These dragon boats are racing in a heat held on the lake at Midland, Ontario. Dragon boat racing is said to be the fastest-growing sport in the world.
Dragon Boats on the horizon
By Elinor Florence
Pioneer Staff
A spectacular community event is on its way to
Lake Windermere.
At Tuesday night’s regular meeting, Invermere
town council endorsed an application by the Family Resource Centre to sponsor a Dragon Boat
Festival here in July, dpending on whether the date
conflicts with any other planned events.
“We have been looking for a major fund-raising event for our organization and I believe we
have found it,” said Pat Cope, executive director of
the family resource centre.
“Dragon Boat Races are a family-oriented
event that will be fun for everybody in the valley.”
The boats will be provided by a private company called FMG Dragon Boats in Winnipeg.
The company will supply a “road crew” and
three dragon boats, which will be trucked to site
two weeks ahead of time.
The road crew will then conduct practice sessions before race day so that everyone is familiar
with the competition.
FMG is a family-owned business that is celebrating its tenth anniversary of providing dragon
boat races, including annual races every summer in
Winnipeg.
This year the company will organize 12 dragon
boat festivals including festivals in Las Vegas and
Tempe, Arizona.
“Not only do the locals love to get involved,
but we have dragon boat afficionados who follow
us around during the summer just for the fun of
competing,” said Colleen Hill, one of the company’s road crew.
Dragon boat racing began in ancient China.
A dragon boat is a long, narrow vessel that
holds 20 paddlers, one drummer and one steersperson. Ms. Hill said each team should have 25
members so that three alternates are available to
take turns if necessary.
Here’s how it works:
Three teams race at once, and after the first
heat the teams are divided into fast, medium and
slow divisions.
As the day progresses, the teams are gradually
reduced through successive heats until only the
winners are left.
But speed isn’t the only way to win a prize.
“We have prizes for the best costumes and
some teams really get into that part,” said Ms. Hill.
She said she has seen teams dressed as Flying
Nuns, pirates, and even men wearing women’s
clothing calling themselves “The Dragon Queens.”
“Some smaller companies host their annual
picnic on that day so they can commandeer employees and their spouses to make up a team,” she
said.
“We’ve also seen families participate where
n
ntio
Atteeshare
T imwners
O
everyone, even the 80-year-old grandmother, is in
the boat!”
She said the largest event hosted by her company has seen 140 teams take part.
Here the company is looking at two possible
venues: racing off Kinsmen Beach, or racing off
Athalmer Beach. Both venues are suitable, said
Mrs. Cope.
The event would go ahead rain or shine, but
the only deterrent to holding the races would be if
the lake was too windy, she said.
She added that this is an event that will draw
spectators from across Western Canada. Ultimately
it will involve hundreds of volunteers from the
community who want to sponsor their own Dragon Boats and help with organizing the event.
Mrs. Cope said she is hoping service clubs and
businesses will jump on board.
Please call her at 342-4204 for more information.

Letters to the Editor
‘Jumbo will
carve away
heli-ski’s
territory’
Dear Editor:
Politicians and promoters have a way of spinning numbers around to say just about anything,
but sometimes they go too far and insult our intelligence. In a recent letter to the citizens of the
East Kootenays, Grant Costello, one of Jumbo’s
promoters, committed just such an insult to our intelligence. Mr. Costello suggested that the fact that
only 793 residents expressed formal opposition to
his project means that the other 98.6 percent actually support the exploitation of the Jumbo Valley.
Applying this same logic, Mr. Costello might
conclude that the participation of only 1.0 million
Canadians in the armed forces in World War II
means that the other 83 percent of the population
actually supported the Nazis.
Politician George Abbott also spun figures
around in his announcement of the issuance of an
Environmental Assessment Certificate for Jumbo
Glacier Resort. He suggested that the Jumbo Valley
represented only 4 percent of the skiable terrain in
RK Heli-ski’s tenure area. What he failed to point
out is that only 9 percent of RK’s tenure is skiable.
The Jumbo Valley therefore represents 41 percent
of the available ski terrain and 100 percent of RK’s
bad-weather terrain.
Both the promoters and the politicians have
failed to explain why, with 98 percent of public
lands in the province unencumbered by tenure, they
are trying to carve a ski area out of the prime ski
terrain of a 35-year old company which pioneered
heli-skiing, a sport which now generates over $100
million annually for the province.
Jim Younker, Invermere
‘MLA under attack’
Dear Editor:
Throughout the riding the local NDP candidate
has been asserting that our MLA, Wendy McMahon, has been ineffective.
Where has he been for the past few years?
How can he ignore the fact that during Wendy’s
term as MLA, our economy has made a dramatic
turnaround and is now thriving despite circumstances such as the softwood lumber dispute, SARs,
9/11, mad cow and avian flu?
As a result, we are now in a better position to
afford and sustain the level of government services
we all desire.
In his willingness to spew the propaganda from
NDP headquarters, he conveniently ignores the fact
that his own community, Golden, is the recipient of
the largest single infrastructure project in the province!
Why does he choose not to acknowledge the
improvements to the Trans-Canada Highway that
will make for safer travel for our loved ones and lead
to further economic development?
Why can he not give credit where it is due? How can anyone trust a candidate who blatantly
disregards the truth and makes unfair personal attacks?
Contrary to the NDP candidate’s assessment,
Wendy McMahon as served the riding and the
province well. In addition to her normal duties as
MLA, she has spent countless hours listening to the
wishes of British Columbians.
She is currently a member of the Select Standing
Committee on Finance and past-chair of the Select
Standing Committee on Education.
She was a member of the Task Force on Mining
and served on Team B.C. Softwood Lumber Consultation Committee.
She is currently a member of the Government
Committees on Women and Economy on Government Services.
She is a member and past chair of the Kootenay
Caucus. Perhaps most significantly, her peers have
recognized her talents by electing her to the prestigious and influential position, chair of Caucus.
Through such participation and her constant
advocacy, Ms. McMahon has vigorously represented
this riding and interests critical to its residents.
Too bad the NDP candidate ignores the facts
and fails to give our hardworking MLA the credit
she deserves.
But what else should we expect? If he sticks to
the facts and gives Wendy the recognition she deserves, what hope would he have of replacing her?
Rick Jarrett, Invermere
‘Santa gave us what we wanted’
Dear Editor:
sat on any Santa’s knee). The only thing that was
missing was the question: “What do you want for
Christmas?’
Little did we know that he already knew the answer.
We entered the dining room and there was our
gift. What a GREAT turkey and ham meal with all
the trimmings, to top it off, a cheerful server brought
us pie and coffee. Thanks to all the sponsors and all
the people who made this a great kick-start to the
Christmas season.
God Bless and very Merry Christmas to all.
I thought I should write about an event that
took place at Copper Point Golf Club on Sunday,
December 5. This was not a world-shattering or
maybe not even a front-page event because there
was no crime involved, unless of course, overfeeding
a multitude can fall into that category.
From the time that the wind blew me through
the front door I was sure I had been mistaken for
some VIP until I discovered that everybody there received the same treatment. Before I recovered from
this shock, Santa motioned to my wife Betty and
myself to pose with him for a photo (first time we Earl Pederson, Fairmont

‘I know I got off lucky’ Black ice causes
By Brian McLaughlin
A funny thing happened to me on the way to
the District office to sign some papers. While I was
watching all the people being pulled over for not
wearing their seat belts at the new four-way stop on
13th Avenue, I was oblivious to the fact that my
insurance had expired a few days previously.
I felt smug as all get-out, fingering my seat belt
and remembering how to navigate a four-way stop.
Then that dreaded bent finger of the police officer instructed me to park my truck on the side of the
road. What flashed through my mind was: they’re
singling out people to say something like: “Hey,
fella, thanks for wearing your seat belt, because seat
belts save lives!”
Instead, I got a ticket for $590 for driving an uninsured vehicle, plus a $109 fine for having a vehicle
license that was expired, and finally, no, I could not
go down to the insurance office and get the sticker,
as my vehicle now must be towed off the street.
As the officer gave me the ticket and explained
how I could save $25 by paying within 30 days, and
that all I was signing was that I received the ticket
and not necessarily admitting guilt, I was looking at
the total fines and thinking relatively evil thoughts,
actions and whatever I could under my breath.
Then the officer said: “Look on the bright side,
you haven’t hit, injured or killed anybody while you
were driving without insurance.” And he was absolutely correct. I was getting off lucky. Had I been in
an accident, I may have been in a position to kiss
goodbye to everything that Liz and I had saved and
built up over the last 20 some years. Our house, our
possessions, and our savings for our kids’ education,
gone, wiped out in a flash.
So I bit my lip, thanked him for his diligence
and proceeded to wait for the tow truck. I was hoping that when the tow truck came, perhaps I would
know the driver and ask to have the truck towed to
the insurance agency so that I could get insurance
and be on my way.
What to do on a Friday morning, with a $700plus ticket and trying to figure out how to tell Liz
that our vacation may be curtailed this year due to
lack of available funds? Well, I watched how the
four-way stop worked. What was the most striking
is that many older (not young) drivers do not have
the proper road sense to deal with a four-way stop.
It got so bad at one point that an officer actually
had to point to individual drivers and say yes, it was
their turn to move through the stop sign.
Just think, if drivers cannot remember who has
the right-of-way for a four-way stop, then can you
really trust them to remember who has the rightof-way when merging or crossing onto highways?
I watched as the police gave out some six to eight
tickets for seat belt violations to people driving their
kids to school.
One of the officers identified a car that had
gone through the intersection for the third time
that morning. So that meant that three kids were
driven to school at different times.
Then Don came from Club Towing. He did a
very professional job of securing my vehicle and
thankfully, he took pity on me and towed me to
my insurance broker. I have paid my fine, I have
insured my truck, and I have over 700 good reasons never to forget to pay my insurance again.
The last word goes to my son Russell who said:
“Brian, that was totally avoidable and you have
nobody to blame but yourself, so live with it.”
Please watch for tow trucks
By Don Clowers, Chairman
Columbia Valley Towing Association
The Columbia Valley Towing Association would
like at this time to remind all our drivers out on our
highways to drive with a great deal of care. Our winter months are again upon us all, and this time of the
year is most dangerous for the emergency crews that
are required to work on our roadways.
We have found that there is a growing trend of
drivers on the road that are showing little or no respect for emergency crews working at a scene. It is so
important to remember that when you see flashing
lights of any colour, slow down, move over and stop.
And if you are coming into a scene, slow down and
be ready to stop.
It is very dangerous in the winter months for
towing operators operating recovery unit on the
highway. Most people do not respect amber flashing
lights and this is a major problem when we are doing
a recovery of any size vehicle out of the ditch.
When you, as the driver of any vehicle, see Red
Traffic Flares, Red Lights, Blue Lights, Amber Lights
or White Lights flashing, do us a favor - slow down,
watch for a traffic control person, and be prepared
to stop.
We have asked to have a light color change for
all recovery units, but to this date we have heard
nothing from the B.C. government in charge of
this issue. The Towing Association has written MLA
Wendy McMahon and again, we have heard nothing. Someone will have to get injured or killed before the government will look at this problem.
Recovery vehicles at times must block half the
highway or even all the highway to get a recovery
done. Drivers much watch and be aware of the signs
that the towing firm puts out with orange flags on
top of the signs. The signs will tell you what you
need you to do. Traffic control personnel look after
doing the traffic. They look after your safety and also
our safety.
Public safety is our responsibility, and our safety
is your responsibility. Be aware of what is going on
when you drive. Vehicles you need to watch for:
Snow Plows, Sand Trucks, Police Cars, Ambulances,
Tow Trucks, Fire Rescue. Let us all go home safe!

three accidents
By Elinor Florence
Pioneer Staff
Black ice near Fairmont Hot Springs created
pandemonium last Saturday morning as three vehicles hit the ditch within 30 minutes.
“It was so slick that when you tried to stand on
the road, the breeze could cause you to slide across
the pavement,” said RCMP Const. Rob Weaver.
He said the first vehicle, a white Sports Utility Vehicle, was travelling north at 8:15 a.m. when
it came down the hill just south of Dutch Creek
Road, skidded across the centre line and rolled into
the ditch. One person in the vehicle was injured
and an ambulance from Invermere was called.
Within ten minutes, another white Sports
Utility Vehicle was driving just north of Fairmont,
when it also skidded on black ice, crossed the centre line and plunged into the ditch.
When the ambulance approached Fairmont
from the north, the paramedics spotted the second
vehicle in the ditch at 8:47 a.m. and assumed it
was their destination. But when the ambulance
tried to stop, it, too, crossed the centre line and
plunged about 10 metres down the bank. One of
the paramedics suffered an injured foot.
An ambulance was dispatched from Kimberley
to attend the first accident; and another ambulance
was dispatched from Golden to attend the paramedic in the Invermere ambulance. Meanwhile
trucks arrived to put gravel on the road and the
dangerous road conditions were corrected.
“It could have been a lot worse,” said Const.
Weaver. “All three vehicles crossed the centre line
so it’s a good thing nobody was seriously hurt.”

constipation is a major problem among Canadians. A recent
survey showed that 90% of Canadians are suffering from some
degree of constipation.
“There are many reasons why constipation is such a problem”
states Brenda Watson, president of the International Association
of Colon Therapists (I-ACT) and a specialist on the topic of
digestive care and cleansing. “The modern diet consists mainly
of refined and processed foods. These foods do not breakdown
and digest well in the body and as a result, it is difficult for the
body to process the leftover materials through the colon. Further,
we do not drink nearly enough water, causing dehydration of the
bowel. This makes for stool that is hard and difficult for the
colon to eliminate.”

only one of the keys to good health, but it also ensures that the
body is less susceptible to disease” says Watson. “The colon is
our main pathway of elimination for toxic materials. If it is not
functioning properly, this toxic load begins to enter the blood
stream, causing major damage to the body’s cells and organs.
This is the beginning of poor health and disease.”

ARTIST PROFILE
The Blue Rooster Pottery
By Michelle Taylor
Special to The Pioneer
Why the Blue Rooster? Why not
the Happy Hen or the Orange Chicken? Owner and artist Lesley Starnes
discovered her feathered friend while
honeymooning off the coast of Fiji.
She and newlywed Nicholas Dimitropoulos were staying on the Vatulele
Island when they viewed several drawings on the side of a cliff in the ocean.
One particular design that captured
Lesley’s eyes was a jungle fowl. After
some manipulation from Leslie, this
fledgling turned into a “little rooster
with attitude,” thus originating the
Blue Rooster Pottery we know today.
Business and life partner, Nicholas was a professional hairdresser for
over 35 years. He started working in
his homeland in Greece and moved
around the world, finally settling in
Canada. Nicholas is a big part of the
business, filling the role of technician,
making all pieces that are not done on
the wheel and assisting with sales.
You’ll see more than roosters
here. Lesley has many designs and series of work. When walking her Red
Standard poodle Brina down by the
lake one day, an idea came to her. As
she has created many designs of the
mountains and skiing, she had yet
to do something on the lake. Thus
“Winter on the Lake” was born and
the new series was launched this season. You could say this new design has
been selling like hot plates, as Lesley
has been very busy making extra pieces this Christmas season.
Lesley Starnes shows off a piece from her new series, Winter on the Lake.
The “Winter on the Lake” series
depicts artistic impressions of children
and snowmen skating on the lake. Her
pottery contains artwork on every surface - top, bottom and sides. In her
winter series, Lesley felt it only appropriate to depict the lake from above
and below the surface. You turn a dish
upside down and a view from beneath
the ice including fish and plant life.
Lesley obtained her honours degree in Material Arts from the Ontario
College of Arts. She has been a teacher
of the arts through much of Canada.
She specializes in “maiolica” glaze

technique, which is a method of pottery that dates back to the 15th century. The first step involves throwing
the clay onto the pottery wheel. The
most important part of the process is
making sure the clay is centered when
starting, otherwise the material will
not shape properly.
Once the basic piece is formed,
such as a mug, plate, or platter for example, it is biscuit-fired. At that point
the object is porous and will accept the
glaze that is white or cream-coloured.
Then the artwork is hand-painted.
Firing on a low heat is the final step.
This firing allows the colour and glaze
to melt together, giving it a signature
look.
What is the difference between
low fire and high fire? The advantage
of low fire pottery is that the colour
holds. Colours will burn out of the
pottery when it is high fired. All of
the earthenware pottery is functional
and can be used for containing food,
cooking or displaying as art.
When Lesley is not busy working
in her studio, she enjoys hiking in the
mountains and walking throughout
Invermere.
“My work is very physical and you
tend to get yourself into certain positions for long periods of time. It can be
really tough on your joints,” she says.
Some pieces of clay that is thrown on
the wheel can weigh as much as 18
pounds. She tries to vary her tasks as
much as possible so she does not place
so much stress on her body. “I walk
everyday. It really stretches me out.”
Lesley also enjoys reading and
crossword puzzles. “It is important
to keep the brain active as well,” she
says.
The Blue Rooster Pottery will be
cutting back on their hours in 2005 to
weekends only (Friday-Sunday).
“We came out here to retire ten
years ago and find we are busier than
ever. In the future I want to focus on
one-of-a-kind pieces and have more
time for creative exploration.” The
Blue Rooster pottery will always be
found at the Village Arts Co-op on
main street, as well as Lesley’s website:
www.blueroosterpottery.ca.

My Christmas gift to you
By Fraser Coltman,
Associate Pastor
St. Peter’s Lutheran Mission
How do you feel about Christmas?
I know, you really don’t have time to think about
questions like that right now. There’s so much to do:
letters still waiting to be written and mailed, gifts
yet to be purchased and wrapped, meals and gatherings to be planned, trips to be arranged, and the list
goes on.
Have you ever noticed how much effort it is to
get through this season? Why, I just heard a report
that Christmas is one of the worst seasons of the
year for stress-related health problems. Not much
surprise in that, is there?
Why would a time of year, which for so many
people is seen as vital to their economic well-being,
be a time of pressure? Why would a season so stuffed
with well-meaning but unrealistic expectations give
us ulcers?
I have a prediction (my tongue is in my cheek,
folks, because I’m a pastor - not a psychic). I predict
that in a few years people will so fed up with Christmas that they will begin to talk about abolishing it.
Before that happens, though, may I offer a suggestion? Is it possible that our problem lies not with
Christmas so much as with our misunderstanding
about the feast itself?
Last chance to give
before Christmas
Please take this last week before Christmas to
think about some of the worthy causes in our com-

Christmas today is so focused on us, and on
what we must do to make it just right, that it misses
the point and messes us up.
At its heart Christmas is not about human goodwill and gift giving. It’s about God.
“God so loved the world that He gave His only
Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish
but have eternal life” (John 3:16). God cared for us
so much that He gave us a gift in the person of His
Son, Jesus Christ.
Many of us today might look upon Jesus as we
might other gifts given to us that we don’t think we
need. Socks when we have a drawer full. A CD by
an artist whose music we’ve never really liked.
Here’s my Christmas gift to you this year: a simple suggestion. Take a moment to rethink your attitude towards Jesus. What do you really know about
Him? Most Canadians know very little about Him,
yet confidently assume that they have no need of the
life He came to give them. Are you among them?
Here’s one more suggestion: give yourself a gift
this year. It won’t cost you anything but an hour of
your time.
Visit a nearby church on Christmas Eve (there
might even be some services listed in this paper) to
learn more about the gift God gave you so many
years ago.
It just might change the way you feel about
Christmas.
munity that always need funds, such as the Food
Bank and the Family Resource Centre; and others outside our valley such as the Salvation Army.
Don’t forget there are many organizations working
to support the needy in developing countries such
as World Vision or any of our local churches.
