Nearly a dozen trailblazers appeared before the March 15 com-mittee of the whole meeting to pro-mote the construction of a new walking path in Creston.

Spokesperson Mary Jayne Blackmore asked Creston town council for support in an applica-tion for Columbia Basin Trust fund-ing. The proposed walkway would connect 16th Avenue North, just north of Scott Street, to Devon Street.

“We have walked the route with a (town) staff member,” Blackmore said, adding that more staff support would be needed to determine property boundaries.

A public consultation meeting with area residents would be included in the process, she said.

While CBT funding would be sought, the town would not be off the financial hook. The Trails for Creston Valley Society asks that the town pro-vide gravel, and assume responsibili-ty for post-construction maintenance.

The proposed 6.8-foot-wide path, estimated to be about 500 meters long, would not be entirely new to local walkers. An informal network of paths in the area is beaten down by pedestrians who find their own connections between 16th Avenue North and the west side of town.

The issue was referred to staff for a report.

committee Briefs•A letter of support was recom-

mended for council consideration to remove a parcel of land from the Agricultural Land Reserve for the construction of a new discovery centre adjacent to the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area.

•Town manager Lou Varela rec-ommended that the town continue to not participate in the Regional District of Central Kootenay Sustainability Service No. 7. In November 2013, the Town of Creston gave notice of its intent to withdraw. Varela said the two-year withdrawal process came into effect on Dec. 31, 2015, and that there was still no evidence that Creston would benefit from the program.

“We can always opt back in at any time,” she said. “It’s much eas-ier to opt in than it is to opt out.”

•Finance director Steffan Klassen walked council members through updates of the 2016 budget and out-lined the timeline that must be fol-lowed in order to meet provincial requirements and get property tax bills out on schedule.

•A letter of support will be pro-vided for the Creston Valley Thunder Cats proposal to host the 2017 Junior B provincial champion-ships, in which four teams, includ-ing the host club, vie for the Cyclone Taylor Cup.

“This is a four-day event and it brings an estimated 500 people in to the host town,” said Creston Fire Rescue Chief Mike Moore, who is also president of the Thunder Cats.

When asked how realistic Creston’s chances are to be award-ed the event, Moore said he thinks they are good.

“Creston has never hosted the championships — we think we have a good chance.”

•At the request of the Creston Valley Rotary Club, the Town of Creston will apply for a Creston-Kootenay Foundation grant toward construction of a 900-square-foot pavilion and a 664-square-foot washroom/changing room facility in Centennial Park.

The foundation requires that applicants have a charitable tax donation number, which the Creston Valley Rotary Club does not have.

“Some sad news about the

Creston Demo Derby,” organizer Paul Whitford posted on Facebook. “I regret to announce there is no

demo this year. … Please tell anyone who was thinking of coming to watch or participate so they know ahead of time.”

The property where

the derby has tradi-tionally been held is being subdivided and sold.

“On a brighter note,” he added, “Fernie still has their

derby the weekend after Labour Day, plus Grand Forks is getting a show together for June 25, and they have adapted Creston’s rules for car/truck building.”

Opera fans should note that the

next DVD showing will be 7 p.m. March 26 in the Creston

Valley Public Library’s meeting room. This is Easter weekend, but it was decided that it would be wiser to stick with the customary time

frame of the last Saturday of the month. Details weren’t available, but a pleasant sur-prise is in the plan-ning!

A new FortisBC initiative is designed to help businesses improve energy efficiency and reduce costs, with rebates offered to upgrade fixtures to LED, which are now more afford-able and efficient, and have a quicker return on investment.

“We know operating costs are really impor-tant for small and medium sized businesses,” said FortisBC corporate communications advisor Nicole Bogdanovic.

The program, which started this month, is “innovative and community based”, she said, utilizing Fortis-approved local contractors who receive training, support and assessment tools.

“They’re really very important in transform-ing the marketplace toward energy efficiency,” said Bogdanovic. “This program is really designed to make it their business to help cus-tomers save energy.”

And it makes the process easier, too, with the contractors being the ones to fill out rebate forms.

“When I’m liaising with Fortis, we’re speak-ing the same language, as opposed to somebody who doesn’t know electricity,” said Wynndel Electric owner Aaron Lucke.

The process begins with the contractor tour-ing a commercial location to conduct an energy audit and determine the business’s needs.

At Kokanee Ford, for example, fluorescent tubes have been replaced with LED tubes in most areas. Each $22 tube has a $6 rebate, and they last 35,000 hours — as opposed to 20,000 with fluorescent tubes — paying for themselves in about a year.

“As long as the bulb is compatible, it’s plug and play,” said Lucke.

In Ford’s service bay, where lighting is impor-tant to see small detail, the old metal halide lights have been replaced with LEDs fixtures ($390 minus a $90 rebate) that require signifi-cantly less maintenance and last 100,000 hours.

Energy-efficient upgrades extend beyond lighting, and include cooking appliances, air conditioners, heat pumps, refrigeration and compressors.

“I think people are surprised there are a lot of products out there to suit their needs,” he said. “It’s really nice to know they can make a positive effect on the environment with an effort to grow greener.”

For Lucke, who has been an electrician for 15 years and ticketed for 10, becoming approved through Fortis has added a new dimension to his work.

“It’s been a great experience to learn all the ins and outs of working with LED lighting,” he said.

Residential customers can also receive rebates on a variety of energy-saving upgrades, which can be found at www.fortisbc.com/Rebates. It’s best for customers to find a con-tractor who is insured (bonded and liability), licensed through the BC Safety Authority and can offer references.

It’s also important to find one who can help determine the right lighting for a specific

Fortis helping businesses with energy efficiency

space, just like the assessment provided for commercial spaces.

“The light in a kitchen is going to be different than the light in your bedroom or living room,” he said. “That same process can be applied to a shop or showroom or commercial bakery.”

While it can seem that way, history is not documented by writers who have a magical view from far above. It is, instead, a result of the meticulous collec-tion of details that are often relat-ed by people who were closely involved in the action.

Window to Freedom: A Journey of Survival, is a marvelous example of just such a source. In his recently released mem-oir, former Boswell resident Marian Wiacek tracks his expe-rience as a Polish boy whose family is first deported from their homeland and then pushed into a bewildering odyssey that would take them into Asia and Africa and the Middle East before the Second World War came to a close.

Drawing on diaries he kept as a child, a keen eye for detail and his remarkable memory, Wiacek’s descriptions, and a sparkling array of rare photographs, pull the reader into an unfamiliar and uncomfortable world.

Wiacek was just 10 years of age in 1940 when Soviet sol-diers arrived to herd him, his mother, eight-year-old brother and five-year-old sister into a train of cattle wagons destined for Russia. His father had already been arrested and it would be years before his fate became known. (He was one of thousands of Polish soldiers captured and murdered by the Soviet army.)

As the oldest child, even at 10, young Marian took his responsi-bilities seriously. After a tortur-ous two-week winter train ride, with as many as 70 people crowded into each cattle wagon, which featured a hole in the floor serving as the toilet, the prison-ers — arrested for no reason other than being Polish — dis-embarked to a labour camp. Marian quickly became an adventurous and creative con-tributor. His mother, who had been comfortably ensconced in the Polish upper middle class only days earlier, worked as a logging laborer, and Marian ven-tured into the woods. There he put to use his enormous store of common sense and knowledge gained from mushroom-picking expeditions near his former home to good use. Soon, he was gathering mushrooms and ber-ries and using rudimentary fish-ing poles and lines to catch fish. In short order he was drying mushrooms and selling them to others to help supplement the family’s meager income as mem-bers suffered from illnesses com-mon to those who live in pover-ty. His entrepreneurial bent would continue to serve him well throughout the war.

Astonishing in its detail is an up close and personal recollec-tion of one boy’s wartime life in wartime. Wiacek’s family was

REVIEW

among as many as two million Poles who were captured and imprisoned in labour camps in Siberia and other Soviet Union locations. In 2011, he was award-ed the Siberian Cross, recogniz-ing enforced Polish deportations, in a ceremony at Creston’s Royal Canadian Legion.

The story takes an unexpect-ed turn in 1941, when Poland becomes a Russian ally as a result of the German invasion. Technically freed and no longer considered prisoners, the Wiacek family is once again on the move, but at the mercy of armies and bureaucrats in a world deep in conflict. A month-long train trip south-ward, with food scarce and ill-ness rampant, takes them to another camp, where work in the cotton fields provides mea-ger sustenance. In 1942 the Polish army organizes their travel by ship to Iran and, even-tually, Uganda.

By the end of the war, Wiacek was preparing for life

as a Polish soldier, living in Palestine and attending a mechanical high school. In 1947, he made his way to England, where he found work and was able to bring his other family members from East Africa.

Wiacek’s memoir makes for a satisfying reading experience, providing day-to-day details of his life and putting them into the context of a world at war. Window to Freedom was edit-ed by Luanne Armstrong and Betsy Brierley, and the book’s cover and interior design are the work of Boswell’s Warren Clark.

Armstrong commends the book as “of interest to anyone of Polish heritage, to scholars of World War Two, to fans of great non-fiction, and to interest readers internationally.”

Window to Freedom is avail-able in Creston at Kingfisher Used Books or it can be ordered from Marian Wiacek, for $25 at 1453 Farrell Avenue, Delta, BC, V4L 1V3 or at [email protected].

Established by community-minded people in the 1970s, the Crisis Line has evolved into a service with a comprehensive training program and community safeguards in place, and is now considered an essential service in the region.

“We are striving to be an integral part of the East Kootenays by offer-ing a 24 hour support system and safety net to those in crisis. We’ve also been part of a consultation team for clients with chronic mental illness, to ensure a strong support system is in place when things are not going well.”

Creston RCMP, Hammond said, get frequent calls relating to sui-cidal behavior, from friends and family requesting well-being checks to emergency calls for medical treatment. It is helpful, he said, to understand more about the problem.

The Crisis Line website pro-vides the following information:

WArNING SIGNS OF SuIcIDeBecause of shame, stigma, and

the societal assumption that sui-cide is something that happens to “them” as opposed to “us” we often miss its warning signs which spell out the acronym IS PATH WARM.

Ideation – Talking or thinking about suicide.

Substance Abuse – Misusing substances can be a serious red flag that something is wrong. 50 per cent of all sui-cide deaths in Canada have an alcohol com-ponent.

Purposelessness – Someone who has lost a sense of purpose in life. In this economy, this is especially rele-vant since unemploy-ment rates continue to increase.

Anxiety – Worrying about things we have no control over such as job losses and finances.

Trapped – Feelings of being stuck in a hopeless situation that there is no way out of.

Hopelessness – Feeling like noth-ing will ever get better.

Withdrawal – Pulling away from family, friends, or activities when they are needed the most.

Anger – Feelings of constant rage and anger.

Recklessness – Taking dangerous risks with health or safety.

Mood Changes – Marked chang-es in mood.

If you or anyone you know dis-plays one or more of these warning signs for suicide, please call the crisis line and talk with one of our empa-thetic and skilled crisis line workers for support and information. They can help assess the situation, work jointly to create a safe plan, and help connect you or the person you’re concerned about to appropriate com-munity health resources.

How do people access support?Call the Crisis Line at 1-888-353

CARE (2273); orCall 1-800-SUICIDE a 24/7 pro-

vincial network providing every person in B.C. with access to critical suicide intervention and preven-tion. This service is provided by members of the Crisis Line Association of B.C. and was the first of its kind in Canada.

“There are local services available to people in crisis, but we need to get the word out about how to find them,” said Creston RCMP Staff Sgt. Darryl Hammond.

Hammond’s concern stemmed from a police file in which a local person didn’t know where to turn for help.

“Help is only a phone call

away, where Crisis Line volun-teers can help a caller get access to the resources and support they need,” he said.

The East Kootenay Crisis Line, managed by the Canadian Mental Health Association for the Kootenays, provides a crisis safety net for East Kootenay residents. A call to 1-888-353-CARE (2273) connects callers to volunteers, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Volunteers are trained to deal with a vari-

ety of mental health issues, including suicide, stressors in relationships, and domestic violence.

“Crisis Line volunteers are available to listen, help problem solve, and have access to infor-mation on a number of mental health resources,” according to the organization’s website (www.kootenays.cmha.bc.ca). “Referrals and protocols are in place for emergencies to ensure quality assistance to callers.”

One of my favourite stories tells of the foreign student who is baffled by a Canadian schoolmate who struggles in English class. “Isn’t it your language?” he asks.

My love of language no doubt was a key factor in my chosen career as a newspaperman (which is the way I like to describe myself). I was always a good spell-er and writing came easily to me, but I am routinely surprised to see and hear glaring errors in spelling, word usage and pronunciation at every turn. Why, I wonder, can’t people take advantage of the world of resources that are at their very fingertips when they are sit-ting at a computer?

In my early days at the Advance, editors Sue Betcher and Helena White and I liked nothing better than to start out our Fridays by tackling the very good crossword puzzle that we ran in each Thursday (the Advance had Monday and Thursday editions back then). We worked indepen-dently to solve the puzzle, but would consult if we got stuck on a clue. When we were all baffled one of us would make the call to the Creston Public Library, where chief librarian Barb Thomas was only too happy to help (although chanc-es were that she would know the answer without having to consult reference books!).

That was in the late 1970s and early 1980s, though. Personal com-puters and the Internet had not yet changed our lives. Fast-forward to today, when while writing I might do a Google search or use an online dictionary or access one of more of a seemingly infinite refer-

ence sources, all accessed with a couple of simply key strokes. We are in an age where information is more easily available than ever before, and I am thrilled to be part of it.

I love that questions that arise from a simple conversation can be answered immediately. Who wrote that book or song? When did that happen? What was that song lyric? What poet talked about fog and cat’s feet? (Carl Sandburg in Fog, where he wrote, “The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on.”

Sometimes it doesn’t even take a search engine. An app on my iPhone identifies a song playing on the radio within seconds, with astonishing accuracy. Start to tap an address into Google Maps and the location often pops up before you have even entered the name of a city.

Earlier this year we watched the movie Brooklyn, for which the lead actress received an Academy Award nomination. Saoirse Ronan played the role as an Irish immi-grant to the U.S. beautifully. But how on earth is that name pro-nounced? By Googling “pro-nounce saoirse” — don’t waste

effort with capitalizations — and the answer is provided verbally within seconds. “SEER-shuh”. I have no recollection about how I learned the pronunciation of Siobhan (“Shih-VON”) in pre-Internet days, but I do remember being fascinated last year when watching a YouTube video of a Scot sitting in an arm chair and pronouncing a list of Scotch whis-ky names. I was surprised at how many I didn’t know.

So when I hear a broadcaster mispronounce a word, my first thought is, “How much effort would it have taken to get it right?” But the trick, of course, is that you first have to suspect you might not have it right.

When I was a kid I treasured my two hardcover activity books that included puzzles, stories and jokes. But for years I puzzled over a knock-knock joke.

“Knock-knock.”“Who’s there?”“Theophilus.”“Theophilus who?”“Theophilus Punovall!”(Confession: I just Googled

Theophilus to double-check the spelling.)

What, I wondered, was funny about that pun? Too stubborn to simply ask my parents, I kept my bafflement to myself until one day, through some unrecalled source, I learned that Theophilus is not pro-nounced the-oh-FILL-us, but the-AWFUL-us.

My childhood would have been less complicated if I had only had Google and YouTube!

To the Editor:Three years from now, Canadians will

be heading back to the polls for our 43rd federal election (but I suspect you already knew that). By 2019, I believe the Conservative Party will return in full force, completely reorganized, well disci-plined, highly motivated and with new, fresh ideas — having a little faith wouldn’t hurt either! All it needs is the right leader (whoever he or she will be), who possesses a warm heart, has a sense of humour, is compassionate, sentimen-tal, strong-willed, spiritual and a progres-sive thinker, and who is not afraid to go against the grain for the greater good of everyone — as well as for future genera-tions. Come to think of it, all of these same qualities pretty much describe me!

As for me personally, I believe all men and women are created equal, along with the First Nations and lesbian, gay, bisex-ual and transgender (LGBT), because we are all God’s children. Racism, bigotry and any type of bullying have no place in society. It is also important to protect the most vulnerable, such as the poor, and those who are unable to care for themselves. Anyway, let the conservative revolution begin!

In closing, I would like to wish every-one a happy Easter, and remember, the Lord is always watching over you, along with his angels. I also look forward to this time every year to watch the film The Ten Commandments on TV, starring Charlton Heston as Moses. This is one of my favourite movies of all time, from 1956.

You take care, keep thinking posi-tively, be optimistic, and have faith and

hope, because great and wonderful things are on the horizon. Angels exist and miracles do occur.

To the Editor:The discouragement voiced by

Emily Ritter-Riegling in The Teen Take (“Act Now to Preserve World for Our Future Generations”, March 3) is sad-dening. The constant beating of the drums of doom by the apostles of the apocalypse leads to unnecessary and false fear of the future.

False? “The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now,” said Paul Ehrlich in The Population Bomb (1968). “What Ehrlich predicted for the 1970s could be waiting for us in the 1990s,” said David Suzuki and Anita Gordon in It’s A Matter of Survival (1990). And now in 2016? The food problem in the West is too many of us are too fat. Only where there are tribal or religious wars or where there are totalitarian dictators is there still wide-spread serious malnutrition and starva-tion, though the push for biofuels by the apostles of the apocalypse such as Al Gore do bring a wider risk.

If Emily and her cohorts obey the dicta of the apostles of the apocalypse, and retreat to the caves, then yes, they will see a world that is worse, and their lives will be diminished.

Instead, read widely. Read The Skeptical Environmentalist by Bjorn

Lomborg, Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout by Patrick Moore, Smaller, Faster, Lighter, Denser, Cheaper by Robert Bryce and about Nobel Peace Prize winner Norman Borlaug. Read I Touch the Future by Robert T. Holler — a bad ending to the flight, but Christa McAuliffe was one who chose to “do”, not to retreat to the caves. Read widely, think critically, ques-tion, challenge. Watch the Ted Talk, “How Not to be Ignorant About the World”, by Hans and Ola Rosling.

If Emily and her cohorts choose to do, then the world will be a better place, and their lives will be enriched.

Do what? Certainly, maintain a good work-family balance. Career wise, here are a few of the multitude of options: become a chemical engineer and oper-ate a plant that extracts lithium from spodumene, become an engineer and design better turbines and pumps to improve the efficiency of hydro and of pumped storage, become a surgeon and keep grandparents mobile with knee or hip replacements, or become a carpenter and build and repair and improve people’s homes.

If the choice is to do, will you have setbacks? Of course. Will you make mistakes? Certainly; you are human. Will it be hard? Let John F. Kennedy answer that one: “We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to post-pone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.”

Retreat to the caves, or do: the choice is with Emily and her cohorts.

In his essay, “Mountains and Rivers Sutra”, Eihei Dogen, a 13th century Zen monk, lists several ways of understand-ing the Zen teachings. He presents three traditional approaches to understand-ing. The first phrase he discusses in this paragraph is “turning circumstances and turning the mind.”

Zen teachers before Dogen said that what we need to do is “turn circum-stances and turn the mind” rather than allowing circumstances of daily life and thoughts that arise in mind to turn us. But Dogen says no, that’s not it; that’s not what the Buddha taught.

In his next sentence he refers to a teaching that many Zen masters of his day emphasized, “seeing into mind and seeing into essence.” These words are a translation of the Japanese word, ken-

sho, or enlightenment experience. “Buddhas grumble when you idealize enlightenment,” says Dogen. Only peo-ple who know nothing about Zen would say this. Nothing could be more harm-ful than teaching the dharma this way.

Here, Dogen denies the common view of Zen practice that he encountered when he travelled to China to train with the Chinese masters. At that time in China many Zen teachers emphasized the enlightenment experience. We still see this today in the pop spirituality movements that encourage us to imagine that we can attend a workshop to have an enlighten-ment that will free us from suffering. “This is not the Buddha dharma,” says Dogen.

Finally he says, “Confined words and phrases do not lead to liberation.” Here he is referring to the popular Zen practice of studying koans, teaching stories about the realizations of past Zen teachers. Dogen is denying that the powerful insights that come from koan study lead to liberation. With these words he wipes away every-thing that previous Zen teachers have taught and has us sitting on the edge of our seats. If those three ways of practice don’t free us, what do?

Dogen answers our question. “There is something free from all of these views. Green mountains are always walking

and eastern mountains travel on water.” This is astonishing. He is telling us that

the answer to the mystery is a poetic phrase. In effect he is saying, “When I say green mountains are always walking and eastern mountains travel on water, I am not talking about all this other stuff. I’m not using Zen phrases in the same way, and you must study this in detail.

In other words, setting up a Zen phrase or enlightenment experiences as more important than an ordinary phrase or ordinary living is a mistake that leads to all kinds of goal seeking, hierarchies and harmful dynamics. He doesn’t deny that there is a transcendent and power-ful life full of gratitude, but that life is no other than the one we are living in this very moment, right here.

Suggested practice: In the next two weeks, notice the various ways in which you look to the future to bring you last-ing happiness. Then see true happiness right here, right now.

Public Welcome

“Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah, strum-ming on the old banjo.”

There are many “someones” in the kitchen at the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors and the strumming today comes from the big room where Ivan and Vera are practicing while the rest of the Tuesday Strummers arrive. The enticing smell of meatballs cooking and date cake just out of the oven attracts appreciative comments from the morning arrivals.

A lunch meal is offered most days, except when an outing to a local restaurant is planned, and it takes many hands to bring it all together. For some folks, coming to share a meal in good company is the highlight of their day or week.

If you peek in during prep, cooking, serving or cleanup times, you’ll see a flurry of activity, except for the much needed “supervisors” —

SubmittedTherapeutic Activation Program for Seniors volunteers Claire and Nikki.

The sun is out but a cold breeze is blowing. My friend the beekeeper stopped by to say the bees were out foraging in the warmth of the sun the other day. They were collect-

ing pollen. An hour later, I’m sitting inside at the lunch table watching clouds of pol-len blow off the hedge by the house window. Every little gust of wind picked a little more pollen from the ever-green branches. I had been thinking it was just dust from the highway.

Bees are always after the early flowers, such as willow. They also like the early crocus and tulip flowers. Once the nursery stock is laid out for spring, they are attracted to the red heather, the yellow forsyth-ia and the bell-shaped flowers

of the lily of the valley shrub. Butterflies are attracted to perennial plant flowers like yarrow, asters and echinacea. They like daphne and rose flowers, too. These last two

smell pretty good to me too but that won’t be for a few months yet.

Well, as I men-tioned, spring is here. The phone is ringing. I am working hard to get the whole opera-tion organized and running smoothly. Folks are inquiring

about fruit trees, dormant sprays and fertilizers. I hope to be open by the time you are reading this. In the meantime, I would say that it is a great time of year to improve your garden soil structure by adding plenty of organic matter to it. Compost, rotted manure and peat moss are all excellent sources of organic matter and will improve your soil’s moisture-holding capacity, making watering easier through the heat of summer.

We’re supposed to be in a super El Niño year, with the warmest February on record in

many parts of the world. March here has been mild. Planting fruit trees is OK now; most of them are quite tolerant of cold nights when dormant, anyway.

If you have a few days of sun in a row and the nights are around or above freezing, it is safe enough to apply your dormant sprays. Remember to keep the sulphur component off your apricot trees. Some of them are damaged by it. Dormant sprays are applied to the orchard trees right up to when the blossoms open. Farmers that wait longer get a better bug kill from the oil component of the spray. I usu-ally take care of it a little ear-lier because I run out of time later.

As for fertilizers, it is recom-mended that you use a split application of all purpose or fruit tree food with half now and half later on in June. This will help keep the trees from growing too much vegetatively (green growth) early in the sea-son. This should help even out the fruit production too, one year over the next.

Tips from TAPS

Weather fine to applyfertilizer, dormant sprays

you know, the dedicated back benchers sitting along the far wall whose idea of participation is to watch and comment. Everyone finds their place at TAPS. Then there’s the dining room setup with chairs and cloths and place settings, serving refreshments and eventually bringing the meal items to the tables and then dessert. And, of course, the dishes, then cleanup to do. Amidst all this is the joking with one another, teas-ing, quiet times, meeting new people, or noticing someone needs help.

I mentioned we had a mix of ages in our volunteer team, and indeed the age range is from 19-80. Nikki and Clare are our youngest, having originally been part of a student work experience through the high school. Mentored by our staff and experienced volunteers, Nikki and Clare have become a much loved and appreciated part of the team. We are pleased to be part of their lives, too, as we see them mastering new skills, sharing who they are and bringing joy to our seniors and to the staff. Participants from the Cresteramics program come once a week with Colleen, Ed and Reg as our awesome cookie making team under the guidance of Randy.

Our yearlong program working with youth from Grizzly Bear Out of School Care, Homelinks and the Mormon Hills School is coming to a close. We at TAPS want to thank the teachers, instructors and students for participating in this intergenerational and multigenerational project to get to know each other through sharing stories and culture. We’ll be writing more about what we all got up to, and plan to display the project at events around town in the coming months. Our thanks to a grant from the federal government’s New Horizons for Seniors program.

Many ‘someones’ keep TAPS running smoothly

A big thank you to all who bought our 2016 calendar, to Mike at Creston Card and Stationery, to Teresa and Gary at Black Bear Books, and Joe and Katherine at Kingfisher Used Books for putting them on display, and the Creston Rotary Club for its financial assistance.

Maintaining a program like TAPS in our community is a credit to all of you. It is one way we can honour the lives of our seniors and their life contributions by providing this opportunity for social engagement and being part of the com-munity with a little help from friends.

We apply for a variety of grants each year, do fundraising and recognize indi-viduals and groups such as Gleaners who have donated financially through Valley Community Services annually or in the past year. Information on our new endowment fund through Valley Community Services is on the website (www.valley.services) or by contacting the office at 250-428-5547.

Creston ValleyREALTY 250-402-3903

Since coming to the Creston Valley many years ago, I have noticed a great increase in recre-ational options around the valley. There has also been a big change, for the better, in people’s attitude

towards recreational activities and involvement in those opportuni-

ties. More specifically, today, there are a lot more trails and walks available, and a lot more people tak-ing advantage of the posi-tive lifestyle benefits they provide. Trails and walk-ways also provide healthy ways for both pet owners and their pets to enjoy

healthy activities, together in com-pany with other trail users, such as bikers, walkers and hikers.

Barring a few incidents, I have also observed an increasingly greater positive role taken in pet

management by pet owners, and paralleling that, a higher level of accommodation by other trail users for pets and their owners. It grows from an increased respect for oth-ers and awareness for that need.

There are many matters that pet owners give strict attention to. One is maintain-ing a healthy trail environ-

ment. It’s nice to know that the trail is clean so that people with little two-year-olds can enjoy the walk without having to monitor their charge every second to make sure they don’t pick up some dog “goodie”. Pet owners often take care of that risk by using baggies for clean up. Also, people of both sides would vote for baggie dis-posal rather than a poopy shoe.

While hiking trails from Kaslo River Trail to the Sandpoint-

Dover Community Trail and the Nelson Salmo Great Northern Trail to the Cran-brook Elizabeth Lake trails, I have seen some very innovative and even amus-ing signs to remind pet owners and others of pet management that will help make trails more user friendly. Business is picking up!

Footlighters auditioning for summer melodramaFOOtLIGHterS

tHeAtre SOcIety

Footlighters Theatre Society’s 21st season conclud-ed on the weekend with the locally written The Stepsisters’ Revenge, and the troupe is pre-paring for its 22nd season by holding auditions at 7 p.m. March 29 at the Sasquatch for The Secret of Charity Teach, the melodrama that will run in July.

The latest in a long string of summer melodramas, The Secret of Charity Teach will be the directorial debut for Jennifer Adams, who has had roles in many recent produc-tions, including Cinderella and its sequel, The Stepsisters’ Revenge, Carousel and last sea-son’s melodrama, The Great Ice Cream Scheme.

“I really love performing, but I’ve considered directing for quite a while,” said Adams. “I’m excited to see my vision for this play brought to life.”

As with any good melodra-ma, the play is rich in the required elements — unattain-able love, secrets, deception and trickery. Pirates, ancient buried treasure, sight gags and physical humour add to the fun.

The Secret of Charity Teach involves Franklin Degwood, mayor of a town famous for the

legendary Lost Treasure of Blackbeard, who is concerned about the need for a housemaid since his daughter, Darling, is busy organizing events for noble causes.

Charity Teach arrives, favou-

rite feather duster in hand, hoping for work — and it’s love at first sight when she meets the mayor’s son, Sheriff Ernest Dewgood. But ne’er-do-well town councilman Simon Snarewell sets his eyes on

Charity and determines that the town now has two trea-sures he wants to claim. And he has the help of the foxy Femoria Fatale and pirate professor Percival Woolsey.

The cast requires five men and three women. Auditions will be by cold readings from the script, as well as briefly singing. While not all perform-ers will have to sing solo in the performance, leading actors will likely take part in a song or two.

As well as adding songs, new jokes will also be added, giving this old-fashioned melo-drama a new twist sure to bring laughter to audiences of all ages.

“There will definitely be opportunities for performers to bring their own ideas to the show,” said Adams.

For more information, con-tact Adams at 250-431-8106.

The production of The Secret of Charity Teach will run July 7-9, kicking off a season sched-uled to include Beauty and the Beast in December and And Then There Were None in March.

Brian LawrenceJennifer Adams, who directs the next Footlighters show, and Kevin Boehmer in last summer’s melodrama.

We, Mark Toland “The Lone Ranger” and “Plus 1” Tammy Head, started our construction business in September 2015. He’s been a carpenter for over 30 years and she’s been a Red Seal certi� ed welder for 12.

Our jobs kept us away from home and family so we decided to open a business where we could work and be together and spend more time with our families. Since Mark’s daughter has been going to school in Creston for the past � ve years it made

perfect sense that we could make a great life here, in this beautiful valley.

Our Lone Ranger Plus 1 Construction Company can build your new and renovate your keeper. We are honest, reliable, and take pride in our work. Whenever possible we source our materials locally. Hopefully we’ll be busy enough to hire local help to our team soon.

So please, give us a call so we can talk about what we can do for you!

The College of the Rockies (COTR) and Prince Charles Secondary School’s (PCSS) seventh offering of the foundation carpentry program kicked off in February.

Offered at the high school by both PCSS and COTR instructors, the program pro-vides both high school stu-dents and community mem-bers the opportunity to com-plete foundation-level car-pentry training.

Students enrolled at PCSS are able to enrol in the carpentry program through the Accelerated Credit Enrolment in Industry Training (ACE-IT) program, which allows students to obtain both high school graduation credits and the first year of a trade pro-gram. This year’s carpentry program has 13 students enrolled, 11 of whom are a part of the ACE-IT program.

“Our partnership with Prince Charles Secondary School has been ongoing for several years,” said COTR trades and technology dean

Jack Moes. “It is a great win-win, allowing us to leverage PCSS facilities while offer-ing a beneficial program to PCSS students, as well as to others in the community. Graduates of the program also help to fill local labour market demands.”

The carpentry program includes a substantial hands-on learning compo-nent, with students fram-ing an actual home during the course of their train-ing. Completion of the foundation program pro-vides students with a com-prehensive set of skills and knowledge needed to seek entry-level employ-ment in the construction industry or to market themselves to future

employers should they be interested in seeking apprenticeships.

“The ACE-IT program, and the earlier versions of trades training programs that PCSS has partnered with College of the Rockies on, have been enormously successful for the young men and women of the Creston Valley,” said PCSS principal Scott Cobbe. “We have seen dozens of young people get their start in productive trades careers and pursue opportunities throughout the province and country. I am very happy to renew and con-solidate our partnership with the college.”

On Feb. 16, Canyon-Lister Elementary School’s Be the Change group officially joined the Blue Dot movement, a project of the David Suzuki Foundation that believes all people have a fundamental human right to clean air, soil and water.

CLES Be the Change students lead an assembly to celebrate. Their presentation was to edu-cate and inspire their fellow stu-dents to take action, to become a part of looking after and protect-ing the environment:

“We believe that everyone has the right to clean air, clean soil and clean water. In the fall, the Be the Change group took charge. We spent four weeks trying to change our everyday behaviours. We tried to live environmentally aware.

“Some of us brushed our teeth only using a cup of water, instead

of the Canadian average which is eight litres of water wasted every time we brush our teeth! In four weeks we saved almost 2,000 litres of water.

“Some of us picked up gar-bage. We picked up a total of 671 pieces of garbage.

“Some of us brought in elec-tronics to recycle. We brought computer cords, walkie-talkies, cellphones, phones, kettles and other household appliances. Did you know that when we recycle a cellphone, we save the environ-ment? Every time minerals used to make cellphones are mined, important habitat of endangered animals is destroyed. We saved these items from going into our dumps, leaking metals and poi-soning our ground water.

“Some of us brought one gar-bageless lunch to school each week. We brought reusable con-tainers, we brought fruit that

comes with its own natural wrap-ping and we cut down packaging waste from going into our school garbage.

“During the last few weeks, Be the Change group has been busy. We each wrote a true story about an environmental issue that is important to us. One student wrote about going on a fishing trip with their dad — believing that we need clean water to catch and eat clean fish. He wants to always be able to go fishing with his dad! Some of us wrote about the need to save the caribou — believing that they need clean land to live on and call home. Some wrote about the butterflies — believing that we need clean air for the butterflies to be healthy and to pollinate our flowers and our food.”

A student inspired pillowcase project topped things off! On one side, the pillowcases spelled “Be the Change”, and when they

were flipped over, there were beautiful images of fish, caribou, butterflies, lizards, horses — what children are passionate about: clean air, land and water.

At the end of the assembly, Be the Change students pledged to be

silent for the rest of the day, silently standing up for the environmental issue that they believe in. As Be the Change students, they believe it is important to, as Mahatma Ghandi said, “be the change you wish to see in the world.”

Easter eggs are a centrepiece of many family traditions come Easter Sunday. Easter eggs symbolize fertility and rebirth to some, but many people associate Easter eggs with youngsters scouring the yard in search of treasure.Whether Easter eggs are associated with secular or religious beliefs, these colourful staples of Easter Sunday are an integral part of springtime holiday decor and celebrations. Certain misconceptions about Easter eggs have developed over time, and the following are some of the more common myths about Easter eggs that have made the rounds.Myth: Easter eggs are safe to eat after your egg hunt is over.Fact: Hard-boiled eggs generally remain safe to eat at room temperature for about two hours. If the temperature outside or indoors is very warm, the eggs should be eaten within one hour. People risk food-borne illnesses if they consume Easter eggs that have been left out for several hours or overnight. It is better to dispose of coloured eggs after the annual egg hunt or at least keep hard-boiled eggs refrigerated until the hunt begins.Myth: It is unsafe to eat all dyed Easter eggs.Fact: Whether dyed eggs are safe or not depends on the type of dye used. Many kits use vegetable-based dyes that are food-safe. These same pigments are used in traditional food colouring. Even if the dye has penetrated beneath the shell, it should still be safe for consumption. Kits for blown-out eggs may use dyes that are not food-safe. Also, people who are allergic to certain food dyes might want to avoid eating dyed eggs.Myth: Pastel-coloured eggs have long-rooted religious significance.Fact: An Easter egg hunt is a tradition that originated with pagan spring festivals. But like many pagan practices, Easter egg hunting was eventually adopted by Christians and assigned religious significance. In the Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches, Easter eggs are dyed red to represent the blood of Christ shed on the cross. The hard shell of the egg symbolizes the sealed Tomb of Christ for many. In A.D. 1610 under Pope Paul V, the Christian Church officially adopted the Easter

egg custom that the eggs symbolize the resurrection.Myth: An Easter egg roll is an American tradition.Fact: In Germany, England and other countries, children traditionally rolled eggs down hillsides at Easter. This practice may have initially symbolized the rolling away of the rock from Jesus Christ’s tomb before his resurrection. When European immigrants arrived in North America, they brought these Easter egg traditions with them.Myth: A raw egg will stand on end during the spring equinox.Fact: It is believed that because the sun is equidistant from the south and north poles on the spring equinox, special gravitational forces apply on this day. These forces should make it possible to balance an egg on its end only on this day. However, eggs can be balanced at other times of the year. Perhaps instead of hiding eggs for Easter, families may choose to hold egg b a l a n c i n g competitions.Easter eggs are a lasting tradition and one of the more popular symbols of the holiday. Although many myths surround Easter eggs, the truth is just waiting to be unhatched. TF144100

NC) With the warm and sunny days ahead, Easter is a holiday celebration awaited by foodies and crafts lovers. Spring is the best season to refresh and add some colour to your everyday life. Discover smart tips and easy DIY ideas to create as a family for a fun and colourful Easter.

For Sara Douglass, CEO at Stampin’ Up! a scrapbooking and stamping company, Easter is the perfect time to enjoy creative activities. “Whether you are an amateur or a crafting expert, the arrival of spring makes us want to get out of our comfort zone and add some creative flair and personal touches to our home and routine. This time of the year is marked by a desire for renewal,” she explains.

For a festive and spring-inspired decor, why not start by adding floral touches to your interior? The colourful papers from the Botanical Garden

Designer Series papers can be used as place mats for your guests at the table or to decorate a handmade greeting card.

Easter is also an occasion to reunite with loved ones. Take advantage of these moments to express your feelings for them by creating your own greeting card. The Picture Perfect stamping kit is the perfect starting base for creating your greeting card. All you have to do then is choose the cardstocks and the accessories that reflect your inspiration and express

your best wishes.Those with a sweet tooth would love to receive their

favourite chocolate or candies in a custom-made box. Start with the Tiny Treat Boxes that you could decorate as you want with stamps, cardstocks or the Tag a Bag accessory kit, allowing you to identify each of your gifts.

For the first time since 2000, the Creston Valley Minor Hockey Association’s Atom B Bruins have brought home the banner, after win-ning the East Kootenay Minor Hockey Association championships on Feb. 28.

The Bruins closed out the regular season in first place, having lost only one game to the Windermere Valley Rockies. They then went on to win every game in the championships. Narrowly beating Kimberley in the round-robin, they faced off against the Rockies in the final. Both teams played hard but the Bruins came out with a 5-0 victory over the Rockies.

CRESTON

By Steve HuBrecHtcolumbia valley Pioneer

Jumbo Glacier Resort municipality is making it clear that it doesn't plan to take a seat at the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) board of directors table any time soon. The Jumbo council passed a resolution at its most recent council meeting to push back the time when it is scheduled to do just that.

The resolution was proposed by Jumbo mayor Greg Deck at the March 15 council meeting, requesting the provincial government amend the part of the municipality's letters patent (the pro-vincial legislation that created and incorporated the mountain resort municipality) that would have seen it become a sitting member of the RDEK when it either had sufficient residents, reached a certain level of assessment, or in January 2017, whichever came first.

“We do not have those residents yet,” said Deck, who was participating in the meeting by phone, noting the January 2017 date is coming up soon. He said that although the municipality is chipping in financially to the RDEK by paying hospital and RDEK taxes, there is little point in it doing any more than that.

“All the reasons to not have an active role in the RDEK will still be there in January 2017 and are still sound,” he said. “I think we should ask

Jumbo municipality to defer joining RDEKthe provincial government to extend that original timeline for another three years to January 2020 (by amending the letters patent).”

He added the move should not attract any controversy. Deck later said the proposed three-year extension does not necessarily mean that January 2020 is when the municipality expects to have enough residents or be developed enough to warrant a seat on the RDEK board of directors, and in that sense is somewhat arbitrary.

“It’s difficult to say (when there will be residents and development) because there are many outside factors that make it hard to predict that schedule," said Deck.

The resolution passed unanimously.

During the meeting, Jumbo council also gave initial readings to its 2016-2020 financial plan bylaw and received and accepted the municipality's 2015 audited financial statements. Jumbo chief financial officer Karen Sharp pointed out a discrepancy between the two documents — that the financial plan bylaw (which is the municipality's budget) shows the Small Communities Grant and Community Works Fund coming in future years, while the 2015 audited financial statements show them being deferred during the previ-ous year. The Jumbo municipality receiving these grants has been the subject of previous controversy.

“We still have to recognize on the financial plan that we could have that

money coming in. I have to show in the (2016) budget the potential for these funds to come in,” said Sharp. “In the actual financial statement at the end of the year (2016), that's when it will show we have deferred the funds.”

As evidence, she pointed to the 2015 financial statements, page five of which has a budgeted revenue of about $250,000 in government transfers con-trasted with an actual revenue of rough-ly $121,000 in government transfers.

“We did not actually receive the Small Communities Grant, we deferred it. The figures show how that works out,” she said.

The financial plan bylaw will likely be adopted at the next Jumbo council meeting.

Kimberley will be the hometown of a new junior hockey team, a women's team that plays in a league dedicated to providing opportunities for young women to develop into collegiate student-athletes.

The Junior Women’s Hockey League announced that it has approved three new teams for next sea-son, which marks the league's 10-year anniversary.

Mikko Makela, former NHL player and long-time Warner Hockey School coach, will coach the team. Ridley College in St. Catherines, Ont., and the Chicago “Young Americans” (Chicago, IL), will also begin play for 2016-2017.

A press release from the league said that Makela knows the JWHL well and will be able to bring elite players to Kimberley. The league quoted the Kimberley Academy as saying they "are thrilled" at the opportunity presented by the JWHL to be joining one of the premier female hockey leagues in North America.

“We are very excited to build on the long hockey tradition of our community by adding an elite female program to the renowned Dynamiter hockey history."

The Junior Women's Hockey League was estab-lished in 2007 by Bill Driscoll and Kush Sidhu. It started with four teams, and has since expanded to more than a dozen in Canada and the U.S. Teams are assigned to a division (East or West), based mostly on where the organizations are located.

Each team plays against the other teams in its division 3 times and against the teams in the other division two times during the regular season for a 27 game regular season. Following the regular sea-son, a playoff is held to determine the champion.

“The JWHL has been successful at developing players because of our commitment to our teams and athletes,” said JWHL co-founder Kush Sidhu said. "With a few teams leaving the JWHL, we are able to take this opportunity to bring in three solid and proven partners who will help us exe-cute on our mission going forward.”

By WILL JOHNSONNelson Star

You start out as a dung bee-tle, but if you play your cards right you could end up as a transcendent being. That’s the concept behind Karmaka, a tac-tical board game created by Nelson developer Eddie Boxerman, and it’s one that earned him $220,000 in a Kickstarter campaign earlier this year.

“I like to think of it as a sort of karmic judo,” Boxerman told the Nelson Star. “It’s based on the theme of karmic justice— what goes around, comes around — so if I do something nasty to some-one, they’re going to be able to do that to me during my next life. But if I do some-thing nice, then ultimately I’ll benefit.”

Your pile of cards counts as a life, and as you watch them dwindle you can also watch

your future life begin to pile up face-down. Part of the strategy involves funnelling as many positive cards in that direction as possible, but often other priorities get in the way — just like in real life.

“It’s pretty tactical. It can sound a bit Zen, the whole idea of trying to become a transcen-dent being, but at the end of the day you’re still trying to win a game. It’s a competitive, not co-operative game.”

This was an idea Boxerman has been kicking around for years, since before releasing his first game, Osmos, about seven years ago. That’s when he started collaborating with Toronto’s Dave Burke, the game’s co-creator. And though they’d spent years on the project, they didn’t antici-pate the success their Kickstarter campaign would enjoy.

“We were trying to raise $20,000, because that’s what we figured was the minimum to do a production run with the manufacturer,” said Boxerman. “If we hadn’t made 20 I would’ve been disappointed, 20 to 50 would’ve been pretty good but 220? We couldn’t believe it.”

That means they can pro-duce a premium quality game, as opposed to the smaller scale

version they envisioned. They also need to deliver the game to 7,500 customers worldwide by November, something Boxerman has been busily pre-paring for from his co-working space above the Oso Negro cof-fee shop.

“We’re going to push the button on manufacturing in two to three months. They take two to three months to manu-facture, then we get them on boats and send them every-where in the world.”

Their first run will be 10,000 copies, and they’re also trying to find their way into retail stores. The illustrations were done by Marco Bucci, an artist with experience working on the Star Wars franchise and with Mattel.

The game is intended for two to four players, with a two-player game lasting 30 minutes and a four-player one often tak-ing an hour.

Boxerman said he feels sup-ported by the artistic commu-nity of Nelson, and appreciates the growing tech community. His wife Angela Schade grew up here and they have a young daughter. He’s thrilled he can do his work from such a pictur-esque locale.

“The city has been doing a lot to attract tech people and support them, and I really appreciate that,” he said.

Nelson developer Eddie Boxerman has created a tactical card game called Karmaka in which players must work their way up the karmic ladder from dung beetle to transcendent being. It will receive a large-scale international release in approxi-mately six months.Will Johnson

O� tuariesWayne Edwin Bright

Wayne Edwin Bright passed away peacefully on March 15, 2016.Wayne was a man who loved a good joke, fi shing, camping and his family. He was remembered for pacing many hockey rinks from end to end while his sons Blaine and Trent were playing. This habit carried on while watching his grandson Cole play the game too.Wayne was always happiest when he was out camping. The more family or friends camping out too, the better. Many mornings when the camp started to rise, Wayne was already out fi shing in his boat. He may not have caught much, but he loved being out on the quiet water.Wayne will be dearly missed by his wife Diane, his son Blaine and wife Melanie and his only grandchild, Cole.He was predeceased by his parents Lester and Pearl, and his son Trent.

Playing cards with the grandkids and ‘accidentally’ throwing away the wild card was also popular. Muriel was predeceased by her husband Charlies Fulop in 1998 and her son Curtis Fulop in 1991.Muriel will always be fondly remembered for her love of family, kindness and generosity. She will be dearly missed and forever loved by her daughter Pamela (Jason), and grandchildren James and Nicole.
