Started about a year ago, Communications and Special Projects Coordinator for Kootenay Association for Science and Technology (KAST), Andrew Zwicker, pitched the idea to begin podcasts highlighting businesses in the Kootenays. Called, “You can do that here!” and modeled after Entrepreneur on Fire John Lee Dumas’ podcasts where host Dumas began interviewing successful and inspiring entrepreneurs, Andrew realized the potential for showcasing the great talent that exists in the Kootenays.

With a focus on Kootenay-related or connected science and technology-based businesses, nine episodes have been launched with no indica-

tion of slowing down; there are four or five episodes that are waiting and ready to go.

Podcasts are not new to the internet, with the term actually originating from radio broadcasts to an iPod, but Andrew says they “seem to be new to the Kootenays.” Podcasts are typically 30-40 minutes long and tend to lean towards the interviewer-interviewee style but may take on a variety of styles or forms. They are radio-model based and can loosely be described as verbal or audio blogs, with podcasts released on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. KAST has opted for a weekly release and they can be found posted on their website www.kast.com/youcandothathere, on iTunes (free download), and distributed throughout their networks.

T

Already, “You can do that here!” has garnered 400 regular listeners with about half of those listeners coming from outside the region, such as Vancouver, Seattle and down to the Silicone Valley.

When asked what the purpose of these podcasts are, Andrew answers simply, “To show of the great talent in the Kootenays.” He continues, the intention is to provide a resource for upcoming entrepreneurs (or, as he has keyed the term, “wannapreneurs”) and start-up businesses but it’s also to “anyone, anywhere who loves a good, small town success story.” Andrew’s interview style during the podcast is low-key and casual, creating an opportunity for the interviewee to tell their story in their own words. These stories allow for businesses to share their knowl-

edge and experiences, what inspires them, a general conversation about how their business became successful and a rapid-fire Q & A that covers everything from which app or website they can’t live without, to favourite book, to the best advice ever given. Through these specific stories, KAST hopes to engage new business ideas that may be floating out there, promote the Kootenays as a great place to come and do business and to provide inspiration to others considering the jump to entrepreneurship.

For more information on KAST and their business services, please visit www.kast.com. If you are a science or technology-based business and want to share your experience, contact Andrew Zwicker at Andrew@kast.com.

One year after students in Grades 10 to 12 were transferred to J.L Crowe Secondary School from Rossland, Grade 9 students from Rossland Summit School have joined them.

Numbers for student enrolment in School District 20 (SD 20) were released for the 20142015 school year at Monday’s school board meeting in Trail, showing the enrolment numbers were zero for Grade 9 at RSS. Bill Ford, assistant superintendent for SD 20, says all of the students who would be going into Grade 9 this year at RSS have been transferred to Crowe, giving the high school 23 more students, but still less than the board predicted last year. “ Tw e n t y - t h r e e Grade 9s left and as a result, RSS has no Grade 9s enrolled this year,” he said, adding that the curriculum won’t change for the remaining students.

“The same curriculum will still be delivered (to Grade 8 students). We staffed the school so they could run a middle school program with elec-

tives. Currently, on the books, RSS is a (kindergarten) to Grade 9 school; they just aren’t enrolling Grade 9s.”

Transferring the Grade 9 students to Crowe was a multistep process, to make sure the students will be successful in their new school.

“One of the criteria that happens with a transfer request is that we make sure there is room,” said Ford. “With secondary school transfer requests, not only do we make sure there is room, but we make sure the school can provide a meaningful program for the child.

Once that work is taken care of, then the transfer is approved.”

Monday’s school board meeting also saw a report on the current student enrolment numbers across the entire district. According to SD 20 superintendent, Greg Luterbach, because of the teachers’ strike, the numbers are still not concrete.

“Normally, by the end of September, we are all revved up and getting ready to finalize our numbers,” he said. “But, as we all know, this year is not a typical year, so these num-

bers are from after three days of school.

They are still pretty green.”

Currently, the school board has enrolled 60 students less than what was predicted based on numbers from the 2013-2014 school year. Luterbach says the lower enrolment numbers won’t affect any board funding.

“Given the fact that we are in funding protection, if we have less students than we predicted, we won’t get less money from the ministry,” he said.

“We are in that state of funding protection where we already get a minimum amount of funding, so if we don’t reach our targets, we don’t lose funding and we won’t cut staff.”

As of September 25, SD 20 has 3,543 students enrolled in the traditional “brick and mortar” schools, according to Luterbach, with the Kootenay Columbia Learning Centre (KCLC) enrolling 139 students in alternate education programs this year.

“We knew that we were going to down some already,” he said. “But things like adults (at KCLC) will get factored in

over the next couple weeks.”

The board has to submit their enrolment numbers to the Ministry of Education later than the usual September 30 deadline, as in other school years.

Luterbach says a more solid enrolment number will be submitted to the government by October 24, with an official head count on ‘snapshot day’ on October 17.

Twentythree Grade 9s left and as a result, RSS has no Grade 9s enrolled this year.

To see the full enrolment and student transfer reports, visit www.sd20.bc.ca.

The next regular board meeting for SD 20 is on October 27 at 7 p.m. at Stanley Humphries Secondary School in Castlegar.

Our view

Most important election

Finally! After almost two months of guessing, predicting and analyzing, the deadline for candidates in the 2014 BC municipal election is almost here.

On Friday, at 4 p.m. prospective candidates will no longer be allowed to file their nomination papers. That means at 4:01 p.m., voters in all areas of BC will finally know who is running and for what political position.

Following that are five weeks of crazy fun, also known as the election campaign.

That means all-candidates meetings, photoops and plenty of promises.

While federal and provincial elections seem to get all the glory, local elections actually have the most impact on the common person’s life.

Think about it.

Federal foreign policy may be interesting and provincial budget balancing is also important, but it doesn’t normally impact you as much as changes to your property taxes or alterations to your garbage pick-up.

The people you elect on November 15 have a direct effect on your daily lives. They have the power to raise your property taxes, to decide whether to pave a road or allow you to build an extension to your home.

Voters get to choose who will make important decisions about their children’s education and to decide who will be their voice in the community.

It’s a big responsibility and an obligation to take seriously.

Community newspapers also have a huge role in civic elections. While the Vancouver-based media outlets may cover some of the outlying areas — Surrey, Richmond or even Langley — you aren’t going to read about candidates in Nelson, Nakusp, Castlegar, Trail or Rossland anywhere else except your local paper.

This is when local journalism puts its best foot forward and brings the important local issues to local residents.

It’s our job to keep you informed. It’s your job to vote.

Deal reached for new river crossing Sheri Regnier Rossland News

Now that the regional sewer partners have reached a deal, the City of Trail could see a new shore-to-shore crossing as early as next year.

The regional district announced Wednesday that Rossland, Warfield and Trail had reached a $4.2 million agreement that will fund an aerial sewer crossing across the Columbia River.

After all the emotion swirling around the Columbia River pedestrian/pipe bridge proposal this year, in the end the three parties met without hoopla and within a week reached an amiable deal.

Based on the $10 million cost of bridge construction that includes a walking deck, new utility lines and the regional sewer interceptor pipe, Rossland will contribute $1 million toward the service; Warfield $527,000 and Trail, $2.6 million as a regional entity plus $6.2 million directly.

Talks began between the community leaders began at the province’s annual municipal conference two weeks ago, says Warfield Mayor Bert Crockett.

“Once we got the conversation going we knew we had to keep it going until we reached an agreement,” he said. “When we came back from Vancouver we called a meeting in the village’s chambers and pounded it out. Everyone was cooperative and that’s what we needed.”

Regional discussions about how to replace the aging sewer line on the Old Trail bridge began three years ago and since that time, the issue has festered amongst residents in affected communities and at the sewer committee level.

Rossland Mayor Greg Granstrom vented frustration over the lengthy process last month, but says that the milestone agreement was reached through cooperation and understanding of each community’s situation.

“Rossland looks forward to a renewed spirit of cooperation with our neighbours,” Granstrom noted. “I believe it is extremely important that we as partners in the regional district continue to build on this co-operative effort.”

This is a big deal because we decided to come together and develop a proposal that would satisfy everyone, says Robert Cacchioni, adding the agreement shows that communities are working together to resolve major issues.

“No administration was involved,” explained the Trail councillor, regional director and chair of the sewer committee.

“The agreement was hammered out by the three members of the committee and Mayor Dieter Bogs,” he continued. “We believe in terms of the regional sewer partnership that it’s going to be an advantage to the entire region. It’s the best option that’s safe, environmentally friendly and will be easy maintenance over the

course of the next 100 years.”

The sewer service provider, which is the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, now has to write a bylaw that must be government approved and passed by Trail, Rossland and Warfield council before the three mayors sign on the dotted line.

“We’ve all come to terms with it so hopefully there will be no further hang ups,” said Crockett.

As Bogs readies to exit his 27-year political career next month, he said the agreement opens the door for better cooperation between the area’s municipalities now that emotion has been taken out of the sewer part of the project.

“This is good news,” he said. “And I am very pleased another major issue has been put to bed before I leave,” he chuckled. “And now we can take advantage of the river’s low level next spring when construction begins.”

The next step for the City of Trail is to finalize design plans that currently include a six-week wind study, explained David Perehudoff, Trail’s chief administrative officer.

“It is hoped that the city will tender the project in early 2015 and that construction will commence in late February or early March,” he said. “The bridge should be completed and ready for use within 12-14 months after construction starts.”

La moisson

De la dernière récolte, Il ne reste que le chaume Que la charrue enterre sous le guéret.

Les chaudes pluies du printemps Font germer les blés Dans le sein de la terre nourrice.

Les rayons du soleil auront tôt fait De réchauffer les menus dômes De sillons en révolte.

La herse aux dents aiguës Émiette les lambeaux de terre Et, sur le sol nu, Le semeur lance le blond froment.

Durant les beaux mois d’été, Les gerbes grenues se hissent Vers le bleu firmament.

Les blés d’or se dressent ; Le vent lentement les berce.

C’est le temps de la moisson, La terre verse au semeur sa rançon.

La tempête Le vent faisait tourbillonner le sable fin

Les nuages se bousculaient avec violence.

Et dansait follement dans le grand foin.

La pluie tombait en abondance.

De blancs cumulus élevaient la tête au loin.

La foudre sillonnait l’écran géant

Les oiseaux planaient dans les courants d’air.

Les animaux s’agitaient dans le clos où naguère, Impitoyablement avait frappé l’éclair.

Heather encourages all writers to participate in the challenge this year, even if they don’t plan on reaching NaNoWriMo’s goal. The key, she says, is to write because you enjoy it, and to set some sort of goal to get you through.

“Keep it simple — the point of NaNo is to get the words down. You can always go back and tweak the foreshadowing or plot later,” Heather says.

“One of the reasons I got through was I wrote something I cared about.” Heather writes fantasy and says she especially enjoys developing monsters and animals.

“It’s fun to tweak at that and suspend their disbelief,” she adds.

The largest writing event in the world returns to the Kootenays this November, when National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) participants around the globe hit their keyboards. The challenge: to write 50,000 words in 30 days.

“NaNoWriMo challenges writers,” says NaNo Municipal co-Liaison Deb O’Keeffe. “The best way to learn to write a novel is by plunging in and just doing it!”

There are no entry fees, no judges and no prizes. Just a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to finally getting that novel written. Last year, 63 Kootenay residents joined 400,000 people worldwide (including one very chilly writer at Antarctica’s McMurdo Station) to write their stories in November. Typing away at home, in coffee shops or in libraries, those 63 intrepid writers managed to produce a staggering collective total of 1,524,426 words.

Of those, 50,512 were churned out by Heather Potter, a resident of Rossland and veteran of the challenge, winning her the

News/Community Aerin Guy raises clean water charity funds

Sunshine & Storm Clouds

Five lakes, San Francisco Bay and $1,000 goals met Kate Whiteside Rossland News

This summer Rossland’s Aerin Bowers Guy swam five lakes and from Alcatraz to San Francisco, over 10.5 kilometers, raising $1,000.00 for Water Charity, www.watercharity.org, projects around the globe.

Dubbed ‘Open Water 40’ for her 40th birthday, Guy transformed her youth speed swimming skills into open water challenges. Knowing 5,000 kids under the age of five die from water-related illnesses every day, she went on a mission.

Guy was motivated to start swimming again when her daughter took it up.

“I never considered myself a distance swimmer,” said Guy, who had asthma as a youth, “but once I

started, I just kept going.”

On her charity page she said: “ This year I’m especially thankful. Thankful for health and happiness, and also thankful for the beautiful, Aerin Guy gets ready to do the Across the clean water I get to Lake Swim on Okanagan Lake in Kelowna.

Kootenay’s Best

Contractors

Easy eco-friendly home projects Home improvement projects have taken an environmentallyfriendly turn in recent years, as homeowners look to reduce their carbon footprints en route to improving their homes’ interior and exterior spaces. Such projects can range from large scale undertakings best left to professional contractors to smaller alterations that do-it-yourselfers can handle in a typical weekend.

Larger projects might make the biggest impact, but even small efforts to make a home more eco-friendly can benefit the planet significantly over time. The following are a handful of simple DIY home improvement projects that can benefit the planet. * Install low-flow water fixtures. According to the National Resources Defense Council, installing low-flow water fixtures in a home saves both water and money. Low-flow water fixtures include toilets, shower heads and faucets, and the NRDC notes that such additions typically repay a

homeowner’s initial investment in less than a year thanks to lower utility bills. A low-flow toilet is one that uses 1.6 gallons of water per flush or less, while low-flow faucets and showers are those that use 2.5 gallons of water per minute or less. * Install weather stripping. Weather stripping is a great way to reduce energy consumption while getting the most bang for your energy buck. Weather stripping is installed around windows and doors to seal any cracks or holes that develop over time. Such holes and cracks are more common in older homes, which is one reason that heating and cooling costs in such homes tend to be so much more expensive than those in newer homes. To determine if you need weather stripping, simply feel for drafts near doors and windows.

If there is no wind or cold air outside, then place a fan or ask someone to hold a hair dryer near suspect doors and windows while you stand on the other side, feeling areas where you think there may be drafts.

* Paint with a purpose. Fall is a great time of year to paint around the house, as the weather outside is pleasant enough to open windows in the home so it can air out during and after the painting. When choosing paints for your home, opt for low-VOC, or volatile organic compound, paints.

VOCs are a principal ingredient of ground-level ozone, which contributes to urban smog. VOCs also pose a considerable health risk, as studies have linked them to cancer, eye and throat irritation, headaches, and damage to the liver and nervous system. * Replace old light bulbs with compact fluorescent lights.

Thought replacing traditional incandescent light bulbs with compact fluorescents lights, or CFLs, is an easy task, that does not mean it’s ineffective. According to the NRDC, CFLs use just one-quarter the energy of incandescent alternatives.

In addition, CFLs last longer, saving homeowners the inconvenience of replacing bulbs.

New chapter

UPCOMING

ROSSLAND LIBRARY BOOK CLUB KATE WHITESIDE Rossland News

Rossland Public Library’s book club is opening a new chapter this year by taking a more open approach to selecting books using the B.C. library book club service and a relaxed meeting style.

After a survey last year showed people wanted a more open book club, the library chose to go with a new format.

“We ran last year until the summer break,” said book club coordinator and library director Lauren Roach. “We wanted to get more people involved, even if it’s only on a drop-in basis, or for a particular book.”

“It’s nice to be able to just show up, without having to be invited,” said Roach, who has tried a variety of book clubs before. “This appeals to all different types of readers.”

The new approach saw members at the September meeting choosing nine titles from the library’s selection. Members get the books on loan through the library, without having to purchase them. Each month the selected book is read and reviewed.

“I read like crazy, but always hated directed feedback. Our discussions are pretty free-flowing,” said Roach, who usually gets things started.

“When people say they loved it or hated it, the discussions get

AM

really interesting.”

Resource sharing librarian Margaret Smith is coordinating getting the books in for the club. The October read is Medicine Walk by Robert Wagamese. His novel, Indian Horse, was a finalist in Canada Reads 2013.

Medicine Walk is the story of Korean War vet Eldon Starlight, estranged from his teenage son, Franklin. Eldon is dying and seeks out Franklin to take him to the mountains where he can be buried in the Ojibwa warrior way.

The library book club meets the last Wednesday of the month at the library from 6:30 p.m. until 8 p.m.. However, the October 29 meeting will start at 6 p.m. so the group can attend the second Rossland Reads event starting at 7 p.m. at the art gallery, where citizens will vote on the book all Rosslanders should read.

The book club atmosphere is relaxed, with refreshments supplied. For more information on the books contact the library at (250) 362-7611, visit their Facebook page or email Lauren Roach at lauren@koopmans.ca.

ate that a mountain community supports something like this,” said Ennis.

On the Friday, summer-themed films were shown.

Starting with a short, thought-provoking movie about America’s most endangered river, the Colorado River, movies about climbing, surfing, exploration and more followed. One movie that stood out was And Then We Swam about two good-humoured Brits who plan a trip to row across the Indian Ocean, without a support boat. “We have never spent a night at sea before,” said one of the two, James Adair, before they headed out on their 5,600 kilometre rowing trip.

On Saturday night, the films were winter themed with ice as the as a prevailing theme.

One film was about ice farming on the Chimborazo glacier in Ecuador. A second was about an ice music festival, with all instruments made of ice, in Norway.

Seeing snow again made the audience excited. Nelson-based photographer Kari Medig had his short film The Fence shown at the festival. His goal was to capture the mere happiness of sliding on snow, of which the Rossland audience cheered.

The films shown were not necessarily the usual moun-

tain films shown at a mountain film festival.

“I really enjoyed the film selection process,” shared Ennis.

He choose from over 50 films and tried to pick those anyone would enjoy and emphasized on individuality.

He tried to choose films that were “potentially a bit more meaningful.” Ennis ended up with an exciting group of films, many with a lot of humorous characters and impressive accomplishments.

To add to the film festival’s comfort, homemade cinnamon buns were sold by Ennis’s girlfriend Marley, together with other baked goods rom a friend of his mother.

The two nights were successful and Ennis hopes to host the VIMFF in Rossland again in 2015.

“I’m extremely happy with how it went both nights. Rossland proved to have a little more interest in the winter film night so it was great to see even more folks the second night. I definitely plan on bringing the 2015 tour to Rossland, as well as looking into other festivals.”

He also adds that he wants to thank Powderhound Sports for running advance ticket sales and donating door prices, and Rossland Recreation and the Rossland Council for Arts and Culture for making the two nights possible.
