Creston RCMP are investigating the cause of a fire early on April 30 that left a male youth in serious con-dition with burns covering much of his body.
Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan said on Monday that the fire is believed to be suspicious in nature.
Creston Fire Rescue Chief Mike Moore said on Friday that the Creston fire department responded to a report
of a fire at 202 18th Avenue South.“Upon arrival it was determined
that there were still multiple occupants unaccounted for from within the build-ing,” he said. “Firefighters performed searches of apartments, bringing four additional occupants out of the build-ing. A fifth occupant was rescued from within the unit on fire.”
The male was transported to hos-pital with life-threatening injuries and later flown to Vancouver.

Weaver’s final work in chamber displayBY LORNE ECKERSLEY

After a half-century of weaving wool tapestries, Lika Meers Skarzynska has retired from the art form, having sold her loom and given away the wool she spun and dyed over the years.
She made the decision after the death of her husband, beloved judo instructor Joe Meers, died a couple of years ago. Knowing she could not keep up the Lister acre-age that she and Joe had called their dream home, Skarzynska made the decision to make one final tapestry, a do-over of an ear-lier attempt to depict the impend-ing end of the world. Then she could sell the property.
She describes tapestry weaving as her “most impulsive means of self-expression.”Her fascination
with the art form began when she still lived in Poland. An education in theatrical art and art history led to a professional career in theatre, where she adapted stories and directed them for children’s pro-ductions. She started working with wool and hemp to make costumes and puppets for her children’s show. Other art forms soon evolved.
While her tapestries can be found the world over, Skarzynska’s most famous piece remains in Creston’s Holy Cross Catholic Church, exactly where she intend-ed. Her strength of character was put to the test when she visited the Vatican, where she was invited to take Madonna (formally titled Miraculous Image of Our Lady at Jazna Gora) to have it blessed by Pope John Paul II.

Upon seeing it, a cardinal said it should remain at the Vatican. Skarzynska insisted it would return to Canada with her because it is a Canadian Madonna, replete with maple leaves on her cloak, gold and silver threads and real freshwater pearls woven into her headdress.
Her motivations for weaving weren’t always religious or apoca-lyptic. She also undertook projects for the sheer enjoyment of creat-ing.
“The feeling of fibre in my fin-gers, touching it and working with beautiful and colourful wool gives me a lot of pleasure,” she told former Advance editor Betsy Brierley in an interview many years ago.
Some pieces, like a cityscape of Calgary with a huge tree in the fore-ground, are surprisingly whimsical.
But her final piece, Peril: The Destruction of the World, isn’t the only time she has depicted destruction. In 1996, Skarzynska told Advance reporter Chris Laursen, who was looking at a tapestry of an ancient Greek vase that was falling apart, “Everything that is powerful, every-thing that is beautiful, with time will fall apart.”
It is an apt metaphor for Peril. In it, a pair of devils are rising toward the Earth, which they are bent on destroying. Hands, symbolizing mankind, are reaching toward the heavens in an effort to escape.
It is Skarzynska’s second piece on the same theme. The earlier attempt, one she wasn’t par-ticular happy with, is now in the home of a friend “who understands”, she said.
When she began the project last year, with the sale of her and Joe’s home pending, she was clear that Peril would be her last tapestry. She was moving to a condo in town and would have neither the space nor inclination to weave more tapestries. A memoir, to be written in her native Polish, was already taking shape in her mind.
Tackling the project was not without its challenges.
“When I started to weave the images of the
“The firefighters were able to keep the fire con-tained to two apartments within the building,” Moore said. “Although the remainder of the ten-ants were displaced, they will likely be able to get back into the building within a week or two.
“The firefighters performed an incredible job
for which they train very hard. With one man rescued from the fire after succumbing to heat and smoke, and getting four other occupants out of the building and to safety, there is nothing more gratifying to see for me, as the fire chief.”
A Gofundme.com campaign to raise $10,000 toward the youth’s recovery has been started. On Sunday, the family wrote on the page, “Although Ross remains in critical life-threaten-ing condition, he was opening his eyes today for a few seconds, communicating with the nurse with head movement and they took him off his heart medication for now. So, positive news today.”

devils (she places a sketch behind the warp threads on the loom as a guide) the house just filled with flies,” she said. “They were every-where all of a sudden.”
It was a plague that wouldn’t allow her to continue, so she did what she has so often done in times of distress. Skarzynska took to her knees in prayer, pleading with God to let her carry on. The flies disappeared as quickly as they came, and soon she was back at work. She also listened to her favourite classical music pieces to find calm and inspiration.
For the next few months, Peril, along with three other Skarzynska tapestries, is on display at the Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce. The other three pieces, two with flowers and a third showing a girl on a butterfly-filled path, reflect the softer, more peaceful side of a woman whose faith allows her to see the world that can be as horrific as it is beautiful.

Tapestry
BY BRIAN LAWRENCEAdvance Editor
If you think you’ve seen all there is to see at the Creston Museum, you’re probably wrong — with a massive collection of artifacts chronicling the Creston Valley’s history, there’s always something new to learn.
When the museum opens for its season on May 9, so will “The Orchard Industry of the Creston Valley”, a series of four related exhib-its on the development of the local tree-fruit industry and the challenges it has faced and continues to face.
“We’re presenting this in con-junction with a new program, in which visitors will take part in hands-on activities at the museum that will help them understand some of the dilemmas fruit growers have faced throughout local history — whether to grow only apples or a variety of fruits, for example — and the consequences of their choices,” said manager Tammy Hardwick. “Then we’ll load them into a bus and take them out to a working orchard where they can see these issues, and their present-day solu-tions, in action.”
On the opening day, visitors can also take a look at the Battle of St. Julien exhibit, featured at the Trench Dinner the museum held in April, as well as enjoy a behind-the-scenes tour of the storage areas to learn more about the museum’s next major project. Tours run at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.; advance booking is recom-mended.
Later in the sum-mer, a wine and cheese night will open anoth-er new exhibit, “The Art of Style”, an exhib-it running Aug. 29-Sept.19 that focuses on Irwin Crosthwait, who grew up in Lister. He joined the Navy during the Second World War as a war artist specifically so he could get to Paris, where he launched a successful career as a fashion artist and abstract painter.
“The exhibit will showcase examples of his work from the museum’s collection, and some of the clothes he sketched — for well-known fashion names including Dior, Yves St-Laurent, and Balanciaga,” said Hardwick. “The open-ing event will feature local foods and bever-ages and an appropri-ate fashion-and-art-in-Paris classic film — we’re thinking either Funny Face or An American in Paris.”
The museum’s reg-ular events are on the schedule, too, starting with kids’ day on June 13.
“This is the one day of the year that’s all about kids getting
hands-on with history — every-thing from a spelling lesson in the schoolhouse to panning for gold and pretending to be a horse pull-ing a plough,” said Hardwick.
The ever-popular afternoon tea runs on Aug. 8, this year with a 1920s theme.
“Why is that exciting?” asked Hardwick. “Well, anything that fea-tures flappers, Charleston dancers and rum-runners has to be exciting.”
Every Tuesday afternoon in July and August, the museum offers “Lessons in the Schoolhouse”, a chance to go back in time and take a class in 1927 in the museum’s restored Kingsgate schoolhouse.
Finally, simply being a Creston Valley resident earns some perks, with free admission and a special presentation or exhibit opening on locals’ days on May 9, June 27 and July 18.
“We think it’s important that everyone on Creston gets to explore their community’s history,” said Hardwick.
The Creston Museum is open 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Monday-Saturday May 9-June 12, and 10 a.m.-5 p.m. seven days a week throughout the summer. For more information, contact the museum at 250-428-9262.

Council Briefs•Representatives from
Stantec Consulting Ltd., who will guide the Town of Creston and a committee of volunteers through the Official Community Plan process, presented an over-view of the process that will take nearly a year to complete. The OCP is a statutory requirement designed to help move the town through the next 30 years in an orderly fashion. Considerable community input will be invited to identify priorities for land use and other issues.
In the gallery were more than half of the advisory com-mittee volunteers, who were
scheduled to have their first full meeting on April 29.
•In what amounts to a bit of financial housekeeping, finance director Steffan Klassen reported that he has been informed that the town cannot use gas tax funds for infrastructure improve-ments that are not contracted out unless specific approval is pro-vided by the federal government.
No change will result in town projects or the overall budget, Klassen said.
•Council gave staff the go-ahead to process a development variance permit application for 713 Cavell Street. The Creston Seventh-day Adventist Church proposes to add a storage room to the back of the building, which would encroach slightly onto the three-metre setback requirement.
•A $1,000 contribution from the Community Development Fund will be made toward costs of hosting the 2015 ISPS Handa Canadian Blind Golf Championships at the Creston Golf Club.
•A discretionary grant of $500 was approved to assist the Lower Kootenay Band’s expenses for the 25th annual Yaqan Nukiy Powwow in May.
•The Millennium Park adja-cent properties will once again be used for an annual automo-tive swap meet on Aug. 29.
•A three-year license of occu-pation will be provided to the Creston Valley Food Action Coalition to continue to operate the Creston Valley Farmers’ Market on town property on Cook Street from May 1-Sept. 30.
•Town staff will prepare a report for council about the ramifications of extending a revitalization tax exemption for the downtown area.
•Bylaws to set tax rates, adopt the five-year financial plan, define property mainte-nance requirements and define bylaw notice enforcement were passed.
•Police were called to Sixth Avenue North to assist emergency health services per-sonnel with a male who had passed out.
•An intoxicated male who was caus-ing a disturbance on 15th Avenue North
was arrested and held in police cells until sober. He was given a ticket for being drunk in public.
May 3•An intoxicated
female who fell down on Northwest Boulevard was taken to hospital by ambu-lance.
•A female motor-cyclist who mis-judged a turn on Highway 3A was
taken to hospital with an ankle injury.
•Investigation of a break-in to a cabin on Highway 3A will con-tinue when the owner can check and deter-mine if anything is missing.
•Police were called to a Third Avenue dispute between a male and female, but deter-mined no assault had taken place.

OPINION LINE
“We seem to be losing touch with civility and becoming increasingly self-absorbed and antisocial. Ironically, social media has allowed us greater communication with one another than ever before. No matter where we are in the world we can remain in contact with friends and family. Yet this connection is an iso-lated experience, lacking in true human connection. Walking along the busy street, it is rare to make eye contact with others. Sadly, people focus on their cellphones, texting and looking up briefly to ensure they are getting to where they need to be. Although virtual communica-tion has its benefit, it has come at a great cost. As a whole, we no longer pay attention to the needs of others. Therefore, meaningful interactions are rarely possible. However, when one pays attention to civility, by focusing on the needs of others before one’s self it is reassuring to see the positive effect it has on indi-viduals. As technology took over we too have become victims of its force.
“Our Grade 7 class has taken time to reflect on what our world might look like if we chose civility. We hope you will enjoy our drama-tization of this topic.”
With that introduction and invita-tion, I settled into my front row seat at the Prince Charles Theatre on Monday to see Tanya Poznikoff’s Grade 7 Adam Robertson Elementary School class present its view on civility in today’s world. I could hardly have not attended. My newspaper coverage last November after attending the class’s dress rehearsal of its Remembrance Day play was a hit with the students. Some said it was the highlight of their school year. Last week, Tanya gave me a heads up about this Focus on Youth presentation. Some of the students have asked if the newspa-per guy is going to come, she said.
So the newspaper guy was there, and he was impressed, entertained and encouraged to think about the play’s message. Our (and I am not excluding myself here) fascination/obsession
with technology does tempt us away from interpersonal contact.
Civility when my generation was growing up was a big deal. We were expected to say please and thank you, to address adults as Mr. and Mrs. (or even aunt and uncle for close family friends), to ask to be excused from the table and to not speak unless we were spoken to. But times change and some habits that were once second nature now seem archaic. I didn’t like the for-mality of addressing friends and acquaintances with Mr. and Mrs. and I didn’t demand it of my sons. And I certainly didn’t want them to only speak unless spoken to.
But they were expected to be polite and courteous and I doubt either one holds any resentment for the require-ment. Civility is a door opener to pos-itive human interaction and it’s worth the effort to pass on the necessary skills to our children.
Last month, when we visited New Orleans, we were surprised at the civility we routinely encoun-tered. Southern charm is not without its appeal. We came to expect to be greeted by people as they entered our elevator and it was an easy pat-tern to fall into. Canadians tend to be cool and quiet, happy to stand in solitude without acknowledging
those around us. But there is an undeniable sense of camaraderie that begins with a simple hello.
Civility is, at its simplest, thoughtfulness. It is considering the interests of others and weighing the impact of everything we do.
We were in Calgary on the week-end to celebrate the birthdays of our two youngest grandchildren. The highlight was not in seeing presents opened or candles blown out, but in the story our younger son related about our oldest granddaughter, who turns six in July.
At a recent birthday party Quinn and her little brother Wilson attend-ed, the kids all enjoyed playing in a large bouncy castle. Quinn has her own castle, which she got for her fourth birthday, and it has provided many happy hours of entertainment. But when her dad saw the same big-ger castle they had enjoyed at the party advertised on Kijiji, the online classified ad site, he called the owner to ask what kind of condition it was in, surprised to see the price set at only $100. It had been used only twice, he was told, and was pretty much like new. Ryan said he would probably buy it and would call back after talking to Quinn.
He told her about the deal and asked if she wanted him to buy it (he would, in turn, sell her smaller one). At first she liked the idea, but then hesitated. Why? “Because Isla really likes my bouncy castle.” Isla is her cousin, who celebrated her first birth-day this week. After a brief discus-sion, Quinn closed the issue with “No, I think I’ll stick with the one I have.”
It was a pretty civil decision. I think the ARES seventh grade class members would agree. I thank them for giving me another reason to think about this important subject. And I commend them for a job well done.

To the Editor:Canadian Jews claim the right to
criticize Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. On April 22, Sid Shniad of Independent Jewish Voices wrote an article titled “Organizations across Canada oppose government effort to criminalize criti-cism of Israel”.
Hopefully, enforcement of such a “crime” would not include disap-pearance to a torture camp. Such application to Canadian Jews would be ironic in the extreme. Perhaps it only remains for the pro-Netanyahu coalition in Ottawa to point out that Canadians must obey orders at all times.
So far, the only federal party to join this chorus of voices is the Green Party, to my knowledge. Although I do not support the global warming fraud sci-ence scam, I do think Elizabeth May offers some semblance of defence of constitutional government, however outmoded this might seem to decep-tion matrix believers.
If we aspire to be labelled “civi-lized”, we must defend the rights of all minorities while maintaining intol-erance for criminal impunity mafia monopolists, whether they are street hoods or the much more dangerous
traitors infiltrating governments. In my opinion, there are far too many warmonger politicians using past his-torical barbarism to justify future bar-barism, whatever false flag they hide under. Children have no choice in whose DNA they are related to. They all should have a reasonable chance for life in a live-and-let-live environ-ment rather than chaos based on indispensable people versus dispos-able people.
Robert BettsWest Creston
To the Editor:I live on Canyon Street near
Highway 21, where an empty lot is used by Maglio Installations as a dump site for the intersection project at Northwest Boulevard and Pine Street. Since the project began, myself and other residents in the neighborhood have had to listen to excessive noise coming from this lot.
Each day there are dump trucks, water trucks, loaders and other heavy equipment traveling to and from the lot via Canyon street, some-times upwards of 20 times per hour. When the vehicles reach the work-site, they back into the lot, emitting a
loud beeping sound, often several at a time.
This might not sound like a big deal, and it wouldn’t be if this only lasted a couple of days or a couple of weeks. However, this has already been going on for months, and it’s not scheduled to stop until the end of June.
According to WorkSafeBC, all equipment backing up at a work site must provide “a signal to people in the vicinity that, if practicable, is audi-ble above the ambient noise level in the workplace where the equipment is being used.”
The problem is, you can hear the beeping for at least a mile radius around the worksite, affecting dozens of homes in the community.
When I spoke to a representative at Maglio Installations, he informed me that they are using the lot at 101 Canyon St. because it’s close to the intersection and it’s the cheapest.
While this may be the case, it seems that the residents of Creston have been ignored when planning this project. I work from home, and the constant noise from this work site has cost me work, sleep and money.
The contractors aren’t breaking any laws or bylaws; however, I believe they have a moral obligation to consider the people who are impacted by a project of this dura-tion. The obvious solution is to move the worksite away from heavily pop-ulated areas to minimize the impact on residents.
I will be bringing this issue to Mayor Ron Toyota in order to discuss our options, and hopefully prevent this from happening again. If you have been affected negatively by this worksite or other noise pollution, I urge you to write letters or to speak to the local government.

This is my first opportunity to thank the people of Creston for their support at the polls last November. The past five months on council have been a sharp learning curve, especially for someone who has been out of school for over 40 years!
In the 1998 Creston Valley Restructure study, one of the recom-mendations was for a valley wide fire service. As someone said, every tree in B.C. is provided fire protection by the forest service but we can’t say the same for every home. The three valley fire departments are now working together with automatic aid. Creston Fire Rescue is also responding to the West Creston area, in addition to Erickson and the other areas it covers under contract. We are approaching service to nearly every home in our valley.
One of the items that we have recently been made aware of is the need for a new fire hall. In the early 1980s, Overwaitea Foods moved to its current location at the mall. This made its former store, which was built sometime in the 1950s, available.
Renovations were done and the Creston fire department moved into the converted supermarket in 1981.
A study was recently undertaken of the fire hall to investigate the viability of some necessary renovations. A number of structural deficiencies in the building were brought to light. There were no original engineered drawings when the store was reno-vated to a fire hall. The only drawings are a one-page pencil sketch done by the contractor.
What has changed in the past 30 years that makes the current hall inade-quate? Fire trucks have grown much larger. A 1980 fire truck would seem very small in comparison to the large diesel powered trucks of today. The height of the current hall limits the size and type of apparatus available to the fire service, as well.
In the past 30 years, the Creston fire department has expanded its services to the public. It now responds to road res-cue (Jaws of Life), medical first response, high angle rope rescue and environmen-tal response, to name a few. These extra services have necessitated additional equipment, larger vehicles and have caused the department to literally out-grow its space.
We also now have the work experi-ence program, where five firefighters are spending a year training in Creston. These people live in the fire hall and offer immediate response for our town and area.
The dangers and risks our firefight-ers incur have changed, as well. Years ago, the products of combustion con-
sisted primarily of carbon and carbon monoxide. Today, the combustion of plastics and synthetic materials pro-duce smoke contaminated with cya-nide, PCBs and various dioxins, along with other substances. Dioxin is a known human carcinogen and the most potent synthetic carcinogen ever tested in laboratory animals. Our fire-fighters need facilities to decontami-nate from these dangerous compounds and the current building lacks the space and facilities. It is a WorkSafeBC requirement that we provide showers for decontamination. Equipment and personal protective gear must also be cleaned and appropriate facilities need to be in place.
The exhaust from the vehicles should be contained and not allowed to infil-trate the rest of the building which isn’t the case, currently
The Workers Compensation Act now recognizes nine forms of cancer that can be classed as occupational diseases for firefighters. We as a com-munity have a duty to these volun-teers to protect them from these haz-ards as much as possible. Sadly, two of our former firefighters have, in recent years, been victims of these occupational cancers.
Our converted fire hall has served us well for nearly 35 years, but the build-ing no longer has the space or structure to house the equipment and facilities needed. It is probably time that we start consideration and discussion regarding replacement of this facility.

“Someone may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.”~ Carl W. Buccaner.
Our weekly sessions at TAPS for this new program is attended by people affected by memory changes and their family caregivers. We use “By Us for Us” Guides published through the University of Waterloo by the Murray Alzheimer Research and Education Program as points of discussion chosen by the participants. We’re offering a few ideas and resources for your information and family, friends and loved ones in these monthly columns and on the Valley Community Services website.
You don’t have to look very hard to find the flood of new information on the topic of ‘our brains’ available today. Memory changes may occur for a variety of reasons such as: stress, illness, drugs, aging and specific brain changes. If you or someone
you know is concerned, talking to your doctor about it will help clarify the situation. As ‘people affected by memory changes’ is the focus of our whole series, we’re exploring this from many angles for the purpose of building understanding and strategies.
Our ability to communicate and therefore how we feel and respond is affected by our ability to recall words, memories, meaning etc. The lost keys, eyeglasses, forgotten names…who among us hasn’t experienced this? And it is the fodder for many a joke! How we respond to these events can be stressful until we figure out how to work with it to our benefit.
Participants were interested this week in exploring the topic of nonverbal communication. We are designed to pick up and communicate with the world around us for many reasons, and we do so in
a variety of ways: verbal, non verbal, written and para-verbal (tone, pacing and volume). Think of all the ways we use our bodies to communicate subtle or overt messages, whether we’re on the sending or receiving side: nonverbal cues such as : thumbs up, smile, frown. It is good to remember also, that body language/ facial expression/tone/posture etc. can mean more than the words we use or hear.
Some helpful tactics might be: to write down things that you want to communicate say to a friend and you can refer to your notes to help recall them. Also, if you don’t understand what was communicated to you by someone, ask
them to repeat it. You can also ask the other person to slow down and/ or use shorter and simpler questions. As caregiver or friend, remember to consider these ideas in your style of communication. Utilizing simple notes posted in strategic spots are useful, such as a note saying “Keys?” posted at the apartment or house door.Quote: From http://brainxchange.ca/Public/Files/Behaviour/ShiftingFocusBooklet.aspxOngoing posts and further links can be found at http://www.valley.services following the links at Seniors Services to TAPS then to Moving Along Together.

Communication and Memory Changes
Well, ladies, the weather’s getting warmer, and you know what that means. Heaven knows you won’t be caught dead in a bikini with those flabby winter bodies! No, it’s either get a good beach body or spend this
summer in baggy T-shirts and sweats, thinking about how you failed to accomplish the one thing that deter-mines your value as a woman: a sexy body. Despicable.
Now that the sun’s out, you must remember that you’re a disgusting bag, so you must get yourself bikini-ready. Forget self-love and confi-dence, and get rid of that cellulite!
Nobody wants to see that flabby tummy, so make sure you spend your spring binge-exercising, feeling bad about yourself and buying lots of beauty and diet products. We’re here to tell you: no, fat girls are not allowed to be confident, and yes, the only way thin girls got thin was by buying a crap-ton of diet supplements and yoga mats. We’re here to sell you hap-piness and self-love for only $29.99!
But wait! You can get an extra dose of self-esteem to complete the Perfect Body-Perfect Life™ package
for only $12.99!No, the definition of a beach body
is not to “get your body and put it on a damn beach.” It means perfection. It means desirability. It does not mean unconditional self-love and security.
That’s simply ridiculous!Remember, nobody will like
you if your belly’s too round, skin is too pale or thighs are too thick. If your arm fat jiggles, I’m sorry, but you are the lowest form of human being and will not make it come Judgment Day. In fact, in the event of a zombie apocalypse, you will die first because you are so ugly.
No, you are not allowed to feel good about yourself when you don’t fit our perfect idea of a con-ventionally attractive woman. What kind of independent, self-confident, whole human being do you think you are?
So come on, feel awful about yourself and let your self-hatred fuel your need to buy crap that you don’t need, but will keep the con-sumerist toxic media wheel going. Go on, girl. Treat yourself.
Keep consuming our destructive popular garbage, keep hanging 90-pound models on your wall, keep aspiring for this unattainable, unrealistic image of happiness and perfection.
Summer’s almost here. Are you beach body ready?
LoRae Blackmore is in Grade 12 at Prince Charles Secondary School. The Teen Take is a column co-ordinated by Creston’s Teen Action Committee.
It has been an interesting past few weeks as we have had the Spring Trade Show (did you stop in and say hi to us?), the Community Directed Funds stake-holders forum to discuss the who,
why, what and how of some Columbia Basin Trust funds in our valley and, finally, the quilt show. Looking forward over the next number of weekends are the annu-al Canadian Rocky Mountain Cloggers conference, Creston Valley Bird Fest, martial arts con-vention, the Rotary WineArt event, Prince Charles Secondary School grad and triathlon. Wow! That just gets us into the first week in June.
I was cleaning up some paper-work on my desk the other day… OK, that’s a lie — I just rearrange and restack in my own particular method of horizontal filing. (I saw a quote by Albert Einstein the other day in which he said, “If a cluttered desk is a sign of a clut-tered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?”) Anyway, I came across some reference to that
famous book, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, and I couldn’t help but reflect how applicable the first rule is to the community complex. It simply states, “Share everything.”

tle? Hopefully they got pointed back in the right direction but we knew being in the sandbox was a privilege, not a right, and we quickly learned that we didn’t throw sand and everyone had a lot more fun when we shared.
While those days of the sand-box are long behind some of us, it is one of the more fitting analogies for society today. Our sandbox at the community complex includes both friends and strangers; strang-ers are friends you haven't yet had enough time to play with. Remember what Aristotle said: One hour of play tells you more about an individual than many hours of intellectual conversation. Find a stranger, play with him or her, and see a new friend emerge.
Our sandbox is big; the Creston room can hold 450 people (and has,
Neil OstafichukRules of the sandbox apply just as much to adult rec centre patrons as they do to kids in, well, the sandbox.
Sharing key to smooth rec centre experience
on occasion), the hockey arena is rated for 941 in the bleachers and 1,700 on the dry floor (there have been some massive grad ceremo-nies here), the fitness track is assessed at 100 patrons and the pool area can hold 237 swimmers and 50 spectators (and has a few times in the past five years) so can you imagine what it would be like if we couldn’t tolerate each other?
Somewhere in there, hopefully you start to learn the rules of the sandbox; wipe down the machine when you finish working out, skate with the flow of people, try to clean your feet when you come in, don’t jump in the lane where someone is swimming — there’s a pile of rules to learn and many of these are not instinctively learned just by walking through the front
doors of this place. That’s part of our job: gently indoctrinate on how to not throw sand or take someone’s toy, and boy, I’ll tell you, sometimes it seems that’s all we do all day, but in the end, the result is everyone has a lot more fun when we share.
Neil Ostafichuk is the recreation supervisor at the Creston and District Community Complex.

The first of four operas in Richard Wagner’s Ring Cycle was shown at the Creston Valley Public Library on April 30 when fans enjoyed Das Rheingold (The Rhine Gold). The gold is in the
river Rhine and is guarded by the Rhine maidens. Visual effects are amazing, so that the maidens really do appear to be swimming around underwater, and singing to boot.
Permission to show two operas in May rather than one
was requested to provide conti-nuity, and chief librarian Aaron Francis agreed.
On May 9, Die Walküre (The Valkyrie) will feature Gary Lakes and Jessye Norman, whose picture was featured in the April 23 Advance.
Winnie Klotz photoSiegfried Jerusalem in the title role of Richard Wagner’s Siegfried.
On May 30, the third opera, Siegfried, will be shown with Siegfried Jerusalem in the title role, and featuring Heinz Zednik as the cunning goldsmith, Mime.
Power struggles, intrigue, decep-tion, tragedy and joy — all are depicted in this long tale with libe-rettos and music written by Richard Wagner from 1850-1874. During the process, Wagner became short of
money. He took an involuntary 12-year break to complete two other money making operas.
The last three of these Metropolitan productions exceeds four hours, and show time has been moved to 6:30 p.m. The fourth opera of Der Ring des Nibelungens, Götterdämmerung (Twilight of the Gods), will be shown in June. As usual, all are welcome and there is no charge.

(MS) — Mother’s Day is the one day each year when men, women and children across the coun-try gather to honor the mothers in their lives. Though it can be challeng-ing to find new and unique ways to display your affection for Mom on Mother’s Day, rest assured that sometimes the sim-plest concepts are the ones mothers most appreciate. This year, look no further than the following ideas for some inspiration as you aim to make this Mother’s Day as special as possible for the mother or mothers in your life.• Give the gift of sweet treats. What better way to highlight mom’s sweet-ness than with some deli-cious treats made just for her? Whether you decide to whip up some home-made confections in the kitchen or visit a nearby store for something deca-dent, mom will no doubt appreciate the chance to indulge on her big day.• Make a meal to remem-ber. Mom deserves a night off from dinner detail, and while dining out is an option, a home-made meal may come across as more intimate and heartfelt. Thanks to kitchen appliances that make it easier than ever to prepare gourmet meals at home, you can now make restaurant-style meals in your kitchen without sac-rificing restaurant-quality taste. Pair the meal with her favorite wine and make sure you handle all the cleanup. While mom waits for din-ner to be served, a sooth-ing cup of tea can set the
tone for a relaxing eve-ning.• Plan a Mother’s Day picnic. Busy moms may look forward to a break from the bustle of daily routines. An afternoon picnicking outdoors can be the ideal way to enjoy a special Mother’s Day. Plan an easy menu of foods that have portabil-ity. A refreshing fruit salad can be kept cool for about 8 hours. If mom prefers pasta primavera, a thermal container can keep it warm and ready until it’s time to enjoy.Gifting is made easy when you tap into the things mom likes. TF155225

The Aboriginal education rooms at Creston Valley schools — and throughout the district — have been abuzz lately as students prepare for the fifth annual youth powwow.
The event featuring students from all over School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) runs at the Creston and District Community Complex (CDCC) on May 15, an opportunity for everyone in the community to watch and learn.
“It’s going to be a fun, lighthearted experi-ence,” said Josie Fullarton, Adam Robertson Elementary School’s Aboriginal education youth worker. “It’s just such a unique way to educate people in a very relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.”
The powwow runs in two two-hour ses-sions, with grand entry starting at 9:30 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. It will be hosted by MCs Ruben Little Head and Mike Sanchez, who will ensure the public know what’s going on, including when to remove hats or stop taking photos — two concerns, Fullarton said, that newcomers often have.
“We all have a role to play in educating about native culture,” said Fullarton.
About 700 students, or about 15 per cent, in SD8 self-identify as Aboriginal, and the vast
majority of those have been making regalia for the powwow as part of each school’s Aboriginal education program.
“The kids have been counting down the days,” said Danica Lee, the SD8 Aboriginal pro-gram co-ordinator.
The Kootenay Lake school district’s students will be joined by students from three or four other districts at the powwow, an event that started out much smaller, before outgrowing the Prince Charles Secondary School gymnasium and moving to the CDCC last year.
A youth drum group from Cranbrook will also take part in this year’s powwow.
“They have asked if this could be the very first powwow they drum at,” said Fullarton.
To have Aboriginal youth interested in their culture and wanting to participate is far different to Fullarton’s upbringing — when she was young, she would tell people she was Italian when questioned about her skin colour.
“These guys are so proud to be Aboriginal and self-identify,” she said. “I was so ashamed and these kids are so proud.”
As the powwow has grown in both size and popularity, the community has been quick to encourage that pride.
“The support we have is just phenomenal,” said Fullarton. “It’s coming from people who donate fabric and sewing machines and time.”
Even non-Aboriginal students are getting in on the preparation, helping their friends to make regalia for the powwow.
“It really brings everyone together,” said Lee.

Bridge is a beautiful mature tabby cat. He is very shy, but once he warms up to you, he just purrs and purrs. Like most mature cats, the shelter is a hard place to adapt to, so we fi gure most of his shyness is caused by the stress of the shelter, rather than it being a personality trait. If he had his own home, it wouldn't take long for him to open up.

BY LORNE ECKERSLEYAdvance Staff
Water: Who needs it? Norman Simmons, a retired logger who spent a half-century living in Wynndel, has been giving a lot of thought to the subject of water for much of his life.
Concerned at how climate change and events like forest fires can threat-en the Creston Valley water supply has pushed him to produce Water: Who Needs It?, a 50-page publication on the topic. The publication’s subtitle outlines his intentions: A short story about the past, present and future of water supply in the Creston Valley.
Simmons says there is much to learn from a devastating 1945 for-est fire that ripped through the Duck Creek watershed. It took decades for the source of water for much of Wynndel and its agricul-tural base to heal.
“In 1945 Duck Creek suffered such a devastating fire it was very nearly destroyed as a procreative resource,” Simmons writes in his introduction. “It nearly died and literally had to begin life again.
“In 1945 I was eight years old; I too was just getting started in life. Figuratively speaking, I could say that we, Duck Creek and I, grew up
together. Because of my years of intimacy with the creek I am aware of its history. A history that relates to the creek’s biodiversity … a history as it relates to the people of Wynndel. Wynndel, a community I called home for 62 years.”
Simmons’ descriptions of the Duck Creek fire, culled from inter-views and conversations over the years, make for a compelling read.
And he is convinced that Arrow Creek, supplier of water for Erickson and Creston, could meet the same fate. He also believes that the Arrow Creek will eventually not be able to meet the demands of the population and land that will increasingly be needed to grow fruit and vegetables to counteract the loss of imports from drought-riddled California.
A natural storyteller, Simmons’ accounts of local history make for a compelling read. The stories all
serve a purpose though. The current Creston resident wants to put dis-cussion on the table of a need to create a valleywide water system that will sustain residents and agri-cultural long into the future.
“I have provided copies of Water: Who Needs It? to local politicians, hoping that someone will pay atten-tion,” he said.
He is not a man who likes to point out a concern and then walk away, expecting others to come up with solutions. He offers many ideas, including a need to log selectively the old growth forest that comprises the Arrow Creek watershed. Fire hazards are great, he writes, and every effort needs to be made to reduce fuel on the forest floor and create access to allow for a quick and effective response to fires that will inevitably start.
Simmons also puts forth an argu-ment that the current focus on the Arrow Creek water supply is short-sighted and that the Goat River, up above Kitchener, is a more logical and reliable alternative. In Water: Who Needs It? Simmons has created an intensive overview of recent his-tory and how it relates to Creston Valley residents in 2015.

drivewayBy Ian Harwood The Walking Dead maybe just a TV show, but a
few of us do spend sleepless nights wondering if we should prepare for a zombie confrontation.Would you want to encounter them with a Toyota Prius plug in hybrid? – No insult intended but we’re talking about survival here!William Maizlin, the Canadian entrepreneur behind the Toronto-based Conquest Vehicles, has the perfect Zombie beater. His facility houses some of the best engineers, fabricators, and technicians in the country. They build the ultimate, fully armored, ultra-luxurious SUV called the Knight XV. This ‘xtreme’ vehicle is not just a survival vehicle but also an impressive high-end machine. It caters to some of the wealthiest people on the planet, who require all the comforts they are used too while knowing they will be protected on their way
to a family barbeque.There are two models to choose from, The Knight XV and the Evade, which is their latest offering. It offers that military look on the outside with limousine type seating on the inside. The seats are covered in Andrew Muirhead leather and can be adjusted to just about any position. Check out these interior features: wool carpet, slide out work stations, a centre console that holds an iPad, capable of controlling most of the vehicle features, suede headliner, sunroof, slide out drawer with glasses and your favourite tipple, Sony PlayStation, a humidor for cigars, and a 32-inch flat screen TV. The vehicle starts as a Ford F550 chassis. The cab is removed and the custom built exoskeleton is installed. Everything is custom-built, right down to the door handles, steering wheel and running boards, made from stainless steel and billet aluminum.
The armoured version has a V7 rating, meaning it can stop an armour-piercing bullet at close range and the undercarriage can survive a hand grenade explosion, perfect for traveling through downtown Vancouver at night. In case you are wondering who would buy such a vehicle: company CEOs wanting something different, automotive collectors, professional athletes. And that is just the North American market. There are orders from China, South Africa, and the Middle East. The Saudi Royal family bought one and had it air shipped costing 50K in transportation. The company’s goal is to increase production from 20 vehicles per year to 100. They have already secured a larger facility after five years in business. With a starting price of $579,000 US, I’m not sure how many Evades you will see on the streets of Vancouver. [email protected]
The perfect vehicle to confront the Walking Dead
By Leon Rochocco, Jr.
“Sex Sells” has long been a popular tenet in advertising.
And sex appeal has typically made it easier to sell cars. The movie industry has always favoured convertibles for their leading men and women, whether Carey Grant, Sophia Loren, Grace Kelly, Kevin Costner or Susan Sarandon.
Virtually any car becomes sexy when you chop the top, but I did say virtually. These five cars resist the glamour and glitz that often come with convertibles.
1985-1987 AMC Alliance Convertible: Built in the United States using a 1.7-litre engine and transmission from Renault, the Alliance was very much French in feeling. It was small, mundane in appearance and less than competitive against the best from Volkswagen, Toyota and Honda. It wasn’t cool with a roof and it didn’t get cooler without one. A good measure of its appeal then is its collectability and desirability now, which is nil.
1989 Yugo Cabriolet: The formula for the Yugo was simple and it was laughable. Buy a 20-year-old-design of a highly rust-prone Italian economy car, barely update it and ship it to America by the thousands. At first, people will buy a product that is vastly cheaper than the competition, but once the public finds out that
it is slow, unattractive, outdated, uncomfortable and minimally reliable, the charm leaves in a hurry. Did a convertible version help the image and dramatically boost the sales? Again, the answer was, “Not really,” a response that was reinforced by a price that was double the cost of the GV Plus hatchback, which had gained fuel injection and six horsepower.
1960-1963 Studebaker Lark VI Convertible: Solid, sensible and reliable all summed up Studebaker’s Lark. It was a good car without flash or panache, which had limited appeal to car-mad teens. There’s no question that lowering the top on the Lark made for a pleasant experience, but it didn’t change the status of this car from dud to stud when it came to sex appeal.
1908-1927 Model T Ford: Ford’s Tin Lizzie has always been rugged, reliable and in a class of its own. But sexy? Not likely. The roadster or touring car versions may be fun, simply because fun goes with open-air motoring like peanut butter goes with jelly. Sex appeal, though, simply isn’t part of the equation with this American icon, though the story would be very different if we were talking about a 1940 Ford Convertible Coupe.
1961-1963 Rambler American: The Rambler had to be one of the most sensible cars built in North America: properly engineered to conservative standards, with incredibly reliable straight-six engines and pricing within reach of middle class budgets. For 1961, the line offered a convertible and it was a lot like its sibling—
responsible, sturdy and dull. In appearance and performance, the new drop-top was essentially an open-air version of an orthopedic shoe. You know, the kind of show that Marilyn Monroe or Angelina Jolie would avoid like the plague. Even spraying pheromones on this car
wouldn’t give it an ounce of sex appeal.
