The city is forging a new educational part-nership with Selkirk College.
After the regional college approached the city’s recreational department earlier this year with the seeds of the new partnership, council gave its blessing and financial impe-tus to the notion.
On Monday night council waived the $700 in associated fees for rental of the Rossland Arena lounge, to encourage the development of an “education partnership” with Selkirk College.
The move to welcome Selkirk will open a door to add substance to what Rossland could potentially offer, said councilor Jody Blomme, and that ultimately could be worth more than the cost of the rental fee.
She saw intrinsic value in the city becom-ing an extra satellite to the college, already represented in Nelson, Grand Forks, Trail and Nakusp.
“It could potentially bring in more money and value to the community,” she said. “We will ultimately get more money and opportu-nity if we say yes to it.”
But the city was trying to make its facilities pay for themselves, said councilor Kathy Moore, and the decision was contrary to that sentiment.

REEL youth fiLm fEstivaL
The snow has begun to fall, and now another sign of the season is just around the corner: Rossland’s annual Homespun Christmas Craft Fair will be taking place Saturday, Nov. 16 at the Prestige Mountain Resort.
This annual event is one of the most heavily attended craft fairs in the area, drawing artisans from all over the West Kootenays, said Sonia Tavares, Success By 6 manager—the group that’s running the Christmas
fair this year.“It’s a big event,” she said. “Last
year they had almost one thousand people over the course of the day, and there’s always a long list of arti-sans trying to get in. It’s highly sought after by the vendors.”
Just under 40 artisans will have home-made wares on sale ranging from Christmas ornaments, pottery, chocolates, painting, glass, jewelry, bath products and more.
“It’s a great way to get a head start on that Christmas list,” said Tavares. “There’s really high quali-ty work on sale at good prices, and
all made here in the Kootenays.”Profits from this year’s event will
all go to Success By 6, the volunteer group that has agreed to run the 2013 fair.
The group is working to raise money for children and family pro-grams in the area.
Doors are open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and admission in $3, with chil-dren under six getting in free. Admission also gets entry for door-prizes provided by the vendors.

Rosslanders will have a daily internal shuttle looping thru Rossland up to the Red Mountain neighbourhood this winter.
It will run on a continuous scheduled basis from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The schedule and route are expected to be announced soon. And yes, it will still be free.
Tourism Rossland completed the request for proposals process and the shuttle contract has been awarded to Mountain Shuttle and Natasha Lockey.
However, Tourism Rossland is still waiting from the province of B.C. to find out if it has doubled the Resort Municipality Funding which would allow the bus service to be extended until 10 p.m. in the evening.
Originally, Tourism Rossland was promised a response by Oct. 31, however, the province has now said Nov. 14.
IN BRIEFWinter shuttle contract awarded
Tourism Rossland in association with fund-ing from Kootenay Rockies Tourism, Red Mountain Resort and Big Red Cats have created a new lure publication for distribution at ski shows and other winter events.
It is different from the vacation guide in that it is not advertisement-based, nor is it a listing of all businesses. Instead, the publica-tion is an “appeal-ing” brochure which included all of Rossland’s winter charms, with the intention of driving more destination traffic.
“These have been really well received at the ski shows as we had one brochure to promote all of our activities and also included the new Red Mountain map,” said Tourism Rossland executive director Deanne Steven.
The brochure can be seen online here: http://issuu.com/tourismrossland/docs/red_rossland_brochure_winter_2013_2
New vacation guide published
Broadband stalled by Fortis strike
If broadband is on your Christmas Wish List this year, there is still a small chance that Santa will deliver.
According to city councilor Jody Blomme, the Columbia Basin Broadband Corporation (CBBC) has set a tentative time-line for delivery of the service to Rossland, with the goal of having broadband internet up and running at City Hall by Dec. 31.
Under the terms of the plan, the south side of Columbia will be connected to the network first, with the hope of having the north side completed by spring. Building to the water treatment plant will not be completed until the summer of next year.
To meet these objectives, the CBBC will begin digging this month. There is only a minimal amount of ground work required, but it will be a race to get it completed before
Rossland is covered in snow and ice.
Broadband’s major obstacle is not the winter freeze, how-ever. The most immediate bar-rier to meeting the timeline is the continuing labour dispute at Fortis BC. Although pole permits have been obtained, fibre cannot be installed as long as the job action continues.
“And once the work crews are mobilized,” said Blomme, “installing poles for broadband is not likely to be a priority.”
With no option but to wait and see whether Santa can sort things out at Fortis, the CBBC is looking ahead; doing an inven-tory of schools and government buildings that are part of an existing network, in addition to surveying community services within the Columbia Basin with the view of forming part-nerships to increase efficiency and feasibility.
In Nova Scotia, five munici-palities came together to share broadband service, resulting in huge cost savings in a model
that CBBC hopes to replicate. Eventually, broadband is
expected to generate revenue—which will be shared between the Internet service provider, CBBC, and the municipality—but for now, Rossland is still hoping for more funding in addition to the money already put up by the city and a $50,000 grant from Southern Interior Development Initiative Trust.
Blomme is also continuing discussion with the province, who indicated interest in sup-porting the city’s broadband initiative at the Union of BC Municipalities convention in September.
“They may be able to con-nect fibre to the provincial buildings in town,” said Blomme, “which would help us increase the reach of our net-work sooner than anticipated.”
You may have to look close-ly to find fibre optic cable under the tree this year, but if the CBBC can deliver on it’s pro-posed timeline, 2014 will be the year of broadband for Rossland.

“And here is an enterprise that brings in money and, as far as I can tell, we don’t get any of it,” she said. “I’m not sure what the benefit for us is in the long term.”
Moore said the city needed to charge something so as to avoid establishing the precedence that there was no such thing as a free lunch from the City of Rossland.
“I think we have some obligation to get a return on our facilities,” she said.
Selkirk College would like a greater pres-ence in the smaller communities within their catchment area and as a result approached the city’s recreation department to assist with program delivery in Rossland.
“Selkirk College is a much larger organiza-tion and already has many of the programs and Instructors in place that Rossland Recreation does not,” read a city staff report.
“It is a good fit for Selkirk College to bring their programs into our community to ensure that we have a wide range of courses, includ-ing adult education courses that are difficult for us to offer.”
The development of the partnership was within the current focus of the Sustainability Commission’s interest to promote lifelong learning in Rossland, including adult, college and university level education, city staff noted.
Although under the guise of learning, the courses were recreational in nature, said Mayor Greg Granstrom.
“So we have a lack of a facility with respect to recreation, other than this one.”
Selkirk was looking to host French level 1 and 2, Spanish level 1 and 2, digital camera level 1, advanced camera level 2, Foodsafe, babysitters course, CPR, a standard First Aid with CPR course, Stalking the Useful Wild and Marketsafe.
The city will also be working with Selkirk to create a “First Aid Week” in April that would have the community participate at various levels of first aid awareness and edu-cation. The college will also be advertising the “partnership in community education” in their brochure and the city will be listing the Rossland courses in its brochure.

Nothing says Rossland like a little outdoor adventure. The city and its populace breath outdoor
adventure, and for most it is the reason they live here, and have stayed.
On Wednesday when the curtain rose for the latest installment of the Rossland Mountain Film Festival, much of what Rosslanders do, and aspire to do, was revealed in a eclectic collection of nearly 30 films.
Unlike action films, outdoor adven-ture films often use their action scenes to display and explore exotic locations in an energetic way. And the Rossland film festival does that and, as a result, has set the standard to unite friends, family, artists, athletes and activists to celebrate the core essence of human existence (and Rossland existence).
Through the craftsmanship of award-winning filmmakers and passionate sto-rytellers, the film festival allows people to explore the far-flung reaches of the Earth and access deeper levels of inter-nal wisdom drawn from pure adven-ture.
Although Rosslanders live outdoor adventure all year round, head inside for a little adventure during this five-day festival this weekend.

Rousing the Rabble

An admission on climate change
Is the recent admission by Danielle Smith, leader of the Wildrose Party in
Alberta a sign that right of centre politicians in Canada are starting to realize that they can’t deny what is hap-pening as a result of global warming.
On Oct. 25 Smith, a pro-fessed Libertarian, isaid, “I accept that climate change is a reality. I accept that there is a human influence on it. I leave the debate about the details to the science about (to) what extent it is and how fast it is occurring.”
The statement is soft but it is an indication of a major change of thinking by a party leader who lives in Alberta where the production of oil from the tar sands and gas from fracking are huge eco-nomic drivers and polluters.
Smith may have changed her position on climate change by reading the 36-page report published recently by the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC). Perhaps she did read it and was convinced by what it says.
The panel of scientists who wrote the report gath-ered information on global warming and weather pat-terns from scientists around the world.
They sifted through thou-sands of pages looking for commonalities among the findings.
Their conclusions were: that the warming of the cli-mate is unequivocal; that human influence on the cli-mate system is clear; and that changes in temperature, precipitation, weather extremes, and sea level are imminent.
The information is truly daunting. Humans now play the lead part in climate change and their influence is dramatic.
Billions of tons of carbon pollution are put into the atmosphere annually with catastrophic impacts.
The oceans are warming and becoming more acidic. Extreme weather events are occurring with greater fre-quency and they are more destructive.
Land-based ice in the
form of glaciers and polar icecaps is melting and caus-ing an increase in sea levels.
People who continue to deny that climate change is real will argue that there is really nothing to worry about.
The earth has been warm-ing and cooling for millions of years. However, there is a difference this time.
It has taken only 100 years to push the temperature up by almost a degree.
Four days after Smith’s admission on Oct. 25, the B.C. government announced the signing of the Pacific Coast Action Plan, an agree-ment with Washington, Oregon and California that promises a coordination of their actions to fight climate change.
Premier Christy Clark did not attend the signing cere-mony. Mary Polak, Environment Minister, attended in her place.
Polak is reported to have said that the agreement was “great news.” It may well be if the states and the province actually take action .
Clark is rather lukewarm on initiatives to deal with cli-mate change in B.C.
She, deputy premier, Rich
Coleman, and now Gordon Wilson, are busy marketing liquified natural gas (LNG), an industry that could even-tually produce create more greenhouse gas emissions that the Alberta tar sands operation.
Climate change has pre-sented us with challenges that we have never had before and technological solutions are being sought and their is a heightened interest in geoengineering.
Two technologies that are being discussed are carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and solar radiation management (SDR).
CDR entails the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere; SDR entails the reflection of inbound sunlight.
Both avoid the real issue which is the production of our carbon-dependent soci-ety which produces the greenhouse gases, and nei-ther has been assessed in terms of their risks.
Ordinary Canadians must not lose sight of the key mes-sage in the IPCC report. We must reduce the billions of tonnes of carbon we put into the atmosphere annually.

NewsIN BRIEF
Gardeners and golfers had almost ideal condi-tions throughout October because the month was one of the driest on record with plenty of sunshine.Monthly statistics provided by the Centre’s weather services in Castlegar show the region received 7.4 mil-limetres of rain in October, which is 15 per cent of the average 48 mm.
The month was the fourth driest on record with most of the rain fall-ing during a brief band of afternoon showers on Oct. 7 and an evening down-pour of 2.6 mm on Oct. 26, said Ron Lakeman, the Centre’s forecaster in his month end report.
Lakeman noted that past dry Octobers were in 2002, 1987, and 1974, with 2.2 mm, 5 mm, and 3.8 mm of precipation respectively.
Although the mean monthly temperature was close to normal, a high pressure system during the first week of the month brought sunshine and the warmest temperature, 20.7 C on Oct. 6., but well short of the record high of 27.2 in 1980.
The month ended on a cool note with the coolest temperature of October recorded on Oct. 30 when it dipped to -4.6 C. An upper level flow brought a significant drop in temper-ature and 30 centimetres of snow on the mountains between on the weekend.

Re: No one thought to tell the province the city only has one school left.
Based on applications submitted from each PAC, the Ministry of Education provided gaming grants to both MacLean Elementary School PAC and the Rossland Secondary School PAC.
As PAC grants are based on the previous year’s enrolment, it hap-pens sometimes, that an existing PAC will apply for a grant and then distribute it to the school which receives their former stu-dents. The province has encouraged this process in the past, because it doesn’t get information on the redistribution of students until very late in the year—long after the PACs need this funding.
Both PACs have received the funds and are redistributing the funds to the final locations of the students.
Clarification
She may have a similar name as the man she hopes to replace, but Margaret Maximenko is looking at building her own name in federal politics.
On Nov. 4, Maximenko announced her intention to run for the NDP nomination in the newly named riding South Okanagan West Kootenay (SOWK).
The federal riding is cur-rently called B.C. Southern Interior and represented by NDP Member of Parliament (MP) Alex Atamanenko, who recently announced he was retiring at the end of his cur-rent term.
“I’ve been a long time activist,” said Maximenko. “I came to Canada as an immi-grant at the age of nine; I understand what this coun-try has to offer and what it has provided the citizens of this country for a long time. I’ve been watching that dis-integrate and it’s been caus-ing me some distress. We can do better. I don’t believe I have all the answers – but I believe I can be part of the solution.”
Maximenko said she’s been recruited many times over the years to go into fed-eral politics, and she’s also been a recruiter.
“I think it’s a great oppor-tunity to represent this area,”
she said. “I have a lot of experience in the role of rep-resenting constituents. The time is right for me.”
Maximenko grew up in a political family with a strong political culture. She was 16 when she was recruited by Stanley Orrice to run her first campaign.
“The bug was set,” she said. “Although I didn’t get back into it in a big way until 1986 when I began more campaign work, it snow-balled from there.”
In 1990, Maximenko was nominated and won for Area C (Christina Lake) director for the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary and she really enjoyed that time in office.
“That was a wonderful job with great opportuni-ties,” she said. “Through that I was selected as the local government spokesperson for the commission on resources and the environ-ment, which Mike Harcourt and Stephen Owen set up to attempt to quell the war in the woods.”
The commission was a multi-stake holder process that lasted over two years and Maximenko was select-ed to represent the five dis-tricts that made up the southeastern quarter of the province.”
Maximenko was born in Oakland, California and moved to Grand Forks at the
age of nine with her family. She began her business
career as a property manager at the age of 20. With her husband, she eventually ended up operating a retail operation, three contracting companies and a manufac-turing plant, which employed over 100 people over four years.
Maximenko knows that taking over from Atamanenko will be a daunt-ing task for anyone, but she is eager to try.
“Alex Atamanenko leaves an amazing legacy that would be my honour to con-tinue,” she said. “Alex has served the constituents of the BC Southern Interior with determination and grace and I believe he has the most effective track record of any MP in our corner of the world.”
Maximenko first out of the gate
After seven years and three terms in office as Member of Parliament (MP) for the B.C. Southern Interior region, Alex Atamanenko is retiring.
Atamanenko made the announcement on Nov. 4, but told the Gazette he had been thinking of stepping down for awhile.
“I’ve been doing it for 10 years either as a candidate or an MP,” he said. “I’ll be 70 years old in 2015, so I figured it was time to say goodbye.”
Atamanenko began his career by joining the provincial NDP in 2004 shortly after the election of a B.C. Liberal government in 2001.
“I was really upset over the direction that the Liberal government was taking us in B.C.,” he said. “A federal election was com-ing up in 2003 and I made a decision that maybe I could be an acceptable candidate. I approached our executive and they didn’t have anyone else to run in 2004 and I became the candidate.”
Atamanenko lost in 2004 by 684 votes, but bounced back to win in 2006—the first of three consecutive terms. He said it’s a time he will certainly look back at fondly.
“I’ve met many very interesting people and seen every corner of our huge riding,” he said. “I’ve had a chance to travel across Canada. I’ve had a chance to be one of 308 people in Parliament. It’s been quite an expe-rience.”
Among the many highlights of
Atamanenko’s career including meeting and getting to know former federal NDP leader Jack Layton, who died of cancer in 2011.
“He was a very dynamic person,” said Atamanenko. “I had a chance to talk to him on a personal level.”
Atamanenko was also proud of travelling across Canada getting feedback on food sov-ereignty for his report Food for Thought.
“The main highlight, though, is working with committed people in our area whether it’s Laura (Savinkoff) of the (Boundary) Peace Movement, or folks involved in the anti-GMO (genetically modified organisms) movement,” he said. “That kind of focus has been really interesting.”
Another issue that Atamenko fought against was the upcoming boundary change for the B.C. Southern Interior region which will lose Nelson and gain Penticton. The name will be changed to South Okanagan West Kootenay.
“I think it’ll be a challenge, but I think we can overcome it if we have a good (NDP) candidate,” he said. “We didn’t do that badly with our provincial candidate. That shows you that we’ve got room to grow there.”
Although he will finish out his term work-ing hard, life after politics beckons, and part of his time will be taken up as a karate instructor.
“I started in 1974, interesting enough in Ottawa,” he said. “It’s a good balance. Even know I work out and train. It balances the stressful life we have here. It’s good for the body and soul.”

Rossland Mountain Film Festival
Rossland once again will be pulling back the curtain on mountain culture with the big-gest little film festival ready to roll.
The 14th annual Teck Rossland Mountain Film Festival kicks off Wednesday at 8 p.m. in the Redroom Lounge of the Prestige Mountain Resort.
Left for Dead: The Legend of Wild Bill, which chronicles the misadventures of former camera-man Bill Harris, will start the series of talented videography and story telling that can be taken in throughout the week and into the weekend at var-ious hot spots in the Golden City.
“It’s tricky to put the perfect mix together but I think what we end up with is something that has some really nice local representation but also some of that international interest as well,” explained the festival’s marketing coordinator, Aerin Guy.
“I think especially with the little bit of snow we’ve had in the last couple of days, it’s perfect timing for it,” she added. “I think everyone’s get-ting really excited about getting their boots on, their skis tuned and heading out this year.”
The five-day festival touts an array of films, with some local content rounding out the interna-tional contributions.
Local fans can check out one of Rosslander Andre Nutini’s films The Lost, described as a “no-rules ski movie” produced by Legs of Steel, on Thursday night (starting at 9 p.m.) at the Flying Steam Shovel.

Not Bad• Anthill Films, 30 minThis is a tale of epic adventure. A tale of seven brave riders who set out from the four corners of the globe to gather together under one roof in a town located at the ends of the earth. A tale with no beginning and no end but where a few things happen in between. Things like eel fights. Yeah that’s right... eel fights. So watch this movie. Why? Because it’s ‘Not Bad... 30 days of bicycle tomfoolery in New Zealand’.
The Lost• Legs of Steel, 38 minThis year, Legs of Steel is going back to its roots, releasing a no-rules ski movie produced by the crew, for the crew. Expect fire, energy and black-magic ski action all wrapped up in a unique brand of stunning cinema-tography.

Water Tower• Peter McBride, 28 minIn central Kenya, northeast of the Rift Valley, there is a tower. It is a monumental granite swell with a crumbling pinnacle that stretches 17,058 feet into the sky. Mt. Kenya, the second tallest peak in Africa, is home to Nagi, the local water god that is said to create the rains. As a result, Ngai and the mountain provide 70 per cent of the nation’s water supply, fed by glaciers ad annual storms that eddy around the looming rock island. From the slums of Nairobi to the arid landscapes of Sumburu National Reserve and the vast rose farms on Mt. Kenya’s foothills, The Water Tower, is equal parts travel, advocacy and adven-ture film.

Rossland Mountain Film FestivalBut it’s not just about the films. Ladies are invit-
ed to pull out their little black dresses Friday night for the Teck Mountain Gala and Silent Auction in the Ross Thompson room at the Prestige; doors open at 6 p.m.
The no-minors event includes a complimentary glass of wine, a selection of appetizers, mountain culture films, a performance by Brad Mackay and a silent art auction featuring local artists’ work.
Entries are still open for the silent auction, which will see all proceeds go to the Rossland Food Bank.
the South Pole and back.
Back by popular demand, the REEL Youth Film Festival, runs Saturday under the festival title from noon until 2:30 p.m. at the Miners’ Union Hall. The international film screening
includes work from Greater Trail youth James Klemmensen and Liam Barnes (Barefoot), Eric Gonzales (Seattle and Aviation) and Jordan Strobel (High Rise- Ski Edit).
Due to Rossland Council for Arts and Culture changing administrative hands, film submissions were only open to youth who previously submit-ted work to the U19 Film Festival, explained new program administrator Demitri Lesniewicz.
The Rossland Council for Arts and Culture is again planning a U19 Film Festival for early May, which Lesniewicz expects to be a success if the amount of local youth interest in filmmaking is any indication.
“I met Eric Gonzales the other day, one of our winners from the U19 Film Festival last year,” he said. “He is a talented filmmaker and a very moti-vated young man at that.
“He is currently filming the new Grey expan-
“Artists will be giv-ing their art for a good cause and they do get a little bit of exposure from it,” said Guy. “The pieces will be featured on the website, through our social media chan-nels and at an event that a lot of people come out to.”
Saturday’s big production day includes a by-donation or a non-perishable food item donation family matinee at the Miners’ Union Hall at 3 p.m.
One film featured, Crossing the Ice, is a must-see story that won the Banff Mountain Film Festival people’s choice, said Guy.
The film follows the journey of two men drag-ging their food and shelter across 1,140 kilometres of barren ice as they set out across Antarctica to
sion for Red Resort. He is also doing work for the City of Rossland, and the City of Trail.”
The festival night will be capped off at 7 p.m. with a (no-minors) Nelson and District Credit Union Saturday Mountain Film and Party, featuring sounds from the Funk Hunters.
New to this year’s fes-tival is a film and speak-er forum on Sunday, the last day the festival runs.The discussion at 3 p.m. at the Prestige will be led by a representative from Teck Trail Operations and Selkirk College will follow the screening of Gold Fever, a witness account of the arrival of Goldcorp Inc to a remote Guatemalan village.

Hurts so Good• Andre Nutini, 35 minThe 2012 Rossland Mountain Film Fest People’s Choice Award Winner.Skiing is a roller coaster of emotions. Nothing is comparable to the dream like feeling of being in the mountains, and nothing charges your soul like the buzz that comes with stomping a new trick or blazing your own line through deep snow. With such highs, come inescapable lows - frustration, disappointment and worst of all, the injuries that keep you from the thing you love most. Through all this pain, however, you’ll always find yourself coming back for more...simply because it ‘Hurt so Good.’

Je m’appelle Jadelska Giguère. J’ai 15 ans. Je vais à l’école secondaire LV Rogers à Nelson. L’été dernier, j’ai vécu une hyper enrichissante expérience dont j’aimerais vous raconter. Tout à commencer quand ma mère m’a parlé de Destination Clic et de leur bourse disponible pour les jeunes de la 8e et 9e année désirant améliorer leur français tout en découvrant une autre partie du Canada. Elle avait lu cette information dans un des info-courriel de l’association francophone de notre région (AFKO). J’étais tout à fait éligible ayant le français comme langue première et résidant hors Québec. Trois destinations étaient o� ertes Trois-Rivières, Ottawa ou Moncton. Mon premier choix s’est arrêté sur le Nouveau-Brunswick. Quelle joie on a eu ma famille et moi lorsque j’ai été accepté au sein du programme. J’allais partir trois semaines toute seule pour l’autre bout du Canada avec le campus de l’université de Moncton comme camp de base.
J’ai rapidement fait des liens d’amitié avec plusieurs participants. Nous étions une cinquantaine de jeunes de partout du Canada avec des niveaux di� érents de français parlé et écrit. Les matins nous avions des cours de français et les après-midi étaient sois libres ou animées par des sorties de groupe. J’ai eu la chance de visiter le site la Sagouine, les plages de Moncton, les magni� ques rochers Hopewell, les alentours de Moncton, les glissades d’eau et plus. Les après-midi libres prenaient souvent place dans le grand salon communautaire où il était facile de créer des liens, de s’amuser et de relaxer. Je dois dire que même la nourriture à la cafétéria m’a plu. Diversi� ée, généreuse et qui plaît aux ados faut le faire!
Mon plus beau souvenir? La soirée de gala ou le gala des larmes car c’était notre dernière soirée tous ensemble où chacun pouvait y faire preuve de ses talents suivi d’une danse. Je leur ai joué un air de ma � ûte et j’ai pris plusieurs photos a� n de ne pas oublier ce super groupe d’amis et repris le chemin du retour, heureuse et triste à la fois. Bonne nouvelle, j’aurai la visite d’une amie du camp l’été prochain, ici à Nelson. L’aventure continue. Je recommande ce programme d’été, si vous avez entre 13 et 15 ans. Allez visiter www.destinationclic.ca et inscrivez-vous! Destination Clic couvre le prix du cours, les repas et l’hébergement ainsi qu’une partie des frais de voyage.
Grâce à un simple courriel de l’AFKO, les bons yeux de ma mère et mon amour des voyages, j’ai vécu un super été 2013!
Destination Clic, une super expérience pour jeunes!
