Harold Standen has fought more fires than he can remember, and after 49 years in Creston Fire Rescue he has decided it’s time to call it quits.

Standen started — officially — as a firefighter in 1965.

“Even before I joined, if a fire started I was there,” he said. “It doesn’t show up on the records.”

His father, Bill, was once a deputy chief and Standen simply followed in his footsteps, as his own three sons would when they reached adulthood.

Bill Carter was chief when Standen joined Creston Fire Rescue and he says “there were maybe a dozen” firemen on the force at the time. The term “firemen” would later be supplanted with “fire-fighters” when women began to join as volunteers.

“It just gradually happened,” he said. “I don’t think anyone gave it a second thought.”

When Standen joined in 1965 the fire hall was located on 11th Avenue North, directly south of where the Creston and District Credit Union now sits. Trainers used to come in from Vancouver to work with the volunteers.

Homelinks staying put for ’14 -’15BY LORNE ECKERSLEY

Advance Staff

The Homelinks supported education program will continue unchanged for 2014-15 and remain in the Creston Education Centre (CEC), School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) trustees decided at the April 22 regular board meeting.

More consultation, with the intent to move Homelinks out of CEC, will be undertaken in the coming year.

A crowd of more than 40 participated in the meeting via videoconferencing designed to connect with the school dis-trict offices in Nelson.

Parents and supporters of the program were on hand in both locations to encour-

age trustees to ignore management advice to move the kindergarten-Grade 9 pro-gram to Canyon-Lister Elementary School and the senior secondary portion to a building that currently houses the Prince Charles Secondary School alternate school program.

The Creston Valley Farmers’ Market

kicks of its summer and fall season at its location adjacent to the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce this Saturday from 9 a.m.-1 p.m.

Market manager Jen Comer, who returns after an absence to have a baby, said vendor interest is stronger than ever.

“We are expecting about 25 vendors throughout May, which is higher than last year,” she said. “Our goal this sum-mer is to get to 50 vendors.”

Visitors to the pop-ular market can expect a wide variety of pro-duce and crafts, all made or grown in the Kootenays. Farmers markets have soared in popularity in recent years as consumers demand increased opportunities to meet and talk to food pro-ducers.

The Howling Wannabes have been around for so long the mem-bers should consider changing the name to the Howling Ares. Whatever they wanted to be at one time, they most surely are by now.

The release of the CD Howling Wannabes III will be celebrated at a party and dance at the Royal Canadian Legion on Saturday. Also performing will be Crimson, fea-turing singing sisters Brandy Hunt and Brooke Douma, and Stormcrow, with Mike Daybell, Dave Brummet, Rick Potyok and Jan MacDonald.

The Wannabes consist of long-time friends Gary Deatherage, David Lyons and Alan Kimmel, along with Jason Deatherage, Jan MacDonald and Rick Potyok. The CD includes musical contributions from guitarists Rod Keen and Dave Furlong.

A prolific songwriter, Gary Deatherage wrote nine of the 13 songs on Howling Wannabes III, while Lyons contributed the other four.

Deatherage says his songs have been described as cosmic rock, too cosmic, dark country and intellec-tual folk, and the latest collection is strong and varied. Recorded at Fort Cosmos Studios, a Deatherage fam-ily operation, the CD was mixed by

Jason Deatherage, who also part-ners with his dad in a studio band, Il Cosmic.

Alison Masters created the CD cover artwork, a follow-up to a cre-ative partnership that resulted in Gary Deatherage writing music for each piece in her series of paintings, Travel Posters @ the Night Gallery, which were combined for a video by film artist Richard Reeves.

“Gary is just brilliant,” Masters said in describing his ability to write music that fit each of the paintings she made for the series.

Howling Wannabes III is a true celebration of the abundance of musical talent in Creston. Songs like She Made a Zombie Out of Me, Teach Me To Fly, We Don’t Hear, Getting Married in Texas, Thick Walls and Shuttered Blinds, When the Earth Woke Up and Meeting of Heart and Mind, are invariably tuneful and thought-provoking, inspirations to dance or to mediate. Each track has a fresh and original sound.

At the CD release party, the Howling Wannabes will be joined by Crimson, with their sweet acous-tic harmonies, and Stormcrow, which keeps the crowds rocking to classic favourites.

Doors to the May 3 concert open at 7 p.m. The event is licensed and restricted to adults. Tickets are $10, available at Black Bear Books, Kingfisher Used Books and Creative Fix.

Police have a male suspect in custody after a third break and entry to the same Erickson Road business in recent weeks. He was caught after the busi-ness owner installed security cameras on the property, Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan said on Monday.

“We made a number of rec-ommendations to the business owner and his actions had results,” he said. “We were able to identify the suspect from video images and make an arrest.”

The suspect remains in cus-tody until a court appearance is arranged. He cannot be identi-fied because charges have not yet been laid by Crown counsel.

Police BeatCreston RCMP responded to

64 calls from April 21-27, Gollan said.

April 21•An adult female reported

missing from Cook Street was determined to be safe and sound in Calgary.

•Minor damage resulted from a two-car collision on Northwest Boulevard.

•When police located a vehicle from which two people were reported to be throwing beer cans from on Highway 3A while standing through a sun-roof, the vehicle had no beer cans in evidence and did not have a sunroof.

•A neighbour accused of making threats on Ninth Avenue South while intoxi-cated was warned. A short time later, a domestic distur-bance at the same address resulted in the male being arrested and held in police cells until sober. He refused to leave police cells when he was released and was taken to hospital for observation under the Mental Health Act.

•A Ninth Avenue South res-ident apologized for the loud music that resulted in a com-plaint by a neighbour.

•An intoxicated Elm Street resident called 911 to report an assault but when police arrived she denied making the call and no assault had occurred.

April 22•A male who failed to

appear in court was arrested on a warrant and later released after promising to appear at his next court date.

•Police are investigating a complaint about a male harass-

ing a female on Ninth Avenue North.

•An assault involving two males on Hillside Street is under investigation.

•The company that owns a truck that nearly rear-ended a vehicle on Highway 3 was noti-fied and will take appropriate action.

•Two intoxicated males reported in a Cook Street park-ing lot were not located.

•Suspicious phone calls were reported by a Northwest Boulevard resident.

April 23•A white vehicle was wit-

nessed leaving the scene after a pellet was shot through a win-dow on Pine Street. The next day, police found four youths in a similar vehicle after a grass fire was lit near the community complex. There was a pellet rifle in the vehicle and while no one would admit to firing it at a window, the group agreed to work off the damage costs by doing chores for the property owner.

•Police were called to inves-tigate an assault complaint involving a grandmother and grandson.

•A complaint about unwant-ed phone calls, emails and Facebook messages was received.

•A fire was lit at a Highway 3A residence and responders found what appeared to be a staged marijuana grow-op, an apparent attempt to get the prop-erty owner into legal trouble.

•A complaint about an erratic vehicle on Highway 3 was received.

•The driver of a vehicle accused of nearly hitting some pedestrians on Hillside Street said the pedestrians had walked out onto the road at a location where there is no side-walk.

•A Dogwood Street resident had a vehicle tire slashed at an unknown location.

•A male under court condi-tions not to attend the commu-nity complex was arrested on the site and charged with breaching probation orders.

•An 11th Avenue South res-ident learned a lesson the hard way. Drivers whose licences are suspended for Criminal Code infractions are also banned from driving mobility scooters. He was issued a vio-lation ticket.

April 24•A 76-year-old male died

suddenly in his home on Sixth Avenue North. Cause of death

is not considered suspicious.•A driver who had con-

sumed alcohol before arriving at the Rykerts border crossing was given a 24-hour driving prohibition.

April 25•Police are investigating a

complaint about an erratic driver who was reported to be driving 20 km/h below the speed limit and weaving on Lower Wynndel Road.

•While police investigated a complaint about a male cutting down trees on the Porthill Road road allowance they learned he had a permit but was not meet-ing all of its conditions. The Ministry of Transportation has been notified.

•A three-car collision occurred on Erickson Road after a vehicle backed out onto the road from a driveway when unsafe. He collided with an east-bound vehicle and an oncoming driver was unable to avoid the collision. The first driver was charged with driving while under medical restrictions and without due care and attention.

April 26•A 911 call from Sixth

Avenue North was attributed a child playing with a phone.

•A person who took a quan-tity of aspirin on Anderson Road was transported to hospi-tal by ambulance.

•When police traced the owner of a cheque that was found in a coat on Canyon Street they learned he had left his coat on top of his car and then drove off. The possessions will be sent to his home in Alberta.

April 27•Investigation of a report

of young people with flash-lights in a backyard revealed that a group of high school students were playing an organized game. They were instructed not to enter private property.

•A tracking dog was used to locate a male after he fled from a Pine Street residence after a domestic dispute. He was arrested and later released on conditions.

•A person about to make a bank deposit was robbed of the deposits on Canyon Street. A male, well known to police, was arrested a short time later and is being held in custody until a court appearance.

•Alcohol was a factor in an argument on 20th Avenue South and no charges will be recommended.

PAWS’ April Volunteer of the Month: Lynn Ray

This ad space donated by the Creston Valley Advance

Lynn has been involved and working hard on behalf of PAWS for many years. No doubt you have seen her name appear under many other headings from bake sales, concessions, organizing fundraising events from mini golf tournaments to more for-mal Christmas banquets. Not to mention years served on the Board of Directors.That is but a few of her talents and commitments. We benefi t from her offi ce knowl-edge and skills to keep the offi ce personnel volunteers on the straight and narrow and the paperwork distributed to the right places! With the years of PAWS experience under her belt we often rely upon Lynn to remember events, personalities and pets of the past so as we can continue faithful to our original goals.

Lynn also practices what she preaches having adopted two PAWS dogs who would be labelled by some as “special needs” and have required care and attention over the call of ordinary duty. But she and Bill have risen to the call and you can tell from the look in the pet’s eyes how they are loved in response. Although PAWS tries to keep count of the many volunteer hours expended, I am sure those hours dedicated by Lynn for our cause are beyond keeping track of!

We all - human and animal alike - thank you so very much!

From page 1After what can only be

described as massive confusion about motions and amend-ments, trustees passed separate motions, which combined will see kindergarten-Grade 12 con-tinue status quo for the next year. In both cases, more con-sultation was directed, and for the senior secondary grades the direction was clear that the pro-gram will not continue in CEC beyond 2015.

Speakers representing pre-school programs operated by other agencies, the StrongStart program that is run by the school district, parents, a teach-er and John Solly, who orga-nized and served as principal for the original Homelinks pro-gram, all spoke against making substantive changes to a pro-gram that has more than 140 registered students and a wait-ing list.

Hermen Koehoorn, whose children are Homelinks stu-dents, encouraged trustees to make a decision so parents can make plans for their chil-dren, but said a survey of parents indicates that 19 fami-lies with at least 40 students will relocate at a cost of $342,000 in lost funding to the school district.

“We need some stability,” he said. “It is demoralizing for

students and parents to go through this constant turmoil.”

The loudest response from the Creston group was reserved for Solly, who said the disconnect between par-ents and school trustees is alarming.

“I can’t find anyone any-where that sees you as their advocates. What is going on here?” he asked. “There is no need to have an adversarial situation, but you have one. It’s just wrong.”

At the outset, Homelinks was “able to forge a partner-ship that honoured parents’ commitment to home-school-ing their children,” he said. “Students who went through Homelinks are now graduating from university, and they say they owe their success to this partnership between parents and the school district. I wish you could be here to feel the animosity in this room.

“In earlier years, you had parents that were advocates and who trusted you. Now they don’t. How many of them feel validated now? Zero. I think it’s going to cost you a half-million bucks (in provin-cial funding losses) to pull off this stunt.”

In an essay outlining the his-tory of the Homelinks program (reproduced in full at http://tinyurl.com/qgol6fm), Solly expresses his concerns about the current situation in Creston:

“Regretfully, at this time I sense, at least within the Creston home-schooling com-munity, the perception that the district is prepared to initiate substantive changes to Homelinks without the sup-port of parents. Even more seri-ous, perhaps, is the perception that these changes are being made more on the basis of administrative convenience or the need to mandate ‘unifor-mity’ for home-schooling com-munities throughout the dis-trict. If indeed these percep-tions are accurate it is my con-sidered opinion the board will see many parents leave Homelinks and enrol their chil-dren in programs outside the district.”

The Kootenay Lake school district, he said, risks losing hundreds of thousands of dol-lars in provincial funding if parents pull their children from Homelinks and enrol them in other school district programs.

In the debate leading to the final votes on the motion, trust-ee Annette Hambler-Pruden argued that making moves that will jeopardize the future of the Homelinks program is at odds with what is happening in other parts of the province.

“At least six other communi-ties in B.C. want to emulate our Homelinks and you want to put it in jeopardy,” she told trustees.

Let’s start with a show of hands. Who among you thought that the Supreme Court would tell the feder-al government it could go ahead and break the constitution by arbitrarily reforming the Canadian Senate? Ahhh… Just you, Stephen. Just as I thought.

How do you feel about a prime minister who doesn’t appear to understand that the constitution enshrined the Senate as a way to pro-tect provinces from being overwhelmed by a federal government’s agenda? The fact that under his direction enormous amounts of money and energy were devoted to asking the Supreme Court to consider the issue should be offensive to any Canadian, regardless of political affiliation. Harper’s response, that the issue is dead and that he won’t even consider entering into a dis-cussion with the provinces, is schoolyard pettiness at its worst. “If I can’t get everything I want I don’t want anything!” Spare me. In another era he would have been sent to stand in a corner while wearing a dunce cap.

Not that the constitutional reform issue is the only cause for concern about the Harper govern-ment’s behaviour. Consider two other bills, one dealing with elec-toral reform and the other with restricting farmers’ ability to save and exchange seed.

First, the electoral reform. Bill C-23 is an ideological piece of legis-lation designed to allow the govern-ment to restrict the ease of voting by ramping up voter requirements. There appears to be no evidence that abuse is a problem, but hey, evi-dence and ideology don’t exactly go hand-in-hand, do they? The bill also

restricts Elections Canada in taking actions designed to encourage vot-ing. I suppose that’s because it might encourage the wrong people from voting. Wrong being anyone

who doesn’t vote Conservative. The Conservatives have caved on some aspects of C-23, but it remains a lousy piece of legislation.

Bill C-18 appears to be one of those bills that get quietly and myste-riously written by industry, then slyly passed on to a minister to be introduced in the House of Commons. Opponents say it will fur-ther corporatize Canada’s food sys-tem, as if that might be a benefit to anyone except maybe shareholders of Monsanto, Syngenta and Richardson International, who are members of the Canadian Seed Trade Association, which supports C-18.

From the Edmonton Journal: “Farmers will lose the right to save

seeds and use that seed for next years crop, without having to pay a royalty to the plant breeder’s rights holder,” said Jan Slomp, a Rimbey, Alta., dairy farm-er and president of the National Farmer’s Union…

He said farmers already pay royalties when they buy certified seed and should be free to do what they wish with it thereafter. Changing the system will reduce the quality of breeding, leading to less disease resistance and produce fewer of the qualities that people — as

opposed to corporations — need from food crops. Costs for farmers will inevi-tably go up, Slomp said.

“Why should people care about that? Either the farmer will go broke, or the

food will get more expensive for people who eat,” he said.

This is yet another step in allowing a small handful of global corporations to con-trol the world’s food supply.

More and more, what we are seeing from “the Government of Canada” as Harper insists on calling it, is legislation designed to benefit his own party and

corporate Canada, with precious lit-tle interest in things that improve the lot of the country’s citizens.

Now, to change gears, a follow-up to last week’s column about School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) and its handling of Creston’s Homelinks program. As I prepared to leave the videoconference of a meeting that was held in Nelson April 22, I said to Homelinks found-er John Solly, whom I had been sit-ting next to, “This wasn’t just a train wreck of a meeting, it was a Lac-Mégantic train wreck of a meeting.”

Earlier, Solly chastised the board of trustees for alienating a large group of parents who are incredibly passionate about their children’s education.

During the debate about whether to move the kindergarten-Grade 9 portion of Homelinks out of Creston Education Centre and into Canyon Lister Elementary, and Grades 10-12 into a Prince Charles Secondary School facility, our crowded room witnessed one of the most incompe-tent and inept public meetings I have ever witnessed.

To the Editor:(Open letter to Kootenay-Columbia MP

David Wilks)I am writing to express my deep

concern about the Harper govern-ment’s Bill C-23, also know as the Fair Elections Act. A fair election is the cor-nerstone of a democratic state. This bill, in both the manner in which it was crafted and its content, threatens our democracy.

First, a democracy needs transparen-cy and accountability. Many of the decisions made to create this bill were done without genuine consultation of current experts in the field. In addition, other political parties were not includ-ed in the creation process. On top of this, the general public is being told that this bill, which affects our funda-mental right to vote, is too complicated for us to understand. An incredibly important bill created behind closed doors is not transparent, and one that cannot be explained to the very public it represents is not accountable.

Second, Elections Canada has a sterling reputation in this country and around the world. For the Conservatives to attack its integrity is reprehensible. Who would want to take away its power to investigate fraudulent activity and put in a gag order to prevent Elections Canada from even revealing it is in the pro-cess of such an investigation? Who is afraid of exposing the truth? Doesn’t “tough on crime” include election fraud? Considering the Conservatives’ record of “in and out” overspending scandals, robocall fraud and consis-tently blocking every Elections Canada investigation into their activi-ty, one would think they would use this bill to allow more power for Elections Canada to maintain the hon-esty of our elections.

Third, the changes to spending on elections puts Canada on the danger-ous path to the corrupt American-style elections amounting to “one dollar, one vote”. We don’t want financially pow-erful corporations funding elections in return for deregulation deals and huge tax breaks. The one per cent have had their way for over 40 years now, and our societal inequality is almost at the level of the Great Depression.

In conclusion, the Fair Elections Act is about much more than voter-vouch-ing. Did your own son not fight in Afghanistan for their democratic rights? Please honour his service, that of other veterans, and the citizens of this country by not supporting this undemocratic bill. Thank you.

Dan HulaCanyon

To the Editor:Talking to a fellow we know in

town yesterday, I was appalled to hear that he had been phoned to do some pruning and garden work. He com-pleted the work and went to collect his cheque but was told that the hus-

band would write the cheque the next day. The next day there was another excuse, and another.

I think those people who have the gall to expect work to be done for nothing should have to live the winter through with these people who do snow shovelling, pruning and garden work. When there is little snow to shovel and because they are self-employed, there is no unemployment paid. Many of them are too shy, mod-est or don’t feel they can ask for money so they chew gum to help their hunger pains. They live in fear of los-ing their apartment or dwelling because they can’t pay the rent. They may walk miles to get to a small pay-ing job, with aching limbs, no energy and cold.

These people who do odd jobs aren’t drunks, drug addicts or lazy people; they all have a story, a wrong decision, hard times or a marriage breakup that took away their savings, their self-esteem and pride or their health. Don’t say they should go out and get a prop-er job; they are injured and depressed, maybe ill. They are doing the very best they can, and if they look dishevelled it’s because they are depressed and feeling overwhelmed and scared, and are struggling to function normally and be self-sufficient.

It could happen to many of us if we are sensitive and not emotionally strong. If you lost your wife or your job and couldn’t find work, you could be out on the street (as is happening in big cities to people with good education).

So those who have employed some-one to help out then thought they could get away without paying, shame on you! I hope you have the chance to know what it is like to be trying to live in a cold house because you can’t pay the FortisBC bill so you have to turn the temperature right down, and you can’t sleep at night because you’re so cold from hunger and lack of heat. Yes, neighbours and friends do what they can to help, but they can’t provide everything to make life comfortable with food on the table every night, hot water and so on.

As a town, Creston is a wonderful place and people are very kind and helpful where they see a need. Please be aware that there are people who fall through the cracks, who are quiet and almost invisible but are struggling to stay alive and turn their life around. Recognize that they need to live and eat too!

Christine MunkerudLister

To the Editor:(Re: “Earth More than 6,000 Years

Old”, April 10)Mr. Jorgensen is correct that “day”

and “period of time” can be same word in Hebrew. However, just like in English, the original Hebrew word has a variety of uses in describing time. How do we know which of several possible shades of meaning is correct in the Genesis account of creation? How do we know the intended meaning of the English word “day” in our conver-sations now? We understand by know-ing the context. It is all-important in English for accurate communication. It is the same for Hebrew.

In Genesis 1 we are given the neces-sary context, many times over. This is

the important phrase: “And the eve-ning and the morning were the first (second, third, fourth and so on) day.” An evening and morning are a 24-hour day. This is not describing thousands or millions of years. This is how we know that creation happened in six lit-eral 24-hour days. “Evening” is sunset. “Morning” is sunrise. The Bible gives no evidence that we should regard these terms in Genesis 1 as symbols or metaphors for other time periods or for creation’s state of readiness.

Each 24-hour day of creation was filled by Jesus Christ designing and cre-ating. His design is that each 24-hour day begins in the evening, somewhat different from our later alterations.

There’s no biblical reason to assume that Earth’s condition of being “with-out form, and void” was not produced, and included, in the opening moments of the creation week. Its not any more difficult for God to create a planetary foundation 6,000 years ago than it would be six trillion years ago.

The Bible does not teach that the entire universe was created during the same week the earth was made. Creation week describes the creation of this world and its neighborhood. Genesis 1:16 adds the fact that God made the rest of the universe “also”, whenever He chose to do it. However, the main purpose of the fourth day of this world’s creation was the “two great lights”, the sun and moon.

We do not lose Christians, young or old, through teaching what God says. We lose them because of various strong pressures to disbelieve and abandon what He says. Many choose to align with those pressures, rather than God’s word.

Jesus could have created this world as easily in six nanoseconds as in six days. Time is not limiting to Him. But we are limited, and He often chooses to use time in ways we can understand. He wants us to understand Him, and He likes to set up ways and means by which He can relate to us, and we to Him — setting apart the seventh day, for example. He likes to do this simply because He loves us, and He knows we depend on Him.

Ken LemkyCreston

To the Editor:Finally after many months, I was

forced to “impose” on my doctor and visit for a prescription renewal. I am about as informed as any person out there as to the misfortune that our team of three doctors won in the lottery of life, or on the wheel of fortune. Yes, Elemuo, Hopkins and Guthrie.

One was lured by this highly civi-lized and developed country all the way from the Dark Continent. Hopkins uprooted her family and bade farewell to her folks in England. Of course, I do not own a book of clairvoyance and do not see what documents they signed, but I am still sure they entrusted their future life in what they believed the fairest country of them all! I did, too, some 46 years ago, and to this day had few regrets. So to my great shock, dis-belief, horror and disgust, I read bla-tant lies, even sympathies offered by certain individuals defending what boils down to a ruthless, gutless, wily business deal.

PUBLIC NOTICECRESTON LANDFILL WASTE SCREENING PROGRAM

Please be advised that the RDCK is conducting an on-going Waste Screening Program at the Creston Resource Recovery Facility. The objective of this process is to educate the public about what is accepted for disposal at the site and to encourage recycling and waste diversion. All loads and household garbage bags will be inspected as part of the waste screening process.

All Waste Screening activities will be undertaken to ensure compliance with the Resource Recovery Facilities Bylaw (RDCK Bylaw 2174). At this time waste screening events will be for the purpose of education only; no penalties will apply for non-compliant loads during this period of time. In the future, customers found to be non-compliant with RDCK Bylaw 2174will be subject to appropriate fees & penalties.

From page 8I am aware this may make

me subject to an attack, or, worse yet, a legal action. Well, heap it on, fork it over, attack me and have me roasted — spare no effort. I have nothing to lose and will on the burning pyre shout, “Shame on us all!”

Did one of you 1,000 patients of Dr. Elemuo not feel ashamed, violated and humili-ated, as much as the doctor himself, working out of a jani-tor’s closet? Where is the national TV? Where are

Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and the head honcho occupy-ing the Health Ministry?

To you, Dr. Elemuo (my family doctor), I offer sincere regret, apology and sympathy that you have to endure this humiliation. As far as I know, it is not you who drives home in a Lincoln, nor am I aware that you have a few other busi-ness deals that you will try to devour tonight and flush them down with fancy liquid that travelled across the ocean from France. You are too busy mak-ing the morning rounds to see a few of your patients in the hospital, reviewing, referring

and, after work, attending to minor surgeries around 5 p.m. Every drop of sweat and hour of your day is for the good of this community.

It took us, the despairing and destitute folks, a long time to get you here. What has transpired, and the conditions you and the other doctors have to presently endure is beyond tragic. On behalf of all the patients, I salute you and your stamina. On behalf of all the decent residents of this tiny town, I sincerely apologize to you and your family.

I was in the curling arena the other day following the Association of Kootenay and Boundary Local Governments conference (another successful large three-day conference event

held at the Creston and District Community Complex, utilizing almost every room, and organized by Town of Creston staff and a few other key people) and I noticed we had added another pickleball court on the curling floor making a total of three — count ‘em, three — surfaces for playing this rising-in-popularity sport.

I know I have given you the background on pickleball before but let’s recap for old times’ sake. Sort of a cross between badminton,

tennis and ping-pong, it uses over-sized paddles to hit a waffle ball over a lower-height net. Playable by all ages, this game has grown in popularity since its mid-1960s invention in the Puget Sound area

of Washington, and whether you believe it was named after the inventor’s dog, Pickles, or a reference to a pickle boat, it doesn’t really matter. The game itself is a blast, can be as chal-lenging as you make it and you really have to come and try it out.

So, as my grandma used to say, “How much costing?” If you already have a membership to the community complex, noth-ing, plus we provide the paddles and nets. No membership, no wor-ries — at $3 for adults and $2 for seniors or youth, that’s cheap enter-tainment, plus as a bonus you get to immerse yourself in our mantra, “Get active.” Right now it runs from 7 a.m.-noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and 6:30-8 p.m. on Wednesdays.

But wait! There’s more! A kind soul within the current pickleball

The next time you’re looking for a mort-gage for that new house or you’re up for renewal on your existing mortgage, think about using a mortgage broker — their ser-vices are free and they offer you an abundance of choices. Many people are still unfamiliar with what exactly mortgage brokers do. They often think that you go to a broker when the bank says no and you don’t have any other choice. When the reality is that brokers have access to many “A” lenders with the very best rates.

Brokers have access to a vast array of lenders — over 90 institutions, including some of the big banks — which enable these professionals to negotiate the best possible mortgage products and rates on your behalf. Your broker acts as an agent between you and these institutions, ensur-ing you get the best products, rates and service. Although brokers have access to this many lend-ers, the reality is that most have around five that they work with on a regular basis. The advan-tage of this is that a strong relationship can be built with each lender, without being limited to just one. That way, if your particular situation

doesn’t happen to fit into one lenders “box”, you have other options without having to fill out another application or have another credit bureau pulled.

In many ways, dealing with a broker is very similar to dealing with a bank. You will get asked many of the same questions, fill out a similar application, and be asked to provide similar documents. Where the two differ mainly is that the bank is going to take that application and submit it to their underwriting department. A broker is going to review the information and find the best fit for it. Finding this might include who has the best rate at that time, who offers the best prepayment options, who has better cus-tomer service, who has a particular mortgage product or any number of things that may be important to a particular borrower. It just depends on what is most important to the client. The broker then submits the deal to the chosen lender’s underwriting department for approval.

Mortgage brokers do their homework on available mortgage products and keep them-selves abreast of any new products, or changes to existing products, to ensure they find the best mortgage to fit your specific needs.

The top reasons for using a broker are:•choice — access to multiple financial insti-

tutions;•rates — because brokers can choose from a

number of lenders, they can usually offer the best rates;

•costs — using a mortgage broker costs you nothing;

•knowledge — brokers are trained and licensed through the B.C. government; and

•flexibility — clients can choose whether to deal in person, on the phone or by email, which-ever is most convenient for them.

So if you are looking to purchase a new home, or refinance your current home, consider using a mortgage broker. All mortgage brokers are sub-ject to the same training and licensing guidelines under the Financial Institution Commission of British Columbia, so you know you are in capa-ble hands.

From the “I Did Not Know That” file, I see there is an arti-cle in the most recent issue of Beef in BC magazine about the upcoming BC Cattlemen Association annual general meeting with a picture of our front entrance splashed across the page. I did know most of that, other than that there exists a Beef in BC magazine. Probably not as mainstream as Maclean’s or Star Weekly, I did find it quite interesting with lots of well

written, informative articles obviously targeting the folks that will come to our next large scale three-day convention (again using pretty much all the space in the complex). We are excited about hosting another convention as each event provides more experi-ence and spreads the word about the facility and region, providing revenue-generating opportunities not only for the complex but the town and sur-rounding area as a whole.

BY DAVID BLACK

I am the majority owner of Black Press, the company that owns this newspaper. This is the first of two columns addressing what I see as the greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime. I am a reasonably sensible and conservative businessman, not an alarmist. All of the information in this column can be confirmed from public sources.

The oil industry wants to export Alberta bitumen to Asia via tankers. Under no circum-stances should we allow that to happen. A bitumen spill at sea could destroy our coastline, together with the fish and wild-life that depend on it, for hun-dreds of years.

Bitumen, even if it is dilut-ed, does not float in sea water if there is sediment present. This has been proven many times, most recently in a thor-ough Environment Canada study published on Nov. 30. Page 51 of the study provides graphic evidence of sunken bitumen. Given that there is an abundance of sediment along the B.C. coast, the bitu-men will sink rapidly and there will be little chance of recovering any of it if there is a spill. By Northern Gateway’s own admission the likelihood of a bitumen spill at sea is over 10 per cent over the next 50 years. Others say that it is much higher. We are in agree-ment with the position taken by the coastal First Nations that even the slightest risk of

a spill of bitumen at sea is unacceptable.

The grounding of the Exxon Valdez in Alaska in 1989 is often held up as an example of how bad an oil spill at sea can be; however, a spill of bitumen at sea would be much worse. The Exxon Valdez carried light crude and lost 250,000 barrels, one eighth of a tanker load. The light oil floated and could be removed from the beaches. Even so, after four years of work with up to 11,000 workers and 1,400 boats involved, less than

10 per cent of it was recovered. Roughly 200,000 birds and many kinds of other wildlife were killed. Approximately 1,300 miles of shoreline were affected and the fishery has yet to fully recover. Bitumen is very different. It would harden up on shore and much of it would sink to the bottom, making it unre-coverable and killing virtually everything with which it came in contact. Imagine if we lost a full tanker load.

Some say that with GPS-based navigation and double hulls, spills such as Exxon Valdez are not possible today. They are wrong. Double hulls do not prevent hull fracture if there is a collision at speed, only if there is a gentle scrape. As for the GPS claim, most marine accidents are caused by human inattention, not by a lack of knowledge about posi-tion. All ships carried systems to indicate their location before GPS came along. The Exxon Valdez crew could have glanced at their instruments to deter-mine their location but they didn’t; neither did the crew on the Queen of the North. Marine disasters regularly occur and a quick search of the Internet shows human error is most often the problem. Undoubtedly there will be many more marine accidents in future. Our grand-children will not thank us if we willingly risk the destruction of the B.C. coast on our watch.

Fortunately, there is a solu-tion that is beneficial for all concerned: All we have to do is build a refinery at Kitimat. The refinery will convert the bitu-

men to gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, which float and evaporate if they are spilled. Often little or no spill remediation is required. These refined fuels simply do not cause the habitat destruction of conven-tional or synthetic crude oil, or any-where near the devastation caused by bitumen.

The second part of this column will run in the next issue. It will discuss the enormous value-added benefits and environmental advan-tages of a modern green refinery. The pipeline from Alberta and the tanker fleet to export the refined fuels will also be considered.

Let me declare my biases. I am for creating thousands of good

permanent jobs in B.C. I am for creating billions of new tax dollars for government coffers. I am for reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions. I am for building an oil pipeline that will never leak. I am for building a modern tanker fleet that carries only refined fuels that float and evapo-rate if spilled. I am against ship-ping bitumen in tankers.

If you agree that we should not put bitumen in tankers, please con-tact your local MP and say so. The Canadian government makes a decision on this this month.

From page 6The discussion was confused

and ill-informed, information was lacking or non-existent and I am willing to bet that some trustees voted against their own wishes, so confusing was the debate. If ever a meeting could have used a parlia-mentarian, this was it. Somewhere, Robert, who penned the Rules of

Order, is spinning in his grave.Last week I wrote that I was

watching the handling of the Homelinks issue as an indicator of whether school boards serve any valid purpose. One meeting is too small a sample to draw a final con-clusion, but I do know I wouldn’t vote for anyone sitting around the board table on that afternoon. The level of discussion was appalling.

To the Editor:How close we came to losing

our bridge to a wildfire on the south end of Nicks Island Road a very short time ago!

A similar incident in the not too distant past was dealt with prompt-ly and effectively by members of the West Creston Fire Protection Society, along with their spouses. They spent hours to extinguish the flames and many more hours to look after hot spots. They all had our safety and security at heart!

The latest episode was looked after by the Ministry of Forests

people, who did an equally good job once they arrived.

I ask all of the West Creston naysayers and especially the authors of some very nasty letters if they sat up and took notice! They attempted to tear the community apart by going public with their concerns, instead of taking the honourable face-to-face route, and there were those who did not have the intestinal fortitude to identify themselves.

One of those so-called authors happens to often express his biased and hypocritical opinion in the Advance by offering little more than unprofessional drivel whenever he attempts to write. A bit of appreciation and less ridi-cule may be in order from an individual who obviously came to this country seeking a better life.

Annual General Meeting

From page 1Standen became a Town of Creston public

works employee, driving the garbage truck and other vehicles, so he was always on standby to respond to fires.

“They told me that after I finished my gar-bage route I should just go the fire hall so they knew where I was,” he recalled.

He kept busy maintaining equipment and servicing oxygen tanks.

Fire departments are renowned for keeping fire trucks spotless and gleaming, but that

doesn’t mean they are immune to problems.

“We had a Model B Ford and one time it wouldn’t start. We had to push it down the road to get going,” he laughed.

He spent most of his career as deputy chief, working under many different fire chiefs. Each had his own way of doing things, and Standen simply adapted as the years passed.

His first big fire, he said, was a Royal Bank blaze on a New Year’s Eve.

“I was at a dance and I ran down in my suit,” he said. “The water froze it solid.

“Then there was the old rec centre. Fire went through that building like you wouldn’t believe.”

A memory that stays with him is the fire that destroyed Prince Charles Secondary School early one morning in 1980.

“My boys were going there at the time,” he said.

Grad decorations set atop a heat-er in an adjacent building caught fire, which quickly spread to the main building.

“Teachers entered through the front door and you know what hap-pens then—the fire drew quickly right through the building and it was out of control.”

He laughed when reminded about the Advance photo that caught principal Bill Goodchild exiting from the school, carrying a huge bass drum as volunteers scrambled to save band instruments.

The biggest blaze, Standen said, might have been on the winter night when Sunset Seed Co. caught fire.

“We could never have stopped that fire in a million years,” he said, shaking his head at the memory.

Over the course of his career, Standen said he witnessed many changes. Firefighters used to have dedicated landline phones in their homes.

“When a call came in, everyone could pick up the phone and hear where the fire was. I could even ring the siren from my house. Then we used to pack pagers, but it’s all cellphones now.”

Much of the appeal that kept him on the job for almost a half-century was the social aspect.

“The friendships were amazing. And there was the ladies’ auxiliary — they did a lot of work behind the scenes.”

Until recent years, more skills competitions against other towns were held and volunteers spent more time at the fire hall.

“We used to play pool and poker after training but now after practice they’re gone,” he says of a young generation of firefighters. “Times change.”

Standen has boxes of trophies and plaques that have accumulat-ed over the years, but he said the legacy that makes him most proud is that his sons followed in his path. Larry, Wayne and Don were all volunteer firefighters. Two were captains and one worked in the ambulance service. Larry is now a paramedic in Fruitvale, Wayne is an advanced life support specialist and Don had a long career as a firefighter in Creston.

Of his own career, Standen shrugs off the accomplishments.

“I like to help people out,” he said. “But there is something we learned early — buildings can be replaced but people can’t. Safety comes first.”

The Town of Creston honoured Standen with a retirement dinner, and at the April 15 council meeting he was presented with a silver horn, symbolic of the long history that volunteer firefighters have around the world. And, while he might not be responding to any more fires, he doesn’t plan to disappear entirely from the scene.

“I said before I left, ‘I’ll be around to check on you guys!’ ”

BY BRIAN LAWRENCEAdvance Editor

After guiding thousands of Adam Robertson Elementary School students through the pro-cess of making wooden birdhouses and cars, Gary Smith is leaving the woodshop behind.

The 71-year-old counsellor and social worker is retiring in June, 19 years after starting the unique counselling method at ARES.

“I find it easier to slide stuff to kids when they’re engaged in an activity,” he said. “All they know is that they’re playing.”

Smith meets in the woodshop with about 25 students — alone or in groups of two or three — through-out the week to talk about specific issues. Although the setting is useful for boys and girls, it has been par-ticularly useful for boys, many of whom, Smith said, don’t relate well to using a pencil and paper.

“This has been a carrot, espe-cially for the boys,” he said. “They need to be handling materials.”

The experience sticks with stu-dents — Smith has had many for-mer students tell him they’re now taking shop classes at Prince Charles Secondary School.

“It definitely carries on because they realize they really enjoy doing stuff with their hands,” he said.

The woodshop is also used in more than just an official counsel-ling capacity — Thursday lunch hours are open to any interested students, and the room can quickly become packed with about two dozen boys and girls of all ages.

While younger students work on simpler items, such as birdhouses and cars, the older students tend toward more elaborate projects, including tables, stools and shelves. One class is currently working on 28 birdhouses for a contest that will be part of next week’s Creston Valley Bird Fest.

The woodshop wouldn’t be pos-sible without some help from the community, and Smith has appreci-ated regular donations of wood from the Wynnwood and J.H. Huscroft sawmills.

Smith has purchased some of the tools himself — he sold Adirondack chairs to raise money

for a band saw — and he recycles the school’s juice boxes, cans and bottles, which provides about $20 a week for the shop.

He has appreciated the oppor-tunity over the years to pass on his passion for woodworking to students, some of whom are the same age he was when he got his first taste.

Wood shop helps counsellor connect with kids

Brian LawrenceOn Thursdays at lunchtime, Adam Robertson Elementary School students enjoy dropping in at the school’s basement wood shop. For more photos, find this story (posted April 27) at www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca/news.

“I started at six years old building houses with my dad.”

As an adult, he did social work and ran his own land-

scaping business before coming to ARES, starting what he is sure is the only elementary school woodshop in B.C.

“I think every school should have one,” he said. “I will miss this greatly, but it’s time to try a few other things.”

CRESTON VALLEYPUBLIC LIBRARY

The Creston Valley Public Library presents the National Film Board of Canada feature documentary, The Wings of Johnny May, as its May film club presentation.

This film shines a spotlight on Johnny May, the first Inuit bush pilot in the Nunavik region of northern Quebec — and a legend among his people. May has lived through aston-ishing adventures and has had a unique view of the transfor-

mation of the Arctic from his perch in the sky. During the 34,000 hours of flight time he’s logged, May has lived through exploits worthy of the novels of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The Wings of Johnny May is an air-borne voyage that highlights a unique culture seen through the eyes of an exceptional man.

The Wings of Johnny May will be preceded by the ani-mated short film, I Am But a Little Woman. Inspired by an Inuit poem first put to paper in 1927, I Am But a Little Woman wordlessly evokes the beauty

and power of nature, as well as the bond between mother and daughter. As her daughter looks on, an Inuit woman cre-ates a wall hanging filled with images of the spectacular Arctic landscape and tradi-tional Inuit objects and iconog-raphy. Soon the boundaries between art and reality begin to dissolve.

See The Wings of Johnny May and I Am But a Little Woman at 7 p.m. May 6 at the Creston Valley Public Library (rear entrance). Admission is free. Running time is 90 minutes.

If you go past a school these days, you just may hear the sound of

singing, dramatic voices, feet stepping in rhythm, or instruments

playing. Students may be seen through the windows industriously

painting, drawing, or sculpting. Private dance and music students

are busy too- all of these young people under the direction of their

creative and skilled teachers. They are preparing for the performance

and visual arts week-long show - Focus On Youth.

Crestonites have a unique opportunity not available to any other

community in BC - that of being able to celebrate the talents of our

young people - and they are many! This is the twenty-eighth year

of this non-competitive festival for our youth from ages 5 to 19 who

attend public or private schools or take lessons from private teachers.

This year there will be twelve delightful concerts in the Prince Charles

Theatre from Monday, May 5 to Friday, May 9 and a visual arts show

at the Ingham Arts Cultural Centre from Monday to Thursday of that

week.

School trustees, town councilors and community leaders show their

support by emceeing the concerts. See the complete festival schedule in

this supplement. A donation of any size at the door if you are able will

be gratefully appreciated to help with our expenses. As a spring treat to

yourself, take in at least one concert and the art display to show support

for our most talented young people and their teachers!!!

CRESTON VALLEYBIRD FEST

The Creston Valley Bird Fest celebrates the art, the agriculture and the birds of the Creston Valley. There is something for everyone at the May 9-11 bird festival, includ-ing 11 birding tours with qualified experts, seven presentations and nine unique valley events.

There are children’s events and canoe rides at the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area, as well as a youth art exhibit at the Creston and District Community Complex. Photography work-shops, tours to the organic dairy and the College of the Rockies greenhouses, five creative art stu-dios and a medicinal plant walk are unique to Creston. The buffet dinner on Friday night catered by Demetre and a Saturday lunch catered by Real Food Cafe are accompanied by presentations on hummingbirds, eagles, bats and bad news birds.

Events occur at the community complex, the wildlife area, Wynndel, Canyon, Lister, the col-lege and all birding hot spots in

between. Art abounds at Kingfisher Used Books, the com-munity complex and at the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce with the travelling Flathead Wild exhibit. The bird fest committee welcomes newcomers to the bird watching world — this is an opportunity to try something new and learn about the beautiful winged creatures that inhabit the valley. Birding tours start at the community complex at 6:30 a.m. Saturday and Sunday.

The Keynote speaker for the 2014 Creston Valley Bird Fest is Dave Quinn, CBC’s “outdoor guy”. In his 7 p.m. Saturday pre-sentation at Prince Charles Theatre, “A Wildlife Biologist’s Love Affair with Birds,” Quinn brings the world of birds to us.

The Cranbrook-born wildlife biologist, photographer and wil-derness guide has explored the complex relationships between birds and people around the globe. Quinn will share his obser-vations and stories from his per-sonal and professional expedi-tions to the world’s remote land-scapes. Driven by his passion for

wilderness and wild spaces, his work with mountain caribou, badgers, fisher, grizzly, lynx and other species has shaped his understanding of the Kootenay wild and sharpened his efforts to protect what remains.

His writing and photographs have been published in BC Magazine, Westworld, the Financial

Post, Backcountry and Adventure Kayak, as well as the Patagonia and Mountain Equipment Co-op cata-logs. As a wilderness guide in Patagonia, Greenland, the Canadian Arctic, the Kootenays and B.C.’s West Coast, and through personal travels in Africa, Asia, and south and central America, he has experienced some remarkable

wildlife encounters and a life-long love of birding.

Registration is on now at the College of the Rockies from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday and online at www.crestonvalleybirds.ca. Registration closes 5 p.m. May 9 at the community complex. There will be no late registrations on Saturday or Sunday.

Buying used? We’re looking out for you. Find out how at WatchoutforWalt.com

I was getting good at this, so I purchased a used vehicle in the U.S. and imported it. It didn’t have any airbags, so the warning lights were on. But I wasn’t picky. I knew, based on my other tricks, I could solve that before I had it inspected and registered.You just couldn’t be too worried about the truth. I Googled airbags. I saw I had three options. Get certifi ed replacements installed at a repair shop. Buy some and install them myself. Or, override the warning light.I called and found that the fi rst option was out of the question. Way too expensive. But, option two had some promise. There were cheap ones online. Of course, there were some warnings about dangerous fake airbags.Option three, overriding the warning lights, went too far – even for me. You can fi nd how-to videos about anything on the web. So, I ordered cheap ones and had them sent to my U.S. mailbox. I used a buddy’s garage and put them in. Bingo! The warning lights went off and I was on my way. Soon, I had an ad up on several classifi ed websites:Great car for sale. Moving out of the country and need to sell fast! Good condition. Recently inspected. Call cell. I’m fl exible on price!!I couldn’t believe how many calls I had.I found my buyer not long after. A nice man about my age; divorced with three kids. That’s all I know about him – I don’t like getting too personal. I was actually honest about the vehicle this time. I told him that the car had been in an

accident and was from the U.S. I asked if he wanted a vehicle history report*, but he declined. He appreciated my honesty, as he’d gone through a few bad deals. With the transaction done, we parted ways. Then I got a call from my buddy.Being a curious person, he’d read the boxes the airbags came in that I’d left at his shop. “You installed counterfeit airbags,” he said. “So? They look identical to the original airbags,” I said.“I’ve seen videos of bogus airbags catching fi re and with metal bits exploding when they deploy. They’re not safe,” he scolded. I’ll take my chances, I thought. It would only be a problem in an accident.The next day, my buddy left a message. He ended our friendship.Whoa, chill out. A guy’s got a right to make a few bucks.

*Vehicle History Reports: CarProof and ICBC vehicle history reports provide detailed information about the registration and accident history of a vehicle. CarProof Verifi ed BC reports also include a lien search. These reports can’t tell you everything a physical inspection will, but they require the seller to Prove it! and not just say it.

BOUNDLESS

The international vocal ensemble, Boundless, presents a return engagement of The Elusive Heart, a music theater work, on May 11 in Bonners Ferry, Idaho.

The Elusive Heart is both a choral concert and a powerful theatre work in which astounding new scien-tific discoveries about the human heart are shared alongside ancient poetry in vibrant visual projec-tions.

Boundless is an eight-member vocal ensemble directed by Vicki Blake Thompson and accompanied by Barb Nelson. Boundless specializes in works incorporat-ing music, theater, and the visual arts. Performers come from Bonners Ferry and Creston, and include sopranos Gail Southall and Rhea Verbanic, altos Skye Palmer and Vicki Blake Thompson, tenors D.J. Cruttenden and Rob Cleve, basses Sam Richardson and Jim Thompson.

“The show received such positive feed-back, we decided to do one more show,” said director Blake Thompson. “The new scientific information about the human heart is what inspired me to take on this pro-duction. For centuries, the sages have spoken of the power of the human heart. Now we are beginning to uncover scientific facts about the heart, which not only sup-port the old intuitions but force us to take a hard look at how we are living our lives. This productions explores in song and poetry and facts the powerful yet elusive human heart.”

Music includes extremely varied works ranging from classic rock pieces like Loves Me Like Rock, Shambhala and The Longest Time to choral works with texts from poets like Hildegard of Bingen, Chief Seattle and Sara Teasdale.

The Elusive Heart will be presented 3 p.m. May 11 at the Pearl Theater in Bonners Ferry. Tickets are $10 at the door.

CRESTON ROTARY CLUB

The Creston Rotary Club recently presented the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors (TAPS) with $1,034.17, the proceeds of last year’s successful Christmas card project, in which fab-ric artist and painter Eileen Gidman worked with seniors and Prince Charles Secondary School students.

TAPS co-ordinator Bridget Currie and com-munity liaison development co-ordinator Maureen Cameron were guests at a recent Rotary lunch, and received the cheque from project organizer Brenda Silkie.

Currie also spoke about the “big picture” for TAPS, including the Better at Home pro-gram (helping seniors with non-medical day-to-day tasks so they can continue to live inde-pendently), and Cameron related that the Christmas card project was a positive experi-ence for the seniors and the two PCSS stu-dents from PCSS that participated in it. She mentioned that the funds from the project might be used to start an art program for seniors.

FISH AND WILDLIFE COMPENSATION

PROGRAM

It’s that sturgeon time of year once more! The annual juvenile white sturgeon release will occur from 2-4 p.m. on May 6, at the old ferry landing at the end of Kootenay River Road west of Creston. If you have not yet released your very own juvenile white sturgeon, then this free public event provides a great opportunity to do so.

The Kootenai Tribe of Idaho has been working hard for many years to ensure that white sturgeon remain part of the local ecosystem. It initiated a sturgeon conservation aqua-culture program, with funding from Bonneville Power Administration, in 1991. The program, the first of its kind, collects wild broodstock adult sturgeon from the river and raises the juveniles in the Kootenai Tribal Sturgeon Hatchery in Bonners Ferry, Idaho, and in the East Kootenay’s Bull River hatchery.

“There continues to be virtu-ally no natural recruitment — that is to say, the survival through the egg, larvae and into the juvenile stage — in the river,

and this has been the case for more than four decades now,” says Sue Ireland, the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho’s fish and wildlife program director. “This is a stop-gap measure, but a critical one in the conservation effort as we, and many other partners, work toward implementing habitat restoration measures that should provide conditions for fish to successfully repro-duce in the wild. It is a critical program if we are to avoid this population becoming extinct.”

The release is coordinated by the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP, a partnership between the province of B.C., BC Hydro, First Nations and the public) in the Columbia region, with sup-port from the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC, Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area, FortisBC, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, and the Kootenai Tribe of Idaho.

“This is always a great event that draws people from many different communities,” says Trevor Oussoren, pro-gram manager for FWCP. “Not surprising, given the fact that white sturgeon are amazing prehistoric-looking creatures,

and it is like holding part of our natural history in your hands since they have remained largely unchanged for 175 million years.”

In 2014, approximately 1,500 10-month old juvenile white sturgeon, each with an average weight of 75 grams, and mea-suring between 15 and 25 centi-metres in length, will be released near Creston, with more being released in the U.S. They can grow to the length of a canoe and live for over 100 years.

The Kootenay River stur-geon population is endangered in both Canada and the U.S. due to a variety of human impacts, including the opera-tion of Libby Dam, which has altered the natural flow of the river. There has been virtually no natural reproduction in the wild since 1974. There are thought to be less than 1,000 adults living on both sides of the border.

For more information about Kootenay River white stur-geon, visit gofishbc.com/Sturgeon.htm.

For more information on the juvenile sturgeon release event, contact the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program at 250-352-1300.

Key of She part of international choir festivalBEYOND BORDERS

The first Beyond Borders International Choir Festival will be held May 3 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. It will culminate in a concert featur-ing four different area choirs and a massed choir under the direc-tion of Max Mendes from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

The four area choirs featured in the concert include Key of She from Creston; Resonance, the Selkirk Valley men’s choir (singers from Creston and Bonners Ferry); She Sings, the Selkirk Valley women’s choir (singers Bonners Ferry, Creston and Troy, Mont.); and Boundless (Sandpoint, Bonners Ferry, and Creston).

Max Mendez will conduct all the members of these choirs plus other

individual singers from the region in three works for this concert. The singers will enjoy rehearsals and clinics with Mendez throughout the day, culminating in the performance at 7:30 p.m. The concert will include a wide variety of music ranging from classical to con-temporary, from Mozart to Billy Joel.

Mendez is currently director of choirs at North Idaho College in Coeur d’Alene. He has been an active part of the Inland Northwest music community for the last 12 years and divides his time between conducting,

teaching and performing. He served as director of music and choir director at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Lourdes in Spokane, Wash., from 2002-2012. He has been a guest con-ductor, clinician and adjudicator for festivals and workshops throughout Idaho and Washington, including the Spokane School District Festival of the Arts, and served as a con-ductor and musical director for Eastern Washington University, Spokane Civic Theatre and Coeur d’Alene Summer Theatre.

As a choral artist, he has sung with the Jane Hardister

Singers and the Los Angeles Chamber Singers. His versatili-ty as a singer ranges from opera and oratorio to musical theatre, cabaret, and popular styles. Mendez is a founding member and now artistic director of Spokane Choral Artists and a proud member of Male Ensemble Northwest. He received his master of arts degree in conducting and bach-elor of arts in music from Eastern Washington University.

The concert will begin at 7:30 pm at Trinity Lutheran Church in Bonners Ferry. Suggested donation is $10.

CRESTON VALLEY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL

This year, the Creston Valley Blossom Festival opening cere-monies are offering a wealth of local talent, as well as the citi-zen of the year award.

The Blossom Festival talent showcase is an opportunity for local performers to apply for a paying gig that will offer them a shot at a significant perfor-mance bonus. CEOs get them, so why not local talent?

Performers are invited to submit resumes to crestontal-en tshowcase@gmai l . com. Adding video or audio to your application is encouraged. The hiring committee will choose 10 applicants to audition for

five spots during the opening night show. These five will receive a minimum of $50 for their performance.

The twist is this: One of the performers will receive a per-formance bonus of $500. The recipient will be chosen by a vote taken that evening by audience members and will receive the audience choice award.

Rather than a traditional tal-ent competition, the perform-ers are being given an opportu-nity to apply for a job. The requirements of the job are:

•the performance must be appropriate for the proven demographic of the event. The audience is predominantly seniors and families;

•the performance must not require live music gear such as amplifiers or drum kits as there is not time for set-up and tear-down of such gear;

•the performance must not take more stage space than eight feet by eight feet as there will be a band set up on the stage; and

•preference will be given to new and underexposed talent.

While the votes are being tallied, the audience will be treated to a performance by the Carltones, featuring Carl Erickson, Donnie Clark and assorted friends. Combining superior musicality and a relaxed atmosphere with the quick banter of good friends, this is a show not to be missed.
