Lifestyle GALLERY 2’S ANNUAL WINE-TASTING EVENT A SELLOUT The Grand Forks Art Gallery Society’s 24th Annual Wine Tasting was a sell-out as usual, with 225 people vying for tickets to the prestigious event. Fourteen wineries and two breweries were represented this year, along with regional food and coffee presenters. Pictured is a representative from the Oliver Twist Estate Winery of Oliver, B.C. Harpist Jennifer Fenn performed upstairs in the beautifully decorated gallery, an historical building; a special thank you goes to Bill Fedoriw of Grand Forks, who donated some 50 hours to the gallery creating two vignettes for the stairwells. The event concluded with safe rides home offered by the grad class of 2016. Photo by Della Mallette

Kiesza rocks the Kootenays WILL JOHNSON West Kootenay Advertiser

During rehearsals for Kiesza’s gala performance at Selkirk College’s Mary Hall this past weekend, the global pop star urged music student Ash Pearce to come forward to the lip of the stage and “own her solo.” “Kiesza is a great songwriter, she produces great songs, but what really sets her apart is she’s a great person who knows how to relate to people,” Selkirk College’s Bob Hall told the Star. “And this is what’s going to stick out to me forever: this gal Ash, she seems a little shy. She wants to be in the background and she’s a great guitarist. All of a sudden Kiesza tells her ‘you need to come up front and own this solo’. She told her ‘you have to be a guitar God’.” When Hall saw the final performance at Mary Hall on Saturday evening, he was thrilled to see Pearce giving it her all. “She came to tell students how to be successful and what it’s like. She came to touch lives, and she did that with this individual.” And Pearce wasn’t the only one who benefitted from Kiesza’s personal attention. “During the rehearsal the band was just

sort of jamming, and suddenly she appeared from backstage while they were performing her song and she joined right in. It was so raucous as soon as she came in, the level of their performance immediately went up, and it was totally improvised. She was singing along, jumping up and down.” Not only leading by example, on Friday afternoon the pop star sat down in Shambhala Hall to talk music along with her dog Ginga, who was startled by the applause and had to wait outside. “There has never been a better time to make it as a musician,” she said. “But you have to learn how to really love working hard.” Selkirk music instructor Gilles Parenteau praised his former student, who he performed with on Good Morning America earlier this year. He praised Kiesza’s work ethic and encouraged them to follow her example. “Who here knows who’s charting?” Kiesza asked, to only a smattering of hands. “All of you should know exactly who’s charting at all times. You should be looking at this stuff daily. If you don’t know what’s popular, then how can you hope to be successful?” She had strong words for anyone who

doesn’t consider pop music “real music”. “It is real music. And that’s the sort of attitude that will get you nowhere. When you get out into the industry it’s about who will work hard, who will show up for rehearsal on time, and if you go into a room acting like you’re better than everyone you’re not going to make it far.” Kiesza was in town with her parents, and posted a number of Kootenay images to her Instagram account. She flew in Tuesday from New York City then left again Monday morning. “A big part of Kiesza’s intent in coming was to reconnect with Nelson,” he said. Hall was amazed that during an autograph signing Kiesza refused to leave until she’d greeted each and everybody in line. “She said ‘I’m going to see every single person in this lineup’. For her the last person in the lineup is more important to her than the first person, and she has that same energy from the first person right to the last. She hugged every person, spelled out the kids’ names—correctly—and that’s not easy to do in

Nelson.” T h a t afternoon she performed her viral single “Hideaway” as well as a rousing cover of Hozier’s “Take Me to Church” before inviting two birthday girls on the stage. “She had identified two birthday girls in the audience and she had everyone sing happy birthday. Those girls will never forget something like that.” The global pop star spent the weekend performing and meeting with students at Selkirk College.

Model railroaders set up in Waneta Plaza

A group of model train aficionados are once again putting their passion on display for shoppers at Trail’s Waneta Plaza. “The kids love it the first time they see it, and it makes a good babysitter for dads, when the moms are out shopping,” chuckled Bob Flegel, one of the founders of the Golden City Railway Modellers. “But a lot of people are still finding out about our spot in the mall.” Among the variety of amazing displays is a detailed replica of Rossland during the railroad heydays. It took plenty of research over four years, steady hands and occasionally a magnifying glass before retirees Bob Flegel and Don Young finished the historical model of Rossland and the trains that chugged through town until the 1950s. Since completing the Alpine City replica in 2010, the model has traveled to Edmonton and Kamloops twice, Calgary, and up

the hill to Rossland three times for the city’s fall fair. “In Edmonton we won second place twice,” said Flegel. “Lego won first, some of those models are really something to see. But wherever we take it, people love it and it has also won the popular vote.” The modellers began construction of the Rossland replica in the back room of a wine shop. By 2009, business and space be-

came an issue and the project was ready to move. That’s when Linda McDiarmid, Waneta Mall manager, stepped in and made them an offer to use the empty space next to the children’s ballroom. Since then, the club meets twice a week in the food court to shoot the breeze and maintain the display that is open to the public Wednesday and Saturday 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.

The Trail/Castlegar Registered Music Teachers’ Branch celebrated Canada Music Week on Monday, Nov.16 with a student recital featuring Canadian compositions. The evening concluded with local students receiving branch awards for the highest practical and theoretical marks in their respective exams. The award winners are as follows: The Helen Dahlstrom Practical Awards — Grade 1: Oliver Clement; Grade 2: Sofia Maturo; Grade 3: Levana Lemelin; Grade 4: Jessica Zwick; Grade 5: Kaleb Wight; Grade 6: Caleb Kavaloff; Grade 7: Hannah

Klemmensen; and Grade 9: Sing Hui Ling. The Dora Tweeddale Theory Awards – Basic Rudiments: Rachel Aiken; Intermediate Rudiments: Caleb Kavaloff; Advanced Rudiments: Sing Hui Ling; Basic Harmony: Sing Hui Ling; and History 1: Lisa Leffelaar. The Margaret Purdy Scholarship for a student continuing studies at the senior level was presented to Sing Hui Ling. Finally, Levana Lemelin was acknowledged for receiving the Conservatory Canada Medal of Excellence for her Grade 3 Classical piano exam, and Caleb Kavaloff for receiving the Conservatory Canada Medal of Excellence for his Grade 6 Contemporary Idioms piano exam.

Castlegar Hospital Foundation set to light up Health Centre CHELSEA NOVAK West Kootenay Advertiser

The Castlegar and District Hospital Foundation will hold its annual Light Up event on Friday, Dec. 4. The event will be held at the Castlegar Health Centre from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. to raise money for the centre. “We’re going to be decorating the main lobby and we’re going to have our gold thermometer up there, and hopefully will be getting it to rise in figures,” said Stefanie Zaytsoff, CDHF office manager. Money raised will go towards renovations to the medication room in the

Emergency Department. The medication room needs to have, you know, a proper mixing space, it needs to have proper storage, and we haven’t done any renovations to that particular area for a long time,” said Cheryl Whittleton, Interior Health’s community integrated health service administrator. “So you know there’s standards that we have to meet, and you know, recognizing that we’re moving ahead to bring the storage of medications up to that standard.” Any additional fund raised this year will go towards areas of greatest need. Directors will be on hand at the event

to chat and there will be examples of purchases from previous years’ events. Last year the foundation raised over $14,000 towards a new VAC Therapy system. “That’s a machine that helps patients that have complex wounds,” explains Whittleton. There will be coffee, cider and goodies for those who stop by. Donations can be made on the spot, online at castlegarhospitalfoundation.org or by mail at 709 10 St., Castlegar, BC, V1N 2H7. The foundation will be collecting donations through January and official tax receipts will be issued by mail.

The sole aim of the Boundary’s Community Christmas Hamper Program is to make the holiday season just a little bit brighter for families in need. The program covers an area from Christina Lake to Bridesville. There are pick-up spots in the West Boundary: Evangel Church in Greenwood, The Bridge in Midway and Petro-Can in Rock Creek. The program sets out to provide food for three satisfying holiday meals on Christmas Day, some socks, mitts, hats, toothpaste, toothbrushes and floss for every person who applies for a hamper. There is no one specific sponsor of this community group. People are invited to be workers on teams that put on fundraisers throughout the year.

food for the hampers, and special groups and ordinary people alike donate as well in the spirit of giving. Every cent raised is spent right here in the Boundary. Volunteers pre-pack vegetables, eggs and margarine and another group of volunteers packs the food items into the hamper boxes. The program also provides specialty foods for people with food sensitivities so that no one is forgotten. Yet another group of volunteers coordinate the donated toys with the wish list on the hamper sheets. Others aid people in picking up their hampers or delivering those hampers for those who cannot get out to do so. Many people feel that the Community Christmas Hamper Program is part of the Boundary Community Food Bank and this is not so. People register for the hampers at the food bank and Whispers

of Hope and various service agencies in town, but that is the extent of their involvement. The Gospel Chapel generously allows program volunteers to use their kitchen for fundraisers and pre-packing of food, and the use of their fellowship hall to set up foods, pack and then organize the hampers ready for pick up or delivery. It takes many kind-hearted individuals and groups to oversee and make successful the assembling of nearly 300 hampers each year. The Community Christmas Hamper program gets an incredible outpouring of support from local businesses and individuals to help make these hampers the nutritious and fun gifts to families in need. It truly is a community working together to bring comfort, some tangible love and support to those less fortunate at Christmas time.

Arts

Toronto artist shows work from the Boundary SUBMIT TED Titled “Before the Fire”, the most recent exhibit of works by Toronto multi-media artist Fred Franzen, opened on Saturday, Nov. 21, at Toronto’s Rebecca Gallery. Inspired by the Boundary country of British Columbia this exhibition “is dedicated to the people of the valley that lost their homes and belonging during August of 2015.” Adds Franzen, “My work reflects what was and what will be again.” While staying in the Boundary this past summer Franzen, who has, in his extensive career, worked with many communities in Canada and abroad to create community art, hosted a Painting Party at the Westbridge Community Hall. A number of residents and summer visitors brought their creative energy and immersed themselves in working (and having fun) together making an innovative, abstract community map using a large sheet of recycled plywood, smooth creamy-textured drywall mud and lots of colour. Every detail was included, particularly locating the homes of everyone from Rock

Creek to Westbridge. The final work was donated to the Westbridge Community Hall. Franzen created many water-colour sketches of the valley and in his Toronto studio he later copied several of those sketches onto large canvasses. The work titled “Gold Mountain Pink” — a view looking south of Zamora on the Trans Canada Trail towards the Provincial Park — was displayed in the window of the gallery and instantly snapped up. To coincide with the opening of Franzen’s exhibit in Toronto, his friend and host Rosemary Phillips, now of Grand Forks, presented the Westbridge Community Hall with a series of framed photos of the painting party and of the printed invitation to the exhibit which runs from Nov. 21 until Dec. 19. Says Franzen, “The opening was wonderful, a great gathering. Accompanying the exhibit there is a portfolio of photos and clippings of before and after the Rock Creek fire. Some people knew of it, some didn’t. The whole event was very worthwhile.” For more information about Franzen and the exhibit, visit www. rebeccagallery.com.

Place names

Midway between what and what?

GREG NESTEROFF

West Kootenay Advertiser

One hundred twentysecond in an alphabetical series on West Kootenay/ Boundary place names Many theories exist about how Midway got its name. To begin with, Midway was previously known as Eholt’s, Boundary City, and Boundary Creek. The first of these was in honour of Louis Eholt (1840-1911), who preempted the future townsite around 1884 and for whom a Boundary railway junction was later named. Eholt’s was first mentioned in a letter from land surveyor J.P. Burnyeat to the commissioner of lands and works dated December 1891 and quoted in Grand Forks: The First 100 Years: “A wagon road exists from Eholt’s to Grande Prairie, 25 miles, but on American territory … there is a deep gulch and, in my opinion, affords a good pass for a wagon road, connecting Eholt’s and Osoyoos with Grande Prairie on the Canadian side …” A post office application was filed on Sept. 7, 1893 as Boundary City, but when the office opened on Jan. 1, 1894, it was called Boundary Creek. In 1893, Capt. Robert C. Adams of Montreal purchased the property and had a townsite laid out. By some accounts, it was called Midway from the getgo while others say it was Boundary City first and renamed Midway the following year.

In any case, Adams’ rationale for the name was explained in the Boundary Creek Times of Dec. 26, 1896, but only rediscovered a few years ago by Al Donnelly of the Boundary Historical Society: “Capt. Adams … says he puzzled for days thinking of a name that would be both suitable and catching. What he wanted was a name easy to pronounce and easy to remember, but to name a town is not so easy a task after all. Those who know Capt. Adams, however, also know that even in a matter of this kind he would employ original methods — and he certainly did. He went straight through Webster’s Unabridged till he came to the letter M — how long it took him he does not say — and Midway immediately struck his fancy. “It was short and had a pleasing sound; moreover it expressed distinctly two ideas topographically and geographically correct; The town is exactly in the centre of the whole district, and is also the midway point between the Rocky and the Selkirk ranges. So the town was called Midway accordingly.” (This doesn’t make sense, however — Midway is to the west of both the Rockies and the Selkirks.) A petition was submitted to postal authorities on April 4, 1894 requesting the post office be renamed Midway. The change took effect on Nov. 1. Subsequently, others found additional rea-

Midway was named in 1893 by Capt. Robert C. Adams, but even he seemed a bit confused about its origin. Photo by John Greaves photo

sons why Midway was an appropriate name. In a 1905 letter to the Geographic Survey of Canada, postmaster Edward A. Hain suggested Midway was named “on account being about as nearly possible halfway, or midway, between the then-nearest point of railway communication, namely Marcus on US side, and Penticton on Canadian side, where early prospectors had to get their supplies.” R.A. Brown in a separate letter to the Geographic Survey suggested it was “named on account of it being halfway between Grand Forks and Osoyoos Lake.” The Midway Advance of Dec. 11, 1899 wrote: “The town was named Boundary City but because of Boundary Falls a new name was required. Capt. Adams eventually decided upon Midway, as the town is approximately midway between the

Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.” The BC Centennial Directory of 1967 suggested: “Being at about the halfway mark on the Dewdney trail passing through it, Boundary City soon was generally referred to as Midway. Eventually the name stuck simply because it avoided confusion with the other smelter town of Boundary Falls …” According to the 2001 Boundary Visitors Guide: “Generally accepted is the theory that the village lies midway between the Pacific Ocean and the Rocky Mountains. The other is that it’s midway between heaven and hell!” There’s also the notion that Capt. Adams was influenced by Midway Plaisance, the Chicago park at the centre of amusements during the 1893 World’s Fair, which resulted in midway becoming a byword for fairs and carnivals. While this sounds plausible, it did not appear in print until 1945

in Rupert W. Haggen’s Origin of Place Names in Boundary District manuscript. Midway incorporated as a village in 1967.

How to avoid the holiday shopping rush Holiday shopping can be both fun and hectic. While it’s fun to scour stores looking for can’t-miss gifts for your loved ones, shopping amongst the crowds also can prove hectic. While online shopping has made department stores somewhat less crowded come the holiday season, the National Retail Federation notes that online shopping during the 2014 holiday season accounted for just one-sixth of all holiday shopping. The opportunity to see and feel potential gifts in person compels many people to do the majority of their holiday shopping in-store, and there are ways for such shoppers to avoid the holiday shopping rush as they begin their quests for the perfect gifts. · Shop during off-peak hours. Weekends and weeknight evenings tend to be the busiest times to go holiday shopping. Professionals who have weekends off may put off their shopping during the week, choosing to do so on Saturday and Sunday afternoons when they have extra time to browse and comparison shop. Shopping off-peak hours, such as during weekday mornings or even early mornings on weekends, is a great way to avoid crowds. Parents of young children might want to take a morning or even a full day off of work to get their holiday shopping done so they can avoid shopping with their kids in tow. You can probably move around more quickly if you choose to shop while the kids are in school, and this also affords you time to find gifts for the kids. · Make a list. Knowing what you want to buy online can decrease the amount of time you

spend wandering around malls and stores. The longer you linger without an idea of what to buy, the greater the chance you will be joined by fellow shoppers. If possible, call stores before you leave the house to confirm if they have certain items in stock, or buy items online from retailers who offer an in-store pickup option. Checkout lines for in-store pickup items are often separated from more traditional checkout lines, further reducing your risk of waiting in long lines. · Shop local businesses. Small local businesses may not boast the inventory of larger retailers you’re liable to encounter at the mall, but local small businesses tend to deal with thinner crowds than national stores during the holiday season. Items in such businesses may be more unique than items sold at nationwide retailers, and when you shop at smaller businesses, you likely won’t be forced to hunt for parking spots or wait on long checkout lines. · Start shopping early. Crowds only grow bigger and more impatient between Black Friday and the final days before Christmas, so shoppers who can find the time to shop before the height of the shopping season might find parking lots and checkout lines more to their liking. In addition, shopping early affords shoppers more time to find the best deals. The holiday shopping rush hits full swing in the weeks before Christmas Day, but there are many ways shoppers can get their shopping done and avoid the crowds at the same time.

Hanging stockings with care Mantles adorned with garland and other holiday trinkets make fireplaces come alive for Christmas. That magic is only enhanced by hanging Christmas stockings, which are just waiting to be filled with goodies for good girls and boys. Those without a fireplace often hang stockings from windowsills and stairway banisters. No written record exists to explain the origin of hanging stockings on fireplace mantles. Despite this, many people link the tradition to a tale about St. Nicholas. As that story goes, St. Nicholas was traveling through a village when he overheard the plight of three women. They were poor, and their father could not afford an ample dowry to marry them off. Rather than have them end up spinsters, St. Nicholas secretly tossed bags of coins through a window (or down the chimney, depending on which version of the story you read or hear), and they were captured in the girls’ stockings hanging to dry by the fire. The family was overjoyed to have received such riches. Soon news traveled about the mysterious money in stockings, and other children left out stockings for St. Nicholas to capture their own gifts. The tradition has transformed over the years, and now many children hang stockings by the chimney with the expectation that the stockings will be filled with gifts from Santa. Traditions once suggested that only gifts from Santa were left in

Holiday Ideas stockings, while gifts placed beneath the tree were from family, but that has since changed. Stockings are now meant to hold small gifts while larger items are placed under the tree. Stockings should be hung away from the flames of the fire as a safety precaution. Some children even like to hang individual stockings on their bedposts instead of on a fireplace mantle.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Aries, you can be quite generous when you choose to be, but sometimes you can overlook the needs of others. Pay as much attention to othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs as possible this week.

Libra, you are capable of making intelligent, objective decisions. Expect to find yourself with a growing list of new friends who want your advice.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Little things influence how others look at you, Taurus, so make sure you get all of your ducks in a row -- especially at work. Focus on some finer details.

Now is not the time to begin a new project, Scorpio. Rather, keep a low profile and finish up any tasks that you did not get to finish last week.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 You may not be in a practical mood this week, Gemini. Fortunately for you, there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much of importance that needs to be done, so you are free to let loose a little bit.

Sagittarius, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to get a good read on any associates or friends, which could impact your plans moving forward. You may need to make a few assumptions and back track later.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a week to take a walk down Memory Lane, Cancer. Focus on the future rather than getting lost in nostalgia. However, let your past guide your actions a bit.

Capricorn, right now all you can think about is your career and your financial future. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been meaning to give more thought to your finances and how to proceed.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

Townhouses Edgewater Townhouse Glenmerry, 3bd, f/s, $795./mo. 250-368-5908.

WEEKLY

Leo, your calendar is filling up quickly, but you cannot add any days to the calendar. Divide your responsibilities so you can better handle everything on your slate.

Aquarius, you may feel yourself pulled in two different directions this week. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a part of you that is focused on home, and another that knows work beckons. Find a balance.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Ambivalence will get you nowhere fast, Virgo. It can be difficult to make decisions, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something you have to do this week. Once you do, you can forge ahead.

It may seem like getting others to open up is a struggle this week. Find a way to communicate as best you can, Pisces.
