Seeks sidewalks

Editor, Castlegar News:

This is a letter to express
my reaction to the’ City of
Castlegar building sidewalks
up in the new subdivision by
the Kinnaird Park in Castle-
gar North.

Now that we are one city,
with south and north Castle-
gar, the taxpayers in north
Castlegar seem to he for-
gotten when it comes to
money spent in our area.

I have lived on Second
Street since 1950 formerly
Main Street, and I still do not
have a sidewalk to walk on,
when I walk up town, lama
senior citizen and figure out
how much taxes we paid
since arriving at this location
until I became a senior citi-
zen, 3

Mayor Moore and the
members of city council will
wait until a senior citizen
gets killed on this street by
some reckless speeding teen-
ager. The only time I see the
RCMP on this street is

around 7 a.m. when every-
body is in bed sound asleep,

Over half of the people whe
walk this street are senior -
citizens and they do not reach
a sidewalk until they get to
the Kinsmen Park by the li-
brary. J

Tm sure all the residents of
Second Street will agree with
me.

I doubt if the sidewalk up
in the south end of Castlegar
going up that steep hill will
ever be used. Young people
never walk they jump in
their cars and speed away.

Going out at night on this
street is taking a chance on
getting hit and maybe killed.

Maybe City Hall will de-
cide to build us a sidewalk

Mark Mealing, folklorist and poet is the Twentieth Century,

man in this, the first poem in “Coyote’s Running Here” his
own renditions of native folk It's the th century

_ and yet the coyote symbol of an ancient culture, is always with

us, alongside us, “cresting. the road,” running in and out of our
western thought; the andi ing of tho old and
new.

The coyote, according to Mark, is a “trickster” and appears
in native literature of the Great Basin Culteral region, an area
which extends from the southern Kootenays to California.

‘This type of personality is “unfamiliar to European tradition,” -

he says. “The only thing that comes close to resembling this is
the clown.”

Mark, who has done extensive research on-the coyote
image, was initially attracted to him because of his “moral .

totality.” In other words he is “totally good and ‘totally bad
and eveything in between.”

Mark explained that the native moral view runs counter. to
our western view of good and-bad and black and white. In
“Coyote's Running Here,” he has attempted to offer modern
reworkings of ancient native stories. -

-Mark’s bookshelves overflow with volumes on Canadian’

culture and folklore, and he.showed me the one-book from
which most of his stories come; a dusty, green volume
published in 1918 called “Kutenai Tales.” This book includes
the native texts as well as the English translations.

Not many people would pick’ up: this: tome for a casual’

evening of reading. Many, however, might pick up Mark's

attractive paperback. His purpose, he said in “Coyote's:

Running Here” was “to go back to the native word order.and
still make it flow in English.”

other members of the Portuguese
community in the East Kootenays,
he's developed his own method of
fighting inflation at.the liquor. store:
he makes his own, using techniques
‘that have been passed down from
father to son for. generations.

“Making our own wine is not so
much a way to save money as a
part of our culture. We do it’ ’

_ because it’s fun and brings’
everybody together,” says Chaves, a
foreman at Celgar Lumber who :-
‘came to Canada from Portugal in

“the early Sixties.

Together with his father and
brother, who both happen to live on
the’same street In Castlegar, he
makes about 75 gallons of wine a
year, “about half what we used to
make,” he says.

They start each’ September, as
soon as the shipment of grapes .
from California arrives at the local
supermarket. The grapes are first
crushed and then put through a
Press to squeeze the remaining juice

* from the skins: Up to 10 family

members get involved in the
process as the grape juice is -
transferred into 45-gallon oak casks.
These will be left next.tothe .
basement furnace for four or five
days, an idea] atmosphere to speed
the fermentation process. Poured
into specially-prepared casks, the
wine is left to age for several
months before it is decanted into
smaller casks to remove sediments.

“Because we're Portuguese, we’, °
like a mellow, smooth wine with .
our meals. So we always use z
Zinfandel grapes for our red wine, °
and Muscatel for our white,".he — °
adds.

Last year's price of $12.25 fora
36-pound box was about three or

four times what local winemakers ”
paid only 10 years ago, “but it’s still
much cheaper than. something you
would buy in a store,” he maintains.

At about $1.25 per. oné-l litre ae
bottle, his home brew is only'a
fraction of the cost of a comparable
commercial product.’““And It always
tastes much better than anything

you can buy."" he says.

Despite the size of the
winemaking community In
Castlegar, there are no competitions
to determine who can produc
best quality wine. :

“Péople here don't makeiwi
win awards. They do-it becaus
their families-have been doing: it
years, And it's.a kind. of a hobby -
with us — one that gets everyone .
involved in doing someting
together.”

As he points out, top quality wine.
doesn’t just happen by accident. It --

takes the combined skills of a
master craftsman, perfect timing
and dedication to the art before
grapes can-be transformed into a.
superior product.

Chaves maintains there are no
special tricks of the trade, just
commonsense techniques that have’
been handed down from father to
son for generations. He offers these
tips for the novice winemaker.

¢ Always start with top quality
grapes, never concentrate. You and
your guests will be able.to tell the
difference,

© After'the grapes have been
pressed, never add sugar or yeast to
start them fermenting. Wine grapes
have plenty of natural ingredients
to do it on their own. .”

¢ Winemakers always,use wooden
casks, preferably oak. Aged .wood
