The explosion of two apparently homemade bombs early on Sunday morning have local officials concerned for the safety of their maker — possibly a youngster — and the public.

Emergency responders to a 3 a.m. 911 call for what residents in the 1200 block of Birch Street thought was a car fire. Instead, they found remnants of a crude bomb on the front lawn of a residence. A second explosion occurred in the 400 block of Ninth Avenue North.

“This kind of device could easily seri-ously injure or end a life if you are within close proximity of it going off.” Creston Fire Rescue deputy fire chief Michael Moore said on Monday. “It is very fortu-nate that this device did not end up next to the home causing a structure fire or worse injuring someone. I don’t think that the person who built this realizes the incredi-ble damage that this could have caused to someone, including themselves.”

RCMP staff sergeant Gord Stewart echoed Moore’s concerns.

“This sort of device can cause tremen-dous damage and possible fatalities, and we are asking anyone with knowledge of who built or set off the device to call the RCMP (250-428-9313) or Crime Stoppers (1-800-222-8477).”

Frank Goodsir photoAROUND THEY GO — Participants, including young honorary chair Chloe Davidson, make their way through Millennium Park during the survivors’ lap of the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life, which ran on Saturday. Eleven teams and 300 people took part in the day’s events, which included live music and head shaving, as well as a can tab challenge (see page 2). Nearly $65,000 was raised, with the Purple Fionas, captained by Keisha Ringheim, being the team that earned the most, about $7,000.

The School District No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) board of trustees met May 31 with Creston town council and Regional District of Central Kootenay

directors John Kettle and Garry Jackman to discuss joint-use agree-ments, the Creston Education Centre and Prince Charles Theatre, among other issues.

“We really need to talk more,” school board chair Mel Joy said at the end of the

meeting. “I think that’s the big lesson from today.”

Jackman said one bone of contention, the lack of a joint-use agreement for rec-reation facilities in Creston, appears to have largely been solved.

The newest Art in the Library show

closes on June 11, and is called Carving and Photography, present-ing the works of three artists.

Photography: Laurie Boehmer was born and raised in Creston, and started painting at an early age under the direc-tion of her mother, Chris Herchmer. As well as painting, Boehmer has turned her talents to photog-raphy and this show

represents scenes of the valley

Photography: Alex King is drawn to scenes that are inter-esting, not necessari-ly beautiful in the traditional sense. She enjoys the challenge of low-tech photogra-phy where the imag-es are not digitally altered.

Carving: Michael Price is a North Coast native artist who started carving at a very young age. His carvings are done

with meticulous accuracy and atten-tion to detail, with a muted palette that respects the Kwakiutl tradition. He carves mostly in red and yellow cedar from old growth trees in the Pacific Northwest.

At the Canadian Cancer Society’s

Relay for Life on June 4, a weigh-in of can tabs was held, with a

good response despite short notice.

Elsie Neufeld came in second, with a donation of 400 grams, and Pat and Alan Chapman came in third, having col-lected 375 grams. Alicia Rogers and Louise Esch also con-tributed. As a thank you, each person will receive a reusable cancer logo carry bag.

The overall weight was 2,575 grams, thanks to a whop-ping 1,400 grams from an anonymous donor, who is asked to call Pat Chapman at 250-866-5564 to arrange to receive their prize.

If you are collecting tabs and didn’t make it down to the relay, collection jars are now at Pharmasave, Creston Valley Advance, the Trinity United Church, Adam Robertson Elementary School and the

Creston Golf Course restaurant.

The Davidson fam-ily will take all the tabs collected to Calgary’s Ronald McDonald House the next time they travel to Calgary. Ronald McDonald Houses can exchange the tabs for money, which helps to finance the operation of the houses.

Ever thought about dragging out

Grandpa’s old gramo-phone or phonograph and getting it work-ing?

“Now is the time,” said phonograph hobbyist Jason Smith, who is teaming up with a local eBay business. “I’ve had a lot of requests for parts over the years, including new belts and needles, and with the help of Mel’s Online Auctions, these parts

become easy to obtain.

“I deal in both types of machines — cylinder and disc. Even if you don’t need parts or repairs for your machine, bring it down or just bring a picture of it. It’s always fun to see what’s in people’s col-lections.”

Smith will be avail-able at the Snoring Saquatch from 11 a.m.-7 p.m. on June 15 and 16.

Mel’s Online Auctions will be accepting items at the Sasquatch during the same hours. Owner Melanie Postnikoff will be there for a general appraisal and infor-mation on what her business does.

“I am excited to get going again and help people de-clutter their homes,” she said.

For more informa-tion, she can be reached at 250-254-EBAY (3229) or [email protected].

A 60th reunion of the old Creston

High School will be held on June 16 and 17, grad Chuck Truscott says.

“We were the last graduates before the new school was built,” he said.

The original high school was located where Adam Robertson Elementary School now sits.

“Of the 65 grads that year there were only 11 boys,” Truscott said. “We expect 26 will be attending of the 40 who are still alive. Ten of us still live here in Creston.”

A meet and greet is scheduled for Rotacrest Hall on June 16 from 1-4 p.m. for members of the public who would like to catch up with old friends.

Another trails project is now under construction. When complet-ed in three phases, a rough figure 8 will weave through the former Crestbrook Forest Industries prop-erty south of Cook Street.

“This project is a partnership of the Trails for Creston Valley Society, the Town of Creston and the Creston Rotary Club,” said Coun. Judy Gadicke.

The first phase, now underway, will start at Cedar Street and run along Dodd Creek to Ninth Avenue, where it will connect with town sidewalks.

The area was chosen for trails because construction will soon begin on a low-cost housing proj-ect, and several rental properties are also being built near Cedar Street.

“We want to encourage people to walk and this is already a popular area,” Gadicke said. “Another advantage is that all the property is owned by the Town of Creston, so we don’t have to work to get per-mission from private owners.”

The trail portion that runs along Dodd (also known locally as Dead Horse) Creek will be dedicated to the memory of Steve Hernandez, a town employee who died recently after a bicycle accident.

“The night before Steve’s acci-dent we had a trails committee meeting and he promoted that path as one of our projects,” she said. “He was really committed to our com-munity trails and loved to cycle along the creek. One person who walked it recently referred to the area as ‘Creston’s Central Park’. It’s a hidden gem.”

Gadicke said the new trail net-work will eventually include benches and picnic tables, and a series of exercise stations. Also being proposed is an off-leash dog park, something the town is lack-ing.

“Dog owners need a spot to exer-cise their dogs and a park would likely decrease the number of dogs on the trails,” she said.

An open house at Town Hall will soon be scheduled to allow residents to see the trail plans and ask ques-tions.

“We will also be scheduling work bee days for anyone who wants to volunteer,” she said. “A lot of people have been asking about how they can help out.”

Advance Staff

Creston and District Public Library patrons now have an out-door space to enjoy in good weather. The Lawrence Lavender Reading Garden has been con-structed to commemorate Lavender’s dedication to librar-ies.

Lavender passed away in January 2010 after a two-year bat-tle with cancer. He moved to Creston with his wife, Margaret, in 1967. He began as a teacher/librarian at Adam Robertson Elementary School and moved on to become district librarian, dis-trict resource co-ordinator and, finally, director of instruction for the school district before retiring in 1999.

In his retirement, Lavender continued his passion for libraries by serving as chair of the Creston library board. He also became president of both the B.C. and Canadian library trustees associa-tions.

The two-time Creston Rotary Club president also served on Creston town council, but he was

probably best known for his pas-sionate commitment to finding a new home for the library, which was then located in a one-time Jehovah Witness Kingdom Hall, below the grain elevators. He was preparing the library board to go to a second referendum to con-struct a new building when the former health unit building was made available. Lavender shifted gears and worked to make that building suitable for the collection and services the library now offers.

“This is a special day,” said Lorne Eckersley, a Creston Rotary Club member who emceed the garden’s official opening. “Lawrence Lavender had many passions — family, libraries, gar-dening and Rotary. I think this reading garden is a fitting tribute to great leader in our communi-ty.”

Among those attending the garden’s official opening were members of Lawrence and Margaret Lavender’s family, including son, Chris, daughter, Amy, and Lawrence’s twin broth-er, Leonard.

New trail project

underway

From page 1“It is my understanding that (Prince

Charles Secondary School principal) Sharen Popoff and (Creston and District Community Complex manager of recre-ation) Randy Fediuk have worked out the situation quite nicely,” he said. “What we probably should be doing is asking them to put whatever agreement they have made in writing so we can see it.”

Another controversial issue, the cost of operating Prince Charles Theatre, has not found a similar resolution. Last year, the Town of Creston and regional directors con-tributed $16,000 to offset rental charges after the school district announced it was raising fees to reflect the actual staffing costs.

While Kettle has argued that ongoing subsidization of the facility should not be taken on by taxpayers, Jackman took the opposite approach.

“The Prince Charles Theatre would suc-ceed with a far lower level of subsidies than the community complex, I’m sure,” he said. “Theatres in Cranbrook and Nelson are very well used and they get hefty sums from local government.”

Jackman said that to subsidize some leisure facilities and not others isn’t fair.

“Users of the swimming pool, for instance, pay only about a third of the operating costs — the rest is subsidized by taxes,” he said. “If we made the theatre into a service I doubt

it would cost much to ensure it’s affordable to community groups.”

Coun. Joanna Wilson, who represents town council on the Community Arts Council of Creston, said a survey conduct-ed last fall indicated strong local support for the theatre.

“Ninety per cent of those surveyed said they would pay higher taxes to ensure access to arts and culture facilities,” she said.

Prince Charles Theatre was constructed in part with community donations in the 1980s after Prince Charles Secondary School burned down. The donations were used to build a larger theatre than the one planned for, and to provide theatre seating. Later, a fundraising campaign allowed a concert grand piano to be purchased. While an agreement was signed between the school district and town to set rental rates annually, there appears to have been no written commitment to provide funding.

The recent lack of communication among local government officials and school board members became apparent when trustee Art Field said the school district was in the process of leasing the Kinsmen Park field to the local soccer association.

“Why isn’t the Town of Creston taking this on to co-ordinate all of its recreation facilities?” he asked.

Kettle expressed surprise that the lease was being negotiated because the Alex Nilsson Field at the community complex has always been rented out to soccer groups.

“When we lose renters for RDCK facili-ties it means the cost for other programs

has to go up,” he said.Discussion about the Creston Education

Centre, which houses a number of programs for pre-schoolers, Homelinks and some school district professionals, indicated that the possibility of closing the facility seems to have passed, at least in the near future.

Using the facility as a “neighbourhood learning centre” falls within the Ministry of Education’s mandate, Supt. Jeff Jones said.

“The Creston Education Centre is vital to this valley,” trustee Annette Hambler said. “The neighborhoods of learning approach that Jeff has worked on is really important to us.”

“The big concern is how the school dis-trict can work with the broader community to make the best use of the gym and fields,” Jones said.

The Town of Creston recently rejected a request by the school board to take over routine maintenance of the fields that sur-round Creston Education Centre.

Kettle reiterated a previous offer that the RDCK could purchase the building and grounds for a dollar and then lease por-tions back to the school district. His offer did not elicit any support from school board officials.

While no firm date was set to follow up last week’s meeting, there was agreement that regular communication is important. Kettle suggested that in September local school board trustees could begin quarterly meetings with the community services committee, which consists of the valley’s four regional directors.

From page 4•When police arrived at the

scene where a driver had hit a parked vehicle in the 300 block of 16th Avenue North, they found a 17-year-old who dis-played symptoms of having con-sumed alcohol.

Moore said information about how to build explosive device and videos of “stunts” involving their use is easily accessed on the Internet. While the vid-eos are often watched for their humor-ous results, he said their use is hardly amusing.

“Not funny at all,” he said. “This device could potentially carry shrap-nel at the speed of a bullet a few hun-dred feet. I don’t see any humour in this at all. I wonder how funny it

would be if the person doing this had hurt someone and faced serious crimi-nal charges.

“Also, this places responders at seri-ous risk as sometimes these devices don’t completely go off at once and pos-sibly exploding with the arrival of emer-gency responders.”

Also troubling has been a string of suspicious fires caused in Creston in the past month, starting with two small grass and brush fires, Moore said.

“These fires were in areas well known to have youth hanging out or walking through,” he said. “From all appearances, these have the makings of deliberately set fires. Then last weekend the small tool shed at the bike park goes up in flames and there is no other possible cause of the fire

related to this structure except inten-tionally set.

“As we head into summer where everything dries out, the individuals responsible for these fires may spark off something much larger than a small humorous prank. A devastating forest fire impacting the entire community isn’t out of the realm of possibility.”

Mayor Ron Toyota was reached in Halifax, where he is among 2,000 local government officials attending the annual Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference.

“We ask that people keep a vigilant watch out for suspicious activities,” he said. “Thankfully no one was hurt and there is minimal property damage, but certainly these kinds of events could lead to something much worse.”

It was the talk of the room at a wedding we attended in Calgary recently. The bride’s 70-ish aunt had been driving from her White Rock home to the wedding along the Yellowhead highway, apparently taking a scenic route. Just as she complet-ed a pass of a vehicle, a police car’s lights flashed and her travels took an unexpected turn.

She had been clocked on radar at a speed more than 40 kilometres over the posted limit. Although she had been speeding to get past a vehicle, she knew she had no defense, and that she was going to get a ticket. What she didn’t expect was to lose the use of her vehicle. The RCMP traffic services officer informed, as he wrote out the ticket, that her vehi-cle was being impounded for seven days.

“It wasn’t the vehicle’s fault,” she countered. “Can’t you just take my licence and let my friend drive?”

She had never had a traffic viola-tion ticket of any sort in her life.

“No,” was the officer’s response.While many, including me, were

quick to assume that this was an overzealous officer on a bit of an ego trip, it turns out that really isn’t the case.

When the new, harsher laws were introduced last fall, B.C. motor vehi-cles superintendent Serve Martin said that the anti-speeding measures are mandatory and traffic enforce-ment officers have no discretion in their use.

“You’re going to be stranded on the highway,” Martin warned speed-ers in a Vancouver Sun article. “If they’ve got their family in the car

and they’re heading up to the Okanagan for a long weekend on the Coquihalla, they’re still going to lose their car.”

And that’s probably the real

problem right there. Passengers, including babies in carseats, are being punished along with the driver. In the case of the bride’s aunt, she and her friend were able to ride along with the tow truck driver for the long drive into the nearest town, where they learned there was no vehicle rental centre — getting to Calgary involved a Greyhound bus ride, a night in a motel and a car rental. But tow trucks aren’t designed to haul peo-ple, and many drivers who put themselves into this position end up waiting for both a tow truck and a taxi.

I am not condoning travel at excessive speeds, but it’s easy to see how it happens. You are driving in a long line of vehicles, all of which are slowed by one or more recre-ation vehicles — or dawdling car drivers — going under the speed limit and hitting the brakes at even the gentlest bend in the road. Then, like magic, they speed up on every straightaway that comes along. You want to pass so that your frustra-tion level isn’t further tested, and so do the vehicles who are riding on your tail. Even if you are pass-

ing a single vehicle on a quiet high-way, the likelihood is that your pri-mary concern is to clear the vehicle as quickly as possible, return to the driving lane and get on with driv-

ing at the speed you are most comfortable with.

Last week, the mayor of Golden was on CBC Radio, talking about the unfairness of the impoundments, particu-larly because drivers entering the province haven’t the foggiest idea about the law. She advo-cates, at the very least,

posting signs warning about impoundments at highway entry points into B.C. Of course that wouldn’t help the rest of us who were unaware of the changes. Sure, the onus is on individuals to know the rules of the road, but is one expected to read the Motor Vehicle Act of each province to become aware of any rule differ-ences? And how would you know what to be looking for?

In the bride’s aunt’s case, her friend said the incident was going to end up costing $2,000 to $3,000. They hadn’t even checked the fine on the ticket before sticking in the glove box, but there is a tow truck charge, vehicle storage charge, the Greyhound tickets, motel room and a three-year ding ($320 annu-ally for first-time offenders) from ICBC.

My son, an RCMP officer in Alberta, was surprised to learn of the mandatory impoundment law.

“There isn’t a chance that would happen in Alberta,” he said.

Apparently we are more docile in British Columbia.

To the Editor:Gordon Ogilvie’s letter on the

losses of opportunities and freedoms blamed on the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area (“Unhappy with CVWMA”, May 19 Advance, page 7) fails to point to the big picture or place the blame where it belongs. One hundred years ago, there were 1,000 people in this valley surrounded by thousands of acres of marshes and millions of acres of wil-derness. Those pioneers proceeded to dike the marshes and road the wil-derness. They cleared the land and subdivided and made room for thou-sands more.

The pie is only so big, and getting smaller as resources diminish. Increasing populations and demand for “stuff” just makes every piece of pie smaller. If our grandparents had been wise enough to have only one child, and these descendants would have been as wise, we would have none of the troubles bothering Gordon.

As it is, we have a world economy based on perpetual growth in a finite space. It is not sustainable. Govern-ments and bureaucrats try to mitigate the growing problems with rules and regulations. That is only partially suc-cessful and it is damned irritating.

No one seems to have the vision or courage to point to the elephant in

the room: There are too many people! In my lifetime, the world population has tripled. Unfortunately, we humans have not taken responsibility for our numbers, which exceed the carrying capacity of the Earth by approximately five billion souls. Every ecosystem on Earth is in crisis, thousands of species are going extinct and even the atmosphere and oceans are imperiled.

Our neglect means that it will be the horsemen of the apocalypse that clean up Dodge, and, Gordon, then we will have no opportunities or free-dom.

To the Editor:Disappointed is the only word that

can describe Lorne Eckersley’s cover-age of the Creston Valley Blossom Festival in general, and specifically the 70-plus ladies pageant.

While the photo on the front page was cute, it hardly told the full story of the event. Nor did it even name the three finalists! A simple phone call to the organizers could have solved this problem (news writing 101) and all three ladies and their supporting orga-nizations would have thought well of the Advance.

Allow me to fill in the gaps for your readers. While the pageant queen was Dollie Kaetler, there were also two princesses, Thelma Johnson (who is 91, by the way) and Elva Holmes. The pre-senter of the tiaras and gifts was Laurie Rennick, queen of 1985. She was one of three former queens who judged the pageant.

In all, there were 10 contestants, aged 70 to 91, and all were so beautiful and talented that it was almost an impossible task to pick winners. Each was sponsored by a community group, which received equal prize money to the three winners.

This information could have been inserted in place of the mention of MLA Michelle Mungall’s attendance, as she contributed nothing to the event.

Most crucially missing in the story was the fact that the event was spon-sored generously by the Creston and District Credit Union, whose logo was obviously displayed on the podium, for all to see, including the press. In addition, this information was provid-ed, weeks in advance, to the editor of the Advance.

Since the Blossom Festival survives on community donations, it is one of our priorities to give good exposure to our major donors, such as the Credit Union. We feel a correction notice should be run in the Advance to rectify this omission.

The Go-Go Grannies organized the event, and did an exceptional job, in spite of the shortcomings of the com-munity complex kitchen.

Our sincere thanks to all the won-derful women who participated, and our apologies to you and your spon-sors for the lack of coverage.

It is early June and the rhododen-drons at the front of the house have just started to flower this past week-end. There are five large ones ranging in size from five to seven feet high. They do well in the part shade on the north side of the house. I give them the basics of one box rhodo food and a little extra water to carry them through the hottest part of the summer but that is about it. I always recom-mend planting them with an abundance of peat moss but I know for certain these ones are growing in regular Erickson silt. They have good drainage. Cooler spring temperatures mean they are flowering later than usual. Further, these temperatures should increase the life expectancies of their flowers.

In the nursery, a common question I am asked for just about every flowering plant is, “How long do they flower for?” There is no precise answer as it seems the weather and corresponding tem-perature always play a part. If you are looking for season long colour in your garden. consider the lowly potentilla, as it is the only shrub that I can think of that flowers all summer long. I doubt if I sell 20 pots a year of them; however, they are tough as nails and deer resis-tant, too.

Perhaps adding some great coloured foliage — trees and shrubs — to your garden will give you better inspira-tion. If you were looking for an out-standing addition to your yard or garden, consider the weeping purple beech tree. Small in stature but with

an interesting growth habit and deep maroon leaves, this tree is awesome. Its cousin, the tri-colour beech tree, is more of an upright form. This tree has a reddish pink, creamy yellow and

green in the leaf. It will grow to be a large tree at maturity, so be sure to give it lots of room, with full sun always bringing out the best in leaf colour.

Of course, there is the Japanese maple, small tree or shrub form, in green or red lace leaf. The purple leaf sand cherry almost has the same red leaf colour as the Japanese maple. These are useful as a bright hedge material or accent plant for tougher sites in the landscape. Crimson king maples offer a good-sized shade tree with maroon leaf colour. Princeton gold maples have bril-liant yellow leaves and the Drummond maple offer green and white variegated leaves on basically the same size trees as their cousin the crimson king.

The sunburst honey locust trees offer a lighter shade than the maples. They are just starting to leaf out right now. It always reminds me of a tree in flower — the new leaves are so bright.

For smaller shrubs with great leaf colour, think of spireas and ninebarks. For spirea with interesting leaf colours we have the Gold Flame and Gold Mound varieties. The Gold Flame have

a reddish-orange new growth, followed by pink flowers, fall colour and compact size. The Gold Mound cultivar offers sim-ply a brighter yellow. Ninebarks come in the yellow, orangish-red and maroon leaf coloured variet-ies. Sizes range from small to quite large, but with a little prun-ing they would work well any-where.

In purple, we offer smoke bushes and elderberries. Smoke bush is named for the plume of feather like flowers they get on the top of their foli-age. They are often confused with burn-ing bushes by their name only, as burn-ing bushes have the great fall colour.

Lastly, I will mention the barberries for their foliage. They come in a variety of sizes from two feet tall and two feet wide to three, four and five feet high in reds, purples and yellows. They make a great addition to any landscape and would probably be voted as the best addition to the nursery trade in Canada in the past decade if such a vote was to be held.

There is always more variation to leaf colour being developed for shrubs but I haven’t adequate time or space here to discuss it all. Best come by the nursery and admire it all first hand. Hope to see you soon!

With a combined age of over 140 years, Alex Nilsson and Terry Munkerud are once again rewriting the record books with their unique — some would say mildly eccentric — feats of physical endur-ance, all for good causes!

Terry has recent-ly completed 182 laps of the Creston and District Com-munity Complex walking track. Not an unusual achievement you might say, but Terry chose to do it backwards!

“I’d like to thank all the donors who raised over $1,100,” says Terry. “The pro-ceeds will be combined with the town donation sent to our twin town of Kaminoho, who will forward it to the places in Japan most in need after the tragedy of the earth-quake.”

Alex’s latest fundraiser is a 24-hour golf marathon at the local course on June 21 (the longest day) from mid-night to midnight. Alex will carry his own clubs and is aiming for a minimum of 100 holes.

Nicole, Alex’s wife, who is in charge of logistics, explains, “All the funds raised will go to the Creston-Kootenay Foundation, a local organiza-tion which provides grants of $25,000 annually to local orga-nizations including TAPS (Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors), the Therapeutic Riding Program, the school science fair and Swan Valley Lodge. Pledges can be by donation or a small-er amount for each hole. We are sure the golfers will

encourage this worthy cause and Alex invites walkers to join him to keep score and perhaps provide some light in the few dark hours.”

The duo is equally active with local volunteering focus-ing on improving the quality of life with therapeutic pro-grams. They transformed a storage building into a wel-coming, thriving place for TAPS.

“Terry put in countless hours using his many skills; I was just the labourer,” says Alex. “Our wives, Nicole and Chris, were part of a large number of volunteers needed to complete the project.”

Their second “labour of love” was the Therapeutic Riding Program at 849 Erickson Rd. Six years ago, they reconstructed an old farm into a corral and an eight-horse shelter for therapeutic riding. They both agree, “The digging for the fence posts was a great workout, but it’s still a work in progress. It’s great to see the riders having so much fun with so many health benefits.”

How do these super spry Scandinavian seniors find the energy to manage such remarkable feats of endur-ance? Two of the main rea-sons must be their exercise routines and their food regi-men. Alex works with

weights an incredible 20 hours a week, while Terry walks backwards up and down Fox Tree Hill for 1.5 kilometres along with more

usual exercises for another one-and-a-half hours all in the morning. For recreation, Alex plays tennis and golf, and the two will often cycle to Crawford Bay and back in the sum-mer and similar endurance tests in

the winter on cross-country skis.

As for nutrition, food is more of a fuel than a tasty treat. They eat “lots and often”. Any processed food and sugar is strictly off limits. Terry is a vegetarian and some of his more unusual favou-rites are: kefir, rice milk, flax seeds and raw oats sprinkled with cinnamon. Alex has sim-ilar choices with lots of fish, green drinks and protein powder.

Here in Creston, we are for-tunate to have two such inspi-rational seniors. Age and a lit-tle pain, laced with good humour and fun, are no barri-ers to major achievements. On June 12, they compete, as the oldest team, in the famous Wasa Lake Triathlon. Terry cycles 40 kilometres, and Alex runs 10 kilometres. The crafty pair have managed to avoid the 1.5 kilometre swim com-ponent in the icy waters of Wasa Lake by persuading a buddy from Cranbrook that this is something he really wants to do!

May they continue for many years in the future!

Phil Thomas is a longtime resident of Creston.

You have probably seen the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors busses around town, they are out every weekday, and on Wednesday there is always one at Overwaitea. These buses are a lifeline for more than 50 seniors who otherwise would be homebound. The busses belong to TAPS. They were purchased by the Krafty Kronys and the TAPS seniors through huge fundrais-ing efforts. It takes a lot of craft sales, raffles and pies sales to buy a bus.

TAPS could not happen without the busses and their drivers because most of our seniors cannot manage public transit. This means that they could not be part of the activities at TAPS, and they would remain in their homes. It also means that their grocery shopping needs would fall on friends, family or neighbors and that another level of their indepen-dence would be lost.

We use the busses to get to the community complex for swimming and walking programs, and to go to the community greenhouse to work with young families on planting and harvesting projects. We go to singalongs and garden parties, and for drives through the country when the weather is nice. What a treat!

Yesterday, I rode the bus to take the TAPS people home. Our driver, Nellie, wound that big bus through narrow streets and lanes and down the highway. She made a very nec-essary stop at the pharmacy and then went on to the homes of 16 people on the bus. Nellie jumped out of her seat at each stop and helped her passengers off the bus. Many times, she closed the bus doors behind her and offered her arm to assist a rider up their walk. At one stop she walked Paul down a long driveway that is too narrow for the bus and too long for him to manage on his own.

The ride was full of laughs and stories. It was also a history lesson for me and a walk down memory lane for the others. “I lived down that street for thirty-five years.”

“We used to walk up this hill to go to school and church.” “There was a mercantile on this corner and it was the busiest place in town.” “I remember standing right here and watching the high school burn down.”

I learned about where Alice Siding really was and that

there was a graveyard there at one time. Do you know why it was moved to its present location? I learned that the GM dealership used to be an apple orchard, and that one of our seniors used to pick and pack those apples?

The story telling was a means of assisting those whose memories are a little foggy. “Mary, you remember when we used to plant our gardens in that ravine don't you?” and “Remember when the bears ate the fruit from that orchard?” This car-ing for each other is one of the big benefits of seniors having the opportunity to be together.

At each stop there were calls of, “See you Wednesday” and “Take care of yourself,” and hugs from Nellie to her departing passenger.

We have two drivers, Nellie and Susan, who do so much more than get our seniors to TAPS. They man-age those buses in good weather and bad, help with chores at TAPS and take care of each individual as they would their own parents. The seniors describe them as awesome, fabulous and amazing. We are for-tunate to have them as TAPS team members.

The next time you see the TAPS buses, honk — we appreciate your support.

Real food, fresh ingredients,HoMe-STyLe ATMoSPHeRe


Jamie O’Neil and Lisa Elsworth are new to Creston, and to res-taurant ownership, but they

are confident that their passion for fresh, quality ingredients, interesting recipes and customer service will help their newly opened Real Food Café succeed.

The cafe, located at 223 10th Ave. N., across from the firehall, opened only last week, but already word of mouth has helped fill tables in the lower floor of the building and the patio out back.

“The response has been quite wonderful,” Elsworth said on Monday. “We were content to start with a soft opening, but people we know have been sending their friends and com-ing themselves. It has been busi-er than we expected during our first days in business.”

Elsworth and O’Neil are new to Creston, but they are old hands in the hospitality business. O’Neil was born in Scotland and left home at the age of 16.

“I always worked in kitch-ens,” he said. “I started out washing dishes and learned on the job. Then I studied cooking in London.”

The couple met in Massachusetts when they both lived among a group that shared the rent of a large house. Eventually they paired up and returned to the United Kingdom — Elsworth is English — where they worked in hotels.

They spent a dozen years in the United States, mostly in Colorado and Alaska, where they worked in resorts and on small adventure cruise ships.

Colorado and Alaska?“We love outdoor life, ”

Elsworth explained.

When they weren’t working — he as a chef and she as a hotel manager and ship’s purser — they hiked and camped and fell in love with the mountains and forests.

Working at a remote hot springs resort in Alaska, O’Neil said they weren’t the only non-North Americans who couldn’t get enough of the scenery.

“We’d go outside at night and see Japanese tourists, bundled in winter gear, lying on the ground hoping to see the Aurora Borealis,” he laughed. “It might have been cloudy, but they were only there for a few days and they weren’t going to miss a chance to see the light show.”

After 12 years in the U.S., they returned to the United Kingdom, this time to Scotland.

“But we just couldn’t adjust,” Elsworth said. “We’d fallen in love with open spaces and natu-ral landscapes.”

For the next three years they resided in Bulgaria, an experi-ence they enjoyed immensely.

“We bought an old farmhouse to restore,” O’Neil said. “We had a tent set up in the bedroom and the locals thought we were quite strange — no running water in the kitchen or bathroom and a tent inside the house!”

Neighbours took the couple under their wing, though, and soon they were helping to set up a campground and restaurant nearby.

“Bulgaria is just now being discovered by tourists,” Elsworth said. “Dutch and German people love it. It’s so cheap compared to Europe. The food, wine and museums are incredibly affordable.

“We could have lived there for the rest of our lives, but you need a challenge in life, don’t you?”

For their next adventure the couple wanted an English

speaking country where they could establish their own busi-ness. Twenty years ago they traveled with backpacks from Nova Scotia to the Yukon.

“Everyone was so nice and friendly,” Elsworth recalls. “The World Cup soccer tournament

was going on and we would get invited into houses to watch games when people learned we were football fans.”

They chose Creston after travel-ling around the Kootenays in a rental car. Arriving earlier this year, their impression was decid-edly different from their only other visit a couple of years earlier.

“We came through on a November evening,” Elsworth recalled. “The weather was dis-mal and everything seemed to be closed. It was a bit depressing.”

Their arrival this year gave them a completely different impression. They met people, saw the effects of the Canyon Street revitalization program and learned about the newly constructed aquatic centre.

“We just got the feeling that there is great potential here,” she said. “And our impression of Canyon Street was very positive. Creston feels like it is ready to take off.”

After considering other loca-tions, Elsworth and O’Neil pur-

chased the 12th Street building, once home to Canada Manpower and most recently to the administration offices of Creston and District Society for Community Living.

Renovations were soon under-way and the couple was aston-ished at the support of people they had only recently met.

Nearby homeowners Ted and Lily Heynen offered a rental suite, then their entire house when they went south for the winter. The provided storage space, encouragement and, most importantly, friendship.

“They have just been such a calming influence for us,” Elsworth said.

She and O’Neil knew they wanted a restaurant with a farm-

house atmosphere and as many local ingredients as possible, and soon were making connections with people who share their pas-sion for fresh, locally grown food.

“Gary and Susan Snow have been wonderful friends and we are using their Tabletree cherry juice and reductions,” Elsworth said. “Gord and Carolyn Martin of Cherrybrook Farms are sup-plying dried cherries and lettuce. We are using Nostrala cheese produced by the Harrises at Kootenay Alpine Cheese, as well as their organic beef and pork.”

She credited Erika Woker of Community Futures for helping them create a business plan, Creston Valley Farmer’s Market manager Jenn Comer for putting them in touch with local produc-ers, and Vicki and Jim McDonald for endless amounts of advice and help.

“Looking back, it’s really hard to believe how many peo-ple have stepped in to help us get started,” she said.

The menu? Real Food Café entices customers with a tantaliz-ing variety of recipes the couple has collected in their years of travel and work. Where else might one find authentic English fish and chips (yes, with mushy peas), Moroccan chicken tagine, gluten-free bread, vegetarian curry and meatballs cacciatore? Or barbecue salmon, real ham-burgers and home-cut French fries, and sticky toffee pudding, all made with the best ingredi-ents available, sourced locally whenever possible?

Real Food Café is open for lunch from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday through Friday, and dinner from 4:30-9 p.m. Monday through Saturday. A takeout menu is available. Call 250-428-8882 for reservations or to place a takeout order.

Linen DepartmentThree volunteers are needed in the linen department to sort, wash, fold and price items.A Crafty person that knows the value of items (eg: needlework, craft supplies, quilting supplies) would be a great asset to Linens.Upper body strength is required as there is some lifting and folding of large items. This department is amazing in its organization of different craft supplies and needs volunteers with these skills.

Toy DepartmentWhen toys are donated to Gleaners they are sorted, cleaned and bagged.If you like to work with small items then the toy department is the place to volunteer. Stuffi es are washed and dried when needed, every game is checked to make sure all the pieces are there, battery operated toys are inspected for working conditions and great care is taken to present items for sale.This department has a very organized system for recycling items for children.


The next four slogans sug-gest criteria that we can rely on to evaluate the effective-ness of our Zen training. How do we know if we are going off the rails in our spiritual practice? How do we know the extent to which we are making the teachings real in daily life?

There are many Buddhist sects in British Columbia. In the BC Interior, for example, we have a Theravadan monas-tery north of Kamloops, a Vipassana centre near Merritt, a Tibetan centre in Nelson and here, in Creston, we have a Zen centre. Some teachers have many followers, others only a few. There are different titles and robes. Sometimes one style of Buddhism becomes trendy

for a while and then fades out of fashion. Each form of Buddhism carries cultural influences. But all Buddhist

teachings make the same essential point: To measure our progress of Buddhist training, we must examine our daily lives.

Looking inwards, it some-times seems that we are mak-

ing progress, but at other times it seems that the whole endeavor has been a waste of time. It all depends on our

mood. Sometimes we imagine that years have gone by and we seem to be no different than when we began — or even worse. At other times, we notice that we have become a bit calmer or a bit more aware,

or even a bit kinder. We are dis-couraged one day and inspired the next. So how do we measure spiri-tual progress? What should we be looking for?

According to this slogan, in looking outward, it is important not to be misled by cultural condi-tioning, the trappings of popularity or the appearance of spiritual power. In looking inward it is important not to be caught up with shifting moods or superficial changes. Instead, we must always remember the essential point of all Buddhist teachings, which is to give up ego clinging. Unlike Christian and Islamic teachings, Buddhism emphasizes that there is no fixed self that we need to pro-tect from suffering after death, and there is no set of beliefs that we have to adhere to if we are to ensure a blissful afterlife in heav-en.

All Buddhist teachings make the same essential point: The way to be free of suffering is to dis-mantle the delusive ideas that imprison us in self-cherishing. The essential teaching here is that the idea of a fixed self that contin-ues after death encourages ego-

clinging, encourages us to find motivation in the idea of saving ourselves from suffering. In Buddhism, we train to cease from polluting our lives and the lives of others with belief-based egos. When we think in this way, what-ever happens in our lives becomes a way to measure spiritual prog-ress because it is in our daily exchanges that we can observe the extent to which we have shed self-concern.

Practice suggestion: For the next two weeks, try to pay atten-tion to how your solid sense of separateness is provoked. Notice the thoughts and sensations that arise with reactions such as defen-siveness, territoriality and con-cern about how to satisfy self-cherishing. Notice the happiness that arises when something has drawn you out, beyond self-ab-sorption.

This column is a long series of short essays exploring the meaning of the Lojong Slogans. It is inspired by the work of Judy Lief.

Kuya Minogue is the resident teach-er at Creston’s ZenWords Zen Centre. For more information, she can be reached at 250-428-3390.

All Buddhist teachings agree on one point

CRUISERS

Two things you don't expect at a car show are umbrellas and rain coats. There is no denying it was a wet day.

The sixth annual Creston Valley Blossom Festival classic car show hosted by the Creston Valley Cruisers looked to be a washout as organizers set up early May 21. But they came, more than last year!

We hosted vehicles from B.C., Alberta, Washington, Idaho and Montana. One fella, as he pulled in from Washington with a beautiful 1970 Chevelle that he bought new, commented, “If you don't drive them, you don't own them”, a statement that set

the mood of the day.The moisture continued till

around 12:30 or 1 p.m. This didn't seem to deter enthusiasts, as the street always had specta-tors of all ages. The beautiful downtown Canyon Street loca-tion is the draw for many of our entrants, and without it our show wouldn't be the same.

Jeff Dashwood's unique tro-phies were once again the focus of attraction for the entrants Participants in the show vote on the classes, so winning a trophy is recognition by their peers.

BY BRIAN LAWRENCEAdvance Editor

Invented by the Persians 4,000 years ago, and adopted by the Chinese, who used it to dec-orate vases, enamelling is alive and well in

Crawford Bay. For many people, paint comes to mind when they think of enamel, although the term originally meant “glass on metal”, precise-ly the method Lorna Robin and Helene Carter use to create their unique and colourful art.

Abstract images, scenery and animals cover a variety of pieces by Fireworks Copper and Glass, from light switch covers to earrings to wall clocks, all made of glass melted on copper.

“It’s a good conductor of heat,” said Robin. “And it cools slowly, so the glass doesn’t break.”

The process begins with a design drawn on cardboard, which is then traced and cut out of a sheet of copper. (In the case of repetitive shapes, such as earrings, the copper is bought pre-formed.) The piece is sanded until it’s shiny and a little rough, so glass will adhere to it.

In its pre-melted form, the glass is a powder — in over 100 colours — which is sifted or brushed onto the copper. Placed in a 1,000 C (1,832 F) kiln, the glass melts in about a minute. Once the piece is cool, additional layers may be added, with up to a half-dozen in some of the more complex designs, although too many lay-ers may cause the edges to lose clarity.

Because the melting process takes only a minute, results are visible fairly quickly, said Robin, “but there’s a lot of preparation and planning, and finishing” to prevent mistakes.

Both artists work through the winter, although the shop only keeps regular hours during the summer tourist season, when visi-tors are welcome to watch the duo at work in their shop at 16095 Highway 3A.

“It’s fun to have visitors in the summer,” Robin said. “Customers come in a lot and say, ‘I never imagined that was how it was made.”

“People like to see something being made and have that connection to buying it,” said Carter.

The Nova Scotia-born Robin started copper enamelling in 1990 as an offshoot of Kootenay Forge, which she started with her husband, John Smith, in 1979 on Vancouver Island’s Saanich Peninsula. They moved to Crawford Bay in 1981, and sold the business to their daughter and son-in-law a few years ago.

“The enamelling started with the idea of adding colour to the black metal,” Robin said. “I ended up doing a lot of experimenting and creating my own techniques.”

At least one aspect of the experimenting stuck — in the beginning, Robin used the com-pany’s forge to fire her work, and when she bought a kiln for Fireworks, she cut a hole in the side, turning it into a forge.

Four years ago, Carter bought half of the business from Robin, part of Robin’s plan to keep Fireworks running after her eventual retirement.

The partners have known each other for 20 years, and used to be neighbours. Carter, who studied fashion design in college and has a background in weaving, textiles and felting, was a logical choice to join the business.

“I’ve done workshops twice,” said Robin, “and both times she was the first to sign up.”

In four years, Carter has learned a great deal from Robin, and that hasn’t stopped.

“It’s a constant learning pro-cess,” said Carter, who grew up near Vancouver. “I’ve been doing it for four years and I wouldn’t say I’ve stopped.”

While learning, she discovered her favourite aspects of creating

this type of art.“I like combining colours, and

using nature as an inspiration,” said Carter.

The colour is a favourite for Robin, too, as is the variety found in the work.

“There’s so much to choose from on any given day,” said Robin. “Colour experimentation is always fun. I think you’ll find that with anyone who works with colours.”

CRESTON GOLF CLUB

With the Creston course playing at its best and the new tees adding a challenge to all levels of player, the stage was set for a dramatic battle between Josh Coletti and Jordan Melanson (both low handicap college players from Granite Point Golf Course in Nelson), Jared McMillan from Creston, and Daniel Brown, a former Creston golfer from Kelowna, in the Blossom Festival Open golf tournament.

Coletti, with an opening 70 on the first day, took a three-shot lead into the final 18 holes over McMillan and a five-shot lead over Melanson and Brown. Brown opened with a sizzling four under par front nine, closely followed by Melanson with a 34, who birdied the sixth, seventh

and eighth holes to pull within one shot of Coletti. Later in the round, Coletti needed an eagle on the par four 15th hole to tie with Melanson. Then on the 18th green, Coletti had an opportuni-ty to pull back into a tie again, but unfortunately three putted to give Melanson the men’s cham-pionship by two shots.

Melanson, who has profes-sional aspirations and is the captain of the Simon Fraser University golf team, summed up his round:

“I’ve been really focusing on my ball striking, and hitting the last 14 greens in regulation under a little pressure is really encour-aging,” he said. “It really helps to stay focused on the next shot, which is all you can control.”

Creston golfers fared better in the lower flights with Don Price and Mike Nelson both

breaking 80 to take the first and second low gross in the first flight. In the men’s second flight, local Dale Benedetti cruised home with a four-shot win over Tom Proud.

In the ladies’ flight, local perennial winner Cherie Baker won with a solid 169 total, out-scoring Linda Price by two shots.

Entry numbers (84) were down this year, presumably due to the late start to the sea-son. However, with the excel-lent course condition, thanks to Devon Davidson and his crew, the smooth organization of Don Price’s committee and Randy Panton and his staff, and the outstanding hospitali-ty of the new clubhouse man-ager Dennis Munro, the club expects numbers to be up sub-stantially in 2012.

CRESTONJUDO CLUB

Four members of the Creston Judo Club recently attended a judo tournament in Spokane, Wash.

Winning gold in the under 20 category was Leelen Samuelson, who defeated two black belts on his way to victory.

Kaeden Rendek also won gold in the under 11 age group, with Justin Juurlink win-ning silver in the same division.

Dillon Hack fell just short of a gold medal due to a shoulder inju-ry incurred during a previous match and had to settle for a bronze medal.

For more informa-tion on the Creston Judo Club and training times, call Shannon Juurlink at 250-402-6737 or Sheila Qualtieri at 250-866-5269.

HST will be reduced from 12% to 10%.After listening to British Columbians, the government has proposed an HST reduction from 12% to 11% by 2012, then to 10% by 2014. This proposed change will take effect if the province votes to keep the HST in the referendum. If B.C. votes to return to the GST + PST system, the combined rate will remain at 12%.

Transition cheques for families & seniors.Under the proposed change to a 10% HST rate, the average B.C. family will be $120 better off annually than under the old 12% GST + PST system. And to help transition to the lower rate, the government will provide $175 for every child under 18 and every senior with income under $40,000.

BY BRIAN LAWRENCEAdvance Editor

Nearly a year-and-a-half after con-struction began, Creston’s zendo will welcome guests on June 15 to Crescendo at the Zendo, an evening that includes new music by Gary Deatherage, new poetry by Kuya Minogue and Luanne Armstrong and a philosophical conver-sation moderated by Jason Deatherage and Neil Ripski.

“Wherever I've gone, I've had a zendo (meditation hall) of some type — everything from a tent in the bush near Burns Lake to a corner of a log cabin in Atlin, B.C.,” said Zen teacher Kuya Minogue, who started ZenWords Zen Centre in 2008.

The new zendo is unusual in Creston, constructed by Daniel Kempling using traditional Japanese joinery techniques.

“The building is framed with Japanese joinery which was milled on-site and is almost completely devoid of metal fasteners,” he said. “It is the type of carpentry that has been used for close to a millennium in Japanese temples.”

Kempling will host a slide show on the construction, beginning with site preparation and ending with the final touches.

Guests can also enjoy the new Japanese garden that was designed and installed by Karen Powis and Gary Smith.

The zendo will not only benefit Minogue’s practice, but will also be available to the community.

“It provides a setting for Zen prac-tice, which hasn't existed before, and it provides a venue for people who want to explore a values-based way of living, a venue for musical and artistic activities, and a new venue for small weddings and other gather-ings,” said Minogue. “It would be a good place for a small yoga class.”

And plans are already in place.“This year we will be offering a

mindful eating course, as well as some joint courses with Neil Ripski of Red Jade Martial Arts,” she said.

Minogue said the completion of the zendo has left her relieved and exhilarated to continue her teaching.

“This new zendo is more than I ever dared to dream and gives me a perfect place to teach the Zen practices that I have been studying since 1986.”

Sponsored by Fort Cosmos Studios, Red Jade Martial Arts and Aikido of the Kootenays, tickets for Crescendo at the Zendo are $20 at Kingfisher Used Books. The event runs from 7-9 p.m. on June 15.

CRESTON MUSEUM

Kids Day is back at the Creston Museum!

On June 11, the Creston Museum will open its doors to kids of all ages for a special day of old-fashioned fun and games.

Lessons in the schoolhouse begin at 10:30, 1:30, and 3:30 — and the schoolma’am is strict, so don’t be late!

There will be ice cream and lemonade from 11 a.m.-1 p.m., and the Prospectors Club will be on hand with its gold-pan-ning setup from 1-3 or later. You’re guaranteed to find gold — which you can keep

— and you will receive a cer-tificate and photograph to go with it.

The Old-Fashioned Candy Store will be open for busi-ness all day. Thanks to the support of Overwaitea Foods, you can buy candy at old-fashioned prices. Bring a few pennies — or try to win a few in the games and races — to get three gumballs or jujubes for a penny!

See if you can find all of the objects hidden in the muse-um’s treasure hunt. If you haven’t already checked out Artifact or Artifiction, this is a good time to see if you can spot the lie among twelve spe-

cially-chosen stories about some of the museum’s arti-facts.

It all goes from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. on June 11. Gold pan-ning is $10; the ice cream and lemonade picnic is $1 per person. All other activities, including admission to the museum, are free. Kids 12 and under — please remem-ber to bring an adult with you.

For more information, con-tact the museum at 250-428-9262 or [email protected]. The Creston Museum, located at 219 Devon Street, is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. daily starting on June 11.

SASQUATCH ARTSAND MUSIC SOCIETY

Local composer and guitarist extraordinaire Peter Bodley will be gracing the stage at the Snoring Sasquatch on June 11.

Although Bodley’s live per-formances and playlist are often spontaneous, he will be playing a mix of his new CD, Classics for Kids, along with compositions from his previous CDs, which cover classical, folk and flamenco

styling. It will be an entirely acoustic evening and 90 per cent instrumental. He will be joined by special guests Warren Bruns on vocals and guitar, and Neil Ripski on percussion.

He was exposed to classical

guitar through rock and roll art-ists such as Steve Howe, Alex Lifeson and Rik Emmett. This led him to explore the Spanish gui-tar. He listened to the repertoire of astounding guitar players like John Williams and Liona Boyd,

and most recently became famil-iar with Pavlo, Jesse Cook, Oscar Lopez and Robert Michaels.

Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8. Tickets are $10 at Kingfisher Used Books and Black Bear Books, and $12 at the door.

Bodley brings children’s music to Snoring Sasquatch

George WhiteheadDecember 2, 1912

~May 26, 2011

George was born to parents Violet and Harry Whitehead in Edmonton. Having lived through the Depression years, he learned to make do with the little they had. He dug coal from a homemade coal mine (even though it was illegal due to the danger) in the banks of the North Saskatchewan River, in order to help keep the family warm during the severe Edmonton winters.He earned his wings in the Air Force during World War II, and became a pilot trainer in Fort McLeod, AB. George settled in Edmonton where he and his wife, Ivy, raised their three children, Leslie, Trevor, and Glen.George worked for the Edmonton Post Ofce for 35 years, and upon retiring settled in Victoria, BC. In spite of his long career, he was retired longer than he worked! He moved to Creston, living here for seven years, and then spent the last 10 years of his life in Edmonton.George had many pastimes. He loved nature and was an avid sherman. He also enjoyed curling, photography, bridge, chess, and reading. His special passions were gardening and holidaying in his motor home. George was predeceased by his wife Ivy, his son Trevor, and his sister Edna. He will be lovingly remembered by his daughter Leslie, his son Glen, his grandchildren Heather, John, Sandon, Sarah, Jesse and Sage, and seven great-grandchildren. The family is very appreciative of the many kindnesses extended to George by friends and neighbors during his years in Creston. “Nature produces the greatest results with the simplest means. These are the sun, owers, water, and love.” -Heinrich Heine

BONNERS FERRYCHILDREN’S CHOIR

BONNERS FERRY — The award winning Bonners Ferry Children's Choir will present the musical Seussical Jr.

It is Dr. Seuss set to some amaz-ing music performed by some of the strongest young performers in the area, at what will become Bonners Ferry’s own Pearl Theatre. This is a chance to see the “oyster” that will become the Pearl Theater this fall and meet its owner Carolyn Testa.

Over 20 young performers will present a show full of laughs, jubi-lant music and warm hearted Seussical moments in which we can all see ourselves.

Seussical Jr. is performed in con-junction with Music Theatre International of New York, with music, lyrics, book and conception by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens. The music was supervised, adapted and produced by Bryan Louiselle.

All the singers are members of Bonners Ferry's children’s choir, Swingin' on a Star. Director, chore-ographer and conductor is Vicki (Blake) Thompson. Assistant direc-tors include Rona Hall, Lisa Palmer, and Holly Robertson.

Swingin’ on a Star began in 1997

and has received all superior ratings at MENC (National Association for Music Education) large group festivals includ-ing several perfect scores. It was selected to perform for the State Convention of Idaho Music Edu-cators and have per-formed with the Spokane Children’s Chorus by invitation. It has also worked with the Seattle and Tacoma Children's Choirs. Several members have gone on to major in music in college and are currently performing artists.

The performances of Seussical Jr. will be June 11, 13 and 14 at 7 p.m. and June 12 at 3 p.m. Seating is limited to about 75 per perfor-mance. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students 18 and under. Children will be encouraged to sit on mats on the floor in front of the stage.

The Pearl Theater (formerly the Community Fellowship Church) is located on Ash Street just off of Highway 95 in downtown Bonners Ferry. Tickets are available at Thompson Chiropractic on Highway 95, from cast members and at the door.
