Robbery suspect’s escape bid foiled A man accused in a series of armed robberies is back in custody after escaping Monday morning at the Nelson courthouse.

Andrew Stevenson, 34, was due to elect trial on 21 charges.

According to the Ministry of Justice, around 9 a.m. a deputy sheriff was escorting Stevenson into the courthouse through a sheriff-access only door when he threw off his crutches and fled.

Stevenson was using the crutches ostensibly as the result of injuries he suffered during his arrest on April 25. Consequently, he wasn’t wearing leg irons.

What a great time to shop for beautiful new home furnishings!

The deputy sheriff chased Stevenson and caught him within two blocks of the courthouse. He was then transferred to the Nelson Police Department and taken back to the city lock-up. He’s expected to face a new charge of escaping custody.

The Ministry of Justice said typically when deputy sheriffs escort prisoners in custody from the Nelson police jail to the courthouse, they are handcuffed and placed in leg irons subject to medical conditions or other factors.

“B.C. Sheriff Services will be reviewing this incident and the

current practices and policies surrounding the transportation of prisoners in Nelson,” the ministry said.

Stevenson was denied bail last week. His case was put over to October 7, when he will appear in court by video.

Stevenson is accused of holdups at the Kootenay Currency Exchange in which a shot was fired, Nelson and District Credit Union, Kootenay Savings in Castlegar, and Johnny’s Grocery in Robson, plus two break-ins at Castlegar pharmacies in March and April.

Among other counts, he is ac-

cused of possession of a restricted weapon, pointing a firearm, possession of stolen property over $5,000, and fleeing police.

His co-accused, Krista Kalmikoff has been released on bail. Her lawyer has indicated she intends to plead not guilty and elect trial by judge and jury. She also returns to court October 7.

Stevenson and Kalmikoff were both arrested the day of the Nelson credit union robbery. They have not been charged in robberies at the Kootenay Savings in Salmo and Shoppers Simply Pharmacy in Castlegar.

Historical teachers’ strike timeline Canadian Press

A tentative deal has been hammered out earlier this week, and teachers, including those in Castlegar area were scheduled to vote today on whether to accept it.

Significant dates in the long history of labour unrest within B.C.’s public education system: 1987: B.C.’s Social Credit government passes a law that gives teachers the right to form a union and strike.

However, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation largely sees it as an attack, since the law also decentralizes bargaining to local school districts, removes compulsory membership in the federation and establishes the B.C. College of Teachers.

1988-1993: The province’s schools are beset by dozens of strikes under the new system, the first of which happened in Kitimat in November 1988, when teachers walk off the job for 10 days.

In 1993, the NDP government uses legislation to end strikes in Vancouver and Surrey.

1994: The provincial government establishes provincewide collective bargaining between the teachers’ federation and the newly created B.C. Public School

Employers’ Association, which negotiates on behalf of school boards and the government.

1998: The province negotiates a collective agreement directly with the teachers’ union, bypassing the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association. The contract is imposed on school boards through legislation.

August 2001: The recently elected Liberal government passes legislation that declares K-12 education an essential service.

January 2002: The government uses legislation to impose a contract and remove hundreds of provisions related to class size and class composition from the teachers’ collective agreement, while also prohibiting those issues from being part of future negotiations.

Teachers walk off the job for one day in protest. Christy Clark, who would become premier in nine years, is education minister.

May: The B.C. Teachers’ Federation files a constitutional challenge of the legislation.

October 2005: The B.C. government imposes a collective agreement on teachers, which prompts a two-week strike that is later ruled illegal.

The biggest names in the Forestry Industry recruit using LocalWork.ca

June 2006: With the help of labour mediator Vince Ready, teachers and their employer reach a five-year collective agreement that includes a 16 per cent wage increase and a signing bonus of $4,000 per teacher.

It is the first provincewide contract that did not require some form of legislation.

April 2011: A B.C. Supreme Court judge rules the 2002 legislation removing class size and composition from bargaining is unconstitutional. The court ruling restores the deleted provisions and gives the government one year to come up with a fix.

September: During negotiations, teachers withdraw a number of administrative tasks such as filling out report cards.

March 5, 2012: Teachers walk off the job for three days.

March 15: The government passes back-to-work legislation, which again deletes the clauses related to class size and class composition that were initially removed in 2002. The legislation allows class size and class composition to be part of future negotiations.

June 26: The teachers’ federation and the employer

reach a two-year collective agreement. The union files a court challenge of the most recent back-to-work legislation the following day.

January 27, 2014: A B.C. Supreme Court judge again rules the provincial government violated teachers’ collective bargaining rights by removing clauses related to class size and class composition and by prohibiting those issues from being negotiated.

The ruling also awards the union $2 million.

February 4: The B.C. government files an appeal.

May 26: The teachers’ union begins rotating, oneday-a-week strikes throughout the province’s school districts

June 17: Teachers stage a full-scale strike, cancelling the final two weeks of the school year.

September 2: The first day of the school year is postponed.

September 11: Education Minister Peter Fassbender no longer rules out back-towork legislation — an option he previously insisted he would not use.

September 16: A tentative agreement is reached between the teachers’ union and the government.

Castlegar City Council Briefs JIM SINCLAIR Castlegar News

Castlegar City Council wrapped up its regular meeting on September 15 in about a half an hour.

The municipal group, minus Councillor Gord Turner, whisked through a relatively light agenda with no dissension and little discussion.

An easygoing atmosphere pervaded the chamber, likely due in part, as councillor Kevin Chernoff later suggested, that an active weekend had just been had by many council members, and a successful planning and development committee meeting had been concluded just prior to the public session which began at 7 p.m.

Revelations from that committee session included that new business licences had been issued to the Castlegar-based Warren’s Wok restaurant, Kootenay Cycling Inc., and Discreet Ostomy, Compression and Foot care, along with The Last House Standing – a Nelson-based

contractor, and Burr Renovation of Winlaw. It was also made public that building permits valued at just over $105,000 had been issued in the month of August leading to a year-to-date total of almost $4 million, an increase of some $300,000 over the same period in 2013.

A replot history update was supplied in the agenda, the report bringing council and the public up to speed on a situation that goes back to 1979 when certain land owners had been asked to have their properties resurveyed in the interest of enabling future development. A majority of those approached had agreed.

The replot area, as described in the agenda is an area in South Castlegar, west of Columbia Avenue between 28th and 34th Streets.

The area of individual lots was “in excess of the minimum required for subdivision,” configured in such a way that a single property owner could not subdivide and provide road access and services.

Because of recent enquiries by a group

of original landowners wishing to consolidate their properties for sale to a developer, the City has has agreed to a preliminary design of the servicing of the replot area to get an idea of the viability and cost of developing the land.

The process is quite involved, taking into account roads, sewers, water and storm water considerations.

Councillor Sue Heaton-Sherstobitoff introduced the RCMP detachment’s Crime Reduction Report for August, mentioning how impressed she is by the sheer volume of the police workload. The police report contained incidents such as arrest of a prolific offender, arson, gunshots fired, etc., all in addition to keeping tabs on people on probation, answering complaints of raucous parties, plus dealing with a heavy schedule of traffic duty.

“It’s always interesting, the number of calls they get, and just what’s happening in our community,” said HeatonSherstobitoff. “Just how dedicated they are to make this a safe place.”

A large part of the procedure involved the removal of a chimney which led the way to a wall removal. The difference is dramatic and what it means in terms of the little girl’s mobility is all the more dramatic. “She couldn’t get from the kitchen to the living room,� described Baker of the pre-reno plight for the small resident. “So there was a domino effect. You don’t just take down a wall because there was a chimney there.

In the chimney were the vents for the furnace (50-years old) and the hot water tank.� Both of those sizable appliances, by the way, have been replaced with new units. “Everything we have done in here has been through donations from the

Columbia River Treaty

50th Anniversary - A Time to Remember and Reflect September 16 marked the 50th anniversary of the ratification of the Columbia River Treaty by the Canadian and United States governments.

The Columbia River Treaty Local Governments’ Committee is encouraging Basin communities and residents to take a few moments to recognize this important historical date, and to remember and reflect on the impacts and benefits from this Treaty in the Canadian Columbia Basin.

Three dams and reservoirs were constructed in Canada based on the treaty — Mica Dam north of Revelstoke with the Kinbasket Reservoir covering lands north to Valemount and south almost to Golden; Hugh Keenleyside Dam near Castlegar creating the Arrow Lakes Reservoir upstream to Revelstoke; and Duncan Dam and reservoir north of Kaslo — as well as Libby Dam near Libby, Montana, which created Lake Koocanusa in Canada near Cranbrook.

There have been significant benefits for the Pacific Northwest region in the U.S., for B.C. and for Basin communities during the 50 years that the treaty has been in place.

However, in some communities substantial sacrifices were made by residents during the creation of the dams and reservoirs, and impacts continue for Basin communities today as a result of ongoing hydro operations.

“The impacts and benefits of the treaty are different in each community in the Basin, so we are encouraging each to choose the appropriate ways to recognize, remember and reflect on this important anniversary in their own way,” stated Deb Kozak, Chair of the Columbia River Treaty

Picket time over?

As the truck dropped off the supply of this print edition early this morning, members of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation were getting ready to vote on whether to accept a hardnegotiated contract offer from the provincial government—hard negotiated by both parties, by the way.

Printed on Wednesday night, this week’s submission cannot be based on what actually happens today. What can be accurately expressed, and asked, however, are opinions and questions.

As in comedy, they say timing is everything, and the timing of the labour showdown between teachers and government is food for thought, enough for a banquet, in fact.

Who came out ahead by the action commencing when it did? As it may have turned out, only a handful of weeks of school may have been lost.

What, if anything was gained, and by whom, during the bargaining vacuum of summer? Should we be grateful the challenge was not held over for a September release?

It seems a lot more would have been at stake with such a move. More time could have been shaved off the scholastic calendar, but then again, more pressure would likely build sooner, leading to more committed negotiation by both sides.

What is clear is that the serial known as government/teacher confrontation has had far more episodes than the average citizen would want, or care to remember.

All we can do today is hope the optimism generated by recent positive developments is a legitimate sign of an equitable and longterm settlement.

We want to hear from you.

Spots in Time - Gord Turner

The cars in my life

In the midst of the Castlegar paper is an advertiser focusing mostly on automobiles. We get to read about the engine power and the sleek finish of vehicles from many companies.

So I began to think about all the vehicles in my life and discovered that I’ve gone through a dozen or more over the years.

My first vehicle was a bust from the get-go. During my first year at university, I purchased a beater for $100, and when I took it on a long trip, it blew a head gasket. I left it at a friend’s house in a small prairie town and hitchhiked back to university. It may still be there.

During my first year as a teacher, I bought a second hand 1957 Pontiac from a friend. It was a clean, first-rate vehicle. The next year, I was boarding at my mom’s house.

I parked the Pontiac each night on the street, and it was fine there until a fellow who was drunk ran into the back of it with his big farm truck.

It seems I’ve had bad luck of some sort with most of my vehicles. The third vehicle I had was a beauty, but I took the transmission out of it after

five months. The fourth car burned a quart of oil every 300 kilometres, so I had to get rid of it. The fifth vehicle — a new Camaro — I bought when I went back to university after working for a few years. Sadly, it got smashed up because I drove across in front of a car wash when a newlywashed vehicle was accelerating into the street. Then, Ihad to sell it when I went to teach in the Arctic where there were no cars.

I remember a 1974 Toyota station wagon that had starting problems.

If it didn’t start on the first attempt, it wouldn’t start no matter what we tried. Fortunately, one of our babysitters at the time rolled the car into a stream, and ICBC got rid of it for us.

On and on it goes. We had a large ‘76 Impala when I arrived in Castlegar for my initial job at Selkirk College. During the first autumn here, I drove out in a front of a car coming along the highway by the airport. I was thinking about too many things and simply did not see the other vehicle.

Fortunately, I had another vehicle — a small Nissan truck. It lasted

quite a while, but then the front fenders fell off. They had simply rusted away. At the same time, my wife had an AMC Eagle four-by-four. That was a particularly good winter vehicle, but one of my sons ran it into a tree in the Dumont Subdivision.

Somewhere along the line, I bought my friend Alfredo’s 1971 Toyota truck. It was a natural for hauling things. Unfortunately, another son liked driving that Toyota, and one day, it was hit by a driver turning in front of him on Columbia Avenue.

I’m trying to remember the vehicles that didn’t end up smashed up or with something wrong. Ah, we had a 1986 Pontiac van that lasted until a trade-in, even though it had a major accident in a winter storm on the prairies. I also had a 1992 Pontiac 6000 that I drove for 13 years before replacing it. I had to use duct tape to hold the back window in place, but the engine was fine.

Touch wood, right now I have a good vehicle, a trusty Montana van.

I can only hope my luck holds until I choose my next vehicle.

Editor: I feel compelled to write this because I am extremely angry at the way city council has shown blatant disregard for the concerns and feelings of my neighbours on Riverside Crescent and Connors Road, and the fact that, once again, council has, rushed into spending taxpayers money unnecessarily.

Following the attendance at city council meeting of a residents’ representative, council may have garnered some respect if council had shown some wisdom and been gutsy enough to say that maybe a reconsideration was in order, instead of rushing to a contract.

The result of council’s actions has caused a detrimental change in our lifestyle. We enjoyed a natural, vegetation screen between Connors Road and the rail line. That vegetation is now damaged. This will impact our Editor: Sometimes helping others benefits you, more than those you are helping. I had that experience on Friday at the Silver Fox Run, Castle Wood Village’s spin on the Terry Fox Run. As dozens and dozens of people poured out of front doors at Castle Wood for their “run”, the smiles were abundant. Seeing the residents, guest seniors from other communities, staff and many volunteers walk

homes’ values and certainly spoil the aesthetic value that appealed to us when we decided to live here.

When we met on site with Chris Barlow, Director of Transportation and Civic Works, (with no council member attending), we were given a promise that minimum vegetation would be removed, that the trail would be about 10 feet in width.

Now we have heavy equipment knocking down trees to create a path 24 feet wide. This is unacceptable.

This path is a totally unnecessary spending spree of more than a quarter of a million dollars.

The excuse for this is that Columbia Avenue between Kalawsky’s and Canadian Tire is too unsafe and thus this roundabout detour through our (formerly!) quiet street is needed. However, there is a sidewalk available

in support of a single cause was heart warming and empowering.

The diversity of the participants was astounding: some completely independent, others with walkers, some in chairs, some holding onto a supporting arm, all happy to be there to support the cause and each other. Volunteers were also diverse including several young girls.

It was amazing.

Watching the interactions between the generations alone was

along that short stretch of Columbia Avenue.

Is council now saying that passage along that sidewalk will be banned?

Alternatively, because of council’s thoughtlessness, we now have an additional rail crossing in a wooded area close to a blind curve, to be used by young people wearing earphones, riding skateboards and bikes in the happy carelessness of youth.

Connors Road is currently used by 46 households as their only access, and we have been dismissed as of no consequence.

Why is this happening?

The whole project makes no sense, neither practically nor financially. I hope council feels the upset caused by this to my neighbourhood is worth it, because I certainly don’t.

Nesta Hale, Castlegar

wonderful. Nothing says love like intergenerational activities.

Amongst the amazing volunteers were a group of young men, serving food, assisting seniors and even dancing. Yes! Really. The Castlegar Rebels are a truly inspiring group of young men. The respect and genuine interest they showed as they participated in the event needs mention. Seeing the looks on the senior ladies’ faces as the rebels one by one were partnered

for the dance floor was indescribable.

As a seniors advocate I see a lot of our elderly in challenging and often heart wrenching situations.

This positive event, full of caring and joy, was just what I needed.

Thanks to the Castle Wood crew for an amazing event. I am already looking forward to next year, and recruiting more helpers.

Terry Fox event a success DEREK KAYE Castlegar News

With the early morning sun sparkling through the trees, a crowd of runners, walkers, bikers and dogs eagerly awaited the start of the Terry Fox Run on Sunday, September 14.

This year was different, with all types of self-propelled motion allowed instead of only running and walking. Participants could not only set their own pace and mode of movement but also the total length covered. The run is normally ten kilometres but entrants could cover whatever distance they were comfortable with. Organizers had set a five kilometre route that could be looped twice to cover the full 10 kilometres.

With corporate teams and families united for a cause the event proved popular. Hundreds turned out, even if it meant rolling out of

a Sunday morning sleep to throw on sneakers. The run was part of an event held all over Canada to raise funds and awareness for cancer research. But it was also to run for someone or in the memory of someone special to each runner.

With the glorious weather and a national cause, even those on four legs were jumping for joy.

For the kids whose parents were their age when Terry Fox made his historic run, the event was as much a learning experience as it was a family get together.

Organizer Audrey Polovnikoff was pleased with the turnout. She led everybody through warmups and gave pre-run instructions.

Some team members from the Selkirk Saints hockey team were also on hand to help.

It was a wonderful way to start the day and support a great cause.

The local staging has been held ever since the Terry Fox Run began.

Silver Fox Run exceeds expectations DEREK KAYE Castlegar News

In support of the Terry Fox Foundation, Castle Wood Village hosted its first annual Silver Fox Run last Friday, September 12. With over 300 participants and over $4,000 raised for the Terry Fox Foundation, this sister event to the Terry Fox Run was a resounding success. Castle Wood Village’s related residences in Trail, Fruitvale, Nelson and Grand Forks bussed in participants to join the activities.

The Castlegar Rebels provided refreshment booths and servers at the barbecue following the run.

Before the run began, a special presentation of a Rebels team jer-

sey was presented to Anne Fomenoff who had written a poem and song in support of her favourite team.

There were two courses: a shorter route circling the Village and a longer route downtown, by the Station Museum and back to the Village.

The Castlegar News reached Castle Wood’s Community

Managers Linda Frew and Jane Phillips for comment on the success of the event.

“It was absolutely phenomenal,” Frew remarked. “The energy in this building was absolutely incredible.”

Jane Phillips vouched for the excitement. “It was day that brought the community together, I think it was a wonderful event.”

Friends of Parks and Trails: connecting the community Chris Mansbridge Castlegar News

Since its inception, the Castlegar Friends of Parks and Trails has helped our city undergo a major transformation. It has changed walking through town from a stroll down to Columbia Avenue, to an escape into nature.

Castlegar has no shortage of historic sites and beautiful places to explore— the city is surrounded by forest and mountains in all directions.

But before trails were established, most people would never get a chance to see them. The Friends of Parks and Trails grew the city’s existing trail network to reach in all directions, allowing accessibility to much of what the area has to offer. Through the years the group has taken stewardship over many of the forested pathways that weave through the green spaces between neighbourhoods, while constructing trails to the tops of mountains and even to other cities.

Holding true to c om mu n it y - b a s e d roots, the outfit has grown from just a handful of members, to a staple local organization with a board of directors and paid trail maintenance staff. Most important of all, it’s embraced by those who love the outdoors.

“I think the strength of Friends of Parks and Trails lies in the diversity of its membership,” said club member Greg Hollingshead. “While having a respect for the outdoors in common, the group includes casual walkers, serious hikers as well as a strong contingent of mountainbikers. This in turn is reflected in the trails that the society sup-

ports.” And the trails do vary to satisfy anyone. They maintain the relatively short, flat Waldie Island Trail, while at the same time were responsible for the construction of Brilliant Overlook, which takes you to the top of the Brilliant Bluff.

The result is a truly unique city experience. Because of their hard work someone from almost any area of town can walk from the section of trail nearest their neighbourhood and travel to anywhere else in the community. It’s even possible to walk to the village of Glade through the Skattebo Reach Trail or even the city of Trail through the Columbia View Trail.

Treasurer of the organization, Lawrence Redfern, said it best.

“Trails connect the community not only through the pathways, but also in a human sense. Trail users come from all walks of life, all ages, and for multiple reasons.

Within our Society we have adrenalin-junkie mountain bikers, contemplative walkers, health and fitness enthusiasts and commuter.” Redfern continued to explain the diversity of the users, from two months to 92 years old, because the trails are accessible to almost everyone and are about much more than just walking. “Through well-developed infrastructure, trails can provide important health, economic, recreational and educational benefits to many, many people.

When you meet people out on our local trails they are always smiling!”

As the organization grows, so does the following and the diversity. Last summer, they completed two mountain bike

trails up Merry Creek to continue Castlegar’s reputation of having some of the best-built mountain bike trails in the Kootenays. Backed by secured funding from the Recreation Commission and keen

volunteers to help build and repair trails beside their professional builders, the Friends of Parks and Trails will continue to make our city one of the most pedestrian—friendly cities around.

cordially invites one and all to a “Community Appreciation Open House” on Saturday, September 27, 2014 at the Doukhobor Discovery Centre (across from the Castlegar airport) from 10am to 5pm.

Come out and see the newly installed monument commemorating the Doukhobor Migration to BC from Saskatchewan.

Bring family, friends, a picnic lunch and enjoy a leisurely day viewing the various displays in and around the grounds of the museum.

Light refreshments and open mic entertainment will be available throughout the day.

Admission is free but donations are gratefully accepted.

Although the museum will remain open to September 30th, this is our season closing event.

We look forward to seeing you all in 2015.

He spent all summer training and fundraising, and then another 10 days on the road cycling for local children. Cst. Rob Gardner returned Sunday from their 10 day, 1,000 kilometre cycling journey across south eastern British Columbia as a part of the Cops for Kids Ride Team.

communities across the region, where they were generously hosted by local restaurants, hotels and service groups to keep the team fueled and rested for the road.

“It was great to arrive into my hometown of Castlegar on day 3,” said Gardner.

“After climbing the Paulson Summit, it was a nice coast down the hill to Boston Pizza where we were met by our Little Ambassadors and friends where they generously opened their doors to feed and host the team, before our overnight rest at the Super 8.”

“This was such a rewarding experience,” he added. “We all know that it’s a tough physical challenge, but to be rewarded by those smiling faces of the kids who benefit from our efforts is really what makes it all worthwhile.”

Cops for Kids provides assistance directly to children who need it most

from our region. Due to the overwhelming number of grant requests, they are unable to meet the demands and have established a wait list of children needing essential medical equipment, specialized therapies, and medical travel. Although their signature event has wrapped up for the year, their need for funding lasts throughout the year.

The group currently has a wait list for funding, and they require year-round donations to fund their requests until the 2015 ride.

“I was one of the top fundraisers on the team this year,” summarized Gardner.

“And while I know I’ve got my work cut out for me to maintain that reputation as a top fundraiser on the team, I’m committed to make next year even bigger and better.”

Directions 1. Heat the oven to 425°F and arrange a rack in the middle.

2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the squash pieces cut-side up on the baking sheet. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and brush all of it over the tops and insides of the squash halves (alternatively, you can rub it on evenly with your fingers). Season generously with salt and pepper. Roast until knife tender, about 50 minutes to 1 hour.

3. Meanwhile, peel, core, and cut the apple into medium dice. Cut the onion into medium dice.

Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Add the apple, onion, and sage, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.

4. When the squash is ready, set the baking sheet on a wire rack until the squash is cool enough to handle. Using a large spoon, scoop the flesh into the saucepan with the sautéed apples and onions; discard the skins.

5. Add the broth, water, and measured salt and pepper, stir to combine, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally and breaking up any large pieces of squash, until the flavors meld, about 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cream.

6. Using a blender, purée the soup in batches until smooth, removing the small cap (the pour lid) from the blender lid and covering the space with a kitchen towel (this allows steam to escape and prevents the blender lid from popping off). Alternatively, use an immersion blender. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve garnished with the pumpkin seeds, if using.

October 9 The Doctor will be in!

Jim Sinclair Castlegar News

Legends don’t just breeze through town every day. Well, maybe in a city like Toronto or New York, but not Castlegar.

A date with a legend is coming up at the Element Club, a date not to miss for folks who remember Dr. Hook from his heyday in the 70s. Fans who have muscled their way onto the Medicine Show bandwagon in the years since Dr. Hook burst onto the scene with a cover of the Rolling Stone will want to secure their tickets for this farewell event.

The miles logged and dates performed over the decades are testaments to the energy and dedication of the Doctor, aka Ray Sawyer, who has maintained a busy touring schedule which has been supported by legions of fans.

According to information gleaned from the Dr. Hook/ Ray Sawyer website, sixty gold and platinum records have been earned worldwide by the group. Ray has “gained the

confidence of a seasoned entertainer and to this day travels the world with his band.”

His son Cayce has been touring with him since he was 13 playing percussion and singing background vocals in the show. Now he is the drummer for the band. Ray has had the honour of being Inducted into the Alabama Music Hall Of Fame” in April 2005.

“They’re big rock singers, they’ve got golden fingers and they’re loved everywhere

they go!”

An in-person opportunity to connect with pop music history is yours to seize at Castlegar’s Element Club Bar Grill on Thursday, October 9.

It’s Dr. Hook’s farewell tour —his only and final B.C. date.

Hear all the classic hits: Sylvia’s Mother, Freaker’s Ball and so many more. Join us in giving Ray and company a Kootenay goodbye. A perfect way to kick off Thanksgiving weekend.

Donation dollars: Doubled by Dirty Diggers Jim Sinclair Castlegar News

If it takes a community to raise a child, it takes a very compassionate community to help out a family in a medical crisis. Chris, from the Dirty Diggers excavating outfit in Castlegar, and the family of a pair of beautiful babies are hoping the helping neighbourly hand shows up at this weekend’s Pass Creek Fall Fair.

Thoughts this time around will largely focus on the Bate family, and babies Summer Don and Wyatt, whose challenges in life began before birth. Arriving only this past July, the pair has been stricken by some serious health issues. They’ve been receiving good treatment but the family has a long and costly ordeal ahead of it. To top things off, father Steve has some critical

Young Bate siblings can use all the help they can get.

kidney-related issues to cope with as well.

For the past several years the Dirty Diggers attraction has been a magnet for kids and adults alike. Many of us at some point have been fascinated by large, brightly painted machines moving big stuff around.

This year folks stopping by

the Dirty Diggers display at the fair will have the option of making a donation toward the ongoing expenses which lie ahead for the Bate family.

Every dollar, every dime raised will be matched by Dirty Diggers. Maybe you can see your way clear, to see to it the Diggers dish out a lot.

Have a great fair.

“Rock” Festival returns this Saturday The Kootenay Rock Climbing Festival welcomes legendary Australian mountaineer John Fantini to the September 20 event at the Lion’s Head Pub in Robson.

Guest speaker Fantini, who now resides in Penticton, has innumerable first alpine and rock climbing ascents to his credit around the world and, at the age of 71, is still going strong, putting up hard new sport routes in Skaha Provincial Park.

Organized by TAWKROC (the Association of West Kootenay Rock Climbers), the Kootenay Climbing Festival is set for its third annual staging this Saturday from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. The event will be held by the natural rock climbing wall behind the pub and will feature a zipline for the kids, slackline, door prize draw, silent auction and the always popular Tower of Power competition, which sees competitors try to stack the most milk crates…

while standing on them!

Different for this year is the fact the Lion’s Head now has a family dining license which means kids can come and go from the restaurant anytime before 7 p.m. (Children must be accompanied by an adult).

Everyone is welcome and there is no cover charge, although, as this is a fundraiser to help new outdoor route development, donations are greatly appreciated.

The local TAWKROC group was established in 2009 to help promote outdoor rock climbing in the Kootenay region. It organizes work parties to improve rock climbing areas and by offering a bolt fund for climbing developers. Every year the organization reimburses climbers who spend time and money putting up new rock climbs in the area. In 2012, TAWKROC became a chapter of the Climbing Access Society of British Columbia and its directors

are now committed to ensuring various climbing areas in the Kootenays remain accessible for all.

Last year TAWKROC reimbursed outdoor route developers for $668.48 worth of climbing hardware for new areas developed in Castlegar, Nelson and Creston. Also, later this autumn TAWKROC is organizing a work party to improve access to the Koch Creek climb-

ing area in the Slocan Valley. Directors have also been busy replacing old anchors and bolts at the Kinnaird Wall in Castlegar, an area popular with locals and visitors since the early 1960s.

Saints Smokies split series The Selkirk Saints Men’s Hockey Team opened the exhibition season with a pair of hard fought and exciting games against the Trail Smoke Eaters in a showcase providing a taste of what’s to come for the new season.

The inter-league set matched the two-time defending British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League (BCIHL) champions against the region’s only British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) squad. The outcome was two intense games that tested the talent of both clubs.

Saturday night was a fitting finish to a great weekend of hockey as the Smokies triumphed over the Saints with a 5-4 double overtime victory at the Cominco Arena. A quick pace and end-to-end action in the third and overtime periods made up for the mediocre first and second frames.

The Smoke Eaters came out with a vengeance and controlled play early earning 1-0 and 3-1 leads in each of the first two periods. Craig Zuccarini, Craig Martin and Dallas Calvin potted goals for the home team while Jackson Garrett notched a goal for Selkirk. The Saints came alive in the third, scoring three times on goals from Matt Martin and Mason Spear. Brendan Volpe tallied for Trail which knotted the game, sending it to overtime.

“We didn’t start the game the way any team would want to,”

Selkirk Saints veteran defenceman Stefan Gonzales weaves his way through the Trail Smoke Eaters defence during Saturday night’s match at the Cominco Arena.

said new Saints head coach Alex Evin. “We had slow feet in our zone and didn’t compete our hardest to win any puck battles, especially when we had numbers. However, we have to give Trail credit because they played with a lot of intensity, which complemented their speed and skill very well.

“Our goaltenders Mike Vlanich and James Prigione kept the game within reach with some huge saves throughout the game and it allowed us to claw back and make a game of it in the second half.”

Midway through the second overtime period which included back-and-forth three on three action, the Smokies’ persistence paid off when Martin scored his second of the night off a beautiful feed from Zane Shartz. Both teams traded multiple scoring chances that included a penalty shot save by 16-year-old Smokies netminder Solomon Burk who came into the game in the third period to make his Junior

A debut.

Both teams introduced each other during an epic battle Friday night at the Castlegar Community Complex. A crowd of more than 400 was treated to a fast paced game from beginning to end, including big hits and great goals. Selkirk earned a hard fought 7-4 victory increasing their impressive unbeaten home game streak to 30 games.

Newcomer Ryan Edwards led the way for the Saints with a hat trick while Ryan Henderson, Tylor Branzsen, Darnell Dyck and Thomas Hardy added singles.

Scoring for the Smoke Eaters was Zuccarini, Ryan Swanson and Keenan Scott. The Saints’ goaltending duties were shared

by Prigione and Steven Glass.

“I hope everyone in attendance enjoyed these hockey games,” said Evin. “They were intense and fast. Both had exciting finishes and both teams respect one another. We wish the Smokies a great season and will support them any way we can.”

The feature article was a wonderful way to show some of our interests and capa-

bilities at Cover Architectural Collaborative, and introduce us to a wider audience in the Kootenay region.”

Karen Bennett, regional sales director for the West Kootenay said feedback has been nothing but positive for the new magazine.

Dear Miss Sensibility, Alright, alright, I get the message! My wife showed me your column last week with the old bag fussing about her neighbour’s brown grass and I knew right away that it was our nosey neighbour! Well, ‘Lawnette’ doesn’t know what she’s talking about! Am I supposed to waste water on a lawn during forest fire season? My wife and I both work long hours! When are we supposed to find the time to put out sprinklers? And, we can’t afford a sprinkler system. Tell me, what can I do to get my nosey neighbour to stick her nose in her oen business, not mine? -Lawn-y

Dear Lawn-y, While I would agree that a nosey neighbour can be a nuisance, I am afraid I have to agree with Lawnette that you should make an effort to improve the appearance of your lawn. The City of Castlegar has very reasonable watering restrictions in place to ensure that there is always enough water for emergencies and fires. You are allowed to water every other day determined by your address. It would not take much effort to find a time between 5:00 and 11:00 morning or night a few times a week to water your lawn. I am sorry to be so blunt, but working hard and not having time are weak excuses. It takes a very small amount of time and effort to turn on a sprinkler.

Our city even has a water smart ambassador who will come to your home and assess your watering needs and help you set up a plan.

In answer to your question about getting nosey neighbours to mind their own business, I am afraid you may not have much luck on that account. It is an instinctive quality of most people, that we want to know other people’s affairs, and especially those of our neighbours. I believe this is most likely why the front porch swing was invented; so we could pretend to be sipping lemonade and enjoying the cool of the evening while we are really spying on our neighbours.
