The City of Castlegar and CUPE Local 2262 have officially come to an agreement over strike issues and signed a new six-year deal, ending the strike.

Consistent issues had been around since before August 2014, and while an overtime ban was launched mid-

August, full-fledged strike action was not taken until November 8.

The strike was the first of its kind in Castlegar in more than 60 years.

The new agreement is retroactive to February 2013 and includes a 10.3 per cent total wage increase over six years. Specifically it provides a 35 cent-per-hour increase for the first year followed by annual wage increases.

It also includes a 15 hour per month cap on city paid time for union investigation and settling of union grievances, improved benefits, an expedited grievance review process. As well, the two parties have agreed to take action on outstanding grievances and participation in a BC Labour Relations Board sponsored relationship enhancement program.

Mayor Lawrence Chernoff said, “I thank council for its resolve in achieving a deal that is fair and respectful to the employees and to the residents and businesses of Castlegar.”

Bonfire takes place at fire hall

Fundraiser was aglow with flickering flames and warm spirits CHRIS STEDILE Castlegar News

The French Immersion program at Stanley Humphries has a little extra coin available for their student trip after a generous fundraiser out in Ootischenia raised $400.

The program is for youth in Grades 9 and 10 and as part of French Immersion, the students will be taking a trip to France in June.

The event was held out at the Ootischenia fire hall on Jan. 3 from 4 - 8 p.m.

Program volunteer and parent, Charlene Howes said a lot of people have Christmas trees but don’t always have a plan in regards to what to do with them after Christmas is over. The Ootischenia Fire Department was on board immediately when a member of the SHSS French Immersion program approached them with the idea that they should take the trees and have people donate a minimum of $5.

That idea was all well and good but what were they to do with the trees once they had them?

The two parties had contemplated bringing them to the dump themselves but instead opted to turn this into a family event. The trees were set aflame to fuel a giant bonfire with hot chocolate and goodies provided by the local McDonald’s.

“We’re happy to have our workers back, especially in light of the recent weather. We recognize that this has been difficult on our employees, citizens and business community. I am pleased that council kept in view the best interests of our community over other considerations,” he added.

Chernoff continued, “I can tell you, there were some personal attacks that I wasn’t happy about, but that’s not what I’m looking at now, we’re looking to move forward into the future. It’s always a learning experience. It took more time than anyone thought it would but it was handled fair and honestly and at the end I think we came out with an

equitable contract for our employees.”

CUPE Local 2262 president Leford Lafayette said union members are looking forward to getting back to work keeping Castlegar city services running safely and smoothly.

At Monday’s city council meeting Chris Barlow, Director of Transportation and Civic Works said workers were out at 3 a.m. plowing and salting the roads and will continue to do so to make driving safer for everyone in Castlegar.

CUPE 2262 members do a wide range of jobs including keeping roads and sidewalks clear, maintaining public parks and outdoor rinks, the water treatment plant and services for the public at city hall.

Rear-ended by a snow removal truck Castlegar RCMP attended a motor vehicle accident on Jan. 5 at Columbia Avenue and ninth Street.

Investigation revealed that a north bound vehicle was stopped in front of the intersection crosswalk when it was suddenly rear ended by a snow removal truck.

The driver of the vehicle, a 68-year-old Castlegar man, was taken to the hospital by emergency services for medical treat-

ment for non-life threatening injuries.

His vehicle was towed as it had extensive damage to the rear end. The operator of the snow removal truck has been charged with Following Too Closely ($109 fine) and Speed Relevant to Conditions ($167 fine) under the Motor Vehicle Act. The snow removal vehicle had little damage and the driver was not injured.

Testing emergency response Castlegar airport was host to a mock hijacking Chris Stedile Castlegar News

New Year’s Eve saw the Castlegar airport a little more packed than usual as every form of emergency response was on hand to deal with a “hijacking.”

No cause for alarm, as the hijacking was all part of a semi-planned crisis exercise meant to test the city’s emergency service.

Of course the incident was planned and thought out but the timing was a surprise to almost everyone involved.

“Everyone knew it was coming,” said Fire Chief and Airport Manager, Gerry Rempel.

“We’d talked about it for a few months at safety meetings and council meetings but just not the date and time.”

Rempel explained the reasoning behind keeping the timing under wraps.

“We didn’t want people to pay for extra staff to come out. We wanted to get a realistic view of our response on a given day in the city.”

According to Rempel and Mayor Lawrence Chernoff the response was great.

The whole scenario started off with a simulated hostage taking in the hold room of the airport. Immediately, security initiated the alarm. The hostage-taker forced the passengers onto the aircraft. On take-off, the hijacker and the pilot got into a tussle and the aircraft veered off of the runway

Nitroglycerin is a potent dilator of blood vessels and is used medically to quickly open up blood vessels to the heart in patients with angina. The drug can be administered via a spray for quick relief when angina symptoms begin. It’s important to have a backup canister of the drug handy in case your current one malfunctions or is empty.

Should you continue your exercise program when you have a cold? Generally, if your symptoms are mostly above the neck, it’s probably OK to do moderate exercise. If it’s below the neck, and the lungs are involved, it’s best to stop your exercise program until you feel well enough to continue.

Accused robber tried to escape Greg Nesteroff Castlegar News

The man accused of holding up several local financial institutions has been sentenced to five months in jail for an escape attempt last fall.

Judge Don Sperry sentenced Andrew Stevenson, 34, Tuesday in Nelson Provincial Court. The jail term was a month longer than what Crown counsel and defence jointly sought. Stevenson, who admitted to the crime, still faces trial on another 20 charges related to the robberies.

On September 15, while deputy sheriff Dave Zarikoff was escorting Stevenson into the Nelson courthouse for an appearance, he threw off his crutches — which he was using after suffering a hip injury while being arrested the previous April — and ran several blocks before being tackled.

In handing down his sentence, Sperry told Stevenson: “You’ve been well represented by [defence lawyer Ken] Wyllie and fairly treated by [Crown prosecutor Sunday] Patola. The thing that troubles me most is the question of whether you were exaggerating the extent of your injuries so as not to be shackled and manacled.”

Sperry said the sentence

had to denounce Stevenson’s conduct and send a message to other prisoners that “consequences are certain and very real if you try to escape from the sheriffs. You put the sheriff at risk. He had to chase you. You put yourself at risk and the general public.”

Before sentencing, Patola outlined the circumstances of Stevenson’s escape attempt.

Around 9 a.m., Zarikoff was holding open a side door at the courthouse so that Stevenson could enter.

Instead, he ran up the stairs to Vernon Street, across the street to Touchstones Nelson, then up Ward Street as Zarikoff pursued him, yelling for him to stop. Stevenson ducked into Herridge Lane and was nearly hit by a small car as he headed down Josephine Street toward Vernon.

Zarikoff then collared him with “minimal force,” pinning him to the ground on his chest. Stevenson obeyed an order to put his hands behind him. A second deputy sheriff arrived as he was handcuffed.

“I just wanted to see my kids,” Stevenson reportedly said.

Wyllie said Stevenson “suffers from a debilitating condition” which the escape attempt only made worse. He also said Stevenson acknowledged “this was an impulsive and foolish thing to do.”

executed,” Sperry added.

Patola, who called the act a “desperate situation,” said Zarikoff had no reason to believe Stevenson was an escape risk.

She couldn’t find any applicable case law, and initially wasn’t sure how much time the offence should merit — the maximum is two years in prison. But Sperry remembered an incident at the Rossland courthouse in 1978, where a man escaped out the bathroom window and was at large for a year before he was caught. He was then sentenced to nine months.

In meting out a sentence greater than what the Crown requested, Sperry said “If I’m wrong, I wouldn’t mind the Court of Appeal’s guidance.”

Stevenson appeared in court today via video link from jail in Kamloops, still using his crutches. He was also ordered to pay a $100 victim surcharge within 60 days.

Stevenson is charged in the robberies of the Nelson and District Credit Union, Kootenay Savings in Castlegar, Johnny’s Groceries in Robson, and Kootenay Currency Exchange in Nelson, in which a shot was fired.

He and co-accused Krista Kalmikoff have preliminary inquiries scheduled for Jan. 28 and 29.

News REGULAR SEASON GAMES:

Hockeyville is open for voting

Will Castlegar be the next Hockeyville for 2015?

Chris Stedile Castlegar News

Monday night’s council meeting was short and sweet with one main topic receiving unanimous backing.

It’s that time of year again; Kraft Hockeyville nominations have opened.

Councillors Dan Rye and Sue HeatonSherstobitoff will be returning as Castlegar’s Hockeyville liaisons and they are confident that the city has an even greater chance this time around.

The nomination period opened on Jan. 1 and will close Feb. 8.

The website ­­— www. khv2015.com ­ — has been revamped and Heaton-Sherstobitoff expects voters will have a much easier time getting their nominations in.

“They’ve changed the website quite a bit, so it’s much more user-friendly this year,” she said. “It is a little more in depth what you have to provide but it is much easier to navigate.”

After the initial sign-up, voters are asked three questions that will significantly help advance Castlegar’s nomination chances.

Kraft wants to know, in your own words, what is special about the community’s passion and spirit for hockey and why Castlegar should be the next Hockeyville.

Additionally, they ask, “What arena project would most benefit

from the prize money and what impact would this project have on your community?”

The Councillors encourage everyone to go take a look and share your stories because every little bit helps.

Of course, Hockeyville isn’t just about bringing in the most votes and taking home the prized title. This event is about community and the sport of hockey itself.

Heaton-Sherstobitoff said, “We’re going to do the Smoke n’ Guns tournament again with the RCMP against the fire department.”

“I have been approached by the Selkirk Saints to do something and I have to approach the Rebels.”

She said everyone was waiting for the go-ahead from council and now they have it.

“We don’t have a lot of time.

Like last year, we only had three weeks and it’s the same this year.”

The councillor said they have a lot of activities to pack into three weeks but it was easy to tell how enthusiastic she was about the whole thing.

After the nomination period two communities are picked from each province in the West.

As of Monday night, there were only three other communities in the running within B.C.. They are Salmon Arm, Port Hardy and Cranbrook.

In a related matter, Councillor Kevin Chernoff mentioned that the City had been invited to participate in Rogers Hometown Hockey. He was contacted by the program’s Vice President in the Fall and although any participation would not be this year, but in 2016, he was hopeful that inquiries could be sent out.

“This would be like the Hockey Day in Canada that Nelson had a few years ago,” Chernoff said.

“They come and set up big screens and have [professional] hockey players come to your town. Basically they showcase your town for a weekend so I think it’s something worth exploring.”

More information on Hockeyville will be available during the upcoming meetings when they are scheduled, but until then, you can get your votes in at khv2015.com.

It’s tragic that researchers are unaware that high doses of vitamin C and lysine cannot only prevent, but reverse atherosclerosis in coronary and other arteries in the body. Vitamin C is needed for the manufacture of collagen, the glue that holds cells together. A lack of vitamin C means poor collagen, resulting in cracks appearing between coronary cells thus setting the stage for fatal blood clot.

Recently, Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, made this monumental discovery. He took photos of the retinal arteries and then gave patients 6,000 milligrams of vitamin C and 5,000 of lysine (lysine adds strength to coronary arteries just like steel rods increase the strength of concrete). A year later he repeated the pictures. To his surprise, he found atherosclerosis fading away.

Millions of North Americans also suffer from osteoarthritis. Without sufficient vitamin C to produce collagen, a major component of cartilage, bone eventually grinds on bone. There would be fewer joint replacements if more vitamin C were available to produce healthy collagen.

Rheumatoid arthritis, the inflammatory type, also requires large doses of vitamin C. Every moment of the day our bodies are using oxygen to keep us alive. But oxidation results in metabolic ash, known as “free radicals”, which are believed to trigger an inflammatory reaction in joints.

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps to reduce damaging free-radicals.

Patients often appear surprised when I tell them that vitamin C will help them keep their teeth a lifetime. By age 65 one in five North Americans has lost all their teeth and many of their teeth were normal. Rather, it was the gums that could no longer hold teeth firmly in place in part due to inadequate amounts of vitamin C. This vitamin is needed in large amounts to produce healthy collagen, the glue that holds cells together and keeps gums healthy. Without good mortar bricks fall apart and the same happens when gums lacking collagen lose their grip on teeth.

The essential amino acid lysine is probably best known for its use in those with herpes simplex infections but several other benefits have been ascribed to the molecule, including favourable effects on blood pressure and stroke prevention but also a positive influence on mood and anxiety.

In addition to providing healthy collagen production and a healthy cardiovascular system, vitamin C and lysine supplementation helps support: • Immune system health • Vision • Teeth and gums • Wound healing • Bones and cartilage • Recovery from shingles • Recovery from herpes outbreaks This is why I’ve been taking high doses of vitamin C and lysine for the last 16 years following a heart attack. I believe it saved my life. Medi-C Plus™, containing high doses of vitamin C and lysine, is available in powder and capsules.

Boom and bust cycle Most people have cleared out their Christmas tree by now and holiday eggnog, rum cake and turkey with all of the trimmings are but a distant memory.

The bills are starting to roll in, along with that feeling of perhaps overdoing it yet again, and, as the new year begins to take shape, we are faced with that desire to do better, to pare back and cut down.

But for many of us this feeling lasts but a short while as evidenced by a poll taken early in 2014 which found a quarter of men broke their New Year’s resolution to lose weight after one day.

Who can blame them?

Instead of dining on holiday delicacies, we’re back to the detoxing and juice cleanses; instead of spending on gifts, clothes, new phones and TVs at Christmas, we’re now supposed to cut back our spending and start putting something away for RRSP season.

It’s a boom and bust cycle that’s hard on the nerves, which

is why most people simply ignore the traditional New Year’s resolution.

However, for those that feel that need to promote change in 2015, maybe your resolutions could be less personal and more social.

Resolve not to tailgate — at all. Ever. If everyone took up this resolution can you imagine how different it would be to drive our city streets and highways?

Resolve to speed things up at the grocery checkout. This goes out to the people, usually with a large purchase, who insist on reading the checkout magazines and seem genuinely surprised that they have to produce their credit or bank card, store card, or coupons at the time of purchase.

Resolve to stop filling up your Facebook page with selfies.

Resolve to reflect on your actions more than once a year.

It’s strange that resolutions are made in January, and not all year long. We can always find things to improve in our lives.

Spots in Time Gord Turner Happy New Year and best wishes for the year ahead. At this time of the year, many people are making resolutions and setting up wish lists. They have in mind certain accomplishments they wish to attain and, in some instances, they simply want particular things to happen in the next 12 months.

I heard recently about a party game during which everyone had to write out their most important wishes and put them into a hat. As a wish was pulled from the hat, others at the party had to guess whose wish was fluttering in front of them.

Some people’s wishes were straightforward and predictable. For example, the skiers and boarders at the party simply wished for lots of snow. If the current weather forecast is correct, it looks as if their wish will be granted early.

Other people have complex wishes.

Wishes for the year ahead

A few people wished for improved health without taking any further drugs. That’s a difficult task in this day and age as it seems that pharmaceutical drugs go hand in hand with continued health as people age. Heart patients, for example, now live 20 years longer than their parents did with the same disease.

I heard that one party-goer wished for peace. That’s not complex if the individual only wanted his household to become a quiet retreat from the world with fewer people knocking on the door and sleeping in his extra bedroom. Perhaps, on the other hand, he meant that he desired peace in the Middle East, in Afghanistan, in Ukraine, and in Africa.

That’s a tall order version of peace, one hardly to be attained in the year ahead.

I can imagine various groups in Castlegar putting in their wishes. It wouldn’t be difficult to guess that Christine Esovoloff Sales Associate

Selina Birk Creative Support

Sandy Leonard Creative Director

Communities in Bloom would like to achieve five bloom status and win a major award again. Sculpturewalk would be clearly wishing for 30 or more firstrate sculptures to adorn the streets.

The organizers want this summer-long event to continue to catch the imagination of Castlegar folk and remain a #1 tourist attraction.

I can hear Castlegar City Council making a motion that wishes for minimal snow fall. Maybe they made that motion during 2014 because they certainly didn’t have much snow for senior management to plow during the CUPE strike. Less snow falling during the winter means more budget-money can be carried forward for the year ahead.

Someone at the party probably wished for government taxes to be kept at status quo. All of these taxes — income tax, sales tax, and property tax — could use a year of zero impact. AnKatelyn Hurley Creative

other guest might have wished for no increases in telephone or natural gas or electricity fees. All I can say is “good luck” as the large companies providing these products are always requesting increases from their governing bodies.

If I had been at the party and tendered my wish, it would have been for an early spring. That way I could get my yard in shape early and walk on the green grass in bare feet before April 1.

Because I don’t like ice and snow very much, an early melt and a valley filled with sunshine would suit my soul. I could sit on my deck and bask in the glory of the coming summer.

If my golfing buddies had been at the party, they would have wished for open fairways and greens by April 1.

That would give them a long season to strive to break 80 — another one of the magical wishes that might have made it into the hat.

“Jay Walker”

Meaning: One who crosses the street in a reckless or illegal manner.

Origin: Jay birds that traveled outside of the forest into urban areas often became confused and unaware of the potential dangers in the city – like traffic. Amused by their erratic behavior, people began using the term “Jaywalker” to describe someone who crossed the street irresponsibly.

Castlegar News

“It was an experience that I will never forget,” was the simplest way that Cole Stanbra, professional athlete and skater, could describe his most recent performance at the Royal Opera House Muscat in Oman.

Broadway on Ice was the title of the star studded event where renowned skaters and musicians came to showcase their talents and dazzle a crowd with some relatively high standards.

Hosted and produced by Willie Bietak Productions, Broadway on Ice is an extravagant show performed annually around Christmas time delivering the grandiose entertainment associated with Broadway, combined with the grace and finesse of figure skating.

This is where Stanbra comes in.

Born and raised in Castlegar, Stanbra has represented the Castlegar Skating Club at six national championships and has been skating on cruise ships for the past six years.

The ships he performs on are associated with Willie Bietak (W.B.) Productions and that is exactly how he got his foot in the door.

“I’ve been with W.B. since 2008 and I was one of the lucky ones to be chosen. W.B. like their regulars. Skaters who can be consistent because it’s such a large show and they can’t afford the time to teach all of these new skaters.”

W.B. has 10 cruise ships that they run shows on and Broadway on Ice is one of their only land shows. This performance is usually kept to one location, but this time the production was expanded and shows were put on in Cancun and Oman. Stanbra was part of the Oman show.

The transition from the smaller shows on the cruise lines to this massive show in the Royal Opera House did take its toll on the young skater.

“The two settings are a lot different actually. When we first get to the ship and start rehearsing for a show we have two weeks to prepare ourselves. I feel like that’s a little more time to get used to everything, whereas with Broad-

Cole Stanbra performs a number from the musical Jersey Boys at the Royal Opera House Muscat in Oman.

Hardest show he’s ever done continued from page A7

“We did have to be careful over there.

All of our girls over there had to be completely covered head to toe and no skin was to be showing. Everyone was a little nervous about that but it ended up being totally fine.”

As for the actual performance, Stanbra was involved in a number of memorable shows pieces including Phantom of the Opera, Chicago and Jersey Boys. The last number received exceptional praise from critics at the event.

The Jersey Boys number was especially

Certain messages need to be repeated several times

difficult due to the fact that there were only four boys in the group. Stanbra said this made it harder because “if one person is off then everyone else looks off ” more so than other performances.

However, the show can’t go on forever and all good things must come to an end.

Stanbra will be off performing on the open waters again after a brief visit in Castlegar with family and friends.

As for the future, Stanbra recently purchased a condo in Vancouver, so he considers himself locked into the cruise line business for the next couple of years, but he would love to eventually get into

coaching.

“This definitely isn’t something I can do forever, but I would like to give back to the sport. Whether that be by coaching or doing something along those lines.”

Stanbra is hopeful that the team will approach him next year to perform again and if they do he already has his answer, “Yes, definitely yes.

“It was probably the hardest show that I’ve ever done in my entire life, but every experience that I went through whether it was good or bad I can definitely take with me, and I’ve definitely grown as a skater which is great.”

The Castlegar Rebels defeated the Grand Forks Border Bruins 3-1 on Friday night, then dropped a 4-1 decision to the 100 Mile House Wranglers.

Friday night’s hockey game was tight and defensive.

Castlegar’s Cal Owens was the first player to find the back

of the net, just under halfway through the second. Determined not to let the game slip away this early, the Bruins’ Stephen Shikaze tied it up at the end of the period.

The third opened with a bang as Ryan Rosich slammed the puck past the netminder within 15 seconds of puck drop. Strong defense held the Bruins at bay for the remainder of the period

and for good measure Dylan Ofner scored for the Rebels, finishing the game 3-1.

Rebels’ Yannis Soukas was the first star for the game with his contribution of three assists.

The next night the Rebels clashed with the 100 Mile House Wranglers. The Wranglers proved to be too much for the Rebels though, winning 4-1.

Castlegar’s only goal came

in the final period when Brett Leidl scored to avoid the shutout.

The Rebels are in third place within their division behind the second place Nelson Leafs and the first place Beaver Valley Nitehawks.

Castlegar will be on the road for four games, returning home January 17 to face off against the Spokane Braves.

Team Price won the annual Christmas Charity Hockey Classic 4-3 in a shoot-out over Team Gorkoff.

Classic hockey battle This year’s Christmas Charity Hockey Classic lived up to its name as Team Gorkoff faced off against Team Price while more than 300 people watched at the Castlegar Complex.

The annual hockey game was all tied up after regulation time and overtime solved nothing, forcing the game into a shoot-out.

In a bold move by Team Price, coach Ryan Byers, switched goaltenders for the shoot-out, putting in a rested Curtis Siminoff. The move paid off as the new goalie stopped all three shots

for the victory.

Dave Bond came up with the clutch tying goal and shoot out winner as Team Price defeated Team Gorkoff in an epic Christmas Classic Game.

The real winners that night were the Selkirk Saints hockey club which raised more than $1,000 at the event.

Head of Selkirk College Athletics, Kim Verigin worked hand in hand with Christmas Classic organizer Bergen Price to put on a first class event.

Thank You Thank you to the residents and businesses of Castlegar and to the labour community. Your support made a difference in getting a fair deal. We are glad to be back on the job, working to keep Castlegar a safe and enjoyable place to live and work.

Saints back in action When the Selkirk College Saints return to the Castlegar Recreation Complex on Friday night to get started on the second half of the British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League (BCIHL) season, student talent will be on display both on and off the ice.

League leading Trinity Western University arrives to the Kootenays this weekend for a crucial two-game series, but there will be more than great hockey for community members to check out. For the second half of the BCIHL season, the Saints are inviting different Selkirk College programs to shed light on their educational pathways.

Team collaborates with college kids continued from page A12

There will be an information booth at the game and students will answer questions about the department programs at the college.

“Students in our department are training for some of the hardest and most needed jobs in our community: child care, elder care, family counseling, addictions counseling, support for people with disabilities and victims of abuse,” says Brunner.

“You name it, if people need support, that’s what we’re learning to do.”

Throughout the second half of the season, the hockey club will collaborate with other departments to promote its home games and fundraise for charitable causes.

“We have three objectives with this project,” said Human Services instructor Jane Green. “Support the Saints, promote the departments at the college, and round up donations for charitable causes.

Human Services Department students at Selkirk College Shawna Cerovec, Jessica Lupton and Angelika Brunner — are preparing to take non-perishable food items at the door of the Selkirk College Saints game this Friday.

dent team to have some fun!”

The department hopes a lot of people will come out for the first game so they can set the bar high.

“If we do a good job of getting people through the door for the first game, the other departments will have to try to top us and we’ll just be that much more successful raising donations for our causes the rest of the year,” said Brunner.

The first charity of the year is the Selkirk College Student Food Bank, which was recently depleted. Paying tuition and scraping by on a meagre income leaves many students

short on basic needs.

“It’s a shame that some people have to choose between food or an education,” says Brunner. “We want to help make it easier for those students who are struggling so hard to improve their future.”

The defending BCIHL champion Saints are currently five points behind league leading Trinity Western. Friday’s game starts at 7 p.m. and the department is urging fans to bring a non-perishable donation. The two teams will return to action on Saturday night with the puck dropping once again at 7 p.m.

Aquaponics: A sustainable solution

Minimizing reliance on industrial farms In today’s society where population growth is rampant and living standards are on the rise globally, there is a subsequent demand for more food to feed the growing population. In the past we’ve met this demand with more output from industrial farm operations. However there is a move afoot to steer away from the factory farm and towards local, sustainably grown food.

The current model of industrial agriculture thrives on three factors that are no longer an option: cheap fossil fuels, unlimited water, and a stable climate. Cheap fossil fuels are a thing of the past and today’s increasing oil prices affects and will continue to affect the price of food. Modern industrial agriculture is also the single largest contributor of CO2 emissions. Similarly, water is no longer “unlimited.” In fact it is a very precious resource we often take for granted.

As populations grow so does our demand for water to raise the food needed. Unfortunately, this demand is causing ground water supplies to be drawn down. Global warming is giving us longer droughts, heavier rains, hot days, and colder nights. Hard to grow food in these conditions.

Industrial agriculture at its current rate is unsustainable.

The price of food will continue to skyrocket, our natural resources will eventually be depleted, and our climate

will continue to change at an alarming rate. Food will be available to only the few who can afford it.

In an effort to minimize reliance on industrial farms, more people are turning to non-traditional methods for growing food. There is one sustainable farming technique in particular that is growing in popularity and could be a solution to our growing food issues.

Aquaponics is a revolutionary technique merging two major food-generating systems, hydroponics and aquaculture, into one. This involves the cultivation of fish and plants together in a constructed, recirculating ecosystem. It utilizes natural bacterial cycles to convert fish waste into usable plant nutrients and plants to filter the water. The result is an environmentally friendly system for growing food that solves the greatest weaknesses

of both currently accepted methodologies from which it was spawned. It is no longer necessary to pollute waterways or rely on chemical fertilizers.

Putting it simply, the fish waste feeds the plants and the plants clean the water.

The aquaponic system has a number of advantages. For the fish, all that is required is the periodic top-up of water levels to offset losses to evaporation and transpiration. This has the potential to relieve a great deal of pressure on water conservation efforts worldwide. Water in an aquaponic system recirculates rather than seeping into the groundwater. To feed the plants, waste from feeding fish is inexpensive compared to hydroponic nutrient solutions and does not rely on the over-mining of essential nutrients.

Madalyn Elizabeth Skavlebo “Dearest Madalyn, please know that our greatest blessing was loving you.”

Madalyn Elizabeth Skavlebo was born on Friday July 18th, 2014 at 9:39am to parents Jason and Sarah Skavlebo at the Trail Regional Hospital. She weighed 7.2 lbs and was 20 inches long. Madalyn was born with unexpected complications; eventually we had the diagnosis of PHACES syndrome. The major contributor to this diagnosis was that she was born without a sternum (her heart was flush to the outer skin and protected only by a thin membrane). She was given the nickname of “Warrior Princess”. She came out fighting and continued to fight with every inch of her being for her entire life.

Introducing our new advice columnist

Miss Sensibility When someone

you love becomes

Dear Miss Sensibility, Hi, I keep asking my friends about this and I keep getting conflicting and confusing answers so here goes - I am struggling with my significant other. I find myself bored and frustrated a lot. Any tips on getting the spark back in a relationship when it seems all that is left are ashes?

- Anonymous

Dear Anonymous,

Seeing the glow of a relationship fade is a common problem, but not necessarily one that signals the end. Dissatisfaction can creep into a relationship and cause us to focus on the negative and begin to look for things that are not meeting our idea of what a good relationship should be.

My first suggestion is to focus on the positive. What was it that you fell in love with in the beginning? Focus on the good, and the things that you love about each other. The longer you are together, the more you know about each other, this includes the good, along with the bad. We tend to get distracted by small, annoying traits, and forget about the way our hearts are touched. Is the tooth paste tube, toilet paper roll, finger nail biting or dirty socks really that big of a deal?

Another relationship must is to continue to date your spouse and work on the romance aspect. As much as Hollywood would like us to believe otherwise, romance is not usually spontaneous and requires some work.

Make the time to do something fun together. If you have kids, leave them with a sitter! Family time is important, but couple time is too. Do this on a regular basis.

One of the best ways to rekindle some spark is a few days away together. I would actually recommend doing this several times a year. In our home, we have stopped buying each other Valentines and Anniversary gifts and instead use the money to sneak away for a few days. Don’t turn your trip into a shopping marathon or take a to do list. Just spend time enjoying each other’s company, go to a show, eat some good food, relax and let the sparks fly! Sensibly yours,

a memory. . . that

memory becomes a treasure.

Rudy Walter Rudy Walter passed away peacefully on December 17, 2014, at the age of 96, with Marga, his loving wife of 61 years, by his side. Rudy also leaves behind his son Norm (Joan), daughters Karen (Robert) Bedin and Angie (Rick) Gibson, and granddaughters Stephanie, Michelle, Becky and Carolyn. Rudy had a very interesting life, emigrating from Germany in 1951. Rudy and Marga moved from Ontario in 1960 and made Castlegar their home ever since. Rudy was an extremely active person; he loved to ski and rode his bike to work at Celgar every day. He and Marga enjoyed more than 30 years of retirement and took full advantage by making many trips abroad. He will be missed very much by all who knew him. A memorial service was held at the Castlegar United Church on December 22. As an expression of sympathy, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society or a charity of your choice.

Maddy was enroute to BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver within the first few hours of her life.

Doctors at BCCH had never seen a diagnosis like Madalyn’s. She was the 91st in the world to survive this birth defect. Her first two weeks of her life were spent in the PICU with an eventual transfer to the pediatric ward for further observation. After 5 days on the ward we were going home to rejoin daddy and for her to meet her two older brothers for the first time. We were blessed in having her to love for another 4.5 months.

During her short time with us Maddy met many wonderful people, formed special bonds with family and friends. One important lesson we learned from her was how precious life was. How important it was to slow down and live each day with love and a smile.

Her smile was infectious and she shared it with all who interacted with her. She experienced things that not many infants ever experience. A total of six flights with Pacific Coastal for consults with her surgical teams in Vancouver. She also had to endure plastic surgery to start the long process of tissue expansion which was the beginning step to an eventual sternum by late spring.

Madalyn started getting sick at Christmas and she just couldn’t conquer it. On Sunday December 28th with her doctors, nurses and support staff of the KBRH by her side she earned her angel wings. Maddy was deeply loved by her mommy and daddy, big brothers Jaxson and Sawyer, her Nana and Papa, her Grandma and Grandpa, and Great Grandmas, Aunts and Uncles and Great Aunts and Uncles, Cousins and many others.

We will forever be in debt with the amazing hospital staff at KBRH; Dr. Knox, Dr. Loukras, and Dr. Reid and the wonderful nursing staff on maternity and pediatrics. We would never have had Maddy for as long as we did without the caring and dedicated staff at BC Children’s Hospital; the staff in the PICU, and her two surgeons Dr. Ghandi and Dr. Arneja.

We cannot thank The Ronald McDonald House and Hope Air enough for their vital part in assisting Maddy with both accommodation and flights to get her to Vancouver for her surgical appointments.

Ronald McDonald House became our sanctuary away from home. We will forever be so grateful for the love and support from Kalesnikoff Lumber, Interior Health Employees and those that generously donated to the gofundme account for Madalyn; Kinnaird Elementary for their love and support as well as the Rotary Club.

An open house will held on Sunday January 11th at the Fireside Inn in Castlegar between the hours of 1pm-5pm to celebrate our “Warrior Princess”. For those that would like to join the celebration we welcome your presence. In Lieu of flowers please donate to BCCH or Ronald McDonald House.
