Forest fire risk reduced thanks to local partnership

By Joshua EstabrooksPioneer Staff

A positive partnership between the District of In-vermere and local fire protection employees has resulted in a much-needed forest fire fuel modification project on another high-risk area within Invermere’s boundaries.

The Pineridge development area, located on a bench overlooking Toby Creek, southwest of downtown Inver-mere, was identified in the Community Wildfire Protec-tion Plan as being at a high risk for potential wildfires, said Rory Hromadnik, Director of Development Services.

The plan rated areas based on the proximity to hous-es, the vegetation type, and fuels located in the area, said Mr. Hromadnik, but Invermere can only tackle land that is publicly owned, once money becomes available.

“We still have about 16 or 17 hectares of very high priority area that is either Crown or district property, but at a cost of $5,000 per hectare to do the work, you need these kinds of partnerships to get the work done,” Mr. Hromadnik explained.

The town partnered with the Shuswap Band earlier this year to carry out work on the escarpment between the industrial park and the homes above it. Then, after a slow

fire season, the District of Invermere was approached by the forest protection officer to see whether there were any more areas that could be worked on.

The seven-person crew can only work on Crown land, explained Brian Koster, Forest Protection Officer, but are happy to do the work as it helps keep their skills sharp and allows them to safeguard large areas of land against future wildfire risks.

“We also want to better educate the public as to what we’re doing,” Mr. Koster said. “Some people think we’re cutting down all the trees and destroying the forests, but that’s not what’s happening.”

The work being done includes removal of lower branches, deadfall and ladder fuel, and the removal of some trees to achieve proper spacing, which prevents crown fires from spreading quickly.

Once complete, the work will not only mitigate much of the fire risk in the area, but also provide a safer forest for all users, with clear lines of sight and less clut-tered forest floors.

The crew plans to carry out more work in and around Invermere, and hope to speak with private landowners about how they can protect their properties with similar tactics as are being used on the Crown lands.

KEEPING US SAFE — Left to right: Forest Protection Officer, Brian Koster, along with crew members Lorne Graham, Ransome Hall, Heather Duffy, Dylan MacIntosh, Robyn Canty, Jonathan Reimer and Brad Zuk prepare to start working on a piece of crown land identified by the District of Invermere as a high risk for wildfires.

Teachers’ job action should not affect studentsBy Joshua EstabrooksPioneer Staff

as students throughout the Columbia Valley return to school this month, their teachers are still looking to negotiate a new contract to improve work conditions and increase salaries.

The existing contract — between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the province — ended in June. That one was not working due to the government’s refusal to allow for negotiation on class size and composition, said Doug Murray, of the Windermere Teachers’ association.

Teachers are asking for control over their classes back, said Mr. Murray, as well as wage increases and a more up-dated benefit system. The union breaks down their needs into four points: teaching conditions that support all stu-dents; a fair and reasonable salary; respect for the profes-sion; and local solutions for local conditions.

The province has come to the negotiating table with a zero increase policy on salaries, applied to all public sectors, said education Minister George abbott.

“The net zero mandate that we have taken to the

bargaining table is not one that is going to be subject to adjustment,” said Minister abbott. “When we look at the 13 jurisdictions in Canada, depending on what comparative factors you use, British Columbia teachers could be as high as third or, arguably, perhaps as low as seventh in terms of comparatives around wages. But whether we’re third or seventh or any other position, British Columbia, just like every other jurisdiction in the western world, is going through a period of very difficult economic adjustment.”

B.C. teachers rank eighth in the country in terms of pay, but have some of the highest costs of living, said Mr. Murray. They really just want the ability to negotiate ef-fectively, he added, but the way the government has set up the bargaining table it makes it very difficult.

“If we go to the bargaining table and they say ‘There’s no money involved’, how do you negotiate?” he said.

“We want more respect for our profession. We want to be able to bargain with people from our board office, but they don’t want to do that. We go to the bargaining table here and they say they can’t discuss it because it is all provincial.”

local Mla, Norm Macdonald, also feels the province should be doing more to find real solutions for its teachers.

“It is time for the government to roll up its sleeves and get to work on making our public school system the best it can be,” he said. “That means working positively with teachers, who are absolutely key in the success of our sys-tem thus far. The government must address the teachers’ concerns around class size and composition because these inadequate learning conditions are having a detrimental effect on children’s learning across the province.”

Until an agreement is reached, teachers will not be doing any administrative work, which includes filling out forms, collecting data, meeting with principals or supervising playgrounds, Mr. Murray said.

They will be teaching and engaging in regular ex-tracurricular activities, so parents and students shouldn’t notice any changes to their routine. If the job action continues into report card season, Mr. Murray said that teachers will be filling them out the way they wish, not necessarily the way the administration requires. Mr. Murray wouldn’t say when, or if, the job action would enter a second phase.

RDEK considers permitting secondary suitesBy Joshua Estabrooks Pioneer Staff

The Regional District of East Kootenay board of directors is looking into updating a zoning bylaw that would allow for secondary suites in residential areas in the Upper Columbia Valley.

Presently, the bylaw covering the unincorporated portions of Areas F and G is the only zoning bylaw in the Regional District that does not routinely accommo-date secondary suites within single-family dwellings.

The Planning and Development department of the Regional District has been asked to investigate the issue, said Andrew McLeod, Manager of Planning and Development Services. He is optimistic that an amendment to the outdated bylaw will be presented early in the new year.

The current zoning dates back to 1990, he ex-plained, but it is not something that is actively en-forced and so it would not be surprising if there are many unpermitted and uninspected secondary suites in homes across in the valley.

“It’s an historical anomaly,” he said. “That zoning bylaw, for whatever reason, back in 1990 they decided not to include [secondary suites] and it is something current directors are interested in investigating.”

Currently, there are only three zones in which sec-ondary suites are allowed and they are found only in certain areas of Fairmont Hot Springs and Panorama, said Mr. McLeod. The proposed bylaw amendments will be presented to the public for consideration and comment before being finalized and considered by the board for first reading early in 2012.

• On September 8th at 1:30 p.m., Columbia Valley detachment received a complaint of identity theft. The victim advised the police that a number of loans were taken out in his name. Although the name on the loan papers was identical to the victim’s, the social insurance number was not. The complainant was able to provide a possible suspect. The investigation is continuing.

• Columbia Valley RCMP was also made aware of two possible attempted fraud incidents that the public should know about. The first incident involved a phone call from a man identifying himself as an employee of Microsoft. He wanted access to the person’s computer. However, the person being called did not own a Micro-soft computer and the call was after hours. Access was denied.

• A further fraud attempt was reported to police when an item on Craigslist was listed for a minimal amount. The seller was contacted via e-mail by someone interested in the item. The interested buyer indicated that they would be sending money orders for the item. The money orders arrived, two for $1,000 each, even though the item was for far less. The e-mail stated the seller should go to the bank, cash the money order, keep a little extra cash, and when the item was to be picked up, the remaining money could be given to the person picking up the item.

The money orders were found to be a forgery. In this case, the risk is on the innocent party trying to cash the fake money order. The next step would be for the person passing the forged money order to demand his money from the money orders or make threats.

I advised our citizen that should there be any such contact, to phone the police as we have the money order and would be pleased to hear from them.

• On September 9th at 3:30 p.m., Columbia Val-ley detachment received a complaint of theft of a watch from a jacket at Panorama. The watch is described as a Tag Heuer, model Aqua Racer.

• On September 9th at 4 p.m., RCMP members attended a disturbance on Wolfe Crescent, Invermere. The disturbance was family related and no charges were requested.

• On September 10th at 10:40 a.m., police respond-ed to a complaint of a suspicious man acting in a bi-zarre manner. A 48-year-old man from Calgary became stranded in Canal Flats. His behavior became known to citizens in the area and came to the attention of the po-lice. No charges were requested and the man was lodged in cells for a period of time.

The next day, police again became involved with the man and, due to his behavior, he was taken to the hospi-tal to be assessed under the Mental Health Act, and then later released.

Police were able to convince the man to get on the bus and head back to Calgary.

� ank you Part II: Seniors and their driver’s licences

The above picture depicts my relationship with my father after two weeks of dealing with the issue of his driver’s licence. I caption it, ‘We agree to disagree.’

One thing about living and working in B.C. is that my sisters have to deal with my father and his driver’s li-cence. When he was 80, they came looking for him to be retested. He failed, was given restrictions, and was advised he would have to return for retesting. At one point he told my sister, “I might as well go home and tell all my 80-year-old friends to kill themselves.” My sister advised him to not to worry, given the small number of friends he has who are still living, we were not looking at a genocide.

When I went home to Ontario for a visit, Dad told me about the conspiracy at the licensing office in Sud-bury and he demanded I take him to a different office in North Bay for testing. Off I drove to North Bay with him. Because Dad was not familiar with the area, I let him drive around North Bay for practice. I grabbed the wheel three times to prevent an accident. I made it clear that he would not pass the test and to accept this fact.

I took him to the testing place and I watched him depart with the driving instructor. A minute went by un-til I saw him drive back. The instructor got out of the car, looked at me and asked, “Are you his son?”

“Guilty,” I said. The instructor made it clear to me: “He can’t be driving a car.” “It’s not me you have to con-vince,” I responded.

So, off we went into the main mall area to a cof-fee shop to have a son-to-dad talk. Dad was not accept-ing the outcome and was arguing that these guys didn’t know what they were doing and that we would go some-where else to be tested. He was pushing my buttons and we were both raising our voices. Dad pushed the final button when he blurted out, “I don’t care, I’m not afraid to die.” I raised my voice to him, saying, “I know you are not afraid to die; you lived a long life, married, raised kids, and enjoyed grandchildren. It’s the young person you could kill who won’t have the same opportunities as you have that I’m more concerned with.”

As I sat back in my chair, I looked around to see all the people in the mall area giving me a dirty look for rais-ing my voice at that cute old man.

“Drink your coffee, Dad, it’s getting cold.” Dad is 88 now and still pushing buttons. Thank-

fully, that’s why I have sisters back in Ontario.

Miller joins Invermere’s mayoral raceBy Kelsey VerboomPioneer Staff

The run for Invermere’s mayoral seat is heating up, with current councillor, Al Miller, announcing today that he plans to run for the position in this fall’s upcom-ing election. Thus far, the only other candidate to have announced his intention to run is Invermere’s current mayor, Gerry Taft.

Councillor Miller has been serving the district for one term in his current position, and said the experience he’s gained has been a valuable step in his political journey.

“Running for mayor is something I’ve wanted to do for some time. Last term I chose to run for council first and get my feet wet that way,” he said. “I think it was the right thing to do.”

Sitting around the council table has taught Council-lor Miller how to best communicate with political peers, to listen and sometimes compromise, in order to make the best judgement calls and move issues forward, he said.

“Mostly, I’ve learned the ability to work with a group of like-minded people who are passionate about their community and its political scene … I’ve enjoyed my term on council and I think, if elected, I’ll really en-joy the responsibility of being mayor. It certainly comes with a lot of responsibility, and I think if given the op-

portunity, I can really handle it well.”Councillor Miller said he has no agenda for running,

and that he thinks it’s crucial to listen to the public and what they feel is important.

“From my feeling, I believe we really need to work hard at a few things,” he said. “Family is so important, and having families here is very, very important. At the current time we’ve lost a lot of jobs in the valley. We have to work hard to get those jobs back and to create new jobs.

“We have to be open for business. I believe strongly that we need an Economic Development Officer here, and that needs to happen sooner rather than later … I want to see a growth factor in our families here, so in other words, we need to have more jobs.”

Increasing job prospects is only one part of the over-all picture for the community, Councillor Miller added. He also voiced his support for developing the local arts and recreation scenes in the valley.

“I really believe that with the right support, and with the wonderful volunteers in our community, we can do some amazing things in the arts sector.”

These important steps, he said, can’t been viewed as promises or as something that can happen instantaneously.

“This is going to take a lot of time and a lot of hard work. We have to work together as a community with upper levels of government to help make it happen.”

Councillor Miller moved to the Columbia Valley from Ontario in 1988, after visiting the area on a trip. He has worked at the Home Hardware since 1988, and has owned it since 1993. He is the current president of the Columbia Valley Rockies Hockey Club and the past president of the Columbia Valley Chamber of Commerce. Councillor Miller lives in Invermere with his wife Lucy, and has three children, Joshua, Timothy, and Sarah.

Memories of Hotel Windermere

Goldilocks and the 50 exoplanetsBy Kate IrwinPioneer Staff

HD 85512 b. Don’t worry, that wasn’t a coded mes-sage from someone trapped in The Pioneer office — HD 85512 b is a newly-discovered planet near our solar sys-tem, with the potential for supporting life.

Found recently by european astronomers, it could be the nearest habitable planet to earth, although po-tential residents would need to enjoy humidity, it’s de-scribed as like a hot steam bath.

perhaps it was too much star trek as a kid; likely the pair of astronomers in my family is influential; but the dis-covery of new celestial phenomena always turns my atten-tion to the skies. The 50 or so new exoplanets announced earlier this week have captured my existential intrigue.

to find another planet within the so-called “Goldi-locks zone” (not too hot, not too cold for liquid water) is extremely unusual. it’s a very narrow set of criteria to meet. But with an estimated 50 billion planets in the Milky Way, we would surely be remiss to assume we’ve wound up on the only one capable of sustaining life.Whether or not that life is on them, possibly even intel-ligent life — that is the question.

The conditions on HD 85512 b would be, by our stan-dards, almost unbearable. The gravity is 1.4 times that of earth, which would render possible indigenous life rather vertically-challenged. its sun is nearly 1,000c cooler than ours, but surface temperatures range from 30c to 50c — a little hot under the collar even for sun worshippers.

But the ability of lifeforms to adapt in astounding ways to their environment seems limitless. On earth we have fish who provide their own light source in the dark depths of the oceans, plants which exist for months with-out water and a variety of creatures that can survive for lengthy periods without food.

to imagine that just because us humans cannot survive on most planets, other life can’t, would be shortsighted.

Historical LensHistorical Lens

Dear Editor:

At the time last week’s Historical Lens photo was taken, the Hotel Windermere was owned jointly by Edgar Stoddart; his brother James’ widow, Rose Stoddart; and Maud Stoddart Chisholm — the sister of Edgar and James, who was married to A.M. Ch-isholm, a local magistrate and author.

As you mentioned, the original log building (at one time a stage coach stop) was pictured to the left and the two buildings were connected by a closed walkway.

As a young child in the 1930s, I visited there of-ten. It was then being managed by Maud Chisholm, since Edgar died in 1934. I especially remember ex-ploring the third floor where my friend and I found things like boxes of shirt collars and other memora-

bilia of bygone days. Across the street was a huge empty space where

baseball games were played in the summer. I remem-ber the lobby area of the newer building being quite lovely with a curving staircase. There was a huge old stove in the kitchen of the old section that had been the domain of a Chinese cook for many years.

Reg and Ethel Wannop of Calgary purchased the property in the early 1940s and Mrs. Wannop ran a dress shop in the old log portion. Her daughter Glo-ria and I were thrilled to be models when she spon-sored fashion shows in the main hotel.

I think the photo in your paper captures the ho-tel at its finest!

LETTERS

Dear Editor:

In response to the article by Joshua Estabrooks in the September 2nd edi-tion of The Pioneer on the results of the HST referendum.

The HST referendum result is dras-tically short of what would have been needed to the kill the tax if former pre-mier Gordon Campbell had not changed the threshold for success under the Re-call and Initiative Act, brought in under the former provincial New Democratic Party government.

Under the initial rules, Fight HST would have needed 50 per cent of all eligible voters — or about 1.5 million people — to vote in favour of killing the tax, in order for the HST to be scrapped.

If the rules had been applied, the August 26th tally would have failed by

more than 640,000 votes. Bill Vander-Zalm thanked former premier Camp-bell for these changes because if they were not made, there is no way the HST would have been defeated.

Adrian Dix on the other hand, has chosen not to comment on this topic as the old rules were initiated by the former NDP government.

Dalton McGuinty, premier of On-tario who also brought in the HST on July 1st, 2010, commented after the HST vote in B.C. that as “Steady as she goes, HST has stabilized the Ontario economy, more new jobs this year than the rest of Canada. We have the advan-tage.”

Invermere Industrial Park (just off the road to Panorama)

Dear Editor:

In The Pioneer’s September 9th issue on page 38, regarding recent activity in the Farnham Glacier area, the following quote is attributed to Grant Costello of Glacier Resorts Ltd. (GRL)

“My ultimate hope is that they’ll [Winsport] remove their stuff. . . and that they will return the area to as close to pristine as possible, and that the prov-ince will ensure that they do that.”

Although it is unusual, this time I am very much in agreement with Mr. Costello. I had meetings with him on June 8th and July 12th where I and oth-er witnesses heard him say that the bull-dozer track to the West Farnham Gla-cier, made in August 2008, is not longer required; that GRL had abandoned any plans to use or further develop that

rough track. This is further confirmed in the notes of government inspectors who visited the site on August 10th, in com-pany with Mr. Costello.

Therefore, my ultimate hope is that GRL will remove their bulldozer track of 2008 and return the area to as close to pristine as possible, and that the prov-ince will ensure that they do that before any commercial activity takes place on the GRL Licence of Occupation.

I am certain Mr. Costello will be very much in agreement with this, be-cause of his strong environmental ethic. And further, when this remediation work is completed GRL will have secured one of their greatest public relation coups in the past 20 years.

Reader wants further remediation

Thanks for the article about the Rocky Mountain Boys’ Camp that was in the Au-gust 19th edition of The Pioneer.

I attended Rocky Mountain Boys’ Camp for three consecutive years, from either 1969 or ’70 to 1972 or ’73. I have very fond mem-ories of those times — too many to list, now that I think about it. The camp was a terrific place to spend a summer month — looking back, it seems like a sort of paradise.

The variety of activities made available

to the kids was so broad. Everybody was en-couraged to do their best and enjoy them-selves. I remember ghost stories expertly told by Gaither Zinkan; thrilling games of capture the flag (all able campers would play, running around like spies in enemy territory over the course of an evening in the wooded area to the south of the camp’s property); weekly nights of hot dogs; skits and singing down on the lakeside field by the beach; hiking up Mt. Swansea; pad-

dling against the wind down Lake Wind-ermere; singing Johnny Appleseed in the dining hall; visiting the tuck shop (hoping for mail and care packages from home); and spectacular sunsets over Lake Windermere after dinner.

The Zinkans ran a great camp. Every-body should have their own Rocky Moun-tain Boys’ Camp to think back on.

If Kathy’s last name sounds familiar, you’re not hal-lucinating. In a Freaky Friday-like switch, Kathy and her husband, former ad salesman Dave Sutherland, have swapped seats, and Kathy will now be selling ads for both the newspaper and The Pioneer’s special publications.

Dave was with The Pioneer since it began in 2004. After seven years of ensuring that the newspaper made enough money to be printed each week, Dave will now be spending more time with his and Kathy’s 2-year-old son, Jake, and working to expand the couple’s burgeon-ing Dave’s Hot Pepper Jelly business.

“Dave and I are a really great team and it’s fantastic that we are able to have the opportunity to restructure our work/family lives in an effort to achieve all our goals and aspirations,” Kathy said.

She is now raring to start selling, and has already proved to be a perfect fit for The Pioneer team.

No stranger to the valley, Kathy moved here seven years ago, but her family, the Degenhardts, have had a place at Canyon RV in Radium for more than 30 years. “Some of my fondest childhood memories are of the val-ley,” she said.

Kathy is also already familiar with The Pioneer, as she sold the 2011 Map Book, Columbia Valley Homes and Lifestyles Magazine, and the Radium Hot Springs Maga-zine. She brings a wealth of previous experience with her: she was self-employed for more than 10 years, carrying out business development and sales for various oilfield service companies, and has five years of experience sell-

ing fractional and full ownership real estate at Bighorn Meadows Resort.

“I’m really excited about this new challenge. I think it’s going to be a great way to meet new people, and really connect with the community,” Kathy said.

“I’ve loved The Pioneer since day one, and I am so looking forward to working with valley businesses to co-ordinate not just the best and most high-impact ads, but the best marketing package for them.

“There are so many ways to stretch advertising dol-lars, and especially in today’s economy, I have many ideas to help make limited advertising dollars go further. I can’t wait.”

If you’re interested in hearing Kathy’s fresh advertis-ing ideas, drop by the office (#8, 1008-8th Ave., Inver-mere), phone 250-341-6299 or 250-341-1939, or email [email protected].

Invermere Provincial Court: September 12th

By Kate IrwinPioneer Staff

Dustin M. Polier, 27, pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance at Invermere Provincial Court on Monday, September 12th.

On January 1st, 2010, police received a mischief and noise complaint from a neighbour of Mr. Polier, said Crown counsel. An officer who attended Mr. Polier’s res-idence noted the odour of fresh marijuana and obtained a search warrant for the property, the court heard.

Inside they discovered a quantity of psychocybin mushrooms and 1.5 tablets of ecstasy. Due to Mr. Po-lier’s compliance with police and his admission of guilt, he was granted an absolute discharge by Judge R. Webb with a $500 victim surcharge fine.

Council briefsCanal Flats — September 12th

• Council approved a payment of $31,276.78 to Benny Boyz Ventures for work completed in 2007 to relocate the village water main and dedicated reservoir supply line.

• Council received a report regard-ing off-site works to be completed on Big Horn Sheep Lane before potential sub-division. Landowners Blake and Wendy Hiebert put in a preliminary subdivision application on June 1st to create six lots on their site. Any developer can be required to make repairs to the road and put in in-frastructure; however, another developer, Painted Ridge, already committed to car-rying out repair work on the entire sec-tion of road concerned. Council deferred a decision on whether to make the Hieberts responsible for half the work until contact could be made with Painted Ridge.

• The Village of Canal Flats adopted a new purchasing policy which gives guide-lines on the purchase of services or goods for the village.

• Following the purchase of Eagle’s Nest Waterworks System the Canal Flats council approved the introduction of the Eagle’s Nest Water Rates and Regulations Bylaw, No. 131. The bylaw covers, among other things, use of the water system, wa-ter restrictions, servicing, water meters, and rates.

• Council discussed the introduction of a Canal Flats Unsightly Premise Bylaw,

No. 132, Noise Control Bylaw, No. 133, and Municipal Ticket Information Bylaw, No. 134. The decision was deferred to a special council meeting, to be held Tues-day, September 20th.

Invermere — September 13th

• Council received a presentation from Public Health Nurses Crissy Stavra-kov and Jeff Quinn regarding the instal-lation of sharps disposal receptacles in key locations throughout the District of Invermere. Council discussed the request and carried a motion to direct staff to work with the public health staff to install the containers in key locations, including Kinsmen Beach and Mt. Nelson Athletic Park. All costs associated with the pur-chase and maintenance of the receptacles will be covered by Interior Health.

• Council discussed a request from Grizzly Ridge Properties to the Regional District regarding the discharge of a re-strictive covenant on land southwest of district boundaries. Council carried a motion to inform the Regional District of East Kootenay that they do not sup-port the release of the covenant due to a lack of overall integrated land use plan for the Grizzly Ridge Properties, and be-cause the proposed subdivision is incon-sistent with Council’s desire to maintain larger parcels west of the discussed urban containment area adjacent to the Dis-trict’s boundaries.

Coming from someone who has zero interest in neither comic books nor science fiction, Thor is actually a really enjoyable film.

The movie is based on the Mar-vel comic book hero of the same name, who is a magical-hammer-wielding thunder god. The popu-lar comic book character, created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Lar-ry Lieber, is based on the Thor of Norse mythology.

In this entertaining film, Thor and his fel-low gods reside in the realm of Asgard, at the other end of our solar system. As the buff, blonde son of Odin, lord of the Asgardian gods, Thor underestimates his own

powers, which give him superhuman strength and the ability to control and conjure the weather. As next in

line to the powerful Asgardian throne, Thor’s youth and physical powers cause him to make a shortsighted mistake and result in his banish-ment to earth, stripped of his powers.

On earth and trying to restore his powers to return to Asgard, Thor is unable to conceal his Trojan-like appearance and mannerisms, and he attracts the attention of a number of scientists try-ing to understand the unique weather patterns the gods entrances to earth make.

Chris Hemsworth plays Thor, and the casting is perfect. Hemsworth’s buff bod and ability to act as someone who doesn’t know his own strength are

right on the mark. The film includes other big-name ac-tors, like Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, Tom Hid-dleston, and Rene Russo. Although some of their roles

are small, the collective of big time actors brings a power to the action-packed film.

For the most part, the special effects in Thor are well done and exciting, especially when Thor whirls his ham-mer above his head to create a storm. However, there are a few downfalls, like the cheesy rainbow-and-gold set of Asgard that isn’t overly convincing. The film does do an excellent job of visually incorporating the main symbols associated with Thor: thunder, lightning, storms, and oak trees.

The final lines of Thor’s script smell heavily of a se-quel, so we probably haven’t seen the last of the Asgard-ian gods on the silver screen.

And, it’s suitable for most areas of the house.I can’t wait to put this in my house. In every building I lay cork — including a spa, a hair salon, a gift store and so many homes — owners lament they should have done it sooner.

The value of this product is incredible. What about cost?

It’s not often I will say this, but look outside the brand names.

The value isn’t there. We have found a number of great product lines that are better than the brand names and still include all the benefi ts.

Author to speak at museum as summer season draws to a close

Submitted by Dorothy BlundenWindermere Valley Museum

Summer at the Windermere Valley Museum is fast drawing to a close and the Historical Society invites you to their closing activity at the museum site on Saturday, September 24th, at 2 p.m.

West Kootenay author Art Joyce will be at the mu-seum to speak about Home Children in Canada. Mr. Joyce, a journalist and author of two books on West Kootenay history, is preparing a book about the 100,000 or so children who were sent from the U.K. to work in Canada between 1869 and 1939.

Many of these youngsters were orphans, homeless or from very poor homes, and ended up as indentured labourers for newly developing farms or, in the case of girls, domestic servants for households.

Tens of thousands more children were sent to Aus-tralia and New Zealand and many were permanently separated from parents or siblings. Often they worked with little or no remuneration or love. Most knew noth-ing of the family left behind. They were lost souls.

If you have a story of a Home Child in your family or suspect that someone in your family may have been a

Home Child, come and share the story with others. You may solve a family mystery.

We would also like to thank our summer students Dionne and Olivia Rad, who helped make summer at the museum a success through their special efforts. 150 children attended our weekly children’s programs, learn-ing everything from using a mangle to milking cows, and from panning for gold to building a tipi.

Visitors from around the world and the local day care centres dropped in to learn about our valley, and our special exhibit, Toys Alive, brought smiles and memories to everyone.

One of our other sets of special visitors was a film crew from Japan. These gentlemen became enamored with the story of Conrad Kain and his exploits while here preparing a film about the Rockies. The museum’s display — courtesy of the Conrad Kain Committee — provided information and footage for them.

Thanks to all of our residents who found time to visit the museum and to bring their families, friends and visitors to enjoy our sights and sounds of valley history.

Winter hours will begin the last week of September: Tuesday, 12-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. Remember, we always welcome volunteers. We’ll find a winter project for you!


YOUR MONEYExchange traded funds

In an age where interest rates are at historical lows and investment returns have been sluggish, many inves-tors are looking to trim the overall costs of their portfo-lios. After all, the more you pay for investment manage-ment, the smaller your returns will be. If you are looking for lower management fees on your investments then ex-change traded funds (ETFs) may be worth considering.

What are they?ETFs are essentially mutual funds that trade on a

stock exchange. These ETFs hold a basket of securities such as stocks or bonds and are set to closely replicate a stock market, index or basket of holdings with set criteria.

Unlike mutual funds that actively try and beat an index over time, ETFs only try and replicate the per-formance of the market, index or basket of stocks they follow. For example, a solar power ETF will only try and match the performance of solar stocks trading in the market.

Management FeesManagement fees on mutual funds are charged on

the balance of the fund for a variety of services. These services include paying the manager of the fund to buy and sell stocks, bonds or other investments. Other ser-vices include paying the financial advisor for overseeing the account, custodial fees such as prospectuses and con-firmation slips and trading costs within the fund.

Management fees on regular mutual funds generally range from 1.25% to 2.0% for fixed income funds and from 1.75% to over 3% for equity funds. ETFs on the other hand, can be as low as 0.07% in the case of the Horizons BetaPro S&P/TSX 60 Index fund or 0.15% in case of the iShares S&P/TSX 60 Index fund.

VarietyWhen ETFs first hit the market their focus was

somewhat limited to broader indexes like the S&P 500 or the S&P/TSX or sub-indexes such as financial ser-vices, gold or energy stocks. Today the world of ETFs has expanded considerably and now includes a variety of investment opportunities with lower fees in areas such as agriculture, alternative energy, real estate and other spe-cific areas of the economy. It is also possible to invest in individual countries such as Brazil, China, Australia and others.

MainstreamWhen ETFs first hit the market, their use was fairly

limited due to compensation. Financial advisors were slow to utilize the benefits of ETFs because they didn’t get compensated on an ongoing basis to recommend them. This left ETF companies targeting individual do-it-yourself investors as the main users of their products. While some individual investors were quick to catch on, it wasn’t until the past 10 years or so with the advance-

ment of internet use that ETFs had a broader market.This has changed in recent years as many ETF com-

panies have began to target the financial advisor commu-nity by offering ETS that pay a small annual fee to the advisor for administering the account.

As well, many brokerage firms have ramped up their fee based accounts that are much accommodating to ETF use because the advisors get paid directly by the client based on the assets that are managed not the prod-ucts that are held.

How to buy an ETF?Since ETFs are bought and sold on the stock market

there are two ways to buy an ETF. One way is through a securities licensed investment advisor. These financial ad-visors have extra training and licensing that allow them to recommend and access individual stocks, bonds and other investments directly on behalf of their clients.

Valley business beatsThis summer season, several valley businesses have

changed faces or places:• Essentials Department Store: In July, the de-

partment store made a move from their location near Invermere’s Cenotaph Park to a new storefront at 516-13th Street (beside Sears).

The store, which carries sewing equipment and fab-rics, as well as clothing, is owned by Carrie Rickards. Barbara Konig, general manager of the store, said al-though the new retail space is slightly smaller than the old one, things inside the store have mostly stayed the same.

“We still have the same great brands we used to have before, and we still carry all our fabrics, sewing ma-chines, and sewing equipment,” she said. “We still have a lot of our regular customers coming in, and there are also some new faces.”

Phone: 250-342-9313. Hours: Monday-Saturday 9 a.m.-5:30 p.m., Sundays from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

• Fusion Wellness Spa: At the beginning of Sep-tember, longtime owner and Invermere resident, Jeanette Riches, sold her successful spa to new owner, Barbara Mullen. Barbara, who is originally from England but who has spent years visiting the valley, will be relocating here from Fort McMurray shortly. For now, the spa re-mains mostly the same and continues to be managed by Josey Streicek, who said Barbara has many fresh ideas for the new year. Immediate changes include the addition of gel nail polish treatments, a few new staff members,

pregnancy massage services, and special discounts and monthy specials for locals.

Phone: 250-341-3511. Hours Monday-Saturday 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m.-4 p.m.

• Mercer & Co.: Invermere’s Mercer and Company made the move from near Cenotaph Park to their new location at 905-7th Ave (across from AG Foods), just in time for the September long weekend. The store’s mix of residential and commercial lighting, framing, and local clothing line, Arrowhead, has remained mostly the same, although the volume of clothing supply has increased along with the foot traffic to the store, said owner Leanne Tegart. They also carry Rocky Mountain Soap, and have an eclectic mix of vintage items, like a retro gas pump, in the store.

Phone: 250-342-0012. Hours: Tuesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., with extended hours during holidays.

• Oriental Palace: In July, Joyce Xu and Ming Huang became the new owners of Invermere’s Orien-tal Palace (925-7th Ave.).

“We really like it here. There are very nice people here,” Ming said of the valley.

Joyce and Ming haven’t yet changed anything on the menu or with the restaurant’s decor, although Ming said to watch for exciting new changes to come.

Phone: 250-342-8308. Hours: Monday-Friday, 9 a.m-5p.m. Weekends from 4:30-9 p.m. Lunch buf-fet weekdays.

Mexican fiesta raises $7,600The sixth annual Fiesta Mexicana, held every year at Radium Valley Vacation Resort, surpassed its fundraising goal for

this year when 72 diners gathered on September 10th to chow down for a good cause. The Mexican-themed dinner night raises funds for Casa Connor, a charitable project in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, that is working to build a 10,000 sq. ft. facility for the therapy of 120 physically disabled children. Casa Connor is the passion of Geraldine and Jerry Vanderveen and Tina and Peter Oudman, who are the parents and grandparents of Connor, the project’s namesake. Connor suffers from Hunter’s Disease. All money from the dinner will go towards building Casa Connor, which broke ground this July.

Pioneer Newspaper@PioneerNewsTip


Longtime local resident, Shawn Tegart, has been in and around classic vehicles for as long as he can remem-ber. He first started tinkering under the hoods of vehicles as a youngster, alongside both of his grandfathers, who were more than happy to pass on their passion and skills, he said.

Today, motorsports and classic vehicle restoration, are the focus of not only his hobby, but also his business, Arrowhead Racing.

Mr. Tegart sponsors a number of local dirt bike rac-ers, and operates a shop overlooking Toby Creek, where he breathes new life into old rust buckets and helps any-one with a classic chassis to build their dream cruiser, no matter what make, model or design.

“We restore bikes and cars, anything vintage on wheels,” said Mr. Tegart. “Cars are so individual, and ev-erybody wants their own thing. There are things that are practical and things that aren’t and I can help you figure

out what to do with whatever vehicle you want restored. It has to fit you and what you want.”

Mr. Tegart’s restoration work includes welding, fab-rication, bodywork, paint and most other customizations needed, he said. Anything else he usually farms out to local experts, who he feels are as professional and highly skilled as anyone you’ll find in the big cities.

“There’s a small group of us into the hot rod culture out here,” he explained. “We learn from the older guys who are keen to help anyone who is still into it to help keep it going.”

To keep in line with his “Valley Built” motto, Mr. Tegart works in collaboration with a number of other lo-cal businesses, including exhaust fitters, steel fabricators and upholstry services.

“I try to keep everything I do as local as possible,” he said. “That’s what our slogan is all about. We live and work in the valley, so all of us, and our vehicles, are val-ley built.”

You won’t catch Mr. Tegart spending hours and hours polishing his rides either. He would much rather

drive his creations than put them on display. In fact almost all of Mr. Tegart’s restorations are

functional in nature, he said. His philosophy is that if you aren’t going to drive the vehicle, then it isn’t worth working on.

“I usually work on rat rods, which means they are for driving around,” he said. “They don’t cost a whole bunch of money to restore but they are fun to cruise around in and they look good driving by.”

Last year, Mr. Tegart and his wife, Leanne, took their 1959 Chevrolet El Camino and a number of his other classic vehicles to Radium Hot Spring’s annual Show and Shine, and he said he is looking forward to going back this year and kicking some tires with other classic car enthusiasts from far and wide.

“It’s an event that brings a lot of people to the val-ley and I think there are some great opportunities to expand it to include a lot more,” Mr. Tegart said.

“It does really well, it’s really laid back and anyone can enter it. We need more events like this to bring people from that world out here.”

Schedule of EventsPolicing the Show & Shine

By Pioneer Staff

The Columbia Valley RCMP will be cracking down at this year’s Show & Shine, with fines and other action against car owners exhibiting flashy driving or performing stunts.

With legislation now in place in B.C. to prevent stunt driving, anyone caught breaking the rules could face tickets, fines or even vehicle impoundment.

“Last year we had a car lose control and cause dam-age to property,” said Staff Sergeant Marko Shehovac. “It’s only a matter of time before someone loses it into a crowd — that’s a given ... The last couple of years have been better, but there’s still showboating going on and people encouraging cars to perform stunts.”

At last year’s car show, eight charges were laid against attendees for reckless driving. This weekend the RCMP have called in reinforcements from Golden and East Kootenay Traffic Services.

Car show attendees are reminded not to speed, perform doughnuts, burn rubber or perform tricks. Attendees are asked not to encourage drivers to com-mit illegal acts.

Farewell, Farmers MarketBy Kate IrwinPioneer Staff

Spirits were high as the Invermere Farmers Market drew to a close on Saturday, September 10th, after a summer of delicious baked goods, fresh fruit and veg-etables, unique jewelry, arts and crafts, and many other tasty and crafty choices.

Under new market manager Julia Oaks, the Inver-mere Farmers Market ran for longer than ever before, with an extra week added at the start and end of the season to keep up with demand from visitors and stall-holders alike.

“The summer went really well I’ve received a lot of positive feedback from stall-holders,” said Julia, who took over from previous organizers Eva Coles and Rose-mary Oaks last winter. “The small changes which we made seem to have gone down well.”

The market, which began in the summer of 2000, at-tracts around 2,000-3,000 visitors per week from across the Columbia Valley and neighbouring communities with its make, bake or grow philosophy.

With 55 vendors filing the streets in downtown In-vermere each Saturday, the market has become a pop-ular part of the downtown scene during the summer months.

Regional District announces Volunteers of the Year


The Regional Dis-trict of East Kootenay has announced its 2011 Electoral Area Volunteer Appreciation Awards, with a Columere resident and Edgewater volunteer among those recognized.

At their board of di-rectors meeting on Fri-day, September 2nd, the Regional District paid tribute to Judy Roggeman, from Columere, Joyce Lang, from Edgewater, and five other volunteers from across the electoral areas.

“Each year, we recognize the volunteer efforts of several outstanding citizens in the region,” said Scott Manjak, Board Chair. “More than ever, volunteers are the heart of our communities. We are grateful to all of the volunteers who make this region what it is, and it is an honour to pay tribute to seven deserving individuals this year.”

Mrs. Roggeman is being recognized for her 14 years service on the Board of Directors for the Columere Park Community Association. During her time, she served as director, secretary and president, raising the level of the community to new heights, said a news release from the Regional District.

As well as serving as a community leader, Mrs. Roggeman was always available for the day-to-day tasks around town. Her commitment went beyond Columere and she readily volunteered in other communities as

well. If there was a meet-ing in the Fairmont or Columbia Lake area, she was there, and not just as an observer.

Mrs. Roggeman, who got into volunteer-ing when her children were attending school in the area, said that she was honoured when she heard the news.

“I am not sure who is responsible for the votes

or nominations but I really was surprised,” she added. For Mrs. Lang it is the second year in a row that she

has been nominated for Volunteer of the Year for Area G. She was nominated for the time she has spent giv-ing back to the community of Edgewater through the Legion, the church, the Hospital Auxiliary and her work with seniors.

Without her help, there would be a lot of organiza-tions struggling, the Regional District said.

Mrs. Lang is honoured to be recognized, she said, urging the younger generation to get out and help in their community as well.

“It’s nice to be appreciated, but we could sure use a lot more volunteers these days,” she explained. “People know where I am and they usually holler, and 99% of the time I am available”

Both women, along with five other local area volun-teers of the year, will be honoured at a special dinner on September 21st, where they will formally receive their awards.

It is with much sadness that we announce the sudden but peaceful passing of Laura Merle Levagood, age 86, on September 3rd, 2011 at Delta

Hospital, after a seven month struggle with cancer.Born July 8th, 1925 in Manitou, Manitoba. She was the youngest daughter of William and Laura Manning of Darlingford, Manitoba. Merle had 2 sisters, Alva and Ella, and 3 brothers Clayton, Wray and Delbert. All her family had predeceased her.Merle had a happy, small town childhood in Darlingford. She always had lots of friends, sang in the church choir, and enjoyed skating at the local community centre. After graduation from high school, Merle moved to Calgary where she worked for McDonalds Consolidated. There she met and worked with Marion Levagood, soon to be her sister-in-law.Merle met Glenn Levagood in Calgary in 1946. They were married in Calgary on February 8th, 1947. Soon after, they moved to Camrose Alberta, where Glenn began his 50 year career with Sun Life. Moving with this new family was Mrs. Laura Manning Sr., who lived with the family for eleven years, until she passed away in 1958.Pamela Jean Levagood was born in Camrose, Alberta on February 16th, 1951. Cynthia Louise Levagood was born in Edmonton, Alberta on July 23rd, 1959. Merle had a zest for life! She loved to cook and entertain. Everyone was always welcome at the Levagood home. She played an active role in the community, volunteering at Ronald McDonald House and the Misericordia Hospital for decades. Merle loved curling at the Hillcrest Country Club, quilting with her quilting group, playing cards, knitting afghans and boy did she know her sports trivia. She and Glenn were avid Edmonton Eskimos and Edmonton Oilers fans, having season’s tickets for decades.After Glenn’s passing on September 2nd, 2001 in Edmonton, Merle moved to Tsawwassen, B.C., in 2007 to be closer to her girls. There she lived at the Waterford Seniors Residence where she made many, dear friends, enjoyed playing bridge, attending happy hour, (especially when Elvis was entertaining!) and had many daily laughs.Merle is survived by Pam and Moray Keith of Tsawwassen, B.C., and Cindy Levagood and David Dupont of Fairmont Hot Springs BC.Much joy in Merle’s life was attributed to her grandchildren, Greg Keith and Courtney Keith of Vancouver, B.C. Years of dance recitals, hockey games, Nan’s baking and Nana’s love was special to them, and shall be greatly missed.Fairmont Hot Springs, Mountainside Villas played a big part in Merle and Glenn’s life.

By Pastor Murray WittkeValley Christian Assembly

I was twenty-six and Richard was my first experi-ence with death as a pastor.

When I met him he was bright-eyed, thin, and could sit in a chair. He had a great bush of hair and moved his head jerkily from side to side. He cracked jokes and loved to laugh. Before it was finished with him, Lou Gehrig’s Disease stripped Richard of his ability to speak, swallow, or lift a finger. In the end all he could move were his eyes.

Richard was sharp and we spent many afternoons in conversation. Over time I learned to decipher his slurred speech. He formed words slowly, wrestling with an unruly tongue and limp lips. When he could no lon-ger speak he typed sentences onto a computer screen, patiently selecting one letter at a time.

He enjoyed baseball and in October we watched the

Orioles and Phillies in the World Series. The average age of the Phillies that year was thirty two, the same as Rich-ard. They both fought their opponent and lost.

Richard spent the winter in bed. He suffered bed sores, cramps, and stiffness in his wasted limbs. He nev-er complained. During his last days Richard lost interest in the world outside his room.

We sat quietly and watched the movie Jesus of Naza-reth. We wept during the crucifixion. Jesus was there with us. A.L.S. had destroyed Richards’s body but his faith in Christ was strong. His last message to me was,“It’s nice to have good people with me, thank you for coming. You don’t have to talk, just be here.”

We never spoke again.His wife called after supper and asked that I come.

Richard was gasping for his last breaths on earth. His young heart was strong and all evening he fought for air like a drowning man. After midnight he calmed down, exhausted from his final run toward home. Minutes passed between gasps and sighs. Within the hour he left.

Outside his window it was spring, lilacs were bloom-ing and the ball fields green. We buried his ashes in a handmade box beside the Thompson River. It’s what Richard wanted.
