Council Meeting HighlightsWaterfront Walkwalk

Lighting ProjectMayumi and Kees

van der Pol presented a slide show to coun-cil regarding the next phase in the Rotary Club’s proposal to install lighting along the Nakusp water-front walkway which would then be turned over to the village. Mrs. van der Pol ex-plained that the light-ing would be subtle and tastefully done and that the electric-ity used would cost only $15 to$20 for an entire year based on the low amperage draw of LED lights. She took questions and thanked the council

for their time. Council voted to create a letter of support in principle, a� er which the Rotary will put the wheels in motion to obtain the funding required.

Group of Nonpro� ts Proposed Purchase of

Kinsmen Building� ree members

(Janis Neufeld, Cas-sia Parent and Ma-rie Wrede) of the steering committee representing two of the organizations involved presented their ideas to council surrounding the pur-chase of the building located at 611 Broad-way Ave. Options for Sexual Health, Su� er-

fest, the Nakusp and Area Youth Society and others are forming a group to combine available funding and purchase it outright from the village.

Speeding on Eighth Ave and Broadway� e matter is on-

going. CAO Linda Tynan mentioned high concerns on speed bumps and will be get-ting full info to council as it becomes available.

Concerns Regarding Renewal of Library

Building LeaseAs the Village moves

to standardize land use agreements, the termi-nology changes from a

lease to a license to oc-cupy which has caused some confusion with the management at the library. � e May-or, CAO and council agreed that the village needs to maintain a standard policy on all agreements and would work with the library group to the best inter-est of all involved.

� e Councillors delivered committee reports on everything from swim classes to ferry wait times and � nished the meeting by discussing confer-ence theme ideas for the AKBLG which is being hosted by the Village of Nakusp in January.

Ethan Garnett, NSS student grade 8

I miss learning and hang-ing out with friends and keeping up with daily news. My favourite subjects are P.E. and math.

Kiernan Troute, NSS student grade 8

There’s not a lot of learn-ing to be done. So I am biking around, playing video games. I miss being able to see friends at school, and yes learning to a point. I play soccer and we’re holding pro-vincials here this year so I re-ally hope I get to do that.

Jessica Roe, NSS student grade 9

Mainly just walking around town, and we have more chances to party. If school was back in, we wouldn’t be partying all the time. I really miss being able to play vol-leyball, which normally starts at the beginning of the year. I was captain of the team at my old school on the island.

assistance with birth control, sexual health education/counseling and many other related services available to the general public. Prefer-ring not to move, and not in a position to take on the monthly rent and operations of the building, OPT vol-unteers went to village council for suggestions.

The result of this was that OPT volunteers were asked to come up with a business plan in order to be able to stay put. This ignited the idea to attract partners for the creation of a col-laborative, multi-use facility in order to stay in the location that they have occupied for more than 16 years.

The Village Council meeting on Monday September 8 saw Cas-

sia Parent, Janis Neufeld and Marie Wrede bring forward a unique sug-gestion. Representing the Nakusp and Area Youth Society and Suf-ferfest, they shared their proposal: a plan to pur-chase the building from the village using grant money. Additional orga-nizations on board in-clude the Arrow Lakes Arts Council, Options for Sexual Health, Free-dom Quest, the North Kootenay Sports and Recreation Council and others. They call themselves the Kinship Connections Steering Committee.

“It’s a really exciting thing for all of us to be collaborating on this. It’s very progressive,” said Janis Neufeld who is the Event Director for Suf-ferfest, the organization who will be the primary owner and have its name on the title.

Able to access mul-tiple grants from differ-ent sectors, the ladies behind this project believe that they can obtain enough fund-ing for the purchase. They are excited about a combined effort to secure space for now and the future. Be-ing non-profit is tough these days. Finding affordable office and meeting space can be a challenge. A broad-minded, co-operative effort such as this could be win-win for all in-volved.

“We’ve gotten re-ally good support so far. It could happen pretty quickly,” added Neufeld. “CBT (Co-lumbia Basin Trust) deadline (for grant money) is November.”

CBT is one of the project’s biggest sup-porters and potentially a source of the grant money that will be re-sponsible for funding the purchase.

Linda Tynan, CAO was not available for comment although the village has had the build-ing for sale in the past.

Halfway reopens to the public

Local volunteers gathered at the recreational, public hot springs 26 kilometres north of Nakusp Thursday tasked with the cleanup of record amounts of garbage at the popular back road natural pools. They spent the day clearing refuse from overuse and abuse this sum-mer.

“It was a very busy and pro-ductive day,” said Kootenay Boundary Forest District Rec-reation Officer Justin Dexter

who had been forced to close access to the natural hot springs citing public health concerns in late August.

Reasons for temporary clo-sure included an abandoned vehicle, outhouse damage and extreme amounts of gar-bage. Thursday saw all of the issues rectified in a joint ef-fort between the recreation department, Compliance and Enforcement and local mem-bers of the community, with-out which Dexter says the task could not have been completed.

“The site is now open again.

I really want to thank the vol-unteers for their help,” Dexter added.

The site, which is free and open year-round to the public is only as good as the care its users take to keep things clean. Dexter says continual access is dependent on the quality of the upkeep. When complaints come in regarding dumping and disrepair, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Re-source Operations is respon-sible for assessment and ulti-mately decides the future of the site and public access to it.

34-year-old tradition

Terry Fox RunSunday marked a 34-year-old tradition

which has seen people across the country taking steps towards Terry Fox’s dream.

“Even if I don’t � nish, we need others to continue,” said Fox, who started his Mara-thon of Hope in April 1980 but by Septem-ber had stopped running as his cancer had spread to his lungs.

“It’s got to keep going without me.”� e strides Fox made, arti� cial leg and all,

have been an inspiration.And his country has carried on his e� orts

to raise funds for cancer research.All across Canada, B.C. and the Koote-

nays, local residents did their part by run-ning, walking and/or making a donation on Sunday.

Terry’s e� orts will also be aided and cele-brated by millions of students and educators on the National School Run Day, September 24.

But with the current labour dispute show-ing no end in sight, that may not take place in B.C..

It’s unfortunate considering the thou-sands of dollars young children raise for the cause by collecting pledges for their run. It will also mean many children (particularly the younger ones) will not have the oppor-tunity to learn about what Terry Fox did, since the schools have for decades done an exceptional job of incorporating him into lesson plans.

� e good news is that some students and teachers still made a di� erence by partici-pating in several of the events held through-out B.C..

And hopefully the lessons about Fox will continue in the schools soon enough.

Fox died in June 1981, but his legacy must live on forever.

Locally, a variety of well-orga-nized recreational, educational and leisuretime opportunities have been made available to seniors and oth-ers, who take seriously the message that adopting the credo of “active living” is rewarded by an increased sense of personal well-being and higher quality of life.

� e fact is, numerous cultural, historical and arts groups as well as individuals bene� t signi� cantly owing to the well designed displays, inspirational venues and the superb instructional o� erings made pos-sible to most of us through such resources as Selkirk College, Arrow Lakes Arts Council, public libraries located throughout the region, pri-vate galleries and of course our area museums and archived collections. Most are accessible to the public

throughout the year. Also within our reach are widely

ranging individual or group activi-ties which highlight the beauty of our natural surroundings as well as enviable public facilities such as Na-kusp Hot Springs, the sports arena and auditorium, community beach-es, walking trails, parks and so much more.

Just under three years ago, a small and friendly group of individuals drawn toward actively promoting various types of traditional � bre arts formed on an informal basis. It didn’t take long to discover a realm of hidden talents amongst those who share a common interest in working with natural � bres primar-ily. At one of our early organiza-tional meetings, we agreed to name ourselves the “Nakuspinners.”

Since then, various � bre-related workshops have taken place, teach-ing participants how to identify and then hand-spin, felt and hand-dye a colourful riot of creative yarns used to knit, crochet and weave items which are one-of-a-kind as person-

al wear or items for the home or as gi� s.

� anks to the generous donors who have donated an abundant sup-ply of sheep’s � eece, alpaca, mohair and � bre blends, as well as the asso-ciated equipment needed to produce our creative wonders, Nakuspinners continues to share and inspire oth-ers .

� ere is something magical about learning the joys of creativity. One feels upli� ed through the creative application of natural or blended � -bres used when producing our cra� -works, whether at home or during a meeting with friends who are ready to learn to skillfully exercise new techniques using inexpensive and easily located materials.

Local cra� er Christine Mayer in-vites all interested persons to contact her for more information concern-ing future get-togethers, times and locations as well as the availability of loaned out yarn-making spindles, spinning wheels, inexpensive local � bres, looms and more. Call 250-265-4359.

In the last week of August, I made a trip to Ida-ho Peak. � e 12 kilometre road from the town of Sandon to the parking lot is much improved since the last time I drove up a few years ago! � ere are a number of bird species that favour high elevations and are not o� en seen down in the valleys. While the views from the summit are spectacular, there is limited alpine habitat on the narrow ridge leading to the lookout point. Along the two kilometre walk to the summit we encountered just twelve species. All of these were forest species and not those normally as-sociated with high alpine meadows. One of the birds we saw was the Clark’s Nutcracker. � is species is in the family Corvidae, the same fam-ily as crows, ravens and jays. Clark’s Nutcrackers have a fairly specialized diet; they feed largely on the seeds of large pine cones. In our region, only the whitebark pine can provide suitable cones, and this tree is largely restricted to high elevations. In other parts of the province, pon-derosa pine provides suitable food for nutcrack-ers at much lower elevations. � e relationship between Clark’s Nutcrackers and whitebark pine is an interesting one; they rely on each oth-er. � e pine produces most of the nutcracker's food, while the nutcracker is the major seed dis-perser for the pine. Each nutcracker is said to store 50,000 seeds each year. Seeds are cached in shallow soil or gravel and later retrieved during times of food shortage or when feeding young. � ose seeds not retrieved may become the next generation of trees. Consequently, whitebark pine o� en grows in clumps originating from a cache of seeds. A few of the other species we saw on the walk do show a preference for higher forests but are not considered to be alpine spe-cies. � ese include the Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Townsend’s Solitaire and American � ree-toed Woodpecker.

Another easily accessible high elevation des-tination in our valley is Mt Scaia, west of Edge-wood. A 20 kilometre logging road (quite rough in places) provides access to large expanses of rolling alpine meadow. I have walked these meadows many times in the past and if you time it right the alpine � owers are quite spec-tacular. � ere are several species which breed in the high meadows or in the widely scattered trees, but normally do not breed in the valleys below. � ese include the Golden Eagle, Prai-rie Falcon, White-crowned and Fox Sparrows, Hermit � rush, American Pipit and Horned Lark.

I will be o� ering my introductory bird course again this year, through Selkirk College. � e � rst class is Monday, September 22. Contact the college for more information and to register.

Retired teacher Dar-ryl Smolik took to the popular Facebook page

for Nakusp, the Nakusp Communicator on Sep-tember 6 writing,

“I’m a grandmother of four public school children. I will be walk-ing the picket line Tues-day, September 9. If you support public educa-tion, why not join me?”

She then made a stack of red apples out of felt for those who attended to wear as a

show of support.A number of Nakusp

students and parents showed up throughout the day to rally with the teachers who have been picketing since the last week of August.

Lucy Ponto, whose mother is a Teacher on Call (formerly substitute teacher) came along be-cause she wants to be back in the classroom

with her friends.Smolik was there,

wearing a sign of her own which read “I sup-port our teachers” ac-companied by a large, red apple.

“I am a retired teach-er, I have four grand-children and I want them to graduate,” she said as to why it was important for her to be there on the picket line.

Progress report on the FWCP in Arrow Lakes

The Fish and Wild-life Compensation Pro-gram (FWCP) in the Columbia region is a partnership between BC Hydro, the Province of B.C., First Nations and public stakeholders whose main purpose is to conserve and enhance fish and wildlife impact-ed by the construction of BC Hydro dams.

The National Re-source Professionals

(NRP) started in 1999 to replace nutrients that would otherwise into the reservoir but are trapped upstream by dams. The nutrient additions are intended to support the food chain, starting with micro-organisms, and lead up to kokanee and piscivorous (fish eating) bull and rainbow trout. However, managing the NRP can be a challenging prospect. That manage-ment falls to the Minis-try of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Opera-tions (FLNRO), which is also responsible for set-ting fishery objectives and managing freshwa-ter fisheries across the province. To support the Arrow Lakes Reser-voir fishery, the FWCP provides funding for both the NRP and the Hill Creek Spawning Channel (HCSC). The FWCP funds approxi-mately 75 per cent of the annual cost of the NRP in Arrow Lakes Reservoir while Colum-bia Power Corporation provides the remaining 25 per cent.

In the years follow-ing the start of the NRP,

angling results for larger rainbow trout, bull trout and kokanee biomass has increased compared to the pre-nutrient ad-dition period. However, angling results in more recent years have been relatively poor.

The challenge is that the Arrow Lakes Reser-voir is a huge and com-plex system, with many variables and large vol-umes of water flowing through it.

“Ensuring optimal uptake of nutrients will continue to be a chal-lenge,” said FLNRO fisheries biologist Mar-ley Bassett, who coor-dinates the NRP in the Arrow Lakes Reservoir.

While the NRP is be-lieved to be improving the overall productivity of the entire reservoir food chain, productivity fluctuations and cycles can be seen in historical data.

Ultimately, decisions regarding the program are made by the FLNRO — they are responsible for fisheries manage-ment objectives across the Province, including the Arrow Lakes Res-

ervoir. The FWCP does not set management objectives and does not manage the fisheries.

There has been con-fusion over where the responsibility lies, said Trevor Oussoren, Pro-gram Manager, Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program – Columbia. “We work very closely with FLNRO and it is one of our program partners alongside BC Hydro, First Nations and public stakehold-ers. In fact we have a long-term agreement with FLNRO to deliver many of the fish and wildlife projects that we fund, including the Nutrient Restoration Program on the Arrow Lakes Reservoir.”

The FWCP strives to conserve and enhance fish and wildlife impact-ed by the construction of BC Hydro dams. The Board, with local de-cision-making, works closely with a variety of partners to ensure that the funds received from BC Hydro are carefully allocated in order to maximize the benefits for fish and wildlife.

Did you see all those bikes on Tuesday morning? What was that all about? Was there another bike rally in town? Looked sick though.

You might be just like me and have never heard of the international motorcycle con-test, The GS Trophy enduro, but in the week leading up to this publication you may have noticed the GS Trophy logo around the village displayed on shirts or printed on hats worn by members of council or teachers. And then there were all of those motorcycles and trailers and buses parked outside of the Nakusp Arena on Monday afternoon; was it all a coincidence, or perhaps you missed something?

Well, it just so happens that Nakusp played host to yet another international motorcycle event; the BMW-sponsored GS Trophy enduro is a contest that involves 64 riders representing 16 differ-ent countries competing in a 1900kilometre ride through western Canada over the course of seven days with nu-merous special test sections. For most, the bridge of com-prehension can be crossed by drawing on the pop culture reference, The Amazing Race, but the GS Trophy organizers undoubtedly want to distance themselves from that associa-tion.

The GS Trophy enduro is not strictly a race in the sense that the teams are jockeying to

cross the finish line at the end of every day, but is rather a comprehensive adventure that tests individual riding skill alongside teamwork through a variety of challenges both on and off the bike. Each team competes for points by com-pleting tasks along the pre-determined route, then closes out the day’s ride with a final challenge before the group eats, then bivouacs for the night. The twist? The riders don’t know what challenges wait for them on the road or at the end of each day. Each stop is filled with surprises gov-erned by the unique character distilled from each location’s culture.

Teams began their odys-sey in Calgary and traveled a muddy route to Golden where they competed in the Golden 8 Test, which required each team member to ride a figure 8 at slow speeds, dropping a ball in a bucket with each pass.

At 5 a.m., Monday morn-ing, the group roused them-selves out of their tents and hit the road, slipping and sliding their way along Don-ald logging road then travel-ing by paved highway to a 60 km logging road skirting the west side of the Arrow Lakes. Somewhere along the route the group had to complete a scavenger hunt through a recent cut block, seeking red plaques marked by GPS points.

The group then made their way to Arrow Park Fer-ry where they crossed and

turned north towards Nakusp. Upon arrival, the entire

crew unloaded their gear into the arena then engaged in a hard-nosed single elimination tournament of Broomball. The event was organized in partnership with Zac Wethal with support from the Nakusp Parks and Recreation staff. Local high school student Lindsay Cann contributed by reffing the Broomball tourna-ment in front of a crowd of onlookers and camera crews.

Previous to the start of the single elimination tourna-ment, the enduro host asked the crowd of GS Trophy rac-ers if any of them had ever seen or heard of Broomball before; only one hand went up. The game quickly jumped the language barrier and was soon mastered by some; teams from Germany, Russia, France and South Africa quickly adapted to the stick and ball dimensions of the game and fought a spirited battle to the semi-finals.

In the end, the Germans won the final match against

France with controlled pass-ing and ability to slow the game down to a pace that al-lowed the Germans to exploit the over-eager French.

After the tournament the ex-hausted teams dragged them-selves into the auditorium to enjoy a dinner prepared by Deb Guest’s catering company then pitched their tents on the arena floor for the night. On Tuesday morning, it was another 5 a.m. start as the group headed off to Christina Lake and their next set of challenges.

The GS Trophy is organized through BMW Motorrad In-ternational and is completing their fourth year of competi-tion. The first competition was held in 2008 across Tu-nisia, Africa, with subsequent competitions held in South Africa and South America.

Each rider in the enduro has been outfitted with a top of the line BMW R1200GS adventure bike equipped with all of the bells and whistles.

Team progress can be monitored via the GS Trophy website.

The Arrow Lakes News reported back in July that the now dark paved waterfront walkway path might become more than just a daytime location. The local chapter of Rotary International invited the team from Artistic Lighting Design to visit Nakusp with a demon-stration for the water-front walkway in order to make it usable after sunset. Award- win-ning lighting experts Jordy Olsoff and Can-dace Weimer travelled to Nakusp from Kelow-na to create an experi-ence for stakeholders, media and interested parties to sample what might be possible here. The idea was to get a sense of what the walkway could look like, what it would cost

and how to maintain it once the lighting had been installed.

United States-based President of Rotary International Gary Huang chose the theme, “Light Up Ro-tary” for 2014-15 and the local Nakusp chap-ter is taking this literally. Rotary members Mayu-mi van der Pol and her husband Kees were able to present their project idea to council on Sep-tember 8 with support from other members in attendance.

Van der Pol’s Pow-erPoint presentation included many slides of mock-ups for light-ing along the stairs and the paved section of the walkway that is not currently lit by street-lights.

Mayumi spoke to those in attendance,

“We want this to be tastefully done, and all

of the lighting is subtle. If the lights are used a total of three hours per day, electricity will cost between $15 and $20 for an entire year.” This is based on the state of the art LED lighting.

Once the sun goes down behind Saddle-back Mountain and darkness falls, almost nobody is able to enjoy the paved section of wa-terfront which stretches from the Marina to the public beach due to complete darkness. Having lighting along this path could see more users enjoying it during the hours of darkness while it remains lit for three hours. This could provide cyclists, run-ners, families and oth-ers wishing to enjoy an evening stroll with the safety to do so year-round.

Rotary’s local chap-

ter is keen to obtain the funds for installa-tion and will gift the entire setup to the Vil-lage. However hydro, upgrades and main-tenance would then become their respon-sibility.

Council questioned van der Pol about the lower-seated lighting and how it would im-pact snow removal, as well as whether the ad-dition of light would invite vandalism or graffiti to existing art-work and structures, citing that if they are in darkness, they are less likely to be defaced. She stated that she would get additional information from the providers and report back.

The council voted in favour of the ongoing project in principle, awaiting further infor-mation and details.

September 26, 1924 Fifteenth annual fair is conceded to be most successful as there was a great increase in the number and quality of entries compared with previous years, despite the dry year.

September 27, 1934 Nakusp has suffered a loss this week through the death of Mrs. Hilda Sophia Alpsen in her fifty-third year. She has been a resident for the past 10 years.

September 28, 1944 A special meeting of the newly-formed Nakusp United Rural School District was held in the schoolhouse Friday with an attendance of 14. The purpose of the meeting was to vote on an additional $1100 to carry on the con-solidated district. Total costs were estimated at $9,677 with credits for government assistance at $4,145 leaving $5,533

to be raised by the dis-trict. The district has already raised $4,875 leaving $658 to be raised plus $320 for a school nurse.

September 23, 1954 The Interior Tug and Transport Co. is run-ning a ferry service be-tween Beaton and Rob-son. The first regular run was Saturday between Arrowhead and Beaton and Tuesday there was a run between Arrow-head and Nakusp. The run to Robson will not be undertaken until the proposed ferry-barge is completed, which is expected to be some time in November. A 32-passenger boat will be shipped in and used to transport passengers and a barge and tug will be used for cars.

September 24, 1964 Jimmy Henke and Barry Johnson of Na-kusp were chosen to attend the Pre-Olympic

trial at Vancouver. Bar-ry placed first in men’s triple jump and third in the men’s broad jump.

October 2, 1974 Collegues of the West-Boundary hospital field paid tribute to J.L. Irwin of New Denver who is retiring as administra-tor of the Slocan Com-munity Hospital.

September 26, 1984 Barricades will be placed at the top of Ste-vie’s Hill in Nakusp and traffic will be diverted through the Valhalla subdivision. At the reg-ular council meeting in Nakusp on Monday, it was decided to proceed with a physical closure of the hill as the road continues to fall away and is causing a danger-ous situation.

September 21, 1994 On Thursday after-noon, Maxwell House was officially opened. The building is the new

home of Nakusp and District Community Services. It was named Maxwell House after the family who lived in the home for many years in Nakusp. Area H Director E. Nygren announced the dis-bursement of BC Hydro grant-in-aid funds for the district programs.

September 22, 2014 An overturned DCT Chambers truck brought the woods to the road last Wednes-day afternoon when its loads of lumber spilled from two flat bed trail-ers and blocked Hwy 6 south of Hills. The truck driver, a 40-year old resident of Mission, was transferred to Slocan Lake Medical Centre by ambulance. He was examined and treated for minor lacerations. A police investigation revealed the cause of the accident to be mechani-cal and no charges were laid.
