Robson/Raspberry residents approve water system CRAIG LINDSAY Castlegar News Reporter

The votes have been received, and the residents have had their say. After being on a boil water advisory for over 15 years, the residents voted Oct. 22 to accept the Robson/Raspberry Im-

provement District’s (RRID) proposal for a new water treatment plant. “We’re very happy about that,” said Terry Harrison, RRID chair. “It feels really good to be able to go ahead with the project and get it done.” The vote was ap-

proximately 60 per cent in favour of the treatment plant. The turnout was about 40 per cent of eligible voters casting their votes. The total cost of the project is expected to be $3.4 million. Robson/Raspberry residents will see their

water bills increase from about $630 per year to $1,000 per year for a single unit. “Nobody wants to spend that much money,” said Harrison. “But it’s not getting any cheaper and if we put it off any longer, it’ll just get more expensive. I think

people just decided, ‘okay, it’s time to do it. We need to get going on it and get it done and then eventually it will be paid off.’” Depending on certain factors such as the weather, the work to complete the project should take about one year.

“The engineers will go into the detailed design which they submit to us for review. Then it goes to (Interior) Health for review, and then it goes out to tender,” said Harrison. “We’re hoping it will be up and running by October of 2012.”

Community

Fall fashions front and centre at Fireside CRAIG LINDSAY Castlegar News Reporter

October is Community Living Month in B.C. and to celebrate, the Kootenay Society for Community Living (KSCL) put on the Fall Fashion Show on Oct. 20 at the Fireside Inn. “Community Living month is an opportunity to make people aware about an inclusive commu-

nity,” said Betsy Goolieff, executive director for KSCL. “We did this last year and I think it was really successful. It was a really good way for everyone to mix and mingle and have a good time.” The seasonal fashion show featured local models taking to the stage showing off fashions from stores such as West’s Department Store, J.J.’s

Fashions, and Reitman’s. “It was the second annual fashion show,” said Goolieff. “It was great. We had a good turnout. I think everyone had a really good time.” Appearing on stage was KCSL staff and people they support, as well as community members, friends and family members. “There was a lot of interest,” said Gooli-

eff. “It’s a fun evening for everyone.” The proceeds from the fashion show, which amounted to $350, will be donated to the Community Harvest Food Bank. CLC supports children and adults with developmental disabilities in the community. “We have everything from our day program called Community Options to after-school pro-

grams for kids,” said Goolieff. “Part of the Options program is working out in the community with supported employment. It’s also learning life skills and recreation in the community. We try to be out in the community as much as possible.” CLC also operates residential homes with five in Castlegar, one in Nelson, and three in Grand Forks.

Get set for a double helping of artistic fare JIM SINCLAIR Castlegar News Editor

Expect to hear more about these events as their dates draw nearer, but do make a note of these dates and locations. Friday, November 18 will be a big one – with a couple of significant happenings scheduled. It’s the kickoff night of the Kootenay Gallery’s Annual Christmas Show and Sale. The event at the Gallery will run right up to Christmas Eve. Opening night will start at 7. The location is the Kootenay Gallery of Art History and Science – 12 Heritage Way, that’s at the south end of the frontage road just across the highway from the airport. And just to demonstrate the level of creative talent in our community, the Selkirk Weavers and Spinners’ Guild will stage a festive event of its own that Friday night in a conference room at the Quality Inn - 1935 Columbia Avenue.

The Gallery event (above) is a major fund-raiser, a chance to ﬁnd great Christmas gifts while supporting local artists. Submitted photo Tea towels, as stacked in photo at right, are the Selkirk Weavers and Spinners Guild’s most popular item. Sandra Donohue photo

Why not fit in a visit at both venues and make a big evening out of it? There is no admission charge for either event. The Gallery will be an ideal socializing spot with a wide assortment of works from across our broad region. “It’s quite full,” said executive director Val Field. “There’s a lot of work but we always seem to find space to fit new artists in.” On that topic, Field says a lot of submissions will show up

The Selkirk Weavers and Spinners have a slightly more concentrated effort coming up: Four-to-nine on Friday and nineto-four on Saturday, November 18 and 19, respectively. Anytime is a good time for appreciating the fabric arts, but none better than now considering the warm comfort which is standard equipment on a hand-crafted shawl, afghan, blanket or scarf. You can warm up just thinking about this kind of product.

“Our guild has about 18 members but it will probably be about 10 taking part in the sale,” said spokesperson Sandra Donohue of the event which will feature spinning and weaving demos as well. “There will also be a lot of tea-towels... place-mats... and some great handknitted socks.” So keep that date in mind... November 18 for this double artistic attraction with the Kootenay Gallery and Selkirk Weavers and Spinners.

Kelowna pair nabbed by RCMP following B&E spree SUBMITTED

Castlegar RCMP reported on October 20 they had arrested two males in connection with a string of local break and enters which had occurred overnight on Oct. 19. The 19-year-old males, both of Kelowna, were being held pending court appearances on Oct. 21. Each male faced a list of charges in-

cluding five counts of break and enter, one count of attempted break and enter, and possession of stolen property (number of counts to be determined). On Oct. 19 officers responded just before midnight to an alarm at Joey’s Seafood Restaurant. The business was checked and found to be secure. About an hour later RCMP received a call

in regard to an alarm at Wine Kitz. Police were not dispatched to the location but a representative attended, found it had been broken into, and phoned police. Police received a call at about 4 a.m. from a citizen in the 1400 block of Columbia Avenue of an attempted b&e in progress. Police attended immediately and two males fled on foot,

leaving behind a van. It was noted at the time that David Williams and Associates had been targeted. Two suspects were noticed a short time later and arrested.

Monstrosities on the menu JIM SINCLAIR Castlegar News Editor

Because folks never get tired of dressing up and, because it seems nobody has more fun than when they’re having it anonymously, the Castlegar Hospice Society has hit upon what looks like a sure thing. It’s the first of what is hoped will be an autumn tradition of demonstrating compassion and support for local folks facing serious challenges. It’s a MONSTER MASH, baby... and it’s this Friday night! The society noticed there aren’t enough fun Halloween events for the more mature set, so here it comes. “We saw an opening and decided to go for it,” said coordinatorSuzanne Lehbauer. This masquerade will take over a sizable share of the Castlegar Community Complex – an evening of socializing, trying to guess who’s dressed up as what, libations, appetizers, dancing to the first rate music kindly donated by “Amusing Yours Truly”... and trying to guess who’s behind those wacky masks! The thrill of going in-cognito is a special one, bordering on naughtiness. Who doesn’t remember that giddy sensation when entering a room to join a costumed crowd? Suddenly you’re a little looser on

the dance floor... inhibitions just a little farther removed! To top it all off there’s the good feeling that comes from supporting an outfit that has the best interests of 100 per cent of the community at heart. The local Hospice Society goes to bat for folks of all ages and backgrounds... from all walks of life. The caring volunteers know full well how far an understanding ear can go in helping a family through a tough time. It’s a tough time that all will encounter, given enough time. In the meantime, life does go on and there’s a lot of fun to be had – including this Friday night at the Castlegar Community Complex! We’ll do the mash... we’ll do the MONSTER MASH! You can double up on the fun, had by yourself, and whoever it is you dress up as... is that really YOU? Prizes will be awarded for the best get-ups, so don’t hold back. It’s sure to be a great time for a great cause. The Castlegar Hospice Society’s Monster Mash fundraiser, with all money staying local.

Another such incident took place at the Beach Hut in Castlegar. Police also reported that three Nelson businesses: Chatters, Downward Dog

and Ariah’s Organic Food had been victimized overnight and appeared to be related to the Castlegar crimes. An undisclosed amount of cash was stolen from each

Have a blast, but keep your fingers Halloween 2011 will soon be just a memory and some might lament its passing. Many will just be happy the whole sordid affair doesn’t last longer than it does. Some refer to the orange and black period as a holiday. If it is a holiday for some, it’s never one for police and fire departments... and it’s a bona-fide nightmare for house pets and livestock. Halloween is the time of year, despite the annual efforts of police and community leaders, where bad stuff is just waiting to happen. If it doesn’t, so much the better... but the occasion just has a negative connotation to it that no amount of candy can counteract. “Lighten up, have some fun,” say some. “Let’s ban fireworks,” say others, and their suggestion has some precedents. Sooke, BC, up until a few years ago, was like a war zone for about a ten-day period around Oct. 31. Powerful bomb-like firecrackers went off day and night. Someone seemed to be seriously hurt every year. Every year dogs and cats went missing, some never to be seen again. The District brought in tough laws and the RCMP members were happy to enforce them. The problem disappeared right away. Eliminating Halloween isn’t what’s being promoted here... but maybe a steady scaling back... sort of how we handled that “Dancing-around-the-May-Pole” business. Does anyone remember that? We want to hear from you.

Spots In Time - Gord Turner

Of these I am proud Often I’ve heard people lament the death of a family member, “I wish I’d told her how much I loved her.” Yes, too often we look upon our loved ones and reflect upon how much we admire them. But—we hold back the praise, or we’re uncertain how to say the words. I’m as reticent as the next person, always feeling good about members of my family but never expressing those feelings. I’m still sorry today—20 years after—that I had to do the eulogy for my son Devin to tell him how proud I was of him and his achievements at the age of 18. So now I’m going to tell my remaining sons how proud I am of them and of what they are doing in this life. My oldest son Brennan spent a long time coming to ground. He told his mother once that he would have many careers. In fact, he has had ten different occupations in his life so far. Throughout these, he has been quite successful, but he gets easily bored when he masters the job. His tendency is to move on. Throughout his various work situations, I’ve noted two things: he can sell anything to anyone, and he is really good with people. With these qualities it was right for him to want

his own business, and so a couple of years ago he bought SoundWest Sales and Service—a tv and electronics store in Trail. Though it’s hard work making a business successful, he’s doing well. And I’m proud to be the father of this businessman, my son. My third son Avery has always been an outdoors person. Initially, when he graduated he took College courses and worked at odd jobs, but in the summers, he laboured at brushcutting and tree planting. These are not easy jobs, but because he is tough and rugged, he handled the tasks readily. Then he decided he needed to be further up the line, so he trained to be a forest fire-fighter. Boot camp for this training is quite rigorous and he came through with flying colours. He spent a couple of summers throughout the province putting out fires before he moved on to dealing with fire centres for the Ministry of Forests. He has always had this ability to understand people and how to carry out tasks efficiently. So it was not surprising when he became the supervisor for the fire centres in this corner of the world. When you see the planes loaded with water and retardant flying out from Castlegar, Revelstoke, Cran-

brook, or Penticton to put out a forest fire, you can be sure my son has been directing the activity. And I am proud to be the father of this manager, my son. My fourth son Riston took the university-studies route to success. Upon graduation from SFU with a history degree, he surprised his mother by moving to South Korea where he obtained an English teaching position. He spent four-and-a-half-years there. In the process, he learned the Korean language, both in the culture and at university. Then he came back to Canada and took the West Kootenay Teacher training program through UBC. Though he began as a teacher-on-call in the local school district, his sensitivity to young people and their needs was quickly noted. Now he is teaching full-time at Stanley Humphries Secondary. And I am proud to be the father of this teacher, my son. We never know what will become of our children as they grow. We nurture them, we feed them our hopes, and then they fly. Along the way, we might have forgotten to tell them we love them. To my sons, I’m telling you now—I love you.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Questioning the wisdom of “Smart” meters FortisBC plans to seek approval from the B.C.Utilities Commission sometime this fall to implement mandatory wireless smart meters for its 166,000-plus customers in the Okanagan and Kootenays. Changes to our electricity supply require proper, independent oversight protection provided by the B.C.Utilities Commission as the regulatory body with the responsibility to safeguard our interests. Its function is to review and approve a business plan and provide hearings for public input. If given approval FortisBC customers can look forward to wireless smart meters that produce radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (REF). Unlike cell phones and other wireless devices, smart meters are not optional and cannot be turned off. They radiate 24/7! The World Health Organization has classi-

fied all REF emissions as possibly carcinogenic. This radiation penetrates all living things. Human bodies make ideal antennas. For people who are already electrically sensitive it is going to be a living nightmare. We will be receiving constant radiation from not only our own meter but from our neighbours’ and from the collector tower somewhere in the neighbourhood. Scientists have found that the more prolonged the exposure received, the greater the risks of developing ill-health effects. We all have the potential of becoming electrically sensitive if we have long term exposure. FortisBC is mandating a recognized carcinogen to be added to our homes. FortisBC has alternatives to the wireless smart meter. Itron, the manufacturer, clearly states that the utility company is free

to choose the method of connection. Idaho has chosen hardwired smart meters that cost less, use the same power lines already in place, with no extra cost for new infrastructure and no health risks. Those of us who are FortisBC customers still have time to make our voices heard. Demand that the B.C.Utilities Commission (commission. secretary@bcuc.com) notify you when FortisBC submits its application and then send your concerns to them to be placed in the public record. Demand safe technology. Demand wired meters! Sign the online petition at www. citizensforsafetechnology.org. Send your concerns to your local MLA. Together, the people of this province have the power to stop this. -Linda Louise, Winlaw, BC

At its recent annual general meeting, Castlegar & District Community Services Society (CDCSS) recognized Seniors Citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Counsellor Barbara Kuryluk with a framed certificate for her 15 years of service to the seniors of the community. Working alternate Wednesdays from September through June, Barb helps her clients navigate the intricacies of applying for government programs and benefits, such as pensions, disability benefits, Pharmacare, SAFER grants, renewal of allowances, and guaranteed income supplements. Barb has also worked in the free Volunteer Income Tax Program, which helps low income people and seniors file their tax returns every spring, provided their income sources are uncomplicated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special,â&#x20AC;? said Barb, speaking of the award in a phone interview, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what I look for

In her written reports and remarks at the meeting, Board Chair Roberta Hamilton praised the work of all the Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volunteers, and urged community members to offer their services as Board members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boards arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t boring,â&#x20AC;? said Hamilton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our board offers you an opportunity to make a commitment to the society,

Building society membership is a priority for the coming year, and fits with the goal of ensuring that the society is visible, known and supported within the community. Keynote speaker Andrew Jarrett, Executive Coordinator of the Kootenay Boundary Community Services Cooperative (also called â&#x20AC;&#x153;the Koopâ&#x20AC;?) reviewed the history and purposes of this unique, 13 member organiza-

tion. The Koop is important in ensuring that decisions about local or regional services are made locally, by providing eyes, ears and a common voice for its members in pursuing service opportunities. It also provides affordable training and consulting for members and non-members throughout the Columbia Basin.

CRAIG LINDSAY Castlegar News Reporter

Selkirk College in Castlegar played host to the Kootenay Association for Science and Technology (KAST) Quantum Leap: Girls Talk Tech conference on Oct. 20. The event was open to girls in grades 1012 from throughout the West Kootenay, Central Kootenay, and Boundary area.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a technology conference for young women - high school aged girls.â&#x20AC;? said Kalvin Saldern of KAST. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve brought them in from four different school districts. So there are girls from Creston, Grand Forks, all the way up to Nakusp and Kalso and of course Nelson, Trail, Castlegar, and Rossland,â&#x20AC;? added Saldern about the function.

The students learned how to fly in an aviation simulator, mix up a mirror from scratch in chemistry, build a digital map of our natural environment, and more as they mixed and mingled with young women already in their dream science and tech careers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We spend a ton of time trying to inspire passion for science and technology,â&#x20AC;? said Saldern.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this case, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re focusing solely on young women. These girls get to hear from women in the field about what drove them to technology; how they

their contributions in opening the second Options clinic on a B.C. campus,â&#x20AC;? said Repin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are fortunate to have many â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;partners in crimeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; here with us today, who are willing to share their experience, roles and involvement with the

ELECTOR REGISTRATION

The Castlegar RCMP will have an enhanced presence to deal with any Halloween-generated issues. Officers will be dedicated to deal with issues at Kinnaird Park, Millennium Park, the Castlegar Complex and any other potential problem areas that arise. We will work in partnership with City Works, Castlegar Fire Dept. and Selkirk Security as well as Citizens on Patrol (COP) who will supply volunteers to enhance patrol capability. Police roadblocks will be visible throughout the city. The Superintendent of City Works

has ordered a closure of Kinnaird Park and Millennium Park from the evenings of October 28-31. Anyone found inside the parks deliberately defying the closure will be removed and charged under the Parks Bylaw. A $50 fine applies. Parents are encouraged to urge their children to act appropriately and assure them that what may appear to be a fun prank could have negative results. For example, throwing apples at houses or vehicles creates damage to property and injury to innocent people. Homeowners have the right to enjoy their property free from fear of fire or mischief-related of-

fences. Further, it should be reiterated that should anyone choose to become involved in inappropriate activity, they will be held accountable for their actions. It is important to become familiarized with the laws relating to fireworks. Our goal is to provide a safe and memorable Halloween for all members of the community. • Except between Oct. 24 and Nov. 1 in any given year, a person must not sell, give, or set off fireworks. • You must be 19 or over to possess or set off fireworks, unless under the direct supervision of an adult. • Use of fireworks is limited to private property.

terfor Sawmill fired up again,” he said. “With my 30-plus years in the forest industry, I understand their language; I understand the market; I understand the cycles the forest industry takes and the pulp market takes. I think what happened with the taxation the council did - to drop the taxation of the pulp mill - I think there were other avenues that could’ve been explored. I think the bigger corporations see a black funnel where all this money goes into and they don’t really see anything in return.” Some of the alternative ways could include putting money into the Community Complex or wildland fire protection, said Zaitsoff. “I would be willing to work with the business community,” he said. “Being in business for myself, I understand the hurdles and the day-to-day requirements. The speculation of somebody new coming here and opening up shop in Castlegar and what that does to the smaller businesses in town.”

After three terms as director of Area J, Gordon Zaitsoff is challenging incumbent Lawrence Chernoff for the mayor’s chair in Castlegar. “I’ve been approached by quite a few people to put my name forward,” he said. “There are some key issues in the area that people feel haven’t been addressed appropriately. One being the health care in the Castlegar area.” Zaitsoff sits on the West Kootenay Hospital Board which meets once every month or two. “I’ve been a very vocal voice for the area of Castlegar for improved services,” he said. “The current representative (Mayor Chernoff ) that sits on the hospital board - I haven’t heard him bring up one issue for the Castlegar area.” Zaitsoff worked directly with the citizen’s group that worked to save valuable hardware at the Castlegar Health Centre. “We were able to formulate a plan to save the ultra-

hospital board, said Zaitsoff. He sees a possible partnership with Selkirk College as a way to help with the project. “A regional facility could be established at Selkirk College. It could also complement the projects being offered at the college,” he said. “Not only here in Castlegar, but also in the fringe areas of Trail, Nelson, and Nakusp.” Zaitsoff sees the beauty surrounding the college as a great benefit to patients that would attend the hospital. “When you look at facility there, overlooking the river and everything else,” he said. “It’s about health care. But if you provide an environment that’s pretty soothing to the people that are ill - that’s a big part of the healing process.” Zaitsoff has many years of experience with the forestry industry. He worked at the Celgar Pulp Mill for 24 years. He currently owns his own business where he is responsible for road maintenance in the area for various forest tenures. “It’s great to see In-

sound machine for the Castlegar area,” he said. “They approached me because they weren’t getting very far with some of the council members and I was able to bring some of the issues forward to the hospital board. With true dialogue with the hospital board, I was able to get this group to make presentations to the board and Interior Health - voicing their concerns.” Zaitsoff believes Castlegar should be considered for a regional hospital. “I think we’re at the point now where, again through the hospital board, we were able to get Interior Health to commit to putting a feasibility study together for a new regional facility,” he said. “I believe Castlegar is the area for the new facility. That dialogue has to start right away; sooner than later. During the last four terms, it’s always been talked about, but we haven’t seen any action forthcoming.” Although council has said a new hospital would be good for the area, there hasn’t been any push at the

Castlegar residents had the opportunity to learn all about the Columbia River Treaty at an open house information session on Oct. 19 at the Castlegar Community Complex. The session was presented by Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) and was part of a series of sessions the CBT has put on throughout the basin area. Kindy Gosal, director of water and environment for CBT, made a couple of video presentations that explained what the Columbia River Treaty (CRT) is and how it has affected the region. “The objective of the workshop was to provide the public with information on the treaty: what it is and how it works and what some of the considerations are for the future,” said Gosal. “We provided the residents of Castlegar with some information on the structure of the treaty.” The treaty is an international agreement between Canada and the United States to coordinate flood control and optimize hydroelectric energy production on both sides of the border. “The treaty is an evergreen agreement - it doesn’t have an expiry date,” said Gosal. “There are built-in opportunities for changing the treaty.”

Kamela Davies 250-355-0008

Castlegar News Reporter

Four dams were built as a result of the treaty: Keenleyside, Mica (near Golden), Duncan (North of Kootenay Lake) in B.C. and Libby in Montana. The earliest date for either side to unilaterally terminate or renegotiate the CRT is 2024; ten years advance notice must be given. “It’s not that any changes have to be made - but 2014 is the earliest date that changes can be made,” said Gosal. “A lot of time and serious effort is being put into looking at the options, but no decisions have been made by either side yet. And that is why we wanted to let citizens understand what is being looked at and what is the framework for the potential changes, and get people up to speed. It’s a pretty complicated issue and that was our first attempt at giving people the information they need.” The open house, which was attended by nearly 100 residents, also included a group session where attendees were encouraged to talk amongst themselves about the various issues surrounding the CRT.

Business Mulligans offers comfort food all winter long Located at the Little Bear Golf Course in Ootischenia, Mulligans Restaurant offers warm, fresh food with many natural local ingredients. Whether you’re hankering for a traditional pub meal such as a burger and fries or some hot chicken wings, or a nice healthy wrap, or even a seafood fiesta, Mulligans can deliver. “We are co-owners, along with our silent partner husbands,” joked McIntosh, who runs the restaurant along with Laura-Lynn MacKinnon. The ladies bought the restaurant and took it over in the summer. They fixed it up and had their grand opening in June on Father’s Day. “Nobody was opening it this year. It was empty,” said MacKinnon. “I spent a lot of time at the golf course with my kids and Tina needed something to do. We talked about it and within about two weeks were right into it.” The ladies and their families spent three weeks fixing up the restaurant before the grand opening.

Selkirk Eyecare is an optometry practice focused on primary eye care. The doctors at Selkirk Eyecare offer a wide range of services, including the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, minor injuries, full ocular health exams, contact lens fittings and refractivesurgery consultation with postoperative care. Selkirk Eyecare has a wide selection of designer frames as well as large selection of premium sunglasses. The doctors and staff of Selkirk Eyecare look forward to seeing you!

“

“We decided to do it differently than previous owners and open it up seven days and make it a nice, fine dining restaurant,” said MacKinnon. Both women also have full time jobs and young families, and are active in the Castlegar minor hockey association board. “We’re all extremely involved in our children’s lives,” said MacKinnon. McIntosh said everyone helps out with the restaurant even the kids. “Pretty much everyone pitches in and helps do whatever they can,” she said. The grand opening, customer appreciation night, and inaugural seafood extravaganza were packed. “For our first four months, it’s been an incredible ride. It’s been very busy,” said McIntosh. “The food’s been wonderful and the people have been fantastic.” Mulligan’s head chef George Nutter loves preparing food and is ready to meet almost any dietary or nutritional needs of the customers. The restaurant offers daily specials for both lunch and dinner.

CRAIG LINDSAY Castlegar News Reporter

“The food we create here is seasonal, local, fresh cuisine,” said Nutter. “We try to do nice hearty dishes that are good for the soul and very tasty.” Some popular items on the menu include roasted garlic pastas, mushroom asiago chicken, fire-grilled wild coho salmon, and great home made soups such as butternut squash. Through the fall and winter, Mulligans is closed Mondays. The restaurant is open Tuesday-Sunday 11 a.m. - 8 p.m. “It’s a real friendly, family fun environment,” said MacKinnon. Mulligans has hosted a number of special functions such as birthday parties, anniversaries, Christmas parties, and more. They’re hosting another seafood extravaganza on Nov. 18 at the restaurant. People are encouraged to call early for reservations at 250-365-9965 “We’re becoming known for our seafood,” said McIntosh. “We’ll be bringing in lobster, crabs, scallops. People really like fresh seafood.”

Rumbolt a down-home hit JIM SINCLAIR Castlegar News Editor

A lot of people love to sing, and the more the better. But there are other people who can be classed as special, gifted... world class. Paul Rumbolt has the sort of vocal talent that could get him into some increasingly rarified company as time goes on. The Newfoundland-raised Rumbolt is the latest in a series of performers doing house concerts here in Castlegar. Tim O’Doherty is the local man filling the role of casual promoter... a notfor-profit impresario who’s arranging the occasional show here and there simply for the love of the art. He brought in a duo called The Brights a month or so back and both recent acts were very well received by relatively sparse but enthusiastic audiences. One way of looking at this sort of show... is like guerilla-show business. There’s not a lot of advance publicity. It’s a low-key affair in a location donated by music lovers. Admission is most often by donation and there’s likely to be some choice nibblies to enjoy during the intermission.

Paul Rumbolt during Oct. 20 concert Jim Sinclair photo

If you happen to be there in the same small room with that certain talent... there is really no better musical experience. Paul Rumbolt has lived in Southern Alberta since 1993 and in that time has fallen in with a stellar circle of players... trading verses with some wellknown members of Canada’s country and folk music elite. The circle includes players like Nathan Tinkham, and Cindy Church... folks with a direct lineage to names like Ian Tyson and Amos Garrett. Rumbolt has vocal power and sweetness which invite favourable comparisons to men like John McDermott. He’s also a very capable and creative guitarist who writes a great variety of thoughtful songs. To top it all off he has a happy, friendly selfconfidence that puts people at ease and invites them along for a melodious and rhyth-

mic ride. Rumbolt has a falsetto that is otherworldly. He’s an ordained United Church Minister who also has a sizable portfolio of sacred music to his credit. Rumbolt met me before the show and spent a few moments discussing his life. He started out as a rock drummer and keyboardist but, a child of the 70s, had always paid attention to the singer-songwriters of the day. Now a prolific writer with several successful CDs produced, he makes regular forays to perform. He’s basically a half-time pastor at a Church in Calgary’s Killarney district. The other half of the time he’ll likely be out doing gigs. Paul’s first set was all original. It’s not easy to peg the assortment... for example, how do you adequately describe a heart-felt ode to his (now-29year-old) daughter, or another song written

by her? How does the message get across without the song actually being heard? I can say the tone, tuning and tempo were all right on the money. Rumbolt gave us a treat to start his second set, something that conveys what he’s about in terms of his performing skills. As folks were wrapping up their breaktime chat, he said he’d do some of the material that’d had such a big influence on him when he was starting out. He slid into a threesong America medley: “Sandman,” “Horse With No Name,” and “Sister Golden Hair.” That got our attention. “James Taylor,” someone chirped. So he moved his capo up a fret a did “Fire and Rain” before closing his tribute segment with John Denver’s “Thank God I’m a Country Boy” and “Annie’s Song.” That set the stage another cross section of his quality creations...capped with another request. He humoured his host O’Doherty with “Sunny’s Dream,” by fellow Newfoundlander Ron Hynes, appreciated by everyone in the family room of that Emerald Crescent home last Thursday night.

The Selkirk College Saints got off to a great start on Friday night at the Castlegar Community Complex against the visiting Okanagan College Coyotes. Goals from Scott Jago, Justin Sotkowy, Nithen Dhaliwal, and Andrew Green put the Saints up 4-1. Unfortunately, Selkirk couldn’t keep up the momentum as Okanagan slowly chipped away at the lead. Dave Mann tied the game up at 8:18 of the third period for the Coyotes with a power play marker. With just over a minute left, Chris Glen put the visiting team up for good, scoring on Selkirk’s Spenser Wong. The Saints next action is this weekend when they head to the coast to take on Trinity Western University in Langley on Friday and Simon Fraser University in Burnaby on Saturday.

The Kootenai Jiu-Jitsu Academy from Castlegar competed in the second annual Alberta Open Jiu-Jitsu Championships in Calgary this weekend. Nine athletes attended the competition and brought back a total of ten medals. “This was our first time competing in this tournament and found that is was well put together with a ton of talent,” said coach Ben Jolicoeur. “It was one of our students’ (Jordan Bolinski) first tournament ever and at the end of the day he walked away with a silver and bronze. Two of our students performed over and above - winning double gold medals.” Dominating their opponents were Josh Goldsburry (teen, 110 pound) and Jake Rudkowski (adult, 205 pounds) who both won gold in Gi and

The Bra Lady

Sports SHSS field hockey girls lose in West Kootenay final CRAIG LINDSAY Castlegar News Reporter

The Stanley Humphries Secondary (SHSS) senior girls field hockey team lost its West Kootenay final game Wednesday at Pass Creek Park to a very strong Rossland squad. This weekend, SHSS travelled to a tournament in Kelowna where

they finished sixth out of ten teams. “It was great experience for the girls playing on an artificial turf surface,” said team sponsor/manager Fiona Martin. “Everyone showed great improvement in their abilities.” The Rockers lost to powerhouse Collingwood, beat Penticton 2-1, tied OK (Okanagan) Mission 0-0, and

lost to South Kamloops 2-0 in pool play. The team played OK Mission for a second time in the final round and lost 1-0 despite dominating the play. “Their great goalkeeper just kept saving shot after shot. We ended up sixth. Considering our inexperience and the age of our players, this was a very respectable result.”

SHSS will travel to Kelowna this week for the wild card game against Okanagan’s second place team. The winner of that game

will give them a berth at the AA Provincials in Burnaby from November 1-5. Rossland has already qualified after beating SHSS last week.

Castlegar Nordic Ski Club

Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in. Chapman is coming to CASTLEGAR ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3 to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-onone basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”

Registration Day & Ski Swap November 5, 2011 Location: Castlegar & District Community Complex Registration Time: 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Details: This is the last day to purchase a season’s pass or pay program fees at the reduced rate! You can also register for all skier development programs: Bunnyrabbits, Jackrabbits and Track Attack. Ski Swap Time: Gear drop off is from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Open to buyers at 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Details: Entry fee is $2.00 and 15% of the sale value goes the Castlegar Nordic Ski Club.

Is Coming to Size You Up

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra.

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

YOU’VE TRIED ALL THE REST - NOW TRY THE BEST • NO UNDERWIRES • NO ELASTIC STRAPS • NO STRAPS FALLING OFF SHOULDERS • NO RIDING UP IN THE BACK

You can sign up for Chapman’s bra clinic by calling

1-800-254-3938 BY NOVEMBER 1ST She doesn’t come into town very often so she advises booking as soon as possible.

Sports AP goalie Mills picks up shut-out in first game with Rebels Continued from P. 22

“We really didn’t come out ready to play for whatever reason,” said Junker. “They took it to us for the majority of the game. We turned it up for about 10 minutes in the second period, but it’s tough to win when you’re only playing 10 minutes of a game.” Saturday’s game was back in Castlegar and the Rebels were ready. Tyler Robinson scored the first goal of the game at 17:06 of the first period assisted by Stuart Walton and Nolan Kinney. Derek Georgopolous of Fernie tied the game 1-1 a couple of minutes later with assists from Easton Bodeux and Alex Milhouse. Robinson scored the game-winner at the 13:01 mark of the second period as he put the puck past Rider goalie Chris Solecki. Assisting on the winning goal were Kody Disher and Braydon Horcoff. Connor Beauchamp was solid between the pipes for Castlegar stopping 30 shots for the win.

“It was a much thur Andrews scored stronger effort on our once and added two part,” said Junker. “I helpers. Also scoring thought we did a lot were Riley Ostoforoff, of things really well.

said Junker. “Getting on the road with all the guys will be a bit of a bonding experience. Hopefully, we’ll gel as a team together. Having the gruelling three games in three nights and sleeping in a hotel and eating on the road isn’t always easy. It’s another mental test for us.” The Golden Rockets might be a darkhorse at 4-4-0-1. They beat the 9-3 North Okanagan Knights, but needed overtime to beat Columbia Valley 6-5 on Oct. 7. The Rockets are led by 20 year-old centre Darren Andre (16 points in 13 games) and 19 year-old Keith Wake (14 points). “It’s the first road trip of the year,” said Jones. “It’s an exciting time for the young guys. We just have to make sure we stay focused and get the job done.” The Rebels seem firmly entrenched in third place in the Neil Murdoch Division, three points behind Beaver Valley and six points behind first place Nelson with three games in hand.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, grandmother and great-grandmother Betty Ella MacDermid of Castlegar, B.C. on October 16th at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital, Trail, BC. R i Betty was born on September 1, 1929 in Swan River, Manitoba. Her and her family later moved to Kelowna, BC where she went to school and worked as a fruit packer and then a telephone operator.
