For one special evening, community and council members gathered to rub el-bows with some of the most talented sculptors and artists from around the world.

The 5th annual Castlegar Sculpturewalk Awards Gala took place on Saturday and organizers are calling it a great success.

The night opened up with brief performances from the troupe Circus Acts Insomni-acs and musical group Bessie Wapp & Friends before vice chairman for Sculpturewalk, Chris Bell, took the stage.

Bell’s speech set the tone for the remainder of the night: charming and some-what serious with plenty of jokes thrown in for good measure.

“This event is about com-munity,” Bell began. “It’s also about providing a venue for artists to display their work.

“I know that most of you know that artists are very wealthy people. They’re in it

for the money mostly,” Bell laughed.

Taking a more serious tone, Bell went on to say he was happy with the turnout but the work doesn’t end with the gala.

Sculpturewalk’s long term goal is “to keep sell-ing as many pieces from the downtown tour out into the community to become part of the permanent collection, so that we can reach our goal of having 250 pieces in and around our area.”

Bell then welcomed Ex-ecutive Director Joy Barrett to the stage for the award ceremonies.

“We’ve accomplished a great deal in just five years,” Barrett said, “We are now the number one Castlegar visitor experience on Trip Advisor, and I’m thrilled to say that this year we’ve been officially recognized by the Canadian Government with the trade-mark, the sculpture capital of Canada.”

For the awards, there were two distinct categories; Peo-ple’s Choice awards and Art-

ist Merit awards.For the Artist Merit, third

place went to “The Kiss” by Serge Moznehvsky, second to “Zodiac Totem” by Pok-ey Park, and first place to “Northern Leopard Frog” by Kevin Kratz and James Karthein.

Kratz, was ecstatic about the win.

“I think we’re gonna move to Castlegar. Are there any real estate agents who would like to rent us a shop? We want to make sculptures for you every year, for the next 400 years.”

Winners of the People’s Choice awards included “Saturday’s Distractions” by Lee Leuning and Sherri Treeby and Heather Wall’s “Sea Swimmer” tied for third place.

Second went to “Sphere” by Carl Schlichting and first place was awarded to “Northern Leopard Frog” again.

This was the first time the same sculpture was awarded first place in both categories.

All winners were given

a cash prize in addition to the amount their sculpture sold for.

Artist and two-time win-ner James Karthein was at a loss for words.

“It’s huge. It’s such a nod to the work we do. We put hundreds of hundreds of hours into that frog and to be rewarded with both awards, it’s, it’s, I don’t know, I’m speechless. I’m pumped, it’s a beautiful thing.”

Once the awards were handed out the stage was cleared for the entertainment acts.

For the next couple of hours dancers and acrobats performed alongside come-dian Lucas Myers and musi-cians Bessie Wapp & Friends.

Although the gala is over for this year, many submis-sions have already been sent in for next year’s Sculpture-walk including entries from areas as far away as Australia, Cuba and Iran.

Music played, songs were sung and most importantly, memories were kept alive.

On November 11 the City of Castlegar and its citizens remembered.

The annual Remembrance Day ceremonies took place at the Castlegar cenotaph as those in attendance took the time to pay their respects to all of those who gave so much in times of war.

The event began at 10:30 a.m. with a march from Co-lumbia Avenue and Third Street to the cenotaph at Kinsmen Park.

The march included past and present members of the armed forces, RCMP, local police, cadets and scouts.

Upon arrival, a large ring was formed around the cenotaph and the ceremony took place.

Representatives delivered several heartfelt speeches from Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper, MP Alex At-amenenko and MLA Ka-trine Conroy, with songs of “God Save the Queen” and “Last Rose of Summer” per-formed in between.

Nearing the end of the ceremonies, many wreaths donated from various groups and businesses with-in Castlegar were brought up and placed before the cenotaph.

After the wreaths had been placed a moment of si-lence was had and a prayer said before those in atten-dance took their leave.

Third in a series marking the centennial of the First World War

When the Doukhobors emigrated to Canada from Russia, it was with the un-derstanding they would be exempt from military service, a key consideration given their pacifist beliefs. The First World War put that promise to the test.

The minutes of a privy council meeting of December 6, 1898 relate how, since their settlement in the Caucasus, Doukhobors had “by their good behavior, diligence, sobriety and hard working qualities brought noth-ing but prosperity to the barren localities in which they were originally settled.”

However, as they were “averse to bear-ing arms” — they burned their weapons en masse three years earlier — the Russian gov-ernment permitted (or encouraged) them to leave the country.

Canada considered Doukhobors a “most desirable class of settlers” to locate on the Prairies, and interior minister Clifford Sifton felt it “expedient to give them the fullest assurances of absolute immunity from mil-itary service in the event of their settling in this country.”

A section of the Militia Act already con-tained an exemption for Quakers, Menno-nites, and others with religious objections. Sifton suggested it be extended to the Douk-hobors as well.

Following the approval of an or-der-in-council, about 8,000 Doukhobors came to Canada, first to what’s now Sas-katchewan and then B.C., where they bought land, planted orchards, built sawmills and factories, and lived communally.

CARLOAD OF JAMDuring the First World War, Doukhob-

ors were taken aback when asked to fill out registration cards, which they suspected was the first step toward conscription.

In January 1917, a delegation led by Pe-ter Makaroff, then a Saskatoon law student, met with solicitor general and future prime minister Arthur Meighen in Ottawa. They said they will be willing to have their taxes doubled so long as they were not called to fight. Meighen assured them the government would uphold its end of the bargain but sev-en months later introduced a conscription act that ensnared at least some Doukhobors.

Meanwhile, to quell any resentment among neighbours over their special status, Doukhobor leader Peter (Lordly) Verigin announced he would contribute $100 per month to the patriotic fund in Grand Forks and that his people would help the war ef-fort by donating a carload of jam from their factory at Brilliant — 12 tons in the form of 5,000 five-pound tins, worth $5,000 (the equivalent of $92,500 today).

That included 7,500 lbs. of strawberry jam, 7,500 lbs. of raspberry, and the remainder of plumb, peach, and black currant, which came at the expense of families at Brilliant who cut back on their personal allowances. (Earlier, the Independent Doukhobors of Thrums contributed 19 sacks of potatoes to the patriotic fund.)

The jam was intended for wounded sol-diers in B.C., but the donation was so large that it was shared with other western prov-inces: two tons went to St. Chad’s Military Convalescent Hospital at Regina, two tons to the Returned Soldiers’ Association in Winnipeg, one ton to the Returned Soldiers Association of Alberta, and the rest to the Military Convalescent Hospital at Esquim-

alt. A small amount was also distributed by Victoria women’s patriotic organizations.

The donation’s novelty earned headlines around the continent.

“The gift is noteworthy because of the anti-war philosophy of the Doukhobors, this being the first time they have taken part in any of the war activities,” said the San Jose Evening News.

However, the Wall Street Journal was unimpressed. In an editorial, it wrote: “Sa-lute the better understanding of Ottawa. Salute the simple, primitive faith of simple folk, whose true home-made charity works briberies into our system in spite of all con-viction.”

ENLISTED AND CONSCRIPTEDBy some accounts, Peter Verigin didn’t

think independent Doukhobors who had left communal life should be entitled to the military exemption. He also noted “a num-ber of young men in his settlement have already enlisted for service at the front, and many others will enlist in the near future.”

Jon Kalmakoff ’s Doukhobor Genealogy Website has identified 62 such men, most-ly independents from Saskatchewan who signed up voluntarily, although some were drafted. There were also two from B.C.: John Nevacshonoff and Demitri Kolesnikoff, both of Thrums.

Nevacshonoff was only 15 when he lied about his age and enlisted in June 1916. He served in France with the 232nd Battalion, but regretted his participation, saying he had “given three years of his life to the devil.” He implored his sons never to go to war.

According to a family obituary, Ne-vacshonoff claimed to have participated in a Christmas truce with his German oppo-nents, who “amongst themselves decided it was a senseless war and that they would no longer shoot each other.”

He also said that late in the war, Rus-sian-Canadian soldiers refused to kill Rus-sian troops, and were captured and marched for a week without food. Many died and others were placed in a prisoner of war camp and finally dishonourably discharged. (Ne-vacshonoff ’s online attestation papers don’t indicate whether this was his fate.)

Kolesnikoff, meanwhile, was 36 when he was conscripted in June 1918 into the 1st Depot Battalion at Calgary, having failed to report for duty the previous year. His fate from that point on is unclear, although it appears he and wife Mary had two sons, John and Peter, who died in Grand Forks in 1975 and 1966 respectively.

Top: The Kootenay Columbia Preserving Works at Bril-liant produced 12 tons of jam for convalescing soldiers during World War I. Doukhobor leader Peter (Lordly) Verigin hoped it would calm tension with neighboring farmers who, unlike his followers, were not exempt from military service. Greg Nesteroff collection Below: Doukhobor family photos.

continued from page A4

Doukhobors and WWIWhile the federal government for the most

part kept its promise to exempt Doukhobors from military service, it punished them in another way. They, along with other religious groups and conscientious objectors, were disenfranchised by the War-time Elections Act of 1917.

This probably had little practical effect on orthodox Doukhobors who were unlikely to vote anyway, but may have affected some in-dependents. Doukhobors had their franchise returned after the war, but taken away again from 1934 to 1955.

Despite the jam donation, anti-Doukho-bor sentiments grew in 1918, fanned by the Great War Veterans Association. At a farmers meeting in Grand Forks, a resolution was unanimously passed calling for conscription of Doukhobors.

It stated that “all our young, able-bodied men have been taken away from our farms and necessary industries for the successfully carrying on of the war, and the Doukhobors and other aliens are taking advantage of the scarcity of labour and are retarding the work of the country by holding out for exorbitant wages.”

After the war, people at a public meeting in Grand Forks urged the government to buy out the Doukhobor colony and replace it with a settlement of returned soldiers. Nothing came of it.

In their new book, From the West Coast to the Western Front, Mark Forsythe and Greg Dickson explore the relationship between Doukhobors and World War I, along with other minority groups, such as Japanese-Ca-nadians who fought for Canada, only to be interned during World War II, many in West Kootenay/Boundary.Sources:Vancouver Daily World, January 27, 1916“Doukhobors make donations,” Grand Forks

A year or so ago we were in Las Vegas and taking in as many shows as possible in a one-week period. Hav-ing always been interested in the group of recording artists who began their ca-reers in the mid 1950s, we decided to buy tickets to the “Million Dollar Quar-tet.”

The Million Dollar Quar-tet was comprised of Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash. All of these singers/musicians had made their debut at the recording studio of Sam Philips in Memphis, Tennessee in the 1950s.

The most famous initial-ly was Carl Perkins with “Blue Suede Shoes,” but he was soon overshadowed by the other three — in partic-

ular, Elvis Presley.The dramatic musical we

watched in Las Vegas was based on one evening in Sam Philips’ Sun Studio just before Christmas in 1956. Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins were jamming at the studio when Elvis, with a slight break in his touring schedule, dropped in.

Then Johnny Cash showed up, and they had quite a session, singing old songs and trying out new ones. Someone took a pho-to of the four of them with Elvis at the piano, and that photo inspired the show the “Million Dollar Quartet.”

It was a marvelous pro-gram of early rock and roll music from Elvis’ “Heart-break Hotel” to Lewis’s “Great Balls of Fire.” We loved every second of the

show and, in particular, we were overwhelmed by the piano playing and antics of the actor playing Jerry Lee Lewis. He must have been something in real life.

Recently, we traveled to the Memphis area, mainly to visit Graceland and par-ticipate in the Elvis Presley memorabilia. While there, we visited Sun Studios, which is still housed in the same building and has been restored to its 1950s décor.

The Sun entry room was set up with soda-fountain bar stools fronting a Co-ca-Cola and coffee bar. Just down the room was a gift shop featuring T-shirts, hats, ornaments, and CDs from the various blues and rock and roll artists recorded by Sun Records. The room was laden with

merchandise heavy in Elvis and Jerry Lee and Carl and Johnny.

But the real excitement came when we toured the recording studio and the museum rooms them-selves. We heard all the sto-ries about the blues back-ground to rock and roll, and we listened to the tales of the efforts of the early rock and rollers to make it with their style of music.

There’s a story, for ex-ample, that depicts Elvis running all the way from his home to the Sun Studio when Sam Philips asked him to be a third musician with the Bill Black combo to try out various pieces of music.

Remember to vote


Rock and Roll at the SunSpots in Time - Gord Turner

Well, the time has finally arrived. In three days, voters across the West Kootenay will go to the polls and elect, or in some cases re-elect, a council, mayor, school trustee or regional dis-trict representative.

It seems fitting to be going to the polls now, especially considering on Tuesday we were all paying homage to those who have fallen in bat-tle.

Remembrance Day ceremonies remind us of the sacrifices made by brave young men and women who laid down their lives so we could still have the right to vote.

They defended democracy and allowed us to live in a world where we are free to choose a government, whether it be municipal, provin-cial or federal.

Voters should remember that it is not only a right to vote, but a hard won privilege.

Sure, some parts of the campaign have been more heated than others. Some controversies have occurred and intense debates have broken out. But that time is almost over.

The candidates have done their jobs. Signs have been posted, speeches have been given and hands have been shaken.

We in the media have also done our jobs. Sto-ries written, meetings covered and ads sold.

Now it’s time for your job.It’s the public that decides the outcome of any

election, not the media, not the campaign man-agers and not the candidates. It’s time for you to do your job.

On Saturday get out and vote. There is noth-ing more important than to take part in the democratic process. It should be mandatory.

No excuse is good enough to stop you from doing your duty.

Don’t waste this opportunity to do the very thing that young men and women fought for and died to defend.

Cast your ballot.


� e quarter million dollar Connors Road Pathway certainly appears to be a waste of taxpayer money, as it is an irritant to the local residents and serves little pur-pose. Kelowna and Vancouver route their cycling tra� c through intersections much busier than ours with little more than green paint. It is certainly not a pathway that would draw me to it.

I was with the Friends of Parks and Trails Society from its inception and during our 10 year association I managed to construct seven new community trails over a distance of some 30 kilometres, many of them through di� cult and poorly accessible terrain. I am proud of the fact that this was accomplished for a mod-est � nancial outlay of $65,831, with a nearly equivalent amount being le� in the bank a� er my departure. Very little of this was taxpayer money, as almost all my sup-port came from local business and corporations such as Celgar, Pope & Talbot, BC Hydro, Columbia Power, and FortisBC.

My driving philosophy was to construct mainly nat-ural walking trails over minimally altered terrain which would o� er honest exercise and a degree of mental stim-ulation through connections to history and ecology. In-terpretive sign panels were a planned feature for many trails. It was my belief that such an interaction with a natural landscape o� ers health bene� ts and preserves cognitive function. Current research bears this out.

Trail maintenance was covered by volunteer labour and voluntary � nancial contributions by society mem-bers. When I think of the costs associated with modern concepts of athletic workouts, organized team sports, and competitive displays, I feel that our communal ef-forts provided a pretty good return for the buck.

Waldie Island Trail, which was my � rst trail project, is currently being impacted by the same hard-nosed and insensitive approach. � e construction of the service road around the lower lagoons has greatly compromised the trail and especially the Waldie Mill Viewpoint. It could have been built around this key viewpoint by widening the existing road on the berm to a point a lit-tle further downstream and then ramping the new road down gradually along the face to where the rip-rapping was actually required. � is would have reinforced the existing dike and allowed for replacement vegetation in the space now dedicated to the road.

A potentially greater environmental problem was caused by the unfortunate timing. BC Hydro has com-menced with a three year study of the overwintering heron population in the Waldie Wetland and indica-tions are that their number is drastically decreasing (7 was the maximum number logged during this past overwintering study, compared to over 30 a few years ago). None were seen for much of this year, so we were excited to witness a possible recovery with 12 herons showing in mid-September. � at is the beginning of the aggregation phase of their overwintering cycle. � ey disappeared as soon as the work commenced.

We are blessed with many natural wonders which can be exploited by a sensitive approach, keys to which are vision, education, and a pinch of common sense.

Walter Volovsek,Castlegar.

Editor’s Note: Last week a version of this letter ran in the Caslegar News. However, large portions of the letter had been edited out.

Letters

Path called a waste of money

Sam Philips didn’t like Elvis’ singing voice initial-ly. Perhaps it had to do with Elvis recording slower songs like “My Happiness.” At any

rate, Philips did not like any of the tunes the Bill Black group tried out, but a� er the session, Elvis was fooling around with the group and singing blues songs he had learned on his own.

One song in particular

caught Philips’ attention: El-vis’s upbeat version of “� at’s All Right, Mama,” and the rest is musical history.

It was interesting to stand in the tiny studio where the Million Dollar Quartet had its jam session on that

famous night in 1956. � e microphone was there, and the piano was there. All that was missing were the four rock and rollers — and the only one still alive is Jerry Lee Lewis who lives not far away in Mississippi.


Rock and Roll at the Sun

At the recent community forum for civic candidates there was a new format for audience participation. In-stead of standing up to ask questions, members of the audience had to have their questions vetted for suitabil-ity by submitting them in written form. We were told that questions would not be entertained which were perceived (by whom?) to be outside the realm of civic a� airs. � e adoption of this process immediately had me asking what else this panel would be selecting out and for what reason.

� e bottom line is that everyone has the right to ask any question they wish to and it is up to the candidate to whom it is addressed to decide whether or not it is relevant, or even whether they choose to answer it. Au-

diences like to attach names to faces when questions are asked. � is is how we get to know our community.

A crucial part of public debate is to give clear direc-tion to the moderator on how to handle people who hog the microphone, take too long to ask their ques-tion, attempt to disrupt, or in any other way limit op-portunities for others to participate. � ere was no need for the organizers to sanitize and control the public’s engagement in the forum. � e issue of transparency is a vital part of the democratic process and any attempt to � lter this is a slippery slope.

Castlegar Communi-ty Complex hosted the 10th Annual Kootenay Columbia Christmas Craft Fair on the weekend and craftsman and hobbyists from across the Kootenay region set up shop.

The event showcased a large variety of goods ranging from homemade soaps to cus-tom knit hats to wooden toys and ornaments.

In total, 54 vendors took part in the show.

Be it gifts for friends, or something for yourself, this year’s craft fair was sure to have something for everyone no matter what their taste.

Although, what was per-haps the greatest aspect of the fair could not be purchased at all.

The people behind the crafts were every bit as inter-esting and unique as the prod-ucts themselves.

Every table approached brought up a new story and a chance to connect with a member of the community.

Terry Weiss, owner of Doo-dlebug Chocolates was eager to share her success story with those willing to listen.

“Fourteen years ago I lost my job in the oil fields,” Weiss said, “and when I came home, I needed to make myself a job I could depend on.”

Through hard work and de-termination she has managed to open up 14 stores, create 26 different varieties of choc-

olates and is proud to now be able to bring her passion to the Kootenays through fairs such as this one.

Across the room — sur-rounded by wooden toys and birch decorations — Iris Gra-ham and Terry Dods spent their day entertaining children and adults alike.

The two retirees’ booth consisted of small cars, large animals and everything in between, all skillfully crafted from wood by Dods himself.

“It’s all done as a hobby,” Graham said, “as long as you cover your cost it’s fun. We like the fairs because anything else

might get too big and it just would not be as fun anymore.”

Next door to these hob-byists, craft veterans Shawn Melenka and Bob Warning manned their homemade soap and glass works stand.

This couple has been at-tending the fair for more than 15 years, while it was still the Blueberry Craft Fair and still love it every year.

“You get to know all the crafters and it’s a really neat fair,” Melenka said.

“Bottom line is life is fun, and if I’m not having fun I’m not doing it,” she added, “and this fair is so much fun.”

In response to concerns over the roll-out of FortisBC’s wireless Smart Meter(SM) program, Alex Atamanenko MP will be co-hosting a public forum in the Slocan Valley with organizer/educator Daphne Fields to discuss:

Government response to health and social concerns Options for those who do not want the microwave radiation

emissions from this technology in their homes How to help those who cannot afford the extra charges for

opting out of the SM program The economic advantage and possibilities of whole

communities opting-out to create “Smart Meter Free Zones”

( a little N. of Winlaw at 5897 Hwy 6)

Retired Ontario Naturopath Sees amazing changes in patients

who clean-up electro-environment!

Will tell of his long and ongoing battle in Silverton against BC Hydro's Smart Meter program

Your hosts: Alex Atamanenko MP & Daphne Fields

Almost one year has passed since FortisBC teamed up with REALice and 10 B.C. cities, including Castlegar, in an attempt to reduce energy consumption by ice hockey arenas.

And in Castlegar the proj-ect is being considered a suc-cess.

In fact, it is so energy e� -cient that the Castlegar and District Community Com-plex ice rink decided to keep the REALice system a� er the pilot project had ended.

Grace Pickell, FortisBC communications advisor says that this new technology has helped the arena cut its annu-al gas use by 520 gigajoules. � is is equivalent to the ener-gy needed to heat about � ve homes per year.

In addition to the natural gas savings, the arena man-aged to reduce electricity consumption by 28,500 kilo-watt hours.

Manager of Recreation for the Castlegar and Dis-trict Recreation Department (CDRD), Jim Crockett, says the REALice program has helped save a lot of money.

“It allows us to run the ice at a higher temperature in the arena and we can run cold water to make the ice, so we’re saving on both ends.”

Crockett estimates the

savings on utility costs to be around $7,000, before factor-ing in the reduced mainte-nance and upkeep costs.

Perhaps the greatest, most immediate payo� was from the pilot project itself.

“We were fortunate to be on the pilot program because the installation and equip-ment was free,” Crockett adds.

Having to pay for the RE-ALice system would have re-sulted in a four year payback period.

While saving energy and money are great reasons to implement REALice they’re not the only ones.

According to Crockett, the new ice provides a smooth-er surface and allows faster movement for the puck and players as well.

� e pilot project, which started in December 2013 and continued through Jan-uary 2014, introduced a new way of making arti� cial ice.

Traditionally, an ice rink is made by heating up water — to remove any bubbles and impurities — and then pouring the water into the rink and cooling it. All of the heating and cooling requires a large amount of energy. Vector tech, the idea behind REALice, allows rinks to be created and maintained with-out this process.

Instead of being heated, the water is actually spun around, similar to how a tor-nado works.

By spinning the water all the impurities are forced out and you’re le� with water that not only makes harder, higher quality ice, but is also much more energy e� cient.

With the pilot being such a success and many of the par-ticipants fully adopting the REALice technology, Pickell is hopeful that more arenas will adopt it in the future.

She estimates that if every arena in B.C. — approxi-mately 183 — were to adopt REALice the savings on natu-ral gas would end up around 60,000 gigajoules.

A cold standoff

Interfor invests in mill$50 million for the construction in Castlegar

On November 6 Interfor announced its plans to invest $50 million in state-of-the-art technology for their saw-mill operation in Castlegar.

Interfor said this invest-ment is the latest in a series of proactive decisions towards building value for their cus-tomers and positioning In-terfor for future success.

The project will convert the mill into a two-line op-

eration from three lines, as well as increase production capacity to 210 million board feet from its current level of 185 million board feet.

This investment aims to significantly improve lumber recovery, productivity and grade out-turns at the fa-cility, and lower conversion costs.

Mayor Lawrence Chernoff and city council are very en-thusiastic about the project.

“We welcome Interfor’s decision to invest so heavi-

ly in the Castlegar Interfor mill,” said Chernoff, “We are very glad that a major em-ployer in our community has recognized the investment potential of its facility in our community.”

Construction will begin this month, and is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2016.

Interfor has stated that there will be some downtime during construction but no customer supply or service disruptions at any point.

� e man whose assas-sination sparked the First World War was unim-pressed with ru� ans he encountered on a voyage down the Arrow Lakes and Columbia River.

Archduke Franz Ferdi-nand of Austria, whose sudden death in Sarajevo in 1914 plunged Europe into a deadly four-year con� ict, made a world tour in 1892-93 that took him to India, Australia, Japan, the US, and Canada.

His two-volume travel-ogue was published in Ger-man in 1896 as Tagebuch Meiner Reise um die Erde (Diary of My Trip Around the World), but has never been translated into En-glish until now. An on-line project at franzferdi-nandsworld.com has been posting one entry per day, corresponding to the date of his original journey. His brief visit to West Kootenay occurred 121 years ago.

� e archduke arrived in Vancouver from Japan on September 5, 1893 and de-parted two days later for Ban� . He then backtracked to Penticton, and reached Revelstoke late on the eve-ning on the 17th, where his party le� its wagons and boarded the Columbia and Kootenay Steam Nav-igation Company’s steam-er Columbia, en route for Northport, Wash.

He noted the ship could accommodate 100 � rst class passengers, but de-spite being launched only two years earlier, “it seems to be quite old and in need of repairs, as everywhere it was posted that the life-belts were to be found un-der the beds in each cabin. In my cabin I discovered that I could look through yawning gaps in the ship’s side while it directly rained through the deck on the

bed of one of the other gentlemen.”

At 4 a.m. the follow-ing day, “Noise, rumbling and the whiny howls of the steamer’s whistle” an-nounced the boat’s depar-ture. Ferdinand admired “the skill and audacity” of the captain who drove his “hard-to-steer ship” at full speed through the narrow valley.

But again he mentioned the “numerous life-belts” which were “apparently deemed su� cient for all eventualities as it is well known that human lives do not count for all that much in America.”

� e ship passed by a for-est that had su� ered a � re, and then came upon an area that had been spared but where a railway was planned, “thus putting an end to the splendid forest.”

Ferdinand noted this part of B.C. was “one of the least known and explored parts” of North America by Europeans. Most new residents were prospectors

who panned for gold and combed the mountains for minerals, although there were also farmers, for whom the ship was trans-porting a plow.

At some point, the steamer dropped a group of prospectors o� in the middle of nowhere. Fer-dinand wasn’t sorry to see them go.

“One can … imag-ine without di� culty the strange company assem-bled on board. Ugly and rough fellows were milling around on deck and in the salons in threadbare torn clothes with large hats on their heads and a revolv-er near their hands. � is gave us the opportunity to acquaint ourselves already here with the American ruthlessness. Everywhere these fellows were lounging around, putting their feet upon couches and chairs, spitting everywhere and taking possession of books that had been le� for just a moment in the salon.”

Ferdinand noted only one settlement along the way, which “owes its exis-tence to a silver mine that had been opened in the Selkirk Range and is said to be quite rich.” � is might have been Nakusp or Trail. Castlegar didn’t yet exist.

He continued: “In this settlement that consisted of multiple small log huts with the inescapable shop and a steam saw we saw all workers united at the land-ing pier as it just was pay day for which our steamer brought the money.”

Ferdinand complained that loading wood into the ship’s boiler ”seemed to go on forever.” Logs were stacked at the forest’s edge, and the ship landed in the mud nearby so the crew could retrieve them.

A dense fog that morn-ing prevented a clear view of the river and it start-ed to rain that a� ernoon,

turning so bitterly cold that Ferdinand had to huddle in the salon with the “spitting sons of the wilderness.”

Fortunately for him, an American woman “who was by the way very pretty had su� cient mercy with us and permitted us to smoke for which we were greatly thankful.”

Did his fellow passen-gers realize who Ferdinand was? Possibly not, as his head chamberlain, Count Wumbrand, wrote in a telegram that they were “Traveling in strict incog-nito.”

We know one other per-son on that voyage was W.A. Jowett, as the Nelson Miner reported the min-ing man went down river with the ”Crown prince of Austria.” � e newspaper also related something that supposedly occurred on board the ship at lunch-time: Ferdinand’s entou-rage was standing behind their chairs, waiting for him to seat himself, when the steward, surprised at their modesty, exclaimed “Sit down! Sit down! Any-where you like.”

It’s unclear where the steamer tied up for the night, but it crossed the international boundary at about 10 a.m. the next day and a few minutes later landed at the North-port wharf, where Ferdi-nand’s party was whisked to a special train bound for Spokane. According to the Spokane Daily Chroni-cle, “It took nearly half an hour to crowd the load of trunks, satchels and bun-dles into the baggage car.”

Ferdinand continued on his way, gazing through the window at the trees and villages along the way, and chatting with his compan-ions, blissfully unaware his name would become inex-tricably linked with one of the worst con� icts of the 20th century.

A PASSIONATE AND PROVEN LEADER THAT GETS THE JOB DONE

CHERNOFF, LAWRENCECHERNOFF, LAWRENCERE-ELECT MAYORCHERNOFF, LAWRENCECHERNOFF, LAWRENCE✔


Only one person showed up to a Big Brothers/Big Sisters (BBBS) information meeting held at Twin Rivers elementary school. The event was presented by BBBS Cranbrook.

Hosted by Mentoring Coor-dinators Carly Eldred and Tay-lor Miller, the session aimed to spread information and gather support for an in-school mentor-ing program.

While the presentation given by these two young ladies was informative and well put togeth-er, the lack of participants was troubling.

Eldred was disappointed by the turnout, and a little sur-prised, due to a feasibility study conducted from Fall 2012 to ear-ly 2013 showing significant inter-est within the Castlegar area.

“We know there is interest in Castlegar, it’s just a matter of get-ting those interested to come out and participate,” Eldred said.

Eldred believes kids and men-tors alike can benefit from such a program and has been organiz-ing since May, so she isn’t about to give up any time soon.

For Eldred and Miller it now comes down to brainstorming more recruitment strategies and hopefully having another meet-ing in the near future.

“The sky is really the limit with this. It all depends on communi-

ty involvement,” Eldred added.In addition, if the Twin Rivers

Elementary project is a success, BBBS would like to expand to Stanley Humphries Secondary school with a teen mentoring program.

BBBS provides children and young people with a friend and role model to talk to and share the experiences of growing up.

The in-school mentoring differs slightly from their reg-ular programs as it only takes place one hour a week during the school year instead of year round.

During this one hour period the volunteer mentors will re-main on school grounds and en-gage in various activities ranging from sports, crafts or just hang-ing out on the playground.

“It’s not a big time commit-ment with no payment to sign up and the integration process is very quick,” Eldred said.

The whole operation is very se-cure, with a full screening done by BBBS to ensure the applicants are suitable to work with the children.

Once child and mentor are matched up they both undergo safety training to further ensure success.

For those who are 19 years of age or older and want to get involved, they can reach El-dred at (250) 489-3111 or email [email protected]

Fallin’ to Pieces Pot Roast With Carrots and Potatoes

Ingredients • 4 -5 lbs beef roast (cut of your choice)

• 1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope onion soup mix

• 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon Accent seasoning (optional)

• 1 teaspoon salt, to taste

• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, to taste

• 8 ounces washed peeled baby carrots

• 5 medium russet potatoes

• 1 medium yellow onion

• 1 1/2-2 cups hot water

• 1 beef bouillon cube

Directions 1. *prep time does not include time in frig to marinate, which is optional*.2. In a small bowl, combine onion soup mix, garlic powder, and Accent into one uniform dry mixture.3. Rinse roast with water and pat dry. Rub all surfaces of the meat with the dry spice mixture.4. Stab the spice mixture into the beef using a penetrating meat tenderizer tool or the tines of a fork, puncturing many times over all surfaces of the meat. This step is important. Use any remaining dry spice mixture to rub over the meat again.5. Wrap the meat tightly in saran wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours. (optional -- you can skip this step and put it right in the slow cooker if you want, and it will still taste fantastic).6. Slice the onion into thin slivers. Put 1/3 of the onion slivers into the bottom of a slow cooker or crock pot.7. Place the seasoned beef on top of the onions, in the center of the slow cooker.8. Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut into large chunks and put into slow cooker along with the carrots and remainder of the onion. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper to suit your taste.9. Dissolve a beef bouillon cube in 1 1/2 to 2 cups hot water and pour over the vegetables, surrounding the meat(you want about 2 or 3 inches of water in the bottom of the slow cooker- this will make a great tasting ‘au jus’).10. Cook on medium high heat in slow cooker for first two hours, then reduce heat to low-medium for an additional three hours. 5 hours cooking time usually does the trick for me, but 6 hours is fine too!11. **Key: If it ain’t fallin’ apart, it’s not ready yet! You should not even be able to slice this -- the servings are literally pulled apart with a fork straight to the plate.**

Selkirk College has entered a partnership with leading post-secondary institutions from around the world in a project that aims to enhance prosperity in rural regions.

Brandon University was re-cently awarded a seven-year $2.5 million grant from the federal government’s Social Sciences and Humanities Re-search Council (SSHRC) to lead the project. The funds will be used to support rural policy innovations by creat-ing the Rural Policy Learning Commons (RPLC) which will bring together multiple stake-holders around the themes of human capital and migration, natural resources, governance and infrastructure.

Heading up the Selkirk College component of the project is Dr. Terri MacDon-ald, regional innovation chair at Selkirk’s Columbia Basin Rural Development Institute (RDI).

The RDI is a regional re-search centre with a mandate to support informed deci-sion-making by Columbia Basin-Boundary communi-ties through the provision of information, applied research and related outreach exten-sion and support.

“This project fits in well with our goals,” says Mac-Donald. “Having the oppor-tunity to work with all these great thinkers to come up with policy innovations that move rural Canada and our Basin-Boundary commu-nities forward is important work. This project is also important as it will help us to build our internal applied research capacity and elevate Selkirk College on the inter-national stage in the eyes of fellow researchers and federal research funders like SSHRC.”

The aim of the RPLC will be to enhance Canadian pros-perity by identifying and ana-lyzing policy options relevant to rural and northern places. These options will be evaluat-ed in the context of national and international policy in-novations. The end goal is to build leadership capacity among rural and northern re-searchers, policy makers and practitioners.

“We are very excited to be working with institutions like Selkirk College since they are frontline contributors to edu-cation and innovation in rural and remote places,” says proj-ect director Bill Reimer, who is based out of Brandon Uni-

versity. “The partnership will facilitate collaboration among a wide range of educators, re-searchers, policy-makers and community members — just the sort of mix that is neces-sary to meet the complexity and opportunities of rural places.”

Selkirk College welcomes the opportunity to be in-volved.

“This is an important proj-ect for rural Canada,” says Rhys Andrews, dean of ap-plied research at Selkirk Col-lege. “We are very fortunate to be part of a learning com-mons that will shed more light on some of the challeng-es faced outside urban centres and to explore innovations that could benefit the com-munities we serve.”

MacDonald and fellow researchers at the RDI will work with project research-ers in ways that advance the research priorities of the re-gion by sharing international research with regional com-munities, connecting local students with research and learning opportunities, and engaging communities in dis-cussions on the nature and process of rural-related policy development.

The Selkirk College component of the Rural Policy Learning Commons will be coordinated by Dr. Terri MacDonald (left), Regional Innovation Chair at Selkirk’s Columbia Basin Rural Development Institute and Rhys Andrews (right), Dean of Applied Research at Selkirk College.

The Castlegar Rebels came back undefeated from a short, two-game road trip on the week-end.

On Friday, the local squad travelled to Sica-mous to battle the Eagles and came out on the right side of a 4-3 decision.

Despite being outshot 43 to 30 and entering the third period down 3-1 the Rebels battled hard to come back and win one on the road.

Sicamous opened the scoring, popping in two goals in the first period. However, early in the second frame, the Rebels’ Dylan Bowerman scored on the powerplay to cut the lead to 2-1.

It looked bad for the Castlegar squad early in the third as Sicamous restored the two goal lead when Carter Hansen put the puck past netminder Austin Wells.

But it was all Castlegar after that. A third pe-riod goal by Darren Medeiros and two by Jere-my McNeil gave the locals a much needed come from behind victory.

The next night, the Rebels carried that mo-mentum into Chase to take on the Heat.

Again the two squads were evenly matched, but Castlegar had just a little more firepower,

winning the game 5-4 in double overtime.Bryan Lubin opened the scoring for Castle-

gar in the first, a goal that foreshadowed an ex-citing finish.

Lindan Calliou scored another for the Rebels to give the visitors a 2-0 lead after one.

In the second, Chase turned on the heat. Three straight goals gave to home squad a 3-2 advantage after two.

Castlegar refused to say die as Darren Me-deiros scored to tie the game at three in the third.

The Heat regained the lead before Mike Bha-toa scored to send the contest into overtime.

It took two overtime sessions before Lubin would end it on a goal, assisted by Rebels goal-tender Patrick Zubick.

Zubick stopped 46 of the 50 shots he faced in the contest.

Castlegar’s next game is a home contest on Friday, November 14 when the Kamloops Storm come to play. The puck drops at 7 p.m..

The next night, the Rebels play host to the Nelson Leafs. That game also begins at 7 p.m..

After an impressive home weekend where they took four points against rival Simon Fraser University, the Sel-kirk College Saints men’s hockey team is heading west looking to build on a four game winning streak.

After a slow start to the British Co-lumbia Intercollegiate Hockey League (BCIHL) season, the two-time defend-ing champions have made a statement over the last few weeks that they will be in the mix for a third straight title.

“We have turned a corner the last few weeks not only in games but in practices,” says Saints head coach

Alex Evin. “We are hoping to continue moving forward game by game.”

After starting the 2014-15 regular season with four straight losses on the road, any doubt the Saints could legit-imately vie for a three-peat should be all but gone after a pair convincing vic-tories over a powerhouse Simon Fraser University Clan at the Castlegar Rec-reation Complex.

On Saturday night at the complex, Saints’ rookie Ryan Edwards capped off a three goal third period in fitting fashion with a short-handed marker into an empty net as the Clan tried

desperately to gain ground during a 6-on-4 powerplay. It was the same story all period and most of the game as the Saints put together one of their best complete outings of the season to stymie the Clan and bounce to a 5-2 final.

Earlier in the period, the Saints took hold of an otherwise very even high tempo match as Logan Proulx and Ste-ven Pantazopoulos, both finished off beautiful passing plays to break a 2-2 tie.

PUBLIC NOTICE RE CUPE STRIKEThe City wishes to advise Castlegar residents City facilites will remain open and City non-union staff will endeavor to provide prompt service to residents, businesses and visitors during the current labour strike. Your understanding and patience is appreciated. Please check our website regularly for public service and bargaining updates.

What’s Going On?

The City has bargained in good faith for over a year and a half in over a dozen bargaining sessions and twice with anindependent Mediator as requested by the Union. The City accepted fair and respectful recommendations from themediator of a 6.14% wage increase over 4 years, no concessions and superior bene� ts in the municipal sector. TheCity agreed to this fair and reasonable proposal but the Union rejected it and proceeded to strike action.

Union Wants More

Unions says they want job security.

A job at the City of Castlegar is one of the most secure jobs around. We haven’t laid off a regular full-time employee in over twenty years.

Union says the City is undermining the Union’s ability to represent their members.

The City has offered to pay up to ten hours a month for union stewards to investigate possible grievances. The union wants the City to pay for unlimited union investigations. The City says the Union can investigate beyond the ten hours a month but on their dime. This is in line with limits set at neighbouring municipalities.

Union says it is concerned with management doing bargaining unit work.

Management does not seek to do bargaining unit work, since it is not economical or practical to use higher paid managers to do unionized work. The City agreed to the mediator reading a binding commitment from management into the bargaining record that no unionized employee would lose an hour of regular work to management.

Non-Strike Related Complaints

Contracting outFACT: The Union did not raise this issue at any point during bargaining and therefore this issue will not be affected by the outcome of this strike.

Too many managers.FACT: The union did not raise this issue at any point during bargaining and therefore this issue will not be affected by the outcome of this strike. The City’s total staff is a third less than Trail and about half the size of Nelson.

Dear Miss Sensibility,I live in a rental apartment here in town (actually a quad-plex) and we have been having trouble with the gutters leaking. I think they need to be cleaned as they have not been done in the entire time I have lived here (over a year). My landlady lives in Vancouver and whenever I phone her to complain about the leaking or ask for the gutters to be cleaned, she just says that she has no money or that her budget has been used for the year. Isn’t her responsibility as a landlord to keep the building space up-to-snuff? What can I do about this? -Wet tenant

Dear Wet Tenant,Unfortunately, dealing with an absentee landlord can be very frustrating at times. Since I am not quali� ed to give expert legal advice, you will have to settle for what I gleaned from the British Columbia Residential Policy Guideline. The landlord and tenant responsibilities section states, “The Landlord is responsible for ensuring that rental units and property meet “health, safety and housing standards” established by law....The landlord is generally responsible for major projects, such as tree cutting, pruning and insect control.” It goes on to say, “Gen-erally the tenant is responsible for routine yard maintenance, which includes cutting grass, clearing snow.”

If you feel that clogged gutters fall in the category of failure to meet health and safety standards, you could approach your landlord on those grounds. However, it will probably be hard to convince her that it does as she has shown by her ac-tions that she does not think it is a necessity. She will probably feel that cleaning the gutters falls under the category of yard maintenance as it is usually leaves that clog gutters and leaf raking falls under tenant responsibilities. If a repair is needed, that would fall under the landlords responsibility.

If you are physically able, it is probably worthwhile to contact her one more time and offer to do the work yourself and deduct an amount equivalent to your labour from your rent. If she does not agree to that, you will have to decide if a job that only takes a few hours is worth � ghting over and if you want to remain soggy until it

Sensibly yours,

Selkirk take four points from SFUStreak hits four gamesThe Selkirk College Saints have been busy on and off the ice lately. While putting together a four-game home winning streak, players have managed to take time to get involved in the community in a number of ways. Last week the Saints took on the local Special Olympics crew in a game of floor hockey.

It was back and forth hard hitting action in the opening periods, spilling over from an-other entertaining match the night before. Selkirk’s Jackson Garrett and Proulx scored for the home team while Saylor Preston and Trent Murdoch notched markers for the visi-tors.

Rookie netminder Steven Glass was solid in net and earned his first BCIHL win making 22 saves.

In Friday’s tilt the Saints took advantage of some SFU bus legs by tallying four times in the first period. Goals for Selkirk came from Jesse Knowler, Stefan Gonzales,

Alex Milligan and Garrett. James Prigione notched the

win after the Clan could only solve him twice in 37 shots over the rest of the game. The final score was 4-2 Saints.

Both wins came at a crit-ical time in the young BCI-HL season. Only three points separate last place and first, which Selkirk now holds in a tie along with Trinity Western University and University of Victoria.

This weekend the Saints will be looking to build on its win-ning streak with games against Trinity Western and a rematch with Simon Fraser.

“We are still looking for our first road win this season,” says Evin. “It’s tough to win on

the road in this league and I know that we’ve learned a lot from the previous two trips to Trinity Western and SFU. TWU has one of the top goal-tenders in our league and we need to be at our best to make sure the game is not easy for him.”

After the western roadtrip the Saints will get a week-end of rest from games, but the team will be busy helping with the Selkirk College Gala 2014 at Nelson’s Mary Hall on the Tenth Street Campus. The team is running the silent auction portion of the evening with all proceeds going to the Saints. Tickets for the Gala are $70 and can be purchased by calling (250) 365-1360.

Sixty years have passed since a film Salt of the Earth was shown at Castlegar’s Cas-tle Theatre, and on Sunday, November 16 at 2 p.m. it will be making a return.

Salt of the Earth is a con-troversial film created in 1954 based on the 1951 strike against the Empire Zinc Company in Grant County, New Mexico.

The film was blacklisted upon release for allegedly having ties to communism and only appeared in roughly a dozen theatres in the United States.

At the time of the film’s release, McCarthyism — the practice of making accu-sations of disloyalty, sub-version, or treason without proper regard for evidence — was slowly spreading into Canada.

In a show of resistance to this way of thinking, Trail’s Local 480 group requested that local theatres have show-ings of the film.

The Castle Theatre was the only venue to agree.

The film was shown five times to over 900 people.

Now, after all these years, writer, photographer and la-bour historian Ron Verzuh is bringing this piece of Koote-nay history back for another

screening.Having been born in Trail

himself, Verzuh is very pas-sionate about this opportu-nity.

“It’s exciting to me as a his-torian because my home area had something to do with it,” Verzuh said.

“Back then, things were getting to the point where if you had a different view than the status quo you were ham-mered hard.”

The film itself was not ac-tually communist propagan-da as the government at the time would have had people believe.

Salt of the Earth centres on Mexican-American min-ers and their families as they strike against the Empire Zinc Company — named Delaware Zinc in the film — for equal wages with Cauca-sian workers in other mines and respect from their bosses.

Verzuh explained that the film was also an early starting point for the womens’ rights movement.

“During the strike the women picketed because the men were told they would be jailed for doing so,” Verzuh said.

While the woman were still held responsible for picket-ing and actions were taken against them it was a large step forward for women at

the time.The miners ended up win-

ning their strike against the Zinc Company and thus in-spired the film.

Verzuh has been in con-tact with some of the miners and women involved with the strike and he said they are thrilled to hear that their sto-ry is being told again to a new generation.

“[The strike] has drifted away and kind of been forgot-ten about. But it’s nice to look back and remember that this is how things once were,” Ver-zuh added.

Verzuh will be at the screening with cameras of his own, documenting the event, and he hopes to get a good sized crowd and for people to enjoy this historic film.

Holly Pender-Love, co-di-rector of the British Columbia/Yukon Region of the Canadian Peony Society has learned that the Station Garden Museum is to be the recipient of the rare and beautiful Adrienne Clark-son Peony.

The Adrienne Clarkson Peo-ny is a single, white peony with a yellow centre, the translucent white petals are of exquisite beauty. Adrienne Clarkson was a supporter of the Canadian Peony Society and during her tenure as Governor General of Canada the society had several peony shows at Rideau Hall in Ottawa.

The public is encouraged to stay tuned for the arrival of this very special peony. Organizers are planning a planting ceremo-ny with local dignitaries at the Station Garden Museum.

Local member, Adriana Work donated several peony root divi-sions last fall to the Station Gar-den to augment their peony dis-play. The Castlegar Garden Club and Communities in Bloom members donate their time to the upkeep and maintenance of this lovely, downtown garden. The Garden Club has their very successful plant sale at the Sta-tion Garden Museum early May each year.

Peony Show:Castlegar is to be the venue

for a Peony Show that is being

co-sponsored by the Canadian Peony Society, Castlegar Garden Club and Castlegar Communi-ties in Bloom.

This show will be held at the Sandman Inn in Castlegar on June 28, 2015 as one of the ven-ues of the Castlegar Garden Tour and will be open to the public.

The Castlegar Peony Show will be a judged show awarding ribbons in a number of catego-ries and will be judged by Carol and Jim Adelman of Salem, Or-egon. Carol Adelman is pres-ident of the Pacific Northwest Peony Society and is a director of the American Peony Society and a member of the Canadi-an Peony Society. She is very active in peony circles world-wide and “we are very lucky to get her to judge this show,” said show chair Pender-Love.

“We are so pleased with the positive comments we are get-ting from local gardeners and residents of the region,” ex-plained Pender-Love.

“Castlegar is definitely a can- do city. It will be a feather in our cap for securing this show in our small city,” said Darlene Kalawsky.

Kalawsky is the treasurer and advertising chair of the Cas-tlegar Peony Show 2015 Com-mittee that has been organizing this event. Other committee members are: Adriana Work, vice-president, Arlene Chapman

and Connie Smith — organizers of the luncheon and presenta-tion June 27 Janette Dascent, chair of the decorating commit-tee and Carolyn McKinnon, lo-cal peony enthusiast.

There will be both amateur and professional entries in the flower arranging category in this show as well as entries from around the country, possibly as far away as Ontario and the Pa-cific Northwest states.

“Our focus is on local bloom entries,” said Pender-Love. “We want to showcase the beautiful peonies local gardeners have growing in their yards.”

Carol Adelman has agreed to give a presentation, Growing and Caring for Peonies, at the luncheon. The luncheon and presentation will be held at the Castlegar Community Complex, and tickets must be purchased in advance of this event.

The Castlegar Peony Show 2015 Committee would like lo-cal gardeners, florists, and grow-ers to enter blooms in the show. There are categories for every-one!

Blooms will be accepted on Friday night, June 26 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m and again on Sat-urday morning, June 27 from 7

a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Sandman Inn on Columbia Avenue in Castlegar. Please email ques-tions to Adriana Work at [email protected].

For more information on entering blooms, accommo-dations, tickets for luncheon presentation, or to volunteer, contact Holly Pender-Love at [email protected] or (250) 368-6228 and or Adriana Work [email protected] or (250) 359-7142, or check for updates on her Dutch Girl Peonies web-site at peonyfarm.ca.

REVIEW BY FIONA DRAYTON� is recently published novel is by a Rossland author, and is a great read. My impressions on the � rst few pages were how well Ms Ellis writes, and I was very quickly drawn in by the plot. Several families have established a communal farm in B.C. following total global economic collapse. Not only is survival a constant concern, but the land is without law and they must protect their farm against raiders who are desperate for food and are willing to kill to get it.� e leader of the farm is a powerful politician named Richard who is charming and intelligent, but also aggressive, egotistical, and ruthless. His wife Natalie becomes increasingly disenchanted with his ideas. She is drawn to Richard’s brother, Daniel, and the feeling is mutual.As the reader, I found myself continually (and usually incorrectly) trying to predict what would happen next. Not only are the adventures exciting, but this is an interesting study of the themes of good versus evil, and of loyalty versus desire. It is also a study of the intricacies of interpersonal relationships.

I would highly recommend this book.

March 4, 1931 - October 2, 2014

A man of few words, but actions that spoke volumes. He gave his family a lifetime of caring and love.

He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Sophie (Kozycki) sons Michael, (Adisai), Daniel (Faith), daughter Helen Marie Secco. Two grandchildren, Marisa Janicki, Andy Janicki (Amanda), great grandchildren Dylan and Brooklyn. His only brother Cass (Shirley), nephew John, niece Debbie and family. Predeceased by his parents and nephew Ray.

Walter was born to Frank and Annie Janicki in Kenora, Ont. where he attended school before leaving for a small company pulp mill town of Terrace Bay, Ont. on the tip of Lake Superior. � ere he got his millwright certi� cate and brought his new bride Sophie from Kenora.

In 1960 they moved to Castlegar, B.C. to a new pulp mill where they lived for 50 years. A recurring back problem and three surgeries forced him to retire. � e following years were spent between Christina Lake and Arizona, until the worsening back forced him into a lovely, new care facility in Grand Forks. Although the care home was lovely and the sta� excellent, he wanted to be in his cozy, little log home at Christina Lake.

He loved woodworking and was always looking for a project.

A good man has left us, but never, ever forgotten.A celebration of life will be held at the cabin in the spring.

� e family thanks everyone for the calls and cards.

It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our Mom, Mable Allan, on � ursday, October 30, 2014. Mom was 76 years old. � e youngest of 4 children, Mom was born at home in Pass Creek on December 11, 1937. She grew up on a farm with no electricity, running water or phone, a coal stove for cooking and heating, and a bathroom outside. Mom always loved to crochet and embroider; and this she learned by the light of a coal oil lamp. As a teen, during the summers she worked in Creston picking strawberries and raspberries, or would go to Summerland to work in a cannery processing fruits and vegetables, where she got to meet a lot of friends her own age.

In her late teens, Mom went to visit her older sister, Mary, in Vancouver, got a job and ended up staying 5 years. She loved Vancouver! Mom’s friend, Tilly, was the singer in a band so Mom went along with her to di� erent gigs and sang with her at times. � e band was hired to play at the Scooner Club on the Airforce Base in Richmond, and this is where she met our Dad, Bill, a tri-service man who was in charge of hiring entertainment for the club. Mom and Dad were married in April 1961 and moved to Castlegar in 1962. � ey welcomed us, their 3 daughters, in the years to follow.

In 1973 Mom and Dad went to visit some close friends who had moved to Elkford. � e road into Elkford was all washboard and Mom told Dad, “I will never live here.” Six months later, Dad was hired by Fording, so they packed us up and moved into what would be their home for 22 years.

Mom worked at the Elkford Post O� ce for 17 years and in 1995 she and Dad moved to Cranbrook to retire. � ey were so happy to live in Cranbrook where there are four seasons and much milder weather than the Valley.

During her retirement, Mom enjoyed decorating her home, crocheting, embroidery, sewing, crafts, shopping, travelling, and entertaining. Mom was country music’s biggest fan (there was no one greater than George Jones) and went to concerts as often as she could! More than anything though, Mom lived for her family; she enjoyed spending as much time as she could with all of us. “Baba’s” house was a second home for all of her grandchildren, whether it was having them come live with her while attending college, or just being a place to stop by while on a bike ride. Her door was always open and she would welcome anyone with open arms.

She taught her grandkids to do things for themselves like cooking and sewing, and always did everything she could for them. She could be counted on at the drop of a hat to do anything her girls needed. She looked after our kids, babysat pets & houses, made countless family dinners (making enough to feed an army so we could all take home leftovers), acted as a substitute taxi service, was always there to listen, to laugh with, to cry with, to travel with, and to give advice if needed. Mom carried many burdens in her lifetime but she always did the best she could. She showed us what it means to be strong and independent, she taught us to be kind and to always do the right thing – she was our rock and our glue.

Left to cherish her memory are her broken hearted family: Lynda Lindley (Kelly, Keuran & Hailey, Dion), Cindy Armstrong (Aaron, Kade, Darrien, Presley), Diedre Kilback (Calvin, Alyssa, Keian), and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins. Mom was predeceased by her Mom and Dad, Alexander and Helen, brothers, Bill and Sam, sister, Mary, and husband, (our Dad) Bill.

A private service was held Tuesday, November 4, 2014.
