JIM SINCLAIR Castlegar News

A trip from the West Kootenays to the East Coast is lengthy no matter how you want to measure it. But when a series of airport delays kicks in like a movie script, a traveler, like Castlegar city councillor Sue Heaton-Sherstobitoff, can only tilt her head and laugh it off.

The main reason it’s easy to shrug off the extended travel marathon is that her city won an international award at the annual Communities in Bloom presentations this past weekend in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.

N M U T U A

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

Coming and going, it seemed every kind of mixup that could happen with airline schedules did. It was exhausting to even hear about.

On the bright side, though, the award in the International Challenge (Small) was indeed won by Castlegar, marked by a moment of disbelief from Heaton-Sherstobitoff.

After an ordeal of a day and a half that caused her to miss many of the events she had looked forward to, the Castlegar rep snuck into Charlottetown in the wee small hours, long after her expected arrival time.

When she walked up to the

podium to accept the award, she truthfully told the crowd she had nothing prepared in the way of an acceptance speech. She told the Castlegar News she winged it, because she really thought it would take a few years of trying before her city could earn a win.

But win it did, leading to a euphoria that not even jet lag and sleep deprivation could spoil.

“We go up and got our big granite award. I said a few words on behalf of the city,” Heaton-Sherstobitoff recalled.

“I just kind of made them up because I actually was not expecting that we would win. I said ‘We have 8,200 people in

our community. The heartbeat of our community is volunteers, and you really notice that when volunteers stop volunteering; your community starts slowly dying like a flower in fall when it gets frost.’”

There will likely be more to this saga, but for now, suffice to say that the councillor and her accomplice, Roxy Riley-Poznikoff, got what they went for.

Congratulations volunteers, including, of course, the vacationing Darlene Kalawsky, whom the Castlegar News was unable to connect with in time to include her comments in this write-up.

Trains will roll, whenever JIM SINCLAIR Castlegar News

A CP Rail spokesperson in Calgary responded to a Castlegar News question about the changing of local train schedules. The media relations person explained that if it does it is simply a result of providing better service to its customers.

The recent move to evening rail traffic has been unsettling to a number of Castlegar residents.

“All of our rail traffic is based around the needs of our customers,” said the spokesperson. “We operate 24/7, every day of the year. If people have seen trains solely during the day, our hours of operation can change at any time.”

Information gleaned from the CP Rail’s website reinforces the autonomy of the railroad.

“Freight trains do not run on a set schedule like passenger trains do. We pride ourselves on being available at all times for our customers so when

It appears as though those living near railroad tracks have little choice but to accept train traffic in any amount, at any time.

their demands change, we change with them.”

Another CP Rail spokesperson, Salem Woodrow, later related: “CP has made an operational change in the Castlegar area that now sees our switching operations take place at night. We made this change to improve efficiency for our customers.”

Castlegar city councillor Sue

Heaton-Sherstobitoff, on behalf of herself and many people she had heard from on the matter, had contacted CP Rail, only to hear the same company line. She says she pressed, however, for an answer to why to railroad does not give advance notice of changes in traffic schedules, to give the public a chance to prepare. She says she again was told it’s just not CP Rail’s policy to do so.

There is another avenue open to local governments: a Transport Canada Whistle Cessation policy, wherein trains can hold off on the horns, leaving local government 100 per cent liable for any collisions with vehicles of pedestrians on the tracks.

Heaton-Sherstobitoff said the City would not likely be prepared to go that route.

People with questions or concerns can contact CP Community Connect line at 1-800766-7912 or community_connect@cpr.ca.

Local reaction to teachers’ settlement

Following a Thursday night vote in which about 86 per cent of B.C. teachers accepted a six-year contract, Andy Davidoff, President of the Kootenay Columbia Teachers Union has expressed (by way of a letter to area media outlets) his thanks to those who had supported teachers during the ordeal that lasted about five weeks, on both ends of the summer break.

Davidoff ’s letter reads as follows: Dear Editor, Please accept our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who supported us in “holding the line” for public education in this province.

This has been a difficult time but the challenge to improve our students’ learning conditions was a struggle that was worth fighting for.

It was for the future of public education and our students that we took such a strong and unprecedented

stand.

We will continue to be resolute in advocating for additional support for every student that requires it!

We will continue to be resolute in advocating for adequate funding of public education in our province!

We will continue to be resolute in advocating for improvements in our student’s learning conditions!

We will continue to be resolute in advocating for

justice in the highest courts of our land to return the language that was illegally stripped from our collective agreements to enable us to better support our students.

We will continue to be resolute in advocating for our students.

We look forward to returning to our classrooms... to do what we love…to teach our students.

Again, thank you for your support.

Darrel Ganzert, Board Chair of School District 20, Kootenay Columbia seemed no less relieved to have what looked (pending province-wide ratification) like a done deal. He spoke with the Castlegar News the morning following the teachers’ vote.

“We’re certainly very pleased. We know the teachers have ratified and our own board has ratified, but it will take all school boards… a majority of them, and I don’t see a problem with that.

“But we’re very pleased that school is back in session and there’s been a collective agreement achieved. We’re really looking forward to the next six years, moving forward in a positive way and stressing all of the positive things our school system is able to accomplish, making the changes we need, to improve.”

Blazing sun and big smiles at Fall Fair Derek kaye Castlegar News

With the popcorn popping, the pizza baking, the horses jumping, hotrods humming and stars singing, the 19th Pass Creek Fall Fair was an event that proclaimed success.

The smiles and warm tummies proved it. With dogs behaving their best at the dog show, kids had the chance to go crazy digging dirt with the Dirty Diggers and their machines at the lower end of the fair. And after a few moments of trepidation, the kids, with the help of their adult apprentices, were swinging dirt around like there was no tomorrow.

Th entertainment was a fine display of Kootenay talent with country and bluegrass from the likes of The Blueberry Pickers and Stone Willie.

Hillbilly Trucker and Little Dave and the Blues Busters demonstrated the different styles of blues music. Saturday saw Two For Tripping as they wandered down melody lane and Nina Amelio teamed up with Yanive Feiner from Supercat Studios to deliver some acoustic renditions of the bluesy power pop off her recently released CD. Russel’s Blue Rose sang gospel tunes in the early Sunday morning.

It was a great family affair and communitybuilding experience. A feeling of welcomeness was readily apparent. Whether you were a Scottie’s School of Highland Dance dancer, a blacksmith, clown, a horse jumper, a bass player or the farmer who grew a prize winning pumpkin, you were all part of the broad range of culture in the Kootenays that comes together in one day to make the Pass Creek Fall Fair an award winning event that grabs broad recognition.

The Pass Creek Fairground has been under the long-term volunteer care of a dedicated couple on the verge of retirement. The Pass Creek Regional Exhibition Society, which organizes and is responsible for the fair, would like to see the Regional District hire paid caretakers to look after of the fairground. The society is worried that without caretakers the event might be in jeopardy.

A petition was circulated to gather signatures to show support for this proposal, and it will be given to the Regional District to pursue the matter.

With some luck and local political maneuvering the fall fair will hopefully be celebrating its 20th birthday next year with the same group of animal shenanigans and their human partners, larger then life vegetables and kids with smiles so broad that if you were a dentist you wouldn’t have to say, “Open wider please.”

time before it becomes a problem. Food conditioned bears lose their natural fear of human sights and sounds and may become dangerously brazen in their search for food. These bears are often destroyed as a result of this conflict cycle.

Wallace encourages residents to do an “attractant sweep” of their properties, taking a quick look to see if there are any potential wildlife attractants that could be more securely stored.

“Now is the time to be especially vigilant with things like garbage and birdseed to ensure your property isn’t contributing to human-wildlife conflict,” said Wallace. Reports of bears getting into garbage and other attractants have been picking up in the last couple of weeks and will escalate quickly if these attractants are left accessible.

For more information on local wildlife activity, contact Jenny Wallace at 1-250-365-8971 or castlegar@wildsafebc.com. You can also find updates on local wildlife activity on Facebook: WildSafeBC Castlegar.

Back to school, back to books Jim Sinclair Castlegar News

The expression “better late than never” seemed to apply on Monday, September 22 at Twin Rivers Elementary, and similar feelings were likely expressed across the province.

Principal Doug Hickey was noticed watching over a playground full of laughing, shouting children during lunch time.

Hickey appeared to have a certain serenity about him. The aura of contentment may have been dismissed as the imagination of the photographer, had the principal not commented on the atmosphere following intense negotiations

between teachers and government which had delayed the launch of the school year by two weeks. Another week had been missed prior to the summer break.

“The sight and the sound is so uplifting,” said the administrator. “We probably missed a couple of beats but we’re starting school today, I met with all the children… it’s been really positive.”

Hickey was well aware that each happy child on the school grounds also represented a relieved parent or guardian.

“I’m sure parents are pretty excited too,” he said. “They’ve worked hard in the last weeks, as far as providing child care,

keeping their kids engaged in some sort of academics. It’s just a terrific day for kids here. They don’t really worry about what happened over the last two weeks; they’re just ready to go.”

The excitement among the youngsters seemed obvious, but maybe it also had something to do with the long pause since school was let out last June. Whatever the case, it looked the principal and pupils were ready to “strike” the resolved labour dispute from their memories, have some fun and get down to learning.

“Everybody’s got a big smile on today,” said the principal, “and that’s really what it’s all about.”

A three-year time frame had been established around the time of the land donation, leaving about two years on the clock. Part of the task of getting things happening has been to assemble a qualified team and Lehbauer has recruited an important member. “We do have a consultant in place,� she said. “The Honourable Roger Simmons, who is working on getting capital funding for us. He was in politics for close to 30 years and was Canadian Consul-General in Seattle, so he certainly has all of the connections we need to get the larger amounts of funding.�

Beneficial projects are well worth the necessary procedures that come with them, even if there are a lot of them. “Of course it’s a long process,� Lehbauer continued.

It was just over a year ago the Castlegar Hospice Society received word that the civic government was prepared to provide it with some no-charge real estate. Vacant properties in question are located at 836 and 862 Eight Avenue. The local non-profit group received the news with a lot of gratitude. “Getting the land is huge,� said hospice society executive director Suzanne Lehbauer back in the summer of 2013. “We’ve always had the support of mayor Chernoff and council and this just huge. I’m so excited and this is overwhelming to me.�

Checking in with the director as the summer of 2014 drew to a close, the Castlegar News asked for an update. Orchestrating this sort of project is very complex and, as of September 22, Lehbauer said about a dozen funding applications were being considered by various potential supporters.

Needless to say the people involved in getting a stand-alone hospice house for Castlegar are keeping busy. “It’s the‌ ‘hurry up and wait,’â€? Lehbauer laughed. “But the end result will definitely

The night train noise

We empathize with local residents who may have been jolted awake by the newly scheduled night trains going though town this week.

Any change in a person’s schedule is best coped with if they have advance notice of the change. CP Rail had apparently informed our mayor, but issued no press release of its own. They’re in the business of moving freight, after all, and not likely to be losing any sleep over pubic relations concerns. One glance at the current bare-knuckle brawl the company has going with the City of Vancouver ought to indicate that any sort of concessions from it would be as hard-earned as they are unlikely.

Being around as long as it has been, having the history of being so instrumental in the building of the country, and enjoying special stature and privilege other companies can only dream of, makes CP Rail a most daunting opponent in any kind of contest.

Kudos to Councillor Heaton-Sherstobitoff for having gone “toe-to-toe” with a CP communications person over the issue this week. It was a plucky move and allowed her to blow off a little steam — she does, after all, live just a stone’s toss from the rails, herself.

If CP Rail is cynical and weary after more than a century of dealing with complaints along its more than 22,000 kilometres of track, it’s no surprise. They’ll do what they’re going to do, and it looks like they’ll do so, unshackled by the yoke of compassion for the public.

In closing, it should also be suggested that the public needs to be aware of what it means to live close to a railroad.

We want to hear from you.

Beauty, what is it?

According to Wikipedia, beauty is defined as: “A characteristic of a person, animal, place, object, or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure or satisfaction.”

Therefore if we accept that perception is merely a matter of interpretation then the next step is to acknowledge that beauty, as they say, truly is in the eye of the beholder.

I recently watched a video produced by BuzzFeed called “Photoshopping Real Women into Cover Models.”

In the video, four women agreed to allow themselves to be professionally made up complete with meticulously applied makeup and perfectly coiffed hair. They were then professionally photographed.

These four women are what society, for the most part, would deem as being average. There was nothing that stood out that would elevate them to society’s general definition of beautiful. In fact, if one walked past one of these women it Theresa Hodge Office Manager

is likely that five minutes later her face wouldn’t be remembered.

After the photo shoot the women were then, with their permission, photoshopped to perfection.

Every imperfection, right down to freckles and laugh lines were quickly and magically eradicated thanks to modern software.

I think it might be fairly safe to say that most people, at some stage in their life, daydream about that sort of perfection and what it might be like. But reality sets in and we know that life is not about runway looks, more money than one could ever spend in a lifetime or other such frivolities.

My mother was a beautiful young woman. She truly had movie star looks; silky, creamy skin and beautiful legs to die for. As life trudged on the years took their toll. That flawless skin gradually gave way to wrinkles and those gorgeous legs grew varicose veins. My mother mourned the passing of her youth and thus

her beauty.

I well remember one time when visiting her, I stood styling her hair as she gazed into the mirror.

Almost with surprise she said, “All I see looking back at me is an old woman with wrinkles.”

I was appalled. Was that really all she could see? Had society been so harsh and demanding of beauty that my mother saw nothing else but that in her face?

When I looked at her, sure, I saw those wrinkles, but I also saw beauty. Her bone structure was still stunning and her eyes… they are hard to describe.

There was a depth to them that was quite remarkable and their colouring was quite unusual. Where she saw a broken down body I saw magnificence. After all, those eyes had looked at me my whole life. Yes, beyond the wrinkles I saw real and true beauty.

I occasionally think about that moment and feel sadness for my mother that in the end she placed

a good deal of her value on her face and its perfection. It makes me ponder a society which idealizes such things. I do, however, believe we are progressing.

Such things as the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty which honours individuality in every woman no matter what size, colour or age she is. That campaign came about in 2004 after a survey indicated that only two per cent of women considered themselves beautiful. How sad is that?

Thanks to such campaigns, I do believe those efforts are working. The four women mentioned above finally got to see their perfectly photoshopped image and each one of them was repulsed by the cookie cutter, falsified beauty saying they preferred their natural looks right down to their very imperfections.

It is those imperfections, they said, which make them individuals. To them, that individuality is worth more than all the beauty in the world.

Statement in Parliament by MP Atamanenko Mr. Speaker, the tragedy continues to unfold in Iraq.

The Bush invasion of 2003 has left a toll of hundreds of thousands dead, millions of people displaced and infrastructure destroyed. According to an editorial in the Chicago Tribune, if Bush and the neo-conservatives had not pushed to topple Saddam, the Islamic State would not have

been born.

So here we have it. Bush created this mess and the U.S. is now asking other countries for help. No Arab country has offered boots on the ground, and Turkey has refused to let coalition warplanes fly bombing missions from its territory.

As Jeffrey Simpson stated in today’s Globe and Mail: “The West, once again, has stepped into these mine-

fields without having properly identified the nature of the struggle, the ends sought by military intervention and the means necessary to bring those ends about.”

Our troops should only be put into harm’s way as a very last resort. The terms of the current mission are unclear.

Deployment of our military to a war zone requires full debate and a vote in Parliament.

Canadians deserve better.

Editor: It really is unfortunate that the City of Castlegar and its representatives seem to feel that to misinform the public is acceptable.

The Connors Road Pathway project has turned into something that it was not supposed to be and what it has become.

The City of Castlegar and

its representatives would like us to believe that if we wait until it is finished it will look beautiful. It will be a welcome addition to the neighborhood and the community at large.

One thing that I learned from working throughout Canada was a very apt expression. “You can dress a pig in as many clothes as you

want. But, a pig is still a pig!”

I’m not sure whether we, the citizens of Castlegar, were misinformed or misled by the City of Castlegar or its representatives regarding the Connors Road Pathway.

Whichever it was, those actions were not acceptable.

John Shirley, Connors Road Castlegar, B.C.

Editor: I’m getting tired of all the negative focus on the Polley Lake tailings pond breach.

Can someone please show me an industry, any industry, that has a 100 per cent perfect record with no accidents or problems to speak of? Accidents are part of progress.

And without progress, where would we be? We would still be chasing down our dinner with stone-tipped spears instead of topping up parking metres from our cellphones while we dine at a favourite restaurant.

Risk and reward are an in-

herent part of progress. They underpin our entire economic system. The mere fact that risk is involved in progress means that there is no 100 per cent: At some point, something will go wrong regardless of the precautions taken. Even the rocket scientists at NASA don’t have a 100 per cent record. They’ve experienced all manner of unforeseen events, right up to and including exploding space shuttles and rocket misfires!

We can’t let fear stop us from balancing and managing risks and benefits. And

we can’t stop extracting the metals and minerals from the ground that are essential to our way of life. When I look around at the material goods we take for granted and make use of every day, and the metals that are essential to these goods, I see the positive side of the risks we have carefully balanced with the benefits. So let’s not get mired in the negatives.

There is much that is positive to be found if we just stop for a moment and put things into proper perspective.

Editor: Wow, thank you Castlegar!

I am so proud of my community and the support it gave us this weekend in raising money for the Bate family. We put it out there last week that we wanted to raise some money for the family but never did I think we would get the kind of

support that we did. In the two days at the Dirty Digger For A Day event. We raised a whopping $1,934.65. Remember folks, that was raised in eight hours!

After Dirty Diggers matched it, we were able to hand over $3,869.30 to the Bates.

Thank you to our sponsors:

Brandt Tractor, Interfor, Power Paving, United Rentals, Sandman Hotel, Castle Theatre, Boston Pizza, Shoppers Drug Mart, The Source, Nero Enterprises Inc., Racoon Carpentry and HTR Designs.

And to my crew of guys and the city workers who came out to help.

Dear Constituents, This fall the citizens of Kootenay West have the ability to participate in a number of public consultations and services. I wanted to make sure that all of these opportunities were highlighted to have as much participation as possible from our region.

Each fall, the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services holds province-wide public consultations on the next provincial budget. The Committee holds public hearings in 17 communities across the province. British Columbians are invited to attend hearings or to register to make a presentation to the committee on how they feel the Province should spend money and on what services. They will be in Castlegar on Monday, September 29 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Kootenay Room of the Sandman Hotel. If you would like to make a presentation to the committee or are a part of a group or agency that would like to present please call 1-877-428-8337 to register.

You can also email financecommittee@leg.bc.ca. Make sure to include the name of the presenter and your orga-

nization’s name and contact information. For more information please visit www.leg. bc.ca.

On Wednesday, October 1, 2014, the Office of the Ombudsperson will be visiting the area. The Ombudsperson can assist any constituent who believes that a provincial government ministry or public agency has treated them unfairly. The role of the Ombudsperson office is to investigate complaints to determine whether public agencies have acted fairly and reasonably and whether their actions and decisions were consistent with relevant legislation, policies and procedures. You need to call ahead of time to book an appointment to discuss your complaint. The staff will be in both Castlegar and Trail on Wednesday, October 1. Please call 1-800-567-3247 to book and visit www.ombudsman. bc.ca for more information.

On Wednesday, October 8, the B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission will be in the Kootenay West constituency asking for public input on the area and boundaries of provincial electoral districts.

This is an opportunity to participate in this important

process. The B.C. Electoral Commission is an independent and non-partisan group that makes decisions regarding electoral boundaries in the province. The commission will be in Trail on October 8 at the Best Western Plus hotel at 10:30 a.m.. There is no pre-registration required for an in-person submission.

You can also make a submission online or through email.

All of this information can be found at www.bc-ebc.ca.

Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) is hosting drop-in community workshops in communities around the basin from September to January. The CBT want your input on how the trust can support residents and communities in the future. They are renewing their strategic priorities to celebrate their 20th anniversary.

Please visit the “Our Trust, Our Future” website — www. ourtrustourfuture.cbt.org — for more information and the dates and locations of these workshops.

I hope many of you can take advantage of these opportunities and participate.

Sincerely, Katrine Conroy, MLA Kootenay West

Castlegar firm lands lucrative Creston contract

Provides Service in Robson, Brilliant and Ootischenia for less!

Improvements to the Pine Street-Railway Boulevard intersection with Highway 3 are moving ahead, with the award of the major construction works contract to Maglio Industries Ltd. of Castlegar.

The intersection at Pine Street and Railway Boulevard will be realigned to create a cross intersection and traffic signals will be installed. This will improve safety for motorists travelling on Highway 3 through Creston, and improve access to and from the highway for Creston residents.

Construction is scheduled to begin in early spring 2015 with completion anticipated by the end of June 2015. The total project value is approximately $5.4 million, with funding coming from the Province of B.C. and the Town of Creston.

Q

When choosing a computer consultant, is the best option the one who offers the lowest price?

A

A cheap price usually means a cheap job. Really good technicians do NOT work cheap because they are in high demand just like every other professional service category. The only technicians that will work cheap are those that are just starting and they are grossly inexperienced.

Hiring cheap can end up costing you more because: 1. They improperly diagnose problems, which means you’re paying them to fix the WRONG thing and they STILL won’t resolve your problems.

2. They could take 3 to 5 times as long to do the same repair an experienced technician could fix quickly. Again, you’re paying for those extra hours.

3. They could do MORE damage, costing you more money and downtime.

With your client data, accounting records, e-mail and other critical data at stake, do you REALLY want the lowest-priced shop working on your machine?

That leaves me with a final note: When choosing a computer consultant, make sure they offer a moneyback guarantee.

In my view, a good consulting firm should be accountable for their services and fixing things RIGHT. If you aren’t pleased with a job that was done, they should (at a minimum) make it right; and if they simply cannot resolve an issue to YOUR satisfaction, you shouldn’t get stuck with the bill.

Notary Public

Introducing our new advice columnist

Miss Sensibility

What services does a BC Notary Public offer?

Almost everyone has used the services of a Notary Public at one time or an other. Usually, though, they aren’t clear on the breadth of services we are able to provide.

Our duties have evolved, somewhat, over the years and we continue to be governed by the Notaries Act of British Columbia.

Below is a partial list of the services BC Notaries provide: • •

Powers of Attorney Proof of Identity for Travel Purposes • Representation Agreements • Statutory Declarations • Wills Preparation • Affidavits for All Documents required at a Public Registry within BC • Authorization of Minor Child Travel • Certified True Copies of • Documents • Estate Planning • Execution/Authentications of International Documents • Health Care Declarations • Insurance Loss Declarations • Letters of Invitation for Foreign Travel • Manufactured Home Transfers • Mortgage Refinancing • Documentation • Notarizations/Attestations of Signatures Ask you can see there is more to it than just stamping papers!!

Sometimes it’s difficult for clients to find the time to get their notarial needs addressed, due to scheduling conflicts with ordinary office hours. That can be overcome as I offer flexible scheduling that can include after hours and/ or weekend appointments. Home & hospital visits are always available.

While the main focus of my work lies in that of Estate Planning and Notarization, I also offer services in Real Estate conveyance in association with another Notary office. The goal is to offer a higher level of client service where we come to the client and on their schedule.

If we can assist you please give me a call or have your Real Estate Agent contact me for more information.

I look forward to working with you!!!

Highway 3 as a major trade and tourism route across southern B.C.,” said Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone of the announcement. “This partnership with the Town of Creston to upgrade the Pine and Railway intersection will improve safety for all Highway 3 users travelling in, through and around the community.”

Minister of Energy and Mines, and MLA for Kootenay East, Bill Bennett also weighed in on the occasion.

“Highway 3 is a vital link for communities throughout the Kootenays,” said Bennett. “This improvement project is not just welcome news to residents in Creston, travellers on the highway will benefit from improved safety and better access to the Crowsnest.”

Dear Miss Sensibility, I really enjoyed the column you wrote that included a couple of your favourite recipes. I am always looking for new things to try and with Thanksgiving approaching, I was wondering if you have any favourite holiday recipes that you’d be willing to share? -Having 12 for dinner

Dear Having Twelve for dinner, Preparing holiday meals is something I truly enjoy. Thanksgiving is one of my favourites as it is such a great time to spend with family and reflect on all of the blessings in our lives. The star of the meal is of course, the turkey. I would love to share my recipe, but it is top secret, and I would not want anyone in town to be able to make a turkey as good as mine. However, I will share my method for ensuring my turkey is moist and flavourful. Carefully loosen the skin all over the turkey. After softening a stick of butter, mix in some seasoned salt and pepper. Spread 2/3 of the butter between the skin and the meat. Place fresh herbs like parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme between the skin and meat also. Rub remaining butter over the outside of the skin. This is best done the night before, but also works at the last minute.

I will give you a recipe for a salad my family loves. I am not sure if this should really be called a salad, because it tastes somewhat like dessert, but we call it a salad so we can justify eating it with a meal and then still having dessert later.

This has become a staple at every holiday meal since the first time I made it.

Raspberry Jello Salad 1large box raspberry jello 2 c. hot water 1 c. cold water 16 oz. frozen raspberries

8 oz. Cool Whip 8 oz. cream cheese 1/3 c. sugar

Combine jello and hot water. Stir until dissolved. Stir in cold water. Add raspberries. Cool until mixture is partially set up. Blend cream cheese and sugar, fold in Cool Whip. Gently combine the two mixtures. Refrigerate 3 hours or until set.

I hope you enjoy your holiday meal Sensibly yours,

Literacy impacts lives Thousands of British Columbians do not possess the literacy skills needed to succeed, impacting everything from healthcare to employment.

In British Columbia, 40 per cent of adults have difficulty reading a newspaper, filling out a work application form, reading a bus schedule, or understanding a lease. Close to 50 per cent of adults do not have the skills necessary to calculate a tip, create a budget or understand credit card interest rates.

Even more concerning is the fact that almost four in 10 youths aged 15 have insufficient reading skills and 16 per cent of B.C. youths are not graduating from high school. These statistics have serious implications on society, as literacy rates impact every aspect of our lives: healthcare, education, crime rates, employment and economic status.

This month, Black Press and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) are joining forces to raise funds and awareness about the importance of literacy with the 4th Annual Reach a Reader campaign. The

campaign will culminate with community leaders and volunteers hitting the streets across the Columbia Basin and Boundary to distribute special editions of local papers and collect donations in support of community-based literacy programs.

The Reach a Reader campaign coincides with Decoda Literacy Solutions’ inaugural Literacy is Life Campaign — a province-wide fundraising and awareness campaign designed to create a new, modern understanding of literacy and raise funds to ensure that communitybased literacy programs across British Columbia can support the people who depend on them.

CBAL’s executive director, Ali Wassing, says “We have been gratified to see the high level of support and enthusiasm for CBAL’s annual partnership with Black Press on the Reach a Reader campaign. This fall, in tandem with the launch of Decoda’s Literacy is Life provincial campaign and the hugely successful Raise-aReader campaign in the Lower Mainland we look forward to a banner year for literacy.”

Bible truths continued from page A5

Every New Testament epistle was addressed to the members of a local church or to key leaders in a church. Throughout the New Testament the assumption is always the same: that the people of God are faithfully gathering together in a local assembly where the Word of God is being taught.

That unified gathering — not just the invisible worldwide church, but the local, visible congregation — is at the heart of Christianity.

Sadly, many churches today have felt a need to compromise truth and standards in order to appear more in sync with the culture. In their

attempt to look relevant they have become irrelevant. A church should feel timeless, not trendy.

In a world where lives are being tossed about by a current of constant change, people have the need to connect with something enduring and firm. I believe the church is designed to meet that need by representing an eternal kingdom and ageless truth with no need to imitate the culture. I don’t think a church should be old-fashioned, as in 50 years ago but timeless, as in 2,000 years ago. Come and find that reassuring foundation of timeless truth and the fellowship of others whose lives have been touched by the love of the Lord Jesus Christ.

A change in the. . . complex Jim Sinclair Castlegar News

A major upgrading of amenities has been arranged at the Castlegar Recreation Centre; at the pool to be exact.

Thanks to a sevenmember partnership, an electric, adjustable change table has been purchased which will be a great help for physically challenged pool patrons and their caregivers.

The Castlegar Selkirk Lions Club was instrumental in getting the $4,000 item into the complex for the benefit of local users. The table has actually been in operation at the pool since June, but with certain other events grabbing a high profile, the official unveiling was postponed until September 16.

On rollers, the unit is easily movable and its adaptable height can

greatly ease the production of getting ready for the pool, or leaving the pool.

Stepping up to the donating plate along with the Lions were: • The Carpenters’ Union Local 2300; • School District No. 20 Kootenay Columbia; • The Regional District of Central Kootenay; • The West Kootenay Toy Run; • The Pulp and Paperworkers of Canada, and, • CUPE Local 2262.

“Today is bringing awareness to the excellent community partnership,” said RDCK aquatic/fitness programmer Chris Briggeman as folks arrived for a photo op. “We are just going to display the table and show how it’s used. There are about 18 school-aged chil-

Preventing gang activity in BC A rockin’ good time Expertly secured by Bob Sawyer of Rossland, Avery Leeworthy of Robson takes a zipline ride during September 20 festival staged by the Association of West Kootenay Rock Climbers.

Cooperation and commitment by C of C Jim Sinclair Castlegar News

Representatives of chambers of commerce from across the southeast converged on Cranbrook early this month for a regional meeting. In the opinion of the Castlegar chamber’s executive director Tammy Verigin-Burk, the experience was inspiring and productive. Also making the trip east was local chamber president Stuart Ady. Personnel from Rossland, Trail, Castlegar, Nelson, Cranbrook, Fernie, Sparwood, Elkford, Radium and Golden populated the get-together.

The early September event was a follow-up to a session held about six months ago.

“We were looking to see if there was value in all the East and West Kootenay chambers meeting on a semi-annual or annual basis,” said Verigin-Burk, “so we could really work together on issues we’re all facing.” Also to be determined during this kind of forum, as organizers decided, would be whether there are issues of a provincial nature that the southeast

chambers could put their collective weight behind. “… that we could actually send in our recommendations,” as Verigin-Burk put it during a September 23 interview.

One of the critical issues facing our neighbours to the east, and quite possibly our own communities before too long, pertains to foreign workers. The Castlegar contingent heard, for example, of tourism-related businesses being hurt by the challenge of finding enough employees.

“They need a lot of help,” said Verigin Burk, “and sometimes it’s seasonal.”

Airport access was another key topic addressed by the group of about 20 attendees, specifically, making every effort to ensure this area is as accessible as possible.

“What can we do to support initiatives that are already on the go?”

Perhaps the biggest issue tackled by the brainstorming group related to the so-called “trades-drain” from across the region, how to counteract the exodus of important, qualified workers to the allure of lucrative northern employ-

ment.

“It’s a real tough one,” Verigin-Burk agreed. Another part that goes along with that is young folks, entering the workforce, are joining the northern shift. “It’s not just the journeymen tradespeople,” she pointed out. “It’s people right from the get-go.”

Steps such as government recruitment measures, like the effort made to attract nurses some years back, are being promoted by the collective regional chambers of commerce, described Verigin-Burk.

All things considered, the journey and the involvement were well worth it according to to the Castlegar chamber’s executive director.

“I know we all found incredible value in the meetings,” she said of the sessions.

“The sharing of information,” said Verigin when asked for a closing comment on what inspired her in Cranbrook. “Any idea that comes up, someone has probably had it before. So rather than re-inventing the wheel, we can share resources and great ideas.”

▾ MYTH: Gangs are only a “lower-class”, ethnic, or male problem: Reality: Gang members in B.C. come from every socio-economic background and all ethnicities. While racial, ethnic, and gender composition can vary by locality or type of gang, gangs are often as diverse as our communities and many do not restrict who joins as long as they can make money for the gang.

The fall session of lessons is currently underway and full. ALTRA will offer another session of lessons in the spring. They are always looking for volunteers and donations to subsidize the costs.

Whether it is physical, emotion or mental differences that they have.”

Domino and Khadeez were at the Pass Creek Fall Fair last weekend to greet the community and raise awareness about the therapeutic riding program. The auction lasts until October First and payments or donations can be made through PayPal or credit card.

Castlegar Skating Club, STARSkaters

Brand new blade schedule begins The skating season is underway and the Castlegar Skating Club is proud to provide two nationally recognized skating programs: CanSkate and STARSkate.

The dynamic skating programs are led by certified, professional coaches Rachel Stewart and Andrea Poznikoff. Their combined experience and enthusiasm provide a solid foundation for all skating club members.

CanSkate is the entry level learn-to-skate program in which children learn basic skating skills.

The newly revised program provides group lessons in a fun, safe and positive environment. Sessions are kept lively and energetic through the use of teaching aides, music and a wide variety of activities. Children progress at their own rate through the CanSkate levels, earning badges and receiving progress reports. CanSkate prepares skaters for virtually all ice sports such as figure skating

and hockey. CanSkate runs every Wednesday starting October 15 until March 4, from 4:45 p.m. to 5:30 p.m..

STARSkate is an advanced program providing skaters who have completed CanSkate levels with the opportunity to further develop fundamental figure skating techniques in different disciplines.

Lessons are given in group and private formats. As skaters progress they have the opportunity to take Skate Canada tests and participate in competitions, earning badges and awards in recognition for their hard work and self-discipline.

For fun and recreation or for more advanced figure skating training, the Castlegar Skating Club provides programs to meet the young skater’s needs.

For more information or to print out a registration form, please visit: www.castlegarskatingclub.wikispaces.com.

The Castlegar Rebels lost a nailbiter on Friday, September 19 to the Spokane Braves. The score was 4-3 in their first home game in regular season play.

“We came out sleeping and Spokane capitalized on it,” as captain Aaron Petten described it. The Braves scored less than a minute into the game and then another two goals to create a three goal lead.

Petten scored with seven seconds left in the first period before the Rebels took the intermission to reorganize and come out for the second and third periods as a much tighter, disciplined hockey team.

Out-shooting the Braves by 25 per cent in the second and third, they were able to bridge the scoring gap to one.

Whether by luck or talent, however, the Braves goalie Patrick Rd Kasper was able to keep the puck Knob out of his net to help Spokane on its way to the win.

Up-to-date information regarding the Hugh L. Keenleyside Dam is available 24 hours a day by calling BC Hydro’s toll-free number at 1 877 924 2444. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Sabrina Locicero at 250 365 4565.

Saturday in Creston the Rebels earned a 3-2 overtime win. Goal scorers included Konnor Madsen, Bryan Lubin and Petten with the winner.

The Rebels could not keep up with the Kimberley Dynamiters as they continued on their three game win streak. The Dynamiters’ Sawyer Hunt scored once and had two assists, becoming the top player in points for the game. Kimberley won 7-4 on Sunday afternoon, September 21, the last day of summer at the Castlegar Complex.

The Dynamiters got on the scoreboard three and half minutes into the game when Rebels goalie Patrick Zubick was caught out of his net fielding a pass to a teammate.

With momentum in their favour the Dynamiters blasted in three Knight Rd more goals in quick succession and were up 4-0 midway through the first period.

Obituaries and Memorials Peter William Schaprickyn August 20, 1926 - September 18, 2014 Peter passed away peacefully at Talarico Place in Castlegar, where he was a resident for a few years. Peter was born in Glade to Bill and Anne Saprikin.

Peter was predeceased by his parents, his wife Lucille of 51 years, daughter Marion, brother Fred, sister Mary and great-grandson Kalen.

On May 22, 1954, Peter married Lucille and moved to Blewett, where they raised 7 children. He worked for CPR on the welding gang for 12 years. Then went to work locally in the forest industry until his retirement. In the late 1970s, they moved to Brilliant where you could find him working in his garden, planting fruit trees or raising ducks and geese in his spare time. He also loved picking huckleberry and mushrooms or something outdoors. We will always remember him as a hard worker.

We love and miss him very much.

The family would like to thank Dr. Merritt, nurses and staff at Talarico Place for all their care and humour, also thank Alternative Funeral and Cremation for their services.

A Celebration of Life for Dad will take place at a future date.

Donations can be made to The Alzheimer’s or Dementia Foundation of BC.

Florence (Phyllis) Zaytsoff August 23, 1936 August 27, 2014 The family of Florence (Phyllis) Zaytsoff is sad to announce her passing on August 27, 2014.

She is survived by her sons William (Maxine) and Lawrence (Katherine); her daughter Natalie (Paul) Zeabin; seven grandchildren: Christopher, Megan (Brian), Faron, Kristina (Dustin), Nicholas, Laura and Sarah; and two great-grandchildren: Maxwell and Julian, all of whom she loved dearly.

Cremation has taken place and a private Memorial Service was held, with interment at Park Memorial Cemetery. The Castlegar Funeral Chapel was in care of arrangements.

The family would like to thank those who offered support, prayers and other acts of kindness.

A heartfelt thank-you to Dr. Vasil and the doctors, nurses and staff at the Castlegar and District Community Health Centre for all their loving care over the years. Also, thank-you to the devoted staff at the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital for all of their care and compassion.

Treasured Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother and Friend, Florence will be sadly missed and so lovingly remembered by her family and all those whose lives she touched.

Gertrude Helen Konkin

Dan Swinarchuk

March 20, 1922 September 18, 2014 It is with great love and much sorrow that we announce the passing of our dear mother, Gertrude Konkin, at the age of 92 at Talarico Place Care Centre, Castlegar, B.C. Gertie, the youngest child of Annie and Harry Kanigan, was born on March 20, 1922 in Kamsack, Saskatchewan.

In 1935, the family moved to Perry Siding where Gertie resided until she married Fred Konkin and moved to Slocan Park in 1942. In 1989, they moved to Ootishenia and finally to Castlegar in 1996.

Raising four daughters, farming and growing a huge garden kept Gertie and Fred extremely busy. However, this did not prevent her from her love of singing in traditional Doukhobor choirs, at USCC prayer meetings and community celebrations. Gertie enjoyed singing duets with her friend, Nora Laktin with whom she produced an album entitled “The Love of God” in 1968. She also enjoyed singing with her brothers.

December 25, 1956 September 28, 2011 We hold you tightly in our hearts And there you will remain Life has gone on without you But will never be the same Remembering you is easy, We do it every day Losing you is the heartache That never goes away.

All our Love Cheryl, Nateena, Trent

Erin Marie Marsh (nee Hall)

Gertie’s family was always her priority and it was important to her to keep in touch regularly. Her grandchildren were especially precious to her. We all will cherish the memories that she has left us. She always enjoyed entertaining and socializing - keeping in touch with past acquaintances and making new friends. Gertie was an active lifetime member of the USCC and throughout all her years she was sustained by a strong Christian faith.

Gertie enjoyed growing and preserving fruit and vegetables for display at numerous fall fairs in the Kootenay area. This resulted in her receiving many grand aggregate trophies and awards some of which are on display at the Castlegar museum.

Gertie will be remembered for her care of and concern for others, kindness, generosity, thoughtfulness, hospitality and zest for life. In spite of her illness, she never lost these qualities nor the ability to give good advice and encouragement. Gertie was a great cook and could easily provide a meal for any number of unexpected guests at any time. She also enjoyed sewing, knitting, crocheting and quilting.

Gertie and Fred enjoyed travelling. They frequented local hot springs (often with their camper van) and visited their daughters in Kamloops and Mission. International trips included Mexico, Cuba, Russia, Hawaii, Texas and California.

Left to remember her warmly are her daughters Anne (Ernie), Sharon, Gail (Merv), Lou (Al); grandchildren Suzanna, Brad, Becky, Hank, Tara, Jeff and Todd; grandchildren Avery, Tyler, Jacob and Aiden; and many nieces and nephews.

Gertie was predeceased by her brother Pete in 2011, brother Nick in 2008, grandson Bob in 2007, husband Fred in 2004, mother Annie in 1972, father Harry in 1953 and brother Fred in 1943.

Special thanks to all the staff at Talarico Place for their exceptional care and support, Dr. Merritt, relatives and friends that visited during her illness, Castlegar Funeral Chapel, the singers at the service, the cooks that will provide lunch and the grave diggers that will prepare the final resting place.

Funeral services will be held at the Castlegar Funeral Chapel at 9:00 a.m., Thursday, September 25, 2014 with internment at Slocan Park Cemetery. Followed by a lunch at Slocan Park Community Hall. Jordan Wren of Castlegar Funeral Chapel has been entrusted with arrangements.

with brain cancer.

It is with great sadness we announce Erin’s passing.

Erin passed away on Friday, September 19 in the comfort of the Vernon hospice after a long battle

Erin was born in Castlegar B.C. on August 1, 1960. She attended Selkirk College and then went on to BCIT where she graduated in the field of Sonography. She worked for many years in the health field at VGH, St. Paul’s and Campbell River hospitals. Erin then married Dr. Ian Marsh in 1994 and had two lovely children (Patrick and Erica).

Erin was an adventurous soul and lived to travel, exploring many countries with friends and family. Her other passions were skiing, biking, camping, hiking and a good book, but her main focus in life was raising her two wonderful children.

She is survived by her loving children Erica and Patrick, her mother Ruth Hall, brother Pat Hall (Luba) and nephews Eric and Jeffrey.

She was predeceased by her father, Dr. John Hall.

The celebration of life will be held Saturday, September 27 at 2 PM at the Anglican church in Vernon. The family is most grateful to the doctors, nurses and staff at Vernon Hospice and her loyal friends and family who helped support Erin through the last two years.

A PLACE TO REMEMBER LOVED ONES

Peter will be remembered by his children Lavern (Jim) McDougall, Pat Schaprickyn, Ron (Angela) Schaprickyn, Verna (Wayne) Lebedev, Mike (Lori) Schaprickyn, and Kathy (Gordon) Rogers, his 11 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren, sister Anne, brother Ed, step-brother Nick and Bill Sapriken, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

In loving memory

Sutco – Driving Towards a Cure

At Truxpo 2014 (September 20-21 in Abbotsford), Sutco proudly launched their most recent cancer fighting initiative, a beautiful pink 2015 Kenworth T680 called Pink Power. As their own take on the “Driving Towards a Cure” slogan, this is by far their biggest fundraising initiative to date.

Pink Power has never looked so good!

“We have been supporting numerous cancer fighting events for years with the Sutco ‘Driving Towards a Cure’s logan,” said President of Sutco, Chris Sutherland. “Through these events we’ve had a tremendous amount of success fostering awareness, raising funds for research and supporting those with this terrible disease and their families.”

Unfortunately, cancer is not just an event; it’s an everyday occurrence for all those affected by it. With that thought in mind, and in an effort to do as much they can, Sutco has made “Driving Towards a Cure” an everyday campaign. Over the next three years Pink Power will travel the highways in Southern B.C. and Northern WA, ID and MT. Every kilometre traveled will generate funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. This campaign will raise approximately $70,000 over three years with sponsorships from Atco Wood Products, Inland Kenworth/Parker Pacific, Interfor, Kal Tire, Kenworth, Magnum, Tolko, Tycrop, and Zellstoff Celgar all of which are contributing one cent for every kilometre travelled by Pink Power.
