It didn’t take very long for the dance floor to fill up with enthusiastic Elvis fans at the Vito Las Vegas show on Saturday night.

Vito Nevoral, in the guise of the rock and roll king, managed to saturate the Nakusp Legion with more theatrical stylings than you can shake a pelvis at. There was plenty of arm flailing, hip gyrating and audience schmoozing to evoke the spirit of the King himself as Nevoral guided the audi-ence through an astounding two hour set of unstoppable Elvis hits.

“This is great” Elvis

(Nevoral) quipped, “I haven’t performed for a live audience in over 40 years.”

Darleen Blunt, along with an arsenal of supportive par-ents and community mem-bers, organized the charity fundraiser in co-operation with the Kootenay Society for Community Living.

“The parents really played a big part in making this happen,” Blunt shared. “They volunteered their time and their energy. They are really good people.”

Vito Nevoral was brought on board to provide the en-tertainment, but insisted on the stipulation that every cent raised from his perfor-mance would go directly to the special needs commu-

nity. The fundraising group

plans to host a meeting to discuss how the money raised will be spent.

“The money will be spent on what the special needs community wants,” Blunt explains, “not what other people want for them.”

Don’t worry, Sun Valley’s new look doesn’t mean a change in their phi-losophy or business

model. Owner Sheila Jones remains intent on maintaining the same service people have come to expect from the station on the corner of Nel-son Avenue and First Street.

“I just decided it was time for a new look,” Jones explains, “and an upgrade in technology.”

Changing from Sun Valley to the smaller family orien-tated company AFD Petroleum came with new pumps and a new canopy along

with a new, simple decidedly yellow look. The business will remain full-ser-vice and free from Pay - a t - t h e - P u mp

technology. “I had the op-

tion (for pay-at-the-pump) but I opted out,” Jones reasons, “I like people. But

the new pumps will have the option to switch over if I ever decide to sell and if the new owner wants to go that direction.”

Terry Taylor, School District 10 Superin-tendent, is a champion of rural education and has tirelessly promoted the amazing work in this district as a model of world class learning in a rural environment.

In the last four years Taylor’s work has tran-scended the boarders of SD10 to include a role in the West Koo-tenay Teacher Educa-tion Program (WK-TEP), which operates under the umbrella of the University of B.C.. Her efforts in the realm of pre-service teacher education have earned Taylor the accolades of UBC, who have honored her with the Marlane King and Jo-seph Ranallo Teaching Award for outstanding commitment and dedi-cation to the prepara-tion of teachers for ru-ral settings.

The award was es-tablished in 2008 to honor the achieve-ments of Marlane King and Joseph Ranallo who operated as the

site coordinators for the WKETP program from 1990 to 2008.

WKETP is a 12 month program de-signed for teacher candidates to develop their profession with-in a rural and small school focus. Taylor became involved with WKETP when she was entreated to teach the English Language Arts program. At the time of request, Taylor was turning heads in the teaching world by exploring social jus-tice lessons through a place-conscious learn-ing model.

After two years of teaching English Lan-guage Arts for WKETP, Taylor shifted subjects to Social Studies, where she began collaborat-ing with Eleanor Rix, Professor of Rural Edu-cation in UBC’s Faculty of Education and Dr. Linda Farr Darling. Darling works with the WKTEP in partnership with Selkirk College and was a member of the Marlane King and Joseph Ranallo Teach-ing Award selection committee.

In a letter informing Taylor of her selection, Darling praises Taylor for her commitment to the holistic preparation of teachers sighting her hospitality and con-tinued efforts to foster community orientated learning opportunities for WKTEP students.

“Terry’s contribu-tions to WKETP have been both stellar and unique,” Darling de-clares.

Friends and col-leagues, Taylor and Darling have worked together on collabora-tive projects under the auspice of the WKTEP program and have co-authored educational papers on the subject of place-conscious learn-ing with a rural focus.

“That interest in ru-

ral education is about recognizing that in-stead of a deficit model where being in a rural place means that you have less-fewer choic-es, fewer resources. In fact, in rural schools we have more,” Taylor explains. “We can work with pre-service teach-ers and really catapult them into thinking about their practice from the earliest days of becoming teachers and reflecting about what we know about good pedagogy.”

Taylor plans to continue the rural fo-cused education of pre-service teachers by inviting more rural conscience collabora-tion between SD10 and pre-service students of WKETP.

Sincere Minded Individuals Loving Everyone club


UBC honors world class learning in a rural environment

The Sincere Minded Indi-viduals Loving Everyone club (SMILE), held its first free com-munity event on July 19 in Fau-quier to celebrate the first year for their organic community garden.

More than 50 people were in attendance. Levi Fenton released homing pigeons to get the event off to a great start.

Local musicians Paul and Pe-tra Allen and Val Cabana had the crowd singing and clapping along.

Denise Douglas made the most delectable burgers, served on her delicious and fresh home-made buns.

There was something for ev-eryone; prizes for draws that included tickets for just show-

ing up, free coffee, tea, juice and snacks including the best fudge ever tasted.

Everyone who attended add-ed their own special something to make the event a huge success.

A heartfelt thank you to our generous sponsors for filling our little town with community pride and a sense of hope for a great future.

A recent CBC radio an-nouncement concerning the dangers of leaving one’s dog or cat unattended in a vehi-cle during the hot weather has no doubt caught the at-tention of many pet owners.

A stiff penalty for doing so will be levied, listeners were informed, and law enforcement officers have been authorized to take im-mediate action on-the-spot. A fine may be levied in or-der to reinforce the warning which applies to Nakusp and area residents as well as those who reside within other parts of the country.

As a much-loved dog owner myself, I felt inspired to seek further information concerning the dangers as-sociated with hyperthermia (heatstroke), a life-threat-ening condition which requires immediate treat-ment.

I wish to express my thanks to Dr. Bill Sones, a well-known and compas-sionate local veterinar-ian associated with Nakusp Veterinary Clinic, for tak-ing the time to provide the following helpful details concerning what action to take should one’s pet appear unsteady on his feet and ap-parently in distress, two of the symptoms associated with hyperthermia.

To begin with, remove your pet from the environ-ment where the hyperther-mia occurred, whether in-side a vehicle or elsewhere. Find a cool, shady area and

if possible, direct a fan to-ward the animal. The goal is to begin cooling down the dog or cat by placing wet towels over the pet’s back, armpits and around the groin area.

In addition, wet the ear flaps and paws with cool water. Directing the fan onto these wet areas will help speed evapora-tive cooling, however it is not advisable to use ice or cold water in the process, although it may seem logi-cal at the time. Cooling the innermost structures of the pet’s body will actually be delayed, as ice or cold water may cause superficial blood vessels to shrink, effectively forming an insulating layer of tissue which would hold the heat within. Using tap water is more suitable when seeking an effective cooling process.

In summary, Dr. Sones

stressed that severe hy-perthermia is a disorder which affects almost every glandular system within your pet’s body. Lowering its body temperature alone fails to address potentially catastrophic events that of-ten accompany this disor-der. Concentrating on this singular form of treatment may be seen as insufficient.

Your pet is a valued member of your household, often viewed as equal to that of a child by those who are elderly, living on their own and fortunate enough to be able to enjoy a devoted pet’s companionship. The animal should be seen by a veterinarian as quickly as possible to help offset po-tential serious difficulties, according to Dr. Sones.

For additional informa-tion, you can reach Dr. Sones at the clinic at 250-265-4442.

WildfiresFires have burned 172,227

hectares since April 1

Marilyn Boxwell

Seniors’ Column

Wildfires in B.C. have already burned up more forest than has been lost in recent years, with many weeks of hot, smoky action still expected for firefighting crews.

Fires have burned 172,227 hectares since April 1–more than the average of 141,000 hectares burned over the previous 10 years.

“It has been quite busy,” fire information officer Navi Saini said Tuesday. “The dan-ger ratings we saw for the last two weeks were the highest we’d seen since about 2010, which was the last busy fire season.”

In 2010, B.C. lost 337,149 hectares and spent $212 million fighting 1,673 fires.

Evacuation orders were issued for several communities that year.

There have been 652 fires so far this year and 128 of them were considered active as of last week.

The provincial government has so far spent an estimated $80.7 million and more than nine times as much area has already been burned compared to the 18,259 hect-ares all of last year.

About 60 percent of the fires so far have been caused by people–a high proportion–but Saini said that’s typical early in the sea-son, because lightning-sparked fires tend to pick up later in the summer.

Cooler weather and rain this week is help-ing ease the wildfire risk in much of the province, but Saini said a high pressure ridge is expected to rebuild by the weekend, bring-ing a return to warm, dry conditions.

Thousands of residents were ordered to evacuate due to wildfires earlier this month near West Kelowna and Hudson’s Hope. Near by BC Hydro dams which generate much of B.C.’s power were also evacuated but continued to operate.

CommunityEn plein air, The Carlyle Group ventures out into the open

Mosquitoes, bears, sleet and blistering heat. � ese were the various challenges in-volved in � e Carlyle Painters Group’s ad-ventures to the Mount Assiniboine Provin-cial Park for their sec-ond on-site painting expedition.

One year ago, � ve like-minded art-ist–Jenny Baillie, Bri-

gitte Desbois, Louise Drescher, Stephanie Gauvin and Mirja Va-hala–organized a � ve-day painting retreat to Carlyle Mountain in the Selkirks. � e suc-cess of the trip, along with the cathartic ex-perience of painting as part of a group in the wonderful outdoors, inspired the � ve art-ists to solidify their ensemble under the moniker � e Carlyle Group.

It was not long until their second foray into the great outdoors was planned for Mt. As-siniboine Provincial Park in the B.C. Rock-ies.

A 29 kilometre hike from Mt. Shark to the foot of Mt. Assini-boine led the group to the Naiset Huts where their equipment was dropped o� by heli-copter. Here, the group made their home in a small log hut for the

duration of their ad-venture; spending six days painting on-site and seven nights hud-dled in the basic, bunk bed–style accommo-dation.

En Plein air paint-ing is a French expres-sion that describes the act of painting out-doors, which became particularly popular during the impres-sionistic era when paint was � nally avail-able in easily trans-portable tubes.

It typically involves the artist hiking to inspiring outdoor lo-cations armed with a compact paint box and a telescopic ea-sel equipped with an umbrella to de� ect the ravages of wind and sun. � e artists engage in a battle with the ele-ments (as well as time and their own sense of pride), to create stud-ies on small panels that are taken to the studio to be repro-duced on canvas.

Studio Connexion Gallery has the plea-sure of exhibiting a selection of the works produced by the Car-lyle Group’s Mt. As-siniboine expedition and hosted two of the � ve painters for the gala opening on July 25. Artists Stephanie

Gauvin and Brigitte Desbois were on hand to talk about their ad-venture and share in-sights into the various landscape paintings that were on display.

“It was all Stepha-nie’s idea,” Desbois shares, “but we were all very excited about the prospect when she asked us.”

Gauvin was in-spired to organize her own en plein air ex-pedition a� er partici-pating in an Art in the Park project.

“I found myself say-ing, ‘oh it’s too bad I don’t have a group of people like this where I live,’ and so I approached artists I knew through the art co-op I was part of in Rossland and they were all very excited to participate.”

Desbois added, “Painting is such a lonely thing, it is a solo thing so once in a while it is nice to get together with like-minded people and share in the experi-ence.”

� e Carlyle Paint-ers Group series, Paintings from Mt. Assiniboine will be on display at Studio Con-nexion Gallery from July 22 to August 10.

154 athletes from the Kootenays competed at the 2014 BC Summer Games bringing home 23 medals.


Fast fun for a slo-pitch� e ITP’s have cel-

ebrated. � e Brew Jays have swallowed their pride. Burton Barley have gone back down the valley, Jugs and Nutz can be found spinning yarns at the � ree Lions Pub, the Wolf Pack have gone their separate ways, Deja Vu feels like they’ve done this before (or will do it again), and the Breeders have probably begun breeding again. But just because the local season has come to a close doesn’t mean ball is over for the year; the infamous August long weekend tournament is just around the corner.

� e equivalent of the Tour de France in the slo-pitch world, nothing tests the mettle of a ball player like three days of un-adulterated fun at the annual Nakusp Slo-

Pitch Tournament. It will be a contest of skill and athleticism, but the carnival-like festival is also a test of one’s grit; the would-be champions must navigate their moxie through trials and tribulations both on and o� the ball di-amond. It’s fair to say that this tournament is not for the faint of heart or weak of liver and one can expect the best crapulent, family orientated brouhaha this side of Mardi Gras.

Nakuspians do love their so� -ball. It is perhaps the oldest of the village’s ath-letic traditions with many a long memory able to recall stories of glory and sorrow played out on the Rec Grounds and Jackie James Field. Today, the bat and ball torch has been taken up by a dedicated group of locals who have formed the Nakusp Slo-Pitch Society and

have ensured the sur-vival of the August long weekend tour-nament. � is will be the tournament’s 28th year.

� e fun hits the bags at 7:00 p.m. Friday night and will continue right into Monday a� er-noon with the fi-nals scheduled for 4:00 p.m.. Friday night will also host a Home Run Derby sponsored by The Hut Drive-In. This year 20, teams from locations such as Spokane, Abbots-ford, Kelowna and even Saskatchewan (who are returning a� er a 20 year break as part of their family reunion), will be vy-ing for their shot at slo-pitch glory.

Nakusp will be � elding 3 local teams, ITP, Brew Jays and Deja Vu, in an at-tempt to bring home the tournament’s ul-timate prize from � e Browns of Kelowna.

“� ey come here because we are one of the last tournaments that pays out money,” explains Ryan Struck, president of the Slo- Pitch Society. “We get a lot of good tal-ent that comes here. We get the teams that like to play ball. � e level of competition is much higher than you would normally � nd,” he added.

Nakusp Rotary Club will be on hand all weekend for their 4th year in a row to fend o� hunger with their line-up of grub while the Slo-Pitch Society will be host-ing a beer garden to shellac the inhibi-tions of would-be hecklers and grease the wheels of sports-manship.

� e Nakusp Slo-Pitch Society have decided to donate $1 to children’s charity for every home run hit during the week-end, to be matched by Overwaitea Foods.

Robot WorkshopKids with a love of

science have the op-portunity to take part in Lego Mindstorm Robotics workshops this summer in loca-tions around the West Kootenay’.

Anne Lavergne has been teaching com-puting science and software development at institutions in the Lower Mainland for more than a decade. Prior to teaching she was employed as a software developer and IT manager over-seas.

Recently arriving to live in the Kootenays, Lavergne is taking her love of science, technology and prob-lem solving to the younger generation with camps in Craw-ford Bay, Kaslo and

Nakusp. In the workshops,

young people aged 12 to 18 will construct a standard robot us-ing the Lego Mind-storms Robots kit. Participants will then explore how to pro-gram the robot using the Lego Mindstorms programming envi-ronment. At the end of the workshop, the students will have gained skills in prob-lem solving and soft-ware programming.

The first work-shops will take place in Crawford Bay be-tween July 22 and 24 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Crawford Bay School. Lavergne will then take the workshops to the Sel-kirk College Learning Centre in Kaslo from

August 5:00 to 8:00 between 1:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.. The final opportunity to take in the exciting work-shop will be at the Sel-kirk College Learning Centre in Nakusp be-tween August 11 and 13 from 1:00 p.m. to

4:00 p.m.The cost of the

workshops is $119.00 for Crawford Bay and Nakusp, and $99.00 for the Kaslo sessions.

For more informa-tion contact Laverne Booth at 250-551-5827.


Creating a mindstorm this summer

Sufferfest organizer, Janis Neufeld, opened up the doors to the Nakusp Seniors Centre on Thursday evening and en-ticed visitors with her bright red, finish/start inflatable arch to drop in.

Neufeld, along with other supporters, were recruiting volunteers in the Seniors Cen-tre to assist with the operation of the Nakusp leg of the three-day Sufferfest event sched-uled for September 1. Tasks such as set-up, clean-up, gear transport and marshalling are all essential to the successful operation of the fitness-ori-entated event and require the support of the community.

Neufeld has broken up the

monumental task of run-ning Sufferfest into groups assigned specific tasks and managed by individual team captains.

“I can’t train everyone who volunteered to be a marshal,” Neufeld explains “but I can train the captain who in turn will train their crew.”

Sufferfest requires approxi-mately 75 volunteers from Nakusp to help run the event from start to finish. Neufeld will be running a similar drive with the same num-bers goal in New Denver. This will be the first year that Sufferfest will take place in locations outside of its epicentre in Kaslo, where in the past Neufeld has amassed over 200 volunteers from the community of the event’s in-

ception. Volunteers are essential as

Sufferfest, unlike other simi-lar events, is a completely non-profit organization that is committed to seeing the development of the local economy.

“We have something very special here,” Neufeld asserts. “We are an organization that serves the community with an event made possible by com-munity members. One of our mandates is to support the lo-cal economy and part of that is it being volunteer run.”

If you missed the drive and are interested in helping out there is still lots of time. Please contact Janis Neufeld either by phone at 250-265-8707 or by email at [email protected].

Anne Lavergne has been teaching computing science and software development at institutions in the Lower Mainland for more than a decade. Now a resident of the Kootenays, she will be putting on three robotics workshops in the region geared towards young peo-ple between the ages of 12 and 18.

CommunityKeep foodborne illness off your summer menu

It’s the time of year when many of us enjoy cooking outdoors –in parks, campgrounds and back yards. This pleasurable summer pastime of casual dining also provides ideal conditions for outbreaks of food-borne illness.

Foodborne ill-ness peaks during the months of May through September because of barbe-cuing and outdoor eating. E. coli, Sal-monella and Cam-pylobacter are ex-amples of some of the many bacteria related to handling raw meats and oth-er perishable food items. That’s why it’s vital to be sure items are refrigerated, well cooked and handled with care.

Outdoor chefs should keep food safety in mind as they are preparing summer feasts. These four words can help you reduce the risk:

Clean: Wash your

hands with soap and warm water before and after handling food. Wash all dish-es, cutting boards and counters with hot soapy water. A spray bottle con-taining one-half tea spoon of chlorine bleach per litre of water can be used to sanitize these items.

Separate: Keep raw foods away from cooked foods to avoid cross-con-tamination. Store raw meat at the bot-tom of the fridge or cooler to prevent juices from dripping onto other foods. Always use a clean plate when taking cooked meat off the barbeque.

Cook: Properly cooking food will kill harmful bacteria. Cook all meat to the appropriate internal temperature - see Health Canada’s Safe Internal Cooking Temperatures chart (www.healthycana-dians.gc.ca) for more details. Use a digital

food thermometer to measure the in-side temperature of cooked meats. Once cooked, keep hot foods at 60 degrees Celsius or hotter un-til ready to serve.

Chill: Always thaw meat in the fridge, microwave, or under cold running water – never at room tem-perature. Do not let cooked food sit out at room temperature or

in the sun for more than two hours. Cool any leftovers right away. Finally, keep cold foods cold at 4 degrees Celsius or lower.

For more tips, go to Interior Health’s website for the Life Begins at 40 degrees brochure or Health Canada’s Summer Food Safety Tips (www.healthycana-dians.gc.ca).
