A garage door that was scheduled to be removed as the Ingham Arts and Culture Centre renovations progress was the victim of a runaway construction trailer on Sept. 5.

“Thank goodness it didn’t hit a bearing wall or that no one was walking or cycling on the sidewalk when the trailer came free,” said Simon Lazarchuk, a director of the Friends of the Ingham Arts and Culture Centre Society, a group that has taken on the challenge of turning the building on Canyon Street at 15th Avenue into a performance and display space.

The trailer was parked at a restaurant across Canyon Street, where crews were busy redoing a tar and gravel roof.

It was “being filled with gravel and debris from the roof when it came free,” Lazarchuk said.

Much of the success of the Project Somos is credited to volunteers. Over 100 have visited in 2012 and have offered their time and energy to the construction efforts.

There are many tasks that the willing workers can help with and they return home with a great feeling of gratification. Recently, a group of volunteers planted 50 fruit trees and 70 blackberry bushes. They left knowing their work would provide food for the children in the years to come.

An important facet of the sustainability plan is to establish social enterprises that

The evening featured a speech from Berukoff, who highlighted the significance and importance of the health care auxiliaries in leading the push to make the campaign a reality, to organizations such as the Lions Club who showed faith by committing to take the campaign to its goal, to the faces of the campaign that literally brought life to the purpose and benefits of the equipment, and to all those donors, big and small, that made a charitable gift along the way.

“I was really overcome by emotion when the reality hit that we all made something beautiful happen,” said EKFH executive director Donna Grainger. “For me, the campaign was not just about the financial outcome but about the wonderful array of moments that remind you how precious life is. A Clear View has impacted my life so wonderfully.”

Should any donations be received by EKFH over and above the campaign goal, those funds will be held in trust for the diagnostic imagingmammography fund, as some additional equipment pieces may be required after the digital stereotactic equipment arrives at EKRH.

Trailer crash

From page 1 He said that project organizers breathed a sigh of relief that the damage wasn’t greater. The good news, he said, is that the society has recently been awarded a community economic development grant by the Regional District of Central Kootenay to help with renovations to the building.

C o i n c i d e n t a l l y, RCMP Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan was walking along Canyon Street to work when he saw the trailer roll across Canyon Street. “Fortunately, the weight load caused the trailer’s tongue to bounce up and down on the pavement, slowing its progress,� he said. “If it wasn’t for that, it could very easily have gone right through the door and into the building.�

CHOP, CHOP — What do you do when you have outgrown a house, but like the one you have? A Canyon couple needed more space for their two kids, so they opted to have a new foundation built and to use the house they were living in as a base for a new home. How was it done? Contractors cut the original home into two pieces with chainsaws and a lot of careful planning, then a crane operator carefully moved each half into position on the new concrete basement walls. The residents hope to move into their new home by the end of September.

Jumbo process explained to RDEK board

BY SALLY MacDONALD Cranbrook Daily Townsman

Board members at the regional district are now more enlightened on the process for Jumbo Glacier Resort to become a mountain resort municipality.

On July 10, Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) board chair Rob Gay and chief administrative officer Lee-Ann Crane met with staff from the B.C. Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development to go over concerns about the potential municipality.

On Friday, Gay and Crane reported on the meeting to the board of directors. Crane reported on 18 items the ministry has to finalize in creating a mountain resort municipality in the Jumbo Valley. Among those items, ministry staff told the RDEK representatives that initially the mountain resort municipality would consist of an appointed council of three. “Ideally those three appointments would be drawn from locals,� said Crane. “There is a very strict provincial process they have to go through for finding and appointing people to any provincial body.�

The appointed council would be replaced by an elected council of five once the municipality has enough taxpayers to warrant an election, the ministry told the RDEK, but did not provide a specific number for how many residents that would require.

In September 2009, the RDEK board passed a motion saying it is concerned that a non-elected representative of the Jumbo mountain resort municipality could sit on the board. That issue came up at the meeting, Crane said. “However, under legislation right now it does require that it would be an elected official which means waiting for a municipal election,� said Crane. “There certainly was no specific timeline.

The consultation processes are going to have a lot to do with it because they are going to have that to get through.�

The province signed a master development agreement with the proponents of Jumbo Glacier Resort in March, giving it a green light after 22 years. On May 9, the B.C. legislature passed amendments to the Local Government Act that would allow the province to create a mountain resort municipality and appoint a mayor and council before there were any permanent residents.

The ministry also ironed out some corporate issues with the regional districts. The developer would have to fund municipal start-up projects such as an official community plan. The municipality would not be allowed to undertake any long-term borrowing during the development stage. It would be allowed and encouraged to implement development cost charges. The municipality would participate in the same regional district services as other municipalities in the RDEK. "My thoughts were they had spent some considerable time putting this together to share it with us and agreed they would visit us many times as this goes forward," said Gay. The report received a mixed response. Area A director Mike Sosnowski said it cleared up some of the uncertainty the board felt over a mountain resort municipality designation.

However, Columbia Valley directors Ute Juras (Canal Flats), Gerry Taft (Invermere) and Gerry Wilkie (Area G) were concerned by the report.

"In my view what you have listed is a template for British Columbia's newest Crown corporation," said Wilkie.

"My personal opinion is it's unfair to say this appointed three-person council would be autonomous if their only role is to rubber stamp the master plan,� said Taft. “They don't have any other choice. They're not allowed to amend it.

They can do public consultation on an official community plan but they are not allowed to change anything. They have to adopt it. It's a banana republic; it's ridiculous," said Taft.

NDCC staff vote to strike Nelson Star Staff Unionized staff at the Nelson and District Community Complex have voted “overwhelmingly� in favour of job action.

The members of CUPE sublocal 2262, which represents 55 employees at the arena, swimming pool, and fitness facility, held the strike vote on Saturday afternoon, according to a news release from the union.

A majority of members turned out to cast ballots, and all voted in favour of a strike. “No one wants to go down this road, but the regional district has left us little choice,� local president Leford Lafayette said in the statement. “It all comes down to wages, term, and benefits: we asked for cost of living and minor benefit increases, but they said no.�

Their employer is the Regional District of Central Kootenay.

Lafayette said they have been offered a two-year agreement that expires in six months. Since the last collective agreement expired a year and a half ago, the sides have met several times, but been unable to reach a mediated settlement, he added. “They came after every cornerstone of our collective agreement: seniority, hours of work provisions, and full-time/parttime designations,� Lafayette said. “We spent a long time negotiating back and forth on language.�

He said the regional district offered wage increases of one per cent in each of the two years, but no benefit increases.

Nelson Star

Fifty-five staff at the Nelson and District Community Complex have voted to strike.

“If the union were to agree to this, we'd be behind the cost of living by three per cent over the last three years.�

The union is seeking a threeyear contract with a cost of living hike over the term.

CUPE 2262 members include fitness technicians, lifeguards, aquafit and swimming instructors, as well as maintenance, custodians, customer service reps, and child minders.

Neither the union nor management at the complex could immediately be reached for further comment.

Election shakes status quo

It was a statement I never believed would have come out of my mouth. “Go PQ.� I made that comment on election day in Quebec a couple of weeks ago, not because I support the province leaving Canada, but because I wanted to see how Prime Minister Stephen Harper would respond after having made huge efforts to bring la belle province into his party’s fold.

Harper is a canny politico and he knows that if he can garner a majority of seats in Quebec and keep up, and even increase, Conservative Party support in Ontario, he can look forward to keeping a comfortable majority in the House of Commons in the next election.

Mathematically, the West is pretty much irrelevant and the Maritime provinces are meaningless to any party that can dominate Central Canada.

Since the late 1960s, Quebec has played both ends against the middle, using the threat of separation to ensure preferable treatment from whichever party is governing Canada. To be honest, until recently, I would have been among Canadians who would flock to Quebec if they thought it would help deliver the message that the province is wanted in Canada.

After all, we share nearly a century-and-a-half as part of this nation and it seems almost unthinkable that the province would want to go it alone despite all we have in common. In my limited travels in

Quebec I have enjoyed every minute and I like what the province’s differences bring to our national palate.

Wynndel letter writer apologizes

To the Editor: (Re: “Neighbours too noisy”, Aug. 2 Advance, page 7) I owe the good people of Wynndel a great big apology. I apologize for trying to make a point and sounding bitter about choosing Wynndel as my home.

For this I am truly sorry. Someone remind me never to run for politics (the last thing I would ever consider). I love Wynndel and the people that live here as it has been one of the friendliest places I have ever been.

I would also like to apologize for plucking on my banjo, as I should have known it would not be well tolerated by some. Bagpipe and accordion players run into the same problem. All sounds are not noise. For instance, the train is one of the enduring sounds in the valley. Twice a day, the sound of the train echoes in the valley, and to me it is reassuring that all is well. It has a very melodic sound to the whistle.

Also, the sound of Wynndel Box and Lumber is very reassuring — the sound of commerce. Many Wynndel families depend on that company for their livelihood. The sound of construction in the village is also reassuring that all is well and progressing.

But the sound of lawnmowers, whipper snippers and leafblowers after a long day was not enjoyable, compounded by the cool, rainy spring giving way to days a person could enjoy this beautiful valley on the deck in the evening was too much for my feeble mind. I lost it and wrote a letter to the editor that I will regret till my dying day.

Please understand I am only human and made a grave mistake that I am truly sorry for. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Bryan Wuzinski Wynndel

Election will be historic

To the Editor: The upcoming U.S. federal election on Nov. 6 may very well be one of the most historic since 1980, when Ronald Reagan was elected president. It’s difficult to believe it was 32 years ago because for me it seemed like only yesterday. In my opinion, the Reagan era (1981-1989) was a much kinder, gentler and less complicated time, and there is a part of me that will always miss that unique decade of the 1980s.

However, it is important to move forward, especially in this post-9/11 world with new challenges and problems to solve. Anyway, it will be interested to see who will be elected this year, whether it be Mitt Romney or the incumbent Barack Obama, whose election in 2008 was also historic. I believe that someday the United States just may elect a woman president, whether she is Republican or Democrat. The same can be said for us here in Canada, that we may have a woman as prime minister — preferably Conservative, that is (no offense to anyone who holds different political views).

In order to be an exceptional and effective leader, he or she must be honest, sincere, compassionate, able to speak from the heart, have a warm personality and a sense of humour, but

OpiniOn Line

also strong-willed, who can make difficult decisions when it is necessary to do so, for the greater good of all. Also, he or she must be someone that is not afraid, nor ashamed to express emotion and shed tears (just like me). Having faith is not a bad thing, either.

In regard to my own philosophy, I am conservative, but also progressive, believing in equality between men and women, protecting health care, education, the environment, working with unions in a positive way (non-union employees are also important), helping those who are less fortunate and building a better world for future generations.

In conclusion, I would like to wish former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher, known as the Iron Lady, who will be turning 87 years young on Oct. 13, a happy birthday.

See you at the Terry Fox Run on Sept. 16, and keep thinking positively, everyone!

Allan Clement Creston

Consider the climate To the Editor: (Open letter to the provincial commission of the Electoral Boundaries Readjustment Act) This letter is a request to the provincial commission to reexamine the mandates of readjustment considerations before redrawing the electoral boundaries once again.

I maintain climate change should be our No. 1 consideration. According to the 2007 government of Canada report on climate change, From Impacts to Adaptation — Canada in a Changing Climate 2007, “It needs to be understood that there will be no return to the previous normal. Instead, we face an ongoing process of change that will continue for decades to centuries. It is therefore not a case of planning for a different stable future climate, but of building the capacity and flexibility to cope with whatever evolving climate may bring in the future.

This is not uncertainty regarding whether climate will change, but rather about the speed and magnitude of climate change over time.”

British Columbia’s Provincial Emergency Program reports that the frequency, severity and cost of extreme weather events causing personal and economic losses due to infrastructure damage rose dramatically as a result of wildfires, drought, storm surges, heavy rains causing flooding and landslides, and warmer winter weather, resulting in ice jams, freezing rain and rain-onsnow events. These 2003-2005 events cost B.C. taxpayers an average of $86 million per year in payouts of disaster financial assistance, compared to an average of $10 million per year from 1999-2002.

The supersaturation slide at Johnson’s Landing illustrated how poorly prepared the Kootenay region is to cope with what is forecast to become a regular occurrence in the region by the federal report.

Climate change could cause an increase in supersaturation slides that would interrupt Columbia Basin river flows and electrical supplies to the province of B.C. and downstream U.S.A. It is completely within the realm of possibility that such a slide could cause an inland tsunami that overwhelms an upriver dam, causing a catastrophic domino effect downriver.

Much more efficient would be having all the dams in one riding. Our federal representative should have direct contact with the Columbia Basin dam manager and have a complete overview of the river systems. Geo-hazard mapping

should be done to identify potential problem areas, and local emergency technician teams trained to respond to overfull dams, washed out bridges, slides, fires, devastating winds, stranded communities, medical emergencies and interrupted communication networks The success of climate adaptation will be the responsibility of our elected representatives and their ability to maneuver within their realistically manageable ridings. I propose that geography and historical patterning trumps population numbers in regards to mandate considerations for responsible climate change adaptation and mitigation. Current population numbers are well within plus or minus 25 per cent, begging the issue of electoral readjustment at this time. If boundaries are to be readjusted at all, they should be changed to accommodate the serious reality of climate change.

Pickers welcome at Gleaners

NOW RECYCLING LEAD ACID To the Editor: VEHICLE (Re: “Pickers are among the finest peoBATTERIES ple”, Aug. 23 Advance, page 7)

Anytime you have a large group of people come into a town, there will always be a few bad apples that give that group a bad name.

It could be a convention of lawyers and a few of them go to the pubs, get drunk and generally stir up trouble.

People will say they don’t want those conventioneers back again.

It could be a large influx of pickers and a few of them decide to shoplift and people might say they have a problem with pickers shoplifting. It is very unfortunate that a few individuals in a group can give the rest of the group a bad name.

Susan, you made a comment that I found to be a bit flippant: “I was in Gleaners today and one volunteer was following around a group of pickers, probably making sure they weren’t going to steal their $2 items.” It doesn’t matter if it is $2 or $100, it’s theft. Like any large business, Gleaners has a problem with theft. And as anyone in retail can tell you, after a while you get a feel for who might be doing it. It is also unfortunate that a few individuals can cause suspicion to be cast on the whole.

Gleaners is very busy and the ladies that volunteer there work very hard to give you the best shopping experience they can. Maybe this volunteer you spoke to was just a bit tired of seeing stuff stolen. I won’t criticize her for what she did.

At Gleaners Too, our experience with the pickers has always been positive.

With their dreadlocks, the style of clothes they choose to wear and their unique French accent, they are an interesting bunch of people. I can only imagine what an interesting lifestyle they must live. It makes me want to be young again and experience some of the things I never did.

We look forward every year to the pickers coming. They are great for the community as a whole. Not only do they keep the orchards alive but they spend their money in the community.

It’s a trickle-down effect. The money they spend at Gleaners goes back to the community. Everyone benefits.

The picking season is almost over.

As the pickers move on we wish them a bon voyage and look forward to seeing them next year.

Hutton filming second season of Arctic Air

Who: Pascale Hutton What: Characters that come to life on television and movie screens Where: From her home base in Vancouver When: In the ongoing starring role of CBC’s Arctic Air, guests spots and movie roles as they are offered Why: She has loved performing in front of an audience for as long as she can remember

handsome young First Nations actor who stars on Arctic Air. Hutton, a Prince Charles Secondary School grad who also has a starring role in the hit CBC TV series, Arctic Air, not surprisingly, is gracious with her answer. The wife and mother is drop-dead gorgeous and has a smile that lights up every room she enters.

Hutton plays Krista Ivarson, an airplane pilot and daughter of the airline owner (played by Kevin McNulty). Beach co-stars as Bobby Martin, a former venture capitalist who returned to his northern roots in season one.

When Hutton was last interviewed by the Advance, CBC had just telecast the first two episodes of Arctic Air and filming had ended months earlier. Initial ratings were high, with each show averaging more than a million viewers, and Canada’s national broadcaster was promoting the series with more enthusiasm than viewers had seen in years, or perhaps ever. But everyone involved with the series — 10 episodes in the first season — was waiting on pins and needles to hear if the series would be renewed.

“I found out about the renewal before it was officially announced and it was hard because I really couldn’t tell anyone,” she confides.

“But it took away from the excitement because I couldn’t really celebrate when the news came out!”

Since that story appeared, life has

“Everyone was kind of prepared for [the cancellation] so it was not entirely a surprise,” Hutton says. “I don’t think it had run its course and it had a devout fan base, but it always had challenges in terms of funding.”

For her performance in the Sanctuary episode “Fugue”, she won a Leo Award for best guest performance by a female in a dramatic series.

“I was especially thrilled because I got to sing on that episode,” she said.

“I’m always open to singing, but there aren’t a lot of opportunities. I would love to have the opportunity to sing more.”

Shooting for Arctic Air’s second season is now in full swing. While most of the production happens in a Vancouver studio, location footage is filmed in and around Yellowknife, the setting for a series that centres around a small regional airline.

“The biggest difference between the seasons is that last year the show was trying to find its legs — to underBY LORNE ECKERSLEY stand what works and what doesn’t Advance Staff work,” she says. “The characters and their relationships needed a chance to “So, who’s cuter — you or Adam develop.

Small batches make jam flavourful and popular

C

aroline Martin owns an orchard and fruit stand.

Tammy Hardwick is wellknown for tasty jams and jellies.

Put them together and you have the Creston Valley Jam Company, through which they offer products Story and made with fruits both photo by expected, including peaches, strawberries and raspBrian berries, and unusual, such Lawrence as elderberries and crabapples. The rare and unexpected ingredients are making it popular.

“This is why it’s selling,” said Hardwick, who also manages the Creston Museum.

The wide range of local fruit is also a key selling point with customers.

“It’s amazing how many varieties you get just with the fruit in the valley,” said Martin, who owns Cherrybrook Farms with her husband, Gordon.

The idea to join forces was Martin’s, who saw Hardwick giving away over 400 jars of jam she made while preparing Creston Valley Fall Fair entries a couple of years ago. They could be sold, she thought, particularly Hardwick’s awardwinning crabapple jelly.

“Anybody who grew up on the Prairies loves crabapple jelly and can’t find it in stores,” said Hardwick.

Growing up in the West Kootenay, Hardwick helped her mom make jam, and began using her mom’s equipment after she arrived in the valley.

“Since I moved to Creston, I’ve become the purveyor of jam for the whole family,” she said. “I’ve got Christmas gifts for the whole family.

My nieces and nephews all get personalized jars.”

When the museum’s maintenance worker gave her a banana box of cherries, Hardwick, who had expected only an ice cream bucket full, made jam and gave most of it to her sister, who paid her back with raspberries and blueberries — a lot of raspberries and blueberries. Hint hint.

Much of the fruit used in Creston Valley Jam Company’s products is “imperfect” — too misshapen, bruised or otherwise damaged to sell at fruit stands, which typically see about 30 per cent wasted. Considering the number of

Caroline Martin (left) and Tammy Hardwick of the Creston Valley Jam Company.

orchards and growers in the valley, Hardwick and Martin’s venture could — and, perhaps, should — become the first of many.

“There’s a huge market for it,” said Martin.

Because some of the fruit used in the jams and jellies is available in small quantities, the selection offered is constantly changing — their first batch of mulberry was scheduled to be processed this week. A recent batch came from Maglio plums, a variety developed in Nelson, and random excess fruit is tossed

together to create “jumble” jam, a dozen jars of which were recently sold to one customer — while they were still warm.

“It feels good when I can’t keep up with the demand,” said Hardwick, who is currently looking for unsprayed dandelions to create yet another variety.

In addition to allowing for full fruit flavours, the small batches make it possible for new kinds of jam to be made quickly — Hardwick’s record for a batch of jelly is 24 minutes, and 28 for a batch of jam.

“I have it down to a science,” she said.

“We have it down to a science, too — we sell them quite fast,” said Martin with a laugh.

The thing is, people love homemade jam, but other things get in the way of making it themselves.

“A lot of people don’t have time to make it,” said Martin.

At least, they think they don’t, added Hardwick.

“Just do two or three batches a week and you’ll be a pro,” she said.

Reach A Reader fundraiser returning next month COLUMBIA BASIN ALLIANCE FOR LITERACY

The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL), a non-profit charity, joins with Black Press for the second annual Reach A Reader campaign on Oct. 11.

On Oct. 11, when you buy the Creston Valley Advance from CBAL and Black Press staff and volunteers out on the town, all funds go to supporting literacy programs in that community.

“The Reach A Reader campaign is an important way for us to promote our regionwide commitment to building literacy skills and healthy learning communities,” said CBAL executive director Ali Wassing.

This joint campaign demonstrates Black Press’s dedication to building literacy skills in the communities it serves and helping CBAL stretch its reach. Reading is at the heart of CBAL’s drive to help citizens improve literacy skills, engage in lifelong learning and increase their confidence to get involved in the community.

“We have 16 coordinators delivering services in 77 communities,” said Desneiges Profili, CBAL regional program manager for the West Kootenay and Boundary. “Their work with children, adults, families and seniors to build reading, writing, numeracy, computer and workplace skills is in demand. Fundraisers, such as our Reach A Reader campaign, help support communities to meet this increasing need.”

CBAL is working hard to expand services to meet growing and changing needs in communities across the region. In addition to regional funding received from Columbia Basin Trust, Selkirk College,

ESL students with the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy’s Creston branch on a field trip at the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area.

College of the Rockies and the province of British Columbia, local partnerships and fund raising campaigns are critical to developing more community-led programs targeting local needs. The Reach A Reader campaign demonstrates this shared commitment.

“We partner with businesses, community organizations, libraries, schools and colleges to help meet demand for our services,” said Betty Knight, regional program manager for the East Kootenay.

“Getting the communities involved in supporting us through the partnership with Black Press and the Reach A Reader campaign takes our message to the heart of the communities we serve.”

Over the last 10 years, CBAL has delivered an average of 230 programs to 7,000 participants each year. Positive feedback, living examples of the benefits and community response has been very supportive. Participants can choose from a variety of programs such as Love 2 Learn, young

parents education program, Cyber Seniors and English as a second language.

You can make a difference in your local community. Participate in the Reach a Reader campaign by purchasing a paper on Oct. 11, volunteer to sell papers or simply spreading the word as a campaign champion.

To get involved, contact the Creston Valley Advance or Creston community literacy co-ordinator Linda Steward at lsteward@cbal.org.

Fibre artisans unveiling quilt at museum show CRESTON MUSEUM

The Creston Museum’s annual quilt show will feature a very special quilt, A Slice of Creston, made by the Creston Fibre Artisans.

Fibre artisans are sometimes referred to as art quilters. They make big things, like quilts and wall hangings, out of fabric, and sometimes they do incorporate traditional techniques of cutting and piecing fabric. But they combine these traditional quilting methods with found objects, unique textures, fabrics and fibres that range from sheer mesh tulles to heavy-duty yarns, and all sorts of arts and crafts techniques that involve glue and paint and other things. In fact, when the Creston Fibre Artisans hold a workshop, things tend to get messy.

The results, though, are nothing short of stunning.

A couple of years ago, the Fibre Artisans started with a photo of the Creston Valley — taken by local photographer Ken Alexander — and

enlarged it, then sliced it into 12 strips. Each member of the group took a slice of the photo and recreated it in textiles and fibres. Then, earlier this spring, those slices were reassembled into a big wall hanging, approximately 13 feet long and five feet high. Each artisan has infused her slice with her own art style — some are done in vibrant colours while others are more subdued; some have big bold details, while others are very subtle.

Combined, it’s like taking one look at the Creston Valley and seeing it, all at once, in all of its many moods.

This wall hanging will be displayed to the public, for the first time ever, at the Creston Museum’s annual quilt show and sale on Sept. 15. It will be officially unveiled at the start of the show, at 10 a.m., and will remain on display throughout the day.

Ultimately, the fibre artisans intend to sell the quilt, with the proceeds going to the Creston Museum.

Yoga studio starts new series of classes CRESTON VALLEY YOGA STUDIO

A new season of classes has started up at the Creston Valley Yoga Studio (CVYS). The studio, located at 1017A Canyon St., was opened in March by owner and yoga instructor Samantha Nevalainen and is going strong.

The studio hosts seven instructors that offer a range of classes, and you’ll find something for everyone — beginners, teens, families, pre-natal, flow yoga, hot yoga, gentle yoga and even yoga-on-the-go, a new noon hour class.

Yoga instructor Cathleen McCarthy recently returned from the Wake Up Festival held in the U.S. The CVYS is pleased to be hosting a series of visual talks from the presenters at the Wake Up Festival. These are inspiring talks from well-known and respected spiritual teach-

The cost is $2 per person.

Workshops are a great opportunity for growth. The CVYS is hosting two upcoming workshops. The first is Tibetan monk Losang Samten (www. losangsamten.com). He is traveling throughout B.C. and will be presenting a three-day meditation workshop from Sept. 30-Oct.2. The workshop will encompass walking, sitting and movement meditation, as well as dharma talks. The cost is $150 for all three days; registration is required.

The second workshop is a yoga work-

String quartet offering wide range LA CAFAMORE STRING QUARTET

Rodney Wilson

(From left) Carol Cameron, Jeff Faragher, Alexis Moore and Angela Synder of La Cafamore.

Presenting a local flair, the Kootenays’ La Cafamore String Quartet is joined by clarinetist Nicola Everton, performing at St. Stephen's Presbyterian Church on Sept. 27 at 7:30 p.m.

With a rich repertoire for clarinet and string quartet, the program features one of the great masterpieces for this combination, the romantic and evocative Brahms Clarinet Quintet. Rounding out the program, audiences will enjoy Beethoven’s Op. 18 No. 4 string quartet and the rock/jazz quintet by American Bill Douglas, complete with a breakout rock vocal etude mid-performance.

Everton has recently become a resident of the Kootenays after spending over 20 years as a member of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.

As a symphony musician, she has enjoyed touring Asia and North America with the orchestra, performing with a variety of international artists including Yo-Yo Ma, the Chieftains, Diana Krall and Leslie Feist, and for various dignitaries including the Dalai Lama and the Queen. She now directs several concert series in the region and is an active performer and educator.

La Cafamore String Quartet, based in the West Kootenay, formed in 2008 and includes members Jeff Faragher (cello) and Alexis More (viola), both of whom founded Nelson’s Obligato Strings, and Rossland local Carolyn Cameron (violin). Making it a family affair, Angela Snyder from Front Royal, Va., will join sister Cameron on violin.

Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for students and $45 for families, available at Black Bear Books.

Her own brand of jazz fusion unites swing with vintage country and feminine pop. Audiences experience a genre-crossing set list that includes Plaine’s original music, sensual jazz standards such as “Fever� and “Bye Bye Blackbird�, folk anthems such as Bob Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released� and country classics such as “Pancho and Lefty�. “If Patsy Cline and Blossom Dearie had a love child, she would sing like Belle Plaine,� said CBC’s SoundXchange host Kelley Jo Burke. “Belle’s voice is old timey and jazzy. It has twang, crystal bells and swing. You listen to this voice, and all of a sudden your cheatin’ heart has a very dry martini in hand, and you’re hearing something both timeless and brand new.� “Notes from a Waitress� is Plaine’s first-person narrative about her time as a server in an Australian diner. Somehow, she squeezed 327 words into 3:15 of catchy jazz swing that takes listeners to the front

We Have a Pope kicking off cinema season FRIENDS OF THE CINEMA

Friends of the Cinema kicks off its 201213 season when it screens We Have a Pope, an unusual twist on the usual competition among cardinals to assume the office.

What happens when the elected successor refuses to assume the papacy? Chaos arises when Cardinal Melville, a long shot who rises to the top after several ballots, has a panic attack and refuses to make the expected appearance on the balcony at St. Peter’s.

This Italian-made comedy explores the behind the scenes machinations of papal selection and the lengths his electors go to in an effort to get Melville to take the job.

We Have a Pope is the first of eight films arranged by Friends of the Cinema, which, for the first time, will be shown at Prince Charles Theatre. A free presentation earlier in the summer got a thumbs-up for the venue from those who attended.

Films are shown on the third Monday of each month, September through May (December excluded) and attendance is by season’s pass or ticket sales at the door.

A new addition to this season’s screenings is the possibility that locally-made short films will be shown in addition to the feature presentation. Anyone who has a potential presentation can drop a note off at the Creston and District Public Library.

We Have a Pope will be presented on Sept.

17 at 7:30 p.m.

lines of the greasy Aussie dive. “Brawlers� was written by Plaine about an incident at a raucous bar in rural Saskatchewan. She was on the road with the Saskatchewan band the Lazy MKs at the time and claims the track is the truest love song she’s ever written — a complicated statement given that it’s about eight men.

On the tour, Plaine will perform all shows with Elizabeth Curry on upright electric bass and harmony vocals. Curry played with the Regina Symphony Orchestra and was voted best bassist by Regina’s Prairie Dog Magazine’s readers in 2010 and 2011.

Tickets for the Sept. 18 concert are $10 in advance at Kingfisher Used Books and Black Bear Books, and $12 at the door, which opens at 7 p.m. The show starts at 8.

After training hard all season, the Creston Wave Swim Club swimmers were off to the biggest competition of the season, the provincial championships held in Nanaimo from Aug. 16-19. Nearly 2,000 of B.C.’s best athletes attended the summer swimming provincials, competing in water polo, diving, synchronized swimming and speed swimming.

Five of the Creston Wave swimmers represented the club on the Kootenay regional team: Kieran Simpson, Emily Simpson, Sierra Simpson, Carter Pelly and coach Kevin Woykin. The swimmers competed in both individual races and regional relay events.

Kieran Simpson (Div. 6) competed in the boys 200-metre individual medley (IM), and 100m breaststroke. He got an all-time best in his IM (2:51.54), and swam fast in his breaststroke, placing 18th in the province. Kieran also competed on the Div. 6 boys Kootenay regional relay team, placing fifth out of the province’s eight regions.

Emily Simpson (Div. 5) competed in the 100m breaststroke, 50m butterfly and 50m freestyle.

Thunder Cats split first four exhibition matches

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

With their home opener set for tomorrow night at the John Bucyk Arena, the Creston Valley Thunder Cats have been working hard to get ready for the 2012-2013 season.

The team has already played five exhibition games (the fifth took place on Tuesday after press time), winning two against the Glacier Nationals, a Montana team visiting Fernie for its training camp. The games followed the Thunder Cats’ own training camp from Aug. 30-Sept. 2, which had a few “decent surprises�, according to new head coach and general manager Josh Hepditch. “A lot of the veterans returned and seemed like they had a very good summer of training,� he said. “They’re excited to be here and eager to get going.�

The roster is shaping up well, with a mix of newcomers — including a few Creston Valley players — and returning veterans lacing their skates. The defensive lineup includes Trevor LeBlanc, Jaiden Ward, Jesse Gartland, Ryan Murray, Jonathon Watt, Andrew Hodder, Matthew Sonntag and Matthew Murray, while Trevor Hanna, Darcy Flaherty, Tyler Akeroyd, Colby Livingstone, Nick Mottl, Brady Ward, Marcel Fuchs and Scott Butters are the team’s current forwards. Goalie Michael Hails is also returning to the team.

The Thunder Cats’ exhibition series started on Sept. 4 with a home game against the Nationals, which the Cats won 4-1.

Carter Pelly (Div. 2) competed in the 50m butterfly, 50m backstroke, 50m freestyle and 100m freestyle. In her 50m freestyle, she placed in the top five in the province in the morning preliminary

races with a best time of 0:34.36, and finished in the afternoon’s final seventh in the province. In the butterfly, Pelly improved from the morning preliminary races, obtaining a time of 0:41.13 and 10th place in finals. She continued her racing successes, breaking 40 seconds in her backstroke and placing fifth in the province. She also broke another milestone in her freestyle, taking four seconds off for a time of 1:16.42 and finished eighth in the province.

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Fording River Operations Swift Project

Open House and Invitation to Comment Teck Coal Limited (Proponent) is proposing an extension to its existing Fording River Operations located north of Elkford, within the East Kootenay region of southeastern B.C., referred to as the Swift Project (proposed Project). The proposed Project would maintain the existing production capacity of the Fording River Operations and would extend overall mine life by approximately 20 years.

The Proponent must obtain an environmental assessment certificate (Certificate) before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. However, prior to submission of an application for a Certificate (Application) by the Proponent, Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) must first approve Application Information Requirements.

The Application Information Requirements will specify the studies to be conducted and the detailed information to be provided by the Proponent in its Application. EAO has now received draft Application Information Requirements from the Proponent and invites comments on this draft.

The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the Project are identified for consideration as part of the environmental assessment process.

There are 30 days for the submission of written comments by the public in relation to the draft Application Information Requirements. The comment period will begin on September 19, 2012 and end on October 19, 2012.

An electronic copy of the draft Application Information Requirements and information regarding the environmental assessment process will be available at www.eao.gov.bc.ca on September 19, 2012.

Copies of the Draft Application Information Requirements are also available for viewing at these locations during the comment period: x x x

EAO invites the public to attend an Open House about the purpose and content of the draft Application Information Requirements. The Open House will be held Elkford Community Conference Centre (Teck Room) 818 Michel Road Elkford, B.C. on: September 19, 2012 from: 4 pm until 8 pm at:

EAO, the Proponent and the Proponent’s environmental assessment consultants will be present to provide information and respond to questions about the Application Information Requirements at the Open House. All written comments received during the 30-day public comment period in relation to the draft Application Information Requirements will be considered. After taking public comments into account, EAO will finalize the Application Information Requirements and issue them to the Proponent.

If you are unable to participate at this time, there will be an additional comment period during the Application review stage when you will also be able to provide comments to the EAO on the proposed Project.

NOTE: All written submissions received by EAO during the comment period in relation to the proposed Project are considered public and will be posted to the EAO website.

Thunder Cats

From page 19 “It’s always tough in the first game trying to get everyone on the same page,” said Hepditch.

“We dressed a lot of veterans for that game and they seemed to click just like it was last year.”

On Friday, the Thunder Cats travelled to Kimberley, where they lost 5-1, partly due to having several newcomers on the ice.

“It was a typical training camp game for us,” said Hepditch. “It was fairly scrambly. The guys in there competed hard and did a good job.”

The next night was a similar result when the Thunder Cats visited the Columbia Valley Rockies, who beat the visitors 6-3.

“Our goalies played really well, actually,” said Hepditch. “We just weren’t good enough that night.”

For Sunday’s game in Fernie against the Nationals, most of the Thunder Cats veterans played in a game they won 8-0.

“It was nice to get them all back into the lineup and see them get rewarded for the work they’ve done in training camp,” said Hepditch.

“The guys really came together as team.”

The games have been a good warm-up, and Hepditch is looking forward to tomorrow’s game against the visiting Kimberley Dynamiters.

“They want to put a good impression on for the fans and set the tempo for the year,” he said.

“They’ve already been talking about it as a team.”

He’s been reminding them that early-season wins can have an impact on standings later in the season, so every game had to be played as if it counts.

“You can’t stress enough the importance of every single game,” he said. “We have to find a way to channel our energy on the road as we do at home.”

can we remove resentment if we are unaware of the extent to which it controls us? We need to look into what makes us vulnerable to anger.

Each time we are offended, misunderstood, ignored or put upon, we have the opportunity to see how tightly we grasp our views, opinions and our whole sense of who we are. We can see how, when solid self-concept is threatened, we shut down or lash out, get defensive or find some target to blame for our discomfort. By simply seeing all this more clearly, we have already opened the cage door of resentment.

The point of this slogan is to stop avoiding the issue of resentment, and instead, try to understand how it arises in our bodies and minds. By doing so, we can fully experience how we cling to a solid reactive self even when

In Memoriam

In Memoriam Leo Lambert July 12, 1932 – September 12, 2006 Dad, it’s been six years now Since you had to go, We’ve all missed you, More than you could know.

Mom especially, needed you so.

She was strong, And helped us all, She would hold us close When we started to fall.

Now without a reason That we can find, She too had to leave us behind.

Now again it’s up to you,

Helena (Helen) Lambert December 5, 1935 – September 3, 2012 To find her, and hold her close Like we know you will do.

We will always remember And never forget, How perfect you were From the time you met.

It’s our turn now To be on our own, To take care of each other And make this life our home.

We will do our best to be strong, It will be so hard With both of you gone.

Love, Ernie, Halina, Robyn, Kayla, Scout

ON A ROLL — Rutabaga bowling wasn't the only activity at the Sept. 2 Rutabaga event at Wynndel Hall.

Hundreds of visitors swarmed to the area to shop at a giant garage sale, make purchases from local vendors, view informational displays, enjoy live entertainment, lunch on chicken and veggie wraps and, most importantly, to take advantage of a brilliant warm day on the summer's last long weekend. As much a chance to socialize as to celebrate the rutabaga, the event has become a popular feature of summer in Wynndel.
