Recent three-home fire in Trail raises suspicion Trail Staff West Kootenay Advertiser

Investigation into the Sept. 2 morning house fire in West Trail that destroyed three homes has continued with police taking over the lead. Fire crews were called to the scene on Pine Avenue, where a house was consumed in fire, and two homes on either side were engulfed in flames. “The cause of the fire is being treated as suspicious and the investigation is continuing,” confirmed Sgt. Rob Hawton of the Trail and Greater District RCMP in a press release Sept. 3. The fire was brought under control in five hours with 32 firefighters from Rossland, Warfield, Trail and Montrose on site, and the regional fire rescue took the reins of the investigation that morning. Although there was no suspicious activity reported in the neighbourhood, located at the junction of Pine Avenue and Topping Street, the intensity of the fire and level of destruction hampered the initial investigation, said Terry Martin, regional fire chief. “As an investigator when you see a house catch fire that no one has live in since June, it does raise suspicion,” said Martin. “I do not want to alarm people but that is why the RCMP are assisting and will be the lead agency in the investigation.” The middle house, at 1557 Pine Ave., is presumed to be the source of the fire. The owners currently reside in Victoria but had begun renovations to the interior of the home. Forensic help sought by Salmo police In light of the recent spate of delib-

erate damage to village property, Salmo RCMP have enlisted the services of a forensic identification team, based in Nelson, to help identify

the suspects, confirmed Cpl. Riordan Bellman, of the village’s detachment. Last week, Mayor Ann Henderson issued a notice to

Salmo and area residents expressing concern about increased vandalism to village property, and village staff having tires slashed and

other “events” that posed safety concerns and risk of injury. “Salmo RCMP are working with the village together

to address the surrounding issues of vandalism in the community,” said Bellman. He acknowledged that Salmo detach-

ment has been called to remove disruptive people from the village hall this summer, although none of the calls were deemed an “emergency.”

Young woman chosen for global humanitarian mission Kirsten Hildebrand West Kootenay Advertiser

A young woman from Nelson will spend ten weeks in Tanzania after being selected for a prestigious Youth Challenge International positing. After a rigorous application process, Olivia Marshman was one of five youth between the ages of 19 and 34 chosen from across North America to participate in the adventure starting in October. “I am just so over the moon. I can’t believe I got this. I am from little rural B.C. – who would have thought.” Marshman is also the youngest youth attending and is the only candidate from east of Ontario. The outfit known as YCI is a leading global youth development organization promoting youth innovation to drive positive change. Their community development programs are designed to meet the needs of youth affected by poverty through four integrated sectors: livelihoods, health, leadership, and the environment. The group engages youth in creating solutions to the challenges they face, incorporating youth development, volunteering, partnership, and equity into all that they do. In 2012, Marshman graduated from L.V. Rogers secondary school and last year attended her first year of the Applied Sciences program as a prerequisite for engineering.

Olivia Marshman will take her optimistic energy and compassion to the African nation of Tanzania. Kirsten Hildebrand

Then, this June she was awarded the Rotary Youth Leadership Award. Along with 50 other young leaders from B.C., Washington and Idaho, she had the chance to attend a week long youth leadership and communication seminar where she met alumni from YCI. “RYLA opened my eyes to everything I want to contribute to the world around me,” she said. Marshman knew little about Tanzania before being selected for YCI. It’s located in East Africa on the Indian Ocean, bordered by Kenya and Mozambique. Tanzania has a population of approximately 45 million people in a country only 1.5 times the size of Alberta. With a short life expectancy and a high infant mortality rate, 35.7 per cent of the population lives below the poverty line. Every YCI youth chooses a focus for their mission

and Marshman has selected gender equality. In Tanzania women are considerably underpaid for their undervalued skill sets. Their society is segregated and opportunities for women are scarce. “I want to go over and try change a little bit,” the Nelson youth said. “Coming from Canada with how many rights we have, it’s hard to see women who are just like us in these really poor conditions.” Marshman will be set up with a host family where she will be “drawn into the community,” she said. From there she will reach out to local youth and offer workshops and seminars ...on everything from employment training to raising awareness on HIV. “It’s such a big opportunity to be a youth ambassador in a different country,” said Marshman.

GREG NESTEROFF West Kootenay Advertiser

Twenty-eighth in a series on West Kootenay/Boundary place names Trail may be the Home of Champions, but Champion Creek was home to a now-abandoned Doukhobor community. According to G.P.V. and Helen Akrigg in British Columbia Place Names, the Champion Lakes (and by extension the creek) are named after James W. Champion, listed in the 1910 BC directory as a Fruitvale rancher. That may well be the case, but he’s a bit of a phantom, for he’s not in any other local directory nor does he appear in this area on the 1901 or 1911 census. The creek’s earliest mention was in the Rossland Miner of April 6, 1895: “Ore of a similar character to that of the Trail Creek mines is known to exist on the headwaters of Champion creek ...”

Champpion Lakes (and by extension the creek) are named after James W. Champion... That spring saw a stampede up the creek and about 40 claims staked. By 1897, Champion was also the name of a railway siding opposite the mouth of Marsh Creek on the Nelson and Fort Sheppard line. It appeared on maps as of 1900.

The sign reads ‘Blagodatnoye’ in Russian, meaning blessed or abundant. It was the name given to the Doukhobor settlement at Champion Creek. Greg Nesteroff

On the other side of the mountain, the Doukhobors bought 920 acres at the confluence of Champion Creek and the Columbia River in 1912 and established five villages, according to Jon Kalmakoff ’s online Doukhobor Gazetteer. They named the area Blagodatnoye, Russian for blessed or abundant. The community flourished for decades but was abandoned in the 1960s. All that’s left today is some stone foundations and a cemetery, which was restored in 2000. This area is also sometimes referred to as Poupore, a railway siding on the opposite side of the river that we’ll get to it later in this series. CASINO This

curiously-named

community, about 10 km southeast of Trail on a flat above the Columbia River, has two possible etymologies. The more likely, cited on the BC geographical names website, says it was named for Casino Creek, which in turn was “Named in association with Big Casino mine (and attendent mining camp) operating here ca. 1910.” The Big Casino claim was crown granted to John Weir on December 21, 1903. According to Trail of Memories, in 1929, D.B. Merry built a sawmill at the foot of the hill and logged timber in the Casino Creek drainage, part of which became the Casino townsite. He sold land at $25 per acre to the settlement’s original homesteaders, who orga-

nized as the Security Cooperative Society. The first ten families arrived in spring 1938. The Nelson Daily News of January 28, 1939 confirmed: “Water is obtained from Casino creek after which the place was named.” However, in Trail of Memories, the entry for Casino pioneers Walter and Charlotte Thomsen states: “The neighbors took turns playing cards in each others’ homes on the many evenings when they were snowed in and couldn’t get out to work. This is why they decided to call their village Casino.” The old Casino school still stands as a community hall. Next week: Solving the mystery of Castlegar.

Regional History

Author to work on Slocan history project Crop. “Since The Third Crop was published, several people have come forward who unbeknownst to me at the time have photograph collections and family stories that could have been included in my book,” said Rita. “This project will at least preserve those photographs and stories and make them available in the Slocan Valley Archives for consideration by other authors and researchers. Who knows, I may even put together another book on Slocan Valley families and history one day.” Unfortunately, it is the fate of many family photo collections to be damaged by water, mould or fire and even to be thrown out, divided up or lost when the owner dies or is moved out of their home.

Rory Lindsay Submitted

The Slocan Valley Historical Society is thrilled to announce that local author Rita Moir has been contracted to carry out an exciting project funded by Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance. The project — “Photo Albums and Shoeboxes of the Slocan Valley” — will see Rita visiting with those who have old photographs, documents and other materials of historical significance to the lower Slocan Valley – defined as the area from Slocan City south to South Slocan. She will be doing this in order to arrange for originals or digital copies to be donated to the new Slocan Valley Archives located in the Village of Slocan. She will be using a portable digital scanner to make

As a benefit to the donors, a digital copy of everything she scans will be provided to the donor on a memory stick free of charge, enabling them to easily take the memory stick to a local photo shop to edit or make enlargements, create postcards or to send

copies to family members. Where necessary, Rita will be able to do all the scanning right in the donor’s home without ever having to remove the photos from the donor’s possession. In some ways, this project will be a follow-up to the work Rita did in creating her recent book The Third

News City hires Ont. company specializing in municipal website design Valerie Rossi West Kootenay Advertiser

New online ‘hub’ planned for Trail The City of Trail is trading in its archaic website for a modern easy-to-use hub. But before it decides on the look and approach of its $33,500 website upgrade, web design company eSolutions wants to hear from Trail residents. An online survey can be accessed on the city’s website (www.trail.ca) and Trail’s Facebook page until Sept. 26. Feedback from the survey will be considered by the Warerloo, Ont., company that is coming to Trail in the beginning of October to get to know the municipality. “They’re going to come out here and get a feel for Trail and understand why we have branded Trail the way

we have and they’ll also do some training for us, such as writing for the web, some technical training and some background training, like how to work the system internally,” explained Andrea Jolly, Trail’s communications and event coordinator. Though the city likes to shop locally, Jolly explained that only three proposals out of the 14 the city received were local and they lacked an expertise in municipal website design. “What we were looking for was a company that could provide us with a team of individuals that could provide us with the services we need,” she said. “I’m very excited about it because I think your website is your No. 1 tool.” Jolly describes the current system as “very antiquated and very cumbersome.”

She said content is not easily accessed and can be frustrating to find. “I think it lacks ease of usability and simplicity and it may lack some content that we just don’t know about and that’s the purpose of the survey,” she added. While it’s difficult to say what the new concept will look like at this time, Jolly knows that it will be user-friendly and on trend. “First and foremost we want to keep our locals updated on what’s happening in the city,” she said. “We want to be able to provide them with a one-stop site that can get all the information that they’re looking for, a hub of information.” The website upgrade project was included in the city’s 2013 budget. Planning is already underway with an es-

Changes coming to Water Act submitted

VICTORIA - Fresh water is one of British Columbia’s most valuable natural resources. It provides us with clean energy, supports our iconic salmon runs and quenches our thirst. It is the lifeblood of our province and, as a limited resource, must be cared for wisely to ensure its continued health and security for future generations. Modernizing B.C.’s Water Act was a key commitment in our government’s election platform. Premier Christy Clark has directed me to complete consultation with British Columbians on a proposed new Water Sustainability Act with the intention of passing new legislation in 2014. The new act will update and replace the existing Water Act, respond

to current and future pressures on water and position B.C. as a leader in water stewardship.

Marshman to Tanzania Continued from P. A5

On top of the fulfillment of helping, rewards include making friends

and seeing new cultures. Tanzania is half-and-half catholic Muslim. “I am looking forward to living their day to day life,” said Marshman who is trying to learn Swahili. Marshman found out four weeks ago she was

selected and, with the help of local businesses and citizens, has raised all but about $260 of the $3,800 needed plus $2,000 airfare. “I am motivated. I am really, really motivated. I am not sure how to word

it because this has happened so fast for me. It’s still taking time to sink in.” Volunteerism runs in Marshman’s family. Her grandparents founded the McCreary Centre Society that aims to help

improve health among youth in B.C. The LVR grad wants to inspire others from her community to try something like YCI. “I wanted to show the other kids in Nelson... that you can dream big,”

she said. “We can make a difference on a global level.” Anyone wishing to donate to Marshman’s YCI trip can contact her at (250) 551-4342 or email her at o.marshman@ gmail.com

Horoscope

for the

Week September 13, 2013

Michael O’Connor

Tip of the Week: On the world stage the tension levels are high these days. Both Mars and Pluto, the rulers of Scorpio, are both at apex points in the overall planetary portrait. Mars is about action and assertion and, in its more pointed expression, aggression and violence. Pluto implies a purification process. It serves to bring issues to the surface to be cleaned, cleared altogether and invariably regenerated. Increased conflict in the Middle East is probably the main release valve. The political, economic, cultural and religious complexity of the entire region, what may be deemed the navel of modern civilization, defies simplistic analogies and pat conclusions. That the process and eventual outcome of a spectrum of the battle fronts will affect us all and is already is more certain. Some would argue that this protracted scope of conflict violence and death is necessary towards the eventual goal of creating stability and world peace. Not everyone agrees with this ironic assertion and opinions regarding the deeper motives are diverse. To say it is all about power is a perspective many would affirm. How these energies are playing out on a more personal level depends from person to person, group to group and so on. Yet, most if not everyone is noticing at least and actually experiencing the transformational push and purge. Gaining clarity about it in your life is something Astrology can do, if one is adept at using the tool. I invite you to make better sense of what is happening and why in your life.

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20)

LIBRA (SEP 22 – OCT 22)

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20)

Amidst a dynamic flow of change, both within and without, you are challenged to be resourceful. This includes making key improvements. Creating harmony in your most intimate relationships is a main focus. Focusing to be assertive on one hand yet diplomatic and respectful on the other is the golden mean you seek. Acknowledge your passions yet honor the feelings of others. Some major shifts and changes close to home continue to rock your world. You feel extra committed to future goals, yet significant others may have conflicting thoughts and feelings. You are willing to make sincere efforts to see all sides. Frustrations regarding external restrictions and denials are the pinch. Commit to creating mutual satisfaction. With each new day you feel more inspired, pressured and ideally committed to creating better health. It could be your physical body, but also your mental and emotional states probably need attention. The spiritual corner indicates your overall attitude and embrace of life’s deeper intelligence, purpose and timing. Identify and remove negatives of any kind. Many new thoughts, ideas and visions are flowing through your mind. You feel ambitious and want to invest somehow. Getting the funds and/or knowing what is worthwhile imply homework. Seeking the advice and guidance of experts feels right, even necessary. Regarding higher stakes, be extra cautious as you are likely to encounter some real players. Sometimes less is more. At other times we have to give more than usual. Knowing which is best and when is ideal and especially important now. Reaching out to increase the scope and quality of your communications is ideal. Exercising patience and deliberately letting go of control or attachment to things being a certain way will win big points. A pioneering adventure has begun. Yet, the real work is within and/or behind the scenes. Acquiring and implementing new communication tools and strategies is featured. A steady learning curve is implied. Take the initiative in this regard and avoid leaning on others. Yet, your lead may include soliciting advice and being open to new leads.

G A M E S

Though you may still feel inclined to linger behind the scenes, you are reaching out and thinking forward. When you do step out you want recognition and will achieve this goal by shaking the status quo somehow. This trend will continue. Financially, you are wise to think in terms of investment these days. Aim for the long term and be willing to establish a reliable foundation. Balancing an open minded approach with a sharp focus is the call now. Entertaining now prospects and possibilities will feel right and perhaps necessary. This includes new modes of communication and associated tools and techniques. Stimulating your network is also important. A high energy cycle now will activate whatever charisma you possess so put it out there. If you want some extra attention, now is the time to get it. Approach authority figures with added confidence that you will be seen and heard. Your ability to push through any obstacles is extra high now so make the most of it. Your focus these days, however, is probably best directed to follow through and completion versus new initiatives. Sometimes it is important to pay closer attention to the details of the big picture, like now. The opportunity for expansion based on new initiatives is available. Balancing strategy with diplomacy is ever ideal and especially so now. With your ambitions running high, the time is right to invest. Search for the people with the talent and skills you need. The transition between what was and what will be continues. These early days may require extra measures of nurturing and patience. The emphasis on learning is strong. Journalism and/or marketing are likely areas of study. Learning to decipher what others want and how to get attention are the crowd pleasers with the leverage you need. The seeds of new association and affiliation have been sown. Yet, you will have to play the game ardently to bring them to fruition. This means give 110 percent. You may feel stretched across a variety of fronts. This will continue so don’t take on any new projects. Extra study and research are required for you to win.

Benefit planned for Greenwood woman PAT KELLY West Kootenay Advertiser

Trail Society for the Performing Arts

A benefit is being held for Tammi Wilson, a local young woman whom specialists believe has Pick’s disease – a progressive, degenerative brain disease that gradually destroys one’s ability to behave appropriately, empathize with others, learn, reason, make judgments, communicate and carry out daily activities.

Pick’s disease usually begins after age 40; neither the cause nor the cure for Pick’s diesase is known Pick’s disease is one of a family of diseases known as Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD). While rare, accounting for only between one and five per cent of all dementias, it is the most common cause of early-onset dementia in people under sixty years of age. Pick’s disease usually begins after age 40; neither the cause nor cure for Pick’s disease is known. The outcome for people with FTD is poor. The disease progresses steadily and often rapidly, ranging from less than two years in some individuals to more than ten years in others. Depending on the symptoms and severity of the disease, the patient may need monitoring and help with personal hygiene and self-care. Eventually, there may be a need for 24-hour care and monitoring at home or in a special facility. A benefit is being

Joe Sealy and his band join with one of the country’s foremost gospel, blues and jazz singers, Jackie Richardson, for an incredible musical journey. Africville Suite tells the story of Africville, a small community located in Halifax which was ordered destroyed and the residents evicted to build a bridge across the Bedford Basin. The community is a symbol of African Nova Scotia identity and the struggle against racism.

organized by Tammi’s friends on September 14 from 4 to 10 p.m. at Lion’s Park in Greenwood to help raise funds for her care. There will be live music, a beer garden, BBQ and auction. Admission is by donation. Donations can be made for Tammi Wilson at the Heritage Credit Union in Greenwood. The following information of the condition is included courtesty of Wikipedia: “Pick’s disease is named after Arnold Pick, a professor of psychiatry from the University of Prague who first discovered and described the disease in 1892 by examining the brain tissue of several deceased patients with histories of dementia.[2] [11] As a result, the characteristic histological feature of this disease—a protein tangle that appears as a large body in neuronal tissue—is named

a Pick body. In 1911, Alois Alzheimer noted the complete absence of senile plaques and neurofilbrillary tangles as well as the presence of Pick Bodies and occasional ballooned neurons. The symptoms of Pick’s disease include difficulty in speech and thinking, behavioral changes, impaired regulation of social conduct (e.g., breaches of etiquette, tactlessness, dis-inhibition), passivity, inertia, over-activity, pacing and wandering.[3] The changes in personality allow doctors to distinguish between Pick’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease.[1] Pick’s disease is one of the causes of the clinical syndrome of frontotemporal lobar degeneration which has three subtypes. “Pick’s disease pathology is associated more with the frontotemporal dementia and progressive nonfluent aphasia subtypes than the semantic dementia subtype.”

The Bergmann Piano Duo (Elizabeth and Marcel Bergmann) have been inspiring audiences for over two decades with their dynamic and energetic performances of uniquely eclectic programmes. Their extensive repertoire ranges from the baroque to the contemporary.

Most in attendance would have been more familiar with the performers than visitors from deepest, darkest Robson would have been, but the visitors got a memorable evening. Kicked off by romping traditional tunes by Richie and Audrey Mann and the eight or so Golden City Fiddlers, the playbill contained a tremendous array… solos, duos, a trio and a quintet at the end to die (well, at least pretend you’re their cousin) for. Les Carter broke the ice with a tribute to some of the early material of the Rolling Stones. Tim

Bourchier and a pair of ‘Vultures’ offered up high-energy originals before Grand Mara’s Wishes served choice material by Bruce Cockburn, The Beatles and James Taylor/ Carole King. A guy named ‘Sparky’ lit a melodic, rhythmic fuse with his classical guitar, demonstrating a unique style – somewhat frantic, yet deftly exe-

cuted. Sparky’s definitely got his own way of doing things… plenty of fans, and it’s no wonder. Kyla Hanna kept up the momentum with a nice change of pace, delivering some more laid back, but no less intense offerings… a pair of self penned songs plus one by Bob Dylan. The West Kootenay’s own diva, Dawn Graham (please see photo on p. B2)

shared her awesome vocal talent on a three-song mixture of well-loved show tunes and a modern opera classic. The crowd lapped up every phrase. Graham, more than just a great singer, displayed a comfortable confidence that added to her mini-set. Norm Worsfold – now there’s some more comfortable confidence. Like

Community Bikers band together for kids in 2013 West Kootenay Toy Run

MARVIN BEATTY West Kootenay Advertiser

If the ground rumbled around your home in Castlegar on Sunday morning, it wasn’t an earthquake but the vibrations from hundreds of motorcycles taking part in the 26th annual West Kootenay Toy Run. Starting around 8 a.m. at the Castlegar Community Complex, riders in droves began turning up to register and drop off toys for the now famous event. “I like the cause,” said first-time participant Catherine Foster, who had a big teddy bear riding shotgun on her bike. “We have our fingers crossed for good weather. It looks pretty good right now.” Foster and her husband Mike, from Castlegar, had motorcycles quite different from one another and she said she would likely be more comfortable aboard her 2010 Harley Davidson Fat Boy than Mike would be on his custom-built,

He and his dad Tim were taking part together for the first time, though dad also rode in the event last year. As more and more riders arrived, West Kootenay Toy Run secretary Marla Doherty-Haynes com-

mented on how large the event has become. “We’re one of the only runs left in North America where the police have to help us shut down traffic,” she said. “I like that all of the money raised here, stays here, too.” Doherty-Hanes said she hopes to be able to organize some activities for children at next year’s

Community Rich music and happy crowds populate annual Garlic Festival Derek Kaye Special to the WK Advertiser

With the weather clearing and cooperating, thousands attended this year’s Garlic Festival in pretty New Denver. The wind was still next to the calm waters of Slocan Lake as the folk band from Nelson, Mountain Station hit the stage pickin’ and grinnin’ through old time traditional tunes. Like the whoosh of a windmill the boys fiddle’d and mandolin’d and banjo’d through definitely not square square dance jigs. An upright bass, supposedly made in...

Austria and well over a hundred years old provided the jug-like thump of the backbeat. After that rouse came a few magic tricks from the performer Flydini and then it was onto award winning, up and coming, new Kootenay folk stars Motes and Oats who brought with them their most amazing upright

bass player. They saddled through many crowd favourites original songs as well as making Folk Funk history with their uplifting version of the Bee Gees disco hit “Stayin’ Alive.” The pungent odour of garlic steamed from many sellers’ booths with what looked like to the casual eye as a bumper crop year. Art in the form of pottery and

stained glass as well as homeopathic remedies were some of the many items of art and food that were present at sellers’ stalls. Old timers and young’uns were being themselves, jiving to the good time music and vibes. At the end of the day it was all smiles among everybody, who said goodbye with a “See you next year.”

Two-thirds of returning employees have lingering difficulties

OTTAWA, Sept. 10, 2013 /CNW/ - Organizations across Canada need to put in place graduated return-to-work strategies and other accommodations to help employees who return to work after being treated for depression. This recommendation is part of a series of conclusions in a new Conference Board report, Depression in the Workplace: Insights From Employees and Supervisors, published today.

The new survey of employees and supervisors found that after a work absence due to depression, two-thirds of employees who return have difficulties concentrating, remembering things, making decisions, and performing tasks—even after being medically cleared to return to their jobs.

According to the report, the specific strategies and accommodations required will depend on the individual’s circumstances but might include reducing distractions to improve concentration or providing minutes of meetings to assist with memory and follow-up tasks.

“Individuals who experience depression can show a significant decline in their work productivity and problems can arise even years after the period of depression. This has a significant impact for employers in terms of lost productivity,” said Louise Chenier, Senior Research Associate.

“It’s important to stress that once an accommodation measure has been identified and implemented successfully, the employee should be treated like all other employees. The temptation is to lower expectations. This approach can lead to inequities between employees and perceptions of unfairness.”

Sculpture Talk

2012

Welcome to our regular feature introducing the artists behind the sculptures in this year’s Castlegar SculptureWalk. style jail cell opening. Visible inside is a roughly oval, egg shaped glass piece, a copper mesh wing embedded within it.

Completing the arresting work is a stylized bird featuring a bronzed body, a missile-like head turning into its tail feathers, glass wings and long spindly legs gripping the edge/top of the structure. It is angled down towards the barred space. Is it looking inside for its wing, or guarding what’s inside? What does the imprisoned glass with wing represent? Agnor leaves interpretation to the viewer, although the matter of choice speaks loudly and clearly to her.

Sharon Agnor ‘The Choice’ (steel, bronze, glass, enamel) First-time Sculpturewalk Castlegar participant Sharon Warman Agnor hails from the other Vancouver, in Washington State. She has provided an interesting, complex and enigmatic installation for us to enjoy. ‘The Choice’ is primarily steel but it also incorporates bronze touches, glass and enamel. Monolithic and widening as it rises, the undulating, burnished steel ‘head’ is highlighted by wavy openings on its sides and in front by an opening near the top, with uneven parallel bars running vertically. The effect is of an old

“The potential of a dream - the extremes between confinement and liberation, victory and defeat – these are the themes I was exploring when creating this piece,” she says. “Whether I’ve conveyed that is up to the viewer. Everyone sees different things in a sculpture, which makes the creative process so invigorating to me.” Most of her work is in either steel or glass or, as evident here, a combination of the two. “I like to use materials that are dramatically affected by extreme heat and intelligent design,” she notes. “With steel, bronze and glass, the transformation from basic elements to a work of meaning and beauty is especially satisfying.”

dition – like the bird perched atop ‘ The Choice’ - that draws the viewer’s eye. In Walking Warrior it is a jaunty red feather at the top, with cast glass as phantom breasts in an open chest cavity; the work was inspired by her successful battle with breast cancer. Her dreamy glass piece Haste the Day has clouds angled perpendicular above a face etched in the body of the work. Wendy Rose – a stylized steel figure of a woman and her workday accoutrements, on permanent display in her hometown – sports a bright red face and kerchief. It contrasts starkly with the silver steel that makes up the impressive work. The Wave features a dramatic blue triangle, while the surrealism of Dave’s Head is compounded by a floating eye on a singular serpentine steel rod. A member of the collaborative group Women Who Weld, six artists who share ideas and technique in creating pieces for public display in Vancouver, Agnor’s vision and talent are apparent. Incorporating visually bold, unique elements makes ‘The Choice’, and all her sculptures, compelling and inspiring. Hopefully this work will be the first of a number of her placements here.

Simone Schlichting ‘Spirit Lives On’ (bronze) The initial entry to Sculpturewalk by jewellery maker Simone Schlichting is based on her love of horses, and an Arabic poem that captures the inspiration for her first time sculpture well. It reads in part:

She is influenced by the Art Noveau style in her designs, and others, like her time spent travelling and exploring the ocean, surface too. Ultimately though, horses are predominant, and have been throughout her life growing up in the Slocan Valley. Taking on her first bronze then, the subject choice was easy. How best to portray it was one of the key questions. Schlichting opted for a bust, drawing inspiration from her own horses as well as the poetic stanzas that speak to equine majesty so fittingly. ‘Spirit Lives On’ captures the classical beauty and grace of the horse she has sculpted. The sleek, pinned ears, powerful jaw, flowing, twisting mane that drapes over to one eye and strong muzzle are realized beautifully here. So too is the curvature of the neck, the open, staring eyes and flaring nostrils – this is a work from someone who has been around and

owned horses all her life, as Schlichting has. The sculpture is finished in a brilliant golden patina that accentuates the strong lines she has created. “My artistic style has been influenced by the traditional and ancient pieces I encountered during my museum career,” she says. “Maybe even more so by my family as art has always been a big part of our lives through several generations now. I pay close attention to the use of lines to create an elegant movement and flow in my pieces. I’ve continued with that in my first bronze. I have enjoyed the challenge of working on a large scale without losing attention to detail.” Learning the art of sculpting from her father – Carl has a piece entered again this year – and brother, Simone has joined them in snow and ice sculpting competitions while expanding her very popular jewellery lines. Her first bronze reflects her talent, her training and her artistic pedigree.. She has taken a subject she is passionate about and created in a new medium, guided by telling, descriptive words that exemplify and influence the lustrous end result. SPONSORED by
