Couple grateful despite cancer diagnosis

Fibre optic network coming soon

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Corinne and Edmund Melendez-Duke are grateful for the life they have shared for 47 years. And they have no intention of letting Edmund’s battle with cancer overwhelm their gratitude.

Edmund tells his own story on page 3, but he and Corinne took time out recently to provide some context for their life before Edmund’s diagnosis.

“It came as such a shock — wow!”

Corinne said. “We’ve lived such a good, active life.”

“We were totally at peace, though, with whichever way it went,” Edmund added.

“We had no control over the situation.”

He speaks carefully, still learning to form his words clearly after a team of surgeons worked for eight hours to reconstruct his jaw, part of which was removed in an effort to rid his body of cancer. He walks with a slight limp, a reminder that bone and flesh were taken from his leg, providing the spare parts that were needed to replace pieces that were removed in the procedure.

See CANCER, page 3

After months of having to keep quiet about the news, Creston town council has finally been able to provide an explanation about the flurry of underground construction along streets recently.

“We were asked by Telus to keep quiet about it,” Mayor Ron Toyota said at Tuesday’s council meeting.

“Now we can say that Telus is installing a fibre optic network that will serve at least 90 per cent of town residences and businesses, and possibly spill over to some areas east and west of town.

“Fibre optics will allow Telus to provide television and much faster Internet service.”

“Soon, you could be enjoying access to Canada’s fastest growing TV service and Telus’ fastest Internet plan, giving you download speeds of up to 100 Mbps (megabits per second),” says the Telus website, fibre.telus.com/creston.

Resident faces down fears after cancer diagnosis

BY EDMUND MELENDEZ-DUKE

We raised our family in a small rural area with the premise that if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Maybe too many people use the health care system excessively, or when common sense would have sufficed. We thought, Eat right, stay active and all would be fine. Boy, was I wrong!

On Jan. 16, I went to the Creston Valley Hospital emergency room concerned about a growth on the inside of my mouth. The busy intern worked diligently and cheerfully, fitting in all the patients on an as-needed basis. Obviously, he saw my problem to be of a very serious nature. He used his smartphone to take pictures, then forwarded them to a specialist in Cranbrook, and came back saying he was required to take a biopsy immediately. In a few short hours, this intern was having my problem professionally assessed.

Unfortunately, on Jan. 31, the results came back — cancer. One of our local doctors phoned right away and had arranged for a rush appointment with the Cranbrook specialist for Feb. 1. This bright young man diagnosed instantly that the cancer had spread into my jawbone and possibly further.

Under the circumstances, if care was available, it would be required in Calgary. Being on the ball, he urgently requested at CT scan and blood work to be done ASAP, in Cranbrook’s East Kootenay Regional Hospital. Upon my arrival, I was notified that the bloodwork office was closed at this late hour. Who comes to the rescue?

One of the many volunteers.

Hearing my out-of-town story, he asked me to give him a few minutes. He went through back hallways, rang buzzers and knocked on doors, and soon came back, saying that a “Florence Nightingale” would sneak me through now. The CT scan was done, with results available by the end of the week.

On Feb. 10, I was in Calgary, with a CD copy of the CT scan in my possession. I waited to see two of the preeminent surgeons in the field at the Foothills Medical Centre and Richmond Road Diagnostic and Treatment Centre. Did I have a chance, or did the facts indicate terminal? My turn came, more tests

were performed and the CT scan findings were reviewed. Bottom line: The cancer had not spread excessively, and if my general health was as good as indicated and if the blood flow to my legs was adequate, a procedure was doable.

Subsequent tests over the next few days indicated that I was a suitable candidate.

My story started on Jan. 16 in the waiting room of the Creston ER, and about 40 days later I was in my hospital gown waiting for surgery in the Foothills Medical Centre (McCaig Tower). The admission desk attendant verified my wrist ID and asked me to take a seat against a wall. Someone then came and put a number on the wall behind me.

Ten minutes later, a nurse came over and introduced herself, followed by an anesthesiologist who had a few questions. The nurse returned and said they were ready. I entered the operating room and there were at least a dozen people in scrubs. I looked questioningly at my nurse, and she said there were three surgeons and the rest were nurses and technicians.

Over the next eight-plus hours they were going to do their all to give me back my best health possible. I was awed and stunned, but mostly humbled.

We all have read assorted stories of current conditions in our health care system. I can’t

comment. I can only tell my personal story. Could anything be more amazing or inspiring?

Some of you may say that the system can be improved.

That people aren’t perfect. And, of course, you are right. But it is these people, who through their actions make our care special.

Are all mechanics equally capable or all nurses equally talented? No, but in my 16 days in the hospital and my dealings with 100-plus caregivers I can admit to only one time that was less than ideal.

The situation was verified by my family and the problem, I now know, was me. I was

sleep-deprived and having a bad day. I apologize to anyone I may have offended.

To close, thank you to the hundreds of volunteers who give so much help and love to each visitor or patient they come in contact with.

Thank you to the nurses and caregivers who have precise and pressure-filled days. Their patients are often in discomfort, if not pain, and disoriented. Their words of support and care are treasured.

I am in awe of the doctors and surgeons who have crafted the talents of their profession into an art form. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Vilna (population: 260).

“We had never lived on a farm and I had never built anything,” Edmund admitted.

The family commuted from Edmonton on weekends and holidays to build a house, living in a small trailer on the property. When they made the move a permanent one, it was a very different life, just what they wanted.

“Corinne cooked on a wood stove for years and years,” he laughed.

“It was lovely,” Corinne insisted.

Soon, Edmund took a job at a local seed-cleaning plant. After Park Drive eight weeks,115 heThorncliffe was appointed Toronto Ontario M4H 1M1 manager. And then another opportunity presented itself.

Tel 416•696•2853 “The Vilna grocery store went up for sale,” Edmund said. Grocery stores in small prairie towns tend to fill demands for services and this

small business was no exception. The tin-ceilinged, circa 1920 building even held a bakery, deli and movie rental department. They bought it.

“The store took off like you wouldn’t believe,” Corinne said.

“It went like gangbusters,” Edmund agreed.

Business owners and farmers, the Melendez-Dukes found a way to balance family life with farm and business, and spent 32 happy years living in the house that Edmund built.

Wherever they looked, opportunities seemed to arise.

In their spare time they visited a racetrack.Docket: 23302 “Before we knew we were 247 -itJWT Client: owning Job racehorses that ran Ads in Name: Participation Edmonton and Calgary,” Lara Vanderheide Production Contact: Edmund laughed.

the 11 years we owned it,” he said.

Eventually, though, retirement beckoned.

“We decided to move to an easier, warmer location,” Corinne said. “We got to Creston on a trip from Lethbridge. Five thousand people — it was perfect for us.

You can walk everywhere. We just love it to death — and our family loves to visit us here.”

If Edmund’s optimism took a hit from post-surgery test results, it doesn’t show as he shares the news. Surgeons were optimistic that they had removed all the cancer, but turns out not to be the case. He now awaits a treatment schedule for radiation therapy, meaning many more weeks in and around Calgary’s Foothills Hospital, much more reliance on countless medical personnel, all of whom are about to experience his endless optimism and positive attitude.

From page 1 A large scar on his throat is the most overt evidence of Edmund’s remarkably quick odyssey, 40 days from diagnosis through major surgery. The gauze that covers a breathing passage lower on his throat is hardly noticeable.

Corinne and Edmund arrived in Creston less than three years ago, after spending most of their life together north of Edmonton.

Their story starts in Victoria, where they were married in the spring of 1967. Edmund was working for BF Goodrich, which operated vehicle service centres in Woolco (now Wal-Mart) stores. He had no previous retail experience, but he took to the job like a duck to water.

Soon he and Corinne, in the midst of starting a family, were on the move.

Transfers to Burnaby, Lethbridge, Edmonton and London, Ont., helped move Edmund up the corporate ladder. From his job as district manager in London he moved higher. The next stop was Toronto, where he became the head of personnel for the Canadian operations.

“But we had three boys by then, and I didn’t see enough of them. I needed a change of plan,” he said.

Soon the family was on the move again, back to Edmonton. There they decided to start a new life in the country. They purchased a 92-acre parcel northeast of Edmonton. It was 15 miles from the nearest village,

Book examines couples living apart

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

The idea of writing Living Apart Together came to Linda Breault when she was working in China with co-editor Dianne Gillespie.

“We started noticing the number of our colleagues who had left their partners at home,” she said. “Then I went to Egypt and found even more — partners coming back and forth, but not actually living together in the traditional sense.”

Living Apart Together tells the story of about two dozen such couples, most of them written by one of the partners, who have made lives together while living in separate residences. The reasons are many, but the common ground is that they are committed to making their relationships, and often marriages, work.

“There is no other book on this topic, just research papers,” she said, adding that the fact came as a surprise because such partnerships are increasingly common in a shrinking world where people often work far from their residence.

Breault, who describes herself as having “lived and loved as a single, married, divorced and single again woman,” is well qualified to comment on lifestyle choices. She has degrees from the B.C., Victoria and Simon Fraser universities and her professional background is in education, social work and community development. Since retiring “much too early” she has traveled the world to continue with her passion of supporting marginalized people in selfdevelopment and self-reliance.

Breault attended high school in Creston, where she later returned to live so she could be closer to her elderly parents. She partnered to write Living Apart Together with her friend, who taught secondary English in B.C. for 30 years.

“Dianne always wanted to write a book,” Breault said. “We naively thought we could just interview a bunch of people and it would be done.”

They put out feelers to friends and even advertised in publications across North America to find a selection of contributors for the proposed book. Many of the submissions came from writers, probably because they were comfortable

easy and it has never been easy but having more choices and having those choices be validated and understood gives us all just a bit more room for what we need or want to do for the relationships in our lives in all their glorious and wonderful complexity,” she wrote in a review of Living Apart Together.

In their collaboration, Breault and Gillespie have created something of a minor miracle. A book that has already been selected by universities as a reference in social work and other studies is also a very readable collection of personal stories, each providing fascinating insight into just how much work committed couples are willing to put into making their relationships fulfilling.

A book launch for Living Apart Together is scheduled for 7 p.m. May 1 at Black Bear Books.

It will feature an introduction by Armstrong and a song from Shirley Cameron and Bob Gollan, who will perform K.T. Oslin’s Live Close By, Visit Often, which includes the lyrics, “Live close by, visit often. That’ll work, that’ll work for me. Live close by, visit often. Save us both a lot of misery.”

“Others that we knew wanted nothing to do with having their stories told in public, even when they were promised anonymity,” she said.

The result, though, is a fascinating and invariably insightful collection of stories.

In recent weeks there has been a(nother) scramble by parents of Homelinks students, with the future of the Creston Education Centre and dramatic changes to the home-school support program in the air.

I would never have thought I would be citing Stockwell Day in support of an argument, but let’s start this with what he had to say in addressing the Association of Kootenay and Boundary Local Governments conference last week. Day, with his quarter-century of experience in provincial and federal governments, said that too often politicians fall into a pattern of reporting back to constituents on what the government is doing. They forget their reason for being is to communicate the wishes of their constituents back to the government.

“Have faith in the people in your constituency,” he told the crowd of mayors, councillors and regional directors. “We are there to see that their burden is decreased, not increased.”

He also had another observation that caught my attention.

Arguing that much of what goes on in government is driven by management, who have a vested interest in protecting their own jobs, Day said that elected representatives have an obligation to assess their recommendations and make decisions that are in the best interests of the public, and not the system.

In recent years I have begun, not without discomfort, to suspect that elected school boards have become pointless. They no longer have any power to tax, as they once did, and now operate entirely as a buffer between the provincial government and the general public. They oversee management, which allocates resources. With a huge proportion of their budgets needed to cover staff salaries and benefits (and no longer having much say in negotiated — or imposed — contracts) there isn’t much left for discretionary spending. Attend a school board meeting and you might be astonished at how much time is spent debating the wording of a policy or discussing minutiae brought forth by administration, the head of which has a depressing predilection for talking in “education speak”, tossing out phrases like “family of schools” as if they have any substantive meaning to others not in his inner circle. In the last board of school trustees meeting I attended, in two hours there was not a sin-

Back to Homelinks and the Creston Education Centre. Those

time, School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) has been “assessing” the program in the guise of questioning whether the CEC is the best place to deliver the program. Maybe Homelinks students might be better served in schools like Canyon-Lister Elementary School, the administration has postulated. Yes, and maybe they might be better served if they just started attending those schools Lorne Eckersley full-time, but that ain’t gonna happen.

ALR should Democratic return to NDP rights erased version Driver kills cat by Tories on purpose To the Editor: About 100 years ago, when I was a youth, my journalist father mentioned that newspapers had a 48-hour rule.

That meant you could not print a contradictory story less than 48 hours after the story being contradicted because it took that long for people to forget. I think Father was upset about something at the time.

When I was the director for Regional District of East Kootenay Area A, I resisted development in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). That’s not easy when there are nine mayors and only six rural directors on the board, most of whom thought hayfields and grazing lands are expendable. I don’t, and having grown a 2,000-square-foot organic garden in West Fernie for 24 years, I also know what vegetables are supposed to taste like.

Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett tells us the new Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) process will allow farmers to use a portion of their land in a way that helps them stay on the land.

Since it’s been more than 48 hours, perhaps Mr. Bennett has forgotten that his government created the existing model of six regions and six regional panels made up of appointees, some of whom he selected. Now he says it didn’t work out, but if they formalize it into law, establishing governance and accountability frameworks and service standards consistent with other government boards, agencies and commissions, as well as filling staff vacancies and appointing a CEO, it will work perfectly. Sounds to me like job creation for the “right kind” of people.

The ALC as originally created by the NDP consisted of four or five knowledgeable retired farmers. Their offices were in Burnaby. I made a presentation to them on behalf of a gentleman who owned a large piece of property adjacent to the Fernie Alpine Resort. They had no problem removing it from the ALR. It remained in the forest reserve.

When the Fernie Brewing Co. applied to start their business on a small ALR acreage on the west side of Hosmer, they included the proviso that if they were successful they would relocate to the Fernie commercial zone. I trusted them and recommended the board support their application. They succeeded and they relocated. In that same area, on a similar lot, a young couple applied to start a blacksmith business. We supported that application also. I understand they are doing all right. None of these three applications came from farmers needing to save their farm. Farmers usually applied to subdivide a couple of acres off for their retirement home. How could you say no?

The decisions made by the ALC created by the NDP worked to preserve the ALR and protect farmers because the commissioners were farmers and understood what would accomplish those objectives. Mr. Bennett’s version of the ALC consists of six regions and panels of politically appointed locals who may or may not know anything about farming but in any case will be hampered by the confines of the legislation he intends to pass and also by the complexity and cost of the ALC organization he is creating.

And that is notwithstanding the possibility of locals quietly making their own rules. I can see developers and legal challenges in the future.

Anyone can apply for a variance; that’s always been available and if it doesn’t impair agricultural capability,

the application should succeed. The ALC should be returned to the original NDP version. It worked, and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Peter Ross Lister

To the Editor: Last week, there occurred another example of the two sides of human nature. My neighbour’s beloved ginger cat was deliberately run over on Highway 3 in Erickson. A red car was seen deliberately swerving to hit it on the edge of the road! The kind and caring driver of the following car stopped and picked it up, then took it to the vet, but it was of no use.

The owner is known to the vet’s office, so they were told and were devastated. Accidents to free-roaming cats are often inevitable, and sad but manageable, but deliberate killing shakes one’s faith in the goodness of human nature.

If an apology were to come from the driver of that red car, our faith in the ability of people to change their nature would be restored. The family will always remember with appreciation the kindness and concern of the driver who tried to rescue an orange bundle of fur. Thank goodness there are more caring people in this valley than there are insensitive jerks!

Public should vote re: time To the Editor: (Re: “Public won’t vote on daylight time issue”, April 3) Unbelievable. “[Mayor Ron] Toyota met with opposition from [Regional District of Central Kootenay] Area A director Gary Jackman and Area B director John Kettle, neither of whom support a move to daylight time.” I would like to know how these two men are authorized to stonewall a pursuit for a referendum in this valley on daylight time.

And in the same article, “Kettle organized an online survey of his constituents, with the majority of respondents opposing a change.” How would Mr. Kettle’s “survey” stand up to the scrutiny of a statistician? How was his survey worded? How many people responded?

Two out of three respondents opposed is a strong two-thirds majority, but it also means that only one more person is opposed out of that sampling.

If we were to follow Mr. Kettle’s logic, we could dispense with the bother and expense of any election once the pre-election polls (surveys) are taken. Just place into office the person/party who has the majority at that point in time. Our situation is not in the same league as a civic election. I get that. But the principal holds true nonetheless. We are being denied our democratic right based on the whim, wishes and power of two directors. This so-called democracy in which we live and we should cherish so dearly is laughable when two men can so easily derail it.

Larry Binks, Area C director and supporter of a referendum on the issue, good for you! Now talk some sense into your colleagues so they are no longer permitted to decide what’s good for the rest of us. History is replete with examples of Big Brother(s) running the show, and that’s not a good thing, on principle alone.

Glen Whitehead Creston

To the Editor: (Open letter to Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks) Your party has milked their majority and now has embarked on a determined venture to strikingly erase democratic rights in Canada by: •creating omnibus bills so that there is inadequate time to properly examine them, not just by my representative in the Canadian House of Commons, but little time for me as a citizen to review them myself, so I can direct my representative as to my wishes. This is deliberate; •skipping over hard-won environmental concerns in favour of furthering the goals of Conservative campaign contributors, particularly those in the resource extraction industry; •engaging in international trade deals that threaten Canadian autonomy over our own resources and which I believe are worldwide in appearance so as to distract from the true purpose which is to cause Canada to eventually become the newest acquisition for the United States of America; •using the ruse of a “fairer” elections act to restrict the autonomy of Elections Canada and to make it more difficult for those voters who aren’t likely to vote Conservative in the next election; and •allowing for the implementation of two-tiered health care in our country while we are used as an example for our neighbours to the south as being a country with a national healthcare system available and readily accessible to all.

May I say, I am hoping you will respond to this letter in a personal manner because although, as you can see, I am not a Conservative, I feel I deserve consideration as a person.

ALR plans show gov’t behind times To the Editor: The proposed tinkering with the Agricultural Land Reserve confirms again how outdated and behind the times the B.C. government, like many other governments, is. There should be no question that every square metre of B.C. farmland should be fully protected. Only five per cent of B.C.’s land is for farming; only one per cent of that has the best soil with the highest capability of growing crops.

Governments think as far as the next election and not of protecting our sacred Earth and of the tremendous population increase. They don’t seem to care whether future generations have a livable planet to survive on or not. Instead of destroying this most important resource, fertile farmland, they should put their time in to helping farmers in any way possible. Food prices are going up and up, but those increases don’t reach the farmers. They could promote and find ways so B.C. farm production goes into our stores instead of being brought in from places thousands of kilometres away.

Precepts encourage ceasing from doing harm

To cease from harm means to refrain from harming oneself, other people, animals, plants, soil, the water and the air of our Earth. Imagine someone who says, “I don’t do harm.” It may be

true that he doesn’t pick fights and avoids hurting living beings whenever he can. Instead, his major pastime is sitting on the couch eating potato chips and watching horror movies and action films.

Farming

From page 7 We know that 38 per cent of B.C. farmers are over the age of 55, 50 per cent of farm sales average less than $10,000 annually and much of the farmland is leased or rented from other owners.

We all can support our farmers first of all by buying food grown in B.C. and as close as possible to consumption. After all, we are now into climate change and the less distance we transport food or anything else, the better it is. I believe that farmers would rather go on farming and keep their land in production and young farmers would stay on family farms if they could make a good living with a good income. We can stop working for the economy and let the economy work for our well-being.

Good changes are taking place right here in the Creston Valley and more and more nutritious food is produced and grown right here. For the sake of a cleaner planet, well-being and happiness, and an economy that works for us all, we can start right here. We can help and create a better, sustainable world by supporting our local farmers and fruit growers.

Yellow, white and blue burst into bloom

There is no particularly detectable aroma wafting from the first three showy, spring flowers to draw oohs and ahs from human voice boxes. But when those little flowers open up, sporting yellow, white and blue, the drab landscape of open slopes becomes alive with spots of colour. The rocky slopes have reached adequate temperatures for growth and bloom.

Out There Ed McMackin Several tiny white flowers, a very small chickweed and scale pod opened up earlier in the season, but they are easily missed. One nearly needs a magnifying glass to see them. Willow and hazelnut shrubs also bear flowers earlier in the season.

However, not likely to be missed on the south facing exposures are those brilliant yellow, white and blue flower “flags”, although hardly like flags as much as are the later blooming blue flags and yellow flags — that is, the flowers of the iris.

First, under the sheltering and warming backdrop of several ponderosa pines, appeared the bright yellow sagebrush buttercup. Greenish, round buds opened up into greenish and then yellow petals forming a saucer shape surrounding a round centre cluster of 30 or so little nutlike seeds, achenes. These potentially productive seeds begin to enlarge as soon as they are pollinated and, thus, the center of the flower becomes larger than it was initially. Ultimately, the petals leave the seed department and the seeds scatter when mature.

Interestingly, despite all those seeds, in subsequent

years, I don’t see groups of this groundhugging buttercup species colonizing nearby. The same numbers seem to appear in the same spots year after year.

The little white saucer-shaped flower of spring beauty is certainly a beauty. But note, it is not always white but may be varying shades pink right to a soft dark pink, where the characteristic pink veins blend into the background of the five petals. I haven’t found an explanation for this colour variation. Some suggest it may depend on the soil nutrients available.

The third showy spring flower that I often see is not as showy as far as

bright colours go, but its blue and ty and this dwarf mountain bluebell pinkish flowers, an uncommon combi- completely disappear.

P

rophecy is written to encourage the saints. Prophecy speaks of God’s coming kingdom and the tribulation preceding it. In the context of His coming kingdom and the trials that precede it, faith and resilience are needed.

We saw in a previous column that the Roman kingdom was different and divided into 10 kingdoms, and that the little horn power was followed by the judgment.

“I also asked about the ten kingdoms ... and the little kingdom that came up afterward and destroyed three of the other kingdoms. This was

the kingdom that seemed greater than the others and had human eyes and a mouth that was boasting arrogantly. As I watched, this kingdom was waging war against the holy people and was defeating them. ...

Then another king will arise, different from the other ten, who will subdue three of them. He will defy the Most High and wear down the holy people of the Most High. He will try to change times and laws, and they will be placed under his control for a time, times, and half a time. (Daniel 7:20-27) Obviously this “little kingdom” is a religious/political one.

From page 11 Now the same blooming sequence of sagebrush buttercup, spring beauty and the mountain bluebell does not occur on every south exposure.

Depending on the character of the slope and the soil type, the species and the blooming sequence can vary. On some slopes, the initial sequence might be yellow glacier lily, spring beauty and then, perhaps, purple ballhead waterleaf. Also, the presence of low

shrub cover may advance the blooming time of, say, yellow glacier lily by a “greenhouse” effect. The shrubby enclosures provide shelter from the wind thus retaining warmth and moisture, bringing flowers into earlier blooming.

When the bluebells reach peak blooming, it is possible to find yellow bells (yellow fritillary) and other later species beginning to bloom nearby. The six-inch yellow bells, a member of the lily family, support one or two rich orange-yellow blooms that, in bell fashion, hang downward.

Now, you may have already seen some of our early, showy spring flowers or may see them shortly; however if you have missed them, go by trail or road just a little higher up where spring comes a bit later, and you may get to see a second showing. And, if you are out of the area check out the south Okanagan for the spring blooming chocolate lily, another fritillary.

New Selkirk Valley choirs Resonance (men) and She Sings (women) are combining for a concert celebrating men and women on Friday and Sunday in Bonners Ferry, Idaho.

She Sings and Resonance are auditioned choirs with singers from Bonners Ferry; Troy, Mont., and Creston. Both choirs are directed by Vicki Blake Thompson and accompanied by Barb Nelson. This is the first public performance for both choirs.

“I absolutely love working with both of these groups,” said Blake Thompson. “The contrast in sound is both beautiful and powerful. Men and women bring such different qualities to their work. This concert celebrates those complementary contrasts in sound and theme.”

She Sings has 20 members. They will share works ranging from the old Irving Berlin favorite, Sisters, the African call for women to rise up, Msilale Wanawake, the familiar Turn Around in a lush new arrangement by Rene Clausen, the Renaissance work, Je le Vous Dirait, and the new contemporary work, Letters from a Girl to the World.

Resonance has 10 singers. They will share works including Billy Joel’s gorgeous Lullabye, Showdown, a rollicking competitive version of the hoedown, the Crosby, Stills and Nash tune, Find the Cost of Freedom, the gentle Nova Scotia folk song, Song of the Mira, a hilarious look at men’s choirs called Manly Men, the ’50s show tune Standing on the Corner, and the new work, Come Travel with Me, among others.

The two choirs combine for a staged choral satire, The Argument, and the powerful work from musical theatre, The Impossible Dream.

Obituaries

Obituaries Hilda E. Kilgren August 5, 1919 ~ April 12, 2014 Hilda Kilgren, of Creston, died peacefully on April 12, 2014, at the age of 94.

Hilda was born in Montana and raised from early childhood in the Estonian community near Stettler, Alberta. She trained in Edmonton for her career as a secretary and bookkeeper, then moved to Vancouver where she worked at the Vancouver Sun newspaper.

Hilda married Oscar Kilgren in Vancouver in November, 1944 and moved with him back to his family farm in Riverview, just outside of Creston. She and Oscar worked hard to establish their own acreage and farmed there for over 50 years, transforming the raw bush into the country home she loved. She also worked as a bookkeeper in several local businesses over the years and was very involved in the local community, helping to found her neighbourhood Riverview Ratepayers' Association. Hilda served as secretary/treasurer for the Lister Women's Institute for many years and was active in the Rockhounds, Serenity Group, and Crest View Auxiliary. Although Hilda had many, many health challenges throughout her life, she remained optimistic, mentally active, and very informed throughout. She was a genuine lifelong learner, even managing to master basic computer skills late in life.

Hilda loved the Lord and recognized the power of prayer, praying daily for her family and friends.

She was predeceased by her brother Elmer and her husband Oscar.

Hilda is survived by two daughters, Thea (Peter) McLennan, and Brenda (Vic) Schamehorn; two grandsons and one great-grandson.

A Memorial Service and Interment of Ashes at Forest Lawn Cemetery, Erickson, BC will be held in early May. Friends wishing to make a memorial contribution may do so to P.A.W.S., 2805 Lower Wynndel Rd., Creston, BC V0B 1G8 or to the Creston Valley Wildlife Centre, P.O. Box 640, Creston, BC V0B 1G0.

Though the “Emergency Scam� (or sometimes referred to as the “Grandparent Scam�) has been around for years, the RCMP-led Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre warns the public to be on alert after noting a marked increase in the number of complaints.

Ffraudsters contact potential victims while posing as a family member or friend in urgent need of cash.

Often the scenario involves an accident or arrest while travelling abroad, with a request that cash be sent through a money transfer company, such as Western Union or Money Gram.

In the typical scenario, a grandparent receives a phone call from a con-artist claiming to be one of their grandchildren. The caller goes on to say that they are in some kind of trouble, usually a car accident, returning from a foreign country, or even bail money and need money immediately.

Victims don't verify the story until after the money has been sent as the caller speciÂżcally asks that they do not want other relatives to know what has happened by asking “Can you please help me? I'm in jail (or in the hospital / or in some type oI Âżnancial need . %ut don't tell 'ad. +e would Nill me iI he Iound out please sent the money A6A3. I'm scared Wanting to help their grandchild, the victim sends money by a money transfer company such as Money Gram or Western Union.

Variations on the scam exist such as an old neighbor, a friend of the family etc. but predominantly the Emergency Scam is directed toward the grandparents.

Creston hosted the 4-H regional speech competition on March 2 at the Creston Baptist Church, which generously allowed the use of its hall as a venue.

Juniors Colby Holt (first, Cranbrook), Madison Adams (second, Cranbrook) and Taylor Tracey (third, Cranbrook), and seniors Rachel Hawke (first, Cranbrook), Ada Brown (second, Creston) and Jordan Thielen (third, Cranbrook) won the contest. These six members will be advancing to the provincial competition.

All of the participants spoke well on a great variety of topics, in a very close competition, which the Cranbrook district club members attended over very snowy roads.

Judges Shirley Conrad, Erin Harris, Heather Patenaude, Lorraine Doeleman, Tara Mehrer and Nadine Ben-Rabha generously offered up their time, and without them, speech day would not have been possible.

Feb. 16 marked a memorable day for the Creston Valley 4-H Clubs, when the horse, beef, dairy, sheep and poultry clubs presented their district speeches.

Twenty members stood up to give their speeches at the Creston Baptist Church, and six of them walked away with medals. Senior winners were Ada Brown (first), Alyssa Eastman (second) and Elizabeth Brown (third), and junior winners were Jessa Adams (first), Zoe Henderson (second) and Devon van der Merwe (third). We enjoyed speeches on Lego, the red-tailed hawk, combining, cats and more.

The regionals were also held at the Baptist church on March 2. The Creston 4-Hers did a great job. Congratulations to Ada Brown, who walked away with the silver medal in the senior division. Thank you to all the members and judges who participated in the district and the regional speeches.

I am with the Feathered Friends. We are a caring, friendship building, fun and character building club. We judge animals, do pubic speaking, learn to wash animals, get baby chicks and compete in the Creston Valley Fall Fair.

We have many elected officers in 4-H, including president, vice-president, treasurer, reporter and safety officer. I believe in my friends.

I know 4-H in Creston will go far, not only the club but the people in it. Next year we plan to continue improving.

I hope you will have the opportunity to join a 4-H Club. It is a great experience.

Documentary examines life of lip balm icon FRIENDS OF THE CINEMA

Burt Shavitz is all about rustic living. He spends his days in a 400-square-foot converted turkey coop in the backwoods of Maine. He doesn’t own a television and ever since his water heater broke years ago, heats water on a wood stove.

Now the accidental entrepreneur is getting the documentary treatment in Jody Shapiro’s film, Burt’s Buzz, which made its world premiere at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival, and which Creston’s Friends of the Cinema is showing April 28. The film traces Shavitz’s journey from wayward hippie new photographer in the 1960s to cofounder of a multimillion-dollar company to his current gig as brand ambassador for the company he was forced out of.

While many are aware of the story of Shavitz’s falling out with Burt’s Bees (and his wife), the film gives viewers a little glimpse into Shavitz’s famously eccentric personality. Here is the background: In 1984, Shavitz met

with a divorce, Quimby bought Shavitz out of his one-third stake in the company by buying him a $130,000 house in Maine. By 2000, Burt’s Bees was making a reported $23 million in revenue, and in 2007 Clorox bought the company for a reported $925 million — leaving Shavitz out of a huge payday.

Quimby did give him $4 million when she sold off 80 per cent of Burt’s Bees for $173 million. And the company still pays him an undisclosed amount to use his likeness and name. Esquire magazine reported that Burt’s Bees is now worth over $1 billion. Shavitz con-

hitchhiker Roxanne Quimby. The two soon became business partners and lovers, with Quimby’s knack for design helping the Burt’s Bees empire grow. They started making beeswax candles, then shoe polish, then lip balm.

By the 1990s, the company was raking in millions in revenue. But Quimby found out that Shavitz was having an affair with a college-aged girl, which he admits in the film.

tinues to be the brand ambassador for the company, but lives in the backwoods of Maine with no television or hot water.

In the documentary, Shavitz exposes the contrasts and ironies that pepper his life — including the collision between business and personal values — and delicately mines the humour and emotion of his story. The result is a thoughtfully layered portrait of this highly idiosyncratic pioneer, and a revealing study of what it means to be a living icon.

Burt’s Buzz runs at 7:30 p.m. April 28 at the Prince Charles Theatre.

Confessions of a Curber I surprised my family with a trip to Hawaii.

They didn’t have a clue how I paid for it. But they thought I was the best dad in the world.

While we were away, I bought a car on eBay. It had over 350,000 km on it. No one will want to buy this piece of junk, I thought.

Unless. I could just lower the mileage on it a little bit. And it won’t hurt anybody, right?

One problem – I had no idea how to change an odometer*. But as it turns out, it’s much easier than I’d expected.

With an odometer tool, I changed the reading to 164,500 km. Still a lot, but less than half the real clicks.

My ad: “Minivan – old but in great condition!

Only 164,500kms - it sat in my garage for the last 5 years. Must sell. If you’re looking for an older, but reliable and safe vehicle, call my cell and we’ll negotiate.”

Looking back, I realized I’d knocked almost 200,000 km off the vehicle. But I shined it up and put some newer used tires on it so they wouldn’t give away its true condition.

Will this get me in trouble? I wondered. I wasn’t doing anything wrong, really – this just gives me a chance to make some more money on the vehicle.

I got a phone call from a young single mom who could only afford an older vehicle. We decided to meet at her son’s school.

As I was showing her the car, I noticed the carpet, the door handles and the pedals kind of gave away its true condition.

Hopefully she’s too naïve to notice, I thought.

Forty minutes later, our exchange was complete. I probably made an extra $2,000 because of the odometer! If I’d only done this to all the other cars I sold!

Suddenly, my mind began processing the implications. That minivan was pretty much at the end of its life. That young mom is expecting the vehicle to last her for a few more years. At best, I see it lasting one more.

Parts will start failing, calling for expensive repairs. I’m certain she doesn’t have the money for that.

All I’m hoping is that it doesn’t break down on the highway. Maybe there was a reason I never did it before. Maybe, just maybe, I had a conscience up until now.

*Odometer: The law allows an odometer to be replaced when broken, but the repair must be recorded and the true mileage needs to be disclosed. CarProof and ICBC vehicle history reports can reveal more about how far a vehicle has really traveled. Even AirCare, where available, can help. And Walt is wrong; altering an odometer is a crime.

“I’d knocked off 200,000 km.

Hopefully, she’s too naïve to notice”

Buying used? We’re looking out for you.

Deconstructing Dinner showing on big screen DECONSTRUCTING DINNER

Deconstructing Dinner is a new original ichannel television series that investigates and celebrates the origins and importance of our food.

The six-part documentary series premiered across Canada last fall and on April 24, Nelson resident and series writer and host Jon Steinman will be in Creston to share two of the six episodes on the big screen.

From 2006-2010, Steinman was the host of the weekly syndicated radio show, Deconstructing Dinner, which broadcast in Creston on CIDO 97.7 FM. Since stepping away from radio, Steinman has been hard at work alongside Toronto producer Declan O’Driscoll. The duo has spent the past two years developing this television series with the support of Stornoway Communications and the Canada Media Fund.

Only registered players will be allowed on the field.

The series traces the path our food takes from farms and gardens to the kitchen table, and reveals the far-reaching impact that food production has on everything from local economies to human nutrition and flavour.

Each of the series’ six episodes focuses on one food: eggs, garlic, wheat, tomatoes, honey and pork. For the upcoming Creston screening, the highlight of the event will be the wheat episode, featuring Creston farmer Roy Lawrence of R&S Lawrence Farms.

In 2008, Lawrence helped found the Kootenay Grain CSA (community-supported agriculture), the first of its kind in Canada. For five years, Lawrence has been growing unique varieties of wheat, oats, lentils and peas for shareholders spread out throughout the West Kootenay. The CSA model offers an innovative opportunity for farmers and consumers to develop closer ties with one another and for farmers to receive a fair price for their product. With shareholders paying $1.25/pound for his grains (almost 10 times the price most farmers receive), the story of this unique Creston initiative was worthy of being told to a global audience.

Following the wheat episode, Steinman will also share the tomatoes episode and a few

short videos produced exclusively for the web.

Music for the series is written by Juno- and Emmynominated musician and Slocan Valley resident Adham Shaikh. Animations for the series were developed by Nelson’s Alex Avelino.

Also at the event will be an opportunity to get a copy of the recently released book Uprisings: A Hands-On Guide to the Community Grain Revolution.

Published by British Columbia’s New Society Publishers, the book was inspired by the

Kootenay Grain CSA and Deconstructing Dinner. Chapter 1 of the book tells the grain CSA’s story. Some of the photos in the book were provided by the Creston Valley Advance’s Lorne Eckersley.

The April 24 event is being hosted by the Creston Valley Food Action Coalition and Deconstructing Dinner, and will take place at the Prince Charles Theatre at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and admission is by donation. Series DVDs and Uprisings will be available for purchase at the event.
