Special Olympics team earns gold

PCSS play offering comedy and dramaBY BRIAN LAWRENCE

Advance Editor

Prince Charles Secondary School drama teacher Brooke Douma has never been one to shy away from serious subjects, and that hasn’t changed with the upcoming production of Class Dismissed.

The play focuses on Jonathan Banks, a high school English teacher who, tired of his students’ lackadaisical attitude toward their education, decides to hold his five most troublesome students hos-tage at gunpoint.

“He just gets frustrated because he’s a teacher who gives up his life to teach his kids,” said Douma. “He

wants to teach them a lesson. It’s not really about school, it’s about life.”

The play — written by Emmy-nominated producer, director and writer Craig J. Nevius when he was in high school — is a bit more lighthearted than Douma’s 2013’s production of Anne Frank and Me, which offered a gripping remind-er of the Holocaust, and the som-bre subject matter combined with humorous moments was well suited to the 22 cast members.

“I thought there was a lot of opportunity for the kids charac-ter-wise,” said Douma, who is directing. “They get to work with comedy and serious acting.”

Five Creston athletes returned home from Kamloops on Sunday with gold medals in the Special Olympics BC Winter Games 2015 floor hockey event held in Kamloops.

Dodie Benincasa, James Warman, Kathy Schmidt, Steven Stirling and

Maclean Brown were members of a team that included players from Grand Forks (which contributed nine players) and Burnaby (three players).

After qualifying for the medal finals with three wins in their division, the Grand Forks team beat Victoria, then lost a close game against Port Alberni.

SEE FLOOR, PAGE 4

Skylar Eyre is playing Banks — his first principle role — and the Grade 11 stu-dent has enjoyed the chal-lenge of digging into a charac-ter much older and different than he is.

“You really have to make up a past life for the character and figure out what happened in the past and triggers their actions,” he said. “At the beginning, I thought of him as more of an English teacher, but as I’ve created his back-ground, I realized he has a private life. That’s one of his biggest problems — finding time for his private life.”

That private life is a bit of a rocky one.

“His wife ends up leaving him at the same time, and that pushes him over the edge,” said Eyre. “I think they’ll really enjoy the build-up to him holding the class at gunpoint.”

In addition to regular rehearsals, Eyre has been practicing for up to three

hours every night as he prepares. And he’s been keeping a close eye on his teachers during the day.

“I had to watch a lot of my teachers’ behaviour and pick out their characteris-tics and include that,” he said. “Not that I didn’t have respect for them before, but now I see them as people, not just teach-ers,” he said.

Class Dismissed runs at 7 p.m. March 5-7 at Prince Charles Theatre. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for stu-dents/seniors, available at Creative Fix, the PCSS office and cast members.

FOR THE RECORDThe incident with the Quebec sex trade

workers took place at the Rykerts border crossing, not the Kingsgate crossing, as reported in last week’s police news.

On Saturday, the opera Salome will

show on the big screen at the Creston Valley Public Library.

Composer Richard Strauss developed the opera from Oscar Wilde’s play, which premiered in 1905. The play was in French and the operat-ic libretto is in German. There will be English subtitles.

The story is biblical and portrays King

Herod’s rule. He had decreed that all male infants be destroyed.

Salome has a pas-sionate obsession with the king. The results are not for the faint of heart.

The music is dra-matic and powerful and performed by the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin.

The showtime is 7 p.m. There is no admission fee and all are welcome.

Reforestation sounds simple enough: Cut down a tree, plant a tree; cut down a tree, plant a tree — and on it goes.

But the reality is that the process is much more involved.

“It entails anything to do with the resource — that resource being timber, that resource being wildlife, that resource being water,” said Rick Hanson, woodlands manager for J.H. Huscroft Ltd. “I’ve spent more time dealing with other parts than planting trees.”

Planning for reforestation begins a few years before cutting actually takes place, starting with a silviculture prescription, which “outlines what to do to establish a free-to-grow stand on that cut block,” identifying and assessing the impact on archeology, wildlife and water.

Esthetics plays a role, as well — trees to be cut may be scattered throughout the cut block with great importance placed on maintaining natural sightlines.

“If you just put a square block on a hill, it doesn’t look very pretty,” Hanson said. “If you do it right, most people won’t know you’ve been there. It has minimal impact, if any, because it is going to regenerate.”

Provincial regulations state that cutting can’t exceed 40 hectares in a block, and that an adjacent portion can’t be logged until the replanted forest grows to 15 feet. It’s quite different than when Hanson got into the business over 40 years ago.

“When I first started, you could actually get up in the morning and go log a hillside,” he said.

Hanson grew up on the Prairies, and earned a forestry degree at the University of BC. As a for-ester, he spent 10 years on the Coast, 15 in the Northern Interior and 15 in Grand Forks before coming to the Huscroft mill three years ago.

He’s been in the industry long enough to have seen the government turn over refores-tation to private companies in the mid-1970s, a move that made sense because one goal is to make sure the mill maintains a steady supply of logs.

“You do want to manage it so that it’s sustainable,” said Hanson.

J.H. Huscroft’s licence allows the mill to harvest over 75,000 cubic metres of timber each year, about the equivalent of 2,000 truckloads, and buys about 800 more from private companies, as well as the Creston Valley Forest Corporation and the Lower Kootenay Band. It also trades timber with other mills, passing along wood not used at the Erickson mill — cedar, for example, often goes to Salmo’s Porcupine Wood Products Ltd. — and bringing in a product better suited to its needs.

The mill is required to reforest a cut area within two years of harvesting, and monitor the new growth for 12-20 years, until it’s free to grow, no longer competing with other vegetation. Followup actions may include removing brush around the new trees — which also reduces forest fire risk — and monitoring wildlife activity.

If conditions are perfect, the forest might be ready to log about 50-60 years after replanting, but 80-100 years is normal.

“It’s definitely long-term farming,” said Hanson.Different cut blocks are designated by their

biogeoclimatic zones, which tell foresters what sort of diversity an area requires — even down to the seed used to grow new trees. Seeds are pur-chased from seed orchards and given to nurseries that grow the seedlings until they’re mature enough to be replanted.

“You have to ensure you’re planting the right trees in the right place,” said Hanson. “In order to do that, you have to make sure they’re grown from the right source.”

Reforestation practices maintain industry, nature

Brian Lawrence(Above) High lead logging at a J.H. Huscroft cut block off the Blazed Summit Creek Forest Service Road. (Below) J.H. Huscroft woodlands manager Rick Hanson at a Dodge Creek cutblock.

And every cut block is different, with any given area rarely populated by a single variety. So several different types of trees will be replanted to mimic the original selection as closely as possible.

“You don’t want to create a monoculture,” said Hanson.

The reforestation practices used by J.H. Huscroft are certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative, which requires independent audits to prove com-pliance with sustainable management principles protecting water quality, biodiversity, wildlife hab-itat and at-risk species.

“There are lots of people who disagree with some parts of it, but the rules are in place,” said Hanson.

Those rules have helped much of the general public to recognize the good practices in the indus-try — clearcuts are a thing of the past — which are equally appreciated by those involved.

“Most of the guys I’ve worked with over the years I would call environmentalists,” Hanson said. “They’re just as appalled by bad practices.”

On Feb. 12, Gwen Telling discussed her time with the business and industry, and on Feb. 19, president Justin Storm and lumber sales manager Chris Schofer discussed the industry’s future.

“There were over 700 athletes participating and it really felt like the Olympics,” Cathy Chlopecki said on Monday. “Over 2,000 volun-teers helped out — it was absolutely amazing to see that kind of effort.”

The Creston group left by bus on Feb. 19 at 6 a.m. After picking up athletes and volunteers in Trail and Grand Forks the bus rolled into Kamloops at 4:30. They set up their quarters in a school classroom, had a quick cafeteria supper

and headed off to the opening ceremonies. Friday and Saturday were game days, but anoth-er highlight was awaiting.

“The athletes were taken to the Healthy Athletes Village,” Chlopecki said.

There, they were given physical checkups, had their eyes tested and their teeth cleaned and checked. One of the Creston players even got a new pair of glasses. Athletes were also given sou-venir backpacks, cups and clothing items from sponsoring companies. The medical services were provided by professionals and students.

The Creston Special Olympics program is an active one. It includes rhythmic gymnastics, bowling, baseball and curling, which is just winding up for the year.

“We are starting a golf program this summer, too,” she said.

Chlopecki said the Feb. 19-21 Kamloops Special Olympics wound up with a dance on Saturday night. On Sunday, none of the athletes slept on the eight-hour bus ride home. They were still excited by the experience and the thrill of winning Gold medals. It was a great experi-ence for all involved.

“Just to see the athletes’ pride and joy is one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done,” Chlopecki said.

Creston RCMP calls include MVAs, alcohol

BY LORNE ECKERSLEYAdvance Staff

Johnny Wanlin attributes his 100 years of life to a guardian angel and his regular conversa-tions with God.

“He (God) always called me Buster. I don’t know why.”

Born to parents of Alsace-Lorraine heritage in Saskatchewan in 1915, Jean Jacques Joseph Wanlin has lived through much of what baby boomers think of as recent history. He was a baby in the First World War, rode the rails in the Great Depression and served in the Second World War, an experience he still can’t bring himself to talk about.

He has worked as a horse wrangler, barber, dam builder, steam railroad engineer, Western Messenger operator, hamburger stand owner and too many other jobs to talk about. For most of his life he supplemented his income by buying and selling land and buildings.

“If I am reincarnated I will be a real estate guy and be a millionaire,” he laughed on Feb. 12, two days before a small party of family and friends celebrated his 100th birthday.

Wanlin’s belief in a guardian angel has early roots. As a child, he was told the story of his first brush with danger. At the age of three months, little Johnny was napping in a wicker buggy, parked in the sun just outside the family farm-house while his mother worked nearby.

“My father had built the house on a hill, and below was a huge slough that filled with water that spring,” he recalled. “One of my sisters pried open the brake on the carriage — to ‘give him a ride’ — and it went rolling down the hill and into the water.”

His panic-stricken mother couldn’t reach the floating carriage without endangering her own life. She raced to get help and soon Johnny’s uncle was wading out into the slough to pull the baby to safety.

“Ever since then I know my angel has been looking after me,” he said.

At the age of 15 and with the Depression looming, Wanlin hopped freight trains and trav-eled around Western Canada. He once arrived at the famed Douglas Lake Cattle Company near Merritt. He asked for work and was scoffed at when he revealed his age.

“Come back when you are 20,” he was told. “And bring a horse. This is a cattle ranch.”

Back in Saskatchewan, he continued to ride the rails with hoboes in search of work.

“We were in a hobo camp one night and the police came and started arresting some of the men,” he said. “I went up to one and asked to be arrested but I was told, ‘We are only taking men today.’

“I really wanted to know what being inside a jail was like so I asked him what I needed to do to get arrested. He said I could take a swing at him, but I didn’t want to do that. I just wanted to get a look inside for maybe a month. I never did get another chance.”

With the vague possibility of work awaiting at Douglas Lake Ranch, Wanlin caught a wild horse and trained it to the point he could ride it and make it jump over fences.

He headed westward again, this time on horseback, and little more than a week later was hired on as a cowhand. About a year later he put in is resignation.

“They wanted to know why,” he said. “I said I had made enough money to buy a Harley and was going to look for other work. I told them to keep the horse and I rode off on my new used Harley-Davidson motorcycle.”

He headed to Calgary, where he took a course and became a barber.

“I opened a shop and I was reli-able,” he said. “I opened each day and worked all the way through. People could count on me.”

One day a customer was in his chair, bemoaning a real estate opportunity that was beyond his finances. He had the chance to purchase an acre of land on the south side of Calgary for $150. Wanlin asked if the customer minded if he pursued the oppor-tunity himself. He got the go-ahead and soon owned his first piece of land. He sold it later for $1,200 and used the profits to buy other land. Eventually he was buying buildings, too. When the chance came to make a profit, he sold parcels and reinvested.

When asked about his service in the Second World War his smile fades.

“I don’t talk about that, I never have,” he said, tears rolling down

his cheeks. “I saw too much death. There are no winners in war. I’d do it all again, though. That’s just the kind of guy I am.”

Later, he mentions that when he went to an enlistment office, he was told he would be a foot soldier.

“I told them I didn’t want to do that, that I would be AWOL all the time. And when they wouldn’t put me into something else I left.”

Military police tracked him down near Vancouver and advised him that he wouldn’t get another chance — sign up or go to jail. He enlisted.

In 1991, Wanlin came to Creston to “retire”, put off by Calgary, which “had become a rat race.” It also gave him the chance to pursue another interest — ultralight air-planes. No licence is required for ultralights — “It’s nice to have insurance though!” He has owned three and last flew when he was 90. At the age of 74 he had his aircraft fitted with a larger fuel tank and flew from Creston to Saskatchewan.

He admits to being saved at least once on a flight when his guardian angel intervened after a control stick became stuck.

“I turned off the engine key and asked God for his help with that one,” he smiled.

Asked about the highlight of his life, he points tearily to a photo dis-play that forms a tribute to his late wife, who pops up regularly in his conversations.

“She was the best thing that ever happened to me. She could be a pain in the neck, though.”

His first wife, whom he married when he was 18 and she was 17, died of an illness nine years later.

It’s not only his faith that has kept him alive and healthy, Wanlin said. He never enjoyed coffee and had his fill of booze in the army. The offer of a cigarette from a fel-low in Vancouver when he was in his 20s cured him of any desire to be a smoker, too.

“He gave me one and I said, ‘Holy smoke, this smells like poop! Give me some papers and I can roll you a bunch more! ‘I think I hurt his feel-ings, but I never smoked any more.”

If 100 years seems like a long life, it isn’t quite long enough yet for Wanlin. His mother lived to the age of 97. He had an uncle who lived to

Guardian angel, God help resident reach 100be 104 years old and he’d like to beat that record. And not by just a little.

“110 would be nice,” he said, from a win-dow-side easy chair in the living room of his own home.

OPINION LINE

Watching the recent 40th anniver-sary Saturday Night Live special was like taking a ride through two-thirds of my life. The series started when I was 20 and I still remember the buzz it created in my age group. It wasn’t long before John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Gilda Radner, Jane Curtin, Garrett Morris, Laraine Newman and Chevy Chase became familiar names.

I think part of the initial interest came from the program’s unique blend of skits and music. Variety shows were still common, but SNL drew us to the television late each Saturday night for the political humour, the outrageous characters portrayed in the skits, the great band and musical guests and a stream of guest hosts that started out with the great George Carlin.

Those early years seemed to reflect our own tumultuous lives. Within five years, all of the original cast had moved on and producer Lorne Michaels — known previous-ly to Canadian TV viewers as the guy who had teamed up with Hart Pomerantz to create a short-lived but very funny show here in Canada — packed it in, too.

The 1981 cast included names like Brian Doyle-Murray, Robin Duke, Christine Ebersole and Gilbert Gottfried. It suffered our scorn, not so much for what it did on the screen, but for what it wasn’t. We likely would have abandoned SNL entirely if not for one shining light. The genius of Eddie Murphy shone like a comet in the dark sky and it was very likely his presence that allowed the show to survive until Michaels returned to the helm five years later.

Make no mistake about it — SNL was my generation’s show. It was woven so tightly into our culture that it is almost unimaginable to think what life would have been without it. In the late 1980s Angela and I were flying back from New York and in our stopover in Minneapolis I spotted a

familiar face. Al Franken was wander-ing along with a carry-on bag and I couldn’t help but keep an eye on him. My eyes widen as he caught sight of a popular SNL guest host from season 2, football star Fran Tarkenton.

Franken was always one of my favourites. He was never a member of the repertory cast, but he was always funny as a featured player and was widely considered to be one of the series’ most brilliant writ-ers. I sidled over to listen to his con-versation with Tarkenton and heard them reminisce about the show he had hosted and, more interestingly, the party that followed afterward. One can only imagine how a future hall of fame quarterback must have felt in the presence of the likes of Belushi, whose partying ways would soon claim his life.

The 40th anniversary show served as a reminder of what an incredible launching pad SNL has been. No other series had provided such a consistent springboard for talent. Dana Carvey, Jim Belushi, Billy Crystal, Joan Cusack, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Elliot, Jimmy Fallon, Chris Farley, Will Farrell, Tina Fay, Janeane Garofalo, Phil Hartman, Julie Louis-Dreyfus, Jon Lovitz, Norm Macdonald, Dennis Miller, Mike Meyers, Randy Quaid, Chris Rock, Paul Shaffer, Martin Short, Sarah Silverman, David Spade, Ben Stiller, Amy Poehler, Damon Wayans — the list is ridicu-lous for its length and quality.

What other show could make ref-erence not once, but twice, to the passing of Jon Lovitz, who was sit-ting in the audience? What other show could have given the brilliant Gilda Radner the chance to shine before she was taken by cancer? What other show could have given home to the monstrous ego of Chevy Chase or the apparently lim-itless talents of Jimmy Fallon?

As I made my way through a sec-ond viewing of the anniversary show last week I found myself with a smile that just wouldn’t go away. How great to think back to the days of the Blues Brothers, the cheeseburger sketches, the Weekend Update, the very funny Father Guido Sarducci, Radner’s frighteningly accurate singer Candy Slice or her hilarious Roseanne Roseannadanna, the ridiculous shark at the door, Dan Aykroyd’s Bass-O-Matic or John Belushi’s “Well, excuuuuuse me!”?

I commented to Angela that it felt surprising how many memorable episodes we had watched with friends Gene (“Oh, Pepper Boy!”) Zackowski and Tanna Patterson, including one that didn’t make the anniversary show. We were at our house in Riverview when musical guest Sinead O’Connor performed. Never one to miss an opportunity, she sang with gut-wrenching angst. Then, looking straight into the cam-era, she held up a photo of the Pope of the day and tore it in half.

“Well, that’s gonna make the news,” one of us said.

It’s remarkable in this time of com-petition from so many angles that SNL continues. It remains (along with Sesame Street, I am proud to say) a touchstone for my generation. I don’t watch it (or Sesame Street, for that matter) often any more, but it is a comfort to know it still exists. May it outlive me.

The phone at the nursery office rings a little more with the warmer weather. Some folks are tracking down specific stock; others have questions regarding plant health care. As per usual, I hope to open the nursery up

around the third week of March. Many folks are wondering, “When’s a good time to start pruning or planting?” and “What do I need to spray on the fruit trees?”

In answer to these questions, I might say that you could prune any-time after we are out of the deep freeze. I schedule my fruit tree prun-ing December through February when I have some time, regardless of wheth-er it is the best time.

Keep in mind some plants are grown specifically for their spring flowers so we should really prune them after they flower. Pruning them over winter means you would be removing half the floral display. Examples of these might be the yellow flowering forsythia or an ornamental crabapple tree.

Most fruit trees produce an over-abundance of flowers and require some pruning over winter for good branch structure and fruit set. You are looking to increase the sunlight level getting into the tree. More sunshine means more and better quality fruit, and less disease. We remove or prune back branches that are diseased, crossed over, backwards, straight up and some that are simply too close together. There are some really neat how-to videos on YouTube nowadays.

Spring planting can begin as soon as the ground has thawed and the mois-ture level has fallen below saturation. We see a lot of planting from the end of March through the end of May. Bare-root fruit trees do well planted anytime in April and even early May before they leaf out. However, container-grown (potted) trees and shrubs can be planted

anytime through the growing season, provided you are around to help get them established.

As for the matter of spraying, your peaches and nectarine trees should real-ly have copper on them to protect them from the peach leaf curl disease. Copper powder or Bordeaux mix applied to the whole tree over winter should allow your trees to grow healthy and produc-tive in spring. Other fruit trees can have a lime sulphur and dormant oil mix sprayed on them anytime up to the point when they begin to flower. The sulphur smells like rotten eggs but is relatively harmless. Spray your apricots with the dormant oil first, then add the lime sulphur part to the mix for all the other trees. Some apricot varieties are “allergic” to the sulphur. Spray them to the point of runoff and, where possible, aim for a window when you have a few dry days and overnight temperatures above freezing.

Remember that backyard horticul-ture isn’t an exact science. To most people it is a really enjoyable hobby. I think of it as part of a healthy out-doors lifestyle.

To the Editor:I don’t recall signing anything that

gives the current Harper Conservative government the right to give away my freedom as a Canadian. I don’t recall directing my Kootenay-Columbia MP to restrict my freedoms as a Canadian so that perceived terrorist activities can be curtailed. Did we pass martial law and I missed the news that night? Or was the media mesmerized by a loss of human rights in another country and felt that story superseded my need to know about what was going on right here in my nation? Either way, true to recent form, there has been no “real” debate in the House of Commons regarding the details of the bill and that very much concerns me. We appear to have a prime minister who is using fear-mongering to achieve his own agenda. It certainly is not my agenda. Or my neighbour’s. It is a Stephen Harper agenda. Much of what has transpired in Ottawa in recent years has been legislation of this type. So why should I be concerned about this, you ask?

With Bill 51, I have now a newfound concern about what I say in private as well as in public. Will it place me on a watchlist? Should I monitor what sites I visit on the Internet because I may be invaded by CSIS in what I thought was the privacy of my own home? Should I listen for telltale “clicks” on my home phone indicating that I am being tapped by federal authorities? Should I be “on guard for thee” — and by that I am referring to avoidance and covering up of my opinions in case Big Brother is watching and poised to enter my home, seize my computer and place me under arrest because I am making anti-government comments? Because I could be perceived to be fraternizing with what the government considers to be dangerous elements?

My Canada is gone. Not by the actions of a few who are supposedly

threatening my freedom. But by the very head of our own government who is hell-bent to destroy everything Canada stands for. Everything that past and cur-rent veterans have fought to protect. Freedom. Rights. Democratic honesty. We are indeed under attack and drastic means are necessary. By that, I am refer-ring to getting this person who thinks he is above the rest of us out. Out of office, out of Parliament and out of politics. And in so doing, we will rid ourselves of the American influence on behalf of whom he postures.

Yes, it is time for more careful scruti-ny. For seeing intent before intent becomes reality. But it was time for this three terms ago. Before we allowed this person to claim such powers and do so much damage. To use lies and subter-fuge to take away our freedoms. It is my sincere hope that Canadians will look back on this dark time and realize how quickly and how without defense we can lose everything.

To the Editor:I notice in the Feb. 5 issue that Shelley

Stickel-Miles is leaving Creston and that her Opening to Grace column will be dis-continued. I will miss reading her col-umn, as I am sure her congregation will miss her. She has such a down-to-earth real-world approach to Christianity, and I enjoy what she has to say about how a spiritual tradition can inform the deci-sions we make about every detail of our lives. She, and her words, will be missed.

I wish her a wonderful and fulfilling retirement in Japan that continues to deepen her understanding of her religion.

Kuya MinogueCreston

To the Editor:The Creston Valley doesn’t have a

nice, safe space for teens to go. The library is closed on Sundays and Mondays, and demands quiet.

Without a place to go, teens loiter outside businesses or wander around. Many teens in Creston get into trouble with drugs and alcohol, and having a designated, drug-free teen space would stop young teens from falling in with the wrong crowd. A teen space would give teens somewhere to meet, socialize and make friends. It would be a place where they could go to spend a few hours in town before an event or while parents are at work. Teens could use the space to get together and study, do homework, or work on group projects.

The Creston area’s teens need a place to go and be teens without get-ting in trouble or bothering anyone, and this teen space would be exactly that. Teens could have a safe, warm place to go if they can’t be at home, even overnight. It would be a place for self-expression, art and music. We would have a place to call our own, to learn, laugh and grow in, away from danger and bad influences.

Teens give a lot to the community. We provide a work force, keeping gro-cery stores, restaurants and coffee shops open. We support local business-es by spending money and attract new ones. Teens bring energy, art, creativity and vitality to the town. Most teens use their enthusiasm for good, volunteer-ing and making the community better.

We are the future of the Creston area. We bring progress, forward think-ing and fresh ideas, as well as being the next generation of business owners, doctors, nurses, teachers and parents. A teen space would help teens to reach their potential, growing up to be peo-ple who improve the world.

Busting The Top 10 Tax Myths

Friends and neighbours may often be a source of great advice but when it comes to taxes, it’s best to leave the advice to the experts. The following are some common tax myths and guidelines to ensure you claim the right credits and deductions:If I receive a tax refund, my return is approved: The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will process your return and send you a refund fairly promptly. However, the CRA also has three years in which to review returns and request follow up paperwork. The review may result in a Notice of Reassessment with a balance owing. For example, if you claimed moving expenses that were not eligible, the CRA will disallow your claim and send you a tax bill.I earned less than $10,000 so I do not have to file a tax return: Even if you earned no income, you could be entitled to other credits and benefits that are triggered once you file

a tax return. For example, if you turn 19 before April 2016 you could qualify for the quarterly GST/HST amount. If you did earn an income, regardless of how little, you should receive a refund if you had tax withheld.I work for myself so I can write it off: You are allowed to claim reasonable business expenses incurred to earn your income if you are self-employed. However, the key word is reasonable. If you only have one internet connection and work at home, the CRA will expect there to be some personal use so you cannot claim 100 per cent of expenses. And if you are claiming 90 per cent of your auto expenses, the CRA will most likely ask to review your logbook.Maternity leave income is not taxable: Congratulations on becoming parents! Amidst the hustle and bustle of feeding, changing and caring for the baby, don’t forget that you are required to report your Employment Insurance (EI) benefits as income. In most cases, Service Canada withholds less than your marginal rate so you may have tax obligations

at the end of the year..Mothers are required to claim the children first: The lower income spouse is required to claim childcare expenses whether it is the mother or father. Either parent can claim the credit for children uner 18.My pets are considered my dependants so I can claim their pet food: It depends on if your pet is actually working. Most pets will not qualify. However, there are the odd exceptions. A farmer was once allowed to claim cat and dog food because they were outdoor pets that were acquired to keep wildlife away from their blueberries. Zeitz v. The Queen [2002] 4 C.T.C. 2292.

Tips are not considered income: For servers, tips may be as much as 200-400 per cent of their income. Servers and others working in the hospitality industry are required to record and report their tips on their tax return.

I don’t need to worry about slips mailed to me at the wrong address: You are required to report all sources of income in the year it was earned. The CRA receives copies of all the T slips issued, so

if you forget, misplace or hide a T slip, it will inevitably be uncovered by their matching program and result in a reassessment. If this happens twice in a four-year period, you will face a stiff penalty.

If I work outside of the country, I do not need to file a tax return: If you are working outside of the country but have substantial residential ties to Canada still, you will be required to file a Canadian tax return. The Canadian tax system is based on residency. If you are emigrating, you should indicate your date of exit on your last tax return.

Mortgage interest on your personal residence is a tax deduction: This is only true for self-employed Canadians who work from home. They are allowed to claim a percentage of their mortgage insurance as a business expense. For everyone else, the tax benefit of owning a home comes when you sell. Every Canadian receives a capital gains exemption on the sales of their principal residence.

Medical expenses: If you pay a healthcare premium through payroll deduction, this is considered a medical expense as well as any deductibles or out-of-pocket expenses that are not covered by your plan. If you purchase healthcare insurance to travel, this can also be claimed as a medical expense.Disability tax credit: Many taxpayers feel they do not qualify but it may be worth asking your doctor to review the criteria on the T2201 medical disability form. This form is submitted to the CRA and they will determine whether you qualify.Report your income: Any child under 18 who works part or full time during the summer months may be entitled to a refund of taxes paid if

their income is below the basic personal amount. Even if no tax is deducted, reporting the income will increase the child’s RRSP contribution limit for future years.Get your benefits: Those turning 19 before April 1, 2016 should be filing a 2014 tax return even if they had no income. This will allow them to collect the GST/HST credit for the quarter following their 19th birthday.Determining dependants: Even with people names, pets are NOT dependants. But if your parents live with you, are over 65 and have a relatively low income, you may be able to claim them as dependants.Submitted by H&R Block

OPINION LINEThursday, February 26, 2015 Creston Valley Advance12 www.crestonvalleyadvance.ca

In the last A Zen’s Eye View column (“Listen to mountains and rivers”, Feb. 12) I spoke of how a Song dynasty poet, following a night of meditation, experienced the mountains as being beyond

the ordinary mountains that he usually saw. After he awakened from the dream of his condition-ing, the mountains didn’t look different, and yet everything was completely different.

You may have a feeling for what this is like. It’s as if the physical world — sounds, forms and feelings — evoke a presence that is beyond the two-dimension-al presence we give our ordinary daily lives. We feel like we have been here before and yet there is something here that was always here but we never noticed. It’s like we had been dreaming up to this moment and now we are finally and fully awake.

In the essay that I’m discussing in this column, “Mountains and Rivers Sutra,” Dogen, a 13th cen-tury Zen master and author, is thinking about another ancient Chinese saying.

“When I first began to practice, mountains were mountains and riv-ers were rivers. As I trained, moun-tains were not mountains; rivers were not rivers. Now that I am established in the way, mountains are once more mountains and rivers are once more rivers.”

These words represent three different ways we feel about our lives. In the first instance we see mountains and rivers and other people only through lens of our projection, our separation and alienation. Everybody is like this. We see things in an oppositional

relationship where everything is flat and two-dimensional. Life seems hard. Others are a threat. Time and money are scarce. We have to struggle get by.

That’s the first “mountains are mountains and rivers are rivers,” in which we are lim-ited by our view. But at some point we wake up to the realization that there must be another way of living this life. This is where Zen prac-tice begins.

Through practice we real-ize that everything is imper-manent. This doesn’t just mean that over time things change; it means that things

are changing in every moment. We can’t hold on to anything, not even ourselves. The person we imagined ourselves to be has changed. We can’t grasp thought or make breath stay. On one hand this can be terrifying. If there is nothing to grasp; everything will be lost.

On other hand, impermanence means that suffering will pass. When we realize this, mountains are not mountains; rivers are not rivers. Impermanence is no longer an idea; it’s just the way things are. At this point, we settle into life as it is. Practice, as something special, disappears. There is only life, only mountains and rivers in their pristine beauty. Now we can fully accept the condition of our lives and realize that the particu-lars, family, job and possessions are only vehicles for how we live out our deepest spiritual values.

Suggested practice: Consider how each of your daily activities can be an expression of your deepest spiritual values. Bring this to mind as you move through your day.

I was asked, “How can I be sure that what I have written is the cor-rect interpretation of prophecies?”

My answer is not politically correct, but it is historically and theologi-cally correct!

Protestant reformers held firmly to the histori-cist method of Bible prophecy interpretation, which holds that prophe-cy starts at the time it was given and runs continu-ously until it is complete. Using this understanding, the following was taught by most reformers:

The Creston branch of Wildsight cele-brates its 25th anniversary today, well, this year, 2015! Wildsight’s Creston branch had its beginnings a way back prior to 1980. Wow, that’s a long time ago! A lot of changes have taken place since then.

Creston Wildsight had its roots in a small group of people that included some “tree huggers” who came out of the forest where the air was clean, and concerned citizens from east and west and north and south. On getting together in Creston, they noticed there was, at times, a lot of bad air.

Perhaps, they may have been roaming around town after dark and discovered some foul smelling breezes. “What’s that smell ?” “Oh, that’s coming from someone burning garbage when the smoke isn’t so easily seen.” There was a need to alert some of Creston’s “upright” citi-zens of how toxic it was to burn plastics and what they can do about it. Also a program was introduced to encour-age people to install efficient wood stoves.

Then it was discov-ered a lot of people were forced to take up “stubble smoking”. The practice of burning stubble on the flats caused a lot of serious breathing problems for some people and was a general hazard to every-one who was down wind from the smoke. A local warrior for the cause of clean air even went south of the bor-der and, with the com-pany of another down there, advocate for clean air, campaigned amongst the farmers, groups and govern-ment to take to alterna-tive means for dealing with the stubble. With this and other environ-mental issues, Creston’s very own East Kootenay Environmental Society (EKES) became a reality.

Other early issues included the burning of garbage elsewhere and hauling the ashes to Creston for “burial”. Having clean water and protecting the water-sheds from which most of the drinking water came was a deep con-

cern. A significant threat of the time was a 26-mile road with 16 creek crossings with subsequent degrading of the water supply.

There has been more than one attempt to divert the Kootenay, a river flowing with “milk”, but I am not sure about honey. Glacial waters joining the Kootenay, in its upper reaches, give it a greenish, milky tint. EKES was instrumental, along with other groups, in discouraging a sec-ond attempt to redirect its waters.

There was (and still is) a need to upgrade timber harvest (logging) practices. Out of this was born the Creston Valley Forest Corporation (Creston Community Forest), which has implemented better ways to log, reducing erosion, among other benefits, in the watercourses. The plan was for it not only to be viable, but also to return profits into the community and the environment to benefit its citizens, both human and wild. Part of that benefit has resulted in the com-munity forest taking trails into their jurisdic-tion, under their wing. Today, Wildsight’s Creston branch is still a vital part of the Creston Valley Forest Corporation.

EKES members agreed that a main ave-nue to protecting our environment was to educate and create awareness of our natural surroundings, of how a healthy environ-ment was (and still is) vital to our well-being. Besides putting on programs like slide shows and reports of wildlife research, EKES also sought to create appreciation and awareness of our natural heritage by co-operating in the establishing of local trails, some of them self-guiding with pamphlets on the natural history along the route.

Ed McMackinWildsight friends and members in 2000 perched on Ripple Mountain overlooking natural and manmade habitats.

Wildsight celebrating

25 years

the years many volunteers have helped to keep these trails maintained.

Joining together with other similar orga-nizations, the Creston environmental soci-ety got a new branding — Wildsight (Creston) — joining in with other Wildsight branches, including Kimberley and Golden.

A big thrust of Wildsight at Creston has been education through support of hiking and through creating awareness, with pre-sentations on wolverines, grizzly bears, water, geology, mining history and various individuals’ trips into the wild, both near and far, from Iceland to Antartica and from the top of Sphinx Mountain to the cool waters of the Kootenay River. Over those years, something like 85 programs and pre-

sentations were put on at the Creston Valley Seniors Centre, Rotacrest Hall and at the Tivoli Theatre. Sixty-five speakers, including college professors, research biologists, pho-tographers, mountain climbers, hikers, bota-nists and naturalists, graced our hallways. Sometimes attendance topped near 100.

The Creston branch of Wildsight launches into its 26th year continuing on the trail of creating awareness, appreciation and in edu-cating our community in wild ways, in being custodians of our wild places (loss of habitat is the greatest cause in the degrading of the dynamic balance in nature) and acting on it!

Ed McMackin is a biologist by profession but a naturalist and hiker by nature. He can be reached at 250-866-5747.

•time periods in Bible symbolic prophe-cy are to be understood figuratively, not lit-erally, thus a “day” represents a literal year;

•the “temple” in which the Antichrist sits is not literal Jerusalem but rather an

apostate Christian church; and•the word “Antichrist” does not denote a

blasphemous individual who openly denies and defies God but rather one who opposes Christ by posing as the vicar of Christ.

The reformers were all biblical scholars and understood that the prophecies clear-ly indicated that the papacy was little horn power of Daniel 7, also mentioned in Revelation 13 and 17, and 2 Thessalonians

2. They understood the chronology of the biblical prophecies and knew that the prophesied powers of Babylon, the Medo-Persian empire, the Grecian empire and pagan Roman empire had passed away and that they were living in the time period of the little horn power.

Almost to a man, they believed, as John Wycliffe put it, “the pope is antichrist here on Earth.” And when two popes were

vying for position he wrote they were “two halves of Antichrist making up the perfect man of sin between them.” A few of the Reformers who held this under-standing were John Hus, William Tyndale, Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, John Calvin, John Knox and Thomas Cranmer.

It is very clear that from the 12th to 18th centuries the incriminating finger of Bible prophecy clearly pointed out the bishop of

Rome as the Antichrist. To quote some early church confessions of faith:

Presbyterian: “The pope of Rome … is that Antichrist, that man of sin … that exalteth him-self against … God.”

Church of England (Anglican): “The pope ought to be called Antichrist.”

Lutheran: “The pope should be called the real Antichrist.”

As result of such clear Bible teaching, thousands of adherents to the papal system left and embraced the Protestant cause. This naturally caused alarm in the papal system and they knew that some-how this identification must be changed to pre-serve the papal system.

To this end, a coun-cil was called in 1545 in Trento, Italy, lasting until 1563. Two Jesuit scholars, Alcazar and Ribera, came up with preterism and futur-ism. Preterism denies predictive prophecy and says that the prophecies are basical-ly history. Futurism says that the prophe-cies are in the future.

Both deny the possi-bility of the pope being identified as the Antichrist of Bible prophecy. Surprisingly, both preterism and futurism were accepted by the majority of Protestants in the 19th century. And now the papacy was safe from the pointed accusations of the Bible and the reformers.

It has been said that there is not too much difference today between Catholicism and Protestants. That is true. The change is not on Catholicism’s side, which boasts that they never change, but rather in Protestantism, which has adopted their understanding!

The reformers from the 12th to 18th centu-ries would be turning in their graves to see the Bible prophecies so eas-ily cast aside and the growth of the ecumeni-cal movement today.

I can be sure that what I have written is correct because history proves the accuracy of prophecy when under-stood by the historicist method.

BY ANDREW McINNISCreston Curling Centre

The Creston Curling Centre’s junior curling pro-gram had another successful year and it was all capped off on Feb. 14 with a “fun-spiel” consisting of three four-end games.

The day gave the juniors a chance to put their newly learned skills on display for their family and coaches. They

started in November, learning basic skills and drills, and got the chance to put it all together during the one-day event.

Two teams ended up tying for first place, and two tied for second. In first were Vincent Walker, Raya Terrill, Nic Brauer and Taelyn Austin, coached by Greg Terrill, and Catherine Walker, Isaiah Persad, Brynn Mailhot and Kate Page, coached by Kelly and Dale Moberg.

The second-place teams were Abi Evans, Meredith Walker, Noah Eastman and Rasmus Knudson, coached by Cathy Robinson, and Alyssa Eastman, Morgan Schmalz, Ryan Neufeld and Hayden Persad, coached by Doug Hannah.

The junior program will resume on Nov. 17 and any kids looking to learn a great winter sport are encouraged to come out and give it a try.

Youth curlers finish season with ‘funspiel’

THE KIDNEY FOUNDATION OF CANADAwww.kidney.ca

The Creston Valley Advance reminds youto report any suspicious calls to

Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre 1-888-495-8501

SCAM MYTHBUSTERSBusting these common myths

will minimize your chances of being scammed.• All companies, businesses and organizations are legitimate because they are licensed and monitored by the government: This is not always true. While there are rules about setting up and running a business or a company in Canada, scammers can easily pretend to have approval when they don’t. Even businesses that are licensed could still try to scam you by acting dishonestly.• All Internet websites are legitimate: This is not always true. Websites are quite easy and cheap to set up. The scammers can easily copy a genuine website and trick you into believing it is legitimate.• There are short cuts to wealth that only a few people know: This is not always true. Ask yourself the question: if someone knew a secret to instant wealth, why would they be telling their secret to others?• Scams involve large amounts of money: This is not always true. Sometimes scammers target a large number of people and try to get a small amount of money from each person.• Scams are always about money: This is not always true. Some scams are aimed at stealing personal information from you.

GOLDEN RULESRemember these golden rules to help you beat the scammers.• Always get independent advice if an offer involves money, personal information, time or commitment.• There are no guaranteed get-rich-quick schemes—sometimes the only people who make money are the scammers.• Do not agree to offers or deals right away. If you think you have spotted a great opportunity, insist on time to get independent advice before making a decision.• Do not hand over money or personal information, or sign anything until you have done your homework and checked the credentials of the company that you are dealing with.• Do not rely on glowing testimonials: fi nd solid evidence of a company’s success.• Log directly on to a website that you are interested in rather than clicking on links provided in an email.• Never send money, or give credit card or online account details to anyone you do not know and trust.• If you spot a scam or have been scammed, get help. Contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, the Competition Bureau or your local police for assistance.

Scammers are imaginative and manipulative.They know how to push your buttons to produce the response they want.

for Spring!

By Ian Harwood

Spring-like weather means the back woods trails are already beckoning us out here in the west.While my Driveway colleagues seem to have spent the last month plowing through snow and ice back east, I’m raring to get out there in our beautiful back yard.However, there are a few things to think about before you head out into the back roads of British Columbia this spring, to find yourself driving through those swollen creeks and rivers. Think about that water entering areas of your truck, believe me, you would prefer it did not do so! – Your truck’s transmission, transfer case, and front and rear differentials must be vented to compensate for changes in air pressure as temperatures go up and down

when you drive, but when you are driving off road in wet conditions the most likely place for water to enter is through those vents. Water that gets in contaminates the lubricants that protect parts, and that can lead to bearing and gear damage. To keep water from getting into areas where it should not be is fairly easy. Attach a rubber hose, or vacuum hose to each vent, and then extend it to a high location on the truck. The length of tubing required will depend on your vehicle, but 30 – 35 centimetres should be enough.Before you begin, locate the vent on each component. Determine if each vent is a tube or a cap style. If it is a tube style make sure that the hose fits tight and secure it with a small hose clamp, leaving excess hose length to route upwards. Cap type vents are usually screwed in mushroom shaped. Remove the cap from each one by unscrewing it. Use this for a

sample and buy a nipple vent with the same thread size and replace the cap with the nipple.The new vacuum hose for the transmission and transfer case vents can be secured along the frame or body to the firewall with plastic tie straps (do not over tighten and pinch the hose) and from there up into the engine compartment. Make sure to secure the end. Leave about 8 centimetres and bend it downward. The front differential hose is to be routed in a similar fashion but allow enough slack for axle movement. The same goes for the rear differential but instead of running it to the front, direct it up between the bed and the cab of the truck. When you have finished, check the tubing to make sure it is free of kinks and positioned away from hot exhaust or engine parts.Now you are ready to go through creeks and mud holes with very little chance of water to enter the vents. Water can still enter

components through other routes, so be sure to check the color of your differential and transmission fluid after each trip. Axle grease turns a light brown color when mixed with water. Automatic transmission fluid turns pink when mixed with water. Most manufacturers recommend you check the wheel bearings if you have been in water deeper than the hubs. Re-pack the wheel bearings if there is any sign of water entry.

Mungall pleased by end of child

support clawback

BY BILL METCALFENelson Star

The Nelson-Creston MLA and a poverty advocate are pleased as the provincial govern-ment has ended its clawback of child support payments from social assistance and disability payments to single parents.

Under the policy, for example, a single par-ent with one child who received $946 monthly on income assistance or $1,242 in disability assistance would have the amount of any received child support deducted from that payment.

The Gordon Campbell government initiated the policy shortly after the 2001 election.

This week's change follows an intense pub-lic campaign over the past couple of years by anti-poverty and women's groups, with the support of Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall, who is the NDP opposition's social development critic.

“The fact that we are seeing this policy come to an end,” she said, “is a real testament to par-ents who came forward and shared their stories and worked with community organizations to make it happen.”

Community groups and several legal organi-zations have stated that the clawback was a vio-lation of a child's right to be supported by both parents. Even some members of the BC Liberal caucus reportedly had problems with it.

A Ministry of Finance press release states that the change will result in an extra $32 million for families over the next three years, and that 5400 children will be affected.

Phyllis Nash, co-chair of the Nelson Committee on Homelessness, has been involved in poverty reduction activities locally since 1977, and she's happy to see this change.

“I am delighted that it was announced. It was about time.” she said. “The stats indicate we have a higher proportion of single parents in Nelson than any place in the province, so that tells us that increasing the income for those families is going to assist in the reduc-tion of poverty.”

BC is the first province to fully exempt child maintenance payments, although several other provinces exempt them partially. The average child support payment in B.C. is $300 per month, according to Mungall.

T-Cats down 2-1 in first roundBY BRIAN LAWRENCE

Advance Editor

Following Monday’s game, the Creston Valley Thunder Cats were down 2-1 in the best-of-seven series that kicked off the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Eddie Mountain Division playoffs.

The three games so far (a fourth was scheduled for Tuesday night after press time) were tight, with the Thunder Cats winning Friday 2-1 in overtime, but losing 2-0 on Saturday and 1-0 on Monday.

“Chances both ways were at a premium,” said head coach Jeff Dubois of Friday’s game in Kimberley.

Carson Cartwirght scored for Creston in the second period, with a Kimberley goal tying the score in the third. Connor Ward scored the game-winner unassisted at 2:55 in overtime.

Goalie Brock Lefebvre was a big help to Creston, with 11 saves in the third period, a performance that impressed Dubois in all three games.

Creston’s defence worked hard on Saturday, limiting shots from Kimberley, which had a power-play goal in each of the first two periods.

“You can’t fault the work ethic,” said Dubois. “We just couldn’t get what we need-ed offensively.”

Both teams’ goaltending remained strong in Creston on Monday, he said, with Kimberley scoring a single power-play goal at 1:44 in the first period. Lefebvre blocked 24 shots, with the Dynamiters’ goalie stopping 25.

Dubois noted that penalties were light in all three games.

“Obviously there’s a mutual dislike between the teams, and that’s what you

expect in a playoff series — you see the same guys night after night. shift after shift. Because games have been so tight, it’s obvious you want to stay out of the box.”

For the next games, Dubois is expecting the team to step up offen-

sively, which would have a positive effect the rest of the series.

“You stick with the program knowing we’re doing a good job at the defensive end,” he said. “Once you start having success offensively, you find it snowballs from there.”
