On a very drizzly Sunday, November 2, 61 people attend-ed the Kiss-Off Cancer Cook-Off 2014. After a Halloween candy binge, this event was an opportunity to try out some incredibly healthy, can-cer-preventative foods. This year, the $30 entry gave you an

opportunity to try all of the 21 community entry dishes along with mini-meals provided by the celebrity chefs of local restaurants: Alpine Grind, Gabriella’s Restaurant and Ying Café.

Along with the slate of chefs, the Kiss-Off Cancer Cook-Off recruited four celebrity judges to critique not only the taste and presentation of the food,

but to review the lists of ingre-dients and judge them on their creative use of anti-cancer in-gredients. The judges for the evening were Christine Dero-sa, Foods, Socials and English teacher at JL Crowe; Dawn Manning, owner of Bear Country Kitchen; Patrick Ma-loney, both a sommelier and co-owner of the newly built Kootenay Smokehouse (lo-

cated at the Slocan Junction); and Michel Valiquette, Ferraro Foods’ own cheese connois-seur and also a sommelier. The judges tasted their way through appetizers, mains and desserts and announced the following winners in each category, both for celebrity chefs and the pub-lic:

KNOW YOUR CANDIDATESLloyd McLellan Tim Thatcher

A� er a six year break from municipal politics, veteran city councillor Lloyd McLellan is seeking to re-claim his spot at the council table.

McLellan previous-ly served nine years on Rossland council. He was elected in 1996 and again in 1999. In 2002 he ran un-successfully for mayor, but then returned as a council-lor in 2005. He retired his seat in 2008, expecting he was � nished with politics.

But a� er seeing the changes that have occurred at City Hall since he le� , he’d like to get back to the table and help get Rossland back on the right track.

“It’s no use sitting on the sidelines and complain-ing,” he says. “I’d rather go in there and see if I can get things going back in the right direction.”

� ough McLellan is 76 years old, he says he still has lots of energy and feels great, aside from a recent knee replacement that has him walking with a tempo-rary limp.

“I think I still have a lot to contribute,” he says. “When I le� council, I felt we were on the cutting edge. We were the � rst to have a design review com-mittee and � rst to get into strategic planning. We had a number of very strong initiatives and a lot of good things were happening.”

Now, McLellan claims council has become more reactive and less account-able. And he’d like to change that.

“One of the � rst things

we have to do is review the delegation bylaw, with the strong possibility of rescinding it,” he says. “We also need to look at some of the polities that were repealed by the [Chief Administrative O� cer] and look at reintroducing them.”

He � rmly believes that council, not the CAO, should be making � nan-cial decisions for the city, especially given that there are some major expenses coming down the line, in-cluding infrastructure up-grades and new waste man-agement requirements.

“I have an established reputation as a hard work-er who always comes pre-pared to meetings,” McLel-lan says “I’m decisive and not afraid of being held ac-countable for the decisions I make.”

In addition to his time in council, McLellan’s community involvement includes terms on the Co-lumbia View Lodge board, Library board and Golden City Manor board. He’s a past-president of Birch-bank Golf Course and used to coach minor sports teams.

SAM VAN SCHIERossland News

Councillor Tim Thatcher is hoping to keep his seat for a second term.

First elected in 2011, Thatcher is quick to ad-mit that he and the cur-rent councillor have gotten bogged down by controversy and person-nel issues. But he’d like to be part of the group working to fix that.

“In this election we’re going to get a new may-or and at least four new councillors,” the 58-year-old notes. “That’s go-ing to bring a lot of new ideas and fresh thinking — it will be a fresh start.”

Thatcher was born and raised here in Rossland, and now has children and grandchildren liv-ing here. He works at Teck and is assistant chief of Rossland Vol-unteer Fire Department and a ski patroller at Red Mountain.

His main priority on council is keeping taxes down, and was pleased that the city had no tax increase in 2012 and 2013. (However, an in-crease was required in 2014 to pay for improve-ments to Columbia Ave-nue.)

“We need to keep our city affordable for the se-niors who have invested a lot of years and a lot of money in our town. We owe it to them to keep Rossland a place they can afford to live,” Thatcher says.

In the coming term, he’d like to direct more

attention to working with local business owners.

“We need to have a brainstorming session with all the businesses to see what we can do to keep them vibrant and what they would expect to come into town as a new business,” he says, noting he’d be willing to bring forward new poli-cies that would support business growth.

Thatcher hopes that Rosslanders will recog-nize some of the posi-tive things council has accomplished over the past term — including the Columbia Avenue improvements and sup-porting Red Mountain’s snowmaking initiative — as well his the character-istics that have made him a good councillor.

“I do my research. I read all the reports and council agendas and visit properties that are re-questing variances, so that I can participate in debate and make in-formed decisions,” he says. “I love Rossland and I always the com-munity’s best interests at heart.”

Environmental surveyVoters have a new oppor-

tunity to check out where Rossland municipal candi-dates stand on their coun-cil’s potential to move for-ward with climate change and sustainability measures.

In most parts of the world now, in every election cli-mate change and a sustain-able environment are major concerns for voters. Since it is important to find out about the environmental views of West Kootenay candidates in the November 15 municipal election, con-cerned West Kootenay citi-zens got together to survey the candidates on key ques-tions. Rossland candidates have the local version of the survey in their inboxes as we speak and their respons-es will be posted on a widely circulated website on or be-fore Wednesday November 12.

“Might they show more interest in informing voters than Castlegar candidates did?” wonders Antoinette Halberstadt, a member of the Rossland - Trail - Fruit-vale Dogwood Initiative group working on this lo-cal survey. When an ear-lier version of the survey went to candidates in Nel-son, Castlegar and the sur-rounding districts, 100 per cent of Nelson’s candidates and only 33 per cent of Cas-tlegar’s ten candidates re-sponded.

“While we understand

how busy candidates are at this time, when they choose not to complete the survey it really speaks volumes to where they are at with envi-ronmental, community and democratic values. I hope Rossland and Trail candi-dates all choose to com-plete it so the voters can see where they stand on these super important issues,” says Halberstadt.

Janet McIntrye expressed her hopes: “It’s a privilege to live in such a vibrant community as Rossland. The successful municipal election candidates will face a wide array of issues

and I hope they will use their influence during de-cision-making processes to place green solutions as their top priority.

A Trail youth said, “I’m hoping candidates reveal some real plans and actions for a more sustainable and environmentally responsi-ble region and that these are not empty promises. The health of my generation and those after me are depend-ing on it.”

For further information contact Antoinette Halber-stadt by phone: 250-608-3454, or email: [email protected]

Local citizens Janet McIntyre and Eliot Santo are some of the Dogwood Initiative team members who collaborated with members of a broad range of West Kootenay environmental groups to compose and distribute the Environmental Survey to municipal election candidates. The Dogwood Initiative’s mission is to “bring together everyday British Columbians to reclaim decision-making power over their air, land and water.” Photo by Antoinette Halberstadt

Trail resident death ruled overdoseOn October 19,

2014 in the early morning hours Trail and Greater District RCMP were called to a report of a sudden death in East Trail. A 41 year old Trail res-

ident was found de-ceased in a residence from a possible drug overdose. The BC Coroner Service have now confirmed that the male died from a fentanyl overdose. Of

note, later on the eve-ning of October 19, 2014 police were called to another male who was suffering from an apparent overdose and was taken to hospital. This male was lucky to

survive.Police are caution-

ing that fentanyl may be sold as heroin. Fen-tanyl is much stronger than heroin and can lead to accidental over-doses when consumed.

Dear Miss Sensibility,

I know we are all getting older but lately that’s seemed especially true of my parents. I just don’t know what to do. They’re too good to go into a home but they still need looking after from time to time. My life is hectic enough without having to play “Daddy” to my Mom and Dad. Do you have any advice for how to balance my own work and home life while still looking after my parents? -Parenting Parents

Dear Parenting Parents,The season of life you and your parents have entered into is not an easy season. It is dif� cult for them to see their strength and independence slipping away; and dif� cult for you to balance care giving responsibilities coming from two households. Being able to � nd the balance among all of life’s demands is the key to maintaining ones sanity. Analyzing your priorities and making sure they are in the right order will help keep things in perspective.

Certain seasons of life require some sacri� ce. When the need arises to care for aging parents, it is often the time � gure out what is really important. In order to ful� ll all of the roles you are needing to � ll, you will probably have to give up a few things that steal too much time from your schedule. Just remember, the seasons of life change frequently, and these sacri� ces are not forever.

Finding balance in life is not usually accomplished by following a prescribed for-mula. It is more like the art of the tightrope walker. Demands cause us to lean a little to the left, and then after the crisis is averted; we lean to the right to correct the imbalance. As long as we stay on the wire we survive.

Although caring for parents can be draining and frustrating, it is important to remember just how much they have done for us. They probably changed your diaper more than you will ever have to change theirs. Helping out of a grateful heart instead of out of obligation will help ease the burden of the labour. As the old saying goes, “Love lightens labour.” Sensibly yours,

Miss Sensibility

OUR VIEW

Elections are both a boon and a curse to the newsroom. Whether you are writing for a big city daily or a community newspaper, elec-tion coverage is a double-edged sword.

� e question that must always be answered is how do you decipher what is legitimate news, community news or campaign propa-ganda? You also have to ensure you are treat-ing every candidate as equal as possible.

And the candidates, as well as their sup-porters, don’t make it easy.

As part of the campaign, potential poli-ticians are everywhere. Local meetings and events that may not normally attract a huge crowd, will see attendance double as candi-dates and their promotional teams mingle, network and push their platforms.

� en there are the passive photo bomb at-tempts.

Neutral coverage is a di� cult task when everyone is either jumping into the photo op or wearing promotional buttons or carrying literature for a particular candidate.

Add to that the letters to the editor which increase in frequency and contain underlying political messages. While not written by the candidates themselves, they are frequently sent by a supporter or campaign manager.

For editors, it becomes a mine � eld of what should, and more importantly what shouldn’t, run.

� e real fear is will actual news events be missed due to an over infatuation with fair-ness?

� e fact is, incumbents have an advantage because, they are already in the public eye.

Council meetings will still get covered be-cause, simply enough, news is still news.

Media will continue to cover newsworthy events, while trying to avoid unnecessary promotion.

We remain neutral, but just as important, we remain news reporters.

Election coverage

You never know what you’re going to � nd in the back country. Two weeks ago my husband and I rode the Sev-en Summits on what seemed like a gi� of a warm October day in the sub alpine. � e Seven Summits is an epic 35 kilometre mountain trail near Rossland famous with mountain bikers and is hailed as one of the best long distance single track rides by the International Mountain Bicycling Association.

Half way through the ride we heard a group of people be-fore we � nally saw them scattered along a ridge. Upon clos-er inspection, I saw one man with a large

box camera setting up a shot just below the gentle saddle-like ridge line.

When I see a pro-fessional photog-rapher setting up a photo with a second photographer toting a camera larger than my head as a sample shooter, I pay atten-tion.

My camera, iron-ically, had pro-nounced itself crit-ically ill two days earlier with a lens er-ror so I dropped my bike and grabbed the simple point-and-shoot my husband had onside.

As I scrambled up the ridge, the pho-tographer seemed rushed to get the shot. Rather than disturb him, I simply smiled at him and asked one of his friends who

he was. It was none other than Richard Soltice from Ross-land who published a book of black and white photography called � e Light of the Gathering Storm in 2011.

I started photo-graphing them.

Some people think they could get the same shot if they were just in the same spot. And they might and they could but they usually don’t. Why? Because they are not there.

Soltice was, and so was I, but he had an impressive cam-era that looked like it weighed 40 pounds. He had hiked up a two and a half hour trail lugging the bulky beast on a fair weath-er day. His focus was a grey sun bleached

overturned stump with root pad still in-tact with a veil of scat-tered clouds against the deep blue sky that comes with higher al-titudes.

Another man came over to show me the black and white shot on his camera display. � e image was stunning. � e sample photo immediately reminded me of Ansel Adams’ photography which I have had on my walls for years. I would later learn that Soltice apparently did study under Adams. I also read that some-what of a purist, Sol-stice doesn’t digitally enhance his photos either.

I watched as Soltice ducked under the thick blanket to check the shot, then come back out to switch the

� lter/ negative again. Everything had an air of haste to it which perplexed me as from my perspective the subject seemed quite solidly rooted.

� en I saw a jet � ying from the north west heading directly for the middle of his clouds. Fast. I think I heard a curse word and Soltice speed up but he was too late. � e shot was ruined.

“� e jet stream will last longer than the clouds,” he said. “It’s done.”

� e he� y e� orts and a great photo-graphic � nd all to be ruined by a vapour trail. While people debate that planes pol-lute our atmosphere, in this moment, one jet contaminated a photographers’ vi-sion.

Reporter Alicia Wallace took to the streets to ask the public if they would be voting in the upcoming Local Government election and why or why it is/is not important to vote. It is important to note that 4 out of the 10 people surveyed said no but were not willing to have their photograph taken for the newspaper.

Are you voting in the upcoming election:

Why is it important to vote: It is important for everyone to vote and have their voice heard. My aunt was in an elec-tion once and lost by one vote, so your vote does count.

Rossland reads: debaters face-offAfter its hiatus in 2013, Ross-

land Reads is back for 2014. De-baters Aerin Guy, Mark Jeffery, Kate Harrison-Whiteside, and Liz Anderson duke it out to have their chosen book crowned Rossland Reads 2014 Champion. Week one’s debate was held on October 22 at the Rossland Art Gallery.

The night began with a brief introduction of each book — The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho and defended by Guy, Endurance by Alfred Lansing and defended by Jeffrey, Out of Africa by Isak Dinesen and defended by Har-rison-Whiteside, and Riding the Bus with my Sister by Rachel Si-mon and defended by Anderson — followed by the panelists being put on the spot immediately with a general question. For Jeffery the question was, “What will be your strategy?” His strategy for win-ning will be quite simple. “Ross-land attracts unique people and (Endurance) will appeal to peo-ple’s sense of adventure.”

Moderator Jen Ellis kept the conversation flowing, encour-aging rebuttals throughout, and came up with some interesting and intriguing questions about

this year’s theme of travel, both literal and metaphorical, not-ing how none of them are your usual travel memoir. Her intro-ductions of each panelist also revealed some intriguing talents. Liz Anderson claims the title of “all around recommender of great books”; Mark Jeffery has a book published, in Dutch; Aerin Guy owns a fart gun; and Kate’s pas-sion for boots, rubber and others, inspired the door-prize question (the number of pairs that can be found in her closet is, apparently, 20).

Each panelist was then allowed a maximum of two minutes — with Rossland Public Library Di-rector, Beverly Rintoul, holding the traditional popcorn shaker timer on the sidelines. Aside from Guy, panelists were able to pro-vide a quick, enticing argument of why their book should win. Harrison-Whiteside appealed to Rosslanders’ choice of living here and embracing life in Rossland. Jeffery spoke about the themes of learning about life and self when under traumatic or bad circum-stances for Endurance. Anderson noted how often she recommends Riding the Bus with my Sister due to its appeal to a broad amount of people. Guy, as noted, was given

the shaker for going over her allot-ted time but did note how blown away she was by how much the book affected her and called The Alchemist the “patron book of travel.”

It was then time to move into the 10-minute debate rounds where Jen posed the hard-hitting questions to the panelists. Being a civilized group this year, panel-ists were respectful of each other

and minimal one-liners and criti-cisms were thrown about. In fact, each of the four debate-round questions only brought out the strength of each of the books; no book appeared to be a clear win-ner or loser.

Kudos to Kate Harrison-Wh-iteside; she performed well but it was Out of Africa that was voted off by one measly vote. It came down to each of the panelists’

votes, which are given double weight since they all read each book.

With two weeks left, the con-tenders for Rossland Reads 2014 will likely be heating things up a bit with talks of alliances that may be in place for week two. The winner will be crowned on Wednesday, November 12 at the Rossland Art Gallery. The debate begins at 7 p.m..

Main: Panelists Liz Anderson, Kate Harrison-Whiteside, Aerin Guy, and Mark Jeffrey with their re-spective books. Cutout: Moderator Jennifer Ellis trying to keep the peace amongst panelists!

Summit School (RSS) prima-ry classes gathered to officially open their brand new primary playground. Parent Advisory Council (PAC) Co-chair Kari Kuznecov along with Myra Rudakewich cut the ribbon to officially open the newly in-stalled play equipment.

The project got off the ground from copious fundrais-ing efforts and a grant submis-sion. The playground earned the Tire Stewardship grant and received 60,000 dollars from School District 20s allocation money after the closing of Maclean’s Elementary School. Other generous corporations also made contributions to ensure the younger students of RSS had safe and fun equip-ment to play on.

The playground features Habitat Systems Inc. parts that are guaranteed to last 100 years. Habitat Systems Inc. is based out of Burnaby, B.C. and is a playground and land-scape equipment distributor encouraging the development of healthy communities by se-lecting park and playground products that are innovative, kind to the environment, and

offer superior technologies. About nineteen years ago, “the industry changed from wood-en playgrounds to more du-rable products, and we really caught that wave,” says Mark Bodie co-founder of the Brit-ish Columbia play equipment company.

The school district’s staff wholly maintains the upkeep of

the playground. RSS principal Karen Lavender welcomes the public to use the play equip-ment located on the southern end of Jubilee Park in Ross-land, specifically designed for children aged five to 12 years. Lavender says she is “really happy to have a safe, fun and age appropriate playground for the younger students of RSS.”

Rossland’s beer company Paydirt pays off

On Saturday, 25 October our very own Rossland Beer Com-pany was awarded third place at the esteemed 2014 British Co-lumbia Beer Awards held in Van-couver. Paydirt Pale Ale took out third place in the North Amer-ican Ales category, a category which received 48 entries.

The Pale Ale named by the local community through a vot-ing contest, was the only brew entered into the competition by the Rossland Beer Company. With several mouth-watering beverages produced by the beer company, the decision to enter just one beer was determined by the awards judging criteria. “The awards have strict guide-lines, requiring a host of crite-ria to be met. Paydirt is the only beer we bottle,” said co-owner Petri Raito. Paydirt is a “juicy pale ale dosed with tropical ci-tra and cascade hops. The taste is just as big and bold as the aroma,” continues the smiley brewery operations manager Mr. Raito.

The 2014 BC Beer Awards drew more than 465 entries across 20 categories from

47 breweries and brewpubs throughout the province. “The overall mandate of the BC Beer Awards (BCBA) is to celebrate excellent beer, judging each hand-produced, artisanal bev-erage on its own merits. Craft brewers across the province are well-known for their innova-tion and creativity, something that the BCBA organizers are keen to help honour,” says orga-nizers of the awards. Since win-ning the award, Rossland’s own craft brewery has “received tons of positive feedback and beer enthusiasts just keep calling in,” declares Raito.

Craft beers are filling glasses across the country in a revo-lution to drink local artesian brews. Craft beer drinkers now make up 15 per cent of the beer market and that figure is grow-ing daily. Fall is the perfect time to slow down and enjoy season-al ingredients, from freshly har-vested crops. Open six days a week co-owners Petri Raito and Ryan Arnaud “want to share this (win) with the people of Rossland,” enthuse the pair. So now is the perfect opportunity to fill your glass and savour the flavour of their amber fluids.

Being established for just

over two years, Petri Raito and Ryan Arnaud “are so honoured to be called Rossland Beer Company and want everyone in the town to be proud of their little Brewery.” Hopefully, for your taste buds benefit, they will be producing more award winning beers in the near fu-ture.

Alicia arrived in Ross-land a� er hearing how good the skiing can be and how welcoming the local com-munity members are. “What I enjoy most about Rossland is the friendly locals and wealth of experiences of-fered from mountain biking, hiking and events to skiing,” she said.

“It is excellent to have both vacancies � lled so quick-ly with individuals who are passionate about the media

Hot issuesIt was far from a � -

ery battle� eld on the � oors of the Ross-land Miner’s Hall on Tuesday November 3 when Rossland Ro-tary Club presented the All Candidates Forum. � e Forum was an opportunity for the community to meet their can-didates o� ering a chance for the public to raise their aware-ness around who each candidate is and what topics candi-dates consider im-portant for the next four-year term in Council.

� ere was evidence that some audience members were not impressed with the performance of the outgoing Council, particularly around the issues of con-� ict of interest and the Arena. However, candidates and the standing room only audience behaved in the spirit of the fo-rum.

� e evening kicked o� with can-didates introducing themselves. � ey all had an impressive resume of commu-nity involvement and connection to Ross-land. Absent candi-dates Aaron Cosbey and Tim � atcher had their introducto-ry messages read by others. Mr Cosbey’s teenage daughter did her father proud when she con� dent-ly took to the � oor and demonstrated her public speaking skills, provoking au-dience members to ponder if she herself

will be a future can-didate.

Some of the key topics during ques-tion time related to past dissatisfaction with Council opera-tions. � ese includ-ed the procedure for hiring a Chief Ad-ministration O� cer, the delegation by-law, con� ict of inter-est issues, and com-munity transparency.

Candidates were questioned as to how they proposed to improve economics, raise additional rev-enue beyond taxpay-er money, and what they considered to be the priority issues. With regards to the question on raising revenue, the major-ity of candidates an-swered with review-ing current practises to save money, cost and resource sharing with neighbouring cities and installing a � bre-optic highway with the introduc-tion of broadband for Rossland. Andrew Zwicker and Mayor-al candidate, Coun-cillor Moore, o� ered some of the more diverse answers. Mr. Zwicker suggested a solar plant to raise revenue and turning the sewerage treat-ment plant into a revenue stream as opposed to a cost. Kathy Moore added, attracting students to the Monashee In-stitute and increas-ing tourists as well as new residents to the city.

Many candidates where in favour of sharing resources to in order to facilitate cost reduction. John Greene went out on

a limb and told the audience they should be “thinking amal-gamation”. Andrew Zwicker was quick to say he was against an amalgamation hav-ing experienced the Halifax, Nova Scotia merger of 216 com-munities.

Other hot topics included education, improving regional relations, resolving the recreation agree-ment issue, and the City’s aging infra-structure.

Candidates rec-ognised the need for greater communi-cation with citizens be it through co� ee and beer meetings, ski with a Councillor days, and consulta-tion with community groups and news-letters. All agreed to work together but the true test will come once the elect-ed Council sits and priorities need to be put into action. As candidates present at the forum, they had similar ideas theoret-ically, which should make for a progres-sive Council.

� e Rotary Club’s President, Fred Beh-rens recommended to all eligible voters to carefully study all issues and candidates before voting. � at is why he, along with the Rotary Club, fa-cilitated this forum for the people of Rossland.

“It was an op-portunity for Ross-lander’s to � nd out what they need to know to make a de-cision about who to support in this up-coming election,” Behrens said.

The allure of a spa-style bathroom is something few homeowners can resist. Such bathrooms can make for a welcome retreat after a long day at the offi ce or an afternoon spent chasing kids around the yard. But as appealing as such a sanctuary may seem, the cost of creating a luxury washroom is more than many homeowners’ budgets can withstand. Fortunately, a dream bathroom does not have to break the bank. In fact, there are several ways to make a bathroom worthy of the most comforting spa without stretching your budget. * Install a wall-hung mirror. If your idea of a luxury bathroom harkens back to a time before the advent of recessed medicine cabinets, then a wall-hung mirror can give the bathroom an entirely new feel without much of a fi nancial commitment.

Flush-mount mirrors need not require the services of a contractor, but they can provide a sense of elegance that recessed cabinets cannot. * Replace bathroom countertops. A countertop replacement job may sound expensive, but such an undertaking is not very costly in the washroom, where counter space is typically limited. Since the cost of countertop materials is by the square foot, you can replace bathroom surfaces for a relatively small amount of money. Granite countertops can be beautiful, but such surfaces do not create the warm feel that many prefer in a luxury bathroom. A material such as soapstone is warm and inexpensive and can quickly give the bathroom a new look. * Embrace calm colors. Painting the bathroom is another inexpensive way to give the

room an entirely new look. If the walls of your washroom are currently a vibrant color, consider a more calming tone to give the room the luxurious and relaxing feel you’re aiming for. If your bathroom includes a clawfoot tub, you also can make it a two-tone tub to add a touch of relaxing elegance. Paint the tub’s exterior in a calming tone such as soft gray, and you will have transformed the washroom at little cost and even less effort. * Transform your double vanity. Many homeowners prefer a double vanity in their bathrooms, as such a setup allows both men and women the space to get ready for bed or work without getting in one another’s way. But instead of a traditional vanity with a counter between the sinks, consider installing matching pedestal sinks to surround an antique washstand. This can give

the washroom a feel of antique luxury, and such washstands can found for a few hundred dollars. * Replace old fi xtures. Though they are often overlooked, cabinet and door fi xtures as well as towel racks can greatly infl uence the feel of a washroom. If the cabinet and drawer handles are old or outdated, replace them with more modern options. Such a job might be even more effective if you repaint or reface existing cabinetry. Neither task is terribly expensive, but both can give the washroom a more luxurious feel. The same goes for replacing old towel racks, which can be an eyesore if they’re especially dated. Transforming a bathroom may seem like a signifi cant and costly undertaking, but savvy homeowners can give their washrooms a new and luxurious look without spending much money.

THIS WEEK

On the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day,

of the eleventh month . . .

we will remember.

On October 4 and 5, the Beaver Valley Karate Champi-onships took place in the Fruit-vale Memorial Hall. The Beaver Valley Chito-Ryu and the New Rossland Chito-Ryu Karate Do-jo’s members participated in a registered amateur sport tour-nament to decide who was the best in the valley.

Attending the Shiai (tourna-ment) were some very special guests from across the Koote-nays and from the Okanagan. Sensei Maurice from Castlegar’s Shotokan Karate Dojo, Sensei Roberts from Salmo’s Shotokan Karate Dojo and our honoured guest Sensei Chris Taneda, 7th Dan Chito-Ryu and seven time National Kumite champion.

Thanks to a grant from the Columbia Basin Trust admin-istered by the Regional District of Kootenay Boundry, we had a very successful event.

Success is based on witness-ing the progress of those fo-cused enough to practice more intensely on their training to achieve success for a specific event on a limited timeline.

Competing in their first tour-naments in the Novice Kata Division from the Beaver Val-ley Dojo Evrik Bergstrom won

bronze for 4th place, Rossland’s Cristobal Ruiz won bronze for 3rd place, Cooper Reed won sil-ver and Emily Gardner won the gold medal.

In the Intermediate Kata Di-vision Beaver Valley’s Dawson Stemler won bronze for 4th place , Andrea Buckland won bronze for 3rd place, Tyson Nelson won silver and Meagan Campsall won gold.

In the Weapons Kata Division Andrea Buckland won bronze, Tyson Nelson won silver and Meagan Campsall won her sec-ond gold Medal.

In the Team Kata Division Team Buckland with Lil’Jess, Lo-han, Andrea winning the bronze medal, Team Rossland Pablo Ri-vas, Tobi Hillis, and Cristobal Ruiz winning the silver medal and Beaver Valley’s Team Tyson Nelson, Meagan Campsall won the gold medal.

In the Kumite Division all fighting for their first times win-

ning bronze was Lohan Buck-land, silver went to Meagan Campsall and gold was Tyson Nelson.

In the Black belt Kata Duel Sensei Roberts and Sensei Scott came to a Hikiwake (Tie). Winning the Best Male Athlete award with 2 silver and 2 gold medals was Tyson Nelson. The Best Female Athlete with 3 gold medals and 1 silver medal was Meagan Campsall and winning the most coveted of prizes this year, a Playstation4, with unani-mous votes by all the Judges was Meagan Campsall from the Bea-ver Valley Chito-Ryu Dojo.

On Sunday there was a Clin-ic with Sensei Taneda and five hours of training. Students came from Beaver Valley, Castlegar, Rossland and Salmo.

For more information about The Beaver Valley Chito-Ryu Dojo call Robin or Pam at the Rossland Recreation Centre (250) 362-2327.

FROM PAGE 1It was in 1990 that the federal

government first began to acknow-ledge and give benefits to those men and women who served in the armed forces for Canada, but never were sent overseas.

“Yet where did they train the pilots? In Canada,” she said.

Despite the government’s over-sight, Batch never regretted her decision to enlist in 1942 in her

hometown of Regina, Sask., and remains proud of what Canadians accomplished in those years, how they stood strong as a country.

It was a good time, said Batch, because there was a cause, and there was Charlie.

They were young and in love.“And he was a good guy. We

weren’t rich but we had everything else. When he died we didn’t owe a penny to anybody,” she said.

Batch remains proud of Canada’s accomplishments

BY TIMES STAFFIt will be standing

room only with up to 2,000 people expected at the Remembrance Day ceremony at the cenotaph in Trail on Pine Avenue Friday.

The day begins with the massing of the honour guard and the rest of the 300-strong parade near the banks of the Columbia River at Eldorado Street.

10:30 a.m.Around 10:30 a.m.

the parade begins — with the Colour Party, RCMP honour guard, the pipe band, veter-ans and cadets in tow — its journey towards the cenotaph, with a brief stop at the “salut-ing base” on Cedar Street where the may-ors of Trail, Warfield and Montrose will be standing.

10:45 a.m.The parade arrives

at the cenotaph at 10:40 a.m., with the ceremony beginning around 10:45 a.m.

with the singing of O Canada, followed by a hymn, a prayer and an address by the minis-ter. World War II vet-eran May Batch will then read the honour role names: 36 from WWI, 139 from WWII, one from the Korean War and two from the Vietnam War.

11 a.m.Last Post will then

be played by Lorne De Paolis followed by two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. (with the siren sounding at the armouries). The Lament, Reveille (by De Paolis), the Act of Remembrance and the laying of the official wreaths leads up to the reciting of In Flanders Fields. In closing, the Benediction and the singing of God Save the Queen preclude the march off.

1 p.m.People will gather

around 1 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 11 on

Columbia Avenue for an afternoon of enter-tainment and stories.

Colour PartyLeading up to

Remembrance Day the Legion hosted Colour Parties at vari-ous places around the city to raise awareness, and to allow those who might not be able to attend the Nov. 11 ceremony a chance to pay homage.

On a battlefield a regiment would use their colours as a rally-ing point, with their colours being slowly marched between sol-diers’ ranks to enable them to identify their regiments’ colours.

Today, the Colour Party provides the ceremonial protocols at all Legion functions, Remembrance and Decoration Day servi-ces, and represents a branch at various other parades.

• FruitvaleThe day begins at

10:30 a.m. with the marching of the hon-our guard from the Royal Canadian Legion to the Cenotaph.

The ceremony fol-lows at 10:45 a.m. with the prelude to the minute of silence delivered by pastor Kent Maddigan, fol-lowed by the recital of the poem In Flanders Fields, singing of God Save the Queen and closing remarks by current Mayor Libby Nelson.

• RosslandIn Rossland there

will be a service held at the Royal Canadian Legion hall at 10 a.m., followed by a cere-mony at the cenotaph at 11 a.m. next to the library. The activ-ity shifts back to the Legion hall at 11:30 a.m. after the cere-mony.

Celebrity chefs help in Cancer Kiss-off• Continued from page 1

Co-organizing the event were Deb Dovgala and Diana Daghofer, fundraising volun-teer for the host organization Prevent Cancer Now. Diana gives full credit to Deb, “the Kiss-O� Cancer Cook-O� is the brainchild of Deb Dovgala.” Deb elaborates on the idea with her personal story of how her mom was diagnosed with can-cer 10 years ago and with her � rst diagnosis and operation, she made some eating hab-its and lifestyle changes. � is lead Deb to read Anticancer: A New Way of Life, written by David Servan-Schreiber. It was the section on types of food that prevent in� ammation and (were) termed anti-cancer in-gredients that inspired her to create an event as a way for peo-ple to start talking about what we eat.

Diana noted that the event has raised over $20,000. � e funds support education e� orts on cancer prevention, in-line with Prevent Cancer Now’s mis-sion of building a Canada-wide

movement to eliminate the pre-ventable causes of cancer. A fun event, Diana recognizes how the “chefs go all-out to create new dishes using the anti-can-cer ingredients.”

John Snelgrove of the Grind enjoyed the event and is hop-ing his participation can inspire others by showing that healthy food can taste really good.

“You just need to � nd a good recipe, experiment, and try it,” Snelgrove stated.

For more information on the work Prevent Cancer Now does, and to � nd a complete list of the anti-cancer ingredients as adapted from Anticancer: A New Way of Life, please visit their website at www.prevent-cancernow.ca.
