BY LORNE ECKERSLEYAdvance Staff

After hearing no serious objections to a rezoning application for 801 Pine Street, town council unanimously approved it on April 14, giving the green light to proceed with plans for a multi-use commercial development.

Bylaws amendments to the Official Community Plan and previ-

ous zoning requirements will permit development of a craft distillery and brewery, restaurant, retail and other businesses.

The property, commonly known as the “bunker”, at Pine Street and Northwest Boulevard, was intended to become a seniors’ facility and motel more than a decade ago.

Council approves rezoning of ‘bunker’

Second public piano coming to downtownBY LORNE ECKERSLEY

Advance Staff

The northwest corner of 10th Avenue North and Pine Street will be much livelier this summer with the installation of a second Make Music With Me piano.

After the approval of town council at the April 14 meeting, the Creston Rotary Club is in the process of turning an anonymous-ly donated piano into a work of art, with the help of artist Brandy Hunt. From the Creston Valley Blossom Festival through the summer months both pianos will be available for anyone to play when they feel inspired.

“We are inviting members of the public to paint designated

portions of the piano in return for a $10 or $20 donation,” said Rotary committee chair Marilin Grahn. “The funds will be used to purchase paint supplies for the decoration of the piano.”

The installation of a colourful Make Music With Me piano in the Canyon Street walkthrough park last year was such a suc-cess, Grahn said, that the Rotary club was happy to carry on with the project when the offer of another donated piano was received.

“In fact, we would be grateful to have another piano donated — we already have third location in mind!” she said.

The newest com-munity fund for

the Creston-Kootenay Foundation (CKF) is an animal welfare fund set up by PAWS (Pet Adoption and Welfare Society).

“They are our

friends, family mem-bers and compan-ions,” said a PAWS press release. “They are our pets, and when they pass away, we mourn. We need a way to hon-our their memory.”

PAWS past-presi-

dent Carol Freeman-Ryll wanted to get the fund rolling by making an initial contribution. The interest on this fund will benefit PAWS each year. Animal lovers can contribute to this fund by mak-

ing a donation to CKF, of cash, invest-ments, insurance pol-icies or a legacy in their will, or as a memorial to their pet.

PAWS also offers a memorial garden for interment of pet ashes and, if chosen, a plaque of identifi-cation. This lovely garden is always open for visitation at the PAWS facility on Lower Wynndel Road.

To contribute to the animal welfare fund with CKF, con-tact Ted Hutchinson at [email protected] or Heather Suttie at 250-428-7784.

RECORDThe Coffin

Dodgers slo-pitch team social sched-uled for 7 p.m. May 1 will take place at the Creston Valley Seniors Association hall, not Rotacrest Hall, which was announced in the April 9 issue.

When the owner was unable to secure funding for the project, the property was purchased by Chaplin West Ventures. When owner Michael Chaplin was unable to find investors for a similar development, he turned to a com-pletely different busi-ness plan for the site, including construction of a craft distillery.

“I am tired of look-ing at it,” was one com-ment from the gallery at the April 14 public hearing prior to the reg-ular council meeting.

“Pretty well anything would be an improve-ment,” was another.

The public hearing, which was delayed for two weeks so that council could get more information from the developer and town staff, drew a crowd that filled the gallery.

But if there were opponents to the zoning and OCP change they did not speak up.

Chaplin, who participated via telephone, and his agent, Realtor Scott Veitch, respond-ed to concerns previously raised by staff and members of the public. Those concerns included noise, traffic and odor. Town planner Jamai

Schile said that Chaplin had already addressed the issue of lighting in his proposal.

While Schile had suggest-ed council include a covenant or other restrictions that would ensure the developer hold to his commitments, par-ticularly about noise and odour, none were included in the amendments.

Creston Valley Youth Soccer

Soccer is now. Are YOU

on the fi eld?

BY BRIAN LAWRENCEAdvance Editor

For decades, the Hi Neighbour Welcome Service has greeted newcomers to the Creston Valley — and newcom-ers are now being greeted by... another newcomer.

New hostess Wendy Seifert and her husband moved to Creston about six months ago, leaving High River, Alta., where their home was dam-aged in the 2013 flood, and the city wouldn’t allow them to move back in. She and her hus-band did some research online, and also considered moving to Salmon Arm or Chase.

“We like small towns, and prefer a close-knit community,” said Seifert.

The community seemed like a good fit, and the scenery was also a factor, so the couple came to town last fall. The former interior designer—she was interested all her life and had her own window covering store from 1999-2009 — started to get involved right away, joining the Creston Art Club, where she paints with watercolours and

New Hi Neighbour hostess greeting newcomers

Hunt said she is thrilled to contribute her artistic talents to design the piano’s decor with a music and valley life theme, and will supervise the public painting sessions. The finished piano will be placed across the street from her business, Creative Fix, and when the Pine Street realign-ment project is complete, the neighborhood will change significantly.

“We will be getting more

traffic driving by, I think, so this location is ideal,” Hunt said.

The piano will be mounted on a platform to be placed on town property on the corner. It, as well as the original piano, will be protected by a new commercially made shelter with clear sides and a roof to keep the rain off. The shelters are being purchased through the generosity of private donors.

Gillian Kemle, also a mem-ber of the Creston Rotary Club, said that donors who want to paint sections of the piano can select their area of choice at the

chamber of commerce, then attend one of two painting ses-sions — 6-9 p.m. April 28 and 10 a.m.-2 p.m. May 1 — where Hunt will provide the appro-priate colour and brushes.

“Any sections of the piano not already spoken for will be available to paint for people who just show up at one of the sessions,” Kemle said.

“On behalf of the Creston Rotary Club we would like to thank the public for their enthusiastic support of the Make Music With Me project. Special thanks to Creston town council and staff for their con-tinuing support, too.”

oils, and making plans to teach custom drapery at the College of the Rockies in July.

Hi Neighbour started in the

Creston Valley in 1967, with sponsors such as Overwaitea Foods, the Advance and what is now Pharmasave taking part

from the beginning. Greeter Marj Comm took sole responsi-bility for the service in 1995, with Christy Johnson taking

over as hostess in 1999. When health issues earlier this year prevented Johnson from con-tinuing, Seifert was happy to fill her shoes as the communi-ty’s official greeter.

“I really think it’s an excellent community service,” she said. “It really gives you all the informa-tion you need.”

The packages she delivers contains information on the Creston and District Community Complex and the College of the Rockies, the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce’s travel guide and flyers from a variety of non-profit organizations. For each householder Seifert greets, businesses pay $3 per to have their information included.

“The more you can give to people, the better,” she said.

And with her own community involvement, Seifert is able to offer her own perspective to newcomers.

“I’m a very social people per-son,” she said. “I enjoy meeting people and hearing their stories.”

For more information, contact Wendy Seifert at 250-428-7788 or 250-977-5850.

CRESTON VALLEY ROTARY CLUB CITIZEN OF THE YEAR


Town council has approved appointments to the Official Community Plan advisory commit-tee, which will work for the next year to update a document that will provide a guideline for future development.

Representing the Town of Creston will be Couns. Jim Elford and Karen Unruh, municipal ser-vices director Ross Beddoes and town planner Jamai Schile. A pro-posal to appoint Elford as the committee’s chair was deleted at Elford’s request, who said the committee itself should select the chair.

Seven people representing the commu-

nity at large were appointed: Barbara West, Hugh Grant, Jill Phelps, Melissa Flint, Rita Scott, Tanya Symons and Signe Miller.

Council Briefs•Crista Komar appeared before

council to present an overview of the Creston Valley early years team, which includes programs like Success By 6, which is par-tially funded by the Town of Creston.

The team’s mission, Komar said, is “ensuring that resources, spaces and relationships exist within our community that make it possible for children and families to be sup-ported and nurtured during each development stage.

•Council approved the use of Millennium Park for a Blossom Festival teen event on May 15. Teen events and a climbing wall will be featured on the property south of the park.

With the addition of a midway at this year’s festival, council also des-ignated space behind the RCMP station for midway housing units to park from May 11-18.

Two defendants represent-ing themselves in a case out of Bountiful were in Cranbrook Supreme Court on Monday to fix a date for trial.

Brandon Blackmore and Emily Blackmore are facing charges of removal of a child from Canada under Section 273.3 (2) of the Canadian Criminal Code. Oler is facing

three counts, while Blackmore is facing two counts and both are representing themselves.

The two have been ordered to stand trial, but are in the pro-cess of determining weather or not to file a Rowbotham appli-cation, which can be filed for people facing serious and com-plex criminal charges who have been denied legal aid but can-not afford a lawyer.

Oler and Blackmore will be

back in court on May 4 to fix a firm date for trial, tentatively set a year from now.

The charges stem from the investigation of Peter Wilson, a special prosecutor who was appointed to investigate any criminal offences under the polygamy provisions of the criminal code in January 2012.

Wilson approved the charg-es in August 2014 after a two-year investigation.

Blackmores appear in Cranbrook Supreme Court

In recent weeks our community has lost a pair of giants, two men who made their enormous contribu-tions in different ways, both leaving a huge imprint on their families, friends and neighbours.

John Poznikoff and Ralph Moore are already greatly missed.

When we moved to Creston, John Poznikoff became a familiar face. From the raised platform at the rear of Tamblyn’s Drugs, John dispensed more than just prescrip-tions. He and the succession of pharmacists who would work with him over the years, were enor-mously respected for their compas-sion, for going the extra mile for people whom they saw as being more than just customers.

John was among the leaders of the vibrant Canyon Street business community back then. As advertis-ing manager of the Advance I often co-ordinated promotions and special events to keep the downtown lively and busy. John was always one of the first I approached with an idea — if he didn’t like it I could be pret-ty sure it wouldn’t work, and I would go back to the drawing board to come up with a different promo-tion. He was, without fail, honest and thoughtful about everything he did as a businessman.

In later years, we would become fellow Rotarians, and very few members commanded the respect John did. His leadership did not appear in the typical ways. He wasn’t big on the often tedious exec-utive meetings, so being a club director wasn’t his thing. Club presi-dency was something he had no interest in taking on. But when there was a project to be tackled, he was completely reliable, an enthusiastic

leader who was never happier when he had a shovel or hammer in hand.

Mostly, when I think of John, the term role model comes to mind. John Poznikoff was a family man first, and the proof was evi-

dent in his long marriage with Elaine, and as a father and grand-father. Our conversations after he retired inevitably turned to activi-ties involving grandchildren, and eventually to travel, which he and Elaine always enjoyed.

I also met Ralph Moore more than 35 years ago. I have only vague memories of sitting over coffee in the Creston Valley Bakery with him and another man I have long forgot-ten. There was much talk about world conspiracies and the need to protect the Creston Valley from invading hordes when invaders inevitably swarmed in search of a safe haven where clean water and good growing conditions could be found. I don’t remember how the subject came up, or why these fel-lows wanted to share their concerns, but I do remember walking away having come to like Ralph very much. He was very smart, had a great smile and a wicked sense of humour.

I soon learned of his reputation as something of a madman hiker and

climber and I made an early deter-mination never to go out hiking with him. It is a decision that proba-bly extended my life — trying to keep up might have killed me!

Ralph was what I would describe as the ultimate environ-mentalist. He didn’t just talk the talk. He set an example in his stewardship of his family’s forest-ed property, cutting trees and run-ning a little sawmill in a sustain-able way long before we even used the word sustainable in regular conversation.

In recent years, our conversa-tions inevitably started with Ralph commenting about getting old. The complaints were made with that familiar gleam in his eyes, and with the springy steps that carried him wherever he wanted to go it was hard to imagine that age was doing much to slow him down. If there was anyone I have ever met who I might have thought about as indestructible, it would have been Ralph. So when we learned about his accident, horrific as the fall must have been, I continued to believe that his great physical fitness and indomi-table spirit would help him to not only survive, but to bounce back. I still feel a sense of denial when I think about his passing.

John Poznikoff and Ralph Moore were men who made a difference in whatever they did. They led by set-ting examples for others to follow, not by preaching about what others should do. I am a better person for having known them, and a sadder one when I think about the loss our community has suffered.

To the Editor:One hundred-eighty flammable

tanker railcars recently passed through Yahk, 100 metres away from the Yahk Elementary School, community hall, two gas stations , a three-tank commer-cial propane storage station, post office, homes and the Moyie River. Highway 3/95 is an economically busy interna-tional highway with three bridges that bottleneck the Yahk townsite. A weigh scale, additional gas station and high-way junction are just south of the Curzon bridge. Almost every night, I hear at least two long trains rumble through Yahk. There have already been two significant train derailments in Yahk, one involving a propane rail tanker. I feel terrorized by the potential industrial accident poised to happen.

For example, 120 Gainford, Alta., residents were evacuated for four days in October 2013 at 1 a.m. when 13 Canadian National Railway Co. (CN) cars, four carrying crude oil and nine carrying 130,000 litres of liquid petro-leum gas, derailed on a siding due to internal cracks in the rail track, unde-tected by four rail ultrasound examina-tions. Two tankers caught fire and exploded in a fireball that spread across Highway 16.

An accident like this in Yahk would have much worse consequences. Our volunteer emergency response team is highly organized and co-ordinated, but it appears that the Harper Conservative government is enabling bottom-line corporate profit by endangering the taxpaying public by neglecting rail safety and depending on volunteers for accident response. CN says its revenues reached a record $3.12 billion in 2014. With that profit margin, there shouldn’t be any rail track fatigue accidents. There should be plenty for money to

reinstall and pay safety inspectors to prevent fatigued people-caused rail accidents like the incineration of 47 people in the Lac-Mégantic derailment.

The Harper Conservative govern-ment is determined to pass Bill C-51, which would label me as a terrorist for speaking up about my safety concerns for Yahk, and by my criticizing the high-profit industrial economy for its lack of respect and concern for we citizens of Canada. I am a responsible adult, not a terrorist, and I am asking, “What is the supposedly family-friendly Harper Conservative Government doing to ensure the safety of the residents of Yahk, or of any community living along a hazardous rail transport route?”

To the Editor:As some of you dog owners know,

I’ve been trying to find an alternative solution so that small dogs have a place to play separate from the big dogs, the reason being that the big dogs like to run and play together at the dog park and often the little dogs get bowled over by them because of their size and weight. Also, many small dogs are quite frightened by big dogs and don’t want to enter the dog park when they’re in there.

So I have come up with a possible solution so that the big dogs and the small dogs can both utilize the dog park. What if the dog park accommodated the small dogs by allowing them to have their own separate time from 8-11 a.m.? I’ve been told by many people that the big dogs generally show up around 11 a.m. anyway. That way, big dog owners who want to run their dogs before work can do so before 8 a.m. and then they have the rest of the day from 11 on.

This seems like a fair compromise to allow the small dogs a place to play together and not have to worry about any big dogs showing up. And still, if some small dogs do well in with the big dogs, they have that option.

If you feel this is a good, fair solu-tion for our dogs, please contact the mayor and council members and give them your opinion on this issue.

Dear Editor,I was enjoying a recent sunny after-

noon driving my horse and cart near Canyon Park. Suddenly, two young fel-lows on very loud motorbikes appeared behind me. My horse was getting antsy and I didn’t even have a moment to signal the bikers to slow down or back off when they flew by me going way too fast. My horse was spooked and jumped into a gallop, then starting bucking, as well. She is well trained and used to regular traffic and has never done this before.

That is the nature of a horse; they are flight animals and as such are unpredictable. When scared, they will run. I was very lucky that I was able to get her under control before we had a wreck. The road is narrow and the ditches are deep. There was no place to get off the road in time.

I have as much right to be on the roads and enjoy my sport as bikers do. Please, please, if you ride a motorbike and you see horses on the roads, either ridden or driven, show some respect and common sense. Slow down or stop and give the rider/driver a chance to move to a safe place before you go by.

In his essay, “Mountains and Rivers Sutra”, 13th century Zen master Eihei Dogen, a says, “Because mountains and waters have been active since before the empty eon they are alive at this moment.”

We now know that mountains and rivers are ancient. They have been on Earth since long before there were human beings, plants and animals. They go back many millions of years. When we are in the mountains or on the ocean, we sense that we are com-muning with an ancestral form of existence. Dogen is saying all that, and something more. He’s saying that even before there was a universe, even before anything at all existed, these mountains and rivers were alive.

So what does he mean by that? How could that be? This goes back to

a basic feeling that is at the heart of Asian cosmology. Contemporary cos-mologists are now coming to the same conclusion — that is, the idea that there is no beginning, that the idea of a beginning is a projection of a binary human mind, that the origin of the universe is more mysterious than any-thing our conceptual frameworks could possibly imagine.

When Dogen uses the phrase “empty eon” he is referring to Buddhist cosmol-ogy, where there are eons that succeed each other, one of which is an empty eon, a time when it appears that there is nothing. But even though it might appear that in a given eon that there is nothing, there is this vital energy of movement, of impermanence. Impermanence is the only thing that is not impermanent. Impermanence is constant, as Dogen says, even when there is nothing.

I’m talking as if I know, but I don’t know; I can’t possibly know. All my thoughts feelings, metaphors and ideas about impermanence are incor-rect. Whatever I say is misleading. The whole idea of a beginning implies that there is an ending that is prior to beginning. But what’s before that? Another beginning? And before that? Yet another beginning? It doesn’t make sense.

But it does make sense that there is only movement and that we exist here, now, in this moment, because that movement has never ceased. So in some way we have always been here and will always be. We might lose our body; we will lose our body and the perceptions that depend on it. We will lose our sense of identity and memory, and a coherent sense of identity that depends on this body. But we won’t lose the essential person that we are or the vital energy that we are made of. That part of us has always been and will always be.

Suggested practice: Try thinking about mountains and rivers as your-self, and notice how everything becomes quite personal. What if you no longer identified with your body, your ideas, beliefs, possessions, nationality, gender or family? What if, instead, you identified with this ongo-ingness of living and dying? Think about this deeply. What would it mean to your daily life?

Different way to think about age

Laying aside essentials — like water, nourishment, shelter and a place to live — wildlife, both plant and animal, under go major chang-es this time of year. Many of these changes are specific to adjustment from winter activities to summer

activities. That is partly what spring is all about. Many of the changes are connected to and triggered by the increased amount of daylight and by the increased number of days with overnight temperatures above freezing and by average day-time temperatures. In some ways,

the same goes for humans; howev-er, humans spend more time in temperatures above freezing and in increased light by living in artificial habitats, homes, which, for the most part, are equipped to provide heat and light. Animals have physical

and behavioural features that help them to survive the win-ter and summer seasons. For many, springtime is the switch time from winter to summer.

Over the past few weeks, I have seen several varying hares scampering out of sight at my approach. At first some of them appeared to be still mostly white. And then I could see that some were turning

brown, their summer coat, while still having large patches of white, appearing similar to a calico cat, only without the black and orange. Then one of the later sightings appeared to be a grayish white.

Daniel was a man of prayer. His prayers can teach us who live in

this chaotic and dangerous world!

Daniel did at least six things in his prayers that deserve our attention:

•he prayed very much in earnest;•he depended on God’s righ-

teousness, not his own;•he used the Bible;•he confessed his own sins and

the sins of his group;•he sought God’s glory and His

sanctuary; and•he claimed God’s promises.Effective prayer involves both

words and attitude!In harmony with the customs

of his day, Daniel emphasized his deep longing with words and actions. He fasted and wore sack-cloth — worn in times of deep sorrow or spiritual agitation. It expressed his heartfelt humility.

Nothing indicates that Daniel was trying to earn brownie points by his actions. He did not call God’s attention to himself, he said, “We do not ask because we deserve help, but because you are so merciful.” (Daniel 9:18)

James 5:16 says, “The prayer of a righteous man availeth much,” but Paul reminds us in Romans 3:10 “that there is none righteous, no, not one!” So what are we to do? Do what Daniel did!

Come to God just as we are. It is the only way we can come. We are all sinners. Confess your sins and ask God to hear on the grounds of His righteousness and mercy. Jesus

invites us to come in His name at John 14:13, 14.

Daniel used the Bible in his prayer. His words show that he had an intimate knowl-edge of God’s word.

L e v i t i c u s 26:40-42 says, “But at last my people will con-fess their sins. … Finally, … their d i s o b e d i e n t hearts will be humbled. … Then I will remember my covenant with Jacob, with Isaac,

and with Abraham, and I will remember the land.”

And Daniel prayed at Daniel 9:6-11 “We have refused to listen to your servants the prophets, who spoke your messages to … all the people of the land. ‘Lord, you are in the right; but our faces are covered with shame, just as you see us now. This is true of us all, including the people of Judah and Jerusalem and all Israel. O Lord, we and our kings, princes and ances-tors are covered with shame because we have sinned against you. But the Lord our God is merciful and forgiv-ing, even though we have rebelled against him. We have not obeyed the Lord our God, for we have not fol-lowed the laws he gave us through his servants the prophets. All … dis-obeyed your law and turned away, refusing to listen to your voice.’ ”

Daniel identified with his people while praying. He was not like many today who blame others for troubles.

Our prayer should be “O Lord, hear. O Lord, forgive. O Lord, listen and act! For your own sake, O my God, do not delay, for your people!”

O God, bring in a new day soon. Let your church, your people, be changed into your likeness. Make us clean, generous, forgiving and kind. May we bring glory to you.

Daniel was God’s man; we can be too, if we but seek and obey God daily.

At some point in life, most people end up moving to a new house or home. It could be as simple as moving across town or perhaps a move across borders. Spring rolls around and the new

homeowners inevitably have a few surprises. Out in the yard or garden, these sur-prises can often be very pleasant!

Maybe it is an antique pulled out of a garage mezza-nine. Or perhaps some new garden treasures like a patch of cheery spring bulbs pop-ping up in the front yard. It could even be an inconspicu-ous plum tree hiding in plain sight in the backyard until one day, “Hey, where did that come from?”

If you are like me, the little surprises are always welcome, even if they have to be moved to a better location. New yards present new opportunities. Surprise plant material can

usually always be identified with a little investigation. Sometimes the new neigh-bours will know the answer if you’re not sure.

In the case of heritage apple trees, pinpointing the exact

variety may be a lit-tle more difficult. Perhaps the experts at the UBC Apple Festival may be required. In most cases, trees and shrubs can be iden-tified using a small piece of the plant; a terminal twig end with buds will tell the story. Arborists

can use the dormant season buds for identification.

Are the buds growing off the tree branch in opposite fashion or are they alternating along the stem? Are the buds growing singularly or are they in clusters? What colour are they? What size are they? Is the bark smooth or grainy or hairy? These are the kinds of questions one has to ask in order to differentiate amongst the plant material.

The most common tree people bring in for me to identify is a piece of Manitoba maple. Another name is the box elder tree. They have maple-like bark and buds, too. Their leaf isn't like your common maple leaves,

though. It is made up of a few pieces of leaf put togeth-er. At this time of year the trees are in flower and these hang off the tree branches, producing lots of pollen for the bees. Later on, this is seed, so they spread by wind. Hence, the surprise factor.

Another surprise of these maples is that they have their own kind of bugs, box elder bugs. Red marks on their black beetle-like backs are a dead giveaway. They’re fair-ly harmless in that they eat the maple seeds; however, they like to congregate in warm places like the porch of an older house for winter. The most distinctive charac-teristic of these trees is the bluish powder or “bloom” that they have covering their new twiggy growth. Many plants have this sort of natu-ral sunscreen. It rubs off with your thumb.

If you are looking to iden-tify shrubbery note the loca-tion and the size of the plants in question. Any idea of the leaf and flower colour helps too. Plant material from Canadian hardiness zones 2-6 will grow nicely here in the valley so there are a lot of possibilities.

Happy gardening!Evan Davies owns Beltane

Creston & District Community ComplexZamboni

Sponsorship OpportunityA couple of days ago, one,

roaming at the edge of the forest within a few feet of me, appeared to be mostly brown except for a white hip and, still, white ears except for a tint of brown.

My company settled down, in typical hare resting fashion, with its rump against the base of a stump and spent the rest of the day there. The whitish ears were much less conspicuous flattened on the back of the head. Needless to say, if I hadn’t known it was there, it would have been hard to spot and I would likely have walked by it a hundred times and not noticed it. If things go well, its coat will change to white next fall.

Last fall, when the tempera-tures dropped below freezing at night and daylight hours decreased, leaves fell from the trees. Between the twig and the leaf stem, a wall developed, cut-ting off the to and from flow of nutrients and moisture, leaving the leaf to die. But now, with reverse of temperature and length of day, that wall has become porous, permitting essential fluids to flow into the dormant buds. With this life-giving substance, the once dor-mant buds begin to swell. Tips of green begin to show, bursting into a cluster of miniature leaves, a pussy willow flower-to-be and, as with maples and hazelnut shrubs, a cluster of flowers to be followed shortly by delicate green leaves.

Spring is about coming to life, a change from dormancy to activity for the plant and ani-mal world.

Many people who choose not to migrate for the winter have said they like the north for its distinct seasons. They like

SpringFROM PAGE 8

the diversity and variety that a four-season year provides.

In spite of some recent cool nights, there have been a few days when some larger butter-flies have ventured about in the sunny spots of our landscape. There are a few very small but-terflies that may frequent your path. Most of them overwintered as a chrysalis, a winter “suit-case”, and have recently hatched, emerging out of the chrysalis. These little ones are mostly spring azure and elfin butterflies.

However the larger ones spent the winter as adults that had emerged late last summer and found a sheltered cranny for the time of snow and frost. So what we have been seeing in April are larger butterflies belonging to a group with simi-lar habits and structure, made up of mourning cloaks, several spe-cies of angle-wings and Milbert’s and Compton tortoiseshell but-terflies. One place you might find them is in a sunny, sheltered spot where there are some rotten apples on the ground or broken twigs of maple and birch. They are attracted to the nutritious moisture in the rotten apples and

sap oozing from broken twigs. They will soon breed and one or two summer broods will follow.

The larger butterflies hatch-ing from winter chrysalises will soon be seen in numbers. In fact, I just saw the first anise or mountain swallowtail butter-flies flying in an upland clear-ing where wild parsleys, the favorite food of their larvae, are already blooming.

Now, it is possible that you may locate the favorite haunts of the mountain swallow in the rocky openings on the upper part of the Lady’s Slipper Trail. Just imagine: This black and yellow creature, which you may see resting on a plant with wings outstretched or flying zigzaggedly around the open-ings near the top of the Lady’s Slipper Trail, spent the whole winter encased and compacted in a chrysalis secreted away among the rocks and dormant plants. Find more stories along this trail or visit this column next time around.

Fans of Richard Wagner will have an opportunity to enjoy one of his composi-tions free of charge at the Creston Valley Public Library at 7 p.m. April 25. The Ring will be shown in German with English sub-titles, a Metropolitan Opera production with James Levine conducting.

Characters in this three-act opera include the chief of gods, a couple of giants, a dwarf, a dragon and men and women. The god and the dwarf vie for control of the world and a complex story evolves. Twins who have been separated at birth become reunited as adults. They experience that special unifying chemis-try peculiar to twins, portrayed by Gary Lakes and Jessye Norman.

Other singers include Kurt Moll, James Morris, Hildegard Behrens and Christa Ludwig.

VERNON CADETTRAINING CENTRE

Army Cadet Brody Main-ville, a member of Creston’s 1746 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps, spent a week at Vernon Cadet Training Centre during spring break improving his drumming skills under the guid-ance of professional Cadet Instructor Cadre instructor Lt. Megan McConnell of Invermere.

After a week of daily indi-vidual and group practice, the military band and the pipes and drums students performed a concert in the centre’s dining hall for the 100 other cadets and officers who were attending other courses during the week.

The cadet program is a nation-al program for young Canadians aged 12-18 who are interested in participating in a variety of fun, challenging and rewarding activi-ties while learning about the sea, army and air activities of the Canadian Armed Forces. Cadets make valuable contributions to Canadian society on a daily basis in terms of environmental, citi-zenship and community activi-ties. Cadets also learn valuable life and work skills such as team-work, leadership and citizenship.

Grow your own summer salad

(NC) The only thing better than a homemade meal is a homegrown meal – and creating fresh and delicious salads using vegetables, fruits, and herbs grown in your own backyard is about as fresh as it gets when it comes to summer dining.

“Self-contained salad bowls are a great way to start growing your own produce,” says Peter Cantley, gardening expert for the President’s Choice brand. “They’re very low maintenance because they grow right in the container so there’s no need to replant them or worry about them having enough room to grow.”

If you’ve never tasted kale raw in a salad, try this recipe, says Cantley, using the PC Kale Bowl. The fruit-and-nut combo is perfect for summer while the balsamic condiment, pine nuts and pecorino give it a wonderful Italian flavour. The recipe easily doubles for a crowd, perfect for your next backyard barbecue.

Fresh and Crispy Kale Salad

Ingredients:• ¼ cup (50 ml) extra virgin olive oil• ¼ cup (50 ml) Balsamic Vinegar• 1 tsp (5 ml) 100% pure maple syrup• Pinch of salt• Pinch of freshly ground black pepper• 1 bunch kale, coarse stems removed• ¼ cup (50 ml) toasted pine nutsor pumpkin seeds• ¼ cup (50 ml) dried currants• 1 tbsp (15 ml) grated lemon rind• ¼ cup (50 ml) shaved strong white cheese

Instructions:1. In a small bowl, whisk together oil, condiment, syrup, salt and pepper.2. Slice kale into ½-inch (1 cm) wide strips; place in medium bowl. Add dressing; massage into kale leaves until well coated. Let stand for 10 minutes.3. Add pine nuts or pumpkin seeds and currants, tossing to coat. Garnish with grated lemon rind and white cheese. www.newscanada.com

What is your patio-party personality?(NC) Long, sunny, summer days and warm sultry nights are why Canadians love

their patios. It is the perfect place for a casual get together with family or an elegant evening with friends. Even better, it is also easy to create a perfect patio-party space, one that reflects your personality as well as the way you want to entertain.

Begin by considering how you want to spend your outdoor patio time. Do you like cooking there, entertaining, or simply kicking back? Then pick one of the top three trends to build your personalized patio-party:

1. Transitional. If you mix up your al fresco fun with casual and more formal enter-taining, then patio sets that combine traditional and contemporary accents to create a modern and versatile feel are the perfect choice. Transitional sets come in a variety of materials including aluminum, fabric, and wood. Hot this year is aluminum, with a no-rusting guarantee for those who like to leave furniture outdoors for the season. When it comes to fabrics, look for materials that can easily be washed and are able to withstand the wear and tear of summer weather.

2. Over-sized. Is your favourite seat in the house a big comfy overstuffed chair? Then you will love this season’s over-sized patio sets. Comfy and classic pieces, including large couches, deep seating and bistro sets are a popular buy. For bigger yards, large sets that encourage conversation and lounging are perfect for long summer days that last into the night. Traditional, more formal dining sets are easing into more plush patio sets. Cushions in on-trend geometric patterns or stripes are a great way to accessorize to give

your patio more personality. For smaller spaces, oversized bistro sets can be easily moved around to accommodate your space and storage options.

3. Customizable. Your patio is an extension of your home – and it’s easy, says Sears Canada, to customize your patio to match your lifestyle. Mix and match a wide variety of colours and patterns with multiple sectionals to create your special summer space.

With your perfect patio in place, just kick back in the sunshine and let the lemonade flow.

Top 5 tips for the perfect steak

(NC) Nothing says summer like the smell of sweet-smoky barbecue. But how do you know if you’re grilling your meats to perfection? As with anything, a bit of practice goes a long way. Follow these top tips for the perfect steak and you’ll be a grill master in no time:

1. Start with room temperature steaks. It’s common for people to take their steaks directly from the cold fridge to the hot fire. Pull the steaks out of the fridge about 30 minutes before you plan to cook them. This will allow the steaks to come to room temperature and will set you up for success to cook the steaks evenly.

2. Clean and oil the grill. Start with a clean barbecue and brush it with vegetable oil before heating the grill. Taking the time to brush off old food will be worth it when your steaks release from the cooking surface with ease.

3. Heat the grill. Give it plenty of time to preheat. You’ll know when you can’t hold your hand over the grill for more than a few seconds that it is hot enough.

4. Touch the steaks. A good method to check doneness is using a simple tool – your hands. A rare steak feels spongy and soft, medium springs back a bit when pressed, and well-done feels firm. Practice poking your meat to learn the difference.

5. Let the meat rest. The secret to a juicy steak is letting it rest for five to 10 minutes before you serve or cut it. This gives the juices a chance to settle back into meat, which helps it finish cooking evenly and keeps the steak moist and flavourful.

Ralph Moore

Ralph was born on June 12, 1945 in Kimberley BC. The family was living in Mud Creek in the Columbia Valley. Deanna of Kamloops and Jacqueline of Creston are his sisters.It is no surprise that Ralph had such a love of the mountains, growing up between the Purcells and the Rockies. His father, Jack took his young son with him on countless wilderness hikes. With the bond forged between the two on these trips, Ralph thrived as a force of nature, unequaled in his knowledge and familiarity with all things Mountain. He shared with hundreds of people over the years his passion for the wild, knowing that protection begins with appreciation.Ralph’s abiding joy in the natural world was also nurtured by his mother, Margaret, a fi ne artist who awakened many to beauty with her work and daily life. Ralph was able to communicate so much of that essence with his photography. Supporting Ralph in his continued activism for protecting planet Earth, was his wife of 27 years, Sam. They were married at their home on the hill with their son Ryder, then four, in attendance. Ralph was very proud of his son, as he grew into a fi ne young man. Sam’s dear older son, Adrian, has always been closely tied to Ralph, and provided him with a granddaughter whom he adored, Natasha. Sister Jackie’s son, Devon, enjoyed a close relationship with his unique uncle.Together Ralph and Sam created a lifestyle built on sustainability, integrity, generosity, and “small footprints”. They shared a deep love of learning, gardening, social/political awareness, family and community, and their own paradise on Goat Mountain.The initiatives that Ralph has been involved with over the years are too many to name. He was especially pleased with the opportunity to protect the forests on Goat Mountain by establishing a Woodlot. He was proud of the work of the local Community Forest Corporation. He was a founding member of the environmental group that eventually became Wildsight. He donated hours of his life to assisting individuals and groups in whatever ways he could.Ralph’s passing has left a great void, in his family and in his community. He would wish that this void be fi lled by individual initiative towards conservation and a deepening commitment to preserving the balance of nature.Ralph leaves his wife Sam, son Ryder, step-son Adrian and grand-daughter Natasha; his adoring sisters Deanna and Jackie; their husbands Francis and Clements; his last remaining aunt Lois Ford; his admiring nephews and nieces Judy, Laurie, Joyce, Michael, and Devon; many wonderful cousins; and a large group of friends who are the fi nest in the world.

There will be a Celebration of Life at a later date.

Ralph Moore passed awayon April 16, 2015 as a result

of an accident. The world has been made a poorer place

with the loss.

OBITUARYMargaret Beth Kraft (nee Perry)

August 27, 1924-April 9, 2015Margaret Beth Kraft (nee Perry) died peacefully at the age of 90 at Jubilee Manor in Nelson, BC on April 9, 2015.She was born August 27, 1924, at the family farm near Lewvan, Saskatchewan. She recalled her life on the farm with her parents and seven siblings as a very busy and happy time despite the challenges of the depres-sion and years of drought.Mom enlisted in the Canadian Women's Army Corps at the age of 18 and served her country first in Vermillion, Alberta, then Ottawa, and finally Shilo, Manitoba. It was in Shilo that she met her soon-to-be husband, Dave Kraft, a dashing young paratrooper who would occa-sionally jump out of airplanes in fright (sic).Dave remained in the army after the war and he and Beth raised their children Perry (Elly Opdenkelder), Brenda (Al Craft), and Candace (George Stuckert) while enjoying postings in Manitoba, Ontario, New Brunswick and Alberta.When they retired, Beth and Dave spent a summer traveling through British Columbia searching for the ideal place to begin the next phase of their lives. They chose to settle in Creston, BC. It was surrounded by mountains which Dave loved but also had a wide, open valley to remind Beth of the prairies. Dave got a job with the BC Forest Service and began a second career as a lookout man on Thompson mountain and then later in the field of silviculture. Beth was always busy tending a large garden in the summer and taking care of their fruit trees. Camping with their children and grandchildren was always a favourite activity. Both Beth and Dave were delighted with their eight grandchildren: Dorian (Amy), Ryan (Kendra), Tom, Katie (Dean), Johann, Da-vid (Cari), Luke and Adam. It was Beth's dream to have a great-grandchild and her only grand-daughter, Katie, blessed her with a great-grandson, Conrad, in 2012.Beth and Dave were married 59 years when Dad passed away in 2006 at the age of 84. May they rest in peace together as content as they lived in life.Our family would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to the staff and residents of Jubilee Manor where Mom spent her final years. Their care and sup-port was exceptional in every way.

In Memory ofAlbertine Aasen

Dearly Missed by all her Family and Friends.

You were always true and patient,Through the years you struggled on,And those hands that rest for ever,Made the home that now is gone.

Friends may think that we forget herWhen at times we’re apt to smile,But they little know the heartache

That hides ‘neath the surface all the while.“Too dearly loved to be forgotten.”

BY TOM FLETCHERBlack Press

The B.C. government has killed 11 wolves in the South Selkirk Mountains and another 73 in the South Peace region in the first year of a five-year plan to pro-tect dwindling caribou herds.

The South Selkirk program left seven to 10 wolves alive because they were not targeting caribou, and their movements continue to be tracked. That mountain caribou herd is down to 14, compared to 18 last year and 46 in 2009.

The South Peace herds have also seen significant losses from wolves, with 37 per cent of adult mortalities confirmed as wolf kills. Four herds in the region, the Quintette, Moberly, Scott and Kennedy-Siding, were targeted in the wolf removal program.

The 700-member Graham herd, the largest in the South Peace, is being left without protection as a control group.

The program to shoot wolves from the air was a last resort after targeted hunting and trapping of wolves proved inadequate, sometimes splitting up wolf packs and increasing predation of caribou.

The South Selkirk herd has been sub-ject to intensive protection efforts on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border. In 2007 the province banned logging and roadbuilding in its 2.2 million-hectare B.C. range and restricted off-road recre-ation to reduce human disturbance.

In the Peace region, restrictions were approved in 2012 to protect 498,000 hect-ares of high elevation winter range.

The modern program began in 2003, after decades of managed hunting and other wolf control measures.

For the first part of the 20th century, B.C. offered a bounty on wolves that ended in 1955. Beginning in 1950, baits laced with poison were used in bait sta-tions and later dropped onto frozen lakes

Wolf cull ends for this year with 84 killed

and rivers, which killed other species as well as wolves.

Large-scale poisoning in wilderness

areas was suspended in 1960, but tar-geted baiting to protect livestock contin-ued until 1999.

Gerry Kuzyk/B.C. GovernmentThe B.C. government has completed the first season of a five-year targeted cull of grey wolf populations.

CRESTON VALLEY ROD AND GUN CLUB

For decades, the Creston Valley Rod and Gun Club’s wild game banquet has been a highlight of the winter season in Creston. This year was no exception with a sold-out crowd of 200 adults and nearly 50 youngsters enjoying a wide variety of game meats, draws for firearms and other neat stuff, and, of course, the awards presentations.

As usual, the evening commenced with the tro-phy awards presentations, which recognize mem-bers who have harvested a game animal or caught a fish that is a worthy representative of its species. These awards are divided into senior and junior categories. The club was proud to promote youth participation in outdoor activities by recognizing Abbey Prier as junior hunter of the year and Timmy Faulks as junior fisherman of the year.

The awards were followed by a wonderful banquet at which everyone tried the full range of “free-range” organic game meats, including mule deer, white-tail deer, elk, moose and cou-gar. Other offerings of rabbit, pheasant, turkey and salmon kept people coming back for sec-onds. This year’s exotic meat, alligator, was served as a delicious appetizer.

The meal was followed by recognizing two members as sportsmen of the year, Mark Halonen and Walter Morse, who completed an archery range at the club’s Mawson Lake property. This award is presented to a member who has made an outstanding contribution in the past year.

Occasionally, the club recognizes a member who has provided long and valuable service to our orga-nization by installing them as life members. This year, the great team of Brian and Wendy Lansing were presented with life membership cards.

Before and after the banquet, the crowd enjoyed vying for numerous valuable prizes in a variety of fun ways — bucket draws, card draws, a guessing game and silent auction. Scores of prizes went out the door, including several fire-arms. The club very much appreciates the support shown by the local business community in pro-viding donations and discounts for these prizes. The banquet is a celebration of the outdoors and also a fundraiser that enables the club to maintain the Kidd Creek Rifle Range and Mawson Lake, host activities related to hunting and fishing, sup-port youth involvement in the outdoors, and fund conservation and habitat projects.

Finally, many stayed to dance to an excellent DJ service provided by Vern Gorham.

Special appreciation goes to banquet chair Traven Huscroft, who co-ordinated everything, and to Tanya Wall, who did a fabulous job as announcer, and also to all the members of the banquet and trophy committees who helped make this a success.
