Flag flies at entrance to city Betsy Kline Castlegar News

Castlegar Communities in Bloom (CIB) has once again further beautified our city.

You can now see a Canadian flag flying proudly on a tall flag pole at the north end of Columbia Ave. just before the Robson bridge.

The flag pole was the brainchild of CIB member Kathy Gregory who thought it would be a great way to welcome people to Castlegar.

Part of her inspiration was the fact that this is the 50th anniversary of the current design of the Canadian Flag.

Fundraising efforts began in February and the project came together quickly.

“I would truly like to thank all that donated and helped me through this.” said Gregory.

A grand opening ceremony will be held July 27 at 9 a.m.

The event will coincide with the judging of the Communities in Bloom competition.

One aspect of the judging is community involvement so CIB organizers would like to invite and encourage the community to come out for the ceremony.

“The more people who come, the better,” added Gregory.

The generous individual and business donors will be honoured at the ceremony with the installation of a bronze plaque listing donors names.

Several organizations donated $500 or more to the project:

Castlegar’s Communities in Bloom flag.

Steve’s No Frills, Kootenay Savings, Zellstoff Celgar, Teck, Heritage Credit Union, City of Castlegar, Fortis BC and Regional District of Central Kootenay Areas I and J.

Celebrating 10 years of community involvement

Submitted to the Castlegar News Communities in Bloom is a Canadian non-profit organization committed to fostering civic pride, environmental responsibility and beautification through community involvement and the challenge of a national program, with focus on enhancing green spaces in communities.

This year Castlegar celebrates 10 years of participating in this national program.

With beginnings in 2004, Castlegar Communities in Bloom volunteers, continue to ignite and engage our community in improving the quality of life in the city.

From tidiness efforts to art projects, citizens are noticing the change from what Castlegar used to be.

Sculpture Walk Sculpture Walk began with Communities in Bloom installing the first sculpture in Castlegar in 2008, now Castlegar is known as the Sculpture Capital of Canada.

According to the organization, volunteers make it happen.

Communities in Bloom In 2014, Castlegar was recognized as a 5 Bloom International Small Population Category winner.

This year Castlegar is entered in Class of Champions competition, the second highest competitive level in the program.

Celebrating Volunteerism is the theme for 2015 and there already a lot of volunteers engaged in this year’s projects.

Raise the Flag Fundraising for a flag pole, with Canadian Flag and a plaque honoring those who have worked for many years, began early last year. Communities in Bloom and special guests will Raise The Flag at the Robson Interchange site, at 9 a.m. on Monday July 27.

Eco Sculptures Eco Sculptures have become a part of our community, with a partnership with the City of Burnaby. Frogs, eagles and a butterfly proudly share another form of art expression in Castlegar.

Peony Show The organization also hosted the 2015 Canadian Peony Show June 27 in Castlegar and the first juried show in BC was “hugely successful” stated show chair Holly Pender-Love.

Art Diversity Art Diversity, coordinated by student Syerra Postnikoff, and sponsored by a Youth Action grant from Columbia Basin Trust, showcases the talents of students

and staff at Stanley Humphries Art Program.

The resulting works with “Waters from the Columbia River” as a theme, are simply phenomenal.

This art will be displayed on Columbia Avenue in the 2200 block.

Naturefest Castlegar Garden & Naturefest, has been supported by Communities in Bloom for the past six years. It is getting bigger and better every year.

Partnerships Partnerships with schools, teaching, mentoring and supporting in various ways, have educated local youth on the environment and its future. Distributing trees at Blueberry Community Hub and having a special program to celebrate the life of a tree, was a very fun event for all.

“We are proud of our association with this outstanding national organization and our committed group of volunteers.

I cannot think of anything that has had more of a positive impact on our city than this program,” said Darlene Kalawsky, coordinator for Castlegar’s CIB Program.

“The biggest benefit is the entire community working together to make Castlegar the BEST City to live, play and work.”

Castlegar under fire ban BETSY KLINE Castlegar News

Due to the very dry weather conditions, the outdoor burning ban put in place last week still remains in effect for the City of Castlegar.

The prohibition includes backyard campfires, fireworks and any other spark producing burning. Propane and natural gas appliances are excluded.

The Castlegar Fire Department would like to encourage all citizens to remain diligent and follow the ban. The department had to respond to a call over the weekend when a backyard fire got out of control.

Castlegar Fire Chief Gerry Rempel is pleased that most people are following the fire ban.

“I would like to say, that the people of Castlegar have always been very good historically when it gets dry like this. We don’t have a lot of issues. People are very cognizant of the fact generally that it is pretty dry conditions and they are very good.”

The department has also responded to several minor lightning strikes in the city in the past few weeks.

The Castlegar Fire Department does a whole lot more than fight fires. They respond to car accidents, medical emergencies, rescue calls, hazardous material situations and other calls where first responders are needed. They also provide highway rescue for an area that covers from Nancy Green to the Bombi summit, from Pass Creek to the Brilliant Dam and from China Creek to as far up Lower Arrow Lake as you can drive.

A mutual aid agreement with the Robson, Ootischenia, Kootenay Boundary Fire Services and Pass Creek fire departments means that they also respond when those departments have situations that require extra assistance.

Rempel is pleased with the work and training of the Castlegar crew.

“We have a very versatile department.

We have a lot of variety here,” he said.

The Castlegar Fire Department currently has three full time staff consisting of the fire chief, and two deputy chiefs. Twentysix trained firefighters make up the rest of the department, carrying pagers 24/7.

These firefighters mostly volunteer their time as they are only paid for the times

they actually go out on a call.

In spite of having a crew that is on call,the department actually has a very fast “shoot” time – the time it takes from when a call comes in to when the first truck rolls out. An assessment a few years ago showed an average time of just four minutes.

Working in the heat wearing turn out gear that weighs over 30 pounds and is designed not to breathe can bring about heat exhaustion and other heat related injuries quickly. “We have to be very cognizant of that. These are pretty high temperature times.” said Rempell. When you add a 35 pound air tank, the physical toll begins to tally quickly. The department must pay a lot attention to their rehabilitation centres and rest periods when they are on duty.

“We have an excellent community here.

It is my experience through my whole career here, that when we get into times like this when it is super hot and dry, people are really cognizant of that,” said Rempell.

“I would like to thank everybody for that.

Really, relatively speaking, we have minor issues of people caused fires. We are really appreciative of that.”

The regional health community has come together to deal first hand with a projected doctor shortage.

Dr. Cheryl Hume is the director of the new Kootenay Boundary Rural Family Practice Residency Program that has just welcomed its first crew of rural family practice residents.

“The whole intent of the program is to train fully competent and confident physicians who will enter into rural family practice and provide essential primary care in rural areas,” she said.

Statistics suggest that Trail, Fruitvale and Rossland will have to recruit about seven general practitioners over the next year, she said, while Nelson will look to secure another nine. Hume adds that all together the region will need 25 new professionals.

To set up a certified two-year University of British Columbia program is a major accomplishment for the long-time Trail doctor, who just left clinical practice after 28 years of dedication to her patients.

“It’s very interesting and it’s a real privilege to be a rural doctor,” she said. “It’s a demanding job and it takes someone who has adventurous and courageous spirit.

emergency, obstetrical, general primary outpatient and knowing how to function in clinic and then in hospital settings.

Above all, she said, it’s their duty to be a constant advocate for their patients.

“To do that year in, year out, day in, day out over many years is a big job,” she admits.

“When those kinds of people retire or leave practice, it leaves a big hole. Family doctors are the foundation for the health care system.”

The program will attract these professionals to the region but ul-

“Rural doctors have to cope with a lot of stuff that urban doctors don’t have to cope with because they’re often on their own,” she added. “Many of them have advanced skill training in lots of different things and they are very adept or they have to learn to become confident and competent in dealing with stuff that’s quite broad ranging in terms of the skill sets that are demanded.”

The regional approach to the program has the doctors working in Trail, Nelson and remote areas in between.

Dr. Hume considers rural doctors to be full-service care providers, citing the work covered from

timately the community has to win them over. That’s where Terry Van Horn, economic development officer for Lower Columbia Initiatives Corporation, fits in.

Under the Lower Columbia Community Development Team Society, the health and hospital committee has been committed to finding a way of really welcoming medical professionals in a way that will make a lasting impression.

In collaboration with some likeminded people, they’ve come up with a welcome bag that provides information on recreation, employment opportunity (for other members of their family) and other key points about the region.

The grab bag also contains treats and coupons to various businesses across the region to get these individuals out making connections.

“We have to find ways to stand out, to be different from other communities,” said Van Horn. “It’s not enough to say that we have beautiful recreation because the entire province does.

“We have to create an experience that they’re going to remember.”

The ultimate goal is to roll the welcome concept forward into other sectors so that a company trying to solicit skilled professionals to the region, has somewhere to start.

The health and hospital committee was also instrumental in securing grant money toward supporting two years of accommodation to simplify housing needs for the rural family practice residents.

The first welcome bags were doled out last week when the four rural family practice residents were joined by three medical students from the Integrated Clinical Clerkship (ICC) program.

In its fifth year running, ICC invites third-year medical student to rural medical offices and hospitals for hands-on training.

Unlike a traditional block rotation where a student would work in one area of the hospital for a

time then move on to another, the integrated clerkship allows a student to work with patients through the entire care cycle—from diagnosis to treatment and follow-up.

Dr. Hume suggests enticing medical professionals with programs like this is only half of the equation. The community needs to convince them to stay after their stint.

“What happens often is that we have to be careful that we really welcome and include these people in the community and that we make their experience happy for them so they’re encouraged to stay and that they establish and set up,” she said.

Letter

Jumbo decision momentous June 18 was a momentous date for the people of the Kootenay and British Columbia – cancellation of the Environmental Assessment Certificate (EAC) for Jumbo Glacier Resort must now mark the end of a decades-long struggle for the protection of one of this region’s most beloved wild places, the Jumbo Valley.

The would-be developers failed to make a substantial start on their fabled resort despite a ten-year window of permission and the absurd creation and public financing of an entire municipal structure to enable them to proceed.

On June 18, the Province of BC said “enough is enough” and allowed the resort’s environmental approval to permanently expire.

What has been left behind is a hot mess to be cleaned up one piece at a time. There are five major questions that the Province must respond to in order to hold true to the determination that Jumbo Resort approvals are truly expired: 1. When will the Master Development

Barber before enrolling in Malvern College. This photograph captures an aura of seriousness and concentration in the young boy.

Agreement be formally cancelled?

2. When will the Province dissolve the Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality?

3. When will the Province terminate the remnant land use tenures for Glacier Resorts Ltd.?

4. When will the Province follow through on their requirement that the developer must remove and remediate the illegal physical works at the former resort site?

5. What type of process would the developer have to go through if they were to attempt to proceed with a new, scaled-back resort proposal?

Minister Polack demonstrated great integrity in calling Glacier Resort’s bluff, but the Jumbo Valley will continue to be at risk until the Province firmly closes all remaining backdoors to resort development in the Jumbo and Farnham valleys.

Challenges make me feel alive I’m a fixer; the kind of person who loves to be handed a challenge.

Challenges, especially the most difficult, send my blood rushing. Challenges make me feel alive.

My father, I suppose, was the influence for me in that respect.

There wasn’t anything he couldn’t do if he just set his mind to it. I saw it again and again in my life; the first being when I would watch my father heading out the door, resume in hand, on a cold Winnipeg day without a coat, looking for work.

“Me? Cold?” he would respond with a chuckle when someone would question his lack of anything more substantial than a sweater on those bitter, frost-bitten mornings.

What most people likely didn’t know was that he couldn’t afford a jacket. Not when he had five growing children to clothe. So, instead of a warm jacket, he would slip on the facade of a tough, I-can-withstandanything-even-the-cold man.

What a lot of people also didn’t know was that his perfectly buffed but well-worn shoes were also hiding a secret. They were so worn that there were holes in the soles. To

Off the Line

Karen Haviland cover those holes my father would slip in bits of cardboard which did little in the way of keeping out water, mud or snow. But, dad had children to raise and a job waiting to be found. He never, despite dire circumstances, presented the picture of a conquered man and I fiercely loved and respected him for that.

He never once donned the face of defeat no matter how dire the circumstances. If you wanted a problem solved, just ask my dad.

Everyone who knew him knew Herb would find a solution. That’s just the kind of guy he was — the kind who never, not for one second, considered defeat.

For that trait I can thank my father. That determination (some call it stubbornness) has resulted in some wonderful moments of feeling the rich flush of success after accomplishing things which Pam Malekow Office Manager

many said couldn’t be done. It has enriched my life and opened doors where some would say there were no doors.

Yes sir. I showed them alright. To me there was no such thing as no.

All I had to do was work hard on a solution and never, ever, under any circumstances, give up.

I’m thankful for that trait. Today, more now than ever, that trait could literally mean the difference between life and death for me.

As I am sure most of you have gathered by now I have kidney disease. No diet or magical cure is going to come my way. My kidney function is at less than 10 per cent.

The best I can hope for now is a kidney transplant. I can’t believe I just wrote that. The reality of it is right here on my screen in black and white and I find it shocking. This is no dream. This is not a challenge with a blue ribbon waiting for me at the finish line.

The only race I am in now is one to find a kidney before this cruel, wicked disease claims my life. The prize? My life. That’s it. The rules are clear. The lines have been drawn and Christine Esovoloff Sales Associate

now I must pull out every vestige of strength and commitment and fight for my life.

I’m not fighting for glory or bragging rights. My prize is literally my life.

My husband and I just returned from Vancouver where we met with the transplant team at St. Paul’s Hospital. My disease, the treatment and other such details were explained to us in every aspect.

I have AB blood, which, the specialist explained, means that I can accept a donation from any blood type. Should I have a live donor ready to donate and cleared by the team, I could have a transplant in as few as three or four months. I can only imagine how it would feel to have this death sentence commuted.

Should I have to wait for a cadaver donor, however, my wait could be excruciatingly long. The reality is I could even die while waiting for a kidney.

I am relieved that the transplant team consults closely with any potential donor. In the end, the team wants the best, not just for me, the recipient, but more so for the live

donor. Because a person only needs one healthy kidney to live he or she can donate a kidney and yet still live a long and healthy life.

My prayer every night now is that someone will step forward and offer me this life-giving gift. Dialysis, which I am currently undergoing, is not for the faint of heart. Thank goodness I am tough and have a loving husband standing beside me. Unfortunately I am not tough enough to stave off this life-sucking disease forever. It wants me and unless I receive a transplant, it will ultimately take me.

If you know someone with kidney disease or want to know more about kidney donation, you can contact me (through this newspaper) or the transplant team at St. Paul’s Hospital. They have a plethora of information they will send to you.

Community work pays off Chelsea Novak Castlegar News

Two Castlegar students earned Community Champs Bursaries from Kootenay Savings this year.

Svetlana Hadikins and Victoria Francis each received $2,000 towards their post-secondary education.

The Community Champs Bursaries award students who participate in their communities to make a difference and give something back. Four bursaries are handed out each year.

“We had a ton of amazing applicants ... and looking at both [Hadikins and Francis’s] applications and submissions the amount of work they’re doing, not only in their community, but at their school, ... when you roll it all together, they were two really strong and deserving recipients,” says Aron Burke, the community liaison for Kootenay Savings.

Francis has done a variety of community service work over the years, like helping out with painting and fundraising. She’s also worked at several summer camps.

“For the past couple of years I’ve been working at summer camps, like summer theatre camp Stage Right last year,” she says, “and I always help with music camps during the summer, and soccer camp.”

She’s also volunteered playing the piano for the funeral community service, and sings in the choir.

Francis plans to attend Selkirk College for a year before transferring to UBC where she’ll complete a bachelor’s degree in English. Afterwards she hopes to do a master’s degree in library studies.

Her fellow recepient, Hadikins, is president of the Castlegar Rotary Interact Club, a volunteering organization for high school students that does garbage cleanups and other community projects. The group also fundraises for a goodwill trip every two years.

“I’ve been on a trip before,” says Hadikins, “it was to Bolivia in the summer of 2013, and we built an outdoor sports facility, and a centre for children and adults with disabilities.”

Hadikins plans to become a doctor, and will attend the rural pre-med program at Selkirk College in the fall. She was excited to receive the bursary.

“Every little bit of support helps,” she says.

Region will benefit from KAST grant

The Kootenay Association for Science and Technology has just received a substantial grant.

David Wilks, Member of Parliament for Kootenay—Columbia, on behalf of the Honourable Michelle Rempel, Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification, announced a $748,601 investment to the Kootenay Association for Science and Technology (KAST) to establish a metallurgical industry development accelerator in the West Kootenay.

Funding, provided through the Western Diversification Program, will allow KAST to establish and operate a centre for Metallurgical Industrial Development Acceleration and Studies (MIDAS). This

sector-targeted applied research and commercialization centre will provide downstream metallurgical expertise, a digital fabrication laboratory, and business development support for the region.

MIDAS will assist with the establishment and growth of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by strengthening the direct-to-market deployment of mineral/metal by-products; supporting applied research and development of commercial applications; providing technical training in metallurgical science and digital fabrication; and offering business mentoring.

“Our Government recognizes that a robust economy relies on the

strengths of all communities across the West,” said Wilks. “This investment will strengthen industry in B.C.’s rural sector, which will serve to diversify and strengthen Western Canada’s economy as a whole.”

“Long proximity to Teck’s Trail Operations has created a West Kootenay where our deep technical and entrepreneurial talent, industrial innovation and access to metallurgical material can create high quality rural jobs and opportunities for local businesses, all while enjoying our unbeatable access to the great outdoors,” said Leon Pigott, KAST Board Chair. “MIDAS provides companies and entrepreneurs the tools, coaching and technical expertise needed to succeed.”

Champions of literacy honoured

Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy recently honoured Champions for Literacy at a ceremony held at Selkirk College on June 25.

The group defines a Champion for Literacy as an individual, organization, service group or business that has contributed to literacy in the community.

Nominees were acknowledged with a certificate and gift.

Castlegar News (Black Press) was honoured to

be one of this year’s recipients.

Other recipients were: Arlee Venier, Denise Currie, Gloria Boyle, Helenne Jones, Olga Jacinto, Sarah Fawcett, Sandra Wyllie, Kim Kratky, Lynnene Lewis, Amy Furman, June Van Arendonk, Corinne Svardfeldt and Zellstoff Celgar.

The Community Literacy Award was presented to Audrey Moore, former Castlegar librarian and mayor, for her outstanding commitment and dedication to literacy and the community.

Salmo byelection set for September 12

Nelson Star Staff Salmo residents go to the polls in September to choose two new village councillors to replace the pair who resigned last month.

Nomination packages will be available Wednesday and candidates can submit their papers between July 28 and 4 p.m. on Aug. 7.

If fewer than two people run, the nomination deadline may be extended until Aug. 10. If there are exactly two, they could be declared acclaimed on Aug. 17.

If three or more people run, a byelection will be held Sept. 12, with the winners sworn in on Oct. 13 for a three-year term.

The byelection was called after Cathy Paton and Ken Anderson quit suddenly and with little public explanation. The village has declined to release their letters of resignation based on legal advice, as the letters refer to “confidential matters and personal information.”

Anderson and Paton topped the polls in last year’s general election.

In a brief statement after stepping down, Paton said she was sorry she wasn’t able to continue the job. “I was honoured that so many residents voted for me, and it was definitely an honour to represent them for the short time I did,” she said.

Anderson did not explain his decision in detail either but in an email said he had “much support and encouragement” from residents.

“I was hoping for an enjoyable four years on council to help Salmo move forward in a positive direction, but unfortunately a number of issues that caused me to resign.”

Council is continuing to function with a bare quorum of three: mayor Stephen White and councillors Steven Dimock and Dan Danforth.

White told the Star the resignations surprised him.

Studio Arts Exhibit at Kootenay Gallery Graduates from the Kootenay Studio Arts at Selkirk College in Nelson opened an exhibit of their work on July 8 at the Kootenay Art Gallery.

Artifacts on display and for sale include original creations in ceramics, fibre art, metal work and jewelry.

Students at the Studio Arts Around Arts program combine hands-on studio work Castlegar with academic studies in design, drawing and professional practice. Working, professional artists provide students with individual attention in small class sizes and extended studio hours.

In ceramics, students learn contemporary ceramic design as well as traditional techniques in handbuilding, mold-making, wheel-forming, glazing and firing. There have been many interesting innovations in ceramics since the clunky coffee mug era of the 60s.

We can admire and buy some of them at this exhibit.

Fibre art includes studies and design in weaving, felting, dyeing, screen printing and pattern drafting — in short, anything that involves fabric, from the clothes we wear to the drapes we use to adorn our homes. This is a marvelous opportunity to pur-

DOES EVERYBODY MUMBLE? Maybe it’s time to get your hearing checked...

chase something new and unique for our home or fall wardrobe.

In metal work students learn how to design, mold and cast in bronze and other metals, reaching a level appropriate for a blacksmith. Many creative works by local metal workers are included in the Castlegar Sculpture Walk. Kootenay Forge in Crawford Bay, showcasing their interesting hooks and closures, is responsible for decorating many bathrooms and hallways in the area.

People have been making and adorning themselves with jewelry for over 100,000 years. The jewelry studio courses provide students instruction in jewelry fabrication, forming and casting techniques in nonferrous metals as well as jewelry design processes.

We have seen the outcome from previous students at many farmer’s markets and craft stores throughout the area. Now we have the occasion to appreciate and purchase innovative work by this new class of artists.

We are fortunate to not only be able to admire the work from graduates of the Studio Arts program, but to also have the opportunity to purchase some of their creations. If you are redecorating your home or are looking for a gift, why not consider a locallymade product?

The exhibit opened on July 8 and will continue through to Saturday, August 1 at the air-conditioned Kootenay Gallery of Art. It is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located across from the airport on Heritage Way.

Join Connect Hearing on Saturday July 25th from 10am - 2pm when we will be hosting complimentary Hearing Health Checks during the Grand Opening of the IDA Castlegar Community Pharmacy at 1002 Columbia Ave. During the event there will be a barbecue & cold refreshments and we will be accepting donations to the Castlegar Legion.

Castlegar country singer touring BC and Alberta this summer

2015

Betsy Kline Castlegar News

Castlegar country singer Lisa Nicole is having a busy summer.

After completing shows at the Calgary Stampede and the Element Club in Castlegar last week, she will be spending the rest of the month touring all over B.C. and Alberta. With eight more shows to go, her travels will take her to the Alberta cities of Banff, Edson, Grand Prairie and Peace River and the British Columbia cities of Dawson Creek, Prince George, and Lillooet, before finally ending up at the Rockin’ River Fest in Merritt, BC. Lisa is promoting her new single Do You Like That. The song is based around a girl in a laundromat. The lyrics say, The clothes are spinning like the thoughts in my head, thinking why’d you ever let love do you like that.

“The song is about how as girls or women, we sometimes go back to the same relationships over and over, and not learning or realizing that they deserve so much more,” said Nicole.

You can find a lyric video of the song on youtube.

Lisa is also currently in the Top 10 of the BCCMA/Music Artist Development Project. The program is designed to offer aspiring country artists education, showcase opportunities and funding to build and nurture their careers. The winning artist will perform at the BCCMA awards, and participate in a 10-week Artist Entrepreneur Program at Coalition Music in Toronto, spend time in Nashville, record three singles and take home over $10,000 in cash and prizes.

At this point she has five large tasks to complete that are being scored. One of them is showing

Ravencourt welcomes the Clinton Swanson Trio

The third house concert of the season will be coming up at Ravencourt B&B in the Slocan Valley on Saturday, July 25 at 7 p.m.

After touching on the Celtic, then ringing in the blues, it’s time for a little classic jazz when the Clinton Swanson Trio dropped by to bend some notes in the courtyard of this straw bale B&B. In the classic trio setting of drums, acoustic bass, and tenor saxophone the Clinton Swanson Trio pays tribute to the legendary

TICK TOCK...

TICK TOCK...

jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins.

Saxophonist Clinton Swanson has always been inspired by Sonny Rollins and will perform songs from Sonny’s famous repertoire of calypsos, originals, and jazz standards. Joining Clinton will be Doug Stephenson on acoustic bass and Steven Parish on drums.

The Ravencourt concerts continue to be a popular summer pastime, so you can expect a pretty full house will be in attendance.

It’s recommended to come earlier and enjoy the ambience of Raven-

court before the music begins.

Admission for these concerts (as always) is by donation with all proceeds going to the performers.

Ravencourt B&B is located at 4615 Upper Passmore Rd. (www. ravencourtbandb.com). Turn off Highway 6 at Passmore, cross the bridge and follow the signs to pure musical enjoyment. It’s a windy drive down to this strawbale B&B, but well worth the discovery. Refreshments will be available. For more information phone 250-226-7801.

Because remembering her is easy, We do it every day.

But there is an ache within our Hearts that will never go away.

The heart of Kootenay bluegrass Chelsea Novak Castlegar News

There isn’t a very big crowd gathered Friday night for the 14th annual Bluegrass Jamboree. Many of those sitting in the benches and lawn chairs in front of the Regional Exhibition Society Bandstand at the Pass-Creek fairgrounds are there to play, while only a few have come just to listen.

The jamboree’s organizers recognize that the crowds have dwindled over the years—there are even fewer people coming to play—and it’s mostly because the bluegrass fans are aging, and becoming less mobile or passing away.

What the jamboree needs is some young blood, not just on stage and in the stands, but behind the scenes as well.

“We’re all getting older of course,” says Harvey Muller, one of the jamboree’s organizers, “and there’s no young ones to take over for us.”

Muller is one of the original members of Kootenay Connection, a bluegrass band that got its start over 20 years ago. It was members of Kootenay Connection who first organized a bluegrass festival in Castlegar.

“When we were 20 years younger, we had no place to play our bluegrass,” says Eva Mohn, another original member of the band. “We went to Summerland, we went to all of these places in the Okanagan, and it cost a pile of money.

We thought perhaps we would have [a jamboree] at home.”

The jamboree has been held at the Pass-Creek fairgrounds since the beginning, and Kootenay Connection even helped build the bandstand there.

On the back wall of the dressing room are posters with photos of the original Kootenay Connection members. In the faded photos they’re all young, smiling, and holding their bluegrass instruments.

Though many of the original members of the band have passed on, including Muller’s wife, the show goes on.

Muller, Mohn, and others still play as Kootenay Connection and they still put on the jamboree. And though they may be getting on in years, they still know how to have a good time.

After the open mic ends on Friday, musicians jam in the Hills Pavilion or around their campers. They share drinks, and stories about the gigs they’ve played and the people they’ve played with.

The next morning they’re up early for the band scramble. Any musician who’s interested puts their name in, and then names are randomly drawn to make up new bands. There end up being three scramble bands for the morning, and each has an hour to prepare four songs, one of which must include the word “heart” in the lyrics.

Saturday night sees a larger turnout, and another open mic, with eleven bands performing. Kootenay Connection eventually takes the stage singing Tennessee 1949.

“Oh, oh, oh, it would be so fine, if I could just go back to 1949.”

U17 boys bring home the hardware Kootenay South’s U17 boys soccer team came away with a bronze medal at provincials.

The boys used an impressive 3-1 win over Vernon to pick up the hardware at the BC Soccer B Cup Provincial Championships held in Penticton last week.

The U17 boys teams came out of the round robin with a record of one win, one tie and one loss.

The team opened the tournament with a 3-nil win over Cowichan.

In their second game the boys lost to the eventual silver medalists from North Vancouver. The score in that game was 4-nil.

The team responded with a 4-4 draw against Terrace, giving them second place in their pool and into the bronze medal game last Sunday.

There were also three other teams from Kootenay South participating in the B Cup provincials this year.

Also in Penticton, the U16 boys were up against some tough competition.

The boys battled rival Kootenay East to a 1-1 draw in the opening game, but then fell 6-1 to Kelowna, 5-nil to Prince George and 5-1 to Peninsula in the final game for fifth and sixth place overall.

The Kootenay South U14 girls had a 1-nil lead against rival Nelson Selects the championships being held in Nelson.

A win in that game and the girls would have qualified for the bronze medal game.

Unfortunately, the host side scored four goals in

the second half to register the 4-2 victory and take second place in the pool.

The girls opened the tournament with a 3-1 win over Surrey, followed by a 4-1 loss to Kelowna.

The final team involved in the championships in Nelson were the U13 Kootenay South girls.

Despite losing all of its games, the girls didn’t go away empty handed as they won the BC Soccer Fair Play award for their age group.

Kootenay Jiu Jitsu takes 2nd at Western Canadian Comprised of students from Castlegar and Nelson, Kootenay Jiu Jitsu Academy brought home a second place trophy in the Kids Gi division of the 2015 Western Canadian BJJ Championships in Penticton July 4.

Led by coaches Ken Postnikoff (Castlegar) and Brent James (Nelson), the Kootenay kids won the trophy despite being one of the smaller teams in the tournament.

Gold medals were won by Jaden Whitefield, Mika Whitefield, August Whitefield, and Dylan McDonald, with Hazel McDonald and Connor Nelson winning silver medals.

The Kootenay adults also had a

Celgar Pavilion Update

By Wayne Groutage Members of the Rotary projects committee report that work is progressing on the new Pavilion at Millennium Park with an expected completion date in late July.

Construction was held up early in the project when it was discovered the soil under the site had a high clay content and would not provide sufficient drainage under the concrete pad. With a two-week delay, and with soil remediation complete, construction has progressed as planned. The new bike park at Millennium Park benefited from the excess clay, as it provided the ideal material for some of the ramps.

Installation of the gas line to the city washrooms and Pavilion is nearing com-

pletion and a group of Rotarians spent a hot afternoon filling in, compacting, and levelling the 250-metre trench that was dug for the line.

Flooring has been installed, and installation of the kitchen equipment will occur in the next few days. Work on the roof and structure is nearing completion as well.

The Rotary Clubs and the City of Castlegar have formed an operations committee to look at how the completed facility will be managed, incorporating the public use availability while also having a concessionaire operating to serve the public.

Dave Kravski, a member of the project committee, noted he has already received several inquiries in regard to potential usage by individuals, clubs, and corporations.

Sculpture Talk

Welcome to our regular feature introducing the artists behind the sculptures in this year’s Castlegar SculptureWalk.

Zohreh Vahidifard Tehran Iran

30 Birds(2) (iron) Iran’s cultural and artistic history over thousands of years is wellknown, so it is little wonder that a vibrant contemporary art scene flourishes in the country – Zohreh Vahidifard is a sculptor and painter who is part of it. This will be her first showing in North America, although her work has been displayed nationally and in Europe.

Vahidifard has mounted seven solo exhibitions and been part of over 70 collective shows of her history/fable-based sculptures and paintings.

Interested in art from an early age, the Teheran sculptor has a Master’s degree in her two main disciplines.

Prior to obtaining her degree she considered studies and a career in medicine but opted to pursue her first passion. She started with drawing, painting decorations and graphics but recognized sculpture would enable greater freedom of

expression, “the need for more and varied space” as she puts it. Her works are often based on historical events/traditional stories, continuing the majestic legacy of Iranian art and culture that has been nurtured for centuries.

30 Birds(2) is based on Persian folklore. A flock of birds were angry with humans for shooting them and ruining their habitat. They flew ceaselessly until they finally reached Ghaf Mountain (Paradise).

Only thirty were left to enjoy it. Vahidifard’s sculpture is them wingtip to wingtip. In light iron she has sculpted them in a large vee, each a likeness of the other. Uniform in light grey, their swift-like, long forked tail feathers are countered by the rounded ruffles of the wings.

It is an impressive piece, collectively grand through the stylized interpretation and replication of each of the chosen thirty.

Where do you draw the inspiration for your sculptures, specifically this year’s entry?

Most of the Iranian literature. 30 birds (Simurgh) is one story in Iranian folk literature. it is about a group of birds angry with the cruelty of hunters therefore they decided to change their place. They passed from mountains, valleys and different places. On the way, most of the birds were tired and died.

Finally some of the birds reached Ghaf Mountain (Paradise) where they rested, looked each other. And noticed, only 30 birds together received true paradise.

Which artist, past or present, has had a major impact on you as a sculptor and why?

I have a quick look at the work of

artists, but I get most of my ideas from Iranian traditional stories and ancient symbols of Iran.

Was there a defining time or moment in your life when you realized sculpting was something you wanted to do for a living?

In adolescence I thought I would become a doctor, but over time I became acquainted with the visual arts and realized the only thing that makes me happy is art. I started with drawings, graphics, makeup, decorations and I concluded I need a wider space, more varied and more numerous spaces in order to express my own thoughts. Thus I choose to become a sculptor.

Do you always utilize the same material(s) as this year’s piece, and why is it your preferred medium?

I use this technique more. I like metals because with metals I can express new and expressive space better.

What is the importance of the arts in today’s society?

Art and beauty are in the nature of each person. History narrates that, before the discovery of spoken language, art was a means to communicate between people. Art is the best means for direct contact between all communities all around the world that make individuals able to transmit their true inner feelings.

accurate and deliberately abstract. Her sculpture of her heroes (and future colleagues one suspects) is clever and imaginative.

Paige Frazee

Milbank, SD USA Leo (metal) The youngest sculptor to ever show at Sioux Falls’ Sculpturewalk, Paige Frazee is just 18 years old. The native of Milbank, South Dakota learned the art of welding from her father; collectively they decided that Paige could produce a better sculpture than one they viewed in a magazine. She sourced the parts and, with her father’s guidance and instruction, crafted the beguiling Leo along with other sculptures.

She has already sold several of them but her heart is set on a career epitomized by the piece she displays here – law enforcement. Frazee will always continue to sculpt she says; immediate plans to attend college studying criminal justice and eventually become a police officer temporarily supersede her artistic creativity. In both name and form, the work she shows here indicates where her immediate future lies.

To better prepare herself for an integral part of policing, Frazee has been volunteering working with disadvantaged youth in nearby Watertown while she prepares for the required studies that will enable her dream job. Her sculpting career might be on the backburner for now but her talent and creativity are evident enough to ensure continuing future works.

The four foot tall Leo – an acronym for law enforcement officers – is a stylized homage to them. Mounted on a shiny metal badge, it is an amalgam of various metal parts. A coiled spring fastened around a solid piece of pipe makes up the torso. Arms casually behind his back and face impassive, Leo sports all the equipment an officer needs - from peaked cap to radio, baton and gun holstered on his belt.

Using all sorts of metal bits and pieces in her depiction, Frazee’s piece is both

Where do you draw the inspiration for your sculptures, specifically this year’s entry?

Normally, when I make a sculpture I just think of something I want to make and do it. This year’s entry was different because I was actually inspired by all law enforcement officers. There are three officers who really inspired me to make LEO. I am only 18 right now but I am going to become a police officer later on in life and I was inspired by these amazing people to make something to at least try to honor them.

Which artist, past or present, has had a major impact on you as a sculptor and why?

My father, Jacque Frazee, has had a major impact on me as a sculptor because he taught me most of what I know. He got me started as a sculptor and taught me to weld.

Was there a defining time or moment in your life when you real-

ized sculpting was something you wanted to do for a living?

There wasn’t really a defining moment for me. I plan on sculpting for the rest of my life, but I am going to do it on the side. My main passion is to become a police officer.

Do you always utilize the same material(s) as this year’s piece, and why is it your preferred medium?

I always use the same materials in my pieces. I use scrap metal and I prefer it because I can find it all over. You can find scrap metal in all shapes and sizes so I can always find something that works for the piece I’m making.

What is the importance of the arts in today’s society?

I think the arts are important in today’s society because it allows people to express themselves.

Sculpture Talk

Welcome to our regular feature introducing the artists behind the sculptures in this year’s Castlegar SculptureWalk.

Nathan Smith Nelson, BC

V Formation (steel) The creativity of Nelson’s Nathan Smith – that’s his steel/fibreglass jellyfish now mounted in the heart of his hometown’s Baker Street – seems to know no bounds. For this year’s Sculpturewalk, he’s incorporating motion and sound to another of his imaginative, intriguing steel-based sculptures.

Expanding beyond the day to day products of Sunsmith Design Studio - gorgeous, uniquely designed household furniture and goods, railings, gates, and much more too – Smith has opted to make this year’s entry kinetic. It is ambitious; an outgrowth of the ever more elaborate stunning sundials he has sculpted previously, and

the desire to expand and continue to grow as an artist. Design is a passion, as is the versatility and splendour of steel. He combines both here wonderfully as always – and ramps it up a notch.

V Formation is a flock of Canada geese in their familiar flying pattern over beautifully styled reeds, cattails and bulrushes. Using waxed rusted steel, and recycled bicycle chains for the elongated necks of the seven birds in the flight, Smith captures their distinctive look - plump bodies and white facial markings - unerringly.

Ingeniously using wire, skateboard bearings, various gears and pulleys, a hand crank and many recycled bicycle parts, Smith’s formation not only flaps its collective wings (at different times, no less) but honks intermittently too! The effect is magical; the creativity displayed sublime. V Formation is sure to be a hit at this year’s show. www.sunsmithdesign.com Where do you draw the inspiration for your sculptures, specifically this year’s entry?

Inspiration for most of my sculpture comes from movements in nature. The passing of time, the flow of water and the wind.

Which artist, past or present, has had a major impact on you as a sculptor and why?

Recently I have discovered a New York based artist named Bob Potts. Potts creates kinetic sculp-

tures propelled by small motors.

This years sculpture is my first kinetic piece and Potts is a large influence.

Was there a defining time or moment in your life when you realized sculpting was something you wanted to do for a living?

No there was no real defining moment that I can recall. I have always been interested in creating things with all mediums ever since I can remember. Sculpture is a wonderful way to explore the creative world in three dimensions.

Do you always utilize the same material(s) as this year’s piece, and why is it your preferred medium?

I use steel as my base material because of it’s strength, flexibility and versatility. I also love to incorporate recycled elements when I can.

What is the importance of the arts in today’s society?

The arts are and have always been a reflection of society. It is important to be creative and support creativity to represent our time and place in history.

Michael Misuraca Castlegar, BC

Prayer Wheel (wood) Michael Misuraca’s entry for this year’s Sculpturewalk is impressive, both in size and ambition. The local sculptor and woodworker – he lives in Ooteschenia where he operates his business, Wild Woodworking – is moving into sculpting more and more, enjoying the self-creativity it fosters.

A graduate of the Joinery/Cabinetry and Furniture Design program at North Island College in Port Alberni, he also earned a Bachelor of Science degree (Biology) at the University of Victoria and took a number of Wood Science courses at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.

Wood is his passion and chosen medium. Sculptures like last year’s Tri-Tonal and his entry this year, to say nothing of the beautiful guitar bodies, cabinets, boxes and furniture he crafts for a living, are indicative of the regard he holds for its properties and his skill in transforming it.

Prayer Wheel combines aspects of a Tibetan prayer wheel with the points of a compass. The four legs of the structure represent the four cardinal directions, and is installed oriented accordingly. The large (24’ by 12’ by 12’) sculpture features a wheel at the top mounted by eight white flumes angling downward; rotating the wheel will turn the cylinder with attached weight centred below the conjunction of the four legs. It is a clever and thoughtful piece that speaks of reverence, karma and spirituality. Misuraca is motivated to create spaces that encourage interaction and functionality with nature – he has succeeded superbly with Prayer Wheel. Misuraca dedicates this work to all the people impacted by the April

25th earthquake in Nepal. www.wildwoodworking.com Where do you draw the inspiration for your sculptures, specifically this year’s entry?

The Tibetan Prayer Wheel was a good model for an interactive work of art that I found intriguing. On this year’s sculpture people will be able cast their prayers out into to the world by turning a wooden prayer wheel while the movement of air will turn a Wind Prayer Wheel. Another inspiration for this year’s sculpture is the four point compass rose. The four legs of the structure will represent the four cardinal direction of a compass and be oriented North, West, East and South.

Which artist, past or present, has had a major impact on you as a sculptor and why?

Artists that inspire my work: Michael Dennis, a Denman Island sculptor, because his wooden sculptures have become part of my imagination. Neil Graham, a Whitehorse artist, because he showed me that art comes from within. Stephan Czernecki, a Vancouver artist and illustrator, because of his relentless imagination. Connie Watts, a Port Alberni mixed media artist, because of her fearless drive to create.

Was there a defining time or moment in your life when you realized sculpting was something you wanted to do for a living?

Creating sculptures was a natural progression from the furniture and

instrument making I had been doing.

The more that I work with wood, the more that I appreciate natural form.

When making sculptures I feel that there is more freedom to produce work with the organic forms that I see in nature.

Do you always utilize the same material(s) as this year’s piece, and why is it your preferred medium?

I have almost exclusively worked in wood. I prefer working with wood because I’m fascinated by it. It is a beautiful material whose complexity is not just on the surface but throughout, it is a sustainable material that comes from nature and eventually goes back to nature, and it is a living medium that changes with age and environment.

What is the importance of the arts in today’s society?

The importance of the arts in today’s society is to help people see themselves, life and the universe in a different way. It inspires people to live with awe, wonder and imagination.

As a parent, you have a big role to play in keeping your child’s teeth clean and healthy.

Prevention starts at home, with good eating habits and daily cleaning of the teeth. Teaching your child good oral hygiene habits early can lead to a lifelong healthy smile.

Newborns usually have no visible teeth at birth but most start developing baby teeth between 4-9 months of age. As their teeth erupt, some babies may become fussy and irritable, lose their appetite or drool more than usual. Your child may also have sore or tender gums when teeth begin to erupt. To help ease this discomfort, try gently rubbing their gums with a clean finger, or rub their gums with the back of a small, cool spoon. It can be very soothing.

You should start cleaning your child’s mouth even before your child has teeth. It gets both you and your child into the habit of keeping the mouth clean. The goal is to wipe the gums with a damp face cloth placed over your clean finger.

Children usually have their full set of 20 primary teeth in place by age 2-3. They do eventually fall out but until they do, baby teeth play an important role in helping your child bite and chew food, speak clearly, and also help the adult teeth come in straight.

Babies are born with no cavity causing bacteria in their mouths.

The primary culprit is Streptococcus mutans; a bacteria that can pass from person to person through the transfer of saliva. Only parents (or caregivers) with active tooth decay can spread Streptococcus mutans through the transfer of saliva. This often occurs when sharing utensils, straws, or by cleaning a pacifier with your mouth

before giving it to your baby.

Luckily, this is only one piece of the ‘decay’ puzzle. Tooth decay is usually caused by a combination of factors, including the transfer of infectious saliva, genetics, oral hygiene habits, and feeding practices. Baby teeth are particularly vulnerable to decay.

Once your baby’s first tooth appears you should start brushing with a soft baby toothbrush and water.

Young children are not capable of cleaning their own teeth well, therefore it becomes a parent’s job to do it for them when they are very young and do it with them, as they get older.

Brush teeth thoroughly twice per day (morning and night).

Once your child has two teeth touching; you can introduce flossing to your daily routine.

By the age of two you can add a smear of fluoride toothpaste when brushing. Always supervise children’s brushing to ensure

that they are not using too much toothpaste or swallowing any. Let your child watch you brushing your teeth as often as possible.

There’s nothing better than a parent’s good example to teach them the way to healthy dental practices.

It is generally recommended that a child be seen by a dental professional by the age of 1 or within 6 months after his or her first tooth comes in. Don’t wait until there’s an emergency.

Although, the first visit is mainly for the dental professional to examine your child’s mouth and to check growth and development; it’s also about your child becoming comfortable in the dental office.

Let’s make it fun!

Starting infants off with good oral care can help protect their teeth for decades to come.

If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s teeth or mouth health, please contact your dental professional.
