The BC Teachers’ Federation has voted in favour of escalated strike action by a margin of 86 per cent. A full fledged strike could begin as soon as Monday, June 16.

The results of the strike vote by local teachers is not to be made public, Kootenay Columbia Teachers’ Union President Andy Davidoff says – that’s because of a “protocol,” but he did divulge on June 11 that the local response was “resounding.”

Education Minister Peter Fassbender, whose comments were obtained from the ministry website, said, “The vote results are not unexpected. While the BCTF leadership received the mandate they sought, no one should interpret this as any kind of enthusiasm on the part of teachers to shut down schools.

“I know teachers would prefer to be in their classrooms and I know that students and parents would rather finish this school year on a positive note. It is now up to the BCTF leadership to decide if they are going to move to a full walkout.”

The local teachers’ union spokesperson feels there is more behind the negotiations than what’s currently on the table.

Excitement builds by the pond-full jim sinclair Castlegar News Editor

People are naturally interested in major improvements to their city, town, village or region, but when they anticipate an actual physical relationship with a new amenity, that interest builds exponentially.

Castlegar’s Millennium Ponds project is the sort of addition a lot of folks have asked for.

Councillor Dan Rye provided a brief update on the progress of the project during the regular city council meeting of June 9.

He elaborated on the topic the following morning in a conversation with the Castlegar News.

“Mid to late July,” he reaffirmed as to the expected date of completion.

“We’re working on irrigation around the outside, and they’re spreading topsoil in the area. We’re going to have a grassy area around the ponds.

“The ponds themselves are pretty well done,” he

With the Rotary outdoor gym in place and more work ahead by the service club, plus the bike park for which work is well underway, there can be many active days ahead for Millennium Park.

“I get comments all the time… ‘When’s it going to open,’ ‘We can hardly wait!’

A lot of families are going to use that area down there,” said Rye. The budget, according to the councillor had been increased to a total of about $1.8 million before the work had actually begun, and has stayed within the plan. In Rye’s opinion it will provide the city with ‘good bang for the buck.’

“Im excited,” he concluded, “I know that, and I know the buzz in the community seems to be that way too.”

Castlegar mayor addresses national forum JIM SINCLAIR Castlegar News Editor

There is value in civic representatives’ attendance of regional, provincial and national events.

Whatever the location, there is usually something worthwhile to be drawn from the experience even if it may take a while to put it into practice.

Annual Union of BC Municpalities (UBCM) conventions and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) conference held in Niagara Falls, if nothing else, give the local reps a chance to find out how common issues are handled in other jurisdictions. In the case of the most recent (last week in May) national meeting, it also gave Castlegar the chance to be held up as an example of how positive work is being done in an important field.

Mayor Lawrence Chernoff shared some of the aspects of a presentation he made to about 600 people at the conference.

He did so in a verbal report to city council during the June 9 meeting.

The topic was climate change and what can be done at the municipal level to mitigate its impact.

A presenter from Halifax also spoke, along with

Don Forgeron, President and CEO, Insurance Bureau of Canada and Shawn Tupper, Assistant Deputy Minister, Public Safety Canada.

Here’s the session summary as contained in the FCM program: “From unpredictable seasons and rising sea levels to extreme weather and invasive species, climate change is impacting communities across Canada. Learn why your community must adapt to our changing and increasingly unstable climate.

Hear how local governments are planning and implementing adaptation measures. Discover resources,and national programs to help your community build its resilience to climate change.”

Steering clear of overly specific details, Mayor Chernoff spoke on June 10 of the experience.

“I think the number one highlight is how we’re doing the right things in our community, and how we’re helping the smaller communities in our surrounding areas. We’re developing plans and I think that’s the big thing, because climate change is going to be over a long term.” Storm water management was high on Chernoff ’s list of steps looked at locally.

The mayor stressed the importance of preparing for extremes which are now more likely than ever.

He also suggested that older, traditional models of what to expect in the way of weather patterns

not be taken as gospel.

“It’s the same with the conservation of water,” he stated. “How much snow melt we get… how much flooding, those kinds of things. We’re really building for the future.”

What it boiled down to for Chernoff, was the need for thoughtful cooperation between big and small communities in whatever climate-related initiatives are taken. The flip side is that too many smaller communities are doing nothing at all.

“They don’t think it’s affordable to do it,” he concluded.

“Without partnerships you just can’t accomplish anything.”

Kootenay River emergency ends well

staff writer

Castlegar News

Nelson RCMP responded on June 10 to a call concerning an overturned boat near Shoreacres.

A press release issued

by Sgt. Darryl Little of the Central Kootenay Regional RCMP indicates it was about 11 a.m. in the area known as Slocan Pools, and no one was visible near the boat.

Nelson Search and Rescue, Beasley Fire Department and Crescent Valley Fire Department were im-

mediately dispatched. Within a few minutes of rescue crews being deployed, Nelson RCMP received a call from a local South Slocan resident, Chris O’Gorman who advised he had pulled an elderly man from the river.

The 84 year-old Glade resident was out fishing in the Slocan Pools when he discovered his boat was filling with water. Before he could bail out the boat it overturned. The man who was wearing a life jacket, was able to hold on to the overturned boat and call

for help. Mr. O’Gorman was out walking his dog when he heard the calls. He saw the boat and raced to the man’s aid by paddling his canoe out into the river with a stick he found on the shore using it as a make shift paddle. Mr. O’Gorman was able to reach the man and pull him in to shore.

The elderly male was cold but otherwise un-injured.

Cst. Lowing spoke with the Glade resident who advised he was starting to feel that he would not be able to hold on anymore as his hands were too cold. That’s when

he saw his rescuer on the way. The RCMP thanked Mr. O’Gorman for his heroic rescue, pointing to it as another reminder of the importance in always wearing a life jacket while boating or using any other type of watercraft.

The Sergeant also took the opportunity to urge boaters to make sure to tell someone where they’re going and when they expect to return. In this case the life jacket and the timely arrival of Mr. O’Gorman prevented a potential tragedy today on Kootenay River.

Major civic kudo awarded to Kris Stanbra

Jim Sinclair

Castlegar News Editor

Lifetime Castlegarian Kris Stanbra has been chosen by the local Knights of Columbus chapter as the recipient of a significant civic distinction.

Stanbra has been a tireless force for good in the community for many years.

She was badly injured in a car accident in the early 80s and has made remarkable progress in surmounting the after effects of a spinal injury.

Stanbra had recently been honoured with a high profile “Courage to Come Back” award for her inspirational efforts, and advocacy for others.

At St. Rita’s parish hall on June 4, in front of a large crowd of well-wishers including representatives from three levels of government, the wellknown and well-loved Stanbra was gracious and humble.

Glowing tributes were delivered by the mayor, local MLA and spokesperson for our MP. A key address was made by Kris’s lifelong friend and nominator Gail Oglow.

“What has impressed me over the years about Kris?”

Oglow later asked the Castlegar News, “why I found her worthy to be Castlegar’s Citizen of the Year? As you

Castlegar’s 2013 Citizen of the Year for 2013 enjoys one of her gifts on June 4. On Stanbra’s right is Mayor Lawrence Chernoff. Pictured from right are MP Alex Atamanenko’s representative Margaret Tessman, and MLA Katrine Conroy.

can imagine, there is a whole list of reasons.

But there are two consistent attributes: happiness and determination.”

“I was aware of her long list of volunteer activities over the decades and she was always so upbeat and happy when talking about a particular project she was working on and the amazing team members she was working with.

Also, if anyone has met Kris, they can sense her joy of life soon after engaging in conversation with her.

“She’s worked on so many volunteer projects, with one of her biggest commitments being disability awareness.

Her enthusiasm when volunteering with any organization is uplifting. Whether it was Rick Hansen projects, Red Cross swim lessons, coaching, almost 30 years of service to the City re: Abilities Aware-

ness, Parent Advisory Chair, consultant for Interior Access Network, or helping save Castlegar’s ultrasound or now supporting Special Olympic athletes...her list of service is impressive!”

“Yes, she was in a horrific accident years ago, but she worked so darn hard, for years, to be the best that she can be and has never looked back.

It is easy to forget that she has a physical disability because of how she fiercely yet

sensibly tackles life.

Like last year when we went mountain biking on a portion of the Western Trail Railbed…Kris was right there with us on her scooter!

“She is one of the gutsiest and most inspirational people I know.”

Accepting the award on June 4, Stanbra took the podium.

“I am very thankful to live in this wonderful community,” said Stanbra.

“I’ve enjoyed every

moment of all the different avenues my life has taken.

“I wouldn’t be here without the unending love and support of my husband Larry... the love of my life... my soulmate who’s been on this wonderful journey with me now for 36 years.”

Stanbra also had special thanks for: “My mother Ev Clarke, who, along with my sister Patty has been my inspiration and my rock, my whole life.

Our sons Clark and Cole are the joy of my life; they have turned into such loving, caring young men.”

Stanbra then took a moment to focus on the influence of her parents who had arrived in Castlegar in 1926.

“They showed us by example, how rewarding it can be to give back to your community.”

Teachers and government: make a deal, soon With time left to get a deal done and put the current teachers’ job action to rest before the end of June, we can expect more of everything now that the option of a full strike has been chosen by the BC Teachers Federation.

As of yesterday, a fresh arsenal of rhetoric is ready to be unleashed on the public as both sides will make the most of every opportunity to discredit the position and tactics of the other.

Watching from the middle of the labour battleground are the thousands of students who would far rather be thinking about their futures and how big a role education plays. Parents and guardians are naturally directly involved and rightfully concerned... but so should everyone, to some degree, be.

The health and effectiveness of our education system, and the climate in which it’s run have a huge impact on our economic and social future.

As we struggle with continual labour management strife, not just between teachers and their employers, our economic competitors in other countries and provinces move ahead with the pedal to the metal.

Our educational system may not be the best in the world but it’s crucial that it keeps operating while improvements are considered and implemented.

There may be worse times of year for a teachers strike, but there isn’t a good time for one and the best time for a negotiated settlement to the current impasse... without question, is soon.

We want to hear from you.

Spots in Time - Gord Turner

Collector-mania trips Do you have friends who are obsessed with collecting certain things?

Perhaps it’s old coins, first-edition books, navy memorabilia, or old soda pop bottles. These friends spend time on the Internet checking their sources, and often they know every website related to their special interest. Often, they travel widely to get to shows where their items are being auctioned or are for sale.

My brother-in-law collects many old things, but he is primarily interested in old cars. Sometimes we joke that he bought his farm so he’d have a place to store his many vehicles. He will drive through winter storms from Alberta to southern Nevada to pick up a particular 1954 Chev, and sometimes he will make similar trips just to buy available parts for his host of vehicles.

Recently, we visited his farm and viewed his collection of about 150 vehicles, all needing some form of repair.

Some, of course, he has purchased for parts for the better vehicles in his menagerie. It’s an impressive display, but he will need two or three lifetimes to get them in shape.

I have friends who collect unfinished old furniture and who travel widely to do so. They think nothing of shipping Theresa Hodge Office Manager

home “ancient” furniture they’ve discovered in Indian Head, Saskatchewan, or Olds, Alberta. In fact, some of what they pick up I would consider derelict furniture, hardly worth sending to the dump.

These friends, however, are also adept at fixing these pieces. They know how to piece together old wood, what type of sanding is required, and which oil to use to restore wood grains. I’ve seen a chair I wouldn’t pay a dime for become a much-sought-after item after 10 days of restoration and love spent on it.

My wife is one of these collectors, and her fixation is on types of glassware. She looks for four or five types of glassware, some going back to the Depression. One of these started many years ago because I acquired an Iris and Herringbone butter dish that belonged to my grandparents. Over the years, we have found every dish possible within this pattern.

One of my wife’s collecting projects was for one of our daughters-in-law.

She liked green Jade King glassware, but except for a few coffee mugs, she couldn’t find any. So my wife took the gathering of a 12 place set as her goal and began looking. Initially, she bought

a few pieces on Ebay. Then she decided we had to travel to complete this set.

Over a couple of years, we traveled to many of the antique and collectible stores in Western Canada. We also visited major U.S. antique spots including Cashmere, WA and Kalispell, MT. Recently, we spent part of our vacation in Ontario hunting for glassware in outof-the-way collectible shops in places such as Desoronto, Belleville, Port Hope, and Niagara-on-the-Lake.

It has become a bit of a joke between us as we plan our various trips throughout the year. I always set aside a week or two to travel to an area where we ramble from town to village and check out every possible antique shop. Some of these are outstanding to visit, and though we may buy nothing, we enjoy looking at the odds and ends they have acquired. Others are no better than glorified junk stores, replete with clutter and smells. Still, all the collectors I know would rather enter these shops in hopes of finding something than not.

In their minds, they believe the golden grail of whatever they’re seeking could be on an isolated shelf or a deserted back lot. And finding a rare or elusive piece is always an exciting event to a collector.

Sculpture Talk Welcome to our regular feature introducing the artists behind the sculptures in this year’s Castlegar SculptureWalk.

Dee Clements Eye the Wind (bronze)

Perennial favourite Dee Clements displays another of his inspiring sculptures this year and, as always, his work reveals the range of his sculpting talent.

Originally drawn to abstract work, he has moved to figurative sculpture over the years – what impresses is the scope of his subject matter. Previously, he displayed two pieces in the 2011 competition, both from his Americana series, Going For the

Goal and Passing It Along. Last year he showed us his comfort level sculpting animals rather than humans. End of Day was a lovely portrayal of a family of sand hill cranes settling in for the evening, the mother sheltering her brood protectively.

This year his entry is titled Eye the Wind. It is figurative and dynamic. Leaving the bottom of the bronze deliberately relatively abstract, a ripped, muscular windsurfer crests a wave with one hand hard on his sail. The board tilts dramatically upwards as he fights with the elements of wind and sea, his other hand dangling loose for balance. Muscles straining to remain upright, he points into the eye of the wind – a term of the sport that describes surfing headlong into the exact direction the wind is blowing from. Board at a precipitous angle, the wind surfer’s struggle are apparent but he is ecstatic too. It’s man versus the elements, and Clements captures the joy and challenges of the sport wonderfully. It was created as a private commission and appropriately sits surrounded by water.

Clements has explored various sporting themes in his sculpting

career. Many will remember his charming Going for the Goal which he displayed here in 2011.

A novice hockey player with oversized stick skates unrelentingly towards the goal in a game of shinny. That piece – in keeping with the relative style of his Americana body of work – was part of an eight piece commission of his skating sculpture collection that now resides in Paramount, California.

Eye the Wind is less folksy, more in keeping with Leap of Faith, which shows a ski jumper at the moment of touch down.

The downslope is all smoothness and angularity, the figure displays Clement’s exactness to detail while capturing the action inherent in the landing. This sculpture cantilevered out into the atrium from between two escalators at the Salt Lake City Olympic headquarters in 2001.

All of Clements’ work is full of fine detail. Whether it is an athlete like the wave rider in Eye of the Wind, a family enjoying the quietude of a park bench (Sunday Afternoon), a miner with his trusty mule (The Gold Panner) or a musician in tune with his instrument (The Cellist), he captures the moment, and their expressiveness, superbly.

“Since that first sculpture (after moving from abstraction to figurative) a main thread in my life has been to portray the content of a person,” he explains on his website. “[I aspire] to capture through the face and figure the spiritual essence of the individual.”

With the exciting Eye the Wind, Clements reconfirms his bronze mastery while displaying the SUPPORT SCULPTUREWALK breadth and depth of his range. It Purchase Got a favourite sculpture?

D. E. McDermott

Joy of Dance II (bronze)

Dan McDermott returns to Castlegar Sculpturewalk with another of his elegant, flowing figurines.

Or in this case, two figures making up one undeniably stunning sculpture.

The Virginia-based sculptor has received global accolades – to say nothing of placements and commissions – since he took up sculpting in 1986. Although largely self taught, he has been influenced through interactions with a couple of notable American sculptors. McDermott gained knowledge and technique from his personal contact with the great animal sculptor Anna Hyatt Huntington. Prominent among his formal studies was his work with the California sculptor and art teacher Richard Miller.

Those two, along with other influences - including several years

working from a studio in Spain were the basis for the development of McDermott’s distinctive fluid style, perfected over years of practice and adaptation. “I honed my style over the years, as every sculptor does,” he says. “In my work, I aim to create a sense of abstraction within the figurine framework. I use an oil-based clay for modelling, which allows me to re-work and change lines much better than a water-based clay does.

“What I try to achieve in every piece I create is an emotional connectivity with the viewer. I love long flowing lines and hope that in addition to an emotional response, the viewer appreciates the sculptural “lines” within the relative abstraction of the figure.”

He has succeeded spectacularly with Joy of Dance II. The two figures are positioned at slightly different angles, accentuating the different lines while recognizably similar in their poses. Both convey the joy and ecstasy of unfettered abandon. The duo dance en pointe,They are fluid and expressive, each with the familiar narrow torsos and slender limbs atop a golden-lined flared skirt/lower body. This is a trademark feature of McDermott’s sculptures; there is abstraction but overall cohesiveness, leaving little doubt of what the sculpture portrays.

The beauty of Joy of Dance II is McDermott’s skill in emoting within the relative abstraction of the sculpture. The subtle curves of the lines, the high raised feet and the outstretched arms convey the title splendidly. The two figures project a shared rhythm and pleasure.

Lease All of the sculptures are available for lease, for between $1500www.deeclements.net $3000/year (beginning in May 2015). Move the sculpture to your place of business and capture the public’s attention!

Sponsor For $1000/year you can sponsor a sculpture and support our artists. Your name will be featured on the sculpture nameplate, our brochure, and our website.

McDermott uses high quality patinas once a piece is cast and then applies numerous coats of wax to give all his works their lustrous shine.

His last piece here, 2011’s Reflections, utilized the same flowing lines found in Joy of Dance II. That work was a favourite of the voting public as part of the People’s Choice aspect of Sculpturewalk Castlegar. McDermott is pleased to be showing again this year.

“While I haven’t been able to get to the show yet, I’ll make every effort to do so this year. It’s great that a small city can mount such a varied and exciting collection of sculptures on an annual basis.”

McDermott’s sister piece to this year’s entry – Joy of Dance – is on permanent display in Shinji, Japan. His eight foot high Dance of Life was commissioned as part of a major expansion of Central DuPage Hospital in Chicago where it is the centrepiece of a four story atrium. Other works are displayed throughout the United States and around the world. They attest to his talent and the appreciation his stylized, usually female, figures receive from individual collectors and institutions alike. Joy of Dance II is certain to receive that same appreciation here this year. www.demcdermott.com SPONSORED by

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Stop manufacturing controversy

Editor: I have resided in Castlegar since sept. of 2011, and I can honestly say I have never witnessed nor heard of ‘oppression’ against any minority or ‘special interest group’ since I moved here. This rainbow sidewalk issue CREATES division by creating an issue where there is none! Indeed, one has to ask why create a problem where there is no conflict..? This is divisive in nature. This newspaper and town council are doing the people here no service at all by trying to creat a social problem where one doesn’t exist.

Jill Beach, Castlegar

Proud to live in rainbow country

Editor: I have been following the discussion surrounding the welcoming and inclusive action made by the members of Castlegar City Council to create a rainbow crosswalk.

It makes me sad, in 2014 that there still exits so much hatred and ignorance that lead to discrimination based on racism and homophobia, but I am proud of those who stand up and defend equality, justice and human rights in the face of that hatred.

And then there are those

who state that no problem exists just because they have never seen examples of it and criticize council’s decision.

Just because I have never seen Antarctica does not mean it does not exist and just because I have not seen the shrinking of the polar icecaps, it does not mean that we will escape the negative impact of climate change.

For those who think that city council is creating a division where none exists, you are mistaken. What council did was make a statement of

affirmation; that all people in this community can expect their human rights to be respected.

The rainbow calls out to those who have felt the sting of ignorance because of who they are and who they love. It says clearly that in this community, they can expect equal treatment by the elected leaders and the administration they run.

Reminding you to Recycle!

Summer can present special problems for Castlegar's water system. During the summer season, daily residential water use can increase by as much as 200% primarily because of lawn and garden watering as well as car washing.

Our residential water is pumped from the Arrow Lakes to reservoirs, from which water is supplied to residents. Excessive sprinkling during summer months reduces the water contained in our reservoirs.

Even if the system has adequate supply, it may not be able to pump the water fast enough during this peak demand period to maintain storage for firefighting purposes.

Castlegar is attempting to stop the increase in water usage by restricting use during the summer months.

This year citizens are being asked to sprinkle on odd or even days, according to their residential address. Watering will be permitted from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. each day.

Residents who use a water regulating system (e.g. timers and underground sprinkler system with timers) shall be exempted from the regulations, providing they do their outdoor watering between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. on an alternating day basis. The reasoning behind this exemption is that timers and underground sprinkling systems allow the user to water during the coolest part of the day, hence less water is required and their sprinkling times should be shorter. Please advise City Hall at 365-7227 if you have a water regulating system.

A fine of $50.00 will be levied for non-compliance to the water regulations.

However, under special circumstances, an exemption permit can be obtained at City Hall, 460 Columbia Avenue during regular office hours. Reasons for exemption include the following: a new residential lawn, a means of controlling dust, watering within a construction or building project.

Embetsu or bust for 25th anniversary jim sinclair Castlegar News Editor

Castlegar’s venerable exchange arrangement with Embetsu, Japan may be tried and true, but the thrill of heading across the Pacific to represent their city is as intense as ever for a group of fresh ambassadors.

Representatives of the City of Castlegar and Selkirk College visited Embetsu in 1989 to sign a sister city agreement. Since then there have been continuing exchanges between the two cities. The Student Exchange Program has been a great success since 1998.

The eight youngsters who will make the trek next month took turns addressing city council on Monday night. Their comments were greatly enjoyed by council, staff and onlookers.

Andrew Voykin was the first of the group to speak, and after a Japanese lan-

guage introduction he thanked council for the opportunity to appear before it.

“I’m really excited to learn about the Japanese people, their culture, their technology and their food,” he stated. “My goal as an ambassador is to represent Castlegar and Canada the best I can, by being respectful and kind

to everyone I meet.”

Gemma Van Doesburg told the assembly it’s an honour to be among the ambassadors for the upcoming excursion.

“As the days go by I actually realize that this is happening.

Every day I become more excited and just a little bit more nervous. I’m

just overjoyed to be able to tour Japan, learn about their culture, develop many new friendships… and then being able to share my feelings with others.

As an ambassador of Castlegar, I can show what Castlegar has to offer our friends overseas. Most of all I want to represent the kind, friendly people of Castlegar, by being my best-behaved self.”

The other travellers to speak were: A.J.Roberts, Chloe Ahlefeld, Christina Maida-Cook, April Gariepy, Alexia Kardash and Andrea Smithies.

Mayor Chernoff, himself a veteran of more than one Japanese visit, vouched for the value of the experience, and assured the youngsters they would not forget the journey.

He thanked them on behalf of the city, and wished the best on their upcoming adventure.

Jail & Bail coming up On Monday night, in front of his peers and council, Fire Chief Gerry Rempel succumbed to the long arm of the law. Sergeant Laurel Mathew brought forth an urgent matter of ‘uttering threats’

(all in the name of charity).

“It’s alleged the Fire Chief has threatened that he may retire in the near future,” the sergeant stated.

The police take these kinds of ‘threats’ seriously. He was re-

leased with a promise to appear at Boston Pizza on Monday June 23.

C o i n c i d e n t a l l y, Cops for Kids and Boston Pizza Castlegar will host their first annual Jail & Bail fundraiser on June 23. Suspects will be arrested by off-duty police officers and taken to Boston Pizza where they’ll be tried by the presiding judge and face some time behind bars to fundraise their bail.

Money raised from this event will help Cops for Kids fund much needed medical equipment, therapy, learning and mobility aids for local children.

“I’m proud to be a part of Cops for Kids as a rider and local RCMP member,” said Cst. Rob Gardner.

Cops for Kids are grateful for the generosity shown by our community.

Ten lovely and talented young ladies wowed the full house at the Miss Castlegar Pageant last Friday evening.

Sophie summed up her feelings by stating, “I feel in shock, like it is not real at all.”

When asked about her favorite part of the Miss Castlegar process, Sophie answered without hesitation, “Being able to bond with all these girls, there are ten gorgeous girls up there it and it was amazing to spend all this time with them.”

Princess Alexanderia expressed similar sentiments, “I’m super excited. The best part was getting to spend time with the ten other girls and getting to become friends with them.”

Introducing our new advice columnist

The Glory of Fatherhood

“Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.” – Proverbs 17:6 God’s design from the beginning for the blessing and provision of man, is the family.

That is why it is so sad that the devil has effectively undermined the family in our society today. Frankly, I am amazed that more people are not alarmed by the obvious correlation between the decline of traditional families and the increase of a dysfunctional society. Instead, society seems to go out of its way to encourage that which challenges the home.

As we see from the verse above, God meant for children and grandchildren to be the rewarding crown of old men. As families become more fragmented, however, old men today tend to take more pride in their achievements on the job, or in material things such as cars, houses, gardens, fishing boats or in hobbies rather than in their children. To be honest, many fathers see disappointment and frustration or just have a hard time understanding their children and perhaps even more the grandchildren. Perhaps it is because they put more of their life in their job or their hobby than they did in their child?

It is not my intention for this to be a negative essay but I feel the need to remind us as fathers that investing in the lives of your children, grandchildren and in your family as a whole is infinitely wiser than devoting your energies in things that will disintegrate soon after you’re gone. Dad, your greatest legacy and the most lasting contribution you can make to this world is your children! The Apostle John wrote, “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.” Children learn first and foremost from our example. You must be committed to walking in the truth of God if you hope to have the joy of seeing your child live consistent with God’s truth.

Notice also the end of the verse, “the glory of children are their fathers”. If you are a father (MJHP TZY \JJPQ^ Ć^JWX with children still in the home, let me remind

Gardens growing gloriously staff writer Castlegar News

Garden lovers: set aside June 22 for the Castlegar and Area Garden Tour. Other discretionary appointments can have another date as you take in the fruits of area green-thumbs’ labors of love.

An example of one stop on the 2013 garden tour.

SUNDAY, JUNE 22, 2014

13th anniversary of the tour arranged by the Castlegar Garden Club, and the theme is ‘Gardening Beyond Borders.’ The tour, as the club puts it, “celebrates the diversity of gardens and gardeners with a dazzling blend of horticultural joy. Anyone can garden and everywhere is a potential gardening site. All that’s needed is a passion for gardening.”

The passion ought to be easily transferrable as tour-takers take in the work completed at locations including: Castle Wood Village, Dawn’s Early Rising Sunshine Café, and Windborne B & B, proving that gardening is not limited to a residential front and/or back yard.

Tailor your itinerary to get you to Zibin’s Ootischenia oasis between 10 and noon and you’ll enjoy the Wind River Flute Quartet. See artists at work at Windborne B & B in Robson. Discover the plant lover’s courtyard and new art gallery at Dawn’s

Early Rising Sunshine Café.

Innovation and the magic that’s sparked by serendipity highlight this year’s Garden Tour. As you meander down the garden path, let your imagination run wild . . . inspire, engage, flourish. Images will linger long after the Garden Tour is over.

For pure pleasure and a fresh perspective on the magic of art and gardens savour the wonderfully original and richly imaginative sculptures in this year’s Castlegar Sculpture Walk. It is sure to capture the hearts of both gardeners and art lovers. Sculptures grace the entrance to Castle Wood Village; across Columbia Avenue; City Hall abounds with a multitude of sculptures and ornamental grasses.

Teachers vote Continued from P. A1

“I’m just waiting for more information on this, but we’re starting to understand that the government’s motivation is not so much to get a deal with us, but to make the lawsuit go away.”

Davidoff refers to a legal action launched against the government by teachers over issues including class sizes.

A court had ruled back in January, awarding $2 million plus costs as part of a judgment in favour of the BCTF. The government has since appealed that judgement. But a far greater amount, yet to be determined, could yet be awarded to the teachers.

Davidoff says the two sides are only “inches apart” on the issue of salary.

Old Grizzly, now a Saint

The Selkirk College Men’s Hockey program is pleased to announce a playing commitment from forward Tyler Kerner (Taber, AB) to attend Selkirk College and compete for the Saints beginning in the 2014/15 B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League season.

Kerner is a 5-foot-11, 205 pound winger who spent the last three seasons in the Alberta Junior Hockey League playing with the Lloydminster Bobcats, Drumheller Dragons and Olds Grizzlys. He split the 2013/14 campaign between Drumheller and Olds, where he scored once while adding nine assists and 85 penalty minutes in 36 regular season and playoff games. Over the course of his Junior A career, Kerner scored nine goals and totaled 32 points and 255 penalty minutes in 112 AJHL games.

“Tyler is a hard-working, physical winger who plays the game with lots of energy and competes hard,” says Saints head coach Jeff Dubois. “He really fits the profile of the type of player we were looking to add to what is shaping up as a very skilled group. We see Tyler being a guy who sets a physical tone for us and who makes himself and his line difficult to play against, particularly versus top players on other teams.”

Kerner plans to enter Selkirk’s Business Administration program.

“I’m very excited to start my post-secondary career with the Saints and join a winning organization,” says Kerner, who describes himself as playing a physical, simple, role game while taking pride in taking care of his own zone

first. “I think of myself as a leader who is willing to do whatever it takes to win. I work very well beneath the crease protecting the puck while trying to find players to set up in the offensive zone.”

“I’m looking forward to moving to the community of Castlegar, as it reminds me of the town I was raised in. The small classes are also a huge benefit, knowing that there will be more attention to help me get the most out of my schooling. My academic goal this year will be to achieve a GPA of 3.5 or higher. On the ice, I want to develop my game while helping my team capture a third straight BCIHL championship.”

Olds Grizzlys head coach Brett Hopfe expects Kerner to be a key energy forward for the Saints.

“Tyler is a tremendous player who buys into every role he is put into,” Hopfe explains. “He was a late pick-up for us this season and he instantly made an impact both on and off the ice. Tyler is a true leader and we’re very excited that he will have an opportunity to continue his career at the college level.”

Kerner is the Saints’ ninth commitment for the 2014/15 season, joining forwards Ryan Edwards (Beaver Valley, KIJHL), Jamie Vlanich (Nelson Leafs, KIJHL), Alex Milligan (Peninsula Panthers, VIJHL), Matt Martin (Ontario Avalanche, WSHL) and Connor Beauchemin (Castlegar Rebels, KIJHL), as well as defencemen Curtis Toneff (Campbell River Storm, VIJHL) and Danny Vlanich (Surrey Eagles, BCHL), and goaltender Steven Glass (Nipawin Hawks, SJHL).

Welychko. With this being the first swim meet and having only been training for four weeks, both Welychko and Yang could tell everyone was putting in a lot of hard work. “With this many best times being achieved with so little training, it is awesome to see. We can tell each swimmer is determined at practice and ready to work. This translates to fast swims at meets.

We cannot wait to see where everyone will be further into the season,” said Yang.

The Aquanauts will be traveling to Grand Forks for the second meet of the season on June 7. Both Welychko and Yang are expecting many more great swims and best times to be achieved at this meet.

Corbin was a huge leader at the meet. He not only swam best times and got prepared for his own races, but he also helped others get excited for theirs. “Nick and I are very proud that he took initiative and set a great example for our swimmers,” said Yang.

In subsequent action this past weekend, a total of 20 Aquanauts competed in their second competitive swimming meet of the season, the Grand Forks Piranhas Invitational.

This event is considered a “B” TIME swim meet – swimmers who have not yet met a certain time standard are only allowed to compete.

Head coach Nick Welychko and assistant coach Michaella Yang were very pleased with everyone’s performance. “Almost all of our swimmers achieved new best times in the four events. This is a great feeling from a coach’s perspective because it means all of the swimmers’ hard work is already paying off for them,” said Welychko.

Lost & Found

Drivers/Courier/ Trucking

Leo was born in Nelson on November 12, 1953 to parents Helen and Harry Hoodicoff. He worked for CP Rail for 20 years. During his working life he had a business making cedar shakes, learned to be a mechanic and held numerous other jobs. Leo enjoyed hiking, fishing, snowmobiling, camping and making excursions to the Valhallas. Unfortunately he contracted a debilitating illness that took everything away from him.

He was predeceased by his parents Helen and Harry.

Left to mourn his loss are his sons Chris and Sean Hoodicoff.

Cremation has taken place in care of Castlegar Funeral Chapel.

For Funeral Service details, please contact Chris (250 304-9276) or Sean (250 304-3804).

The family will always miss all the get togethers in Krestova and the ping-pong tournaments that led to all night jam sessions. Let’s remember Leo before his MS got to him, when he was healthy and strong, the tough man that he was. A great father and a guy who would give his shirt right off his back in order to help someone out.

“Love ya dad, we’ll miss ya, you are in a much better place now.”

Joshua Evin

April 15, 1981- June 13, 2010 Grieve not for me Nor mourn the while, For Happier would I be to see you smile.

Let no tears fall since I have passed away.

But miss me and remember me Each and every day.

Live your lives As I would want you to And treat thy fellowman As I would do.

And when the time has come Your lives be through I shall be Waiting here For each of you.....

“I take with me; all your love And leave with you; all my love;” We will carry you in our hearts forever We “Love” You Josh Lorne & Lillian Evin Christina Amelio

She was born March 26, 1933 in Fort Langley, BC to parents Gertrude and John Welford, weighing 3.3 lbs. at birth and kept warm in her parent’s oven. She was so tiny at birth that her fist could fit through her mother’s wedding ring.

They started their married life in White Rock BC, where they had 4 children, Denice, Theresa (Terry), Shane and Laird (deceased). Later they moved to Ocean Park, BC. She enjoyed her interests of camping, travel, cooking and a wide circle of friends and family.

In her later years, while living in Christina Lake, BC she developed a loving friendship with Emerson and they enjoyed camping and travelling throughout BC until he passed away.

She then moved to Castlegar to live with her daughters Terry and Sue (adopted).

In her last years she travelled extensively on many trips with her family and friends. When not travelling, she enjoyed her 5 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren and 1 highly anticipated great-great grandchild.

Marguerite Marie (LeBlanc) Webster

She passed away at Talarico Place Care Centre in Castlegar, where she received great respect and care from the staff.

June 7,1929 – June 8, 2014

In Memory Of:

Kelly Elias January 3, 1962 May 28, 2014 It is with heavy hearts that the family of Kelly Elias announce his passing on May 28, 2014. Kelly passed away after a lengthy battle of cancer, at the Hospice House, in Kelowna, B.C. with his Dad at his side. He was 52 years old.

Kelly was born on January 3, 1962, in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, to parents Isabel and Jack Elias. After graduation, Kelly attended the Okanagan College and earned his Red Seal in Carpentry. In 1991, he married Kathleen (nee Sexsmith) and they were blessed with two boys, Colin (13 yrs) & Sean (10 yrs).

Kelly worked for various construction companies, including Crossroads Construction, Western Industrial Contractors Ltd., and finally IDL Projects, all of Prince George. Kelly & Kathleen came to Castlegar in summer of 1990 with Western Industrial Contractors Ltd. for the Celgar mill expansion. After many years as Foreman and Superintendent, Kelly advanced to eventually become a Regional Manager for Western Industrial Contractors Ltd & finally IDL Projects. Although he always worked for a Prince George company, he loved the Kootenays and never had any desire to make his home anywhere else.

Kelly loved boating, fishing, camping, golfing, and motorcycling. Kelly was proud of building his last family home in Ootischenia on the Little Bear Golf course. He put a gate in the back yard so he could golf the Par 3 with his 2 boys, who now also love golf.

Kelly & his family travelled many times to Mexico, Hawaii, as well as Portugal. He loved to be with family and friends and will always be remember for being very hospitable.

Left to mourn his loss is his separated-wife Kathleen; sons Colin and Sean of Castlegar; parents Jack and Isabel Elias of Kelowna; brother Roger (Liz) of Lac La Hache; plus numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and a large extended family and friends.

We would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Shepard and the nurses & counsellors at the Hospice House in Kelowna. It’s a beautiful setting and it gives people dignity during their last days. We’ll be forever grateful for the care that Kelly received there.

A Celebration of Kelly’s Life will be held at the Castlegar Golf Club, June 16, 2014 at 11:30am.

Marguerite was born in Drummondville, Québec. The family moved to New Brunswick where she grew up. She took nurse’s training and became an RN. Marg worked in Goose Bay, Labrador and then became a stewardess for TransCanada Airlines. She married Stewart Wright Webster on October 13, 1956. They lived in Québec, California, and BC. She is survived by her husband, her son Gordon (Ruth), daughter Vicki, grandsons Brennan and Matthew, brother Herman (Doris) sister Marie Anne (Harvey) Breau, and brother Leonard. She was an avid hiker, skier and loved the mountains.

Funeral at 10:30 Thursday, June 12 at St. Rita’s in Castlegar.

Subaru has a longer Legacy than most know…

Question of the Week

A modern infotainment system, an unclutered the wallflower of the midsize sedan pack. tered cabin, and soft seats make a day’s drive quite narrow, even in the ultra low traction environment.

For the times when it wasn’t pouring cats and dogs, Chrysler 200 and Mazda6 constantly battle it out for While the Legacy might not be at the forefront of taking the twisty turns was quite a lot of fun. Despite their share of the limelight. All while this consumers’ minds, Subaru is a renowned brand. And it’s its electric power steering – a steering humble four-door sits on the sideline. renowned for its reliability and safety. This generation of type that can be done either really well In fact, some people don’t even know it’s product should be any different. On some models, you or not at all – there’s a good weight to it. in the game!

by Alexandra Straub For those not familiar with the Legacy, The 2015 Subaru Legacy, with the manual transmission suddenly jump aggressively. Think of it here are a few key points: Subaru’s Symmetrical full-time All-Wheel Drive starts at like Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The It’s now in its sixth generation – yes, sixth – and has impressive MSRP of $23,495. Shoot all the way to the steering isn’t too hard, or too soft. It’s just right. been around since 1989. It is 25 years young and looks top, and you’ll get the 3.6 Limited trim with TechnolAs for the ride and handling, the imperfections of nice for its age. ogy Package Option for $35,395. Of course, there are the road aren’t met with abrasion or hesitance. The The 2015 model comes with the option of two engines: offerings in between. undulating country roads were a great testing ground, a 2.5L, 4-cylinder (175 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of As for its wallflower status, I think it has the goods and especially with all the debris. But even with a fair share torque) and a 3.6L, 6-cylinder (256 horsepower and 247 confidence to play ball with the rest of the pack. of highway cruising, I have no qualms with the setup. lb-ft of torque.)

Inside the cabin, you’ll be welcomed by Japanese Contact alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca What’s great about the 4-cylinder, Subaru offers it with a 6-speed manual. Our friends to the south don’t have access to such awesomeness. But on the flip side, it’s only available on the base model.

Aside from the 6-speed manual, Subaru offers their version of a Continuously Variable Transmission, aka the Lineartronic CVT. While some might not be a fan of this type of transmission, don’t knock it until you try it. Subaru does an excellent job with the gear simulations and I didn’t feel the drone of the system under hard acceleration, even with the 4-cylinder. While I’d pick a manual any day, the CVT is darn good.

So is the Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system, a standard feature on all Legacy trims.

It came in handy in the backcountry roads of rural Indiana. Freak thunderstorm with torrential downpour where you can’t see two metres in front of you? No problem!

Safety Tip: This early summer weather means more cyclists on the road, so as a driver shoulder checking is very important – especially when making right hand turns at intersections, before pulling away from a curb and before you open your vehicle door.
