Downtown parking to remain free indefinitely

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

TODAY'S WEATHER

Plugging parking meters is going the way of the dodo after a town council decision at the Jan. 29 regular meeting to continue with free parking in metered spaces. There was no end date attached to the motion.

After considering an administration report on its options — to reinstate paid meter parking, to adopt new technology for paid parking or to extend free parking — Coun. Jerry Schmalz moved to continue no-fee parking with a two-hour time limit.

Town manager Lou Varela told council that studies conducted in the summer months of 2011 and 2012 showed there is no shortage of parking in the downtown core.

“We are at about 70 per cent of capacity at peak times and compliance to the two-hour limit is more than 90 per cent,” she said. “The results were consistent over two years of study.”

Enforcement of the two-hour limit will continue with random checks and by responding to complaints from businesses and citizens.

While no councillor spoke in favour of paid parking, council will still hear a report from staff in the near future about voluntary paid parking. Under such a system, “donations” fed into parking meters could be directed to charity or toward designated town projects.

Incumbent Mary Basil was re-elected and Robin Louie will serve his first term after returning to Lower Kootenay last year.

“I would like to say that it is a great honour to be asked to MC this event,”

Creston Mayor Ron Toyota said. “Chief Jason Louie and his council have worked very hard to promote strong working relationships with the Town of Creston and Regional District of Central Kootenay.”

Also competing in the first adult night were Daryl Collison, Justin Lysohirka and Caleb Siggers. Kyran Grant, who placed in the top five in the 2012 edition, was unavailable to compete in the semifinal, although audience voting would have allowed him to move on.

Housing society finds land for project

LOcaL news

www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca 3

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff Five years after its formation, the Creston Valley Community Housing Society has partnered with the Town of Creston for a building site.

An agreement has been reached that will pave the way for construction of affordable family housing units on the south Millennium Park parking lot, currently home to the Farmers Market.

“We anticipate a really good relationship with the Farmers Market,” said CVCHS spokesperson Rita Scott. “They can certainly use the land until it’s needed, and that could be quite a long time.”

Construction of what Scott said is muchneeded rental housing for families is dependent on provincial funding. But the land acquisition is a key step in getting approval.

“It has been a real challenge,” she said. “We looked at many other possible sites. Now we will work with architect Christine Ross to try to be really innovative and be environmentally responsible.”

Creston mayor Ron Toyota said the town’s partnership role is similar to the one undertaken to facilitate construction of Crestbrook Gardens, the low-cost seniors’ housing project that opened south of the railway tracks last year.

“Like that site, we will still need a geo-tech study because it was the sawmill property,” Toyota said. “This is an important project because it addresses the housing needs of families. The housing society has done a tremendous amount of work, including a needs and demands survey, to get to this stage.”

Scott said local volunteers are committed to a quality project “that won’t look like crap in three years. Having really good local management in place will be our strength.”

She said the society’s relationship with the town has been positive, and enhanced by town manager Lou Varella’s experience in planning.

Scott said that Creston’s lack of affordable family housing should help push the project’s funding needs to be addressed by the province.

“But we really need the support of the community to do this,” she said. “There will never be enough money from the government, so we will need to ask for in-kind donations of labour and goods. And for money, of course.

“We are really excited to actually nail down a site, and looking forward to answering public questions and exchanging ideas.”

A public meeting is being planned for Feb. 19 at the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce.

“Low cost housing is critical for families that struggle with income, to enable them to afford the other things beyond rent that keeps body and soul together,” Scott said. “It gives families a hand up and allows them to be part of a community so they can give as well as get.”

Youth forum names priorities

About 70 people — including 50 youth — attended a Columbia Basin Trust youth forum on Jan. 30.

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

A forum held at Prince Charles Secondary School on Jan. 30 identified safe youth space, a youth co-ordinator and youth activities as priorities for the Creston Valley.

About 70 people — 50 youth, from Creston, Bountiful and the Lower Kootenay Band, and 20 adults, including regional district directors, the RCMP and members of the social services sector and arts communities — attended the forum, part of an initiative by Columbia Basin Trust (CBT), which is giving communities $25,000 a year for four years to put toward youth projects.

Aimee Ambrosone, CBT’s planning and development manager, facilitated the discussion, which had groups bring up key issues surrounding youth aged 12-19, explore ideas surrounding the issues and, finally, choose priorities.

The lack of a safe place for youth or youth centre was quickly named as an issue, with eight of about a dozen groups identifying it.

“Usually, it’s Millennium [Park] where most youth hang out, but that’s not always the best place,” said a boy.

“It’s not even open in the winter,” a girl added.

One participant stated that a few youth centres have popped up in Creston and subsequently failed, but Regional District of Central Kootenay Area C director Larry Binks felt that better input on their operation is needed.

“It will work if we decide it’s going to work,” said Binks. “We have to get the buy-in from young people.”

A lack of sports, art and other activities that youth actually choose and want was also a big issue.

One girl said that the Creston and District Community Complex’s leisure guide offered little for older teens.

“It had a few programs for teens under 16 and the only programs for over 16 were adult programs,” a girl said. “None of those were ones teens wanted to do.”

Art classes for teens are hard to find, said another girl, and art groups in the valley are geared toward older artists.

“They don’t do anything interesting,” she said.

“If you aren’t in minor hockey, there is no ice time,” said Mary Roundy, a teacher at Mormon Hills Elementary Secondary School.

She also raised a concern about the use of Goat River, which is often accessed on Highway 21 in a highspeed zone made congested by cars parked on both sides of the road.

“We’ve built barriers around our water rather than making it safely accessible,” said Mormon Hills school teacher Mary Roundy.

Binks spoke up to let the forum know that a plan is underway that would allow safe access and parking, but that nothing will happen until 2014.

“It’s a process and we’ve been working on it for the last four or five months,” he said.

Other issues discussed included transportation and drugs/alcohol, but the ideas of a committee, space, coordinator, activates and river access were carried through to the priority identification stage. Participants were given stickers to place beside the priority of their choice, and some chose to split their vote between two options or share it between two.

“Youth committee” received five votes and “Youth space” received 19.5, with five shared between the two.

“Youth space” shared three votes with “Co-ordinator”, which earned 14.5 on its own. Six votes went to “Activity” and three were given to “River access”.

The priorities identified will be discussed in the near future, and the funds will be distributed to the community through the Town of Creston. This sort of discussion was needed in the community, said Jesse Willicome, Creston’s CBT youth liaison, who organized the forum.

“After being away from Creston for almost 10 years, I was surprised by how much things have changed — a lot of positive change,” said Willicome. “I was surprised to see things haven’t changed for youth that much. … I feel there’s a sort of critical mass around the issue. A lot of groups are trying to address it.”

He’s looking forward to continuing the process and making changes for Creston’s youth — and this forum was just the beginning.

“I think it’s going to be big in terms of the conversations it’s started,” he said. “I think the momentum will continue.”

Carnival to use town Wildsight presenting energy extraction documentary land during May visit

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

West Coat Amusements Ltd. will once again be allowed to use town property adjacent to Millennium Park when it comes to the area from May 2-5 this year. Coun. Jerry Schmalz voted against the motion, arguing that it doesn’t contribute enough to the community.

Town employee and Blossom Festival committee chair Bev Caldwell told council that the committee receives about $3,000 or more from West Coast Amusements under the land use agreement. In addition, she said, the amusement park accepts non-perishable food donations in exchange for a ride pass discount on one of the days it is in Creston. The donations are then contributed to the food bank.

Council Briefs •Council agreed to review any issues or resolutions that arise before regional, provincial and federal conferences to discuss voting strategies.

•In the next citizen survey, Creston residents will be asked how they prefer to get communications from the Town of Creston, whether via email, letter, newsletter, website, social media and more.

•The town will donate items up to a $100 value for the Creston Valley Rod and Gun Club’s annual wild game dinner and awards night on Feb. 16.

•Mayor Ron Toyota will attend the BC Mayors’ Caucus steering committee meeting in Prince George on April 29 and 30.

•Councillors voted to pay for two half-day stipends to council members who participated in daytime strategic planning sessions on Jan. 16 and 17.

•Council received a draft copy of Cultivating Creston, an integrated community sustainability plan that it spearheaded over the last year.

Ross Beddoes, the town’s municipal services co-ordinator, who organized much of the work for the town, received compliments and thanks for his efforts on the project.

•Council approved a request from Schmalz to rename the Community Pride Committee to the Creston Valley Spirit Committee.

Updated terms of reference for the standing committee are being created and representatives from community organizations will be invited to join.

•The engineering and public works department was directed to move forward several equipment purchases that were planned for the coming year. Purchases made before the harmonized sales tax is discontinued later this spring will save the town about $47,000 because they will qualify for a full tax rebate.

•Town manager Lou Varela reported that an agreement with the Regional District of Central Kootenay to continue to provide fire protection service for Erickson is nearly complete and should be signed within the next week or two.

She also said that preliminary discussions are underway to consider adding fire protection to other areas, including Lakeview and Arrow Creek, which currently have no fire protection.

•Varela read an announcement by the Canadian Federation of Municipalities that Toyota will be receiving a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal. Toyota later learned that all mayors and chairs of regional districts and their equivalents will be similarly honoured.

As I recall, it was a chilly, early winter day. We had stopped at a Wal-Mart for something or other and I was drawn, no doubt as I thought of the cool temperatures to which we would soon return, to a display of men’s long-sleeved pullovers.

Now, I’m a lucky guy.

I’m an off-the-rack buyer. A size 10 shoe will always fit comfortably, 36 pants will not leave me gasping for air if I sit awhile (though a 30 leg is just a bit too short and a 32 soon leaves me with frayed cuffs — a 31, of course, is as rare as the proverbial hen’s teeth) and an XL shirt will give me the suitable sleeve length and the loose fit that I prefer. I could use a couple of comfy long sleeved pullovers for the winter, I thought, and I found some that felt nice. I picked up a couple and off we went.

And I fell in love with those shirts. The poly-cotton blend didn’t pill after the first washing, the sleeves are just right and the shirts aren’t too heavy or too light. For the next few months I found myself changing into one as soon as I got home from work.

Then recently, purely by chance, I found myself once again in a Wal-Mart and there was another display of those shirts, in different hues and patterns. I picked up two more, thinking that maybe I should just buy a couple dozen and I’d never have to shop for another comfortable winter shirt again. Fortunately, common sense prevailed.

The shirts went through the wash and were ready to give me a rotation of four, not two, pullovers for wear around home. But some-

thing seemed odd. It finally struck me that the newest additions to my wardrobe fit quite differently to the first ones. I checked the labels. Same size, XL. Same mate-

What’s wrong with time?

To the Editor: Could someone please explain to me what is wrong with “Creston time”? In my opinion, as well as many other people’s opinions, not a damn thing! Obviously, certain knuckleheaded town council members (and you know who you are) seem to think that there is. My advice to you is, if you want to live in a certain time zone, move there. If you don’t like Creston time, leave. There you go. Your problem is solved.

Like the old saying goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” But by the looks of it, our councillors have nothing better to do than waste our tax dollars trying to “fix” an issue that really isn’t an issue at all.

Is this just a make work project? Is there not enough work to keep six councillors occupied? If that’s the case, maybe we should consider having only three members on our town council.

Come on, people, think about it. It would save the town some money, which would actually benefit our community and surrounding communities, as well.

To those councillors who want to change to Pacific or mountain time: Stop wasting our Creston time and find something more productive to do!

Israel conflict is spiritual To the Editor, I am writing in response to Clive England’s Dec. 13 letter (“Canada now appears to be pro-Israeli”) expressing his disgust at Canada’s opposition to granting observer status to the Palestinians. England portrays Israel as a hardline nation that opposes the Palestinians at every turn. To be fair, we need to look at the history of the conflict and realize that the Muslim leadership of the Palestinians does not want Israel there at all, and has used every means at its disposal to rid the land of the Jews, not just the “sticks and stones” England refers to. Israel is in a precarious situation, a democracy surrounded by enemies who, as England points out, do not even recognize her right to exist. As a friend of mine asked, “How can one negotiate with people who are opposed to your very existence?”

The conflict over Israel is primarily spiritual. Israel, through the Bible, brought to the world the teachings and principles on which are based the laws and guiding principles of most, if not all, of the free countries of the world. Even our own Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms recognizes the supremacy of God and the rule of law as foundational to our democracy. The god who is recognized as having dominion over Canada is not a god of our own making, but is the god of Abraham, Isaac and Israel.

Israel is truly a light to the nations; throughout history, God has shown that He has never forsaken His people or His plans for them. From Israel came Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah whose birth, life, rejection, death, resurrection and eternal Kingdom were foretold in the

OpiniOn Line

Scriptures. These same Scriptures tell us that He came not to condemn the world, but that the world through Him could be saved, which is the reason the Gospel message has gone out from Israel to all the world. It is the good news, the light for everyone: All who call on Him will be saved!

Opposition to Israel and her message to the world has resulted in persecution, pogroms and the Holocaust, not to mention the situation of today, where we see Israel surrounded by enemies. As someone has said, “If Israel’s enemies laid down their arms, there would be peace; if Israel laid down her arms, there would be no Israel.” Personally, I am proud of Canada’s support for Israel, a country and a people to whom we owe the principles (and the Saviour) that make and keep us strong and free. As it says on our Parliament buildings, “He shall have dominion from sea to sea.”

Thank God for the privileges He has given us, a country strong and free, based on His principles. We owe much to Israel.

All are free to choose God or hell To the Editor: The Jan. 10 column by Vladimir Certik (Consider This: “Religion versus the Bible”) was too negative toward denominations. He claims to be thinking outside the box but fails to realize he is just in a different box.

This writer knows because he was once in that very same box, very dogmatic, self-righteous and saw only other churches’ beliefs as negative dogmas.

How did I get out of that box?

First, I never met a pastor or priest I did not like. Next, to my surprise, I could not deny that I met so many people from those religious-bound denominations who were by far nicer, having more patience and better attitudes than me. In other words, more like Jesus.

Finally, the truth that God looks at our hearts and not at our dogmas or our denominations was understood.

There is only one church from God’s perspective, so let us love and uphold one another.

A genuine Christian supports Israel and does not support Satan’s lie that its people are not real Jews.

Certik wrote that most Christians believe that in hell you will be tortured forever. As we all know, there are just two places we can go to and spend eternity. By choice, you can seek God and mature in His love — that is, to be more like Jesus and having a relationship by the help of the Holy Spirit.

However, if you do not want God, then you made the choice to go to hell.

God gave us a free choice. We are warned again and again about hell in the Bible. Jesus used Gehenna for hell because everyone knew that place.

Some claim having a vision of fire and smoke in hell. Another claims complete darkness. These are different aspects of an indescribable place.

Scriptures reveal that in hell are different areas for the severity of individuals’ sins and crimes against humanity. To burn in hell is easily translated. The people are burning

inside their souls and regretting.

“How could I ever have been so stupid and believe there was no creator, God, and accept Satan’s evolution?”

“Why didn’t I check the Bible?”

“Why did I procrastinate and say I would wait until I was old?” Nobody laughs in hell about the wisecrack, “Oh, I don’t mind going to hell. All my friends are there.”

Why is hell so bad? Because without God it becomes a desolate, dry desert —no birds, no animals, no trees or vegetation, no serene lakes or slow-moving rivers. In this hopeless state, the people are in continued wailing. They do not need food, and they do not need nor can they sleep.

There is not one second of relief.

They are not even able to take their own lives.

As a Christian, I have to and do sincerely apologize for the harsh words I wrote against historian Paul Fussell in my last letter (“Historian’s comments shock reader”, Nov. 29 Advance). I always have honoured soldiers from the first and second world wars. His critique of John McCrae’s poem, In Flanders Fields, I took as character assassination, wrongly assuming that he could never have been a soldier in war. In my anger, I did what I accused him of.

Thanks to Dr. Lou Knafla, who informed us more about Fussell (“Critique of poem based on facts”, Jan. 10 Advance).

Poll misses time option To the Editor: We received our Regional District of Central Kootenay Area B newsletter a couple of weeks ago, and front and centre is the time change issue with Judy Gadicke espousing her favourite obsession. She seems to have nothing more important to look into at town hall than this monumental problem. We are solicited to fill out an opinion poll (http:// www.rdckareab.com/features/timechange.html) that purportedly is going to gauge the opinion of the Area B electors. What I find most offensive about this use of our tax dollars is that the answer to the poll is preordained by the nature of the question. We can either vote for “no change” or “daylight savings” (Cranbrook time). The choice totally left out is Pacific time. Let me explain why I think Pacific time should at least be given consideration in our representatives’ thinking.

Standard time is based on Greenwich mean time, which, in turn, is based on solar noon. In the winter, when Pacific standard time is in effect, at noon the sun is directly above Osoyoos, making that the centre of the time zone. Moving east of the centre gives us the edge of the zone, where the time should normally change if we were to go only by latitude, without any consideration for the topography or natural land divisions such as the Rockies. The edge of the Pacific Zone in this case would be approximately Lethbridge. So we here in Creston are closer to the centre of the Pacific time zone than the eastern edge. And more practically, any direction we go from here except east enjoys Pacific time.

The ferries run on Pacific time. Idaho is on Pacific time. And if we have any business with the B.C. government or officialdom, either on the coast or even in Nelson, the administrative centre of the RDCK, they are all on Pacific time.

ATTENTION SENIORS!

Advertorial

The perfect retirement lifestyle Seniors want it all: a comfortable home, independence to follow their own schedule and maintain their own interests, safety and security, delicious food and the company of others. And who can blame them? Not long ago, seniors had limited housing options, and few met all of their needs. But in the fall of 2005 Crest View Village opened its doors and a new style of seniors housing opened in Creston, providing today’s seniors the opportunity to experience retirement living at its best.

Crest View Village is a well-crafted seniors’ community boasting 74 beautiful suites ranging from studios to one and two bedroom layouts.

These maintenance-free living suites incorporate supportive features to promote independence and 24-hour emergency monitoring service for added peace of mind.

Kitchens include a fridge and stove and each suite is equipped with its own personal heat and air conditioning controls. Beyond the suite is access to a variety of common areas which include a games room, spa room, library, dining room, coffee room, crafts room, hair salon and lounges.

All areas are easily accessible, full of interesting people, engaging activities and share a wonderful sense of community.

Hospitality services at Crest View Village are included in the

affordable monthly rent and include weekly housekeeping, a wide selection of recreational and social activities, 24 hour emergency monitoring, shuttle bus service, and hot, delicious meals prepared by on-site chefs. And each meal is served by cheerful wait staff in a central dining room, with a cozy fireplace where guests and families are always welcome.

In addition to the hospitality services, residents can enjoy peace of mind knowing they don’t have to worry about extra bills because all utilities including water, sewer, heat, air conditioning and cable are also included.

What’s more, Crest View Village’s convenient location enables seniors to easily maintain their relationships with friends and family. And at Crest View Village pets are a big part of the family. In this pet friendly building residents are encouraged to bring their pets with them to live.

Free from the responsibilities of home-ownership, seniors at Crest View Village can enjoy the many other activities and joys that life offers. We’re fortunate to live in a time when retirement living options provide everything seniors want – and more! Crest View Village is open daily; and you can call (250) 428-9986 for more information or to book a tour.

Benefits of regular exercise

OK, we have been at this for a year now — is it really making any difference? By “this”, I mean Heather and I each bought ourselves an adult pass year membership a year ago and made the commitment to swim-

the best deal but it depends entirely on how often you use it — the more times you visit, the less per time it costs you. A year pass for both of us totalled just over $800 before tax and we had a total of 447 visits (again between the two of us). That boils down to each use cost us $1.80 ($2.01 with tax), which interestingly is about the same price as the cup Neil Ostafichuk of coffee we have after working out ming three times a week at thus driving the need to exercise about 5:30 am Monday, to purge our bodies of caffeine Wednesday and Friday just (a.k.a. the hamster wheel effect). before work, as well as working We are also not what we would out in the gym after work on the call high users — there are peosame days.

I don’t know how to evaluate the fact that you physically feel better and instinctively know the machine is purring along a bit smoother as it is designed to do. I intuitively know that after a year of exercising, beneath that layer of overindulgence in nachos, cheese and beverages around my waist, there lies hidden the abdominal six-pack so prevalent in advertisements for blue jeans.

So, tell me this: What do you spend on the maintenance of your vehicle per year? I would imagine you change the oil a few times, maybe filters and plugs once in a while, swap out the tires as required, wash or wax if you are really energetic — stuff like that. Why wouldn’t you put the same investment or more into yourself? We are the human machine, and a pretty miraculous one at that, one that takes way more abuse than we would ever put our vehicles through, yet it has the ability to bounce back from all our smoking, drinking, poor eating, miscellaneous destructive behavior and keep ticking. If swim and gym is not your thing, you can still have an effective exercise and nutrition routine that doesn’t cost any extra yet just might get you that extra mileage — and most of us are always looking for better mileage.

And there is countless and ongoing collaboration with key stakeholders: the Town of Creston, Regional District of Central Kootenay areas B and C, Kootenay Employment Services, the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area, College of the Rockies, Columbia Basin Trust and Tourism BC. And we need to collaborate with you!

We are looking for people that are genuinely proud of our valley and eager to promote the uniqueness of our region. We need persons to act as greeters at the Visitor Centre, share their knowledge of the area and generally help us help visitors so they stay here and play here. It is not a huge time commitment.

It can be as little as a few hours as needed (at special events or during busy tourist times) or as much as a shift every week.

Valentine Bonspiel celebrates 50 years

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

This weekend marks a milestone for the Creston Curling Centre: the 50th anniversary of the Valentine Bonspiel.

About three dozen teams, including one from as far away as Grande Prairie, Alta., are expected to compete in this year’s event, which has been a success since it started in 1963.

“We’re really good hosts,” said Bev Pommier, who started curling in Grade 7. “We do a lot of extra things so they have a lot of fun here.”

One popular part of the women’s bonspiel is the costume party and contest on Friday night, which has been going since the early 1980s.

“There would be the odd team of ladies that would dress up,” Pommier said. “So we decided to do that.”

Each year’s contest has a different theme — past themes have included “Down on the Farm”, “Under the Big Top” and “Letters of the Alphabet” — and this year’s is “It Happened in ’63”, which, as always, the organizers expect to encourage creativity.

“That leaves it wide open,” Pommier said.

Friday night will also feature a welcome reception sponsored by Shelley Voight and Creston Valley Realty, as well as live music by Bred for Noise.

On Saturday afternoon, curlers can enjoy karaoke, as well as an alumni tea from 1-3 p.m.

Those will be followed by a draw to button (sponsored by Dr. Rob Armstrong) at 5:30,

hosted by Donna Salvador, who won the B event in 1963.

That first year, 22 teams from the east and west Kootenays took part, and that number climbed as high as 54 in the 1980s, which kept curlers on the ice nearly around the clock.

“When you have 54 teams, you curl every two hours,” Pommier said.

When the finalists head out to play on Sunday afternoon, they will enjoy a bit of pomp as they are led onto the ice by piper Anthony Biccum.

“It’s such a nice experience,” said Joy. The bonspiel has always remained popular, and has run consecutively since its inception, at least when ice has been available — the curling centre’s records skip from the sixth in 1968 to 10th in 1973, indicating that one was likely missed when the civic centre burned

The rink of Fanny Gallinger, Flossie Cross, Flora Martin and Fern Simpson won both the B event and funniest costume award in 1983.

down in November 1968.

Pommier has been competing in the Valentine Bonspiel since the 1970s, and has won the A, B, C and D events. When she started curling, she said it took about three years to learn the sport well, and then she played on a competitive team.

“We got to travel around and go to competitions,” she said. “I got to be a real rink rat.”

Marlys Joy has been curling for about 20 years — her children and grandchildren also play — and has won the bonspiel’s D event and placed second in the A event. But the chance to win a trophy is a small part of the sport’s appeal.

“Besides being competitive, it’s very social,” she said. “If you’re new to the valley, you join the curling club to meet people. …

“All it is is fun. You just get out there and don’t worry about a thing.”

“Down on the Farm” was the theme of the costume contest at the 2004 Valentine Bonspiel.

Hamm, Jessie, Woody and Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story were among the participants in the 2012 Valentine Bonspiel, which had a Disney-themed costume contest.

The Creston team of skip M. Werner, third Mabel Smith, second D. Langston and lead L. McKenzie won the A event in the first Valentine Bonspiel in 1963.

Duo Rendezvous offering romantic music CRESTON CONCERT SOCIETY

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, you may find yourself at a loss of what to do with your someone special. Luckily, the Creston Concert Society can help you out (OK, a few days early) with a romantic evening of music featuring Duo Rendezvous: Café Paris on Feb. 9.

Already in great demand across the country, thanks to the thriving solo careers of the two performers, violinist Jasper Wood and guitarist Daniel Bolshoy, Duo Rendezvous formed as a response to the demand for a refreshing and passionate chamber ensemble. These charismatic virtuosi enjoy engaging their audiences with humor and passionate musicianship.

Their unique programming enriches the existing guitar and violin repertoire with transcriptions of masterpieces from around the world and newly commissioned pieces by leading Canadian composers.

Wood was born in Moncton, N.B., into a musical family of six brothers and sisters, made his first public appearance at the age of five and has since established himself as a major talent of his generation, capturing the hearts of music lovers everywhere with his “thrilling virtuosity” (the Strad) and his “sweet tunefulness edged in melancholy” (Washington Post). He holds a master ’s degree in music from the Cleveland Institute of Music and in 1996 embarked on his international solo career.

Jasper Wood (left) and Daniel Bolshoy are Duo Rendezvous, playing in Creston on Feb. 9.

An acclaimed competition winner, Wood has developed a flourishing reputation as a sought-after soloist with major orchestras, including Canada’s Montreal and Toronto symphonies and as a recital/chamber musician throughout North America and Europe. He has been awarded both the coveted Sylva Gelber Prize (1996) and the prestigious Virginia Parker Award (2004) from the Canada

Council for the Arts. Wood has eight solo and violin/piano CDs and is currently professor of violin at the University of British Columbia.

Having performed hundreds of concerts internationally, Bolshoy is internationally recognized as “Canada's reigning master of the guitar”. He is regularly praised for his friendly and informative spoken introductions, and progressive programming of

solo and chamber music. A true ambassador of the arts, Bolshoy’s performances take him from the most prestigious stages, on which he makes frequent appearances, to intimate concerts at remote and small communities where audiences are captivated by his skill, charm and uniquely communicative stage presence.

He is regularly invited to appear in recital and concerti with orchestras and concert societies

across Canada, the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. As a recording artist, Bolshoy appears on seven CD recordings, including his most recent featuring the solo guitar works of Eduardo Sainz de la Maza, as well as two documentary films.

A devoted music educator, Daniel Bolshoy is currently the head of the guitar division at the University of British Columbia and head of the guitar department at Vancouver Symphony Orchestra’s newly created VSO School of Music, where he shares his passion for music with the next generation of guitar enthusiasts and tomorrow’s guitar heroes.

Together, as Duo Rendezvous, Wood and Bolshoy will present Café Paris, a program defined by passion for performance and love of virtuosic and intimate music from the turn of the last century, from the brothels of Buenos Aires to the cafés of Paris, mixing Debussy and Ravel with Piazzolla, Django Rhinehardt and Sarasate, music that comes from everywhere and goes directly into the heart.

Duo Rendezvous’s entertaining and dazzling virtuosity make this a concert not to be missed on at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 9 at the Prince Charles Theatre. Tickets are $22 for adults, and $10 for students in advance at Black Bear Books, or $25 and $12 at the door. For more information, email info@ crestonconcertsociety.ca or visit the Creston Concert Society’s Facebook page to keep up-todate on upcoming shows and music news.

Bruce Paterson art will be on Bird Fest poster CRESTON VALLEY BIRD FEST

Since the early days of the Audubon, art and birds have enjoyed a natural relationship. Organizers of the Creston Valley Bird Fest extend their congratulations to Bruce Paterson, who won the contest to have his artwork used on the festival’s program, posters throughout the Kootenays and advertising.

On May 10 and 11, the Creston Valley Bird Fest will treat novice and experienced birdwatchers to a celebration of birds. Learn more about the 300 species of birds that nest or migrate through our valley from the tiny calliope hummingbird to the tundra swan with a two-metre wingspan.

Keynote speaker Brian Keating will conclude the festival with an audio-visual journey exploring the wildlife of the Andes, India and the Himalayas, as well as our own Rocky Mountains.

His presentation, “Going High: Two Spirit-lifting Journeys”, is designed to inspire and offer hope for a better tomorrow.

The Creston Valley Bird Fest committee would like to thank Paterson and the artists

who contributed to the festival art piece competition: Marion Evans, Bea Von Allmen, Grace Tylor, Pat Yarema, Crystal Schmidt, Kim Cook, Eleanor Van De Bogart, Carolyn Stone, Karen Arrowsmith, Marjorie MacLeod and Arleane McDonald.

It is hoped that the Creston Valley Bird Fest will grow into an annual event accompanied by a new art selection each year. The public will have an opportunity to purchase Paterson’s festival art piece on the May 10 opening night art/photography show and sale. This gala event will be followed by an after-dark owl prowl at the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area. For more information about the art show, contact Lori Wikdahl.

This art purchase was made possible by a donation to Wildsight. Those wishing to make tax-deductible donations, please contact www. wildsight.ca and specify Creston Valley Bird Fest or send to: 2-495 Wallinger Ave. Kimberley, BC, V1A 1Z6.

Aspiring Bird Fest volunteers are welcome to call Tanna Patterson at 250-428-5246. For information about the Creston Valley Bird Fest, visit www.crestonvalleybirds.ca.

Matches and lighters are tools for grownups, and not toys to be played with. Reinforce the concept that like power tools or a knife, the match is a tool with specific uses, such as lighting a stove or a candle or campfire.

Cooling the burned area will lessen the severity of the injury if the procedure is performed immediately following the burn incident.

Flush with cool water for 10 to 15 minutes.

When using water taps, turn COLD water on first. Then add HOT water and adjust the temperature. Reverse the order when turning water off: HOT water first, then the COLD water.

Always test young children’s bath and sink water before using. When bathing children, never leave them unattended as they may turn on the hot water or slip in your absence.

Be very careful when drinking HOT liquids, especially around children. At 60° C (140° F) it takes less than five seconds to get a third degree (full thickness) burn. Children and older adults, by virtue of their thinner skin, sustain severe burns at lower temperatures and in less time than an adult.

NEVER use ice, ointments or butter.

If burn is severe, call 9-1-1

Discuss GOOD FIRES and BAD FIRES and how matches and lighters are to be used in a responsible manner.

Discuss the importance of keeping all matches and lighters stored high out of the reach of young children. It reduces the temptation to experiment with fire. If need be, lock up matches and lighters.

Discuss strategies for children on how they can get out of situations that involve fire setting and peer pressure. Define issues such as arson and the law, children taking responsibility for fire setting actions, paying restitution and making good choices.

Booms Booms returning Rum. This album, along with their strong live performance and incredible stage presence, earned the sextet a spot in the 2011 Peak Performance Project, BC’s most prestigious contest for emerging musicians. They went on to win second place and picked up a cash prize of $75,000.

Since then, the Boom Booms have wrapped up a successful tour of Brazil, which included sold out performances in both Rio de Janeiro and Manaus, playing for one thousand people in the heart of the Amazon.

While on tour, the band fell in love with the Brazilian culture, music and people. They created a series of videos to raise awareness for the Belo Monte Dam in the Amazon rainforest, which is destroying and displacing a huge number of locals and

SUBMITTED

The Boom Booms are a Vancouver-based six-piece rock-pop band that will play for a fourth time at the Snoring Sasquatch on Feb. 19.

Since their 2007 launch, the Boom Booms have built a loyal fanbase that stretches across generations. The video for their 2007 feel-good party anthem When the Night made it to No. 6 on the Much More Music countdown in 2008, and was optioned for an episode of 90210. Delivered, a surreal banjo ballad that conjures up images of a jungle river baptism, earned them the award for best roots song at the Just Plain Folks Music Awards, which are judged by the world’s largest independent music organization.

In 2011, The Boom Booms released their debut album, Hot

causing an ecological disaster.

The Boom Booms recently performed in front of thousands of fans at the 2012 TD Vancouver International Jazz Festival and took part in Sarah McLachlan’s Voices in the Park concert on Sept. 15.

“Watch for these guys because, as the good people of Brazil will happily confirm, they are onto something special,” said the Georgia Straight. “[Lead singer] Aaron [Nazrul]’s music combines the raw emotional intensity of Ben Harper and the cultural diversity of Manu Chao, with a sound that harkens back to old time folk and soul,” said CBC Radio 3.

The doors open at 6 p.m. and the show starts at 7. Tickets are $15 in advance at Kingfisher Used Books and Black Bear Books, or $18 at the door.

Celebrate BC’s first Family Day Monday Feb 11 Eat together n Family Day is the ideal time to bring your family ‘back to the table’. Given the increasingly busy schedule of every member of the family, eating together has been a casualty of our hectic days.

Whether you’re together in your home, on a minivacation or enjoying a local restaurant, there are numerous benefits to eating together.

Sharing a table means sharing your day, sharing your undivided attention and sharing conversation. It is a chance to give extra attention to your children and teens. Family meals foster warmth, security and love, as well as a sense of belonging.

The way that you act at the table becomes a model for your children. They learn from your appreciation of the meal and your social skills - especially when outside the home. Table manners are social skills and leading by example makes it easier for parents to teach without lecturing.

Using family meals as a way to sample new menus can be both fun and a great learning experience. By giving family members input and the opportunity to choose the menu, it becomes an ideal way to expand their horizons on a wider range of foods and cultures.

It also can lead to healthier choices as well as developing an open mind for experiencing new things.

A way to get more out of a family meal is to engage the family in menu selection, shopping and preparation. You can begin this at a very young age giving children age-appropriate tasks like stirring ingredients, washing vegetables, tearing lettuce and setting the table. As your children grow they can take on more key responsibilities and the pride that comes with preparing a special family meal. This teaches your children cooking skills, nutrition and appreciation for the effort of meal preparation. It can also provide a great source of accomplishment and sense of self-sufficiency.

Plan to make your Family Day special by including all those who make up your family. Pay tribute by making your meal special and so memorable you’ll want to ensure you do it more often.

Explore together n There is no better province to explore than British Columbia and no better family bonding experience than sharing the thrill of a new discovery or experience.

Day trips can create remarkable family memories. They offer a wonderful way to spend time together and learn more about where you live.

The variety of experiences available to families is different in each region of this spectacular province - you might decide to explore close to home or venture to one of the other regions in B.C. over the Family Day weekend.

Whether taking SkyTrain, BC Ferries, driving, or hopping a flight, there are many ways to invest in a day of discovery. Travel is just one aspect. To maximize the experience families should involve everyone in the planning.

By planning ahead you and your whole family can experience a worthwhile outing and make every aspect fun. Create a list of activities or venues and assign a rough budget for each. Allow family members to weigh in on their preferences and discuss what they would like to see, do or learn at each.

You might decide to stay in a hotel and be a tourist in your own hometown. Kids or youth can map out the sites and activities,

creating a family agenda including selecting the points of interest, lunch and shopping as well as enjoying the amenities your hotel might offer. It’s the perfect way to free up everyone from everyday tasks and roles.

Researching history, attractions, museums, parks and markets can teach valuable lessons and it helps children to plan within a budget. This way they are part of making important decisions, appreciate both the effort and cost of outings and will be more enthused about an agenda they helped develop.

Be sure to capture your family time by taking photos, saving literature or purchasing a memento. This can lead to great family discussions about what each individual enjoyed or learned and starts you planning for future family explorations.

Experience as a Family ■ Try something new this Family Day. It might be as simple as agreeing that everyone observe a no-technology or TV day.

If you find your gatherings often involve all the adults sitting around visiting while the youngsters play among themselves and the teens segregate away from both you and the little ones, you’re probably not alone.

A family gathering can be a wonderful opportunity for family to hear the latest on jobs, trips, hobbies and health, but if you find your gatherings following the same tedious patterns where one or two family members dominate with the same old stories, this is the year to change it up.

Consider adding new experiences to the plans, and making a new and fun tradition out of them. Here are some ideas to get started: Get out and enjoy our beautiful outdoors – no matter what your weather. If you live in a snowy region of B.C., organize a hayride, snowshoe trek, sledding time or ice skating at a community rink.

If you don’t have snow in your area, you can travel to find it or consider planning a bike ride, a hike or even hitting a minigolf course or a driving range. The idea is to bring everyone together in a family activity you’ve never done before.

Plan a meal away from the house – Instead of cooking for the gathering, plan a formal brunch or dinner at a new restaurant. Not only do you experience a new menu together but everyone in

your group can sit together and enjoy the meal. B.C. has a widely diverse cultural make up and ethnic restaurants are part of that.

Make your Family Day gathering a retreat for all – consider getting your family out of the house and turn your gathering into a festive retreat. Many venues have activities for all ages to enjoy, from winter outdoor fun to refreshing spa services. Think of how much fun it would be for your whole family group to take a yoga class together.

Host a family talent show – Everyone has a special talent in your family, so encourage them to bring their talent to your gathering. If you’re really ambitious set up an area to be used as a stage and arrange chairs for audience members.

Many living rooms have dimmer switches so play with lighting and lamps so the performance area is in the spotlight. You might want to rent a popcorn machine or ask family members to bring along some treats and snacks. By bringing new activities to your family gathering this year, you’ll be creating many new memories to share in the future, as well as making the event much more enjoyable.

FAMILY DAY 2013

Play together ■ There is nothing like the fun and innocence of childhood. Whether it’s a game of kick-the-can with the neighbourhood children or building a tree fort in the backyard, some of our best memories are playful.

Board games are a great indoor activity, and Family Day is a great time to dig out some of your old favourites like Monopoly and Clue, and maybe try out a few new ones that are geared towards family fun. Your local toy store will have a wide range of options, along with other family-friendly entertainment such as puzzles

and books. Set up a card table, get your favourite puzzle out and spend hours putting together the pieces. Finishing a complicated puzzle will also give your kids a sense of accomplishment.

If you’re looking for something a bit more high-tech, your game console or computer is a good place to start.

Video games have come a long way from the classic Super Mario and Donkey Kong, and you may discover that your kids have a much larger technical knowledge than you do. They might beat you at Wii Sports but it will make for a great story!

Getting outside for a game of tag or basketball will check off two things on your list: play and exercise. Taking a trip to a local playground or field will give you hours of entertainment for a low cost. Pack a picnic as well for an entire day of fun. Practicing your batting or pitching will also get you ready for the upcoming sports seasons, or maybe compete to see who can run the fastest to the swings.

This year, Family Day is a time to make memories, spend time together and maybe learn a thing or two.

Whatever the weather is like outside, you have plenty of options for having fun at all ages.

Louise Jane Choquette (nee Byrka) March 4, 1947 ~ January 7, 2013

Always

Louise was born March 4, 1947 in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba to Katherine (nee Kuriata) and Peter Byrka.

Shortly after her birth, the family moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba where Louise grew up and attended school.

In 1952, Louise became a "big sister", when Gail was born, and again, in 1959 when they were joined by sister Shirley.

In 1965 Louise graduated from Winnipeg's West Kildonan Collegiate Institute (WKCI) where, in 1962 she had met her future husband, Ron. She was 15. He was 18.

Although they "went steady" in high school, they were not destined to marry until 1996.

Following her graduation from WKCI, Louise attended the University of Manitoba, to obtain a teaching certiÀcate. She became a Permanent First-Class Teacher in November, 1968 and taught Primary One students.

March, 1971 saw the arrival of her nephew, Brent, Gail's son. Louise was now, ofÀcially, "Auntie Louise".

Just two years later, in March of 1973, Louise undertook a signiÀcant career change when she signed a contract with Air Canada to become a "Stewardess Trainee". In her rookie years, she Áew the "milk runs" (Toronto to Montreal, Toronto to Ottawa, all of the "quick turnaround" Áights) and, over time, transitioned into being able to Áy to more exotic destinations as her seniority developed.

Louise Áew out of Air Canada's Toronto (YY=) base for 17 years until she requested and received a transfer to Vancouver (YVR) in July of 1990. Louise had, by this point, been an "In-Charge Flight Attendant" for many years and was able to hold Áights to Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, Israel, India, the UK, etc. Long hauls, on wide bodied aircraft, to exciting destinations.

Travel suited her, as she loved to see anything new, to try new foods, to meet new people. Her love of nature, her fascination with other cultures and their Áora and fauna, her enchantment with unusual landscapes and all things beautiful, were boundless.

In September of 1992, Louise became a "Great Aunt" to Brett, her nephew Brent's son.

Louise and Ron had "reconnected" at Ron's niece's wedding in Winnipeg, in November of 1992. Ron relocated from Edmonton to Richmond in April of 1993 and asked Louise to marry him, quite frequently, thereafter. She was not ready for marriage, yet. Things obviously changed because one morning in November of 1995, after Louise had read the Li'l Abner "Sadie Hawkins Day" comic strip in the newspaper, she asked Ron, as she walked by the kitchen table, "So, wanna get married"". He, of course, happily, said, "Yes", and on April 16, 1996, the high school sweethearts were Ànally united in marriage, in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii.

Ron had two grown children who, upon their marriage, became Louise's stepson Robert, and her stepdaughter Lyn-Marie. Louise also, automatically, became a "Grandma" to Lyn-Marie's son Dylan and Dylan's sister Dana. In 2010, another grandson, Aiden, arrived and great-grandsons Luka in 2010 and Jack in 2011. All are relationships that she thought she'd never have.

Over the next 17 years, Louise and Ron travelled extensively, often with either set of parents and siblings, building memories throughout Canada, the USA, Asia and Europe.

In October of 2003, Louise took early retirement from Air Canada, after almost 31 years of Áying, and breathed a gentle sigh of relief. No more early mornings, no more in-Áight issues, no more requaliÀng, no more "walking inside of a metal tube all the way to wherever".

Another major shift in Louise's life occurred in September of 2004 when she became a "Country Wife" (her term) after she and Ron moved from Richmond, BC to an acreage, on the side of a mountain, about 13 km west of Creston, BC. Louise loved her home and her "park".

Louise took great pleasure in "playing" in her Áower beds, her vegetable garden, and her garden shed. Planting, weeding, harvesting, cutting the grass, transplanting, etc., was not work. It was Louise, what she wanted to do, and what she did, well. She loved to get her hands dirty and would work the soil without gloves.

For almost 20 years, the early portion of most mornings was spent sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of tea in hand, talking about whatever. Relaxed, comfortable and together.

Louise had pets for much of her adult life and loved each of them dearly. Buffy and MufÀn, Max and Mizkat. Two German Shepherds and two cats, each a comfort and close companion. At one point, Louise's mother, Kay, said, "If I come back after I die, I want to come back as one of Louise's pets. I'll have nothing to worry about".

Communication was another of Louise's passions. She could be standing in a lineup and, within minutes, she would know, and be conversing with, the people in front of, and behind her. Friendly, warm-hearted, congenial, words that are all understatements when applied to Louise. Her personality shone brightly.

On January 5th, 2013, Louise suffered an aneurism, while they were "wintering" in Lake Havasu City, A=. She succumbed to the aneurism's impact just before noon on January 7th, 2013. Ron was at her side holding her hand.

Even in death, Louise cared for others. She was, and had been for many years, an organ donor consenter. Louise "gave" throughout her life, and beyond.

"Celebration of Life" gatherings, for Louise, will be held in Creston, Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg and Toronto, in the spring (once roads allow safe travel). Details will be forthcoming and communicated to any who would like a chance to say goodbye to her and, perhaps, share some remembrance of a special person, who will be forever missed, but never forgotten.

Louise was predeceased by her parents Kay and Peter Byrka; sister Shirley Bale; niece Melodie Yeadon; Ron's parents Anne and Peter Choquette and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

Louise is survived by her husband Ron Choquette of Creston, her stepson Robert (Susan) Choquette of Steveston, BC, stepdaughter Lyn-Marie Choquette of Westbank, BC, sister Gail Byrka of Winnipeg, grandson Dylan (Kristin) Choquette of Westbank, granddaughter Dana Ruether of Westbank, grandson Aiden of Steveston, great-grandsons Luka and Jack of Westbank, nephew Brent Yeadon of Toronto, grandnephew Brett of Winnipeg, sisters and brothers-in-law, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, and their offspring, and many very close friends and colleagues, all of whom already miss her greatly. ,n lieu of Áowers or other tributes, donations towards the placement of a ReÁections bench, in Louise's memory, in Kildonan Park near her family home in north Winnipeg, and a place close to her heart will be appreciated. 'onations may be forwarded to the attention of: Connie Mulholland 31 Embassy Lane, Winnipeg, MB R2V 2W8 Please make cheques payable to Connie Mulholland, Re: Louise Choquette ReÁections Bench Ron may be reached at: rchoquette#westcreston.ca

Thunder Cats in last place Chiefs fourth in tourney

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

The Creston Valley Thunder Cats are two points behind the Eddie Mountain Division’s fourth-place Columbia Valley Rockies after losses on Friday and Jan. 29.

The Jan. 29 loss to the Kimberley Dynamiters came three days after a 5-4 overtime defeat of the Spokane Braves, but the energy wasn’t there.

“It wasn’t our best effort,” said head coach Josh Hepditch. “We’ve played better games but we still put ourselves in a position to win.”

The Dynamiters had scored one goal by the end of the first period, but the second period was scoreless Thunder Cats Andrew Hodder (power play) and Trevor Hanna scored at 6:41 and 6:17, respectively. Two Dynamiters goals followed before Angus Johnston scored a power-play goal to tie the game 3-3.

The Thunder Cats edged past the Dynamiters with a third-period goal by Marcel Fuchs, but a Dynamiters goal at 5:06 sent the game into overtime. Despite a power play in overtime, the Thunder Cats couldn’t capitalize, and the Dynamiters won 5-4.

On Friday, the Thunder Cats “played a really, really good game” against the Fernie Ghostriders, Hepditch said.

After the first period, a goal by Hanna had the Thunder Cats down by one, and they stayed that way after power-play goals by Matti Jmaeff and Matthew Murray in the second period. Hanna scored on a power play at 14:34 in the third period, but a Dynamiters goal nearly five minutes later became the game-winner.

The result could have been different; three Thunder Cats goals were called back, including one scored with seven seconds left in the game.

“We can’t seem to catch that break,” said Hepditch. “We’re running out of time to count on luck. If we get three called back, we’ve got to find a way to get the next one.”

He credited goalie Zach Straza for the Thunder Cats doing as well as they did; he blocked 47 Fernie shots in that game.

With 64 points, Fernie is well ahead of the Thunder Cats in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League standings, and just four ahead of the Golden Rockets. The Kimberley Dynamiters are more or less in the middle of the pack, with 51.

This weekend (following a Tuesday game against the Columba Valley Rockies after press time), the Thunder Cats play three games, hosting the Kelowna Chiefs on Friday, visiting the Rockets on Saturday and hosting the Ghostriders on Sunday.

Hepditch said his players need to have a playoff mentality for the Thunder Cats to make up the two points between them and the Rockies.

“We’ve got find a way to get those two points or we’re in trouble,” he said. “We’re getting pretty close to a do or die situation.”

Even with four games left in the season, a chance at the playoffs still isn’t out of the question.

“It’s not going to be an easy weekend, that’s for sure,” Hepditch said. “Those are three extremely tough opponents. With the mindset we have right now and confidence building against these teams, anything can happen. We’ve proved we can play with the top teams in the league.”

CRESTON VALLEY MINOR HOCKEY ASSOCIATION

The Creston Valley Minor Hockey Association’s peewee Chiefs had a rough go of it this past weekend in the Castlegar tournament. The top three teams besides Creston, Castlegar, Nelson and Whitehorse could be provincial attendees.

In a game against Vernon, the team had a good start, which led to a 5-0 lead after two periods.

Vernon would add two goals in the third. Chiefs were by Ty Gudjonson from Shayne Walker, Gudjonson from Kale Plotnikoff and Matthew Hills, Hills unassisted, Davis Nelson unassisted and Plotnikoff from Tyson Steed.

In their next game, the Chiefs lost too many oneon-one battles to Nelson; combined with a slow start, the Chiefs fell behind 2-0 before a late first period goal by Plotnikoff made it 2-1.

The Chiefs started to play a little better as the game went on, but had trouble scoring goals.

Nelson would add a goal

midway in the third period to round out the scoring.

Playing a young Missoula, Mont., team with not much experience on hitting hockey, the Chiefs took care of business and led from the getgo. The leading scorers were Gudjonson with two goals and two assists, Brayden Jellis with a goal and two assists and Logan Rast, also with two assists.

The Chiefs beat Missoula 7-1.

Games against Castlegar are always tough, close games, and the Chiefs lost 2-0 in the semifinal.

Two bad breaks in this game were the difference. In the first, Castlegar scored a goal on a pass across the crease that went off a Creston defenceman’s skate. Late in the second, a brutal line change by the forwards led to the second goal for the host.

The Chiefs had chances but couldn’t find the back of the net; against quality teams they struggle offensively. Making the simple play of getting the puck out of their end and being strong on their sticks led to the Chiefs

defending way too much in this game. The coaches said they have to learn to stay in their structure and trust that their teammates will get the job done.

In the third-place game, which they lost 5-0 to Nelson, the Chiefs were defending their zone and losing too many battles for the puck, which was not pretty to watch, and they got hammered in the first half.

They were tired, but thankfully have a goalie who kept them from losing by double digits. In the second half of the game, the Chiefs played Nelson to a 0-0 score — so when they put the effort in and work, they can compete with every team. It was a good learning tool for the team, and they also learn life lessons in such defeats.

Overall the Chiefs ended up in fourth where the coaches said they belong according to how they played. Whitehorse eventually beat Castlegar 9-8 in a shootout in the final. The Chiefs are playing zones this upcoming weekend against Cranbrook tier 3.

The Creston Valley Agricultural Society has hosted its annual Harvest Ball for several years, but a group of enthusiastic and inspiring women who were normally involved in the planning the event felt it was time for a change.

And a change it was with the formation of a new event called “Breaking New Ground”, an evening to create a networking event for the women of the Creston Valley.

The event and its organizers set an objective for its inaugural November event to raise awareness and create business, as well as social connections between farm businesswomen and city businesswomen. Not only was the desire to spread wings of collaboration, the group also felt it wanted the event to have a social conscience by setting a charitable cause, with proceeds from the evening going toward the purchase of ax 4.3125”

BC Arts and Culture Week, April 21-27, is a provincewide celebration of all things arts and culture that turns the spotlight on the vital contribution that they make in learning and in life. Hundreds of arts councils, communities and schools across the province will be joining the fun, presenting a dazzling range of events and activities from pop-up dance performances to art crawls, exhibitions, open mics and much more.

Music, film, media arts, dance, books, theatre and visual arts are part of our daily life, and have a lasting impact. They

improve us, challenge us and broaden our horizons and help us to become informed, aware and contributing members of society.

The Community Arts Council of Creston invites all to join in the celebration by participating in this year’s arts and culture events. The centrepiece of Creston’s Arts and Culture Week celebration will be an arts display, this year to be held at the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce. The exhibition and sale of artwork is open to all artists within the arts council’s mandate. Display space will be available for all artwork, pottery, jewelry and more. The arts council also anticipates that artists will be at work during the day, showcasing the medium

for their artistic talent. Artists interested in this call-for-entry or in volunteering to be an artist at work should contact the arts exhibition co-ordinator Andrea Revoy at 250-402-3795 or andrea.revoy@ gmail.com.

Besides the arts exhibition, many other events are in the early stages of planning.

A writing practice/poetry evening is already well into the planning stage. It is designed to bring out that hidden talent for words that so many people have but don’t seem to be able to release. It will be held at the Creston zendo on April 24, led

by Kuya Minogue.

The Valley Mudders under the leadership of Revoy are planning an event for

BUICK 2 13

April 22, which also happens to be Earth Day. A contemporary dance workshop, with instructor Simon Lazarchuk, is being planned for later in the week, as is an acting workshop. The committee is also organizing an event to take place in Crawford Bay, which comes into the mandated area of the Creston arts council.

An opening wine and cheese evening with entertainment is also planned as is a Taste of Creston event for the closing.

Anyone interested in organizing a cultural event or assisting others for Arts and Culture Week should contact arts council president and committee chair Simon Lazarchuk at 250-428-8852 or simon@crestonvalleybandb.com before Feb. 11.
