Sombre salute to comrades

Andy Davido� , president of the Kootenay Columbia Teachers’ Union says actions by the board of School District No. 20 have hit his membership hard in the early days of current job action by the BC Teachers’ Federation.

“Morale is terrible,” said Da-

vido� on Wednesday morn-ing, the second day of full strike action by teachers.

“We had a couple of things happen that our board did that did not happen in other dis-tricts. One - they took our keys away last Friday and and that was extremely demoralizing.”

Davido� said there are teachers in the district who have 30 and

more years experience who had never before been asked to turn over their keys, “for any reason.”

Another concern expressed by Davido� is that of pay cuts to teachers, with no advance notice.

“In anticipation of job action they deducted two weeks of pay,” he said. “Some teachers received zero pay. We had no notice of this. Not every board in the prov-

ince did this… our board did.”Davido� ’s third point made

on June 18 relates to what he said was a threat from the SD 20 board to “hire external applicants for over 20 temporary teaching posi-tions. Our contract did not have any language preventing that.”

Undying gratitude for a brave and compassionate act was expressed lately by a Glade couple. Alex and Lorna Sherstobitoff formally and publicly furthered their thanks to Chris O’Gorman for saving Alex’s life on June 10. http://www.castlegarnews.com/news/262615611.html“Chris is a very brave man,” states the brief notice brought in on June 12. “All he had was a canoe and a piece of driftwood to paddle with, but he rescued me from drowning.“We also thank the RCMP and Search and Rescue for jobs well done,” the notice con-cludes. “Again, thank you very much, Chris.” Jim Sinclair photo

Gratitude doesn’t get more sincere

A man at the centre of a wild series of incidents at the West Kootenay Regional Air-port in mid-February has had his latest appearance in Nel-son Law Courts last week.

Vehicles were damaged and

a man seriously injured in the disturbance begun in the early morning hours of Feb-ruary 16, as Aaron Nicholas Welch, 29 went on a frighten-ing rampage at the Ootische-nia-located airport. He has subsequently received guilty verdicts (on May 13) for four of those charges which had

included robbery, aggravated assault and resisting/obstruct-ing a police officer.

An appearance on June 10 set the date for a pre-sentence report and sentencing hearing concerning the offender.

Welch’s next appearance is set for August 18 in Nelson Law Courts.

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.

CASTLEGARCC NEWSCASTLEGAR NEWSCASTLEGARCC NEWSCASTLEGAR NEWSOther issues will no doubt

be raised, but a number of hot ones are ready for BC’s new seniors’ advocate when she arrives for a town-hall style meeting in Castlegar this Fri-day.

Isobel Mackenzie was named as Canada’s first ‘Se-niors Advocate’ back in March and the tour which includes the Castlegar stop is among her first series of official du-ties.

She’ll hear some well-pre-pared points of concern from local seniors during the ses-sion at the Community Com-plex, among them: changes in drivers license renewal crite-ria.

The Office of the Seniors Advocate – as outlined in the government press release making the official announce-ment of Mackenzie’s appoint-ment – “will monitor seniors’ services, promote awareness and work collaboratively with seniors, families, policymak-ers, service providers and others to identify solutions to systemic issues and make recommendations to govern-ment on ways to improve care for our aging population.”

Longtime local seniors ad-vocate Sandy McCreight is among the many who will watch with interest what comes of the June 20 informa-tion exchange, although she was not involved in arranging the public event.

She recalled being among those contributing to the pro-cess of creating the advocate’s position.

“We added our input to decide what they should and shouldn’t do, and what that office should look like,” stated McCreight in deferring fur-ther questions to the local seniors association closely involved. Mac Gregory heads the group and was keen on hosting the town hall as soon as he heard about the possibil-ity.

“I don’t know what the pro-cess was but they selected a

number of sights around the province,” he related on June 16. “I got a call asking if we’d host one of the meetings… I jumped at the chance.”

Gregory and his associates then sent invitations to all the regional seniors’ groups as well as the MLA’s office.

“Hopefully we’ll get a great turnout,” he said.

Gregory outlined some of the major concerns he expects to be brought up with the ad-vocate.

“A main issue for us lo-cally that would relate to the provincial government is the non-renewal of the health ac-cord and the effects that could possibly have on seniors,” said Gregory.

“And, although it’s feder-al, we’re really upset with the upcoming cutbacks to postal service.

“They’ll put a lot of seniors out on the streets in the winter, even if they are handicapped.” It’s the hope of Gregory and his contemporaries that Isobel Mackenzie may be able to re-lay some of those postal con-cerns through the appropriate federal channels.

Among the most pressing of seniors’ issues is the one that comes up when a driver’s licence is up for renewal.

“When a person reaches the age of 80 a doctor can re-fer them for a cognitive ability test,” explained Gregory. “In the mind of many of us the test doesn’t have much to do with driving.” Gregory con-cedes that it can spot cogni-tive disabilities, but asserts it also “leaves a lot of leeway for doctors.” He added that some folks he knows were given the test while hospitalized for other reasons… not exactly at their best for taking a test that many consider rather intimi-dating in the first place.

Local seniors may find an empathetic ear with the new advocate who brings 18 years of related experience to her new post.

“I am honoured to accept this important position,” Mackenzie is quoted from the official press release and introduction this past March, “and look forward to applying my experience as I set prior-ities and establish my man-date in the coming weeks and months.”

The town hall meeting gets underway this Friday, 10 a.m. at the Castlegar Community Complex.

To revisit an issue that was making local news about a year ago, what follows is an update on the topic of mobile vendors in Castlegar.

� ere’s no argument that consumers vote with their ap-petites, and the public is likely to favour an increase in dining options. � at being allowed for, the welcome acceptance of the enterprises is not uni-versal.

Last year the matter gener-ated attention as some opera-tors of established restaurants expressed opposition to their mobile competitors, citing a di� erent set of regulations giving preferential conditions for the movable out� ts.

City hall took the matter to heart. A� er a good deal of discussion and the receipt of public and business input, the ground rules were adjusted somewhat.

Councillor Dan Rye an-swered questions on the mat-ter with the bene� t of some hindsight.

“We changed the bylaw,” stated Rye in early June. “� ere are new rates for them (mobile vendors) to pay and there’s a few other stipulations that are in there.

“Mobile vendors used to only have to pay $100 for a licence for the year,” he con-tinued. “Now they have to pay $250.”

� ere are, as of mid-June, three such vendors: Twisted � yme near the crest of Sher-bico Hill on Columbia Ave-nue; � e Taco Truck, which sets up shop alongside Co-lumbia Avenue near 6th St., and Fresh Tracks, which will apparently operate in various West Kootenay locations in-cluding the Sandman Hotel parking lot.

Rossland native Kim Zanussi is happily into her sophomore season at Twisted � yme.

“It’s been great,” she de-scribed on June 17. “We’ve had a lot of happy return cus-tomers from last season and a lot of new people coming by. � e location’s great, easy to pull in and out of.

“We live in Castlegar and have found it to be an amazing community.”

Hartmut Kaden of the Chameleon Restaurant - 330 Columbia, weighed in with a view from a di� erent vantage point.

“� ey (mobile vendors) may be an addition for the people who like the fast food take-out, but on the other hand they are competition with existing restaurants,” he said when asked by the Cas-tlegar News.

“We � nd it a little more di� cult with more fast food vendors,” said Kaden on June 17 adding that he feels the es-tablished, brick and mortar

eateries make a stronger com-mitment to supporting the community, what with prop-erty taxes and year-round ser-vice.”

Going back to the matter which came to a head last year, such that city council felt compelled to legislate it, a lim-it has been installed to control the number of mobile vendors in the city. Councillor Rye explained that the number of mobile vendors may only be 20 per cent of the number of established restaurants.

“Right now we basically have, say, 30 restaurants in town,” he illustrated. “So we can only have six mobile ven-dors.”

Stop this world. I want to get off. Se-riously!

I don’t even know where to begin; the thoughts are rolling around in my brain like marbles. While not naïve, I have al-ways had a bright, although practical outlook towards life, our world, and the people who inhabit it.

It’s my belief while it might be rain-ing there is always a rainbow to look for after the storm. Puppies, kittens and children never fail to make me smile. My glass is half full, never half empty and I believe in the outright kindness of humanity.

It’s hard, however, to hang on to that Pollyanna-like thinking right now. To-day, as I write this column, Moncton and the RCMP are putting to rest their three comrades who were coldhearted-ly shot dead while in the line of duty. Three men. Shot dead. Three men, who but for the whim of a gunman, should be living and breathing.

Constables Fabrice Georges Gevau-dan, David Ross and Douglas James Larche won’t be going home to their families tonight. Shortly thereafter, across the border, two Las Vegas police officers, Igor Soldo and Alyn Beck were heartlessly murdered while eating their lunch in a pizzeria.

Is there a war on police?

Not likely. I believe there is a war on humanity in general.

Earlier this week and closer to home, 75-year-old Thomas Feeney, of Ross-land, was brutally murdered in his home after which the culprit(s) helped himself to Mr. Feeney’s belongings. What is the price of a life nowadays? Is it worth a TV and a few other items? Apparently so to the perpetrator(s).

This morning, as I do every morning, I was scanning the online newspapers. I have a bit of a trap line of sorts. I start the day with our local online newspa-pers and then fan out to the Vancouver Sun, the Province, Global News, and CNN. It’s my routine and how I try to keep connected to this world in which we live.

Knowing it was the day for the funer-al for the Moncton constables, my heart was heavy with pain for their families and friends, and yes, I will admit to a simmering anger at all of the senseless loss of life at the hands of others. Thus, when I read about the Kamloops man who stabbed his common-law spouse in the heart after they both consumed copious amounts of Listerine, that an-ger fanned to a full blown rage; espe-cially when I read that the cost of his spouse’s life was a sentence of four years and five months, less time served.

Now, as I sit at the computer, I can hear the television. Guess what? Yup, that’s right. There have been two sep-arate shootings in Vancouver and two people are dead after a school shooting in Oregon.

I was raised at a time when no one locked their doors. We freely walked about at night and we opened our doors to knocks without looking first. There were no school drills enforcing proper behaviour should a gunman walk into the school.

What is going on with this world in which life has no or little value?

Is the ultimate answer to our griev-ances ruthless murder?

I pity the children who are grow-ing up in an atmosphere of fear and a culture in which such grievances and hurts demand that life is brutally tak-en without thought or shame. School used to be a place of comfort and safety and now it has become an armed camp, complete with onsite police to help pre-serve the illusion of that comfort and safety.

Our children deserve better than that. We all do.

Do I know the answer to this car-nage? No, and it’s likely I never will, but that doesn’t stop my heart from break-ing.

This newspaper rightly focuses on local issues – there is really nothing else it could effectively do and nothing readers would likely want it to. We can take advantage of the large company we’re part of for a good deal of the material we publish, but when it comes down to it a local community paper has it’s own area to concentrate on, especial-ly in this space on page A6.

The front page photo this week provides a local link to an event from the other side of the country. The shooting deaths of three RCMP members in Moncton, NB shocked and saddened the nation, prompting demonstrations of sympathy and solidarity in numerous communties across Canada, including Castlegar. The emotional out-pouring was proof of how highly-regarded our police are in times of tragedy such as the Moncton episode.

The grief was just as acute following the killing of four RCMP members in the town of Mayerthorpe, AB several years back.

What these incidents should also spark is a heightened appreciation of the commit-ment made by the men and women who sign up to serve and protect the rest of us.

There are, unfortunately, no guarantees of safety in any walk of life, but those who choose law enforcement clearly have a high risk they face everytime they start a shift. Each suspicious person they deal with, each crime-related call they respond to could be an invitation to serious injury, or worse.

Police and other public servants by the thousands paid tribute to the three RCMP members back east. The rest of us, each in our own way, can do the same the next time, (and preferably before) we have a reason to call upon the police for help.

An issue that unites us all

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Editor,School learning is about

the connections between kids getting together and teaching each other.

When a teacher asks a ques-tion all kids have their own different answer to tell.

I’ve been learning at Kin-naird Elementary for seven

years, and I’ve had the most extraordinary time journey.

I’ve learned how to make friends, how to listen, how to be patient and be someone who is ready to make good de-cisions – not just for me, but for my friends and family, too.

Of course I’ve learned sub-jects of all kinds, but school is

meant to help us face our fears and not run away from them..

My school family has given me a gift and that gift is learn-ing... how to grow and be a re-spectful human being.

Cassandra Connell,Grade 6, Castlegar

You are welcome to extend complements or less pleasant messages, but please remember, no per-son or business to be identified by name... no threats or mean-spirited diatribes, and no political propaganda.

Successful school experience – all about connections

Building permits are required for any new construction within the Regional District of Central Kootenay. A building permit is required before starting new building construction projects, as well as addition or alteration projects such as:

- Decks - Placing manufactured homes - Carports, garages and sheds - Modifying or adding to plumbing systems

All building permit applications are reviewed for health and safety related design details, as regulated by the BC Building Code. This review will save you time and money through the construction process. The cost of a permit is 1% to 1.5% of the construction value of the project (material and labour at market rates).

Applications for building permits are also reviewed for compatibility with land use regulations relating to the Provincial Agricultural Land Reserve, floodplain management, and Regional Dis-trict zoning bylaws.

Applications for permits and other construction-related information can be obtained at the Regional District of Central Kootenay Building Inspection office nearest you, or online at www.rdck.ca For further information, please contact:

A sharp increase in bear ac-tivity has been noticed in and around Castlegar in recent weeks according to WildSafe BC Coordinator Jenny Wal-lace. A central component in the spike, as usual, is garbage.

“Garbage left accessible to bears is not only unsightly,” says Wallace in a recent press release, “it is ultimately dan-gerous to both bears and peo-ple. Bears that become used to this unnatural food source can become a serious public safety concern, and as a result are often destroyed.

Wallace, with the help of volunteers, has conducted curbside garbage inspections. They’ve found a lot of people are jumping the gun, putting out the garbage the night before pick-up, “often stor-ing garbage in open carports during the week.” Neighbours are put at risk as bears are at-tracted into residential areas.

Along with people being endangered, the so-called ‘problem bears’ typically end up dead. Garbage strewn all over the place is a messy, smelly side effect.

According to Jenny Wal-lace, “there has been consid-erable bear activity in town so far this season and unfortu-nately these animals are find-ing unnatural food from one end of town to the other.

“Typically, bears will move back up to higher eleva-

tion habitats in the summer months as berry crops start to ripen, but unnatural foods can keep them lingering in town. In order to keep bears moving through, it is important that residents are vigilant in mak-ing sure their properties are free of bear attractants.”

Tips to remember:

• keep all garbage securely inside garages or sheds until the morning of collection day;

• consider investing in a bear proof garbage bin if you cannot keep garbage indoors;

• wash out garbage and re-cycling bins regularly to re-

duce smells that may attract bears;

• take birdfeeders down until the end of bear season;

• feed all pets in-doors and store all pet food and dishes secure-ly inside.

To keep an eye on wildlife activity in your neighbourhood, vis-it the Wildlife Alert Reporting System (WARP) map at www.wildsafebc.com. Here, you can sign up to be notified when bears or other species of wildlife are reported near your home.

For more informa-tion or questions call Jenny Wallace at 250-365-8971 or email [email protected].

You can also stay up to date on local wildlife issues by liking “WildSafeBC Castlegar” on Facebook.

To report a wildlife conflict, call the Conservation Officer hotline at 1-877-952-7277.

WildSafeBC (previously Bear Aware) is an education-al program, developed and owned by the BC Conserva-tion Foundation (BCCF) and has been delivered through-out the province since 1999. In Castlegar, WildSafeBC is supported by Columbia Basin Trust, the City of Castlegar, RDCK and the BC Ministry of Environment.

HINT

Whether a concert-goer happened to remember the ten-year run of the Don Mess-er’s Jubilee TV show or not, chances are they would have lapped up every bow stroke, drum beat, dance step and family friendly joke delivered by the Scott Woods Band Monday night at the Castlegar Complex.

True to their advance billing, the super-tight five piece outfit (multi-cham-pionship-winning fiddler Scott Woods, vocalist/gui-tarist Tommy Leadbeater, Scott’s mom – pianist Caro-lyn Woods, bassist/guitarist Bruce Timmins and drum-mer/fiddler/step dancer Kyle Waymouth) put on the sort of polished show that only 56 warm-up efforts can enable. That’s how many performanc-

es they’ve got under their belts leading up to the Castlegar date on the current cross Can-ada tour. As respectable as their talent and work ethic, is their unflagging professional-ism. The group instantly con-nected with its appreciative audience and never let up. With a surplus of smiles and good humour they expertly backed the group’s namesake and his jaw-dropping fiddle technique.

The theme of the show was a tribute to entertainment leg-end Don Messer, whose Ju-bilee ruled the Canadian TV waves from 1959 to 1969. The tribute is loving and accurate with a load of historical infor-mation on the band members and guests who helped make the show popular enough to get better ratings than Hockey Night in Canada in one sea-son.

Tommy Leadbeater does

an excellent job in honour-ing the cast member Charlie Chamberlain. Bruce Tim-mins saluted Messer guitarist Cecil McEachern with a hot instrumental called the Gui-tar Breakdown Boogie. Kyle Waymouth, just 19, dazzled the turnout of about 120 on the drums, fiddle and with his championship step-dancing form.

It’s great to see and hear such high-end talent work-ing so hard to preserve such a well-loved part of our national culture.

The Scott Woods band av-erages 150 shows a year. They had come from Grand Forks and were on the way to High River AB as they made their way back east.

It’s hard to imagine a more completely entertaining two hours, and the sound quali-ty in the complex’s banquet room was excellent.

Two hours worth of musical thrillsjim sinclairCastlegar News Editor

To top off his world-class fiddle prowess, Scott Woods showed off some crowd-pleasing trick fiddling, all without missing a note. Jim Sinclair photo

Introducing our new advice columnist

Miss Sensibility

Do you have a quest ion for Miss Sensibi l i ty? Email your inquiries to [email protected] and Miss Sensibility will answer it in the paper! Names will not be published, but must be included with inquiries. Please include your desired anonymous signature ex: Fed up!

(Castlegar News reserves the right to refuse publication. ”The advice offered in this column is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only. Use of this column is not intended to replace or substitute any � nancial, medical, legal, or other professional advice. This column does not re� ect the opinion The Castlegar News.)

Miss S,My horrible neighbour keeps letting his dog crap in my yard! I have asked politely. I have asked rudely. And I have even picked it up and thrown it back in his yard. I’m at my breaking point!Sincerely, Ticked off!

Dear Ticked Off,I sympathize with your messy situation. There is a reason that the old adage “good fences make good neighbours” has stuck around for so many years. Getting along with one’s neighbours (real or � ctional) has been a recurring theme throughout history whether it be Hatfields and Mccoys, Capulets and Montagues or England and France.

While retribution, or at least fantasizing about relocating the dog’s deposits on your neighbour’s car may at � rst seem like a satisfying answer; it will not likely solve your problem, and will most likely stir up new ones. After complimenting the dog and reassuring the neighbour that you like Fido, I would suggest calmly and politely trying again to plead with your neighbour to make sure his dog does his business on his own lawn. A gentle reminder of the city’s by-laws concerning leashes and animal waste may also be in order.

If those tactics fail, you will need to consider how far you want to take the situation and if you are ready for further con� ict. A call to animal control complaining about the dog being off leash may do the trick. Unfortunately, judging from your neighbour’s previous behaviour, this may not work and you may need to invest in that good fence.

Sensibly Yours

An exhibition titled: “Me-mento Mori: Remember you must die” opens June 20 at the Kootenay Gallery. � is series of paintings by Ymir-based artist Rachel Yoder explores her personal fears about death, and al-lows viewers to contemplate their own feelings about this o� en uncomfortable subject. � is thoughtful ex-hibition was supported by a Major Project Grant from the Columbia Basin Trust/Columbia Kootenay Cultur-al Alliance.

� e Kootenay Gallery also thanks the Kootenay Savings Credit Union for sponsoring this exhibition.

In the West Gallery, Pau-

line Dupas, Sherlin Hen-drick and Diane Burt, mem-bers of the Nelson-based Studio Focus Group ask the question, ‘What happens af-

ter the body dies?’ In medieval times, re-

mains or objects associated with a person were held in a container or shrine re-

ferred to as a reliquary. Each of these artists interprets, using their own mediums, how this practice may be honoured in a more con-temporary way.

� e opening reception for these two exhibitions will be held on Friday, June 20 at 7 p.m. with all artists present. � e exhibits will run until August 2.

� e Kootenay Gallery, located across from the Cas-tlegar Airport adjacent to the Doukhobor Discovery Centre, is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

For more information visit www.kootenaygallery.com.

Bio From a very young age, I

decided I would be an artist and by age seventeen, I had

completed my foundation year at Emily Carr College of Art and Design. Subse-quently, a� er obtaining my diploma in library and in-formation technology, I pro-ceeded to work in libraries for the next 18 years of my life. But I always endeav-oured to stay engaged with art somehow, and therefore continually undertook the role of library displays per-son, in addition to design-ing ads and websites for my various employers. In 2012, I made the decision to leave

my library career and re-turn to visual art full-time. � us far, my work has been in the medium of photog-raphy. I have self-published three book collections and recently received invitations to collaborate on other book projects. My work has been exhibited in regional co� ee houses around the Koote-nays, and was featured in the Castlegar Art Walk 2013 series, resulting in my pho-tographs of honey bees be-ing featured in ARTiculate Magazine’s Fall 2013 issue.

Artist StatementAs a photographer with

a background in painting, I have a particular interest in the abstract patterns of nature. I gravitate towards close-ups, � lling the entire frame with an explosion of texture and colour. � is painterly approach is evident in my latest series of trees.

“Trees” a photograph by Karen Godbout


Community

...sides remained apart, with no imminent breakthrough looking likely.

School District 20 Super-intendent Greg Luterbach re-sponded to the three points raised by Andy Davidoff later Wednesday morning.

1. Keys… and computers. “Given the unknown length

of the strike, the lack of main-tenance and custodial staff, I felt we needed to manage ac-cess to the sites so I requested that keys be turned in,” stated Luterbach in an email, adding that SD 20 was not the only district to make the request. “I did check with the union president, Andy Davidoff first

and he did not express any concern before my request was sent out to all teachers.” Luterbach denied asking for computers to be turned in, but said iPads were requested at one site, “...so we could try and get them upgraded over the summer if the labour dis-pute was not resolved prior to the summer break.”

2. Teachers’ pay cuts Teachers’ pay was adjust-

ed based on the 10 per cent partial lockout, days of work missed due to rotating strike action and the anticipated full withdrawal of services effec-tive June 16.

The issue is that given that teachers will miss a significant amount of days in June due to

the strike and the 10 per cent partial lockout on the days worked, it meant a much low-er pay cheque for teachers for June.

3. Possible hiring of exter-

nal applicants for 20 tempo-rary positions

We approached the local

president early last week to find a way to hold interviews offsite so potential teachers did not have to cross picket lines to attend interviews. We agreed to put things on hold until such time as we knew if the full-scale strike was going to happen. After repeated re-quests and offers by the dis-trict to hold interviews offsite, today the union agreed to such a process.

Labour points, counterpointsContinued from P. A1

Organizers are busy put-ting the final touches in place, while singers and musicians are busy practicing for the Second Annual Pass Creek Gospel Music Festival set for Saturday, July 21.

The concert at the Pass Creek Exhibition Grounds will begin at 6 p.m.

Following last year’s event which drew more than 300 people, organizers have taken audience feedback to heart and extended the showtime by a half hour on each end.

Four local groups are scheduled with the possibility of a fifth to join the program.

The featured group this year is Three and Company, consisting of Dale and Diane Johnson from Edmonton and Brent Anderson from Leduc, Alberta. The group has won a CMA award and has four consecutive nominations for Southern Gospel Album of the Year to its credit, winning the covenant award in 2008. With each member holding down a full-time job, Three and Company is currently in its 15th year performing throughout Western Canada.

A local connection is held by Dale Johnson who is the nephew of former longtime

Castlegar resident Ira John-son – pastor of the Kinnaird Church of God as well as a school bus driver.

The group’s songs are a con-temporary Southern Gospel style with a good mix of old hymns with new arrange-ments.

The concession stand will be open for this year’s festival, run by the Pass Creek Exhibi-tion Society, so please come early and support them. Don’t forget your lawn chairs as seating is limited, and bring a sweater or jacket as it cools off quickly after sundown.

In case of rain at the beau-tiful Pass Creek site the show will move to the New Life

Church across 7th Avenue from Stanley Humphries Sec-ondary School. There is no ad-mission charge but a freewill offering will be taken.

If you enjoy good mu-sic you don’t want to miss this event as our area has an abundance of very talented singers and musicians, many of whom will perform along with award-winning special guests.

All are welcome to this family-friendly occasion but please leave your pets at home.

Organizers are still looking for more volunteers. If inter-ested please call John at 250-365-7456, or email [email protected]

Soccer Success

On Saturday, June 14, the Castlegar Golf Club hosted its annual Ladies Best Ball Tour-nament. The theme, ‘Don your Pearls,’ was chosen to celebrate the 30th anniversary of this tournament. A huge thank you to Heritage Credit Union’s commitment in supporting this tournament every year since 1984.

Although the day began cool and cloudy, the weather turned out to be perfect. A to-tal of 91 ladies golfed in four handicapped flights. Participants included players from as far away as Kelowna and Osoyoos, plus the local Kootenay com-munities spanning from Christina Lake to Balfour, Nakusp, Creston and Cran-brook. To commem-

orate our 30th year, a special prize draw was held for a hand-made queen-size quilt do-nated by our local res-ident and Canadian Quilters Champion, Verna Chernoff. Bev Poole was the lucky winner of the draw, restricted to registered entrants only.

The overall Low Gross winner with a score of 73, was the team of Wanda Flack and Connie Kostash, both of the Christina Lake Golf Club.

The overall Low Net winning team with a score of 60, was Cher-ri Carlson of Castlegar Golf Club, partnered with Wendie Camer-on of Cranbrook.

Thank you to all our community sponsors for your help in our hosting a hugely suc-cessful tournament.

Sculpture Talk

Talking Crows (bronze)

� e inaugural winner of the Peo-ples Choice award (the evocative Peace Sign) for the � rst Sculp-turewalk is back again this year. Nelson sculptor Denis Kleine pres-ents another attractive work for our viewing pleasure.In 2012 he displayed the clever, Marcel Duchamp painting-inspired Man in Motion. � at piece is on loan to the City of Nel-son as Sculpturewalk spreads itself beyond Castlegar and becomes more regional year round. It is � t-tingly displayed at the Nelson & District Community Centre and

there is a local initiative afoot to purchase it outright.Talking Crows is stylistically dif-ferent; truth be told it is a re-work of sorts. Kleine’s initial sculpture of an avian dialogue featured kestrels – the small, chirpy hawks - as the subject but he wasn’t happy with the end result and shelved it for some time. “It just didn’t seem to quite work,” he says. “� en I dust-ed the idea o� and � gured I’d re-do the sculpture using crows. � ey are highly intelligent birds, chatty and noisy too.”He has hit pay dirt. Working in his favourite medium of bronze, Kle-ine’s Talking Crows is animated and vibrant. Sitting on a slender, gnarled, ancient smooth silvery-bronze branch, the two provide � ne contrast while engaging in a conversation. One perches at the top of the branch above his com-patriot, doing most of the talking. � e other rests on a solitary limb below, head cocked listening in-tently . � e branch they inhabit rests on a beautiful oval stone base Kleine has fashioned from granite. � e pair are more realized than stylized, not � gurative but with the � owing lines and style he brings to all his bronze sculptures. “I want

the viewer to wonder what they are saying to each other, to try to visualize the conversation based on their features and animation,” says Kleine.With the exception of a stint in the Okanagan as one of the owners of Pyramid Bronzeworks in Kelow-na, Kleine has been a resident of the Kootenays for many years. He graduated from David � ompson University Centre with a Bachelor of Fine Arts – “many, many years ago,” he says chuckling. Now he instructs part time at Kootenay School of the Arts in Nelson. A number of his former students are showing their entries this year at Sculpturewalk: Simone Schlicht-ing, Merlyn Richelho� and Daniel Kloc, to name three. It is some-thing he is justi� ably proud of.“ It’s gratifying to have students become peers,” he says. “To pass the torch as it were. I like to be able to share techniques and little tricks I’ve developed with my students. It’s nice to see the knowledge I’ve accrued working with bronze re-alized in sculptors I’ve previously instructed. Obviously, I must be doing something right, based on the quality of the local bronze works competing with mine!” he says with a smile. A member of the Sculptor’s So-ciety of Canada, Kleine has dis-played across the country and the United States. He is also pro� cient in snow, ice and sand sculpture, travelling world-wide to competi-tions and exhibitions. Bronze and stone remain his favourite medi-ums though. He combines them wonderfully in Talking Crows. Taking a dis-carded idea and revitalizing it through new imagery, Kleine’s en-try this year shines. It also speaks – within itself, to the viewer, and of his mastery of bronze and stone vividly combined.

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

Denis Kleine

Seventy Six Trombones (various metals)

From his studio tucked in the sce-nic Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, the ultra-productive Doug-las Walker has created another of his entrancing, beguiling musical mashups for us to enjoy at this year’s Sculpturewalk.Seventy Six Trombones is –like all his sculptures - utterly original and visionary. Last year his water fountain sculpture Honkfest took home the coveted Peoples Choice award, winning the most votes over the course of the competition against a stellar � eld. Walker was delighted of course, and somewhat surprised.“� is is a great event. � ey treat us

like gold, and to win the Peoples Choice award, given the quality of the works here, is an honour I’m very proud of.” On Sculpturewalk he is e� usive. “It’s truly amazing that a com-munity can put this together,” he says, “because it’s nowhere else in Canada. � ere are very few places where you can do something like this in North America, let alone Canada. “It is easy to see why Honkfest res-onated with viewers last year, and Seventy Six Trombones likely will do the same this year. Walker creates beautifully designed and structured works full of kinetic movement, usually anchored by discarded musical instruments. Seventy Six Trombones con-tinues in that vein, displaying his creativity in full � ower.“When I look at this work, it con-jures up marching bands, parades, jubilation, smiles and small town special days gone by,” he says. � e three anchoring sousaphones, bells upward, form the base of a vase from which other instru-ments, or parts of them, blossom. � ree tvertical rombones or slides are central, surrounded by waver-ing brass orbs topped with blue bulbs. Moving whirligigs, and metallic mechanisms fan upwards like a musical spray of � owers, topped with a rustic weathervane. “I hope the viewer can feel the in-

herent excitement and vibrancy of the piece and relate to it as I do.”Seventy Six Trombones stands about ten feet high and � ve feet deep. Like all his marvellous sculp-tures, it’s made to last – inside, or out in the elements. Walker hot fuses and mechanically joins the always numerous components of his latest distinctive sculpture, using nylon bushings for the mov-ing parts. Much of Seventy Six Trombones is non-ferrous metal; any steel is painted and specially coated to prevent rust.“Many of my works live outside here on the coast year round,” he says with a laugh. “� ey have to be rainproof !”Ever inventive, Walker’s creative output matches that of his artistic ingenuity. He has fashioned over a thousand unique works since he took up sculpting full time. � ey run the gamut of form and func-tionality – from water fountains to outdoor furniture, from bird feed-ers to lamps, from window baskets to candelabras and weather vanes. Always, the beauty of his � owing design and o� en delicate artistic style is apparent, occasionally in-fused with a jolt of the unexpected. A lovely weather vane incorporates an old air horn; lusciously wrought bird feeders might feature a bit of Island dri� wood.“I’m a serious artist of course, but a little humour and whimsy always manages to nestle itself into much of my work,” says Walker. “You can’t take yourself too seriously. I like to create beautiful, intricate pieces that are o� en functional, and sometimes a bit zany. Like my latest bent – Victorian-era robots!”Victorian-era robots!? What would they be like? � e sure answer: doubtless they will be magical, wondrous and spectacu-larly cra� ed, a fantastical meld of the present and the past from the always-whirring, fertile mind of Mr. Walker.

In Memory of

Nancy Chernoff

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Nancy Chernoff , a long-time resident of Salmo. Nancy

passed away at the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital on May 18, 2014. She fought a long courageous battle with cancer. Nancy was born in Verigin, Saskatchewan on July 29, 1935.

Nancy’s family moved to the Kootenay’s in 1941. She graduated in 1954 from Nelson High School and later married Peter Chernoff . Th e couple settled in Salmo where they raised their two children.

She was an avid gardener and also enjoyed sewing, knitting and everyone enjoyed her baking. Nancy volunteered in children’s activities and was a Salmo Newsletter volunteer. Her greatest joy was her family, which she showed in so many wonderful ways.

Nancy was predeceased by her husband Peter Cher-noff , her mother Mary Hlookoff , her father Mike Chernoff , and her step-father Peter Hlookoff .

She is survived by her son Mark Chernoff , her daugh-ter Zenda (Robert) Frame, her grandchildren; Ryan and Trevor, her brother Allen Hlookoff , and her sister-in-law “sister” Elizabeth Konkin.

Th e family wishes to express their gratitude for all the care and support that was given to Nancy. Special thanks to her “sisters” Liz Konkin, Norma Waterstreet and Joan Field for helping in so many ways. Th ank you so much to Dr. Scotland and the amazing staff in Oncology. Nancy called them her “second family”. Also thank you so much to the wonderful doctors and staff at the Salmo Medical Clinic.

By Nancy’s request, there will not be a service. Al Grywacheski of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services™ has been entrusted with arrangements.

July 29, 1935 - May 18, 2014

Our Josh,It’s so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been if it had never shone. In this dark-ness our joys will be greater, our love deeper, our lives fuller- all because we shared your moment. Still, we’re missing your smile, voice, sense of humour, charm, wit; your way of making everything bet-ter. Mostly, we’re just missing you. It’s impossible to forget someone who left so much to remember. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, we’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. When we look up to the sky, we think, perhaps those are not stars, but rather openings where you shine down to let us know you are happy and at peace. Josh, you are the pause between our words, the light when we close our eyes, and the whisper in our silence. However, we know goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes. For those who love with heart and soul, there is no sepa-ration. As Helen Keller said, “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt by the heart.” We feel you in all our hearts, Josh. Your Family

In Loving Memory of Josh Evin

Sleep is extremely important to good health. After a night’s sleep you should wake up feeling rested and refreshed. For 25% of Ca-nadians this is not the case. If you wake up feeling tired and remain tired throughout the day you may be suffering from a sleep disorder. The most common sleep disorder is Sleep Apnea.

What is Sleep Apnea?During sleep the muscles that control the tongue and soft palate hold the airway open. If these muscles relax too much the airway narrows and can block the passage, as you breathe in, the soft � oppy part of the throat vibrates causing snoring. As you enter deep sleep, these tissues can fully block the airway and breathing stops. Regular occurrence of these sleep disruptions increase your risk of cardiovascular disease and can exacerbate conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure.

If sleep disturbances occur regularly many of your body systems will suffer. The most common signs symptoms are:

• Daytime tiredness • Snoring • Pauses in breathing • Gasping or choking during sleep • Depression or anxiety • Dif� culty concentrating • Large neck circumference • Excessive Weight BMI >28 • Family HistoryIf left untreated you could be at risk for: • High Blood Pressure or congestive heart failure • 8 to 18 times more likely to have a heart attack and or stroke • Decreased quality of life • 3 fold increased risk for car accidents • 2.5 times more likely to die in your sleep • Erectile Dysfunction • Concentration or attention problems • Sleep deprived bed partners • Complications with medications and surgery

Diagnosis:Sleep Apnea can be diagnosed in several ways. The standard for Sleep Apnea diagnosis is an overnight visit. BC has 11 sleep labs located in major centers. Independent Respiratory Services offers home testing in communities across BC. Home testing is an effec-tive screening program that measures up to 7 parameters allowing for diagnosis.

Treatments for Sleep ApneaThere is no easy � x for Sleep Apnea, the following can help reduce its affects: weight loss, avoidance of alcohol, sleep position and good sleep habits. When these do not work other treatments are available:

• Dental appliances (bite-blocks) have been shown to reduce Ap neas in mild to moderate cases. Pros: Non invasive, easily por table. Cons: Only 50% effective, no trial period to see if they work, have to be purchased upfront, cost, adjustment period 4-12 weeks• Surgery: Not recommended by the College of Surgeons and Phy sicians due to failure rates and complications of surgery. • Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine: This device is the gold standard for treatment. CPAP applies gentle air pres sure through the nose or mouth preventing the soft tissues in the back of the throat from collapsing. Pros: 100% effective when worn. Cons: Getting use to the mask and pressure, cost.

Should you suspect you or someone you know is suffering from this disorder talk to your physician or contact IRS for more information or free testing 1-877-965-6204.

Independent Respiratory Services is a BC-owned and operated full service respiratory company. We have been providing sleep ap-nea and home oxygen therapy to British Columbians since 1996.

It is with great pleasure that I can stand in front of you and honour your high school convocation as the Prin-cipal of Stanley Humphries Secondary School.

I want to start off by thanking all of the parents, families, friends and staff that are here tonight to celebrate this graduating class of 2014.

As I was preparing this speech I wanted to make it authentic and memorable like most other speakers do I suppose.

I wanted to stay away from too many famous quotes and classic by-lines.

I stayed strong for a while but was drawn in to the world of GOOGLE.

A few items stuck. I have two pieces of advice that

spoke to me,and I have added two thank-you’s.

I read that principal’s convocation speeches shouldn’t exceed 25 minutes. OK. Good tip I thought.

Advice item #1. Be critical.

I used my critical sense and sur-veyed my surroundings.

I know the crowd here. The stu-dents, the families, the staff, the guests and how comfortable the benches are. Even my family wouldn’t want to hear me speak for that long.

Being critical or using critical thought is something that is devel-oped and valued in Education. This is not to be confused with being nega-tive, bitter or angry.

The ability to take in information,

process it, make sense of it and de-

velop an informed decision or opinion is important.

With this in mind, I stand here to-day following the philosophy of Mr. Kinghorn…. “Run with the students not at.”

25 minutes of me speaking would be “at students” while 4 minutes and 48 seconds is “with”.:)

Advice item # 2. A Career Tip.

“Persistence trumps talent at times”There are massive returns to dog-

gedness.Work ethic and persistence are two

qualities that will benefit your future life and career. People who work hard and work through difficult courses, work situations or life challenges are better friends, partners and co-work-ers in the long run.

“Stick-with it-ness” is king when things become difficult.

Now, two thank-yous to this group of young adults.

I am incredibly proud to be in this situation.

To have such a profession that in-volves young people of such quality.

This grad class was just entering the graduate program when I came to SHSS three years ago.

Now as the most senior, they have made important positive impacts that have been felt school and community wide.

Being involved in events that were specific for the graduates like the Mur-der Mystery or Grad Banquet is ex-pected but these students started new

events such as the Hallowe’en parade

and “Grads with Rakes.” Using oppor-

tunities to present as positive members of our

community was impor-tant to our Grad council.

Adding positive energy to the whole school experience for students is incredible.

Thank-you for that class.

We are in interesting times in “Edu-cation” now.

This class has had an incredible number of options for obtaining grad-uate courses. On-timetable courses, Off time-table courses, On-line and Distance courses and Selkirk college pre-apprenticeship programs.

Some students also chose to finish high school after their first semester.

While I struggled with the idea of less grade 12’s in the building, I have come to the realization that we are trying to improve happiness and life chances with our youth. We know that quality education provides for greater choices of lifestyle, which of course is connected to long term health, pros-perity and happiness.

Thank you grads for helping me change some of my possibly selfish perceptions that the graduate program should be six semesters in one build-ing.

An added note before I finish.I have great connections with

many of the students in this class. I was working at Kinnaird Elementary School as a Vice-Principal many years ago and teaching a grade four class. So hello to you all and I hope your grade four experience helped you along.

One last piece of advice ….

At this point in your life, High School experiences seem like they de-fine you.

Both the good and “not so good”. Your future is largely up to you. Remember, your treatment of oth-

ers and how you conduct yourself is always up to you.

Work hard and always strive to be better than you are today.

Thank-you.

WELL DONE TO THE GRADUATES OF 2014!Raissa Chernoff Brandon Davis Mathew Petruk Nathan Pinard Brandon Werner Patrick Zubick

Congratulations to the Grad Class of 2014FROM

Good evening Ladies and Gentlemen, family, friends, distinguished guests, faculty, and of course the graduating class of 2014!

I am here today to reflect on the past five years of our remarkable journey through high school and into adulthood encapsulating everything we heard, saw, and felt into one story.

And the best way to tell a story is to start at the end, briefly, then go back to the beginning, periodically re-turning to the end, giving different characters’ perspec-tives throughout.

Now, as we sit here today, we are filled with an abun-dance of joy, a sense of accomplishment, and a little bit of sorrow. Because ending twelve years of good times, not-so-good times, and frankly, unknown times with some of the greatest classmates you’ll ever get, is not an easy task.

Like in kindergarten, when we would frolic around in the grass, climb enormous metal structures, eat our PB&J sandwiches out of our little superhero lunchbox-es, and take the bus back home with the “big kids”, be-ing a little kid was amazing!

O r elemen-

tary school, when all we truly cared about was having fun and getting through class, so we could go to recess. Challenging the other classes to an intense game of mini-hockey or soccer just to prove who is better. A simple plea-sure that was more than sufficient and is something

many of us still do today, but instead of recess, we call it a “spare”. This was where we truly grew

from children to teenagers. I remember getting called up to the office for throwing snowballs, and Mr.E made me and the rest of the guilty parties write-up 100 lines of “Throwing snowballs is dangerous and not allowed. I will promise not throw snowballs or get into snowball fights ever again.” Man those were good times!

And we can’t forget grade 8… Initially, we were ter-rified. The enormous creatures called “seniors”, the caf-eteria, the freedom, and the insanely confusing block rotation. All of this was brand new to us, and it was like we had just landed Mars: even the seniors would say, “Greetings, earthlings”. It was a frightening ordeal, and I remember thinking, “Wow, I am never going to get out of this place.” But as the days went by, we be-came accustomed to this giant labyrinth of a school. We treaded those halls like models on the runway. We were finally “high school kids”.

This was followed by grade 9. An odd year because we weren’t quite kids, and we definitely weren’t seniors. We were something in between. This precarious situa-tion, accompanied by our changing bodies, minds, and beliefs, led to the quickest year in our education thus far. Arguably, it was time travel.

I’m talking about grade 10. This was the first mo-ment where the pressure to perform was on. Know-ing that our grades would be reflected permanently onto our transcripts was a startling proposition. This meant a lot more studying and a lot more homework. And studying wasn’t just limited to school; it was now required in our daily lives. Like when we were getting our L’s, having to study all the different kinds of signs, symbols and rules of the road: it was pretty intense. As a matter of fact, it was so intense that many of us failed that test on our first, second, and for some, fourth tries! But, luckily, as I have learned, it was all for the better because persistence and determination always paid off.

Once we entered grade 11, we figured out the sys-tem and were pros. That “startling proposition” was now nothing more than an average day at school. This meant we had a lot more time to do the things we love and to simply hangout. This was the climax, the rush of endorphins stimulating our senses, the wind gusting through our hair as we finally get behind the wheel; this was it. And as we drove around with our shiny new Ns flaunting our Tim Horton’s beverages, we had unknow-ingly created the impetus for the bond that we share today. And it is this bond that would catapult us into the next and final chapter of our journey through high school.

Because for some reason, since the very beginning, all we had wanted to do was get through and out of school as quickly as possible. A concept, which only in this, our last year of high school, we realized was a complete and utter waste. And that is, Ladies and Gen-tlemen, what makes grad year different.

This was the turning point in our education because this was the year we took it slowly, the year we sat down and enjoyed the moment, enjoyed the great people in it, and enjoyed all the joys of being a grad because, as

Valedictorian Speech:Saad Waseem 2014

Continues on P. B9

a wise hockey coach once told me, “� is group of people right here, this group of peo-ple in its entirety may never be together in the same room again. So take in the moment and enjoy the memories that you will make in the process, because these will be the memories of a lifetime“. And Grads, that’s exactly what we have done, and what we are doing right now.

And look at where all this blood, sweat and tears has led us! As I look around this room today, I see some very talented faces. I see the next generation of musicians, artists, lawyers, doctors, engineers, tradesman, athletes, and everything in between. It is absolutely astonish-ing! But more than anything, as I look around this room, today, again, I see a group of loving, caring, and straight up amazing companions. Everyday, you guys inspire me. If someone is having a rough day, you will go out of your way and buy them Tim’s just to make him or her feel better. And for that, class of 2014, you eter-nally have my respect.

And before I end this lengthy speech, I would like to leave you with an inspirational quotation from Spiderman 2.

“It’s easy to feel hopeful on a beautiful day like today, but there will be dark days ahead of us too, and they’ll be days where you feel all alone, and that’s when hope is needed most, no matter how buried it gets, or how lost you feel, you must promise me, that you will hold on to hope. Keep it alive, we have to be greater than what we su� er. My wish for you is to become hope; people need that, and even if we fail, what better way is there to live? As we look around here today, and all the people who helped make us who we are, I know it feels like we’re say-ing goodbye, but we will carry a piece of each other, into everything we do next, to remind us of who we are, and if we’re meant to be.”

� at being said, let’s focus on right now be-cause right now, this is our moment and the bright future ahead of us is still to come. So let’s make the best of it class of 2014 because a� er all these years, we � nally did it!
