Getting smart about the birds and the bees ER workers train in Nakusp

Teresa Weatherhead believes abuse prevention is a key aspect of sex education. CLAIRE PARADIS/ARROW LAKES NEWS By Claire Paradis Arrow Lakes News

Sex. That’s right; what you’re about to read is all about the “birds and bees,” or at least what it takes to teach our kids about it. Often a complex topic that many parents find difficult to broach and more kids find totally embarrassing to talk about with their moms and dads, sex can be a subject of intense curiosity and mystery. Teresa Weatherhead, the newly-minted official sex educator in Nakusp, has been bringing “Sex Talks” to schools in the area for years. Now that she has completed her training, she can help more kids get a good education about the facts of life. “Now I can teach to the prescribed learning outcomes,” she said, which means she can present information that teachers may not be comfortable with. The change also means she’ll be going to talk with elementary students too. “Sex education in elementary schools looks a lot different. We call it ‘Body Science’,” she explained. The program teaches kids the proper terminology for body parts and educates them so they aren’t targets for predators. “Abuse prevention is another reason we do sexual health education, it doesn’t matter what age,” said Weatherhead. Another part of the education is about developing positive body image, which starts in the early years too. Developing a positive body image is critical to a positive

self-image, said the sex educator, so time is spent discussing the changes that happen in puberty, letting the kids know that what is happening is normal and nothing to feel awkward about. No newbie to sexual health, Weatherhead has been involved with the Options for Sexual Clinic in Nakusp for 14 years, and she has seen big shifts in the community over those years. “Initially the most gratifying change was seeing young women take charge of their own sexual health,” said Weatherhead. “OPTtions for Sexual Health Clinic started in 1996, at which time the teen pregnancy rate in Nakusp was the highest per capita. Within two years of running, by 1998 the teen pregnancy had dropped to well below average.” The change has come about not in small part because of the people who staff the clinic. All the volunteers at the clinic are highly trained, said Weatherhead, with both a nurse and doctor available as well. The clinic runs two pap clinics per year, a real boon to women who might otherwise be waiting even longer if they wait until a female locum comes through town. At the clinic, confidentiality is paramount. “In all the years we’ve been running, we’ve never had a leak,” she said, who stressed that the high level of confidentiality at the clinic is what creates the environment that allows people to feel comfortable coming in and talking. Right now, she is keen on letting young people know about the HPV vaccine which works to protect against two of the more virulent strains of the virus. Weatherhead’s faith in young people is clear, and she sees them as being more educated, smarter and unprejudiced than older generations, thanks to increased access to information. “They’re educated and they’re smart, and they understand that becoming sexually active is a decision-making process,” she stated. Even so, the world is still very small here in Nakusp. “Population-wise we’re probably not the most diverse community,” she admitted, “[but] we definitely do have a queer community here.” One that more people are aware and accepting of, Weatherhead believes.

B.C. Southern Interior MP Alex Atamanenko added his voice today to the growing calls from his constituents demanding that the Conservative government reverse the cuts to the Community Access Program (CAP) that will affect rural and low-income Canadians. “CAP used to have more service locations than Canada’s favourite doughnut shop and has served around 25 million Canadians since it launched in 1994,” said Atamanenko. “The

MP Atamanenko opposes cuts to Community Access Program sense,” Atamanenko said. Statistics Canada’s own research shows that nearly half of all Canadians earning $30,000 a year or less have no access to the Internet in their homes. “That is why the CAP is so important,” Atamanenko added. “These cuts widen the digital divide and the disparity between rural and urban and well-todo and poor Canadians, and their opportunities to participate in our economy, our workforce and our communities.”

NSS theatre students rock out at tribute

Kylie Gardner and Ellen Weatherhead brought Don’t Come Home a Drinkin’ to life for the audience By Sarah Aspeslet and Claire Paradis

Special to the Arrow Lakes News

The high school musical theatre class at Nakusp Secondary School presented a lively performance of “The History of Rock” at the Bonnington Arts Centre on May 17. Headed by drama teacher Tessa Wiseman and music teacher Rick Haller with the help of Marilyn Massey on piano accompaniment, 17 NSS students in total performed, with Carter Stenseth acting as the M.C. With a combination of singing, dance and humorous skits all from the early days of rock ‘n’ roll, the students delighted and entertained the audience. Each student researched, arranged and choreographed all their own acts. This creative process

took roughly two months from start to finish, and all that work culminated in an amazing treat for both performers and spectators. Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Loretta Lynn as well as songs from Grease were on the swinging schedule for the night, with lots of favourites on the list. More than just music, there were also skits performed from Abbot and Costello and I Love Lucy as well as some swing dance. Mitch Zorn performed a stand out version of “Folsom Prison Blues,” playing his guitar and singing astonishingly like Johnny Cash. The Man in Black would have been proud. Kylie Gardner and Ellen Weatherhead tickled funny bones with their hilarious rendition of Loretta Lynn’s “Don’t Come Home a Drinkin’.”

Getting smart about the birds and the bees Con’t from page 1 “Even the term ‘queer’ is pretty new around here,” she said, and she laughed when I told her both my friend and myself were amazed that Nakusp had an entire week devoted to “Pride” only to discover it was used in a very different sense here. “Most non-straight people come out after they’ve left Nakusp,” she said, and “queer” is still seen as a derogatory term around here although Weatherhead believes non-straight sexuality is becoming better accepted, “I could be feeling optimistic about that,” she admitted, adding that traditionally people have been quiet about it. The lack of discussion hasn’t helped, she commented, but Weatherhead is finding now that people are talking, and wanting to talk about it. “That’s a good sign,” she reflected. What is taught in the classroom is that every person’s sexuality is unique, a message Weatherhead works to get across in a non-judgmental, empathic way. The broader education is about learning to accept that everyone’s values are unique, and learning to respect that while learning self-respect, she said. She aims to educate all ages so they are safe and smart when it comes to sex and themselves. “The main frame of it is to get

kids in touch with their gut feelings.” Stressing respect for different values, and emphasizing values do change over a lifetime. Education isn’t just for kids. Weatherhead was recently at the Seniors’ Fair with a table that had a number of books on the subject of sex in senior years. “There’s definitely sex after sixty,” she said. Parents can also benefit from their kids getting sex ed. in school, said Weatherhead, who has gotten feedback from parents that after a sex talk, discussion is more focused and easier for everyone. “Parents can have a hard time talking to their kids. It can cause great anxiety to a parent to have to know quite how to go about the task,” said Weatherhead. Kids who get education in school can go home with specific questions that can make The Talk a little easier to navigate. Does that mean parents should wait for kids to come with them? No, the sex educator said, who encourages parents to be proactive and to give their children more information than they might need. The response Weatherhead has received from both students and parents, who has even received thank yous from some grateful moms. See? That wasn’t as awkward as you thought it might be.

Prescription for health is: nature Historic renovations continue

David Suzuki Science Matters Do you want to be happier, healthier, and smarter? I have just the prescription for you: add a daily dose of nature to your routine. Over the past decade, researchers from fields as diverse as biology, psychiatry, engineering, horticulture, neuroscience, and medicine have realized what most of us know intuitively: nature is good for our health and wellbeing. These experts have discovered countless links between time spent outdoors and cognitive, physical, and emotional development. Studies show that enjoying a natural setting – like a park, beach, wetland, or forest – can reduce blood pressure, anxiety, and stress levels. Exposure to nature can help you sleep well and increase vigour and liveliness. It can even boost your immune system. In their new book Your Brain on Nature, naturopath Alan Logan and Harvard physician Eva Selhub cite dozens of studies that demonstrate the health benefits of the natural world. They even refer to outdoor physical activity as “exercise squared” because it can increase energy and fitness levels while reducing fatigue, depression, and obesity. Melissa Lem, a family doctor and

member of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, says exposure to nature is vitally important for kids. She suggests that time spent with flora and fauna is essential for healthy psychological and physical development in children. In a recent Docs Talk column she points to studies that show daily doses of “green time” can be used to prevent and treat conditions like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, hypertension, and diabetes. Ailments like myopia, asthma, and depression have also been linked to inadequate nature exposure. While this scientific body of evidence is fascinating and growing quickly, most of us remain unaware of the full range of health benefits that nature provides. And with more than 80 per cent of Canadians now living in urban settings, many of us lack a meaningful, regular connection with the natural environment that sustains us. Getting in touch with the outdoors has another great benefit: those who know and love nature work harder to protect it. This is why the David Suzuki Foundation is about to launch its first ever 30x30 Challenge. Starting June 1, we’re inviting Canadians to spend at least 30 minutes in nature each day for 30 days. By encouraging people to get a regular dose of fresh air we hope to help participants take advantage of the many health benefits nature has to offer. They might even make it part of their continuing daily practice. Join the 30x30 Challenge beginning June 1 and incorporate small natural diversions into your daily routine for a month. Add some green to your commute, lunch break, workout schedule, or playtime. And remember, a daily dose of nature is good for your head, heart, and health.

Editor, Do you wonder, like we do, why so many people are upset about the smart meter program? Why are 48 municipalities and cities, including Vancouver, asking the government for a moratorium on smart meters? Searching the internet and going to www. stopsmartmetersbc.ca we found that smart meters are not CSA/UL approved and that they are causing house fires. Even our toaster is UL approved. We found that the World Health Organization has put smart meters in a Class 2B cancer risk, along with DDT and that Drs. Hallberg and Oberfeld have said that at the rate of increase, 50 per cent of the population could be hyper-sensitive to electromagnetic radiation by 2017. That means headaches and migraines, heart irregularities, joint and muscle pain, memory difficulties, to name a few health symptoms. Daniel Hirsh, an expert on nuclear policy, has concluded that smart meter exposure is 100 times greater than that of a cell phone. Len Miller, retired fraud squad cop, warns against the invasion of privacy from smart meters. “You’re opening your front door and letting the

world in,” he says. He suggests you take an active part in resisting BC Hydro’s smart meter program. A number of places like Italy and Idaho have a wired smart meter program for a greatly reduced price and with none of the risks of wireless exposure and none of the meter-to-meter communications. The real kicker is that in no place where smart meters have been installed (places like Ontario, Australia, California) has the energy usage been reduced because people need to use their energy during the day, yet associated monthly bills have increased. Ask your council members to make Nakusp the 49th council to vote in a moratorium against smart meters. Putting up a no trespassing sign is not illegal. Lock up your analog meter.

BIRDS OF NAKUSP

www.arrowlakesnews.com

Watching the inscrutable flycatcher Annual General Meeting quite sparsely distributed. One other, the Alder Flycatcher, is rare here and are not seen every year. This brings the empid total to six species, six species that are almost indistinguishable to many people! So how do birders tell one empid from another? The best method is by their song. The word song is perhaps used a little loosely here; the sounds that these birds make would hardly be considered a “song” by most people. But in some cases, even the song is of limited use. The Hammond’s and the Dusky Flycatchers have songs that are so similar that even experienced birders can sometimes have difficulty separating them. Often habitat preference is enough to separate them: Hammond’s in the coniferous forests; Dusky in the drier, more open habitats. In our region Dusky Flycatchers only occur in regenerating clearcuts when a good deciduous layer has developed. However, in the Castlegar-Trail region, or in the Okanagan, where drier open country and coniferous habitats exist side by side, many birders find identification quite frustrating. Identification by song also has its limitations: birds only sing during the breeding season. Birds seen at other times of year are often silent, making identification extremely difficult. A few years ago I was birding

Gary Davidson Birds of Nakusp In the last couple of weeks, Hammond’s Flycatchers have returned to our region. Flycatchers are one of the most difficult groups of bird to learn, particularly those of the genus Empidonax. This group, known as the ‘empids’ by most birders, is conspicuously lacking in field marks and are all very similar in appearance. In the black and white photograph shown here, this bird could be any one of several species. All empids are a shade of olive-grey on the back with pale, sometimes faintly yellow, undersides. All have pale bars in the wings and most have a white ring around the eye, more conspicuous in some than others. The Hammond’s is a bird of the coniferous forest and is, therefore, the most common empid in our region. In damp places along streams and marshes the Willow Flycatcher is also quite regular. Pacific-slope Flycatcher, Dusky Flycatcher and Least Flycatcher also occur in our region but are

Identifying ﬂycatchers is a diﬃcult task for birders. PHOTO COURTESY OF GARY DAVIDSON

near the campsite at Box Lake and could hear a Hammond’s Flycatcher somewhere nearby. When I saw it, I was surprised to see it so close to the ground. This species typically feeds much higher in the trees. I noticed that the bird was repeatedly perching on the same branch and then almost immediately flying off. After observing this behaviour for a few minutes, I realised it was building a nest on that branch. Hammond’s Flycatcher nests are hard to find; I had never seen one before, and have not seen one since. A couple

of weeks later I returned and saw an adult bird sitting on the now completed nest. The nest was partially hidden by an overhanging branch and was very difficult to find, even though I knew it was there. As the name suggests, flycatchers are insect-eating birds. Most of their food is taken in the air. Typically they sit on an open perch where they wait for a meal to fly nearby. With a quick burst they dash out, seize the prey, and quickly return to a perch to eat it. Some species habitually return to the same perch each time. So, if you see a small drab bird behaving in this manner, you are probably watching a flycatcher. Turning to your field guide, however, in the hopes of identifying it, might lead to considerable frustration!

to the East Kootenay to instruct the good people there in the fine art of book making. To give participants an idea of what can be done, the pair brings a small, very portable library of handmade books they have collected over the years, some with illustrations and text, others still waiting to be filled. The duo’s visit in Nakusp was a bit more special than most because it was a combination workshop-campingbirthday stay in the Municipal campground with their families. The pair are back on the road taking their little library and skills to Cranbrook soon.

Relationship woes have slowed you down, Taurus. It could take a few days before you return to full speed. Delegate some of your responsibilities, if necessary. Gemini, you’re giving off so much creative energy that people may flock to your side for the next several days. This newfound celebrity could be an asset.

June 22– July 22

Cancer, there is no easy way around something you need to get done at work. Being scatterbrained this week may add to the pressure of getting things done.

July 23– August 22

Leo, you have to ask a lot of questions to get to the root of a problem that’s been bothering you. You have the personality to get to the answers easily.

August 23– September 22

Virgo, an unexpected partnership could arise this week. While it may be bumpy at the start, after a few days, the two of you will have worked out all of the kinks.

October 23– November 21

November 22– December 21

Scorpio, with so many creative ideas constantly whirling in your head, it can sometimes be difficult zeroing in on one. Luckily this week you will get things in order. Sagittarius, avoid passing judgement on someone else close to you. Listen to their problems and work with them to find a good solution.

There’s no use procrastinating on something that needs to get done this week, Capricorn. It will only prolong the amount of December 22– time you have to worry about it. January 19

January 20– February 18

Aquarius, patience and motivation is all you need to start tackling that to-do list. Finding a partner to help will make the work go twice as fast.

Pisces, others often look to you for inspiration. You will not disappoint this week when you offer some unique ideas. February 19– March 20

Up in the morning before the dawn Hauling logs all day long Tighten the chains and check the brakes Hasty decisions each driver must make. Up to the corner and down that steep hill You must get those logs out to the mill. It’s a dangerous job, you must watch the road Don’t miss a gear, it’s a heavy load, The concentration level is high His blood pressure soars and time seems to fly. Only a skillful driver can handle that truck With nerves of steel and a bit of good luck, At the end of each day he can go home and rest With a satisfied mind, for he knows he’s the best.

Making dining out just a little bit easier It is now easier than ever to make healthy choices when dining out with the recent launch of the Province of British Columbia’s Informed Dining program. Featuring more than 300 restaurant outlets in British Columbia, the program publishes nutritional information and allows diners to view the information in a format similar to that of a nutritional guide on products at the grocery store. All you have to do is look for the Informed Dining logo at participating restaurants. “British Columbians have made it clear they want information to help them make informed choices about what they and their families are eating,” says B.C. Minister of Health Mike de Jong. “With Informed Dining, we are partnering with B.C. restaurants to help make the healthy choice the easy choice.” Some of the participating restaurants include chains such as The Boathouse, De Dutch, A&W and Little Caesar’s, and stand-alone restaurants such as H.A.V.E. Cafe in Vancouver, Mountain Eagle Books in Smithers and Joseph’s Coffee House in Victoria. With people in British Columbia eating a meal in a restaurant approximately 10 per cent of the time, it’s never been more important to be able to source out healthy options. With the new program, calorie and sodium information is prominently highlighted for all regular menu items, while other nutrients, including carbohydrates and fat, are also noted.

Excess weight can increase the risk for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and various cancers, so caloriecounting is an important part of a healthy diet. Eating too much sodium contributes to high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease and kidney disease, making sodium another important piece of the healthy eating puzzle. “Healthy eating is a critical element in living a long and healthy life and avoiding cardiovascular disease,” says Gavin Arthur, vice-president of research and health promotion for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. “The Informed Dining program takes a positive step forward in providing people with information they can use in making informed choices while dining out.” The program is voluntary, but the provincial government is

encouraging every restaurant to join the initiative and make such information available. “We want to be part of the solution in making healthy choices, easy choices in B.C.,” says Vice-President of the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association Mark von Schellwitz. “This program has the potential to help restaurant patrons become more conscious about what they are eating – it also shines a light on those establishments already providing menu nutrition content while encouraging other restaurants to follow suit.” The provincial government has been working on this program since 2010, and has given restaurants several options for disclosing nutrition information, including a menu insert, a poster or a brochure. “I am proud that we have about 300 outlets across the province signed up to participate in this important program,” says Ian Tostenson, CEO and president of the B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association. “I know that other business will continue to learn more about Informed Dining and sign up – this information is what our customers have been telling us they want, and it is our responsibility to provide it.” The initiative is part of the Healthy Families BC campaign, created by the Province to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent chronic disease.
