8 AM TO 7 PM 7 DAYS A WEEK

Thanksgiving weekend marked by tragedy

A day meant to be spent celebrating with loved ones was instead made tragic.

A death occurred at the St. Leon’s Hot Spring on Oct 11.

A man was found to be in distress by some local peo-ple at the hot spring. They flagged down some hunters quadding in the area. Be-cause there is no cell phone service in the area, the hunt-ers were carrying emergency beacons.

Once these beacons are lit, they trigger a response

to the local RCMP call cen-tre. From there, members of the RCMP were dispatched to the site.

“We received a call for an assistance,” said Corporal Ja-son Burndred.

“An emergency beacon was activated and members went out to the area of the hot springs.”

Members of the RCMP went out, along with the Brit-ish Columbia Ambulance Service. They located a de-ceased man at the hot spring.

The death is not consid-ered suspicious at this time.

The name of the deceased has not been released.

The Fall issue of Route 3 now outThe latest issue of Black Press’ popular lifestyles magazine

Route 3 is now available on newsstands and at coffee shops around the region.

The cover story by Will Johnson looks at TheLineUp, a live show at Nelson’s Shambhala Hall hosted by Jenna Raider that mixes interviews and per-formances. It also gives Selkirk College students experience at creating a TV show, as the seg-ments are filmed and posted online.

Sheri Regnier recounts the long history of the Trail Times, which turns 120 this year. Found-ed in 1895 by W.F. Thompson as the Trail Creek News, it has undergone several name and ownership changes but has al-ways been an integral part of the community.

Andrew Tripp takes us on a tour of Route 3 through the West Boundary, stopping at historic buildings and sites along the way, including the Lawless ranch, the Schorn house at Bridesville,

the McArthur home in Greenwood, the Rock Creek Hotel, and St. Mary’s Church.

Betsy Kline writes about what might be Castlegar’s greatest jewel: Millennium Park, which boasts soccer fields, playground equipment, natural swimming pools, walking paths, and flow-

er beds. The newest addition is the Celgar Pavilion, a multi-use facility featuring a covered picnic area and concession.

Trisha Elliott talks to the found-er of Sufferfest, the annual race between Nakusp, Kaslo, and New Denver which includes trail runs, mountain biking, cyclocross, and duathlon events. Created six years ago, the event continues to grow. Participants have tripled and there are plans for a new winter triathlon.

Finally, Craig Lindsay examines how the first year has gone for the Grand Forks and Boundary Regional Agriculture So-ciety’s mobile abattoir since passing inspection. Turns out it has been extremely busy and a boon to local ranchers.

Federal election day is Monday

Nakusp Fire Chief Terry Warren paid a visit to Nakusp Elementary School on Fri-day, Oct. 9.

As part of Fire Prevention Week, Chief Warren, along with volunteer � re� ghters Greg Dobicki and Miraiah Warren, spoke to students from the kindergarten class, up to those from Grade 3.

� e group went over things which are hot and cold, what to do if a child � nds a lighter or matches, and the importance of getting out of the house when a � re is hap-pening.

Chief Warren said children are the most vulnerable in � res, and there was a big push to have smoke alarms in every sleeping room of the house, and to also have alarms on every level.

“Studies have been done that show with kids, when the alarm goes o� , they cover their heads, and if it’s outside their room they may not hear it as well, but if it’s in the room it’s more dominant, and they should

wake up,” said Warren.Part of the reason they hide is because

even though the � re� ghters are there to help, with all the equipment they wear, they look very di� erent, and the kids are scared.

To help squash these fears, � re� ghter Miriah Warren put on her gear in front of the students, everything from her boots to her gas mask, even turning on her oxygen tank.

“When the � re� ghters come in, they sound like Darth Vader, or some kind of monster with the heavy breathing appara-tus. We want them to realize that so they’re not scared of � re� ghters,” said Chief War-ren.

He said when they go into a home, they want to be able to � nd the children right away, and not have to search through clos-ets or under beds to get to them.

Another issue addressed was not going back inside while the home was still on � re. If, for example a pet has been le� inside, let � re� ghters know, so they can search for the animal.

“We don’t want them going back, be-

cause if they go into a burning house, it’s a really bad situation, and they might not make it back out,” said Warren.

Students were encouraged to be pre-

pared if a � re ever breaks out in their home. Have a meeting place a safe distance away, call 911 as quickly as possible, and never go back into a burning building.

Popular sayings - what they mean

and how they came to be.Nakusp welcomes its new Rotary Exchange Student

May Snyder has been wel-comed to Nakusp as the latest participant of the Rotary Student Exchange Program.

Snyder hails from Japan. Her hometown is the city of Nobeo-ka, in the Miyazaki prefecture, Japan’s version of a province, in the country’s southern most is-land.

She will be staying with four different families during her time in Nakusp.

This isn’t Snyder’s first time in North America. Her father is from Colorado, and she’s vis-ited the United States a couple of times.

She got involved with the Ro-tary Exchange program through her doctor, who is a Rotarion.

“It was my dream to travel abroad on exchange while I was a student,” she said.

“He called me up one day and said ‘There’s a Rotary Exchange program, and they have an open-ing. Do you want to apply?’ I said yes, and that’s kind of how this all started.”

The process was started in September of 2014. She took an exam, and in November of that year, received the news that she would be going on an exchange program. From there, she had much paperwork to fill out, in-cluding getting a passport, and filling out a visa. The whole pro-cess was completed in May of 2015.

Coming to such a small town was different for Snyder. Nobeo-ka’s population is around 127,00.

“I love it. I actually prefer small, cozy, towns.” she said.

She hasn’t experienced much of a culture shock. One thing that did surprise her was how welcoming people have been.

“They interact with you more than you expect. I really like that. It’s welcoming and warm.”

Something very different for Snyder has been the school sys-tem.

Back in Japan, school starts at 8:20 a.m., and goes until 5:30 p.m. After that, she would have basketball practise until about 8:30. She would get home around

nine, eat dinner, do her home-work, and go to bed, normally around 11:30. If she were study-ing, or going through a test peri-od she’d be up until 2:30 or 3 a.m.

Not all Japanese students have such a rigorous schedule. May’s academic program is a little dif-ferent because she’s an honours student.

She had three types of Japa-nese classes, two different math classes, and three scientific courses, physics, biology, and chemistry. Chemistry is a must, but students are able to choose between physics and biology, as well as between Japanese history and geography. Besides those, ev-eryone is in the same class.

Here, the school system is a little more liberated.

“I like it because you get to

choose your own courses, and we never have that in Japan. You get to manage your own time, and I think that’s really important growing up.”

Snyder has also gotten in-volved with a few extra-curricu-lar activities here.

“I’m currently in the volleyball team, and I’ll be on the basketball team, and I might be on the ski team, I’m still figuring that out.”

Once she’s finished with the exchange program, she plans on going back to Japan to graduate from school. Once she’s gradu-ated, she plans on attending uni-versity in the United States, and has already started applying to schools. Her focus will be on ge-netics and behavioural psychol-ogy.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Publisher: Chuck BennettPublished Thursday

by Black Press Ltd. at 89 1 Ave NW V0G 1R0 www.arrowlakesnews.com

On behalf of the council of the Village of Nakusp, I would like to assure our resi-dents that we have lis-tened to both sides of the motorized versus non-motorized issues and concerns of the rail trail.

This includes the petition, phone calls, e-mails, presenta-tion by the Inclusive Rail Trail Committee and comments from a large segment of the community.

This subject has been one that we have received an unprec-edented amount of input on and unfor-tunately, has caused a division in the com-

munity.Council’s first pri-

ority has to be safety of the trail and poten-tial liability.

We have consulted several agencies and have taken the con-cerns very seriously.

In the end we had to make a decision based on safety and liability.

We have offered to work with the commit-tee to find an alternate route and we will be putting funding into the budget to improve the trail as requested by many members of the public.

Flurry of excitement in the B.C. legislature

� ere was a � urry of excitement in the B.C. legislature last week, as Delta South independent MLA Vicki Huntington re-leased documents suggesting that a multinational manufactur-ing company continued to buy up B.C. farms for carbon o� sets a� er they said last June they would stop.

False alarm, as it turns out. Agriculture Minister Norm Let-nick clari� ed that three more farms in the Peace and Cariboo region had indeed been bought, but the company was merely following legal advice to close deals on farms that it had already agreed to purchase.

� e company, British-based cleaning product and pharma-ceutical maker Reckitt Benckiser (RB) con� rmed this. A com-pany o� cial reiterated that its program to buy farms and replant them with trees is suspended.

By the time the B.C. government became aware of this global public relations scheme, thanks to the work of NDP MLA Lana Popham and others, about 10,000 hectares of farmland was al-ready planted with seedlings. RB initially said they were buying up abandoned and unproductive farms, but local government o� cials disputed that.

RB soon realized that undermining already precarious farm-

ing communities was going to provide the opposite of the green publicity they sought, at least in B.C. � e company told me it is now looking to switch its carbon o� set program to replanting forest areas depleted by pine beetle and � re.

I’ll believe that when I see it, but on the face of it, this sounds almost as questionable as converting farmland back to forests. Pine forests need � re to regenerate, so � res have been part of the re-generation of the ecosystem since the retreat of the last Ice Age.

Beetle-kill areas are already coming back, and they were never completely denuded in any case, so the notion of man-ual planting these areas seems impractical. Most are now criss-crossed with deadfall and all but impassible.

Another situation that received little public attention was a report issued late this summer by the B.C. Forest Practices Board about forest stewardship plans.

� e board reviewed 43 stewardship plans from all regions of B.C., prepared as required under provincial law by forest tenure holders on Crown land. � ey are supposed to deal with things like where roads go and how streams are protected.

� is is the management system put in place in 2003, when the B.C. Liberal government changed its approach to forest management. Gone was the NDP’s infamous seven-volume “Forest Practices Code,” which attempted to micromanage ev-

ery detail of a timber licence, right down to inspecting for litter le� at a logging site.

In came “results-based” forest management, where licence holders had to produce a plan showing stream protection and other values. � e Forest Practices Board has found these plans o� en aren’t good for much, although results are generally good when they follow up with on-the-ground audits of actual timber harvest areas.

� e investigation found that many of the plans cover “vast and overlapping areas of the province, and were written using legal language that makes them very di� cult for public under-standing or review.” Little has changed since a similar � nding in 2006.

During that time, the forests ministry was turned into For-ests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, with greatly in-creased responsibility over wildlife, mining, gas drilling and so on.

Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald, who trav-eled the province as NDP forests critic in recent years, says the problem now is there just aren’t enough people on the ground to assess what’s going on in our huge expanse of Crown land.

Meanwhile the city media covers professional protesters issu-ing demands about the Walbran Valley.

New riding, new challenges for NeufeldWith a newly redrawn riding, the 2015 federal election campaign is

shaping up to be historical, which � ts right in with South Okanagan-West Kootenay Conservative candidate Marshall Neufeld.

He doesn’t just like history, he lives in it.“I love history in general, so it was natural for me when I was buy-

ing my house to buy a heritage house,” Neufeld said.He’s spent a lot of hours restoring his 1956 heritage home near

downtown Penticton for the past � ve years. Of course, time is in short supply during an election campaign.

Neufeld has been a realtor in Penticton for seven years, a busi-ness started by his grandfather in 1949. While living in Vancouver he worked at Lion’s Gate Hospital for a year in rehabilitation assistance. He then came back to Penticton to work at the Village by the Station as a recreation therapist.

“� e furthest thing from politics possible,” Neufeld said.However, politics has always been in the mix. Neufeld volunteered

for the Stockwell Day campaign in 2000 while he was still in high school and hasn’t stopped.

“It’s the same desire I’ve had throughout my life which is to try to serve and help people. During that time working for Stockwell, I saw the amount of good that one MP can have in their community if they’re working really hard and listening to their constituents.”

� e brand new riding of South Okanagan-West Kootenay raises some new challenges with both the diversity of communities (112,000 people) and physical size.

“Whoever the MP is will have to ensure they do a lot of travelling and make sure that all the constituents throughout the riding, no mat-ter where they live, that they feel well represented and feel connected to their member of parliament,” Neufeld said.

He’s been knocking on doors during the long campaign and � nds that many people are bringing up the same issues on the federal level.

“� ey’re the national concerns of jobs, the economy and taxation issues,” Neufeld said. “You do hear a whole variety of questions at the doorstep, but that’s by far the most common thing.”

Airport infrastructure is another common issue brought up.“Penticton, Castlegar, Trail, all three of them have issues with the

airport,” Neufeld said.He noted the past e� orts of Stockwell Day and MLA Rick � orpe

who pushed for a four-lane highway between Penticton and Kelowna, and that he hopes to bring that same determination to airport infra-structure. � e federal government has already made a promise to ex-pand the waiting area for the Penticton Airport, but there’s more to be done Neufeld said.

“� at’s still just the � rst step, the ticketing area is too small to have the increased number of � ights that we want to have in Penticton,” Neufeld said, adding it needs a general faceli� to the area as a whole. “I still think if there would be a way to achieve having a � ight to Edmon-ton as well, I think we need to be getting that.”

Another key issue in Neufeld’s campaign is expanding markets for fruit growers. Last year, the Conservative government signed an inter-national trade deal with China to sell B.C. cherries overseas.

“� is past year is the � rst year that we had a crop that went over there, and according to the industry’s own numbers that’s meant a $20 million boost annually,” Neufeld said.

“� at’s why I’m a believer in free trade. I think we need to continue signing more agreements that keep the interests of Canadian business and industry in mind,” he said. “If we have fruit producers who are saying that they have wasted their crop at the end of the year, we need to � nd them a new market. For cherries we’ve done that.”

Other fruit producers have been asking for an expansion of mar-kets as well, according to Neufeld.

“If I’m elected I’m happy to be working with all of our fruit produc-ers to try and � nd new markets and advocate to the Minister of Inter-national Trade to go and try and sign similar agreements.”

What you need to know before voting in Nakusp

October 19 will soon be here, and with that comes the 2015 Cana-dian federal election. Arrow Lakes News has put together informa-tion to help residents get ready.

Registering to vote� e easiest way for a

resident to see if they’re registered is to visit elections.ca. If you need help using the website, or require computer ac-cess, sta� at the Nakusp Public Library are on site to lend a hand.

If residents can’t reg-ister online, they can register by mail, by contacting their local Elections Canada o� ce. � ey can also register in person at the o� ce if they wish to do so.

� e deadline to reg-ister to vote is Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 6 p.m. local time.

When and where to vote

Nakusp residents can vote in the ad-vanced polls, which happen Friday, Oct. 9 to Monday, Oct. 12 at the Nakusp and District Sports Centre in the au-ditorium. Polls are open from noon to 8 p.m.

On election day vot-ers can cast their vote at the Nakusp and District Sports Centre in the au-ditorium. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. lo-cal time.

Votes can also be cast by mail or at the Elections Canada o� ce. � ose who wish to do so must apply for those options before Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 6 p.m.

What to bring� ere are three op-

tions to prove your identity and address when voting.

• Your driver’s li-cense

• Your provincial or territorial ID card

• Any other govern-ment card with your name, photo, and cur-rent address.

ORShow two pieces of

ID, one of which should have your current ad-dress. � ese can be one of several things, including a health card, Canadian pass-port, birth certi� cate, citizenship card, social insurance card, bank statement, credit union statement, blood donor card, CNIB card, or a Canadian Forces iden-tity card. A full list is available at elections.ca

ORIf your ID does not

have a current address, you can take an oath.

You must show two pieces of ID with your name, and someone who knows you to vouch for your address. � is person must have proof of identity and address, be registered in the same polling sta-tion, and vouch for only one person.

Deciding how to vote

Unlike the United States, Canadians don’t

vote directly for a new Prime Minister. Rather, we vote for the Mem-ber of Parliament who will represent us in our electoral district. Some vote based on whom they think will repre-sent their district best, others vote for the par-

ty whose platform they agree with.

� e ability to vote is a constitutional right, and one that should not be taken lightly. If resi-dents want a say in how their country is run, they need to cast their ballot.

Gray goes independentBrian Gray has thrown his hat into mix for the

2015 federal election in the South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding out of concern for his country.

“I was concerned with the fact that our country’s prime minister was supporting a facist Nazi regime in the Ukraine,” said Gray. “He is giving over $600 million dollars of our tax dollars to support them. A lot of people say ‘Oh that can’t be the case’ well it is.”

And Gray said more people are starting to under-stand.

“I couldn’t accept the fact that our country was supporting a Nazi regime in the Ukraine. � e unbe-lievable � nancial situation our globe is in too,” add-ed Gray. “I have presented policies that can address those concerns and get us out of this mess.”

Before putting his name forward, Gray was en-joying retirement. He loves gardening, playing golf and barbecuing.

“Other than that I don’t do a heck of a lot,” he laughed.

Gray, 66, was born and raised in Vancouver and has spent the last 14 years in the Okanagan, includ-ing 11 in Penticton. His work experience ranges from working in the forest industry, including pull-ing lumber o� the green chain at Gorman Brothers Lumber Ltd. in Westbank back when “it was just held together with bailing wire and chewing gum.”

“Pulling lumber o� a green chain in the middle of winter with no canopy on it and it’s snowing at 2 a.m. — it could test your mettle,” he said.

For 20 years he worked for TBC Teletheatre, a betting outlet for horse racing. He did that in Kam-loops and helped set up operations in Salmon Arm, Victoria, Duncan, Nanaimo and Kelowna.

“I was looking forward to this summer to try to enjoy my retired life on the limited income I have,” said Gray. “� is election has kind of intervened.”

Gray’s election platform is based on research from the Committee for Republic of Canada, which he is a member of, and American political econo-mist Lyndon LaRouche. One of the topics in Gray’s platform is restoring the pillars of banking regula-tions. In his brochure, it states that Canada’s banks functioned within the framework of regulations known as the “4 Pillars” (aka: Canada’s Glass-Stea-gall) which served to separate commercial, invest-ment, trusts and insurance banking transactions.

“� e policies I’m putting forward have certainly found their impetus from my a� liation with CRC and the LaRouche organization, but they are just common sense,” he said. “I’m not the only person talking about that. Other political organizations are doing that.”

Gray, who can be found every Saturday at the Penticton Farmer’s Market, said he is surprised at the number of people who are in agreement with his policies. � ey encourage him to keep going.

“To be frank, I know there’s virtually no way I’m ever going to win this thing,” he said. “I’m cam-paigning to win. I just want to get these policies in the political debate.

Rosslander runs for the GreensRossland resident Samantha Troy became the Green party candi-

date for South Okanagan-West Kootenay on Sept. 13. Since then, she’s been kept busy � lling out paperwork, attending debates and meeting constituents.

Troy was inspired to run when she learned there was no Green party candidate for the riding. She liked the Green party’s platform and decided someone should run for the party.

“With the world as it is we need to start making some really con-crete ... choices,” she said. “ I sure like the way Elizabeth May has pre-sented herself over her time in parliament, and not too much research to go look up the Green party platform and go, ‘Wow, that really makes sense, and it’s actually pretty doable.’ And for all those reasons we should have a candidate in this riding, and I can be that candidate.”

Troy is a mother of one, and has been living in Rossland since 1996. She said she tries to be active in the community, and she works at Red Mountain, where she’s involved with the union.

As a teen, Troy also volunteered with a local theatre company in Kamloops.

“I learned so much stu� there, and it was a pretty big responsibility,” she said. “It really instilled a good sense of teamwork.”

For Troy, the most important issue this election is changing the election system.

“I think I feel most strongly about working hard with all the parties to get proportional representational voting,” she said.

Moving away from a fossil-fuel based economy is also important to her.

“I’d really like to see us branching out into more sustainable op-tions, embracing new technology,” said Troy.

� e Green candidate has spent a lot of her life working outdoors, and she said, “I really get it that our economy and our environment

are so intertwined.”Asked what she thought the election issues were for Rosslanders,

Troy said, “I think I need to talk to a lot more Rosslanders, and just ask their direct opinions as to what their concerns are.”

So far, Troy said she gets the impression that the main concern for Rosslanders is electing a di� erent government than the one that’s been in power for the past nine years.

“� at seems to be louder than any of their individual issues,” she said.

She also thinks that Rosslanders are generally pretty concerned about the environment.

“We’re a tourist town. We need snow on our ski hill, and if it’s not coming there’s only so much laissez faire, that’s just the way the weath-er goes, sort of perspective before you really need to go, ‘No, we want to maintain our jobs, and we want to maintain our place as an active resort destination.’ ”

Troy encourages Rosslanders to contact her via email at [email protected] to share their concerns.

It was just recently that I became aware of a free and in my opinion highly infor-mative and valuable program o� ering non-emergency health advice to residents of Nakusp and all other parts of BC.

By simply dialing three numbers on your telephone (8-1-1) at any time of the day or night throughout the entire year, we can consult with a BC registered nurse concerning any number of non-emergen-cy health conditions or symptoms which may be arising within one’s life.

In addition, we can speak with a phar-macist about medications, obtain help in acquiring information concerning healthy

eating choices from a dietician or identify the various public health services located within the Village of Nakusp and other communities throughout the region.

By dialing 8-1-1 on your telephone, a registered nurse for example, can help by discussing symptoms and procedures con-cerning non-emergency situations, and can also help one on the subject of seeing a physician or going to the hospital.

In the case of consulting with a phar-macist, we can learn how and when to take over-the-counter cold medications with a new prescription provided by your doc-tor. You can also obtain information about the side e� ects of prescription drugs. Note that a pharmacist is on call at 8-1-1 every night between the hours of 5pm to 9am when a community pharmacist may be unavailable in person to help to respond to medication questions.

As to obtaining advice on how to main-tain a healthy diet including the best choice for certain health conditions, a dietician is available at 8-1-1 every weekday to discuss

dietary choices and provide nutritional ad-vice.

In addition to using a telephone, we can check one’s symptoms, learn about health conditions and identify the services need-ed by clicking this resource (an on-line computerized service) which o� ers medi-cally approved information on the subject of over 4,000 health-related topics and 2,500 ervices located within the searchable data base as well as the over-the-counter drug information contained in the com-prehensive medication library.

� e integrated search and mapping function of the new navigation resource helps us to � nd the health services needed which are located closest to where we live.

In addition, this service has published a book on the subject of how to recognize and cope with common health concerns, preventing illness, home treatment and when to see a health professional. It is available for the asking.

In the case of a medical emergency, call 9-1-1 when immediate action is required.

2015

� is season starts on Sunday October 25, with ENSEMBLE CA-PRICE. A baroque ensemble which performs on period instruments, Ensemble Caprice was founded by acclaimed recorder soloist Matthias Maute and has become known for its innovative and adventuresome approach to an increasingly musical repertoire. “� e artists’ involvement and infectious enjoyment through body rhythms and expression, were what music should always be about” � e Washington Post.

� e second concert is on Sun-day, January 10th. with GALENA TRIO. � e trio shares a contagious passion for the art of chamber mu-sic. Formed in the summer of 2011 by cellist Johanne Perron, pianist Susanne Ruberg-Gordon and clar-inetist Nicola Everton while on fac-ulty at the Valhalla Summer School of Music. Although all three artists are individually busy professional performers and educators, their joint musicianship is recognized by their warm, intelligent and passionate per-formances.

Our third concert is the return of BLACKTHORN, on Saturday, March 5th. Blackthorn, a Celtic Band that saw its � rst inception back in 1989 when a small group of expats found a common interest in a music that wasn’t all that common in Vancou-ver at the time. Since then the group has travelled a long road through the streets of traditional and not-so-tra-ditional Celtic music. Blackthorn’s extensive repertoire celebrates the traditional music of Scotland and Ireland as well as folk music of En-glish and French Canada. � ey can rip up a reel, bounce along with a jig, pull your heart strings with a mourn-ful ballad and have you singing along to a favourite old time tune.

� e fourth concert is on Sunday, April 3rd. ENSEMBLE VIVANT. Since its inception almost 3 decades ago, Ensemble Vivant has been a pi-oneer in the piano Chamber music world, championing exciting inno-

vative programming ranging from Classical to Latin, and other Jazz styles. � e group’s rich genre diver-sity, depth of artistry, and passion-ate, virtuosic interpretations receive accolades internationally. To quote jazz great Rick Wilkins, “� is is the highest-level chamber music mak-ing. No matter the genre, there is magic in Ensemble Vivant’s music making”.

� e � nal concert of this season’s Concert Series is on Sunday, May 8th. with SARAH HAGEN. ‘When as a child I � rst understood what it meant to pull notes o� a page, throw them into the air, and wonder at their magical e� ects, I knew that music would forever be my life: my oxygen, my solace, my o� ering.’ Sar-ah Hagen has been heard in concert halls and on airwaves throughout North America and Europe. Her in-terpretations have been described as “outstandingly inventive,” performed with “in� nite skill”. She is BC Tour-ing Council’s 2015 Artist of the year! As this is Mother’s Day the Arts Council is planning to have a lunch or dinner, at one of the local restau-rants, connected to this concert.

All the concerts start at 7:30 pm except for May 8th, which will start at 2:00 pm. � e Arrow Lakes District Arts Council also holds two Com-munity Artists’ Concerts. � ey will be held on Sunday, December 13 and Sunday, April 17. � ese concerts are fund raisers for the Arts Council, and there is a donation jar at the door, for them. � e time for these concerts is 2:00 pm.

� e ticket prices for the concert series are $25.00 for adults, $20.00 for seniors, and $15.00 for students. Children under six are free. � ere is also a Family rate: $50.00 [2+2]. If you want a reserved seat for the concert series, you must purchase 3 or more concerts from the Concert Series. To purchase tickets, or get further information. please contact Marilyn Massey, concert coordina-tor, at 250.265-4087.

September 24, 2015.

The daughter of Rudolph and Dallas Kamlah, from Ladner, B.C.Born June 1st, 1936 in Ladner, B.C. Brothers Dennis of Ladner, Jerry of Dease Lake, B.C. and Ron (de-ceased) of Ladner B.C. Funeral services will be held Friday October 23, 2015 at Robertson Memorial United Church, Nakusp, B.C.

To Dr. Lea, Hilary Bitten and the residents of Nakusp.We wish to thank all who phoned, visited, brought

food, cards, fl owers and best wishes.

THERE IS NOTHING BIGGER THAN A SMALL TOWN.

From the family of Lenora Moorhouse

SIGRIDKATHARINA

ZERRATHIt is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of

our Mother, Sigrid Katharina Zerrath, nee von Maydell, 19th of

September 2015, in the Palliative Care Unit of the Saanich Peninsula Hospital, aged 86, of renal failure. She has gone to meet her husband of 53 years, Roger Zerrath, who prepared the way for her 6 years earlier.

Sigrid was born 20th of July 1929, to Arnold and Anna (nee Schwarz) von Maydell, in Riga, Latvia. She survived the Great Depression, the 2nd World War, and the after war period. She moved to En-gland, learned English, and trained to be a Regis-tered Nurse in London, specializing in Midwifery. Thereafter, she joined her brothers in Vancouver, BC, Canada, immediately being hired by the Van-couver General Hospital. She met Roger, marrying him 1st of December 1956, and began dairy farming with him 1st of September 1958 in the Fraser Val-ley. In March of 1970 they moved to Edgewood, their home for 40 years, building up the farm there, all the while. After Roger’s passing, she moved to Sidney, BC for her remaining 5 1/2 years.

She was industrious, auto-didactically learning all that was necessary for the rural, dairy farming life. She was tenacious, enduring many hardships and sorrows. Fortunately, she was also adaptable enough for all the challenges, changes and vagaries encoun-tered throughout. Above all else, she was interested in all of the world and it’s people, adding breadth and scope to all our lives. She leaves behind her sisters-in-law Ilona Zerrath (Aumuehle, Germa-ny) and Ingeborg von Maydell (Vancouver, BC); daughter, Anne (David) Zerrath of Sidney, BC; son, Hans (Donna) Zerrath, who continues family farm in Edgewood, BC; and 6 beloved grandchildren — Roger and Matthew (and their mother, Jennifer), and Katherine, Samuel, Johannes, and Sophia.

Her Funeral Service was the 10th of October, 2015, in the Edgewood Legion Hall. A small “Celebration of Life” will be held in Sidney at a later date, yet to be determined. In lieu of owers, please consider making a donation to the Canadian Red Cross.

She is missed. We are grateful for her life.

A blast from the pastNakusp got a blast from the past on

Oct. 9, when the Arrow Lakes Historical Society featured a slide show exhibit of some of the photos of Jean Spicer.

Spicer passed away in 1990, and in 1999 her family donated her photos to the Historical Society, all 1,539 of them.

The photos ranged in date from the 50s to the 80s, and had everything from a car driving through a flooded road, a stun-ning shot of Mount Halcyon rising above the village, to surreal photo of a moun-tain and lake, where the water was so still, the reflection was practically a mirror.

Kyle Kusch, a member of the ALHS, hosted the show and said it was difficult figuring out which photos would make the cut. It took him about a day to go through all of them.

“They’re all great, but you only want a certain amount on so many topics. You can’t have all mining photos, all parade photos, all lake photos, you have to have a somewhat equal amount of everything.”

The collection offered a chance to see shots of life in Nakusp before the valley was flooded as part of the Columbia Rive

Treaty in the 60s.Many of the photos were damaged

by exposure to light, and had to be run through a processing software system in order to be returned to their original state.

Those who attended the event were very impressed.

“It was great. I think it’s the third of fourth show we’ve seen that Kyle has put together, and he’s just great at selecting the right photos and bringing out the best.” said Bianca Neidhardt.

The complete collection of Jean Spic-er’s photos can be found at the archives of the Arrow Lakes Historical Society.

Birds of Nakusp Gary DavidsonIf you like to feed birds in the winter then it’s

time to dig out the feeders and give them a good cleaning. In the early fall, the resident birds such as chickadees, nuthatches, juncos and jays, begin to establish their winter feeding territories. Once the birds have found an area that can provide them with sufficient food, they tend to stay with it, as long as the supply holds up. If your address isn’t on the territory by early winter, then it might never be! Some of the other birds likely to visit winter feeders, such as redpolls, grosbeaks and goldfinch-es have not arrived in the area yet. But if you want to improve your chances of attracting these spe-cies, your feeders must be up when they arrive. I usually put mine up in early October.

Some people have questioned whether or not providing food at this time of year will cause birds to abandon their normal foods, or perhaps delay their migration. The available evidence suggests that most birds utilize a variety of foods through-out the day; they will not just sit at a feeder and gorge themselves all day long. It seems more likely that most birds use feeders to supplement their normal diet, rather than to replace it. There is little research that suggests that winter bird feeding is in any way harmful to a bird’s health, except in those cases where people provide inappropriate food. Bread, for example, contains bulk but very little food value. There have been cases where birds have filled up on such “empty foods” and then

died overnight, their bodies not having the energy to keep warm. Each year I see one or two feeders around town that include a lot of table scraps. This is probably not a good idea. The only birds likely to be attracted to such a feeder would be crows, ravens, starlings, and possibly Steller’s Jays. These are very aggressive birds. Once they move in, it is very unlikely that other species will get much to eat. Putting feeders out in October is also unlikely to affect migration patterns. Most migrants have left by then; and those that haven’t are generally not the seed eaters, so they will not be tempted by your feeders.

The best foods to provide local winter birds are seeds, (especially sunflower), and beef fat. Some birds prefer hanging feeders while others tend to feed only on the ground or on platform feeders. If you want to feed a variety of birds, you will have to provide a variety of feeding stations. But without question, the first feeding station you should pro-vide is a hanging feeder with sunflower seeds. The small, black oil sunflower seeds seem to be most ef-fective. The seed mixtures available in most stores are not as good at attracting birds in our area. At my feeders, only the ground feeding birds, such as juncos, choose these over the sunflowers. The mix-tures also contain a lot of millet, which tends to remain in the feeders after all else has been taken. If you want more detailed information on feeders, and feeding in general, give me a call.
