RCMP have informed the me-dia that 45-year-old Peter DeGroot was involved in an “interaction” with two members of the RCMP’s Emergency Response Team (ERT).

Chief Supt. Frank Smart re-leased the following state-ment early this evening:

“Earlier today, at approximately 1:20 p.m., two members of the ERT were in an area of Slocan near a gravel pit conducting a search of a cabin. Upon entering the cabin there was an interaction between the subject of the ongoing search and the two ERT members. We

can con� rm the suspect is now de-ceased. No police o� cers nor mem-bers of the public were injured.

“We must respect that the specif-ics around what happened when the individual was located is now subject of an IIO (Independent Investigations O� ce) BC inde-pendent investigation. � is was a serious incident and we are pro-viding ongoing support to the families of the deceased as well as the police o� cers involved.

“� e scene has been secured awaiting the arrival of the IIO BC. As per any IIO BC investigation

those present during the major police incident are now subjects of the independent investigation.

“With respect to the parallel in-vestigation that was launched a� er the initial call to police on � urs-day, October 9, we can con� rm that our e� orts had wrapped up and we were in the process of releas-ing the scene of the initial incident and removing all police roadblocks and restrictions in the Slocan area.

“We would like to thank the com-munity of Slocan for the patience and understanding with respect to the police restrictions and requests

over the past few days. A number of additional resources were called to manage the police investigation and search and our e� orts worked to � nd the right balance between limiting or opening areas around Slocan as we addressed public safety issued.

He added that residents in Slocan are no longer in danger.

According to reports, DeGroot exchanged gun� re with o� cers on � ursday following a dispute the suspect had with another man.

Police say DeGroot � ed into the woods, prompting a search that has involved dozens of o� cers.

CommunityNew technology alters winter tire requirements

After October 1, most of British Columbia’s rural driv-ers are expected to be using winter tires by law. Winter tires are now defined as ei-ther M+S (mud and slush) or winter rated (indicated by a mountain and snowflake pic-tograph). Due to the possibil-ity of unpredictable winter weather on mountain passes, the stipulated dates range from early Fall to early spring, ending March 31. Because British Columbia’s climate zones can range from freezing with a lot of snow to mild and slushy, tires are a huge safety consideration.

According to the Rural Highway Safety and Speed Re-view’s Technical Summary Re-port published in July 2014, the Motor Vehicle Act’s definition of a winter tire has not been updated since 1979. During the time since the last revision, advances in technology have resulted in the M+S tire now having the capacity to handle in winter conditions whereas before it did not.

“The Motor Vehicle Act (Section 208) currently has a broad definition of a winter tire dating back to 1979. Currently, a winter tire is defined as a tire that is represented by its manu-facturer or tire retailer as a tire intended principally for winter use and that provides adequate traction in snow or mud. The Act also recognizes that winter tires must be in good condi-tion, with a minimum tread depth of 3.5 millimetres. A review of the current defini-tion found that both Mud and Snow (M+S) and Mountain/Snowflake rated tires are cap-

tured by the existing legisla-tion, but not explicitly stated.”

This explains the confusion around new signage and ob-vious changes which now in-clude both types of tires. The Government of BC’s driving and transportation web page now stipulates both types un-der the minimum legal re-quirement for winter driving conditions as either M+S (mud and slush) or the more familiar tires labelled with an image of a mountain and snowflake. These icons indicate a rating of snow tires and by definition, according to the same report must offer a minimum of 10 per cent better traction than the M+S standard reference tire in slippery driving condi-tions.

“Because the winter moun-tain/snowflake tire test is a cu-mulative score in varied snow surface conditions (Soft Pack Snow, Medium Pack Snow, Medium Hard Pack Snow, Hard Pack Snow and Ice) the 10 per cent improvement may not indicate a superior winter tire for all winter surface con-ditions,” the Ministry of Trans-portation’s report states in the section on winter tires.

Sixty per cent of B.C. drivers are located in a more temperate climate so the cities of Vancou-ver and Victoria are not includ-ed in the requirement for those driving on mountain passes. Most B.C. highways now re-quire passenger vehicles to use M+S or mountain/snowflake tires, and commercial vehicles to carry chains between Oc-tober 1 and March 31. The “designated Winter Tire and Chain-Up Routes” maps, avail-able on the Ministry’s new Tires and Chains webpage, show the few sections of high-

ways that do not require winter tires or chains during winter.

Dan McLean of Kal Tire in Nakusp spoke with the Arrow Lakes News, “We were notified in a memo from our head office saying that they had changed the ratings, though I haven’t come in contact with a single customer who has stated that they feel comfortable just put-ting on a regular tire for winter driving. We recommend win-ter tires especially because you never know what you’re going to get around here. My wife had two accidents last win-ter. The conditions were hor-rendous, and the vehicle had almost top of the line winter tires. For anyone who thinks they can get by on an all-sea-son, it’s not a good idea.”

ICBC recommends winter tires for driving in snow and ice, especially if driving in an area that gets a lot of precipi-tation because vehicles will be less prone to slide on the road in slippery conditions. Ac-cording to Transport Canada’s Winter Tire Safety Tips web-page, all-season tires (M+S) “continue to provide safe all-weather performance, but may not always be suitable for severe snow conditions.” They will provide traction, however are not as up to extreme condi-tions as the snow rated tires are because they begin to lose their elasticity and grip on the road at temperatures below 7°C.

RCMP, CVSE (Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforce-ment), and other policing agencies can prevent vehicles from travelling and issue tick-ets if a vehicle is not properly equipped for road conditions. Chains are required by com-mercial vehicles in extreme winter conditions.

CommunityTuition contest may help NSS alum achieve her dreams

Though Kia Has-carl-Johnsen now lives in McBride, she grew up in Nakusp and comes back to visit every summer. She spent her child-hood years in Brouse Loop from the age of 12 days until she was 18. In 1991 when she graduated from Nakusp Secondary School, Kia went north to pursue her secondary education in Prince George, to study Early Child-hood Education. Now twenty-some years later, Kia is hoping to further her vocational training and needs help to do so.

Things haven’t been easy for Kia. Af-ter battling crippling leg pain for most of her adult life, she opted for amputation of her left leg above the knee.

“I had an injury when I fell skiing at 11 years old — a torn meniscus and ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) — but then I kept reinjur-ing it. They replaced the tip of my femur with metal,” Hascarl-Johnsen explained in a phone inter-view from her home in McBride. She underwent 10 sur-geries, including a partial replacement. Doctors considered more surgery to fuse it straight, but there was no guarantee that Kia would be pain-

free, and she would then be left with a leg that didn’t bend. She spent 4 years trying to find relief dealing with pain clinics and receiving conflicting medical opinions.

“I sat in a wheel-chair, with a useless leg and in constant pain. When I was of-fered amputation, it seemed like the best chance of walking again. I could wear a prosthetic and po-tentially be much happier or stuck in the same spot. I had nothing to lose. Choosing to do that was the most selfish decision I have ever made.”

Referring to her two teenage boys, Preben (19) and Ak-sel Johnsen (17), H a s c a r l - J o h n s e n made the difficult decision to leave home in McBride for a minimum of six weeks in order to go to Prince George, two hours away from them, to receive her amputation surgery and rehabilitation to walk again. Her recovery instead took a total of 73 days (ten and a half weeks). Thanks to a day pass, she was at least able to get home to celebrate her old-est son’s graduation from high school. Now that Aksel, her second son is due to graduate this year, she is looking at life in a different way.

“For so long I sat and did nothing, oth-er than taking care of

my boys — making dinner and baking for them. I became addicted to the nar-cotics I was taking for my pain, and spent a lot of time sleeping. The biggest change in me since the amputation; I am happy.”

Kia was so in-spired by her time post-surgery in reha-bilitation, learning to walk and interacting with the others in the 20 bed ward also un-dergoing rehab that it has given her a new career path. She was the youngest there, and the only ampu-tee.

“We did a lot to-gether — played bocce, word games, and laughed a lot. I fell in love with the seniors that I inter-acted with. We went through a lot of simi-lar things — being alone in there, being on a hospital sched-ule, missing our in-dependence. The se-niors, some of them knew me but didn’t recognize their own children. I learned to be more patient (with the elderly),” she revealed to the Arrow Lakes News.

The degree of sup-port she received from the therapists and other patients changed her life. The first time she walked, it was into the din-ing room where the friends she had made there erupted into heartfelt applause. This has inspired her to go back to school

to become a Recre-ational Therapist, helping patients with fine and large motor skills through play. She believes her first-hand experience of being an amputee herself will give her the foundation upon which she can build skills to help others who are mobility-challenged, includ-ing other amputees. The program is two years long and she has to find a way to pay for it.

A longtime fan of the TV talk show Ellen, Kia created a video entry for a tuition contest be-ing held by the show only to find out that at 41 she had exceed-ed the maximum age limit. Discouraged but not dissuaded, this led her to an-other option: apply-ing for the Dr Pepper Tuition Giveaway which is available to all ages (www.dr-peppertuition.com/profi le/574311120 to vote for Kia). She still hopes to get the attention of El-len DeGeneres via a nomination to be on the show, and has even gotten a response requesting her to submit her sto-ry. Though the show mostly reaches out to Americans in need, Kia asks, “I watch El-len every day, follow along on all her apps: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and the Ellen app; she helps people every day. I have never seen her

offer help to a Cana-dian, but maybe I’ll be the first.”

Hascarl-Johnsen welcomes the empty nest combined with being pain-free as a new lease on life.

“I feel like I am in the healthiest emo-tional place I have ever been in. With my leg the way it was I had started looking at the kids and think-ing I had done the hard part, they’ve got this, they don’t need me. Pain every day was like a death sen-tence, I didn’t see the addiction happening until it was almost too late. Thank God something worked. If I still had that pain, I would not have hope for my future.”

A few facts are indisputable: Peter De-Groot disappeared into the woods sur-rounding Slocan on October 9 after an al-tercation was called in to the RCMP. This occurred between the hours of 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. After the police responded, at least one shot was fired and the window of the police car was damaged. A manhunt ensued. The village was locked down with police presence; inhabitants were warned to stay indoors and all traffic coming in or going out was stopped and inspected be-fore being allowed to proceed. By Saturday, things were getting back to normal in Slo-can and the RCMP changed their position to appeal to DeGroot. By Sunday, DeGroot was dead. I think everyone can agree on this much.

By initial mainstream media accounts, Peter DeGroot was an anti-authoritarian with a military background who abused his farm animals, engaged in a “shoot-out with police,” and then fled into the woods, creating a standoff with authority. He was to be considered armed and dangerous. The only photo published of him was un-flattering, starkly-lit and reminiscent of a mugshot. This created an overall negative image of the reclusive man. Schools and businesses were closed, residents were told

to stay inside, plenty of extra police pres-ence was ordered and the media vehicles began to show up. A helicopter began pa-trolling overhead and the sleepy village of Slocan became a war zone, looking more like a Hollywood set than a quiet valley town on the river.

And then Andrea Bell spoke up. A Nel-son resident, she had been reading the news reports about this event in Slocan but when his name was revealed, she was hor-rified to learn it was someone she and her partner knew quite well. Andrea took to social media and created a Facebook post describing him in a different manner than what the conventional media had been. She admitted he wasn’t “soft and fluffy either.” Many people seconded her opinion. Those who knew DeGroot personally used words like, “very soft spoken, kind person,” “noth-ing if not intelligent,” “Peter is an amazing man, and obviously misunderstood by the ‘majority’” and “I know this man and he has always acted fairly towards me and my kin.” These unsolicited opinions certainly give one food for thought, if only to lend some dimension to the demonization of a character who became notorious overnight in the media, not having been able to speak for himself.

Why wasn’t the mainstream media speaking to this man’s family? Comments on the CBC webpage from a person claim-

ing to be a cousin suggest DeGroot was the oldest of seven children and got top marks all through school, and that he had suffered from a brain aneurism. He had a story.

I contacted a few of the folks who wrote comments hoping to get an interview. I got an invitation to call Tracy Cameron, some-one who knew him when he lived in Nel-son. They met many years ago when she saw him knitting outside a coffee shop. Upon learning that the previously-unnamed subject of the manhunt was DeGroot, she immediately went to her local RCMP and gave a statement about his character. When speaking with me, she agreed he was a little different, but was not dangerous. She also stated that he had never been in the mili-tary, and she gave me some insight into DeGroot’s background; he was educated, came from a big loving family and had suf-fered a brain aneurism. His mother had nursed him back to health with a raw diet, which he still followed afterwards.

Words are powerful weapons, and it’s the media’s responsibility to not only tell the story but to also make it compelling. Em-bellishing and using dramatic angles gives television and radio media great sound bites, creates a buzz and attracts viewers or listeners. After all, without an audience there is no advertising and without ads, there is no money. Money is required to staff news coverage. I think we all get that.

As a new member of the media, I find it a very thin line to walk. On one hand, I want to create interesting stories and use vibrant language to attract and engage my readers. On the other hand, I have a very innate sense of fairness and equality. Things need to be true in order to print them, don’t they? At least I thought so. It bothers me greatly that mainstream, big media hasn’t bothered to research the other side of Pe-ter De0Groot; no one is reporting that this man was reclusive, quiet, intelligent and a pacifist. Nowhere do reporters mention possible mental health issues or exactly what set this off. Was it an an argument, an eviction, something to do with the way he kept his animals, or lack of a federally regu-lated butcher?

Investigative journalism, at least in my opinion, should involve investigation: facts from both sides of the story, not just the RCMP as in this case.

At 9:15 Sunday morning, enthu-siastic residents of the Arrow Lakes heard Earl Kelly an-nounce over his “Neighborly News” roundup that Nakusp was over the top. On Monday at 7:00 p.m. it was announced coast to coast on CBC radio news.

October 28, 1954 � e Regional Develop-

ment met recently with about 40 people from the Edge-wood area to discuss in gen-eral terms the planning of a new community to replace the existing community at Edgewood. � e meeting was unanimous in its desire to see Edgewood re-established as a community on a tongue of land between Inonaoklin Creek and Eagle Creek.

October 23, 1974 Earlier in the day, Mr. King

and Mayor Harding o� cially opened the Nakusp Child Care Centre in the absence of Norman Levi who was unable to arrive in time because of the fog.

October 24, 1984 Columbia Cable TV Ltd.

has reached as agreement with B.C. Tel workers and installa-tion of cable should start next week. Progress on the installa-tion of cable was stalled over a dispute with the B.C. Tel Union.

October 19, 1994 Nakusp will be the recipi-

ent of some of the funds an-nounced on Friday for eight health care initiatives in the West Kootenay Health Re-gion. A total of $510,042 has been approved for eight proj-ects under the government's new $42 million Closer to Home fund.

Seniors’ Column

As I gaze out my windows with sin-cere appreciation and wonderment at the beautiful scenery which greets me every morning near my home, I ut-ter a message of thanks that residents of our region are fortunate enough to live in one of the safest and most beautiful communities to be found anywhere in the province.

� is being the case, when a serious illness or tragedy strikes, it is natural for many of us to want to reach out to others in order to cheerfully share experiences and o� er support of one kind or another when our needs arise.

In the past, people relied primar-ily on family members, neighbours and good friends residing within the community we called home in order to both receive and share helpful in-formation, experience and support. Today, owing primarily to the rapid changes occurring throughout soci-

ety, people look toward those who face similar challenges to their own, via more formalized support groups as a vital source of inspiration and solace.

� e purpose of neighbourhood or organized support groups is to rein-force the activities and acknowledge the importance of bringing together wellness and health-related individu-als and organizations that network in their e� ort to meet their common goals. Participants believe that posi-tive change happens through enacting individual e� orts combined with the compassionate support of others.

Bene� ts experienced through tap-ping into a support group includes feeling empowered as one seeks to assume an active role in governing one’s own health and well-being to the maximum extent possible whilst gain-ing self-con� dence in coping with life’s challenges throughout the pro-cess.

How does one determine if a sup-port group is appropriate for you? � e following are some suggested be-haviours that might point to an indi-vidual’s need to reach out for support:

• feeling angry at not being able to make you or your loved one feel bet-ter, resulting in becoming irritable or short-tempered• social withdrawal — one ceases do-ing the things that once were impor-tant and brought joy into one’s life• experiencing anxiety — worry about one’s ability to face the next day, or feeling jumpy or even out-of-control• exhaustion and sleeplessness — feeling drained of energy, even a� er a full night’s sleep• observing the lack of concentration — feeling unable to stay focused on a speci� c task• health problems — � nding little or no time to take care of oneself along with experiencing an increase in the incidence of colds, � u’ or other ill-ness

For further information and sup-port on a variety of needs we may be facing on the subject of mental health, Alcoholics Anonymous (or similar) groups, individual or family coun-selling programs and services within the Nakusp and district service area, contact Arrow Lakes Community ser-vices at (250) 265-3674.

CommunityRotary international world Polio day

World Polio Day was established by Rotary International over a decade ago to commemorate the birth of Jonas Salk,

who led the first team to develop a vaccine against poliomyelitis. Use of this inacti-vated poliovirus vac-cine and subsequent widespread use of the oral poliovirus devel-oped by Albert Sabin, led to the establish-ment of the Global Polio Eradication initiative (GPEI) in 1988. Since then the GPEI has reduced polio worldwide by 99%.

Since 1985 Rotary International’s Po-lio Plus program has contributed greatly to the protection of more than two bil-lion children from the dreaded disease of Polio. Rotary In-ternational’s goal is the certification of polio eradication. Po-lio eradication means the interruption of the transmission of the wild poliovirus. With its vast volun-teer network of 1.2 million members in more than 165 coun-tries, Rotary is the

key private sector partner in the war against polio, pen-etrating nearly every polio-endemic and high risk country to immunize the world’s children. Rotarian contributions sup-port transporting the vaccine and health workers to immu-nization posts and initiating dynamic public education pro-grams to motivate parents to vaccinate their children.

The Nakusp Ro-tary Club has do-nated over $2392.22 to the Polio Plus pro-gram for the 2013 – 2014 Rotary year and expect to match this amount again in 2015. The club’s contribution was matched by Melinda and Bill Gates Foun-dation and the Gov-ernment of Canada.

Since 1985 Ro-tary’s contributions to the global polio eradication effort has been 1.3 billion dol-lars US.

Sports

Hats off for the start of the Sr. Boys Soccer season

� e Nakusp Secondary Sr. boys soccer team kicked o� their 2014 soccer season by traveling to Revelstoke on Monday October 6 to take on a familiar squad from Golden. � e Revel-soke location was used as neutral ground for the con-test.

� e Nakusp Cougar’s game play was settled, but aggressive as they moved the ball smartly and main-tained possession for the majority of the game. � e defensive line looked cool

and collected as they de� ly moved the ball away from the volatile centre lanes and neutralized the play to the sides. Once safely pushed to the outside, the touchline grinders, Taylor Gandbois and Angus Jackson, battled hard to move the ball up � eld and into the o� en-sive zone. Caught on their heels, the Golden squad could do little to stave o� the onslaught as the ball was crossed into the middle scoring lanes where a rotat-ing line of strikers consist-ing of Cole Hawk, Logan Mengler, Solomon Tupper and Clinton Surina attacked

the net Lil’ John style by peppering the keeper with shots, shots, shots, shots, shots.

� e boys’ smart play-making opened up a num-ber of opportunities for the strikers, but accuracy was an ongoing issue as shots consistently sailed wide or were scooped over the net. Striker Clinton Surina was the only Cougar to solve this quagmire and notched three goals with a season-opening hat trick.

However, the “TSN Turning Point” moment goes to Cougar keeper, Broden McLean whose div-

ing save (resembling the Dutch keeper, Tim Krul) early in the � rst half, main-tained the boys’ aggressive swagger right through the 90 minute match.

� e Nakusp Cougars managed to muster their � rst win of the season with an impressive 4-0 showing against Golden. Surina’s hat trick and a con� dent penal-ty shot from mid� elder Du-gan McInnes secured the match in the Cougar’s fa-vour. � e Senior boys team will be traveling to Cran-brook on October 17 and 18 to prepare for their zone quali� er on October 22.

On Wednesday, October 22 at 7:30 p.m, the Ar-row Lakes Arts Council is presenting Patrick Ser-vant, a.k.a. SERVANTES, at the Bonnington Arts Centre.

Having toured Spain and the Americas for over 15 years, guitar virtuoso, Patrick Servant, o� ers us a truly unique blend of latin-� amingo-jazz. A� er several years in di� erent musical projects, Servant was rechristened by his band members as SER-VANTES.

“Nuevo-� amenco-contemporary-jazz with funky-latin grooves” is a good way to describe Servantes’ music. His passionate performances feature his own compositions as well as improvi-sations and adaptations of well-known pieces.

� e Quartet is made up of Patrick Servant, gui-tar; Yves Lacoursiere, sax/� ute; Marc-Andre Dr-ouin, Bass; and Nicholas Fizzano, drums.

Tickets for this event are available at the Bon Marche/Dollar Store until 4 p.m. the day of the concert, and at the door. Doors open at 7 p.m..

Nakusp resident Glenn Koe-nig lost his wife in August after a tragic car accident on the Mona-shee Pass. Diane Koenig had lived in Nakusp since 2004 and had worked at Dogsense Bou-tique and most recently at Home Hardware, as well as offering bookkeeping services. Diane was an avid pet lover and is missed by her canine companions.

She was a loving wife and mother of three girls. Her fam-

ily originally wanted to place a bench along the waterfront walkway in her honor near the end of Third Avenue because the Koenig home is visible from this location. Widow Glenn would really like to see a picnic table instead, and has been in conver-sations with the Village about it.

“I was down there with our daughter the other day having lunch and there aren’t any tables to eat on that (the marina) end of the waterfront,” Glenn told the Arrow Lakes News.

He has been doing research on what the cost of a picnic ta-ble would be over a bench, and has considered things like the labour to install it and the con-crete pad to set it on. The folks at Home Hardware have offered to donate the supplies, and Koenig is waiting to see what the Village says about his idea.

For anyone wishing to lend support for the project, the Na-kusp CIBC is accepting dona-tions to the Branch #00670 Ac-count #7554796.
