Symbol of acceptance

in placeApproved last fall, a crosswalk painted

in a rainbow motif was completed earlier this week. � e project was done in order to express the City of Castlegar’s support of varied lifestyles and preferences... a policy of inclusion, it’s located on 3rd St.

Given the go ahead in Octo-ber, 2013, weather was not suit-able at the time to do the painting.

Originally planned for a busier, more visible location – the intersection of 3rd and Columbia – the plan was al-tered due to Columbia Ave. actually be-ing classed as a highway, and therefore under provincial jurisdiction accord-ing to City Councillor Kevin Cherno� .

“We can’t just do what we want (on other streets)” said Cherno� on May 9. “On the side streets we have much more control. Highways in essence regulates what we can do on that main thoroughfare. � ey wouldn’t have agreed to this. Safety (concerns) would have been their fall-back answer.”

Councillor Deb McIntosh had been in� uential in moving the project ahead, and told the Castlegar News on May 9, “I’m very happy it’s installed, before Sculpturewalk and Sunfest. It’s an abso-lutely wonderful addition to downtown. I couldn’t be more proud of my commu-nity for supporting an initiative like this.”

Castlegar Mayor Lawrence Chernoff gave a transit-related report to council dur-ing the meeting of May 20.

His Worship, who also serves as the West Kootenay Regional Transit Commit-tee Chair, described some of what may be expected in the way of transit improve-ments due to kick in by January 2015.

First clarifying that any changes will be the result of careful study of ridership, demand and other considerations, the mayor described the

system as one in a state of evolution.

“We’re looking at Saturday service, Grandview needs ser-vice. We need to im-prove the efficiency of the whole thing,” he said at the meeting’s conclusion. High on the committee’s list is an improvement in the connections avail-able to riders to and from the South Slo-can area.

“It’s looking at the Playmor Junction, how we mesh all of the buses together. It’s a matter of putting this thing together as efficiently as possible, providing the most service,” said Cher-noff.

“We’ve done a lot of improvements in the routes. We’ve put monthly passes in, so it’s just a matter of building on that and seeing which direc-tion we can take it,” he said.

Service to the Grandview Heights area is also something on the committee’s radar, as Chernoff touched upon.

“We’ll see how we can provide service. There’s that opportu-nity. We’ve had a lot of requests coming from people. They’re asking whether a bus can come up there. We need to build the ridership, to see if it’s cost effective, or not. If you’re only going to do it once a week it doesn’t make sense.”

It’s apparent that Grandview Heights residents could ben-efit from a bus ser-vice, as the committee chair conceded.

“Yes, instead of driving their cars, especially in the win-ter,” he stated. “I think there’s a good op-portunity there. But we’ve had other places where we’ve looked at service and there’s no ridership. So, you’ve got to look at the cost… whether it’s af-fordable or not.”


Further to a topic broached in a city council story by Betsy Kline in the May 8 Castlegar News, wifi for the people is soon to be a real-ity.

The City of Castlegar and Shaw have been working toward mak-ing free digital connectivity avail-able at a half dozen locations in the city.

Castlegar’s Director of Finance Andre Buss explained the City’s involvement in a phone interview on May 20.

“Because we serve all taxpayers and not just Shaw customers, we had the option of not doing it, par-ticipating and getting a fee – but then only Shaw customers would have had access… or participating and not getting a fee, and allowing access to everybody.”

Shaw customers currently have potential access to more than 80 (at last count, according to Buss) wifi hotspots in the Castlegar area. The new public sites are to be located at Millennium Park, Kinsmen Park, The Doukhobor Discovery Centre, the Kootenay Gallery and the Castlegar and District Heritage Society (Muse-um) downtown.

“The agreement between Shaw Communications and the City of Castlegar will see residents pro-vided access to Shaw’s superior, carrier-grade Shaw Go WiFi net-work in municipal buildings and other locations at no cost,” said a Shaw spokeperson. “At this point, Shaw is working closely with the City to finalize public Wi-Fi net-work installation locations and logistics. We look forward to pro-viding more information once these details have been finalized.”

Wi-Fi on the upswing?JIM SINCLAIRCastlegar News Editor

Sergeant Darryl Little of the Central Kootenay Regional RCMP has reported late Tuesday afternoon, May 20 that the search for the three youths presumed drowned in Slocan Lake has been suspended by the RCMP at this time.

Sergeant Little, in a press re-lease, indicated that the 10 day search involved the use of the RCMP Dive Team, RCMP He-licopter, Arrow Lakes Search & Rescue, Slocan Lake Fire Dept, Vernon Search & Rescue, Bruce’s Legacy and members of the Slo-can area.

“It is unfortunate that the youths could not be located, how-ever, the terrain and depth played

a large part in it not being success-ful,” said Sergeant. “The families of the youths have all been noti-fied of the search’s termination at this time. The RCMP would like to thank everyone who assisted in the search effort.”

Four people, aged 15 to 21 had set out on a May 10 canoe trip in the frigid lake. The canoe report-edly capsized about 150 metres from shore. One of the four, a woman, was found near the ca-noe. She was was taken to hospital where she later passed away.

The name of the deceased woman is Lily Harmer-Taylor, 19. The search had continued for Jule Wiltshire-Padfield, 15, Hayden Kyle, 21, and Skye Donnet, 18.

Short honeymoon for MMBCJIM SINCLAIRCastlegar News Editor

Rotating school strikes start MondayTOM FLETCHERBlack Press

One day a� er its launch, the Multi Materials BC (MMBC) recycling pro-gram has drawn criticism from Castle-gar Council.

� e issue was raised by Councillor Sue Heaton-Sherstobito� during the regular City Council meeting on May 20.

To an exclamation of “Hear, hear,” from Coun. Gord Turner, Hea-ton-Sherstobito� moved that council express dissatisfaction with aspects of the highly publicized process be-ing conducted by the Ontario-based MMBC. She said she has heard many negative reviews on the topic. What becomes of plastic bags… and glass are two of the points she described as problematic. She declared that it’s all the more noticeable given the policy

that Castlegar had practiced up until the MMBC routine kicked in on May 19.

� e councillor expanded upon her sentiments to media members at the meeting’s conclusion.

“A lack of consultation with com-munities and the public is a big con-cern of mine,” she elaborated. “� ey’re trying to use a cookie-cutter approach for all the communities. In Castlegar we had a really progressive recycling program. Now we don’t, we’re going backwards. For one thing, they don’t collect glass.” She described how a good deal of the expected payments is being channeled elsewhere.

“� e money we said a few months ago that we’d be saving because we’re getting an incentive back from the government, we’ve had to use that now for a contract to pick up glass. So it’s not a saving to the people.”

Heaton-Sherstobito� expressed the worry that if any part of recycling pro-gram presents inconvenience, people may revert to just tossing everything in the garbage.

� e motion put forth, which council carried, was clari� ed by Heaton-Sher-stobito� :

“To go back to the government and to MMBC and say, ‘� ese are the is-sues that we have. � e costs are be-coming a reality to us now. It’s costing us to be part of this program.’

“� e government,” she summed up, “needs to know that.”

In another matter from the meeting, Coun. Dan Rye indicated the result of a poll, that closed May 9, the name Millennium Park was the majority choice for the downtown park along the Columbia River. He then moved that name be designated for the facility and the motion was carried.

� e B.C. Teachers’ Feder-ation plans to start one-day rotating strikes at schools around the province on Monday, rejecting the o� er of a $1,200 signing bonus for an agreement by the end of the school year.

BCTF president Jim Iker said Tuesday the bonus doesn’t make up for the government’s wage o� er of 6.5 per cent over six years. A simultaneous plan to cut teacher wages 5 per cent or more because of strike ac-tion is “just so disrespectful, so unnecessary, and we’ll be dealing with it at the Labour

Relations Board,” Iker said.Unless there is some

compromise on major is-sues, one-day strikes with picket lines will be staged at one group of school districts in each of the � rst four days next week, with teachers re-turning to work across the province on Friday, May 30.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the sign-ing bonus and reducing the contract term from 10 years to six were signi� cant ef-

forts to move toward a set-tlement.

“Unfortunately the an-nouncement today says that the BCTF feels that disrupt-ing classrooms, a� ecting children and their families is going to help to reach a settlement,” Fassbender told reporters in Vancouver.

Iker reiterated the union’s position that more pay, more teachers and a return to contract language guar-anteeing class size and spe-

cial needs support are need-ed to reach a settlement.

Peter Cameron, chief ne-gotiator for the province’s 60 school districts, informed the union last week that a 5% pay cut will be put in place “soon” in response to the � rst phase of strike action.

� e BCTF began work-to-rule action in April, re-fusing supervision outside classrooms and communi-cation with school manage-ment.

Rotating strikes were also authorized by the BCTF membership in a March vote, and beginning to shut down schools could result in an e� ort to cut teacher pay by 10%.

Cameron said last week the union’s latest wage de-mand amounts to 15.9% over four years, far beyond what other provincial pub-lic service unions have re-ceived.

� e BCTF maintains its wage proposal is 13.25% over four years, including cost-of-living increases based on each year’s in� a-tion rate.

NewsNew Pioneer Arena chiller approvedGREG NESTEROFFCastlegar News

The life expectancy of the existing unit has been reached and exceeded.Jim Sinclair photo

The Regional District of Central Kootenay has approved the replace-ment of the chiller at the Pioneer Are-na at a cost of $120,000 to be paid out of reserves.

Castlegar Mayor and recreation commission chair Lawrence Chernoff said the move made sense despite the uncertain future of the aging building.

“If we don’t do this in the interim, how do we satisfy all the present needs of hockey players and figure skaters?” he asked. “If you close that facility, I don’t think we could accommodate everybody.”

The Pioneer’s previous 60-ton chiller was installed in 1984 and has received some upgrades, but accord-ing to a consultant’s report it is “badly corroded and should be decommis-sioned immediately.” Chernoff said if the arena does close, the new 90-ton chiller could be moved to the commu-nity complex, whose present chiller is 17 years old. It’s expected to take 12 to 14 weeks for the new chiller to arrive and be installed.

The condition and fate of the Pio-neer and whether the city needs two ice surfaces will be considered as part of a recreation master plan process that will guide priorities for the next five to 10 years. Extensive public con-sultation is planned this fall. The plan

is expected to be completed by the end of this year or early next year.

Chernoff insisted the Pioneer’s clo-sure is not inevitable, and awaits the outcome of the master plan. A struc-tural assessment in 2009, however, gave the building low marks and stat-ed the chiller was already five years be-

yond its life expectancy.A November 2010 referendum to

decide whether the Pioneer should be replaced by twinning the ice surface at the rec complex failed. At the time, officials said the old arena would be closed if one of its components suf-fered a major failure.

Guilty pleas entered by alleged airport offenderA man facing numerous charges re-

lating to a violent February 16 episode at the West Kootenay Regional Airport has pled guilty to each count.

The case of Aaron Nichol Welch, now 29, was heard in Nelson Provin-cial Court on Tuesday, May 13.

Welch has been charged with: Ag-gravated Assault, 11 counts of Mis-chief (to vehicles), Resist Arrest, and

Theft of Motor Vehicle.The spree had reportedly involved

vandalism, theft and an attack on a 63-year-old man who required sub-sequent medical attention following a stabbing to the face. Various measures had apparently been taken to stop the rampage, including those by the man who had initially called police over the incident. The suspect was reportedly

fleeing in the pickup belonging to the stabbing victim, when rammed by the vehicle driven by the caller. “The ve-hicle began rolling down the hill,” ac-cording to a police news release, “and struck the police car as the officer ar-rived, causing front-end damage.”

Welch’s next court appearance is scheduled at Nelson Provincial Court on Tuesday, June 10.

A6 www.castlegarnews.com

I love dogs. In fact, many of my earli-est memories involve dogs. I think I was about six when I first met my grand-mother’s two Pomeranians. Funny thing is, I can’t remember their names, but I haven’t forgotten how very spoiled they were. Yes. Spoiled. As in rotten.

Grandma was a hefty Swedish wom-an, who although probably only 50 or so at the time, looked every part the grandma right down to her homemade apron, heavy black, no-nonsense shoes, and her silver hair coiled back into a bun at the nape of her neck. We had gone to visit her for the first time ever in Fort Frances, Ontario.

It seems that all I ever saw grandma doing was baking or cooking. Her two dogs would wait patiently beside her for “accidental” droppings. They never went away hungry…ever.

I remember the first time grandma set the supper table while we were visit-ing. Even at age six I knew that seven (in my family) and two (she and grandpa) equals nine. So why were there 11 place settings? Uh huh.

Apparently the two extra settings were for the dogs, which just happened to have their own chairs, and evident-ly their very own place settings at the table. Just as supper was being put on the table, as if on cue, those two dogs

jumped up on their assigned chairs and awaited their meal!

Throughout the years we owned many dogs. There was poor Tiger, who had the bad and unfortunate habit of chasing cars. Not a good idea.

Then we had Mike. He was a Gordon Setter. We got him as a puppy and that dog was loved and adored. Well, maybe not so much when he exhibited some very bad behavior. For some reason, the sound of a ringing phone would send him scurrying to the closest leg avail-able and (I will leave it at that).Unfor-tunately, there came the day when my dad’s boss came to supper. All was well until the phone rang and Mike’s closest victim was… you-know-who.

Then I had Sebahka (sorry if I spelled that wrong), which is the Russian word for dog. Clever huh? Sebahka, too, had the bad habit of escaping the house and playing in traffic. R.I.P. (Sorry kids – I know we told you a kinder story than that.)

Then along came three Cocker Span-iels into my life. I love Spaniels. They are such a soft, loving and gentle breed.

After the last one passed away I swore I would never own another dog as the heartbreak of losing your pet and best friend is almost too much to bear. Besides that, my husband and I are too

impromptu (and now, a wee bit selfish). A dog would hamper us. But sometimes life has other plans. We have two friends from Illinois and they are parents to a Brittany spaniel named Annie.

From the minute I met Annie I fell in love with her. She is smart, loving and funny. Best of all, I could love on her all I want without any of the responsibili-ties. I guess that love for Annie was fair-ly obvious to our friends. One morning, while having breakfast together, my friend Rose set down her fork, acquired a serious look on her face and said, “Ken and I were talking and we’d like to ask you a question.”

Oh boy. Here it comes, I thought. The honeymoon is over.

“Yes?” I said.“If something happens to me and

Ken would you guys take Annie? I can see how much you love her,” she replied.

Immediately we replied, “Of course.”There we were, two footloose and

fancy-free adults who wholly and will-ingly agreed to take their dog should the need arise.

Now, I don’t wish my good friends dead, but I smile to think about Annie possibly being in our lives. I’ve missed having a dog. That being said, I now can’t stop looking at every puppy up for adoption.

The phrase ‘Think globally, act locally,’ according to Wikipedia, ‘has been used in various contexts, including planning, envi-ronment, education, mathematics, and busi-ness.’ It’s used in social contexts as well.

Illustrated on the front page of this edi-tion is Castlegar City Council’s assertion that our community is an inclusive one.

Council has taken up the mantle of toler-ance and made it clear with the creation of a rainbow crosswalk downtown on 3rd Street, west of Columbia Avenue.

The City is riding a worldwide wave, working to put an end to discrimination of others on the basis of lifestyles, sexual ori-entation, etc. The issue is widespread, having hit the international stage in such high-pro-file events as the Olympic Winter Games back in February.

With the painting of a raiwnbow cross-walk a municipal government makes the statement that they accept people for who they are, and they urge citizens and visitors to follow suit.

Those who may disagree are free to ex-press their opinion at the ballot box next time a civic election comes up, or in other forums such as our letters to the editor.

The Castlegar News supports the alloca-tion of $1,900 (plus GST) for the creation of the crosswalk. We see the issue as one in which we are not qualified to judge the life-styles of others. We may be seen, in some cases, as conduits of public opinion, but we are not moral referees.

We will consider all letters to the editor on their own merits, regardless of points of view. We only require, as always, that no one is being directly attacked, libelled or slan-dered.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Fair falloutEditor:� e 1st Annual Spring Fair was

very successful because of farmers like Tiesja Huscro� who attended from Creston along with farmers from Cranbrook, Grand Forks, Slocan Val-ley, Edgewood & our local farmers. Kudos to Jessica Smith for helping or-ganize the Fair, Don & Irene Hill for volunteering their time.

Tiesja was impressed that we have such a wonderful Exhibition grounds in our area as they have nothing to compare it to in Creston, which is known as a farming community.

Farming is so important, we have approximately 41 thousand house-holds in the West Kootenay / Bound-ary area and if each household spent $10.00 a week on locally produced food this would generate 21 million 320 thousand dollars annually for our local economy. Which is quite as-

tounding.We encourage the public to support

local farmers where they can and help keep valuable dollars in local commu-nities and keep farmers in business.

Please mark your calendar for the 2nd Annual Spring Fair May 2nd 2015 - See you at the Fall Fair Sept. 20th & 21st.

Rick SmithPresident

Pass Creek Regional Exhibition Society

� e 62nd annual USCC (Union of Spiritual Communi-ties of Christ) Youth Festival was staged over the Victoria Day Weekend in Brilliant and the turnout was customarily strong.

A packed parking lot at the Brilliant Cultural Centre on Sunday a� ernoon suggested the seats were well used, and once through the doors it was obvious the crowd was enjoy-ing the proceedings.

� e Sunday events, as related at the scene by USCC Ex-ecutive Director J.J. Verigin, were of a more sombre nature than the comparatively freewheeling program from the night before.

“� e place was packed,” said Verigin, “there were skits, jokes, lots of humour.”

� e Sunday program held its own, featuring choir perfor-mances and also beautiful singing by the whole crowd… a moving scene to witness.

A very special guest at the festival was a lady named Ma-rina Karova, a resident of Rostov on Don – a Russian city of about the same size as Vancouver. Local resident Eileen Kooznetso� had been instrumental in arranging Marina’s at-tendance. Kooznetso� , herself, was a part of a recent visit to Russia. Two were apparently invited but the other would-be guest was not successful in obtaining a visa.

With a capacity of about a thousand, the well-� lled Bril-liant centre drew about the same as festivals in other years, and Verigin is pretty sure he knows why. When asked if there were any new and special attractions at this year’s event, he said there wasn’t, but he had three reasons why the turnout was as good as usual:

“Number one: to reconnect in the spiritual sense;two: to experience the culture they grew up in; and three:

to see family and friends.”With another successful USCC Youth Festival in the books

and guests heading home to locations in… Russia, Utah, Al-berta, Saskatchewan and various parts of B.C… J.J. Verigin took the opportunity to express his pride in the younger members of the Doukhobor community.

“� at was sweet,” he concluded as to the strong youth par-ticipation. “People always have a concern as time goes by… that people lose connections, or are not as engaged or inter-ested. So it’s just nice to see the younger generations continu-ing. � at says something in itself.”

JJ and friendsUSCC Exec. Director J.J. Verigin pays tribute to Russian visitor Marina Karova (R). At left is Eileen Kooznetsoff whom was instrumental in arranging Karova’s visit.

Robson FD � exes fundraising muscleJIM SINCLAIRCastlegar News Editor

Robson volunteers pictured before May 20 practice. Jim Sinclair photo

Small, but mighty… the phrase is a perfect � t for the Robson Fire Depart-ment and also for the generous and com-munity minded resi-dents of Robson.

� e 19-member volunteer department came up with $6,200 in the annual Muscu-lar Dystrophy Boot Drive, a fundraiser that � re� ghters have been actively engaged in since 1954.

On a per capita ba-sis the Robson total is impressive and the department has been saluted by Muscular Dystrophy Canada for it’s showing, gain-ing “Up and Coming” status along with the Salmon Arm depart-ment.

A total of $650,000 was accumulated by participating depart-ments across B.C. and Yukon.

� e Robson squad knows that, just as in the speedy response to an emergency, pos-itive results are what it’s all about. A fun-draiser for an issue as serious as muscu-lar dystrophy needs dollars and that’s the mindset of the com-munity servants who meet for a practice every Tuesday night at their Waldie Av-enue headquarters.

Fire� ghters took advantage of the lone route in and out of the community, set-ting up engines with lights � ashing out in front of Johnny’s

Groceries and Gas during the day-long drive in March. Pass-ing motorists were greeted by a cheerful and persuasive team, loading loons and other denominations in the time-honoured rubber receptacle with impressive con-sistency.

“A lot of generous people in Robson and area, for sure,” recalled RFD Chief Keith Watson on May

16. “� at was a good day, the boys got a lot of money.”

� e charming and outgoing volunteers, in full turnout gear made it a request that was hard to refuse. As the Chief con-ceded with a laugh… “� ey would have hit ya… they would have robbed you… took your wallet… no re-ally… they did great.”

One good fund-raiser deserves anoth-

er and the RFD is not done yet – making plans for a ‘Firemen’s Challenge’ in late Au-gust. � e event will welcome reps from various guest depart-ments.

“Hopefully we’ll get a lot of � re� ghters in town,” said Chief Watson. “It’ll be at the Pass Creek Park. It should be good for us, and hopefully good for muscular dystrophy, too.”

The City of Castlegar is Proud to Celebrate "Building for Today, Planning for Tomorrow…”

National Public Works Week, May 18 - 24, 2014The City of Castlegar’s Public Works Department is comprised of 23 outside staff who are supported by three managers, an engineering technician and a works assistant. This dynamic group looks after all facets of the City’s infrastructure. In the summer months, four students are hired to assist in parks maintenance.

ROADS & PARKS

MECHANICAL SHOP

The Mechanic’s shop crew isn’t large with two members but the work put through is extensive and varied.

The Mechanical Shop crew is responsible for keeping the City fleet of vehicles and equipment in top running order. The mechanics ensure that the many pieces of equipment are always available for use and when required, are called upon for emergency field repairs. The crew is also used for snow clearing operations when required.

UTILITIES SECTION

All the operators within the Utilities Section are registered with the BC Environmental Operators Cert-ification Program (BC-EOCP). The BC Safe Water Dr inking Act requires operators to be certified. Continuing education and a series of exams ensure operators are aware of the latest guidelines and employ the la tes t and best practices for the provision of water.

WATER & SEWER TREATMENT

The Treatment crew for the City of C a s t l e g a r c o n s i s t s o f f o u r operators. The operators are responsible for the disinfection and quality monitoring of drinking water and the treatment of sanitary waste. The crew works a rotation shift to ensure operator coverage 7 days a week.

Water is drawn from the Arrow Lakes and is disinfected with chlorine and UV treatment as well. Tests of the drinking water are done throughout the City daily. Parameters such as chlorine levels, turbidity and the absence of bacteriological counts are closely monitored with weekly water samples being sent away for independent testing. A Treatment operator can have a very diverse day; from site inspections and equipment trouble-shooting to performing high level tests in the lab.

Monitoring of the City’s treatment, pumping and storage facilities is aided by the City’s SCADA system (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), and is a system of sensors that communicate with a main computer to alert crews if problems arise no matter the time of day.

WATER/SEWER MAINTENANCE

Five operators make up the maintenance crew. Their task is to m a i n t a i n a l l u n d e r g r o u n d infrastructures for the distribution of drinking water and the collection of sanitary waste. Preventative maintenance such as water and sewer main flushing, hydrant maintenance and infrastructure inspection consumes much of the maintenance crew’s time. This crew installs new services in the City and responds to water leaks and sewer backups.

The five man crew operates a range of equipment from backhoes and dump trucks, to large vactor trucks and mobile cranes. The crew is utilized to dig graves at the City’s cemetery and supplements the Roads crew during the winter for snow removal.

Thirty-two new sculptures have landed in Castlegar’s downtown. Cas-tlegar Sculpturewalk is now in its fifth year and making waves across the country, attracting artists from as far away as Belgium.

“I think the public will be delight-ed with the sculptures on display this year” says Executive Director Joy Bar-rett.

“With Sculpturewalk’s reputation growing, we’re receiving applications from artists further afield.

It’s exciting to see the internation-al attention given to our local artists,

and the diversity of the new artists’ work in this year’s Sculpturewalk.”

Each year, the viewing public votes for their favourite sculpture for the People’s Choice Award and the win-ning sculpture is bought by the City to stay in its permanent collection. To date, thanks to the People’s Choice Award and Sculpturewalk’s Sales & Leasing program, Castlegar is now home to over 50 sculptures.

For up-to-the minute information, check out our website at “http://www.sculpturewalkcastlegar.com” or “Like” us on Facebook.

Most of this year’s artists posing at 2014 kick off gala at Kootenay Gallery, held on Saturday, May 10.

Restoring a rare Mustang to magnifi cenceEverybody remembers their first car but very few people hold onto that set of wheels long into adult life.Tsawwassen resident Laura Ballance still has her 1967 Ford Mustang T5 but it has not turned a tire in years and has fallen into a state of disrepair.The public relations executive’s passion for automo-biles began at an early age, growing up in a house-hold with a father who was very interested in cars and particularly the Ford marque. By age four, she already knew what a Ford Mustang was and, as she approached 16, she wanted to own and drive one.

“In the mid-80s my father and I started looking for

a Mustang to restore together and in 1986 I found a ‘67 Mustang in the local paper,” says Laura, the pres-ident of the Laura Ballance Media Group.“The next day, we went to Surrey to look at the ‘67 notchback

that was for sale for $600. My dad negotiat-ed it for $450

and we began working nights and weekends restoring it. My dad was not a body man or mechanic and was self-trained but was handy, so we figured it out as we went along. “I spent many hours passing tools to my dad as he worked on the car. It is some of the best hours of my life, true quality time with my dad. I official-ly received the car as a graduation present.” Laura drove the car throughout grade 11 and 12 and during her early years as a journalist.“Eventually I purchased a new car and my Mustang went into storage as old cars often do. I got married, had children and a 1967 Mustang wasn’t conducive to car seats and strollers. “The 50th anniversary of the Mustang coincides with my oldest daughter receiving her driving license in 2014, so for the past five years I’ve been looking for someone or a compa-ny to restore my Mustang.”One of her clients, Jason Heard, of the Vancouver Classic Car Show and Sale, recommended 360 Fabrication in Abbotsford. The boys at 360 are now working their magic on this rare car and Laura will

get her wish to parade the beauty at upcoming Mustang 50th anniversary celebrations.The car will have its grand unveiling at the Vancouver Collector Car Show and Auction at the Pacific National Exhibition grounds in June.Over the next few weeks, we will reveal that this is not just any Mustang (one of only 453 built in 1967) and walk you through its restoration pro-cess. One that is a daunting experience for many seasoned car collectors let alone a proud mother with a passion for her old car. The world of automo-tive restoration is fraught with prob-lems; the one that comes to mind is the final invoice. An old rule of thumb for the realists has been to get an estimate and then double or triple it!

We will see how this exciting project plays out between now and mid-June.

The Regional District of Central Kootenay is sticking by its decision to buy office furniture from a Vancouver Island supplier even though a local company had a lower bid.

On Thursday the board upheld awarding the con-tract to Graphic Office Inte-rior Ltd. instead of Cowan’s Office Supply of Nelson, without a promised inde-pendent adjudication of the process.

Chair John Kettle ex-plained that Nelson char-tered accountant Am Naqvi volunteered to carry out the review for free, but partway through, his professional association advised him against offering an opin-ion. The board did not seek a different adjudicator.

Asked if he thought that would expose them to more criticism, he agreed it might, “but it was the thought that counted ... the board has al-ready voted to do this. We’ve done our due diligence. I think this has been blown so far out of proportion, it’s a little scary.”

Kettle said they only took another look at it and de-layed the process by a few weeks when one of the bid-ders publicly “questioned the credibility of our staff, the way we did it, and the directors’ decision.” But he’s confident they followed the rules and said a legal opin-ion bore that out.

Last month RDCK direc-tors approved a $182,000 contract with Graphic Of-fice to supply new office furniture for their Nelson office. This upset Cowan Office Supplies, which had a bid that was about $20,000 lower. The regional district defended its decision, ex-plaining that the higher bid better met their specifica-tions based on a staff review. But it held off on signing the contracts pending the outcome of today’s board meeting.

The furniture is part of an overall office renovation totalling about $662,000 be-fore taxes. Dan Maglio Con-tracting of Nelson, which had the low bid of $302,176, will handle several aspects of the project. Graphic Of-fice was also directly award-ed the contract for a new file storage, reception area, and copy room for $91,545.

Two directors tried today to revisit the decision: ru-ral Nelson’s Ramona Faust asked that a portion of the work — refurnishing the board room at an estimated cost of $36,000 — be sent out for bids. As it stands, the contract will be direct-ly awarded through a pro-vincial corporate supply agreement. Faust said she saw value in the upgrades, but thought they would be better served through a competitive process. How-ever, her motion only found support from fellow rural Nelson representative Ron Mickel.

Administrator Brian Car-ruthers explained the board room makeover will allow it to double as an emergency operations centre, a func-tion presently served by the old Telus building on Vic-toria Street, which the re-gional district doesn’t own. “We don’t have a secure agreement for that building and never will,” he said. “We need to make technological upgrades to operate effec-tively and can’t invest in a building we have no long-term tenure in.”

The current board table, which came from the re-gional district’s old office, is “not conducive” to an emer-gency centre, Carruthers said. The new emergency centre was not part of the original space plan Graphic Office developed for the board office last year but Carruthers said the idea is to make the room multi-purpose and allow electron-ic devices to be plugged in at the table. (Directors are issued tablet devices for re-gional district business.)

Rural Castlegar director Gord Zaitsoff asked that the furniture contract be revis-ited, but his motion was also defeated. “In the last few years, I believe we have been inconsistent in some of our policies,” he said.

However, rural Kaslo di-rector Andy Shadrack said he had heard nothing to change his mind. “I would not vote against a local bid unless they didn’t meet the specifications. I voted on

the merits of each bid and object to the way the media and others have pilloried staff and directors. I object to the way the Nelson Star has behaved.”

Rural Castlegar director Andy Davidoff successfully introduced a motion for staff to review the regional district’s purchasing policy to make sure it meets pro-vincial and national trade agreements. He said con-cerned constituents ap-proached him when they saw the Star’s coverage about the new board table and its cost. He suggested the regional district should better explain its rationale: “I think it’s important to put out messaging that makes it crystal clear what we’re do-ing.”

Following the debate, Paul Cowan told the Star he remained disappointed with the decisions. “We feel the outcome of this [request for proposals] was decided before it went out,” he said. “We were hopeful they would reconsider it based on savings to the taxpayers ... As a taxpayer myself, I’m questioning the whole pro-cess.”

Cowan said he was both-ered both by the fact his company was passed over despite having the lowest bid and that portions of the job were not sent to tender. He also expressed skepti-cism that provincial cor-porate supply agreements always guarantee the best price and service.

Nine Selkirk College Nursing Program stu-dents have arrived in Guatemala to promote health, develop skills and continue a partner-ship that has touched many lives for almost a decade.

The Selkirk College Guatemala Internation-al Nursing Experience practicum has been sending students to the Central American country since 2005. Over those years students have done their part to foster global under-standing and have made a difference in a na-tion that’s one of the poorest in the region.

“Originally I thought it would be a really good personal experience and professional experience, seeing how nursing can be trans-ferrable to other countries,” nursing student Melissa Mazereeuw said last week as the group made its final preparations for the trip. “As I began to learn and grow in my own nursing knowledge, I discovered that there are a lot of reciprocal things happening between the north and south. I’m hoping I can go down and bring down some knowledge back to my community.”

The nine third-year students and Nursing Program Instructor Mary-Ann Morris left for Guatemala on Tuesday and will be work-ing with communities until May 24. They are joined by Nelson resident Michael Chapman who has acted as the facilitator of the practi-cum since it began.

Providing Health Care at the Grassroots Level

The goal of the practicum is to explore how community development and health are pos-itively linked. The students collaborate with their grassroots community organization partners in addressing fundamental social is-sues such as poverty, inequality, discrimina-tion and human rights violations. One of the primary partners is the Association of Women in Solidarity (AMES) which works with wom-en labourers in factories located in free trade zones surrounding Guatemala City.

“It’s a lot of work, but throughout the year we have been learning extra skills,” said stu-dent Braden MacLeod. “One of the reasons I chose to do it was to explore the evolution of nursing. As the definition of nursing broad-ens, so does what nurses do. It goes beyond the hospital and clinic as we begin to explore things outside of our bodies and how it all af-fects health.”

Guatemala has a population of 15.4 million and is comprised of more than 60 per cent descendants of the ancient Maya. The coun-try was gripped in a civil war between 1960 and 1996 which continues to have a profound impact on its people. It is estimated that the wealthiest 10 per cent of the population re-ceives 50 per cent of all income and that 7.6 million people live in extreme poverty.

“This is an important trip for those taking part because we are continuing on an import-ant relationship and helping it evolve on the work that has been done by students in previ-ous years,” Mazereeuw said.

“The build-up and planning has been just as rewarding and beneficial, both personally and professionally. We have been called upon to use and hone skills we didn’t even know we had. We’ve really had to try new things and step out of our comfort zones. This will be beneficial to us when we are in the south.”

A facial is a professional service designed to improve and rejuvenate the skin. It helps to maintain the health of your skin and correct certain skin conditions through deep cleansing, massage, the use of masks and other products and various treatment methods. Why are regular facials bene� cial to aging skin?There are many factors that contribute to the skins aging process. The skin will age faster if it is neglected, if it has been exposed to extreme climates, too much sun, wind or polluted air, and also if you have poor health or emotional stress. Furthermore, extreme weight loss that results in lack of muscle tone, medications, lack of proper diet, smoking and misuse of alcohol can also have a negative effect. Facials can help aging skin improve by working with you to combat all of the mentioned factors.As you age the body’s processes slow down, and cells are not re-placed as quickly as they used to be when the body was younger. This can cause the skin to lose its elasticity which is what causes wrinkles. During a facial, products with � rming ingredients can be used to give the skin a plumper look. You could also ask about colla-gen or hydrating masks that gives your skin extra moisture. Over ex-posure to the sun can be treated by using antioxidant rich products that protect your cells from free radical damage. Antioxidants such as vitamins A, C, and E, as well as green tea, and grape seed extract all help protect against dark spots caused by free radical damage. Why are PCA facials important for aging skin?PCA Skin is a medical grade product line that has high concen-

trations of active ingredients which have shown great results with continued sessions. For aging skin we would use such products as:

• Creamy Cleanser which has ingredients such as aloe juice which has antibacterial properties and also acts as a detoxifying agent. It also has rose hip extract which is a collagen builder. • C-Quench serum has hyloronic acid which is a very deep moistur izer. It plumps your skin through the use of water and doesn’t dry out your skin.• Therapeutic Oat Milk Mask is for the very dry skin. It deeply hy- drates and softens the skin.

With the use of these products aging skin can look healthy, beautiful, and slow down the aging process.

Are facials intended for women only?Absolutely not. Men can also bene� t from a facial routine. After all, men also have the same factors affecting their skin as the women do. Men normally don’t spend a lot of time on their skin so the facial is kept simple so that a home routine can be similar without too much of a time commitment.

Please book your medial grade facial with a licenced esthetician at www.silverbirchclinic.com or call 250-365-6538.

Community/EducationSelkirk College English instructor

wins prestigious award

Selkirk College Instructor Myler Wilkinson with the spring edition of The Fiddlehead which features his award winning short story The Blood of Slaves.

Myler Wilkin-son’s deep connec-tion with one of the greatest short story writers in history has earned recognition and praise from a dis-tinguished Canadian literary journal.

In the Spring, 2014 edition of � e Fiddle-head, the Selkirk Col-lege instructor was named the winner of the journal’s 23rd An-nual Literary Contest for Best Short Fic-tion. Wilkinson’s win-ning short story—� e Blood of Slaves—is based on the life of famed Russian writer Anton Chekhov.

“I sent it to the journal without any real feeling that I would win anything at all,” says Wilkin-son. “I knew it was a good story and well written, but I didn’t expect to win.”

� e Fiddlehead is Canada’s longest liv-ing literary journal and is published four times a year at the University of New Brunswick (UNB). First published in 1945, � e Fiddlehead is known as the who’s who of Canadian lit-erature. Out of the dozens of shortlisted stories submitted for the annual award, UNB writer-in-resi-dence Douglas Glover chose Wilkinson’s en-try as the best of the best.

“� e idea of writ-ing a story about a Russian writer who died in 1904 and all of the things that made him Russian and im-portant as a writer in the world, is not necessarily a topic that you would think would be immediate-ly interesting to Ca-nadian readers,” says Wilkinson. “I’m so very pleased that he [Glover] saw enough that he put me at the top of quite distin-guished list of writers.

He saw something there and that means a lot in-and-of itself.

Writing across cul-tures has become a more important thing these days.”

A Career Spent Exploring Russian

Culture

� e seeds for � e Blood of Slaves were planted many years ago. Wilkinson ar-rived at Selkirk Col-lege to teach English more than 25 years ago where he contin-ued to strengthen his bonds with Russian culture. He has visited many times where he has taught at the pres-tigious Moscow State University.

Inspiration to Create Comes in Di� erent Forms

� e Fiddlehead award is just one highlight of Wilkin-son’s impressive ca-reer in both literature and education. He has published several books and had many

articles featured in journals across North America.

His � rst major rec-ognition came early in his career when he won an award in Prism International, the oldest literary magazine in Western Canada which is pub-lished by the Creative Writing Program of the University of Brit-ish Columbia. For Prism International’s 25th anniversary an-thology, Wilkinson’s short story was in-cluded amongst Ca-nadian greats like Margaret Laurence, Al Purdy and Alden Nowlan.

Now 61, Wilkinson is nearing the end of his teaching career and says getting a nod for his work comes at a special time.

“Prizes are always given a year or two af-ter you have written a story, so in some ways this is already in the past,” he says.

“It’s not any guar-

antee of the future, but it reminds you that the writing you have done was important to you, was valued by people along the way. It provides that little bit of impetus to do a little bit more.”

� e Blood of Slaves is dedicated to Al-exander Vaschenko, the Russian scholar, writer and artist who Wilkinson says made his deep connection to Russia possible.

Over the years Vaschenko visited the Kootenays where he gave guest lectures. Vaschenko passed away this winter and Wilkinson is traveling to Russia in the sum-mer for his memorial service.

Wilkinson was instrumental in the creation of the Mir Centre for Peace on the Castlegar Cam-pus. He continues to teach English Litera-ture and in the Peace Studies Program at Selkirk College.

Anne Fomeno� has accepted the responsi-bility of carrying on a legal/ethical crusade on behalf of her daughter Gloria Taylor.

Taylor su� ered from ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, and had campaigned in fa-vour of the legal right to die with dignity when the inevitable incapacitation from ALS had oc-curred. She passed away, however, in 2012 at the age of 64 from an un-related condition.

Fomeno� was in Vancouver on Monday, May 19, part of a press conference announcing further steps in an ongoing legal process.

� e BC Supreme Court had ruled in 2012 that the Criminal Code of Canada provisions against assisted dying were unconstitutional. � e federal government then appealed and the BC Court of Appeal overturned the lower court’s ruling in late 2013.

� e BC Civil Liberties Association then ap-pealed to the Supreme Court of Canada which will hear oral arguments in the case beginning October 14, 2014.

“Gloria fought a courageous battle at the end of her life,” said Fomeno� at the media event. “She believed that all Canadians have the right to die peacefully and without su� ering. Gloria believed that ‘death with dignity’ is actually about living – it is about how a person chooses to live their � nal days.”

Anne Fomeno� had been a founding mem-ber of the Castlegar Hospice Society in 1985, and says that involvement had shaped her val-ues and beliefs about death and dying.

“I have seen � rsthand the su� ering of the dying,” she said in a prepared statement. “I

have witnessed deaths that were slow, di� cult, painful and undigni� ed – deaths took away ev-erything that made life worth living.”

Gloria Taylor’s son Jason was also on the scene in Vancouver on Monday, stating, in part, “My mom was given no choice about get-ting this dreadful disease but she did have a choice on how she handled it. Her ‘choice’ was to put a human face to this incredible journey of hers.” “� is is a personal choice,” Fomeno� stated to the Castlegar News on May 20. “It’s not up to the courts or the judges, governments of religions to decide what happens with my life.”

What is palliative care? Hospice palliative care is aimed at relief of suffering and improving the quality of life for persons who are living with or dying from ad-vanced illness or are bereaved.Palliative care is a special kind of health care for individuals and families who are living with a life-threatening illness that is usually at an advanced stage. The goal of palliative care is comfort and dignity for the person living with the illness as well as the best quality of life for both this person and his or her family. A “family” is whoever the person says his or her family is. It may include relatives, partners and friends.An important objective of palliative care is re-lief of pain and other symptoms. Palliative care is planned to meet not only physical needs but also the psychological, social, cultural, emo-tional and spiritual needs of each person and family. Palliative care may be the main focus of care when a cure for the illness is no longer possible. Palliative care services help people in later life who are ill to live out their remaining time in comfort and dignity.Palliative care services are helpful not only when a person is approaching death but also at earlier stages in the illness. Palliative care may be combined with treatments aimed at reducing or curing the illness, such as che-motherapy. Families also bene� t from support when their loved one is dying and after his or her death.What is the de� nition of hospice pallia-tive care? Hospice palliative care is aimed at relief of suffering and improving the quality of life for persons who are living with or dying from ad-vanced illness or are bereaved.Is there a difference between palliative care and hospice care? In Canada, we tend to use both terms to refer to the same thing — this speci� c approach to care. However, some people use hospice care to describe care that is offered in the commu-nity rather than in hospitals.Who bene� ts from palliative care? Individuals and families living with life-threat-ening illnesses bene� t from palliative care. Many people who receive palliative care have cancer. Palliative care also helps those living with other diseases such as advanced heart, respiratory and kidney disease, Alzheimer Dis-ease, AIDS, ALS and multiple sclerosis.Who provides palliative care? Most people are cared for by their family and friends. At certain times, they may need some help. In these situations, palliative care is usu-ally provided by members of a palliative care team. When a team is involved, the person and his or her family are encouraged to make choices about the kind of care they want and to take an active part in planning care.Who is on the team is determined by the needs of the person and his or her family. The team often includes nurses with specialized pallia-tive care skills, the person’s family physician; a physician specialized in palliative care, a social worker, a spiritual counselor and a pharmacist.

Your chance to show support for Canadian Olympi-an Clara Hughes’ Big Ride is coming up this Saturday.

Clara’s ride to raise awareness of mental health issues will take her through Castlegar on her way to Nelson where a sizable event is being held in her honour.

Here’s the idea… let’s get a crowd to-gether, just before 1:30 p.m. on Highway 3A out in front of the Doukhobour Discov-ery Centre (West side of the highway).

Let’s wave and hol-ler… and show this outstanding athlete we support her and the issues she’s draw-ing attention to.

Kathy & Bill Berquist.

For the second time in three years Castle Bowl is sending a ladies team to the National Level of the National Clas-sified Tournament in 5 pin bowling!

On Saturday May 10 the five player team consisting of Dorothy Scott, Mae Perepolkin, Tina Fomenoff, Lisa Lesy and Lori Bakken bowled five games to win the championship.

This tournament allows all bowlers, no matter what average they have, to compete. There are five different aver-age classes, and you compete for a spot in your class on the team. Castlegar had enough interest that we had our own zone finals, ensuring we’d send a men’s and ladies’ team to Provincials.

This years men’s team placed a re-spectable fourth place battling the whole way through. An exceptional perfor-mance by Geoff Tellier earned him an all star award for his class.

The ladies were off like a shot from the first game and never let up. They finished 193 points over second place Kelowna Capri lanes to win. The class 2 bowler, Mae Perepolkin, won all star for her five games, averaging 189. Tina Fomenoff, in class 3, also won all star averaging 216, and Lori Bakken in class 5 also threw the highest single of the day with a 293. Their total pin fall in five games was an impressive 4951.

The girls are now off to Saskatoon, SK for two days worth of bowling against the other provincial champions on June 21-22.

Congratulations on your hard work and good luck to our girls!

The Selkirk Saints’ continuing process of recruitment has borne more fruit of late with the acquisi-tion of Matt Martin, a solid veteran of junior hockey programs on both sides of the con-tinent.

Matt Martin is a 5’11’’, 180 lb. centre who joins the Saints following four sea-sons with stints in B.C., Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and Cal-ifornia.

He began the

2013/14 season with the Maritime Hock-ey League’s Yarmouth Mariners, picking up four points in 15 games before a No-vember trade to the BCHL’s Victoria Griz-zlies. Martin netted three points in eight

games with the Griz-zlies before finishing the season with the Western States Hock-ey League’s Ontario Avalanche.

“Matt is a hard-working, effec-tive two-way player who can contribute in all three zones,” says Saints head coach Jeff Dubois. “We’ve ben-efitted over the past two seasons from hav-ing players like Scott Swiston and Connor McLaughlin who bought in to playing a

strong defensive game and did a great job shutting down the op-position’s top players. It’s a reflection of our confidence in Matt’s abilities that we see him filling that type of key role at the college level.”

The Semiahmoo minor hockey prod-uct also played two seasons with the Pa-cific Junior Hockey League’s Grandview Steelers before spend-ing the 2012/13 cam-paign with the SJHL’s Weyburn Red Wings.

“I’m really excited to start my post-sec-ondary education af-ter four years of junior hockey,” says Mar-tin. “I look forward to meeting my new teammates and con-tinuing the winning tradition the Saints have established.

“I’ll aim to adapt quickly to the atmo-sphere and demands that life at Selkirk will offer, as well as effec-tively become a strong asset to the Saints on and off the ice.”

Martin is the Saints’ eighth commitment for the 2014/15 sea-son, joining forwards Ryan Edwards (Bea-ver Valley, KIJHL), Ja-mie Vlanich (Nelson Leafs, KIJHL), Alex Milligan (Peninsula Panthers, VIJHL) and Connor Beauchemin (Castlegar Rebels, KIJHL), as well as de-fencemen Curtis Ton-eff (Campbell River Storm, VIJHL) and Danny Vlanich (Sur-rey Eagles, BCHL) and goaltender Ste-ven Glass (Nipawin Hawks, SJHL).

Rugby ReturnsAfter an 11 year hiatus, rugby is back with a vengeance at SHSS (in Yellow). Both the senior boys and girls teams had fantastic seasons under the direction of coaches, Neil Burmel, Kathleen Dempster and Trent Coombs.

Sculpture Talk

Community Garden, Heirloom Seeds(steel)

From Invermere comes the dynamic work of sculptor and studio co-owner Cajsa Fredin. Her initial o� er on dis-play at Sculpturewalk embodies the old adage, a “veritable riot of colour”. � ere is much more to the work than a cornucopia of � owers, plants and vibrant colours though. “� is piece is about community, its history and how it shapes our lives,” says Fredin. “Speci� cally, life in the Kootenays - the many small towns that dot these mountains. It is about our connection to the earth and our roots, and what we have created with what we were given. It is about the growth of self and the communities we created, and the lives that are as interlinked as the trees and � owers growing around us.” Certainly there is a feel of harmony,

well-being and a� nity with nature to Community Garden, Heirloom Seeds. � at Fredin manages to do so using what is thought by some as a cool medium makes her generously-sized sculpture that much more im-pressive. She has fabricated dozens of metal � owers and plants – many of them native to the region, along with pe-rennial favourites like roses and lil-ies – and placed them haphazardly but deliberately in an old scavenged wheelbarrow. Attached to thin metal stalks, the � owers and plants create a luscious array of size, colour and style. Brilliant blues, yellows, violets and reds mingle with the natural metal hues of others. � ey explode over the side of the container helter-skelter, some upright, others hanging close to the ground. � e e� ect is eye-catching and appeal-ing. Fredin’s work is lush in its density, variety and composition - a wonder-ful mix of colour interspersed with natural metal, o� set by the rust and disrepair of the salvaged wheelbarrow. “I love using old found objects,” she says. “� e history inherent and em-bodied in them tells me its story, shaping its future form. O� en, my ideas are inspired by things I see in the forest on walks with my awesome canine sidekick Blackie. Old cans that I turn into candle holders, broken chairs that inspire, and other castaway objects that sit in my studio until I need them.” � e wheelbarrow is a prime example; the studio Fredin speaks of is Black Star Studios. She opened the eclectic gallery/workshop space in Invermere with partners a� er � nishing her de-gree (BFA honours) at the University

of Calgary. She decided on metal work there in her second year, a� er notic-ing “how empty the metal shop was in comparison to the woodworking area”. Back residing in the Columbia Valley, Fredin keeps busy artistically. Coop-eratively running the gallery, sharing the studio space, and creating won-derful sculptures like Community Garden, Heirloom Seeds keeps her enthused, and busy. Her passion is apparent. “I have always known art is the thing that makes me tick. I love � guring out ways to build things, using di� er-ent materials, bringing them to life. It comes out of me in a methodical yet haphazard manner. I see the piece in my head but know it will go through many changes of the heart before its � nal form is realized.” Working from her head and heart, utilizing found objects and inspired by her surroundings, Fredin has sculpted an invigorating work. Com-munity Garden, Heirloom Seeds is a brilliant, arresting bouquet of color, imagination and creative vision.

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

Cajsa Fredin

Sphere of In� uence (steel)

Carl Schlichting’s sculptures seem to provoke passionate responses. He wouldn’t have it any other way.“It doesn’t really matter to me if people love or hate or are non-committal re-garding my sculptures,” he says with his customary grin. “For me, it’s all about passion. I work from my heart, recreating discarded material in dif-ferent forms. I hope that people like my output, but if they don’t that is � ne. Art is hugely subjective a� er all.” � e Passmore resident tends to go for the oversized and the reused when he sculpts. In 2012 he dis-played QR (originally titled Reused, Reclaimed, Recycled), a 12-foot drainage pipe with strategic jigsaw puzzle piece - styled cut-outs pepper-ing its surface then pleasingly reap-plied at the top of the pipe. � at piece was purchased by the City of Nelson in 2013 to invigorate the revitalized

Railtown area at the west end of Baker Street. Lets just say public opinion of the installation is, well, mixed.Last year he presented Tree of Light to Sculpturewalk viewers. Using twist-ed I-beams, chrome ‘leaves’ from old hubcaps/bumpers and used halogen bulbs, he fashioned an arresting work from discarded materials that was big and bold. He continues to think in a similar vein with his entry this year.Sphere of In� uence is a 12-foot round ball, created by taking used bicycle wheels and gears of all shapes and sizes and joining them with welds to create the sphere. For added ef-fect some of the wheels are colourful greens, blues and pinks, contrasting with the relative uniformity of the ma-jority. It brings to mind Buckminster Fuller’s American pavilion at Expo ’67 in Montreal – visionary, geometric and eye-catching.“In� uence your sphere! is what I’m thinking here,” says Schlichting, “re-gardless of how big or small it might be, or what the issue is. � ere is power in speaking out, in standing by your convictions and beliefs.”Schlichting grew up on the Prairies in an artistic family environment. He has passed that on to his own children, joining them to work collaboratively in snow and ice-sculpting competi-tions. Daughter Simone has a bronze work entered in this year’s show, as she did last year. A� er migrating westward and getting a diploma from Vancouver City Col-lege (later Langara) Schlichting spent the majority of his career in the mu-seum/gallery world. A skilled, expert exhibit mount maker, he has designed and built countless exhibit mounts for shows across the country and around

the world. Now he is content to make the Slocan Valley home, curtailing the travel for the most part but continuing to ply his expertise as the sole propri-etor of his business: In Support of Dif-� cult Art and Artifacts.� e play-on-words company name reveals his sense of wit and humour, and the dichotomy between profes-sional and personal creativity. “I make a living with my mount making prac-tice. It’s exacting, demanding work. So you can see why my personal output o� en tends to the opposite. It’s zany, free-wheeling, whatever strikes me at the moment sort of stu� that acts as a release valve. It allows me to experi-ment with form and expression as a counterbalance to the speci� cations and measurements required in my professional work.”As Schlichting points out, his years of practice stand him in good stead. He learns new mediums easily and is skilled in many. “Finding my own voice continues to be a journey with an unknown horizon though,” he says, laughing. Sculpturewalk a� cionados will recognize that voice for what it is – bold, brash and unafraid to create on a grand scale and scope. Sphere of In� uence is all of those.

In Memory Of

February 23, 2014 - November 29, 1913

It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of Alex A. Pereverzoff of Castlegar, BC on April 22, 2014, at eighty-six years of age.

Alex was born on July 23, 1927 in Kylemore, Saskatchewan to Alex and Mabel Pereverzoff . He was the second of four children. From a young age, Alex worked on the family farm, attending school in Kylemore and Wadena. He was one of the fi rst young Doukhobors to attend university, and studied at the universities in Saskatoon and Victoria, fi nally obtaining a degree in teaching from UBC.

In 1948, Alex moved to British Columbia and married Nancy Samarodin in 1950. Th ey raised four children – Neil, Linda, Bonnie and Douglas – and lived in Slocan Park and Crescent Valley before fi nally settling in Raspberry Village near Castlegar.

He had a long and fruitful teaching career. He started in the two-room schoolhouse in Slocan Park, and served as a teacher and principal for 35 years, before retiring as the principal of Brent Kennedy Elementary in South Slocan in 1985. One of his proudest achievements was introducing the Russian language program into the Nelson school district in the 1980’s.

Alex was very active in his local community. He helped establish the Raspberry Irrigation District, served as an alternate Director for Regional District of Central Kootenay Area “J,” and as a member of the Board of Governors of Selkirk College.

Alex was also a dedicated Doukhobor and lifetime member of the Union of Spiritual Communities of Christ organization. He sang in choirs and served on many committees throughout the years. After retiring, he helped organize the Kootenay Men’s Group, and enjoyed volunteering in the men’s woodworking shop, building boxes, stools and caskets. He was well-known as a seniors’ counselor and funeral offi ciate in the area.

A beloved father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Alex loved spending time with his family, fi shing and golfi ng, playing fastball, attending summer picnics and traveling.

Alex was predeceased by an infant son, his daughter Linda in 2010, his brother Mac and sister Anne, and both his parents.

He leaves behind his loving wife Nancy, children Neil (and partner Natasha), Bonnie (and husband James Warner) and Douglas (and partner Alex DeMartini). Nine grandchildren: Cameron, Kimberley, Krysha and Curtis Pereverzoff ; Jeremy (and wife Jen) and Jasmine Drazdoff ; Kassandra Warner; Alexandra and Kylie Pereverzoff . Five great-grandchildren: Taylor Pereverzoff -La Hue, Eli Overennay, and Kayla, Annika and Wesley Drazdoff . Also his loving sister Verna Negraeff (and husband Lorne) and many nieces, nephews and friends.

Th e Pereverzoff family would like to extend special thanks to: Verna and Lorne Negraeff for their love and support during Alex’s passing; John J. Verigin, Laura and the rest of their family for their kind wishes and words of wisdom; all the friends and neighbours who called or came to the house with food, fl owers and messages of condolence; relatives who travelled long distances; the Kootenay psalmists and the singers; and the ladies who prepared and served a delicious lunch. Very special thanks to Peter Zaytsoff for conducting the service with such dignity and sensitivity. Th anks also to Bill Strilaeff and staff at the Castlegar Funeral Home; to Dr. Ellen Smart for lovingly caring for Alex over many years; and the home care nurses and the staff of Talarico Place for their compassionate care.

Th e family sincerely thanks all those who made donations in Alex’s memory. May he rest in peace.
