Arrow Lakes News, February 05, 2015

e Arrow Lakes Historical Society just celebrated their 30th anniversary from when they obtained their Society registration on Dec. 4 1984. During the rst year, they com-

pletely overhauled the museum, which was started in 1968 by the Kinettes of the Kinsmen Club. When the Kinettes had to move on to other projects, Harry Murphy and Bert Gard-

ner tried to keep the museum open during the summers. ey asked for assistance and a few meetings later, the Society was formed and work was started cleaning, making

new display areas, painting the cement oors, repairing the showcases and getting it ready to reopen in the summer of 1985.

FarWest names winter boots after Nakusp

Andrew Minchin was shopping online for new footwear when he came across a familiar name. ere on the screen at marks.com was a rugged pair of boots aptly called FarWest Nakusp Packboots which retail for $139.99.

My husband Andrew thought that it was cool so he texted a photo of them. I thought it pretty was cool too and I wanted to share with the people of Nakusp. I even wanted a pair but they dont come in my size. Mens size eight is the

smallest, said Joleen Minchin. It was a bit of matchmaking re-

ally, shared Dave Stephens, buyer for Marks, in a phone conference with the Arrow Lakes News. We build a product with an end user in mind. In this case, the boot is for wet weather and some snow pack. Its among the rst of a line of names inspired by various Brit-ish Columbia locations To no, Vernon and Coldstream are oth-ers.

Britney Wilson, Communi-cations Advisor for Marks said, e FarWest brand originated in Vernon, B.C.,and in keeping with

tradition and the brands heritage, all boots are named a er a British Columbia locale. Were excited to be carrying this great Canadian brand in our stores.

Marks is a retailer of clothing and footwear, formerly known as Marks Work Wearhouse. It has recently acquired the licensing to Canadian-made FarWest products.

If youd like to own your own pair of FarWest Nakusp Pack-boots, youre in luck! One pair will be given away to a lucky win-ner. Watch out for next weeks is-sue of the Arrow Lakes News for details on how to enter.

Thank You From Convergent Management Group LtdWork continues on boat launch

Anyone spending time along the waterfront may have noticed some work going on around the boat launch and marina. Colum-bia Power is in the next phase of construction on the mandated accessibility required for each community that has been af-fected by the hydroelectric dam. Water access requirements are recommended by the Columbia River Water Use Plan and or-dered by the Comptroller of Wa-ter Rights.

Jennifer Walker-Larsen, a spokesperson with BC Hydro said, Columbia Power Corpo-ration has contracted Landmark

Solutions who are moving ma-terials to the site this week with work scheduled to start next week.

When asked about the contro-versy and upset that the unfin-ished launch has caused, Walker-Larsen responded, It has been a challenging project because of high water levels. Our goal is to get as much done as possible be-fore they rise again this spring, bringing in some crushed gravel for a good transition for boat ac-cess during low water levels.

The crew of six plus occasional contractors will be able to con-tinue working on concrete pads as long as the water levels remain low. They can only work where its dry, so how much they get

done will depend on water levels remaining low.

In 2016, the plan is for con-struction to be completed by divers working under water with specialized marine equipment.

What they are doing now will improve access for the next win-ter season. It will be better than the last couple of years, Walker-Larsen said.

This should have winter fish-ermen and emergency rescue workers relieved that even in low levels, the boats will be able to go out and come in via the public launch.

BC Hydro is running ads and is distributing a flyer to residents which discuss the project more in-depth.

Chamber of Commerce holds AGM meeting

The Nakusp and Dis-trict Chamber of Com-merce held their An-nual General Meeting on Thursday night with attendance of 21 mem-bers. There were a few changes to the board including the addition of Trisha Shanks repre-senting the Arrow Lakes News.

President Peter Welk-erling gave a verbal re-port covering the high-lights of the last year. During 2014, more than 13,000 full colour bro-chures were given out, new signs were erected at both ferry landings (Ga-lena and Needles), new ferry racking (brochure display) was installed and then immediately sold out. Ferry racking offers local businesses a slot to advertise their product or service to the people travelling on the ferries and is considered to be a very prominent and effective means of advertising in the area.

Welkerling acknowl-edged the tremendous

job that the Festival Committee did with the years events, namely the Mushroom Gala and the Festival of Lights held prior to Christmas. He discussed some of the goals for this year. They include hiring a new Events Coordina-tor since Craig Savage has moved away from the area, a booth at the Calgary Outdoor Show and updated signs at both entrances to town on Highway 23 and Highway 6 south of the village. The Chamber also hopes to purchase and erect banners upon which the messages can be changed by adding and removing letters, similar to a marquee.

Cedra Eichenauer gave a report about the Visitor Centre which included some informa-tive statistics. During the 2014 tourist season, close to 5,000 parties were served. Most were looking for maps, direc-tions, attractions and facilities such as wash-rooms or Wi-Fi. They gave out 3000 hiking and biking maps and

1500 winter guides. The website has had 54,600 page views with visitors staying longer and view-ing more items.

Mayor Karen Ham-ling was on hand to swear all of the Directors in. I want to thank the Chamber for being ex-tremely active, putting on a number of things this year. And that was one of the best Christ-mas events we have had in a long time, she said.

The meeting ended with former President Dawn Devlin present-ing information and a survey on the West Koot Route, the new tour-

ism branding project which is a joint effort between several com-munities in the West Kootenays. Their web-site states, The West Koot Route is a peaceful two-lane highway which gives access to this stun-ning landscape, winding through quiet lakeside villages, traversing up and down rocky moun-tain passes, and serpen-tining along cliffs that offer scenery rivaling any on the planet.

Devlin is busy con-ducting visits with many area businesses to garner support and information to support the program.

Ever since I moved into the Columbia Valley nine years ago, this has been the time of year I tend to go a bit stir-crazy; actually, more like a lot stir crazy. Im pretty con dent all of us valley people living under the fog, are feeling it. Hav-ing grown up in sunny Alberta, then to move here from Kimberley where I was usually above the valley fog the winter gloom was quite a shock to my system. It didnt take me long to realize that I wasnt the only one su ering. e usually chatty and friendly community members instead exchange only forced smiles or simple grunts as niceties in the streets and grocery aisles. However, when that sun does decide to shine, the town comes alive like a scene from Mary Pop-pins. People virtually sing and prance in the streets, with smiles so bright they are as blinding as the sun.

Yes, I take vitamin D supplements and have a sun lamp, but nothing can replace the real thing. As I sit here writing this, I can see the outline of the sun through the

fog mocking me while I dream of the warm tingles when the rays of sunshine tickle my face. I have been Googling tropical vacation deals for the past three weeks, but have given in to the fact that it just isnt nancially possible for me. So how does a person get out of this funk if they cant get to the sunshine?

I realized from quite a young age that the easiest way to put a smile on my face and a bounce in my step is to listen to music. Music will play in my house before I even grind my beans for co ee; which speaks volumes as I really love my co ee. Once the music is playing, its hard not to move and nothing heals the soul like danc-ing. ere are many great music events in our community and the surrounding area which o er ample opportunity to get your groove on all winter long. Try a Zumba class, or belly- t if youre not comfortable in a freestyle dance atmosphere.

ose combine with my next tip for combating the winter blues: exercise. Not only is exercise good for your health, its

good for your mind. Go outside to ex-ercise if you can; fresh air works won-ders. Living in a mountain paradise, trails abound waiting for exploration by cross-country skis or snowshoers. Up the Kuskanax valley, Wenseley Creek, Summit Lake, Summit Lake Ski Area, the ats down by the lake and Rails to Trails here in town are just a few examples of the beautiful places this area has to o er. And as youre getting some fresh air and exercise its also a great time to connect with your loved ones. Bring them along with you. Nothing chases the blues away like the laughter you share with your dear friends and family.

Music, dancing, outdoor exercise and being with good friends have made a huge di erence to my sanity during the winter months. ose, as well as daily reminders of how beautiful the rest of the year is in this valley, are what stop me from packing my bags and moving south. Keep smiling valley friends, keep dancing like we do; the sun will be shining real soon.

When is a wolf a goat?

What if the way to curb our grow-ing global population was to poison the food source or round up a variety of people from different age groups and shoot them with a firing squad? This is how ecologists and governments deal with growing populations of one species or another. The humans kill our way out of everything. It seems we always have.

Right now, the target is on the back of the wolves living in the south Selkirk range. What is disturbing is the poi-gnant argument both for and against the cull. There are scientists, ecologists, politicians and more silently but no less involved, business owners.

The worst of it is the method being used. It is controversialinvolving noisy and invasive helicopters manned with sharp shooters, which to us seems like a frightening and traumatic way to die. There are laws around this. In 1993, a set of guidelines was created to regu-late animal culling and nowhere does it condone shooting from a chopper. The only humane way to shoot an animal is in the brain, tough to do when youre hovering above them as they run away from you at top speeds. Even if you are a sharp shooteris there some sort of evaluation between a sharp shooter and a shooter? No matter which side of the argument you are on, the method is flawed and it isnt getting much air time.

Wolf packs will be unnecessarily splintered and the cull will leave the scars on the remaining wolves. Why is nobody talking about the fact that the wolf is being made into a goat- a scape-goat? A convenient patsy for the loss of caribou at the hands of deforestation of their preferred habitat- old growth for-ests. But that is an argument for another day.

Our View

Part one of a special report produced by Connected Communities on the topic of seniors and their special needs, was published in last weeks column. Part two follows.

I recently met with some Nakusp area seniors who expressed concern over the lack of bus transportation services in particular, which are designed to ensure that out-of-town medical appointments as well as social opportunities can be attended with minimal inconvenience. The goal is designed to enhance ones quality of life and keep older members of our population living a comfortable and affordable lifestyle within their own homes and communities.

Seniors are sometimes required to travel outside ones home base in order to be able to access programs related to chronic disease management. The fact is, those who are aged 75 years and over are frequently the least familiar with computers. This results in them not being able to access information con-cerning health related issues and also benefit forms, which are required to be completed as part of the mandatory application process. Whats more, com-promised hearing or cognitive prob-

lems impair ones ability to navigate telephone options.

Many low-income seniors experience problems when needing to drive long distances in order to access medical specialized services. Some do not even own a car or have a drivers license any longer. The question of affordability is another concern. A round-trip for two running from Nakusp to Kelowna, for example, stands as a major reason why

some appointments are cancelled in spite of their importance in the patients achieving healing and wellness accord-

ing to plan.Self-respect and pride within the se-

niors age group can mean that these individuals are the least likely to ask for help if they cannot afford it, and may result in being forced to cut costs from somewhere else in order to manage their budgets successfully. The stress of having to face these difficult situations tend to negatively compound the im-pact of dealing with ones health overall.

Connected Communities states in its report that the BC Ministry of Health Services is challenged to accept respon-sibility for the problems it has caused where it placed sustainability (mean-ing affordability) over and above the five principles of the Canada Health Act, which are mandated federally.

Health authorities and supporters are asked to deal with problems ow-ing to the declining rate of available and affordable medical and home sup-port services as well as the increasing financial burden placed on not only the patients themselves, but also their families. Whats more, the widening gap between the quality of rural and urban health care is a major issue, which must be addressed without delay.

Sincere thanks are expended to col-league Sally Williams, a member of the Kaslo branch of Connected Com-munities, for keeping me informed and aware of our mutual need to work together now and in the future for the sake of maintaining current and up-coming older residents, their families, care givers and stakeholders overall.

Pee Wee Falcons play final league gameLast Saturday, the Nakusp

Pee Wee Falcons played their last regular league game against Kaslo. Kaslo got on the scoreboard quickly but Devon Coates tied the game a couple of minutes later, unassisted. Kaslo got the go-ahead goal midway through

the second, but Coates tied it up 2-2, again, unassisted. In the third period, Kaslo got two more goals to achieve a 4-2 lead, but the Falcons still battled back. Coates got his third goal of the game assist-ed by Ewan Carter to narrow the gap. The Falcons had nu-

merous shots on net, but the Kaslo goalie was hot. Late in the third period, Coates would get his fourth straight goal of the game, assisted by Carter. Time ran out and Kaslo secured the 8-4 vic-tory.

The Falcons are now pre-

paring for their home tour-nament February 13-15 with teams visiting from Kaslo, Vernon and Kamloops. Fol-lowing the home tourna-ment, the Falcons will be travelling to Grand Forks to participate in the West Koo-tenay playoffs.

Heritage week in Arrow Lakes Continued from page 1

To do this work, we contacted Denis Stanley of the Arrow Lakes News to print several small books to cover the costs the Pioneer Cook Book, Christmas Stories, a poem book, the Arrow Lakes Indians booklet and a reprinting of the PTA cook book that was printed in 1949 as a fund raiser to build the elementary school.

In 1989, through the help of a Feder-al grant, they printed their rst book of the Centennial Series called Faces of the Past. We had archival material brought to the Society from Milton Parents hob-by of taping pioneers and copying their priceless pictures with names and occa-sions already given. is made the writ-ing of the book much easier because we already had the information needed. is won them their rst Award for Historical Writing from the BC Historical Federa-tion. As they sold their books, they saved the funds from book sales to produce six more books. Port of Nakusp, Silent Shores and Sunken Ships, Circle of Silver, and Bugles on Broadway completing the ve books of the series. In 2001 Milton Parent won the coveted Lieutenant Gov-ernors award for Historical Writing for the book Circle of Silver. He then wrote Halcyon: a Captains Paradise and Caulk-boot Riverdance. We have had to reprint four of these volumes and we have them all in stock.

When a space for rent became avail-able in the Hydro o ce, the Historical Society and the museum decided to sep-arate. ere had never been any room in the museum for the archival material that we were accumulating and which was stored and worked on in the basements of

members. We moved into the new o ce at the Hydro o ce in 1999. A er een years of being at this o ce, we wondered how long we would be allowed to stay there and also what would happen if the valuable items we had were put into stor-age. Photos, negatives, and paper items would soon deteriorate. Milton decided to ask the Village of Nakusp if we could build an addition onto the Centennial Building that already housed the muse-um and the library. e village agreed to the construction and a er several years we managed to build a spacious o ce to house all our material.

On April 5 we opened our new o ce to the public and we were thrilled to be able to have more room to do our work and to hold meetings. rough another grant (Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alli-ance), we managed to obtain funding to buy the desks, tables, chairs, and an 80 TV set with complete sound system so that we could show our slide shows to the public and hopefully to school aged stu-dents in Nakusp as well.

With the sudden passing of author/

historian Milton Parent in 2012, we had to nd someone with expertise to dig-itize the over 10,000 photos that Milton had accumulated while taping interviews from 1972 on. Most of these early pio-neers are gone but the photos are named and therefore very valuable. Kyle Kusch has been working with us and is very ca-pable of doing the work on the photos. So far, over 15,000 photos have been dig-itized and named and are available for the slide shows that we have been putting on. Even though these photos have been used in the books that we published and used in newspaper articles, the photos were not given to the society until last year as part of Miltons estate.

A book on the SS Minto is being pre-pared now and we hope that it will be ready to publish next year. We will be doing more family tree work as well, es-pecially of the pioneer families. We man-aged to complete taking photos of the houses on the avenues and nding the information of when they were built and by whom, and hope to do the same on the streets of the town this coming year.

Blackman headed to Special Olympics provincials

Alpine skier Jo Blackman did so well at the region-als last year that he is head-ed to the provincials later this month. Blackman and his coach Eric Waterfield leave on Feb. 19 for Kam-loops where he will compete against 40 other athletes.

Hell be competing in alpine skiing the slalom, giant slalom, super G and downhill, Waterfield said.

Jo Blackman, who has an intellectual disability, started skiing in elementary school. He has been working with Waterfield for around eight years, since the age of 19.

Im excited about going

away. I get to ski on a big-ger hill with chair lifts, and socialize over the weekend, said Blackman. Hes feel-ing the pressure to perform though and admits he has more fun when hes not com-peting.

Nationals are held every four years. Blackman will be one of about 80 athletes com-peting in the skiing events. The Special Olympics is for individuals with intellectual disabilities and not to be con-fused with the Paralympics, which is for individuals with physical limitations.

According to their web-site, Special Olympics BC provides high-quality sports programs and competitions to meet the needs and inter-

ests of individuals with intel-lectual disabilities. Our mis-sion is to help them enrich

their lives and celebrate per-sonal achievement through positive sport experiences.

January 30, 1925 The entire district was

plunged into grief with the news that Mrs. A.D. Powell had passed away. She had been suffering for some time with Addisons disease. She had been a resident of Na-kusp for over 13 years.

January 31, 1935 Following the heavy

snowfall Sunday night, the government snow plow was unable to leave Nakusp until Tuesday morning. The pres-ent equipment for plowing snow is entirely too light. It seems ridiculous to expect a plow with a blade less than three feet high to plow snow up over six or eight feet high.

February 1, 1945 Mrs. Lana Anetta Blon-

din died in the Arrow Lakes Hospital Jan. 15, 50 years

after doctors had given her but a few months to live. She lived to be 94 years of age. She first came to Kaslo in 1893 to work as a nurse.

February 3, 1955 For the third successive

year Violamac Mine near Sandon has won the safety award as the mine in Nelson district having the lowest accident rate.

February 4, 1965 A heavy snowfall last

Thursday disrupted power lines. Power was out in Na-kusp from 11 p.m. till 1 a.m.

February 4, 1975 Feb. 1 marked the 50th

anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Merril Barrow of Nakusp. The couple were married in St. Marks Anglican Church in Nakusp. They owned the Leland Hotel from 1937 un-

til 1957.January 30, 1985 Harry Mayson has been

named Citizen of the Year. The Rotary Club of Nakusp has changed the annual presentation of the Citizen of the Year format and an-nounced the winner ahead of time.

February 1, 1995 Cathy Leahy is no longer

the Arrow Lakes Hospital administrator. She has been terminated, Hospi-tal Board Chairman Mike George confirmed. We are not able to give any reasons why. George said Leahy was let go on Janu-ary 24 and insisted the matter is still one of a con-fidential matter regarding certain aspects of the fir-ing. A meeting on January 11, called by the Arrow Lakes Hospital Society,

was a spirited evening of questions why Hazel Ross-man, the director of nurs-ing, was let go last summer.

February 2, 2005 School District No. 10

and the Nakusp Energy Corporation (NEC) have recently agreed to a busi-ness partnership that will see wood waste used as fuel to heat Nakusp Sec-ondary School. The ar-rangement believed to be a first in Canada will see NEC establish and oper-ate a Brayno boiler at no cost to the school district or the village. It is an-ticipated that use of the boiler will significantly reduce NSSs use of pro-pane and result in a 30 percent reduction in the schools annual propane bill which translated into about $9,000 to $10,000 in savings annually.

NAKUSP BOAT RAMP REPLACEMENT PROJECT - CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

BC Hydro and Columbia Power are pleased to announce that on-site construction to extend the Nakusp Boat Ramp will resume this month. The project contractor is expected to start moving materials to the site this week with on-site construction starting the week of February 9.

The Arrow Lakes Reservoir water level is fairly low, and based on current conditions, BC Hydro forecasts the reservoir water level to continue to drop. On site construction work will continue as long as water levels allow. The boat ramp will be closed for public access while the work is underway.

Crews will place a series of concrete panels to extend the ramp as far down as water levels will allow this season and place crushed gravel at the base to improve boater access at low water levels. All work this year must be done in the dry out of the water.

BC Hydro and Columbia Power are committed to complete the boat ramp to its design toe elevation of 420.5 metres (1,379.6 feet). Planning is underway for a new approach to finish the low water portion of the boat ramp in spring 2016 using in-water construction techniques that will not rely on a coffer dam. The in-water work will involve specialized marine construction equipment and methods that require special permitting.

We will continue to provide updates as the project progresses. For more information, please contact:

Local talent featured by ALAC Brother and sister duo

Shelley and Doug Thring who perform together as Ev-erythring are coming to the Bonnington Arts Centre, lo-cated at the Nakusp Elemen-tary School on Saturday Feb. 7. Blues-rock based covers from the likes of Etta James, Van Morrison, Bonnie Raitt and even Adele are part of this pairs repertoire.

Doug and Shelley Thring were born and raised in New Denver. They developed a love of music early, having grown up in a musical family. Doug drummed in an area rock n

roll band before college where he turned his focus to guitar.

He has performed in various locations in the Okanagan and

Vancouver Island as a solo artist, in duos and in rock and blues bands. Shelley sang for over 20 years with the Valhalla Community Choir, the Slocan Valley Orchestra and the local rock and blues band, Dirty Laundry. Doug hails from Nanaimo and Shel-ley has recently relocated to Nakusp.

Sponsored by the Arrow Lakes & Region Arts Council (ALAC), Everythring is the first in a new musical series by local area artists. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Admission at the door is $6 per person or $10 per couple. There is no charge for Arts Council sea-sons tickets holders.
