The trading card is ingrained in the culture of north america. It would not be hyperbole to assume that everyone is familiar with the concept. From its baseball epicentre to the outer fringes of subculture trading, the trading card has survived generations of moms trying to gather them up in a trash bag and turf ‘em.

The trading card even endured the tumultuous eighties when sports cards turned into a ridiculous parade of pop culture collectables including Garbage Pail Kids, Nintendo Scratch Games, Alf, Batman and countless others that pushed the trend to its limits.

This nose-dive of crass production darn near drowned the industry until a couple of geniuses breathed life back into the card by aligning card collecting with games such as Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon.

The industry was born anew as the card game model blew the doors of endless creativity wide open, and just as Jack Black correctly observed that the music industry “can’t kill the metal,” so to the cultural jam of trading cards were seemingly preserved.

But will the game-card model suffer the same nosedive as the pop culture explosion of the 80s? Are we witnessing the inevitable fall from grace as the trading card world becomes saturated with endless spinoffs such as Killer Bunnies, Power Rangers, City of Heroes, VS System and InuYasha to name a few?

Well now it’s the Dadaists

turn to have a kick at the cat with another mutation of the basic 2.5 x 3.5 inch standard card culture (and if you are not sure what a Dadaist – is think of them as extreme postmodernists).

The Artist Trading Card (ATC) is anything you want it to be – within three relaxed guidelines: the card must conform to the standard dimensions, the cards are to be freely traded and they must not be mass-produced. Aside from these slack regulations the ATC’s only limitation is the scope of one’s creativity.

Simply, the ATC is a self produced, artistic card, made specifically to be traded and/ or collected during the wonderfully social gatherings of like-minded enthusiasts. The phenomenon has been gathering international momentum since its 1997 inception, with satellite groups occasionally coagulating into larger trade shows and exhibitions.

And guess what? One of the original enthusiasts just happens to be living in Nakusp and is part of a trading group that meets at the end of every month at the Broadway Deli.

Local artist and ACT aficionado, Chuck Stake, was present at the INK.art&text Zurich, Switzerland in 1997 when M. Vänçi Stirnemann hosted his first ATC exhibition and inceptive trading session.

Stirnemann is credited as being the headwaters of the ACT phenomenon, and was inspired during a visit to Calgary in 1988 to participate in the Olympic Arts Festival.

Stirnemann was fascinated at the number of people trad-

ing hockey cards, and, being a hockey fan himself, jumped enthusiastically into the fun of trading and collecting.

When Stirnemann returned to Calgary three years later as part of The New Gallery’s artist-in-residence program, he wanted to produce a catalogue documenting his trading adventures, but was discouraged by the high manufacturing cost. The idea was set aside until 1996 when Stirnemann decided to circumnavigate the costs of production by creating cards by hand. In one year Stirnemann created over 1200 unique, hand-crafted cards, which he showcased as an exhibition at the Zurich bookstore, INK.art&text.

Visitors to the inaugural show were fascinated by the collection; a reaction that inspired Stirnemann to host a trading session on the closing day of the exhibition. Many people attended with cards of their own for trade, and the success of the event inspired Stirnemann to continue the trend.

Stake was on the ground floor for the ACT phenomenon and enthusiastically brought the idea to Calgary.

The first trading session was held on September 27th, 1997 at The New Gallery, and generated enough interest to incen-

tivize monthly sessions.

The phenomenon jumped the provincial boarder in 2004 when Stake organized the first trading session in Nakusp on August 27 at the ALFA Guild Gallery. The group, consisting of fluctuating participants, has been meeting faithfully for the last 10 years and has shown no indication of fizziling out anytime soon.

“The theory,” Stake shares, “is that artists and non-artists can participate on equal footing.”

Each collector brings a three-ringed binder stuffed with a plethora of trading cards that span a dazzling spectrum of variety and creativity. The thrill of the ACT is as assessable as it is addicting, and the international mix of technique transcends the world of commercialization by staying true to the roots of schoolyard bartering.

“I can’t think of anything more radical for art to do in Western society at this time than to be against the exchange of money,” Stake illuminates. “Our society is completely obsessed with money to the exclusion of many other important aspects of living— ATCs can provide a vehicle to circumvent this commodification of everything,” he concluded.

Tories choose Neufelf for SOWK BETSY KLINE Black Bress

Conservative Party members in the new riding of South Okanagan West Kootenay have elected Marshall Neufeld as their candidate for the next federal election.

The ballots were counted Saturday evening, July 26, and Neufeld won with 88 per cent of the votes. With widespread support and endorsements from Jim Gouk and Stockwell Day, the results were not a surprise.

Mr. Neufeld stated, “I am incredibly honoured with the response I got from the membership from the entire riding. We had an incredible turnout especially considering it is the middle of summer.”

Marshall Neufeld currently works as a Real Estate Agent in Penticton where he was born and raised. He also has family connections in the West Kootenays with close relatives in Trout Creek and

Castlegar.

At age 32, Marshall Neufeld is younger than your average politician, but he is not without experience.

He was encouraged to enter politics by Stockwell Day and worked as Day’s Senior Parlimentary Assistant in Ottawa.

He has worked for the Conservative party on behalf of other candidates in previous elections and was elected to represent B.C. on the National Council of the Conservative Party. Neufeld has also served as the president of the local Conservative riding association. His leadership history also includes volunteering, fundraising, Vice Chair of the Penticton Christian School Board, work with the Good Samaritan Society and serving on the Board of the Penticton Church of the Nazarene.

In response to the question of how he will stay in touch with the rural areas of the riding outside of Penticton, Mr. Neufeld replied,

“I see this riding as having two main population centres and whoever the MP is going to be has to see it as almost doing double duty. You are going to have to work incredibly hard to make sure that the populations of both halves of the riding are feeling that they have complete access to their Member of Parliament and that they are being heard. For my part, I am going to make that a priority. If I am successful, I will have both an office in the Okanagan and one in the West Kootenays.”

When asked how electing a Conservative would benefit Castlegar Mr. Neufeld responded, “You will have a Member of Parliament who will be speaking out in favour of expanding our economy and building our resources throughout the country.

Having a better economy helps everyone throughout the country, including Castlegar. I am pro-business and I will be looking forward to

The term “community garden” refers to an important social and productive activity which aims to develop local venues into sources of locally grown, supplemental food supplies. Gardeners can feel considerable satisfaction in growing plants and produce for themselves—or for their natural enjoyment—as well as for others.

The obvious result is fresher, more nutritious and usually less expensive produce. An added plus is the knowledge of where it came from and how it was grown—without potentially toxic chemicals added to the soil or sprayed onto the plants, ensuring better health for the consumer overall.

However, as a social venue community gardens are ideal to draw together those with a common interest. This leads to the promotion of new friendships and valuable exchanges such as self-sustainability tips, seeds and gardening supplies. Working within a group allotment promotes a sense of belonging within your neighbourhood, or your community as a whole.

Plans to design and develop more neighbourhood community gardens within the Nakusp region are under consideration for implementation next year. In the meantime, you are invited to volunteer at existing locations within the Nakusp village core and other regional neighbourhoods.

Editorial Our View

$40 a day for parents if BCTF strike drags on If the teacher strike isn’t settled by September, the B.C. government will use the payroll savings to pay $40 per missed school day to parents of children under 13, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said Thursday.

Negotiations with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation remain stalled after a two-week strike in June that cost the province’s 40,000 public school teachers $12 million a day in salary.

That’s the estimated cost of the support program aimed to go to tutoring or daycare for younger children if they can’t go to school.

De Jong said older children don’t require as much supervision, and have online options to maintain their studies if the labour dispute takes more instructional time away.

The amount was chosen to compensate families of 300,000 children up to age 12 in public school at no net cost to the provincial budget.

Parents would have to register online to be eligible for compensation, to be paid by October.

De Jong said there are five weeks remaining in the summer break for most public schools to reach a settlement with the BCTF, and he hopes the program won’t be needed.

BCTF president Jim Iker termed the move “a blatant and divisive attempt to prolong disruption in B.C. schools,” and renewed his call for a mediator to help bridge the differences between the government and the union.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender and school district negotiators say the BCTF’s contract demands are far out of step with other unions, particularly on increased classroom preparation time and other benefit improvements.

The long-running dispute over class size and special needs support is headed back to court this fall.

De Jong reiterated that there is no plan to recall the B.C. legislature before a fall session scheduled to begin October 6. He said the history of imposed settlements on the BCTF may have contributed to the chronic failure to negotiate agreements with the union.

NDP education critic Rob Fleming called the announcement a “trial balloon” that suggests the dispute may be months away from resolution.

“I think parents are going to look at this and say, ‘you know what, school is not daycare’,” Fleming said.

The Happy Forager chant el l e C art er

Each summer I anticipate the ripening of one of my favourite berries, the thimbleberry. These berries have saved me on many a hike when the kids feel they can’t possibly take another step. Their juicy, sweet pickme-up works like magic, giving them enough energy to continue on. Luckily, they seem to grow everywhere, or at least at just the right spot when you need them the most. Around the ninth hole at the Nakusp Golf Club, for example.

T h i mbl e b e r r i e s have a thimble-like shape and resemble raspberries in appearance, although with far more seeds, and are scarlet red when ripe.

The fleshy fruits are so delicate they may burst in your hand when picked so take care. The shrubs can be any-

where from 2 to 8 feet high, often forming dense thickets. They have white flowers with five petals and the leaves are maple-like with 3 to 5 lobes and a tissue-soft texture (a savior themselves in other times of need). If you plan on foraging for enough to make jam, pie, or wine (yum!), I suggest you pick them when they are unripe and still a light pink. When you get home, sprinkle a little water on them and let them ripen in the sun. They seem to disappear once they mature in the wild; they are beloved by birds and mammals alike, and as soon as the berry ripens it falls to the forest floor.

These scrumptious, scarlet delights contain 15 per cent of your daily recommended Vitamin C intake, as well as Vitamin A,

potassium, iron, and calcium. The berries, dried leaves, and bark have been used by many First Nations groups for lessening the symptoms of intestinal problems, such as nausea and diarrhea, and relieving the symptoms of dysentery. A poultice made from the leaves has been used to treat wounds and burns as well. The leaves and bark can be employed for cosmetic purposes, such as in facial steams for oily skin or added to herbal baths and hair rinses. You can also collect the leaves to brew into thimbleberry tea, but make sure to dry them thorough-

ly as they are mildly toxic when merely wilted.

To make thimbleberry jam, use equal amounts of berries and sugar and bring the mixture to a boil for 2 minutes. Pour the jam into sterilized jars and seal. Do not wash the berries; simply pick them over to remove any debris or insects.

If you feel ambitious enough to try making wine, there are a few thimbleberry wine recipes online for you to try yourself.

Let food (or drink) be thy medicine, fellow valley friends, and happy foraging!

Cycle Tour RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News

“I like coming through here because it is off the beaten path,” Rocky Mountain Cycle Tours owner Peter Weiland shares. “there are no tour buses or Wal Marts.”

On the morning of Tuesday, July 29, seven cyclists made their way from Halcyon Hot Springs into Nakusp for a rest stop on their journey towards New Denver. This was the second day of their six day tour that began in Revelstoke and will end in Creston.

The group is riding with Rocky Mountain Cycle Tour and is accompanied by two guides, a guide in training and a pace van. The riders are from a variety of different homes including England, Texas, LA and Halifax. Each recounted their own experience of wonderment as they rode through natural beauty beside the Arrow Lakes.

Weiland’s company generally runs tours around the Banff area, but decided several years ago that he would offer a tour that unlocked some of the more offbeat treasures of B.C.. His tour company passes through Nakusp two or three times a year and always gets positive reactions from the cyclists.

A circle of friends dances through the sunshine while the music plays.

Kids take over the Music in the Park RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News

It was a glorious day for the Music in the Park event last weekend. Mat Duffus kicked off the festivities with a few magic tricks, after which no audience member was allowed to just sit and watch when the music and dancing began in the afternoon sunshine.

Duffus brought the community together with spirited partici-

pation asking various audience members, young and old, to join him on stage, playing the kazoo, acting as a human music stand, judging a dance-off contest, eating snakes and singing back-up vocals.

Billed as a interactive folk singer with a set list spanning from 2014 all the way back to 1862, Duffus’ motto is, “fun for everyone.”

After taking a six-

year hiatus, he returned to Nakusp to spread joy and laughter with his highly engaging stage antics.

Duffus acknowledged Mayor Karen Hamling’s hard work and dedication to making the Music in the Park a summer mainstay for the last 17 years. He invited her up on stage to sing a duet with him to the tune, “Shake Rattle and Roll.”

Musical instru-

ments were freely distributed to the kids who did more dancing and giggling than you can stick a shake at.

Nancy Bone, representing Stepping Stones Day Care was also on hand to distribute free books to the dancing audience.

“It doesn’t matter if you are a local or not,” Karren assured the crowd, “everyone can walk away with a book tonight.”

Birds of Nakusp Gary Davidson

Orioles are a colourful family of birds occurring in various parts of the Americas.

There are about 30 species in North and South America combined, but only two regularly occurring in B.C..

The Bullock’s Oriole occurs in extreme southern B.C.: Vancouver Island, the Lower Fraser Valley, the Okanagan-Shuswap and the more southerly portions of the Kootenays.

The Baltimore Oriole is primarily an eastern bird, but it does occur in the north eastern portion of B.C., primarily in the Peace River region. The males of both species are bright orange below and black on the back and wings. The Baltimore has a solid black head; the Bullock’s has only a black crown.

Both species show a strong preference for deciduous nesting sites. Since we have relatively little deciduous habitat around Nakusp, Bullock’s Orioles are not often seen here. In the almost 40 years I have lived here, I have seen this species just 11 times until this year. Most of those records have been males about a year old. Such birds are identifiable because adult plumage is not attained until their second spring.

These sub-adult birds may not breed during their first year and it is not uncommon for these “unattached” males to wander. This would explain the occasional appearance of young males in areas which are not particularly well suited to breeding.

However, on July 14

of this year, I saw a fully adult male with two juvenile birds in Brouse. On several occasions I saw the male feed the young.

The young birds were not very old and would certainly have bred nearby.

To the best of my knowledge, breeding has not previously been confirmed in the West Kootenay region north of the Trail/Castlegar area, (although there is some evidence to suggest they may occasionally breed in the Slocan River Valley).

Bullock’s Orioles are highly migratory; most spend their winters in Mexico and south to Guatemala. Their eastern counterpart, the Baltimore Oriole, may travel even further.

Their winter range is defined as southern Mexico to Venezuela and Columbia.

The precise relationship between these two similar species has stymied ornithologists for decades.

Historically, their ranges would have been much more widely separated.

Prior to human settlement in the prairies, many eastern species would have been confined to the eastern hardwood forests. But human habitation resulted in the planting of trees on the prairies and afforded an opportunity for birds to hopscotch across the plains. Along the western edge of the prairies these two species were now coming into contact with each other.

It was soon discovered they were interbreeding and furthermore, their offspring were also capable of breeding. This is usually not the case when two species interbreed. This led sci-

entists to believe that the two orioles were not different species at all. They were reclassified as a single species, called the Northern Oriole, in 1973.

More work followed, and it was learned that although interbreeding was occurring on occasion, it was not that common and the

two were, for the most part, keeping to themselves. DNA analysis also suggested the two were sufficiently different to warrant full species status.

In 1998, the previous decision was reversed and the Baltimore Oriole and the Bullock’s Oriole were again defined as separate species.

Double Bike

Dance of Joy...

You can make it happen

www.spca.bc.ca

Cole Vandermey rides downtown on his custom bike. Welded together by his cousin, Dalton Godtmar, Vandermey bought it a few months ago and claims “it is the best bike I have had in a long time.”

Always sure to attract curious looks, Vandermey has been approached spontaneously with several offers for the bike, and has even drawn crowds of onlookers out of downtown businesses.

Getting on and off is a bit tricky; a secret that Vandermey keeps to himself.

Cole Vandermey Taking the double bike for a spin.

As British Columbians enjoy the dog days of summer, the BC SPCA is reminding everyone of the need to be vigilant when approaching and interacting with our canine companions. The vast majority of dogs are safe, reliable companions, but even a friendly dog may bite if threatened, angry, afraid or hurt. There are clear signals to watch for and steps we can all take to reduce our chances of a nasty dog bite.

“It’s always good to play nice – by far, most children are bitten while playing with their own dog or dogs they know,” says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. “What starts out as fun can lead to over-excitement, and dogs use their mouths and teeth to grab in the same way we use our hands.”

If a dog appears to be getting over stimulated, take a time out and walk away until he or she is calmer. If the dog is prone to over-excitement, play fetch instead, or tug-ofwar games, Chortyk says.

Here are some other tips to keep in mind to play it safe with dogs: Beware of the protector Many dogs have a tendency to protect things they value – their toys, food or beds. They will usually give you clear signals that they are in “protector mode” – hunching over a food bowl or toy, emitting low growls and barring their teeth. The solution: Never put your hand – or worse your face – near a dog in protection mode or try to remove the object.

Give an anxious dog space Fearful or anxious dogs are the most likely to bite without warning – they are unsure of new situations and act out of self-preservation and fear rather than aggression. Their signals can include a lowered head, tail low or between their legs, lip licking and ears folded back.

They may appear sad and scared, but can quickly snap if they feel cornered and unable to escape. The solution: Be calm and confident around anxious dogs. Let them come to you—never try to hug them, crowd or corner them, sneak up on them or pick them up if they are giving you signals that they are frightened. If they are showing clear signals of fear back away slowly—if you turn and run you are

more likely to get bitten.

Leave the lonely alone.

Seeing a lonely dog by himself in a backyard or even tied to a chain can touch our hearts and make us want to reach out to offer our companionship.

But backyard dogs can be unsocialized and fearful. In particular, chained dogs may bite if their “fight or flight” response kicks in and they have no means of escape. Their tail may be wagging – but not all tail wagging is friendly—it can also be a warning sign.

The solution: Don’t reach through a fence to pet a strange dog or approach a dog on a chain— ever! DO report chained or neglected backyard dogs to the BC SPCA animal cruelty hotline, at 1-855-622-7722.

“When approaching dogs, always ask

permission from their guardian before petting, approach from the side rather than leaning over top of a dog’s head—a sign of aggression in dog-dog c om mu n i c at i on — and hold out an open palm for the dog to sniff before petting,” Chortyk notes.

“If a strange dog approaches you in a menacing manner—don’t scream or run away, this will only escalate the situation,” she says.

“The best approach is to stand still with your hands at your side, looking slightly away from the dog.

If the dog attacks, lie on your stomach with your face buried and your hands behind your neck.

The stiller you can be the sooner the dog will stop and move on.”
