Mayor breaks tie at council meeting BETSY KLINE Castlegar News

In what is an extremely rare situation for Castlegar city council, Mayor Chernoff had to cast a deciding vote when councillors were split three to three on a decision at Tuesday’s meeting. The issue at hand was the awarding of a contract to Castlegar and District Community Services Society (CDCSS) to run the concession services at the new Celgar Pavilion at Millennium Park. An original request for proposals with a June 23 deadline ended without any completed proposals, and was then reissued with an Aug. 25 deadline. That call yielded only two submissions. Councillors Vassilakakis, Chernoff and Rye were opposed to rewarding the contract. Many of their con-

cerns involved the small number of proposals to choose from. They expressed a preference that the issue go back out to proposal again, with a longer period of time for interested parties to respond. Another concern was that the monthly fee to be paid by the CDCSS to the City in the proposal would not be enough to cover the utility costs of operating the concession. “I understand that this is a service we want to provide to the community, but at the same time I don’t think we should necessarily be subsidizing it,” said Councillor Vassilakakis. Councilor Tassone, who was in favour of the motion, commented that he did not think the cost should be a concern as the city already covers similar costs for the Kinnaird concession. CDCSS plans to staff the concession by hiring up to

five students, three full-time and two part-time staff, along with a volunteer pool and individuals participating in their skills program. They will provide opportunities to persons with multiple barriers for employment a chance to gain work place experience and knowledge. “I think the group is credible and that they will manage the staffing of it really well,” said Councillor McIntosh. “I know there are people out there that they can hire with multiple barriers, that are just waiting for this opportunity, which is a really good thing for our residents.” Along with Tassone and McIntosh, Councillor Heaton-Sherstobitoff voted in favour of the motion, bringing the resolution to a tie until Mayor Chernoff joined them resulting in the motion being carried and the contract being awarded to the Castlegar and District Community Services Society.

Firefighters from across the province gathered in Robson at Pass Creek Park last weekend for the Firefighter Games. Sixteen four person teams contended for the championship in competitions spanning window rescues, hose relays, axe throwing, pike pole javelin and a chin up square off. At the end of the day. it was the Creston Irons who came out on top. The finale event, Mayday Mayday Mayhem, was an obstacle course that saw the firefighters dive into a giant slip and slide and crawl to the end, pass through a narrow tunnel, climb over and under walls, grab a fire hose and put out
three fires, rescue a180 pound dummy from a house and then carry him over a flight of stairs and through a series of doors that had to be kicked open and a wall that had to be opened by axe and sledge hammer. The crowd pleasing event showcased the stamina of the competitors. “Everything came together and all the sponsors stepped right up,” said Robson Fire Chief Jeff Grant. “It has been an awesome event.” The purpose of the event hosted by the Robson Fire Department was to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy Canada. Canadian firefighters have been helping Muscular Dystrophy Canada since 1954, mostly through “Fill Our Boots” campaigns. The Robson
Fire Department has done so well in their efforts that they are receiving an award for being in the top three fundraisers in British Columbia. “We have done really well this year,” said Grant. “That’s competing with Richmond, Surrey, huge population areas; so little Robson has really been put on the map.” The event required an impressive amount of organization and volunteer efforts. Lead organizer Dustin Lepage was happy with the outcome. “We are really enjoying ourselves. The competitive spirit is definitely coming out among the competitors,” said Lepage. Competitors and spectators alike thoroughly enjoyed the competition.

The Regional District of Central Kootenay is recruiting volunteer firefighters for all 18 fire departments under its jurisdiction. Seven departments are operating with a minimum level of volunteers, but all could use some reinforcement. Ootischenia, Pass Creek, Blewett and Ymir are especially in need of help. Regional Fire Chief Terry Swan says that volunteer recruitment and retention is the number one issue that faces all volunteer fire departments. “It is an effort. It is ongoing and I am certain will continue to be the number one issue for years to come,” said Swan. New volunteers are constantly needed to

replace those that retire or move away. Current lifestyles and job schedules make it more complicated for many to volunteer, but the two hour per week training commitment is very manageable. Training is done weekly at each firehall, but the night varies from station to station. Volunteers also carry a pager and are called in when an emergency arises. No experience is necessary to become a volunteer and training to professional standards is part of the package. All required personal protective equipment is provided, there are no out of pocket expenses. Becoming a volunteer firefighter not only helps the community, but often helps with one’s career and personal growth. “It looks really great on a resume that
you have this kind of volunteer work and you are doing such a huge service for the community,” said Deb Burnett, RDCK administrative assistant for Fire and Emergency services. “You are trained completely from the ground up, so you are becoming stronger, you are developing interpersonal skills, you are working together as a team.” These skills translate well into everyday life. The training not only covers the expected firefighting skills, but first responder, swift water rescue, over embankment rescue, wildland interface and jaws of life training also. The RDCK also has an officer development training program for those wishing to take the next step to become officers. Current volunteers encompass all ages and

come from many socioeconomic backgrounds and are both male and female. More women are joining all of the time, and the Balfour department has a female Deputy Fire Chief. Younger firefighters are also being recruited with several RDCK fire departments incorporating a Junior Firefighter Training program for those under age 19 that would like to volunteer. Volunteer firefighters receive insurance coverage through WorkSafe BC, 24 hour accident insurance coverage and $100,000 life insurance in case of accidental death. The federal government also provides tax credits to volunteer firefighters who serve at least 200 hours per year. If you want more information on becoming a volunteer firefighter, you can call the department that is closest to you. If you are ready to volunteer, an application is available on the RDCK web site. The next step requires obtaining a medical clearance form, criminal background check and a drivers abstract from ICBC. Any fees incurred will be reimbursed after completion of the new recruit three month probation period. “Everybody isn’t going to be the guy kicking open the door. There is a role for everybody; we have driver operators, people that do administrative roles,” said Ootischenia Fire Chief George Hamm. “If you have a bad knee or a bad back, don’t hesitate to call. Come on out, maybe we have a role for you. Fill out an application, all of the departments are looking.”

Twenty-five riders and six support people from RCMP and supporting enforcement agencies within South East District will embark on this year’s annual Cops for Kids Ride on Friday, September 11. The 2015 Ride, presented by The Thomas Alan Budd Foundation, will take the team across the South Eastern corner of British Columbia, to raise awareness and essential funds for children in medical, physical or traumatic crisis. Over the ten-day journey, Cops for Kids riders will cycle into 18 different communities across South Eastern British Columbia, facing some challenging terrain and possible inclement weather conditions along the way. The route includes the assent and decent of two mountains passes: the Anarchist Mountain and Blueberry-Paulson. These encounters will remind each rider of the challenges that some children, our Ambassadors, face on a daily basis and it will serve to keep them focused to complete their journey to help
better the lives of these children. As a part of the 2015 Cops for Kids Ride, our team will be arriving in Castlegar on Sunday September 13th from Grand Forks at approximately 3:30 p.m. to Andre’s Electronics in Castlegar to do some community presentations to local children, and the opportunity to meet with local media and dignitaries. Following their presentations, the group will be graciously fed and hosted in our community by the Legion Ladies Auxiliary, Boston Pizza and the Super 8.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
We are excited to announce that the Canadian Cancer Society has moved to a new location in downtown Trail. While our old space served us well for many years, it was time to downsize. We have always been strongly committed to living within our means and providing responsible leadership and stewardship of donor dollars. With that said, our new office move has allowed us to benefit in cost savings. We can now put more money towards our mission and continue to have an office presence within Trail and the West Kootenays. We wanted to ensure the stability of our organization’s ability to serve British Columbians and this office move has allowed us to continue down this road. We will continue to offer the support services we have been providing to our communities throughout the years that include: • Cancer Information Service (CIS)- a national, toll-free service available to cancer patients, caregivers, families and friends, the general public and healthcare professionals. To access CIS call toll-free at 1-888-939-3333. • Financial Support Program and/or the Financial Support Drug Program - limited, short-term financial assistance to cover a portion of clients’ cancer-related transportation and accommodation expenses. In addition, through our partnership with the BC Cancer Agency, we can assist clients with a portion of the cost of selected prescription medications that manage symptoms related to
cancer treatment. • Wig room - women can browse a selection of wigs and various headwear including toques, turbans and scarves. Our wig room is a free service and helps women living with cancer find wigs when they lose their hair as a result of cancer treatment. • Community services locator (CSL) - a directory that helps cancer patients, caregivers and healthcare providers find the services they need. • Accommodations - the Canadian Cancer Society operates four reasonably priced lodges in close proximity to cancer treatment centres in Vancouver, the Southern Interior, on the Island and Northern BC. • CancerConnection – a service that connects people living with cancer with trained volunteers who listen, provide hope, offer encouragement and share ideas for coping – all from their unique perspective as someone who’s been there. We’re still working on getting settled in, but we’re incredibly excited to be in the new space. The new office is located at the South Kootenay Business Centre, same building as the Post Office. Our address is 835 Spokane Street, Suite 15. Office hours are 8:30-4:00pm, Monday-Friday and phone number is 1-800-403-8222. Feel free to stop in and say hello, just look for the yellow daffodil outside our door. Allison McCarthy Annual Giving Coordinator

What advice would you give your younger self I think each and every one of us has moments of reflection in which they contemplate the choices they made in life and the results of those sometimes life Karen Haviland changing decisions. The other day I was reading online Global News BC and spotted the headline Women Reveal What They’d Do Differently if They Were Young Again. Naturally, the headline intrigued me and I was drawn into the piece to see what my contemporaries had to say for themselves. The underlying question of the
Off the Line
story was “What advice would you give your younger self.” From those numerous long talks I have had with myself, I knew what my answers would be, but I was curious to see how that aligned with women just like me; women who are, shall we say, a little long in the tooth and also long in the accompanying wisdom (if we are lucky enough to ever get introspective and honest enough with ourselves to open that door). According to the story, nearly half the women surveyed that they “admitted they felt moderately or extremely stressed”, while 40 per cent “confessed to being close to a burn out” and sadly, 62 per cent “felt their lack of me time was holding them back.” So, there it was in black and white, the undeniable fact that

many of us let life pass us by while we are dancing as fast as we can for other people. You know what’s ironic about that? If those statistics are true, many of those other people were/are likely dancing at break neck speed for us! Think about that for a moment. As we age, all of us, men and women alike take our temperature, so to speak. We take inventory. That is how we grow. If we are brutally honest with ourselves then much good can come out of that inward reckoning. Contrary to the popular saying, you can teach an old dog new tricks. Imagine that! In case you didn’t read the article, I will quote a few words of advice posted on Global’s FB page that resonated with me. “Don’t listen to what ‘society’

They grow up too fast.” – Shannon Bell McFadden. “I have made so many poor choices. If I could talk to my younger self, I would tell me to stop being so hard on myself ”. – Jennefit Edmunds. Then there was this local person who weighed in with her thoughts. “Breathe. Live. Feel. Experience. Be courageous, but above all listen to the beautiful woman you are. Believe in yourself even when others don’t.” – Karen Haviland. I’ll tell you, it’s easy to throw your ideas into the pot and hope it adds to the soup. Anyone can do it.
The trick is to not only do it, but to live it, believe it and pass it on. If we keep our past experiences, including the most embarrassing and the most heartbreaking, to ourselves, we have done nothing as a person, or in my case, as a woman, to try to soften your sometimes heavy touch on the world and those in it really is a shame. It doesn’t just hurt those it would benefit, but it hurts the one who it could benefit the most – you. Honesty and owning your actions aren’t always easy. In fact, they are sometimes downright painful, but once one puts on that cold cape of honesty it magically transforms into the warm cape of peace and tranquility. In the winter of our life having such a mantle of warmth around is both comforting and affirming.

So you’ve made your will and named your executor.
BUT IS YOUR ESTATE
PREPARED? EVELYN VAANANEN It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Evelyn Vaananen in Castlegar BC, on August 30, 2015, after a brief respiratory illness. Evelyn was born in 1907 in Hibbing, Minnesota. When she was a young girl of nine, her family immigrated to Canada to homestead in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The family moved to Cobalt, Ontario during the 1920’s where she met her future husband, William (Bill) Vaananen, whom she married in 1931. Evelyn and Bill lived in the Sudbury area where Bill spent his entire career with Inco. Evelyn was a homemaker and enjoyed baking, gardening, and watching sports on TV--she particularly enjoyed curling and the ‘Leafs’. Evelyn was also a member of the Eastern Star. At the age of 102, when she decided that she couldn’t live alone anymore, she moved to Castlegar, BC to be closer to family. Evelyn enjoyed the many visits and letters from family and friends while living in Castlegar, although she always missed Sudbury. She moved to Extended Care after sustaining serious injuries in a head-on car collision, but like a cat, she seemed to have nine lives and amazed us all when she would recover just when we thought that she was on the brink of death. She maintained her feisty spirit and kept those around her on their toes! She was sharp of mind until the end and regularly beat everyone at cribbage. Evelyn experienced many technological changes during her lifetime. She was born during a time when she still travelled by horse and buggy (the Model-T Ford came in 1908), cooked on a wood burning stove, milked the family’s cows, and indoor plumbing, electricity and telephones were a household rarity. Up until recently, she flew on a plane, cooked in her microwave oven, and skyped with her grandchildren. It is possible that the world has made more technological advancements during her 100 plus years than in any other point in history. Evelyn was a strong and independent woman, who was a positive and inspiring role model for her entire extended family for an incredible 107 years! She will be fondly remembered as a gentle, kind, and generous lady with “sisu”... the stamina, perseverance and stoic determination that typified her Finnish spirit. She will be sadly missed by all who knew her. Evelyn was predeceased by her husband Bill in 1974, her parents Hilda and Mattias Lahteenmaa, her sisters Mae Anderson (Miles) and Helen Tikkanen (John), and her brothers Ted (Mary) and Bill Lahteenmaa. She is survived by her son Ronald (Marney Miller) of Denver, Colorado; her grandchildren Keith (Brenda Derochie) of North Bay, ON, Sheila Vaananen (Chris Johnson) of San Jose, Mexico, and Paula Vaananen (David Larocque) of Castlegar, BC; her five great-grandchildren: Braden, Kiersten, and Graeme Vaananen, and Noah and Simon Larocque; her sister-in-law Elnora Lahteenmaa of BC; as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Many thanks to the staff and doctors at Talarico Place for their care of Evelyn for the past three years. At Evelyn’s request, there will be no funeral service. In lieu of flowers the family is requesting that donations be made to a charity of your choice.

Catherine Pereverzeff With great sadness and much love we announce the passing of Catherine Pereverzeff on September 1, 2015 at the age of 59. A beautiful soul gone too soon, Cathy was dearly loved and will never be forgotten. She was predeceased by her parents Andrew and Polly Pereverzeff and a sister in infancy, Verna. Survived by her partner Bill Perepolkin and her siblings brother Jack (Laurel) and sister Marlene (Larry) and their children, her nieces who were very dear to their Aunt's heart, Erin (Dan), Andrea (Sean) and her precious greatnephew Nicolas and great niece Jenna to who she was their Tyota that they loved so much. At Cathy's request there will be no service and her ashes to be scattered at a later date. We would like to thank the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital, Trail, BC, her doctors, nurses and other caregivers and staff on the 3rd floor for the superb care and compassion they gave to Cathy while she was in their care.

CONTEST! Congrats to our winner, Lis Hoole!
Lis has won 12 sessions of KMI Structural Integration therapy with Katherine Donovan of Spectrum Massage. So far i have had two KMI sessions and i can officially say i am addicted! The clarity i am having is phenomenal. My body and alignment is already making positive and noticeable changes. I can feel my breath moving and expanding throughout my body and most importantly to the places that have been blocked for years...i cant even believe it!! I am learning to listen to my body which naturally slows me down. My posture feels as if its being corrected without me doing anything but be present during our sessions. The KMI process is lovely, painful, relieving and peaceful. Katherine has made me feel incredibly comfortable and i appriciate her expertise. I am so thankful for this experience.
KATHERINE DONOVAN In
my first meeting with Lis, she indicated many issues on the right side of her body, from the longest standing pain in the right shoulder blade region, to her right knee and hip, and both feet, but right more than left. On visual assessment, it was clear there is something creating a lean to her right as demonstrated in her shoulder girdle and pelvis both tilting right. There were other
compensatory tilts and shifts and leg length issues present in the body as well. Our first session involved working with the Superficial Front Line of myofascia. Basically working from the tops of the feet/toes up the front of the legs to the pelvis and abdomen, and continuing up the sternum to the front of the neck. While checking in through the treatment, words like lighter and breath of fresh air was how she described the releases in her body.
Moving on to the second session, which mirrored the first, we worked the Superficial Back line, which runs from the bottom of the feet, up the calves and hamstrings to the back of the pelvis, and continuing up the back myofascia to the back of the neck and over top of the head to the forehead. This is more of a grounding session, and Lis reported being more in her heels. We will be heading into the last two “superficial” lines coming up, being the Lateral Line and Spiral line for sessions 3 & 4.

Sleep is extremely important to good health. After a night’s sleep you should wake up feeling rested and refreshed. For more than 25% of Canadians this is not the case. If you wake up feeling tired and remain tired throughout the day you may be suffering from a sleep disorder. One of the most common sleep disorders is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). What is Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA)? During sleep the muscles that control the tongue and soft palate hold the airway open. If these muscles relax too much the airway narrows and can block the passage, as you breathe in, the soft of floppy part of the throat vibrates causing snoring. As you enter deep sleep, these tissues can fully block the airway and breathing stops. Regular occurrence of these sleep disruptions increase your risk of cardiovascular disease and can exasperate conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure. If sleep disturbances occur regularly many of your body systems will suffer. The most common signs symptoms are: • Daytime tiredness • Snoring • Pauses in breathing • Gasping or choking during sleep • Depression or anxiety • Difficulty concentrating
• Large neck circumference • Excessive Weight BMI >28 • Family History If left untreated you could be at risk for: • High Blood Pressure or congestive heart failure • 8 to 18 times more likely to have a heart attack and or stroke • Decreased quality of life • 3 fold increased risk for car accidents • 2.5 times more likely to die in your sleep • Erectile Dysfunction • Concentration or attention problems • Sleep deprived bed partners • Complications with medications and Surgery Diagnosis: OSA can be diagnosed in several ways. The standard for OSA is an overnight visit to a provincial sleep lab where you would undergo testing. BC has 11 sleep labs located in major centers. Independent Respiratory Services offers home testing in communities across BC. Home testing is an effective screening program that measures up to 7 parameters allowing for diagnosis. Treatments: There is no easy fix for OSA, the following can help reduce its affects: weight loss, avoidance of alcohol, sleep position and good sleep
habits. When these do not work other treatments are available: • Dental appliances (bite-blocks) have been shown to reduce Apneas in mild to moderate cases. Pros: Non invasive, easily portable. Cons: Only 50% effective , no trial period to see if they work, have to be purchased upfront, cost, adjustment period 4-12 weeks • Surgery: Not recommended by the College of Surgeons and Physicians due to failure rates and complications of surgery. • Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine: This device is the gold standard for treatment. CPAP applies gentle air pressure through the nose or mouth preventing the soft tissues in the back of the throat from collapsing. Pros: 100% effective when worn. Cons: Getting use to the mask and pressure, cost. Should you suspect you or someone you know is suffering from OSA, talk to you physician or contact IRS for more information and free testing 1-877-965-6204 or www. irscanada.ca Independent Respiratory Services is a BC-owned and operated full service respiratory company. We have been providing sleep apnea and home oxygen therapy to British Columbians since 1996.

Cuddle Party has come to the the Kootenays. Castlegar resident Erica Scott is training to be a Cuddle Party facilitator, and has two upcoming cuddle parties in the area. The first will be in Nelson at the Health Collective on September 26, and the second will be in Castlegar on October 17. A cuddle party is in some ways exactly what it sounds like. A group of people get together to cuddle each other. But before the cuddling comes the workshop and the laying out of ground rules. “It’s very important that everyone involved be part of the welcome circle,” says Scott. “So

Cuddle parties last for three and a half hours, and at the end everyone is invited to join a puppy pile. A lot of the media coverage around Cuddle Party emphasizes the benefits of human touch.

is if it’s something you wouldn’t do beside an eight year old, then don’t do it,” says Scott. The first rule is that pajamas—which participants are encouraged to wear—stay on. Pajamas should be cozy, not lacy or sexy. Another rule is that you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. “If you decide that you don’t want to be a part of it at all, but you want to stay, you can sit and watch, you can write in your journal, you can read a book, [or] you can sketch,” says Scott.

what we do is, we open the doors half an hour before it starts, but when it starts we shut the doors and we lock them, so that no one new comes in without being part of the welcome circle.” The welcome circle gives participants a chance to get to know each other, and it’s where the facilitator—in this case, Scott—leads consent and communication exercises like “practicing saying no, practicing hearing no, practicing asking for what you want and how to do that, and verbal consent, what that looks like and what it doesn’t look like.” Scott will also go through the rules. Cuddle parties are non-sexual events, and many of the rules reinforce that idea. “The general idea

provides an opportunity to learn about consent and communication in a safe space. “Some people come to Cuddle Party just to practice saying no, because they’ve never been able to do that before, or they struggle with it in their daily lives and they just want to practice,” says Scott. Participants are also encouraged to change their mind, and are taught ways to express that. “If you say yes to something, and five seconds later you decide it’s no, then you are encouraged to be authentic in that moment, and change your mind,” says Scott. “And we encourage people to take that experience out into the world.” Scott works as an electrician, but she’s been looking for something else. “I’ve been trying to figure out how to integrate how I feel inside with how I make a living and how I am in the world,” she says. Scott started her training at a workshop in Chicago, but to complete her certification she needs to host three review parties, each with a minimum of eight participants who will give feedback on her performance as a facilitator. She hopes that the parties in Nelson and Castlegar will have enough participants to count as her first two review parties.

Gallery to host photo exhibits
On September 25 an opening reception will be held at the Kootenay Gallery of Art for two photographic exhibitions. The East Gallery will feature the work of photographers, Jo Brown and Tom Bradley, who live and work in Winlaw. They have formed a creative partnership in which they share a passion for their craft, a fascination with the effect of natural light on their subjects and an interest in the natural world. Brown invites the viewer to imagine themselves as part of the landscape and therefore part of the story told by the images. Bradley brings an historical perspective, a curiosity as to who may have walked on the narrow streets or passed along the country road many years before. Brown and Bradley have created a body of work independent of each other yet found that when exhibited together another dimension is added to the stories they tell. In the West Gallery is a very timely exhibition of photographs taken by front line forestry firefighters. After every fire season and especially toward the end of this devastating one, people feel a huge sense of gratitude to those who
Clay Mitchell, Front Line Forestry Firefighter, South East Fire Centre. serve on the fireline. Karlie Shaughnessy, Communications Officer for this Southeast Fire Centre works with the men and women who fight the fires in our local district and encourages them to capture their stories on camera. The results are incredible photographs that reflect the level of intensity they face in their efforts to control the often powerful and unpredictable fire events. Come to the opening of this exhibition, meet some of these men and women and get a glimpse into eye care professionals
their world. The opening reception for both these exhibitions will be held on Friday, September 25. The exhibitions will run from September 25 to November 7. The Gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10-5 p.m. with admission by donation. The Gallery is located across from the Castlegar Regional Airport adjacent to the Doukhobor Discovery Center on Heritage Way. For more information visit www. kootenaygallery.com.

Disgraced cop must go Editor’s note: This column was written by Nelson Star (and former Castlegar News) editor Greg Nesteroff. It is about a Nelson police issue but we felt it was would be of interest to readers in Castlegar.
Cst. Drew Turner is a disgrace to the Nelson Police Department Greg and should be fired forthwith. Or he can do us all a favour and resign. Nesteroff It’s bad enough that he found it necessary to punch a woman twice — at least once in the face — but after his astonishing testimony at trial, the community can no longer trust him. And trust is a police officer’s greatest and most important asset. Turner would have us believe a handcuffed woman who weighs barely more than 100 pounds twice was about to attack him — he could “see it in her eyes” — and but for his actions, four male officers would have been at risk of bodily harm. He claimed a fellow officer who touched his shoulder to calm him down “was not there.” He explained that after knocking the woman unconscious, his comment “That will shut her up” was an attempt at gallows humour. (Guess you had to be there.) All preposterous. In convicting him of a single count of assault, Judge Richard Hewson rejected Turner’s testimony and accepted instead the word of three fellow officers, whom we applaud for their forthrightness. It could not have been easy for Sgt. Jarrett Slomba, Cst. Bill Andreashuk, and Det.-Cst. David Laing to testify against their colleague, but we’re grateful they did. Police officers have a hard, thankless job at the best of times. Sometimes force is necessary in making an arrest. But Turner’s actions and subsequent outrageous explanations are the sort of things that makes the public cynical about the profession. The judge has yet to mete out Turner’s punishment, but we believe he no longer has any business holding a badge in this city. Police officers are held to a higher standard of conduct than the general public and with good reason. No one’s perfect, but Turner’s behaviour falls dramatically short of what citizens expect of their police force. The other disturbing part of this case is that the police department kept it secret. They neither announced an investigation into the conduct of one of their own was underway, nor that a charge had been laid. The police board should adopt a

September is Arthritis Month Awareness in Canada. An estimated 4.6 million Canadians over the age of 15 report having the disease and by 2036, that number will increase to 7.5 million. It is not a disease that affects only the elderly. About 56% of arthritis sufferers are under 65. A new arthritis diagnosis is made every sixty seconds in Canada.

Another area of research into the use of the chemicals in marijuana is in the treatment of the common behavioural symptoms of Alzheimer’s patients. These include anxiety, depression, sleep problems, agitation and aggression. Early double-blind studies didn’t show much improvement of these symptoms perhaps due to conservative dosing but future testing will use higher doses.

It’s good to live in Canada. A report released recently in the U.S. said that a half million Americans had more than $50,000 in prescription drug costs and 139,000 had costs of more than $100,000. Much of these costs were related to cancer and Hepatitis C treatments. Take charge of your own health and your family’s health. Let our pharmacists be part of your healthcare team.
an officer is under investigation — and certainly if a criminal charge is laid. It’s not the first time an officer’s conduct has been in question and the public has not been told. The following cases involving members of the Nelson Police Department appear on the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner’s website, without any names: • On Feb. 23, 2008 an officer was investigated for discreditable conduct after failing to provide access to a lawyer for a man he arrested for being drunk in public. The officer was required to participate in a “specified program or activity” and given advice to avoid repeating the mistake. • In June 2010, an officer disclosed someone’s criminal record to a third party without lawful authority. The officer was verbally reprimanded. • On March 22, 2011, an officer was accused of neglect of duty after arresting a man for drug possession but failing to read him his rights. The officer was reprimanded verbally, told about the absolute necessity of informing someone of their Charter rights, and advised of the necessity of keeping notes. • On April 30, 2011, two officers used unnecessary force while booking a man into jail. This case was reviewed first by a sergeant from the Delta Police Department, who concluded the pair was guilty of excessive force and then by a retired judge who agreed. The suspect stole a bottle from the liquor store and was arrested soon after outside the youth centre. His takedown provoked the complaint, but it was what happened at the police station, recorded on a cell block video, that drew the greatest scrutiny. One constable grabbed the suspect’s head and neck from behind with both hands, forcing him to look forward. The other then grabbed the man’s head and slammed in onto the booking desk. The officers were both given verbal reprimands, ordered to review police manuals on arrest procedures and use of force, and complete courses in tactical communications and critical incident de-escalation. We aren’t suggesting these are anything more than isolated incidents — and compared to larger municipal departments, they are very few and far between — but until now the public hasn’t been aware of them. The Nelson Police Department and its board’s apparent hope that Turner’s case would be dealt with outside the public eye in place of open transparency shakes our faith in them — which is unfortunate, because Turner’s poor example notwithstanding, we still have a high regard for the men and women who protect this community.

Castle Wood hosting Silver Fox Run Betsy Kline Castlegar News
Castle Wood Village will be hosting a Silver Fox Run on Thursday, September 17. The event is a version of the Terry Fox Run geared for seniors. This is the second year Castle Wood has hosted a Silver Fox event and last year over $4,000 was raised for cancer research. There will be a short walk/run that goes around the Castle Wood property and a longer one that circles downtown and takes about one hour to complete. The Castlegar Rebels will be on hand to serve water, refreshments and encouragement along the route.
Looking forward to seeing you there. Special Resolutions to be adopted at AGM
The public is encouraged to participate. Registration can be done in advance through Castle Wood Village or on the day of the race. There is no fee for registration, but all funds donated go directly to the Terry Fox Foundation. Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the run starts at 10:30 a.m., followed by a by-donation BBQ lunch, silent auction, bake and craft sale, and a dance with live music. Golden Life, the company that owns Castle Wood, will be busing residents from their other properties in Fruitvale, Trail, Nelson and Grand Forks to the event. Organizers are expecting around 500 people at the event.

The three important and often intertwined topics are of increasing relevance to Canadians in the twenty-first century. Co-hosted by Selkirk College’s Mir Centre for Peace and the Nelson-West Kootenay chapter of Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL), the forums will take place in Nelson and Castlegar. “A national opinion poll recently stated that Canadians feel less secure now than they did several years ago,” says Randy Janzen, chair of the Mir Centre for Peace. “We are asking the candidates to reflect honestly on how foreign policies can foster global peace and security, or conversely even exacerbate peace. We are also asking the candidates to listen to what the constituents are saying about peace and security.”

Climate change is the defining issue of this century. Experts predict that if we don’t drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we are heading to some very dark places in the coming decades. Severe warming is expected to result in massive disruptions in world food supplies, cause lasting droughts and extreme weather events, and collapse our socio-economic systems. We can expect unprecedented numbers of climate refugees as the situation worsens. “One of the goals for this forum is to have a candid dialogue about this complex issue,� says Laura Sacks, one of the organizers and head of the local CCL chapter. “The biggest obstacle to solving this problem is political will. How can we tackle this complex issue, which requires a long-term commitment in an era of sound bites and short-term political thinking?� The forums are expected to have a respectful tone and will be moderated by United Church
SU
ministers David Boyd in Nelson and Greg Powell in Castlegar. Public interaction and discussion of key issues will be encouraged. Invitations were sent to candidates from the four main political parties back in June. Christina Yahn, the Libertarian party candidate, has also been invited to the Nelson forum. David Wilks, Conservative candidate and current MP for Kootenay-Columbia has declined the invitation. The Castlegar forum is at the Sandman Hotel (1944 Columbia Avenue) on Thursday, Sept. 17 at 7 p.m. for the South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding.

ROTARY NEWS
service above self Castlegar Rotary exchange students This week, the two Castlegar Rotary Clubs welcomed this year’s Exchange students. The Evening Club is hosting two students — Andrea Alvarado from Ecuador, and Jan Weber from Switzerland, and the Sunrise Club is hosting one student — Kaoru Ono from Japan. Rotary Student Exchange is a Rotary sponsored program for high school aged students who are interested in living and studying abroad for one year. Its goal is to promote the advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace at the person-to-person level. Over the past 30 years, over 100 students have come to Castlegar, and about the same number have gone abroad. As well as hosting these three “inbounds,” the Clubs have two “outbounds” – Jeffrey Ashton has gone to France and Annie LePage to Germany for the year. While in Castlegar, Andrea, Jan, and Kaoru will each stay with three differ-
ent host families. These host families are essential to the program, and both Clubs want to thank them for taking on the responsibility of having these students become part of their families for three months. As well as attending school, skiing at Red Mountain, and going on outings with their host families, the exchange students will go on a number of different trips with all of the other exchange students in Rotary District 5080 (South Eastern BC, eastern Washington, and part of Idaho). The students will be taking part in an orientation camp in Idaho this fall, a ski weekend in Chewelah in February, and a District Tour in the spring. If you have a son or daughter who would like to go on a Rotary exchange, contact Stacie Martini, the Rotary Youth Exchange officer at 250-3651953. By Wayne Groutage

Interact Students in Ecuador
Twelve members of the SHSS Interact Club (a Rotary sponsored Service Club for high school students), along with their four adult chaperones have reported in from Ecuador that their service project has been a huge success and a wonderful experience. The members of the club have been fundraising for two years to be able to travel to Ecuador to build a cancha — a multi-purpose playground in the small town of Malchingui, north of Quito. While in Malchingui, the students and adults have stayed at the homes of locals, giving all of them an opportunity to better experience what life is like in that country. The project was coordinated by Rotarians in Ecuador, but our Interact Club members provided most of the labour. The completed park was named “Castlegar Park” in honour of the students who built it. The trip has been more than just the completion of the project for the 12 students and the four adults. The hospitality of their hosts has been overwhelming, and the opportunity to live with the locals and see some of the local sights has been an added bonus. One of the club members reported, “There is always so much food at meals and the people here are so willing to share all that they have, even when they have very little.” Another notes, “Some friends of my host family stopped by to visit where we struggled to make conversation but we have gotten better at charades since we got here.” Stan Hadikin, one of the adults on the trip, said, “I have to laugh when the boys are complaining that the host families are feeding them too much!” The building work was quite strenuous, with heat, wind, and dust making it uncomfortable. Hadikin also
remarked, “We are all feeling the effects of the elevation as we are at 9000 feet and the oxygen is a little thin. This makes the work seem quite a lot harder than it would in Castlegar, but the group managed well. The climate is very dry and we are all feeling the need to drink a lot of water to keep hydrated and energetic.” As well as building the playground, the students painted a seniors’ centre. It wasn’t all work – one of the Interactors reported that they went on a tour to a park and, “we made our way up to the top of a little hill where we found that we were on the equator with one foot in the southern hemisphere and one in the northern hemisphere!” The locals held a ceremony to celebrate the completion of the playground. Lorraine Hartson reports, “We were paired with a child from the community and together we planted a tree and placed our names in front of the tree. Each student will be responsible for watering their tree for the coming years. The wind and the dust did not disappoint and was in full force while we were doing our photo ops. We were pleased and honoured when we were shown a large sign stating the park was now named “Castlegar Park”. When we could no longer stand the wind we headed to the community centre for speeches. The message that was loud and clear was how the community was so impressed with these young people building a cancha in 10 days, a feat they did not think was possible. It was also mentioned how much our hosts enjoyed having us in their homes and there will be many wet tears tomorrow morning as we leave town.” By Wayne Groutage

Rebels off to rough start Chelsea Novak Castlegar News
The Castlegar Rebels lost its first exhibition game of the season against the Beaver Valley Nitehawks at the Castlegar Complex on Wednesday, September 2. The Rebels got off to an energetic start, but were quickly overtaken by the aggressive forecheck of the Nitehawks. By the end of the first period, the Nitehawks were up by three goals, thanks in part to a breakaway by forward Blake Sidoni. Things were a little more evenly matched in the second period. Tayden Woods got the Rebels on the scoreboard with a goal 13 minutes in. Unfortunately, the Nitehawks had also scored another goal earlier in the period, so they maintained their three-goal lead.
The Nitehawks scored its fifth and last goal six minutes into the third period, and shortly after Woods managed a second and final goal for the Rebels. A fight broke out in the middle of the period, ending with gloves and sticks all over the ice, and a brief lull in the action while officials tried to sort out penalties. The game ended without anyone else scoring. Despite the Nitehawks getting off to an early three-goal lead, the Rebels managed to keep things fairly even in the second and the third. But they weren’t so fortunate when they played a second exhibition game against the Nitehawks in Fruitvale on Friday, when they lost 1-13. The Rebels will play their first regular season game against the Fernie Ghostriders on Friday, September 11 at the Castlegar Complex.
