Treaty community sessions packed with questions and concerns

The afternoon and evening Nakusp ses-sions of the Columbia River Treaty workshop on Nov. 6 were packed with over 50 peo-ple each, as representatives Kelvin Ketchum (BC Hydro), Kathy Eichenberger (Provincial rep, CRT review team), and Karen Hamling (Local Governments Committee) laid out what information has been collected through the public consultation process.

Eichenberger told the crowd that the majority of basin residents were in support of treaty continuation, and being part of the pro-cess. Residents didn’t want to see any more social or environmental impacts or flood risk, and wanted better trans-boundary planning, but they do want to see that compensation for flood control reflected the value of the ser-vice, and that all kinds of water usage were valued appropriately. Addressing the inequity of affected communities and those that have benefited remains a prime concern. Climate change, stable reservoir levels, the return of salmon to the Columbia, and a water usage plan for the Kootenay/Koocanusa system were also high priorities.

Keeping reservoir levels as constant as possible, a requirement for a thriving ripar-ian zone, was one issue discussed in Nakusp. Kelvin Ketchum outlined two alternatives: if the treaty is terminated, Arrow operations could shoot for stabilization around 1,425 or 1,420 ft, but there would be no flood con-trol for the U.S., which would mean a stable water level but no revenue from flood con-trol. With stabilization would come a larger wildlife area and an improvement of shore-based recreation. On the flip side, the amount of time that nutrients would be available to organisms that feed on them would decrease,

the capacity for boating would be lower with a smaller reservoir, and transportation of log booms could be interfered with at 1,420 ft.

One member of the afternoon audience pointed out that Kokanee access to spawn-ing beds is better at lower flow levels, and she inquired if levels could be kept close to 1,420 feet with a treaty continue option. Eichen-berger said that it could be considered that the models that were being presented just scratched the surface and that input would help in making decisions.

“Often people don’t give suggestions,” she said, “but Burton and Fauquier did.”

Eichenberger noted that there is a lot of passion on both sides of the border around restoring salmon migration in the Colum-bia, and salmon are one issue about which there is unanimous agreement. Technically, each nation is responsible for their own struc-tures, and according to Eichenberger, BC Hydro has said that if there are steps taken to enable salmon to migrate across U.S. dams like the Grand Coulee Dam and all the way into Canadian waters, they would look at how to open up fish passage into the upper Columbia. Currently, the Grand Coulee Dam, built between 1933 and 1942, blocks salmon passage to Canada. Getting fish past Revel-stoke and Mica will be a challenge, she said, but there are already provisions for the three other dams on the Canadian side.

It was also pointed out that money from power generation is reduced in treaty termi-nation scenarios, as the Canadian Entitlement no longer exists. The estimated amount of the average annual Entitlement amount over the past ten years was given as roughly $200 mil-lion, an amount that was portrayed would be missing if the treaty were terminated. One attendee said that wasn’t a fair character-ization because it was clear the U.S. would

be coming to the table with the intention to severely reduce the Canadian Entitlement, so any theoretical loss was unknown.

RDCK Director Andy Shadrack pointed out the need for basin-wide discussion about the effects of climate change, giving the Columbia wetlands that are fed by dimin-ishing glaciers as an example of one area of many that need to be taken into consider-ation.

Another Nakusp resident raised the issue that pieces of the conversation around the treaty, such as First Nations discussions, are unknown.

“How do we know they’ll listen to us?” she said, concerned that issues raised in these sessions would be overlooked at the negoti-ating table. First nations are now taking part in the Local Government Committee Eichen-berger responded, and that committee will be on hand at any negotiations, although they will not be at the table themselves.

The value of water was raised more than once, with residents pointing out that the U.S. uses water for more than just power gen-eration, but also for irrigation as well as rec-reation and maintaining their ecosystems. Eichenberger agreed that the value of non-power benefits has been overlooked, and how water value is calculated needs to take into account far more than it has to date.

“This is not the enemy,” said Nakusp mayor Karen Hamling before the Local Gov-ernment session, pointing to Kathy Eichen-berg after the question and answer period. The mayor, who attended a couple of state-side meetings, said our neighbours to the south are unaware of the history and the con-temporary issues up here, and are just begin-ning to find out. She stressed that, other than the air we breathe, water is the most precious commodity we will ever have, and encour-aged people to contribute their comments about the draft recommendation.

Be part of what happens to water in the province

Water has frequently been the subject of news stories, particularly the legalities around treatment, usage and ownership of water.

A new Water Sustainability Act that will replace the current Water Act is being proposed, and the pub-lic is being asked to provide feed-

back. The new act is touted as making

improvements in key areas, namely the protection of stream health and aquatic environments; water considerations in land-use deci-sions; regulations and protection of groundwater; regulation of water in times of scarcity; improvement of security, efficiency and conserva-tion; and measurement and report-ing of large-scale water use. The

Act is also to provide for a range of governance approaches of water in the province.

Citizens can contribute feedback via email, fax, post or online until Nov. 15, and input that is received will be posted online.

Agricultural interests such as the BC Cattlemen’s Association and the BC Agricultural Council are clear that protecting water quality and access is a necessary part of

food security, and see the new Act as necessary. They aren’t alone.

“A new Water Sustainability Act would serve to modernize the exist-ing, century-old Water Act, which doesn’t reflect today’s norms or values, especially from an environ-mental perspective. This new leg-islation would be a significant and welcomed step forward, and will improve our ability to better man-age and care for our rivers, aquifers

and water resources in general,” said Mark Angelo, rivers chair of the Outdoor Recreation Council of BC.

Water and water management affects all aspects of life. Make your voice heard about the new Water Sustainability Act before Nov. 15. The legislative proposal and summary document for the new Water Sustainability Act can be found online.

Born on September 24, 1925 in Chase BC, a long-time res-ident of Sicamous since 1968, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on October 23rd at the age of 88 years.

Dodie graduated Nursing School in 1947 which allowed her to serve one of her lifelong passions, helping those in need, until her retirement in 1987.

A caring mother and world class grandmother and loyal friend, she will be lovingly remembered by her 6 children Lynn(Angus), Vicki(Christian), Jill(Neil), Janice(Jack), Robert(Mya) and Sherry(Jas), 8 grandchildren Trevor, Tyler, Cristian, Lara, Michele, Dillon, Robert and Sean, and 8 great-grandchildren, as a woman so tough she once drove herself to the hospital, in labour to give birth, with her hand slammed in the car door, thinking nothing of it. With a sparkling smile that will never be forgotten it was often said that Dodie was the only family member of which a bad picture does not exist.

As per her request, no formal service will be held, with a family remembrance scheduled for summer 2014.

Trout Lakes’s Max Mine to become part of new mining operations

The Max Mine near Trout Lake is one step closer to being acquired by Vancouver-based Discovery Ventures Inc. Discovery recently received con-ditional approval from the TSX Ven-

ture Exchange in respect to a letter of agreement that would shift the assets of FortyTwo Metals Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Roca Mines Inc., to Dis-covery.

Discovery Ventures plan to use the Max Mine and mill complex to pro-cess minerals from their Willa Proj-

ect which is located eight kilometres south of Silverton, B.C. The 5,328 km Willa Project is located 135 kilo-metres from the Max mill by high-way. According to the Discovery Ven-tures website, around $18 million has been spent on the project to date, but Discovery is not the first to be inter-

ested in the site. The Willa property has been explored on and off by a num-ber of companies working in joint ven-tures since 1893, with most of the cur-rent underground workings completed in 1985. Although a preliminary mine design and schedule was completed in 2005, metal prices at the time were too

low to warrant starting up production. A 2012 technical report revealed sig-nificant levels of gold, as well as some copper and silver.

The Max Mine was formerly a pro-ducing molybdenum mine in operation from 2007 until November 2011 when low metal prices forced its closure.

U.S. interests run with and against Canadian CRT agenda

Although Canada’s Local Gov-ernment Committee is unique as any organization bringing infor-mation to the treaty decision-makers, the U.S. has also been running public information ses-sions to collect input from Basin citizens south of the border.

Like Canadians, Americans also want to see that ecosystem, recreation, First Nations, com-pensation to affected areas and climate change considerations become part of any future agree-ment. Signed back in 1964, the original treaty focussed on flood control and power generation, which were seen as the major issues at the time. Now, there are many more considerations that can be addressed in negotiations.

Which issues are important is

up for debate. Although there are many voices in favour of ensuring ecosystems are looked after, for example, there are also a few who see money spent to help plants and wildlife as a waste. Naviga-

tion, ensuring shipping passage up and down the Columbia state-side, recreation, and irrigation are also considerations for American basin residents. Water from the Columbia River irrigates 7.3 mil-lion acres of land in the basin, a significant use of water below the border.

Many comments collected on the U.S. side show keen interest in reducing the Canadian entitle-ment, the payment of downstream benefits equivalent to the amount of power that could have been

generated. Both individuals and U.S. utilities would like to see the entitlement done away with or reduced, and it is clear that this will be one of the major issues on the table in any negotiations.

And flood control is still very important. The CRT was created in response to the catastrophic

flooding in 1948 that destroyed Vanport, Oregon and killed peo-ple on both sides of the border. If the treaty were to be termi-nated, Called upon flood control would come into play, but what that means is still unknown. Both Canadian and U.S. interests are trying to determine just exactly called upon requests for flood control mean, and how much it would mean in terms of money. By U.S. Entity calculations, each called upon request could cost the U.S. between $4 to $34 million in compensation for lost power rev-enues.

Called upon flood control is conditional on what is called “Effective Use” of U.S. reser-voirs, but what that means pre-cisely is also unknown. Effective Use is the American obligation to use all available storage before calling upon Canada to supply

flood control, but how much is considered “all available stor-age” has not been hammered out. It could mean that some U.S. res-ervoirs would be drawn down to lower levels more frequently than they are now, which would impact irrigation, fish and recreation.

Power generation is also still a hot topic, as are the costs and benefits of keeping or terminating the treaty. In one “treaty contin-ues” estimate by the U.S. Entity in June 2012, losses in poten-tial energy revenue for the U.S. were between $2 - $34 million. For Canada, a “treaty continues” scenario could mean revenue loss of $500,000 to a gain of $2 mil-lion, according to the same report. With treaty termination, the esti-mates by the U.S. Entity are a gain in revenue for the U.S. ($180 to $280 million) and a decrease for Canada ($220-$320 million).

management.” -u.S. entity

What does the other party in the Columbia River Treaty think is important? Here’s a primer on what Americans are bringing to the table.

There will be a new name repre-senting the NDP on federal ballots this year, and it could be Margaret Maxi-menko. Maximenko, of Christina Lake, has announced that she will be seek-ing the NDP nomination in the newly named riding of South Okanagan West Kootenay (SOWK). The Federal riding was formerly called BC Southern Inte-rior and represented by NDP MP Alex Atamanenko who has decided not to run in the next Federal Election.

After a great deal of encourage-ment from party members, family, friends and supporters Maximenko has declared her intention to seek the nom-ination and already hitting the cam-paign trail. A longtime party activ-ist and self-proclaimed “democracy wonk,” she is excited by her political prospect.

“I am excited to participate in this democratic process. Our country is currently suffering from a serious dem-ocratic deficit as evidenced by the four

federal by-elections currently featur-ing Conservative candidates who were personally hand-picked by Stephen Harper,” declared Maximenko.

“Alex Atamanenko leaves an amaz-ing legacy that would be my hon-our to continue,” Maximenko stated when asked about her intention. “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 Mem-ber of Parliament in our corner of the world.”

Her candidacy is not yet a sure thing. Maximenko has jumped at the chance to become a nominee and potentially represent the NDP, but she hopes peo-ple will run against her. For her, the best result will be that the best person for the job is the one who gets it.

Originally moving to Canada at the age of nine with her parents from Seat-tle, Maximenko said she has always had a passion for Canada. The move north of the border was motivated by her parents’ sense that the war in Viet-nam was unjust, and one they could not

Margaret Maximenko has announced her nomineeship for the NDP candidacy in the new riding of South Okanagan West Koote-nay that includes Nakusp. Courtesy Margaret Maximenko


NDP nominee announces intention to run in new federal ridingsupport. That political foundation was kept strong, and Maximenko said she has decided to step up as a nominee in response to what she calls a sense of urgency about see-ing the rights of citizens disap-pearing under the Harper govern-ment.

This isn’t Maximenko’s first foray into the political realm. She has served as the representational Member of Parliament role dur-ing her time as a Rural Director of the Regional District of Koote-nay Boundary, as well as two-and-a-half years as Local Government Spokesperson on the Premiers,

Commission on Resources and the Environment (C.O.R.E.) along with many other positions within local and regional communities of interest.

“My four top goals are to repre-sent all the constituents of SOWK, work to restore Canada’s stand-ing in the world which has dete-riorated significantly under the Harper Regime, focus efforts to support our environment and address the issues around growing inequality that are rapidly eroding the middle class in our country,” she told the Arrow Lakes News in one of her first community visits

in the riding. The new boundaries for the rid-

ing of SOWK will now include Nakusp and Penticton but no lon-ger contain Cawston, Keremeos, Hedley, Princeton, Kaslo and Nel-son. The riding remains huge and Maximenko feels fortunate that Christina Lake is situated in the centre, therefore travel to address constituent and community issues can be accomplished effectively in either direction.

The next federal election is widely believed to be held Oct. 19, 2015.

Prepare the ground for next spring with books this winter

Here are a couple of books that gar-deners and lovers of nature will surely enjoy. Living Earth, by Peter Farb, was published in l959 but remains an excellent introduction into teeming and complex life found in soil.

Readers will learn, perhaps for the first time about springtails and mites, two of the most common organisms in forest soils and their presence by thousands in each square foot of soil. They will learn about shrews which Farb calls the “fiercest animal on the globe” and about the ability and will-ingness of these mammals to take on and triumph over animals many times their size. They will learn about the force called imbibition which enables a seedling to push its way through an asphalt road. I remember seeing mountain ash trees one- to two-metres high that were growing on an aban-doned stretch of highway. The book offers valuable learning on almost every page and is another educational resource for people of all ages.

Secrets of the Soil, edited by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird, includes a chapter called “Microcos-mos” which is about the “farmer’s unpaid workers” which range from microbes to clearly visible organisms. The reader will learn about organisms that collect nitrogen from air, ones that make important chemical changes, others that are scavengers, and even ones that parasitize other microbes. To the thoughtful individual it will raise the question of immense damage we may do by adding pesticides and other pollutants to the soil.

Another chapter in the same book is called “Biomass Can Do It.” This chapter raises the interesting possibil-ity that composted human sewage can return wasteland to productivity and achieve the same purpose with mar-ginal lands that are infertile. It enter-tains the promising possibility that by living with Nature and cooperat-ing with it we might be able to raise adequate quantities of food to sustain society and reduce fuel use simultane-ously.

Unnecessary waste results from 25,000 calories of energy (plant food) being needed to grow 1,000 calories of beef protein. A good portion of the meat we eat putrefies in the human gut. By reducing meat intake, human health would be improved and fossil fuel use decreased.

A new idea of wealth emerges which is simply that the health and integrity of the planet is the real wealth of life and that by living in cooperation with the innate order of the Earth we would be head and shoul-ders above the world of competition.

Actually, natural history and ecol-ogy provide a wealth of knowledge which corroborates the wisdom of life within Nature’s bounds that was estab-lished before our Johnny-come-lately species adopted the view that we are God’s gift to the world. We would not be able to exist if it were not for the hundred quadrillion or thereabouts, of bacterial cells that inhabit our bod-ies, along with ten quadrillion animal cells that shape our being. As micro-biologist, Lynn Margulis, states, “The life forms that recycle the substances of our bodies are primarily bacterial.” We are being kept ignorant of the truth that the life exterminating chemicals poured into the world by our industries are weakening and sickening the most fundamental structures of our bod-ies – for the sake of profit. When gov-ernments, to please industry, establish “tolerances” of so many parts per mil-lion (ppm), or parts per billion (ppb), they imply that tiny quantities of pes-ticides and poisons are harmless. This is not true.

Basically an Earth-centered world-view is the natural outcome of study in which a basic knowledge of natural history provides innate awareness of membership in the family of life. Life is supported by Earth, and returns to Earth upon death. Being aware of the amazing miracle of being, and know-ing the source of that being, removes much of the sense of meaninglessness that threatens many people wary of trivial pursuits of our times. To real-ize that we are cousins to all other liv-ing things is no little accomplishment. It is also an understanding that power structures choose to deny.

Getting dirty may be healthy

For much of human history we lived close to the natural world. As civilization evolved we became increasingly urbanized, and most of us now live in cit-ies. As we’ve moved away from nature, we’ve seen a decline in other forms of life. Biodiversity is disappearing. The current rate of loss is perhaps as high as 10,000 times the natural rate. The Inter-national Union for Conserva-tion of Nature’s 2008 Red List of Threatened Species shows 16,928 plant and animal species are threatened with extinction. This includes a quarter of all mammal species, a third of amphibian spe-cies and an eighth of bird species. And that’s only among those we know about; scientists say we may have identified just 10 to 15 per cent of existing species.

It can be a challenge to com-municate why this loss is impor-tant. We know species diversity is critical to the healthy functioning of ecosystems that provide ser-vices on which humans depend. But could we live with fewer? Some would argue we could do without mosquitoes and other annoying critters. We could keep the ones we want and those that are useful to us. Do we need bio-diversity to keep humans healthy?

According to an article in Con-

servation magazine, there is a link between biodiversity and human health. Ilkka Hanski and his col-leagues at the University of Hel-sinki compared allergies of ado-lescents living in houses sur-rounded by biodiverse natural areas to those living in landscapes of lawns and concrete. They found people surrounded by a greater diversity of life were themselves covered with a wider range of different kinds of microbes than those in less diverse surround-ings. They were also less likely to exhibit allergies.

What’s going on? Discussion of the relationship between bio-diversity and human health is not new. Many have theorized that our disconnection from nature is leading to a myriad of ail-ments. Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods, says people who spend too little time outdoors experience a range of behavioural problems, which he calls “nature deficit disorder.” It fits with theories of modern ecol-ogy, which show systems lacking in biodiversity are less resilient, whether they’re forests or micro-bial communities in our stomachs or on our skin. Less resilient sys-tems are more subject to invasion by pathogens or invasive species.

Hanski studied a region in Fin-land where few people move far. He randomly selected 118 ado-lescents in an equal number of homes. Some were in the city and others in woods or on farms. The team collected skin swabs from subjects and then measured the biodiversity of plants around each house. Their data revealed a clear pattern: higher native-plant diversity appeared to be associ-ated with altered microbial com-position on the participants’ skin, which led in turn to lower risk of

allergies.Hanski and his colleagues

found that one group of microbes, gammaproteobacteria, appears to be associated both with plant diversity and allergies. And it didn’t matter whether they con-sidered allergies to cats, dogs, horses, birch pollen or timothy grass. People with more diverse kinds of gammaproteobacteria on their bodies were less likely to have allergies.

The immune system’s primary role is to distinguish deadly spe-cies from beneficial and beneficial from simply innocent. To work effectively, our immune system needs to be “primed” by exposure to a diverse range of organisms at an early age. In this way it learns to distinguish between good, bad and harmless. If not exposed to a wide array of species, it may mistakenly see a harmless pollen grain as something dangerous and trigger an allergic reaction. We also know that bacteria and fungi compete. Fungi are often associ-ated with allergies, and it could be that high diversity of bacteria keeps the fungi in check.

A conclusive explanation for Hanski’s observations is not yet available. More research is needed. But we know we evolved in a world full of diverse spe-cies and now inhabit one where human activity is altering and destroying an increasing number of plants, animals and habitats. We need to support conservation of natural areas and the diverse forms of life they contain, plant a variety of species in our yards, avoid antibacterial cleaning prod-ucts and go outside in nature and get dirty – especially kids. Our lives and immune systems will be richer for it.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Burton

Building upon the amazing suc-cess of this summer’s market, the Burton Farmer’s Market is hosting their second annual Christmas Craft Fair and Lunch on Saturday, Novem-ber 16 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Christmas Fair will be held at the Burton Community Hall and the Bur-

ton Fire Hall. Admission is $2 at the door.

This year, the Burton Christ-mas Fair will have over 25 vendors on display. With admission, visitors will have a chance to win fabulous door prizes. Each vendor contrib-utes an item from their table to cre-ate door prize baskets. Local Burton musicians, Barb and Lindsay, will be

Getting out and about without a motor of one’s own

As most of us would agree, safe, reliable and affordable transportation is key to ensuring that seniors remain safe, active and independent to the maximum degree possible. This is espe-cially the case for those resid-ing within small neighbourhood clusters common to our region, all the way through to the central-ized Village of Nakusp and the surrounding area.

I happened to be standing in line waiting for customer ser-vice at one of the local shops when the voice of an impatient-sounding customer located next

in line,decided to voice his opin-ion regarding a presumed lack of public transportation available.

Unsubstantiated as it appeared to be, his strongly-held opin-ion set me thinking about what transportation services are actu-ally available to members of the public, especially to those of us who don’t have a vehicle of their own to get around the commu-nity. Like so many others, I had become thoroughly dependent on my little red number so I could � y off at the touch of the accel-erator to wherever my needs required it to be.

I commenced to ponder on the question of accessibility, when the answer arrived quite sud-denly early last summer. Admit-tedly, for some weeks I had begun to suspect that my almost vintage model four-wheeler had just about reached the end of its useful life on the road. After 17 years of much-appreciated ser-vice, the signs were growing more evident, as was the ques-tion of how I would manage the acquisition of a reliable replace-ment vehicle. How to get through

at least the summer months until another suitable number could be found?

After sensing an unmistake-able shudder followed by chug-ging, shaking and an audible poof, the voice of silence � nally descended. The end had arrived as long predicted, and now all I could do was to call on my local mechanic to hear the � nal pro-nouncement. Needless to say, the answer was clear and before the day was over, my dear old gal was hitched up and speedily headed off to the recycling yard, where it was destined to join countless other metal constructs waiting for disassembly in the wings.

The time had arrived, not long after our � nal parting, when I would seriously need to begin the unavoidable task of � nding a way to get around consistently and without bothering all but a few of my dearly-appreciated friends and nearby neighbours who had immediately stepped in to help cover the bases until I could arrive at a � nal transporta-tion plan.

It’s true that we do indeed

have a variety of options available in our search to get out and about depending on individual circum-stances. These include access to car rental, commercial taxi and various emergency and recreational resources for use during the warm weather, such as wheelchairs and mobility aids, bicycles (motorized or not), various traditional methods such as hitching up the horses and wagons – which in time may well become for many of us, a transportation mainstay just as it

once was according to our elders. At this juncture, I was also reminded that I thankfully came into being as most of us do, out� tted with a reasonably sturdy pair of walking sticks comi-cally referred to as “legs.”

My next column will introduce readers to another chapter concerning the joys of living and getting around the Nakusp area with greater ease than one might imagine, courtesy of our bus system within the Village, the region and beyond.

performing to add some local charm and wonderful music to the event.

The expanded Christmas Fair will accommodate a variety of vendors, including baking, fresh produce, knitting, jewellery, wood furniture, soaps, and a variety of crafts and food items. This year, there will be an oppor-tunity to purchase your Christ-mas tree, with all proceeds being donated to a local non-pro� t organization. Burton’s very own coffee baristas Bob and Vivien will be on hand to prepare spe-cialty coffees such as cappucci-nos and lattes. All coffee sales

will be donated back to the Bur-ton Farmer’s Market to help with future market development.

Once again, the Burton Full Gospel Church will be host-ing the lunch. A hot lunch will be served at the church from 11 a.m.–2 p.m. and the cost will be by donation. All proceeds from the lunch will be forwarded to a third world non-pro� t organi-zation. The church has recently undergone some major reno-vations and Pastor Dan Free-man and his wife Laura is very pleased to open up their reno-vated space to the community.

According to market orga-

nizer Petra Allen “We are very pleased with the positive response from vendors. We have had to expand to a second build-ing in order to facilitate addi-tional vendors who wanted to participate in this year’s event.”

The Burton Farmer’s Mar-ket is very grateful to local resi-dents and visitors for their ongo-ing support and patronage. Your support has created a buzz about the Burton Market that continues to build. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to start your Christ-mas shopping and kick off the Christmas spirit.

Come gather around the fire pits and visit with folks after stuffing yourself full of a deluxe pig roast dinner.

NSS Cougars fall to chaos at provincials, this time

Entropy is a way of describing the disorder and randomness in any given system; when you add cream to a cup of coffee and stir, the resulting mix would be in a high state of entropy because the individual substances cant be sep-arated once joined.

At the heart of sport there exists a state of entropy because the infi-nite possible outcomes of any given contest defy all attempts to logically isolate winning factors into a successful formula. Sys-tems can be developed, skills can be honed and plays can be prac-ticed, but just ask any fantasy pool owner and they’ll be able to tell you that on any given day, nothing is certain. The addiction is this: every once in a while, the correct coagulation of skill, belief, effort and teamwork manages to trans-form desire into results as the chaos falls into order and the body gets that winning shot of endor-phins.

This having been said, the pres-ence of the Nakusp Cougars at the B.C. School Soccer A provincials is nothing to be taken for granted; effort and sacrifice are essential to any winning equation regardless of the chaos. It is essential that we maintain the understanding that the phenomenon of making it to the provincial stage doesn’t become ordinary just because Nakusp holds onto a long tradi-tion of attendance.

Provincial qualification does not just happen, it is something that the boys earn through hard work that is supported by a net-work of people who take care of the fringes of the chaos. It is through philanthropic acts like Cheryl Black volunteering her van to be used as transportation to Abbotsford, or Jay Gardner step-ping into the unexpected coaching vacancy that create opportunities for the boys to be relived of the details and focus solely on their performance.

The B.C. School Sports soccer A provincials is a three-day event where 16 teams from around the province battle for the coveted “banner” which is awarded to the winner of the tournament. There are seven zones and each zone is allocated a number of berths based on a no-nonsense formula of population. The resulting 16 teams are divided into four pools based on a regular season seed-ing system. In the first round, each pool engages in a round robin format with points awarded for wins and draws. The results of the pool play shuffles the teams into a cross-pool match, which then determines the ordering for the final games that position fin-ishing places. This year, the Cou-gars were thrown into a pool with old familiars Glenlyon, Kelowna Christian and new comers, Hazel-ton.

The first match against Kelowna Christian was characterized by the metallic thrum of the ball hit-ting our goal post five times as the frantic Kelowna offence exploited our defensive line. The funeral knell overpowered the resolve of our Nakusp athletes, and despite several glimpses of outstanding soccer, the Cougars fell to a diffi-cult 1-3 loss.

In the next game against Glen-lyon, the frantic pressure of Kelowna was replaced by the calm, controlled patience of a well-disciplined squad. The Cou-gars, relieved of the constant pressure in the defensive zone, responded in kind to the Glen-lyon’s technical game and, for the first half, both teams put on a clinic of finally executed soc-cer. Glenlyon floated a couple of uncatchable shots over the head of keeper Ryan Deacoff, but the game was still within reach at the half. Unfortunately, the second half found the game inexorably slipping in favour of Glenlyon, and the Cougars could not hold up against the patient attack of their opponents. The Glenlyon offence managed to find the back of the

net seven times without being answered by our own offence.

On the next morning the heav-ens opened up, and the famous west coast weather drenched pitch and player for the early morn-ing game against Hazelton. Both teams were looking for their first pool win and clashed head to head right of the whistle. The game was a mash-up of dirty dangles and just enough introverted push and shove go unnoticed by the ref. Hazelton drew first blood with a slick goal through an opening in the defensive line, but was quickly retorted by our own Nate Hawe before the half was up. Hazelton regrouped during the five-minute respite and charged back on the field with a new game plan that pushed our Cougar’s backs up against a wall. For 35 minutes the only time the ball left our defen-sive zone was to be placed on the centreline for an after-goal kick off. The Cougars were caught exposed and could not solve the quagmire of the Hazelton’s offen-sive pressure; we bowed our heads to a 1-3 loss.

The Cougars were wrestled to the bottom of the pool and faced

the cross over match against Fra-ser Lake, who were similarly 0-4 in pool play. The resulting con-test was a match that heralded a return to the fundamentals and basic movement that garnered success during the regular sea-son. The pace was quick, the ball was moved from east to west and the field opened up a number of open lanes for our offensive pow-erhouses to gather speed and ham-mer away at the net. A stellar per-formance earned the boys their first big W to the tune of 4-0 and settled their chances at 13th or 14th place in the tournament.

The provincial tournament was going to be summed up with a match against Mulgrave pri-vate school and the Cougars con-fidently took the field fresh off the success of the previous game. Back to basics, play your own game and trust in the system were the mantras Jay Gardner intoned during the warm up, and with a ferocious roar of “Mugndi!” the boys engaged in their battle.

Sport is a funny thing; a team can do everything right and seem-ingly have the correct game plan, but any number of x-factors can

affect the outcome and nothing is guaranteed out on the field. Per-plexed, the boys escorted the 14th place plaque off the soccer pitch in game that could only be described as unlucky. A random bounce, a slip of the cleats and shots that couldn’t quite thread the needle into the onion sac amounted to a bewildering 0-2 loss for the Cou-gars.

At some point analysis can come dangerously close to the act of making excuses, and the boys will have to walk that line in the aftermath of their performance at the provincials. The concept of entropy is not an excuse, just as earning an invitation to provin-cials is not the desired end to the means. Our boys in grey can be proud of their individual efforts, whose skill can stand up against anything we witnessed during the course of competition, but the provincial chaos broke us down, and any team, on any given day, is not just the sum of its individ-ual parts.

The good news? We have a whole year to stoke the smoulder-ing burn of retaliation into a froth-ing blaze for next season.

Birds of Nakusp takes a trip Down Under

For the last 18 days, I have been leading a birding tour in north-eastern Queensland, Aus-tralia. There were 10 of us in all, all from B.C. except one from Manitoba. Six of the partici-pants had never been to Australia before. The trip started and ended in Cairns; in between we visited coastal rainforests, upland rain-forests, the drier forests a little further west, the arid lands even further west, plus an assortment of wetlands.

Before the trip began, I was hoping we would see 250 species. In the end we had a list of 273. I

cannot begin to name all the spe-cies we saw, but I will outline a few highlights. There were times when the birds I considered to be highlights were not so highly thought of by all participants. This shortlist will include those that the I appreciated plus those the group most enjoyed.

Without doubt, we all agreed that our best sighting was the Southern Cassowary. Not only did we see this prehistoric look-ing creature, but we spent almost 30 minutes watching two adults and a four-week-old chick bath-ing and playing in a stream. The adults would completely sub-merge their entire bodies with just a head above water. The young one tried to submerge once or twice, but just couldn’t quite get the hang of it. They all seemed to enjoy the relief from the heat.

Another highlight was the few hours we spent at Cumberland Dam, well inland from the coast, near Georgetown. This is arid country and available water is a big draw to birds, especially dur-

ing the period of drought which is currently affecting this part of the country. There are actu-ally two large ponds here and it was sometimes difficult to know which one to watch. We spent a total of five hours watching the ponds at the end of one day and the beginning of the next. In all, 78 species were seen at the ponds. Perhaps 25 of them were water birds, but the rest just came in to drink or bathe. There was an abundance of birdlife present, but clearly the stars of the show on this day were the Budgerigars. While many have seen these little parrots in cages, it’s completely different to see flocks of several hundred wild budgies wheeling around in the sky in tight flocks. They seemed to be quite hesitant to come down, and when a flock did decide to drink, it was indeed a quick sip; touching down for perhaps two seconds before wheeling way again. There were other parrots there, too. Cocka-tiels, Galahs, Red-tailed Black-Cockatoos, Rainbow Lorikeets,

and Red-winged Parrots all drank at the ponds.

One of the harder groups of birds to see in arid Australia is the finch fam-ily. These small birds disperse over the open arid country during the day in search of seeds. They are almost impossible to find during the day. But at the beginning and end of each day they visit waterholes to drink. Four

species came during our time there: Masked Finch, Black-throated Finch, Double-barred Finch and Zebra Finch.

This week I have described our “best bird,” the Cassowary, and our best location, the arid outback town of Georgetown. Next time I’ll intro-duce you to some of the other tropi-cal delights we encountered during our travels.

Squeeze the most out of your life with juicingIt can be hard to squeeze the daily recommended amount of veggies and fruit into your diet, unless of course you juice.

Most experts agree that one of the keys to health is to focus on good nutrition. While some are at odds about how many carbs ver-sus proteins are neces-sary to a balanced diet, almost all say that we need to maximize our vitamins and minerals from fruit and vegeta-bles.

Every health author-ity in the world rec-ommends six to eight servings of fruit and vegetables a day. This

is tough to achieve and maintain for many with the pace of our daily lives. Taking the time to plan and prepare three nutritious meals and multiple healthy, bal-anced snacks every single day can be a chore in itself.

According to Dr. Joseph Mer-cola, one of the web’s leading health and wellness experts, cooking food using any method begins to deplete its nutritional value.

“I am firmly convinced that the benefits of juicing are the keys to giving you a radiant, energetic life, and truly optimal health,” he has declared. “I’ve said this in the other levels of this nutrition plan, but it’s so important I’ll say it again: valu-able and sensitive micronutri-ents become damaged when you heat foods.”

Thus the raw trend, which takes vegetarian and vegan to a whole new level. Juicing allows you to receive the nutritional benefits of several raw, fresh foods at the same time as well as making them more enjoyable.

The best fruits and vegetables to juice are organic, which are grown without pesticides which therefore won’t end up in your glass either. When choosing

what should be organic and what is okay to get from the conven-tional method, there is a list of foods called The Dirty Dozen, which are reviewed annually by the Environmental Work-ing Group. This year, the EWG recommends choosing organic apples, celery, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, grapes, hot pep-pers, nectarines, peaches, pota-toes, spinach, strawberries, and bell peppers. Foods that are low in pesticides even coming from large mono-crop farms include cantaloupe, kiwi, pineapple, peas and sweet potatoes.

If you are not a fan of cucum-bers or find beets too earthy, try juicing them. The combination of flavours in a nicely blended juice really serves to pack a nutritional punch while mak-ing produce both delicious and refreshing.

Juicing is one way to make our daily recommended intake of six to eight fruits and vegeta-bles more achievable. One glass of juice can contain half of that with minimal preparation, time and fuss.

Consider a glass contain-ing three carrots, two apples, a couple of celery stalks and some nice green lettuce leaves-

that’s four right there. With one more at each meal, you’ve hit the mark and this is easy to vary every day. The internet, the bookstore and your imagina-tion have no shortage of recipe ideas. And to get you started, here are a couple I’ve enjoyed recently.

Stay tuned for the second part of this series on juicing which deals with how to purchase a quality juicer and expands on nutritional information.

Beginner: three carrots, two apples, half a peeled lime, one cup green grapes

Intermediate: two celery stalks, four clementines or man-darin oranges, two apples, small bunch of parsley

Recipe three: one small beet, two kale leaves, two cored apples, two carrots, small piece of ginger

The Miniature Pinscher looks like a tiny Dober-man. They are short-coated and long in leg. They can weigh as little as four pounds but Reno is a bit on the large size weighing about eight. Colours are black-and-tan, and red-and tan, or solid red.

They are not actually mini-Dobes, the Min-Pin pre-dates the Doberman by hundreds of years. Bred as ratters, the MinPin is on-alert and ready for action: body and mind, they are primed to work. A dog trainer once told me, half-jokingly: “Dober-mans are the lapdogs, MinPins are the guard-dogs.”

Reno didn’t fit into his new home. He was ner-vous and could not settle. Possibly he was not get-ting enough exercise and stimulation. Here at our house, he plays for hours at a time, wrestling with our young Finnish Spitz, “Miss Kitty.” He wears a sweater and she grabs him ‘by the lapels’ and drags him around the room. At rest, he curls up behind me on the couch. Mornings, you see his full terrier per-sonality, springs for legs, boinging beside me like Tigger as I do the morning chores.

He may not have fit in at his former home but he fits in fine here. So is he a rescue looking for a home? Or do I have a new dog?

This time of year I often have peo-ple ask about fleas. Why now? Well fleas love cool damp weather. I have often gone for years in Nakusp with-out seeing fleas but with milder win-ters as we have seen in the past few years and with the damp spring and fall weather, we have been seeing more fleas than usual. Contact can be from other animals, especially cats, and from outdoors in the grass.

Fleas are strange little creatures. The larvae can remain dormant for years and then “come alive” at the first indication that a host is available. Seriously! How can you fight an insect that resourceful in its life cycle?

In my grooming shop I use a sim-ple solution. I add essential oils to my regular shampoos to create a natural flea bath. The most effective is oil of

rosemary: four drops to a bottle of half shampoo/half warm water will kill fleas in their tracks. I also add oil of rosemary to a spray bottle of water as a flea repellant.

Using a shampoo or repellent does not kill fleas that are in the house though. For this reason I do recom-mend using topical treatments such as Advantage or Revolution, avail-able only through the vet clinic. These work to kill the fleas as they bite the animal; the pet acts as a trap luring and killing the fleas in your home.

Pets with fleas will scratch and bite at themselves. Flea dirt is visible espe-cially on the back end above the tail. If you think your pet may have fleas I would be happy to do a flea check. Give me a call at Brouse Loop Ken-nels.
