Election: who’s in, and why? JIM SINCLAIR Castlegar News

All official documents regarding who will run in the November 15 municipal and school district elections had not all been filed as of press deadline. This installment initiates the Castlegar City Council’s side of the story. Look for information on newcomers to the race, and school district hopefuls as well in forthcoming editions. Five of the six members of the current council will run, Gord Turner being the exception. The

story of his decision appears elsewhere in this issue. In alphabetical order, here are the councillors with comments as solicited on September 29. Each was asked to describe their high and low points from the concluding term, and what their inspiration was for running for the next term. Kevin Chernoff, member of council since 2005. “The high point would be the splash park (Millennium Ponds at Millennium Park); it’s one of the biggest as far as what the community sees,” said Chernoff.

“Another high point, not as much seen or praised, would be our five-year things like our asphalt plan — roads (resurfacing) scheduled every year so we don’t have to decide on a whim that this is a road that needs to be done. “We’ve been trying to keep it as a five year plan we revisit every year. It’s actually made it pretty easy for the public works guys to plan for.” On the negative side, Councillor Chernoff mentioned another civic project. “The only thing I can see is the lights on the bridge (Kinnaird overpass). As a council member, for the

money (about $45,000) we spent, I kind of expected more. That’s the only one that kind of nags at me.” Chernoff said the decision to go for re-election was not easy. “It’s not just me; it affects my wife and kids,” he said before stating, “I like the way Castlegar has grown. I’ve had some people suggest that the City should look after nothing but roads and sewers. There’s much more to a community than that, because if people don’t want to live here you don’t need roads and sewers.”

Practical, tangible, local - Love in Motion JIM SINCLAIR Castlegar News

Taking good intentions and doing something with them, right away, is the concept behind the movement called Love in Motion. Castlegar is home to a fledgling enterprise known as Discreet Care, spawned by Love in Motion BC, part of a growing effort devoted to helping local people. This is described as a non-profit arrangement, by the way, with money raised sunk right back into the future sustainability of the program. Discreet Care, in its own words, “… is a organization that started up based upon the significant need for ostomy, compression and wound care in the Kootenays. Our goal is to serve our community’s needs in the best beneficial way possible.”

Nine-year Castlegar resident James McFaddin is one of a half dozen directors of the enterprise, and spoke to the Castlegar News about the program on September 30 from leased space in the lower floor of the New Life Church on Seventh Avenue. “We finished getting the society incorporation set up about two months ago,” said McFaddin. “At the beginning of September we launched Discreet Care, which is a business offering wound-care, ostomy and compression care services.” The spokesman then responded to a question of how those services were decided upon. “A few of our directors with Love in Motion are involved in the medical field. We saw a need for proper fitting and proper education for folks who are dealing with wearing compression socks, wearing an ostomy bag, and

whatnot. And there’s a bit of a gap in some of the things being provided… with fitting and aftercare… something that’s going to feel right on their body.” McFaddin noted the sensitive nature of this kind of topic, thus the use of “Discreet” in the name of the service. “A lot of the time people will just kind of settle,” he said, “instead of settling for the best option for them, because it’s an uncomfortable thing to talk about.” For a start-up effort McFaddin is pleased by the way things are going. He says one of the directors made a recent presentation to a group made up of Interior Health Authority personnel, “…talking about compression therapy and it’s benefits.” For online information on this new initiative, visit limbc.ca.

The Robson Community Choir is looking for new members!

Councillor moves to adjourn JIM SINCLAIR Castlegar News

Citing many years of community service along with the desire to improve his golf game, Councillor Gord Turner has decided to let his involvement with Castlegar City Council end with the current term. Gord Turner has more plans for his time than what he can put in on the golf links; gardening and travel are two of them, as he told the Castlegar News on September 25. He said he also wants to continue with his bi-weekly column in this newspaper. Gord enjoyed a 32-year career as a Selkirk College professor, retiring in 2012. He has arrived at the time in his life where some more adjusting is in order. “I’ve been in politics now for 23 years, so I’m ready to retire,” he explained. “I’ve put in my time for the community, 14 years with city council and nine years with the school board.” Turner fully accepts the growing limitations that show up along with advancing years and he wants to manage his energy for the things he wants to do. Looking back, he’s gratified by what’s been accomplished by council.

“I’m quite proud of some of the things we’ve done. It’s worked together really well. We all talk to one another, we all socialize together, we agree to disagree, we get on with it and we have fun. It’s still fun at council, so I’d like to end at that point.”

The Robson Community Choir is a free group that has been around for 15 years. We sing mostly a cappela in a very relaxed atmosphere, with lots of fun and laughter. We are looking for new men and women to join our choir. No need to read music, just bring your love of singing. Meetings every Wednesday from 6:30pm to 8pm at the Robson Hall. If you would like to join our team, Contact Dawn @ 608-1466 for more info

A new city hall, the Chances Gaming Centre, Millennium Walkway and pools are some of the projects he listed in terms of achievement. He said he’s also happy with the relationship the city has built with the various local cultural groups. “We get along with them and they’re all functioning very well,” he mentioned.

“And all the awards we’ve been getting, including Communities in Bloom. I wasn’t out there planting flowers, but I was at the various meetings, part of getting things okayed, and look what happened.”

Gord Turner is satisfied with his contributions over the years, confident about the immediate future of Castlegar and eager to enjoy, with wife Alexia, full retirement and all the good things that come with it.

His worship upbeat at UBCM JIM SINCLAIR Castlegar News

Reached by phone in Whistler on Friday afternoon, Mayor Lawrence Chernoff had a few spare moments in which to relate some of his impressions of the concluding Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) conference. Spare moments had likely been in much shorter supply earlier in the week for the Castlegar mayor, what with a loaded schedule to keep up with including his duties on the BC Mayor’s Climate Leadership Council along

with mayors of Vancouver, North Vancouver (City and District) Victoria, Burns Lake and Colwood. Mayor Chernoff indicated the whole experience has been worthwhile for him. “It’s great to talk to ministers,” he said. “It’s great just to meet with people. Some of the sessions have been really well done. It’s great networking. We picked up a lot of good information.” The mayor responded to a comment relating to the volume of information dispensed at a forum such as

the UBCM convention, and how to process it. “You sift through it,” he simplified, driving home the point that the personal encounters are the main highlights. “It’s there, you get it live, and it’s face-to-face. That’s the biggest part of this thing.” The mayor was set to return to Castlegar the following afternoon. His detailed report on the conference will likely be included in the agenda of the regular council meeting scheduled for Monday, October 6.

School District 20 (SD 20) has given the Ministry of Education just over $1 million of the $1.3 million it saved when teachers were on the picket lines and students were at home at the end of the last school year. Back in June, school boards across the province were told to return 80 per cent of the money saved during strike days in the 2013-2014 school year — a topic on the agenda at Monday’s SD 20 board meeting. A large part of the meeting included a presentation of the 2013-2014 school year budget audit and showed significant savings because of the strike action. “We have our teacher savings from May and June and we had to send 80 per cent of it back to the ministry,” said Natalie Verigin, secretarytreasurer of the board, adding that $260,000 in teacher savings shown in their budget represented the 20 per cent of strike savings the board was allowed to keep. “Also, because of the strike, we had no replacements that were needed because we had no staff to replace. The unspent portion of the replacement budget was just over $115,000.” Teacher salaries and replacement costs weren’t the only place the board saved dollars. After paying back the Ministry of Education, the school district saved, and gets to keep, over $600,000 from last May and June, but a large chunk is being set aside in case it needs to get paid out in the future. “Of that $600,000, we have $250,000 set aside because we may have to end up paying it out,” said Verigin. “That money is saved up from not having to pay CUPE wages during the strike. That money may be flowed back out to CUPE depending on whether

we locally ratify our contract with them by the end of November. It is set aside as a $250,000 contingent liability.” For the days missed in the 2014-2015 school year because of the strike, school boards are being asked to return 100 per cent of savings from last month. In a letter dated September 12 from the Ministry of Education, all school districts were asked to give back teachers’ wages, benefits, replacement costs, utility and facility money along with transportation, professional development, travel and supply costs saved during the 13 strike days in September. The financial statements presented at the board meeting didn’t just cover the savings from the strike, but the budget for the entire 20132014 school year. The total surplus from the year amounted to $2.7 million, a number Verigin says is higher than the board is used to seeing. “Total revenues received were $35 million with total expenses at $33 million leaving an operating surplus of $1.87 million,” she said. “From that we deduct our capital expenditures, so we end up with an operating surplus of $1.3 million. Added to the surplus that we had prior, we have accumulated a surplus of $2.7 million. That is a large number and more than the board has had over the last few years.” Part of the reason for the large surplus, according to Verigin, are portions of money coming into the school board’s accounts not designated to a certain purpose in their annual budget. “In the 2013-2014 year, we had added revenues that didn’t make it into our budget and wasn’t allocated to any budget line item,” she said. “Some of this is a result of the release of the holdback fund from the Ministry of Education. We don’t ever account

for our money in that budget because we don’t know if the ministry will be releasing holdback monies. It is always a surprise. There have been years where the ministry has no holdback money left over after it had done allocation funding to other districts.”

We have our teacher savings from May and June and we had to send 80 per cent of it back to the ministry,

Along with holdback money, the board renegotiated rates with its banker to allow for higher interest rates and included carry-forward money in their announced surplus. “Every budget year, we allocate supply money to all of the schools depending on how many students are in that school,” said Verigin. “So, a school might get $200,000 a year and they have to run their school with that. If they choose to buy some iPads, they can set aside some money every year until they have enough money in reserves that they can make the purchase. If we had a budget mentality of, ‘here is your money and if you don’t spend it all, we are going to take it back.’ We feel that they would be spending it for the sake of spending it.” To see a full version of the SD 20 board’s 2013-2014 school year audit, visit www. sd20.bc.ca.

Province pledges e-cigarette controls

PLACE YOUR AD TODAY

250.365.6397

JEFF NAGEL Black Press

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

Health Minister Terry Lake says the province is prepared to regulate electronic cigarettes so their sale is governed by the same provincial restrictions as tobacco smoking. He was responding to a resolution adopted Friday at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention urging government action. While local government in Castlegar is aware of the increasing use of the high-tech “smokes”, it has not drawn up any legislation on it. “We haven’t had a chance to discuss it,” said Mayor Lawrence Chernoff on September 30. The mayor indicated the issue is “absolutely” on the city’s radar, “because it’s really becoming dominant out there... the colours and the flavours entice the kids.”

Notice is hereby given that a Public Hearing will be held in the Community Forum, 445 – 13th Avenue, Castlegar, B.C. on Monday, October 6th, 2014, at 6:30 p.m. to consider the following:

because it’s really become dominant out there. . . the colours and ﬂavours entice the kids. The growing trend of “vaping” with e-cigarettes instead of smoking has raised questions over product safety and concerns that years of antismoking gains could unravel if nicotine addiction rebounds. Lake said he’d prefer the federal government regulate the battery-powered vaporizers instead, but added the province will act within a year

ZONING AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 1203 Applicant:

City of Castlegar

Amendment:

a) To permit steps, eaves, canopies, sunlight control projections, porches and balconies to encroach 1.2 metres into the rear lot line setback area; b) To increase the minimum width of buffer strips from 1.8 metres to 2.0 metres; and c) To require all parking facilities adjacent to a road to be screened with a buffer strip or barrier screen.

.................................................................................................................................................................. Enquiries:

Health Minister Terry Lake says municipalities can establish their own bylaws concerning the use of e-cigarettes.

if Ottawa does not. The goal, he said, would be to ensure e-cigarettes face most of the same bans or restrictions that apply on regular ones under B.C.’s Tobacco Control Act, particularly the ban on sale of tobacco to minors and the rules on advertising and display. Lake wouldn’t yet say if the provincial ban on smoking in public buildings and workplaces, or within three metres of their doors and open windows, would also apply to vaping, but he noted cities can also pass their own bylaws to restrict use of ecigarettes. Provincial law also bans smoking on all school grounds and in vehicles carrying youth under 16. The City of Vancouver is considering extending its smoking bylaw to e-cigarettes and adding the word “vaporizing” to its no-smoking signs. Lake was expected to continue to press for a national solution this week at a conference of provincial health ministers and federal officials. Fraser Health Authority medical health officer Helena Swinkels supports strong regulation by both the province

and municipalities. “I am very concerned about e-cigarettes and their uptake among youth,” she said. “I am concerned whether they actually help people to stop smoking or prolong people’s use.” The B.C. Healthy Living Alliance argues the use of e-cigarettes to defy public smoking bans undermines a key deterrent to tobacco use. Swinkels agreed the potential “social renormalization” of the act of smoking is a concern in part because users can vape in places where they’re banned from smoking. She said the jury is out as to whether e-cigarettes are effective and safe smoking cessation aids, noting they are regulated as consumer products and have not undergone the approval process required for a medication. “There’s some evidence that people using these may end up smoking more,” Swinkels said. “There’s little oversight of what goes into them and we know some of the ingredients are respiratory irritants.” Nicotine isn’t authorized for sale in the flavoured “juice” for e-cigs, but it is readily available.

But all versions of the rule are likely to be simple enough to remember and easy to live by. There’s one rule followed by a young man in Rossland who mentioned it in an interview last spring. As he was growing up, the family rule that stuck with him was, “To leave something better than it was when you found it.” That’s just how Castlegar looks today, although not through anything specifically influenced by the departing editor of the Castlegar News. Would it be too brash for a three year resident to state that the place has never looked better? Okay, what about, “The place is looking pretty good?” A couple of programs have made incredible strides in a remarkably short time and, although they get their fair share of accolades, it’s not too much to give Sculpturewalk and Communities in Bloom some more kudos. And because there is such a good supply of kudos on hand, why not force some over to the Millennium Ponds? These kind of efforts just seem to encourage more and more positive momentum for the City. Of course it’s never all rosy, but it seems, thankfully, that another old saying, “one good turn deserves another,” is another sort of golden rule. It’s a snowball effect; a definite roll Castlegar appears to be on and it’s fun to watch it progress. As this is the last edition I’ll be involved in before tackling something different, I’m taking the opportunity to say thanks to everyone I’ve had the pleasure to meet and work with since July 2011.

Jim Sinclair We want to hear from you.

Spots in Time - Gord Turner

New York, New York

The “Big Apple” is not a city I ever wanted to visit. In fact, in some ways I was afraid of it. For years I’d read about the muggings of innocent travelers and the rude way New Yorkers treated outsiders. Our recent trip to New York proved me wrong in so many ways. I’d been told that everywhere you go in New York the crowds are impossible — masses of people. Not true! When we took the ferry over to the Statue of Liberty, the ferry was only partly filled. When we walked on the island looking up at the green statue heralding America, no one jostled us or got in our way. Our subsequent visit to Ellis Island to view the buildings where the immigrants were once registered before entering the United States was much the same. We were able to wander almost by ourselves through many rooms and examine photographs from Theresa Hodge Office Manager

the early 20th Century. Later, when we walked up through New York to the new 9-11 Museum — a magnificent tribute to the heroism and efforts of that time — we had no problem with crowds. I’d heard that travelers had to worry about being accosted by derelict characters who were after your money, possessions, or even you. On the three days we were actually in New York, nothing like that happened. We saw a few beggars, but we never saw any gangs, and we never really feared anything. I’d been told that New Yorkers were unfriendly, that they couldn’t care less about those visiting their city. Absolutely untrue! If we needed information, everyone we approached couldn’t do enough. In some instances, they would walk to a corner with us to point out where to go. No one was abrupt or distant, and most were approach-

able — police personnel in particular. On two different days, we took a bus from Fairlawn, New Jersey, to the Port Authority (bus depot) in New York. The bus was clean and modern with padded seats, and it only cost $5 for a return ticket. Arriving in the depot, we walked out into the sunshine of Eighth Avenue and then a few streets over found Broadway and soon were immersed in Times Square, which was busy, but not so that we had to worry about anything. We couldn’t find the discount ticket office, but two friendly policemen pointed us up toward 49th. Then, after standing in line and chatting with both vendors and ticket-buyers, we reached a wicket where the clerk was exceedingly helpful about our ticket needs. And the cost for a fairly decent Broadway show ticket was about onethird of what we would

have paid ahead of time. I’d heard stories about how New York taxi drivers ripped people off. Our experience revealed the lie in that statement. On our second day on our own in New York, we took a taxi from the Port Authority to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Fifth Avenue. It was quite a ways actually, but our driver didn’t overwhelm us with talk, and the fare was $12. After we spent several hours viewing mostly the Metropolitan’s impressionist collection, we took a taxi back to the Port Authority where we were to catch our bus. The taxi back cost us $12.20, and our driver was a pleasant individual. We could tell by the similarity of the prices that we were not being ripped off. Truly, during three full days in New York City, we were treated exceptionally well. If we had a chance to return, we would not hesitate. Chuck Bennett Publisher

Editor: Shoe is on the other foot, now Council’s anger at not being informed is exactly how taxpayers feel when kept uniformed by council. As is the case with the bike path detour. When Council considers a project that will impact significantly a specific residential area, it should be an obvious policy to send out a letter informing those homeowners affected. The politically sound action in the bike path proposal would have been to invite those residents

to a meeting with the City Planning/Transportation and CPR. Had the taxpayers of Riverside Crescent and Connors Road had such an opportunity to give their input, it is very likely a better location for the rail crossing could have been worked out to have less impact on anyone’s residence. As it is, one home has been drastically affected, in a way that no one would wish to see happen to their home. It is a sad, unnecessary situation, yet not one council member has

bothered to come take a look and see why it’s so bad. It’s bad because the rail crossing was not constructed where we were told it would be. The contractor’s heavy equipment was knocking down trees before any one from the City could come and check them. Before contractors start, there should be a responsible representative from the City on site to prevent such mistake, and again at the end to make sure work is completed satisfactorily.

of day it is, what the weather is, I see her out there. She may be digging, weeding, planting or watering with cans on the back of her truck and she can be found everywhere from one end of town to the other any day of the week. I realize that there are others who have also put in time

Bad mistakes were made on this project, which, had the taxpayers involved been kept informed and included, could have been avoided, and we would not be feeling this anger at Council. The only way to mitigate the damage would be to tear out the asphalt rail crossing and replace the lost trees. I have to say, regarding Council’s displeasure at not being informed by CPR, “Treat others as you would have others treat you.” Nesta E. Hale, Castlegar

but I want to recognize Darlene as the one who definitely works hard to get people motivated. Congratulations to the City for its award, which I think we really deserve, and to Darlene for being such a support. Sarah Tupholme, Castlegar

Who’s in, and why? continued from front page

Sue Heaton-Sherstobitoff, member of council since 2011. “There have been many high points; Millennium Park, Communities in Bloom is a high point, Sculpturewalk, keeping our taxation the lowest in the area. We’re trying to diversify our economy, and a high point was selling the land (over by the airport) to FortisBC. We’re trying to develop something that’s vibrant and sustainable.” On the less pleasing end, HeatonSherstobitoff mentioned the recycling issue involving Multi-Materials BC. “It’s been a sticking point with us,” she said. “We were so progressive and now we’re kind of going backwards.” The decision to seek re-election? “For me it wasn’t a tough decision because I’m just new,” said HeatonSherstobitoff. “Just three years, and it seemed like it took me a year to get up to speed. There are so many things that we as a council want to do, that we’re just in the midst of getting things done, or started. You want to kind of follow that through, see things come to fruition.” Deb McIntosh, member of council since 2002. “The high point has been the Millennium Ponds, for sure,” said McIntosh. That is just about family, is about bringing people to Castlegar. It’s absolutely as ‘mom’ and ‘apple pie’ as it can get. It’s just a beautiful thing. I think it’s really put us on the map, and we’ve now found our niche.” Looking back on the past three years, she noted a sore spot. “I think, for me, it was the process of

not being able to get us on a better nonpesticide use regime. I would like to see us work harder on that… come to a good balance with the families and sports people that use the parks.” Why run again? “I like what we’re doing,” she concluded. “I like the movement the City’s making. I like the way the community is starting to engage more, and wants to be in on everything.

That’s something that’ll leave a legacy in this community for years to come. It’s hard to top. I’ve been down there a couple of times and have seen, like, businesses from Nelson things like that. I’m thinking to myself, ‘We’re already bringing people here and it’s barely just opened.’” A low point in Rye’s opinion is the pace at which airport upgrades are taking place. “The wheels move very slowly with the federal government, Transport Canada and Nav Canada, and I’d like to see something happen faster.” Rye was talking about an updated, specialized mapping of the area and suitably equipping the airport as well as the aircraft that touch down and take off here. “Right now the Jazz planes that fly in here don’t have it, but some of the new (Bombardier) Q400s that (Air Canada) Jazz is flying do have it.” There is a continu-

Introducing our new advice columnist

Miss Sensibility

Dear Miss Sensibility, This is a hard thing for me to say. I think someone close to me is being abused by their significant other. It’s not like the abusee has bruises though. The abuser tends to be more verbal. Not yelling, but they do stuff like scolding or preventing the abusee from going to the bathroom so they can ‘talk’. I admit that this someone close to me can be difficult to be with, but I don’t think that pinching or slapping someone on the behind when they’re overreacting is okay. This is abuse, right? Should I bring it up to either or both of them? I don’t know what to do. I’m scared the abuse will someday escalate to include fists. -Third-party

Dear Third-party,

This situation you have described definitely makes it sound like your concerns are justified. Abuse can come in many forms, it can manifest itself in physical, emotional, psychological, sexual or verbal acts. According to the Domestic Abuse Project, “Abuse is defined as the systematic pattern of behaviours in a relationship that are used to gain and/or maintain power and control over another.” One definition of emotional abuse is: “any act including confinement, isolation, verbal assault, humiliation, intimidation, infantilization, or any other treatment which may diminish the sense of identity, dignity, and self-worth.” At the very least, this sounds like an unhealthy relationship and most likely is crossing lines into being abusive. As someone close to the situation who has observed these behaviours, you should share your concerns with your friend. Select a time and place where you can have privacy, and not be interrupted. Explain to her that you care about her and are concerned for her safety and well being. Be supportive and listen if she chooses to open up about the situation. Offer to help her in any way you can including finding a counsellor or domestic violence support worker. If you become aware of criminal behaviour, offer to go with her to see the police. However, anyone can report domestic violence to the police, the victim does not have to be the one to make the report. If you want more information, a good resource is www.domesticviolencebc.ca.

Silver King campus hosts community barbecue Selkirk College staff and students are inviting the community to join them for a celebration barbecue to mark five decades of quality trades training, career programs and community education at Nelson’s Silver King Campus. An education cornerstone in the region since 1964, the campus opened as the BC Vocational School with a vision of expanding training opportunities in Nelson and beyond. Over the last 50 years the trades programs have been the mainstay, but many other programs have been based out of the 35-acre campus including Nursing, Ski Resort Operations & Management (SROAM), Hairdressing and Esthetics, Professional Cooking, Adult Basic Education, the Kootenay School of the Arts (now known as Kootenay Studio Arts) and many more.

$10.00 Rebate on every 3.7L Can.

Offer Valid until Oct. 11th, 2014

611 Columbia Ave. Castlegar | 250.365.6214

Preventing gang activity in BC ▾ MYTH: The public is powerless against gangs. Reality: Be engaged and part of the solution. If you see something suspicious, whether it’s in a restaurant, mall parking lot, or in an isolated place, please phone 9-1-1 immediately so the police can investigate. Only with a community that cares and stands up to gangs and gang violence will we make a difference so our communities are safer.

The mission of Selkirk College is to inspire lifelong learning, “It’s incredible to think about how students have enhanced their lives through education on that campus over the last 50 years,” says Selkirk College’s Dean of Instruction for Nelson, Kate Pelletier. “The mission of Selkirk College is to inspire lifelong learning, transform lives through education and training, and serve our communities. That mission has certainly been accomplished and continues to grow at the Silver King Campus.” The Silver King Campus’ 50th Birthday Barbecue will take place on Wednesday, October 8 between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.. All former students, staff and community supporters are invited to share in the celebration.

& Exterior Paint

Top: A whole host of trades programs continue to thrive on the Selkirk College Silver King Campus, including the Welding Program which is at capacity this fall. Bottom: The Selkirk College Silver King Campus has graduated thousands of students over the last 50 years in a variety of trades and career programs, including this Millwright Program class from the early 1970s.

Lunch, cake and refreshments will be served. In 1975, the established vocational school was officially merged with Selkirk College. To mark the importance of the Toad Mountain area to Nelson’s mining past, the campus was renamed Silver King. Today the Silver King Campus is home to Hairdressing and Esthetics, Carpentry, Fine Woodworking, Heavy Mechanical, Plant Operator, Welding, Electrical, Millwright/Machinist, Metal

Fabricator, Adult Basic Education, Transitional Training and a wide range of community education courses and classes. “This campus is an important community asset and we want to share the 50th celebration with the community,” says Industry & Trades Training school chair Dan Obradovic. Learn more about the Silver King Campus and the programs located on the Rosemont location at selkirk.ca.

High achieving highland dancer Emily Ashton, age 13, has been highland dancing with Scottie School of Highland Dance since the age of 2. She competes locally and provincially, participates in yearly dance exams and dances for the community throughout the year at different functions and events (fall fair, Concert in the Park, Castlewood Village, Castleview Care Centre, Spring Fling, Kootenay Festival). Emily has recently been selected and nominated to compete in the B.A.T.D. (British Association of Teachers of Dancing) North American Sadie Simpson Highland Scholarship as part of the Junior Highland Scholarship in Seattle, Washington, on October 3, 4 and 5. She was nominated and selected after achieving Honours on her grade three theory exam.

Anna McCullagh,

Reg. Massage Therapist has returned to work full time after an unexpected absence. She would like to thank her clients for their patience during the past month. Please call Castlegar Chiropractic to book an appointment.

1020 Columbia Ave. Castlegar, BC 250.365.3365 | www.castlegarchiropractic.com

Each year a Scottish Official Board-certified examiner travels throughout our province to test dancers on their different levels of exams. If they choose to take them, the dancers study and practice to take these exams yearly. Emily has taken exams for the past six years and has always achieved top marks. She has been nominated twice now, as she received honours in her grade two theory exam as well. The scholarship consists of a class, a written paper where the dancers will have theory questions to answer and then they will be expected to dance an original solo of their own that they have arranged with their teacher. Thank you to all who have supported Emily in her fundraising efforts to make this trip happen.

Emily Ashton is taking her dancing beyond the limits of casual recreation.

Credit should be given to Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Goalie Liam Banks, without whom the score may have been much higher. Goalie Patrick Zubick, in his second year with the Rebels, held the Eagles back with the help of his teammates who were handy and ready to block pucks.

The Castlegar Rebels downed the Sicamous Eagles 7-4 on September 26 at the Complex, giving the Rebels their first regular season, home win. The Rebels blew a two goal lead in the second period and had to catch up after falling behind 4-3 by the start of the third. The game started evenly with both teams scoring in the first period. The Rebels were outshooting their guests 20-10 and

three assists. Petten scored in the second period assisted by Soukas to give the Rebels their first lead with five minutes left on the clock. Petten also sank a breakaway wrist shot with 3:28 left in the game. Centreman Lubin tied the game at 1 in the first, then again in the third to knot the game at 4. He was a definite asset in this game, hustling along with Petten and Mederios and others to guarantee a win. After the game, between signing autographs, he expressed his thoughts.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good one for the team, coming off a loss and finally getting the first one at home.â&#x20AC;? Aaron Petten described the closeness of the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We let them back in there for a bit, but we pulled through in the third period. The boys played good. Once we had some momentum going we kept going with it and we kept scoring.â&#x20AC;?

The Saturday game, September 27. was a little rough on the Rebels as they lost 7-3 to the Dynamiters in Kimberley. The Rebelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; next home games are this Saturday, October 4, at 7 p.m. with the Nelson Leafs and Sunday, October 5, at 2 p.m. against the Chase Heat.

Literacy hits the streets in Castlegar

Stand Up in Defense of Preborn Children Join Our Peaceful Witness To Protect Preborn Life Abortion Is One of Our Most Crucial Human Rights Issues

INTERNATIONAL LIFE CHAIN 2014 Saturday, October 4th

Community leaders and volunteers will join Black Press and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy on October 9 to raise awareness about the importance of literacy and to celebrate the power literacy has in Castlegar. The Fourth Annual Reach a Reader campaign will raise funds for Castlegar’s community-based literacy programs. Why? Literacy is important to all British Columbians! It impacts every aspect of our lives: healthcare, crime rates,

employment and economic status. Despite its essential role in life, at least 40 per cent of B.C. adults have difficulty reading a newspaper, filling out a work application, reading a map, or understanding a lease — and this percentage is increasing. “The Reach a Reader campaign reminds people that literacy skills are important if we are to succeed in today’s modern world,” says Alana Murdoch, Castlegar Community Literacy Coordinator. “Literacy is an important

part of strong communities. Literacy is lifelong and life-wide; it is about having the skills you need to do what you want to do in your life. When we hear the word literacy many of us think ‘you can read or you can’t read.’ Of course, literacy is about reading and writing, but it is also about the ability to express our ideas, think critically, and use technology.” In Castlegar, funds raised will help support the Community Learning Place. This free, drop-in program helps adults with ba-

sic computer, reading, writing and math skill development and test preparation. One program participant said, “I am grateful for the help I got at the Community Learning Place. I feel more confident with my computer skills and have used them in my job search.” The program will start on October 7 at the Castlegar & District Public Library and will run every Tuesday from noon to 3 p.m.

A PLACE TO REMEMBER LOVED ONES

Mike W. Popoff November 4th, 1928 - September 27th, 2013

One year has passed since that sad day, When one we loved was called away, God took him home, it was His will, Within our hearts, he liveth still. The Family In Loving Memory of

William George Voikin March 21, 1931 – September 21, 2014 It is with great sorrow that the family of William George Voikin, of Krestova, announces the passing of their beloved husband, father and grandfather at Talarico Place, on Sunday, September 21, 2014, at the age of 83 years. Bill was born March 21, 1931 in Arran, Saskatchewan to parents George and Nastya Voikin. He was the elder of two brothers. In 1938, the family moved to Glade, BC and subsequently to Goose Creek, where Bill and his father cleared the land and built a small home. In 1955, Bill married the love of his life, Anne Rezansoff. The couple began their life together in Goose Creek where they were blessed with three children. The family also moved for a brief time to the Lower Mainland, before returning in 1966 to Krestova, where Bill then built a modest home. In 2009, Bill and Anne, relocated to Castlegar, so as live closer to their daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter. In May 2014, Bill due to declining health entered Talarico Place. Throughout his life Bill worked on many construction projects such as the Keenleyside Dam, Mica Dam, and Seven Mile Dam as well as others. He also worked in the saw mill, on building roads and constructing high rise condos in the Lower Mainland. Bill suffered immense sorrow in his life. At age 20, his brother unexpectedly passed away from a brain aneurism and then in 1976 his only son Johnny at the age of 20 years died in a car accident. Bill always tried to live according to the Doukhobor principles of “Toil and Peaceful Life”. He was a deeply spiritual man who worked very hard. He was kind, sensitive and honest and possessed a healthy sense of humor. Bill will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by his family and by all who knew him. He was predeceased by his brother John Voikin, his son Johnny Voikin, his parents, George and Nastya Voikin, and his in-laws, Peter and Nellie Rezansoff. Left to mourn his passing: his wife, Anne Voikin, daughter Teresa (Ernie) Verigin, daughter Sharon (Cory) Philp and beloved granddaughter Anastasia Verigin, sisterin-law Vera Podmoroff, brother-in-law Peter (Elsie) Rezansoff, sister-in-law Katie (Harry) Podmorow, brother-in-law Walter (Winnie) Rezansoff, as well as, many cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. Funeral arrangements were in the care of Castlegar Funeral Chapel. Casket was provided by Harry Zeabin of Krestova, BC. Funeral services were held September 26, 2014 at Krestova Community Hall with Bill’s interment in Krestova Cemetery. A luncheon followed at Krestova Community Hall. The family of Willam (Bill) Voikin would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone for your love and support during our time of loss. The staff of Talarico Place for Bill’s care, the staff of Castlegar Funeral Chapel for their kind assistance, to Peter Rezansoff for his guidance in leading the funeral service, the psalm singers for the exceptional singing, the cooks for preparing the meal, the grave-diggers, all those who brought food, called, visited, emailed and expressed their condolences to the family. We are extremely grateful for all who attended Bill’s funeral and to all who assisted us in any way. Lastly, our family would like to express our deep appreciation to Dr. Jim Noiles and to Home Support for the years of care they provided Bill.

Art was born in Carrot River, SK, and came to B.C. in his late teens. Art met and married Peggy in Prince George, B.C. Aug 18th 1951.

They first lived in Salmo and then moved to Nelson in 1963 where they resided until Peggy’s work brought them to Castlegar in 1989. They enjoyed living in Castlegar until 2013 when they moved to Calgary, AB to be near their two youngest daughters. Art had a love of golf, and spent much of his retirement on the Castlegar golf course. He also enjoyed skiing, swimming and bicycling, and kept active his entire 85 years. A Memorial Service for Art will take place Friday, Oct. 17, 2014 @ 2:00pm at First Alliance Church 12345 40 St SE, Calgary AB in the Harvest Rooms Donations in lieu of flowers may be sent to The Heart and Stroke Foundation.

but its fits right at home here in Canada. The headlights and front grille look just like most Ford products and in fact I found myself doing a double take when I first came across one. In the cab I found plenty of room and could see myself working in this all day, jumping out to make deliveries and working very comfortably. The Transit Van is available in three body lengths, 320 cm (126”), 363 cm (143.7”), 436
