Nearly a dozen trailblazers appeared before the March 15 committee of the whole meeting to promote the construction of a new walking path in Creston.
Spokesperson Mary Jayne Blackmore asked Creston town council for support in an application for Columbia Basin Trust funding. The proposed walkway would connect 16th Avenue North, just north of Scott Street, to Devon Street.

“We have walked the route with a (town) staff member,” Blackmore said, adding that more staff support would be needed to determine property boundaries. A public consultation meeting with area residents would be included in the process, she said.
While CBT funding would be sought, the town would not be off the financial hook. The Trails for Creston Valley Society asks that the town provide gravel, and assume responsibility for post-construction maintenance.

In November 2013, the Town of Creston gave notice of its intent to withdraw. Varela said the two-year withdrawal process came into effect on Dec. 31, 2015, and that there was still no evidence that Creston would benefit from the program. “We can always opt back in at any time,” she said. “It’s much easier to opt in than it is to opt out.”

Fortis helping businesses with energy efficiency By BrIAN LAWreNce Advance editor
A new FortisBC initiative is designed to help businesses improve energy efficiency and reduce costs, with rebates offered to upgrade fixtures to LED, which are now more affordable and efficient, and have a quicker return on investment. “We know operating costs are really important for small and medium sized businesses,” said FortisBC corporate communications advisor Nicole Bogdanovic. The program, which started this month, is “innovative and community based”, she said, utilizing Fortis-approved local contractors who receive training, support and assessment tools. “They’re really very important in transforming the marketplace toward energy efficiency,” said Bogdanovic. “This program is really designed to make it their business to help customers save energy.” And it makes the process easier, too, with the contractors being the ones to fill out rebate forms. “When I’m liaising with Fortis, we’re speaking the same language, as opposed to somebody who doesn’t know electricity,” said Wynndel Electric owner Aaron Lucke. The process begins with the contractor touring a commercial location to conduct an energy audit and determine the business’s needs. At Kokanee Ford, for example, fluorescent tubes have been replaced with LED tubes in most areas. Each $22 tube has a $6 rebate, and they last 35,000 hours — as opposed to 20,000 with fluorescent tubes — paying for themselves in about a year. “As long as the bulb is compatible, it’s plug and play,” said Lucke. In Ford’s service bay, where lighting is important to see small detail, the old metal halide lights have been replaced with LEDs fixtures ($390 minus a $90 rebate) that require significantly less maintenance and last 100,000 hours. Energy-efficient upgrades extend beyond lighting, and include cooking appliances, air conditioners, heat pumps, refrigeration and compressors. “I think people are surprised there are a lot of products out there to suit their needs,” he said. “It’s really nice to know they can make a positive effect on the environment with an effort to grow greener.” For Lucke, who has been an electrician for 15 years and ticketed for 10, becoming approved through Fortis has added a new dimension to his work. “It’s been a great experience to learn all the ins and outs of working with LED lighting,” he said. Residential customers can also receive rebates on a variety of energy-saving upgrades, which can be found at www.fortisbc.com/ Rebates. It’s best for customers to find a contractor who is insured (bonded and liability), licensed through the BC Safety Authority and can offer references. It’s also important to find one who can help determine the right lighting for a specific

REVIEW
Window to Freedom tells story of a survivor By LOrNe ecKerSLey Advance Staff
While it can seem that way, history is not documented by writers who have a magical view from far above. It is, instead, a result of the meticulous collection of details that are often related by people who were closely involved in the action. Window to Freedom: A Journey of Survival, is a marvelous example of just such a source. In his recently released memoir, former Boswell resident Marian Wiacek tracks his experience as a Polish boy whose family is first deported from their homeland and then pushed into a bewildering odyssey that would take them into Asia and Africa and the Middle East before the Second World War came to a close. Drawing on diaries he kept as a child, a keen eye for detail and his remarkable memory, Wiacek’s descriptions, and a sparkling array of rare photographs, pull the reader into an unfamiliar and uncomfortable world. Wiacek was just 10 years of age in 1940 when Soviet soldiers arrived to herd him, his mother, eight-year-old brother and five-year-old sister into a train of cattle wagons destined for Russia. His father had already been arrested and it would be years before his fate became known. (He was one of thousands of Polish soldiers captured and murdered by the Soviet army.) As the oldest child, even at 10, young Marian took his responsibilities seriously. After a torturous two-week winter train ride, with as many as 70 people crowded into each cattle wagon, which featured a hole in the floor serving as the toilet, the prisoners — arrested for no reason other than being Polish — disembarked to a labour camp. Marian quickly became an adventurous and creative contributor. His mother, who had been comfortably ensconced in the Polish upper middle class only days earlier, worked as a logging laborer, and Marian ventured into the woods. There he put to use his enormous store of common sense and knowledge gained from mushroom-picking expeditions near his former home to good use. Soon, he was gathering mushrooms and berries and using rudimentary fishing poles and lines to catch fish. In short order he was drying mushrooms and selling them to others to help supplement the family’s meager income as members suffered from illnesses common to those who live in poverty. His entrepreneurial bent would continue to serve him well throughout the war. Astonishing in its detail is an up close and personal recollection of one boy’s wartime life in wartime. Wiacek’s family was

among as many as two million Poles who were captured and imprisoned in labour camps in Siberia and other Soviet Union locations. In 2011, he was awarded the Siberian Cross, recognizing enforced Polish deportations, in a ceremony at Creston’s Royal Canadian Legion.
The story takes an unexpected turn in 1941, when Poland becomes a Russian ally as a result of the German invasion. Technically freed and no longer considered prisoners, the Wiacek family is once again on the move, but at the mercy of armies and bureaucrats in a world deep in conflict. A month-long train trip southward, with food scarce and illness rampant, takes them to another camp, where work in the cotton fields provides meager sustenance. In 1942 the Polish army organizes their travel by ship to Iran and, eventually, Uganda. By the end of the war, Wiacek was preparing for life
as a Polish soldier, living in Palestine and attending a mechanical high school. In 1947, he made his way to England, where he found work and was able to bring his other family members from East Africa.
Wiacek’s memoir makes for a satisfying reading experience, providing day-to-day details of his life and putting them into the context of a world at war. Window to Freedom was edited by Luanne Armstrong and Betsy Brierley, and the book’s cover and interior design are the work of Boswell’s Warren Clark. Armstrong commends the book as “of interest to anyone of Polish heritage, to scholars of World War Two, to fans of great non-fiction, and to interest readers internationally.” Window to Freedom is available in Creston at Kingfisher Used Books or it can be ordered from Marian Wiacek, for $25 at 1453 Farrell Avenue, Delta, BC, V4L 1V3 or at mardanwia@gmail.com.

E.K. crisis line provides immediate help
By LOrNe ecKerSLey Advance Staff
“There are local services available to people in crisis, but we need to get the word out about how to find them,” said Creston RCMP Staff Sgt. Darryl Hammond. Hammond’s concern stemmed from a police file in which a local person didn’t know where to turn for help. “Help is only a phone call
away, where Crisis Line volunteers can help a caller get access to the resources and support they need,” he said. The East Kootenay Crisis Line, managed by the Canadian Mental Health Association for the Kootenays, provides a crisis safety net for East Kootenay residents. A call to 1-888-353CARE (2273) connects callers to volunteers, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Volunteers are trained to deal with a vari-
ety of mental health issues, including suicide, stressors in relationships, and domestic violence. “Crisis Line volunteers are available to listen, help problem solve, and have access to information on a number of mental health resources,” according to the organization’s website (www.kootenays.cmha.bc.ca). “Referrals and protocols are in place for emergencies to ensure quality assistance to callers.”
Creston RCMP calls include dumpster diver, stolen truck and trailer By LOrNe ecKerSLey Advance Staff Creston RCMP responded to 67 calls for service from March 14-20, Staff Sgt. Darryl Hammond said on Monday. March 14 •After receiving complaints about a barking dog on 10th Avenue North, police checked and found no one at the residence to care for it. The dog was taken to the Pet Adoption and Welfare Society for safekeeping. •When police investigated a complaint about a dumpster diver at the Mallory Road landfill dropoff, they learned he is a professional diver from Nelson who makes a living travelling the Kootenays and pulling items of use or value from garbage bins. •Police are investigating a report that a car crash several months ago was caused by an altercation between the driver and a passenger. •A quantity of metal items, including appliances, was dumped illegally at the end of 32nd Avenue South. •A flashing light reported on the mountain near Kitchener was determined to be from a radio tower. •A possibly impaired driver was reported on Riverview Road but the vehicle was not located. March 15 •A minor crash was reported in a Canyon Street parking lot. •A check of several area RCMP detachments revealed that a reported missing semi driver was fine. •A loud music complaint was received from 11th Avenue South. •A hit and run from March 11 in the 1000 block of Northwest Boulevard was reported. March 16 •A vehicle was reported to have passed others on a double solid line on Highway 21. •A male in his 20s was reported to be checking a number of vehicles on Speers Road. •Police assisted the Nelson Police Department by serving a warrant in the 12000 block of Highway 3A in connection with a mischief charge. •A wallet found on 18th Avenue South was returned to the owner. •A speeding driver stopped on Highway 3A near Lewis Bay was found to have a driving prohibition in place. He was served with the notice. •A mudslide was reported near Arrow Creek Bridge on Highway 3. •A concern for someone’s safety was reported after Facebook comments were published. March 17 •A complaint about damage to a trailer on
Jackson Street was resolved among neighbours without police intervention. •No injuries resulted from a two-car collision on Canyon Street. •Speed patrols on 16th Avenue South were requested. •An intoxicated male reported to be at the door of a Yahk residence was located and arrested, then held overnight in police cells. March 18 •A Cedar Street resident reported an angry male on the doorstep. He had gone when police arrived. •An ex-boyfriend reported to be yelling at a Yahk residence left without causing harm. •Police served a summons on behalf of the Canadian Revenue Agency. •Police assisted a Saskatchewan RCMP investigation by visiting a Yahk residence where unwanted text messages were received. •A resident complained about receiving unwanted religious pamphlets. •A minor theft complaint was made by a Hillside Street resident. •A high-speed chase ensued after a vehicle mirror was clipped by a passing vehicle on Highway 3 near Yahk. Both parties made complaints to police. March 19 •An 11th Avenue North resident was reported to be playing loud music to annoy a neighbor. •A Yahk resident reported being charged by a neighbour’s dog. •Police forwarded a report about an unattended campfire to the local fire department. •A male located on Northwest Boulevard was found to be in breach of court conditions. He now faces further charges. March 20 •A Sinclair Road resident complained about a prank phone call from youths who seemed to have been drinking alcohol. •A dead dog that had been shot was found near the Kidd Creek Forest Service Road. •A truck and trailer that were reported stolen in Golden were located on Helen Street. Missing was a skid-steer that was also stolen.
Established by communityminded people in the 1970s, the Crisis Line has evolved into a service with a comprehensive training program and community safeguards in place, and is now considered an essential service in the region. “We are striving to be an integral part of the East Kootenays by offering a 24 hour support system and safety net to those in crisis. We’ve also been part of a consultation team for clients with chronic mental illness, to ensure a strong support system is in place when things are not going well.” Creston RCMP, Hammond said, get frequent calls relating to suicidal behavior, from friends and family requesting well-being checks to emergency calls for medical treatment. It is helpful, he said, to understand more about the problem. The Crisis Line website provides the following information:
Anxiety – Worrying about things we have no control over such as job losses and finances. Trapped – Feelings of being stuck in a hopeless situation that there is no way out of. Hopelessness – Feeling like nothing will ever get better. Withdrawal – Pulling away from family, friends, or activities when they are needed the most. Anger – Feelings of constant rage and anger. Recklessness – Taking dangerous risks with health or safety. Mood Changes – Marked changes in mood. If you or anyone you know displays one or more of these warning signs for suicide, please call the crisis line and talk with one of our empathetic and skilled crisis line workers for support and information. They can help assess the situation, work jointly to create a safe plan, and help connect you or the person you’re concerned about to appropriate community health resources. How do people access support? Call the Crisis Line at 1-888-353 CARE (2273); or Call 1-800-SUICIDE a 24/7 provincial network providing every person in B.C. with access to critical suicide intervention and prevention.

Getting it right
One of my favourite stories tells of the foreign student who is baffled by a Canadian schoolmate who struggles in English class. “Isn’t it your language?” he asks. My love of language no doubt was a key factor in my chosen career as a newspaperman (which is the way I like to describe myself). I was always a good speller and writing came easily to me, but I am routinely surprised to see and hear glaring errors in spelling, word usage and pronunciation at every turn. Why, I wonder, can’t people take advantage of the world of resources that are at their very fingertips when they are sitting at a computer? In my early days at the Advance, editors Sue Betcher and Helena White and I liked nothing better than to start out our Fridays by tackling the very good crossword puzzle that we ran in each Thursday (the Advance had Monday and Thursday editions back then). We worked independently to solve the puzzle, but would consult if we got stuck on a clue. When we were all baffled one of us would make the call to the Creston Public Library, where chief librarian Barb Thomas was only too happy to help (although chances were that she would know the answer without having to consult reference books!). That was in the late 1970s and early 1980s, though. Personal computers and the Internet had not yet changed our lives. Fast-forward to today, when while writing I might do a Google search or use an online dictionary or access one of more of a seemingly infinite refer-
ence sources, all accessed with a couple of simply key strokes. We are in an age where information is more easily available than ever before, and I am thrilled to be part of it.
Lorne Eckersley I love that questions that arise from a simple conversation can be answered immediately. Who wrote that book or song? When did that happen? What was that song lyric? What poet talked about fog and cat’s feet? (Carl Sandburg in Fog, where he wrote, “The fog comes on little cat feet. It sits looking over harbor and city on silent haunches and then moves on.” Sometimes it doesn’t even take a search engine. An app on my iPhone identifies a song playing on the radio within seconds, with astonishing accuracy. Start to tap an address into Google Maps and the location often pops up before you have even entered the name of a city. Earlier this year we watched the movie Brooklyn, for which the lead actress received an Academy Award nomination. Saoirse Ronan played the role as an Irish immigrant to the U.S. beautifully. But how on earth is that name pronounced? By Googling “pronounce saoirse” — don’t waste
effort with capitalizations — and the answer is provided verbally within seconds. “SEER-shuh”. I have no recollection about how I learned the pronunciation of Siobhan (“Shih-VON”) in preInternet days, but I do remember being fascinated last year when watching a YouTube video of a Scot sitting in an arm chair and pronouncing a list of Scotch whisky names. I was surprised at how many I didn’t know. So when I hear a broadcaster mispronounce a word, my first thought is, “How much effort would it have taken to get it right?” But the trick, of course, is that you first have to suspect you might not have it right. When I was a kid I treasured my two hardcover activity books that included puzzles, stories and jokes. But for years I puzzled over a knock-knock joke. “Knock-knock.” “Who’s there?” “Theophilus.” “Theophilus who?” “Theophilus Punovall!” (Confession: I just Googled Theophilus to double-check the spelling.) What, I wondered, was funny about that pun? Too stubborn to simply ask my parents, I kept my bafflement to myself until one day, through some unrecalled source, I learned that Theophilus is not pronounced the-oh-FILL-us, but theAWFUL-us. My childhood would have been less complicated if I had only had Google and YouTube! Lorne Eckersley is the publisher of the Creston Valley Advance.

Canada’s future bright To the Editor: Three years from now, Canadians will be heading back to the polls for our 43rd federal election (but I suspect you already knew that). By 2019, I believe the Conservative Party will return in full force, completely reorganized, well disciplined, highly motivated and with new, fresh ideas — having a little faith wouldn’t hurt either! All it needs is the right leader (whoever he or she will be), who possesses a warm heart, has a sense of humour, is compassionate, sentimental, strong-willed, spiritual and a progressive thinker, and who is not afraid to go against the grain for the greater good of everyone — as well as for future generations. Come to think of it, all of these same qualities pretty much describe me! As for me personally, I believe all men and women are created equal, along with the First Nations and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT), because we are all God’s children. Racism, bigotry and any type of bullying have no place in society. It is also important to protect the most vulnerable, such as the poor, and those who are unable to care for themselves. Anyway, let the conservative revolution begin! In closing, I would like to wish everyone a happy Easter, and remember, the Lord is always watching over you, along with his angels. I also look forward to this time every year to watch the film The Ten Commandments on TV, starring Charlton Heston as Moses. This is one of my favourite movies of all time, from 1956. You take care, keep thinking positively, be optimistic, and have faith and

hope, because great and wonderful things are on the horizon. Angels exist and miracles do occur. Allan clement Creston
To the Editor: The discouragement voiced by Emily Ritter-Riegling in The Teen Take (“Act Now to Preserve World for Our Future Generations”, March 3) is saddening. The constant beating of the drums of doom by the apostles of the apocalypse leads to unnecessary and false fear of the future. False? “The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now,” said Paul Ehrlich in The Population Bomb (1968). “What Ehrlich predicted for the 1970s could be waiting for us in the 1990s,” said David Suzuki and Anita Gordon in It’s A Matter of Survival (1990). And now in 2016? The food problem in the West is too many of us are too fat. Only where there are tribal or religious wars or where there are totalitarian dictators is there still widespread serious malnutrition and starvation, though the push for biofuels by the apostles of the apocalypse such as Al Gore do bring a wider risk. If Emily and her cohorts obey the dicta of the apostles of the apocalypse, and retreat to the caves, then yes, they will see a world that is worse, and their lives will be diminished. Instead, read widely. Read The Skeptical Environmentalist by Bjorn
Lomborg, Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout by Patrick Moore, Smaller, Faster, Lighter, Denser, Cheaper by Robert Bryce and about Nobel Peace Prize winner Norman Borlaug. Read I Touch the Future by Robert T. Holler — a bad ending to the flight, but Christa McAuliffe was one who chose to “do”, not to retreat to the caves. Read widely, think critically, question, challenge. Watch the Ted Talk, “How Not to be Ignorant About the World”, by Hans and Ola Rosling. If Emily and her cohorts choose to do, then the world will be a better place, and their lives will be enriched. Do what? Certainly, maintain a good work-family balance. Career wise, here are a few of the multitude of options: become a chemical engineer and operate a plant that extracts lithium from spodumene, become an engineer and design better turbines and pumps to improve the efficiency of hydro and of pumped storage, become a surgeon and keep grandparents mobile with knee or hip replacements, or become a carpenter and build and repair and improve people’s homes. If the choice is to do, will you have setbacks? Of course. Will you make mistakes? Certainly; you are human. Will it be hard? Let John F. Kennedy answer that one: “We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.” Retreat to the caves, or do: the choice is with Emily and her cohorts.

sho, or enlightenment experience. “Buddhas grumble when you idealize enlightenment,” says Dogen. Only people who know nothing about Zen would say this. Nothing could be more harmful than teaching the dharma this way. Here, Dogen denies the common view of Zen practice that he encountered when he travelled to China to train with the Chinese masters. At that time in China many Zen teachers emphasized the enlightenment experience. We still see this today in the pop spirituality movements that encourage us to imagine that we can attend a workshop to have an enlightenment that will free us from suffering. “This is not the Buddha dharma,” says Dogen. Finally he says, “Confined words and phrases do not lead to liberation.” Here he is referring to the popular Zen practice of studying koans, teaching stories about the realizations of past Zen teachers. Dogen is denying that the powerful insights that come from koan study lead to liberation. With these words he wipes away everything that previous Zen teachers have taught and has us sitting on the edge of our seats. If those three ways of practice don’t free us, what do? Dogen answers our question. “There is something free from all of these views. Green mountains are always walking
and eastern mountains travel on water.” This is astonishing. He is telling us that the answer to the mystery is a poetic phrase. In effect he is saying, “When I say green mountains are always walking and eastern mountains travel on water, I am not talking about all this other stuff. I’m not using Zen phrases in the same way, and you must study this in detail. In other words, setting up a Zen phrase or enlightenment experiences as more important than an ordinary phrase or ordinary living is a mistake that leads to all kinds of goal seeking, hierarchies and harmful dynamics. He doesn’t deny that there is a transcendent and powerful life full of gratitude, but that life is no other than the one we are living in this very moment, right here. Suggested practice: In the next two weeks, notice the various ways in which you look to the future to bring you lasting happiness. Then see true happiness right here, right now. 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 Fischer. For more information, Minogue can be reached at 250-428-6500, and previous columns are available at www.zenwords.net.

Enlightenment is nothing special
In his essay, “Mountains and Rivers Sutra”, Eihei Dogen, a 13th century Zen monk, lists several ways of understanding the Zen teachings. He presents three traditional approaches to understanding. The first phrase he discusses in this paragraph is “turning circumstances and turning the mind.”
A Zen'sEye View Kuya Minague Zen teachers before Dogen said that what we need to do is “turn circumstances and turn the mind” rather than allowing circumstances of daily life and thoughts that arise in mind to turn us. But Dogen says no, that’s not it; that’s not what the Buddha taught. In his next sentence he refers to a teaching that many Zen masters of his day emphasized, “seeing into mind and seeing into essence.” These words are a translation of the Japanese word, ken-

Many ‘someones’ keep TAPS running smoothly
“Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah, strumming on the old banjo.” There are many “someones” in the kitchen at the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors and the strumming today comes from the big room where Ivan and Vera are practicing while the rest of the Tuesday Strummers arrive. The enticing smell of meatballs cooking and date cake just out of the oven attracts appreciative comments from the morning arrivals.
Tips from TAPS Maureen Cameron A lunch meal is offered most days, except when an outing to a local restaurant is planned, and it takes many hands to bring it all together. For some folks, coming to share a meal in good company is the highlight of their day or week. If you peek in during prep, cooking, serving or cleanup times, you’ll see a flurry of activity, except for the much needed “supervisors” — SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 8 (KOOTENAY LAKE) IS HOLDING A SPECIAL OPEN BOARD MEETING TO ADVANCE A DRAFT FACILITIES PLAN at 5:00 P.M. (times are PST) Tuesday, March 29, 2016 Board Office, 570 Johnstone Road, Nelson BC Video Conferencing to Creston at: Creston Education Centre, 617-11th Ave., S., Creston Public Welcome
you know, the dedicated back benchers sitting along the far wall whose idea of participation is to watch and comment. Everyone finds their place at TAPS. Then there’s the dining room setup with chairs and cloths and place settings, serving refreshments and eventually bringing the meal items to the tables and then dessert. And, of course, the dishes, then cleanup to do. Amidst all this is the joking with one another, teasing, quiet times, meeting new people, or noticing someone needs help. I mentioned we had a mix of ages in our volunteer team, and indeed the age range is from 19-80. Nikki and Clare are our youngest, having originally been part of a student work experience through the high school. Mentored by our staff and experienced volunteers, Nikki and Clare have become a much loved and appreciated part of the team. We are pleased to be part of their lives, too, as we see them mastering new skills, sharing who they are and bringing joy to our seniors and to the staff. Participants from the Cresteramics program come once a week with Colleen, Ed and Reg as our awesome cookie making team under the guidance of Randy. Our yearlong program working with youth from Grizzly Bear Out of School Care, Homelinks and the Mormon Hills School is coming to a close. We at TAPS want to thank the teachers, instructors and students for participating in this intergenerational and multigenerational project to get to know each other through sharing stories and culture. We’ll be writing more about what we all got up to, and plan to display the project at events around town in the coming months. Our thanks to a grant from the federal government’s New Horizons for Seniors program.
Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors volunteers Claire and Nikki.
A big thank you to all who bought our 2016 calendar, to Mike at Creston Card and Stationery, to Teresa and Gary at Black Bear Books, and Joe and Katherine at Kingfisher Used Books for putting them on display, and the Creston Rotary Club for its financial assistance. Maintaining a program like TAPS in our community is a credit to all of you. It is one way we can honour the lives of our seniors and their life contributions by providing this opportunity for social engagement and being part of the community with a little help from friends.

many parts of the world. March here has been mild. Planting fruit trees is OK now; most of them are quite tolerant of cold nights when dormant, anyway. If you have a few days of sun in a row and the nights are around or above freezing, it is safe enough to apply your dormant sprays. Remember to keep the sulphur component off your apricot trees. Some of them are damaged by it. Dormant sprays are applied to the orchard trees right up to when the blossoms open. Farmers that wait longer get a better bug kill from the oil component of the spray. I usually take care of it a little earlier because I run out of time later. As for fertilizers, it is recommended that you use a split application of all purpose or fruit tree food with half now and half later on in June. This will help keep the trees from growing too much vegetatively (green growth) early in the season. This should help even out the fruit production too, one year over the next.

Keeping our walks and trails user friendly Since coming to the Creston Valley many years ago, I have noticed a great increase in recreational options around the valley. There has also been a big change, for the better, in people’s attitude
healthy activities, together in company with other trail users, such as bikers, walkers and hikers. Barring a few incidents, I have also observed an increasingly greater positive role taken in pet management by pet owners, and paralleling that, a higher level of accommodation by other trail users for pets and their owners. It grows from an increased respect for others and awareness for that need. There are many matters that pet owners give strict attention to. One is maintainEd McMackin ing a healthy trail environtowards recreational activities and ment. It’s nice to know that the involvement in those opportuni- trail is clean so that people with ties. More specifically, little two-year-olds can enjoy the today, there are a lot more walk without having to monitor trails and walks available, their charge every second to make and a lot more people tak- sure they don’t pick up some dog ing advantage of the posi- “goodie”.

While hiking trails from Kaslo and their pets to enjoy River Trail to the SandpointDover Community Trail and the Nelson Salmo Great Northern Trail to the Cranbrook Elizabeth Lake trails, I have seen some very innovative and even amusing signs to remind pet owners and others of pet management that will help make trails more user friendly. Business is picking up! Ed McMackin is a biologist by profession but a naturalist and hiker by nature. He can be reached at 250-866-5747.

Footlighters auditioning for summer melodrama FOOtLIGHterS tHeAtre SOcIety
Footlighters Theatre Society’s 21st season concluded on the weekend with the locally written The Stepsisters’ Revenge, and the troupe is preparing for its 22nd season by holding auditions at 7 p.m. March 29 at the Sasquatch for The Secret of Charity Teach, the melodrama that will run in July. The latest in a long string of summer melodramas, The Secret of Charity Teach will be the directorial debut for Jennifer Adams, who has had roles in many recent productions, including Cinderella and its sequel, The Stepsisters’ Revenge, Carousel and last season’s melodrama, The Great Ice Cream Scheme. “I really love performing, but I’ve considered directing for quite a while,” said Adams. “I’m excited to see my vision for this play brought to life.” As with any good melodrama, the play is rich in the required elements — unattainable love, secrets, deception and trickery. Pirates, ancient buried treasure, sight gags and physical humour add to the fun. The Secret of Charity Teach involves Franklin Degwood, mayor of a town famous for the

Charity and determines that the town now has two treasures he wants to claim. And he has the help of the foxy Femoria Fatale and pirate professor Percival Woolsey. The cast requires five men and three women. Auditions will be by cold readings from the script, as well as briefly singing. While not all performers will have to sing solo in the performance, leading actors will likely take part in a song or two. As well as adding songs, new jokes will also be added, giving this old-fashioned melodrama a new twist sure to bring laughter to audiences of all ages. “There will definitely be opportunities for performers to bring their own ideas to the show,” said Adams. For more information, contact Adams at 250-431-8106. The production of The Secret of Charity Teach will run July 7-9, kicking off a season scheduled to include Beauty and the Beast in December and And Then There Were None in March.

COTR, PCSS team up for carpentry program cOLLeGe OF tHe rOcKIeS
The College of the Rockies (COTR) and Prince Charles Secondary School’s (PCSS) seventh offering of the foundation carpentry program kicked off in February. Offered at the high school by both PCSS and COTR instructors, the program provides both high school students and community members the opportunity to complete foundation-level carpentry training. Students enrolled at PCSS are able to enrol in the carpentry program through the Accelerated Credit Enrolment in Industry Training (ACE-IT) program, which allows students to obtain both high school graduation credits and the first year of a trade program. This year’s carpentry program has 13 students enrolled, 11 of whom are a part of the ACE-IT program. “Our partnership with Prince Charles Secondary School has been ongoing for several years,” said COTR trades and technology dean
“We have seen dozens of young people get their start in productive trades careers and pursue opportunities throughout the province and country.” Scott Cobbe PCSS principal
Jack Moes. “It is a great winwin, allowing us to leverage PCSS facilities while offering a beneficial program to PCSS students, as well as to others in the community. Graduates of the program also help to fill local labour market demands.” The carpentry program includes a substantial hands-on learning component, with students framing an actual home during the course of their training. Completion of the foundation program provides students with a comprehensive set of skills and knowledge needed to seek entry-level employment in the construction industry or to market themselves to future
employers should they be interested in seeking apprenticeships. “The ACE-IT program, and the earlier versions of trades training programs that PCSS has partnered with College of the Rockies on, have been enormously successful for the young men and women of the Creston Valley,” said PCSS principal Scott Cobbe. “We have seen dozens of young people get their start in productive trades careers and pursue opportunities throughout the province and country. I am very happy to renew and consolidate our partnership with the college.” To learn more about the program, visit cotr.ca/carpentry.

Our jobs kept us away from home and family so we decided to open a business where we could work and be together and spend more time with our families. Since Mark’s daughter has been going to school in Creston for the past five years it made perfect sense that we could make a great life here, in this beautiful valley. Our Lone Ranger Plus 1 Construction Company can build your new and renovate your keeper. We are honest, reliable, and take pride in our work. Whenever possible we source our materials locally. Hopefully we’ll be busy enough to hire local help to our team soon.
So please, give us a call so we can talk about what we can do for you!

Be the Change students join Blue Dot movement cANyON-LISter eLeMeNtAry ScHOOL
On Feb. 16, Canyon-Lister Elementary School’s Be the Change group officially joined the Blue Dot movement, a project of the David Suzuki Foundation that believes all people have a fundamental human right to clean air, soil and water. CLES Be the Change students lead an assembly to celebrate. Their presentation was to educate and inspire their fellow students to take action, to become a part of looking after and protecting the environment: “We believe that everyone has the right to clean air, clean soil and clean water. In the fall, the Be the Change group took charge. We spent four weeks trying to change our everyday behaviours. We tried to live environmentally aware. “Some of us brushed our teeth only using a cup of water, instead

of the Canadian average which is eight litres of water wasted every time we brush our teeth! In four weeks we saved almost 2,000 litres of water. “Some of us picked up garbage. We picked up a total of 671 pieces of garbage. “Some of us brought in electronics to recycle. We brought computer cords, walkie-talkies, cellphones, phones, kettles and other household appliances. Did you know that when we recycle a cellphone, we save the environment? Every time minerals used to make cellphones are mined, important habitat of endangered animals is destroyed. We saved these items from going into our dumps, leaking metals and poisoning our ground water. “Some of us brought one garbageless lunch to school each week. We brought reusable containers, we brought fruit that

comes with its own natural wrapping and we cut down packaging waste from going into our school garbage. “During the last few weeks, Be the Change group has been busy. We each wrote a true story about an environmental issue that is important to us. One student wrote about going on a fishing trip with their dad — believing that we need clean water to catch and eat clean fish. He wants to always be able to go fishing with his dad! Some of us wrote about the need to save the caribou — believing that they need clean land to live on and call home. Some wrote about the butterflies — believing that we need clean air for the butterflies to be healthy and to pollinate our flowers and our food.” A student inspired pillowcase project topped things off! On one side, the pillowcases spelled “Be the Change”, and when they
were flipped over, there were beautiful images of fish, caribou, butterflies, lizards, horses — what children are passionate about: clean air, land and water. At the end of the assembly, Be the Change students pledged to be
silent for the rest of the day, silently standing up for the environmental issue that they believe in. As Be the Change students, they believe it is important to, as Mahatma Ghandi said, “be the change you wish to see in the world.”

Cracking egg myths in time for Easter Easter eggs are a centrepiece of many family traditions come Easter Sunday. Easter eggs symbolize fertility and rebirth to some, but many people associate Easter eggs with youngsters scouring the yard in search of treasure. Whether Easter eggs are associated with secular or religious beliefs, these colourful staples of Easter Sunday are an integral part of springtime holiday decor and celebrations. Certain misconceptions about Easter eggs have developed over time, and the following are some of the more common myths about Easter eggs that have made the rounds. Myth: Easter eggs are safe to eat after your egg hunt is over. Fact: Hard-boiled eggs generally remain safe to eat at room temperature for about two hours. If the temperature outside or indoors is very warm, the eggs should be eaten within one hour. People risk food-borne illnesses if they consume Easter eggs that have been left out for several hours or overnight. It is better to dispose of coloured eggs after the annual egg hunt or at least keep hardboiled eggs refrigerated until the hunt begins. Myth: It is unsafe to eat all dyed Easter eggs. Fact: Whether dyed eggs are safe or not depends on the type of dye used. Many kits use vegetablebased dyes that are food-safe. These same pigments are used in traditional food colouring. Even if the dye has penetrated beneath the shell, it should still be safe for consumption. Kits for blown-out eggs may use dyes that are not food-safe. Also, people who are allergic to certain food dyes might want to avoid eating dyed eggs. Myth: Pastel-coloured eggs have long-rooted religious significance. Fact: An Easter egg hunt is a tradition that originated with pagan spring festivals. But like many pagan practices, Easter egg hunting was eventually adopted by Christians and assigned religious significance. In the Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Churches, Easter eggs are dyed red to represent the blood of Christ shed on the cross. The hard shell of the egg symbolizes the sealed Tomb of Christ for many. In A.D. 1610 under Pope Paul V, the Christian Church officially adopted the Easter

egg custom that the eggs symbolize the resurrection. Myth: An Easter egg roll is an American tradition. Fact: In Germany, England and other countries, children traditionally rolled eggs down hillsides at Easter. This practice may have initially symbolized the rolling away of the rock from Jesus Christ’s tomb before his resurrection. When European immigrants arrived in North America, they brought these Easter egg traditions with them. Myth: A raw egg will stand on end during the spring equinox. Fact: It is believed that because the sun is equidistant from the south and north poles on the spring equinox, special gravitational forces apply on this day. These forces should make it possible to balance an egg on its end only on this day. However, eggs can be balanced at other times of the year.

East Kootenay
Jumbo municipality to defer joining RDEK By Steve Hubrecht Columbia Valley Pioneer
Jumbo Glacier Resort municipality is making it clear that it doesn't plan to take a seat at the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) board of directors table any time soon. The Jumbo council passed a resolution at its most recent council meeting to push back the time when it is scheduled to do just that. The resolution was proposed by Jumbo mayor Greg Deck at the March 15 council meeting, requesting the provincial government amend the part of the municipality's letters patent (the provincial legislation that created and incorporated the mountain resort municipality) that would have seen it become a sitting member of the RDEK when it either had sufficient residents, reached a certain level of assessment, or in January 2017, whichever came first. “We do not have those residents yet,” said Deck, who was participating in the meeting by phone, noting the January 2017 date is coming up soon. He said that although the municipality is chipping in financially to the RDEK by paying hospital and RDEK taxes, there is little point in it doing any more than that. “All the reasons to not have an active role in the RDEK will still be there in January 2017 and are still sound,” he said. “I think we should ask
Women’s hockey coming to Kimberley
the provincial government to extend that original timeline for another three years to January 2020 (by amending the letters patent).” He added the move should not attract any controversy. Deck later said the proposed three-year extension does not necessarily mean that January 2020 is when the municipality expects to have enough residents or be developed enough to warrant a seat on the RDEK board of directors, and in that sense is somewhat arbitrary. “It’s difficult to say (when there will be residents and development) because there are many outside factors that make it hard to predict that schedule," said Deck. The resolution passed unanimously.
money coming in. I have to show in the (2016) budget the potential for these funds to come in,” said Sharp. “In the actual financial statement at the end of the year (2016), that's when it will show we have deferred the funds.” As evidence, she pointed to the 2015 financial statements, page five of which has a budgeted revenue of about $250,000 in government transfers contrasted with an actual revenue of roughly $121,000 in government transfers. “We did not actually receive the Small Communities Grant, we deferred it. The figures show how that works out,” she said. The financial plan bylaw will likely be adopted at the next Jumbo council meeting.

FLOOR MODEL CLEARANCE SALE STARTS MARCH 24TH , WHILE QUANTITIES LAST
BY BARRY COULTER Cranbrook Daily Townsman
Kimberley will be the hometown of a new junior hockey team, a women's team that plays in a league dedicated to providing opportunities for young women to develop into collegiate student-athletes. The Junior Women’s Hockey League announced that it has approved three new teams for next season, which marks the league's 10-year anniversary. Mikko Makela, former NHL player and longtime Warner Hockey School coach, will coach the team. Ridley College in St. Catherines, Ont., and the Chicago “Young Americans” (Chicago, IL), will also begin play for 2016-2017. A press release from the league said that Makela knows the JWHL well and will be able to bring elite players to Kimberley. The league quoted the Kimberley Academy as saying they "are thrilled" at the opportunity presented by the JWHL to be joining one of the premier female hockey leagues in North America. “We are very excited to build on the long hockey tradition of our community by adding an elite female program to the renowned Dynamiter hockey history." The Junior Women's Hockey League was established in 2007 by Bill Driscoll and Kush Sidhu. It started with four teams, and has since expanded to more than a dozen in Canada and the U.S. Teams are assigned to a division (East or West), based mostly on where the organizations are located. Each team plays against the other teams in its division 3 times and against the teams in the other division two times during the regular season for a 27 game regular season. Following the regular season, a playoff is held to determine the champion. “The JWHL has been successful at developing players because of our commitment to our teams and athletes,” said JWHL co-founder Kush Sidhu said. "With a few teams leaving the JWHL, we are able to take this opportunity to bring in three solid and proven partners who will help us execute on our mission going forward.”
During the meeting, Jumbo council also gave initial readings to its 20162020 financial plan bylaw and received and accepted the municipality's 2015 audited financial statements. Jumbo chief financial officer Karen Sharp pointed out a discrepancy between the two documents — that the financial plan bylaw (which is the municipality's budget) shows the Small Communities Grant and Community Works Fund coming in future years, while the 2015 audited financial statements show them being deferred during the previous year. The Jumbo municipality receiving these grants has been the subject of previous controversy. “We still have to recognize on the financial plan that we could have that

New game is ‘karmic judo’ BY WILL JOHNSON Nelson Star
You start out as a dung beetle, but if you play your cards right you could end up as a transcendent being. That’s the concept behind Karmaka, a tactical board game created by Nelson developer Eddie Boxerman, and it’s one that earned him $220,000 in a Kickstarter campaign earlier this year. “I like to think of it as a sort of karmic judo,” Boxerman told the Nelson Star. “It’s based on the theme of karmic justice— what goes around, comes around — so if I do something nasty to someone, they’re going to be able to do that to me during my next life. But if I do something nice, then ultimately I’ll benefit.” Your pile of cards counts as a life, and as you watch them dwindle you can also watch Nelson developer Eddie Boxerman has created a tactical card game called Karmaka in which players must work their way up the karmic ladder from dung beetle to transcendent being. It will receive a large-scale international release in approximately six months. Will Johnson
your future life begin to pile up face-down. Part of the strategy involves funnelling as many positive cards in that direction as possible, but often other priorities get in the way — just like in real life. “It’s pretty tactical. It can sound a bit Zen, the whole idea of trying to become a transcendent being, but at the end of the day you’re still trying to win a game. It’s a competitive, not cooperative game.” This was an idea Boxerman has been kicking around for years, since before releasing his first game, Osmos, about seven years ago. That’s when he started collaborating with Toronto’s Dave Burke, the game’s co-creator. And though they’d spent years on the project, they didn’t anticipate the success their Kickstarter campaign would enjoy. “We were trying to raise $20,000, because that’s what we figured was the minimum to do a production run with the manufacturer,” said Boxerman. “If we hadn’t made 20 I would’ve been disappointed, 20 to 50 would’ve been pretty good but 220? We couldn’t believe it.” That means they can produce a premium quality game, as opposed to the smaller scale

version they envisioned. They also need to deliver the game to 7,500 customers worldwide by November, something Boxerman has been busily preparing for from his co-working space above the Oso Negro coffee shop. “We’re going to push the button on manufacturing in two to three months. They take two to three months to manufacture, then we get them on boats and send them everywhere in the world.” Their first run will be 10,000 copies, and they’re also trying to find their way into retail stores. The illustrations were done by Marco Bucci, an artist with experience working on the Star Wars franchise and with Mattel. The game is intended for two to four players, with a twoplayer game lasting 30 minutes and a four-player one often taking an hour. Boxerman said he feels supported by the artistic community of Nelson, and appreciates the growing tech community. His wife Angela Schade grew up here and they have a young daughter. He’s thrilled he can do his work from such a picturesque locale. “The city has been doing a lot to attract tech people and support them, and I really appreciate that,” he said.

Muriel Fulop (Jones) August 15, 1936 ~ March 11, 2016
Muriel Fulop passed away peacefully on March 11, 2016 surrounded by her family.
Born in Edmonton, AB to Christopher and Barbara Jones, being the only girl in the middle of four brothers. She married Charles on November 19, 1955. After welcoming two children into their family they moved to Creston in 1968 where Charles operated C. Fulop Development and Muriel worked at Pyramid Building Supplies. She enjoyed many years of bowling, curling, and was an avid hockey fan. She enjoyed going to Bonners Ferry “once or twice” for “dinner” with friends. Playing cards with the grandkids and ‘accidentally’ throwing away the wild card was also popular. Muriel was predeceased by her husband Charlies Fulop in 1998 and her son Curtis Fulop in 1991. Muriel will always be fondly remembered for her love of family, kindness and generosity. She will be dearly missed and forever loved by her daughter Pamela (Jason), and grandchildren James and Nicole. She treasured memories of family, in-laws and out-laws, nieces and nephews and many life long friendships throughout the years. We would like to thank her doctor, nurses, and home care for all the tender loving care given to Mom. A Graveside Service was held on Wednesday, March 16, 2016 at Forest Lawn Cemetery, Erickson, BC. Memorial contributions may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, 19-9th Ave. S. Cranbrook, BC, V1C 2L9.
Obituaries Wayne Edwin Bright Wayne Edwin Bright passed away peacefully on March 15, 2016. Wayne was a man who loved a good joke, fishing, camping and his family. He was remembered for pacing many hockey rinks from end to end while his sons Blaine and Trent were playing. This habit carried on while watching his grandson Cole play the game too. Wayne was always happiest when he was out camping. The more family or friends camping out too, the better. Many mornings when the camp started to rise, Wayne was already out fishing in his boat. He may not have caught much, but he loved being out on the quiet water. Wayne will be dearly missed by his wife Diane, his son Blaine and wife Melanie and his only grandchild, Cole. He was predeceased by his parents Lester and Pearl, and his son Trent. There will be no service at this time. Those wishing to do so may make contributions to the Canadian Cancer Society.
Cora Kirtzinger (nee Daignault) December 8, 1937 ~ February 26, 2016
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Cora Kirtzinger who passed away February 26, 2016 at the age of 78. Cora was born in Fort McLeod, AB on December 8, 1937. Her family moved to the Arrow Creek area where she met and married Lambert in 1957. They moved to Shipman, Saskatchewan in 1961. They then moved to Sunset Prairie, BC in 1965, where Cora ran a small store and post office. Then to Oliver, BC in 1977 and then back to the Creston/Wynndel area in 1979 and have been here ever since. Cora was predeceased by her parents Henri and Valida Daignault; brothers Edgar, Rene, Hubert, Joseph and sister Irene. She will be deeply missed by her loving husband Lambert Kirtzinger; their children Annette, Kyle (Kim), Teresa (Rick) Miller, Eileen, Laurie (Owen) Morris, James, Mark and Denise (Darryl) Dewald, as well as twelve grandchildren and twelve great-grand children; numerous nieces and nephews; her sisters Blanche Johnston, Rose Gaboury, Madeline Meahan, and Yvonne (Len) Siemens; and many in-laws, cousins and friends. A Funeral Service will be held in her honour Tuesday April 12, 2016 at 11am, at the Creston and District Community Complex, Creston Room. Friends and family wishing to make a donation in Cora's name may do so to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. May cardinals sing to her on her journey.
