Closing up the cabin for the season

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Winterizing your barbecue will mean it is ready for you next spring.

PHOTO SUBMITTED

As painful as it is to close down the cottage for the winter, what you do now will save you time and expense come next season.

Whether you want to or you have to, fall is usually the time to close down the cottage for the winter. Holiday weekends are spent in town, and a busy fall family schedule means you won’t have much time to escape to the country any more. Here

is a list to help you remember all the things that need to be done before hanging up the cottage key for the winter.

First of all, take the time to clean and store all the outdoor furniture, lawnmower, bikes, and any gardening equip-

ment. If you own some kind of watercraft, ¿nd out from the manufacturer if they need any special type of maintenance before they are put into winter storage.

Lots of jobs have to be done inside the cottage as well. Empty the fridge and if your cottage is in the woods, ensure that you don’t leave any traces of food for mice to be drawn to. Unplug the fridge and clean it thoroughly, leaving the door ajar.

Remove and wash the bedding and then store it in a dry place, such as in plastic storage bins.

Lower the heating enough to maintain a

minimum temperature of at least 5°C to prevent pipes from freezing. If you live in an area with severe winters, pour about half a litre of plumbing antifreeze down the drain pipes. Turn off the cottage’s water supply and then the electricity to the water heater. This should then be emptied using a hosepipe connected to the purge control valve.

Empty all the other water pipes by opening the taps fully. After that, all you’ll have to do is purge the water pump.

Get your BBQ ready for winter Unless you have a natural gas barbecue that is connected directly to your home’s fuel supply, the chilly days of late fall signal the end of outdoor cooking. It is also the time to winterize your barbecue properly in order to prolong its life and look.

Of all the different components, the grill is the one that deserves the most attention.

Removing all traces of food is essential, especially after you have ¿nished cooking the last meal. This is above all

Because a ¿replace is the centrepiece of any room, decorative objects to be displayed around it must be chosen very carefully.

Whether the mantel and surround of your ¿replace are wide or narrow, decorative or not, there is one main principle to respect when highlighting this inviting feature: your personality. Start with your favourite work of art, placing it in the centre

of the mantel to create a focal point. This could be a statue, a candelabrum, an antique bowl, or a Àower arrangement. Then group similar objects here and there around this central piece, extending out to the ends of the mantel.

“Similar” objects means choosing ones of the same style and colour.

burners. Brushes that have been designed for this job are available at specialized retailers.

On the outside of the barbecue, use linseed oil to get rid of any rust on the cover. When all rust is removed, it can be repainted with a heat resistant paint.

This retouching not only improves the look of your barbecue, it will also prevent rust from reappearing over the winter while the barbecue is in storage.

a question of hygiene.

Use some steel wool or a metal brush with soapy water for cast iron grills. More expensive barbecues are often equipped with stainless steel grills which should be cleaned with a cloth, mild soap, and hot water. If you don’t want to go to a lot of trouble, do a self-clean by turning the burners on high and letting all food residues burn off.

same style in order to create a balanced effect.

With balance still in mind, mix small objects with larger ones and resist the temptation to overcrowd. The individual interest of each item would disappear and the result would look disorganized.

If you really don’t like the look of your ¿replace, it is possible to improve its appearance.

For example, you could paint the mantel and surround it with imitation marble or dress it up with little mirrors in such a way as to give the room more sparkle and light. You could also look for an antique mantelpiece and just install the lintel, on which you could attach a glass shelf for a perfect blend of styles and eras.

Kootenay Country Fair

by Kirsten Renner

Over the last few days, the mornings have been getting noticeably cooler. There is a crispness in the air and fall certainly is around the corner. The crispness in the air might signal the beginning of the end and is time to say ‘Good Bye’ to hot summer nights and Àip-Àops, however, now yards and gardens also yield their bounty and fall fairs give gardeners and artisans a chance to display their wares.

The Kootenay Country Fair has been celebrating harvest and crafting skills for 35 years. It is held at Fort Steele Heritage Town this Sunday, September 9, from 9 am to 4:30 pm. There will be something for everyone to see, from garden produce and scarecrows, home baking and preserves, to needlework and photography.

The historic setting at Fort Steele adds to the old-time appeal of this fair and with regular gate admission waived on fair day, this is an affordable day of fun, food and entertainment for the entire family. Prices are $4.50 for adults, $3.50 for seniors and children age 6 to 13. Families pay $13.50 and children under 6 are free.

Admission includes access to the entire heritage site and there will be lots of activities the entire day, from demonstrations and a petting zoo to face painting and games entertainers and caricatures. “We want to have a community family day,” explains Trudy Larsen a longtime volunteer with the fair.

Families will not have to go hungry either.

There will be a pancake breakfast and barbecue lunch at the International Hotel and snacks are available from various concessions all day long.

In fact, one of Larsen’s favourite memories of the fair has to do with food.

A few years ago, she and a fellow volunteer were taking a quick break. Sitting by the gazebo, watching the crowds, they encountered a scene that made them realize what the fair was all about. “What we saw was a family, sitting on a blanket on the grass, having a picnic lunch and having a fun day.”

But of course, the fair is also about exhibiting the products of people’s hard work in the garden or the kitchen, with a needle or using a camera, paint brush and lots of creativity. “It’s always nice for kids and adults as well to show their talent,” Larsen says.

There are dozens of categories people can enter, from the most unusual vegetable to best decorated giant cookie, best antipasto, most impressive scrapbook, most stunning photograph and everything in between.

Over the years, one of the most popular categories, Larsen states, has been ‘Reduce, Reuse & Recycle’ where adults and children create new products – either useful or artistic – from recycled material. “It’s quite amazing what they think of and use garbage for,” she says.

Entry forms for the fair can still be dropped off before 5pm on Tuesday, September 4, at Top Crop Garden, Farm & Pet and Cranbrook Pho-

to in Cranbrook as well as Top Crop Too in Kimberley. Late entries may be displayed, but will not be judged.

All exhibits will have to be dropped off for judging at the Fort Steele opera house on Saturday, September 8, between 1:30 and 3:30 pm. There is a 50¢ charge per item.

Items will then be displayed for the public all day Sunday, Whatever is not picked up by 4:30 pm that day is going up for auction and Larsen encourages visitors to stay and take part in this fun ¿nale to the fair.

All the organizers of the Kootenay Country Fair are volunteers, so any money raised goes right back into paying for entertainment and other expenses. “We also give a bursary of $1,000 to a graduating student from Cranbrook each year and one to a Kimberley student,” Larsen adds. Holly Sperling from Mount Baker Secondary and Amy Cornelson from Selkirk Secondary were the most recent recipients of the bursary. Both students are pursuing careers in food studies, agriculture, horticulture or the arts.

Larsen knows that all this would not be possible without the help of community sponsors who support the fair by advertising in the booklet and sponsoring the individual categories.

She also thanks the many people who participate in the juried exhibition, a large number of them returning year after year to show their skills.

Whitecaps FC Academy is coming to increase region soccer skills

PHOTO BOB HALL

Whitecaps FC Okanagan head coach David Broadhurst at Nelson’s Lakeside pitch on Tuesday night for the ¿rst of a two-night evaluation for the upcoming Vancouver Whitecaps FC Academy program that is coming to the Kootenay this fall. Almost 100 soccer players from around the region have tried out for the academy.

By Bob Hall If the swarm of young soccer enthusiasts at Lakeside pitch on Tuesday night is any indication, the new Vancouver Whitecaps FC Academy program is going to be a hit in the West Kootenay.

“I’m really pleased to see so many players out,” said David Broadhurst, the Whitecaps FC Okanagan head coach.

“I wasn’t expecting to see close to a 100 players, it’s fantastic. It’s great to see that there is interest here in the Kootenays for what we are trying to offer.”

The academy’s aim is to give players that are already with clubs in the East and West Kootenay supplemental training with the best coaching the province has to offer. The academy will include four age groups for both girls and boys: U11/12, U13/14, U15/16 and U17/18.

The Nelson evaluation session earlier this week included players from Nelson, Trail, Castlegar, Grand Forks and everywhere in between.

Three years ago the Whitecaps moved their ¿rst academy program outside the Lower Mainland to Vernon.

Broadhurst runs the program there and has already seen plenty of success. The move into

the Kootenay is the ¿rst push farther into BC’s hinterland.

“I think Dave [Spendlove] and [Nelson’s] Soccer Quest have done a great job in this community,” Broadhurst told the Star when asked about why there was such a positive turnout for the ¿rst sessions. “Their reputation is good and the small pieces of work we have done with them in previous years, the mes-

sage is getting out that we are going to be here for the long run.”

The program runs for seven months starting in September and ending in April (there is a two month winter break in December and January). The training includes eight weekends at Nelson’s Soccer Quest indoor facility.

Four travel events per age group will also be part of the academy.

Based on the evaluations on Tuesday and Wednesday night at Lakeside, those players accepted into the program will be noti¿ed and begin their training next month.

“As a club we are completely committed to player development, it’s crucial for us to survive,” Broadhurst said of the motivation for the Whitecaps to extend their reach. “As a club, the dream is to have homegrown talent, even on our ¿rst team… that is what the fans want and the owners would love to see it. The more work we can do in the smaller districts, working with the coaches and the players, it will

bene¿t our program in the long run.”

Broadhurst grew up in England where football is king. He spent 12 years coaching with the Manchester United

Soccer Schools at international projects in the UK, Japan and Switzerland. Though soccer in Canada still has a long way to go to catch up to worldwide leaders like

lesson that will be a good investment in the local economy. Make the most of the back to school shopping blitz to raise your children’s awareness of the many bene¿ts of shopping locally.

There’s only one condition for turning this intensive training into a resounding success: you just have to buy all school supplies and clothing items from businesses near you.

When shopping with your children at local stores for stationery,

books, school bags, clothes, shoes, sporting equipment, and electronics, mention to your kids that when local people frequent these stores they are helping to create jobs and incomes for others in their town.

Bring to your children’s attention the fact that if these businesses remain pro¿table, one day they might be the source of a summer job or even, at a later date, a full-time job that will allow them to stay in the town they grew up

LUNG HEALTH & AIR QUALITY A PUBLIC FORUM ADDRESSING LUNG HEALTH ISSUES

Tobacco Wood smoke and its health impacts

Truckers keep the economy rolling

By Blair Lekstrom Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure It can be easy to forget amid the activity of our day-to-day lives the extent to which the trucking industry directly impacts each and every one of us here in British Columbia.

Truckers in B.C. are the backbone of the provincial economy, and once a year, as part of National Trucking Week, we take time to celebrate the outstanding workforce that helps drive B.C.’s economy. More than 29,000 British Columbians work in the trucking industry, which generates approximately $2 billion annually in revenues in B.C. Virtually every part of our economy depends on the trucking industry - oil and gas, forestry, mining and agriculture, just to name a few.

The trucking industry plays a vital role in connecting our province with intercontinental and international trading partners, and ensuring British Columbia’s competitive position in the global marketplace.

New and emerging markets in Asia are providing B.C. with jobs and opportunities throughout the province, and truckers play a crucial role in getting goods to market and supporting our position as Canada’s Paci¿c Gateway.

As part of the BC Jobs Plan, our goal is to boost domestic, cross-border and global export opportunities, bring new investment into all regions of the province, accelerate job creation and grow revenues which support B.C. families. The British Columbia Trucking Association plays a key role in helping us achieve these goals.

We look forward to continuing to develop positive working relationships with our industry partners, including the B.C. Trucking Asso-

ciation.

I am proud to of¿cially proclaim Sept. 2 to 8, 2012 as National Trucking Week in B.C.

There is a mother who misses you sadly And Âżnds the time long since you went.

And I think of you daily and hourly But try to be brave and content.

But the tears that I shed are in silence.

And I breathe a sigh of regret, For you were mine, and I remember, Though all the world forget.
