Four members of the Creston Judo Club are Penticton bound to compete in the BC Winter Games, which run today through Sunday.

Brae Booth, Kyle Qualtieri, Kaeden Rendek and Joseph Albert will be part of an 11-member Kootenay judo team that includes athletes from Invermere and Fernie. Male and female Winter Games participants in judo must be 14-16 years of age.

Brae Booth, 14, will fight in the U-16 under 70-kilogram female

class. Only three weeks ago she brought home a silver medal from the B.C. championships in Kamloops.

Booth has been a judo enthusiast for six years, starting out “because I needed a sport” in Prince George. She continued with the sport until her family moved to Creston and is at the Creston dojo three times a week, going to tournaments when-ever she gets the chance.

Kyle Qualtieri, 14, said on Monday evening at the dojo that he developed a passion for the sport soon after he took it up eight years ago.

“And it’s something to do after school,” he smiled.

Qualtieri heads into the Winter Games as a B.C. champion, having won gold in his U-15 under 66-kilo-gram age and weight class in Kamloops. That victory followed up a silver medal in the Saskatchewan provincial champi-onships earlier.

Kaeden Rendek, 15, is the only Creston judoka making a return to the Winter Games. In Mission two years ago, he won a gold medal in his U-16 under 46-kilogram class.

Erickson church adding second serviceBY BRIAN LAWRENCE

Advance Editor

With 300 regular attendees, aver-aging about 210, each Sunday, the Erickson Covenant Church congre-gation has been finding space rath-er tight.

But starting March 6, there will be a bit more breathing room, when the church begins offering two services, at 9:15 and 11:15 a.m., spreading out the members and allowing the recent increase to continue.

“It’s kind of like a family that kept growing and their house was never expanded,” said pastor Tom Greentree, who has been with the church for nearly five years.

“Everyone sees the need, every-one feels the need,” added Jo-Ann Ewing, the children and family ministry pastor.

Encouraged by his dad, Rendek took up the sport as a six-year-old and has had remarkable success as a member of the Creston Judo Club. Around his neck he wears gold medals from the recent B.C. and Saskatchewan championships where he competed in the U-18 55-kilogram class.

Joseph Albert, 14, has been a judo practitioner for 11 years, having been introduced to the dojo at an early age by his dad, who is an instructor, or sensei, with the club. Albert brought home a bronze medal from the

B.C. championships.The four athletes will be wearing

the yellow sweaters of the Kootenays (Zone 1) when they march in the BC Winter Games opening ceremonies this week.

It takes a village to raise a child, and a support from volun-teers and parents to keep a dojo in operation. Senior sensei Ben Reinhardt sets an example of ded-ication and enthusiasm for his students, driving up from Bonners Ferry three times a week to teach and coach.

Reinhardt, 53, who is head male coach for the Kootenay contingent in the Winter Games, got his start in judo in 1980 at the YMCA Judo Club in his hometown of Wichita Falls, Texas. His stepfather had

been a judoka and “I wanted to do martial arts,” he said.

Only brief breaks for school and work duties, and the occasional injury, have interrupted his participation in judo since he first started. He fought in competitions until four years ago, when a shoulder injury ended that part of the sport for him.

Reinhardt learned about the Creston Judo Club when he moved to Bonners Ferry — where he works as a court bailiff — in 2004.

“I’ve been coming up to Creston pretty much since 2005, three times a week,” he said. “It took lots of volunteers to help me over my career and for me, it’s a pay it back, pay it for-ward thing.

“I’m really happy for these men and women to be part of the BC Winter Games. They put in time, money, blood, sweat and tears, and so do their parents. It’s a big commitment to get to training camps and tournaments around the country.”

Rendek’s father, Terry, says his son puts in 18-20 hours a week, including practice and weight and cardio training.

The Creston Judo Club has experienced suc-cess, and one of the female members is also mak-ing her mark. Shianne Gronen, 17, also won gold at the B.C. championships in the U-21 under 78-kilogram class. The Grade 12 Prince Charles Secondary School student is too old to partici-pate in the Winter Games.

Surprisingly, Gronen only took up judo 14 months ago.

“I stopped playing volleyball and wanted to try another sport,” she said. “I knew Leelen (Samuelson, a longtime dojo member and now instructor) but didn’t know much about the sport.”

What does she like about judo?“Everything!”She smiles as she talks about physical effort

and competition, travel.“But mostly it’s the connection with the peo-

ple in the club — the senseis and coaches, every-one. And I love teaching the little guys!”

Gronen plans to include judo in her life after she graduates next year.

As club president, Terry Rendek credits the Creston Valley community for their continued support of youth activities. A gala dinner fund-raiser two weeks ago drew 180 people.

“We had $10,000 worth of items donated by business for our silent auction,” he said. “This community is a fantastic example of why we choose to live in a small town.”

Those invitations that Overwaitea Foods customers get to donate a few cents or couple of dollars to raise funds for chil-dren’s hospitals have an enor-mous impact on the families of children who need specialized medical care.

“Fifteen families from the Creston Valley had kids who were treated in children’s hospi-tals in 2014 alone,” said Overwaitea’s Ellen Tzakis.

She leads the Creston store’s promotion efforts, which include asking customers if they want to “round up” their grocery bill to the next highest dollar, or put their name on a Valentine card for a minimum $2 donation.

In 2015 the Creston store raised $8,700 through the various promotions, and the Overwaitea Food Group donated a total of nearly $3 million to children’s hospitals, including Calgary and Vancouver, where Creston Valley children go for care.

“And (owner) Jimmy Pattison matches a lot of the donations, so it really has a huge impact on those hospitals, and on our local families,” Tzakis said.

In February, Overwaitea walls are red and white with the hun-dreds of signed cards from donors. And this year Tzakis has added a special feature — printouts of some of the families’ stories.

“I think it is important that our customers get a genuine sense of how much their donations, how-ever small, mean to families who might be their friends and neigh-bours,” she said. “So I asked them to write their stories to share on our display.”

Tzakis is no stranger to the value of children’s hospitals. Her baby, who is now about to become a mother herself, had a blocked tear duct. Each morning Ellen or her husband, Ken, would have to wash her left eye so Kayla could open it. Massage and cream thera-py didn’t work, and eventually surgery at a children’s hospital was required to cure the condition.

Many of the stories involve diagnoses of life-threatening diseases, including cancer, but accidents can also lead to a child’s need for treatment at a children’s hospital.

“Our son, Cameron Holder, was involved in a serious car

accident in 1995. He was travel-ling with friends to a hockey tournament in Kimberley when the accident occurred. Cam was seven years old at the time,” his parents wrote.

“With serious injuries, Cam was air lifted to Calgary Children’s Hospital where he received excel-lent care during his two week stay. The doctors and staff were fantas-tic and they communicated with us every step of the way during his recovery. The hospital environ-ment was always positive and as Cam’s condition improved, the nurses provided entertainment and games to help with his recov-ery. When it was time to leave Children’s Hospital, he asked if he could come back one day because ‘he liked it there.’ ”

In 2010, with the diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia for two-year old Chloe Davidson, the lives of her family were turned upside down. Chloe developed severe bruising and she was soon on her way to Alberta Children’s Hospital in Calgary.

“Chloe received hemoglobin and platelets almost every day for the first week,” her parents wrote. “We settled into our new routine for the next two and a half years. The Children’s Hospital became our second home. The doctors and nurses are incredible, making Chloe feel comfortable and safe in a world that she had no control over.

“Chloe has since gone into remission and check-ups have dwindled down to once a year. Although we go back to Children’s Hospital rarely now compared to before, Chloe still looks forward to seeing Rav, her favourite nurse, and Dr. Lucie, her favourite oncologist. The

Overwaitea donors help kids’ health needscoloured hospital will always be known to us as our safe house, a building that made our family feel comfortable and hopeful.”

At the age of two, when Garrett Sorenson was diagnosed with Stage 3 high-risk neuroblas-toma (a disease in which malig-nant cancer cells form in nerve tissue), the Sorenson family was destined for long stays at the children’s hospital in Calgary. The Sorensons express their grat-itude for the knowledge, com-passionate nature and honesty they found in oncology unit.

“We felt confident in his treat-ment,” they wrote. “When we were admitted for Garrett’s course of treatment to Unit 1, we were not allowed to leave our room for the duration of the treatment; some of the medications run over 96 hours and limits activity for Garrett. The staff would bring toys and orga-nize games such as bingo so that all the children are able to partici-pate… We are grateful. At present time Garrett is ‘cancer free.’ ”

The displays go on, and tell only some of the stories of local families affected by childhood disease and injury. Unsaid is that not all stories have happy end-ings, but that treatment in chil-dren’s hospitals often gives sick kids the best chance they have to live a long and healthy life.

“We have a number of events lined up for the next few months, and we hope this display helps our valued customers understand why our store’s employees, and the entire Overwaitea Food Group, are so passionate about fund-rais-ing for children’s hospitals,” Tzakis said. “We are grateful to all those who support our cause.”

Overwaitea is also now selling tickets for the huge BC Children’s Hospital Choices Lottery, in which winners will share in more than 3,100 prizes worth over $3.8 mil-lion. The seven grand prizes include a $2.1 million cash award.

“I think it is important that our customers geta genuine sense of how much their donations, however small, meanto families who might be their friends and neighbours.”Ellen TzakisOverwaitea Foods

For the last year, this column has been attempting to explicate an essay called, “Mountains and Rivers Sutra” written in 13th century Japan by a Zen master named Eihei Dogen. In this essay, Dogen offers an expanded view

of what it means to be alive. He says, “You don’t understand that mountains are like flowing water because you are drowning in small views and narrow understanding.” He is talking about us. He is saying that when we have that sinking feeling that we are drowning it is because we are hemmed in by the limited way in which we view our lives.

He goes on, “Yet, no matter how we feel about our lives, mountains will always manifest their own life force.” In other words, even though we are stuck

in our small views and limited under-standing, the mountains are fine. Unlike us, they aren’t yelling and saying, “Hey wait a minute. That’s not right. We are flowing. What’s the matter with you? You are not giving us credit.” We humans insist that others see us the way we want them to see us. But mountains are not like that. They don’t care how others see them. They just continue to manifest their form and life force.

Of course, this is also true of us. Even as we protest and complain, we too are manifesting our life force. No matter how much we complain about our health, the cost of food or the inconsid-erate actions of others, the miracle of living goes on regardless of what we think about it. Awareness of this simple truth is the secret to how we can bear our own and our friends’ suffering. Even if we don’t understand why we suffer, we can know that life goes on no matter what, doing what it needs to do. We can rest in the certainty that life is always life, and it always goes forward without concern about how we want our own situation to be.

Dogen continues, “There is walking, there is flowing and there is a moment when a mountain gives birth to a moun-

tain child.” This is beautiful! What is he talking about? He is reminding us that even though life continues to vacillate between joy and sorrow, every now and then something happens and we have a moment of transformation, a moment, if you will, of enlightenment. Diligent effort in Zen practice will transform our lives, so that every now and then we will have a moment when we experience total awak-ening. Even though transformation is constant when we practice, even though life itself is change, sometimes a surpris-ing birth occurs and “a mountain gives birth to a mountain child.”

Suggested practice: On those days when you feel overwhelmed by life’s difficulties, let go of worrying about your problems and remember that when we are immersed in our own suffering, we have taken a narrow view with lim-ited understanding. Our lives are bigger than our problems.

Kuya Minogue is the resident teacher at Sakura-ji, Creston’s zendo. This column is part of a long essay on an essay by 13th century Zen master Eihei Dogen and is inspired by the teaching of Norman Fischer.

I am sitting in the comfort of my sun-room having a coffee. It is 10:10 a.m. I have four articles half written placed in front of me. I am just back from the green-house’s potting table room and this morn-ing’s work, filling seedling trays. Which article to finish... before the deadline.

I enjoy digging my hands into the seedling mix. It’s nice and light. There’s no “dirt” in it. It is clean and sterile. Once the trays are filled, I lightly water them in for later use. The tops of the trays should be dry before seeding. I had the new radio

station playing in the background and outside the birds were beginning to chirp. While the colours are drab and the fog rolls around the hillsides in the mornings this time of year, it is still a pretty wonder-ful place to live!

Earlier in the week, I had cleaned all the leftover plant debris from my half-acre asparagus patch. Besides getting out in the sun for some fresh air and exercise, this removes any overwinter-ing pests and disease from the garden area. Just as I bleach the floors and tables in the greenhouses, some farmers even spray bleach through their orchards in the off-season. In the old days of greenhouse production, a 10 per cent bleach dip was given to geranium cuttings before they were placed in trays to grow roots.

Actually, in any modern production greenhouse or wholesale nursery you are required to disinfect your feet before entry to the facility. When you drive

into a Clean Plants certified nursery you will be required to stop at the office and sign in. The wheels on your truck will be sprayed with disinfectant too, and they will want to know what other farms you have been to recently. This kind of certification helps these compa-nies to sell and even export their nurs-ery stock with confidence they aren’t spreading around any soil-borne dis-eases. It is part of your guarantee that they take their business very seriously and offer a quality product.

While it would be impossible to do this in a retail nursery with all the cus-tomers coming and going, if you want to grow and sell wholesale this is the way to go — fencing, signage, closed circuit TV and disinfectant. I digress, but the point is to start your greenhouse or gar-den off on the right foot for fewer nasty surprises later. Hopefully none at all!

To the Editor:Each morning when I drive to Rick’s

Iron Kettle, I thank the Lord for the mountains, the snow, the sky and the clouds, the trees, the flats, the water and the beauty of it all. I thank the Lord for the good people of Creston. I am finding there are many.

Like the day that I went to the hospital lab and realized I wasn’t supposed to

take my pills before the blood test. They didn’t give me heck. They said, “Come in tomorrow early and we will take you first and get your tests down so your doctor gets the results on time.” I did, and they did and it worked out fine. Isn’t that nice?

A few days later, I went to Town Hall for a dog tag. I was a little winded after going up all those steps and I leaned against the counter. The girls quickly got two firemen to check out my vital signs, and the clerks were also very concerned. They even offered to walk me back down the steps. Isn’t that nice?

From there, I went to Extra Foods, still a little shaky. I leaned against a post there and a cashier named Jen quickly came over, sat me down on a chair, did my shopping for me and called my grand-daughter to pick me up. Isn’t that nice?

A week later, at 3:30 a.m., I called 911 and five attendants quickly came with the ambulance, professionally checked me over, put me on a stretcher and took me to the emergency room, where a doc-tor and nurses were waiting. They quick-ly started to treat me. I told them my big concern was my pup I had left home alone, so one of the nurses made some calls and connected with my son, who went and picked up my dog. They were all very considerate. While in the hospi-tal, all of the nurses and doctors were especially good and thorough, and I appreciated all the good treatment.

I am lucky to have great neighbours, a great church family and relatives that help me all the time. God bless you all!

Nursery Notes

Lives are bigger than problems

Cleaning part of nursery business

OPINION LINE

“We like the zoo because we’re animals, too.” That catchy little ditty was playing on CBC Radio as I drove home for lunch the other day, and I thought it was a strange coincidence because at the same time I was composing — in my head, as always — this week’s column.

My theme was easy — not my monkeys, not my zoo. It is the phrase I use to calm myself with each time I read about the lunacy that passes for the U.S. presidential race. Say what you like about Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, neither of whom are like-ly to restore the U.S. to a country that once used ideals to frame its constitution, big idea ideals that sound as good today as they must have when they were written. But when Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio — two pandering, anti-everything-that-is-decent creeps if there ever were any — are running second and third in the primary race, hav-ing defeated yet another Bush (who was almost starting to look like a plausible option for a few days) and looking like the only options to Sideshow Don, it gets downright scary to think that we live within a few minutes of a bor-der that could soon be secured with the Trump Wall.

Those who thought Donald Trump’s entry into the presidential race was a bit of a lark and yet another way to draw attention to himself and his burgeoning reality show image can be forgiven. Not so many months ago it would have been unthinkable that such a char-acter could, or would, take even his own candidacy seriously. After

all, a guy who has never run for, let alone won, a public office, who declares bankruptcy with impuni-ty, who stomps on little people for the fun of it all, shouldn’t take himself seriously. Should he? Well,

I suppose he’s entitled, but what of the large number (though admit-tedly far from a majority) of citi-zens who have jumped on his bandwagon?

How is it that they cannot see this carnival barker, this shill for his own interests, this man who is void of policies and ideas, poses more of a danger than any candi-date in recent history? It’s easy enough to see why a large number of citizens are frustrated, even angry, with the status quo. Self-serving to the point of corruption, elected candidates in both parties have been an affront to democracy. But they were, as Trump would be, elected by the very people who are angry. No voter gets a free pass on this decline in political morals and ethics.

But to turn to a multibillionaire, who inherited a fortune and yet proclaims himself to be a self-made man, is nothing short of obscene. To elect him would be the equivalent of putting Robert Picton in charge of the prison farm

(does anyone seriously believe that he wrote that book?) or letting Clifford Olsen run the prison staff day care centre. I mean, seriously, what in Donald Trump’s past would indicate that he has com-passion for the very people who are now supporting him, or the complex skill set a president should have?

More to the point, does anyone actually trust him to a position of power that includes the ability to activate a nuclear bomb with the push of a button? With an ego equal to, and an intellect far beneath, that of Vladimir Putin, it doesn’t take much of an imagination to think that Trump could attempt to outsmart the former KGB man, to out-bully the bully.

I can’t imagine that American voters will ultimately elect a self-declared socialist to the presidency, and I think that the only positive thing about Hillary Clinton is that she would be the first female presi-dent. The appearance that she seems closely allied to Wall Street and big banks, which have not changed significantly since their shenanigans nearly brought the world economy to its knees, means more of the same old, same old. The Democrats have for decades operated under the assumption that not being the Republicans is good enough. And not being a Republican might be enough to defeat The Donald, but it won’t be sufficient to ease the fear and dis-trust of those who support him.

Not my monkeys. Not my mon-keys. Not my monkeys. Om…

On Feb. 2, two new women were elected to the B.C. legislature in Victoria. Jodie Wickens won the byelection in Coquitlam-Burke Mountain and Melanie Mark won in Vancouver-Mount Pleasant, mak-ing her the first First Nations woman elected as a B.C. MLA. Both women are with the NDP and I am so very looking forward to working with them.

While both ridings are in the Greater Vancouver region, they are quite different. Vancouver-Mount Pleasant is home to the Downtown Eastside, Canada’s poorest neigh-bourhood. It also has a high popu-lation density and very urban envi-ronment. Coquitlam-Burke Mountain is suburban with most people commuting to work and activities by car and a household income on par with the B.C. aver-age. Yet, this election both commu-nities were talking about the same thing to candidates on the door-step: the cost of living.

Wages have stagnated or are down, while food, housing and clothing are all up. Making ends meet feels harder than ever. That’s what Jodie and Melanie heard from voters. It’s what I hear in the Kootenays too — not just on the doorsteps either. Seventy-five per cent of Kootenay respondents to the Chartered Professional Accounts’ Business Outlook Survey said that lack of affordable housing makes it

harder to do business and retain skilled employees. Whether through surveys, statistics or on the doorstep, it’s clear that the high cost of living in B.C. is a major issue everywhere.

So what’s going on and what can we do to make life more affordable? Well, Christy Clark isn’t interested in studying the issue, or is she? One day she’ll say there is no need to look into the housing cost crisis, another day she says government is looking into it. This kind of wishy-washy attitude is not what British Columbians deserve. We deserve concrete action based on solid information.

But that’s not what Christy Clark’s government is doing.

While they increase your MSP, ICBC and electricity rates, they are also footing millions in legal bills for BC Liberal insiders and staff who have done something wrong.

Space doesn’t allow me to go into all the details of all the scan-dals that have followed Christy and her friends in recent years, but I

invite you to read up if you haven’t already. I’ve let her know that she has to stop increasing costs to you so that she can pay her friends’ legal bills, but she doesn’t come to work in the legislature very often and when she does she typically says one thing and does another. Meanwhile, you have to pay those increased MSP premiums and read about rundown bungalow homes selling for $2.4 million.

Unlike Ms. Clark, John Horgan and my NDP colleagues are seeking solutions to the affordability crisis. For example, we hear your con-cerns and are talking to experts like UBC’s Sauder School of Business’s Thomas Davidoff. He is proposing a way to address the housing cost crisis. Through taxation tools that apply to foreign housing specula-tion and unoccupied homes, we can build a fund that invests in more affordable housing. It’s a simple and doable solution that the NDP is supporting.

When talking to voters in the recent byelections, Melanie and Jodie showed that they listened, they cared and were ready to solve the big chal-lenges their constituents faced. Voters responded by sending them to Victoria. I can’t wait to work with them on building a better B.C.

bating and hatching events, I was up my observa-tion tree a number of times to observe the prog-ress. Of course, the poplar trees were leafless until about the time the chicks hatched. The nest wasn’t very concealed to anyone looking up and neither was I. One time a little later, when up the tree, I heard voices of children somewhere along the fence line, dividing the acreages. I was hoping they would diverge off somewhere else, but they didn’t. In several minutes three early grade-school girls came ambling along the barbwire fence. Again, I was hoping they wouldn’t see me up the tree. I wasn’t sure if I should let them know about my presence so when they did see me they wouldn’t be frightened. But, then, I thought my calling might scare them and I didn’t want that to happen. So I just kept still and quiet.

They didn’t spot me but they did spot one of the adult owls. Then things changed. One said, “Oh, look.” Another said, “That’s an owl.” And, after some intense looking at the owl perched nearby, another said, “Let’s go.” Quietly they turned and left. I was relieved when they left but at the same time felt bad because they seemed to have this unrealistic fear of owls that barred them from becoming further acquainted with this basically harmless owl.

Owl nests, like those of pygmy and saw-whet, are usually in tree cavities thus are a bit more protected than are nests of great horned owl. Ravens often harass daytime-roosting owls in deciduous trees, especially before they are leafed out. Great horned owls also nest in conif-erous trees, staying quite concealed, in the day-time, in the upper branches of tall Douglas fir trees in residential areas. The only way a few people learn that they have owls for neighbors is if, when out at night, they happen to hear them hooting.

Great horned owls, residing in residential areas and relying totally on town prey would have to be pretty opportunistic when it comes to food. Who knows what they might catch! I am sure they venture from those protective groves of Douglas fir trees over to nearby parks, hedge-rows and fields. There they might find their more natural, mouse menu. I have seen them prey on young varying hare. Larger adults can lift an adult hare off the ground but if the prey is too heavy for them, they may apt to eat it on the spot, if they are not endangered. It’s rare that a great horned owl will take on a cat but in some regions they are known as “cat owls” or “winged tiger”. It would take a lot for a smaller adult owl to get it off the ground. Even one owl I saw, with a small hare, seemed to struggle to get airborne. A pygmy owl I once watched, dropped its mouse, picked it up again, flew to a shed roof and then up to a wire where it ate its catch.

If there aren’t baby owls in the nest by now, there soon will be within weeks. At 10 weeks, babies may be quite vocal, giving a single, usu-ally unidentified, shriek. In their language that says, “Food!” Great horned owls are quite ubiq-uitous. You may have a nest in your neighbor-hood. They most often reveal their presence by the characteristic hoot. The pygmy owl says, “I am here,” by single-noted flutelike calls. Now you can find some owls!

Here is something for further thought. “The wise old owl lived in an oak. The more he saw the less he spoke. The less he spoke, the more he heard. Why can’t we all be like that wise old bird?”

From 30 feet up in a poplar tree and standing with both feet firmly lodged next to the trunk on two limbs, I was about eye level with a great horned owl’s nest, just a few

feet away in another tree. It was March and I could plainly see one egg in the nest as the adult owl had left the nest, landing in another pop-lar tree very close by. When I had about reached the level of the nest, the parent owl, with clacking beak, stared at me defensively. Even with a hardhat protecting my head, I was still ready to protect my face should it fly at me. The owl had a perfect right to be defensive because I was an intruder in its territory, and, not only that, I was right on its doorstep.

When “perched” in the tree, I gen-erally had only one hand free to work

the camera unless I wrapped one leg around the tree. Since I was barely eye-level with the top of the nest, with my old styled camera, it was dif-ficult to get what I wanted. Now,

with digital cameras, one can get better pictures in awkward positions. A few feet can be gained by holding the camera, with one hand, above the head, pointing it where one thinks it should be. A dozen pictures can be shot from different positions and one is sure to get at least one good photo, all with one hand.

Great horned owls, like other owls, such as pygmy and

saw-whet owls, both indigenous in the Kootenays, nest much earlier than other birds, excepting gray jays and horned larks. Horned owls often nest in March, but have, in some areas, been known to begin in January. Owls, as most of you know are primarily active at night so the increased length of day doesn’t directly determine breeding season, as in songbirds. However, the hatching somewhat corresponds to when small rodents and other prey become active, thus, in that respect, assuring adequate food.

Throughout the egg laying, incu-

With the first round of Kootenay International Junior Hockey League playoffs in sight, the Creston Valley Thunder Cats added two wins and a loss to their 2015-16 record in last week’s games.

They followed a 4-0 defeat of the Nelson Leafs with a 5-3 win and 6-3 loss to the Columbia Valley Rockies, who, at third in the Eddie Mountain Division 10 points behind Creston’s 70, would be the Thunder Cats’ rival in the first round, which started Tuesday (after press time).

“Nelson was a little beat up, and not playing with a full lineup,” said Creston head coach Jeff Dubois.

Creston’s Logan Styler and James Severs each scored a power-play goal in the first period, with Carson Cartwright adding two more late in the second period.

Dubois said Nelson goalie Josh Williams made some big saves to keep Creston’s chances down, and Creston goalie Brock Lefebvre also did his part, stopping all of the Leafs’ 15 shots.

“He didn’t have a high vol-ume of shots, but did stop a cou-ple breakaways,” said Dubois.

On Friday, the Thunder Cats visited Invermere for the first of back-to-back games with the Columbia Valley Rockies. The game got off to a slow start, with Styler scoring for Creston in the first period, and two Rockies goals in the second.

“It was a situation where we’d already clinched second place in our division and Columbia Valley was still push-ing for third place,” said Dubois.

Cartwright, Tyler Severson and Maverick Lynes each scored in the third period before the third Rockies’ goal, followed, with 40 seconds remaining, by a goal by Thomas Cankovic for a 5-3 win.

Saturday’s final game of the season, held in Creston, had a similar score, 6-3, this time a win for the Rockies.

“We didn’t come ready to play,” said Dubois. “Columbia Valley came out hard, and before you knew it, it was five-nothing at the end of the first period.”

Creston fought back, and halfway through the second period, Cartwright scored on a power play, with a Rockies goal following eight minutes later. Severs and Styler each added a goal in the third period.

“I was happy with how the guys bounced back from that,”

said Dubois. “It definitely was a lesson in preparedness.”

That readiness should carry right into the playoffs, which began with Tuesday and Wednesday games in Creston, with the Thunder Cats heading to Invermere Friday and Saturday. (If needed, the teams will play Monday in Creston, Tuesday in Invermere and Wednesday in Creston, before the best-of-seven victor takes on either the division’s first-place Kimberley Dynamiters or fourth-place Fernie Ghostriders.)

“Having just seen Columbia Valley twice this weekend, we know what we’re getting,” said Dubois. “We’re getting a hard working team that’s really aggressive and fast. …

“I certainly hope from our end that there’s a high respect level for them. There certainly haven’t been any easy games from our end.”

Among his goals are to keep doing what the Thunder Cats are already doing.

“We’re most comfortable playing our game, and not worrying too much about what the other team is doing,” said Dubois. “We’ve come to pride ourselves on playing a pretty speedy puck-possessive game, and that’s brought us success, so I think we’ll stick with it.”

SUBMITTED

The Prince Charles Secondary School Bulldogs continued their dominant run in the 2015-16 senior boys’ bas-ketball season with a home tournament victory Feb. 6.

The Bulldogs swept both their games in the three-team, round-robin affair to finish first and run their season record to 10-1, with three titles in four tournaments.

Jacob Dumas netted 18 points in PCSS’s 61-44 victory over the Selkirk Storm of Kimberley, which ended the contest on an 11-0 run to make the score closer than indicated

by the action.Creston closed out the first

half with a 13-0 run of its own to lead 38-15 at the break, and took a 55-28 advantage into the final quarter.

The Storm is one of two Kootenay rivals PCSS will have to get past in zone playoffs to qualify for the British Columbia AA championships.

In the other game, PCSS out-scored the Mt. Sentinel Wildcats of South Slocan 69-32, paced by the 22 points of Leo Evans plus 13 from Dumas, 10 from Jamond Dortman and eight from Marcus Bell.

The Bulldogs followed up that performance with a perfect

weekend in Fernie on Feb. 12 and 13, when they won their fourth trophy and improved to 14-1 on the season.

They posted lopsided open-ing-day victories over Crowsnest Pass and Mt. Sentinel, then fol-lowed that up the next day with narrow victories over Sparwood (in the semifinals) and the host Fernie Falcons in the champion-ship match.

PCSS is hosting the 2016 Kootenay zone senior boys’ play-offs Feb. 26 and 27. The Bulldogs will be seeking a berth in the AA provincials in Langley in the regional finals against Selkirk and Golden, a team they will not have seen before the playoffs.

Although we are often consumed with goals to be healthier, save money and budget better, paying down debt also remains top priority for many Canadians. For the sixth straight year, a Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce survey revealed that 26 per cent of us named debt reduction as our top financial goal for 2016. Coupled with predictions from the parliamentary budget officer that the debt-to-income ratio will hit its highest level since 1990, more so than ever, we need financial tools such as prepaid cards to help manage our finances.

With the growing popularity of open loop pre-paid cards, many consumers are using these rela-

tively new financial tools to alleviate their financial conundrums. The cards look and function like tradi-tional credit and debit cards at the point of sale and provide the same fraud and loss protections offered by the card network with a significant difference — they access funds that have been pre-loaded by the con-sumer, government or business.

Those of us looking to budget better and pay down debt this year should know the benefits of pre-paid solutions, including:

•Set spending limits. Prepaid cards are excellent tools to manage family budgets because only pre-loaded amounts of funds are avail-able for use, unlike credit cards that can lead to significant debt accrual.

•Access online services and apps. Highly attractive to the 88 per cent of millennials who want to avoid visiting a bank branch, pre-paid cards give consumers the tools to manage their finances online or via a mobile app.

•Avoid fees and charges. Open loop prepaid cards eliminate the risk of overdraft, NSF fees and interest charges. The majority of Canadians (82 per cent) want a payment card that does not charge those fees.

While Canada shapes up to have more debt than ever this year, the

proliferation of open loop prepaid cards offers us the convenience, stability and flexibility we need to meet financial obligations and pay down debt. More tips and informa-tion are available at www.cppo.ca.

Meeting your financial goals

Travel continues to be a top retire-ment priority, second only to main-taining health and fitness, according to a recent RBC survey. In fact, nearly half of working Canadians aged 50-plus (aged 50-75; $100,000-$999,999 in investable household assets) expect to travel more fre-quently or for longer periods than before. Where do you want to travel when you retire? Will you go it alone or as part of a guided tour? Will you travel in luxury or live out of a back-pack? If you're part of a couple, does your partner share your travel dreams? See how travel can fit into your retirement plan by visiting www.retirementdesigners.ca.

Travel a top priority

CRESTON CONCERT SOCIETY

The Creston Concert Society’s next presentation is sure to be fun for the family! On Sunday, Rainbow Dance Theatre’s iLumi-Dance comes to dazzle the audi-ence at the Prince Charles Theatre for a matinee presentation.

Founded in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1991, Rainbow Dance Theatre (RDT) has been based in Monmouth, Ore., since 2000. Its name highlights its roots in Hawaii, the “land of rainbows”, as well as the ethnic diversity of its company members and the multi-ple cultural influences in the cho-reography performed by the com-pany, which has toured through-out the world, performing in Europe, Asia, the United States, Canada and Mexico to widespread critical and popular acclaim.

RDT’s ensemble of eight virtuo-

so dancers transforms the concert stage into a world of mystery, pathos and humor. Delighting audiences of all ages with its ath-letic “pull out-the-stops celebra-tion of … dancing that pays hom-age to world dance and music influences.” (Sheryl Dare, Honolulu Advertiser) RDT’s repertoire fea-tures modern works with roots in the traditions of many world cul-tures, celebrating this array as well with its virtuosic style that fuses West African and Haitian dance, hip hop and martial arts with American modern dance.

Combined with innovative aer-ial choreography, visually stun-ning interactive sets and the latest innovations in fibre optic and elec-troluminescent technology, the distinctive choreography of artistic directors Darryl Thomas and Valerie Bergman creates “an exotic feast for the senses.” (Isamu Jordan, Spokesman Review) This

Concert society presenting Rainbow Dance Theatre

high-impact, rapid-fire perfor-mance style features a rugged ath-leticism and gravity-defying part-nering. 3D backdrops, inter-active full-stage sets and lavish costum-ing add a unique visual element

that transforms the dance perfor-mance into an entertaining and provocative theatrical event.

ILumiDance opens on a dark-ened stage with only a black light instrument illuminating the

puppets and dancers so that viewers are immersed in an undersea world where creatures appear to float, swim and dance through the dark water. As the dance progresses, mysterious land animals appear, created through RDT’s signature part-nering between two and some-times three dancers who togeth-er form one fantastic creature.

Act Two utilizes proprietary technology designed exclusively for RDT by electrical engineer Ben Peoples: A computer on the side of the stage synchronized to a music score “talks” to the light-wired costumes, sets, puppets and props so that the electroluminescent wire, along with the dancers, “dances” to the music score.

Advance tickets for the 2 p.m. Feb. 28 show are $22 for adults and $10 for students, available at Black Bear Books, Kingfisher Books and Creative Fix, or $25 and $12 at the door.

Grooming Boarding

Hello, my name is Pinky and I am a spunky, friendly, Cockapoo girl that loves to cuddle and go for car rides. I think that walks are just the best and I am really good on a leash. I like cats and dogs and am very well socialized with them; in fact, I would really like a doggie roommate to play with. The foster home I'm in right now is fi ne, but all the dogs there are older and don't play much. Yes, I am deaf, but I'm well behaved and respond to hand signals. Unfortunately, I am losing my sight to cataracts so life will change, but I still have lots of zest for life and would love to fi nd a foster or adoptive home with a playmate. The icing on my cake is that I don't shed, so I am very neat.

DorotheaUrsula Wiens(nee Powell)

It is with immense sadness that we announce the death of our dearly beloved and cherished mother. Our world will never be the same without her beautiful presence. Born in Cranbrook BC to beloved parents Henry and Dorothea Powell on February 9th 1927, Mum died peacefully at home on January 26th 2016 with both her daughters by her side.She is, and will be forever, profoundly missed by her daughters Heather and Shelley, sons-in-law Mike and Peter and grandchildren Katharine, Emily, Joshua and Emma. Also left to grieve, and to celebrate her life, are her brother Dacre, brother-in-law Harry, cousin Elinor, sister-in-law Lois, loving nieces and their families, extended family and many dear and loyal friends. Dorothea was predeceased by her husband Ed in 2004 and her brother Bill in 2015. After growing up in Creston and graduating high school there, Dorothea attended UBC, completing a Bachelor of Social Work degree. Following graduation she took a position as Recreational Director for the visually impaired at CNIB in Toronto, a job she loved and kept for three years. She hated to leave that job, but being an adventurous and courageous young woman and quite ahead of her time, Dorothea decided to hitchhike around Europe with her good friend Kay and joined, in part, by another good friend Connie. This adventure, at times risky, kindled in Mum a passion for travel and seeing the world, something that remained with her all her life.After returning to Canada Mum signed on with the Red Cross for a one year tour in fi rst Japan and then Korea, where it was

her job to help raise the morale of the troops and even to provide marital counseling – another job she loved.While in Korea Mum met the love of her life, our father Ed, and upon returning to Canada they were married on March 29th 1956. Their honeymoon was an across Canada trip ending up in Victoria BC where Dorothea introduced her new husband (fait accompli) to her parents who (luckily) loved him immediately. Ed’s career as a Major in the Armed Forces took them to France, Ottawa, England and Belleville, the latter two being Mum’s favourites. In Belleville Mum made lifelong very dear friends, most notably Barb and Jan, and worked in Adoption, a fi eld she loved. Upon Ed’s retirement from the military the family moved to Victoria, making it their permanent home. Mum continued working part time in Social Work, ending up in the Daycare fi eld which she enjoyed until her retirement. Mum loved to play tennis and bridge, loved dancing, singing, socializing and travel. In the course of her life she visited Australia, New Zealand, England, Ireland, Scotland, Fiji, Mexico, Hawaii, China, Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium and of course Yuma which for many years was their home away from home. Mum used to say “I’ve had such an interesting life” and indeed she did.But most important to Mum were the people in her life – the many dear friends she made along the way, and particularly her family; her husband, daughters, parents and siblings, grandchildren and nieces and nephews. For her friends and family she would do anything, and they for her.

Dorothea was described by those who knew her as always gracious and loving, loyal and trustworthy, kind and thoughtful, courageous and generous, honest, intelligent and well – informed. She and Dad had a wonderful way of making people feel welcome in their home and friends of both girls called her “Mum” at one time or another. Mum loved Labrador dogs, chocolate and caramels, wine and fl owers, beauty and nature, Shakespeare and Somerset Maugham. She was a good sport, a good listener, a loving mother, wife, sister and friend. She never complained, even when things were very diffi cult, and was fi ercely independent to the end. She loved her life and life loved her back in the form of lifelong friendships, meaningful and rewarding work and daughters who were and remain absolutely devoted to her. She left this life as she wished to, in her own home, surrounded by love.Our heartfelt thanks to all Mum’s friends who so enriched her life right to the end. Thank you to the Community Nurse, the Hospice Palliative Response Team and particularly Nurse Jill. And fi nally a special thank you to Dr. Philip Huggett for his deeply compassionate and committed care of Mum.

A Memorial Service will beheld at St. Luke’s Church,

3821 Cedar Hill Cross Road onSunday, February 28th 2016 at 2 pm

CRESTON FESTIVALOF THE ARTS

The Creston community is invit-ed to enjoy the upcoming Creston Festival of the Arts, starting at Feb. 26 and ending with the grand Festival Showcase concert on March 5. For the most part the festival is free for spectators, but donations are gratefully accepted.

First, about the festival: The Creston Valley Music Teachers’ Association has a festival committee. The mission statement of the festival committee is “to encourage and pro-mote musical education and advance public understanding and apprecia-tion of the performing arts as a benefi-cial aspect of community life.” The committee members, who are all vol-unteers, do this by holding an annual approximately weeklong festival, where registered participants are adjudicated by top quality adjudica-tors (brought in from across Canada) in designated levels of classes. Top performers, chosen by the adjudica-tors, then perform at a final showcase concert at the end of the festival. Some of these chosen performers have the opportunity to proceed to the provin-cial level of tiered festivals.

How does the Creston Festival of the Arts work? To start with, funds

need to be raised to pay for the fes-tival, with about 60 per cent of the raised funds going toward the cost of the adjudicators. For instance, this year’s piano adjudicator is Susan De Burgh, the artistic director of the piano academy at Victoria’s Conservatory of Music.

There is purposely a minimal reg-istration fee for participants to ensure a large reach. Registration fees do not nearly cover the costs of the festival. Most of the funds come through the Columbia Basin Trust’s Community Initiatives Program, from Regional District of Central Kootenay Areas B, C and the Town of Creston. Area A has also granted funds for past festi-vals. For all the years of the Creston Festival of the Arts, the committee and participants would like to sin-cerely thank Areas A, B, C, and the Town of Creston for helping the com-munity grow in the performing arts. Many have benefitted from these festivals, and many past registrants have gone on to further their careers in the performing arts.

Besides funding, the festival’s syl-labi have to be published online, adjudicators have to be procured — and all the arrangements made for their stay in Creston — venues have to be booked, registrants have to be organized into classes, award monies

have to be collected for present-ing to top performers, registra-tions with the BC provincial fes-tival and national festival have to be done, and also the adjudicat-ed classes and the showcase con-cert have to happen. This all takes an army of volunteers besides the 10 or so that are on the festival committee — drivers to pick up adjudicators from the airport, adjudicators’ assistants for each of the classes, front of house people and more.

This year’s FA has three dis-ciplines: strings, piano, and speech arts and drama.

Piano and strings recitals will be held at the Creston Baptist Church, with piano ensembles and speech arts and drama at Prince Charles Theatre.

Strings starts at 1 p.m. Feb. 26 and proceeds through the evening of Feb. 27. There is a strings workshop, open to the public, at 10:15 a.m. Feb. 27.

Piano starts at 9:45 a.m. Feb. 29 and proceeds through the afternoon of March 1. There will be a piano work-shop at 10:30 a.m. March 2. The piano workshop is free to

all festival registrants, with a $10 drop-in fee for teachers and others who wish to audit this lecture.

The community can also benefit from the speech arts and drama classes, which are occurring from March 1-4.

The Festival Showcase con-cert is 2:30 p.m. March 6 at Prince Charles Theatre. There is no admission charge, but dona-tions would be most welcome.

About 24 per cent of Canadians cited no religious affiliation in the 2011 National Household Survey — a significant increase over the 16.5 per cent reported in the 2001 census — so the Erickson church is buck-ing the country’s secular trend.

“It’s been steady, with a lot of young families, a lot of people returning to church after many of church not being part of their lives,” said Greentree. “We want to be the kind of church where when they do that, they’re surprised to find a warm, welcoming community to get engaged in.”

Adding a second service will make that possible — come March 6, newcomers won’t have trouble finding a seat.

“We don’t want to hang out a ‘no vacancy’ sign,” Greentree said. “The pri-mary reason is to make room for people interested in finding out what their next step is.”

The church has been serving the com-munity for over 75 years. Originally locat-ed at the east end of Erickson Road, it moved to its current home at 6017 Canyon-Lister Road in 1979.

Throughout the decades, family has been an important focus, and that held true for Ewing and Greentree, who found the church through their respec-tive in-laws.

“It was just a natural fit to attend with the family,” Ewing said.

Adding the second service requires a greater investment of time from volun-teers, about 30 of which are required for each session, including the adult service and children’s classes. Not all roles are

doubled, though, as in the case of the church’s live band.

“The music actually is a pretty attrac-tive part,” Greentree said. “People will go to a coffee shop or bar for live music, and that’s great, but they’re not expecting high-quality live music here.”

Members are always ready to give back to the community at large, whether through its annual family fun day or the fruit pickers’ lunch each summer.

“We’re pretty unapologetic about the fact that we want to help people find and follow Jesus,” said Greentree. “But we’re not hung up on the nitty-gritty pieces. …

“There aren’t a bunch of strings attached as to whether we will care. Because that’s not Jesus. That’s not his heart.”
