Nakusp residents have two options for trash removal: the purchase of designated bags to put out on garbage day or to take their own trash directly to

the dump during opening hours. Last week saw an unwelcome third option — leaving it at the recycling depot on Eighth Avenue and Second Street NW. Bags of trash, a discarded sink, fax machine, a suitcase and food matter littered the area on the

morning of September 15. Conversation erupted on the Facebook page, the Nakusp Communicator. “…All of us in this community use these recycle bins so going there and seeing it like this is absolutely disgusting and pretty soon they will take them

away. It’s not fair for them to clean up such a mess!” wrote Karina Saarenpaa in her post, complete with photos showing some of the garbage present when she was doing her recycling.

Toadlet numbers way down compared to last years TRISHA SHANKS Arrow Lakes News

August 26 and 27 saw local families converge at the annual Toadfest at Summit Lake. The event serves to both create awareness of the western toad in our area and to aid them in their migration, which crosses a busy highway. Toadlets must get from their summer habitat back to the lakeshore for winter, and their numbers rely on the kindness of humans to accomplish this safely.

Angus Glass, the Communications Coordinator with the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program said, “We had a great turnout — between 350-400 people over the two days.”

Despite the great attendance of participants ready to lend a hand, toad numbers

were down this year. Last year, the total number of toadlets moved was more than 13,000 compared to only 6852 for 2014. Biologists cite unseasonably warm temperatures as the reason.

“Basically the extremely hot weather in July and August resulted in the tadpoles developing faster than normal in the warm water, and the main migration occurred a couple of weeks earlier than usual (nearer the beginning of August),” added Glass.

The annual event is put on thanks to cooperation between the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP), with support from B.C. Parks; the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations; Columbia Basin Trust; the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure; and YRB.

Saddleback Church fundraiser for local mom battling cancer TRISHA SHANKS Arrow Lakes News

When Sarah Aspeslet was diagnosed with cancer more than five years ago, she had no idea of the financial burden it was about to take on her.

Over the years, she has made trips from Nakusp to Nelson, Trail, Kelowna and Vancouver for surgeries and treatments; most of what she needed was not available any closer to home. Occasionally, there have been government assistance with gas money and sometimes accommodation but meals and other expenses have been out of pocket and for Sarah, who is on a fixed income, that has meant charging major credit cards or not receiving treatment.

“I’m a single mom of two, so it’s been really rough. I am dealing with disconnection notices for bills. I have had trouble paying my rent,” Aspeslet said in an interview.

While many of the surgeries and other cancer treatments have been covered by

British Columbia’s Medical Services Palan (MSP), plenty of her medical expenses have not been covered. Associated costs are a reality for many chronically and terminally ill patients.

“I’ve had two surgeries a year for five years. I’ve maxed out credit cards,” she added.

“I had a major surgery last year and was incapacitated for three months; I couldn’t sit, lay, stand or find any way to be comfortable except for half-propped up.”

Sarah was born with a rare bone marrow disorder — Fanconi’s anemia, the rarest form of anemia in the world.

Essentially her bone marrow loses its ability to produce blood, and most patients either develop leukemia or bone marrow failure by age 40.

Aspeslet, 36, has two children aged eight and fifteen and has recently received the difficult news that nobody is ever prepared to hear: her illness has now become untreatable. She has been given a life expectancy of a year and a half. Diligently fundraising

for help with medical supplies and expenses, her priorities have shifted. She tried to raise funds by organizing a sale of her wardrobe and accessories, then with an online fundraiser hosted by Go Fund Me. However, the news has changed everything. Now she wants to live her remaining months for her family.

“A vacation, somewhere out of the country. Something they will never forget,” Aspeslet said through tears.

“The bills and rent come first of course but I hope there is potential for a family vacation.

If there is anything left over, we’ll take whatever holiday we can get.”

(Located at the Arrow Lakes Hospital)

The lymphatic tumor she now has between her femur and her bladder is large, aggressive and inoperable. Because of her other health issues, her immune system cannot handle regular chemotherapy and radiation. She recently returned from ten bouts of targeted radiation via cat scan, however there is little hope of containing the tumor’s growth.

The Saddleback Church was the location for a garage sale to assist Sarah with her finances. Members of the delegation and the general public were asked to donate items for sale and all items were sold by donation.

Community YOU ARE INVITED TO: Better waste management plan needed Deepening Community, Story continued from page 1

Many chimed in; the conversation was one of the most active of the week with a total of 20 community members participating in the conversation on the popular forum. Members suggested the culprits might be visitors to the area who don’t have a concern for where their trash ends up. Others suggested maybe it was lower income residents or those without cars to get to the landfill which is located on the Hot Springs Road. The consensus was that garbage is often left in the area and nobody seemed to realize that there is a phone number to call on every bin in the event of concerns.

The green recycling bins are not the responsibility of the village. CAO Linda Tynan responded in a phone interview, “They belong under the jurisdiction of the RDCK and are managed by MMBC (Multi-Material BC). Currently, we have a duplication of recycling services because the village has started providing curbside household recycling.”

Mike Morrison, Resource Recovery Manager with Environmental Services at the Regional District of Central Kootenay spoke with the Arrow Lakes News, ”Waste Management of Canada has been contracted to provide the recycling bin services for the RDCK at this location and are held to performance standards within the agreement. If we are notified of dumping at the depots, they are quite diligent to rectify it. We are all mandated to

provide a clean and safe experience at each of the 27 depots in the Region.” Morrison added, “It’s fairly typical that we are the last to know. Despite the fact that the contact numbers are posted on the bins and the signage, I have not received a recent complaint about this location.”

If residents see any type of contamination or abuse of the recycling depot, they are welcome to contact the RDCK at (250) 365-6372, 1-800-808-1909 or online at www.wm.com.

Paper publication date to change in October Trisha Shanks Arrow Lakes News

What difference does a day make? In the newspaper business, more than you might realize. The Arrow Lakes News has been a Wednesday paper for as long as anyone can remember, but that’s about to change. Thursday has been chosen as the new distribution day.

Reporters, ad staff, editors, columnists and contributors spend the entire week creating the editorial content and ads

that go into every issue. They work with a Sunday deadline for Monday press deadline, Tuesday printing and Wednesday distribution to retailers and subscribers.

This is all newspaper vernacular meaning that the content is required to be finalized three days before the customer can buy their paper.

The difference between a Sunday deadline and Monday can mean timelier editorial, better quotes from professionals who don’t work weekends and full

coverage of weekend events. It also pushes each of the steps back by a day, ultimately changing the newspaper from a Wednesday issue to Thursday.

Changing the issue date to Thursday creates many benefits for the Arrow Lakes News.

Publisher Chuck Bennet said, “Shipping into the market is changing from Revelstoke to Castlegar and Nelson, which will give us distribution into New Denver and Silverton which we haven’t had for a while.”

For those who

work to create the newspaper, having that extra business day means much more.

“Coming off of a weekend and having to have it printed so early is challenging,” added∑ Bennett.

Working toward the best content and sense of the community, staff will be able to better represent local news and culture with increased coverage.

This will be the last Wednesday paper; the next issue will be available on Thursday October 2.

Editorial Our View

B.C. teachers dispute over At long last the labour dispute between B.C.’s teachers and the provincial government is over and students have returned to class.

Thank goodness.

While we applaud both sides for finally reaching an agreement and ending this bitter dispute, we do have to wonder why it is necessary to hold a Professional Development Day the first week back.

That’s right; some school districts in the Kootenay have decided not to postpone the scheduled day off for students. Both School District 8 (Kootenay Lake) and School District 20 (Castlegar/Trail), have proclaimed that students do not have to go to school on Friday.

But not all districts are so rigid.

School District 10 has decided to delay their Pro-D Day (which was scheduled for Monday September 29) in order to allow students to get back into the regular routine of school.

That appears to be a better solution than interrupting the first week of learning. It also shows that changing a Pro-D Day is a valid option.

We have to applaud the district for making the change some of the larger districts refused to alter. We suggest that other districts should look at SD 10 as an example It’s difficult to understand the logic of not postponing it.

While we concede that Pro-D days are important — allowing teachers and management to have school-wide discussions and host learning and development sessions — it’s hard to justify closing the schools for another day, especially during the first week back.

Parents have already been challenged with the task of finding child care or activities for their children during the strike. Now after being told that school is finally returning, they discover it is going to be a shortened week.

From a public relations point of view, keeping students out of school on Friday is a bit of a disaster for both the teachers and the district, and both sides need to work on improving their public image.

SD 10 made the right decision.

Nakusp hosts MotoGiro on Hot Springs Road Ryan Willman Arrow Lakes News

The Rocky Mountain Selection, under the umbrella of the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group, conducted their third classic MotoGiro in Nakusp during the weekend of September 12. The event is modeled after the original Giro Motociclistico d’Italia that

enjoyed international success until a horrendous crash in 1957 put an end to the 3000 kilometre endurance race.

The motorcycle world took an obligatory step back when all road races were banned in the aftermath of the crash, until it was revived in 1999. The revival saw the road race take on a more relaxed structure while maintaining the sprit

MotoGiro involves a day of road riding on a public road loop from Nakusp to Nelson, followed by a second day of closed-course timed races up the Nakusp Hot Springs road.

Riders and bikes are separated into class and category, then raced in groups of four over the course of seven heats.

The races are timed, and results are sorted out at the end

of competition and passion that inspired the original. The Rocky Mountain MotoGiro is an opportunity for vintage motorcycle enthusiasts to share their appreciation for passionate Italian design and is one of many similar races being conducted internationally.

In the spirit of the original event, The Rocky Mountain

of the day according to every rider’s handicap. This allows the organizers to race a range of combinations drawing from the pool of slower and faster bikes and riders.

Over 30 vintage motorcycle enthusiasts participated in the event, which organizer Dave Marshall hopes to establish as a mainstay for the September weekend.

New digs in store for the Arrow Lakes newspaper office Trisha Shanks Arrow Lakes News

On September 30 one door will close and another will open. Arrow Lakes News is on the move.

Anyone walking past the newspaper office may have noticed the “For Rent” sign on the door; the large office suite is being vacated because it’s just too big for the two-person staff occu-

pying it.

The pending move is part of the paper’s revitalization. New publisher Chuck Bennett took over last spring and set about evaluating all aspects of the small town news office, from staffing to location.

A move made a lot of sense based on square footage, with too much of it empty.

“I thought this (the current) building wasn’t the

right fit — too big, with a lot of empty space. Downsizing made sense to me. We needed a smaller office; one of the challenges of an office that’s too big is that it creates an empty feel,” Bennett said in an interview.

The search began for a new location. On the wish list was an accessibility ramp, ample parking and size to better accommodate the staff of one

full time and one part time employee. Bennett decided on the former Columbia Cable building at 89 First Avenue NE. The revitalization has also included reopening the office to walk-in traffic between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Monday to Friday and changes to staff as well.

Locals can again drop in for subscription renewals, classified or business ad

placements, and newspaper sales. People who want to come by in person with a story lead or to buy paper bundles are invited to do so. They will be greeted by the cheery smile of Chantelle Carter in the Sales Associate/Office Manager position.

Arrow Lakes News has had its challenges as part of the community, however things are about to change.

Bennett looks forward to reviving and renewing community ties.

“A smaller office allows us to be vibrant. We don’t need to be on Main Street to do that,” said Bennett.

“We want to be dynamic and part of the community and I want to revive that.

We are a local business and rely on local customers. It is a positive move for the paper.”

Vibrant speaker to visit Nakusp

P.A.L.S. PET OF THE WEEK

LOOKING FOR FOREVER HOMES

Born works to deepen communities and end poverty Trisha Shanks Arrow Lakes News

Paul Born hopes to build a better world. His website states, “Together, we will create vibrant communities by building community, leading collaboratively and reducing poverty.” It’s a tall order but one he has dedicated his life to.

For anyone who has ever tried to attract volunteers or organize anything, the meaning of the term STP will be amusing; it stands for the “Same Ten People.”

The reference is to the same group of people being the ones who show up to participate, volunteer, steer and be active in community projects. The elusive “general public” is the target, yet just a handful of the same folks seem to be the only ones moving to action.

Born is a global leader in helping organizations and communities to develop innovative ideas that motivate people to collaborative action. He is renowned facilitator; an entertaining, humorous speaker; a philosopher; a storyteller; and a best-selling author. One audience member stated, “You can’t even be in the same room as Paul without starting to feel better about the world.”

As a result of a scheduling coincidence, Born will be in the area at the end of September. The Nakusp and Area Development Board is inviting all community members to a public meeting facilitated

by Born on September 30 at the Arena Auditorium.

Thanks to the generous support of Columbia Basin

Trust for our Community engagement efforts, admission to the event is free.

The meeting will start with dessert and refreshments at 6:30 p.m.. Find out more at www.tamarackcommunity. ca.

This is an opportunity for Nakusp and area to build on our collaborative efforts and refresh our collective wisdom, to have our voices heard and to have an opportunity to make a difference. Previous community meetings and luncheons have focused on economic development. This one will be broad-based and include all sectors. Everyone is welcome to attend and participate in whatever way is comfortable.

As an added bonus, the first 100 people to arrive will receive a free copy of

Nakusp’s Ben de Wit wins bronze in France TRISHA SHANKS Arrow Lakes News

The Arrow Lakes News has been following local rowing talent Ben de Wit through his achievements on the water since 2011, when he was part of the team that took the silver medal at the Pan American Games in Mexico. This month, de Wit is again making waves internationally as part of the team that

snagged the bronze at the World University Rowing Championships in Gravelines, France.

“This was my first trip to France. The area we were in is all along the ocean and it reminded me of coastal B.C.. There’s the ferry service to England kind of like the ferries between Vancouver and Victoria,” de Wit said in an interview with the Arrow Lakes

spotted a “Learn to Row” poster on campus at UBC. As luck would have it, the team was aggressively recruiting for novice rowers and de Wit fit the description they were after: tall and athletic. Having played hockey, soccer and basketball during his teen years at Nakusp Secondary School, he had also been looking to join a few clubs.

This year, he is back on the rowing team after a couple of years off for work. Several months ago, he was selected to join the 2014 International University Sports Federation Men’s 8 rowing team. Enrolling at school was a prerequisite to being on the team, so he is again at UBC now pursuing his master’s in Mining Engineering.

Bronze medal winners comprising this year’s contingent of

nine (eight rowers and one Coxswain) included four students from the University of British Columbia, two from Ontario schools and one from Harvard University who is actually a Canadian.

When asked what de Wit enjoyed most about the trip he said, “Spending time with my teammates. I really liked meeting other athletes and coaches and seeing how they train. Rowing is a pretty small community and has a lot of great people.”

Canada was one of 33 countries participating in the FISU World Rowing Championships held at the Parc des Rives de l’Aa from September 12-14.

Competition is open to all student athletes who are presently studying or who have graduated within the past year. Athletes must be between 17 and 28 years of age.

Farmer’s Market

Local growers and artisans peddle their wares at the Farmer’s Market on Saturday September 20, 2014. Fans of local, organic, or hundred mile diet are able to buy seasonal produce and honey from farmers in the area as well as Made in Canada artwork, handicrafts, baking, chocolates and more. The market runs all season from the May Long Weekend until Thanksgiving Weekend every year. This year’s last market will be October 11, 2014.

“This year we were very busy with lots of local merchants participating,” said Colette Beaulieu, market manager who says she does so with help from other merchants. She also added that the turnout for vendors and attendance this year was comparable to past years.

What to watch for - On Saturday October 4th, as part of the grassroots movement for the Mushroom Festival, there will be local wild mushrooms and mushrooms dishes to sample available at the market.

Literacy impacts lives Thousands of British Columbians do not possess the literacy skills needed to succeed, impacting everything from healthcare to employment.

In British Columbia, 40 per cent of adults have difficulty reading a newspaper, filling out a work application form, reading a bus schedule or understanding a lease. Close to 50 per cent of adults do not have the skills necessary to calculate a tip, create a budget or understand credit card interest rates.

The campaign will culminate with community leaders and volunteers hitting the streets across the Columbia Basin and Boundary to distribute special editions of local papers and collect donations in support of community-based literacy programs.

The Reach a Reader campaign coincides with Decoda Literacy Solutions’ inaugural Literacy is Life Campaign — a provincewide fundraising and awareness campaign designed to create a new, modern understanding of literacy and raise funds to ensure community-based literacy programs across British Columbia can support the people who depend upon them.

CBAL’s executive director, Ali Wassing, says, “We have been gratified to see the high level of support and enthusiasm for CBAL’s annual partnership with Black Press on the Reach a Reader campaign.

This fall, in tandem with the launch of Decoda’s Literacy is Life provincial campaign and the hugely successful Raise-a-Reader campaign in the Lower Mainland, we look forward to a banner year for literacy.”

Birds of Nakusp Climate expert It’s time to dig out the feeders and give them a good cleaning

If 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, 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 in 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 goldfinches — have not yet arrived in the area. But if you want to improve your chances of attracting these species, 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 throughout the day; they will not just sit at a feeder and gorge themselves. It seems more likely that most birds use feeders to supplement their normal diet, rather than replace it. There is little research to suggest winter bird feeding is in any way harm-

ful to a birds health, except in those cases where people provide inappropriate food.

Bread, for example, contains bulk but very little nutrional 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 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 unlikely 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 provide is a hanging feeder with sunflower seeds. The small, black oily seeds seem to be most effective. 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 sunflower seeds.

The mixtures 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.

Athlete of the Week

in Nakusp

Nakusp residents will have an opportunity to hear firsthand from climate change expert Mel Reasoner. During the free interactive evening hosted

by Selkirk College, Reasoner will share the latest on climate change, its local impacts and how communities like Nakusp can become more climate resilient.

The presentations are part of Columbia Basin Trust’s Communities Adapting to Climate Change Initiative, helping to translate complex climate change science into meaningful and actionable information for Basin communities. The Nakusp

event takes place at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, October 8, at the Learning Centre on 311 Broadway Street.

“Global temperature changes mean we can expect more extreme weather events, receding glaciers and changes to snowpacks, river flows, growing seasons and more,” said Reasoner. “This has important implications for communities in the Columbia Basin.”

Indeed, many communities worldwide are now planning for a future climate that will be different than what we’ve known and experienced in the past.

While Reasoner

will focus on climate science and impacts, there will also be opportunity to discuss leading-edge ideas and practices on how communities can adapt.

The evening is designed as engaging learning opportunities for people of all types, including interested individuals, local business owners, community groups, local government and elected officials.

For more information about the event or the Communities Adapting to Climate Change Initiative, contact cbtadaptation@gmail.com or 1-800-505-8998.

Local rescue flooded with kittens PALS currently caring for a friendly duo’s double litter Trisha Shanks Arrow Lakes News

Ten long haired, grey and grey tabby kittens play clumsily with one another and climb on top of their two mothers in a Protecting Animal Life Society (PALS) foster home. Fluffy, cuddly kittens grow up to become cats with varied personalities so this is something to consider before committing to a kitten who seems just too cute to resist. Little kittens grow up to be large cats and have a lifespan of 15 or more years.

The two mothers have already been spayed. They are well socialized with one another having been raised together, and their combined 10 kittens nurse from either of them due to the bond that they all share.

PALS is seeking loving, com-

mitted owners during the next few weeks. They rely solely on the availability of local foster homes to provide care and socialization to the pets that they take in. PALS is operated only by volunteers and they have no shelter building.

“We want to see an end to the cruel cycle of unwanted cats,” stated Linda Kendall, treasurer and spokesperson for the local animal rescue association. “For some reason, it is still considered an option to treat cats as a throwaway pet, but this should not be the case.”

One female cat can produce between 100-400 viable offspring inside of seven years.

Cats are far more likely to be in need than any other type of pet, comprising 95 per cent of the animals served by the foundation.

Art opening Arrow Lakes Arts Council Landscape artists have had the honour of showing at Studio Connexion Gallery this year and in the past.

To close the regular exhibition season we have chosen Nadine Stefan, a long time established artist, to show her new series, “Wildflower.”

The New Denver/ Calgary artist has created new acrylic paintings on wood panels. The series depicts low ground scapes focusing on beautiful grasses, weeds and flowers.

Nadine’s inspiration comes from nature and also from her travels this last summer. The paintings will be of interest to nature and art lov-

ers in general. Her show will run from September 23 to October 11.

Please note that the reception for the show will be on Friday October 3 from 7 to 9 p.m.. You are invited to meet and greet Nadine and to celebrate her new series at Studio Connexion Gallery, 203 Fifth Avenue NW (only two and a half blocks from Broadway Street).

Refreshments will be served.

The regular gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. from Tuesday to Saturday, or by appointment to accommodate your busy schedule.

See you at the gallery!

On Saturday, October 4, the Arrow Lakes Arts Council is opening its 2014-15 Concert Series with the Chorealis Vocal Ensemble. As a part of their fall tour, “Pathways of Love,” Chorealis will have the pleasure of singing for the Arrow Lakes region in Nakusp for the first time.

The ensemble’s 11 members all live in the Okanagan from Salmon Arm through to Kelowna and have been singing together since 2008.

The Chorealis ensemble is a unique vocal group, as they do not have a conductor. Instead, all members contribute to create their fine, harmonious and unaccompanied sound. The ensemble performs a broad range of music, both sacred and secular. They especially love singing early music,
