Store provides new home for Krafty KronysBY BRIAN LAWRENCE

Advance Editor

The Krafty Kronys have started a new chapter in their goal of fund-raising for the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors (TAPS). With a new home in the basement of Creston Card and Stationery, the group is set to keep on knitting, sewing and crafting in a permanent location, and celebrat-ed with a reception for owner Mike Poznikoff and staff on Nov. 19.

The donation of the space by owner Poznikoff is the continuation of a family tradition with TAPS — when his late father, John, owned Pharmasave, he donated prizes for games, and when his brother, Steve, co-owned the business, he helped establish a monthly health check program at TAPS.

“I couldn’t believe how wonder-ful the community is,” said Jill Fehr, the Krafty Kronys spokesperson and a former TAPS co-ordinator,

who moved to the valley from Vancouver.

One hundred per cent of the funds raised by the Kronys goes to TAPS, now run by Valley Community Services after the prov-ince stopped funding it in 2005. They started long before that, though, with a group coming to visit Fehr at TAPS in 1996.

Part of the allure of mandalas comes from the fact that circular designs can be found in nature — in flowers, for example. A high percentage of logos are also based on a spiral.

“It calls to us,” Dinn said. “Even the way our blood moves in our body is a spiral.”

She designed all of the mandalas in her colouring books, and although her initial fasci-nation was with geometric shapes, Dinn’s man-dalas have changed over the years.

“I tend to find myself enjoying organic with a lot of soft lines and complex movements,” she said.

She starts with a circle grid, usually creating from the centre outward with pencil before mak-ing a final version with ink.

“That’s when I mess them up and have to do it all over again,” she said with a laugh.

In the back of the book is a circle grid that can be copied so people can create their own mandalas, from geometric to organic, complex to simple.

“I think it’s a fun way to test our geometric muscles,” she said.

Din enjoys seeing the different ways her designs end up being coloured — never the same way twice.

“Everyone has their own esthetic about the ‘right thing’,” she said. “I love that they’re all so very unique and seeing the differences. The image is unique but the design isn’t anywhere close.”

Colour from the Centre is available at Puffin Designs, Creative Fix, Black Bear Books and Creston Card and Stationery. To see more of Win Dinn’s art, visit her blog at windinnart.blogspot.ca.

Giving the Kronys a new home was an easy decision for Poznikoff, who expanded his store’s staff room to accommodate them. Having them there furthers his mission to “provide a variety

of products for the cre-ative soul.” Poznikoff offers far more than just stationery, with a focus on creativity and playability.

And their presence allows Poznikoff to carry on that family legacy by giving back to the community.

“For me it’s not just about selling product, but it’s nice to have a connection to people,” he said.

For many adults, the thrill of colouring books has been long for-gotten. But encouraging the memo-ries can easily turn into a new obsession, says Win Dinn, creator of Colour from the Centre, her second colouring book aimed at adults.

“I kind of think adult colouring books are kind of a gateway drug to creativity,” said Dinn. “It opens up that compulsion to be a maker.”

While selling her first book, Colour Me Up, at markets and craft fairs, she’s seen many customers realize that colouring isn’t just for kids, although not right away.

“I found the only way to get them slightly interested was to give them a colouring stick, be it a felt or pencil,” she said. “Once they start-ed, they couldn’t stop.”

It’s about more than remember-

ing fun, though — colouring can help seniors with hand-eye co-ordi-nation, and also rekindles creativity and reduces stress, as Dinn discov-ered after a family tragedy.

“I didn’t realize adults needed a colouring book till I went through a huge trauma in my life,” she said.

So she picked up a book and began colouring.

“I found it very soothing.”And that got Din started on an

artistic journey: She began creating her own mandalas (from the Sanskrit word for “sacred circle”), the usually circular designs from many cultures — Turkish rugs, for example, start at the centre and move outward — representing the universe, and symbolizing unity and harmony. She would then have friends add colour.

“We’d sit in the hot tub and when we weren’t in the hot tub, we’d colour my designs,” she said.

Adult colouring reduces stress,

develops creativity

once again in the news earlier this year when several youths committed suicide.

If hope is a rare commodity in Shamattawa, the best response might come from the likes of Buhr, her friend Terrie Faulkner and the countless donors who have once again rallied to the cause. Last week, four seven-foot-high pallets laden with boxes of apples and gifts of toys, clothing, boots and personal care items began their four prov-ince journey. A succession of shippers has been co-ordinated to get the pallets to Shamattawa at no charge.

Buhr and her team of volun-teers (who learn early on that “Nobody says no to Muriel!”) spend weeks organizing donat-ed items — and others pur-chased at sale prices with donat-ed cash — to ensure that each youth in the community gets a package before Christmas.

For Buhr and Faulkner, the search for donations and deals is a year-round obsession.

“If we are shopping and come across clearance specials, if the items are appropriate for what we need, we buy up everything,” Buhr said.

Teenage girls help with the packing and their youth is a defi-

nite asset, Buhr explained.“We’re old. We don’t know

what kids want and like. But these girls do,” she laughed.

Jewelry, cosmetics, games, clothing and personal items are all sorted and put into age-appropriate gift bags.

As the group carried on with the packaging a couple of weeks ago, Buhr conducted a whirlwind tour around the Shukin Orchard warehouse that has become a year-round storage centre for the Shamattawa project. She pulled items out of boxes and explained how they were obtained and why they are suit-able for the destination.

“I come home and find things hanging from the door-knob or sitting on our deck,” Buhr said of the stream of dona-tions that arrive, sometimes mysteriously.

And she and Faulkner enjoy the challenge of bargain hunting.

“It’s amazing how much we can do with $10 in this town!”

The stories of generosity abound, including that of locals Robert and Nancy McLean and their son, a pilot who flies for Perimeter Aviation.

“Nancy came to me this past year and mentioned that her

son is a pilot for Perimeter Aviation and would be coming through to Creston to visit,” said Buhr. “She said that if we could get something together for her, she would make sure her son got it and he would himself take it when he flew into Shamattawa from Winnipeg. With the gorgeous gift of an Xbox from Ken Shukin and the Xbox company’s over-whelming gift of 213 games, Nancy and Robert sent their son home to Winnipeg with some pretty heavy boxes for the school in Shamattawa.

“And yes, he flew it up to them. I am sure that the kids were pretty happy to be able to play a few games on the Xbox at school as a reward!”

The long trip to northern Manitoba starts with pallets being packed and moved with the help of the Shukin family. The pallets are delivered by Creston Parcel and Delivery to Columbia Brewery, where they are transferred to a semi that eventually gets them to Manitoba. Co-ordinating the shipment involves numerous trucking companies and relies finally on the generosity of Perimeter Aviation, which flies it to the final destination.

Generosity still helping Manitoba communityBY LORNE ECKERSLEY

Advance Staff

The story is by now familiar to Advance readers. Muriel Buhr was at a friend’s home in Arrow Creek when she heard the friend’s son, an RCMP constable, talk about life in the northern

Manitoba community of Shamattawa. Apples, he said, were a luxury in this fly-in First Nations reserve about 1,300 kilo-metres north Winnipeg.

Now, six years later, another load of apples — and much, much more — is on its way to the community of 1,400, which was

BY LORNE ECKERSLEYAdvance Staff

Director Gary Atha says that Creston audi-ences can expect to be rolling in the aisles with laughter at Creston Footlighters’ upcoming production of Nana’s Naughty Knickers.

“It is fast and funny and a most people will relate to it very much,” Atha said. “This play provides a great evening of laughter and would be a great night with its appeal to both males and females.”

The play, written by Katherine DiSavino, is a classic farce that will appeal to adults who don’t mind the occasional spicy language.

The story takes place in New York, where Bridget (Anna Payne) and her Nana (Suzanne Chubb) are about to become roommates. However, what Bridget saw as a unique oppor-tunity to stay with her favorite grandmother in New York for the sum-mer quickly turns into an experience she’ll never forget. It seems her sweet Grandma is running an illegal bou-tique from her apart-ment, selling handmade naughty knickers to every senior citizen in the five-borough area!

The plot thickens when Nana faces a nefarious plot to oust her from the rent-con-trolled apartment she operates — very quietly — from. Mayhem, not surprisingly, ensues.

Atha will be making his directorial debut next week, but he brings about 15 years of stage and singing experience with him, most of it with Abbotsford’s four com-munity theatres.

•When police checked on a male with a curfew he was found to be breaching court conditions by consuming alco-hol and being in the company of a specific person. He was arrested and held for a court appearance.

•At the same location, a female was found to have an outstanding arrest warrant for assault. She was taken into cus-tody until a court appearance was scheduled.

•An intoxicated female in the 200 block of 15th Avenue North was taken to hospital for treatment.

November 21•A backpack reported lost in

the 1500 block of Granary Road was later found nearby, with-out the iPhone and cash that it had contained.

•A vehicle rolled into a guardrail at the landfill drop-off on Mallory Road.

•An unwanted female guest appeared at a Highway 21 residence.

November 22•A three-hour rescue opera-

tion was required to get a 19-year-old male to hospital after he vaulted a concrete bar-ricade in the 5600 block of Canyon-Lister Road. He was walking and saw an oncoming vehicle, so he jumped over the barricade not knowing that there was a 200-foot drop

awaiting. He was treated for injuries.

•Police got more than they expected when they responded to a report of threats on Sixth Avenue North. During the investigation they saw unse-cured firearms and requested a search warrant. The search revealed more firearms, which were seized. A 31-year-old male was arrested and charged with a number of infractions. He will appear in court in February.

•Police were unable to locate a source of gunshots reported in the Riley Road Area.

•The host of a noisy party on Northwest Boulevard was warned.

•A male reported “young punks” setting off fireworks near Northwest Boulevard.

Knickers in a knot with new Footlighters play

“I used to go to a lot of theatre when I was younger,” he said. “I think I always wanted to partici-pate, even back in high school, but my parents said there was no future in a theatrical career and dissuaded me.”

The dream didn’t die, though.“I would sit and watch in the-

atres and think, I could do this. I could act.”

His first production involved playing four small parts in Shadowlands.

“And that was it,” he laughed. “I think I have done at least a show a year ever since.”

When Atha and his wife con-sidered moving to Creston for their retirement, the presence of an active community theatre company was a key consider-ation. He has been involved since they arrived in 2013.

One of his last productions in Abbotsford set the stage for Footlighters to perform this par-ticular farce. He played a role in Nana’s Naughty Knickers, which sold out for each of the nine shows in the run.

“I love both musical and dra-matic theatre and I actually prefer to be on stage,” he said. “But I

couldn’t resist when Brian Lawrence told me that Frank Goodsir wanted to back away from directing [this fall] and asked if I would take the job. I guess it’s fair to say that directing has been on my bucket list.”

In addition to Suzanne Chubb in the title role, Anna Payne plays Bridget in her first lead role and veteran Ann Deatherage also takes a comedic turn. Lawrence, Peter Simon, Logan Thompson, Leif Deatherage, Alexandra Ewashen and Susan Jorgensen round out the cast.

Since holding auditions in August, the cast has been rehears-ing at least twice a week, averaging about five hours weekly. It’s a big commitment for volunteers to spend so many evenings away from home, but they obviously enjoy the opportunity to entertain others.

“It’s a fun production,” Atha said. “No one dies, but there is a delightful reveal at the end that is sure to surprise the audience.”

Nana’s Naughty Knickers will be presented Dec. 3-5 at Prince Charles Theatre and tickets are selling briskly, available at Black Bear Books, Kingfisher Used Books and Fine Coffee and Creative Fix.

I think that history will judge the current mess in the Middle East as having been exacerbated by the United States’ response to the airplane attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001. While there is no question the horrors of that day were intended to induce ter-ror, the U.S. government had a choice to respond to the devasta-tion as a crime or an act of war. It is hardly a surprise that a govern-ment that included the likes of Dick Cheney and Karl Rove chose the latter.

The response was not surpris-ing, but nor was it unprecedented. Americans like their wars, even if they don’t involve attacks on Third World islands and other inferior opponents. Successive administra-tions have declared “wars” on crime, poverty, drugs and other flavours of the day, even appoint-ing “czars” (an odd choice for a title if there ever was one) to lead various crusades.

If the choice to craft a war-like response to the 9-11 events was predictable, the details weren’t. Invading Iraq and Afghanistan, two crappy examples of nation-hood to be sure, might have had an appeal but neither mission had a direct connection to the terrorist attacks. Saudi Arabian nationals were at the controls and their financing almost certainly came from their home country, but Saudi Arabia gets the same free pass as Israel from the U.S. Both countries seem to have carte blanche to behave badly without threat of retaliation from their buddies across the Atlantic.

By labelling the air attacks an act of war, the U.S. (and its allies) gave instant credibility to all the misfits and miscreants who see no future in building their own coun-

tries up, and so seek to tear others down. Being classed as warriors instead of crooks played right into their hands, giving them a cachet amongst their own and elevating the fear of citizens around the world.

As radicals in largely impover-ished countries work to recruit others to their cause of disman-tling the western world, their prospects improve dramatically when they promote their actions as a call to war. It wouldn’t be as fashionable to join up with a bunch of seedy criminals as it is go to war and fight for a cause in the name of Islam.

As brighter minds than me have pointed out recently, Islam is not the problem democracies have to be concerned with. Most major religions have been used over the course of history as an excuse to kill others. Christianity is no exception.

If the choice had been to respond to terrorism as criminal activity, the buildup that led to ISIS might not have come so easily. If there really is some kind of sick belief that blowing up oneself and others creates a path to the hereaf-ter, it doesn’t seem likely that it would have become so widespread if we in the west viewed them as criminals.

At every step of the way since 9-11, the western response has

rewarded the radicals. They want to be seen as martyrs and they want us to be anti-Islam. It feeds their own pathetic worldview and tells them that they are on the right path. We did, after all, fall hook, line and sinker for the rhetoric of our own leaders when we were told about “weapons of mass destruction” (as if nuclear arms don’t qualify) and some actually believed George W. Bush’s asser-tion that Iraqis would greet invad-ing troops with bouquets of flow-ers as we worked to “win their hearts and minds”.

So now we have this roving state we call ISIS, in which terror-ists commit unspeakable crimes (yes, crimes) against what we mis-takenly believe to be their own people on a mission that really has no goal other than to disrupt and create havoc. Heck, if I was living in squalor and misery with no hope for a better future, it wouldn’t take much to rouse me to a level of hatred against those whose lives are luxurious by com-parison, and not devoid of hope.

The saddest evidence that our own “war on terror” has backfired is in the response by those who decry taking in refugees, claiming it puts us at risk of the ne’er-do-wells who blow things and people up in the name of Allah. The same knuckle-heads who think that free trade is OK even if it reduces a signatory country’s own sovereignty suddenly get all huffy and paranoid about people who fear for their own lives in ways we cannot even imagine.

Game and set to the terrorists. We are going to have to get a lot smarter, and not meaner, if we want to have any hope of winning the match.

Eihei Dogen, the 13th-century Zen master whose essay I’ve been writing about in this column, says that mountains are both sentient and insentient. They are insentient in the sense that they are physical presences without consciousness. But of course, mountains are expressive. When we study a moun-tain we feel something special. We feel what the mountain expresses. An Earth without mountains is a different Earth, and when you live in mountain country, as we do, we have a special feeling about the mountains. They affect us. Similarly, if you live in another kind of coun-try, such as the Prairies, the big sky is very different from mountains and expresses something different about life and about human con-sciousness. So mountains are insen-tient. They are just stuff, but they are also sentient in that they express something.

We humans are the same as mountains. We are insentient in that we are just stuff. There is not much difference between this body and a mountain. If we analyze the materials in both, we see that they are more or less the same stuff. But our stuff is so smart. It regulates the heart, makes sure we breathe, main-tains homeostasis. Our bodies are

enormously complex and intelli-gent. In that sense, our bodies, like the mountains, are so wise and powerful that without saying a word we express something mean-ingful. Language has words that

combine together to make meaning. People are like words in that they combine together to make meaning. This is how meaning appears; it is created among us.

In Zen meditation and practice, we emphasize the body. We use our capacity for awareness to feel the body, to connect to the breath. We allow the body to be as it is, in the moment. In so doing, we unite our consciousness with the universal experience of being a body. This is one of the most important parts of Zen meditation because we so often think of the body as a container for something else that is the “real” us. Our culture and our conditioning

have not taught us to appreciate the wisdom of the body or, for that mat-ter, the wisdom of the mountain and the Prairies.

Our human body is like the sea that has the profound wisdom to be in tune with the moon, to be in tune with the spinning of the Earth, to be a perfect habitat for all the ocean creatures. How did this hap-pen? How did the ocean become so perfect for ocean creatures? How did the mountains become so per-fect for mountain creatures? It’s amazing!

We human beings are the same. Our bodies are perfectly adapted to this planet, to the food that’s avail-able, to air and water, to the con-sciousness that we possess. Our bod-ies, exactly as we are, are as perfect and as wise as the insentience of the mountains, the Prairies and the ocean.

Suggested practice: Intentionally rest your awareness on the experi-ence of being a body.

To the Editor:My theory on global warming starts

with electricity. Alternating current (AC) all goes to the ground, where it meets with the water. With water being a conductor of electricity, it picks up the electricity and carries it to the ocean with a speed of 186,000 miles a second. It is almost there instantly.

What affirmed my theory was a report by David Spence of CTV Calgary about the power poles on the street in Calgary being splashed by vehicles. The salt water spray from the street suddenly caused the poles to burst into flames. That’s what hap-pens when AC electricity meets with salt water.

When you put AC current into salt water, it heats up very quickly. As it gets warmer, all the warmth rises, so you will have all the warm water at the top and you will have an area of warm air above the ocean, the ocean breeze

being the male and water being the female. Water is made up of molecules, with each molecule having a hole in it, which is where it stores the oxygen.

It is essential to keep water supplied with oxygen. Without oxygen, all the animals and organisms in the water could not survive. With ocean breezes blowing, it has to push the warm air out of the way to get to the water, which in turn causes very high pres-sure. The pressure is constantly build-ing up as it crosses the ocean, and when it hits land, all the pressure is suddenly released, causing tornadoes and destruction.

As far as the Arctic ice, it is not melt-ing from the atmosphere. It is melting because of the ocean’s warm water. It is melting down below and losing the footings, so when it can no longer hold on, it breaks loose and floats away. If it was caused by the atmosphere, it would be melting from the top down. It would melt where it is and not float away.

There is so much electricity in the ocean that the Americans have found a way to recover it. They have units four miles off the coast of California that pick up the electricity and with a large cable take it to the shore where they power many homes.

The ocean is crying out for help and no one is listening.

To the Editor:Our recent federal election left a bad

taste in my mouth. I am not a card-car-rying member of any political party and have been following politics for more than 60 years. I have never seen news media as against a prime minister as they recently were. Both CBC and CTV newscasters never had one posi-tive word to say about Mr. Harper. What’s more, his time coverage in the newscasts was about one-third of the coverage for each individual leader from the other parties. I have no doubt we have the right party in power but who chose them?

If this would have happened with our neighbours to the south I think there would have been a lot of lawsuits going on. We all know it was time for a change in federal politics but why not let the people make up their own minds? I would like to make up my own mind without the help of the newscasters.

Advent is here. As an Anglican, Advent was a time of preparation prior to Christmas. Every Sunday in December, we lit a candle signifying some aspect of the coming saviour. Every day in December, I would open a little window in my Advent calen-dar, increasing my anticipation of Christmas, not that I needed any help in that area.

Upon marriage, I joined a Baptist Church where my husband and I intro-duced them to the December Advent wreath.

As Orthodox, Advent is so much more than a wreath.

Advent is known as the nativity fast and begins on Nov. 15. It is a full vegan fast where we refrain from all meat and dairy, which makes it really hard trying to do any Christmas bak-ing. The nativity fast parallels the Paschal Lenten fast.

During the nativity fast, we prepare for the birth of Christ, to receive Him as the saviour of the world and then, 13 days later, on the feast of Theophany, we celebrate His baptism, when He is

raised to His full ministry. During Lent, we prepare for Christ's sacrificial death on the cross and His glorious resurrec-tion, saving all of creation.

Christ was born in order to die. He was baptized in order to be raised. This season of nativity is often referred to as the winter Pascha. The Pascha of Christ's resurrection was begun at the Pascha of His birth.

The nativity fast incor-porates other meaningful feast days. On Nov. 21, we celebrate the Feast of the Entrance into the Temple of the Theotokos.

The Orthodox know Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, as the Theotokos, meaning God-bearer. Her entrance into the temple is not recorded in the gospels. Much of what we know about Mary is found in the book of James, known as the Protevangelion, which

dates back to the second century.Mary was born to an aged couple,

Joachim and Anna, who had prayed to God for a child. When she was born, they dedicated her to God. They kept her as their own for three years until the time came to keep their promise, in part because they were nearing death. They formed a procession of the young girls of the neighbourhood to escort Mary. The girls danced in front of Mary, carry-ing torches. Drawn by the lights and the procession and a sense of destiny, Mary followed them joyfully to the temple, not crying once as she was parted from her parents.

As she approached the temple, the holy virgin ran ahead of the other maid-

ens and threw herself into the arms of the High Priest Zacharias, (who was later father to John the Baptist). He had been waiting for her at the gate of the temple. Zacharias blessed her saying, “It is in you that He has glorified your name in every generation. It is in you that He will reveal the redemption that He has prepared for His people in the last days.”

Zacharias led Mary into the temple where the grace of the Lord descended upon her, thus making her the living Holy of Holies, the living sanctuary and temple of God who would take His flesh from her and dwell within her for nine months. Traditionally, the Orthodox Church views this moment as negating the need for the physical temple in Jerusalem as the dwelling place of God, replacing it instead with the hearts of all those who love and serve God.

Mary remained in the temple for nine years. When she was 12 years old, the time when young girls were to marry, Joseph was chosen by God to be her guardian and protector.

The Feast of the Entrance of the Theotokos into the Temple is the begin-ning of Mary’s total dedication to God and the beginning of her preparation to become Mother of the Incarnate Lord. This is a feast of anticipation and that is why it is celebrated during the nativity fast. As we show honour to Mary in her preparation, we are to emulate her dedication and prepara-tions as we anticipate the incarnation of Christ, the Saviour of the world who will be born next month on Dec. 25, the Feast of the Nativity.

For many people living with thin-ning hair or hair loss, the condition can be life-altering. Some — men

and women alike — won’t leave home without a hat, worried about the social

stigma surrounding their condition.

“Hair loss is a politi-cally charged topic,” said Sandy Goldsmith, owner of Capilia Hair and Scalp Centre at 3019 Highway 3 in

Erickson. “Men can be bald without attracting attention, but women can’t. For women, our hair is our crowning glory. We don’t realize how much it means to us until we start to lose it. It’s devastating to the point where people are afraid to wash or brush their hair. For cancer patients, it has an even deeper meaning.”

But there may be a solution to the distress.

“Our motto is, “If there’s hair, there’s hope,’ ” said Goldsmith. “A healthy scalp grows healthy hair.”

Capilia — which uses exclusive Canadian-made, 100 per cent natural Laboratoire Nature products — offers a variety of treatments, for conditions including, but not limited to, thinning hair, alopecia and eczema.

Goldsmith discovered her new career during many hours of research in a business course. She found Novera International, a Canadian leader in the hair loss and replacement industry. She flew to Toronto to train with Novera’s cutting edge technology and become a trichologist, which made it possible to become a Capilia affiliate.

“Trichology is the science that allows us to identify and treat affections related

to the hair and scalp,” she said. “I offer a personalized consultation where I do a detailed analysis of your scalp with a microcamera and specialized software, and I can suggest a professional treatment adapted to your condition.”

Goldsmith has lived in the Creston Valley for 28 years, moving here with her husband, Ken, for the beauty and opportunity.

“It was a wonderful place to raise three sons,” said Goldsmith. “And I cannot say enough about how great this community has been to us.”

She had been a hairdresser since the mid-1970s, and became a master colourist, investing time and money in maintaining and perfecting her skills. But stress and modern diets are taking their toll on scalps and hair, and Goldsmith’s educa-tion didn’t cover hair loss remedies.

“None of my training helped when I had a client sit in my chair and show concern over thinning hair or some sort of scalp affection,” Goldsmith said. “To be quite honest, I didn’t have the answers for them other than a one-size-fits-all product that mostly was unsuccessful. If I had a client — and I had many — who went through che-motherapy or radiotherapy treatments who would experience hair loss, I had to send them out of town for wigs.”

For medical or non-medical hair loss, the centre offers natural-looking wigs, hair prostheses and systems, made with cutting edge technology. That made becoming a trichologist and opening Western Canada’s first Capilia centre in August 2014 especial-ly exciting for her, with her background as a stylist preparing her for a future in the hair loss industry.

“I’ve been able to be at the cutting edge of my art and offer clients hair replacement services that look completely natural, by cutting, colouring and styling them,” said Goldsmith. “When I first started to do this as a career, I really felt like the stars lined up for me.”

It’s been a surprise for many clients to learn that a hair loss centre is avail-able in the Creston Valley, said Goldsmith, and she’s happy to be able to help them, whether they be male or female, old or young.

“It is such a great feeling knowing when a guest leaves our centre they have a feeling of hope and renewed self-confidence,” she said. “Since entering into this new career, I feel like I not only am changing looks and how people feel, but changing lives.”

Some people, not having seen the Kootenay River close up, may not be sure of which way it flows, north or south. It may seem somewhat logical to say it flows south as rivers

flow down and south is “down”. However, the Kootenay River flows both south and north — south in the Columbia-Kootenay Valley near Cranbrook, north in the Creston Valley. Now, hopeful-ly, without going and checking it out, some of the myths about this river are dismissed. (Go and check it out.)

East of Cranbrook, this lengthy river flows south into Montana, then west into Idaho, passing by Bonners Ferry where it swings north to ultimately flow into Kootenay Lake and into the Columbia River at Castlegar. Its waters are in and out of the United States and back in again, later dumping into the Pacific Ocean northwest of Portland, Ore. Of course, as with birds, it is somewhat inconsequential to the river which country it is passing through. It was something like that when David Thompson’s canoes plied this interesting river from about 1804-1806.

From either a standing or sitting position, on the banks of Kootenay River, I have wondered just where the once-upon-a-time big fish, the

sturgeons, were lurking, car-rying out their usual role of “vacuuming” the river bot-tom. Tall tales of this denizen of the river depths have entranced a lot of people. I

have heard tales of them pulling deer into the river by the feet (sturgeon do have a resemblance to a crocodile). Then there is the story of the big one requiring a jeep to pull it out, which, on its imme-diate appearance, mysteriously “trans-formed” into a water-

logged tree trunk before the lucky fisherman’s very eyes.

Sturgeon are primarily bot-tom feeders, but their affinity for chicken has been their weakness; thus, their demise on a fisherman’s line. Actually, they are quite the survivors, for they have lived through tether-ing in shallow water while, over days, the community peo-ple have come and cut off piec-es for the next meal. And the sturgeon lived on.

In the early ’70s, there was a meat shop on the south side of Canyon Street where behind the large old-fash-ioned storefront-type window was a large preserved stur-geon. With a little guessing, I would say it may have been somewhere around seven feet in length, quite large in today’s standards. With a lit-tle more guessing, I would venture to say it was of a smaller size compared to some, which, I recollect being told, measured up to around 12 or 13 feet.

One of my favorite spots on the banks of the Kootenay River is where it surges into Kootenay Lake. It doesn’t have to be a sunny day when I ven-ture there. In fact, I have, on

one occasion, purposefully waited for a stormy day to go out there, especially when the wind is coming from the north off the lake.

On this one occasion, there was a fine drizzle being driv-en almost horizontally on the wind. As I approached the gravel shoreline, near the rail-way bridge, I had to lean into the wind to maintain my bal-ance. The surface of the river seemed to be lapped up or sending up “tongues” of water as the wind blew against the rivers flow and lake pushed back against its current. Interestingly there was a lot less moisture there, and, in fact, I wasn’t even get-ting very wet. But, I sought a more sheltered stretch of gravel behind a large log where I lay down facing the sky. While enjoying the calm, the wind howled over the log and overhead. It reminded me of a stormy day on an Atlantic shoreline.

The color of Kootenay River varies from spring to late summer. Probably the most striking appearance of the river occurs later in the summer when the mud of spring’s erosion has settled. Then the river may appear to have an almost turquoise-green hue, when glacial silts are much more predominate. Before industries became established up stream, this coloring was much more vivid.

Kootenay River, like many of our natural “scapes”, from one day to the next is never the same. As you have heard before, it is never a case of been there, done that. It deserves another visit!

I recently ended up going to the Coast for three days. I thought three days with no snow would be enough time to go pick up a dune buggy from my sister ’s farm. I’d

been there about 12 hours before the phone rang and, surprise, they wanted me to receive 12 pallets of peat moss for the nursery the next morn-ing. Bill Truscott was kind enough to come over and unload it for me. I made it home the next day.

About a month ago, I was out in the nursery field about to dig some trees when I noticed an overnight visitor to the nurs-ery had died. It was a young buck with a large slash wound across the shoulder. He had

simply found a nice tree to shelter under, laid down and died. That is where I buried him, under the Russian olive tree. A surprising number of deer die at the farm. Most often

I suspect they were hit by a vehicle, but not this time.

In any case, the next day I was riding my bicycle through the back of the farm to turn off some irri-gation. I came with some surprise upon a large black bear! I seemed to have scared it more than it

me. It climbed up the largest Douglas fir tree in the gardens and stayed there long enough for me to turn off the water and get a couple pictures.

Later the next week, I was cutting the lawn. Circumstantial evidence indi-cates the bear favours plums. As there are plums in the orchard next door, this is where it had been feeding for some time. I had already picked all my apples and pears from the nursery. I raked and cleaned up under-

neath the walnuts and removed any other items I thought the bear would be interested in. I burned all the leaves by where the bear seemed to be making his bed, down by the creek bottom. I spent another week cleaning leaves from the rear gardens with one eye over my shoul-der, making as much noise as I could trying to discourage it from hanging around.

Until last week, all was well. I was having a lot less deer hanging around. That is, until the bear ventured up into the nursery area and ripped open the beehives, so far only the ones in the cherry orchard, which are located about 400 feet north of the creek, and for now not the ones in the apples, which are actually closer to the creek bottom about 400 feet to the east. If this weren’t such a dry year, I would have no toler-ance for this. We will have to set up an electric fence to keep the bear out of the remaining hives.

In mentioning the bear to my neighbours to the south, they shared some information

was the appropriate course of action in responding to a request for infor-mation about the Highway of Tears. Having lied about his actions under oath, the staff person now faces an investigation by the RCMP.

In response, we’ve seen denials, diversions and deflections. Christy Clark has reassigned all freedom of information requests to an office head-ed by someone who to date has not produced any records on some of the most notable decisions under his purview, such as the firing of seven health research-ers and the departure of Clark’s former

chief of staff. How does someone who fails to produce records on decisions that impact the public be responsible for disclosing information about deci-sions impacting the public? Perhaps fixing the problem is the problem for Ms. Clark, and so she does her best to deflect it.

However, this is your information. You have a right to know the reasons and rationale behind government deci-

sions — decisions made on your behalf. That is the law. So when government has created a culture of deleting those records, you are facing a culture of secrecy and deception. That’s not OK, as our now former prime minister recently learned.

How deep is the Clark government culture of delete and deception?

“How deep does it go?” was my question to the BC Liberal minister responsible for British Columbians’ freedom of information laws when we discovered that senior staffers in ministers and the premier’s office were break-ing the law.

Two hours earlier, B.C.’s independent infor-mation and privacy commissioner, Elizabeth Denham, had released a report explaining the BC Liberal government’s practice of triple-delet-ing to fully expunge the public record of impor-tant government decisions — like the decision to not put buses on the Highway of Tears. Triple deleting contravenes the laws of the land, and it was clear from the report that we had only hit the tip of the iceberg, which sparked my ques-tion, “How deep does this go?”

As it turns out, it goes very deep. Over the last few weeks in Victoria, my New Democrat col-leagues and I have been digging into this scandal because it isn’t the first time Christy Clark’s Liberals have been caught failing to obey our freedom of information laws.

Back in 2013, Ms. Denham raised the alarm that the premier’s office had the worst rate of disclosing information about government decisions. It seemed that no one kept records in Ms. Clark’s office. Then we found out that her staff was using Gmail accounts to hide their partisan work on the taxpayers’ dime in the quick-wins scandal.

And now, after four reports and years of advice and recommendations on how to be open and transparent, we learn that the pre-mier’s staff still chooses Post-it Notes and daily triple deletion of emails instead of dis-closing what they are doing on the public’s behalf. This doesn’t look like some accidental mistake where staff just doesn’t know the rules.

But it doesn’t stop at the premier’s office. Denham’s report pointed to similar practices in the Ministry of Advanced Education under Amrik Virk, who Clark has since appointed the minister responsible for freedom of infor-mation. When he was minister of advanced education, we uncovered attempts to conceal his misdeeds from his time as a board member of Kwantlen Polytechnic University. That’s when Clark shuffled him to his current post.

The minister of transportation, Todd Stone, has since admitted that he too triple deletes. A few steps over to the next computer, his staff thought that deletion rather than disclosure

I am a shy spayed female tabby. I spent time on the streets of Creston and came to PAWS with my kittens. I appreciate all the shelter has to offer, but I need a home to call my own. I would be suitable as in inside/outside cat because of my upbringing.Please consider making me yours.

The Creston Valley Thunder Cats earned a shutout and also suffered a loss on the weekend, but maintained their second-place position in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Eddie Mountain Division.

They started out hosting the Doug Birks Division’s Sicamous Eagles on Friday, shutting them out 3-0 with goals by Carson Cartwright in the first period, Brett Witala in the second and Logan Styler (empty net) in the third.

“The score probably flatters us a little bit,” said head coach Jeff Dubois.

The team, he said, didn’t make an easy night for goaltender Brett Lefebvre, who stopped all 47 Eagles shots.

“We haven’t played our nest game in front of Brett for a few weeks,” he said. “It’s not that we’ve been bad on a regu-lar basis. I don’t think we’ve been as good as we can be consistently.”

The Golden Rockets got off to a bet-ter start than the Thunder Cats in Sunday’s game, scoring twice in the first period. Witala scored early in the sec-ond, a goal followed by two more from the Rockets. In the third period, Witala scored six minutes in, with Lien Miller-Jeannotte adding a third goal with four minutes remaining. The Rockets scored again three minutes later.

“We put ourselves in a hole early in the game and Golden scored a couple goals off turnovers in our zone,” said Dubois. “By the time we got our act together in the third, we dug ourselves a deep enough hole that we couldn’t get back into it.”

Five players were missing in Sunday’s game — a combination of ill-ness and violations of team rules — but being shorthanded was no excuse.

“At the same time, the group of guys that were out there definitely didn’t get the job done,” he said.

He was pleased, though, by the per-formance of Witala, who started Friday after being traded for Austin Steger, who now plays for the Campbell River Storm in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League.

In Friday’s game, the newcomer’s line with James Severs and Ian Desrosiers created a lot of opportuni-ties, and he was involved in all three Sunday goals.

Win and loss for Thunder Cats

“We were expecting to get a fast, skilled guy who was going to contrib-ute,” said Dubois. “He’s as good as advertised, probably better. He’s got some real star quality on the offensive side and caught everybody’s attention.”

This weekend, the Thunder Cats play only one game, hosting the Beaver

Valley Nitehawks, who currently lead the Neil Murdoch Division.

“Beaver Valley always tests you physi-cally,” said Dubois. “If you try to take shortcuts, it catches up pretty quickly. … It’s going to be a real test to see if we can get back on track with our work ethic and play on the defensive side of the puck.”

Victoria (Vikki) Gogol

Known for her integrity and desire to put others fi rst, Vikki was a caring and patient woman who always had good things to say. She had a great sense of humor and always tried to lighten up any situation, especially her time at the dialysis unit of the Creston Valley Hospital.Vikki was born December 1, 1939 to Walter and Josephine Chopty in Invermay, Saskatchewan. She received a grade 8 education but that did not limit her in any way. She went back to school in Tisdale and become a nurse's aid, a job she did at the Canora General Hospital and at the Vancouver General Hospital. The family moved to Vancouver, BC and she was a great stay at home mom. As her children grew older she re-entered the work force delivering optical frames. She was such a great employee and her work did not go unnoticed. A kind man from Montreal hired her to work at Superlite Optical where in no time she worked her way to Western Canada Manager.She was excited to become a grandmother and when long weekend visits were not enough, she gave up everything to move to Creston to follow her family. While working at 7/11 she went back to school to be a long term care aid and worked at Swan Valley Lodge until her mandatory retirement.Vikki enjoyed many passions in her life including gardening and she enjoyed sharing the fi ner points of her lifetime of gardening with her family. She loved to

do needlework and sewing and knitting. She was the happiest when she could be outdoors, whether it was fi shing, gardening with the stereo on high or just watching her family playing in the park.First and foremost, Vikki was a dedicated and loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She is survived by her son Jeffrey Gogol (Vicki); daughter Janice Wood (Robert); her grandchildren Anthony Wood (Angela) and Jaclyn Chambers (John); and her great-grandchildren Cassidy Wood, Karissa Wood, Alyx Wood, and Konnor Reutgen as well as her brother Mike (Alice), and her sister Margaret (Earl). She is also leaving behind many special nieces and nephews and many treasured friends. She was preceded in death by her parents Walter and Josephine; her brothers Russell and Lorne (Jeanette) and Norbert Gogol, father of Jeff and Janice.Vikki will be remembered as a great lady who only saw the world with a smile on her face.

A Celebration of Life was held atG.F. Oliver Funeral Chapel(225 15th Ave N Creston) onNovember 19, 2015 at 11 am,

followed by a fellowship at the Lutheran Fellowship Hall

(315 15th Ave N Creston).A memorial will be held in the spring of 2016 for all who want to say goodbye

The Prince Charles Secondary School Bulldogs are headed for the Coast having won the Kootenay senior boys’ AA volleyball title at their home gym in Creston on the weekend.

PCSS swept aside its lone challengers from Kimberley and Invermere to claim the zone title and earn a berth in the British Columbia high school championships, Dec. 2-5 in Langley.

A 25-8, 25-16, 25-17 dis-mantling of Kimberley’s Selkirk Storm in the best-of-five final Saturday afternoon, their first match of that length all season, punched the Bulldogs’ ticket to the 16-team pro-vincial tournament to be held at the Langley Event Centre in suburban Vancouver.

It was the Creston team’s second victory over Selkirk in a matter of hours, as the Bulldogs

wrapped up an unde-feated round-robin por-tion of the zones by sweeping Selkirk 25-16, 25-17 in a best-of-three set match Saturday morning.

The Bulldogs opened the tournament Friday with a 25-21, 25-10 tri-umph over the David Thompson Lakers of Invermere. PCSS was only seriously tested in the first set of that match, after seeing an early 15-3 lead dwindle to as few as three points before hang-ing on and then pulling away in the second set.

The Bulldogs, featur-ing six Grade 12 students and three from Grade 11, are scheduled to depart on Tuesday in prepara-tion for their opening matches the next day.

In the five-team Kootenay zone girls’ playoffs also held in Creston on the weekend, PCSS reached the final against Selkirk before falling in straight sets.

Lights Used to Shine is a Christmas-themed concert for all ages embracing the authentic spirit of the season with Canadian alternative-folk singers Sheree Plett and Jeremy Eisenhauer, who perform Dec. 4 at the Sasquatch.

Plett and Eisenhauer are married songwriters that have earned their keep playing music all over the continent for the past decade. Their har-monies blend traditional alt-country with mod-ern folk, collaborating the great sounds of the past, with new innovation and depth.

Vancouver was home for the couple and their three kids until the mystical mountains of the Kootenays called them east where they now reside. They have eight albums under their col-lective belt, two of which are Christmas-themed, featuring a heavy dose of their own originals.

Over the last eight years, it has been a family tradition to brave the winter roads, put on some good winter tires and head out on a Christmas tour. Their entourage has grown as this will be the first tour they embark on with their third child in tow.

Their hope is to engage listeners with an authentic look at the meaning of Christmas, with its warmth and joy, but also with it's realism and

mystery. In song, the duo intends to entice an oblique reflection on the season, and allow a new understanding of what it is that seems to keep drawing us back into its joyful depths.

Tickets are available in advance at Buffalo Trails Coffee House, Black Bear Books or Kingfisher Used Books, or at the door, which opens at 6 p.m.; the show starts at 7.

SubmittedHEE HAW — Five-month-old Pedro is the newest addition to Spectrum Farms, where he is a guardian for the farm’s sheep. While sheep will run from a predator, a donkey will show aggression, and can defend itself and the sheep by kicking, and potentially killing, a predator. Pedro lives with the sheep, eats the same food and has integrated well with the flock.

Sarah Jane Scouten is on the road this month and December with intent and purpose.

The singer, raised on Bowen Island, B.C., is crafting curated folk music shows for the Canadian provinces she is visiting, and, for some months, has been consulting ethnomusi-cologists about the tra-ditional songs of the region, which are not always locally known. For British Columbia, she’s unearthed mining songs, telling tales of Britannia Beach and the lives of hard rock miners from the turn of the century. For Alberta, it’s a view of the ranch, built on the oral tradition of cowboy songs.

“It is a common belief that traditional Canadian music west of the Prairies does not exist, or has been irrevocably lost,” said Scouten. “I’m excited to say that isn’t the case.”

Touring with a full band, which includes Sly Juhas on drums, James McEleney on bass and Nichol Robertson on guitar, the songs cho-sen are about the work of settlers, miners and homesteaders, arranged with modern sensi-bilities. They’re made to fit alongside the original material in order to illustrate that folk song is an unbroken line in all parts of Canada, alive and well in contemporary folk artists, with original songs like “Black Strap Sadie” and “The Cape” being as rooted in a place as their predecessors.

In 2014, Scouten released her second full-length album, The Cape, named after her child-hood playground Cape Roger Curtis and a stormy 7.5-minute-long ballad by the same name. The record throws a wake for all the things we won’t have back again, found in the shameless nos-talgia for place, time, lost loved ones, frayed family ties and bonds too strong to break.

A traditionalist at heart, Scouten shows her signature flair for the roots of roots music, ranging from western swing, honky tonk, Cajun and Appalachian string band music and a hint of the Maritimes. With respect for these roots, she writes from her own perspective, rath-er than taking on a persona or copying a style, and only writes about what she knows profoundly.

Sarah Jane Scouten performs Dec. 2 at A Break in Time Caffé.

gang members being arrested or murdered, membership is usually in a constant state of fl ux with internal competition for leadership roles.
