After trading the lead for five hours after polls closed, New Democrat Wayne Stetski beat incumbent Conservative David Wilks to become the new member of Parliament for the KootenayColumbia riding.

With a voter turnout of over 73 per cent, Stetski finished with 23,529 votes, 285 over Wilks’s 23,244, in one of the country’s tightest contests. Liberal candidate Don Johnston got 12,315, Green Party candidate Bill Green 4,115, with 63,232 out of 85,653 eligible voters casting ballots in a riding where Conservative votes usually total more than the other parties combined.

The election also saw the federal Liberal Party surge back to power, with prime minister-elect Justin Trudeau’s party earning 184 seats; the Conservatives were toppled from power with only 99 seats.

The NDP trailed with 44, the Bloc Québécois with 10 and the Greens with one, secured by party leader Elizabeth May. “What an interesting evening it’s been,” Stetski told the Cranbrook Daily Townsman.

“I brought two speeches tonight, and I’m not going to give either one of them. It really is too close to call and neither Mr. Wilks or I should be giving a victory speech at this point. ...

The Kunze Gallery has attracted a strong following this year, with visitors making the drive to Wynndel to see the works of a number of local artists.

The gallery is ending the season with a show that might take even the biggest art enthusiasts by surprise.

“We put out a challenge to our artists,” owner Sandy Kunze said recently. “We asked them to create pieces for this show. Di=Verge is the result.”

Artists were challenged to step out of their comfort zone and use different media and styles.

Kunze, a painter and potter, moved away from her large landscape format to paint abstracts. Ann Fetterly, best known for her very creative clothing items, used her artistic side to stitch drawings on canvas, which were then overlaid by cutouts of see-through fabric in various colours.

Bart Bjorkman’s contribution, a wood piece that he laughingly described as a trailer hitch support, drew admiration of its simple beauty.

“I’m not much of a woodworker,” he laughed.

In recent years he has taken cast concrete to a new level with his Legend Rock Concrete business and made lamps and other home decor items from unusual antiques. Puffin Design, a 14th Avenue workshop and gallery operated by Bjorkman and his wife Allison, has been another important addition to the local arts scene.

Maggie Leal-Valias, whose work on display at the gallery

this summer featured manipulated photographic images printed on aluminum, painted an abstract in a style reminiscent of Klimt. Popular Creston painter James McDowell also turned to an abstract form. His daughter-in-law, Lisa, produced large crocheted hangings.

At an opening night reception earlier this month, artists wandered through the gallery,

Postponed fireworks giving big finish to Halloween night

Can-Gel founder Gordon Menard overlooking the Kootenay River.

Company aims for oil spill pollution solution

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Eight years ago Gordon Menard formed a company with an almost inconceivable dream — to prevent oil spills or halt their progress.

“In 1983 I was standing on a ship in the Beaufort Sea and I couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if a major oil spill happened in those Arctic waters,” he said. “It was a helpless feeling, standing there and watching the water.”

He formed his company, Can-Gel, with the belief that “there must be some way to do it. And the only way you could stop [leaking oil from spreading] is to turn it into jelly.”

Menard’s quarter century in the oil business began at the age of 17 in Saskatchewan when he went out to a rig with his brother.

“You can’t tell them you are under 18,” his brother said.

Menard told the boss he was 19, who said workers had to weigh more than 180 pounds.

“I said I weighed 140,” he smiled, “but I can outwork any of you guys.”

He started the next day.

He was working in Alberta, south of Grande Prairie, when he was asked to go to work on his employer’s first offshore drilling rig.

“I said no, but my supervisor said if I didn’t take the offer he would never talk to me again.”

The job led to others and his resume includes stints in the Mediterranean, North and Beaufort seas.

Home base for Menard, Charlotte and their daughter

was Caroline, Alta. After 25 years of working on oil rigs, he was ready for a change. He had already purchased land in the Creston Valley and was buying machinery and purebred cattle, readying himself for a return to farming life.

“I hadn’t been throwing my hard-earned money away,” he said.

With the nagging feeling that there had to be a solution to prevent oil spills, or to better clean up the mess than using dispersants to break up the viscous liquids, he began talks with a chemical company. It already had come up with a solution to create gels, but was using it for other things.

“They never got in the way of what we were doing. They didn’t want anything to do with all the paperwork and bureaucracy necessary for what I wanted to accomplish.”

As he gathered a team around him, including a chemical engineer and Christine Proskow, who had become a friend while she did his paperwork for hay exports, he came up against a routine objection.

“I was told that if you find something you want to do, there are 10 guys in the way who will say you can’t.”

He brought people on board who believed in the idea, and got support from the National Research Council of Canada, which provided money to finance necessary tests.

“When we learned we could gel hydrocarbons in open water, that was exciting,” he said.

Equally important? “We knew the process was reversible.”

Imagine an oil spill on water, where a spray almost instantly turns the oil into a gel, which can then be captured much more easily than the liquid form. Then, almost magically, the oil can be returned to its liquid form.

“I never worried about the dollars. It has always seemed like, ‘We are just doing this.’ I have a lot of money invested out of my own pocket, but I am more interested in seeing my partners benefit from their hard work and belief that we can make a difference in this world.”

Today, Menard said, the company is “right on the edge of making money,” and has been invited to the Global Transformation Forum running this week in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He has also had inquiries from India and met with officials on the West Coast.

“They are talking about us already,” he grinned.

In addition to coming up with the gel process, Menard’s team has designed injection systems that introduce the chemicals to hydrocarbons in tanks on land or sea, quickly slowing or stopping leakage.

Can-Gel (the corporation is called Global Endeavours Ltd.), Menard said, has the potential to change the hydrocarbon transportation industry, and to protect the environment from harmful spills and leaks. Even more important, he said, is that the solution is not harmful to birds or fish, and he has the scientific studies to prove it.

“I am excited about what this can do for the planet, and for our team,” he said. “They are such good people.”

Creston town council took only 24 minutes to run through a short agenda on Oct. 13. It was the shortest meeting in Mayor Ron Toyota’s six years in the chair.

•Get ready for some fireworks.

A high fire hazard summer led to cancellation of the traditional Canada Day fire works display.

Council agreed to use the already purchased pyrotechnic supplies for a special Halloween night display. The fireworks show will start at 8:30 p.m. Oct. 31 at the Creston and District Community Complex.

•Couns. Jen Comer and Jim Elford will be joined by town manager Lou Varela at an economic development workshop in Cranbrook on Oct. 29.

•Council received an invitation to comment on a Ministry of Agriculture’s draft bylaw that sets

standards for agri-tourism and farm retail sales.

•Engineering manager Colin Farynowski got the go-ahead to work on bylaw changes needed to recognize changes in the intensity, duration and frequency of rainstorms.

•Creston Fire Rescue Chief Mike Moore told council that the West Creston Fire Protection Society is donating equipment and a pickup truck to Creston Fire Rescue now that the town is providing fire protection to the area. The items will be returned to the society if the town does not continue to provide the service in the future.

•The town will sponsor a Small Business Week breakfast at a business event. The cost for sponsorship is $150 and Couns. Comer and Joanna Wilson will represent Creston.

•All members of council have agreed to participate in a Business Walk on Oct. 21.

‘Line up, pot’s legal!’

BY WILL JOHNSTON Nelson Star

Kootenay-Columbia Liberal candidate Don Johnston spent Monday evening in the basement of the Hume Hotel in Nelson, surrounded by a smattering of supporters, watching television while results rolled in from across the country. The moment Justin Trudeau was announced as the next prime minister of Canada, the Nelson native pumped his fists in the air and cheered: “Line up, pot’s legal!”

“I’m feeling absolutely blown away and happy,” a tearful Johnston told the Star. “I got my Canada back. When I did my nomination speech in this very hotel the title was ‘I Want My Canada Back’ and I’m so happy to have my Canada back. The possibilities are limitless and for the last nine years we’ve done nothing but limit them. It’s so nice to be free of that weight.”

He said he’s excited Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been defeated.

“Justin ran an amazing campaign, he’s put together an amazing team, and he’s definitely ready. That question is dead and gone. To see this?

This is so good for Canada and so exciting. We’ve all heard there’s no way a Liberal can win in this riding, but our first hope and goal tonight was to have a Liberal government, and now we know we’re going to have that.”

Local support Cheryl Elliot was effusive as well.

“We were all holding our breath, and as soon as the results started coming in from the Maritimes we realized the best possible scenario was starting to happen,” she said. “I think Justin will be an amazing prime minister. He has a lot to learn but he will surround himself with very smart people, and if he doesn’t know something he’ll ask for advice. He’s got a coalition of really bright people guiding him.”

Johnston’s campaign manager, Brian May, was surprised by the results.

“I didn’t expect this. I don’t trust the polls, but people are obviously starting to hear our positive message. Justin stayed on message the whole way through the campaign, he never went negative, and we ran things the same way here.”

Addressing Johnston’s pot proclamation, May said: “Our policy is legalization, the NDP’s is decriminalization.

There’s a big difference.

Legalization means putting controls on it, putting controls on the kids and controls on the gangs and taking control of the situation.”

He said NDP leader Thomas Mulcair’s dismissive comment about Trudeau’s marijuanasmoking past during a debate was “immature” and showed how out of touch the NDP leader is with young voters. He also criticized the local NDP campaign, which he called “a campaign of fear.”

“They said ‘I’m the only one who can beat Harper,’ and that just wasn’t true.”

Cresteramics Society for the Handicapped

May said there were plenty of disenfranchised Conservative voters elsewhere in the riding who would never vote for Green or NDP — a fact he feels some overlooked.

Liberal riding association vice-president Reggie Goldsbury told the Star transparency was the most important issue for him in this election, and said seeing Trudeau elected gives him hope.

“As a young person — I’m 25 — I want to know what my government is responsible for.

There’s been this shroud of secrecy and we’ve had no say, the people of Canada, and that’s why I’m happy to be supporting the Liberal Party.”

Former Nelson mayor Dave Elliot was also there to support Johnston, and said the Liberals are gathering political strength in the Kootenays. “I have a sense we’ve come a long way and Nelson will start to open their eyes to the Liberals. Most people are pretty unhappy with the Conservatives, and I think the main thrust of this election was ‘anyone but Harper’.”

May said he believes the election’s results show a “generational shift.”

“This means a lot of 24-yearolds, 35-year-olds, they got out and made a vote. They got committed, and if they got committed this time it means they’re going to be committed next time. Trudeau shows that generational change. Here’s a 42-year-old winning the election with a great team behind him.”

Johnston feels proud.

“We’re proud of the campaign we ran and we’re proud of the way we did it.”

“We are... I guess I’ll use the word ‘successful’ by two handfuls of votes. It’s too close to call so nobody should be declaring victory at this point. There may well be a judicial recount.”

(A judicial recount takes place if the leading candidates in an electoral district receive the same number of votes after validation, or if they are separated by less than one 1,000th of the total votes cast, a difference of 63 votes in this case.)

Stetski thanked all the volunteers around the riding.

“For Audrey and I to drive into a community and have people waiting for us, has just been such a wonderful experience,” he said.

“For me, I was the regional manager of the Ministry of Environment for the Kootenays, with offices in Cranbrook, Nelson, Revelstoke and Invermere, and so for me, running in this election has been like going home. It’s absolutely been a wonderful adventure.”

Stetski had only positive remarks about his opponents.

“He ran a very good campaign, a good candidate,” he said of Johnston. “Bill Green, excellent human being, great candidate, and Mr. Wilks actually did very well as well. We had 12 debates in 12 communities. He didn’t come to all of them, but he came to most of them.

“Collectively, after many debates, I had people come up to me and say what a great group of candidates we had running in Kootenay-Columbia.”

Stetski said politics is gone now that the campaign is over.

“My job is to represent each constituent of Kootenay-Columbia equally and that is what I will do.” he said. “I will be your strong voice in Ottawa, I will provide you with excellent public service and I will work really hard with both the NDP

Kootenay-Columbia MP-elect Wayne Stetski and a campaign volunteer checking polling updates.

“I was cautiously optimistic going into this and knew that it was probably going to come down to the last couple polls and it did,” Wilks told the Townsman. “Congratulations to Mr. Stetski and I look forward to him working well with the constituency of the new riding of KootenayColumbia.

“It’s been an honour for me to be in Ottawa for the last four and a half years.”

Wilks said he thought that the NDP ran a good campaign, a factor in the close race, as was Leadnow — an independent advocacy organization — targeting this riding very heavily.

“That probably played a significant role,” he said.

Wilks said he had no regrets about his campaign.

“I worked a very hard campaign,” he said. “I think all four of us worked a really hard campaign.

It is what it is, and you move on.”

Some of Stetski’s comments during the campaign were incorrect, Wilks said, but had no impact.

“I needed to make sure the people knew what the proper story was and I did that, and I don’t think that that was something that hurt me at all,” he said.

A cautionary tale

Stephen Harper will go to his grave believing that Canadians made an unforgiveable mistake by rejecting his leadership and policies.

Perhaps more than any of his predecessors, though, he set himself for what will forever be known as a fall of epic proportions. He recreated a government that wasn’t designed to give so much power to one man and he surrounded himself with a small circle of confidantes and advisors to do his bidding. I doubt he would have tolerated anyone saying that by creating a narrow worldview he was in fact distancing himself from too many Canadians, denying them their right to be heard and have their interests represented.

As I sat and watched the results — and can we please, people in the media, stop treating polls like they are news — I couldn’t help but reflect back over what I think historians will eventually refer to as our Ten Lost Years. Stephen Harper was prime minister in one of the most tumultuous times in our, and perhaps the world’s, history and he was so obsessed with tearing apart the old Canada and making it into Canada Inc. that he set back anything that might be considered progress, leaving the mess for his successor to clean up.

This Conservative government was hardly the first to come up against the dreaded expiry date syndrome. But hubris wins when you look new and different and it loses when you start to look old, indifferent and — here’s the great irony for a guy who hates the word — entitled. I first began to think the Conservatives might be in trouble after the Alberta election when I talked to an MP’s constituency assistant and asked if his party got a wakeup call from the stunning NDP win. Oh, no, he said, that can’t hap-

pen federally. We know the numbers. Sheer hubris.

With that in mind, I offer some advice to future prime ministers: Don’t govern like you only work for the people who gave you their

Lorne Eckersley votes. Even people who disagree with you and your policies deserve to be heard and represented.

Don’t forget you live in a country that is a federation. Simply pretending that provinces are irrelevant or inconvenient does not change the fact that they, too, have great responsibilities. Why fear sharing the stage with people you don’t necessarily agree with? A true leader finds strength in diversity and accomplishes most by bringing out the best in people, not the worst. Have regular, open and spirited meetings with premiers — they are closer to their constituents than you are and they have much to offer.

Respect the laws of the country.

They are not an inconvenience and impediment designed to make your job more difficult. You lose moral authority when you pick fights with an independent judiciary and then tell the public you respect law and order. And don’t build more jails when they aren’t needed, just so you can look like the tough guy.

Don’t underestimate the public.

Repeating the same words and the same lies over and over again does not make them true, even if it might work over the short term. Don’t cre-

ate a deficit when you inherit a surplus, run up record debts, operate in deficit for seven years and then run an election campaign that boasts about your brilliant economic acumen. You might have a special ability to blot out the recent past but don’t assume others do too.

Few of the wars fought in the post-Hitler era have had the results the western world would have liked. It’s time we starting learning from past mistakes.

Work toward fostering a diverse economy that gives Canadians a sense of self-sufficiency and selfworth. Fifty years ago there was talk about how we should no longer be seen as hewers of wood and haulers of water. We should not see ourselves as being only as wealthy as our non-renewable exports allow us to be. Don’t pay oil companies to destroy the environment as they scramble to maximize the value of the stuff in the ground before it becomes worthless. If you are going to pay corporations at all (in the form of subsidies and tax breaks) make it for being innovative, creative and environmentally responsible. Destroying boreal forests, poisoning water and strip-mining liquid bitumen does not count.

Do not, repeat, do not, work to convince people that their only value is as a cog in the economic engine. The economy is important, but it is not the only thing.

Finally, and most important of all, do not try accomplish what you want by creating and fostering fear. Like it or not, you will not get the best out of people by keeping them fearful.

We live in a country whose geography and resources give us a special advantage in this world. Don’t govern like you created that advantage.

Wednesday lunches are continuing To the Editor: In January 2001, Meta Beduz, Anne Page Hepher and I started the Wednesday lunch program at Trinity United Church for the lonely and less fortunate. We served hot lunches for eight months of the year. In 2003, when the Creston Valley Gleaners Society became one of our supporters, we were able to make bag lunches for the four summer months so we became a year-round operation. Since then, the number of people who come for lunch continues to increase and we now expect over 30 hungry people each week.

We are sorry that Trinity United Church had the fire and we lost the hall for our lunches. On behalf of our patrons, we want to thank Trinity United Church for being there for us the past 14 years. The good news is that last week we served a hot lunch to 35 people at the Creston Valley Seniors Association hall on Canyon Street and we hope to be there until Trinity United Church is reopened.

These lunches would not be possible without the support of Gleaners, Harvest Share, the individuals who choose to donate to us and, of course, the volunteers who work so hard each week to prepare the food.

Thanks to all of you.

Linda Price, Co-ordinator Wednesday Lunch Program

School board needs to hear from parents To the Editor: (Re: District Report: “Consequences of Choice”, Oct. 8) I just finished reading the column

by School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) Supt. Jeff Jones. The column outlined legislation that provided parents the right to send their children to any school they want, as opposed to the school in the neighborhood in which they reside, and the obligation of the district to comply with these requests.

The column seemed to imply that many of the current problems in our schools this year have been caused, at least in part, by people taking advantage of these obligations. Problems such as three-grade split classes in elementary schools, classes larger than allowed by legislation, closed libraries, insufficient supports for students, untenable class compositions that result in teachers having to spend too much time managing classes instead of teaching, and so on. It seemed to attribute these problems, partly, to those who choose to send their students to schools outside of their catchment area, those who enroll their students in specialty programs and those who have students taking part in exchange programs.

However, at the Sept. 30 school board meeting, the district reported a $2.3 million surplus.

www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca 7

OpiniOn Line

Something I find disturbing about this seemingly inconceivable situation is that, so far this year, I have not seen one parent attend a school board meeting in Creston. School board meetings are open to the public and although most take place in Nelson, they are videoconferenced to the Creston Education Centre. Each meeting provides opportunities for the public to comment on issues directly to the trustees and senior management of the school district. And if you hang around until the end, there is always a time set aside for questions from the public, as well. Meetings are every second Tuesday. The next one is on Oct. 27, then Nov. 10 and so on.

The complete schedule can be found online at sd8.bc.ca.

If you have concerns about the education system that your child is a part of, come on out and have your thoughts heard by those who can make changes.

Doug Kunzelman, President Creston Valley Teachers’ Association

District has surplus, but not enough teachers To the Editor: (Re: This is the Life: “Making it work”, Oct. 1 Advance and Oct. 9 Nelson Star) The column penned by Lorne Eckersley focused on the recent (and ongoing) challenges experienced by L.V. Rogers Secondary School in Nelson and Prince Charles Secondary School in Creston. Eckersley is correct in that September is usually somewhat unsettled as schools adjust to the number of students in seats as compared to those that were projected to be there. However, in my 33 years as a teacher I have never seen anything of this magnitude.

The schools’ projected numbers form the basis of funding that the district provides for each school’s staffing. Staffing has been based on a ratio of 22 students for kindergarten, 24 students to one teacher for Grades 1-3 and 30 students to one teacher for Grades 4-12. At face value, this may seem like a fair and reasonable formula until one begins to look at all the factors that come to play in determining the actual calculations. The staffing ratio includes all non-enrolling teachers in the buildings: learning assistance/special ed teachers, teacher librarians, counsellors and administrators that teach part-time. In order for schools to have the non-enrolling teachers, who provide invaluable services to students, classrooms are then loaded with more students. This is not just an LVR or PCSS issue; this is across the district, where schools are left with very few seats vacant.

Anyone moving into the area may be out of luck if they have children of school age wanting to attend their neighborhood school.

At the school board meeting on Sept. 30, it was announced that the district has $2.3 million as a surplus going into this school year. We will hear that part of this needs to be allocated to a contingency fund for emergent needs. Providing proper educational opportunities for all our K-12 students should be considered emergent, along with replacing absent

staff, as this past year saw schools and students negatively impacted because teachers and/or educational assistants were frequently not replaced when they were absent from work.

How many of your children in the school system are in split or multigrade classes? At the secondary school level, how are teachers supposed to provide a full and meaningful education to your children when, because of budgetary issues, they are forced to have different grade levels going on in the same class at the same time? This is the reality in our schools.

Based on this large surplus, future budgets need to ensure that more district funding be allocated for those directly responsible for educating the students and less for additional administration.

The “making do” scenario will not address the reality of LVR having to try to figure out how to staff the 11 classes in the second semester that currently are on the board without a teacher assigned to them. What is the school to tell students and parents?

Take online courses or perhaps see if you can get into a neighboring district? Parents and the public in general should be asking questions to trustees and senior administration in the district about how they have $2.3 million extra, yet there are classes of students that do not have teachers assigned to them.

Paul Boscariol, President Nelson District Teachers’ Association

Ferry landing recreation site work progressing To the Editor: “No media is bad media.” Right?

The ferry landing has definitely been the buzz around town this last week.

I’m sure many can relate to the sinking feeling I felt when I saw those photos of the beautiful fire ring bent like a pretzel and discarded in the parking area. I heard it related that there was a lynch mob on social media.

However it occurred, a youth stepped forward, taking responsibility for the group who did the vandalism.

A parent drove him to Comfort Welding where they paid to have the fire pit repaired and reinstalled. The next day, a group of students were at the site rock picking, raking and spreading grass seed, and the beautiful piece of art had already been returned to its former glory.

The Trails for Creston Valley Society and the dozens of volunteers who have been involved with getting the site where it is today extend their appreciation to the community, the regional directors and law enforcement officials for the responses to help remedy this destructive behaviour.

Our goal is to continue to make this a safe, clean, beautiful space for all user groups, including our youth.

I’m sure we will all enjoy not popping tires on nails from burned pallets, and we will get used to breathing air free of burning rubber.

We are moving towards having pit toilets installed in the spring, just in time for picnic season 2016!

Every birth a miracle, brings feeling of hope

In his essay, “Mountains and Rivers Sutra”, 13th century Zen master Eihei Dogen says, “ ‘In the mountains’ means the blossoming of the entire world.” This phrase,

is a form of consciousness.

Consciousness produces matter. That’s why, by entering fully into our own human consciousness, we can embrace and understand all of space and time.

Through Zen practice, we can rest deeply in consciousness and realize that each detail of our lives is a full expression of that greater consciousness. And this is true for all of creation; it is as true Kuya Minague for a rock or a plant as it is for a human “the blossoming of the entire being. Everything is included world,” comes from a poem in consciousness. That’s why that Prajnatara, a sixth centu- Dogen says that a flower blosry Indian monk, wrote for his soms and the whole world student, Bodhidharma, who opens up. was the first Zen teacher in Anyone who has witnessed China.

world.” Reality is reborn with every flower that blooms.

But in our ordinary daily lives, we somehow place ourselves outside of this reality and don’t really know or understand the mystery of our own existence. There are two kinds of not knowing. In one kind you are in the middle of your life, and you really appreciate your life with all its joys and sorrows. You live fully and know that you are connected to everyone and everything, even though you don’t really understand how and you know you never will understand. That’s one kind of not understanding.

The other kind of not understanding makes us grumpy and brings suffering.

With this kind of not understanding we make everyone around us suffer as well, and we can’t accept not understanding. We think we should understand; we think that someone else does understand. So we make up stories that give us the illusion of understanding. Most world religions are based on these stories.

Suggested practice: Take some time to reflect on how much you don’t understand about the miracle of life. How much of what you think you

Moving Along Together Series 2 • Week 5 Discovering your strongest learning style

This is the fifth of eight articles being sponsored through TAPS as part of a Moving Along Together Program (for people experiencing memory changes and their caregivers). This is funded by a Columbia Basin Trust Social Grant. In this second series we’ll be sharing these ideas to stimulate discussion and inspiration through exploring our understanding of memory, what affects it and some current information on ways to improve or maintain it. See our contact information below for further information about the program.

“I like nonsense: it wakes up the brain cells..” - Dr Seuss.

Any literature on memory enhancement or well being will inevitably describe life changes, healthy habits or interventions that include mind, body and spirit. Short term memory is what we’re exploring. It is built through our senses, so strategies that enhance, promote, build, or strengthen our abilities to pay attention are useful to consider for prevention or when we begin to notice memory changes.

This fifth week at TAPS was based on introducing and discovering what learning style people were strongest in. We use all our senses to pay attention in living this life, yet often we have one sense that we might use more than others. While we are simplifying what is a much more complex process, applying this might have some benefit in terms of individual ways to enhance your memory. Here are some ideas for strong visual or verbal styles.

Visual Something to experiment with: When meeting new people, a strong visual person may notice clothing, hairstyles and facial features and not their name. Link

the person’s name to something that you noticed about them. Harry: great hair, Rick looked sick, Stuart in a suit.

Attach the name to the visual image you have of the person. What pictures do you see in your mind? How can you link things together to make it fun, interesting, impactful? Practice doing this and notice what works for you. The more meaning you attach, the better it might work.

Another idea: To trigger and strengthen your memory for things or events, have you tried putting up written reminder notes in key places: a room, door, cupboard?

Sticky notes in the kitchen, bedroom; or by the front door works for many people. Make larger signs, use colours, or collaged or drawn images ...our brains love to be delighted, and we remember better for it.

Dedicated spot: If you have trouble remembering to take things when you go out, consider picking a spot near the door, put a favourite basket or box where you will see it, and place the things you want to take in it. By making this a habit, repetition will be on your side to stay more aware and thus recall.

Writing things down: Have a specific place to keep a notebook, say by the phone. This helps implant memories and serve as a reminder and reference for you.

Verbal Repetition: When a strong verbal person meets a new person, they could use their best strength by repeating the name of the new person out loud several times.

Recall it a few minutes later and repeat again several times. Talk it through to yourself.

Organize: Keep a journal, jot down conversations, thoughts, experiences and review current and previous day’s entries at breakfast and dinner. If you use a planner keep it in the same spot and take it with you when you leave.

Read out loud: Try to relate information to colours, textures, smells, and tastes. The physical act of rewriting information can help imprint it onto your brain. Even if you’re a visual learner, read out loud what you want to remember. If you can recite it rhythmically, even better.

This column is part of a long essay

on an essay by 13th century Zen master Eihei Dogen and is inspired by the teaching of Norman Fishcher.

It is the voice of the archangel that raises the dead in Christ, and the Lord Himself who shouts it.

This indicates that they are one and the same. Jesus is the one who shouts with the voice of the archangel, or “greatest messenger”, to raise the dead!

HO IS ICHAEL O b v i o u s l y,

By Pastor Ian Cotton angels don’t have the power to resurrect the Creston dead. Only the Creator, who Seventh-day gives life, has Adventist the power to restore it. “For Church as the Father hath life in Questions arise about the true himself; so hath he given to the identity of the biblical Michael the Son to have life in himself. … archangel. Bible commentator Marvel not at this: for the hour is Matthew Henry asserts that coming, in which all that are in Michael is simply another name the graves shall hear his voice, for Jesus Himself. Can we know and shall come forth.” (John 5:26, for sure? The answer is found in 28, 29) In Daniel 10:13-21, an angel the scriptures.

Doing an honest Bible study, identifies Michael as the protector one is led to the inescapable con- of Israel. Daniel refers to Michael clusion that Michael is none other as a “prince of the first rank”. than Jesus, the Creator, God the Later in the vision, in Daniel 12:1, Daniel is informed about the role Son! In the Greek New Testament, of Michael during the “Time of the word “angel” means “messen- the End”, when there will be “disger”, and “arch” means “chief, tress such as has not happened greatest or highest”. So “archan- from the beginning of nations. At gel” simply means “highest or that time Michael, the great prince greatest messenger”. The Hebrew who protects your people, will name Michael means “who is like arise.”

In Revelation, Michael is porGod?”.

Satan wanted to “be like the trayed as leading the heavenly Most High.” (Isaiah 14:14) In hosts, or armies, in the war Revelation 12:7, Satan is opposed against the rebellious Lucifer that

by Michael and his angels, and is took place there. “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his cast out of heaven.

“But the prince of the kingdom angels fought against the dragon; of Persia withstood me one and and the dragon fought and his twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one angels.” (Revelation 12:7) Here of the chief princes, came to help the term “dragon” is a symbolic name for Satan, the leader of evil me.” (Daniel 10:13) It appears at first glance that (verse 9), so it is very safe to Michael is only one of the chief assume that Michael is another princes. This is an unfortunate name for Jesus, the embodiment translation in the King James and leader of good. And there is Version. The word “one” comes more evidence.

The activities of Michael could from the Hebrew word “echad” not be performed by a created which also means “first”.

If we take the term “Michael the being, but only by the power of archangel” and examine the word divinity.

“Michael the archangel” means “archangel”, we see another interesting match. The only other pas- “the greatest messenger who is as sage in the Bible that uses the word God”. It was Jesus, “the image of “archangel” is 1 Thessalonians 4:16. the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15), But look at its context: “For the who brought the greatest message Lord himself shall descend from of hope, the gospel, to our perishing heaven with a shout, with the voice world!

Ian Cotton is the retired pastor of of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in the Creston Seventh-day Adventist Church.

Christ shall rise first.”

Michael is mentioned three times in the book of Daniel — at Daniel 10:13, 10:21 and 12:1 — once as a “great prince who stands up for the children of your people.”

SMALL BUSINESS WEEK How shopping locally can help you and your community Because Community Matters

Submitted by Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce

Supporting local businesses builds stronger, healthier, more vibrant communities.

Think of your favorite shop, restaurant, farm or service provider. We’ll bet it’s a homegrown business. Independent and locally-owned businesses are essential to a vital local economy and community character. They’re where the locals go. They’re owned by our friends and neighbors, our child’s baseball coach or music teacher, the volunteer fire fighter, or maybe even by you. Communityserving businesses are the backbone of local economies, civic life, local charities, and wealth creation for our citizens, as well as a training ground for future generations of entrepreneurs.

consumer spending that happens as employees, business owners and others spend their income in the local economy.

By shifting your spending as little as 10% can lead to increased numbers of local businesses. More local businesses means local job creation, fewer empty buildings and a stronger tax base, and that pays for better public services for your family and better community services for everyone. Local business owners live, work and are invested in your community – just like you!

Put your money where your home is and shop local first.

When you spend money locally studies show $45 for every $100 spent stays within the community and that money recirculates three times! This is known as the multiplier effect. The multiplier is comprised of three elements — direct, indirect, and induced impacts.

Today’s consumers have more shopping options at their disposal than they did in years past. Though the Internet may put the world at one’s fingertips, more and more shoppers are discovering that buying locally makes for a superior shopping experience.

The benefits associated with shopping locally are many, and the following are just a few reasons why shoppers may want to look no further than their own communities when planning their next shopping excursions.

Keeps money in the local economy

Locally-owned businesses often put a larger share of their revenue back into their communities. Small business owners may be more inclined to employ local residents, giving more people in the community solid employment. Business owners may reach out and support other neighborhood efforts, such as fundraising initiatives for charities and schools. By shopping at local stores, you have a hand in supporting these efforts as well.

Save money

When factoring in travel time and the cost of fuel, shopping locally makes more sense than driving to a faraway mall. In addition, repeat customers who establish a rapport with a local business owner may find that such owners are more inclined to price match or work with loyal customers to find lower prices through suppliers.

Direct impact is spending done by a business in the local economy to operate the business, including inventory, utilities, equipment and pay to employees.

Promote entrepreneurship

Small businesses are an essential element to the country’s economic growth. By shopping locally, consumers are showing their support for this important segment of the national economy.

Help establish local pride

Independent shops contribute to the fabric of a community and what makes it special and unique.

Tourists and other visitors will be much more inclined to remember a local shop rather than a big chain in a particular neighbourhood. When travellers want to get a feel for a community, they seek out small, local stores that are much more likely to stock a high percentage of locally-sourced goods.

Attract other businesses

Private and public sector businesses tend to gravitate around anchor stores. Should a local store be successful, banks, restaurants, salons, and other businesses may move in as well.

Shopping locally benefits consumers in various ways, many of which contribute to a healthy local economy.

TF153016

Diversify your home and lifestyle

Shoppers who prefer more unique styles may find local businesses cater to their needs better than large chain stores. Larger retailers offer the same products to customers regardless of where those customers live, so a person in BC may be decorating his or her home with the same furnishings as a person in New Brunswick. But local shops tend to produce more unique items that are not available nationwide.

Indirect impact happens as dollars the local business spent at other area businesses re-circulate.

Induced impact refers to the additional

The Town of Creston wants to say “Thank You” Small and medium size businesses are an important part of British Columbia’s economic engine and this fact certainly holds true in Creston.

The Town would like to celebrate all of the new businesses we’ve seen locate to our community over the past few years. And, for those established businesses with new facelifts - thank you for continuing to invest in our community’s future!

The Town of Creston is OPEN for BUSINESS!

We invite you to visit the Mayor in his office to discuss your ideas about new business or ways to stimulate our local economy.

Mayor Ron Toyota

Buying local has many benefits. But while consumers may know that buying local helps grow the local economy by supporting local business owners and creating jobs, they may not realize the positive impact that buying local can have on the environment as well.

Eco-conscious consumers often go to great lengths to ensure their money is being spent in an environmentally friendly way. But one of the easiest ways to be an eco-friendly consumer is to support local businesses, which tend to benefit the environment in a variety of ways.

• Shopping locally reduces the environmental impact of your purchases.

When buying from a large national chain store, chances are the products you’re purchasing were produced outside of your local community, oftentimes halfway across the globe. That means those products had to be shipped to reach the store shelves in your community. Such shipping leads to greater

fuel consumption and air pollution. But local businesses often buy their supplies from other local businesses, cutting down on shipping and, as a result, benefitting the environment.

• Local businesses often operate from the centre of town. Local businesses typically need less space for their stores, which allows them to set up shop right in the heart of town as opposed to on the town’s outskirts. That makes local businesses more accessible to community residents, who might be able to walk or take a short bike ride to smaller, local businesses. On the contrary, larger chains tend to diversify their offerings and, as a result, need more space. This often pushes them to the fringes of towns, eliminating the possibility of walking to the store. That means consumers will have to drive to the store, increasing their fuel consumption and their carbon footprint as a result.

•

Shopping

employs

your

neighbours, reducing their carbon footprints as well. Another benefit to shopping locally that’s often overlooked is the impact it can have on your neighbours’ carbon footprint.

Local businesses often employ members of the community, which translates to shorter commutes, less highway congestion and less fuel consumption. So while shopping locally reduces your carbon footprint, it’s also helping members of your community reduce their own potentially negative impact on the environment.

• Shopping locally can protect local wildlife. Many people prefer to buy locally grown foods because they feel such foods are more fresh and buying locally grown foods reduces fuel consumption. Those things are true, but buying locally grown foods also can help protect local wildlife.

When local farms can afford to stay in operation, local farmers are far less likely to sell their lands to developers. That can help protect the habitats of local wildlife.

benefits all of us and an easy way to do just that is to make local purchases and keep dollars close to home.”

Brousseau shares four ways small businesses can compete in a world of giants and attract local shoppers:

1. Unbeatable customer service. Big box stores can often be impersonal, but smaller businesses have the potential to create a connection with each customer, providing an unmatchable service experience to keep customers coming back again and again.

4. Offer promotions. Deals aren’t just for the big guys and small business promotions don’t have to undercut chain stores.

Sometimes a gift with purchase or a 2 for 1 can go a long way. Apps like YP Shopwise can be a great way to promote local deals.

Participate in Shop The Neighbourhood.

This free national initiative of Yellow Pages includes a large-scale awareness campaign designed to encourage local shopping.

More information on how to participate is available at www.yp.ca.

2. Niche market focus. When small businesses focus their efforts on a specific niche, they can offer a high-quality product superior to their larger counterparts. You have the opportunity to work directly with customers to meet their individual needs.

3. Quick adaptation. Less red tape and a smaller team makes room for innovation. Small businesses can quickly change direction in response to adversity or opportunity, giving you a leg up in areas like new media and customer demand.

Small BuSineSS Week Small business tips to boost digital presence customers to find you:

• Get a website and keep it updated. Opening hours, contact information and address need to be current and where possible, photos and videos of your business and products or services are great to help drive traffic.

• Put your business on social media. Create a Facebook Business page instead of using your personal Facebook page.

THANK YOU TO ALL THE BUSINESSES THAT SERVE THE CRESTON VALLEY!

• Take advantage of free digital products often offered by popular websites and apps, such as Yellow Pages, to boost your business’s online presence.

Studies show that it’s hard to keep up – a report by the Canadian Internet Registration Authority shows that three quarters of us research purchases online. Despite this, less than half of small businesses in Canada have an online presence.

“Few people will argue against the benefits of local shopping, but businesses should not ignore the convenience of online shopping for the average consumer,” says Paul Brousseau of vice-president of brand communications for Yellow Pages. “Small businesses in particular, need effective ways to reach potential customers.”

The deep blue and black Steller’s jay — named for German naturalist Georg Wilhelm Steller, the first European to record them in 1741 — at the feeder.

Ed McMackin

Welcome to our new veterinarian

Dr. Katrina Neufeld

A

t a young age, I knew that I wanted to become a veterinarian, and am very excited to start my career at the Creston Veterinary Hospital.

Born and raised in Vancouver, BC, my family always included an assortment of furry critters, instilling in me a love for animals at a young age. After high school, I obtained a Bachelor of Science (Agro-ecology) degree from UBC before attending the Western College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan.

During my post-secondary studies I worked in a variety of small and mixed animal veterinary clinics, was involved in nutrition and animal welfare research with cattle (beef and dairy) and swine, and volunteered in low-cost spay-neuterhealth clinics on reservations in South Dakota.

I

n my spare time I enjoy exploring the outdoors with my crazy rescue mutt Indie, playing various sports (favorites during vet school were ice hockey and inner tube water polo), cooking/ baking, and listening to music.

There is nothing really “the latest” about Steller’s jays. It’s the same old but at the same time not-so-boring story. They seem to be always looking for something to eat. With them, it’s a full-time business, which is also the main business of most other birds, excepting some birds, where, temporarily, the mate feeds its partner who is sitting on a nest.

bird because it is widespread over the province and is the bird most people are most familiar with. It often gets dubbed “blue jay” because of its beautiful dark blue coloring. But the blending into black, at the “shoulders” and on to the top of the crested head, is almost as striking as the blue.

Prairie folk will call foul when they hear the name of their Alberta blue jay applied to a totally different bird. The blue jay, in its lighter blue coat, mellowed by a white breast and some white wing markings, is found across Canada all the way to the Maritimes, and westward is occasionally found nesting in isolated pockets west of the Rockies and in communities in the Kootenay River valleys.

Creston Valley Advance Thursday, October 22, 2015

Jays from page 16

It is more plentiful here in the Creston Valley, during autumn, winter and spring, but certainly not as plentiful as our provincial bird, the Steller’s jay.

The Steller’s jay and the blue jay both have vegetablebased menus, but also scavenge. In autumn they feast on acorns, hazelnuts, filberts and wheat, and cracked corn handouts from bird feeding people. But the shady side of their lifestyle is exposed when you catch them looking for an opportune moment to snitch an egg or naked baby robin from a nest. Often though, a parent robin will respond to a sneaky jay with a lot of bill snapping, jabbing and vocal defamation, to which the cowardly jay erratically flits, this way and that, through the branches, getting out of the danger zone, trying to escape that pointed beak. I have never yet seen a robin, on the spot, mortally wound a Steller’s jay.

Although the meadowlark is distant kin to the Steller’s jay, the latter certainly isn’t a bird of fields or of prairie grasslands. Neither is the crestless gray jay, also known as Canada jay, camp robber. moose bird and whisky jack.

Steller’s jays are truly forest birds, not just any forest, but of

www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca 17

Opinion Line

evergreen or coniferous forests. Where you have evergreen forests it seems you have Steller’s jays. Their whole life style is integrated with coniferous trees. They feed, seek shelter, nest, raise their young and secret themselves in and around coniferous trees.

During autumn they even consume stinkbugs that seem to hang around cedar trees; hence the name, cedar bug.

Most land birds or perching birds, including Steller’s jays, become quite secretive during late July and early August. You may remember not seeing any Steller’s jays or robins and a few other birds during that time. It is not uncommon knowledge that birds moult, and that’s what starts to happen in mid July. It’s a time to address the matter of dress. They don’t become totally featherless or flightless during the moulting time, but they do have enough feathers missing to make flight a bit weak. So they secret themselves for their own protection. So that is why one may not see some birds for a while in mid-summer as they are donning their winter coats.

Steller’s jays appear quite flighty, skittish, nervous and jumpy. And, at times, they are also noisy, squawking over the slightest disturbance. I have seen a chickadee fly to a jay-occupied feeder and fly away, startling the jay to the point it flies into a nearby

tree, leaving the feeder open to another jay. A jay will often land on the metal roof of a feeder and totally lose its balance, flying awkwardly to the nearest tree and scolding me as if I were to blame.

Now for food they just don’t grab anything at first sight.

Once I placed a dead mouse on the ground in the feeder area. A jay saw it and quickly inspected it from about two feet away and took off frantically for a nearby tree. Then it came back and hopped around the mouse, only to fly away again. After repeated performances, it approached a little closer, jumping back each time with a flutter of wings. Finally, it got up enough nerve to grab the mouse, only to drop it immediately. After 10 minutes and much deliberation, it grabbed the mouse and took it away.

However, the Steller’s jay has remained B.C.’s provincial bird in spite of its dark side.

Like the gray jay, the Steller’s jay, at lower elevations, is a familiar sight out there in campsites and on forest trails and at many bird feeders. With them around, one can dispense with an alarm clock as they will wake you up with their raucous calls, especially when the feeder is empty, or wake you up on a spring morning with cat-like sounds and soft whistles and peeps.

Things’ll be great when you’re... at the When Rob and Marg McDougall moved to Creston eight years ago, they did more than simply buy a business — they bought a piece of history, the Downtowner Story and Motor Inn, which photo by turned 50 this fall.

Even residents Brian who haven’t stayed Lawrence there are familiar with the more unique aspects of the Downtowner, with its balcony and staircase leading to the second-floor rooms overlooking a large interior foyer, a hit with guests.

“They like to come and sit here,” said Marg. “In fact, this is what sold us. … It’s totally unexpected.”

“In the summertime, two couples met sitting on this furniture,” said Rob. “One was from California, and one was from Ontario. They each stayed an extra day or two and toured the area together. For at least two summers after that, they met here and then went off on separate vacations.”

Rob, originally from Pentiction, and Marg, from near Geraldton, Ont., met in Saskatchewan, where Rob worked at a chemical plant for nearly 30 years.

“I stayed home and raised my kids,” said Marg. “Once the kids were out of the house, we said, ‘Let’s run away from home.’ ” They had friends in the valley, and it was an easy decision to move here, although it wasn’t quite as easy as simply moving.

“We visited the valley all the time,” said Marg. “The only way to move to paradise was to run a business.”

They bought the Downtowner from Henry and Rosie Schoof. From 19932007, the proprietors owned the business started by a former Creston mayor, Elidio Salvador, and his wife in 1965, after transforming Creston’s largest garage into a hotel.

“Rock, stucco and cedar panelling combine gracefully to provide an attractive front to the two-story building. … The portico is partially finished in knotty pine, as is the full windowed office in front,” said the Oct. 7, 1965,

“The hallway leads to the lower floor units and a large foyer, decorated in attractive colours and lamps. This leads to a banquet room which has seating capacity for

100 persons and which can also be used for a meeting room and sample room.”

The article noted that the stairway to the upper rooms also led to a sundeck, later built over to become the owners’ suite.

Bathrooms featured heat lamps, exhaust fans and electric razor outlets.

“Each of the well-appointed rooms has wall-to-wall carpeting, walnut finished furniture, telephone, TV and clock radio,” the article continued. “Excellent soundproofing and double windows have been installed.”

T-Cats enjoy back-to-back wins over Fernie

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

The Creston Valley Thunder Cats remain in second place in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Eddie Mountain Division following back-to-back wins over the third-place Fernie Ghostriders on the weekend.

Seniors CRESTON VALLEY SENIORS ASSOCIATION Sept. 28 dart scores: Ladies: Connie Opsahl, 89; Lucy Jefferson, 83; Dot Eisenhut, 74. Men: Paul Coates, 95; Don Schwab, 84; Chris Havstein, 79.

Creston edged Fernie 2-1 in Saturday’s home game, but the 3-2 win on Friday in Fernie wasn’t the team’s best effort.

“We were probably lucky to take both points out of Fernie,” said head coach Jeff Dubois.

The teams were fairly evenly matched in the first period, but the Thunder Cats ran into some penalty trouble in the second. Despite that, Lien MillerJeannotte scored seven minutes in, and defenceman Sebastian Kilcommons scored a shorthanded goal with 15 seconds remaining.

“You would have thought it was a nice goal if a forward scored it,” said Dubois. “It was definitely an eye opener for the guys on the bench.”

In the third period, Thunder Cats goalie Brock Lefebvre stopped 18 of Fernie’s 20 shots, allowing the game to go into overtime.

“In stretches of the game where we were really pinned in our own zone, he kept battling and kept us in,” said Dubois. “In the third, we had a real rough twenty minutes in our own zone, probably the toughest period of the season in terms of getting outworked.”

The game went into double overtime, which ended with a goal by Alec Wilkinson, set up by Kilcommons.

“You can take the points and be happy with result, but realistically, it wasn’t our best effort,” said Dubois.

Saturday’s game, on the other hand, “was probably one of our stronger efforts of the season,” he said. “We kept the shots against low, we kept the chances against low.”

James Severs scored in the first period and Austin Steger scored in the second, with the Ghostriders adding their single goal on a third-period power play. “[Severs] scored a goal from the top of the circle. It was just a blast of a wrist shot that not a lot of goalies stop.”

The Thunder Cats nearly managed a few more goals, as well.

“We hit a few posts and crossbars,” said Dubois. “Friday was one where we could have been even a little stronger on scoreboard — Friday night’s score flatters us and Saturday’s didn’t reflect how strong it was.”

The team effort was better on Saturday, with more support offered to Lefebvre.

“After making Brock do a lot of work on Friday night, I thought our defence was good in front of him on Saturday,” said Dubois.

He was particularly pleased with the effort of the line of Nicholas

Obituaries John Albert Roy February 1, 1934 ~ October 14, 2015

John Albert Roy of Creston, B.C. passed away following a short illness on October 14, 2015 at Creston Valley Hospital.

Oct. 2 cribbage scores: Ladies: Betsy Bronkhorst, 829; Josie Zewiec, 822; Ursula Bzdel, 814. Men: Bob Burr, 842; Rody Malner, 821; Don Schwab, 808.

Oct. 5 dart scores: Ladies: Connie Opsahl, 95; Barbara Havstein, 90; Sally Malner, 88.

Men: Don Schwab, 108; Paul Coates, 106; Gary Krause, 92.

John was born and raised in Donnelly, Alberta. He was employed for 30 years with CP Rail as an Agent/ Operator. He had a great interest in collecting and restoring and bringing items back to life. John was happily married to his wife Margaret of 55 years. John had been a member of the Creston Arts Council, the Museum and Historical Society and the Creston and Bonners Ferry Bridge Clubs.

John is predeceased by his parents Leo and Pascaline; sisters Jeanne, Theresa, and Antoinette; brothers Charlie and most recently Bernard (Ben).

John is survived by his wife Margaret; son Frank; daughter Valerie (Don) Vaillancourt; granddaughters Alicia (Nell) Silvera and Daria; and greatgranddaughter Nyah. He is also survived by his brothers Max, Paul (Mary), Pierre, and Jim (Sylvia); sisters Monica O’Keeffe and Marguerite (George) Burbridge. He will be fondly remembered by 33 nieces and nephews; brothers-in-law Dr. Robert Wilson (Lyn Connock), James Wilson (Barbara), and sisters-in-law Christina (Wayne) Forrest and Judy Roy. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

Kovacik, Dylan Hogue and Liam Plunkett.

“They did a great job playing against Fernie’s top players,” he said.

“Even as a checking line whose job was to shut down the opponent’s skill, they spent a lot of the night in the defensive zone and gave us a lot of energy with their shifts.”

This weekend, Thunder Cats visit the Eddie Mountain Division’s fourthplace Columbia Valley Rockies on Friday (after hosting them for a Tuesday game), then host the Chase Heat on Saturday.

The Thunder Cats played the Rockies in late September, a tight game that resulted in a 3-1 Creston win.

“They’ve got some good skill and good size,” said Dubois. “They challenge you with their work ethic. … If that first game at home was any indication, they’re going to be tough opponents all year.”

Prior to Creston’s Tuesday game, the Thunder Cats and Heat each had 18 points, with Chase second in the Doug Birks Division.

“They’re a big powerful hardworking team that definitely comes to play and compete,” said Dubois. “We’ve had a chance to see them in their barn and know to expect a pretty challenging game.”

Donna Marlene Smith

July 5, 1944 ~ October 15, 2015 Donna Marlene Smith of Creston, BC, passed away on October 15, 2015 after battling cancer.

Donna was born and educated in Calgary, AB. She was married in Creston, BC in 1973.

She loved to walk whenever possible, reading novels, working in her yard, and playing on her computer.

Donna especially loved her dog and cat.

She is predeceased by her mother Mary Turnbull, brother Robert, and many aunts and uncles.

Donna is survived by her loving husband Gerald; sons Robert and Les; daughter Barbra; sisters Jerry, Terry and Cheryl; brother Norman; seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Our thanks to Dr. Hoselton, hospital staff, and all those who helped with Donna's care.

Robert G. Millis May 25, 1933 ~ October 10, 2015 Robert G. Millis of Creston, B.C. passed away peacefully on October 14, 2015 at the age of 82.

Robert was born and raised in Prince Albert Saskatchewan. He met and married his wife Dorothy in Nelson, B.C. in July of 1953.

Robert was a member of the Creston Rod & Gun Club and the Royal Canadian Legion. Robert loved the outdoors as was evidenced by his enjoyment of hunting, fishing, camping, and shooting. He loved spending time with his children and grandchildren and was known for the pranks he played on them.

Robert was predeceased by his parents, siblings and his wife Dorothy of 54 years.

Robert is survived by his six children: Dan (Darlene) and family, Diane (Mike) and family, Bryan and family, Alan and family, Pat and family, and Corinne (Barry) and family.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

There is notification by phone or email from the "CRA" claiming there is a refund pending. In order for the recipient to receive the refund they must provide personal information.

Consumers and businesses receive a notification by phone or email that they owe "back taxes" as the result of an audit. The payment must be made immediately to avoid a fine or the recipient is told there is an outstanding warrant that can be avoided if the payment is made promptly. In many cases, individuals are told they will be deported if the taxes are not paid right away.

The most common approach fraudsters' use is impersonating the real Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). Whether by telephone or by email, the pitch involves one of two variations.

The fraudsters are phishing for identification or asking that outstanding taxes be paid by a money service business or by pre-paid debit / credit cards.

Generally, this scheme involves company representatives calling individuals and stating, for example, that it is Microsoft calling and that their computer is running slow or has viruses.

They offer to repair the computer over the internet, which can involve the installation of software or the customers allowing the representatives remote access to their computer.

Recent variation being reported to the CAFC have involved the suspects identifying themselves as the Canadian Cyber Incident Response Centre and have taken a more aggressive approach with individuals by stating their computer is being used by hackers and that they will be held responsible if they do not allow the suspect to repair their computer.

They have, however, made some upgrades, such as bringing the toilets up to 21 century

And they have two smoking rooms — which have their own bedding.

“The first time I saw burn marks on the sheets in a smoking room, I said, ‘OK, special sheets in the smoking rooms,’ ” said Marg with a laugh.

Many of their customers come from B.C. and Alberta, some even having their favourite rooms, but some customers have even more distant origins.

The two men started chatting to each other in Gaelic, and the couples learned that, back home, they lived about 40 miles apart.

There’s nothing quite like meeting new people, Marg said, and that’s one of the best things about owning the fivedecade-old landmark.

“I don’t have to travel the world,” said Marg. “They come to me.”

DONATION LEADERS — The Kidney

Foundation of Canada’s B.C. and Yukon branch presented Creston’s Service BC staff with a Community Leadership Award Sept. 30 for their dedication and support of organ donation. Since the B.C. government’s Organ Donor Awareness Program — a partnership between Service BC and BC Transplant — started in April, the community has registered 41 new organ donors.

“I am excited about the increase in registrations and confident we can do even better,” said government agent Garry Fuhr (right, with, from left) Judy Harringa and Erika Bjarnason) at the presentation. “The decision to register as an organ donor can mean a second chance at life for multiple individuals — quite possibly a fellow community member.”

Right now, 500 people in B.C. are waiting for a life-saving organ transplant, and while 95 per cent of British Columbians say they support organ donation, only 19 per cent are on B.C.’s organ donor registry.
