DRESSED FOR SUCCESS — Overwaitea Foods employees got into the spirit of Halloween last week by dressing up — note 24-year employee Ellen Tzakis (kneeling at centre) wearing her very first Overwaitea uniform

— and helping to raise $1,800 for BC Children’s Hospital by asking customers if they wanted to round up their bill to the next dollar. Overwaitea stores througout the province raised $113,000 this year for the kids’ hospital.

Build it and they will come. That’s the hope for the Regional District of Central Kootenay as construction proceeds on a new kitchen in the John Bucyk Arena lobby.

Requests for proposals to operate a concession have drawn interest, but no formal replies, Creston and District Community Complex manager of recreation Randy Fediuk said at Monday’s local services committee meeting.

Community Armstrong makes strong resource centre return to non-fiction seeking new home for TAPS REVIEW

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

As well as Luanne Armstrong writes, it’s a wonder she isn’t nationally and even internationally recognized, with a slew of awards lining her mantel.

Is it her versatility that’s kept her largely relegated to the ranks of the regional writer? Or, also with poetry, and fiction aimed at young readers, perhaps she just isn’t seen as fitting into a single genre. Or maybe her determination to juggle academia — she’s an adjunct professor, working primarily from home for the University of BC — and writing and farming is seen as a drawback. More likely, though, it’s her single-minded obsession with returning whenever possible to her Kootenay Lake farm, far from the coffee houses, social gatherings and hobnobbing opportunities that many of her counterparts are more comfortable with.

With her newest publication, and the third in a couple of years, Armstrong has returned to non-fiction in what at times feels like a sequel to Blue Valley, her ecological memoir from 2007.

The Light Through the Trees: Reflections on Land and Farming is a thoughtful look at life on a farm, not just any farm but a tract of land that is trapped between Kootenay Lake and Highway 3A, a land pressured on all sides by summer visitors who flock to the lake to escape their city lives.

She and her brother continue to work the land with an Iowa-stubborn insistence at keeping alive at least a part of what they grew up with.

At her best — and she’s rarely at anything less these days — Armstrong’s non-fiction can be read in pieces, sounding very much like the poetry she continues to write. For evidence, consider some individual paragraphs lifted for the first chapter of The Light Through the Trees: “I wonder if this is even a relationship, my feelings about this place and its inhabitants. Or is it all

a one-way emotion from me, the human stalker, wandering around wanting to be loved? And just what am I doing here, living in this particular place? How do I understand it?”

Or, “Walking here is also walking in time, over layers of parents and grandparents. Understanding how to be fully in a place and taking care of it means also seeing how it is taking care of me.”

Or, “Once I was talking to a dear friend about my childhood and the farm, and he said, ‘The land was your mother and father.’ I think he was right, but as well as mother and father, I think the land is also my teacher and my home, the place I go to learn, the place that mystifies me with its depth and beauty, and never lets me go.”

Wordsworth, meet Wallace Stegner.

As the book progresses, Armstrong is alternatively reminiscent, realistic and raging, grumpily describing encounters with the small engine crowd who find their leisure in chainsawing brush and building endlessly on cabins they visit only a few (thankfully) short weeks each year. Turn the page and she’s as likely to be going all Thoreau on the reader, paying minute attention to the detail of the verdant life that teems around and on the barely tamed farm, meditating on of the most peculiar of man’s constructs, property ownership.

Never taking the easy way with her writing, Armstrong uses words like colours in a painter’s palette, with the sparing and demanding eye of the water colourist. The editor in her doesn’t allow for a single unnecessary word. Like Mozart and his musical notes, she uses exactly the right number of words to say what she wants. In the Kootenays, we are fortunate indeed to call this maestro one of our own.

The Light Through the Trees will soon be available in Creston at Black Bear Books on Canyon Street.

Providers of the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors (TAPS) are looking for an alternative to the portable trailers it has called home for many years.

Serena Naeve, executive director of the Creston and District Community Resource Centre (CRC), which operates TAPS, and Bridgit Currie, who founded the program 20 years ago, took their case to the local services committee meeting of Regional District of Central Kootenay directors on Monday.

“We are looking for longterm sustainability, and we have been exploring the possible use of Rotacrest,” Naeve told the meeting. “It’s a question of how we co-ordinate long term planning for seniors in the valley.

“Our current facility is deteriorating rapidly and the school district (which leases the facility to CRC) has said it won’t put any more money into the building. We have done all we can do with it.”

Currie explained that the TAPS program has changed since she founded it as an Interior Health Authority program with 10 clients.

“Now we have 60 clients who are at risk of becoming isolated,” she said. “I see it as a real community program.”

Naeve said that with the support of the regional directors, she would reopen discussions with the New Horizons Seniors Society that currently calls Rotacrest Hall home. The two organizations previously discussed TAPS using the top floor of the facility, which is now owned and operated by the RDCK, during weekdays, with most New Horizons activities moving to the lower floor.

Area C director Larry Binks said he was impressed with the paper CRC had presented directors with, adding that he supported the idea of moving TAPS to a more central facility.

“We started this conversation four years ago,” Area B director John Kettle said. “In my opinion only, this doesn’t have to be a revenue generator.

Whatever we can do to facilitate this through the staff, we should do. It’s a service.”

“We have 60 clients who are at risk of becoming isolated.”

Bridgit Currie TAPS co-ordinator

Kettle said the community complex location had the added benefit of being a hub for BC Transit Service buses.

Area A director Garry Jackman agreed that Rotacrest could work for TAPS. “We aren’t looking for revenue, we are looking for a fit,” he said. “I think that once TAPS is more connected with this facility and more people learn what it’s all about, your program will grow and our biggest problem might be finding more space.”

The directors asked community complex manager Randy Fediuk to provide them with an update of the capital plan for maintenance and necessary improvements to Rotacrest Hall to facilitate creating a plan to house the TAPS program.

“This is one more step to keeping this (community complex) viable,” Kettle said. “We understand that rec centres are not going to be profit centres — they are going to be community centres.”

Report shows bear activity in Schikurski Park

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Creston town council heard another eye-opening presentation about the clear and present danger of grizzly bears at the Oct. 23 regular council meeting.

Bear Aware co-ordinator Gillian Cooper showed photos and maps to illustrate grizzly bear (all local grizzlies are tagged and tracked using GPS technology) activity throughout the valley. Earlier this year, council defeated a proposed bylaw that would have restricted bear attractants like summer bird feeders, unharvested fruit trees and

From page 4 November 3 •An abandoned 911 call from Gray Creek was traced to an unoccupied residence.

•Males operating dirt bikes on Reclamation Road were warned not to do so.

the setting out of trash cans the day before garbage pickup.

Maps of grizzly bear activity showed a major crossing of bears moving down from the mountains and along a treed corridor south of Duck Lake toward the Kootenay River. In the past, the bears typically headed south to Highway 21, where they crossed to feed at the Regional District of Central Kootenay landfill site. Fencing of the landfill has been successful, she said, and those bears now seek out food and mating opportunities in the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area.

The cyclist responded by dropping his bike and kicking the car. The cyclist was entitled to be in what the driver referred to as “the driving lane”, but was told that kicking a car is not within the law.

“By working with developers and business owners you have done an awesome job of reducing bear attractants,” she told council.

She showed photos of fenced trash container areas behind the Ricky’s All Day Grill at the Ramada hotel and Tim Hortons, and credited a number of existing food service businesses for taking similar precautions.

Of particular interest to town residents, she said, is bear activity in Schikurski Park, which borders on residential areas. Cooper said residents need to be educated about keeping yards clear of ripe fruit and putting out trash in the morning, shortly before the garbage truck arrives.

Does it offend you when you drive into a highway construction project zone and see a big sign announcing the project, and it includes the name of the highways minister and premier? Or how about when you are about to enter a public building and there is a bronze plaque mounted outside, naming the members of town council and maybe some administrators at the time of the building construction? Or maybe you go to the rink at the community complex and there are signboards citing Regional District of Central Kootenay areas A and B as supporters, along with the names of the current directors (in quite small letters, to be fair). Do you think that it’s a reasonable use of tax dollars?

I don’t, but I can’t say I’ve laid awake at night stewing about it.

The issue came up this week at a meeting that included the Creston’s four RDCK directors.

The meeting was in the community complex and the on the agenda was a discussion about the signboards. Apparently a staff member had pointed out to manager Randy Fediuk that the signs were political in nature, something that is against RDCK policy. Fediuk referred the discussion to the regional directors.

Before I proceed, I should mention that the signs were made up by the RDCK to recognize the con-

tributions from each area to the Creston Valley Thunder Cats.

Directors did not request to have their names included and were apparently not consulted about the sign.

associated with an elected position, the more likely they are to think of that name and position as one and the same. I’m betting that a statistical analysis would show that a large majority of incumbents win elections at all levels of government, in all democratic countries, and name recognition would have to be at least one reason.

On the other hand, it isn’t difficult to argue that people have the right to know what their electLorne Eckersley ed representatives are doing, and to have names appear on signage is just another Not surprisingly, the discussion way of communicating activity. elicited different perspectives.

This is the Life

Lojong slogan 53: Don’t vacillate

When you first enter a spiritual practice, you may be intrigued but wary, or you may be quickly inspired. Those who are inspired often jump in enthusiastically, read many books, take tons of classes and practice every day. But such enthusiasm tends to be superficial and short-lived, and after a while, their interest and energy begins to peter out and they have second thoughts about the whole thing. Often they forget their initial enlightening experiences and drop out.

Those who are more wary often decide to spend time checking the practice out before making a commitment. Before diving into a new spiritual practice they research different teachers and communities and read a few more books.

Although they are drawn to the spiritual community, they are afraid to go too far without more understanding of what they are getting into. This approach is beneficial to a point, but can present a barrier to an essential ingredient of true spiritual practice — commitment. Whenever the wary reach the point of being ready to make a deep commitment, they hesitate, drop out and step back into the warm cocoon of their old way of life.

No matter how one enters into

the practice of training the mind for spiritual purposes, the main idea is to become steady and confident. Constantly changing your mind about what you are doing

A

Zen's-Eye View Kuya Minogue

drains away enthusiasm and leaves you and those around you depleted of energy. Hesitation can draw you into an undertow of self-doubt, which you then project on to the spiritual practice you are exploring. It is important to break this pattern and to develop more selfconfidence and certainty in the practice, and to trust your own initial insight into its value.

When we lack confidence, we analyze too much. It is hard to make a decision because there is no end of options, alternatives, contingencies and what-ifs. Commitment is frightening because it means choosing one direction and abandoning others, but unless the spiritual seeker does so, it will be hard to make progress. Spiritual growth can feel like being a trapeze artist;

we have to let go of one trapeze and fly through the air on nothing but faith that when we reach out for the second trapeze it will be there.

The point is that once you see what you need to do, go ahead and do it wholeheartedly with a willingness to ride out periods of doubt and confusion. If you make a decision to begin Zen training, stick with it so that it becomes a steady thread throughout your life. Although your circumstances are always changing, your commitment to training should be unwavering.

Today’s practice: When your enthusiasm seems to be flickering, try dropping down a layer to a more steady and fundamental stream of inspiration by recalling the insights you had when you first began your practice. By placing your experience within that stream, you can gain greater certainty in the view and practice of your chosen spiritual path.

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

Senior remembers horrors of world war To the Editor: Again on Remembrance Day, I am taking note of what this day means to me.

First of all, I thought of the Canadian soldiers who gave their lives to free Europe from the Hitler tyranny, and I am thankful to them that I was allowed to come to Canada to live in a free and wonderful country.

I think of the 1945 Europe that was a pile of rubble, where 60 per cent of all living quarters in Germany, the country of my birth, were uninhabitable. I talked with my wife about her life in Berlin. She recalled when, on the way home from

opiNioN LiNe

nightshift, she walked through bombed and burning streets and wondered if the family apartment was still in place. At the end of the war, 180,000 of the 250,000 buildings in Berlin were destroyed.

I think of the bodies I helped to collect when I, along with other 15-year-old boys, was sent to a bombed-out city for cleanup.

I think of the 16 people that gave their lives from the village of 330 souls of Wuelperode in Germany, where I grew up, including four friends 17 years old.

I think of my father, who was wounded in the First World War and spent three years in a French prison camp and was drafted again in the Second World War. From 1945-1948, he was a political prisoner in one of the most brutal Soviet concentration camps, Muhleberg.

Now it is 2012 and we still haven’t learned from the past. While millions are dying of malnutrition, the world is spending $1.7 trillion on the most terrible weapons in history. What would happen if there was a war and nobody came?

Henry Dahle Creston

Phone found thanks to stranger’s kindness To the Editor: To the one who helped me find my cell phone: I found it!

On Oct. 29, I went for a walk along 16th Avenue to see if I could locate my missing phone, which had fallen out of my pocket. To my surprise, as I walked past the vet’s office, there it was staring at me from on top of the garbage can.

So, whoever put it there in plain view for me to see, thank you a lot. May you be rewarded for your kindness.

Keep life honest, pure and simple

What is life? Four letters and a simple word, but a complex answer. From conception till death, it is full of events, many surprises, sunny and rainy days, joyful events and tragedies, all in one package.

Know that this world is run by greed with evil men and impostors pulling the strings. Shield yourself from its influence. Find your refuge, be it family, friends, nature, music, books, pets or studies. Fill your life with worthy things before those with dark souls fill your life with garbage.

You know there are way too many smarties eager to do something with your time, life and money, don’t you? Recognize smooth talkers — forever lying, never delivering. Are empty promises all too familiar? Lords Vladimir Certik of this world promote clever, smart, “successful” individuals.

not have enough time to do more.

Treasure your time, pursue good and avoid evil. What your eyes look at, what your mind dwells on and what company you enjoy will eventually lead you to what you will do and who you will become. Bad company corrupts good character the same way as good influence keeps one from trouble.

Why not become the same as so many of those “successful”? Have you ever heard the expression, “If you can’t beat them, join them”? Look, even if you hoard all material possessions, power, office, titles and control, that inner emptiness will remain and your once clean conscience will be gone. You will have to watch your back because of all the envious wolves from the camp of evil.

There is no peace for the wicked.

Live an honest, pure, simple life to the fullest.

A veteran garden centre consultant was speaking about the difference between cutting edge and having something so new it is on the “bleeding edge”, too new to have any market for it. I recall well trying to sell grasses 10 years ago. I had my four favorites in the nursery for sale but I couldn’t give them away so after a few seasons I just planted them out back. A few years later, one of the grasses, Feather Reed grass won perennial of the year. Now we see grasses all over the landscape in Cranbrook and south through Coeur d’Alene. They are native plants, too. In any case, they look great and people just needed to learn how to use them in their landscapes.

Nowadays we sell all kinds of them.

This year had been appointed the Year of the Heuchera by the National Garden Bureau. Their future looks really bright.

In the meantime, stay tuned for future information on the 2013 perennial of the year and more.

The tale of Packy the Runaway Packrat

When I was a bit younger, there were several books that crossed my path. They were Sally the Runaway Monkey, Pokey the Runaway Bear and Packy (after pachyderm) the Runaway Elephant. I enjoyed the second one the most. Now, we will look at Packy the runaway packrat.

Sometimes, some people would like Packy to just run away, especially when exploring possibilities of taking up residence in the attic or in one of the outbuildings. The chances of this happening are much greater in rural areas or around the edges of settlements, especially in

these Kootenay mountains. Now, some of you may have never heard of one of these creatures much less seen one, or heard about their lifestyle.

So one may not realize why some people don’t want them around and wish they would stay out

there somewhere. But they are admittedly quite cute and curious furry little mammals.

Packrats have a strong scent that permeates their living quarters and places where they spend a lot of time. It is not as strong as a skunk scent, but much stronger than that of house mice and pet rats. Once at a domestic dwelling, the scent is hard to get rid of but will dissipate after time. Their odour will usually be quite prominent around overhanging rock bluffs containing crevices, entrances of abandoned mines, adits and buildings, caves, and deserted forest cabins.

Most remote places that provide dry habitation are suitable.

Another aspect of their lives they are noted for is their large piles of “brash” one finds around the packrat’s haunts. They are quite industrious and usually appear like little busybodies when we see them scurrying about.

They spend much of the summer season gather-

ing clippings of tender twigs and leaves of various types of shrubs and plants to be used as winter food. They place the bounty of their harvests in piles in dry places around their haunts close to where they will have their nests.

Ed McMackin

A sensitive nosed bushy-tailed woodrat or packrat exploring new territory.

These piles can be two feet high and several feet in diameter. Over the summer and fall, the contents dry providing nutritious winter food for the residents. There certainly won’t be any dearth here.

Outside of their rocky hideouts they are generally nocturnal and have several characteristics like other nocturnal animals — large, bulging eyes, sensitive noses and large ears — as well as long whiskers, which enable them to see and hear and feel more acutely than most mammals.

It’s at night when I have usually detected their presence. It seems that when their population numbers are high the new generation will come scratching on the cabin as they climb all over looking for an entrance and new territory. When the opportunity comes they will begin to take over. Once someone told me that friends checking in on a local bachelor, many, many years ago found him deceased on his bed in the cabin.

Packrats had already stored an ample winter’s supply on top of the remains.

Compared to their “pantries”, their nests are very small and simple. I am not sure if they sleep in those piles of dried vegetation or not but they do pick sites protected from rain and snow and from predators. Dry crevices in cliffs make secure sites. Once, in January, while checking out a mine for wintering bats, I spotted a ball of grass on a ledge along the mine’s sides. It was made of finely woven grass and was about six inches in diameter. In the top was a neat, round hole through which I saw a furry coat. When contemplating touching the soft, thick fur, the creature quickly became aware of my presence, raised its head from somewhere out of the ball of fur, took one look at me with those bulgy eyes, hopped out, and ran away along the wall of the mine. I think he thought I smelled bad.

Earlier in the season, some of us hiked into an abandoned mine site. Packrats had completely taken over the premises. They had piles of winter tidbits piled up in dry spots in some of the derelict mine buildings and in the entrance to the mine. I have seen this before but this time I noticed something different. There must have been quite a population of packrats in this area because there were beaten paths between the buildings where their travels passed through open areas. It seems they didn’t waste any time going through these open areas, which would be exposed to predators, including owls. The paths were beaten down to bare earth indicating their movements were speedy and with much vigour.

Packrat feet sometimes appear to be on the go before their bodies are moving. The beatendown trails provide quick and easy access to the next protected destination.

Packrats are very curious and cute little animals. Their long bushy tails give them the name bushy-tailed woodrat. I can imagine they use the tail to help keep them warm. It may have other uses, too. There are probably many less obvious things about packrats, or woodrats, that we don’t know about that we would find interesting and even surprising. That gets up my curiosity.

How about yours?

Top 10 resume tips

1. Formatting. Like any good brand, your resume needs to be eye-catching and effective. Choose a professional font, such as Arial or Times New Roman, and ensure the font size is legible, generally 10-12 point, except for your name and headings, which can be larger and bolded. Most hiring managers prefer an at-a-glance format, using bullet points rather than paragraphs, although ensure you keep your sections lined up and consistent throughout the document. Be cognizant of the length — one or two pages for less experienced and non-management roles, and three pages for senior-level applications.

Also, proofread, proofread, proofread.

Surveys have shown that as many as three out of four hiring managers will discard a resume with as few as two typos. Don’t put your faith in spellcheck; have others review and try reading from the bottom up to catch any additional errors.

2. Reverse chronological or functional? Most hiring managers prefer a reverse chronological format — listing the most recent job first with previous jobs following. This gives them a more fluid account of your career progression and typically highlights the most pertinent skills in greatest detail. This may not be the right format, however, if you have any breaks or gaps in employment or if you have a fragmented background with many jobs, professions or industries worked in a short time period. In this case, a functional resume — summarizing key areas of experience — may be a better solution. Another option, however, is using a reverse chron-

Provincial News

ological resume and closing the gaps or fragments in employment. For instance, if you did temporary work or education between permanent roles, list this information. Likewise, if you performed the same job function with several companies in a short time period, group this information together. For instance: Administrative Assistant, Company A, Company B, Company C, 2007-2009. This answers some of the questions hiring managers will have about your experience and career progression as well as increase your chances of securing an interview.

3. How much is enough? When looking at levels of experience, how much should be included on a resume? For older job seekers who fear age discrimination, you don’t need to include your full career summary. While situations differ based on the number of jobs held, think of including either the last three or four jobs or 15 years of experience, whichever is less. For those lacking experience, it is acceptable to include voluntary, unpaid or relevant educational involvement on your resume.

If you were a committee member of a student club or volunteered for a non-profit organization, extract those duties and indicate why that experience is relevant in your career progression.

4. What’s too personal? As marketing techniques vary by country and culture, so do resumes. What may be expected in some countries is not required in North America, generally because it can lead to discrimination. You do not need to reference your marital status, age, children, ethnicity or religion. Also, don’t include a photo. While you may be trying to convey your level of professionalism, instead include a link to your LinkedIn page or similar where you can include a professional headshot which, through this medium, is an acceptable and even expected practice.

5. List accomplishments, not just duties. Companies are looking to make an investment in employees, in fact, aside from real estate, labour is the highest cost to a company. You therefore need to prove your return on investment. Instead of simply listing your performed duties, try using CAR statements that outline the challenge, your actions, and the result.

Most hiring managers know what the basic duties include for most roles. To stand out, you need to demonstrate that you are a valuable employee who goes above and beyond.

6. Use keywords to get noticed. Many companies, particularly those that are large or are household names receive hundreds, if not thousands, of resumes, and therefore use a recruitment program to sort applications. They do so by scanning your resume for keywords that match the requirements for the role. Review a few job postings that interest you and pay attention to certain keywords that stand out. Ensure you include these throughout your resume and cover letter, keeping in mind that they should appear at least three times, preferably near the top. This will increase the chances of your resume passing the initial screening and getting into the hands of the hiring manager.

7. Power up. Reduced, improved, accelerated, launched, identified, eliminated and managed — these are all power words that may be included in your resume. By starting each bullet point with one of these action words, your CAR statements will have more impact and you will demonstrate to employers that your actions produced results.

8. What are your priorities? You’ve identified your CAR statements and used power words to describe them; the next step is ensuring that you are referencing those points that are priorities in your desired job. Similar to including key-

words, ensure that those duties that are most closely related to the job you are applying for are at the top of your experience for each job function. This will make it easier for hiring managers to match you to the role.

9. Target specific opportunities. Just as it is important to customize your cover letter, you’ll have a leg up if you also do so for your resume. While this requires more time and attention to detail, you’ll increase your chances of being noticed by hiring managers. Review the job posting and ensure you list the keywords, job priorities and CAR statements that are most pertinent to the role. Consider including a specific career objective or goal that directly relates to the job and if desired, include the company name in the statement.

10. Not all resumes are the same. Still uncertain about how to profile your specific skills and experience to a job within your field? A resume for the hospitality industry naturally differs from that of an accountant or labourer. Review examples online to ensure that you are presenting an accurate depiction of yourself and your experience.

Like all good brands, you need to manage your resume and professional profile.

With social media making it easier than ever for employers to check up on you, it is essential that you maintain a consistent and professional image across LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and any blogs you may write or participate in. In addition to ensuring that there are no disparaging remarks or unwanted photos that are visible, you also need to ensure your LinkedIn profile supports what you have referenced in your resume.

By creating a strategic personal marketing campaign and brand, you’ll enjoy greater success both in your next job and throughout your career.

Chiefs open E.K. season with two shutouts CRESTON VALLEY MINOR HOCKEY ASSOCIATION

The Creston Chiefs peewee rep hockey team opened East Kootenay league play on the road in Cranbrook on the weekend.

On Saturday they played Cranbrook’s tier 3 team and came away with a 4-0 win. Having not played any games for a few weeks, the Chiefs struggled with getting the puck out of their end and making a simple pass. It was a very scrambled game on their part, and in games where the

team is not sharp, goaltender James Porter Jr. has to be and he was.

Etienne Boutet, Brayden Jellis, Logan Rast and Kale Plotnikoff scored goals, with assists going to Plotnikoff (two), Ty Gudjonson and affiliated player Serge Chatwin, who had a solid showing in his first rep game.

The Chiefs returned to Cranbrook on Sunday to play their tier 4 squad. The Chiefs came out flying and scored early and played a much better team game, resulting in an 11-0 win. With only two lines going, short shifts and passing the puck were the difference for the locals.

Scoring was led by rookie Rast with a hat trick, and everyone else chipped in with points. Hats off to the defensive four of Boutet, Shayne Walker, Tyson Steed and Davis Nelson, who played solidly all weekend. The coaches are pleased with the start the team has made; playing defense first, along with team structure, will lead to good results.

The Chiefs’ next home game is this Saturday at 12:30 p.m. versus Invermere.

•On Saturday, the Creston Chiefs bantam rep team faced the Elk Valley bantam A team in Fernie.

Despite the Creston boys’ best efforts, Elk Valley won 4-3.

An early first period goal for Creston was scored by Brody Ryan, assisted by Ethan Plotnikoff. Less than a minute later, Levi Palmer scored, assisted by Jake Kolodychuk.

The second period was scoreless for Creston, as Elk Valley buried three.

With two minutes in the third, Matt Toews scored, assisted by Hunter Smeaten.

On Sunday, the Chiefs battled the Cranbrook Kootenay Blues on home ice, winning 6-2.

Four goals for Creston were scored in the first period, with Jake Livingstone scoring the first 29 seconds in, assisted by Alex Blackmore. Tyler Everitt followed, assisted by Kolodychuk and Smeaton. Kenton Blackmore also scored, with assists going to Ryan

We love it here!

and Toews. Less than a minute later, Kolodychuk scored, assisted by Everitt and Plotnikoff.

Second period goals went to Palmer, assisted

by Matthew Armitage and Livingstone, and Armitage assisted by Alex and Palmer.

Thunder Cats beat Coyotes, lose to Dynamiters

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

The Creston Valley Thunder Cats are still in fourth place in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Eddie Mountain Division after splitting their weekend games.

They lost 7-2 to the Kimberley Dynamiters on Saturday, which followed an 8-2 win over the visiting Osoyoos Coyotes on Friday.

“They’re first in their division and second in the entire league, so it was definitely a good confidence boost for us,” said head coach Josh Hepditch.

The Coyotes led the scoring with a goal late in the first period, followed by goals at 1:22 by Darcy Flaherty and 1:05 by Tyler Akeroyd. The pair scored again at either end of the second period — Akeroyd early and Flaherty late — with a Coyotes goal and a power-play goal by Creston’s Jesse Collins in between.

The Thunder Cats dominated the third period, with goals by Creston native Matti Jmaeff (power play), Collins and Marcel Fuchs, who scored a power-play goal with 23 seconds left in the game.

“Our special teams were really good,” said Hepditch. “We were three for eight on the power play.”

He was impressed to see all of the team’s line producing, but particularly that of Flaherty, Akeroyd and Brady Ward, who earned 11 points between them.

And he was pleased with the progress of Jmaeff, a former affiliate player for the Thunder Cats who returned from the Nelson Leafs for the previous week’s games.

“He’s made a great first impression,” said Hepditch. “He’s getting better every game.”

Things were different the next night, when the Kimberley Dynamiters visited and beat the Thunder Cats 7-2.

“We went from one end of the measuring stick to the other,” said Hepditch.

Kimberly started the scoring four minutes in, then followed a Thunder Cats goal by Trevor LeBlanc with two more. Trevor Hanna scored a second on a power play for the

Thunder Cats, but the Dynamiters added a fourth and fifth a few minutes before the period ended.

“I don’t think the score reflects the actual game itself,” said Hepditch. “Three of them were bad-bounce goals. But I’m not taking away anything from Kimberley; they really outworked us in the first period.”

The rest of the game was fairly even, he said, with Kimberley scoring once in each of the second and third periods.

But the important point for the team to take away from the weekend was Friday’s victory.

“Friday just shows that we can play with the best of them and beat the best of them if we stick to our game plan,” he said.

This weekend will see the Thunder Cats play two important divisional games, both against the Columbia Valley Rockies, in Invermere on Friday and at home on Saturday.

With 13 points, the Rockies are three points behind the Thunder Cats in the Eddie Mountain Division, with the Golden Rockets (19), Fernie Ghostriders (23) and Kimberley Dynamiters (24) ahead.

The Thunder Cats beat the Rockies 3-0 in their

In Flanders Fields

Thursday, November 8, 2012 Creston Valley Advance battle on May 2. McCrae performed the burial service himself, at which time he noted how poppies quickly grew around the graves of those who died at Ypres. The next day, he composed the poem while sitting in the back of an ambulance.

As with his earlier poems, “In Flanders Fields” continued McCrae’s preoccupation with death and how it stood as the transition between the struggle of life and the peace that followed.

It was written from the point of view of the dead. It spoke of their sacrifice and served as their command to the living to press on. Historian Paul Fussell criticized the poem in his work The Great War and Modern Memory (1975). He noted the distinction between the pastoral tone of the first nine lines and the “recruiting-poster rhetoric” of the third stanza.

Describing it as “vicious” and “stupid”, Fussell called the final lines a “propaganda argument against a negotiated peace”. As with many of the most popular works of the First World War, it was written early in the conflict, before the romanticism of war turned to bitterness and disillusion for soldiers and civilians alike.

In a letter written to his mother, REMEMBRANCE DAY McCrae described the battle as a “nightmare”: “For seventeen days and seventeen nights none of us have had our clothes off, nor All Waste Facilities will be CLOSED on our boots even, except occasionally.

November 11 because that marks the official end of World War I in 1918. On that day, the Germans officially signed the armistice, an agreement that officially put an end to the fighting in WWI. That’s one reason why Remembrance Day is often referred to as Armistice Day. Though the day has a significant connection to World War I, it also honors the men and women who fought for Canada in World War II, the Korean War and those who continue to serve in the military. Over the years, more than 1.5 million Canadians have fought for their country and to defend the rights and freedoms of non-Canadians as well. Among the Remembrance Day traditions is the wearing of poppies, which are worn as the symbol of remembrance and a reminder of the blood-red flower that grows on the former battlefields of France and Belgium.

On (NC)—When you think of Canada’s multicultural society and all the freedoms and opportunities that we experience on a daily basis, devoting a few minutes of silence on Remembrance Day to think of our troops is an important and meaningful gesture. Our soldiers and veterans sacrificed their time, personal comforts, and in many cases their lives so we could enjoy ours. Here are some other ways that you can show gratitude:

Wear a poppy. From the last Friday in October to November 11, pin a poppy on the left lapel of your garment or as close to the heart as possible. This will publicly remind you of our soldiers’ sacrifices and will encourage others to do the same.

Write to soldiers. Send a letter or card to express your appreciation. Mailing addresses are listed on the Department of National Defence website. You can also post a message to troops on the site’s message board.

Donate in honour of a soldier. Just as the Canadian Forces aim to bring peace and security to countries in need, consider doing your part to help those around the world who are suffering. You can also personalize a card and mail your thanks to a Canadian Forces member. More information is available at www.ccfcanada.ca/ GiftCatalogue. www.newscanada.com

Regional directors learned that the lobby flooring is near completion and construction of a kitchen to provide snacks for hungry visitors will be ready for occupancy in mid-December. But there is no certainty about how the kitchen will be

operated or for what hours.

“Where we’ve really fallen down is we really need to keep the public up-to-date,” Area B director John Kettle said. “We owe it to the public and we’ve been losing credibility with the public over this.”

Committee chair and Creston Mayor Ron Toyota said that part of the delay was the committee’s fault. When the call for tenders was ready, the directors were unable to agree to it using email communication and the tender had to wait for two weeks until a meeting could be held.

Kettle said he had feedback that the request for proposals to operate the concession was too complicated.

Kettle said he would discuss the issue further with Joe Chirico, general manager of community services.

Committee Briefs •Kettle said that after about 14 years of operating as an ad hoc committee, it’s time for the group of four Creston Valley RDCK directors to be recognized formally as a standing committee.

“This group got started because the RDCK got tired of Creston Valley directors arguing about local issues at board meetings,” he said.

Kettle, who is also the chair of the RDCK board, said he asked staff to prepare a template that would give standing committee status to the group, pending board approval.

“There are no similar committees so

West Coast musician playing at Snoring Sasquatch SUBMITTED

From the tradition of the masters — Robert Johnston and Howlin’ Wolfe, to the James Gang, the Rolling Stones and southern rock — Jon Sweet has melded his own unique style and flavour to this art form called the blues. He will play on Nov. 17 at

the Snoring Sasquatch.

Sweet, a Vancouver Island musician, has basically been on the road, in one form or the other, for 40 years. He has warmed up audiences for the likes of Valdy on a couple of occasions, as well as played with him at the Salt Spring Island Fall Fair. Born in Ontario, he has virtually been from East

Coast to as far as you can get on the West Coast without drowning — and add to that time spent in England and Ireland.

“It’s about the emotion of the song that draws me and that is what I hope comes across when I play it,” he said.

The audience will hear a mixture of jazz and blues, southern rock, folk and originals.

“If I get a tear or good laugh from one of the songs, I will have had a great night,” he said.

Doors to the Nov. 17 concert open at 6 p.m.; the show starts at 7. Tickets are $12 in advance at the Snoring Sasquatch, Kingfisher Used Books and Black Bear Books, and $15 at the door.

Obituaries Lowell Grant Christenson August 12, 1942 ~ November 3, 2012 It is with heavy hearts that the family of Lowell Grant Christenson announces his passing on Saturday, November 3, 2012.

Grant was born on August 12, 1942 to Clarence and Ethel Christenson, he was the eldest of four siblings with Gordon, John, and Sheila to follow.

Graduating in Creston, he went on to study Commerce at UBC. However his love of the land drew him back to his homeland, followed closely by a girl from the city who soon became his bride. A strong work ethic and a love of the land were instilled at a very early age; working alongside his dad in the Àelds of Christenson Bros. Farms for over 35 years.

Throughout his career he grew a variety of grains and other seed products. He also provided alfalfa for the Dehy Plant and potatoes for Swan Valley Foods. He was a director of the Reclamation Dyking District for many years and volunteered for Ducks Unlimited along with Bettylou where he was introduced to many new friends across the province.

Hunting and Àshing were hobbies he enjoyed as he traversed over mountain ranges, explored rivers, lakes and streams and shared his love of nature with his children and grandchildren. More recently an interest in lapidary afforded him new friendships with members of the local rock club. He took great delight in being the Àrst person in the world to see the inside of any stone. Countless hours were spent in his shop and family and friends were frequent recipients of his jewelry.

Grant faced his diagnosis of Esophageal Cancer with courage and determination. His humor and positivity endeared him to the medical staff that supported him through treatments and gave his family and friends continual hope for an extended stay.

Grant will be forever loved and remembered by his wife of 48 years, Bettylou; daughter Leah and Troy of Coaldale, Alberta; son Brad and Tanya of Creston; grandchildren Taylor and Ryan, Rylee, Jenna, Brendan, Kieran, and Tess; brother Gordon Christenson of Creston (Terry, Traci Cathy, Jeff); brother John Christenson of Pender Island; sister Sheila Christenson of Coldstream, BC; uncle Jim Mather and numerous cousins of Creston.

A Celebration of Life will take place on Monday, November 12 at 2:00 pm in the Creston and District Community Complex – Creston Room. ,n lieu of à owers, friends may donate to their charity of choice or to the Cranbrook Oncology Department 13 – 24th Ave. N Cranbrook, BC V1C 3H9.

In her more senior years, she participated in the TAPS program, and also volunteered at New Life Church serving Friday hot lunch to the PCSS students. Aggie moved into Crest View Village in January of 2006, where she resided until being hospitalized (because of pneumonia) for the last week of her life.

Also we would like to express our gratitude for your kindness expressed through cards, Ă owers, and care packages.

God Bless you all.

Caring for them and studying them over many years gives me the confidence as I paint that I will interpret them with feeling and an understanding of their structure.

“My Farm Lady continues to enjoy working on her farm both outside with her land and animals and inside busy with her domestic pursuits.”

Andy Alfoldy has enjoyed a productive year in the studio, painting in watercolour.

Images show returns with new work from artists SUBMITTED

The 2012 Images art show and sale will take place at Rotacrest Hall on Nov. 24 and 25. Laura Leeder and Carol Schloss will be guest artists at this year’s show.

Leeder’s watercolours evoke a feeling of timelessness and serenity through her portrayal of vintage lace, teacups, porcelain, flowers and fruit. She uses complex colour in a quiet still life format that calls to the tranquil centre in all of us.

Her love for the Creston Valley is celebrated in her newest watercolour paintings, a series featuring some of her favorite locally grown fruits and flowers. Her teacup painting, Miss Ambrosia, was chosen for the 2012 Columbia Basin Culture Tour poster and her teacup series was recently featured in a U.S. issue of TeaTime magazine. Leeder shares her painting experiences in her blog at www.lauraleeder/ blogspot.com.

Schloss, a signature member of the Pastel Society of America, joins the Images show for her second year.

“I’m finding that trees are figuring prominently in my work lately,” she said. “I have fond memories as a teenager climbing into an old apple tree to read and view the world from a different and leafier perspective.

“Trees are everywhere, (at least in this part of the world), and easy to take for granted, and yet these mysterious green beings are really solar factories that reach to the skies and down into the earth to blend the ele-

Daylight Fragments by Carol Schloss

mental energies of earth, sky, air and water, feeding us all, sheltering, warming, filtering air, moderating weather. No small feat!

They’re the oldest living things on Earth and will probably go on to survive us all!

“I’m awed by the size and longevity of the cedars here, the flexible strength of the firs under weighty snow, the lushness of the fruit trees in this valley and

their sensitivity to weather. The power of nature shines through their branches and seems to energize everything around them.

What a privilege to be here and to tap into some of that mysterious energy!”

Eileen Hirota continues to enjoy the beauty and abundance of the Creston Valley. A recent painting features cows, which is new subject matter for her —

influenced by living out in the country amidst these curious ones. Her usual love of flowers, people and animals keep surfacing with her trademark bright colours and textures. Teaching classes at the college, her studio/gallery and Adam Robertson Elementary School this past year has been keeping her open to experimental, creative possibilities.

Ute Bachinski’s outdoor work is a lively exploration in pastel of land and sky, turbulent clouds being a favourite subject. Her studio work in watercolour confirms her abiding love of food, and its rich forms and colours.

James McDowell works from his studio gallery, McDowells’ Hilltop Gallery, located on the family farm outside Creston. A self-taught artist working primarily in acrylic on hardboard, McDowell draws inspiration from all that surrounds him. His works encompass a wide variety of styles from realism to nonrepresentational and they glow with the touch of a true colourist.

Karen Arrowsmith has had a busy year, which included the opening of a new studio, the Arrowsmith Gallery in Boswell, and surgery for a new hip.

Arrowsmith’s focus this year was on more detailed paintings done from her photographs, some from her trip across Canada and others from pictures taken locally. Her subject matter ranged from scenery to portraits with some still life in between.

This year, Gunda Stewart has been exploring various pouring vessels, from tiny soy sauce servers to teapots and jugs. These complex forms have been challenging from both an aesthetic and a functional perspective. She has also been experimenting with several different glazes, including a beautiful cedar ash glaze.

Elaine Alfoldy has made artwork using watercolour, acrylic and fabric batik during 2012.
