With the annual Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) fundraising banquet just over two weeks away, tickets are already getting scarce — less than three dozen remain out of 250.

The popular event pulls in about $24,000 each year, with live and silent auctions creating a fun atmosphere for guests, who attend to socialize and enjoy a buffet dinner, which includes hors d’oeuvres, prime rib and local wines. It’s a lot to fit into a short period, but this year’s auctions have been streamlined a bit.

“There’s going to be a little more time for people to enjoy themselves,” said Creston DUC committee member Lou Knafla.

All proceeds from the Creston banquet and auction, as well as other DUC events, are invested in prioritized provincial and regional wetland conservation and restoration projects, including the Creston Wildlife Management Area (CVWMA), and $73,000 has been spent in the past year alone.

Since 2006 — and in collaboration with the province, Columbia Basin Trust, Habitat Conservation Habitat Trust Foundation, Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program, Wildlife Canada and others — DUC and the CVWMA have upgraded 14 water control structures, removed seven redundant structures and repaired close to 10 kilometres of dikes — for a total amount exceeding $1 million.

Faced with angry developers and a looming election, Creston town council has deferred making changes to the development cost charge bylaw to 2015, when it will become part of Official Community Plan discussions.

From page 1Before the Sept. 9 meeting was

opened to presentations from delega-tions, town engineering manager Colin Farynowski provided council with an outline of consultation meet-ings that have been held over the past two years.

“This proposed bylaw has me con-cerned for future development,” Terry Rendek of Atlin Property Development Corporation told council.

He said that a $1 million ware-house construction, for example, would have a negligible impact on existing services, and would increase town property tax revenues, but that higher DCCs would make it economi-cally unviable when compared to other communities.

“I appreciate the town has held meetings for developers and we didn’t do a great job of attending, but we also have businesses to run,” he said. “We were waiting to see a fin-ished product and now, with very short notice, we are seeing it close to being enacted.”

Rendek said the proposed DCCs would be higher than in all similar size communities in B.C. except Comox and Fernie, “both of which have very different challenges” when it comes to infrastructure.

Norm Mailhot, one of the principles in the Hawkview Estates develop-ment, provided council with an out-line of how much his group had paid to develop the land, DCC costs to date and how much property tax revenue the existing properties are generating. He said consultation on a new DCC bylaw has been inadequate and that increased charges threatened the via-bility of future development.

Bill Hutchinson, who was a longtime town manager, represented the Wigen family, which is currently developing land on Devon Street.

“It comes with some shock that council would undertake a public

input process for something as signifi-cant as a new DCC bylaw at this time of year and at this time in the electoral calendar,” he said. “First of all, the developers which I have been involved with are busy trying to sell some of their extensive inventory and/or trying to obtain municipal/provincial approval to start selling some inventory and not miss the posi-tive economic blip which we find ourselves in at this time. Secondly, the introduction of new DCC’s 300 per cent increase may well become an election issue.”

Hutchinson said properties that are developed but remain unsold still gen-erate revenue for the town.

“One developer who has just placed 19 lots on the market paid $3,000 per lot in DCCs and was con-sidering applying for tax relief for taxes on these 19 lots as none are sold and we are heading into fall and a new tax year,” he said. “These lots will generate $20,000 per year of tax revenue to the taxing jurisdictions with no impact to the infrastructure as long as they remain unsold. If the DCC rate is tripled, you can be assured the next phase will not be developed in the near future.”

He also had a recommendation.“At the very least, council should

consider increasing the municipal [assist] factor to 50 per cent and phasing in the bylaw over the next six years, an acceptable alternative.”

The phases he recommended includ-ed DCCs of $3,000 in 2015, $5,000 in 2017, $7,000 in 2019 and $9,000 in 2021.

When the regular meeting resumed, Coun. Wesly Graham asked the devel-opers in the audience, “How do we get you to show up to public input meetings? How do we get people engaged before it gets to a drop dead date?”

“We are here based on the final product,” Rendek replied. “I’m not sure how our other ideas would have been accepted. But we have to be heard, just like the other ratepayers. DCCs have to be considered from a

development side, not just from a bureaucratic side.”

Coun. Scott Veitch said that the bylaw could have been introduced last spring, but council objected.

“Until recently this (bylaw) would have been a fait accompli, but a cou-ple of councillors slowed it down so we could hear from developers,” he said.

Coun. Judy Gadicke asked town manager Lou Varela if staff had any opposition to inviting “a little bit more consultation.”

“DCCs are important discussions to developers and the general public,” Varela said. “We are starting into an OCP and DCCs usually go hand-in-hand with OCPs. It seems very reason-able to refer discussion to the OCP pro-cess if council desires.”

Council voted unanimously to refer development cost charges to the OCP process in 2015.

Council Briefs•A request from the new owner of

Creston Cab Co. to be included in a Taxi Saver program under BC Transit was referred to the Creston Valley Services Committee, because the public transit system is funded by the town and Regional District of Central Kootenay Areas B and C. A Taxi Saver program allows riders to purchase subsidized taxi rides as an alternative to the exist-ing HandyDart service.

•Budgeted funds for the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Authority have been released, finance director Steffan Klassen said. Council voted to accept an invitation to tour the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area lands by head of operations Marc-André Beaucher.

•A request by a Cranbrook auto deal-ership to hold a sale in town was denied because it contravenes existing bylaws, which are already in the process of being revisited.

•Council approved a request to allow Hawkview Estates Ltd. to install two community identification signs at the two entrances to the development.

New Harvest Share co-ordinator Clayton Fenrick said on Monday that the annual drive to spread the Creston Valley’s fruit and vegetable wealth is going well.

“It’s crazy what grows in the Creston Valley,” he said. “We’ve had all kinds of fresh food to pick and distribute.”

Fenrick took over the program in July, replacing longtime co-ordinator Alexandra Dansereau, who is further-ing her education. The Prince Charles Secondary School grad returned to Creston after taking a two-year business program and spending a year working on Vancouver Island.

“Since I started I’ve been getting everything organized, picking dona-tions of cherries, pears, plums and get-ting to know the agencies involved.”

Harvest Share is operated by Creston Valley Food Action Coalition and was started to help ensure back-yard fruit trees didn’t go unpicked. Volunteers harvest the fruit in return for a third of the fruit, a third goes to the property owner and the remainder is distributed to Gleaners, social pro-grams, the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors and churches. It’s a win-win program that puts backyard bounty to good use and reduces bear attractants.

Fenrick has been a familiar sight at the Creston Valley Farmers’ Market, where he spreads the word about Harvest Share, inviting volunteers to sign up for the harvest efforts.

“In a perfect world, Harvest Share wouldn’t be necessary,” he said. “All the

food we grow would be put to good use and no one would be hungry.”

He said one of the many Harvest Share benefits is “making donors feel like they are part of the community” by ensuring excess fruit is used for people who might struggle to put food on the table.

Among the challenges that Fenrick copes with is trying to get freshly picked fruit into the hands of people who need it.

“We picked about 2,000 pounds of pears in a two-day period recently, which is a lot of fruit to deal with in a short time,” he admitted.

But temporary storage provided by the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce and St. Stephen’s Presbyterian Church helped keep the pears in good shape until they could be distributed.

Harvest Share has spread to include more than backyard fruit trees over the years. Some commercial orchards donate fruit and farmers invite volun-teers to harvest vegetables, too.

While some of the produce is distrib-uted for immediate consumption, some organizations make pies and dry or can the fruit for later use. Some is used for school lunch programs.

“It’s great how well the program is supported,” Fenrick said.

To volunteer or donate to Harvest Share, contact Clayton Fenrick at 250-254-1165 or [email protected].

From page 1With work in the Corn Creek and Leach

Lake units nearly complete, the next major project will address infrastructure in the Six Mile Slough unit, west of Duck Lake.

This year’s event will again be MCed by Tanya Wall, but guests will notice a difference — many more local products, including two paintings by Eileen Hirota, in the auctions.

“Usually it’s really dominated by the stuff we get from the Ducks organization, and this year, we have more local items, including gift certificates from local businesses,” said Knafla.

Local businesses, Knafla said, have been incredibly supportive, knowing that the money raised will stay in the community and go to a good cause.

“People know where the money goes, and they have no qualms whatsoever about giving a donation to the wildlife centre,” said Knafla.

Tickets are $45 for adults and $15 for children 17 and under (children’s tables will include activi-ties), available by calling Gertie Brown at 250-428-7581. Tickets purchased before Sept. 20 are eligible for an early bird draw.

Creston RCMP responded to 72 calls from Sept. 8-14, Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan said on Monday.

September 8•One of two brothers in their 80s chose to

move out of their Canyon-Lister Road residence when police were called to break up a fight between them.

•A bike found on Seventh Avenue South was returned to its owner when he called to report it missing.

•A female reported that she lost a diamond ring while playing the piano in the Canyon Street Walkthrough.

•Police are investigating an alleged fraud on 19th Avenue North.

•The driver of a vehicle pulling a trailer turned too sharply in a Northwest Boulevard parking lot, damaging an older brown quarter-ton pickup. The owner of the brown pickup got into the truck and drove off before he could be told about the damage to his rear bumper. He can get information about the other driver, who reported the incident, from the RCMP.

•A Highway 3 resident reported smelling marijuana but police were unable to verify a source.

•A objectionable message was spray-painted on a vehicle parked at a Highway 3 residence. A person dressed all in black was seen leaving the area at about the same time.

Prairie, Alta., who was receiving harassing text messages was referred to Alberta RCMP, where the messages originated.

•Police assisted a Prince Rupert RCMP investigation by attending a Fifth Avenue North residence.

•A vehicle on Pine Street was struck by a baseball that was hit from a playing field. The players voluntarily moved to a different part of the field to avoid a repeat incident.

CRESTON MUSEUM

Once again, the Creston Museum is gear-ing up for its annual quilt show and sale.

On Sept. 20, dozens of quilts will be on display at the museum. It has over 20 antique quilts in its collec-tion, and local quilters are starting to bring in their own creations for display.

This is the one day of the year that museum is com-pletely upholstered in quilts and quilted items. The record is about 200 quilts on display in, around and over the regular exhibits. The entire museum becomes one big patchwork piece, bringing together every colour, texture and style, both new and old.

The museum’s quilt show grew out of the Creston Valley Quilt Festival. When the festival started, the museum par-ticipated with an antique quilt show.But, a few years later, when the festival shut

down, the museum began showing all sorts of quilts, old and new. Since then, it has also added an opportu-nity for people to purchase one of these works of art for themselves.

Local quilters and quilt owners are invited to loan their quilts to the muse-um for the day. Any quilt, of any size, and all quilted items are welcome.

The show runs 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sept. 20, and admission is by donation.

For more information, contact the museum at 250-428-9262 or [email protected].

Becky Blair says she first heard of a proposed settle-ment of the teachers’ strike at 6:10 on Tuesday morning.

“When I put my feet on the floor at 10 after 6 I looked at my email and learned we have a tentative agreement,” she said on Tuesday. “I yelled at my husband, ‘It’s done!’ ”

The president of the Creston Valley School Teachers’ Association said teachers are ready to get back to their classrooms and students as soon as the deal is inked.

“We know nothing about the details yet,” she said.

Once the bargaining teams have ironed out the wording the BC Teachers’ Federation executive must approve it and put it to a membership vote.

“We have already sched-uled a meeting to go over the details with our teachers on Wednesday (yesterday) and I assume a vote will be held on Thursday (today),” she said.

“We were ready to go back to work last Wednesday,” she said, referring to a Sept. 10 99.4 per cent yes vote by teach-ers to settle the dispute with binding arbitration, a propos-al that was rejected by the government.

Blair said it will take a day or two as teachers have to organize their classrooms. High school teachers don’t even have their teaching assignments in hand yet. There will be some upheaval as newcomers register their children and class structures are organized.

Creston Valley schools have an advantage in that teachers did not picket schools over the summer, allowing CUPE workers to continue with maintenance schedules.

“Our schools are ready to go.”

Pickets will remain in place until the vote, but Blair doesn’t expect that teachers would vote down a negotiated settlement.

“To her credit, Christy (Premier Clark) said she want-ed a negotiated settlement and she didn’t waver from that,” Blair said. “We trust our bar-gaining team as a whole and our members will be thrilled to be back in the classroom, as will students and parents.”

Last week I attended a daylong workshop on climate resilience orga-nized by Columbia Basin Trust’s Communities Adapting to Climate Change Initiative. It was an interest-ing day, and not only because of the convincing information we were given.

On the surface, local data about climate change doesn’t seem that convinc-ing. Creston is one of a handful of B.C. communi-ties that has reliable weath-er data for more than a century, and the average temperature has only increased by about two degrees. Step outside and odds are you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference in a two-degree swing in temperature.

But the cumulative effects appear to be significant. We also saw data indicating a more dra-matic increase in “sudden” weath-er events, notably huge downpours of rain in a very short time. These 100-year storms, as they were once referred to, are now occurring each 20 years or less. Ten-year or 20-year events of the past might be annual now.

So how does that affect us local-ly? Well, for one it means that gov-ernments have to revisit their infrastructure plans. Storm sewer systems that worked until recently — except for those 100-year storms — now might be more regularly found to be incapable of handling heavy downpours. We have seen more and more rainfalls in recent years at our home where the top of the paved area of 16th Avenue North becomes a river that drags gravel down from the unpaved road further up. The water literally flows right overtop the storm

sewer grates. Of course when the system can’t absorb the heavy rain-fall, properties are flooded and the damage can be significant.

Changes in the way snow packs at higher elevations form were also

noted. An increase in freeze-thaw cycles creates more instability in the snowpack, increasing the likelihood of avalanches, as top layers tend to slide off lower ones.

There are many downsides to cli-mate change, of course. But I was pleased to hear the facilitators tell us that our group was unique among communities where this workshop was previously held. Our focus, on the whole, was positive. We saw our abundance of water availability, especially for agriculture, as a plus. We certainly have the potential to store water in the spring so that it will be ready for use in the drier summer months.

It is really our agriculture that sets us apart. With a large part of our Creston Valley capable of pro-ducing food products, we have options that other communities sim-ply don’t. And no doubt our 17,000 acres of wetlands is another of our strengths.

Late in our session, I sat at a table whose assignment was to dis-cuss agriculture and we were lucky to have the Town of Creston’s new planner, Jamai Schile, working here

on a contract to oversee a new Official Community Plan, contribut-ing with us. She is extremely knowledgeable about agricultural issues and how they relate to com-munity planning, having written

her master’s thesis on a related topic.

Listening to her contri-butions, I began to fanta-size about how great it would be to have a Creston Valley planner who could work with the greater com-munity to envision a future that adapts to changes in not only climate, but popu-lation and land use. And I

couldn’t help but wonder if it wouldn’t make sense to do an agri-cultural land use study that identi-fies and maps the best potential use of each piece of agricultural land in the valley. What a great tool that could be for landowners who are unaware of what opportu-nities their land might hold! Instead of doing the same old same old, or nothing at all, such a map-ping tool could encourage people to look at land from an entirely dif-ferent perspective. It could be of great value to aging owners who are looking to sell, allowing them to promote their land not just on its traditional use, but its potential.

We have some interesting options as we look forward. If we get caught up in gloom and doom mode, that’s exactly what we will get. But if we can see that new opportunities will also be possible, we can get to work sooner rather than later. Working toward some-thing is always better than sitting back and waiting for something to happen.

The COVERAGE you needPROTECTION you can trust!To the Editor:

I am a parent of two students, a tax-payer and a teacher with 24 years’ experience, and it is time I wrote and publicly weighed in on the conversa-tion regarding Teacher’s Contract nego-tiations with the BC Public School Employers’ Association.

So what is this sticking point of class size and composition? I feel the BC Teachers’ Federation has not done a great job at explaining what this means to the public, especially people who are paying taxes and don’t have school age children of their own. Class size goes hand in hand with composi-tion. Thirty motivated, capable stu-dents in an intermediate class can be a great situation. They can focus for a period of time, ask questions and get the help they need. But a class like this rarely happens. Students are arriving at schools with more and more special needs. Do parents, grandparents and the general public even know what the different issues are that are happening in classrooms? Among them are ADHD (attention deficit), OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), FASD (fetal alcohol syn-drome disorder), autism, mild intellec-tual disabilities, moderate intellectual disabilities and physical disabilities. The policy of inclusion of all students in a classroom is an important one, and it is a win-win for all involved IF there is enough support. Otherwise it is just lip service and not a positive experience for anyone.

I have spent entire school days with child care workers, social work-ers, mental health care professionals and parole officers. I am supposed to be teaching algebra or how to write a five-paragraph essay, not dealing with all of this! My professional development days are increasingly about these issues. We feed students breakfast, healthy snacks and lunch-es. Most of my own children’s clothes that they have outgrown are given to students. Our job has changed so much over the years — it’s still all about the students, but not what it used to be.

Teachers are getting classes with more challenging students and bigger numbers. I can handle the various learning differences most of the time, but with some students with severe behaviour (documented history of vio-lence or impulse control issues) a class’s learning environment can be destroyed. If this is a high school class, it is one hour and 20 minutes of your day, then the group moves on to a new class, and it isn’t that bad. But if it is an elementary class, these students are together all day daily. You are dealing with this group constantly for a whole year. The Learning Improvement Fund (LIF) is meant to get help for these

classes overcrowded with issues. But you have to apply, get rejected, apply (or beg) again, get some help (never enough) but by then it’s November or December.

If one per cent of the 30,000 classes in B.C. are in this situation, that is 300 classes times 30 students: 9,000 stu-dents and 300 teachers. Do those 9,000 students not count? Do those 300 teachers deserve a year of hell trying to meet those needs, and beat themselves up each night knowing they couldn’t?

This is what class size and composi-tion are about. I do not blame the stu-dents; they were put in that configura-tion because there was no contract pre-venting it. LIF money is the govern-ment acknowledging some classrooms are unworkable and offering a Band-Aid. Class size and composition lan-guage are a prevention.

To those many people who honk, wave or even drop off coffee and donuts, thank you so much. The sup-port is greatly appreciated. To those few who boo (or worse) the picketing teachers and CUPE workers, please pull in and join us in a discussion of the situation.

To the Editor:A couple of weeks ago, Education

Minister Peter Fassbender announced that Premier Christy Clark had put him completely in charge of negotia-tions with B.C. schoolteachers. A few days later, Clark announced the gov-ernment can only negotiate with the teachers when they go back to work. Whatever happened to the Fassbender being in charge?

And since, as is usual with employ-er-employee contract negotiations, the union goes out on strike only when the employer won’t negotiate reasonably while they are working, Christy has presented the teachers with a real lose-lose Hobson’s choice.

The premier has also declined the teachers’ offer to submit to binding arbitration. Of course she did, because, as a right wing government, she does not want to lose control of anything, even to the judiciary that found she could not exclude class size and other working conditions from being negotiated. Perhaps she does not realize that smaller classes mean more teachers, the job creation she has been touting.

Christy tells us the teachers are asking for twice what other unions are getting but much of what the teachers are asking for is improve-ments to the public education system and that benefits the future of Canada. For their own benefit they

are asking for eight per cent over five years. That is 1.6 per cent per year. With inflation running over two per cent, the teachers will be losing pur-chasing power and I have to ask: Are the other unions losing purchasing power faster than the teachers?

When I bought my first house in 1962 it was a renovated duplex in the Kitsilano area. It cost $17,500 and the real estate agent advised us that the payments should be less than 25 per cent of after-tax income. I hear that homeowners are now paying 60-70 per cent of their monthly income for a similar home and the purchase price is close to $1 million. And Christy Clark doesn’t want wages to keep up with the inflation rate? Sorry, Christy, that is an express train ride to excessive debt, bankruptcies and a collapsing market economy.

If the wage earners, who are the market, are not paid enough to meet the prices set by the one per cent with-out overloading themselves with debt, then the economic activities generally set in motion as a function of supply and demand cannot get started. The wage earners must be paid enough to meet the prices set by the suppliers for the cycle of supply and demand and employment to work, and that wage should be the goal of union/company negotiations.

To the Editor:(Re: “Ground broken on housing proj-

ect”, Aug. 14 Advance)Maybe someone can help me with

the math. The Advance listed $400,000 from B.C. and Canada, $400,000 from the Columbia Basin Trust, $400,000 in long-term financing, $26,000 equity, and $100,000 in grants or project sav-ings. If the $100,000 is project savings, the total cost is $1,126,000 or an aver-age of $187,700 per unit. If the $100,000 is grants, the total cost is $1,326,000 or an average of $221,000 per unit. How is this “affordable housing”?

There are approximately 50 resi-dential units for sale within Creston right now on the multiple listing ser-vice website for less than $200,000, some a lot less than $200,000. Yes, some are pretty rough, but not most. Admittedly it was 2009, but I pur-chased a nice condo on Hillside Street for $100,000 plus closing costs. It would seem that, by purchasing existing housing, more units could have been obtained for the same money. Or the same number of units for less money.

So what is wrong with my math?Peter Bulkowski

Autumn has always been a time of change, a bit more noticeable to me, than spring, as the move to green is less noticeable than the often quick change to the fall reds and yellows. Often, we are doing our annual fall trips to visit kids (and now grandkids) in Alberta so the changes can be that much more dramatic as we leave our little paradise and head to the frozen prairies. We made a loop through Alberta early September and after driving for miles beside swathed fields of canola, it solidi-fied what time of year it was. Back home a few days later, the fickleness of Mother Nature was also demonstrated by the sight on TV of many of those crops under a blanket of snow.

I did notice a tie-in back to our facility at a truck stop outside of Hanna, Alta., where we stopped for a java refueling and behind the cash register was a sign that stated showers were $12 plus a deposit. My first thought was, ‘What are you doing with a shower that it requires a deposit?’ but I was reminded of a conversation at our front desk during the sum-mer where a couple young ladies were not impressed with our $3 charge for a shower and they left, presumably for Goat River or the lake. Depending on other bookings and avail-ability, we do offer showers year-round (not just fruit picking season) and as an example, this last three months we saw about 215 guests come in for cleansing. The bit of revenue we obtain helps to cover water, heat and custodi-al, among other items, but it also provides a service to those campers, pickers and cyclists that form part of our community, if only for a short while.

I was also reminded of our trip to Haida Gwaii this summer where we stayed at a RV park where we were actually forewarned about the length of the coin-operated shower. (I won’t say where but it starts with M and rhymes with asset.) I dutifully plugged in my loonie and started counting one thousand-one, one thousand-two until it clicked off at 42 sec-onds. Crap. It took me 20 seconds to get the right temperature but nevertheless I dutifully lathered up, plugged in a second loonie and got fully rinsed before the next 42 seconds ran out. I actually felt like raising my arms in the air like a cowboy at a calf roping event in cel-ebration of a beating a certain time.

Actually, if we all took showers like that, or maybe three loonies’ worth if you have long hair, we might have less water shortages. I however, am a realist, as well, having raised teenage boys (which are the single biggest con-tributors to draining a hot water tank in a household), so I don’t think $3 for an untimed shower at the complex is excessive.

On the home front, we have pretty much wrapped up the upstairs renovation at the Rotacrest Hall as mentioned in the Sept. 11 Advance and are now heading downstairs to do the same. You won’t recognize the place; new paint, flooring, renovated bathrooms and lighting are a few of the changes, so if you are looking for a smaller venue for a wedding or party, you really need to have a look as you check out options around the val-ley — you’ll be impressed! No showers though…

Neil Ostafichuk is the recreation supervisor at the Creston and District Community Complex.

On Sept. 2, I was reading my Facebook news feed, keeping up with the daily posts from many of those whom I represent. Several posts were from parents talking about how that day was sup-posed to be the first day of school for their chil-dren. One parent posted the photo that should have been the annual memory for heading back to class. Her daughter was wearing her backpack, new school clothes and a big smile. The only thing missing was a classroom to step into.

The next day, the headlines in most of B.C.’s local and provincial news focused on parents tak-ing action to support teachers. In Maple Ridge, parents wanted to speak with their MLA, but were locked out of the office. Similar scenes took place across the province at Liberal MLA offices. Meanwhile, the premier posted four tweets and one Facebook message about the dispute before taking to the mike to deliver unfactual details about the bargaining process. After that, she was absent again, offering nothing to the 500,000 kids who are missing out on their education.

Such absence is ridiculous and irresponsible. The minister of education has shown that he can-not be trusted at the bargaining table, failing to respect the basic premises of fair bargaining and the agreed-upon rules to hammer out a deal. Meanwhile, the premier and her Liberal MLAs are MIA. The public deserves more than this.

Our kids deserve classrooms with the resources they need to succeed. Two months ago, I wrote in the about how kids are missing out because teach-ers are overstretched and under-resourced in class-rooms with too many kids, more of whom require special attention that they just can’t get.

See TEACHERS, page 13

What do the Breastfeeding Mamas, Creston Valley Hospice Society, Creston Valley Cruisers, Erickson History Group and Teen Action Committee have in common?

Creative minds might come up with more entertaining solutions, but the most straightforward answer is: Each of these groups — along with countless other local community clubs and organizations — make use of the library’s meeting room on a regular basis.

Every one of these clubs and organizations contribute to the community in unique ways. Take the Creston Valley Embroidery Guild, for instance. Besides provid-ing an opportunity for amateur embroidery aficionados to get together and practice their craft, they also design and produce Totes for Cancer — handmade bags dis-tributed free of charge to any woman diagnosed with cancer in the Creston area as a practical ges-ture of support and understanding. Since 2005, over 80 of these bags have been given away. You can view their most recent designs in the display case in the library.

Community clubs like the embroidery guild use the library’s meeting on a “by donation” basis. In

recognition of this, the club will host a fundraising tea on Nov. 15, with all proceeds going to the library. Last year’s event raised over $500 to help support library programming and

services. Come by and enjoy some tea and homemade goodies with these wonderful ladies of our community!

In addition to our meeting room, the library also provides office space to a number of local organizations. The Teen Action

Committee and Creston Valley Early Years both make their home in the library. Tutors with the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy make frequent use of our office for literacy instruction. Partnering with local organizations in this way saves money for our community and makes more effi-cient use of scarce public resources.

The library works in partnership with community agencies in other ways as well. On Oct. 4, for exam-ple, Creston will host the first annu-al “baby picnic”, a joint production of the library, Interior Health, Family Place and Dots to Tots. The event will provide parents and babies an opportunity to come together in a fun, informal setting and learn about all of the commu-nity resources and services avail-able to them. The event will take place 10 a.m.-1 p.m. Oct. 4 in the Creston Education Centre gym.

The library’s pear trees, current-ly laden with ripe, organic fruit, are another example of community partnerships in action. The trees

were pruned in the spring by students of College of the Rockies horticultural program as a train-ing exercise under the direction of Dave Mutch. The resulting bounty will be picked by Harvest Share volunteers and given to the food bank for local citizens in need. It is small things like this that make Creston so unique, and that will pro-vide the basis for our future growth and success as a community.

In addition to our many local partners, the library also works closely with regional and pro-vincial agencies such as the Kootenay Library Federation, BC Libraries Cooperative, British Columbia Library Association, and the Libraries and Literacy Branch of the provincial govern-ment. By taking advantage of economies of scale, we are able to offer services and programs far beyond what we could by relying local resources and capabilities alone.

With the ever-increasing financial pressure on families, businesses and non-profit organiza-tions alike, it is imperative that we work together to ensure that every dollar of public funds is put to best possible use. Have some ideas on poten-tial partnership opportunities? Email, phone or drop by to talk to me in person. I would love to hear from you!

“Working together to make a difference.”

—Krafty Kronysmission statement

In 2006, Patt Robicheau and several ladies began with a yard sale to help Therapeutic Activation for Seniors (TAPS) as it was no longer funded as it had been previously. This turned into

the Krafty Kronys volunteer group, and so began our journey; time went on and many others joined our group. I started with the group at its first annual gen-eral meeting in January 2007 as their secretary and facilitator, and I am now retired.

In time we became a well-oiled group with a big job to do. This valley has a lot of talent to draw from. We sewed, knitted, quilted, crocheted and made pies, held “crafty” fairs and lun-cheons. It has been a privilege to work with so many fine artists — yes, artists — who create many fine articles. This is giving back to the community at its best.

Unfortunately, we lost our leader, Patt, last year. It was quite a shock to us all. She was the foundation of our organization. This left us with much to do and it took us a while to recover. We pulled up our socks and the jour-ney continued. Without our lead-er to direct the group, we all pulled together to make the fall craft fair happen as usual.

As we had our workshop at Patt’s home, we had to find anoth-er facility to work in and store our extensive supplies. Fortunately for us, the room at the Alex Nilsson Centre became available. Managed by Valley Community Services (formerly the Creston and District Community Resource Centre), they let us share a room. Patt’s husband, Jim, gave us all of Patt’s craft and sewing collection. Then the move was on, and it seemed like the packing took forever. I think we know why we don’t move ourselves too often with all the work involved. But we had a home again!

Then real work started by sorting everything to see what to keep and what we had to sell, as we don’t have the room to store and work, as well. So now we had to prepare all the goods for measuring, pricing and boxing. We planned a special sale on May 3; it was well received and generated more money for the pot. We made extra pies for the sale, for what is a sale without

Krafty Kronys pies? Overwaitea Foods supplied us with new bags to put the pies in.

Without the business commu-nity to help, many volunteer groups would not be so effective. In addition, much of the supplies that we worked with have been donated over the years. Thank you to all the individuals, busi-nesses and other volunteer groups that help make Creston a better place to live a happy life.

As of today, the saga contin-ues as TAPS, Cornerstone and the Krafty Kronys will be mov-ing from the Nilsson building. TAPS will be moving into the basement of the renovated Rotacrest Hall and the Krafty Kronys will need to find a new home. A new home that is free, if possible, would be ideal, as it is a challenge for our volunteer group to meet our mission of all our efforts to fundraise for TAPS. If someone knows of possible spaces or has ideas of how we can do this, please let us know through TAPS at 250-428-5585.

Krafty Kronys took this sum-mer off to re-energize for the fall craft fair. Pies continue to be avail-able at TAPS and we appreciate all the donations of local fruit.

TAPS will be holding a tea on Nov. 1 with a silent auction of valuable teacups and saucers, as well as repurposed cups and sau-cers. The Krafty Kronys also will have the fall craft fair, with ven-

dors as usual. Watch for the post-ers about town.

We welcome new members. Would you consider being a Krafty Krony, sharing your vari-ous skills, help with leadership?

Contact TAPS and come visit with us and see what we’re up to. You will be surprised!

I am no longer an active mem-ber, but I will help when needed.

“I used to sing solo — so low no one could hear me!” quipped a gentleman behind me at the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors weekly band/choir session this past week. There were two of them in the back row that started delivering one-lin-ers so fast I couldn’t keep up with them. Meanwhile, Joanna Wilson, our volun-teer pianist was skillfully playing song after song while Thelma on guitar, Jean on a miniature wash-board, and Mariah and Kristy on ukuleles played as we all sang. At the end, Thelma and Lavonne played together on the piano, laughing as they admitted their challenges as a new duet. Great smells were com-ing from the kitchen under the direction of Hans, with TAPS vol-unteers and Cresteramics day pro-gram helpers getting lunch ready. There was a cribbage game going, and folks meeting and chatting as they arrived singly or via the bus. The TAPS newsletter was available for everyone to read or take home, highlighting activities and news, including reporting that the renova-tions at Rotacrest Hall are well underway with an anticipated move in January.

In preparation for the move, the staff have been doing a deep cleaning and decluttering of accu-mulated “stuff’. Imagine their sur-prise when they discovered almost

200 cups in their cupboards! The Krafty Kronys had an idea in the past for people to bring a cup and saucer to a tea in lieu of a dona-tion, so now a big sorting is going on. Thanks to Jason Smith for

helping co-ordinator Bridget Currie go through the cups, and while TAPS is keeping enough for those great tea parties, many cups and saucers will be upcycled into clever crafts and be for sale, as well as the more valuable ones to be in a silent auction during the afternoon tea, tea cup and Krafty Kronys craft sale in November at TAPS. There was a recent pie assembly day at the TAPS kitchen with over 75 pies made to add to their inventory for the sale.

We are grateful to Harvest Share, the Know and Grow Community Farm greenhouse and Gleaners for food that we use and distribute to our seniors as well as individuals who share their gar-den bounty.

Bridget and Hans are planning a series of events in October and

November around the theme of social history and we’ll have more specifics to report in the October issue of this column. The idea is to have this time to focus on the cul-tural history of the valley, with

speakers presenting their topics, as well as an opportunity for some seniors to tell their sto-ries about how they came to live here and their memories.

One of our unsung heroes is our volunteer bus mechanic who keeps those TAPS buses run-ning. Thank you, Jim

Daniels, for your willingness, dili-gence and Mr. Fix It abilities.

How many meals do you think were prepared and shared with our seniors last year? Well, Bridget reports that there were 1,655 meals through our kitchen thanks to staff and volunteers.

If you’ve read the Voice of Experience in this issue by Marleyne Krell, you’ll know that the Krafty Kronys are looking for a space to work in and store their supplies. We’re putting another plug in for them here as their work as been invaluable for TAPS, and if anyone has any ideas about a possible location, please call TAPS at 250-428-5585.

Maureen Cameron is the commu-nity liaison development co-ordinator for the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors.

Tips from TAPS

Maureen Cameron

Too many teacups at TAPSFrom page 8

Over 12 years ago, teachers thought they fixed this problem when they negotiated a deal that recognized the importance of class size and composition. Then, enter the Liberals with Christy Clark as education min-ister, and those provisions were illegally stripped. Who lost out by this decision? Our kids.

Today, teachers continue to press for those resources. At the top of the list of resources they need to do the best job they can are their time and attention for each student. If all the research and pedagogi-cal analysis isn’t good enough to persuade Christy Clark that class size and composition are critical issues for the success of our students, I suggest she use some common sense.

Kids do better when they can ask their questions, seek one-on-one help, talk out their ideas and challenges, and feel understood by the person instructing them. Smaller class sizes allow for that to happen. Enough educational assistants facilitate the one-on-one time

needed for all kids, especially children with special needs.

These resources are essen-tial, and our 500,000 kids in the public system deserve them. The Liberal government’s sug-gestion that they don’t by origi-nally stripping these provisions from teachers’ contracts and now fighting in the courts to keep them away is simply 19th-century thinking.

Teachers and parents who want an excellent education for our kids, I’m with you. So is every New Democrat MLA and Leader John Horgan. For months, we’ve been calling on Christy Clark to stop tweeting and start meeting, to put class size and composition on the table and get a deal for our kids.

With the first weeks of school come and gone without students enlivening school halls, let’s hope this round of talks with Vince Ready works, and that our government is at the table in good faith willing to work with teachers for the edu-cation our kids deserve.

Michelle Mungall is the mem-ber of the legislative assembly for the Nelson-Creston provincial riding, and is the Opposition critic for social development.

Teachers

From page 12I personally would like to

thank the Krafty Kronys for all their hard work, the fun we have had and the satisfaction of

helping our seniors. My thanks goes out also to Creston at large for supporting the volunteers.

Thunder Cats lose 4-2 to Dynamiters in season-opener

BY BRIAN LAWRENCEAdvance Editor

After winning four of six pre-season exhibi-tion games, the Creston Valley Thunder Cats started the Kootenay International Junior Hockey league’s regular season with a loss to the Kimberley Dynamiters on Saturday.

“Not the result we wanted,” said head coach Jeff Dubois, who took over this season from Josh Hepditch.

The game, he said, had its up and downs, starting with a “scrambly” first period, which saw a single Thunder Cats goal at 15:35 by rookie Austin Steger, assisted by two-season veteran Marcel Fuchs. The Dynamiters tied the score eight minutes later with a power-play goal.

The Thunder Cats outshot the Dynamiters 13-9 in the second period, with rookie and Creston native Jared Bordt, also assisted by Fuchs, scoring the period’s only goal.

“I thought we carried play in the second,” said Dubois. “We were outshooting them pretty decisively at one point but never built a lead past one goal.”

In the third period, the Thunder Cats gave up a couple of turnovers, and were unable to hold the lead, something they were doing well in the exhibition games. The Dynamiters ended up scoring three times — the last after veteran goalie Brock Lefebvre was pulled — doubling Creston’s goals, but Dubois praised Lefebvre.

“He held us in, and the two goals he allowed in in the third were breakaway goals,” he said.

Dubois was also impressed with the perfor-mance of Fuchs and Connor Ward.

“The two of them were really good in a check-ing role,” he said.

The Thunder Cats make up for the weekend’s single game with three games this week, visiting the Golden Rockets on Thursday, and hosting the Rockets on Friday and the Castlegar Rebels on Saturday.

Golden, he said, looks like a strong team, com-ing off a three-point weekend, but Creston man-

aged to defeat Castlegar in two exhibition games.“You don’t know until you see them in the

regular season,” he said. “I think all three games will be tough games.”

BY GREG NESTEROFFNelson Star

Nelson’s deputy police chief isn’t sure whether cuts to BC’s anti-gang unit will have much effect on our area, which remains more of a vacation des-tination for gangs than a place to do business.

The province recently announced the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit — a team of 400 officers

and civilians from 14 agencies including RCMP and munici-pal police forces — will have its budget reduced by $2.8 million.

But deputy chief Paul Burkart doesn’t know what impact, if any, that will have on West Kootenay.

“Would we notice it? I’m not so sure,” he said. “There may be trickle-down at some point, where they’re targeting larger players and don’t have the man-power to do it as well as before.”

Burkart said while it isn’t very visible, police often hear about local links to organized crime. “I would suggest they have their fingers in the pie around here. The reality is we have our share of gangs through this area. We have seen gang members and associates show up in Nelson.”

Some of that is related to mar-ijuana grow-ops and harder drugs, he said, but often gang-sters are just passing through. A few weeks ago, several Hells

BY BARRY COULTERCranbrook Daily Townsman

In Cranbrook, gang activity, particularly in the drug trade, is down after intense police work.

Four years ago, RCMP intervened in a feud between two rival Cranbrook gangs, that had burst out into the open with the shooting of one gang member in front of the Sam Steele Hotel in Cranbrook, in Oct. 2009.

Victim Chad Everett Munroe was shot sev-eral times in the dispute between two rival groups, but survived. The violence in Cranbrook was part of what police there described as a war for control of the Kootenay drug trade between rival gangs, with significant links to organized crime throughout the Kootenay and southern Alberta regions.

In May of 2010, likely as result of the shooting and the ongoing feud, two innocent people — Leanne MacFarlane and Jeffrey Taylor — were murdered in a Mayook cabin just east of Cranbrook.

The murder was a likely case of mistaken identity. A previous occupant of the property was one of the assailants connected with the Sam Steele Hotel shooting.

The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit launched an undercover investigation — using an undercover agent, a lifelong criminal who agreed to work with the RCMP. At a high level RCMP news conference in November, 2010, in Cranbrook, revealed that the feud between the two factions of organized crime in the city was behind four arrests in a complex murder conspiracy case.

Inspector Brian Edmondson, officer in com-mand of the Cranbrook and Kimberley detach-ments at the time, issued a warning to the crimi-nal gangs operating in Cranbrook.

The conspiracy to commit murder trial was eventually moved to Kamloops. In 2013, three Cranbrook men convicted in the complex mur-der plot were sentenced to terms ranging from five and a half to 12 years. Lonnie Adams, Colin Correia, and Lorne Carry were all convicted by a jury in April, 2013, of counselling to kill rival drug dealer Doug Mahon in 2009.

Carry and Correia were also convicted of con-spiracy to commit murder, while Adams was acquitted on that count.

In August, 2014, RCMP reported that crime was down in all areas in Cranbrook. In a presen-tation before Cranbrook city council, Sgt. Brendan McKenna said that of particular note, the drug file charges which were significantly

Nelson a vacation destination for gang membersAngels stayed at a local hotel, one of the two or three groups who usually pass through in the summer. “Nelson is a place they come to holiday at,” Burkart said. “They also come here as a stop on their way to larger centres.”

Police do talk to bike gang mem-bers when they’re in town, Burkart said, and find them “fairly free with information” if they’re on vacation. He stopped some in traffic recently

to find out where they were going.Although gang-related violence

is rare in this area, Burkart said there have been a few incidents.

Kootenay Boundary RCMP Staff Sgt. Leanne Tuchscherer, who is new to the area, said she hasn’t seen many signs of gang activity and it’s hard to measure the presence of organized crime, although “ulti-mately, all drug stuff filters back.”

Activity down in Cranbrook

less in this particular quarter compared to the previous quarter in 2013. It shows that is is down 68 per cent, from 19 charges in 2013 to six charg-es in 2014.

“From my conversation with the corporal in charge of that drug enforcement unit that’s been active here for a couple of years says that essentially most of this is due to the fact that the bigger players have been removed from the street and locked up,” he said. “So this really shows the effect of crime reduction in that area.”

Corporal Chris Newel of the Kimberley RCMP recently told Kimberley council that drug activity was also down in that community, thanks to efforts of local RCMP.
