INCREDIBLE JOURNEY — Lori Wikdahl (centre) completed a journey on Tuesday afternoon, having walked 40,007 kilometres (the circumference of the Earth at its poles) since she was diagnosed with

multiple sclerosis in 2002. She started the 4.5 billion-step trek in 2003 by walking across Canada in 287 days — the first woman in Canada to do so. The ribbon at the reception was held by Regional District of Central Kootenay Area C director Larry Binks (left) and Dave St. Germain.

Property values see slight decrease from 2012 BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

TODAY'S WEATHER

Property owners in the Creston Valley and East Shore shouldn’t be in for much of a surprise when they open their 2013 assessment notices this week. “Assessments in the Kootenay Lake

area have decreased modestly from the 2012 assessment roll,” said Dennis Hickson, deputy assessor for BC Assessment, from his office in Nelson. “For example, a typical single family home in Creston that was valued at $277,000 for the 2012 assessment roll is valued at $267,000 for the 2013 assessment

In Kaslo, a single family home that was valued at $186,000 for the 2012 assessment roll is valued at $179,000 for 2013.” Creston area owners of commercial and industrial property can expect assessments in the plus- or minus-five per cent range, he added.

Property values From page 1 The Town of Creston’s total assessment roll value dropped by about two per cent from 2012 values, moving from $708 million to $694 million. The total value of rural property around Creston and Kaslo, including the East Shore of Kootenay Lake, dropped from $2.2 billion to $2.1 billion. Property assessments are calculated to reflect the market value as reflected in sales. Property owners who have concerns about their assessments have the opportunity to request further information and to challenge the values. “Property owners who feel that their property assessment does not reflect market value as of July 1, 2012, or see incorrect information on their notice should contact our office as indicated on their notice as soon as possible in January,” Hickson said. “If a property owner is still concerned about the assessment after speaking to one of our appraisers, they may submit a notice of complaint (appeal) by Jan. 31, for an independent review by a property assessment review panel.” The property assessment review panels, independent of BC Assessment, are appointed annually by the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, and meet between February 1 and March 15 to hear formal complaints. The Nelson/Trail BC Assessment office is located at 502 Victoria Street in Nelson. During January, office hours are 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday to Friday. Property owners can contact BC Assessment at 1-866-valueBC (1-866-8258322) or at www.bcassessment.ca, which also offers more information about the 2013 Assessment Roll, including lists of 2013’s top most valuable residential properties across the province. New for 2013, property owners can also visit the website for an online customer service survey, available until Jan. 31.

Wellness team adds new members BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

In the year since Joanne Gailius and Michelle Mayer joined forces on the top floor of Family Practice medical clinic, they have moved steadily toward their vision of creating a multi-disciplinary wellness team of professionals. Gailius, a physiotherapist, and Mayer, a chiropractor, have worked to offer a full suite of services to their patients, adding a measure of convenience to a holistic approach to health and well-being. While each practitioner operates a separate business (the office carries the business names of the founders — Core Chiropractic Creston and Joanne Gailius Physiotherapy), they work under a single umbrella that is co-ordinated by office manager Autumn Yesh, who brings with her years of experience at the tourist information centre. (“We’re nominating her for sainthood,” Gailius laughed.) “Michelle and I talk a lot about excellence,” Gailius said. “Each of the disciplines in this group is like a tool in a carpentry belt. Our focus is on having highly ethical, highly skilled co-practitioners.” Gailius, with many years of experience as a physiotherapist, has now completed four years of training that allow her to focus on pelvic physiotherapy — incontinence in both sexes, chronic pelvic pain, sexual dysfunction and pelvic organ prolapses — pre- and postnatal patients included.

“It is so brilliant to see people get better so quickly,” she said. Mayer, who provides ongoing chiropractic care for all ages, specializes in prescription orthotics, as well. And this spring she will begin certification in upper cervical, or neck, work through the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (NUCCA). “It’s very exciting,” she said. “Currently people are going to Calgary, Lethbridge or Kelowna for this treatment. Soon we can offer it locally.” “Norm (Eisler) just walked into our office about six months ago,” Gailius smiles. “He has been a great addition to our team.” Eisler, a registered massage therapist, provides deep tissue massage, craniosacral therapy, muscle energy technique and therapeutic exercise. He brings 10 years of experience to the job, which enables him to tailor therapy to each individual need. “I wanted to make a move to the Kootenays,” he said. “It’s a really good fit for our family here.” Eisler added that his philosophy is to “empower people to take care of their own health.” Michelle Ares brings her knowledge in exercise and training to the group. She is a personal trainer who specializes in exercise therapy. Her colleagues refer clients who need to gain strength and functional movement and she adds a cardiovascular component to exercise for those who need it. “If people are weak in certain areas, perhaps coming back from an injury, I can help,”

she said. Ares sees clients in their homes, or meets up with them at a gym or in the office. “I really enjoy complex challenges,” she admits. Yet another team member, Sangeun Riehl, is currently in her final year of the acupuncture program at the Academy of Oriental Sciences in Nelson. A Creston resident since 2007, Riehl plans to begin her full acupuncture practice in 2014, following graduation and licensing exams. She is very well educated, already holding a double major in political science and social studies education from Chonbuk National University in her native Korea. She looks forward to taking on a full patient load here in the Creston Valley, where her husband, Chris, grew up. Gailius speaks warmly about the variety of medical services and specialties available locally, and of the co-operation among practitioners. Until Core Chiropractic has an additional physiotherapist and with an increased emphasis on pelvic work, she often finds herself referring patients to Creston Physioworks and More. “This is a happy place,” Gailius said. “There really is no pecking order,” Mayer added. For more information about the services offered at Core Chiropractic, call 250-428-8424 or 250-402-2044. The team’s Facebook page, Core Chiropractic Creston and Joanne Gailius Physiotherapy, regularly posts information of interest to patients.

Unsuccessful break-in attempts reported to RCMP BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Creston RCMP responded to 56 calls for service from Dec. 31-Jan. 6, Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan said on Monday. December 31 •No entry was gained in a break-in attempt to a residence on Highway 21. •Two people wearing balaclavas had similar success when they attempted to cut a lock and gain entry to a semitrailer on Erickson Road. They fled when an employee noticed their activity. •An injured deer on Highway 3 in Erickson had to be dispatched. •Police were called to an assault involving two females on Cook Street, but the victim would not co-operate in laying charges. •Objectionable graffiti was painted on business sign located on Crawford Street. •Called to a 36th Street residence where a young male was causing problems, police transported him to another location. •Police received the first of a half-dozen 911 calls that could not be traced to their source. •A male who was kicked off the Greyhound bus because he was intoxicated decided not to let New Year’s Eve pass without going to a party. He found

one and entered, uninvited. Police were called to help deal with the unwanted guest, who had already been popped in the nose for his behavior. January 1 •A male was arrested at his Centre Road residence after assaulting his two sons. He was arrested and released on the condition that he not return to the residence. He did so anyway and was once again arrested. He was then held in cells until a court appearance. •Two apparently abandoned and malnourished dogs were taken from a 19th Avenue residence and placed in the care of the Pet Adoption Welfare Society. •An intoxicated female found walking on Birch Street was arrested for her own safety and held in cells until sober. •Police were called to a Centre Road disturbance where a 17-year-old male bit his fouryear-old brother, who had hit him with the TV remote. •Police are investigating a possible assault involving intoxicated participants on 36th Avenue North. •A minor two-car collision was reported on Russell Avenue in Riondel. January 2 •A 911 call was traced to a Canyon-Lister Road residence, where the phone owner attributed the call to pocket dialing.

January 3 •An Evans Road resident reported loud screams early in the morning, but police could find no source. •Harassing phone calls were reported at a Highway 3 residence. •A vehicle went off Highway 21 and rolled over, sending the driver to the hospital for a checkup. •An iPhone was lost on Dale Street. •Upon investigation, an assault complaint from 38th Avenue was determined to be unfounded. •A Canyon-Lister Road resident reported threats. •A vehicle parked in a Riverview Road driveway was hit by another vehicle, which then drove off. January 4 •When police were called to an assault complaint on Elm Street, they found the intoxicated female resident to be in contravention of court condition. She was arrested and held for a court appearance. •An eastbound five-ton truck clipped a parked vehicle’s door when the driver opened it. The driver continued on, possibly unaware of the incident. •Quick action by a fellow snowmobiler might have saved the life of a man who was found

pinned beneath his machine. Police say the victim wasn’t breathing when his snowmobile was pulled away, but he was resuscitated with CPR and taken to hospital, where he was reported to be in good condition. •No injuries were reported when a vehicle went off Highway 3/95 in icy conditions. January 5 •Police were called to residences on Cedar Street and Cory Road about child custody disputes. •The ongoing saga of an Erickson Road neighbours’ dispute continued with one reporting that the other had thrown a rock that landed

on his vehicle’s snow-covered roof. No damage was reported. January 6 •About 18 people gathered at the Kingsgate border crossing to stage an Idle No More protest. The event was without incident. •An Elsie-Holmes Road resident complained that stray dogs got into his garbage and attacked his own dogs. The resident was informed there is no dog bylaw in that area of the Regional District of Central Kootenay, limiting police options in such situations. •A child custody dispute was reported on Birch Street.

Best singer contest starting next week BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor In about two months, the 2013 winner of Creston’s Best Singer will be named — but it will take four shows before that happens. This time around, the contest kicks off with a youth division for ages 14 and under on Jan. 17 at the Prince Charles Theatre, with the top three moving on to compete against singers over 14 in the semifinal on Feb. 14. As with previous contests, the first 150 audience members through the doors at those and the Jan. 31 quarterfinal will be able to vote for their favourite singers. “It really makes the audience feel like they’re part of the show,” said producer Vern Gorham. For the March 7 final, Gorham will bring in out-of-town judges to determine the winners, the top two of whom will go on to compete in the Kootenays’ Best Singer contest in June. The winner of that contest will receive $1,000, time in a record-

ing studio and the opportunity to sing at both the Kaslo Jazz Festival and Castlegar’s Kootenay Festival. As with the 2011-2012 season, Gorham has been busy bringing the contest to other towns as a benefit for their schools, most recently having Nelson’s L.V. Rogers Secondary School organize the Nelson’s Best Singer audition night. Plans for a local elementary school to organize Creston’s youth division contest didn’t work out this year, but Gorham hopes to get one on board for 2014. There is still time for singers to sign up for the youth or adult divisions, and Gorham is looking forward to having the talent perform for the audience. “The top winners from the semifinals will move on to the finals, where they sing two songs,” said Gorham. “So it’s possible to hear your favourite singer four times.” All of the shows start at 7 p.m.; advance tickets are available at Kingfisher Used Books and Black Bear Books.

Thunder Cats lose two, Peewees win four win one on Okanagan trip games, midgets tie BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

The Creston Valley Thunder Cats won one out of three games on the weekend, earning two points that kept them just ahead of last place in the Eddie Mountain Division of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. They won the final game of a three-game road trip, in which they lost to the Osoyoos Coyotes and Princeton Posse before beating the Penticton Lakers 4-2. “We played extremely well,” said head coach Josh Hepditch of Friday’s 3-2 overtime loss in Osoyoos. “We had plenty of opportunities to score.” After a scoreless first period, Jaiden Ward and Trevor Hanna scored for the Thunder Cats in the second, with the Coyotes matching their goals in the third, sending the game into overtime, which lasted just over three minutes before Coyote Garrett Kucher scored the game winner. “We had a bad break at the end of the game,” said Hepditch. “The puck hopped over our defenceman’s stick and they went down and took advantage of it.” Injuries, sickness and one suspension played a role in the game’s outcome. “We were quite short on numbers, so it was a good effort, for sure,” he said. In Princeton the following night, the Posse scored four goals in the first period, one in the second and one in the third before Trevor LeBlanc scored the Thunder Cats’ first on a power play at 15:48. The Posse scored their seventh on a power play, followed by the Thunder Cats’ second goal, also on a power play, scored by Tyler Akeroyd. “We had a terrible first period and they took

full advantage of it,” Hepditch said. “We came out to play and they really hammered us. … We had a disallowed goal in the second period that could have turned things around.” It could have been worse, though, but goalie Zach Straza stopped 35 Princeton shots over the course of the game. Sunday’s victory over the Penticton Lakers was an important one for the Thunder Cats — they now have 32 points, just two ahead of the Columbia Valley Rockies, who sit at the bottom of the division. “Those were two points we really needed to get,” said Hepditch. “It was a really good character win by the guys in the lineup.” Just 15 skaters suited up for the game, but after two Penticton goals in the first period, the Thunder Cats scored three times in the second period and once in the third, with Matti Jmaeff earning a hat trick. “They gave everything they had left in their tank and found way to get two points for us,” said Hepditch. This weekend, the Thunder Cats will take on the Castlegar Rebels — the second-ranked team in the Neil Murdoch Division — in Castlegar on Friday and Creston on Saturday. “They’re a tough opponent,” said Hepditch. “We’re going have to play an extremely good game to compete with those guys.” This late in the season, there is more on the line than simply winning — falling behind the Rockies now could ruin the Thunder Cats’ chances for post-season action. “That’s going be an important weekend for us,” Hepditch said. “We need to get all the points we can get to stay in the playoff picture.” Joan Fahselt.

CRESTON VALLEY MINOR HOCKEY ASSOCIATION

The Creston peewee Chiefs had a busy schedule of games over the holidays. On Dec. 23 at home, the Chiefs beat Elk Valley 7-0, with scoring shared by all. At home on Dec. 29, the Chiefs beat Cranbrook T3 2-0, with a lucky goal by Ty Gudjonson and an empty-netter by Matthew Hills making the difference. On the road on Dec. 30 the Chiefs lost 3-2 to Castlegar in the battle of the Kootenays’ top teams. They played a better second half of the game, with great goaltending by James Porter Jr., which gave the locals a chance to tie or even win this game. On Jan. 5 at home, the Chiefs beat Cranbrook T4 7-1, with scoring shared by all. The next day, Elk Valley lost 7-0 to the Chiefs, and all players chipped in with points. Overall the Chiefs are playing strong with many shutouts lately. They look forward to the second half of the season, and to the

two West Kootenay tournaments in the next month they will be attending. The team is right where it needs to be, but it has areas to work on and needs to sharpen up its offensive game. ••• The Creston midget Chiefs played against Cranbrook on Sunday for a 2-2 tie at the John Bucyk Arena. The first period was scoreless with the two teams battling it out with plenty of good checks. Creston dominated the second period with two goals from veteran Josh Samuels assisted by Nick Mottl and Keiran Simpson. Will Caspers’ netminding was his best of the season. A big push by Cranbrook in the third period led to a Cranbrook goal by their captain. The Chiefs were playing hard but could not keep out another goal by the Cranbrook captain in the final five minutes. Creston took many shots at the Cranbrook netminder but ended up settling for one point. The Chiefs will play against Cranbrook again at a Cranbrook tournament later this month.

Looking for the positive

For the entire five-and-a-half hours of Les Troyens, and the twohour drive back home from Coeur d’Alene afterwards, we were captivated and awestruck by Saturday’s dazzling opera production from the Metropolitan Opera. Later, when we were home, some reading about the production got me thinking about how much a role attitude plays in one’s enjoyment of life. Les Troyens, with music and lyrics by Hector Berlioz, tells the story of the Trojan War and the years following. It is a production of epic proportions, with a chorus of 110 singers (the Met had to add 30 voices to its usual chorus) and many dancers complementing the cast and orchestra. Only a few opera houses and companies in the world are large enough to do the sprawling story justice. During the behind the scenes interviews in an intermission mention was made of the lead tenor, New Orleans native Bryan Hymel, who replaced the original singer in December. Hymel was wonderful and I later went to the Internet to find out what had happened to force the Met to bring him in from Europe only a couple of days before he went on stage. It turns out that he replaced Marcello Giordani, one of the world’s great tenors after Giordani dropped out from the extremely demanding role of Aeneas, vowing never to sing it again. Twenty years ago, Placido Domingo did the same thing.

Mostly, I suppose, it’s a perceived way of getting value. “I’m paying for it and I want it to meet my expectations.” But is that really value, or is just a way of putting oneself into the story? We take quite the opposite approach. When we make the choice to take in a musical performance, or watch a movie, or go to dinner, or travel to new environs, or visit an art show or gallery, we are also deciding that we want to Lorne Eckersley enjoy ourselves, to get an experience that adds to our lives.

Care workers cheerful, professional To the Editor: Recently I had the opportunity while helping a dear friend who receives care in her home to observe the quality of home care she receives from our local care workers. These people are amazing. They are cheerful, patient, kind and professional. Every home they go into is, of course, different. Every situation requires specific care and careful decision-making. They bustle around taking care of every detail and offering to do whatever is needed. They work hard and do it with smiles and laughter although I know the job must be at times, challenging. Years ago, I watched the same attitude and professionalism as my mother received care in her home and later in mine. One would think that with the economy taking a downturn there would have to be a diminishment in the level of quality of care these workers provide. But not so. These individuals are taking it upon themselves to make sure their care recipients are getting smiles, love and the best of attention. I hope the system continues to treat them with the same care they are offering to others. They certainly deserve it. This Christmas, I saw angels. Pat Martin Canyon

Critique of poem based on facts To the Editor: While not wanting to rehearse the history of the First World War, in a letter of Nov. 29, John Jorgenson took issue with an article in the Nov. 8 Advance that cited John McCrae’s In Flanders Fields and historian Paul Fussell’s critique of the third stanza, where Fussell argues that it was a propaganda against a negotiated peace. Jorgenson goes on to incriminate Fussell as a “depraved historian who never went to war nor could comprehend what life was like in muddy trenches with bullets being fired night and day.” Nothing could be further from the truth. First, In Flanders Fields was indeed a work of propaganda, used by the Unionist party in the next Canadian federal election to encourage people to spend their last dollars on Union war bonds. It also caused riots across the country, and almost split it. Second, the item was also a work of poetry in the tradition of late medieval and Victorian England, where the poppy was a badge of dead sol-

diers and popularized by writers as Lord Tennyson and Oscar Wilde whom McCrae had read. The poppy in these works was also a badge of homoerotic love. Third, Fussell (who died last winter) was no ordinary historian. He was a great man whom I had the pleasure of meeting years ago, and who was a decorated war hero: He enlisted in 1943 at age 19, fought in the infantry on the fields of France, was wounded at Alsace, and decorated with the Bronze Star and Purple Heart. He dedicated his life to writing about the history of warfare because he had witnessed its tragedies firsthand. Writing in the era of the Vietnam War, his view that most wars were caused by politics and ideology for the glory of leaders still holds today (we could add race and religion). The impact of war on death — and physical and mental disability — upon the human race is a tragic fact of life, and Fussell devoted his career to exposing its causes and results.

World’s end will come at God’s time To the Editor: Welcome to 2013! Many people thought we would not make it, but I was pretty sure it would come. I have read the Holy Scriptures and it says “you will not know the day or the hour,” so I pretty much know that if someone says it’s going to end on a certain day, you can take it to the bank that it won’t happen on that day. So, like the Y2K scare and other doomsday prophets, someone somewhere is getting a great chuckle for some people’s gullible nature. But the question is still out there: When is the world going to end? If you ask New Agers, they believe that the world is just now beginning, and we are now entering a time of enlightenment through the constellation of Aquarius; by the way, scientists agree to disagree on its existence. Many of these same people believed that we were going to be invaded by aliens from the planet Niburu, on or about Dec. 21. Many others believed that the U.S. and British intelligence were going to wage the Third World War on this magical day. Or Christ was going to return. Or God was going to destroy us. So now, are we just gullible “sheeple”? Is there really a bunch of elitists that run everything, through corporations and legislation? Are these same elitists in charge of money and taxes throughout the world? If so, what do they believe? Where do you fit in? Do the Georgian Guidestones exist? Does Illumicorp exist? Was Benjamin Franklin really the saint that he is made out to be? Are the end time prophecies that the Holy Scriptures talk about relevant for today? Will the end days be more like Nazi Germany, where only those with the right colour of skin and right attitude make the cut?

Or are the New Agers right — have we entered a new beginning? Or are the Holy Prophecies correct — will we need to submit to the one and only God, creator of the heavens and the Earth? Time will eventually tell the story, although be aware of what we are putting our faith in. We are not anonymous. Bill Dyck Creston

Québécois leader lacks credibility To the Editor: I am writing this letter to express my displeasure with the young people of Quebec. I was appalled to witness the desecration of our national flag. I find it does not take a great amount of brain to do this idiotic thing, trampling our national flag. I would venture to say that not all of “La belle province” of Quebec’s citizens act as stupid as the few discontent renegades who show their lack of mental capability. I saw the writing on the wall when they chose to elect a party known to be separatist. That female, Pauline Marois, lacks credibility to be the head of her party. Take a look at the news — it has already begun. They have legislated to abolish the use of English in business advertising and so on. They have chosen that route; why don’t we do the same and have English spoken in Parliament? I seem to recall on my many trips to Quebec, especially the Montreal industrial district, manufacturers, breweries, bottling and clothing was advertised in two languages. In my estimation, it will only lead to a big chaotic mass, resulting in hurting our fragile economy. Let’s go back away, when René Lévesque was premier of Quebec. We prevailed in defeating the separatists then. If the issue ever comes up again, I assure you we have enough levelheaded voters to win. Richard Lawrence Cote Creston

Winter is documentary film time To the Editor: Now that winter hibernation has set in, there is plenty of time to watch a documentary film. A complete section of shelves full of docs is available at Video Express here in Creston. This great selection has an array of topics to interest everyone, which we are fortunate to have available — a refreshing opportunity for alternative viewing. Linda Tompkins Creston
