“It’s not a race, but hurry up anyway, it’s hot!” Irene Poznifkoff enthusiastically exclaims to the group waiting at the ready for the start of the 18th annual Three Island Resort Walk and Run for Fun benefit.

Kettle Falls resident Harry Santos, who has been vacationing to the Nakusp area for a number of years, was the original driv-

ing force behind conceiving the fundraiser. Santos holds a Physical Education major and has coached teams in the states including the varsity football, basketball, baseball and track and field teams. He is no stranger to organizing successful benefits and was struck by the notion to host a fun run around Summit Lake, “18 years ago to the day.”

Santos was intimately involved in the Walk and Run for Fun for many years, but has re-

cently passed on the responsibilities to part owner of Three Island Resort, Irene Poznikoff.

“It is remarkable” Santos warmly acknowledges, “she is doing a fantastic job.”

Racers register for the event with a donation of $5, which is matched by the Three Island Resort.

“Last year we had 144 participants” Poznikoff explains, “this year my goal is 150.”

The runners, walkers and bikers embarked on a 10-kilome-

ter circuit around Summit Lake and then returned to the resort for raffle draws and prizes.

This year the event exceeded Poznikoff ’s goal with 156 participants. All monies raised will be donated to the Arrow Lakes Hospital.

“It was unbelievable the support we got from Nelson, Nakusp and Castelgar,” Harry Santos remarked, “What I’m most proud of is the weight of this project has gone onto Irene and she has done a great job,” Santos concluded.

Van Der Pol identifies that the next step would be to discuss and formalize the design detail and cost during the Rotary Club’s July assembly.

The finalized proposal would then be taken to the village council for support and approval.

The Nakusp walkway was constructed after the Arrow Lakes damning in 1960 when a cement wall was installed with the intention of preventing possible erosion caused by fluctuating water levels.

Until the 90’s the path along the walkway was nothing more than a dirt trail. Mayor Karen Hamling, who was involved in the paving and development of the walkway as then councilor, was intrigued by the lighting demonstration and is “looking forward to the Rotary Club’s presentation to council.”

the group through the ins and outs of artistic illumination echoing their company’s guiding premise of “painting the night with light.” As the sunlight faded the walkway took on new life as a variety of LED lights accentuated the natural and manmade shapes along the waterfront.

The group enthusiastically discussed a variety of questions and explored technical alternatives like solar lighting and design goals. Concerns were raised by several members who reflected on the possibility of incurring vandalism as a result of the illumination, which in turn raised questions about maintenance.

The demonstration was well received by the group and the buzz of conversation suggested an interest in pursuing this idea further.

Ben De Witt rows back onto the world stage RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News

After taking some time off from the competitive world of rowing to work in northern B.C., Ben De Witt has returned to the rowing community and has been selected to participate on the Men’s Eight team to compete in the World University Rowing Championships in France.

Ben De Witt graduated from Nakusp Secondary School in 2007 and was a member of the soccer squad that won the provincial banner in 2004.

De Witt was actively involved in Nakusp sports, participating on the school basketball and soccer teams as well as the Naksup hockey team, the Falcons.

After graduating, De Witt was invited to play soccer for the Thompson Rivers

University he was planning to attend, but a work related injury prevented him from following that athletic path.

De Witt focused on school and after a year in the engineering program transferred to UBC to continue his studies. While attending UBC, De Witt was approached by Ben Rutledge, the first year rowing coach and gold medal Olympian who was aggressively recruiting rowers for his program.

De Witt had never considered rowing prior to his introduction to the sport but was interested in the opportunity to remain competitively active.

“Once you graduate, sports like hockey and soccer become more intramural based and there isn’t much in the way of competition,” De Witt explains. “With

rowing I can continue to be competitive while maintaining a balance in my life,” he added.

De Witt successfully completed the first year rowing program and decided to pursue the sport further by joining the Canadian rowing team in Victoria. The sport has taken De Witt around the world where he has participated in world championships and PanAmerican games.

Once De Witt earned his degree in engineering he made the move to Tumbler Ridge, B.C. to work for a coal mining company, but he eventually yearned to participate in the sport once again.

De Witt made the decision to relocate to Calgary where we began rowing and competing again. His fitness testing and performance in

local races caught the attention of the University Race Team selection committee and he was invited to join the 2014 International University Sports Federation (FISU) men’s 8 rowing team.

In order to qualify, De Witt had to register for a masters degree in engineering at UBC and will be resuming his studies in August.

De Witt will be traveling with the other university rowing crews to race The River Aa in Gravelines, northern France as part of the World University Rowing Championships.

Now back in the sport, De Witt has his sights set on Olympic competition.

“We are a long way away” De Witt admits, “but with some hard work we could get to the senior level and then start working towards Olympic racing.”

• This Week in History •

July 25, 1924 The largest funeral in the history of Nakusp, was held last Friday for Dr. Ernest Henry Sheridan McLean.

He was 53 years old. He came to Nakusp 8 years ago, entering at once into the community life of the district in a manner to make his name a household word and his memory something to be revered. The funeral was held at the deceased’s residence by the Rev. F.A. Ramsey, of St. Mark’s Church.

July 26, 1934 The funeral of the late Mrs. John Marsland of Arrow Park took place

last Wednesday. Canon Thompson conducted a most impressive service in the church and after at the graveside, in the presence of a large company of mourners.

July 26, 1944 A number of men left here Saturday night to fight fire at Trout Lake. It is the only fire in this district at present.

July 22, 1954 There was a double drowning tragedy at Rosebery on July 19 at 4 pm.

Dr. Laurence A. Kickham, aged 52, and his son Tommy Kickham aged 15 years

of Westlock, Alberta died when their boat was upset in Slocan Lake. His brother-in-law Dr. Bradley was saved.

July 23, 1964 Although the official sod turning for the Duncan Dam construction will not take place until October, clearing is proceeding at the dam site.

Traffic has increased considerably and includes tourists, men seeking employment and engineers. Five miles of hard-topping between Lardeau and Marblehead is to be completed by September, it is reported, with crews scheduled to start work immediately.

July 31, 1974 By a vote of 56-5 the Nakusp IWA workers voted to go back to work and to accept the one year contract with Canadian Cellulose Company. The general wage will be raised by 65 cents or 12 per cent, with the basic wage going from $4.45 to $5.10 per hour.

July 25, 1984 CPR crews were in Nakusp on Monday with a special right-of-way clearing machine as part of their maintenance upgrade of the line between Rosebery and Nakusp following the CTC decision the line must remain.

Energy savings

Offered to lower-income families of income to take advantage of the programs.

Bennett said last November he would seek ways to provide extra help for lower-income customers when he unveiled a new BC Hydro rate plan. That plan will see electricity rates rise by 28% over the next five years, with further increases to be determined at that time.

BC Hydro has other energysaving incentives that are not income-tested, including a rebate program for installation of insulation, draftproofing, heat pumps and water heaters. Those require homeowners to pay for assessment to see if they qualify for rebates.

Bennett said BC Hydro spends $160 million a year on its whole range of energy efficiency programs, including those for commercial and industrial customers.

The utility has set an “aggressive” goal to meet 78% of its demand growth through energy conservation, reducing the need to build new generating capacity, he said.

Tom Fletcher Black Bress

BC Hydro and FortisBC are expanding their low-income energy conservation programs to reduce the impact of rising electricity costs.

One program offers free energy saving kits, including compact fluorescent light bulbs, weatherstripping, thermometers to optimize operation of the fridge and freezer and a high-efficiency shower head.

The other offers free home energy evaluations to see if they home qualifies for an energy-efficient refrigerator or extra insulation.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett said the government changed regulations to increase the lowincome cutoff to qualify for the programs. A family of four earning up to $57,200 can now qualify, up from $44,000, a change Bennett said will almost double the number of households who are eligible. The threshold for a twoperson household is $47,100.

Customers of the two utilities have to apply and provide proof

The Happy Forager cha n tel l e Ca r te r

Common Plantain This week I thought I’d share one of the most common and powerful medicinal plants that should not be ignred. Plantain is a common herb found growing in North America and can be seen growing out of the cracks of sidewalks and roads, in cultivated lawns, in waste ground and even in places where there is little sun.

There is an old saying that plants grow where they are needed most. In the case of plantain, it is clear that this plant is greatly needed in the urban societies we live in today as we suffer from many illnesses in which this plant can offer help. It is considered a panacea

(medicinal for everything) in some cultures; one American Indian name for the plant translates to “life medicine.”

One of plantain’s most common uses is as a poultice for insect bites, stings, cuts, wounds, skin inflammations, malignant ulcers, and to draw out thorns, boils or splinters. Simply crush or chew a few fresh leaves, and apply to the affected area. The fresh plantain “juice” takes the pain away, staunches blood flow and closes the edges of the wound.

It is also said to promote healing without scars.

Plantain infusion (tea) can be used as a soothing wash for sunburn, windburn, rashes, or wounds. Add a small handful of fresh plantain leaves to a

cup or two of boiling water, steep for 20 minutes, then strain.

Plantain is a gentle expectorant and high in silica so it can be helpful for lung problems, asthma, hay fever, coughs, and colds. For medicinal tea add 1 Tbsp. dry or fresh whole plantain (seed, root, and leaves) to 1 cup boiling water, steep 10 minutes, strain and sweeten. Drink throughout the day.

To make herb infused oil or salve, fill a glass jar with fresh, lightly crushed plantain leaves. Cover the leaves with vegetable oil and place in the sun for a couple of weeks. The oil will turn a beautiful dark green color. Strain out the leaves and the oil is ready to use.

For salve, simply add 1-2oz melted beeswax to your infusion. These are wonderful to soften, soothe and heal any manner of skin conditions from wrinkles, eczema, diaper rash, and cradle cap, to athletes foot, psoriasis, acne and sunburns.

Not only a powerful medicinal plant, plantains are also gentle enough to be a food source. Harvest the young, ten-

der leaves for use in a salad, stir-fries, soups, or steam and use as a spinach substitute. The immature flower stalks may be eaten raw or cooked. If you’re really adventurous, you can harvest the seeds. They are said to have a nutty flavor and may be dried and ground as you would flax seed.

I suggest doing some research on the healing and nutritional benefits of plantain and you will no doubt be making it a staple in your medicine cabinet and pantry. I know I will. Let food be thy medicine, fellow foragers!

Kona Ironman RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News

“It’s really a big deal in the triathlon world” Janis Neufeld explains regarding her recent qualification for the prestigious Kona Ironman competition in Hawaii this coming October. Neufled has achieved a rarity in athletic competition by earning a spot in the top 2 per cent of triathletes who set their competitive goal for World Champion-

ships in Kona.

Neufeld managed to secure her spot by placing 3rd in her age group at the Coeur d’Alene Ironman race on June 29.

Of the 2500 participants only 50 earned their ticket to the big show in Hawaii where they will race a 3.8km swim, 180km bike and a 42.2km run to the finish.

Born and raised in Edmonton Alberta, Neufeld was active in competitive swim-

ming from the ages of 6-15 then got out of the pool and onto a bike to race at nationally ranked levels until she was 23. She has a university degree in physical education and has been coaching professionally for many years.

“Sport athleticism and recreation have always been a part of my life,” Janis asserts.

After taking some time off from competitive racing to raise a family, Neufeld de-

Janis Neufeld has earned her golden ticket to Kona Ironman

cided to get back into the game and set her sights on training for the Ironman competitions. After just one year of focused training for triathlon, Janis has clinched a chance to participate in the apogee of triathlon competition.

“I’m thrilled for the opportunity to represent Canada, the Kootenays and Nakusp in Kona,” Janis says. “My goal is to place in the top 10 in my age category and in the top 100 women overall,” she added.

Drawing on her experience with competitive swimming and biking, Janis views the Kona Ironman as a “marathon with a swim and bike warm up.” She has identified running as her weakness and is focusing her training on developing her running skills.

Janis acknowledges that her competitive development stems from coaching other athletes; and says she is “constantly learning from them.”

Janis Neufeld is all smiles during her race.

Kelly Waterfield has been particularly influential and played a huge part in Neufeld’s motivation and development when she moved to Nakusp

with her family.

The trip to Kona comes with a price tag and Neufeld has a support group spearheaded by Tara Clapp, a friend from Kelowna.

Team Janis is raising money by encouraging donations either directly to Neufeld or in the form of a good used bike to Shon’s Bike and Ski shop in Nakusp.

Antulov, and offered a position on the TRU team.

Hawe, along with a fellow TOFC teammate Finlay McPhie, represent the seventh and eighth player selections Antulov has made since taking over coaching duties.

August will find Hawe matriculating to Thompson Rivers to participate in the preseason. He will enroll in a Bachelor of Arts program there.

A footballer since the age of four, Hawe has harbored a love for the game and has two uncles that played “almost professionally in Scotland.”

His passion hit its stride at the age of nine when Hawe was exposed to the glory and the grandeur that is World Cup soccer.

“I remember I didn’t really watch a lot of soccer, but when the 2006 world cup was on, I started watching a lot

If you have had the pleasure of watching the magic footballing skills of local Nakuspian, Nate Hawe, then it will come as no surprise to learn that he has been signed by Thompson Rivers University to play for their men’s league soccer team, the Wolfpack.

Hawe has just completed his graduation year at Nakusp Secondary School where he was a key member of the Cougar soccer squad and was awarded the Jim White soccer MVP trophy.

An active player outside of the school league, Hawe was scouted during his play with Thompson Okanagan F.C. (TOFC) in the U18 High Performance League. After the final game of the season, Hawe was approached

of that and my favorite players like Ronaldinho. I learned a lot from watching him,” he explained.

Hawe began his skills development in the Nakusp minor soccer league where “there were a lot of good times.” Then, when his passion exceeded the opportunities within the village, Hawe began to seek additional chances to play the game outside of Naksup.

“When I was 11” Hawe recalls, “I started driving to Revelstoke to play Rep soccer there for two seasons, then I moved up to Salmon Arm to play four seasons, and then finished with Thompson Okanagan F.C.” Jason Thompson, head coach of TOFC U-18 speaks highly of Hawe and applauds his success stating, “Your job as a coach is trying to get a player to the next level, and Nathan

The skills necessary to undertake traditional projects are being dispensed with for economic reasons by manufacturing industries which have now sprung up within many parts of the world.

Digitally-based factory production techniques have replaced age-old traditional methods which at one time were employed

Senior’s Column

Not long ago, I had the privilege of meeting a recent new resident to Nakusp, a pensioner, world traveller since 1989 and an accomplished handicraft enthusiast by the name of Christine Meyer.

Nakuspinners, a group of local hand spinners, weavers, designers and fabric artists gathered together for the purpose of exploring our mutual interest in keeping alive various handworked craft techniques.

by real people rather than by robots today.

More recently, Christine indicated her interest in sharing her acquired knowledge with seniors as well as those of any age who would like to explore traditional domestic skills while the opportunity still exists.

With this in mind, she is offering what is expected to be an occasional or ongoing series of introductory workshops designed to teach specific craft skills starting with that of wire wrapping and stone setting.

It was named for his family, specifically his grandfather’s brother.

Photo by Greg Nesteroff

Fraser’s Landing was once Kootenay Lake ferry terminal GREG NESTEROFF Black Bress

Sixty-fourth in an semialphabetical series on West Kootenay/Boundary place names Fraser’s Landing and the Fraser Narrows on Kootenay Lake were both named after Sydney Smyth Fraser (1867-1947) who bought 400 acres and settled there in 1906.

Fraser’s Landing was so called by May 1909, as evidenced by a caption in a photo album that belonged to Sydney’s brother, although its first newspaper mention wasn’t until the Nelson Daily News of April 15, 1913. It was on the CPR timetable by May 1914.

Fraser’s Landing was notable as the western terminal of the Kootenay Lake ferry from 1931-47.

The name fell into disuse after the terminal moved slightly east to Balfour, and

today most people would consider Fraser’s Landing to be part of Balfour.

The actual landing is at the end of Heuston Road, which somehow failed to be named Fraser Road.

S.S. Fraser’s grandnephew Alistair Fraser has a blog entry devoted to Fraser’s Landing on his website at blog.kootenay-lake. ca/?p=3004.

FRANKLIN This mining camp about 70 km north of Grand Forks was first mentioned in the Cascade Record of September 16, 1899: “J.P. Grabner returned last Sunday from a trip to the new and promising Franklin camp …”

The earliest claims, the Banner and McKinley, were apparently staked in the summer of 1896 by Frank McFarlane (18651935), after whom the camp was named, but the

1901 BC Minister of Mines report noted “This camp has been little known heretofore, owing to its inaccessible situation …”

The Grand Forks Gazette of April 29, 1905 pinpointed its confusing location: “Franklin Camp … is situated on the west bank of the east fork of the north fork of the Kettle River, and is divided into two sections

by Franklin Creek.”

Almost exactly a year later, the Nelson Daily News noted a townsite was being surveyed at Franklin.

A post office opened there in December 1906, but closed after less than a year.

The postmaster and Franklin Townsite Co. president was Bernard Lequime, who registered Kelowna’s townsite plan in 1892 and heavily promoted that community, where Bernard Avenue is named after him.

Franklin never really was much of a community, but remained an active mining centre while the Hecla Mining Co. and its lessees worked the Union, Maple Leaf, and Homestake properties from 1927 onward. (Mining companies continue to poke at them from time to time.)

Another nearby townsite, called Upper Franklin, or Gloster City, will be dealt with later in this series.

GUESS WHO?

RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News

There is a credo displayed outside the Nakusp Golf Course clubhouse that outlines the pillars of sportsmanship and consideration and speaks to the sprit of the game. However, noticeably absent from this synopsis is the recognition of golf ’s potential to bring people together for an afternoon of social competition.

The social aspect of the game is one of Linda Henke’s favorite perks of taking up the clubs and she resolutely promotes the notion that golfers should not only play a variety of courses, but also with a variety of people.

Henke had the opportunity to exercise this philosophy on July 9 during the annual Nakusp Ladies Open which traditionally hosts between 40 and 50 golfers from Revelstoke, Nelson, and Castlegar.

“The ladies from Revelstoke usually outnumber the players in Nakusp” Henke points out.

The Nakusp Ladies Open was originally a tournament created by Wayne Young who has the honor of being regarded as the first pro in Nakusp.

The tournament was eventually taken over by the Nakusp Ladies Club who found support outside the village from Eileen Upper in Revestoke. Upper has recently retired her position to Heather Duchman who speaks vehemently of Upper’s 25 year commitment of organizing ladies from Reveltoke to visit the Nakusp tournament.

“She started the ball roll-

ing” Duchman recalls, “ and we have continued on her legacy.”

Numbers were down this year with 28 golfers participating in the event.

“We brought 11 down from Revelstoke” Duchman admits, “due to changing dynamics at the club.”

This year’s tournament was made possible by the commitment and efforts of the Nakusp Ladies Club who worked tirelessly organizing and participating in the event.

Sponsors included Overwaitea Foods, Little Summit Driving Range, Elaine Rogers, Russle Hopp with essential support from Larry Ferguson from Nakusp Home Hardware. The clubhouse kitchen staff, Mel Paul, Daniel Lancaster and Larry Richards, catered the event.
