Without even completing the first day of mediation between Fortis BC and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW,) the company has walked away from the table, dashing brief hopes that the eight-week lockout of almost 230 employees might be near an end. “They gave us a new proposal asking for some unbelievable concessions that we’ve never even seen before,” said IBEW business manager Rod Russell Wednesday evening. “It’s quite obvious they didn’t want a deal. They didn’t give (mediator, Vince) Ready anything to work with and then they walked out.” Talks had barely begun before the two sides saw a widening gap between their positions, generally focusing on the introduction of a two-tier pay and benefit package for newly hired employees, the introduction of new contract language regarding travel pay, retroactivity of any pay increase, and discussions around a compressed work week altering between five

days at 7.5 hours or four days at 10 hours, based on the company’s discretion. As is common in labour disputes, the company has a different opinion on the events at the bargaining table. “Unfortunately, talks have broken down,” said Joyce Wagenaar, director of communications for Fortis BC. “Fortis came to the table flexible and open, prepared to bridge the gap in differences but when it became clear that they weren’t going to move on their prior offer, we ended the talks.” The breakdown in talks leaves the union on the picket lines preparing to make applications to the B.C. Labour Relations Board (LRB) to expand their picket lines and looking towards a possibility of litigation to resolve the dispute. “We went there being optimistic and hopeful,” said local bargaining committee member Al Bertolussi. “But the stuff they brought us in mediation took us miles apart. There was still room to negotiate but they walked away.” The union will be presenting new applications to the LRB in early September.

As August draws to a close signalling the approach of another school year, a new crop of kindergarten students is preparing for a new adventure into the world of formal education. Greg Luterbach, School District 20 Superintendent, is expecting a slight increase in the number of new kids entering the SD 20 system this autumn. “As of the end of June we had 289 students registered for kindergarten for the fall,” said Luterbach by email. “We are projecting around

300 so we should achieve that once September comes. By the end of September 2012 we had 275 kindergarten students so we should be up (as projected) for this year.” Although full-day kindergarten was brought into effect in 2011, the Ministry of Education allows gradual entry to kindergarten, understanding that not all five year-olds are prepared to go into a day-long schedule immediately. Each school will issue a letter to parents providing details of the plan and a general schedule has been developed by SD 20 to help new students (and their parents) prepare.

Community of Rossland pulls together to help out its own Della Schafer West Kootenay Advertiser

Led by Marjorie Kidd, Rosslanders are pooling resources to help a family of six who lost everything they owned in an August 6 house fire. People are already donating household items, clothing and furniture to help the family out, said Kidd, but more is needed. “It is hard to imagine the terror and loss of a fire but when faced with uncertainties in life, it’s nice to know there is security within community,” she said. The family was blessed with no loss of life and luckily have a home to move to, but require help restocking their lives, said Kidd. Towards that end, donations are needed to help

re-create a space brimming with the comforts of home. “We all have something beautiful we can spare, something gently used to share. Lets come together to help create a space full of books, games and art, all the things that make a loving home,” Kidd explained. The family consists of a dog, mom and dad, two boys (aged five and 10) and two girls (aged eight and13). This is a large family moving into a small space, they need just about anything your own family finds essential, said Kidd, including beds and dressers for all—mom and dad and four singles. If possible, a kitchen table with bench seating for a small space is required, a free standing pantry and cupboard unit, dishes, cutlery, pots, pans,

baking sheets/tins, cookie cutters, rolling pin, cutting boards, slow cooker and blenders/beaters. Kidd said there is also a need for a microwave, a deep freeze, bookcases, bed sheets, pillows, face cloths, towels, jewelry, toys, a TV, video games, computers, telephone and winter/ski gear. Donations can be dropped off in the garage at 1057 Spokane where the family can view and sort. What ends up not being required will be sold at a garage sale to help replace the things that could not be replaced (eye glasses, etc.). Anything in excess of the family’s need will be donated to their close friend Carol Enns. Phone 250-362-5181 for more information.

Mayor Stibbs’ papers return to Nelson On Saturday, Touchstones Nelson archivist Laura Fortier (left) received a collection of personal papers that once belonged to Nelson mayor Norman Stibbs. Brian Knecht (right) found them last year in a Seattle antique store that was going out of business. A former Nelson resident with family here, Knecht recognized the significance of the find and snapped it up. The collection includes scrapbooks and ephemera from Stibbs’ tenure as mayor between 1938-46, telegrams from the famous and not-sofamous, early Nelson maps, plans for a never-built series of tourist cabins, and a very cool 1946 program for the midsummer curling bonspiel — with a miniature broom attached. Stibbs still holds the record for longest consecutive service as Nelson’s mayor at nine years, a mark present mayor John Dooley is poised to tie at the end of his present term. However, Stibbs had to be re-elected nine straight times to attain that mark, since terms were only one year in those days. Greg Nesteroff

Wake-up call to all motorists as new school term kicks off staff writer West Kootenay Advertiser

An August 26 press release from BC Transit states that September is the busiest month of the year for the operation as some of its most

dedicated customers return to school and work. Spokesperson Meribeth Burton says the back-toschool rush is welcome, and “BC Transit’s Safety and Training team is also taking the time to remind our more than

3,000 transit operators across the province to be extra cautious as the new school year approaches.” Given the fact that motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of injury and death among children, reminders for BC

Transit drivers also apply to all motorists. “Children are often distracted, especially at the start of the school year,” points out Burton in the Aug. 26 email, “they are quick, small and often less visible than

adults.” “Look for clues that children might be on or near roads,” said BC Transit Director of Safety and the Environment John Palmer. “If a driver spots: groups of children to-

gether, busy playground areas, bicycles or toys on the road ahead, these are all indicators that children may be at risk. It takes just a little extra care and attention while we are behind the wheel to avert a tragedy.”

Outdoor exercise equipment put to good use at Christina Lake karl yu West Kootenay Advertiser

Residents at Christina Lake now have a place to burn fat, exercise and enjoy fresh air, year-round. An exercise yard has been set up on Park Road down the road from the Community Hall. The surface consists of shredded tires to make it easy on peoples legs and knees. It is something Chris-

‘Let’s just go for it and so we did – it’s something I’ve wanted for a long time,” explained McGregor. “The time is right and the place is right,” said Wales. “We finally found the perfect spot to put with all the other exercise equipment – the tennis courts and the children’s playground.” While Wales said

it could be a little more difficult in the snow, the equipment is made to withstand the elements and the joints of the equipment shouldn’t rust. “It’s supposed to be reliable for outdoors 12 months of the year; that was what the company guaranteed,” said Wales. McGregor said a golf putting green will be added near the exercise yard eventually as well. “From my perspective,

you really want your community to be healthy. You also want those that come and visit your community to be encouraged to be healthy and this is one way to do it,” said McGregor. “We’re also hoping youth will decide to do that as part of their exercise regime,” she said. Both say they have seen all manner of age groups taking advantage of the new equipment.

It was privilege to show Minister Duncan the infrastructure improvements that have taken place at the Discovery Centre to date, as well as scheduled upgrades to be completed later this fall.

Minister Duncan and his wife were genuinely interested in the history of the Doukhobors as they spent nearly three hours at the facility asking numerous questions of their hosts and touring the buildings. On behalf of the Society and the Discovery Centre, President Peter Perepolkin presented the Minister and his wife with a framed print depicting a Sunday Gathering of Doukhobors in Ootischenia on May of 1928, a gift which the Minister was genuinely moved to receive.

Linking Names and Places

English mining school gave Camborne its Cornish name greg nesteroff West Kootenay Advertiser

Twenty-sixth in a series on West Kootenay/Boundary place names. The ghost town of Camborne in the northern Lardeau was originally known as Fish Creek Camp, but renamed by mining recorder and engineer John Cory Menhinick (18651953), who pre-empted the townsite at the confluence of Fish and Pool creeks. Menhinick reputedly named it after the mining school he attended in his birthplace of Cornwall, England. Founded in 1888, it still exists as part of the University of Exeter. Camborne, which means crooked hill in Cornish, is often misspelled Cambourne and Menhinick’s name is sometime given as Menhenick.

Ad for the Pendragon Hotel at Camborne from the Revelstoke Herald, August 21, 1900.

This townsite, also known as Caribou City, was close to Burton on Upper Arrow Lake, and was founded in response to a brief mining rush. It was first mentioned in the Victoria Daily Colonist of June 6, 1897:

olis of British Columbia” and “destined to be the big city of the Arrow Lake country.” Alas, it never happened. The last reference to Cariboo City appeared in the Kootenay Mail in 1903.

Carroll’s Landing is denoted by a sign along Highway 6 south of Nakusp, although spelled Carrol’s.

CARROLL’S LANDING This spot 24 kilometers south of Nakusp on the east side of Upper Arrow Lake is identifiable thanks to a homemade sign on a fire number along Highway 6, although it’s spelled Carrol’s Landing. Several history books indicate it was named for Mike Carroll of Nakusp, who owned land there. However, it seems more likely that he was Miles Carroll (1838-1912). According to Port of Nakusp, he left his estate to Germaine and Pearl Parent, two children who frequently checked on him and did some housekeeping. The inheritance consisted of money, tools, and a parcel of timber, the proceeds of which allowed the family to buy property for a new home. The post office opened December 14, 1937, closed March 28, 1951, reopened February 4, 1954 as a postal agency and closed for good November 13, 1968 as the old community was flooded out by the Hugh Keenleyside dam.

The earliest reference was in the Revelstoke Herald of January 20, 1900 in speaking of the Beatrice mine: “A rawhide trail has been built and today the mine is shipping high grade over the government wagon road from Camborne to Arrow lake, seven miles distant ...” The townsite was laid out the following year. Camborne enjoyed a couple of brief heydays connected to mining in the area. The post office opened May 1, 1902, closed September 30, 1914, reopened August 16, 1935 and closed again December 31, 1936. Today the townsite is deserted. By the 1920s, Menhinick moved to Salt Spring Island. CARIBOO CITY

“Townsites in Cariboo Creek district are ... beginning to boom. Mineral City and Cariboo City have been put on the market lately and lots in both are meeting with ready sale in Rossland.” Twelve days later, the first in a series of ads in the Spokane Spokesman Review placed on behalf of the Cariboo City Land Company declared Cariboo City “the coming metrop-

SPEAKING FOR ANIMALS

PETS on PARADE Paws for a Cause The Scotiabank & BC SPCA Paws for a Cause is the organization’s biggest fundraiser and our work would not be possible without your support. The BC SPCA currently receives no provincial or federal government funding and we rely on your generosity to continue our life-saving work. All funds raised at each walk stay in the community to make the life saving work of your local BC SPCA branch possible. This year’s event will be held at Birch Bank Park in Genelle, next to the gun range off highway 22. We will be starting off the day with registration at 11am and the walk around 12noon. Throughout the day will be games for both guardian and dog and kids games for the little one. There will be plenty of Panago pizza and fresh baking to munch on. Don’t forget the great music for Astral Media and live band. You will also get to enjoy an agility demo and dance routine. Not to mention, you will get an opportunity to try out the agility equipment with your own dog. Provincially the goal is to raise $1 million this year towards improving animal welfare in British Columbia. Our local goal is $15,000.

Provincial

BC Chamber joins growing legal push for open borders SUBMITTED

Vancouver, August 26, 2013 – The BC Chamber of Commerce has joined litigation filed in a U.S. court to push back against border measures that pose a serious risk for B.C. businesses and tourists. Currently, British Columbians heading to the U.S. for business or tourism purposes face a border regime that empowers border guards, at their own discretion and without avenue for appeal, to bar Canadians entry to the U.S. for periods of five years or more under an “expedited removal” process. “This draconian regime flies in the face of open borders and Canada’s long-standing friendship and trading relationship with our neighbours to the south,” said John Winter, president and CEO of the BC Chamber of Commerce. “As our countries strive towards new levels of co-operation through the Beyond the Border Action Plan, these harsh border rules need to be fixed.” Winter added that the border rules pose a particular threat to B.C. businesses. “If an overzealous U.S. border guard targets a B.C. CEO or other key company personnel for expedited removal, that company’s business with the U.S. risks

grinding to a halt,” Winter said. The BC Chamber of Commerce has joined with the Bellingham/Whatcom Chamber of Commerce, the Northwest Economic Council and Pacific Corridor Enterprise Council to file an “amicus brief ” in a case pending before a U.S. appeals court (the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals). That case concerns the issue of whether a Canadian citizen seeking entry to the U.S. can be subject to expedited removal by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Greg Boos is the Bellingham-based immigration attorney who authored the amicus brief on behalf of the BC Chamber and the other involved parties. “Allowing CBP to make unreviewable determinations of admissibility into the U.S. invites abuse of discretion,” Boos said. Recent border situations in the Pacific Northwest where Canadians have been placed into expedited removal have involved Canadians seeking entry to the U.S. to attend meetings, visit vacation homes or engage in other travel into the United States.

Sculpture Talk

2012

Welcome to our regular feature introducing the artists behind the sculptures in this year’s Castlegar SculptureWalk. Museum, enchanting everyone who views it in passing.

‘Sculpture Talk’ is slightly more static though no less vibrant. Three angular, abstract figures recognizable as a family stand in front of two eight foot pieces of curved steel. The steel pieces are complimentary but slightly offset, opened in half circles in the middle. Metal rods transect the openings, with colourful fused glass squares and rectangles attached to them. They provide contrast and counterbalance to the openings and the solidity of the curved steel. The work as a whole imitates the art/sculpture viewing experience. It is a complex, attractive, intriguing work.

Rabi’a ‘Sculpture Talk’ (steel, glass) Slocan Valley artist Rabi’a appears for the third year running with another intriguing and large work that coalesces everything she loves about sculpting. Steel, shape and design, figures and vibrant glasswork all fuse together creatively in ‘Sculpture Talk’. Last year, she shared third place in the Peoples Choice balloting with another area artist, Daniel Kloc. Her self portrait, Dancing Myself, was all kinetic energy and motion but it combined her sculpting ‘loves’ just as ‘Sculpture Talk’ does. It is now on loan to the City of Nelson, anchoring one corner of the old city hall-turned-Touchstones

“‘Sculpture Talk’ is everything that I love about sculpting,” says Rabi’a. “I love to experiment, fall off the deep end as it were, and in doing so, combine favourite elements into a one-ofa-kind work.” Born in Holland and something of a world traveller (stops in Hawaii, Australia) and homesteader (a 15 year stint in the far northwest of B.C) since coming to Canada as a teenager, Rabi’a has found and settled her five acre ‘slice of heaven’ on the banks of the Slocan River. She manages two straw bale guest houses and is passionate about her gardens. Populating them with her eclectic pieces - from giant mosaic eggs to beautifully reworked and revisioned mirrors, from a gorgeously-tiled kitchen sink

town C a s t l e g a own r

to large metal/decorated sculptures like the winsomely named Woman of Steel (another self-portrait?) – the gardens are serene and peaceful, made special by the interesting art within them. The property reflects its owner, absolutely. “I’m a bit of a scavenger,” she cheerfully admits. “My eye is drawn to the artistic possibility of all sorts of objects. Glass transistors, nuts and bolts, old kitchen and bathroom fixtures, scrap metal, I collect it all. There is something really fulfilling about taking discarded items and creating something that is beautiful from them. “Many of my guests are repeat visitors, and part of that is the pleasure they get from the tranquility, along with the art I’ve placed around the acreage. The contrast between, and peaceful co-existence of, nature and art is central to who I am, and obviously many others agree.” Inventive and creative, Rabi’a has once again sculpted a work that is identifiably hers. Her passions and talent are amply displayed in ‘Sculpture Talk’, as is her distinctive, enthusiastic personality. SPONSORED by

“My sculpture is intended to engage participants with form, involving their eyes, hands and mind in the aesthetic response,” she says. “The pieces I create are based on a dialogue-driven relationship between me and the material. I look to explore the plasticity and flexibility of known or new sculptural materials, and am inspired by both traditional sculpting techniques and contemporary design manufacturing methods. Winterstone is a modern, responsive medium to work in.”

Regine Neumann ‘Rhythm of Being’ (winterstone) The first Quebec-based artist to display in Castlegar, Regine Neumann resides and works in Canton de Hatley, just outside of Sherbrooke. Born in Germany, she graduated from Bishop’s University in Lennoxville, Quebec as a Studio Honours student in Fine Arts in 2011. Since then, she has been exploring new possibilities of form and material like the piece she presents here. ‘Rhythm of Being’ is a beautifully wrought, complex piece composed in winterstone, a modern material

Skulpschpuhl was an award winner at the Unione Chieci exhibition in Trento, Italy in October, 2010. It is another fine example of Neumann’s instinct for gorgeous curves and lines, somewhat reminiscent of the Frank Gehry-designed Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany. “My focus is on open form and movement that brings the piece together,” she says. “Working with modern materials permits me to express the form and flexibleness that make up my artistic style. Her work on display at Sculpturewalk Castlegar captures this. It is pleasing to the eye, active but still, while expressing her vision fluidly and distinctively.

A silimilar work, How Do You Feel Today? has been purchased by the Kingsbrae Gardens in St. Andrewby-the-Sea, New Brunswick as first prize winner in their 2012 sculpture competition. Working with sculptor Lili Xu, the duo’s evocative Four Years, Four Months, Four Days has the same lovely abstraction as ‘Rhythm of being’. In plaster and slightly denser, it displays the same stylistic form and use of openings Neumann develops in all her works. It was part of a Sculpture Society of Canada exhibition in Toronto in June, 2011.

that is similar to cement. With water added, it lends itself to sculpting and Neumann’s piece displays the versatility and flexibility of the material. She makes good use of open spaces in here undulating, fluid work, all curving lines connecting together seamlessly. The finished result looks and ages like sandstone but is stronger and more durable.

CBT’s Youth Grants program now accepting applications STAFF WRITER West Kootenay Advertiser

The Columbia Basin Trust, by way of a recent press release has announced the running of an initiative aimed at putting money to work for the benefit of youth in the region. It is being publicized that just over $107,000 is available to “fund projects that make a positive difference for Basin youth aged 12 to 29 in the upcoming Youth Grants Program (YGP) intake. Organizations, school districts, First Nations organizations and local governments—plus youth aged 15 to

29 with a sponsoring organization— can apply for up to $15,000 per project.”

“CBT strives to take an active role in helping communities create opportunities for young people in the Basin.” Aimee Ambrosone “CBT strives to take an active role in helping communities create opportunities for young people in the Basin,” said Aimee Ambrosone, CBT Senior Manager, Sector Initiatives in a media release. “Projects that re-

ceive Youth Grants funding benefit Basin youth in diverse ways.” The email communication from the CBT describes how the Trust’s Youth Advisory Committee, made up of youth aged 15 to 29 from around the Basin, adjudicates the YGP applications. The upcoming YGP deadline is October 7, 2013, at 2 p.m. PDT. Program adjudicators, reportedly, are “especially interested in projects that support youth engagement, leadership or employment and entrepreneurship.” The next YGP intake will be spring 2014.

The Kootenay Robusters dragon-boat team is wrapping up its season with an eye to recruiting more paddlers for fun, fitness, and a little friendly competition. While Robuster numbers have been robust over the years, in recent months they’ve seen a considerable ebb in participating paddlers restricting the team’s ability to compete and even train at times. As a result, the Robusters are canvassing the area for paddlers and the best news: no experience - with paddling or breast cancer - is necessary. “Due to family

The West Kootenay crew requires 20 paddlers to race and a minimum of 14 to practice in addition to a steersman, and drummer. The team encourages all ages from teenagers to women in their 80s to come try it out, the only requirements are a good attitude, the desire to join a great social group, with exercise and enjoyment the top priorities. “We have ladies in their 70s out there doing it, so there’s whole bunch of benefits, the health side,

the friendships, and the support,” added LeRose. Kathy Hanson, a veteran paddler of 12 years, stresses that being a breast-cancer survivor is not a requirement to joining, and with an average age of 62, the team races against much younger paddlers, so an injection of youth would be welcome. “We just want ladies to come and try dragon-boating, because once people get

out and try it, they realize they can do it . . . and you can be any fitness level to start.” The Robusters dragon-boat team originally formed in 2001 as a group of breast cancer survivors and associate paddlers from Trail, Rossland, Grand Forks, Christina Lake, and Castlegar. They excelled early, placing second in Kelowna’s Breast Cancer Challenge after just one month of train-

ing. Since then the team has competed in dozens of dragon boat festivals culminating in a first-place result in the Kelowna festival in 2006 and a trip to the 17th annual Kaiser Permanente International Dragon Boat Festival in San Francisco last year. Most recently the team had a strong fifth-place finish at a festival in Lethbridge in July. But a team’s success is ultimately tied to good coaching. A serendipitous meeting in a Rossland coffee shop landed the Robusters their coach of 13 years in Trish Ostlund. In the 1990’s Ostlund paddled with the world champion False Creek women’s team, and has brought her expertise, knowledge, and enthusiasm to the Robusters, transforming new and experienced paddlers into a cohesive force. Commitment and training is necessary and for those who want to get in an extra workout or make up a missed practice, the team has access to a paddling machine known as an ergonometer at Fortis in Trail.

Op/Ed Why not just dry our eyes and embrace the end of summer? SUBMITTED

At this time of year I am prone to flashes of dread. It happens every time I hear a back-toschool ad. The flashes have a long half-life too and get more intense the closer we get to Labour Day. But this year, I’m going to try taking a page from my nephew’s book. He is starting university this fall. When I asked him how he felt about it, he shrugged and said there was no point worrying about it now. It’s a big change and he’ll deal with it when it comes in September.

How many Augusts have we all spent dreading Septembers only to be reminded when the dreaded Septembers come that they are not actually that bad? Going back to school or getting back to business has a great upside. I’m not going to oversell this idea. It is true the spontaneity of summer gets replaced with routine, sometimes hectic routines. It’s also true that the price of a good vacation is sometimes a very large pile of “to-dos” on our desk that have the feeling of back-to-school homework. And the period

between September and December can be very busy, even a little crazy.

Why not take a few more days off, knowing fully that whatever fall may bring, a good holiday is never a bad thing.

But if we have been lucky, we have the wind of a good vacation in our sails, giving us new perspective, creativity and energy.

In 2006, the accounting firm Ernst & Young did an internal study of its employees and found that for each additional 10 hours of vacation that employees took, their year-end performance ratings from supervisors improved eight per cent. Those who take regular vacations were also significantly less likely to leave the firm. According to clinical psychologists, the value of vacations on our mental health is profound. Not taking vacations increases mistakes and resentment of co-workers while taking vacations increases motiva-

tion and perspective. A Harris/Decima poll from 2009 finds that almost half of Canadians don’t take all of their vacation. I suspect that many small-business owners and their staff are in this category. In fact, more than a few business owners have called the Canadian Federation of Independent Business for advice on how to get staff to take vacations. Others struggle to take a vacation during the summer as they juggle staff holidays. Given the undisputed value of a vacation, instead of struggling with the end-of-summer blues

why not embrace the end of summer? Why not take a few more days off knowing fully that whatever the fall may bring, a good holiday is never a bad thing. Give the plum of life a good squeeze. Make it a great vacation by parking September dread. September has its own special creative, productive energy. But as my nephew advises, deal with it when it comes.

Kootenay-Columbia Superintendent’s Message School District #

School Opening: September 3, 2013

The Labour Day weekend in September marks the end of summer for students and staff. September is an exciting time for schools as we get back to working with all our students to help them on their learning journey. We encourage all of our community to be actively involved with your schools. Talk to your child’s teacher and principal and find a way to stay involved and connected. Parental involvement really can make a difference in student achievement. All schools will be open at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, September 3rd for the registration of students new to the district and for any local Kindergarten and Grade One pupils not previously registered. Students will report for instruction on Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at times noted below. September 3rd will be a shortened day for students. Shortening the day will allow students an opportunity to become acquainted with their school, while at the same time enabling teachers to finalize their preparations for Wednesday, September 4th, the first full day of instruction. Kindergarten students will have gradual entry over the first week and a half so please contact your school for those times. To our existing students and families welcome back! To our new students and families, whether you are just starting kindergarten or moved here over the summer, a special warm welcome to your new school and district.

Community Castlegar’s Grandview Neighbourhood gardens – growing strong

Submitted

A group of Grandview Neighbourhood Gardeners met at the garden site recently to harvest some of their crops. Of the 12 beds available, two were planted by the gardeners with the intent of growing extra produce to share with the food bank and neighbours who cannot or do not garden.

This is our way of expressing thanks to the organizations and people who have supported us in our vision of creating a neighbourhood garden for all residents of the area. In 2011 we set three objectives for the development of the garden: to provide a water supply, to fence the garden from deer and elk, and to widen the driveway to

itage Credit Union Community and Environmental Fund, Kootenay Savings Community Foundation, and Columbia Power Corporation Community Funding Program we were able to achieve our first two goals. In 2013 we received CBT grants from Area J and the City of Castlegar, allowing us to complete our project and also purchase some much needed garden sup-

plies such as mulch, topsoil and garden tools. Thanks to these organizations, and donations and grants-in-kind from community members, we now have a thriving, productive garden producing healthy, wholesome food for the community. At present, we have 12 4ft. X 8ft. raised garden beds and five larger 8ft. X 10ft. plots in production. Several of these plots will be available this fall in time to plant garlic, and we hope to construct more raised beds for next spring. We welcome new gardeners from the community who would like to join us. More information on joining Grandview Neighbourhood Garden phone 250-3042281.

“Anybody can phone us and we can take them there and just show them, and they can at least try it before they go in the boat,” said Hanson. The relationship between breast cancer and dragon-boat racing began in 1996, when Dr. Don McKenzie’s research dispelled the notion that repetitive upper-body movements led to lymphedema, an irreversible swelling of the arm and chest that is a common affliction of breast cancer survivors. McKenzie studied a group of 25 women who began an exercise program involving dragon-boat paddling, indicating that this type of exercise had no relation to lymphedema. Soon after, “Abreast in a boat” was born and the number of dragon-boat teams has grown significantly ever since with festivals being held all over the globe, raising

funds and drawing awareness that there is life after breast cancer. The Robusters practice three times per week at Christina Lake, car-pooling and taking turns driving to make it more fuel-efficient and social. Once on the water, time itself disappears with every stroke, the team moving as one, immersed in the scenic and serene setting of Christina Lake. “It’s really fun, but it’s to get the people out to try it, and a lot of people do work, but they work around it and if you can only make two practises or only make one practise a week that’s okay,” said LeRose. The Robusters are on the water at Christina every Tuesday and Thursday at 6 p.m. and Saturday at 9 a.m. For more information phone 3640993 in Trail; Castlegar phone 365-3794; Grand Forks 4423333; Rossland 3629644; Christina Lake 447-6169.

Paper update: Will recycling still be easy in 2014? SUBMITTED

RDCK- By September 16, 2013 local governments must make a decision with respect to their participation in the Packaging and Printed Paper Stewardship Program. In May 2014, the responsibility for collecting and processing household recycling will be changing in British Columbia. The new product stewardship program for “Packaging and Printed Paper” (PPP) that is being introduced will shift all responsibility for recycling of PPP from a public service to a privately funded system.

Most options will involve subsidy to the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program and additional financial impacts due to increased, garbage hauling,and decreased landfill life. At the August 15th Board meeting RDCK staff presented a list of options and a process to help assist in the decision making. The Board will need to consider the financial viability, the environmental impact, the social and legal factors as well as the question of principle during the evaluation process. Even with all these factors considered the RDCK will not recover the full cost of the PPP program and will still have to provide a taxpayer subsidy to a privately operated program. The Environmental Management Act, the legislation that governs the Recycling Regulations,

determines who is responsible. “If we interpret the Act to say that once a product is the subject of a Schedule to the Recycling Regulations it is no longer the responsibility of local government then our response should be easy – we don’t handle it anymore, the stewards have to do that, ” stated John Kettle, RDCK Board Chair. “Whether we accept or decline the incentives from Multi- Material BC (MMBC), there will still be costs, many of them undetermined with the information we have. Most options will involve a subsidy to the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program and additional financial impacts due to increased garbage hauling and decreased landfill life.” Product Stewardship Programs are an important issue for the RDCK Board of Directors. The proposed PPP program is scheduled to roll out in May 2014 and could significantly reduce access to recycling for RDCK residents, particularly those in the most rural areas. All local governments in BC are facing a considerable challenge in determining how to reasonably manage the transition of recycling from a public service to a privately funded system. How the PPP program will affect existing RDCK recycling programs is still undetermined but one thing is certain, the RDCK Board of Directors will continue to advocate for the best interest of local taxpayers in the provincial recycling system. For more information about BC’s EPR system and the new PPP program contact the Recycling Council of British Columbia: www.rcbc.bc.ca or 1-800-667-4321.

Lifestyles Following the leader in wonderful Woodinville, Washington A half-hour drive to the northeast of Seattle is the town of Woodinville, population 10,000 or so. It is home to about 70 wineries and tasting rooms. Washington and wineries. Nothing unusual about that pairing. Except for the fact that Woodinville is not in a grape-growing region. Being located between the Pacific Ocean and the Cascade Mountains as-

Lorne Eckersley

sures it is wet and cloudy, more suited to the growing of trees than grapes. What Woodinville has going for it,

though, is its close proximity to Seattle, population 620,000, a coastal seaport that has been quite a wealthy community since early entrepreneurs started turning trees into money. Our visit started out just where the area’s connection to wine did, at Chateau Ste. Michelle. An estate built in the Columbia Valley in 1912 by lumber baron Frederick Stimpson would eventually be-

come home to Washington’s first winery. The winery’s roots go back to the post-prohibition era, when the Pommerelle Wine Company and the National Wine Company were formed, eventually to merge to become American Wine Growers in 1954. In 1967 AWG started a new label of

wines made from premium vinifera grapes that it called Ste. Michelle Vintners. In 1976, a Frenchstyle chateau was constructed in Woodinville and it became home to the newly named Chateau Ste. Michelle. In 37 years it has become one of the country’s largest and most honoured

producers and it now has 3,500 of vineyards in other parts of the state. Only white wines are made in the Woodinville winery. We took a short, free tour that finished with a couple of wine samples, then went out onto the property to check out the huge stage that plays home to dozens of concerts each year. Performers this summer included the likes of Garrison Keillor, Steve Miller, Robert Plant, Pat Benatar, Chris Botti, David Byrne, Counting Crows, Gypsy Kings, Lyle Lovett, Gladys Knight, The O’Jays, Harry Connick Jr. and Chris Isaak. Not a bad lineup.

Many of Washington’s most highly regarded wines are to be found in Woodinville tasting rooms... With Chateau Ste. Michelle acting as an anchor and drawing thousands of visitors to Woodinville, it eventually occurred to other wineries that they should capitalize on the opportunity. Now the area is dotted with tasting rooms. We pulled into one development that looked like nothing so much as a strip mall, and found five tasting rooms, a restaurant and a State Farm Insurance office. Across the street was an even longer strip mall, home to tasting rooms that include the fabulous Long Shadows, which we have enjoyed touring and tasting at the Walla Walla winery location. We walked along the sidewalk, first

rejecting a visit to a tasting room that charged $15 per tasting, and were drawn into another, because we liked the sign outside the door and the winery’s. The sign read: WEEKEND FORECAST: STAINED TEETH AND GOOD TIMES. The winery was Dusted Valley. Inside we had a lovely visit, of the sort that made us wine tourists 25 years ago. The hostess was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and we learned much about the people and the wines of Dusted Valley. The tasting revealed impeccably made wines—Chardonnay, Cab Franc, Cab Sauv, Syrah, Petit Verdot, Grenache, Malbec, Mourvedre and blends—from some superb vineyards. We enjoyed a very nice lunch at The Barking Frog and did another couple of tastings before heading back to Seattle. Had we stayed we could have visited the tasting rooms of some of our Walla Walla favourites, like Pepperbridge and Forgeron, and Prosser treats like Kestrel, Alexandria Nicole and Airfield. Many of Washington’s most highly regarded wines are to be found in Woodinville tasting rooms and a number of the wineries represented are named in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wineries in the World list. And a visit allows for the tasting of wines made from grapes grown in all major Washington vineyard areas. We won’t visit Seattle again without taking at least a day out in Woodinville.

Education

School District NO. 20 staff members strategize in Spokane marvin beatty West Kootenay Advertiser

Last week, 18 of a possible 23 principals, vice-principals and district management staff from School District 20 got together for a two-day, professional development session at the Hilton Doubletree Hotel in Spokane, WA. In an email, superintendent Greg Luterbach explained that these sessions have been held for the past eight years in various cities as a way to ensure the group is “fully immersed” in

the topics of discussion. Some staff were unable to attend due to school renovations and an annual audit. According to the superintendent, the total cost of the meetings was under $5,000. “This year we spent the two days discussing how we can support the transformation of education as described in the BC Education Plan,” wrote Luterbach. He added the sessions are held in August in order to save money by not requiring substitutes for those attending.

Sessions have also been held in Penticton, Whatshan Lake, Retallack (a helicopter and cat-skiing operation in the Selkirk mountains) and Rossland. “This year we held our workshop in Spokane after looking for a suitable location in the Okanagan, West and East Kootenays, Northern Idaho and Northern Washington,” said Luterbach. “We have people car pool, share rooms and pay for their own supper in order to stay within our existing professional development budget. We

invest in our teachers and support staff through professional development and we need to invest in our leadership team in order to do the very best for our students. “ On day one, a review of the BC Education plan took place as well as looking at how students are changing. Groups then did an “appreciative inquiry exercise” where they described how schools could be structured to support both the BC Education plan and students. Leadership skills required to

help lead people through that transformation rounded out the day. On day two, Luterbach said they revisited previous professional development sessions related to having productive workplace conversations. Time was then spent building goals, strategies and action plans to move schools and departments forward with either the BC Education plan or their local vision. Lastly, a business meeting was held discussing school start-up issues.

Horoscope Michael O’Connor

for the

Week August 30, 2013

Tip of the Week: Although it is not evident in the night sky, a lovely display of planets in alignment formulating another Star of David configuration is occurring right now. It officially began on August 28. And will continue through to about September 5th. Although not conveniently obvious, this confirmation represents a good example of the science of Astrology. Celestial phenomena that can be seen in a singular location like a Full Moon, an eclipse, a conjunction of two or more planets, a comet, a well-positioned fixed star either low on the horizon or also conjunct another planet, or even a meteor shower which certainly can encompass the entire sky in a celestial display of awe and wonder are certainly a source of joy, inspiration and sometime dread, at least traditionally. Yet, a deeper analysis of the alignments of planets and their respective relationships open up a whole new spectrum and level of perspective. Woven within this science of Astrology we find principles of geometry. How and why Astrology works remains somewhat illusive, although there are many very good explanations. The main reason is that it is based on holism where we the observers are understood to be intrinsically related with the themes, principles and planetary alignments in consideration. This paradigm of perception is ancient yet is on the rise again. This is suggestive of a multi-dimensional reality in existence. This principle is now well established in science as well, perhaps especially in Quantum Physics. As it is, there is a special planetary alignment in the skies even though it is not readily visible and it is synchronizing with our times.

Some time periods offer more opportunities than others and this stands to be one of them. The twist in this deal is that to take advantage you must be willing to make changes. This implies letting go of what is and has been. To flow with the changes gracefully is ideal. Harmonizing with significant others in your life in the process is especially ideal now. You have entered an extra creative period. Although you may feel stretched across a spectrum of fronts, a deeper purpose is brewing. It implies a renovation process of some kind. This may be concerning your actual home. Yet it may be directed towards your familial relationships. In any case, the need to get to the bottom of things is a theme that will extend to mid-October. Making concerted efforts to make improvements close to home is in the spotlight. A creative process is implied. You will likely have to give more than you want. Yet, you may feel inspired by the prospect of enhancing the beauty of and making improvements on your living space. Yet make room for social, cultural and/or romantic exchanges as well. The urge to advance your position continues. Ideally you have made some initial moves over the past several weeks. Now, your ambitions are on the rise. Making key investments will become more evident. Long term thinking is probably your best bet. Creating beauty in your home for the sake of greater harmony and fulfillment is featured. A new day has dawned in your life. Now you are ready to take even more deliberate action to this end. Expect your attitude to become more sober, serious and determined. You may still have to work overtime to access your hidden reserves of faith in yourself and the world. Appreciating your own and other people’s respective psychology and nature will help. The time has come to take some pioneering initiatives. Balancing an open mind with a clear focus and assuming a constructively critical approach will prove important. The other counter balance includes seeing the bigger picture to avoid getting mired in details. Some measure of inner work and courage to confront and follow through on things is also featured.

G A M E S

A cycle of retreat continues. The desire to do so stand to be extra strong and it is important that you do. You may still be productive yet meditation, contemplation, reflection and simple rest are ideal goals. Sometimes, a break from the usual routine can do the trick. Expressions of art and various forms of beauty are also likely. Ironically, you stand to ‘shake the world’ all the while.. Your individuality is shining a little brighter now. This may inspire you to take independent action. You may feel the need for extra time and space to achieve your objectives. Giving or receiving training and/or instruction is featured in the plot. All the while, experiencing deepened feelings of love and compassion or at least desire and pleasure is indicated. Woven into your otherwise easy going, philosophical and adventurous nature is a rather shrewd and sober practicality and it is shining brightly now. This emphasis will be directed towards improvement or service somehow. Yet, you will also feel the call to adventure. Sharing quality time with friends will complete the picture perfectly. Favouring a practical philosophy that weaves genuine intelligence with a tangible spirituality is your style and is in focus now. Acquiring or at least accessing tools designed by craftsman and for the sake of craftsmanship is the star in your eye now. You are in a mood to make things happen or perhaps at least to make things. A balance of endings and of new beginnings is likely now and over the next few weeks. This will likely produce some lively interchanges with others. You are in the mood for some arts and culture, fun, play and adventure and it has perhaps been a long while coming. Meanwhile, some research and investigation is featured. Observe the details of a bigger picture. A new quality of connection is emerging in your relationships. Out with the old and on with the new is a current theme. In the bigger picture you have entered a creative cycle that you are wise to heed. It may lead to activity on a variety of fronts and maintaining a clear focus will be extra important. Now is the time to initiate that intention. Do so with collaboration in mind.
