Arrow Creek water supply consumers in Creston and Erickson are now under Stage 3 water restrictions after an emergency meeting of the Arrow Creek Water Commission on June 23. Heavy demand, low snowpack levels and a forecast for record high temperatures have combined to create low creek flow and decreased reservoir levels. An early ripening season for tree fruits has resulted in an unusually high demand for water as growers struggle to keep their trees producing in the heat, Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) Area B director Tanya Wall said. “There has been a huge depletion of resources because of unseasonably hot weather,” she said. “We need the co-operation of residents so that we can avoid moving to Stage 4 restrictions, which would restrict supplies to commercial businesses, including laundromats, car washes and Columbia Brewery.” See WaTer, page 3

Thirty-six golfers are visiting the Creston Valley next week to compete in the 2015 Canadian Blind Golf Championships at the Creston Golf Club. Host Darren Douma — who last year placed second in the world, Australian and Canadian blind golf championships, and competed June 21-26 on a North American team in Italy — has been working for two years to plan the event.
