� ere is still no agreement between the City of Castlegar and CUPE Local 2262. As a way of further stating their case, Castlegar city workers showed up in force at Monday night’s city council meeting. � e workers were accompanied by CUPE Communications Representative, Murray Bush.

Lea� ets handed out by the union stated, “Our goal is not to disrupt services but to press city hall to bargain in good faith for a fair and rea-sonable collective agreement.”

Local CUPE President Le-ford Lafayette stated, “We want to get out to residents that we do not want to strike. Contact mayor and council and ask them to look at giving our work-ers a fair collective agreement.”

Mr. Lafayette stated the outstanding issues were con-tracting out, management do-ing bargaining unit work and some concessions. He said, “I am not attaching a timeline. � ere are some time limits; we have to set 72 hour strike notice before too long. But we are hoping the employer will get back to the table.”

� e driver and lone occupant of a small school bus, out� tted for private use, lost control of the vehicle just north of the Bombi Summit in the mid-a� ernoon of Sunday, August 10. � e bus was westbound at the time.

No other vehicles were involved and police at the scene reported that the driver was walking and talking and did not appear to have any bro-ken bones. He was, however, taken to hospital as a precaution.

Brought together to pay tribute to lives lost in the 1945 nuclear blast over Hiroshima, Japan, approximately 100 peo-ple converged on the grounds

of the Mir Centre for Peace on August 6, the 69th anniversary of the incident that shortly preceded the end of the Sec-ond World War.

“From infants to the elderly,” read speaker Walter Swetliko� from a prepared text, “tens of

thousands of innocent civil-ians lost their lives in a single day. By the end of the year, 140,000 had died. To avoid forgetting that sacred sacri� ce, and to prevent the repetition of that tragedy, please listen to the voices of the survivors.”

“Get one’s goat”Meaning: To irritate.Origin: It’s a horse racing term. Nervous horses could be calmed down by placing a goat in the stall with them. Dastardly rival horse owners would some-times steal, or ‘get’, these goats, thereby upsetting the horse and making it likely to lose the race.

is “…willing and ready to return to the table for meaningful talks at any time and we look forward to hearing from your bargaining committee.”

The city would like to see the union respect the fact that it is funded by the taxpayers and has a responsibility to them. Castlegar’s Chief Administra-tive Officer, John Malcolm, stated in a press release, “Our strong financial standing is a result of years of prudent

budgeting and spending by council and staff and a reflection of the pri-orities and direction offered by the people of Castlegar. Our current of-fer balances the priorities of taxpayers with the needs of employees for a fair and reasonable contract.”

If the employer’s final offer is ac-cepted, it will mean the city works will have received a 22.25 per cent wage increase since 2008. The final offer includes a retroactive 5.75 per cent wage increase over four years,

increases to extended health benefits, the optical plan and meal allowances. Also included are improvements to vacation and banked time carry-over, grievance handling and labour-man-agement relations. Details of the city’s final offer can be found at www.castle-gar.ca/strike.

The city has offered reassurance that in the case of a strike, all city fa-cilities including city hall, civic works, the fire hall and RCMP will remain open.

A larger than normal group attended the regular City Council meeting of Au-gust 11.

About 45 people consist-ing of Castlegar city workers and their friends and family showed up to make a state-ment about the breakdown of labour negotiations be-tween the workers and the city. During question peri-od, CUPE Local 2262 Presi-dent Leford Lafayette stated, “With a show of good faith and the city’s cooperation, we could conclude this round of bargaining without a strike.”

In other matters, af-ter hearing concerns from John Phillips about the pro-

posed pathway along Con-nors Road, council decided to amend their motion to award the contract subject to discussion with residents of Connors Road. Mr. Phil-lips expressed concerns over loss of vegetation and green space, safety issues, speed of users, drainage and clean-up responsibilities. The city will be arranging a meeting in the future and believes it can answer the residents’ con-cerns and resolve some mis-conceptions. Chris Barlow, Director of Transportation and Civic Works, addressed a few of the concerns.

“Some of these concerns have been expressed by other residents and I have met with them on site,” said Barlow. “The intent of the pathway is to use the exist-

ing gravel shoulder, so there will be very little vegetation loss.” Regarding speed and safety issues at the railroad crossing he stated, “There will be gates at the crossing so skateboarders and cyclists would have to go through the gates, so they could not go across with a speed that would be a concern.”

With $3,000 remaining in the annual grants bud-get, Council approved three grant requests. The Castle-gar Quilters guild received $300 to assist with the cost of hosting the Castlegar Quilt Show. The Castlegar Aquanauts Swim Team se-cured $500 to help with travel costs to compete at the 2014 BC Summer Swim-ming Association Provincial meet in Kamloops. The HEP

C BC association was grant-ed $150 to aid in the show-ing of a TIFF documentary.

Council passed a bylaw updating development cost charges for the city. Phil Markin reported that the increases are not large and the costs are on the low end of the scale when compared with other local municipali-ties. The bylaw must now go to the Inspector of Munici-palities for approval.

As an update to the con-tinuing MMBC recycling saga, Mary Polak, B.C. Minister of Environment, has acknowledged in a let-ter that the service offered by MMBC in the Castlegar area is inadequate. She has directed staff and MMBC to revisit the outstanding is-sues.

Community

Have you ever wondered what a small town mayor does every day? The answer may surprise you as the job is much more involved than it appears on the surface. The average day in the life of the mayor is any-thing but average as the agenda is different every day.

Castlegar Mayor Lawrence Chernoff usually arrives at City Hall at 8:30 a.m. on weekdays. This is the most predictable part of the day. Keeping up with all the paperwork in his job takes about three hours a day. The mayor is responsible for sign-ing all of the cheques the city disperses. Before signing, he looks them over to ensure they are accurate and there are no discrepancies. The mayor must also sign any contract or agree-ment the city enters into; re-quiring him to give everything a last inspection before finaliz-ing the document. The paper-work continues with multiple reports and preparations for City Council and committee meetings. Another aspect of the paperwork is writing letters to a variety of recipients ranging from government ministries to local citizens. He also must write official correspondence on behalf of the city.

Mayor Chernoff summed it up, “There are always things to read, stuff to keep up on, paper-work, people sending emails, doing the routine stuff and overseeing policies.”

Depending on the day of the month, the mayor’s agenda may include a meeting with the Re-gional District of Central Koo-tenay of which he is Vice Chair or the Highway 3 Mayor’s Co-alition of which he is the Chair-man. The Mayor also sits on the West Kootenay Transportation Board; is the Chair of the City of Castlegar Green Commit-tee, Stage IV labour/Manage-

ment Commit-tee, Emergency Committee and sits on the Recre-ation Committee for good mea-sure. Preparing for these meet-ings takes many hours.

Appointments also take up a portion of each day; meeting with everyone from newspaper reporters and business leaders to city staff and concerned citizens. “I like to have people come see me in my office,” says the mayor. “I’d sooner talk to you face to face than send an email back and forth, sometimes it’s hard to translate an email. I like to look at you and read you as things go along.”

This is definitely not a nine-to-five job. Many meetings take place at night. The mayor attends three or four evening meetings or events each week.

Anytime you talk with May-or Chernoff about his job, his love and passion for what he does is obvious. The part of the job he likes best is getting out of the office and talking to the citi-zens and businesses that make up our community.

“My job is to promote the community,” he outlined, “and I do that in the utmost way. I really try to build, when I meet with Ministries or whoever, the greater Castlegar area, the West Kootenays. I think it is impor-tant for everyone to know that to work in isolation really does not work. It is my job to sell the city to anyone I can and to try and promote the city.”

The mayor also represents the city at social and cultural events. He recently spent time as MC at the Kootenay Festival. Maintaining the relationship with our sister city in Japan also takes time, especially when there is a delegation visiting.

The Millennium Ponds proj-ect and the grand opening cel-ebrations have been requiring attention, but Mayor Chernoff said of the ponds, “You feel the excitement in the community and that makes me extremely proud.”

The mayor’s overall philoso-phy for doing his job could be summed up with his statement, “When the Council sits down and we look at what we are do-ing, we’re trying to see what’s best for the community and that has really been my goal. How do I make things better, for my grandchildren, the fam-ilies, or whoever? You have to make it better.”

Chernoff must also spend part of his day dealing with critics. He says he has learned to deal with criticism by look-ing at the subject in question and analyzing it to see if it is for the overall good to the majority of citizens.

The mayor has spent many years in the people business. He was a paramedic for 29 years and has been in politics for the last 25 years, including nine years as Mayor of Castlegar.

“I’m still dealing with peo-ple, and still enjoying it. My greatest satisfaction is to see what is happening in the com-munity, and over time things are improving. It is a great place to live. I see the growth, I see things are happening, we’re progressive and always looking to the future. It’s the future that we build for everybody else.”

Where have all the children gone?There was a time when our ball

fields and basketball courts were alive with the sound of children laughing, playing and yes, even fighting. That was the background music of my youth.

I sometimes wonder if I am turn-ing into the old fuddy-duddy that as a teen I promised myself I would never become. You know who I mean-the grumbling, complaining and crabby senior who sits around and analyzes and complains about everything.

I guess that could apply to me to some degree when it comes to today’s youth and what I perceive as a shame-ful over-reliance on electronics. That over-reliance, I believe, is evident in our empty ball courts, ball fields and playgrounds.

Organized sports? Where? You could fool me as I sadly look upon those former bastions of carefree childhood play free of iPods, tablets or the latest iPhone.

A 16-year-old nephew of mine, who is quite physically active, and I recently had a conversation regarding just that. He likes to stay active and he likes the competition of organized sports. It’s not that he has to win, it’s that he likes to compete. This nephew told me that he often gets frustrated with his peers who don’t care for sports and would

rather while away their time inside the house playing games or texting their friends. He feels like he is an anomaly and is puzzled that his friends and peers would rather spend their time paying attention to their electronics than paying attention to their friends.

I don’t know about you, but when I was a child my parents would kick us outside to play whenever they had the opportunity to do so, good weather or bad. It didn’t matter to them.

What mattered was that their chil-dren were being active, breathing fresh air, sucking up the sunshine or playing in puddles.

We had a television, which I guess was quite novel back then and, in a way, equates to today’s electronics in that if allowed, we could easily have become addicted to it. But we weren’t allowed.

Television viewing was tightly con-trolled by our parents. First off, it was never watched until all our chores and homework were done. Period. No ex-ceptions. Ever. When we were allowed to watch TV, the shows were of my parents’ choosing (think Ed Sullivan, Perry Mason and Dragnet) and our viewing time was limited to only an hour or so a night. That included the weekends. On those days our folks kicked us outside to play. There was no watching television, AKA the boob

tube, in a dark house on a sunny day.The real novelty was that because

we didn’t have a fancy electronic to distract us we gravitated more to-wards group activities and were thus forced to interact with others. We honed our social skills on the ball fields and one-on-one conversations with real people in real scenarios. Our best friend wasn’t our cell phone. Our best friend actually held conversations with us and came to our rescue when needed. They were real.

There’s much to be said about to-day’s technology and electronics. I fully understand that such devices are an integral part of life, but must they be the be-all and end-all for growing children? For that matter must it be the be-all and end-all for adults?

There is nothing I abhor more than speaking with someone (adults in-cluded) who doesn’t hear a word I say because they are too busy checking their texts, answering the phone or even playing a game.

Sometimes I long for those uncom-plicated days minus cell phones, hand held devices, caller ID and voice mail.

But then, there are the days when the GPS earns her keep and I realize that electronics are here to stay. It’s up to us to find the perfect balance.

As my mother used to say, “All things in moderation.”

Successful people have likely got a certain competitive drive that keeps them moving in the right direction. The drive is transferrable to whatever the task they’re faced with at any giv-en moment–a casual sporting pastime or the more serious business negotiation.

Compromise does not exist on the field of play, but it certainly does in the real world.

The more lives directly affected by certain negotiations, the more important it is to bal-ance the need to win with the need to settle.

Take a collective bargaining process, for ex-ample.

Each side is led by a reasonably successful group of people–those who are accustomed to seeing things turn out their way. But, again, un-like the world of sports, barring ties, win-win scenarios are not only possible, but desirable.

It sounds much simpler than it is, but the only way for a win-win is for each to ease up on its demands.

An outright desire to win at any cost can bring a mixed blessing along with a triumph, possibly tainting the victory with many years of hard feelings and lost productivity.

On the field of play, winning the right way is important. Good sportsmanship and respect for the opponent turns the contest into some-thing truly worthwhile, verging on noble.

There are, again, direct parallels to real life, and real business.

The long and the short of it is this: compro-mise from each side, whether we’re talking teachers and government, or CUPE and the City of Castlegar) can grease the skids to get productive work happening again and put a start to the healing process.

Cooling off the competitive fires

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Editor:In the late summer/early

fall of 2012 the residents of Connors Road learned of a proposal to make a walkway/bike path on the west side of Connors Road. The route would ultimately turn in the 1900 Block of Connors Road and cross CPR property, join-ing up with the Trail loop of the Hwy #3 interchange and continuing along to the Chamber of Commerce. I wrote to the City of Castlegar with my concerns regarding the crossing on CPR proper-ty and proposed an alternate route. I also contacted CPR in Calgary. They stated at that time that they were unaware of this proposal.

We heard nothing further from the City of Castlegar. To my surprise a short while back I read in the Castlegar News an item which included the awarding of a grant to the City of Castlegar monies for the walkway bike path on Con-nors Road. Thereafter there

were a couple of other articles including a small map and the fact that the City of Castlegar had been putting money aside for this project for a number of years. During this time there were numerous con-tractors working on bids to tender to the City. Chris Bar-low of the City of Castlegar came to my residence and he and I looked at my concerns regarding the location of the pathway crossing of the CPR railway tracks. Although he listened to what I had to say it was obvious that this would be where the crossing was go-ing. On Monday, August 11 a Connors Road resident asked city council to reconsider this project and meet with the neighbourhood. On Wednes-day, August 13 an envelope from the City of Castlegar arrived in my mailbox. It was a map of the proposed path-way and a letter from Chris Barlow inviting us to walk the route of the proposed path-way with him, when he could

“...hopefully address any ques-tions or concerns that might arise from the construction.” The walk is set for this Friday at 3:00 p.m., only two days notice. This letter was only delivered to the homes front-ing Connors Road and not to the residents of Riverside Crescent, who have to use Connors Road to access their homes. Is this really the type of response we should consid-er appropriate from our elect-ed officials and the employees of the City of Castlegar? I do not believe so. I have no illu-sions that anything will come of this action.

The contract for this path-way was awarded Monday night after the prior presen-tation. But residents need to be aware of the way the City is conducting their business, in the best interest of the com-munity as a whole.

Spanks to random store opening times –one opens at 7, one at 8, one at 830, one at 9, one at 10. You have to keep coming back to get all of your shopping done! The city should have a bylaw that you all have to open at the same time.

Spanks to the people in the boat/houseboat who dumped their holding tank in the Arrow Lake. All their raw sewage floated up on the beach and in the bay where residents and their children swim. And THANKS to our neigh-bours for cleaning up the disgusting mess.

The Castlegar and District Hospital Auxiliary Society kept its expansion options open when its new rock-solid facility was built in at 210 11th Avenue back in 2007. Their contractor, Cyril Sookachoff had finished the building in such a way that a second story could be added at a later date if the society so chose. They have since so chosen. Today there is twice as much to draw the value hounds and they’re making an appropriately big deal out of it.

They’re inviting you to an official grand opening cel-ebration for the twice-as-nice Treasure Shop on Wednesday, August 20.

The store, as it appears to-day, is light years beyond it’s humble beginnings, as Hos-pital Auxiliary Society Chair Nettie Stupnikoff explained

during an early morning tour before the store opened on August 7.

“When we got started peo-ple suggested we should go with two floors right off the bat. But being cautious, we thought it would be better to see how the first floor would do, and if that was going to work and there was interest in such a shop in our com-munity, then we’d look at ex-panding.”

The completed structure, including an elevator and cen-tral air conditioning, is now ready to meet the needs and wants of the public as well as offering a more spacious and comfortable environment for the 60+ volunteers who oper-ate the store.

The second floor houses ladies wear, and more closely resembles a high-end retail outlet than a thrift store. It’s the icing on the cake, so to speak, and the crowning glo-

ry of the store having the big opening event on August 20 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Light snacks and refresh-ments will be available.

Nettie Stupnikoff has a lot of people to thank for the way things have gone for the Treasure Shop, and at the top of the list are members of the public who support the Hospital Auxiliary funding source. “Because after all,” she concluded, “all the money raised is for health care and it all stays in the community.”

Clean and simple, well-balanced and just punchy enough-Clinton Swanson and Friends filled Kinnaird Park with high-quality tone and rhythm on August 6. Instrumentally and vocally, the value of the years they’ve put in was plain to hear.

Whatever combina-tion or permutation these Nelson-based veterans perform in, the listener knows it’s a premium product being served.

Next up at the pop-ular weekly outdoor showcase (7:00 p.m. Wednesdays until Au-gust 27) was another talented group of guys, mostly from the Nelson area.

Mountain Station, a five-piece Bluegrass band featuring vari-ous combinations of vocals, guitar, fiddle, banjo, dobro, bass and

BE WATER WISE THIS SUMMER!

SPRINKLING REGULATIONS 2014FOR RESIDENTS OF CASTLEGAR, BLUEBERRY AND LUCAS ROAD

Summer can present special problems for Castlegar's water system. During the summer season, daily residential water use can increase by as much as 200% primarily because of lawn and garden watering as well as car washing.

Our residential water is pumped from the Arrow Lakes to reservoirs, from which water is supplied to residents. Excessive sprinkling during summer months reduces the water contained in our reservoirs. Even if the system has adequate supply, it may not be able to pump the water fast enough during this peak demand period to maintain storage for firefighting purposes.

Castlegar is attempting to stop the increase in water usage by restricting use during the summer months. This year citizens are being asked to sprinkle on odd or even days, according to their residential address. Watering will be permitted from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. each day.

Residents who use a water regulating system (e.g. timers and underground sprinkler system with timers)shall be exempted from the regulations, providing they do their outdoor watering between the hours of11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. on an alternating day basis. The reasoning behind this exemption is that timers and underground sprinkling systems allow the user to water during the coolest part of the day, hence less water is required and their sprinkling times should be shorter. Please advise City Hall at 365-7227 if you have a water regulating system.

A fine of $50.00 will be levied for non-compliance to the water regulations. However, under special circumstances, an exemption permit can be obtained at City Hall, 460 Columbia Avenue during regular office hours. Reasons for exemption include the following: a new residential lawn, a means of controllingdust, watering within a construction or building project.

EFFECTIVE JUNE 15 TO SEPTEMBER 15, 2014

SPRINKLING AND CAR WASHINGIS PERMITTED BETWEEN THE HOURS OF

5:00 A.M. TO 11:00 A.M. AND 5:00 P.M. TO 11:00 P.M.

Water Sprinkling is Restricted to Every Second Day

(a) Residents at “odd number” addresses water on “odd number” calendar days; and(b) Residents at “even number” addresses water on “even number” calendar days.

Community/News


An ambitious society, born about a year and a half ago has made significant local impact and is looking to further raise its profile.

The group is the Circle Of Indigenous Nations Society (C.O.I.N.S), and has reached out to the Castlegar News with information on its goals and activities, including the Strengthening Cultural Con-nections Aboriginal Women’s/Youth Healing Conference which was offered at Selkirk College’s Gathering Place from August 7 to 9.

“Our society was registered as a non-profit in March 2013,” stated Executive Director Kris Taks in an August 10 email, “and is guided by seven local

Aboriginal Elders.”Along with Taks, there are

currently four other staff who work in the Healing our Spirits Mental Health and Addictions Program (funded by Interior Health) and the Aboriginal Family Services Development Program (funded by the Min-istry of Children and Family Development).

On the near horizon is a West Kootenay and Boundary Aboriginal Early Years Pro-gram funded by the Ministry of Children and Family De-velopment in partnership with Kootenay Kids Society, Koote-nay Family Place, and Bound-ary Family and Individual Services Society. This program will bring culture and services to early years centres and Ab-original families with children aged newborn to six.

“This is the first time such a conference has been offered in our region,” Taks described, “and it was well attended with 34 youth/women from across the West Kootenay and Boundary region.”

Castlegar Mayor Lawrence Chernoff and Kootenay West M.L.A. Katrine Conroy wel-comed attendees to the event funded by the provincial Min-istry of Justice. A special guest for the occasion was Brenda McIntyre-Medicine Song Woman from Toronto who offered teachings and healing circles.

“This conference was so important for our community and I feel privileged to have witnessed the awakening of spirits and hearts of the wom-en throughout the three days,” Taks concluded.

Aboriginal group goes after its goals

Better support and respect of Aboriginal learners has been pledged by Selkirk College earlier this summer.

College representatives were joined by Metis Nation British Columbia (MNBC) officials and local Metis leaders in late-June at the Gather-ing Place on the Castlegar Campus. The Metis Learners Protocol, which defines a pathway to strengthen the partnership, was officially en-dorsed.

The document acknowledges “the need for improved levels of participation and the suc-cess for Metis learners in post-secondary edu-cation and training in British Columbia and beyond.”

“The Gathering Place is a place where stu-dents can network and meet other Aboriginal people where they have a comfort level and that’s very important because people are afraid to identify at times,” said Bruce Dumont, Presi-dent of the MNBC. “It’s really important that people know their history, know their culture and know their ancestry. It’s been problematic for the Metis for many years because of the resistance where people go underground and don’t identify.”

The Gathering Place is the hub for Selkirk College’s Aboriginal Services programming. Opened in 2012, the Gathering Place provides Aboriginal students with a place to meet, cel-ebrate culture, conduct ceremony, study and relax.

“It’s about valuing the different ways of knowing that cultures bring to the educational process,” said Selkirk College President Angus Graeme.

Bruce Dumont has been the president

of MNBC for 12 years and in that time has worked towards forging important relation-ships like the one at Selkirk College. Before signing the document, Dumont spoke about the importance education can play in the lives of Aboriginal people.

“Education opens many doors and that is something I have seen in my life,” he said. “I come from a family of 10, we have lawyers and doctors and educators.”

Graeme acknowledges that for many people in Canada, the historical failures of the educa-tion system are not easy to overcome.

“There is often an understandable distrust of post-secondary education because of what has happened over many generations,” said Graeme. “Post-secondary institutions have to step forward, support reconciliation efforts and commit to providing culturally respectful and safe learning environments.”

Castlegar Art Walk 2014 APRIL CUFFY Castlegar Art Walk Editor

Castlegar Art Walk 2014 runs until September 14, featuring more than 30 local and regional

artists and artisans, displaying work at 26 venues around Cas-tlegar. Maps for this self-guided art tour are available at the Cas-tlegar Visitor Centre and the Castlegar News o� ce. For more information, please visit www.

castlegarculture.com/culture-guide/castlegar-art-walk.

Each week, � e Castlegar News is featuring biographies from di� erent artists in the show.

BIO AND ARTIST STATEMENT: I am a retired public health nurse living in

Castlegar and I like to stay active in local out-reach projects, my church choir, trail-hiking, painting for Art Walk and writing a monthly newspaper column. I was inspired by my grand-mother, a proli� c artist, who painted primarily in the style of Emily Carr, a contemporary of hers. I � rst painted in oils, then watercolour, and recently acrylics. I paint to share apprecia-tion of the beauty of the world around us.

I love travelling and was brought up going back and forth across Canada because my fa-ther was in the military. In my twenties, I ex-plored Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and more recently I have visited Cuba,

Guatemala and Nicaragua with Habitat for Hu-manity.

When I moved to the West Kootenay area, exploring hiking trails became one of my fa-vourite pastimes. British Columbia is such a beautiful place that I try to paint landscapes to show this special beauty and possibly urge the viewer to see everyday scenes in a new light.

� is year, my show “Around our Beautiful Province,” is meant to give the viewer pause in awareness of the natural world around us. I am fascinated by the interesting shapes of the trees in our woods and the patterns they make, especially in silhouette and have tried to cap-ture this in my Art Walk show at Common Grounds.

About 250,000 couples in Canada are trying to have children but are unsuccessful. Infertility is de� ned as an inability to conceive following 12 months of unprotected intercourse. The causes vary and can be found in either the man or the woman. Testing can determine the cause and the results can dictate various alternatives to achieving a successful pregnancy.

Carrying a list of all the medications you take is a good idea. This list should include both prescription and non-prescription drugs. It can be helpful when traveling or if you have to see a doctor other than your own in an emergency situation. Your list will save time and help you get treatment more quickly.

A survey of the top ten prescribed drugs of 2013 still shows a thyroid replacement drug on top followed by a drug for reducing cholesterol, four blood pressure medications, two antidepressants and one blood thinner. In 10th position this time was a vitamin D product re� ecting the huge interest in the vitamin in recent years.

If going to the gym isn’t your thing and you want a good aerobic workout, try stair-walking. Start slowly and gradually increase the number of steps you go up and down. After a while, take two steps at a time which is good for your large quadricep muscles. And if you are in a building with an elevator, take the steps.

Safety Tip:There are many ways to show courtesy behind the wheel, including allowing space for other drivers to change lanes or manouevre. Driver courtesy is contagious, so wave at the next driver who lets you merge

in front of them – they may just pay it forward to another driver.

Question of the WeekWith the exception of Alberta and Quebec, drivers across Canada can be served with an Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP) if they blow 0.05 mg/100ml at the roadside. Should those two provinces fall into line with other provinces?

Splish, splash diesel dash to ride a waveSummer. What a wonderful time of year, heading out on the open road with family.Okay, it isn’t all fun and games, especially with 11-year-old and nine-year-old boys bickering in the back seat, but for the most part it can be enjoyable. For the first time I decided recently to take a road trip to one of my many car-related events. Usually I fly to a vehicle launch, but this time I thought I would take some extra time, and the family, on the road from Vancouver to Portland, Oregon. While I attended the 2015 Dodge Challenger event at the Port-land International Raceway, my family could take in some of the local sites. Day OneThe plan was to break things up a bit, instead of six solid hours behind the wheel of the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel. Thanks to the Nexus card, crossing the border took all of 10 minutes. The next stop was the Boeing plant in Everett, Washington. This location was first developed in the 1960 when the world’s first Jumbo Jet was being developed, the iconic 747. I take over 100 flights a year but I’m still impressed with the machines that make it all happen, especially the 747. I wouldn’t visit the factory tour on the weekend again. There is no action, just half-built planes sitting around. I found it all amazing but my two boys – Jack and Charlie – didn’t share my enthusiasm.Day Two After a night in Redmond, Washington, we continued our trek to Portland, the land of tax-free shopping and the Evergreen Wings and Waves Waterpark. The waterpark just outside of Portland, in McMinnville, has a real 747 on the roof with water slides that exit the fuselage, pass through the roof of the building and splashing into a huge waterpark complex. This, along with promise of Portland’s famous Voodoo Doughnuts, kept everyone on track for the three-hour Jeep ride.

The Grand Cherokee is a fantastic ve-hicle for an active family of four, there is plenty of room in the back seat, and I never heard one complaint. My wife loved the solid ride and I kept an eye on the fuel economy. At the end of our run to Portland, the average consumption was 8.0L/100km. Pretty nice stuff for a truck with 420 lb.-ft. of torque.Day ThreeThis was the day I had to work. Poor me, trying out the all-new Dodge Challenger Hellcat on the track with all 707 hp. It’s a tough gig. While I was shooting for Driving TV, my wife took the Grand Cherokee to the Waterpark for a day. I checked in throughout the day and the comments were universal.“This is the best waterpark ever!” As I wrapped up the day at the track, I did get a frantic call from my wife “The

Jeep has lost power, I can’t drive over 30 mph, what should I do?”The gang at Chrysler jumped to attention and before I knew it, I was on the road with another Jeep Diesel and being accompanied by two PR reps in a 2015 Challenger. From the track to my stranded family took over an hour; in total they sat at a Shell station for two hours waiting. To pass the time, the kids ate what they wanted from the Shell convenience store and taking “selfies” seemed to do the trick. Once we arrived, we realized a Dodge dealership was literally five minutes up the road!Day FourWith a belly full of Voodoo Doughnuts, including Dou-ble Bubble flavour, fruit loops, coco puffs and good old chocolate, we were ready to go. It took a while for our repaired Jeep to arrive so on we went to sample more tax-free shopping and sample some of Portland’s many food trucks. When the Jeep did arrive, it turns out the Diesel went into “limp-mode” enabling the driver to get to the next dealership. The fix was a

simple computer program flash, which took no time at all. Regardless, we were on the road, heading to Seattle for some underground fun.

Day FiveAfter a great night in Seattle, we woke up to rain, lots of rain, so we went underground to visit the old, hidden city of Seattle. These tours take visitors on a walk through the ruins of Seattle after the massive fire of 1886 and the rebuilding that took place. Seattle is built on top of the old city; there are tunnels and abandoned sections of buildings there to explore. Time to head home. The Grand Cherokee never set another wheel wrong; it was fantastic in the heavy rain and very solid on the highway. After 1,300 plus kilometres behind the wheel, I averaged 8.5L/100km.

British Columbians start driving at an early age.We can barely walk on two feet before many of us are pushing replica models over the carpet at home, complete with self-generated engine sound effects. Then it’s dod-gem cars at the fun fair or pedal cars like those that youngsters will be revving up at the 2014

Vancouver Island Motor Gathering on Sunday at the Viscount Aero Centre, at 9800 McDonald Park Road, in Sidney.Dodgem cars are not the recommended way to learn how to drive as the intent is to ram into as many others as pos-sible! Despite the moni-ker, that’s what I found to be the aim when I got behind the wheel of what were called bumper cars

back in the 1960s. However, the pedal cars from the Tom Thumb Safety Program teach traffic and pedestrian safety to children from five to eight years old and thus introduces hun-dreds of kids every year to the joys of being at the wheel.Of course, the annual Vancouver Island event, presented by the German Auto Import Network

(GAIN) is not just for kids. It promises four-wheel fun for the entire family and raises money for the Children’s Health Founda-tion of Vancouver Island and the Saanich Penin-sula Hospital Foundation.‘Big kids’ will enjoy cast-ing their eyes over hun-dreds of spectacular cars, motorcycles and even some airplanes. Rare ex-amples of the Porsche 904, 2006 Ford GT, and

a 1964 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster will be among many classics. Be sure also to check out the Aston Martin DB5, Lam-borghini Aventador, Fer-rari 348i and Pininfarina-styled 308 GTB. There will plenty of tasty stuff of the food vari-ety upon which to chow down too but please wipe your hands before touch-ing the paintwork of the gorgeous 1990 Rolls

Royce Silver Spirit II, that the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation will be auctioning off. Fewer than 300 were made that year and this car has only 86,000 km on the clock.The Gathering (www.mo-torgathering.com) runs from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. and admission is by a suggested minimum do-nation of $2 per person.

A lot was happening on August 4 at Millennium Park. � e ponds certainly were a fo-cal point but the major events continued following the un-veiling.

A signi� cant park addi-tion yet to come was o� cially kicked o� with the ‘golden shovel’ ground breaking for the combination concession/

picnic/storage facility—the Celgar Pavilion to take shape north of the ponds adjacent to the current changing facilities.

� e Rotary-spawned plan is in the advanced stages of design and development and has received important and generous backing, � nancial and otherwise, from entities including Zellsto� Celgar, � e City of Castlegar, Columbia Basin Trust, Heritage Credit Union; Kootenay Savings

Credit Union, RDCK Area “J.”Rotary Pavilion-committee

co-chair Dave Kravski made sure to acknowledge the � nan-cial contributions of both local Rotary Clubs as well as the im-portant help from WSA Engi-neering and Castlegar Minor Soccer Association.

� e project now waits only for detailed plans and building permits before work can begin and those are expected within a matter or weeks.

Celgar Pavilion soon to take shape

Have you ever wondered why your dental hygienist asks you such detailed questions about your overall health, when you thought you were “just” having your teeth cleaned?

The Canadian Dental Hygienists Association recently released the following statement “I am a dental hygien-ist. I educate and empower Canadians to embrace their oral health for better overall health and well-being”. This declaration serves to promote registered dental hygienists (RDH) as valued primary oral health care providers, not just “teeth cleaners”.

RDH meticulously reviews your overall health status by asking you questions about your lifestyle habits, oral

health habits, dexterity range, stress level, medical condition(s), allergies and medications you take when designing treatment plans for you. By sharing this in-formation with your RDH they can provide you with appropriate oral care recommendations, referrals and suggest the most bene� cial appointment frequency.

Did you know the type of dental products you use could potentially aggravate your medical condition or irritate your oral tissues?

Some toothpaste, mouthwash and other dental prod-ucts contain gluten. Gluten or “glue” is a protein found in wheat and related grains. Gluten gives a chewy tex-ture and helps maintain shape so it is frequently added

to food, plastics, cosmetics and even many dental products. If a person is sensitive to gluten, even a small amount of gluten can potentially cause stomach upset and diarrhea. People who have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should be aware that there are gluten-free dental product options.

An ingredient called sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) which acts as a foaming agent is found in many types of toothpaste. SLS can irritate canker sores and sur-rounding oral tissues, and studies have shown SLS may increase the frequency of cancer sores even within the general population. People who have been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease tend to develop aphthous ulcers or “canker sores” during a � are-up of intestinal in� am-mation and may bene� t from using toothpaste that excludes SLS. Others that may bene� t from using SLS-free toothpaste include but are not limited to: Sjogren’s syndrome (may also want to use gluten-free products) or anyone with a reduced salivary � ow and people that have been diagnosed with lichen planus.

Many mouthwashes contain alcohol which may aggra-vate oral tissues. People that have reduced saliva � ow, certain health conditions such as asthma and people taking certain medications should be using an alco-hol-free mouthwash. The sugar substitute aspartame found in many chewing gums can also irritate an exist-ing dry mouth condition. If you have reduced saliva � ow or suffer from dry mouth, chew gum or use mints that contain the sugar substitute xylitol as xylitol increases saliva � ow in the mouth.

By understanding the potential side effects or compli-cations and knowing there are many dental product options available, allows you and your RDH to select the products that are best suited for you. Many dental of� ces carry these more specialized dental products for your convenience.

Your mouth is connected to the rest of the body and what enters the mouth or resides in your mouth can affect anything from your head down to your toes. Studies have found that some strains of bacteria which cause gum disease increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, lung disease, kidney failure, premature and un-derweight births, diabetes (increase glucose levels) and most recently, increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

Are you presently on or off the “� ossing wagon”? Are your current oral hygiene products aligned with your health status? Make an appointment to see your regis-tered dental hygienist to be educated about how your oral health is the portal to better overall health and well-being. Get empowered today!

“If I go and pre-pare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto my-self; that where I am, there ye may be also.” – John 14:3

One of the best-selling Christian books recently is a supposed account of heaven from a four year-old boy. “Heaven is for Real” by Todd Burpo, tells the story of his son Colton who says he visited heaven during surgery after a ruptured appen-dix nearly took his life. Millions of cop-ies of the book have sold and a movie has been made based on Colton’s story. This book is by no means the first of its kind, in fact these purported eyewitness accounts of the afterlife have become the hottest trend in Christian publishing.

I know that many Christians get excited

about these sorts of things but the truth is, it is dangerous to build your faith on people’s experiences and Hol-lywood is sure to take great liberties with the truth. Thankfully, we have a much more certain foundation for our faith, the infallible Word of God. I am saddened that many church members put more stock in dreams and fanciful imagi-nations than in the Bible. When it comes to extra-biblical rev-elations just remem-ber this, if it does not agree with the Bible is it false and if it agrees with the Bible it is un-necessary. What I am getting at is that God has revealed every-thing He wants us to understand in the 66 books of the Bible. The Scripture is the only legitimate place to get a clear under-standing of spiritual truth.

Is heaven for real?

Absolutely, and the Bible reveals that it is even more glori-ous than any of these best sellers suggest. So don’t be confused or misled by human testimonies that do not line up with the Scripture. Don’t be deceived by those who teach that only a select number can go to heaven and that the rest will inhabit a separate paradise on earth. Such teaching is contrary to the Bi-

ble. The Bible speaks of believers dying and being absent from the body and present with the Lord. It speaks of a future rapture when living believers are caught up to meet the Lord in the air, and shall forever remain with the Lord. Later they descend with the Lord in the heavenly city to the recreated earth.

So what is heaven like? Even in Scrip-ture we are left to wonder about the de-tails, indicating that it is indescribable in splendour. One thing is clear, it is a place illuminated by and filled with God’s glo-ry. Where is heaven? Notice the verse again at the beginning of this article. We may not know the exact physical location but where Jesus is, that’s heaven! Will you live there in eternity? Find out how in the Word of God.

Heaven is Real and what is it like

Introducing our new advice columnist

Dear Miss Sensibility,I always seem to have trouble getting going in the morning. I’m just not a morning person! To make matters worse, my family is always up late playing games and watching television. Any advice for revving up my speed in the a.m. or convincing my family that an early night would be a good idea?

Sincerely,Nodding night owl

Dear Nodding Night Owl,Don’t feel bad about not being a morning person. Although we

often remember that the early bird gets the worm; we forget that

the early worm gets eaten. It sounds like you might be tired in

the morning because you are not getting enough sleep. The usual

advice for getting the best nights sleep is to go to bed and get up

at the same time each day. With that in mind, I would suggest im-

plementing a quiet hour policy. You don’t have to make the rest

of your family go to bed, but only quiet activities like reading are

allowed. That should allow you to get to sleep and them to wind

down before bed and sleep better themselves.

To help get you going in the morning I recommend reaching for a

glass of water before your cup of coffee. Fatigue can be a symp-

tom of dehydration, so give your body a boost � rst thing. Mother

usually knows best, and that same healthy breakfast she nagged

you about when you were a kid will help charge you up for the

day now. So grab something with some protein and whole grains,

add a bit a dairy and a glass of real fruit juice and go take on the

day!

Sensibly yours,

Miss Sensibility

“Astonishing” is how coaches Nick Welych-ko and Michaella Yang described their Castle-gar Aquanauts’ efforts this past weekend at the Kootenay Okana-gan Regional Champi-onships in Trail. There were 32 swimmers who raced, many of whom qualified for provin-cials.

“This was the meet the swimmers had been training for, other than provincials,” com-mented Yang. “It really went to show that with hard work and dedica-tion would come suc-cess. I was so proud

to be a coach of such an amazing team, and cannot wait to see how the provincial qualifi-ers do at provincials in two weeks.”

The team placed top three with every relay swim, and 24 of the 32 swimmers will be heading to provincials in the next two weeks.

“With this being the last swim meet of the season for many of the aquanauts, I was expecting some great swims and that’s ex-actly what happened. Everyone performed to their full potential and achieved all new

best times,” Welychko enthused. “All of their determination and hard work has paid off at the right time. As for the swimmers who are competing at Provincials, this meet was their chance to have good qualifying times. Michaella and I are very excited to see what these swimmers can achieve on the big stage,” he concluded.

Both coaches look forward to the train-ing leading to the final meet of the season, the 2014 BCSSA Provincial Championships to be held in Kamloops.

Excellence in the pool was recognized and honoured Thursday, August 7 at the Castlegar and District Recreation Depart-ment. Every year, the head coach and as-sistant must choose candidates they feel meet and exceed the criteria of 16 separate awards.

“It is always difficult choosing the candi-dates for each award, said head coach Nick Welychko, “because every swimmer aspires to be the very best they can and works very hard throughout the season.”

The night started with a potluck dinner followed by a 25 minute video showcasing pictures taken throughout the season. Some were from each of the seven swim meets, to pictures taken at the junior and senior Hell Week boot camps.

“It’s amazing to see what we have accom-plished within such a sort amount of time,” said assistant coach Michaella Yang. “Nick and I are very proud of what each swimmer is now capable of. This awards night is a tes-tament to each swimmer’s dedication and hard work and it is only fitting that they are awarded accordingly.”

For some of the Aquanauts the season isn’t quite over yet. Twenty four will com-pete in Kamloops at the annual BCSSA Provincials August 15 to 17. This will be the ultimate test of hard work and dedication throughout the season as they will compete against swimmers from across the province.

As mentioned, the coaching staff must choose 16 candidates they feel meet and ex-ceed each awards criterion. Here is the list of awards and their recipients:

Most Outstanding Swimmer: Emma Lawczynski;Best Junior Swimmer, Female: Claire Cartwight;Best Junior Swimmer, Male: Carson Ogloff;Best Senior Swimmer, Female: Sierra Buchanan;

AThis is probably one of the biggest and most costly misconceptions that many business owners have. Usually

this is because they’ve been fortunate enough to never have encountered a major computer-related disaster, but that’s similar to someone thinking they don’t need to wear a seatbelt when driving a car because they’ve never had an accident. Computer networks are complex and dynamic systems that need regular updates and maintenance to stay up, running fast and problem-free. In fact, it’s surprising how fast a brand-new computer will slow down after a few weeks or months of use without proper updates and maintenance. Here are just a FEW of the critical updates that need to be done on a weekly – if not daily – basis:

A computer is just like a car: if you don’t change the oil, replace the filter, rotate the tires, flush the transmission and perform other regular maintenance on your car, it will eventually break down and cost you FAR MORE to repair than the cost of the basic maintenance.

Paula Margerison Mortgage BrokerCompany: Invis

AThat depends on your own personal situation. Right now, the lowest available rate – and the one that makes the rate sign

look great from the street – will be for a variable mortgage. With a variable-rate mortgage, your mortgage rate will move in conjunction with your lender’s Prime lending rate, which in turn tracks the Bank of Canada’s benchmark rate, and will typically be quoted as Prime minus a specified percentage. Unless you have an economic ouija board, you won’t be able to predict what kind of rate ups and downs might be ahead of you.With a fixed-rate mortgage, your payments are fixed for the term of the mortgage, which offers stability. And because of changes to mortgage rules, locking in for five years or longer allows you to borrow more. Fixed-rates are usually better suited to first-time buyers or those who haven’t owned a home for a very long period. Ask yourself these questions: Do you like or need to know exactly what your payment is going to be over a longer period of time? Do you want to avoid the need to consistently watch rates? Do you have less than 20% down? If you answered “yes” to all or most, a fixed-rate mortgage could be the better choice for you. A variable-rate mortgage is best suited to people who have a flexible budget and can tolerate higher risk. Ask yourself these questions: Do you watch market conditions? Can you handle any sudden rate increases that could increase your payment? Do you have more than 20% equity in your home? If you answered “yes” to all or most, a variable-rate mortgage might best suit your needs. Most variables allow you to exercise an option to “lock in” a fixed rate at any time for the remaining portion of your mortgage term or longer.If the uncertainty of a variable rate is going to give you sleepless nights, you’re in good company. Many Canadians prefer the certainty of a fixed-rate mortgage. They know exactly how much they will pay over the term of their mortgage, and they can plan accordingly… with no financial surprises. However, lower-rate variable mortgages with a strong Prime minus offer give you the potential to save on interest. Your best option - have a mortgage professional help you decide which financing best meets your needs.

AEveryone has their own individual blocks which actually cause us to have some

sort of struggle or suffering in our lives.These blocks have all accumulated from childhood. They come in many sizes and flavours. From bad memories, to anything that scared you, doubts that were ingrained in you, to being let down by someone you trusted, all the unworthiness you felt when someone criticized you to failing at something you really believed in.Even though you may feel ‘good’ and are ‘functioning’, just below the surface, there is this collection of old beliefs, emotions and programming that is strongly influencing your behaviour and motivation. All these experiences, add up to ‘Internal Blocks’ that keep us from having the life we truly desire & also having more money. These inner blocks are the culprits of *procrastination * making poor choices in life * avoiding setting goals to work towards in life & in your biz.You may set a clear intention for what you want and then wonder why it’s not working. Chances are, your ‘Internal Blocks’…cancel them out EVERYTIME!All these hidden blocks steal your freedom of choice and bind you to invisible chains.Uncovering your blocks can be painful but finding them you finally understand why you don’t have more money or the life you dream of.With my clients, I use the cutting edge tool of Tapping or E.F.T. to bust through these blocks, clear the resistance and help clients move forward in their life.Are you ready to bust through your blocks? Reach out, let’s talk!

QI know I have some ‘blocks’ within me that are keeping me ‘stuck’. How do I bust through them?

AThis is one of the most important reasons for having a Last Will & Testament. If something

unfortunate were to happen to one or both of the custodial parents; who will raise their children? I know that the importance of this occurs to most parents (at least in their head); to designate who will raise their minor children should the unthinkable happen. But strangely enough, it is just this demographic that seems to push the task aside. Someone else will have to explain this phenomenon to me because it is one of the more frustrating aspects to my profession. These little people are created and cherished and make up the most important parts of their parents very existence and yet, they fail to designate guardianship. Odds are that this may never be an issue but is it really something you want to gamble on? If there is no designated guardian, this could mean foster care and whether or not that is a temporary situation, it undoubtedly adds to the trauma of their children’s’ loss.

In past interviews with clients, they have an idea on whom they’d ‘like’ to raise the kids but have not broached the subject with the ‘chosen’ ones. This is a pretty huge request you are making of these friends and/or family so having that conversation on whether or not that is a job they’d be willing to take on is crucial. It’s also important to have a back-up plan in case something changes for the first guardian(s). Life does have a way of throwing us the occasional curve ball so a plan B is absolutely necessary.

It’s not like these decisions are set in stone. You may change your mind and choose to modify wishes/choices and, barring mental incapacity, you can make those changes to any of your estate planning documents. With the files being saved on server/computer, the cost to make those changes is minimal. It certainly isn’t a reason to put off taking care of things now.

Taking care of this stuff is important! If you haven’t done so, get on it.

Sports


Young soccer dreams got a Major League boost during a three-day soccer skills camp–August 6 to 8 at Millennium Park. The camp was operated under the high profile guid-ance of the Vancouver White-caps FC.

The event was overseen by Brett Adams holder of a long and successful soccer back-ground. Adams was recruited in England by the Whitecaps and moved to Nelson to be the Kootenays’ regional head coach. He said he and his fam-ily are very happy with the re-location.

“The Kootenays, as a whole, has embraced me everywhere I go,” he said last Thursday morning.

“We’re running centres out of Nelson, Castlegar, Fernie, Cranbrook, Kimberley, and branching out even further than that.”

Adams was asked first about the local state of the game, and the thrill of the young-sters’ connection with a Major League Soccer team.

“Most definitely,” he said of the fun and excitement among the kids. As for the profile of the sport, he said, “I’ve been here since September. In that short time things have grown in the Castlegar area. We’ve worked with Castlegar Minor Soccer, and also with surrounding ar-eas. For us to run our first in-dependent camp and get close to 50 kids on there, it’s a huge success.”

A very detailed plan is being followed to the letter.

“We want to be involved in this area, help grow the game and help get these players onto the next level,” the Kootenay head man declared.

Seeing how Adams and his staff conducted the affair it was obvious why a youngster would benefit from the experi-ence. Different age groups were immersed in fast paced action, the Millennium Park venue and perfect weather allowing the kids to concentrate fully on the instructions of their coaches.

Adams said a similar camp was coming up the following week in Nelson and would in-clude an appearance by a re-cently-retired Whitecap.

“We’re being greeted there by former captain Jay Demerit, former U.S.A. International,” said Adams. “We’ll invite some of the players from here to come and meet a real live pro-fessional soccer player who’s played at a World Cup.”

A couple of players in the 12-15 age group were chosen by their coach, another English transplant, Sam Heap, to field a couple of questions from the Castlegar News.

The first question? ‘What are your first impressions of the camp?’

“I think it’s great,” said 15 year-old Emilie teBulte. I’ve been to a couple of Whitecaps’ games and it’s awesome to be a part of that. They’re playing at such a high level, and to be able to be taught by people who have been around that, I’ve

seen that firsthand. It’s just…awesome!”

Emilie started playing soc-cer at the age of five, and hopes to stay involved well into her adult years.

Twelve year-old Thomas Vo-gel said professional instruc-tion offers him a great chance to improve.

The strapping pre-teen hopes to stick with the game at least until he’s 18 but agreed that he’ll take things as they come.

“Of course,” he said of the open-ended timetable should things continue to go well for him. “It’s been my favourite sport all through my life. It’s a great chance to connect with my friends, too, because they all play. It’s lots of fun.”

Fun? Everyone was hav-ing fun on a beautiful mid-summer morning–living the important early stages of their dreams under the mentorship of high-end coaches.

There was a lot of excitement to go around, including these comments from coach Dylan Bennett of Nelson, recorded as the session at Millennium Park came to a close.

“Awesome. I’ve never had an opportunity like this,” said the 17 year-old who holds a Soccer for Life qualification, which he says is “the highest one before you start being a professional coach.”

The future, as they say, is full of promise. And who knows? The name on the back of a Whitecaps’ jersey may one day belong to one of the kids at the 2014 Castlegar soccer camp.

This is my 9 year old German Shepherd name Bonnie. She got loose from my yard in the Okanagan, was picked up by a neighbour and handed to the Regional District of Central Okanagan. After a dispute on the fee they wanted to charge she was shipped to the Nelson SPCA where she was adopted.I am desperate to get in touch with the family to let them know that Bonnie is a loved member of our family and due to a series of unfortunate events has now been taken away from us. I am willing to pay the family who has adopted her all the fees they paid. We just want our Bonnie back and we are certain she wants us back too.
