New look Kootenay Columbia All parties except Liberals now have candidate TOWNSMAN/BULLETIN
A federal election is imminent this year, and for the first time the riding of Kootenay-Co-
lumbia includes the city of Nelson. New lines were drawn in several federal electoral districts in Canada for 2015, there are a number of big changes in the Kootenay-Columbia district, as well as the neighbouring B.C. Southern Interior district.
Those changes include Nelson, Kaslo and Salmo becoming a part of Kootenay-Columbia and Penticton joining the South Okanagan-West Kootenay, as it is to be renamed (currently named B.C. Southern Interior). See Page 4
Shelby Schiller reached back into her childhood to win the Kootenay Granite Stone Soup Challenge. A chef at BJ’s Restaurant and Creekside Pub in Kimberley, Schiller made a tomato beef soup that has been in the family since she was a little girl. “We grew up with a lot of people in my family so we did a lot of gardening and stuff ourselves, so my baba [grandma] had her own canned, jarred tomatoes and that was the staple,” Schiller said. “We always had cabbage, carrots, onions and celery, so she just made soup out of it one day.
Shelby Schiller waits for the announcement of the wiinner. “That was the first thing my mom—I can remember her teaching me how to make it.” In a packed ballroom
at the Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort, the Stone Soup Challenge concluded as Schiller went head-to-head with

able for children’s teams. Compete as a team of up to four or as an individual. This year the Iron Legs has been pushed up two weeks to March 14. KAR events coordinator Megan Field encourages entrants to get into the St. Patrick’s spirit by wearing green. It’s also the beginning of March break. Conditions on the mountain are great, Field says. “Competitors will receive a
voucher for a burger from the barbecue after the race, and we will have awards in the plaza. It should be a fun, rewarding day.” Please email events@skikimberley.com or call (250) 432-0313 if you are planning to register for this event or interested to be a volunteer. If you or friends do not cross country ski, please notify KAR and it may be possible to fill that portion of the Quadrathon for you.
