Slocan spill spews fuel across wide area MARVIN BEATTY Castlegar News Reporter

A driver was lucky to escape serious injury after his tanker overturned on a remote forestry service road, spilling almost 35,000 litres of very toxic Jet A-1 fuel into Lemon Creek in the Slocan Valley west of Winlaw on Friday, July 26.

A local state of emergency was declared and evacuations of areas around Lemon Creek and the Slo-

can River began shortly thereafter. At one point, almost 2,500 homes were affected by the order. Highway 6, from the junction with Highway 3A to junction with Highway 31A in New Denver was closed until Saturday afternoon.

Interior Health has issued a Do Not Use water order for all surface source users on Lemon Creek, Slocan River and the Kootenay River above and below Brilliant Dam to the

confluence of the Columbia and Kootenay Rivers at Castlegar. The Do Not Use order remains in effect until further notice. Residents drawing from wells are not impacted by this order.

The City of Castlegar water supply is not affected as water is drawn from Lower Arrow Lake.

Dr. Trevor Corneil, medical health officer for Interior Health, said through other media sources that approximately 40 peo-

ple have been treated for minor throat irritation.

The fuel involved (Jet Fuel A-1) is a volatile organic compound that in high concentrations (liquid or gas) can cause significant damage to skin, lung tissue, gastrointestinal tissue, and brain tissue. Volatile organic compounds such as these can also exacerbate any chronic diseases such as emphysema, heart disease, and neuromuscular disorders.

The Regional District of Central Kootenay’s Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) held a public meeting at the Winlaw Community Hall Tuesday night to address issues regarding the spill. Representatives from the Ministry of Environment, Interior Health Authority, Wildfire Management Branch and the company - Executive Flight Centre, which is headquartered in Calgary...

Castlegar News Reporter

Castlegar resident and former Revelstoke city councillor, Antoinette Halberstadt, has decided to join those running for the vacant council seat in the City of Castlegar by-election.

Halberstadt sat down with the Castlegar News on Sunday, July 28 for an interview about who she is and why she’s entering the race.

“I have a history, ever since I was 21 or younger, of wanting citizen engagement and wanting to empower people in the democratic process,” said the retired 64-year-old. “I was born in South Africa which, as you may know, was more or less a police state while I was growing up there, so that issue was really important to me.”

Halberstadt, who had previously spent about 22 years in the

Antoinette Halberstadt has decided to run in the City of Castlegar by-election Sept. 14. Marvin Beatty

Slocan Valley and another eleven years in Revelstoke, has lived in Castlegar for slightly more than a year.

“I was a councillor for one [three year] term in Revelstoke and absolutely believe I would have been re-elected in a landslide if I had run again,” she said. “But I retired because I was about to retire from my employment as an ambulance paramedic, my grandkids had just moved to Castlegar and everything was in flux. If I had

left mid-term that wouldn’t have been fair [to them].”

Halberstadt said that as a Revelstoke councillor she enjoyed going “right to the hub” of groups who wanted or were upset by something.

She said by listening and putting her finger on whatever information they wanted to put out, she could show them the processes to best help them.

When asked if she was excited to be running for another leadership position Halberstadt said she didn’t see it as a leadership position.

“I’m not running for mayor,” she laughed. “I’m a natural community leader but if you’re going to be mayor you have to be dotting your ‘I’s’ and crossing your ‘T’s’ all the time; you’re in the public eye all the time. I do like to be able to kick back a little bit every now and then.”

Halberstadt

said people in Revelstoke had asked her to run for mayor but she wasn’t sure if she could weather it.

“I was also a leader within my union as an ambulance paramedic,” she said. “I was an ambulance paramedic for 25 years, mostly in the Slocan Valley. I was the unit chief in Winlaw for about six years.”

Halberstadt said the first thing that prompted her to look at running was the issue with pesticide use in the city. She said she “stumbled across” the Facebook page for the Citizens for a Pesticide Free Castlegar and Area and thought that as she had helped with a similar issue in Revelstoke, she would offer her assistance.

“In no time at all it turned into my taking on quite a leadership role there and it reminded me of how much I enjoy helping people,” she said.

She said when one

of the people in the campaign suggested she had an ability to “get things done” and would “vote for her any day,” it started her thinking about running in the by-election.

“I want to be councillor in Castlegar because this is where my grandchildren’s future is,” said Halberstadt.

“I have many ties here from my years in the Slocan Valley.”

Halberstadt said her first instinct in a crisis is “to dive right into the middle of it, take stock of what’s going on, diagnose what needs fixing and get on with it.”

The by-election date is Saturday, Sept.

14. The Castlegar News will continue to interviews candidates that step forward. A reminder, too, that the Castlegar Chamber of Commerce is hosting a by-election debate Tuesday, Aug. 27 at 7 p.m. at the Sandman Inn (1944 Columbia Avenue).

News IBEW and FortisBC labour deal no closer marvin beatty Castlegar News Reporter

Rod Russell, IBEW Local 213 spokesperson and business manager, said that he is frustrated with the ongoing strike and discussions with FortisBC about when approximately 240 workers will be able to return to work.

Russell spoke by telephone to the Castlegar News Wednesday, July 31 while en route to Kelowna, after he and a small delegation attended labour board meetings with FortisBC in Vancouver.

“The company withdrew their application to get rid of the current order [essential services order] and put in a new one,” said Russell. “I think they wanted to get rid of every compromise they had agreed to and I’m not sure exactly why because they aren’t following them anyway.”

Russell said the IBEW made an ap-

plication to expand picketing because some work normally done by IBEW was transferred. He said the company provided a letter stating that practice would not be done anymore.

The involvement of Mediator Vince Ready is being discussed to try and bring the two sides closer to an agreement and Russell said they are looking at tentative dates of Aug. 21 to 23 to sit down with him.

“When we talked about Vince Ready, I presented the company with a return to work proposal,” he said. “No good can come with us being locked out still.”

Russell said FortisBC is not following the essential services order and an agreement with them is “not worth the paper it’s printed on.”

“They gave us the last offer and we said it wouldn’t be acceptable,” said Russell.

“They didn’t believe us and they keep un-

derestimating the resolve of the membership.”

Russell said anger and resentment are building and the process has been incredibly frustrating for many. He said there are some people who don’t even want to return to work at this point.

“The company doesn’t like to use the word lockout but that’s what it is,” said Russell in an earlier call. “They’ve also got managers who are out doing our jobs and they aren’t always qualified. They’re getting tired.”

Neal Pobran, corporate communications manager with FortisBC was reached for comment about the situation on Tuesday, July 23.

“It’s been lengthy,” said Pobran. “It started really with job action finalized on June 26, so we’re into about our third week of true job action. During that time, though, we did offer the IBEW

a more competitive offer with no concessions to wages or benefits.”

Pobran acknowledged that no dates were scheduled to go back to the bargaining table but said FortisBC was hopeful that something could be set up.

He also said he wasn’t sure about Russell’s claims of managers becoming fatigued while covering duties of those on the picket lines.

If there is a storm or some sort of larger-reaching customer concern, we can do a call out to IBEW members to assist to make sure the power comes back on to our customers.”

“We’re open to negotiations,” said Pobran. “Hopefully, we can get back to the table.”

BCAS delayed the date of the rollout of the new system for a couple of months but then laid off payroll people; which meant they couldn’t delay any further.

“They transitioned us knowing that people would not get paid,” said Barter.

Farmer’s Market vouchers to be available through food bank

Columbia Basin Culture Tour Aug 10 - 11, 2013 10:00am - 5:00pm

MARVIN BEATTY Castlegar News Reporter

Deb McIntosh, who co-ordinates the Heritage Society Vendor Market held every Saturday at the Station Museum in Castlegar, isn’t waiting to see if an application to register for the Farmer’s Market Nutrition Coupon Program is successful for 2014.

Instead, she has already made arrangements for a local solution.

Last week, the B.C. Government announced an additional $2 million for the province-wide program and added 13 new farmer’s markets to the list of those participating.

At the time, McIntosh was unaware of the program’s existence and was eager to get an application in.

In the interim, she quickly put together a similar program and announced the details on Friday, July 26.

“Starting in August, vouchers will be available with the food hampers provided through the food bank,” she said. “They will be good for the following Saturday’s market [at the museum].”

The vouchers will be valid at the Castlegar Farmers’ Market on the day stated on the voucher.

Vendors will accept the vouchers like cash and the Food Bank will reimburse the vendor at the end of the mar-

ket based on the number of vouchers received.

The vouchers will be good for vegetables, fruit, herbs, dairy or eggs and are non-transferable and cannot be redeemed for cash.McIntosh said that she is seeking letters of support from the City of Castlegar and MLA Katrine Conroy to help ensure the application with the government program is successful.

Keep the info flowing

Last Friday’s jet fuel spill in the Slocan Valley reminds us how important crisis communications are to those involved in the transportation of dangerous goods.

It also serves to remind us that often in a crisis, there is simply no time to do everything perfectly on all fronts, to the satisfaction of everyone involved.

Responding agencies simply do the best they can to ensure public safety.

With an incident such as this, emergency responders have one goal: getting anyone who may be in harm’s way, out. Hence the reason evacuation orders were issued, then expanded.

The RCMP took the precaution of closing highway 6 and the Regional District of Central Kootenay declared a local state of emergency.

Some have said none of this happened as fast as it should have. Others say potable water and websites created to provide residents with information were not created fast enough or did not contain enough information.

The company involved in the spill sent crews to the site quickly and worked to provide factual information to media sources as they became aware of it. The RDCK, Ministry of Environment, Interior Health and others did likewise.

Many crews spent a long night knocking on doors, issuing notices and answering a barrage of questions they may not have had answers to.

They deserve a thank-you.

In the end, we’re glad the driver sustained only minor injuries and there was no loss of life.

We want to hear from you.

Spots in Time - Gord Turner

Paddling the silvery Slocan I’ve always been charmed by those lines of poetry by Pauline Johnson describing what it’s like to canoe in the summer: “August is laughing against the sky/Laughing while paddle canoe and I.” This year I didn’t wait for the late summer warmth of August to go canoeing on my favourite lake—the Slocan. My canoe partner David and I took two separate trips in July—one with young people I’d never canoed with before, and one with older veterans of the lake.

Over the years, I’ve canoed a lot of different rivers and lakes. Perhaps the most memorable was the eight-day trip on the Bowron Lake circuit with my brother and three of my children when they were younger. My memories include the thrill my young children had at every new test of lake or stream.

As well, I’ve canoed several rivers (some several times) including the Columbia, the Slocan, the Caribou, and the Kettle in British Columbia. Add to that the Red Deer and Milk rivers in Alberta, and I’ve slipped through many channels and found my way to many take-out spots.

Each year I look forward to returning to Slocan Lake. The draw is the Cindy Amaral Production Manager

Sandy Leonard Production

west side of the lake with its wilderness aspects. A number of years ago, environmentalists and outdoors people sought to create a conservancy on the western shores of the Slocan. They were successful in their quest, and so Valhalla Provincial Park was formed.

What that means is that no serious logging takes place there, no new roads are being built, and access to the western shore is mainly by boat. True, visitors can hike from Slocan City to the first camping spot at Evans Creek, and major car camping at Wragge Beach exists toward the north end of the lake. But beyond that, canoeists are on their own.

Clearly, the Valhalla wilderness on the west side of Slocan Lake represents a retreat from civilization. Here you set up your tent on a bit of gravel, you fix food that may have a few grains of sand in it, and you drink Adam’s good ale from the nearby rushing creek. In our case, David and I drink his boiled coffee that he affectionately calls “Texas” coffee.

The limited access to the western shore of Slocan keeps the number of visitors down. The people you meet in your campsite (if any do show up) are other canoeists, kayakers, and boaters out on day trips. You can spend your

evenings watching the trout rise and creating small plips as they re-enter the lake.

It’s possible to canoe the entire 30 km. length of Slocan Lake, which can take canoeists from three to five days depending on how much camping they want to do. We’ve done this trip, entering at the north end in Hills or launching from the sand at Wragge Beach. Take-out is at the main beach at Slocan City.

Along the way, canoeists have camping sites at major creeks roaring down from the Valhallas—Wee Sandy Creek, Nemo Creek, Sharp’s Creek, and Evans Creek, each with its own waterfall or cascade. Other campsites are interspersed along the lake.

If you don’t want to do much canoeing and your focus is on camping, you can launch at Roseberry, New Denver, and Silverton and simply cross the lake to one of the fine camping spots available. Mornings and evenings are the best times to cross the lake as the wind often begins to blow down the lake in the afternoon.

There’s nothing finer than setting out on a quiet, early morning on the glassy-smooth, silvery Slocan with only the sound of the paddles dipping, dipping.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Writer suggests pestcide-free lawn care can be more economical A recent “Thanks & Spanks” post, bewailing City parks being watered almost daily while residents are fined if they do so outside of their allotted days, reminded me not only that pesticide-treated lawns need frequent watering, wasting both water and hence tax dollars, but also that the lawns’ dependence on the purchase of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers becomes an increasingly expen-

sive addiction.

Evidence shows that converting to organic turf-maintenance, i.e. nurturing healthy soil microbiology and hence strong grass that overtakes the weeds, is cheaper in the long run. More labour-intensive care such as proper aeration, compost topdressing and natural soil amendments, cost a bit more for the first two years and then drop significantly. Vancouver,

Port Moody, Burnaby, Ottawa and Halifax have found pesticide-free care to be cost effective.

To quote a rigorous report prepared for members of the New York State legislature in 2010, “the annual cost of maintaining a field using natural products and techniques can be as much as 25 per cent lower than the cost of conventional programs using chemical fertilizers and pesti-

cides.

“It can take a few seasons to undo the damage caused by chemical management programs, revitalize the soil biology and let nature do its work,” says the report’s principal author, Charles “Chip” Osborne, a nationally-recognized natural turf expert and Beyond Pesticides board member who serves as a consultant to many New York school districts. “But

once we get the soil biology working for us, we can see some dramatic and significant cost reductions fairly quickly.”

I’ve provided this information to our Civic Works department, as well as links to North America’s

foremost advisor on natural turf management, Paul Tukey of www.safelawns.org, and contacts with pesticide-free municipalities such as Revelstoke, Nelson and Grand Forks.

Looking forward to attending this Tues-

day’s 9:00 a.m. Civic Works Committee meeting, at 4500 Minto Road, to hear them digesting and deliberating on this win-win alternative.

-Antoinette Halberstadt, Castlegar

The City of Castlegar is seeking a qualified applicant for a second Deputy Chief position within the Fire Department. The successful applicant for this full time position will report directly to the Fire Chief and will fulfill a major role in assisting the Fire Chief in the daily operation of the Fire Department.

Pressure on to fix paramedics payroll

The successful candidate must be proficient and experienced in a leadership / supervisory capacity in the fire service and possess extensive knowledge of firefighting, the Fire Services Act, the BC Fire Code and the BC Building Code. The Deputy Fire Chief must have a demonstrated ability to lead, motivate and train volunteer members of the Fire Department. The incumbent will be expected to work with volunteers to develop an atmosphere of cooperation and teamwork.

Continued from Pg. A3

The Deputy Fire Chief shall perform all duties as assigned by the Fire Chief; coordinate and supervise all department training; respond to alarms, relieve subordinates of command when necessary, direct firefighting, rescues, safety, salvage and overhaul operations; prepare and maintain Fire Department reports; act as Fire Department dispatcher when required; perform highly skilled inspections and regulatory work of a complex nature of premises for compliance with regulations; and, on occasion, act as Fire Chief during the Fire Chief ’s absence. It is a requirement of this position to provide on call coverage during evenings and weekends every third week.

BCAS said to their knowledge all staff have received all or most of their pay from the July 12 pay date and expect the majority of problems to be resolved by August 23.

Barter, who lives in Trail and is the chief at the station in Nelson, said what really impacts part-time paramedics around the Kootenays is that a lot of them travel to their jobs in urban centres and it’s costing them money to work.

“A lot of them are working their way up to full-time careers and they can’t afford to even get to work,”

she said. “We don’t see them fixing this anytime soon. They’ve actually updated us and said it could be the end of August which isn’t going to cut it for the people paying mortgages and bills. With the jobs paramedics are doing — intervening in people’s lives and saving lives — the last thing they need is the stress of [wondering] can I pay my mortgage, put gas in my car and feed my family.”

BCAS said it has issued cheques immediately for any staff who experienced a significant impact to their pay and allocated over 60 staff to work extended hours

in order to solve the problems.

District Managers were also assigned to triage the complaints and they said they are doing all they can to improve the system and minimize impact to employees.

Barter was contacted for an update on Wednesday, July 31 and said some employees did not receive pay again on Friday, July 26.

“The desperate ones are calling us,” said Barter. “Our regional vice presidents around the province are flooded with calls and emails and a lot of people are angry and distraught. We’re losing the calm we

had before — people are getting more frustrated. They [BCAS] told us it’s quicker if they don’t cut manual cheques; it’s quicker if they put it [the owed funds] on the next payroll but then the second pay came through and in some cases it’s still missing from that.”

BCAS Central Kootenay Superintendent Chris Mason said he has 14 active equiries as of Wednesday, from a total staffing in the district of 146.

Mason said a provincial working group is sharing solutions to issued and paramedics should let a supervisor know if their pay is not accurate.

The preferred candidate will hold NFPA 1001 certification, First Responder Level 3 certification and a valid BC Driver’s License Class 3, plus Air Brake Ticket.

Preference will be given to candidates with 5 years local government experience.

The City of Castlegar offers a competitive and comprehensive compensation package.

With the addition of this second Deputy Fire Chief position, the Castlegar Fire Department will employ three full time staff and is manned by approximately 30 volunteer fire fighters. Fire Department jurisdiction includes a municipal airport and airport firefighting experience is an asset.

As this is an emergency response position, the successful applicant will be required to reside within 10 kms of the Castlegar Fire Hall. The successful applicant will be required to provide a driver’s licence abstract, criminal records check and certificate of physical fitness as well as submit to a drug test prior to being offered the position.

Qualified applicants are invited to submit resumes with references, in confidence to the: City of Castlegar, 460 Columbia Avenue, Castlegar, BC V1N 1G7 Att: Personnel Officer Phone: (250) 365-7227 Email: crempel@castlegar.ca Website: www.castlegar.ca by 4:30 p.m., Friday, August 23, 2013.

We thank all applicants for their interest, however, only those selected for the interview process will be contacted.

Publishing

Two little magazines that could submitted

Nelson BC — After 12 years of publishing a local group of magazine makers has landed an extraordinary honour — two in fact.

Kootenay Mountain Culture (KMC) has been named Magazine of The Year for BC/Yukon by the esteemed Western Magazine Awards (WMA), an organization that for the past three decades has represented all of the magazine titles throughout BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Yukon.

What’s more, KMC’s partner publication, Coast Mountain Culture (CMC), has been awarded the Best New Magazine.

“We were really honoured,” says KMC/CMC publisher Peter Moynes, who attended the 31st annual WMAs with Editorial Director Mitchell Scott and CMC editor Mike Berard last month. “The first thing we thought of was all the support we’ve had from so many folks throughout the Kootenays, some for quite a while now — our families, all our readers, contributors and all the businesses who’ve put their trust in us.”

“The crowd at the awards let out a huge cheer and applause when we won Magazine of The Year,” says Scott.

“We’ve been the little guys that the big guys have been watching. We’ve had all kinds of kudos from all sorts of major league print and web media titles before—everyone from the National Post to National Geographic. But to have been chosen by all our peers for this, well, it’s really something extraordinary.”

KMC was up against a number of iconic Western Canadian publications including BC Business, Vancouver Magazine, Western Living and Geist. While the honours

for that matter.”

What onlookers say is most extraordinary about the KMC/CMC product, is the fact both magazines are free, relying entirely on advertising and distribution support.

Launched in 2001 as a tiny 28page handout, and today still run from over top Moynes’ backyard garage, Kootenay Mountain Culture (KMC) has been supported by small businesses, resorts and destination marketing organizations from throughout the West and East Kootenay and Columbia regions.

Moynes credits the magazine’s well-targeted distribution for the success, noting that the publications are essentially calling cards for the places and people the magazines’ writers and photographers tell stories about.

“We live in one of the greatest places in the world. We’re blessed. And to be able to work with so many people in the communities all around us, and help build their businesses, we consider ourselves very fortunate. Our sincere thanks go out to everyone.”

took the KMC cohorts by surprise, the awards are more than well-earned according to well-wishers at the WMAs and Canadian magazine veterans alike.

“When I first saw a copy of KMC, I couldn’t believe how polished a product it was, nor that it had emerged from a small town in B.C., of all places,” says Calgary-based writer Kevin Brooker. A journalist for the past 30 years, Brooker is a multiple WMA winner who contributes to publications including The Globe and Mail, Outside, Powder, ESPN and Applied Arts.

“Most of all, however, I was heartened to see that at a time when budget constraints and changing times are forcing a lot of magazines to lower print standards, replace custom photography with stock and reduce their editorial staff, KMC and CMC were forging a really sophisticated visual and literary voice,” says Brooker. “The products go light-years beyond anything that one normally encounters in the mountain/outdoors genre, or most any other genre

Provincial/National Privacy and cyberbullying – concerns everywhere the web goes marvin beatty Castlegar News Reporter

One of nine recommendations within a recently released government report is that a new criminal offence of non-con-

sensual distribution of intimate images be developed.

The report, titled Cyberbullying and the Non-consensual Distribution of Intimate Images, was crafted by a govern-

ment working group for the Federal, Provincial and Territorial Ministers Responsible for Justice and Public Safety.

The working group was tasked with reviewing the issue

of bullying and cyberbullying and, in addition to the new offence, also recommended enhancing current criminal law responses to such issues.

The Government of B.C. supports all nine recommendations according to a release dated July 19 from B.C.’s Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton. These include:

vacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham on Tuesday, July 30 with respect to the issue.

From a context perspective, Denham was quick to point out that she is mindful of her jurisdiction and any legislative amendments with respect to the Criminal Code of Canada will come from the federal government.

That noted, federal and provincial commissioners have been commenting over the years on various lawful access initiatives, the most recent being the failed bill C-30, the Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act. “I think the privacy commissioners across the country

- amendments to data preservation demands - new production orders to trace a specified communication - new warrants and production orders for transmission data - improving judicial oversight while enhancing efficiencies in relation to authorizations and warrants “Canadians have every expectation that our laws ensure their privacy and safety when engaging in these activities,” said part of Anton’s statement.

have shown through joint statements and letters that we are concerned with expansion of police powers and whether or not there are appropriate checks and balances and judicial oversight,” said Denham.

Denham said that if and when any of the recommendations from the report make their way into a government policy paper or legislation, then commissioners will weigh in on the issue of whether or not a proper balance between law enforcement powers and privacy is properly struck.

eral Government enact investigative tools and procedures to keep pace with modern technology, stating that Canada “lags far behind its international partners” in this regard.

Denham said she thinks cyberbullying, and being the victim of cyberstalking, is a significant social problem.

“I do think it’s positive that lawmakers are putting their heads together to come up with maybe some practical suggestions on how we update our laws,” she said. “It’s laudable but as privacy commissioner, it’s my duty to keep a close watch on these issues to make sure there’s a balance struck between new powers of enforcement and the individual rights of Canadians — it can’t be a blank cheque.”

Denham added that it can take many months if not years to put together major changes to legislation but if and when the Canadian Government moves forward on the issue of cyberbullying, she expects the privacy of Canadians will be protected with appropriate judicial oversight.

Scout Jamboree report Submitted

Submitted

On July 5, six members of 1st Robson Scouts and two leaders left for the Canadian National Scout Jamboree.

The week-long Jamboree was attended by over 6,000 people including 3,500 youth. Activities included river rafting and achery.

The youth had tasks including preparing meals, clean up and water/garbage duties. Free time in the evenings found them wandering around the X Centre which had booths for information, activities, treats to buy and a general place to hang out

and meet or trade badges.

At the end, all had a great time and many of the youth want to attend future Jamborees and maybe even the 2015 World Jamboree in Japan.

A lot of money needed to attend this event was raised through scouts popcorn sales and bottle drives; many thanks to Castlegar residents for their generosity.

Anyone interested in the scouting program (ages five and up) can contact Dean Christianson @ 250-3657136 or check out the Scouts Canada website at www. scouts.ca.

Country collaboration Jason Thomas and Lisa Nicole drew a large crowd to their “Concerts in the Park� event at Kinnaird Park in Castlegar on Wednesday, July 24.

It was just over a year ago that Shari Ulrich played to a near sellout Castlegar crowd as part of the legendary Pied Pumkin String Ensemble. She and her bandmates proved at the time the value of experience. Of course talent, originality and work ethic were equal parts of the recipe that had made the trio so successful.

Sunday night at the same Castle Theatre Café it was the Shari Ulrich Trio – mixing her own numerous assets with some mighty talented youthful energy supplied by Shari’s daughter Julia Graff and Ted Littlemore - each an outstanding performer in their own right.

With an arsenal of

strings and keys at their disposal, not to mention beautiful vocals, the three delivered a wonderful show, the likes of which will no doubt delight music lovers in Kaslo and Grand Forks as the crew enjoys a summer Kootenay tour.

Featured was a sampling of

Shari’s vast body of work, including some fresh material which is populating a new release being produced by Graff – a student in the masters music program at McGill University.

A very decent turnout showed their love for the dynamic and versatile Juno

award-winning Ulrich... they’re probably hoping the trend continues with another of her involvements on the way next July, or hopefully... even sooner.

Kudos, in closing, to Lowell and Dean for sticking with it and running such a neat venue.

Arts & Culture Castlegar Artwalk 2013 - Artist Bios Formatted by: April Cuffy

CASTLEGAR CASTLEGAR NEWS NEWS 250.365.6397

NAME: Laura Lindquist VENUE: West Kootenay Regional Airport Terminal (#23) MEDIUM: Paintings – Abstract RESIDENCE; South Slocan HOMETOWN: Sparwood ARTIST STATEMENT: I have always known I would somehow make it back to the mountains. My love for the mountains and the amazing scenery within B.C. always manages to make it into my artwork. While the majority of my recent works have been abstractions, I find I’m drawn to the organic properties of the mediums I use. In my final year of university I did a series of works that related “nature with technology,” which is another interest of mine. Most of the works featured in Castlegar ArtWalk are from this series.

I took organisms like cancer cells and extreme closeups of other organic items like leaves and moss, and abstracted them into works where the materials and process I used outweighed the actual imagery.

BIO: The Kootenays have always been my home—even though I’ve only been in the area for three years! I’m 28 years old and am originally from Sparwood, B.C., where I lived until I moved to Kamloops at age 10. I graduated from Thompson Rivers’ University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, focusing on painting.

I also enjoy photography and always have a camera of some type, be it my cell phone, “point and shoot” or my 35mm Pentax by my

side. All of my landscapes are painted from a photograph I have taken. I find it more fulfilling to put my energy into a painting when the entire composition is my own. With process being the main focus on my most recent works, my medium of choice has been acrylic and acrylic texturebuilding mediums. I do, however, love to paint with oils—I just find them to be a better landscape medium.

My inspirations often stem from photographs I take while walking or hiking. My grandmother was also an artist; she too was always painting her surroundings. I have always seen the time I spend painting, as time spent with her.

NAME: Louise (Avril) Skibsted VENUE: Connects Wireless (#14) MEDIUM: Paintings – Acrylics RESIDENCE: Trail ARTIST STATEMENT: Art, for me, is meant to be shown and shared. Art is for all to enjoy and feel free to create without judgment. It is easy to become hypnotized by the fast-moving images that

Gallery get-go

bombard us daily. It’s a challenge to ignore their impact.

By contrast, visual art invites us to stop, to see what is there and find meaning in standing still—observing. I see art as a way to focus, and an expression of inspiration.

I want to create something beautiful through colour, form and composition. It’s something that is fun and satisfying. It’s something to show, to share and to enjoy.

NAME: Mary Kate Woodward VENUE: Dundee Wealth (#16) [Solo Exhibition] & Central City Shoes (#7) [Robson Painters Exhibition] MEDIUM: Ink Drawings RESIDENCE: Castlegar YEARS ACTIVE: 12+ years ARTIST STATEMENT: Living things, people, animals and plants; their poses, gestures and personalities are the subject matter for my drawings.They are the inspiration for the lines, each one of which must accomplish its purpose, none of which may be wild or superfluous. A line may express one or more parts of a subject.

Where there is more than one subject in a drawing, one line will sometimes describe parts of two subjects, blending the two.

The line is the object of the artwork; the subject an excuse for its placement.

An opening night reception for “Miscreants - Mischievous and Defiant, Mixed Media by Scot Bullick” was held on Friday, July 26 at the Kootenay Gallery. The show continues until Sept. 14. Pictured above from left, gallery curator Helen Sebelius, gallery executive director Val Field and artist Scot Bullick.

Eleven-year-old William Watt Jr. is an active and outgoing young man, with the sort of qualities displayed by many kids his age. But a chance encounter with dangerous levels of explosive gas fumes has brought him into the limelight.

William happened to be cycling with his dad by Castlegar Primary School last week when he smelled what he knew didn’t belong - an odour many people recognize and, those who don’t, don’t like.

“We were riding by the Pictured above from left, track operator Mark Froley, Bill Watt schools (on 7th Avenue in and William Watt at Froley’s track, 454 Ooteschenia Road.

Bagels and Brew is renewed in the Kootenay Crossing Mall

MARVIN BEATTY

Castlegar News Reporter

The smell of Oso Negro coffee may be the first thing you notice when you walk into the newly reopened Bagels and Brew in the Kootenay Crossing Mall in Castlegar.

Either that, or your eye will be drawn to the outstanding artwork on the walls, the cheerful staff behind the counter, the menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner or perhaps even someone interesting in the line-up waiting for take-out.

“I want Bagels and Brew to be the spot where people come to get a great cup of coffee, hang out or take it with them, a fantastic homemade meal, breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or a homemade baked goodie,” said new owner Sarah Holliday on Monday, July 29. “We are working on some grab and go lunch items for you to take to work when you grab a coffee in the morning. We definitely have some healthy options, not everything, but it’s definitely all homemade.”

Holliday has extensive experience in the restaurant industry, with four years at Boston Pizza as a server, supervisor and cook. She also ran the cafeteria at the high school in Nelson for two years.

“It’s pretty fastpaced feeding 500 kids a day,” she laughed. With seating for about 25 in the bright eatery, there’s ample space to sit and enjoy a specialty Just tuned in?

coffee, matcha lemonade, smoothie, or choose from a number of food items.

If you’re an early riser, the restaurant is open from 6:30 a.m.

- 7 p.m. Monday to Friday and a toasted bacon breakfast bagel or wrap may be the perfect start to the day.

The restaurant also offers catering services and all of the three full-time and one part-time staff do the cooking and baking.

our interview, with Pura Vida Foundation founder Nathan Beninger decorating the walls with photography from around the world.

“It’s pretty amazing thing he’s dedicated his life to,” said Holliday. “Bagels and Brew is teaming up with the Pura Vida Foundation to raise money from sales of the artwork to fund a shelter for abused

and impoverished children in Peru. Part of our revenue and all the photography sales will go to this amazing organization.”

The restaurant is also a stop on the Castlegar Artwalk with a display by artist Michael Kelly.

Bagels and Brew is at Kootenay Crossing Mall, 108-1983 Columbia Ave. near McDonald’s and Boston Pizza.

“I want Bagels and Brew to be the spot where people come to get a great cup of coffee, hang out, or take it with them.”

Sarah Holliday If relaxing weekends are more your style, pop in on Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. for lunch or an early dinner or Sunday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“We have sandwiches, soups, salads, bagels, wraps and paninis,” said Holliday. “We’re planning to offer a lot more gluten-free items, too.”

Holliday stressed that everything at Bagels and Brew is homemade and that she was looking forward to growing the business in Castlegar.

“I hope it gets huge,” she laughed. “ I’d like to see the catering pick up and we will definitely be doing a lot more baking.”

Sports Great conditions for Sunflower Men’s Open; trophy off to Kelowna in Castlegar while Finlay was golfing, won the ladies tournament in the late ‘90s.

Al Knutson, who plays to a stellar 3 handicap, grabbed the Low Net trophy and an R1 of his own, with a tournament total of 145.

Sponsors were exceedingly generous with prizes for the 53 attendees with no less than 18 prizes (including golf bags, clubs, dozens of golf balls, overnight accommodation, clothing, etc.) handed out

The Castlegar Golf Club & RV Park played host to the annual Sunflower Men’s Open on July 27 and 28 and Finlay Young, who plays out of the Harvest Golf Club in Kelowna, took Low Gross honours with a two-day total of 149.

Young, a scratch handicap, took home not only the big trophy but a TaylorMade R1 Driver for his links prowess. Interestingly, Ronda Young, who enjoyed the weekend

on Sunday.

During the tournament, there were also prizes for closest-tothe-hole, long drives, and big cash up for holes-in-one which, perhaps happily for those sponsors, went unclaimed.

The long-drive winner by the way, was Josh Coletts, who somehow smashed a dimpled missile 369 yards at the range.

Sports Whitecaps FC announces Kootenay Academy plans for the fall Submitted

Vancouver Whitecaps FC regional head coach David Broadhurst will be in Nelson from August 10 to 18 to lead the evaluations for the Whitecaps FC Kootenay Prospects Academy.

Boys and girls ages U-10 to U-18 will have the opportunity to be evaluated for selection and invitation to the Kootenay Prospects program, which will include up to four boys and four girls training groups with 16 to 20 players per training group.

“We really enjoyed our inaugural year in the Kootenays and learned more about how the program can have the greatest impact and benefit for local players,” said Whitecaps FC director of soccer development Dan Lenarduzzi. “Based on that we have made some adjustments this year that will provide a regular Whitecaps FC presence in the Kootenays, more regular contact with the players and increased

communication.”

The program, including all sessions, will be run by Whitecaps FC Okanagan regional head coach David Broadhurst and will include a 10-month program with three phases, running September through June, with weekly training sessions. There will also be one travel weekend per phase, which last year included an MLS weekend in Vancouver featuring an on-field training session and a Whitecaps FC MLS match.

“The club’s desire is to have an overall regional program strategy that will allow the Prospects

Academy to be accessible to the best players in the Kootenay region,” said Broadhurst.

“In this coming 2013-14 cycle, we will operate a West program which will primarily be open to players from Nelson and Kootenay South.

The objective will be to work towards a similar East program for the fall of 201415. This will then provide the ability to connect the two programs for select training and events.”

Whitecaps FC currently provide technical services to the Nelson Youth Soccer Association and hope to expand these

services to other areas of the Kootenays.

To be selected for the Whitecaps FC Prospects Academy, all players must register for the evaluation process.

Evaluation sessions will be held at Lakeside Park in Nelson during the weekends of August 10 and 11 and again on August 17 to 18.

Players interested in registration for the evaluation can visit www.whitecapsfc.com/academy and select Kootenay Academy or contact David Broadhurst at dbroadhurst@ whitecapsfc.com or by phone at 250-5505489.

Andrew Lee Evans, or Andy as his friends knew him, has left us at the young age of 28. Andrew was born on March 19, 1985 in Trail B.C. On July 10, 2013, after an unfortunate whirlwind of events, the unruly Columbia River took his life. Andrew was a down-to-earth, loving guy who never lost his inner child. He loved going on adventures with his family and friends. He loved spending time up in the Pend d’ Oreille where he and the family spent most of their early years together taking advantage of everything the area had to offer.

Andrew will be deeply missed and remain in our hearts forever. He leaves behind his parents Dobie Evans and Laurie McCarthy, Tammy Evans and Lee Guenard, sister Alisha Evans and nephew Keydon; his grandparents Donna Evans and Mervin and Ann Neil; his girlfriend Sam Sakuluk, along with many aunts, uncles and cousins on the Neil and Evans side.

He is predeceased by his beloved grandfather Larry Jack Evans.

May you rest in peace, our little boy, your spirit is free to go wherever you wish.

A celebration of Andrew’s life is being planned and will be announced at a later date.

By shopping local you support local people.

Love from your family!

In Loving Memory of My Sister

John Sofonoff October 9th, 1920 - August 1st, 2012 Though it has been one year since you passed, We silently grieve and brush away our tears.

The love you gave and the things you did, Remain as memories in our hearts we will never forget.

Still missed, still loved & always dear, Dad, Deda, and Brother John, you are ever near.

Sadly missed by your family.

Catherine Louise Polonikoff July 17, 1961 – August 4, 2012 If tears could build a stairway And memories were a lane We would walk right up to heaven And bring you back again No farewell words were spoken No time to say goodbye You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why Our hearts still ache in sadness And secret tears still flow What it meant to lose you No one will ever know But know we know you want us To remember all the happy times Life still has much in store Since you’ll never be forgotten We pledge to you today A hallowed place within our hearts Is where you’ll always stay
