Creston town council voted Jan. 12 to change its meeting times to accommodate Coun. Kevin Boehmer, who topped the polls in the 2014 municipal election.

Boehmer told council that he had accepted a teaching position

(he is an accountant) in Cranbrook at the College of the Rockies, which limits his ability to carry on with some of his duties as a Creston councillor.

“This isn’t something I went looking for,” he said. “The job basi-cally came to me.”

Boehmer now teaches from Tuesday through Friday, but has no

intention of relocating.“We won’t be moving,” he said.

“My wife and kids love it here and I will be commuting.”

Boehmer ’s new employer accommodated his work as a town councillor, working out a schedule that sees his duties end at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, which allows him to get back to Creston

for the regular 4 p.m. public coun-cil meeting.

At the suggestion of Coun. Karen Unruh, council voted to move the meeting back to 4:30 p.m. And scheduled closed meetings will now be held after the public meet-ing, not before.

BY LORNE ECKERSLEYAdvance Staff

Wildlife artist Guy Hobbs has once again had a painting selected by Ducks Unlimited Canada as part of its National Art Portfolio program.

Bath Interrupted, a closeup of a grizzly bear, was one of 12 pieces of art selected this year from among more than 1,000 submissions.

“DU has been nothing but good to me,” said Hobbs, who works out his home studio on Fox Tree Hill. “They are great people to work with and have a great pro-gram for artists.

He is a self-taught artist who has only been making his paint-ings/drawings (he has developed his own process to portray wild-life with photo-like detail) for five years. The Ducks Unlimited selec-tion is only the latest accolade as Hobbs’ reputation grows.

“The DU connection helps with the challenge of getting my name out nationally,” he said. “My mar-ket is more geared toward wildlife enthusiasts than art collectors and this is a great way to reach it.”

Hobbs said he enjoys the soli-tude that painting offers, but the recognition is important, too.

“It’s good for the ego,” he laughed. “And I have to thank Ducks Unlimited art buyers for that.”

Born and raised in the United Kingdom, Hobbs’ passion for art and wildlife started early, during long childhood walks with his par-ents. As a young man he worked at a safari lodge in the Kafue River Reserve in Zambia, which teems with some of Africa’s most spectac-ular wildlife.

With encouragement from his wife, Kerry, he moved away from graphic design and illustration to take up wildlife painting after the couple moved to Creston. A large variety of birds, as well as deer,

all things Africa and African wildlife. I spent six months with him in Zambia.”

Hobbs continues to describe himself as a newcomer the art scene, and says that it has taken time to redefine his self-image.

“The Ducks Unlimited and

BC Wildlife awards gave me external validation, permis-sion to see myself as an art-ist,” he said.

There is no room for com-placency in his art, though.

“Sometimes you have to take risks,” he said. “I had more

Ducks Unlimited selects wildlife painter’s work

bears, coyotes and mountain lions, share his “backyard”, and he finds inspiration (and photo-graphic references) locally and in his travels.

By combining the use of acrylic paints, coloured pencils and transparent acrylic inks, Hobbs has a remarkable ability to create life-like paintings, accurate depic-tions that make his subjects look like individual beings, and not simply representatives of their species.

“To do a job that makes people smile is awesome,” he said. “It’s a nice way to earn a living — so dif-ferent from my past job.”

Not that financial success has mirrored the accolades — he was the BC Wildlife Federation 2014 Artist of the Year — he has earned.

“There is still a long way to go before it pays all the bills,” he said with a smile. “But now peo-ple are starting to find me — that’s what Ducks Unlimited has done for me.”

Bath Interrupted was completed in the spring of 2015. His most recent piece is an African lion — “a tribute to my dad,” the man who spent time with him in Africa.

“It was kind of like making a commission piece, with his spirit watching over me. Dad (an air-plane pilot) was a massive fan of

failures last year than ever, and I have become more willing to push myself. But I am so lucky to have a wife who supports what I do. At the end of day this is a business, not only for fun. So that support is really important to me.”

More of Hobbs’ work can be found on his website, guyhobbs.com.

With the goals of increas-ing patient privacy and flow, and overall efficiency of the space, the first phase of reno-vations to the Creston Valley Hospital’s emergency room began Jan. 14.

With Creston’s T.A. Rendek and Associates Ltd. as contrac-tor, a new triage and registra-tion room, renovated central nursing station and redevel-oped fast-track area for minor treatment.

“As our numbers have increased in the emergency department, we’ve realized that our space, though big, is not efficient,” site manager Carolyn Hawton said last week. “Our ultimate hope is that it will decrease wait times in the ER. There will be more care areas for them to be seen.”

Currently, patients triaged at a score of 4 or 5 can wait two to four hours to be seen. During the renovation, though, that wait may be lon-

ger, as the existing eight beds will drop to five for the proj-ect’s second phase.

Phase 1 began last week, and will last three or four weeks while ducting and elec-trical work are done.

That phase marks one of the biggest changes in the facility, when public access is severed between the ER and the rest of the hospital. The change will be a permanent one, helping to address pri-vacy and confidentiality by keeping patients out of sight

by the public.Phase 2 will follow and last

14-16 weeks, as the bulk of the structural changes are made. During this time, outside access to the ER will be through the ambulance load-ing doors rather than the main ER entrance.

With only five beds avail-able and wait times temporari-ly increased, patients are being asked to see their own doctors for non-urgent care, although hospital staff are planning to keep the transition as smooth as possible.

“It will be moment by moment,” said Hawton. “It just takes one ambulance to com-pletely change it.”

When the Interior Health Authority announced the ren-ovation project in November, is was expected to total about $650,000, made possible by bequeathals from the estates of Jessie Julia Hopper, Don and Dariel Anne Korczynski, and Blanche Oleskiw, which were held by the East Kootenay Foundation for Health.

COLUMBIA BASINALLIANCE FOR LITERACY

On Jan. 30, the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy’s Creston branch and the Creston Valley Public Library will host an event to raise awareness of the impor-tance engaging in play-based lit-eracy activities as a family.

Play a Story, which starts at 1 p.m. at the library, is an improvi-sational and playful adventure that uses reading and storytelling to act out the classic fairy tale Hansel and Gretel. Using imagina-tion, voices, props and costumes, participants will travel through the forest with two lost children on an exciting journey which leads them back to home. It promises to be fun for the whole family.

Play a Story celebrates Family Literacy Week (Jan. 24-31), an annual campaign that honours family literacy in B.C. Family

Literacy Week builds on ABC Life Literacy Canada’s Family Literacy Day, a national awareness initia-tive created in 1999 and celebrated annually across Canada on Jan. 27.

Literacy is important for all British Columbians, including children and families. Families who engage in play-based literacy activities when children are young see positive effects on both the children and parents/caregivers. Simple activities offer rich oppor-tunities for interaction and learn-ing. These activities help create healthy relationships and help prepare children to enter school.

In addition, Decoda Literacy Solutions (decoda.ca) is celebrating with a provincewide online photo contest (#FLW2016) to encourage people to share family literacy activ-ities. It has also developed free “Let’s Play Together!” activity sheets for families and programs that work with young children.

Kindergarten coming to Nelson’s Wildflower

BY WILL JOHNSONNelson Star

The School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) board unani-mously voted Jan. 12 to intro-duce kindergarten at Nelson’s Wildflower school, and an unsually large crowd of par-ents, teachers, administrators and even students was there to hear the news.

“Wildflower started around a kitchen table,” teacher Barbara Hargreaves told the meeting, going through the history of the program for trustees along with principal Naomi Ross.

Started in 2000, Wildflower became part of the district in 2002, and has expanded since. An alternative school with a multi-age classroom environ-ment, Hargreaves said Wildflower’s mission is to “educate the whole child.”

“Our multi-age learning envi-ronment is one of support, safety, trust, respect and compassion,” Ross said. “For us, social respon-sibility goals are just as impor-tant as academic goals.”

Currently the classroom based at Central School sup-ports students ages six to 12, but under their new system that group would be split in half. One class would consist of kindergarten, Grade 1 and potentially Grade 2 students, while the older kids would be in a cohort from Grades 2 through 6.

Ross said they’re particular-ly proud of their community garden, and projects they’ve tackled such as the recent picto-graph-themed mural they cre-ated in collaboration with the Sinixt First Nation and local artist Amber Santos.

“Every school in SD8 offers kindergarten except Wildflower,” said Hargreaves. “We welcome change and we do evolve and think it’s time for a change. Why now? We feel like we have the support.”

Ross told the board she’s looked at projections and at the families currently involved at Wildflower, and she’s confi-dent they’ll have no problem

routinely filling the class. Introducing kindergarten would only require one addi-tional classroom space.

Supt. Jeff Jones noted Creston’s Wildflower school won’t be getting a kindergarten because their population can’t sustain one.

Board chair Lenora Trenaman asked about Grade 2s in the school, and Ross said they’re going to decide case by case which students end up where. They plan to keep class numbers below 22, and the cap is 24.

“I think Wildflower does an excellent job,” trustee Curtis Bendig said. “Obviously there’s strong support here.”

oPiNioN LiNe

“I am not now, nor have I ever been, a member of the communist party.” We watched the movie Trumbo this week and the phrase is fresh on my mind.

I was born in the McCarthy era, in 1954. The Korean War had just ended and the Cold War was beginning to heat up. I recall my conservative father commenting at dinner that if Richard Nixon won the American presidency we could end up in another world war (John F. Kennedy won by a narrow mar-gin), and I have vague memories of the Cuban missile crisis. In the 1960s my interest in politics was tweaked, as much by American news than by Canadian issues. In high school the name Dalton Trumbo became familiar because we studied Johnny Got His Gun in English class.

Our studies did not refer to, as best as I can recall, Trumbo’s suc-cess as a writer of screenplays or his status as one of the Hollywood Ten, or Billy’s Blacklist. Or that he spent nearly a year in jail for being found in contempt of Congress for his unwillingness to kowtow to HUAC, the House Un-American Activities Committee, which made Senator Joe McCarthy a household name and Trumbo an anathema in the film business.

Trumbo, the movie, is more than just a terrific film featuring the remarkable actor Bryan Cranston (of Breaking Bad fame). It should serve as a cautionary tale in a time that looks more like the 1950s politically than we care to acknowledge. With Donald Trump’s bombastic presidential run focusing on a distrust of for-eigners, primarily Mexicans and

Muslims, and a promise to build walls along U.S. borders, it would do us well to wonder if history is once again repeating itself.

The Iron Curtain seems like a distant memory, the Berlin Wall

having been toppled in the 1980s and Ronald Reagan having been declared winner — game, set and match — over the dreaded com-munists. But Trump and other Republican candidates are seem-ing to find traction in the idea of creating American walls, figura-tive and literal, without instilling a whole lot of fear among a people who should be as tired of living their privileged lives in fear as Canadians showed themselves to be in last year’s federal election.

Dalton Trumbo’s story is fasci-nating. After having some success with Johnny Got His Gun, a bril-liant and disturbing anti-war tale, he went on to become one of Hollywood’s most successful screenwriters. He joined the com-munist party in 1943, believing that isolationism was the answer for the U.S. In 1946, in an article he wrote titled “The Red Menace”, he said that Russians were justi-fied in fearing the expansion of American power.

“If I were a Russian... I would be alarmed, and I would petition my government to take measures at

once against what would seem an almost certain blow aimed at my existence. This is how it must appear in Russia today,” he wrote.

Once the blacklist took hold and Trumbo appeared to be out of business, he began writing under pseudonyms, finding producers who were more interested in mak-ing money than in Cold War poli-tics. He wrote 30 scripts from his home in Mexico City, where he moved his family after serving his jail sentence. Two of his scripts, for The Brave One and Roman Holiday, would go on to win Academy Awards for writing. He received screen credit for neither at the time.

“There are many angry, greedy people in the world and they seem to be breeding in record numbers,” Trumbo says in his namesake movie.

The angry people who com-prised HUAC slowly began to lose their power, if not legitimacy (the committee still existed until 1975, but the angry people now hold the majority in Congress) and Otto Preminger and Kirk Douglas refused to hide Trumbo’s name in the 1960 movies Exodus and Spartacus. (I am sure there must be a master’s thesis somewhere that explores the fact that both those movies end in the letters US. If there isn’t, there should be.)

As the Republican lunatics race down a path that could lead to a new cold war (if we’re lucky) or world war (if we aren’t), Trumbo serves an entertaining and infor-mative warning. If only sufficient numbers are listening, we might have some cause for hope.

To the Editor:A family member from out of prov-

ince, home visiting for the Christmas season, was pulled over by the local RCMP around 10 p.m. Dec. 26. The officer asked the same question repeat-edly, “Have you been drinking?” with the answer each time being no.

The officer proceeded to advise the driver that he had a burned out tail-light and was issuing a ticket — over $200! Whatever happened to the “friendly warning” or giving 24 hours to have it repaired?

My thoughts: An Alberta licence plate? A young man driving? A dead-line looming for his ticket quota?

Shirley ArmstrongCreston

To the Editor:Who’s kidding who? The new stop-

light and all the landscaping that cost millions of dollars has changed nothing in the traffic pattern. It just looks nice. The vehicles still have to turn left or right or go straight through. Nothing has changed except the congestion has now moved up to Vancouver Street and Northwest Boulevard.

I have written twice before on the

problem of the logging trucks, gravel trucks and 50-foot highway haulers that unnecessarily use Canyon Street (Highway 3). An accident is just wait-ing to happen with a truck driver hav-ing a stroke or aneurism, and resulting carnage could be so horrendous that the emergency vehicles, ambulances and police could not get to the scene.

Shame on town hall and the Christy Clark government for the bribe project at Pine Street for a supporting vote in the 2017 provincial election! The imperfection and irresponsibility in our new council is obviously “same old same old.”

Michael BunnCreston

To the editor:Is there a cloud looming on the

“sunny ways” horizon?One could ignore the execution by

another country of a large group of political prisoners as a strictly internal matter, but honouring an unsavoury military contract with said regime gives the appearance of approval of this atrocity. Furthermore, this Canadian-built equipment is for use against civilians in a genocidal project that increases the war crime potential and thus becomes an abhorrent act of complicity.

I am referring to the decision by the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to endorse the previous Conservative government’s agreement of providing military vehicles to Saudi Arabia. Is $15 billion of Dynamics Land Systems of London, Ont., profits and jobs or moral principle? Is Canada real-ly “back” if this deal goes ahead?

Sometimes individuals and coun-tries need to do the right thing, and in my opinion and other voters who chose change over cynicism, this is one of those times. These are armed mili-

tary transports suitable for attacking lightly armed civilians, but not suitable against real soldiers with real weapons. These vehicles are being bought by the Saudi Arabian National Guard to main-tain public order, and not by the Saudi army. (Canada lost many of them to homemade bombs planted by Afghan patriots over a 10-year futile occupa-tion of the victimized country.)

Foreign Minister Stéphane Dion pro-nounced that our reputation as a busi-ness partner would be damaged if we backed out of the deal now, but does not mention the damage done to Canada’s reputation as an ethical state, the Canada that “came back”.

After the tragic judicial assassination by agents of the Saudi royal family of a well-known Shia cleric, Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, and 46 other political prison-ers, these vehicles may be used to con-trol further blow back over these politi-cal executions. Is this what the “new” Canada wants to support?

The Sunni country’s significant Shia minority of about three million of the country’s 27 million souls could be in imminent danger. Should Canada contribute to a religious and cultural genocide for the sake of our corporate sector?

The Saudis are among the principal forces behind the creation of the Islamic State, ISIL. Canadian jets continue pounding ISIL in Syria and Iraq, and now we want to help the Saudis who are helping ISIL? Does it get any crazier?

Saudi Arabia is also provoking conflict with Iran, the predominant Shia power in the region, threatening the recent accord with Iran, and also targeting Shia civilian targets in Yemen, including hospitals.

This sale is no way in Canada’s interest — notwithstanding the short-term business profit. Canada should know better than indulging in a further destabilization quagmire.

And what of the jobs? Why not build snowplows, fire engines and transit vehicles to upgrade our cities? There is much constructive and needed work to be done, besides building more killing machines. What of the bally-hooed infrastructure?

Larry Ewashen Creston

I recently watched a Ted Talk by Simon Sinek, author of Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone To Take Action.

In the talk, Sinek argues that success — whether in business, social move-ments, or any other area of life — depends

not on the products we sell, but on the “why” we do what we do. It starts with a core belief and all of our products and processes flow from that belief.

Apple’s core belief, for example, is that they “challenge the status quo” and “think differently” (according to Sinek). Building high quality computers and devices is just how this belief manifests itself. They could make toasters — and probably most of us would agree that these toasters would be different and special in some way, at least insofar as we buy into Apple’s core belief.

As your librarian, I have to admit that

I spend a lot of my time thinking about library products and processes — how to get the new books out quicker, where to source better computers, evaluating staff-ing competencies and so forth — but when you ask me why the library exists, I need to step back and think about it.

Why does the library exist?To answer this, I needed to look

deeper than the “what” and the “how”, past the books and computers, comfy chairs, story times, book clubs, commu-nity partnerships and great customer service that our patrons have come to expect.

And here is my answer: Information changes lives.

Of course, the library being a com-munity institution, your answer to this question may be different — and no less valid — than mine. I personally hesitate to use the term “information”. If there were a term that incorporated all the elements of the “DIKW pyramid” — data, information, knowledge, wisdom — I would use that instead.

And this “information” (or what-ever) doesn’t just “change” lives. It enhances, improves, amplifies, embroiders, elevates, exalts and raises up our lives.

And it’s not just individual lives either. Our community — which is made up of individuals yet seems to me

to be more than just the sum of its parts — is changed.

To put it another way, this living, breathing organism called Creston or Creston and district (or Creston Valley or the Town of Creston plus Regional District of Central Kootenay Areas A, B and C) is elevated/improved/amplified as a result of the fact that all of its members regardless of age, gen-der, background or income level have shared access to stories that impart the wisdom of our species, resources con-taining information on health, garden-ing, spirituality and every other sub-ject under the sun, programs designed to assist people in accessing all of this richness, meeting spaces for local citi-zens to share their own knowledge with their fellow citizens, and a warm, comfy place to sit down and enjoy it all to boot.

Perhaps my original formulation will suffice: Information changes lives. That’s what we’re about.

I would love to hear your thoughts about this column or any other library-related matter. You can email me at aaron@crestonlibrary.com or just stop by the library anytime.

Happy new year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season filled with peace and joy, and that it continues on into 2016. For me, I enjoyed a bit of time with family and friends as we skied, tobogganed and shared in our communities’ festivities.

The holidays also remind us that not everyone is able to afford the basics. While poverty lives in every community all year round, the holidays have come to be a time when generosity is greatest and our thoughts most reflective on others. This holiday season, I thought of the 6,000 children liv-ing in poverty who saw some change this year, but not enough.

Last year started off well with the announcement that New Democrats, parents and advoca-cy groups’ work would end the child support clawback on Sept. 1. This poverty-creating policy had been taking $13 million away from 6,000 of B.C.’s poor-est kids every year under the BC Liberals simply because their single parents received income assistance or disability.

Since September, children like Neveah and Gabriella,

whom I got to know through their courageous parents, start-ed keeping their child support. This money put nutritious food on the table and paid for school supplies. Rosie, now 15, paid for her own Star Wars ticket instead of asking a friend to

pay. This holiday sea-son, they all had more of what they needed because we changed a bad gov-ernment policy.

That a small group of people made such an important change is wonderful to reflect upon and it warms my heart. But

reality sets in, too. For the most part, the 6,000 kids now getting their child support still live in poverty. That’s how bad child poverty is in British Columbia.

The big culprit for these thousands of children is that their families’ income assis-tance rates remain well below the most conservative poverty measures. Because their fami-lies can’t afford appropriate, safe and healthy housing while waitlists for BC Housing remain over two years long, many of their housing needs aren’t being met. Yet the BC Liberal government insists that there’s thousands of private market housing available for $375 a month despite current data from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation say-ing otherwise. Food costs con-tinue to rise, too, and electricity

rates jump each year under Christy Clark.

These 6,000 children are some of most hard hit by increased costs and lack of affordability, but they aren’t the only ones. One in five B.C. chil-dren lives in poverty. That’s 167,810 kids and there are thou-sands more with parents just barely over the poverty line.

Then there are thousands more with parents whose wages aren’t keeping pace with increas-es to MSP, auto insurance, child-care, activities like soccer, prop-erty taxes, bus passes and more. As a result, they are struggling more each year to keep up with the bills. Maybe this is your story. If not, it’s the story of someone you know.

That’s why we need a legis-lated poverty reduction plan. I’ve introduced my poverty reduction and economic inclu-sion bill three times. Christy Clark responds by ignoring it and leaving B.C. as the only province without a real plan of action. This spring when I’m back in Victoria, I will introduce my bill again and continue to do so until it’s debated and passed.

We need a poverty reduction plan this year. Plans work. They work year-round. They work for the 167,810 children who deserve better. They work for all of us.

Deciding what to do with a loved one’s “stuff” after he or she is gone is a conundrum.

What to keep? What to donate to Gleaners or the Creston Museum or other worthy recipi-

ent? What to pass on to family members? Who would appreci-ate that bundle of old letters, the hen and chicks made of wood, the china teapot with the Blue Willow design?

When my mother, Helen Mosher, died 16 years ago in January, we siblings were beset with this problem. But the fact that there are four of us helped the decision making and the cre-ative solutions. (I can appreciate the dilemma of my cousin who is an only child and in the throes of clearing out her mother’s home. She alone must consider what to do with a lifetime of treasures.)

I would be in favour of a detailed will with itemized dis-tribution list, but how often does that happen? We did hold a garage sale — an act of des-peration some might think but, on the other hand, appreciated by friends of my parents who discovered keepsakes.

My mother owned three or four dozen bone china teacups, those dainty patterned items with names like Lady Carlyle and Old Country Roses. I can’t remember the exact count, but they filled an entire shelf in the large oak buffet in the dining room. She used them often for bridge nights, all special occa-sions and for afternoon tea with our neighbour, Kath Hood. They drank a lot of tea together, and I’m sure there are family stories that Mrs. Hood knew that we are not privy to. Drinking tea is like that.

My generation did not have much to do with china teacups. Mugs are still the beverage con-tainer of choice among family and friends. Instead of giving Mom’s teacups to an antique dealer, we decided to bestow them on the women and grand-children in her life. One teacup for each person — daughters, daughters-in-law, male and female grandchildren, nieces, neighbours. Even after that dis-tribution, I still own 11 of them.

Then there was the Blue Willow set of dishes, complete with platters, serving bowls and the teapot. The teapot’s design is a traditional take on the willow tree, the temple, the two doves, the footbridge, the little boat, the apple tree and the crooked fence, but it’s still a sad story. Despite its 18th-cen-tury Chinese-inspired design

and its story of young love thwarted by the dastardly, rich older suitor, none of us wanted the set. We all had households and dinner dishes of sorts. We parted with the Blue Willow, but not before each choosing a piece that appealed to us.

Appropriately, we decided Mrs. Hood would get the teapot. She appreciated it and brewed tea in it for 16 more years.

Some people gift things of value or sentiment long before they pass away. When someone is brave enough to say, “Hey, I want that painting/clock/chair after you’re gone,” that is a good thing. For my part, I have begun to put masking tape labels on a few items that seem appropriate right now. For instance, I taped a name on the enamelled Russian bowls; per-haps I will put a name on the ceramic Christmas dish my mother made. I’m not wanting to be morbid or to make any-body unhappy. It is the prag-matic thing to do, and it might make things a little easier in the future.

Kath Hood passed away in November. Before she died, she told her children to return the Blue Willow teapot to the Mosher family. Something about that planned gesture is simply perfect.

Betsy Brierley lives beside Kootenay Lake. She used to write for the Advance a long time ago.

Let’s talk about wristbands. These are the colourful Tyvek bands that you get around your wrist when you pay the admission fee at the community complex and what gives you access to all parts of the

building, such as skating, swim-ming, fitness centre and drop-in programs (of course, at the appro-priate times) for the entire day. This means once you get one, you can leave and come back as many times as you want within that day for drop-in skating or a workout in the gym, perhaps go for a swim or hot tub, or attend a drop-in fitness pro-gram sometime over the approxi-mately 13 hours the amenities are open. Each day, we change up the colour of the band, so at least once over the month it should match your ensemble.

Using wristbands is fairly com-mon at recreation facilities that uti-lize a membership system with multiple activities or even to track who has paid at a single facility. I seem to recall one recreation centre that we visited in Calgary that was using them some 15 or 20 years ago. They are pretty durable as you can swim or work out and the most you do is wrinkle them up a bit; it’s actually the same stuff (spun olefin fibres) that they use as house wrap on outsides of buildings in place of tarpaper. So while it is possible to cover the outside of your new garage, it will take a while and require a lot of Tuck Tape.

So, as mentioned, the band is what enables staff at a glance (in most cases) to be able to tell who has paid admission and who hasn’t and, like many things in this world, keep the honest people honest. This is probably why when

we introduced them prior to open-ing the “new improved” commu-nity complex, the majority of peo-ple understood the reasoning of why were headed this direction. Prior to that, we did have some “issues” with people forgetting to pay when they came in, for instance, to play shinny hockey. I’m not sure if you recall how our front counter used to face out into the old lobby, but I remember one day hearing a weird sliding sound but no one was there. Upon lean-

ing over the counter, we dis-covered a couple lads that were perfecting the tech-nique of trench warfare by scrunching down below the window and dragging their hockey bags behind them. That was back in the day when we would count the admissions we had taken, then count the people on the ice and in the event of dis-

crepancy, stop the game and gath-er everyone around to find out who didn’t pony up the four or five bucks.

Luckily those days are over. Wait, maybe not — the other day over Christmas vacation when our numbers swell, I heard the frus-trated calling of our customer ser-vice rep trying to get a few drop-in hockey players to come and pay before they went to the change rooms, to no avail. Walking down to the change rooms and having to ask to see wristbands was a total flashback to Grade 3 or 4 when we had to hold up our pencil crayons to show the teacher before going to the art room. Except these were mostly adults. In a taxpayer subsi-dized facility where the $6.80 (including tax) admission gets you a wristband that lets you also use the pool and fitness centre along with the skating rink. The frustrat-ing part is that one or two never paid on the way out, either. Not restricted to the arena, we also keep a diligent eye open in the pool and fitness centre, as well.

So that’s the evolution of the wristband at our facility and, frank-ly, people have adapted to it gra-ciously since its inception. Hopefully this provides a bit of understanding towards why we use it and we appreciate your patience if we hap-pen to do a check here and there.

OPINION LINECreston Valley Advance Thursday, January 21, 2016 www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca 11

Happy New Year from all of us at the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors! We’ve been carrying on as usual over the holidays, except that people are feeling the effects of losing several members in the last

month, and another this week. While an expected part of life, the experi-ence is different when we’re able to share memories with others.

We’re welcoming Bridget back as she returns from a well deserved holiday with her family. Staff mem-bers Wendy and Sarah, along with Nellie and Susan, plus our great vol-unteers, have done a wonderful job of running the programs. The year began with a New Year’s luncheon party, and heralded the first of many more to come, as we’re fond of find-ing any excuse to celebrate.

Copies of the 2016 TAPS Calendar are still available. Thanks to Creston Card and Stationery and Black Bear Books who are still car-rying them. They are a fundraiser for us, and hope you enjoy the fun

we had putting it together.On Jan. 12 we had a visit

from Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall and her staff, and had a pleasant and produc-tive meeting. We appreciate her interest in and support of seniors and in offering access to her office and resources not only for TAPS and Better at Home, but the wider commu-nity of stakeholders. Sharing

resources is a key factor in finding solutions to any complex issue, and aging in place is one that we are all aware of in our community.

We will be continuing with our youth and seniors connections pro-gram throughout the spring with our funding from New Horizons for Seniors and look forward to reporting on what projects we all come up with.

Maureen Cameron is the community liaison co-ordinoator for the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors, run by Valley Community Services.

“Public art can be huge or small. It can tower fifty feet high or call attention to the paving beneath your feet. It may be cast, carved, built, assembled, or painted.”

—Association for Public Art

As a member of Creston town council, I understand more and more how creative thinking is key

to successful governance. Ours is a small community, and through innovation we can make the most of our assets. Creative ideas can be applied to town planning, includ-ing issues of potholes, snow remov-al, parks and community plans extending 30 years into the future.

Planning creatively for the future builds on work already done. In 2008, in response to the popularity

of the 100-mile diet, a brochure titled “Real Food, Close to Home” pro-moted Creston’s community-sup-ported grain project. This communi-ty supported project put a focus on agriculture in our valley, and initia-tives to grow and distribute locally grown food. Today our rapidly expanding Creston Valley Farmers’ Market supports food growers and

artisans, becoming an impor-tant “go to” community asset.

Creston is notable for a high ratio of highly visible creative thinkers. Our artists give local colour to business and restaurant walls, and murals add interest to our streets. Art and craft shows are held throughout the year.

The literary arts are well represented, with a number of

locally written books on display in bookstores and the Creston Valley Public Library.

The performing arts have a cen-tral venue in the Prince Charles Theatre. As well, the community and church halls host concerts and coffee houses, showcasing seasoned performers and incubating emerg-ing talent. Worthy of note here would be the drama festival to be

held later this spring by the Footlighters Theatre Society.

Creating and maintaining a strong arts and cultural com-munity is a worthwhile goal. It

is possible that investment in arts and culture is a contribu-tion to the economy as well as providing ambience to where we live and work.

Coun. Joanna Wilson is in her fourth term on Creston’s town coun-cil, having served since 2005, follow-ing three years as a School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) trustee.

BC Hockey is a not-for-profi t organization and member branch of Hockey Canada in charge of governing amateur hockey at all levels in British Columbia and Yukon Territory. Approximately 150 minor hockey associations, 55,000 players, 4,500 referees, 20,000 offi cial volunteers and countless others make our great game possible here in Pacifi c Canada. Founded in 1919 as the British Columbia Amateur Hockey Association, BC Hockey has seen many changes and substantial growth over the years. The organization continues to strive to provide training and resources for volunteers so that they may better serve the amateur hockey community.BC Hockey knows that for many, hockey is a life-long activity and that fun and positive experiences must be combined with the teachings of skill and technique. Hockey runs deep in our communities. It is our National Game.The organization is overseen by an Executive Committee composed of 21 elected members and one appointed member (the Executive Director who does not get to vote on issues).As a volunteer-run organization, BC Hockey is indebted to the individuals who selfl essly give their time, skill and support to help promote and foster amateur hockey in BC. Persons interested in volunteering for amateur hockey should contact their local minor hockey association. www.bchockey.net

WILDSIGHT

Join the Creston Valley branch of Wildsight when it hosts the Wild and Scenic Film Festival On Tour at the Tivoli Theatre at 7 p.m. Jan. 25.

The Wild and Scenic Film Festival is a collection of films celebrating the environment. Based in Nevada City, Calif., the films visit over 150 communi-ties, inspiring hope, love and action for our natural world. Partnering in the tour are Patagonia, Clif Bar, Sierra Nevada Brewing, Orion Magazine, Klean Kanteen, Earthjustice, Barefoot Wine and Bubbly, and KEEN.

Some of the films featured are Marie’s Dictionary, in which an indigenous elder types out her language; word by word, before it fades with her; The Ridge, an amazing bicycle ride set to Celtic music; Delta Dawn, following the Colorado River as it flows, once again, to its Mexican destination; Birdsongs, listening to the lan-guage of the birds; and Nobody’s River, four young women kayak an undammed river in Mongolia.

The film festival is a natural extension of Wildsight’s work to inspire people to act on behalf of the environment.

Doors to the Wild and Scenic Film Festival On Tour open at 6:30 pm. Admission is $10 for Wildsight members and youth (18 and under), and $15 for non-member. A Wildsight lifetime membership and film festival admission is $20. Advance tickets can be purchased at www.wildsight.ca.

Grooming Boarding

I am a friendly 4 year old spayed female Shepherd/Malamute cross that has been house trained and well socialized. I am looking for a new family that I can love and show off how I like to ‘sit pretty’, shake a paw or talk to. I like to go on car rides and play with tug toys.

She was always positive. She had a smile on her face, a song in her heart and kind words for everyone.She particularly enjoyed her mother’s homemade wine and often talked about how she missed it, even until days before she left this earth. She was an amazing cook, preparing authentic Ukrainian dishes.Maria wanted to live to 100 to get her birthday greeting letter from the Queen - and she did it.She was pre-deceased by her parents Maxim and Xenia Szach, sister Anne Oleshko, brother Alex Shaw, husband Anton Berger, her partner John Joy Jr., and her son Gary Berger.She will be greatly missed by her children: Ion Berger (Los Angeles, California), Xenia Stanford (Kelowna, B.C.), Neal (Brenda) Berger (Sherwood Park, AB), Ruth Berger (Rocky Mountain House, AB), Aileen Joy (Victoria, B.C.), Keith (Val) Joy (Vernon, B.C.), and Lisa Joy (Lacombe), as well as many great- and great- great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

reunited with Roger and her mother."For what is it to die but to stand

naked in the wind and to melt intothe sun?

And what is it to cease breathing, butto free the breath from its restlesstides, that it may rise and expandand seek God unencumbered?" - Khalil Gibran

On Jan. 29, Hungarian vocalist Noémi Kiss and classical guitarist Rita Deane will perform a concert at St. Stephen’s Presbyterian Church featuring love songs from across the centuries.

The concert — made possible with the support of the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance — will include a wide range of repertoire from early classical to contemporary, including works by Dowland, Sor, Giuliani, Rodrigo, Britten, Villa-Lobos, Sieber, as well as contempo-rary love songs and folk songs from around the world.

Kiss is an internationally acclaimed vocalist, whose voice has been described by critics as “gloriously lyrical over a strikingly wide range.” (BBC Music Magazine) With performances in many of Europe’s concert halls, Kiss’s concert

engagements take her to many of Europe’s festivals and include appearances in Iceland, Norway and Israel.

Born in Hungary, Kiss studied at the Academy of Music in Budapest and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. Her recording of Giovanni Battista Pergolesi’s Marian Vespers, with New College Choir and the Academy of Ancient Music under Edward Higginbottom, was nominated for both the Gramophone Award and the classical Grammy Award.

Deane grew up in the Kootenays and studied both classical guitar and piano from age six. She continued her musical studies at the University of Victoria, and then abroad in Cordoba, Spain, as well as at the International Music Academy in Salzburg, Austria. While completing her master’s degree, she joined the guitar fac-ulty of the Victoria Conservatory of Music.

After a weekend loss by the Creston Valley Thunder Cats — and, converse-ly, two wins by the Fernie Ghostriders — the gap between second and third place in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Eddie Mountain Division has narrowed to a single point.

The Thunder Cats remain in sec-ond place with 51 points, one ahead of the Ghostriders, but 17 behind the divis ion-leading Kimberley Dynamiters. The fourth-place Columbia Valley Rockies aren’t too far behind, with 46 points.

The weekend started out Creston hosting the Golden Rockets, a game that

resulted in a 5-1 win for the Thunder Cats over the fifth-place Rockets, at the bottom of the Eddie Mountain Division with 11 points.

Creston started the scoring with goals by Grant Iles and Tyler Severson in the first period, which was followed by a scoreless second.

The Thunder Cats were first to score in the third period, with Severson scoring on a power play just over 10 minutes in. Golden finally responded on a power play three minutes later, with Jackson Bruce-Fuoco and Marc-Antoine Gagnon each scoring over the next two minutes.

On Saturday, the Thunder Cats hosted the Rockies in a game that saw the lead alternate a few times before

the game resulted in a 5-4 loss for Creston.

Creston’s Liam Plunkett was first to score, ten minutes into the first period, with a power-play goal by the Rockies tying to score less than three minutes later.

The Rockies pulled ahead with a goal just over a minute into the second peri-od, with Creston goals by Sebastian Kilcommons and Brett Witala following in the next seven minutes. The Rockies tied the score with just over six minutes remaining in the period.

The Rockies retook the lead with an unassisted goal six minutes into the third period, with a goal by Creston’s Maverick Lynes tying the score 10 sec-onds later. The game-winner was

scored by the Rockies with five minutes left in the game.

This weekend, the Thunder Cats start the first of four away games by visiting the Castlegar Rebels, whom they defeated 8-2 in a Jan. 8 home game. They continue by taking on the Golden Rockets on Saturday, before visiting the Dynamiters — to whom they lost 6-1 on their last visit — on Tuesday.

Head coach Jeff Dubois was unavailable for comment.

CRESTON JUDO CLUB

The Creston Judo Club hosted the 10th annual Creston Challenge Cup on Nov. 14, with partici-pants travelling from Fernie, Cranbrook, Invermere, Castlegar and Spokane, Wash.

The Creston team was the largest, with 19 local competitors, and had a strong showing by capturing the majority of the medals along with winning the Joe Meers Team Challenge Cup in the final against the Fernie team.

Congratulations go out to Cheyann Albert who, with a stunning display of endurance and judo skills, won the deciding match in the Team Challenge Cup against her Fernie opponent.

Congratulations also go out to 15-year-old Kaeden Rendek, who fought a 45-year-old third-degree black belt from Spokane in an under-55-kilogram black and blue match, and beat the much more experienced fighter in the last min-ute of the five-minute match.
