Doctors locked out of Osprey Medical Clinic

also a fundraiser for the Creston Community Auditorium Society’s latest project: new seats for the Prince Charles Theatre.

The society’s campaign kicked off in the fall, with the Creston and District Credit Union matching funds for the first 100 out of about 300 seats, which cost $250.

Patients with appointments at the Osprey Medical Clinic got a rude surprise when they got a phone call saying the clinic had closed. A notice on the door now reads: “Osprey Medical Clinic is now closed. If this is an emergency: Please go directly to the hospital or call 911.”

“We were unable to reach an agreement with the doctors that would make this a self-sustaining business,” said Ken Gadicke, a Creston accountant who owns Osprey Medical Clinic in partnership with his former accounting firm partner, Rick Minichiello.

“It is unfortunate that it has come to this but we couldn’t keep it going. We had no choice but to close it.”

Doctors say contracts breached From page 1 A message being distributed to patients by three physicians who worked out of the clinic at the Creston Valley Mall, Drs. Raphael Elemuo, Tara Guthrie and Susan Hopkins isn’t quite so diplomatic: “The owners of Osprey Medical Clinic breached our contracts in January of this year. In response to our request that they honour the terms of our contract, they have locked us out and closed the clinic without notice.

“We are currently working to find an interim solution that would allow us to serve our patients while we relocate. Should you have an urgent medical problem during this time, please attend the emergency department at the Creston Valley Hospital.

“As your physicians, we sincerely regret the inconvenience to you and appreciate your patience and understanding during this difficult time. We would like to assure you that we continue to be committed to our patients and will keep you informed as further information becomes available.”

“There was no notice,” Elemuo said when the three physicians met to speak with the Advance on Monday. “We didn’t even tell our patients.”

Elemuo immigrated from South Africa and started his practice in Osprey Medical Clinic on Oct. 3, 2011.

His contract with the clinic is for three years, he said. Hopkins and Guthrie said their contracts do not have end dates.

Guthrie said the clinic’s finances were brought up by Gadicke in a meeting with the doctors last March.

“Then we didn’t hear another thing until January,” when, the physicians said, their contracts were breached.

Under the terms of their contracts, doctors work for the clinic, which bills the health system for their services in return for 30 per cent of all billing generated within the clinic.

The 30 per cent is meant to fund the clinic’s staff, management, equipment and rent.

“When I was doing my research before relocating to Creston I found that the 30/70 split was a standard practice in most clinics,” Hopkins said.

Hopkins said that once the doctors believed the clinic had breached their contract they sought representation by a law firm.

Rezoning delayed for owner to meet with neighbours

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

(From left) Drs. Susan Hopkins, Raphael Elemuo and Tara Guthrie found themselves locked out of the Osprey Medical Clinic on Feb. 3.

“We knew things might not work out, but we expected at the very worst we would have a month’s notice to relocate,” she said.

On Friday afternoon, the clinic’s locks were changed. Guthrie, the only doctor working in the clinic at the time, was busy seeing patients and was unaware of the lock change when she left work that day.

“I don’t lock up and nobody told me,” she said. “I can’t even describe how I feel about getting zero notice that the clinic was closing. And now I feel terrible because I left another clinic to work at Osprey and my patients are being affected.”

While the doctors’ access to patient medical records had not been locked out on Monday morning, they said there was no certainty about what it would take to assure their access to the files in the near future.

“The files are electronic and there is no concern for their security,” Guthrie said. “But we need to find a way to continue to look after our patients. No one in the medical system seems to know what to do next as they haven’t seen this situation happen before.”

“This is an unusual situation,” Hopkins admitted. “We appreciate all the efforts that have been made by the [Creston Health Working Group] to recruit us to Creston and we know that everyone is trying to find a solution that is best for our patients.”

“We are shocked, completely taken aback,” Elemuo said.

Creston Mayor Ron Toyota said that the health working group and elected officials would not get involved with what has become a legal dispute.

“But we will work to ensure that patients are able to get the treatment they deserve from their doctors,” he said. “I know that temporary alternatives have been offered and that no one will rest until patients’ needs are being met.”

Regional District of Central Kootenay Area B director John Kettle, who also chairs the Kootenay East Regional Hospital District board, said on Monday that there is no role for the hospital district to play in the dispute.

“But a temporary premises in the hospital has been offered and I know that our health care system will cooperate in finding a solution that works for the patients,” he said.

An unusually crowded public gallery at the Jan. 28 regular town council meeting emptied quickly when a public hearing was recessed at the request of a zoning amendment applicant.

Jeffrey, Marcie and Jake Taylor, owners of a property at 418 Ninth Ave. S. that now has a duplex, have applied to rezone the property from R-1 (single family residential) to R-5 (multifamily residential). Approval of the application would allow for expansion of the existing building to create a fourplex.

Of the 40 neighbours who received notices about the proposal, nine expressed concerns about the development and others attended a meeting with the applicants to voice their opinions.

Concerns expressed by nearby residents, said Coun. Wesly Graham, who conducted the public hearing, included parking (the proposal includes six on-site parking spots), increased traffic, lowering of property values and obtrusive security lighting at the back of the existing building.

“The applicant has requested that this public hearing be recessed until the Feb. 11 council meeting,” advised Ross Beddoes He explained that it was the Taylors’ desire to meet with neighbours in an attempt to address their concerns before proceeding with the rezoning application.

By unanimous vote (Coun. Tanya Wall was absent), the public hearing was recessed.

Council Briefs •Marc Archambault made a presentation about the Creston Music and Media Society, explaining the purpose and goals of the organization.

•A Town of Creston travel bag will be donated to the Creston Valley Rod and Gun Club for its upcoming annual fundraiser.

•Mayor Ron Toyota was appointed as the town’s representative on the Creston and District Community Directed Funds committee, which will be charged with distributing Columbia Basin Trust funds for large community projects.

Untraceable 911 calls still coming to RCMP

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

What police thought last week was a simple answer about untraceable 911 calls hasn’t turned out to be as effective as they had hoped.

Creston RCMP received another eight calls from several different cell towers last week, all of which were from cellphones no longer connected to a service plan and therefore impossible to trace back to the caller.

“I guess we just keep trying,” Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan sighed on Monday.

Police Beat Creston RCMP responded to 62

calls for service from Jan. 27-Feb. 2, Gollan said.

January 27 •Police determined that a complaint from a customer banned from a business was a civil matter.

•A person who lost a soft-covered notebook on Canyon Street reported the loss to police in the hope that it will be found and turned into the police station.

•A well-being check on a Highway 3 resident indicated a male was OK. January 28 •A truck popped out of gear on Vancouver Street and rolled back into a fire hydrant.

•A child walking to school saw a cougar on 26th Avenue and ran home to report the sighting to her parents.

Box brings DVD, Blu-ray rental back to mall

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

When Creston’s only remaining video rental store, Video Express, closed last year, Shane Gilmour saw an opportunity to start his own rental service, Video Fix, housed in a big red box in Overwaitea Foods.

“I’ve been watching the machines for a few years,” said Gilmour, whose parents owned the video store before selling it 15 years ago. “When the video store closed down, I told my wife we should buy one.”

Committee to decide fate of environmental sustainability service GREG NESTEROFF Nelson Star An environmental service that some members of the Regional District of Central Kootenay want to withdraw from will survive intact for at least another year.

Following a staff presentation last week, chair John Kettle said the consensus was that the sustainability service be left alone for now.

However, he plans to name a four-member select committee to review it and recommend by September whether to "revamp, change, or punt."

The committee hasn't officially been established, but Kettle said he plans to ask directors from two municipalities that want out — New Denver's Ann Bunka and Nakusp's Karen Hamling — to sit on it with two directors who want to stay in — rural Castlegar's Andy Davidoff and rural Nelson's Ron Mickel.

While the committee mulls the issue, the service will draw no new taxation and its existing projects will be paid for out of reserves.

The service, established four years ago, was meant to deal with things like energy conserva-

tion and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

However, Nelson refused to join, and now several areas suggest the scope has grown beyond what was originally intended yet they receive little benefit.

In all six areas, including Salmo, Castlegar, and rural Creston, have served formal notice of withdrawal and Kettle said three or four others "are on the fence."

"That's why it's critical to look at this. If you add four more to the nay column, that probably kills the service. We might as well take one last chance at fixing it. If not, it will be what it will be."

Municipalities and electoral areas are required to give two years written notice to withdraw from a service, which also requires provincial approval. However, the service could also be effectively killed during budget discussions.

So he and his wife, Grace, bought the machine and installed it in Overwaitea on Christmas Eve. Currently the machine is stocked with about 150 movies, including current hits and a range of older films. All are on DVD, and Gilmour has started offering Blu-ray discs, as well, and is looking into games.

Video Fix is catching on slowly, he said. Some customers have commented that they feel intimidated by the machine, but the process is quite simple: Movies are selected on a touch screen, then customers swipe

their credit card to pay for the rental, which is due back the next day.

Video rentals are important locally, said Gilmour — while many people use Netflix and other services, Internet bandwidth limitations can make that difficult for others.

And while the box looks very similar to Redbox, which has 40,000 North American kiosks, Gilmour doesn’t have to worry about the larger company trying to cut into his business.

“They won’t come into small communities,” said Gilmour.

“They need large volume.”

PUBLIC NOTICE FOR THE RESIDENTS OF WEST CRESTON The West Creston Fire Protection Society has two announcements, the first in the role of Public Awareness and Education.

Perception is everything

What a difference 48 years makes. When the announcement came last week about folk singer Pete Seeger’s death at the age of 94, I thought about how well he had lived his life, and what an extraordinary run he enjoyed, being involved with so many of the important social and political issues for most of his time on Earth.

Then, on Sunday, I felt only anger upon learning that Philip Seymour Hoffman had died.

Hoffman was one of a very few actors whose movies I watch simply because they have a role.

Katherine Keener, John Cusack, Penelope Cruz and James Gandolfini come to mind.

My response to Hoffman’s death, of course, was purely selfish. But anger turned to sadness as I processed the circumstances. To die with a heroin needle in his arm was all the more pathetic knowing that he had been drug free for more than 20 years until a prescription medication helped his addiction regain a foothold a couple of years ago.

If a generation should ever have a hero, Pete Seeger would have served quite nicely for mine. As children we saw him on TV variety shows as a member of the Weavers and as a solo performer. But my real discovery of his work came when I ordered Pete Seeger’s Greatest Hits album from the Columbia Record Club when I was a teenager. On the cover is a photo of Seeger seated on a piano stool, guitar lying flat on his lap. Seeger wears a vest and he holds his glasses as though he has just removed them to look into the camera lens. A banjo lies on the floor beside him.

I played that album hundreds of times, and that particular version of We Shall Overcome still sends shivers down my spine. During the sing-along, Seeger says, “But the

Opponents were too kind, naive

OpiniOn Line

not in God’s name learn from what happened to us some six or seven years ago?

Frank Belavy West Creston

To the Editor: We, the opponents to the fire protection scheme in West Creston, have failed miserably because we were complacent, too kind and too naive, and expected kindness in return.

At the first moment the existence of the illegal sign was brought to our attention, we should have sounded alarm bells and shouted for a full mobilization of every able body. We should have “occupied” the two entrances to West Creston and to Mr. Binks’s house, and demanded immediate removal of the immoral sign, a prompt count of returned petitions and the discounting of any petitions signed Jan. 1 and after.

Sadly, in our ignorance and security of abysmal returns, we totally underestimated the will of the powerful and their determination to get this monster of a tax wrapped around our necks. In hindsight, we were to have a bonfire, fireworks, hot toddies and counting the signatures, and celebrating this ugly and repulsive trial behind us.

And while we, the gullible and naive denizens, waited for the triumphant announcement to be displayed, a devious scheme was being hatched and to this moment is vehemently denied.

Everybody swears he is innocent, all is well, justified and kosher, except the dead dog, spilled garbage and shredded relations. How tragic and pitiful in this so blessed corner!

So, if the righteous are so correct and justified, why is there no sign of victory? Why are the insurance companies not beating on our doors with refund cheques or at least offering the promised fabulous discounts? Can we

Fire service will be useless To the Editor: West Creston has seen a serious subversive effort in the past 10 years to slap us with yet another tax via an absolutely useless fire service.

First came the fancy idea of a $1 million fire hall. We exposed them, and they backed off. A freshly repainted carrot emerged, somewhat withered, but with the cost upped to $1.5 million, as if this world has never heard of it.

We sent them packing.

There was a forest fire a few years back. Those fake firefighters were sipping coffee on “standby” while some of our Good Samaritan firefighters extinguished it. The forest and properties were saved. Since then, those fake firefighters mock us.

The fire protection society got tax dollars for a metal garage. Snow destroyed it! They got their next pile of money. A tree fell on the building and the uninsured fire truck, destroying it once again.

Do you think they quit in shame?

No! A petition came door to door. It did not go well and was cancelled. A bigger propaganda gun was needed, this time an official one, running until Dec. 31. Several scaremongering fliers were sent out. They even got an article in the Advance.

The petition failed, but was that the end of the story? No! A hell-sent extension was provided.

www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca 7

By this time, the propaganda brigade was in overdrive. At last, Russian roulette might succeed. To hell with those who don’t want it, don’t need it or can’t afford it. We, the targeted victims, were simply shut out, bulldozed away. We didn’t get an Advance interview, never mind two.

Consider Creston Fire Rescue, with $2 million worth of equipment and 70 dedicated volunteers. Did they save any structure on fire 50-500 metres away? How will they help us with a truck sitting in the middle of nowhere, five or 10 kilometres away?

By the way, can’t the Creston fire chief and deputy be volunteers? That’s a savings of nearly $200,000 a year.

Do you really believe that fire insurance will be cheaper? Once the fire protection tax is in place, won’t new tricks emerge?

Rich people and opportunists, are we obligated to pay for your bells and whistles? Why don’t you buy a fire truck for yourselves from your hoarded millions?

Fires have been around long before those smarties appeared and will be around long after they’re gone. The propaganda brigade can run around, scare people that the sky is falling, scream that we cannot live without you and wring innocent necks all they want to.

And the cherry on the cake? Before you get there, your earthly harvest might come. Remember how you have been jumping to the high heavens when similar smarties of your kind wanted to make a water bottling plant in your backyard? What goes around, comes around.

The real reason for fire service: “We cannot let people have land for free. We must load land with taxes.”

Fear mongers do not give a damn about a fire “service. They only give you enough rope to hang yourselves.

No more knives sticking out of innocent backs!

Getting a mortgage pre-approval

If you are looking for a new home, be sure you are preapproved. With a mortgage preapproval, a licensed mortgage professional can do a more complete verification prior to sending you shopping for a home, and with that done, the dollar figure you are going shopping with is actually what you can spend.

The mortgage professional that you work with to get preapproved will let you know for certain what you can afford based on lender and insurer criteria, and what your payments on a specific mortgage will be.

Licensed mortgage professionals can lock in an interest rate for you for anywhere from 60-120 days while you shop for your perfect home. By locking in an interest rate, you are guaranteed to get a mortgage for at least that rate or better. If interest rates drop, your locked-

in rate will drop, as well. However, if the interest rates go up, your locked-in interest rate will not, ensuring you get the best rate throughout the mortgage pre-approval process.

of shorter or longer mortgage terms, the latest programs available and which mortgage products they believe will most likely meet your needs the best, plus they will review all of the other costs involved with purchasing a home.

Getting preapproved for a mortgage is something every potential homebuyer should do before going shopping for a new home. A preapproval will give you the confidence of knowing that financing is available, and it can put you in a very positive negotiation position against other home buyers who aren’t preapproved.

Motivation easy to find at community complex

I wanted to write a column about motivation but was having trouble getting around to starting it. So, seeing as the deadline was looming within hours, I resorted to entering the pit of meditation, the birthplace of philosophy, the cradle of intelligence — all otherwise known as the hot tub. I found a solitary patron who looked reasonably cognitive considering it was 6 a.m. and posed the question, “What motivates you to come here?” I had thought it would initially be centered on health benefits but the answer turned out to be, “It’s easy to come here.” The

soaker went on to say how there is lots of parking, the building is easy to enter and move around, lockers rooms are well laid out, there are three pools to choose from and it is warm.

The Japanese call this state ikigai, having a reason to get up in the morning or the belief that life is worth living.

Motivation is literally the desire to do things. It’s the difference between waking up before dawn to pound the pavement and lazing around the house all day. It’s the crucial element in setting and attaining goals — and you can influence your own levels of motivation and self-control. So figure out what you want, power through the pain period and start being who you want to be; whether it is an improved you through fitness and healthy eating, learning to play an instrument or learn another language, or making a difference in your community or someone’s life by providing your time and expertise.

Have you ever wondered what is offered in the adult upgrading program at the College of the Rockies’ (COTR) Creston campus?

Our adult basic education (ABE) program offers a variety of courses for adults who want to do any of the following things: complete high school

October or at other irregular times.

Why is the ABE program important?

Many ABE students complete entrance requirements for the health care assistant (HCA) program, carpentry, hairstylist, practical herbalist and other programs offered onsite here in Creston. One of our past students, who took ABE biology and math with us, completed the veterinarian technician program online and is now working at the vet clinic. Many other students completed Math 10 and English 10 to enter our HCA program and are now working at Swan Valley Lodge and Crest View Village as care aids.

It is awesome seeing our past ABE graduates out working in various jobs around Creston, too. They may not have specialized in one area, but they have an adult graduation diploma and found meaningful work.

Other high school graduates have completed just Biology 12 and/or Chemistry 11 here that they needed for entering nursing at COTR or other programs at different colleges or universities.

graduation with a BC adult graduation diploma, upgrade skills for work, improve high school marks or meet entrance requirements for college or university programs, or improve reading or writing skills for pleasure.

One of the best things about our program is how inexpensive our student fees are. For just $66.30, a student can

attend part-time for an entire term of 15 weeks. Also, the ABE student assistance program (ABESAP) can fully fund a student, if eligible, for up to three years of study. We have a friendly, adult-centered classroom with experienced instructors to support students with different learning needs. Our courses are offered self-paced, so students study in flexible, individualized timelines to suit their needs. Some students complete just the English 12 course they need to go on to college, whereas others can be with us for two years working through their entire adult graduation diploma courses.

We are open for a total of 27 hours of instruction per week, so we welcome students to come on in for help any day of the week. We are also available two evenings a week for students working during the daytime. Students can enroll in ABE at any time throughout the teaching year, too. This helps accommodate those students with jobs that end in

Government will continue to serve veterans

The recent news coverage of Veterans Affairs Canada office closures has created a lot of anger amongst Canadians. As MP Laurie Hawn, my colleague and a retired Air Force veteran put it, “The fact is, we are

As of March 2013, the estimated veteran population in Canada is: •Second World War: 91,400, with the average age of 89; •Korean War: 9,900, with the average age of 81; and •Canadian Forces veterans (regular forces and primary reserves): 594,300, with the average age of 56.

Of these numbers, Wilks 130,000 have a file with Veterans Affairs and of them only 7,500 have an assigned case manager. These are the veterans who need extra support.

So, let’s get to the heart of the matter. The nine Veterans Affairs Canada offices being closed are in Corner Brook, N.L., Charlottetown, P.E.I., Sydney, N.S., Windsor, Ont., Thunder Bay, Ont., Brandon, Man., Saskatoon, Sask., and Kelowna, B.C. An office in Prince George was closed earlier this month. In

caught in a love-hate relationship. People love to love soldiers, as they should, and a lot of people love to hate government. That is reality.”

However, when one removes the emotion and deals with the facts, I believe that it reveals that the majority of veterans, Canadian Forces members and reservists are provided with the best of care and programs that aid them both in and out of military life.

Education

From page 8 For example, a recent student picked up Chemistry 11 last term so she could apply for the kinesiology program at the University of BC in Kelowna. Many ABE students improve their quality of life by completing a BC adult graduation diploma at COTR. What does our program look like?

Our educational advisor, Gerry Gardiner, meets every one of our students. She helps determine at what level students should start.

Transcripts can help with placement but often an assessment is required if students have been out of school for a while. Next, students discuss their goals with their ABE instructor/advisor, who then places students into their courses appropriately.

Registered students enter classroom 112 to study such courses as math, English, biology, chemistry, education and career planning, psychology and college success. Our biology and chemistry students get hands-on laboratories to reinforce concepts studied in the coursework.

Most biology students really love our fetal pig dissections. They compare the anatomy of the pig parts to those found in our torso models. Our

every case, a full time VAC case worker who is fully familiar and trained in the business of helping veterans will be in the Service Canada office, which already exists in each of these communities and in some cases is right next door to the VAC office.

Further to that, there are over 600 Service Canada centres across Canada to meet the needs of veterans. In the Kootenays, Service Canada offices are in Cranbrook and Nelson.

As well as these centres, another great asset to all veterans is the Royal Canadian Legion with its 1,400 volunteer branch service officers and 25 command service officers. The Royal Canadian Legion is invaluable in ensuring veterans’ independence, by assisting in filling out forms for hearing loss pensions, glasses and prescription drugs, and helping spouses of veterans who have passed away.

Since 2006, our government has invested nearly $ 4.7 billion in new funding to enhance veteran benefits, programs and services. There are a number of

chemistry students work on determining the pH levels of various chemicals at home and in the lab, performing some reactions with the chemicals as well as putting together various molecules with our molecular kits. We have scheduled interactive virtual learning using the smart board for many science topics. Students will see the flow of blood through the heart pumping in action through the various chambers and the passage of food through the organs of the digestive system.

Who are the ABE instructors?

Paula Harper is a full-time instructor in the ABE classroom. She has bachelor and master’s degrees in science and her part-time colleague, Kim Asquith, has a bachelor’s degree in science and the professional development program for teaching. Both instructors truly believe in education and love what they do. They have 25 years of teaching experience, which really helps them make adult learners feel comfortable coming back to school. They are passionate about helping their adult students overcome any barrier to their learning so they can reach their goals.

Kerry Hobbs is the manager of the Creston campus of the College of the Rockies.

There are 17 operational stress injury clinics and 24 integrated personnel support centres near Canadian Forces bases and in major cities across Canada.

charter will include financial support for Veterans and their families, as well as programs that help injured and ill veterans to lead more healthy, rewarding and independent lives.

The Liberal and New Democratic parties and the Public Service Alliance of Canada fail to mention any of these facts. It is unfortunate that veterans have been used to advance their agenda.

As a father whose son is in the military and a retired member of the RCMP, I hold veterans very close to my heart and regardless of politics; I will do my utmost to ensure they are taken care of.

Wildsight presentations cover toads, agriculture WILDSIGHT

Why did the toad cross the road?

At 7 p.m. Feb. 11 at Rotacrest Hall, Angus Glass may tell us.

Glass is the communications coordinator for the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program and the organizer of Toadfest, an annual event occurring at Summit Lake Provincial Park, south of Nakusp.

The western toad is a species of special concern and breeds in this area. During Toadfest, the public enthusiastically collects toadlets

and carries them across Highway 6 in an effort to reduce mortality.

The Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program is a partnership between B.C. Hydro, the province of B.C., First Nations and local community groups.

Prior to Glass’s presentation, Laura Hannant and Nigel Francis, aspiring organic farmers, will give a short description of their role as the new co-ordinators for Young Agrarians in the Kootenay bioregion.

Following the presentation, the Creston Valley Branch of Wildsight

will host its annual general meeting. Admission is free if attending the AGM, or $8 at the door.

Continuing the Creston Valley branch of Wildsight’s spring presentation series, on March 1 a panel of Creston farmers and young agrarians

will discuss the challenges and opportunities of growing food for the local market.

This presentation is part of the all-branch annual general meeting of Wildsight. Members from the five branches — Kimberley, Cranbrook, Invermere, Elk Valley and

Golden — will convene in Creston to devise new programs and fine-tune the many ongoing programs to protect the environment and save wild spaces.

Admission is by donation.

Top Ten Romantic Gestures for Husbands

By Romance Author Susan Lohrer

As Valentine’s Day approaches, you might be feeling the stress of thinking up something romantic to do for your wife. Good news! The most romantic day of the year doesn’t have to be stressful (and although it may involve some serious effort on your part, the results will be worth it). Check out these ten sure-fire ways to show the woman you love just how much you care.

• You know that thing (the orchestra, a chick flick…) your wife loves but you hate? Surprise her with two tickets and go with her. Bonus points if you stay awake for the entire event. Quadruple bonus points and five extra lives if you don’t complain.

• Do a load of laundry (but never your wife’s delicates; and if you’re a laundry virgin, you should probably just stick with a load of your own clothes). There is nothing sexier than a man with a laundry basket on his hip.

• Write a love poem for your wife. It doesn’t matter whether it rhymes. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a good poet. What matters is that you’ve written a love poem for her. It will make her feel all warm and squishy toward you, I promise.

• Show your wife that you’re focused on just her by spending the entire day together—with your cell phone and hers turned off. After the electronics withdrawal symptoms start to fade, you’ll find yourselves making eye contact with each other and talking about your hopes and dreams. If any gesture is more romantic than doing laundry, devoting time and attention to your relationship must be it.

• If you have children, arrange for them to stay overnight with friends. Having the whole night to yourselves is such a special treat, your wife’s pupils will turn heart shaped. Or go even grander and book a romantic stay at a nicer hotel than you’d usually stay at. Champagne and a full-body massage (for her, given by you) wouldn’t be out of order.

• Learn how to cook a special meal from scratch. Set your table with a tablecloth and candles and serve your wife dinner while wearing your spiffiest clothes. Pull out her chair for her when she sits down. Here’s the romantic part: after the meal, pour your wife a nice glass of wine to sip while you clean up the dishes.

• If you live where it’s cold, tell your wife to relax for a few extra minutes in the morning while you brave the elements and scrape the frost off her car windows. It’s not cheating to use the defroster or the wipers and windshield washer fluid. The romantic point of it is that you’re doing something thoughtful for her.

• Think of all the special little mannerisms that you love about your wife. Write each of them on a note and hide the notes where she’ll find them (if you have kids, remember to keep the notes G-rated). Here’s a template for the notes: When you _____, I fall in love with you all over again.

• Light candles and play soft music in the bathroom and run a bubble bath for your wife. Get in there with her.

It’s OK if the logistics of that get awkward, just go with it.

• Give her a book of romantic coupons. Include the regular things like hugs and kisses, but don’t be afraid to get creative. For example: you know that thing your wife loves but you hate…

Valentine’s Day facts and superstitions Every February 14th people around the world exchange gifts, chocolates and romantic greetings for a day set aside for lovers.

Many traditions are followed, all in the name of St. Valentine. Still, people may not understand why such customs are upheld. Much of the history of Valentine’s Day and St. Valentine himself is shrouded in mystery, and much of what’s widely accepted is inaccurate. To set the record straight, here are some facts about the holiday.

• Valentine’s Day is believed to have originated from a celebration in Rome during the fifth century. This celebration paid tribute to St. Valentine, a Catholic priest.

Other historians surmise it was a way to “Christianize” the pagan holiday of Lupercalia, which was a fertility festival. Included in the traditions were boys and girls drawing names from a box and exchanging gifts.

• The Catholic Church acknowledges at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus.

• All of the stories surrounding St. Valentine -- whether they are disputed or not -- paint him as a sympathetic and heroic individual.

• Valentine’s Day greetings have been popular from the Middle

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Honda knows how to make a good, solid car—and for 2014—things just got a little more interesting.

Zack Spencer

Visit the 2014 Honda Civic gallery at DrivewayBC.ca

From rather ordinary to rather extraordinary Tampa, Florida – Being the best at something is an achievement, and doing it repeatedly is impressive.

The Honda Civic’s 16-year streak as the best selling passenger car in Canada is nothing short of astounding. For the introduction the 2014 Civic, Honda chose usually sunny and hot Tampa, to introduce their latest update. It was sunny but anything from hot, with overnight temperatures near freezing.

Honda has been improving the Civic continuously since the 7th generation model was introduced as a 2012 model. Last year, for 2013, they updated the styling, handling and interior of the 2013 model and now for 2014 they are at it again.

Looks The styling focus for 2014 is on the coupe. Roughly 15 per cent of all Civics are sold as a coupe, the most dominant player in the small coupe market. Last year, this sedan received updates to the front and rear styling to help make it look more upscale and sophisticated, and this year the coupe gets a similar update to the front and back, but the changes are meant to provide a sportier look with a bit more aggression.

The most aggressive version of both

addition, the front seats are very supportive and the steering wheel is low and small for a racy feel. What is new for both the sedan and this coupe is the introduction of Display Audio system that is available From fuel on the EX and Touring economy to reliability, models. This is a large iPad-like touch-screen resale value, cost design that lets the driver of ownership and access many functions Inside sportiness the 2014 from the radio to apps One of the reasons that Honda Civic is a good that piggyback off your the Civic is the best iPhone. (No Android apps selling car in Canada is choice yet but they are working the practical, yet sporty Zack Spencer on this.) This taps into the interior in both the sedan power of your phone, in and coupe. Many people, the big screen, with full including me, didn’t integration. I liked the speed and funcinitially like the split dash with the tion of the design but really missed a speedometer on the top and the tarotary dial to adjust the volume over a chometer on the bottom, but over time touch screen volume design. Yes, there this design has proven to be a winner. is a volume control on the steering I was wrong. The split design now wheel but one next to the radio would incorporates more information to see complete the package. without having to take your eyes off the road. The trip computer and other Drive functions like radio station information Honda has made one small change are just below the front window. In and one big change to help with fuel the sedan and coupe is the SI model that gets an even more forceful grille and front bumper design plus a rear spoiler and lower air diffuser. Wheel sizes have also changed with the regular coupe receiving 16-inch wheels, up from 15-inches, and the SI now bumps the size from 17-inches to 18-inches.

economy. The small one is the exhaust system has been adjusted in both the sedan and coupe to let the engine breath better, improving horsepower slightly from 140hp to 143hp. The big change is the introduction of an inhouse continuously variable transmission (CVT), replacing the old 5-speed automatic. This actually makes this little car more drivable and might be the best CVT on the market. The car snaps away from a stop and cruises with ease on the highway, with quick changes

Drives-U-Crazy One-eyes Cars and trucks with only one headlight shining drives many readers crazy.

It may not seem like a big deal to drive with a light out in the city...until you hit a fog bank.

And bear in mind that in pitch black conditions in ru-

ral areas a car with a light out looks like a motorcycle from a distance.

And that’s deadly. Drivers judge distance by subconsciously noting how the two beams of an oncoming car widen as it gets nearer. kmorgan@blackpress.ca

in the gear ratio that helps mimic a conventional automatic design.

In addition, there is a sport mode and paddle shifters on the steering wheel to help liven things up. Honda has done a first rate job here and their efforts have been rewarded with a six per cent improvement in city fuel economy and an overall drop from 6.2L/100km combined to 6.0L, something very hard to do with such a small car.

The driving dynamics of the Civic has always been very good due to a fully independent suspension and willing engine. The 143hp is a nice match for this car and the CVT is a great complement. The 5-speed manual is a blast to drive but it could use a 6th gear on the highway, as the high-revving engine can get noisy. The steering is crisp and the car overall instills a high level of confidence.

Verdict Honda admits that their Civic might not be the top choice in every reason to buy a compact car but they are near the top in all categories. From fuel economy to reliability, resale value, cost of ownership and sportiness this car is a good choice.

The many improvements made to the car over the past three-model-years, has taken the Civic from rather ordinary to rather extraordinary.

They know how to make a good, solid, reliable car and for 2014 things just a little bit more interesting.

Classic trucks in the movies and on TV

By Rob Sass

Vintage pickups and SUVs are among the hottest things in the collector car world.

Not surprisingly, they are also popular on the big and small screen. Here are five fine examples.

1. 1973 Ford F-250 (“The Blues Brothers”): After stiffing the proprietor of Bob’s Country Bunker on a huge bar tab, Jake and Elwood Blues take off in the Bluesmobile with “The Good Ole Boys” — the country and western act that they’d impersonated at said bar — in hot pursuit. Love the shot of two

of the angry musicians in costume glaring out of the front windows of the camper shell, just before the truck winds up on its side.

2. 1967 Ford Bronco (“Green Acres”): The much-loved CBS comedy featured a then-new red 1967 Ford Bronco as the official vehicle of scatter-brained county agent Hank Kimball, usually seen driven around Hooterville and the Douglas farm (minus doors and top). For most of its run, “Green Acres” was sponsored by the Ford Motor

Company, so the Bronco’s frequent appearances were no surprise.

3. 1972 Chevrolet C-10 (“Dazed and Confused”): The 1993 Richard Linklater high school cult classic that was set in the mid-1970s featured what appeared to be a 1972 Chevy C-10 pickup in Cheyenne trim. It was driven by paddle-wielding upper-classman Benny O’Donnell (played by Cole Hauser), who freshmen encountered at their peril.

4. 1999 Ford F-150 SVT Lightning (“The Fast and the Furious”): Lead actor Paul Walker drove this very special Ford pickup.

Produced by Ford’s Special Vehicles Team, the 1999 Lightning featured a supercharged 5.4-litre V-8 that produced 360 hp. It was used as a parts getter in the first of the Fast and Furious movies.

5. 1973 Ford F-100 (“The

Dukes of Hazzard”): Yeah, it’s a shock, there were pickup trucks featured in the “Dukes of Hazzard.” Uncle Jesse always seemed to have a semi-ratty white Ford pickup. Most of the time it was a ’73 F-100 but in early episodes, he could be seen with a 1968 Ford stepside pickup and in later ones, a late 1970s F-250.

Under this new structure, about 71 per cent of our customers pay the same or less than they would under the previous flat rate structure. Learn more at fortisbc.com/electricityrates.

Equal payment and other options We offer a variety of billing service options to meet your needs.

Understanding interim rates Each year we go through a rate setting process with the BC Utilities Commission.

Interim rates are set before the process is completed and can change. If they do, your bill can be credited and adjusted accordingly.

Hubert Ralph Goddard

April 7, 1930 ~ January 26, 2014

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Hubert Ralph Goddard at the Foothills Medical Centre, Calgary, Alberta.

Beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle and fatherin-law.

Ralph was born in Radway, AB. He had 9 brothers and 3 sisters. His family moved from the family farm in Thorhild, to Edmonton when he was eleven. He was encouraged by a principal to learn to Box, which he then turned into a profession! He had 54 bouts and only lost 2. He served in the Navy from 1949 to 1954 and then decided to join the Air Force, and served there from 1956-1983. He achieved the rank of Captain, which was quite a feat as he started out as a LAC. Ralph was a decorated veteran who served his country for 32 years which included two tours of action aboard the HMSC Cayuga in the Korean conÁict and a peace keeping mission in Yemen with the Air Force.

Ralph and wife Dawn retired to Creston in 1992. They enjoyed eight wonderful years on the lake and then moved into town in 2000. Once Dawn went into Swan Valley in 2008, Ralph became part of the Swan Valley family. He spent most of his days with Dawn, being a most dedicated husband. He said even though she could not remember him, he still remembered her.

Ralph was predeceased by his son, Garth.

He is survived by his wife Dawn, through 61 years of marriage; his two children Nuese (Don) and Tanis (Ken); his daughter-in-law, Sheila (Garth); his Àve grandchildren, Matthew, Evan, Nikayla, Carson and Jessey; four brothers, Norman, Neil, Wilbert and Conrad, and many nieces and nephews. He will be truly missed by all that knew him.

A Celebration of Life will be held in the summer in the Okanagan.

Donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in lieu of Áowers would be aSSreciated.

Cats secure Eddie Mountain Division’s top spot

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

The Creston Valley Thunder Cats reached one of their goals last week, securing the top spot in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Eddie Mountain Division.

That has encouraged them to set their sights higher — the top of the Kootenay Conference, which Eddie Mountain shares with the Neil Murdoch Division. Currently, the Nelson Leafs top that division and the Kamloops Storm lead the Doug Birks Division in the Okanagan/ Shuswap Conference with 73 points, five ahead of the Thunder Cats.

“The kids realize how close we are to catching the other teams in front of us, so they want to keep it going,” said head coach Josh Hepditch.

Regardless, the Thunder Cats’ record to this point rivals that of previous seasons. The team is two points shy of a record of 70, earned in 2008-2009, when they won the division title, and has already passed a record of 30 wins, set in 2008-2009 and matched in 20112012.

So far this season, the Thunder Cats have 34 wins, which include three from last week that raised their winning streak to 13 games.

On Jan. 28, the Thunder Cats visited the Beaver Valley Nitehawks for a game they won 7-3.

“Our guys were pretty well prepared going down there,” said Hepditch. “They were first place in their division at the time. We sort of conquered their challenge.”

The Thunder Cats played “extremely well” in the first period, which was tied 1-1 after a powerplay goal by Colby Livingstone.

The second period started with goals by Carson Cartwright and Connor Kidd, at 17:00 and 16:33, respectively.

“That was a big energy boost for us,” said Hepditch.

They added three more goals in the second period, scored by Brandon Formosa (power play), Trevor Hanna and Kidd, with the Nitehawks scoring one. Marcel Fuchs scored the Thunder Cats’ only goal in the third period, before the Nitehawks added their third.

On Jan. 30, the Thunder Cats visited the Fernie Ghostriders — currently in third place in the Eddie Mountain Division — and shut out their hosts 1-0, in what Hepditch called a “good all-around game by both teams.”

With regular goaltender Kyle Michalovsky called away to play in Salmon Arm, Brock Lefebvre was in net, blocking 25 Fernie shots. Kidd

Statement from Creston Doctors “Given the unanticipated closure of Osprey Medical Clinic, we wish to state our full and unequivocal support for our colleagues Drs Elemuo, Guthrie and Hopkins during this difficult time.

Although we are greatly disappointed at the sudden closure of this clinic, we are thankful that these physicians are dedicated to the care of their patients and will continue to fulfill their emergency department and inpatient hospital care responsibilities at Creston Valley Hospital, as well as those in extended care facilities. During this time of transition for our colleagues, there may be longer delays in the Emergency Department as their patients seek care.

We appreciate the patience and understanding of the community of Creston during this time.”

Dr C Campbell, Dr E Ewing, Dr R Grahn, Dr J Griffioen, Dr D Hoffmann, Dr N Kleinhans, Dr K le Roux, Dr F MacKay, Dr B Oberleitner, Dr A Persad, Dr K Persad, Dr T Troughton, Dr S Walker, Dr A Weaver

scored the only goal on a power play at 6:40 in the second period.

“It was really good to see that we can pull off those games, as well,” said Hepditch. “When you get into those tight games, that’s what you have to learn to win, because that’s what you expect in the playoffs.”

On Friday, the Thunder Cats hosted the Castlegar Rebels, earning an 8-3 win. The Rebels took 45 shots on Creston’s net, and Hepditch credited Lefebvre for keeping the Thunder Cats in the game.

Ethan Rusnack scored the first goal at 17:24 in the first period, with Livingstone, Formosa (power play) and Hanna (power play) adding goals for a 4-2 tally at the end of the period.

TO OUR PATIENTS

The owners of Osprey Medical Clinic breached our contracts in January of this year. In response to our request that they honour the terms of our contract, they have locked us out and closed the clinic without notice.

We are currently working to find an interim solution that would allow us to serve our patients while we relocate.

Should you have an urgent medical problem during this time, please attend the emergency department at the Creston Valley Hospital.

As your physicians, we sincerely regret the inconvenience to you and appreciate your patience and understanding during this difficult time. We would like to assure you that we continue to be committed to our patients and will keep you informed as further information becomes available.

Dr. Guthrie, Dr. Elemuo, Dr. Hopkins

Judokas earn gold medals in Fernie CRESTON JUDO CLUB

At the Fernie judo tournament held Jan. 25, nine competitors and two coaches represented the Creston Judo Club.

Kyle Qualtieri won a gold

medal in U-14 and the 11-yearold competitor also won a silver medal in U-16. Qualtieri also had the “throw” of the tournament where he threw a much older competitor for an ippon in the U-16 division.

Winning gold were Daniel Fabbro, Lawson Banbury, William Holm and Kaeden Rendek. Silver medals were presented to Cheyenne Albert and Joseph Albert. Bronze medals were presented to

National Burn Awareness Week February 2 - 8, 2014

Robert Holm and Levi Huber.

The club extends its appreciation to parents and coaches for supporting the competitors, as well as to Creston Valley residents for their continual support of the club.

From page 27 Formosa and Nicholas Thompson added two more in the second period, and Rusnack scored twice in the third period before the Rebels scored the game’s final goal.

“That was our first hat trick on home ice,” said Hepditch. “There were lots of hats on the ice.”

The Thunder Cats maintained their busy schedule this week, visiting the Kimberley Dynamiters last night and hosting them tomorrow.

With the games close together, the pair is a good playoff test.

“You get used to the other team and things usually start to heat up in the second game,” said Hepditch.

On Saturday, the Thunder Cats head to Fernie for a game that makes up for a postponement earlier in the season. With Fernie a point behind the second-place Dynamiters, the game is sure to be a tough one.

“They’re not going to give up those points easily, that's for sure,” said Hepditch.

On Sunday, the Spokane Braves will visit the Thunder Cats, who beat them 7-2 in a January game.

Although it will be the Thunder Cats’ fourth game in five days, being able to rotate four lines in each game has proven to be an asset, and Hepditch expects that will be no different this week.

“If we can use our depth in the first few games and keep everyone involved, hopefully we can save our energy as the week goes on,” he said.
