An ever increasing influx of bears over the past few weeks is becoming quite the problem for residents, conservation officers and bears alike. WildSafeBC community coordinator for Castlegar Jenny Wallace stated, “The bear situation is Castlegar right now is crazy. It is very different from the last two seasons.” She blames the increase on the hot dry summer and the failed huckleberry crop. “The root cause of most human wildlife conflict is food,” continued Wallace. “Food conditioned bears are potentially very dangerous bears.” The improper storage and management of attractants like garbage, fruit trees, compost and recycling lies at the heart of the problem. Many of the current conflicts involve unpicked ripe fruit. With as much education efforts as have been done by WildSafeBC (formerly Bear Aware) and the City of Castlegar, it is hard to believe that there is still a large problem with residents putting their garbage out the night before their scheduled pick up. Some residents have been keeping their garbage in, but putting their recycling out early,

which is still an attractant because of the smell, even though it does not end up as a reward for the bear. At their last meeting, city council discussed instructing staff to be more aggressive in ticketing the bylaw breaking action in order ensure residents are limiting the attractants. Unfortunately, there is no local source for bear resistant garbage containers. However, Home Hardware will order in Ty-Dee bins for residents interested in a bear proof garbage storage locker. Another option comes from Rollins Machinery in Langley, they offer a 32 gallon bear resistant cart for $175 plus tax and delivery or a 64 gallon version for $195 you can see these containers at www. bearproofcontainers.com. Conservation officer Tobe Sprado reports that his office has received about 100 bear complaints, with most of those occurring in the last few weeks. This has resulted in the necessity of putting down seven bears. “That is one of the most distasteful parts of our job, having to put down wildlife,” said Sprado. Conservation officers take careful consideration before making the decision to put down a bear. Sprado said, “We are extremely cautious.”

Rock Creek supported The City of Castlegar has unanimously passed a resolution to donate $5,000 to those suffering from the Rock Creek/Westbridge Wildfire. The funds will be directed to the Unmet Needs Committee. This Committee has been created to support those residents impacted by the Fire in cooperation with the Canadian Red Cross, support agencies and area representatives. Bears Wildsafe BC Castlegar coordinator Jenny Wallace made a presentation to council updating them on the present bear situation in town. Sightings and conflicts are up this year, mostly due to hot dry weather and the poor huckleberry crop. Most of the conflicts have revolved around fruit and garbage. Wallace emphasized the importance of managing attractants. With fruit crops ripening early, the bears have arrived in town and unpicked fruit is causing a lot of the problems. One bear was even hit by
a car in Robson last week as it was eating unpicked fruit. Councilor Deb McIntosh responded by commenting that staff should be encouraged to take a more aggressive role in ticketing those who put their garbage or recycling out early. “No more warnings, I think tickets need to be issued because it is such a bad year,” said McIntosh. “It’s about keeping people safe.” Wallace also encouraged council to strive towards becoming a Bear Smart community, a program that has been designed by the Ministry of Environment in partnership with the British Columbia Conservation Foundation and the Union of British Columbia Municipalities.
and acknowledge those citizens who take the time to care for the city and its citizens and who take pride in calling Castlegar their home. Residents can submit a letter or email the City of Castlegar detailing the gesture and nominating a Good Samaritan to be entered in a draw for $250. Nomination deadline will be set for November 30 of each year with the draw to take place at a council meeting in December. To be eligible a nominee must be a resident of Castlegar.
Skate club grant Council approved a $500 grant to the Castlegar Skate Club out of the city’s grants line item to assist with the costs associated with hosting the West Kootenay Invitational Skate Canada Figure Skating Competition in Castlegar December 4-6, 2015. At present time there is $4,830 remaining in the grant budget line item.
Building permits and business licences As of the end of August, building permits are still up drastically over last year. Year to date figures show 164 permits have been issued valued at $10.4 million compared to 100 permits last year valued at $3.8 million for the same period. “It speaks well for the healthiness of our community and what is going on here, that people are still willing to invest here,” said Councilor Kevin Chernoff. The business license report shows figures very similar to last year with an increase of just one.

Castlegar’s French program expanding CHELSEA NOVAK Castlegar News
The Canadian Parents for French recently circulated a press release celebrating record-breaking French immersion enrollment in the Kootenay Columbia area, but Bill Ford, assistant superintendent for School District No. 20, says the press release isn’t really looking at the context behind the numbers. “What they do is they just track pure numbers. They don’t know the districts story at all,” said Ford. Though the district’s French immersion enrollment is up, it’s because the district has been significantly expanding its French immersion programs. Historically the French immersion program in the district has been a late immersion program for grades six to twelve. That program began in Castlegar and was expanded to Rossland four years ago for kids in grades six to nine. Since each Rossland class has approximately 30 students each, that means that the program has expanded by 30 students each year over the past four years, as the first group of grade sixes moved on to grade seven and a new group started the program in grade six, etc. Now that the first group has reached grade nine, the program will no longer be growing by 30 students each year, and should level off. “For a small district like us, that was a significant
increase,” said Ford. The district also just launched a two-year trial early immersion program in Castlegar this September with 22 kindergarden students, and will take on another 22 students next year. “Next year the board will decide whether or not they’re going to support an early french immersion program full on,” said Ford. “So we’ll examine what have the learning outcomes been, how have the kids been handling the early program, is there still lots of interest in supporting the early program, and the board will decide whether or not the program is going to continue.” If the early immersion program continues, then the late immersion program will be fazed out once this year’s kindergardeners reach grade six. Asked whether or not the french immersion program has had any impact on the Russian program, Ford responded, “The board is proud that we offer three language programs in the north end of the district. It’s proud of the history ... of the Russian bilingual program, and its proud of the excitement and enthusiasm around its new early french immersion program.” “These two programs don’t compete,” Ford continued. “The board is equally supportive of both programs and continues to work at ensuring that those programs will continue to operate.”

The Navigational Lock at the Hugh L. Keenleyside Dam will be closed from Friday, September 25 to Monday, October 12. The lock will reopen at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, October 13. This closure is necessary to undertake infrastructure upgrades which will ensure the long-term,
Voter turnout challenge accepted Betsy Kline Castlegar News
Castlegar city council has passed a resolution to join the Community Voters Challenge. “The City of Castlegar looks forward to joining in this worthwhile initiative to increase awareness and ultimately increase voter turnout during the upcoming Federal Election,” said Mayor Lawrence Chernoff in a statement. The Community Voters Challenge is a citizens’ initiative intended to increase voter turnout for the federal election to be held on October 19, 2015. The goal is to foster community spirit and democratic involvement through creative and imaginative ways. So far Castlegar, Nelson, Fernie, Nakusp, Kaslo, Grand Forks and Regional District of Central Kootenay Areas D, E and F have joined the challenge and organizers expect to add more communities to the list soon. Basically, the organizers will calculate the percentage of voter turnout for each participating community and compare it to the turnout from the 2011 federal election. The community that shows the largest increase wins. For the purposes of this contest, Castlegar had a turnout of 59%, a figure calculated using stats from regular and advance voting polls. The idea is truly a grassroots nonpartisan one conceived by a group of Nelson citizens, and then brought to fruition by city and district councils and community groups. Organizer Mike Chapman said the idea was to
instill some enthusiasm and excitement around the electoral process. “When people vote they feel empowered, which then empowers the entire community,” said Chapman. To support the challenge, the Castlegar and District Library in partnership with the City of Castlegar has put in place a plan to assist with voter registration. Councillor Deb Macintosh, who raised the idea at the September 8 city council meeting said, “The turnout for the last federal election was 59%. Come on Castlegar, we can do better than that! We want everyone’s voice to be heard. We are partnering with the Library since it’s a hub in our community.” “The Library will be providing dedicated computers for people to register to vote, as well as one-on-one assistance from staff and volunteers,” said Library Director Heather Maisel. “For those who are ineligible to register online, we are offering our phone, copier, printing and fax or mailing to help get them registered.” Assistance will be available at the library from September 21through October 10 on Mondays from 3-5 p.m., Tuesdays 5-8 p.m., Wednesdays 10 a.m.-12 p.m., Thursdays 2-5 p.m. and Saturdays 2-4 p.m. The schedule is posted on the library’s website. No appointment is necessary just bring your driver’s license or other ID showing your address. In addition, Elections Canada will be sending two representatives to the library on September 30 from noon until 7 p.m. to register people to vote.

letter to the editor
In this federal election the future of Canada and its role on the world stage is at a crossroads. We are faced with problems and opportunities that are complex and far reaching in their scope. For example, our role in a national economic strategy, climate change, energy dependency and new energy development, national sovereignty and related international trade agreements, international affairs, the refugee crises, food security, healthcare, education and unemployment, to name only a few. The great and complex problems that we must deal with require input, discussion, negotiation and debate from a broad range of viewpoints. We are a nation of many and varied back-
grounds, viewpoints and ideologies. This is not a weakness, as Canadians this is our strength. The ability to negotiate and draw upon new and innovative solutions to challenges is a principle of democracy. Unfortunately our federal government under Stephan Harper has failed to draw upon this resource and is leading us dangerously towards a one man rule. This cannot serve any interest fairly as it represents a narrow viewpoint and it betrays fair democratic representation. As a nation we can and must do better than this. I call upon all Canadians to involve themselves in this vital election. Democracy is not a spectator sport. Dave Carter Castlegar

Edward’s son Bryan embraced aviation for a career, while John’s son Denis had no interest in his father’s financial empire and instead embraced the arts. Seen here in his crib, Denis in adulthood became an authority on Italian Baroque painters and acquired an amazing personal collection, which he endowed to the various museums in the UK. He fought for free admission to the British museums. Denis was honoured by various awards for his work, including knighthood in 1986. He died April 24, 2011 at the age of 100.

Animals taking over We’ v e been away traveling most of the summer. So when we arrived home, we expected a dried-out lawn, a few dead flowers, and tree branches scattered Gord Turner across the yard. After a hot, dry summer, the rains arrived a few days before we returned, so we felt lucky that our yard had begun to re-green. We were not lucky, though, in our visitors while we were away. A big black-brown bear had es-

tablished visiting rights. And rightly so, I suppose, because our magnificent plums ripened early this year, and because we were not there to pick them, this bear claimed them all (or most of them). How do I know that? Well, bears leave their calling cards not far from where they’ve been gorging on fruit and vegetables. In our case, this well-fed bear left five piles of waste near the plum tree and over by the grape vines. So, I grabbed a shovel and cleaned, scraped, and disposed of the lumpy messes. With no plums left to shake to the earth and only a few dried husks at the base of the tree, I decided I’d seen the last of that bear. I felt I’d re-staked my claim to the yard by cleaning up all signs

of the bear. Ha, little did I know! The next morning I opened the door to my front yard and there, not 10 meters away, was a fresh pile of bear scat. It’s as if the bear knew I wanted it gone and decided to leave a message: “You don’t get rid of this bear that easily.” Later, I’m wandering about the yard, estimating which part of the lawn to mow first when the rains come to a halt. I come upon an area of the lawn that’s peppered with small holes about the size of quarters and loonies. I’ve seen these punctures before—the result of nightly forays by skunks or raccoons seeking June bugs and grubs. What a mess these animals make until they run out of bugs to dig up. Two summers ago, I decided

to stay up all night so that I could see the culprits enter my yard and begin digging with their tiny paws. I was curious as to which animal—skunk or raccoon—dug the holes. But I fell asleep on the deck and woke with the sun in my eyes—none the wiser. During the dry part of yesterday, I sat in my yard chair overlooking what’s left of the garden. It was cool, but quite pleasant, and various images began to take over my mind. At one point, I floated beside a whiteness of 30 or so swans, exactly like the swans alongside the cruise boat on our recent Danube river trip in Europe. I was drifting asleep, dreaming a bit, and then I heard one of these swans utter “gobblegobble.” I awoke with a start
and shrank in horror as 30 or so wild turkeys (young and old, small and big) sauntered across the lawn between me and the garden. I yelled at the rafter of turkeys, but they looked toward me indifferently and continued their slow traverse. A few of them stopped briefly to drop white pellets behind them. A new set of calling cards—fresh versions of the dry white pellets I’d discovered days earlier and didn’t know what they were. Now I’ve begun another cleanup of the yard. My hope is to convince the wild turkeys not to locate a thoroughfare across my lawn. If they get too used to the route, they’ll want to stop and feed—and I don’t have much left for these gobblers to devour.

Cole Stanbra is a name already well known to many Castlegar residents. Last week the professional figure skater was honoured with a place on the Wall of Fame at the Castlegar and District Community Complex. “I am very honoured and I just want to say thank you to Castlegar for always supporting me and to my family and friends,” said Stanbra at the unveiling ceremony. Stanbra’s photo will take its place next to those of Steve Junker, Travis Green, Darcy Martini, Dane Jackson, Shawn Horcoff and other Castlegar natives who have made the cut into the realm of professional athletics. Manager of recreation at the Complex, Jim Crock-
ett, shared the purpose of the Wall of Fame, “Our wall of fame is a real important feature for our community because it gives us an opportunity to celebrate the achievements our athletes.” Stanbra was successful in many competitions at the regional, provincial and national levels before being recruited in 2008 by Willy Bietek Productions to perform as a principal soloist of international cruise ships. Since then he has been cruising the seas, performing four shows a week on various ships in the Royal Caribbean line. In October Stanbra starts a new route that will sail out of Singapore and travel to South Korea and Thailand. Performances are on sea days, so he has enjoyed exploring many ports of call during his travels. The text on the plaque sums up Stanbra’s hard work and reward, “Starting from Castlegar with his never-ending dedication, enthusiasm and determination, Cole has reached for the stars and is living and skating his dream.”
I am very honoured and I just want to say thank you to Castlegar for always supporting me

Take Back the night is an international annual event which is locally organized by Castlegar’s Violence Against Women in Relationships (VAWIR) committee. The march will be held Thursday, Oct 1 at 5:30 p.m. The march will be from Canadian Tire to Safeway with the presenations taking part atSafeway. This is a community march in support of women’s and children’s safety. Everyone in the community is encouraged to join. The march began in the early 1970s in Europe as a way to protest the violence that women experienced while walking in public at night. The purpose of these marches was to speak out against this violence and raise community awareness as a preventive measure against future violence. The mission of Take Back the Night has since grown to encompass all forms of violence against all persons, though sexual violence against women is still a top focus. The word night was originally meant to be taken literally to express the fear that many women feel during the night and has since changed to symbolize a fear of violence in general, including feminist concerns such as domestic violence and sexual abuse within the home. While many think the West Kootenay is safe, the
statistics show otherwise for women. Every year in B.C. there are over 60,000 physical or sexual assaults against women — almost all of which are committed by men. Only 12 per cent of sexual assaults against women are reported to the police. (Statistics Canada 2009). One in three women will be sexually assaulted in her lifetime. (Statistics Canada. Measuring Violence Against Women: Statistical Trends 2006). According to police-reported data for 2010, there were almost 99,000 victims of family violence, accounting for one-quarter (25 per cent) of all victims of violent crime. Almost an equal proportion of these family violence victims were spouses (49 percent) or other types of family members, such as children, parents, siblings or extended family members (51 percent). Unlike other forms of violent crimes, females had more than double the risk of males of becoming a victim of police-reported family violence (407 victims per 100,000 population versus 180 victims per 100,000). Join us on Thursday, Oct 1 at 5:30 p.m. for the march from Canadian Tire to Safeway. Following the march are speakers, presentations and entertainment. Bring noise makers, signs, banners, etc. Call Lora at 250-365-2104 for more information.

After awarding financial prizes to high school students in our region for almost three decades, the Phil Malekow Peace Award’s final donation is to the Selkirk College Mir Centre for Peace. Earlier this month a cheque was presented to Mir Centre for Peace chair Randy Janzen (left) by (L-R) Elaine Malekow, Steve Malekow and Edna Sapriken.
Malekow Family Supports Selkirk College’s Unarmed Civilian Peacekeeping Program A freak accident involving a firearm took the life of a young Castlegar man almost 33 years ago, but the legacy of Philip Mark Malekow continues to this day. On September 26, 1982, Malekow and a friend were out for a Sunday drive when they picked up a pair of female hitchhikers. After they dropped the passengers off at their destination, Malekow discovered that one of them left behind a purse. The two friends went back to look for the two hitchhikers and came upon a group of hunters in a truck. As they were talking to the hunters, one of their guns went off inside the truck and the bullet went through the vehicle’s door. Metal fragments from the shot went into Malekow’s heart and he died instantly at the age of 21. Malekow had graduated from Mount Sentinel Secondary and had achieved his millwright foundation certificate from Selkirk College in 1981. He was a pacifist, brought up in a Doukhobor tradition opposed to violence. “To ensure that his death not be meaningless and for the cause of peace and love, our mother [Polly Malekow] raised money to establish an award fund in his memory,” said Phil’s older brother Steve Malekow. “The award’s intent was to provide financial assistance for students who are concerned about issues of peace and non-violence.” For almost three decades, financial awards were presented to Grade 12 students graduating from Mount Sentinel, Stanley Humphries and Grand Forks Secondary. Students applied for the Phil Malekow Peace Award by writing an innovative and original essay focused on awareness of the consequences involved in owning and using fire-

arms. Special merit was awarded to students who described their personal efforts in promoting peace. Earlier this year, the decision was made to wrap up the fund and provide the remainder to the Selkirk College Mir Centre for Peace. The family presented a cheque for $660 to Randy Janzen, the Mir Centre for Peace chairperson. “We knew they would continue with a cause my brother and my family believe in,” Steve Malekow said earlier this month. “We feel honoured to see how many people this peace award has touched over the years and it has gotten more people thinking about the idea of peace. Phil’s death was not in vain.” The donation by the Malekow family will be used for a bursary aimed at bringing international students to Castlegar for the upcoming Unarmed Civilian Peacekeeping Program which begins in January, 2016. The program—which is open to everyone in the region—is the first of its kind in Canada and has been developed in partnership with the Nonviolent Peaceforce with a goal of strengthening the effort to deploy professionally prepared unarmed civilians to assist areas of violent conflict. “We very much appreciate this donation,” said Janzen. “We will ensure that the funds are used in a way that will further the cause of what Phil Malekow believed in.” Selkirk College is hosting a fundraising dinner for the Unarmed Civilian Peacekeeping Program at the Brilliant Cultural Centre on September 26. The evening will include a traditional borsch dinner and admission to the Parfaite Ntahuba Mir Lecture that follows. You can find out more about this unique and exciting evening by going to selkirk. ca or calling 250.365.1288.

International Mountaineering legend Ian Welsted to speak at Kootenay Rock Climbing Festival The Kootenay Rock Climbing Festival is pleased to announce Canadian mountaineering legend Ian Welsted will be guest speaking at the event being held Sunday, September 20 in Robson. Welsted, who now resides in Golden, has innumerable alpine and rock climbing ascents to his credit around the world including the first ascent of K6 West in Pakistan for which he won the coveted P’iot D’or award. Organized by TAWKROC (the Association of West Kootenay Rock Climbers), the Kootenay Climbing Festival is now entering its fourth year and will be held 2-9 p.m. by the natural rock climbing wall behind the Lions Head Pub. During the day there will be: • zipline for the kids • slackline • door prize draw • top-ropes on the 11 rock climbing routes located on the natural rock wall • silent auction • and the always popular Tower of Power competition, which sees competitors try to stack the most number of milk crates while standing on them.
The Lion’s Head has a family dining license which means kids can come and go from the restaurant anytime before 7 p.m. (Children must be accompanied by an adult.) Everyone young and old are welcome at the festival and there is no coverage charge although, as this is a fundraiser to help new outdoor route development, donations are greatly appreciated. TAWKROC was established in 2009 to help promote outdoor rock climbing in the Kootenay region by organizing work parties to improve rock climbing areas, both for locals and tourists, and by offering a bolt fund for climbing developers. Every year the organization reimburses climbers who spend time and money putting up new rock climbs in the area. In 2012, TAWKROC became a chapter of the Climbing Access Society of British Columbia and its directors are now committed to ensuring various climbing areas in the Kootenays remain accessible for all. For more information about TAWKROC or the Kootenay Climbing Festival, please contact director Vince Hempsall at vhempsall@accesssociety.ca or call 250-354-7535.

More people will be sleeping on the street in Castlegar Saturday night than usual. A group of people will be spending the night by the tracks in downtown Castlegar as part of a fundraiser to help raise money and awareness for the Castlegar Community Harvest Food Bank. They are hoping to help address poverty, hunger and homelessness in Castlegar. Participants already include several city council members and an RCMP officer who will be at the tracks behind the Station Museum from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. but more people are welcome to join. The event is part of a challenge between Castlegar and Trail, where a similar event is taking place, to see which community can raise the most funds. Those planning on spending the night are raising funds through pledges. If you are not sleeping by the tracks, but still want to make a donation, feel free to drop off your monetary donation on the day of the event or any time at the Station Museum. The food bank is
presently in need of a financial boost. “Our numbers are up. With out money we are not able to provide any of the services we do,” said organizer Deb McIntosh. “Bring your money. We want to be able to continue to provide things like the shelter, emergency services... the services that we have been providing.” Another way to support the cause is to show up for the chili cookup between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. You can have a bowl of chili and a bun for a minimum donation of $5. At 9 p.m. there will be a bonfire wiener roast and a chance to talk about issues that people living in poverty face. McIntosh emphasized that homeless looks different in Castlegar than it does in a big city. “Homelessness in Castlegar is real,” she said. “Ours are couch surfing and going from friend to friend... grown children who are still depending on their parents, because life is hard sometimes.” “We need to help these people who are down on their luck,” continued McIntosh. “If everybody gave a little bit, then no one would have to go without.”

Rebels begin season with a win Chelsea Novak Castlegar News
The Castlegar Rebels won their first regular season game against the Fernie Ghostriders on Friday. The Rebels got off to an early lead in the first period with Morgan Scriber scoring the first goal. The Ghostriders responded in the second period with a goal of their own, briefly tying up the game, but then the Rebels went on to score another two goals, the first scored by Castlegar’s own Darren Medeiros playing centre and the second scored by wingman Tayden Woods. The Ghostriders scored once more early in the third period, but couldn’t manage a third goal against goalie Joe Mcleod to tie things up, and the Rebels won 3-2. “I attribute the win to everybody just working hard tonight,” said coach Jesse Dorrans after the game. “With a younger squad our work ethic has to come out hard from the gate, and we did a great job, but I

really gotta tip my hat to Joseph Mcleod. He made some big saves at the end of the game there, and it gave us the win.” Mcleod is 17 years old and new to the team this year. He came from the Vernon Vipers camp and moved in with his billet family the day before the game. “I thought we had a really good first period,” Mcleod said after the game. “I thought, you know, our legs were moving, we were getting pucks deep, and we were making it really tough on their d. We got that one goal that really sparked our bench.” The Rebels also played the Kelowna Chiefs on Sunday, in what ended up being a tie game at 3-3. Asked what he thought his team could work on for that game beforehand, Mcloed said, “You know I think it’s just crisper passes. You know when it was getting late in the period there, guys were kind of feeling nerves coming on, and I think if we kind of harness that energy and put it in the right places, I think we’ll really fit into the game as it progresses.”

Gertrude Konkin
Mar 20, 1922 - Sept 18, 2014 MOTHER A Mother’s warm hug, how eternal it lasts, The feeling remains long after she’s passed. You close your eyes and remember her there, The calm of her voice, the smell of her hair. A Mother’s enduring Love, so unending and strong, Makes the worst of our troubles seem like nothing is wrong. And though she’s been called off to a much better place, That Love is still felt like a warm embrace. How we wish you were still here to help show the way, And your presence is missed each and every day. But we know in our hearts and believe that it’s true, That your spirit is still a part in all that we do. So for all you’ve done without asking anything in return, Your boundless devotion is the lesson we’ve learned. In this 1st year that has passed since you’ve left for above, Know in your Soul that we’ve missed you & send you our Love
FATHER Theres’s a special kind of feeling When we think about you, Dad. It’s a pleasure to remember All the happy times we had. There’s a special kind of caring That’s meant for you alone. There’s a place somewhere Within our hearts That only you can own. Missed and Forever Loved. Your daughters, son-in-laws, grandchildren and great grandchildren

She was happy working in her flower gardens at the homes in which she lived in Trail, Castlegar, Genelle, Naramata, Cranbrook and Kamloops. Mom loved music and singing in choirs. She also enjoyed travelling with family and friends to explore new places. Most of all, Mom treasured time spent with her family. The family would like to extend their gratitude to Dr. Keith Merritt, Dr. Nathan Dalla Lana, and the Drs., nurses and staff of the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital, Grand Forks Boundary Hospital and Ivy House in Grand Forks for their compassionate care of our mother. Thank you to the residents and staff of Castlewood Retirement Home for their friendships with Mom. A special thank you is extended to Mom’s companion, Alex Taranko, for all his care and kindness towards her. As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC (#4-1551 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 9M9). A service was held in celebration of Joan’s life on Saturday, September 12, 2015 at 11:00am in St. David’s Anglican Church, 614 Christina Place, Castlegar, with The Reverend Elizabeth Huether officiating. Reception followed in the church hall. Final resting place at the Mountain View Cemetery in Rossland.

Timothy Michael Ribalkin On Sunday, August 30, 2015, our father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Timothy Ribalkin, passed away peacefully at Castleview Care Centre with family by his side. He was 95 years young. Tim was born in Ootischenia on November 1, 1919 to parents Martha and Michael and big brother Fred. When he was 8 years old, the family moved to Perry’s Siding, where he attended school until grade 7. In 1939, Tim married his lifelong love, Polly Kalmakoff, and in the years to come they raised five daughters. During this time, he worked at many jobs, notably for the Hadikin Brothers at their sawmill and in his later years as a carpenter with Verigin Industries. Tim loved music, singing, reading and engaging in conversations about the latest happenings in the news and recalling stories and people from years gone by with great clarity and accuracy. Tim was a man of great faith and dedication. He loved his family, especially his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and would always try to participate in all their events and activities, being extremely proud of who they were and what they had accomplished. He will be greatly missed. Tim is predeceased by his parents Martha and Michael, brother Fred, daughter Nina, wife Polly, son-in-law Harry and daughter Katie. He leaves behind his daughters Margy (Harry) Bojey and family, Winnie Plotnikoff and family, Naida (Peter) Nazaroff and family, son-in-law Jim Laktin and family, grandsons Corey Hoodikoff and family and Mark Hoodikoff. He was blessed with 14 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, many nieces, nephews, cousins and countless friends and acquaintances. Funeral Services were officiated by Harry Zeabin at the Castlegar Funeral Chapel on Friday, September 4, 2015, followed by interment at Perry’s Siding Cemetery and a luncheon at Krestova Hall. Our heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Castleview Care Center, Dr. Merrit, Bill Strilaeff , Peter Zaytsoff and staff at Castlegar Funeral Chapel and Harry Zeabin for their excellent service. Also a big thank you to the harmonious and inspiring singers, the strong gravediggers, the exceptional cooks, everyone who attended the service and those who phoned, sent cards, flowers or gifts. Your support was greatly appreciated!

CONTEST! Congrats to our winner, Lis Hoole!
Lis has won 12 sessions of KMI Structural Integration therapy with Katherine Donovan of Spectrum Massage. Two days after my third session i woke up with zero pain in my left foot. I was astonished. I had to walk around trying to feel some kind of pain and thankfully there still wasn’t any to find. At that point, i had to text Katherine the great news and thank her. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not a 100% healed, but it’s no longer the feeling of pain I feel. The change is this realignment of my foot and it feels good and awkward all at once. I have also noticed positive changes in my posture, flexibility and most of all there is no longer a crack each time I lift my right arm.
KATHERINE DONOVAN
After the first two sessions there is visible ease in Lis’ body. Session 3 looked at connecting the first two by working with the Lateral lines of the body. This is where we get to open the body’s sides and encourage the lateral expansion of the rib cage with breath. We dealt with the areas of the Peroneal fascia and Iliotibial tract (outsides of the lower and upper leg) which connects foot and pelvis. The
upper body region continues from the pelvis (Quadratus Lumborum) up through the Abdominal Obliques and Intercostal muscles, up into the axilla (arm pit) and then right up into the neck (Scalene muscles). We definitely noted much restriction in the right side upper axilla. Moving into session 4, the Spiral line and last of the “Superficial” sessions, we again noted more ease and balance between the sides. The goal of the session is ease any rotations, balance
the position of the shoulder blade, and help balance the arches of the foot and pelvic tilt. Key structures of this session are the Rhomboids and Serratus Anterior connections, the Abdominal Obliques, and in the lower leg the Tibialis Anterior and Peroneals. For Lis, restricted areas were the right Rhombo-Serratus connection, and the left lower leg. Next sessions will address the “core” of the body which is primarily responsible for stabilization via the Deep Front Line.

The Castlegar Aquanauts were represented by seven swimmers; Claire Cartwright, Avery Cooke, Cayden Cooke, Emma Lawczynski, Ethan Lawczynski, Ethan Marshall and James Marshall. “Just qualifying for Provincials is a big deal,” said Aquanauts cocoach Michaella Yang. Once at the Provincial meet, swimmers then have to go through qualifying heats in order to gain a place in the finals. When qualifying heats are com-
pleted, only the 16 strongest swimmers in the province compete in the finals. Aquanaut swimmers distinguished themselves with 18 total finals appearances and a multitude of personal best times. “We were so proud of their best times” said co-coach Laura Zevenhuizen. “As a coach, you want your swimmers to peak on the biggest stage, and we could not have asked for more from this group.” In total, the Aquanauts brought home seven provincial medals and two fourth place finishes. “When you put that in context of a provincial competition, the results are staggering” said Yang, “especially considering that we compete with some clubs on the mainland and in the Okanagan
whose memberships count in the hundreds of swimmers.” “I think what strikes me the most is how our swimmers were able to continually surpass their best times right through the qualifying heats and into the finals” added Zevenhuizen. With the competitive portion of the season over, the Castlegar Aquanauts swim club will now turn their attention to their fall and winter maintenance sessions. The Club will run swim sessions twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays at the Castlegar and District Recreational Centre starting in September and running until April and new swimmers are certainly welcome.

“Neighbours Helping Neighbours”
Seven Castlegar Aquanauts have what it takes continued from page 20
“That’s the great thing about summer swim you can use it for training to be a competitive swimmer, but we also have swimmers who do it as a means to become a more confident recreational swimmer or for cross training purposes
to simply stay in shape. In other words, all kids are welcome. It’s a non-intimidating atmosphere to become a better swimmer and have fun at the same time,” said Paulette Lawczynski, the club Registrar. Individual Aquanaut swimmers were recognized at the Annual Awards Banquet held in

Coins for Change
August. All of the aquanauts worked so hard this year and we recognize this hard work and dedication by giving out awards. These awards all have very special meanings and we could not be more proud of the swimmers that received each one.

So you’ve made your will and named your executor.
BUT IS YOUR ESTATE
PREPARED?
7 out of 10 executors report their experience as highly stressful
Only you (will-writer) can prevent this Do you know how high the probate fee will be? Should you jointly-own your home to avoid probate? What are the dangers of that strategy? What struggles aggravate executors the most? What simple steps can you take now to avoid them? Will your executor have to deal with capital gains taxes? Is it more difficult for family if the cremation or burial wasn’t preplanned?
