’Cuda restored after 13 years

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

TODAY'S WEATHER

More than a decade after Tom Clemens began to restore his ex-brotherin-law Jeff Filutze’s 1970 Plymouth Barracuda, the project is finished and the car has been shipped back to it’s owner in New York.

When Clemens began the restoration in 1999, he never imagined that it would take more than 1,000 hours stretched over 12 years to get the end result of a vehicle that will likely be valued between $100,000 and $130,000.

But rather than a few new parts and a fresh coat of paint, the restoration required the ’Cuda 440-6 — the sport

A bylaw amendment that would have banned backyard bird-feeding except in the winter was defeated at the May 8 regular Creston town council meeting.

Amendments to waste management regulations bylaw No. 1395 were intended to reduce attractants to “problem animals” on properties within the town of Creston.

Two readings were passed at the previous meeting but the final approval failed, with Coun. Tanya Ducharme, a previous supporter, out of town on business on Tuesday.

A motion by Coun. Judy Gadicke to defer the decision until all councillors were in attendance was defeated when Mayor Ron Toyota cast a tying vote. Gadicke cited a previous instance when a decision had been delayed.

The bylaw amendment went down to defeat when Couns. Jerry Schmalz, Wesly Graham and Scott Veitch voted against it. Gadicke and Coun. Joanna Wilson voted in favour. Toyota did not signal his vote because the amendment would have been defeated anyway.

“A councillor pointed out to me later that I have the prerogative to bring back the issue but I won’t be doing that,” Toyota said. “Our staff worked long and hard to create the amendments to address concerns brought to council by Bear Aware representatives last year and as far as I’m concerned the discussion is over.”

At Coun. Wes Graham’s suggestion, the donations will come from a “discretionary grant fund” and not be called grants-in-aid.

Self-taught artist continues to grow

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Mary Nicol hasn’t had much in the way of art classes or lessons, but her paintings have been wellknown in the Creston Valley for nearly a quarter-century.

me, like buildings, even though I didn’t know that’s what I was doing at the time.”

She recalls a teacher in Canada who really liked the artwork she produced in school, but her interest was put on hold once she had her two children.

would probably quit. I don’t want it to become a job. I rarely do commissions because then it feels like work.”

With her lack of formal training, how has Nicol progressed to become the painter of works on display at Kingfisher Used Books?

Lorne Eckersley photo

Mary Nicol, whose paintings are featured this month at Kingfisher Used Books.

“I think I have loved art since the day I was born,” she says. “I just didn’t know what direction it would take me.”

Born in Mexico, where she lived until she was eight, Nicol said she used to mould clay she found in the yard, and her fascination with colour was stimulated by spending her formative years in a country that teems with bright colours.

Nicol came to Creston 25 years after her father was killed in a hitand-run crash here in the Creston Valley.

“My dad’s death left my mom all alone, so I came to stay with her.”

She started taking classes at what was then East Kootenay Community College (now College of the Rockies), but she couldn’t balance school and work, so she took a full-time job serving customers at the popular Rendezvous Restaurant, a longtime downtown Creston favourite.

“I really enjoyed the job and I loved Creston, so I just stayed,” she says. “It’s been a good place for me.”

Her interest in art extended to related subjects, like architecture.

“Even as a child I was always studying whatever was around

“Then, when I was 27 or 28, I decided to try an art class.”

She was living in Barrhead, Alta., and had “a really good teacher — for about two or three months.

“I’ve been painting ever since.

It’s the one thing — besides my kids — that I’ve stuck to for all these years.”

It’s not always easy, though, she admits.

“Sometimes I feel like quitting.

Creating art is hard work and sometimes I’m just not getting what I want out of it. But I persist and the feeling passes, or someone provides some encouraging words and I carry on.”

Creston residents got their first glimpses of Nicol’s work at the Rendezvous, where she was encouraged by the owners to display her work for sale.

“I always had a lot of work there,” she recalls. “I sold a lot.

One summer I sold 30 or more of my paintings — they went all over the world. Sometimes I wish I knew where they all ended up.”

Although she has been selling paintings ever since, Nicol doesn’t see herself as a professional.

“If I made it into a business I

“I study other artists that I really like and admire,” she says.

“And I do a lot of painting. A lot.

“I like to learn everything the hard way — those are the lessons that stick.”

Nicol works in both acrylics and watercolours, finding enjoyment in both media.

“I do more acrylics now,” she says. “Mostly because watercolours have to be framed with glass to protect them and that gets expensive. I still love them, though. They have a quality that’s all their own.”

Watercolour painting poses special challenges, too.

“You have to solve all your problems ahead of time, mostly in your head,” she explains. “There’s no going back once you start putting the colours down.”

The show at Kingfisher, which runs throughout May, is an indication of Nicol’s versatility and range of interests. On display are landscapes, still lifes and abstracts.

“I get bored very easily,” she laughs. “Doing the same thing over and over gets old.”

A couple of years ago, she took a stab at abstracts at the urging of her son, who lives in Victoria.

A late night blaze completely destroyed a residence at 434 25th Avenue South on Saturday.

“Upon our arrival at the house it was fully involved in flames,” Creston Fire Rescue Deputy Chief Michael Moore said on Monday.

“All occupants of the house had safely escaped prior to the arrival of the fire department.”

With the house already in flames, firefighters concentrated their efforts on a neighbouring residence, which had also been evacuated. The 16 firefighters on the scene fought the blaze for two hours to bring it under control but the fire wasn’t completely extinguished until 5 a.m. on Sunday, more than five hours after they arrived at the site.

Creston RCMP maintained traffic and crowd control during the fire and BC Ambulance personnel remained on the scene in case of injury to firefighters. No injuries were reported.

“Total damage is estimated at approximately $315,000 between the two residences,” Moore said.

“The saved property value would be estimated at $325,000. …

“There has been no cause of the fire identified and the only information known is that the two occupants were in bed at the time the blaze broke out. They awoke in time to escape the fire.”

Moore said an investigation to determine the cause and origin of the fire, but it is not believed to be suspicious in nature.

worked in, it’s hardly surprising that Nicol admires an eclectic selection of artists.

“Impressionists are my favourites — Monet and van Gogh. But I love the Group of Seven. And Emily Carr — she’s the only one whose work I have actually seen in person. Oh, and Andrew Wyeth — he evokes such emotion with his paintings.”

That Nicol admires van Gogh’s brilliant colours and Wyeth’s muted earth tones are a testament to a painter who is open to different ideas, a quality that has only been fueled by her retirement.

“I love the time I have. I’m never bored,” she says. “I paint pretty much every day and it seems like I am always studying whatever is around me. Art is everywhere — in nature, in people, in towns and cities — you just have to look.”

Among the endless challenges painters face is the process itself.

She points to a still life on the Kingfisher wall. It features two flowers in a vase. It has a distinctly impressionist look to it.

“That one took 15 minutes,” she laughs. “Then, sometimes, I’ll have to stare at a painting for days and weeks before I see what I need to do next. It’s different with every painting. I just keep going to get what I want, and if I don’t get it, I move onto something else. I usually return to it eventually, though.”

It’s a question that all artists are asked. How do you know when a painting is finished?

“I would say I’m never totally satisfied,” she admits. “But I get happy with it. I try not to make a painting look like I worked really hard on it.”

“I love piano ensembles,” said Audrey Johnson, who has taught in Creston for seven years. “Two-piano is a big favourite of mine. There are lots of two-piano works out there that are really fun to play.”

Many teachers, she said, use multi-player pieces as a teaching tool — she has two grand pianos in her studio — but the skills learned make for a memorable concert, too.

“It sounds really full and orchestrated,” she said.

The concert is more than

just an opportunity for the students to perform; it will also help pay for a new band room piano at Prince Charles Secondary School. A 50/50 draw will be held, with just 88 tickets — the number of keys on a piano — to be sold.

The concert, which will be MCed by Brooke Douma, will have 14 performers: Emma Penner, Alec Hammond, Noah Koehoorn, Erin Collison, Bronwyn McKenna, Christina Walker, Ben Collison, Adriana Ingram, Lexi Ducharme, Dempsey McKenna, Teandra Ostendorf, Danielle Sonntag, Stephanie Tilling and Leah Gailius.

They will play a wide range of music, from Mozart’s Eine kleine Nachtmusik and Handel’s Arrival of the Queen of Sheba to modern pieces, such as the theme from Romeo and Juliet

and Beauty and the Beast.

Another is Perpetual Commotion, which Johnson describes as “a rhythmic, driving study for eight hands.” Two pieces by American composer Eugénie Ricau Rocherolle will be featured: Jambalaya, in memory of Hurricane Katrina, and The Way We Danced, a medley of dance music from 1949-1999.

Johnson is looking forward to hearing her students take on the selections, and is sure the audience will enjoy the experience.

“It adds that level of challenge, but at the same time it adds a huge deal of fun,” she said. “The difficulty and challenge are worth it because the outcome is so pleasant.”

Tickets to the 7 p.m. concert are $10 for adults and $5 for students, available at Black Bear Books and at the door.

The announcement that the Creston Valley Health Working Group has succeeded in attracting another physician to the area is good news. It is also an affirmation of what can happen when the town and regional directors can accomplish when they work together (making help from other agencies, like Interior Health, easier to get).

That spirit of co-operation has not been as evident recently, with internal (for the most part) battles taking place over water and fire services, and others, too.

The fire service dispute is complicated. Last fall, representatives of fire departments in Yahk, Canyon-Lister, Wynndel and Creston came up with a plan to create a single service for the Creston Valley, or at least large parts of it.

That agreement was the last thing the elected folks expected, always assumed that threatening the autonomy of fire departments would preclude such a plan.

The regional service proposal was promptly doused with cold water by the Regional District of Central Kootenay fire chief, who said that the regional district had no intention of turning fire protection over to the Town of Creston, which would have taken the lead under the proposed plan. Chief Terry Swann made reference to “my people� when he said the RDCK wouldn’t accept the plan. “My people� sounded suspiciously like a reference to Kettle, who is not only the Area B director, but chair of the RDCK board. Kettle hasn’t pulled any punches in stating his view that Creston Fire Rescue is over-managed by a fire chief and deputy, and that their salaries are too high. I think that if the Town of Creston had proposed to dump one or both of their employees in the

creation of a regional fire service, the plan might have continued to move forward.

Again, Kettle has a bigger agenda in play. Since he was first elected a decade ago he has wanted to

When Creston mayor Ron Toyota and Area C director Larry Binks were elected in 2008, and Kettle was re-elected, they made a commitment to work together for the common good of the Creston Valley. For the first couple years, that co-operation was evident at nearly every turn.

But I have heard it pointed out by both Creston and Area B residents that there has been a shift since Kettle was elected as RDCK chair more than a year ago. As Lorne Eckersley chair, he is obligated to represent the entire district and extended fire protection to portions not just his own neck of the woods. of Area B that have no coverage, like It was a bad sign when a local govArrow Creek, Lakeview and ernance review was quietly abanKitchener.

Fitness regimen has benefits

I’ve had a couple people ask me if we were still doing the swimming and fitness thing that we started back in January. As much as I’d like to say, “We are over that fad,� I have to report that we are dutifully still swimming three times a week at 5:45 a.m. and working out in the gym after work the same day. I’ll be honest with you. I was one of those people that believed the best workout was to get out and work but I started to notice subtle differences even a few weeks after we started our own swim and gym regimen.

Increased energy during the day and evenings after we worked out was the first indication and over the past few months you really start to notice you feel both physically and mentally “better�.

Now I still believe getting out and working is still a necessary part of your personal health, and that could entail digging up your garden, mowing or raking your lawn, going for a hike or even a brisk walk around town or country. The very tangible gain I noticed is that with this spring’s activities, such as building a rock wall or gathering firewood, I would

Pennies can raise funds for GoGo Population, Grannies resources are parts of problem

volunteered to collect pennies in bulk for this worthy cause. Please consider the good those pennies can do.

Lynn Johnson Canyon

To the Editor: Everyone must now know that Canada’s last penny has been minted this week. Soon all pennies will be out of circulation and very few of these coins are of any collector value.

It has been recommended that all those pennies in piggy banks, jars, weighting down wallets, and down between your couch cushions and car seats be donated to charities now while they can still be used for good works.

Creston’s GoGo Grannies work very hard to fund raise for the Stephen Lewis Foundation to send money to the hundreds of grandmothers in Africa who are raising multitudes of orphaned children due to the AIDS epidemic. There are many GoGo donation cans in town stores to collect coins, and two local businesses, Creston Card and Stationary downtown and Creston Valley Insurance at the mall, have

Now that we are a city, should people have to work out of town to make a living?

I do understand something, though, by design, and correct me if I’m wrong, but we are in trouble. I talk to people and know people who are in the know.

I don’t take people’s word for things. I go to the source, and the sources tell me we are in trouble. You see, at the

Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (1992), the think tanks of the world developed Agenda 21. In this agenda, the main focuses were for population control and for sustainable development. Here is a paragraph from page 10 of over 140 pages, from Education for Sustainable Development section: “Two of the major issues in the international dialogue on sustainability are population and resource consumption. Increases in population and resource use are thought to jeopardize a sustainable future, and education is linked both to fertility rate and resource consumption. Educating females reduces fertility rates and therefore population growth. By reducing fertility rates and the threat of overpopulation, a country also facilitates progress toward sustainability. The opposite is true for the relationship between education and resource use.

Generally, more highly educated people, who have higher incomes, consume more resources than poorly educated people, who tend to have lower incomes. In this case, more education increases the threat to sustainability.”

I have not read all 140-plus pages, although what I have read is putting everything in place for our new global government. I am sure there will be some backlash on this one, but, what the heck, I didn’t make it up. I am just giving information.

Since we live in a majority-rule democracy, you would think that the government would then recognize the need to back away from the proposed resort.

However, if you thought that, you'd be wrong.

NOW RECYCLING LEAD ACID VEHICLE local governments pick up the tab.

BATTERIES This is a major legislative change, but

because the Liberals want to spin it otherwise, they say they didn't need to consult the Union of BC Municipalities.

That explains why the president had yet to be briefed about it when I called the office May 3. In fact, the Liberals didn't consult anyone on this change.

Norm and I spoke against this legislation, noting that it is undemocratic and a sneaky way to force Jumbo Glacier Resort down the throats of Kootenay residents. To watch the entire debate, go to www.michellemungall.ca. All NDP members proudly voted against this section of Bill 41.

During the debates, I asked the minister if this legislation — allowing government to create ghost towns governed by their appointees — “is about creating a resort municipality for Jumbo Glacier Resort.” Interestingly, she didn't say no.

Footnote: I'm sad to say that I have to miss the Creston Valley Blossom Festival this year. My husband, Zak, is spending two months in Ecuador volunteering his expertise as a nurse practitioner, and I will be there supporting him while the legislature is on a weeklong break.

Warm wishes for another fun year!

house several weeks ago. Anita, Christie and Cecile, the knowledgeable and kind greenhouse staff, guided us through planting and transplanting and we have moved many plants to the raised garden beds behind TAPS. This project started last year with support from the Vancouver Foundation and was so valuable to our community that the Krafty Kronys are helping out with some of the costs this year.

This week, the TAPS gentlemen got the TAPS garden beds ready and the seedlings have been planted. Our seniors will soon be taking lettuce and spinach home with them to supplement their grocery shopping. More vegetables will be planted, more seniors will have chores to keep the gardens weeded and watered, and more salads will be served at TAPS — all this from an idea about what seniors have to contribute. Thank you to the College of the Rockies Community Greenhouse staff and volunteers for getting us started and helping us keep growing.

TAPS receives many calls about support for seniors who may be facing financial fraud situations or who have questions about what support is available for them. TAPS manager Bridget Currie contacted the BC Centre for Elder Advocacy and Support and learned about an opportunity for TAPS to become more informed about this and similar topics. On June 14 and 15, there is a workshop in Kelowna

that will train interested persons to lead workshops in financial abuse prevention for older adults. The support of the Creston Valley and the Creston Rotary clubs has made it possible for TAPS to send our program manager, a volunteer and a TAPS member to this workshop.

These people will return to Creston ready to provide Protect Yourself financial literacy workshops. These workshops provide older adults with the information they need to protect their finances, recognize and respond to financial abuse, access community resources and make informed financial decisions. This is valuable information for all of us and will assist many people. The Rotary clubs recognize that this is an investment in the community and have supplied the funds necessary for travel and accommodation, expenses that are not part of our tight budget. Thank you, Rotarians, for your belief in TAPS and your donation to the community.

Most of us, perhaps especially seniors, have days when falling asleep would be the most wonderful thing that could happen.

Sometimes, that comes from auto-

The Voice of

Experience Mary Underhill

matically doing the same amount of work that we did 20 years ago, and at the same pace — then wondering why we are so darned tired! As I rapidly approach the 80-year mark, I’m finding that working for 15 minutes and then taking a 15-minute break helps. The only problem with that is that getting back into the work mode isn’t always easy.

Maybe another cup of coffee?

Let’s look at what suffers when we don’t get enough sleep at night: judgment, creative thinking, concentration, irritability and our sense of humour are just a few. We are less resilient and often more miserable within ourselves (and with others).

So what can we do about it?

Well, to start with, we need to remember that we’re all individuals, so we’ll need to design our own pre-sleep ritual. Here are a few hints for dealing with insomnia:

•Eliminate any physical causes, such as pillows, coffee and sleeping pills. Caffeine takes six to eight hours to leave the body, and that includes teas, colas and chocolate, as well as coffee.

•The body rapidly becomes used to sleeping pills, and one often needs more and more. Sometimes, they become an addiction. And the “hangover” from some sleeping pills disrupts our ability to concentrate. Relaxation doesn’t come in a bottle!

•Alcohol, after three or four hours, often affects people with a feeling of anxiety and restlessness, similar to the fight-or-flight response.

Letting go of irritation, worry, all the negative thoughts, feelings, tensions and stress is the first key to a good night’s sleep. Reflect over the day and select three things to feel good about (saying on, supporting a friend, taking time for a swim), relive and re-experience those positive moments.

Music therapy — slow, no lyrics, avoid “memories” music. Choose what is right for you. After lights out, play the same piece of music over and over until you go to sleep.

Didn’t work? Get up and play your music and at the same time, write down the thoughts the music brings forth until you get sleepy. The next day, read what you’ve written for some interesting insights.

Library documentary examines eating disorders CRESTON AND DISTRICT PUBLIC LIBRARY

The Creston and District Public Library invites you to look into the world of eating disorders with its presentation of the documentary film, Dying to be Thin, on May 26.

According to a 2002 survey conducted by the government of Canada, 1.5 per cent of Canadian

women aged 15-24 had a clinically diagnosed eating disorder.

Thirty-seven per cent of girls in Grade 9 and 40 per cent in Grade 10 perceived themselves as too fat, and 28 per cent of girls in Grade 9 and 29 per cent in Grade 10 were engaged in weight-loss behaviours.

In a popular culture that associates self-worth with an unat-

tainable physical appearance, body image issues can begin early in life. In a study of fiveyear-old girls, a significant proportion defined the word “diet” as food restriction, weight-loss and thinness.

Eating disorders can be deadly. Ten per cent of those affected by anorexia nervosa, an eating disorder characterized by exces-

Tips for sleeping well

From page 8 Colour therapy — blue is the colour of acceptance, calmness.

Visualize blue energy. Picture a softly rolling blue sea whose waves gently rock your bed (unless you are prone to seasickness). Think of deep blue twilight, birds nesting for the night.

Meditation — Dr. Herbert Benson, author of The Relaxation Response, found that the body’s metabolism drops further during a 20-minute meditation than it does during eight hours of sleep.

Affirmations — “My insomnia and anxiety melt away without my energy to feed them. Sleep is nature’s medicine. It comes to me gently and surrounds me. My eyes are heavy, my breathing is deep and free.”

Make up your own affirmation.

Some general hints: Establish a routine of getting up at the same time and going to bed the same time, seven days a week. If you can’t sleep, stop trying after half an hour, get up, then try again. And don’t do things like pay the bills while you’re up! Have a light snack (crackers, cereal, a muffin, but no excess sugar). Exercise early, not late. Use the bedroom for sleep and sex, nothing else, like TV. Keep the bedroom cool.

Above all, keep relaxed and happy. Good luck! Sleep well! And remember to take breaks during your workday — especially if you’re a senior!

Mary Underhill is a Creston stress therapist and grief counsellor.

Concert to raise funds

From page 8 Do you remember when our bus was stolen and damaged? We received many calls of support and a huge amount of publicity. There was a lot of talk about our dilemma and this led us to another opportunity for TAPS. Patrons and stylists at 12th Avenue Hair and Esthetics put their heads together. June Ebelher, whose daughter, Paula, owns 12th Ave. Hair and Esthetics, made contact with a relative who sings with a group from Kelowna.

This group, the Kelowna International Choir, has offered to present a fun-filled afternoon featuring music from the ’50s, ’60s and

’70s. The Kelowna International Choir will present Music from the Golden Age of Rock and Roll on May 27 at Prince Charles Theatre at 2 p.m. This fun-filled afternoon will have great music and refreshments and all proceeds will go to TAPS. Tickets are $10 and are available at Black Bear Books.

Each month in the Advance, TAPS has the opportunity to let you know what is happening for our seniors. These three activities are possible because our community supports us. Thank you again.

Terry Nowak is an outreach worker with the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors.

With so few of these cars existing, parts are hard to find, particularly when trying to do a serious restoration — authentic numbers are stamped on parts, including hoses.

“If you don’t have the right numbers, it’s not a complete restoration,” said Clemens.

So he turned to the Internet, where he scoured car part websites and discussion groups to find what he was looking for.

A rear quarter panel was one of the hardest parts to find — for a reasonable price, anyway. When Clemens first found one, the dealer wanted $300. The price jumped to $600 the next time he inquired, then soared to $1,200, and finally $1,500 before a reproduction became available for $600.

The Internet also made it possible for others to follow the restoration’s progress, with Barracuda enthusiasts keeping a close eye on Clemens’ Facebook page.

Among those are some of the car’s previous owners, all five of whom live in the same area.

Every moment of every day they are with us. In the sweet smell of spring - when the world is fresh from the rain and when the ďƒžrst robin sings; In the quiet of the night; In laughter and in tears.

Whenever we need them, they are there with a love as deep as the ocean and a faith that can move mountains.

We carry them with us and so they live on as we attempt to pay forward all the gifts that they gave and continue to give even to this day.

We are blessed to have been a part of their lives.

We miss them “all-waysâ€?‌ Don, Dorothy, Crystal & Michelle Wilf, Linda & Family Rick, Pat, Cory & Morgan Ken, Karla & Family Ann & Bill Les & Erma

It is with deep sadness that the family of Anne-Marie Erickson announces her passing on May 1, 2012.

Born November 6, 1959 in Seattle, Washington, Anne-Marie moved at an early age with her family to Burns Lake, BC where she spent her early years.

She later lived in Prince George, Creston, and ďƒžnally Kamloops.

For over 20 years, Anne-Marie was a passionate advocate for people with disabilities, whether as a special education teacher’s assistant; program director and employment training specialist; or ďƒžnally as an employment service coordinator. She was a strong believer in inclusiveness and accessibility for all.

A life-long traveller, she experienced the wonder of seeing Canada from coast to coast; biking through the Yukon Territory and Alaska; and the pleasure of visiting Tahiti, Hawaii, Denmark, Paris, Mexico (many times), Australia (twice), New Zealand, and Venezuela. A true lover of nature, she enjoyed skiing, camping, backpacking, hiking, and ďƒžshing, although, snorkelling with tropical ďƒžsh and sea turtles was her ultimate joy. Her Life was one ďƒžlled with zest and adventure, and albeit cut too short, Anne-Marie truly had an epic journey in a life well lived.

She is survived by her mother Elise Erickson and sister Christine Alonzo, as well as her husband Bob Cliffe and his three daughters Erin, Shannon, and Alanna.

Anne-Marie was also a proud grandmother to Maia, and an aunt and great aunt to numerous nieces and nephews.

At this time, the family would like to give special thanks to Dr. Baker, Dr. Bishop, and Marilyn for all their care, support and kindness over many years.

In lieu of ďƒ&#x;owers, donations in Anne-Marie’s memory to Kamloops Hospice Association; Royal Inland Hospital Foundation; or Canadian Cancer Society would be greatly appreciated.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, May 19, 2012 at 2:00 p.m. in the Schoening Funeral Chapel with Pastor Don Maione ofďƒžciating.

Love Patsy Anne, Shannon and Miles!

Service arrangements are entrusted to Schoening Funeral Service, 513 Seymour Street, Kamloops, Telephone (250) 374-1454.

fiddler accompanied by piano and bass. Later on the same stage, Wendell Ferguson will mark his return to Creston, showing off his exceptional skills as a guitarist. He will make you laugh, and make you proud to recognize another Canadian that is totally turned on by the Creston Valley.

The second event is being put on by the efforts of that hard working group of ladies known as the GoGo Grannies. Last year, the Blossom Festival’s 70-Plus Ladies Pageant featured a group of ladies over 70 competing for the title of queen.

Two runners up were also chosen. It was a big hit.

This year, the GoGo Grannies are back but this time they are going after the men with the 50+ Gentlemen’s Challenge. Some lucky members of the community will be showing off their skills doing a hobby project, a baking project, and a modelling of outfits depicting their dream occupation. This event, like last year’s, will be a hoot. The pageant takes place Saturday afternoon at the Creston and District Community Complex, where they will be serving tea, sandwiches and a special dessert.

Like other years we have tried

Well I certainly don’t feel my age as I reflect on the Creston Valley Blossom Festival. There aren’t many festivals left in Canada that can claim being in operation for 71 years with no signs of slowing down. We have survived four wars and economic uncertainty, yet the festival continues to survive each year. We only have one paid employee who receives a very small honorarium.

The rest of the festival hinges on the efforts of a hard working group of volunteers whose only objective is to put on an area wide event that will bring the community together each spring.

Each year, new events are introduced while at the same time the core events that have been successful over the years continue to flourish. We are grateful for the support of the people of the Creston Valley along with that of the business community, and various government groups who realize that the festival needs funding to sustain itself.

This year, to celebrate the 71st, two special events are being held.

On Friday, the stage show will open with the Velle Weitman Trio, a fine

71ST BLOSSOM FESTIVAL

www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca B3

Seven-time CCMA winner headlining opening

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Three years ago, Wendell Ferguson kicked off the Creston Valley Blossom Festival with a musical tour de force that had the audience stomping its feet, howling with laughter and calling for more.

On May 18, he makes a return engagement and he said he can’t wait to get back to play for an appreciative audience and enjoy the hospitality that left him with such a good impression that he isn’t coming alone this time.

“I had such a great time there last time,” he said from Ontario.

“Wonderfully warm and receptive audience and I had fun seeing the sights Creston has to offer. I met some really nice people that I’ve kept in touch with. This time I’m bringing my wife along as she loves the mountains and has heard me rave about Creston. I tell her it won’t be some Blah Festival, it’ll be the Blossom Festival.”

Ferguson is in huge demand as a guitarist and is a masterful solo and group performer as well. He was named the Canadian Country Music Association’s (CCMA) guitar player of the year a ridiculous six consecutive years (1995-2000).

After his seventh guitar award, the CCMA “retired” him and made him ineligible to win more.

He’s recorded with Gordon Lightfoot, Robbie Robertson and the Arrogant Worms, and performed alongside the likes of Shania Twain, the Dixie Chicks and George Fox.

to attend CRS (Country Radio Seminar) Week in Nashville. I then proceeded to Memphis, where my wife joined me as I performed four showcases for Folk Alliance International. It’s sort of a conference where buyers and artistic directors go to hear talent.

“Since then I’ve been busy around Ontario with a week long tour of northern Ontario and some gigs around southern Ontario, too. I cover Canada like the snow (but we haven’t had much of that this year), but I am heading west several more times this year.”

Obviously, he isn’t coming to Creston out of boredom.

After headlining at the Blossom Festival he returns home to Toronto and then comes back to B.C. “I think they route me with a map of Canada and a dart. But the map’s behind them when they throw it!”

His DVD, Wendell’s Cranky Christmas, won two film awards — the platinum Remi Award for best special music video production at the Houston International Film Festival — “and that’s Houston, Texas, not Houston, B.C.,” he said — and the best international musical short at the New York International Independent Film Festival.

Wendell Ferguson at the Creston Valley Blossom Festival in 2009.

The guy is good. Make that great. And he’s got a wicked sense of humour, too. His 2006 album, The $#!T Hits The Fans, was nominated as album of year by the CCMA. So what has Ferguson been up to lately?

“Well, in January I was in Rochester, N.Y., for my sixth consecutive appearance at

Heartland Concerts. They seem to think I take away their January doldrums. I would think I’m a ‘carrier’!

“Next I did a 10-day tour around northern Alberta, stopping in Grande Prairie, Calgary, Whitecourt, St. Albert, Athabasca and ending with a festival in Edmonton. Then I flew home and left the next day

“Plus my latest CD, the all-instrumental Menage A Moi won the 2010 Canadian Folk Music award for instrumental album of the year.”

Ferguson’s performance was thanks to the efforts of his old friend, Creston’s Michael Farnsworth. The original plan was to produce a life webcast.

“Well the funding for the webcasting didn’t pan out,” Ferguson laughed. “But Michael had already arranged the cameras and operators so that just kinda fell into place.

(Well from my perspective anyway, I’m sure him and his guys have put a lot of work, thought and hours into it already).

“Also, I have to give a shout out to John Huscroft for getting me back out here, too. He’s been instrumental in having me return and showing me so much hospitality already.”

Tickets for the 2012 Blossom Festival opening ceremonies, including announcement of the Citizen of the Year and Ferguson’s concert — he will follow local musicians Velle Weitman and her trio — are available at Black Bear Books and the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce.

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff A Saturday night Creston Valley Blossom Festival highlight will feature a beer and appetizer tasting event to be followed with a dance featuring Nightshade.

The tasting event cashes in on the benefits of having the Columbia Brewery based in Creston.

It not only brews and has access to a wide variety of beer, but it has the expertise of brewmaster Scott Stokes to draw on.

“We are really lucky to have Scott here,” says Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce executive director Jim Jacobsen. “He travels to various events and talks to others about how well different types of beer match with different food, so it should be a lot of fun. Beer and food is a combination that is really taking off with people who are interested in heightening their dining experience.”

Stokes wasn’t about to reveal all that he has up his sleeve for the event, but he credited Extra Foods manager Donovan Gigliotti with arranging for President’s Choice appetizers for this first-ever Beer and Bites event.

“I’ll be talking about beer-making basics and about how different beers affect the taste of food,” he says. “We’ll have samples of our raw materials for guests to smell and taste to get a better understanding of the process.”

Stokes has delivered the program to other events for Columbia Brewing mother company InBev, one of the world’s largest producers of beer.

“It’s fascinating to learn how different styles of beers influence and compliment the flavor of food,” he said. “Pairing food and wine — that’s what this is all about.”

Jacobsen said the chamber of commerce is organizing the event to support the Blossom Festival and help fill a void on Saturday night, which hasn’t featured a dance.

“We’ve been lucky to partner with Rick and Jan Potyok and their band, Nightshade,” Jacobsen said.

The chamber of commerce is helping with the Potyoks’ House of Rock youth dance on Friday night and they are returning the favour by playing on Saturday night.

Beer and Bites tickets are $25 per person and are available at the chamber of commerce at 121 Northwest Blvd. Tickets for the dance only are $10 and are also available at the door.

Grannies hosting challenge for men 50 and over

BY MARY UNDERHILL

Remember when Dolly Kaetler won the Over 70 Ladies Pageant and became the 2011 Creston Valley Blossom Festival Queen? Well, the Creston GoGo Grannies are offering something a little different this year — a 50-Plus Gentlemen’s Challenge.

Five categories of competition for each contestant will undoubtedly provide plenty of entertainment for the audience: food or a baking item made by the contestant, a handmade or hobby item made by the contestant, a fashion parade with the theme “What you want to be when you grow up”, a talent and speaking, in response to two impromptu questions.

Prizes will be awarded to the top three, with matching dollar amounts going to the contestants’ sponsors or their charity of choice.

This afternoon of fun, complete with luncheon, runs from 1-4 p.m. May 19 at the Creston and District Community Complex.

Velle Weitman Trio kicking off Blossom Fest opening stage show

BY HUGH JOHNSTON

Velle Weitman grew up in one of the most creative families in Creston, the Huscrofts. It was a large, multi-talented and closely knit family that Velle missed after she left here to find herself in show business.

She eventually ended up on Vancouver Island and while playing her fiddle and singing in an Irish pub in Victoria called the Penny Farthing, it was love at first sight when upright bass and electric bass player Aaron Weitman saw her.

Things rapidly progressed and the couple spent their honeymoon two years later performing on the folk festival circuit in northern B.C. Three children later, they felt it would be easier to move to Creston.

Velle has performed and recorded all over Canada, the U.S.A. and the U.K. She also runs a Suzuki and fiddle program called Velvet Strings.

It was of all things, violin lessons that Velle met her musical match in pianist Julie Matthews.

Both had lots in common, both being music teachers and parents of young children, one of whom was a student of Velle’s.

Julie comes from a very musical family where she could play piano by ear at age four and later jammed with her grandfathers. The aspiring piano player could play boogie woogie and she even toured the world singing barbershop. She has enjoyed a fantastic career of teaching piano, flute, guitar, recorder, bass, saxophone and composition.

Put Aaron, Julie and Velle together and you have the Velle Weitman Trio, the opening act at Friday’s Blossom Fest stage show, which starts at 7 p.m. in the Prince Charles Theatre.

Canada’s greatest guitar picker, Wendell Ferguson will close the show, showcasing his talents as a songwriter, singer, guitarist and

Bands playing on Millennium Park stage SUBMITTED Millennium Park will come to life on Saturday afternoon following the parade, when 60 Hertz and Peanut Butter and Jam take to the stage for a free concert.

The original music of 60 Hertz flows easily from countryish, bluesy ballads to flat out rock ’n’ roll but always with an honest,

simple and personal touch. 60 Hertz knows how to captivate their audience by creating and delivering their original music with an engaging and fresh stage presence that is a real treat to experience.

“The name 60 Hertz, although it has nothing to do with age references, certainly sits well on this bunch of ‘old guys’,” said Rod

Wilson in the Cranbrook Daily Townsman. “Not only have the band members been musical comrades for many years, their musical instruments have been around for much of that ride.

James Neve's acoustic Larrivee guitar must be one of the earliest instruments made by that premier luthier, Jean Larrivee.

Dave Birch’s bass was old when he purchased it back in the ’70s.

“So there you have it — old musicians, old instruments and new technology, all combined with the finest of song writing.

The results are performances that continue to sparkle regardless of how many times the band has been out there.”

James Neve (rhymes with Steve) is the songwriter, guitarist and lead vocalist, Dave Birch the energetic bass player, Rob Young is the master of the many moods and effects created by his Strat and Marty creates the hammock with his rock solid drumming style and sense of volume and dynamics. Their

tight weave of vocal and instrumental lines are evidence of a strong melodic influence ranging from early Beatles and the Band to the Roches and Little Feat.

“This is a rock quartet with polish, panache and originality, probably the tightest and most original group in the East Kootenay,” said Wilson.

60 Hertz will share the stage with Creston’s own Peanut Butter and Jam. Bob Gollan, Julie Groot and Debra Mehrer have played and performed individually with each other at many musical events throughout the valley. In 2005, they decided to form a small group to perform a wide variety of easy listening songs, featuring lead vocals by Bob and Julie, and, of course, the harmonies.

Bob originally hails from the Annapolis Valley, N.S., and has lived in Wynndel since 1992.

Julie was born and raised right here in the Creston Valley.

Debra was born in Whitehorse and after travelling the country her family settled in the valley in 1969. Chris is originally from Dublin, Ireland, but has been in Canada for many years and has settled in Creston.

Join the Erickson history book committee from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. May 19 at the former Garden Bakery on Canyon Street. View a display of past Creston Valley Blossom Festival queen candidates, highlighting those from Erickson and enjoy plenty of historical photos and info.

Also featured, at 1 p.m., will be a reading of specially selected portions of Evah (née Cartwright) McKowen’s 1919 book, Janet of Kootenay, by Renee Phypers, Jordan Koop, Ann Deatherage and Gail Kitt.

“There are many books that attempt to paint a picture of life in the Creston Valley just after the

turn of the century but unlike Janet of Kootenay they were all written decades after the fact,” said committee volunteer Jason Smith. “This book paints a rare and accurate picture of life in the valley during the First World War.” At 2 p.m. visitors can enjoy musical guests Jayli and Hayden Wolf.

The event allows Erickson residents to find out how they can submit their family’s history and view examples of histories already submitted.

“We want to hear your story or just come on down for a visit and have some tea or coffee,” said committee chair Sharon Brennan. “After the parade, there will be plenty of goodies and refreshments available by donation.”

Blossom Festival parade set to wow crowds

BY HUGH JOHNSTON

One of the major events of the Creston Valley Blossom Festival is the Saturday morning parade. In the early hours of May 19, volunteers begin the task of turning the Prince Charles Secondary School parking lot into a staging area for the big parade. Milk jugs are coded with numbers and the various components of the parade are assigned spots. As the clock keeps ticking, more and more entries begin to line

winners have been notified and another group of volunteers carries placards in front of the winning entries, which will draw a huge hand as the parade winds its way down Canyon from 18th Avenue to Devon Street.

Oh, what a parade it is!

Dignitaries, like the citizen of the year, who was named the night before, completes his or her first official task of riding in a convertible in the parade.

Members of Creston town council, including the mayor, and politicians from the area at the

later on that same day they will be offering rides at the children’s show.

Most people have their favourites. Some like to see that vintage cars will be making an appearance Sunday in the custom car show on Canyon Street. Others like the performance cars, while still others like the demolition derby cars.

All parades have to come to an end and Creston is no different from other towns and cities. The fire department shines and polishes up several of their units and the sirens wail as they bring the parade to a happy conclusion.

The Creston Valley Blossom Festival welcomes all to enjoy the parade.

Come early and pick your spot!
