Rick Hansen may not be coming to the Creston Valley with the relay that bears his name, but local residents won’t be missing out on the excitement.

“We’re still being recognized,” said Creston co-ordinator Tanya Ducharme. “And they will be working with local schools.”

The relay, which will include 13 locals (list on page 28), will stop at Yahk and Erickson elementary schools and Prince Charles Secondary School, and pass by Adam Robertson Elementary School on its way out of Creston.

On April 18, it will arrive, carried by Harry Haberstock, at the Creston and District Community Complex at 1:30 p.m., followed by a half-hour presentation in the lobby. In addition to relay officials, Creston Mayor Ron Toyota, Lower Kootenay Band Chief Jason Louie and Regional District of Central Kootenay directors Garry Jackman, (Area A), John Kettle (Area B) and Larry Binks (Area C) have also been invited to speak.

The presentation will be followed by the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program’s annual juvenile sturgeon release at former Kootenay River ferry landing from 2:304:30. The cause of sturgeon conservation is important to Hansen, who founded the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society in 1997.

Riding program offers therapy for all ages

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

The Creston and District Society for Community Living’s (CDSCL) Therapeutic Riding Program (TRP) is such an integral party of the community it seems hard to believe it’s only been operating since 2005.

“More than just a pony ride,” is the way the program is promoted, and director Michelle Whiteaway describes it as “a community of people that includes instructors, riders, caregivers of riders and volunteers — and, of course, the horses, too.”

Operated under the auspices of CDSCL, which for many years housed and supported people with developmental challenges on what is commonly known as the Endicott Centre property and still continues to support individuals with developmental disabilities throughout the Creston community, the program was started by Sara Schmidt. It was Schmidt’s tireless passion that helped TRP become what it is today.

“Every year we seem to have more people with more to offer,” Whiteaway said.

TRP now has 38 riders who range in age from five to over 80.

Most riders have some form of autism while others have challenges including Down syndrome, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder and cerebral palsy. One, Kootenay Lake writer Luanne Armstrong, rides as a therapy for her own particular challenge.

“I think it is wonderfully ironic that although I have been riding horses all my life, it was only after I was crippled with rheumatoid arthritis that I am learning to ride properly,” she told the Advance after winning a national riding competition recently.

Saluting volunteers April 15-21 is Volunteer Canada’s National Volunteer Week, and the Advance has decided to take it a step further. Each issue in April will have a story on a different non-profit organization, starting with the Handy Capable Housing Society last week. The April 19 issue will feature the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors.

Creston Valley Radio

While learning riding and horsemastership skills, people with mental, emotional and/or physical disabilities gain a host of benefits. Riders may participate for a variety of reasons — rehabilitation, skill development, fun and recreation — and may even compete. In order to meet each rider’s individual needs, their program is specifically designed for them.

Therapists, the instructor and the rider itself are involved in customizing a program. Where space in the schedule is available, riders without disabilities can also participate.

Locally, TRP started out on a property in Canyon, but it has found a comfortable home on the Erickson Road property, which is owned by the Kootenay Region Association for Community Living (KRACL).

The TRP has a very active group of volunteers who help with maintaining the property — mainly Alex Nilsson and Terje Munkerud. They have cleaned moss off of the roofs of the buildings, worked to seal up the roof of the Rosewood building, which had leaked for years, and helped with cutting down dangerous trees. Lyn Kistner and his workhorse, Marty, have also cut down and removed several dangerous trees from the horse paddocks.

CDSCL and TRP have also invested in a riding lawn mower so volunteers can easily mow the many lawns. The philosophy of TRP is to be excellent tenants.

Of course, the program relies heavily on having gentle, reliable, healthy and hard-working horses. Currently, seven horses work in the TRP, including one owned by Whiteaway, and Cupcake, who is under evaluation. Whiteaway said one horse is needed for every eight riders.

“Temperament is the main asset,” she said. “The horses have to be willing to please, easy to forgive and not pushy. They need to be well trained to respond to the riders and their aids.

“We really, really take care of our horses well. Our horses are very happy and they get four months off each winter as a reward for working hard for the other eight months of the year.

They all love their jobs.”

The TRP relies heavily on the generosity of volunteers, local donations and the provincial gaming grant, which totaled $35,000 last year. Riders also pay small fees to help cover the costs of food and farrier services for the horses.

ber centres across Canada providing high quality therapeutic, recreation, life skills and sport programs. CanTRA has also worked over the past 25 years to ensure an excellent standard of certification and education for therapeutic riding instructors. CanTRA is a member of the Federation of Riding for Disabled International (FRDI) and is recognized by FRDI as the only governing body for therapeutic riding in Canada.

While CanTRA as a national body acts as a resource for its members through certification, education and insurance, its strength lies in its local centres across the country. Each centre offers a program with a slightly different focus and many medical professionals work with CanTRA to ensure excellence in service delivery.

“The TRP has three certified instructors — Christine Ross, head instructor, Peggy Hawes, an assistant instructor, and myself, an intermediate instructor,” said Whiteaway. “Two more assistant instructors, Avis Hutchinson and Shayla Leacock, are in training and successfully completed their technical evaluation at North Fraser Therapeutic Riding Association in Maple Ridge at the end of March. ” Judine Maki is an Equine Canada Instructor who teaches lessons for riders without disabilities.

Having more instructors will allow for further expansion of the program, if sufficient volunteers are available — keep in mind that for some riders three volunteers are needed, one to lead the horse and one on each side of the rider.

“Horseback riding is a fun and challenging activity for everyone and the Therapeutic Riding Program makes this activity accessible to children and adults with all forms of disabilities, be they developmental, physical, emotional, behavioral or social,” said Whiteaway. “It’s a way to discover a whole new world of adventure, freedom, responsibility, dignity and excitement. It is also a way to improve balance and coordination and strengthen muscles.

“Most importantly, it provides an overwhelming sense of accomplishment for everyone involved — riders, volunteers, caregivers and instructors.”

Petition seeks former hours for Kootenay ferries

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor An online petition with over 250 signatures is asking B.C. Transportation and Infrastructure Minster Blair Lekstrom to restore the former sailing schedule of the Kootenay Lake ferries.

The petition coincides with this spring’s contract renewal for Western Pacific Marine, which operates the MV Osprey 2000 and MV Balfour. (Western Pacific Marine representatives were not available for comment before press time.)

“We were told if we wanted changes made to the schedule, now was the time,” said East Shore resident Jai English.

Citing health, economic viability, social development, work opportunities and shopping in Nelson, Castlegar and Kaslo, the petition was created by East Shore resident Nicole Plouffe in mid-March, with the goal of reaching 500 signatures.

“As a small community we rely on the proximity of larger towns and cities to sustain our quality of life,” says the petition at www.change.org/petitions. “We are dependent on these communities for many aspects of our lives and reduced ferry sailings have impeded our way of life.”

The Kootenay Lake ferries used to start the day with a 6:05 commuter run from Kootenay Bay to Balfour.

The day would end with a 12:20 a.m. sailing from Balfour to Kootenay Bay, followed by a 1:10 a.m. return sailing.

About 10 years ago, the schedule was cut back, with final sailings becoming 9:40 p.m. from Balfour and 10:20 p.m. from Kootenay Bay. To make the 9:40 p.m. sailing to get home, East Shore residents have had

Local News

to forego movies, theatre and concerts in West Kootenay communities.

“There’s been a lot of culture lost,” said English, whose daughter commutes to Nelson for a French immersion program.

It’s also been difficult to maintain adequate health services in the area; Crawford Bay has a clinic, but its hours of operation are limited.

While the petition specifically asks for the former schedule to be reinstated, residents are also interested in seeing a more significant change, from the current 50-minute schedule to an on-the-hour operation. Information being passed around the East Shore suggests that an hourly schedule would be more cost-effective.

“The crew costs would go up … but with the longer time in dock, crew costs would be offset by reduced maintenance costs and fuel costs,” said English.

A schedule change would decrease confusion and anxiety for travellers, who often use Highway 3A specifically for the ferry trip, often touted as the world’s longest free ferry ride.

“It’s one of the features that a lot of communities try to create in some other way,” English said.

As with others on the East Shore, English wants the petition to help the cause, and sees it as a peaceful way of letting the government know what residents want.

“This isn’t a fight against anything. This is a creative way of problem-solving. This is a good opportunity to look at it from a different perspective and hopefully help. …

“No one is asking for more; we’re just asking for a revision of what is.”

Home and Garden Show returns to arena

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

In what has become a spring tradition, the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce’s Home and Garden Show returns next week.

On April 20 and 21, about 80 vendors will fill the John Bucyk Arena, offering everything from garden equipment to home décor to insurance to information on local non-profit societies.

“It’s a pretty wide range of exhibits,” said chamber executive director Jim Jacobsen.

The show will be larger than it’s been in a few years; upgrades to the Creston and District Community Complex forced the show into the curling rink and reduced the available number of booths.

“We’re back to where we started in the arena with a full-sized show.

It’s going to make the show look and feel bigger and brighter.”

The return to the arena allows for larger exhibits, including a land-

scaping feature by Beltane Nursery.

Vendors from the Creston Valley Farmers’ Market will offer miniworkshops and product demonstrations. And to promote the local arts community, Wynndel artist Sandy Kunze is organizing an artistic element to the show.

“We’re actually going to have working artists on-site with a home and garden theme,” said Jacobsen.

Outside will be food vendors, including Betty Martin, who will be raising funds for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.

The show is sponsored by Columbia Basin Trust, and, as usual, will offer visitors door prizes and a chance to win the grand prize, a garden set worth over $1,500 donated by Home Hardware Building Centre.

The Home and Garden Show runs from 2-9 p.m. April 20 and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. April 21. Admission is $3, or two admissions for $5. For more information or to reserve a booth, contact the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce at 250-428-4342.

Special Olympics starting new children’s programs

Creston’s Special Olympics BC program is starting programs for children aged two to 12, and is looking for participants, providing encouragement for both parents and children.

“It’s important for parents to network,” said co-ordinator Karley Ferner. “It can be a difficult thing to go through when you have young kids.

On April 21 from 10-11 a.m., parents can stop by the Sunshine Room at the Creston and District Community Complex to register their children in the Special Olympics Active Start and Fundamentals programs.

About 30 people in Creston currently participate in Special Olympics, and many are active in the three main sports of bowling, swimming and floor hockey. The children’s

program has been defunct for a few years, and organizers are looking forward to starting it again.

In addition to participants, Ferner is also looking for volunteers to help with the programs.

Each must be prepared to give one hour each week.

“They just help the athletes go through the different activities,” she said. “They have to help set it up. They’re there for any questions parents might have.”

Bringing back memories

We haven’t been in London, except to pass through Heathrow Airport, since 1976. Angela spent quite a bit of time there in 1974-75 and I visited several times in 1972, when I was fresh out of high school and ready to see the world. Some things seemed different when we spent several days in a bed and breakfast on Great Titchfield Street, but most seemed unchanged.

I agree with Thomas Wolfe, who wrote, “You can’t go home again.� But London never was home and I was once again experiencing it as a visitor.

We were wandering in the bright sunshine, coming back from a look at the London Eye and a disappointing visit to the Tate Modern gallery (perhaps the first major art gallery I have ever disliked — building and collection included) and stopped into a pub near Trafalgar Square to rest our weary legs. I bellied up to the bar to order a pint of English stout for me and a half of lighter beer for Angela (she once preferred “medium� sherry and if the publican couldn’t accommodate the order, I would ask him to simply mix dry and sweet sherry together), and we sat in a snug, watching the activity around us.

Suddenly, I was back in a pub near St. Paul’s Cathedral. It was 1972 and, with my two travelling companions from high school, I sat savouring the first of many pints to be consumed in the weeks we travelled around England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland before venturing over to the mainland.

Like most Canadian kids travelling then, we had sewn small Canadian flags onto our jackets. Better to

and pub life and the travel we were about to experience. And it was hardly a one-off experience.

Angela and I have been favoured by the kindness of strangers wherever we have travelled. I’ve always attributed that to our insistence that we don’t impose our own values or expectations on others. We take things as they come, smile and make an effort to respect the people we come across.

In Nova Scotia, we were Lorne Eckersley among the first guests of the year to stay at an inn So we sat, maybe a tad nervously, connected to the Glen Breton sipping our beer and taking in the whisky distillery.

Support appreciated To the Editor: I would like to express my gratitude to the many citizens of Creston and area that donated to help me with my battle for my life with cancer. I don’t know who you all are and this is the only way I can thank you.

None of you can know how much it has meant to me to realize that without knowing who I was you were still willing to help me and my family out. I still don’t know if I have won the fight, but one thing is for sure: You all helped me put up a good fight.

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.

Georgette Rivett Canyon

PM a ‘true blessing’ To the Editor: I’m writing to express my concern at the three-pronged attack mounted by Lorne Eckersley, Ann Day and Kuya Minogue against our federal government, Stephen Harper, in particular.

In his column (“What has our politics come to?” March 8 Advance), Mr. Eckersley keeps lobbing missiles at our prime minister, implying that he and his party are not to be trusted. In her column (“Robocall not the only scandal”, March 15), Ann Day accuses our government leaders of “muzzling” scientists. And Kuya Minogue, in her letter to the editor (“Inquiry into robocall needed”, March 29), invites readers to lobby the governor general to dissolve our federal government if it so much as minimizes the robocall investigation.

As this is a free country, I would also like to voice my opinion. I am so glad we have Stephen Harper as our prime minister. He has been a true blessing to this country.

Just a few of the praiseworthy events of his leadership: First, his apology on behalf of all Canadians to the First Nations people for the wrong-headedness of Canadian government policy in the past and the hurts this brought to the families of so many in our country; Second, his unswerving support for all Canadians in our military, past, present and future, who have served our country so honourably. This is not mere flag-waving, but a commitment of our government to support those who devote their lives and make so many sacrifices for us all; Third, his continuing efforts at improving Canada’s international trade relations. He is, as we speak, in Japan, working at establishing stronger trade ties; Fourth, his unstinting support for

Israel, leading a UN walkout against the tirades of those misguided leaders who insist that the Holocaust was fiction; and Fifth, his public honouring of Preston Manning, who, in my opinion, is one of the greatest Canadians never to become prime minister.

These are just a few of the noteworthy accomplishments of our prime minister. I know there are many more, and I would like to encourage you to think on these things and on all things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely and admirable — anything, in fact, that is excellent or praiseworthy, because these are things worth thanking God for!

Gleaners should be grateful

apartments for the new doctors that came to town this way, and I’m sorry, but they will make more money than I ever will.

I have been to many thrift stores in different places and never once has anyone asked me if I was poor and told me I shouldn’t be shopping there. They all seem grateful for the business they receive to support the charity they are raising money for. Why is Creston unique? Why would you even care what happens to the merchandise if you get your price for it? Do you know how many volunteers and shoppers have had garage sales with the things they bought at Gleaners? Wake up and be grateful for the support.

Montmartre for a few hours to get a feel for the neighborhood, then arrived back at the building’s main door, only to find neither of our keys would fit any of the four possible locks. And a five-digit keypad code that was on our booking form didn’t produce any results either. Suddenly a young woman walked up and asked if she could help. When I told her of our predicament she asked, “Have you been in there before?” Yes, this was definitely the place, but the keys don’t fit. “Do

you have the owner’s phone number?”

Yes, it is in the apartment. “You need the code.” I have one but it doesn’t work. She tried punching in the numbers, to no avail. Then she stuck her head in the tiny dress shop next door and asked the proprietor, in French, if she knew the code for the keypad. Ten seconds later, the door popped open.

Once again we had been rewarded by the kindness of strangers.

Old arts roots putting out new arts shoots

At 52 I’m an old root. Some of the shoots that have come from my root are the shoots of childhood, adulthood, motherhood and grandparenthood (the shoots

A Cultural Perspective Lori Wikdahl

of my shoots). I’ve transplanted this old root from the prairies to the coast and from the coast to the mountains, weaving the shoots of life and love and friendship

on the way creating my life’s tapestry. My newest shoots are the artistic endeavors I’ve immersed myself in over the last two years and I’m excited to see what will bloom from them over time.

“Old Roots – New Shoots” is the theme of this year’s Arts and Culture Week, sponsored by the Community Arts Council of Creston. Since spring is a time of renewal and growth it is a wonderful and fitting theme for this event.

Arts and Culture Week is from April 22-28 and I know that like me you’ll want to shake off the doldrums of winter and get out to some of the events going on.

There will be a weeklong exhibit and sale of new works and new artists at the Art Garage on Canyon Street and 15th Avenue, which is the future home of the

Ingham Arts and Culture Centre. Gallery hours will be 10:00 a.m.-6 p.m. daily.

You will definitely want to come out to the opening reception for Arts and Culture Week at the Art Garage on April 22, from 7-10 p.m. Along with refreshments, Monte Anderson will be tickling the ivories and we hope that if you are musically inclined you’ll bring your axe or whatever you play with you and have a good old jam session to bring the house down.

There will be an ongoing fundraiser during the week for the Friends of the Ingham Arts and Culture Centre Society so you will be able to be a part of helping them grow Creston’s newest shoot.

On April 23 at the garage from 1-3 p.m. there will be a jewelry making demonstration from Jan Potyok.

From 7-9 p.m. April 24 at Kingfisher Used Books there will be for your listening enjoyment the production of a radio play from the 1940s. You’ll be transported back in time as you listen and enjoy this blast from the past.

Come out to the Snoring Sasquatch on April 26 for artists night from 7-10 p.m. This is an interactive evening where you’ll be able to meet and talk to various local artists about their works and their passions. Great music, art and artists await you there.

On April 27 for the kids, from 4:30-6 p.m. in the meeting room of the Creston and District Public Library, there will be readings from children’s books. Our special guest will be Ute Bachinski reading from her book The Foot Story.

Opinion Line

New jobs will help valley and world

It is not a secret that the Creston Valley does not provide sufficient or meaningful job opportunities. As a result, young adults and families are either not coming in or are often moving where jobs are.

Being troubled by this, I believe there is a need for change. What can we do? Let’s turn things around and combine several “problems” into one workable solution: 1. We all know beetle bug is eating our forests away. That creates fire hazard in the process. It does not beautify our landscape, either.

2. Federal and provincial governments prom-

ised $1 billion over 10 years to deal with it.

3. Canada spends billions per year in foreign aid.

Slogan 39: Do everything with one intention A

Zen's-Eye View Kuya Minogue

It seems that every day we fall willy-nilly into a never-ending string of activities. Even if we plan our day carefully, it is impossible to know for sure what will or will not happen each day. Unexpected events seem to come at us from outside, without our having anything to do with creating the events in our lives.

Between our planned activities and responding to whatever arises in the day, we keep busy with one thing or after another from waking to sleeping.

At times, we may be really organized and lay out plans day by day and week by week.

We create goals and deadlines. But even then there are times when it seems as if we are responding to requests that pop up unexpectedly. Some days we act without any clear pattern or direction. Emails, meetings, new projects and unexpected problems overwhelm us, and we find all the little squares in our calendars filling up.

What holds all this activity together? Is there a thread that runs through the way we spend our time? Or are we just trying to make it through another day? What is our underlying intention?

Without saying it in so many words, often the thread that underlies all our thoughts, words and activities is an effort to ensure that our own lives are happy and comfortable. With a what’sin-it-for-me attitude at the foundation of our intention, we work to survive, to get ahead, to win, to succeed , to overcome, to take over. In the work place and even in our families we often do something good so we can be recognized, appreciated and rewarded. In short, we work to benefit ourselves and our immediate families.

This unspoken intention about self-enhancement is based in fear and the need to prop up the ego with an intention of developing and protecting our own comfort. Even if we are working many hours as a volunteer in the community, we may do so for personal benefit.

But rather than making heroic or virtuous gestures by taking on some righteous cause, the idea in this slogan is to cultivate awareness and gentleness, and to be of true benefit to others in everything we do. The slogan suggests that the pure intention to benefit others colours even the way in which we do the simplest things, even something like picking up a teacup. In Zen, it is said that a teacher can assess the quality of spiritual practice by the way a student holds her spoon or folds his napkin. In an enlightened individual every word, thought, act and emotion express one intention, the intention of benefiting others.

Today’s practice: Notice the way in which your underlying intentions color your actions.

Notice also that when you act with a clear intention to benefit others, your life takes on meaning.

Over the next two, choose an activity you normally do and see what happens when you link it with the intention of cultivating gentleness and service to others.

This column is a long series of short essays exploring the meaning of the Lojong Slogans. It is inspired by the work of Judy Lief.

Kuya Minogue is the resident teacher at Creston’s ZenWords Zen Centre. For more information, she can be reached at 250-428-3390.

The varied thrush usually calls from the top of an evergreen tree and that should separate it from a real squeaky brake. Its call carries best on a cool spring morning or evening. Sometimes, I have heard them very clearly when whistling in

Ed McMackin not sure that’s the most becoming name for a bird, although it does kind of describe its call. The name doesn’t do much for the bird’s reputation, especially when the rest of this bird’s clan are all melodious singers. I guess, among birds, as far as the call goes, some may call it the black sheep of the thrush family. I’d better reveal the proper name of this squeaky brake bird in case some of you haven’t already figured it out. By the way, another descriptive name for it is “swamp robin”.

The varied thrush is one of a fivesome, including the American robin, Swainson’s thrush, hermit thrush and the veery. All of these perform best in early morning or at twilight. The varied thrush gives a long single-pitched call. Sometimes, it gives a very high-pitched long whistle a very

From page 12 In our area there is at least one organization I would trust with being the go-between, organizing whole process — Kootenay Employment Services. It knows about unemployed, underemployed, welfare recipients willing to get trained and work. KES has plenty of experience reaching to all levels of government, businesses and organizations. It would become a wheel hub, ensuring accountability, transparency and fairness, bringing together existing businesses and trainees.

feeding on the ground around the bird feeders. The males are much more solitary in their feeding habits than are redpolls and pine siskins.

A shyer bird than a robin is a varied thrush. A robin will share a lawn where someone is walking around. But a varied thrush, on the slightest movement, will make a beeline to the forest, where it will chirp loudly from some secluded perch. It seems that whenever I spot this bird in the forest or feeding on the ground around the feeder, it is ready for flight. Its forward-leaning stance bespeaks escape. It’s the same when I am near its nest. They are quicker than many birds to leave the next when I approach. In fact, they are quite likely to desert a nest with eggs if frightened off of it too often. They will start over and have successful broods hatched from those robin-like bright blue eggs, typical of the thrush species. Unlike the robin, the varied and other thrushes build their nests without using mud.

Members of the thrush family are found from valley bottom to nearly mountaintop.

In this area, the hermit thrush, along with a few solitary robins, nest the highest on the mountains. They will nest on the ground or very close to ground level. In the valleys, veeries inhabit cottonwood groves, while Swainson’s thrush inhabit upland forests.

You will find varied thrushes in damp and sometimes swampy cedar-hemlock forests, hence the name, swamp robin.

Royalties from the sale of these plants support the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Last year, we couldn’t get the Incrediball hydrangea. Also from Proven Winners this is a white hydrangea, which is very hardy with huge, huge flowers. They do well as fresh cuts and can also be dried.

I will also mention the dream catcher beauty bush. It has coppery-coloured new foliage that contrasts nicely against the yellowy-green leaves it carries through the growing season. It is another Proven Winners selection. Covered in pinkish white blooms in late spring, it has great fall colour, as well. Three seasons of interest make it a great addition to the garden.

Lastly, if you are looking for a tall and narrow tree to spice up your landscape we have some new Red Obelisk beech trees in the nursery. I’ve noticed them growing in the arboretum for years but only now found a good source for them. So here they are.

Concert society offers concert and workshop CRESTON CONCERT SOCIETY

Greatly influenced by the music of Django Reinhardt, virtuoso guitarist Denis Chang’s formative years were spent alongside the greatest jazz manouche guitarists such as Fapy Lafertin, Ritary Gaguenetti and Emmanuel Kassimo to name just a few.

Gypsy jazz, also known as Gypsy swing, is often referred to by its French

roots name, jazz manouche, which combines a dark, chromatic Gypsy flavour with the swing articulation of the 1930s.

Chang has developed his own style inspired by various styles of music from the classical to the contemporary periods. Known as “the godfather of the Montreal Gypsy jazz scene” Chang is said to play “faster than his shadow”.

Performing with his jazz manouche

quartet consisting of guitars, upright bass and sax, this award-winning musician engages his audiences from the first note.

As a teacher, Chang is much sought after for master classes and workshops.

The Creston Concert Society is pleased to be able to offer this opportunity in Creston. The workshop is limited to 10 participants of intermediate/ advanced level players. The workshop is $10 for

adult and $5 for student season ticket holders. For non-season subscribers, it is $40 for adults and $30 for students — the non-member fee includes a ticket to the concert.

Those interested in registering for the workshop should call Marg at 250-428-7033 or e-mail don_and_marg@hotmail.com.

The workshop takes place at the Prince Charles Theatre at 3:30 p.m. on April 17 followed by the concert at 7:30 p.m.

The Creston and District Public Library invites you to explore the balance between economic development and environmental sustainability in its presentation of the documentary

film, Tipping Point: The Age of the Oil Sands. This CBC The Nature of Things production examines the campaign led by the residents of Fort Chipewyan, downstream of Fort McMurray, who believe oil sands toxins are destroying their territory and their culture. And they've attracted some powerful voices to their cause, chief among them Canadian filmmaker James Cameron, creator of the blockbuster Avatar.

We need the oil. We need the jobs. We also need clean air and water. In the face of the undeniable necessity of all of these things,

just how much can we sacrifice?

What should the relationship be between economics and the environment? Is Canada's dependence on a resource economy sustainable into the distant future?

There will be three showings of the Tipping Point at the Creston library (531 16th Ave. S.), on April 14 at 1:30 p.m., April 20 at 5 p.m. and April 21 at 1:30 p.m. Due to the expense of bringing this film to the library, admission is by donation. Running time is 90 minutes.

For more information, contact the library at 250-428-4141.

Lose the blues with Rambling Dan SASQUATCH ARTS AND MUSIC SOCIETY

Kootenay singer Lamb playing at Sasquatch

Submitted photo

“Folk troubadour Rambling Dan Frechette’s gritty, road-weary vocals are so suited to the blues, it’s hard to believe that this is his first foray into the genre,” said reviewer Jen Zoratti.

“The excellently titled Nothing to Lose but the Blues listens like some obscure, Bob Dylan-era 45 that was uncovered in a thrift shop; it’s as authentic, experienced and soul-on-sleeve as they come. (The only hint of modernity is the fact that there’s a song titled Internet Country Jail.) Indeed, from the slinky, smoky, good-time Charlie Blues through to the rambling man ballad They Call me Mr. Wrong, this is trueblue blues, front to back. More, please.”

Rambling Dan is now touring solo to promote four new albums released in February and March, and visits the Snoring Sasquatch on April 15. He’s been recording all fall and winter and has compiled some of his 1,500 original compositions into separate genre albums including bluegrass, blues, and folk. He has toured Canada several times over the past few years and

appeared at many festivals including Winnipeg, Edmonton, Lake Eden Arts, Canso, Mariposa, Islands, Summerfolk, Bismarck Bluegrass, Brandon, Trout Forest and Harvest Moon.

“The tour is going to be a lot of fun,” he said. “I plan to break the sets up into quarter sections so I’m changing gears during each set into a different genre and I love playing intimate venues because the people like to get to know an artist who can play all kinds of music. I do a pretty mean Dylan impression, too.

“I decided to release all these albums because I discovered Bob Dylan he already had 30 albums out. Why wait?

I won’t be around forever but I hope my songs will be.”

Rambling Dan has 10 albums to his credit in many different genres.

He has composed well-known songs for such bands as the Duhks (Who Will Take My Place?, Mists Of Down Below, You Don’t See It), Dervish (My Bride And I), Emma Cloney (My Canada, My Bride And I, Who Will Take My Place?), Jess Havey (Dance and Play), and the Ploughboys (Who Will Take My Place?).

Caribou Branding

The doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30. Tickets $10 in advance, available at Kingfisher Used Books and Black Bear Books, or $12 at the door.

Visit www.ramblingdan.com for more information on tour dates and his music.

SASQUATCH ARTS AND MUSIC SOCIETY

James Lamb is a Canadian songwriter born of a large family of folk musicians from the Kootenay mountains in British Columbia. Since 2005, Lamb has toured numerous times across the country performing on large stages and in tiny rural nooks with bands such as Headwater, Fish & Bird and Maria in the Shower, and alongside other solo performers Luke Doucet, Veda Hille, David Newberry, Dan Mangan and Rae Spoon, to name a few.

Lamb, who plays at Creston’s Snoring Sasquatch on April 21, has been featured on CBC Radio 1 programs North by Northwest and All Points West, performed for two Canada Live recording sessions for Radio 2, is a 2009 Arts Wells songwriting competition award winner, a headliner at Midsummer Folk Festival 2010 in Smithers and is preparing for his CD release tour.

His following across Canada is no small thing.

Whether playing solo, or backed by any number of talented musicians (from bands: Niktex, Morlove, Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra, Language Arts, Buffaloswans, Headwater, Fond of Tigers and more), Lamb’s dedicated fans take every opportunity to see/hear him play and relish the opportunity to interact with his generous stage show.

His live presentation can haunt a room with thoughtful joy, and his unique voice, fascinating composition, and commanding stage presence can plunge even the noisiest bar goers into mesmerized silence.

James’ long and dearly awaited sophomore album, Imagineering, is due to hit the folk charts this year.

“James is a storyteller with unconventional compositions and lyrics that explore the most contemporary issues in our Canadian culture, often originating in personal experiences with humanity,” said songwriter David Francey. “He is a compelling performer in show, his sharp observations delivered in a deceptively gentle manner, his voice an instrument of pure delight.

His view of the world reflects his generations and I can only say the future is in good hands.”

“I have had some of my most visceral responses to songwriting/music/performance at his shows,” said Martin Reisle of Maria in the Shower.

“I can without reserve say that his is a performance I would recommend without question.”

“A symphonic experience, the songwriting is peerless and completely catchy and I have been raving about these guys since I saw them play,” said K.C. of Halifax’s Left Hip Magazine. “Let’s hope word of mouth catches on!”

The doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8. Tickets $10 in advance, available at Kingfisher Used Books and Black Bear Books, or $12 at the door. For more information, visit www.jameslambmusic.com.

Over 2,000 juvenile sturgeon to be released into Kootenay River FISH AND WILDLIFE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

On April 18, the public is invited to attend the sturgeon release festival that will be held at the old ferry landing on Kootenay River Road from 2:30-4:30 p.m. The festival will celebrate the efforts to reinvigorate the sturgeon in the upper Columbia and Kootenay rivers, and will allow the public to participate in the recovery efforts by releasing one of the approximately 2,300 juvenile sturgeon provided by the Kootenay Trout Hatchery.

There will be a canoe entrance of First Nations and government and industry representatives who all work together on this sturgeon initiative, as well as vendor and information tables. There will also be First Nation traditional dancing, drumming and singing in celebration of this momentous event. “We are very honoured to be playing a part in the recovery effort for the sturgeon, which Ktunaxa have a unique connection with,� said Ktunaxa Nation chair Kathryn Teneese. “We are very grateful for the efforts of all the partners who

are working towards this common goal.â&#x20AC;?

The 10-month old juveniles weigh about 70 grams and are typically between 15 and 25 centimetres in length. They can grow to the length of a canoe and live for over 100 years.

The Kootenay River sturgeon population is endangered in both Canada and the U.S. due to a variety of human impacts, including the operation of Libby Dam, which has altered the natural flow of the river. There has been virtually no natural reproduction in the wild since 1974. There are thought to be fewer than a 1,000 adults living on both sides of the border. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great opportunity for the public to connect with nature, and help an endangered species,â&#x20AC;? said Kevin Megale, manager of the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program in the Columbia region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Events like this encourage all of us to conserve and enhance habitat and ensure this amazing fish species thrives for generations to come.â&#x20AC;?

I would like to express my sincerest appreciation for the loving care and attention given to Lillian McKenzie Parks by the staff of Crest View Care Village.

Lilllian had the privilege of spending time surrounded by all the staff who attended to her personal and medical needs in such a professional and compassionate manner.

It gave us great comfort to know that Lillian was so happy to be in their care and for this we will always be grateful.

We are such a fortunate community to have a facility staffed with such loving hearts and giving hands.

With Gratitude, Harvard Warner

He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Marion; daughter Linda-Lee; grandchildren Kendallyn and Austin; step-children Carla, Amy and Troy Beck and Brad Smith; cousins Vi (Jurgen) DuBruycker and Liz (Ian) Stokie and families.

Young fundraisers to bear Rick Hansen Medal

BY PHIL THOMAS

Is it really 25 years since the Man In Motion World Tour when a smiling Canadian hero Rick Hansen wheeled through Creston?

To celebrate this anniversary, a relay is retracing the Canadian segment of the original legendary tour, but this time one man in motion will be represented and celebrated by many in motion, engaging 7,000 participants from across Canada who have made their own difference in the lives of others.

Kaitlyn Zolynsky and Megan Emary are two of the local participants who have been honoured to pass along the Rick

Hansen medal from one person to the next through town on April 18.

Beginning on Aug. 24, 2011, in Cape Spear, N.L, in every province relay medal bearers have passed along the Rick Hansen Medal produced by the Royal Canadian Mint as the relay has made it’s way across the country. While Hansen will be present at a number of cities and stops along the 25th anniversary relay, it will be these 7,000 medal bearers who will complete this cross Canada tour of 12,000 kilometres from coast to coast concluding in Vancouver in mid-May. The average relay distance covered in a day ranges from 40 to 80 kilometres. In

by Miranda Edwards (left) and Betty Martin (right).

populated areas, medal bearers will carry the Rick Hansen Medal using a variety of modes of movement, each medal bearer covering an average distance of 250 metres. In less populated areas and to cover longer distances between communities, the Rick Hansen Medal has been carried by a medal bearer in “endurance mode”.

Each relay day concludes with an end of day celebration, which will provide the opportunity for our community to come together, recognize their own difference makers, raise awareness about accessibility and inclusiveness, and inspire a new generation to take action to help make the world a better place.

From page 1 On April 19, the relay will continue with a presentation at PCSS, and the day’s first medal bearer, Morgan Fleck, will leave from there at 9:50 a.m. After the local bearers, the medal will be carried by endurance athlete Joey Desjardins.

All of the medal bearers who applied for the 10 local positions were worthy of the task, said Ducharme, and she was pleased to see that longtime volunteer Haberstock was the final bearer to bring the medal into town.

“He’s touched just about every organization in the community,” said Ducharme. “The list is a mile long.”

The Rick Hansen Relay celebrates the 25th anniversary of Hansen’s Man in Motion world tour, allowing him to “continue his journey of making the world more accessible and inclusive,” according to www.rickhansenrelay.com.

The relay began on Aug. 24, 2011, and will conclude in Vancouver on May 22, recreating the Canadian leg of the original Man in Motion tour.

The current relay will pass through 600 communities, and engage 7,000 medal bearers, each of whom will carry the relay medal created by the Royal Canadian Mint.

The Man in Motion tour is well worth commemorating — it raised significant awareness of accessibility issues in public buildings.

“The enhancement through recognition of handy capable motivation has been huge,” said Ducharme.

She encourages residents to come out and “just show community spirit and support for the [Rick Hansen] Foundation,” said Ducharme. “For anybody who was there when he came through originally, this is a way to remember that.”

The Rick Hansen Medal will be carried by 13 Crestonites, each of whom will receive a slightly smaller replica to keep.
