A fire at Whispering Pines Mobile Home Park in Genelle destroyed one home on Tuesday, Oct. 15. Kootenay Boundary Regional Fire Rescue Captain Jason Milne said the first truck was dispatched to the scene, at 500 16th Avenue, at 1:52 p.m. Other crews

arrived to battle the fire shortly after. Two residents of the park, Jamie La Berg, 44, and Shaun Colbon, 27, said they helped evacuate two people, who they described as an older man and woman, who were inside the trailer at the time of the blaze. “I heard a boom over here and came running,” said La Berg, who was

working in his back yard at the time. “It was all on fire and they wouldn’t get out, so I went over and grabbed the guy, brought him out of the way and my brotherin-law, Shaun, moved the guy further out of the way. He [the man] was cut up pretty bad.” Colbon said they also helped to move vehicles away from

the burning trailer. “We asked them if anyone else was in there and they said no,” said Colbon, who said he also had to physically move the woman — who appeared to be in shock and unwilling to leave the home. “So, we got them out of there and called the fire department.” The two men, being hailed by some in the crowd as heroes,

said the man who was in the trailer had some injuries to at least one arm and the woman appeared to be uninjured. A couple of small booms were heard as crews fought the fire, prompting some onlookers to move away to a safer distance. Some debris was seen landing approximately 20 metres from the home as the fire burned.

Locked out IBEW worker upset over FortisBC Facebook flap marvin beatty Castlegar News Reporter

The ongoing FortisBC and IBEW local 213 labour dispute has spilled over into social media. Scott Ross, a locked out IBEW worker and administrator for the Facebook Page “Support IBEW”, wrote the following in an email to the Castlegar News on Oct. 10: “This morning Mark Warren, FortisBC’s Director of Customer Service, a man who oversees all communication for the large public utility commented on Support IBEW’s Face-

book page. When called out on who he was and his comment, he deleted it. It just seems wrong that FortisBC is paying people to go to their locked out union’s Facebook page and give company spin without identifying themselves and what they are doing, and then on top of it, hiding it when caught.” Ross provided a link to a Facebook page showing a screen capture of the deleted comment. It reads: “True, but misleading. In 2006, the CEO was responsible for the electric company. Today, the CEO salary

is shared with the gas company. I don’t have 2006 info, but since 2010 executive cost has DECLINED at the electric company because of cost sharing. Electric rates are up primarily because of significant investment in the electric grid.” Ross said that the screen capture was taken because there have been other incidences of “FortisBC friendly messages” appearing and then being deleted. Reached for comment on Sunday, Oct. 13, Joyce Wagenaar, Director of Communications for

FortisBC, confirmed that Warren is the Director of Customer Service for FortisBC electrical customers and was responsible for the Facebook post and subsequent deletion. She also clarified that Warren is the Director of Customer Service and is responsible for advanced meters, demand-side management and electricity customer service. “Mr. Warren, outside of the workday, had received an email from a friend that had a Facebook comment and Mr. Warren looked at that comment and he thought

that he was in communication with simply his friend,” said Wagenaar. “He hadn’t realized that he had actually sent a response which then, unintentionally from his perspective, was posted to the broader site.” Wagenaar said when Warren became aware of what happened, he deleted his comment and she reiterated that he was not on company time while doing so. “Given where we are with the labour dispute, he informed company management of these actions,” she said. “He

was concerned; it’s a sensitive time with the company and he thought he was just

providing a perspective to a friend. It was inadvertently posted to this page.”

News Timber harvester meets with citizens - part 2 marvin beatty Castlegar News Reporter

Part 2 of “Timber harvester meets with citizens” — from Oct. 10 “The truth of the matter is that all of the people that live there have essentially lost their private little honey-hole back there,” said Hodgkinson, woodlands manager for Kalesnikoff Lumber. “We have logged though the Voykin property before.” The person Hodgkinson was referring to is John Voykin, a member of the Pass Creek delegation who was at the Goose Creek site on Tuesday, Oct. 8. A statement on a website for the group states: “We are a group of concerned citizens from Pass Creek, Robson and Raspberry who want to ensure our watersheds, wildlife, habitats and scenic views are protected from the negative effects of road building and logging.” Voykin said he has ongoing issues involving granting ac-

Voykin said he approached Kalesnikoff and said that if they did the logging and later removed the bridge that crosses the creek he draws water from, he would allow tree planters and others to access the logged site. He said he has tried to erect a gate to stop outdoor enthusiasts such as hikers, hunters and those on motorized vehicles from accessing the area but it was recently torn out. “It wasn’t anything big,” said Voykin. “It was just a metal post with a cable going across the road and a private property/ no trespassing sign. It had been up there since they connected the road. Some [quad riders] had said that if I put up the sign, everyone would respect it, and it had been respected until all of the [logging] equipment showed up last Friday and mysteriously now it’s gone.” He said he plans to put up a heavier fence in the near future. He also said Kalesnikoff hasn’t approached him over concerns he has about his water

line. “My water line also runs through where they are going to be cutting, but nobody has even come to me to ask me where the line is — nothing,” said Voykin. “They’ve sent letters to everybody else down the valley. They’re working right now, as we speak, and nobody’s even come and asked me, ‘Where’s your line so we can be careful around it?’” Voykin said he has reached out to Kalesnikoff but it’s like “nobody cares.” A statement on the Kalesnikoff website from President and CEO, Ken Kalesnikoff, reads in part: “The company is committed to sustaining and enhancing the environmental, economic, and social benefits that our forest resources provide to our communities,” something that Hodkinson said the company strives to do. In one area where a number of trees had blown down into a draw containing running water, Hodkinson acknowledged... Continued on Pg. A5

News Pass Creek logging fuels concerns Continued from Pg. A3

... that it was something that would be carefully cleaned up. “We felt that a log loader would be better here,” he said. “Traditionally, guys would use a line-skidder but we felt that with a line skidder, they’d end up cutting the blowdown and then they’d drag the tree and do more disturbance. What we’re feeling is that with the log loader we’ll be able to sit on the side of these riparian areas, reach in, cut the tree at the stump, pick it right up and move it out to where a grapple skidder can get it. Then, we’ll tip the stumps back into their holes. Then, we’ll come in the following year and plant it, as well.” Jennifer Yeow was also at the Goose Creek site the same day. She said she is not a member of the Wolverton Creek water system users touring the site but was asked to set up and implement Kalesnikoff ’s water monitoring program. Yeow said they did notice a higher than normal count for chloroform bacteria last year than average and she has been measuring for about

10 years. “In conjunction with the water users, we collect samples on a regular basis and I go up and measure the flow. I actually have a laboratory where I do the testing of the water samples,” she said. “Frankly it looks a lot better than it did when we came up last year.”

“I can understand where they’re coming from. They used to have their own private little quad trails...” Tyler Hodgkinson, woodlands manager Last year the road was acting as a channel funnelling water and sediment directly into the creek, she said. A silk curtain was effective for a short time in mitigating the effects, but filled in very quickly. Now that the road has been deactivated and logs have been placed to divert runoff to the side, Yeow said things have become “a little bit better.” Hodkinson said there are laws for the viewscape in question in Pass Creek and that it’s labelled

as partial retention, meaning only seven to 14 per cent can be altered. He acknowledged the difficulty in keeping the public out of the area once the logging road was built but said an application to have a gate installed was denied because it didn’t meet the requirements for public safety. “I can understand where they’re coming from,” he said. “They used to have their own private little quad trails to go up there and hunt and now they’ve got the damn road and joeblow from the public is back there cutting firewood and joeblow is back there cutting firewood and hunting. But the fact of the matter is, that’s the only place left for Kalesnikoff to go. It’s the same with Duhamel, we have no other place to go. We’d love to go log somewhere else but those are the charge areas we have.” Hodgkinson said that if Kalesnikoff doesn’t meet its annual allowable cuts, the government will release them to outside parties through non-replaceable forest licences. “So then you’ll get people from any-

where in B.C. coming in to take the cut,” he said. “You’re much better to have local companies that have relationships with the locals.” In an email, Rachel Schmidt, a spokesperson for the Pass Creek Watersheds Committee group, summed up what they are trying to accomplish by engaging with the company. “As concerned citizens we are working to conserve and protect a wide array of forest-related values and alternatives to conventional clear cutting. This means our struggle is not only with logging companies but with our government as well. Many communities are upset and concerned about self-regulatory logging practices and for good reason. Folks in Laird Creek knew that their water was in danger by road building and lodged several complaints but were told the logging contractors were acting in a responsible manner. But a landslide did occur as predicted by residents and damaged the water supply of 100 homes. So we are trying to ensure that doesn’t happen in our valley.”

Investing in community benefits all

The new KIA dealership in Castlegar is good news for this community in a number of different ways. One is that it creates more jobs and will have an immediate economic impact on the community. That is always good. More importantly, however, it shows true faith in the economy of this community by a family that has been doing just that for many years. And we applaud this most recent initiative. From partnering with such organizations as Communities in Bloom, the Castlegar & District Library, Selkirk College, Rotary and many others, the Kalawsky’s are one of the many Castlegar businesses that get it – giving back to the community is what they do. However, this investment is more than that – it is a statement that this family believes in a strong and prosperous future for Castlegar and the West Kootenay. There are few businesses that understand the ebbs and flows of the economy better than those in auto business and this investment can only mean good things for this community. It is always healthy to see economic investment in our communities, and to see it at this size and scale is even more so. The City of Castlegar has done its part with the introduction of a Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw. Something at least two local businesses have benefitted from so far. Let’s hope this positive step leads to more and continued investment by other businesses, as well. We want to hear from you.

A Rootin’ Tootin’ Time Warning: this column is for women only. Ladies, does it seem to you that sometimes, the more things change the more they stay the same? Take men, for example. Some of my earliest memories include those of my three brothers. Saturday mornings were all about sitting around watching cartoons. My younger brother, Jerry, as I recall, loved cartoons, but he also loved westerns. I can picture him now, almost a half a century later (did I really just type that half century thing?) sitting around in his cowboy pajamas which were decorated with pictures of lassos, bucking broncos and cowboys watching those westerns. Slung around his little boy hips was the toy gun and holster set which he wore everywhere, even to bed if mom didn’t catch him beforehand. His eyes were fixated on the television screen as he surely envisioned himself as whichever cowboy hero he was currently watching. Sometimes, he would skip the pajamas altogether and sit there in all his glory wearing only underwear and his loaded holster. Even now I smile at those remembered moments. But, eventually, all boys grow up and outgrow their childhood heroes Cindy Amaral Production Manager

and fantasies. Or do they? Last week I was in the computer room working on something or another. Hubby was in the living room watching TV. All was good in our life as the sounds and comfort of everyday living drifted throughout our home. It was a beautiful fall day, the kind which remains etched in your mind for years to come. The sun was shining and we had just, the day prior, returned home from camping. The day stretched out in front of us, offering all the comforts of home and the promise of utter relaxation. We were in our haven, and, as most women know, that haven (when there aren’t children or other family members running around) sometimes includes the good old luxury of sitting around in your underwear, scratching when you want to scratch (in the case of men) and feeling completely at ease with each other. That day, it was the hubby sitting around in his boxer shorts. The world was his oyster. He had the remote control in one hand, a cold beer in the other, and he was channel surfing. Well, not exactly surfing. It seems he struck gold – he had found a channel which was featuring all day rootin’, tootin’ Westerns, and another channel which featured the old-time yuk-yuk

type of cartoons. Every once in a while I would hear him laughing hilariously at the cartoons, and then, when he switched over to the Westerns I could hear little whoops and hollers as one cowboy shot up another.

The antics made me smile and, when I walked into the living room to ask him something or another, something became crystal clear. When I looked at him sitting in his recliner in his boxer shorts, watching his childhood replay on the television screen it occurred to me that what I was looking at was not the take-charge adult man I had married, but rather the echo of the boy he once was. It struck me at that moment that men really don’t grow up. Sure, they man up, and mine has manned up quite nicely, thank you, but in the end, men are still little boys in many ways. I’m sure there are ladies out there right now who are rolling their eyes, having known all along what I just discovered. What I had discovered, at that moment, is that men are a wonderful study in contrast and depth. They are a beautiful blend of part adult and part child and just because they are required to grow up, doesn’t mean that they are required to grow old. Jim Sinclair Editor

once you add up the additional costs that come from increased injuries and sick time, there are no long-term savings to be found by under staffing. As the union representing the vast majority of care aides and community health workers in B.C., HEU is calling for the changes needed to ensure staff have the time they need to provide quality care.

Jacquelyn Konkin started out her career as an early childhood educator but quickly realized that a bigger focus needed to be put on the relationships at home, particularly between couples. She started out her Passion Parties business in July of 2010 and has not looked back since. Passion Parties is not just entertainment-focused (although they are a lot of fun!) but an

informative and educational in home shopping opportunity designed to promote intimacy and communication between couples. Passion Parties is available to you through home parties, private consultations, or online ordering through her website. Jacquelyn, however, takes her business one step farther by focusing on women as a whole, rather than just the relationship piece. As a busy mother of three, she knows the struggles women face trying to juggle work, friendship, motherhood, romance, and personal growth. Her goal is to support her clients in whatever they want to achieve, whether that is a rewarding career, stronger family, better fitness, or a happier marriage. Her business is about empowerment, women helping women, and relationships - in every aspect of life.

Thursday, October 17, 2013 Castlegar News

illy Monkeys started out as a licensed family dayhome five years ago. After many rewarding years, a light went off and I knew I wanted to further my education and eventually teach preschool. The dayhome was flourishing, so for the sake of the community, I didn’t want to close its doors. A chance encounter made it possible for the dayhome to evolve into an Infant/Toddler Center. This left me free to pursure opening a preschool. After a few

hurdles, a few months later I was able to expand and relocate — bringing the two programs together and offering daycare to three to five-year-olds. After a very busy summer and some renovations, my staff and I have proudly opened the doors to our new Silly Monkeys Childcare Center. The first month has been very busy with lots of new children and staff. We are expanding quickly and couldn’t be happier. It was a very good move and decision. My wonderful staff and I look forward to serving the children and families of Castlegar for years to come. We are able to nurture and care for your children from infancy to school age and have the added bonus of offering them a play-based preschool program along the way.

The Biggest Little Fruit Stand has been in business since 2003 and is a family run business. Upon entering this location be prepared to experience the aroma of Russian cooking and/or baking: our chefs are always busy cooking, baking, or prepping Russian delicacies for your enjoyment. At this location, we pride ourselves on knowing you’ll find the biggest selection of BC fruit and vegetables in the area. You’ll find our staff busy sorting through our produce to provide you with the best product possible, but they’re always eager to help and answer your questions. Since my mom moved back to the Kootenays, she’s been hard at it in our kitchen making some of the best Russian cuisine for all to enjoy.

Silly Monkeys Childcare 1250 26th St. (250) 687-0198 Owner - Danielle Kozak

These recipes have been passed down for generations and she has refined them beautifully. Due to the overwhelming demand, she now has Marie and Nellie cooking as well. Together the three of them combine to make a great team cooking vareniki, pyrahi, borsch (cranky mom) and fruit tarts.

All our fruit tarts are made from the BC fruit and berries that we carry at the store and the cheese for our vareniki and pyrahi is organically made by Jerseyland Organics in Grand Forks. This allows us to offer an even better product at no extra cost to you. We feature a multitude of Fresh & Organic Vegetables, Fresh & Organic Fruits, In Store Deli, Quality Dairy Products, Russian Delicacies, Organic Drinks, Healthy Snacks and Niya Papaya’s Juice & Smoothie Bar. Thanks to everyone for all your support, and remember we deliver as well and can bring this great food right from our store to your door. Just call: 250.365.3373, or go online to: blfruitstand.ca

Helping people and earning a living doing it, it’s no wonder Dr. Brandy Grantham loves her work. The owner of Back in Balance Family Chiropractic and Wellness Center has a major expansion currently underway which is inspired by ongoing strong demand for services offered. It seems increasing public awareness and acceptance of the chiropractic profession and other forms of treatment is leading to busy practitioners across Castlegar and beyond. Back in Balance is growing and it’s an exciting time for all involved. “I’m very happy to announce that we have brought on a whole bunch of new team members and we’re expanding our office space,” said Dr. Grantham recently. With the sound of structural renovations going on, and contractors coming and going, there was not a beat being missed in terms of clients taking advantage of the center the same as usual. The only difference resulting from the work going on, will be a larger, more varied client base as soon as the improvements have been completed later this month. “We’ll have six additional treatment rooms,” Dr. Grantham described. “Castlegar has been desperately in need of more health care practitioners and my practice has exploded since I started back in 2009. I’ve brought on an associate chiropractor.” Additional personnel will serve the needs of those seeking acupuncture, massage, reflexology and reiki treatment.

“We see a real growing need for these services in our community,” the doctor continued. Indeed, demand and a careful business plan have led the way to the thriving situation now being experienced in South Castlegar on the east side of 6th Avenue, two doors north of 24th Street. “I started out very small,” Grantham related, “in one room down at Medical Aesthetics for a few months and then I took over a little space right here at this location. About 18 months ago I renovated this space for myself and one massage therapist. Now we’re renovating another 1,000 square feet and bringing on… I think there’ll be nine of us, altogether.” The word ‘rewarding’ hardly seems adequate in describing the feedback Dr. Grantham gets from her work. “I love coming to work every day,” she beamed, “I help people, from newborn babies to our great-great grandmas.” There is now no reason to expect our pets to go without the liberating relief so many enjoy thanks to professional chiropractic care. “Both Sandy (Battista) and I are certified animal chiropractors,” Grantham continued. “I just have not had the time to service that need in our community. So in addition to treating patients, Dr. Battista will be taking care of our four-legged friends, whether they be dogs or cats… horses or whatever.” A bit of background information on Edmonton native, Dr. Brandy Grantham: “I practiced in Burnaby for 10 years, went to school in Toronto. I grew up in the Okanagan.” Early morning appointments are available at Back in Balance on Tuesday and Friday at 7:30 a.m., evening appointments available Monday and Thursday, and Saturday hours for Chiropractic and Acupuncture. Walk in appointments will be accommodated on a first come, first served basis for Chiropractic during office hours. And also their website, www.backinbalance.ca where they have online appointment scheduling available. Contact info 250-304-4401, 2325-6th Avenue.

From the desk of From the desk of

Dr. Lorne Swetlikoff, BSc., BSc., ND ND Dr. Lorne Swetlikoff, Naturopathic Physician

The ‘newer is better’ motto – as applied to everything from athletic footwear to dessert toppings – is alive and well in spite of a society-wide shift to more natural products and services. More folks than ever are considering the benefits of going the natural route... with their lawn care, for example, cleaning products... and with their health. Dr. Lorne Swetlikoff is a naturopathic physician based in Castlegar and it was through his father’s influence he chose his life’s work. “I grew up in Slocan Park and attended Mt. Sentinel (Secondary) and Selkirk College,” he related in a recent conversation, “then went on to UBC for my Bachelor of Science degree, and on to Seattle… to Bastyr University where I did my naturopathic medical degree.” The Swetlikoff family was ‘alternatively-minded,’ using natural medicine early on. “I kind of knew that I was into medicine and that was the field I was going to go into,” Swetlikoff recalled. “What really interested me was the fact that when you’re treating patients in a naturopathic medical model, you’re looking at the whole person and the various factors that contribute to disease. You’re trying to identify the cause of the condition and use the safest and most natural treatments to restore health and balance to the person. Rather than treating symptoms we focus on treating the cause of the symptom. The analysis is always directed at the underlying cause of the person’s illness.” Swetlikoff stresses that once this type of information is gained

and the appropriate treatment employed, the body has tremendous recuperative ability of its own. With colleagues practicing in Nelson, Rossland and Trail, Dr. Swetlikoff is currently the only naturopathic physician in Castlegar. He sees his field as part of a multi-faceted system made up of valuable components. He states without hesitation that Canada and the United States have the best trauma care facilities on the planet. Where his discipline comes into its own is in terms of chronic conditions, and eventually getting people out of the system which is so widely seen as overburdened. “Health and wellness are something you work at,” says Swetlikoff, “and if you do the right things long enough, consistently you end up skirting illness, in most cases.” Naturopathic medicine is a regulated health college in the Province of British Columbia and has been since 1934, according to Swetlikoff who has recently served 10 years as the president of that body. Health is a huge topic, relevant to everyone, and one that Dr. Swetlikoff is extremely well-versed in. He could have easily given thoughtful, informative responses to dozens more questions, but the main one, was, ‘What is the number one point you’d like to make in addressing the people of Castlegar?’ His reply concludes this profile: “If you are ready to take action and control of your health and wellness then naturopathic medicine is certainly there to assist you. In my 19 years of practice and experience, naturopathic medicine not only effectively treats a wide range of conditions, it also helps people become well again. That’s exciting!”

The city partnered with LRL to replace the high pressure sodium (HPS) heads. This is approximately 80 per cent of all the streetlights in the city.

The Selkirk College Gala 2013 is slated for Nov. 23 and this year the task of putting together the amazing auction table has been handed to the ASE students. Classes from Nelson, Castlegar, Trail and Grand Forks be raising funds for the college and their specific programs. “We love large, inclusive projects for our students,” said Nelson ASE instructor Ray Brock. “Projects that teach students about taking responsibility, having a higher profile, taking charge of their own life and achieving their goals.

The tartans were in full bloom on Saturday, Oct. 5 at Stanley Humphries Secondary School in Castlegar for the 9th Annual Castlegar Highland Games. With 48 competing dancers, numerous individual pipers and

drummers, and four visiting pipebands, the school was full of life as the day of Scottish Heritage unfolded with many great performances. Hannah Brown of Scottie School of Highland Dance in Castlegar won the aggregate trophy in the Intermediate Division

Ali Meredith, aka: “Terror Australis” recuperating after an inury in the early part of her roller derby career.

Submitted: WKRD

Before the season had even started, it seemed like my derby career might be over and done with. I was out for the season at the very least. I had surgery the next day and woke up with a 6 inch plate and 6 screws on the outside of my leg holding my fibula together and two more screws on the inside of my ankle holding my chunk of tibia back on. I also had the makings of some pretty gnarly scars. If someone had told me at that point that I would be back to play in the championship game that year, play every bout for the Angels and the Kannibelles in 2012, be voted both skaters’ MVP and coach’s MVP for the Angels

in 2012, be voted Kannibelles Assistant Captain for the first quarter of 2013, skate with the Kannibelles in the first RDAC Roller Derby Nationals in Edmonton and be in the winning line up at the 2013 Sporkanage tournament, I’m not sure I would have believed them. Still, as my team and league mates sent flowers, care packages, cards and well wishes, I knew I didn’t want to lose everything I had so recently gained through derby. Derby is a contact sport, and injuries do happen. But no more than in any other contact or extreme sport, and you can break your leg tripping off an icy curb.

Love of derby drives Terror Australis Continued from Pg. A23

For me, all the great things about derby more than outweighed any fear of injury. I knew I wanted to get back on my skates and wasn’t going to be deterred by this minor setback of having to be non weight bearing for 6 weeks and who knows how long of physio after that. I decided to focus on the positives of my injury, and keep a positive frame of mind. I am sure happy bones heal faster. So, I hear you ask, what exactly were the positives of breaking my leg? Well, I had a nice long break from work, which was overwhelmingly crazy at the time. Thanks to my very supportive and lovely boyfriend (Coach Phil Yer Pants) and family, I was exempt from all household duties and responsibilities

like cooking, cleaning, and walking the dog. I had lots of time to watch movies and read, which I love, and I rediscovered my interest in crochet and created all sorts of wonderful things for myself and for my friends. Sure there was discomfort, pain and frustration at not being able to move around and missing out on snowboarding for pretty much a whole winter, not being able to roller skate and watching all my teammates progress and get better and better without me. But as I said, I decided to keep the focus on the positives. I also decided to keep my head in the game. I still attended Angels practices, first sitting on a chair, then on crutches, then with a walking stick, taking in all the drills and strategies. Storing the knowledge away for the day

I would be able to put it into practice. I volunteered as announcer, bench coach and NSO for bouts. I coached the new intake of freshmeat in Trail, limping around and pointing my walking stick at them for emphasis (I was compared to Yoda for this!). I talked strategy with Phil Yer Pants and cheered on my teammates as they went from strength to strength, some of them making the Kannibelles and representing at the Westerns tournament in Kelowna. In May 2011, three and a half short months after my injury, I put my skates on and skated around for 15 minutes at a practice. It was a tentative start, but I was back and the only way was up. I worked really hard at physio and I had a lot of support from Phil, friends, teammates and work, but I really believe

that the key to getting back into derby so quickly was staying positive and keeping my head in the game. All I had to do once my leg was healed and ready for action was build my fitness back up. In my head, I already knew the moves and the strategies, all I had to do was apply them. Now, nearly three years after breaking my leg at derby I have over 40 bouts and scrimmages under my belt, I have made some amazing friends and travelled to places for derby I would never otherwise have gone (Edmonton in winter, twice !?!). I am still training with the Kannibelles and have now added reffing to my derby repertoire. I am Terror Australis and this is my derby adventure so far.

Manage stress naturally improve energy, sleep Better, Reduce Cravings By Karen Jensen, ND Our ability to adapt to stress depends upon optimal function of the adrenal glands. When excess stress overloads our adrenal glands symptoms can include: fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, depression, low back pain, asthma, allergies, blood sugar problems, hormonal imbalances, irritability, headaches, sugar cravings, gastrointestinal symptoms and inflammatory conditions.

The ‘roots’ of the original AdrenaSense Formula

Throughout my life I had good health and boundless energy and then suddenly in my early 30’s I hit the wall with fatigue… I had three children under the age of 3, my marriage broke up, and I went back to work thinking I could ‘do it all’. My body did not agree… nothing helped the crippling fatigue until I saw a naturopathic doctor who introduced me to my adrenal glands. When I started naturopathic practice in the 1980’s it was my own experience with adrenal fatigue that allowed me to recognize it in my patients and over the years I saw the need for an effective adrenal supplement. AdrenaSense® is the original solution I formulated for patients and others who have found it very effective.

The herbs in the AdrenaSense formula are called adaptogens that have been proven to support stress reactions and normalize adrenal function. These include Rhodiola, Suma, Schizandra Berries, Siberian Ginseng and Ashwagandha, which in combination, enhance mental and physical performance; balance the nervous system helping with anxiety and insomnia; support the immune, cardiovascular and hormonal systems; counteract fatigue, anxiety and depression; as well as provide vital energy. $

Sports Castlegar golfer 7th at national tourney Castlegar golfer Al Cummings finished seventh in his division at the Special Olympics Canada National Golf Tournament at the University Golf Club in Vancouver held Wednesday, Oct. 2 to Sunday, Oct 6. The tournament was three-days of nine-hole competition and Cummings lead his division in scoring on the par-three holes after day one. His opening round of 55 was helped by pars on both the 124-yard 11th and 110-yard 16th and he found himself just one off the lead. On day two and three, he fired rounds of 66 and 63 to finish nine back of the leaders. “His average is 52 and he finished 7th in the men’s group. He’s not so young either, he’s 47-years-old,” said Cummings’ coach, Ben Postmus, who travelled with Cummings to the tournament. “He was the second oldest guy there.” Postmus said the weather was perfect for golf other than the practice round being rained out. There were

five divisions and the M2 division that Cummings was in had an eight-player field with golfers from B.C., N.S., Sask. and Ont. The top player, Danny Peaselee of Manitoba, shot a total of 123 with rounds of 44-41-38 but Peaselee was not in Cummings’ division. The biggest thing to remember, said Postmus, is not to try and change the players’ games but to help them play their own game while having fun. That said, there was more than a hint of pride in his’ voice when discussing Cummings’ performance. “I was his coach at the summer provincial games in Langley last year, where he won a silver medal,” said Postmus, who has known Cummings for a number of years. “We’ve tried to get together once a week in the last few months, sometime it happened and sometimes it didn’t. We go to either Champion Lakes or Castlegar.” Cummings has called the Castlegar Golf Club his home course after moving to the city a couple of years ago; he used to

The Castlegar Rebels split a pair of weekend games against the Nelson Leafs during a busy weekend in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. On Saturday, Oct. 12, the Rebs were one of 16 KIJHL teams in action, battling hard for a 3-2 victory against their Neil Murdoch Division rivals in doubleovertime. Saturday was the second regular season matchup for the two teams, with the Leafs winning the first game in Castlegar on Sep. 13 by a score of 5 - 2. Nelson has had an impressive early season run, coming into Saturday’s tilt with an unblemished 7-0-1 record. True to recent form, Nelson opened the scoring at 5:03 of the first on the power play as the Rebels were killing off a high-sticking call against Diego Bartlett. Former Rebel Travis Wellman fed another former Rebel, Jamie Vlanich, who picked up his seventh goal and 21st point of the season on the play. Just 10 seconds after the reset, Linden

Horswill snagged the Leafs second of the night on a feed from Carson Willans and Nolan Percival. Castlegar’s starting goaltender, Nate Rabbit, looked solid after that, starting down a further 16 shots in the opening period. The Rebels almost picked up a goal to

move seemed to be a retaliatory action against Beitel, as Bryant was seen without a glove, clutching his arm moments before. In the third, Bartlett knotted things at two apiece with 8:24 left on the clock, banging in a puck that Nelson start Tyler Moffat was unable to corral

come at a better time. The Rebels had a very short rest before taking on the Leafs again Sunday, Oct. 13 in Nelson in an afternoon game. The Rebels struck first on Sunday, when Linden Calliou’s second of the season early in the opening period got past Nelson’s

pull within one when defenceman Cole Arcuri mangled a pass on a line change, but were unable to connect before the Leafs recovered. Bartlett redeemed himself after sitting in the box on Nelson’s first goal by getting one of his own at 2:39. Jeremy McNeil and Derek Georgopoulos picked up assists on the play. The second period saw plenty of endto-end action but neither side could find the net. Referee McDonell let the two teams play despite a couple of high-profile slashes, most notably one from the Rebels Tyler Bryant on the Leafs’ JJ Beitel, that drew a collective gasp from the crowd. The

for his second of the night. Assists went to Chase Reddin and Hunter Jenerou on the tying goal. A five-minute overtime settled nothing despite numerous good opportunities from both teams and a final five-minute overtime, with three skaters a side, brought the energy level in the Castlegar Complex to a crescendo. With 1:24 to play in the three-on-three overtime period, Derek Georgopoulos took a feed from defenceman Seth Schmidt and the Cranbrook native made no mistake in burying the winner behind Moffat. The goal was Georgopoulos’ fifth of the season and could not have

starter Tyler Moffat. After that, however, it was all Nelson as they took full control of the game and stormed on to win 9 - 1, outshooting the visiting Castlegar team 42-20. Nate Rabbit, spectacular in goal the previous night, was yanked shortly after 40 minutes of play but Patrick Zubick fared no better for the remainder, as the Leafs got three past him as well. Castlegar now has a 6-4-0-3 record, sitting second in their division behind the Leafs. They will take on the North Okanagan Knights on Friday, Oct. 18 in Armstrong, marking the start of a three-game away stretch.

Sports Selkirk Saints shutout visiting Vikes Castlegar News Reporter

seconds remaining to seal the shutout for Hurry. “I thought we had a slow start and didn’t really get up to full speed until the second period, but once we did the pressure and execution were as good as we’ve seen so

far this season,” said Saints head coach Jeff Dubois in a release. “We were able to roll four lines and get everybody involved.” The Saints next face Thompson Rivers University Oct. 18 on home-ice. Game time is at 7:30 p.m.

The Selkirk Saints Men’s Hockey team dominated the University of Victoria Vikes on Friday, Oct. 11 in a 5 - 0 shutout. The first period was an end-to-end, hardhitting 20 minutes with both teams having opportunities… after a brief delay where the rink crews ingeniously broke out the duct tape to address an issue with the end boards behind the UVIC net. The Saints had the edge in shots on net, hitting Vikes starting net-minder Sunny Gill for 10. At the other end, Selkirk’s Chris Hurry was less busy, facing just three shots from the visiting team. The Saints took a two-goal in the second, with both com-

ing from #27, captain Logan Proulx. His first goal was the product of hard work, chasing rebounds to the glove side of Gill. His second was more of the same, finding a rebound in tight. The Vikes had difficulty maintaining any kind of puck possession in the second, and Selkirk out-shot the Vancouver Island squad by a whopping 17 shots. With time winding down in the period, Brad Robinson took an interference call that would lead to the Saints starting the third on the power play. In the final period, the Vikes killed off the penalty but Connor McLaughlin made it a 4 - 0 Selkirk lead with 14:24 showing on the clock and then forward Garrett Kucher put a stamp on it with only 8.1

Selkirk College enrolment increases Submitted

Selkirk College’s 2013 fall enrolment numbers are showing an increase in the number of students. Final semester calculations will be compiled for the end of October, but the annual September headcount reveals a 3.6 per cent increase in domestic students and a 21 per cent increase in international students. “Although we are seeing enrolment fluctuations in a number of programs, there are also some clear positive signs,” said Neil Coburn, Selkirk College Vice President. “For example, we have the strongest Engineering enrolment in a dozen years. But the enrolment highlight is definitely a new online program serving pharmacy technicians across Canada. The

September NAPRA [National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities] bridging program intake had more than 330 registrants. We expect even stronger registrations for the January intake.” Selkirk is the only college in Canada offering the online program. The program allows those already working in the role of the pharmacy technician to upgrade their skills to align with changes in the scope of practice for pharmacy technicians without having to return to school to complete a full-time training program. The ultimate goal of the virtual classroom is to provide training across Canada and enable regulated pharmacy technicians to relocate and work anywhere in Canada without having to requalify.

Marvin Beatty

The Engineering program falls under the University Arts and Sciences department based in Castlegar and is part of Selkirk College’s emphasis of giving students an excellent start in a rural setting. “The option for students to start their university degree in a more intimate setting is a distinct Selkirk College advantage,” said Coburn. “Engineering is just one example of the importance we place on transfer agreements with larger institutions.”

The bump in international students is a product of work being done overseas in recent months, particularly in India. “Selkirk College offers international students a great place to learn and explore a special region of Canada,” said Coburn. “Having these students on our campuses brings the added bonus of shrinking the world for our domestic students.” In total there are 2,155 students currently registered in Selkirk College programs.

Nick Oglow 1918 - 2013 It is with sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our dear husband, father, grandfather and uncle, Nicholas Oglow, pioneer of Castlegar, BC. He passed away October 12, 2013 at Castleview Care Centre. Nick was born in Pincher Creek, Alberta on December 8, 1918 of Doukhobor ancestry. He was blessed with 94 years of life. Nick was raised in Winlaw and Glade, BC. One of his first jobs was as a carpenter’s helper with his Dad and brothers. His entrepreneurial spirit began at an early age when he purchased the Dollar Dry Cleaners in Trail, BC. He later bought a grocery store and gas station in Thrums, BC. After that he started a new dry cleaning business in Castlegar where the existing Oglow building stands today. In the 1950’s Nick was instrumental with his brothers Bill, Pete and Paul in starting Oglow Brothers Building Supply and Oglow Building Contractors. Over the years they built many of the regions landmarks. Nick later worked with his brother Paul at the Motor License office and continued to be involved with some aspect of family business well into his 70’s. Nick was elected Chairman of the Village Council in Castlegar in the 1950’s. He was politically active almost all his life. In the 1960’s he ran as a candidate for the Liberal party. Nick married the love of his life, Shirley, in 1977 and his family grew to include Grams, Nancy, Ken, and Grandpa George Hunter. Nick and Shirley enjoyed their many trips to Hawaii and also visited Hong Kong, China, Mexico, Cuba and even visited their exchange students in Japan. He was elected and re-elected for 24 years to the Castlegar Hospital Board and is known to this day for his significant achievements such as proposing Talarico Place. He was also known for his progressive community ideas and served as the president of the Curling Club during the construction of the Castlegar curling rink. Nick had been a member of the Castlegar Golf Club since its beginning. He had undoubtedly committed himself to bettering the community of Castlegar serving eight years on Castlegar Municipal Council. Nick chaired the building committee for the Castlegar United Church and was a life time member of the Doukhobor Historical Society. He was a long standing member of the Kiwanis Club and in 2010 Nick and his brother Paul were recognized as joint Castlegar Citizens of the Year. Nick was an avid athlete from early on and as a young man he became manager of a Teen Town Softball Team that became champions. He was an avid golfer, curler and downhill skier, a sport that he did well until almost 80 years old. Nick is survived by his loving wife Shirley, daughter Nancy Tremblay, son Ken Hunter-Oglow (Wanita) and many special nieces and nephews. He was a proud grandfather of Caleisha, Taylor, Jaden and Abigail. Nick was predeceased by his son-in-law Dan, his devoted parents Tom and Martha (Wishlow), brothers William, Pete & Paul and Uncle Jack Wishlow. As an expression of condolence, donations in Nick’s memory may be made to: Castlegar & District Hospital Foundation, 709 10th St, Castlegar, BC V1N 2H7 or online at www. castlegarhospitalfoundation.org The family extends their grateful thanks to Dr. Merritt and the Castleview Care Team. A memorial service will be held at the Castlegar United Church, 809 Merry Creek Rd., Saturday, October 19, 2013 at 10:30 a.m. with Reverend Marcella Mugford officiating. Interment will take place at Park Memorial Cemetery Rest in Peace
