The Columbia river spans 2,000 km, extends into seven U.S. states and has a drainage basin about the size of France. It is the fourth largest river by volume in North America. And, according to Wikipedia, the Columbia River system contributes a third of the United States’ total hydroelectric potential.

While the Columbia River originates in B.C. at Columbia Lake and the Columbia River wetlands and, depending on the source, 20-40 per cent of the water flows from Canada, only about 15 per cent of the Columbia River basin is actually located here in Canada. The remaining 85 per cent of the basin is located in the northwestern U.S., eventually See CRT page 5

Locals deprived of tools, car, and snowmobile by thieves Claire paradis Arrow Lakes News

Early in the morning of Dec. 2, a car was stolen from Hills as well as $800 worth of hand tools. The car was found shortly thereafter, complete with driver

Quick council meeting wraps up loose ends, prepares for future Claire paradis Arrow Lakes News

It was all over in the space of minutes. Mayor Karen Hamling called the November 26 Nakusp council meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. and all business was dealt with by 6:48 p.m. So fast that you would have missed it if you were 20 minutes late. Cleaning up loose ends The business was mostly rubber stamping matters detailed in the previous meeting on November 13 or discussing upcoming matters. In this in-between meeting, Mayor Karen Hamling mentioned that news about the status of the Village’s application to the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund hadn’t arrived; the deadline for the decision was Nov. 19. Hamling said she was told that

the application would be automatically resubmitted for the next round of funding if they didn’t make the cut this time. Unsightly premises process Coun. Ulli Mueller brought up the subject of “unsightly premises,” saying she had received complaints about a certain property and wanted to know what the protocol for dealing with them was. In the CAO’s report to council, it was noted that two “unsightly premises” are being monitored. The CAO, who is currently on vacation was not at this meeting, and will be away for the next one as well, the mayor told council. “There are several letters that have to be sent,” outlined the mayor. The first letter alerts the property owner that there have been complaints and that they need to clean up.

A specific amount of time is given, but if the owner does not comply, a couple more letters are sent. “And then the last one tells them we will be sending our staff in to clean up,” said Hamling. The cost of the clean up is charged to the property owner as part of their tax bill. Getting a move on the sewer project The shift of money for the internal borrowing to get the sewer treatment plant done was approved, the details of which were addressed at the November 13 meeting. Future schedule Looking ahead, council considered a tentative schedule for next year’s meetings which would continue the every-second-Monday night tradition – Tuesdays when a holiday intervenes. The only date of contention

was September 23 which is the Monday after UBCM, an “almost impossible” date in counc. Mueller’s words because councillor, mayor and CAO are all at the conference. Dates will be discussed further at the next meeting. Minor Hockey beer garden good to go Nakusp Minor Hockey’s application to hold a beer garden on Dec. 7 in the Arena was approved. MP Wilks to meet with council The council will be meeting MP David Wilks during the afternoon of December 19. Snow mobile sold to ski hill The sale of the 1993 340cc Bombardier snowmobile to the ski hill was next on the agenda. Counc. Joseph Hughes asked what the process is for selling Village assets. CFO Rob Richards replied that typically equip-

ment is put up for sale through a public bid offer process, with an upset price – the estimated value for used equipment. Because the ski hill made a specific request, it seemed reasonable to sell it to them for the upset price. Counc. Mueller asked if the Village could donate it to the ski hill, as they were always short on funds. The mayor answered no, but she knew RDCK director Paul Peterson would support their funding request. The motion passed to sell the snow mobile to the ski hill. CRT meeting coming up Mayor Hamling asked councillors to come to the Columbia River Treaty meeting on Thursday, November 29 if they could, stating there will likely be answers to some good questions about water levels and more. Financial Open House kudos

Counc. Mueller complimented staff about the Financial Open House, and Hamling echoed the sentiment, saying that there will likely be more people at the next one, because this one was so well attended and well done.

MP impressed by Council of Canadians Editor, Late in October I had the privilege of attending the Council of Canadians (COC) AGM and Conference in Nanaimo. It gave me the opportunity to meet and reconnect with Canadians from across the country, all of whom are deeply concerned about our future as a sovereign nation. I have followed very closely as the COC, together with other social justice groups, continue to expose the flaws of the proposed so called “Free Trade” agreement with Europe (CETA). I can only marvel at the energy of Maude Barlow and others as they tirelessly call upon Canadians to take action. It is not difficult for me to identify with the goals of this grass roots organization since I have always been, first and foremost, a Canadian nationalist. I firmly believe that values and needs of our own citizens must come first in the types of foreign investment we allow, the trade agreements we negotiate and in the international objectives we choose to support. Canada used to have a fairly balanced approach when aligning corporate interests with the rights of workers and the need for effective social programs. This balance started to shift to the corporate sector with Prime Minister Brian Mulroney in the 1980s and the signing of

the Free Trade agreement with the U.S. Prior to this, successive federal governments, both Conservative and Liberal were able to focus to a greater degree, often under pressure from the NDP, on the strong social policies that were being demanded by the Canadian public. Medicare, Employment Insurance and pensions are examples of this courageous social commitment. One of the highlights for me at the conference was attending a plenary panel entitled, “Uniting Against Austerity: Strengthening Solidarity in the Movement for Economic Justice” which examined the impact on pensions, social programs, trade unions, immigrants, deregulation, privatization and cuts to public service jobs as Harper and other governments around the world forge ahead with harsh austerity measures and deep corporate tax cuts. I was encouraged to hear of the growing resistance among the public to these measures. Panelist Robert Chernomas, Professor of Economics, University of Manitoba, equated such government actions with class warfare and mentioned how the super-rich in the world are evading taxes to the tune of $21 trillion dollars. He pointed out how Corporations in Canada are sitting on cash reserves of approximately $525 billion which, interestingly, is the same amount as

our national debt. Chernomas also discussed the ‘high tax – high spend’ policies of Nordic countries which can boast the lowest national debt, the most competitive economies, a highly trained labour force, the strongest unions and the highest per capita income in the world. His presentation reminded me of the film I have provided several screenings of throughout the riding entitled, “Poor No More.” Throughout the film Canadian TV icon Mary Walsh, narrates comparisons between the quality of life in Canada, Ireland and Sweden. We saw how Sweden has free university tuition, 400+ days of maternity/paternity leave per child, strong health care, national child care and effective state-run care for seniors. We learned about the strong partnership that has been developed between labour, corporations and government which has made all this possible. Clearly, political choices were made in that country for a strong social net for all its citizens rather than regressive tax breaks for the corporate sector and “slash and burn” austerity measures for everyone else.

draining into the Pacific Ocean at Portland, Oregon. The river crosses the border into the U.S. about 1,200 km inland from the Pacific Ocean. In total the Columbia river basin covers three degrees of latitude and nine degrees of longitude. It’s big! BC Hydro in Canada controls or stores the water that helps maximize power generation in the U.S. In return we are paid 50 per cent of the increased potential power that can be generated as a result of our water storage actions. Now 50 years later, the Columbia River basin well under our control, 12 years before the agreement ends and less than two years before a decision must be made, it is time to consider our options. Thus far the consultation process has shown that local residents are curious, often well-informed, and interested to be part of the process. Kathy Eichenberger even noted at the beginning of the meeting that the team was anxious about their visit to Nakusp “we were a little nervous because people here are very knowledgeable.” She also noted their purpose here in town was to “ask for your advice on what you would like to see as the future of the treaty.” And “we’re looking at choices here.” Most local concerns presented at the meeting were

what one would expect, everything from future uncertainties about how the world will change to the distribution of benefits for our area. For example: How will water levels be affected with global climate change? Why doesn’t our area get more money from the CBT? Other concerns were raised about educating the next generation of local negotiators. People were concerned about recreation, transportation and the mythically promised in 1965 fixed link was brought up numerous times, as well as how the Americans are conducting this process and dealing with their local residents concerns. Kathy Eichenberger, her team and representatives presented some basic information, above, regarding the Treaty and an overview of the benefits and impacts. Their report on the impacts and benefits of the treaty for our area can be found on the website noted above. Benefits included jobs at the dams, payments for our water storage services, the reservoirs to use as recreational lakes, and low carbon energy generation for almost half of the province. While impacts include all of the environmental and biophysical consequences as well as the social impacts of how the local residents were treated in order to fulfil the requirements of the treaty, loss of

agricultural land, loss of archeological sites and the lost tax base for land that is now under water. Following the presentation of the benefits and impacts of the treaty two analysts from BC Hydro presented their model for electricity generating and financial impacts. For example the model could provide an estimate of the lost energy generating capacity if BC Hydro chose to keep the Arrow Lakes at a particular water level throughout the summer season. Keeping the water levels stable at one level could only be done if Canada opted out of the Columbia River Treaty, but if B.C. chooses to opt out of the agreement, we forgo the yearly hundred million dollar payments. The issues surrounding the Columbia River Treaty are complex and intricate. There is no easy decision but now may be best opportunity to resolve old grievances as well as to plan for the future. As Kathy noted several times by saying “the government is paying attention now “ and “the door has been opened a crack, take advantage of it,” this is our opportunity to have our voice heard. If you would like to be heard on this matter attend the next session expected in the spring 2013 or post your comments on the appropriate blog on the government Columbia River Treaty Review website.

The profits from harvesting are held by the organization and will be distributed to the local communities once reserve levels have been met. It is anticipated that NACFOR will begin to distribute funds to the community in 2013. The Board of Directors meets on a monthly basis and is responsible for the overall management and policy direction of NACFOR and its forestry and community operations. Committees, including the youth, waste management, innovative strategies and fire management committees, will meet on an as needed basis and will advise the Board of Directors regarding policy and operational issues in each of these areas. These are all volunteer positions and no remuneration is provided outside of expenses related to the activities of the organization. All Board positions must be approved by the Village of Nakusp. If you are interested in becoming involved in a dynamic, community orientated organization, send us your letter of interest or resume to info@nakuspcommunityforest.com.

Thank you to everyone from Burton, Fauquier, Needles and Edgewood who came out to the potluck and jam on Friday, November 23 to support community access sites in Edgewood and Fauquier. Good music and food were shared by all while enjoying a historical photo display from Frank Appleton.

Need Help Using a Computer?

Thank you to Alan Devlin

The world of technology is moving quickly, and it can be hard to keep up. If you still find using computers and the internet confusing but necessary, we can help! Drop in at The Edge during open hours for a one-on-one training session in whatever you need help with, including using email, Facebook, Google, job searching, photo editing and uploading, and other basic computer functions. This service is free, but donations to help keep the community access site running are always appreciated. If there is enough interest we can run

The Edge would like to recognise his many years of service in keeping the CBC radio broadcast active. His commitment to keeping CBC in the air has been one of those services that when it’s not functioning everyone is missing it. It has been so steady and long lasting without break that the service has been taken as a matter of fact to being there to listen. It’s a long distance to get to the top of Goat Mountain to service equipment, especially if the equipment to be serviced needs to be hauled 222 kms in the other direction.

Kudos to Alan Devlin!

group sessions too.

Still Looking for Cookbook Submissions We are still planning on creating a cookbook for this region, and would appreciate any submissions of recipes, pictures, poetry and other writing. It doesn’t have to be fancy or complicated, just think of your favorite things to cook, bake and preserve. Please send in recipes in person or to edge@edgeconnection.ca, or by mail to The Edge. Funds will be used to support a weeklong Summer Cybercamp, including the personnel and supplies.

NADB reviews year and looks forward at AGM Claire paradis Arrow Lakes News

With files from Laurie Page At their annual general meeting on November 28, the Nakusp and Area Development Board (NADB) reviewed progress made and ongoing projects and directions for the future. In her report on the AGM, President Laurie Page noted that the organization has a strong team with good representation across sectors as well as connections with other organizations such as the Chamber, the Village, NACFOR and Community

SMILE of OF the THE W EEK Smile Week

Services. The board directors have been busy in the last year attending conferences and summits, learning and contribution their knowledge. Page acknowledged in her report that directors are keen to contribute to projects, but that time is at a premium, and that some additional skills need to be learned. In the past year, the NADB has been working on a way to organize a community roundtable where different sectors would be represented in a public event so people could connect with them. It’s been difficult for the board to figure out exactly how this

would work so each sector is represented and people are able to attend more than one sector meeting without repeating the NADB 2010/2011 meetings. The organization has been focusing on tourism, and formed a committee devoted to it. On January 29, there will be a public presentation at the arena auditorium called “Seven Deadly Sins Communities Make in Tourism” by Mike Stolte of the Centre for Innovative and Entrepreneurial Leadership; the following day a tourism workshop is being held for those interested in tourism (registration is

required). At the moment, the NADB business directory which will list local businesses and organizations is behind due to unforeseen circumstances, but it is still in the works. Part-time residents are a great curiosity to the NADB who would like to find out what their plans are: are they going to move here permanently one day? What products and services would help them make that decision? Vivien Berry has taken on the business retention and expansion survey to find out more about what local businesses need to continue on.

Necessities could be anything from finding training for people or discovering how businesses can be more resilient to discussing succession planning. Surveys will be distributed in a number of ways to collect information about our local businesses. The board has given NACFOR funds to look into the feasibility of wood waste bioenergy generation here in Nakusp. NACFOR is in conversation with Diana Brooks, director of Regional Economic Operations for East and West Kootenay and Boundary areas.

The Summit Lake Racers are preparing for another exciting season on the slopes and thanks to the support of parents, volunteers and local organizations we are off to a great start. There has been an excellent turnout of racers for our pre-season dry land training as well as a positive response at the recent annual meeting. Check out the cool Summit Lake Racers video on YouTube. The Summit Lake Racers is a ski and snowboard race league for children and youth that is based out of the Summit Lake Ski Area. The SLR club is a volunteer-run league that has been active for almost 25 years, providing a fun and exciting opportunity for ski and snowboard racers in the Nakusp and New Denver areas. We emphasize development of a life-long love for winter sports and building skills through team-centred practice and race participation. Racers develop technical skills in a supportive, motivating environment as they prepare to experience the challenges and rewards of competition. The SLR members belong

to the provincial governing bodies for ski (BC Alpine) and snowboard (BC Snow Board Association) sports in B.C. All events that we participate in are sanctioned by these organizations. Younger racers participate in the West Kootenay zone of the Nancy Greene Ski League. High school racers participate at the annual BC High School provincial ski and snowboard championship race. Alumni of the SLR have competed at the provincial, national and Junior World Levels for skiing and snowboarding. The SLR club works closely with the Summit Lake Ski Area to deliver a successful racing program. Practices are held at the hill every weekend from January to March. Each year our organization hosts the Summit Lake Club Races, a hugely popular event for ski club members, racers, families and everyone in between! We also host a Nancy Greene zone race with competitors coming from Salmo, Whitewater, Red Mountain and Phoenix Mountain in Grand Forks. Last year was a great year for participation in the SLR program with many new racers joining the ranks. It was great to see all the new faces and

Come celebrate Hannukah in Silverton with Allan Merovitz this weekend. Photo courtesy Carla Nemiroff Contributed by Carla Nemiroff

Mark your calendars for Saturday, December 8 at the Silverton Gallery. The veteran Klezmer singer, playwright, actor and Yiddishist, Allan Merovitz will be with us to celebrate the first night of Hannukkah. The multi-talented artist will treat the audience to a one-man show, where he will regale us with songs, stories, candle lighting and dance. Yes, Allan is also a “Badchan,” a director of wedding festivities, and will be leading us in Jewish circle dances, so bring your dancing shoes – or dance barefoot! Born and raised in a Hasidic Jewish Family in the Ottawa Valley, Allan’s first language was Yiddish. With his powerful voice, Allan has always been attracted to Klezmer music, and has been touring and performing for years with his own musical shows, reflecting his knowledge and interest in Yiddish repertoire and Jewish tradition. In 1999,

Allan created a Hanukkah show with storytelling to accompany a launch tour of the cd Festival of Lights with the Dutch group Ot Azoj and he will be using this album to accompany the dances. Allan has recorded and toured North America and Europe with top Klezmer and Yiddish ensembles, to name a few: Toronto’s Flying Bulgar Klezmer Band, Simcha Klezmer Ensemble with Martin van de Ven, Sasha Luminski and Monique Lansdorp. He has also headed up the the band Klezmerovitz. As a storyteller, Allan is recognized as a “Keeper of Memories” in communities that have experienced his in-depth knowledge of Jewish stories. What Allan brings alive in his performances is the universal human quality that connects all people and cultures in the grand family of humans on this fragile Earth. Allan most recently participated in Peace Project in Israel, a collaboration of Christian, Muslim

and Jewish artists. When not on tour, Allan is based in Calgary. Locals may have seen him perform in 2010 at the Starbelly Jam Festival, where he played a wonderful set of Klezmer and Sephardic music with local “vunder kinders” Bessie Wapp and Ben Jonson, and Calgarians Frank and Ben Rakow. We are so fortunate to have Allan come to Silverton for this first night of Hanukkah. Rumour has it that there will be goodies and latkes served, and that local young musicians may steal the spotlight with a few songs as an opening act. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for kids, and $25 for a family with up to two adults and three kids. Show time is at 7:00 p.m., tickets at the door only.
