One of the final pieces in the Castlegar SculptureWalk puzzle is put in place Wednesday in front of Castlewood Village on Columbia Avenue. Nicholas Chernoff of Trowelex Rentals runs the picker while artist Jacob Tolmie and fabricator Peter Reimer, both of Nelson secure the work which is titled, “Don’t Look, Listen.” That leaves one to go, a work to be installed a couple of blocks north, probably next week.

Bear Aware will not let up until we get the message STAFF Castlegar News
Bear Aware has been conducting curbside garbage inspections throughout the last month in Castlegar to assess how many residents are leaving garbage out on the curb the evening before pick-up. “We’ve been surprised at what we’ve found, with considerable numbers leaving garbage out far too early,” said Jenny
Wallace, Castlegar Bear Aware Community coordinator. “When people leave garbage out overnight, bears will no doubt get into it, creating a mess, a public safety issue and a food conditioned, and therefore, dangerous bear.” Wallace urges residents to think of how important it is to keep garbage secure and inaccessible to bears (for the safety of people and the bears too). “Garbage is the

number one bear attractant in Castlegar,” she said. “Garbage that is left accessible to bears is not only unsightly, it is ulti-
mately dangerous to both bears and people. Bears that become used to this unnatural food source can become a serious
public safetly concern and, as a result, are often destroyed.” During their curbside garbage inspections, Wallace says they’ve found at least a dozen homes in each collection area which they’ve recorded as having garbage on the curb the evening before collection, with three times as many houses recorded in the downtown area. “This practice puts neighbours at risk by attracting bears
into residential areas and often results in a mess of garbage strewn throughout the neighbourhood by the morning,” said Wallace. “It is also directly responsible for creating “problem” bears that typically end up dead.” Castlegar can increase the cleanliness of the community, the safety of its citizens and reduce the number of bears destroyed by managing bear attractants.

Dollies’ daddy Walter Fields isn’t sure just how many dolls are in his Castlegar home, although he does know there are well over 700. The collection began by way of an interest shown by Walter’s 58year old daughter Cathy, who has since passed away. Walter was happy to show the dolls to the Castlegar News, he was just as happy he wasn’t asked to name them all. Jim Sinclair photo

Castlegar News Reporter
Continued from P. A1
Some tips to remember: • keep all garbage securely inside garages or sheds until the morning of collection day • consider investing in a bear proof garbage bin if you cannot keep garbage indoors • wash out garbage and recycling bins regularly to reduce smells that may attract bears Curbside garbage inspections will continue into the summer, with Bear Aware volunteers placing bright yellow “Bear Attractant” stickers on bins left on the curb in the evening to remind residents to keep garbage inaccessible to bears. Bear Aware will also visit neighbourhoods with high numbers of human-bear conflicts to provide information about managing attractants and solutions to keeping bears out of town.

STAFF Castlegar News
It seemed like only a few days ago we had nothing but torrential rainfall in the Castlegar area. However, with hot weather taking over, the Southeast Fire Centre has issued a fire ban for the area. Effective at noon on Friday, July 13, 2012, all open fires are prohibited within the Southeast Fire Centre to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety. The prohibition will remain in place until Sept. 19, or until the public is otherwise notified. Specifically, this prohibits: · The burning of any waste, slash or other material. · The burning of stubble or grass. · The use of fireworks or burning barrels of any size or de-
scription. This prohibition does not include campfires, gas or propane cooking stoves or briquettes. This prohibition also does not apply to a resource management open fire, including those conducted for agricultural purposes by the Creston Valley Grain Growers Association. Campfires must not be larger than 0.5 metres by 0.5 metres in size. People lighting a campfire must maintain a fireguard by removing flammable debris from around the campfire area and must have a hand tool or at least eight litres of water available nearby to properly extinguish the fire. Campfires should not be lit or kept burning during windy conditions. Never leave a fire unattended. Make sure the fire is completely extinguished
and the embers are cold before leaving the area. This prohibition covers all BC Parks, Crown and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by a fire department. Please check with civic authorities for any prohibitions before lighting a fire. Anyone found in contravention of an open fire prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345 or, if convicted in court, be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. Anyone who causes a wildfire through arson or recklessness can be fined up to $1 million or spend three years in prison and be held accountable for associated firefighting costs. Crews from the

Auf wiedersehen from Fraulein Milena
Milena Gramann is a young lady who arrived in Castlegar from Hannover, Germany about 11 months ago. Gramann has lived with several host families in Castlegar and the area and attended Stanley Humphries Secondary School as a grade 11 student. Gramann has been very active in the area, participating in the Robson Choir, playing on the SHSS senior basketball team, swimming with the Castlegar Aquanauts, and attending early morning meetings with the Sunrise 2000 club, among other things. The following is an excerpt of a speech she gave at her final Rotary meeting in Castlegar on July 12.
Good Morning Rotary members of the Castlegar Sunrise Club, Good Morning guests! Thank you for coming to the meeting today and thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to speak here today. It has been a wonderful year with you! Exactly 318 days ago I arrived in
To help out children with cleft lip/palates, Milena has been making and selling origami stars. All money raised will go to Rotaplast, a nonprofit humanitarian organization which provides free reconstructive operations and treatment for children.” The stars are a minimum $5 donation, available until July 22.

Castlegar. Sitting in the small plane from Vancouver was a little bit scary for me especially when we came closer to Castlegar. Looking out of the window, I saw its gorgeous scenery but there was one problem: the river. My little plane was so low when it flew over the river and I could not see an airport. I was afraid we would land in the river. Luckily, we didn´t. I was quite happy about that even
though it was sunny weather. When I finally entered the entrance hall of the airport I was cordially received from Kay, David, and some other people. In spite of my jetlag, I was not tired at all. It was so exciting to see all the new faces. My journey had just begun. After a couple of days, school began for me and that was one of the major differences this year. It
took me a little bit of time to adjust. Instead of fourteen I had only four subjects per semester. My choices were Metal Work, English 12, Communication, and P.E. I was very excited for the first day. First of all, I had to take a school bus which was new for me. At home, I live ten minutes away from school and school buses like that do not exist. These yellow old- fashioned school buses reminded me of old movies. The first days in school were interesting. Soon I realized that it would be a relaxing semester for me. I understood most of what my teachers taught and did not have problems orienting in school. My classes were twice as long as I was used to. That was hard at the beginning but I got over it quickly. The next difference was lunch. I had never had a lunch break before; we have two fifteen minute breaks after two lessons at home. Lunch was nice to relax and to discover other places in
school. After a while, I discovered the library which was also something new for me. Sitting in the library at lunch was fantastic. I loved the atmosphere there and enjoyed skipping through magazines while eating my lunch. From there on, I spent most of my lunch hours in the library. When I return home, I have to attend school for two more years. I am planning to join the leadership group and tell other students about volunteering. I want to organize events like my school here did to support other children and help them to a better life. Projects like Christmas Child or my Origami Project are just ideas. When I finish school, I am going to go to university to become an orthodontist. I want to make people, especially children, smile. Nobody should be afraid to smile because of his or her teeth. I might even become a professor at a university to teach young people about orthodontics.

According to reports, several small brush fires in the Genelle area have been contained. The fires were apparently caused by sparks from trains passing through. “From what we’ve heard, the fires were started by brakes on one of the trains coming back from Trail,” said councillor Kevin Chernoff. “They had all three fire departments respond: Trail, Castlegar, and Genelle. They were all out after a couple of hours after they were reported.” The brush fires occurred on a hot July 5.

The festival features plenty of great live music and other entertainment, vendors, and fun stuff for the kids. Headlining the show is a performance by Ache Brasil, a group of South American dancers and singers. As much fun as the performances are, the impressive array of vendors is sure to be a hit as well.

Off the Line - Karen Haviland
Goodbye to a dear friend I sit here, staring at this computer struggling to find the right lead, the right words to tell you about my friend. It’s important to me that my friend is understood. So few understood her, I think, and yet everyone loved her and respected her. That friend, Noella Gibb, came from a different era than I, an era when women were ladies and the line between right and wrong was clearly defined. She was a dichotomy and a wonderful contradiction. I first met Noella about eight years ago. She was a longtime friend of my father-in-law and she scared me at first. She wasn’t certain about me and she made it known. She loved my father-in-law and thus my husband, and she took it upon herself to determine if I was good enough to marry into the family. When I first met her I was in the red-hair-look-at-me-stage. She, being a barber was offended by the colour, I believe, and also by the fact that my unruly hair refused to comply with my attempts at taming it. I laugh now when I remember one conversation we had shortly after meeting. We were all going to meet at the Thirsty Duck for supper. Knowing that Noella, the queen of decorum and dressing well was going to be there, I Craig Lindsay Reporter

took extra efforts in my grooming. It was all for naught. After we settled into our chairs, Noella fixed her gaze on me and said, “Did you brush your hair today?” At first I hoped she was teasing, but I knew better. She was serious. Dead serious. I gulped and stammered out that I had just brushed my hair prior to arriving. She stared at me for several seconds and then I noticed a gleam in her eyes and a quivering of her lips. Surely she wasn’t teasing me? But she was, and thus began a warm friendship between two women who were over 40 years in age difference and who came from different worlds and centuries. First and foremost, Noella was always a lady, carefully and properly groomed right down to the red lipstick she always wore. There I was, a camping type girl who is more comfortable in shorts and T-shirts than a dress. I know I frustrated her at times and that she would have liked to have made me over and finish that off with a swipe of her lipstick, but slowly and surely our friendship grew and we found common ground and respect for each other no matter the differences. Noella was achingly outspoken and it was both appreciated and abhorred at the same time. She let you know exChris Hopkyns Publisher

actly what she was thinking. One time, without going into specifics, she tore a strip off of me for no good reason. I left that day feeling deeply hurt. After mulling over it for a day or so I returned to her home and told her that her words had hurt me, that I was her friend, not her maid, and that I didn’t come to visit to have someone speak to me that way. She arched her eyebrows and oh so quietly and humbly said, “I’m sorry. I had no idea I hurt you.” And I realized she really didn’t grasp the power that her words held. After that, she still talked to me like I was her maid, but she always said please, or thank you. I laugh even now at that. Right to the end of her 97 years, Noella did things her way. She never wavered and she was always true to herself. She was a fighter, a true lady and an astute businesswoman in the days when women weren’t generally in business. Most importantly, she was my friend. Noella passed away May 29, 2012, in her own home and on her own terms. She will be sorely missed. Thank you for your friendship Noella. Sandy Leonard Production

Online fan I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate and enjoy having the paper to read online. I am working with the Red Cross in Tbilisi, Georgia and check out the e-edition regularly. This is the first time I have been able to keep up with what is going on at home while I am away. This service is great. It has its bad side, in that I get a bit homesick after reading the paper.

Bears need not be shot We are sick at heart to hear another two bears were shot recently in Castlegar. Each female bear left a cub. These orphan
cubs are now left to wander with no mother to teach them what to eat and where to find it. They could starve and eventually be shot. Is it really necessary to eliminate our bears? Not to mention the danger of stray bullets, bears need not have such a sad, senseless and violent end. If the mother bears were just passing through, why is that an issue? If they have stopped to eat food (garbage) left outside, then we are to blame. We understand if it’s a problem bear (created by us), but these bears apparently were not threatening people. Bears need not be shot. When you phone in a bear sighting, the bear is no longer relocated. It is shot. Soon few bears will be left in our area. Living in the Kootenay’s is enjoyable because we are close to nature; and visiting tourists likewise anticipate seeing our wild animals. We need to understand we are living in wildlife habitat. This is their territory. Let us be responsible and share this land with the wild animals we profess to appreciate. Just being afraid of a bear is no reason to

We are starting to embrace new ideas to do with water conservation, composting, community gardening, sustainable transportation, etc. These ideas are not radical, however, 20 years ago it would be unheard of that the city would be subsidizing the cost of composting bins. In fact when I first moved to this community way back in 2000 I had to drive to Genelle to recycle my plastic containers. Sometimes change is gradual and people consider ideas outside the norm as radical for a long time before they accept them. Recently an alternative idea was presented to city council in regard to establishing a public debate on lifting the ban on urban chickens. After
the presentation the consensus was that a public debate would be necessary. Unfortunately, at the last council meeting instead of agreeing to a motion to have a public debate, there was motion to squash any further discussion on this issue. It appears as though City council is being influenced by only a few members of our community. So we have decided to form our own special interest group. Our goal is to gather the concerned citizens of Castlegar in one group so we can balance the influences on city policy. This group is not only concerned about sustainable urban food production (as is the environmental issue with urban chickens) but we are a community advocacy group for all issues to do with the environmental policy in our city. For now the group only exists on Facebook but in the fall we plan to take steps toward incorporating a society. We can be found on Facebook by searching for “The Castlegar and Area Eco-society.” -Mark Jennings, Castlegar

Some people feel than an alcoholic drink at night helps them sleep. However, alcohol’s effect on sleep has been studied well, and although it can help initiate sleep, it doesn’t result in sleeping through the night. Generally, sleep quality was poorer in women who had a pre-bedtime drink. A new type of hearing aid is now being marketed in Europe and the U.S. called SoundBite, it directs sound through the jawbone and into the inner ear. The devise is custom-made for each patient and is positioned onto the upper left or right molars. Sound is conducted right to the inner ear, bypassing the middle and outer ear. It is not yet available in Canada, however. We are taught as youngsters that sharing is a good thing, and it is. But sharing medications is not so good. What may work for you could be very bad for the person with whom you are sharing.
Speaking of sharing, if you are using an insulin pen to administer your insulin, do not share it with another diabetic. Even though these pens are multiple-use syringes and the needle is changed each time - they are meant for only one person. There is a risk of passing blood pathogens from one person to another. Are you able to look at each of your medication bottles and know what each drug is used for? It is important to know this information. If you don’t, check with our pharmacists. We are here to help.

News/Community Deadline looms for timber decision TOM FLETCHER Black Press
The B.C. legislative committee studying timber supply in the wake of the Interior pine beetle epidemic is holding its final hearings this week, with an Aug. 15 deadline to recommend whether to open up more areas to logging as the forest recovers. At hearings in Vancouver this week, MLAs heard conflicting advice from industry and environmental interests, after a tour of the communities hardest hit by the beetle kill. Their task is to see if there is enough timber available to rebuild the Burns Lake
sawmill destroyed by fire in January, and to decide if affected areas protected for old growth, wildlife or visual values should be considered for harvesting. Long-time B.C. environmentalist Vicky Husband told the committee the “elephant in the room” is mill overcapacity, built to deal with the huge areas with dead trees that are approaching the end. “The result was a perfect storm of events – beetles ravaging one billion mature pine trees and an industry building supermills and logging like crazy,” Husband said. “Everyone knew it couldn’t last, and
we’ve know this for a long time. It seems like we’re coming to the end and suddenly trying to find a BandAid solution.” She warned that opening up protected areas to increase the annual allowable cut would risk B.C.’s international forest certification, and create “false hope” in forestdependent communities that the high level of timber harvest can continue. Committee members questioned whether maintaining pre-epidemic protected areas hit by beetle kill is the best thing for forest health. “If we don’t go in and manage those and put the health of
the forest first … and don’t go into these particular reserves, viewscapes, oldgrowth management areas, we will have more disease,” Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett said. Cowichan Valley MLA Bill Routley was sympathetic to the submission from Burns Lake, where residents pleaded for a solution that would allow their largest employer to rebuild. “It’s six First Nations that are supportive of a plan, a company, a chamber of commerce, the workers’ representatives, on and on,” Routley said.

“That Girl and Earl” make another local appearance SUBMITTED
Diane Strom and Earl Staten have been performing as ‘That girl and Earl’ for six years, with Diane’s husband Dwain doing the managing and the sound. They keep busy all year, but particularly enjoy the summer time because of the opportunity to play at outdoor events, such as Castlegar’s music in the park, where they performed last night. When playing at weddings and functions, the focus is generally playing songs the audience can dance to, but the concert setting allows the opportunity to play a much wider range of music. They cover rock, pop, and country (and maybe an original or two) from the 50’s to

know each other. As the camp progresses, we bring in a variety of speakers from around the area.” The campers come from different parts of British Columbia, Idaho, and Washington. The camp is in its 35th year, including the last ten years at Selkirk College. Chelan Padmoroff, a Castlegar resident and RYLA participant this year, heard about the program from friends and a sister who had been in the program before. “They were really enthusiastic about it,” she said. “So when some Rotarians approached me about the program, I was more than thrilled to be given the opportunity to do it.” Padmoroff, who is in the nursing program at Selkirk College, has really enjoyed the ex-
periences and friendships she’s made at the RYLA conference. “It’s been great,” she’s said. “The first couple of days everyone is kind of shy and awkward. No one really knows anyone yet. But after the second or third day, everyone is unbelievable. We’re like such a close family. I’m so thankful to be given this opportunity.” Padmoroff enjoyed the speakers as well as the group sessions and being a part of the various committees. “We’ve worked on various aspects of being a leader. We’ve worked on: How to be a leader, goal setting, critical thinking, what we want to do in our life,” she said. “We have different committees that organize different things. We have a sports committee, we have a campfire committee, entertainment committee. Each committee puts something on every day.” So if you’re wondering where the future leaders of Castlegar and even the world are coming from - look no further than events like RYLA, right in our own back yard.

Business/Public Safety Well known stylist enters new phase with ancient namesake CRAIG LINDSAY Castlegar News Reporter
They say you can’t go home again, but stylist Sandy Kimbrell is not only home again, but she’s built a salon there. After leaving Aeon Studio in Castlegar after many years, Kimbrell is opening Isis Salon at her home in Robson. “After 26 years at 617 Columbia and 31 years of hairdressing I decided that I needed to have a change and go on my own,” said Kimbrell. She named her new studio after the Egyptian goddess of nature and magic. “My mom and I came up with the name,” she said. “I used to own a shop called Madison Magique Hair Studio. My clients used to say, ‘Sandi, just do
your magic.’ Isis was known to have magical powers and I felt it would be nice to have an Egyptian theme for a salon and that’s what I’ve done.” Isis Salon will have it’s grand opening on July 17 at Kimbrell’s home in Robson. “My mom did some research and found that Egypt celebrates a big festival in honour of Isis’ birthday which happens to be believe it or not - July 17,” she said. “I didn’t know anything about that. I felt that it was meant to be.” Kimbrell is thankful to all her customers over the past 31 years and hopes they will join her at her new location. “I’m welcoming new clients as well,” she said. “I’m inviting them to come ‘experience the magic’, which is my logo on
FireSmart reduces risk SUBMITTED
The B.C. government is encouraging residents of wildlandurban interface areas to help safeguard their homes and communities by becoming more “FireSmart”. Partners in Protection Canada publishes “FireSmart: Protecting Your Community from Wildfire”, which has been widely distributed in Canada and abroad. The manual offers homeowners, businesses and communities a comprehensive guide to mitigating wildfire risks and making properties more fireresistant. Partners in Protection Canada and FireSmart Canada have also launched a new website that includes “how-to” safety articles, landscaping and property maintenance tips, videos and other learning re-
sources. B.C.’sWildfire Management Branch, along with other Canadian provinces and territories, supported the website’s development. Another key component of the program is the FireSmart Communities Recognition Program, which works with communities throughout the province to certify and maintain their FireSmart status. “One of the best ways to prevent large wildfires is to reduce the odds of small fires spreading and getting out of control,” says Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Steve Thomson of FireSmart. “The B.C. government supports the Partners in Protection initiative and encourages communities and individuals to learn more about the FireSmart program.”

new and old look beautiful. “It’s just time for a change,” she said. “I’m looking forward to many more years of hairdressing.” Kimbrell got her start at the age of 17. She became an award

her.” Isis Salon is now open for business. The salon is open from Tuesday until Friday from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. “I will work evenings,” she said. “All my customers know that I work evenings because that’s when you’re busiest. I’m always there to make my customers beautiful.” Kimbrell looks forward to working with clients of all ages and genders. She recommends appointments, but says people can stop by and if she’s not busy, she will accommodate them. “Because I’m home-based it’s probably best to phone for an appointment before you come,” said Kimbrell. “So give me a call.” To book an appointment call Isis Salon at 250-365-3434.

Countdown to BC Summer Games starts CRAIG LINDSAY Castlegar News Reporter
Chris Trentholm of the BC Summer Games Society shows off one of the gold medals at the information session in Castlegar Tuesday. Craig Lindsay photo
With the BC Summer Games just over a week away, several athletes, coaches, managers, and parents, were able to pick up some valuable information at a “Guide to the Games” session held at the Castlegar Community Complex on July 10. “These G2G or Guide to the Games sessions are being held in all eight zones of the province,” said Chris
Trentholm, event manager for the BC Summer Games Society. “For zone 1, which is the Kootenay, we have sessions in Castlegar here tonight for West Kootenay participants and one tomorrow night (Wednesday) in Cranbrook.” At the session, Trentholm provided information and guidelines to help the athletes prepare for the games. “We want to review the materials that help them understand what
they’re getting into with the games,” he said. “We also want to help them better prepare for their games experience.” Trentholm said the society wants the athletes to have the best experience they can at the games. Some of the biggest questions Trentholm is
asked are about transportation. “Things like ‘where is my pick-up point?’ ‘What time am I getting picked up?’” he said. “We get questions about what the food’s like and where they’re going to be staying. We get all kinds of questions.” The BC Summer Games are in Surrey this year and go from July 19-22. “BC Games is a big thing all over the province,” said Trentholm. “It’s grow-
ing in popularity. It’s a big part of the sports system. Castlegar and Trail and Nelson have a rich history of hosting the games. Not just the BC games, but also the senior games as we saw last year. Greater Trail hosted the winter games in 2006. There’s a legacy back to 1996 with the summer games. BC games have always been big in Castlegar and in the region as well. We’re always excited to come back to Castlegar and the area.

BC Games first step for many London-bound athletes
SUBMITTED
When the Olympic and Paralympic Games begin in London, there are a number of Canadian athletes who will remember their first multi-sport experience at a BC Games. Twenty-four athletes on the Canadian Olympic team started their journey to London with a trip to the BC Games including 2008 Olympic gold medallist Carol Huynh (Wrestling), and recent Giro d’Italia winner Ryder Hesjedal (Cycling). As part of the athlete development pathway, the BC Games are a first multi-sport experience for young athletes that lead towards provincial and national teams and ultimately the Olympic or Paralympic Games. The BC Games are part of a strong provincial
sport system that provides an outstanding training environment and support services for high-performance athletes. Forty per cent of the Canadian Olympic team live or train in B.C. Shot-putter Dylan Armstrong of Kamloops is one of Canada’s great medal hopes at the 2012 Olympic Games. He is a shining example of a B.C. athlete who has developed to international success with support through all the stages of the athlete pathway. Involved at a young age with the Kamloops Track and Field Club, he represented the Thompson-Okanagan Zone at the 1995 and 1996 BC Summer Games. Success as part of Team BC at the 2001 Canada Games was next before winning gold for Canada at the 2007 and 2010 Pan American Games. All eyes are on this BC
Games alumnus to better his fourth place finish from the 2008 Olympic Games. Swimmer Brent Hayden of Mission is another medal contender in London. Brent competed at the 1998 BC Summer Games and reflected, “The BC Summer Games was the point in my career when I realized that I had the potential to go further. It was soon after that that I decided to switch from being a summer swimmer to training all year round. It is clear that I wouldn’t have noticed my own potential without the BC Summer Games.” The full Paralympic team will be named later this summer but former BC Games athletes Bo Hedges of Fort St. John (Wheelchair Basketball) and Adam Rahier of Powell River (Swimming) will be part of the team.
Over 2,300 athletes between the ages of 10 and 18 will be at the 2012 BC Summer Games, which kick off just one week prior to the start of the Olympics. It is an inspiring experience that will ignite the dreams of many young athletes to pursue their sport to the highest level. A veteran of the Canadian Women’s Soccer team, Karina LeBlanc from Maple Ridge remembered, “It was an amazing experience because I did dream of one day being at the Olympic Games and it was the closest thing for me to it, so it made me want to be there that much more!” Watch for the next generation of Olympians and Paralympians at the 2012 BC Summer Games, July 19-22.

BC Games “Green Team” Ambassadors.

Greening of the games SUBMITTED
Organized sport events, no matter how big or small, have an environmental impact. With the help of its motivated volunteers, the BC Games Society is striving to reduce its environmental impact and raise awareness. Community driven programs initiated by the BC Winter and BC Summer Games volunteers are contributing to reducing the environmental impact of the Games and are developing leaders by increasing environmental awareness among Games participants, volunteers, and community members. For example, the 2008 BC Winter
Games in Kimberley and Cranbrook established best practices to reduce environmental impact. A volunteer team of “Go Green” Ambassadors was active and visible during the Games implementing the plan and raising awareness. This community-led initiative developed youth leaders and established important benchmarks that future hosts could refer to, to reduce their environmental impact. The 2010 Summer Games in the Township of Langley took the lead to ensure all food waste was composted and recycling bins were available at all sport venues. “The challenge for BC Games host communities is the great variety of available re-
sources to implement changes in areas such as transportation, food services, and venue operations,” said Kelly Mann, President and CEO of the BC Games Society. “But, given that there is a clear desire by participants and host communities to reduce environmental impact, the BC Games Society took the lead to develop information and resources for community volunteers to adapt to guide policy and implement action plans.” Before the 2010 BC Summer Games, Metro Vancouver, the regional government responsible for waste management in the Greater Vancouver area, provided policy Continued on P. 18

...and planning support. What resulted is a set of resources and samples that reflect the unique structure of the BC Games and consider the many different communities involved. The BC Games resource materials compliment other established “green” Games standards such as a no-idling policy for all Games transportation vehicles. No bottled water is supplied to venues at the BC Games and athletes are required to bring a reusable water bottle to fill with tap water throughout their competitions. Greening the Games also comes in places you don’t expect. Until 2009, the BC Games torch was lit 100 days prior to the Opening Ceremony. This torch burned 900,000 cubic feet of natural gas and contributed 12 tonnes of green house gases to the atmosphere. The gas torch is now retired and replaced with an energy efficient LED torch that draws 850 watts of energy - comparable to a household toaster. This torch symbolizes the innovation and initiative that the BC Games will strive to adopt environmentally responsible initiatives moving forward.
“I felt good and healthy and strong... I just felt really good about how I performed,” Lorene MacGregor effort, given that she was the oldest woman entered at 50. “I just really felt good,” she said. “I felt
good and healthy and strong. I didn’t place first, I placed fifth. I just felt really good about how I performed.” MacGregor urges any women or men who are middle-aged or over to get out there and become active for the “health” of it. “I need women of all ages to know how important it is to get out and do the yoga and the zumba classes, but I want to encourage women to get into the weight room as well,” she said. “Building muscle cre-
ates more of a furnace in your body to help with that inevitable fat issue. If you build more muscle you’ll have a leaner body.” There are many benefits to body building, says MacGregor. “I just turned 50 and I feel fabulous,” she said. “I feel healthy; I feel fit. Exercising is one part. Eating is 80 per cent of it. That saying, ‘You are what you eat’ is so important. In the end, it’s the eating that creates the muscle and trains the efficient body to work.”

Swimmers prepare for home meet CRAIG LINDSAY Castlegar News Reporter
After finishing second in a a meet in Colville last weekend, the Castlegar Aquanauts Swim Club is busy getting ready for their home meet which goes this weekend at the Castlegar Community Complex pool. “We’ve got teams from Nelson, Trail, Grand Forks, Colville, Creston, Kimberley and Cranbrook coming,” said Aquanauts head coach Mitchell Bourne who expects tough competition this weekend. The Aquanauts expect to have at least 60 swimmers competing this weekend in a variety of categories such as individual medley (IM), breaststroke, freestyle, backstroke, and butterfly. “The swimmers swim with sameaged athletes in one of ten divisions,” said Bourne. “Each swimmer will choose four events to swim and
can participate in a relay at the end of each day.” To prepare for the home meet, the ‘Nauts are currently engaged in “Survivor Week.” “Our goal is to have the biggest turnout of Aquanauts to race so far this season,” he said. “Despite this being our most intense week of training of the season, we hope to see everyone achieve at least one personal best time.” Bourne says the team is progressing and expects to see some great performances in the pool this weekend. “We’re in the peak of training with volume and intensity amped to the max this week,” he said. “We have had a few new additions to the team recently which makes training sessions busier and higher energy. Everyone seems to be working hard and is motivated to improve. We have been practicing in the pool
with its set-up as it is in a swim meet, with all the lane ropes in, starting blocks in place and backstroke flags in place. We feel that this will give the swimmers additional comfort and confidence this weekend as they have become used to the pool arrangement and will not have any surprises to stray them from their focus.” So if you want to see some great swimming head out to the Castlegar Complex pool Saturday and Sunday for the Aquanauts annual swim meet.

Getting a kick out of soccer
More than 85 youngsters, such as those in the above picture, from ages 5-11 were on hand at the High Power Soccer Camp in Castlegar at Kinnaird Community Church. The camp goes from Monday until Friday and then wraps up with a family barbecue on Sunday. At the camp, kids learn soccer skills through drills, fun stations, and scrimmage games, and then get to go the zone where they learn bible verses, hear music from a live band, and watch film.
