From his desk that affords views to the south and west of the Creston Valley, Mike Fitzpatrick has a pile of work to do, and not much time to stare out the windows.

Fitzpatrick assumed his duties as manager of the Creston Valley

Chamber of Commerce Feb. 15, and already he is attending meetings, studying reports and meeting with key people in the community. He acknowledges that the job has its challenges, but his passion for the Creston Valley, experience in promotions, organizing and management, and a determination to make a difference are all

qualities that should serve him well.

“We are working on a strategic plan but key for us is to retain existing businesses and attract new businesses,” he said.

Attracting new membership is also a top priority. The chamber is a non-profit organization that relies on membership fees to drive its

ability to provide services to members. Businesses, Fitzpatrick said, can expect a visit, in which he will introduce himself and outline the many benefits of membership.

He and his wife, Eileen, relocated to the Creston Valley a year ago after retiring from their jobs in Calgary.

local World Day of Prayer service will be held at 1 p.m.

Friday at Redeemer Lutheran Church.

On March 4, Christians in more than 170 countries and in 2,000 communities across Canada will gather to learn about, pray for and celebrate Cuba in solidarity with the women of Cuba.

The emblem for this year’s day of prayer is white butterfly jasmine, the national flower of

Cuba. Cuban women use the flower not only as an adornment for their hair, but to transmit messages during liberation wars.

The March 4 event has its roots in an ecumenical day of prayer organized by women in Canada and the U.S. in 1920, becoming the World Day of Prayer in 1922.

Welcomes Gitte Grover to our Team

My husband and I found this beautiful valley when we were looking for a place to escape the long, cold Northern Alberta winters. Our two daughters left the nest and live in BC also. We were lucky to discover this “hidden” valley in 2011 and buy a great acreage just south of town with an old cherry orchard on it – all the cherries you want! I have always been passionate about growing things and am finally not restricted to one page in the seed catalogue. I can grow it all here, which is so exciting!

We love dogs and have a Golden Retriever who adores everybody, and a mini Dachshund who likes nobody, unless you give him a treat (which they do at the landfill, Dairy Queen and the border). Born in Germany, I emigrated to Canada in 1984 after I fell in love with this wonderful country, and now B.C. I really enjoy the many activities this community has to offer, like going to the Rec Centre for lessons in line dancing and Tai Chi. Creston is a warm and welcoming community and I feel very much at home here.

As a RE/MAX Realtor® I will do my best to make buying or selling a home a painless and pleasant experience for you. I worked for 21 years as an ecologist for a forestry company in Northern Alberta and it taught me skills in negotiations, being prepared and knowledgeable, attention to details and thoroughness. I will employ these skills with great energy in real estate to help you buy or sell your home. I am looking forward to meeting you!

SD8 ranks Creston facilities scenarios

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

The School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) facilities review has identified rebuilding Adam Robertson Elementary School (ARES) as the overall highest-ranked scenario, an audience of about 40, mostly educators, was told by staff on Feb. 25.

The Creston “family of schools” facilities review presentation, part of a district-wide series of meetings, at Prince Charles Theatre offered 14 suggestions gleaned from staff and the general public, which included closures and/or reconfigurations of various schools.

“This is not the plan,” said secretary-treasurer Kim Morris. “This is the data that will inform the development of the plan.”

“We’re looking for input on the way we scored,” said Supt. Jeff Jones.

The results, made available yesterday at www.sd8.bc.ca, were based on economic, educational, operational and strategic criteria applied to the suggestions and scored by Morris, Jones, independent learning director Ben Eaton and operations director Larry Brown.

Each category carried a different weight, with education topping them at 40 per cent, and with strategic at 19 per cent. But with economic and

LOcaL neWs operations, both of which dealt with different financial aspects, totalling 41 per cent — one point over education — a few audience members took exception.

“I feel like I’m getting a snow job here,” said Prince Charles Secondary School (PCSS) teacher Al Gribbin.

Former Adam Robertson Elementary School principal Rod Giles suggested that teachers and educators should have been involved in scoring the educational component.

“That’s exactly what we want the community to do,” said Morris. “Did they consider the right things? Did they miss anything?”

The feedback period runs through the end of March, with a draft plan being created in April, and the board expected to make a final decision for each of six families of schools at its May 3 meeting. A few audience members expressed dissatisfaction with the short time period, which includes two weeks of spring break.

“I don’t think that it’s fair asking families and teachers, who are taking spring break and recouping,” to meet to discuss the report, said an audience member.

“There’s never a good time,” responded Morris.

The rebuild of ARES was the top-ranked overall choice, with 61.02 per cent, and was followed by simply closing the Creston Education Centre (CEC, 54.3), decommissioning the PCSS “bubble” and expanding the gymnasium (52.7) and closing the CEC and moving its programs to other schools (52.7).

Top results in the individual categories were: Economic: closing ARES and moving students to Canyon-Lister Elementary School and CEC; Educational: a tie between closing the CEC and maintaining the status quo; Operational: rebuilding ARES; and Strategic: decommissioning the PCSS “bubble” and expanding the gymnasium.

Based on feedback, some of the options may be rescored before the draft plan is created, and the final choice may not be the top-scorer.

“It doesn’t mean we’re taking the top one or two,” said Morris.

But they were hardly strangers to the area. Both have relatives in the area and Fitzpatrick has fond memories of childhood vacations when his dad would stop the car to pick up fruit on the way to Christina Lake.

Eileen’s parents had an orchard in Canyon, and the couple now resides in Erickson.

Born in Edmonton and raised in Calgary, Fitzpatrick attended university in both cities and was politically active early in his life.

After university, he applied for jobs in the fire department (the dream ended because he was asthmatic) and the RCMP (there was a six- or seven-year wait list at the time) and he went to work at Canada Post.

A long-standing passion started when he was asked to represent the organization on the United Way campaign.

“Then Canada Post went on strike and I had to cross a picket line to get my cheque — imagine how it felt knowing I had to get striking workers on board with our United Way efforts!

“But we had a successful campaign because I involved children — because nobody hates a kid!”

The inspiration to involve youngsters came from his sixyear-old nephew, who overheard his uncle talking about United Way. “I’ll help you, Uncle Mike,” he said.

www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca 3

Mike Fitzpatrick That campaign involved organizing events to include youth groups like Boys and Girls Clubs, and Cubs and Scouts.

“I realized I had a skill in bringing people together.”

When he was seconded by Canada Post to United Way for a year the experiences he gained would change his life.

“I learned every aspect of management — it was incredible,” Fitzpatrick said. “It had a great impact on me as a person because of what I saw could be done.”

Since relocating to Creston, he and Eileen have been busy learning to maintain an orchard and figuring out how to downsize, sorting through a lifetime of accumulations. And they have quickly become involved in their new community. Both are members of the Creston Rotary Club and

Fitzpatrick is on the board of directors at Spectrum Farms and active in related organizations. He is a tennis enthusiast and joined the tennis club, playing regularly against one particular member.

“I told people I was playing a fellow named Alex who was really good for a 60-year-old.”

Later, he would see the Alex Nilsson Field at the Creston and District Community Complex and his curiosity would lead to a Google search of the name.

“I couldn’t believe it when I learned about his amazing history, including being a member of the Order of Canada, and that he is 80, not 60!”

A tour of the area by Nilsson introduced Fitzpatrick to Spectrum Farms, and he was soon volunteering, following the footsteps of his new friend.

Fitzpatrick admits he was a last-minute applicant for the manager’s position.

“From what I have seen, the chamber could be doing better,” he said. “I really care about Creston, and the chamber of commerce carries a big weight — we are responsible for bettering the lives of many people.

“I know there is a tremendous amount of assets here — probably even more so than in the city. A chamber of commerce needs to have a strong vision, strategic goals and marketing and public relations plans. We hope to make an impact by helping people to help themselves.”

Obituaries

It is with great sadness that our family announces the passing of our mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother Mary Kathleen (Betty) Walker. Betty passed away suddenly at the Creston Valley Hospital at age 93 years.

Betty’s greatest joy in life was her family! She loved cheering the Blue Jays on and had a passion for creating beautiful knitted afghans and sweaters as well as needlework and many crafts. Mom faced many obstacles in her life but always with a great sense of humor and was a strong independent woman who was always willing to listen and help others when possible.

She was predeceased by her husband Leonard John Walker; her parents Bayse and Annie Eddy; her foster parents “The Jewells”, as well as seven brothers and sisters: Harry Eddy, Hazel Kavanaugh, Ida-Mae Martin, George Eddy, Bill Eddy, Mona Wilkie and Harry Jewell.

She leaves behind her loving children: Faith Michaelson (Robert) of Qualicum Beach, Larry Walker (Susan) of Creston; four grandchildren: Stephanie, Jason, Leigh and Lisa; as well as four great-grandchildren: Rylee, Jenna, Brendan and Benjamin.

A private family service will be held at a later date.

Friends wishing to make a memorial contribution in Betty’s name may do so to the Heart and Stroke Foundation 4 - 1551 Sutherland Ave, Kelowna, BC V1Y 9M9.

Henry Gartland June 29, 1923 ~ February 20, 2016

It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.

Henry was born in Canyon, B.C., son of John and Sofie Gartland. He attended school in Canyon and Creston Valley High School. He served in the Royal Canadian Air Force during world War II and while in England met his future bride, Eileen. They married in 1948 in Canyon and had their first home there. In 1952, with two children in hand, they moved to the coast. Henry, with Eileen's help, began building their home in Burnaby and have remained there until the present.

Henry was predeceased by his parents John and Sofie Gartland; brothers Jim, Sidney, and Sweyn; sister Anne Forrester; nephews Allan Moberg and Severin Gartland; and niece Diana Forrester.

He leaves to mourn his passing, his loving wife Eileen of 67 years; daughters Louise, Patty (Wayne) McBain, Julie (Phil) LaBelle; son Steven (Patti) Gartland; sisters Jenny Moberg and Ruby Nygaard; sisters-in-law Diane Gartland and Blanche Thomson; grandchildren, great-grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.

Henry was a devoted family man. He was a kind and gentle soul and had a great sense of humour and will be dearly missed.

There was a Memorial Service at St. Gordon Presbyterian Church on Edmonds Street, Burnaby, B.C. on Saturday, February 27, 2016 at 2 pm.

Asset adds to foundation’s funds

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

The Creston-Kootenay Foundation received a big boost recently, thanks to the donation of an asset worth more than $250,000 by a couple wanting to benefit Creston Valley non-profit groups.

“They had this one big asset worth a lot of money, and they wanted some to be given here, here and here,” said CKF treasurer Ted Hutchinson.

The foundation is keeping private the specifics of the donation to protect the anonymity of the donors, but Hutchinson could say that the asset was liquidated and the proceeds invested as the donor-advised “Romeo and Juliet” fund, one of two such funds administered by the CKF.

“That means they play a role as long as they want in deciding where grants go each year,” said Hutchinson. “We’re able to protect the donor’s anonymity not only when they make the donation, but also when the cheques are written.”

The CKF started in 2005 with investments totalling $256,000, and now holds $1.6 million of investments — from cash donations, stocks and bonds, insurance policies and bequests — spread through a variety of funds.

The earnings on some are distributed annually, with, for example, earnings on the Sonja Sommerfeld fund (created by the family of Sommerfeld, who died in a December 2004 car accident) split annually between public health nurses and the Creston Ministerial Association for optometric needs, and the Brandon

Salviulo fund (created by the family of Salviulo, who died in a July 2009 ATV accident) giving annual scholarships to two firefighting trainees.

Investments in less specific funds have allowed the foundation to donate to the Creston Rotary Splash Playground, the Riondel Curling Club’s new roof, the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors, Spectrum Farms and the Therapeutic Riding Program.

And those projects of lasting benefit to the community are most often what donors are interested in contributing to.

“I think everyone inherently wants things to be better when they leave than when they got here,” said Hutchinson.

For more information or to donate, visit www.ckfoundation.ca or contact Ted Hutchinson at ckfted@hotmail.com.

KEEPING TRACK — The Creston Valley Hospital recently purchased three Holter monitors for the lab through donations

from the Creston-Kootenay Foundation and the Tuck Shop (which included $1,000 from the Wynndel Box Employees Association). The monitors, which totalled $7,359, are portable devices that measure the wearer’s heart activity continuously for 24-48 hours. With a high demand for Holter monitoring in Creston, these devices will reduce the wait list in the future. Present for the donation were (from left) Tuck Shop volunteers MaryNell Pawelko and Sheila Lawson, Tuck Shop co-ordinator Mabel McCowan, lab assistant Gwen Gawryluk, lab technician Jennifer Harrison, Creston-Kootenay Foundation director Nicole Nilsson, and hospital site manager Carolyn Hawton.

Council applying for sidewalk grant, advised about new fire hall

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

A presentation about the Success by Six program at the Feb. 23 regular town council meeting might lead to more financial support.

Following a PowerPoint presentation

by Ellie Reynolds, co-ordinator of Valley Community Services’ Creston Valley Early Years team, Regional District of Central Kootenay Area C director Larry Binks, who was in the gallery, invited her to apply to rural directors for additional funding.

“I invite you to a Creston Valley Services Committee meeting to make your presentation,” Binks said. “More funding might enable you to add services while not taking away from others.”

Council Briefs •Council approved the closure of some streets for the fifth annual Just “Tri” It triathlon, which will be held on June 16.

•A letter of support will be provided to the Ripple Ridge Recreation Association, which is planning to expand the cabin on Kootenay Pass, which is currently heavily booked throughout the year.

•An application was approved for Columbia Basin Trust funds to help pay for a sidewalk on Railway Boulevard that will improve pedestrian and mobility scooter traffic movement between Northwest Boulevard and Canyon Street South.

•A letter from the Ministry of State for Emergency Preparedness seeking input into the future of the Emergency Program Act was received for information.

•Council approved a staff recommendation to close the dog park in March and April to help prevent damage to the surface during the typically wet spring weather.

•Council consulted by telephone with an advisor about what steps should be undertaken if it decides to move forward a plan to construct a

new fire hall. The consultant, Kimberley Johnston, outlined a process that would include public involvement and input throughout planning stages and into a referendum.

“Really it is always best practice to make sure the public is as informed as possible,” Johnston said.

Including the public in everything from site selection and building orientation and design to sustainability is important, she said.

“Being open and bringing the public into the process is advantageous to engaging them in the issue,” she said.

Also, she said, input from the public and user groups helps a cost estimator to come up with accurate cost projections in a process that can take a year or more to start after a successful referendum.

“Public process is a really interesting part of a project,” she said. “It’s like showing your work in high school math.

How you arrive at the answer is as important as getting it right.”

Mocha says you can make a difference!

As I sat through a Town of Creston budget meeting last week, a few thoughts crossed my mind.

First, thumbing through a package that included sheets on every project that Town Council is considering for the 2016-17 budget, I couldn’t help but think that what I have witnessed at council meetings over the years is true — the quality of information that councils get from staff has improved dramatically. It is concise and unbiased, and presented in a way that nonexperts — elected representatives of the public — can digest. And senior staff are only too willing to adjust and adapt that info upon council’s request.

My second observation won’t likely sit well with either group.

As finance director Steffan Klassen worked through his presentation there was considerable interest among councillors about the status of the town’s various reserve funds. Reserve funds are, essentially, savings accounts for various expenditures, designed to help cover both planned and unforeseen costs. Some reserve funds might be statutory, or required by law, and others meet other requirements. A condition of borrowing and qualifying for grants to upgrade the wastewater treatment plant was to build up the appropriate reserve fund.

Fair enough, but I couldn’t help but think about Popeye’s friend, Wimpy, as the discussion proceeded. Wimpy, readers of my vintage might recall, had a favourite saying — “I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.”

The perpetually broke character did love his burgers. Reserve funds, I kept thinking, are the polar opposite of Wimpy’s economic plan. Think of those reserves as the taxpayer saying,

“I’ll gladly pay you today for a hamburger on Tuesday.”

Years ago, under the leadership of Mayor Lela Irvine, town council initiated a policing reserve fund in anticipation of Creston going over

From what I see and hear it sounds like our world is dying.

And that is a terrifying thought. We are polluting our air, tearing down our forests and turning the oceans into garbage heaps. The fact is that in the last few years, we have seen some ups and downs with crazy weather, burning droughts and massive storms.

Last summer, it seemed like the whole of western North America was on fire but now some places are having the coldest temperatures in years. Everything seems to have gone to extremes. In a lot of places where water is already scarce, rainfall could decrease, causing devastating droughts. However, other places may have the opposite problem. The number of floods is estimated to increase due to crazy weather patterns.

On top of that, we all know that the glaciers are melting, causing a huge rise in sea level. This leaves many animals with nowhere to go, endangering many of them to near extinction. The north and south poles are getting smaller with every year, and we can see the disastrous effects it has been having.

A lot of this stuff can lead back to global warming, which can then possibly be traced back to humans polluting the earth, but the garbage in the oceans is solely humanity’s fault.

My second grade teacher told me

Lorne Eckersley the 5,000 mark in population and having to pay a much larger portion of its policing costs. The theory was simple — build up a fund that would help ease the sudden jump in cost. In other words, pay more taxes today so that the increase won’t seem so dramatic tomorrow.

And the plan worked. Without that fund, Creston taxpayers would have faced a huge tax increase immediately.

In our personal economies, many of us also have reserve funds, most notably in the form of retirement savings accounts. We save today so that we can supplement our government pensions upon retirement. Some have education savings plans and some have rainy day funds for emergencies. Heck, some even set aside money for vacations. But for bigger purchases like vehicles and houses, we most commonly borrow, paying for them at the same time we are getting the benefit of their use. That’s an important part of my distaste for reserve funds in general — we are paying for something today so we can pay less, or even nothing, when we are actually getting the benefit.

Think of the many, many taxpayers who for years paid into that policing reserve fund and then died or moved before we had to start paying for the service.

They paid in advance for a hamburger they never got to enjoy.

Someone who moved into town in the year that we went over the 5,000 mark had the blow of higher policing costs softened because others — call them Reverse Wimpys — paid today for a hamburger on Tuesday.

Local government administrators and elected officials can be forgiven for their love of reserve funds. Those funds can allow emergencies to be addressed without messing up a budget or having to borrow, the latter of which needs taxpayer approval. Easier to dip into a reserve fund than to go the public with hat in hand, asking for permission to borrow.

It took an enormous volunteer effort to convince taxpayers to borrow so we could have the beautiful Creston and District Community Complex that we enjoy today, and there was no reserve fund (unless you count fundraising efforts, which were voluntary, unlike taxes). The majority of voters expressed their willingness to pay today, and tomorrow, for a hamburger today, and tomorrow. Just as they do when they take out a car loan or a mortgage to buy a house.

I am not saying that reserve funds are fundamentally bad, or that those who like them are wrong. But I think their creation should be undertaken with the same prudence as we expect from any government spending. Call me a spend-as-I-go guy. I’m happier paying for my burger when I get it.

Act now to preserve world for our future generations The Teen Take Emily Ritter-Riegling how, when he was little, everyone would just dump their garbage in the ocean and it was completely normal.

I was, of course, appalled. Now we know different but it doesn’t stop a lot of garbage still ending up in the oceans. It’s horrifying to think of the endless heaps of plastic, floating out there like islands.

There have been, and still are, plans to clean up the oceans and I try to stay optimistic but sometimes I really have to wonder what the world will be like in 20 years. And when I do, it doesn’t look too good.

And that’s not even it. The forests, our rain forests especially, are being cut down and burned as if no one had a care in the world. Animals have gone extinct because their habitats have been completely destroyed by mankind. And for what, a few nice pieces of wood or extra land?

This world is falling apart because of us but it seems like no one cares enough to do anything.

Because we’ve been told to recycle but we’ll still throw away plastics, and we’ve been told to bike but we still drive two blocks over. There are so many other problems our world has to face; if we could try and solve this we could greatly improve the lives of the generations to come.

So, I really do encourage you to recycle what you can, buy local foods, donate to charity and walk to work. Whatever you can do to make this world just a tiny but better and safer and cleaner, can make a difference if we all do something.

New programs scheduled at community complex

Some bits and pieces this week: The leisure guide hits your mailbox this week and, of course, is also online at www. rdck.ca for those of you that want to kick back on the couch with your iPads or other such devices to select your favorite

program. Always a fascinating read (I may be slightly biased), this issue caught my eye with some pretty cool programs for kids of all ages whether cooking, sports or arts and crafts. We also have a page on spring break youth activities, with both cooking and drama camps — Shakespeare to Easter edibles — as well as all our spring break skate times.

For those of you that like to have a bit of a workout Saturday mornings, beginning this Saturday we have added a few hours to the gym Neil Ostafichuk opening time, which now

has the lights turning on at 9 a.m. instead of noon, which, of course, frees up more time in the afternoon to kick back on the couch with your iPad to look at all our programs.

Speaking of workouts, Tia has a page in our guide with everything you need to know about the Just “Tri” It Triathlon. If you are new to the scene, this triathlon is made up of a 500 metre swim in our heated pool, a sprint outside to grab your bike for a 13 kilometre excursion to the Wynndel Viewpoint and back, finishing up with an invigorating five kilometre run around the neighbourhood.

‘Coffee talks’ a success

In November 2013, my first “coffee talk” was held at the Creston Valley Bakery with 12 citizens attending. My primary purpose in organizing this event was to promote better communi-

the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, to answer questions and comments regarding highway issues. He was a few minutes late and apologized for this, the Kootenay Pass was having avalanche control with 20-minute closures and even he in his official vehicle had to wait. He and newly appointed area manager Heidi Postnikoff were pleased to attend and Hugh suggested that he would like to come back for a fall coffee talk, as he Ron Toyota appreciated the local input cation with myself and our local that was presented. protection officers.

Council Comment

Simple & Natural

It is important to note that participation is not restricted to the citizens of the Town of Creston; we have had several attending who live in other areas of the Creston Valley. At one session, a tourist from Vancouver came into the Real Food Cafe and because the restaurant was not open for serving, he stayed to have coffee and listen to our conversations.

The main purpose of this event is an opportunity for citizens to meet with myself, the RCMP staff sergeant, our fire chief and our public safety compliance officer. The biggest takeaway for me is to listen to what concerns may be brought to us and we even have received appreciative and thank you comments, which really help me in knowing that my efforts are not all in vain.

Our next coffee talk will be 9:30-11 a.m. April 14 at Black Bear Books.

Ron Toyota has been the mayor of Creston since 2008.

Remedies e m o H Seminar

Perhaps I have downplayed it slightly; it is definitely a workout but as a triathlon, we have had entrants from all ages and fitness levels, so if you had this on your bucket list, this one is entirely achievable for most relatively fit people.

But wait, there’s more! If you just want to just do one or two aspects of the event, you can enter as a team of two or three and still be able to participate. Even if you don’t know anyone, just contact the front desk or Tia and we will gather names and match you up with participants in the other areas of the triathlon.

So, of course, I have a great idea.

Why not create TriMatch.com — you know, stuff like swimmer seeking runner or biker seeking swimmer. We’d be rich! Of course, as with many of my great ideas, they are politely declined by the programmers, most likely because the name is taken already, perhaps some small liability issues with our employer — who knows — but the main point is that this is a great event that only eats up a morning for you (excluding possible training time). The other cool thing is this is the fifth triathlon since Tia started it probably five years ago and nervously calling it an annual event

the first time, not knowing how it might be accepted. Here we are!

It’s a busy weekend coming up but a great time to come down to the community complex — not only will you see some exciting men’s curling at the 70th Butterfly Bonspiel, the 2016 Art Trot FUNdraiser for the Therapeutic Riding Program is also happening this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

This event has gotten larger each year and has expanded to take in the Erickson Room as a display area, as well as the lobby. Over at Rotacrest Hall, there is a multivendor trade show and, depending what happens in Junior B hockey since this was written, you might have an opportunity to catch some exciting playoff action with our own Creston Valley Thunder Cats.

This Sunday, not only can you perambulate about the Creston Valley Farmers’ Market in the Creston Room while listening to live music, you can also take in the always interesting Creston Valley Figure Skating carnival. Or you can kick back on the couch with your iPad and miss it all. Your choice.

Neil Ostafichuk is the recreation supervisor at the Creston and District Community Complex.

Métis educator and elder visit CLES students CANYON-LISTER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Canyon-Lister Elementary School students had the opportunity of spending time with Métis educator Amy Cross and elder Marie Schoenthal.

Cross visited the Grade 1/2 and 2/3 classes. Students learned to play the Métis spoons in rhythm to familiar Christmas tunes, and later they practised some basic jig steps while listening to traditional fiddle tunes such as the “Red River Jig”.

The Grade 4/5 and Grade 7 classes listened to the childhood stories of Schoenthal, or Koukoom. She spoke of her Métis heritage and her personal journey to feeling proud of who she is. She spoke of her loving family and how they overcame the challenges they faced living in a remote community with no electricity, or running water.

Living on the “road allowance” required resourcefulness — harvesting berries and hunting.

Schoenthal grew up speaking the traditional language of

Michif, yet learned to speak and write English at school.

She shared childhood stories of discrimination while focusing on the importance of always being kind and respectful to all people.

To celebrate their time together, the students learned to make traditional bannock bread and then enjoyed a bannock feast with a little butter and jam. Teachers and students are so very grateful to Cross and Schoenthal for a wonderful day of learning!

“It was a tight game, which is exactly what we expected it to be,” said Dubois. “They’re by no means an easy team to shut down offensively.”

In Saturday’s final game, Cartwright scored all four of Creston’s goals, two in the first period, with the second shorthanded, and two in the third, one about five minutes in and the third shorthanded with 1:18 remaining. The Rockies scored

Dubois was pleased with defencemen Gagnon and Kilcommons’ contributions to the score.

2016

The Creston Valley Thunder Cats made short work of the Columbia Valley Rockies, shutting their Eddie Mountain Division rivals out of the first round of Kootenay International Junior Hockey League playoffs.

With scores of 7-2, 5-1, 3-2 and 4-2, Creston ended the best-of-seven series with game 4 in Invermere on Saturday.

They will take on the Kimberley Dynamiters, who won their series with the Fernie Ghostriders 4-1, with the first two games in Kimberley on Saturday and Sunday, and games 3 and 4 in Creston on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Thunder Cats head coach Jeff Dubois said Creston’s secondround chances will be helped by their early victory, which allowed a full week of recovery for injured and sick players before taking on the division- and league-leading Dynamiters.

“I don’t think anybody is being naive that it’s going to be an easy series,” he said. “At the same time, we did have some success against them on home ice. We can compete with them over a seven-game series.”

After finishing the 2015-16 season with two games against the Rockies, and winning one, the Thunder Cats hosted the Invermere team for the first two playoff games on Feb. 23 and 24.

Creston started the game tentatively, with no goals until James Severs scored in the second period; the Rockies tied the score with seven seconds remaining.

two goals in the third period, between Cartwright’s.

“Like he can, he took over the game,” said Dubois.

Rockies goalie Connor McKay proved an asset to his team, stopping a total of 36 Creston shots.

“We had 17 shots in the second period and he stopped all 17,” said Dubois. “He was definitely giving them a chance to stay in the game.”

But Creston’s road game plans worked the way the coaching staff hoped, leading to the four-game victory.

“Nobody was doing their own thing,” said Dubois. “Everybody was on board. In game 4 we only gave up 23 shots, which is exactly the range we want to be in, especially on the road. We didn’t feel we gave them a chance to be successful offensively.”

PCSS boys basketball team top in Kootenays SUBMITTED

The Prince Charles Secondary School seniors boys basketball team earned the Kootenay AA title on the weekend.

CONGRATULATIONS!

The Prince Charles Secondary School seniors boys basketball team captured the Kootenay championship for AA schools in the Kootenay zones over the weekend. This was PCSS’s first Kootenay win in 13 years, entitling the team to participate in the provincial championship March 9-12 in Langley.

To meet first-ranked Golden in the finals, the Bulldogs had to first get past Kimberley. The boys started out fast, outscoring their opponents 16-2, and with strong defence increased their lead to 45-19 at the half. The second half saw strong play from the bench and the bulldogs coasted to an 80-52 win. Top scorers were Jamond Dortman with 25 and Jake Dumas with 23, and Jordin Czar and Andrew Armstrong adding nine and eight points, respectively. There were strong performances off the bench from Hans Nicolajsen and Jeff Foster.

The final matchup was to be a thriller as both teams were evenly matched. Again, the boys started strong and jumped out to a 27-11 lead with scoring from all players on the court and strong defence that made Golden turn over the ball eight times. Golden clawed their way back to within seven by the end of the first quarter with clutch shooting from under the net and a couple of three-pointers from their point guard.

The teams traded baskets in the first half of the second quarter before the Bulldogs, with timely rebounding and quick defence, created scoring that stretched their lead to 18 at the half.

The boys made the third quarter interesting when they came out flat and Golden scored 14 straight points that cut the lead to four. The boys capitalized on Golden’s fouls late in the third, scoring six free throws and gaining a 67-58 lead at the end of the third quarter. Golden again battled back with the long ball sinking three three-pointers in a row to tie the game up with four minutes to go.

Golden hit another three to put them ahead, but a free throw from Makaiah Gorham and a couple of baskets by Dumas put the Bulldogs ahead by two. Golden again sunk another three to go ahead by one with just over a minute to play. The boys had a couple of key steals to stop Golden’s attack and a key three-pointer

by Dumas sealed the deal for PCSS. The final score 83-79.

“The boys played their hearts out and left everything on the floor,” said coach Doug Dortman. “I am very proud of the way they played as a team. They deserved that win.”

The boys had their highest shooting percentage at 66 from the field the first half and tallying 32 defensive rebounds and 19 steals by the end of the game. Dumas led the scoring with 40 points, Dortman with 20 and Gorham with 11, along with strong defence and rebounding from Armstrong and Jordin Czar.

Ethan Plotnikoff and Luke Casemore had strong showings off the bench.

The team has set up an account at Columbia Bottle Recycling in support of the trip to provincials.

Get your finances on track with these 3 skills

(NC) As we go through life, our financial responsibilities and priorities are bound to change.

Whether you’re moving out on your own for the first time or planning your retirement, having the right information at these transition points can help you make smart financial decisions to reach your goals.

No matter your life stage or age, you can improve your financial skills, knowledge and confidence.

Improving these three critical skills can help you take charge of your personal finances:

Count Me In, Canada explains that setting goals is a key part of a good financial plan. It’s important to know about the different savings products and the benefits you may be eligible for (the Canada Education Savings Plan, for example), so that you can plan for the future and save to achieve your goals.

3. Learn to recognize signs of fraud and financial abuse.

How to protect seniors against fraud and financial abuse

(NC) March is Fraud Prevention Month in Canada, and the federal government is reminding Canadians to be on guard against offers that seem too good to be true.

Seniors, in particular, are often targeted by fraudsters.

According to the Government of Canada, financial abuse of seniors is the most common form of elder abuse in Canada.

Those who are isolated are even more at risk.

While powers of attorney and joint bank accounts can help seniors and those who care for them manage and protect their finances, these tools can be abused by people whom seniors have put in positions of trust.

In addition, thieves regularly target seniors with telephone and email scams and fraudulent telemarketing.

One of the easiest ways for all of us to find signs of identity theft and fraud is to order a credit report every year from both of Canada’s credit reporting agencies, Equifax and TransUnion. A credit report will

show you when someone has opened credit cards and other loans in your name, leaving you responsible to pay them back, with interest.

Seniors can also use direct deposit for pensions and other regular payments, and preauthorized payments for regular bills to reduce the number of banking transactions they need to ask someone else to carry out for them.

Here are some additional tips that all Canadians should follow to prevent fraud and financial abuse: • Keep your passwords and personal identification number (PIN) to yourself—avoid writing them down.

• If you must write this personal information down, keep it in a secure place, such as a safe or a hiding place. Also try not carry your PINs together with your cards while you are in public. If you must carry your PIN with you, keep it in

a pocket or other place separate apart from your cards. That way, if your card is stolen, your PIN won’t be with it.

• Be wary of calls or emails asking for personal information.

Feel free to hang up on such callers.

• If a caller says they are from your bank, or another financial institution, say you will call back using the number you have on file to verify what the caller is saying.

• Only provide personal information when it is you who has initiated the call to a reputable business.

• For major decisions, get your own legal advice before signing any documents.

• If you think someone may have defrauded you, contact the police, your bank, or your lawyer.

You can also find more tips on how to prevent online fraud and financial abuse at ItPaysToKnow. gc.ca. www.newscanada.com

down once they have mounted their horses is an invaluable part of the experience at TRP,” she said. “Our horses understand their riders to a large extent.”

When choosing a therapy horse, Michelle and the other instructors look for a trusting, reliable, healthy and physically sound horse about 10 years old.

They are loving, nurturing, sturdy and cute.

“Even horses who are tame do not necessarily make a good therapy horse,” Michelle points out.

For example, some horses work better one-on-one rather than with a large number of people. Horses have different personalities like people do.

Allowing horses downtime to play and socialize together also makes better riding horses because the horses are happy.

Therapy horses should be medium size (15 hands tall) because this is better for side walkers who assist riders on horses. Riding lessons for people with disabilities run in the spring, summer and fall while people without disabilities can ride once a year at summer camp. They can learn a thing or two from the disabled riders.

Since I moved to Creston eight years ago, I have been riding in the TRP every spring, summer and fall session. I am now a confidant intermediate rider and gaining experience in my riding.

The first time I met Michelle’s horse, Kit, everything changed. I

cOMMUniTY love Kit! She is a quarter horse with a dark black mane and tail.

She is my dream horse. The rest of her is a chestnut brown color.

I have ridden many horses, but they weren’t the same. Michelle knew that Kit was the right horse for me! We have a very special connection. When I am working with Kit, she listens to my body language.

I have had both Christine Ross and Michelle as riding instructors. They are fantastic! I have achieved many awards like being classified as a para-equestrian rider. I have won first place and second place in some of the video competitions that I have entered. These videos have been posted on YouTube (search “Creston Therapeutic Riding”).

Dressage is a type of riding that I have performed on Kit for video competitions across Canada. I have to walk and trot around on Kit directing her with my reins, legs and feet, to do a pattern of skills that are recorded. Then these videos are sent in to compete with riders across Canada. I love it!

When I am volunteering at the TRP, I have made a huge difference too. For all of the volunteers who work there, including me, we have to do many jobs.

One of them is poop scooping.

Yes, it might sound gross, but it’s worth it. The horses need a clean stall to live in and need food every day. I also brush the horses down, get them untacked and take them to their paddocks.

The Therapeutic Riding Program (TRP) is one of the programs offered by the Creston and District Society for Community Living (CDSCL).

There are all kinds of riding lessons held there like beginners, intermediate and show jumping for people with disabilities. Some of those lessons can lead to competitions like the Para-Equestrian Canada video competitions.

The TRP needs help through fundraising events, such as the Art Trot and birdhouse decorating competition, on March 4-6 at the Creston and District Community Complex in the Erickson Room. Other funding for the program comes from grants, donors and sponsors.

A program this special requires a team of amazing people. A very important person on the team is program director Michelle Whiteaway. Her natural love of horses at a young age started her on a path to become a therapeutic riding instructor. Michelle’s main roles are program Attention all Dogs! (and Dog Owners) director and intermediDue to reduced irrigation during last summer’s drought conditions, ate instructor.

Frances Collison on Kit in the Therapeutic Riding Program.

Every summer, the TRP riding program puts on a summer camp.

This teaches students all about horses, the ability to take care of one and to have fun riding. The camp even ends with a treasure hunt! Being a part of something special like TRP makes you feel special. It is wonderful riding horses and being able to be on YouTube. I enjoy my special bond with Kit too. The TRP has taught me skills I thought I would never have, but I ended up having them.

Please come to Art Trot to buy something! Every year my mom and I donate pillows with handmade sewn pillowcases. On the

TRP property, a roof for the small arena is being planned so horse riding lessons can go on whatever the weather. It is important to fundraise for the new arena roof this year. I would really love to be able to ride Kit when the weather is bad!

I really like being around horses, especially Kit. She inspires me to ride and so does Michelle. I imagine myself on Kit just like my instructor, Michelle, on Kit. It’s at TRP that I get to be with my best friends, Kit and Michelle. I learn so much from them. It’s a wonderful place to be!

Underhill retires from CVCN role CRESTON VALLEY COMMUNITY NETWORK

In 2001, the Creston Valley Community Response Network, under the auspices of the Public Trustee and Guardian’s office in Vancouver, was formed by Julie Giles of Creston Valley Home Support and Mary Underhill of the Creston Valley Hospice Society, to deal with various types of abuse. Over 15 years, the focus has changed.

Longtime facilitator Mary Underhill at her final Creston Valley Community Network meeting on Feb. 10.

Submitted

The group of approximately 30 organizations now meets as the Creston Valley Community Network (CVCN), and deals with information gathering and sharing of projects of benefit to the community.

Since the beginning, Mary Underhill, 83-year-old volunteer and grief counsellor, has facilitated the group. After 15 years of service, Underhill is retiring. Signe Miller will be taking over the position at the monthly meetings, held every second Wednesday morning at 8 a.m., in the library meeting room.

Underhill’s service was recognized with a gift of flowers, and cake and coffee, shared by all in attendance. CVCN

secretary Erika Woker thanked Underhill for her compassion and ability to bring all the diverse groups together for everyone’s benefit.

The CVCN has become, over the last 15 years, a forum for agencies and nonprofit organizations to promote their services and activities. No political, religious or commercial discussions are allowed, but brochures and newsletters are passed out, and all members benefit from the sharing of information.

Minutes of the meetings are circulated widely, by email, and provide details on many current projects. Organizations, who cannot send a representative, can email information to secretary Woker at ewoker@shaw.ca.
