Nickisch receives Queen’s medal

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

Following in the footsteps of Ken Miller, Lower Kootenay Band Chief Jason Louie, Lew Truscott, Harry Haberstock, Chris Luke, Muriel Buhr and Henry Schoof, Sirdar ’s Shannon Nickisch received a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal on Sunday in Nelson.

About 70 people gathered in the Hume Hotel’s Hume Room for a reception led by Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall, who also organized voting for four recipients in her riding. Over 700 online and phone-in votes were recorded, with Salmo’s Dorothy Hearn, Nelson’s Joan Reichardt and Kaslo’s Bruce Walker being selected along with Nickisch.

“The medals commemorating the sixtieth year of our monarch’s reign are not only a once-in-a-lifetime award, but such medals are rare over the course of history,” she said. “Each one of you has made outstanding positive contributions to both your community and your country, and we are all the better for it.”

Some of Nickisch’s votes came during what seemed to be a Sirdar voting party.

“We got some great voice mails one Saturday night,” Mungall said to Nickisch. “People love you.”

“I don’t know what we would do without her,” said Wynndel Hall president Bruce Johnston in a letter read by Mungall. “Shannon has been an unsung hero on our board for such a long time.”

Faced with the possibility of going it alone, the Town of Creston has received a report on its options for the operations of cemeteries, including the valley’s largest, Forest Lawn Cemetery.

Former Regional District of Central Kootenay treasurer Barry McLean reported to council on Nov. 13 that it has limited options and recommended that it try to negotiate a continued cost-sharing agreement with the RDCK. The RDCK notified the town earlier this year that it intends to pull out of the funding for Town of Creston cemetery operations in two years. In 2011 and 2012, the regional district provided $36,000 grants toward the operation of Forest Lawn.

Although the Town of Creston now operates and maintains Forest Lawn Cemetery (located in Erickson on town-owned property), it does so under the Regional District Cemetery Service. Under the agreement established in 1977, the town and areas A, B and C have contributed to its operation based on a tax of the participants’ property assessments. RDCK areas, however, are not obligated to contribute.

The cost-sharing agreement has been a bone of contention with Area B director John Kettle, who has argued that the use of the town’s unionized labour force makes maintenance costs too high.

From page 1 Nickisch has been a familiar face in the community for decades. The Creston Valley native served on the Prince Charles Secondary School student council, and later moved to Sirdar in 1964 and purchased Sirdar General Store.

In 1977, she continued a family history at the Wynndel Hall — her grandfather used to play the harpsichord at dances — by joining the board, on which she has served as secretary ever since, and has published a regular hall newsletter since 1982.

For 17 years, she was a trustee for School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) and the former School District No. 86 (Creston-Kaslo), staying on for two years after SD86 amalgamated with Nelson School District No. 7 (Nelson).

With even a brief visit to her store, it’s easy to see her passion for her unofficial position as Sirdar’s historian; the room is chock full of photos and artifacts.

Despite the list of accomplishments, no one was more shocked at the nomination than Nickisch herself.

“It was a complete surprise that someone put my name in,” she said. “It’s been quite an honour.”

She’s quick to brush off praise, though — getting involved is the only sensible thing to do.

“If you’re not on a committee, you don’t have a say in what happens,” she said.

Creston resident phoned the Advance to warn others of a telephone scam, with an unusually hostile caller.

A number that registered on the call display as “New York, 585-637-0915” was used to inform her that she needed a computer upgrade.

When prompted, she said her computer was on, and the caller replied, “You’re lying to me. If you’re lying, you’re going to be very, very sorry. Go bang your head against the wall.”

She then called the Creston resident “every name she could think of. Then after she got finished, she hung up on me.”

ingers 14 and under who are interested in competing in the youth division of Creston’s Best Singer will have a few more weeks to practice.

Producer Vern Gorham has moved the date for the youth contest from Dec. 4 to Jan. 17, two weeks before the Jan. 31 quarterfinal.

“It made more sense to place it closer to the other contests,” Gorham said. “With a shorter time between it and the adult quar-

terfinals, it will help keep the excitement building.”

The top two youth singers will compete with the top 20 adults singers in a Feb. 14 semifinal show, and the top 10 from that will compete in a final round on March 7.

Columbia River Treaty review team visits Creston

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

The lengthy process to determine the future of the Columbia River Treaty (CRT) continued in Creston on Nov. 15, with about 80 people in attendance.

Coun. Joanna Wilson, who represented Creston as acting mayor, said on Monday she was impressed with the knowledge and impartiality of the panel.

“They were very good at bringing out the issues and giving local residents a voice in the process,” she said.

The Columbia River Treaty review is designed to help inform the future of the CRT. Signed in 1961 and ratified in 1964, the CRT was designed to optimize flood management and power generation with a coordinated effort to operate reservoirs and water flows of the Columbia and Kootenay rivers in Canada and the U.S. While there is no specific end date to the treaty, either country can terminate it in or after September 2024 with at least 10 years notice.

Canadian activity in the CRT is managed by BC Hydro, which works with the Bonneville Power Administration and the United States Army Corps of Engineers to implement the terms of the treaty, which gives each country a half share in the downstream power benefits.

Wilson said the major concerns expressed on Thursday focused on the management of Kootenay River levels, which local farmers claim is leading to erosion of the dykes that allowed the Creston flats to be reclaimed for agriculture in the 1930s.

“I think a lot of people aren’t aware of the impact the damming of the Kootenay and Columbia rivers for power generation had on residents,” Wilson said. “When my family came to Canada from England we first lived near Robson.

Years later, I made a pilgrimage back there and the whole area was under water — it was astonishing to see how much farmland disappeared and how many families were displaced without even being consulted.”

The Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) was born out of a demand that residents of the Columbia Basin receive compensation for the impact of the power dams. It was created in 1995 to support social, economic and environmental well-being for the Canadian portion of the Columbia River Basin. It was provided with an endowment of $321 million, which included $276 million to invest in hydroelectric projects, $45 million to invest in other projects and $2 million a year through 2010 for operations.

Currently, the CBT provides $20 million annually in support of the efforts of Columbia Basin residents to create a legacy from the power benefits.

CBT partnered with the province of B.C. to develop three power projects at Hugh Keenleyside Dam, Brilliant Dam and Waneta Dam. The Columbia River Treaty made the news earlier in 2012 when unprecedented water levels forced Canadian and American operators to manage dams and reservoirs to limit flooding in communities on both sides of the border.

As part of the BC Hydro system, power generation at Columbia Basin facilities helps to provide approximately 44 per cent of low-cost electricity to B.C. residents and businesses. Residents also benefit from water rentals, fees paid to the province for the use of publicly owned water to produce power.

Over the last 10 years those fees have been about $120 million annually.

Upgraded Kingsgate border facility officially opened

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor Nearly eight months after it opened to traffic, an official ceremony and ribbon cutting were held for the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) port of entry facility at Kingsgate on Nov. 15.

Kootenay-Columbia member of Parliament David Wilks announced the opening on behalf of Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, the culmination of more than a year of work on the $20 million project.

“Today’s announcement serves as a clear demonstration of our government’s commitment to create jobs and investing in the infrastructure that our country needs,” said Wilks. “Our government is committed to the free flow of legitimate goods, travel and trade across our shared border with the United States, and improvements to CBSA facilities such as this one help ensure that this gets done in an efficient and effective manner.”

Completed on time and within budget (previously reported as $16 million in the March 29 Advance), the facility will improve efficiency at the port — the busiest commercial port between Osoyoos and Coutts,

Alta. — which processed, from January-November 2012, 45,000 commercial vehicles, 90,000 automobiles and 250,000 travellers.

During the same period, border services officers made 113 personal seizures, including 17 related to firearms, ammunition and weapons, 11 tobacco, 25 drug or narcotic and 20 alcohol seizures.

“By improving the quality of the Kingsgate crossing, we are ensuring that Canada, and in particular British Columbia, continues to be a destination of choice for tourists and commercial importers alike,” said Wilks. “We are all committed to making travel easier for Canadians, while ensuring their security and safety.”

The new facility has a primary inspection canopy over three lanes with bi-level booths featuring a standard-level window and one at a height suitable for semis.

Attached to the new 4,186-square-foot (1,276-squaremetre) main building is a canopy at the north end that allows shelter for secondary searches, and for travellers to park for examination or to pay taxes or duties.

Beyond that is a tertiary garage for holding vehicles.

A separate 1856-square-foot (566-square-metre) commercial warehouse has two bays to allow the complete offloading of two

semis, in the event that a total search is necessary. On occasions when semis crossing at Rykerts or Roosville, south of Jaffray, must be searched, they are escorted by the RCMP to the Kingsgate facility.

“I am proud to note that the Kingsgate port remained open to all traveller and commercial traffic throughout the construction period,” said Wilks. “That said, I would like to thank the travellers, truckers and others who use this port of entry facility for their patience during the construction phase.”

The Kingsgate port of entry, located south of Yahk between Creston and Cranbrook, was established in 1906, primarily processing passengers and freight into the mining communities of the east and west Kootenays, explained CBSA district director Anita Andersson.

“The building that stood here before the reconstruction was built in 1953,” said Andersson.

“It underwent a number of renovations to accommodate the evolving roles and functions of customs and immigration.

“This port has been an important part of our history, and this new facility ensures that Kingsgate will continue to be a valuable part of our future.”

From page 1 In his report, McLean said that Creston cemetery fees are in line with smaller B.C. communities, but larger municipalities have introduced much higher rates and provide a great range of services. In general, he said, municipal cemeteries are subsidized by taxation and use their own staff and equipment to open and close gravesites. While some contract out operations, none of those he surveyed show a profit.

Although cremation has become increasingly popular, an average of 70 bodies a year are buried in Forest Lawn. There is no space available to the public in Creston’s Pioneer Cemetery. Some of the small, regional cemeteries are now charging higher fees for the interment of non-residents.

“For both the municipal and rural area residents the best alternative is to make the operation as efficient as possible and adjust the rates required to minimize the deficit,” McLean said in his conclusion.

“Engage the rural directors in a dialogue to come to mutually agreeable terms with regard to the continued funding of the cemetery,” is one of McLean’s four recommendations, which also include creating a cemetery development plan to address lowering maintenance costs and higher revenues and preparing a bylaw that allows for annual increases sufficient to cover any known LOCAL FOODS cost increases.

Regional District of Central Kootenay chair John Kettle and the Town of Creston have agreed to make up and move on after comments that incensed town staff.

In a letter to the regional district, council claimed Kettle made a “defamatory” public statement against the town during an Oct. 19 workshop hosted by the Association of Kootenay Boundary Local Governments. They alleged he said, “Creston is in serious trouble because of mismanagement.”

“Council considers this statement to be both inappropriate and unfounded,” read the letter from Mayor Ron Toyota. “Council recognizes that such defamatory statements are part of a larger adversarial process which benefits no one.”

Kettle, however, denies uttering the comment attributed to him and says he never meant to malign employees. He says his statement came during a discussion about the new municipal auditor general and was misheard or misinterpreted.

He says he used Creston as an example of “a community in financial crisis” — although he now regrets naming it. He also says he spoke as an individual director, not as RDCK chair.

“I never said [the town] was mismanaged,” he told the Star. “How they got that, I don’t know, but I categorically deny saying that.”

Kettle says he was surprised to receive the letter of reproach because no one said anything to Council Briefs him at the time, even though Creston Coun. Wes •An amendGraham and two staff members were present. ment to rezone He has since met with council and thinks they have patched things up.

“I told them, ‘If you CHRISTMAS TEA & BAKE SALE honestly believe I said that and can find someone to back you up, you need to sue me.’ We shouldn’t wash our dirty laundry [in public].”

Toyota, who considers the matter closed, notes the letter to the regional district didn’t request any action.

“It was a matter of 306 Northwest Blvd. making a statement,” he said. “We weren’t Fresh bread, fresh pies and Christmas delights! expecting an apology, denial, or anything.

Toyota called it “an The SEASON’S unfortunate situation” but believes they had to stick up for their staff.

Cemetery a taxing issue

As I sat through retired RDCK treasurer Barry McLean’s presentation about cemeteries at last week’s town council meeting, I was amazed at what a complicated situation the town is in, really through no fault of it’s own (John Kettle will disagree — more about that in a bit).

How, I wondered, did it happen that local governments got into the business of operating cemeteries in the first place? I suppose it probably happened when legislation regulating burials and preventing them from being done on private property came into play. Anyone without a church — which was where most cemeteries were — affiliation would have been pretty much left out in the cold, so to speak, without a public, non-denominational option.

So now the town is in a situation where the Regional District of Central Kootenay could carry out its threat to stop contributing to the operation of Forest Lawn Cemetery, leaving Creston with a fairly hefty bill. And taxpayers, especially those who have no family ties to the cemetery and who have no intention of ever using the facility, could start to question the wisdom of operating cemeteries with tax dollars. While there is, by law, a portion of each plot sale put aside to create a perpetual fund for the operation of the cemetery, it now totals only about $100,000, which doesn’t generate nearly enough interest to pay for the mowing and upkeep of what amounts to a large park.

To make up for the shortfall, town and regional district taxpayers have been kicking in annually and the issue might have carried on quietly, as is, had Area B direc-

the new owner eventually went bankrupt, the operation would revert to the town. The regional district is not obligated under law to help fund the operation but McLean makes it pretty clear that he thinks there is at least a moral obligation for it to do so. Kettle seemed to hear that message when he saw the presentation, but I have no doubt he will work hard to tie Area B’s continued participation into an attempt to force the town to contract Lorne Eckersley out the work. Of course, even if town council agrees, there is still the issue of a union contor Kettle not begun to make waves about the costs. For the past tract to deal with.

Creston must change time to avoid confusion To the Editor: I heard Coun. Judy Gadicke on the radio on Nov. 15 talking about changing Creston time to mountain time.

Hallelujah! Please do this!

The time of day is very important for doing business in Creston. Many retired people seem to think it is OK to live in a constant state of confusion about the time of day, but as a business person in Creston, it is a pain in the you-know-what.

Years ago, (I think it was l984) a group of ladies and I drove to Creston in early November to participate in a conference. We were furious to find ourselves an hour late. The advertisers had not taken the space to explain that Creston does not do time like other people.

You all know, living in Creston, the time of day is always an issue. If you are headed to Cranbrook, is it the same time or later or earlier? And when you go to Porthill, what time is it there?

And when you have a medical appointment in Trail, are you on the same time as Trail or not?

Normal people do not have to constantly think about the time of day.

They change twice a year — spring for-

ward and fall back — and that’s all there is to it. When I lived in Creston, I was constantly thinking about the time before every road trip. As my work took me all over the west and east Kootenays, there was rarely a day that I was not confused about the time of day.

This insanity should quit. The same time as Cranbrook would be fine — just choose one and stick with it. Yes, Joe, this means you too!

And while you are at it, leave the change of time at the top of the summit, not halfway between Yahk and Cranbrook.

If I were Rick Mercer, I would do a rant! Please settle this confusion once and for ever.

Keep dollars in valley when making donations To the Editor: This week while shopping at Extra Foods, a fundraising company was asking for donations for Stars Air Ambulance.

Although this is a worthy cause, they are misrepresenting themselves by telling the public that Stars is flying out

www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca 7

of the Creston airport. If you go to the Stars Air Ambulance website, it clearly states there are three bases in Alberta, one in Sask, and one in Manitoba.

Last year, my brother in law confirmed with Stars headquarters that Creston is not on Stars response list.

They cannot fly into Creston without refuelling. They have flown a few missions out of Cranbrook, but none from Creston.

While I stood there listening to this individual, I heard him say that Stars is flying out of Creston, so I asked him if he was 100 per cent sure that Stars was flying out of Creston and he answered yes.

Again although Stars is a wonderful service, these donation dollars are leaving our community to support a nonlocal service, when there are organizations in Creston like the Creston Airport Society, BC Air Ambulance or our local fire department and emergency services, who are volunteers and professionals working with the community and for the community to ensure that our airport and emergency response remains available for medevac flights with our current provider, which is not Stars, but is BC Air Ambulance.

I feel that I need to inform the community that their donation dollars are not supporting the Creston community.

If you have bought a calendar with the understanding that Stars is flying out of Creston, I encourage you to go online at calendar@stars.ca or call them on their toll-free number, 1-877-7788288, and let them know how you feel about being misled.

Lojong slogan 54: Train wholeheartedly

It is probably clear by now that Zen practice with these slogans is all about a commitment to training the mind.

And since the nature of mind training goes directly against our entrenched and deep-rooted habit of selfcherishing, it is easy to come up with a variety of excuses for not keeping up with meditation and study.

All humans have a tendency to ego solidification, and because of that we are ready to pounce on anything that threatens a longingrained fixed view of who we are. It is a natural function of the brain to be constantly scanning and seeking ways to secure ourselves further. Ego plays both a defensive and offensive game.

Ironically, our ego trickery is such that even when studying Zen and the slogans, the philosophy of mind training can be co-opted as just another tool of self-gratification. That is why meditation and study alone is not enough. For these teachings to have

Buddhist practices are all about mind, nothing else. But the notion of wholeheartedness is that you really feel what you feel and that you feel it completely.

Haystack Meadow’s big toads Creatures that I encounter quite frequently on my trips into Haystack Mountain are large toads. There, I also often encounter lots of mosquitoes,

Neither a ground squirrel nor marmot would bother a toad, as those bumps under the skin on the back, if broken, would spill out a smelly, as well as poisonous, substance. Tiger salamanders are also known to occupy and hibernate in burrows coming out each day, or in the spring, unscathed from their underground existence.

If you visit Haystack Mountain’s alpine meadows you may also find these large, often three-inch, toads on the open matted vegetation around pools and little streams and seeps waiting for food to pass by or, perhaps, waiting to see if they need to flee, out of your reach, to a place of refuge. For these creatures, burrows under large boulders, deep rock crevices and overhangs of thick moss along streamlets, make good places to spend the winter.

B.C., Idaho singers offering Orthodox chants and hymns SUBMITTED Orthodox Christian singers and chanters from Southern B.C. and Northern Idaho will present a variety of styles illustrating the rich musical and iconographic tradition of the Eastern Orthodox Church at the Snoring Sasquatch at 7 p.m. Nov. 24.

Around 150 A.D., Justin Martyr described the liturgical worship service of his time.

Although a bit fuller, the eastern Orthodox of today still follows that same basic structure, even using some of the same phrases.

“Church music in the Orthodox Christian Church has been a vital component of worship in the divine services since the foundation of Christianity, following in the traditions established during Old Testament times,” says an orthodoxwiki.org entry. “The music and styles of today are of composite origin, drawing on the artistic and technical developments of the classical age, on Jewish music, and inspired by the monophonic vocal music that evolved in the early Christian cities of Alexandria, Antioch, Ephesus, and Europe.

Orthodox services are sung nearly in their entirety.”

For example, Gladsome Light (Phos Hilaron) “is an ancient Christian hymn originally written in New Testament Greek,” says an entry at choosingtolookeast.blogspot.ca. “This hymn, sometimes referred to as the Lamplighter hymn, goes back to the second century. It is the oldest non-scriptural hymn in Christianity and to this very day is still used as part of vespers in the Eastern Orthodox Church.”

Worship in the ancient church integrated all of the senses working in unison with the heart and soul, featuring the unaccompanied voice in the presence of the iconography of heaven.

“Come” as the early chants compel us, “taste and see.”

Explore ancient worship through sight and sound to doorways that lead us beyond this world. Music from the various services of the ancient Orthodox Church complements the vivid visual images presented during this night of mystery and majesty.

A question-and-answer session will follow the free performance. For more information, call 208-304-3673.

Library offering films through National Film Board CRESTON AND DISTRICT PUBLIC LIBRARY

For the past number of years the Creston and District Public Library has been proud to offer free public screenings of current, thought-provoking documentary films. The tradition continues in a new and exciting format as the library has recently joined the National Film Board of Canada’s Film Club. This film club offers monthly screenings of top-notch documentary films produced, co-produced or distributed by the NFB.

This fall, the library is pleased to present two feature documentary films: Pink Ribbons, Inc. (Nov. 29) and Surviving Progress (Dec. 13).

Pink Ribbons, Inc., created by filmmaker Léa Pool, examines the breast cancer charity “industry”. Breast cancer, states the filmmaker, has become the poster child of cause-related marketing campaigns. Each year, countless women and men walk, bike, climb and shop for the cure. Millions of dollars are raised in the name of breast cancer, but where does this money go and what does it actually achieve? Pink Ribbons, Inc. shows how the devastating reality of breast cancer has become overshadowed by a shiny, pink story of success.

Pink Ribbons, Inc. will be preceded by an animated short film, Missed Connection, the story of a delusional young man who spots the girl of his

dreams in his favourite café and weaves a self-indulgent fantasy story of their imagined life together. Missed Connection examines our universal desire to connect in a world of beautiful strangers.

On Dec. 13, see Surviving Progress, a film inspired by Ronald Wright’s bestselling book, A Short History of Progress.

Surviving Progress presents the story of human advancement as awe-inspiring and double-edged. It reveals the grave risk of running the 21st century’s software — our know-how — on the ancient hardware of our primate brain which hasn’t been upgraded in 50,000 years. With rich imagery filmmakers Mathieu Roy and Harold Crooks launch us on journey to contemplate our evolution from cavedwellers to space explorers. Surviving Progress is a cinematic requiem to progress-as-usual. Throughout human history,

what seemed like progress often backfired. Some of the world’s foremost thinkers, activists, bankers and scientists challenge us to overcome progress traps, which destroyed past civilizations and lie treacherously embedded in our own.

Surviving Progress will be preceded by the animated short Drux Flux, which addresses the ideological excesses of the 20th century. Drux Flux is a frenetic animation inspired by Herbert Marcuse’s book, One-Dimensional Man. Admission is free to all films, which are shown at the Creston and District Public Library. Pink Ribbons, Inc. and Missed Connection start at 7 p.m. Nov. 29, with a running time of 100 minutes. See Surviving Progress and Drux Flux start at 7 p.m. Dec. 13 with a running time of 92 minutes. For more information, call the library at 250-428-4141.

Johnson and Kings of Kitchener backing five valley singers SUBMITTED Five Creston singers — Jennee Rumley, Llana Kilpatrick, Debra Mehrer, Joanne Ferry and Shelli Morris Hutcheson — will be backed by drummer Eric Johnson and the Kings of Kitchener when Songbird Suite runs at the Snoring Sasquatch on Nov. 25.

Jennee Rumley moved to Kitchener when she was nine years old. She has enjoyed becoming a part of the diverse music that is in the Creston area. Although she is not fond of being in the spotlight, she has a passion for music and enjoys the opportunity to be involved in it.

Llana Kilpatrick was raised in Montreal, lived in Edmonton raising her son, and moved to the Creston Valley in 1994. She has sung in pop

Introducing...

music choirs, studied music production, and tuned pianos in the Far North. Kilpatrick has also enjoyed some voice training classes with Elizabeth Stepkowski Tarhan and David Hatfield.

She sang with a local trio named Evergreen a couple of years ago, and is currently singing in a yet-tobe-named trio, with Eric Johnson and Ken Gerding, singing soft rock and some folk.

Kilpatrick is currently learning to accompany herself on guitar for solo work, and is also a local member of an a cappella improvisational singing group. Her personal musical regret is that she has yet to sing in a rock band.

Joanne Ferry moved to the Creston Valley three years ago from the West Coast. She has always had a secret desire to sing and even studied voice but never pursued it.

The Snoring Sasquatch became one of Ferry’s favorite haunts in Creston and it was there that she found the inspiration and courage to just get up and sing. A year ago at an open stage, she met Johnson

and asked him if he would help her prepare a few songs to perform and accompany her on guitar at an open stage and the rest is history.

Debra Mehrer appeared on the music scene about six years ago, playing bass and doing vocal backups with Celtic/folk band Peanut Butter and Jam. She has played bass and done some vocal work with the Gone Country band, and is currently the bassist with blues/rock band Fat Charlie.

She is exploring the solo aspect of singing and is enjoying the adventure of everything from folk to classical.

Shelli Morris Hutcheson grew up singing in church and at community events in rural northern Alberta with her sisters and cousins — and thus began her love for folk and roots music. She was always drawn to music and the joy she and others received from it. Hutcheson was 12 years old when she got her first guitar and her uncle showed her a few chords.

Music took a back seat to motherhood and career, however, until she opened the Snoring Sasquatch in 2005.

Although an introvert and uninterested in performing publically, she began to sing ONE-BEDROOM SUITE reluctantly at karaoke.

After singing a few AVAILABLE NOW!!! duets with Johnson and receiving encourCRESTON, BC agement, they began CALL (250) 428-9986 to perform at Snoring Sasquatch’s open Delicious Meals stage, the Wynndel 24-Hour Emergency Monitoring Coffee House, Swan Valley Lodge and variTransportation ous local events.

Daily Activities Kilpatrick joined them to form the trio Housekeeping Evergreen. Hutcheson Entertainment continues to perform occasionally with her Private Suites with Kitchen musical friends.

Tickets are $10 in advance at Black Bear Books and Kingfisher Used Books, or $13 at the door, which opens at 6 p.m.; the show starts at 7.

Bird fest seeking poster artwork CRESTON VALLEY BIRD FEST

The May 10 and 11, 2013, Creston Valley Bird Fest is only five months away. The festival committee is looking for a piece of art to purchase to become the festival poster with which to advertise this exciting new event for the Creston Valley. The committee

has budgeted $400 for the festival art piece.

Interested artists are invited to submit a good quality photo stating the medium and dimensions of their art piece to Jim Jacobsen at the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce before Dec. 31.

Artists are free to choose their medium. An identifiable bird theme is pre-

Comedy is the name of the game when Footlighters Theatre Society presents Fractured Fairy Tales, the second production of its 18th season, from Nov. 29 to Dec.1 at the Prince Charles Theatre.

In a similar format to 2010’s Christmasthemed Season’s Grinnings (comprised of Happy Hollandaise and Misdeeds at Mistletoe Mine), the evening will consist of two oneact plays, this time offering a new twist on familiar fairy tale characters in Big Bad and The Quest for Quasi: How Little Red Got Her Hunch Back.

In Big Bad, the Big Bad Wolf (played

by Suzanne Chubb) is put on trial for a variety of crimes. The Three Little Pigs (Zoe Fenrick, Marybeth Stenhouse and Emma Archambault), Red Riding Hood (T.J. van Hooft) and the Boy Who Cried Wolf (Axel Marini) take the stand in a trial prosecuted by the Evil Stepmother (Susan Jorgensen) and overseen by the Judge (Jordan Koop).

Reporter Sidney Grimm (Mary Roundy) and her cameraman (Colt Martin), Fairy Godmother (Gail Kitt), Grandmother Hood (Jennifer Dewald), Bill Woodcutter (Warren Bruns), Shepherd (Marc Archambault) and Miss Muffet (Jasmine Lothien) also feature in the courtroom comedy, which allows the audience to choose the final verdict.

“That adds something different for the

audience and some excitement for the actors,” said Big Bad director Jon Smith.

“I’ve been having a lot of fun randomly springing the possible endings on the cast during rehearsals.”

The Quest for Quasi also offered something different for the cast — the chance to play several roles in a single play.

“This is something we haven’t done for quite some time,” said director Brian Lawrence. “Even our last few musicals, which typically have many opportunities to play several roles, haven’t required an ensemble to double up on parts. With several short scenes with just a few characters in each, it made sense to give people two or three parts.

It’s been a blast to see them make each of their roles different from the other.”

In The Quest for Quasi, Red Riding Hood (Jacqui Vezina) falls in love with Quasimodo (Vern Gorham), but the Wicked Witch of the West (Ann Deatherage) tells her that she can’t be with him until she collects Captain

“This season really focused on familyfriendly shows but ones that all ages will enjoy,” said Lawrence. “With Fractured Fairy Tales there is a lot of humour that adults will get a kick out of.”

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff Attribute the wood-fired oven that now inhabits her yard in Erickson to Andrea Revoy’s persistence.

Revoy, best known to Creston Valley residents for the ceramics she creates in her home workshop, had her first brush with a similar oven while she was attending Red Deer College several years ago. Australian ceramic artist and wood-fired oven-making guru Alan Watt ran a course in how to make outdoor ovens at the college.

“It was really expensive and I couldn’t take the week off to do it, but I saw the oven and there were aspects of it that I really liked,” she says. “When I did more research into woodfired ovens, there was the low-tech, ultra-hippie — dig your own dirt and mix it with your feet — and there was his, sort of the mid-range where you use bricks and some of the same ideas as the low-tech oven. And then there were these $10,000 high tech ovens. I liked Alan’s.”

Drawn to the simple design and the fact that Watt’s ovens are weather resistant, impermeable to rain and snow, she knew what she wanted, especially because she envisioned a patio connecting the lower floor of her home with an oven that was easily accessible.

“I knew I wanted one like Alan’s but I was sure I would want one before I would ever be able to take the workshop.”

She contacted Red Deer College about getting notes from Watt, didn’t get a response and then found “a really obscure Australian web-

Lorne Eckersley

site” selling Watt’s book. Two months after ordering, having received nothing, she emailed him directly.

“I told him I was Canadian. Did he have any copies of his book that I could buy from him?

“He promptly emailed me back, stating he didn’t have a book published. It took me about an hour searching the web to find that weird, obscure publisher and I finally found his book. I then noticed that it wasn’t going to be ready for sale until May (this was March) and then I knew why the book had never arrived.”

She emailed the link to Watt, only to learn that he hadn’t even written the first draft and was shocked to hear from someone in Canada that the book was supposed to be available in two months.

“I told him he had better get on it — I had a lot of friends and neighbours wanting pizza!”

Revoy ended up back in Red Deer last October, taking Watt’s workshop in person. There, not knowing she was present, he told the story about his book that wasn’t published and the Canadian who had told him about it.

“I raised my hand and said, ‘That was me.’

We had a good laugh and I guess the rest is history.”

Watt was back in Red Deer as an artist in residence at the college last summer, and offered to conduct other workshops. Revoy took him up on the offer and in short order had 14 people registered for a $200, two-day hands-on course. The bonus was that, for the price of the materials, she and her husband would end up with a brand-new dome-shaped oven in their yard.

Her fascination with outdoor ovens began with a love of bread making, but the workshop was a demonstration in how social outdoor pizza making can be.

“Making ceramics is very sociable at times and it’s the same with these ovens,” she says.

“What’s the point of heating an oven to 800 degrees when you are cooking a couple of pizzas for yourself. It’s way more fun to have a community thing.”

The oven’s construction was simple enough.

On top of a concrete block base, a layer of high temperature bricks is laid down to create the oven floor. Ordinary red bricks or high temperature bricks are stood to form a circle and the dome shape is gradually created — when the inward curve starts the area is filled with sand, which is then molded to create a dome shape. A slurry of high temperature concrete is poured over the dome, layers of ceramic blanket (an insulating material) are added, then more concrete is poured on and worked to create a smooth finish. The dome has a hole to accommodate a steel chimney.

Christmas Gift Guide Pros and cons of makeup

BY VICKY PAQUETTE Grade 12

Cosmetics have been around for centuries with the rise of ancient civilizations and for a distinct ruling class, the intention being to improve one’s individual looks to show off one’s power, wealth or attractiveness. This brought about the rise in the cosmetic industry. Greek women preferred a natural look instead of applying foundation and hiding what the gods have given them.

The Greek goddess Aphrodite was never slathered in makeup so women believed they shouldn’t be either. Although in today’s society there are many reasons that sway women to wear cosmetics, the reasons have negative and positive effects.

Wearing makeup is a way of expressing yourself, just the same as you wear certain clothes to stand out and be creative. Wearing cosmetics is a high self-esteem booster because it makes women feel prettier, enhancing their features. Foundations cover up unwanted scars that women

Health Canada removing choice Dear Health Canada: My name is Veronica Palmer.

I am 15 years old and have just finished reading the article, “What is Health Canada Up To?”, written by Nick Mancuso.

I haven’t heard anything about

might have on their faces, and women wear cosmetics to impress men. Teenage girls wear makeup to appear older while older women wear it to look younger. There are several careers to choose from the cosmetic industry. The movie industry has professional makeup artists for each film, and the Canadian fragrance industry makes an estimated $9.14 billion in retail yearly.

Some foundations protect against the sun because they contain antioxidants and moisturizers.

Wearing cosmetics blocks out the sebum glands in the face (if these glands become blocked, spots usually appear).

Too much makeup will definitely contribute to facial acne and blemishes, so it’s best not to wear too much makeup to outdo other girls on account of peer pressure. There are traces of chemical use in makeup such as (methyl, propyl, butyl and ethyl) found in foundations, concealers and mascara.

Makeup is fake! Depending on how much you put on evenly applied, you can overdo it. Too much and you look like a what you’re doing until now and I strongly disagree with your actions. I am also trying to figure out why you’re going along with what’s happening.

You are replacing high-quality herbs and vitamins with lowdosage, inferior products made by pharmaceutical companies.

Over 20,000 herbs, vitamins, and food supplements have been removed from the shelves.

They have also been removing safe and effective healing products and replacing them with products that are responsible for over 750,000 deaths a year from toxic side effects. They are now the leading cause of accidental deaths.

Another thing I’m upset

Barbie doll, using foundation and concealers hide your character. When you’re not wearing makeup it feels like you’re naked without it.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of chemicals that occur naturally in coal, crude oil and gasoline.

One of the more common PAHs is naphthalene. Some cosmetics and shampoos are made with coal tar and therefore may contain PAHs. They have been shown to increase the risk of breast cancer. Lead may be a contaminant in over 650 cosmetic products, including sunscreens, foundation, nail colours, lipstick and whitening toothpaste. Lead is a proven neurotoxin, linked to learning language and behavioral problems. It has also been linked to miscarriage, reduced fertility in men and women, and delays in puberty onset in girls.

Whether you decide to wear makeup or not, it’s your choice to wear it and society shouldn’t pressure you. Personally, I chose to wear cosmetics.

Remember to feel comfortable in your own skin — you’re beautiful inside and out! about is that you are not giving us Canadians a choice. You are just replacing the vitamins, herbs and food supplements that everyone loves with mean, nasty, horrible supplements that kill 750,000 people a year without giving us the choice we deserve. Even a two-year-old can tell you that it’s not fair.

You crushed my soul, my hopes, my dreams, because I no longer have the choice and the right of freedom. What’s next? Are you going to start taking away certain foods?

Clothes? Jewelry? Hair products? Is everything going to be controlled?

As well, the society owns and operates the Rebekah Manor on Hillside Street.

In his annual report, executive director Peter Feltham reported he was pleased with the operations during 2011-2012. BC Housing provides funds, as well as the rent paid by clients. He praised the directors and their management group for their diligence during the year.

Key personnel for the organization

besides Feltham are Roger Smith, Mary Gregory, Ivy Rombough, Vicky Wayling and Michelle Whiteaway.

Elected were chair Bob Meredith, vicechair and scretrary-treasurer Eric Kutzner, past-chair Alex Nilsson and directors Peter McIsaac, Judy Wilson, Rita Petrich, Trish Marshall, Todd Dixon and Gery Teed.

IRON MEN — In spite of the usual uninviting weather conditions, over 100 golfers tested their skills, their bodies and our excellent golf course in the Creston Golf Club’s 2012 Iron Man Tournament on Oct. 27. George Goulder and Al Machnau (right) emerged triumphant with an impressive net score of 61. Tied for second were the Don Harbison/Tim Park team and Don Vigne/Jack Soare, with 63. The trophy was named in memory of Garth Oko, former greens chair and club captain, a real “iron man” who will be sorely missed.

for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a oneon-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly.

“Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes.

She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably?

• Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra?

• Do you overflow the cup of your bra?

• Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks?

• Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support?

• Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running?

If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

The Creston Valley Minor Hockey Association’s bantam rep team spent Nov. 16-18 in the U14 Bantam Blastoff tournament at the Glacier Arena in Missoula, Mont.

Matthew Armitage was the starting goalie for all games, facing many shots and made many great saves.

On Friday afternoon, the boys battled Okotoks, Alta., coming up with the win 3-1. All goals scored by Jacob Kolodychuk, with assists going to Alex Blackmore and Jake Livingstone.

On Saturday morning they lost with a score of 1-0 to Idaho Falls, Idaho. That evening they faced Missoula on home ice, but despite great effort, they couldn't find the win, losing 4-1.

Creston's single goal was scored by Livingstone.

The tournament was wrapped up Sunday morning. Creston battled hard against Jackson, Wyo., coming up with a 3-2 win. Two secondperiod goals were scored by Brody Ryan, the first assisted by Livingstone and Levi Palmer, and the second unassisted. The third goal was scored by Livingstone, also unassisted.

• The Creston Chiefs peewee rep team hosted the Invermere Rockies at home on Nov. 10. In a well-played game between both clubs, the Chiefs came out with a 4-1 victory.

Invermere opened the scoring with 7:48 left in the first period, and the Chiefs responded two minutes later with Logan Rast scoring, assisted by Davis Nelson. The second period was a good skating game with both teams getting good scoring chances, and the goaltenders both played well.

Thunder Cats win 8-3, lose 7-0 to Nitehawks

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

A weekend that started out with the Creston Valley Thunder Cats beating the Beaver Valley Nitehawks 8-3 on Friday ended with a 7-0 loss to the Nitehawks on Sunday.

“We came out with an extremely good effort, and I think our heads got a little bit swollen thinking it was going to be easy again,” said Hepditch. “If you beat a team 8-3, you kind of get the mindset it’s going be like that again, but we’ve got to come focused and ready to play every night.”

Sunday’s game saw the Nitehawks — who hold third place in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Neil Murdoch Division — score a single goal in the first period, four (including one shorthanded and one on a power play) in the second period, and two (one on a power play) in the third.

Penalties were few in the first and second periods, but six Thunder Cats earned penalties in the third, with Joey Berget and Tyler Akeroyd each earning a game misconduct.

That game was an overwhelming change from Friday’s 8-3 win at home.

“We played pretty close to a full 60 minutes, like we want to do every night,” said Hepditch.

The Thunder Cats started the scoring with Darcy Flaherty and Andrew

Hodder (power play) scoring six and nine minutes, respectively, into the first period.

Following Nitehawks goals late in the first and early in the second, the Thunder Cats’ power-play units kept up their hard work, with Trevor LeBlanc, Trevor Hanna and Marcel Fuchs scoring power-play goals.

Entering the third period down 5-2, Brad Gaboury of the Nitehawks scored an unassisted goal at 14:24, with the Thunder Cats adding three more, by Ty Kronewitt, Matti Jmaeff (power play) and Berget.

The Nitehawks outshot the Thunder Cats 34-29, and Hepditch credits goaltender Zach Straza with keeping them in the game. He also noted the performance of Jmaeff, Jesse Collins and Ethan Rusnack, who earned 11 points between them. “[Rusnack] drove hard to the net all night,” said Hepditch. “He made a couple of really nice backboard passes, which is really nice to see.”

This weekend, the Thunder Cats are away, visiting the Summerland Steam on Friday and the Kelowna Chiefs on Saturday. The Chiefs are third in the Okanagan Division and the Steam are fourth, and should provide reasonably even matches for the Thunder Cats.

“I think it will be good for us to get away and let the guys gel a little bit and play on the road,” said Hepditch. “It will be a good weekend to improve ourselves as a team.”
