Canada Day in Rossland was a little different this year with the day’s festivities taking place outside Rossland Museum instead of at Pioneer Park, but tradition was upheld with the annual hike up Mt. Roberts. Hikers met at the museum at 8 a.m. on Wednesday and then carpooled to the trailhead to begin their trek. It was a grueling climb — over steep rocks and loose shale — and not every hiker made it to the top. But for those who did (at least for those who made it by 10:30 a.m.) the reward was watching the Canadian flag being hoisted high, after which, according to Mayor Kathy Moore, “the whole group sort of spontaneously burst into song,” with the singing of O
Canada. Moore says she’s done the climb up Mt. Roberts several times, but this is the first time she’s been part of the Canada Day hike. “It is a strenuous hike, but very rewarding when you get to the top,” she said. Back at the Rossland Museum, family friendly activities kicked off at noon with music and a barbeque, and face painting, crafts, and carnival games for the kids. Sonja Janischewski says her two daughters Ava and Mackenzie Echle (ages three and four) “really enjoyed being out and looking at all the equipment the city brought in,” equipment like loaders and graders. The day was marred only by an accident that befell Richie Mann of the Golden City Fiddlers. While setting up, Mann tripped over a cord and injured his ribs. An ambulance arrived shortly after to take him to the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital in Trail,

where he recovered from his injuries. He was released on Friday. The show went on with Mann’s grandson Gabe leading the Golden City Fiddlers. Afterward the Gold Fever Follies sang a bilingual rendition of the national anthem and performed a teaser from their summer show and then Molly Jamin, age 13, led the official singing of O Canada. Mayor Moore presented the Canada Day cake, cutting slices for everyone, and the day finished with music from the Foggy Goggly Boys. Museum director Joelle Hodgins and museum assistant Sandra Balentine worked over the winter to organize the event at its new location. Balentine estimates at least 300 people attended. “It seems like everyone had a lot of fun, and there were a lot of families out,” she said.

Rossland Mountain Market welcomed a new vendor on Thursday. Kevin Goodwin is the owner and distiller of Kootenay Country Craft Distillery, and it was his first time bringing his locally sourced gin and vodkas to the market. While Goodwin has previously attended markets in Creston and New Denver, he only recently received the Farmer’s Market Authorization that allows him to sell at the Rossland market. The B.C. Liquor Control and Licensing Branch, which issues the authorizations, requires separate approval for each market a vendor plans to attend, and each authorization only covers specified dates, which have to be agreed upon with the market’s organizers in advance. Goodwin and his wife Lora run the distillery in Creston. Products include their gold medal winning Valhalla Vodka, a craft gin, and flavoured vodkas, like mint and huckleberry ginger cinnamon. They purchase all of their ingredients from farmers in the region, and use water from a mountain spring. “Mountain spring water is an important part of our product,” says

Goodwin. “Mostly because chlorinated water has a flavour, so it would affect the flavour of the product.” They even buy their bottles
from Vernon, and Laura’s mother designs the labels. But Goodwin isn’t Mountain Market’s first alcohol vendor. Baillie-Grohman Estate Winery, also in Creston, attended the market for the first time last week, and vendor Patricia Husk says so far the reaction from marketgoers has been positive. “People like the idea of being able to stop and buy a bottle of wine, plus their veggies, and baking,” she says. The law allowing alcohol at farmers’ markets passed last June, but it wasn’t until this year that Rossland Mountain Market took advantage of the new legislation. The market’s manager, Miche Warwick, explained that before allowing alcohol, the market needed to be registered as a society, and needed to check in with the city, in case any local regulations prohibited the sale of alcohol at farmers’ markets. So far the effort seems to have paid off. “It’s exciting, and I see lots of bottles and bags heading out of the market, so I think it’s going well,” says Warwick. Goodwin agrees: “People are receptive to local products, and they’re definitely curious.” He hopes that the longer people see Kootenay Country at the market, the more receptive they’ll be to taking home craft spirits.
Ministry of Forests wildfire update RYAN WILMAN Rossland News
With files from Chelsea Novak With wildfires burning all over the province, the fire ban issued by the Ministry of Forests for the Southeast Fire Centre remains in full effect. The ban prohibits campfires, the use of fireworks and the burning of waste. A full list of banned activities can be found online at http://bit.ly/1GlhE9l. BC Wildfire Service information officer, Fanny Bernard, wants to remind residents that there has
not been significant precipitation to change the fire threat level. “Even though there may be isolated showers in your area, the Southeast fire centre is still suffering from dry conditions and very dry, combustible material on the ground.” Bernard said. Currently there are no wildfires near Rossland. The closest fire to hit the area was the fire outside Castlegar at Blueberry Creek, which BC Wildfire Service crews contained Sunday afternoon. Initial attack crews are fourperson teams that are deployed to small fire reports to action reported burns. These crews are
highly trained and are often transported by helicopter with enough resources and supplies to last 24 hours on site. Crews have been quick to respond to burns and Bernard acknowledges the current successful fire management efforts as a “testament to the hard work these initial attack crews are doing in these challenging conditions.” Unfortunately, the efforts of the BC Wildfire service crews are being counteracted by calls received by Bernard’s office reporting abandoned campfires in the Southeast fire center, “which should not be happening during the current ban.” There has been
more dry lightning activity in the area and crews are expecting an increase in hold-over fires caused by ground strikes. “Our resources need to be available to respond to these hold-over fires,” Bernard reiterates, “instead of responding to reports of human error.” Residents are reminded to respect the fire ban and to be conscientious of their outdoor activities, such as idling hot motorized vehicles over dry grass and tossing cigarettes out of their car windows. To report a wildfire or open burning violation, call 1 800 6635555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone.

Let the fun begin! CHELSEA NOVAK Rossland News
This year’s Gold Fever Follies’ production is a whimsical take on William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet that pokes fun at the classic tragedy, and incorporates some local history. Written by Trail-born and Rossland-schooled Brian Turner, Summer Is Coming pits Rossland and Trail against each other in a feud the Montagues and Capulets would be proud of. The dispute begins when Mabel (Kirsti Hack) from Rossland bites her thumb at Isabella Mezzonotti (Lauren Halász) from Trail. Things escalate as Isabella’s uncle, Alderman Flute (Nick Heffelfinger), and Rossland’s fire chief, Donald Guthrie (Ty Wright), enter the brawl. The two towns square off in a series of mêlées, including a dance-off, rap battle, and finally a ping-pong tournament that ends with betrayal and tragedy. In the midst of this musical warfare, two young lovers meet. At first Julian (Aaron James) and Romola (Alexandra Willet) try to conceal their relationship because he’s from Rossland and she’s from Trail. But their secret quickly spreads, culminating in the famous poison scene. Only in this case, the poison is whiskey. Near deadly to a couple of lightweights.
More seasoned audience members familiar with Shakespeare’s tragedy will be delighted by the way Turner gently pokes fun at young love run amok. From Julian’s pining over Rosaline to his too-early marriage proposal to Romola, Turner deconstructs the original to highlight Romeo and Juliet’s foolishness. But the crux of the play is really the rivalry between Guthrie and Flute. Wright and Heffelfinger play off each other brilliantly, bringing the Rossland/Trail conflict to life. Of course Hack pours fuel on the fire with her performance as the charmingly aggressive Mabel, who along with partner in crime Gertrude (Jessica Rowat), pushes along the plot, and keeps the laughs coming. The whole cast delivers an energetic performance of song and dance, with plenty of witty references to popular culture thrown in. (The title itself is a reference to Game of Thrones, and the show’s theme song has a tiny cameo.) Of particular note is Halász musical performance as Isabella, Romola’s sister. Halás is currently studying classical voice at the University of Western Ontario, and it shows in her operatic performance. The Gold Fever Follies deliver a fun-packed, family-friendly play that you should be sure to see. It runs through August 22 at the Miners’Hall, with daily performances at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

Outlook cloudy for climate policies
TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau came to Vancouver last week to unveil his environmental platform for the Oct. 19 federal election. Trudeau promised an overhaul of the National Energy Board and a vaguely defined intention to work with provinces to impose a “price” on carbon dioxide emissions across the country. Trudeau’s media tour took him to the Burnaby facilities of General Fusion, where, like Premier Christy Clark a few weeks before, he stood at his podium before a prototype fusion reactor. This massive octopus of pistons and wires is an attempt to capture the nuclear reaction that powers the Sun and other stars, containing its fury within steel walls and magnetic fields. The old joke about controlled fusion is that every 20 years, scientists tell us it’s just 20 years away. If it ever is developed, such a process could quickly put an end to our hand-wringing about fossil fuels, largely replacing them with endless, emission-free energy. This is the type of technological revolution that Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s officials indicated would be needed, after Canada announced a pledge with other G7
leaders to make their economies carbon-free by 2100. That’s right, some time within the next 85 years. Clark visited General Fusion in May to announce her new climate action advisory panel, which has to give her a plan to take to Paris next December. That’s the next big United Nations climate summit, where Trudeau hopes to lead a delegation of premiers to stop the flow of “fossil awards” given to Canada by people in polar bear suits. Asked about the fusion reactor she had just toured, Clark laughed off the question, comparing it to the “flux capacitor” used for time travel in the Michael J. Fox movie Back to the Future. Trudeau recently told university students that we need to change our concepts of time and space, and he didn’t seem to be kidding. The point here for voters is that all these leaders, Harper, Trudeau, Clark and many others, are talking down to you. You aren’t sophisticated enough to understand this climate business. The Pope has weighed in, assuring us that carbon trading systems are not going to cut it. This is a rebuke to California, Quebec and the European Union, where effective carbon trading is, like controlled fusion, just around the corner. Pope Francis warned that our “throwaway culture” views nature “solely as a source of profit and gain” and so peoChristine Esovoloff Sales Associate

ple won’t voluntarily do the right thing. (The results of the Metro Vancouver transit plebiscite could be interpreted this way, if you ignore the bumbling, waste and political posturing that really did it in.) The Pope concludes that there is “an urgent need” for a “true world political authority” to impose order on the greedy capitalist humans that infest our beautiful planet. Presumably this would be run by the UN, so my advice is to start hoarding candles and cat food now. B.C.’s frozen carbon tax has ceased to have much effect, with gasoline consumption back up over 2008 levels amid the usual volatility of prices. Gasoline is going for around $1.30 a litre, despite the prolonged slump in crude oil prices, and people have basically forgotten about this tax on top of all the other gas taxes. Perhaps B.C. can brag in Paris about the Pacific Carbon Trust, which limps along after its near-death experience in 2013. The trust continues to divert tax dollars from B.C. government operations to purported carbon-saving activities, including paying coastal First Nations not to log the portions of forests that they demanded be preserved.

The dirty details Local officials get up to speed on the region’s Liquid Waste Management Plan Rossland News
Local officials got up to speed on the region’s Liquid Waste Management Plan (LWMP) last Thursday. The officials make up the steering committee for the LWMP, and along with new members of the project’s local advisory, met with the technical committee to learn what has been done since the planning process began in 2005. Now in its second stage, the plan is down to two options for an upgraded sewage treatment plant serving Rossland, Warfield, and Trail. Mayor Kathy Moore, who’s on the steering committee and attended the meeting, says, “It’s great background to know the whole process that’s gone through before, and where we’re going into the future.” The upgrade is necessary to introduce secondary treatment technology to the region’s sewage treatment plant and meet provincial regulations. “We have been advised that we may be the only primary treatment plant discharging into fresh water in the province,” says Alan Stanley, general manager of environmental services for the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB). Secondary treatment uses biological processes to extract the solid waste not removed during primary treatment, which removes the larger solid waste.
A third new sewage treatment option, to build a second treatment plant in Rossland and upgrade the Waneta plant, was scrapped by the steering committee in late November last year. The two remaining options are to either upgrade and expand the current plant, or build an entirely new one in the Columbia Gardens area. The first option would be cheaper overall with $39.5 million in capital costs, but higher operation and maintenance costs at $1,117,500 per year. The second option would have higher capital costs at $61.1 million, but operation and maintenance costs would only be $650,000 per year. However, keeping the existing facility would have less of an impact on local fish populations. “The new construction would be along the riverbank, through, under or over Beaver Creek, so there is a potential for more habitat disruption,” says Stanley. “Basically the decision has been made that we’ll use the existing site,” says Moore, “which is big enough for us to make some expansion to it, if we need to, to upgrade.” The steering committee hopes to move the plan into stage three by the end of the year, with public hearings held before the plan moves forward. Stanley reminds us that though “sewage treatment is not really what you’d call the most exciting or sexy thing, … it is absolutely essential.”

Give your home an energy makeover
Renovations that take inventory of energy use and strive toward efficiency have grown increasingly popular over the years. Homeowners fed up with high utility bills want to conserve costs, and there are a number of ways to revamp a home to be more energy
efficient.
The first step in a home energy makeover is to find out where your home is losing money. Certain municipal and environmental agencies offer home assessments, during which they will do a complete walk-through of your home and highlight areas that can be improved. Private companies also perform energy audits on a home. They may be able to point out appliances, windows or landscaping issues that could be compromising the efficiency of a home. These people may have a more intimate knowledge of insulation ratings and window efficiency ratings than the average homeowner. In addition to having an energy audit on your home to save money on utility bills, a professional audit may make you eligible for tax incentives and rebates. That can mean even more savings and may even increase the value of your home. Until a thorough energy assessment can be made, there are some easy and relatively inexpensive fixes any homeowner can undertake to help improve energy efficiency.
* Clean air filters. Trapped dust and debris in a filter makes furnaces and air conditioners work harder. Once filters are free from dust, air can blow more smoothly through the system. * Plug leaks. Air leaks could be sucking energy out of your home and money out of your wallet. Once you find any leaks, you can use weather stripping and caulking to seal up breaches and save energy and money. * Invest in insulation. Install high-efficiency insulation in attics and between walls to prevent energy loss and keep more warm or cool air in the home. A well-insulated house requires less heating and cooling to keep the temperature indoors stable, and that translates to less money spent on utilities.

Before they can resume building a new trail, volunteers from the Church of Dirt must hike into the path they’ve constructed and then follow the winding stretch of dirt to where they last left off, lugging their tools along with them. The trail is Eddie J, named for an old nearby mine, and it’s the second trail the Church of Dirt has helped build in its three-year history. Work started on it last summer and resumed in May. Eddie J branches off from Drifter, the first trail built by the Church of Dirt, then crosses the highway and heads east to cross Monte Christo. When it’s finished it will run further east, crossing Snake and connecting with Kootenay Columbia.

He says he volunteered last season, but this is his first time out this summer. “When it’s 35 degrees in the evening, you know… I haven’t exactly been motivated to come out and swing an axe.” But here he is, swinging away to tear out a clump of roots blocking the path.

Rossland News
Bright green smoke billows from smokestacks at Teck, zombies are on the hunt, and School District 20 (SD20) students created it all. Fred Nock, a Kootenay Columbia Learning Centre (KCLC) online teacher, made a presentation at the SD20 board meeting on Monday, sharing the success of the Living Landscapes project — a week-long film making workshop for students from anywhere in the district. In May, the group of 15 students created three short films in just under a week, starting with writing scripts and shooting scenes and finishing up with editing and special effects for a polished final product. The KCLC teacher told trustees all about the alternative learning environment and how it gave the students a chance to explore new skills in broadcast and moviemaking, all while learning curriculum-based information. “We had teens in there writing, creating, storyboarding, looking at english language concepts like story structure, visual and art concepts, different shots, audio concepts and levels, performance, drama, technical and computer skills,” he shared, adding that the project was all about independence and collaboration. “The wonderful thing about film is that the kids teach each other. When there was a problem, they didn’t come to us teachers first. They would turn to each other.” Ollie Flick attended the course and worked on editing and special effects on The Walking Lead: Zombo Combo, one of the three short films that came out of the workshop. He said working on the project helped him teach others about the technical side of filmmaking, something he did in his spare time anyways. “At the beginning, while we were doing the idea board, I felt a connection with camera work and I connected with editing on the computer, while some people went to the writing,” he said, adding that he was excited to put skills into practice that wouldn’t normally get taught in a classroom. “It was really good to apply. Some of that stuff they
don’t teach at school and it was cool to teach to the other kids when they probably wouldn’t ever have been taught to do that kind of stuff.” Debbie Flick, Ollie’s mother, was also at the board meeting, and says she could see a noticeable difference in her son during and after the workshop. “I noticed with my own son, that that was a week, including the Saturday, where I didn’t have to wake him up,” she told trustees. “He was ready to go on his own. I noticed that it doesn’t change the world, but it is a step forward. I have seen an increased commitment to his school studies after that week. As a parent, it was very worthwhile.” The Zombo Combo movie was played at the meeting for trustees and attendees and got a few laughs with zombies running around Trail and Teck Trail Operations before being killed off by the film’s hero. Darryl Ganzert, board chair and Beaver Valley trustee, believes that filmmaking provides students with an opportunity to learn even if they are having trouble in the classroom. “I think you have really struck on something here that meets the needs of a lot of students whose needs are not being met right now,” he said, adding that he fully supports more programming like it. “This is where education is going. This is what the new education plan envisions and Fred, what you are doing is showing us what quality education is going to look like in the future.” Teri Ferworn, trustee for Area I and Area J, says she would like to see filmmaking as education and creative outlet take off, and even rival some of the summer workshops held in other Kootenay communities. “I would love to see something like (a film festival) happen in this community, starting with this,” she said, adding that she really enjoyed the screening of Zombo Combo. “I know that we lose a lot of students during the summer to Nelson for the film program they have there. It would be great to have something like that locally.” To view the three short films written, directed, shot and edited by SD20 students visit thecinematheque.ca/education/living-landscapes.

Thursday evening, participants mimicked yoga instructor Danielle Hachey’s moves in Pioneer Park. From left to right: Lou Greene, Dayna Dauswell, and John Premier. Photo by Chelsea Novak.
Free yoga class at Pioneer Park Chelsea Novak Rossland News
Dusk is falling, a fountain gurgles in the background, and yoga instructor Danielle Hachey instructs her students to jump up on their yoga mats into a surfer stance, demonstrating the move as she speaks. Five others, including Paul Girardi, mimic the move, sticking their landings on an ocean of green grass and clover in Pioneer Park. Hachey and Girardi are owners of Feathers and Fur, a company they started to bring yoga and surf experiences to the Kootenays. Hachey teaches regular yoga classes in town, while Girardi’s expertise is surfing. The two of them recently returned from a surf retreat
to Nicaragua in May, and are already planning another excursion to Mexico in the fall. Thursday’s yoga class was followed by a screening of Hachey and Girardi’s favorite surf film, Picaresque, which focuses on long boarding. “When you can actually walk on it — that there’s enough space, it’s long enough — that’s long boarding,” explains Hachey. Rossland Recreation donated a screen, projector, and speakers so the film could be shown outside. While there was no cost for the yoga class or the film, Hachey and Girardi did collect donations for the Rossland Youth Action Network, and Hachey says they hope this will be just the first of their summer events. “We’re hoping to do two more for the summer,” she says.

Cards of Thanks I want to extend a huge Thank You to everyone who attended my retirement party. It was wonderful to see so many people from the current preschoolers to the all-grown up ones and their parents. I feel very blessed to have been a part of their lives. A tremendous Thank You to my family, friends and playschool parents for all their hard work in putting this party together. The painting is absolutely phenomenal- what a keepsake I will treasure. Also Thank You to those of you who took the time to create a scrapbook page or send photos for the slide show, these are memories I will cherish forever. Everyone’s generosity has been overwhelming and is so truly appreciated. I loved my time with your kids and I will miss you all. Ilo
