creston valley advance, january 29, 2015

BY LORNE ECKERSLEYAdvance Staff

Five firefighters have become familiar faces around town since they arrived in Creston on Oct. 31.

Here for a year, they can often be seen jogging on the streets, working out at the fitness centre or volun-teering at Creston Valley Thunder Cats games. And polishing, end-lessly polishing, fire engines at the fire hall on a daily basis.

Shana Toale, Eric Einagle, Jordan Shaw, Evan Slater and Brett Musch are Creston Fire Rescue’s first work experience program participants. They have made a one-year com-

mitment in exchange for learning the daily routines at a community fire hall, being on call 24-hours a day and living on-site in the build-ing across from the fire station.

Each of the program participants followed a different path before com-ing to Creston. Toale graduated from college last August. Einagle attended an academy in Halifax and is a para-medic. Shaw went to the College of the Rockies. Slater came out of a fire-fighting academy in Texas. They all want to become firefighters, a tradi-tionally difficult career to get into.

“Out east in Ottawa there were 2,400 applicants for 34 jobs last year,” said Einagel.

And, while they want to become firefighters, each has a different pic-ture in mind for their future.

“Ideally, I’d like to be back home in Ontario, but wherever the job takes me is where I’ll go,” Toale said.

Einagle said about firefighting that he “fell into it on a whim” but that he has become passionate about the vocation.

“It’s the reason I did the para-medic program,” he said. “Every day is different — you never know what you are going into, good or bad, when the alarm comes in.”

Shaw is driven by his passion for helping people and for physi-cal fitness.

“I like the variety that firefight-ing offers, with its many tasks, and I like working with my hands.”

He has several family members who have made careers in emer-gency services.

“I love the rush of being in a burning building,” he said with a smile.

He hopes to find work in B.C., ideally in Kelowna.

Slater describes himself as being “the odd one out” in his family. His father is a lawyer and both brothers are planning careers in wealth man-agement.

The Creston chapter of the Canadian

Council of the Blind (CCB) will be promot-ing White Cane Week (WCW) at Overwaitea Foods at 10 a.m. Feb. 4 and at Extra Foods at 10 a.m. Feb. 5.

While promoting WCW, which runs Feb. 1-7, members will be selling 50/50 tick-ets for the CCB’s B.C.-Yukon branch. Only

20,000 will be sold in B.C., with proceeds supporting sports and recreation for the blind and visually impaired. Creston president Darren Douma will also be promoting blind golf — Creston will host the Canadian open tournament in the summer — and the BC Blind Sports and Recreation Association.

“We are a new chapter but we get together as a group to participate in sport and social activities, in addition to talking about vision aware-ness and advocacy, and future fundrais-ing for our chapter and for CCB overall,” said Douma, who also represents the Creston Lions Club and Lions

Clubs International, strong advocates for the blind.

With under two months on the job, teen advocate Rachel Wagner is on a mission.

“We have heard from teens and adults that we need a suitable space for a youth cen-tre,” she said. “Now we are asking the community for suggestions about a suitable space. In many other commu-nities, youth centre space is donated by a business or a local hall.”

Wagner grew up in Yahk and graduated from Prince Charles Secondary School, so she is sympathetic to youth who bus in each day for school, then have no place to go if they stay in town for activities in the evening.

A recent example, she said, became apparent when young volunteers worked on Saturday to help set up for the Wild and Scenic Film Festival. On a wet and chilly day they were then without “a home” until the event started in the evening. Fortunately, they were bailed out by the Creston Valley

Public Library, which is an enthusiastic supporter of the Teen Action Committee.

Wagner is clearly excited to be in her new role, with an office in the library and the informal mentorship of Jackie Hula, a member of the Community Advisory Council

and the library’s youth services co-ordinator.

“It is the opportunity to make a difference that makes it really appealing,” she said.

With a four-year funding commitment from Columbia Basin Trust, the Teen Action Committee has resources to put on events for the 12-19 age group.

“We try to be as inclusive as we possibly can,” she said. “We are youth driven — our ideas come from the teens.”

Wagner said TAC draws 20 to 40 young people to events like movie nights — the Harry Potter movie marathon at the library was a hit — and pool parties at the community complex.

Other activities are designed to engage youth in the community. Members were involved in the recent happiness survey, distribut-ing information and encour-aging other young people to participate by taking the sur-vey. Next month they will play an active role in the annual Children’s Winter Festival, which will be held this year at the Lower

Kootenay Band gym on Family Day, Feb. 9.

The combination of adult involvement — new town council-lors Jen Comer and Kevin Boehmer now sit on the advisory council, along with others who represent agencies with a connection to youth services — and teens who attend regular TAC meetings is key to sustaining the program.

“The kids I have been involved with want activities, so we are trying to have at least two or three a month,” Wagner said. “But they also want a youth centre, and that will be our focus in the coming months.”

Anyone with information or suggestions about a potential space for a youth centre is invited to con-tact Wagner through email at [email protected].

Teen Action Committee wants youth centre space

“I like being in the heat of the action. I love to fight fires and to go from hanging around the firehall to putting the pedal to the metal in seconds.”

“You should get that tat-tooed,” Shaw laughs. “I LOVE TO FIGHT FIRES!”

Musch graduated from an emergency services academy near his home in Sherwood Park, Alta., in 2013 and he worked part-time as a firefight-er before coming to Creston. He jumped at the idea of getting a full year of work experience when he read about the new program on Firehall.com, and hopes to land a job in Kelowna or Edmonton.

“So far so good” is how Musch describes his time in Creston. He described station duties — “cleaning a lot of the time” — as important routines that lead to great efficiency when responding to an emer-gency.

The five-person team spends most of its time together. Toale has her own room in a newly constructed area in the build-ing beside the fire hall on 10th Avenue. The four men share

dorm accommodations. They have a small living area and television beside their rooms, but do most of their cooking and eating in the fire hall.

“It’s a 30-foot commute to work,” Shaw jokes.

Einagle said he wasn’t sure what he was stepping into when he arrived in Creston but the experience has been good. He describes it as like having a full-time 40-hour job and being on call for the remaining 120 hours of the workweek.

After living in Montreal, the change to small-town living is dramatic, he admits.

“Everything is seen under a microscope,” he said. “But Creston has all the amenities. If we aren’t in the fire hall we are at the rec centre.”

Shaw is confident that his time in Creston will be well spent.

“This is putting us ahead of the competition,” he said. “I think this will be the last step-ping stone for us to enter our careers. When we go into inter-views we have fire hall-related experience to answer questions with.”

“I didn’t really know what to expect when I came here,” Slater said. “But it’s given me a real understanding of fire sta-tion life.”

All five agree that a work experience program in a small community has its benefits.

“Vancouver, for instance, has a lot of distractions,” Slater said. “But I didn’t plan for this year to be a vacation. The job comes first. Along with my year in Kilgore (Texas), this gives me a good start.”

In a recent report to town council, fire Chief Mike Moore said the work experience pro-gram provides benefits to the community. Insurance under-

writers consider each partici-pant to be the equivalent of three volunteer firefighters, because they are on call 24-hours a day and live on site.

“Having them is like having 15 more volunteers,” he said.

As well, each of the work experience participants brings different training and experi-ence to the Creston fire depart-ment, adding to the overall experience of everyone involved.

All five members won’t nec-essarily be here for the entire year, though. There is an agree-ment that they can leave at any time if they find full-time employment as firefighters.

“This program is a real cred-it to Mike (Moore) and his team,” said Mayor Ron Toyota. “They have worked very hard to make this the best experience possible for these future fire-fighters and we wish them all success in their careers.”

This is the third story in a series about fire service in Creston. The Jan. 15 installment focused on the amount of local calls and potential financial impact, and the Jan. 22 installment discussed the link between fire services and insurance rates.

Hell has frozen over: Twin Peaks is coming back to life.

The resurrection of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s influential early-‘90s TV drama was announced this month to the shock and delight of its fans, including me. The series will return to the Showtime network in 2016, 25 years after it last aired on ABC, leaving sev-eral unresolved cliffhangers.

The show’s premise was eccentric FBI agent Dale Cooper investigating the murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer in the northeastern Washington town of Twin Peaks — a place full of quirky inhabitants and dark secrets. Its leitmotifs included cherry pie, “damn good coffee,” and owls that were not what they seemed.

But what caught my fancy is that it took place just south of us.

The show’s pilot episode was shot in the western part of the state, around Snoqualmie and North Bend, before pro-duction moved to a California sound-stage, but its setting was explained as “five miles south of the Canadian border, 12 miles west of the [Idaho] state line.” On a real-life map, this would place it in an uninhabited spot in Colville National Forest, northeast of Metaline Falls.

Our area received a shout-out on a second-season episode as the villainous Jean Renault told corrupt businessman Benjamin Horne where to deliver a ran-som payment to free his kidnapped daughter Audrey:

“Across the border, five miles east of Grand Forks on the road to Castlegar, is a bar called the Columbian. Behind it is a failed amusement park. Go to the merry-go-round. Leave the briefcase beside the horse with no head.” (In Renault’s French Canadian accent, the S was left off Grand Forks, and the H was absent from horse and head.)

The camera briefly captures the note on which Horne jots down the direc-tions (seen above). Although the show’s writers obviously glanced at a map, the location is fictional: it actually corre-sponds to a spot around the Advance Nursery and orchards off Highway 3.

We never see the drop-off site in the show because the kidnapping plot is foiled before the payment is made. Agent Cooper rescues Audrey from a rather plush brothel called One-Eyed Jack’s — which it turns out her father owns. It’s in Canada, on the shore of the fictional Black Lake, which straddles the border and appears to be a favoured way of entering the country undetected.

Cooper is suspended for his unau-thorized excursion (a fellow agent shows up to deliver the bad news with a Mountie, naturally dressed in Red Serge) but is eventually cleared.

A companion book to the series, the Twin Peaks Access Guide to the Town, included a couple of maps (one is seen below) that confirmed the town’s sup-posed location as somewhere northeast of Metaline Falls, and showed it bisect-ed by Route 21. That’s a real highway, but it’s actually further to the west, directly south of Grand Forks.

The map shows the highway cross-ing the border and intersecting with Highway 3B, where it indicates that heading west will reach Castlegar. Traveling south on 21 will reach Spokane, and going west on Route 10 will reach Kettle Falls. A mileage chart shows Castlegar as the closest town, 31 miles (50 km) away, although it mis-places Castlegar in Washington state.

Another surprise is the revelation there is (or was) thrice-daily bus ser-

A look at Twin Peaks’ Kootenay connections

Stevens County that is anywhere near the same size is Colville, population 4,668.

The Twin Peaks welcome sign, seen in the show’s opening credits, claims its population is 51,201, although its creators intended for it to be 5,120. ABC, however, reportedly felt a town that size was “too small and unrelatable.” (The Access Guide claimed the town had discovered its popu-lation was actually 5,120.1.)

Two West Kootenay businesses took their name after the show: Twin Peaks Towing in Castlegar and the Twin Peaks car wash in Fruitvale. There’s also a Twin Peaks Lake in the Monashees, west of Upper Arrow Lake, that pre-dates the show.

vice between Twin Peaks and Kootenay Bay, the eastern terminal of the Kootenay Lake ferry. According to a schedule in the book, the morning and afternoon runs are two hours and 45 minutes while the evening run inex-plicably takes almost three and a half hours.

The book also recounts the Twin Peaks high school football team’s unde-feated season of 1968 in which it beat

Metaline, Northport, Colville, Marcus, Chewelah, and Kettle Falls.

Colville National Forest may have been the inspiration for the show’s Ghostwood National Forest, home to lost souls and the entrance to the mysterious Black Lodge, inhabited by demons includ-ing the one who killed Laura Palmer.

While any resemblance to Twin Peaks by real-life Washington state towns is purely coincidental, the only one in

OPINION LINE

In this edition of the Advance we once again devote space to the issue of literacy. It can seem almost inconceivable that today in Canada we have neighbours who are unable to read well enough to comprehend articles in this news-paper or instructions describing even simple tasks. But it happens, and not only to people for whom English is not the first language.

It is heartening, though, to be aware of the programs designed to help overcome what can only be described as an enormous obstacle to function fully and positively in today’s society. I recently read a small piece by a local adult who described his own challenges with illiteracy and the success he had achieved with the help of some very dedicated volunteers. Over a period of several years he has reached a point where his literacy skills have made a huge difference in his life. His description of feel-ing more confident in all aspects of his life brought me to tears.

As children in a working class neighbourhood in Calgary, my sis-ters and I always had access to books. Money was scarce, but our parents always found enough to let us purchase a few books from the elementary school catalogue, the daily newspaper landed on our doorstep each morning and we made regular family trips to the nearest public library. My mother, once a schoolteacher, was appalled that the German immi-grants who moved in next door didn’t have books in their house. Their three children struggled mightily in school.

Literacy, clearly, should start in the home, with children being read to and encouraged to read. Parents

should spend time in making read-ing fun and exciting. But “should” is an easy word to use, and a judgmen-tal one at that. Kids in any commu-nity might be growing up in less than ideal circumstances, in the care of a parent or parents who simply do not have the wherewithal to pro-vide books or encouragement. Chances are their own literacy skills are lacking.

And that is where the idea that it takes a village to raise a child becomes evident. Teachers, literacy specialists and volunteers make huge efforts to foster literacy skills in the children and adults they work with, knowing that the ability to read goes part and parcel with play-ing a productive, contributing role in a community. Of course, I am preaching to the choir here. If you are reading this column you have literacy skills. But what if you didn’t? How much different would your life look?

Well, first off, there is the stig-ma. How likely is it that someone without reading skills is going to broadcast their deficit? Some develop remarkable, energy-drain-ing coping skills to avoid being caught out, fearful of being seen as unintelligent or of losing a job. Most often they settle into a less interesting and fulfilling way of

life, struggling to make ends meet, not knowing that help is available or not having the courage to seek it out.

Lack of opportunity or early stimulation, learning disabilities and physical challenges can all contribute to illiteracy, which should not be mistaken for lack of intelligence. We are lucky to have among us people who share their time, skills and passion to help others. I think of Linda Price and others who work with refugee families, making enormous com-mitments to help them learn English, both verbal and written. Or of volunteers like past citizen of the year Henry Schoof, who work tirelessly in reading with students.

Several years ago, I was a guest in an elementary school, talking to kids about reading and writing. I asked several what they liked to read and one quiet fellow said he didn’t read. Not at all, I asked. No, he insisted. Do you read comics, I asked. Yes, he said, but my parents say that’s not reading. My heart sank. Later I pulled him aside and encouraged him to keep reading those comic books. Don’t ever let anybody tell you that you aren’t a reader, I told him, because you are.

For me, literacy is a gift that I have never stopped appreciating. I am grateful for the encouragement I got at home, and for the doors that being able to read and write have opened in my life. My endless curi-osity is fulfilled on a daily basis because I am literate. I stand in awe of those who dedicate themselves to improving the literacy of others. And even more so of those who accept their offer of help.

Lorne Eckersley

In his essay, “Mountain and Rivers Sutra”, 13th century Zen master Dogen expresses something different from other Zen teachings of his day. He takes other teachers to task.

“Others have it wrong,” he says, “They are not seeing the wholeness of reality. They are seeing it only par-tially.” Dogen learned this from his Chinese teacher Rujing. He is not making it up.

The main difference from other medieval Zen teachings is that, for Dogen, Zen training is not a process with the goal of enlightenment. The Zen path does not go from igno-rance to knowledge, from unen-lightenment to enlightenment. Dogen saw Zen training as a prac-tice, a way of living life fully every day. For Dogen, enlightenment is present in every single moment. It is not a special moment where you suddenly have an “aha” experience that you have been seeking. It is simply wholehearted participation in every moment, without anything left out. To Dogen, Zen practice is enlightenment and it’s happening right now. It isn’t something that happens later.

We are already enlightened; we just don’t know it. And because we don’t know it we live in way that is destructive and that cuts us off from true intimacy. We come by this alien-

ation honestly. It’s in our education, our culture, our society and our families. It’s normal to have made the mistake of trying to add some-thing to what is already here, but it is still a mistake.

In other words, Dogen believed that we have not appreciated what life actually is. Zen practice is noth-ing more than appreciating life as it is, and then living it fully every moment. But the culture of self-improvement conditions us to look for something we don’t already know or understand, to look beyond this moment for something that we don’t already possess. Because of this tendency, we are always looking at things with desire and expectation.

But Dogen says, “No. Right now, step inside our life and let go of all conceptual frameworks that alien-ate us from ourselves and each another. Just enter life right now.

Feel the awesome presence of our senses, our bodies, our minds/hearts, and emotions. Feel how, right now, our human experience is literally awesome, and don’t look for something more to complete what is already complete.” But we don’t believe this and are always looking for something more than what we have — something that is missing.

This summarizes the unique approach to Zen that Dogen clearly expressed in “Mountains and River Sutra”. He is not saying that there is no path and no destination, but he is saying that the destination is at every point along the way. We are not marching through time to get to a destination because there are both path and destination in every moment.

Suggested practice: For the next two weeks, each time you first leave your house, stop for a moment, raise you eyes to the mountains that surround Creston and wonder at their perfection.

Kuya Minogue is the resident teach-er at Sakura-ji, Creston’s zendo. This column is part of a long essay on an essay by 13th century Zen master Eihei Dogen and is inspired by the teaching of Norman Fishcher.

To the Editor:(Re: “Council and MP discuss federal

funding,” Dec. 25 Advance)I want to thank the mayor and coun-

cil members for considering my idea of fencing off a separate area at the far end of the present dog park for small dogs to play.

After bringing my own small dog to the dog park and observing how differ-ent dogs interact, I felt there was a need to accommodate the small dogs.

Because the separate area wouldn’t take away very much of the present size, I do feel that there would still be a

large enough area for balls to be thrown for dogs, and for the big dogs to run and play with each other.

Deborah MunroCreston

To the Editor:As I packed my final few boxes and

said good-bye to the people in Creston who have made such a difference in my life, I realized I neglected to let all my former students, from the past 30-plus years, know what an amazing difference they have made in my life. You, my kids, were the primary reason

I looked forward to school each day. You made me laugh, cry and realize again and again how compassionate and bright you were. You taught me far more than you can imagine.

But what kind of a teacher would I be if I did not review the six most important lessons I tried to teach you:

1. Protect the rights and freedoms we have. Speak up, be aware, and vote.

2. Appreciate the beauty and won-der in the world around you.

3. Constantly check your moral com-pass to ensure you are headed in the right direction in life.

4. Choose to be a survivor or a vic-tor, not a victim, when life sends you sorrow or trauma.

5. There are many ways to be “smart”.6. You deserve love and respect.Thank you for making teaching such

a fabulous career for me.Janet Woollett

reviews key lessons

Cresteramics members ended 2014 with a big Christmas party at Trinity United Church hall. This celebration has become a tradition and is possible because of the support received from so many in our community. Thank you to Bev Warner, who has helped prepare the meal for many years. Thank you also to Dianne Yezovich, who crafted beautiful table centerpieces that were shared through the community after the party. Our dedicated staff members did dou-ble duty serving the meal, meeting the needs of our members and hosting guests. Thank you to all of them.

This year has started off with the favourite programs and some new ones, too. I would like to give you an idea of some of the activities that happen within our building, at our store and out in the community. Please take a minute to think about how valuable these programs are for our members and the amount of dedi-cation, training and effort it takes for staff to offer these programs.

Within the Cresteramics building, members participate in journaling, sign language courses, current events, Wii games and exercises, scrapbooking, com-puter use, painting and preparation of ceramics for sale in our store, a Cresteramics newsletter, sit and fit, and karaoke. On Thursdays, high school students attend Cresteramics for a very popular afternoon of singing. On Friday mornings, a pet therapy program happens.

A new art program has just started. It is led by a staff member who has a

strong history of education and teach-ing in the area of creative, explorative art. The timing for this program is per-fect because Cresteramics has just been invited to be a partner in the 2015 Creston Valley Bird Fest. This invitation acknowledges the contribution that our members can make to our community.

Donations of art supplies, tools and materials would be greatly appreciated.

There are also a number of programs that our members and staff participate in throughout the community. Some of these are considered work programs and others are for education or enjoyment or both. The Creston Valley Public Library is one of our partners and we have two different programs there, one for improving read-ing skills and the other to help out with chores. Our members attend the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors to help with cooking, baking and decorating chores and to attend the Tai Chi classes. The Community Empowerment Program consists of Cresteramics members producing happy,

inspirational notes to be given to custom-ers at local businesses. These supportive businesses are Creative Fix, Cresteramics Store, Kootenay Employment Services, Creston Card and Stationery and Gold ’N’ Treasures. Music is a very popular activi-ty. Music programs are held at Adam Robertson Elementary School and a drumming group practices every Thursday at St. Stephen’s Presbyterian Church. This enthusiastic group moves to parks and other community spaces in warmer months. It is supported by volun-teers Johanna Wilson and Maureen Cameron, and others they bring along.

Many more activities, including swimming, curling and gym workouts, happen at the Creston and District Community Complex.

Work programs are another group of well-supported and valuable programs for our members. These vary from the ones mentioned already at TAPS and the library, and include recycling, store-front maintenance, courier services and seasonal jobs. Check out Jimmy’s Pub and Kingfisher Used Books for tidy, well cared for storefronts.

The Cresteramics Store is essential to Cresteramics as a place for sale of the ceramic art products that are a big part of our history and as a source of income for our operation. Many local homes have gnomes, piggy banks and canister sets purchased there. It is also a work site for members to learn interpersonal skills.

Another snowfall, nice and light this time! The last good snowfall had a lot more weight to it. As I drove through town early that morning, I noticed sev-eral of the other small business owners out cleaning their sidewalks and park-ing lots in preparation for the rest of the day. If you have the time to spare, it is pretty good exercise. If you don't, it is just one more chore on the to do list.

Other items that catch my eye on the way through town are all the fine trees and shrubs planted down Canyon Street. OK, the trees look really pretty with the snow on them but the shrubs are under cover for a few more weeks. Not to worry; they were specifically chosen to take all the abuse. I'm proud to say that almost all of them came from my nursery.

Several studies have found that good landscaping increases community appeal.

Parks and street trees have been found to rank second only to education (schools) in residents’ perceived value of municipal services offered. Well-landscaped grounds

and places for taking walks are among the most important factors considered when individuals choose a place to live.

Besides the obvious — looking good — trees contribute to our well-being in

several other ways, such as privacy, tranquility, increased self-esteem, stress reduction and lower blood pressure. For children, green space can help improve their attention spans. Green spaces are known to reduce vandalism.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture publishes that the net cooling affect of a young healthy tree in summer is equiva-lent to 10 room-sized air conditioners operating for 20 hours a day. It has also been demonstrated that with the right landscaping you can cut your winter home heating costs. They also say that one acre of forest absorbs six tons of carbon dioxide from the air and puts out four tons of oxygen. With all the greenery around our community, this puts us in a pretty good place.

Creston Valley Youth Soccer Assoc. is seeking a Technical Director

The CVYSA is looking for an individual to take on the paid, contract position of Technical Director. This is currently a temporary, part-time position for the 2015 season.

The CVYSA runs a 10-week spring program with approximately 200 players from U6 to U18. It is run by an all-volunteer Board of Directors.

The Technical Director position is a challenging one in that the season is short, the community from which to recruit volunteer coaches and managers is small, and the number of youth who play soccer is limited.

The successful candidate is someone who can overcome the community challenges and help grow the program.

This newly created position will initially focus on coach recruitment, training, and support, as well as the creation of a Technical Development Plan.

The successful candidate will be a high-energy, highly organized, innovative, and self-motivated individual.

If you are interested, please go to ourwebsite: crestonvalleysoccer.comfor more information and to apply.

day can improve both a child and parent’s literacy skills dramatically.

During the week, hundreds of activities and events are being offered by literacy providers, schools, libraries and community centres across the province to promote literacy and learning. Activities range from book drives to children’s reading circles to family game nights. This feature section is your guide to Family Literacy in B.C.

Family literacy is fun. From January 24 – 31, families across British Columbia are encouraged to learn together and participate in literacy-related activities to benefit both children and adults.

Family literacy benefits everyone

P arents and caregivers across British Columbia are encouraged to find fun ways of practicing literacy

with their children during Family Literacy Week, January 24-31. “Literacy starts in the home so it is important that families take a few minutes each day to play together, prepare food together, sing and enjoy music, draw a picture, write a letter, or read their favorite story,” says Sheri Brattston, an early literacy expert with Decoda Literacy Solutions. Literacy is important to everyone, but especially children. Research shows that when children are engaged early and often with literacy, they gener-ally go on to do better in school; pur-sue post-secondary education; find better employment; vote more often and give back to their communities.

“Literacy impacts all areas of our lives,” says Brattston. “Health, employ-ment, economic status and life chances are all tied to literacy development.” As a lifelong learner herself, Brattston has a master’s degree in education and you will often hear her talking about the importance of early literacy and how easy it is to get your child involved. “Engaging in family literacy activ-ities is not expensive, it’s not time consuming , but it is crucial to a child’s development…even spending 15 minutes a day reading together can improve a child’s literacy skills dramatically.” During Family Literacy Week, thousands of events will take place across B.C. to celebrate family literacy and give families the opportunity to learn together. There are events taking place in libraries, community centres, neighbourhood houses and of course

literacy organizations. But don’t expect everything to involve reading. “Literacy is not just reading and writing,” says Brattston. “While they do make up the foundation of literacy, it is so much more. When you engage in simple, everyday activities you help your child learn.”

What activities will her family be doing during Family Literacy Week? “During Family Literacy Week we will continue to play board games, sing silly songs, draw pictures for our grandparents, go outside for a nature walk and curl up with one of our favorite bedtime stories.”

Our store has become a venue for local artists and artisans to display and sell their creations while helping to support our agency. Ron Hurry, master gold-smith, shares the space with us. Shop-local Christmas gifts were responsible for a very busy store in December. Val, the store man-ager, has asked me to let you know that the store now has a Facebook page — check it out at “Cresteramics” — and that there currently is a 50 per cent off sale on selected ceramics and gold and silver jewelry.

Jimmy, a member of Cresteramics, is in the process of

becoming a self advocate mem-ber of Kootenay Community Council, a group that helps to support community inclusion, citizenship and full participation of people with developmental disabilities throughout the prov-ince. Jimmy’s skills will be well used in this organization.

A transitions meeting was held at Prince Charles Secondary School on Jan. 27. This was an opportunity for parents and sup-porters of persons with develop-mental disabilities to learn about the resources that are available for young people as they finish their school careers. Represen-tatives from housing, education, employment, health, and recre-ation and leisure shared infor-mation about their resources. If

you would like more informa-tion about this event, please con-tact Donna McCready at Cresteramics at 250-428-5538.

I have probably missed some of the activities that our mem-bers are involved in but just reviewing this list has made me dizzy. Did you know that Cresteramics was such a posi-tive, busy, contributing place?

The variety and value of the programs offered by the dedi-cated staff contribute to the wellbeing, happiness and suc-cess of our members. The sup-portive partnerships within our community make Creston a place where inclusiveness and caring offer value to all of us.

Terry Nowak is a board mem-ber of the Cresteramics Society.

It seems this is the year of the pine grosbeak, or perhaps the winter of the pine gros-beak. An unusually large num-ber has been spotted in recent

weeks. A road walk in Lister, soon after a snowfall, turned up about three dozen birds in groups of five to 15. Although in some groups there were less males, overall they seemed to be generally equal in number. The birds were feasting on buds and berries from bushes along the road. Another hunt-ing party spotted some 70 pine grosbeaks.

They seemed rather comical in their feeding habit. (I guess their way of feeding may seem comical to us because we can’t or don’t do it that way, but to them it is just part of their usual bush manners.) They would fly to a nearby branch and bend it down to the point they couldn’t hang on any more and needed to try again somewhere else on the bush. Another time one would land and bend a branch down on a bird below and then they would both flutter to another branch. In spite of the “mishaps”, they were quite adept at reaching down below a branch and nipping off a bud or berry.

Pine grosbeaks, size-wise, are a bit shorter than a robin, about an inch; however, their beak is short and fat while a robin’s beak is long and nar-row. That says something about their different menus, except in winter when robins will eat mountain ash berries and apples. Pine grosbeaks are win-ter visitors from far northern and high mountain spruce and fir forests.

It is fun to watch our winter visitors (humans excluded?); however, it is fun, even, just to

find winter friends. People on the Christmas Bird Count did much of that. In spite of over-cast skies, many surprising finds were made. One party had barely begun their search when a medium-sized, short-ish-tailed, long-beaked bird (like a starling) was seen perched on the top of a tall fir tree. This meadowlark was indeed a surprise. They are rarely seen here in winter, but

when they are, it is usually in or near a cattle feed lot. Here it seems they find chilly tidbits of frozen insects that the cattle have stirred up.

Meadowlarks tend to be found here when milder temperatures prevail, kind of like the trend this winter.

Another area where you might find a meadowlark (and even a snow bunting) is along road-sides on the flats where they may be seen picking up gravel. Once I saw one perched in an old shed by a feedlot.

Starlings hang around cattle and feedlots, too. And they may, by their own presence there, attract birds of prey such as Cooper’s hawks and pygmy owls. Recently, a prairie falcon was seen going after starlings in one such area. Birds at feed-ers will not only draw preda-tors like pygmy owls but also merlins, which are so fast that one hardly knows what flew by and scared all the birds.

Red-breasted nuthatches frequently come to feeders along with black-capped and chestnut-backed chickadees but this winter people have spotted several white-breasted nuthatches. Like their red-breasted relative they, at the opportune time, fly quickly to the feeder and grab a sunflow-er seed. Just as speedily, they head away to a favorite tree perch and extract the seed from the shell. At the bottom of the tree it is possible to find hun-dreds of fragments of sunflow-er seed shells scattered on the ground. Chickadees follow a similar routine leaving the evi-dence behind them.

Another couple on their third year with the bird count, and counting, said they thor-oughly enjoy participating. In spite of gloomy, snowy weath-er their trip was highlighted by the spotting of a pygmy owl, not giving them the eye but

giving them both eyes through some leafless branches. Just by looking them in the eye, isn’t it obvious they have better than excellent vision? Then a group of turkeys topped it off, for the couple, by posing, perching in some trees near Wynndel. That is the first time they saw that but, actually, most people haven’t seen them roosting in trees at all. Grouse roost in trees too and perhaps sometimes in winter, if it’s too breezy, they roost in a cavity under that snowy blanket. (When do birds use a blanket?)

Some people have had some disappointments counting birds but hopefully that will be compensated for over the remainder of the winter season. A keen eyed group went to spots where they always, always see kestrels — strung out like clothespins along the roadside power lines. What happened? None were seen! How are we to know? (How much does a person really know, anyway? What fraction of all that is out there and beyond, and beyond beyond does a person comprehend? Not even a fraction! Has one even figured their own self out?) Then there was the Steller’s jay, B.C.’s provincial bird, which didn’t make it to the count list for these people, although I am sure they were seen somewhere else.

Bird watching and wildlife watching provide a great out-door experience. It’s a way to get to really know the area in which one lives. People coming into this area from over the mountains to the east, from the north of east or further east of east find, in some things, a real contrast to where they once lived and spent time outdoors.

The Christmas Bird Count has passed but you don’t have to wait until the next one to get out on something like that. You can be counted and counting in the Great Backyard Bird Count happening very soon. Whether your backyard is a bit of grass (or snow), a few shrubs and the neighbour’s back yard or even a barnyard, you may watch for a designated number of days and report all the birds you see. You might find something you didn’t know was there (like, if nothing else, fresh air). Remember, just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t there!

BC SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

The Creston Veterinary Hospital is leading by example in tackling the prov-

ince’s massive cat overpopulation prob-lem. The entire staff participated in two separate weekend spay/neuter events at the hospital, resulting in the successful sterilization of more than 50 outdoor-

living felines in Creston and the sur-rounding area.

“Everyone at the clinic pitched in. It was pretty awesome,” said registered veterinary technician Tara Halonen.

“Spaying and neutering leads to better quality of life and also helps prevent unwanted litters.”

Spayed and neutered outdoor cats are less territorial and spray less, fight

less and maintain weight better, Halonen notes, and fewer unwanted lit-ters means a declin-ing outdoor cat pop-ulation.

“This protects our native songbird pop-ulation and prevents the suffering of countless kittens,” she said.

Through i ts PetSmart Charities of Canada grant pro-gram, the BC SPCA provided surgical instruments and ster-ile gear in spay/neu-ter surgery packs to help the Creston Veterinary Hospital provide the neces-sary surgeries. The BC SPCA also pro-vided funding through its commu-nity animal spay/neuter grant program to cover all other medical expenses.

“It’s a fantastic example of how staff at one vet hospital in an area without any SPCA shelter or clinic is helping to create a more humane commu-nity,” said Amy Morris, BC SPCA poli-cy and outreach offi-cer. “Addressing the cat crisis in B.C. is a massive ongoing undertaking, and this just shows how, by coming together, British Columbians are solving the prob-lem, one step at a time.”

CRESTON VALLEY BIRD FEST

Like Dave Catherall’s prize-win-ning apple pie at the Creston Valley Fall Fair, Bruce Paterson has com-bined the right ingredients to make a prize-winning poster for this year’s Creston Valley Bird Fest. This is the third year in festival his-tory that the judges have selected Paterson’s detailed work in water-colour, pen and ink.

The Creston Valley Bird Fest com-mittee is pleased to purchase Ospreys to help promote the 2015 bird fest. The art will appear in advertising, on the cover of the festival program, on the www.crestonvalleybirds.ca web-site, on Facebook and on posters to be distributed throughout the Kootenays and beyond. Ospreys can be viewed on the festival website or at the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce. It will be used in fund-raising for next year’s bird festival.

The committee extends its appre-ciation to the judges and all of the artists who submitted their art to the selection process. Their efforts are truly appreciated.

This year’s bird fest will feature keynote speaker Dick Cannings, a well-known Okanagan bird biologist, as well as Marlene Machmer from Nelson speaking on herons, Brendan Mitchell of Creston on bats and Gary Davidson from Nakusp displaying photographs of the birds of Africa. The festival includes early morning guided bird-watching tours, raptor-searching bus tours, afternoon tours to the Swan Valley Honey farm, the Kootenay Meadows organic dairy and a variety of art studios, as well as canoe trips and childrens’ events at the Wildlife Interpretation Centre. West Kootenay photographer Jim Lawrence will be returning to host a workshop on wildlife photography.

Registration for the 2015 Creston Valley Bird Fest is scheduled for early March. Those wishing to make a tax-deductible contribution to the 2015 bird fest can do so at www.wildsight.ca. The Creston Valley Bird Fest is a committee of the Creston Valley Branch of Wildsight, a non-profit society valu-ing the wildlife and wild places of the Kootenays.

BY BRIAN LAWRENCEAdvance Editor

With a win and a tie, the Creston Valley Thunder Cats earned three points on the weekend — keeping them, with 52, one point behind the second-place Kimberley Dynamiters.

And with eight games left in the season, they need to change the way they start games if they hope to take second and earn home-ice advantage in the playoffs.

“We’ve kind of been fighting our starts, especially on the road,” said head coach Jeff Dubois. “Friday night, we just came out flat, and played a soft first period.”

That game earned them a point for a 3-3 tie with the Nelson Leafs. Creston’s Carson Cartwright scored the game’s first goal, at 7:02 in the second period, “against the flow of play,” said Dubois. Two Nelson goals quickly followed.

Cartwright tied the score at 10:32 in the third period, and Nelson edged ahead a few min-

utes later. Austin Steger scored the game’s final goal at 3:14, sending the game into two scoreless over-time periods.

Dubois credited goalie Brock Lefebvre with keeping Creston in the game, stopping 32 Nelson shots.

“Brock really held us in, espe-cially in the first thirty minutes where we weren’t really support-ing him and we were giving up some good scoring opportuni-ties,” he said.

Saturday’s game — a 5-2 win over the visiting Columbia Valley Rockies — was almost the opposite of Friday’s game, Dubois said.

“We came out really focused on having a good first period, and we definitely did,” he said. “It felt like the energy, the work ethic was exactly where we needed it to be in the first period.”

The first period saw four Creston goals, with Steger scoring on two power plays, and goals from Graeme Close and Connor Ward. But the Thunder Cats

backed off in a scoreless second period, one that also saw the Thunder Cats earn 10 penalty minutes.

“I think there was a bit of a mentality that we were up four goals and going to coast through it,” said Dubois.

The Rockies, who trail the Thunder Cats at the bottom of the Eddie Mountain Division, attempted a comeback with two goals at 15:14 and 10:07 in the third period. Alec Wilkinson ended up scoring the game’s final goal for Creston.

With two goals and an assist, Steger has “really found his game offensively,” said Dubois, who also noted that Close’s goal was his first playing in the KIJHL.

“He just kind of snuck in from the point, then came out in front and he slammed it home,” Dubois said. “He works hard and he plays physical and the boys were excited to see him put one in the net.”

The Thunder Cat have three games coming up over the next week, hosting the Kimberley Dynamiters on Friday, visiting the Golden Rockets on Saturday and visiting Kimberley on Tuesday.

With two games against Kimberley, with whom Creston is battling for second or third position in the division, the next week could be a big one.

“Between the home game on Friday and road game on Tuesday, there’s a chance for somebody to distance themselves a little bit in terms of second-place position,” said Dubois.

The Thunder Cats have had a couple of close games in Golden’s rink, and with the Rockets just five points behind them in the standings, Creston’s team will have to be ready to play hard.

“It’s a whole different game when you go into their rink,” he said. “You’ve got to shake off the bus legs pretty quick and be ready to go, other-wise that can get you.”

Thunder Cats tie Leafs 3-3, beat Rockies 5-2 to hang on to third

literacy feature

BY MARGARET SUTHERLAND

L eaving everything behind to start a new life can be scary, but that’s exactly what Lani did ten years ago. “If my Dad didn’t pass away I wouldn’t

have come. I wanted to help my mom support my younger brother and sister.” Lani got a job in a camp at the Mica Dam, near Revelstoke. “At first I didn’t talk to any-one. I was sad, I didn’t have any friends.” But over time, Lani made friends at the camp, where she eventually met her husband. In

2009, the couple had a baby boy named Evan. Lani got information about programs for families and when Evan was three months old, Lani and her mother-in-law took him to the Mother Goose program in Revelstoke. “I thought it was fun. I didn’t know any of the baby songs but I met other moms.” The Mother Goose program facilitator printed the songs for Lani and she studied them at home. “My husband said ‘it’s not a test’ but I wanted to get the words right!” When Lani and her family moved to Castlegar she looked online to find programs she could attend with Evan. She found what she was looking for at Kootenay Family Place – a family literacy program offered by the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) for English as a Second Language (ESL) families with young children. Lani made friends at the ESL family pro-gram, lots of friends, and became an unoffi-cial leader of the group, organizing parties, play dates and outings. “In Revelstoke I had a big group of Filipino friends. I was afraid I would be lonely in Castlegar. But, when you meet people who have all come from a different country, you connect.” Lani noticed a difference in Evan too. He enjoyed doing the crafts and listen-ing to stories in circle. His social skills improved, and he became more independent. “ESL Family Time is a wonderful program. It is good for the parents and good for the kids. It helped Evan be ready for school. I enjoy the speakers. We have had a dental-hygien-ist, public health nurse and a yoga teacher come to the program to talk to the parents.” Now that Evan is going to school, Lani is attending ESL Family Time with her

daughter Katelyn. She has also been able to attend other literacy programs designed to help adults improve their reading, writing and speaking skills in English. “I like it in Canada. It is very family oriented. In the Philippines families live close together. In Canada families are close in other ways.” For more information about literacy pro-grams in your community visit cbal.org.

What is STEAM?STEAM learning is an authentic, hands-on approach to learning that integrates science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. The acronym STEAM originated with the National Science Foundation; STEAM incorporates the arts.

⚫ Use a magnifying glass to explore your home and yard. How do things look different? Do you notice new details? Draw what you see.

⚫ Play Tri-spy. In this version of I spy, choose a category of things to look for, e.g. something orange, something shiny, something funny.

⚫ Cook together. You can follow a rec-ipe or get creative. Salad, pizza and cookies are all popular choices. Added bonus: children often want to eat what they have prepared.

⚫ What do you think will float? Collect and make some things you think will float, such as plastic bottle tops, corks, and waterproof toys; then try them out. Don’t forget to add some things that won’t float.

⚫ Gather household objects that make different noises, e.g. plastic containers with something inside, spoons, pot lids, and toys. Make lots of different sounds and rhythms. Use objects that make both hard and soft sounds. Talk about what you hear.

⚫ Make a treasure basket. Fill a basket with safe household items that have dif-ferent colours, textures, weights, sizes, etc. For younger babies, a basket with soft fabric, a soft toy, a soft sponge, and soft towel is appropriate.

⚫ Young babies can hold, mouth, and drop blocks. And they can watch you stack and knock over blocks. As children de-velop, they can start to sort, stack and build with blocks. Make sure the blocks are designed for very young children.

⚫ Use things around the house to build something together. For example, you can design and create a scavenger hunt, a board game, a Lego structure, a dom-ino run, an item of jewellery or cloth-ing, a piece of music or a recipe.

⚫ Origami is a popular activity with some children. Start with simple paper fold-ing, like the origami talking dog. There are lots of origami instructions avail-able online or in books at the library.

⚫ Draw or write with invisible ink. Dip a cotton swab into lemon juice and write or draw on heavy paper or card-stock. Use heat (a hair dryer, light bulb or iron) to make the picture or words appear. Be careful; too much heat and the paper could catch fire. Try different liquids and compare the results.

We have many treasured memories, some silent tears we weep

For parents we loved dearly, but were not able to keep

Our family chain has been broken, and nothing will ever be the same

But as God calls us one by one the chain will link again

Harmony Santano

Our Mom, Harmony Santano, met a sudden, unexpected death on December 21, 2014 in Creston. Mom lived the Bible deeply and enjoyed the insights and study with the Jehovah's. Her two green thumbs kept us eight kids fed in Grand Forks in the 1970s and 1980s. Always the gypsy, mom lived in northern BC in Grassy Plains and Smithers but considered herself a “Kootenay Girl”, loving the Slocan Valley and Creston. Harmony lived her recycling philosophy, never wasting a scrap of metal, wood, plastic or compost.Left behind are eight children and ten grandchildren to grieve.We are all going to miss you until our last breath.

A million thanks to the Creston Fire Departmentand medical staff for their tireless efforts

to save Mom.

June 13, 1948 ~ December 21, 2014Words cannot begin to express our family’s

gratitude at the many acts of kindness and help during our recent loss of Karen.

All the people who phoned, visited or in any way created a sense of community to help us

overcome our loss of wife and mother.A special thanks to the nurses

who cared for Karen. She loved all of you.

Generally, this scheme involves company representatives calling individuals and stating, for example, that it is Microsoft calling and that their computer is running slow or has viruses. They offer to repair the computer over the internet, which can involve the installation of software or the customers allowing the representatives remote access to their computer.Recent variation being reported to the CAFC have involved the suspects identifying themselves as the Canadian Cyber Incident Response Centre and have taken a more aggressive approach with individuals by stating their computer is being used by hackers and that they will be held responsible if they do not allow the suspect to repair their computer.

Allowing a third party to download software or remotely access a computer carries inherent risks. Keyloggers or other malicious software could be installed to capture sensitive data such as online banking user names and passwords, bank account information, identity information, etc.

By Ian Harwood

The 2014 Nissan NV200 cargo van is a work van but you would never know it to look at it.

LooksThe NV200 has a very modern and European look to it. The signature Nissan grill, swept back front windshield, large side mirrors, and front windows that drop down low enough to make it comfortable to rest your arm. There are dual side doors that open and close with minimum effort, which is important when loading and unloading all day long. Large body panels in place of rear glass, which gives it an excellent location for signage.

The rear features large 40/60 split rear doors and again these are easy to open and close.

In The CabMuch attention was given to designing the cab for functionality and comfort. The driver’s seat is a six-way adjustable with manual lumbar and armrest with vinyl wear patches sewn in which is a nice touch. The centre console acts like a mobile office with laptop/hanging file folder storage, pen/pencil tray, CD holder, and dual cup holders. There is additional storage under the passenger seat in the form of a tray. In addition the passenger seat folds down to

provide a worktop surface. AM/FM/CD with auxiliary input and two front door

mounted speakers. There is an optional Nissan navigation system, Bluetooth, XM satellite radio, rear-view monitor, and telematics pre wiring so you can install GPS tracking to keep an eye on your fleet. There are 20 integrated cargo mounting points to attach shelving units so you don’t have to drill into the sheet metal. Floor mounted d-rings to help secure your load.

Safety firstStandard safety features include advanced airbag system, roof mounted curtain side impact supplemental air bags for front occupant head protection, front

seat mounted driver and passenger side impact air bags, vehicle dynamic control, and tire pressure monitoring system.

RoadworthyI drove this vehicle downtown to pick up some parts and found it very easy to manouevre in busy traffic. The backup camera works very well and coupled with the side mirrors you can pretty much get into any tight area, with ease.

VerdictNissan has been involved in the work truck industry for a while now through products like the Titan and Frontier. With the addition of the NV, the NV200 and soon the NV200 electric vehicle, Nissan has become a force. Fleet managers and

consumers all across the country are going to stand up and take notice.

REDUCED!

BY BRIAN LAWRENCEAdvance Editor

The spotlight will shine on an emerging singer-songwriter next week, when Get It On Vinyl Records artist Emma Kade releas-es her first album, Transparent, on CD and vinyl with a concert at Prince Charles Theatre.

The free concert runs 7 p.m. Feb. 6, featuring Kade (perhaps better known by her non-stage name, Emma Boutet) performing her album’s first single, “Echo”, with a few covers and other songs from the album — including the title song, which she first sang in that theatre in the first edition of the Creston’s Best Singer contest.

“That was my first time ever performing in my entire life,” the 18-year-old said. “I didn’t know what to expect.”

She didn’t place in the 2010 or 2011 contests, but continued writ-ing songs. It’s little surprise that Kade loves to sing and compose — she comes from two musical families, especially her dad’s side.

“They all sing and play instru-ments,” she said. “Even when I was really little, before I could walk, my dad would play guitar and I’d sing with him.”

Her dad introduced her to songs by John Denver and Carpenters, and Kade grew to like a bit of everything, including Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift, who have influenced her style.

“I definitely want to be a pop artist, not so much obnoxious pop, but with folky influences,” said Kade.

After her mom posted a clip of Kade singing on Facebook, her style piqued the interest of Get It On Vinyl and Get It On Vinyl Records owners T.J. Goodwin and Andy Brown. They requested a few demo tracks — which Kade recorded at the Creston Valley Public Library — then met with Kade, signed her and brought her to their Bozeman, Mont., studio for a nine-day recording session in June and July.

The duo’s company is dedicat-ed to preserving physical music and the independent record store.

“Our passion is vinyl, so our releases will always include vinyl in addition to CD and digital edi-tions,” says their website, geti-tonvinyl.com. “All of our vinyl releases include additional music, extra artwork and limited edition coloured first pressings.”

Signing with Get It On Vinyl Records changed Kade’s listen-ing habits — she started listening to records about six months ago.

“The hipsters, I tell you, are bringing them back,” she said.

Kade sings and plays guitar on the album, joined by a bass player and drummer, who impressed her on the first day of the recording session.

“I got there and they knew my songs and all the words, and when

Emma Kade’s first album launching on vinyl

to break and when to stop,” she said. “It was so crazy to listen to what bass and drums can do for an album. It just brings it all together.”

There are 10 songs on Transparent, plus an acoustic bonus track on the vinyl version, whit-tled down from dozens written by Kade over the last few years.

“I always knew I was going to make a record — even when I

didn’t know I was going to make a record,” she said with a laugh.

The album, she said, is about unrequited love, and selecting the best of the best made it a sure bet that listeners will enjoy what they hear.

“You need to make sure that every song is perfect, every song is catchy, every song is going to sell,” Kade said. “You can’t just

get a new name and start over.”That said, Kade is planning to

simply enjoy the ride, although she’s not sure where it’s taking her — and “making it big” is just a small part of the equation.

“It’s not something I’m striving for because I think I’ll always do music. … I’d be doing this even if I was in college studying to be something I don’t want to be.”
