The Creston Valley Seniors Centre has a new paint job, an updated kitch-en and room for new members.
The popular seniors’ facility, which opened in 1987, is located at 810 Canyon Street, just below the grain elevators. And, thanks to the work of member/
volunteers, the plant beds that sur-round it have been tidied, making the building as inviting as the people who organize the events inside.
“I’m pretty proud of the grounds,” said association president Pauline Bullee. “We’ve really worked hard on them.”
Contributions from the Town of Creston and Regional District of Central Kootenay Area B helped pay
the costs of the new paint job and another $5,000 from RDCK Area C was put toward new equipment in the kitchen, including a refrigerator.
“Like any non-profit organization, it’s a struggle to pay the bills,” said association member Karl Zimmerman. “But we somehow always manage.”

Photographer Cheryl Jaggers is in awe of Creston Valley’s beauty and she has used her photographic talent to show others why.
Her newly released coffee table book, aptly titled Creston Valley Beauty, was produced in collaboration with her friend and business col-league, Amber McGregor-Ward.
Jaggers, well-known for her portrait and wed-ding photography, has worked with McGregor-Ward in the past, doing commercial photography for her friend’s public relations projects. Landscape photography is something that just comes natu-rally, Jaggers said last week.
“I’ve never really focused my photography on landscapes — it’s just in me,” she said. “I feel completely privileged that I have this opportu-nity to share the beauty that is around us.”
Jaggers said that the book idea came up about a year and a half ago.
“We realized that Creston didn’t have any-thing like it and I thought, ‘Why shouldn’t it be me who does it?’ ”
“Cheryl actually sees magic everywhere she looks,” McGregor-Ward said. “She seems to see more than what is just there physically.
“Her photographs show another level of appreciation — an understanding that every-thing around us has been created. They help us see things on a different level.”
McGregor-Ward wrote the commentary for the book and also solicited comments from a number of area residents. The comments are sprinkled throughout the book, introducing more voices that concur with Jaggers and McGregor-Ward in their admiration for the area’s beauty.

The Creston group of the Taoist Tai
Chi Society internal arts of health again started beginner tai chi classes this month.
Tai Chi incorpo-rates stretching and turning into a sequence of move-ments to effectively improve the health of body, mind and spirit. Benefits include improved circulation, balance and posture, increased strength and flexibility, and reduced stress. With regular practice, Tai Chi reaches deep inside the body to benefit the entire physiology as well as to restore the calm-ness and peace of mind that is often lost through the desires and anxieties of daily life.
The Taoist Tai Chi Society is a registered charity and this ori-entation is in keeping with the Taoist val-ues of selflessness, compassion and ser-vice to others. For this reason, all instructors are volun-teers and branches operate on a non-profit basis. Members also perform other services within the community and assist other charities when-ever possible.
For more informa-tion, contact Lin Martin at [email protected] or 250-866-5744.
From Sept 19-26, the Tim Hortons
Creston location is once again offering its delicious double-sized smiling chocolate chip cookies in support of the Creston Valley Hospital.
The program is delivered by the Tim Hortons Creston and the Creston Valley Hospital Tuck Shop, which are setting their sights on raising $3,500 for the pur-chase of a vital signs monitor for the local hospital.
Vital signs moni-tors provide critical information about a patient’s state of health. They are a way of quickly assessing how seri-ous an illness is and how well the body is coping with the resulting biological stress. The more unstable the vital signs are, the sicker
the patient is. Vital signs can also mark the state of chronic diseases, such as hypertension.
“It is great to work with the volunteers at the Tuck Shop knowing that the money we raise together will pur-chase something spe-cific for the Creston Hospital,” said Tim Hortons manager Scott Seitz. “The vital signs monitor will be a welcome addition to the hospital and Tim Hortons is very pleased to be able to help that happen,”
The two groups hope to sell 25 cases, which is 3,500 cookies over the one-week selling frenzy.
Cookies can be pur-chased individually, by the half-dozen or dozen or, for the brave of heart, a case of 140 cookies for $140. To pre-order, simply call

BY LORNE ECKERSLEYAdvance Staff
Conflict between resi-dents and snow-clearing contractors has led Creston town council to consider amending its noise bylaw.
The issue came to a head last winter when residents in the Creston Valley Mall area complained about early morning snow plowing of the parking lot. Mall repre-sentatives countered that the lot had to be cleared before early workers parked their vehicles. To be able to keep the lot safe for the public requires it to be completely cleaned after a snowfall. Conflicts also arose over the clearing of other parking lots within the town limits.
Council voted at the Sept. 13 regular meeting to direct staff to undergo consultation by arranging a public forum. It will also consider the licensing of snow-clearing contractors.
Council Briefs•A change in the business
licence cost structure is being considered. Under the cur-rent structure, business licences vary in cost, based on a combination of busi-ness type, floor or ground area used, number of employees, number of rental units and number of vend-ing/dispensing machines on site. Fees range from $40 to more than $100 per licence.
Town staff provided council with information about how other communi-ties licence businesses and an open house will be sched-uled to discuss options that include a restructure of how fees are assessed or moving to a single fee system.
•A public hearing will be scheduled to invite com-ments on the rezoning appli-cation of a 10th Avenue North property owner who wants to subdivide a one-acre parcel into two lots. Four similar properties have been approved for subdivi-sion in the same area.
•Free parking at metered spaces will continue though the end of 2011, giving Council time to consider whether meters should remain or be removed. A three-month summer study that examined parking spot
usage in the downtown core indicated there is no over-crowding of metered or park-ing lot spaces and that there is a low rate of drivers who abuse the two-hour limit in the Cook Street parking lot.
•A revision of bylaws to build on the work done by the Bear Aware program was deferred until the next meet-ing due to the absence of Coun. Wesly Graham, who was in Vancouver on Union of BC Municipality business and Coun. Tanya Ducharme, who was excused for work reasons. The revisions would be put in place to discourage practices that encourage bears to enter properties within town limits.
•Council was presented with the first-ever quarterly report on the activities of the public works department over the summer. Mayor Ron Toyota commented that the report helped council appreciate the many and varied activities that the department undertakes.
•Eighteen building per-mits were issued in August, including seven for new sin-gle-family residences and one for a five-unit strata title development. Building per-mits to date total more than $10.25 million, about $2 mil-lion more than at this time last year.
•A $3,000 contribution was earmarked for the Cops for Kids charitable founda-tion. Each year, members of the RCMP ride bicycles through the southern interi-or of the province to raise funds to support children in crisis in local communities.
•An invitation for the Town of Creston to advertise on an exterior wall at Gleaners was declined.
•Council learned that Gleaners now accepts unwanted cellphones, print cartridges and digital cam-eras, which they turn into cash by sending the items to the Think Recycle Program.
•Staff will seek to get clar-ification on the legal status of the Pioneer Phoenix Restora-tion Society, which received $2,000 in funds to assess the viability of Pioneer Villa for other housing uses. There has been a recent controversy after some members moved to disband the society and have its status as a society rescinded.
Town considers noise bylaw From page 1
The association has a roster of 130 members, down from about 180 at its peak. For only $12 a year, membership is a bargain, allowing for participation in a variety of activities throughout the week. A new sign on the building’s exterior displays an activity schedule.
Scheduled weekly activities include bingo, carpet bowling, darts, crib and others. Pancake breakfasts are held on the last Sunday of each month and crib tournaments are held every couple of months.
“Somebody always gets a booby prize when we play cards,” past-president Harold Standen said. “I wonder who that was last week?”
He laughed as a smiling Bullee leaned over and swatted him on the shoulder.
Bullee said membership is open to anyone over the age of 50.
“But you don’t have to join right away,” she explained. “You are wel-come to come in and try it for a while before you make a decision.”
Standen, a longtime Town of Creston employee and firefighter, said he joined the association “about six or seven years ago”, but Bullee said it has been longer.
“It was something to do,” he said. “My mother was a member and the other members said ‘Come on in.’ Now it’s getting a bit much as I get older but you’ve got to have something to do and this is a good place to do it in.”
Zimmerman and his wife,
Agnes, joined in 1992 when they lived nearby. They have moved twice since, but the centre remains an important part of their lives.
“We like to be active and help wherever we can,” he said. “Agnes volunteers at the Gleaners, too.” (As does Bullee.)
Bullee said she was introduced to the association by a friend short-ly after she moved to Creston.
“We came to play crib and all night long I stayed in one spot (winners move to different tables). I never moved and others started asking me if I wanted a pillow,” she laughed. “I never won one game all night long.”
That experience didn’t deter her, though, and she’s been going back ever since.
“The centre gives you something to do and you meet new people all the time,” she said. “What we do here is just pride and joy to me.”
Standen said that Pastor Harry Haberstock refers to the associa-
tion president as the “Energizer Bullee Bunny” and her enthusiasm explains why. She loves to organize events and is well known for her special dinners.
“We’re planning a Ukrainian din-ner for late October or early November,” she said. “It will open to the public and it will include cabbage rolls, perogies, sauerkraut, turkey, a special beet salad and desserts.”
Bullee has been working recently to involve members of the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors (TAPS) in club activities.
“Pauline never knows when to quit,” Standen said. “She drives me crazy.”
“That’s what keeps you young, Harold,” she grinned.
With their easy camaraderie, Bullee, Standen and Zimmerman make it obvious they love the seniors centre. To learn more about the Creston Valley Seniors Centre, drop in to any of the activities — you will surely feel welcome.
Many activities scheduled weekly
From page 1“The Creston Valley enfolds me
with a feeling of welcoming,” wrote Jan MacDonald Potyok. “Its diverse beauty, its familiar people, its ever-growing and changing community of artists are both peaceful and cre-atively stimulating. There is a rare synergy here I’ve never found anywhere else.”
Rachel Beck’s comment strikes a familiar chord.
“The first time that I saw Creston was after a 10-hour drive from the coast. I was tired, sore and eager to end my journey,” she said. “Then I came upon this magical val-ley and although I had never been here before, I felt I had come home. Fields of yellow dandelions, indigo mountains, and the simmering lights off the Kootenay River creat-ed a breath-taking introduction to this amazing community.”
Creston Valley Beauty “lets the viewer see all these scenes and places at one time,” McGregor-Ward commented. “It’s a collection of emotional experiences.”
As hard as she works to get just the right angle and light for many of
her photographs, Jaggers said some of her favourites were the easiest to capture. One she is especially fond of shows the Skimmerhorn moun-taintops obscured by a shroud of clouds, with a brilliant blue sky above.
“I walked out my door, then turned
right back into the house to get my camera,” she said. “It was one of the most spectacular displays of awesomeness I’ve ever seen. …
“In some places that I have pho-tographed I’ve wondered, ‘What can I do with this?’ In others I’m asking, ‘How can I capture this scene to do it justice?’ ”
Early reaction to the book has been gratifying, McGregor-Ward said.
“I’m totally blown away by compliment after compliment.”
Visitors to the Creston Valley Fall Fair got a first public look at the book. It is now available at Black Bear Books, Kingfisher Used Books, the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce and Pharmasave. McGregor-Ward is selling it from a booth at the Creston Valley Farmers’ Market.
“We will have the book in other tourist places in the spring,” she added.
The book will also be avail-able at the popular Christmas
craft fair — it makes a perfect gift as it is designed to fit in a standard mailing envelope.
“I wanted to produce Creston Valley Beauty because I believe it’s OK to say we are awesome and it’s OK if we overdo that once in a while,” McGregor-Ward said. “This is our way of declaring that Creston is absolutely beautiful. It’s a tool for us to celebrate who we are and where we live.”

Notice of Annual General MeetingCreston and District
Society for Community Living
Tuesday, September 27, 2011Refreshments at 6:30pm
AGM at 7:00pm205 - 7th Avenue North
BY LORNE ECKERSLEYAdvance Staff
Creston’s Mel Joy said on Monday that she will seek a third term on the School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) board of trustees.
Joy has served as the board chair for the past year and currently also chairs the BC Public Schools Employers Association (BCPSEA), which negoti-ates contracts with teachers on behalf of school districts. Teachers have served strike notice and negotiations have been
ongoing since the summer.Joy said that BCPSEA faces a chal-
lenge in negotiations because the pro-vincial government has mandated that it will not provide funds for pay increas-es for teachers.
“But the process is very interesting and educational,” she said. “And the people involved are all good people — they just have different perspectives about what the new contract should look like.”
Local government elections will be held on Nov. 19 and Creston Valley resi-dents will choose members of the school
board, town council and regional dis-trict, depending on where they reside.
In other education news, Creston Valley Teachers Association president Becky Blair said last week that local teach-ers are not withdrawing from volunteer school activities. A quote from SD8 Supt. Jeff Jones in last week’s Advance said they were but his information was incorrect, Blair said. Teachers are only refusing to do administrative work and student activi-ties in the classroom and after school, are continuing as usual.
“We are working hard not to bring
the students into this dispute with the province,” she said.
SD8 chair running again, teachers clarify position
Police cont’d
A friend who regularly takes in garage sales told me recently he always asks people who are obvi-ously moving away why they are leaving. One answer that stuck out in his memory, he said, was a fellow who told him there isn’t enough going on here. Huh?
I heard that story on day three of a stretch of five eve-nings that took us out of our house. I’m a stay-at-home kind of guy, so to get me out the house for that many nights takes a lot.
The streak began on Thursday evening with a very inti-mate, and quite wonderful, concert at the Creston zendo on Regina Street. Those who don’t know better probably assume the building con-structed in the last year is a garage. It is, in fact, a Zen meditation centre, complete with basement accommo-dation for visiting students. The resi-dent monk, Kuya Minogue, and her partner, Rita Scott, are two extraor-dinarily committed Crestonites — they volunteer their time, energy and expertise to numerous organiza-tions and they are also eager to see the zendo used for more than its intended purpose.
About 40 people (Creston’s “A-list”, Kuya joked the next day) took their seats Thursday evening for a concert presented by pianist Audrey Johnston and cellist Sophia Smith. The two have been perform-ing together for a while and, with the opportunity to play in an acous-tically beautiful and intimate room, skipped their usual Prince Charles Theatre venue. Their concert was one that left those in attendance smiling. When Kuya and Rita were in the planning and construction stages of the zendo — it is based on traditional Japanese building meth-ods — they surely couldn’t have foreseen that the building would be put to such a different, and very sat-isfying use.
On Friday night we savoured a meal we had been dreaming of for
several weeks, ever since Kootenay Thai Restaurant owner Anthony Kwan announced a special tasting menu that features eight different Thai dishes and four Baillie-
Grohman Estate Winery selections. We enjoy choosing wine that will enhance the meals we prepare at home but it was a real treat to just sit back and leave the driving to Anthony and his staff. Each of the four wines — Pinot Gris, Gewurz-traminer, Rose and Pinot Noir — worked beautifully with the dishes they accompanied and we left feel-ing like we had been transported to another land for a couple of hours.
Saturday night belonged to the Kings of Kitchener, the popular musical trio that has been wowing audiences at the Wynndel Coffee House and other venues for the last few years. On the occasion of the release of their first compact disk, Mike Mitchell, Neil Ostafichuk and Ted Bryant, scheduled a party in the curling lounge at the community complex. The sold-out venue was abuzz with anticipation. The Kings play an eclectic and highly energetic style of music that ranges from blue-grass to blues to rock and roll. And the group did not disappoint. After a rousing warm-up set by a pair of friends, the trio took to the stage and tore the place apart for the next 90 minutes, keeping toes tapping and bodies swaying for the entire time. Those who attended won’t soon forget the concert.
Since Baillie-Grohman winery started construction, we have got to know owners Bob Johnson and Petra Flaa, and to admire the dedica-
tion with which they have shown in their desire to create the best wines possible in their Erickson winery. A large part of the winery’s early suc-cess can be attributed to winemaker
Dan Barker, who arrived late last week to supervise Baillie-Grohman’s third har-vest and vintage. Barker runs his own business, Moana Park Winery, in New Zealand and has earned a stellar reputation, winning awards in competitions around the world. We visit-ed the Johnson and Flaa home on Sunday night to
welcome Barker back to Creston, where he will be busy in the vine-yard and winery for the next three months. Dan’s wife, Kaylea, accom-panied him on this trip so she could enjoy a bit of a holiday with Dan before she returns home and he gets down to work. Dan’s a giant of a man, very genial and incredibly knowledgeable, and we are lucky to have him ply his trade in Creston for a few months each year.
Our five remarkable evenings wrapped up on Monday night, when we attended the first of eight movie presentations by the Friends of the Cinema, a group I helped found sev-eral years ago. Our first selection for the 2011-2012 season was Cave of Forgotten Dreams, a documentary by Werner Herzog. Herzog was allowed to film in the rarely opened caves because he has a reputation as one of the world’s great filmmakers. The film allowed his audience to experi-ence the Chaudet Cave and its 30,000-year-old artwork, presented with all of the depth of thought which Herzog fans now take for granted. “To call the movie fascinat-ing is akin to calling the Grand Canyon large,” said one reviewer.
Our five-evening odyssey into food, wine, friendship, music and art was satisfying, stimulating, edi-fying. Not enough going on in Creston? Harrumph.

Sept. 21 was designated National Tree Day by the House of Commons. It asks us to spend some time in reflection on the link between trees and our lives.
Around a large part of the country, the beginning of fall is a great time to establish new trees in the landscape. Where we live, the soil in the earth is at its warmest point of the year. Trees, shrubs and perennials are naturally growing more roots at this time and sending their ener-gy into the earth to be stored for the next growing season. I consider the next three or four weeks to be a perfect planting window. Get your new plants in the ground this fall and they will be ready to grow first thing next spring.
Here are some interesting facts about trees being presented for National Tree Day:
•Trees are the longest living organ-ism on the Earth. In North America, the oldest trees are the bristlecone pine found in Utah, living to somewhere in
the range of 4,600 years old.•The tallest trees in the world are
the coast redwoods in California. They can grow to 360 feet tall, about the length of a football field. Creston
has a few impressive redwood trees.•Trees breathe just as we do,
except opposite. We breathe in oxy-gen and breathe out carbon dioxide while trees breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen. Trees help clean the air by intercepting and col-lecting airborne particles and absorb-ing pollutants like carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide.
•Besides providing us with wood, trees can provide us with fruit, nuts,
maple syrup and even medicine. Trees can help reduce the heating
and cooling costs of your home or shop. Deciduous trees planted near buildings provide shade in the sum-
mer and therefore eliminate the need for air conditioning. In winter, the trees have lost their leaves and the sun can shine through, providing warmth to the building. Evergreen trees can be plant-ed around dwellings to act as a windbreak, therefore reduc-ing the wind speed and a building’s heat loss through winter. Shelterbelts around
fields can also help prevent soil ero-sion from the wind in dry areas. Personally, trees are one of the main reasons I moved to this valley. We have the ability to grow such a wide variety of great trees here. They really have contributed to the economic well-being of the valley from the millwork to mining to railroads and agriculture.

Trees contribute to well-being
This is another Lojong slogan that points to how easy, entertaining, and totally distracting it can be to notice and to dwell on what is wrong with every-body else instead of working to see the best in them. This habit of fault-finding is part of a larger pattern of inse-curity in which we feel the need to compare ourselves to others before we can value ourselves. If we love living in a rural setting, we criti-cize people who love living in a big city; if we exercise diligently, we feel superior to those who don’t. It is as though we can con-vince ourselves that we are okay only by comparing ourselves to people who are less OK.
There is an old blues song with the line, “Before you ’cuss me, take a look at yerself.” In Zen mind training, one of the focuses is to take a really good look at the self. Dogen, a thirteenth century Zen master, taught that to study Buddhism is to study the self. But he didn’t quit there. He went on to say that to study the self is to forget the self and that when we forget the self, we become one with everything. This means that when we criticize others, we are criticiz-ing ourselves; when we see virtue in others, we know it in ourselves. When
there is one finger pointing, there are three looking back.
Every path for personal development extols the value of self-examination. Psychotherapists and counselors make millions of dollars helping people to
examine their own nature. But the point of self-examination is not to dwell on our faults — or for that matter, our vir-tues. It is to see self and others in a clear and unbiased way without adding a layer of criticism or admiration.
The point of this slogan is the impor-tance of trusting ourselves without com-paring ourselves to others. It is to loosen the grip on the human tendency to be so fascinated with what is wrong with every-body else that we are unable to see what is right and good about them. One defini-tion of an enlightened person is that they
see Buddha nature wherever they look. Instead of covering up our own faults by highlighting the faults of others, Zen teaches us to do the exact opposite.
Strangely, when we are not afraid to uncover our own flaws without com-
paring ourselves to others, we experience great relief because we no longer have to convince ourselves of anything, and we have nothing to hide from self or others. Practicing this slogan improves relationships because we no longer have the ulterior motive of using what we see to prop up our feelings of superior-ity and virtue.
Suggested practice: As you encounter others in the next two weeks, pay attention to what comes up in your mind. Pay particular attention to the qualities of comparison mind and fault-finding mind. What is the difference between simply seeing a flaw and dwell-ing on it to prop yourself up?
This column is a long series of short essays exploring the meaning of the Lojong Slogans. It is inspired by the work of Judy Lief.

Slogan 26: Don’t ponder others
To the Editor:Regarding Libya: In 1969, while on a
medical visit in Turkey, King Idris of Libya was deposed by a military coup. The monarchy was abolished and the Libyan Arab Republic was proclaimed. Its directions were about unity, social justice and an equitable distribution of wealth. Col. Muammar al-Qaddafi 27 became the chief of state. King Idris went into exile to Egypt, where he lived till his death in 1983 at age 94.
In 1970, the British and American mil-itary bases in Libya were closed, and contracts with foreign oil companies were renegotiated to the benefit of Libya. Even the New York Times lately acknowl-edged that with his increased oil reve-nues, “Qaddafi set about building roads, hospitals, schools and housing.” Most important of all, however, “life expectan-cy, which was 51 in 1969, is now over 74,” an accomplishment that could be achieved only with enormous improve-ments in public health that was delivered widely to the entire population. Besides, Libya has next to no national debt. It had the state owned Central Bank of Libya. These are just a few items that irritated greedy western profiteers.
The U.S./NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) war against Libya did not surprise me. The Anglo-American-Jewish empire, which current-ly runs the world, has developed an action pattern, which, although different-ly disguised for every occasion, is easily recognizable. When the empire wants to rob a victim country — Libya in the pres-ent case — of valuable resources or stra-tegic geography, it enlists the services of the corporate media, which is the main tool for spreading official lies and coverups, and is conveniently owned by the same group that manages world finances. They work together, and the results are always the same. Each new war brings huge profits for the British,
American, and Jewish ruling classes and their hangers-on.
The official reason for war against Libya was to protect Libyan civilians. But this was just a cover; the war is to plunder Libyan oil, gas, water and other resources. The U.S./NATO forces indiscriminately dropped thousands of bombs on cities, towns, power stations, water distribution points, villages, schools, hospitals, media centers, uni-versities, farms, residential areas and public installations of every kind. Countless civilians have been killed and injured, and we are supposed to believe this war is for their protection.
Some people have an opinion about NATO as if it were something morally superior, but it’s just another branch of American military. It is a criminal ter-rorist organization, pretending to be something else. Like our strange prime minister, who is ever ready to support an evil cause, and has sent Canadian military to bomb Libyan homes, killing and maiming children and adults, and who knows very well what this war is about, is now talking as if this evil activity were a harbinger of freedom and prosperity for Libyans. He says, “To this point, notwithstanding the fighting and the loss of life, there is good reason to be optimistic…this is a revolution essentially affected from within. People have overturned a tyrant.” And again, ”Our anticipation is that the military mission will obvi-ously terminate sometime in the future but we’ll first make sure the job is actu-ally finished.” (www.thestar.com)
His words are nothing but ignorant deceptions and lies. Libyans will never have under any western puppet regime what they had during Gaddafi’s rule: subsidized food, water, housing, educa-tion, medical services, and other privi-leges that no other Arabs or Africans have. Libya had the highest standard of living on the entire African continent. Now they will have what you see in Afghanistan or Iraq — chaos, ongoing killing and various religious fanatics running the country.
I am totally disgusted with Canadian politicians, who, with one single exception, all agreed that mur-dering and maiming innocent Libyans and destroying Libyan national assets
is the right thing to do. I am equally disgusted with our religious leaders, who by their silence show their agree-ment with the rich, greedy and evil warmongers.

To the Editor:(Re: “Too many questions for NDP
interim leader”, Sept. 1 Advance, page 7)“Are you or have you ever been a
member of the Bloc Québécois?” is sim-ply playing dirty politics, which doesn’t do anything for Canadian unity.
Yes, Bill, I too have heard it before and it was 1952 at the Canadian immigration office in Germany. I had risked my life and escaped from the Communist/Marxist brutal dictatorship of East Germany. After applying for immigra-tion to Canada, I was asked in the first interview by the official, “Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist party?” I was 23 at the time.
People from all over the world have come here and are still coming to live in a free country and have likely been involved in all kinds of political activi-ties before coming here. We have left our past behind and have become Canadian citizens and contributed to this great country.
Anybody who was living under a dic-tatorship before is likely very sensitive to politicians who try to force their ideology on us and forget that the parliament of Canada belongs to the people of Canada. Brave Canadians have fought and died for freedom in many parts of the world. We owe it to them and to future genera-tions to keep our beloved Canada strong and free. We, the people, have the power to make a real difference and should always strive to create a better communi-ty, a better world.

Thursday, October 6The Creston Valley Advance and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy are partnering on a great new event for Creston.
Reach A Reader
On Thursday, October 6, some of Creston’s highest profi le people will be out on thestreet with our newspaper asking for donations to help support literacy initiatives inour community. Along with your donation we will give you a copy of your communitynewspaper for FREE (plus there might be a few extra promos to go along with that).
Absolutely all funds raised from the day will go towards CBAL and all funds will stay inthe community in which they are raised to support literacy programs in our community.Help Promote Literacy and Lifelong Learning in our Community

Greg Nesteroff photoJohn nykiforuk, seen here with grandson Zander, started a book buddy program aboard his school bus, which earned him a community literacy award this month from the columbia Basin alliance for literacy.
GREG NESTEROFFNelson Star
When school bus driver John Nykiforuk took over the Blewett run outside Nelson a few years ago, the behaviour of some of his young passengers was “well, pretty bad.”
During the up to 45-minute run, boredom would result in disruptive and unruly antics. But one day, Nykiforuk read about a driver in the U.S. with a similarly lengthy route who started a reading program on her bus. After discussing it with the principal, he decided to try it himself.
He provided a box of books, encouraging students to choose one, find a buddy and read together until they reached their stop. It worked: behav-iour improved markedly, with the side benefits of promoting reading and helping older and younger students build friend-ships.
This month Nykiforuk received a Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy commu-nity literacy award, chosen from among 16 Nelson-area nominees. The individuals, businesses, and organizations
were all honoured at a ceremo-ny that coincided with International Literacy Day. (Literacy awards are also pre-sented annually in other com-munities where the alliance is active, although some do it in the spring.)
“All these simple acts of championing literacy make a huge difference in people’s lives,” says Joan Exley, Nelson’s community literacy co-ordina-tor. Nykiforuk, she adds, “found the seed of an idea that has grown into something won-derful.”
Blewett elementary princi-pal Carol-Ann Leidloff says teachers appreciate that Nykiforuk brings students to school ready to learn.
“Sometimes they’re getting on the bus in the morning and they’re tired or grumpy. John’s always got a really friendly word for them,” she says. “So often the kids are off the bus and they’re happy and feeling good about the day. He takes his responsibility as a driver so seriously and does a job beyond what we would expect.”
Now in his third year of the book buddy program, Nyki-
foruk goes to garage sales to buy new books and swaps them out with old ones for variety. The moving library, which start-ed with 10 volumes, is up to 85. Students are also welcome to borrow books.
“It’s certainly helped me out as a bus driver,” Nykiforuk says, noting he no longer has to stop the bus at the side of the road to deal with problems.
But the most rewarding thing he’s witnessed wasn’t related to behaviour.
“A Grade 3 student picked up a book and a Grade 2 stu-dent sat beside her. The Grade 3 student was just flipping through the pages looking at the pictures. The Grade 2 stu-dent said ‘Why don’t you read it?’ She replied, ‘I can’t read.’ The Grade 2 student started reading the book for the Grade 3 student. And it created a bond.”
Nykiforuk has shared the idea with other bus drivers, and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy is talking to him and the school about publishing a book on bus safe-ty, which the kids would work on — and then deposit in their on-board book box.
Books on Nelson bus encourage literacy

NATURE CONSERVANCYOF CANADA
Rising up from the shores of Kootenay Lake, the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s Dark-woods conservation area nur-tures diverse forests, tumbling creeks and a wealth of native plants and animals. This vast mountain property spans 550 square kilometres of rugged for-est lands dotted with dozens of lakes and crowned with snow-capped peaks. Here, a multitude of creatures thrive, including an endangered herd of mountain caribou and a distinct population of grizzly bear.
One of Darkwoods’ unique features is that it contains some of the most diverse forests in British Columbia, including priceless old-growth stands of the vanishing inland temperate rainforest. Because they receive most of their moisture from snow, these “snow forests” are biologi-cally unique, yet we know very little about them. With the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s com-mitment to science-based conser-vation, there is an exciting oppor-tunity to expand our understand-ing about one of the world’s rar-est ecosystems.
The forests of Darkwoods can also be celebrated for a wealth of functions they provide to the local communities. The forests help protect water quality in the
region by acting as a purifying filter to the water that flows through the property into Kootenay Lake. Darkwoods is also a highly valued part of the wilderness backyard in the Kootenays, especially to those
who use it for recreation and resources.
Since purchasing the proper-ty in 2008, the Nature Conservancy of Canada has conducted an extensive survey of the land, documenting the
plants, animals and natural communities that are found within Darkwoods. The organi-zation has released a manage-ment plan for Darkwoods that outlines the long-term activities and stewardship priorities. The
plan balances conservation, limited resource use and public recreation so that Darkwoods will remain a natural treasure for now and forever.

The Creston Valley Thunder Cats let their inexperience get the better of them on the weekend when they lost the first two games of the 2011-2012 season to the Kimberley Dynamiters.
With several of last season’s top perform-ers having aged out of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, about seven returned to the team, with added newcomers making up a very “young team”, according to head coach and general manager Brent Heaven.
Still, the Thunder Cats might have won Friday’s game — their home opener — if the team kept up its initial effort.
“I think the boys came out with a lot of energy,” said Heaven. “We definitely were playing within our systems. As the game got going, Kimberley got a little more involved.”
Creston outshot Kimberley 12-3 in the first period, which resulted in a score of 1-1, thanks to goals by Creston’s Jovi Fabbri and Kimberley’s Jared Marchi.
Kimberley dominated shooting in the second period, but Creston veteran Scott Swiston scored after six minutes, followed by Kimberley’s Colton Vannucci five min-utes later.
Heaven said the game’s focus turned ver-bal as the game progressed. The Thunder Cats managed to outshoot Kimberley 18-11 in the third period but the Thunder Cats’ only goal by Andrew Hodder was sandwiched between goals by two Kimberley goals, result-ing in a score of 4-3 for the visitors.
Heaven was pleased by the efforts of some players, including Swiston and 16-year-old Tre Potskin.
“They really stepped up to show they’re good players,” he said.
Saturday’s game, played in Kimberley, resulted in the first casualty of the season, goalie Daimon Derouin, who was let go fol-lowing a 15-5 defeat in Kimberley.
“I think goaltending was a big issue for us,” said Heaven. “It was deflating for the players because they were working their butts off.”
Thunder Cats Brandon West and Brock Ward scored in the first period, which ended in Kimberley’s favour with a score of 3-2. After seven Kimberley goals in the second period, Potskin scored, followed by an eighth second-period Dynamiters goal. Swiston and Potskin started the third-peri-od scoring, but three more Kimberley goals followed.
Derouin was pulled and replaced by backup goalie Colton Wardrop, who, Heaven noted, also struggled to keep up to the Kimberley players. Another goalie was slated to arrive this week to beef up the Thunder Cats presence in net.
“Hopefully, he’s going to be able to come in and battle no matter what,” said Heaven. “Obviously, I haven’t had that yet. I really haven’t had anybody step into forefront to show he’s going to be the guy.”
Because it’s early in the season, Heaven said more changes are in store.
“I’m going to do everything I can to make sure we have awinning team on the ice,” he said. “I’m looking for a great team, not a good team. Until I can find guys will-ing to carry the load, I’m going to continue to look.”
This weekend, the Thunder Cats play two Eddie Mountain Division rivals, host-ing the Golden Rockets on Friday before
travelling to Invermere to take on the Columbia Valley Rockies on Saturday.
“I’m definitely excited,” said Heaven. “I think what happened on the weekend here is in the past, and we’re now moving for-ward.
“At the same time, we’re going to battle a lot harder than last weekend, and hope we come out of it with a couple of wins.”

IT’S ELEMENTARY!
BY ANTHONY GORHAMCanyon-Lister Elementary School
The things I learned in DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) are that alcohol is bad for your brain and other parts of your body. I also learned that tobacco has more than 200 known poisons. The DARE program also taught me that smoking can cause lung cancer.
The DARE program will helped me to not drink beer/alcohol when I’m older because I
could lose self-control. If a person drinks too much beer it can slow down his or her body and lead to a coma and/or death. Alcohol is a depressant drug and it slows down part of the brain that affects thinking.
I will not be stupid and listen to lies that beer is good for me. It’s bad for me because I could go into a coma and die. People who sell drugs and tobacco only want my money and don’t care about me.

I paid the delivery man from Pizza King, and closed the door. I placed the large pizza box on the table and called my friends into the kitchen for supper.
But as I opened the box, I didn’t find the pepperoni pizza I had ordered. Instead, there was a giant mass of foul smelling purple goo!
As I stared at it in disbelief, it slowly started to ooze over the sides, and onto the table that my friends and I were sitting at. We all jumped back from the table, franti-cally searching for something to contain it with.
Then I spotted a big garbage bin beside the sink, but as I ran towards the table to catch the goo, I realized I was too late. All of the purple goo had spilled from the Pizza King deliv-
ery box onto the white carpet that me and my friends were standing on.
Before I could do anything, or even say anything, goo quickly started to sink down, into the car-pet, soon disappearing altogether. My friends and I stared at it in total shock as it disappeared. Pretty soon you couldn’t tell it was ever there.
That night, after my friends had left, I was in the basement watching TV, when I happened to look up at the ceiling, and jumped up in surprise! I saw a huge purple stain on the roof, which I had definitely not seen before. I hardly slept all night, but when I woke up the next morning, the purple stain had completely disappeared!
That afternoon, as I sat down to read the newspaper, the headline caught my attention. It read: “Giant Purple Goo Monster Swallows Local Woman!”
I never went to Pizza King again!

Canyon-Lister Elementary School is a great place. We have a lot of nice teachers who care about us and we just got a new music teacher. We even have students from Korea!
Our school has a huge play area where we play a lot of sports. We are very active and we do a fun run every Tuesday. We also do a lot of fundraisers to build a playground for School No. 121 in Chile. If we are hungry we can get delicious food from the breakfast program. We go on cool field trips like skiing at Whitewater and visiting the Kokanee Creek. That's why every-body loves CLES!
BY EMMA PENNERAt Canyon-Lister Elementary
School, we are already getting involved in many fundraisers.
We bake goodies to sell by dona-tion and some of us sell freezies on Fridays to raise money for a school playground in Chile.
We also have bake sales to raise money for Streams of Dreams. We are going to buy carved wooden fish which will be put on the fence of Centennial Park to remind peo-ple to not contaminate the water which ends up in the wetlands, lakes and rivers.
We like being part of a school who thinks and helps others and is aware of the environment.
CLES a great school

This past summer’s extra moisture and cool start produced a later than usual bumper crop of late-blooming wildflowers. Many plants that had not bloomed in previous dry years were “resurrected” into robust seed producing plants. Some of my favourite plant species were no exception.
In early August, I came upon what seemed larger groups and colonies of those plants that live without chlorophyll. For the most part they thrive best in shade or partial shade and can do that because they do not directly depend on sun-light to obtain nourishment. Chlorophyll enables plants to manufacture their own food, resulting in green foliage. On the contrary, plants without chlorophyll obtain their nourishment from decaying plant matter. We call them sapro-phytes.
Indian pipe seems to grow best in almost total shade. I find it most often in dark evergreen for-est. Its pallid white cast contrasts sharply to the

drab, dark forest floor. The eight-inch stalk produces a single flower that faces down initially but later, when containing mature seeds, faces upward. Indian pipe plants usually appear in tight groups that pop up all over a favoured area of forest flower. If unacquainted with Indian pipe, because it is not green, one might think it is some sort of
mushroom. It is often found grow-ing in mushroom’s favourite haunts. Indian pipe has given rise to the name of the small family to which it belongs — the Indian pipe family. This few-membered family also includes candy stick, cone plant (gnome plant), and pine sap (many-flowered Indian pipe).

Introducing Dr. Emma Davis to our practice - she will work part time doing mixed veterinary work and has a special interest in Equine Medicine.“I grew up in Castlegar, did my Bachelor of Science in agriculture at the U of A in Edmonton, majoring in Animal Science and went to the WCVM for my DVM; graduating this year. My greatest passion in life has been horses since my earliest memories. I bought my fi rst horse, Pazzaz who I still have today, when I was 11 and later got my second horse, Heart. I also have 2 family dogs, a rabbit, a Devon Rex cat and some recently adopted barn cats. I have ridden many disciplines but mostly ride dressage these days. Other interests include dirt biking, painting/drawing, cars, and I am a huge Canucks fan.”

From page 14Another flower personality, living
without chlorophyll that aids a plant in manufacturing its own food, is pine drops. There seemed to be more than usual numbers of pine drops this sum-mer. I came upon a colony of this tall plant spire that must have included a hundred plants. There must have been lots of decaying organic matter in this niche. Each reddish stalk bore up to 50 flowers. Many single spires were over three feet tall. One past spring, I found a dried stalk from the previous year that was five feet in height. Pine drops are most easily found in partial or dappled shade on northeast-facing woodland slopes where adequate moisture is available. In this kind of neighbour-hood, fairy slipper, a pink-flowered orchid, may also be found (keep that secret).
Some of the orchids are saprophytes. (Is that a new word for you?) Colonies of striped coral root, belonging to the orchid family, were also abundant in early August. Along with spotted coral root and northern coral root (yellow coral root), the striped has that classic orchid-like flower. Our forests contain a significant number of orchids that do their best in partial shade, which is get-ting hard to come by.
In one loose group of shade-loving striped coral root I found there were about 30 plants. Both this orchid and the spotted coral root have red, pink and/or white in the flowers. In the striped, the top of the flower is striped,
and in the spotted, the lower lip has red spots on white.
Last spring, we visited the broom-rape, which has a unique flower, and its habit. It does depend on other plants, living plants like large-leaved alum and Indian paintbrush, but since its food is living, the broomrape is para-sitic, like some orchids.
Thanks for letting me introduce you to Indian pipe and some plants that share its neighbourhood and food source — decaying plant matter.

Thursday, September 22, 2011 Creston Valley Advance24 www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca
BY BRIAN LAWRENCEAdvance Editor
If you think you have what it takes to be a champion arm wrestler, then you may want to take part in King of the Kootenays, an arm wrestling competition that will be held on Oct. 8 at the Creston and District Community Complex.
Hosted by the Creston Arm Sport arm wrestling club, the second annual King of the Kootenays will determine the Kootenays’ best arm wrestlers in four men’s weight categories, as well as wom-en’s and youth. The entry fee is $20 per arm per class for men, $10 per arm for women and $5 per arm for youth.
The contest offers spectators and par-ticipants a lot of action without the gore found in many other sports.
“It’s a full contact sport where you’re not going to injure yourself,” said Adam Koenig, who founded Creston Arm Sport. “You go up, you fight with a guy and walk away without bruises.”
Eight local members meet weekly to practice, which paid off at the provincial tournament held in Kelowna in July, when Creston Arm Sport members earned 12 trophies, and Koenig placed second in his division. He will compete at King of Kootenays in a super match (best of five) against Damien Luxon who placed third.
“It’s a bit of a grudge match,” admitted Koenig.
Anthony Dall’Antonia, a member of the Vancouver Arm Wrestling Club, who has competed across Canada, the U.S. and Japan, will referee the competition. International competitor Dave Hicks, also from Vancouver, may join him.
For arm wrestling enthusiasts, particu-larly those in rural areas, the chance to have top pullers present at the competi-tion is a big deal.
“That’s the beauty of arm wrestling,” said Koenig. “It’s not a big money sport yet. You can meet and hang out with the champions.”
Koenig said his fundraising efforts for
the tournament have met with success, and he appreciates the support from local busi-nesses. The proceeds from last year’s tour-nament allowed him to buy team jersey’s for the summer provincial championship.
And he hopes that this year’s tourna-ment encourages others to get involved, and then watch the best of the best at the nationals in Vancouver in 2012.
“There’s an opportunity to really expe-rience the sport at an elite level close to home,” said Koenig.
For more information about Creston Arm Sport, which offers free drop-in sessions, search on Facebook or contact Adam Koenig at 250-431-8305. For more information on arm wrestling in B.C., visit www.vancouverarmwrestling.com.
