Rides available for health visits

Saturday, Nov. 23

$1.10

Help is available for Boundary residents needing transportation to medical appointments or visits to care centres. “We offer a driving service to people who are unable to have their own rides,” explained Christine Brooks, Boundary Area Volunteer Driver Program office manager. “Whether there is no family or they are not available for transportation when anything like a dental or doctor appointment is scheduled, even if they need to go to the drug store to renew a prescription. Anything medical related, we have volunteer drivers who will drive people to their appointments no matter where it is—even as distant as Kelowna, Penticton, Trail, Nelson or Castlegar.” Brooks explained that because some clients may have mobility issues or other unique needs, an intake interview is done over the phone to make sure their needs are accommodated. “They are matched up with the driver and vehicle that most closely suits them and their needs.” If a client wants their spouse or caregiver to accompany them, then they are accommodated as well. Referral to the service might come from a medical practitioner, community care worker or the client himself or herself. The Boundary Area Volunteer Driver Program is possible through the sharing of resources and abilities of three groups: Boundary Community Hospice Association manages the service; joining them to provide ride services in the West Boundary are the Kettle River Seniors (Branch #102) with their Wheels of Wellness vehicle; and thirdly, Interior Health. There is a charge for the service to cover fuel and maintenance of the vehicle. Subsidy is available based on need, and rates may vary depending on pickup location. “The program wouldn’t exist without our drivers,” said Brooks. “They are amazing people. We have a list of clients who request certain drivers because they have bonded with them and gotten to know them and they take them to their regular appointments.” Volunteer drivers must have a valid driver’s license, do a criminal records check (costs will be reimbursed) and have a driver’s abstract done. Brooks has information packages available with all of the appropriate forms for those interested in the service either as a client or volunteer driver. For more information contact them at 250-584-4618 or, in the case of clients living in the West Boundary using the Wheels of Wellness, contact Isabella (Issy) McLean at 250-446-2977.

The Fun Spot

Quote of the Week: Old age is not so bad when you consider the alternatives. ~ Maurice Chevalier (1888 - 1972) Joke of the Week: A customs officer at the Mexican border noticed a man coming across one day on a bicycle with two small sacks tied to the handlebars. He naturally got suspicious and asked him to open the sacks, but when he did he found nothing but sand. This went on every day for the nest month. Each time he’d stop the bicycle and open the sacks, and he’d find only sand. A few years later, he ran into the biker in a restaurant in Tijuana. After some small talk he said, “Come on . I know you were smuggling something all that time. I won’t tell. I’m just curious. What was it?” The other man said, “Bicycles.”

Vital Signs report updated Submitted

Launching a new Vital Signs project in the next few months, the Phoenix Foundation of the Boundary Communities invites you to join them at their annual community social. The evening of networking, refreshments and sharing demonstrates the foundation’s ties to their community and the organizations who do so much to help so many. Along with presentations from the founding directors, the evening will explore the current strategic vision of the Foundation along with launching two

new initiatives: Boundary Vital Signs and the 1.8 x 18 campaign. Vital Signs is a community check-up conducted by community foundations across Canada. Each Vital Signs report measures the vitality of its community in key areas, providing the community with critical information that can help set priorities and identify opportunities for action. Vital Signs was first started by the Toronto Community Foundation in 2001, after a group of civic leaders came up with a new way to engage their community in understanding and monitor-

ing the health and vitality of Toronto on an ongoing basis. In 2006, Vital Signs became a national program and it continues to grow every year, both across Canada and internationally. Community foundations develop a broad picture of their community using relevant national data and identifying local research on a wide range of subject areas. The Vital Signs report allows foundations to involve their community at every level, from determining the report’s indicators, exploring research sources, and assigning grades. These reports help communities make connections between issues and trends in different areas. The findings are presented in a reader-friendly format that provides a snapshot of quality of life and community vitality. Come on out to enjoy the evening with friends and learn more about the ways the Phoenix Foundation of the Boundary Communities is building a better Boundary, on Thursday, Nov. 14 at gallery 2 in Grand Forks, 6 p.m. Admission is by donation, hors d’oeuvres and beverages available along with a cash bar. Foundation director Leda Leander presents an agency endowment cheque to Connie Marchal of the Boundary Women’s Coalition.

Mt. Baldy facing uncertainty

Mt. Baldy ski hill is facing uncertainty about the coming season. Season passes are not yet for sale, though management told CBC Radio last week they are asking those interested in purchasing them when they are available to register with the office. Brush control and painting of the lodge will have to wait for next summer, but lots of local skiers and boarders are anxiously awaiting developments. According to Castanet, an online Okanagan-

based news source (castanet.net), mountain manager Matt Koenig says it is related to a financial matter. But he is hopeful the lifts will run this winter. According to Castanet the ski area opened in 1968, has two chairlifts and a magic carpet. There is also a lodge, a rental shop and around 100 cabins. Online reports indicate that management is hopeful they will be able to sort their cash flow problems in time to open in December.

Sports in short The Atom Predators will be on home ice in Midway arena this Sunday, Nov. 10 at 9 a.m. vs. Castlegar2. The Pee Wee Predators have two wins and one loss into the season so far. They too will be on home ice this Sunday. Their game against Greater Trail1 starts at 11 a.m. Midgets have a win and tie so far this season—no losses and overall they’ve outscored their opponents 9-7. They have this weekend off, not playing again until Sunday, Nov. 17 at 2:15 in Midway.

For the record

Of late the Times has printed a few errors that need to be corrected for the record. •We printed the wrong date for last week’s Federation of BC Woodlot Associations meeting on the implications of the Species at Risk Act for both woodlot and private landowners. Our error was especially unfortunate in that we posted the date as being one day after the actual event. Our apologies. •In the same issue a caption on page 12 con-

tained a misspelling of Leda Fair’s name. • Lastly, the Oct. 24 article about Heather Hollingsworth’s painting being accepted for showing in a Federation of Canadian Artists exhibition in Vancouver incorrectly named the painting “Heavy Mist at Hampstead Ranch”. The correct title of the painting is “Heavy Mist at Hampshire Ranch”. We sincerely apologize for the mistakes.

After three terms in office, NDP MP Alex Atamanenko has announced that he will not be running in the next election. “I’ve been proud to serve the people of B.C. Southern Interior,” said Atamanenko. “As I look ahead to retirement in two years, I’d like to thank my constituents for electing me to represent their interests in Ottawa.”

Atamanenko has served the people of B.C. Southern Interior since his election in 2006. In that time, he has held several critic portfolios, including Food Security, Rural Affairs, and Agriculture. “I’d like to thank Alex for his contributions to our caucus and our movement,” said NDP Leader Tom Mulcair. “He has been a great representative for B.C. Southern Interior.” The next election is expected in 2015.

communities of interest. I bring over 23 years of business experience to the table. “With a start in property management at the age of 20, operating a retail operation, three contracting companies and a manufacturing plant employing 100 people over four years, I have a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by those entrepreneurs who risk everything. They are in fact the backbone of our local economies responsible for creating the majority of new jobs across our country. “My four top goals are; 1) to represent all the constituents of SOWK, 2) work to restore Canada’s standing in the world which has deteriorated significantly under the Harper regime, 3) focus efforts to support our environment and 4) address the issues around growing inequality that are rapidly eroding the middle class in our country. “I look forward to meaningful input from across the riding as I begin this adventure and I will do everything in my power to build upon Alex Atamanenko’s accomplishments during his time as our MP.“ The new boundaries for the riding of SOWK will now include Nakusp and Penticton but no longer contain Cawston, Keremeos, Hedley, Princeton, Kaslo and Nelson. The riding remains huge and Maximenko feels fortunate that Christina Lake is situated in the centre, therefore travel to address constituent and community issues can be accomplished effectively in either direction. The next federal election is widely believed to be held Oct. 19, 2015.

Rescue team invaluable When you are involved in an accident on the highway it is a blessing to know that trained and equipped emergency responders are on their way to help. It could be ambulance or police—or, if someone were pinned in a vehicle, it would be the highway rescue crew. The West Boundary Highway Rescue Unit (WBHR) is based in Midway and serves a huge geographical area: from Eholt on the east, to Bridesville on the west and as far north as Carmi. “We have the tools now and we have the training so that if they are not out of that vehicle we can do it as gently and as fast as possible,” WBHR Co-ordinator Larry Bowen told the Times. “They have already had their bump for the day, so they don’t really need another one from us.”

It takes a lot of specialized equipment and ongoing training to do the job of a highway rescue volunteer. In early October they had a threeday session to learn how to do low angle rope-rescue training. “If somebody is down over a bank, over in a large ditch or come off the side of a hill we can go down with a basket and retrieve them,” Bowen explained. Earlier this year the members received a three-day Auto Extrication 2 certification course. “That means that if cars are stacked on top of each other or if you have a larger vehicle or a car that has been run over top of, we have the ability to help the people without injuring them again.” WBHR also holds regular training sessions every two weeks. A recent eve-

ning was spent learning techniques for automobile fire suppression. Bowen said these courses are given through accredited instructors and that those completing each component receive certification. According to Bowen, the group has just received the go ahead to begin First Responders training, which he hopes will begin by the end of the year. Bowen himself is also an ambulance driver in Greenwood and a member of the Greenwood Volunteer Fire Department; but the giving to the community by this group of volunteers doesn’t stop there. For the last two years they have made themselves available when liquor is served at local dances. They offer a ride service that provides people a ride home if they need it. “We don’t have to go out on a call if we have prevented the call from happening,” Bowen said. The rescue unit currently has nine full-time and one part-time member. The property owners in Regional District Kootenay Boundary Area E, Midway and Greenwood fund WBHR as a regional district service. He invites anyone who might like to consider joining them to come out to a practice and watch. “If you decide that you want to join us, we are more than receptive to get you in the group.” For more information contact either Larry Bowen at 250-528-0349 or John Coburn at 449-2455.

WI fall workshop a huge success DELORES McNEE Submitted

Kettle River District Women’s Institute’s fall workshop held at the Bridesville Hall, hosted by the Bridesville Women’s Institute on Oct.16, was a huge success. The lively gathering of 46 ladies started the morning at 9 a.m. with coffee, muffins and fruit. At 9:30 a.m., Norma Tilgner, our Kettle River District Women’s Institute (KRWI) president, opened the morning with a warm welcome to all those attending, as well as comments regarding our upcoming WI National Triennial convention to be held in Kelowna in 2014. It will be our responsibility to help with the registration at that convention. Our first item on the workshop agenda was the demonstration of homemade peach/pineapple ice cream by Delores McNee. Recipes were handed out in order for everyone to follow along. The ice cream was made up to the custard stage at home and then put in the freezer. Other ingredients were added as the ice cream became more frozen. A second pan of frozen ice cream (to save time) was then put out on the table for everyone to sample. Many commented on how creamy and tasty it was. No automatic ice cream maker was necessary. Next came a “caddy can” idea made and shown by Roberta Chartier. Patterns were handed out and she talked about how the material was sewn and draped over the large coffee can to provide pockets for various uses, including paint brushes and paints; needles, pins

and thread; crayons and other small children’s items. At this point, a short coffee and stretch break was taken before lunch was served. We were able to peruse the silent auction items, plant table, books for sale, as well as the 16 decorated bras that were displayed, part of a competition to go along with our afternoon speaker from Esteem Lingerie Inc. from Kelowna. A delicious lunch of various kinds of soups as well as decorated openfaced sandwiches were on hand. A variety of scrumptious squares finished off the wonderful meal.

Norma shared a few hints on how to increase our memory as we age by staying active. Some suggestions were reading, doing puzzles of all sorts, dancing, keeping active, learning something new and many others. Our next presenter was Angela O’Brien and her mother, Florenda Pickett from Esteem Lingerie Inc. out of West Kelowna. Angela gave us a humourous

rendition on how to measure and fit a bra properly and we will not forget her “stoop, swoop, scoop and giggle” method to mold into a bra. Many were able to try on the bras right there, and Angela invited everyone to come to the store to be individually fitted. Angela handed out “The things they should have taught us in high school...dispelling the myths of bras” and “Laundry care secrets to success” in washing a bra. During the morning and early afternoon, each lady was given one ticket to vote on the most original and uniquely decorated bra. We had 16 entries and the winners were Wendy Tossevinen, Donna Scott and Ruth Champagne first to third respectively. Thank you to all the ladies who took the time to create these sensations. Winners were given a small prize for their efforts. A draw was also made for the door prize consisting of a hand-potted bowl containing local fruit. Thank you to Norma’s daughter for donating the clay bowl. Our final speaker, retired nurse Hazel Self, led us on a journey of Crisis Prevention in the Rural Setting, Basic First Aid, and Essential Home Medical Supplies that should be included in everyone’s first aid kit at home and in our car. Our gathering concluded at 3 p.m. Thank you to the Bridesville Women’s Institute for hosting this gathering. You did a great job of decorating and supplying all of our needs for a wonderful day!

THE BOUNDARY CREEK

A DIVISION OF BLACK PRESS – PRINTED EVERY THURSDAY. Mailing address: Box 99, Greenwood, B.C. V0H 1J0 Street address: 318 South Copper Avenue, Greenwood, B.C.

Lest we forget Please wear a poppy and turn out for a Remembrance Day Ceremony next Monday. The poppy is a bright red symbol of collective remembrance and appears on the lapel and collars of millions of Canadians. It is a reminder, a visual pledge that we must not forget those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Those words are said so often we tend to forget what they mean and have to think back to understand that ordinary people—men, women, sons, daughters — risked or gave their lives to preserve democracy and the Canadian way of life. Did they know what they were getting themselves into when they enlisted? Were they aware of what they might give up? Did they understand the significance of the conflicts they were involved in? We don’t know for sure but we do know we owe them a debt of remembrance and that’s why we wear the poppy. It’s not the wars we want to think about—wars are the cruelest method of solving conflicts or crises in our lives—instead we remember the young men and women who fought or the innocent who were caught up in these deadly conflicts. The Legion Remembrance Day program closes with ‘At the going down of the sun, we will remember them’. Remembrance Day is a time to remember all veterans —those who died and those who returned with the scars of war, both visible and not seen, to allow us to express our viewpoints, raise our families safely and live in a free country. Take the time, just an hour, out of your day next Monday to attend a remembrance service to support the Royal Canadian Legion members in their efforts.

New childrens’ club holds The Story of Food: For the 2nd and 4th Sundays a month for the The Next (twice Chapter inaugural meeting Submitted

The Kettle Valley Adventurer Club was officially organized at its first meeting on Oct. 8. The club meets twice a month from 4-6 p.m,. usually every second Tuesday (first and third Tuesday) in the boardroom of the Rock Creek Medical Clinic building. It currently has five child members and four volunteer staff members. The Adventurer Club is a Christian-focused club which teaches family values and basic life skills in the setting of a fun, educational and stimulating environment. Children learn how to interact with each other and with the adults in their community by engaging in club-directed activities, which earn the children badges and pins for their uniform sash. They also interact with the community during field trips and outreach endeavours. The next organized field trip will be an official attendance in

full uniform at the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Cenotaph just east of Rock Creek on Nov. 11. Children ages three to nine are eligible to become members of the club, but must attend with a parent or childcare provider. If interested, contact the club director, Dr. Christine Simpson, at 250-446-2990.

Cenotaph a memorial to Phoenix GREG NESTEROFF

Special to the Boundary Creek Times

stantly killing seven year old Jackie Mattocks and two horses. Middleton escaped unharmed but Mitchell broke his leg and another man, Fred Patterson, suffered a slight shoulder injury. Why the building fell is unclear. But the demolition crew had a hard time keeping children out of it, and shooed away two little girls only moments before the catastrophe. Making Jackie’s death all the more tragic, his family planned to move to Grand Forks the next day, where he was to begin school. Instead, he was buried in its cemetery. The rink’s sale raised $1,200, enough to pay for the war monument, with $400 left over to donate to the Royal Canadian Legion in Grand Forks to ensure its care. In October 1920, the monument was erected by Patterson, Chandler, and Stephen Ltd. of Vancouver, a firm that also built the cenotaph in Merritt. It stood 8½ feet high, weighed 4½ tons, and was mounted on a rock outcropping adjoining the former Phoenix CPR depot, which was about the highest point in the city — elevation 4,700 feet on the divide between Twin Creek and Fourth of July Creek. It was then also along the main highway between Grand Forks and Greenwood. The front inscription includes a line from the Roman poet Horace’s Odes: Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori, which roughly translates as “It is sweet and right to die for your country.” Beneath it is inscribed: “To the

One of the few remaining signs of the ghost town of Phoenix is its cenotaph, dedicated to 15 soldiers claimed in the First World War and borne out of another unrelated tragedy. Charles M. Campbell wrote in the Boundary Historical Society’s third annual report that 46 Phoenix men employed by the Granby mining company volunteered for overseas service before 1917, of whom eight were killed in action, one died of his injuries, one lost an arm, another a leg, 20 more were otherwise wounded, two were taken prisoner, and three were invalided home. Of the remaining 12, four joined the Canadian Army Medical Corps and were uninjured, three were not heard from again, and the other five came through safely, including one who was decorated with the Military Medal. Another who was wounded twice won the Distinguished Conduct Medal, was made lieutenant, and later won the Military Cross. (Campbell didn’t name any of these men.) Among 15 later enlistments, one man was killed and two wounded. When the war ended, the city began considering a memorial to its fallen sons. But before anything was decided, the Granby company pulled out of Phoenix, spelling doom for the town. Many buildings were sold for salvage, including the city’s skating and curling rink. The Phoenix Rink Company, which owned the arena, met Continued on page 10 with stockholders and decided proceeds from the sale would be put toward a war memorial that would outlast the town. That much of the story is fairly well CHRISTIAN VALLEY SERVICE known. But this part isn’t: the rink’s demolition No job too big or too small claimed a boy’s life.

GREENWOOD BOARD OF TRADE On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we ask you to pause and remember the thousands of men and women who sacrificed their lives so that we may enjoy our freedom.

glory of God this monument is erected in honor of the Phoenix men who paid the supreme sacrifice in the Great War 1914-1918.” The opposite side lists the men who gave their lives: James Cochrane, Joseph Fleming, Elmo R. Geddes, Oscar Gustafson, Sidney Jennings, Anton Johnson, James C. Kempston, John Lindsay, Roy A. MacDonald, Dudley MacMillan, Thomas Monahan, John A. Parry, D.M. Pittendrigh, James Pitpladdy, and Fred Wilkinson. In 1956, when the Granby company resumed mining at Phoenix, the cenotaph was moved a short distance to its present location. Today it’s still the site of a small Remembrance Day service. Charles Campbell, who lived and worked there for 16 years, commented: “This is the only stone structure ever erected in Phoenix and long after all the buildings have rotted away, the waste dumps and glory holes have been hidden by new forest growth, and the deer have returned to their former haunts, this shaft will remain as a memorial not only to the men who gave up their lives in Flanders but also to the place they came from.” The cenotaph at Phoenix remembers 15 men killed during the First World War — as well as a now-vanished mining town.

He is a veteran of the navy, although he never saw any wartime service. “I missed going to Vietnam by one ship. One ship went, we were the next one in line … and it was over before we had to go,” he said, adding that it was a good thing. On Remembrance Day, Walker plans, like most of the 120 members of the Greenwood Legion, to attend one of the two memorial services being offered that day. He said it’s hard to determine how many people attend the event because of the two cenotaphs. One is in the Kettle Valley between Rock Creek and Midway. “That’s flat out there and November 11 can be cold so a lot of the older people in Greenwood wanted to have a cenotaph in town.” So a new one was erected in Greenwood, adjacent to city hall. Walker believes 60-70 people attend Retired Master Corporal Robert Walker now serves at each site. as president of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch “Everybody who wants to can go to #155 in Greenwood. the Legion afterwards.”

Ode to War

Some years ago we visited an elderly widow who had lost her only child on the battle fields of Europe. On this Remembrance Day she was paging through her family photo album and her grief seemed as real as it had been on the first day of her loss. I wrote the following in silent tribute to our dear friend and the thousands of other mothers who would forever bear the burden of their children’s enormous sacrifices so generations following might live as we do now - in freedom, peace and unrivalled prosperity.

ODE TO WAR A mother’s heart is crushed with grief Her soul has filled with tears With trembling hands she turns a page One leaf in passing years Her pictures speak a thousand words The child upon her breast Is nestled in her arms once more But in eternal rest There is no pain that life can give To meet this glimpse of hell And those who speak of love of God Ne’er had this tale to tell Her sorrow knows no depth nor height No friend can count the cost One death is cradled in her arms In truth, two souls are lost ~ Stan Harder
