Grievances heat up in teachers’ strike JIM SINCLAIR Castlegar News Editor

Andy Davidoff, president of the Kootenay Columbia Teachers’ Union says actions by the board of School District No. 20 have hit his membership hard in the early days of current job action by the BC Teachers’ Federation.

“Morale is terrible,” said Da-

vidoff on Wednesday morning, the second day of full strike action by teachers.

“We had a couple of things happen that our board did that did not happen in other districts. One - they took our keys away last Friday and and that was extremely demoralizing.”

Davidoff said there are teachers in the district who have 30 and

more years experience who had never before been asked to turn over their keys, “for any reason.”

Another concern expressed

by Davidoff is that of pay cuts to teachers, with no advance notice.

“In anticipation of job action they deducted two weeks of pay,” he said. “Some teachers received zero pay. We had no notice of this. Not every board in the prov-

ince did this… our board did.”

Davidoff ’s third point made on June 18 relates to what he said was a threat from the SD 20 board to “hire external applicants for over 20 temporary teaching positions. Our contract did not have any language preventing that.”

BE WATER WISE THIS SUMMER! SPRINKLING REGULATIONS 2014

FOR RESIDENTS OF CASTLEGAR, BLUEBERRY AND LUCAS ROAD

EFFECTIVE JUNE 15 TO SEPTEMBER 15, 2014 SPRINKLING AND CAR WASHING IS PERMITTED BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 5:00 A.M. TO 11:00 A.M. AND 5:00 P.M. TO 11:00 P.M. Water Sprinkling is Restricted to Every Second Day (a) Residents at “odd number” addresses water on “odd number” calendar days; and (b) Residents at “even number” addresses water on “even number” calendar days.

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.

Gratitude doesn’t get more sincere

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.

Undying gratitude for a brave and compassionate act was expressed lately by a Glade couple. Alex and Lorna Sherstobitoff formally and publicly furthered their thanks to Chris O’Gorman for saving Alex’s life on June 10. http://www.castlegarnews.com/ news/262615611.html “Chris is a very brave man,” states the brief notice brought in on June 12. “All he had was a canoe and a piece of driftwood to paddle with, but he rescued me from drowning.

“We also thank the RCMP and Search and Rescue for jobs well done,” the notice concludes. “Again, thank you very much, Chris.”

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.

Seniors’ town hall meeting this Friday jim sinclair Castlegar News Editor

Other issues will no doubt be raised, but a number of hot ones are ready for BC’s new seniors’ advocate when she arrives for a town-hall style meeting in Castlegar this Friday.

Isobel Mackenzie was named as Canada’s first ‘Seniors Advocate’ back in March and the tour which includes the Castlegar stop is among her first series of official duties.

She’ll hear some well-prepared points of concern from local seniors during the session at the Community Complex, among them: changes in drivers license renewal criteria.

The Office of the Seniors Advocate – as outlined in the government press release making the official announcement of Mackenzie’s appointment – “will monitor seniors’ services, promote awareness and work collaboratively with seniors, families, policymakers, service providers and others to identify solutions to systemic issues and make recommendations to government on ways to improve care for our aging population.”

Longtime local seniors advocate Sandy McCreight is among the many who will watch with interest what comes of the June 20 information exchange, although she was not involved in arranging the public event.

She recalled being among those contributing to the process of creating the advocate’s position.

“We added our input to decide what they should and shouldn’t do, and what that office should look like,” stated McCreight in deferring further questions to the local seniors association closely involved. Mac Gregory heads the group and was keen on hosting the town hall as soon as he heard about the possibility.

“I don’t know what the process was but they selected a

Senior’s Advocate Isobel Mackenzie Govt. of BC

number of sights around the province,” he related on June 16. “I got a call asking if we’d host one of the meetings… I jumped at the chance.”

Gregory and his associates then sent invitations to all the regional seniors’ groups as well as the MLA’s office.

“Hopefully we’ll get a great turnout,” he said.

Gregory outlined some of the major concerns he expects to be brought up with the advocate.

“A main issue for us locally that would relate to the provincial government is the non-renewal of the health accord and the effects that could possibly have on seniors,” said Gregory.

“And, although it’s federal, we’re really upset with the upcoming cutbacks to postal service.

“They’ll put a lot of seniors out on the streets in the winter, even if they are handicapped.”

It’s the hope of Gregory and his contemporaries that Isobel Mackenzie may be able to relay some of those postal concerns through the appropriate federal channels.

Among the most pressing of seniors’ issues is the one that comes up when a driver’s licence is up for renewal.

“When a person reaches the age of 80 a doctor can refer them for a cognitive ability test,” explained Gregory. “In the mind of many of us the test doesn’t have much to do with driving.” Gregory concedes that it can spot cognitive disabilities, but asserts it also “leaves a lot of leeway for doctors.” He added that some folks he knows were given the test while hospitalized for other reasons… not exactly at their best for taking a test that many consider rather intimidating in the first place.

Local seniors may find an empathetic ear with the new advocate who brings 18 years of related experience to her new post.

“I am honoured to accept this important position,” Mackenzie is quoted from the official press release and introduction this past March, “and look forward to applying my experience as I set priorities and establish my mandate in the coming weeks and months.”

The town hall meeting gets underway this Friday, 10 a.m. at the Castlegar Community Complex.

Mobile vendors a part of the landscape JIM SINCLAIR Castlegar News Editor

To revisit an issue that was making local news about a year ago, what follows is an update on the topic of mobile vendors in Castlegar.

There’s no argument that consumers vote with their appetites, and the public is likely to favour an increase in dining options. That being allowed for, the welcome acceptance of the enterprises is not universal.

Last year the matter generated attention as some operators of established restaurants expressed opposition to their mobile competitors, citing a different set of regulations giving preferential conditions for the movable outfits.

City hall took the matter to heart. After a good deal of discussion and the receipt of public and business input, the ground rules were adjusted somewhat.

Councillor Dan Rye answered questions on the matter with the benefit of some hindsight.

“We changed the bylaw,” stated Rye in early June.

“There are new rates for them (mobile vendors) to pay and there’s a few other stipulations that are in there.

“Mobile vendors used to only have to pay $100 for a licence for the year,” he continued. “Now they have to pay $250.”

There are, as of mid-June, three such vendors: Twisted Thyme near the crest of Sherbico Hill on Columbia Avenue; The Taco Truck, which sets up shop alongside Columbia Avenue near 6th St., and Fresh Tracks, which will apparently operate in various West Kootenay locations including the Sandman Hotel parking lot.

Rossland native Kim Zanussi is happily into her sophomore season at Twisted Thyme.

“It’s been great,” she described on June 17. “We’ve had a lot of happy return customers from last season and a lot of new people coming by.

The location’s great, easy to pull in and out of.

“We live in Castlegar and have found it to be an amazing community.”

Hartmut Kaden of the Chameleon Restaurant - 330 Columbia, weighed in with a view from a different vantage point.

“They (mobile vendors) may be an addition for the people who like the fast food take-out, but on the other hand they are competition with existing restaurants,” he said when asked by the Castlegar News.

“We find it a little more difficult with more fast food vendors,” said Kaden on June 17 adding that he feels the established, brick and mortar

eateries make a stronger commitment to supporting the community, what with property taxes and year-round service.”

Going back to the matter which came to a head last year, such that city council felt compelled to legislate it, a limit has been installed to control the number of mobile vendors in the city. Councillor Rye explained that the number of mobile vendors may only be 20 per cent of the number of established restaurants.

“Right now we basically have, say, 30 restaurants in town,” he illustrated. “So we can only have six mobile vendors.”

Editor: Jim Sinclair Unit 2 - 1810 8th Avenue, Castlegar, B.C. V1N 2Y4 Publication Mail Agreement Number 40012905

An issue that unites us all This newspaper rightly focuses on local issues – there is really nothing else it could effectively do and nothing readers would likely want it to. We can take advantage of the large company we’re part of for a good deal of the material we publish, but when it comes down to it a local community paper has it’s own area to concentrate on, especially in this space on page A6.

The front page photo this week provides a local link to an event from the other side of the country. The shooting deaths of three RCMP members in Moncton, NB shocked and saddened the nation, prompting demonstrations of sympathy and solidarity in numerous communties across Canada, including Castlegar. The emotional outpouring was proof of how highly-regarded our police are in times of tragedy such as the Moncton episode.

The grief was just as acute following the killing of four RCMP members in the town of Mayerthorpe, AB several years back.

What these incidents should also spark is a heightened appreciation of the commitment made by the men and women who sign up to serve and protect the rest of us.

There are, unfortunately, no guarantees of safety in any walk of life, but those who choose law enforcement clearly have a high risk they face everytime they start a shift.

Each suspicious person they deal with, each crime-related call they respond to could be an invitation to serious injury, or worse.

Police and other public servants by the thousands paid tribute to the three RCMP members back east. The rest of us, each in our own way, can do the same the next time, (and preferably before) we have a reason to call upon the police for help.

We want to hear from you.

Off the Line - Karen Haviland

What’s the price of life?

Stop this world. I want to get off. Seriously!

I don’t even know where to begin; the thoughts are rolling around in my brain like marbles. While not naïve, I have always had a bright, although practical outlook towards life, our world, and the people who inhabit it.

It’s my belief while it might be raining there is always a rainbow to look for after the storm. Puppies, kittens and children never fail to make me smile.

My glass is half full, never half empty and I believe in the outright kindness of humanity.

It’s hard, however, to hang on to that Pollyanna-like thinking right now. Today, as I write this column, Moncton and the RCMP are putting to rest their three comrades who were coldheartedly shot dead while in the line of duty.

Three men. Shot dead. Three men, who but for the whim of a gunman, should be living and breathing.

Constables Fabrice Georges Gevaudan, David Ross and Douglas James Larche won’t be going home to their families tonight. Shortly thereafter, across the border, two Las Vegas police officers, Igor Soldo and Alyn Beck were heartlessly murdered while eating their lunch in a pizzeria.

Is there a war on police?

Theresa Hodge Office Manager

Christine Esovoloff Sales Associate

Selina Birk Creative Support

Not likely. I believe there is a war on humanity in general.

Earlier this week and closer to home, 75-year-old Thomas Feeney, of Rossland, was brutally murdered in his home after which the culprit(s) helped himself to Mr. Feeney’s belongings.

What is the price of a life nowadays? Is it worth a TV and a few other items?

Apparently so to the perpetrator(s).

This morning, as I do every morning, I was scanning the online newspapers.

I have a bit of a trap line of sorts. I start the day with our local online newspapers and then fan out to the Vancouver Sun, the Province, Global News, and CNN. It’s my routine and how I try to keep connected to this world in which we live.

Knowing it was the day for the funeral for the Moncton constables, my heart was heavy with pain for their families and friends, and yes, I will admit to a simmering anger at all of the senseless loss of life at the hands of others. Thus, when I read about the Kamloops man who stabbed his common-law spouse in the heart after they both consumed copious amounts of Listerine, that anger fanned to a full blown rage; especially when I read that the cost of his spouse’s life was a sentence of four years and five months, less time served.

Now, as I sit at the computer, I can hear the television. Guess what? Yup, that’s right. There have been two separate shootings in Vancouver and two people are dead after a school shooting in Oregon.

I was raised at a time when no one locked their doors. We freely walked about at night and we opened our doors to knocks without looking first. There were no school drills enforcing proper behaviour should a gunman walk into the school.

What is going on with this world in which life has no or little value?

Is the ultimate answer to our grievances ruthless murder?

I pity the children who are growing up in an atmosphere of fear and a culture in which such grievances and hurts demand that life is brutally taken without thought or shame. School used to be a place of comfort and safety and now it has become an armed camp, complete with onsite police to help preserve the illusion of that comfort and safety.

Our children deserve better than that. We all do.

Do I know the answer to this carnage? No, and it’s likely I never will, but that doesn’t stop my heart from breaking.

BORDERLINE TRANSMISSION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Successful school experience – all about connections Editor, School learning is about the connections between kids getting together and teaching each other.

When a teacher asks a question all kids have their own different answer to tell.

I’ve been learning at Kinnaird Elementary for seven

years, and I’ve had the most extraordinary time journey.

I’ve learned how to make friends, how to listen, how to be patient and be someone who is ready to make good decisions – not just for me, but for my friends and family, too.

Of course I’ve learned subjects of all kinds, but school is

meant to help us face our fears and not run away from them..

My school family has given me a gift and that gift is learning... how to grow and be a respectful human being.

Cassandra Connell, Grade 6, Castlegar

News Garbage banquet keeps bears in town duce smells that may attract bears; • take birdfeeders down until the end of bear season; • feed all pets indoors and store all pet food and dishes securely inside.

staff writer Castlegar News

A sharp increase in bear activity has been noticed in and around Castlegar in recent weeks according to WildSafe BC Coordinator Jenny Wallace. A central component in the spike, as usual, is garbage.

“Garbage left accessible to bears is not only unsightly,” says Wallace in a recent press release, “it is ultimately dangerous to both bears and people. Bears that become used to this unnatural food source can become a serious public safety concern, and as a result are often destroyed.

Wallace, with the help of volunteers, has conducted curbside garbage inspections.

They’ve found a lot of people are jumping the gun, putting out the garbage the night before pick-up, “often storing garbage in open carports during the week.” Neighbours are put at risk as bears are attracted into residential areas.

Along with people being endangered, the so-called ‘problem bears’ typically end up dead. Garbage strewn all over the place is a messy, smelly side effect.

According to Jenny Wallace, “there has been considerable bear activity in town so far this season and unfortunately these animals are finding unnatural food from one end of town to the other.

“Typically, bears will move back up to higher eleva-

NTURE E V

Two hours worth of musical thrills Castlegar News Editor

Whether a concert-goer happened to remember the ten-year run of the Don Messer’s Jubilee TV show or not, chances are they would have lapped up every bow stroke, drum beat, dance step and family friendly joke delivered by the Scott Woods Band Monday night at the Castlegar Complex.

True to their advance billing, the super-tight five piece outfit (multi-championship-winning fiddler Scott Woods, vocalist/guitarist Tommy Leadbeater, Scott’s mom – pianist Carolyn Woods, bassist/guitarist Bruce Timmins and drummer/fiddler/step dancer Kyle Waymouth) put on the sort of polished show that only 56 warm-up efforts can enable.

That’s how many performanc-

es they’ve got under their belts leading up to the Castlegar date on the current cross Canada tour. As respectable as their talent and work ethic, is their unflagging professionalism. The group instantly connected with its appreciative audience and never let up.

With a surplus of smiles and good humour they expertly backed the group’s namesake and his jaw-dropping fiddle technique.

The theme of the show was a tribute to entertainment legend Don Messer, whose Jubilee ruled the Canadian TV waves from 1959 to 1969. The tribute is loving and accurate with a load of historical information on the band members and guests who helped make the show popular enough to get better ratings than Hockey Night in Canada in one season.

Tommy Leadbeater does

an excellent job in honouring the cast member Charlie Chamberlain. Bruce Timmins saluted Messer guitarist Cecil McEachern with a hot instrumental called the Guitar Breakdown Boogie. Kyle Waymouth, just 19, dazzled the turnout of about 120 on the drums, fiddle and with his championship step-dancing form.

It’s great to see and hear such high-end talent working so hard to preserve such a well-loved part of our national culture.

The Scott Woods band averages 150 shows a year. They had come from Grand Forks and were on the way to High River AB as they made their way back east.

It’s hard to imagine a more completely entertaining two hours, and the sound quality in the complex’s banquet room was excellent.

I sympathize with your messy situation. There is a reason that the old adage “good fences make good neighbours” has stuck around for so many years. Getting along with one’s neighbours (real or fictional) has been a recurring theme throughout history whether it be Hatfields and Mccoys, Capulets and Montagues or England and France.

While retribution, or at least fantasizing about relocating the dog’s deposits on your neighbour’s car may at first seem like a satisfying answer; it will not likely solve your problem, and will most likely stir up new ones. After complimenting the dog and reassuring the neighbour that you like Fido, I would suggest calmly and politely trying again to plead with your neighbour to make sure his dog does his business on his own lawn. A gentle reminder of the city’s by-laws concerning leashes and animal waste may also be in order.

If those tactics fail, you will need to consider how far you want to take the situation and if you are ready for further conflict. A call to animal control complaining about the dog being off leash may do the trick. Unfortunately, judging from your neighbour’s previous behaviour, this may not work and you may need to invest in that good fence.

Compelling attractions on display at Kootenay Gallery

An exhibition titled: “Memento Mori: Remember you must die” opens June 20 at the Kootenay Gallery.

This series of paintings by Ymir-based artist Rachel Yoder explores her personal fears about death, and allows viewers to contemplate their own feelings about this often uncomfortable subject. This thoughtful exhibition was supported by a Major Project Grant from the Columbia Basin Trust/ Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance.

The Kootenay Gallery also thanks the Kootenay Savings Credit Union for sponsoring this exhibition.

The opening reception for these two exhibitions will be held on Friday, June 20 at 7 p.m. with all artists present. The exhibits will run until August 2.

The Kootenay Gallery, located across from the Castlegar Airport adjacent to the Doukhobor Discovery Centre, is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Annual Castlegar ArtWalk gets set for gala kick-off event my library career and return to visual art full-time.

Thus far, my work has been in the medium of photography. I have self-published three book collections and recently received invitations to collaborate on other book projects. My work has been exhibited in regional coffee houses around the Kootenays, and was featured in the Castlegar Art Walk 2013 series, resulting in my photographs of honey bees being featured in ARTiculate Magazine’s Fall 2013 issue.

Artist Statement As a photographer with a background in painting, I have a particular interest in the abstract patterns of nature. I gravitate towards close-ups, filling the entire frame with an explosion of texture and colour. This painterly approach is evident in my latest series of trees.

APRIL CUFFY ArtWalk Editor

The Castlegar Art Walk Opening Celebration will be held on June 25 (7:00 pm – 8:30 pm) at the Castlegar & District Community Complex, featuring a minishow, reception and entertainment. Admission is free and everyone is welcome to attend.

Castlegar Art Walk 2014 runs from June 23 to September 14, featuring more than 30 local and regional artists and artisans, displaying work at 26 venues around Castlegar. Maps for this self-guided art tour are available at the Castlegar Visitor Centre. For more information, please visit www.castlegarculture. com/culture-guide/castlegar-art-walk.

Organizers are busy putting the final touches in place, while singers and musicians are busy practicing for the Second Annual Pass Creek Gospel Music Festival set for Saturday, July 21.

The concert at the Pass Creek Exhibition Grounds will begin at 6 p.m.

Following last year’s event which drew more than 300 people, organizers have taken audience feedback to heart and extended the showtime by a half hour on each end.

Four local groups are scheduled with the possibility of a fifth to join the program.

The featured group this year is Three and Company, consisting of Dale and Diane Johnson from Edmonton and Brent Anderson from Leduc, Alberta. The group has won a CMA award and has four consecutive nominations for Southern Gospel Album of the Year to its credit, winning the covenant award in 2008.

With each member holding down a full-time job, Three and Company is currently in its 15th year performing throughout Western Canada.

A local connection is held

by Dale Johnson who is the nephew of former longtime

An assortment of singers and musicians took part in the first staging of the Pass Creek Gospel Music Festival held last year.

Castlegar resident Ira Johnson – pastor of the Kinnaird Church of God as well as a school bus driver.

The group’s songs are a contemporary Southern Gospel style with a good mix of old hymns with new arrangements.

The concession stand will be open for this year’s festival, run by the Pass Creek Exhibition Society, so please come early and support them. Don’t forget your lawn chairs as seating is limited, and bring a sweater or jacket as it cools off quickly after sundown.

In case of rain at the beautiful Pass Creek site the show will move to the New Life

Church across 7th Avenue from Stanley Humphries Secondary School. There is no admission charge but a freewill offering will be taken.

If you enjoy good music you don’t want to miss this event as our area has an abundance of very talented singers and musicians, many of whom will perform along with award-winning special guests.

All are welcome to this family-friendly occasion but please leave your pets at home.

Organizers are still looking for more volunteers. If interested please call John at 250365-7456, or email john491@ shaw.ca

Labour points, counterpoints Continued from P. A1

...sides remained apart, with no imminent breakthrough looking likely.

School District 20 Superintendent Greg Luterbach responded to the three points raised by Andy Davidoff later Wednesday morning.

1. Keys… and computers.

“Given the unknown length of the strike, the lack of maintenance and custodial staff, I felt we needed to manage access to the sites so I requested that keys be turned in,” stated Luterbach in an email, adding that SD 20 was not the only district to make the request.

“I did check with the union president, Andy Davidoff first

Having trouble hiring?

Pick the BEST! for your Business

and he did not express any concern before my request was sent out to all teachers.”

Luterbach denied asking for computers to be turned in, but said iPads were requested at one site, “...so we could try and get them upgraded over the summer if the labour dispute was not resolved prior to the summer break.”

2. Teachers’ pay cuts Teachers’ pay was adjusted based on the 10 per cent partial lockout, days of work missed due to rotating strike action and the anticipated full withdrawal of services effective June 16.

The issue is that given that teachers will miss a significant amount of days in June due to

the strike and the 10 per cent partial lockout on the days worked, it meant a much lower pay cheque for teachers for June.

3. Possible hiring of external applicants for 20 temporary positions

We approached the local president early last week to find a way to hold interviews offsite so potential teachers did not have to cross picket lines to attend interviews. We agreed to put things on hold until such time as we knew if the full-scale strike was going to happen. After repeated requests and offers by the district to hold interviews offsite, today the union agreed to such a process.

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

Denis Kleine

Talking Crows (bronze) The inaugural winner of the Peoples Choice award (the evocative Peace Sign) for the first Sculpturewalk is back again this year.

Nelson sculptor Denis Kleine presents another attractive work for our viewing pleasure.

In 2012 he displayed the clever, Marcel Duchamp paintinginspired Man in Motion. That piece is on loan to the City of Nelson as Sculpturewalk spreads itself beyond Castlegar and becomes more regional year round. It is fittingly displayed at the Nelson & District Community Centre and

there is a local initiative afoot to purchase it outright.

Talking Crows is stylistically different; truth be told it is a re-work of sorts. Kleine’s initial sculpture of an avian dialogue featured kestrels – the small, chirpy hawks - as the subject but he wasn’t happy with the end result and shelved it for some time. “It just didn’t seem to quite work,” he says. “Then I dusted the idea off and figured I’d re-do the sculpture using crows. They are highly intelligent birds, chatty and noisy too.”

He has hit pay dirt. Working in his favourite medium of bronze, Kleine’s Talking Crows is animated and vibrant. Sitting on a slender, gnarled, ancient smooth silverybronze branch, the two provide fine contrast while engaging in a conversation. One perches at the top of the branch above his compatriot, doing most of the talking.

The other rests on a solitary limb below, head cocked listening intently . The branch they inhabit rests on a beautiful oval stone base Kleine has fashioned from granite.

The pair are more realized than stylized, not figurative but with the flowing lines and style he brings to all his bronze sculptures. “I want

the viewer to wonder what they are saying to each other, to try to visualize the conversation based on their features and animation,” says Kleine.

With the exception of a stint in the Okanagan as one of the owners of Pyramid Bronzeworks in Kelowna, Kleine has been a resident of the Kootenays for many years. He graduated from David Thompson University Centre with a Bachelor of Fine Arts – “many, many years ago,” he says chuckling. Now he instructs part time at Kootenay School of the Arts in Nelson. A number of his former students are showing their entries this year at Sculpturewalk: Simone Schlichting, Merlyn Richelhoff and Daniel Kloc, to name three. It is something he is justifiably proud of. “ It’s gratifying to have students become peers,” he says. “To pass the torch as it were. I like to be able to share techniques and little tricks I’ve developed with my students.

It’s nice to see the knowledge I’ve accrued working with bronze realized in sculptors I’ve previously instructed. Obviously, I must be doing something right, based on the quality of the local bronze works competing with mine!” he says with a smile.

A member of the Sculptor’s Society of Canada, Kleine has displayed across the country and the United States. He is also proficient in snow, ice and sand sculpture, travelling world-wide to competitions and exhibitions. Bronze and stone remain his favourite mediums though.

He combines them wonderfully in Talking Crows. Taking a discarded idea and revitalizing it through new imagery, Kleine’s entry this year shines. It also speaks – within itself, to the viewer, and of his mastery of bronze and stone vividly combined.

Douglas Walker

Seventy Six Trombones (various metals) From his studio tucked in the scenic Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, the ultra-productive Douglas Walker has created another of his entrancing, beguiling musical mashups for us to enjoy at this year’s Sculpturewalk.

Seventy Six Trombones is –like all his sculptures - utterly original and visionary. Last year his water fountain sculpture Honkfest took home the coveted Peoples Choice award, winning the most votes over the course of the competition against a stellar field. Walker was delighted of course, and somewhat surprised.

“This is a great event. They treat us

like gold, and to win the Peoples Choice award, given the quality of the works here, is an honour I’m very proud of.”

On Sculpturewalk he is effusive.

“It’s truly amazing that a community can put this together,” he says, “because it’s nowhere else in Canada. There are very few places where you can do something like this in North America, let alone Canada. “ It is easy to see why Honkfest resonated with viewers last year, and Seventy Six Trombones likely will do the same this year. Walker creates beautifully designed and structured works full of kinetic movement, usually anchored by discarded musical instruments.

Seventy Six Trombones continues in that vein, displaying his creativity in full flower.

“When I look at this work, it conjures up marching bands, parades, jubilation, smiles and small town special days gone by,” he says. The three anchoring sousaphones, bells upward, form the base of a vase from which other instruments, or parts of them, blossom.

Three tvertical rombones or slides are central, surrounded by wavering brass orbs topped with blue bulbs. Moving whirligigs, and metallic mechanisms fan upwards like a musical spray of flowers, topped with a rustic weathervane.

“I hope the viewer can feel the in-

www.deniskleinesculpture.com

herent excitement and vibrancy of the piece and relate to it as I do.”

Seventy Six Trombones stands about ten feet high and five feet deep. Like all his marvellous sculptures, it’s made to last – inside, or out in the elements. Walker hot fuses and mechanically joins the always numerous components of his latest distinctive sculpture, using nylon bushings for the moving parts. Much of Seventy Six Trombones is non-ferrous metal; any steel is painted and specially coated to prevent rust.

“Many of my works live outside here on the coast year round,” he says with a laugh. “They have to be rainproof!”

Ever inventive, Walker’s creative output matches that of his artistic ingenuity. He has fashioned over a thousand unique works since he took up sculpting full time. They run the gamut of form and functionality – from water fountains to outdoor furniture, from bird feeders to lamps, from window baskets to candelabras and weather vanes.

Always, the beauty of his flowing design and often delicate artistic style is apparent, occasionally infused with a jolt of the unexpected.

A lovely weather vane incorporates an old air horn; lusciously wrought bird feeders might feature a bit of Island driftwood.

“I’m a serious artist of course, but a little humour and whimsy always manages to nestle itself into much of my work,” says Walker. “You can’t take yourself too seriously. I like to create beautiful, intricate pieces that are often functional, and sometimes a bit zany. Like my latest bent – Victorian-era robots!”

Victorian-era robots!? What would they be like? The sure answer: doubtless they will be magical, wondrous and spectacularly crafted, a fantastical meld of the present and the past from the always-whirring, fertile mind of Mr. Walker. www.waterworksgardenart.com SPONSORED by

Nancy Chernoff July 29, 1935 May 18, 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Nancy Chernoff, a long-time resident of Salmo. Nancy passed away at the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital on May 18, 2014. She fought a long courageous battle with cancer. Nancy was born in Verigin, Saskatchewan on July 29, 1935.

Nancy’s family moved to the Kootenay’s in 1941. She graduated in 1954 from Nelson High School and later married Peter Chernoff. The couple settled in Salmo where they raised their two children.

She was an avid gardener and also enjoyed sewing, knitting and everyone enjoyed her baking. Nancy volunteered in children’s activities and was a Salmo Newsletter volunteer. Her greatest joy was her family, which she showed in so many wonderful ways.

Nancy was predeceased by her husband Peter Chernoff, her mother Mary Hlookoff, her father Mike Chernoff, and her step-father Peter Hlookoff.

She is survived by her son Mark Chernoff, her daughter Zenda (Robert) Frame, her grandchildren; Ryan and Trevor, her brother Allen Hlookoff, and her sisterin-law “sister” Elizabeth Konkin.

The family wishes to express their gratitude for all the care and support that was given to Nancy. Special thanks to her “sisters” Liz Konkin, Norma Waterstreet and Joan Field for helping in so many ways. Thank you so much to Dr. Scotland and the amazing staff in Oncology. Nancy called them her “second family”.

Also thank you so much to the wonderful doctors and staff at the Salmo Medical Clinic.

By Nancy’s request, there will not be a service. Al Grywacheski of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ has been entrusted with arrangements.

Drive to Save Lives

In Loving Memory of Josh Evin

Our Josh, It’s so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been if it had never shone. In this darkness our joys will be greater, our love deeper, our lives fuller- all because we shared your moment.

Still, we’re missing your smile, voice, sense of humour, charm, wit; your way of making everything better. Mostly, we’re just missing you. It’s impossible to forget someone who left so much to remember.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, we’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. When we look up to the sky, we think, perhaps those are not stars, but rather openings where you shine down to let us know you are happy and at peace. Josh, you are the pause between our words, the light when we close our eyes, and the whisper in our silence. However, we know goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. For those who love with heart and soul, there is no separation. As Helen Keller said, “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt by the heart.” We feel you in all our hearts, Josh.

Your Family

Unsurpassed Ser vice, Lifelong Suppor t There could be MORE to that • Sleep Apnea Screening SNORE than you think!

• CPAP Therapy

Sleep is extremely important to good health. After a night’s sleep you should wake up feeling rested and refreshed. For 25% of Canadians this is not the case. If you wake up feeling tired and remain tired throughout the day you may be suffering from a sleep disorder.

The most common sleep disorder is Sleep Apnea.

What is Sleep Apnea?

During sleep the muscles that control the tongue and soft palate hold the airway open. If these muscles relax too much the airway narrows and can block the passage, as you breathe in, the soft floppy part of the throat vibrates causing snoring. As you enter deep sleep, these tissues can fully block the airway and breathing stops. Regular occurrence of these sleep disruptions increase your risk of cardiovascular disease and can exacerbate conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

If sleep disturbances occur regularly many of your body systems will suffer. The most common signs symptoms are: • Daytime tiredness • Snoring • Pauses in breathing • Gasping or choking during sleep • Depression or anxiety • Difficulty concentrating • Large neck circumference • Excessive Weight BMI >28 • Family History If left untreated you could be at risk for: • High Blood Pressure or congestive heart failure • 8 to 18 times more likely to have a heart attack and or stroke • Decreased quality of life • 3 fold increased risk for car accidents • 2.5 times more likely to die in your sleep • Erectile Dysfunction • Concentration or attention problems • Sleep deprived bed partners • Complications with medications and surgery Diagnosis: Sleep Apnea can be diagnosed in several ways. The standard for Sleep Apnea diagnosis is an overnight visit. BC has 11 sleep labs located in major centers. Independent Respiratory Services offers home testing in communities across BC. Home testing is an effective screening program that measures up to 7 parameters allowing for diagnosis.

Treatments for Sleep Apnea There is no easy fix for Sleep Apnea, the following can help reduce its affects: weight loss, avoidance of alcohol, sleep position and good sleep habits. When these do not work other treatments are available: • Dental appliances (bite-blocks) have been shown to reduce Ap neas in mild to moderate cases. Pros: Non invasive, easily por table. Cons: Only 50% effective, no trial period to see if they work, have to be purchased upfront, cost, adjustment period 4-12 weeks • Surgery: Not recommended by the College of Surgeons and Phy sicians due to failure rates and complications of surgery.

• Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine: This device is the gold standard for treatment. CPAP applies gentle air pres sure through the nose or mouth preventing the soft tissues in the back of the throat from collapsing. Pros: 100% effective when worn. Cons: Getting use to the mask and pressure, cost.

Should you suspect you or someone you know is suffering from this disorder talk to your physician or contact IRS for more information or free testing 1-877-965-6204.

Independent Respiratory Services is a BC-owned and operated full service respiratory company. We have been providing sleep apnea and home oxygen therapy to British Columbians since 1996.

Thank-you for that class.

It is with great pleasure that I can stand in front of you and honour your high school convocation as the Principal of Stanley Humphries Secondary School.

I want to start off by thanking all of the parents, families, friends and staff that are here tonight to celebrate this graduating class of 2014.

As I was preparing this speech I wanted to make it authentic and memorable like most other speakers do I suppose.

I wanted to stay away from too many famous quotes and classic bylines.

I stayed strong for a while but was drawn in to the world of GOOGLE. A few items stuck.

I have two pieces of advice that spoke to me, and I have added two thank-you’s.

I read that principal’s convocation speeches shouldn’t exceed 25 minutes.

OK. Good tip I thought.

Advice item #1. Be critical.

I used my critical sense and surveyed my surroundings.

I know the crowd here. The students, the families, the staff, the guests and how comfortable the benches are.

Even my family wouldn’t want to hear me speak for that long.

Being critical or using critical thought is something that is developed and valued in Education. This is not to be confused with being negative, bitter or angry.

The ability to take in information,

process it, make sense of it and develop an informed decision or opinion is important.

With this in mind, I stand here today following the philosophy of Mr. Kinghorn…. “Run with the students not at.”

25 minutes of me speaking would be “at students” while 4 minutes and 48 seconds is “with”.:) Advice item # 2. A Career Tip. “Persistence trumps talent at times” There are massive returns to doggedness.

Work ethic and persistence are two qualities that will benefit your future life and career. People who work hard and work through difficult courses, work situations or life challenges are better friends, partners and co-workers in the long run.

“Stick-with it-ness” is king when things become difficult.

Now, two thank-yous to this group of young adults.

I am incredibly proud to be in this situation.

To have such a profession that involves young people of such quality.

This grad class was just entering the graduate program when I came to SHSS three years ago.

Now as the most senior, they have made important positive impacts that have been felt school and community wide.

Being involved in events that were specific for the graduates like the Murder Mystery or Grad Banquet is expected but these students started new

We are in interesting times in “Education” now.

This class has had an incredible number of options for obtaining graduate courses. On-timetable courses, Off time-table courses, On-line and Distance courses and Selkirk college pre-apprenticeship programs.

Some students also chose to finish high school after their first semester.

While I struggled with the idea of less grade 12’s in the building, I have come to the realization that we are trying to improve happiness and life chances with our youth. We know that quality education provides for greater choices of lifestyle, which of course is connected to long term health, prosperity and happiness.

Thank you grads for helping me change some of my possibly selfish perceptions that the graduate program should be six semesters in one building.

An added note before I finish.

I have great connections with many of the students in this class. I was working at Kinnaird Elementary School as a Vice-Principal many years ago and teaching a grade four class. So hello to you all and I hope your grade four experience helped you along.

One last piece of advice ….

At this point in your life, High School experiences seem like they define you.

Both the good and “not so good”.

Your future is largely up to you.

Remember, your treatment of others and how you conduct yourself is always up to you.

Work hard and always strive to be better than you are today.

WELL DONE TO THE GRADUATES OF 2014!

Valedictorian Speech: Saad Waseem 2014

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, family, friends, distinguished guests, faculty, and of course the graduating class of 2014!

I am here today to reflect on the past five years of our remarkable journey through high school and into adulthood encapsulating everything we heard, saw, and felt into one story.

And the best way to tell a story is to start at the end, briefly, then go back to the beginning, periodically returning to the end, giving different characters’ perspectives throughout.

Now, as we sit here today, we are filled with an abundance of joy, a sense of accomplishment, and a little bit of sorrow. Because ending twelve years of good times, not-so-good times, and frankly, unknown times with some of the greatest classmates you’ll ever get, is not an easy task.

Like in kindergarten, when we would frolic around in the grass, climb enormous metal structures, eat our PB&J sandwiches out of our little superhero lunchboxes, and take the bus back home with the “big kids”, being a little kid was amazing!

O r elementary school, when all we truly cared about was having fun and getting through class, so we could go to recess. Challenging the other classes to an intense game of mini-hockey or soccer just to prove who is better. A simple pleasure that was more than sufficient and is something many of us still do today, but instead of recess, we call it a “spare”. This was where we truly grew from children to teenagers. I remember getting called up to the office for throwing snowballs, and Mr.E made me and the rest of the guilty parties write-up 100 lines of “Throwing snowballs is dangerous and not allowed.

I will promise not throw snowballs or get into snowball fights ever again.” Man those were good times!

And we can’t forget grade 8… Initially, we were terrified. The enormous creatures called “seniors”, the cafeteria, the freedom, and the insanely confusing block rotation. All of this was brand new to us, and it was like we had just landed Mars: even the seniors would say, “Greetings, earthlings”. It was a frightening ordeal, and I remember thinking, “Wow, I am never going to get out of this place.” But as the days went by, we became accustomed to this giant labyrinth of a school.

We treaded those halls like models on the runway. We were finally “high school kids”.

This was followed by grade 9. An odd year because we weren’t quite kids, and we definitely weren’t seniors.

We were something in between. This precarious situation, accompanied by our changing bodies, minds, and beliefs, led to the quickest year in our education thus far. Arguably, it was time travel.

I’m talking about grade 10. This was the first moment where the pressure to perform was on. Knowing that our grades would be reflected permanently onto our transcripts was a startling proposition. This meant a lot more studying and a lot more homework.

And studying wasn’t just limited to school; it was now required in our daily lives. Like when we were getting our L’s, having to study all the different kinds of signs, symbols and rules of the road: it was pretty intense. As a matter of fact, it was so intense that many of us failed that test on our first, second, and for some, fourth tries!

But, luckily, as I have learned, it was all for the better because persistence and determination always paid off.

Once we entered grade 11, we figured out the system and were pros. That “startling proposition” was now nothing more than an average day at school. This meant we had a lot more time to do the things we love and to simply hangout. This was the climax, the rush of endorphins stimulating our senses, the wind gusting through our hair as we finally get behind the wheel; this was it. And as we drove around with our shiny new Ns flaunting our Tim Horton’s beverages, we had unknowingly created the impetus for the bond that we share today. And it is this bond that would catapult us into the next and final chapter of our journey through high school.

Because for some reason, since the very beginning, all we had wanted to do was get through and out of school as quickly as possible. A concept, which only in this, our last year of high school, we realized was a complete and utter waste. And that is, Ladies and Gentlemen, what makes grad year different.

This was the turning point in our education because this was the year we took it slowly, the year we sat down and enjoyed the moment, enjoyed the great people in it, and enjoyed all the joys of being a grad because, as

Graduates racing to the Cap and Gown Continued from P. B8

a wise hockey coach once told me, “This group of people right here, this group of people in its entirety may never be together in the same room again. So take in the moment and enjoy the memories that you will make in the process, because these will be the memories of a lifetime“. And Grads, that’s exactly what we have done, and what we are doing right now.

And look at where all this blood, sweat and tears has led us! As I look around this room today, I see some very talented faces. I see the next generation of musicians, artists, lawyers, doctors, engineers, tradesman, athletes, and everything in between. It is absolutely astonishing! But more than anything, as I look around this room, today, again, I see a group of loving, caring, and straight up amazing companions.

Everyday, you guys inspire me. If someone is having a rough day, you will go out of your way and buy them Tim’s just to make him or her feel better. And for that, class of 2014, you eternally have my respect.

And before I end this lengthy speech, I would like to leave you with an inspirational quotation from Spiderman 2.

“It’s easy to feel hopeful on a beautiful day like today, but there will be dark days ahead of us too, and they’ll be days where you feel all alone, and that’s when hope is needed most, no matter how buried it gets, or how lost you feel, you must promise me, that you will hold on to hope. Keep it alive, we have to be greater than what we suffer. My wish for you is to become hope; people need that, and even if we fail, what better way is there to live? As we look around here today, and all the people who helped make us who we are, I know it feels like we’re saying goodbye, but we will carry a piece of each other, into everything we do next, to remind us of who we are, and if we’re meant to be.”

That being said, let’s focus on right now because right now, this is our moment and the bright future ahead of us is still to come. So let’s make the best of it class of 2014 because after all these years, we finally did it!

Congratulations!
