Fire Chief Gerry Rempel celebrates a team goal while Sgt. Laurel Mathew (#15) thinks upcoming strategy at Saturday’s Smoke n’ Guns road hockey game.

With a generous helping hand for each of the squads from the Castlegar Rebels, police, firefighters and city council members donned their game faces on Saturday afternoon on the parking lot of the Castlegar Complex.

As the shouting was about to die down, the firefighters’ club, which included the plucky Lawrence “Nose for the Net” Chernoff, had recorded an 11-9 win.

The whole event was staged on a sunny and frigid day to demonstrate why Castlegar deserves to be known as Kraft Hockeyville 2014!

Castlegar is on the right track in terms of its bid to earn the title of Kraft Hockeyville 2014. The first stage was completed last Sunday at one second to 9 p.m.

Now is the time for a bit of a breather until the same time on Satur-

day, March 8 during the Hockey Night in Canada telecast on CBC TV. At that time, 16 communities from across the country, half each in east and west, will be revealed. If Castlegar is one of those named, we’re in for a super-intense 48-hour drive for votes.

It was only in the last couple of weeks that

the local effort came about, spearheaded by Castlegar city councillors Sue-Heaton-Sherstobitoff and Dan Rye. A squad of influential locals was assembled for the early nomination phase of the proceedings and, by all reports, a strong and effective response was generated.

At stake with the Kraft Hockeyville program, along with valuable publicity and goodwill for the successful community, are some major upgrades for the local arena in the selected city, town or district.

In our case it’s the Castlegar Community Complex.

But however the chips may fall when it’s all said

and done, the exercise will have been a positive one according to Heaton-Sherstobitoff, who said on Feb. 11: “The good thing about all this is the spin-offs.

It looks like we’re going to do something with the Rebels every year,” she outlined.

“It’ll be like ‘Rebels-with-aCause.’ We will have events with them, like everyone gets in for $5 plus a donation for some cause.”

Last Saturday’s fun and frantic Smoke n’ Guns road hockey showdown has spurred the interest in something ongoing as well.

“The fire and police departments want to have an annual road hockey game,” Heaton-Sherstobitoff continued. “That’s what I was hoping - that we would have that spirit to spin off into something else, and it definitely has. To me… that’s how we win.”

To close, here is an excerpt from a Feb. 10 email from Sue to those helping promote the Castlegar effort: “I just want to say ‘thank you’ to all of you for getting the word out about ‘Castlegar is Kraft Hockeyville 2014.’

“At 8:59:59 last night we had 461

members and 589 uploads which is fantastic. My goal was to get between 400 and 500 nominations so this community definitely showed its support! Our facebook page has 1216 likes which is amazing!

“To all those who came out to the two Saints games, to the Kraft Hockeyville Night in Castlegar with the Rebels, and to the Smoke and Guns Road Hockey Game thank you. In 17 days we managed to get the word out and show the rest of Canada what Community Spirit is all about.

“Now to start planning the next stage. If Castlegar is announced (on March 8) we will need to have a plan in place to open up a couple of voting stations and have groups staff the stations around the clock as we would have 48 hours to get as many votes as we can.”

Here’s hoping we’re in on the 48-hour campaign! Watch for updates.

Acute care study to press ahead through summer 2014 Staff writer Castlegar News

With files from Sam Van Schie, Nelson Star.

A lack of early, enthusiastic regional support notwithstanding, the study being instigated by the City of Castlegar in relation to the future evolution of acute health care is worthwhile and doing what it was meant to do, indicated Mayor Lawrence Chernoff on February 12.

The mayor was contacted for comment in regard to a Nelson Star report describing reticence, on the part of Castlegar’s neighbours, to embrace the study.

“Nelson council is following the City of Trail’s lead by declining to take part in a Castle-

gar-funded initiative to develop a strategic plan on acute care,” the Feb. 11 article states in part, “for fear such a plan would endorse a central hospital model for all acute care and jeopardize surgical services offered at Kootenay Lake Hospital.”

It’s too early to take any offence at such reactions from other civic governments, suggested the Castlegar mayor.

“My take on it is, each individual community is going to make their decision,” said Chernoff. “In this process all we’re looking for is to get the communications going, and alive.” He denied there was disappointment over early reaction, from Nelson, for example, stating, “the City of Castlegar just took the leadership role to get the communications going.

All we’re looking for is feedback from communities... whether against or for... that’s the choice that each council... each director makes. And that’s fine. All we’re looking for is a little in-

put.” What follows is a portion of the late January press release issued by the City of Castlegar, announcing and describing the strategic program.

“Local government input is being solicited to help develop a strategic plan to assist the region in making decisions to guide acute health care investments in the coming years.

The work to develop the plan and community consultation is being undertaken by Jim Gustafson, a Kootenay-based consultant.

“It is known that in the coming years the Kootenay Boundary Health Region will undergo major studies to direct investments in acute care. Thinking strategically, sharing information and building capacity at the community level is the pur-

Challenge!

pose of this initiative.

“The importance of acute care to individual communities across the region is clear and making the right choices in the future is fundamental to the strategic plan as 40 per cent of capital costs with acute care are the responsibility of regional taxpayers.

“All 30 jurisdictions of the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital board are being asked to contribute to the draft strategic plan.

The strategic plan is scheduled to be completed by summer, 2014, and will be presented to the Board of Directors of the West Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital Board for their consideration.

The City of Castlegar is initiating the study.

Fit starts here.

Barefoot training, x training, running, gym gear.

Spin class is still working wonders for Denise! She added a one-hour Stretch and Strengthen class to her routine (in addition to her regular schedule) this week as well as running six of the seven days!

“I notice that I can run faster and take fewer walk breaks while running. Overall I’m feeling more energetic as I become accustomed to different workouts!” Her trainer Kristy is noticing positive changes as well! “Denise is doing fantastic! She already had a strong endurance base, but is pushing through the wall and taking the intensity up a notch.

She is also vastly improving on her strength training and stretching components of our workouts. Way to go Denise, keep up the good work!”

Phone: 250-304-8413 Email: havefun@kootenaycycling.com Amber is is still working her ‘Pantsoff’ with her yoga training. She is keeping up with her commitment to 6 days a week (in class and on her own).

Last week she even ‘kicked it up a notch’ by having three derby practices, one allstar bout, and a scrimmage. “I’ll fully admit on Monday I was pooped and took a rest day, but even while resting I found myself getting into relaxing yoga poses to stretch out my sore and tired muscles. Yoga is giving me more body awareness, I think the constant connection of mind and body during the classes is carrying into my life. Janice had attended my bout this past weekennd - talk about AMAZING support from a great instructor. She really has taken me under her wing and wants the best for me and my sport.

I’ll be working on building up my core this week to continue my pursute of becoming a better athlete. Yoga Crunches ... seriously who knew!? Oh, and today I was able to get myself up into a prop supported Head stand for the first time!”

And, Janice is still loving her role as supportive trainer. “Amber is feeling more comfortable as her muscles become more attuned to the different poses. Amber’s goals of greater flexibility, strength, and posture are already so noticeable! Her game stance is more powerful and she has greater stamina for the 60 minutes of derby play. Her coaches and team mates are noticing Amber can kick it up a notch and asking if it is the yoga!”

Phone: 250-365-5428 | 815 5th Ave - Castlegar, BC Week 3 brought nothing but great things for Hailey as her total weight loss in now at nine pounds!

(Her goal for the six weeks was to lose 10!)

Aside from the three training sessions she does with Spencer each week, she has been doing an hour of cardio/running every day as well as a few other fitness challenges to keep herself challenged. “I am feeling pretty amazing! I have lots of energy and have been trying to use it at the gym everyday. The scale keeps going down and I’m noticing it in my clothes as well which is even more motivation. My diet has changed drastically, but I’m loving it!” And she has nothing but great things to say about Spencer too ... “Spencer pushes me to my limits and keeps me going when I feel like I can’t anymore. Spencer is awesome and I could not have asked for a better personal trainer for this opportunity!” And from the sounds of it, the feeling seems to be mutual! “Hailey continues to work extremely hard with me and on her own. She is looking leaner and more toned, and her stamina is excellent!! Keep up the great work and just to get all mushy - you are making me proud!”

Workshop invites us to think strategically, act locally SUBMITTED

“The Castlegar Social Planning Society is offering a FREE workshop on Friday February 21,” states Board Chair Gordon Malcolm. “We hope to have a good turnout to learn about thinking strategically and acting locally.

“The morning session will include a presentation on strategic planning for non-profit organizations. Strategic planning is an important skill, but for many community organizations it’s difficult to develop and implement effective strategic plans.

The afternoon session will focus on how the community can work together to address common issues of concern. Dis-

cussion groups will consider how to build action plans to address shared community issues”.

The workshop is presented through the Learning Initiatives for Rural and Northern BC (LIRN).

Partners include the BC Rural Network, PeerNetBC, Irving K. Barber Learning Centre (UBC), Public Health Agency of Canada (Western Region), Access to Media Education Society (AMES), Leave out Violence (LoVE), YouthCo, the Association of Neighbourhood Houses of BC, the Fraser Basin Council (Smart Planning for Communities), and the Social Planning and Research Council (SPARC) of BC. A SPARC staff per-

son will facilitate the workshop.”

The mission of LIRN BC is to build on community capacity by providing individual organizations with learning opportunities to identify local assets, issues

and related resources, build local knowledge and develop skills and collaborative action plans that are relevant to their communities and contribute to effecting local consensus-oriented change.

Malcolm adds,

“Join us and learn how you can get more involved in your community. Thank you to local partners CBT, Sandman Hotel and Castlegar & District Community Services Society.”

MP reviews Tory budget

OTTAWA –Alex Atamanenko, MP (BC Southern Interior) says Budget 2014 falls short of taking significant action on many of the challenges facing Canadians today. “There are 300,000 more unemployed today than before the recession, many seniors are struggling and families are finding it increasingly difficult to make ends meet,” stated the NDP MP. “It appears that the Conservatives are delaying any new ideas until 2015, the election year.”

The Leader of the Official Opposition, Tom Mulcair had strong words on the budget, “Budgets are about priorities and choices.

“It’s very telling that the Conservatives would rather attack public servants, environmental groups, unions and anyone who dares criticize their short-sighted policies, than help Canadians.”

Atamanenko, did however, acknowledge some positive points found in Budget 2014. “There are provisions to expand high-speed broadband in rural areas, $390 million for food safety and the creation of the Canada Apprenticeship Loans Program which provides interest free loans of up to $4000 per person for technical training. That is a good thing.”

Residential Con struction Performance Guide For New Homes C overed b y Home wa rraNty I NsuraNC e IN brIt IsH Colu mbI

Know When to Make a Home Insurance Claim Owners of homes with home warranty insurance can search the Residential Construction Performance Guide to find out whether concerns they have with the quality of their homes may be covered by home warranty insurance.

View the Guide to find: • the minimum required performance of new homes • more than 200 performance guidelines, and • criteria to help consumers self-evaluate possible defects in 15 major construction categories.

a

Homeowners have a new tool at their fingertips to help them better understand how their new home should perform and how their home warranty insurance works.

The Residential Construction Performance Guide is available on the Homeowner Protection Office website www.hpo.bc.ca. It explains the basics of a well constructed home and how warranty providers evaluate claims for possible design, labour or material defects in new homes.

Every new home built for sale by a licensed residential builder in B.C. is protected by mandatory third-party home warranty insurance.

It’s the strongest system of construction defect insurance in Canada.

This simple, practical guide outlines more than 200 possible defects that are searchable online. This includes the most common defect claims that might be submitted under a home warranty insurance policy – from windows that malfunction, to driveway or interior concrete floors that have cracked, to siding that has buckled.

Designed primarily for conventional low-rise, wood-frame homes, the guide also provides some helpful guidelines for the common property of multi-unit buildings.

This Guide can be viewed on the B.C. government’s Homeowner Protection Office website.

Don’t hesitate to call What could have been a tragedy was avoided this past Monday night, Family Day. The episode illustrated the value of living in a caring community like this one.

We may not be our brothers’ keeper, but it’s nice to know we can be our neighbours’ guardian... or they can be ours.

A call came in to the Castlegar Fire Department in the late afternoon. A residential smoke alarm had been triggered and had been sounding for about half an hour before a neighbour decided to phone the fire department.

Kudos to the caller who gave the address and unit number of the residence, and mentioned that no smoke was visible. Firefighters rushed to the scene and quickly began ventilating a very smokey kitchen. A pot on the stove had boiled dry... and a resident who had been sleeping soundly... in spite of the loud alarm was discovered.

Damage in this case was limited to minor smoke damage, but had a fire suddenly started in the apartment, the local members would have likely arrived in time to extinguish it.

The important thing to learn from this scenario is that it may well be a false alarm, but even so, it’s never a wrong move to pick up the phone and call the fire department.

If there’s the slightest indication of an emergency underway, the sooner a call is made, the better. The number is 911.

The Castlegar Fire Department members have a lot of hard earned skills – ready to be utilized at a moment’s notice.

Had that Family Day phone call come any later, or not at all, the aftermath may have We want to hear from you.

A hard pill to swallow What’s in your medicine cupboard?

I recently discovered that if you want to know a good deal about a person all you have to do is take a gander inside their medicine cupboard.

From the above statement, you’re likely thinking that I am one of those people who, using the excuse that I have to relieve myself, take the opportunity to snoop while in the loo.

Wrong!

Nope. In fact, I am talking about my own medicine cabinet.

The other day I was having a stomach ailment and, my thoughtful husband - in his zest to help - came to me holding a bottle of Colon Health probiotic capsules. Huh? Colon health?

Where in heck did that come from?

For the life of me I can’t remember buying that. I mean, really, Colon health?

I can only speculate that at one point I was taking antibiotics and wanted to ensure that there was a healthy balance of good and bad bacteria. Somehow, I still can’t see me buying those capsules.

Maybe it was a ‘leave behind’ from one of our many visitors. A thank you gift maybe?

“Oh, I wanted to thank you for the great time so I left you the rest of my Colon Health.”

Cindy Amaral Production Manager

Sandy Leonard Production

But thank you honey for being so thoughtful and offering them up to me in your zeal to help me over my gastric hurdle.

Whatever the case might be, I thought it might be a good time to really take stock of what was lurking in the medicine cabinet.

Other than the usual medications of two 60-year-old people, I discovered folic acid. Isn’t that a prenatal vitamin? Long past that stage, thank you, I mean, thank goodness!

Sitting along side the vitamin was Gaviscon. No surprise there. The older I get the less tolerant my stomach becomes of overindulgences and spicy foods.

Keeping the Gaviscon company was a three-year-old bottle of a multi-vitamin for those over 50. Yes, those I clearly remember buying one year short of my 60th birthday. I suppose my rationale was I would use it to ward off aging the same way someone would use garlic to ward off vampires.

Obviously that didn’t work too well, the wrinkles kept coming. Even worse, have you ever tried to swallow one of those horse pills?

I often wonder why vitamin manufacturers couldn’t make vitamins which are easier to swallow. After

all, they are now making adult gummy bear vitamins. Yup. You read that properly. I saw them in the store the other day and was so tempted to buy them just for the gummy bear aspect, but the adult in me balked at buying gummy bear vitamins.

I’m not so sure that’s a great idea.

Can you imagine a toddler seeing those gummy bear vitamins and wanting some? And we all know child proof bottles simply means that the only age group which has trouble opening them are those of us over 30.

After more inspection, and digging deeper into the recesses of the cupboard, I found pure unrefined Emu oil. I was assured that it was a magic potion for anything that ails the skin.

Yes, it was potent all right.

Every time I used it I could smell the whole herd of Emus, who evidently were residing in my medicine cabinet.

And, even though we have no baby in the house, you will find baby aspirin by the bucketful.

Any good health practitioner will advise those of us of mature age to take an aspirin a day to ward off stroke and heart attack. So, baby aspirin, let me introduce you to Folic Acid, the prenatal vitamin.

Ah, the irony of life!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Fair, or not?

We are two seniors who moved to Shoreacres in 2010 onto 1 3/4 acres with a small house. We built a new house (75 & 78 at the time). While building my husband fainted and hit his head and had to have surgery for seepage on the brain, which effected his memories. About 2 1/2 years later, he decided he should fix the small house and rent it, so we’d have help when needed.

So I phoned the Regional District of Central Kootenay to see if this was legal. (Since I wasn’t present when the building permit was issued, and my husband doesn’t remember being told that its stated on the permit that its illegal, we didn’t know). I told the women that took my call we had 1 3/4 acres in Shoreacres, had built a new house and was it legal to rent the small house, she got the bylaws then asked how old the small house was.

I said it was 50+ years, she re-

plied normally you couldn’t, but the bylaw didn’t come into effect until 1985. The grandfather clause kicks in and the bylaw doesn’t apply to the small house, so go ahead fix and rent it, so we did. June 1, 2013 our tenant moved in, 1 1/2 week later we received a call from the building inspector saying he was coming to see if the small house had been shut down! I phoned the bylaw officer and told her what happened, she said the call was on record and she’d fixed it, strange she didn’t? They did trace the women that took my first call (they refuse to give us her name).

Even though we were misinformed, they insisted we evict our tenant - we weren’t about to do that to her. I spoke to a planner, (nice caring young man) who suggested we apply for a site specific rezoning to make the house legal; it was not approved. Trailers are legal, unreal!

At the public hearing it was suggested we be given a spe-

Pharmasave has all of your

cial permit for as long as we’re here. We also asked for one from our area representatives, and the planners made a note to be presented to the board; nothing was presented at the board meeting. Two of the people that voted for approval were not in the minutes, nor was any part of my speech, as promised. We’ve tired to get a special permit since, but they won’t take any responsibility and keep blaming me for not giving enough information, why didn’t she ask? What do they get paid for? We’ve met with intimidation, will be charged if we don’t comply, if that isn’t senior abuse, what is? Can’t accuse the RDCK of compassion!

There are plenty of illegal rentals here - we feel we’ve been victimized; fair is fair.

Give us a permit for as long as we’re here, that’s all we ask.

Valentine’s needs!

Chocolates, giftware, cards, and more!

Don’t forget Friday February 14th!

Communications Broadband in the Basin, part 4 and conclusion: What Might Be submitted

For an Open Access Broadband network to be successful it needs to have a regional focus and should be designed around the concepts of equity of opportunity and equity of access. And some services that could or should be augmented by the network, like health and education, must be guided by the same principles.

In health, for example, the argument should not be who has the inside political track to influence where the hospital is located or not located, but rather how the people of the region can best benefit from a coordinated set of regional services that involve doctors, nurses, public health hospitals and tele-health services.

Tele-health services are those services delivered or augmented by access to broadband.

“In the United Kingdom, the National Health Service (NHS) has provided tens of thousands of

Broadband committee members, from left: Dan Sahlstrom (WSA Engineering), Ev Surgenor (Chair), Aimee Ambrosone (Liason-CBT), Willow Enewold (Pinnacle PAC) and Christy Anderson (Syringa Consulting).

Submitted

its patients with remote tele-medical health treatment and monitoring. In Scotland alone this has accounted for a savings of 70,000 bed-days.

Specialist tele-health programs such as the Scottish tele-stroke network and the ENT tele-endoscopy in the north of Scotland have reduced waiting lists, travelling needs between remote areas, and specialist clinics for both patients and consultants, and have achieved big savings in hospital stay costs.”

(Australia’s project for universal broadband access: From policy to social potential, by Marcos Pereira Dias,

first Monday, Volume 17, Number 9-3 September 2012.)

There are many examples on the Internet of places throughout the world where health care providers are improving access and types of services to people through the use of broadband technologies and the creation of tele-health centres. One such example is on oil rigs.

A nurse on an oil rig, through broadband services, can provide a specialist located at a hospital with information on the health of a patient who has been injured or become ill. It may mean doing ultra

sound, taking xrays, blood pressure and/or blood work and sending this information to a specialist and then arranging for the specialist to interact via teleconferencing with the patient and to review the data. At this point, the specialist is able to make an informed decision whether the patient needs to be flown off the rig to a hospital or not.

Imagine the benefit to people in Castlegar if they had access to these kinds of services. People would not have to spend time, money and windshield time, sometimes during the worst weather of the year, for an often critical decision about their health.

Nor would people have to endure the time and expense of travelling to Kelowna or Vancouver with the all-too-familiar ten minute visit with a specialist only to be told “I’ll see you again in six months.”

That is a waste of time and resources on everyone’s part.

It is not efficient and

it is not effective. It may be possible in the future to utilize the broadband services that will be available through the Open Access Network to expand and augment

A very very happy valentines day to you.

As we celebrate our ten year anniversary it’s hard to believe that we’ve managed to keep it all together considering the many hurdles we’ve had to jump. You are my sanity when I feel nothing but Crazy, on the days when I’m sad you find a way to shine a light in those dark places. We can still giggle like dating teenagers and have the tingles when we’re in the same room. You have blessed me with 3 beautiful children and all the things I ever hoped for in this life. I will love you forever and for at least the next 50 years, unless the crazy scares you away; which ever comes first.

Love you so much.

Love Mom Dear Mom,

I’m in love with three guys and no, that’s not a lie.

Dear Boyfriend, In the last year you have shown me what true love is, you have made us a family and my kids love you for it. You keep me smiling, make me laugh till I pee and pet my head when I’m sad. We have made it through dying cars, pregnancy hormones, the loss of family pets, intoxicated in laws, living on broke, driving on empty and I love you more for every one of them.

Everyday I wake up beside you and know that regardless of your smelly farts, obnoxious snoring, bad puns and stupid video games I love you. You are the best man I could have ever found, we may not be rich but we have so much more than money could ever buy. Love Girlfriend

Looks Last year, Nissan introduced the bigger mid-sized Pathfinder SUV and this smaller Rogue shares many styling cues from its bigger brother. This, in my opinion, is a good idea. It has a sense of purpose, sophistication and commonality that helps define Nissan’s brand. Nissan wants to portray “everyday premium” with this new Rogue, including such nice touches as LED daytime running lights, wheel arch extensions, integrated mirror turn

In addition, this package includes navigation, a 7-inch touch screen monitor, power lift gate, blind-spot detection system, and lane departure warning system. These really are premium features found only in luxury SUVs just a few short years ago. Unfortunately, the top SL trim is only available in a two-row 5-seat configuration because

it was felt the price would be too high for compact SUV buyers.

Drive As hard as it might be to believe, this new, larger and slightly heavier (49kg) Rogue is actually more fuel-efficient than the last model. They were able to improve the economy by 18 per cent through the introduction of a new continuously variable transmission (CVT), aerodynamic tricks, and letting the carried-over engine breathe a bit better.

Still rated at 170hp, the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine does a good job in city driving, thanks to the gearing of the new CVT but can seam a bit underpowered for higher, passing manouevre on the highway. Overall, the person filling the new Rogue up with fuel will welcome this balance of efficiency and everyday drivability.

As part of the winter driving experience, I drove on an ice course in Macaglisse, Que., to highlight the vehicle’s stability system and the Active Trace Control feature. On the first run, through the twisty, sheer ice roads the entire system was shut off. As I crested a hill, then made a hard right turn, the Rogue slid all

the way out to the edges of the corner, almost hitting the opposing snow bank.

On the second run, with the advanced systems on, the same road was almost uneventful. The stability and traction control kept the wheels from spinning but the Trace Control System provides just a slight amount of brake force to the inside wheels to help the Rogue navigate the sheet ice with confidence.

Verdict The objective with this new Rogue was to be noticed and provide a level of refinement and creature comforts that the competition isn’t providing.

The pricing is fantastic, especially the middle SV models. The larger interior dimensions will always be welcome, as buyers like to get more for their money, but it is still small and efficient enough for city buyers.

Entertainment/Education

Korth combo Guilty as charged jim sinclair Castlegar News Editor

When someone happens to be one of the most pleasant and friendly people you could hope to meet, chances are your experience with them is going to be worthwhile.

When they display amazing technical prowess and originality on a variety of stringed instruments (along with an infectious sense of humour), the experience is coming close to what was enjoyed last Sunday at the Kootenay Gallery.

Craig Korth and The Guilty Pleasures, a Nelson-based outfit doing its first gig together, delivered a tremendous afternoon of entertainment for a crew that appreciated every twist and turn, jumping from genre to genre, with introductions almost as appealing as the tunes themselves.

Fifty-something whiz-kid

Pictured from left, Rob Fahie, Craig Korth, Julie Kerr, Rick Lingard and Steven Parish.

Korth, whose jaw-dropping banjo chops are just the tip of the iceberg, also brought his mandolin, guitar and dobro along and featured each during the show that spanned about two hours.

Korth has found his musical equals in the outstanding side-men on bass, sax, and drums. The variety of tunes

was interesting and exciting, and the inclusion of lovely original material by Korth’s wife Julie Kerr was an added treat.

Kudos to the Gallery, the TD Bank Concert Series and musical director Nicola Everton for arranging this kind of high-end entertainment for local music lovers.

Bring your imagination to life submitted

TRAIL – Aspiring writers have an opportunity to learn how to create stories, poems, and personal essays others will want to read with a creative writing course being offered by Selkirk College.

West Kootenay novelist, poet and performance artist Almeda Glenn Miller has been teaching writing for more than 15 years. Teaming up with Selkirk’s Studies in Writing Program, Miller will be teaching Creative Writing 100 at the Trail Campus starting on February 20 and running for 14 weeks.

“If you have a story you want to write, a poem floating in your mind or a political treatise you’ve been bugging your pals about for years, this class will help you find the courage to get it done,” says Miller.

Miller’s methods are described as unconventional, but her results are always interesting. Former students rave about what the veter-

an writer has done for their skills and passion to pursue the craft.

“The writing course at Selkirk College rescued me,” says graduate Roz Nay. “I joined it when I was awash with new motherhood and from it I rediscovered my love of writing, going on to complete a first novel as a direct result of the teaching.”

Through Selkirk’s transfer agreements with other post-secondary schools, Creative Writing 100 also provides a head-start for those looking to further pursue a degree at other institutions in this fully credited course.

In-class and take-home writing exercises will ignite your imagination. Students will read each other’s work, and learn how to give each other healthy and helpful feedback. Students will come out of the course with some of their own poetry, personal essays and fictional stories.

Former student Julia Caceres Booth spent two years at Selkirk College under Mill-

Monthy faith-related submission deals with Biblical Love SUBMITTED

“Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not

in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.” – I Corinthians 13:4-7 Since Valentine’s Day is this month, I decided to write on the subject of love.

There is no shortage of Scriptures on love

There is no shortage of Scriptures on love and no one is more qualified to speak on the subject than God.

and no one is more qualified to speak on the subject than God for we are told that “God is love” (I John 4:8).

Frankly, the world seems rather inept to give us a true explanation of what real love is.

Therefore, we turn to the Bible for

an accurate view of what love is like and 1 Corinthians 13 is a chapter entirely given to the subject.

Notice first, that the word love is not used but rather “charity.” Some translations prefer the word love but I like this rendering for it conveys the idea of giving.

You can give without loving but you cannot love without giving. Notice how the verses above describe love.

Love is long-suffering.

Whenever we act impatiently toward another we have ceased to act in love.

Love is kind. This is the counterpart of patient – patience takes anything from others, kindness will give anything to others.

Love is not envious. There are two levels of jealousy.

One says, “I want what they have”- the other says, “If I can’t have it, I wish they

Pastor Tom Kline, Castlegar Baptist Church

love them.

Love does not seek her own; it is not selfish. Love is not easily provoked. It guards against being irritated, upset or angered.

Love thinketh no evil.

The idea of this phrase in the Greek is to keep account of wrongs suffered.

If you keep track of these you’re sure to quench love. Love doesn’t rejoice over evil; it is not suspicious or cynical, but gives the benefit of the doubt. Even when belief in a loved one is shattered, love still hopes. Love holds fast, it refuses to stop bearing or stop believing, or stop hoping. Love doesn’t give up!

I want you to know that Jesus loves you more than you can imagine and He can teach us to love each other.

May God richly bless you and may you rejoice in the love He has for you.

Both are unloving.

Love does not vaunt itself, in other words it doesn’t brag. This is the other side of jealousy – trying to make others jealous of what we have.

Love is not puffed up; it is not arrogant.

Arrogance is big headed, love is big hearted.

Love doesn’t behave unseemly or rudely.

Lifestyle Atamanenko on 2014 budget Happy to see changes for the better Continued from P. A5

ing their glasses of wine from one area to another. At one Okanagan winery we heard the ridiculous story of customers being forced to take their drinks outside and walk along a path and down stairs to get to picnic benches – it was illegal for them to take a shorter, stair-free direct route through the building because part of it is an area designated to hold extra tables and chairs for a restaurant in the same building.

What wineries and craft breweries and distilleries have had to cope with in BC is regulations that seem like vestiges of the prohibition era. Indeed, some of the public’s objections to specific changes sound exactly like that. The fear that allowing pubs to open up to families with children of any age is a good example. I recall carrying our months-old first son in a snuggly and walking into a completely empty pub on one of the Gulf Islands more than 30 years ago. Only with the co-operation of an understanding server, who was willing to risk her job, allowed us to sit on the patio to have lunch in the only restaurant in the area.

In my opinion, the single easiest way to civilize behavior in pubs is to allow children in them. We have never, ever seen the slightest hint of a problem when we have gone into child-friendly pubs in other provinces and countries.

The many changes promised by the BC government are long overdue, but credit to Premier Christy Clark and her team for taking up the challenge to modernize liquor policies. Finally.

Like everyone I’ve ever spoken to with any connection to the wine industry, I have long been critical of BC’s hopelessly out-dated and overly restrictive liquor regulations.

With the changes announced recently though, I am happy to give credit where it is due.

Many of my criticisms have not been connected to the availability of alcoholic beverages—in grocery stores, for instance. And happy hours are a nice idea but not particularly important to me. I am far more interested in seeing the wine, beer and liquor industries acknowledged as potentially much greater contributors to the province’s economic development. Nitpicky regulations and ones that simply don’t acknowledge the fact we are now in the 21st century have hampered these industries in many ways. Fortunately, the government’s announcement that it will adopt all of the recommendations from the BC Liquor Policy Review addresses most of my concerns.

One of the most exciting changes will come with wineries being allowed to establish off-vineyard tasting rooms and wine shops.

On visits to the state of Washington we have seen the clear benefits of wineries there setting up shop in other locations. The most obvious example was a trip that took us to the depressingly quiet, beautiful downtown core of Lewiston ID. It seemed like half of the retail buildings were empty. A short time later we were in Walla Walla, WA, where a couple of dozen tasting rooms are located right in the downtown core. Empty retail spaces were non-existent and in the evenings the streets were alive with pedes-

The MP has some concerns, however, of the lack of specific support for rural infrastructure. “There is no commitment to a small communities component which was a key ‘ask’ of Canada’s municipal leaders. Also, I am worried that the

Building Canada Fund has no real criteria, which could leave municipalities at risk of missing this year’s construction season,” concluded Atamanenko.

In the words of NDP National Revenue critic, Murray Rankin of Victoria, the Conservatives have failed to stand

up for British Columbians. “This budget was an opportunity for the government to invest in jobs, to tackle the housing crisis, and to reverse reckless decisions like gutting the coast guard and closing the oil spill response centre. Instead, they’ve chosen to do nothing,” said Rankin.

La Dolce Vita trians strolling around, taking part in planned events and just wandering, not only into tasting rooms but into other businesses as well.

The once busy Walla Walla airport, once busy with ancillary businesses like aircraft service centres had become pretty much moribund. An economic development effort, though, had attracted about a dozen and a half wineries to set up tasting rooms. A beautiful five-building development was constructed to incubate new wineries, which are restricted to the number of years they can remain in the buildings before moving into another location and freeing up the space for another newcomer.

Both of these concepts— off-site tasting rooms and incubator wineries - came to life because the Washington government has a well-earned reputation for working with the private and academic sectors to benefit all sectors.

Other changes to come seem to address some niggly rules, like ones that prevent winery customers from carry-

Of course, it’s gotta be funky so people can dance to it. Lately, I’m focusing on creating memorable songs, so it’s always real music and not just a collection of cool beats.”

His debut album is poised to set a new standard in the wild world of dubstep. DATSIK cut

Saints dominate with back-to-back wins DEREK KAYE Castlegar News contributor

Last weekend was a great one for Castlegar hockey fans.

The beloved KIJHL Rebels won both their games to help toward clinching their playoff spot. The collegiate Selkirk Saints had no trouble winning both their games. The 7-0 win over the University of Victoria Vikes on Saturday February 8 gave Saints’ goalie Chris Hurry a shut-out on the same night as receiving the player of the month and game first star honours.

The following evening the Saints were across the border making a case for Canadian hockey superiority, decisively beating their University of Eastern Washington opponents 6-3 on a cold Sunday afternoon in Spokane.

The Saturday game at the Complex really was a standout for Chris Hurry as the Vikes landed a total of 45 shots compared to the Saints 35 shots of which the Vikes Goalie Nick Babich allowed seven to cross the goal line. On offence the Saints were faster on the plays and turnovers resulting in some quick passing

and breakaway opportunities.

Captain Logan Proulx teamed up with line mates Jackson Garrett and Cody Fidgett to produce the first two goals at 13:43 and 9:23, Fidget scoring the first and Proulx the second. The next period scoring opened at 10:56 with the Proulx and Garret line accompanied by goal scorer Connor McLaughlin. Two more goals were landed in the second period by Tanner Lenting (assisted by Matthew Luongo and Mason Spear) and Thomas Hardy (assisted by Darnell Dyck and Dylan Smith).

The third period featured continued domination for the Saints as they scored twice more while Saints goalie Chris Hurry refused to let any of the Vikes shots hit their mark. The Proulx-Garrett line, this time including Tanner Lenting, scored at 10:17, Garrett being the triggerman. One last goal at 6:32 by Ryan Procyshyn, assisted by Markus McCrea and Mason Spear, gave the Selkirk Saints a lucky seven.

Coach Jeff Dubois was quick to praise the consistent goaltending by Chris Hurry.

“Offensively we had the guns going pretty good; defen-

sively not our best - that was the most shots we’ve given up at home this season. Chris Hurry was a much bigger part of the game then you might think your goalie would need to be in a seven-nothing win.”

Second star kudos went to Logan Proulx and third star to linemate Jackson Garrett who together were responsible for four of the seven Saints’ goals.

Jackson Garrett, obviously elated by the evening’s events, spoke to the Castlegar News after the game.

“Scored a nice goal,” he summarized. “Logan made a really good pass there on a three on two, made a nice move to the back end and put it in and was really happy about it. Play with two really good line mates, Cody Fidget and Logan Proulx. They’re unreal hockey players. It makes it super easy to play with them that’s for damn sure.”

The Saints next home game is Valentine’s Day (Friday February 14) at the Castlegar Complex against Trinity Western. Puck drops at 7:30 p.m. The Saints (as of the most recent win) were second in the league standings, four points behind Simon Fraser.

Hot streak

Saints Captain Logan Proulx No. 27 sets up play with Line Mate Jackson Connor No. 8.

This line would score 4 of 7 Saints goals.

Sports Goal glut suits Rebels, sinks Bruins Derek Kaye Castlegar News contributor

It was a good weekend (February 7 and 8) for the Castlegar Rebels. They are in the final stretch of the regular season and the need to secure their play-off spot is front and centre. So this past weekend with back-to-back games, the first on Friday in Castlegar and the next day in Grand Forks, had a sense of pressure as the last place team Border Bruins try to dislodge the teams above them including third place Rebels in the Murdoch Division.

The Border Bruins with their new coach Kevin Flather pushed the Rebels to perform and fight to prove their worth.

And with a stroke of numerology the Rebels beat the Border Bruins by the same score both nights 6 - 2.

Scrappy is not a strong enough a word to describe the abundance of cheap shots and provocations that caused intense fighting at Friday’s game. Fortunately for the home crowd Rebels Diego Bartlett ended up victorious in landing the most punches in the shortest time possible against his struggling opponent in the most major of the tussles, and was awarded a double game misconduct.

Puzzling is a good word to describe how you can be ejected from a game twice but somehow Diego managed to do it with style.

Friday’s game opened with

Border Bruins goalie Dominic Stadnyk lies flat on his back as another Rebel goal is scored late in third period.

Derek Kaye

the Border Bruins on the scoreboard first at 17:36 with a goal by Max Newton assisted by Lukas Peters and Lincoln Lane. The Rebels scored just past the halfway mark in the first when Kody Disher jammed the puck by Bruins goalie Dominic Stadnyk in a crease-side melee. In the second period the Rebels scored on two power play opportunities – by Jeremy McNeil from Darren Medeiros and Connor Beauchemin at 16:37, and again at 6:40 by Chase Reddin assisted by Aaron Brewer and Kody Disher. As Bruins Coach Kevin Lather would later comment, “Bottom line, penalties killed us.” The Bruins did score once in the second, Kyle Dolly from Tucker Brown and Nathan Cory.

Diego Bartlett gave the Rebels one more goal before the second period ended, set up

by Derek Georgopoulos and Hunter Jenerou.

The third period was dom-

inated by the Rebels as they scored twice more in the last half with Kody Disher (Aaron Petten and Aaron Brewer) finding the mark, and Matt Reed filling an empty net with only 1:48 left in the game assisted by Aaron Petten and Kody Disher along with the Border Bruins last minute attempts to get a goal through.

Matt Reed spoke later that, “It was a rough game tonight, both teams are battling for a play-off spot…we’re crash bang do everything we can.”

It certainly was a philosophy that worked as the Rebels inch closer to the play-offs to defend their 2013 championship.

This weekend will find the Rebels playing the Beaver Valley Nitehawks on Friday February 14 in Beaver Valley and on Saturday in Castlegar.

Beaver Valley is in second place above Castlegar’s third place in the Murdoch division 3.25 4.7 of thexKIJHL.

Sports Kannibelles digest a victorious encounter with Fernie guests

submitted

The Castlegar campus of Selkirk College still doesn’t know what hit it on Saturday. After a full day at a roller derby referees’ and officials’ camp, the “zebras” got to test their reaction time and whistle-blowing skills in a fast-paced game between the Kootenay Kannibelles, our West Kootenay travel team, and the Avalanche City Roller Girls from Fernie, BC. The Kannibelles and ACRG have each seen some major shakeups since they last faced off in August 2013. Both teams had lost a number of long-standing teammates and picked up some new talent. Blockers and jammers alike found themselves lined up against unknown opponents with unknown skills, keeping every skater on her toes from the first whistle blow to the final one.

With familiar jammers like Jenna Jammerson and Flash Fury skating for ACRG, the Kannibelles knew that they had their work cut out for them – but there proved no time to relax when the Fernie team debuted new jammers like Jake Break and Meter Maid, who proved that tenacity was in their blood far before they dressed in red and black.

Massage Therapy and Fibromyalgia Fibromyalgia (FM) is a systemic disorder that affects between 2-6% of the general adult population. It is characterized by the identification of 11 of the 18 typical tender points on both sides of the body(for example the front of knee or the lateral aspect of the elbow), as well as widespread muscular aching lasting more than 3 months. What causes FM is still not clear but theories include immune abnormalities or a genetic predisposition. No matter its origin, FM is a difficult condition to be diagnosed with. Each individual is affected differently and can have mild to severe symptoms that are aggravated by lack of exercise, overexertion, extreme temperature changes or infectious illness as well as other factors.

The most common symptoms of FM are generalized pain, moderate to severe levels of fatigue and lack of sleep. Massage Therapy is a great tool to use on FM, the therapist can tailor the massage to suit the patients pain tolerance and energy levels during each individual visit.

Using gentle pressure and rhythmic techniques massage therapy can help to decrease the sympathetic nervous system from firing, calming nerves and decreasing stress. A study on 30 people who received massage therapy as well as other modalities revealed the group receiving massage therapy had improvement in tender point pain, stiffness and fatigue, as well as fewer nights of interrupted sleep (Sunshine et el.,1995b).

Self-care can greatly improve a person living with FM life. Some suggestions for self-care include Epsom salt baths, saunas or heating pads to decrease muscle and point tenderness, or using essential oils such as lavender and camomile, they have a great soothing and analgesic effect on the nervous system. Proper posture patterns are very important to decrease the unnecessary load on joints and muscles that are already fatigued. A Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) would be able to help a person understand postural muscles and how to activate them. In some cases a referral to a naturopath may help to optimize immune function, especially if your FM flairs up with sickness. Relaxing exercises such as yoga and Tai Chi have also proven to be beneficial to people with FM. No matter if your Fibromyalgia is mild or severe, if you’ve just been diagnosed or been living with it for a long time, it’s important to know the resources that are available for you and what you can do for yourself to live a long and healthy life.

There is no cure for Fibromyalgia but it is frequently treated with medication, developing lifestyle management skills, and complementary therapies (such as massage therapy, acu-
