With local government elections scheduled for Nov. 15, the Town of Creston is a hotbed of interests for aspir-ing politicians.

At 4 p.m. Oct. 10, five candidates had filed nomination papers for the mayor’s job and another 14 filed for the six town council positions.

In contrast, interest in Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) and School District. No. 8 (Kootenay Lake) was much lower.

Incumbents Larry Binks (RDCK Area C) and Garry Jackman (RDCK Area A) had no competition at the 4 p.m. filing deadline (late filings might yet be post-ed). Tanya Wall and Jared LeBlanc will offer voters a choice in Area B, where longtime director and RDCK chair John Kettle is not seeking re-election.

For school board, only Heather Suttie had filed to run for the Town of Creston position. Three candidates declared their interest for the two South Rural posi-tions. Incumbent Rebecca Huscroft, who served as board chair in the last year, is seeking election for a second term.

It was a Blackmore family day in the Creston Law Courts on Oct. 9, where two leaders of opposing Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints factions appeared to face polygamy charges.

Winston Kay Blackmore sat in the pub-lic section of the courtroom, surrounded by eight daughters and a granddaughter. He was represented, on a temporary basis, by Vancouver attorney Alison Latimer and was not required to speak to Judge Grant Sheard. The indictment against Blackmore alleges that he has 24 wives.

James Marion Oler, Blackmore’s brother-in-law, has not retained counsel and requested time to hire a lawyer. The Oler-led faction is said to keep close ties with the followers of Warren Jeffs in the U.S. Jeffs is currently incar-cerated in Texas.

ect was made possi-ble through a grant provided by the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, in con-junction with the Town of Creston, the Rotary clubs and Trails for Creston Valley.

The new trails have been named in memo-ry of two local resi-dents Stephen (Steve) Hernandez and Klaus Kuhnlein, who were active community members who enjoyed

outdoor recreation. Friends and family members of Hernandez will be invited to cut the rib-bon to open the trail.

Following the dedication ceremony, all participants and members of the pub-lic are invited to join in the action by walking, roller blad-ing or cycling along the new trails. Everyone will make their way to Centennial Park, where there will be a small presentation

around 3 p.m. to open a second out-door gym, and enjoy a selection of healthy refreshments.

This project fur-thers Creston’s sus-tainability objectives to enhance communi-ty life for all ages by encouraging physical activity, and to estab-lish a network of linked trails and gre-enways.

One doesn’t have to drive far these days to experience a smooth and quiet ride on fresh-ly laid pavement.

As many as 40 workers have been working 12-hour days since August on a $4.9 million paving project that totals 33 kilometres of roadway.

Included is “approximately 22 kilometres of paving on Highway 3 from the chain up spot to Blazed Creek Forest Service Road,” said Robert Adam for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MTI), describing the scope of the work.

When that project was com-plete, crews moved to Highway 21, where seven kilometres were paved from Mallory Road to the junction of Highway 3.

But it’s the shortest part of the project, the repaving of

Erickson Street, that results in the most obvious change.

The project includes “drain-age upgrades and widening where possible within the exist-ing ministry right-of-way to enhance mobility for all users, especially pedestrians and cyclists,” Adam said.

Creston Mayor Ron Toyota said that the Erickson Street project was complicated by the fact that the Town of Creston boundary runs down the centre of the street, with the southern side of the road in Regional District of Central Kootenay Area B.

“We started conversations (with the MTI) about three years ago about relocating the boundary,” he said. “That start-ed the discussion.”

Initial discussions centered around the town taking over the entire road and, hence, the responsibility for maintaining it.

“Then a year ago I went to Victoria and said to the assistant deputy minister, ‘We don’t want it. You take it,’ ” said Toyota.

Discussions evolved into a swap in which streets on the west side of town — Ash and McMurtie — would become the town’s responsibility.

“Erickson Street had been on the ministry’s radar as needing capital improvements for quite some time, obviously,” he said. “But our discussions helped to push it into the budget queue.”

By adding the Erickson Street project to the needs on

highways 3 and 21, Toyota said it made it easier for the prov-ince to justify putting the proj-ect out to tender.

“Can we get enough work to put out a bigger bid that would justify putting in a batch plant? That became part of the think-ing,” he said. “By adding suffi-cient volume you get econo-mies of scale that make finan-cial sense.”

The contract was awarded to Okanagan Aggregates Ltd. on March 14, and gravel produc-tion and crushing started in August. A total of 42,000 tonnes of paving aggregate were used and 600 metres of new concrete roadside barrier were installed.

For its part, the town was required to upgrade below-ground infrastructure to assure the province that it wouldn’t need to dig up the new paving in the next few years.

“There were people who were unhappy with the condi-tion of Erickson Street this summer, but we had to get our work done so that we wouldn’t hold up the paving work when the time came,” Toyota said. “This project is a great example of what can be done when lev-els of government work togeth-er in a spirit of cooperation.”

For his part, MTI area man-ager Cliff Razzo said the scope of work completed this year has been satisfying.

“It’s been really exciting to be part of all this. It makes a big difference to our community.”

From page 1She will be challenged by

newcomers Cody Beebe and Ken Vaughan-Evans, and for-

mer board member Verna Mayers-McKenzie.

If he is to have a third term in office, Creston Mayor Ron Toyota will have to fend off competition from 18-year RDCK director Tom Mann (who was defeated in Area C in 2008), former Town of Creston CAO Bill Hutchinson, unsuc-cessful 2011 town council can-didate Rhonda Barter and new-comer Jared LeBlanc (also run-ning in RDCK Area B).

Only one incumbent is seek-ing re-election to town council. Joanna Wilson will be going after a fourth term in office. Former councillors Joe Snopek (who was also a two-term mayor) and Ed Vondracek will be joined on the ballot by newcomers Penny A.P. Anderson, Kevin Boehmer, Evelyn Bradford, Muriel Buhr, Jen Comer, Arnold DeBoon, Jim Elford, Daniel Guerts, Lon Hansen, Myrna Johnson and Karen Unrah.

From page 1Both cases were remanded until

Dec. 4 so that both men could retain counsel.

Also appearing in court were Blackmore’s son, Brandon James Blackmore, and his wife, Emily Ruth Crossfield, who are charged with unlawfully removing a child under 16 from Canada with the intent that an offence of a sexual nature would be committed outside of Canada. Neither has retained counsel and Sheard suggested they speak to the Legal Aid BC lawyer who was in the courthouse at the time.

The husband and wife are fol-lowers of Oler’s faction. When asked outside the courthouse if he speaks to his son often, Winston said, “Not for a long, long time.” Their case was also remanded.

No information about the charges was provided in the courtroom, but Crown prosecutor Peter Wilson con-sented to Latimer’s request that Winston Blackmore should be able to cross into the U.S. because he has family on both sides of the border. Sheard agreed to amend previous conditions that required him to remain in B.C. or Alberta. Blackmore will still have to report to the Creston RCMP every other Wednesday.

“He is not a flight risk,” Latimer contended, and Wilson agreed.

Oler made a quick exit from the courthouse, avoiding questions from reporters. But Blackmore, dressed in a black suit and tie with a white shirt and wearing a baseball cap with the initials WB — “It’s my

son’s,” he said — stayed outside to do interviews and pose for photo-graphs, including some with his daughters and granddaughters.

“A little bit sick,” he said when asked how he felt. “I don’t really know that much (about the prose-cution’s case). I haven’t seen any-thing and it’s probably wise not to say anything.”

On facing polygamy charges “again”, he said, “I will absolutely defend.”

How that defense will be made is unclear, as Blackmore said his financial situation prevented hiring Latimer except on an interim basis.

“I’m worried about money,” he admitted.

Asked about how he will carry on with his life with what could be a lengthy trial looming, he said, “We just live one day at a time and we’ll do the best we can.”

“It’s Thanksgiving weekend,” he said. “I’m just going to go home and be thankful.”

From page 4•A complaint about

an assault on Highway 21 involving family members is under investigation.

•Police attended a Ninth Avenue South residence to keep the peace while a separat-ed couple removed property.

•A vehicle went off Erickson Road and into the ditch, where it flipped over. Witnesses reported the occupants left on foot. The next morning, the vehicle owner reported the vehicle was stolen, but did not co-operate with police questioning.

•A driver who was stunting on 19th Avenue North was charged for driving without due care and attention.

Polygamy

Lorne EckersleyWinston Blackmore outside Creston Law Courts on Oct. 9.

Whenever I hear about another mining accident — or learn that B.C. miners are not protected by WorkSafeBC, as I did this week — I am transported back to my youth. I think especially of Canada’s centennial, 1967, when the news came late in the afternoon that an explosion had rocked the Balmer North Mine near Sparwood. We had rela-tives, many of them, who were miners, and some of them worked in the Balmer mine.

Both of my grandfathers were coal miners, having come from England, where their fathers had done the same work. It’s all my maternal grandpa ever did. And when he was struck by a teacher in junior high, my dad quit school, never to return, and got a job at the Coal Creek mine, just outside of Fernie. As a young teen he was put to work driving horses up and down the incline as they hauled carts.

Later, he would go to work in the mineshafts. His mining career came to an end after he was caught in a bump, an incident where the tunnel floor was pushed up by gases and he broke an arm as he was crushed against the ceil-ing. (When he recovered he got work in a sawmill. Safer, he thought, until a stack of lumber fell on him, breaking an arm and a leg.)

My paternal grandfather had a few goes at mining, running small sawmills in between, but his last few years before retirement were spent in a mine. It must have been a tough way to make a living for a 65-year-old. I can remember Pop Eckersley walking out of the yard

in Fernie and over to the highway to wait with a group of men for the bus that would take them to work near Sparwood.

Many years earlier, his family

had lived in Natal, one of two lit-tle side-by-side towns in the Crowsnest Pass where so many immigrants had arrived earlier in the century, looking for work in the only field of endeavor they knew. My mom grew up in Michel, which was separated from Natal by Middletown but she didn’t meet dad, at least formally, until years later.

In the 1960s, Michel and Natal were dreary little towns, the soot-covered houses creating a grey vis-age. I was surprised when we vis-ited one of my many aunts and uncles in the area and found the house interiors to be just like houses in the city. Clean and cheery, those house interiors formed a dramatic contrast to the grubbiness of the exterior environ-ment. As kids, if we happened to be sleeping as we entered those towns on the drive from Calgary, we would wake up instantly. The smell from the coking process was overwhelming.

I think I was probably 17 when we were sitting at our dinner table in Calgary. It was springtime and I wanted to find a summer job.

Maybe I’ll see if I can find work in the mines, I mused. My dad exploded in anger, not his usual response. “No son of mine will ever work in a mine,” he yelled.

Case closed.Even as a young man I

loved visiting Fernie to see my grandparents, and Angela and I visited as often as we could in our early years together. When we learned my Grandpa Bath was dying we drove down to visit him in the hospital, where we found him unable to talk through

his oxygen mask. He squeezed our hands and drifted in and out of consciousness as his ability to breathe was choking the life out of him. He had emphysema, of a form one of his doctors had years earlier diagnosed as black lung. Too many years spent in coal-dust filled air. He died a few hours after we left him.

That news of the 1967 Balmer mine disaster gripped our family. We sat by the radio and TV wait-ing for news, and long distance phone calls — usually reserved for our Sunday night chats with grandparents — flew back and forth. Was Uncle Alfie in the mine when the cave-in occurred? What about Uncle Paul? Was that the mine he was working in now? In the end, no family members were among the 15 who died in that fateful event. But the incident served as a reminder of why we lived in Calgary, where my dad had escaped a life in mines and sawmills, finding employment with the telephone company. We considered ourselves lucky.

Hopefully you had a good poul-try consumption day and just a note; once that L-tryptophan from the turkey wears off and you are feeling perky again, we will always welcome you with open arms to our fitness centre and swimming pool for the recovery period. I’m right there with you.

Some exciting things are happening around here in the short term. Our second annual Health and Wellness Fair runs 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Oct. 18. The count last week had over 35 exhibitors, with new ones being added every day, plus a myriad of demonstrations ranging from doctor talks and fit-ness demos right through to chil-dren’s health advice and quit smok-ing strategies. The Interior Health Authority will also be here doing free blood pressure and glucose screenings, plus there is a beginner curling clinic starting at 10 a.m. There will be a bunch of door prizes but here’s an insider tip for those that read my column (all five of you): the price of admission to the fair ($3 adults, $2 students and $1 children) also includes admission to the entire facility during the fair hours.

But wait, there’s more! This will also be the debut of our Wibit in the lap pool. What in the heck is Wibit, you ask? You just might have to come to the Health and Wellness

Fair or come in for a swim on Oct. 18. Or you could Google it and find out it is an inflatable sports park made up of interlocking or stand-alone modules that float in the pool, which you climb, slide and jump all over it. We have a few modules and from watching the guards test it out, it’s a total blast!

A couple other interesting events the same day as the Health and Wellness Fair is, first, the Household Hazardous Waste Roundup, which runs from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. in our park-ing lot. This is the time to clean out your garden shed, garage and under the kitchen sink to get rid of toxic chemicals, such as pesticides, oil and

cleaners safely. This also includes all kinds of light bulbs and tubes (check out www.rdck.ca for a complete list) but remember the keyword “house-hold”, so no spent nuclear fuel rods

or 45-gallon drums of glow-ing liquids!

Once you have loaded up on info and educated your-self at the Health and Wellness Fair and taken all your weird yellowish con-tainers of goo to the Household Hazardous Waste Roundup, why not take in the Town of Creston recreation trails and equip-

ment grand opening in celebrating the opening of the newish and recently paved trails, as well as out-door fitness equipment. This takes place at 2 p.m. at 1414 Cedar St. (near the dog park) and I actually had the pleasure of walking the trail the other day after a meeting at the library, where one end is. It’s pretty neat to see buildings and scenery from a perspective that you normally don’t get, plus the trail is smooth, flat and totally accessible. Lots of options for you to do on a Saturday!

Neil Ostafichuk is the recreation supervisor at the Creston and District Community Complex.

The annual Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) conference wrapped up on Sept. 26. This event sees delegates from every local gov-ernment in the province come togeth-er to learn and discuss issues important to our communities. Not only do they work with each other throughout the con-ference, but they also work with those of us in provincial govern-ment, and so I was also in atten-dance this year.

To be sure, the relationship between local and provincial gov-ernments is an important one. It is defined in the country’s consti-tution, as well as day-to-day practice. When disagreements between the two arise, staying professional and respect-ful ensures the sustainability of that relationship.

For the first time in my experience, I saw the Liberal government break with their practice of collaboration and antagonize municipalities at this event. The big issues: ferry fares, employee compensation and giving provincial tax money to a town with no people.

First, a recent report commissioned by the UBCM found that the Liberal government’s continuous increase in coastal ferry fares has had negative

impacts on B.C.’s economy. Namely, due to skyrocketing fares between 2003 and 2013, BC Ferries lost out on a 19 per cent growth in passenger vol-ume, which would have added $2.3

billion to the provincial GDP, and $609 million to federal, provincial and local government tax revenues.

The Liberal response was not to say, “That’s more than we thought based on our research. We will look into this.” Rather, The minister responsible, Todd Stone, said the report was “unsubstanti-ated and sensational,” and called the UBCM “irresponsible.” Not collabora-tive words coming from a minister of the Crown.

Then, the Liberals released their own report on municipal employee compensation. You would think that they would work with the UBCM on such an issue that directly impacts

them and the way in which they can spend your tax dollars. But they didn’t.

Rather, Premier Christy Clark stood in front of assembled delegates and

chastised them for their compen-sation levels decided in collec-tive bargaining processes. Moreover, not all municipalities have the same wages for staff. Vancouver’s chief administra-tive officer has a higher pay than Nelson’s and way more respon-sibilities, too. Lumping all local governments, big and small, into the same situation is what I would call irresponsible.

Interestingly, while Christy Clark points fingers at local governments for how they spend tax money, she is giving over $1 million of your taxes to the fake town of Jumbo over the next five years. No one lives there, so Jumbo’s mayor and council provide no services to people. They just pass building permits and zoning that the region doesn’t want. The UBCM saw through Clark’s doublespeak as they voted to oppose the funding of fake towns like Jumbo.

I think our provincial government can do better than what we saw at this year’s UBCM.

Michelle Mungall

To the Editor:(Open letter to Nelson-Creston MLA

Michelle Mungall)I am informing you of a dilemma

affecting the seniors who live in mobile home parks and pay pad rent. Every spring, the landlord gives notice of the rent increase up to as much as 3.95 per cent under the rules of the Residential Tenancy Act. This is a digital com-pounding percentage over the previous years’ interest, which was compounded on top of the year before that.

In March 2013, we had a six per cent increase imposed upon us for extra maintenance. Over the years, these compounding interest rates are really starting to add up. Given time, they will exceed our Canada pensions. Come spring of 2015, the increase will exceed 25 per cent of our pension income.

These increases appear to be a form of legalized extortion as opposed to a flat rate of perhaps $7 annually, which makes more sense. As it stands at pres-ent, these compounding increases are detrimental to our lifestyle, as they are eating away at our fixed income, leav-

ing us to live in poverty, which is detri-mental to the local economy.

This poses a liability situation as this unconstitutional practice has been overlooked and condoned by the past governments, opposition parties and the other intelligent bodies at the ten-ancy branch for over a decade now.

The big question is: Being our MLA, what are you going to do about it? Or do you require my input on that also?

Michael BunnCreston

To the Editor:These words were spoken by profes-

sor Pitrim A. Sorokin (1882-1968) in the mid-1950s, and they are even more rel-evant today than they were in that day:

“Man the Killer is again at large. ‘The worst of the beasts’ once more prowls on this planet, more insane than ever before, more destructive than the greatest earthquake, and more cunning than the devil. Carefully polished, sci-entific up to his fingertips, brotherly-humanitarian in his civilized looks, big hearted in his highfalutin talks, Man

the Killer … has become the Death of Man’s Body, the Death of Man’s Spirit … and the Death of Man’s Beautiful Dreams. …

“In the 20th century, the destroyer’s henchmen have been promoted to the enviable positions of monarchs, presi-dents and absolute dictators in the empires, of the high prelates and digni-taries in the religious bodies, of the powerful leaders of labour and agricul-ture, of the presidents of the greatest universities and foundations, of the potentates of the richest business cor-porations, of the dictators of the press, radio, television and movies, of the decisive moulders of public opinion, even of the most influential moral authorities.

“And especially striking is the suc-cess of his ethics of murder. He strong-ly disapproves of the killing of only one or a few individuals. He calls such actions “felonious crimes” and merci-lessly punishes their criminal perpetra-tors.

“In contrast to that, [he] is most enthusiastic about the killing of thou-sands and millions. He calls these mass slaughters by the reverent names of ‘patriotic wars’, ‘heroic revolutions,’ ‘noblest crusades of liberation’ … all honourable and saintly, all blessed by God, sanctified by ethics, justified by law and glorified by the arts and sci-ences.”

This man founded the department of sociology at Harvard, and was elect-ed president of the American Sociological Association in 1965.

The study of health isn’t new to acupuncturist Zea Friesen, who “grew

up with a fairly health-con-scious mother,” but for her,

Western medicine just wasn’t good enough.

To some extent, she said, it works best for temporary relief of symp-toms or in a first-aid situa-tion. But older methods — including acupuncture — have benefits, too, perhaps more.

“Chinese medicine really focuses on preventative med-icine and treating the whole person, looking at the under-lying issues, going to the root of problems and helping the person recover to a natural state of health,” said Friesen, who owns Balance Point Acupuncture, which recently relocated from downtown to the Creston Zendo.

Acupuncture, she said, can be used to treat everything from pain to addiction.

“It’s a pretty versatile medi-cine,” she said.

Friesen used to work as a hospital nutrition aide, where she came across “horrible food, like pureed veal and Boost.

“I was really awakened to practices there that weren’t beneficial to people,” she said. “It really helped me pursue the other path.”

The Winnipeg, Man., native moved to the West

Kootenay in 1997, where she began attending Nelson’s Academy of Classical Oriental Sciences, from which she graduated eight years ago.

While there, Friesen stud-ied massage, nutrition and chi gong, taking six years to complete her schooling because she was taking both the acupuncture and herbal programs, both three years, at the same time.

The school was her first exposure to acupuncture, through founder Dr. Warren Fisher.

“I knew nothing about acu-puncture,” Friesen said. “I’d never received it before. … He really helped me. I was strug-gling with energy and depres-sion. He totally shifted that.”

After graduation, she worked in various Nelson clinics, and also joined with a few other acupuncturists to start the Nelson Community Acupuncture clinic four years ago, offering affordable treat-ment to groups. In November 2012, Friesen moved to Creston and started Balance Point Acupuncture, filling a greater need than there was in Nelson.

With traditional Chinese medicine taking a different view than Western medicine, Friesen tends to explain the process in Western terms, making it that much easier for patients to enjoy what is a relaxing treatment, which offers a natural high as it releases endorphins.

“Generally, people have more of a sense of well-being that lasts several days,” she said. “But it doesn’t last forev-er. That’s why you need to come back — just like when you take a course of medicine for two or three weeks.”

Of course, in this case, that sense of well-bring comes from the insertion of a needle — many, depending on the course of treatment — but that’s not something for poten-tial patients to worry about. It can range from feeling like a mosquito bite to an electrical twinge to aching, all of which are temporary.

“It just shows me the point’s being activated, then it settles down,” Friesen said.

To make the treatment a positive experience, she’s happy to explain what’s going on if it gives patients peace of mind.

“I don’t want to push any-one out of their comfort zone to a point where it’s not a good experience for them,” she said. “I definitely take a lot of care to try to put that into my technique.”

And at the core of the acu-puncture treatment, Friesen is simply helping her patients to heal themselves.

“It’s really about activating a person’s own healing energy or life force,” Friesen said. “It’s always there and I’m just tap-ping into it. It still amazes me how people heal themselves.

“I never say I do the heal-ing. I have to access the points you need to do the healing.”

From We Day to Tree Day, Earth Day and birthdays, Bird Day, Bean Day, I Want You To Be Happy Day, and even Compliment Your Mirror Day (every July 3, you are encouraged to “take a step back, and examine your reflec-tion. This is you, the only you, and the best you there is”), it seems that we have left no stone unturned in finding a day to commemo-rate just about everything.

October is — as I am sure you are already aware — Canadian Library Month (not to be confused with School Library Month in April or the American National Library Week). And even though we have to share October with Women’s History Month, I think you’ll agree that being given an entire month to celebrate libraries accords a certain gravitas to the rec-ognition, a pride of place granted to only the most exemplary of public institutions. In other words, we get a month, the birds only get a day — na na na na na!

In all seriousness, for those of us who have devoted our careers to the democratic ideal of the free public library, this is as a good a time as any to reflect on the changing role of the library, and how we can continue to meet the challenges of an increasingly diverse and tech-nology-based society.

While the earliest public libraries date back hundreds of years, it was primarily during the late 19th and early 20th centuries that public libraries became widespread in towns and cities across the western world. The rise of libraries built on the establishment of democratic sys-tems of government, in parallel with the devel-opment of public education, public hospitals, civil police forces and other basic social institu-tions that we now mostly take for granted.

The core idea behind the public library is simple: to provide free access to the widest pos-sible range of ideas and knowledge to all citi-zens, regardless of economic background, race, age or gender. This idea is central to a system of government in which all citizens are entrusted to vote, stand for public office and contribute to the decision-making process at every level of society. Without access to all the information, how can we make the right decisions?

Most of the library’s services and programs support this core idea. We offer early literacy programming because reading is a prerequisite to accessing knowledge and information and participating fully in the social decision-making process. We offer access to computers and free computer help because so much information is now only available on the Internet. We offer not only “information”, but also stories because, as Albert Camus wisely observed, “Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.”

Like all of our social contracts — public education, public health care, police and fire services — information comes at a cost, but as another wise person once said, “If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.” The fact is, up to a certain point, pooling our resources to fund core social services is a net benefit for all of us.

The Book Drop

Aaron Francis

I am very proud to work for an institution that is truly inclusive, where you can expect the same level of service and respect regard-less of wealth, background, age or gender. I am also proud to work for an institution that is prepared to stand up for intellectual free-dom, and your right to read and learn about ideas no matter how unpopular these ideas may be. And I am proud and grateful to serve such an extraordinarily talented and compassionate community in this beautiful valley.

Happy Library Month, everyone!Aaron Francis is the chief librarian at the

Creston Valley Public Library.

Taking a closer look at the seasons of our lifeAutumn has been described

as “the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness”. This year, we have indeed enjoyed a sea-

son of mellow fruitfulness, golden sunshine and an array of autumn splendour still gain-ing in intensity and colour.

By the time autumn arrives, Nature’s main purpose has been almost fulfilled for this year. She seems to give a huge sigh of

relief as the colours intensify through the warm days and cool nights, ani-mals begin donning their warm coats and the birds prepare for their long holiday in a warmer climate. Nature has put on her best show and is pre-paring for her winter rest.

The Earth, recognizing the signs of this change of command, pre-pares to usher in the next season’s

leader. Winter seems more power-ful, and he sometimes seems to be harsh in his effort to create the bal-ance between the seasons.

So it is with our lives. As children, we are nurtured and learn how to survive and thrive in our world. The first few years we learn how to move our limbs, how to react to what is going on and how to understand it all, and find out how we fit into the scheme of this world. These forma-tive years of nurturing and learning are vital to the rest of our lives. It is crucial that we understand our potential in relation to others and realize our immense capabilities as part of humanity.

As teenagers we discover our range of possibilities, our boundaries, our strengths and weaknesses, as we strive to find the balance between exploring who we are and how we can express ourselves positively and meaningfully. Some have difficulty finding their strengths and accepting the boundaries and choose either to adapt or rebel. Choosing to rebel against boundaries is often not the easiest or wisest path to take; it can be painful and injurious to our lives.

This is the spring of life and is an important balancing act shaping how

we form and the kind of life we shall live. Sometimes the paths we take are not in balance and we struggle until we understand our mistakes and hopefully rectify them before they become too deeply engrained.

From our mid-twenties, we are beginning to stabilize as summer comes. We have by now more or less established our course in life and we

branch out through edu-cation and experience, and begin to mature, marrying and starting a family of our own. If we have developed a cre-ative balance, then we can handle the storms, the bumps, with grace and comparative ease.

As autumn arrives, we take on a glow, the

rewards from a life of giving, sharing and exploring. We see our life with a deep sense of gratitude as we watch our own children begin to branch out, learning how to balance in their own unique way. Nature slows down and birds prepare for their long flights. The colours fade and leaves fall to become the comforters and blankets for the next generation, the next season. We recognize our role as the Advisors and Helpers to maintain the balance, between expression of who we are and how we must all work together to create a productive and nurturing community.

As winter arrives, with its mascu-line strength, we learn to weather the storms, and recognize our place in the background now, the balanced foundation for the new lives, the new world as it unfolds. We maintain our strength and knowledge to aid the new generation in remembering the underlying and balancing power of respect and unconditional love for all life. Then our cycle is complete. We can rest in peace.

The Voice of ExperienceChristine Munkerud

From page 7You might ask, “OK, what would the NDP

do?” (Sometimes, when I do my job as an Opposition member of our government by hold-ing them to account, I get asked that). Fair ques-tion, and the answers can be found in our 2013 election platform.

However, on a day-to-day basis with three years until the next election, the more important question is what the Liberals will do. Will they govern with democratic ethics and for the bene-fit of all British Columbians, or will they seek out ways to benefit their friends and corporate donors, and antagonize anyone who challenges their decisions? I hope for the former, but experi-ence says it will be the latter. We can do better than that in our province.

Barry and Judy Freeman have been leading Tai Chi classes with seniors at the Therapeutic Activation Program for Seniors for many years. Slow, deliberate repetitive movements based on co-ordination and relaxation rather

than muscular tension typify Tai Chi. Judging by the regular weekly atten-dance at TAPS, it must be worthwhile for our seniors, who range in age and physical abilities.

When I asked Barry for input on the column this month, he gave me an excerpt of an article entitled, “Tai Chi Named as Perfect Exercise for the Elderly”. With the popularity of Tai Chi around the world for all age groups, I continued reading out of curiosity to hear what the authors had to say about proclaiming the specific benefits for an aging population.

In a Hong Kong study, researchers found that older people who regularly performed the traditional “mind and body” technique were less likely to

suffer high blood pressure and were physically stronger. They assessed 65 elderly subjects, 29 recruited from local clubs, who had each practiced the technique for at least 90 minutes a week for three years and 36 controls

with no such experience. The Tai Chi subjects were superior in almost all medical observations. Pulse measurements showed improved expansion and contrac-tion of the arteries — known as arterial com-pliance, an important indicator of heart health — which was 40-44 per

cent higher in the Tai Chi group, and they had greater than average muscle strength and increased knee muscle strength.

My Tai Chi instructor, Lin Martin, a couple of years ago asked us to con-sider how vital this would be for maintaining our ability to get up and down from chairs and of course toi-lets! Dr. William Tsang from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, who led the research. said that the improve-ments, especially in arterial compli-ance, could have resulted from the combination of aerobic training, stretching, mental concentration and calm during Tai Chi movement. Thanks, Barry and Judy, for your vol-unteer work all these years!

Krafty Krony pies continue to be a popular item, especially with this sea-son’s fruits coming in and our freezers filling with donated fruit. Remember to mark your calendar for a KK tea and craft sale, along with a special teacup silent auction and sale of “upcycled” cups on Nov. 1 at TAPS (402 22nd Ave S.). Yes, pies will be available, and a diverse list of beauti-ful and practical items handmade by the Kronys and TAPS seniors will be on display, as well as goods made by other vendors joining us for the day. Proceeds from the Kronys are donated to TAPS for its ongoing programs.

For October and November, a local history series will kick off with a weekly guest speaker, and topics including geology of the Creston Valley, First Nations of the Creston Valley and geography.

The TAPS weekly choir and band, along with so many others. enjoyed being able to sing at the outdoor piano at the walkthrough park on a couple of sunny days. Thanks to the Creston Rotary Club for making this great addi-tion to our street life!

Come visit us at our booth at the Health and Wellness Fair on Oct. 18 at the Creston and District Community complex. We’d love to meet you!

ELECTION 2014

This is the first in a series of profiles on the five candidates run-ning for the position of Creston mayor on Nov. 15.

BY LORNE ECKERSLEYAdvance Staff

Looking healthy and revital-ized after six years away from local politics, Tom Mann said he wants to return to public life with a new perspective.

The 18-year director for Regional District of Central Kootenay Area C didn’t leave the job without a fight. He lost to current director Larry Binks, who has won his third term by acclamation, by 14 votes.

“Those 14 votes were a gift,” he said. “It wasn’t until I lost that I realized how my health had deteriorated. I probably wouldn’t be here today if I hadn’t been given the time to actually face my health prob-lems.”

Not long after he was defeat-ed, Mann found himself in

Calgary’s Foothills Medical Centre, being readied for heart surgery.

“Since 2008 I have been allowing doctors to heal my body and my soul, and to heal my perspective on life,” he said. “When you spend 18 years in politics you sometimes forget that there is real life. And I forgot my prime reason for being in the job was to repre-sent the people of Area C.”

Mann dismisses the notion that a Wynndel resident might be out of place running to become the mayor of Creston.

“This is our town,” he says of non-residents. “It is the hub of the valley and we all have a big stake in it.”

“I am satisfied with my Area C director. Creston is my town and I am not necessarily happy with what is happening here. When I was approached to run my first response was to say no, but then I could feel the fire burning in my belly.”

What really has him excited,

he said, is that he is running as part of a team that includes six candidates for town council. (He wouldn’t say who they are at this time. “This is headlines now, story at 6,” he laughed.)

“This is a new way of doing things where we can guarantee outcomes.”

Although he and his team — Action Creston — has yet to reveal the fine points of his platform, Mann said the gen-eral outline includes fiscal responsibility, downtown revi-talization, dealing with the B.C. public sector compensa-tion report released by the pro-vincial government last month, improving relationships with the RDCK, transparency and accountability, and leadership and responsibility.

“To me, individuals acting on their own have been not the solution, but the problem,” he said. “There has been no com-mon goal among councillors, so staff puts the agenda for-ward. Council fiddles with the

edges of the budget and then passes it.

A little horse sense can go a long way when it comes to treat-ing people with mental health challenges.

Creston social worker Connie Zibin is inviting the public to a free Nov. 1 demonstration of how equine assisted learning and equine assisted psychotherapy works.

Zibin, with her background in special education, a master’s degree in social work and a love of horses, has established Healing Hearts Horse-assisted Psychotherapy at her ranch on Hurry Road. She has travelled extensively to become a certified EAGALA (Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association) specialist and is currently certifying in the Gestalt Equine Coaching Method, too.

With 27 years of practice work-ing with individuals and families in the context of social services, Zibin has become a believer in the power of horses.

“You can’t hide your feelings from a horse,” she said. “It knows.”

Surprisingly, equine therapy does not involve actual riding. Instead, the client remains firmly rooted on the ground, learn-ing to work with and trust the much larger animal.

“We don’t compete with the Therapeutic Riding Program in any way, or even with other forms of coun-selling,” she said. “In fact, equine therapy can be used to supple-ment other counsel-ing. It can be especial-ly valuable when a person gets ‘stuck’ and needs help in moving forward with their treatment.”

Zibin works closely with Natal ie Zarchukoff, a longtime community support worker with people with developmental disabilities, who is also a certified equine spe-cialist through EAGALA. Several years ago, Zibin envi-sioned that she could combine horse work with therapy and she returned to her home-town to implement a practice on a nine-acre ranch.

Healing Hearts has six horses, and with their strong back-ground with horses, Zibin and Zarchukoff have found a model for therapy that makes sense to them.

“The practice incorporates horses for emotional growth and learning,” she said. “Each session is taught in collabora-tion with a mental health professional (Zibin) and an equine

Horses helping people with mental health issues

specialist (Zarchukoff). Participants will learn about themselves and others by participating in activities with the hors-es, and then processing their thoughts, beliefs, behaviours and patterns with both specialists. Ongoing therapy

through coaching between equine ses-sions is incorporated.”

To learn more, the free demonstration will be held 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Nov. 1, at Bend in the River Ranch at 807 Hurry Road. For more information, call Zibin or Zarchukoff at 250-428-1742.

drivewayBy Rob SassContrary to general perception, most classic cars aren’t fragile flowers. In fact, many are anvil-tough, particularly American cars of the 1950s and 1960s, built with real Pennsylvania steel and very little plastic. But even these rolling bank vaults can be seriously screwed up by these five things:Non-use: This one is really is counterintuitive. When classic cars come to mind for many, the image of the trailer queen or museum piece looms large; in fact, most people think that these are the best cared-for cars.  In actuality, they often turn out to be the most problematic cars when they are finally driven. Non-use is actually abuse — seals dry out and start to leak; gas gets stale and turns to varnish; batteries corrode when not removed; and tires get flat spots. Cars that are used and maintained on a regular basis, on the other hand, are often the happiest and most reliable old cars.Improper storage/rodents: This goes along with the above. Fail-ure to drain fuel or use a stabilizer, not using jack stands, and making certain that anti-freeze is up to snuff all contribute to storage-related deterioration. But perhaps the most destructive force has four teeth and a naked tail — rats and mice, the same rodents that wiped out

half the population of Europe by carrying Bubonic plague, can really mess with your classic car. They chew upholstery

and insulation to make nests (in which they pee, poop and reproduce, not necessarily in that order), and worst of all, they chew on wiring harnesses where it isn’t apparent until something smokes or catches fire from behind  the dash of your 1965 Mustang. Road Salt: Most everyone who has taken chemistry knows that the reaction between Sodium Chloride and steel yields iron oxide, more commonly known as rust. But few people truly realize how quickly the damage is done. Just one drive on a wet salty road will give your classic an ugly coating of surface rust on anything on the underside that is not well protected, like suspension parts, exhaust and even the frame. A season or two that lets salty mud penetrate the nooks and crannies of your car will almost certainly cause visible rust to erupt. And don’t think you’re immune because your car is fiberglass, there’s plenty of steel to rot away under the pretty plastic panels of your 1972 Corvette Stingray. Conversely, getting caught in the rain every now and then isn’t death for your classic, as long as nothing like carpets or trunk mats get soaked and stay wet. Some of the cleanest and most rust-free old cars we’ve seen come from the damp Pacific Northwest, where it snows little and road salt isn’t used.Old Tires: Most vintage cars don’t see 15,000 miles of use each year

and, often, totally unsafe tires can look deceptively sound. In addition to tread wear, age, dry rot, flat spots and UV exposure can render tires unsafe. About six or seven years should be tops in terms of tire life, regardless of how the tires may look. A blowout or a thrown tread can not only threaten your life, it can severely damage your car severely as I found out first hand when an otherwise fine-looking tire threw a tread and put a football-sized dent in the lower quarter panel of a formerly pristine 1977 Datsun 280Z.Bad driving habits: The list of things that you can do to shorten the life of the major systems of a classic — from engine, transmission to differential — is long and beyond the scope of this article. But perhaps the most destructive thing you can do to a vintage car is to not let it warm up properly. I’ve witnessed tons of people who should know better start up a cold car and immediately zing it to the redline with the first shift. It’s painful to watch and even more painful to real-ize the harm that’s being done to the engine. Always drive gently until the car has reached normal operating temperature (usually around the mid-point of the temperature gauge).Rob Sass is the vice-president of content for Hagerty Insurance.

From page 14“It’s time that council steps up

and takes responsibility for their own decisions.”

Fiscal changes will be made, he said, if Action Creston has its way.

“We will cut taxes,” he said, describing staff costs as a “run-away train of compensation that somebody needs to take control of.”

There is a risk, he admits, that comes with running as part of a team.

“If we aren’t successful in elect-ing at least four of us (to form a majority on council) we could become another voice in the wilder-ness,” he said. “If we are unsuccess-ful as a group, for the candidates

elected from Action Creston the commitment will still be there, but we can’t guarantee we can make the necessary changes.”

Outside of larger cities, team slates have not caught on in the province.

“This is a new way of doing things where we can guarantee outcomes and we know the whole province will be watching what happens here. It will change the face of politics in B.C.”

While Action Creston shares core values, individuals will still have a voice.

“We will allow individual councillors to bring their own res-olutions forth for debate, just as they do at the provincial and fed-eral levels” he said.

“But by sharing core values we are combining the best of two

BY THE NUMBERS — When Creston town council saw informa-tion about other communities it decided to compare Creston staffing numbers and salary costs with them. Mayor Ron Toyota said the compari-sons can be "apples and oranges" in some cases. Nelson, for instance, has its own police depart-ment and power company, while other communities have their own unique circumstanc-es. "But it does give us some sense of where we stand," Toyota said.

ways of doing things.”Voters who attend election

forums will see a change immediately, he said.

“One person will speak for our group on each question.

We won’t waste voters’ time by having seven of us step forward to say the same thing. We are running as a slate of individuals under a common direction.”

The candidates’ affiliation will not be identified on elec-tion ballots. Current law allows only names to be listed on local government election ballots.

Thunder Cats beat Kelowna, Grand

Forks on weekendBY BRIAN LAWRENCE

Advance Editor

The Creston Valley Thunder Cats bounced back from a loss a week earlier with two wins on the weekend over the Kelowna Chiefs and Grand Forks Border Bruins.

The wins helped the Thunder Cats remain in fourth place, with nine points, in the Eddie Mountain Division of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL), ahead of the Columbia Valley Rockies, but behind the Fernie Ghostriders, Kimberley Dynamiters and Golden Rockets, with 17, 16 and 15 points, respectively.

“It was certainly an offence-first kind of night,” head coach Dubois said of Friday’s 5-4 win over the Chiefs. “We took the lead a few times and gave it back, and ultimately took control in the third period.”

Scoring started with two Thunder Cats goals in the first period, by Nicolas Kovacik and Connor Kidd (power play) in the first five minutes. The Chiefs tied the score in the last half of the period.

Thunder Cat McConnell Kimmett responded with a goal in the first minute of the second period, and Ethan Rusnack — who played for the Thunder Cats from 2012-2014 — tying the score with 8:48 remaining.

Lien Miller-Jeannotte and Dalton Dubetz (power play) scored for the Thunder Cats early in the third period, before a Kelowna goal narrowed the Thunder Cats’ lead to 5-4. A sixth goal scored by the Thunder Cats was disallowed, but the Creston team was able to kill two minutes without letting the Chiefs tie the score.

The game was more than just a simple win — it was the first home win of the season, and Carson Cartwright and Kidd, the latter of which earned three assists in addition to his goal, were key to the win, as was the power-play crew breaking “out of

a bit of a slump” with a different setup.

“That was the first game we tried to execute that,” said Dubois. “We were happy with the results there.”

On Saturday, the Thunder Cats hit the road to visit the Grand Forks Border Bruins, resulting in a 3-1 victory. It was the Thunder Cats’ best full 60-minute effort so far this season, said Dubois.

The Thunder Cats had a more solid defence than they did against Kelowna, he added, and played more in the Grand Forks defensive zone than in their own, making 55 shots as opposed to the Border Bruins’ 25.

As with the previous game, the Thunder Cats scored first, with Tyler Fyfe’s goal coming nearly 19 minutes into the first period. The Border Bruins tied the score about 30 seconds later.

In the second period, Logan Wullum scored the game-winner with 4:30 remaining, and Cartwright scored an empty-nett-er with five seconds left in the third.

The game marked Wullum and Fyfe’s first KIJHL goals, and Whitecourt, Alta., native Mitchell Martel’s first game in goal.

“That was a good debut for him, as well,” said Dubois.

Coming up, the Thunder Cats play two away games, visiting the Kimberley Dynamiters on Saturday and the Columbia Valley Rockies on Oct. 21.

The Thunder Cats lost their season-opener in Kimberley; they had the lead in the third period, but a couple of individual mis-takes led to Dynamiters goals.

“I know we can play with them, but it’s a case of having to play a fairly mistake-free game on their big ice,” said Dubois.

And Tuesday’s game will be their first against the division-trailing Columbia Valley Rockies, but the team can’t take that team’s weak showing for granted.

“Every time you play a team in your division, it’s a chance to feel each other out,” he said.

Endurocross racer fifth in Calgary

BY KatelYn Dingmanthe Free Press

FERNIE — Last month, local endurocross enthusiast Florian Willer tackled the Red Bull Rocks & Logs course in Calgary, placing fifth overall in the vet class.

The 41-year-old has been racing endurocross — a hybrid motorcycle competition where riders race over obstacles such as hard rock sections and wooden sections — for a short period of time. In fact, he said this endurocross competition was his first.

“I’m pretty happy about fifth place,” the rider, who is used to rac-ing cross-country said. “It’s a lot tougher and a lot more exhausting.”

He went on to say, “You fall over a lot, especially in the beginning.”

But practicing regularly at dirtbike trails near Lake Koocanusa and the Crowsnest Pass helped Willer get accustomed to riding the bike and tackling different obstacles.

He noted that several local riders continue to use mountain biking and hiking trails not designed for motorized vehicles.

“It’s really putting a bad reputa-tion on dirtbiking,” he said, adding that he would really like to discour-age any riders from using those trails in order to avoid tension between motorized and non-motor-ized recreation.

As for the race, Willer noted that the competitions had spectators right next to the action, watching as

riders fell off their bikes and got right back on them to complete the challenging obstacles.

“It’s great to watch,” he said.Ghostrider Motorsports, Snowy

Peaks RV and Park Place Lodge sponsor the athlete; sponsors he said make races like the one in Calgary possible.

“It’s really nice to have some local support,” Willer noted.

W. SlobodaEndurocross athlete Florian Willer placed 5th at the Red Bull Rocks & Logs course in Calgary.

The Regional District of Central Kootenay now expects renovations to the Nelson and district aquatic centre to last from April to December of next year.

“We reviewed the renovations in public meetings for our recreation master plan this past spring, and I think those who attended could see that fixing this facility is crucial,” said Joe Chirico, community ser-vices manager for the RDCK.

The pool will be closed during the work, but the adjoining arena, fitness centre, meeting rooms and offices will remain open.

Facility pass holders who have already purchased a pass that expires after April 1 will have the option to receive a pro-rated credit or refund while the aquatic centre is closed.

Fixes will include new mechani-cal systems, electrical panels and equipment, a relocated lifeguard station, new sauna, pool decks, tiles and water proofing membranes. The maximum borrowing for all renovations is $4.5 million. The regional district expects the invest-ment to last at least 40 years.

The building opened in 1975 and was renovated in 2005 when the Nelson and district community

complex, which adjoins it, was built. It was closed for six months last year after some ceiling tiles col-lapsed. The entire ceiling was replaced at a cost of nearly $800,000.

The regional district is in discus-sions with pool user groups to explore alternatives to the aquatic centre while renovations take place. One of them, the Nelson Neptunes swim club, has said it risks losing another competitive season unless the work is delayed until July, when they can begin swimming outdoors.

However, Chirico said a quantity surveyor has estimated costs will go up one per cent for each month the project is delayed and the best tendering period for competitive bids is January and February.

“The sooner we get started, the less we’ll spend on construction materials costs due to inflation, and the greater likelihood we’ll have of finding an excellent contractor to take this on,” Chirico said.

“There’s no doubt that construc-tion of any kind disrupts the commu-nity’s use of our recreation facilities,” said Ramona Faust, chair of the Nelson and District Recreation Commission. “Getting started on this project as soon as possible means we’re that much closer to enjoying a more reliable and functional aquatic centre for years to come.”

Renovations to Nelson pool expected to take eight months

CRESTON-KOOTENAY FOUNDATION

The Creston-Kootenay Foundation hosted an afternoon reception on Sept. 19 to honour the distinguished service of two of its founding board members, Larry Brierley and Peter Hepher. The event, which was held at the Creston Hotel’s conference centre, was attended by local politi-cians, representatives from many local non-profit groups, and past and present board mem-bers.

During the event, the vital role that both Brierley and Hepher have played in the forma-tion of the Creston-Kootenay Foundation was celebrated. Brierley has been chair of the founda-tion from its very inception and has been the driving force behind its continued growth. Hepher has had many roles within the founda-tion but perhaps most significantly, he has used his considerable talent as a writer to promote the Creston-Kootenay Foundation in the local and regional press.

“They have been instrumental in creating a legacy not only for us but for generations to come in this community stretching from Yahk through to Riondel,” said current board member Heather Suttie. “Under their leadership, the Creston-Kootenay Foundation now has endow-ment funds of over one million dollars, giving it an ever-increasing ability to support local non-profit initiatives for the benefit of our residents.“

A number of speakers at the event, including past directors Julie Ewashen and Rita Scott, echoed these sentiments, thanking Brierley and Hepher for helping fulfill the vision of a com-munity endowment fund.

Established in 2005, the Creston-Kootenay Foundation is a non-profit organization created by and for the people of the Creston Valley and surrounding area. The foundation takes pride in enabling generous citizens to enhance the quali-ty of life in their community and obtain their own charitable objectives.

The funds held by the foundation have grown from $328,000 in 2005 to over $1,000,000 in 2014. The interest from these funds has allowed the Creston-Kootenay Foundation to distribute grants from 2005-2012 totalling $193,000. In 2014 alone, the Creston-Kootenay Foundation distrib-uted grants of approximately $35,000 to local non-profit groups.

HARBOUR PUBLISHING

Join Grant Lawrence and sing-er Jill Barber for an evening of entertainment at the Creston Valley Public Library at 7 p.m. Oct. 22.

Lawrence will share stories from his books, show slides and a short film, and talk about his con-flicted — yet ultimately positive — relationship with hockey. Jill Barber, a celebrated jazz singer, will also perform.

In addition to being a CBC host, an eminent indie-rock alumnus and the award-win-ning author of the best-selling book, Adventures in Solitude: What Not to Wear to a Nude Potluck and Other Stories from Desolation Sound, Lawrence has another claim to fame: As a baby, he spent part of a plane ride from Toronto to Montreal on Bobby Orr’s lap. Grant, his parents, Orr and the rest of the Canadian hockey team were on their way to Game 3 of the famous Summit Series between the Soviet Union and Canada in 1972, during the height of the

Cold War. It was at this tender age that Lawrence’s lifelong entanglement with hockey began.

Lawrence’s most recent book, The Lonely End of the Rink: Confessions of a Reluctant Goalie, is an ingenious combination of hockey lore, Canadian music history and personal anecdotes. The book instantly hit the national bestseller list on its release in October 2013. It is a hilarious account of hockey’s inf luence throughout Lawrence’s life, first when he was a knee brace-wearing bully magnet, tormented by the hock-ey-obsessed jocks at his school, then as a rock star touring the country with his band, The Smugglers, and finally, when he became a CBC broadcaster and journalist who found striking connections between the worlds of hockey and music.

Lawrence’s first book, Adventures in Solitude, is full of tales of his summers spent in Desolation Sound, where going to a neighbour’s potluck meant being met with hugs from port-

ly naked hippies, and where Russell the Hermit’s school of life (boating, fishing and rock ’n’ roll) influenced Lawrence to pursue a career in music. Shortly after it was released in 2010, Adventures in Solitude was nominated for multiple awards and won the Bill Duthie Booksellers Choice Award. It quickly hit the No. 1 spot on the B.C. bestseller list and stayed there many months.

The Lonely End of the Rinkmay differ from Adventures in Solitude in that is has hockey stick-wielding bullies rather than an octopus armed with a wrench or scenes of locker-room nudity instead of the au natural displays of Desolation Sound, but both books are full of Lawrence’s signature story-telling ability and side-splitting narration.

This free event is presented by the Kootenay Library Federation. For more information about Lawrence and his books, go to www.grantlaw-rence.ca, and to find out more about Barber and listen to music samples, visit www.jillbarber.com.
