Community

It may be a simple (but tiring) mission to walk 1,100 kilome-tres from Hope, B.C. to Calgary, Alta., to raise $50,000 for the Children’s Aid Foun-dation, when a per-son has an able body.

It may not be so simple to consider Bart Zych is walk-ing after having both knees surgically re-constructed.

Zych’s goal is two-fold: one is to help neglected and under-privileged kids with a fundraising project for prevention, edu-cation and enrich-ment programs and the second is to cele-brate overcoming the physical limitations he had before having knee surgery.

Zych remembers waking up after sur-gery on Dec. 18, when he was so glad he could walk he de-cided he had to do some community ac-tivism.

He felt he was giv-en a second chance and decided that fun-draising would give a second chance to youth who will have a lifetime to value it

and pass it on. Zych’s self-interest

in the walk is his ad-venturous side – he has always been a hiker. Until Dec. 18, Zych had been re-stricted from any type of physical ac-tivities. After suc-cessful surgery, Zych wanted to combine his new-earned free-dom with hope for disadvantaged chil-dren.

His “I for Com-munity Project” was born and it aims to provide a framework

for the individuals, the “I’s”, who can work for the ben-efit of everyone – the community.

Secure donations to the Children’s Aid Foundation are made by clicking the do-nate tab on the web-page http://iforcom-munity.org/

Zych’s route is on Highway 3 so he can personally visit many of the small rural communities. He hopes the face-to-face connections he is able to make will

encourage people in the communities to take the next steps.

“It has been a fan-tastic journey so far from Hope to Grand Forks,” Zych said. “People will pull over on the road and offer me drinks, fruits and vegetables and talk to me about how they work in their com-munities with youth.”

Zych planned for 37 walking days with a maximum of 50 days. This flexibility is to include atten-dance at commu-

nity events, like the Canada Day parade and meeting with Mayor Brian Taylor in Grand Forks.

Zych finished by saying what many people in Grand Forks can appreci-ate: “When I entered Grand Forks it was the first day in the en-tire walk from Hope where I could walk in a T-shirt and shorts. It seems as if the sun-shine tap got turned on and the rain tap got turned off. The valley is just so beau-

Winlaw sculptor Peter Vogelaar created a small sand sculpture at the opening reception for Nelson ArtWalk last week. Over the weekend he’d have a bigger pile of sand to dig his tools into, as he also participated in the Castlegar Sandsations! event.

A 59-year-old Ross-land resident is dead following an off-road motorcycling acci-dent. Trail & Greater District RCMP and

BC Coroners Services attended the scene on July 2. Trail RCMP received a report on the morning July 3 of an apparent acciden-tal death of a dirt bike rider. The deceased, identified by the BC

Coroner’s service as Brian Hall, failed to show up at a friend’s house the previous evening after a day of dirt biking alone.

Two friends then commenced a search on Wednesday morn-ing and located Mr. Hall in a heavily treed area several kilometers from Casino, south of Trail. Scene examina-tion revealed that the man had veered into a tree while riding his dirt bike and had sus-tained an instantly fa-tal injury as result.

Due to the remote location and difficulty in accessing it, Ross-land Search and Res-cue was activated and attended the scene with a crew. The re-covery of Mr. Hall from the accident site was completed via a helicopter long-line, brought in from Rev-elstoke.

With the assistance of the Trail & Greater District RCMP, the Provincial Coroner’s office is conducting the investigation.

Health

As a community dietitian, I am o� en asked about the lat-est trends and diets. I think to get to the heart of the subject, lets put the Google search away, get back to the basics and lis-ten to our bodies. If you could ask your body what it needs to feel good and enjoy life — I think this is what it would tell you.

Eat regularly. Whether you are working, hiking or travelling, your body needs fuel every three to four hours. With-out regular fuel the body’s metabolism slows down and this can result in weight gain. Spreading your food intake through-out the day and eat-ing balanced meals of three to four of the food groups will let your body perform it’s best.

Don’t cut out the good carbohydrates. Do you ever feel your energy levels drop-ping in the a� ernoon or during an activity? It might be due to a lack of carbohydrates (o� en called carbs) to balance your meal. Carbohydrates come from the bread and cereals food group. Many diets limit this group which is an important team play-er that supplies the body with fuel and vitamins. Check out Canada’s Food Guide to learn more about developing a balanced plan for you.

Keep sugary drinks and treats in check. � ese choices have the sole purpose of pure pleasure but too much fun, too o� en can add up faster than you think. A small French

vanilla cappuccino can pack 10 teaspoons of sugar and two tea-spoons of fat; a 591 ml bottle of pop has 17 teaspoons of sugar. It’s okay to enjoy the odd sweet treat but be sure to check in with yourself and ask how o� en and what else do I enjoy that might be better for me. Cool smoothies with fresh berries, fruit, and yo-gurt with 100 per cent juice are a delicious and healthier choice.

Get a move on. Your body loves to move whenever it gets a chance. Base activi-ties on seasons to pro-vide a variety of fun activities that can keep you moving through-out the year. Activ-ity has added bene� ts that we may not o� en think about like tak-ing the time to clear

our minds, notice our surroundings, con-nect with friends and family and challeng-ing ourselves by trying something new.

Enjoy real fresh food. Nothing beats home cooked, real, lo-cally grown food. � is is the perfect time of year to enjoy fresh picked colourful pro-duce and herbs from your garden or local food markets.

If your body could talk to you right now I think it would say “don’t worry so much about the trends and the fads - feed me regularly with good, fresh, tasty food and be sure to keep me moving … and by the way thanks for listen-ing.”

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities.

Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in.

Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats.

Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help.

Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.


History/Literature

... by choosing the name Brilliant, the pacifist group wanted to erase Waterloo’s military associations.

Brilliant was previ-ously known by two other names: kp’itl’els was the Sinixt village located there.

Its translation is unknown, but Randy Bouchard and Doro-thy Kennedy write in Lakes Indian Eth-nography (1985) that their contemporary informants believed it was related to “end of a mountain range” or “come to an end.”

Kp’itl’els was soon displaced by the Doukhobor settle-ment, although in 2009 a stone monu-ment was dedicated on the flats to the last Sinixt family to live

there.In 1883, Osoyoos

judge and land and cattle baron John Carmichael Haynes (1831-88) applied to buy the land at what’s now Brilliant and had a townsite surveyed called Haynesville, but nothing came of it.

The plan was can-celled in 1913.

The Brilliant post office closed on Sep-tember 8, 1970.

Once the capital of Doukhobor in-dustry, home to the Kootenay Columbia Preserving Works, Brilliant is today pri-marily a residential community, but also boasts the Brilliant dam, Brilliant Cul-tural Centre, Verigin Memorial Park, and Brilliant suspension bridge.

Continued from P. 11

“Brilliant...”

A Castlegar au-thor’s recent biogra-phy of a distinguished relative has been named the top family history book of 2012 by the BC Genealogi-cal Society.

Sam McBride was on hand last month to receive the honour during the society’s annual book awards night in Burnaby for The Bravest Cana-dian, which examines the life of his much-decorated ancestor, Capt. Fritz Peters.

“It was quite a thrill to hear that I won first place,” McBride said. “Before the awards were announced I was among nine authors who made presenta-tions on their books.

Three other entries

were based on fam-ily letters, so it seems to be a popular ap-proach these days.”

A few years ago, McBride found a cache of letters from and about Peters that shed new light on his relative, who received multiple medals for bravery in two world wars. A local moun-tain was also named after him.

Peters also worked with British secret intelligence in Africa, developed miniature submarine technol-ogy, and pioneered the use of plastic ex-plosives and time-delay fuses. His files, however, were either destroyed or declared secret.

McBride’s book fi-nally sheds light on his mysterious rela-tive.

Through the Walls of Time

Nineteenth in an approximately alpha-betical series on West Kootenay/Boundary place names

Brilliant, at the confluence of the Kootenay and Co-lumbia rivers, was named in 1908 after Doukhobor leader Peter (Lordly) Veri-gin bought 2,700 acres of land there.

According to A.M. Evalenko in his 1913 Message of the Doukhobors, “The first [tract of land] we give the name of the Valley of Conso-lation, village of Bril-liant, from a brilliant diamond of first wa-ter, on account of the great river Columbia flowing through the land ...”

Although near the Columbia, Brilliant is actually on the Koo-tenay, and Cominco Magazine in April 1963 suggested it was the “bright racing waters” of the latter river that suggested the name to local land owner Hiram B. Landis.

Harold Webber in People and Places (1973) said Douk-hobor leader Peter (Lordly) Verigin thought of naming the area Kavkaz, after the place in Trans-caucasia where most Doukhobors had lived. Landis, howev-er, “felt this would be wrong and advised against it.

Verigin agreed and suggested Brilliant, from the brilliant, sparkling waters of the Kootenay River.”

A history of the Castlegar school dis-trict added: “Lan-dis felt the foreign sounding name would always be mispronounced and would most likely carry a stigma to it.”

Jon Kalmakoff ’s online Doukhobor Gazetteer [www.doukhobor.org/pn-details.html] says Verigin initially named the settle-ment Brilliant Chis-toy Vody, before it was shortened to

Brilliant. Retired UBC li-

brarian Jack McIn-tosh says a literal, grammatically cor-rect translation would be “Diamond of Clear Water.” “

Historically, the phrase has been com-monly used as a de-scription of diamond quality, equivalent to Diamond of the First Water in English,” he says.

The Brilliant post office opened on November 1, 1908. The earliest newspa-per reference came in the Trail News 20 days later: “The Doukhobor Soci-

ety at Waterloo have their sawmill now in operation and houses are being erected.

There is a post of-fice there, the name being Brilliant.”

The paper con-sistently referred to the area as Waterloo, despite the fact the mining ghost town was actually several kilometers down-stream.

Today it’s consid-ered part of lower Ootischenia.

George Woodcock and Ivan Avaku-movic, in their book ...The Doukhobors, suggest that ...

“Patient Hunter” a Blue Heron created for Castlegar Sculpturewalk 2012 by Kevin Kratz and James Karthein, roosts at its new South Castlegar digs, with the Castlegar News/West Kootenay Advertis-er office in the background. Patient Hunter had become a popular feature of the annual attraction in its first home – downtown out-side the RCMP detachment. Jim Sinclair

Welcome to the neighbourhood

First it was too cold and wet, then it was too hot, now Village of Warfield staff is hoping it’s just right to complete the much delayed renovations of the Centennial Pool.

Work has been progressing slowly on the pool since late April when village

works crews began stripping off the old tiles in anticipation of a full resurfacing of the 46-year-old pool.

Warfield’s chief ad-ministrative officer Vince Morelli said the public had been pa-tiently waiting for the work to be completed and the pool to open but with recent tem-peratures, patience might be wearing thin.

“People weren’t too concerned when it was raining constant-ly,” he said. “Now that it’s been 110 degrees (43 degrees Celsius) a lot of people are call-ing to find out when it’ll be open.”

The village is hop-ing the public can be patient for at least a little while longer as the work is anticipat-ed to take another two weeks to complete.

If your ear has ever been caught by the appealing sound of a plucked or bowed string enhanced by the vibration of a thin piece of carved wood or hide stretched tightly over a metal rim… if a distinctive vocal, telling a com-pelling story with both melody and harmony has ever grabbed your atten-

tion… chances are great that it was a pos-itive event you’d like to experience again.

� at infectious audio commodity is bluegrass music and it’s front and centre this weekend in Pass Creek, right next door to Castlegar. It’s the 12th annual Bluegrass Jamboree and from Friday af-ternoon to Sunday at noon, whether you’re a casual fan, hard-core zealot or even a

curious newby, you’ve got a big time oppor-tunity for a rewarding get-away.

If you happen to be a picker, you like-ly know the drill like the back of your hand already. You’re famil-iar with the routine of impromptu jams running well into the night a� er the sched-uled performances

have gotten everyone inspired.

Bluegrass mu-sic is well known and appreciated for its wholesome na-ture and the sort of well-behaved crowd it attracts. � is is true across the continent, from its birthplace in the American southeast to here in B.C. and up to Alas-ka. From hotbeds of enthusiasm in the Orient, to Europe… everywhere people enjoy hearing and playing this timeless acoustic music, they get together like an extended family.

� e members of the “Blueberry Pick-ers” are running the event.

� at’s this Friday through Sunday – a couple with a camper can stake a claim on a plot of bluegrass real estate for just $30 for the weekend. For all others, admission is by donation. � e fun starts Friday at 2 p.m.

It’s just outside Castlegar at the ac-commodating Pass Creek fairgrounds – an ideal location.

See you there! And don’t forget your thumb-picks!

Sculpture Talk

‘African Beauty’ (bronze) & ‘King Bird’ (bronze)

Descended from Benin royalty, Felix Ehis continues the long line of bronze artisans that dates back hundreds of years in the area of the Niger Delta – now part of Nigeria.

By the middle of the sixteenth cen-tury, the Benin empire covered much of the Guinea Coast in central west Africa. Artists, encouraged by the Oba (King), produced dazzling, exquisite bronze and brass works: heads, � gurines, plaques and large pictorials, mostly for the monarchy. � e sophistication of the work was outstanding – the colonizing British in the 19th century could not believe the sculptures were local and con-

cocted outlandish theories as to their origins – and continues to be now. Ehis’ two graceful works here are a testament to his ancestral lineage and the traditions and skills passed on from generation to generation.

Now residing in North York, Ontario, Ehis combines the artistic traditions he learned growing up in Nigeria with studies in industrial physics to better learn the properties and processes of bronze casting. � e result: superb bronzes that pay homage to his roots but are contemporary and modern.

‘King Bird’ is stately in its abstraction. Hollows at the head and tail provide balance and symmetry, while the elongated neck and short, sharp, in-ward beak leave a pleasant opening that compliments the work. Today’s North and South American kingbirds were originally native to Africa. In his stylised version, Ehis portrays a regal, mystical version that is part of African beliefs, as he indicates on the nameplate.

His second work displayed here is sty-listically similar but human in form. ‘African Beauty’ captures the simple, unadorned elegance of the African female. � e long neck is countered by the open shoulders below and the deep-set rounded face above. � e face features full, prominent eyes, shapely ears and parted, braided hair at the back. � e sculpture is serene and meditative, full of re� ection and contemplation. As in his piece Oracle, Ehis has conveyed the wisdom of the Benin parable, ‘ life is in the head’, in a bust celebrating the lovely counte-

nance of the African woman.

Ehis displayed both Oracle and Afri-can Beauty in the 2011 edition of the Sioux Falls, South Dakota Sculpture-walk, and he is excited about having two pieces in his inaugural appear-ance here.

“It is a real honour. I hope that those looking at my sculptures are pleased with them,” he says. “Bronze is the natural medium for me to work in. I hope the artistic traditions behind these sculptures are apparent, in ad-dition to re� ecting my own personal interpretation and style.

“From a young age I’ve been im-mersed in the Benin art tradition. My school teacher supported my talents early, and the time I spent with the late Ben Osawe (one of Nigeria’s most famous contemporary artists) was invaluable.” He smiles and concludes, “Now, all these factors plus my own foundry makes everything possible.”

‘Ghost Cat’ (bronze)

With over 25 years of sculpting prowess in a wide range of mediums – bronze, sand, ice, concrete, even edibles like pumpkins and choco-late! – Fred Dobbs has numerous awards and honours under his belt. He sculpts primarily � gurative and architectural pieces that dazzle, re-gardless of the material he is working with, and his life size rendition of a cougar does exactly that.

Entitled ‘Ghost Cat’, the almost four foot high sculpture captures the elu-sive nature of the cougar in name and in reality. One of three wild cats native to Canada, the cougar is a rarely seen, highly e� cient stalker and hunter. Healthy populations on Vancouver Island and in the Kootenays make it

an appropriate study for the Victoria-based sculptor to display here.

Dobbs’ cougar sits on its powerful haunches staring straight ahead, motionless and intently focused. Its long tail curls around the right � ank and rests behind its front paws, sitting up on the le� one slightly. ‘Ghost Cat’ captures the necessary stillness and coiled energy of the animal, ready to launch itself on its unsuspecting prey.

“Like most people, I’ve never seen a cougar in the wild, Dobbs says. “So this sculpture is done primarily from museum and anatomical studies along with descriptions from people who have seen one outside of a pre-serve or zoo. I’ve tried to capture the cat’s ability to remain absolutely fro-zen, still, relaxed, but ready to strike in a single bound if the opportunity presents itself.”

He originally envisioned the work as identical sculptures � anking a stair-case, set on wall caps as guardians cast in concrete. When invited to dis-play at this year’s event, Dobbs opted to cast it in bronze and mount it on a simple metal base. Either way, ‘Ghost Cat’ is impressively menacing and wonderfully detailed.

Finding his inspiration in the cycles of nature, mythology and legend, and even in a storybook he read and re-read to his son Shay, Dobbs combines painstaking research with artistic innovation to create his spectacular sculptures.“When I’m working in temporary mediums like sand and ice, I tend to

be more � amboyant and imagina-tive, even whimsical,” he says. “I like that these fantastical creations will provide happiness and pleasure in the here and now, then be gone. In other mediums there is a permanence that lends itself to getting the detail, scale and scope just so. I’m a perfectionist in everything I sculpt, but my imagi-nation really takes o� working with temporary materials.”

‘Ghost Cat’ displays that need for exactness and � ne detail; it’s a gor-geous study of a magni� cent, o� en maligned animal that depends on its skill as a hunter to survive in an ever- increasing urbanized landscape. Fred

Health

As a community dietitian, I am o� en asked about the lat-est trends and diets. I think to get to the heart of the subject, lets put the Google search away, get back to the basics and lis-ten to our bodies. If you could ask your body what it needs to feel good and enjoy life — I think this is what it would tell you.

Eat regularly. Whether you are working, hiking or travelling, your body needs fuel every three to four hours. With-out regular fuel the body’s metabolism slows down and this can result in weight gain. Spreading your food intake through-out the day and eat-ing balanced meals of three to four of the food groups will let your body perform it’s best.

Don’t cut out the good carbohydrates. Do you ever feel your energy levels drop-ping in the a� ernoon or during an activity? It might be due to a lack of carbohydrates (o� en called carbs) to balance your meal. Carbohydrates come from the bread and cereals food group. Many diets limit this group which is an important team play-er that supplies the body with fuel and vitamins. Check out Canada’s Food Guide to learn more about developing a balanced plan for you.

Keep sugary drinks and treats in check. � ese choices have the sole purpose of pure pleasure but too much fun, too o� en can add up faster than you think. A small French

vanilla cappuccino can pack 10 teaspoons of sugar and two tea-spoons of fat; a 591 ml bottle of pop has 17 teaspoons of sugar. It’s okay to enjoy the odd sweet treat but be sure to check in with yourself and ask how o� en and what else do I enjoy that might be better for me. Cool smoothies with fresh berries, fruit, and yo-gurt with 100 per cent juice are a delicious and healthier choice.

Get a move on. Your body loves to move whenever it gets a chance. Base activi-ties on seasons to pro-vide a variety of fun activities that can keep you moving through-out the year. Activ-ity has added bene� ts that we may not o� en think about like tak-ing the time to clear

our minds, notice our surroundings, con-nect with friends and family and challeng-ing ourselves by trying something new.

Enjoy real fresh food. Nothing beats home cooked, real, lo-cally grown food. � is is the perfect time of year to enjoy fresh picked colourful pro-duce and herbs from your garden or local food markets.

If your body could talk to you right now I think it would say “don’t worry so much about the trends and the fads - feed me reg-ularly with good, fresh, tasty food and be sure to keep me moving … and by the way thanks for listening.”

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities.

Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in.

Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats.

Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help.

Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.


ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20)Some big activations close to home will be evident now. It is yet another chapter in a series which will continue for many months and altogether indicative of a veritable metamorphosis. This change will likely impact the way you look as well as your overall outlook. Focusing to participate to direct this � ow positively is ideal and important.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21)The time has come to lay a � rmer foundation for the future. You want to extend your scope to encompass a larger vision and span of time. A consequent shift in your overall mode of perception is underway. It is in� uencing your thoughts and feelings regarding relationships. To succeed, certain modes of thought and behaviour must change.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUN 21)A Desire to create a deeper and more reliable sense of security is on your mind. There are several areas of consideration gaining your attention. A change in your overall lifestyle is implied. Since good health is a cornerstone of security, it is a top priority. It may also be time to learn new skills for future income. Stretch your mind and your comfort zone.

CANCER (JUN 21 – JUL 22)Your con� dence levels are rising and your focus is getting sharper. You have entered a time period when you will feel inspired to advance to the next level. Doing so will require extra effort. Fortunately, the impulse and energy to do so will be available to you. Still, you must cooperate consciously. The sooner you can get started the better.

LEO (JUL 22 – AUG 23)Change is the law and sometimes it moves at an accelerated pace, like now. It is likely that many fears are stirring within. The key to overcome them is to not only acknowledge and accept the current � ow of change, but to embrace it with faith and determination. It is as though you are in a grand process of graduation. Prepare, move and act to qualify for the next stage.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 22)An expansion of your overall outreach, network and/or circle of associations is underway. The biggest issue to overcome now is a tendency to dream but not act and follow through. You are meant to be in an important learning cycle, yet unless you are proactively engaged you could suffer from lack of direction. Work the angles to blaze a trail.

LIBRA (SEP 22 – OCT 22)Some fresh and fertile seeds have been planted in the garden of your public and professional life. While making good of past achievements will help, be careful not to lean on them too much. Acknowledge your will and determination to go forward with con� dence that you have a lot to offer. As well, weave in a willingness to invest as necessary for future opportunities.

SCORPIO (OCT 22 – NOV 21)A potent creative cycle has begun for you. It requires that you look to the future and be willing to take new leads. Training of some kind is implied. Spiritually, your main challenge now is to be true to your core sense of individuality. A clear re� ection of doing so will manifest as fresh starts in your attitude, philosophy habitual rhythms.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 21 – DEC 21)You have entered a deep cycle. It already began almost a year ago and will continue for a couple more yet. It implies a deep purge and puri� cation process. What used to be important and of value to you is steadily melting away. At best, all things spent, used and false will fall away and be replaced with new perspectives and orientations. These have likely already begun.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 19)The returns of past efforts and investments continue to roll in. These will re� ect back to you the quality of your choices. Due to current in� uences, increased stimulation of your most important relationships is underway. The overall tone is likely to be charged, dynamic and dramatic, perhaps even aggressive. Work within to produce outer harmony.

AQUARIUS (JAN 19 – FEB 19)A big activation of change in your daily rhythm, routine and overall lifestyle continues. You feel con� dent that there is more that you can have and achieve. Taking key calculated risks to prove your theory is on your mind. To succeed, you may have to let go of certain things, positions, situations and perhaps people. The time has come to make your move.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20)The time has come to expand your scope and vision to see a bigger picture. Yet, in order not to get overwhelmed by it, acknowl-edge yourself, your determination and resourcefulness. While you should be experiencing a steady rise in con� dence, the danger is that you will scatter your focus. Aim to express yourself on a variety of fronts, yet not too many.

Horoscope for the Week July 5, 2013Horoscope for theTip of the Week:There is something very exciting and rare in the planetary alignments now. I am referring to a Grand Trine: 3 planets each exactly 120 degrees apart creating a great triangle in the sky. Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune are the planets involved. Because these are 3 of the 5 far planets, this con� guration is rare and powerful. A ‘Trine” aspect in Astrology is linked to the element of � re and is generally considered the most creative and fortunate aspect of all. At worst, when too many Trines are present in one’s natal chart, it can produce laziness and excessive self-indulgence. In this case, each planet is pivotal. Neptune in Pisces (2011 – 2026) is in honour in its own sign and represents a process of mass spiritual awakening for all of humanity. Saturn in Scorpio (2012 – 2015) indicates where the cut is the deepest in terms of powerful change and transformation. Jupiter in Cancer as of June 25 is in one of its most auspicious sign placements. This cycle lasts for 1 year. For this reason, its in� uence is extra important right now. It will synchronize with mass emotional expression and sentiment. The recent uprising with mass emotional expression and appeal for democracy in Egypt is a good example. Jupiter will also play another key role by virtue of the fact that it will activate the ongoing Square aspect (90 degrees) between Uranus and Pluto (2011 – 2016). In that con� guration, it will contribute to a T-Square, which is a very powerful and charged energy pattern that produces change. The apex planet is where the energy is released and in this case it is Uranus in Aries. The impact of that aspect will become evident starting this month and especially in August and remain potent until April 2014. More on that next week, stay tuned!

Bronze for Kootenay U/15 soccer boysThe Kootenay

South Youth Soc-cer Association U/15 Boys captured the bronze medal this past weekend at the Les Sinnott Memorial Boys Provincial (B) Cup held in Prince George.

The Kooteany South Big Horns had three wins against just one loss in the tournament, adding to their tally of a win and two other second place finishes at other tournaments this sea-son.

The boys lost their opening game to the Royal City Westmin-ster United 4 - 1 with Mason Todevic scor-ing the only goal on a penalty kick.

Their second game,

against the Quesnel Strikers, was a blow-out as they marched their way to a 6 - 1 victory.

On Saturday, Eli Voykin scored both goals in a shutout against the Gorge FC. Sunday was an identi-cal scenario with Matt Liszt taking the lead on the two Big Horns goals.

“We picked two Nelson players this year as the Nelson District did not have enough 15-year-old boys to field a team,” said team manager Dominic Isernia, in an email. “Tristan Jinjoe broke his col-lar bone in Kalispell furing a tournament and we recruited our alternate player Akira Engelbrecht for the remaining part of the season.”

The team is a true representation of the Kootenays with players hailing from all across the region and have competed in Canada and in the United States this year.

Here’s the break-down:

From Trail: Mike Isernia, Mike Moon, Blake Sidoni and Dennis Grinblats.

Beaver Valley: Bryden Tache and Jordan Kniert.

Rossland: Nick Fantin and Rowen Stevens.

Castlegar: Mathew Liszt, Devon Dunk-ley, Eli Voykin, Mal-com Macleod and Sawyer Murdoch.

Nelson: Akira Engelbrecht and Ma-son Todevic.

Genelle: Quentien Lavorato

Front: (Kneeling) Eli Voykin, Malcom Macleod, Mason Todevic, Mike Isernia, Bryden Tache, Jordan Kniert, Sawyer Mudoch, Dennis Grinblats.

Lifestyles

It seems hard to believe that Bob Johnson and Petra Flaa embarked on a dream to establish their Erickson win-ery only in 2006. A visit today reveals a lush, well-established vineyard and a large building contain-ing a lovely tasting room, winery, barrel room and winemak-er’s quarters. Toward the rear of the long, narrow property is a residence construct-ed two years ago, now home to the expat Calgarians.

I arrived for a chat with Johnson on a pleasant weekday a� ernoon and he suggested we enjoy a glass of Gewürz-traminer on the per-gola-covered patio that a� ords a perfect 360-degree view of the surrounding area.

� e Gewürz, spicy, crisp, aromat-ic and very, very clean tasting, was the perfect match to our wide-ranging conversation, one that was interrupted several times by re-turn visitors to Bail-lie-Grohman Estate Winery who wanted to say hi to the con-genial owner.

In Johnson’s pro-fessional career he was a reservoir engi-neer for an oil com-pany and he’s been winding down that part of his life for a few years now. He has returned to Calgary for several months each winter, leaving Petra and hired help to do all the prun-ing and gear up for spring. Despite pleas to stay on, he said he is

now o� cially out of the oil biz, free to focus year-round on the winery and, even more importantly, the marketing of B-G wines.

Baillie-Grohman produced only 3,200 cases of wine in 2012, in a relatively light harvest, but Johnson expects that to jump to about 4,000 this year, still about 20 per cent short of his ultimate goal of 5,000 cases.

In addition to grapes from the Bail-lie-Grohman vine-yard, the winery con-tracts to buy grapes from a friend and neighbor across the road and has con-tracted Merlot and Cab Franc grapes from a Golden Mile grower this fall.

I asked Johnson to give me his impres-sions of the wines currently available on site and in pri-vate and VQA stores around the province (and in some Alberta locations).

2012 Gewürz: Has a little Kerner and Schoenberger includ-ed to create addition-al weight. “� is is our best Gewürztraminer to date and I’m really happy with it.”

2012 Pinot Gris:

“Another great Gris, this was 50 per cent barrel fermented.” Di� erent yeasts were used in each of the three barrels, and the results in one “were amazing”, so that yeast will be used ex-clusively in the 2013 version. Johnson said the Gris will sell out this summer.

2011 Chardon-nay: Spent a year in French oak. “In six months it will be phenomenal—it’s re-ally coming on now.” Fewer than 200 cas-es were produced, a number that will increase by about 50 per cent this year.

2011 Pinot Noir: About to replace the nearly sold out 2010, this one “has a bit of a bite and in 2-3 months will be amaz-ing.”

2012 Blanc de Noir: � is very pop-ular Rosé wine, made with Pinot Noir, is a little darker than the previous vintage, thanks to an addi-tional day of cold soaking on skins be-fore fermentation, which also brings out a cranberry compo-nent that customers rave about.

“It has our signa-ture balance, a bit sweet at the start, but

a dry � nish.” Pairs with a huge range of food dishes.

2011 Merlot-Cab Sauvignon: Made from Similkameen Valley grapes, this blend is drinking nicely now and pro-vides customers with another red to choose from.

One more tanta-lizing wine remains in racks in the barrel room. About 120 cas-es of 2010 sparkling wine continue their slow secondary fer-mentation as a tiny amount of yeast con-verts the remaining sugar.

“We should try some,” he suggested, heading toward the winery to put one in the freezer to chill it.

A few minutes later he popped the top o� and pushed the cap of dead yeast cells down the neck to pour us each a glass. Not much � zz yet—that will come in the next step, when an yet to be determined dos-age is added in the � nal stage—but an amazing wine with strawberry notes is emerging.

Credit Johnson, Flaa and Kiwi wine-maker Dan Barker for not rushing the process. It’s always been stored in low temperatures to keep the secondary fer-mentation slow.

“We could speed it up by moving it into the (warmer) win-ery, but we’re not re-ally about speeding things up,” he said.

Tentatively to be called Tête de Cu-vée, this 100 per cent Pinot Noir will be Creston Valley’s � rst commercial spar-kling wine. I can hardly wait to ring in the New Year with a glass, proposing a toast of thanks to this visionary couple who are completely fo-cused on producing premium wines, and succeeding admira-bly.

A relief to all con-cerned has thank-fully been realized in regard to a tropical mis-adventure.

Tasha Brown of Grand Forks, who went missing off the coast of Honduras last weekend, was found alive, suffer-ing from a mild case of dehydration last Wednesday, July 3.

Brown, 20, was one of eight who had set out June 29 on a boat destined for Roatan, which is considered the largest of Hondu-ras’ Bay Islands, and was stranded at sea for about four days after the boat ran out of gas.

Sculpture Talk

‘African Beauty’ (bronze) & ‘King Bird’ (bronze)

Descended from Benin royalty, Felix Ehis continues the long line of bronze artisans that dates back hundreds of years in the area of the Niger Delta – now part of Nigeria.

By the middle of the sixteenth cen-tury, the Benin empire covered much of the Guinea Coast in central west Africa. Artists, encouraged by the Oba (King), produced dazzling, exquisite bronze and brass works: heads, � gurines, plaques and large pictorials, mostly for the monarchy. � e sophistication of the work was outstanding – the colonizing British in the 19th century could not believe the sculptures were local and con-

cocted outlandish theories as to their origins – and continues to be now. Ehis’ two graceful works here are a testament to his ancestral lineage and the traditions and skills passed on from generation to generation.

Now residing in North York, Ontario, Ehis combines the artistic traditions he learned growing up in Nigeria with studies in industrial physics to better learn the properties and processes of bronze casting. � e result: superb bronzes that pay homage to his roots but are contemporary and modern.

‘King Bird’ is stately in its abstraction. Hollows at the head and tail provide balance and symmetry, while the elongated neck and short, sharp, in-ward beak leave a pleasant opening that compliments the work. Today’s North and South American kingbirds were originally native to Africa. In his stylised version, Ehis portrays a regal, mystical version that is part of African beliefs, as he indicates on the nameplate.

His second work displayed here is sty-listically similar but human in form. ‘African Beauty’ captures the simple, unadorned elegance of the African female. � e long neck is countered by the open shoulders below and the deep-set rounded face above. � e face features full, prominent eyes, shapely ears and parted, braided hair at the back. � e sculpture is serene and meditative, full of re� ection and contemplation. As in his piece Oracle, Ehis has conveyed the wisdom of the Benin parable, ‘ life is in the head’, in a bust celebrating the lovely counte-

nance of the African woman.

Ehis displayed both Oracle and Afri-can Beauty in the 2011 edition of the Sioux Falls, South Dakota Sculpture-walk, and he is excited about having two pieces in his inaugural appear-ance here.

“It is a real honour. I hope that those looking at my sculptures are pleased with them,” he says. “Bronze is the natural medium for me to work in. I hope the artistic traditions behind these sculptures are apparent, in ad-dition to re� ecting my own personal interpretation and style.

“From a young age I’ve been im-mersed in the Benin art tradition. My school teacher supported my talents early, and the time I spent with the late Ben Osawe (one of Nigeria’s most famous contemporary artists) was invaluable.” He smiles and concludes, “Now, all these factors plus my own foundry makes everything possible.”

‘Ghost Cat’ (bronze)

With over 25 years of sculpting prowess in a wide range of mediums – bronze, sand, ice, concrete, even edibles like pumpkins and choco-late! – Fred Dobbs has numerous awards and honours under his belt. He sculpts primarily � gurative and architectural pieces that dazzle, re-gardless of the material he is working with, and his life size rendition of a cougar does exactly that.

Entitled ‘Ghost Cat’, the almost four foot high sculpture captures the elu-sive nature of the cougar in name and in reality. One of three wild cats native to Canada, the cougar is a rarely seen, highly e� cient stalker and hunter. Healthy populations on Vancouver Island and in the Kootenays make it

an appropriate study for the Victoria-based sculptor to display here.

Dobbs’ cougar sits on its powerful haunches staring straight ahead, motionless and intently focused. Its long tail curls around the right � ank and rests behind its front paws, sitting up on the le� one slightly. ‘Ghost Cat’ captures the necessary stillness and coiled energy of the animal, ready to launch itself on its unsuspecting prey.

“Like most people, I’ve never seen a cougar in the wild, Dobbs says. “So this sculpture is done primarily from museum and anatomical studies along with descriptions from people who have seen one outside of a pre-serve or zoo. I’ve tried to capture the cat’s ability to remain absolutely fro-zen, still, relaxed, but ready to strike in a single bound if the opportunity presents itself.”

He originally envisioned the work as identical sculptures � anking a stair-case, set on wall caps as guardians cast in concrete. When invited to dis-play at this year’s event, Dobbs opted to cast it in bronze and mount it on a simple metal base. Either way, ‘Ghost Cat’ is impressively menacing and wonderfully detailed.

Finding his inspiration in the cycles of nature, mythology and legend, and even in a storybook he read and re-read to his son Shay, Dobbs combines painstaking research with artistic innovation to create his spectacular sculptures.“When I’m working in temporary mediums like sand and ice, I tend to

be more � amboyant and imagina-tive, even whimsical,” he says. “I like that these fantastical creations will provide happiness and pleasure in the here and now, then be gone. In other mediums there is a permanence that lends itself to getting the detail, scale and scope just so. I’m a perfectionist in everything I sculpt, but my imagi-nation really takes o� working with temporary materials.”

‘Ghost Cat’ displays that need for exactness and � ne detail; it’s a gor-geous study of a magni� cent, o� en maligned animal that depends on its skill as a hunter to survive in an ever- increasing urbanized landscape. Fred

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20)Some big activations close to home will be evident now. It is yet another chapter in a series which will continue for many months and altogether indicative of a veritable metamorphosis. This change will likely impact the way you look as well as your overall outlook. Focusing to participate to direct this � ow positively is ideal and important.

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21)The time has come to lay a � rmer foundation for the future. You want to extend your scope to encompass a larger vision and span of time. A consequent shift in your overall mode of perception is underway. It is in� uencing your thoughts and feelings regarding relationships. To succeed, certain modes of thought and behaviour must change.

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUN 21)A Desire to create a deeper and more reliable sense of security is on your mind. There are several areas of consideration gaining your attention. A change in your overall lifestyle is implied. Since good health is a cornerstone of security, it is a top priority. It may also be time to learn new skills for future income. Stretch your mind and your comfort zone.

CANCER (JUN 21 – JUL 22)Your con� dence levels are rising and your focus is getting sharper. You have entered a time period when you will feel inspired to advance to the next level. Doing so will require extra effort. Fortunately, the impulse and energy to do so will be available to you. Still, you must cooperate consciously. The sooner you can get started the better.

LEO (JUL 22 – AUG 23)Change is the law and sometimes it moves at an accelerated pace, like now. It is likely that many fears are stirring within. The key to overcome them is to not only acknowledge and accept the current � ow of change, but to embrace it with faith and determination. It is as though you are in a grand process of graduation. Prepare, move and act to qualify for the next stage.

VIRGO (AUG 23 – SEP 22)An expansion of your overall outreach, network and/or circle of associations is underway. The biggest issue to overcome now is a tendency to dream but not act and follow through. You are meant to be in an important learning cycle, yet unless you are proactively engaged you could suffer from lack of direction. Work the angles to blaze a trail.

LIBRA (SEP 22 – OCT 22)Some fresh and fertile seeds have been planted in the garden of your public and professional life. While making good of past achievements will help, be careful not to lean on them too much. Acknowledge your will and determination to go forward with con� dence that you have a lot to offer. As well, weave in a willingness to invest as necessary for future opportunities.

SCORPIO (OCT 22 – NOV 21)A potent creative cycle has begun for you. It requires that you look to the future and be willing to take new leads. Training of some kind is implied. Spiritually, your main challenge now is to be true to your core sense of individuality. A clear re� ection of doing so will manifest as fresh starts in your attitude, philosophy habitual rhythms.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 21 – DEC 21)You have entered a deep cycle. It already began almost a year ago and will continue for a couple more yet. It implies a deep purge and puri� cation process. What used to be important and of value to you is steadily melting away. At best, all things spent, used and false will fall away and be replaced with new perspectives and orientations. These have likely already begun.

CAPRICORN (DEC 21 – JAN 19)The returns of past efforts and investments continue to roll in. These will re� ect back to you the quality of your choices. Due to current in� uences, increased stimulation of your most important relationships is underway. The overall tone is likely to be charged, dynamic and dramatic, perhaps even aggressive. Work within to produce outer harmony.

AQUARIUS (JAN 19 – FEB 19)A big activation of change in your daily rhythm, routine and overall lifestyle continues. You feel con� dent that there is more that you can have and achieve. Taking key calculated risks to prove your theory is on your mind. To succeed, you may have to let go of certain things, positions, situations and perhaps people. The time has come to make your move.

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20)The time has come to expand your scope and vision to see a bigger picture. Yet, in order not to get overwhelmed by it, acknowl-edge yourself, your determination and resourcefulness. While you should be experiencing a steady rise in con� dence, the danger is that you will scatter your focus. Aim to express yourself on a variety of fronts, yet not too many.

Horoscope for the Week July 5, 2013Horoscope for theTip of the Week:There is something very exciting and rare in the planetary alignments now. I am referring to a Grand Trine: 3 planets each exactly 120 degrees apart creating a great triangle in the sky. Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune are the planets involved. Because these are 3 of the 5 far planets, this con� guration is rare and powerful. A ‘Trine” aspect in Astrology is linked to the element of � re and is generally considered the most creative and fortunate aspect of all. At worst, when too many Trines are present in one’s natal chart, it can produce laziness and excessive self-indulgence. In this case, each planet is pivotal. Neptune in Pisces (2011 – 2026) is in honour in its own sign and represents a process of mass spiritual awakening for all of humanity. Saturn in Scorpio (2012 – 2015) indicates where the cut is the deepest in terms of powerful change and transformation. Jupiter in Cancer as of June 25 is in one of its most auspicious sign placements. This cycle lasts for 1 year. For this reason, its in� uence is extra important right now. It will synchronize with mass emotional expression and sentiment. The recent uprising with mass emotional expression and appeal for democracy in Egypt is a good example. Jupiter will also play another key role by virtue of the fact that it will activate the ongoing Square aspect (90 degrees) between Uranus and Pluto (2011 – 2016). In that con� guration, it will contribute to a T-Square, which is a very powerful and charged energy pattern that produces change. The apex planet is where the energy is released and in this case it is Uranus in Aries. The impact of that aspect will become evident starting this month and especially in August and remain potent until April 2014. More on that next week, stay tuned!

A Trail tourist vis-iting the city through its website or a resi-dent checking up on current events will soon be able to do so with more ease.

Trail council has dedicated $50,000 from this year’s bud-get to revamp www.trail.ca because it sees the importance and value in an up-to-date, user friendly site that is on par with other munici-palities, said Andrea

Jolly, Trail’s commu-nication and events coordinator.

“Because online communication and information is the No. 1 resource for most people, it is im-portant the city’s site is structured to han-dle all of its informa-tion,” she said.

“The site is cur-rently outdated and unable to accom-modate some of the newer applications available.”

The improved site will give the city more choice in appli-

cations, will be easy to navigate and will tout a modern look, she added.

The hope is that it will also lend itself to promoting the city through branding, which in tern will at-tract new people to the Silver City.

Jolly and Duane Birnie, Trail’s in-formation systems coordinator, plan to pick a candidate for the new design shortly with the in-tention to have the new site live by next year.

With the arrival of warmer weather, many Canadians will be spending time out-doors to play, garden, or start home reno-vations – but some could be placing themselves at risk of the vaccine-prevent-able disease, tetanus, if they are not up to date with their immu-nizations.

Tetanus is an acute and often fatal dis-ease caused by a toxin released by bacteria present in our envi-ronment. Most in-dividuals associate tetanus infection with rusty nails. While this may be true, tetanus infection can also occur from a minor scrape or puncture while gardening, or renovating, or even an animal bite. The bacteria that cause the disease tend to live in dirt, dust and soil and can enter the body through breaks in the skin or wounds caused by contami-nated objects. The toxin that is released by the bacteria blocks normal control of nerve reflexes in the spinal column, result-ing in painful muscles spasms that can affect

the ability to breathe. Immunize Canada

reminds Canadians about the importance of being up to date on their tetanus booster. “The Canadian Im-munization Guide recommends that all Canadians receive a tetanus booster every ten years,” says Dr. Susan Bowles, Chair of Immunize Canada. “The tetanus booster is safe and effective, and free for all Cana-dians, so there is no

reason why anyone should be unprotect-ed,” states Dr. Bowles.

“At the same time, it is important for Canadians to be pro-active about their health,” says Dr. Shelly McNeil, Vice-Chair of Immunize Canada. “Now is the perfect time for Canadians to talk to their doctor, nurse, pharmacist or local public health of-fice about being up to date on their tetanus immunization.”

Welcome to the neighbourhood

First it was too cold and wet, then it was too hot, now Village of Warfield staff is hoping it’s just right to complete the much delayed renovations of the Centennial Pool.

Work has been progressing slowly on the pool since late April when village

works crews began stripping off the old tiles in anticipation of a full resurfacing of the 46-year-old pool.

Warfield’s chief ad-ministrative officer Vince Morelli said the public had been pa-tiently waiting for the work to be completed and the pool to open but with recent tem-peratures, patience might be wearing thin.

“People weren’t too concerned when it was raining constant-ly,” he said. “Now that it’s been 110 degrees (43 degrees Celsius) a lot of people are call-ing to find out when it’ll be open.”

The village is hop-ing the public can be patient for at least a little while longer as the work is antici-pated to take another two weeks to com-

If your ear has ever been caught by the appealing sound of a plucked or bowed string enhanced by the vibration of a thin piece of carved wood or hide stretched tightly over a metal rim… if a distinctive vocal, telling a com-pelling story with both melody and harmony has ever grabbed your atten-

tion… chances are great that it was a pos-itive event you’d like to experience again.

� at infectious audio commodity is bluegrass music and it’s front and centre this weekend in Pass Creek, right next door to Castlegar. It’s the 12th annual Bluegrass Jamboree and from Friday af-ternoon to Sunday at noon, whether you’re a casual fan, hard-core zealot or even a

curious newby, you’ve got a big time oppor-tunity for a rewarding get-away.

If you happen to be a picker, you likely know the drill like the back of your hand already. You’re famil-iar with the routine of impromptu jams running well into the night a� er the sched-uled performances

have gotten everyone inspired.

Bluegrass music is well known and appreciated for its wholesome nature and the sort of well-behaved crowd it at-tracts. � is is true across the continent, from its birthplace in the American south-east to here in B.C. and up to Alaska. From hotbeds of en-thusiasm in the Ori-ent, to Europe… everywhere people enjoy hearing and playing this timeless acoustic music, they get together like an extended family.

� e members of the “Blueberry Pick-ers” are running the event.

� at’s this Friday through Sunday – a couple with a camper can stake a claim on a plot of bluegrass real estate for just $30 for the weekend. For all others, admission is by donation. � e fun starts Friday at 2 p.m.

It’s just outside Castlegar at the ac-commodating Pass Creek fairgrounds – an ideal location.

See you there! And don’t forget your thumb-picks!

Bronze for Kootenay U/15 soccer boysThe Kootenay

South Youth Soc-cer Association U/15 Boys captured the bronze medal this past weekend at the Les Sinnott Memorial Boys Provincial (B) Cup held in Prince George.

The Kooteany South Big Horns had three wins against just one loss in the tournament, adding to their tally of a win and two other second place finishes at other tournaments this sea-son.

The boys lost their opening game to the Royal City Westmin-ster United 4 - 1 with Mason Todevic scor-ing the only goal on a penalty kick.

Their second game,

against the Quesnel Strikers, was a blow-out as they marched their way to a 6 - 1 victory.

On Saturday, Eli Voykin scored both goals in a shutout against the Gorge FC. Sunday was an identi-cal scenario with Matt Liszt taking the lead on the two Big Horns goals.

“We picked two Nelson players this year as the Nelson District did not have enough 15-year-old boys to field a team,” said team manager Dominic Isernia, in an email. “Tristan Jinjoe broke his col-lar bone in Kalispell furing a tournament and we recruited our alternate player Akira Engelbrecht for the remaining part of the season.”

The team is a true representation of the Kootenays with players hailing from all across the region and have competed in Canada and in the United States this year.

Here’s the break-down:

From Trail: Mike Isernia, Mike Moon, Blake Sidoni and Dennis Grinblats.

Beaver Valley: Bryden Tache and Jordan Kniert.

Rossland: Nick Fantin and Rowen Stevens.

Castlegar: Mathew Liszt, Devon Dunk-ley, Eli Voykin, Mal-com Macleod and Sawyer Murdoch.

Nelson: Akira Engelbrecht and Ma-son Todevic.

Genelle: Quentien Lavorato

Front: (Kneeling) Eli Voykin, Malcom Macleod, Mason Todevic, Mike Isernia, Bryden Tache, Jordan Kniert, Sawyer Mudoch, Dennis Grinblats. Standing: (Coach) Neil Moon, Kevin Nutini, Quentin Lavorato, Blake Sidoni, Akira Engelbrecht, Nicholas Fantin, Sean Hogarth, Mathew Liszt, Mike Moon, Rowen Stevens, Devon Dunkley, (Asst.

Lifestyles

It seems hard to believe that Bob Johnson and Petra Flaa embarked on a dream to establish their Erickson win-ery only in 2006. A visit today reveals a lush, well-established vineyard and a large building containing a lovely tasting room, winery, barrel room and winemaker’s quarters. Toward the rear of the long, nar-row property is a res-idence constructed two years ago, now home to the expat Calgarians.

I arrived for a chat with Johnson on a pleasant weekday a� ernoon and he suggested we enjoy a glass of Gewürz-traminer on the per-gola-covered patio that a� ords a perfect 360-degree view of the surrounding area.

� e Gewürz, spicy, crisp, aromatic and very, very clean tast-ing, was the perfect match to our wide-ranging conversation, one that was inter-rupted several times by return visitors to Baillie-Grohman Estate Winery who wanted to say hi to the congenial owner.

In Johnson’s pro-fessional career he was a reservoir engi-neer for an oil com-pany and he’s been winding down that part of his life for a few years now. He has returned to Calgary for several months each winter, leaving Petra and hired help to do all the prun-ing and gear up for spring. Despite pleas to stay on, he said he is now o� cially out of

the o i l

biz, free to focus year-round on the winery and, even more importantly, the marketing of B-G wines.

Baillie-Grohman produced only 3,200 cases of wine in 2012, in a relatively light harvest, but Johnson expects that to jump to about 4,000 this year, still about 20 per cent short of his ultimate goal of 5,000 cases.

In addition to grapes from the B a i l l i e - G r o h m a n vineyard, the win-ery contracts to buy grapes from a friend and neighbor across the road and has con-tracted Merlot and Cab Franc grapes from a Golden Mile grower this fall.

I asked Johnson to give me his impres-sions of the wines currently available on site and in pri-vate and VQA stores around the province (and in some Alberta locations).

2012 Gewürz: Has a little Kerner and Schoenberger includ-ed to create addition-al weight. “� is is our best Gewürztraminer to date and I’m really happy with it.”

2012 Pinot Gris:

“Another great Gris, this was 50 per cent barrel fermented.” Di� erent yeasts were used in each of the three barrels, and the results in one “were amazing”, so that yeast will be used ex-clusively in the 2013 version. Johnson said the Gris will sell out this summer.

2011 Chardon-nay: Spent a year in French oak. “In six months it will be phenomenal—it’s re-ally coming on now.” Fewer than 200 cases were produced, a number that will in-crease by about 50 per cent this year.

2011 Pinot Noir: About to replace the nearly sold out 2010, this one “has a bit of a bite and in 2-3 months will be amaz-ing.”

2012 Blanc de Noir: � is very pop-ular Rosé wine, made with Pinot Noir, is a little darker than the previous vintage, thanks to an addi-tional day of cold soaking on skins be-fore fermentation, which also brings out a cranberry compo-nent that customers rave about.

“It has our signa-ture balance, a bit sweet at the start, but

a dry � nish.” Pairs with a huge range of food dishes.

2011 Merlot-Cab Sauvignon: Made from Similkameen Valley grapes, this blend is drinking nicely now and pro-vides customers with another red to choose from.

One more tanta-lizing wine remains in racks in the bar-rel room. About 120 cases of 2010 spar-kling wine continue their slow secondary fermentation as a tiny amount of yeast converts the remain-ing sugar.

“We should try some,” he suggested, heading toward the winery to put one in the freezer to chill it.

A few minutes later he popped the top o� and pushed the cap of dead yeast cells down the neck to pour us each a glass. Not much � zz yet—that will come in the next step, when an yet to be determined dos-age is added in the � nal stage—but an amazing wine with strawberry notes is emerging.

Credit Johnson, Flaa and Kiwi wine-maker Dan Barker for not rushing the process. It’s always been stored in low temperatures to keep the secondary fer-mentation slow.

“We could speed it up by moving it into the (warmer) win-ery, but we’re not re-ally about speeding things up,” he said.

Tentatively to be called Tête de Cu-vée, this 100 per cent Pinot Noir will be Creston Valley’s � rst commercial spar-kling wine. I can hardly wait to ring in the New Year with a glass, proposing a toast of thanks to this visionary couple who are completely fo-cused on producing premium wines, and succeeding admira-bly.
