A whole lotta shakin’ going on RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News

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

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

“This is great” Elvis

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

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

“The parents really played a big part in making this happen,” Blunt shared.

“They volunteered their time and their energy. They are really good people.”

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

nity.

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

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

site coordinators for the WKETP program from 1990 to 2008.

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

After two years of teaching English Language Arts for WKETP, Taylor shifted subjects to Social Studies, where she began collaborating with Eleanor Rix, Professor of Rural Education in UBC’s Faculty of Education and Dr. Linda Farr Darling.

Darling works with the WKTEP in partnership with Selkirk College and was a member of the Marlane King and Joseph Ranallo Teaching Award selection committee.

Arrow Lakes News

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

In the last four years Taylor’s work has transcended the boarders of SD10 to include a role in the West Kootenay Teacher Education Program (WKTEP), which operates under the umbrella of the University of B.C..

Her efforts in the realm of pre-service teacher education have earned Taylor the accolades of UBC, who have honored her with the Marlane King and Joseph Ranallo Teaching Award for outstanding commitment and dedication to the preparation of teachers for rural settings.

The award was established in 2008 to honor the achievements of Marlane King and Joseph Ranallo who operated as the

Dr. Linda Farr Darling (pictured left) presents SD10 Superintendent, Terry Taylor with the Marlane King and Joseph Ranallo Teaching Award

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

“Terry’s contributions to WKETP have been both stellar and unique,” Darling declares.

Friends and colleagues, Taylor and Darling have worked together on collaborative projects under the auspice of the WKTEP program and have coauthored educational papers on the subject of place-conscious learning with a rural focus.

“That interest in ru-

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

Taylor plans to continue the rural focused education of pre-service teachers by inviting more rural conscience collaboration between SD10 and pre-service students of WKETP.

Sincere Minded Individuals Loving Everyone club The Sincere Minded Individuals Loving Everyone club (SMILE), held its first free community event on July 19 in Fauquier to celebrate the first year for their organic community garden.

Editorial Our View

Wildfires Fires have burned 172,227 hectares since April 1

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

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

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

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

Evacuation orders were issued for several communities that year.

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

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

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

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

Thousands of residents were ordered to evacuate due to wildfires earlier this month near West Kelowna and Hudson’s Hope.

Near by BC Hydro dams which generate much of B.C.’s power were also evacuated but continued to operate.

Seniors’ Column Marilyn Boxwell

Seniors’ column

A recent CBC radio announcement concerning the dangers of leaving one’s dog or cat unattended in a vehicle during the hot weather has no doubt caught the attention of many pet owners.

A stiff penalty for doing so will be levied, listeners were informed, and law enforcement officers have been authorized to take immediate action on-the-spot.

A fine may be levied in order to reinforce the warning which applies to Nakusp and area residents as well as those who reside within other parts of the country.

As a much-loved dog owner myself, I felt inspired to seek further information concerning the dangers associated with hyperthermia (heatstroke), a life-threatening condition which requires immediate treatment.

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

To begin with, remove your pet from the environment where the hyperthermia occurred, whether inside a vehicle or elsewhere.

Find a cool, shady area and

Since 1923

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

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

In summary, Dr. Sones

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

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

For additional information, you can reach Dr. Sones at the clinic at 250265-4442.

A 29 kilometre hike from Mt. Shark to the foot of Mt. Assiniboine led the group to the Naiset Huts where their equipment was dropped off by helicopter. Here, the group made their home in a small log hut for the

Fast fun for a slo-pitch RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News

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

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

Pitch Tournament.

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

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

have ensured the survival of the August long weekend tournament. This will be the tournament’s 28th year.

The fun hits the bags at 7:00 p.m.

Friday night and will continue right into Monday afternoon with the finals scheduled for 4:00 p.m.. Friday night will also host a Home Run Derby sponsored by The Hut Drive-In. This year 20, teams from locations such as Spokane, Abbotsford, Kelowna and even Saskatchewan (who are returning after a 20 year break as part of their family reunion), will be vying for their shot at slo-pitch glory.

Nakusp will be fielding 3 local teams, ITP, Brew Jays and Deja Vu, in an attempt to bring home the tournament’s ultimate prize from The Browns of Kelowna.

NAKUSP’s 510 Broadway St W, Nakusp, BC (250) 265-3662

“They come here because we are one of the last tournaments that pays out money,” explains Ryan Struck, president of the SloPitch Society. “We get a lot of good talent that comes here.

We get the teams that like to play ball. The level of competition is much higher than you would normally find,” he added.

Nakusp Rotary Club will be on hand all weekend for their 4th year in a row to fend off hunger with their line-up of grub while the Slo-Pitch Society will be hosting a beer garden to shellac the inhibitions of would-be hecklers and grease the wheels of sportsmanship.

The Nakusp SloPitch Society have decided to donate $1 to children’s charity for every home run hit during the weekend, to be matched

by Overwaitea Foods.

Robot Workshop Kids with a love of science have the opportunity to take part in Lego Mindstorm Robotics workshops this summer in locations around the West Kootenay’.

Anne Lavergne has been teaching computing science and software development at institutions in the Lower Mainland for more than a decade.

Prior to teaching she was employed as a software developer and IT manager overseas.

Recently arriving to live in the Kootenays, Lavergne is taking her love of science, technology and problem solving to the younger generation with camps in Crawford Bay, Kaslo and

Nakusp.

In the workshops, young people aged 12 to 18 will construct a standard robot using the Lego Mindstorms Robots kit.

Participants will then explore how to program the robot using the Lego Mindstorms programming environment. At the end of the workshop, the students will have gained skills in problem solving and software programming.

The first workshops will take place in Crawford Bay between July 22 and 24 from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Crawford Bay School. Lavergne will then take the workshops to the Selkirk College Learning Centre in Kaslo from

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

August 5:00 to 8:00 between 1:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.. The final opportunity to take in the exciting workshop will be at the Selkirk College Learning Centre in Nakusp between August 11 and 13 from 1:00 p.m. to

4:00 p.m.

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

Sufferfest hosts volunteer drive RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News

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

Neufeld, along with other supporters, were recruiting volunteers in the Seniors Centre to assist with the operation of the Nakusp leg of the threeday Sufferfest event scheduled for September 1. Tasks such as set-up, clean-up, gear transport and marshalling are all essential to the successful operation of the fitness-orientated event and require the support of the community.

Neufeld has broken up the

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

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

Sufferfest requires approximately 75 volunteers from Nakusp to help run the event from start to finish. Neufeld will be running a similar drive with the same numbers goal in New Denver.

This will be the first year that Sufferfest will take place in locations outside of its epicentre in Kaslo, where in the past Neufeld has amassed over 200 volunteers from the community of the event’s in-

ception.

Volunteers are essential as Sufferfest, unlike other similar events, is a completely non-profit organization that is committed to seeing the development of the local economy.

“We have something very special here,” Neufeld asserts.

“We are an organization that serves the community with an event made possible by community members. One of our mandates is to support the local economy and part of that is it being volunteer run.”

If you missed the drive and are interested in helping out there is still lots of time.

Please contact Janis Neufeld either by phone at 250-2658707 or by email at janeuf@ ymail.com.

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

Foodborne illness peaks during the months of May through September because of barbecuing and outdoor eating. E. coli, Salmonella and Campylobacter are examples of some of the many bacteria related to handling raw meats and other perishable food items. That’s why it’s vital to be sure items are refrigerated, well cooked and handled with care.

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

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

Separate: Keep raw foods away from cooked foods to avoid cross-contamination.

Store raw meat at the bottom of the fridge or cooler to prevent juices from dripping onto other foods.

Always use a clean plate when taking cooked meat off the barbeque.

Cook: Properly cooking food will kill harmful bacteria.

Cook all meat to the appropriate internal temperature - see Health Canada’s Safe Internal Cooking Temperatures chart (www.healthycanadians.gc.ca) for more details. Use a digital

Correct answer was: Malted Milk Mixer

food thermometer to measure the inside temperature of cooked meats. Once cooked, keep hot foods at 60 degrees Celsius or hotter until ready to serve.

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

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