Townmay drop

below 5,000

BY LORNE ECKERSLEYAdvance Staff

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

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

“The provincial data shows that Creston’s population has declined steadily since the last census, which showed our population was 5,332,” Mayor Ron Toyota said on Monday. “The latest estimate from BC Stats (Ministry of Technology, Innovation and Citizens’ Services) says we were under 5,000 in 2015.”

If the 2016 federal census confirms an under-5,000 population, the Town of Creston would once again not be responsible for policing costs. Instead, a significantly lower police tax would be included in municipal property tax bills.

The net difference to Creston tax-payers when the population jumped over the 5,000 mark was several hun-dred dollars for an average property, Toyota said.

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

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

Brian LawrenceFIDDLIN’ — Accompanied by teacher Velle Weitman, Noelle Lavallee (standing) and Skylar Eyre (not stand-ing), who won an award for best duo, performed “Devil’s Dream” in the Creston Festival of the Arts showcase concert on Sunday, when the top strings, piano, and speech and drama students from the weeklong adjudi-cated competition showed off their talents.

Artist creating whimsy in Erickson studioBY LORNE ECKERSLEY

Advance Staff

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

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

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

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

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

Sewing no longer appeals to her.

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

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

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

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

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

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

That dream faded when Brian dissuaded her from buy-ing a small welding machine.

“He said, ‘Let’s go in togeth-er and get a bigger one,’ ” she recalled. “He found one that was huge and SO complicated. And I thought, ‘I’m not using that!’ ”

Still working days as a hair-dresser, she enrolled in the Red Deer College (RDC) art pro-gram, primarily to pursue her interest in painting.

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

Over the next few years, she took courses toward a two-year program certificate.

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

everything — painting, sculp-ture, ceramics, design, art his-tory and even general studies. But I was working so I could never take all the courses I needed to get a diploma.

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

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

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

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

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

Calls include credit card fraud, unsafe drivers

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

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

Why Marie Antoinette?“She was so fashion for-

ward in her time. I had done some research about her and her designer and they are fas-cinating.”

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

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

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

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

Revoy has a show planned for this summer. She and fellow art-ists Sandy Kunze, Alison Masters and Allison Bjorkman are creat-ing art works from vintage clothes donated by the Gleaners (where Revoy volunteers).

“Lots of polyester and ‘vir-gin acrylic’,’” she smiled.

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

“I actually have a partner and we are working on full production of the drawer pull business, wholesale and retail,” she said. “While I prefer not to make traditionally functional

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

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

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

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

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

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

(NC) You just used your credit card to buy $200 worth of groceries when, suddenly, you realize you need $50 cash. So you ask the cashier for some “cash back” or a “cash advance” via your credit card. Within minutes you have your money and are out the door. Convenient? Yes. Costly? Definitely.Credit card cash back is expensive

When you use your credit card to get cash, your financial institution starts charging you interest as soon as that money is in your hand. There is no interest-free grace period,

and the interest rate is often higher than it is for regular purchases.You may also have to pay a fee for the cash advance, which depending on your credit card issuer can be a fixed amount per transaction, a percentage of the amount of the cash back, or both.“If you don’t have the funds available in

your other accounts, and you take a cash advance using your credit card, remember to make a payment on your credit card as soon as possible to avoid the high interest charges,” says Lucie Tedesco, commissioner of the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC).Interest and fees also apply to other transactionsYou’re also charged interest right away and may have to pay a fee when you use your credit card to:• withdraw cash from an automated teller machine (ATM);• withdraw cash at a bank branch;• buy money orders or travellers cheques.Some Canadians also use cash back on their credit card as a way of making ends meet from time to time.“This could indicate people are having trouble managing their money,” Tedesco adds. “If unexpected expenses come up, talk to your financial institution about your options. There may be alternatives to using your credit card that will cost less in interest and fees.”You may also want to try FCAC’s budget calculator to help keep your finances on the right track.www.newscanada.com

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 tips for stress-free tax filing

A cash advance, or debt nightmare?

opiNioN LiNe

I’ll admit to be a little jaundiced when I hear about yet another screw-up in a B.C. government min-istry. It’s pretty much same old same old for this sorry lot. Bureaucrats or elected officials bungle a job or botch it completely, try to hide the fact and then, and only then, fess up and make a halfhearted apology with a promise not to do it again. The latter should be a given — why make the same mistake again when there are so many untapped possi-bilities?

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

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

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

Other media reports describe a team of 50 bureaucrats scouring

desk drawers and storage boxes last August before passing on informa-tion about the loss to the privacy commissioner.

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

Education Minister Mike Bernier admits that the breach of security (it should have been encrypted when the data was transferred to another storage format) is unacceptable, and he’s issued the requisite apology. And while the NDP is happy to con-tinue on its rant about the hard drive being misplaced, it has no bet-ter ideas about how to find it than

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

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

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

Lorne Eckersley

In his essay, “Mountains and Rivers Sutra”, 13th century Zen master Eihei Dogen tells us that there are hierarchies of understand-ing. If you are in the mountains, you might see grass, trees, rocks and remote mountain cabins. Then you might realize that these are only separate things that make up mountains, and that there is no such thing as a mountain. “Mountain” is just a word. Dogen says that realizing there is no such thing as a mountain, that there are only trees, rocks, paths and creeks, doesn’t take our understanding far enough.

Then he goes deeper: “Even if you view mountains as the seven treasures’ splendour, this is not returning to the source.” The next level you might understand is that grass, trees, rocks and remote mountain cabins are simply various combinations of the elements and atoms that make up our planet. Then, you see mountains a bit more deeply. But Dogen says that even that level of understanding is not “returning to the source.” Then, he goes beyond the physicality of mountains and tells us that even if we recognize the spiritual value of mountains and deeply know their sacredness, we have still not gone

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

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

essay. So now he is saying that what he has been teaching us is just anoth-er conditioned view. “These ways of seeing a mountain don’t represent true understanding. They are ‘merely looking through a bamboo pipe at a corner of the sky.’ ”

This is a typical Zen metaphor. There is the vast sky, the boundless sky, the beautiful sky where all kinds of things are happening. A cloud goes by. Birds soar. Breezes caress. There is no end to the sky. You can look at the sky forever. It turns pale blue in morning. It dis-plays all the vibrant colours of sun-sets and dawns. As humans, we are made in such a way that our hearts

can be broken open by looking at the sky.

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

Suggested practice: Take some time to really study the sky from a place where you see the horizons. After 20 minutes, look at the same sky through a straw and then reflect on what this says about the way you see your life.

To the Editor:I am amazed that no business or

group has come forward to sponsor our longtime resident Darren Douma, a blind golfer and member of the Creston Golf Club.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To the Editor:I’m glad you print The Teen Take col-

umn. It’s heartening to see that there are thoughtful and intelligent young people in our community.

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

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

To the Editor:I love the Warm Fuzzies, but this

time one simply wasn’t enough somehow.

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

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

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

Mary UnderhillCreston

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

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

I was and pulled over at the first road-side diner I saw. I purchased a deluxe burger with fries and a coffee to go, and climbed back into my car. I reached into the takeout box containing my dinner and pulled out the greasiest hamburger I had ever met. In the few short minutes between purchasing the burger and reaching for it, the bottom bun was absolutely saturated with grease, and totally inedible. I sighed, nibbled cau-tiously at the fries, and gingerly sipped my burnt tasting coffee.

The next day in Creston, as I drove to my new church office, I became aware of a rather unpleasant odour wafting up from the takeout box still perched on the passenger seat. When I arrived at the office, I tossed the offending package into the first municipal garbage con-tainer I saw.

The morning passed quickly with a whirlwind of new names and faces, lots of hugs and cheerful welcomes. When the initial rush dwindled, I glanced at the clock and realized it was lunchtime, so off to the bakery I

went. The bakery is one door down from the church office, and en route I passed the gar-bage container I had ear-lier tossed my hamburg-er into. The takeout box was gone.

I cautiously prodded the topmost coffee con-tainers and disposable packaging with my pen, thinking — hoping — that the takeout box con-taining my inedible ham-burger was merely cov-ered with other discarded items. The takeout box

was definitely gone.I realized that the gaily-printed pack-

aging on the box would easily have attracted someone’s eye, and that the box was clearly a container for takeout food. And I realize how very hungry and desperate for protein someone would need to be to see that box and identify its contents as a potential meal. With a heavy heart, I stood on the side-walk and wept.

I realized the depths of my own privilege, driving across the province without a second thought. Casually stopping at roadside diner for food. Munching the food I liked. Discarding food I disliked so easily. And even as I stood there, realizing how I take for granted walking down the street to a restaurant of my choice for yet anoth-er meal.

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

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

I am reminded of a quote from A.W. Streane incorporating a teaching from the Talmud: “Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.” (Ethics/Chapters of the Fathers 2:16)

It is both delight and privilege to be part of a community with such a clear intention to share the love. Some days the amount of work to do feels daunt-ing, but if I close my eyes and imagine all the other helping hands and hearts around me, I gain new strength and commitment. We may not complete the work in our lifetimes, but I have no fear that it will ever be abandoned.

First, the varied thrushes are back, swamp robins singing in the rain. Sounds like my telephone is

ringing. The water dippers are back too — I mean, they are back up the creek from spending win-

ter in the valley.To the left of the sink was a

stainless steel water bucket often filled, nearly to the brim, with cool, clear water for farm-house drinking. Floating in the water, with a long handle rest-ing on the brim of the pail, was a dipper, a genuine water dip-per. Now, if I was minding my manners, I would grip the han-dle and tip the dipper into the

water, letting the water flow gently into it on one side, until it was full. Otherwise, on occasion, I would quickly push the dipper straight down into the water and watch the water gush in from all sides and then collide in its center to send some water shooting straight up into the air. Recalling all that, reminds me of the times I have watched a Canadian dipper (or is it an American dipper?) plunge into creek water, sending water over its back from all sides and up into a bit of a geyser as it disappears below the surface.

They stand on a pro-truding rock above the flowing creek water, looking this way and that while bobbing up

Springtime! The two-week extended forecast appears to be mixed weather with both sunshine, clouds and rain. Unsettled but quite mild with morning lows just below

freezing. This is perfect March weather. Often we find our-selves unloading trucks and setting up the nursery in snow showers. Not ideal. Worse yet is when the valley gets a blast of Arctic air and overnight temperatures drop to -10 C for several days. This makes for all kinds of extra work mov-ing plants around and finding space inside.

Cold snaps can be hard on young plants. If the sap has started to run it may freeze

and injure the plant. In the orchards, the flower buds may suffer damage, as well. This shows up later on as a small or non-existent crop. One year, the frost ran through the

orchard when it was in blossom and we had next to no fruit below six feet off the ground.

In any case, this is a great time of year to get your garden’s weeds under control. The soil is nice and loose so you can remove the overwin-

tering ones quite easily. Other organic methods of weed con-trol include tillage (if your soil isn’t still saturated), the use of ground cover fabrics and mulches of sawdust, bark chips or even rock. By keep-ing the weed seeds in the dark, they won’t be able to germinate. Fire, perhaps from a propane burner, can sterilize the soil surface and burn off existing weeds. This works well on asphalt, concrete or gravel surfaces.

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

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

Nursery Notes

Out There

Ed McMackinA February haunt (above) for the water dipper (left).

Just being a dipper

Early spring perfect time to start weeding again

and down. I am not sure, but they might be waiting for the right time to dive, like waiting for the right wind to come along. Neither am I sure of how much they can see while underwater or out of water in the way of food, but they do find insects in various stages, as well as snails and worms to feed themselves and their young sheltered in an often misty, mountain creekside nest. Another little feature of water dippers is a whitish eyelid that keeps “flashing” as it flicks over the eye and back.

On Feb. 26, while having lunch on some snow-covered creek rocks, we weren’t hearing any birds except for a few soli-tary chickadees and perhaps golden crowned kinglets. Then, something dark whizzed by us uttering this sharp, staccato call. This totally unexpected water dipper descended into a creek opening as quickly as it had appeared from an opening just a

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

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

usually dive into an open cur-rent but will jump in on the lee side of a rock where there is a back current or a bit of calm. Sometimes I have seen them jump into swift water, bobbing along in the water to another rock perch or forage area.

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

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

CRESTON VALLEYPUBLIC LIBRARY

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

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

Byrne will also show pictures of the places that

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

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

The library’s Great Outdoors series will run monthly for the next sev-eral months. Watch for upcoming topics, includ-ing “Herbs in the Wild” and “The Ups and Downs of Bicycle Touring”. For more information, contact the library at 250-428-4141.

Nelson’s Breakwater offering new twist in concertBY BRIAN LAWRENCE

Advance Editor

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Doors to the March 11 show open at 7 p.m. for a 7:30 performance. Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for students, available at Black Bear Books or at the door. For more about the band, visit breakwaterband.com.

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

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

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

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

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

The deadline for application is March 18, with the first eve-ning class slated for April 6. At the end of the course, partici-pants will take part in a “barn raising”, in which paying com-munity members will select one enterprise to take home the event’s admission fees to kick-start their business.

At last year’s “barn raising”,

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

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

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

KES hosting second entrepreneurship programBY BRIAN LAWRENCE

Advance Editor

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

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

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

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

ERIN CARR, CPA, CA

You may not know Bill Doeleman personally, but if you’ve ever had, say, a parking ticket in the last cou-

ple of decades, you know Creston’s for-mer bylaw officer by reputation.

But since starting Creston Driving Academy in January, his professional philos-ophy has taken a new direction.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The course taught Doeleman to teach

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

And it also refreshed him on rules of the road, as well as good driving habits. Shoulder checking, for example, is one good practice that drivers tend to for-get, and while driving in Creston is less hectic than, say, Vancouver, safety is still important.

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

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

He is already giving back to the com-munity by offering a scholarship to a local teen driver, with a student chosen by Prince Charles Secondary School staff to receive a series of free driving lessons. This year’s five applicants already had some driving experience, so he chose to give all five “refresher” lessons.

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

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

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

Anitra Winje Manager of Administrative Services

BY LORNE ECKERSLEYAdvance Staff

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

increase of under three per cent for municipal services.

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

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

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

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

Taxation revenue is bud-geted at $4 million, up from $3.794 million in 2015. Revenues from all sources, including user fees, capital grants and a gas tax, total $7.451 million in the proposed budget. Proposed expendi-tures totalling $6.212 million would result in a $1.239 mil-lion surplus before capital expenditures, debt payments and budgeted transfers to reserves. The 2016 budget includes transfers from reserves totaling $615,000.

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

from the list were proposals to add green energy components to town hall, create a sustain-able landscape plan for the town hall property and fund-ing for a public art project. Other spending was deferred as councillors worked to keep the tax increase under three per cent.

In a presentation at an ear-lier meeting, Klassen outlined the directions council had given staff as it began to pre-pare the 2016 budget. Included were no new taxa-tion for RCMP, maintenance of current program service levels and an adjustment to council remuneration that adds 0.24 per cent to spend-ing levels.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Boehmer agreed, but contin-ued to suggest he would be voting against the proposed budget.

T-Cats down 2-0 to Kimberley in second roundBY BRIAN LAWRENCE

Advance Editor

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

series, Dubois said the Thunder Cats still had a chance to turn the tables.

“We’ve been strong on home ice all year. We’ve won three of four home

games against Kimberley this year. … We’ve got every reason to be confident coming home now that we’re gonna do the job on home ice.”

If necessary, the Thunder Cats will return to Kimberley on Friday for game 5. Game 6 will be held in Creston Saturday, with the final game in Kimberley Sunday.

Stepsisters seeking payback in Cinderella sequelBY LORNE ECKERSLEY

Advance Staff

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Prison? Yup, they were sent to the big house after being con-victed of cruel and unusual treat-ment of their stepsister, now Her Majesty Cinderella.

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

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

“She has all these kids to care for, an immature husband, and she’s still fearful of her stepsis-ters, even if they are in jail! And even living in a fabulous castle, she worries about everything. Being a mother is harder than she ever thought.”

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

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

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

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

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