� e Kootenay Festival’s motto is “Let’s Cel-ebrate” and the public heard and answered the invitation in a big way on Saturday, July 26.

Audrey Polovniko� , one of the organiz-ers, was tracked down for a comment on the

2014 version of the party designed to recog-nize cultural diversity, plus talents of all sorts: the performing variety and many others.

� e strong turnout of all age groups was a very pleasing component of the festival, particularly during the set of Bobby Bovenzi of Okanagan Falls.

� e man is like a pied piper of the drums–

supplying drums and tambourines for 40, or so people, and getting rapid results.

In next to no time the personable percus-sionist had the group playing a prescribed ar-rangement, much to the delight of drummers from toddlers to seniors. As for the drawing

power of the fourth festival, Po-lovnikoff was all smiles in providing an update, especially since the influx of arrivals kept steady even late into the day.

“This year?” she began, “busier to this point (about 4:00 p.m.). The enter-tainment is spectacular, we have more of an audience and the vendors are very happy with the number of people passing through. It’s just a fantastic day.”

Polovnikoff described the level of accommodation devoted to the 40 vendors and 12 food outlets.

“All of us volunteers in the red shirts make sure they’re well looked after.”

A couple of vendors were randomly

selected and asked about their day, and both were positive with their responses

Johanna, of Nelson’s Gypsy Wagon Wood Fired Pizza was clearly earning a decent return on the day’s effort.

Cozied up to and stoking a pizza oven in 30-plus degree weather defi-nitely indicates dedication.

“It’s been very good,” said Johanna Mickle when asked ‘how’s business?’ “We’re going to sell out ahead of sup-pertime.”

On the hot-sounding topic, “Slow-burn” of Nelson, makers of ecosoycan-dles, appeared to have a worthwhile experience at the festival. Proprietor Phil Wilson Birks said interest and business was steady all day.

The various stage acts offered tre-mendous variety and a consistently

high level of talent and showmanship.As Polovnikoff stated, a particularly

encouraging component was the fact that a good number of the acts (in-cluding Bovenzi) had been the ones to approach organizers hoping to be in-cluded on the playbill.

All of the infrastructure of the event was just right, with a slight change in site layout getting the vendors and the stage closer together. It worked out well.

It won’t be long before the organiz-ing committee meets to debrief on the festival just passed and start making plans (possibly quite big ones) for next year. Not to let the cat out of the bag, but keep an eye and an ear out for news about the 2015 event and where it will be held.

The scene of fire-trucks at a gas station is always a frighten-ing one, such as this one at the PetroCan station at 20th and Columbia Avenue on July 24.

Pictured is the af-termath and clean-up of a diesel spill from a vehicle at about 9:00 a.m..

Fire Chief Gerry Rempel, at the scene, said it looked worse than it was, and that diesel is a much more stable fuel than gasoline or propane.

“It looked like there was maybe some damage to the

tank that nobody knew about,” said Rempel.

“It’s not so bad, it’s just spread over, it looks like there’s a lot more than there actually is.”

One day after a group of local youths had returned from a two-week trip to Castlegar’s Japanese sister-city of Embetsu and other far east lo-cations, a delegation of Embetsu dignitar-ies arrived on the af-ternoon flight from Vancouver. They first visited the Kootenay Family Place and then visited Mayor Chernoff and had the tour of the City Hall.

jim sinclairCastlegar News Editor

Conservative Party members in the new riding of South Okanagan West Kootenay have elected Marshall Neufeld as their candidate for the next federal election.

The ballots were counted Saturday evening, July 26, and Neufeld won with 88 per cent of the votes. With widespread support and endorsements from Jim Gouk and Stockwell Day, the results were not a surprise.

Mr. Neufeld stated, “I am incredibly honoured with the response I got from the membership of the entire riding. We had an incredible turnout espe-cially considering it is the middle of summer.”

Marshall Neufeld currently works as a Real Estate Agent in Penticton where he was born and raised. He also has family connections in the West Koo-tenays with close relatives in Trout Creek and Castlegar.

At age 32, Marshall Neufeld is younger than your average politician, but he is not without experience. He was encouraged to enter politics by Stockwell Day and worked as Day’s Se-nior Parlimentary Assistant in Ottawa.

He has worked for the Conservative party on behalf of other candi-dates in previous elec-tions and was elected to represent B.C. on the National Council of the Conservative Party. Neufeld has also served as the president of the local Conserva-tive riding association. His leadership history also includes volun-teering, fundraising, Vice Chair of the Penticton Christian School Board, work with the Good Samaritan Society and serving on the Board of the Penticton Church of the Nazarene.

In response to the question of how he will stay in touch with the rural ar-eas of the riding outside of Penticton Mr. Neufeld replied, “I see this riding as having two main population centres and whomever the MP will be has to see it as almost doing double duty. You are going to have to work incredibly hard to make sure that the populations of both halves of the riding are feeling that they have complete access to their Member of Parliament and that they

are being heard. For my part, I am going to make that a priority. If I am suc-cessful, I will have both an office in the Okanagan and one in the West Koo-tenays.”

When asked how elect-ing a Conservative would benefit Castlegar Mr. Neufeld responded, “You will have a Member of Parliament who will be speaking out in favour of expanding our economy

and building our resources through-out the country. Having a better economy helps everyone throughout the country, including Castlegar. I am pro-business and I will be looking for-ward to working with local businesses, the airport specifically and any other infrastructure related projects to try to improve things for the area. It’s not al-ways about what the local area can get but who the person is going to be, the values they hold, and what they are go-ing to fight for in general within Par-liament. It’s important to elect a mem-ber of the party who has a real vision for the country, who is going to make the economy a priority.”

Councillor is eager for airport upgradesjim sinclairCastlegar News Editor

With mid-summer slowdown symptoms having wide ranging effects, (city council holding no formal meeting between July 14 and August 11, for example) council members maintain their opinions and concerns.

Councillor Kevin Chernoff, for one, counts airport-relat-ed matters among his top issues and spoke about them when contacted on July 25 by the Castlegar News.

The call was an ex-ploratory probe and Chernoff indicated the airport is an on-going concern as it is for many in this area.

He mentioned that the issue had been raised by members of the public during the federal Conservative party nomination event at the Sandman Inn on July 24.

Councillor Cher-noff said the public was assured by each of the would-be nominees (eventual winner Marshall Neufeld, Stephen Hill and Rick DeJong) that improvements in reliability and frequency of service would result if they were to gain the par-liamentary seat in the next election.

For its part, the City of Castlegar has waded into the process of techni-cal airport upgrades

in a significant way. Looking back a year and a half or so when the WestJet carrot was dangling in front of us, civic officials had promised en-hancements to navi-gational capability (to properly equipped planes) at the air-port to the tune of about $300,000. The proposed improve-ments, they said, would enable take-offs and landings in a greater range of weather conditions.

Councillor Cher-noff expressed frus-tration at what has transpired since then, with various other levels of government and agencies appar-

ently getting in on the process.

“For us, we’ve committed to that (upgraded equip-ment) regardless,” said Chernoff. “But obviously, if the prov-ince is going to tell us they’ll help us, maybe give us some money, we wouldn’t turn it down. At one point we were ready to do it ourselves, then Transport Canada said, ‘We’re going to do it and we’re going to pay for it.’ The only problem with that is it’s not on our time-table, but theirs.”

The equipment the councillor refers to is involved with the tracking of aircraft

from the Castlegar airport, and again, individual planes must be correspond-ingly equipped for the updated system to work.

“We’ve been work-ing all along on get-ting Air Canada to switch some of the planes they have that are capable to this route.”

A best case sce-nario, as Chernoff ex-plained, would be for one of Air Canada’s properly equipped Bombardier Q-400s to be deployed for Castlegar service from October to April, the relatively high cancellation time of year.

Councillor Kevin Chernoff, expressed frustration on what has trans-pired at the Castlegar airport.

Swimsuit mission impossibleOff the Line - Karen Haviland

It’s that time of the year again la-dies—time to either haul out that old bathing suit or go shopping for a new one. Guys, that sounds simple, right? Ha ha. Just ask a woman.

The other day it became obvious that I needed a new bathing suit. With a weight loss of 75 pounds and the inevitable sag of stretchy material after much use, there was no denying that a new bathing suit was in order.

It had come to the point where I realized that I would have to go and engage in the dreaded swimsuit shopping.

I know it’s hard for guys to under-stand the apprehension and near- terror women feel when faced with the task. After all, the male species of humans simply goes to the rack and grabs swimming trunks in their size. No muss, no fuss.

Not so for a woman.The other day, as my husband

and I were driving down the street, I made a comment about needing to replace my bathing suit. I admit that I had been putting it off for a good long time because, quite frankly, there is not one woman I know (in-cluding me) who relishes shopping for a bathing suit. Let’s put it this way,:I would rather put my tongue

to cold metal in the winter than shop for a swimsuit.

As soon as I uttered “swimsuit,” my husband, always the helpful soul that he is, suggested we stop right then and there and direct our efforts towards finding one.

Guys, here’s a hint: do you know what is worse for a woman than shopping for a swim suit? Answer: shopping for a swimsuit with a boy-friend or husband in tow.

I distinctly remember swimsuit shopping a couple of years ago. It was frustrating at best, but there was my husband, trying to lend a hand and pawing through women’s swimsuits.

“How about this one?” he asked.With horror, and just a bit of mis-

placed amusement, I tried to gen-tly explain to him that overweight women in their sixties really don’t look all that smashing in an itsy bitsy, teeny weenie shocking pink bikini. I think he got the message because the next bathing suit he picked out was a doozy.

“How about this one?” he hollered across the racks of clothes while holding up a swim uit fit for Godzil-la—an aging Godzilla at that. What can I say? It was ugly with a capital U and H-U-G-E as in dirigible. In fact,

I would be surprised if the designer label wasn’t Good Year.

Resisting the almost uncontrol-lable urge to grab his arm and shove him out the store doors, I instead smiled sweetly and said, “Uh. I’ll try it on with the others,” knowing full well that I would rather die than ever try on that monstrosity.

So, with my two picks of suits, and his one huge failure of a Hindenburg effort, I headed for the change room. Trying on the suits is worth a whole story in itself and is probably best left until another time, but I’m willing to bet that every single woman read-ing this knows what I mean. I’ll skip those details, but I will share with you (and now, I guess my husband will know too) that I never took that one suit off the hanger.

My personal shopper AKA The Husband was patiently waiting for me as I came out of the dressing room. His eyes widened quizzical-ly and then he said, “I thought you would come out and model it for me.”

Needless to say The Husband has now been promoted from personal shopper to personal assistant and will no longer have to suffer the ire of a woman on a swimsuit mission.

Each year, local governments are required, by law, to release financial information detail-ing how much was paid on salaries, including a list of all employees that made more than $75,000 per year.

And each year, most media outlets grab those numbers and throw them into their newspapers and onto websites.

The difficulty is, they are just numbers. You can gaze at them for hours but they won’t tell you anything, not without context.

Does running these numbers serve the pub-lic? Does it explain government spending?

With those questions in mind, Black Press papers in the West Kootenay decided to join forces to bring a more complete picture to the financial statements.

Led by Nelson Star reporter Greg Nesteroff, reporters in Castlegar, Trail and Grand Forks began compiling information to create a com-prehensive package that examined, not just the salaries paid, but the population of the com-munities and the services offered.

Instead of just looking at the totals, our re-porters explored where that money was being spent.

The result is a three-page feature called Crunching Numbers. It looks at local cities, school boards and regional districts in our area and compares their figures. The special news feature will be published in the next West Koo-tenay Advertiser on July 31.

We encourage everyone interested in know-ing where their municipal tax dollars are going to read it.

More importantly, we want to know what you think. Did we dig deep enough into the story? Does it make the numbers more under-standable? Do you want more features like this?

Send your editor an email, a letter, post to Facebook or on our website. Make your opin-ion known.

On Number Crunching


LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thanks & SpanksThanks & SpanksHave a complaint? Or has someone brightened your day?

Thanks for the municipally-supplied bags that allow me to pick up the evidence of oth-er dog owners’ shirked responsibilities.

Spanks to businesses who claim employee diversity, then fire an employee at the first sign of adversity.

Editor:Here are five of the “top ten” facts (in no

particular order of priority) that have been communicated to us by parents, grandparents, teachers and other concerned citizens about Premier Clark and her government’s stand against teachers and public education in this province:

1. The fact that kids are being shamelessly, “cheated,” “short-changed,” “denied,” and “fis-cally managed” out of $1,000 per student as compared to the national per student funding average. British Columbia is second to last in public education funding per student in Can-ada.

2. The fact that Premier Clark’s Deputy Min-isters have “cashed in” by receiving salary raises of up to 14.4 per cent in 2013/2014 when pub-lic sector unions are expected to “accept” and have received 1 to 1.5 per cent raises in their “settlement zone” contracts for the same time period because of the government’s fiscal re-straint and “cooperative gains” mandate.

3. The fact that parents and grandparents of special needs’ students believe their kids and grand kids are being “main-streamed” (“ware-

housed”) into classrooms without the resources to provide the individualized support that their children and grand children require.

4. The fact that teachers have moved from other parts of Canada to what they thought was a “have” province and ended up teaching in a “have-not” province with a public educa-tion system that receives “bottom-of-the-bar-rel” funding.

5. The fact that Premier Clark sends her son to a private school sending a strong message that private schools must be “better” and “saf-er” than public schools or that public schools and teachers are “not good enough” for her child.

Are teachers obviously wrong and will de-stroy any prospect of a healthy BC economy if funding for public education is increased to the national average and class sizes decreased? We would have more specialist teachers, our work-ing conditions and kids learning conditions would improve and we would be treated with respect and valued more.

� e Selkirk Geospatial Re-search Centre (SGRC) has helped restore a hallowed historical site in Ootischenia, and they’ve done it using the most modern tools available.

As part of the Ootisch-enia Doukhobor Cemetery’s two-year restoration project, the Selkirk College-based re-search centre was contacted earlier this year to help with the tricky task of ensuring grave markers were returned to the proper resting place af-ter signi� cant landscaping was completed. Using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology, a pair of Selkirk College co-op students com-pleted the important project last month.

“� ey did a wonderful job and we are happy to have worked with Selkirk College on this project,” says Peter Zaytso� , chairperson of the graveyard committee that also included Larry Stoochno� and Peter Kazako� .

� e Ootischenia Graveyard is located just south of Castle-gar and was established in 1889. � e original cemetery was known as the Waterloo Cemetery and served the Wa-terloo mining camp until its demise in 1902. In 1908, the Doukhobor community be-came the steward of the cem-etery and it has remained an important burial site since that

time. � ere are more than 850 interments at the graveyard, many of them unmarked.

With time not treating the site well, two years ago the graveyard committee em-barked on a project to re-store the area with help from a Regional District of Central Kootenay grant.

“It was very di� cult to keep it in a tidy state because of the overgrowth and nature taking its toll on the land,” says Zay-tso� .

� e project hit a critical juncture when moving the gravestones was required in order to level the land. � at’s when the SGRC stepped in. Zaytso� was directed to the geospatial centre of excellence by a former Selkirk College employee and help was on its way.

A pair of co-op students—Barry McLane and Christie Rajtar—were assigned to the project in May. � e gravestone removal and replacement re-quired the students to survey the original location using DGPS (Di� erential Global Positioning System) technolo-gy to pinpoint accuracy. Using the survey data and advanced GIS so� ware, the students cre-ated a headstone replacement plan that allowed the grave-yard committee to remove the markers with a high degree of con� dence that they would be

returned to their original lo-cations.

“We really wanted to hon-our these people and their families,” says McLane, “and we made an extra e� ort to be completely accurate in our survey and marker replace-ment planning.”

In the spring, McLane earned a Selkirk College Ad-vanced Diploma in GIS to go along with his Selkirk Col-lege Integrated Environmen-tal Planning Diploma. � ree years into his studies, the Squamish native will return in the fall to complete his Bach-elor’s Degree in GIS on the Castlegar Campus.

“My education at Selkirk has really opened up my eyes to the world of GIS and has provided me with focus on a career path that I love.”

As work on the important historical site nears comple-tion, Zaytso� says the grave-yard can now continue to serve future generations.

“When we come down here to do some work, we also come to visit,” he says. “By the time we say hello to our past, it takes a long time to leave. � ere is more than 100 years of history here and it’s very important to our community.”

What are Words Worth?

“Kick the bucket”Meaning: To die.History: When a cow was killed at a slaughterhouse, a bucket was placed under it while it was positioned on a pulley. Sometimes the animal’s legs would kick during the adjustment of the rope and it would literally kick the buck-et before being killed.

Okay, now how about throwing in the chance to shop for free? Is this getting good or

what?From July 31 to August 29,

pop into one, several, or all of our promotion partners and enter to win a $750 local shop-ping spree. We’re talking 15 local businesses dealing in a huge variety of items and ser-vices-everything from meat pies to compressors, ice cream to eyeglasses!

“Consumers are becoming more aware of the benefits of shopping locally,” says Lisa Sherbinin of the Gift Box. “Understandably, within a small community it is hard

to find everything to fill ones needs, but over time shop-ping local equals more growth, more variety and a stronger community.

“As business owners it is im-portant to educate consumers on the importance of shop-ping locally and how it effects everyone in our community. “Let’s support each other so we CAN support each other,” con-cludes Sherbinin.

A100% of all hard drives will eventually fail. This is a fact. Some will fail prematurely due to manufacturers’ defects while others will fail because

a mechanical part finally wears out. The question is, how long until that happens? Ninety-two percent of all hard drives will survive the first 18 months. These failures are typically due to manufacturers’ defects (oftentimes called the “lemon effect”). Hard drives’ warranties are typically one to three years, which is basically the manufacturers saying that they are only on the hook to replace the lemons. A study by Backblaze.com revealed the following results

So, What Does This Mean?Simple. Back up your data. With a 1-in-10 chance that your hard drive dies in the first three years of its life and an accelerating chance of failure after that, there is no excuse for being caught without a solid backup….Ever.

Make a plan.Build equipment replacement into your budget at least every four years for most devices, with a 10% equipment-replacement expense built in over the 1st year and then again starting in year three. As for that 10-year-old PC in the back room still running Windows XP and your most critical company software? The clock is ticking…

QHow long do Hard Drives really last?

Email: [email protected]: www.columbiacomputers.ca

• During the next 18 months, only a very small percentage of drives (~2%) will fail. These failures are from random “unlucky” issues and occur rarely anytime during the life of the drive. • Beginning in year three, hard drives start to wear out due to usage. They are simply mechanical devices that are getting old. 80% of drives will make it to year four and then they drop off at about 12% or more per year thereafter. • The failure rate is essentially a U-curve with most failures very early on or after the three-year mark.

AIn a word, YES. An Enduring Power of Attorney allows your attorney to do act on your behalf, in legal and financial

matters, should you become incapacitated due to accident or illness. Most of us will come to a time in our life where we will require this type of assistance.

Do you own property with another as a ‘joint tenant’? If one owner becomes incapacitated, NOTHING will be done with that property until the afflicted tenant regains capacity or passes away. As a ‘sole’ owner, your incapacity doesn’t stop the mortgage payments from coming due. The alternative to having a POA in place will be a court procedure that will appoint a ‘committee’ to act for you. Court proceedings tend to be quite expensive. A valid POA can avoid the necessity for such a procedure.

You can also use a specific Power of Attorney as a tool of convenience. Snowbirds selling a property might be in Arizona for the winter and not wish to return just to sign papers so they will have an attorney to do it for them.

You must have ‘full capacity’ when drafting a Power of Attorney. This is why it’s important to do it sooner than later, because unfortunate things can happen to anyone, at any age.

When you appoint another to act in your capacity, your trust in them must be well placed. They are to act on your behalf and in your best interest. It is not so much an honor as it is a job. There are legislated duties and responsibilities that must be followed so be sure they wish to act in this capacity.

The Power of Attorney is but one part of a complete estate plan. Give me a call if I can help.

Hi Miss Sensibility,I am married to a wonderful man. He is a great father and a loving husband but ... he’s horrible at buying me presents. Every year on our anniversary or Valentine’s Day, I wait to see if I will get a gift at all (let alone something that I like). Most occasions I get nothing but some-times he gives me a horrible gift like a � ashlight or batteries. I do not need him to spend a lot of money but I would like him to be more thoughtful and get me something small that he knows I might like ... or even � owers. I have tried dropping hints, bluntly telling him, and even writing lists of things that I want. He just grunts and says that he prefers to show his love in day-to-day gestures and doesn’t believe in the commercialism of those special occasions. While I see his point and agree to some extent, a part of me is old fashioned and just wants a darn present once in a while! Signed Gift-less

Dear Giftless,You are lucky to be married to a man who is loving and a good father. His efforts to show his love are nice, but obviously are falling short of the kind of action that speaks to your heart. Your husband is showing love in the way that he feels love. Each of us has what you might call a love language. There are certain types of actions that make us feel loved, and these are not the same for everyone. For example, some respond to verbal af� rmation, oth-ers acts of service, and some gifts. It sounds as if your husband is trying to show his love through daily acts of service to you, but you would hear that love better if it were wrapped with a bow.

You can choose to look at the things he does as signs of his love and shrug off the lack of gifts considering a husband that is steadfast preferable to one that buys gifts to make up for his lack in other areas. You could also leave the newspaper open to this article and set it beside his morning cup of coffee with the hope he will read it and begin to think about speaking your love lan-guage and dreaming up what he can buy you for the next holiday.

Sensibly yours,

Miss Sensibility

What’s good for business is good for the community over-all. That’s the accept-ed and widely shared opinion of Castlegar City Councillor Dan Rye on the local retail landscape.

When questioned last week about cur-rent issues of con-cern, Rye mentioned the economy, room for retail growth and a pair of local busi-nesses which stood out for opposite rea-sons.

“We need to build a stronger business community,” he be-gan. “We’ve got some big holes to fill, the mall at No Frills, for example, it would be nice to see some retail businesses get set up there.”

Rye subscribes to the common no-tion that business is the essential fuel of a healthy economy.

“All that will keep more people in town,” the council-lor stressed, “which means more jobs generated in town, more money staying in town instead of heading out.”

Reminded that tasks such as eco-nomic stimulus are

easier said than done, Rye spoke of what the City is doing to help nurture a larger, more vital retail sector.

“We do have the concession where, if you re-invest in your business you’d get a tax break… I think that’s going to contin-ue this year. There are a couple of businesses that have taken ad-vantage of that. The Chameleon (Mar-lane Hotel) is one of them.”

The City of Castle-gar has taken affirma-tive action as far as setting the table for business, according to Councillor Rye.

“We ran water and sewer across the bridge to that land out by the airport, and we’re constantly looking at different ideas for out there. We need that devel-oper to come along, who’s going to devel-op that property. The City’s not into devel-oping commercial sites but we certainly would encourage anyone who comes into town and would work very hard with them.”

Rye indicated the City has taken op-portunities to travel and promote itself, as with last year’s at-tendance at a form of

trade show in Whis-tler, and will look at making similar ef-forts in the future.

The councillor not-ed that often a posi-tive step in terms of business is matched by a negative one. He used a soon-to-open restaurant and a clos-ing fabric store as ex-amples.

Warren’s Wok is filling the void left by the former Mazatlan restaurant on Co-

lumbia Avenue, while the departure from the downtown core is Jean’s Material Things in the 300 block of Columbia Ave.

The fabric store move, according to Jean Schwan is for health reasons and not due to any sort of retail-related woes.

Schwan said it was time to let it go.

“I don’t want to retire. I love what I’ve been doing very

much,” she related. “It’s a shame but it’s still going to happen. I’ll still have my on-line store.”

Melody Diachun has a voice and a person-ality that team up to make a new listener a fan before the first chorus even comes around.

Personable, confident and utterly accom-plished, she is just plain fun to listen to. When she’s offering up time-tested material backed up by seasoned sidemen like Rob Fa-hey (bass) Tony Ferraro (drums) and hus-band Doug Stephenson on guitar it’s enough to make you wish one hour was three.

Diachun’s show had been scheduled for Kinnaird Park on July 24, part of the summer-long Concerts in the Park series Wednesday evenings. However Mother Nature had too much moisture to deliver so plan B (the Cas-tlegar Community Complex) was utilized for the roughly one-hour set.

Diachun’s theme for the evening was well-loved popular music of Brazil, alternating with equally, maybe even more popular clas-sics by the Fab Four. With so many gems to choose from in the Beatles’ catalogue, where would a tremendous singer start? Think in terms of Hard Days Night and Yesterday and you’re getting the idea.

On the Brazilian end of things, the pri-

mary focus was the music of Antonio Car-los Jobim, whose name is synonymous with languid rhythms and pleasing melodies of South America’s largest country. According to Wikipedia, Jobim was a:

“Brazilian songwriter, composer, arranger, singer, and pianist/guitarist. He was a prima-ry force behind the creation of the bossa nova style, and his songs have been performed by many singers and instrumentalists within Brazil and internationally.

“Widely known as the composer of ‘Ga-rota de Ipanema’ (The Girl from Ipanema), one of the most recorded songs of all time, Jobim has left a large number of songs that are now included in jazz and pop standard repertoires.”

On the topic of standard repertoires Dia-chun explained that whatever genre a song may be, if it is well crafted and stands on its own merits, the jazz community will likely take in on and interpret it... giving it the jazz treatment, if you will.

Melody Diachun is a Juno nominated songstress and a vocal instructor at Selkirk College who had relocated to Nelson from Vancouver a couple of years ago. She said they love it here in the Kootenays and that’s great for them and for us.

Brazil and Beatles tough to beat

Castlegar Art Walk 2014 APRIL CUFFY Castlegar Art Walk Editor

Castlegar Art Walk 2014 runs until September 14, fea-

turing more than 30 local and regional artists and artisans, displaying work at 26 venues around Castlegar. Maps for this self-guided art tour are

available at the Castlegar Vis-itor Centre and the Castlegar News o� ce. For more infor-mation, please visit www.cas-tlegarculture.com/culture-

guide/castlegar-art-walk. Each week, � e Castlegar

News is featuring biographies from di� erent artists in the show.

Bio: I have been a working artist, art

instructor and published author for more than the twelve or so years I’ve lived in the Kootenays. As an art instructor, I teach drawing, “poster design for scientists,” and art ap-preciation for university, college, art gallery, night school, community centre and private students.

I exhibit and sell my work in one-person, group, club, and juried shows, as well as in art gallery rental and sale programs. My works are featured in collections in Scandina-via, Great Britain, China, the United States and Canada.

� is year, with assistance from a Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alli-ance grant, I created a new collection for the 2014 Castlegar Art Walk.

Artist Statement: My drawings focus on simpli� ca-

tion, abstraction and exaggeration, departing from the representational

to facilitate design and � ow of line. Subjects of my drawings are living things, both wild and domestic, as well as the human � gure. � e subject evokes the inspiration to put the line on paper.

I draw animal portraits, as well as animal, horticultural and human subjects, as inspirations for the cre-ation of the lines with the focus of the latter drawings on reductive line, its variation and � ow. � ese subjects are simpli� ed to a few lines that de-scribe their gesture or action.

My recent drawings have been fo-cused on:

• Reduction of subjects to one line, or a few lines. • Interplay of interesting lines, overlapping lines, and connect- ing lines that would not be expected to connect. • Variation within individual lines • Relationships between subjects in a drawing.

Bio & Artist Statement: Doukhobor handcra� ed artifacts represent a signi� cant

tradition of skills brought to Canada by our ancestors from Russia. Some of the earliest crocheting was used as edgings and borders on woolen “zanaveski” (aprons) and bed lin-ens, as well as inserts for miscellaneous linens and cami-soles.

A� er the 1940s, crocheted doilies, tablecloths and run-ners became very popular, and other household linens, such as tea towels, aprons and pillowcases also had beau-

tiful crocheted edgings. Although more recent handicra� s are sometimes inspired by published patterns, the heritage pieces showcase the unique talent of the Doukhobors.

Today, many vintage Doukhobor crocheted doilies are incorporated into creative projects as embellishments for clothing, quilts, shopping bags, quilted table runners, and art pieces. � e Doukhobor Cultural Interpretive Society’s submission for the 2014 Castlegar Art Walk is an exhibit of vintage crocheted art, as well as ideas for upcycling these treasures.

The idea that aerobic exercise burns fat is phasing out. Although it does improve aerobic capacity and cardiovascular � tness; a study from The Cochrane Collaboration found moder-ate aerobic activity to produce negligible weight loss. Ouch! That’s a fact that hurts.If your desire is to lose fat, increase your cardiovascular � tness and strengthen muscles then long aerobic workouts are probably not the answer. You do burn calories during long workouts, but only while you are working out and for a brief time afterwards. How would you like to achieve these goals in less time, with a more diverse workout and have more fun at the same time?

The answer is High Intensity Interval Training or HIIT. HIIT workouts last 20-30 minutes, three times a week and achieve double the fat loss as 30-60 minutes of moderate aerobic activity. (As opposed to 1 hour workouts, 5 days a week) These workouts increase the basal metabolic rate and improve the muscles fat oxidation and glucose tolerance leading to quick and lasting results.

Long-term bene� ts of HIIT include increased aerobic and anaerobic � tness, skeletal muscle adaptations, and lower glucose sensitivity. Type II diabetics showed improved insulin sensi-tivity by 23-58 percent with HIIT. A study involving older Type II diabetic males found eight weeks of HIIT provided no change in body mass, but abdominal fat was decreased by

44 percent. Another similar study involving males and females found HIIT combined with steady activity reduced visceral fat by 48 percent and subcutaneous fat by 18 per-cent.

How Do I Start HIIT?Want to start? The most commonly used and effective method in re-search has been the Wingate pro-tocol. This uses a stationary bike

and includes four to six 30 second full out sprints with one to two minutes rest between sprints. There are several variations including eight second sprints with twelve seconds rest for 20 minutes, or 24 seconds with 36 seconds recovery. This is the concept behind much of ‘spinning’ exercise on a stationary bike; however, living in the Kootenays with our brilliant natural surrounds we can apply these principals to many outdoors activities such as trail hiking, mountain biking, swimming, and even skiing. Check with your doctor � rst before starting any high intensity workouts.

A strong season continued for The Castlegar Aquanauts, who competed at the Kimberley Seahors-es Swim Meet this past weekend. Giv-ing a tremendous effort, the swimmers amazed onlookers.

Coaches Nick We-lychko and Michaella Yang were impressed. “With only 25 swim-mers competing at the meet, both Nick and I were aston-ished at the way the meet turned out,” said Yang. Less than half of the team was there, and with each swimmer competing harder than ever, we took another victory. “Being the last regu-lar meet of the sea-son, I was so excited with how well every-one was swimming,” Yang concludedd.

“Michaella and I are really looking for-ward to both region-als and provincials,” commented Welych-ko.

The Aquanauts are preparing for the Kootenay Regional Meet this weekend in Trail. Both coach-es are ecstatic to see the swimmers qualify for provincials, and to see how much more the swimmers will push their own limits.

Answers for Last Weeks

GUESSWHO?

A worthwhile ex-perience was enjoyed by the U12 Boys soc-cer team at this year’s BC Summer Games in Nanaimo earlier this month. Their fifth-place finish (best sum-mer games result ever for a Kootenay soccer team) only partially reflects how well the boys played over the three-day tournament , according to assistant coach Yuro Ihns.

“Our first round -robin game began against the Thompson-Okanagan team,” Ihns recalls. “The nerves were clearly visible in the first half on both sides. We carried the balance of play and should have been up. Unfortunately, we were down 1-0 after the first half. The boys settled in and played a much stronger second half, tying the game 1-1.”

The second round- robin game was against Vancouver Island-a

very up-and-down af-fair.

“We came on strong and built a 3-0 lead, only to see it dimin-ish to 3-2 by half time,” said Ihns. The somewhat nervous boys would come out strong in the second half to build another three goal lead at 5-2. Costly mistakes would be their undoing, how-ever, as the Island crew would get back on even terms.

Two tie games put

the Kootenay team at two points in the round-robin, and they would likely need a win in the final game of the round-robin against the top seeded team from Vancouver Delta.

“Our final round- robin game was one of our best played games,” Ihns continued. “We matched up very well against the top seed, and carried a 1-0 lead into the final min-utes of play.” A tough

call for a handball in the box led to a pen-alty shot goal for the Vancouver team. The rattled Kootenay boys then surrendered an own-goal on a freakish deflection off an oppo-sition header.

Kootenay ended up losing 2-1 in the fi-nal few minutes. They then played the Cari-boo team to decide whether it would com-pete in the 5/6 place game or the 7/8 place game.

Shaking off the memory of the previ-ous game they easily grabbed a 4-1 win. In the 5/6 place game they had a score to settle against a against a familiar Vancouver Island group.

The determined club quickly built a 3-0 lead, when a simple defensive error made it 3-1.

“This time,” de-scribed Ihns, “the Is-land could not mount another comeback. Behind some solid goalkeeping and some great defending we maintained the lead, winning 3-1 and claiming fifth place.”

The assistant coach sent out a word of thanks to head coach Jamie Spendlove.

“Jamie had our boys playing at a much higher level, imple-menting a system of play that is rarely seen locally,” said Ihns. “Many volunteers at the games commented on how well-behaved and gracious our team was during the tourna-ment, and their skills on the field speak for themselves.”

The competitors from the mighty Zone 6 plan to make some waves when they head to Langley for the 2014 BC Seniors Games.

The Lower Mainland will host the province from September 9-13 with a large number of sports and contests.

Zone 6 is the West

Kootenay-Boundary, and is bordered by Greenwood in the west, greater Trail in the south, Nakusp in the north and Riondel in the east.

Yes, the partici-pants—age 55 and up— enjoy the social aspect of the games but make no mistake, they are headed west to compete.

Zone 6 Executive

Chair Mac Gregory says 135 to 150 com-petitors typically take part in the games, de-pending on how far they have to travel. When held in the West Kootenay in 2011 there were upwards of 400 locals involved.

Here’s a rundown of who will head to Lang-ley from Castlegar in September, and what they’ll compete in:

Kootenay Kodiaks Head Coach Bob John-son, back from the recent Provincials in Prince George with his U16 girls fast-pitch softball squad, said he is proud of the girls and the ef-fort they put forth.

With 18 teams taking part in the tourna-ment, the Kootenay crew earned a fourth place finish in the round robin. They recorded con-vincing wins over Delta (10-2) Coquitlam (11-2) and North (Lower Mainland) Shore (3-2). Their only round robin setback was an 11-4 decision vs South Surrey/White Rock.

Seeded fourth heading into the playoff round, the girls had a pair of close contests: a 4-2 loss to South Delta and a 10-9 nail biter in which Penticton came away with the win.

“The most exciting 10 innings of ball I’ve been involved with in a long time,” described Johnson, who extended tremendous thanks to parents, fellow coaches and team sponsors.

Sculpture Talk

Jelly (steel/� breglass)

Metal artist extraordinaire Nathan Smith is back with an-other intriguing work for this year’s show. � e Nelson met-alsmith/designer somehow � nds time to leave behind the accomplished furniture, rail-ings, gates and other items he creates daily, and cra� bril-liant public sculptures.Seed from last year was sym-metrical, solid, detailed and exquisitely balanced. � is year he takes almost the exact opposite approach, choosing as his subject something di-aphanous, constantly in twin states of motion and suspen-sion, � lmy and transpar-ent. Not too many sculptors would deliberately choose a subject that lacks any real substantiveness, as the jelly-� sh does. It is an interesting

animal to choose to sculpt; to his credit he nails it.Jelly stands nearly eight feet high. While this is far from the largest of the many classes (some have bells nearly this height, and 100 foot tenta-cles to boot!) Smith’s stylized sculpture is representative of the shape of the most com-mon classes. Jelly has the distinctive, umbrella-shaped translucent bell – stunning in blue � breglass - and stylized swaying body and tentacles dangling beneath it. It eas-ily recognizable for what it is. � ere is inherent beauty and gracefulness in Smith’s sculp-ture – the curvature of the tentacles and the angle of the bell suggests the familiar con-traction-pulsation movement of the animal in the wild or in an aquarium.“ I wanted to convey move-ment and weightlessness us-ing the medium of steel,” he says. “It’s challenging to por-tray an animal that is mostly gelatinous. I was striving to get a lightness and delicacy to the sculpture. Even though it weighs around a hundred pounds, I like to think that you wouldn’t know that look-ing at it.”Smith has realized his goal brilliantly. Jelly is specious, airy, almost fragile - a chal-lenge to achieve in a medium usually associated with solid-ity and strength. It speaks to his skill working with metal, something he has been doing since 2003.

Opening his studio Sun-smith Design three years later, Smith’s abiding love is sundials – the company is aptly named. He has cra� ed four accurate, uniquely at-tractive, ornate sundials over the past few years, even as he has expanded his output and the many decorative uses of his metal works. In his gates, fences and railings, Smith will o� en incorporate a solar im-age along with other bits of nature. Leaves, grapes, � ow-ers and trees have all been worked into his distinctively designed, functional yet artis-tic renderings. He o� en collaborates with other cra� spersons and de-signers to create items that combine metal and wood aesthetically. � e door to a wine cellar, chairs, tables, staircases, a handcra� ed bed headboard/ footboard – all marry the striking contrast of wood and decorative metal using clean lines and stylized curves.“Recently, I worked with sev-eral other artisans on a new house. � e owner is a de-signer so she knew what she wanted – our job was to work collectively towards realizing her vision. It was great, I have traces of my work through-out the house, and it all ties together seamlessly with ev-erything else there. A fun project!” � at house on the shore of Kootenay Lake was featured in a Home and Gar-den magazine spread recently. “I’m always up for a challenge when it comes to creating something attractive or func-tional – or both - using metal as my palette,” he says. “Usu-ally it is work that pays the bills, so to be able to create a piece for public appreciation is a treat.” With Jelly he has succeeded superbly, realizing the fragility and delicacy of this most interesting marine creature for the pleasure of all.

Welcome to our regular feature introducing the artists behind the sculptures in this year’s Castlegar SculptureWalk.

Nathan Smith

Whisperer (iron)

Coming to us via Sioux Falls Sculpturewalk, Flori-da sculptor Noelio Gonza-lez dazzles with colour and intricacy in his fanciful piece Whisperer.

Working in iron, Gon-zalez has created a mystical being that is hard to de� ne: is it a woman, a mermaid, an angel? Or is it unde� ned deliberately, a spiritual, imagined presence that ful� lls a void in life and imparts inspiration and advice in times of need?

Regardless of the inter-pretation, it is a stunning work that displays Gon-zalez’ theatrical � ourishes wonderfully while deliber-ately masquerading a de-

� nitive image. Whisperer is bold and detailed with intricate coils spiralling everywhere. Standing over six feet, the piece is sensual and sleek, even in its dis-jointedness.

Ostensibly female, great strands of hair-like iron swirl around the discern-able face. � e breasts � oat separate, minimally at-tached and there is a schism between the upper and lower halves of the body. What look to be buttocks angle down in a graceful, solid curve before the ma-terial shreds in a mass of curlicues. � e entire work is full of them, binding it together in clusters, whorls and � owing lines. � e blue patina Gonzalez has used gives Whisperer brilliance and appeal. It is involved, complex and abstract all at once, and undeniably gor-geous. A sepentine, curved dark base provides appeal-ing contrast and completes the sculpture.

As Gonzalez notes, Whisperer is “beyond our sight but visible, impos-sible to touch yet palpable and impossible to ignore…maybe an angel or a whis-perer.”

Gonzalez’s style tends towards sculpting crea-tures of nature and dis-

guising them somewhat with detail and surrealistic touches. As an example, his dual entries in the King-sport, Tennessee sculpture festival were alike yet dif-ferent. � e Rooster and � e Racing Horse both began as mere strands of iron and mushroomed upwards to display detailed ,nuanced portrayals of their name-sakes that were full of life and passion.

“I try to capture the en-ergy of a physical � gure created by nature, where they are growing from the ground as a weak form and gain body as they rise,” he says.

Gonzalez’ sculpture � e Eagle was in keeping stylis-tically. It won the People’s Choice Award in his home town’s (Kissimmee) Main Street Sculpture Experi-ence in 2012. His work in Sioux Falls Sculpture-walk this year is a toned down version of his animal sculptures that displays his versatility. Done in bronze, a stylized oak leaf rises from the ground, veined and arching upwards in folds.

Whether sculpting natural or magical beings, Gonzalez demonstrates his inventiveness and ability to interpret creatively. What he is portraying in the dis-jointed body and tangled, dense curls of Whisperer is le� to the viewer to decide. What is certainly apparent is the beauty of the sculp-ture as a whole: shimmer-ing, intricate, sinuously wrought iron strands and solids combine together as an arresting, sensual whole.

Fred was happy to live a simple life “o� the grid”. He spent his days enjoying nature, wildlife, pets, his many friends and his gar-den. Fred held various jobs though out his life and was a proud member of the Construction and Specialized Workers Union - Local 1611 for more than 45 years.

One of Fred’s request was to express his deepest gratitude and thanks to all who con-tributed and eased his � nal journey; Home Support workers, Nelson home care nurses, Dr. Larocque, the doctors and medical sta� of Nelson Hospital (3rd � oor). He also wished to thank his family and all cherished friends.

A heartfelt thank you to the very kind and caring Babakae� /Balchewski families for being such a constant and strong support to us and many families when we’ve lost loved ones.

Fred believed that our paths in our life are chosen for us before we are born and he be-lieved that there are similar paths that we take after we die.

A traditional Doukhobour prayer and service were held at the Krestova Community Hall on Wednesday, July 30th at 10:00 am and the burial followed at the Krestova Cemetery.

Hazel,( Grandma Wade) passed away peacefully at Talarico Place in Castlegar on July 26 2014.

Hazel was born on May 24 1933 in Winnipeg Manitoba. She had 2 older sisters and 2 older brothers. Being the youngest she was of course held very precious to the family. During the post war days the children would � nd lots of fun things to do during the depression and were brought up by their father as mom passed away when Hazel was a baby.One of her brothers became a pilot during World War 2 and died during a battle. A lake in Northern Canada was named after him for his bravery. Hazel was married on July 15 1960 and soon thereafter had one son Brent Gavin who was the love of her life. � ey moved from Win-nipeg to Kelowna BC in 1972 where she became a widow and raised Brent by herself.Hazel was always looking to enjoy life with Brent and purchased a camper so they could go camping, even though they didn’t own a car to pull it. Hazel was an immaculate homemaker and worked in a printing binding company in Kelowna until her retirement. Hazel always talked about Christmas dinner in Winnipeg in the old days, and how she missed cooking a fat goose. Well, one year we were able to grant her that wish (which explains the picture). It was the best Christmas dinner we ever had.She loved animals and had wonderful little pups named Daisy May and Boomer. Hazel moved to Castlegar in October 2006, where she purchased her � rst home. She enjoyed being close to Brent and family and her church family at New Life Assembly.Sadly missed Hazel is survived by Brent ( Barb), her sister Dorothy Adams and many nieces and nephews in Canada and USA.� ere will be a celebration of life service at the New Life Assembly 602 7th Street, Castlegar, BC on August 5 2014 at 11:00 am.

In lieu of � owers, donations would be greatly appreciated to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Special thank you to Dr. Merritt, Dr Smart, all the caregiv-ers and sta� at Talarico Place for their excellent care and kindness to Hazel and family. A grateful thank you to Bill Strilae� from Castlegar Funeral Home for his gentle caring to Brent and Barb through this sad time.

In Loving Memory

� e loss of a loved one is so hard to face,

you just want to hide, go somewhere and

escape.

But death is something,we all must go through,

We know it’s hard,when it’s someone you loved and

knew.

Just know now, they are in a better place,

no more hurt or pain shall they face.

It seems unfair and yes this is true, but they is in Heaven now watching

over me and you.

God has called them home to rest.And they’re being well taken care of

Because God knows best.

brewing finds expression in small batch beers, unique flavours and natural ingredients. It’s a family run business which started in the owner’s barn back in 2003, moving to the existing building in 2007, continuing to be very much a family affair. It’s as simple as Good Beer in a Good Town. Although one of the smaller micro-breweries, they have an award-win-ning and popular line up of year round products, as well as new and exciting seasonal products, selling throughout BC, Alberta and re-cently into Manitoba. This past year has seen a number of new and exciting beers. Their new Project 9 Pilsner launched in April and is a huge hit. Whilst their IPA Bucket List Series – comprised of four unique IPA’s, launching over the last year has sparked the interest of many a hop-head, with the final fling, the Last Cast Summer IPA available now. This summer also saw the recent launch of their Kickstand Honey Kolsch, a refreshing Kolsch made with a little help from the bees. Both Project 9 Pils and Kickstand Honey Kolsch will be available at the Castlegar Beer Festival, along with their popular Year-Round Big Caboose Red Ale. Located just off Hwy 3 east of Fernie, Fernie Brewing Co. has a Brewery Store and Tasting Room, open Monday to Friday 9AM-6PM and Saturday 11AM-5PM, selling merchandise, growlers, cold beer and offering regular Brewery Tours.
