The northwest corner of 10th Avenue North and Pine Street will be much livelier this summer with the installation of a second Make Music With Me piano. After the approval of town council at the April 14 meeting, the Creston Rotary Club is in the process of turning an anonymously donated piano into a work of art, with the help of artist Brandy Hunt. From the Creston Valley Blossom Festival through the summer months both pianos will be available for anyone to play when they feel inspired. “We are inviting members of the public to paint designated

New Hi Neighbour hostess greeting newcomers BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

For decades, the Hi Neighbour Welcome Service has greeted newcomers to the Creston Valley — and newcomers are now being greeted by... another newcomer. New hostess Wendy Seifert and her husband moved to Creston about six months ago, leaving High River, Alta., where their home was damaged in the 2013 flood, and the city wouldn’t allow them to move back in. She and her husband did some research online, and also considered moving to Salmon Arm or Chase. “We like small towns, and prefer a close-knit community,” said Seifert. The community seemed like a good fit, and the scenery was also a factor, so the couple came to town last fall. The former interior designer—she was interested all her life and had her own window covering store from 1999-2009 — started to get involved right away, joining the Creston Art Club, where she paints with watercolours and

traffic driving by, I think, so this location is ideal,” Hunt said. The piano will be mounted on a platform to be placed on town property on the corner. It, as well as the original piano, will be protected by a new commercially made shelter with clear sides and a roof to keep the rain off. The shelters are being purchased through the generosity of private donors. Gillian Kemle, also a member of the Creston Rotary Club, said that donors who want to paint sections of the piano can select their area of choice at the

chamber of commerce, then attend one of two painting sessions — 6-9 p.m. April 28 and 10 a.m.-2 p.m. May 1 — where Hunt will provide the appropriate colour and brushes. “Any sections of the piano not already spoken for will be available to paint for people who just show up at one of the sessions,” Kemle said. “On behalf of the Creston Rotary Club we would like to thank the public for their enthusiastic support of the Make Music With Me project. Special thanks to Creston town council and staff for their continuing support, too.”

But if there were opponents to the zoning and OCP change they did not speak up. Chaplin, who participated via telephone, and his agent, Realtor Scott Veitch, responded to concerns previously raised by staff and members of the public. Those concerns included noise, traffic and odor. Town planner Jamai

Schile said that Chaplin had already addressed the issue of lighting in his proposal. While Schile had suggested council include a covenant or other restrictions that would ensure the developer hold to his commitments, particularly about noise and odour, none were included in the amendments.

When the owner was unable to secure funding for the project, the property was purchased by Chaplin West Ventures. When owner Michael Chaplin was unable to find investors for a similar development, he turned to a completely different busiCreston Valley Youth Soccer ness plan for the site, including construction of a craft distillery. “I am tired of looking at it,” was one comment from the gallery at the April 14 public hearing prior to the regular council meeting. “Pretty well anything would be an improvement,” was another.

When health issues earlier this year prevented Johnson from continuing, Seifert was happy to fill her shoes as the community’s official greeter. “I really think it’s an excellent community service,” she said. “It really gives you all the information you need.” The packages she delivers contains information on the Creston and District Community Complex and the College of the Rockies, the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce’s travel guide and flyers from a variety of nonprofit organizations. For each householder Seifert greets, businesses pay $3 per to have their information included. “The more you can give to people, the better,” she said. And with her own community involvement, Seifert is able to offer her own perspective to newcomers. “I’m a very social people person,” she said. “I enjoy meeting people and hearing their stories.” For more information, contact Wendy Seifert at 250-428-7788 or 250-977-5850.

They leave a hole

In recent weeks our community has lost a pair of giants, two men who made their enormous contributions in different ways, both leaving a huge imprint on their families, friends and neighbours. John Poznikoff and Ralph Moore are already greatly missed. When we moved to Creston, John Poznikoff became a familiar face. From the raised platform at the rear of Tamblyn’s Drugs, John dispensed more than just prescriptions. He and the succession of pharmacists who would work with him over the years, were enormously respected for their compassion, for going the extra mile for people whom they saw as being more than just customers. John was among the leaders of the vibrant Canyon Street business community back then. As advertising manager of the Advance I often co-ordinated promotions and special events to keep the downtown lively and busy. John was always one of the first I approached with an idea — if he didn’t like it I could be pretty sure it wouldn’t work, and I would go back to the drawing board to come up with a different promotion. He was, without fail, honest and thoughtful about everything he did as a businessman. In later years, we would become fellow Rotarians, and very few members commanded the respect John did. His leadership did not appear in the typical ways. He wasn’t big on the often tedious executive meetings, so being a club director wasn’t his thing. Club presidency was something he had no interest in taking on. But when there was a project to be tackled, he was completely reliable, an enthusiastic

leader who was never happier when he had a shovel or hammer in hand. Mostly, when I think of John, the term role model comes to mind. John Poznikoff was a family man first, and the proof was evi-

Lorne Eckersley dent in his long marriage with Elaine, and as a father and grandfather. Our conversations after he retired inevitably turned to activities involving grandchildren, and eventually to travel, which he and Elaine always enjoyed. I also met Ralph Moore more than 35 years ago. I have only vague memories of sitting over coffee in the Creston Valley Bakery with him and another man I have long forgotten. There was much talk about world conspiracies and the need to protect the Creston Valley from invading hordes when invaders inevitably swarmed in search of a safe haven where clean water and good growing conditions could be found. I don’t remember how the subject came up, or why these fellows wanted to share their concerns, but I do remember walking away having come to like Ralph very much. He was very smart, had a great smile and a wicked sense of humour. I soon learned of his reputation as something of a madman hiker and

climber and I made an early determination never to go out hiking with him. It is a decision that probably extended my life — trying to keep up might have killed me! Ralph was what I would describe as the ultimate environmentalist. He didn’t just talk the talk. He set an example in his stewardship of his family’s forested property, cutting trees and running a little sawmill in a sustainable way long before we even used the word sustainable in regular conversation. In recent years, our conversations inevitably started with Ralph commenting about getting old. The complaints were made with that familiar gleam in his eyes, and with the springy steps that carried him wherever he wanted to go it was hard to imagine that age was doing much to slow him down. If there was anyone I have ever met who I might have thought about as indestructible, it would have been Ralph. So when we learned about his accident, horrific as the fall must have been, I continued to believe that his great physical fitness and indomitable spirit would help him to not only survive, but to bounce back. I still feel a sense of denial when I think about his passing. John Poznikoff and Ralph Moore were men who made a difference in whatever they did. They led by setting examples for others to follow, not by preaching about what others should do. I am a better person for having known them, and a sadder one when I think about the loss our community has suffered. Lorne Eckersley is the publisher of the Creston Valley Advance.

Trains are dangerous for Yahk To the Editor: One hundred-eighty flammable tanker railcars recently passed through Yahk, 100 metres away from the Yahk Elementary School, community hall, two gas stations , a three-tank commercial propane storage station, post office, homes and the Moyie River. Highway 3/95 is an economically busy international highway with three bridges that bottleneck the Yahk townsite. A weigh scale, additional gas station and highway junction are just south of the Curzon bridge. Almost every night, I hear at least two long trains rumble through Yahk. There have already been two significant train derailments in Yahk, one involving a propane rail tanker. I feel terrorized by the potential industrial accident poised to happen. For example, 120 Gainford, Alta., residents were evacuated for four days in October 2013 at 1 a.m. when 13 Canadian National Railway Co. (CN) cars, four carrying crude oil and nine carrying 130,000 litres of liquid petroleum gas, derailed on a siding due to internal cracks in the rail track, undetected by four rail ultrasound examinations. Two tankers caught fire and exploded in a fireball that spread across Highway 16. An accident like this in Yahk would have much worse consequences. Our volunteer emergency response team is highly organized and co-ordinated, but it appears that the Harper Conservative government is enabling bottom-line corporate profit by endangering the taxpaying public by neglecting rail safety and depending on volunteers for accident response. CN says its revenues reached a record $3.12 billion in 2014. With that profit margin, there shouldn’t be any rail track fatigue accidents. There should be plenty for money to

reinstall and pay safety inspectors to prevent fatigued people-caused rail accidents like the incineration of 47 people in the Lac-Mégantic derailment. The Harper Conservative government is determined to pass Bill C-51, which would label me as a terrorist for speaking up about my safety concerns for Yahk, and by my criticizing the highprofit industrial economy for its lack of respect and concern for we citizens of Canada. I am a responsible adult, not a terrorist, and I am asking, “What is the supposedly family-friendly Harper Conservative Government doing to ensure the safety of the residents of Yahk, or of any community living along a hazardous rail transport route?” Susan Eyre Yahk

Small dogs need own time at park To the Editor: As some of you dog owners know, I’ve been trying to find an alternative solution so that small dogs have a place to play separate from the big dogs, the reason being that the big dogs like to run and play together at the dog park and often the little dogs get bowled over by them because of their size and weight. Also, many small dogs are quite frightened by big dogs and don’t want to enter the dog park when they’re in there. So I have come up with a possible solution so that the big dogs and the small dogs can both utilize the dog park. What if the dog park accommodated the small dogs by allowing them to have their own separate time from 8-11 a.m.? I’ve been told by many people that the big dogs generally show up around 11 a.m. anyway. That way, big dog owners who want to run their dogs before work can do so before 8 a.m. and then they have the rest of the day from 11 on.

This seems like a fair compromise to allow the small dogs a place to play together and not have to worry about any big dogs showing up. And still, if some small dogs do well in with the big dogs, they have that option. If you feel this is a good, fair solution for our dogs, please contact the mayor and council members and give them your opinion on this issue. Deborah Munro Creston

Speeding motorbikes spook horse Dear Editor, I was enjoying a recent sunny afternoon driving my horse and cart near Canyon Park. Suddenly, two young fellows on very loud motorbikes appeared behind me. My horse was getting antsy and I didn’t even have a moment to signal the bikers to slow down or back off when they flew by me going way too fast. My horse was spooked and jumped into a gallop, then starting bucking, as well. She is well trained and used to regular traffic and has never done this before. That is the nature of a horse; they are flight animals and as such are unpredictable. When scared, they will run. I was very lucky that I was able to get her under control before we had a wreck. The road is narrow and the ditches are deep. There was no place to get off the road in time. I have as much right to be on the roads and enjoy my sport as bikers do. Please, please, if you ride a motorbike and you see horses on the roads, either ridden or driven, show some respect and common sense. Slow down or stop and give the rider/driver a chance to move to a safe place before you go by. Sheila Watson Canyon

Different way to think about age

In his essay, “Mountains and Rivers Sutra”, 13th century Zen master Eihei Dogen, a says, “Because mountains and waters have been active since before the empty eon they are alive at this moment.”

A Zen'sEye View Kuya Minague We now know that mountains and rivers are ancient. They have been on Earth since long before there were human beings, plants and animals. They go back many millions of years. When we are in the mountains or on the ocean, we sense that we are communing with an ancestral form of existence. Dogen is saying all that, and something more. He’s saying that even before there was a universe, even before anything at all existed, these mountains and rivers were alive. So what does he mean by that? How could that be? This goes back to

www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca 7

a basic feeling that is at the heart of Asian cosmology. Contemporary cosmologists are now coming to the same conclusion — that is, the idea that there is no beginning, that the idea of a beginning is a projection of a binary human mind, that the origin of the universe is more mysterious than anything our conceptual frameworks could possibly imagine. When Dogen uses the phrase “empty eon” he is referring to Buddhist cosmology, where there are eons that succeed each other, one of which is an empty eon, a time when it appears that there is nothing. But even though it might appear that in a given eon that there is nothing, there is this vital energy of movement, of impermanence. Impermanence is the only thing that is not impermanent. Impermanence is constant, as Dogen says, even when there is nothing. I’m talking as if I know, but I don’t know; I can’t possibly know. All my thoughts feelings, metaphors and ideas about impermanence are incorrect. Whatever I say is misleading. The whole idea of a beginning implies that there is an ending that is prior to beginning. But what’s before that? Another beginning? And before that? Yet another beginning? It doesn’t make sense.

But it does make sense that there is only movement and that we exist here, now, in this moment, because that movement has never ceased. So in some way we have always been here and will always be. We might lose our body; we will lose our body and the perceptions that depend on it. We will lose our sense of identity and memory, and a coherent sense of identity that depends on this body. But we won’t lose the essential person that we are or the vital energy that we are made of. That part of us has always been and will always be. Suggested practice: Try thinking about mountains and rivers as yourself, and notice how everything becomes quite personal. What if you no longer identified with your body, your ideas, beliefs, possessions, nationality, gender or family? What if, instead, you identified with this ongoingness of living and dying? Think about this deeply. What would it mean to your daily life? Kuya Minogue is the resident teacher at Sakura-ji, Creston’s zendo. This column is part of a long essay on an essay by 13th century Zen master Eihei Dogen and is inspired by the teaching of Norman Fishcher.

Surprises in yards offer gardening opportunities

At some point in life, most people end up moving to a new house or home. It could be as simple as moving across town or perhaps a move across borders. Spring rolls around and the new

usually always be identified with a little investigation. Sometimes the new neighbours will know the answer if you’re not sure. In the case of heritage apple trees, pinpointing the exact variety may be a little more difficult. Perhaps the experts at the UBC Apple Festival may be required. In most cases, trees and shrubs can be identified using a small piece of the plant; a terminal twig end with buds will tell Evan Davies the story.

though. It is made up of a few pieces of leaf put together. At this time of year the trees are in flower and these hang off the tree branches, producing lots of pollen for the bees. Later on, this is seed, so they spread by wind. Hence, the surprise factor. Another surprise of these maples is that they have their own kind of bugs, box elder bugs. Red marks on their black beetle-like backs are a dead giveaway. They’re fairly harmless in that they eat the maple seeds; however, they like to congregate in warm places like the porch of an older house for winter. The most distinctive characteristic of these trees is the bluish powder or “bloom” that they have covering their new twiggy growth. Many plants have this sort of natural sunscreen. It rubs off with your thumb. If you are looking to identify shrubbery note the location and the size of the plants in question. Any idea of the leaf and flower colour helps too. Plant material from Canadian hardiness zones 2-6 will grow nicely here in the valley so there are a lot of possibilities. Happy gardening!

Springtime is a time for change

Laying aside essentials — like water, nourishment, shelter and a place to live — wildlife, both plant and animal, under go major changes this time of year. Many of these changes are specific to adjustment from winter activities to summer

the same goes for humans; however, humans spend more time in temperatures above freezing and in increased light by living in artificial habitats, homes, which, for the most part, are equipped to provide heat and light. Animals have physical and behavioural features that help them to survive the winter and summer seasons. For many, springtime is the switch time from winter to summer. Over the past few weeks, I have seen several varying hares scampering out of sight at my approach. At first some of them appeared to be still mostly white. And then I could Ed McMackin see that some were turning activities. That is partly what spring brown, their summer coat, while is all about. Many of the changes still having large patches of white, are connected to and triggered by appearing similar to a calico cat, the increased amount of daylight only without the black and orange. and by the increased number of Then one of the later sightings days with overnight temperatures appeared to be a grayish white. above freezing and by average daySEE SPRING, PAGE 11 time temperatures.

Library showing Wagner’s The Ring BY JULIE EWASHEN

Winnie Klotz

Gary Lakes and Jessye Norman in a Metropolitan Opera production of The Ring.

Fans of Richard Wagner will have an opportunity to enjoy one of his compositions free of charge at the Creston Valley Public Library at 7 p.m. April 25. The Ring will be shown in German with English subtitles, a Metropolitan Opera production with James Levine conducting. Characters in this three-act opera include the chief of gods, a couple of giants, a dwarf, a dragon and men and women. The god and the dwarf vie for control of the world and a complex story evolves. Twins who have been separated at birth become reunited as adults. They experience that special unifying chemistry peculiar to twins, portrayed by Gary Lakes and Jessye Norman. Other singers include Kurt Moll, James Morris, Hildegard Behrens and Christa Ludwig.

Zamboni Sponsorship Opportunity

FROM PAGE 8

A couple of days ago, one, roaming at the edge of the forest within a few feet of me, appeared to be mostly brown except for a white hip and, still, white ears except for a tint of brown. My company settled down, in typical hare resting fashion, with its rump against the base of a stump and spent the rest of the day there. The whitish ears were much less conspicuous flattened on the back of the head. Needless to say, if I hadn’t known it was there, it would have been hard to spot and I would likely have walked by it a hundred times and not noticed it. If things go well, its coat will change to white next fall. Last fall, when the temperatures dropped below freezing at night and daylight hours decreased, leaves fell from the trees. Between the twig and the leaf stem, a wall developed, cutting off the to and from flow of nutrients and moisture, leaving the leaf to die. But now, with reverse of temperature and length of day, that wall has become porous, permitting essential fluids to flow into the dormant buds. With this lifegiving substance, the once dormant buds begin to swell. Tips of green begin to show, bursting into a cluster of miniature leaves, a pussy willow flower-to-be and, as with maples and hazelnut shrubs, a cluster of flowers to be followed shortly by delicate green leaves. Spring is about coming to life, a change from dormancy to activity for the plant and animal world. Many people who choose not to migrate for the winter have said they like the north for its distinct seasons. They like

The Creston & District Community Complex has purchased a new Zamboni for the Johnny Bucyk Arena which will better serve the community for many years to come. The CDCC Johnny Bucyk Arena is the home of the Creston Valley Thunder Cats Jr. B Hockey Club as well as the Creston Valley Minor Hockey group, Creston Valley Skating Club, adult hockey, high school hockey, community skating and more.

the diversity and variety that a four-season year provides. In spite of some recent cool nights, there have been a few days when some larger butterflies have ventured about in the sunny spots of our landscape. There are a few very small butterflies that may frequent your path. Most of them overwintered as a chrysalis, a winter “suitcase”, and have recently hatched, emerging out of the chrysalis. These little ones are mostly spring azure and elfin butterflies. However the larger ones spent the winter as adults that had emerged late last summer and found a sheltered cranny for the time of snow and frost. So what we have been seeing in April are larger butterflies belonging to a group with similar habits and structure, made up of mourning cloaks, several species of angle-wings and Milbert’s and Compton tortoiseshell butterflies. One place you might find them is in a sunny, sheltered spot where there are some rotten apples on the ground or broken twigs of maple and birch. They are attracted to the nutritious moisture in the rotten apples and

sap oozing from broken twigs. They will soon breed and one or two summer broods will follow. The larger butterflies hatching from winter chrysalises will soon be seen in numbers. In fact, I just saw the first anise or mountain swallowtail butterflies flying in an upland clearing where wild parsleys, the favorite food of their larvae, are already blooming. Now, it is possible that you may locate the favorite haunts of the mountain swallow in the rocky openings on the upper part of the Lady’s Slipper Trail. Just imagine: This black and yellow creature, which you may see resting on a plant with wings outstretched or flying zigzaggedly around the openings near the top of the Lady’s Slipper Trail, spent the whole winter encased and compacted in a chrysalis secreted away among the rocks and dormant plants. Find more stories along this trail or visit this column next time around. Ed McMackin is a biologist by profession but a naturalist and hiker by nature. He can be reached at 250-866-5747.

Proposals are being invited from businesses to advertise their ﬁrm and brand logo on the Zamboni. This is a great opportunity for your business to build awareness, increase exposure and demonstrate commitment to “Health and Community Wellness” through recreation and sport. The CDCC is looking for a business to jointly deliver this sponsorship program. Sponsorship packages are available at the recreation complex or can be emailed to you by contacting our front ofﬁce at 250-428-7127, ext. 0, or on the RDCK’s website. Submissions will be accepted until 4:00 pm on May 14, 2015.

Army Cadet Brody Mainville, a member of Creston’s 1746 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps, spent a week at Vernon Cadet Training Centre during spring break improving his drumming skills under the guidance of professional Cadet Instructor Cadre instructor Lt. Megan McConnell of Invermere. After a week of daily individual and group practice, the military band and the pipes and drums students performed a concert in the centre’s dining hall for the 100 other cadets and officers who were attending other courses during the week. The cadet program is a national program for young Canadians aged 12-18 who are interested in participating in a variety of fun, challenging and rewarding activities while learning about the sea, army and air activities of the Canadian Armed Forces. Cadets make valuable contributions to Canadian society on a daily basis in terms of environmental, citizenship and community activities. Cadets also learn valuable life and work skills such as teamwork, leadership and citizenship. For more information about cadets, visit www.cadets.ca.

Grow your own summer salad

(NC) The only thing better than a homemade meal is a homegrown meal – and creating fresh and delicious salads using vegetables, fruits, and herbs grown in your own backyard is about as fresh as it gets when it comes to summer dining.

“Self-contained salad bowls are a great way to start growing your own produce,” says Peter Cantley, gardening expert for the President’s Choice brand. “They’re very low maintenance because they grow right in the container so there’s no need to replant them or worry about them having enough room to grow.”

sPRiNg TRaDe sHow What is your patio-party personality?

(NC) Long, sunny, summer days and warm sultry nights are why Canadians love their patios. It is the perfect place for a casual get together with family or an elegant evening with friends. Even better, it is also easy to create a perfect patio-party space, one that reflects your personality as well as the way you want to entertain.

Begin by considering how you want to spend your outdoor patio time. Do you like cooking there, entertaining, or simply kicking back? Then pick one of the top three trends to build your personalized patio-party:

1. Transitional. If you mix up your al fresco fun with casual and more formal entertaining, then patio sets that combine traditional and contemporary accents to create a modern and versatile feel are the perfect choice. Transitional sets come in a variety of materials including aluminum, fabric, and wood. Hot this year is aluminum, with a norusting guarantee for those who like to leave furniture outdoors for the season. When it comes to fabrics, look for materials that can easily be washed and are able to withstand the wear and tear of summer weather.

2. Over-sized. Is your favourite seat in the house a big comfy overstuffed chair? Then you will love this season’s over-sized patio sets. Comfy and classic pieces, including large couches, deep seating and bistro sets are a popular buy. For bigger yards, large sets that encourage conversation and lounging are perfect for long summer days that last into the night. Traditional, more formal dining sets are easing into more plush patio sets. Cushions in on-trend geometric patterns or stripes are a great way to accessorize to give your patio more personality. For smaller spaces, oversized bistro sets can be easily moved around to accommodate your space and storage options.

3. Customizable. Your patio is an extension of your home – and it’s easy, says Sears Canada, to customize your patio to match your lifestyle. Mix and match a wide variety of colours and patterns with multiple sectionals to create your special summer space. With your perfect patio in place, just kick back in the sunshine and let the lemonade flow. www.newscanada.com

Top 5 tips for the perfect steak (NC) Nothing says summer like the smell of sweet-smoky barbecue. But how do you know if you’re grilling your meats to perfection? As with anything, a bit of practice goes a long way. Follow these top tips for the perfect steak and you’ll be a grill master in no time:

1. Start with room temperature steaks. It’s common for people to take their steaks directly from the cold fridge to the hot fire. Pull the steaks out of the fridge about 30 minutes before you plan to cook them. This will allow the steaks to come to room temperature and will set you up for success to cook the steaks evenly.

2. Clean and oil the grill. Start with a clean barbecue and brush it with vegetable oil before heating the grill. Taking the time to brush off old food will be worth it when your steaks release from the cooking surface with ease.

3. Heat the grill. Give it plenty of time to preheat. You’ll know when you can’t hold your hand over the grill for more than a few seconds that it is hot enough.

4. Touch the steaks. A good method to check doneness is using a simple tool – your hands. A rare steak feels spongy and soft, medium springs back a bit when pressed, and well-done feels firm. Practice poking your meat to learn the difference.

5. Let the meat rest. The secret to a juicy steak is letting it rest for five to 10 minutes before you serve or cut it. This gives the juices a chance to settle back into meat, which helps it finish cooking evenly and keeps the steak moist and flavourful. www.newscanada.com
