With the support of a majority of prop-erty owners representing more than half of the land in West Creston, certified fire protection for the area is one step closer to becoming a reality.
“What we are looking at now is taking the next steps in the process,” Regional District of Central Kootenay Area C direc-tor Larry Binks said on Tuesday.
“I now have a letter from the West Creston Fire Protection Society asking for a resolution to be put to the RDCK rural affairs committee. The committee then has the option of recommending the service to the full RDCK board.”
If approved by the RDCK board, the taxation bylaw necessary to provide fund-ing for fire protection service must be approved by the provincial government before it can be enacted.
“It’s the same as any other taxation bylaw,” Binks said. “There is a lengthy and thorough process before it can be put into place.”
Binks found himself in the eye of a storm of controversy in January when he extended his own deadline for gathering names on a petition requesting the service by two weeks.

With the recent retirement of Drs. Dave Catherall and Hardin Delafield, the
Creston Valley Health Working Group is helping to recruit dentists to the Creston Valley.
The group, sponsored by the Town of Creston and Regional District of Central Kootenay areas A, B and C, is responding to concerns of local citizens, with the support of all local dentists. Recruiting consultant Marilin States will be attending an upcoming dental conference to promote the Creston Valley as an excellent choice to practice dentistry.
With its successful history of recruiting fami-ly physicians, the group is optimistic that it can get the word out about Creston.

The Creston Valley Fall Fair Association is in need of new blood, president Randy Meyer
says. With some volunteers moving on due to their advancing age, and others uncertain if they will continue their commitments, Meyer said the annual event needs new faces if it is to continue its long history.
The group’s annual general meeting is sched-uled for 7 p.m. Feb. 6 at the College of the Rockies. Everyone — and we do mean everyone — is welcome.

Although now residing in Edmonton — not Creston, as last week’s press release by the
Sultans of String stated — cellist and current artistic director of the Symphony of the Kootenays Jeff Faragher is Nelson raised. Tonight, he will be in Creston for a special per-formance with the Sultans of String, presented by the Creston Concert Society.
Involved with many facets of music, Faragher enjoys getting his hands dirty with interests in classical, jazz, folk and Celtic, to name a few. Performing with various ensem-bles and working on his own projects, he fre-
quently tours the Kootenays, as well as regularly traveling throughout western Canada.
Faragher leaves no musical stone unturned in his pur-suit to excite and inspire. Moving audi-ences everywhere, he is constantly striving to bring performanc-es that entertain and inspire. As he is never stuck to one genre, you never know what to expect at a concert Faragher is involved in. One thing is for certain, you won’t regret coming out.
The show starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Prince Charles Theatre. Tickets are $22 for adults and $10 for students in advance, or $25/$12 at the door.

The recent mystery of untraceable 911 calls routed through the cellphone tower on Whimster Road might have been solved, Gollan said.
Police now believe that many of the calls were made by a developmentally delayed person who was being given old cellphones to play with by a care provider. That person, he said, was unaware that cellphones that are no longer tied to a ser-vice plan continue to be able to transmit 911 calls. The mystery was solved by an RCMP clerk, Gollan said.
“I don’t know how she figured it out, but it will save us a lot of time trying to track down where the calls came from,” he said.
Several calls were made last week before the discovery was made.
Police BeatCreston RCMP responded to 67 calls from Jan.

Only weeks after being artist of the year by the BC Wildlife Federation, Creston Valley’s Guy Hobbs has been added to the Ducks Unlimited Canada’s roster of artists.
Hobbs’ picture, Winter’s Wolf, was one of 15 artworks selected from more than 3,000 entries that will now be made into limited edition prints to raise funds DUC habitat conservation projects, research, education programs and public policy works.
“I’m very proud to be associated with Ducks Unlimited and to be able to support the great work they do,” Hobbs, a Lister resident, said after learning the news. “I was approached by them last year and asked to submit some of my work, but was very sur-prised to be selected, particularly given the huge number of entries they had this year. I sincerely wish them the very best with this years fundraising efforts and hope Winter’s Wolf will be productive for them.”
Each year, hundreds of artists sub-mit pieces on various subjects, includ-ing wildlife and landscapes, hoping to be included in DUC’s National Art Portfolio (NAP).
“Winter’s Wolf is a piece that means quite a bit to me as it is the first piece of wildlife art I’ve produced that I was truly and completely happy with,” Hobbs said. “It’s based on reference pho-tos of McKinley, the alpha male of the West Yellowstone Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Centre’s high country wolf pack. He is a very large wolf with unusual dark chocolate colouring, and the pictures were taken just after a rain shower. I particularly liked the ‘clumped’ texture this gave his fur and the expres-sion on his face really seemed to sum up his feelings about the weather.
“Seeing my work gaining national exposure and being displayed alongside pieces by artists such as Robert Bateman and Peter Steuart has been a huge confi-dence booster. My work has evolved a great deal in the last few years and I’m
excited to see what the future brings.”Winter’s Wolf is featured in the 2014
DUC calendar and limited edition prints will be used in various fundrais-ing efforts throughout the year.
“We are extremely impressed at the caliber of talent the NAP attracts and we’re honoured to feature such an out-standing group of artists again this year,” said Scott Baker, national man-ager of retail programs for DUC. “Our new uncategorized art category is giv-ing all artists — no matter what subjects they paint — the opportunity to be showcased, which in turn will attract new audiences to both the program and DUC. Each and every contributing NAP artist helps our organization grow year after year and their exceptional creativity furthers our efforts to protect marshes and ponds across Canada.”
From page 1While opponents of taxing for fire
protection accused him of manipu-lating the process, Binks said his intention was to ensure as many
property owners as possible had the opportunity to put their preference in writing.
“Under the process I wasn’t required to put an end date on the peti-
tion,” he said. “But I wanted a resolu-tion to the issue, one way or another.”
Binks said he intends to meet with the opponents in coming weeks to address their concerns.

A message from the Creston Valley Teachers’ Association
Dear parents,We work hard to give your children the best education possible. We celebrate with them when they master a new concept and help them think creatively when tackling a tricky problem. But standardized tests like the Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) in Grades 4 and 7 take away from those wonderful moments of learning.
The FSAs do not count for marks, create needless stress for students, are expensive, and the much-delayed results do not actively support your child’s progress. The data is also misused to rank schools, which puts pressure on teachers to teach to the test, instead of to students’ interests and needs. That’s why teachers in the Creston Valley recommend you send a letter to your school principal requesting that your child be exempted from the FSA.
Exempt your child from the FSA

Police news Seatbelt exemptions at an end
BY LORNE ECKERSLEYAdvance Staff
Drivers will no longer be able to apply to be exempted from wearing seatbelts after Feb. 26, Creston RCMP Staff Sgt. Bob Gollan said on Monday.
Until now, the Motor Vehicle Act had a provision allowing the superintendent of motor vehicles to exempt adults and children under the age of nine from wearing a seatbelt. The provision has been repealed.
Gollan said that people who had suffered back injuries and pregnant women were exam-ples of those who had received exemption. A fact sheet from the Ministry of Justice says the repeal of the exemption authority “is intended to increase public safety and to address con-cerns raised by the medical community.”
According to the Canadian Medical Association Driver’s Guide, “there are no medical circumstances that justify exemption from wearing a seat belt.”
Gollan said current exemption permits will be valid until their expiry date.

The Creston Valley Thunder Cats are moving closer to securing the top spot in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Eddie Mountain Division.
Two wins on the weekend brought their total points to 62, while the Fernie Ghostriders’ single win helped them edge one point ahead of the Kimberley Dynamiters, in third place with 47 points after two losses.
The weekend started with a 7-4 win over the visiting Ghostriders on Friday. Three goals, by Logan Styler, Maverick Lynes (power play) and Matti Jmaeff, gave the Thunder Cats a 3-1 lead by the end of the first period.
“That was one of our stronger first periods we’ve had in a while,” said head coach Josh Hepditch.
The second period started with a Fernie goal, but Creston pulled far-ther ahead with goals by Trevor Hanna, Connor Ward and Carson Cartwright.
“We set ourselves up quite nicely going into the third,” said Hepditch.
In the third period, Ward scored an unas-sisted goal at 13:23, but the Creston team rack-ing up 14 penalty min-utes allowed the Ghostriders to score two more goals after outshooting the Thunder Cats 17-8.
“Thankfully, we got out of it,” said Hepditch. “Obviously, we need to be disci-plined. We can’t be kill-ing 14 minutes, espe-cially in one period.”
He credited goal-tender Kyle Michalovsky with part of the team’s success — he stopped 38 Fernie shots — as well as the second line of Styler, Cartwright and Jmaeff, who earned 10 points between them.
On Saturday, the Thunder Cats visited the Castlegar Rebels, earning a 3-1 win to add a 10th game to their winning streak. It got off to a slow start,
however, with the Neil Murdoch Division’s third-place team out-shooting Creston 14-4 in the first period.
“We were a little bit intimidated, and back on our heels a little bit,” said Hepditch. “They’re a hard, intense team.”
Connor Kidd scored on a power play with 18 seconds left in the first period, with Jmaeff scoring in the second and Brandon Formosa scor-ing in the third before the Rebels answered back with a single goal.
“We kept getting better as the game went on,” said Hepditch. “I don’t think they had enough gas to keep up with us.”
On Tuesday, the Thunder Cats were scheduled to take on the Beaver Valley Nitehawks (details were unavailable at press time), and are visiting Fernie tonight, a game that will be well-fought, with both teams aiming for the division’s first place.
“They've been playing extremely well,” said Hepditch. “Last week-end, they played better than to allow seven goals.”

When I heard Summerland mayor Janet Perrino interviewed on CBC Radio a few weeks ago, I had different questions than the person she was talking to. I rarely think that the easy answers that she was providing tell the whole story.
The story revolved around a recent decision by Summerland’s city council to cut six employees from its payroll. Municipal adminis-trator Tom Day was reported in other sources as saying factors for the decision included the community’s slow growth rate in recent years, low reserve funds and a lack of pub-lic infrastructure projects. Council had voted not to fill three vacancies and some positions were eliminated.
Not surprisingly, the news story got the attention of many in this community and, no doubt, others around the province. After all, the “too much tax” mantra has been repeated ad nauseum since the Reagan era. There doesn’t seem to have been an equivalent reduction in the demand for services, though.
Curious about how Creston com-pares to Summerland, I did some checking. The Okanagan communi-ty, only a few minutes’ drive north of Penticton, has a population of just over 11,000, making it about double that of the town of Creston.
After staff reductions, Day said Summerland will have 13 manage-ment and exempt employees, 63 full-time employees, two temporary full-time employees and 10 part-time employees. That is a payroll of 88 and at least 80 full-time equivalents.
In Creston, as of last week, 34 full-time staff were on the payroll. It includes 10 management positions, a victim assistance employee (70 per cent of the costs coming from the province) and 22 union members. In addition, one person at town hall is hired on a term position. Creston’s town council is in the midst of 2014-15 budget discussions and these numbers do not reflect any potential changes that could arise.
The most notable difference in the Summerland reductions was reduc-ing management and union-exempt employees from 17 to 13. It’s easy to
fall in to a trap of simply arguing that Creston is management top-heavy. Our ratio of total staff to pop-ulation is approximately equivalent to that in Summerland, but 13 man-
agement positions there compared to 10 in Creston looks out of whack, doesn’t it?
The fact, though, is that while Summerland has double the number of people to provide services for, it very likely doesn’t provide a greater number of services. Departments such as public works, building ser-vices, engineering, planning fire pro-tection and waste water treatment, for instance, are pretty standard needs for municipalities of any size.
Keep in mind that municipalities really do operate under the thumb of the provincial government. Legislation restricts the ways in how municipalities can function. When local government passes a bylaw, for instance, it cannot be enacted until the province approves. A large part of a municipal manag-er’s workload is reporting to the provincial government and ensur-ing that the town or city operates within the myriad of regulations laid out by senior governments.
Creston, like most smaller com-munities, I would guess, requires that some managers carry out multi-ple duties. Town manager Lou Varela, for instance, is also a planner, work previously done by a member of the management team, who was not replaced when he left. The municipal services co-ordinator wears several hats.
One consideration for the ability of Summerland to reduce manage-ment numbers comes in Day’s state-ment that the town has “a lack of infrastructure projects.” It is entirely possible that some positions were created to oversee projects that are
now completed, making their posi-tions redundant.
It is impossible to compare tax-payer expectations for services in the two communities. But we do
know that we live in a town that ranks among the prov-ince’s lowest when it comes to family incomes and that our population is elderly compared with other com-munities. It is quite possible that the combination results in more demand for local services.
At the outset, I alluded to questions that weren’t
answered in Mayor Perrino’s inter-view. Some services previously pro-vided by management might be moved off the employee payroll and onto the expense sheet for consul-tants. So, when Perrino and Day speak about savings of about $500,000 a year in payroll costs, they aren’t acknowledging that the city could see a jump in consulting costs. For instance, it is entirely possible for a small community to function without an engineer on the payroll. The choice to have one on staff comes down to an analysis of whether it is more cost effective to hire one or to contract out engineer-ing services.
Eliminating a position does not guarantee savings for the taxpayer. And it likely takes a few years to determine whether the decision was fiscally responsible.
Is the Town of Creston over-staffed? That isn’t for me to decide because I am not in a position to assess the taxpayers’ demand for services, nor to judge whether sav-ings could be made by contracting out some work. But I do believe that the current town council members have not seemed to be free spenders, in my observation, and that they are continually trying to balance taxpay-er’s wants and needs with their abil-ity to pay. I would expect them to be interested in Summerland’s announcement and I don’t doubt for a moment that they want all the information available before decid-ing if it has application to our own community.

Living the Zen life is about a lot more than daily meditation and mindful living, although these things are important to a Zen prac-titioner. In addition to these activi-ties, Zen students learn and make their best effort to live by a code of ethics that is summarized in 16 precepts that define the essence of ethical behavior. Practicing these precepts at the Creston Zen Centre is an integral part of our Zen training and gives us an opportunity to consider how we can bring these precepts into our com-munity, our work and our family lives. The 16 precepts help create a supportive, conflict-free and safe environment for everyone. Every second year at the Creston zendo, I offer a special class in which we study these precepts. Since this is the year for that class offering, my next series of articles will be a study
of the 16 precepts of Soto Zen Buddhism.
The 16 Buddhist precepts are such an intimate part of Zen practice that they have traditionally been called
the “blood vein” of the lineage of teachers that began in the fourth cen-tury BC and extends through two and a half millenniums to the present day. These precepts can be under-stood and interpreted at many levels. They can be understood as supports for the practice of awakening from the conditioning that controls our
actions and responses, they can be seen as an arena of bringing the prac-tice of compassion into daily life or they can be understood as the natural outcomes of awakening itself.
However they are under-stood, they are the blood and bones of all Zen practice and no true practice can exist without them.
The precepts were devel-oped in response to incidents that occurred in the early Buddhist communities that resulted in disharmony, dis-sention and suffering. Whenever a squabble broke
out among the monks who travelled with the historical Buddha, the com-munity would meet and create an ethical guideline that would prevent the conflict from arising again. For this reason they are very practical and if followed, result in a harmoni-ous community.

From page 6While some are similar to the Ten
Commandments, they were not dictated from above or carved in stone by an external deity. Instead, they emerged from the deliberations of a community that was learning to live harmoniously.
The 16 precepts are as follows: 1) take refuge in Buddha, 2) take refuge
in dharma, 3) take refuge in sangha, 4) cease from harm, 5) do only good, 6) do good for others, 7) refrain from tak-ing life, 8) take only what is given, 9) do not misuse sexuality, 10) practice truthful communication, 11) refrain from intoxication, 12) refrain from lying, 13) do not praise self at the expense of others, 14) refrain from possessiveness, 15) do not harbour ill will, and 16) cultivate and encourage awakening.
This next series of articles will go into
detail on each one of these precepts.Suggested practice: During the next
two weeks, examine the code of ethics that guides your life. What are your core values? How do they express them-selves in your daily life?
Kuya Minogue is resident teacher at the Creston Zen Centre and will be offering classes on the 16 precepts of Soto Zen Buddhism at 7 p.m. on Thursday evenings from Feb. 27-April 17. For more informa-tion, visit www.zenwords.net or call her at 250-428-6500.

To the Editor:In June 2013, I had surgery to
remove a tumour at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital. I was quite dis-mayed to get back a pathology report of carcinoma (a.k.a. cancer). However, as a retired laboratory technologist, I felt the pathology report did not look right, and so I asked for a second opin-ion. My sample was sent to a specialist in Calgary.
After almost six months of frustra-tion and worry, I got the results back. It looks like the Cranbrook pathologist’s report was inaccurate, incomplete and totally misleading. The tumour turned out to be a benign adenoma. Yes, there is also cancer present unrelated to the tumour, but it is a variety that almost never causes problems, is often only diagnosed after death from other causes and requires observation but not treatment. The original report didn’t mention this!
Had I not requested that second opinion, I would have had to undergo a second surgery and/or a course of radiation treatment.
I strongly recommend that anyone who has testing to rule out cancer done at the Cranbrook hospital get a second opinion for the pathology report. It could help avoid further aggressive treatment or it could find the opposite, a missed cancer.
In these days of overworked medi-cal staff, there will be resistance to further testing. Do not be afraid to push for it. You are the one who has the biggest stake in these critical results.
Angelika Licktenfeld-TeedCreston
To the Editor:My generation and others before
have done unforgivable damage to our planet. We now have to ask the young people and support them to make the changes that will repair the damage and save our Earth for future generation.
By reelecting Stephen Harper, we Canadians have failed our responsibili-ty to hold the prime minister and his government accountable for the result-ing environmental damages to our sacred Earth, this wonderful creation that the Creator has so generously pro-
vided for us. Would not most religions of the world consider this a sin and humanists consider it neglecting com-mon sense?
We should have the right to a healthy environment enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms like 100 other countries have. Instead, the Harper government has gone the other way by chipping away environmental protection, research and many programs. They have muzzled government scientists, are dismantling environmental pro-tection legislation, obstructing, and threatening environmental education and advocacy efforts and much more. I have kept track of these “crimes against ecology”, as I would call them, and could not put that many pages into a letter to the editor.
But I still enter 2014 as an optimist, since many changes for the better are taken place all over the world.
Henry DahleCreston
To the Editor:Most of you lived through some
rough times in your life and can imag-ine the life of turmoil, anticipation and disappointment of your dear neigh-bours in West Creston just prior to the festive season, and quite a kick right after the New Year’s champagne bot-tles were cleared off the tables and hauled off for a refund. What a night-mare that was!
To me, it looks like every trick in the book was used to get the minimum votes required to get a petition certified and thus unveil a new treaty with the Town of Creston to protect us from fire, get access to rock-bottom (or at least, greatly reduced) insurance rates and so on. If only that was all — but the terri-ble nightmares and dreams I had were the worst of it.
Just picture waking up in sweat from a frightening dream and reading the results of a nationwide competi-tion for the friendliest place in Canada. We came in dead last! After our pleading and a recount, we still came in second-last, just before Toronto and Mayor Ford. How do we deserve that honour?
Well, we, like truly gullible little kids, believed in a promise kept, in democracy and an agreement. Instead, we got a so-called extension, dancing and obfuscation when trying to find out who posted the sign on community billboards, and a heavy-duty intense campaign of persuasion and pressure tactics by select agitators. My neigh-bour hates me, I in turn do not trust another one, and on and on it goes, all because a group of well-to-do gents
decided to rope us all in by hook or by crook.
The worst thing? I feel sad for the old-timers on fixed pensions and Old Age Security who have no place to run. Their placid, serene lives are in shambles, like after an earthquake. The cherry on the cake is that our leader had no spine, and gave in to pressure to betray his promise to start counting. Every explanation and defense of his action is simply a lie. I was around, you know!
Antonin VitamvasWest Creston
To the Editor:To the town councillors that want
the Creston Valley and beyond to once again be faced with the time change, I’d like to say no to that. Don’t bother with a vote because we already voted and said no.
In the next town election, council-lors, put the time change on your elec-tion platform. See if you get elected again.
Not changing the time is special to this valley. Go with it. Advertise in a good way. Don’t be negative. We have four beautiful seasons in this valley, and we couldn’t ask for any-thing better. No one has to go to bed when it is still light out, like the east, and no one has to go to work in the dark and come home in the dark like the west. We have the best time here in our valley.
I’d like to point out that Fort St. John, to the north, is in the same time zone as we are and doesn’t change, and way south, Arizona is the same time as we are and doesn’t change.

To the Editor:I should like to point something out
to those who would like daylight time in the mountain time zone here in Creston: In the winter for three months, we have the lights on at 8 a.m. whereas in Nelson they do not, so perhaps we should be in the Pacific time zone all year.

Whoa — it’s slippery-underfoot weather and now we dream of gardens again. Safety is a priority on everyone’s mind with navigating slippery steps, sidewalks and driveways. Thanks to the downtown businesses who take
care of their sidewalks and to the town for their efforts. At the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors (TAPS), we are fortunate to have our own buses and the BC Transit, which we work with, to pick up our seniors to come to the cen-ter for programs and also to travel around the community on errands and activities. Thanks to BC Transit driver Richard Chlopecki and TAPS driver Susan, who both take such good care of folks, making sure they get in and out of their destinations safely. This service means people can come out more often and more easily, unde-terred by floods, famine and pestilence — well, maybe that’s pushing it!
Last month, I mentioned our SchoolWorks program, where students are hired for work experience and learning skills. I missed a photo op yesterday when Jared Kuny our student was working with Irene, one of the volunteers, helping her set up her new com-puter. Irene was beaming at lunch, hardly able to contain her excitement of having taken a big step in her life — “This big,” she
said, throwing her arms out as wide as she could. She bought a computer after having lessons with Jared. Her family, she said, “are very proud of her.” Since Jared started, he has worked with other seniors on computer ques-
tions, in addition to easily becoming part of the team and welcomed by the seniors.
Weather notwithstanding, about 18 folks arrived at the centre last Thursday, stayed for lunch and then for a game of chair bocce. We have not yet filled the position left by Rosalie and her helper, Esther, and we also wish Ava well as she recovers from surgery. That’s a lot of hours and tasks to fill, and everyone is pitching in. Nicky, another student, is
reliably part of the kitchen and serving crew, Irene and a new client, Ethel, are helping and Bridget, Nellie and Susan are accommodating it all along with their other jobs, and so are our clients. It was a marvel of motion after lunch, as those who could pitched in to help each other, clear tables and get set up for the bocce game.
The Telus Community Ambassadors is an employee group that raises funds for commu-nity organizations in their area. TAPS, along with others over the years, have benefited from their efforts. One of their programs, Dollars for Doers, has just made a donation for TAPS. Terry Nowak, as the liaison between Telus ambassadors and the Krafty Kronys, is plan-ning a thank you event at TAPS in February. Also in February, we’ll be participating in Family Day, hosted by KES at Rotacrest Hall.
The job posting for the TAPS position is available through KES, or by calling 250-428-5547 for information. If you’re considering vol-unteering, there are many opportunities to share your skills, and you can contact TAPS at

It’s late January and mid-winter, but your yard doesn’t have to be blah! Design your garden to be an inspiration all year round. You don’t have to hire someone to do this. It is
very easy to see what it needs at this time of the year, as most of the foli-age has been stripped away. What is left is your garden’s structure. This includes but is not limited to solid objects like the pathways, the arbours, the trellises, stone walls, bird baths, statuary or even your garden’s hedges. At this time of year, they can really draw your eye.
Evergreen shrubs offer a wel-come addition to any landscape. In mid-winter, they become a design element in their own right. As I mentioned in my last column on the classical Chinese garden, rho-dodendrons, with their broad-leaved evergreen form, offer a soft smooth accent to the landscape. Bamboo, a semi-evergreen plant with a strong upright form, makes a great vertical accent. Holly and yew offer vibrant green colour to your winter landscape, as well as bright red berries. Compact forms can work well in many situations from ground covers to foundation plantings or even as a hedge or screen to hide unsightly views year-round. There are a number of other evergreen shrubs that can be used as focal points or general background. The cooler tempera-tures in winter often play with their foliage colour, turning greens to orangey red or blues to a purple hue. Often, interesting shapes are made even more spectacular when accented with a light snowfall.
Many perennials with great fall colour and shape retain their upright structure through winter if left alone. Autumn Joy sedum, rudbeckia and many grasses like the ever-popular feather reed grass add another element of interest to
your winter landscape. If need be, you can use these areas to pile snow and it won’t bother the plants’ structure next spring. Hydrangeas with their dried flow-
ers left on them work in much the same fashion as the herba-ceous perennials, except they have woody stem struc-ture that will require a little pruning come March.
Many deciduous shrubs offer interest-ing shapes or bright-
coloured berries. More common selections are plants like the high bush cranberry, dwarf mountain ash, wild roses or even the dwarf winged burning bush. Other plants you might consider are the native Oregon grape, with its powder blue berries, evergreen leaves and red-dish new growth. It has year-round appeal. Red osier dogwood comes in red-, purple-or even yellow-stemmed varieties. If you prune out the four-year-old stems every year, you are left with a well-behaved plant having fluorescent winter stem colour. Other winter interest plants include the purple-berried beauty berry and the pink-berried form of the snowberry, Marlene.
Perhaps one of the most interest-ing plants we can grow here is the witch hazel. I like a variety called Dianne. It has mid-winter flowers, red and yellow, and a compact form with a nice branching habit, leaves reminiscent of a hazelnut and awe-some fall colour. Harry Lauder’s walking stick is a contorted hazel-nut growing to about six feet tall in both sun or shade. There is a lot of seasonal interest here. Another exciting shrub for winter is the yucca in green or a variegated leaf. The spiky texture of its leaves makes it a real standout, almost tropical in look.
Regardless of the forms of the shrubs that you choose they will certainly accent the main structure of your garden. It is the perfect time of year to take a few pictures of your garden and think about what you would like to do with it in the spring.

gas pipeline right-of-way on the east side of the summit north of the highway. Before the last grade to the summit there is a pullout area with good access to the right-of-way. Here, slopes are much more gradual and one can enjoy, depending on conditions, trekking along in fresh pow-dery snow making one’s own trail or ski on a track already cut. Again, stay off of steep treeless or partially treed slopes at the west end of this area. A snowshoe trek of any length is possible just about any-where around Kootenay Pass or on the east side on side roads at lower elevations.
As with skiing, crusty snow conditions after a melt can make snowshoeing diffi-cult if not hazardous. Extensive use of an area, changes in temperature, snowfall, extensive cloud cover and wind can make either less ideal, but it’s still good exercise. Of course, dressing adequately accompa-nied by healthy food and warm water will make a world of difference. Of course, a world of difference can be made by anoth-er aspect. It is similar to putting good gas in the vehicle. We are usually pretty fussy about that!
One needs to be “tanking up” with efficient energy not just before the outing but consistently to get best lifelong results. The best and most energy-effi-cient foods are those that are plant based, raw or cooked, unrefined, not overly concentrated, in as natural a form as pos-sible and eaten in moderate amounts at appropriate times.

With the passing of January, I see an increase in activities in the way of hiking, walking and use of indoor activity facilities. There is no time like the present to com-bat the results of holiday deca-
dence. Don’t wait until spring! Do it now! Outdoor winter exer-cise may, in some instances, be a little more tricky than summer activities, but, hey, we don’t have the excuse of it being too hot.
Light snowfalls over the win-ter made walking and hiking reasonably easy. So far, even up to 3,500 feet the use of skis and snowshoes don’t really make travelling on foot much more efficient because the snow is hardly top-of-boot level. The use of snowshoes, right now, any-way, is an asset only in adding
weight to the feet, providing more exercise. Of course, way up there, snowshoes are certainly an advantage. You can go places you can’t otherwise easily go. Right now, down in the valley, 2,200 feet and below, use of skis and snowshoes is pretty much out of the question. But wait: We can still get a pile of snow. If a snowfall is powdery, one needs about eight inches of snow, over bare ground, to keep from bot-toming out.
With temperatures occasion-ally going above the freezing point during the day and below at night, patches of snow on trails and elsewhere have been turned into ice patches. Wearing ice grips or cleats is an absolute advantage. They give a person sure footing. However, some-times they come off in snow and finding them may mean retrac-ing one’s steps and that can be
quite time consum-ing. Some people have types that don’t come off so easily and others tie them over the boot so that they stay on or so that, at least, they still hang around even though they are off.
Forest service roads, at lower levels, like Bear and Huggard Creek, Mt. Thompson, Dodge Creek and others out Kitchener way, make great places for winter hiking. On some routes, snowmobile traffic can be fairly light and almost nil. In either case, a track has been made providing a solid base for walking or cross-country skiing, too, if there has been at least sev-eral inches of fresh snow. Fresh snow on an icy snowmobile track does wonders for cross-country and backcountry skiing.
Kootenay Pass is good for
cross-country skiing. People do a relaxed run along the backside of the lake or they ski up the old road to the Ripple Ridge Trail area. From there the road is level for approximately a mile. But on this run one can boil going up and freeze coming down. It is important to have layers to peel off to cool down or put on to warm up. A wet body doesn’t do well in a cold wind. For safety, do not attempt any treeless or partly treed slopes!
For some people, a better choice for skiing is on the hydro-
The sequence “little horn, judgment and then the king-dom” is given three times in Daniel 7 so God obviously wants us to take notice!
And letting the Bible explain itself, we read:
“This little horn had eyes like human eyes and a mouth that was boasting arrogantly. I watched as thrones were put in place and the Ancient One sat down to judge. His clothing was as white as snow, his hair like whitest wool. He sat on a fiery throne. … Millions of angels ministered to him, and a hundred mil-lion stood to attend him. Then the court began its session, and the books were opened. … I saw someone who looked like the Son of man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient One and was led into his presence. He was given authority, honor, and royal power over all the nations of the world, so that people of every race and nation and lan-guage would obey him. His rule is eternal — it will never end. His kingdom will never be
destroyed.” (Daniel 7:8-14)“As I watched, this horn was
waging war against the holy people and was defeating them, until the Ancient One came and judged the holy people of the Most High. Then the time
arrived for the holy people to take over the kingdom.” (Daniel 7:21, 22)
“This fourth beast is the fourth world power” — Roman — “that will rule the earth. … Its ten horns are ten kings that will rule that empire. Then another king will arise, differ-ent from the other ten, who will subdue three of them. He will defy the Most High and wear down the holy people of the Most High. He will try to change their times and laws,
and they will be placed under his control for a time, times, and half a time. But then the court will pass judgment, and all his power will be taken away and completely destroyed. Then the sovereign-
ty, power, and great-ness of all the king-doms under heaven will be given to the holy people of the Most High. They will rule forever, and all rulers will serve and obey them.” (Daniel 7:23-27)
We are living in the time of this “lit-tle horn” kingdom but the judgment has sat and soon God’s eternal king-dom of peace will
begin. Daniel teaches us that God is in control of events, even those that unfold today. And even if it does not turn out well for us personally, in the end, we who trust Christ, will be lovingly swept up into an “everlasting kingdom that shall not pass away.”
Next time, we will look at the “little horn” kingdom power.

From page 11Animal based foods are all-around ineffi-
cient sources of nourishment. They are more slowly assimilated, fostering an inefficient digestive system. It takes more energy to digest animal-based foods than plant-based foods.
An inefficient system, along with slow moving and oxygen deficient blood means weak cells. Weak cells are vulnerable to dis-ease. That is one reason we get sick. “We are what we eat.” Input equals output. Put good in and get good out. And, there is not much gained by putting good in to counteract the bad. Good, rich compost taken to the dump doesn’t make the dump better. The bad stuff in the dump makes the good stuff bad!
One, in the long run, to a large degree, pretty much negates exercise and all that nice fresh air by consuming animal-based foods. When one thinks about it, isn’t much of what we consume and what is available toxic waste? Healthy living, inclusive of exercise, is an all-encompassing practice. Reaching and maintaining a person’s own optimum is a total lifestyle, involving every aspect.
Now just don’t quit eating. When you leave out something unhealthy be sure you replace it with something healthy. Otherwise, you will be back where you started. Remember, eating healthy is natural, just like exercising. There is no time like the present to take off from what ever level you are at and make changes. How do you make a difference if you keep doing the same things? No matter who you are, what you do or what you are, it is one step at a time. Enjoy your hiking, your walking and your exercising even better!

COMMUNITY OF CRESTONARTS COUNCIL
Art in the Chamber and Art in the Library are starting the new year off with a kaleidoscope of colour and diver-sity and we invite everyone to visit each location to enjoy the art.
“Art Diversified” is the title of the Creston Valley Public Library display and visitors will understand why when they see the difference in styles of the two exhibiting artists. The subtle earth tones of Maggie Leal-Valias’s abstract artworks will catch imaginations and peak interest. Kim Cook’s realistic acryl-ics will delight the eye, as well as give enjoyment. This Art in the Library show runs through March 1, so stop by and check it out during library hours.
The Art in the Chamber display is called “Kaleidoscope” because of the wonderful variety of style and colour visitors will see. The work of seven art-ists will be exhibited in this show: Margaret Swetlishoff’s beach glass jew-elry, Win Dinn’s exquisite mixed media paintings, Kurtis Ladner’s colorful acrylics, Jenny Steenkamp’s vibrant oils, Darlene McDowell’s attractive waterco-lours, Carrie Lucas’s mysterious encaus-tic paintings and Val van der Poel’s variety pack of media and style. The Creston Valley Chamber of Commerce display is open during business hours through Feb. 28.
These community art displays are sponsored by the Community of Creston Arts Council, the Creston Valley Public Library and the Creston Chamber of Commerce. They are a wonderful way
for local artists to exhibit their art and for locals and visitors to see the abun-dance of talent that can be found in our beautiful valley. Take some time to stop in and look at each display.

Juno award winning singer-songwriter-gui-tarist extraordinaire Cara Luft is that rare artist steeped in folk and traditional roots music almost from birth yet willing to alter that fabric, stretch the boundaries, not afraid to bend genres and styles.
Joined by Creston Valley bluegrass singer-songwriter Elena Yeung, Luft will play at the Snoring Sasquatch on Feb. 6.
Luft’s much-anticipated third solo album, Darlingford — which will feature in her upcom-ing show — is a stunning new collection of songs drawn from her recent life experiences and informed throughout with her indomitably opti-mistic spirit and impeccable musical instincts. Recorded primarily in old wooden churches and home studios across the Canadian prairies, the album shines a bright light on Luft’s skill at turn-ing personal heartbreak into universal themes that resonate deeply with listeners.
Luft deserves her solid reputation as one of Canada’s finest live performers. Her engaging, down-home style comes wrapped in a warm and delicious sense of humour. A co-founder of folk trio, the Wailin’ Jennys, she was the spark behind the group. Her spirit and innate musicianship were instrumental in their rise to the forefront of the North American roots music scene.
Since leaving the trio, Luft has wowed audi-ences and critics across North America and Europe with her solo performances. There is nothing pretentious about her, and that sense of honesty, integrity, personality and spontaneity permeates and resonates throughout both her music and her live shows.
Released in November 2011, Dandelion showcases Yeung’s ability to once again capture the sound of the classic American folk song, beginning with familiar bluegrass themes but also exploring earlier influences including old-time piano waltzes and swing. In a dramatic departure from her typical bluegrass instrumentation, the track Gonna Build Me A Boat follows the tradition of the negro spiritual, sung a cap-pella with the Persuasions. Playful themes of a rural childhood, accom-panied by infectious sing-along mel-
odies strike a chord with listeners of all ages.
Yeung will be joined by Karl Sommerfeld on fiddle and vocals, presenting an energetic fiddle/banjo duo including a sample of traditional instrumental pieces. Steve Jones (bass) and Keith Larsen (guitar, vocals) complete the full band lineup.
Tickets are $15 in advance, avail-able at Kingfisher Used Books, Black Bear Books and Buffalo Trails Coffee House, and $18 at the door, which opens at 6 p.m.; the show starts at 7.

songwriter Cara Luft for concert
When you first listen to Yeung perform, you’ll probably wonder from which old folk record or songbook she dug her repertoire. She taps into timeless themes of the human condition, echoing the roots of folk, bluegrass and mountain tradi-tions while emphasizing her driving banjo style.
Born and raised in the farming community of Carberry, Man., by immigrant parents from Hong Kong, Yeung wandered across Canada over the past decade, living in Regina, Sask., Kingston, Ont., St. John’s, N.L., and even briefly in Inuvik, N.W.T., before settling most recently in Lister, in an old farmhouse with the howl of the coyotes and the occasional ghost story to keep her company.
Following the 2008 release of The Gravedigger’s Daughter, Yeung toured across Canada and has performed at Dawson City Music Festival, Coombs Bluegrass Festival, Kaslo Jazz Etc. Festival, the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival and, most recently, the Lunenberg Folk Harbour Festival.

Drives-U-CrazyRoundabout rebelsMy peeve is people who “crash” thru a roundabout, writes reader John Haygarth.Approaching one, you slow down and look left. If someone is already in, let them continue. Do not “cut” them off as many do here in Penticton. Before reaching your exit, you signal right to let others know they can enter. They are a great way to filter traffic different ways without traffic lights and if used correctly can actually speed up your trip.
One bad Durango in a good wayThe 2014 Dodge Durango test truck was the perfect Christmas treat.This is the perfect kind of vehicle to have when you need to cart around extra kids and family from events like skating parties to Christmas dinners to anything else that needs getting done over the festive season. With three rows of seats and seating for six or seven passengers, the Durango is a large comfortable vehicle for any large family or a family of four that needs to take extra people to soccer or hockey practice. The Durango tester was the top of line Citadel model with a beau-tiful two-tine interior, large polished wheels and classy looking grille. It was not fitted with winter tires but we had no skiing plans, plus all Durango models come with AWD as standard equipment.
LooksI can’t remember the last time a large SUV turned heads but this model had passersby, friends, and family all taking notice. Several neighbours commented on the stylish “racetrack” rear light bar that has migrated from the Dodge Dart and Charger sedans to this big SUV for 2014. Because of standard AWD and other packaging changes, the starting price is higher than direct competitors, the Ford Explorer or Nissan Pathfind-er. Both those vehicles have a base model that starts around $30,000, the Durango, in contrast, starts at $39,995 and tops out at $51,995. This Citadel model, with options, is over $60,000. The base model comes nicely equipped with 18-inch wheels, keyless entry and
Bluetooth streaming to name a few. Dodge be-lieves the $43,995 Limited model will be the volume seller thanks to a backup camera with sensors, heated seats over the first two rows and a higher level of interior trim.
InsideUpdates to the interior for 2014 include a new steering wheel that con-trols two new screens on the dash. The first is the intuitive and very quick uConnect screen in the centre of the console. All Durango models, except this top Citadel, get a 5-inch unit; this trim gets the 8.3-inch version, which is too bad. The second screen is embedded in the instrument cluster and can be custom-ized. I tried my hand at this but never really mastered it. The biggest selling point for the Durango is the amount of space it offers over three rows for 6 or 7 passengers. My youngest son loved climbing into the third row and could actually stretch out. I even tried it out and can report that adults have plenty of room in any seat. The Citadel model came equipped with a stun-ning two-tone interior featuring black carpets and tan seats. This contrast won over my wife who wouldn’t have looked twice at a Durango but after the first week she admitted how much she enjoyed the experience. If you
take extra passengers regularly, I would opt for the less expensive bench seat that allows room for 7 people inside.
DriveThe big update for 2014 is the introduction of an 8-speed automatic trans-mission to help limit the amount of fuel this big rig uses. When matched to the base 290hp 3.6L V6 the official fuel rating is 12.4L/100km in the city and 8.3L on the highway. The optional 5.7L V8 with 360hp uses much more fuel and is rated at 15.6L/100km in the city and 9.1L on the
highway. Over two weeks, in almost 100 per cent city drivin and short trips, I used a whopping 20L/100 in the city. If the Durango were allowed to stretch its legs on the open road that number would have been much better. Handling
is first rate thanks to a Mercedes-Benz derived platform (GL-Class). There is a good amount of road feel but bigger bumps are eaten up with no fuss.
VerdictThis latest Durango is yet another ex-ample of what Chrysler is doing right. It is loaded with the latest technology, has a class leading 8-speed automatic, attitude and room to spare. I enjoyed my entire time with it and so did the rest of the family, we even gave it a name, “The Badongo” I don’t know why, but it really is one Bad Durango. If I can read the tea leaves for a moment, I would bet the EcoDiesel will be com-ing to the Durango, hopefully sooner rather then better.

Classic car TV stars when the Big Three ruled TVBy Rob Sass
Viewed through the lens of the passage of 40 or 50 years, our favorite classic TV shows seem to have been full of great classic cars.
Of course, they were all just new cars then and their presence on our favor-ite shows was no accident. It was the dawn of the product-placement era. In those days, the Big Three got near-exclusive sponsorships on the shows plus a credit at the end:
•“The Rockford Files”: Private eye Rockford, played by James Garner, almost never used a gun. He did use a gold Pontiac Firebird. Frequent con-tinuity errors meant that Rockford could be seen driving several different years of mid-’70s Firebirds in one scene.
•“Green Acres”: One of CBS’s hit “rural shows,” “Green Acres” was a Ford
show, and the cars that received most of the screen time were a series of 1965-67 Lincoln Continental convertibles driven by cranky Oliver Doug-las (played by Eddie Albert). •“Charlie’s Angels”: Every adolescent boy’s favorite show. Two of the Angels drove a Mustang II — Farrah Fawcett’s character, Jill, drove what passed for a Cobra in those days — and ironical-ly, the brainy Angel, Sabrina, actually drove a Pinto.
•“The Beverly Hillbillies”: Chrysler Corporation supplied the vehicles. The snobby Drysdales, a wealthy banking family, could usually be seen in a top-of-the-line Imperial, and Milburn Drysdale’s long-suffering assistant, Jane Hathaway, usually drove a Dodge Coronet or a Plymouth Fury convertible.
•“Bewitched”: with tons of Camaros, Caprices and even Corvairs appear-ing over the show’s long run. But the guy with the wife who could twitch her nose and conjure up any car he wanted rarely had the coolest ride on the show. Nope, it was Darrin Stephens’ boss, Larry Tate, who often showed up in a new Corvette convertible.

Shane Philip doesn’t like to refer to himself as a one-man band.
“I don’t like to call myself a one-man band because people think of the old guy with the cymbals between his knees and the monkey,” he said. “I’m just a songwriter who happens to express myself with a bunch of different instruments at the same time.”
Philip was born in Toronto, grew up in Ottawa, and went to university in Thunder Bay, Ont. But if you ask him where he feels most at home, and where he imagines he’ll stay for the rest of his life, he’ll say without hesita-tion the West Coast.
“When I go to play in Toronto, where I’m from, they tag me as a West Coast guy,” Philip said with a laugh.
The rootsy singer-songwriter — who plays at the Snoring Sasquatch on Jan. 30 — moved with his girlfriend and their three-year-old son to Courtenay from Quadra Island last year, a switch that paid off handsomely for Philip —in terms of his state of mind, the move to the Comox Valley has left him more refreshed than ever.
“I wanted to find a place where the mountains met the sea,” he said. “That was my dream. I was always attracted to
mountains, and always wanted to be by the ocean. There was always this pull to come out west. Once I got out here, I couldn’t go back. That was the end of it.”
Philip’s journey to this point has been adventurous, to say the least.
He has lived in Banff, 100 Mile House, Smithers, Gold River, Campbell River, Nanaimo and Ladysmith, among other locales. He raced competitively at the provincial level as a cross-coun-try skier for 10 years, but eventu-ally he grew tired of competing.
“I realized being 30 seconds faster than the next guy on that particular day, and then having him be 30 seconds faster than me the next week, didn’t mean any-thing,” he said. “I needed more.”
He took up teaching, and began playing music on the side, often for his students. But cre-atively he felt stifled. He soon realized teaching wasn’t for the long-term. Free from the daily grind, he dove into music full-time and recorded his debut, 2005’s Om Cooking.
“It was a real snap decision,” Philip said. “I made it overnight. It was the first career decision I made that wasn’t influenced by how much money I would make. I did it trusting that money would follow, that I would be able to make a living doing it. I’ve never really been interested
in trying to get rich, I just want to make a living.”
He released his second record-ing, Earthshake, in 2006, followed by his third effort, In the Moment, in 2008.
Barring vast changes to his setup, he will always be known as the guy with the vast artistic arsenal.
“I do have a lot of junk with me,” he said of his cache of instruments, which evolves on a regular basis. “I’m the equivalent of a five-piece band, in terms of the gear that I have. There’s a lot going on.”
Advance tickets are $12 at Black Bear Books, Buffalo Trails Coffee House and Kingfisher Used Books, and $15 at the door, which opens at 6 p.m.; the show begins at 7.

Where EmployersMeet Employees!
BY LUANNE ARMSTRONG
I walked out one day this sum-mer to turn off an irrigation valve in the hayfield. I knelt down, turned off the valve and straight-ened up again. I knelt down again just to check that I could do this. That was the first time I had knelt without pain for 15 years.
I have now been riding at the Creston and District Society for Community Living’s Therapeutic Riding Program (TRP) for three years. I started because all my joints were crippled and stiff from rheumatoid arthritis. Then I had two car accidents but I kept riding. Riding keeps me focused. I drive better after I ride. I think better. I walk straighter.
Everything at the therapeutic riding centre is well-organized. Christine Ross, my riding teacher says, “I look for two things, safety and enjoyment.” And she does. She notices everything. Checks everything. So riders at TRP can relax because they are safe and they can relax into pure concen-tration and enjoyment. The horses take their job seriously as well, they take care with their riders and they like to know they have done a good job. Each of the horses is an individual and each has his or her quirks and person-ality traits and they are matched with their riders accordingly.
The horses at the centre are carefully picked for their tem-perament, character and confor-mation. They must be in good shape, because they work hard, they must really like people, they must be gentle and well trained and, even so, it takes them about three years to really learn their jobs and adjust to the demands of working with so many different people with different physical and emotional abilities.
The horse I ride was given to me by my sister, who is a magic horse whisperer rider and a train-er, and is also the farrier for the Therapeutic Riding Program. She rescued him from a situation where no one had noticed him because he has an ugly head and neck. No one had noticed his
strong body, his kind face, his need for warmth and attention. Whenever I get off him, he puts his head in my chest, wanting approval, wanting to know he’s done a good job. He and I are now in training to compete nationally as a para-equestrian dressage team. One judge was kind enough to call us “talented.”
Creston is extremely fortunate not only in the depth and strength and education of the riding instructors but in the number and skill of the volunteers that give their time and energy to the TRP. Some of the volunteers are also riders. Some are skilled horse people. Some lead horses. Some build pens and shelters. Some donate hay. Some merely come to take a favourite horse for a walk. Some people come because they love horses. And people. And children. There are so many ways to volunteer at TRP. When a child or adult with a disability is riding, they often require people to walk both beside them and to lead the horse. Many people begin riding with help and graduate to riding on their own. People cheerfully clean pens. Or saddle horses.
One of the truly amazing things to watch at TRP is the transformation that happens as people begin to bond with the horses, as their bodies strengthen, as they realize that they can ride on their own, as they straighten up, as their core muscles strength-en, as they get off a horse smiling and laughing, as such a simple thing as riding teaches them inde-pendence and confidence.
For example, Barbara West began initially volunteering at TRP because of an interest in working with children. She knew nothing about horses but she was attracted by the kind of joy she saw in the kids at TRP. Then she started rid-ing herself, initially to help with her own balance issues caused by multiple sclerosis. She says she was “stunned” by how much rid-ing unlocked frozen muscles in her body. As therapy, she practiced “centred” riding, which includes breathing and relaxation exercises.
She began to realize how much the horse was a partner in her therapy.
“This was a huge shift for me.” she said.
Now she combines riding les-sons, therapeutic riding and vol-unteer work.
“It’s such a whole picture,” she said. “It’s about normalizing disability, building on strength, trusting the wider community. TRP is about trust, joy, encour-agement, and excellence.”
Michelle Whiteaway is one of the people who makes things work at TRP. While her official title is program director, she is also an instructor with the program, and she is also the person who is around when a horse or a rider needs something. Michelle is the person hauling hay, hauling poop, smiling, giving directions and in general making things work well, making everyone, horses and peo-ple, feel safe and happy.
Christine Ross, who is the head instructor and my teacher,
has a knack for telling me just the right amount of information in each lesson so that each time I ride, both Caraigh and I learn one new thing. I was nervous when I started riding. I hadn’t been on a horse for years. I was tense and stiff and sore. Christine made me feel safe so that I could take joy in each ride.
Christine, who works as an architect in her other life, began teaching at the Therapeutic Riding Program as a way of using her riding instructor’s skills. She said it “blew me away” how much joy students took in their riding and how much prog-ress people make.
TRP has four other highly qualified instructors as well: Peggy Hawes, Judine Maki, Shayla Leacock and Avis Hutchinson. It is absolutely astonishing to find this depth and level of qualification in ther-apeutic riding instructors outside the lower mainland. In addition,
TRP has about 40 volunteers who volunteer in all different aspects of the program.
But for me, riding is more than exercise, more than therapy, more than competition, more than enjoyment. Riding, done well, for me, becomes something beautiful, a connection between my horse and myself, a balanced and myste-rious beauty, where time slows and holds its breath, where my horse and I are suspended within a bubble of concentration, all of my body connected to his, listen-ing to each other, moving in a perfect balance, an art of pitch perfect performance that falls apart even as we achieve it. I can’t imagine my life without it.
The Therapeutic Riding Program is hosting its annual Art Trot fundraiser at the Creston and District Community Complex on Feb. 7 and 8. For more information about the program, call Michelle Whiteaway at 250-402-6793 or visit cdscl.com/trp.htm.

The Prince Charles Secondary School Comets ride a six-game winning streak into their home basketball tournament this weekend.
The senior boys’ team, fresh off its second-straight champion-ship in Kimberley, seeks to make it three titles in a row Friday and Saturday when Stanley Humphries of Castlegar, Fernie and Nakusp come to town.
The Comets swept three games in Kimberley on Jan. 17 and 18 after doing the same in their last action before the Christmas break, Dec. 13 and 14 at Mt. Sentinel in South Slocan.
Their only losses of the 2013-14 season came in their first tour-nament, when they dropped three games at David Thompson in Invermere while playing short-handed.
“The first tourney all the Grade 12s were at the provincials for volleyball, every single one of them,” said Mike Poznikoff, who coaches the Comets with Doug Dortman. “They had to bring up a couple juniors.”
Their closest defeat that week-end was by a single point to Selkirk of Kimberley, which they handled by double digits with a full squad this month. Riley Hills, whom Poznikoff called a “defensive juggernaut,” was the team’s player-of-the-game.
PCSS also thumped Mount Baker of Cranbrook in Kimberley, led by another Grade 12 student, Brayden Czar, who “ended up being one of our higher scorers,” Poznikoff said. “He got fired up early and kept it going.”
The championship game against Osoyoos was a 98-48 blowout in which a Grade 11 stu-dent, Donovan Osterreicher, earned top player honours after coming off the bench to net a dozen points.
“He’s our sixth man,” Poznikoff said. “The time we had him on the floor he produced some good numbers.”
Overall, the Comets rely more on speed than size to dominate opponents, who are falling by an average of more than 20 points.
“The quickness of the team is what caught the other teams off guard,” the coach said. “The abil-ity to defend and the transition to score was really quick, which allowed for a lot of fast breaks.”
Kieran Poznikoff, Dean Torgrimson, Jared Kuny, Peter Tarrant and Isaac Janzen are the other Grade 12 players, with Grade 11 students Mitchell Bell and Sunny and Jarret Oler round-ing out the lineup.
At Mt. Sentinel they ran the table against a Kamloops private school, J.L. Crowe of Trail and Grand Forks, with the closest margin of victory 20-plus and the largest pushing 50.
Indeed, it’s “definitely (been) a big turnaround over the season,” according to Poznikoff, who is looking forward to meeting a cou-ple of teams for the first time this weekend, Castlegar and Nakusp.
He said the Comets’ good
chemistry stems from many of the older players having been teammates on not only PCSS bas-ketball but volleyball and soccer teams over the years.
The boys play at Fernie on Feb. 14 and 15 and in the East
Kootenay championships in Golden the following weekend, with a berth in the March 5-8 provincials on the line.
PCSS senior girls, meanwhile, host Nakusp, Selkirk and Bonners Ferry, Idaho, this weekend.
