    When Crestons Tom Taylor visited Granville Island Brewing recently, he didnt expect to find a new brew called Vintage 1984. Even more surprising was to see his image on the beer case that holds 12 bottles.

    Taylor was in Vancouver for a mini-reunion with two of his broth-ers, including Mitch Taylor, who was one of the original founding partners of Granville Island Brewing, Canadas first microbrewery.

    Mitch asked if there was anything I wanted to do and I said Id like to visit the brewery to see Vern Lambourne, the brewmaster, said Taylor. When we walked into the brewery I saw that old photo of me from 1984 on the cases I had no idea!

    The photo depicts Taylor loading beer cases onto a vintage truck.

    Taylor had worked at Columbia Brewery for 13 years when he got a call from his brother in 1983. Mitch and partner Bill Harvey were starting a microbrewery and would he come out to Vancouver to work for them?

    Crestons ability to attract new business is being hampered by the lack of high-speed Internet availability, Creston town council was told at the Sept. 10 regular meeting.

    KC Dyer, a local computer network specialist, told council that current service for businesses in the downtown core is woefully lacking. While both Telus (ADSL) and Shaw (cable) promise reasonable download speeds 15 megabits per second (Mbps) and 25 Mbps, respectively businesses are unable to upload data.

    Most Kootenay communities (including Cranbrook, Kimberley, Nelson and Castlegar) have higher speeds and others, like Rossland, are working on it, Dyer said. We are losing business opportunities because there is no high-speed service in sight.

    Many corporate systems already have, or are developing, online web management frameworks that require image and document uploading for records, such as real estate and medical data, and government contracts.

    From page 1A community-driven fibre optic network

    approach has been adopted by other towns in the region and Dyer implored Creston to take the first step by partnering with Columbia Basin Trust which approached town council in April 2012 regarding broadband Internet to conduct a feasibility study that would assess local needs and the ability to deliver better ser-vice in a cost-effective manner. Fibre optic cables run to Creston but arent being used except in a few cases.

    CBT will help pay for a business feasibility/viability study if the municipality is already con-vinced that it is needed, but needs help on decid-ing how to best implement it in a cost-effective and/or profitable manner, he said.

    Funds could be available from other sources to help offset the actual costs of installing and operating a high-speed system, he added.

    But eventually this will happen anyway? Mayor Ron Toyota asked.

    Probably, but it could be 10 years away and local businesses will lose out and our ability to attract new business will be lower, Dyer responded.

    Steffan Klassen, the towns finance and corpo-rate services director, said that the Town of Creston will eventually need high-speed upload-ing capabilities to comply with new technology demands.

    After some discussion, council passed a reso-lution directing staff to prepare a report regard-ing the formation of a select committee of coun-cil and stakeholders to prepare a stakeholder review, needs assessment, and draft strategy and goals for council to consider. The goal is to do enough groundwork to aid the CBT in conduct-ing a feasibility/viability study.

    Council BriefsCouncil members endorsed International

    Walk to School Week, a program designed to raise awareness about child fitness and involve

    parents in encouraging their children to walk more.

    From Oct. 4-7, parents will be encouraged to drop their children off three blocks from school so they can walk the remaining distance. School bus drivers will do the same. Some councillors will participate by walking with students and the town will co-operate in helping set up traffic cones in a three-block radius around participat-ing schools.

    A request from an Arrowsmith Road prop-erty owner for support in getting his land removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve was referred to staff for a report, which will be completed by the Sept. 24 meeting.

    Council approved a $250 donation from the discretionary fund to the Cops for Kids in con-junction with the groups annual ride through southern B.C. Toyota reported that he was per-sonally matching the donation and also collect-ing donations from others.

    Toyota and Couns. Tanya Ducharme and Wesly Graham were appointed to a select com-mittee, along with some staff members, which is planning for the 2014 Association of Kootenay Boundary Local Governments annual confer-ence, which will be held in Creston.

    Creston is joining other Kootenay communi-ties in a study that will examine the possibility to create a mobile business licence for the region. Such a licence would allow businesses to operate throughout the region without purchasing busi-ness licences in each community.

    Council voted to support Nelson Mayor John Dooley in his attempt to get the Union of BC Municipalities to pressure the provincial government to increase funding for community colleges.

    A request from Columbia Brewery to rezone a neighboring property was approved so that it could advance to a public hearing stage, in which property owners in the vicinity will be notified of the intent and be given the opportu-nity to respond. The property is designated as industrial in the Official Community Plan but rezoning from residential to light industrial sta-tus has never been requested by the owners, who reside on the property.

    The Cops for Kids arrived in Creston as part of their annual 10-day ride on Sept. 10.

    The team of 20 rid-ers and seven support crew arrived at Overwaitea Foods, followed by dinner at the Masonic Lodge. After a night at the Ramada Hotel, they had breakfast at ABC Country Restaurant before continuing.

    Cops for Kids are

    RCMP members from Southern Interior communities commit-ted to assisting chil-dren that are in medi-cal, physical or trau-matic crisis. Donations on this visit to Creston included $1,000 from the Columbia Brewery, and $1,000 raised by Creston Mayor Ron Toyota.

  • BY LORNE ECKERSLEYAdvance Staff

    When Linda Price was named the 2013 recipient of the fourth annual Creston Community Literacy Award it didnt come as a surprise to those who know her.

    Price has a long history of working with refugee families in Creston, and in Calgary before she and her husband, Don, retired. In Calgary, her friendship with a refugee family led her to become an English language tutor.

    It was amazing how I got into tutoring because I dont have a

    background in teaching, but we did have one our children who had a tutor for her reading, so I kind of learned a lot there, said Price.

    Her first foray came when her friend learned she was losing her job in a hospital laundry as a result of reorganization.

    Her husband asked me if I would take the job of being her tutor, she recalled.

    Only a short time earlier, Don had informed her that their most recent trip to volunteer in Guatemala would have to be their last as they had to focus on financ-es as he prepared for retirement.

    I said to him, If I can find a little job to make some money, can we go back one more time?

    She initially refused to con-sider tutoring her friend, even though there was funding avail-able to pay for the work.

    I said No, I dont have any training, and then I went and talked to Dons secretary, think-ing she might be able to do it or recommend someone who could.

    She said, If they are your friends, they trust you, so you will be her best tutor. I tutored

    her through two sessions and I made $2,500. It was perfect. God helped me get back to Guatemala and I was able to give Bonnie her lessons.

    In the process, Price learned she had a passion for working one-on-one with people who need to develop their language skills.

    Tutoring is so much fun and its really rewarding. After that I had the confidence.

    She continued in Calgary and then connected with Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy when she and Don moved to Creston, where they also became involved with the Creston Refugee Committee. She had always worked with women and her first CBAL assignment was with a woman.

    And then they paired me with a man and I learned that its really fun to teach men they are so conscientious and its been really good working with them, she laughed.

    One of her most rewarding experiences was in working with a Taiwanese man who was not a refugee.

    Taupis worked so hard, she said. Now, five years later, if you meet him on the street and talk to him you will hardly hear an accent.

    Price credits CBAL for having an excellent training program for tutors.

    And Linda (Steward, commu-nity literacy co-ordinator) is so good about having meetings about the latest stuff thats avail-able. She treats the volunteers so well and there are always good snacks while you are there, too!

    I found some books I really liked and right away she ordered more shes been really good that way. They do have some really good resources here.

    Tutoring doesnt always involve teaching basic language skills, Price said. Recently, she was tutoring one man to get his Food Safe certificate, another for his Canadian citizenship test and a third for his learners licence.

    He passed after failing 22 times, she said of a man who had only been in Canada for six months. There are no translated materials for Karin, the language he speaks, so it was a real challenge he just

    worked and worked and worked at it. I got so tired of teaching words that we dont use in every-day language. But now I am really up to date on driving laws!

    She is constantly on the look-out for new materials, especially photos to make into flash cards that illustrate words. She some-times turns those flash cards into playing cards to play Go Fish. She combines language teaching with lessons on manners.

    If you take a card and dont say thank you, you have to give the card back, she smiled. And we get lots of laughs!

    Price said tutoring is reward-ing and recommends the work to anyone who likes working with people.

    You dont have to be a teach-er you just have to love the people you are working with, she said. Pretty soon you get so they are part of your family and you are part of their family. Its been a really good experience. Its really rewarding.

    BY BRIAN LAWRENCEAdvance Editor

    Decades since they met, 12 seniors from around the province gath-ered at Lister Park on Saturday to celebrate 60 years since they attended the Youth Training School.

    They were joined at the reunion by Allan Deschamps, principal of the program at the University of British Columbia, which ran each January and February for about two decades.

    We had the facilities at one of the old Army camps, and it was my responsibility to put together the program for the two months, said the 88-year-old Deschamps.

    The program was sub-sidized by the federal and provincial governments, and, based on archived photos at the UBC web-site, ran from 1939-1959. It allowed B.C.s rural youth aged 16-30 to attend UBC for two months at a cost of just $30, with boys

    studying agriculture and girls learning homemak-ing, as well as seeing what other education was available.

    For a self-proclaimed country boy like Crestons Alf Wellspring and Crestons Lew Truscott, Paul Shersteboff and Mervin Montgomery, who attended in other years it was a chance too good to pass up.

    How could I know what there was for educa-tion without going there? Wellspring said. It was not a lot of education, but finding out where to go to get it.

    Also, and perhaps more, important were the friendships that devel-oped between the 65 members of Wellsprings 1953 class they have regularly gotten together every two years.

    The friendships that were started there have lasted, said Wellspring. Im sure we enjoy friend-ships that a lot of people dont.

    Brian LawrenceMembers of the Youth Training Schools 1953 class were in Creston for their 60-year reunion. Front row: (from left) Arnold Amonson, Gwen McKinnon, Joey Smith, Marie Graham, Lorraine Bosshardt; back row (from left): Ron Gelbert, John Naka, Harold Kerr, principal Allan Deschamps, Ray English, Chris Hoff, Alf Wellspring, Barry French.

    Cpl. Monty Taylor expressed sadness at the recent passing of Pat Folick, who died Sept. 2. Folick started work as a guard at the Creston detach-ment after a career in banking.

    For the past 20 years, Pat was always willing to come in for his shifts when called and was very accom-modating, Taylor said. He was a very loyal and trustworthy individual who had a kind heart and a sense of humour which was accompanied by his big warm smile. All Creston detachment employees and ex-employees will miss Pat.

    The 80-year-old Creston resident was born Aug. 26, 1933, in Macklin, Sask., and is survived by his wife, Lorna, children and grandchildren.

    FIRE TRUCK & EQUIPMENTFOR SALE BY TENDER

    REGIONAL DISTRICT OF CENTRAL KOOTENAY

    From page 1I knew the brewery business pretty well. I

    started out on the bottling line and did a lot of jobs. I didnt actually brew here but I did work in the cellars and I was always watching and asking questions. All they were doing was what I was doing later following a recipe, he laughed.

    Equipment at the new brewery ranged from a used bottle washer to a state-of-the-art filler, brought in and installed by a company from Milwaukee.

    I worked long hours, he said. Early in the morning, at about 6 a.m., I started brewing, mak-ing 200-gallon batches.

    The companys first trained brewmaster, a new university graduate from Germany, arrived soon after, but Taylor continued brewing, super-vising employees and even making deliveries, all while his brother was off working on other development projects.

    He made those deliveries in a truck that con-tinues to have a life and story of its own, a 1936 Ford Model B pickup.

    Taylor first saw the truck in 1975 when he was driving to Sandpoint, Idaho, to take flying les-sons.

    It was love at first sight, he said.But it took him months to muster up the cour-

    age to stop and talk to the owner of the property where the truck was parked. Eventually, at the prompting of his son, Larry, Taylor knocked on the door. Assuring the owner that he wanted to restore it, and not turn it into a hot rod, an agree-ment was struck and he paid US$375 for the vintage vehicle.

    Are you out of your mind? You paid what for that that old piece of junk? was his wife Ednas reaction.

    It took two years and a lot of help from friends to restore the truck and he was thrilled to

    drive it in the 1978 Blossom Festival parade. In 1979, though, the family moved to a property on Crusher Road and they needed to come up with money to drill a new water well. Taylor sold the Model B to Mitch and it became Granville Island Brewings mascot years later.

    Its still at the brewery, Taylor said. I couldnt believe it.

    The old treasure is now owned by Lambourne, who asked Tom if he wanted to go for a ride in it.

    We drove out to Jericho Beach and he asked if I wanted to drive it back to the brewery, where it is still stored. Vern was surprised when I got into the drivers seat and put my foot on the clutch. You still know how to do that? he

    laughed.In addition to his

    many duties in those early days at the new microbrewery, Taylor became a familiar sight around Granville Island and downtown Vancouver, delivering cases of beer to pubs and stores. Wood sign-boards mounted on the truck box sides adver-tised the brewerys name.

    His career in the microbrewing lasted only three years, a com-bination of burnout and Ednas unhappiness with city life.

    One day, the brew-master breezed into the

    shop for an hour or two (I never knew where he was most of the time.) and then headed for the door, announcing, Im going skiing for three weeks.

    What? When do I get a day off? Taylor asked.

    Well, youll have to talk to your brother, the brewmaster said.

    I said, I think I will. Have a good trip, said Taylor. But I quit.

    Mitch went over to Tom and Ednas condo on False Creek and asked what was wrong.

    Im just tired, physically and mentally I can only take so much of this, Taylor replied. He spent a couple of hours trying to talk me out of it. The next day I had a U-Haul truck loaded and we drove back to Creston.

    Taylor chuckled as he looked at his image on the Granville Island Brewing case of Vintage 1984.

    You should get royalties for that, my brothers joked when we first saw it at the brewery, he laughed. But I told them Im not a model!

    Asked to describe the bottles contents, he said the beer was not as dark as we used to make it, and theyve reduced the alcohol to five per cent ours was eight per cent!

    But when its ice cold, I really enjoy it.

  • There is a delightful irony in the latest social engineering scheme announced by the Quebec provincial government.

    If the state is neutral, those work-ing for the state should be equally neutral in their image, said the minister in charge of the charter, Bernard Drainville, as reported in the Globe and Mail.

    So, no Muslim heads-carves, Sikh turbans, Jewish kippas (yarmulkes) and other overt religious sym-bols for the public service, says Drainville (whose name could be the answer to What do the Quebecois call the emigration of some of the provinces best brains when the provincial government unleashes yet another social engi-neering scheme on its non-French-descendent citizenry?). OK are discreet cross pendants or Star of David rings. No mention about tiny turbans or subtle skullcaps, though. Catholics have a divine right to wear crosses and Jews get a bit of a pass, but Sikhs and Muslims can go suck eggs, though, provided that egg sucking isnt associated with their religious practices.

    All this in the name of maintain-ing a secular society, say the laws proponents. To be honest, I didnt catch the name of the person defending the law on Jian Ghomeshis CBC Radio morning show on Friday, but I couldnt help but smile at his response to a ques-tion about whether the large cross that adorns a wall in the Quebec parliament would be removed.

    That would be ridiculous, he scoffed. Its part of our cultural heri-tage, as is the naming of many streets and buildings in Quebec after Roman Catholic saints.

    So let me get this straight if your particular ethnic group is the first to arrive in a land (would it be hair-splitting to mention that Indians preceded French and other European settlers by thousands of years?) then your ostentatious use of religious symbols and names is cul-tural heritage. But the symbols of others who came late to the party are overt promotions of their reli-gions and therefore a detriment to a secular society.

    What happens when Quebecs First Nations tribes decide to take offense at the use of Roman Catholic symbols and names? Can they call firstsies and have them removed? Oh, no, and not because they are in a minority, but because their people dont form the government.

    Isnt Quebec really Canadas least secular province? Isnt Qubcois cul-ture closely intertwined with that of the Roman Catholic church? Dont residents mark Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day as one of the highlights of the

    year? Isnt it a statutory public holi-day, giving workers a paid saints feast day off? How on earth does one explain away this very Roman Catholic celebration as fitting in with

    a secular society?Quebec, with its desper-

    ate obsession with regulating language and now religious expression, seems to me to be in danger of becoming an anachronistic society, a liv-ing but barely breathing paean to a past that wasnt particularly glorious. Unlike the Amish, though, who remain comfortable enough

    in their own skins to live as they did a century ago, Qubcois, or at least their rulers, seem to want the best of all worlds. They want to be treated as major players in Canadian affairs, despite their disproportionately small portion of the population. They want to have all the benefits of modern society and yet to keep their feet rooted in the past. Most danger-ously, they want to dictate personal behavior and dress, which is as wrong-headed as discriminating on the basis of skin colour or, well, reli-gious belief.

    I doubt that soldiers who fought along side turban-wearing Sikhs in the First and Second World War trenches spent much time worrying about the headgear.

    We should all learn to play nice with others. Like it or not, it wont be too many generations before the shoe is on the other foot and the scarf is on the other head.

    A ubiquitous feature of the tradi-tional public library is its large refer-ence section, stocked with encyclope-dias, dictionaries, government docu-ments and other items too large or expensive to loan out.

    You might be surprised, then, to see our reference sec-tion, which now consists of a measly half-dozen items: 2012 Electrical Codes and related items (four volumes), 2013 Criminal Code and a copy of The Limits of Sanity, a rare volume detailing the 1970 murders in West Creston.

    What happened?In a word, the world changed.

    Wikipedia has demolished the ency-clopedia business, spell check and online dictionaries have rendered print dictionaries obsolete, and gov-ernment information is freely acces-sible online 24 hours a day.

    Some of you may mourn the loss of these relics of yesteryear. Personally, I love books, and have stubbornly resisted acquiring an e-reader, but as more and more authors turn to publishing e-book-only editions while publishers struggle to make a profit, I can see the writing on the wall. But I cant remember the last time I looked up a word in a print dictionary, or turned to an encyclopedia for infor-

    mation. Some things really are easi-er online.

    Unfortunately, not everyone has the same access to the Internet, and a large part of the population in particular, seniors and the economi-

    cally disadvantaged is falling behind. As a public library, it is an important part of our mandate to address this so-called digital divide, and to help those who need some guidance in these changing times.

    Every Saturday morning from 10 a.m.-12 p.m., the library offers one-on-one computer assistance from our resident technical guru, Andrew Feltham. Andrew will take on all questions, from how to hold a mouse to how to download e-books.

    Andrew was recently joined by a Community Access Program youth intern, Ian MacKay, who is available most days after school to assist you with your technical needs. Ian is also

    working on a unique project called Tech Connect, which involves match-ing local seniors with computer savvy youth from Prince Charles Secondary School.

    All of our staff is capable and will-ing to help with common computer tasks printing government forms, basic Internet searching, word pro-cessing and so forth. If you need assistance, all you need to do is ask.

    The library offers nine public Internet stations equipped with Microsoft Office, along with three iPads for public use. We also offer

    Wi-Fi and electrical outlets for recharging your devices throughout the library, and 24 hour a day Wi-Fi outside the library. You can make free local calls from our office phone, and keep in touch with relatives across the world through Skype in the com-fort of a private office. We can even help you digitize your record or VHS collection. All of this is free of charge, and does not require a library card.

    Of course, if all you really want is a good old fashioned dictionary to look up a word, we can help you there too: 423 in our non-fiction sec-tion. And you can take it home with you.

    Aaron Francis is the chief librarian at the Creston and District Public Library.

    Technology makes library a place for more than just books

  • We are living in an age of electronic gadgetry, which for the elderly is often frustrating. However, some of that elec-tronic technology can save a persons life following an accident or sudden illness, break-in, fire or gas leakage.

    A personal alarm is a friendly reassur-ance of immediate help, and can be worn either around the neck, as a watch or on a belt. It means that if you are gardening and suddenly cant get up, no one is with you and you are desperate, by pressing the alarm, help can be summoned. If you have an accident and are conscious, help is just the press of the alarm button away. There is no need for embarrassment. This service helps people stay in their homes safely as they get older and remain inde-pendent Many alarms are waterproof so they can be worn in the shower or bath.

    There are different companies offer-ing this service. For more details ask at the pharmacy.

    Gas monitors are important safety alarms to warn of gas leakage, and as some gases have no smell, the monitor can save lives by recording the level of danger and making a penetrating loud noise that even the hard of hearing can usually hear.

    When you have a gas monitor in the home, it is important to understand how it works. Waking up in the night to

    an ear-shattering beep is frightening. It is important that you read the little screen on the front of the monitor. It tells you when there is danger, together with the loud beep, and means, Phone 911 and get out of the house quickly.

    The other day we heard of an elderly lady who awoke in the night to an ear-shattering continuous beep. She removed the CO monitor from the wall. To her horror, it kept beeping. She became quite nervous and was only half awake, so she put it outside the house as she didnt know what to do. The noise was so penetrating, she wrapped it in a blanket and left it outside. She went back to bed and worried. Who could she phone in the middle of the night?

    Now she didnt know if this was a real scare or why it wouldnt stop screaming after it was removed from the wall. Because it is a CO and natural

    gas monitor, it gives warning of deadly gas and should be dealt with immedi-ately. As CO has no smell, a person can die quickly without any knowledge of the danger. A battery ensures that the monitor works even when there is a power outage.

    Make sure you can read and under-stand the little screen on the monitor. This tells you when the monitor is recording. It is necessary to read this screen to deter-mine whether the beep is warning you to get out of the house, or if it is just a faulty battery. If you cant read the monitor and it is continuous beeping, call 911 anyway and explain the situation. Prepare to leave the house until help arrives, take a warm jacket, wear socks and take a flash-light in case you need to wait a few min-utes. Such an alarm signals your need to act immediately.

    According to the fire department, it is important to change batteries in any alarm/monitor every six-nine months. The monitors too have a life of about five years and should be replaced. It is important to keep a list of monitors and batteries with renewal dates somewhere obvious. Your life may be saved by pay-ing attention to these safety measures.

    To the Editor:(Re: Apology for tearing up petitions,

    Sept. 12 Advance, page 7)Thank you, Mr. Cook, for having the

    courage and integrity to admit your wrongdoing and to apologize to those who may have been hurt or offended. He is a kind and decent man whose emotions temporarily short-circuited his brain. It happens to all of us at one time or another.

    In his letter, Cook says, My frustra-tion level reached a boiling point and I lashed out. Well, guess what? He was not the only one whose emotions boiled over. During the alternative approval process (AAP) fiasco, a few very vocal opponents lashed out in anger, not just against the AAP, but also against the Pet Adoption and Welfare Society (PAWS). In the heat of the moment, things were said that were untrue, yet repeated often enough and angrily enough that some people have come to accept them as true.

    Keep in mind that PAWS did not ask for the AAP, and PAWS has done noth-ing to deserve this attack on its charac-ter. For 17 years now, thanks to the generosity of its supporters, the organi-zation has provided a valuable service to this community. Good will is the sin-gle most important requirement for its continued operation. And it is that good will that has taken a hit.

    Recently, a downtown business owner told me she thought the destruc-tion of the petitions was the worst thing to happen during this AAP deba-cle. I disagree. The AAP is now history. End of story. However, the unwarrant-ed damage to PAWS reputation will take some time to repair.

    There are many ways you can help to get PAWS back on its feet: become a PAWS member, become a volunteer, make a donation, participate in the pet therapy program for schools and senior centres, organize a fundraising event,

    attend the upcoming events. There will be Thanksgiving and Christmas bake sales at Extra Foods, an all-you-can-eat Ukrainian supper Oct. 9 at the Creston Valley Seniors Centre, Santa photos Dec. 1 at Morris Flowers Garden Centre, a Christmas gala banquet and dance Dec. 14 at the community complex, and also a Christmas raffle. There are more events planned for the new year, including a family-friendly comedy night (Raise the Woof) in March at Prince Charles Theatre. For tickets and details, call PAWS.

    If you would like to learn more about PAWS and its services to the communi-ty, call 250-428-PAWS or visit www.paws-crestonbc.org. Better still, go down to the shelter.

    To the Editor:For a start, DriveAble suspects

    seniors of being demented. Two tests are put on for the phony show of DriveAble. I drove 500 kilometres for this and failed. Regardless of how well a person does on the test, out of 100 persons about 90 will fail the test. It is made up this way. There is absolutely no common sense to it.

    All of the people of B.C. will lose a part of their freedom with this DriveAble nonsense, big time! Among the seniors of today and the rest of you tomorrow, there will be plenty of house arrests for the rest of your life, all because they did no wrong to anybody. For we seniors, this is the worst punishment in many years. This is from our own government.

    Freedom is much more important than DriveAble, and telling us this was done for our own good and safety and that of the other users of the road. Freedom of the people, by the people,

    for the people will not be taken by the B.C. Ministry of Justice, not even a teeny part of it.

    To make the road safe and prevent accidents, there is a simple solution: Make every driver take this nonsensical DriveAble test. That will get us only 10 per cent of all the drivers on the road today. The rest of them will fail. That should solve the problem for all of us, including the people who came up with the stupid DriveAble idea.

    Please restore our drivers licences for us. We are the demented seniors who made it possible for your pay-cheque to be in the mail.

    To the Editor:I have delayed in writing regarding

    the expenses charged to taxpayers by members of the Senate. I have noticed that some members have decided to conveniently resign to avoid prosecu-tion. I find it outrageous that these peo-ple are not held accountable for their actions. I venture to say that every one of those will escape going to jail.

    I would like to remind readers that in one of my last letters, there was a warning about what is happening now. I also petition the Harper government to have an elected Senate in lieu of the present appointed Senate.

    My wish is that someone with pure integrity can come forward to lead us into forming a good government to make us proud to call ourselves Canadians. Is it too much to ask for? I dont think so.

    I feel we have the authority to do housecleaning. Lets do it now. I, for one, wont stop until I get satisfaction.

    This is a fair warning. Dont take it as a threat but a promise.

  • So, Im the new kid on the block, or, I should say, the new senior on the block at the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors.

    Terry Nowak, who has been the familiar and fabu-lous champion and supporter of the TAPS program for so many years, has retired. Taking her place means big shoes to fill. Enjoy your free time, Terry, although having

    seen her at the TAPS building quite a few times already, I expect well still be benefiting from her kind attention, tireless service and smiling face.

    It may take some time for me to grasp all that has been created for and by TAPS partici-pants, and how Ill fulfill this role in continu-ing to help make that happen. But it just took my first visit to feel the welcoming environ-ment, to see and hear how everyone is acknowl-edged, respected and cared for. I have huge admiration for the leadership, creativity and hard work, as well as the generosity of donors and partners in keeping TAPS in Creston all these years. Creston folks, you should be proud to know the excellence of this program and the effort that goes into the smallest of details in caring for our seniors at a time when they need it.

    Terry has reported recently on the summer student program through the federal govern-ment. This years student, Wendy, has gone now after making a great contribution. She helped along with other things to make the staycation program flourish, wherein TAPS participants enjoyed local activities and events.

    way in shaping this individual.Backing away from this heady stuff but

    along the same tangent, programs play a major part in what we provide to you at the community complex and may be fitness based, aquatics, general interest stuff like that. Programs require instructors and while it would be great if we could take the most fan-tastic instructor available and clone them, that technology at present has just gone as far a sheep that doesnt quite meet our skill set requirement. But guess what? We already have fantastic instructors, all different and some at various levels in their careers, but all are passionate about what they are doing. As patrons, you may see a number of different instructors over your visits here and we appre-ciate your feedback on the good ones and your patience on the ones learning and not quite at that level. Great instructors did not start as great instructors. That leads to another tool that we can provide the ability to own your own workout.

    Those of you that work out regularly have learned there are modifications typically offered by the instructor during the class kind of low, medium and hard variations of a particular move or a couple different methods to ease up or bear down more, depending where you want to be. Certain classes also focus on different levels so its important you select the right one to begin with. The bottom line is that the instructor is the guide it is ultimately up to you how hard you push yourself as to what kind of workout you get.

    I see it when Im swimming. I can kind of halfheartedly breaststroke down the lane and not get my heart above the same rate as lying on the couch watching Coronation Street or I can bear down to the point where that vein on my forehead is visibly pulsing and Im getting nosebleeds. I like to stay somewhere in the middle.

    So, take control of your workout and stay tuned for a workshop that will get into depth on just how to do that. If you have certain requirements or limitations, speak to your instructor before you start or sign up. If you are not getting anything out of a class, talk to the instructor for modifications that will improve it for you or find out why it isnt working rather than just not showing up again. Not only might that benefit you, it may assist the instructor in improving the class for others. Even if we arent able to perhaps help with certain circumstances, we certainly want to get feedback for the planning process in developing programs to better suit you. Try us we dont bite, but we might get your heart rate up.

    Another student program funded through the New Horizons for Seniors is starting with special needs students from the high school. TAPS co-ordinator Bridget Currie reports that this was very successful last year, and Ill be able to let you know what they are up to next month.

    There are many partnerships that have developed between TAPS seniors and volunteers and the community. The resulting projects are always a win-win as the seniors participate in many hands-on activities, sharing knowledge and encouragement in a group, and knowing they are helping another group with their fundraising efforts for others. The Telus ambassa-dors are one such group, providing seniors groups with materials to cre-ate items, which they in turn sell to support even more groups. The vol-unteer hours put in are kept track of, and Telus ambassadors pay the

    seniors for their work. Every year there is a theme that

    guides Bridgets choices of programs to develop. Last year, it was produc-tive seniors, and my, they were busy. This year it is healthy brain, and to start things off, there is a new program running twice a week at TAPS called Mind, Memory and Motion. Check out the new College of the Rockies course guide. Well have more on that next month.

    Here is a quoted passage from the East Kootenay Caregivers Network fall 2013 newsletter: Research shows there are three areas to consider when you plan to maintain and improve the health of your brain: your body, your mind, and your spirit.

    But why is brain health important? Actively keeping your brain in good shape will help you stay mentally sharp as you age. Research increasingly confirms that taking these steps now

    may reduce your risk of developing Alzheimers disease or another form of dementia.

    On another note, the seniors and staff and volunteers send out a loud thanks to all who have donated food this sum-mer and fall, from your gardens to the community greenhouse program to Harvest Share. Healthy meals are made in the kitchen, and you should see the seniors tucking plums and cucumbers in their bags for the trip home. Imagine if you couldnt garden any more, and how grateful youd be for homegrown yumminess!

    If you are a senior or anyone with a little time on your hands and would like to contribute from time to time, do con-tact Bridget at TAPS (250-428-5585) to explore projects she might need a hand with.

    Maureen Cameron is an outreach worker with the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors.

    I remember back in Grade 4 or 5 hearing about the Grade 6 teacher whom I was destined to end up with (pending actually passing the previous levels) and the associated

    horror stories of her authoritarian rule over the masses. Turns out, once I arrived at that point, and established that I wasnt a repeat of my brother who preceded me by a year, she was actually a pretty darn good teacher.

    Flash forward to raising our kids

    and a repeat performance in a simi-lar grade, except now you had the freedom to move your kid to a dif-ferent school at your choosing to avoid real or perceived future con-

    flict. Unfor-tunately, for our child in this case, the parental guidance units felt that one can-not choose things like future bosses, work-mates and neigh-bours, and what better way to

    start learning to deal with the rich tapestry of people that will cross your path in life than childhood. Guess what? It turned out to be another good teacher and our child is now a contributing member of society, which to me indicates we all had some influence along the

    Modifications offer workout control
