Taste of the Kootenays The mouth watering event is back! Taste of The Kootenays has returned and with a more flavourful twist: what was once a showcase of local cuisine is now a showcase of regional Kootenay cuisine along with that of Chamber of Commerce business members. “This extremely popular event started many years ago as a Rossland Resort Association fundraiser and was called ‘Taste Around Town.’ It featured amazing local restaurants and specials, but the options were dine-in only. In 2009 we changed the event format and grew into the Taste of Rossland by moving to a larger venue and becoming a tasting, sipping and mingling event,” explains Julie Parker, Taste event planner and the executive director at the Rossland Chamber of Commerce. “This year we are reaching for the stars and inviting not only our food and beverage Rossland Chamber business members, but regional food and beverage businesses as well. We are also partnering with Golden City Days to make this event a fantastic finale to the weekend long celebrations in town September 5, 6 and 7.” This wildly popular event gives people the opportunity to experience “small bites” of food from a variety of restaurants, pubs, cafes and local wine and beer makers who will be offering the finest tastings off their menus. “It’s a lot of fun to attend and mingle, sip, slurp and bite your way through the room. Our Rossland Chamber event has become more and more popular each year since 2009, with other communities and groups asking us for tips to do their own Taste events. The best part for me is to see people come through the room and realize there’s so much more left to try and then go back for another lap,” Parker describes. This year’s event will be on the last day of the Golden City Days Event in Rossland, Sunday Septem-
AM
ber 7 from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 pm. at the Prestige Mountain Resort in Rossland. The space has been booked to accommodate more vendors and a greater number of people. As well, live music will be performed and there will be door prizes. The Grande Finale Golden City Days Basket Draw will also be held at Taste. The family friendly event will no doubt be a hit with an admission of $5 for adults and $2 for ages 12 and under. Food and beverage tokens will be $1 each with most bites or sips costing between 1-3 tokens each. For up to date information, please visit www.rossland.com or find us on Facebook.

Vandals strike a local nerve The B.C. Day long weekend brought frustration and dismay to Rossland. The Veteran’s Cenotaph was sheared off and broken by vandals. It lay toppled next to the granite base as people walked by on Sunday morning. John Snelgrove, of the Alpine Grind, commented on a popular social media website, “ Are you kidding me?! Why? The cenotaph was pushed over sometime last night.” Rossland city work crews responded quickly to the damaged cenotaph and the repairs are well on their way. Although it is standing tall again, people will continue to ask why for a long time. Catherine Bjegovich commented, “Rossland has an incredible attendance at the cenotaph every Veteran’s Day. I think this year may carry a bit more significance to what it really means.” Left: Vandals have toppled over the monument.
Conservative Party members in the new riding of South Okanagan West Kootenay have elected Marshall Neufeld as their candidate for the next federal election. The ballots were counted Saturday evening, July 26, and Neufeld won with 88 per cent of the votes. With widespread support and endorsements from Jim Gouk and Stockwell Day, the results were not a surprise. Mr. Neufeld stated, “I am incredibly honoured with the response I got from the membership from the entire riding. We had an incredible turnout especially considering it is the middle of summer.” Marshall Neufeld currently works as a real estate agent in Penticton where he was born and raised. He also
has family connections in the West Kootenays with close relatives in Trout Creek and Castlegar. At age 32, Marshall Neufeld is younger than your average politician, but he is not without experience. He was encouraged to enter politics by Stockwell Day and worked as Day’s Senior Parlimentary Assistant in Ottawa. He has worked for the Conservative party on behalf of other candidates in previous elections and was elected to represent B.C. on the National Council of the Conservative Party. Neufeld has also served as the president of the local Conservative riding association. His leadership history also includes volunteering, fundraising, Vice Chair of the Penticton Christian School Board, work with the Good Samaritan Society and serving on the Board of
the Penticton Church of the Nazarene. In response to the question of how he will stay in touch with the rural areas of the riding outside of Penticton, Mr. Neufeld replied, “I see this riding as having two main population centres and whoever the MP is going to be has to see it as almost doing double duty. You are going to have to work incredibly hard to make sure that the populations of both halves of the riding are feeling that they have complete access to their Member of Parliament and that they are being heard. For my part, I am going to make that a priority. If I am successful, I will have both an office in the Okanagan and one in the West Kootenays.” When asked how electing a Conservative would benefit Castlegar Mr. Neufeld

Pet of the Week
Pinto is a pretty brown and white female rat around 1 year old. She was found abandoned in an apartment and brought to the Trail Regional BCSPCA on May 24, 2014. Pinto is very neat and smart. She uses the litter box and loves to be handled, especially when she gets to sit on your shoulder. She is a great alternative to guardians who want to have a pet, but live in a small apartment. Pinto lives in a cage with her sister Sterling, and while she would be happy to be adopted with Sterling, she would be fine on her own as well. Come to the Trail BCSPCA meet Pinto, or contact the shelter at 250-368-5910 or trail@spca.bc.ca

Our view
B.C.’s forest fire bills piling up The B.C. government is spending $3.5 million a day to fight forest fires around the province, with the total for the year past $106 million and headed higher. The government is bracing for bills that could reach $250 million by the end of the summer, depending on weather and the number of fires that threaten homes. B.C. has brought in firefighters from Ontario, Alberta and New Brunswick, and issued several evacuation orders by the mid-point of the summer season. Finance Minister Mike de Jong asked for B.C. residents to take all possible precautions and observe campfire bans through August. About 40 per cent of B.C. forest fires are of human origin, with most of the rest started by lightning strikes. Forest fire spending is already approaching totals for the last two years. Highs in the past decade are $382 million in 2009 and $371 million in 2003, when fires damaged Kelowna and Barriere. “The possibility of the fire season consuming a quarter billion tax dollars is real,” de Jong said. “Whilst there is no issue about spending the money, it has to come from somewhere, so that’s a cost item that’s looking like it will be considerably more than what had been hoped for.”

Silverton-area fire grows
A forest fire burning about 8.5 kilometersw east of Silverton has grown to almost 100 hectares, although it is not threatening the community. Southeast Fire Centre information officer Jordan Turner said the fire near Fennell Creek is “quite a bit bigger” than yesterday, when it was reported at seven hectares. Crews retreated due to steep, remote terrain, but a 10-member unit crew is now tackling it. It is also being fought from the air with bucketing helicopters. The smoke is visible from Idaho Peak. • The Clearwater Creek fire at the base of Ymir Mountain, just outside the Whitewater ski area, is now fully
contained. It burned more than 17 hectares. • A series of small new fires have been sparked by lightning in the Slocan Valley. Two strikes started fires on Perry Ridge, where initial attack crews have been dispatched. Another is lower down on the west side of the ridge, closer to the Little Slocan forest service road. All three fires are less than a hectare and are being fought by helicopters picking up water from the Slocan River. The same lightning system is believed to have sparked two other fires further back of less than a hectare each, one at the base of Mt. Rinda and another at the base of Mt. Heimdal.

“We’re expecting more of these holdover fires that we’ll notice after a day or two of air patrols or calls from public,” Turner said. “They’re smouldering right now and won’t put up a column of smoke until we have more hot, dry weather.” • There has been no change on three fires up the Woodbury Creek drainage just outside Kokanee Glacier Provincial
Park. The largest was reported at nine hectares, while the other two were just over one hectare apiece. To report a wildfire, call 1-800-663-5555 or *5555 on your cell. Campfire ban Meanwhile, campfires will be banned throughout the Southeast Fire Centre effective Tuesday at noon. That’s in addition to an open burning prohibition implemented
July 2. The ban includes campfires, the burning of waste or slash, grass fires of any size, the use of burning barrels of any size, the use of fireworks, sky lanterns, tiki torches, or outdoor fire pits. It does not apply to cook stoves so long as the flame height is less than 15 cm. Anyone found in violation of the ban may face a $345 fine.

Teachers strike update NEW PROPOSALS COMING IN TEACHER TALKS TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Negotiators for the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and school districts are meeting Friday for the first time since schools were shuttered by a strike in late June, and Education Minister Peter Fassbender expects new proposals from both sides. Fassbender said Tuesday it is the first meeting of full bargaining teams in more than a month, and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association has some “new concepts” to bring to the discussion. “We’ve already demonstrated our willingness to move on some key elements,” he said. “We need to see the same from the BCTF.
They’ve indicated they’re willing to do that.” He wouldn’t comment on the new proposals, except to reiterate that the BCTF’s position on benefits and other compensation is not in the “affordability zone” established by other public sector union agreements. If the strike shuts schools again in September, the government plans to use the savings to compensate parents with $40 a day for each child under 13 in public school to assist with daycare or tutoring costs. Fassbender said there would be no conditions attached to the payout. “My hope is that there isn’t a nickel available as of September, because
schools are operating, teachers are back in the classroom, students are there and there is no further disruption,” he said.
We’ve already demonstrated our willingness to move on some key elements

The B.C. School Trustees’ Association has urged the government to direct its $12 million a day in payroll savings from the strike to a fund to address class size and special needs support. Trustees have also called on the union to moderate its benefit

employees and contractor partners have exemplified this value on the project, which was completed with zero lost time injuries,” said Greg Belland, General Manager, Teck Trail Operations. “The environmental
and operational improvements that this new plant provides will support the longterm viability of Trail Operations.” The No. 1 Acid Plant replaces two older plants on the zinc processing side of the operation.
CONTINUE TO Slocan Park wildfire: CREWS BATTLE BLAZE The RDCK is asking residents in the vicinity of the Slocan Park wildfire to remain on evacuation alert as a precautionary measure as the Southeast Fire Centre continues to fight
the 120 hectare blaze. “The fire is moving away from the community and fire guards have been constructed to protect homes and infrastructure,” said Terry Swan, the RDCK’s

The Rubberhead Enduro was a success last weekend and Ryan Kuhn and the other organizers agree that it was one of the best yet. Local rider Michael Hopkins won the men’s pro/elite class. “I wouldn’t hesitate signing up for the Rubberhead Enduro again,” he says. Hopkins explains that the first part of the course pumped and flowed, the second was quick and technical while the third was rowdy, loose and sketchy. “(It was) a little bit of everything—a perfect way to end the course.” Riding in his hometown was a great experience since he’s mostly on the road for work and is rarely spotted riding in the Rossland area. Kuhn was very happy with how things turned out. “The weekend went extremely well,” he comments. They had a turnout of about 115 riders, 17 of which were women. Kuhn explains that the high number of female participants is unusual for similar events and that the local women were very impressive. Riders who have participated in other enduro events told Kuhn that

the Rossland course was their favourite. “People who came into Rossland for the race—many for their first time—were blown away by the amazing trails and community.” Kuhn himself placed second in the masters category and shares, “I’m pretty
stoked about that.” However he was a little disappointed that rival Rich Marshall beat him by only a second. Megan Rose, The B.C. Enduro Series Director, was one of the people who made the race happen. She won the women’s category, while Evan Wall
won the U19 men’s category. Both Hopkins and Kuhn say that Rose and the volunteers did a great job with the course and the event in general. “I can’t thank Red Mountain Resort enough,” he adds. Hopkins also appreciated the support
from all the people on the deck at the base of Red Mountain. “People were properly fired up when they realized who I was,” says Hopkins about riding down the trails. Kuhn promises an even bigger and better Rubberhead Enduro for next summer.

Local brews to kill the summer heat josefin Svedberg Rossland News
The doors of Rossland Brewing Company have been opened to the public; a muchanticipated event. Manager Petri Raito explains, “Before the opening we couldn’t close the garage door fully and the normal door was locked. It was 40 degrees inside and people would still crawl under the two foot opening beneath the door to ask for beer.” Raito says that the people in Rossland have been amazing. “There’s a good local vibe,” he adds. People repeatedly tell him that a brewery is just what Rossland needs. Both he
and his brewing partner, Ryan Arnaud used to run a brewery in Trail but had always looked toward Rossland. “We live up here,” says Raito. It has been a bit of a long haul for Raito and Arnaud because of problems with the building, and so they are rightly excited to be open. Though they’re up and running, more features are to be added and the brewery will continue to grow in the upcoming months. However, they already have taps and glasses for beer tasting and growlers for sale. If you have an old growler at home you can also bring it in to be filled. The brewery has already had
a steady stream of customers during open hours. Currently, Rossland Beer Company serves an IPA as well as a pale ale that is bitter and citrusy, just right for the summer and a must try for anyone who enjoys beer. The grand opening is still a few months away, but by then they expect to be better organised and have even more beers to serve. The Rossland Beer Company can be found at 1990-A Columbia Avenue in Rossland. To find out more about what they serve and their hours of operation visit www.rosslandbeer.com or find them on Facebook or Twitter.
RCAC’s new administrator ready for action Kate Harrison Whiteside Rossland News
Are you involved in the community? Enjoy writing? Have your own camera? We would love to hear from you. Please contact Jennifer at publisher@castlegarnews.com
Rossland Council for Arts and Culture (RCAC) is preparing to tackle the upcoming busy season with its new Program Administrator Tara Kowalchuk ready for action. Tara, a native of Rossland, has a diploma in Recreation, Tourism and Community Development, from Red Deer College and a degree in Recreation Management from Melbourne, Australia’s Victoria University. “I was inspired to apply because it was a good opportunity to work with the community,” said Kowalchuk, “and I think the Arts Council does great things. What they bring to the community, the amount of events and the quality of
performances, makes Rossland a neat place to live. For such a small town, it’s quite incredible.” Tara’s current energy is focused on grant writing to meet upcoming deadlines for applications and event promotions. “We are working on getting grants for our performance series to get it started,” said Kowalchuk. “We want to make sure the Arts Council news gets out, so people can make their plans and get their tickets.” The first performance is Tillers Folly, an acoustic roots band, on October 4. “We are putting this performance on as a dance,” said Kowachuk,” which will be a fundraiser for the Miners Hall attic upgrades.” The RCAC is planning four
performance events—this October and November, then February and April 2015. “We are really pleased to have Tara,” said Renate Fleming, RCAC President. “She’s very competent and professional.” “We are looking forward to the bear sculptures, by John McKinnon of Nelson, coming to Rossland,” said Fleming. “This is going to be very exciting, and we are planning an unveiling event to celebrate.” “I am doing a post-a-day called ‘Daily Dose of Culture’ on our Facebook Page,” said Kowalchuk. “It’s a quick little post about arts and culture happenings.” Visit the RCAC’s new website at rosslandartscouncil. com or their Facebook page to find out more.

A conscientious group of Rosslanders has succeeded in bringing greater order to a local cemetery. The seven-member Heritage Commission has turned in a large and lengthy effort for the benefit of those whose remains are interred at the resting place, as well as the relatives and descendants who continue to arrive at the facility from all points of the globe to pay their respects. Committee spokesperson Jackie Drysdale and her colleagues have obviously treated the task with the reverence and diligence it deserves. She spoke with the Rossland News on August 5, supplying fascinating historical information on the updated cataloguing and restoration of the Columbia Cemetery which was created in 1899 and officially ‘decommissioned’ in 1985. “It certainly is a point of interest for people who are coming back to this area to discover their roots,” she began. “We’ve done exhaustive research.” The Columbia Cemetery had been the newest of several such sites in the Rossland area around the turn of the last century. “For development reasons the City of Rossland decided it needed to create a new cemetery and bought 80 acres from the Corbin, Nelson and Fort Sheppard Railway Co. decorator They set aside 10 acres for the ‘Columbia’ cemetery. The first remains were put in during
antiques, collectables and vintage treasures
1899,” Drysdale explained, The cemetery had been designed by a man named Smith, according to the chair, who had also prepared the design for the City of Greenwood. It was laid out in a series of blocks, which each contained a number of plots. The grid was a radiating one, with no straight lines, making it a bit confusing to try and make sense of many years later. Even though serious effort was devoted to keeping track of who was buried where, over the course of time and circumstance the records reflecting the contents of the Columbia Cemetery somewhere veered off course. The Columbia began to show signs of neglect, apparently, during the 1930s. Another part of it, as commission chair Drysdale explained, related to the transferral of many remains, something she learned of by studying city council meeting minutes of the day. It was apparently part of urban redesign and involved another burial property. “It would appear that one of the reasons why they wanted to move the Laurel Hill Cemetery (which was between Third and Fourth Avenues) was because they wanted to construct Fourth Avenue as the access out to the mining on Kootenay/Columbia Mountain,” she explained. The other facilities were Sunnyside Cemetery, according to Drysdale, and a Catholic facility as well. It’s been a painstaking pro-
cedure to get a realistic grasp of the situation at the Columbia Cemetery for numerous reasons. Differing criteria for burial permits was one of those reasons. In 1915, for example, information required for permits had changed significantly.
Hart Hall - 501 Carbonate St., Nelson, BC It certainly is a point of interest for people who are coming back to this area to discover their roots After four years of work the Heritage Commission feels it has a much better handle on the Columbia Cemetery. But there are many details of identification that, pardon the expression, have literally been taken to the grave. “It’s very safe to say there are over 1,000 remains in the Columbia Cemetery,” says Drysdale, offering a hint at how involved the conservation and restoration has been. That’s roughly 100 more than there are confirmed identities for. As far as restoration, at least 65 monuments have been refurbished along with much grooming of the grounds. This has only been part of the story. Check with the Rossland Historical Museum for written materials on the topic, and ask about the late September Cemetery Tour if you’re interested.

Van Iersel, Peter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; of Trail passed away on July 28, 2014 in Trail. Peter was born on January 20, 1933 in sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hertogenbosh, Holland. A man who lived a full life passed away peacefully, with dignity in the arms of his beloved wife Ines. He was a father, husband, brother, friend and co-worker: and he was important to many people during his lifetime. He will be greatly missed both here in Canada and in Holland. He was an intelligent, cultured man who enjoyed literature, classical music, ja]], Ă&#x20AC;ne wine, good beer, healthy food, political discussions and philosophical conversation. He was quietly considerate of others: a loyal friend and he always lent a helping hand to those in need. Throughout his lifetime he remained active in soccer, skiing, hiking, camping and canoeing. He was active in his community and supported the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Seniors, was Treasurer for The United Steelworkers Organization of Retirees â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Chapter 12, and an active member of the Tuesday Morning â&#x20AC;&#x153;Old Geezerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clubâ&#x20AC;? where all the problems of the world were reviewed and solved. He was born in Holland and his childhood involved surviving the hardships of WWII. As a young man his spirit of adventure took him to Australia for several years and many other places. Then he emigrated to Canada. For years he was employed as a highly skilled Design Draftsman at Cominco/Teck. On the slopes of Red Mountain he met his beautiful wife Ines and fell in love with her Italian passion and Ă&#x20AC;re. She became his devoted, loyal life companion and they enjoyed 14 years of marriage. Ines loved and supported him to his end. Peter was predeceased by his mother Catharina Pagie, his father Antonius Van Iersel, and his brother Leo Van Iersel. He is survived by his wife Ines Van Iersel, his sons Philip and Eric (Janet) Van Iersel, two grandchildren Henry and George. Inesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children Stefania (Mike, Chantal and Danielle) Ottosen, Archie (Michele and Isla Vingo, his three siblings Steen (Harrie) Van den Broek, Toos Van Iersel Lodewijks, Ton Van Iersel, several nieces and nephews. A Memorial Service will be held on August 9, 2014 at 11:00 am at the Fruitvale Memorial Hall. Everyone is invited to attend and share memories of Peter. Al Grywacheski of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Servicesâ&#x201E;˘ has been entrusted with arrangements. As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made in Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name to the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital Health Foundation (Renal Unit) at 1200 Hospital Bench Road, Trail, BC, V1R 4M1 or online at www.kbrhhealthfoundation.ca You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online register at www.myalternatives.ca.

A night of naughty knickers Get tickeTs for a sassy and steamy saturday night by josefin Svedberg Rossland News
Be sure to grab your tickets soon for the Naughty Knickers Night on Sunday, August 10. This Gold Fever Follies special performance night will surely sell out! John Han, theatre manager, music director and member of the cast is, and rightly so, excited to showcase the new
cast. He promises it will be a magical night. The first act is a bubbly and sexy summer number, then afterwards they will perform an improvised parody of their own show, “Off the Rails”; hilarious to watch for every Gold Fever Follies fan. Tickets can be bought at the Miners Hall, Café Books and from Han himself. No tickets will be sold at the door so be
sure to snatch one beforehand. Han and the cast are grateful for its amazing audience in Rossland and the local community. The Gold Fever Follies is the grand summer event in Rossland and the Naughty Knickers Night is when the it reaches its climax. It will be a show to remember with dancers that are flirty, fun and great burlesque performers.
