Since 1923

Roy “Rocky” Beattie, 90 — long time Nakusp resident — passed away on October 10 in the Ar-row Lakes Hospital due to com-plications from pneumonia. Many have used the term gentleman to describe this con� rmed bachelor, who was known for his light-heart-ed demeanor and warm smile.

Crossley and Sandi Coates were good friends of Beattie, who was

very modest. Sandi said in an in-terview with the paper, “He was the kindest gentleman, and very humble. Rocky could never un-derstand why people bothered with him.” For example, someone who might be bringing him food, ”He was happy to accept it but would be ba� ed that people re-ally cared that much about him.”

Born in February 1924 in Ban� , Alberta, Rocky joined the Cal-gary branch of the RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force) serving in

Air Armament overseas during WWII. A� er his discharge in 1946, Beattie spent the next 33 years in Banff and Milk River, Alberta, serving in the Legion there. Because of his love of cars, he also started the “Le-gion Taxi,” a taxi service in Banff which is still in operation.

He eventually turned to carpen-try, building houses in Ban� , Can-more, Milk River and eventually two in Nakusp a� er relocating to B.C. in 1979. He continued work-

ing as a carpenter until retirement.Rocky made a lot of friends

doing his morning co� ee run to the K2 Rotor Lodge, and was fre-quently in great spirits. Restaurant Manager Gillian Heagy remem-bers Beattie fondly, “He had a nickname for all of us. I think it helped him remember our names. Mine was Jack and Jill, and he called the morning sta� Bright Eyes or Sunshine, which they loved. He was quite the charmer.”

RDCK backs alternative recycling programThe Regional Dis-

trict of Central Koo-tenay (RDCK) says it supports having a choice in paper and packaging recycling after hearing a pitch from a potential com-petitor to industry stewardship group Multi-Material BC.

Neil Hastie, de-velopment director for StewardChoice Enterprises, spoke to the board Thursday by phone. The com-pany, a subsidiary of Toronto-based Re-clay StewardEdge, has managed recycling

programs in Ontario, Manitoba, and Ger-many.

“We are at a cross-roads in B.C. when it comes to recycling packaging and print-ed paper,” Hastie said. “There will either be the continuation of a monopoly or choices for local governments and other important stakeholders.”

The company is seeking approval from the Ministry of Environment to offer its own program and promises to fill gaps left by Multi-Materi-al BC by signing up hold-out producers.

Mu l t i - M a t e r i a l

BC, which launched its program in May to meet a provincial mandate that firms pay the cost of re-cycling their own packaging, hasn’t yet been able to offer ser-vice to rural areas of the regional district. However, it is paying for curbside pick-up in Nelson, Castlegar, Kaslo and Nakusp.

The regional dis-trict board initially refused to sign a contract with Multi-Material BC, saying it would not cover all the costs, but later changed its mind, worried that not sign-ing up could result in a drastically re-duced depot system. However, it was told it would have to wait until 2015.

The regional dis-trict opted to keep the status quo and con-tinue offering recy-cling services at a cost of over $900,000 it otherwise would have saved.

Hastie said Steward Choice’s approach is “to work closely with communities and re-cycling providers to allow service to con-tinue the way it cur-rently operates. What service residents are receiving should be continued without disruption.”

Asked how the company could af-ford to do that, Hastie

replied that it would be more efficient and have lower overhead than Multi-Material BC.

The company re-ceived plaudits from several directors, in-cluding chair John Kettle who called Multi-Material BC “a disaster for the most part for rural areas.”

“Right now we have no other options,” he said. “Competition gives us opportuni-ties. We may end up with a program that works and still lets us cut taxation.”

Rural Kaslo direc-tor Andy Shadrack called Multi-Material BC “dictatorial” and their fencing and staffing requirements on rural depots “ab-solute bullshit.”

“They say they want to take us on, but it’s still on their terms. We would have to reduce recycling depots and I don’t want to do that. Stew-ardChoice says if we want to keep running the program, that’s fine.”

Other directors were skeptical, in-cluding rural Nelson rep Ron Mickel, who said, “It sounded too good to be true. They still need producers signing up so I’m a little leery.”

Although some producers have signed letters of in-

tent to join Steward-Choice’s program, the company expects approval of its plan to take up to a year.

Hastie said it would require political pres-sure on Environment Minister Mary Po-lak to speed things up. The board agreed to urge her to allow competition in the field.

Meanwhile, the re-gional district contin-ues to talk to Multi-Material BC about getting away from strict site require-ments.

E n v i r o n m e n t a l services manager Uli Wolf said while they have also spoken to StewardChoice, he expects it could be anywhere from four months to a year and a half before the com-pany can make com-mitments.

“We need to be re-alistic in our expecta-tions from Steward-Choice,” he said. “It will be very difficult to get into that market and offer a ‘we cover everything’ service.”

Rural Nelson direc-tor Ramona Faust also

asked why industry doesn’t just reimburse the regional district for the service it’s al-ready providing. “Let us do what we do and offset the taxes,” she said. “It’s simplistic, however it’s probably the best model for us.”

Last month the board met with a Ministry of Environ-ment manager and sent the message that it wants to be at the top of the waiting list for Multi Material BC services.

NDP vote new federal candidate in SOWK

The New Democrats of South Okanagan-West Koo-tenay (SOWK) have voted in their federal candidate.

After a weekend vote, local members of the NDP voted for Richard “Dick” Cannings to run on behalf of the party for the 2015 federal election.

The Penticton native is an avid birder, author, environ-mentalist and biologist with experience in government and says he will do his best to represent the SOWK elec-toral district.

“I look forward to taking the campaign throughout the riding in the months to come,” he said. “I’m humbled to be nominated and excited to be part of Tom Mulcair’s team, offering Canadians a real alternative to the Harper Conservatives in the 2015 election.”

If he is elected by voters in the SOWK riding, Cannings will replace four-term NDP Member of Parliament Alex Atamanenko.

Thomas Mulcair, federal NDP leader, says Cannings is the right choice for the job.

“A brilliant mind, Dick’s commitment to his commu-nity and the environment are indisputable,” he said in a release issued after the

vote. “Alex is leaving some big shoes to fill, but there is no question the people in this riding will be extremely well served by Dick Cannings.”

Party members gathered in Grand Forks on Saturday to cast their ballots after hearing a final campaign pitch from both Cannings and his oppo-nent, Margaret Maximenko. Voters who were unable to be at the meeting were given the opportunity to to vote by mail, or online.

Real-life Grinch steals children’s dirtbikes

Sometime between dinner on Saturday and early Sunday morning, one or more individuals quietly helped themselves to four motorized kids’ vehicles from their grandparents’ home in the neighbour-hood of Glenbank. The keys were not in the ignitions, yet the vehicles were all removed from the premises and are still missing.

On October 19 Na-kusp RCMP received a report of the stolen dirt bikes. They are described as follows:

2002 Honda 50 CC (red and white, front forks are twisted)

2004 KTM SX 65 CC (orange with de-cals that said “shirt-less”)

Early 90s Yamaha DRZ 80 (homemade pink custom plastic panels with fox stick-ers)

2004 Polaris kids quad (green) front bumper missing.

The vehicles pro-vided four of the

Lindgrens’ grandchil-dren (ages 7 to 11) with endless hours of fun at their grandpar-ents’ acreage, where they were used often and as recently as the previous week-end. Mother of two of the victims, Rosa-lyn Lindgren spoke to the Arrow Lakes News, “We’re really sad for the kids — the fact that some-one could do that to children.”

Despite the fact that the items were older, the loss is huge. Lindgren estimates the replacement value for used equipment in the neighbourhood of $5500 and new to be more like $12,000.

“We are hardwork-ing people. It’s not easy to replace such a huge loss,” she added.

When her boys were told about the theft, they were heart-broken but Mom says they are handling it as well as can be ex-pected.

If anyone has in-formation in regards to the thefts they are asked to contact the Nakusp RCMP.

Richard Canning is running for the NDP in the 2015 federal election.

It’s the Columbia River’s fifty year treaty anniversaryFifty years ago on September 16, Canada

and the United States signed the Columbia River Treaty — the agreement that outlines the development and operation of four dams designed for power generation and flood control between the two countries.

Signed by Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker and U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower in 1961, the treaty went into ef-fect on Sept. 16, 1964, after funding for the dams was calculated and negotiations were complete.

While flood control was already on the mind of both governments, the treaty was deemed necessary by both countries after the 1948 flood that left a path of destruction from Trail to Astoria, Oregon, washing away infrastructure. It took a few years of research and writing reports and proposals to get a final draft ready to be signed.

Gord DeRosa, chairman of the Canadian Columbia River Forum and board member of the Columbia Basin Trust, says the agree-ment was historic and to this day, is a treaty that should be held as an example.

“The treaty itself is probably one the best international treaties,” he said. “It is used as

a model (elsewhere) and it has served both nations extremely well.”

The signing of the treaty provided flood protection for the Trail and Castlegar ar-eas and led to the creation of the Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) as a way to address the financial and sociological impact of floods and relocations. Nearly 2,500 people were relocated to build the dams and large tracts of fertile land were lost during construction.

Three Canadian dams — Duncan, Mica and Keenleyside — were built between 1964 and 1973 as a direct result of the treaty as well as one in Libby, Montana. Canada was paid a lump sum at the signing of the treaty to cover the annual flood control benefits in the U.S. and receives half of the potential power generation financial benefits. The first 30 years of the treaty payments were covered in a lump sum payment of $264 million in 1964, with annual payments starting in 1998.

The original agreement gave the U.S. nearly 20 square kilometres of water storage space behind three separate dams.

Once they were built, the benefits were shared between the two countries, both fi-nancially and in terms of flood protection.

Part of the original treaty stated that the agreement would be held in place for a min-

imum of 60 years. If either Canada or the United States want to change or terminate the treaty, they have to give written notice, 10 years in advance. Tuesday is the first day that is possible. Some amendments are al-ready being discussed after numerous con-ferences and public input sessions.

When the treaty was signed, says DeRo-sa, the environment wasn’t an issue, but over the last few years, both sides have gathered public opinions and published formal re-views on the issue and the resounding an-swer has been to update the document re-garding wildlife and environmental impact.

“When you think about these ecosys-tems, it doesn’t stop at the 49th parallel,” said DeRosa. “Back then, there was no sensitiv-ity to ecosystems. The only things addressed were flood control and power generation. It has done that, but now we have to have a third leg to the story — the ecosystems.”

One environmental issue that stands out for DeRosa is the lack of salmon in the Up-per Columbia River.

“Hopefully, (negotiators) can see the benefit of returning the salmon to the Up-per Columbia River,” he said. “The salmon were stopped by a dam in 1939 to 1942, but now is the time to start throwing the salm-on back in. I am really optimistic that, and

maybe not in my time, we will see salmon back in the Upper Columbia.”

Over the last couple of years, the United States side of the treaty, made up of the Bonneville Power Authority and the U.S. Corps of Engineers, has expressed its belief that it has been paying Canada too large of an annual entitlement. Currently, the pay-ments to Canada have averaged around $250 million per year. DeRosa thinks their ideas are a bit off base.

“Fifty per cent of the power generated as a result of the water Canada sends to the U.S. comes back by way of energy,” he said. “We can sell it for almost $350 million per year; water is pretty valuable stuff. I heard first hand at a convention that the top officials down there (in the U.S.) that they expect to be paying 10 per cent of what they are paying now. It is okay for them to say that, but you have to think, what is flood control worth to the U.S.?”

Regardless of financial debate, DeRosa says he is optimistic about the future of the treaty.

“I think that both sides will realize that we have to make the best of what we have and at the end of the day, all will be well,” he said. “I would expect the treaty to carry on and just make improvements as we go along.”

EditorialInterior Health

Authority� ere are going to be some residents who

question why the Interior Health Authori-ty is putting resources into Ebola response. How can the disease that’s infecting and killing thousands in western Africa show up in B.C.?

However, consider that there have been con� rmed cases in Texas, while there have been several individuals across Canada tested for Ebola-like symptoms.

We live in a world that is increasingly small, with local residents travelling well beyond our valley for employment, rec-reation and humanitarian e� orts. As an example, a school district in the North Okanagan-Shuswap area recently agreed to students going to China instead of the original destination, Ghana, which has been impacted by Ebola.

It’s entirely reasonable to think that someone from here may be in western Af-rica or another destination, such as Texas, where Ebola is present.

As a result, IHA has to be prepared for someone with Ebola-like symptoms to walk into a hospital.

What will the initial response be from medical personnel? Where will the patient be quarantined from everyone else? What resources will be needed in an Interior community to ensure the patient is treated properly and su� cient steps are taken to prevent the possible spread if Ebola is di-agnosed?

� e B.C. Nurses Union has raised alarm bells about the health authority’s ability to handle a case of Ebola and, as health care professionals, nurses provide a wealth of expertise. But everyone at the table — doctors, nurses, technicians, etc. — need to work co-operatively instead of � nger-pointing or pursuing individual mandates.

Obviously we hope Ebola does not arrive in our area, but if it does, all of us, residents and medical personnel, need to ensure we are prepared.

When the rose hips are red, and the leaves are yellow and brown, it is time to harvest these nutritional darlings, as the health bene� ts will not let you down. I know many people that su� er from the pain and sti� ness of chronic osteoarthri-tis, especially at this time of year. Studies suggest you may � nd some comfort from using rose hips to treat the symptoms. � is fruit contains 25 times more vita-min C than oranges, and can help ease and reduce symptoms of osteoarthirstis, and help sore, achy joints function bet-ter. � ey are also an excellent source of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, and K. Rose hip has long been used as an ingredient for herbal tea and is sometimes enjoyed in syrups, jellies and even wine. � is dark red fruit is certainly no stranger to the world of alternative medicine and could be described as a nutritional superstar with its high iron and vitamin content. It has an antioxidant potential even greater than that of blueberries. It’s also a good source of � avonoids, the phytonutrients that have received so much attention for their bene� cial health properties.

Harvesting rose hips is very straightforward. � ey are perfect for picking a� er they have been touched by the � rst fall frost, when they are the sweetest. � ey should always be re-moved from the stem of the rose plant, and the hips should be � rm with a little give in texture and bright red or orange in color. If any of the hips on the plant are shriveled or are not the right color, do not collect them; they will not go to waste, as they will provide a great treat for the birds, rabbits, squirrels, and deer in the area. � e color of rose hips var-ies, but in general, orange hips are not quite ripe, and deep red hips are over-ripe. Overripe hips are sweet, but have lost much of their vitamin C.

I usually dry a whole bunch to use in tea, and to make jellies and syrups over the winter months, but this year I’m also going to try something a little di� erent. � e following recipe was given to me by a good friend of mine and is one of his favorites. Hope you enjoy!

If you have any recipes you would like to share, or would like to give me feed-

back on recipes I have supplied, please feel free to email them to me at [email protected]. Happy fall forag-ing, valley friends!

Commemoration of 100th anniversary of WWI

2014 marks the 100th anniversary of World War I which broke out on June 28, 1914. It lasted for nearly � ve years, ending on No-vember 11, 1918.

Although record keeping varied from one country to another and not everyone can agree on exactly how many people perished or went missing during this time, the commonly ac-cepted � gure for casualties totals approximately 37 million with 21 million of those dead. Some of these men were from the Koote-nays.

� e Arrow Lakes His-torical Society o� ers an opportunity to learn more about their stories. On Fri-day, October 24 at 7 p.m. it will present a WWI slide show featuring photos from the era and the region’s con-tributions to the Great War. All are invited to attend the show. � e Archives are housed in the new addi-tion to the Nakusp Public Library building accessed on the side of the building

Council meeting highlights� e Nakusp City

Council met on Tues-day October 14, one day a� er the � anks-giving holiday Mon-day.

Motogiro repre-sentative Dave Mar-shall presented Coun-cil with the report that the event held in September involv-ing timed old-time motorcycle races on the Hot Springs Road and his association’s intention to have the event become an an-nual one, occuring each September. Dis-cussions will be on-going.

� e Council heard updates from the Village CAO Linda Tynan regarding the status of outstanding actions on Council Resolutions includ-ing the unsightly property located be-

hind the Esso and speed control along both Broadway and 8 Ave.

Mayor Karen Hamling, Councillor Guy Duchaine and Councillor Ulli Muel-ler each gave a verbal report concerning their experiences of the UBCM (Union of British Columbia Municipalities) con-ference held from September 22-26 in Whistler.

Mayor Hamling spoke about the May-or’s Caucus, policing and mental health, community forests and carbon o� sets, more hospital beds, the ferry and use of the backup ferry, and Nakusp’s recycling program.

Councillor Du-chaine lauded the experience of attend-

ing the UBCM and shared his experi-ences. His sessions included rural busi-ness development funding and another on proposed changes to the way in which paramedics and other medical services are used in rural areas.

Councillor Muel-ler gave her report concerning changes to recycling and pos-sible relocation of the recycling depot to the land� ll site, up-coming events with the Nakusp and Area Development Board, the search for a suit-able site for the Re-naissance Faire, the Mushroom Festival's was great success, the Arrow Lakes Grape Growers seeking funding assistance and her participation in the Communi-

ties in Bloom judges visit which happened in the middle of July. While Nakusp ranked high with ur-ban forest, � oral dis-plays, beautifully kept residential yards and strong heritage, it was noted that signage on the entrances to town is poor and none of the public garbages provided recycling compartments for drink containers. Mueller also attend-ed the UBCM and brought back news about changes to B.C. building codes vs. � re department response times, green energy and a WorkBC trade show installation she would like to see brought to Nakusp Secondary School en-titled “Find Your Fit.” where students can try some of the skills

needed for future ca-reers.

C o u n c i l l o r Zeleznik submitted his report in writing mainly concerning NACFOR and cut-ting permit develop-ment in Summit Lake and Galena. Many residents of Summit Lake are concerned that any logging in the area will destroy toad populations. NACFOR is working with Fish and Wild-life Compensation Program biologists to fund and research the impact that logging in the area would have on the toads.

Council voted on cash dividend dis-bursements to vari-ous non-pro� ts in the area including the Rotary Club, the Legion, the Ski Club, Trails Society and

others. Discussion ensued about future disbursements and changes to the grant application process.

Council touched on Bergevin Electi-cal’s ongoing inves-tigation of the pos-sible development of a small hydropower project on Gardner Creek as well as to de-cide on a request for possible expansion of the Nakusp airport hangar.

Councillor Hughes took the opportunity to address growing public concerns about

logging activities in Summit Lake based on mounting pres-sure from the general public. Mayor Ham-ling refused to give a public response until more information is known about the matter. Both Coun-cillors Mueller and Duchaine disagreed, arguing that NAC-FOR is a separate entity and should be “allowed to do their job” without interfer-ence from their only shareholder and sole owner, the Village of Nakusp.

� e Nakusp Pee Wee House Falcons played host to Grandforks 1 in their � rst league game of the sea-son. Family and friends � lled the stands and � ocked to the concession for their � rst rink burger of the year.

� e two small teams hit the ice at 5 p.m. and the � rst period saw both teams evenly matched. Part way through the second period the visiting team took over and scored 7 unanswered goals. Fal-cons tried to battle back in the third period, getting numerous shots on net only to have the posts being rung and the large goalie blocking shots. Highlight of the night was the large 50-50 ticket being claimed by a Falcons parent.

� e Falcons travelled on Sunday back to Grandforks for a rematch. � e Falcons again were out played by the host team. Nakusp set up many nice plays and managed to get some shots on net, but could not � nd the back of the net. Fi-nal score was 11-0.

Falcons travel to Beaver Valley next weekend and have their next home game on Saturday, No-vember 1 at 11:45 a.m. vs. Grandforks 2.

Seniors’ Column

As most of us are already aware, seniors as well as in-dividuals of all age catego-ries are not entirely immune to being subjected to food-borne illness.

For this reason, anyone who prepares, serves or cleans up food intended for public consumption — in-cluding items intended and made available for sale or otherwise by volunteers and non-profit organizations as well as commercial op-erations — should be aware that under the law, certifica-tion with Foodsafe is man-

datory. Foodsafe is B.C.’s food

safety, handling and sani-tation course designed to equip foodservice work-ers and volunteers with the knowledge and skills nec-essary to apply proper food handling and preparation techniques. The overall pur-pose is to ensure that appro-priate safety measures are applied in order to prevent food-borne illness.

A broadened certification delivery system designed for rural and remote loca-tion residents such as those within the Nakusp region, is now available. The Food-safe Level 1 correspondence and self-study version of the course has been implement-ed. Register, study at home, take the exam locally and no online content or classroom participation is required.

The Foodsafe level 1 training course covers im-portant food as well as worker safety information and include such topics as prevention of foodborne illness, the proper receiving and storing of food, how to safely prepare and serve food as well as the proper cleaning and sanitizing techniques to be applied.

This is a one-day session and takes approximately eight hours to complete. For further details includ-ing fees relevant to becom-ing certified through corre-spondence, please call (604) 633-9787 ext 232. The web-site address is www.go2hr.ca.

Advance regularly sched-uled classroom training courses for certification are also available. Contact Sel-kirk College for details.

SportsA grand start and end to the Jr. Cougars’ soccer season

It was a weird sea-son for the junior boys soccer team; the fallout from the pro-longed strike resulted in the cancellation of two mainstay tourna-ments: Creston and our home tournament in Nakusp. These im-portant tournaments act as cornerstones of the Cougars’ soccer season. The ensuing chaos created a diffi-cult environment for the coaches at Nakusp Secondary School who struggled along with the rest of the province to salvage any sort of a season for the boys.

Thanks to the ef-forts of veteran coach Rod Morrison who managed to wrangle together a few teams from around the Koo-

tenays and Okanagon, the Jr.’s had an oppor-tunity to travel out of town and don their cleats for a play day in Grand Forks.

On October 16 the boys piled into the bus on a cold rainy morn-ing and headed south to play their first and last group of games for the year.

The rain didn’t let up as the team arrived at the school field to square off against the familiar blue and gold Creston squad. The rainy conditions com-bined with the “off the bus” nerves caused the Cougars to scramble at the start of the match, resulting in some poor decisions and a greasy goal that slipped through keeper Ben Gardner’s hands.

Once the body and the team accli-

matized to the taxing conditions, the grind-ing efforts of Nakusp opened up the field and created opportu-nities for the Cougars to apply the lessons and skills learned dur-ing practice.

The contest slowly tipped from a defen-sive game to a con-tinuous offensive drive as the forward attack-ers pressed through the blue and gold wall. Cool and tenacious ef-forts from the Cougar midfield provided the key into the offensive’s 18 yard box as the ball found passing lanes along the touch lines into the Creston zone. Several times Brayden Reardon’s true grit mox-ie and skill managed to muscle the ball up the sides and into the danger zone to create cookie opportunities.

The Cougars never let up the pressure even when Creston unloaded a skilled shot from 40 yards outside the net placing the ball deftly in the top right corner.

“Nothing you can do about that,” coach Mor-rison said. “That was a hell of a shot.”

The 0-2 loss, nor the onslaught of rain and wind, didn’t deter the boys as our bench was simply turned around for the immediate next match on the adjacent field against Boundary Central. Compared to the smaller, quick passing unit from Creston, the Boundary kids in blue and white looked like giants on the pitch. But bend-ing up at the neck, the Cougars did not shy away from meeting the challenge of their sizable opponents and pitched their faith in Morrison’s game plan.

Undaunted, the Cougars put shoulder to shoulder and battled hard for possession in the boiling pot around the middle of the field and managed to stand their own in the scrums. However, an unlucky bounce over the head of keeper Alex Roberts seemingly fa-vored size over guts as the Cougars fell to an early deficit of 0-1. The strikers rotated, and the game was far from

over as the Jr. Cougars refused to let up or be intimidated by the blue monsters. Con-nor Scambler embod-ied Cougar tenacity as he raced headlong into the o-zone. His contin-ued pressure eventually yielded results as Scam-bler won the ball deep in the Boundary zone and a quick turn and pass to the centre found an unattended Tim Barisoff who squarely pocketed the first goal for Nakusp. Energized, the boys’ creativity and hustle uncovered a mul-titude of offensive lanes to the net, but a combi-nation of bad luck and youthful exuberance did not yield any more results. The game was left at a tie.

Next up were the hosts at Grand Forks, and the Cougars were primed and ready to play. The jitters were gone, the first goal was under their belt and even the rain let up a little for the duration of the final match. Eric Vieira started things off on the right foot af-ter an impressive feed from Reardon in the first two minutes of the game which allowed for an uninhibited shot on goal that sailed over the keeper and into the net. Vieira continued to dominate the offensive line as the skilled play of the halfbacks contin-ued to feed the cookie machine with chances. Seemingly inspired by the flurry of chances, the Cougars found their stride and opened up a number of opportuni-ties for goals from all sides of the net. Before the whistle signaled the end of the first half the Cougars were reward-ed with another goal from a blistering kick from Kiernan Troute, which jammed the ball through the keepers hands an into the net.

The good times con-tinued to roll in the second half as big saves from keeper Ben Gard-ner propped up the spirit of the team and an impressive game-end-ing goal delivered from left field to the top right corner of the net by Brody Herridge ended the day with a positive 3-0 win for the Cou-gars.

Birds of Nakusp: Steller’s JayAnyone with a bird feeder

will have noticed Steller’s Jays in their yard. And even if you don’t have a feeder these large dark blue birds are fairly easy to see. Many people incorrect-ly refer to them as Blue Jays. But true Blue Jays are a much paler blue and have exten-sive white in their plumage. They are generally restricted to the east side of the Rock-ies, although their numbers have been increasing in B.C. in recent years. In contrast, Steller’s Jays are found almost exclusively west of the Rocky Mountains.

Jays are members of the same family as the crows and ravens, and therefore have some of the same behaviours. While many people are aware that crows and ravens will rob other birds’ nests of their eggs and young, most do not realize that jays practise this same bad habit! All mem-bers of the family are known as omnivorous feeders, that is, they will eat a wide variety of foods including both plant and animal items. At feeders, jays are often seen shoveling seeds into their beaks as fast as they can. It would seem they are picking up more seeds than their mouths can possibly hold. And they are! A special pouch, called a

crop, in their throat enables them to pick up and trans-port large amounts of food. If you watch a jay after it has been at your feeder, you may observe it hiding all that seed somewhere else. Later in the winter, when food normally becomes harder to find, they will dig up their reserves!

Steller’s Jays are usually found in association with co-niferous trees. 85 per cent of all known nests in British Co-lumbia are in such trees. Most nests are built in smaller coni-

fers, and located close to the top of the tree, on a branch near the trunk. Almost 70 per cent of the nests are situated between 2 and 5 metres above the ground. Steller’s Jays begin nesting quite early in the year; nests with eggs have been found in early April.

One rather interesting skill possessed by this species is its ability to mimic other birds. We generally just hear a lot of loud raucous sounds coming from jays, but on occasions they will break into a series of

complex and varied phrases, made up of sounds copied from other species. At times, their imitations are good enough to fool unsuspecting birders!

In 1987 the Steller’s Jay was declared the official provin-cial bird of British Columbia. The declaration came follow-ing a province wide vote to select a bird in which 80,000 residents cast a vote. Perhaps the voters weren’t aware of this bird’s nest robbing ten-dencies!

Metis program offers support group for parentsA newly formed

society in the West Kootenay and Boundary region calls upon a tradi-tional approach to healing that uses the mind, body and spirit.

Bev Gillard, a member of the Ochapowace First Nation in Saskatch-ewan, is now a lo-cal Aboriginal Elder who draws from her life experience when she sits in with the

Metis Tradition-al Parenting and Personal Healing group that convenes Thursdays in Trail.

She opens each meeting, or healing circle, with smudg-ing — a cleans-ing ritual that uses smoke from tradi-tional sacred medi-cines such as cedar, sage and sweetgrass to purify or cleanse negative energy, feelings or thoughts from a place or a person.

Following prayer, the gathering opens

when a symbolic ob-ject, such as a talk-ing stick, is given to a group member who wishes to speak. It is then passed around the circle in sequence to others who wish to speak.

“We are here to support each other,” said Gillard. “It is heartfelt stuff that can be something painful with the shedding of tears, or it can be happi-ness and we laugh. But the circle is not a hierarchy. Nobody is better than any-

one and we all listen and respond to each other for support and help.”

The support group is one of four programs offered through the Circle of Indigenous Nations Society (C.O.I.N.S.), which is an Aborigi-nal non-profit reg-istered in 2013. The society is guided by an Elders Advisory Council (board of directors) made up of seven elders liv-ing in the region. The board includes Trail’s Faye Poiri-

er as chair; Joanie Holmes of Grand Forks, vice chair; Castlegar’s Gerry Rempel, secretary; Ganishka Silverfox-Dann from Nakusp, directors; Laurin Ha c k m an - G e or g e and Bev Gillard of Castlegar; and Nel-son’s Duncan Grady.

Alongside the Metis Parenting group that runs in Nelson on Wednes-days, C.O.I.N.S. of-fers an Aboriginal Mental Health and Addictions program called “Healing our Spirits,” in Trail, Castlegar, Nakusp, Grand Forks and Nelson; an Aborigi-nal Family Services Development Pro-gram; and an Ab-original Early Years Program.

“When I came here I tried to get involved in the First Nation community as much as I could,” said Gillard. “Sit-ting on the board as an elder is an honour,” she add-ed. “But at my age, I still go through things, so being part of the healing circle to listen and be supported is also

for myself.”The Metis Parent-

ing program is open to any parent or caregiver of a child of Aboriginal an-cestry, and incorpo-rates traditional cer-emony, drumming and medicine wheel teachings.

Talking circle dis-cussions include the effects of coloniza-tion, reclamation

of cultural identity, traditional ways, self care and child devel-opment from an Ab-original perspective.

Each gathering draws lessons from the traditional med-icine wheel, which symbolizes the in-terconnection of all life, cycles of nature and how life repre-sents a circular jour-ney.

The Nakusp Youth Centre (NYC) and Kootenay Par-kour and Development are hosting a Zombie Survival Haunted House event open to everyone in the commu-nity. There will be tests of skill, rewards, frights and fun, all geared towards sur-viving a Zombie Apoca-lypse!

On October 31 from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Nakusp Youth Centre, the Haunted House will be open to visitors look-ing for a Halloween celebra-tion to attend. This is both an anniversary celebration and a fundraiser for youth

programming at the centre, and for parkour programs. The entrance fee is $5 for every group of 4 or $1.50 per person. The event is open to all community members.

When the NYC started out, it was on a three month trial basis. After one year, it continues to provide a safe and engaging environment for youth to socialize and involve themselves in the community. With the funds collected, both host busi-nesses will be able to pro-vide better equipment, and more and better programs to our local youth.

Cassia Parent, the NYC coordinator, said, “This is about youth engaging in community and in their youth centre activities.” In keeping with that senti-ment, instead of throwing a party for the youth, the cen-tre has decided to actively involve them in the plan-ning and execution of the event. Come in and see what potential our youth have for the future.

To learn more, visit www.facebook.com/Nakuspan-dAreaYouth or contact Cas-sia Parent at (250) 265-2000 or [email protected].

Glendevon,Graham Landing

Seventy-second in an alphabetical se-ries on West Koote-nay/Boundary place names.

Glendevon was a community on the west side of Upper Arrow Lake south of Nakusp, between Birds Landing and West Demars, origi-nally known as For-est Glen.

According to Kate Johnson’s Pioneer Days of Nakusp and Arrow Lakes, its name was inspired by pioneer Rob-ert Glendenning (1847-1907). An-other theory has it that Agnes Menzies (1878-1942) named Forest Glen after a place in Scotland about 1923-24.

Forest Glen school opened in 1929, but when the post of-fice moved there from West Demars, it used the name Glendevon because there was already a Forest Glen post of-fice in Nova Scotia.

The Arrow Lakes News of March 12, 1931 announced: “A new post office will be opened up at For-est Glen … under the name of Glendevon … With the opening … the name Forest

Glen will be a thing of the past.” The post office closed in 1942, along with the school, which was still named Forest Glen.

GRAHAM LAND-ING

This settlement in the Columbia River Narrows opposite and a little north of Burton was named for Alexander James Graham (1867-1943), who had a farm and small saw-mill there.

According to Mil-ton Parent in Port of Nakusp, Graham moved there with his wife Margaret and daughter Lillian late in 1903. Gra-ham Creek was also named after them.

Lillian is absent from the 1911 cen-sus, but by that time another daughter, Beatrice, had been born. Graham Land-ing then boasted a population of 42.

The post office opened on June 1 that year with Gra-ham as postmaster. He held the job until 1943, when Beatrice took over. The office closed in 1949.

What remained of the community by the 1960s was a ca-sualty of the Keen-leyside dam.

CommunityRoy “Rocky” Beattie of Nakusp passed away on October 10

• Continued from page 1

Having no children of his own, his niece Sandy Beattie is in Na-kusp this week to take care of his affairs and was kind enough to

loan the Arrow Lakes News the photos for this story. She knew Rocky as Uncle Roy and recount-ed how he was even frugal as a child in Banff. This is evidenced by the story of him and his broth-

ers hitching along with adult skiers going to Sunshine so they could also enjoy the slopes, sleep-ing on the coal pile under the kitchen at the lodge to stay warm at night.

Throughout his life where Be-attie went, the fun followed. His niece says that back in Canmore days he could often be found at festive dinners “with my brother and several of his friends, the girls

doing the cooking of course.” In recent years, Beattie had a regular route he followed for afternoon cocktails with friends on good days, and will be sadly missed by all of those who knew him.
