For the second straight election, Gord Zaitsoff will challenge Lawrence Chernoff for mayor of Castlegar.

Zaitsoff, who is also the incumbent regional director for Area J (Lower Arrow-Columbia), submitted his nomination papers for the city’s top job Friday.

He is also running again in his electoral area, where he faces a challenge from Rick Smith. In

Zaitsoff also ran once in a byelection for Castlegar council while serving as regional director. He has held the position since 2002.

Chernoff has been mayor since 2005 and was a councillor before that. He has served since 1987 with only one gap.

BETSY KLINE Castlegar News

As a continuation to our series profiling candidates for city council in the upcoming municipal election, we asked the final two candidates about their background, why they decided to run and what their goals and priorities would be if elected.

Born and raised in Castlegar, Tyler Maddocks is the youngest candidate to enter the race. This is his third attempt to win a seat on Council. He ran in the last municipal election and then in the by-election to replace Russ Hearne.

The Maddocks family has a history of politics in Castlegar. Tyler’s grandfather was mayor of Kinnaird at the same time that his grandfather’s brother was mayor of Castlegar. Tyler’s father has also served on city council.

He currently works for a tool accessory distributor and has previous experience in the area of financial planning. He also believes his skills with web development and social media work could be an asset to the city.

“I strongly believe that each generation is brought up a little bit differently and has a little bit different views and perspectives on things.

I can really see it being beneficial to have one person of the six who is under the age of 30.”

“I believe social media is the key to getting people more involved. I think it is important to hear people’s feedback before a project is completed. I believe social media implementation could help with that.”

Maddocks would like to work on revitalization of the downtown core. His ideas for increasing business and tourism include exploring the idea of a city campground similar to the one in Nelson.

Dave Grantham moved to Castlegar from

Surrey in 2006 for the opportunity to open the M&M Meat Shop.

After years of experience in grocery store management he had started an organic pet food company in the lower mainland, but having previously visited the Kootenays felt drawn to the area. Grantham also has experience in search and rescue and Rotary, and is the current President of Castlegar Minor Soccer and Director of the Kootenay Youth Soccer Association.

“It is perfect timing. I have been engaged in the process. I like to help people in the community. I know there is a lot to learn, but you have to get in there and get your feet wet.”

Grantham feels healthcare is an important issue and would like to pursue cooperation among the local areas to erase the divisiveness and work together towards a new hospital.

He would also like to further the developments of recreation opportunities including adding another sheet of ice to the complex.

Another piece Grantham would like to put in place is a live streaming web cast of city council meetings. “I really love the community. I really like the people who are on council now. I’d like the chance to work with progressive people who have my respect already.”

The election will be held Saturday, November 15. The polling station will be the Castlegar and District Community Complex located at 2106 Sixth Avenue. Votes can be cast between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.. Advance voting will take place at the Community Forum located at 445 13th Avenue on November 4 and 5, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. both days.

If you have not previously registered to vote and meet the qualifications, you may do so on election day by presenting two pieces of ID, one of which must have your signature and one which must provide proof of residency or property ownership.

Residents upset with pathway project

City says contractors did what they could to save vegetation Betsy Kline

Castlegar News

With the Connors Road Pedestrian/ Cyclist Pathway project nearing completion, neighborhood residents are still upset with the city over the way the project has been handled, and with the finished product.

A group of 10 home owners from the area recently met with the Castlegar News to express their frustrations.

The group was led by John Shirley, whose property is directly across from the point in the pathway that crosses the railroad tracks. The Shirleys previously had a view from their home that consisted of trees and vegetation. That view now includes railroad tracks, vehicles on the highway off ramp and in the distance, the neon sign of the Sandman Hotel.

The neighborhood residents feel that the project has been rushed and that not enough consultation was done with those who would be affected by the pathway.

One cited example was that after John Phillips made a presentation at a city council meeting about the concerns and requested city council to meet with residents they were only given two days notice that a meeting would take place.

Also frustrating was that the meeting would take place with Chris Barlow, director of transportation and civic works, rather than with city councillors. The residents did acknowledge that they had received a letter in 2012 explaining the project and stating it would take place in 2013. When the project did not go ahead in 2013, the residents assumed it must have been canceled.

Another source of contention is that the point where the pathway leaves Connors Road and crosses the railroad tracks was changed from the plans that the residents were previously shown.

Nesta Hale expressed her feelings, “We strongly object to the way this was done, with the contractor allowed by the city to position it differently than we were told. The city should have been on site.”

They had also hoped the plans could be altered so the pathway could be constructed at an angle to reduce the impact on any one residence.

Since some residents feel their property values have been decreased, this is an emotional issue for them. Elizabeth Fleet stated, “The only realistic way to compensate for the loss of value to the Shirleys is the removal of the pathway and reforestation.”

They wonder, why was a pathway even needed?

The residents also have concerns over safety issues. They feel the crossing is located too close to a curve in the tracks causing reduced visibility.

Vehicles driving in the pathway along Connors Road is another concern.

The list of complaints goes on to include increased noise cause by traffic and train whistles, removal of more vegetation than necessary, the narrowing of their road and receiving misinformation.

John Shirley declared, “As far as I am concerned, the city lied to us.”

When asked what they would like to accomplish, the consensus involved two things: they would like to see Mayor and Council talk to them with an open mind but, ideally, they would like to see the project torn out and the area reforested.

Barlow was given the opportunity to

present the city’s side of the issue. He showed a chronology of the project.

In 2008 the city prepared a Pedestrian and Cycling Master Plan. The Connors Road project was included in that plan. The city then began to set aside $50,000 in each year’s annual budget to pay for the project.

The design was put together in 2012 and the city applied for a grant to help pay for the project. In August 2012, letters containing design plans were hand delivered to residents with properties adjacent to the pathway.

Only one resident officially contacted civic works with concerns. The city did not get the grant on the first try, so the project was postponed until they received a grant in June 2014.

The project then went out to tender in August.

The School District 20 Board is considering disposing of the former Blueberry Creek Community School building and site.

The building has not served as a school since 2002. As part of the process they will be holding a public consultation meeting on Monday, October 20 at 6:30 p.m. in the gymnasium of the school. At the meeting, the board will explain the process they will follow for the potential disposal.

They will also share some of the possibilities they are considering. The Board’s intention is to receive input from the community on these options and listen for potential use suggestions.

The final decision will be made at a future meeting.

One option will be presented

The City requires four Light Equipment Operators for the period November 1, 2014 to March 15, 2015 inclusive, to supplement the City’s winter operations. This position is an on-call position and hours per week will vary from 0 to 40. The majority of the work will be afternoons, evenings or week-ends, in accordance with Letter of Understanding No. 1 of the Collective Agreement. Applicants must have a valid B.C. Driver's Licence, Class 3, with Air Brake Endorsement.

Applications from qualified candidates should be submitted by 4:30 pm, Monday, October 20, 2014 to the: City of Castlegar 460 Columbia Avenue Castlegar, BC V1N 1G7 FAX: 365-4810 PHONE: 365-7227 EMAIL: stassone@castlegar.ca Pursuant to the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, the information collected will be utilized solely for the selection of candidates.

Rebecca McDonald stated, “We do believe that our society has both the capacity and the public backing to continue to operate this facility aNd we think it is in the best interest of our community to do so.”

BCCS is collecting signatures in order to show the community support behind their proposal.

If you would like to sign the petition, copies can be found at the school itself, The Brick, Canadian Tire, BMO, Kootenay Savings, KalTire and other locations around town.

At least one School Board member has weighed in in favor of the proposal. Mickey Kinakin stated, ”A loss of that many seats for daycare and early education is huge. The school district will gain by partnering and working with the community and that is the kind of model we should be developing.”

CP Rail dictated where crossing was placed continued from page B3

by the Blueberry Creek Community School Council Board (BCCS). This is the organization that is currently operating the facility. The non-profit charitable organization currently leases the building from SD 20 and is responsible for the finances, maintenance and operation of the site.

They believe they have developed a sustainable operational model and business plan. BCCS has the financial capacity to continue operations, but does not have the capital for a fair market value purchase of the facility.

The proposal calls for the sale of the facility to BCCS for the sum of $1. They then would continue to provide the educational, childcare, social and recreational services that they are currently providing.

BCCS Community liaison

The reason given for some of the design elements the residents are unhappy about was that it was to meet requirements of CP Rail.

CP Rail required that the crossing be located halfway between the curve by Century 21 and the rail bridge.

The railroad also required the crossing to be perpendicular to the tracks. After considering the option of making the pathway at an angle, due to the actual crossing need-

ing to be perpendicular, it was decided that the best way to build with the least vegetation damage was to put the pathway in with a 90 degree turn according to the original plans.

During construction, the original entrance was moved.

The decision was made to relocate it from an area where there were large trees to a spot where there was a dead tree that needed to be removed for safety reasons anyway.

Barlow stated, “We did everything we could to preserve vegetation. The contractor was very aware of the need to preserve as much vegetation as possible.”

After the original vegetation removal, CP Rail then removed some additional vegetation to improve their line of sight of the crossing.

Barlow explained, “The overall goal of the Pedestrian Cycling Master Plan is to link all of the different communities within

the city together into one safe bicycle and pedestrian pathway system.”

The Connors Road pathway is an important link in that plan as it will be the link connecting the north and south end together and bypass the interchange area which contains the busiest intersection in the city.

“Unfortunately it has impacted some properties, but for the good of the whole city’s overall plan it was an important link,” Barlow concluded.

Armed suspect Peter DeGroot is dead after what RCMP describe as an “interaction” with an Emergency Response Team (ERT) in a cabin near Slocan on Monday afternoon.

Make no mistake, this is a tragic ending Most of the Kootenay, along with the rest of the province, have been watching the ongoing story of the search for a Slocan gunman.

It’s a search that ended tragically on Monday with the death of suspect Peter DeGroot (see story on page 5).

Many of the details of this incident are still unknown or unconfirmed. Unfortunately, the age of social media has turned this tragedy into an opportunity to make accusations, political statements or just to vent frustrations and despair.

Make no mistake, this is a tragic ending and our sympathies go out to the friends and families of the deceased.

However, our sympathies also go out to the police and emergency personnel who are being lambasted by some commenters on Facebook and other websites.

The RCMP and the emergency response team are being unfairly labelled as are some of the residents of Slocan.

Anyone who thinks our police officers go out with the intention of killing someone — as some posts have indicated — obviously know little about law enforcement.

Officers risk their lives to protect the public. It’s just that simple.

Nobody can say they know that the suspect wouldn’t hurt anybody. Nobody can say that there was no danger. You can guess that, you can speculate that, you can believe it or assume it, but you don’t know.

Neither do the police. They have to treat the situation, a man with a gun, as life-threatening. He may have had trouble with mental health issues, that doesn’t make him non-threatening.

Had the suspect escaped, or hid inside a house and harmed an innocent bystander, we believe the same commenters would be complaining that the police didn’t do enough.

It’s a tragic outcome for everyone involved.

We want to hear from you.

Sculpturewalk: Here and elsewhere Sculpturewalk has taken over the collective consciousness of most Castlegarians. With over 30 new sculptures to examine each year, this regional initiative has brought a lot of visitors to Castlegar. If you look on Facebook, you’ll find 521 responses, and you’ll note that Trip Advisor lists sculpture walk as Castlegar’s #1 tourist attraction.

In fact, the website lists Castlegar as the “Sculpture Capital of Canada.”

I have no idea if there are similar cities elsewhere in Canada setting up sculpture or outdoor art displays yearly. Clearly, a few cities do commission sculptures for special events or to honour particular individTheresa Hodge Office Manager

uals, but no other community seems to be in the running for a second sculpture capital of Canada.

When we travel elsewhere in the world, we are always looking for displays of sculpture. Often these are available in parks and not spread throughout a city as in Castlegar. Five years ago, while in Haifa, Israel, we were following some streets down from the Baha’i Gardens when we came across a sports park.

Throughout this park were statues of athletes doing their individual sports — an archer, a javelin thrower, and a discuss spinner — to name a few.

Two years ago, when we were finishing our Rotary

Friendship Exchange in Iowa, we spent a few hours in Des Moines, Iowa. It had a sculpture park with about 20 avant-garde, outdoor sculptures right in the centre of the city. You could shop and then walk over to this park for a bit of artistic uplift.

Recently, while in New Jersey, we were taken to Hamilton, NJ, to visit the “Grounds for Sculpture.”

Along with an interpretive centre, a museum, and a sculpture processing plant, the site had 42 treed acres housing over 300 sculptures. It was an amazing place.

The Grounds for Sculpture had a retrospective show highlighting the life

and sculptures of founder and curator, Seward Johnson. Johnson was an heir to the Johnson and Johnson shampoo fortune, but he wanted to be an artist — and sculpting was his choice. We admired all of his works — and there were over 200 of them placed throughout the park.

At some point in his life, he began to sculpt what he called “familiar” pieces: everyday people doing their everyday work. Driving along the street leading into the park, we met a hitchhiker on the road edge, an outdoor worker mowing a lawn and a lady waiting at a bus stop. continued on page A7

TICK TOCK...

TICK TOCK...

In defence of our tennis courts In Castlegar we are lucky to have beautiful tennis courts. The courts are kept busy with local ladies playing every morning during the spring, summer and fall.

A men’s tennis league plays every Wednesday night and men in this league have pickup games during the week.

Many families take part especially on the weekends, as well as college students.

My reason for writing this letter is other sports readily abuse our tennis courts. Tennis courts have a special finish and made for tennis only. At any time of day one can arrive at the tennis court and find a hockey team (coach included) working out, or a skate boarder zooming around or boys with a puck, sticks, and hockey net playing a game.

It is ignorance that is caus-

ing this to happen. Coaches and parents need to teach the children and young adults to respect another sports playing area. No way does someone dream of doing hockey workouts or taking soccer practice on the golf course so why should a tennis court be any different.

Additionally, there is an even larger threat looming over our tennis courts. Rumours are circulating that the pickleball players would like to take over another one of our tennis courts for their game of pickleball. They have already annexed the downtown tennis courts, and are now gunning for our uptown courts, next to the Recreation Centre.

Just because a pickleball court surface is similar to a tennis court surface does not

make pickleball compatible to be played near or around a tennis court. The differences are that on a tennis court there is a maximum of four players, while on the same court one can fit 16 pickleball participants.

The noise level of pickleball with the combination of the pong sound of the racquet hitting the ball, and the extra people, make it totally incompatible with tennis. Tennis cannot be played comfortably next to a pickleball game.

Many people in this area have not experienced the game of pickleball, so my fear is that those on the city council who make such decisions will not have had enough experience of the two games to make an appropriate decision.

The grown-up, adult

Castlegar pickleball players should be totally ashamed and embarrassed to be attempting to take over another sports playing area. The old time tennis players worked hard over the years to get tennis courts in Castlegar and no other sport should be able to just walk in and blatantly take over another sport’s hard won space.

Raise your own funds and build your own proper pickleball courts instead of sneakily politicking to take over another sports playing area.

The tennis courts have been built for tennis, and I ask all other sport and especially pickleballers to find and play on your own playing field.

Albertans, change your insurance Being a resident of BC, and a driver, in the Castlegar area, I have noticed that there are a high number of pickups, SUVs, and cars, on our streets, highways and byways, which are displaying Alberta license plates.

Certainly, a portion of those vehicles are driven, and owned, by people who actually reside in Alberta. However, in the last few years, a lot of residential property in the Castlegar area has been bought up by people from Alberta, who moved here, and live here, but have neglected to register, license, and insure their vehicles in BC, as all other BC residents must do.

Neglecting to do that’ is (as everyone knows) a breach of motor vehicle law. So why is

law enforcement not using due diligence in combating, what (in my estimation, based on what I have personally observed) has become an established practice in our area, and quite likely throughout the province of BC? Recently, a life long resident of Castlegar, was rear ended on Columbia Ave. by a vehicle wearing Alberta plates. The driver produced Alberta registration and Alberta insurance, but strangely enough did not produce a telephone number.

How many people do you know, who do not have a phone number for contact purposes?

As it turns out, ICBC is requiring the fellow who got

rear ended, to pay the $300 deductible on his car repair, not because he was at fault, but because the vehicle that hit him is claimed to be from Alberta, and was insured by a private insurance company in Alberta, and (from what I can gather) ICBC doesn’t get involved with going after the Alberta driver for payment of the deductible, which means that the BC resident must pay the $300 before he can get his car fixed, and then collect the money himself from the Alberta driver.

Problem: the Alberta driver has no phone number.

But then, is the Alberta driver actually living in Alberta, or is he living locally, and claiming to be living in Alberta, because of having

failed to license his vehicle in BC? Did this Alberta driver actually not have a phone number, or did he choose to withhold the information, because it would have come up as being a BC phone number, which would have revealed, that he had failed to transfer his vehicle as required by law?

Apparently, Castlegar RCMP attended the accident, but did not get all the information from the Alberta driver.

And so it is, that where the law and justice is concerned in BC, it is most often the victim who must pay, rather than the guilty party.

Jean H. Broeck, Castlegar

Enjoying the beauty of art continued from page A6

In the park, these “familiar” pieces included a postman, a policeman, a hedge-clipper and a window washer, placed so we would bump into them.

In the domestic centre, we viewed four larger-than-life historic tableaux: Abraham Lincoln with a questioner;

Marilyn Monroe with her dress billowing high; the famous American Gothic farm scene; and a soldier with a nurse bent over in his arms. I liked this last one the best as it was a take on Life magazine’s end of World War II photo called “Total Surrender.”

We also visited the Seward Johnson Museum where we

saw Johnson’s scenes duplicating the paintings of Impressionist artists — Monet, Manet, Van Gogh, and Renoir.

The figures in the scenes and some of the trappings were sculpted, and the rest of the scene was dressed in period furniture or backdrop. We walked right onto these sets and took pictures interacting

with some of the characters.

To finish, we took a tram ride throughout the park and saw a display of outdoor art too numerous to describe here. It was awesome, and we have a bit of that right here in Castlegar with our own sculpturewalk.

REGULAR SEASON GAMES: GRAND FORKS VS CASTLEGAR REBELS

DATE: SATURDAY OCTOBER, 18 2014 @ 7:00PM LOCATION: CASTLEGAR COMPLEX

There are three candidates — ­ Rosann Brunton, Catherine Zaitsoff and Mickey Kinakin — ­ trying to win the two open school board seats in Castlegar.

Trio compete for school board

Three candidates trying to win two available seats Betsy kline Castlegar News

Three candidates have entered the race for Castlegar’s two seats on the School District 20 School Board. Each candidate was asked about their background, why they decided to run and what their goals and priorities would be if elected.

Rosann Brunton is originally from Calgary. After leaving Calgary she spent five years in Nakusp and has lived in Castlegar for the last two and a half years.

She has an Engineering degree and has worked for both the Alberta government and municipal government. Her work involved enforcing legislation and understanding how legislation is put together. Brunton stated, “I have the understanding, the experience in the particulars of dealing and working with government.” She is now halfway through working on an Accounting Technician diploma.

“One of things I hope to bring to the trustee position is a thorough understanding of the budgetary process and judiciary responsibilities and the variety of accounting requirements that the board is held under.”

She has been active in her children’s education from the beginning having been on the board of directors at their preschool and then moving on to become president of the PAC at their school. The next step is a seat on the school board.

“My children have another decade in the school system. I want to ensure however I can that their education experience is the best that it can be.”

She sees the biggest issue as

the lack of funding for children in BC. She would like to lobby the government for increased funding in cooperation with other school boards and interest groups.

“There currently is no one on the board who has children in the elementary system. I think there needs to be a voice for the children that are currently moving through… I think all perspectives need to be heard at the table and this in one perspective that isn’t right now.”

Catherine Zaitsoff has lived in Castlegar for 12 years. She has worked for Celgar and Teck as a lab technician and systems coordinator. She has served on the parent executive of the Russian preschool and with the Twin Rivers/Castlegar Primary PAC. She has also been the public speaking coordinator for the Miss Castlegar program for the past 10 years.

“I would like to ensure that current users have a voice at the school board, that they remind the school board that things are not just about numbers. Their decisions affect students, parents, teachers, CUPE members.”

She would like to focus on class room size and composition. She is also interested in working on technology issues.

“I would like to take an in- depth look at the use of technology in our classrooms, whether or not it is OK for younger years, including how to balance the use of technology with the use of special education techniques, interactions with their peers and nature.” She would also like to work on more sustainable funding, ensuring respect and accountability and seeking

more public input. She further stated, “I am a passionate tireless advocate of public education. I want to return to a respectful dialog between all parties.”

Mickey Kinakin has been on the school board for more than 20 years. Previously representing Area 1, he has chosen to run in Castlegar this time because there are no more schools left in Area 1.

Now retired, Kinakin spent over 35 years working for Selkirk College including time spent as the Health and Safety officer. He has also served on the Provincial Childcare Council, Board of the BC Public Sector Employers Council and five years as a director on the Provincial Council of the BC School Trustee Association.

Kinakin has previously championed community schools in Robson and Blueberry Creek and was instrumental in establishing the French and Russian language programs in the district.

He feels strongly about community involvement in education. “Education is everybody’s business. This is the public’s system. It does not belong to government, cities, or trustees. It is the public system. If the public is involved, then it runs well.” He would like to tackle the problem of the district’s funding shortfalls by working with the cities and other districts to petition the government to change the structural funding formula.

“This is killing us in this area.

It is affecting our children’s education. We have to get the community here working together. We need to remember we are serving children, serving parents.”

Introducing our new advice columnist

Miss Sensibility

Dear Miss Sensibility, I know we are all getting older but lately that’s seemed especially true of my parents. I just don’t know what to do. They’re too good to go into a home but they still need looking after from time to time. My life is hectic enough without having to play “Daddy” to my Mom and Dad. Do you have any advice for how to balance my own work and home life while still looking after my parents? -Parenting Parents

Dear Parenting Parents, The season of life you and your parents have entered into is not an easy season.

It is difficult for them to see their strength and independence slipping away; and difficult for you to balance care giving responsibilities coming from two households. Being able to find the balance among all of life’s demands is the key to maintaining ones sanity. Analyzing your priorities and making sure they are in the right order will help keep things in perspective.

Certain seasons of life require some sacrifice. When the need arises to care for aging parents, it is often the time figure out what is really important. In order to fulfill all of the roles you are needing to fill, you will probably have to give up a few things that steal too much time from your schedule. Just remember, the seasons of life change frequently, and these sacrifices are not forever.

Finding balance in life is not usually accomplished by following a prescribed formula. It is more like the art of the tightrope walker. Demands cause us to lean a little to the left, and then after the crisis is averted; we lean to the right to correct the imbalance. As long as we stay on the wire we survive.

Although caring for parents can be draining and frustrating, it is important to remember just how much they have done for us. They probably changed your diaper more than you will ever have to change theirs. Helping out of a grateful heart instead of out of obligation will help ease the burden of the labour. As the old saying goes, “Love lightens labour.”

Sensibly yours,

Miss Sensibility D o y o u h av e a q u e s t i o n fo r M i s s S e n s i b i l i t y ?

Donation to air cadets Money will go towards new building project BETSY KLINE Castlegar News

The Castlegar branch of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets was the recipient of the proceeds from this year’s Tim Hortons Smile Cookie Campaign.

Tim Hortons owners Chris and Kathy Sykes presented the cadets with a cheque for $1,838.

Each year Tim Hortons owners are allowed to choose a local charity that will benefit from the campaign.

The Sykes were very pleased with the sales,;this year’s cookie sales were 67 per cent higher than any previous year.

Kathy said, “It is nice when you can see where it is going. It is always extra cool when it is for kids. It’s neat to see the excitement.”

During the Smile Cookie campaign, cadets were on hand at the store to open doors, greet customers and help where they could.

The leaders expressed that the compliments and support from the community was amazing. The money will be set aside for the purpose of building a new cadet hall.

The current hall is over 60 years old and in need of replacement.

Parent committee chair Dan MacDonald explained their vision, “I would like to see the building we build become a legacy for the kids.”

Rebels take two of three Castlegar defeats Revelstoke, splits games with Nelson Kevin Mills Castlegar News

The rivalry between the Nelson Leafs and the Castlegar Rebels heated up on Friday night.

The Rebels came into the Leafs’ home rink and skated away with a 3-1 victory.

Much like last weekend’s contest, a 1-1 tie between the two squads, Nelson carried much of the play throughout the game.

Nolan Percival opened the scoring for the Leafs, but Castlegar’s Mike Bhatoa tied it at 1-1 before the end of the first.

In the second, despite being out shot, the Rebels took a 2-1 lead thanks to a goal by Cal Owens.

That was all the scoring until the last minute of the third when Lindan Calliou hit the empty net to make the final 3-1.

Rebels netminder Patrick Zubick was strong in the nets again, allowing one goal on 32 shots. At the other end of the ice, Nelson’s Adam Mai-

da stopped 26 of 28 shots he faced.

Rebels coach Jesse Dorrans was happy with his squad’s effort.

“We played a little more consistent than last weekend,” he said.

The coach said his squad worked on a few things this week and came to Nelson ready to execute.

“And I think we did a good job of that tonight.”

He also got another stellar performance from his goal-

tender.

“Hey if you want to win hockey games you need a good goaltender, but you also need a good one, two punch and I got all the faith in ours.”

Play in the third period got a little out of hand as the squads began to take liberties with each other.

As a result, six players were given misconducts in the third after several fights broke out.

Rivalry with leafs gaining momentum

continued from page A12

Nelson’s Rayce Miller and the Rebels’ Tyler Bryant each received 10 minute misconducts, while Darnel St. Pierre and Austin Lindsay (Nelson) along with Dawson Haines and Daniel Petten (Castlegar) received game misconducts.

After the game, Leafs coach Dave McLellan said his squad carried the play, but just couldn’t score.

“For us, again, I thought we outplayed them tonight. We just didn’t capitalize on our scoring chances there and the third period just turned into a farce.”

The game overall was an intense match up, but play wasn’t chippy.

The Rebels coach said Nelson has always provided intense games.

“I’ve been in the league for 10 years now and every time we play Nelson it’s always a fierce rivalry,” said Dorrans.

On Saturday night, Castlegar won its second game in a row, beating the Revelstoke Grizzlies 4-3.

Aaron Petten, Bryan Lubin (with two) and Konnor Madsen scored for the Rebels.

On Sunday, the Rebels played their third game in three nights, playing host to the Nelson Leafs once more. Castlegar lost the game 3-0.

The Rebels’ next home game is Saturday, October 18 when they take on the Grand Forks Border Bruins. The puck drops at 7 p.m..

Slow start to hockey season

Tough Start to New Campaign The Saints hope a large crowd and pre-game celebration on Friday night will fuel a team that has struggled out of the gates. Selkirk finds itself in an unfamiliar position at the bottom of the five-team league, having gone winless in their first three games.

“After playing our first three contests on the road, we are all excited to come back and play

The Saints captured the 201314 title at home last March before a packed house at their home rink in Castlegar. After powering their way through the BCIHL regular season, the Saints disposed of the Thompson Rivers University Wolfpack in the semi-finals and then crushed the Trinity Western University Spartans in the league final in two straight games.

in front of the best fans in the league,” says Saints’ Head Coach Alex Evin. “The support we have received the past few seasons has been incredible and we hope we can share our championship banner with our fans on Friday night as well as pick up our first victory of the season.”

The Saints will face off against the much improved Eastern Washington University Eagles who have already made significant impressions in the BCIHL. The Eagles currently sit atop the standings boasting a 3-2 record with two of their wins coming against top ranked SFU and Selkirk in the season opener two weeks ago in Cheney, Washington.

The Saints are recently coming off a tough road trip where they dropped a pair of games, 6-2 to Simon Fraser and 5-4 to Trinity Western. Both contests saw an injury — depleted Selkirk lineup struggle with consistency. Goals for the Saints came from Logan Proulx (2), Stefan Gonzales, Darnell Dyck, Stefan Virtanen and Steven Pantazopoulos.

The banner raising ceremony will begin at 7 p.m. at the Castlegar Complex. A special autograph session with all Saints players will take place immediately following the game.

SAINTS NOTES: Friday’s game is the only game of the weekend for the Saints who will return home on October 25 for a rematch with Eastern Washington at the Complex… In the past two regular seasons the Saints have only registered a total of six losses.

They posted a 20-3-0-1 record in 2013-14 and a 21-3-0-0 record in 2012-13.

PROPOSED OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN BYLAW AMENDMENT (310 Sahlstrom Road) The City of Castlegar is in the process of changing the land use designation of the following property included in the City of Castlegar by Supplementary Letter Patent Order in Council No. 66:

(i)

310 Sahlstrom Road (Lot A District Lot 14559 Kootenay District Plan 5383 Except Part Included in Plan NEP23157) from “Rural Residential (RR)” under Official Community Plan Bylaw No.1157 (1996) of the Regional District of Central Kootenay to “Urban Reserve (UR)” under Official Community Plan Bylaw 1150 of the City of Castlegar.

Recent amendments to the Local Government Act requires the City, when developing or amending an Official Community Plan, to consult with persons, organizations and authorities it considers will be affected.

City Council is requesting written comments from interested citizens on the proposed land use designation change.

All written comments should be directed to: Development Services Department City Hall, 460 Columbia Avenue Castlegar, BC V1N 1G7 Phone: 250-365-7227 Fax: 250-365-4810 Email: devserv@castlegar.ca All submissions must be received prior to October 20, 2014.

Central Kootenay Invasive Plant Committee is holding a new art show at the Kootenay Gallery of Art in Castlegar.

Art with a message Raising awareness around invasive species

The Central Kootenay Invasive Plant Committee is hosting a juried art exhibition, with the theme of invasive species and biodiversity.

The exhibition will be open to the public from now until November 8 at the Kootenay Gallery of Art in Castlegar.

This exhibition is intended to raise the profile and public discussion around invasive species and biodiversity within the Central Kootenay region.

This exhibition is intended to: q Highlight the impacts of invasive species on biodiversity within the Central Kootenay region; q Educate the public about existing invasive species within the region; q Increase the public dialogue on invasive species and the potential associated impacts on biodiversity; q Provide an educational and interactive platform for learning about invasive species and their impacts; q Showcase local artists and their interpretations of invasive species and biodiversity.

EXHIBITION STATEMENT: Art can build awareness and inspires conversation. Science is the language of fact, whereas art is the language of perception. Sci-

ence provides the answers to the questions we seek, where art can provide a venue to articulate, both emotionally and spiritually, what we perceive and ‘know’ to be true about our world.

Nature as we know it is in constant flux, and even more so in the era of the Anthropocene. Humanity’s impacts on nature and biodiversity is far reaching and pervasive. The 2014 World Wildlife Fund Living Planet Report highlights some startling new revelations about the state of our planet and in particular, biodiversity.

The Living Planet Index, which measures trends in thousands of vertebrate species populations, shows a decline of 52 per cent between 1970 and 2010.

In other words, vertebrate species populations across the globe are, on average, about half the size they were 40 years ago.

Invasive species are listed as one of the top seven categorized threats to biodiversity, only second to habitat loss and climate change.

This exhibition was inspired by a desire to increase awareness about the science of biodiversity and invasive species, through the lens of an artist. We seek to engage the viewer through the stories that these creative minds tell and look forward to celebrating the beauty of biodiversity with you.

Castlegar Citizens on Patrol (COP) were making their rounds at the end of September when they came across a suspicious vehicle that was parked in the back yard area of a local tow company located in the 4000 block of Minto Road. The vehicle appeared to be parked in front of a hole that was observed in the fence to the property.

COP was quick in reporting their observations to Castlegar Police as they believed a break, enter and theft was in progress.

Castlegar Detachment members and West Kootenay Traffic Services arrived on scene and noted a female passenger inside this vehicle. Police determined that a male associated to this vehicle was on foot and believed to be inside the compound.

Police Dog Services were called to the scene and the police dog was able to track down this male who was hiding on the property.

Pumpkins: They are more than just jack-o-lanterns October is the month for pumpkins!

Pumpkins grow well in our area, and are in abundance at this time of year. When most people think of pumpkins, jack-olanterns and pies are usually what come to `

mind but these nutritious, versatile and hardy gourds can be so much more.

Did you know the world’s largest pumpkin weighed in at over 1600 pounds!

Even more surprising is that in some

`

`

communities people hollow out pumpkins, make them into boats and have annual pumpkin boat races. If you don’t believe me, look it up on the internet.

Like other types of squash, pumpkins

are full of nutrients.

Their deep orange coloured flesh is packed with betacarotene, an antioxidant that helps prevent heart disease and cancer. Pumpkins are also a good source of vitamin C,

potassium and fibre.

Pumpkin pie is a popular treat but pumpkin can be used for so much more. Try it in cookies, pancakes, loaves, muffins, soups and more. When choosing a pumpkin for

cooking, look for one that is smaller and heavy for its size.

When car ving your Halloween jack- o-lantern be sure to save the seeds for roasting. Baked pumpkin seeds are a healthy snack and

they are easy to make. Just rinse the pumpkin seeds to remove pulp then lay the seeds on a piece of paper towel to dry.

Next, put the seeds in a bowl with a bit of vegetable oil and your favourite flavouring (Mrs. Dash, seasoning salt), or cinnamon and brown sugar. Finally, spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F, stirring occasionally until light brown and crisp (about 1525 minutes).

ROTARY NEWS

Three children waiting to get their picture taken —HELP Honduras photo

Rotary’s HELP Honduras enables families HELP Honduras is a registered charity controlled by Rotarians in the Kootenays whose primary goal is to positively affect the health and education of the working poor in Honduras. There are members and donors throughout B.C..

There is some very good news. The Global Grant from The Rotary Foundation (TRF) has been approved and will cover the 2015 year. Global Grant 5 will continue the work started by the first four.

All five Global Grants were developed with input from TRF staff with the goal of increasing the sustainability of our program in Tegucigalpa.

The core of the grant is the Economic Opportunities Training (EOT). Approximately 620 mothers have taken the EOT and have successfully improved their businesses and thus their family income.

Every woman that takes the EOT has to support at least one of their children in education; we now have 825 less students needing sponsorships. The Global Grants have also paid for job search training for Grade 11 and 12 students and they have been better able to find jobs.

Global Grant 5 includes sponsorship for 210 secondary students and 120 primary students. We hope to add 900 sponsorships from existing and new sponsors so that all our students can attend school.

The Rotary Foundation has approved another Global Grant for Kelowna Sunrise Rotary, dealing with Early Childhood Stimulation. It will empower 200 mothers to enable their children under five to succeed in future education by providing health and learning services.

Unfortunately, the bad news is that the Canadian Rotary Collaboration for International Development (CRCID) will not be sending any funds for at least a year.

CRCID submitted a proposal from HELP Honduras and eight other Rotary groups to the Government of Canada, of which only 2 were approved. Ours was not one of them. Thus we need to raise another $23,000 US for staff. For that reason we are going to ask both Rotary clubs and individual sponsors to donate to cover those costs. If we cannot get close to that amount by December, some or all of those staff members will have to be laid off.

Castlegar Rotary Club president, Kim Morris, welcomes Chloe Hubert, the Club’s second exchange student. 17 year old Chloe is from the south of France.

She is excited about the opportunity to become fluently bilingual and is curious but a little apprehensive about our Canadian winter.

Roses are red...or pink...or yellow...

WORLD POLIO DAY October 24 Wayne Groutage Both of Castlegar’s Rotary Clubs hold events to raise funds to support their service projects. Most of the projects that are reported on are ones in the community like the Skateboard Park, the Millennium Outdoor Exercise Equipment, and the highway interchange fountain.

However, some of the funds that are raised go to projects that benefit a much wider community. In the case of PolioPlus – the world.

October 24, designated World Polio Day by Rotary International, is a reminder of Rotary’s part in the fight to eradicate polio, which would be only the second human disease to be eradicated. Only three countries (Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan) have never stopped transmission of the wild poliovirus.

The choice of October 24 is significant – it’s the birthday of Jonas Salk, who led the first team to develop a vaccine against poliomyelitis.

Since the development of the vaccine, the incidence, and the fear of contracting polio has virtuallly disappeared from North America.

However, in the 1950s, outbreaks reached epidemic proportions. We only have to look at today’s concern of the possibility of an Ebola epidemic to sense what parents and their children went through prior to the development of the vaccine. The polio epidemic of 1952, the worst in US and Canadian history, affected over 60,000 children with several deaths, and over 20,000 left with mild to disabling paralysis.

In 1988 Rotary, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention came together to launch the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. Since then, there has been a

99 per cent drop in the number of polio cases — from $350,000 a year to just 223 in 2012. For a region to be certified polio free, it must go 3 years without any reported cases.

The Western Pacific, European, and Americas regions have been certified, and just recently, India was certified joined the list.

Rotary worldwide made polio eradication its top priority and Rotary members have contributed $1.3 billion, its members have logged countless volunteer hours to help immunize more than two billion children in 122 countries. As well, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has contributed $1.8 billion dollars to the program.

One of the biggest problems in the last remaining areas is Government instability. After attacks on aid workers in Pakistan and Nigeria, national governments and Rotary’s partner agencies began adapting operations to protect the safety of health workers. Health teams work with security agencies to go quickly into dangerous areas to immunize children, usually for a maximum of 2 days. In Pakistan, police protect teams doing door-to-door campaigns, and in other areas, teams ride in vans escorted by police to avoid becoming easy targets for terrorists.

A highly infectious disease, polio still strikes children mainly under the age of five and can cause paralysis and sometimes death. There is no cure for polio, but for as little as 60 cents per oral vaccine, a child can be protected from the disease for life.

Both of the Castlegar Rotary Clubs have made significant contributions to the program. The goal is to completely eradicate the disease by 2018.

It’s always a pleasant surprise to have a dozen roses delivered to you. The annual Castlegar Rotary Club Thanksgiving Rotary Rose sale is one of the Club’s most popular fund-raisers. This year, over 700 dozen roses were ordered and delivered to homes and businesses in greater Castlegar.
