The town works crew worked throughout the night — starting at 1 a.m. Jan. 8 — to remove accumulated snow on Canyon Street between 10th and 16th avenues.

“It’s important for you to know that this is not an ad hoc system,” town manager Lou Varela told town council at the Jan. 6 committee of the whole meeting.

With about 47 kilometers of roads to maintain, it isn’t easy to keep people happy after a major snowfall, like the one on Jan. 4, Mayor Ron Toyota told his newly elected council.

“I’m sure you have all been getting calls,” he said.

Municipal services director Ross Beddoes said the first priority when crews got to work on Monday morning was to “move snow from the centre of roads to create driving lanes.”

Councillors were provided with copies of the streets, roads and sidewalks policy, which outlines procedures to be followed to deal with snowfalls. Included in the package was a map that illustrates the priority in which snowplowing is to take place. Roads are designated as Priority 1, 2 and 3.

Priority 1 roads, according to policy, include major collectors (main routes serving as connectors/collectors between areas and routes), steep grades (hilly terrain that gets slippery in inclement weather conditions), roads serving emergency routes to hospitals and fire equipment, transit routes and school zones. The roads are to open to traffic within 12 hours after a storm.

Creston named a top retirement destination

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Just as European explorers “discovered” an already inhabited North America, Canada’s national newspaper has stumbled across Creston.

Readers of the Globe and Mail have singled out Creston in the newspaper’s “third round” of stories on Canada’s top retirement destinations.

In a story on Monday by retire-

ment property editor Christine Mushka, the author comments, “Arguably the most prosperous generation North America has ever seen, baby boomers are changing the expectations of retirement, including where they live. The unrelenting upward pressure on home prices, especially in Canada’s largest urban centres, works in their favour.”

After citing high real estate prices in Canada’s major urban centres, Mushka said many retir-

This week’s feature:

ees are seeking options.

“At these kinds of prices, many baby boomers can afford to cash out of city properties and adventure to smaller centres where retirement savings stretch further. It’s not an easy move. It may not work for every retiree.”

Six popular small retirement destinations are mentioned, including Creston.

Others include Osoyoos, B.C.; ChathamKent, Ont.; Gimli, Man., Port Stanley, Ont.; and Rothesay, N.B.

“The town of Creston, B.C., is already home to a large number of retirees, and they keep on coming, especially from Alberta,” writes Kerry Gold. “They are drawn to a microclimate that means winter temperatures seldom dip far below freezing, and there’s hardly any snow. They also like the fact that Creston is the epitome of the idyllic small town, with a population of about 5,000. It’s got its own little hospital, courses available at the College of the Rockies, five

Other collectors — roads that run to connectors like 10th and 16th Avenue, for instance — are designated as Priority 2. They are to be opened within 24 hours of the end of a storm.

Priority 3 comprises all other roads, town parking lots and paved recreation trails. The opening of all roads is to be complete within 48 hours of the end of a storm, with the exception of weekends and statutory holidays.

“These are to be considered minimum standards and it is anticipated that under average conditions all roads will be cleared within 24 hours,” the policy says.

An anomaly arises with the maintenance of Canyon Street, which is the responsibility of the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.

However, the road maintenance contract does not include removing snow piled at the sides of the street (and onto sidewalks) that create barriers for parked cars and their occupants. The town is left to remove that snow.

“We have to get permission from the department of highways, because it’s their road,” Beddoes said. “But that is just a formality.”

The removal of snow from Canyon Street on Jan. 8 was scheduled to cause as little interference with traffic as possible. Two loaders, two dump trucks, one labourer and a flag crew were required to complete the removal before traffic started to get busy in the morning.

History of the Truck

1921: Purchased September in North Dakota by George (died 1974), Robert (died 1977) and Joseph Derry (died 1968), living in Moose Jaw, Sask.

1927: Brought to B.C. in September to the coal-mining town of Michel near Sparwood.

1936: Derry brothers came to Canyon; they had a 30-acre farm at the end of Whimster Road. They would put a stove in the back of the truck and take it up Mount Thompson to pick huckleberries, which they canned onsite.

1950: Licensed for the last time, and probably in use by the Derry brothers up until then. Ownership transferred to Robert Watt, owner of Yahk Pioneer Park Museum.

It is believed that the truck’s cab, licence plate and equipment are as they were in 1950.

1979: Yahk museum declared bankruptcy, and attempted to sell its collection at auction to pay off creditors.

The Creston historical society bought the entire collection, including the truck, and used it to establish the Creston Museum.

1981: Coils were being sought to get the truck running; it appears the engine was incomplete when the museum bought the truck.

The wheels have also been replaced.

2001: The cab was repainted, and the box given a new canvas cover. Was put in Blossom Festival parade on a flat deck.

2003: On display at Kokanee Ford for an antique Ford show marking the 100th anniversary of the Ford Motor Company — it was the oldest vehicle in that show.

2009: Was running when a Model T club from Calgary visited Creston on a road trip and borrowed parts from their cars.

Museum getting Model T ready to hit the road

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

At nearly 100 years old, the Creston Museum’s 1921 Model T Ford truck is getting a new lease on life, with a project underway to prepare it for the Creston Valley Blossom Festival parade — where it will make its second appearance, and the first under its own power.

With its homemade wooden cab, the truck is a unique and well-loved part of the Creston museum’s collection, and excitement is already high in the community, even over the smallest details.

“I tell people I got to pump up the tires,” said museum manager Tammy Hardwick.

“They go, ‘Really? You got to do that?’ ” To keep the project on track, the museum is seeking donations for a total of about $500.

A $1,000 donation from the Regional District of Central Kootenay Area B already helped replace the radiator and fan belt, and the Columbia Brewery donated another $1,000, which covered some parts and a contingency fund that’s slowly being used up.

“When you start to do this stuff, there are always surprises,” said Skip Bradford, Hardwick’s father and the project’s lead mechanic.

The unexpected included a broken radiator — possibly damaged by a crosspiece in the suspension — which was rebuilt to the original specifications by West Kootenay Radiator. For other pieces, Bradford discovered a Massachusetts company, Lang’s Old Car Parts (www. modeltford.com), which specializes in Model T parts.

“You can buy just about everything for this truck,” he said.

Brothers George, Robert and Joseph Derry, who were living in Moose Jaw, Sask, originally purchased it in North Dakota in September 1921.

They brought it to a mining

town near Sparwood in 1927, then moved to a 30-acre farm in Canyon in 1936.

In 1950, ownership of the truck was transferred to Yahk Pioneer Park Museum owner Robert Watt. When the museum went bankrupt in 1979, the Creston historical society purchased the collection, including the truck.

The original owners added a few things after buying it. One modification was an air pump to keep the gas flowing when going uphill. The truck came with a two-speed manual transmission, and they added a threespeed auxiliary transmission in 1926, which gave the truck six forward and two reverse speeds.

“Even in the 1920s, there were all kinds of options for trucks,” said Bradford.

It also has a number of “field modifications”, including brackets to hold the axle to the suspension, installed after the original bolts were stripped.

One of the most unique aspects of the truck is its homemade cab. At the time, it was possible to buy only the chassis and running gear, although Hardwick noted that it may have had a factory cab at one time. If so, it may have been wrecked in an accident; Bradford noted signs of damage. However, it has been well looked after — there is no rust despite its advanced age.

Originally about $400, the truck has about 21 horsepower.

It was last off the museum grounds in 2003 for a visit to Kokanee Ford during Ford’s 100th anniversary, and previously in 2001 on a flat deck for the Blossom festival parade — until Scrap King moved it from museum to Bradford’s garage where it was easier to work on it.

Work on the truck is one of several projects underway by the museum’s antique engine club to restore engines and equipment to running condition in the interest of preservation and attracting visitors — who will quickly see that the

Creston Museum is a place to experience history, not just look at it.

The museum has 11 stationary engines and several members of the club got a few running back in June (story online at tinyurl.com/ lsmlqa6), including a 1920 pump engine manufactured in Brandon,

Man., and an engine made in Ottawa, Kansas. Any extra funds raised that are not spent on making the truck parade-ready will be used to help with the others.

“Once we get this up and running, we’ll have a go at those,” said Bradford.

Creston Fire Rescue averages 100 calls per year

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

A recent response to a fire alarm in West Creston — authorized by Mayor Ron Toyota because Creston Fire Rescue isn’t officially providing fire protection in the area just yet — is the tip of the iceberg for Creston firefighters.

In a presentation to Creston town council’s committee of the whole on Jan. 6, fire Chief Mike Moore offered statistics to show his department’s activity in recent years.

From 2007-2014, Creston Fire Rescue responded to an average of 100 fire calls a year. Add to that another 70 rescue calls — most for motor vehicle incidents — and as many as 30 requests for public assistance, and Moore and his team are speeding off to potential emergencies every other day.

“The perception that we go to a couple of fires a year is false,” he said. “The fires that the public sees, where a big plume of black smoke appears in the sky, are big ones that are out of control before we get there. Most are never visible to the public eye.”

Moore’s wide-ranging presentation was made to bring the new town council up to speed on how one of the town’s largest services works, and to encourage discussion about related issues, including how a capital reserve fund can reduce borrowing needs in the coming decades.

Of particular interest to elected officials is how the cost to taxpayers of funding fire protection services is offset by savings.

“We follow a set of guidelines to estimate the potential losses in each fire we are called to,” he said. “The numbers might not be completely accurate, but we aren’t making them up.”

In the 31 fires fought in 2014, only $216,000 in property losses was reported.

The estimated value of property saved, however, is a staggering $11.9 million. In 2009 property loss was about $400,000, but property at risk was estimated at more than $19 million.

Statistically, the odds of a preventable fire in a residence that results in property loss or

injury are one in 700, Moore said. Compare that to the odds of winning a lottery — maybe one in 14 million — or even by getting hit by lightning — one in a million — and the importance of having certified fire protection becomes more clear.

“One in 10 Canadians will have a fire in their home, but 48 per cent of Canadians believe they have almost no hope of having a fire in their home,” he said.

Most preventable home fires are caused by carelessness, he said. Cigarettes, cooking, matches and lighters, and candles top the list of causes of preventable home fires in Canada in the last decade. Electrical and heating cause round out the top six.

Moore showed a video in which a small fire in a wastebasket spread throughout a house (the film used a real building and the fire was intentionally lit). It showed flames

Snowbirds may be subject to U.S. tax laws

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Life has become more complicated for Canadians who spend as much as half the year in warmer United States climates.

Canadians who spend longer than 120 days in the U.S. are subject to U.S. tax laws. To avoid liability they must file a Closer Connection Exemption Statement for Aliens form with the Internal Revenue Service, according to an article RV West magazine by Karen Kornelsen.

Tracking Canadians’ time across the border got easier last year when the two countries signed an agreement to share information about citizens crossing the international border. The agreement allows Canada and the U.S. border officials to swap passport information to track time spent in the countries.

Kornelsen’s story quotes Southern Interior MP Alex Atamanenko’s constituency assistant Gail Hunnisett, who

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff Creston RCMP responded to 51 calls from Jan. 5-11, Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan said on Monday.

January 5 •After purchasing an iPhone and iPad from a person travelling through town it occurred to a local male that they might have been stolen so he turned them in to the RCMP. •A female reported that her dog was attacked by “wolflike” dogs in Arrow Creek, but residents who the woman believed owned the dogs vehemently denied they had been off the property.

“I think it’s important to look at who this is targeting and who is most likely to be affected by this,” Hunnisett said. “This is for people with RVs or homes, often retirees, who go down to the U.S. for the winter. It’s a common misconception they can stay down there for 182 days and the primary concern was to get back to Canada, specifically B.C., so they don’t lose their medical coverage. But it’s a little more involved than that.”

Each trip across the border, even for the few minutes it takes to gas up or check the mail, counts as a full day, so Canadians who cut it close with the number of days they spend in the U.S. need to keep close track of their visits in order to avoid legal hot water.

“This is where people can get in trouble and why people need to know about this,” said Hunnisett. “If they go down to the U.S. and spend five or six months there and they come back and haven’t filed any forms, then they go to cross

mons to an Erickson Road address.

explains how the system now works.

“This means they now have the ability to enforce residency regulations,” said Hunnisett.

“Previously, you stopped at the American border on your way into the U.S., so they knew when you came in. But when you crossed back you came to the Canadian border, so they had no idea how much time you spent there. Now border officials — not tax agencies — can request that information if they have reason to.”

According to Hunnisett, many Canadians believe that if they spend fewer than 183 days per year in the U.S., they will both avoid U.S. taxation and retain their provincial healthcare. This is a common misconception. In fact, retirees who own second homes and/or spend the winter months in the southern states may have to submit forms to the Internal Revenue Service in order to maintain primary residence in Canada.

Where’s the fire?

I don’t feel obligated to cover town council’s committee of the whole meetings. No actual decisions are made and therefore the meetings don’t generate much news. But they do provide background information that can be as helpful to my knowledge base as it is to the participants.

Last week I waffled about attending Tuesday’s COTW meeting, but decided to go at the last minute.

Short agenda, I thought. Won’t be too long. So I ambled up the hill to town hall and took my seat. Shortly afterward I was taken aback when even before the meeting was called to order the discussion turned to whether pizza should be ordered in if the meeting was to extend into the supper hour. Geez, I thought, it’s only 3 p.m. How long can this take?

After some routine business — council members providing direction to staff about a federal/provincial grant application — fire Chief Mike Moore began to prepare for his presentation and it became evident that it would not be brief. He and town staff had worked to put together a primer for a council that has five new members (although Joe Snopek was previously a mayor and councillor, it has been six years since he sat at the council table, so he too can be considered somewhat of a newbie).

I was glad I decided to attend. I didn’t even take the opportunity to duck out at 5 p.m. when Mayor Ron Toyota announced a break for snacks (no one wanted to order in supper). And when I finally left at almost 7 p.m. I was amazed at how much I had enjoyed the meeting. For two-and-a-half hours we were treated to a detailed and informative presentation of extremely high quality.

A week later, I am still processing all that I learned.

How could I have been so naive, I wondered, at how I had never really made the connection between council decisions and my home insurance rates? How is that I didn’t have a clearer picture in my mind of how blending fire protection services in the Creston Valley would have an enormous benefit to all communities in the area?

Lorne Eckersley Fortunately, those questions, and countless others, were answered fully and well in Moore’s presentation.

Did you know that the level of fire protection services — equipment, number of volunteers, training levels — that we have, which has been determined by town councils throughout the years, directly influences our fire insurance rates?

Back up further and consider: Did you know that municipalities are not required to provide certified fire protection services at all? Nope, for all these years we could have been paying less in taxes and oh, about quadruple the insurance. All while hoping we could fight fires with garden hoses and extinguishers.

It’s no secret that it is become an increasingly great struggle to attract and maintain a trained volunteer firefighting force. (The word volunteer is a bit of a misnomer — they get paid, but for callouts. None are

sitting around the station getting paid to be on standby.) But some huge and innovative strides have been taking to combat the challenge.

The company that determines what levels of service we need to maintain our fire insurance rates says that a residential fire needs 13 trained firefighters to respond to a call (with more arriving to replace them if the blaze continues for more than about 50 minutes). It also says that, on average, it takes 39 volunteers on the roster to ensure that 13 will be available for a house fire call.

To put that in perspective, right now Creston has about 26 volunteers, Canyon-Lister about 18-20 and Wynndel has eight or less. The good news is that a recently signed mutual aid agreement means that all three departments can be called out to any fire in a defined area.

But wait, as the TV ads say, there’s more. A program set up here in Creston has led to the attraction of five firefighter trainees, recent grads from a U.S. program. They are being housed here for a year and put to work, at minimal cost (living expenses) to gain valuable hands-on experience. And, because they live right beside the fire hall and are in town nearly all the time, they count as the equivalent of three volunteers each.

These are only a few examples of the creativity and co-operation demonstrated by our three area fire departments. It has taken longer than it should have to get to this point — politics being what they are — and there remains much to be done. But it is heartening to me, as a resident and taxpayer, to know that smart, committed people are continually behind the scenes to make our community safer than it might be otherwise.

PM missing point of free speech To the Editor: Prime Minister Harper’s pronouncements of outrage, dismay and condemnation against the attack on free speech in Paris have an ironic hollow ring.

Is this the same prime minister who is well known for muzzling his own ministers and MPs and civil servants, especially environmentally concerned scientists? Is free speech for everyone or only the select few like himself, so he is able to deliver his portentous declarations?

In the same newscast are rallies with the intent of cancelling Bill Cosby’s shows although he has not been charged with any crimes. In this case, intimidation and harassment are being employed in attempting to cancel his right to seek a living through free speech.

There is a principle at stake here.

Before we drown ourselves in a deluge of outrage, perhaps we should look in the mirror. Perhaps free speech should start at home.

time with them. Habituated to fossil fuel products, we elders are giving our grandchildren devastating planetary weather disruption for their future. In the short term, we nurture them; in the long term, we doom them.

Two degrees in global warming is the threshold of a sustainable food, water and employment lifestyle. With our present fossil fuel usage, six degrees in global warming is where we are headed, where there is no human future.

Credible scientists have sounded the climate crisis alarm, yet the majority of elders aren’t responding to avert this threat to their grandchildren’s lives.

With economically viable energy alternatives and the opportunity to avoid disaster, doom is not a done-deal, but it will be if elders don’t react soon.

The world is not going to end if we don’t extract all of the fossil fuel quickly; however, our world will end if we do continue to extract as much of the fossil fuel as we can. The Canadian government’s $34 billion a year subsidized fossil fuel industry could instead subsidize 500,000 person years of employment by installing more than 150,000 megawatts of clean renewable energy, and grant our grandchildren the gift of time to design even better renewable energy systems.

For the love of our grandchildren’s futures, elders can choose to vote for leaders who will create subsidies for renewable energy to create sustainable employment, and who will place a livable environment as a top priority.

Unsubsidized fossil fuel can be designated for essential use, non-polluting extraction methods perfected and the last of petroleum respectfully used far into the future as the nonrenewable resource it is.

Now is the time for elders to educate ourselves about the consequences of climate change, put into action climate change mitigation and invest in a renewable energy economic system.

May our grandchildren live to be grandparents, too.

we in the western world ignore at our peril if we hope ever to stop this brand of murder or at least reduce it to a minimum.

Radicalism on the part of those who kill in the name of Allah can be attributed to a number of factors. The schism between Sunnis and Shiites, widespread poverty throughout much of the Middle East, and the West’s establishment and continued support of Israel in land long occupied by Arabs are three of the most obvious. However, the Israeli matter, important though it is in itself, is also representative of an even more basic factor.

At least ever since the end of the First World War — perhaps even earlier if you consider the exploitation of its oil reserves — the West has treated the Middle East as vassal territory. It divided up the area (most of which had been under Turkish rule) into tinpot dictatorships dependant on Britain or France.

This was done with little concern for differences among the people who lived in the area or, even more importantly, for their well-being. Most of these people were left without a decent standard of living, without political power — and without hope.

All that has changed since is that the rulers of these countries have become largely independent.

Is it any wonder that young people of the area, having been given by modern communications technology a glimpse of how westerners live, have become radicalized, not only in political terms but also with respect to the religious faith that, in essence, has helped to keep them in order?

We in the West must, I think, recognize that the sins of our fathers are coming home to roost. We must understand that if Muslim radicalism is to be countered with any success we must treat it not with bombs that kill more than the terrorists do but with whatever conciliatory and remedial measures we can employ.

It won’t be easy and it will take a long time to show positive results, but it is the only way that holds any hope and that recognizes our common humanity.

Q

To the Editor: I write this on the day that thousands, representatives mainly of western countries but also some from elsewhere in the world, including the Middle East, have gathered in Paris to express anger at and to condemn the recent killings of French citizens by radical Muslim terrorists.

That is right and proper. Political murder is detestable, whatever its alleged excuses or apparent motives.

When perpetrated to the extent of the events in France it deserves the kind of response that has been demonstrated today and in the past week or so.

Yet I have heard very little about one aspect of this issue that I think

Bad can be good

I think it is assumed by most people that doing something you’re not good at — especially if you know you’re not good at it — isn’t really worth it. Why do something if it’s going to go nowhere, right? The

point is… what? To all appearances, there isn’t one. On the opposite end of the spectrum, a person may be good at something, but they don’t do it. They should, though. It’s easy — no stress, right?

Well, for reasons I don’t understand, it doesn’t actually work that way. People do things they’re bad at all the time and even enjoy it.

Likewise, it is completely possible to hate something you’re amazing at, even if it is the easy way out.

Personally, anyone who knows me knows that I like creative things; maybe I’m a little obsessed. What I

really, vastly don’t like is school — another trait I take no pains to hide.

The irony is that I’m very good at school. I’m especially good at science, which is a bit mean to my teachers because I have no interest in it at all. I might be a promising student, but I have every intention of throwing that option out the window.

Nope, given half a chance, I’d rather ignore my homework and make a dragon hand out of glue, Plasticine and nail polish. I have the paint drying on one somewhere.

Why make it, though? The dragon really is useless. I don’t know what it’s for or why I’m making it, but the homework may accumulate into a degree in something.

It’s because no matter how good I do in school, it’s the dragon that keeps me sane and happy. It’s how I relax. It’s what I do for fun.

I’ll continue to do it in my spare time as long as I can. If a person does something they’re bad at, it’s because they like it and it makes them happy; being good or bad at it mostly matters to other people.

Whether that makes sense or not, that’s how it really works.

Plants still Tradition part of Zen need moisture teaching in the winter

I’ve had a break from writing this column and am now ready to start again. I thank you, my loyal readers, for your patience. Many of you have stopped me to ask why my columns have been discontinued. I have been on holiday. My next series of columns will be based on an essay written by Eihei Dogen, a medieval Japanese Zen master who is the founder of Soto Zen Buddhism. The Creston Zendo is a Soto Zen temple.

A Zen'sEye View Kuya Minague This series of columns will be a little different from the ones I’ve written in the past.

Rather than offering practical advice in a specific way, in this series I will be quoting paragraphs from one of Dogen’ s essays and commenting on their meaning. This is the traditional way of teaching Zen. I will continue to suggest practices at the end of each column, but it may not always be clear how they relate to the column itself.

The text that I will be using is one of 93 essays of Dogen that have been collected in a work called the Shobogenzo. “Shobogenzo” means “Treasury of the True Dharma Eye”. In other words, the essays in the Shobogenzo are Dogen’s attempt to express the reality of the enlightened mind. They are not easy to read because they are full of references to the Zen teachings of the past. Dogen was very well versed in the ancient teachings and referred to them often as he attempted to translate them into a language that his contemporaries would understand. Now, I will be trying to translate Dogen’s medieval essays into a language understandable to we who live in the 21st century. This undertaking is a humbling experience, but I will do the best I can.

Because we live in an area where we are so connected to the mountains and rivers, I have chosen the essay, “Mountains and Rivers Sutra.” The word “sutra” usually refer to words that the Buddha actually spoke in fifth century BC, when he was alive.

His words were transcribed into written documents by his students and passed on through the generations of Buddhist practitioners. In this essay, Dogen, as he often does, uses words in a way that differs from their usual use. Here, sutra does not refer to the words of the historical Buddha. Neither is Dogen saying that his essay is a sutra. He is making the astonishing statement that the sounds of the mountains and rivers are themselves are a sutra, that they perfectly express the essence of the teachings of the historical Buddha. The essay, “Mountains and Rivers Sutra”, explains his position that mountains and rivers are teaching us.

Suggested practice: Take some time to go for a walk, preferably on a mountain trail; listen to the sounds that arise in awareness.

As you walk, notice when your mind wanders to the past or future and gently coax your attention back to awareness of sound.

Don’t label or analyze; just listen.

Kuya Minogue is the resident teacher at Sakura-ji, Creston’s zendo. This column is inspired by an essay by 13th century Zen master Eihei Dogen and the teaching of Norman Fishcher.

For more information, Minogue can be reached at 250-428-6500, and previousg columns are available at www.zenwords.net.

Moderate winter weather is still leaving me with a chill when I come in from outside. I think it is the wind.

A few days ago, I seeded the pansy and viola crops in the greenhouse. They usually mature in 14 to 15 weeks, so if we have good sunny weather their first blooms will still be a week late for

this year’s early Easter. Not the ideal way to start the new year off but it’s not like they are Easter lilies, which tend to have little to no value after Easter. I can run the greenhouses a few degrees warmer, use supplemental lighting and feed the seedlings a little bit earlier. This should help them grow just that much faster to start.

While greenhouses tend to have higher humidity at this time of year, which is helpful in germinating seedlings, the indoor climate of our house can have a desert-like humidity. Our home’s relative humidity is sitting between 25 and 30 per cent, with very dry air. If you have tropical houseplants or a leftover poinsettia, they are likely drying out on a very regular basis. If possible, place some of your plants in the kitchen or bathrooms of your home to help give them more humidity.

It is important to water them regularly when they are dry. I like to sit the potted plants in a large bowl of warm water (or the sink) for a few hours to saturate the root ball and then let them drain. Indoor tropical plants enjoy warm temperature and high humidity. Many commercial specimens began life in a greenhouse somewhere in Florida before being shipped north.

On the other side of the spectrum, I keep some old cacti growing in my office space that is kept quite cool (15 C) and fairly bright. They do well there with next to no water over the whole of winter. Basically they have gone dormant but aren’t freezing.

Most indoor plant pests go dormant for winter too. This has to do with the shorter day length, same as what makes your poinsettia start to flower through fall. Last fall, I had noticed a few spider mites on a newer palm tree we had acquired for our home. There was not enough to worry about at the time — no webbing was showing and no leaf damage was noticed. It was late September and the natural day length was short enough I knew they would be shutting down for winter.

However, these little critters are responsible for about a third of the insect damage to agricultural crops worldwide, so we want to take them seriously and eliminate them before they spread. You can kill them off with three separate applications of Safer soap or any other miticide, but you have to get the timing right. When you notice them moving again later in spring, place the plant in the shower and spray them down well both on the upper and undersides of the leaves with the soapy water. Let that set for an hour and then shower them off. At room temperature, the next generation will hatch out from remaining eggs about five days later. You need to reapply the soap treatment again and wait for another five days for a third spray.

This ensures that there are no further offspring to start the problem all over again.

The tiny mites can spread by crawling, hitchhiking on people’s clothes and outdoors by blowing in the wind. If temperatures are warmer, their life cycle speeds up accordingly. In hot summer weather, eggs may hatch in as little as three days. That is why they can be such a destructive agricultural pest.

EAST KOOTENAY FOUNDATION FOR HEALTH

Over the past few months, the board of directors at the East Kootenay Foundation for Health (EKFH) have been making an equipment and patient comfort list. In addition to its ongoing fundraising for both its annual Starlite campaign and the upcoming capital campaign (East Kootenay Regional Hospital intensive care unit equipment) the foundation took on an extra special funding project.

In late August, EKFH had a maturing GIC of $100,000. In a unanimous vote of support the board of directors made a decision to cash out the GIC and focus on purchasing medical equipment or patient comforts that had a cost of $5,000 or less.

Interior Health’s acute care, community integrated, allied health, diagnostic imaging and residential care portfolios were asked to submit their wish list of

difficult, the EKFH board approved and is now releasing a total of $98,697 in funding support.

The types of equipment vary across the

region and are now starting to arrive at the sites. The latest piece of equipment is a $4,350 blanket warmer for the Creston Valley Hospital operating room.

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced.

“The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small.

I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.”

Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.”

Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home.

The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Library launching health care speaker series CRESTON VALLEY PUBLIC LIBRARY

The Creston Valley Public Library is launching a new speaker series, Healthy You, Healthy Community, on Jan. 27, focusing on complementary health care to help you make the best decisions for your own well-being. The series will highlight naturopathic medicine, herbal medicine, acupuncture and more.

During the last century, we have witnessed many truly revolutionary advances in health care, from research into the causes of infectious diseases and the development of vaccines and pharmaceuticals to successful organ transplants and surgeries, even genomic medicine. These advances have improved our ability to prevent, diagnose and treat common and serious afflictions alike. The innovation underlying such progress continues to create and accelerate change,

while many new technologies and medical interventions provide new options for care and treatment.

One area of medical treatment that has seen remarkable interest and growth, particularly in the last decade, is integrated, complementary health care that sees medical doctors working alongside naturopathic doctors, herbal practitioners, registered acupuncturists and others to deliver a comprehensive holistic care regimen. In the western world, conventional medicine alone is still the accepted foundation for healthcare, but complementary and alternative modalities are increasingly included in teaching programs in medical schools and in medical practice.

Reasons for seeking nontraditional forms of treatment are many and vary from person to person, but more important for most people is how an integrated approach can benefit them, specifically, the nature of these non-

Dragon’s Breath?

conventional methods and how they can help in one’s quest for optimum health.

Dr. Kim Masuch Over the next few months, the Creston Valley Public Library will offer a series of talks

designed to enlighten and initiate one in these lesser-known health practices. The series will focus on naturopathic medicine, herbal medicine, acupuncture and other modalities that can become integral parts of your health care regimen.

The series is led by Dr. Kim Masuch, a licensed naturopathic physician with a vibrant practice in Creston. Trained at the University of Victoria and the Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine from 2003-2012, she also holds additional certifications in pharmaceutical prescriptive authority, intravenous therapies, acupuncture, and Bowen therapy, allowing a wide range of treatment options for all types of health concerns. Masuch offers both primary care and adjunctive care with all other types of practitioners, including medical doctors. She is a licensed member in good standing with the College of Naturopathic Physicians of BC, the BC

Naturopaths Association and the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors.

Masuch believes that health is a personal journey and as we are all individuals, we require options for our health that are unique to each of us. She uses the principles of naturopathic medicine to help each person regain control over their own health and healthcare choices, and allowing the body to heal using the help of natural therapeutic alternatives.

With naturopathic medicine, she treats a wide range of health concerns, including chronic digestive concerns, fatigue, depression and anxiety, cancer support, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, healthy ageing, pregnancy and fertility issues, children’s medicine and much more.

In coming talks, Masuch will also speak on multivitamins, cancer care and sleep difficulties.

Stay tuned for other topics in the series. For more information, call the library at 250-428-4141.

CRESTON VALLEY COMMUNITY HOUSING SOCIETY

The Creston Valley Community Housing Society was delighted to receive $15,000 from the Creston Valley Gleaners Society toward the construction of a six-unit family housing project at 215 25th Ave. S. Construction began in August and it is anticipated that the first families will be welcomed into the building in the fall of 2015.

The Gleaners was the first group to step up to support the housing society when it began its work in 2008 and remains its biggest local supporter. Because of their work operating the food bank, Gleaners volunteers are the first to see the effects of poverty on families in the valley.

Other local supporters include the CrestonKootenay Foundation, the Creston Ministerial Association and the Creston Lions Club, along with many citizens. Watch for fundraising events coming soon!

Library documentary examining climate change CRESTON VALLEY PUBLIC LIBRARY

when we know so much? Through a relentless investigation to find the answer, the edgy documentary film, Disruption, takes an unflinching look at the devastat-

that have brought us to this social, moral and ecological crossroads. The movie also When it comes to climate takes us behind the scenes of change, why do we do so little the efforts to organize the largest climate rally in the history of the planet during the United Nations world climate summit.

This is the story of our unique moment in history. We are living through an age of tipping points and rapid social and planetary change. We’re the first generation to feel the impacts of climate disruption and the last generation that can do something about it. The film enlarges the issue beyond climate impacts and makes a compelling call for bold action that is strong enough to tip the balance to build a clean energy future.

Filmmakers Kelly Nyks and Jared P. Scott have created a film . that at once supplies an easy-to-understand rundown of the science of global warming, lays out the history of international leaders’ half-hearted attempts to address the crisis, explains the political and psychological reasons for continued inaction, and offers a stirring call-toarms for people to get off the couch and get into the streets.

The film is anchored by interviews with some of the progressive movement’s leading luminaries. We hear from climatologist James Hansen, MSNBC host Chris Hayes, author Naomi Klein, CNN Crossfire host and Rebuild the Dream co-founder Van Jones, scientist Heidi Cullen (formerly of the Weather Channel), and author-activist Bill McKibben, who’s done more than just about anyone to educate and agitate for climate The new TELUS Fibre Optic Network is so blazing fast you’ll be able action. Also in the film are Harvard professor to download a full music album in 8 seconds flat.* Plus, you can now Naomi Oreskes, veteran organizer Leslie experience the most HD channels† available with Optik TV TM.

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Baldy Ridge Extension Project Open House and Invitation to Comment Teck Coal Limited (Proponent) is proposing to extend the working life of the Elkview mine by developing and operating the proposed Baldy Ridge Extension Project (proposed Project). The proposed Project would be located approximately 2.5 km east of Sparwood, British Columbia, and would produce an estimated 6.8 million tonnes of clean coal per year.

The proposed Project is subject to review under British Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act. The Proponent must obtain an environmental assessment certificate before any work can be undertaken on the proposed Project. However, prior to submission of an application (Application) for a certificate by the Proponent, Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO) must first approve Application Information Requirements.

Key to the Application Information Requirements is the identification of Valued Components to be studied and the areas within which the studies would occur. This task is done through the Valued Components Selection Document.

To provide information about Valued Components Selection, EAO invites the public to attend an Open House. There will be one Open House, to be held as follows: at:

on:

Sparwood Seniors Centre 101 4th Avenue, Sparwood (next to Lilac Terrace Seniors Housing) January 22, 2015

from: 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

There are 30 days for the submission of comments by the public in relation to Valued Components Selection. The comment period will begin on January 15, 2015 and end on February 16, 2015. All comments received during this comment period in relation to Valued Components Selection will be considered.

The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that all potential effects – environmental, economic, social, heritage and health – that might result from the proposed Project are identified for consideration as part of the assessment process. At this stage of the process, the primary intent is to receive feedback about the studies or information required for a comprehensive environmental assessment.

After taking public comments into account, EAO will finalize the Application Information Requirements and issue them to the Proponent.

EAO accepts public comments through the following ways: •By Online Form at: http://www.eao.gov.bc.ca •By Mail: Kate Haines Project Assessment Manager Environmental Assessment Office PO Box 9426 Stn Prov Govt Victoria BC V8W 9V1 •By Fax: Fax: 250-356-7477 An electronic copy of the Valued Components Selection Document and information regarding the environmental assessment process are available at www.eao.gov.bc.ca. Copies of the Valued Components Selection Document are also available for viewing at these locations: Teck Community and Aboriginal Affairs Office 116 Centennial St, Sparwood 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday to Thursday Sparwood Library 110 Pine Avenue, Sparwood Elkview Operations Main Gate RR 1, Hwy 3, Sparwood, V0B 2G1 If you are unable to participate at this time, there will be an additional comment period during the Application Review stage when you will also be able to provide comments to EAO on the proposed Project.

NOTE: All submissions received by EAO during the comment period in relation to the proposed Project are considered public and will be posted to the EAO website.

Ada Evelyn Thachik September 6, 1933 ~ December 27, 2014 It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of our mother. Words can not describe our immense loss.

Born and raised in Margo Saskatchewan, Mom graduated from Yorkton General Hospital as an RN and nursed for 42 years; the majority of time worked in Creston. She had a passion for her profession, a rare gift of accepting people exactly as they were and an unconditional love for her children. A generous soul with an incredible heart who always put others Àrst; many said she was a role model, teacher and claimed her an honorary family member. She was highly intelligent, always "present" when with you or speaking with you and her interests were vast. We are truly lucky, proud and blessed to say she was our amazing mother. She touched many and her loss is immeasurable.

She was predeceased by her husband John, son David, three brothers and a sister.

She is survived by her son Bryan; daughter Krista; sisters and their families, Lilian McSeveney and Edna Weys; and grandchildren Micheal and Kristopher.

Heartfelt thanks to the care team that kept Mom comfortable during her Ànal days and a special thank you to Jerry MacIntyre for the dignity and respect with which he honored her. ,Q OLHX RI à RZHUV NLQGO\ GRQDWH WR \RXU IDYRXULWH FKDULW\ $ &HOHEUDWLRQ RI /LIH WR EH KHOG DW D ODWHU GDWH

December 22, 1924 ~ December 20, 2014 Richard Lawrence CĂ´tĂŠ (Larry), 89, passed away suddenly at his home on December 20, 2014 in Creston, B.C. He was born December 22, 1924 to Zenon and Claudia (Potvin) CĂ´tĂŠ in Saint-LĂŠon-Le-Grand, Quebec. On June 30, 1958 he married Anna Konopelka in Rycroft, Alberta.

One of 17 children, Larry grew up on his uncle’s farm outside of Montreal, QC. There he learned carpentry from his father as well as mechanical repair working on his uncle’s Ford Model “T�.

Larry joined the army at 17, using his older brother’s ID. He was shipped off to England to take his ofÀcer’s training before they found out his real age.

Luckily by the time they realized their mistake Larry had already turned 18.

Larry’s mechanical skills were put to good use in the army working in the motor pool and driving transports. He saw action in Europe and was even wounded in the line of duty. He had many stories to tell.

Larry’s wanderlust saw him living in many places throughout the country.

After he returned from the army he lived in Toronto for a time, where he owned and cooked in a small cafĂŠ.

From Toronto he eventually ended up in Fairview, AB where he worked as a mechanic at Balisky’s Garage. It was in Fairview that he also met his bride-tobe Anna Konopelka. Anna was teaching in Fairview but her teacherage was so small there were no laundry facilities.

She had gone to the Balisky home to do her wash, where she met Larry. Ever the carpenter, Larry was building a bed in the basement and Anna went to see what all the noise was. She found a charming, young Frenchman who soon won her heart. The couple was married shortly after and spent the Àrst night of their honeymoon sleeping in a hayloft. They moved to Whitehorse, Yukon where Larry opened a garage doing mechanical repairs as well as bodywork. It was in Whitehorse that they were blessed with their Àrst two children Debra, and Wayne. In 1963, after 5 years in the Yukon, Larry packed up the family and moved to Creston, BC. Larry worked at various jobs in the valley including mechanical repairs at his own garage on 11th Avenue (where the Credit Union is now located), Creston Motors (located where Shopper’s Drugmart now stands), and Vance Motors (currently

Cr

Northstar Motors) and even worked as a technician at Tak’s Home Furnishers.

It was in Creston where their youngest, Gary, was born. Even though Larry was an accomplished mechanic he’d never received his journeyman’s ticket so he enrolled at Malaspina College in Nanaimo to get his formal education.

Larry excelled in the program, even substituting for the professor the times when the professor couldn’t attend.

Larry opened his own shop “The Mobile Mechanic� and operated for many years working out of his garage as well as helping stranded motorists.

Larry had a “can-do� attitude and many passions, some of which included carpentry, mechanics and cooking.

His love of cooking, carpentry and mechanics lives on through his children and grandchildren, some of which even chose to follow his footsteps in automotive repair. Even though he could easily afford to replace things, he chose instead to disassemble and repair almost any item. He loved Ă€guring out how things worked and then returning them to working order. As a testament to that, their house still has the original stove from 1963. He also loved animals and cherished his cat “Cassieâ€?, a gift from his grandson Jason.

In addition to his wife Anna, Larry will also be missed by his sister BÊrangère CôtÊ-Marier; his children Debra (Tom) Stevenson, Wayne (Cheryl) CôtÊ, and Gary (Linda) CôtÊ; his grandchildren Jason, Shaeara, Logan, Benjamin, Caleb, Meredith and Christian; his great-grandchild Aurora-Belle, as well as numerous nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.

The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to Dr. Hopkins as well the ambulance service EMT’s, Creston Fire Rescue First Responders and the nurses at the Creston Valley Hospital that worked so diligently caring for Larry.

A Memorial Service will be held for Larry at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday January 17, 2015 at Grace Christian Fellowship, 2416 Cedar Street, Creston; 3astor Steven Schneider ofÀciatinJ. Memorial contributions can be made to Grace Christian Fellowship P.O. Box 92, Creston, BC V0B 1G0.

John Gerald Worthington passed away unexpectedly in the Trail Hospital on December 29, 2014 at the age of 82.

Genevieve (Gen) Hackett (Mortimer) September 28, 1922 ~ December 30, 2014 It is with great sorrow we announce the passing of our mother, Genevieve Hackett, on December 30, 2014 at Crest View Care Village. Gen was 92 years young and was surrounded by her loving family when she passed. She was a very independent lady who was an inspiration to all that knew her.

Genevieve was born on the Mortimer homestead in Davin, Saskatchewan on September 28, 1922. She moved with the family to Sunnybrook, Alberta, and Ànally on to British Columbia. The family lived in Wynndel before moving to West Creston, where they built a farm to raise eight children. Gen left the farm when she was 15 and moved to Victoria, BC where she trained and worked as a home care nurse.

Genevieve met Thomas Murray Hackett in Wynndel, but they married in Trail on May 26, 1941. They lived in Trail until Murray was called to war, when the family moved back to Wynndel where they stayed until 1958. There were many moves in Gen s life with the Ànal return being made to Creston in 2002 to be with her family and many relatives.

Genevieve was predeceased by her loving husband, Thomas Murray Hackett, daughter Myrna Lynn Hackett and son Randolph Wayne Hackett. She mourned the deaths of her sisters Joyce and Shirley, and brothers Ronald and Gerald.

Genevieve is survived by her daughters Linda Ann Schlick and Lorna Jane Jensen. Her sisters Lola Evans and Iris Mortimer are saddened by her passing, as is her brother Melvin Mortimer. Gen leaves behind grandchildren Patricia, David, Roxanna and Melanie, as well as great-grandsons Devon and Ethan.

The Funeral Service will be held Friday January 16, 2015 at 1:00 pm at GF Oliver Funeral Chapel.

Viewing is from 12:00 to 1:00.

Friends wishing to make a memorial tribute in Gen's name are asked to do so to the Diabetic Association of BC, 360-1385 W. 8th. Ave., Vancouver BC V6H3V9.

January 13,1932 ~ December 29, 2014

John had been a resident of Wynndel for the last Àfteen years. He lived a long and fulÀlling life.

Born in Drummondville, Quebec, he moved to England at the age of two. His young life was spent at HighÀeld in Kent, England where he graduated from Maidstone Grammar School. He joined the Royal Air Force as a medic and was stationed in Germany for two years. He returned to Canada in 1955 to Vancouver, B.C. where he met his Àrst wife Shirley. They had two children, Deborah and Kim. Moving to Duncan, B.C., John became an electrician in the early 1960s. He built a business, then worked for the B.C. Government for twenty years as an Electrical Inspector. He met and married Marlayne in 1991. When they settled in Creston, John also worked with Herm Ipema.

John was a member of the Shawinigan Lake Legion for many years. After retirement, his hobbies included being a small plane pilot, travelling, cooking and renovating their home. He also loved animals, especially Staffordshire Bull Terriers. He will be sadly missed by many.

John is pre-deceased by his parents, Rowland and Mabel Worthington of Kent England, and his Àrst wife Shirley (1985).

He is survived by his present wife Marlayne Francis; daughters Deborah Throssell and Kim (Charles) Wincott; Earl (September) Williams, Shayne (Peggy) Williams, Karry Williams and Cindy May; many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and many wonderful friends. John was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. He will be sadly missed by his wife and family.

A Memorial Service will be held at a later date.

In lieu of Áowers, memorial contributions may be made to any charity of your choice.

Lowell Naeve

May 8, 1917 ~ August 21 , 2014

Lowell Naeve peacefully passed away at the Crest View Care Village on August 21, 2014 in Creston BC at the age of 97 years.

Lowell was born on May 8, 1917 in Sioux City Iowa, USA to Meta and Albert Naeve.

He was raised in the grain Àelds and countryside of Iowa. In his early years he was an athlete and was a very accomplished track and Àeld high jumper.

After high school he hitchhiked across the United States exploring the expansive country and then attended Art Schools in both Los Angeles and Mexico City and worked as an art model while pursuing his education.

He was an artist all of his life and worked in the mediums of oil paintings, drawings, wood-block prints, pottery, metal sculpture, as a book illustrator, an independent Àlm maker and published two books (a Field of Broken Stones and the Phantasies of a Prisoner).

He is best known for his black and white drawings, where he achieved numerous awards and was acknowledged by the British Royal family.

Throughout his life he was a political activist and was active in both the civil rights and peace movements in the United States. He lived, acted and believed in a just society for all.

In Greenwich Village (New York City) he met Virginia, his lifelong partner.

Together they built a life in Florida, and Vermont (USA). They taught art at the Woodstock Country Private School in Vermont where Lowell and Virginia mentored many students.

Cards of Thanks

In 1965 the family immigrated to Canada with their 3 children and bought a 140 acre farm in North Hatley, Quebec where they were farmers, created a summer camp for children, an art gallery and an apple pressing business.

In his 65th year, he moved to Creston British Columbia, where he continued to write, create his pen drawings, and ran a dog kennel business.

Lowell is survived by his wife Virginia of 68 years, his daughter Serena Naeve of Creston, his sons Gavin Naeve (Barb) of Palmetto, Florida, and Brandon Naeve (Susan) of Nokomis, Florida, his grandchildren Deirdre Baker (Dave) of Vermont, Shawn Baker (Kate) of New York State, Jesse Beye (Candace) of Englewood, Florida, Jasmine Beye Rudderham (Jason) of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Hunter Naeve of Nokomis, Florida and his great-grandchild Lucas Rawson of Vermont. He is predeceased by his daughter, Adrienne Flagg of Vermont.

Lowell will be remembered by his wife Virginia, children, grandchildren and great-grand children for his legacy of trees that he planted throughout his life, his ethics, his social justice activism, his love of animals, his legacy of art and for his caring. He will be sorely missed by his family.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Sunday January 25, 2015 at the West Creston Community Hall at 3p.m.

A community potluck will follow the service.

TELEMARKETING FRAUD

Criminals use the same techniques as legitimate companies, but hide behind the anonymity of the telephone and attempt to defraud thousands and thousands of Canadians each year.

Volunteer TIPS your time, energy and skills today.

The RCMP is involved in a National Task Force known as the Canadian Anti-fraud Centre that was established to combat telemarketing fraud. A few basic suggestions from the Canadian Anti-fraud Centre should help ensure that you do not fall victim to the tactics of fraudulent telemarketers: DO NOT believe that everyone calling with an exciting promotion or investment opportunity is trustworthy, especially if you do not know the caller or their company.

DO NOT invest or purchase a product or service without carefully checking out the investment, product, service, and the company.

DO NOT be afraid to request further documentation from the caller so you can verify the validity of the company.

DO NOT be fooled by the promise of a valuable prize in return for a low cost purchase.

DO NOT be pressured to send money to take advantage of a “special offer or deal”.

DO NOT be hurried into sending money to claim a prize that is available for only a “few hours”.

DO NOT disclose information about your finances, bank accounts or credit cards (not even the credit card expiry date).

DO NOT be afraid to hang up the phone.

DO contact the Canadian Anti-fraud Centre if you are contacted by someone who promises you great prizes, but you are required to send money in advance for shipping, handling, taxes, etc.

DO contact the Canadian Anti-fraud Centre if you are contacted by someone who says that you have won a prize, but you have to purchase a product to qualify.

Please contact the Canadian Anti-fraud Centre to lodge a complaint or request more information: Toll-free telephone: 1-888-495-8501 Toll-free fax: 1-888-654-9426 E-mail: info@antifraudcentre.ca Mail: Box 686, North Bay, Ontario P1B 8J8

Thunder Cats second in division after three wins

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

Three wins on the weekend helped the Creston Valley Thunder Cats to reach second place in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Eddie Mountain Division, a position they haven’t seen yet this season.

After Sunday’s game, the Thunder Cats had 47 points, placing them one point ahead of the Kimberley Dynamiters and two ahead of the Golden Rockets.

The Fernie Ghostriders continue to lead the division with 59 points, while the Columbia Valley Rockies trail with 20.

The positioning could easily change, though, with the Thunder Cats slated to play a Tuesday game in Kimberley (after the Advance’s press time).

“It’s a big game for us,” said

head coach Jeff Dubois. “I’m sure they’ve identified it as a big game as well.”

Friday’s 5-2 win over the visiting Columbia Valley Rockies got off to a slow start he said, with a goal by Carson Cartwright tying the score in the middle of the first period.

“My feeling was we were kind of pacing ourselves, knowing it was the start of a long weekend,” said Dubois.

Cartwright earned a hat trick, scoring twice more in the second period, once on a power play, for a 3-2 lead by the end of the second period, which held until Ryley Bosman scored at 9:07 in the third.

Justin Post added a fifth goal with seven seconds remaining.

With a total of seven points between them in that game, Dubois remains impressed with the line of Cartwright, Alec

Wilkinson and Kyle Richter.

“Since the end of November, they’ve been the guys that we’ve counted on on the offensive side for sure,” he said.

The Thunder Cats played in Fernie on Saturday, edging the Ghostriders 4-3 in their last game there in the regular season.

“We wanted to show not just that we can play some good hockey, but take a lead and hold on to that lead,” said Dubois.

The Thunder Cats were down 2-1 after a first-period goal by Marcel Fuchs, and although neither team scored in the second, Creston outshot Fernie 17-3.

A third-period power-play goal by Fernie was answered with three power-play goals by Creston’s Nicholas Kovacik, Austin Steger and Richter, giving goalie Brock Lefebvre his first win in Fernie.

“It was a good characterbuilding performance and a chance to prove to ourselves that we’re right there with top teams in the league,” said Dubois.

The Princeton Posse, in third in the Okanagan Division with 40 points, visited Creston on Sunday, losing 2-1 to the Thunder Cats.

The Posse scored their only goal five minutes into the first period.

“We let them dictate the tempo in first period,” said Dubois. “We were surprised how aggressive and physical they were.”

The Thunder Cats took control in the second period, with Connor Ward and Richter each scoring a power-play goal.

Goalie Mitchell Martell limiting Princeton’s scoring chances was the key to the win, said Dubois, as were the penalty-killing contributions of Marcel Fuchs and Ward during eight minutes

of the third period.

“We’ve had our ups and downs killing penalties this year, but we’re getting to the point where we’re real comfortable with that group doing that job,” said Dubois.

This weekend, the Thunder Cats play two divisional games, hosting Fernie on Friday and Golden on Saturday.

“We’ve been good against [Fernie] so far at home,” said Dubois. “I’m sure they’ll be looking to even it up from us winning at their place.”

This will be the first time Creston has hosted the Rockets since September, and with only a couple of points separating the teams, the game is a big deal.

“We’ve got a lot of games over the next three weeks where playoff positioning can go one way or the other based on one night’s work,” said Dubois.
