The Town of Creston has been informed by the provincial government that its projections indicate the town’s population could drop below the 5,000 mark in this year’s census.

While the official numbers might not be known until next year, the information was intended to alert town council that if the population does not stay above the 5,000 threshold, the costs of policing borne by town property would revert to near pre-2011 levels.

“The provincial data shows that Creston’s population has declined steadily since the last census, which showed our population was 5,332,” Mayor Ron Toyota said on Monday.

“The latest estimate from BC Stats (Ministry of Technology, Innovation and Citizens’ Services) says we were under 5,000 in 2015.”

If the 2016 federal census confirms an under-5,000 population, the Town of Creston would once again not be responsible for policing costs.

Instead, a significantly lower police tax would be included in municipal property tax bills.

The net difference to Creston taxpayers when the population jumped over the 5,000 mark was several hundred dollars for an average property, Toyota said.

“I am surprised because it doesn’t seem like our population is shrinking, but if it has to such an extent it will mean town council will have some interesting discussions next year.”

Council would consider a number of options at that time. Toyota said his personal inclination would be to fund a new police reserve (to be used if and when the population goes back over 5,000), pay for some infrastructure needs and reduce property taxes.

Artist creating whimsy in Erickson studio

Andrea Revoy’s love of laughter and joy of creating are reflected in the art pieces she makes. Quirky and smile inducing, they are also meticulously detailed. The ceramic artist and potter’s work is instantly identifiable to her growing legion of fans.

In her sun-drenched home studio in Erickson, Revoy moves comfortably among her chosen media, which now include fibres that she dyes, spins and weaves.

It was in Red Deer, though, that she got serious about art.

“Hairdressing is hard on the body,” said Revoy. “Hard on the back and neck, and I had a shoulder injury, too.”

She needed options. First, she took an artistic welding class in the summer.

“I was going to be a welding sculptor. I was going to go into it big time! We (she and her husband, Brian) had a farm and I was going to fill it up with welded sculptures!”

That dream faded when Brian dissuaded her from buying a small welding machine.

everything — painting, sculpture, ceramics, design, art history and even general studies.

But I was working so I could never take all the courses I needed to get a diploma.

“But once I started into ceramics I didn’t want to do anything else — I just wasn’t interested.”

The couple moved to Creston in 2009 — “I’d never been here but I just wanted to get out of prairie winters and move back to B.C.” — and bought an orchard in Erickson.

“I didn’t want to go back to hairdressing. I wanted to do ceramics, focusing on small

Visitors to Blue Moon Pottery were recently greeted at the door by a basketful of hand-dyed fibres in vibrant blues, greens, yellows, reds and oranges. Some will be used to add hair to the clay works she has on the go, including “Marie Antoinettes” and three clay mermaids now in progress.

Born in Germany and raised in northern Vancouver Island communities, Revoy grew up drawing and painting.

“But I also learned to knit and sew and crochet — ‘ladies’ handicrafts’,” she laughs. “I used to spend hours on my mom’s sewing machine, sewing doll clothes.”

Sewing no longer appeals to her.

“I won’t sew now — it makes me angry! It’s just awful!”

After graduating from high school she lived for periods in Victoria and Whitehorse, becoming an aesthetician and hairdresser “because I couldn’t find a decent job.”

“He said, ‘Let’s go in together and get a bigger one,’ ” she recalled. “He found one that was huge and SO complicated.

And I thought, ‘I’m not using that!’ ” Still working days as a hairdresser, she enrolled in the Red Deer College (RDC) art program, primarily to pursue her interest in painting.

“But once I started into ceramics I couldn’t go back to painting. It was too flat for me.”

Over the next few years, she took courses toward a twoyear program certificate.

“The program at RDC was like the first two years of a BFA (bachelor of fine arts). You start off doing

areas of the field, not the whole shebang. I worked at trying to draw on the techniques I had learned in college and changing their use.”

In her studio, Revoy makes functional items, like mugs and drawer pulls, and sculpts clay into whimsical pieces, like the “Cirque du Poulet” display she created for a local art show, which features cartoon-like chickens in circus poses.

things, I have tried to make function in other forms like tiles, light fixtures and drawer pulls. Sculpture is my passion.

She points to the mermaids lying on a workshop table, partially covered with plastic to keep the clay moist. It takes a closer look to realize the scales on the lower portion of their bodies are made by dipping old crocheted doilies into slip (liquid clay) and applying them to form scales on the flippers.

“I have three of these on the go, but I think I’ll keep making more. I like that they are a little bigger than most of my other pieces, and they make me happy.”

They will be in the Artrageous show in Kimberley at Centre 64, March 1-26. A public reception will be held 2-4 p.m. March 5.

A visit to Blue Moon Pottery has one particular challenge. A visitor’s eyes dart from one table to another, one shelf to the next, where Revoy’s remarkable range of creations compete for attention.

“I am always attracted to whimsical, colourful things full of patterns and textures,” she said. “I like things that evoke the feeling that there is a story it is trying to tell, whether real or imagined. The pieces I make are inspired by events and things that I see and hear around me everyday that make me smile and laugh.”

from page 3

When she started making what she now calls her “Marie Antoinettes”, small busts reminiscent of the French heroine, Revoy spun yarn to use for their hair.

“I was spinning a lot. I had a lot of yarn, a lot of wool and I had started spinning raw sheep locks. I thought they looked like hair.”

Why Marie Antoinette?

“She was so fashion forward in her time. I had done some research about her and her designer and they are fascinating.”

Some of her inspiration comes from people who see her work.

“A lady at the Images show (last fall) was looking at the Marie Antoinettes and said, ‘You need to do something with cake!’ so I’ll probably make some cake stands to display them on,” she laughed.

Borrowing techniques continues, too. She makes drawer pulls using moulds she creates herself and the shapes turned out to be perfect for parasols for her chickens, too.

Blue Moon Pottery items are sold in Invermere, Nelson, Crawford Bay, Fort Langley, Sooke and Calgary, and locally in Puffin Design on 14th Avenue and the Kunze Gallery.

“Lots of polyester and ‘virgin acrylic’,’” she smiled.

While her mugs and drawer pulls are steady sellers, she has usually resisted making them on a production scale, until now.

A cash advance, or debt nightmare?

(NC) You just used your credit card to buy $200 worth of groceries when, suddenly, you realize you need $50 cash.

So you ask the cashier for some “cash back” or a “cash advance” via your credit card. Within minutes you have your money and are out the door.

Convenient? Yes. Costly? Definitely.

Credit card cash back is expensive

(NC) There’s an easier way to manage your tax correspondence— one that doesn’t involve constantly checking your mailbox or filing papers.

Let the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) tell you when you’ve got mail with their online mail service.

With online mail, you can receive some of your tax correspondence, like your benefit statements or the newly designed notice of assessment, as soon as they’re ready. Online mail is fast, easy, and secure, and gives you instant access to your tax records all in one place.

You can register for this service in one of three ways: • Include your email address on your 2015 income tax and benefit return – either online, on paper, or through your representative – and you’ll be automatically registered.

FINANCIAL

When you use your credit card to get cash, your financial institution starts charging you interest as soon as that money is in your hand. There is no interest-free grace period, and the interest rate is often higher than it is for regular purchases.

You may also have to pay a fee for the cash advance, which depending on your credit card issuer can be a fixed amount per transaction, a percentage of the amount of the cash back, or both.

“If you don’t have the funds available in

• Register for My Account (or log in if you’re already registered) and select the “Manage online mail” option.

• Contact the Individual Income Tax and Trust Enquiries line by telephone at 1-800-959-8281.

After you’re signed up, you’ll get your tax correspondence online. To access your online mail, you must be registered for My Account, the CRA’s secure online service portal. With My Account, you can also check the status of your return, change your address, check your RRSP and TFSA limits, print your proof of income (Option C), and more.

your other accounts, and you take a cash advance using your credit card, remember to make a payment on your credit card as soon as possible to avoid the high interest charges,” says Lucie Tedesco, commissioner of the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC).

Interest and fees also apply to other transactions You’re also charged interest right away and may have to pay a fee when you use your credit card to: • withdraw cash from an automated teller machine (ATM); • withdraw cash at a bank branch; • buy money orders or travellers cheques.

Some Canadians also use cash back on their credit card as a way of making ends meet from time to time.

“This could indicate people are having trouble managing their money,” Tedesco adds. “If unexpected expenses come up, talk to your financial institution about your options. There may be alternatives to using your credit card that will cost less in interest and fees.”

5 tips for stressfree tax filing

(NC) Everyone knows they have to file taxes, but knowing where to start can be tough. Here are five tips for a stress-free filing.

1. Keep yourself organized. Staying organized should be a year-round activity. If you are just starting now, begin by gathering income slips, receipts and government correspondence.

2. Tally up your 2015 income. Did you cash in your RRSP? Sell an investment property? Rent out your apartment? Use your car for a ride-sharing service? Know your income so you know what needs to be declared and whether or not any tax has been withheld.

3. Research applicable deductions. Did you donate to charity? Take care of a loved one? Use public transit? Questions like these can help determine what you can claim.

4. Use a reputable tax-filing service. These companies can provide guidance, ensure you are filing properly and help maximize your refund.

5. Don’t wait to file. Filing ahead of May 2nd allows you to take your time and make sure all information is accurate. Scrambling to file means you might miss out on credits that would help maximize your refund. newscanada.com

I’ll admit to be a little jaundiced when I hear about yet another screw-up in a B.C. government ministry. It’s pretty much same old same old for this sorry lot. Bureaucrats or elected officials bungle a job or botch it completely, try to hide the fact and then, and only then, fess up and make a halfhearted apology with a promise not to do it again.

The latter should be a given — why make the same mistake again when there are so many untapped possibilities?

I didn’t, and still can’t, get particularly wound up about news in January that a hard drive containing data about 3.4 million students and teachers can’t be found. While I can appreciate the unease that the potential for mischief, if not outright crime, might be held on that hard drive, the fact is that just because something can’t be found doesn’t mean it is in the hands of someone who intends to do harm.

A press release last week from the NDP summarizes the problem: “In September 2015, Christy Clark’s government admitted that they had lost an unprotected hard drive which stored more than three million personal student records and thousands of other personal records — including information on health records and financial aid. A new report from the Office of Information and Privacy Commissioner shows that this unprecedented loss of information

was completely avoidable, that the hard drive was stored improperly as a cost-saving measure and that the hard drive is still missing.”

Other media reports describe a team of 50 bureaucrats scouring

In his essay, “Mountains and Rivers Sutra”, 13th century Zen master Eihei Dogen tells us that there are hierarchies of understanding. If you are in the mountains, you might see grass, trees, rocks and remote mountain cabins. Then you might realize that these are only separate things that make up mountains, and that there is no such thing as a mountain.

“Mountain” is just a word. Dogen says that realizing there is no such thing as a mountain, that there are only trees, rocks, paths and creeks, doesn’t take our understanding far enough.

Then he goes deeper: “Even if you view mountains as the seven treasures’ splendour, this is not returning to the source.” The next level you might understand is that grass, trees, rocks and remote mountain cabins are simply various combinations of the elements and atoms that make up our planet.

Then, you see mountains a bit more deeply. But Dogen says that even that level of understanding is not “returning to the source.” Then, he goes beyond the physicality of mountains and tells us that even if we recognize the spiritual value of mountains and deeply know their sacredness, we have still not gone

far enough. The truth about mountains is even deeper because these levels of understanding are nothing but conditioned views.

But these views are exactly what he has been talking about so far in his

Lorne Eckersley desk drawers and storage boxes last August before passing on information about the loss to the privacy commissioner.

The data is not current, with the information apparently last updated in 2009, so it might not be of obvious value to anyone, but it is easy to sympathize with the unease among parents, students and teachers that confidential info could surface in any number of unpleasant ways.

Education Minister Mike Bernier admits that the breach of security (it should have been encrypted when the data was transferred to another storage format) is unacceptable, and he’s issued the requisite apology.

And while the NDP is happy to continue on its rant about the hard drive being misplaced, it has no better ideas about how to find it than

anyone else does. A hard drive is not a cellphone — you can’t just call it and listen for the ring tone.

A few decades ago the same issue could have arisen, in the form of a stack of papers. And it would have been a pretty large stack if it listed data about more than three million people. That stack might have been easier to find, though, than a relatively small hard drive, which isn’t much harder to misplace than a ring of keys. Heck, I have an external hard drive at home that I haven’t been able to find for months. And like the missing one from the Ministry of Education, it has information that someone could have mischievous fun with because it backs up all the files on my laptop.

It’s really up to the general public to get up in arms at yet another screw-up in another ministry, and to remember them when the next election rolls around. Not, of course, to say that an NDP government and its bureaucrats would be any more responsible, but the time comes when a price has to be paid for incompetence, doesn’t it? The time comes in every government’s life when complacency sets in, and the entire system gets too entrenched in its ways, becoming more and more isolated from the people it is meant to serve. This government’s “best before” date has definitely passed.

Q

A Zen'sEye View Kuya Minague essay. So now he is saying that what he has been teaching us is just another conditioned view. “These ways of seeing a mountain don’t represent true understanding. They are ‘merely looking through a bamboo pipe at a corner of the sky.’ ” This is a typical Zen metaphor.

There is the vast sky, the boundless sky, the beautiful sky where all kinds of things are happening. A cloud goes by. Birds soar. Breezes caress. There is no end to the sky.

You can look at the sky forever. It turns pale blue in morning. It displays all the vibrant colours of sunsets and dawns. As humans, we are made in such a way that our hearts

UOTE OF THE WEEK

can be broken open by looking at the sky.

However, for some reason, we forget to see the whole sky. Instead, we have a bamboo tube, two centimetres in diameter, and whichever way we look, we are always looking through this tube with the mistaken understanding that we are seeing our whole life. Dogen is telling us that even if we know that “mountain” is only a word, that the objects on mountains are only elements and atoms, and that mountains are sacred, we still don’t get it. All these views limit our understanding in the same way that looking through a bamboo pipe limits our view of the sky.

Suggested practice: Take some time to really study the sky from a place where you see the horizons.

After 20 minutes, look at the same sky through a straw and then reflect on what this says about the way you see your life.

Blind golfer should have community sponsor To the Editor: I am amazed that no business or group has come forward to sponsor our longtime resident Darren Douma, a blind golfer and member of the Creston Golf Club.

By achieving national and international status, he has brought attention to our community and to the possibilities of persons with disabilities, while financing his travel and entry fees without support. This amounts to a couple of thousand dollars for each event he travels to, a financial burden for a family man.

Douma has competed to a Nations Cup win, with team Canada, and placed second overall in the ISPS Handa Australian Blind Golf championships in New South Wales. He has also won two of his three matches in the Nova Scotia Invitational in Truro, and competed in the Ressmeyer Vision Cup in Milan, Italy.

To promote the sport, he brought the 2015 ISPS Handa Canadian Blind Golf Championships to the Creston Golf Club, injecting value to our local economy.

Athletes who achieve national and international status usually have sponsors beating down their doors, but Douma has not found an enthusiastic partner as yet.

Rated as B3 sight impairment means that Douma has some sight, but must

opiNioN LiNe

compete with a sighted assistant to guide his shots. As a lifelong golfer, he was reluctant to leave the game when his eyesight started to fail. The Western Canadian Blind Golf Association gave him the chance to continue.

Douma now is a Canadian Blind Sports golf commissioner, and a director of the Canadian Council for the Blind as a B.C. representative and on the sports committee.

As an enthusiastic promoter of activities for the blind, he has formed a Visually Impaired-Blind Empowerment (VIBE) chapter in Creston.

Anyone interested in supporting this enthusiastic athlete, or joining VIBE, please contact Douma at 250-428-1807 or thedoumas71@gmail.com, or visit www.vibebc.com.

She is not wrong. We are in the most calamitous threat in the history of our species. And we, collectively, let it happen as we allowed ourselves to be seduced by consumerism and the hope of ridiculous wealth.

Chair will miss CVCN members

To the Editor: I’m glad you print The Teen Take column. It’s heartening to see that there are thoughtful and intelligent young people in our community.

I am writing especially about the March 3 contribution of Emily RitterRiegling. It breaks my heart, actually, that a Grade 9 student needs to ask her elders to pull up our socks and start taking climate change seriously. It is her future we are compromising so that our materialistic and self-indulgent lifestyles can go on freely.

To the Editor: I love the Warm Fuzzies, but this time one simply wasn’t enough somehow.

After 15 years of chairing the Creston Valley Community Network, I decided the time had come to “retire”, and thus told the group at the January meeting. The “official” retirement date was to be Feb. 10.

A total of 28 people were at that 8 a.m. meeting. And, would you believe, we had a wee party after the business was looked after — complete with coffee and cake, and a gift to me of a bottle of good white wine and two exquisite orchids, as well as lots of hugs and good wishes. I’m still blown away! (Evidently, the “do” was much easier to plan since I’m not on the Internet!)

How can I thank you all? I’ve come to love and respect this amazing group of people over the years, and I shall miss seeing you. Coffee or lunch sometimes, maybe? I hope so.

Mary Underhill Creston

The morning passed quickly with a whirlwind of new names and faces, lots of hugs and cheerful welcomes.

When the initial rush dwindled, I glanced at the clock and realized it was lunchtime, so off to the bakery I went. The bakery is one door down from the church office, and en route I passed the garbage container I had earlier tossed my hamburger into. The takeout box HARING THE OVE was gone.

When I arrived at the stood there, realizing how I take for office, I tossed the offending package granted walking down the street to a into the first municipal garbage con- restaurant of my choice for yet anothtainer I saw. er meal.

Since that day, my heart has been lightened considerably as I came to know the depths of care and compassion in the hearts of my parishioners, their passion for justice, and their hot lunch, thrift store, refugee support and many other ministries created to create safe spaces for vulnerable people in the community.

Since that day, learning about the care and support provided by many other organizations, businesses and individuals in this wonderful community has also lightened my heart. In all my years in ministry, and being part of ministerial associations in every community I have served, Creston’s ministerial stands out for the wide scope of support provided to the community. The Christmas hamper drive, the choir performances and the yearround outreach all combine to share love and light throughout the Creston Valley.

I am reminded of a quote from A.W. Streane incorporating a teaching from the Talmud: “Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.” (Ethics/Chapters of the Fathers 2:16) It is both delight and privilege to be part of a community with such a clear intention to share the love. Some days the amount of work to do feels daunting, but if I close my eyes and imagine all the other helping hands and hearts around me, I gain new strength and commitment. We may not complete the work in our lifetimes, but I have no fear that it will ever be abandoned.

Rev. Paula Ashby is the pastor of Creston’s Trinity United Church.

My first full day in Creston, I stood on the sidewalk and wept.

The day before, I had driven to Creston from the Coast. It was a grueling 14-hour drive. As dinnertime approached, I realized how very hungry

Just being a dipper

To the left of the sink was a stainless steel water bucket often filled, nearly to the brim, with cool, clear water for farmhouse drinking.

and down. I am not sure, but they might be waiting for the right time to dive, like waiting for the right wind to come along.

Neither am I sure of how much they can see while underwater or out of water in the way of food, but they do find insects in various stages, as well as snails and worms to feed themselves and their young sheltered in an often misty, mountain creekside nest. Another little feature of water dippers is a whitish eyelid that keeps “flashing” as it flicks over the eye and back.

On Feb. 26, while having lunch on some snow-covered creek rocks, we weren’t hearing any birds except for a few solitary chickadees and perhaps golden crowned kinglets. Then, something dark whizzed by us uttering this sharp, staccato call.

This totally unexpected water dipper descended into a creek opening as quickly as it had appeared from an opening just a

few feet upstream. With three or four feet of snow still covering much of the creek and the creek boulders, one would hardly expect to see this seldom seen bird in the creek at an elevation of 4,310 feet, except in summer.

Water dippers are very much at home around our mountain creeks. They don’t know any other habitat except perhaps some rocky lakeshore or ocean shoreline. They are so familiar with life in and around a mountain creek that it wouldn’t surprise me if the water dipper that whizzed by didn’t also take a “polar bear” swim under the snow and ice from one creek opening to another. In summer, they swim or swim-walk underwater all the time with the current, from one rock perch to another rock or to shallow water, foraging for food as they go. I have noticed that, except where the water isn’t so swift, they don’t

usually dive into an open current but will jump in on the lee side of a rock where there is a back current or a bit of calm.

Sometimes I have seen them jump into swift water, bobbing along in the water to another rock perch or forage area.

If it isn’t already, make the dipper one of your favorite birds by starting out your spring birdwatching expeditions with a search for the elusive American dipper. Great places to spot them can be Summit Creek at the valley bottom or, as the snow recedes, farther upstream in Summit Creek right to and including Bridal Lake.

Does the creek life of a dipper sound like “dip”-a-deedoo-dah? It may not. Life in a creek is as normal for a dipper as your back yard is for a robin.

and injure the plant. In the orchards, the flower buds may suffer damage, as well. This shows up later on as a small or non-existent crop. One year, the frost ran through the orchard when it was in blossom and we had next to no fruit below six feet off the ground.

This year, try spraying your weeds with vinegar. The mildly acidic solution burns the tops off the weeds on contact but is non-toxic to you. It may require a repeat treatment for the really strong weeds.

Before the nursery gets busy, we are moving some young trees around the farm to create more space by the greenhouses. Overspray from the orchard has collected on the sides of the greenhouse plastic and eaten away at the poly edges. Normally the greenhouse covers are warrantied to last four years but can be used for eight years. After that they are recycled. With the trees nearby they don’t seem to last past the four years. Having a bit more room around the structures will make them a little easier to work on and use, anyway. After all the weeds are dealt with and the trees moved, it will be time to work on the garden soil.

Fly-fishing enthusiast speaking in library series CRESTON VALLEY PUBLIC LIBRARY

Submitted

John Byrne has been fly-fishing for more than 50 years, and speaks in a March 10 presentation at the Creston library.

OPEN HOUSE Saturday March 19 Join us for coffee

In-house specials!

PRIZE DRAWS!

The next installment of the Creston Valley Public Library’s Great Outdoors speaker series is “50 Years of Fly Fishing” with Michael Byrne, at 7 p.m. tonight.

Fly-fishing is a mystery to many and a passion for others. This talk introduces fly-fishing to those who may have dabbled but who are interested in learning more about what is involved and seeing what equipment is used, how some of it has changed over the past half century and other things you need to think about if you want to experience this fascinating pastime.

Byrne will also show pictures of the places that

Dragon’s Breath?

he has fished in England and North America over the past 57 years, showing the beauty and variety of surroundings that make fly-fishing more than just fishing.

Byrne has been fishing since 1958 and fly-fishing since 1964. He has fished many rivers in northern England and in Alberta, B.C. and Montana, and currently explores the Goat River, “which is a much better trout river than many realize.”

The library’s Great Outdoors series will run monthly for the next several months. Watch for upcoming topics, including “Herbs in the Wild” and “The Ups and Downs of Bicycle Touring”. For more information, contact the library at 250-4284141.

Fact: Bad breath is not normal in pets.

Dental scale and polish should be done routinely.

Dental diseases are a leading cause of other body system failures, especially in older pets.

Nelson’s Breakwater offering new twist in concert

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

Fans of a wide range of musical genres will enjoy a new take on old favourites when Nelson’s Breakwater performs at Rotacrest Hall on Friday.

“We’re going to start some tunes out in very traditional ways and take them on a ride, so to speak,” said cellist Jeff Faragher.

The four-piece band, which has performed at the Kaslo Jazz Festival, draws on classical, Celtic, world and jazz training to create a one-of-a-kind concert featuring danceable and familiar music, including some from Game of Thrones, Bach and Coldplay. Even Bob Dylan’s “Blowin in the Wind” gets a new twist.

“We’ve bluegrassed it up and Ben [Johnson, percussionist] even throws down a reggae beat for a while,” said Faragher.

A classical cellist who has explored Celtic, Canadian folk and Indian music, Faragher — also con-

ductor of the Symphony of the Kootenays, which performs in Creston April 10 — combines his talent with fiddler Aurora Smith and bassist Rob Fahie in the usual Breakwater trio, expanded by one with the addition of Johnson to this tour, which stops in Kaslo, Creston, Cranbrook, Kimberley and Nelson from March 10-14.

“It is a bit of smorgasbord of what each person brings to the mix,” said Faragher. “But where we meet in the middle is where we bring traditional styles to the mix.”

For the Creston performance only, fiddler Zavellennahh RT (née Huscroft) will also be part of the concert.

“She’s such a prolific writer,” said Faragher. “We do a couple of her tunes infused with other things.”

Doors to the March 11 show open at 7 p.m. for a 7:30 performance.

Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for students, available at Black Bear Books or at the door. For more about the band, visit breakwaterband.com.

(From left) Ben Johnson, Jeff Faragher, Aurora Smith and Rob Fahie are Breakwater.

KES hosting second entrepreneurship program

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

Following up on the success of last year’s Local Entrepreneurship Accelerator Program (LEAP), Kootenay Employment Services (KES) is looking for six successful applicants for a second round.

The 13-week program, a collaboration with Simon Fraser University, offers social entrepreneurs help with

the training, mentorship and community connection they need to develop an idea into sustainable business.

“This is a hands-on, practical approach to idea incubation that leaves participants with the skills and confidence to create with bootson-the-ground action,” said Amber McGregor, a LEAP facilitator. “This is a fast-track program that gives Creston participants access to some of the best entrepreneurial content

available, coupled with a highly supportive environment to put it into action and evaluate results as you go.”

KES is providing tuition and materials worth about $2,000 to successful applicants, who could be non-profit champions with project ideas that could make money to further their mission or entrepreneurs with a business idea that could help the community.

“Their dedication is hours,” said McGregor. “They do not have to put any money up.”

McGregor will lead drop-in sessions each week, while Jason Found runs weekly evening

classes. On top of that, participants have access to other KES staff, including those dealing with Web support and graphic design. Participants are also expected to put in about four to eight hours of independent work each week.

The deadline for application is March 18, with the first evening class slated for April 6. At the end of the course, participants will take part in a “barn raising”, in which paying community members will select one enterprise to take home the event’s admission fees to kickstart their business.

At last year’s “barn raising”,

four participants presented their ideas to the audience, with Ilana Cameron’s Honeybird Coffee Roasters taking the top spot.

“If I hadn’t been a part of LEAP, my business would still be a dream,” said Cameron. “I wouldn’t have the skills, tools or connections that the program gave me. The peer and community support that I have now are especially important. I feel a real motivation to honour that support and pay it back to community.”

For more about LEAP, contact Kootenay Employment Services at 250-428-5655.

Academy helping drivers stay safe on the road

Creston Driving Academy owner Bill Doeleman and his wife, Lorraine.

Y

ou may not know Bill Doeleman personally, but if you’ve ever had, say, a parking ticket in the last couple of decades, you know Creston’s former bylaw officer by reputation.

But since starting Story and Creston Driving photo by Academy in January, his professional philosBrian ophy has taken a new Lawrence direction.

“I’m trying to be proactive, not reactive now,” Doeleman said with a laugh.

A former sheriff, Doeleman and his wife — Lorraine, an Adam Robertson Elementary School teacher — moved with their family to Creston from Mission in 1995.

“We wanted to get back to a small community,” said Doeleman, who grew up in Terrace, and later studied criminology at Simon Fraser University.

Doeleman worked for the Town of Creston until 2013, after a knee replacement made it difficult for him to stand or walk for any great length or time — but he can sit down on the job while teaching driving.

“Going from an enforcement to an educational role, it is a bit of a change, but I really enjoy it,” he said. “It’s something I’m passionate about. I really believe in safety, especially road safety.”

Training for his new career involved a three-week intensive course in Kelowna, which included 118 hours of city driving, something Doeleman isn’t fond of.

“After driving 21 years in Creston, the adventure of driving in Kelowna is interesting to say that least,” he said. “It’s challenging. … The first few days, my driving was pretty tentative, but after a couple of days, it all comes back to you.”

The course taught Doeleman to teach

others, by giving specific and concise instructions. One instructor told the class that he once told a learning driver to “go through that light,” and the driver followed the instructions to the letter — running a red light because he wasn’t told to stop.

And it also refreshed him on rules of the road, as well as good driving habits.

Shoulder checking, for example, is one good practice that drivers tend to forget, and while driving in Creston is less hectic than, say, Vancouver, safety is still important.

“Even though you can get away with not doing things in Creston, if you can establish those habits as a young person, you can drive anywhere,” he said.

Not having run his own business before, Doeleman availed himself of local assistance to get up and running, notably with Jacqui Thom and Alex Johnston at Kootenay Employment Services.

He is already giving back to the community by offering a scholarship to a local teen driver, with a student chosen

by Prince Charles Secondary School staff to receive a series of free driving lessons. This year’s five applicants already had some driving experience, so he chose to give all five “refresher” lessons.

Doeleman noted that lessons aren’t useful only to teens. Adults of all ages can also benefit from a refresher.

Of course, the main focus is helping young drivers to become safe drivers — and not just passing the road test.

“I want them to be safe and confident drivers — someone I would put my children in the car with,” he said. “If they’re safe and confident, the test is not something they’ll need to be concerned about.”

Council aiming for low 2016 tax increase

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

After a series of often lengthy committee of the whole meetings, Creston town council is on the verge of approving a 2016 budget that will lead to a property tax

increase of under three per cent for municipal services.

The budget, which would get a final look at Tuesday’s regular town council meeting (after press time), includes a 0.85 per cent increase to cover the 2015 rise in the Consumer Price Index, an

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

Tuesday March 22nd, 2016 6pm Erickson Elementary School Library 3523 Highway 3, Erickson, BC NOTICE is hereby given that a Public Hearing will be held at the date and location as noted above to receive representations from all persons who deem it in their interest to make representations regarding the following: Bylaw 2483: proposal to amend Area B Comprehensive Land Use Bylaw No. 2483, by re-designating a portion of the subject property from Agriculture (AG) to Suburban Residential (SR), and amending the zoning designation of a portion of the property from Agriculture 2 (AG2) to Suburban Residential (R1) to enable a 2-lot subdivision.

General Location & Legal Description: 1138 Spruce Road, Erickson (Lot 5 District Lot 9954 Kootenay District Plan 1500)

additional 1.04 per cent increase in core spending and a $40,000 contribution to the infrastructure replacement reserve.

An additional $25,357 will flow into town coffers from new construction. The total impact on taxpayers is a 2.94 per cent increase in municipal property taxes.

“This budget includes no new taxes for RCMP services and maintains current service levels,” town finance director Steffan Klassen told the committee of the whole at its March 1 meeting.

Taxation revenue is budgeted at $4 million, up from $3.794 million in 2015.

Revenues from all sources, including user fees, capital grants and a gas tax, total $7.451 million in the proposed budget. Proposed expenditures totalling $6.212 million would result in a $1.239 million surplus before capital expenditures, debt payments and budgeted transfers to reserves. The 2016 budget includes transfers from reserves totaling $615,000.

At the March 1 meeting, members of town council went through the entire list of capital spending projects, reducing spending on some and deferring others for future budget discussion. Dropped

from the list were proposals to add green energy components to town hall, create a sustainable landscape plan for the town hall property and funding for a public art project.

Other spending was deferred as councillors worked to keep the tax increase under three per cent.

In a presentation at an earlier meeting, Klassen outlined the directions council had given staff as it began to prepare the 2016 budget.

Included were no new taxation for RCMP, maintenance of current program service levels and an adjustment to council remuneration that adds 0.24 per cent to spending levels.

Klassen said key planning assumptions for the 2016-2020 period (municipalities are required under provincial statute to prepare five-year budget projects, which are updated annually) include budgeting for low growth, preliminary planning for a new fire hall and maintaining public works service levels.

Committee of the whole discussions led to the deferral of creating a design for a proposed market park (to enhance the Creston Valley Farmers’ Market site) for two years and direction to staff to apply for Columbia Basin Trust funding

for a 70 per cent portion of costs to construct a sidewalk connecting Northwest Boulevard and Railway Boulevard across the railway tracks.

Coun. Kevin Boehmer threw a wrench into the works at the March 1 meeting when, late in the day, he argued against pulling funds from reserves to pay for projects in 2016.

“I think that we shouldn’t be spending more than we bring in through taxes and other revenues,” he said. “I just don’t want there to be any surprises when it comes to voting on this budget,” suggesting he will oppose the budget bylaw.

When pressed to show where spending reductions could be made, Boehmer said he had made suggestions throughout the discussion, but that he didn’t expect council to make dramatic changes at that point.

“This is good information,” Mayor Ron Toyota commented. “But it really should have been brought forward three months ago when we started this process, and not now when we are nearing the date when the 2016 budget has to be finalized.”

Boehmer agreed, but continued to suggest he would be voting against the proposed budget.

T-Cats down 2-0 to Kimberley in second round

BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

After shutting the Columbia Valley Rockies out of the first round of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League playoffs, the Creston Valley Thunder Cats are down 2-0 against the Kimberley Dynamiters in the second round.

Creston lost 2-1 in double overtime on Saturday, and repeated the score in overtime on Sunday. (Games 3 and 4 were scheduled to be played yesterday and Tuesday in Creston.)

“They were both really close games that we just came out on the wrong end of,” said head coach Jeff Dubois.

Saturday’s game, he said, got off to a good start, with Creston playing a solid defensive game.

“Right throughout the game, it was real tight checking, limited in terms of scoring opportunities at both ends of ice,” he said. “It was real good road playoff hockey for us.”

Liam Plunkett — “a standout” in the game — led the scoring, with a goal midway through the first period. Creston’s lead lasted until Kimberley’s Jared Marchi tied the score at 10:29 in the second.

In a second overtime period, the Dynamiters scored the winning goal, “a point shot that went through some bodies,” said Dubois. “I don’t think Brock [Lefebvre, goalie] was able to see it.”

In total, Lefebvre stopped 25 shots in that game, with Kimberley’s Tyson Brouwer stopping 28.

“It was a one-on-one battle between the two of them,” said Dubois. “Both of them made a number of great saves.”

The Dyanmiters scored just over seven minutes in, and Creston ran into penalty trouble early in Sunday’s game before Nicholas Kovacik tied the score with 6:20 remaining in the period.

“It was a hard-work goal with a point shot through traffic and a rebound we capitalized on,” said Dubois.

It was also the final goal until Kimberley scored the game-winner 17 seconds into overtime.

“It was bad luck for [Lefebvre] being on the losing end of both games,” said Dubois. “He put us in a position to win and we could have easily won both games.”

While it was disappointing to have two losses leading into the first two home games of the

Stepsisters seeking payback in Cinderella sequel

BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Fifteen months ago, the Creston Valley was abuzz with chatter about the Footlighters Theatre Society production of Cinderella.

For the first time in memory, a theatrical production had sold out for all three nights. Now, with the anticipated popularity of a sequel, The Stepsisters’ Revenge, a Saturday matinee has been added to accommodate the throngs.

Sequels haven’t been the stock in trade for Footlighters’ productions over the company’s 21-year history, but this one was a natural, writer/co-director/co-star Jason Smith said on Monday.

“At the end of every play that’s successful we always talk about sequels, but mostly in jest,” he said. “But with three full houses and having so much fun

with Cinderella we just didn’t seem to stop talking about a sequel this time.”

Smith said writing the script, following up on Frank Goodsir’s Cinderella, was an unusually quick process.

“One day I wasn’t busy and I went on to my computer. It all just came so fast, I couldn’t believe it.

“Writing is usually a slow process, but this time I had already been in the role” — as Lady Violet, one of the two ugly stepsisters — “and I knew the characters. It just spilled out of me — I couldn’t type fast enough!”

For The Stepsisters’ Revenge, Smith wanted more of an ensemble cast, with less attention on just a couple of characters. This time around, the prince, Cinderella and her stepmother have meatier rolls. And new characters are introduced.

The Stepsisters’ Revenge picks up the Cinderella story after a year has passed. For Cinderella, “the bloom is off the rose,” Smith laughed. Cinderella and her handsome Prince Charming “are like an old couple, except they have 26 kids,” orphans they adopted in Cinderella. And the prince doesn’t seem to be maturing in marriage, so the new princess isn’t getting much support from her husband.

“The stepsisters, Lady Violet and Lady Petunia, are serving time in prison, and their mommy is in hiding, just waiting for her opportunity to spring them loose,” co-director Gillian Wells said.

Prison? Yup, they were sent to the big house after being convicted of cruel and unusual treatment of their stepsister, now Her Majesty Cinderella.

“They were waterboarding her, apparently!” Smith laughed.

Wells said Cinderella’s change in circumstances hasn’t been a bed of roses.

“She has all these kids to care for, an immature husband, and she’s still fearful of her stepsisters, even if they are in jail! And even living in a fabulous castle, she worries about everything.

Being a mother is harder than she ever thought.”

While Smith and Brian Lawrence are reprising their roles as Lady Violet and Lady Petunia, and Jennifer Adams and Gail Kitt returns as, respectively, Mummy and the Fairy Godmother, new faces are seen in other roles. Anna Payne plays Cinderella and Jesse Moreton is Prince Charming. The stepsisters have Frankenstein’s Monster (Kevin Boehmer) on their side, while Cinderella has

the inept protection of a Knight (Logan Thompson), a Wizard (Gary Atha) and an Enchantress (Natascha Sundby). Other roles are covered by Gwen Benty, Morgan Benty, Suzanne Chubb, Darlene Knudsen and Peter Simon.

Familiar tunes from Broadway musicals are sprinkled throughout the show, mostly with new and humorous lyrics.

Could there be a sequel to this sequel? Smith laughed and admitted, “I have an idea for another — and it’s genius, I think!”

The Stepsisters’ Revenge runs for three nights and a Saturday matinee from March 17-19 at Prince Charles Theatre. Tickets are $12 for adults, $8 for students/seniors and $5 for children under 12, available at Black Bear Books, Creative Fix and Kingfisher Used Books.
