Four young dancers who qualified at the Kootenay Festival of the Arts, went on to partici-pate in the provincials last spring in Powell River.

The dancers were required to take classes over five days and perform two solos, which had been recommended by the adjudicator who nominated them.

“It’s really good to see the skill level, and what’s out there. It’s good to see other dancers your own age, who are pursuing the same dream,” said Emilia Hoffman, one of the dancers.

The dancers are separated into their respective categories, based on age and the categories have a range of ages. Danceworks had dancers enter-ing at the bottom of their age range who still had strong showings. Charlotte McKay was given an honourable mention, and Emilia Hoffman came second in her category (Emilia was in the middle of her category at age 12). The categories typically include about 15 of the best dancers selected from festivals throughout the province, so the competi-tion can be tough.

“The dancers supported each other — it’s scary, some people haven’t performed on that big a stage. You get one shot, so it’s a little nerve wrack-ing,” said Hoffman.

“It was a great experience,” Charlotte McKay agreed.

Thinking of encouraging your child to pursue

dance? Here’s another myth-buster:“It’s stereotyped that dancers are really mean to

each other backstage. In my experience, that has not been the case at all, it’s a good environment,” Hoffman concluded.

Efforts to reach a recreation agreement between the cities of Rossland and Trail have come to a standstill.

Representatives from both communities an-

nounced on Thursday that after four months of trying to hammer out a deal they’ve reached an impasse.

It came down to fi-nances and Rossland simply couldn’t afford to meet Trail’s request.

In a press release, the City of Rossland cited

that its budget is “under pressure from a number of fronts.”

It highlighted the sewage plant upgrades, aging facilities and major infrastructure repairs including next year’s Washington Street renewal project.

“While we understand

there is a tangible and important value to re-gional cooperation, our first priority must be to the residents of Rossland and making sure our spending deci-sions are prudent,” said the release.

The City of Trail is-sued its own press release explaining its negotiating committee faced a tough decision.

“It became very evi-dent that Trail council would have to signifi-cantly compromise the original principles the city advanced when talks began in order to secure an agreement with Rossland.”

Trail Mayor Mike Martin said the gap be-tween the two commu-nities was just too much to overcome.

“Rossland cited finan-cial capacity as a limit-ing factor and there re-

mained a significant gap between what Rossland indicated they could af-ford to pay and where Trail council was ulti-mately comfortable.

“As negotiations con-tinued, council became increasingly concerned with the potentially negative impacts a settlement could have on the funding agree-ment the city has in place with Warfield and Beaver Valley. The city had to be mindful of this given what has been ac-complished in these two agreements.”

Trail reached a 66-month deal with Warfield (worth $631,500 over the life of the agreement) in May and a one-year deal with Beaver Valley (worth $125,000) in August.

According to the City of Rossland press release, Trail offered

Rossland a two-year deal for $90,000 per year while Rossland coun-tered with an offer of $50,000 per year with a cost of living percentage increase for three years.

Rossland Mayor Kathy Moore said the cost proved too prohibitive.

“In the end we just couldn’t afford what Trail was requesting. Rossland already spends 15 per cent of our an-nual budget on our own recreational facili-ties and programs. We have other basic critical needs that must be ad-dressed.”

Despite not reaching an agreement, Moore said both sides negoti-ated in a friendly and open manner.

“Unfortunately our two councils were un-able to come to an agreement for recre-ation but the negotia-

tions were friendly to the end. Both sides are still eager to work to-gether on other shared challenges. Hopefully in the future all of the local governments in our area can find a last-ing solution to the rec-reation issue.”

The Rossland press release said its council decided that the original offer to Trail could be used to fund a reim-bursement program to residents for access to Trail’s facilities. Details of the program will be announced in the near future.

In the meantime, the Trail Resident Program will remain in effect with Trail council stat-ing in its press release that it will “continue to consider specific inter-est groups to try and mitigate community impact.”

Rossland, Trail fail to reach rec agreement

The first contender has been eliminated in the 2015 Rossland Reads.

The Birth House by Ami McKay, defended by Lise Levesque, was the first novel to be eliminated at last Thursday night’s debate in a very close vote.

Audience votes resulted in a three-way tie — though modera-tor Jennifer Ellis wouldn’t reveal which book was spared — and it was up to the debaters to decide which of the four contenders would be down for the count.

Penny Johnson, who was de-fending Three Day Road by Joseph Boyden, voted against The Birth House, as did Maddie Snelgrove, who was defending This One Summer by Jillian Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki.

Jane Therriault, who was de-fending Steven Galloway’s The Cellist of Sarajevo, voted against Three Day Road, as she felt that book was her stiffest competition.

Levesque, who will still return for future debates despite her book being eliminated, voted against This One Summer.

The final vote came after a rig-orous, but mostly friendly debate.

In the first round debaters were asked which books they felt were the most historically accurate, and whether or not historical ac-curacy was important in fiction.

The debaters didn’t think it was, but that didn’t stop Johnson from opening the round by fir-ing a volley at The Birth House, which she said relied on too many coincidences in its plot.

In the second round, debaters were actually encouraged to compliment one another’s books by listing two of their favourite characters, one of which had to be from a book other than their own. They were also supposed to choose the two characters, again one not from their own book, who they thought were the most well drawn.

Johnson chose Elijah as the most well-drawn character from Three Day Road because of the

way Boyden captured his trans-formation into a wendigo.

After journeying to Europe with his best friend Xavier to fight in the First World War, the young Cree man briefly adopts a British accent, but drops it as he becomes addicted to morphine. Asked what she made of this part of the book, Johnson said, “The morphine has got to him for so long now, he almost feels like he’s a god, so he doesn’t have to take on that image any longer …, he doesn’t have to take on any persona any longer but his own.”

Johnson chose Miss Babineau, the old midwife who leaves her practice to the main character of the book, as her second pick for most well-drawn charac-ter. Levesque also chose Miss Babineau not only as her favou-rite character from her own book, but also the most well-drawn.

One of the major conflicts in The Birth House is between traditional approaches to birth and remedies as administered by women and institutional forms of health care as administered by men. This conflict plays out between Miss Babineau and a new doctor who has moved to the area, but also between the doc-tor and the main character Dora Rare, who the doctor diagnosis with and treats for hysteria.

Asked what she made of that conflict, Levesque said, “It just really speaks to how men his-torically control women and how important it is that we remember the mistakes of the past to really ensure that women have a say over their bodies. You can’t let men decide how or what women’s health is going to look like, it re-ally has to be decided by women.”

The third round was the bare-knuckle round where debaters only had 30 seconds to answer Ellis’s questions. She asked the debaters whether their books dealt with larger or smaller con-flicts, and then asked which book handled conflict the least well.

The Cellist of Sarajevo features the larger conflict of the siege of Sarajevo, but also the smaller conflicts of each character. Asked which character’s conflicts she felt were the most interesting, Therriault chose the young fe-male sniper, Arrow.

“She changed her name. She did not want to identify herself as a sniper to the woman that she truly was in her heart,” said Therriault.

At the end of the third round the debaters began discussing conflict in This One Summer, which led to a discussion of the way the graphic novel uses imagery to convey emotion and conflict.

Asked about the imagery in the book, Snelgrove said, “I really loved the detail and the imagery that went into a lot of the smaller images, but the full spread — so the two page ones — were the ones that really struck me. Where there was almost rarely any text on the page, it was just the image. So there were a few scenes of Rose swimming through the water, and there’s not much colour, it’s just the image of her and then the blank page you imagine to be the water.”

The next debate will be held Thursday, Nov. 12 at 7 p.m. at New Edition Café and Books. If you missed the first debate, you can listen to the podcast on the Rossland Library’s website.

First book eliminated in Rossland ReadsCHELSEA NOVAK

Very late in Colm Tóibín’s beautiful novel, Nora Webster, a striking conversation occurs between Nora and Josie, her aunt:

“We barely manage, all of us,” Josie said, “to see what’s there. That’s the hardest thing, although no

one would tell you that. If we could just look at what’s there.”

“You don’t believe in anything …?”

“I get through the day, Nora. That’s all I do. And I leave every-thing else to itself.”

Josie isn’t giving up to self-pity; she has

had a hard life, but has learned what she needs to do to live as full a life as she can. She is trying to help Nora to cope, to see the world for what it is, and to notice her place in it. Josie wants Nora to find herself, and she knows Nora needs her help. Nora recently has been through a lot, and by this point in the novel we too have experi-enced key moments in Nora’s first years after the death of her hus-band, Maurice, a death that leaves Nora, in

her forties, and her four children with challenges they hadn’t expected.

Colm Tóibín, the award-winning Irish author most famous-ly of The Blackwater Lightship (1999), The Master (2004), and Brooklyn (2009—the film version of which opened in theatres in early November 2015), sets Nora Webster be-tween Dublin and County Wexford in the late 1960s as “the Troubles” begin. On the one hand, in Nora Webster Tóibín adds

to his explorations of the tensions between private and public life generally, and, on the other, he makes rich-er his reflections on Catholicism, national-ism, and a woman’s lot in Ireland specifi-cally. In this novel, the challenge for Nora is to see, as Josie points out, “what’s there”— that is, to see in fact her own place in these aspects of late 1960s Irish life.

Throughout the novel we observe Nora’s setbacks and successes, even though

the latter ones often don’t seem to register for her. Daily needs and her children call her out of her sorrow and back to life, and chance encounters with neighbours and acquaintances present opportunities for her that make life new, or at least different. And, despite Nora’s efforts to keep herself pro-tected from townsfolk who want to know all about her, her inter-action with some of these very people gives her challenges to over-come and moments to

express herself with confidence and ac-complishment. To be sure, one of Tóibín’s great achievements in Nora Webster is to present in straight-forward yet intimate prose the process of living through grief and of allowing life to free you, if you trust it, to live on.

In following through on this trust, Nora might see, Josie seems to be urging, the life all around her, and that there are places in that life that are for Nora alone.

One of the stories that I have been told several times is that trading in Rossland mining shares was responsible for the establishment of the Toronto Stock Exchange. Of course, that is a myth. The Toronto Stock Exchange long predated mining at Rossland and only two or three major Rossland mining compa-nies were ever listed on it. Yet, Rossland mines did have an im-portant effect on institutions for trading stocks in Toronto. What is the true story?

Scores of mining companies

were incorporated in the mid- to late-1890s for the purpose of de-veloping mining properties in the Rossland area and most sought to sell shares to the public to finance their ventures. In 1897 there were over 40 stock bro-kers in Rossland. For them, the question of the day was: should they establish a stock exchange to facilitate transactions among themselves and to provide mar-ket-based quotations of the prices of shares?

The brokers were divided on the issue. Some, whose business was “pure” brokerage — bringing buyers and sellers together for a fee — gave strongly principled support, arguing that sharp prac-tices in selling shares (charging higher prices to eastern buyers if they could get away with it) were deceitful and the reaction to the practice was spoiling the mar-ket for Rossland shares. Others, who were typically brokers in name but promoters of particular companies in practice, were ve-hemently opposed. They argued that mining companies could do better raising money by continu-ing their existing practices with-out the restraint of well-publi-cized stock exchange quotations of share prices. Nonetheless, in

March, 1897, it was unanimously agreed to open a stock exchange in Rossland. What brought the opponents around was the estab-lishment in January of a stock exchange in Spokane for trading in Rossland mining shares. The Rossland brokers were afraid of a devastating loss of business to Spokane brokers.

The Rossland stock exchange opened on the eve of April Fools’ Day, 1897, with 46 members and over 150 shares listed (as it turned out, perhaps they should have waited a day). In Spokane, the same arguments among brokers were undermining the fledgling stock exchange there and, hearing rumours that the Spokane exchange was about to close, the dissidents in Rossland struck. At a tumultuous meeting on May 17, a month and a half after the exchange opened, they succeeded in passing a motion to dissolve the exchange and distrib-ute its assets among its members. A delegation went to Spokane to encourage the dissolution of the Spokane exchange, but failed in its mission. For the brokers, it was the worst possible outcome. The Rossland exchange closed; the Spokane exchange survived.

This, however, was not the end

of the troubles for the Rossland stock brokers. Attracting eastern capital was the key to mining development and both Rossland and Toronto brokers were actively cultivating the Toronto market for Rossland shares. Because the shares were not listed on an ex-change in Toronto or Rossland, the Toronto Globe would not publish quotations for Rossland stocks. The editor’s objection was that the only quotations available were from brokers that often var-ied substantially, and the brokers were not always disinterested. Some had ties to the companies whose stocks they were promot-ing. In response to the disorder in the market, in mid-January, 1898, a group of brokers organized the Toronto Mining and Industrial Exchange for trading in min-ing stocks, particularly those of Rossland mines. Membership in this exchange was restricted so some excluded brokers organized a second exchange, the Standard Stock and Mining Exchange, again primarily for trading in Rossland mining shares. With competition eroding profits, the two exchanges soon merged (June, 1900) under the Standard name. The Standard Exchange was absorbed by the Toronto

Stock Exchange in 1934, but this was long after there were any Rossland mining shares in the market. A mining stock exchange was also organized in Montreal in 1899 and Rossland shares were listed there, but they did not have the dominant presence that they had in Toronto.

Meanwhile, in Rossland an at-tempt was made to reopen the stock exchange soon after its closure, but the attempt failed. A broker then tried to operate a stock exchange privately, but amid controversy soon withdrew. The brokers finally organized an-other exchange in April, 1899, but the eastern exchanges rendered it irrelevant. It operated in a desul-tory fashion for a few years, but by 1904 it was also history.

The Rossland mines were not responsible for the establishment of the Toronto Stock Exchange, but they were responsible for the establishment of specialized mining exchanges in Rossland, Spokane and Toronto (2), and had a role in the establishment of another in Montreal. The myth about Rossland mines and the Toronto Stock Exchange is prob-ably an understandable confusion of the Toronto Mining Exchange with the Toronto Stock Exchange.

BOOK REVIEW

AS IT HAPPENED

For the second year in a row, the learners at the Seven Summits Centre for Learning took to the greens for some pre-snow physical education.

Loretta Bulfone and Edwin MacDonald, pros at Restsone Resort Golf Course, taught learn-ers how to swing a club during the early fall months.

“We were looking for activities for our centre to do that didn’t involve gym space because we don’t have one,” said

Sue McBride. “So we were looking at all the kinds of activities that happen in our commu-nity, golfing being one of them.… So hopefully this will be the start of, you know, more of this type of a program, and we can expand it and maybe have a golf team.”

Bulfone and MacDonald taught a group of 15 learn-ers “the basics of grip, posture and alignment along with safety and etiquette and care of the course.” They covered long game, short game, sand play and putting.

Learners and mentors

from the centre both impressed the pros.

“We found the groups polite and respectful when spoken to and when reminded to do tasks like clean-up,” Bulfone said in an email to McBride following the end of the season. “They took their respon-sibility for returning the school’s golf clubs seri-ously and assisted in lo-cating ours as well. Very helpful at the end of our

sessions. The mentor assistants and teachers were able to glean tips for their swings, which they seemed to enjoy, and were invaluable for their encouragement with the students dur-ing course play and we thank them very much.”

Everyone’s efforts seemed to have paid off, as the learners thor-oughly enjoyed them-selves and improved their games.

BlackJack Ski Club is looking for volunteer coaches to help out with its cross country skier development programs.

Nearly 100 kids, ages four and up, participate in the programs, which are mostly taught by volunteers.

“We’re always in need of new coaches because we always have some turnover every year,” says Ann Quarterman, coordinator. “So anyone who likes to cross country ski, and likes kids would be perfect for a candidate.”

BlackJack pays for volunteer coaches to receive training, which takes place over two weekends. The first training session is next weekend, and the second is from Nov. 27 to 29.

The expected time commitment is approximately four hours a week to teach two courses — one on Sunday, 2-3:30 p.m., and one on Tuesday, 5:30-6:30 p.m. — and to plan lessons.

If the programs attract enough volunteers, it may be possible for coaches to share classes and only teach one day a week.

Students are taught a variety of skills, depending on their age. The youngest are taught basics like how to stand on skies, fall down, and get back up

again. Students start out on classic skies, but once they reach level three they also learn to skate ski.

“So then they’re on two different kinds of tech-niques and they switch back and forth between the different days of lessons, and then they get proficient on that as well,” says Quarterman. “The kids usually love skate skiing.”

The kids also love hot chocolate and snacks, which parents take turns providing after Sunday lessons.

Older students also race and some have hopes of joining the national cross country skiing team.

Those interested in volunteering, to help with coaching or anything else, can contact Quarterman at [email protected] or 250-262-5956.

Rossland’s Paul Picard accepted death before he even found out he was dying of metastatic

prostate cancer.But the 68-year-old

doesn’t count his in-curable diagnosis as de-bilitating and instead is following a new mission

of educating the public on the “misunderstood” cancer.

“I’m a very blessed man in so many ways, so people at times find

it funny that I feel so lucky, but I’m dying of prostate cancer,” he said. “But this is just a bit of bad luck. It doesn’t erase all the good things and even the way I was introduced to my cancer was very special.”

The avid skier’s near-death experience on Grey Mountain back in 2014 actually led to a routine check up that determined his diagno-sis. The fog was so thick that day he rode the new chair lift up to the mountain he normally toured. When he lost his bearings, he hunkered down for a long night ahead.

“Eventually I had to spend the night at -12 °C with totally drenched clothing, waiting for daylight and not know-ing if I would live through the night,” he said. “There is a say-ing in touring, ‘A wet skier is a dead skier.’ I couldn’t have been more wet than I was.”

Twelve long hours of meditated breathing led to the acceptance of death and the real-ization that he wasn’t afraid of dying.

Today, Picard feels the

same.“I tell people when

you buy a lottery ticket, you hope you’ll win but would you plan your retirement on winning the lottery?” he asked. “Yes, I hope for the best but I plan for the prob-able.”

Picard is planning his end of life with his wife Louise in mind but also others who have been dealt the same luck. He has started up a Rossland/Trail support group, plans on lob-bying for assisted sui-cide and is also raising money and awareness for prostate cancer by growing a moustache for Movember, a char-ity event in November that has men growing and charting their com-mitment to “change the face of men’s health.”

If it wasn’t for that cold night, Picard would have never got the rou-tine checkup that in-cluded a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) testing, where it was discovered that his normal evalu-ation of 3.6 ng/mL in 2012 had jumped dra-matically to 300 ng/mL by March 2014. (Most healthy men have PSA

levels under 4 nano-grams per millilitre (ng/mL) of blood, and the chance of having pros-tate cancer goes up as the PSA level goes up).

He began researching immediately, and a visit to the Trail library con-firmed that there was not enough information out there on the can-cer when he could not find one book but 12 on breast cancer.

“Everybody said, ‘Oh prostate cancer, you’re lucky. It’s an easy can-cer.’ Even the neu-rologist gave the same speech: ‘It’s slow mov-ing,’” he recalled. “But not for me. I have 30-plus metastasis (spread outside the prostate gland) here, and my PSA is 300.”

He had to follow the system’s method of de-termining his cancer number, which started with a bone scan that “lit up like a Christmas tree.”

Five weeks later, he had a biopsy and finally reached the oncologist department. But by that time his PSA reached 560.

He has since com-pleted a special drug-

trial (Zytiga) out of Vancouver and taken a handful of other drugs to castrate his prostate cancer. His PSA num-bers tapered off dramat-ically but “no drug lasts forever” and his charts are showing an incline.

Picard flips through pages of documented PSA numbers, which dictates his health plan. He has received five doses of radiation and more recently just had his first injection of Radium-223, a radio-active material seen as another form of calcium by the body.

Without testosterone in his body, Picard finds himself waking in the night to a hot flash and the inability to fall back to sleep easily. But he is reminded of that cold snow bank he once lay awake in and comforted by his life and falls right back to sleep.

Picard has nearly met his goal of $1,000 on Movember.com. Those looking to support his cause can do so at mobro.com/paulpicard.

The Rossland Mountain Market Society needs more volunteers if there’s going to be a summer market next year.

The society held its annual general meet-ing after the first winter market of the year on Saturday, looking for community members who could contribute to making the market happen.

“We’re looking for volunteers who can help us on the day of the farmers’ market, so sort of the day to day physical market operations,” said Miche Warwick, market manager. “We’re also looking for new board members, which are volunteer positions as well. So there’s lots of different jobs that need to be done.”

Volunteers who manage market days do receive a small honorarium for their work, but the exact amount depends on vendor attendance, since that’s the market’s source of revenue, and vendor attendance can depend largely on the support the market

receives from the community.“Right now our market is struggling to

get vendors to come to Rossland,” said Warwick. “Last year I worked really, really, really hard to get a lot of new vendors to come to Rossland and a lot of them haven’t returned because they didn’t have a super successful experience.”

Farmers and food vendors tend to do alright at the market, but artisan vendors can have a harder time, especially during the summer months.

“We need the community to come out. If they want to see a variety of vendors here, they’ve got to come out to support them when they are here,” said Warwick.

Tourists can help boost the market, and definitely show up during the winter, but the market society needs more volunteers to help draw in tourists over the summer.

“The more hands we have on deck, the stronger of an advertising team we can have,” said Warwick.

Due to the closing of the Miners’ Hall

for renovations, there will only be two more winter markets this year, unless the society can find another location to hold them at. The other two markets will be on Saturday, Dec. 19 and Saturday, Jan. 30 from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

If you’d like to volunteer with the Rossland Mountain Market Society, you can contact them at [email protected] for more information.

The Viewpoint Cabin has been rebuilt with even better viewsViewpoint cabin in

the Rossland Range Recreation Site has been rebuilt, by the same two men who built the origi-nal cabin.

Rob Richardson and Bob Lloyd spent the summer rebuilding Viewpoint from the ground up, replacing the a-frame hut that they built back in 2002.

The original Viewpoint was built to replace the first cabin Richardson and Lloyd built, The Lynx, which was knocked down in a snow storm.

The latest rebuild was part of an initiative by the Friends of the Rossland Range (FORR) to improve the shelters on the recreation site this summer. In addi-tion to Viewpoint, two

other cabins were also replaced: Berry Ridge (its replacement in the Lepsoe Basin has yet to be named) and Mosquito.

Viewpoint cabin is so named for its views: to the south is Old Glory Mountain and to the west is Nancy Greene Lake.

Rebuilding the cabin offered the opportunity to improve on the views, as the old cabin was down in a little bit of a hollow and the a-frame didn’t offer much of a view anyway.

Richardson and Lloyd began building the new cabin in June, working mostly by themselves, with some help from their wives and sons.

“It’s basically just Bob and myself,” said Richardson. “We didn’t go out and recruit a

bunch of volunteers be-cause we’ve known each other since Grade one, so we just work good together.”

But when Richardson and Lloyd did need some extra help, people were happy to offer it.

“You know whenever we asked for something, like I’d asked a guy to help me with the hearth on the fireplace, and you know he said, ‘Oh yeah, I can lay the hearth for you. I got some slate at home,’ he said, ‘if you want to put that down,’ and I said, ‘Great,’” said Lloyd. “So you know anybody you did ask was more than happy to come and … if they had stuff, [to] bring it.”

Don Liszt, who spear-headed construction on the new Mosquito Cabin, helped out with the roof and chimney, and Tim

Harding from Trail Home Hardware gave “excellent discounts” on materials for the cabin. The wood stove inside the cabin was donated by some of Lloyd’s friends from Australia.

Local artist Jenny Baillie also helped out by painting the front door with a stunning landscape that has been getting a lot of attention.

“The door has been the talk of the town,” said Lloyd.

“Everyone comes up and says ‘Oh, look at the beautiful door,’ but Bob and myself try to say, ‘What about the cabin that we spent all summer building too?’ Because [the door] is the focal point and she did a beautiful, beautiful job,” said Richardson. “There’s some people who’ve said they’d like

the front door of their house in Rossland done like that too.”

Not everyone was on board when it was first announced that some of the old cabins would be replaced, Lloyd among them, but now that three new cabins have been built, some people are starting to come around.

“Now I think it’s all positive,” said Lloyd. “They’re going to be cleaner, and you know they’re there for a life-time really.”

Richardson and Lloyd have been skiing the range for decades, and have noticed that there are a lot more people using the area now, not just for cross country skiing, but for snow shoeing as well. The new cabins offer not only a cleaner place for

outdoor adventurers to stop, but more space.

Siding on the cabin went up just last week, and Richardson and

Lloyd continue to make small touch ups on the cabin, but with winter settling in, they’re ready to just enjoy it.

Cooler temperatures are harbingers of winter and the potentially harsh weather to come. Planning for the wind chills and snow in November can put men and women in a better position to handle winter upon its arrival.

If you haven’t already done so, make sure you take winter clothes out of storage. You may have gotten by on lightweight sweaters and windbreakers so far, but come November, it’s time to dig out your winter coat and snow boots.

November also is a good time to replace the � lter on your furnace. Chances are the heating system will be working hard, and you want to ensure the � lter is fresh and keeping interior air as clean as possible.

If you haven’t done so already, schedule an appointment to have your chimney inspected and cleaned prior to using the � replace or a heating stove. Particles trapped in the chimney can ignite, and le� over waste can produce unpleasant odors in the home.

� ink about out� tting your vehicle with winter tires, which provide better traction in snowy conditions. Switch over to a windshield washer � uid that is reliable in lower temperatures.

Replace screens in storm doors with the glass panels to insulate the home against colder temperatures.

Taking these steps can make winter weather more tolerable for the next few months.

Prepare for the arrival of cooler temperatures

When John Van der Kroft left Holland in the summer of 1957, he had no idea it would be 58 years until he would see his brother again.

At the age of 21, he had just finished his mandatory two-year stint in the military, and decided to immi-grate.

“I had my choices. I could go to Africa,

or New Zealand, or Australia, but I picked Canada,” he said. “I had some relatives in Bowness, Alberta. They had to more or less co-sign for me.”

From Bowness, he gradually made his way from Alberta to British Columbia, eventually making it to Nakusp.

He and his brother Arthur tried to keep in contact over the years, but life moves pretty fast. Both men were busy raising their fami-

lies. While John had immigrated to Canada, Arthur stayed behind in Holland, working in construction, building high-rises. Gradually, they fell out of contact.

Their children how-ever, did not.

John’s youngest son, David, and Arthur’s two daughters, Anita and Diana, hatched a plan to reunite the pair. Anita and Diana contacted a group in Holland called Love in the Air. You can make a wish, and the group tries to turn that wish into a reality.

“My daughters wrote a letter to Love in the Air — he came to us, and he asked me ‘I heard you have a broth-er in Canada, will you see him?’” said Arthur.

“I said ‘Of course I will see him.’ He said, ‘Tuesday, go to airplane to Toronto.’”

From Toronto, Arthur and his wife, Lean, flew to Vancouver. From there, they took a heli-copter ride to Nakusp, where they arrived on Oct.16.

The way Love in the Air works, is that plans involving a wish have to remain a secret. If anyone spills the beans about what’s going on, the wish is cancelled.

John was in for quite a shock. Around one o’clock on Oct. 16, there was a knock on his door. David was there with his wife Dawn, a paramedic in Castlegar. They told him to answer the door.

Standing outside was a reporter and two men. One of the men asked John if he would be surprised to know his brother was outside.

“I went outside, and there he was, stand-ing down the street. I didn’t recognize him at first,” he said. “He started walking, and I started walking, I fig-ured I might as well meet him halfway. My blood pressure went up and everything just ex-ploded.”

Arthur tried to de-scribe what the meet-ing was like for him.

“You cannot describe it,” he said. “Tears, and emotion. It was nice. It was very nice.”

There was a slight drawback. After speak-ing English for so many years, John lost a lot of his Dutch. While John doesn’t speak much Dutch, Arthur doesn’t speak much English. His wife Lean doesn’t speak it at all.

When they talk to each other, it’s mainly

Dutch, with a little bit of English here and there.

“I can read it, but I have a hard time speak-ing it,” said John. “I can’t make up a sen-tence like ‘How’s the weather today?’”

The pair has spent much time together over the last few weeks.

“I took him up the mountains for a drive, looking for bears,” said John. “For four days, he stayed in Castlegar with David. He took him out fishing, that’s about it.”

They also spent time catching up, talking about when they were little, about girls, and life in Holland after

WWII. One thing they don’t talk about is the war itself.

John was three years old when the war broke out. Arthur was only one.

“We had seen people dropping dead on the sidewalks, starving to death,” said John. “Those are things you don’t want to remem-ber.”

For Arthur, one thing worth remembering from this trip is how great it’s been being able to meet his ex-tended family. John has six children, fourteen grandchildren, and nine great-grandchil-dren.

This is probably going to be the last time the two brothers will ever see each other. John is 79, Arthur is 77, and neither one can afford the trip to visit. This trip would not have been possible if the tickets weren’t already paid for.

“It’s breaking my heart when I must leave,” said Arthur.

While something like this may never happen again, the pair is grate-ful they had the chance to see each other once more. Arthur and Lean few back to Holland on Nov. 5.

“I’ll never forget this,” Arthur said. “Never.”

Brothers reunited after nearly 60 yearsJILLIAN TRAINOR

ARROW LAKES NEWS

Arthur Van der Kroft embraces his brother John. The brothers were reunited after spending nearly 60 years apart. Members of their families set up the surprise reunion for the two when they contacted Love In The Air, a program in Holland which allows loved ones to be reunited. In order for for the event to go through, it had to be kept quiet. Arthur and his wife Lean headed back to Holland on Nov. 5.

Youth aged 12 to 18 years old have taken on a Next Steps project through the Rossland Youth Action Network and the McCreary Centre Society. The project is Comics for Change, and youth are responding to the results of the BC Adolescent Health Survey by creating their own comics, which will eventually be published in a book. YAN’s Tuesday drop-in art night offered youth a chance to work on their comics with help from local artist Kristen Renn. Pictured left to right: Tavis and Logan,working on their contributions.

NEWSPAPERS AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE

MONEY HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON.

Newspaper ads, both print and online, play a key role in helping people make their banking and investment decisions.

Newspapers and their sites outperform all other media in engaging Canadians, including high-income Canadians, boomers, moms and even young adults.

All of which makes advertising in newspapers a very smart move.
