A� er meeting with the committee involved in trying to get the rail trail o� highway 23 turned into a multi-use use trail, the Village of Nakusp council has decided to keep the site as a walking trail.

� e biggest issue in the council’s decision was safety.� ere are blind corners and echo spots. Sta� from the vil-

lage o� ce were out checking the trail, and a motor vehicle came along. � ey did eventually see it, but because of noise

from the highway, they couldn’t hear it.“We’ve had a lot of people coming in since this has become

public, and letting us know that they’ve almost been hit by a bike, or by a quad,” said Karen Hamling, mayor of Nakusp. “Several people have come in, or phoned, and said they’ve almost hit a bike or a quad coming o� the trail and crossing the highway. � ey’re not slowing down, they’re just whipping across.”

Another issue, which has come up is the trail isn’t wide enough to have both pedestrian and motor vehicle tra� c on it at the same time. In some places, it’s just wide enough for

an ATV.Mayor Hamling has spoken to the mayor in Castlegar,

where they have a multi-use trail. However, their trail is re-ally wide, and hits the standard and it can be divided, half for walking, the other half for motorized vehicles.

“We’ve been looking into that and we’ve found for B.C. that there isn’t any, we haven’t been able to � nd any regula-tions pertaining to the width of a path,” said Susan Smith, a member of the committee trying to make the trail multi-use. “We’re still looking into that, we’re doing more research.”

Multi-use trail is a no-go

The Nakusp Recy-cling Depot will soon be relocated.

On Oct. 19, the de-pot, currently located at the Nakusp Recreation Centre, will be moved to the Nakusp Landfill.

The Village of Na-kusp requested the change because the cur-rent depot is near a wa-ter supply, and there are concerns about possible water contamination.

It is estimated that approximately $200,000

will be saved annually as the Regional District makes changes to the recycling program.

The sub-central re-gion, which spans north of Marblehead to south of Salmo, will see new front load bins at RDCK recycling depots. The rest of the RDCK ad-opted the front load col-lection model in 2011 to great success.

The front load bins will increase collection efficiency. Recyclable materials are compact-ed en-route, with mul-tiple sites being serviced

on a single route.“RDCK directors

and staff continue the process of upgrading our resource recovery infrastructure,” said Tom Newell, chair of the Central Resource Recovery committee. “This revitalized recy-cling program, being safer, more efficient and at a reduced cost to our tax payers, is one more huge step forward.”

Those living in the sub-central region will no longer have to climb stairs to deposit recycla-bles. Materials collected

will remain the same, and all material, includ-ing cardboard, will be commingled in a single stream.

Following the chang-es, blue bags will no longer be required at RDCK curbside ser-vices.

Changes made do not impact curbside service as these recycling pro-grams are not an RDCK service and the public should seek informa-tion from their provid-ers, or by contacting the Recycling Council of British Columbia.

Nakusp does have curbside collection for recyclables. Resi-dents outside of village boundaries who do not receive curbside service will be able to deposit their recyclables at the same time and location they dispose of their garbage.

The recycling depot will be open during the same hours of operation as the landfill.

The Nakusp Landfill is located at 1420 Hot Springs Road, and the hours of operation are Mondays from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and Wednes-days and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The village would like to thank the public for their patience dur-ing the transition.

Nakusp Recycling Centre to be relocatedStarting next month, the recycling centre

will be at a new location

If you were to visit Nakusp’s public library this weekend, you might have noticed there was something a little different about the place.

In one part of the library, an exhibit had been set up detailing the events that led up to the sign-ing of the Columbia River Treaty in 1961.

The exhibit featured a variety of information, from a timeline of the events leading up to the treaty and the construction of dams, a list of wildlife that inhab-its the Columbia and Kootenay Rivers, to the controversies sur-rounding the treaty itself.

“I think it’s very showy, and it’s trying to tell the truth, I sup-

pose,” said Sharon Montgomery, curator of the Nakusp and Dis-trict Museum.

“I was caught by the picto-graphs here that were destroyed, and that’s just across from Bur-ton, she said

“They were having a meeting in Nakusp about what to do with them, and meanwhile they were blasting them out on the high-way. We have copies of them in the museum, so you can still see them.”

The exhibit didn’t try to shy away from, or hide any of the controversy that surrounded the treaty.

B.C. law required a licence for water works, which involved a public hearing process. Hearings for the CRT dams were held be-tween September and October of 1961, about six months after the

treaty had been signed.Because the design of the

damns was already entrenched in an international treaty, any discussion of the treaty and its merits were out of order.

While it featured gains from the treaty, such as co-operative river operations, flood control for urban and agricultural areas, and relatively inexpensive elec-tricity, it also made sure to show the losses that arose from the treaty. Things like losing mature bottom land forests for sustain-able logging, a water transporta-tion network, as well as numer-ous habitat losses for fish and other wildlife.

“I thought it was really well done,” said librarian Susan Rog-ers. “It was very informative, and captured the pros and cons of both sides.”

Board members from Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) came to Nakusp on Sept. 18 for its annual general meeting.

Part of the reason for the meeting was to show the results of a year-long consultation process talk-ing to people in various communities along the Co-lumbia Basin.

From those consultations, the Trust narrowed a list of 13 strategic priorities to be implemented be-tween 2016-2020.

These priorities include things like affordable housing, agriculture, early childhood education/childhood development, recreational and physical activity, and renewable and alternative energy.

Something the Trust has already helped Nakusp with was funding the new building for the Arrow Lakes Historical Society (ALHS).

“We needed seed money to start, and through the CBT, they came up with $100,000 immediately to start off the funding for the new building,” said Ken Williams, treasurer of the Arrow Lakes His-torical Society.

“The building is approximately a half-a-million dollar building. They ended up funding, over two to three years, about $200,000 of that. The rest was raised from the community or other donations,” he said.

About 50 people attended the meeting, one of the largest turnouts for the Trust.

“We had a great turnout,” said Neil Muth, Presi-dent and CEO of CBT. “This is a very well attended annual general meeting. There were lots of ques-tions on a wide variety of interests, which I think it’s really reflective of the interests that residents of

Nakusp have in the CBT.”Toward the end of the meeting, there was a ques-

tion period. Anyone with comments or concerns was free to speak their mind.

“I thought their responses were very thoughtful and to the point,” said Kathy Smith, a Nakusp resi-dent who attended the general meeting.

“It was nice because there were several people there who could respond to the question. Maybe the person that was asked the question, he could redirect the question to somebody else who had the full story. I thought that it was kind of well-rounded that way.

“There was some very positive comments, and comments of concern that I think they addressed with how they plan on moving forward into the fu-ture.

“I thought it was quite well managed.” After the meeting, everyone was invited to attend

a barbeque. It was originally supposed to be at the gazebo in the park, but was moved into the curling rink because of rain.

People of all ages were in attendance. Almost ev-ery table at the curling rink was full.

Along with burgers and salads, there were two cakes to help celebrate the Trust’s 20 years in opera-tion. Prizes were drawn as well.

“Every time the Trust does something in Na-kusp, we seem to have a larger per capita turnout than other places,” said Laurie Page, a member of the Trust’s Board of Directors.

It’s something Trust Chair Greg Deck has no-ticed as well.

“I think this is the largest turnout, period, of any AGM I’ve been at in 20 years, he said.

“You guys rock it. It’s a credit to your community and I think there’s a bunch of people from Burton as well, and we are impressed and pleased.”

After being given a list of communities that have a multi-use trail, council did its research and due diligence. One commu-nity, Greenwood, does not have a multi-use trail within its bound-aries. Another community, Elk-ford, allows motor vehicles on specific trails, but they are only to be used to get in and out of town. In the District of Tumbler Ridge, there are ATV designated areas only, but only on the out-side boundaries of the district and crown land.

In this area, there seems to a bit of miscommunication some-where along the line. When asked about the council’s finding, Smith was perplexed.

“I don’t know who the village people have talked to. Only one (on the list) has come back with anything different than what we

have read,” she said.Noise is another factor that

was taken into consideration. Several houses are only about five to ten feet away from the trail, and have complained to councillors about noise on the trail.

“Several of the residents that live right on the trail, they’ve said that the noise has just been hor-rendous, that they can’t sit out on their decks, and they can’t sleep at night,” said Hamling.

At least 276 people have signed a petition to make the trail multi-use.

“Since we handed it in on Sept. 8, I’ve had a lot of people coming to me and saying ‘Are you doing another petition? We didn’t have a chance to sign that petition,’” said Smith. “There’s going to be way more than the 276 people who were in favour of a shared use trail.”

Hamling said it’s not the amount of people who have signed the petition. Council has to consider the liability, safety, and well being of the community as a whole.

She said it’s obvious the com-mittee is passionate about its re-quest, and while council will not change the trail to one for mul-tiple uses, it will support the ef-forts of the committee to find a location for a new trail.

Smith says that this will not be the last time this issue is brought up.

“Just because council has vot-ed against, that doesn’t mean it’s a done deal. People of the village have elected this council, and they’re representing them, and the council has to understand what the people want, and the people will go after what they want. It’s not finished,” Smith concluded.

CBT celebrates 20 years at AGM

Part two of the local history of the Sinixt people as presented by Sharon Montgomery of the Nakusp Museum, a Sinixt advocate and Associate Member.

Vallican is located on the other side of the Slocan River from Winlaw. On the riverbank is a very old Sinixt settlement and burial ground that carbon dates back to more than 5000 years of occupation.

It has been declared a BC Heritage Site to protect the burial grounds, sacred ceremoni-al and village sites. Skeletons that are found in the wild or in museums are returned to

the Sinixt for reinternment at Vallican. More than 60 bodies have so far been reburied there.

It was customary in past years on � anks-giving Sunday each fall, for the Sinixt to open their lands to the public when they held a potluck thanksgiving luncheon featuring traditional native foods including turkey, salmon, camas root, blueberries and some-times oolican. Also there was an awesome range of salads, buns and desserts brought along by participants. It was noted that it was wonderful to see the local community com-ing together to support the Sinixt people.

� e Sturgeon-Nose Canoe is another Si-nixt trademark, designed to mimic our local sturgeon with fore and a� � at on the water in order to navigate rough waters, which we know can blow up quickly on the Arrow Lakes. � e only other place a Sturgeon-Nose Canoe was found was in Siberia., a very in-teresting link!

On the Amur River, early fur-traders to this valley were amazed at the stability and extra covered cargo

area it allowed. � e Sinixt became known to the fur traders as the best beaver hunters they’d known. When the canoe was not in use, it was loaded with heavy rocks and sunk down into the water. When it was needed again, they would take out the rocks and up it would pop, supple and ready to go.

� e canoe is made of white pine bark — all in one piece! � ere was one in the National Museum in Ottawa, however it recently dis-integrated. � ere is a 21 year old exact rep-lica of a Sturgeon-Nose Canoe in the Nakusp Museum, made in 1976 by Nakusp High School students.

Around the year 1700 AD, the Paci� c Rim (is recorded) to have su� ered several tremendous Tsunamis, wiping out 99 per cent of the Coastal Native People. Soon af-terwards, people began to migrate from the

Interior Plateau to the coast. So — people from this area began waves of western mi-gration. � e Coastal Salish People have only recent archaeological evidence of occupa-tion, approximately 300 years. � ere were small pockets of original coastal tribes, how-ever the Salish people were dominant and absorbed these Tsunami survivors into their Salish culture. � e Coastal Salish developed a shorter, stouter silhouette than their taller Interior Salish ancestors—so that means the entire southern portion of BC Salish and to the mouth of the Columbia River, originated here in our valley. How profound is that!

Next week’s column focuses on the fas-cinating historical period dating from 1770 until more recent times. � is will be the � nal in the three part series. Note that the Muse-um closes for the winter season on Sept. 19, however o� -season group tours can still be arranged by contacting Sharon at 250-265-2120.

With the chill in the air, snow sprinkled mountain tops, and the changing of leaves brings a certain aroma to the air; it’s one of my sea-sonal favourites because to me, it smells of mushrooms.

With the drought that we faced this summer, I was quite concerned on how our fungi friends would fare this fall, but a little hike off the beaten path proved that all seems well.

Now I am no mushroom expert, and to say that I’ve learned the hard way, defi-nitely has some truth to it. I don’t feel I need to tell you my

“Mom’s most delicious Mush-room Soup EVER” story, but the main thing with mush-rooming is that you’ve really got to know what you’re do-ing.

Each year many people still poison themselves acciden-tally by confusing dangerous species with edible ones, so it’s best to take care and stick to what you know. If in doubt, it’s a good idea to join a local fungi foray in your area run by an expert.

My favourite mushroom to forage for at this time of year is the delectable chanterelle.

They seem to be fairly easy to identify and obtain in these parts of the woods, taste de-licious, and is of course very nutritious and medicinal.

Of all mushrooms, chante-relle have the highest known concentrations of B vitamins, especially vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B5. In fact, the only foods that contain higher B content are liver and yeast. These mushrooms also pos-sess powerful anti-inflamma-tory properties, anti-cancer compounds, anti-oxidants, as well as having the ability to significantly strengthen the

immune system. This wonder food contains an extensive list of nutrients that have unlim-ited benefits, many of which are yet to be discovered.

During this time of year there seems to be so much food growing in abundance that we may feel overwhelmed trying to preserve it all for the winter months, but you know that all your hard work will pay off.

So I wish you farewell val-ley friends, on your foraging foray of these fine fungi, and may your frugal feast be fabu-lous.

September 25, 1925 T. Gayford passed away

quietly at his home in Burton on Sunday morning. He had attained the great age of 84.

Mr. and Mrs. B.T. Mc-Monagle have started a “White Lunch” in Nakusp on Broadway, opposite to the home of B. Parkinson.

The funeral for Mrs. High Matatall (better known as Girlie Rollins), who passed away at the Rossland Hos-pital after a lingering illness, was held September 17 at the Edgewood Cemetery. She was 17- years old.

September 26, 1935 Thomas Abriel, a pioneer

of the Arrow Lakes district and a 40 year resident of Na-kusp, died suddenly at his home on Friday. He had been laid up with a broken ankle

but was otherwise in apparent good health. He was a busi-nessman in Nakusp, a justice of the peace, notary public and was active in many ways in the community. He was 68.

September 27, 1945Another old landmark of

Nakusp was erased last week. It was one of the early water-front business blocks used re-cently by the Big Bend Lum-ber Co. Only the centre of the three buildings now remain. It had recently been repaired and made into a refrigeration plant.

September 23, 1965Approximately 50 invited

guests attended the B.C. Tele-phone Co. dinner in Nakusp to mark the opening of dial telephone service for the Ar-row Lakes area. Guests were invited on a tour of the new

office with an explanation of how the new system works.

Dennis Moorehouse has been appointed the new man-ager of the Nakusp Overwait-ea store. He was previously a manager at the Overwaitea store in Nanaimo. His wife and three children have tak-en up residence in the Dave Johnson house just above the railway.

Members of the Edge-wood Inonoaklin Women’s Institute and their husbands gathered at the Legion Hall for a banquet to honour their only living charter member, Mr.s L.J. deGans and Mr. de-Gans, prior to their departure for Rossland where they will make their home.

September 24, 1975Funeral services were held

Friday for Charles F. Wanstall

who died suddenly in Van-couver at the age of 64. He had resided in Nakusp since 1942 and was active in the Masonic Lodge.

Mrs. Hisami Kondo, a long time resident of the Slocan Valley, died in New Denver Hospital September 15 at the age of 84.

September 25, 1985The Nakusp and District

Chamber of Commerce pre-sented a marketing plan bud-get to the Village of Nakusp on Monday. The plan calls for the Chamber to take over the promotion of the Village and Hot Springs, industrial devel-opment promotion and other functions on a fees for service basis. The Chamber said there is a lot of duplication of effort and expenses with the present marketing efforts.

Fans and owners of vintage motorbikes vis-ited Nakusp this week-end in celebration of MotoGiro.

The two-day event, promoted by the Rocky Mountain Section of

the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group, fea-tured a four leg, 300 km endurance run on Sat-urday through Nakusp, New Denver, and Nel-son, and a closed-road event on Sunday, where

contestants raced up the hill leading to the Na-kusp Hot Springs.

“It’s really attracting people every year,” said Jim Wylie. “It started off five years ago with three or four people, and now we’re up to about thirty. Thirty bikes with prob-ably another ten or twenty volunteers. It’s

becoming quite popu-lar.”

The original Moto-Giro was an endurance race that took place in Italy, called Giro Moto-ciclistico d’Italia.

There are some rules to follow in order to take part. The bike can’t be newer than 1974. En-gines are to be correct

as to year and model of bike. Also, a safety in-spection is to be done on a point-by-point basis upon registra-tion. Anything found like overly worn chains, cracked tires, leaking fuel, etc. will have to be fixed to ensure the bike is made safe before the rider can participate.

Points are awarded for timing, the age of the motorcycle, and its origins. Italian bikes get the most points, Ameri-can bikes get none.

The event brought out many different styles of bikes, from a 1949 Triumph, to a classic Vespa, to a 1959 Ducatti 200 Elite, a collector racing bike, which, at the time of its release, would have been the fastest bike in its class in the world.

“These are small, but they actually require a lot of skill to ride,” said Dave Marshall, organiz-er of the event. “If you make any kind of mis-take like pick a wrong gear, or enter or exit a corner improperly, you slow down so much and because they’re not re-ally powerful, it takes a long time to catch up.”

Even though they look and sound like they go at top speeds, most of these bikes can barely break the speed limit.

“That’s the beauty of this. We’re all rid-ing on very small bikes, and even though they sound crazy, we’re only doing maybe 80 mph,” said participant Art Vausburgh. “We kind of resurrect these old bikes and make them go fast again and our actual top speed isn’t all that high so it feels like you’re doing lots of stuff but you’re still actually fairly safe.”

Ninety-eighth in a series on West Kootenay/Boundary place names

We’ve seen over the last few weeks that while some people believed Kaslo honoured a placer min-er named John Kasleau, the prevailing theory has always been that the name was derived from a First Nations word — although whether it was Ktunaxa or Sinixt isn’t well established.

“Kaslo and Slocan are Indian names and are be-stowed in honor of ancient families of the Koote-nays. � ey are proper names and have no interpre-tation,” claimed the Kaslo Claim of May 12, 1893.

In a letter to the chief geographer at Ottawa, published in � e Kootenaian on Aug. 31, 1905, J.W. Cockle wrote: “� e name Kaslo according to the ev-idence of an old Kootenay Indian named Sebastian who claims that his grandfather told him the names of stopping camps on Kootenay Lake is derived from the word Cassoloe, a blackberry. � e a� x –a to this denotes a place where blackberries grow, this when modi� ed by use results in the word Ah-Kas-loe by which name the place was known to the In-dians — Kaslo, the place where blackberries grow.”

Sarah Helena Nash Keen, in a 1925 letter to the Dept. of Mines said she was surprised to hear the John Kasleau explanation, � rst proposed by David Kane in 1905, “as I was under the impression the name Kaslo was Indian and meant ‘plenty berries’ or ‘many berries.’”

According to Dorothy Kennedy and Randy Bouchard in First Nations Ethnography & Ethno-history in BC’s Lower Kootenay/Columbia Hydro-power Region: “It should be noted that the plant species referred to was likely not blackberry but black hawthorn (Crataegus douglasii), the Kutenai term for which is transcribed as kala in a Kuten-ai ethnobotanical study — presumably Cassoloe was Mr. Cockle’s attempted transcription of kala. � e fact that the name for Kaslo is written as qa-slu on a [1995] map of Kutenai territory and place names suggests that this place name is indeed de-rived from the word kala (‘black hawthorn’).”

According to the Ktunaxa Language Program, the traditional name for the site is ?aqastu, pro-nounced a-kas-thoo.

However, James Teit recorded an Okanagan-Colville name for a place on Trout Lake, kali’so, which fellow anthropologist Verne Ray elicited as sia’uks qa-li’su. Could this be the origin of Kaslo? Journalist Lance Whittaker suggested as much in the Nelson Daily News of April 16, 1947.

Kennedy and Bouchard don’t say if they con-sidered the possibility, but wrote: “� e portion of Ray’s transcription that is written as sia’uks is rec-ognizable to us as the pre� x which we transcribe as i7a7ks and which means ‘place of ’ in the Okana-gan-Colville language. We do not know what Okan-agan-Colville term Teit and Ray were transcribing, however, even though Ray provided the translation ‘where the water � ows outward.’”

While Teit only said kali’so was an old village on Trout Lake, Ray’s translation and identi� cation of its location indicates it was what we now call Ger-rard.

Another puzzling thing: in a 1933 Spokane radio broadcast, David Kane claimed Kaslo was original-ly called Kane’s Landing a� er himself and brother George, and it has been commonly accepted since.

While it’s entirely plausible, the only contem-porary reference to Kane’s Landing indicates oth-erwise. According to the Nakusp Ledge of Aug. 9, 1894: “� ere is no truth in the rumor that Kaslo would have its name changed to Kane’s Landing.”

� ere was no explanation of what precipitated that remark. Whatever the circumstances, might Kane have misremembered them more than 40 years later? Something similar happened with Pilot Bay, but that story will wait until later in this series.

Kaslo, the place where blackberries grow

Kane’s Landing was the name of a whole foods store in Kaslo in the 1970s as well as an antique store in the 2000s, but may not have been the original name of the community, despite a commonly accepted belief.

More than half a million British Columbians face signi� -cant challenges because of lim-ited literacy skills, whether it’s an inability to read the newspa-per, or a lack of understanding of important � nancial or health documents.

Literacy skills are vital to all British Columbians because they are a necessary part of ev-eryday life and impact every-thing from healthcare to em-ployment and economic status. Literacy is no longer just the ability to read or write, but en-compasses a much wider scope of daily activities - including using technology, doing calcu-lations, communicating verbal-ly and in writing, and problem-solving.

� is month, Black Press, Kootenay Savings Credit Union and the Columbia Basin Alli-ance for Literacy (CBAL) are joining forces to raise funds and awareness about the im-portance of literacy with the 5th Annual Reach a Reader campaign. � e campaign will culminate with community leaders and volunteers hitting the streets across the Colum-bia Basin and Boundary to dis-tribute special editions of local

papers and collect donations in support of community-based literacy programs.

� e Reach a Reader cam-paign coincides with Decoda Literacy Solutions’ Literacy is Life Campaign; a province-wide fundraising and awareness campaign designed to put a hu-man face on literacy and shed light on how low literacy a� ects children and adults, Aboriginal and immigrant communities, those in the workforce, and the economy as a whole.

CBAL’s Executive Direc-tor, Ali Wassing, says “Literacy skills are essential for a vibrant BC economy, so addressing limited levels bene� ts everyone. We would encourage anyone who is a� ected by literacy issues to tap into the many resources and literacy programs available in their community.”

To � nd out more about lit-eracy in the Arrow Lakes re-gion, contact Lisa Bjarnason at [email protected] or go to cbal.org.

Literacy Matters for the Economy• A one per cent increase in literacy levels would raise Canada’s produc-tivity by 2.5 per cent, or an estimated $32 billion boost to our annual GDP. Literacy Matters for Health• � irty per cent of those with high literacy say they have excellent health, compared to 19 per cent of those with low literacy.• Researchers estimate that three to � ve per cent of total health care costs are due to limited understand-ing about health information. � is translates into $680 million each year in B.C.Literacy Matters for Seniors• Literacy skills may decline with age due to health problems and lack of use. Over 70 per cent of seniors have low literacy.• Seniors with low literacy may have problems � lling out pension forms or understanding medical information.

Literacy Matters for Immigration• By 2030, immigration is expected to provide 100 per cent of new labour force growth. • 60 per cent of immigrants with a � rst language other than English have literacy levels below a high-school graduate. • Over one quarter of B.C.’s popula-tion was born outside of Canada.

Literacy Matters for AboriginalPeople• Aboriginal students make up 10 per cent or more of the school popula-tion in many school districts.• School completion rates for Ab-original people remain below 50 per cent, compared with 79 per cent for the general student population.Literacy Matters for Families• Reading to children before they start school helps develop their lan-guage skills and their interest in read-ing and learning in general.• � e children of parents with higher education levels have higher literacy levels, and much of the bene� t comes with high school graduation.Literacy Matters for Children and Youth• In B.C., one in four children is “developmentally vulnerable” when beginning kindergarten and one stu-dent in � ve is not completing high school in the expected time.• Almost four in 10 youths aged 15 have insu� cient reading skills. • In 2008, 20 per cent of Canadian teenagers aged 15 to 19 were no lon-ger pursuing a formal education. • � e Canadian government will spend more than $2,500 on employ-ment insurance and $4,000 on social assistance annually for each high school dropout, for a total annual cost of 2.4 billion dollars.
