Creston town council voted Jan. 12 to change its meeting times to accommodate Coun. Kevin Boehmer, who topped the polls in the 2014 municipal election. Boehmer told council that he had accepted a teaching position

(he is an accountant) in Cranbrook at the College of the Rockies, which limits his ability to carry on with some of his duties as a Creston councillor. “This isn’t something I went looking for,” he said. “The job basically came to me.” Boehmer now teaches from Tuesday through Friday, but has no

intention of relocating. “We won’t be moving,” he said. “My wife and kids love it here and I will be commuting.” Boehmer ’s new employer accommodated his work as a town councillor, working out a schedule that sees his duties end at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, which allows him to get back to Creston

for the regular 4 p.m. public council meeting. At the suggestion of Coun. Karen Unruh, council voted to move the meeting back to 4:30 p.m. And scheduled closed meetings will now be held after the public meeting, not before.

Ducks Unlimited selects wildlife painter’s work BY LORNE ECKERSLEY Advance Staff

Wildlife artist Guy Hobbs has once again had a painting selected by Ducks Unlimited Canada as part of its National Art Portfolio program. Bath Interrupted, a closeup of a grizzly bear, was one of 12 pieces of art selected this year from among more than 1,000 submissions. “DU has been nothing but good to me,” said Hobbs, who works out his home studio on Fox Tree Hill. “They are great people to work with and have a great program for artists. He is a self-taught artist who has only been making his paintings/drawings (he has developed his own process to portray wildlife with photo-like detail) for five years. The Ducks Unlimited selection is only the latest accolade as Hobbs’ reputation grows.

“The Ducks Unlimited and BC Wildlife awards gave me external validation, permission to see myself as an artist.” Guy Hobbs

“The DU connection helps with the challenge of getting my name out nationally,” he said. “My market is more geared toward wildlife enthusiasts than art collectors and this is a great way to reach it.” Hobbs said he enjoys the solitude that painting offers, but the recognition is important, too. “It’s good for the ego,” he laughed. “And I have to thank Ducks Unlimited art buyers for that.” Born and raised in the United Kingdom, Hobbs’ passion for art and wildlife started early, during long childhood walks with his parents. As a young man he worked at a safari lodge in the Kafue River Reserve in Zambia, which teems with some of Africa’s most spectacular wildlife. With encouragement from his wife, Kerry, he moved away from graphic design and illustration to take up wildlife painting after the couple moved to Creston. A large variety of birds, as well as deer,

bears, coyotes and mountain lions, share his “backyard”, and he finds inspiration (and photographic references) locally and in his travels. By combining the use of acrylic paints, coloured pencils and transparent acrylic inks, Hobbs has a remarkable ability to create life-like paintings, accurate depictions that make his subjects look like individual beings, and not simply representatives of their species. “To do a job that makes people smile is awesome,” he said. “It’s a nice way to earn a living — so different from my past job.” Not that financial success has mirrored the accolades — he was the BC Wildlife Federation 2014 Artist of the Year — he has earned. “There is still a long way to go before it pays all the bills,” he said with a smile. “But now people are starting to find me — that’s what Ducks Unlimited has done for me.” Bath Interrupted was completed in the spring of 2015. His most recent piece is an African lion — “a tribute to my dad,” the man who spent time with him in Africa. “It was kind of like making a commission piece, with his spirit watching over me. Dad (an airplane pilot) was a massive fan of

all things Africa and African wildlife. I spent six months with him in Zambia.” Hobbs continues to describe himself as a newcomer the art scene, and says that it has taken time to redefine his self-image. “The Ducks Unlimited and

BC Wildlife awards gave me external validation, permission to see myself as an artist,” he said. There is no room for complacency in his art, though. “Sometimes you have to take risks,” he said. “I had more

failures last year than ever, and I have become more willing to push myself. But I am so lucky to have a wife who supports what I do. At the end of day this is a business, not only for fun. So that support is really important to me.” More of Hobbs’ work can be found on his website, guyhobbs.com.

Renovations underway at CVH emergency room BY BRIAN LAWRENCE Advance Editor

With the goals of increasing patient privacy and flow, and overall efficiency of the space, the first phase of renovations to the Creston Valley Hospital’s emergency room began Jan. 14. With Creston’s T.A. Rendek and Associates Ltd. as contractor, a new triage and registration room, renovated central nursing station and redeveloped fast-track area for minor treatment. “As our numbers have increased in the emergency department, we’ve realized that our space, though big, is not efficient,” site manager Carolyn Hawton said last week. “Our ultimate hope is that it will decrease wait times in the ER. There will be more care areas for them to be seen.” Currently, patients triaged at a score of 4 or 5 can wait two to four hours to be seen. During the renovation, though, that wait may be lon-

ger, as the existing eight beds will drop to five for the project’s second phase. Phase 1 began last week, and will last three or four weeks while ducting and electrical work are done.

“Our ultimate hope is that it will decrease wait times in the ER. There will be more care areas for them to be seen.” Carolyn Hawton CVH Site Manager

That phase marks one of the biggest changes in the facility, when public access is severed between the ER and the rest of the hospital. The change will be a permanent one, helping to address privacy and confidentiality by keeping patients out of sight

by the public. Phase 2 will follow and last 14-16 weeks, as the bulk of the structural changes are made. During this time, outside access to the ER will be through the ambulance loading doors rather than the main ER entrance. With only five beds available and wait times temporarily increased, patients are being asked to see their own doctors for non-urgent care, although hospital staff are planning to keep the transition as smooth as possible. “It will be moment by moment,” said Hawton. “It just takes one ambulance to completely change it.” When the Interior Health Authority announced the renovation project in November, is was expected to total about $650,000, made possible by bequeathals from the estates of Jessie Julia Hopper, Don and Dariel Anne Korczynski, and Blanche Oleskiw, which were held by the East Kootenay Foundation for Health.

CBAL, library hosting literacy week adventure

COLUMBIA BASIN ALLIANCE FOR LITERACY

On Jan. 30, the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy’s Creston branch and the Creston Valley Public Library will host an event to raise awareness of the importance engaging in play-based literacy activities as a family. Play a Story, which starts at 1 p.m. at the library, is an improvisational and playful adventure that uses reading and storytelling to act out the classic fairy tale Hansel and Gretel. Using imagination, voices, props and costumes, participants will travel through the forest with two lost children on an exciting journey which leads them back to home. It promises to be fun for the whole family. Play a Story celebrates Family Literacy Week (Jan. 24-31), an annual campaign that honours family literacy in B.C. Family

Literacy Week builds on ABC Life Literacy Canada’s Family Literacy Day, a national awareness initiative created in 1999 and celebrated annually across Canada on Jan. 27. Literacy is important for all British Columbians, including children and families. Families who engage in play-based literacy activities when children are young see positive effects on both the children and parents/caregivers. Simple activities offer rich opportunities for interaction and learning. These activities help create healthy relationships and help prepare children to enter school. In addition, Decoda Literacy Solutions (decoda.ca) is celebrating with a provincewide online photo contest (#FLW2016) to encourage people to share family literacy activities. It has also developed free “Let’s Play Together!” activity sheets for families and programs that work with young children.

Valentine’s Day A“ Grand” Dinner & Dance Fundraiser

BY WILL JOHNSON Nelson Star

The School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) board unanimously voted Jan. 12 to introduce kindergarten at Nelson’s Wildflower school, and an unsually large crowd of parents, teachers, administrators and even students was there to hear the news. “Wildflower started around a kitchen table,” teacher Barbara Hargreaves told the meeting, going through the history of the program for trustees along with principal Naomi Ross. Started in 2000, Wildflower became part of the district in 2002, and has expanded since. An alternative school with a multi-age classroom environment, Hargreaves said Wildflower’s mission is to “educate the whole child.” “Our multi-age learning environment is one of support, safety, trust, respect and compassion,” Ross said. “For us, social responsibility goals are just as important as academic goals.” Currently the classroom based at Central School supports students ages six to 12, but under their new system that group would be split in half. One class would consist of kindergarten, Grade 1 and potentially Grade 2 students, while the older kids would be in a cohort from Grades 2 through 6.

Ross said they’re particularly proud of their community garden, and projects they’ve tackled such as the recent pictograph-themed mural they created in collaboration with the Sinixt First Nation and local artist Amber Santos. “Every school in SD8 offers kindergarten except Wildflower,” said Hargreaves. “We welcome change and we do evolve and think it’s time for a change. Why now? We feel like we have the support.” Ross told the board she’s looked at projections and at the families currently involved at Wildflower, and she’s confident they’ll have no problem

routinely filling the class. Introducing kindergarten would only require one additional classroom space. Supt. Jeff Jones noted Creston’s Wildflower school won’t be getting a kindergarten because their population can’t sustain one. Board chair Lenora Trenaman asked about Grade 2s in the school, and Ross said they’re going to decide case by case which students end up where. They plan to keep class numbers below 22, and the cap is 24. “I think Wildflower does an excellent job,” trustee Curtis Bendig said. “Obviously there’s strong support here.”

History, one more time

“I am not now, nor have I ever been, a member of the communist party.” We watched the movie Trumbo this week and the phrase is fresh on my mind. I was born in the McCarthy era, in 1954. The Korean War had just ended and the Cold War was beginning to heat up. I recall my conservative father commenting at dinner that if Richard Nixon won the American presidency we could end up in another world war (John F. Kennedy won by a narrow margin), and I have vague memories of the Cuban missile crisis. In the 1960s my interest in politics was tweaked, as much by American news than by Canadian issues. In high school the name Dalton Trumbo became familiar because we studied Johnny Got His Gun in English class. Our studies did not refer to, as best as I can recall, Trumbo’s success as a writer of screenplays or his status as one of the Hollywood Ten, or Billy’s Blacklist. Or that he spent nearly a year in jail for being found in contempt of Congress for his unwillingness to kowtow to HUAC, the House Un-American Activities Committee, which made Senator Joe McCarthy a household name and Trumbo an anathema in the film business. Trumbo, the movie, is more than just a terrific film featuring the remarkable actor Bryan Cranston (of Breaking Bad fame). It should serve as a cautionary tale in a time that looks more like the 1950s politically than we care to acknowledge. With Donald Trump’s bombastic presidential run focusing on a distrust of foreigners, primarily Mexicans and

Muslims, and a promise to build walls along U.S. borders, it would do us well to wonder if history is once again repeating itself. The Iron Curtain seems like a distant memory, the Berlin Wall

Lorne Eckersley having been toppled in the 1980s and Ronald Reagan having been declared winner — game, set and match — over the dreaded communists. But Trump and other Republican candidates are seeming to find traction in the idea of creating American walls, figurative and literal, without instilling a whole lot of fear among a people who should be as tired of living their privileged lives in fear as Canadians showed themselves to be in last year’s federal election. Dalton Trumbo’s story is fascinating. After having some success with Johnny Got His Gun, a brilliant and disturbing anti-war tale, he went on to become one of Hollywood’s most successful screenwriters. He joined the communist party in 1943, believing that isolationism was the answer for the U.S. In 1946, in an article he wrote titled “The Red Menace”, he said that Russians were justified in fearing the expansion of American power. “If I were a Russian... I would be alarmed, and I would petition my government to take measures at

once against what would seem an almost certain blow aimed at my existence. This is how it must appear in Russia today,” he wrote. Once the blacklist took hold and Trumbo appeared to be out of business, he began writing under pseudonyms, finding producers who were more interested in making money than in Cold War politics. He wrote 30 scripts from his home in Mexico City, where he moved his family after serving his jail sentence. Two of his scripts, for The Brave One and Roman Holiday, would go on to win Academy Awards for writing. He received screen credit for neither at the time. “There are many angry, greedy people in the world and they seem to be breeding in record numbers,” Trumbo says in his namesake movie. The angry people who comprised HUAC slowly began to lose their power, if not legitimacy (the committee still existed until 1975, but the angry people now hold the majority in Congress) and Otto Preminger and Kirk Douglas refused to hide Trumbo’s name in the 1960 movies Exodus and Spartacus. (I am sure there must be a master’s thesis somewhere that explores the fact that both those movies end in the letters US. If there isn’t, there should be.) As the Republican lunatics race down a path that could lead to a new cold war (if we’re lucky) or world war (if we aren’t), Trumbo serves an entertaining and informative warning. If only sufficient numbers are listening, we might have some cause for hope. Lorne Eckersley is the publisher of the Creston Valley Advance.

Ticket for light unfair to young Alberta driver To the Editor: A family member from out of province, home visiting for the Christmas season, was pulled over by the local RCMP around 10 p.m. Dec. 26. The officer asked the same question repeatedly, “Have you been drinking?” with the answer each time being no. The officer proceeded to advise the driver that he had a burned out taillight and was issuing a ticket — over $200! Whatever happened to the “friendly warning” or giving 24 hours to have it repaired? My thoughts: An Alberta licence plate? A young man driving? A deadline looming for his ticket quota? Shirley Armstrong Creston

Upgraded intersection changes nothing To the Editor: Who’s kidding who? The new stoplight and all the landscaping that cost millions of dollars has changed nothing in the traffic pattern. It just looks nice. The vehicles still have to turn left or right or go straight through. Nothing has changed except the congestion has now moved up to Vancouver Street and Northwest Boulevard. I have written twice before on the

oPiNioN LiNe

problem of the logging trucks, gravel trucks and 50-foot highway haulers that unnecessarily use Canyon Street (Highway 3). An accident is just waiting to happen with a truck driver having a stroke or aneurism, and resulting carnage could be so horrendous that the emergency vehicles, ambulances and police could not get to the scene. Shame on town hall and the Christy Clark government for the bribe project at Pine Street for a supporting vote in the 2017 provincial election! The imperfection and irresponsibility in our new council is obviously “same old same old.” Michael Bunn Creston

Sale not in Canada’s best interest To the editor: Is there a cloud looming on the “sunny ways” horizon? One could ignore the execution by another country of a large group of political prisoners as a strictly internal matter, but honouring an unsavoury military contract with said regime gives the appearance of approval of this atrocity. Furthermore, this Canadian-built equipment is for use against civilians in a genocidal project that increases the war crime potential and thus becomes an abhorrent act of complicity. I am referring to the decision by the government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to endorse the previous Conservative government’s agreement of providing military vehicles to Saudi Arabia. Is $15 billion of Dynamics Land Systems of London, Ont., profits and jobs or moral principle? Is Canada really “back” if this deal goes ahead? Sometimes individuals and countries need to do the right thing, and in my opinion and other voters who chose change over cynicism, this is one of those times. These are armed mili-

tary transports suitable for attacking lightly armed civilians, but not suitable against real soldiers with real weapons. These vehicles are being bought by the Saudi Arabian National Guard to maintain public order, and not by the Saudi army. (Canada lost many of them to homemade bombs planted by Afghan patriots over a 10-year futile occupation of the victimized country.) Foreign Minister Stéphane Dion pronounced that our reputation as a business partner would be damaged if we backed out of the deal now, but does not mention the damage done to Canada’s reputation as an ethical state, the Canada that “came back”. After the tragic judicial assassination by agents of the Saudi royal family of a well-known Shia cleric, Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr, and 46 other political prisoners, these vehicles may be used to control further blow back over these political executions. Is this what the “new” Canada wants to support? The Sunni country’s significant Shia minority of about three million of the country’s 27 million souls could be in imminent danger. Should Canada contribute to a religious and cultural genocide for the sake of our corporate sector? The Saudis are among the principal forces behind the creation of the Islamic State, ISIL. Canadian jets continue pounding ISIL in Syria and Iraq, and now we want to help the Saudis who are helping ISIL? Does it get any crazier? Saudi Arabia is also provoking conflict with Iran, the predominant Shia power in the region, threatening the recent accord with Iran, and also targeting Shia civilian targets in Yemen, including hospitals. This sale is no way in Canada’s interest — notwithstanding the shortterm business profit. Canada should know better than indulging in a further destabilization quagmire. And what of the jobs? Why not build snowplows, fire engines and transit vehicles to upgrade our cities? There is much constructive and needed work to be done, besides building more killing machines. What of the ballyhooed infrastructure? Larry Ewashen Creston

Success starts with asking why

I recently watched a Ted Talk by Simon Sinek, author of Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone To Take Action. In the talk, Sinek argues that success — whether in business, social movements, or any other area of life — depends

The Book Drop Aaron Francis not on the products we sell, but on the “why” we do what we do. It starts with a core belief and all of our products and processes flow from that belief. Apple’s core belief, for example, is that they “challenge the status quo” and “think differently” (according to Sinek). Building high quality computers and devices is just how this belief manifests itself. They could make toasters — and probably most of us would agree that these toasters would be different and special in some way, at least insofar as we buy into Apple’s core belief. As your librarian, I have to admit that

www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca 7

I spend a lot of my time thinking about library products and processes — how to get the new books out quicker, where to source better computers, evaluating staffing competencies and so forth — but when you ask me why the library exists, I need to step back and think about it. Why does the library exist? To answer this, I needed to look deeper than the “what” and the “how”, past the books and computers, comfy chairs, story times, book clubs, community partnerships and great customer service that our patrons have come to expect. And here is my answer: Information changes lives. Of course, the library being a community institution, your answer to this question may be different — and no less valid — than mine. I personally hesitate to use the term “information”. If there were a term that incorporated all the elements of the “DIKW pyramid” — data, information, knowledge, wisdom — I would use that instead. And this “information” (or whatever) doesn’t just “change” lives. It enhances, improves, amplifies, embroiders, elevates, exalts and raises up our lives. And it’s not just individual lives either. Our community — which is made up of individuals yet seems to me

to be more than just the sum of its parts — is changed. To put it another way, this living, breathing organism called Creston or Creston and district (or Creston Valley or the Town of Creston plus Regional District of Central Kootenay Areas A, B and C) is elevated/improved/ amplified as a result of the fact that all of its members regardless of age, gender, background or income level have shared access to stories that impart the wisdom of our species, resources containing information on health, gardening, spirituality and every other subject under the sun, programs designed to assist people in accessing all of this richness, meeting spaces for local citizens to share their own knowledge with their fellow citizens, and a warm, comfy place to sit down and enjoy it all to boot. Perhaps my original formulation will suffice: Information changes lives. That’s what we’re about. I would love to hear your thoughts about this column or any other libraryrelated matter. You can email me at aaron@crestonlibrary.com or just stop by the library anytime. Aaron Francis is the chief librarian at the Creston Valley Public Library. He is currently reading Blindness by Jose Saramago.

Planning can be perfect

Deciding what to do with a loved one’s “stuff” after he or she is gone is a conundrum. What to keep? What to donate to Gleaners or the Creston Museum or other worthy recipi-

My mother owned three or four dozen bone china teacups, those dainty patterned items with names like Lady Carlyle and Old Country Roses. I can’t remember the exact count, but they filled an entire shelf in the large oak buffet in the dining room. She used them often for bridge nights, all special occasions and for afternoon tea with our neighbour, Kath Hood. They drank a lot of tea together, and I’m sure there are family stories that Mrs. Hood knew that we are not privy to. Drinking tea is like that. My generation did not have much to do with china teacups. Mugs are still the beverage container of choice among family and friends. Instead of giving Mom’s teacups to an antique dealer, we decided to bestow them on the women and grandchildren in her life. One teacup for each person — daughters, daughters-in-law, male and female grandchildren, nieces, neighbours. Even after that distribution, I still own 11 of them. Then there was the Blue Willow set of dishes, complete with platters, serving bowls and the teapot. The teapot’s design is a traditional take on the willow tree, the temple, the two doves, the footbridge, the little boat, the apple tree and the crooked fence, but it’s still a sad story. Despite its 18th-century Chinese-inspired design

and its story of young love thwarted by the dastardly, rich older suitor, none of us wanted the set. We all had households and dinner dishes of sorts. We parted with the Blue Willow, but not before each choosing a piece that appealed to us. Appropriately, we decided Mrs. Hood would get the teapot. She appreciated it and brewed tea in it for 16 more years. Some people gift things of value or sentiment long before they pass away. When someone is brave enough to say, “Hey, I want that painting/clock/chair after you’re gone,” that is a good thing. For my part, I have begun to put masking tape labels on a few items that seem appropriate right now. For instance, I taped a name on the enamelled Russian bowls; perhaps I will put a name on the ceramic Christmas dish my mother made. I’m not wanting to be morbid or to make anybody unhappy. It is the pragmatic thing to do, and it might make things a little easier in the future. Kath Hood passed away in November. Before she died, she told her children to return the Blue Willow teapot to the Mosher family. Something about that planned gesture is simply perfect. Betsy Brierley lives beside Kootenay Lake. She used to write for the Advance a long time ago.

whom I got to know through their courageous parents, started keeping their child support. This money put nutritious food on the table and paid for school supplies. Rosie, now 15, paid for her own Star Wars ticket instead of asking a friend to pay. This holiday season, they all had more of what they needed because we changed a bad government policy. That a small group of people made such an important change is wonderful to reflect upon and it Michelle Mungall warms my heart. But The holidays also remind us reality sets in, too. For the most that not everyone is able to afford part, the 6,000 kids now getting the basics. While poverty lives in their child support still live in every community all year round, poverty.

rates jump each year under Christy Clark. These 6,000 children are some of most hard hit by increased costs and lack of affordability, but they aren’t the only ones. One in five B.C. children lives in poverty. That’s 167,810 kids and there are thousands more with parents just barely over the poverty line. Then there are thousands more with parents whose wages aren’t keeping pace with increases to MSP, auto insurance, childcare, activities like soccer, property taxes, bus passes and more. As a result, they are struggling more each year to keep up with the bills. Maybe this is your story. If not, it’s the story of someone you know. That’s why we need a legislated poverty reduction plan. I’ve introduced my poverty reduction and economic inclusion bill three times. Christy Clark responds by ignoring it and leaving B.C. as the only province without a real plan of action. This spring when I’m back in Victoria, I will introduce my bill again and continue to do so until it’s debated and passed. We need a poverty reduction plan this year. Plans work. They work year-round. They work for the 167,810 children who deserve better. They work for all of us. Michelle Mungall is the member of the legislative assembly for the Nelson-Creston provincial riding, and is the Opposition critic for social development.

The Voice of Experience Betsy Brierley ent? What to pass on to family members? Who would appreciate that bundle of old letters, the hen and chicks made of wood, the china teapot with the Blue Willow design? When my mother, Helen Mosher, died 16 years ago in January, we siblings were beset with this problem. But the fact that there are four of us helped the decision making and the creative solutions. (I can appreciate the dilemma of my cousin who is an only child and in the throes of clearing out her mother’s home. She alone must consider what to do with a lifetime of treasures.) I would be in favour of a detailed will with itemized distribution list, but how often does that happen? We did hold a garage sale — an act of desperation some might think but, on the other hand, appreciated by friends of my parents who discovered keepsakes.

Year for poverty reduction

Happy new year! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season filled with peace and joy, and that it continues on into 2016. For me, I enjoyed a bit of time with family and friends as we skied, tobogganed and shared in our communities’ festivities.

BC Hockey is a not-for-profit organization and member branch of Hockey Canada in charge of governing amateur hockey at all levels in British Columbia and Yukon Territory. Approximately 150 minor hockey associations, 55,000 players, 4,500 referees, 20,000 official volunteers and countless others make our great game possible here in Pacific Canada. Founded in 1919 as the British Columbia Amateur Hockey Association, BC Hockey has seen many changes and substantial growth over the years. The organization continues to strive to provide training and resources for volunteers so that they may better serve the amateur hockey community. BC Hockey knows that for many, hockey is a life-long activity and that fun and positive experiences must be combined with the teachings of skill and technique. Hockey runs deep in our communities. It is our National Game. The organization is overseen by an Executive Committee composed of 21 elected members and one appointed member (the Executive Director who does not get to vote on issues). As a volunteer-run organization, BC Hockey is indebted to the individuals who selflessly give their time, skill and support to help promote and foster amateur hockey in BC. Persons interested in volunteering for amateur hockey should contact their local minor hockey association. www.bchockey.net

Partnering in the tour are Patagonia, Clif Bar, Sierra Nevada Brewing, Orion Magazine, Klean Kanteen, Earthjustice, Barefoot Wine and Bubbly, and KEEN. Some of the films featured are Marie’s Dictionary, in which an indigenous elder types out her language; word by word, before it fades with her; The Ridge, an amazing bicycle ride set to Celtic music; Delta Dawn, following the Colorado River as it flows, once again, to its Mexican destination; Birdsongs, listening to the language of the birds; and Nobody’s River, four young women kayak an undammed river in Mongolia.

Mila

I am a friendly 4 year old spayed female Shepherd/Malamute cross that has been house trained and well socialized. I am looking for a new family that I can love and show off how I like to ‘sit pretty’, shake a paw or talk to. I like to go on car rides and play with tug toys.

Hungarian vocalist, classical guitarist performing in Creston SUBMITTED

On Jan. 29, Hungarian vocalist Noémi Kiss and classical guitarist Rita Deane will perform a concert at St. Stephen’s Presbyterian Church featuring love songs from across the centuries. The concert — made possible with the support of the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance — will include a wide range of repertoire from early classical to contemporary, including works by Dowland, Sor, Giuliani, Rodrigo, Britten, Villa-Lobos, Sieber, as well as contemporary love songs and folk songs from around the world. Kiss is an internationally acclaimed vocalist, whose voice has been described by critics as “gloriously lyrical over a strikingly wide range.” (BBC Music Magazine) With performances in many of Europe’s concert halls, Kiss’s concert

engagements take her to many of Europe’s festivals and include appearances in Iceland, Norway and Israel. Born in Hungary, Kiss studied at the Academy of Music in Budapest and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. Her recording of Giovanni Battista Pergolesi’s Marian Vespers, with New College Choir and the Academy of Ancient Music under Edward Higginbottom, was nominated for both the Gramophone Award and the classical Grammy Award. Deane grew up in the Kootenays and studied both classical guitar and piano from age six. She continued her musical studies at the University of Victoria, and then abroad in Cordoba, Spain, as well as at the International Music Academy in Salzburg, Austria. While completing her master’s degree, she joined the guitar faculty of the Victoria Conservatory of Music.

Submitted

Hungarian vocalist Noémi Kiss performs with classical guitarist Rita Deane on Jan. 29.

Deane has served as an examiner and as an adjudicator at various festivals, including the Northwest Guitar Festival, and is one of the founding faculty of the Kaslo Guitar Fest.

Obituaries Ruth Josephine Mildred Feener (Pierce) 1948 ~ 2016

Ruth Josephine Mildred Feener (Pierce) of Creston, BC, aged 68, passed away peacefully on Saturday January 16, 2016 with her children by her side. Born in Waverley, Nova Scotia, Ruth was the daughter of the late Mildred Ostrem (Beach) and Joseph Pierce. Ruth and late husband Roger Feener brought immense laughter and music to Wynndel, BC in 2002 when they moved from Airdrie, AB. Ruth has spent many years suffering with a broken heart after that music died suddenly with Roger’s death in 2005. She will always be remembered for her Maritime sense of humor, her pie baking, and her determination. She is survived by her children Charles, Yvette (Brad), and Troy (Desiree); sisters MaryLou Barkhouse and Gloria Bradley; and grandchildren Dustin, Jessica, and Ty. She was pre-deceased by her brother Teddy, sister Julie and especially beloved niece Annie. A family service will be held at a later date in Peggys Cove, Nova Scotia where Ruth is to be reunited with Roger and her mother. "For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun? And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?" - Khalil Gibran

Margot Dahle August 25, 1925 ~ January 11, 2016 Margot Dahle passed away peacefully on January 11, 2016.

Born in Berlin, Germany, Margot immigrated to Canada in 1953 where she met and married Henry Dahle, her soul mate and husband of 61 years. Margot and Henry raised their three daughters in Regina and Calgary. In 1979 Margot and Henry moved to Wynndel, where Margot established a pottery shop. Loving wife, devoted mother and enthusiastic crafts woman, Margot was an avid gardener, lover of nature and volunteer in many local organizations including Wynndel Community Hall, Tipi Camp, Wildsight and the Green Party. Margot is survived by husband Henry; daughters Gudrun, Sigrid, and Dagmar, and granddaughter Emma. The family is grateful to the staff of Crest View Village Residential Care and extend special thanks to Corinne Wilcox. Donations in Margot’s memory may be made to Wildsight, Creston Valley Branch.

The duo will be performing at St. Stephen’s Presbyterian Church at 7:30 p.m. Jan. 29. Tickets are $20, available at Black Bear Books, Kingfisher Used Books and Creative Fix.

Mary “Maria” Berger 1915 ~ 2016

Mary “Maria” Berger passed peacefully at home on January 8, 2016 in Lacombe, AB at the age of 100 years with her daughter by her side. Maria was born in a sod house on the farm in Saskatchewan in 1915 to Ukrainian immigrant parents. She grew up, however, in Detroit and Dearborn, Michigan, while her father worked at Ford Motor Company. After they came back to Canada, settling near Edmonton, Maria lived in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, Creston, B.C., and Lacombe, Alberta. She loved to dance, including Ukrainian and tap, as well as play the violin. She was always positive. She had a smile on her face, a song in her heart and kind words for everyone. She particularly enjoyed her mother’s homemade wine and often talked about how she missed it, even until days before she left this earth. She was an amazing cook, preparing authentic Ukrainian dishes. Maria wanted to live to 100 to get her birthday greeting letter from the Queen - and she did it. She was pre-deceased by her parents Maxim and Xenia Szach, sister Anne Oleshko, brother Alex Shaw, husband Anton Berger, her partner John Joy Jr., and her son Gary Berger. She will be greatly missed by her children: Ion Berger (Los Angeles, California), Xenia Stanford (Kelowna, B.C.), Neal (Brenda) Berger (Sherwood Park, AB), Ruth Berger (Rocky Mountain House, AB), Aileen Joy (Victoria, B.C.), Keith (Val) Joy (Vernon, B.C.), and Lisa Joy (Lacombe), as well as many great- and greatgreat-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. A Celebration of Maria’s life was held Friday, January 15, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. at Wilson’s Funeral Chapel, 6120 Hwy 2A, Lacombe, AB. Interment followed at Lacombe’s Fairview Cemetery. Condolences may be made by visiting www.wilsonsfuneralchapel.ca Wilson’s Funeral Chapel & Crematorium serving Central Alberta with locations in Lacombe and Rimbey in charge of arrangements.

Loss narrows division’s second-third gap Advance Staff

After a weekend loss by the Creston Valley Thunder Cats — and, conversely, two wins by the Fernie Ghostriders — the gap between second and third place in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Eddie Mountain Division has narrowed to a single point. The Thunder Cats remain in second place with 51 points, one ahead of the Ghostriders, but 17 behind the division-leading Kimberley Dynamiters. The fourth-place Columbia Valley Rockies aren’t too far behind, with 46 points. The weekend started out Creston hosting the Golden Rockets, a game that

resulted in a 5-1 win for the Thunder Cats over the fifth-place Rockets, at the bottom of the Eddie Mountain Division with 11 points. Creston started the scoring with goals by Grant Iles and Tyler Severson in the first period, which was followed by a scoreless second. The Thunder Cats were first to score in the third period, with Severson scoring on a power play just over 10 minutes in. Golden finally responded on a power play three minutes later, with Jackson Bruce-Fuoco and MarcAntoine Gagnon each scoring over the next two minutes. On Saturday, the Thunder Cats hosted the Rockies in a game that saw the lead alternate a few times before

the game resulted in a 5-4 loss for Creston. Creston’s Liam Plunkett was first to score, ten minutes into the first period, with a power-play goal by the Rockies tying to score less than three minutes later. The Rockies pulled ahead with a goal just over a minute into the second period, with Creston goals by Sebastian Kilcommons and Brett Witala following in the next seven minutes. The Rockies tied the score with just over six minutes remaining in the period. The Rockies retook the lead with an unassisted goal six minutes into the third period, with a goal by Creston’s Maverick Lynes tying the score 10 seconds later. The game-winner was

scored by the Rockies with five minutes left in the game. This weekend, the Thunder Cats start the first of four away games by visiting the Castlegar Rebels, whom they defeated 8-2 in a Jan. 8 home game. They continue by taking on the Golden Rockets on Saturday, before visiting the Dynamiters — to whom they lost 6-1 on their last visit — on Tuesday.
