“Recovering this at this point in time is really exciting.”

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor Members of the Blossom Valley Singers were thrilled to salvage the vast majority of the group’s music collection and costumes from the basement of the Trinity United Church on Nov. 19.

“Recovering this at this point in time is really exciting,” said BVS president Dave Handy.

The community choir had about $10,000 of music stored in the church, but its fate was uncertain following a Sept. 22 fire that

left a large hole in the roof, exposing the now-mouldy interior to the elements. The only music lost was in the bottom drawer of a filing cabinet, while more than a dozen boxes were brought out by volunteers wearing hazmat suits and respirators.

The Krafty Kronys have started a new chapter in their goal of fundraising for the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors (TAPS). With a new home in the basement of Creston Card and Stationery, the group is set to keep on knitting, sewing and crafting in a permanent location, and celebrated with a reception for owner Mike Poznikoff and staff on Nov. 19.

The donation of the space by owner Poznikoff is the continuation of a family tradition with TAPS — when his late father, John, owned Pharmasave, he donated prizes for games, and when his brother, Steve, co-owned the business, he helped establish a monthly health check program at TAPS. “I couldn’t believe how wonderful the community is,” said Jill Fehr, the Krafty Kronys spokesperson and a former TAPS co-ordinator,

who moved to the valley from Vancouver.

One hundred per cent of the funds raised by the Kronys goes to TAPS, now run by Valley Community Services after the province stopped funding it in 2005.

They started long before that, though, with a group coming to visit Fehr at TAPS in 1996.

“These four Creston angels came in and talked about fundraising. …

Well, did they ever mean it!” said Fehr.

Over the years, funds from the Kronys have purchased coolers and a gas line and exhaust system for the stove at the former TAPS location on 21st Avenue South, as well as one-and-a-half buses.

For many years, most of the Kronys work was done at the home of Patt Robicheau — one of the four who approached Fehr in 1996 — who died two years ago.

Adult colouring reduces stress, develops creativity

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

For many adults, the thrill of colouring books has been long forgotten. But encouraging the memories can easily turn into a new obsession, says Win Dinn, creator of Colour from the Centre, her second colouring book aimed at adults.

“I kind of think adult colouring books are kind of a gateway drug to creativity,” said Dinn. “It opens up that compulsion to be a maker.”

While selling her first book, Colour Me Up, at markets and craft fairs, she’s seen many customers realize that colouring isn’t just for kids, although not right away.

“I found the only way to get them slightly interested was to give them a colouring stick, be it a felt or pencil,” she said. “Once they started, they couldn’t stop.”

It’s about more than remember-

ing fun, though — colouring can help seniors with hand-eye co-ordination, and also rekindles creativity and reduces stress, as Dinn discovered after a family tragedy.

“I didn’t realize adults needed a colouring book till I went through a huge trauma in my life,” she said.

So she picked up a book and began colouring.

“I found it very soothing.”

And that got Din started on an artistic journey: She began creating her own mandalas (from the Sanskrit word for “sacred circle”), the usually circular designs from many cultures — Turkish rugs, for example, start at the centre and move outward — representing the universe, and symbolizing unity and harmony. She would then have friends add colour.

“We’d sit in the hot tub and when we weren’t in the hot tub, we’d colour my designs,” she said.

The family of

Marianne Pelzmann Knopfler

Win Dinn with her new adult coluring book, Colour from the Centre.

Part of the allure of mandalas comes from the fact that circular designs can be found in nature — in flowers, for example. A high percentage of logos are also based on a spiral.

“It calls to us,” Dinn said. “Even the way our blood moves in our body is a spiral.”

She designed all of the mandalas in her colouring books, and although her initial fascination was with geometric shapes, Dinn’s mandalas have changed over the years.

“I tend to find myself enjoying organic with a lot of soft lines and complex movements,” she said.

She starts with a circle grid, usually creating from the centre outward with pencil before making a final version with ink.

“That’s when I mess them up and have to do it all over again,” she said with a laugh.

“It opens up that compulsion to be a maker.”

Win Dinn

In the back of the book is a circle grid that can be copied so people can create their own mandalas, from geometric to organic, complex to simple.

“I think it’s a fun way to test our geometric muscles,” she said.

Din enjoys seeing the different ways her designs end up being coloured — never the same way twice.

“Everyone has their own esthetic about the ‘right thing’,” she said. “I love that they’re all so very unique and seeing the differences. The image is unique but the design isn’t anywhere close.”

Colour from the Centre is available at Puffin Designs, Creative Fix, Black Bear Books and Creston Card and Stationery. To see more of Win Dinn’s art, visit her blog at windinnart.blogspot.ca.

Generosity still helping Manitoba community

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff The story is by now familiar to Advance readers. Muriel Buhr was at a friend’s home in Arrow Creek when she heard the friend’s son, an RCMP constable, talk about life in the northern

Manitoba community of Shamattawa. Apples, he said, were a luxury in this fly-in First Nations reserve about 1,300 kilometres north Winnipeg.

Now, six years later, another load of apples — and much, much more — is on its way to the community of 1,400, which was

once again in the news earlier this year when several youths committed suicide.

If hope is a rare commodity in Shamattawa, the best response might come from the likes of Buhr, her friend Terrie Faulkner and the countless donors who have once again rallied to the cause. Last week, four sevenfoot-high pallets laden with boxes of apples and gifts of toys, clothing, boots and personal care items began their four province journey. A succession of shippers has been co-ordinated to get the pallets to Shamattawa at no charge.

Buhr and her team of volunteers (who learn early on that “Nobody says no to Muriel!”) spend weeks organizing donated items — and others purchased at sale prices with donated cash — to ensure that each youth in the community gets a package before Christmas.

For Buhr and Faulkner, the search for donations and deals is a year-round obsession.

“If we are shopping and come across clearance specials, if the items are appropriate for what we need, we buy up everything,” Buhr said.

Teenage girls help with the packing and their youth is a defi-

nite asset, Buhr explained.

“We’re old. We don’t know what kids want and like. But these girls do,” she laughed.

Jewelry, cosmetics, games, clothing and personal items are all sorted and put into ageappropriate gift bags.

As the group carried on with the packaging a couple of weeks ago, Buhr conducted a whirlwind tour around the Shukin Orchard warehouse that has become a year-round storage centre for the Shamattawa project. She pulled items out of boxes and explained how they were obtained and why they are suitable for the destination.

“I come home and find things hanging from the doorknob or sitting on our deck,” Buhr said of the stream of donations that arrive, sometimes mysteriously.

And she and Faulkner enjoy the challenge of bargain hunting.

“It’s amazing how much we can do with $10 in this town!”

The stories of generosity abound, including that of locals Robert and Nancy McLean and their son, a pilot who flies for Perimeter Aviation.

“Nancy came to me this past year and mentioned that her

son is a pilot for Perimeter Aviation and would be coming through to Creston to visit,” said Buhr. “She said that if we could get something together for her, she would make sure her son got it and he would himself take it when he flew into Shamattawa from Winnipeg. With the gorgeous gift of an Xbox from Ken Shukin and the Xbox company’s overwhelming gift of 213 games, Nancy and Robert sent their son home to Winnipeg with some pretty heavy boxes for the school in Shamattawa.

“And yes, he flew it up to them. I am sure that the kids were pretty happy to be able to play a few games on the Xbox at school as a reward!”

The long trip to northern Manitoba starts with pallets being packed and moved with the help of the Shukin family.

The pallets are delivered by Creston Parcel and Delivery to Columbia Brewery, where they are transferred to a semi that eventually gets them to Manitoba. Co-ordinating the shipment involves numerous trucking companies and relies finally on the generosity of Perimeter Aviation, which flies it to the final destination.

Knickers in a knot with new Footlighters play

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff Director Gary Atha says that Creston audiences can expect to be rolling in the aisles with laughter at Creston Footlighters’ upcoming production of Nana’s Naughty Knickers.

“It is fast and funny and a most people will relate to it very much,” Atha said. “This play provides a great evening of laughter and would be a great night with its appeal to both males and females.”

The play, written by Katherine DiSavino, is a classic farce that will appeal to adults who don’t mind the occasional spicy language.

The story takes place in New York, where Bridget (Anna Payne) and her Nana (Suzanne Chubb) are about to become roommates.

However, what Bridget saw as a unique opportunity to stay with her favorite grandmother in New York for the summer quickly turns into an experience she’ll never forget. It seems her sweet Grandma is running an illegal boutique from her apartment, selling handmade naughty knickers to every senior citizen in the five-borough area!

The plot thickens when Nana faces a nefarious plot to oust her from the rent-controlled apartment she operates — very quietly — from. Mayhem, not surprisingly, ensues.

Atha will be making his directorial debut next week, but he brings about 15 years of stage and singing experience with him, most of it with Abbotsford’s four community theatres.

Suzanne Chubb and Anna Payne in rehearsal for Nana’s Naughty Knickers.

“I used to go to a lot of theatre when I was younger,” he said. “I think I always wanted to participate, even back in high school, but my parents said there was no future in a theatrical career and dissuaded me.”

The dream didn’t die, though.

“I would sit and watch in theatres and think, I could do this. I could act.”

His first production involved playing four small parts in Shadowlands.

“And that was it,” he laughed.

“I think I have done at least a show a year ever since.”

When Atha and his wife considered moving to Creston for their retirement, the presence of an active community theatre company was a key consideration. He has been involved since they arrived in 2013.

One of his last productions in Abbotsford set the stage for Footlighters to perform this particular farce. He played a role in Nana’s Naughty Knickers, which sold out for each of the nine shows in the run.

“I love both musical and dramatic theatre and I actually prefer to be on stage,” he said. “But I

couldn’t resist when Brian Lawrence told me that Frank Goodsir wanted to back away from directing [this fall] and asked if I would take the job. I guess it’s fair to say that directing has been on my bucket list.”

In addition to Suzanne Chubb in the title role, Anna Payne plays Bridget in her first lead role and veteran Ann Deatherage also takes a comedic turn. Lawrence, Peter Simon, Logan Thompson, Leif Deatherage, Alexandra Ewashen and Susan Jorgensen round out the cast.

Since holding auditions in August, the cast has been rehearsing at least twice a week, averaging about five hours weekly. It’s a big commitment for volunteers to spend so many evenings away from home, but they obviously enjoy the opportunity to entertain others.

“It’s a fun production,” Atha said. “No one dies, but there is a delightful reveal at the end that is sure to surprise the audience.”

Nana’s Naughty Knickers will be presented Dec. 3-5 at Prince Charles Theatre and tickets are selling briskly, available at Black Bear Books, Kingfisher Used Books and Fine Coffee and Creative Fix.

awaiting. He was treated for injuries.

•Police got more than they expected when they responded to a report of threats on Sixth Avenue North. During the investigation they saw unsecured firearms and requested a search warrant. The search revealed more firearms, which were seized. A 31-year-old male was arrested and charged with a number of infractions. He will appear in court in February.

I think that history will judge the current mess in the Middle East as having been exacerbated by the United States’ response to the airplane attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001. While there is no question the horrors of that day were intended to induce terror, the U.S. government had a choice to respond to the devastation as a crime or an act of war. It is hardly a surprise that a government that included the likes of Dick Cheney and Karl Rove chose the latter.

The response was not surprising, but nor was it unprecedented.

Americans like their wars, even if they don’t involve attacks on Third World islands and other inferior opponents. Successive administrations have declared “wars” on crime, poverty, drugs and other flavours of the day, even appointing “czars” (an odd choice for a title if there ever was one) to lead various crusades.

If the choice to craft a war-like response to the 9-11 events was predictable, the details weren’t.

Invading Iraq and Afghanistan, two crappy examples of nationhood to be sure, might have had an appeal but neither mission had a direct connection to the terrorist attacks. Saudi Arabian nationals were at the controls and their financing almost certainly came from their home country, but Saudi Arabia gets the same free pass as Israel from the U.S. Both countries seem to have carte blanche to behave badly without threat of retaliation from their buddies across the Atlantic.

By labelling the air attacks an act of war, the U.S. (and its allies) gave instant credibility to all the misfits and miscreants who see no future in building their own coun-

tries up, and so seek to tear others down. Being classed as warriors instead of crooks played right into their hands, giving them a cachet amongst their own and elevating the fear of citizens around the world.

Lorne Eckersley As radicals in largely impoverished countries work to recruit others to their cause of dismantling the western world, their prospects improve dramatically when they promote their actions as a call to war. It wouldn’t be as fashionable to join up with a bunch of seedy criminals as it is go to war and fight for a cause in the name of Islam.

As brighter minds than me have pointed out recently, Islam is not the problem democracies have to be concerned with. Most major religions have been used over the course of history as an excuse to kill others. Christianity is no exception.

If the choice had been to respond to terrorism as criminal activity, the buildup that led to ISIS might not have come so easily.

If there really is some kind of sick belief that blowing up oneself and others creates a path to the hereafter, it doesn’t seem likely that it would have become so widespread if we in the west viewed them as criminals.

At every step of the way since 9-11, the western response has

rewarded the radicals. They want to be seen as martyrs and they want us to be anti-Islam. It feeds their own pathetic worldview and tells them that they are on the right path. We did, after all, fall hook, line and sinker for the rhetoric of our own leaders when we were told about “weapons of mass destruction” (as if nuclear arms don’t qualify) and some actually believed George W. Bush’s assertion that Iraqis would greet invading troops with bouquets of flowers as we worked to “win their hearts and minds”.

So now we have this roving state we call ISIS, in which terrorists commit unspeakable crimes (yes, crimes) against what we mistakenly believe to be their own people on a mission that really has no goal other than to disrupt and create havoc. Heck, if I was living in squalor and misery with no hope for a better future, it wouldn’t take much to rouse me to a level of hatred against those whose lives are luxurious by comparison, and not devoid of hope.

The saddest evidence that our own “war on terror” has backfired is in the response by those who decry taking in refugees, claiming it puts us at risk of the ne’er-do-wells who blow things and people up in the name of Allah. The same knuckleheads who think that free trade is OK even if it reduces a signatory country’s own sovereignty suddenly get all huffy and paranoid about people who fear for their own lives in ways we cannot even imagine.

Game and set to the terrorists.

We are going to have to get a lot smarter, and not meaner, if we want to have any hope of winning the match.

The wisdom of our bodies

Eihei Dogen, the 13th-century Zen master whose essay I’ve been writing about in this column, says that mountains are both sentient and insentient. They are insentient in the sense that they are physical presences without consciousness.

But of course, mountains are expressive. When we study a mountain we feel something special. We feel what the mountain expresses.

An Earth without mountains is a different Earth, and when you live in mountain country, as we do, we have a special feeling about the mountains. They affect us. Similarly, if you live in another kind of country, such as the Prairies, the big sky is very different from mountains and expresses something different about life and about human consciousness. So mountains are insentient. They are just stuff, but they are also sentient in that they express something.

We humans are the same as mountains. We are insentient in that we are just stuff. There is not much difference between this body and a mountain. If we analyze the materials in both, we see that they are more or less the same stuff. But our stuff is so smart. It regulates the heart, makes sure we breathe, maintains homeostasis. Our bodies are

enormously complex and intelligent. In that sense, our bodies, like the mountains, are so wise and powerful that without saying a word we express something meaningful. Language has words that

A Zen'sEye View Kuya Minague combine together to make meaning.

People are like words in that they combine together to make meaning.

This is how meaning appears; it is created among us.

In Zen meditation and practice, we emphasize the body. We use our capacity for awareness to feel the body, to connect to the breath. We allow the body to be as it is, in the moment. In so doing, we unite our consciousness with the universal experience of being a body. This is one of the most important parts of Zen meditation because we so often think of the body as a container for something else that is the “real” us.

Our culture and our conditioning

have not taught us to appreciate the wisdom of the body or, for that matter, the wisdom of the mountain and the Prairies.

Our human body is like the sea that has the profound wisdom to be in tune with the moon, to be in tune with the spinning of the Earth, to be a perfect habitat for all the ocean creatures. How did this happen? How did the ocean become so perfect for ocean creatures? How did the mountains become so perfect for mountain creatures? It’s amazing!

We human beings are the same.

Our bodies are perfectly adapted to this planet, to the food that’s available, to air and water, to the consciousness that we possess. Our bodies, exactly as we are, are as perfect and as wise as the insentience of the mountains, the Prairies and the ocean.

Suggested practice: Intentionally rest your awareness on the experience of being a body.

Electricity the cause of global warming To the Editor: My theory on global warming starts with electricity. Alternating current (AC) all goes to the ground, where it meets with the water. With water being a conductor of electricity, it picks up the electricity and carries it to the ocean with a speed of 186,000 miles a second.

It is almost there instantly.

What affirmed my theory was a report by David Spence of CTV Calgary about the power poles on the street in Calgary being splashed by vehicles. The salt water spray from the street suddenly caused the poles to burst into flames. That’s what happens when AC electricity meets with salt water.

When you put AC current into salt water, it heats up very quickly. As it gets warmer, all the warmth rises, so you will have all the warm water at the top and you will have an area of warm air above the ocean, the ocean breeze

being the male and water being the female. Water is made up of molecules, with each molecule having a hole in it, which is where it stores the oxygen.

It is essential to keep water supplied with oxygen. Without oxygen, all the animals and organisms in the water could not survive. With ocean breezes blowing, it has to push the warm air out of the way to get to the water, which in turn causes very high pressure. The pressure is constantly building up as it crosses the ocean, and when it hits land, all the pressure is suddenly released, causing tornadoes and destruction.

As far as the Arctic ice, it is not melting from the atmosphere. It is melting because of the ocean’s warm water. It is melting down below and losing the footings, so when it can no longer hold on, it breaks loose and floats away. If it was caused by the atmosphere, it would be melting from the top down.

It would melt where it is and not float away.

There is so much electricity in the ocean that the Americans have found a way to recover it. They have units four miles off the coast of California that pick up the electricity and with a large cable take it to the shore where they power many homes.

The ocean is crying out for help and no one is listening.

Christ was born in order to die. He was baptized in order to be raised. This season of nativity is often referred to as the winter Pascha. The Pascha of Christ's resurrection was begun at the Pascha of His birth.

The nativity fast incorporates other meaningful feast days. On Nov. 21, we celebrate the Feast of the Entrance into the Temple of the Theotokos.

Media influenced election To the Editor: Our recent federal election left a bad taste in my mouth. I am not a card-carrying member of any political party and have been following politics for more than 60 years. I have never seen news media as against a prime minister as they recently were. Both CBC and CTV newscasters never had one positive word to say about Mr. Harper.

What’s more, his time coverage in the newscasts was about one-third of the coverage for each individual leader from the other parties. I have no doubt we have the right party in power but who chose them?

If this would have happened with our neighbours to the south I think there would have been a lot of lawsuits going on. We all know it was time for a change in federal politics but why not let the people make up their own minds? I would like to make up my own mind without the help of the newscasters.

Don Schwab Creston ens and threw herself into the arms of the High Priest Zacharias, (who was later father to John the Baptist). He had been waiting for her at the gate of the temple. Zacharias blessed her saying, “It is in you that He has glorified your name in every generation. It is in you that He will reveal the redemption that He has prepared for His people in the last days.”

Zacharias led Mary into the temple where the grace of the Lord descended upon her, thus making her the living Holy of Holies, the living sanctuary and temple of God who would take His flesh from her and dwell within her for nine months. Traditionally, the Orthodox Church views this moment as negating the need for the physical temple in Jerusalem as the dwelling place of God, replacing it instead with the hearts of all those who love and serve God. Mary remained in the temple for nine years. When she was 12 years old, the time when young girls were to marry, Joseph was chosen by God to be her guardian and protector.

The Feast of the Entrance of the Theotokos into the Temple is the beginning of Mary’s total dedication to God and the beginning of her preparation to become Mother of the Incarnate Lord. This is a feast of anticipation and that is why it is celebrated during the nativity fast. As we show honour to Mary in her preparation, we are to emulate her dedication and preparations as we anticipate the incarnation of Christ, the Saviour of the world who will be born next month on Dec. 25, the Feast of the Nativity.

Capilia offering hair loss solutions

F

or many people living with thinning hair or hair loss, the condition can be life-altering. Some — men and women alike — won’t leave home without a hat, worried about the social stigma surrounding their condition.

Story and “Hair loss is a politiphoto by cally charged topic,” said Sandy Goldsmith, Brian owner of Capilia Hair Lawrence and Scalp Centre at 3019 Highway 3 in Erickson. “Men can be bald without attracting attention, but women can’t. For women, our hair is our crowning glory.

We don’t realize how much it means to us until we start to lose it. It’s devastating to the point where people are afraid to wash or brush their hair. For cancer patients, it has an even deeper meaning.”

But there may be a solution to the distress.

“Our motto is, “If there’s hair, there’s hope,’ ” said Goldsmith. “A healthy scalp grows healthy hair.”

Capilia — which uses exclusive Canadian-made, 100 per cent natural Laboratoire Nature products — offers a variety of treatments, for conditions including, but not limited to, thinning hair, alopecia and eczema.

Goldsmith discovered her new career during many hours of research in a business course. She found Novera International, a Canadian leader in the hair loss and replacement industry. She flew to Toronto to train with Novera’s cutting edge technology and become a trichologist, which made it possible to become a Capilia affiliate.

“Trichology is the science that allows us to identify and treat affections related

to the hair and scalp,” she said. “I offer a personalized consultation where I do a detailed analysis of your scalp with a microcamera and specialized software, and I can suggest a professional treatment adapted to your condition.”

Goldsmith has lived in the Creston Valley for 28 years, moving here with her husband, Ken, for the beauty and opportunity.

“It was a wonderful place to raise three sons,” said Goldsmith. “And I cannot say enough about how great this community has been to us.”

She had been a hairdresser since the mid-1970s, and became a master colourist, investing time and money in maintaining and perfecting her skills. But stress and modern diets are taking their toll on scalps and hair, and Goldsmith’s education didn’t cover hair loss remedies.

“None of my training helped when I had a client sit in my chair and show concern over thinning hair or some sort of scalp affection,” Goldsmith said. “To be quite honest, I didn’t have the answers for them other than a one-size-fits-all product that mostly was unsuccessful. If I had a client — and I had many — who went through chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatments who would experience hair loss, I had to send them out of town for wigs.”

For medical or non-medical hair loss, the centre offers natural-looking wigs, hair prostheses and systems, made with cutting edge technology. That made becoming a trichologist and opening Western Canada’s first Capilia centre in August 2014 especially exciting for her, with her background as a stylist preparing her for a future in the hair loss industry.

“I’ve been able to be at the cutting edge of my art and offer clients hair replacement services that look completely natural, by cutting, colouring and styling them,” said Goldsmith. “When I first started to do this as a career, I really felt like the stars lined up for me.”

It’s been a surprise for many clients to learn that a hair loss centre is available in the Creston Valley, said Goldsmith, and she’s happy to be able to help them, whether they be male or female, old or young.

“It is such a great feeling knowing when a guest leaves our centre they have a feeling of hope and renewed selfconfidence,” she said. “Since entering into this new career, I feel like I not only am changing looks and how people feel, but changing lives.”

View from the banks of the Kootenay River

Some people, not having seen the Kootenay River close up, may not be sure of which way it flows, north or south. It may seem somewhat logical to say it flows south as rivers

sturgeons, were lurking, carrying out their usual role of “vacuuming” the river bottom. Tall tales of this denizen of the river depths have entranced a lot of people. I have heard tales of them pulling deer into the river by the feet (sturgeon do have a resemblance to a crocodile). Then there is the story of the big one requiring a jeep to pull it out, which, on its immediate appearance, Ed McMackin mysteriously “transformed” into a waterflow down and south is logged tree trunk before the “down”.

However, the lucky fisherman’s very eyes.

Kootenay River flows both Sturgeon are primarily botsouth and north — south in tom feeders, but their affinity the Columbia-Kootenay Valley for chicken has been their near Cranbrook, north in the weakness; thus, their demise Creston Valley. Now, hopeful- on a fisherman’s line. Actually, ly, without going and checking they are quite the survivors, for it out, some of the myths about they have lived through tetherthis river are dismissed.

It doesn’t have wondered just where the to be a sunny day when I venonce-upon-a-time big fish, the ture there. In fact, I have, on

Out There

one occasion, purposefully waited for a stormy day to go out there, especially when the wind is coming from the north off the lake.

On this one occasion, there was a fine drizzle being driven almost horizontally on the wind. As I approached the gravel shoreline, near the railway bridge, I had to lean into the wind to maintain my balance. The surface of the river seemed to be lapped up or sending up “tongues” of water as the wind blew against the rivers flow and lake pushed back against its current. Interestingly there was a lot less moisture there, and, in fact, I wasn’t even getting very wet. But, I sought a more sheltered stretch of gravel behind a large log where I lay down facing the sky. While enjoying the calm, the wind howled over the log and overhead. It reminded me of a stormy day on an Atlantic shoreline.

The color of Kootenay River varies from spring to late summer. Probably the most striking appearance of the river occurs later in the summer when the mud of spring’s erosion has settled.

Then the river may appear to have an almost turquoisegreen hue, when glacial silts are much more predominate.

Before industries became established up stream, this coloring was much more vivid.

Kootenay River, like many of our natural “scapes”, from one day to the next is never the same. As you have heard before, it is never a case of been there, done that. It deserves another visit!

Black bear on the prowl at Erickson nursery I recently ended up going to the Coast for three days. I thought three days with no snow would be enough time to go pick up a dune buggy from my sister ’s farm. I’d

simply found a nice tree to shelter under, laid down and died. That is where I buried him, under the Russian olive tree. A surprising number of deer die at the farm. Most often I suspect they were hit by a vehicle, but not this time.

In any case, the next day I was riding my bicycle through the back of the farm to turn off some irrigation. I came with some surprise upon a large black bear! I Evan Davies seemed to have scared it more than it been there about 12 hours me.

About a month ago, I was As there are plums in the out in the nursery field about to orchard next door, this is dig some trees when I noticed where it had been feeding for an overnight visitor to the nurs- some time. I had already ery had died. It was a young picked all my apples and buck with a large slash wound pears from the nursery. I across the shoulder. He had raked and cleaned up under-

neath the walnuts and removed any other items I thought the bear would be interested in. I burned all the leaves by where the bear seemed to be making his bed, down by the creek bottom. I spent another week cleaning leaves from the rear gardens with one eye over my shoulder, making as much noise as I could trying to discourage it from hanging around.

Until last week, all was well. I was having a lot less deer hanging around. That is, until the bear ventured up into the nursery area and ripped open the beehives, so far only the ones in the cherry orchard, which are located about 400 feet north of the creek, and for now not the ones in the apples, which are actually closer to the creek bottom about 400 feet to the east. If this weren’t such a dry year, I would have no tolerance for this. We will have to set up an electric fence to keep the bear out of the remaining hives.

In mentioning the bear to my neighbours to the south, they shared some information

Nursery Notes

with me about a possible cougar that has been seen crossing the highway in front of the nursery.

Along with frequent deer crossings come their predators too. If

you drive along the highway at dusk or at dawn use a little extra caution this time of year.

Deletion creates culture of secrecy, deception

How deep is the Clark government culture of delete and deception?

“How deep does it go?” was my question to the BC Liberal minister responsible for British Columbians’ freedom of information laws when we discovered that senior staffers in ministers and the premier’s office were breaking the law.

In Your Corner Michelle Mungall Two hours earlier, B.C.’s independent information and privacy commissioner, Elizabeth Denham, had released a report explaining the BC Liberal government’s practice of triple-deleting to fully expunge the public record of important government decisions — like the decision to not put buses on the Highway of Tears. Triple deleting contravenes the laws of the land, and it was clear from the report that we had only hit the tip of the iceberg, which sparked my question, “How deep does this go?”

As it turns out, it goes very deep. Over the last few weeks in Victoria, my New Democrat colleagues and I have been digging into this scandal because it isn’t the first time Christy Clark’s Liberals have been caught failing to obey our freedom of information laws.

Back in 2013, Ms. Denham raised the alarm that the premier’s office had the worst rate of disclosing information about government decisions. It seemed that no one kept records in Ms. Clark’s office. Then we found out that her staff was using Gmail accounts to hide their partisan work on the taxpayers’ dime in the quick-wins scandal.

And now, after four reports and years of advice and recommendations on how to be open and transparent, we learn that the premier’s staff still chooses Post-it Notes and daily triple deletion of emails instead of disclosing what they are doing on the public’s behalf. This doesn’t look like some accidental mistake where staff just doesn’t know the rules.

But it doesn’t stop at the premier’s office.

Denham’s report pointed to similar practices in the Ministry of Advanced Education under Amrik Virk, who Clark has since appointed the minister responsible for freedom of information. When he was minister of advanced education, we uncovered attempts to conceal his misdeeds from his time as a board member of Kwantlen Polytechnic University. That’s when Clark shuffled him to his current post.

The minister of transportation, Todd Stone, has since admitted that he too triple deletes. A few steps over to the next computer, his staff thought that deletion rather than disclosure

was the appropriate course of action in responding to a request for information about the Highway of Tears.

Having lied about his actions under oath, the staff person now faces an investigation by the RCMP. In response, we’ve seen denials, diversions and deflections. Christy Clark has reassigned all freedom of information requests to an office headed by someone who to date has not produced any records on some of the most notable decisions under his purview, such as the firing of seven health researchers and the departure of Clark’s former

chief of staff. How does someone who fails to produce records on decisions that impact the public be responsible for disclosing information about decisions impacting the public? Perhaps fixing the problem is the problem for Ms. Clark, and so she does her best to deflect it.

However, this is your information.

You have a right to know the reasons and rationale behind government deci-

I am a shy spayed female tabby. I spent time on the streets of Creston and came to PAWS with my kittens. I appreciate all the shelter has to offer, but I need a home to call my own. I would be suitable as in inside/outside cat because of my upbringing.

“We were expecting to get a fast, skilled guy who was going to contribute,” said Dubois. “He’s as good as advertised, probably better. He’s got some real star quality on the offensive side and caught everybody’s attention.”

This weekend, the Thunder Cats play only one game, hosting the Beaver

Valley Nitehawks, who currently lead the Neil Murdoch Division.

“Beaver Valley always tests you physically,” said Dubois. “If you try to take shortcuts, it catches up pretty quickly. …

It’s going to be a real test to see if we can get back on track with our work ethic and play on the defensive side of the puck.”

PCSS boys win East Kootenay volleyball title SUBMITTED

The Prince Charles Secondary School Bulldogs are headed for the Coast having won the Kootenay senior boys’ AA volleyball title at their home gym in Creston on the weekend.

PCSS swept aside its lone challengers from Kimberley and Invermere to claim the zone title and earn a berth in the British Columbia high school championships, Dec. 2-5 in Langley.

A 25-8, 25-16, 25-17 dismantling of Kimberley’s Selkirk Storm in the bestof-five final Saturday afternoon, their first match of that length all season, punched the Bulldogs’ ticket to the 16-team provincial tournament to be held at the Langley Event Centre in suburban Vancouver.

It was the Creston team’s second victory over Selkirk in a matter of hours, as the Bulldogs

wrapped up an undefeated round-robin portion of the zones by sweeping Selkirk 25-16, 25-17 in a best-of-three set match Saturday morning.

The Bulldogs opened the tournament Friday with a 25-21, 25-10 triumph over the David Thompson Lakers of Invermere. PCSS was only seriously tested in the first set of that match, after seeing an early 15-3 lead dwindle to as few as three points before hanging on and then pulling away in the second set.

The Bulldogs, featuring six Grade 12 students and three from Grade 11, are scheduled to depart on Tuesday in preparation for their opening matches the next day.

In the five-team Kootenay zone girls’ playoffs also held in Creston on the weekend, PCSS reached the final against Selkirk before falling in straight sets.

Victoria (Vikki) Gogol December 1, 1939 ~ November 13, 2015

The world has lost a beautiful woman and a kind soul with the passing of Victoria (Vikki) Gogol on November 13, 2015.

Known for her integrity and desire to put others first, Vikki was a caring and patient woman who always had good things to say. She had a great sense of humor and always tried to lighten up any situation, especially her time at the dialysis unit of the Creston Valley Hospital.

Vikki was born December 1, 1939 to Walter and Josephine Chopty in Invermay, Saskatchewan. She received a grade 8 education but that did not limit her in any way. She went back to school in Tisdale and become a nurse's aid, a job she did at the Canora General Hospital and at the Vancouver General Hospital.

The family moved to Vancouver, BC and she was a great stay at home mom. As her children grew older she re-entered the work force delivering optical frames.

She was such a great employee and her work did not go unnoticed. A kind man from Montreal hired her to work at Superlite Optical where in no time she worked her way to Western Canada Manager.

She was excited to become a grandmother and when long weekend visits were not enough, she gave up everything to move to Creston to follow her family. While working at 7/11 she went back to school to be a long term care aid and worked at Swan Valley Lodge until her mandatory retirement.

Vikki enjoyed many passions in her life including gardening and she enjoyed sharing the finer points of her lifetime of gardening with her family. She loved to

do needlework and sewing and knitting.

She was the happiest when she could be outdoors, whether it was fishing, gardening with the stereo on high or just watching her family playing in the park.

First and foremost, Vikki was a dedicated and loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She is survived by her son Jeffrey Gogol (Vicki); daughter Janice Wood (Robert); her grandchildren Anthony Wood (Angela) and Jaclyn Chambers (John); and her greatgrandchildren Cassidy Wood, Karissa Wood, Alyx Wood, and Konnor Reutgen as well as her brother Mike (Alice), and her sister Margaret (Earl). She is also leaving behind many special nieces and nephews and many treasured friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents Walter and Josephine; her brothers Russell and Lorne (Jeanette) and Norbert Gogol, father of Jeff and Janice.

Vikki will be remembered as a great lady who only saw the world with a smile on her face.

A Celebration of Life was held at G.F. Oliver Funeral Chapel (225 15th Ave N Creston) on November 19, 2015 at 11 am, followed by a fellowship at the Lutheran Fellowship Hall (315 15th Ave N Creston).

A memorial will be held in the spring of 2016 for all who want to say goodbye but could not come at this time.

In lieu of flowers, you may donate to Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital – Creston Dialysis Unit.

HEE HAW — Five-month-old Pedro is the newest addition to Spectrum Farms, where he is a guardian

for the farm’s sheep. While sheep will run from a predator, a donkey will show aggression, and can defend itself and the sheep by kicking, and potentially killing, a predator. Pedro lives with the sheep, eats the same food and has integrated well with the flock.

Lights Used to Shine is a Christmas-themed concert for all ages embracing the authentic spirit of the season with Canadian alternativefolk singers Sheree Plett and Jeremy Eisenhauer, who perform Dec. 4 at the Sasquatch.

Plett and Eisenhauer are married songwriters that have earned their keep playing music all over the continent for the past decade. Their harmonies blend traditional alt-country with modern folk, collaborating the great sounds of the past, with new innovation and depth.

Vancouver was home for the couple and their three kids until the mystical mountains of the Kootenays called them east where they now reside. They have eight albums under their collective belt, two of which are Christmas-themed, featuring a heavy dose of their own originals.

Over the last eight years, it has been a family tradition to brave the winter roads, put on some good winter tires and head out on a Christmas tour.

Their entourage has grown as this will be the first tour they embark on with their third child in tow.

Their hope is to engage listeners with an authentic look at the meaning of Christmas, with its warmth and joy, but also with it's realism and

mystery. In song, the duo intends to entice an oblique reflection on the season, and allow a new understanding of what it is that seems to keep drawing us back into its joyful depths.

Tickets are available in advance at Buffalo Trails Coffee House, Black Bear Books or Kingfisher Used Books, or at the door, which opens at 6 p.m.; the show starts at 7.

Songwriter offering B.C. mining, cowboy songs SUBMITTED

Sarah Jane Scouten is on the road this month and December with intent and purpose.

The singer, raised on Bowen Island, B.C., is crafting curated folk music shows for the Canadian provinces she is visiting, and, for some months, has been consulting ethnomusicologists about the traditional songs of the region, which are not always locally known.

For British Columbia, she’s unearthed mining songs, telling tales of Britannia Beach and the lives of hard rock miners from the turn of the century.

For Alberta, it’s a view of the ranch, built on the oral tradition of cowboy songs.

“It is a common belief that traditional Creston Valley Canadian music west of the Prairies does not Gleaners Hours exist, or has been irrevocably lost,” said Scouten.

“I’m excited to say that isn’t the case.”

Gleaners Touring with a full band, which includes Tues & Fri: 9:30am - 4:00pm Sly Juhas on drums, James McEleney on bass Thurs: 4:00pm - 7:00pm and Nichol Robertson on guitar, the songs chosen are about the work of settlers, miners and Gleaners Too homesteaders, arranged with modern sensiTues & Fri: 9:00am - 4:00pm bilities. They’re made to fit alongside the Thurs: 4:00pm - 7:00pm original material in order to illustrate that folk Food Bank song is an unbroken line in all parts of Canada, Tues & Fri: 9:00am - 1:00pm alive and well in contemporary folk artists, with original songs like “Black Strap Sadie” Gate Hours and “The Cape” being as rooted in a place as Mon - Fri: 6:40am - 4:00pm their predecessors.

Sat & Sun: 12noon - 4:00pm In 2014, Scouten released her second fullwww.crestonvalleygleaners.com length album, The Cape, named after her childhood playground Cape Roger Curtis and a 807 Canyon St. • 250-428-4166 stormy 7.5-minute-long ballad by the same Volunteers needed and welcomed! name. The record throws a wake for all the things we won’t have back again, found in the shameless nostalgia for place, time, lost loved ones, frayed family ties and bonds too strong to break.

A traditionalist at heart, Scouten shows her signature flair for 20% OFF ALL DISPLAY ADVERTISING the roots of roots music, ranging from Booking deadline Thurs Nov 26 at 4pm western swing, honky tonk, Cajun and Appalachian string Advertisers wishing to be included band music and a hint in this popular high-profile of the Maritimes.

Myths & realities:

You wanna roll like a gangster? ▾ MYTH: Gangs have formal organization and structure: Reality: By and large, few youth gangs evolve into adult criminal organizations and most gangs are loosely structured, with transient membership and easily breached codes of loyalty. With many gang members being arrested or murdered, membership is usually in a constant state of flux with internal competition for leadership roles.
