Voyages of Rediscovery bring salmon to the CRT table

Missing mushroom picker’s family struck by bad news

The family of a 71-year-old Burnaby man who went miss-ing while picking mushrooms east of Vernon last month has received the worst news possible.

Nakusp Search and Rescue, with the help of a police ser-vice dog, found a body in the bush about 40 metres from a spur road that connected to the road where Kyung Chun aban-doned his van after it got stuck in the mud. He was originally reported missing Sept. 19.

RCMP said there was no obvious signs of trauma to the body, which was positively identified as Kyung Chun and it

was determined that Mr. Chun died of natural causes.

Chun, according to his daughter San-dra, has been a hobby mushroom picker for 15 years. Though he normally goes picking with his wife, Seol, on this par-ticular trip he was helping a friend col-lect pine mushrooms. The area is pop-ular with mushroom pickers, who sell their finds from nearby campsites.

“He doesn’t even go into the woods,” said Sandra. “He’s a driver. He always said if he goes into the woods he’d die.”

Chun had some health issues. He received a kidney transplant, had a pacemaker, and had two strokes in the past, Sandra said, causing him to walk with a limp. But his mental state was sharp.

On Saturday, Sept. 14 around 6 p.m., Chun realized he’d misplaced some of his medication and told his picking partner he was returning to Burnaby to get a refill and would be back on Sun-day night.

On Monday, a group of campers saw his van stuck on the road as they were heading into the woods. When they returned from the bush on Thursday,

Sept. 19 and saw the van still there “red flags and alarm bells went off,” Sandra said, and Nakusp RCMP were notified.

“My mom got a call that afternoon saying do you know where your hus-band is, and she said no.”

Meantime, Chun’s picking partner didn’t feel anything was amiss when Sunday came and went with no sign of Chun, and eventually hitched a ride back to Revelstoke and caught a Grey-hound to the Lower Mainland a few days later.

“It didn’t set off any alarm bells for him,” Sandra said, clearly exasperated. “That’s why I’m so angry with this man.”

Chun had been seeking a shortcut off the mountain on the logging roads and had reached a dead end when he got stuck on a muddy track. He was only about seven kilometres from the main track, Sandra said, and the area is fre-quented by pickers.

“When you’re picking you’ll go any-where and everywhere,” she said.

Sandra said it appears he had attempted to free his wheels from the muddy track on the evening of Sept. 14,

without success, then opted to spend the night in the van. There was plenty of food and fuel in the van, she said, so she wonders why he didn’t just sit tight and wait.

The next morning, it seems, he tried to find his way out. The van was found locked, with the driver’s side window cracked open a little to let the mush-rooms breathe.

“Everything from there is a mystery.”When Sandra and other family mem-

bers arrived to assist search-and-res-cue volunteers Sept. 21, she was sur-prised because the area where he’d dis-appeared didn’t appear desolate at all; there were several well-used roads and in many cases the surroundings were opened by clearcuts. It didn’t seem an area where one could easily get lost, she said.

Sandra wonders if the stress of the situation contributed to his disappear-ance.

“Maybe he was disoriented,” she said. “There’s obviously something that happened when he left the van, to make the choices he did. It’s horrific. It’s a nightmare.”

A group of paddlers traveling from the ocean to the headwaters of the Columbia River in Canal Flats pulled ashore in Nakusp last week. At first there was a black speck on the grey water reflecting the cloudy sky, but as they came closer, four paddlers took shape in their canoe. Guides Adam Wiks-Arshack, Xander Demetrios, John Malik Zinser and fisher Jay Callahan have been making their way up river since August 1.

But all this paddling isn’t just to get some arm exercise: all four young men are passionate about fish and wildlife, and are hoping their trip raises aware-ness of the plight of salmon who used to navigate the waters of the upper Colum-bia long before there was a border or dams.

On their way north, the three river guides stopped at five different schools to make dugout canoes along the way

as part of the Voyages of Rediscovery, a program designed to facilitate edu-cational expeditions. They have been making Voyages for the past five years, including trips along Lake Roosevelt, and a Canadian excursion into Ontario last year making birch bark canoes.

This time out on the water, they are bringing a message that it’s not too late for people to get involved in the Colum-bia River Treaty (CRT) negotiations to ensure that environmental issues are part of the talks this time. Canadians are key to the treaty, Wiks-Arshack said.

“Canadians have the power,” said the expedition leader, pointing out that Can-ada has flood control and holds the key to the Columbia’s flow. He hopes Cana-dians will put pressure on the Ameri-cans to ensure environmental consid-erations are part of a new treaty, unlike the one negotiated back when the dams were constructed.

Wherever the group has gone, they have asked people living along the Columbia what is at stake, what is

being changed and what’s happening in regards to the CRT locally.

For their part, the voyagers would like to see that fish and fish passages are on the table in the next round of nego-tiations, whenever that takes place, and are hoping to inspire others along the river to stand up for fish as well.

They have been able to recruit help along the way directly. Jay Calla-han joined the group when they liter-ally crashed into the beach where he was fishing. Passing through one of the locks along the dammed river, the canoe had had to join a larger boat to go through. When they were through and loose of the barge, they had been flung toward the banks of the river, fly-ing through Callahan’s fishing lines and onto land. The fisher, who had recently returned from a huge tribal paddle of over 15,000 people along the Colum-bia, took it as a sign that his canoe time wasn’t done and joined the expedition.

The original trio of river guides had met with good fortune early in their trip

up from the Pacific, and had been able to sail hundreds of miles, saving their arms for the challenging rapids near Cas-tlegar. Their first day into Canada they encountered snow for the first time during their trip, an unfortunate cliché, and may encounter more before they are done. After two months on the water, they plan to reach Canal Flats at the end of Octo-ber and their paddling time will be finished, but their cam-paign to raise consciousness of the importance of bringing environmental considerations to the treaty table will still be going strong.

Large grow op in Edgewood busted

Over 3,800 marihuana plants were seized on Tuesday, Oct. 8 in Edgewood, B.C. The large grow op, its plants rang-

ing in size from seedlings to two feet in height, was detected by police who received infor-mation that a hydro bypass was in place in the 8900 block of Highway 6 in Edgewood. The

RCMP would not say how they came to be aware of the bypass.

At the time of the search, there was no one on the prop-erty, but police say there was evidence that the grow was

being tended on a regular basis.RCMP are continuing to

investigate and intend to lay charges for the grow op as well as for stealing power.


Kootenay West MLA keeping an eye on CRTThe Kootenay West MLA

first caught wind of changes the Americans are proposing to the Columbia River Treaty (CRT) at a conference in 2010.

The Americans want to re-examine the current agree-ment because they think it is not equitable and the Canadian Entitlement is too much, said MLA Katrine Conroy.

“This has always been a worry for us,” she explained. “And we’ve really had con-cerns after myself and my

colleague Norm Macdonald (MLA Columbia River-Revel-stoke) first heard a presentation by the Americans at a confer-ence a few years ago.

“After we heard that we went to cabinet to have the govern-ment start public consultations in Canada and start addressing the concerns.”

Although the major issue is downstream benefits, flood control and environmental issues are also being heard, said Conroy.

“We would not decommis-sion dams. Especially after the

disconcerting high water lev-els in 2012,” she said, add-ing, “they need our flood con-trol, water for irrigation and the power it generates. We are in a good position to negotiate.”

The CRT review began in 2011 with a series of public workshops and commitment from the Local Governments’ Committee, with support from Columbia Basin Trust, to pro-vide an opportunity for resi-dents to understand the impact of the treaty and have a say in its future terms.

A working draft report of

the review was released by the Ministry of Energy and Mines Sept. 28, and one last round of public consultations begin next month.

“This is the last kick at the can,” said Conroy. “Here’s one last opportunity to see what they’ve put together and the key issues from people in the Basin before we take it to Cab-inet later this year.”

Final provincial CRT work-shops are scheduled for Jaf-fray (Nov. 4), Golden (Nov. 5), Nakusp (Nov. 6) and Castlegar (Nov. 7).

Celebrate re-using with Trash to Treasure Day

It’s Trash to Treasure time again! The RDCK’s semi-annual celebration of waste reduction is happening on Saturday, October 19. This one-day event provides par-

ticipants with an opportunity to give away used items to those who may find value in them.

This is also a chance for residents to search their com-munity for their neighbours’ unwanted treasures.

On Oct. 19, residents are

encouraged to place any gen-tly-used, unwanted house-hold goods together at the front of their property in a location that can be safely accessed by treasure hunters. A sign should clearly indicate which items are available to take home. By 4:00 p.m. the

same day all remaining items should be gathered up and taken inside. Please keep your community clean by remov-ing unwanted items!

Visit the RDCK’s website to download a Trash to Trea-sure sign for your property: www.rdck.bc.ca.

Basin communities become more climate-resilient

Climate change adapta-tion initiative sees successes throughout the Basin

As countries and citizens around the world discuss the latest global scientific report on climate change recently pub-lished by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, com-munities in the Columbia Basin are already preparing thanks to their participation in the Com-munities Adapting to Climate

Change Initiative (CACCI), spearheaded by Columbia Basin Trust (CBT).

Since 2008, CACCI has helped communities increase their resilience to climate change impacts, from offering one-day workshops to helping with year-long planning pro-cesses.

“Participating communities have taken important steps by sharing climate impacts with residents, undertaking projects that help plan for change, and

considering climate change sci-ence when making decisions,” said Neil Muth, CBT Presi-dent and CEO. “We applaud the communities that are plan-ning and becoming more resil-ient to these changes and invite other communities to connect with us to learn more.”

The District of Sparwood, for example, has been tak-ing action on wildfire risk reduction, emergency pre-paredness, water supply and flood prevention. The Dis-

trict has also helped local res-idents understand what climate change impacts and adaptation mean by piloting a commu-nity engagement and commu-nications project last year cen-tred around the theme “Nature Changes, We Adapt.” This project places Sparwood as a leader in engaging residents on climate impacts and adaptation at a local level.

Pot reformers fell short of their sign-up target for the first third of their campaign to force a provincial referendum on marijuana enforcement.

Sensible BC spokesman Dana Larsen said the campaign had 65,000 signatures as of Oct. 9 – 15,000 less than their aim of 80,000 by the 30-day mark of the 90-day petition drive.

“We’re a little bit behind the target we set,” Larsen said, adding getting canvassers offi-cially registered has proven more onerous than expected.

But he remains confident the campaign can succeed in get-ting the signatures of 10 per cent of eligible voters in every B.C. district.

That would take 300,000 signatures in total, but Larsen said the aim is for 450,000 or 15 per cent in each riding to provide a buffer against signa-tures that are declared invalid.

The campaign aims to pass legislation that would bar police from spending any time or resources enforcing the fed-eral law against possessing small amounts of marijuana.

Its goal is to use that as a starting point to work towards broader legalization.

Defeat in any single district means the petition campaign fails.

And even if it succeeds, a referendum is not automatic – the Legislature could intro-duce the proposed Sensible Policing Act but not put it to a vote.

If it was sent to another ref-

erendum it could be non-bind-ing – the HST referendum after a successful Fight HST peti-tion was binding only because Premier Gordon Campbell declared it so.

Fight HST also had many more signatures at their 30-day mark – more than 300,000 – and eventually got 705,000.

“They got a lot more than they actually needed,” Larsen said. “They could have done it with less.”

Larsen said canvassers have already got nearly enough sig-natures in Vancouver districts like the West End and along False Creek.

Most Interior and Northern districts are also doing well, with about a third of the signa-tures gathered, and campaigns are running ahead of schedule in Nelson, Kelowna and Kam-

loops.Suburban ridings in Metro

Vancouver, including Surrey and Coquitlam, have proven more challenging.

“Surrey is a bit of an issue. It’s a lot of districts in one city and a lot of people that we need.”

Canvassers from Vancou-ver will be sent to those areas as Vancouver ridings wrap up, Larsen said.

So far, Sensible BC has 3,000 canvassers registered, up from 1,600 when they launched.

Larsen expects the canvasser count will grow to 4,000 by the early December deadline, but that would be well short of Fight HST’s 6,500 canvassers.

Sturgeon catchers come up empty, this time

If you’ve been fishing on Upper Arrow Lake recently, or hanging out at the marina, you might have seen a boat on the water equipped with nets. This unusual sight is part of a stur-geon restoration program and the nets were being used in hopes to catch a few of the prehistoric-looking fish to figure out if their numbers are com-ing back.

The program has BC Hydro part-nered with federal and provincial governments, as well as the Okana-gan Nation Alliance, and it was the ONA who were here recently, con-ducting field sampling for juvenile white sturgeon.

Talking with Mike Hildebrant, Collette Louie and Casmir Tonas-ket just before their last day out on the water near Nakusp, the crew of three hadn’t had any luck catching sturgeon so far, and their luck didn’t

improve. No juvenile white stur-geon were captured during their ten-day sampling session that ranged from MacDonald Creek up to the confluence of the Bea-ton Arm.

“In an area as large as Arrow Lakes Reservoir, finding and capturing small white sturgeon is like looking for needles in a haystack,” BC Hydro represen-tative Jen Walker-Larsen told

the Arrow Lakes News. Walker-Larsen said that further sampling through this study is planned for the next four years, and that it will take time to be able to tell whether recovery efforts are making a difference.

Since 2002 BC Hydro has been releasing hatchery-raised juveniles in the Columbia River downstream of Hugh L. Keen-leyside Dam. Numerous stud-

ies are also being done to help restore the white sturgeon pop-ulation, said Walker-Larsen. And although no juveniles were caught this time out, results of studies have provided evidence that successful survival from age one to adulthood can occur, does suggest that hatchery released juveniles are surviving and growing well, she said.

Outdoor Education provides real-world lessons for students

Making tarp shelters, learn-ing firearm and boat safety, get-ting Search and Rescue skills to help people in need: it’s all possible at Nakusp Secondary School through Outdoor Educa-tion. Instructor Dorian Boswell has developed a curriculum that will give kids hunting, WHIMIS, road flagging and boating safety certification as well hands-on experience practising survival skills that could be the differ-ence between life and death in the bush.

The program is popular with the students who take it because they not only have a great time, they also see how it could help them after they’ve left school. Grade 12 student Erin McLeod

said she is really enjoying Out-door Ed, and thinks it’s a great idea to get more kids doing it.

“So far, my favourite activities have been making fires, working with maps,” said McLeod, who received some helicopter train-ing last week during the high school’s Explore Day. She’s also looking forward to maybe doing some avalanche safety training this winter in the course.

Student Jacob Henschke was impressed that the class was receiving training and certifica-tion that had real-world applica-tions and could lead to well-paid jobs out of school.

The Outdoor Ed’s overnight stay was a hit with many of the kids, some of whom are excited about the winter camping trip. But it’s not just about fun and games: the students clearly see

the practical benefits of not only getting a head start with some useful certification but just being able to survive outdoors.

“People never think that it will ever happen to them, being lost in the woods, cold and alone,” said one student, “I hope it never happens to me or a loved one, but if it does this course is going to prepare me for the worst.” Not only do the students learn how to survive, but they are also receiv-ing Ground Search and Rescue training, which teaches them how to search for lost people and transport the injured.

If you or your kids want to see what the Outdoor Ed program is up to this year, come to the Nakusp Secondary School open house on Wednesday, Oct. 23 from 5–7:30 p.m.

The Sinixt: A people without recognition in their own home

Trials and tribulations of a truck driverEditor,My name is Mark, and I have

been a truck driver in the West and East Kootenays for 17 years. I work for a contract trucking com-pany based out of the West Koo-tenay. We handle many types of cartage ranging from dry goods, all types of alcohol, and many types of perishables. Included are fruits and vegetables, bread, milk products (liquid and cultured), cheeses, fresh seafood, all types of frozen food-service products, and ice cream.

I am writing this for those who know very little, or nothing at all about the routines, procedures, and responsibilities of a trucking company carrying perishable food products.

To start with, I would like to focus on all the small communities from Crescent Valley to Nakusp, and Nelson to Kaslo. We service all of the restaurants, golf courses, gas stations, markets, liquor stores, beer and wine stores, liquor retail store outlets, hot springs, and hotels.

This summer has been a dry and hot one, and many travelers have come this way because of it. Kaslo and Nelson in particu-lar are very beautiful towns in the summer, and they have shown our company an extremely busy sea-son for all of our contracts — in fact, the busiest summer in many years. We are very happy for all of our customers who prospered from this year’s seasonal traffic, as it doesn’t last very long.

During the course of the sum-mer I have had a few local citizens of these communities and some travelers approach me while doing deliveries in the downtown cores, most of them concerned with the noise of the reefer unit of the truck, and some uptight because I have blocked a lane so traffic can’t drive through.

I apologize to you all. I am only trying to do my job. I don’t do it to

annoy anyone, and now feel I need to explain my actions.

As mentioned, we carry many types of perishable food products, so, with extremely hot weather I need to keep that truck cold. We are contracted and obligated to keep each type of perishable item at proper temperature. To achieve this, the system must operate all the time to work efficiently. I try to park as close to each receiving door as possible to make deliver-ies quick.

One of our main concerns, as well as our customers, is receiv-ing their orders at a reasonable time so that they have fresh, prop-erly chilled food to prepare for their customers. I know all of my customers trust me to do all of the above, and I am very proud of the service that I have provided for the last 17 years. Ask any one of them, and they will tell you.

We have even gone to the trou-ble of having the decibel levels of the reefer units tested by the RDCK to make sure all units are operating at a safe and legal noise requirement. Test results showed all units operating at safe levels, as dictated by federal government regulations.

I have heard many excuses why I should turn off my reefer unit or move my truck. As an operator of a large truck, I can tell you we have very few options as to where we can park safely to do our deliv-eries.

I had one lady start taking pic-tures of me as I worked in the lane behind a local restaurant. She was upset that she had to drive around the block to her destination. She threatened that if I blocked her way again, she would take the pictures to the proper authorities to deal with. My guess is that it added an extra two or three min-utes to her alarmingly busy sched-ule.

I am sure that some peo-ple don’t realize there are desig-

nated service lanes for all trucks to use for delivery purposes. In our case, we have a bulkhead door on the passenger side of the vehi-cle where all the frozen products are kept.

I feel it is my responsibility as the driver to make sure that my helper and I are safe as we have to climb in and out of that door all day long. The rest of the prod-uct gets brought out the back of the truck, down a ramp on a two-wheel hand dolly and we then work toward our customers receiv-ing areas on either side of the truck, thus making us vulnerable to injury if cars drive past on either side.

My plea to all residents and users of Kaslo’s, Nelson’s, and other surrounding communi-ties’ downtown cores is to please respect your local businesses delivery vehicles, give us the room we need to service your commu-nity, and please try to be patient. Plug your ears if you don’t like the noise of the reefer units, please don’t park in any commercial loading zone at any time, even if you are dying from lack of caf-feine.

After all, we are making sure your dining experiences and gro-cery purchases are as fresh as you would expect them to be. We are also community members and, on occasion go shopping and enjoy dining out like everyone else. I would never forgive myself if I took my family for dinner to a res-taurant I had delivered to and they ended up in the hospital with food poisoning.

So if you don’t have a com-ment worthy of encouragement or a friendly gesture that we can cheerfully reply to, please just let us do our work, as it is a very labour intensive job, and our days are very long. Thanks.

My name is Mark, and I am a concerned truck driver.

In 1956 the Canadian government declared the Arrow Lakes Indian Band, the Sinixt people, extinct. There was only one problem – they were still alive. Although none lived at the Oat-scott Reserve just south of Burton, some Sinixt still lived in Burton and Edgewood. But the government was about to begin negotiations with the U.S.A. for the Columbia River Treaty that would dam the Columbia and cre-ate a reservoir stretching from Castle-gar in the south to Revelstoke in the north. It would seem that the Sinixt extinction was politically expedient. This 200-kilometre long lake would eventually wipe out nearly all archae-ological traces of a culture that had endured for over five thousand years (Sinixt means “people of the Bull Trout”).

About 3,500 years ago the Sinixt began building semi-permanent win-ter villages using pit houses, the orig-inal geothermally heated homes. This was made possible when they began drying fish in large numbers for their winter food supply. During spring, summer and fall, the Sinixt were mostly nomadic, moving to different parts of their territory to pick berries, dig roots or hunt game. At these times, they lived in tipi-like structures cov-ered in tulle mats, tightly woven mats made from tulle or cattail leaves.

Because of their relative geological isolation and permanent villages, the Sinixt developed complex social and political structures based on matrilin-eal lines. Women owned the houses and other material goods and all major decisions concerning tribal life were under the jurisdiction of a council of elder women. Men could be hunting, fishing and war chiefs, but only during the period of such activities.

The main fishery for the Interior Salish peoples was at Kettle Falls on the Columbia in present day Wash-ington State. Seven different nations used this fishery to gather their win-

ter supply of salmon. The Sinixt con-trolled this fishery by designating who fished where and how many fish could be taken on any given day. It was the job of the fish chief to assure that the salmon returned every year in num-bers sufficient to feed all these peo-ple. At the end of the fishing season, the Sinixt would return to their north-ern territory with enough dried salmon to get them through the winter.

When the first miners and set-tlers arrived in the Arrow Lakes, many Sinixt left their traditional ter-ritory to escape persecution and mur-der. Remember that many of the min-ers coming into this territory came from the California gold rush, and there was a general consensus at the time that “the only good Indian was a dead Indian.” In Washington State, the Colville Reservation was estab-lished in the late 1800s but none was established in Canada until 1911. It was safer for the Sinixt in the U.S. as they were afforded at least some pro-tection.

Many Sinixt settled on the Colville Reservation but many also moved to the Okanagan, the Shuswap and the East Kootenays. But the Indian Act of Canada says that if you move to another territory, you lose your sta-tus and become a member of the host nation. Many Sinixt who moved were then designated Okanagan, Shuswap or Kootenai. Some even moved as far away as Queen Charlotte Island but most stayed among the Interior Salish speaking nations, which accounts for some of the claims laid to this territory by other tribes – many of their ances-tors were Sinixt and some have living memory of living in this territory.

In the early 1980s an ancient native village site was discovered at Vallican, in the Slocan Valley. Initial archaeo-logical findings dated the site to about 3,500 years, with continuous occupa-tion until about 100 years ago. The site was the largest untouched native village site in B.C. at the time with

Gryphon Trio brings wealth in piano trio form to Bonnington

With the second concert in their season, the Arrow Lakes Arts Council brings the invig-orating talents of the Gryphon Trio to the Bonnington Arts Centre for an inspiring night of chamber music.

Annalee Patipatanakoon, violin, Roman Borys, cello, and Jamie Parker, piano, form the Gryphon Trio. Having impressed international audi-ences and the press with their highly refined, dynamic perfor-mances, the two-time Juno win-ning Gryphon Trio has firmly established itself as one of the world’s preeminent piano trios. Performing from Canada to Russia, United States to Egypt, Belgium to Scandinavia and major centres in between, this national treasure is always in demand and continues to daz-zle audiences with memora-

ble performances. This season, they will tour throughout Brit-ish Columbia, the Northwest Territories, Alberta, Ontario and New Brunswick.

Ensemble-in-residence at Music Toronto for the past decade, the Gryphon Trio con-tinues to push the boundaries of chamber music. The trio has commissioned and premiered over 50 new works from estab-lished and emerging composers around the world and has col-laborated on special projects with clarinetist James Camp-bell, actor Colin Fox, choreog-rapher David Earle, and a host of jazz luminaries. Their most ambitious undertaking to date is a groundbreaking multimedia production of composer Chris-tis Hatzis’s epic work Con-stantinople, scored for mezzo-soprano, Middle Eastern singer, violin, cello, piano, and elec-tronic audiovisual media, which

they have brought to audiences across North America and at the Royal Opera House in London.

Deeply committed to the edu-cation of the next generation of audiences and performers alike, the members of the Gryphon Trio take time out of their busy touring schedules to conduct masterclasses and workshops at universities and conservatories across North America, and are Artists-in-Residence at the Uni-versity of Toronto’s Faculty of Music.

Doors will be open at 7:00 p.m., and the concert starts 7:30 p.m. Tickets will be available at the Bon March/Dollar Store until Wednesday afternoon, then at the door. Come and join us on Wednesday, October 23 for one of the highlights of this Con-cert Season, the Gryphon Trio, in an exciting evening of cham-ber music!

Learn the skill of accepting mistakes, and public speaking, at Toastmasters

Once a retired gentleman said to me, “If I could do it all over again, I would learn two things at a young age. I would learn accounting and also how to speak in public. Looking back, I know how much those skills would have benefitted me.”

I would agree with him com-pletely, and especially about public speaking. I had always felt awkward about speaking in public. Every time when I had to speak to more than two peo-ple, my heart fluttered. I wished to overcome that, but how? And luckily, I found out that there was a Toastmasters club in Nakusp and I joined in. That was six years ago, and today I feel that the Toastmasters’ expe-rience has changed the way I am.

So, how did it change me? People tend to think Toast-masters is for improving pub-lic speaking ability, but it is far more than that. Toastmasters gives you practice to get out of your comfort zone.

Because we don’t have an instructor in our meetings, things are done on a volunteer basis. We volunteer to take on different meeting roles, and we volunteer to do speeches for the next meeting. Yes, we volunteer to do speeches knowing that two weeks later we’ll be standing in front of the audience with shaky knees. But getting out of our comfort zone on a regular basis is a good thing!

Another thing Toastmasters has given me is the realization that making mistakes is okay. In Toastmasters we learn how to do things by actually doing

them. So, naturally we make a lot of mistakes in the process. But when we watch other club members doing the same thing and getting better at it, we real-ize that making mistakes is a learning process.

Our club members are sup-portive and eager to listen to each other’s speeches. Where else could we find an audience who is willing to sit and lis-ten to our “not–so-perfect-yet-speech” time after time, and willing to give us feedback with a big smile?

We invite you to experience our meetings. Visit us! Arrow Lakes Toastmasters meet on the second and fourth Tues-days of the month at 7:15 p.m. in Nakusp at Selkirk College. For more information, contact Mayumi van der Pol at 250-265-0002.

Middle Earth turns into fairytale cafe for Burton restauranteur

Bright yellow flowers and a patch of seasonal orange pumpkins sit qui-etly outside what once was the Mid-dle Earth Cafe in Nakusp. A few bal-loons humbly marked the opening

of Gabi’s Fairytale Cafe, the new-est eatery in town opened by Gabi Koehler on Tuesday, October 8.

Koehler is also the maker of the legendarily good noodles (garlic, spinach, and even chocolate) avail-able at local farmer’s markets. But if you don’t know about them, don’t be

surprised: they sell out quickly, sometimes in minutes, because those who do know know enough to get them while they can.

Gabi’s Fairytale Cafe is Koehler’s big shift into the res-taurant biz, and even though there was little fanfare for the first opening day, there has been

a buzz about the new café in town for quite a while.

The stately space, with its natural wood and mossy-green interior, complemented by stone window sills and tabletops, was filled with the smell of lentil soup on the first day. Five bucks got you a bowl of soup, a slice of bread with a generous square

of butter, and a complimen-tary house-made coffee choco-late. The soup was hearty, and the quinoa salad looked healthy and filling. Pumpkin muffins, scones and cookies populated the counter, available from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m. Monday to Sat-urday. Stop in and give it a try.

Managing well with a rural move

You might have seen him, the new manager at Nakusp’s one and only grocery store, Overwaitea, gazing at the lake from a bench along the water-front. Here’s a bit more about the new guy in town.Who: Neil Allkins What: New manager at Nakusp OverwaiteaWhen: He’s been here since July 2Where: Although he grew up in Port Coquitlam,

Allkins enjoys smaller communities. Working in Golden and then Vernon for the last couple of years, he is very happy to be in Nakusp and get-ting to know everyone.

“I’ve met more people in the last few months that I did in Vernon in two years,” he told the Arrow Lakes News.

Allkins’ wife is also settling in and is already working here at the veterinary clinic, but his kids are further abroad: his daughter is going to college and his son is in Golden playing for the Rockets.

Like all newcomers to the area, Allkins is blown away by the beauty and serenity of the place, and prefers to walk down to the waterfront and enjoy the view on a coffee break.

Feel free to say hi if you see him sitting on a bench.

Finding a squash to cook for all seasons

Quick – name five varieties of squash before you read the next sentence!

Zucchini, patty pan, hub-bard, pumpkin, delicata, acorn, crook neck, butternut, spa-ghetti, buttercup, Hokkaido, turban, winterhorn, trombone, and Bennings green tint to cite just a few.

The external beauty of squashes in autumn always gets me. I love the colour vari-ety, the shapes and the various size differences. To be hon-est, other than baked acorn squash and Jack O’Lanterns at Hallowe’en I have never been much of an aficionado or paid squash that much attention until I got involved with the Vegibox.

As the curator of our weekly varietal produce boxes, I have the challenge and the pleasure of researching all of the local fare and choosing what to pur-chase for our group of custom-ers. Squashes of different vari-eties have been an available choice going back to the mid-dle of July. Being a Vegibox subscriber myself, I was pre-

sented with the opportunity to learn more about this.

In summer, we see more of the ‘young’ or immature squash most readily identified by the edible skin. Summer squash varieties include green and yellow zucchini, patty pans, white flat, sunburst, and crook neck.

Squash offers a healthy dose of Vitamin A and a respectable amount of vitamin C. It is easy on digestion, low on the glyce-mic index and contains a mere 82 calories per cup.

I started the research for this column by looking up the ori-gin of the word squash. Why do we call it that? Turns out, it is a short form of the Mas-sachuset Indian word askutas-quash, meaning “eaten raw or uncooked.” Which led me to wonder where we got the word pumpkin. Pump-kin comes from an old French term pompion, meaning eaten when “cooked by the sun,” or ripe. In modern French, pumpkin is called potiron or citrouille.

Squash originates in the Western Hemisphere and was cultivated by early North and South Americans. It has spread worldwide with the exception of Northern Europe and Great Britain, presumably because it requires a fair amount of hot weather to grow.

Most summer squash can be eaten raw or lightly grilled, steamed, sautéed or stir-fried. One of my favourite dishes is sliced zucchini sau-téed with whole mushrooms

in butter and garlic. Winter or hard-skinned squash works well pierced and then oven-roasted whole with the seeds removed prior to serving. To tempt kids to eat squash, it can be mashed with butter and brown sugar and served alongside their favourite meat dishes.

Roasted Squash and Braised Kale

Tips: roast the squash a few hours ahead of time (then reheat) but cook the kale just before serving- it Preheat oven to 425F.

Ingredients4 cups peeled and cooked

squash (butternut or similar)1 acorn or delicata squash,

cut into rings1 red onion, slicedFresh thyme springsOlive oilSea salt and ground black

pepper1 bunch kale2 slices bacon, chopped2 garlic cloves, minced1/3 cup dry white winePlace both types of squash

in a large bowl and add onion and thyme. Drizzle with oil and generously sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss, then spread out on a baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven until squash is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, cut out large centre ribs and stems from kale. Cut leaves cross-wise into thick slices. In a large, wide frying pan, sauté bacon over medium heat. When crispy, add garlic and cook until light golden,

about one minute. Remove to a small plate but leave bacon fat in pan.

Increase heat to medium-high. Add kale and stir-fry for one minute to absorb bacon fat. Pour in wine. Stir con-stantly until kale has wilted, five minutes. Move to a large bowl and add bacon and gar-lic. Add cooked squash and onions. Toss to mix. Place on a serving platter.

Winter squash have a hard skin that makes them easy to keep at the ready during the colder months. Courtesy Trisha Shanks

Making movies way more fun than watching Smurfs

Ah, the movies. While Hol-lywood seems to have fallen into some kind of creative sinkhole for the past, say, 30 years, film is still one of the biggest industries out there. There’s still nothing quite like gathering a few of your friends, purchasing some egre-giously overpriced snacks and sitting down in a big, dark box to watch some action. Or some drama. Or maybe even some romance, if your signif-icant other managed to con-vince you to sit through two hours of cinematic torture and Richard Gere. If you picked well, you’ll get an experi-ence that you’ll leave talking about, or in the romance case, snogging about. If you chose poorly, then you’ll probably fall sleep with your hand in a greasy bucket of popcorn that cost you $20. I told you not to go see The Smurfs.

It isn’t just Hollywood, either. Film has been a world-wide industry for a long time, but it’s since the late Aughts

when films from other parts of the world have really been gaining ground outside of their country of origin. No longer dominated by scream-ing Japanese men jump-kick-ing people into conveniently-placed tables and Godzilla, other countries have leapt into the fray. The other big movie mecca, India, has been mak-ing them since the 30s. With movies like Singham, in which some guy – presumably the movie’s namesake tiger – slaps the absolute bollocks out of some delinquents in a Jeep (which he outruns), it seems Bollywood might beat out its namesake. I dunno about you, but I’d rather watch that than Scary Movie XVIII.

So, with movies being (mostly) awesome and all, how does one break into the movie industry? Nowadays, any young punk can grab his i-whatever and film his “friend” getting his jewels mashed with a stick, but that’s not exactly big-screen level. If you really want to learn about what it’s like to make a movie, the hop into your DeLorean

and travel back to Oct. 10 at NSS, where JoAnne Alaric and Michelle Williams helped a class full of future directors, actors, and editors make their very own movie.

The first thing we were pre-sented with was a handout. Normally, that would mean three pages of copying sci-entific minutia from a text-book, but this was more “find-ing out exactly how many peo-ple actually work on a movie” and less “the mating habits of the fox and the hound.” Rather than the popular belief of a movie having five roles–writ-ers, director, producer, actors, and everybody else—there are actually more than that. Way more. Think 50-and-up more. Those roles include the “Best Boy,” who is not, con-trary to the name, some kind of Korean mail-order husband website, but rather handles organization, rentals and calls. Also on the list is a “Rigging Gaffer” who sounds incredibly British and hangs lights.

Of course, with 15 or so students and a one-room set, we didn’t need any of those.

Pretty much everybody was an actor except for the Good-mans, who got to boss every-body around, and our two edi-tors—Wolfgang and Emery. The script we worked off was one from a scene of the show “Hell on Wheels,” a popular western about the construc-tion of the first transcontinen-tal railroad. The reason for that is that Michelle works on it. Forgive my uncharacteris-tic enthusiasm, but that kicks butt! JoAnne, of course, is no slouch either, being famous ‘round these parts for her doc-umentaries and work with Number Five Productions. What better teachers could we have?

The million-dollar question is, ‘How did it turn out?’ The million-dollar answer is pretty dang good! While my dreams of being the new generation’s William Shatner were crushed, everybody else did a great job. No one would ever mistake our end product as professional, but compared to the previously mentioned nut-crushing You-Tube compilations, ours was modern art.

Increase projectnakusp capacIty

BC Hydro is looking at options to ensure that future electricity needs of Nakusp will be met as the region continues to grow. The demand for electricity is expected to increase significantly in the Nakusp region over the next 10 years. The existing substation, located on Highway 6, is aging and needs to be replaced.

One of the options BC Hydro is currently exploring involves the building of a new substation in the Nakusp area. Once completed, this project will increase electrical capacity in Nakusp and ensure the community continues to receive safe, reliable electricity for the long term.

BC Hydro will continue to provide project updates to keep area residents, businesses and local governments informed of the project status and upcoming activities. Additional opportunities for the public to learn more about this project will be provided, including a future advertised community information session.

If you have any questions, or would like more information about the Nakusp Capacity Increase Project, contact us at 1 866 647 3334 or [email protected]

over 60 cultural depressions (the remains of pit houses, food stashes, etc). Since then, a site near Lemon Creek was discovered with over 90 cul-tural depressions. Both sites were designated Interior Sal-ish in origin.

Local citizens formed The Vallican Archaeologi-cal Society and petitioned the government to purchase

the land, which was part of a subdivision scheduled for sale. The land was pur-chased by the BC Heritage Branch to protect it. When, in 1989, the Ministry of Highways decided to build a road beside the site, with a new bridge to cross the Lit-tle Slocan River, many locals thought this was inappropri-ate to the site preservation.

A delegation drove down to the Colville Reservation

in Washington State to meet with Sinixt elders to explain the situation. It was decided at that meeting that it was time for the Sinixt to return to their village site and the northern part of their tradi-tional territory to look after their sacred burial site.

Many of their ancestors’ remains had been carted off to Museum vaults and had been dug up by some locals as souvenirs. Sinixt have a

duty to their ancestors to take care of their remains. Thus the Sinixt returned to the Slocan Valley to try to stop a road from possibly disturb-ing more of their village and to petition the government for the return of the bones of their ancestors. After sev-eral years the government decided to return the bones for reburial but the Sinixt were considered extinct so they had to be returned to a

recognized band, the Okana-gan, who the Sinixt consider a cousin tribe.

The Sinixt returned to their traditional territory in 1989 after almost 50 years in exile. Their territory includes mainly the Slocan and Arrow Lakes valleys, with 80 per cent of their territory north of the 49th parallel. The U.S.A. recognizes them as Sinixt but the Canadian government does not. It has been a long

struggle to establish their place in the social structure in Canada in spite of their extinct status. For the past 25 years they have petitioned the courts to try to regain their native status but, with the Columbia River Treaty coming up for renegotiation, it seems unlikely that the government of Canada will be willing to admit to their error in declaring the Sinixt extinct in the first place.

CEDAR CHALETMANAGER/CARETAKER

The Village of Nakusp is looking for a Manager and/or Caretaker for the Cedar Chalets at the Nakusp Hot Springs. The Village expects to take over the operation of the Chalets in November 2013. An exciting opportunity exists for an individual who is experienced in the hospitality field, is personable and who is able to help successfully integrate the Cedar Chalet

operation with the Hot Springs.

The Village is looking for a Manager for the Chalets, a live-in Caretaker and part time housekeeping staff. It is preferred that the Manager live on-site at the Hot Springs (accommodation provided), however, this may be negotiable if we identify an individual or couple interested in a separate live-in Caretaker/part-time housekeeping role.

If you are interested in learning more about either of these opportunities available at the Cedar Chalet, please contact Robert Richards (CF0) in the Village office 250-265-3689 to discuss or email him at [email protected].

ANDY DAVIDSONHusband • Father • Brother • Uncle • Friend

March 20, 1921 – October 2, 2013

Born in Revelstoke, Andy lived his lifetime there in the scenic Columbia River valley nestled between the majestic and snow-capped Monashee and Selkirk mountain ranges. He enjoyed all seasons in the great outdoors, whether it was hiking on mountain trails, boating, golfing or cross-country skiing.

Andy grew up with his siblings – Jim, John, Elsie, Alex, Dorothy and Bill. During World War II, Andy served with the Canadian Army. Returning home, he worked as a mechanic at “Davidson Motors”, the local Ford dealership owned by his brother Jim. Later, he worked with his two brothers, John and Alex, in the family business known as “Davidson’s Transfer”. That business had been started by their father in the early 1900s. They operated the business for many years until it was sold. Finally, Andy retired after working with the City of Revelstoke as a mechanic.

Andy was married to Marge for 66 years. He is survived by his wife and two daughters, Ann and B-J. He is also survived by his sister Elsie Jamieson, and his brother Bill (Marie). There are also many nieces and nephews, and their families.

Andy was a loving, helpful, honest and hard-working man. Everyone will remember his friendly smile.

No services, by request. Cremation arranged by Brandon Bowers, Revelstoke.

The quest for the right in-flight snack affects migration patterns

The distance travelled by birds during a typical migration varies considerably. Some may migrate as little as a few hun-dred metres as they move from mountain slopes to valley bottom. Others may travel 15,000 kilometres or more.

The champion long-distance migrant must surely be the Arctic Tern. This small, slender, gull-like bird breeds in the Arctic and winters in the Antarctic. The popula-tion breeding in the western Canadian Arc-tic takes a fairly direct route to Antarctica, flying more-or-less due south off the west coast of North and South America. Those breeding in more easterly regions, how-ever, follow a much longer and more com-plicated route. The trip begins with an east-erly flight to the west coast of Greenland, then around the southern tip of Greenland and east to the west coast of Europe. From there they follow the coast of Europe and Africa to reach the southern ocean where they disperse east and west along the Ant-arctic coast.

Why such a roundabout route? Arctic Terns have rather specific food require-ments. The small marine creature on which they subsist are restricted to cold water.

The very warm Gulf Stream current flow-ing up the east coast of North America makes it necessary for these birds to cross the Atlantic where they find water cold enough to support suitable food items. The one-way trip takes three months and for some individuals, the return trip covers 40,000 kilometres.

While no other birds can match the total distance travelled by Arctic Terns, the story of the Bar-tailed Godwit’s migra-tion is even more remarkable. A few years ago a team of scientists developed a light-weight satellite tracking device that could be safely attached to smaller birds. Sev-eral godwits in western Alaska were fit-ted with these devices prior to their south-ward migration in the fall. What the data revealed was that these birds flew to islands off New Zealand for the winter.

This fact was not the surprise, since this was already known. The big surprise was

that the birds made this 11,000 km flight nonstop. These birds flew without rest, without sleep and without food for eight days to reach their destination (the photo shown here is the closely related Marbled Godwit).

Overwater, nonstop flights are not unknown, but the time and distance required to make the godwit journey is unprecedented. Many east coast migrants fly nonstop from the New England coast to the northeast coast of South America, a distance of over 3,000 kilometres. Even though this is an over water route, it is taken by millions of land birds every fall. It is believed that the favourable winds are responsible for making this route attractive to so many birds.

Large numbers of many species will wait in coastal areas until weather condi-tions are suitable. When the time is right, huge flocks leave land and head out over the ocean under the cover of darkness. Even the diminutive hummingbird is capa-ble of impressive nonstop journeys. They are known to cross the Gulf of Mexico, a distance of up to 1,000 kilometres.

Prior to embarking on long flights, birds must build up their fat reserves. This fat serves as the fuel for the journey, and the amount of fuel on board determines the length of journey. If flying over land, run-ning out of fuel is not necessarily a seri-ous problem, they can come down and feed for a few days, but it is a matter of life and death for land birds flying over oceans. If a flock encounters adverse weather they may run out of fuel before they reach land. When this happens thousands of emaciated birds sometimes wash up on shore.

Mystery behind Castlegar took a century to solve

We’ve been looking at Castlegar, which townsite founder Edward Mahon named in 1897 for his Irish ancestral home—a fact locals swiftly forgot. Several alternate the-ories emerged:

• That during railway construction, a building resembled Castle Garden, the 19th century New York immigration port, which led to the shortened Castlegar.

• That ‘Castle’ referred to a prominent rock formation overlooking Robson (oth-erwise known as the Lion’s Head) and gar was Gaelic for ‘rock.’ However, gar does not mean rock in Gaelic.

• That ‘Castle’ was for the Castle Rock, but ‘gar’ was after Algar Johnson, an early settler, sometimes nicknamed ‘Gar.’

• That two homesick CPR engineers, Sullivan and Murphy, named a water tank Castlebar, after the capital of County Mayo, Ireland. A mapping error somehow changed it to Castlegar.

It was also suggested Castlegar might have been named directly after a place in Ireland, but usually assumed the namesake was a community in County Galway, not the Mahon estate.

Only once was the true origin hinted at locally: the Castlegar News’ 1967 centen-nial edition told of Robson resident J. Hes-lop, who visited the manor in Ireland and met George “Mahan” — Edward’s nephew.

The mystery persisted despite several dead giveaways. When Edward died in 1937, his Vancouver Sun obituary explic-itly stated Castlegar was named for his family seat.

In the 1970s, Edward’s son Bryan vis-ited Castlegar with his family but was dis-mayed that no one seemed to know or care how the city got its name.

In 1988, Eleanore Dempster wrote The Laughing Bridge: A Personal History of the Capilano Suspension Bridge, which also said Edward Mahon named Castlegar, but locals failed to notice.

In fact, it wasn’t until 2002, when Phil Markin, the city’s director of development services, looked at the original townsite plan and found Edward Mahon listed as the owner that Castlegar’s founder began to receive his due.

Bryan Mahon died in 2005 but his wife Marolyn has since visited Castlegar a few times and received a much warmer recep-tion.

Local historian Walter Volovsek last year published The Green Necklace: The Vision Quest of Edward Mahon, a com-prehensive biography that devotes consid-erable space to Castlegar’s early evolu-tion. Using Mahon family artifacts, he also curated an exhibit in Castlegar and North Vancouver.

Edward Mahon didn’t live to see his beloved townsite flourish into West Koo-tenay’s second-largest city. The difficul-ties that stymied its development appear to have finally been resolved in the 1940s, when larger blocks were subdivided into housing lots. Today Mahon’s original townsite is mostly residential.

The 200-year-old home in Ireland that gave the city its name still stands, although it’s no longer in the family. The old stable is now a bed and breakfast.
