Nakusp woman wins literary award JILLIAN TRAINOR ARROW LAKES NEWS When Deirdre Dore left Nakusp on Nov. 1 she left as a finalist for the Writer’s Trust/McClelland & Stewart Journey Prize. She came home on Nov. 4 a winner.

Dore was temporarily shocked when her name was announced.

“I couldn’t even stand up for a second, I was so excited,” she said. “I was thrilled, overwhelmed, and humbled.”

The Journey Prize was launched by a author

James Michener. He was writing a novel called Journey, about an English lord’s doomed trek across Canada to get to the Klondike gold rush.

During his research, Michener developed a warm spot for Canada, and donated all the royalties from the Canadian printing of the book to McClelland & Stewart, to create the Journey Prize.

The prize is awarded for published short fiction in a Canadian literary magazine. The literary magazines choose which stories they want to send in.

Dore’s short story, The Wise Baby, was one of 12 stories selected to be published in the Journey

With winter coming, people are trying to find ways to beat those winter blues.

For some, it could mean going skiing, or snowboarding. For others, it could mean a walk down the trail.

What if you want to be active, but would prefer to be in an indoor setting?

This is where Bridging the Gap comes in.

“Bridging the Gap initially was set up so that we could bridge the gap of movement throughout the winter months, and bridge the gap between our old and our young.” said Nikki Cole, a Zumba and Belly Fit instructor here in Nakusp.

Cole hosted an open house for Bridging the Gap on Nov. 2. People of all ages were welcome.

“I’ve never come to anything of Nikki’s so this was a really good opportunity come and support what she does,” said Janis Neufeld.

“She has so much energy, and is doing so much for the community.

I wanted to support her.”

There was food and drinks, donated by local businesses, and treats made by Cole, which don’t contain any sugar.

A variety of games were played, including a version of musical chairs, with a twist.

While players went around in a circle, they also had to do some kind of movement with a part of their body, like their leg, foot, arm,

or neck.

Another game played was Bus Stop. One person sits down in one of several chairs, and another person has to get them to leave their seat.

There was lots of laughter and smiles throughout the evening.

Door prize items, donated by local businesses, were given out, including gift certificates, and free classes for Zumba, or Belly Fit. One lucky winner got $25 worth of chocolate from Jennifer’s Chocolates.

Everyone had a good time.

“The concept was brilliant. I don’t do enough with my kids, so we need more opportunities for parents and kids to hang out,” said Neufeld. “I got to see my kids being goofy. It was great.”

Legion works hard to attract younger members JILLIAN TRAINOR ARROW LAKES NEWS With Remembrance Day upon us, we take the day to honour our veterans.

While the main service is held at the cenotaph at 11 a.m., another one happens at the Royal Canadian Legion about an hour before.

There is a good number of Legion members in Nakusp, but the organization is having difficulties in recruiting younger members.

“It’s not terrible, but it’s not as good as it could be.” said Harvey Truax, president of the Legion.

Truax says it’s hard to attract younger members, because the organization is still seen as an “old boys club” despite the fact

that about a quarter of those who belong to it are women.

Another reason is some of the older members might not want to associate with the younger crowd, because the type of lifestyle is so different from their own.

However, members are seeing a need for new blood.

“I talked to a few of the older fellows, and they’re starting to realize that if we won’t change, there won’t be a Legion in 10 or 15 years,” said Chester Taje, 2nd vice president of the Legion. “It will go down a sorry path, and it won’t be there for the younger veterans to enjoy.”

The Legion is making an effort to bring in younger people.

They’ve purchased a large screen in order to show sports games on certain nights, and they host a game night ev-

ery Friday. People can bring their own games if they want, or they can play pool or darts.

If you own a motorcycle, there’s also a Legion group for that too, called the Legion Riders.

“There are four or five of us right here in Nakusp,” said Taje. “That’s kind of bringing in a younger crowd that likes bikes, along with some of us older guys that likes bikes. You can mix the two there, we have something in common, and that’s good.”

It doesn’t take much to become a member. All you have to do is fill out a form.

Spouses, children, and grandchildren become associate members.

You can still become a member if you’re not a Canadian citizen, but you’ll be a member with no voting power.

Prize Anthology. Of the 12 stories selected, three are chosen as finalists for the Journey Prize, and are asked to come to Toronto for the award ceremony.

Dore said the whole process leading up to the awards ceremony is long, but every stage is thrilling, especially being published in the anthology.

“I’ve been reading them for years,” she said. “People study them in creative writing programs. Just to be included is really an honour.”

Dore describes her short story.

“It’s about a philosophy student, a woman, who is having trouble writing her thesis. She’s having boyfriend troubles, and she’s living in a leaky condo kind of place in Squamish. Next door to her is a needy couple with a baby who keep knocking on her door, wanting this, that, and the other thing, while she’s trying to come to terms with these existential concepts, these philosophical concepts of being, the concept of being with a capital B. In the meantime she’s thrust into this living being with a small b. It was kind of a juxtaposition of those two worlds.”

Everything on the trip was paid for, from the flights to and from Toronto, to the hotel rooms.

“They put us up in a really nice little boutique hotel, it was a really lovely place.”

Dore did have some free time on her trip, and she decided to make the most of it.

“The main thing I did was go to the Art Gallery in Ontario, they had a wonderful John Turner exhibit,” she said.

“I just kind of walked around town and visited the Great Hall. They had some amazing heritage buildings there. I did a little shopping, and drank a little wine.”

While she had a great time, it was also nervewracking. If you win, you have to have a speech prepared, and you have to read it in front of literary giants. If you lose, you don’t have to read the speech, but you lost. Dore said it was like being on an emotional roller coaster ride.

She did, however, find something, or rather someone, to help keep her calm.

“Just before I sat down, I met Elsa Franklin, who was a long-time literary agent for Pierre Burton.”

Burton asked who Dore was sitting with. Dore replied she wasn’t sitting with anyone, so Franklin invited her to sit with her group.

Dore said Franklin essentially became her fanclub, cheering every time Dore’s photograph would come up in a set of revolving pictures.

“She’d start cheering ‘Yay Deirdre’. It kind of helped to relax me a little bit, because I was so, so nervous.”

Along with the Journey Award, Dore also received $10,000.

She hasn’t decided exactly what she’s going to do with the money. She would like to earmark it for something special, and hasn’t ruled out travelling.

“I love to travel. I’d like to go up to Haida Gwaii,”she said. “And of course, some of it will be spent just on living.”

B.C. firms shortlisted to build new inland cable ferries Two British Columbia firms have been shortlisted for the project to design and build four new inland cable ferries.

Following a Request for Qualifications (RFQ), the Province of B.C. has invited Harbour Cruises Ltd. of Vancouver and Waterbridge Steel Inc. of Nakusp to bid on the project.

“These four new inland cable ferries will be important additions to the province’s inland ferry fleet and the communities they serve,” said Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Todd Stone.

“The fact that two B.C. firms have been invited to move onto the next stage of procurement demonstrates the improved strength and capacity

of B.C.’s ship-building industry.”

The cable ferries to be replaced serve the communities of Glade and Harrop-Procter on the Kootenay River, Arrow Park on the Arrow Lakes, and the Adams Lake Indian Band and other residents on Adams Lake. The existing cable ferries serving these communities have now reached the end of their working life. Some have been in service since the 1940s.

The RFP will close in January 2016. With a successful bid, it is expected work on the first of four new vessels to begin in summer 2016, with all new vessels expected to be in service by the end of 2019.

The renewal of the inland ferry fleet is a priority in B.C. on the

Move, the Province’s 10-year transportation plan.

Quick Facts: • There are 14 inland ferry routes in B.C., operated for the Province of British Columbia under contract.

• Five of the routes are served by cable ferries, four use free-running ferries and five are reaction ferries, which are propelled by river current.

• Last year, B.C.’s inland ferries carried approximately 1.5 million vehicles and 2.2 million passengers.

• The four cable ferries to be replaced carried almost 480,000 vehicles and 662,000 passengers last year.

With November 11th just passed, the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 20 would like to take this opportunity to thank the people of Nakusp for their attendance at the Remembrance Day Service, Parade and at the Cenotaph.

Thanks to the generosity of the businesses and the general public for their contribution to our poppy campaign which made it a very successful one.

Did you know the money raised through the Poppy Campaign and other fundraisers does not stay within the Legion? All money generated goes directly back to the community.

I would like to thank the Ladies that counted the money, the canvasser's that volunteered their time, the community choir, the Legion Ladies Auxiliary that provided the luncheon as well as everybody else that volunteered to make this a successful Remembrance Day. I would be remiss if I didn't thank Linda Snyder for the "Lest we forget" cake, the students who participated in the Poppy poster and literary contest, the teachers that made it happen and the judges.

On behalf of our veterans, and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, as well as the Royal Canadian Legion Branch # 20, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the people of Nakusp and District for supporting us and showing respect during this time of year.

We hope to see you throughout the year at other activities we are hosting, as well as during our 2016 Poppy Campaign and Remembrance Day ceremonies.

Respectfully, Poppy Chairperson Cheryl Truax

This week we’ll venture into the fascinating world of the NaSeniors’ kusp Public Library. There are column several aspects to this service, which began locally in 1920, aquaconn@columbiacable.net although in a couple of different locations.

It is affiliated with the Kootenay Library Federation, which connects Kootenay libraries throughout various parts of the West Kootenay and other parts of BC. To begin this colourful journey, take note that Kootenay libraries will lend books, audio-visual materials, which include movies, music and also an extensive list of audio books.

Borrowed items may be returned to any public library in the

SENIORS’ COLUMN province, whilst periods of lending time, which patrons are granted can vary from library to library. Be sure to check with the library staff or volunteers for guidance and information and in particular check the date indicated on the reference checkout and return slip attached to the borrowed item.

You can apply for a BC OneCard, available to all BC residents who hold a valid library card, which can be facilitated by any public library including our own. Items loaned on the BC OneCard are conveniently adjusted for the purpose of shipping the items eliminating overdue fines if returned by the market due date on the checkout and return slip.

A further advantage offered to patrons is the use of the public library website nakusp.bc.libraries.coop. Here you can identify the various resources located at the library. You can also place

reserves and renew library materials as well as order books in from other library locations.

In addition, you can access online databases including newspapers, encyclopedias, magazines and other items as well as download eBooks and access an extensive inventory of audiobooks. Many of us enjoy researching a variety of subjects with topics ranging from small engine repair guides to nutrition and health information, local or even international newspapers and so much more.

The Nakusp Public Library is open Mondays from 6-9 p.m, Tuesday through Fridays from noon to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from noon – 5 p.m. Next week, readers of our Seniors’ Column can learn how to reserve and renew their library materials and also set up a personal account.

Did Kinnaird come from Kinney, Kinnear, or Kinert?

GREG NESTEROFF ARROW LAKES NEWS One hundred and second in an alphabetical series on West Kootenay/Boundary place names Last week we began looking into the naming of Castlegar’s former twin town of Kinnaird. A popular theory says it was christened after the 11th Lord Kinnaird, but there is an alternate explanation.

According to the Castlegar Historical Review, published in 1952, Kinnaird “is definitely named after some early settler of the locality. But conversation with several old-timers cannot reveal who he was.”

According to notes in the BC Provincial Archives place names file dated 1962, the CPR also indicated it was “after [an] early resident in vicinity” while the village clerk “Thinks [it was] named

by CPR engineer after place in Scotland.”

Leading Kinnaird citizen Ross MacDermid wrote in the Castlegar News of Sept. 28, 1967: “Don’t ask me when the district came to be called Kinnaird. Doubtless the CPR knows if someone could persuade head office to chase back in the records 50 or 60 years. The original group who worked in 1947 and 1948 [to incorporate the village] didn’t find out, although they did establish that it was named after a man named Kinnaird (and his name rhymed with laird and not lard) who had been a district superintendent. There

was an argument over whether he had been a superintendent or surveyor, and another over whether it was the CPR or the Columbia and Western railroad, but since these things didn’t really matter, the question was dropped.”

MacDermid, the newspaper, Selkirk College, and the then-Town of Kinnaird weren’t able to unearth any more details “other than the fact Mr. Kinnaird apparently did live near the infant townsite.”

The Canadian Permanent Committee of Geographical Names pointed to the Encyclopedia Canadiana, which agreed Kinnaird was named “After [an] early resident,” but neither source provided further details.

The News added: “A check by the divisional engineer of the CPR revealed no employee with the name Kinnaird but confirmed there was a resident of that name. Neither the Kootenay land registers nor the provincial archives reveals any trace of a resident of this name … None of the old-timers living can remember anyone named Kinnaird, but it could have been a resident of Waterloo or Montgomery, as some of the social notes [in the Trail Creek News of 1897] did refer to a ‘Kinnear.’”

The BC vital events index lists deaths and marriages of several people named Kinnaird, but none in West Kootenay. Neither the 1901 nor 1911 census lists anyone named Kinnaird in BC (although it finds a few Kinnards in Victoria).

The late Eli Popoff wrote in the Castlegar News of Sept. 23, 1971: “The oldsters were not too sure

just when this station came to be called Kinnaird, but do not remember it by that name when they arrived here [in 1909]. To the best of grandpa Eli Voykin’s recollection, the name Kinnaird was derived from the name of a railroad brakeman who lived there. His name was Kenny or Kinney and since his yard was bordering the railroad siding, it came about that any railroad cars spotted there were referred to as the ‘Kinny Yard’ and the townsite that developed was eventually registered Kinnaird.”

CPR conductor Alfred Joseph Kinney (18741936) was listed as a Castlegar resident in 1904-05 — along with brakeman Frank Kinert (18601915).

The latter may be highly significant: Kinert is in fact a spelling variant of Kinnaird and the Kinert clan lived in the barony of Kinnaird. Other branches of Frank’s family used the spelling Kinard.

Frank was born in Anamosa, Iowa, where his father David was a retailer, politician, court clerk, and county sheriff. As of 1886, Frank was a conductor with Union Pacific. In 1891, he married Anna Smith and the following year they had a daughter, Beulah. The 1900 US census finds them in South Sumpter, Ore., but by 1904 they appear to have gone their separate ways as Anna was running the National Hotel in Everett, Wash.

By 1911, Frank was living in Greenwood but still with the CPR. He died in Spokane of kidney inflammation and was interred in Glenwood Springs, Col., where his late mother lived.

But if he was responsible for Kinnaird’s name, how and why did it happen? At the time it was an obscure railway point, so perhaps his suggestion was met with a shrug and “Sure, why not?”

Notably, a still-obscure railway point east of Creston was named Kinert by 1912, possibly after a section foreman from Fernie named Fred Kinert, whose relation to Frank, if any, is unknown.

Another wrinkle: a 1916 map of Columbia River fruit lands held by the BC Archives shows “Waterloo (Kinaird)” [sic] and nearby “Annable Orchards.” The latter was named for George Malcolm (Mac) Annable (1858-1938), who also lent his name to the Warfield suburb.

Lastly, the portion of Kinnaird now known as Woodland Park was originally called Stewartsville — which we’ll look at separately later in this series.

School zone gets new sign to help drivers slow down JILLIAN TRAINOR ARROW LAKES NEWS If you’ve driven through the school zone in Nakusp over the last week or so, you’ve probably noticed something new.

A sign that lets you know what your speed is as you come up to it.

It was placed just under the sign that tells drivers to slow down because they’re entering a school zone.

“It’s definitely a good thing,” said Corporal Jason Burndred.

“It basically brings attention to people who may inadvertently be speeding in the school zone.”

RCMP have received complaints about how fast some drivers go through the school zone, and are upping their enforcements at that location.

With only a crosswalk to separate Nakusp Elementary School from Nakusp Secondary School, there can be a lot of students crossing that road five days a week.

The new sign, put up by the Ministry of Tansportation and Infrastructure, will hopefully encourage drivers to be more conscientious of their speed.

A division of

Parents of students of NES and NSS are happy the new sign is in place.

“I think it’s a good idea because it reminds people that it is a school zone, so they can slow down.” said Aubin Coulthard.

Coulthard thinks part of the reason some drivers go so fast in that area is because not everyone realizes it’s a school zone until they actually come up to the school.

Other parents agree and are pleased with the new sign as well.

“I started noticing it about a week ago,” said Gary Wanstall “I like it a lot.”

Wanstall said coming up to the school zone from the downtown area, it catches his eye right away, and he slows down to the proper speed.

There is only one new sign right now, but Wanstall would like to see another one at the start of the school zone coming off the highway.

“That’s where people are going faster, coming off the ferry just ripping.” he said.

At the time of publication, the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure was unavailable for comment.

Fire Chief for a day JILLIAN TRAINOR ARROW LAKES NEWS

One lucky student was chosen to be this year’s Fire Chief for a Day. Mattias McLean of Nakusp Elementary School was picked for the role.

Fire Prevention Week took place in October. Part of it included fire chief Terry Warren of the Nakusp Fire Department coming to NES and teaching stu-

dents from kindergarten to Grade 3 about fire safety.

After the lesson, the children were given pamphlets to take home. These pamphlets included a section on creating an escape route with family in case of a fire.

Students filled those out and brought them back to class. The plans were entered in a draw.

On Nov. 2, McLean became Fire Chief for a Day. After dressing for the part, he got to meet chief Warren, and hang out at the Nakusp & District Volunteer Fire Department.

Trail Society gets ready for winter JILLIAN TRAINOR ARROW LAKES NEWS Winter is coming and with it comes winterized use on trails in the area.

Some trails which can be used in the winter are the Peter Roulston Trail, the Hot Springs Trail, and the Jack Rabbit Trail.

Local trails are maintained by the Nakusp and Area Community Trails Society. In its mission statement, the society states it is “committed to the appreciation and preservation of the great outdoors, and the promotion of community spirit and healthy lifestyles.”

Over the summer, the trail maintenance committee worked hard at maintaining the trails, from clearing blowdown and brush to repairing water damage and bridges.

Now that winter is almost here, there isn’t much to do for maintanence.

“The Jack Rabbit trail, we try to

pack it a couple of times a winter for snow shoes,” said Barb Chwachka, chair of the Nakusp and Area Community Trails Society. “Occasionally we can get somebody to run a snowmobile up and down Peter Roulston trail.”

Trails are marked as multiple use where possible, though with certain trails, single use is the only option. A view from the South ridge of the “On the Jack Rabbit trail, the only Kuskanax Trail. thing you can use are snow shoes Photo by Wulf Mense because it’s so steep and rugged.” said Chwachka.

ALFA Artwalk 2015

This season’s ALFA Artwalk was extended to run from July through Sept, and with the new Feather Flags to mark each location, the attendance was way up for most participants.

Visitors were very impressed with the quality of the brochures and the artwork presented in the 18 locations. The map on the back of the brochure was a handy tool for the Info Center and the board would like to thank the staff for doing such a great job distributing it.

The Selkirk College “Artist in Residence” program, which is part of ALFA Art Walk, was so popular this year it is already booked for next year. There will be a call for artists and venues at the end of the year for those interested in participating in the 2016 season.

The board members would like to thank the artists, venues and sponsers: Columbia Basin Trust, Nakusp and District Chamber of Commerce, and Regional District Central Kootenay for their support of this project.

The ALFA Guild Society Annual General Meeting is coming up on Nov. 19, 7 p.m. at Selkirk College. All newcomers and members are welcome and refreshments will be served. Please join us in our effort to support arts and culture in the Arrow Lakes region.

Sports

Women’s hockey is back in town JILLIAN TRAINOR ARROW LAKES NEWS The women’s hockey league has kicked off its season here in Nakusp.

This year marks the league’s second year in operation after a nine year hiatus. It was a really solid team, but a lot of the women got busy with kids and their lives, so the league went to the wayside.

Last year, Sheila Seaton decided to start the league up again.

“I got a friend to teach me how to play, and started asking around,” she said. “Some seasoned players came out and some that had never played decided to come out, and that’s how we got started again.”

The team features players from the former league, as well as new players, some of whom only learned to skate this year.

No one plays any official positions, and the team doesn’t really have a coach either. That’s not to say no one is teaching the newer players anything.

JILLIAN TRAINOR ARROW LAKES NEWS The Nakusp Falcons peewee team hosted the Nelson Leafs at the Nakusp and District Arena on Nov. 7.

This was the second game of the season for the Falcons.

This game was very different for the Nakusp team. They lost their first match against the Grand Forks Bruins 6-4 on Oct. 25.

In the two weeks between games, the team worked hard at offensive maneuvering.

“We worked on our fore checking, driving to get the pucks forward,” said Wayne Hascarl, head coach for the Falcons. “We attacked them when they got the Nakusp Peewee Falcons Aidan Hascarl (left) and Noah Fizzard (right) are on puck.” the ice for the Peewee Falcon’s second game of the hockey season.

WORDS WORDS

“Anita Sinclair, who is a seasoned player, is playing with us this season,” said Seaton. “She’s been amazing, teaching those of us that don’t know anything, doing drills, and giving us tips on the ice, as well as teaching us our positions.”

Seaton said some of the other seasoned players have been really helpful as well, teaching the newer players about things like stick handling, skating, and stopping.

The hockey league offers women a chance to try a sport they might not have considered trying.

“It’s something different,” said Sue Groenhuysen.

“I’ve never done it before, always wanted to.”

Age makes no difference on the team. The youngest player is 20, and the oldest is in her sixties.

The women’s league season goes from October to March, and they play every Wednesday from 7-8 p.m.

“It’s fun and it’s great exercise,” said Sarah Sanders.

“It’s a nice way to be around other ladies and to get out of the house. You can’t get a better workout than playing hockey.”

Birds of Nakusp By Gary Davidson

There are fourteen representatives of the finch family occurring in British Columbia, all but one of these has also occurred in the West Koo-

tenay. Some of these, like the Pine Siskin are very common while others, like the Grey-crowned Rosy Finch can be very hard to find.

Three members of the family, Cassin’s Finch, Purple Finch, and House Finch, are in the genus Carpodacus.

These three species are

2016 Perfect for back roads or any road for that matter, the Outback delivers all-weather capability, massive versatility and unexpected car-like handling. These stellar qualities are wrapped up in a stylish package and backed by class-leading safety systems.

similar in appearance and, the females in particular, can be difficult to distinguish. The males are generally brown with varying amounts of pinkish-red. The females are overall streaky brown. About the size of a sparrow, females are often passed over as sparrows.

In an article I wrote in 2001, I stated that the most common of the three in our region was the Cassin’s Finch.

I cannot make that same claim in 2015. In fact, I haven’t seen one since 2010! I further stated that I might see just one or two House Finches in Nakusp, and only from time to time. This has changed also. There is currently a resident flock of House Finches in Nakusp; I see them almost every time I wander around town. This brings Nakusp in line with most other towns in southern BC. This species is generally the most common of the Carpodacus finches in urban areas. The species has

adapted well to man-altered environments and is at home in towns and cities. In Vernon, this is one of the most common birds seen at backyard feeders.

The Cassin’s Finch is more at home in open forests, such as the Ponderosa Pine habitats in the Okanagan Valley and in parts of the East Kooteney region. In the 1990s, however, I was seeing this species in and around Nakusp several times a year, particularly in the late winter and early spring.

The last of the three Carpodacus finches, the Purple Finch, has a rather spotty distribution around the province. Quite regular in places and absent in others. It is most common in the lower Fraser Valley, but also breeds in the northern regions of the province. In the West Kootenays, it is generally uncommon and most sightings are in the winter. At my feeders I see one or two perhaps once every four or five years.

2016 The compact SUV that just fits. The 2016 Subaru Forester was designed to put distance between itself & the competition. This compact SUV offers an unbeatable combination of all-road/all-weather capability, bulletproof reliability, top-notch safety, exceptional value and sheer driving enjoyment.
