Prince Charles Secondary School drama teacher Brooke Douma has never been one to shy away from serious subjects, and that hasn’t changed with the upcoming production of Class Dismissed.

The play focuses on Jonathan Banks, a high school English teacher who, tired of his students’ lackadaisical attitude toward their education, decides to hold his five most troublesome students hostage at gunpoint.

“He just gets frustrated because he’s a teacher who gives up his life to teach his kids,” said Douma. “He

wants to teach them a lesson. It’s not really about school, it’s about life.”

The play — written by Emmynominated producer, director and writer Craig J. Nevius when he was in high school — is a bit more lighthearted than Douma’s 2013’s production of Anne Frank and Me, which offered a gripping reminder of the Holocaust, and the sombre subject matter combined with humorous moments was well suited to the 22 cast members.

“I thought there was a lot of opportunity for the kids character-wise,” said Douma, who is directing. “They get to work with comedy and serious acting.”

Reforestation practices maintain industry, nature

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

Reforestation sounds simple enough: Cut down a tree, plant a tree; cut down a tree, plant a tree — and on it goes.

But the reality is that the process is much more involved.

“It entails anything to do with the resource — that resource being timber, that resource being wildlife, that resource being water,” said Rick Hanson, woodlands manager for J.H. Huscroft Ltd. “I’ve spent more time dealing with other parts than planting trees.”

Planning for reforestation begins a few years before cutting actually takes place, starting with a silviculture prescription, which “outlines what to do to establish a free-to-grow stand on that cut block,” identifying and assessing the impact on archeology, wildlife and water.

Esthetics plays a role, as well — trees to be cut may be scattered throughout the cut block with great importance placed on maintaining natural sightlines.

“If you just put a square block on a hill, it doesn’t look very pretty,” Hanson said. “If you do it right, most people won’t know you’ve been there. It has minimal impact, if any, because it is going to regenerate.”

Provincial regulations state that cutting can’t exceed 40 hectares in a block, and that an adjacent portion can’t be logged until the replanted forest grows to 15 feet. It’s quite different than when Hanson got into the business over 40 years ago.

“When I first started, you could actually get up in the morning and go log a hillside,” he said.

Hanson grew up on the Prairies, and earned a forestry degree at the University of BC. As a forester, he spent 10 years on the Coast, 15 in the Northern Interior and 15 in Grand Forks before coming to the Huscroft mill three years ago.

He’s been in the industry long enough to have seen the government turn over reforestation to private companies in the mid-1970s, a move that made sense because one goal is to make sure the mill maintains a steady supply of logs.

“You do want to manage it so that it’s sustainable,” said Hanson.

J.H. Huscroft’s licence allows the mill to harvest over 75,000 cubic metres of timber each year, about the equivalent of 2,000 truckloads, and buys about 800 more from private companies, as well as the Creston Valley Forest Corporation and the Lower Kootenay Band. It also trades timber with other mills, passing along wood not used at the Erickson mill — cedar, for example, often goes to Salmo’s Porcupine Wood Products Ltd. — and bringing in a product better suited to its needs.

The mill is required to reforest a cut area within two years of harvesting, and monitor the new growth for 12-20 years, until it’s free to grow, no longer competing with other vegetation.

Followup actions may include removing brush around the new trees — which also reduces forest fire risk — and monitoring wildlife activity.

If conditions are perfect, the forest might be ready to log about 50-60 years after replanting, but 80-100 years is normal.

“It’s definitely long-term farming,” said Hanson.

Different cut blocks are designated by their biogeoclimatic zones, which tell foresters what sort of diversity an area requires — even down to the seed used to grow new trees. Seeds are purchased from seed orchards and given to nurseries that grow the seedlings until they’re mature enough to be replanted.

“You have to ensure you’re planting the right trees in the right place,” said Hanson. “In order to do that, you have to make sure they’re grown from the right source.”

And every cut block is different, with any given area rarely populated by a single variety. So several different types of trees will be replanted to mimic the original selection as closely as possible.

“You don’t want to create a monoculture,” said Hanson.

The reforestation practices used by J.H. Huscroft are certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative, which requires independent audits to prove compliance with sustainable management principles protecting water quality, biodiversity, wildlife habitat and at-risk species.

“There are lots of people who disagree with some parts of it, but the rules are in place,” said Hanson.

Those rules have helped much of the general public to recognize the good practices in the industry — clearcuts are a thing of the past — which are equally appreciated by those involved.

“Most of the guys I’ve worked with over the years I would call environmentalists,” Hanson said. “They’re just as appalled by bad practices.”

Guardian angel, God help resident reach 100

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Johnny Wanlin attributes his 100 years of life to a guardian angel and his regular conversations with God. “He (God) always called me Buster. I don’t know why.”

Born to parents of Alsace-Lorraine heritage in Saskatchewan in 1915, Jean Jacques Joseph Wanlin has lived through much of what baby boomers think of as recent history. He was a baby in the First World War, rode the rails in the Great Depression and served in the Second World War, an experience he still can’t bring himself to talk about.

He has worked as a horse wrangler, barber, dam builder, steam railroad engineer, Western Messenger operator, hamburger stand owner and too many other jobs to talk about. For most of his life he supplemented his income by buying and selling land and buildings.

“If I am reincarnated I will be a real estate guy and be a millionaire,” he laughed on Feb. 12, two days before a small party of family and friends celebrated his 100th birthday.

Wanlin’s belief in a guardian angel has early roots. As a child, he was told the story of his first brush with danger. At the age of three months, little Johnny was napping in a wicker buggy, parked in the sun just outside the family farmhouse while his mother worked nearby.

“My father had built the house on a hill, and below was a huge slough that filled with water that spring,” he recalled. “One of my sisters pried open the brake on the carriage — to ‘give him a ride’ — and it went rolling down the hill and into the water.”

His panic-stricken mother couldn’t reach the floating carriage without endangering her own life. She raced to get help and soon Johnny’s uncle was wading out into the slough to pull the baby to safety.

“Ever since then I know my angel has been looking after me,” he said.

At the age of 15 and with the Depression looming, Wanlin hopped freight trains and traveled around Western Canada. He once arrived at the famed Douglas Lake Cattle Company near Merritt. He asked for work and was scoffed at when he revealed his age.

“Come back when you are 20,” he was told.

“And bring a horse. This is a cattle ranch.”

Back in Saskatchewan, he continued to ride the rails with hoboes in search of work.

“We were in a hobo camp one night and the police came and started arresting some of the men,” he said. “I went up to one and asked to be arrested but I was told, ‘We are only taking men today.’

“I really wanted to know what being inside a jail was like so I asked him what I needed to do to get arrested. He said I could take a swing at him, but I didn’t want to do that. I just wanted to get a look inside for maybe a month. I never did get another chance.”

With the vague possibility of work awaiting at Douglas Lake Ranch, Wanlin caught a wild horse and trained it to the point he could ride it and make it jump over fences.

He headed westward again, this time on horseback, and little more than a week later was hired on as a cowhand. About a year later he put in is resignation.

“They wanted to know why,” he said. “I said I had made enough money to buy a Harley and was going to look for other work. I told them to keep the horse and I rode off on my new used HarleyDavidson motorcycle.”

Johnny Wanlin He headed to Calgary, where he took a course and became a barber.

“I opened a shop and I was reliable,” he said. “I opened each day and worked all the way through.

People could count on me.”

One day a customer was in his chair, bemoaning a real estate opportunity that was beyond his finances. He had the chance to purchase an acre of land on the south side of Calgary for $150.

Wanlin asked if the customer minded if he pursued the opportunity himself. He got the goahead and soon owned his first piece of land. He sold it later for $1,200 and used the profits to buy other land. Eventually he was buying buildings, too. When the chance came to make a profit, he sold parcels and reinvested.

When asked about his service in the Second World War his smile fades.

“I don’t talk about that, I never have,” he said, tears rolling down

his cheeks. “I saw too much death.

There are no winners in war. I’d do it all again, though. That’s just the kind of guy I am.”

Later, he mentions that when he went to an enlistment office, he was told he would be a foot soldier.

“I told them I didn’t want to do that, that I would be AWOL all the time. And when they wouldn’t put me into something else I left.”

Military police tracked him down near Vancouver and advised him that he wouldn’t get another chance — sign up or go to jail. He enlisted.

In 1991, Wanlin came to Creston to “retire”, put off by Calgary, which “had become a rat race.” It also gave him the chance to pursue another interest — ultralight airplanes. No licence is required for ultralights — “It’s nice to have insurance though!” He has owned three and last flew when he was 90.

At the age of 74 he had his aircraft fitted with a larger fuel tank and flew from Creston to Saskatchewan.

He admits to being saved at least once on a flight when his guardian angel intervened after a control stick became stuck.

“I turned off the engine key and asked God for his help with that one,” he smiled.

Asked about the highlight of his life, he points tearily to a photo display that forms a tribute to his late wife, who pops up regularly in his conversations.

“She was the best thing that ever happened to me. She could be a pain in the neck, though.”

His first wife, whom he married when he was 18 and she was 17, died of an illness nine years later.

It’s not only his faith that has kept him alive and healthy, Wanlin said. He never enjoyed coffee and had his fill of booze in the army.

The offer of a cigarette from a fellow in Vancouver when he was in his 20s cured him of any desire to be a smoker, too.

“He gave me one and I said, ‘Holy smoke, this smells like poop! Give me some papers and I can roll you a bunch more! ‘I think I hurt his feelings, but I never smoked any more.”

If 100 years seems like a long life, it isn’t quite long enough yet for Wanlin. His mother lived to the age of 97. He had an uncle who lived to

Forty years of memories

Watching the recent 40th anniversary Saturday Night Live special was like taking a ride through two-thirds of my life. The series started when I was 20 and I still remember the buzz it created in my age group. It wasn’t long before John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris, Laraine Newman and Chevy Chase became familiar names.

I think part of the initial interest came from the program’s unique blend of skits and music. Variety shows were still common, but SNL drew us to the television late each Saturday night for the political humour, the outrageous characters portrayed in the skits, the great band and musical guests and a stream of guest hosts that started out with the great George Carlin.

Those early years seemed to reflect our own tumultuous lives.

Within five years, all of the original cast had moved on and producer Lorne Michaels — known previously to Canadian TV viewers as the guy who had teamed up with Hart Pomerantz to create a short-lived but very funny show here in Canada — packed it in, too.

The 1981 cast included names like Brian Doyle-Murray, Robin Duke, Christine Ebersole and Gilbert Gottfried. It suffered our scorn, not so much for what it did on the screen, but for what it wasn’t. We likely would have abandoned SNL entirely if not for one shining light. The genius of Eddie Murphy shone like a comet in the dark sky and it was very likely his presence that allowed the show to survive until Michaels returned to the helm five years later.

Make no mistake about it — SNL was my generation’s show. It was woven so tightly into our culture that it is almost unimaginable to think what life would have been without it.

In the late 1980s Angela and I were flying back from New York and in our stopover in Minneapolis I spotted a

familiar face. Al Franken was wandering along with a carry-on bag and I couldn’t help but keep an eye on him.

My eyes widen as he caught sight of a popular SNL guest host from season 2, football star Fran Tarkenton.

Lorne Eckersley Franken was always one of my favourites. He was never a member of the repertory cast, but he was always funny as a featured player and was widely considered to be one of the series’ most brilliant writers. I sidled over to listen to his conversation with Tarkenton and heard them reminisce about the show he had hosted and, more interestingly, the party that followed afterward.

One can only imagine how a future hall of fame quarterback must have felt in the presence of the likes of Belushi, whose partying ways would soon claim his life.

The 40th anniversary show served as a reminder of what an incredible launching pad SNL has been. No other series had provided such a consistent springboard for talent. Dana Carvey, Jim Belushi, Billy Crystal, Joan Cusack, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Elliot, Jimmy Fallon, Chris Farley, Will Farrell, Tina Fay, Janeane Garofalo, Phil Hartman, Julie Louis-Dreyfus, Jon Lovitz, Norm Macdonald, Dennis Miller, Mike Meyers, Randy Quaid, Chris Rock, Paul Shaffer, Martin Short, Sarah Silverman, David Spade, Ben Stiller, Amy Poehler, Damon Wayans — the list is ridiculous for its length and quality.

What other show could make reference not once, but twice, to the passing of Jon Lovitz, who was sitting in the audience? What other show could have given the brilliant Gilda Radner the chance to shine before she was taken by cancer?

What other show could have given home to the monstrous ego of Chevy Chase or the apparently limitless talents of Jimmy Fallon?

As I made my way through a second viewing of the anniversary show last week I found myself with a smile that just wouldn’t go away. How great to think back to the days of the Blues Brothers, the cheeseburger sketches, the Weekend Update, the very funny Father Guido Sarducci, Radner’s frighteningly accurate singer Candy Slice or her hilarious Roseanne Roseannadanna, the ridiculous shark at the door, Dan Aykroyd’s Bass-OMatic or John Belushi’s “Well, excuuuuuse me!”?

I commented to Angela that it felt surprising how many memorable episodes we had watched with friends Gene (“Oh, Pepper Boy!”) Zackowski and Tanna Patterson, including one that didn’t make the anniversary show. We were at our house in Riverview when musical guest Sinead O’Connor performed.

Never one to miss an opportunity, she sang with gut-wrenching angst.

Then, looking straight into the camera, she held up a photo of the Pope of the day and tore it in half.

“Well, that’s gonna make the news,” one of us said.

It’s remarkable in this time of competition from so many angles that SNL continues. It remains (along with Sesame Street, I am proud to say) a touchstone for my generation. I don’t watch it (or Sesame Street, for that matter) often any more, but it is a comfort to know it still exists. May it outlive me.

Lorne Eckersley is the publisher of the Creston Valley Advance.

Bill 51 will harm rights and freedom To the Editor: I don’t recall signing anything that gives the current Harper Conservative government the right to give away my freedom as a Canadian. I don’t recall directing my Kootenay-Columbia MP to restrict my freedoms as a Canadian so that perceived terrorist activities can be curtailed. Did we pass martial law and I missed the news that night? Or was the media mesmerized by a loss of human rights in another country and felt that story superseded my need to know about what was going on right here in my nation? Either way, true to recent form, there has been no “real” debate in the House of Commons regarding the details of the bill and that very much concerns me. We appear to have a prime minister who is using fear-mongering to achieve his own agenda. It certainly is not my agenda. Or my neighbour’s. It is a Stephen Harper agenda. Much of what has transpired in Ottawa in recent years has been legislation of this type.

So why should I be concerned about this, you ask?

With Bill 51, I have now a newfound concern about what I say in private as well as in public. Will it place me on a watchlist? Should I monitor what sites I visit on the Internet because I may be invaded by CSIS in what I thought was the privacy of my own home? Should I listen for telltale “clicks” on my home phone indicating that I am being tapped by federal authorities? Should I be “on guard for thee” — and by that I am referring to avoidance and covering up of my opinions in case Big Brother is watching and poised to enter my home, seize my computer and place me under arrest because I am making antigovernment comments? Because I could be perceived to be fraternizing with what the government considers to be dangerous elements?

My Canada is gone. Not by the actions of a few who are supposedly

OPINION LINE

threatening my freedom. But by the very head of our own government who is hell-bent to destroy everything Canada stands for. Everything that past and current veterans have fought to protect.

Freedom. Rights. Democratic honesty.

We are indeed under attack and drastic means are necessary. By that, I am referring to getting this person who thinks he is above the rest of us out. Out of office, out of Parliament and out of politics.

And in so doing, we will rid ourselves of the American influence on behalf of whom he postures.

Yes, it is time for more careful scrutiny. For seeing intent before intent becomes reality. But it was time for this three terms ago. Before we allowed this person to claim such powers and do so much damage. To use lies and subterfuge to take away our freedoms. It is my sincere hope that Canadians will look back on this dark time and realize how quickly and how without defense we can lose everything.

Zen teacher will miss pastor’s column To the Editor: I notice in the Feb. 5 issue that Shelley Stickel-Miles is leaving Creston and that her Opening to Grace column will be discontinued. I will miss reading her column, as I am sure her congregation will miss her. She has such a down-to-earth real-world approach to Christianity, and I enjoy what she has to say about how a spiritual tradition can inform the decisions we make about every detail of our lives. She, and her words, will be missed.

I wish her a wonderful and fulfilling retirement in Japan that continues to deepen her understanding of her religion.

Teens need space to be teens

To the Editor: The Creston Valley doesn’t have a nice, safe space for teens to go. The library is closed on Sundays and Mondays, and demands quiet.

Without a place to go, teens loiter outside businesses or wander around.

Many teens in Creston get into trouble with drugs and alcohol, and having a designated, drug-free teen space would stop young teens from falling in with the wrong crowd. A teen space would give teens somewhere to meet, socialize and make friends. It would be a place where they could go to spend a few hours in town before an event or while parents are at work. Teens could use the space to get together and study, do homework, or work on group projects.

The Creston area’s teens need a place to go and be teens without getting in trouble or bothering anyone, and this teen space would be exactly that. Teens could have a safe, warm place to go if they can’t be at home, even overnight. It would be a place for self-expression, art and music. We would have a place to call our own, to learn, laugh and grow in, away from danger and bad influences.

Teens give a lot to the community.

We provide a work force, keeping grocery stores, restaurants and coffee shops open. We support local businesses by spending money and attract new ones. Teens bring energy, art, creativity and vitality to the town. Most teens use their enthusiasm for good, volunteering and making the community better.

We are the future of the Creston area. We bring progress, forward thinking and fresh ideas, as well as being the next generation of business owners, doctors, nurses, teachers and parents. A teen space would help teens to reach their potential, growing up to be people who improve the world.

Tips on planting and spraying

The phone at the nursery office rings a little more with the warmer weather. Some folks are tracking down specific stock; others have questions regarding plant health care. As per usual, I hope to open the nursery up

Nursery Notes Evan Davies around the third week of March. Many folks are wondering, “When’s a good time to start pruning or planting?” and “What do I need to spray on the fruit trees?”

In answer to these questions, I might say that you could prune anytime after we are out of the deep freeze. I schedule my fruit tree pruning December through February when I have some time, regardless of whether it is the best time.

www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca 7

Keep in mind some plants are grown specifically for their spring flowers so we should really prune them after they flower. Pruning them over winter means you would be removing half the floral display.

Examples of these might be the yellow flowering forsythia or an ornamental crabapple tree.

Most fruit trees produce an overabundance of flowers and require some pruning over winter for good branch structure and fruit set. You are looking to increase the sunlight level getting into the tree. More sunshine means more and better quality fruit, and less disease. We remove or prune back branches that are diseased, crossed over, backwards, straight up and some that are simply too close together. There are some really neat how-to videos on YouTube nowadays.

Spring planting can begin as soon as the ground has thawed and the moisture level has fallen below saturation.

We see a lot of planting from the end of March through the end of May. Bareroot fruit trees do well planted anytime in April and even early May before they leaf out. However, container-grown (potted) trees and shrubs can be planted

anytime through the growing season, provided you are around to help get them established.

As for the matter of spraying, your peaches and nectarine trees should really have copper on them to protect them from the peach leaf curl disease. Copper powder or Bordeaux mix applied to the whole tree over winter should allow your trees to grow healthy and productive in spring. Other fruit trees can have a lime sulphur and dormant oil mix sprayed on them anytime up to the point when they begin to flower. The sulphur smells like rotten eggs but is relatively harmless. Spray your apricots with the dormant oil first, then add the lime sulphur part to the mix for all the other trees. Some apricot varieties are “allergic” to the sulphur. Spray them to the point of runoff and, where possible, aim for a window when you have a few dry days and overnight temperatures above freezing.

Remember that backyard horticulture isn’t an exact science. To most people it is a really enjoyable hobby. I think of it as part of a healthy outdoors lifestyle.

Cats Are Not Considered Dependants For Tax Purposes Busting The Top 10 Tax Myths

Friends and neighbours may often be a source of great advice but when it comes to taxes, it’s best to leave the advice to the experts. The following are some common tax myths and guidelines to ensure you claim the right credits and deductions: If I receive a tax refund, my return is approved: The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will process your return and send you a refund fairly promptly. However, the CRA also has three years in which to review returns and request follow up paperwork. The review may result in a Notice of Reassessment with a balance owing. For example, if you claimed moving expenses that were not eligible, the CRA will disallow your claim and send you a tax bill.

I earned less than $10,000 so I do not have to file a tax return: Even if you earned no income, you could be entitled to other credits and benefits that are triggered once you file

Thursday, February 26, 2015 Creston Valley Advance if you forget, misplace or hide a T slip, it will inevitably be uncovered by their matching program and result in a reassessment. If this happens twice in a four-year period, you will face a stiff penalty.

a tax return. For example, if you turn 19 before April 2016 you could qualify for the quarterly GST/HST amount. If you did earn an income, regardless of how little, you should receive a refund if you had tax withheld.

I work for myself so I can write it off: You are allowed to claim reasonable business expenses incurred to earn your income if you are self-employed. However, the key word is reasonable. If you only have one internet connection and work at home, the CRA will expect there to be some personal use so you cannot claim 100 per cent of expenses.

And if you are claiming 90 per cent of your auto expenses, the CRA will most likely ask to review your logbook.

Maternity leave income is not taxable: Congratulations on becoming parents! Amidst the hustle and bustle of feeding, changing and caring for the baby, don’t forget that you are required to report your Employment Insurance (EI) benefits as income. In most cases, Service Canada withholds less than your marginal rate so you may have tax obligations at the end of the year..

Mothers are required to claim the children first: The lower income spouse is required to claim childcare expenses whether it is the mother or father. Either parent can claim the credit for children uner 18.

My pets are considered my dependants so I can claim their pet food: It depends on if your pet is actually working. Most pets will not qualify. However, there are the odd exceptions. A farmer was once allowed to claim cat and dog food because they were outdoor pets that were acquired to keep wildlife away from their blueberries. Zeitz v. The Queen [2002] 4 C.T.C. 2292.

If I work outside of the country, I do not need to file a tax return: If you are working outside of the country but have substantial residential ties to Canada still, you will be required to file a Canadian tax return. The Canadian tax system is based on residency. If you are emigrating, you should indicate your date of exit on your last tax return.

Mortgage interest on your personal residence is a tax deduction: This is only true for self-employed Canadians who work from home. They are allowed to claim a percentage of their mortgage insurance as a business expense. For everyone else, the tax benefit of owning a home comes when you sell. Every Canadian receives a capital gains exemption on the sales of their principal residence.

Tips are not considered income: For servers, tips may be as much as 200-400 per cent of their income. Servers and others working in the hospitality industry are required to record and report their tips on their tax return.

I don’t need to worry about slips mailed to me at the wrong address: You are required to report all sources of income in the year it was earned. The CRA receives copies of all the T slips issued, so

What came first?

Top Five Commonly Overlooked Tax Tips

Medical expenses: If you pay a healthcare premium through payroll deduction, this is considered a medical expense as well as any deductibles or out-of-pocket expenses that are not covered by your plan. If you purchase healthcare insurance to travel, this can also be claimed as a medical expense.

Disability tax credit: Many taxpayers feel they do not qualify but it may be worth asking your doctor to review the criteria on the T2201 medical disability form. This form is submitted to the CRA and they will determine whether you qualify.

Report your income: Any child under 18 who works part or full time during the summer months may be entitled to a refund of taxes paid if

their income is below the basic personal amount. Even if no tax is deducted, reporting the income will increase the child’s RRSP contribution limit for future years.

Get your benefits: Those turning 19 before April 1, 2016 should be filing a 2014 tax return even if they had no income. This will allow them to collect the GST/HST credit for the quarter following their 19th birthday.

Determining dependants: Even with people names, pets are NOT dependants.

But if your parents live with you, are over 65 and have a relatively low income, you may be able to claim them as dependants.

Mountains are mountains, rivers are rivers before and after Zen practice

In the last A Zen’s Eye View column (“Listen to mountains and rivers”, Feb. 12) I spoke of how a Song dynasty poet, following a night of meditation, experienced the mountains as being beyond

Time and money are scarce. We have to struggle get by.

That’s the first “mountains are mountains and rivers are rivers,” in which we are limited by our view. But at some point we wake up to the realization that there must be another way of living this life. This is where Zen practice begins.

Through practice we realize that everything is impermanent. This doesn’t just Kuya Minague mean that over time things change; it means that things the ordinary mountains that he are changing in every moment. usually saw. After he awakened We can’t hold on to anything, not from the dream of his condition- even ourselves. The person we ing, the mountains didn’t look imagined ourselves to be has different, and yet everything was changed. We can’t grasp thought or make breath stay. On one hand completely different.

You may have a feeling for this can be terrifying. If there is what this is like. It’s as if the nothing to grasp; everything will physical world — sounds, forms be lost.

On other hand, impermanence and feelings — evoke a presence that is beyond the two-dimension- means that suffering will pass. al presence we give our ordinary When we realize this, mountains daily lives. We feel like we have are not mountains; rivers are not been here before and yet there is rivers. Impermanence is no longer something here that was always an idea; it’s just the way things here but we never noticed. It’s like are. At this point, we settle into we had been dreaming up to this life as it is. Practice, as something moment and now we are finally special, disappears. There is only life, only mountains and rivers in and fully awake.

In the essay that I’m discussing their pristine beauty. Now we can in this column, “Mountains and fully accept the condition of our Rivers Sutra,” Dogen, a 13th cen- lives and realize that the particutury Zen master and author, is lars, family, job and possessions thinking about another ancient are only vehicles for how we live out our deepest spiritual values.

These words represent three This column is part of a long essay different ways we feel about our on an essay by 13th century Zen lives.

A Zen'sEye View

My answer is not politically correct, but it is historically and theologically correct!

Protestant reformers held firmly to the historicist method of Bible prophecy interpretation, which holds that prophePROPHETIC PRINCIPLES cy starts at the time it was

By Pastor Ian Cotton given and runs continuously until it is complete.

Using this understanding, Creston the following was taught Seventh-day by most reformers: Adventist Church SEE PROPHECIES, PAGE 14

The Creston branch of Wildsight celebrates its 25th anniversary today, well, this year, 2015! Wildsight’s Creston branch had its beginnings a way back prior to 1980. Wow, that’s a long time ago! A lot of changes have taken place since then.

Out There Ed McMackin Creston Wildsight had its roots in a small group of people that included some “tree huggers” who came out of the forest where the air was clean, and concerned citizens from east and west and north and south. On getting together in Creston, they noticed there was, at times, a lot of bad air.

Perhaps, they may have been roaming around town after dark and discovered some foul smelling breezes.

“What’s that smell ?”

“Oh, that’s coming from someone burning garbage when the smoke isn’t so easily seen.” There was a need to alert some of Creston’s “upright” citizens of how toxic it was to burn plastics and what they can do about it. Also a program was introduced to encourage people to install efficient wood stoves.

Then it was discovered a lot of people were forced to take up “stubble smoking”. The practice of burning stubble on the flats caused a lot of serious breathing problems for some people and was a general hazard to everyone who was down wind from the smoke. A local warrior for the cause of clean air even went south of the border and, with the company of another down there, advocate for clean air, campaigned amongst the farmers, groups and government to take to alternative means for dealing with the stubble. With this and other environmental issues, Creston’s very own East Kootenay Environmental Society (EKES) became a reality.

Other early issues included the burning of garbage elsewhere and hauling the ashes to Creston for “burial”.

Having clean water and protecting the watersheds from which most of the drinking water came was a deep con-

OPINION LINE

cern. A significant threat of the time was a 26-mile road with 16 creek crossings with subsequent degrading of the water supply.

There has been more than one attempt to divert the Kootenay, a river flowing with “milk”, but I am not sure about honey. Glacial waters joining the Kootenay, in its upper reaches, give it a greenish, milky tint. EKES was instrumental, along with other groups, in discouraging a second attempt to redirect its waters.

There was (and still is) a need to upgrade timber harvest (logging) practices. Out of this was born the Creston Valley Forest Corporation (Creston Community Forest), which has implemented better ways to log, reducing erosion, among other benefits, in the watercourses. The plan was for it not only to be viable, but also to return profits into the community and the environment to benefit its citizens, both human and wild.

Part of that benefit has resulted in the community forest taking trails into their jurisdiction, under their wing. Today, Wildsight’s Creston branch is still a vital part of the Creston Valley Forest Corporation.

EKES members agreed that a main avenue to protecting our environment was to educate and create awareness of our natural surroundings, of how a healthy environment was (and still is) vital to our wellbeing. Besides putting on programs like slide shows and reports of wildlife research, EKES also sought to create appreciation and awareness of our natural heritage by cooperating in the establishing of local trails, some of them self-guiding with pamphlets on the natural history along the route. Over

the years many volunteers have helped to keep these trails maintained.

Joining together with other similar organizations, the Creston environmental society got a new branding — Wildsight (Creston) — joining in with other Wildsight branches, including Kimberley and Golden.

A big thrust of Wildsight at Creston has been education through support of hiking and through creating awareness, with presentations on wolverines, grizzly bears, water, geology, mining history and various individuals’ trips into the wild, both near and far, from Iceland to Antartica and from the top of Sphinx Mountain to the cool waters of the Kootenay River. Over those years, something like 85 programs and pre-

sentations were put on at the Creston Valley Seniors Centre, Rotacrest Hall and at the Tivoli Theatre. Sixty-five speakers, including college professors, research biologists, photographers, mountain climbers, hikers, botanists and naturalists, graced our hallways.

Sometimes attendance topped near 100.

The Creston branch of Wildsight launches into its 26th year continuing on the trail of creating awareness, appreciation and in educating our community in wild ways, in being custodians of our wild places (loss of habitat is the greatest cause in the degrading of the dynamic balance in nature) and acting on it!

Prophecies

Opinion Line apostate Christian church; and •the word “Antichrist” does not denote a blasphemous individual who openly denies and defies God but rather one who opposes Christ by posing as the vicar of Christ.

The reformers were all biblical scholars and understood that the prophecies clearly indicated that the papacy was little horn power of Daniel 7, also mentioned in Revelation 13 and 17, and 2 Thessalonians

vying for position he wrote they were “two halves of Antichrist making up the perfect man of sin between them.” A few of the Reformers who held this underfrom page 12 standing were John Hus, William Tyndale, •time periods in Bible symbolic propheMartin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, John cy are to be understood figuratively, not litCalvin, John Knox and Thomas Cranmer. erally, thus a “day” represents a literal year; It is very clear that from the 12th to 18th •the “temple” in which the Antichrist centuries the incriminating finger of Bible sits is not literal Jerusalem but rather an prophecy clearly pointed out the bishop of Rome as the Antichrist.

To quote some early church confessions of faith: Presbyterian: “The pope of Rome … is that Antichrist, that man of sin … that exalteth himself against … God.” Church of England (Anglican): “The pope ought to be called Antichrist.”

Lutheran: “The pope should be called the real Antichrist.”

As result of such clear Bible teaching, thousands of adherents to the papal system left and embraced the Protestant cause. This naturally caused alarm in the papal system and they knew that somehow this identification must be changed to preserve the papal system.

To this end, a coun. cil was called in 1545 in Trento, Italy, lasting until 1563. Two Jesuit scholars, Alcazar and Ribera, came up with preterism and futurism. Preterism denies predictive prophecy and says that the prophecies are basically history. Futurism says that the prophecies are in the future.

Both deny the possibility of the pope being identified as the Antichrist of Bible prophecy. Surprisingly, both preterism and futurism were accepted by the majority of Protestants in the 19th century. And now the papacy was safe from the pointed accusations of the Bible and the reformers.

It has been said that there is not too much difference today between Catholicism and Protestants. That is true. The change is not on Catholicism’s side, which boasts that they never change, but The new TELUS Fibre Optic Network is so blazing fast you’ll be able rather in Protestantism, which has adopted to download a full music album in 8 seconds flat.* Plus, you can now their understanding!

Youth curlers finish season with ‘funspiel’

BY ANDREW McINNIS Creston Curling Centre

The Creston Curling Centre’s junior curling program had another successful year and it was all capped off on Feb. 14 with a “funspiel” consisting of three four-end games.

The day gave the juniors a chance to put their newly learned skills on display for their family and coaches. They

started in November, learning basic skills and drills, and got the chance to put it all together during the one-day event.

Two teams ended up tying for first place, and two tied for second. In first were Vincent Walker, Raya Terrill, Nic Brauer and Taelyn Austin, coached by Greg Terrill, and Catherine Walker, Isaiah Persad, Brynn Mailhot and Kate Page, coached by Kelly and Dale Moberg.

One of the two teams tied for first place (left, from left): coach Kelly Moberg, Catherine Walker, Isaiah Persad, Brynn Mailhot, Kate Page and coach Dale Moberg. The two teams tied for second: (above, from left) coach Cathy Robinson, Abi Evans, Meredith Walker, Noah Eastman and Rasmus Knudson, and (below, from left) coach Doug Hannah, Alyssa Eastman, Morgan Schmalz, Ryan Neufeld and Hayden Persad.

The second-place teams were Abi Evans, Meredith Walker, Noah Eastman and Rasmus Knudson, coached

by Cathy Robinson, and Alyssa Eastman, Morgan Schmalz, Ryan Neufeld and Hayden Persad, coached by Doug Hannah.

The junior program will resume on Nov. 17 and any kids looking to learn a great winter sport are encouraged to come out and give it a try.

Don’t drive your truck into a watery grave

By Ian Harwood

Spring-like weather means the back woods trails are already beckoning us out here in the west.

While my Driveway colleagues seem to have spent the last month plowing through snow and ice back east, I’m raring to get out there in our beautiful back yard.

However, there are a few things to think about before you head out into the back roads of British Columbia this spring, to find yourself driving through those swollen creeks and rivers.

Think about that water entering areas of your truck, believe me, you would prefer it did not do so! – Your truck’s transmission, transfer case, and front and rear differentials must be vented to compensate for changes in air pressure as temperatures go up and down

when you drive, but when you are driving off road in wet conditions the most likely place for water to enter is through those vents.

Water that gets in contaminates the lubricants that protect parts, and that can lead to bearing and gear damage. To keep water from getting into areas where it should not be is fairly easy.

Attach a rubber hose, or vacuum hose to each vent, and then extend it to a high location on the truck. The length of tubing required will depend on your vehicle, but 30 – 35 centimetres should be enough.

Before you begin, locate the vent on each component. Determine if each vent is a tube or a cap style. If it is a tube style make sure that the hose fits tight and secure it with a small hose clamp, leaving excess hose length to route upwards. Cap type vents are usually screwed in mushroom shaped. Remove the cap from each one by unscrewing it. Use this for a

sample and buy a nipple vent with the same thread size and replace the cap with the nipple.

The new vacuum hose for the transmission and transfer case vents can be secured along the frame or body to the firewall with plastic tie straps (do not over tighten and pinch the hose) and from there up into the engine compartment. Make sure to secure the end.

Leave about 8 centimetres and bend it downward.

The front differential hose is to be routed in a similar fashion but allow enough slack for axle movement. The same goes for the rear differential but instead of running it to the front, direct it up between the bed and the cab of the truck. When you have finished, check the tubing to make sure it is free of kinks and positioned away from hot exhaust or engine parts.

Now you are ready to go through creeks and mud holes with very little chance of water to enter the vents. Water can still enter

Mungall T-Cats down 2-1 in first round pleased by end of child support Bowling clawback

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

BY BILL METCALFE Nelson Star The Nelson-Creston MLA and a poverty advocate are pleased as the provincial government has ended its clawback of child support payments from social assistance and disability payments to single parents.

Under the policy, for example, a single parent with one child who received $946 monthly on income assistance or $1,242 in disability assistance would have the amount of any received child support deducted from that payment.

The Gordon Campbell government initiated the policy shortly after the 2001 election.

This week's change follows an intense public campaign over the past couple of years by anti-poverty and women's groups, with the support of Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall, who is the NDP opposition's social development critic.

“The fact that we are seeing this policy come to an end,” she said, “is a real testament to parents who came forward and shared their stories and worked with community organizations to make it happen.”

Community groups and several legal organizations have stated that the clawback was a violation of a child's right to be supported by both parents. Even some members of the BC Liberal caucus reportedly had problems with it.

A Ministry of Finance press release states that the change will result in an extra $32 million for families over the next three years, and that 5400 children will be affected.

Phyllis Nash, co-chair of the Nelson Committee on Homelessness, has been involved in poverty reduction activities locally since 1977, and she's happy to see this change.

“I am delighted that it was announced. It was about time.” she said. “The stats indicate we have a higher proportion of single parents in Nelson than any place in the province, so that tells us that increasing the income for those families is going to assist in the reduction of poverty.”

BC is the first province to fully exempt child maintenance payments, although several other provinces exempt them partially. The average child support payment in B.C. is $300 per month, according to Mungall.

Following Monday’s game, the Creston Valley Thunder Cats were down 2-1 in the best-of-seven series that kicked off the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Eddie Mountain Division playoffs.

The three games so far (a fourth was scheduled for Tuesday night after press time) were tight, with the Thunder Cats winning Friday 2-1 in overtime, but losing 2-0 on Saturday and 1-0 on Monday.

“Chances both ways were at a premium,” said head coach Jeff Dubois of Friday’s game in Kimberley.

Carson Cartwirght scored for Creston in the second period, with a Kimberley goal tying the score in the third. Connor Ward scored the game-winner unassisted at 2:55 in overtime.

Goalie Brock Lefebvre was a big help to Creston, with 11 saves in the third period, a performance that impressed Dubois in all three games.

Creston’s defence worked hard on Saturday, limiting shots from Kimberley, which had a power-play goal in each of the first two periods.

“You can’t fault the work ethic,” said Dubois. “We just couldn’t get what we needed offensively.”

Both teams’ goaltending remained strong in Creston on Monday, he said, with Kimberley scoring a single power-play goal at 1:44 in the first period. Lefebvre blocked 24 shots, with the Dynamiters’ goalie stopping 25.

Dubois noted that penalties were light in all three games.

“Obviously there’s a mutual dislike between the teams, and that’s what you

sively, which would have a positive effect the rest of the series.

“You stick with the program knowing we’re doing a good job at the defensive end,” he said. “Once you start having success offensively, you find it snowballs from there.”
