Construction delays celebration until next week ARNE PETRYSHEN Rossland News Editor
This weekend, Rossland was to have a grand celebration to celebrate the completion of the Columbia-Washington downtown project, unfortunately Tuesday’s huge snowfall delayed construction and the possibility of having the celebration Saturday.
The celebration will go on though, one week later, with times and places staying the same. “Although it was a difficult decision to reschedule, we want to ensure a safe and completed downtown for all to enjoy,� Rossland Mayor Greg Granstrom explained. “There are only a few final touches to be added, but we feel it’s prudent to wait
until Nov. 3.� It will all be held next Saturday in downtown Rossland. Renee Clark, executive director of the Rossland Chamber of Commerce., said that the events begin at noon and will go until 4 p.m. Events include music, food, Kidzone activities and shopping. Local businesses will be holding off their sales and pro-
motions until next week as well. The schedule is as follows: A 2 pm meeting spot at Columbia Avenue and St. Paul intersection > 2:20 p.m. - ribboncutting ceremony at Columbia Ave and St. Paul > 2:20–2:30 p.m. – community procession down Columbia Ave – bring your wheels: bikes, strollers, rollerblades >2:30 – history is made - a community photo will
be taken near Harry Lefevre Square >2:40 – head to Washington Street for cake or Harry Lefevre Square for music. Volunteers are still needed, so please contact Clark at the Rossland Chamber of Commerce at 250-362-5666 if you are able to join the fun. For more information on events, please visit the Chamber of Commerce website: http://rossland.com/home.

City will seek public input on bylaws ARNE PETRYSHEN Rossland News Editor
Rossland council discussed the possibility of changing bylaws that concern smoking and dogs in the downtown to coincide with the soon-to-be-complete downtown project. Coun. Kathy Moore said it would be a great opportunity for Rossland to get behind the initiative and exceed the provincial standards for no-smoking bylaws. Moore noted 67 different municipalities that already exceed the province. “It’s not an extreme position to take,� she said.
Coun. Jody Blomme said it is an important topic to discuss, regardless of the outcome. Coun. Jill Spearn approved the discussion. “I’m glad we’re revisiting it, our community has evolved,� Spearn said, but she noted that she would like to see these two issues separated from one another. Coun. Kathy Wallace asked what the process would look like, to which Mayor Greg Granstrom said they should first decide what they were seeking and if we want to seek it, before getting into the technical side. Coun. Tim Thatcher thought it was a good idea to look into the dog bylaw. “Since people do travel with pets, they may not stop if it’s not friendly to (them),� Thatcher said.
Council then made a motion to get some public input. Then it was a matter of deciding what the format would be, whether questionnaires, town hall meetings, or some other form.. Corporate officer Tracey Butler advised that drop letters seem to be the most well received option in the community, which could be supplemented with public sessions. Granstrom said that they would invite residents to come and speak., write letter or show up at public input sessions at the next two council meetings. Then they would hold a town hall meeting if things progress and interest in the changes is shown.
Mayor offers view of Rossland project
GREG GRANSTROM Rossland Mayor
Next Saturday, Nov. 3, we will celebrate the Columbia Washington Project with a huge community event. Beginning at noon and going till 4 p.m. there will be music, food Kidzone activities as well as shopping specials all over town. The entire community is asked to meet between St Paul and the Courthouse along Columbia at 2 p.m. A ribbon cutting ceremony will take place at 2:20 p.m. followed by a community procession along Columbia to Harry Lefevre Square for a Historic Photo of everyone on Columbia Ave. The entire project will not be completely finished by Sat-
urday as some street furnishings etc. will not be placed until spring. We will however have a very good sense of the renewed streetscape and a chance to enjoy downtown once again. The Columbia/Washington Project has been a challenge for all of us. Our business community certainly felt the effects of parking disruptions and sidewalk closures. A simple trip to the Post Office at times became a major journey requiring a pretrip plan. Construction tape and wet concrete put a damper on our jaywalking and j-turning albeit perhaps only temporarily. The project also had many young fans and may result in a few more dump trucks under the tree and perhaps an increase of Excavator Operators into the workforce in years to come. There are not many Communities that could weather such a storm as the 5 months of construction to our main streets. We are a very proud, resilient community and our “new� down-
town will reflect our community spirit. Please come out on Saturday and help celebrate and reconnect with our businesses, we all deserve it. This is the first installment of Rossland Council’s Community Comment. I would like to thank the Rossland News and Publisher Barb Blatchford for providing the opportunity to Councillors to provide information on a monthly basis. There is a great deal of activity at City Hall these days and one of the challenges is to communicate on the business of the City and balance that with the constraints of budgets and available staff time. Newsletters are a great source of information and are also a task that at times must be left off the list. Hopefully this forum will provide an opportunity for Councillors to report on items that are of interest. Mr Victor Kumar has retired as Rossland’s CAO and leaves us on a very positive note offering to assist in some ongoing nego-
tiations. Prior to his retirement Mr. Kumar presented a proposal to Council to combine the CAO and Chief Financial Officer, a position required by law, and include the additional responsibility of Deputy CAO to the existing Corporate Officer. The goal was to further increase efficiencies at City Hall. Council was in favour of the proposal and has hired Ms. Cecile Arnott as the new CAO/CFO.Ms. Arnott brings a wealth of experience to this challenging role both from the private and public sector. This re organization will result in one less senior management position. The budget cycle is once again about to begin. Please stay tuned for public input sessions. It is important that we all participate in the process. Thanks again to the Rossland News, I hope to see everyone on Columbia Ave. Saturday snow or shine! Greg Granstrom

Pet Off Th TThe he W Week e Lady came into the shelter after being found at the Pend O’reille. After just over a week, no one has claimed her, so we would now love to find this poor girl a caring home. She came in quite skinny and needss to gain some weight still. Lady has quite a beautiful appearance. e. She is tall and lean and could be a mix of Lab and an Irish Wolf hound. Lady does have some basic obedience, but will need some refreshers. Lady absolutely loves people and wiggles from head to tail when you first meet her. Since she was left to defend for herself, she will need to work on taking food gently and slower. Lady has shown a little to much interest in cats but is good with most dogs. Lady just wants a second chance at life and someone to call her own. Please come down to the Trail, SPCA today to see this beautiful girl.

COLUMBIA TASK FORCE Contriibuted
Due to the beautiful early snowfall in Rossland, the downtown grand re-opening party will unfortunately have to be rescheduled from Oct. 27 to Nov. 3. By the end of this week, we should have nearly complete sidewalks: concrete, pavers, and softscaping should be mostly complete. Harry Lefevre has progressed quite a bit in the past week and work will continue until completion, expected by the end of this week or early next week. Crews will be working on the cenotaph after the sidewalks are complete. Washington St is nearly finished and will be open intermittently. The beautiful new banners for the light posts are in and will soon be hung. The banners feature local artists’ work. Bus stops, the items we have kept saying were going up last, will likely be going up next week! Feel free to visit Mayor Granstrom Mondays from 10:30-11:30 a.m. at City Hall. To see graphics portraying the end-goal of this construction project, please take a look at the video display in the window of Rossland Hardware, or watch them on the City of Rossland website at http://www.rossland.ca/columbiawashington-construction-updates.

Red Mountain Racers Ski Swap is happening Saturday in Trail RED MOUNTAIN RACERS Submitted
Nothing like a dusting of snow, and a chilly nose to get your heart racing for the ski season. And the Red Mountain Racers are ready to bring you the annual ski swap. Red Mountain Racers will be holding the annual Ski Swap this weekend, Saturday 27 October 2012 at Willi Krause Field House in Trail.

Red Mountain Racers executive members will also be on hand to take Nancy Greene Ski League registrations for the upcoming year. Nancy Greene Ski League is open to kids from 5 to 12 years old who are able to ride Red Chair. The Nancy Greene Ski League is the “FUNdamental” stage of ski racing.

Tourism vital to B.C. STAFF WRITER Rossland News
Rossland Reads kicked off Sunday and will continue tonight at Cafe Books in Rossland. The four defenders will debate the intricacies of their books and one will be voted out, in the quest to find which book all of Rossland should read. Arne Petryshen photo
Rossland Reads resumes tonight STAFF WRITER Rossland News
The first week of Rossland Reads kicked off Sunday with four books and their defenders going head to head for who’s book is the one that should be required reading for Rosslanders. Sunday was the first of three meetings at Cafe Books between the Rossland Reads debaters. The four books and their defenders are: Treading Water by author Anne DeGrace, defended by Patricia Groulx; The Golden Spruce by John Valliant, defended by Stew Spooner; When it Rains by Laura Cuthbert, defended by Tracey Billet;
and The Beggar’s Garden by Michael Christie, defended by Ida Koric. The next event takes place tonight at 7 p.m. On Sunday, defenders were asked why they chose their books and what makes them the most interesting. All that will continue tonight in the second round. All of the books are available at the Rossland Public Library to borrow or Café Books to buy. To check out the reader’s bios and more on their book choices, visit rosslandreads.wordpress.coms. Rossland Reads 2012 is a volunteer-run event, sponsored by the Rossland Public Library.
For some, a dream job would be a vacation planner, for themselves! Vacationing in B.C. can take so many forms that it would indeed be a full-time job. The tourism and hospitality industry is an extremely diverse industry with over 400 different occupations – including occupations that lead to longer-term careers, as well as those that fit well for those seeking part-time work, like students or older workers who are not yet ready to retire. In Rossland there is a wealth of tourism opportunities, from skiing and snowshoeing in the winter, to mountain biking and golfing in the summer. British Columbia’s tourism industry will be a leader in provincial job growth as businesses look to fill 101,000 new job openings by 2020, according to a study of labour demand and supply by go2, the BC tourism industry’s human resource association. The Tourism Labour Market Strategy, released in the spring of 2012 by go2, sets out the plan to recruit, retain and train
the workers needed to keep pace with the growth projected for the industry. Nearly half of the 101,000 openings will be new jobs created by the tourism industry across the province, adding 44,220 more jobs to the provincial workforce by 2020. The other approximately 57,000 openings are due to replacements (i.e. retirements). “The labour strategy co-ordinated by go2 is a key pillar of industry growth in the province. Without it, we simply wouldn’t have the skilled workers in place to deliver the visitor experience throughout BC,” says Lana Denoni, Chair of TIABC, the Tourism Industry Association of British Columbia. British Columbia’s location, bordered by the Rocky Mountains on the east and the Pacific Ocean on the west, makes it unique within Canada. Its mountain and coastal scenery, opportunities for summer sailing, winter skiing, and other activities such as fishing or sightseeing in coastal or inland waters or experiencing our vibrant cities all make us a world-class destination. Tourism helps to diversify our economy and also brings new community services to permanent residents.

Have a safe and fun Halloween
Despite the weather looking more like Christmas outside, Halloween is just around the corner. Halloween is an exciting time for kids, with the atmosphere of ghost and ghouls and the possibility of filling bags with candy and treats. But it is important to be safe. If parents follow a few tips from local RCMP, and pass them on to their children, it should make a safer Halloween for all. They recommend that kids should be accompanied by an adult and wear clothing that can easily be seen at night, such as retro-reflective materials. Kids should stick to the areas they know best and not wander into unknown neighborhoods while trick-or-treating. Parents should inspect all candy to make sure that no one has tampered with it. If it does look suspicious, contact police. Be on the watch for stray animals. Children should wear masks that do not interfere with vision. Children should watch for moving vehicles when crossing streets. Costumes should be short enough that the child will not trip. Trick or treaters should dress appropriately for the weather and carry a flashlight. For extra safety, organize a Halloween party for children in your neighborhood. If these simple steps are followed it should mean a safe and fun Halloween for all.
We want to hear from you.

Warren’s story was featured on the television show, “I Shouldn’t Be Alive” and he was also interviewed on the Oprah show. Warren’s accident occurred when he was climbing to the summit of a peak when he became trapped beneath a one-ton boulder in a freak rock fall. His companion, Geert van Keulen, a Dutch traveler he’d met the day before was his only hope for survival. As Warren lay crushed, Geert raced down the mountain to get help. Warren’s “test of will” lasted two days before a helicopter arrived, and he was rescued. Warren will be speaking on Nov. 27 from 7-8:30 p.m. at Rossland Secondary School in the Auditorium. His lecture, “The Challenge of Change” will be an inspiring and eye-opening information session, designed to help motivate and encourage people to achieve their best despite obstacles or setbacks. Tickets are available for $15 at the recreation department at City Hall. For more information about Warren and his incredible story, log on to his website at; www.warrenmacdonald.com.

Opinion
Letter: Radio Co-op here for interested DJs Dear Editor, Many readers may not know about the local radio co-op here in Rossland. Rossland Radio Cooperative has been around for less than a decade. It is volunteer-run and some volunteers have their own shows (two have been doing it since the days at the first studio many moons ago). All the finances are fundraisers and memberships. On air, Rossland Radio plays your favourite mainstream bands’ (like Van Halen) singles that you won’t hear on mainstream radio and their B-sides, other songs done by one hit wonders that you won’t hear on mainstream radio, Indie bands and the odd “Weird Al” Yankovic gem. The programs on Rossland Radio show who we are and I have a show on said station that combines Japanese music with classic rock and 1980s music called Seanatonin. Some of the fundraisers that Rossland Radio does over the year are pretty fun to do, like Trivia Night done by Phillus Dillus, Radio Bingo (which you play bingo over the radio) with myself and as of this past March “Mocktoberfest”. This past summer, the twotime WKWRDA Golden Boot winning Gnarlie’s An-
gels hosted a bout against a US team for a fundraiser for Rossland Radio. The biggest fundraiser that Rossland Radio had done to my knowledge was the Rockin’ New Year’s Eve event that Rossland Radio went from internet radio to the FM dial. On occasion, Rossland Radio has an open house and a membership drive which is always is fun. For a year’s membership for Rossland Radio is $20. Some of the perks of being a member are having your own show, a percentage off RRC events/merchandise, ability to share your fundraising ideas, making new friends and creating great memories. If you would like to see what the co-op has been doing, drop by an open station meeting. They are every Monday at 1807 Columbia Ave in the old Rotary building (near the Miners’ Hall) starting at 7 p.m. If you like what you are hearing or want to try a hand at a radio show, join up. You can listen to Rossland Radio live online on its website RosslandRadio.com or between 3 p.m. and midnight daily on 101.1 FM CHLI (Your Voice in the Wilderness/Your Eye in The Sky).

He had committed grand larceny ... and given a sentence of a year in jail. Kelly broke jail in Republic three months since. He shot one man (and) was shot through the thigh while trying to perforate another man. ...The wound, which was a serious one, he attended to himself by poulticing it with leaves and applying tobacco to it, and strange to say, with this rude surgery it healed. ...He escaped to the mountains and has been a wandering fugitive from justice ever since. ...Captured in Trail, he was taken to Colville for trial.

Halloween history comes alive MONIKA SMUTNY Rossland News
In just a few days the streets of Rossland will be the scene of an outdoor masquerade of children dressed up as witches, cowgirls and skeletons, among other creative and creepy costumes. The young and the old carve out their pumpkins and prepare treats to be given out on this dark eve of eves. Some even decorate their homes and yards with elaborate displays, cauldrons and ghosts swing from the trees,
greeting visitors from the neighborhoods as they walk by. Adults may get in touch with their own inner child, dawn a costume, witch cackle and dance the night away at the local pub’s Halloween bash. Stores are filled with items like ghoulish masks, makeup and props to add to any characters surreal realism. What mimics “All Hallows Eve” here in the mountains is only a dim reminiscence of what it has been a long time ago….. Halloween is a centuries old tradition that has its origins in both the druidic and the more modern Christian religions. The bottom line through all the permutations. though, is a day that spirits might roam or return, a day to respect the dead and keep the bad spirits at bay, and a time to move forward as well. It is a time to venerate our dead and our ancestors, to “hallow” or treat as sacred, including the harvest or earth. The Halloween traditions we celebrate here in Canada have deep roots that stem from other countries and far off lands. Some are fairly new, others very ancient. I have had the amazing experience of being in two other countries the Czech Rebublic and Ecuador to be a part of their way of celebrating this time of year. I thought it might be fitting to share some of the roots and history of Halloween. In doing more research on the internet about Halloween I discovered that the oldest country that it derives from is Ireland. Halloween originated among the Celts as a pagan harvest festival. Celts used to live not only in England and Ireland, as many think, but in most of Europe (around 500 BC). Celts, according to many evidence, lived in a region that is now the Czech Republic as well. The Celts associated winter with human death. They believed that on Oct. 31, the last day of the bright half of the year, the boundary separating the dead from the living became blurred. The next day is the beginning of winter. This day is therefore, based on Celtic mythology, a day when the spiritual world can make contact with the physical world. Canadians and Americans adopted the Celtic belief that malicious spirits might cross boundaries that night and threaten the community. That may indicate as to why they dress up into scary costumes and spook other people. Ireland Ireland is believed to be the birthplace of Halloween, and they celebrate it every year. In the Irish countryside, people often will set up a huge bonfire, while children dress in costumes and go trick or treating. It is a practice of celebration for their Celtic heritage. Irish people bob for apples, as well as “snap apples” where people try to bite out of an apple tied to a string and suspended in the air. The Irish also eat the traditional “barnbrack,” a form of fruitcake. There is an old legend about Stingy Jack. Jack was so mean that he couldn’t get into heaven and the devil didn’t want him either, so he had to walk the earth for eternity with nothing but a lantern made from a turnip with a coal inside it. He became known as Jacko-lantern and the tradition of putting lanterns of turnip, beets or pumpkin in windows and doors began. This was to scare away Jack and all spirits who walk the earth. Pumpkins didn’t really become big until a big wave of Irish settlers moved to America where the pumpkin was ubiquitous. Czech Republic My home roots, here there was no such thing as Halloween as we know it today. Since then the North American influence has touched and changed the neighborhoods. Magical, mystical and ghostly visits to castles from the 1200s and witnessing the age old tradition of Nov. 1. It actually happens after our Halloween and can go on for a week in length. Aptly named “Dusicky” which means spirits, or otherwise called a “Commemoration of All the Departed”. It is a time to journey to the graves of those deceased relatives, clean their tombs, replenish fresh flowers, and say a prayer. Afterwards a candle is lit to glow throughout the evening. The community gathers from far and wide at this time of year and I was in awe of the care and love that is put into these old and beautiful sites. These are not times to bring out the Ouija board and freak your friends out, but to remember the dead, your loved ones that have passed over the veil. .

Bessie and the Back Eddies playing Holloween dance
STAFF WRITER Rossland News
Don’t miss this Friday’s Holloween Dance at the Miners’ Hall. The Kootenay Music Award winning band Bessie and The Back Eddies will take the stage and provide a musical
backing for the Halloween masquerade party. The seven piece roots and blues band will play old-school R&B with the elegant and powerful vocal stylings of Bessie Wapp, a dynamic three piece horn section and an all acoustic rhythm section. Bessie and The Back Eddies deliv-
er a performance that goes from the swing of the big band sound and the grooviness of soulful R’n B to the sass of burlesque classics and the raunch of down home blues, with a repertoire that dips into the songbooks of Ruth Brown, Etta James, Bessie Smith, Dinah Washington, and Nina Simone.
Bessie and the Back Eddies received a Kootenay Music Award for best Blues and Roots music and their eclectic arrangements showcase all aspects of the band making every performance unique and entertaining. There will be a lively dance floor and prizes for best costume at this
Halloween bash hosted by the Rossland Council for Arts and Culture (RCAC). Tickets are available in advance at Out of The Cellar, Columbia Avenue Rossland. Membership cards will be given out at the performance. For more information please visit: www.rosslandcac.com
