Nakusp RCMP arrested two men for methamphetamine possession on Thursday, Sept.

3.

Thirty-one-year-old Alan Orr and 22-year-old Matthew Bergman are each facing one count of possession of crystal methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking. Both men are Nakusp residents.

“A little under an ounce of methamphetamine was seized,” according to Cpl. Jason Burndred.

Orr’s first court appearance will be at the end of October.

RCMP also recovered some property during the week that they believe was stolen.

If anyone recently had a compound bow pilfered from them, they can attempt to claim it at the Nakusp Detachment. They will need to provide a description and proof of ownership.

The Nakusp RCMP also have a number of bicycles waiting to be claimed.

L-R: Artists Mirja Vahala and Brigitte Desbois with local painters Roberta Whitfield and Sharon Maxfield.

What the eye sees christy isbell Arrow Lakes News

Studio Connexion was filled last Friday evening with the amber palettes and verdant landscape paintings of Mirja Vahala and Brigitte Desbois. Familiar scenery and local landmarks were freshly interpreted in acrylic and oil by these two talented women.

Both Artists are members of the Federation of Canadian Artists. They are prolific in the “Plein Air” style which means In the Open Air, which describes the act of painting outdoors — also called “Peinture sur le Motif ” or “what the eye actually sees.”

The barns and fields of Brouse Loop found new character with deeper dream like acrylic colours while staying true to local geography in Mirja Vahalas panoramic piece titled “Backyard.”

The artist tries to paint beyond the representation of a landscape and find the story in its abstraction. She feels this body of work is a culmnination of the last few years painting in Nakusp and above New Denver.

Vahala says, “I try to create the feeling of a place with the stories behind. I sense a spirit everywhere I go...it could be a building or a landscape and I do try to connect into the spirit side of

something and if I can do that as an artist, I’m happy.”

Vahala recently returned from Italy where she taught a Plein Air workshop to five Canadian artists. They painted their way through Cinque Terre whose five haphazardly constructed fishing villages date back to the early medieval period with dramatic cliffside seascapes and shorelines.

She also enjoys teaching at her new artist retreat in Balfour and this weekend expects over 17 artists to come and share her space.

The familiar barn at the top of Brouse Loop, owned by Len Gustafson was painted in classic oils by Brigitte Desbois. The local landmark was familiar in structure but depicted in muted nudes and ochre tans that were complemented by the autumn evening light in Studio Connexion.

Desbois is from Montreal but grew up in London and Paris and enjoyed touring the galleries and museums of Europe. Desbois remembers one of her first painting classes she undertook with a sports injury that one would assume would be tennis but in fact was baseball. She felt she still learned technique even though she could only paint with her left hand.

Desbois was invited to do a solo show at Studio Connexion in

2012 with great success and community support... with enough interest she will lead a Plein Air workshop in the spring in Nakusp. She feels she could paint here forever with the spectacular viewpoints and changing weather. She says of painting along the Nakusp waterfront, “Having the beaches of Nakusp so close, I don’t see why you would explore, although I’ve heard of amazing waterfalls and I’m sure I will find many places on my return trips.

With such a pool of ideas and beautiful scenery so close, why waste time searching for the perfect spot?”

Anne Beliveau, curator and owner of Studio Connexion welcomed patrons with an abundance of prosciutto, herb boursin, pate, baguette, grapes, olives, oysters and handcrafted artisan chocolate from Jennifer Chocolate.

The show runs until September 19. The gallery is open Tuesday-Saturday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. or by appointment by calling 250265-3586 or 250-265-8888.

Vahala will return to Nakusp Sept. 18-20 to teach a painting class, “Paint in the great Outdoors.” For more information and to pre-register call Selkirk College at 250-265-4077 or email nakuspspce@selkirk.ca.

Kootenay Sufferfest rocked the waterfront CHRISTY ISBELL Arrow Lakes News

Sufferfest 2015 enjoyed another successful year with enthusiastic athletes participating from Revelstoke, Calgary, Canmore, Rossland, New Denver, Burton and Nakusp. The three-day event started on Saturday Sept. 5 in Kaslo; competitions continued in New Denver and Nakusp had the privilege of hosting the Kootenay Sufferfest final events at the Gazebo across from Nakusp Public Beach.

Cyclists, runners, volunteers and spectators gathered to enjoy a fast paced showcase of local athletes who kept up with the seemingly unending energy of the local children participating.

The Corporate Challenge was a duathlon of running and biking that used the old railway trail and Nakusp waterfront for a challenging public course.

The “Homegrown Honeys” placed first, “The Animals” from the S.P.C.A. placed second and the ladies from the Nakusp Public library, “The Folios” brought home third place.

The “Furry Forty” was a 40k loop that involved local and travelling characters in costumes and an abundance of determination. Female winners were Erica Pataki in first place, homegrown Karen Anderson in second place and Roan English in third place.

Mens division in the “Furry Forty” heralded Karl Sefara, Eric Ross and Don Zinzelmeir with gold, silver and bronze homemade medals.

The “Tour De’ Nakusp” was taken by Mike

Thomas who was seen enjoying a complimentary strawberry twizzler and H2o shortly after his triumphant win.

The Female Duathlon saw Robin Thomas with first place, Tammy Macpherson taking second and Rebecca Long in third place after taking multiple wins and participating in both the Kaslo and New Denver events. Mens division had Lorne Mclennan and Kip Drobish placing first and second respectively.

In the Junior Girls Duathlon Kolibri Drobish placed first, Zoe Larson was second with Jaklyn Elliott in third place. Junior Boys Duathlon saw Elias Lampimaki in first place, Ezra Allen in second and Ryder Mclellan in third.

The hero of the day was unaniomously greeted with thunderous applause and heartfelt cheers on the homestretch when Taite Hoyem from Calgary crossed the finish line with arms raised to the crowds. Taite was born legally blind and at 15 yrs. old, placed first in his age category for the Junior Decathlon. He navigated the course with sweat, determination and a huge smile taking his medal with a pride shared by every competitor that participated in the event.

Organizers all agreed Nakusp was a scenic and hospitable site for the event. They were overwhelmed by the participation and community support this year and thanked the many volunteers, athletes, and spectators who made this year an awesome memory and they look forward to an even bigger turnout next year.

Community Futures Central Kootenay would like to thank and extend best wishes to long time Self Employment Counsellor Kay Ryan who recently retired from the organization after 26 years of helping Kootenay entrepreneurs start businesses.

Ryan worked as the Self Employment Program Coordinator when the program was first launched at the Community Futures Central Kootenay office in Nelson in 1989. She mentored the entrepreneurs behind successful local businesses like Meritxell Books, Jennifer Chocolates and hundreds of others.

In 2010, Ryan moved to New Denver where she took on the part-time role as Self Employment Program Counsellor for Community Futures in the Arrow and Slocan Lake satellite office. She remained in this role until her retirement earlier this summer.

“Kay has had a tremendous impact on the lives of SE program clients who she guided through the planning and launch phases of their businesses,” said Self Employment Program Manager Wade Sather. “We’re grateful for her contribution to Community Futures and the local business community.”

Ryan has passed the reigns for the Arrow and Slocan Lakes Self Employment Program to Marilyn Rivers, who assisted Ryan in offering the program for the past three years. Though retired, Ryan will remain involved with Community Futures Arrow and Slocan Lakes by continuing to offer free business counselling to individuals not eligible for the Self Employment program who require guidance on starting up a new business.

“It’s been a pleasure to work with entrepreneurs in the community and see their businesses grow and thrive,” Ryan said. “I’m happy to be retiring and staying in the community where I can continue to visit past clients who are now successfully running their businesses and contributing to the rural economy.”

Community Futures Central Kootenay staff can be contacted through Arrow and Slocan Lakes Community Service office which is located within the Community Services building at 205 6th Ave NW in Nakusp, across from the Service BC building. To make an appointment for free business counselling or to learn more about Community Futures services, call 250-265-3674 ext. 201.

• This Week in History • September 11, 1925 Labor Day, 1925, will long be remembered by Nakusp residents as a day full of excitement and stir. The day’s events started at 9:30 with a Boys’ Fire Drill, aged 12-15 years old. It was comical to see the younger generation take such interest in this class of sport and it did the older folk a lot of good to see the youngsters perform. The winning team was coached by Jack Olsen and the second place team by Art Dunn. The other two coaches were Dan Berard and H. Aalten.

In the races, which followed, Vera Davies and Frank Russell won the ages 4-8 races; Frank Atherton won the men’s 100-yard sprint; Howard Hiltz won the boys’ bicycle race; Mrs. Jones won the board sawing and Miss Noales won the ladies’ bicycle race. The team of Jack Olsen and Dan Berard won the fire drill; Olsen and C. Hiltz won the hose laying and connecting event, and the Old Fireman’s Drill was won by T. Morgan and Jim Morrison.

The Nakusp Brass Band deserves much credit for adding so much to the flavor of the day. The Masquerade Ball in the evening had such splendid costumes that it will long be remembered.

Mrs. F. Rushton won the Ladies Original Costume contest, while J. McKellar won the men’s prize for his Weary Willy costume.

September 12, 1935 Many New Denverites experienced thrills last week when Ginger Coote and Cliff Peane visited town with a monoplane and a moth before taking passengers for rides. This is the first time a plane has stayed in New Denver for longer than a few

hours and the first time a great many citizens have had a chance to ride in one. Edna and Effie Shannon, Ed and Stanley Aylwin flew to Nakusp on Saturday morning and Violet Gunn, Bernice Burkitt and Jack Sanderson were Nakusp’s flying visitors on Sunday when Mr. Coote left for his visit to the Arrow Lakes. Mr. Coote is from the Bridge River area where he has a freighting business and is flying around on a month’s vacation and taking pictures of each town he visits.

September 13, 1945 Twenty men competed in the Slocan Golf Tournament on the weekend with New Denver’s veteran golfer Johnnie Teir again winning the Eddie Graham Cup. The ladies’ Neil Tattrie Cup was won by Mrs. Roberts.

Peter J. Durkin Sr., an old timer of Nakusp, died in Trail hospital Saturday at the age of 77.

He had lived in Nakusp for 33 years, having only recently moved to Trail.

September 15, 1955 Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Perkinson have returned from Ferguson, B.C. where, with Mrs. Perkinson’s sister, they made a three-day trip into the alpine basin above Trout Lake to erect a cairn for the ashes and a bronze plaque to the memory of their grandmother Mrs. Alice Jowett, pioneer hotel woman and prospector of Trout Lake. Mrs. Jowett came to Trout Lake in 1897 and died early this year at the age of 101. The alpine basin was her favorite spot in the hills and she owned several mineral claims there.

September 9, 1965 Barnes Creek Contractors walked off with the woodsman Trophy for team competition at the Sports Day held at Edgewood on Labor Day. The six-man team consisted of Henry Fehdrau, John Brown, Alan Collins, Hugo Klein, Harold Hug and Mike Bilinski.

September 17, 1975 The Legion Hall was filled to capacity September 11 as residents assembled to pay tribute to Neil Shaw. Shaw died suddenly on September 9 after a short illness at the age of 53. Mr. Shaw was a wellrespected businessman and had been a resident of Nakusp since 1948.

Charlie Granewall won the men’s trophy at the eighth Annual Nakusp Open Golf Tournament on the weekend. Dick Roberts won the long drive.

Judy Gran won the ladies’ trophy with Wendy Granewall winning the long drive. Huw George was the junior winner and Joe Desrochers won the junior long drive competition.

September 11, 1985 Westar Timber has made a proposal to the Canadian minister of state for forests, which could provide 200 jobs in Nakusp. Officials of Westar told Nakusp Village Council that a proposal was made in late August to establish a modes resource management area in Tree Farm License area No. 23, with an integrated silviculture project centered in Nakusp.

Jim Cross, General Manager of Westar, told council if the government comes up with the funding it would create 200 jobs per year for five years.

Warm hearts, warm quilts

Two warm-hearted women make quilts for those in need Last November, Ann Barrington and Marilyn McKinnon of Nakusp contacted the Arrow Lakes Health Care Auxiliary Thrift Store and asked them to save jeans that would normally have been sent to the dump. Marilyn posted on the Nakusp Communicator Facebook page requesting donations of flannel.

These ladies decided to make quilts for the needy.

They took turns picking up a bag of jeans every week. They both worked on their own at home and nine months later they have 33 quilts using jeans from the thrift store and donated flannel.

Three quilts have been donated to a local family that lost everything in a fire. The remaining 30 are being delivered shortly.

Ann has a contact in Prince George who knows lots of people who are in need of a quilt to help keep warm in the cold winter months. They have made a variety of quilts suitable for men, women and children.

Ann and Marilyn wish to thank the ladies from the thrift store and local Nakuspians for donating the materials they needed to make the quilts.

Food for thought at the old fire hall

A town icon brought to new life in aid of local producers angus schroff Arrow Lakes News

In the Kootenays, not much goes to waste. Garbage is recycled, automobiles are held on to long after their cup holders become undersized for today’s gigantic sodas. The train of thought goes that if something’s broken, fix it, and if something’s not being used for what it was intended, use it for something else.

Take the old Nakusp Fire hall, for example. In 2011, the building was put up for sale, having been made obsolete by the newly-constructed Emergency Services building. Though it was a piece of community history, its price — in the $300,000 area — made it seem unlikely that anyone would swoop in and give it a new lease on life.

Enter the Old Fire hall Collective Society. The group began in 2009, looking for ways to boost the local agricultural economy. With the fire hall, it seemed they’d found their avenue — it could provide an indoor, year-round venue for the sale of local produce. Undaunted by the task, the group set about proposing their plan to the village council.

Matters progressed, and in 2014, they were granted a lease. Soon after, a contract was signed with the British Columbia Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation, who provided four workers and $130,000 through their Job Creation Partnership program. Fast-forward to present day, and the work is done; the fire hall itself has been completely renovated, inside and out.

On Sept. 4, residents gathered to celebrate the fire hall’s grand re-opening. It was a preview of what’s to come for the building, featuring local people and their wares. Ana Hohertz presided over a table of baked goods, Darlene Driediger had spices, and Faye Macpherson brought the triple-threat of knitting, canned goods, and pies.

The indoor location wasn’t terribly necessary on such a bright, sunny day, but you can bet it will be useful in case of any of those sudden Kootenay weather changes. And with winter coming up, well, nobody likes snow in their pie.

Rosemary Hughes, one of the chief organizers and driving forces behind the Old Fire hall Collective, was pleased with the turnout. Hughes isn’t stopping yet, though; she and the rest of the society have high hopes for the fire hall’s future. Their mission for a year-round farmer’s market is,“To develop a system of farming that is economically viable, socially acceptable and environmentally sound. To advance local food production, encourage small scale farmers and create employment while sharing knowledge and resources; and using only healthy, sustainable agricultural practices,” says Hughes.

Further plans for the building include a community kitchen, which CBT funded in August, and an agricultural tool “library” that farmers can borrow from and contribute to.

When asked for a picture in front of the refurbished hall, Hughes gracefully declined.

“That wouldn’t be fair, because it isn’t just about me. It’s everybody that participated. Without their contributions, this never would’ve happened.”

“Flash in the pan” Meaning: Something disappointingly short-lived.

Origin: There was an old type of gun that had a ‘pan’ on which a trail of powder led from the charge to the flint. Sometimes the powder ignited, but the gun didn’t go off. Hence it was merely a “flash in the pan.”

Celebrated author comes to Nakusp Well-known author Caroline Woodward has released a new book: Light Years: Memoir of a Modern Lighthouse Keeper (Harbour Publishing, $29.95). She will be on tour in the Kootenays, and will be doing events in the following locations: Nakusp: Presentation and book signing at the Nakusp Library on Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 7 p.m.

Nelson: Presentaton and book signing at the Nelson Library on Thursday, Sept. 24 at 7 p.m.

New Denver: Presentation and Book Signing at Bosun Hall in New Denver on Friday, Sept. 24 at 7 p.m.

In 2007, Caroline Woodward was itching for a change. With an established career in book-selling and promotion, four books of her own and having raised a son with her husband, Jeff, she yearned for adventure and to re-ignite her passion for writing. Jeff was tired of piecing together low-paying part-time jobs and, with Caroline’s encouragement, applied for a position as a relief lightkeeper on a remote North Pacific island. They endured lonely months of living apart, but the

way of life rejuvenated Jeff and inspired Caroline to contemplate serious shifts in order to accompany him. When a permanent position for a lighthouse keeper became available, Caroline quit her job and joined Jeff on the lights.

Light Years is an eloquent personal account that details Caroline’s endurance of extreme climatic, interpersonal and medical challenges, as well as the practical and psychological aspects of living a happy, healthy, useful and creative life in isolation.

Caroline Woodward is the author of Disturbing the Peace (Polestar, 1990), which was nominated for the Ethel Wilson BC Book Prize, Alaska Highway Two-Step (Polestar, 1993), Penny Loves Wade, Wade Loves Penny (Oolichan, 2010) and two children’s books that have also been nominated for many prizes. She lives on the Lennard Island Lightstation with her husband, Jeff George.

These free events are made possible with the assistance of the Canada Council for the Arts. For more information, go to www.harbourpublishing. com.

Estate Planning Seminar Most executors, when asked if they would ever take that task on again, would answer with a resounding “ No”.

Seminar presenter, Kevin Holte, District Manager with Familyside/Purple Shield says, “Executors, usually at a very emotional

and stressful time in their lives, need to complete a task they have never done or did once twenty years ago. They are required to find and gather specific documentation, know who to contact and pay numerous fees. For many, it is daunting. That’s why we are thrilled to

be able to provide this important information that can save families unnecessary headaches and estate settlement costs” The Estate Settlement seminar will be presented in Nakusp on Oct. 7 at 6:30 p.m. at Valley Funeral Home. To register call 250-265-4316.

CALENDAR SUBMISSIONS This page is for community, charity or fundraising events that are free (or nearly so) at the discretion of the editor.

Community/Place Names One good deed deserves another ryan willman Arrow Lakes News

Putting on a softball tournament is a lot of work; not only does it take a dedicated group of coordinators that form the core of the event but it also requires the altruistic volunteerism of community members. One cannot function without the other, and both groups of unsung heroes unselfishly donated their time to take care of everything behind the scenes of the August Long tournament. A smoothly run event, with hardly a hiccup to speak of, can only be achieved by sacrificing countless hours of personal time and the success of this year’s tournament is a testament to the efforts of many.

Most times the success of an event is reward in and of itself, but other times the unexpected fringe benefits sweeten the prospect of volunteerism and what goes around can, and does, occasionally come back around.

The Nakusp Slow Pitch Society was more than pleased this year to donate some remuneration to recognize the efforts of the Nakusp and Area Bike Society, who courageously stepped up to shoulder the responsibilities in the tournament’s beer gardens with serving and security.

“All in all it was a huge help,” Slow-pitch society member Ryan Struck commented after he presented a check for $750 in addition to $400 worth of recyclables to the local bike group.

BUT IS YOUR ESTATE

PREPARED?

7 out of 10 executors report their experience as highly stressful

Only you (will-writer) can prevent this Ryan Struck (right) presented Tristan Sinclair (left) of the Nakusp and Area Bike Society a donation from proceeds generated by the August Long Softball Tournament.

Nakusp and Area Bike Society Treasurer, Christa Rebman, is enthusiastic about the donation saying, “this money is a huge help for us because we are just getting started as a society and we are working on building up a strong membership. Having money in our account helps when we apply for funding or land tenures to show that we are serious and committed.”

Rebman added the society is having a meeting this fall with the Ministry of Forests to get approval for tenure for trails in an area surrounding Nakusp.

“Once we have tenure,” Reman explained, “then we can get busy applying for money and start building trails and making Naksup into a destination for all kinds of bike riding.”

Kaslo’s origin and spelling always controversial greg nesteroff Arrow Lakes News

Ninety-sixth in a series on West Kootenay/Boundary place names In the last installment, we began looking at the origin of Kaslo, first mentioned in 1889 as Caslo.

The Kaslo Claim of June 9, 1893 wrote: “It is surprising how many different ways people spell the name of this city. Here are some of the ways: Caslo, Kasaloo, Kelso, Kalso, Kasslow, O’Kaslo, Kasloo, Kaslien, Caslien, Kissloo, Kisslow, Cashloo, and many others. The proper and official way to spell it is Kaslo, always with a big K.” George Owen Buchanan, West Kootenay’s early timber baron, addressed the subject in an address to the annual convention of the Boards of Trade in Eastern BC. His speech was reproduced in The Kootenaian on Oct. 30, 1913. “‘Look for timber on Caslo Creek,’ said Mr. G.M. Sproat, government agent at Revelstoke when I was leaving in May 1888 for my first trip down the Columbia River to Kootenay Lake.

He was kind enough to spell the name for me: C-a-s-l-o. ‘I have the information from the late [Robert] Sproule,’ he said … And now as to the name. I have seen old maps in which the name appears spelled with an initial C. Mr. [David] Kane, however, at an early date decided for the use of a K instead …

“Mr. J.W. Cockle derives the name Kaslo from ‘aassassaloo’ which in Kootenay Indian language (Mr. Cockle says) means a ‘raspberry patch.’ This abbre-

So you’ve made your will and named your executor.

Some theories say Kaslo comes from a First Nations word to do with berries. Others say it’s after John Kaslo or Kasleau, a placer miner who worked for the Hudson’s Bay Co. Greg Nesteroff photo

viated (by white men) became ‘sassloo — Caslo – Kaslo.’ Many of us have a more commonplace explanation. Within easy memory, old Caslo, an Indian, was living at Bonner’s Ferry. Some few years before our time this Indian, under the auspices of Richard Fry … had spent a winter in trapping marten on Kaslo creek.

I have heard his catch stated at 800, and again at 1,500 skins. He had a cabin on the present townsite, and the site of his operations continued to be known as Caslo’s creek. As to the origin of the Indian’s name, I do not know, but I never had any doubt that a good priest (perhaps one of Spanish extraction) christened him ‘Castello.’”

However, when the Geographic Survey of Canada inquired about Kaslo’s name in 1905, postmaster David Kane replied: “Kaslo was named by my brother and myself in the year 1890. Previous to this time my brother and myself staked a preemption and a purchase com-

prising a mile square or 640 acres more or less at the mouth of the river that flows into Kootenay Lake at this point.

“The river was then and had been for many years before named ‘Kaslo’ so we named the town after the river. As to how the river got the name ‘Kaslo’ there does not seem to be any exact proof, but I do know that there is nothing in the fable of ‘where blackberries grow’ as blackberries do not or ever did grow here.

In early days I lived alone at this point and for a whole year had nothing but Indians around and not one of them could tell me a word as to how the name originated. The name is not Indian, that is certain.

“What I do know is this: for a time when I was alone here I had an old Frenchman trapper staying with me in the cabin for awhile and he told me that years before when the Hudson Bay Co. came in on this lake to get lead from the Blue Bell Mine for bullets, that there was a Frenchman with their party by the name of John Kaslo or Kasleau, who came up the lake to the head looking for placer gold and had named the river after his name.

“This seems to me to be reasonable as there is traces of old placer workings on the river. I would be inclined to think that ‘Kasleau’ is the right spelling as Lardo at the head of the lake is shortened from ‘Lardeau.’ I could never find any Indian that knew anything about that blackberry story and I know all the old time Indians.”

Next: The search for Johnny Kasleau.

The objective of this notice is to provide resource users with an opportunity to identify areas of concern within FDU's to ensure that concerns are addressed prior to development of an area of crown land allocated for the company's forest development activities. Comments specific to the FDU's will be recorded and kept on record to ensure that comments are considered at the development stage. The FSP is available for public review at Kalesnikoff’s office in Thrums (2090 Highway 3A) during regular business hours 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Alternatively, the FSP can be viewed on the company website www.kalesnikoff.com with a corresponding email for the public to provide written comments on the plan.
