The future of Creston Valley schools remains uncertain follow-ing the May 3 School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) board meeting, which added amendments to the district’s draft reconfiguration plan.

Approved were the consider-ations of the permanent closure of Yahk Elementary School (YES), which has no students enrolled for 2016-17, and the closure of the Creston Education Centre (CEC), pending the outcome of negotia-tions for a possible sale (both the Regional District of Central

Kootenay and Town of Creston have expressed interest in, though not specifically the purchase of, the facility in letters to the board).

Both amendments to the draft plan presented last month — which narrowed down options presented in February — were proposed by Creston trustee Heather Suttie,

with Creston’s Rebecca Huscroft recommending, should the CEC close, the subsequent move of Homelinks to Prince Charles Secondary School, and Wildflower School and Strong Start to Adam Robertson Elementary School.

Belly dancers from the Creston Valley will be among dancers from 201 other cities when they take part in the 2016 international Shimmy Mob on Saturday at the Creston Valley Farmers’ Market.

They’re having fun practic-ing for the event that raises awareness and funds for a seri-ous cause.

“It started in Coquitlam … as a fundraiser for raise funds for women and children who were victims of violence and abuse,” said Creston team leader Katie Hammer, who also owns the Valley View Studio, where she teaches belly dancing.

The dancers will present their 15-minute performance

as a flash mob sometime between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. at the May 14 farmers’ market, and repeat it at 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. during the Creston Lions Club 11th Avenue street fair on May 21 during the Creston Valley Blossom Festival. Dancers will be selling tickets to five raffle baskets, which will be on display at the fair.

Hammer’s troupe, the Belly Fusion Dancers, is raising funds for the Kootenai Community Centre Society (KCCS), which runs Stopping the Violence programs, pro-viding a safe and supportive environment for women and children who are victims of domestic violence or in crisis, operating a 24-hour crisis line and safe home for women. KCCS also runs day cares,

advocates for seniors and peo-ple with low income, youth programs and New Life Furniture and Recycling.

“It's important that all vic-tims of abuse and violence know that we do have a non-profit organization that does a lot for the community,” said Hammer.

Hammer moved to Creston from the Fraser Valley over three years ago, and started her dance studio in 2013 after tak-ing lessons at the rec centre. It was a great way to get well, she said, after she and a friend sur-vived breast cancer.

“After we went through it, our energy levels were really low and we wanted to find some form of exercise to up our energy,” said Hammer. “We met our teacher and got hooked.”

Annual General Meeting

BY BILL METCALFENelson Star

Black Press newspapers in the West Kootenay/Boundary have a new regional publish-er. Eric Lawson took over last week at the helm of the Trail Times, Castlegar News, Rossland News, Nelson Star, West Kootenay Advertiser, Grand Forks Gazette, Creston Valley Advance, Arrow Lakes News and Boundary Creek Times.

Lawson and his wife, Linda, have just moved to Nelson from Manitoba, where he was the publisher of the Brandon Sun. He says it’s part of their gradual lifelong jour-ney from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

“My wife and I were both born in a hospital in St John’s, N.L., that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, and we say we have been trying to get to the Pacific ever since. We have been moving steadily west. For me it is an experi-ence of getting to know the whole country. We have visit-ed B.C. a number of times and loved it here and looked for an opportunity to move here. When this opportunity came along, all the pieces seemed to fit.”

Lawson has worked in com-munity newspapers for decades.

“My first job when I got out of college was as a reporter and photographer at a community newspaper in Truro, N.S., and I have worked in community media ever since, for 30 years.”

Since then he has worked in the Maritimes, Ontario and Manitoba as a news editor,

sales manager, general manag-er and publisher.

“What I like about commu-nity newspapers is the con-nection you have to the com-munities you live in,” he says. “There is absolutely nothing that will connect you to your community faster than work-ing in community media. Everywhere I have gone I have tried to be involved with

the community, and tried to make sure that the newspa-pers reflected and were com-mitted to the communities they served. I hope I am able to do that here as well. And I enjoy the variety — newspa-pers always give you lots of variety.”

Lawson holds a master of arts from University of Western Ontario and an executive MBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business in London, Ont.

Asked about his views on the role of newspapers in the media world, and the financial challenges they often face, Lawson is optimistic.

“I feel I am working in a vibrant industry. It never crosses my mind that I am not. I have worked with news-papers that were deeply con-nected to their communities and were successful. It is true

we have to think about our online strategy and non-tradi-tional competitors, but it has never crossed my mind that I was working in a failing industry. I don’t mean to be naive — I understand there are real challenges in the industry. But I think it is vibrant and has a future.”

Lawson says he’s been active in all the communities he’s

lived in. He was president of the Rotary Club in Brandon and involved in the Chamber of Commerce. He was a board member of the YMCA. As dog lovers and the owners of a Siberian Husky, Lawson and his wife have also been involved in supporting animal shelters.

To the people of the West Kootenay, Lawson, inter-viewed on a sunny 25-degree afternoon, says, “Wow, is the weather ever nice! I hope we will be given an opportunity to settle into the community on a personal level and a pro-fessional level and give back. I want to jump in with both feet, get to know the commu-nities, get to know the people, and get started.”

Lawson replaces Chuck Bennett, who had been regional publisher since 2007.

Eric Lawson is the new regional publisher for Black Press papers, including the Advance.

Creston RCMP received 60 calls for service from May 2-8, Staff Sgt. Darryl Hammond said on Monday.

May 2•Three suspicious people were reported

in a vehicle on 11th Avenue North, where they were watching people come and go from the credit union. They were gone when RCMP arrived.

•The executor of a will asked for assistance in keeping the peace on Teetzel Road.

•Police responded to an anonymous call about a loud radio in Erickson only to find the radio wasn’t very loud. The homeown-ers were slightly annoyed that someone complained.

•A warehouse alarm went off on 35th Avenue South.

•A male could be heard yelling in the background when a female on Simon Road called 911 asking for the police. Police arrived to find they were arguing but no assault had taken place.

May 3•A statement was taken at a Highway 21

residence on behalf of Cranbrook RCMP.•Police did not locate the driver of a west-

bound semi, who was seen texting while driv-ing near Moyie.

•A male driver wearing a white hat was reportedly driving erratically on Helen Street.

•A vehicle being driving in excess of 40 km/h over the speed limit east of Creston was impounded for seven days.

•Police recognized and stopped a prohibited driver on Northwest Boulevard. The driver was impaired, and given a 90-day roadside suspen-sion.

•Members inside the RCMP detachment saw a black motorcycle fleeing their parking lot. Another vehicle in the lot belonged to a driver coming to report the motorcycle was speeding through the neighbourhood.

May 4•A patient who was upset and swearing

at nurses departed before police arrived at the hospital.

•Licence plates were stolen on 16th Avenue South.

•A possible breach of no-contact condi-tions was reported in Erickson.

•The driver of a vehicle parked illegally on 10th Avenue North had not noticed the yellow curb beside the car.

•Flag people on Highway 3 reported a driver that failed to stop for a stop sign.

In addition to the SD8 programs, the CEC is the home of Family Place and early years pro-grams run by Valley Community Services, which would require new premises in the event of a closure.

“I feel confident because this is a consider-ation,” said Huscroft, who added she’s looking forward to further consultation with the public.

The amendment to the plan also included the potential closures of Winlaw, Jewett (Meadow Creek) and Salmo elementary schools, and Nelson’s Trafalgar Middle School, and other options for West Kootenay schools.

The inclusion of several options led Creston trustee Cody Beebe and trustees Bill Maslechko and Sharon Nazaroff to abstain from approving the amendments.

“There are parts I can support and parts I can't, so I'll be voting against this,” said Beebe, whose earlier motion to maintain status quo at the CEC failed.

The decision to consider permanently closing YES came after the board unanimously voted for the temporary closure of the building next year.

“My heart goes out to the community of Yahk that we’re considering this, but with the project-ed enrolment of zero students, it’s the right thing to do,” said Huscroft.

The decision for the board to approve the facilities draft plan had been scheduled for May 3, but was delayed 60 days, until July 5, when the bylaw will receive two readings and be debated. In order for the final facilities plan to include a closure, the board must follow the consideration of closure process, which involves a 60-day con-sultation period.

The delay also came after a May3 consultation with the board’s legal counsel, which recom-mended that trustees refrain from stating their opinions during the process; to do so would render them unable to continue discussing the reconfiguration plan.

Chair Lenora Trenaman said there is a policy to follow, and “part of the package is trustees need to have an open mind. ... We’ll still have conversation and debate, but not today.”

As I drove into Calgary late last week, the first thing that caught my attention was people streaming toward a small lemonade stand. Pedestrians were making a beeline and cars were stopping along the street, drivers exiting and jogging toward the stand. The attraction, of course, was not so much the lemon-ade as the sign indicating that all proceeds would be directed toward the emergency in Fort McMurray via the Red Cross.

Not surprisingly, the raging and devastating fire was the focus all around the city. On Saturday, a group of Kensington residents set up a lemonade stand and bake sale, again with all proceeds destined for Calgary’s northerly neighbours. In a book store I heard a clerk encourag-ing patrons to go over to make their donations. Everywhere I went I overheard snippets of conversations talking about the fire and how peo-ple could help.

It was a refreshing change from earlier in the week when CBC Radio broadcast a number of inter-views of Fort McMurray residents, who were angry and looking for someone to blame at the chaos that was inevitable as 80,000 residents streamed from the area to escape the danger. Why weren’t more roads constructed with emergency escape in mind? (This from people who typically resent every cent of taxes they pay, and who would gladly take to the streets to stop any talk of a provincial sales tax to fund their financially strapped government.) Why wasn’t the Canadian military called in at the first signs of emergency? (Failing to remember that most of our mili-tary is no more prepared to fight fires than you or I, or that logistics get a little complicated when bil-lowing clouds of smoke make

flight dangerous and even impossi-ble.) Where were Premier Rachel Notley and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau? (In this most conserva-tive of all Canadian provinces many were happy to blame the whole mess on Liberals and New Democrats.)

Anger and frustration are to be expected when people and their property are threatened, though, and who could fail to feel sympathy for those who had to pack up with short notice and set out for Anywhere, Alta., only to be unable to fuel up their vehicles or find a safe escape route?

Now, with the evacuation behind them and knowledge that emergen-cy services have been handled extraordinarily well, more focus has been placed on the positive. Once again, firefighters are getting credit for their incredible commitment to their communities and the good deeds of ordinary citizens, like the guys who set up a truck at the entrance to Lac la Biche and offered free gasoline and water to those who were arriving from Fort McMurray, were getting the attention they deserve. The news is as full of foot-age at emergency shelters all around the province as it is with photos of the conflagration.

As I write this a report flashes up on the television screen — more than $60 million has been donated to the Red Cross, funds that will be

matched by tax dollars. I have just received an email from my teacher friend Patti to let me know that her elementary school has 50 new stu-dents this morning, all of whom are staying at the nearby University of Calgary with their families. “Can take up to 127 stu-dents until we are packed. Lot of changes in timetable, resources etc. Should be interesting. Feels like a good thing to do,” she writes. Yesterday she sent me a similar message of hope. One of her Grade 1 students had spent the weekend running her own lemonade stand to raise money for the Red Cross. She raised $500, which her mom then matched. That donation will be matched by government money, too. “Another good citizen in the making,” I responded.

This is the third enormous disaster Alberta has faced in recent years, preceded by the Slave Lake fire and the floods that roared through Calgary, High River and other communities. There is no need for irony as one considers that this is a hotbed of climate change deniers, and one need only look one province to the east to find another dinosaur premier in charge. And social media have been peppered with cruel and ignorant comments about petro-leum-driven communities like Fort McMurray, as if they, and not the consumers of the stuff — which includes each and every one of us — are to blame.

We are in for some interesting times, as Patti says. But for now we should take some time to thank the countless people who rise to the occasion in any emergency, and acknowledge that none of our com-munities are immune.

To the Editor:We hope most of the residents of the

Creston Valley have now had the opportunity to enjoy the new seats in the Prince Charles Theatre. You can now enjoy a concert without suffering from aching backs, sore seats and numb legs.

The Creston Community Auditorium Society could not have done this with-out the many volunteers who disman-tled old seats and installed new ones. Students helped us with moving seats and unloading the freight truck. Special recognition goes to Tim Vogel, who was the journeyman carpenter on-site. He did this without remuneration, thus sav-ing us a lot of money that we have been able to put toward other theatre proj-ects. It was truly a community effort to raise the necessary funds in two years to replace the old seats.

We would like to thank the local res-idents and businesses for purchasing seats at $250 each, raising over $ 25,000. The Creston and District Credit Union matched the first 100 seats for a contri-bution of another $25,000.

Regional District of Central Kootenay directors were instrumental in topping up our funds to bring our project to completion. Gary Jackman, who has been such a tremendous sup-porter of our theatre in the past, spear-headed the acquisition of funds from a Canadian federal government Community Works grant of over $57,000. We could not have received this grant without the support of direc-tors Larry Binks and Tanya Wall.

School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) also contributed to our project by refinishing the floor at a cost of over $10,000. Maintenance director Larry Brown and maintenance super-visor Bruce MacLean had many meet-ings with our committee and provid-ed carpenters and painters for our theatre project. Maintenance staff responded quickly and efficiently to our requests.

Creston municipal services director Ross Beddoes also provided advice and helped us manage our seating plan.

We greatly appreciate the Prince Charles Secondary School staff for put-ting up with the disruptions. Principal Scott Cobbe and Penny Jackson fielded many requests and helped us with the fine details of purchase, work orders and emergencies. Brooke Douma han-dled the disruption of her classes with aplomb and grace. Physical education instructors were able to work around the old seats while they were in storage.

Annette Smithson was head of our chair campaign and with the help of Brian Lawrence, managed the myriad details and red tape of ordering and purchase of the new seats.

Other committee members who have stuck with us though thick and thin and provided physical and emo-tional support were Jason Smith, Jean Mutch, Pat Smith, Margaret Lavender and Alex Ewashen. Jason, also the auditorium co-ordinator, has recently put in countless hours ordering and installing new sound and light equip-ment.

We appreciate your support for this worthwhile community project.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Thursday May 19, 2016at 7pm

Kitchener Hall

In Zen we have no special truth, no transcendent understanding that no one else has. All we have is our life, and full engagement with it. That is the only truth we have, and it is the same truth that everybody else has. When we enter

Zen practice, we enter our lives as deep-ly as we can, more deeply than we did before we found Zen, because practice heals our lives. In his essay, “Mountains and Rivers Sutra,” 13th century Zen master Eihei Dogen makes it clear that it’s been that way since the beginning, and that the Zen ancestors lost their way when they started setting up a spe-cial Zen understanding and Zen truth.

Even now, people make the same mistake. They set up a Zen master as someone who has a unique understand-ing. They imagine that a Zen teacher has

realized something they haven’t. But to think that way is to deny what the Buddha taught. When Buddha sat under that Bodhi tree and entered enlightenment, he realized that there is only this miniscule point in time and space, and it is unspeakably wise, beau-tiful and healing. There is nothing spe-cial about it. And he taught that every-one has their own amazing miniscule point in time and space. Buddha wasn’t thinking that his experience was special. When he taught, he was trying to describe what he experienced.

When we first read Zen stories, we think they are illogical and that they trans-mit a special truth. But Dogen tells us that they are not illogical. He agrees that they are hard to understand, but there is a way to understand them — not in our usual way of understanding, but in another way that uses language differently. And this other way is transformative.

Dogen also says that we can never come to the end of understanding the Buddha’s teachings. In Zen there is no equivalent to the Apostles’ Creed that dictates what we must believe to be true. Truth in Zen is beyond doctrine. It is beyond our ordinary way of under-standing. But, says Dogen, if we throw

away our ordinary capacity to under-stand and abandon ordinary language, we misunderstand our lives. We misun-derstand Buddha’s teaching. Even though truth is beyond doctrine, Zen students spend a lot of time trying to understand Buddhist teachings. And the study is never over.

Zazen (sitting meditation), which is the heart of Zen practice, is like this. We don’t do zazen once and then not do it again. We don’t say, “I did that yesterday. Why should I do it today?” That would be absurd, because like the teachings, zazen is inexhaustible and endlessly illuminat-ing. We go on with it even if we feel we’ve reached the end. Zen has no final destina-tion, no final truth.

Suggested practice: Take some time to reflect on a spiritual principle that you believe you understand. See if you can look beyond your understanding of that principle and enter a brand new world.

When my boys were young, the popular gift to give was a Lego set. This was in the days when Legos were growing beyond just bricks and were including all sorts of extra bits — peo-ple with heads and hands that could

pull off, swords and guns and stuff. When helping the boys clean up, I would gather the bits, attempting to keep all parts together which resulted in turning the playroom upside down

until I found that tiny sword. I was obsessive about finding the missing part and was extremely satisfied when I achieved success.

When the Pharisees accused Jesus of consorting with sinners, He told several

similar stories in Luke 15. There was the story of the woman who searched her house seeking for one lost coin out of 10 and the shepherd who left the 99 sheep to find the one lost sheep. Both of them had a party when they found what was lost. Now I didn’t throw a party when I found the Lego sword, but I can definitely relate. Apparently, so can God. Jesus said there would be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 righteous who do not

need to repent. My first response is to think, “That’s not fair. Shouldn’t there be constant rejoicing over the 99 who don’t need to repent?” But then I real-ized that I had already found all the

other Lego bits; they were safe and sound, and all my effort was spent searching for the tiny sword. It’s a good thing I am not God.

Jesus told a third story along the same lines. This one is about two broth-ers, the diligent, hard-working elder brother and the scofflaw, shirking younger brother who only wanted some fun in life. The younger brother talks his father into giving him his inheritance early, not so he can invest it in some business venture, but so he can spend it immediately and have a good time while he was still young. As the story goes, he left the farm, blew through the money in no time and ended up on the streets sharing scraps with the animals. He’d been brought to the place of repentance. He had no place to go. He knew his father’s ser-vants were treated well, so he figured if he apologized his father would at least hire him as a worker.

A three-year, $23-million commitment by the Government of B.C. builds on the Guns and Gangs Strategy with the B.C. Anti-Gang Unit, RCMP and Crime Stoppers to support B.C. communities to prevent gang and gun violence. Key elements include:

Flying without wing flapping is a category of being airborne. Turkey vultures do just that and so do hawks and eagles. However, I’ve observed that vultures seem to do a lot more gliding than either of

those. In the open sky they rise higher and higher, slowly circling until they are hardly visible. At that point it is difficult to recognize them as turkey vultures and not eagles, with whom they may be sharing the same warm updraft, except if you can recognize a cou-ple of differences.

Eagles and hawks, for the most part, glide with steady wing posi-tions. Now if a gliding hawk- or eagle-like bird acts a bit tipsy, tilt-ing quickly but only slightly from side to side, you could be watch-ing a turkey vulture — watch those wingtips. However, if the wings form a very shallow V, a more angled position than eagle or hawk wings in glide position, which is basically flat, you can be more sure that what you are watching is a vulture. Perhaps

these details are difficult to pick out when the birds is a way up there. But these features can be detected when they are gliding anywhere. They also “climb” mountain slopes with out a wing

beat, making hikers feel pretty inefficient.

A great place to watch turkey vultures is from the rocky overlook at the end of the Creston Mountain Trail (which is only partway up Creston Mountain). Or you can go to the lookout along the highway to Wynndel and watch for them gliding

along the hillside.I was enjoying my lunch, and a

pleasant breeze, at the end of trail overlook on Creston Mountain. Abruptly, I realized I had compa-ny. A couple of hundred feet below me was a turkey vulture slowly circling over the ground and trees. Without a wingbeat, circling and going back and forth, it climbed the slope. Shortly, it made a drift back and forth just below me, com-ing up to equal level and sailing by me without a sound. Then there was another, and a third, each catching me by surprise, being silent and motionless passersby.

I guess they are called turkey vultures because they have a face resembling a turkey. The head is featherless and down-less. They don’t even have eyelashes. The bald head reduces the risk of hav-

ing an untidy headdress, especial-ly after a meal. Perhaps all this fits the other matter that turkey vul-tures are best at — cleaning up freshly dead animals, carrion, which they can pick up the slight-est whiff of, from 30-50 miles away. On a thermal, when one smells something edible, others join in on the warm air column. I read that a circling group of turkey vultures, in a thermal, is called a “kettle”. My best record, for smelling their choice “dish” — not mine, of course — is from a couple of hun-dred feet. (I don’t like dead cow.)

Turkey vultures don’t appear to be great on their feet. I, for sure, can’t imagine them running around like a sandpiper. They hop about rather clumsily and

when disturbed take off with a great flapping of wings, landing in secluded trees out of sight from my prying eyes. When they exit, if through some trees, there is often snapping as their wings break small dead branches. But after I have left, they return in silence and eat in silence. I think, with the ravens, with which they may share the same dinner spot, they don’t get a chance to “talk”.

Since they are not great at walk-ing, they nest and roost in spots where, with one or two hops, they can be airborne. These locations are often rock cliff ledges, or flat spots on steep inclines that are enclosed by dense brush. The nest may be under a rock or shrubby overhang or in the entrance of small cave

located back from the edge. Turkey vultures come in two

combinations of “colors”. The adults have beautiful charcoal-coloured wings and bodies and bright red heads. The young have grayish-white heads and charcoal wings and feathers, quite con-trasting colours from the adults. Belonging to the cleanup crew, along with jays, crows, ravens and eagles (which will eat live creatures), they perform a very valuable role in the society of birds, animals and plants. And, if you don’t already know, the cleanup crew has arrived!

In the simplest terms, physiotherapy is a means of treating conditions and injuries through physical manipulation and exer-

cise. But that barely scratches the surface of the profession, which is about much more

than that — patients can change their lives through sessions with the physio-therapist.

“I enjoy manual therapy, hands-on treatment, and

follow that up with education,” said Josh Kaufmann, who recently opened Restoration Physiotherapy at 120A 11th Ave. N. “The more you educate a patient, the more you empower them. It’s not something where they get treated and get better.”

He appreciates the social aspect, too. Over the course of several appointments — depending on what the course of treatment requires — practitioner and patient get to know each other quite well.

“If you can’t talk to people, you’re going to have a hard time of it,” said Kaufmann. “At the same time, you’re helping them with something big.”

That means getting patients active again, whether they’re recovering from recent injuries, chronic ailments or sur-geries, the latter one of his particular favourites.

“You see people coming full circle.”Kaufmann also enjoys helping those suf-

fering from chronic back pain.“They’re in dire straights,” he said.

“They can hardly sit, they can hardly move. After a few sessions, they’re ready to go for a walk or go back to water aerobics.”

Entering a health-related profession was a logical step for Kaufmann, whose father is a dentist and mom is a nurse.

“I kind of felt that was my calling.”He attended university, but didn’t find a

focus until he dropped into the physio building, spending a few hours learning what it was all about.

“Before that, I didn’t have any direc-tion,” he said. “I didn’t know what physio-therapy was.”

While studying at the University of Tennessee, Kaufmann met his wife, Jessica, a Canadian. The couple ended up complet-ing grad school at California’s Loma Linda

University, he with doctorate in physiother-apy and she as a dentist.

A native of Jacksonville, Fla. — with a population of over 800,000 — Kaufmann got a taste of a much different lifestyle when he and his wife spent time in her native Wyoming, Ont., a village of about 2,100 (prior to amalgamation with the larg-er Plympton in 2001). They then moved to another small town, Bonners Ferry, Idaho, where he practiced for over four years before they headed north to Creston with their children, aged five and two.

“I got this taste of small-town living,” he said. “Moving to Bonners Ferry was an easy transition — I like the small-town feel.”

Creston’s health community emphasized that, with local physiotherapists popping in to say hi during Kaufmann’s first week of business.

“I was blown away,” he said. “People in general come in and say, ‘Welcome to town.’ ”

The small-town feeling extends to Kaufmann’s treatment style — while physiotherapists in larger centres may work briefly with patients before sending them to an aide or technician to teach them exercises, he does it all himself. That adds to the personal connection, which encourages patients to be proactive with their own recovery.

“People don’t get better from passive treatment,” such as electric stimulation, said Kaufman, who has a certification in applied functional science. “The mindset is getting the patient to play an active role. … When they feel the benefit in the clinic, they’re more inclined to carry on at home.”

For patients who are in pain, getting to a physiotherapist — which doesn’t require a doctor’s referral — sooner rather than later is key to recovery.

“Most people fall into the rapid response category if they get on the ball soon enough.”

And what they learn in the clinic can help them get back on track, and also give them a new outlook for the future.

“People see exercise as a really daunting thing because they don’t know where to start,” said Kaufmann. “It ultimately strengthens the community because people participate in more things when they get feeling good.”

ENTERTODAY!

But his father hadn’t written him off and had every day anxiously watched the road for any sign of his youngest son’s return. One day he was rewarded and was so thankful his son had returned alive and rea-sonably well, he threw a party for everyone in the neighbourhood to celebrate his joy.

When the eldest returned from work that night and found out what was going on, he felt no joy, only resentment. He considered the celebration to be a slap in his face, thinking his father loved his younger brother more than him. He questioned, “How come you’ve never had a party for me, and I’ve been obeying you all these years? How come you are rewarding him for losing all your money and caus-ing you terrible pain? I’ve never done those things and you’ve never treated me special.”

The eldest son didn’t realize the

place he had in his father’s heart and in his house. He shared in his father’s wealth and inheritance; he was equal to his father in status and respectability.

I heard this story as a child and as someone who lived in a forgiv-ing home, I could relate to the younger son to a certain extent — not to the depth of his flagrancy — but I never gave much thought to the elder brother. Now I do… because he is me.

For now, I am safely in the sheep pen, in the widow’s purse, in the Lego bucket. God is searching for the lost ones and needs me to help. I pray to refrain from judging others and considering myself to be less of a sinner than they. I pray I will wel-come my brothers and sisters home with love and joy and celebration as they re-enter the family of God. With repentance and with God’s help, I can.

Woman’s answer to the Man Cave(NC) For years men have taken over basements, garages and even dens to be alone, indulge in hobbies and enjoy décor which lacks female influence. Not to be outdone, the She Shed is the latest trend for women looking to establish a place of their own in the home. These tiny cottages are the perfect retreat for women looking for a little alone time of their own. The beauty of the she shed is it can be whatever you want it to be. It can be a place of relaxation, indulgence or a place of utility to get things done.There are no rules to building a She Shed, it can be as simple or elaborate as you like and you can personalize your space by adding things you love to reflect your personal style. Building supply companies have everything you need to create your dream She Shed. Use the following tips for inspiration.

Start with a great baseIt’s easy to find pre-fabricated sheds to fit any outdoor space and budget. This will create the basic structure of your getaway and the palette for your décor. An example is the La Remise Cabana Shed; it has five-sided versatility, and is easy to install with no cutting required and all the hardware included.DécorMake it your own, let your imagination flow and try things you may be hesitant to do inside your home. Personalize with exterior and interior paint colours, even wallpaper, a great mural or fun prints.Comfortable furnitureDaybeds, outdoor sectionals, loungers and recliners with fluffy pillows create a cozy place to curl up with a good book.

LightingLED lights and chandeliers are easy to install and provide great mood lighting. Task lighting is also important and interior table lamps or floor lamps can be brought in as they are protected from the elements.Surround yourself in natureIt’s about enjoying the outdoors so place your shed in a secluded spot or one with great views. Plant colourful flowers around the She Shed and in window boxes and bring the garden inside as well by decorating with plants and freshly picked flower arrangements.AmenitiesMake sure you have everything you need so that you never have to leave. Build-in storage solutions, cupboards and shelves to house a mini-fridge, wine fridge and even a blender for the summertime drinks.www.newscanada.com

(NC) There’s nothing like colour to bring life back to our outdoor spaces – and doing that with flair starts with imagination.How do you envision the beauty of your property this summer, be it the patio, the deck, your terrace, or the entire backyard? Picturing it and making a plan is an important first step.Bright Begonias: Nothing says summer like brilliant colours and again this year, gardeners are looking to have their outdoor spaces dazzle with different shades and hues. Many have already dubbed 2016 “The Year of the Begonia” as this bright annual is winning fans across both Canada and the United States. It’s not just traditional begonias that people are talking about however. The newest varieties are loaded with colours and bred to enjoy the sun and shade. They’re prefect to liven up any area of your garden. Relax And Let The Plants Do The Work: Have you always wanted to start gardening but just can’t seem to keep your plants alive? Fear not, more and more new gardeners are learning that you don’t have to spend hours a day to impress your backyard guests. Try low maintenance annuals to spice up your planters. Or, if you love to garden but aren’t sure about plant arrangement, try pre-planted garden mixes. It’ll take the guess work out of gardening but still result in planters and baskets that are perfectly colour coordinated. Colour Me Green: Forget the white picket fence; the ever growing trend of backyard colour is moving beyond the garden and into backyard structures. Fences and sheds are trending towards darker colours like navies, blacks and dark forest greens. If you’re planning on doing some outdoor building, or giving the fence a quick coat of paint, think about these colours that are sure to give your outdoor space a modern feel.Food Gardens: Lastly, a trend that’s becoming even more of a “movement” in the past few years is growing your own food. Whether its fresh herbs on the windowsill or planters and gardens filled with new and exciting varieties of exotic berries, growing our own food has never been more on trend. Planting edibles is an exciting opportunity to learn about new and different varieties of fruits and veggies so don’t be afraid to experiment this season. It’s just another exciting step in the world of gardening. Small Spaces, Big Ideas: It’s no secret that urban Canadians are moving into smaller spaces. Downtown condo buildings are on the rise and there’s no room for a backyard when you’re living on the 40th floor. Amazingly, condo dwellers aren’t letting their high-rise spaces prevent them from enjoying beautiful potted plants. Low-maintenance tropical plants and terrace-friendly succulents can make any condo or apartment balcony a delightful place to be.www.newscanada.com

Home decorating tips to improve your mood(NC) A majority of our time is spent at home. While we always want our space to be visually appealing, the look and feel of our interiors can actually affect how we feel and we’re not just talking about dimming the lights to create a more intimate environment. Achieving the perfect vibe in your home can help you feel more focused, calm and relaxed. Here are a few quick ways to stay positive and happy every time you walk in the door.Get the lighting right. Waking up to a dark room makes us want to hibernate under our covers so why not maximize the light that comes through when we can? The new Hunter Douglas PowerView motorized operating system lets you customize the perfect combination of light, privacy and warming, keeping your home perfectly in sync with time of day and your mood.Incorporate soft edges. A Harvard Medical School study found that sharp objects convey a sense of danger which can make people feel negativity towards that object. Rounded furniture can actually encourage more brain activity and strengthen memory and learning abilities. Try softening an angular dining room table with vases and bowls.Embrace greenery. Not only do plants brighten up your space and make it feel more inviting, they also absorb airborne pollutants and negative ions from computers, while emitting oxygen, crucial to staying healthy and

productive. Plants have been shown to reduce stress and improve concentration.Keep it fresh. A simple change in the environment can be enough to improve your mood. Try rearranging furniture that’s been building dust in the same spot for years. Start with one room, and opt for a deep clean, then rethink its functionality to refresh the look.Set the scene. From night time, to wake up, reading, and nap time you can get the perfect light for every scene to feel at one with your environment. Creston Nufloors can help with your window covering designs.www.newscanada.com

EAST KOOTENAY FOUNDATION FOR HEALTH

A gastrointestinal tower has just arrived at the Creston Valley Hospital thanks to generous gifts from two families whose dona-tions are part of a living and will legacy giving plan.

An anonymous donation of $14,286.12 from a living legacy gift was combined with another gift of $14,286.12 from the estate of Eugene John Muszty to pur-chase a GI tower for the hospital.

The GI tower performs a vital role providing microscop-ic capability and leading edge technology in imaging for colo-noscopies and gastroscopies performed in the surgical unit. The two legacy gifts have allowed the Creston hospital to receive new updated technolo-gy and more forward opportu-nities for better scopes in the future.

A legacy gift is a living, active reminder of individu-als and families who care

about their communities and support causes that are impor-tant to them. Through a bequest in a will or other planned giving methods, donors can invest in organiza-tions that make a difference in their lives and communities.

For more information on planned giving opportunities through EKFH for a communi-ty or regional hospital or health care facility, contact executive director Cassandra Schwarz at 1-877-489-6481.

FROM THE LEGION — The Creston branch of the Royal Canadian Legion recently made presentations to Cresteramics and Mormon Hills School students. Cresteramics received a donation of $750 toward its summer youth program, which requires its own funding — Community Living BC funds day programs for adults, but does not fund programs for people under 19. The program, “Unique Teens Working Toward Independence”, has been hosted for the past two summers. Mormon Hills students received certificates and prizes for their winning Remembrance Day poster entries in the East Kootenay zone.

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Crown Mountain Coking Coal Project

Open House and Invitation to Comment

NWP Coal Canada Ltd. (Proponent) is proposing to develop an open pit metallurgical coal mine in the Elk Valley, referred to as the Crown Mountain Coking Coal Project (proposed Project). The proposed Project would be located approximately 12 km northeast of Sparwood, British Columbia, and it is estimated that it would produce 3.7 million run-of-mine tonnes per year. The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act. The Proponent must obtain an Environmental Assessment Certificate (EAC) before work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. Prior to the submission of an Application by the Proponent for an EAC, the Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) must approve the Application Information Requirements for the proposed Project. As part of the Application Information Requirements, Valued Components must be identified, which are environmental, economic, social, heritage, and health components that may experience potential effects as a result of the proposed Project. The Valued Components are outlined in the Valued Components for Environmental Assessment document, which details components to be studied and the areas in which the studies would occur.

Open House

EAO invites the public to attend an Open House about the environmental assessment process, the proposed Project, and the draft Valued Components. An open house will be held: At: Causeway Bay Hotel Emerald Room 102A Red Cedar Drive, Sparwood, BC On: Wednesday, May 25, 2016 From: 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm EAO and the Proponent will be present to provide information and respond to questions about the proposed Project at the Open House. The comment period for the submission of comments by the public in relation to the draft Valued Components document is 30 days. The comment period will begin May 13, 2016 and end June 13, 2016. All comments received during

this comment period in relation to the draft Valued Components document will be considered. The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the proposed Project are identified for consideration as part of the assessment process. At this stage of the process, the primary intent is to receive feedback on studies or information required for a comprehensive assessment. After taking public comments into account, the Valued Components document will be finalized. EAO accepts public comments through the following ways: By Online Form at

http://www.eao.gov.bc.ca

By Mail: Terry Pratt Project Assessment Manager 2nd Floor – 441 Columbia St. Kamloops, BC, V2C 2T3

By Fax: Fax: 250-387-2208

An electronic copy of the draft Valued Components document and information regarding the environmental assessment process are available at www.eao.gov.bc.ca. Copies of the draft Valued Components document are also available for viewing at the following locations: Sparwood Public Library 110 Pine Avenue, Sparwood, BC Fernie Heritage Library 492 Third Avenue, Fernie, BC Cranbrook Public Library 1212 2nd Street North, Cranbrook, BC If you are unable to participate at this time, there will be an additional comment period during the Application Review stage when you will also be able to provide comments to EAO on the proposed Project.

NOTE: All submissions received by the EAO during the comment period in relation to the proposed Project are considered public and will be posted to the EAO website.

BY FRANCES COLLISON

Joanne Peters runs Creston Flats Stables (CFS) and puts on gymkhanas in her huge indoor arena on Indian Road. These events include different kinds of horse racing like pole bending, figure eights, barrel racing and a dash for cash.

I have been to one of the gymkhana events to watch my sister, Erin Collison, on her own horse, Banjo. She is a loving, caring horse who loves attention. I had fun watching all the rid-ers and events.

Peters also holds a variety of horse clinics, as well as cattle sorting. Sometimes in the summer, these events host barbecues as part of the event, with music. This makes them more enjoyable to watch and participate in.

She mainly offers western riding but also English riding at CFS. The stables have been run-ning since 2008. On her 30 acres, she provides lessons for beginners all the way up to profes-sionals, as well as horse boarding. She has an indoor arena (200 feet by 80 feet) for when the weather is bad, but enjoys the open outdoor arena more. It is hard to believe that Peters lives right next to the stables with her horses.

Thirty-five years ago, Peters started her path with horses. She began training in Langford, Victoria and Chilliwack. She also trains with Jim Anderson, a two-time world champion, through the clinics.

Peters likes to start training horses using groundwork. She believes in building up a rela-tionship of respect with the horse on the ground before getting in the saddle. In 2015, Peters won tenth in the world at the Extreme Cowboy Challenge competition in Texas.

The Creston Valley Blossom Festival is com-ing next week, and Peters is putting on an excit-ing event called the Extreme Cowboy Challenge on May 21 and 22. She sets up an obstacle course in the arena and the fastest riders get a chance to win prizes and money. The judges will come from Alberta and anyone can enter.

The CFS near Lower Wynndel Road is a beautiful place to ride horses. There are green grass, straight blue skies and sand filled are-nas. There are large white fences housing her horses, plus the boarding ones. The indoor arena can be rented for private functions too. Horse lovers can enjoy all the many opportu-nities at Creston Flats Stables.

It is a wonderful place to watch many events. For music she has country, pop and rock. I enjoyed watching these events, which include a jackpot for the first, second and third place winners in each division. The jackpot allows riders to win prize money. You have to pay a fee to enter the gymkhana and those who run the fastest times win. Watching these events makes the Creston Flats Stables a better place to be!

For more information on CFS and its upcoming events, visit www.crestonflatsstables.com.

KOOTENAY PERMACULTURE INSTITUTE

The Kootenay Permaculture Institute, in partnership with Selkirk College, is offering the 15th annual permaculture design course in Winlaw June 5-18. The institute was started in 1991 and is celebrating 25 years of permaculture research and education in the Kootenays and across Canada.

This year, a student from the University of Guelph is coming to the farm in the Slocan Valley to study the native pollinators. The intent is to document how agricultural management sys-tems influence native bee popu-lations in terms of abundance, diversity and richness. There is an abundance and diversity of wild pollinators at the permac-ulture farm that are attracted by the diversity of plants growing in a very small area.

The permaculture design course will cover the principles of permaculture design and the different techniques that can be used on your land or in your small urban backyard. The design principles can also be a useful tool in your personal life, in your business or with your local organization. The course includes many hands-on activities at the farm in the Slocan Valley.

The farm where the course is being held was started in 1993 using permaculture principles, and now produces a diversity of perennial vegetables, berries,

fruits and nuts, as well as many medicinal herbs and other use-ful plants.

The participants will work on a permaculture design exer-cise during the course. Some of the topics they cover will include permaculture princi-ples and techniques, site analy-sis, soil fertility, organic gar-dening, edible landscaping, fruit and nut trees, agroforest-ry, microclimate, water uses, forest ecosystems, land restora-tion, ecological building and urban permaculture.

Main instructor Gregoire Lamoureux has been living in the West Kootenay for over 25 years and is one of the most experi-enced permaculture teachers in Canada. His knowledge and experience with local plants, including edible plants that are well adapted to the climate of the region, will guide the partici-pants in their choices of plants for their project. Lamoureux has been the coordinator and pro-gram manager for the Slocan River Riparian Restoration Program with the Slocan River Streamkeepers for over 12 years. Recently, he has been involved with wetland restoration and is on both the executive and the steering committee for the Slocan Wetland Assessment and Monitoring Project (SWAMP).

Guest speakers will include:•Richard Walker, who has

over 40 years of experience as a farmer, herbalist and food forest-er. For over 20 years, he trans-formed a degraded three-acre

property into a beautiful, highly diverse and productive food for-est in Grand Forks. He has helped initiate a number of small- and large-scale food forests spanning diverse climatic zones in Canada. He is the author of the recently published Food Forestry North of the 49th; and

•Shanoon Bennett is an environmental educator and founder of Huckleberry Adventures, a program dedi-cated to instilling appreciation for the wonders found in the wilds of our backyards. It is offered regularly in many local schools. She is also an avid

wildcrafter and loves to share her knowledge, passion and experience of the botanical treasures found from valley bottom to mountaintop.

BY WILL JOHNSONNelson Star

The Salmo Public Library is nearing the end of a $250,000 renovation made possible by fundraising and grants — local taxpayers won’t have to pay a red cent.

“That really shows the com-mitment this community has and how they’ve stood behind this project. That’s what kept us going,” said library director Taylor Caron. “We’ve doubled in size. We’re completely accessible now. It’s much brighter, lighter

— and this is going with the changes where it’s not just about books anymore.”

What is it about, then?“It’s about creating a beautiful

space, a community hub where we can provide access to the Internet and offer top-quality program-ming. We’re stepping into the future of what libraries are.”

She said libraries across North America are going through this shift, and she noted Halifax, Nelson, Creston and Kaslo have all invested in upgrades.

“We’re not a thing of the past anymore.”

One quirk of the new space, formerly a new and used clothing store next door, is a bank vault that was too heavy to move anywhere, so they’ve transformed it into a “history vault” in partnership with the Salmo Valley Local History Interest Group. It’s not far from a semi-private youth space, where kids can play on the computer, lis-ten to music and chill.

“Our children’s area is also much bigger, because we’ve got a lot of babies and kids in this com-munity,” said Caron. “We figure hook, line and sinker — if you can get a young kid in here and

provide for them throughout the years, then you’ve got a library user for life. ...

“Throughout everything this place has been run by volunteers. They’re the ones working behind the counter, who really give peo-ple a sense that this is a commu-nity space. That hasn’t changed.”

And she’s thrilled they have more room.

“The staff may be the same, but what’s shifted is a lot of peo-ple who didn’t access the library before will be able to now, and they’ll see it’s more welcoming and all-inclusive.”

Salmo library doubles space with renovation“We’re stepping into the future of what libraries are.”Taylor CaronSalmo library director

BY TOM FLETCHERBlack Press

A first offence for checking your phone while driving will cost B.C. drivers $543 when new penalties take effect June 1.

The fine for distract-ed driving goes up from $167 to $368, and driv-ers will also be assessed four penalty points, triggering another $175 charge. The combina-tion results in a total penalty of $888 for a second offence within a year of the first.

Public Safety Minister Mike Morris said the new penalties put B.C. near the top of distracted driving fines for Canadian provinces. Two tickets in a year will also trigger an automatic review by the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles that could result in licence suspension.

Public consultation over the past year found support for a tougher approach.

“A lot of the input that we had indicated even higher penalties than that,” Morris said.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone said the public awareness campaigns have not convinced enough people of the dangers of trying to use mobile phones or other devices without hands-free services.

“Imagine trying to drive the length of a foot-ball field while you’re blindfolded,” Stone said.

Central Saanich Police Chief Les Sylven, pres-ident of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police, reminded drivers that being at a stop light or stuck in a traffic jam does not mean the distract-ed driving penalties don’t apply.

NDP public safety critic Mike Farnworth said the government didn’t need to take a year to increase one of the lowest distracted driving penalty systems in the country, and giving the superintendent discretion over multiple repeat offenders doesn't send a clear enough message.

“Frankly, I think that if you get more than

three in the course of the year, there should be no ‘may’ about it — you will lose your licence,” Farnworth said.

Distracted and inattentive driving was a fac-tor in the deaths of 66 people and injuries to 630 in B.C. in 2014.
