The decision for four members of the Bountiful polygamist community to be tried by judge or jury was put off in Creston Law Courts last week by Judge Ron Webb.

Winston Blackmore, James Oler, Brandon Blackmore and Emily (Crossfield) Blackmore were to elect their choice of trial Jan. 29, having previously appeared in court Dec. 9

for the same purpose.“We’re making good progress in

advising Mr. Blackmore as to his options,” said Winston’s lawyer by phone.

Winston, who did not appear, and Oler lead separate factions in Bountiful, and were charged in August with polygamy, the indict-ment alleging Blackmore has 24 wives and Oler four.

Blackmore, Oler trial election pushed back

Council approves ladder truck purchaseBY LORNE ECKERSLEY

Advance Staff

Creston town council gave fire Chief Mike Moore the go-ahead to shop for a ladder truck at the Jan. 27 regular council meeting.

With an agreement to provide fire protection services to West Creston on the horizon, Creston Fire Rescue has reassessed its fleet, identifying what Moore has described as “an opportunity” to add a ladder truck (or quintuple aerial apparatus — pump, water tank, fire hose, aerial device and ground ladders) to the mix.

When the contract is in place and a building is constructed, Creston Fire Rescue will have to keep a fire engine in place in West Creston. Moore proposes to move one of its two fire engines

to the new fire hall, and to replace it with a unit that pro-vides more and better firefight-ing options.

Council approved an expendi-ture not to exceed $280,000, which will be funded from a fire depart-ment capital reserve fund, the town’s general reserves, proceeds from the reduction to one rescue truck from the current two and Regional District of Central Kootenay Area C payment for contract firefighting services.

The plan is all part of Moore’s stated goal of improving the municipality’s Public Fire Protection Classification from its present low level of eight to five, which would likely result in insur-ance savings for town residents.

BY LORNE ECKERSLEYAdvance Staff

The 2015 budget has yet to be finalized, but Creston town council has approved nine “pre-budget expenditures” that will allow staff to get a jump on projects for the coming year.

The spending of nearly $300,000 that includes vehicle replacement, water and sewer projects and small renovations got the go-ahead at the Jan. 27 regular council meeting.

With the town working on a continually updated five-year financial planning model, there are fewer surprises and a clearer medium-term picture, financial director Steffan Klassen had told council in an earlier meeting.

All expenditures had been discussed at an earlier meeting of the committee of the whole.

Council Briefs•Council received a verbal report about a

Creston Fire Rescue strategic plan and directed fire Chief Mike Moore to address the plan in depth at an upcoming committee of the whole meeting.

•RCMP Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan will present his report at an upcoming council meeting.

•Council voted to buy a $200 corporate mem-bership in the Columbia Basin Institute of Regional History, which is putting its research online at www.basininstitute.org.

•Upgrades to the waste water treatment plant are reaping benefits to the town in the form of

energy savings. Fortis BC has issued a rebate cheque for more than $26,240 after deter-mining the value of various savings mea-sures undertaken in the project.

•The Association of Kootenay and Boundary Local Governments member-ship renewal cost of $1,200 was approved.

•A letter of com-plaint about utility charges for home-based business was received.

•A request for sup-port about the District of Hudson’s Hope’s concerns about the proposed Site C dam project was received.

•Zoning amend-ments for the property at 801 Vancouver Street — the “bunker” — received first and second readings. The proposed develop-ment, which includes a craft distillery, will proceed to a public hearing process. The developer will be instructed to hold a public meeting for res-idents and property owners in the area.

Tickets are now available for the always popular awards and wild game banquet sponsored annually by the Creston Valley Rod and Gun Club (CVRGC).

“The banquet is our largest fund-raiser and this year it will be held on Saturday, Feb. 21,” said club member Annette Rocca Morse. “Bring the fami-ly out and have a good time — there will be plenty of raffles, ‘bucket draws’, prizes, dancing and great food.”

The CVRGC consists of outdoor

enthusiasts who are motivated to pro-mote nature and wildlife conservation. The club is an advocate for public use and access on forestry roads to wilder-ness areas and also a supporter of habitat areas for many different species of animals.

Membership has many benefits, including access to the Kidd Creek Rifle Range, and the Mawson Lake archery range, boat dock and picnic area. The club offers indoor archery at the Wynndel Memorial Hall during the winter months, where more experi-enced members are willing to educate those just learning the sport.

The club also sponsors the Conservation and Outdoor Recreation Program (CORE). This course is a must in order to obtain a hunting licence, and classes will be running at the end of February for anyone who is inter-ested. Advice and support of senior members helps to make these pro-grams successful.

In the spring the club hosts an open house Heritage Day at Kidd Creek Rifle Range where the public is invited to come out to learn safe gun handling procedures and try differ-ent types of shooting sports. CVRGC has a family fishing day for members at Mawson Lake on Father’s Day weekend. There are many opportuni-ties to spend quality time outdoors for a family, passing on the traditions of hunting, fishing and trapping. Members are the lifeblood of the organization. All ages are welcome to join, and family participation is always encouraged, as the youth are the future. Volunteering for special events or programs can be quite rewarding, and with member dedica-tion the club will continue to grow and thrive.

Rocca Morse said one of the incen-tives to join CVRGC is the trophy com-petition.

“To be eligible for awards you must purchase a membership prior to Aug. 31,” she said.

Tickets for the Feb. 21 fundraiser are available at Mawson Sports and Paul’s Superette, where memberships can be purchased and renewed, and new keys are available to gain access to the Kidd Creek Rifle Range and Mawson Lake recreation area and archery range.

“If you have ever wanted to belong to a group of likeminded sportsmen, consider becoming a member today,” said Rocca Morse.

“Adding an aerial truck doesn’t guarantee the classification would be improved, but it is a major factor,” Moore told council.

He said he would be working this year to identify what other steps need to be taken to improve the fire protection rating.

A ladder, or aerial, truck has several benefits, including giving firefighters the ability to spray water onto a fire from above, rather than from the side. It also gives firefighters direct access to work on roofs and it can be of value in rescue efforts. An aerial truck of the type Moore is recommending could have been used in the rescue of an injured youth below the Canyon bridge last year, he said. In that rescue, a volun-teer sustained back injuries as he was lowered by ropes to get to the victim.

The contract to provide West Creston with certified fire protection requires placement of a fire engine valued at approximately $90,000, he said.

“Fire Underwriters Survey (FUS) requires a minimum of one fire engine with a minimum 840 gallons per minute pump and 500-gallon water tank capac-ity,” he said.

A purchase of a used unit that could be utilized for about 10 years and that meets this requirement is valued at $70,000-$90,000US.

Instead of purchasing a used unit to meet those requirements, Creston Fire Rescue will move its 2001 GMC Superior fire engine to West Creston and replace it in Creston with the aerial unit.

“The insurance industry (FUS) rec-ommends that a community utilize an aerial apparatus when a community has

five buildings that are three stories or 35 feet or more in height, or a district that has a basic fire flow water requirement greater than 3,300 gallons per minute, or any combination of these criteria,” Moore said.

“From a firefighter safety perspective, an aerial apparatus assists in providing firefighters with the required means of egress or ‘escape access’ from buildings two stories or higher. When firefighters enter buildings on fire, it is required that two controlled means of egress must be provided. One is the protected access through which the firefighters entered the building, the other needs to be controlled by the fire department. This requires pro-viding ladders on a building exterior to reach floors where firefighting activities are taking place.

“At present, the fire department has one ground ladder, which reaches some third floors of buildings and is very labour intensive to deploy. This opera-tional challenge creates delays to safety put firefighters into buildings where the fire is above the second floor.”

He summarized the benefits in hav-ing aerial apparatus, which offers the ability to:

•provide a large volume of water flow directly to the fire, from above the fire, with minimal firefighters for deployment. This improves exposure protection to neighbouring buildings and the ability to sufficiently knock fires down;

•provide water to firefighter hand lines above grade 2 (two storeys or high-er) without extending hoses from the truck through the building and stairwells. This improves setup time and limits water friction loss through long hose lays;

•provide means of egress or second-ary exit to firefighters on all buildings above two storeys quickly and efficient-ly during fire operations;

•provide firefighter safety during room operations for vertical ventilation, in some instances providing opportuni-ty for ventilation to be created without the firefighter leaving the aerial device;

•safely place large volumes of water to high-heat fires, such as a sawmill;

•safely and efficiently place firefighting equipment on roofs or floors above grade;

•utilize for rescue during firefighting on floors above grade; and

•utilize for technical rope rescue incidents.

A new aerial truck would cost about $650,000US. Moore illustrated his presen-tation with information about three used trucks in the U.S., all of which are listed for under $220,000US. Many of the used trucks on the market today cannot be con-sidered, he said, because the Creston fire hall is a low building with doors that have an 11-foot 10-inch clearance.

“I would like to ask the director of finances for his opinion on this pur-chase,” Coun. Kevin Boehmer said dur-ing the council debate about the motion to approve the purchase.

Finance director Steffan Klassen said he had input in the presentation and that the figures provided by Moore were accurate.

“It comes to a decision about the direc-tion that council wants to take,” he said.

Town council approved the motion unanimously.

With the mutual aid agreement in place with regional fire departments, the aerial unit would be available as needed throughout most of the Creston Valley.

For the fifth year, the Creston and District Society for Community Living’s Therapeutic Riding Program (TRP) is hosting Art Trot, its annual fundraiser, running at the Creston and District Community Complex Friday and Saturday.

“It’s really become a big event,” said program director Michelle Whiteaway. “It gets us out into the community and we meet people when we’re not doing lessons.”

In its 10th season at the Endicott property on Erickson Road, the TRP runs spring through fall using horses as therapists for riders with mental, emo-tional and/or physical disabilities. Over 50 riders participate each season, with about 25 volunteers keeping lessons running smoothly.

Art Trot was the idea of Kerry Ross — whose wife, Christine, is a TRP instructor — who organizes it with a committee of Dawn Brazdil-Lust, Barb West, Melanie Folk, Anne Fetterly and Jane Thorburn.

It runs in the Sunshine Room 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, with an opening reception at 5 p.m. Friday featuring entertainment by CDSCL executive director Peter Feltham, and goodies from Overwaitea Foods, Extra Foods and Tim Hortons.

The fundraiser includes a silent auction with about 70 items, as well as books and other treasures, among them fireplace implements from the Prince Charles Secondary School metal shop. Also for sale will be what Whiteaway called “unbelievably beau-tiful” horseshoes by an Adam Robertson Elementary School Grade 5 class, now in its third year of donat-

Riding program hosting Art Trot

ing, having started with clay horses in Grade 3. Single horseshoes will be $10, with others mounted on barn board fetching a higher price.

Also on the list of donation options is a “giving tree”, where people donate $20 for “random things”, including wine, gift certificates and chocolates.

Guests will also be able to see a special piece of equipment used by the TRP: the Equicizer, a non-mechanical horse named Amigo, which makes clients easier to assess, and gets them used to being on a horse before they try the real thing.

Last year’s Art Trot raised about $7,000 for the TRP, and Whiteaway hopes that this year’s will have a simi-lar result. But as well as raising funds, Art Trot is also an opportunity to learn more about the program, with a video running and volunteers present throughout.

“When they see the video and pic-tures, it helps them understand what we do there,” said Whiteaway. “Everyone has different needs, challenges, wants and desires, and we tailor the program specifically for them.”

SubmittedTherapeutic Riding Program member Alexis Folk (right), with her twin sister, Cassidy, on Amigo, the program’s Equicizer.

Crown counsel Tom Arbogast explained there are “multiple terabytes of disclo-sure” to go through while the decision is being made.

“It’s a fairly unwieldy pro-cess,” he said.

The election date for Winston and Oler’s trial was moved to March 26.

Oler, and husband and wife Brandon and Emily have been charged with unlawfully removing a child under 16 from

Canada with the intent that an offence of a sexual nature would be committed outside Canada. Their election date was put off until Feb. 26; Oler plans to be working in Athabasca, Alta., and will appear by phone.

“We do have some concerns about this matter getting dragged out,” said Arbogast.

Also today, Emily asked to have her passport returned so that she can shop in the U.S., mainly for herbs; she took the herbal practitioner course at Creston’s College of the Rockies.

“We have spoken to the

RCMP and there’s a belief there could be a flight risk,” said Arbogast.

She and Brandon are charged with “wrongful removal of a child from Canada,” he added, and it is believed they have an “exten-sive network of contacts in Utah and Arizona.”

“I have responsibilities,” responded Emily. “I’ll return.”

COTR instructor Rachel Beck stood up on behalf of Emily.

“Her commitment to her family is so strong,” said Beck, who offered to act as surety if the passport is returned.

Webb asked Emily to pres-ent material on Feb. 26 showing him rea-son to return the pass-port, saying that shop-ping in the U.S. made the passport “nice to have as opposed to compelling.”

Winston and Emily previously appeared in court Dec. 4 to say they had retained counsel. Oler, whose faction is said to keep close ties with the fol-lowers of Warren Jeffs in the U.S., sent a simi-lar message through Crown counsel. They initially appeared Oct. 9 without counsel, after being charged in August.

To the Editor:Things become curiouser and

curiouser, Alice said.On the 70th anniversary of the liber-

ation of Auschwitz by Russian soldiers, our government has announced a $1 million memorial to commemorate vic-tims of communism. No less than Beverly McLaughlin, chief justice of the Supreme Court, wrote a letter suggest-ing that this was not an appropriate grim memorial to be placed near the Supreme Court Buildings, casting a dubious pall on our concept of justice.

In the meantime, Russian President Vladimir Putin was not even invited to the Auschwitz commemoration by the revisionist history leaders who are cre-ating a new version of historical facts, and who invited the fascist-leaning President Petro Poroshenko from the Ukraine instead.

And where and when will the memorial be built for the victims of regime change, democratic leaders and civilian victims composed pri-marily of women and children slaughtered indiscriminately in vari-ous countries throughout the world in the name of democracy and capi-talism, continuing now?

The West has unleashed a vengeful horde of its own making upon itself, which is painting its forces into a cor-ner; still, they offer armed resistance rather than doing the sensible thing

and simply getting out of the occu-pied countries. Is this also a curious anomaly?

And what can we do, except look on helplessly in curious wonder, wonder-ing when common sense will prevail?

Larry EwashenCreston

To the Editor:Well, another Christmas has come

and gone. Christmas is always a time of many messages of good thoughts, of love and goodwill, and peace on Earth. But I am sad to say that I heard very little of these good messages from the mainstream media; the emphases were on war and slaughter, the glorification of the military and saber rattling rather than thoughts of diplomacy and peace-ful resolutions.

During the Nuremberg trials after the Second World War, Herman Goering, Hitler’s second in command, said in his cell to the prison psycholo-gist, “Why, of course, the people don’t want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don’t want war: neither in Russia, nor in England, nor, for that matter, in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is

always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democra-cy or a fascist dictatorship or a parlia-ment or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemak-ers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” (Nuremberg Diary by G.M. Gilbert, page 278)

Before the advent of Harperism, Canada had a sterling reputation as a peacekeeping nation for years, but in the few short years under Stephen Harper’s reign, Canadians are not now safe at home or any where else in the world. When my daughter graduated, she and a friend back-packed throughout Europe and felt safe because they had maple leaf labels on their backpacks and gave out maple leaf pins. American back-packers begged for these labels and pins. Some may say that times have changed, but in Canada’s case it was Harper that changed things, and sadly we “sheeplike” citizens have allowed these changes.

In a recent Passionate Eye documen-tary on CBC the topic was the rise of ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria). In dialogue, an American general casually mentioned that the U.S.A. had “special interests” in 150 coun-tries. That, in a nutshell is the reason for the rise of ISIS.

How many countries, if any, has Canada got “special interests” in? Stephen Harper has aspirations, so it seems, to create a “Canadian empire” by riding in on the coattails of the American Military Monster.

This is not the Canada we want. Let us remember this come election time.

Does anyone remember the good old days before Facebook, Instagram and Twitter? When you had to take a photo of your dinner, then get the film devel-oped, then go around to all your friends’ houses to show them the picture of your dinner? No? Me neither.

Good, bad or indifferent, Facebook and other social media are here and, like weather, you can complain about it, ignore it or just accept the fact that it is so you might as well get on with your life. From a service industry standpoint, we are faced with a bit of a conundrum: Do we wade in and try and answer all questions and concerns or simply stay out as it can become a “no win” situa-tion quite rapidly?

Case in point, we did run across a couple of separate issues a while back – one was about the people that use the family change rooms that other patrons think shouldn’t be allowed to. Actually the term “family change room” is kind of a generic term used in aquatics to describe those small rooms used for perhaps a family or a mom with small children or a senior

or someone that requires more privacy for a myriad of reasons than the main change room affords. I can see both sides; in the past, I too have struggled to get one kid dressed only to discover that in that split second you turned your back, your toddler is now show-ering in the urinal or pumping all the soap out. I also understand that as people get older or have limitations, they perhaps struggle to get dressed and wish to maintain some dignity while doing so.

Hey, we get it and in bringing this particular conversation to staff, we realize we can keep this issue in mind when scheduling programming to perhaps avoid potential dressing room conflicts between kids and seniors. We have also ordered a couple of child protection seats for the main change rooms which, like the baby change tables, bolt to the wall where you can sit little Johnny and throw on the shoulder harness to contain him for four or five minutes while you get his sister taken care of.

Another issue raised recently, which we are well aware of, is the operating hours of certain parts of the facility. Reading through comments, it becomes apparent that being open very early and closing late every day would be the preferred choice; how-ever, there are a lot of factors to be considered including costs, ability to staff and even impact to other busi-nesses. Where we are today was the result of a lot of research, cost projec-tions and discussion amongst staff and directors to provide residents

with the best overall value for acces-sibility. Does it fit everyone? Probably not, but it fits a lot and in saying that, if there is an opportunity or a need to expand or change hours while main-taining fiscal responsibility and other factors, that would be more conversa-tion, research and cost projections that unlikely would be floated on Facebook.

So, at this point, it’s probably safe to say we probably wouldn’t join any conversations that are demeaning any person, place or thing, or are harass-ing or offensive — we’ve all seen how fast a lynch mob can form within min-utes onscreen. While “we” don’t actively monitor social media such as Facebook at this point, we certainly recognize the aspect that it is a power-ful medium to communicate with today’s technology; in fact many of our events have been even more suc-cessful by people sharing posts.

If you really have a concern, I would suggest using some of the methods currently in place such as comment cards or speaking directly with staff or administration, and leav-ing information that we can contact you if we need follow-up. With over 160,000 visits per year, we do get com-ments about hours or accessibility or other items. Some we can remedy and some we can’t, but if it’s within our power and it makes sense, even if we stumble across it on Facebook, we will certainly try to figure it out.

OPINION LINE

A lot of new technology involves things that change, mostly in a small way, our lives. Not necessarily for the better, but not always for the worse, either.

At Creston Public Library on Saturday evening I found myself extolling the virtues of satellite video transmission, something that has become so much a part of our life that we hardly give it a second thought.

More than a dozen years ago, I installed a (not entirely legal) satellite TV system at our home in Riverview, tired of getting several fuzzy TV chan-nels on two flimsy antennas and hav-ing given up hope that cable would ever make its expensive way out to the area. For someone who spent a large part of my life trying to track a hockey puck in the snow that accom-panied all of our TV channels, it was quite a thrill to get a clear picture. Not to mention a choice of dozens of sta-tions. I opted for an American system that required me to pretend I lived south of the border because it offered more choice.

When we moved to town I had a legitimate satellite system installed, choice and quality having improved significantly, and it became a source of entertainment until I grew frus-trated with the lack of quality. Finding myself spending more and

more time clicking through every channel available and finally settling on something that wasn’t particular-ly edifying, I finally chose to discon-nect the system and live a life with-out cable or satellite.

Today, of course, it is relatively easy to find whatever one wants to watch on the Internet, with streaming sites around the world bypassing the need for more wires, equipment and costs. I wonder how many people watched the Super Bowl on the Internet, as I did. I suspect the numbers are grow-ing at an astonishing rate.

But satellite video continues to play an important part in our lives. In the last half-dozen years we have made the drive to Trail, Coeur d’Alene, Spokane or even Calgary to watch live telecasts of the Metropolitan Opera. The high-definition presentations are a visual and aural treat, putting viewers in seats that the opera house itself sim-ply cannot match.

Ten or 12 times a year we head out early on a Saturday, or even the night before, so we can be in our theatre seats at 10 a.m. (or, for longer produc-tions, even 9 a.m.) to catch an opera matinee that is being shown live from New York at 1 p.m. eastern time. Instead of paying upwards of $100 for a seat in Lincoln Centre to be one of 4,000 in attendance, we fork over about $25 and take our more comfort-able seats in the theatre. Occasional packed houses are outnumbered by the times we sit among a group of a couple dozen enthusiasts.

Granted, there is nothing quite like the experience of live opera at the Met. I’ve seen eight operas in it and enjoyed every second. But staring at the gold curtain before and between acts has nothing on the enjoyment of sitting in a movie theatre and seeing a host like Renée Fleming or Deborah Voigt inter-viewing — live — singers as they come off the stage for a break. Or chat-ting with the company’s director, head carpenter, set designer, costume designer, chorus director or orchestra leader. Occasionally, the hosts make

their way further behind the scenes and into the various departments — costume, wig, rehearsal, woodwork — to give us a rare look into what it takes to turn a $300 million annual budget into entertainment now afforded to viewers in more than 65 countries around the globe. We also get to watch the crew moving out sets from one scene and bringing in the next. It is a fascinating view that one doesn’t get in the theatre.

For those who see satellite as dooming live performances (just as they forecast the end of newspapers in favour of digital information) the pessimism hasn’t played out. By tak-ing the show to the people, the appe-tite for live opera actually seems to be growing. In addition to our visits to Manhattan in the last few years, we have made taking in an opera a priority on trips to London and Paris, and have even spent a week in Seattle so we could see the four lengthy operas that comprise Wagner’s Ring Cycle over a six-day period. Heck, we have even driven to Nelson, Calgary and Coeur d’Alene to watch live presentations.

The satellite broadcasts were not our introduction to opera. Earlier, we had taken in performances in Rome, Venice, San Diego, Vancouver and Calgary. But the broadcasts served to increase our appetite. We have become more knowledgeable which, in turn, makes us even more interested in the genre.

A hundred or more years ago, opera was entertainment for work-ing people as well as the elite. Attendees might show up for a show with pockets stuffed with tomatoes that would fly toward the stage if they weren’t pleased with the performance. Satellite technolo-gy is accomplishing much the same thing. Without the tomatoes, thank-fully. No need to leave a mess for the folks who show up to watch the next movie in the theatre.

I am very grateful for the opportu-nity to write a column for the Creston Valley Advance this month. I am very excited that the Advance has given this opportunity to me and that my fellow council members let me vol-unteer for this month.

I was very humbled this past elec-tion when the wonderful Creston resi-dents voted me in as a town councillor. I have wanted to serve the community as a political leader for many years. I can’t specifically pin down a date of when I developed this urge to do more, but much of it could be attribut-ed to my superb parents, Paige and Laurie Boehmer, who have taught me to always go the extra mile. I also drew inspiration from my grandfather, Bill Herchmer. He was a councillor for the Town of Creston for 11 years, retiring from politics in 1993. My parents named me after my grandfather; my

middle name is William (Kevin is not short for Bill). My mother, Laurie, and Aunt Carol Huscroft continually tell me how much I remind them of their father, Bill. Usually with regards to, in my own words, “being financially savvy,” but they more than likely call it “being cheap.”

I feel very proud to walk into coun-cil chambers, past pictures of my grandpa and the many other men and women that have served the commu-nity so well. I caught myself looking for his picture once again this past week as I attended my council meet-ings, feeling a wonderful connection. I found it, just in case you were wonder-ing. My grandfather passed away some years ago, and a couple of weeks ago I received his old briefcase, yellow comb and all, from my step-grand-mother Vera Herchmer. It was a very wonderful experience.

While I believe it is very impor-tant to have a connection to our his-tory and our past, it is with an eye towards the future that I sit in council with six other qualified individuals, as well as some top notch staff. Being on council has opened my eyes to many things, such as the immense amount of meetings that we as coun-cillors attend. I have also been awe-struck with the professional staff that the Town of Creston has the honor of employing. The staff has shown a great knowledge base in helping us, as a council, plan for the future.

We have been deep into budget preparation lately, and trying to effec-tively allocate our scarce resources. It is

a tall task to ensure that everything is looked after, as well as building up suit-able reserves for the future. That is one thing that many people have a hard time with; at some point we will need to replace infrastructure, whether it is 20 years or 50 years down the road. No pun intended. Infrastructure is conse-quently very expensive to maintain and replace, so there is a great importance to have money set aside each year for this.

As a council, our goal is to ensure that the Town of Creston is a business friendly environment, while also main-taining our lovely, laidback, rural life-style. This is something that we are trying to ensure is included in the budget process and one of our focuses this year. We have set aside some time in the near future to strategize as a council our priorities for this four-year term that we have embarked upon.

I feel very confident with the cur-rent council members and have been impressed with their keen observa-tions and quality discussion. There hasn’t been much of what I would call lively debate yet, but all of us feel con-fident enough to engage in lively debate if needed. The atmosphere sur-rounding council is very open for dif-ferent ideas and perspectives. Town manager Lou Varela many times has spoken to us as a council to ensure that we feel comfortable expressing our thoughts and opinions. I was going to write “our lovely town manager”, but I didn’t want to come across as sexist. Politics is very interesting.

Kevin Boehmer is a chartered accoun-tant in his first term on town council.

OFA LEVEL 3

As credit has become more and more abun-dant in our society, your credit report, and thus your credit rating, has become more important in your daily life. Your credit rating affects all aspects of your financial activities when it comes to borrowing money. Your credit rating also has the ability to affect the job you get, the apartment you rent and even the ability to open a bank account.

Your credit report itself is simply a listing of all of your debt. Here in Canada, the two main credit-reporting agencies are Trans Union and Equifax. Both agencies have a credit history file on anyone who has ever borrowed money. Every time you borrow money or make a payment on a loan or credit card, the lender then reports the information about the transaction to these two agencies. In addition to credit information, you will also find liens and judgments on your credit report, as well as your address and possi-bly your work history. The accumulation of all of this information is called your credit report.

The information on your credit report varies based on your creditors and what they have reported about you. Potential lenders and oth-ers, such as employers and cellphone providers, view your credit history as a reflection of your character. Whether we like it or not, our financial habits have a lot to say about the way in which we choose to live our lives.

The credit score, or beacon score, is a num-ber that gives mortgage lenders an idea of your lending risk. Credit scores range from 300 to 900; the higher your credit score the bet-ter. The mortgage products and interest rate that you will qualify for are often determined by your credit score.

Leaving is never easy — well, you can go into the sadness about all the people and things you’ll miss, or hide until it’s time to go so you don’t have to deal with any of it, or you can get on with all the

pieces of leave taking. If, like me, this is your time to plow through the work of change, take rests, because change takes a

lot of emotional and spiritual energy. Life is full of changes, coming and

going events. As I prepare to leave Creston to retire to Japan, I think of all the other leave takings people are going through. Sometimes you prepare a bit, not knowing when a stage of life, or life itself, will end.

The story of Jonah the “refuse-nik” coincided with my thoughts about leaving this past week. God had trouble getting Jonah to go deliver his message of repen-tance to the people of Nineveh, because of their evil ways. Jonah doesn’t want to go to an evil place, and really wants God to deliver on his promise of destruction. Jonah tries to escape God’s directive to him by heading the opposite direction in a boat. Storms threaten to capsize the boat until the sailors begin to suspect Jonah of being the cause. Jonah tells them the sea

will calm if they throw him overboard, and lo and behold, God provides a great fish to swallow Jonah up when they do.

Jonah prays inside the fish and vows to make things good with God — God’s will, not Jonah’s, to be primary in his life. Hence, Jonah is thrown up on dry land and heads off to Nineveh to deliver his short sermon, “You have forty more days, and you will be destroyed!”

Jonah goes to sit in a place where he can comfortably watch the destruction of the city, but no hellfire or devastation occurs. The people of Nineveh repent and try to live lives of communal support and care for one another, so God is compassionate. Well Jonah is ticked and then becomes irratio-nally angry about everything, even when the plant that shaded him in his comfy bleacher seat is felled by a bug.

Like Jonah, there are endless things we can observe that don’t go our way, especial-ly if our imagination says that somehow everything should work the way we want it.

We are part of the wonderful mixture that is creation, which means that our will is not the only operative force in why things go the way they do.

Why we go the way we do entails God and everything around us. How we respond to the way life goes has a lot to do with our understanding of being attached to a rudder that guides us through anything — even when we can’t see it. Any goodbye or mis-sion or arrival you are part of will be stabi-lized by the knowledge that the holy, the sacred, the “godness” in life make you part of a greater good in the world.

12:57, made possible by a breakdown in Creston’s defensive zone. In the second period, the Thunder Cats “got a lot closer to doing what we want to do, which is be real strong on the fore-check,” said Dubois.

Ryley Bosman scored the Thunder Cats’ only goal at 0:32 when the puck bounced off another player in front of the net.

Creston lost its edge in the third period, Dubois said, with both goaltenders — Creston’s Brock Lefebvre and Kimberley’s Tyson Brouwer — keep-ing their teams in the game, ultimately stopping 34 Creston shots and 28 Kimberley shots.

“It was certainly a goaltenders’ duel,” said Dubois. “That’s what we’ve come to expect from Brock, and Brouwer is certainly one of the top goaltenders in our league.”

The game ended up going into double overtime, with a Kimberley goal at 1:54 securing their victory.

On Saturday, “The effort in Golden was about as flat as we’ve been in a while,” said Dubois.

The Rockets led the scoring with a power-play goal in the first period, with Carson Cartwright scoring his first goal a minute later. He scored again in the mid-second period, with the Rockets tying the score 2-2 at 6:15.

“I think we got pleased with ourselves a little too quickly, which has been a bit of a tendency,” said Dubois.

Cartwright earned a hat trick when he scored the game-winner at 6:55 in the third period, fol-lowed at 4:56 by Connor Kidd scoring his first goal since being on the injured list for three weeks.

Dubois again credited their goalie, this time Mitchell Martell, for keeping Creston in the game, particularly in the third period when they killed a lengthy five-on-three Golden power play.

“Mitchell made a number of high-end saves.”The Thunder Cats have three games coming

up in the next week as they make their way toward the season-closer on Feb. 14.

The Columbia Valley Rockies — trailing the Rockets with 26 points — host the Thunder Cats on Friday, a matchup they can’t underestimate.

“Columbia Valley has played us pretty tough, and certainly that’s been the case in their rink,” he said.

Creston will visit Golden on Saturday, but the weekend’s win won’t guarantee another one.

“Our feeling is we can beat any team any-where when we’re putting in a full effort,” he said. “We seem to gauge our effort to what we perceive to be the quality of our opponent. The effort has to be there because the points are just as meaningful regardless of the opponent.”

On Tuesday, the Thunder Cats host Fernie. The game will be intense, Dubois said, with the Thunder Cats wanting to make up for an 8-2 loss last time.

“We’re wanting to redeem for a bit of a poor performance in January,” he said.

Thunder Cats aiming for second in division

BY BRIAN LAWRENCEAdvance Editor

With the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League playoffs less than two weeks away, the Creston Valley Thunder Cats still have a chance to pull ahead in the Eddie Mountain Division.

As of Tuesday, the Fernie Ghostriders had clinched the division with 71 points, with the Kimberley Dynamiters in second place with 59 and Creston in third with 56. The Golden Rockets followed with 47.

“Right now, we’re nine points up on Golden — a win for us or a loss for them locks us into third place at worst,” said head coach Jeff Dubois, who expected the second-third bat-tle with the Dynamiters to come down to the wire.

The Thunder Cats earned three points on the weekend, with a 2-1 overtime loss to the visiting Kimberley (whom they also hosted after press time on Tuesday) and a 4-2 victory over the Rockets.

Kimberley led the scoring on Friday with a first period goal at

Creston Valley Thunder Cats goaltender Brock Lefebvre during Friday’s game against the Dynamiters.Jeff Banman/jeffsphotosnmotion.com

BY SIGNE MILLER

The big hat has retired from politics — for now. Deserving of a rest after 12 years as Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) Area B director, four years as chair of the RDCK, six years as chair of the Kootenay East Regional Hospital District (KERHD) and the last five years as chair of the Ktunaxa Kinbasket treaty advisory committee, John Kettle and his wife, Marilyn, plan to go south and fish for a few months. But they will be back.

More than 200 friends, fellow politi-cians and staff of the RDCK gathered Jan. 20 at the Creston and District Community Complex, (expanded and upgraded under Kettle’s chairmanship), to celebrate an almost endless list of his accomplishments.

Lower Kootenay Band Chief Jason Louie spoke respectfully of his negotia-tions with Kettle and the RDCK on the use of the Lister area landfill property,

and the upcoming band referendum that will hopefully settle the issue for many decades.

Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks described Kettle as an American with a big Canadian heart (actually the Kettle family became Canadian citizens decades ago), and called him “hardworking, tena-cious and with a great sense of humour.”

Kudos and roasts were offered by dignitaries from Columbia Basin Trust, KERHD, RDCK directors and staff, Justin Kettle (speaking for Kettle’s four children), representatives of the Area B advisory planning commission, and the Area B Tourism, Economic Development and Communication Society.

Congratulatory messages were read from Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett, deputy premier Rich Coleman, Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall and Premier Christy Clark, attesting to the fact that Kettle reached out beyond this district for assistance and advice to help his constituents.

The theme of the evening was “Hats off to John” and the hall was decorated with black hats, down to little chocolate cow-boy hats on the cupcakes. A delicious beef-on-a-bun dinner was provided by A Break In Time Caffé. Virtual Valley Connection filmed the event and Kettle will be pre-sented with a DVD as a souvenir.

Dinner honours retired director

Penny A.P. AndersonJohn (above) and Marilyn Kettle at a retirement cel-ebration held Jan. 20.

Generally speaking, the lowest beacon score that lenders are will-ing to work with is 600. If your credit score falls below 600, insured financing (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and Genworth, need-ed for financing properties at higher than 80 per cent loan to value) will generally not consider the application. The average cred-it bureau score I see is in the 650-700 range, and anything above 700 is exceptional.

However, lenders do consider a lot more than just the beacon score. Other things they consider are how long you have had credit products, the size and type of product, and any past missed payments (to a certain extent). So even though a person might have a 760 beacon score, if the only trade line on their credit bureau is a $500 credit card, and they are applying for a $400,000 mortgage, their credit history may not suffice.

Another thing that I see quite a bit, are people that are in excellent finan-cial health but have no credit history. There are sometimes ways around this, though. Some lenders will review “other” sources of credit his-tory, such as phone, utility and other kinds of regular bill payments.

If someone has a damaged credit rating, there are often still alterna-tives. Mortgage brokers have access to numerous private lenders that are ready and willing to lend to people with bad credit. However, it does come at a price. The interest rates are generally much higher (currently 8-10 per cent versus 3.5 per cent for someone with good credit history), and there are upfront costs, as well. But if it is the only alternative available, while costly, it can provide an opportunity to rebuild one’s credit during the pri-vate loan term so they can refinance through a conventional lender at the end of the term.

One thing that many people do not know is that you have the legal right to obtain a copy of your credit report. A mortgage profes-sional can help you obtain a copy of this report and go through it

with you to verify that all of the information is true and correct.

The good news is that your credit report is a working docu-ment. This means that you have the ability, over time, to repair any damaged credit and increase your credit score.

This week’s feature:Now you’re talking... new Jeep Renegade —with an accent!

Jonah could have gotten interested in where and when the transformation would take place, but he got hooked by the attraction of destruc-

tion. So easy to do!How will I learn Japanese?

How will I explore a city of 13.4 million after living in Creston? How do you volun-teer when you can’t talk? This could be destruction! And then again… I could trust that the unknown is just that, the unknown (not necessarily

destruction), the yet to be found, touched, seen and known. Our comprehension of the godness is a very gentle unfolding, often much slower than our walk through what-ever maze of trials and joy come to us. I pray for us all that we reserve our judgment on the present. Rather than

try to sit above in a grandstand to watch the gladiators, might part of our meditation be to gently look back and sift through the sands of time to find the way com-passion and hope have entered our life?

Even though he was dramati-cally saved from the belly of a whale, Jonah still thought he knew how the compassion in this world should be doled out or not. Jonah may have needed a few more dra-matic home-leaving episodes before he would realize that atti-tude of gratitude is just a more graceful way to go. I will try to

take a lesson as I go. Home-leaving is a Buddhist euphemism for leaving the secular world and entering the monastic — some-times a great attention is required.

My thanks to all I have met for your friendship and care. May it be well with you in all your coming and goings.

Creston Valley Youth Soccer Assoc. is seeking a Technical Director

The CVYSA is looking for an individual to take on the paid, contract position of Technical Director. This is currently a temporary, part-time position for the 2015 season.

The CVYSA runs a 10-week spring program with approximately 200 players from U6 to U18. It is run by an all-volunteer Board of Directors.

The Technical Director position is a challenging one in that the season is short, the community from which to recruit volunteer coaches and managers is small, and the number of youth who play soccer is limited.

The successful candidate is someone who can overcome the community challenges and help grow the program.

This newly created position will initially focus on coach recruitment, training, and support, as well as the creation of a Technical Development Plan.

The successful candidate will be a high-energy, highly organized, innovative, and self-motivated individual.

If you are interested, please go to ourwebsite: crestonvalleysoccer.comfor more information and to apply.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

BY BRIAN LAWRENCEAdvance Editor

Games, entertainment, history and more will be part of Family Day’s second annual Children’s Winter Festival, running 1-4 p.m. Monday at the Lower Kootenay

Band gymnasium.Over 500 people attended last

year’s Family Day event at Rotacrest Hall, prompting the move — which offers much more than a larger venue.

“Kids are kids wherever they come from,” said Rachel Wagner, Teen Action Committee advocate

and organizer of the event. “It’s really exciting to feel I got to have a part in bringing the communities together. That’s a really big thing. That’s bigger than me.”

With the theme “Youth Bridging Communities”, the event kicks off with an opening ceremony at 1 p.m., and it’s all fun and games after that. Geared mainly for kids aged pre-school to seven or eight, there will be tables for Play-Doh, drawing and painting. Family Place and Creston and District Community Complex are also lending some activities, includ-ing the CDCC’s giant inflatable ball.

On the entertainment side, a few local musicians have been lined up to perform, as has well-known jug-gler Jayden Gigliotti, sure to impress children and adults alike. LKB members will also share informa-tion about their culture.

“I’m hoping for it just to be stimulating at all times,” said Wagner. “There should always be something to do.”

A shuttle will run from the CDCC entrance and the Creston Valley Public Library to the LKB building from 12:45-4:30 p.m., to make it easier for all to attend the event. (See the ad below for details.)

“I think it is really important to nurture people from an early age, and I think it’s important to cele-brate them,” said Wagner.

Event offering fun for families

Brian LawrenceThe drawing table was a popular place at last year’s Family Day event.

Family Day gives families the chance to spend time

together.What do people do?On Family Day, many people plan and take part in activities aimed at the whole family. These include visiting art exhibitions, watching movies, skating on outdoor ice rinks, playing board games and taking part in craft activities. Some communities plan special public events, and art galleries and museums may have reduced price or free entry. As the weather is usually very cold in February, hot chocolate and freshly baked cookies are popular snacks. Other people use the long weekend as an opportunity for a short winter break or to travel to visit family members or friends. As Family Day falls on the same date as National Heritage Day (except in British Columbia), some people use the day to explore their personal heritage and family history.

Public lifeIn the provinces of Alberta, Ontario, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia many people have a day off work and schools are generally closed on Family Day. Many businesses and organizations are closed, but post of� ces may be open. Public transport services may run to their usual or reduced timetables.In the province of Manitoba, the third Monday of February is a general holiday, known as Louis Riel Day. Many people have a day off work and school and many businesses, organizations and stores are closed. In some communities, stores are open after noon. Public transport services may run to Sunday or holiday timetables. In rural areas, there may be no services.In the other provinces and territories of Canada, Family Day is not observed, and neither the third nor the second Monday in February are holidays there. Businesses, organizations, schools and post of� ces are open as usual and public transport services run to their normal timetables.

BackgroundFamily Day was � rst held in Canada in the province of Alberta in 1990. It is supposed to re� ect the values of family and home that were important to the pioneers who founded Alberta, and give workers the opportunity to spend more time with their families. Family Day was introduced in Saskatchewan in 2007 and in Ontario in 2008. British Columbia observes Family Day as a statutory holiday for the � rst time in 2013. One of the reasons for introducing Family Day was that there was a long period when there were no holidays from New Year’s Day until Good Friday.

Holidays to celebrate families are also held in other places around the globe. In the Australian Capital Territory, the � rst Tuesday of November is known as Family and Community Day. In South Africa, the day after Easter Sunday is Family Day.
