One of the biggest venues in town was jammed to capacity on Friday night as the African Chidren’s Choir sprung an

electrifying show on an all-ages group. The New Life Church had even supplied dozens of extra seats for the occasion – a beautiful demonstration of the love and energy present among the

GREATSERVICE & GREATVALUE

18 dancers, their drummers and the folks steering the group from one memorable event to another. The group offers children in places like Uganda, Nigeria and Rwanda

a ticket to a bright future, offering formal academic education and the priceless education gained by world travel. Acceptance of the youngsters was (as our Canadian customs would

suggest) polite but reserved at first, only to become boisterous bordering on wild as the evening went on.

Thank you to the African Childrens’ Choir!

The sky’s the limit in terms of students’ elbow room in the second-year portion of the aviation curriculum at Selkirk College. There are just three students currently going through the Castlegarbased program and the College is seeing to it that they will complete the course as per their plans. Enrollment numbers are obviously down, but not such that the program is necessarily facing discontinuation in spite of the program’s intake having been suspended. “We’re probably going to need to get our board of governors together toward the end of this month,” informed college president Angus Graeme on July 9. “No decisions have been made at this point.” The long-running (about 45 years) aviation program may be a high-profile draw for the college but Graeme points out it is valued on an equal footing overall. “We offer 68 programs across the West KootenayBoundary, some of them two years, some of them one, some of them… four,” said Graeme. “Every program’s important. What we’re trying to work through with this one is… ‘What is a sustainable model, to see it continue?’” A contributing factor is the number of options now available to students pursuing aviation-related careers.

In happier times, pilot and Selkirk grad Max Cameron, left, gave Selkirk College President Angus Graeme a look at the cockpit of a CF-18 fighter jet during an aviation program reunion on Sept. 18, 2012. Jim Sinclair photo

“When the program started in 1971 it was the only one in Canada, if not Western Canada,” Graeme continued. “Now, in B.C. alone there are five others as well as us. It’s a different world. We’re the only one that runs our own fleet of aircraft. The others are all private, public partnerships. It’s a tremendously expensive program to maintain to the standard you need in order to make it safe and sustainable.” Graeme and his colleagues have some serious

meetings ahead, with short and long term items on the agenda. “There’s sort of two separate things,” the college president explained. “The priority for me is, ‘how are we going to support those three students to complete their diplomas?’ The other issue is the ongoing analysis of whether the program, in its current form, is sustainable.” A familiar question from outside the program involves stepped up recruitment efforts, which Graeme

says are not as simple as they seem. “It’s not as easy as it sometimes rolls off the tongue,” Graeme stated, “marketing can be something that can produce results, but it’s not always a direct link to increased business.” The president concluded by giving an assurance that any significant upcoming decisions by the Selkirk College board, on the aviation program or other program, would be accompanied by a related press release.

Don’t count on WestJet service anytime soon in Castlegar JIM SINCLAIR Castlegar News Editor

If WestJet does start to fly in to Castlegar one day, it won’t be soon. Further to a story appearing in the

June 26 edition of the Castlegar News on the chances of a new carrier at the West Kootenay Regional Airport, the airline’s media rep had this to inform, via email on July 3: “We are indeed unveiling our schedule for winter 2014-

156 Athletes and 35 Coaches from the Kootenays (Zone 1) will be at the Nanaimo 2014 BC Summer Games July 17- 20.

GOOD LUCK !

2015 later this month but as you know we’re on record as taking WestJet Encore eastward this year following our launch in the west in 2013. Afraid I don’t have anything to share with regard to Castlegar right now, sorry.”

CASTLE BREW News A very wet Monday is booked for early August Christmas in July WINE & BEER MAKING CENTRE

Castlegar News Editor

It may be said they’re about to turn on the tap, open the flood gates… or whatever. The City of Castlegar is splashing the news of the Millennium Ponds grand opening across the media, and why not? This week has seen weather as hot as it’s been in the past several years and and opening day of Monday, August 4… BC Day, will probably be a good time to consider a refreshing dip at Millennium Park. The ponds project came about as part of the Millennium Park Masterplan, itself part of the civic Official Community Plan process back in 2011. The public consultation component had identified a public swimming amenity as something that would go over big, and city council and staff obviously took those wishes to heart. Mayor Lawrence Chernoff pointed out that it was director of civic works Chris Barlow who had come up with the idea, and on whose suggestion the concept had been introduced to the public. The public, in turn, appeared to have gotten on the bandwagon in a big way. The past several years have seen a trend in the city toward more culture and recreation and it’s easy to see the appeal of such a shift. The price tag for the massive landscaping effort amounted to about $1.6 million, which the mayor said was on budget. Reached by phone on July 8, Mayor Chernoff was full of excited superlatives on the topic of the pools. “It kind of evolved by itself,” he said, “and for the community I think this is the greatest thing ever – an opportunity to take your family down there… and the kids and adults can have a great time. The view

is spectacular and with the Rotary picnic area coming… I think we’re going to have a great place.” The city, not known for letting any special event go uncelebrated, has a suitable amount of hoopla on the August 4 grand opening agenda. Dubbing the facility a ‘Premier Regional Destination Park,’ organizers have lined up a slate of activities and attractions to run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. With hundreds of rubber duckies in the kids’ pond, there will be festive ambience spawned by music and food vendors… and an official plaque unveiling at 11:30. Lawn chairs and beach towels are recommended. Need a beach ball? This might be your big chance. “It’ll really bring a community together,” the mayor enthused about the water park, “…our community especially.” Weighing in on the topic, and being every bit as upbeat about it was Councillor Dan Rye. “I think it’s pretty exciting for Castlegar and area just becuase we have no actual beach area,” said Rye. “This

is a beautiful area, the setting is fantastic and people are excited about it.” The member of Castlegar City Council sees the buzz continuing at the municipal oasis. “Millennium Park is where you’re going to see

things expand even more,” concluded Rye. “It started with the Rotary gym project. Now with the ponds and the Rotary picnic shelters, not to mention the bike park on the way... it’s all good news stuff down there.”

BIO & ARTIST STATEMENT: I grew up in the East Kootenays and after attending Selkirk College’s Recreation, Fish and Wildlife Technician program, spent a few years in the Okanagan. I moved back to the Kootenays to live in Castlegar about six years ago.

I’ve been creating art in one form or another for most of my life, but currently I’ve been focusing primarily on acrylic painting. My inspiration comes from being outdoors in all seasons, usually with a camera in hand and my dog at my side.

BIO & ARTIST STATEMENT: On Monday evenings, when the Robson Community School is in session, a group of around seven artists can be found creating paintings with a wide variety of subjects in different mediums. Our group was formed in 2003 by a few artists in Robson who wanted to share ideas, inspire each other, develop their skills and welcome new artists from the surrounding area. Although there are no formal lessons taught, mem-

bers offer some help to each other. We each have a different reason for painting: for some it’s to market their work, while others simply paint for the sheer joy of the experience. This year for Castlegar’s Art Walk, we are happy to be back on display at Central City Shoes. And as our member Sandra Donohue points out, “owner Derek Kittson and his staff are very welcoming and supportive, and they provide a lovely space for us.”

Castlegar founder’s family pays a visit Local historian Walter Volovsek, author of a book on Castlegar founder Edward Mahon, was visited last week by three generations of Mr. Mahon’s relatives. Edward’s daughter-in-law Marolyn has been here several times, including the occasion of Volovsek’s book signing event at the Castlegar and District Public Library a couple of years ago. Her son Ross was making his sec-

ond visit to the area named by his grandfather in honour of his ancestral Irish home. His first look at Castlegar, BC was in 1972 as a young boy. “Ross was very impressed by the local attractions we visited as well as the beauty of the area,” Volovsek told the Castlegar News, “… and he is talking about a return visit in the not too distant future.”

Last one in’s a rotten egg! Let’s give credit where credit’s due, and we’re not being paid to say this. But the folks at the City of Castlegar behind the decision to go ahead with the Millennium Ponds project ought to be feeling pretty good about now – and all the better if sizzling hot weather should hold up. The City has just put out the official word of the August 4 Grand Opening of the three river-fed swimming pools at Millennium Park. Work on the project began early last year. How does the expression go? ‘Dig it and they will dip?’ Only time will tell how this municipal enhancement ultimately goes over, but how can you miss by boosting the odds of locals and visitors having a good time? All infrastructure and civic business is important to a community and no one here is suggesting anything unflattering about pothole repair, zoning amendments or tweaking to the board of variance… but they just seem a little… dry. How many times have you driven past Christina Lake in the summer and thought to yourself… ‘I bet there’s a lot of fun happening here today.’ That’s it in a nutshell. The free-admission ponds won’t pay for themselves (cost projections are about $1.6M) but the community will likely benefit in other ways – most importantly, by encouraging some residents to stick around in the summer, and giving visitors positive memories of Castlegar. . The ponds will be free to use. The issue has been covered fairly well since 2011 when the planning process began.

We want to hear from you.

Huckleberry friends Spots in Time Gord Turner “Moon River”, a lovely song from the 1960s, still charms listeners today. Composed by Henry Mancini with lyrics by songwriter Johnny Mercer, it was featured in the movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” Those lyrics spoke about being “after the same rainbow’s end/ waiting round the bend/my huckleberry friend.” As I listened to that song the other night, it occurred to me my friends and I were “after the same rainbow’s end”—not a pot of gold, but a bucket of lush huckleberries. Always for us, there are huckleberry bushes “waiting round the bend” or just over that hillside, or down in that gully. And we’re happy to seek these signs of a good summer because we’re huckleberry friends. Huckleberry friends are those friends who are willing to wander in the forest with you in good times and bad—when there are berries and when there are not. These people can be counted on to show up when it’s raining or when it’s sweltering hot. They can handle scratches on their hands and legs, mosquito bites on their necks, and tumbles down slight inclines. They arrive to be with you, but their primary goal is the picking of huckleberries, preferaTheresa Hodge Office Manager

bly marble-sized, glistening-black, and plentiful. I thought about this the other day while I was clamped to the side of a cliff with a few flies humming about me and the rumbling of a train in the distance. Despite the need to hold tightly to a branch to avoid falling eight feet straight down through prickly bushes and dead brown ferns, I was comfortable. With one hand I could still pick the dark huckleberries that ripen in that location in late June, and so I was happy. I have always been happy in berry patches, whether it was the saskatoon or chokecherry glades of my youth or the huckleberry bonanzas on mountainsides here in B.C. Plunking berries into my pail and holding on tight, I realized that happiness finds its way into our hearts in tiny bursts and often in the strangest places. Nearby was one of my long-time huckleberry friends pouring berries into her pail. She had to get down some of those cliffside slopes by sliding on her bum and getting purple streaks in her clothing as a result. She had found a place to sit among the berries and began filling her pail. Sometimes we wandered along the cliff and ended up hundreds of metres

apart. At other times, we were within a few metres of each other if one or the other found heavy picking. Often huckleberry friends will tell each other stories to accompany the picking. Both of us have been on berry-picking jaunts where some of the gatherers didn’t want to pick. She said she had met someone who refused to pick huckleberries because she had been forced to pick berries when she was young. Consequently, that person hated picking berries. I told her that some of my friends would rather shoot grasshoppers than go berry picking. But strangely enough, in her case and in mine, we loved picking berries from the first time we purpled our hands. There’s something so relaxing about being alone in the woods, berry bushes bending around you, a hawk soaring high above against a fluff of white clouds, and barely a sound filtering through from far-off civilization. Among my other huckleberry friends, D can out-pick me, H won’t leave the patch once he’s in it, and J wanders far and wide, always looking for better berries. But they all have one thing in common—they love being in the heart of a berry patch, picking away.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

JOIN US ON FACEBOOK

CASTLEGAR CASTLEGAR NEWS NEWS Re: It’s great to be Canadian, editorial, July 3. With yet another flag-waving Canada Day behind us, celebrating Canada’s 147th birthday, replete with a veritable love-in of self-congratulatory fervour, one cannot escape the uncomfortable notion that it is a slippery slope from patriotism to jingoism. From Dominion Day to Canada Day: From the historical significance of the Parliament of Canada officially recognizing July 1 as Dominion Day in 1879 to the banality of Canada Day, as a result of Pierre Elliott Trudeau ramming a private member’s bill through the House of Commons without the required proper quorum of 20 members on a Friday afternoon be-

fore summer recess on July 9, 1982 ...... all part of his efforts of “re-branding” Canada. Trudeau’s contrived official policy of legislated multiculturalism, passed by Parliament on July 7, 1988 as the “Act for the Preservation and Enhancement of Multiculturalism”, has in reality become a politically and socially engineered substitute fornational identity and a sad manifestation of the growing ignorance, particularly among young Canadians, with respect to Canada’s traditional, national and historical heritage. Approaching Canada’s 150th birthday three years from now in 2017, let’s resolve to re-name “Canada Day” to “Confederation Day” to keep reminding ourselves of thecountry’s historical roots. National days celebrate

self-made historical achievement. The French people gave birth to their nation on July 14, 1789, and celebrate is as Bastille Day. Americans gave birth to their nation on July 4, 1776, and celebrate it as Independence Day. Canada began its journey to self-government on July 1, 1867 as the federal Dominion of Canada with the Confederation of the three colonies of British North America into the Canadian provinces of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. If we really want to celebrate this precious country of ours and honour its history, let’s mark Canada’s birthday as ... Confederation Day !

Gospel music July 19

Organizers are busy putting the final touches in place, while singers and musicians are busy practicing for the Second Annual Pass Creek Gospel Music Festival set for Saturday, JULY 19. The concert at the Pass Creek Exhibition Grounds will begin at 6 p.m. Following last year’s event which drew more than 300 people, organizers have taken audience feedback to heart and extended the showtime by a half hour on each end. Four local groups are scheduled with the possibility of a fifth to join the program. The featured group this year is Three and Company, consisting of Dale and Diane Johnson from Edmonton and Brent Anderson from Leduc, Alberta. The group has won a CMA award and has four consecutive nominations for Southern Gospel Album of the Year to its credit, winning the covenant award in 2008. With each member holding down a full-time job, Three and Company is currently in its 15th year performing throughout Western Canada. The concession stand will be open for this year’s festival, run by the Pass Creek Exhibition Society, so please come early and support them. Don’t forget your lawn chairs as seating is limited, and bring a sweater or jacket as it cools off quickly after sundown. In case of rain at the beautiful Pass Creek site the show will move to the New Life Church across 7th Avenue from Stanley Humphries

Introducing our new advice columnist

Miss Sensibility

Thursday, July 10, 2014 Castlegar News

Community

B L O O M judges are on the way Val Field planting for Communities in Bloom 2014.

Miss Sensibility, My husband and I have been happily married for 18 years. We have always gotten along great and been able to work through our misunderstandings quite easily - except where my mother-in-law is concerned! Every summer she comes to visit us and every year it is horrible! She is cruel, critical, and just plain mean. My husband always defends her even though she makes me and the kids miserable. We spend the entire month long visit squabbling and ﬁghting until she leaves and I don’t know if I can handle another visit this year. How can I get my husband to understand how I feel? Thanks, Miserable daughter-in-law

Dear Miserable Daughter in law, This kind of situation is exactly why Mother-in-law jokes are plentiful. You know the type, “What do you do if you miss your mother in law ...... Reload and try again”. While it is true that a husband’s responsibility is to support his wife, telling him so or listing all the things he should say to his mother will probably not get you anywhere. Some open, honest, calm communication about your feelings will be more productive. As much as possible, avoid criticizing your Mother in Law, remembering she is your husband’s mother and no one likes to hear their momma bad-mouthed. Ask your husband for his help coming up with a solution to the problem. Consider options such as shorter visits or setting some boundaries while she is there. When your Mother in law is visiting, do your best to repair the relationship. As the old saying goes, you will catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. The challenge is to behave well in difficult circumstances, and you can only hope that it will inspire the same behaviour in others. By all means, take time to do things that will give you a break and a bit of space during these visits. If all of these fail, take comfort in knowing you did your best and your martyrdom is only temporary; and pledge to never to become a battle axe of a mother in law yourself! Sensibly yours,

Castlegar Communities in Bloom is getting ready for this year’s big test. Acclaimed experts are on the way and virtually every petal is in place getting ready for them. Judges Lucie Gagne from Boucherville, Quebec and Piet Boersma, from The Netherlands arrive on Sunday July 20. They’ll begin Castlegar’s evaluation for the International Challenge – which involves winners from Communities in Bloom, Britain in Bloom, America in Bloom, Tidy Towns of Ireland, Japan in Bloom, Entente Florale and other national programs competing against each other based on population categories. The evaluation is based on the accomplishments of the entire community, municipality, businesses and institutions, citizens and community groups, and on the following criteria: Tidiness; Environmental Action; Heritage Conservation; Urban Forestry; Landscaped Areas; Turf and Groundcovers; and Floral Display.

Castlegar News Carrier of the Month Davin Esovoloff Davin received a Castlegar Recreation Centre gift certificate.

Community Involvement is taken into consideration in all criteria. So we encourage businesses, institutions, and homeowners to tidy their property to add an impressive curb appeal. It is all about taking pride in our city. Judges and volunteers will tour the city on Monday and Tuesday July 21 - 22, meeting various groups and individuals throughout the day. We’ll discuss our accomplishments for the past year, which support the areas of criteria. We will visit historical sites, municipal buildings, parks, schools, institutions, community gardens. It only takes ONE to make a difference… to begin the process of sharing our Castlegar with the world. Castlegar’s Communities in Bloom committee invites you to work together and showcase our Castlegar – weed whack, pick up litter, clean those business frontages, sweep those sidewalks all year round.

it.’” This year’s annual general meeting has been held and was apparently very successful. Williams, with a good deal of his own experience as a landlord, saluted previous boards for their commitment on the society’s behalf, while also empathizing with the situation it was in after a number of years. For instance, Brian Brady who had done much society work stepped aside last year, with others, making way for a new board. The current board of the RotaVilla Society consists of: Elmer Williams, Marian LaBrie, Marsha Carew, Joan Hall and Bev Williams. These directors were elected by acclamation at the AGM and will sit on the board this year. Board members were not linked with specific positions as yet. “It’s back as a non-profit society,” said Elmer Williams who went on to describe his own involvement. “A few years back there was a dispute that I helped a tenant with,” he recalled. “Then I started seeing what was going on and I could never figure out why they were saying they had such high vacancy rates.” But Williams expressed the opinion that it was the case of a worn out board… tired of getting little or no support that was at the root of the

malaise. He now sees the fresh wave of recent volunteer support as essential in the current operation. “I’m pretty excited about the direction we’re going,” he stated. Another nod was given to the predecessors. “Mr. Brady had been on the board, ran it, and did admirably for a long time,” said Williams. “I think he did an incredible job.” For whatever reason there was an apparent low point in volunteerism leading the current renaissance. For his part, Brian Brady has moved on but has no regrets about his input which he says spanned a good deal more than 15 years. He is happy for the way the society appears to be headed. “It was fulfilling to keep the residents looked after while also keeping an eye on the business end of things,” said Brady on July 1. “We’re not out of the woods,” Williams related, “but we held status quo and we’ve got the boat going the right way we want good quality low-income housing for our seniors at Rota Villa”. Elmer Williams concluded by listing an updating of the language in the society’s constitution, as well as an invitation to local service clubs to be involved in the running of the residence, as items on the society’s to-do list.

OF THE WEEK!

Drive The worldwide launch of the NX was held right here in B.C., driving between ultra modern Vancouver and the rustic resort of Whistler. International guests were exposed to the two sides of the NX, the polished city vehicle and the weekend getaway SUV. Powering around the mountain resort, I got my first shot at the all-new 2.0L direct inject turbocharged 4-cylinder that Lexus will use in a number of its vehicles. With 235hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque this new power plant does a good job once the NX 200t is in motion; it is getting away from a stop that could use a bit more snap. AWD is standard across the lineup but the system is designed to run in front wheel drive as much as possible to help save fuel. Lexus has made no bones about its target; it sees the Audi Q5 as the benchmark in this class. Audi has been at the small turbocharged game a lot longer and it shows, plus the handling of the NX isn’t sharp at all. In fact, all the passengers inside the base model test vehicle noticed the top-heavy body roll. Verdict What Lexus (Toyota) has been up to over the past ten-plus years is

producing hybrid cars in numbers nobody else can touch. This new NX is also available as a hybrid, but don’t expect any kind of show-stopping performance. Rated at just 194hp, the heavier NX 300h hybrid might be outclassed by just-as-thrifty diesel options in the market. The price of the NX 200T has not been set but if you look at the Audi Q5 as a target, expect the price to start at roughly $41,000 when it goes on sale at the end of 2014. Fuel economy has also not been set but with a direct injection turbocharged 4-cylinder under the hood, this new Lexus should be better on fuel than the larger RX350 equipped with a V6 engine. As the small SUV market continues to grow, and this new NX certainly is one of the most eye-catching to come along in a while.

Safety Tip: There are some quick safety checks you can make on your vehicle to protect yourself and your passengers. For starters, make sure the head restraints are at least level with the top of the head and as close as possible to the back of the head to help prevent injury.

Obituaries and Memorials

In Loving Memory

July 25, 1927 - June 30, 2014 The family of Erhart Koch is saddened to announce that he passed away quietly in Talarico Place on June 30, 2014, at the age of 86 years. He was born just up the lake in Renata, BC on July 25, 1927, loved this area and chose to make this his home for his whole life. In 1947, he moved from Renata to Castlegar, became employed at Cominco in Trail as a millwright and vibration analyst and remained there until his retirement in 1991 after 44 years of service.

October 9, 1928 - June 23, 2014

Sadly the family, of Elsie Elizabeth Hiebert of Castlegar, wishes to announce her peaceful passing at Castleview Care Centre on Monday, June 23, 2014, blessed with 85 years of life. Elsie was born in Edmonton, Alberta on October 9, 1928, the youngest of 4 children, to parents Nellie and John Bailey. In 1941, the family moved to Vancouver, where Elsie started her working career at Eatons. In 1948, she married the love of her life, Dave Hiebert and the young couple moved to Ocean Falls, where they raised three children and in 1961 they moved to Castlegar.

In 1971 Erhart married Rose Tyrrell and became the loving stepfather to 5 young children. In addition to his employment at “Cominco” he and his wife opened a gift shop in Castlegar, “Rose’s Boutique” and it was a big part of the family’s life until Rose’s illness and death in 1993. After a few years of quiet retirement, he married Julie Fry and added 4 more stepchildren to his family.

Over the years, Elsie was very active in the community. She served on the Handicapped Society and volunteered at Castleview Care Centre, the Arthritis Society, the Senior Citizens, the Brownies, the Women’s Auxilliary and the Workers’ Institute and worked as chief cook for 50 years at the Sanka Camp near Creston. Elsie also contributed to the Castlewood Book Club. One of her many hobbies was handicrafts that she would sell at the local fairs, especially Christmas wreaths made with locally found pine cones.

Erhart was a quiet, thoughtful, loving man. He was dedicated to his faith and a lifelong member of the Lutheran church. He was always happily available and capable whenever and for whatever reason to help his family, friends and the Church. Erhart was predeceased by all of his siblings, Melita (Bill) Fromson, Clara (Bill) Hale, Freda, Art (Mary) Koch, and Laura; his first wife; Rose and grandson, Julien Erhart. He leaves to mourn his passing his wife; Julie, his children; Fawn (Bernie) Kosiancic, Sherri (Calvin) McCulloch, Kellie Tyrrell, Brent & Brenda Tyrrell, Allan (Lenka) Fry, Wayne (Sarah) Fry, Lynn (Tony) DaRosa and Penny (Darren) Cameron. Also his 23 grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren, 3 nephews, Doug (Shirley) Fromson, Fred (Akiko) Koch, Bill (Nesta) Hale and 1 niece Alvina (Rick) Koch Smith.

Elsie was known for her delicious pastries, desserts and pies that she so freely gave to family, friends and even strangers. After her children had grown up, she took up Nursing and worked at the Castlegar and District Hospital for 20 years. Elsie was predeceased by her loving husband Dave, her daughter Karen Stevenson and her siblings. Left to mourn her loss are her two sons Greg and John, daughter-in-law Barb Hiebert, her son-in-law Don Stevenson, her five grandchildren, her seven greatgrandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Services for Erhart were held in the Lutheran Church in Castlegar on July 8, 2014. Our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Vasil for her kind and patient attention to his needs and to the staff of KBH in Trail and Talarico Place in Castlegar for your kindness and gentle care.

Cremation has taken place in care of Castlegar Funeral Chapel.

Funeral arrangement were entrusted to Bill Strilaeff of the Castlegar Funeral Chapel. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Erhart’s memory to the Canadian Cancer Society, Castlegar Unit, Box 3292, Castlegar, BC, V1N 3H6

There is no funeral by request and in lieu of flowers, donations in Elsie’s memory to the Multiple Sclerosis Society would be appreciated.

Elsie Elizabeth Hiebert

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of a dear husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather Nick William Barisenkoff, a long-time resident of Ootischenia, BC, at the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital at the age of 82. Nick was born in Brilliant, BC on September17, 1931to William and Polly Barisenkoff. In 1955, he married Kathleen Chernoff of Winlaw, BC and together they raised four daughters. Nick was an active member of the USCC and took pride in supporting Ootischenia community events. Nick started his working career at the Co-op in Brilliant, BC followed by employment at the Waldie Sawmill, which resulted in 42 years of Celgar employment. There he mastered his skills of lumber grading and heavy equipment operations.

He is survived by his wife of 59 years Kathleen; daughters Leona (Charles) Pereversoff, Sandra Joanne Postnikoff, Venerie (John) Shkuratoff and Nicol Barisenkoff (Rollie Brown); 9 grandchildren; 5 great-grandchildren; brother Peter (Mari-anne) Barisenkoff; sister Katie (Bill) Maloff and numerous nieces and nephews. Nick was predeceased by his parents. Funeral Services were officiated by Michael Davidoff at the Ootischenia Community Hall on July 2, 2014 followed by interment in the Ootischenia Cemetery. Funeral arrangements were in care of Castlegar Funeral Chapel. The family would like to thank Bill Strilaeff of Castlegar Funeral Chapel for his caring and professional services, all the medical staff at the Castlegar and Trail Hospitals, family, friends and neighbours for their generosity and support.

“MAY HE REST IN PEACE.”

JAYDON CHRISTOPHER JAMES OSACHOFF ( ‘LIL’ O ) July 26 1996 to June 28 2014 It is with Great sadness to announce the sudden passing of Jaydon Osachoff on Saturday June 28, 2014. Jaydon was born in Trail July 26 1996 with a big smile which was always there for everyone to see. He spent most of his life in Castlegar. Jaydon loved to make people happy. He had this natural way about him to be able to help anyone he met in his own way of understanding and compassion. Jay always would say ‘Love ya’ when he would leave your company. His passion was speed on anything he rode, even his small Go carts at his dad’s work when he was little. Dirt biking was his favourite sport and he excelled in that activity. He also enjoyed snowmobiling, his seadoo, snowboarding and anything outdoors, and would scare the pants off you when he would jump off the cliff at Deer Park into the lake. He loved the lake and spent most of his time in Deer Park dirt biking with his buddies. Jaydon will be extremely missed by his family and friends, and we all have our special memories of him to keep in our hearts. He is now reunited with Jet his big black dog, and we know that God will make a dirt bike trail especially for Jay to keep having fun in Heaven as he did here. Love you Lil O. Special thank you to all of his friends who have come by to share their feelings, Facebook comments, Constable David Hallmark from the RCMP and his wonderful caring support to the family, Castlegar Funeral home for their respect and special arrangements, his cousins Ashley and Falyn who loved him so dearly and have helped with his memorial. In lieu of flowers, donations to the BC Fish and Wildlife Box 9391 Stn. Prov Government Victoria BC V8W9MB.

Athletes all set for Special Olympics Trail Times

Special Olympics Trail is sending a strong group of athletes to compete in the 2014 Canadian Special Olympics Canada Summer Games at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver July 8-12. Trail’s Sherry Altrogge and coach Colin Berdusco will be joining the Team BC’s swimming contingent, while Neil Emery and Bob Lattanzio with coach Alan Prough

will compete in Bocce, and Al Cummings from Castlegar with coach Ben Postmus will tee off against Canada’s best Special Olympic golfers at the UBC course. Altrogge led the Kootenay Zone at the B.C. Summer Games last July swimming to five gold medals and a silver and wants to dedicate these Games to her Aunt Cecille Rupert (nee Boilard) who passed away in April after a four year battle with cancer.

Castlegar’s Al Cummings is pictured on the right, along with others mentioned in the story who appear in no particular order.

Emery and Lattanzio were also golden at the B.C. Games winning in the team Bocce event, while Cummings picked up a silver in golf, just

missing the gold by one stroke. For Emery this will be his second national championship having competed in Edmonton in 1989 in floor hockey.

Jeff Ashton has headed to Nanaimo for the BC Summer Games and he’s understandably excited. He’s the only Castlegar golfer taking part although he does have West Kootenay area company in the form of teammates from Salmo, Christina Lake and Nakusp. “This is the first time I’ve been in a B.C. golf event so it should be pretty fun,” said Ashton on July 7. The Nanaimo games hold an added allure for the young athlete as he’s not been to the

Island before. The 16 year-old has been working on his golf game since the age of nine: he comes by the passion honestly as his family contains many who love the game. “I’ve played quite a few junior circuit tournaments and high school tournaments,” Ashton is off to the BC Summer Games is his strongest asset on the he outlined after being asked about his biggest golf course, which is good because achievement to date, “and last the most action occurs on and year our high school (Ross- near the greens.

“Give the cold shoulder”

Meaning: A rude way of telling someone they aren’t welcome. History: Although giving someone the cold shoulder today is considered rude, it was actually regarded as a polite gesture in medieval England. After a feast, the host would let his guests know it was time to leave by giving them a cold piece of meat from the shoulder of beef, mutton, or pork.

Discovering conclusive proof of love

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8

Many years ago when my wife of 25 years and I were dating she asked me a unique question; “What is your favourite verse in the Bible?” I had never considered the idea of a “favourite” verse before. The Bible contains so many verses that have blessed my heart through the years. I have read the Bible daily since I was saved at the age of 18. Although I have read it through many times, a day does not go by without some phrase or passage being a source of joy, encouragement or enlightening discovery. I only thought upon her question for a minute or two and said, Romans 5:8. Why did I choose Romans 5:8? Well, I guess because it

has never ceased to amaze and thrill my heart that God would love me. Consider for a moment the statement made in this verse. First, the word translated “commendeth” in the King James Bible has the idea of “introduce” or “exhibit.” We could even use the word “demonstrated.” In other words, God displayed how much He loved us when He became a man in the person of Jesus Christ and died upon the cross for us. Wow! Can you imagine God, who is eternal, who is the holy sovereign ruler of heaven and earth, dwelling in all of the splendours of heaven coming down to this dusty old earth and dying for you on a wooden cross? Why did He need to do this you ask? In short, to meet the just demands of God’s judgment against your sins, freeing you from having to pay for

Bible Truths Pastor Tom Kline, Castlegar Baptist Church

them in eternal hell. So, your debt that you owed to Him, He paid for you. Surely, that is proof of His love. To stop there, however, is to miss the full weight of this verse. The centre phrase, “while we were yet sinners” is very significant to understanding how much God loves us. People say, “It doesn’t matter what I do as long as I’m not hurting anyone.” Yet, they are forgetting the One who is most

hurt by their sin! Sin is first and foremost an offense to God. What if someone you repeatedly and willfully offended; someone whose name you mocked and turned your back on continually; what if they were the one who showed the greatest act of love anyone ever did for you? Multiply that a thousand times and you begin to understand how God loves you in spite of your sinfulness. The question is, will you receive His love or go on denying it and rejecting His forgiveness? If you would like to understand more about how to respond to His great love and receive His forgiveness you can contact me at Castlegar Baptist Church.
