Nakusp Minor Hockey heats up in the arena stephanie dieterman Arrow Lakes News
The leaves are falling off the trees and the weather is cooling down, but in the Nakusp Arena things are heating up with hockey season in full swing. With a promising start to the season, Nakusp Minor hockey is really excited about the great turn out of kids this year. There are three teams to come out and cheer for, starting with the Bantam House team, the oldest of the teams, with 11 players coached by Pat McCrory, Ryan Bateman and Shea Weighill and with team manager Carla Trenholm. They have played three games so far, two in Beaver Valley and one home game against Castlegar. A home tournament is set for November 22–24 and you can come out and

support them at their next home game Nov. 9 at 11 a.m. Carla has said that they have a new player who has never played hockey before who is improving everyday thanks to the hard work and dedication of our coaches. The Atoms team has 12 players, four of them being brand new to hockey, plus two affiliate players from the Senior Novice team. Coached by Mike Smith with assistant coach’s Wayne Hascarl and Mitch Hascarl, Trainer Shawn Coates and team managers Andrea Coates and Kristy Robins. The atoms have played four games with a 4-4 tie in Boundary. You can catch up with the Atoms for their home games Nov. 9 at 5:15 p.m., Nov. 10 at 12:15 p.m. and December 8 at 11 a.m. The home tournament will be January 24-26, 2014. The youngest Team of the bunch would be the Novices. With both a senior team of 12 players and a junior team of 16 players, the ice is full of laughs, learning and a few falls. They are coached by Ryan Fehler and assisted by Hans Suhr, Jarrod Teindl, Mark Macaulay, Paul Tithecott and Shea Weighill with Susan Fehler as team manager. The seniors are set to play a game in Revelstoke in late November, and a Novice tournament will be in Nakusp in December. Hope everyone can come out to support the local teams! With all the talent in town there are also a few Nakusp kids playing out of town this year. Grayson Reitmeier is playing Junior A hockey in Trail, B.C. for the Smoke Eaters. Colton Dachwitz is playing his second year for the Junior B Rutland Chiefs, who are first

Single dad takes on government census-takers Claire paradis Arrow Lakes News
Wendyle Jones joked that he had won the governmental lottery. On Oct. 31 Jones was in court facing a charge of furnishing false, unlawful or incomplete information resulting from his refusal to fill out a census form. Jones said he had told the census taker he wasn’t interested in participating. But that first visit was only the beginning. The Nakusp man said he was visited by half a dozen more people after that, and eventually received a notification that he had been charged.
“In my opinion it’s a giant waste of taxpayers’ money,” Jones told the Arrow Lakes News. “The government already has all my financial and medical information. I can’t see what they’d want to know that they don’t know already.” But the cost of not filling out the form – up to three months in jail, $500, or both if proven guilty – is too high for the single dad who needs his passport to help his daughter take part in the Rotary exchange. Statistics Canada said 98 per cent of Canadians did complete and send in their surveys, but 54 cases where the individual twice
“ I want to know more about mutual funds.”
refused to complete a census form were referred for prosecution. So far, no person has ever been sentenced to a jail term for failing to complete a census form. Stats Canada stressed that census information is very important and that it is “critical” that everyone be included. For example, the population count is used to determine transfer payments from the federal government to the provinces, or from the provinces to municipalities. Population figures are also used in the determination of the number and boundaries of electoral districts. Information collected is also used by
all levels of government and businesses to make informed decisions, and communities also use census info to plan public services like schools, housing, and transportation, Gabrielle Beaudoin, Director General of Communications at Statistics Canada told the Arrow Lakes News. That may be so, said Jones, but he doesn’t trust the government will take good care of his information. “The government doesn’t have a great track record when it comes to taking care of personal info,” Jones said. He pointed to recent reports in the news such as the loss of a
Vancouver Coastal Health laptop containing personal information in a taxicab, and a report about rising numbers of complaints from people believing information collected by the Canada Revenue Agency was being accessed inappropriately. A lifetime oath of secrecy keeps Stats Can employees from releasing any info they collect, and the penalties if they break it is twice what Jones was facing, as well as more routine security such as physical access and encryption of files. But the single father has learned to pick his battles, and intends to fill out the census form, this time.

New doctors enjoy nature of small town living Claire paradis Arrow Lakes News
Chelsea Anchikoski is one of the new doctors now in Nakusp. Claire Paradis/Arrow Lakes News
You may have heard there’s a new doctor in town. You may have even met her at the clinic or hospital. Dr. Chelsea Anchikoski has joined Dr. Sayed Subzwari as another new physician in Nakusp. Dr. Subzwari has now been with us since July last year, and is now into the second year of a three-year contract. Nakusp is becoming more and more significant for Subzwari and his family. They celebrated the birth of their new son on May 28 this year, a young brother for their 20-month-old daughter. The Kootenays are a far cry from Pakistan, or even Surrey,
where there is more of a Pakistani community. Subzwari moved to Canada from Pakistan six years ago, and has been progressively adjusting to the change in country and culture. Initially, basics like traffic laws and learning right-hand driving were the big challenge. Now, missing the comfort of familiar foods makes the doctor wistful, who would also like to get to know the community better. So far, Dr. Subzwari has found himself surrounded by supportive staff and people at work, and is keen to meet more of the town socially. The Subzwaris really enjoyed the fall fair, and look forward to more family-oriented community events
where they can meet more of their neighbours and potential friends here in Nakusp. Coming from the northern climes around Prince George, Dr. Anchikoski is the newest medical recruit to Nakusp. Anchikoski has been in town since Sept. 9, and has been coming to town for years before that. Even before her rural rotation with Dr. Lea, she had become familiar with the town because she used to come to Nakusp on holidays. When there was a chance to work on the shores of Upper Arrow Lake, she leapt. Here for a three-year contractual stint as well, Anchikoski is hoping to stay forever. The hiking, biking, skiing, camping
and backpacking possibilities are endless and that is what the young doctor and her husband want to do. Anchikoski’s other love, medicine, began early. Since the age of five, she knew that she wanted to be a doctor. When her dad’s pelvis was crushed under a horse in a bad riding accident, she was even more motivated to study medicine. “I want to be a person who knows what to do when something like that happens to a family,” said Anchikoski. She is now enjoying practising suturing, injections and women’s health (“I like men’s health, too,” she added) in Nakusp and is taking new patients.
Should forest service road directional signage improve? Aaron Orlando Arrow Lakes News
Years back, a journalism student was on his way to Nakusp to fill in at the Arrow Lakes News during the editor’s springtime vacation. For some reason, the ferry at Shelter Bay was not running, so the intern decided to take the forest service road down the west side of the Arrow Lakes to catch the Fauquier ferry. He took off down the dirt road in his compact Honda. Eventually, he encountered several feet of snow – likely on some unused side road – and turned around. He limped into Nakusp many, many hours later with only fumes left in the tank (after cadging some
gas from someone in the ferry lineup). Had he got stuck on the west side of the lake, who knows what would have happened. West Arrow Park resident David Coleman thinks the Ministry of Forests should improve the signage on the west side of the Arrow Lakes, since the roadway serves as a vital link for residents and a detour for many who encounter unreasonable waits at the ferry crossings. He feels better signage could have helped avert the tragedy that led to the death of Kyung Chun, a Burnaby mushroom picker who died sometime in September or October. Chun’s van got stuck while trying to turn around on a logging road, after he turned off the main road. Coleman also feels better signage
could have helped avert the Lemon Creek fuel spill, which happened after a fuel truck took a wrong turn. Coleman said he regularly gets asked for directions from lost motorists, who get confused by the many forks on the road. “The forks look like the main road and the logging trucks use them,” Coleman said. “A lot of cars take the logging road and wind up on a dead end. There’s always a new fork in the road.” Coleman copied his letter to the forests ministry to the Arrow Lakes News. We put the question to the transportation and forests ministries. A forest ministry spokesman passed on a statement from a local ministry staff member: “People who
Fundraiser for Jennifer Scott There will be a fundraiser held for Jennifer Scott, a young local girl who has recently been diagnosed with cancer. The event will be held at the Leland Hotel on November 16, 2013. There will be a number of local musicians & bands performing, along with a Silent auction with donations from local residents and businesses including a logging truck load of firewood. Jan and Pat Dion will be shaving their heads in support of Jennifer & are looking for Sponsors. We are accepting donations for the silent auction as well as cash donations. There are also donation jars around town & they are collecting bottles at the liquor store as well. Please call 250 265 4685 or 250 265 4165 if you have something you would like to donate for the auction , or if you are a musician who would like a chance to perform at the event.

head off paved highways should be aware that backroads do not have the same level of maintenance and monitoring. They should prepare themselves with knowledge of the area, a suitable vehicle, and ideally a map.” The forests ministry spokesperson said the ministry is trying to improve directions to recreation sites, including better online maps. Over at the Ministry of Transportation, a spokesperson said forest service roads are not their jurisdiction. But what about ferry outages and half-day waits on peak weekends that prompt people to take the alternate route? “In an emergency situation, where the normal public roads are
not available, the ministry will determine alternate routes and ensure they are fit for travel prior to sending drivers down them,” reads a transportation ministry statement to the Arrow Lakes News. “They will also ensure the detour route is marked/signed and/or traffic control personnel are stationed at decision points.” The transportation ministry also said mixing vehicle traffic with logging trucks is dangerous. In summary, travellers arrive at Shelter Bay, where there is no cell service, detour down the road and get lost, but the ministries responsible advise motorists that they do so at their own risk, and don’t have plans to mark the route.

Local Movember team gets growing for men’s health By Nathaniel Howard
Special to the Arrow Lakes News
Whilst almost everything else has stopped growing, you may notice some hairiness growing on the top lip of a few men’s faces around town over the next month. Welcome to Movember! Movember is a movement that started in Australia in 2004 to raise awareness and funds for men’s health issues, and has now spread to many other countries around the world, including Canada. It originally focussed on prostate cancer, but now includes testicular cancer and mental health issues, particularly depression.
Nakusp’s local team, called the Mo’tain Men, kicked off proceedings with a straight shave on Oct. 31 at Candais Smith’s new Barber’s Jointe barber’s shop. Candais very generously donated her barber’s services, allowing the team to get their fundraising off to an excellent start. The issue of men’s health is particularly important for team member Tom Zeleznik, whose son Ross has recently been diagnosed with testicular cancer, and is currently undergoing chemotherapy. Zeleznik says he is taking part in Movember, as it is “important to me to get the message to young men between the age of 16 to 30 to be tested for
this disease. “Early detection can make an enourmous difference to people diagnosed with the disease, but it is something that a lot of men don’t think about. The Mo’tain Men team includes Doug Switzer, Tom Zeleznik, Byron Coggin, Ryan Willman, Patrick MacGibbon, and is captained by Nathaniel Howard. If you are interested in donating, you can go to ca.movember.com, click on the donate button, and search for our team, or individual names. In addition, you can drop off cash donations to Nathaniel at Selkirk College in Nakusp. Tax receipts are available.

Lose yourself in the flow of Tai Chi this fall Claire paradis Arrow Lakes News
Nakusp Tai Chi Club members demonstrate the 108 forms of Taoist tai chi at the Senior’s Resource Fair. Claire Paradis/Arrow Lakes News
Walking into the Legion on a Tuesday or Thursday morning can be like walking into an underwater kingdom: figures move and sway back and forth like sea grass in rhythm with the surf. The waving forms are tai chi students learning the 108 forms of Master Moy’s type of tai chi. And to return to the beach metaphor, each move is like a single grain of sand that when put together becomes a seamless flow. First exposure to the forms is not an experience of flow for most students. The nice thing about tai chi though is that everyone practising the martial art is always a beginner, learning something new as they practise but never master the forms.
Tai chi has long been practised for its internal and external benefits. Balance, strength, circulation, and flexibility are all increased in regular practitioners. Reduced stress, anxiety and depression also come with learning the forms, as do increased aerobic capacity and muscle strength. Although – and perhaps due to – the slow speed at which the movements are performed, practitioners can find themselves sweating and getting a workout through increasing their stillness. Like a taoist truism, it’s a kind of effortless exertion. Practising steadily produces a noticeable increase in leg strength, and the twisting motions definitely stretch muscles that may otherwise not be noticed. Like yoga, tai chi subtly opens up muscles, loosening up tendons
and giving the body great practise in balance while moving. Tai chi is often thought of as a slow, gentle exercise, but this is not strictly true. Some forms of tai chi have faster forms that are taught as martial arts. It’s not unheard of for an instructor to show how a form that is typically practised slowly can also be sped up and used in self-defence. Stillness of the mind comes to practitioners through time, and tai chi is considered a moving meditation that increases peace and tranquility. Increased strength and peace of mind, decreased stress: beginner’s classes began only a couple weeks ago in the Legion. Classes are at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday and Thursday or Tuesday night at 7 p.m. Now is always the time to learn.
Atamanenko announces retirement from politics Black Press
After three terms in office, NDP MP Alex Atamanenko has announced that he will not be running in the next election.
“I’ve been proud to serve the people of BC Southern Interior,” Atamanenko said in a statement to media. “As I look ahead to retirement in two years, I’d like to thank my constituents for electing
me to represent their interests in Ottawa.” Atamanenko has served the people of BC Southern Interior since his election in 2006. In that time, he has held several critic
portfolios, including Food Security, Rural Affairs, and Agriculture. “I’d like to thank Alex for his contributions to our caucus and our movement,” said NDP leader
Tom Mulcair. “He has been a great representative for B.C. Southern Interior.” The next election is expected in 2015.

Resident wants mobile park policy Editor, I am writing to address the comments made by the owners of Coachman mobile park at the village council meeting on Oct. 14. Mr. Kostuch stated a village policy for mobile home parks is not needed and would discourage investors who make rental properties available. I and many other people I know in the village strongly disagree. A mobile home park policy would encourage investors to keep their properties as mobile home rental parks, thus keeping this type of affordable housing in Nakusp. Without a policy, park owners are more likely to redevelop, reap the windfalls, leaving families, seniors, and others with the extremely high costs of moving or worse yet homeless. I know seniors on fixed incomes, that live in their own homes in rental parks. They certainly cannot afford to move their mobiles with only being

given 12 months’ pad rent as compensation! Moving mobiles cost several thousands of dollars, money most seniors on fixed incomes don’t have. They also face the strong possibility of having nowhere else to move their home to, leaving them without their home. Affordable housing for seniors and those on fixed incomes/low incomes are in short supply and very difficult to find in Nakusp. The village needs to develop a policy to help keep mobile home parks here and protect those that live in the parks. I live at the Arrowtarian seniors complex. I know that if the Rotary, or if sold to a private owner, decided to redevelop and evict the seniors living here, the village would protect us. Mobile home owners in rental parks deserve the same protection by way of a mobile home park policy. Carol Hall Nakusp, B.C.
Genetically modified crops also bad for business Editor, I was pleased to see the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) pass a motion to make B.C. a genetic engineering (GE) free area in respect to all plant and animal species. This is an important statement, especially in light of the pending commercial release of GE (Roundup Ready) alfalfa and the trademark GE Arctic Apple. Our B.C. municipalities have been quite progressive on this important issue. In 1999 the UBCM resolved to petition the Prime Minister of Canada, the Premier of British Columbia, and their respective Ministers’ of Agriculture to take immediate and decisive action to halt the growing monopolization of our food production industry and the introduction of “terminator seed” which could spread plant sterility among all seeding plants, potentially creating a global catastrophe; and
that the UBCM urge the government of Canada and of B.C. to act immediately to prevent any Canadian corporation from patenting, and thus controlling and monopolizing, any seed stock of any variety in Canada and elsewhere in the world. Resolutions in 2006 and 2009 saw the UBCM request that the federal government label GE organisms. A 2012 motion was passed to ask that the B.C. government legislate the prohibition of importing, exporting and the domestic production of fruit and plant material containing GE DNA constructs and to declare B.C. as a GE Free province in respect to all tree fruit products. Some may question why UBCM delegates would pass this type of resolution at their Convention. Part of this is in response to the fact that 14 B.C. communities have now passed individual resolutions declaring themselves a GE
Free zone including our communities of Nelson, Rossland, Kaslo and New Denver. Furthermore 10 Official Community Plans of Regional Districts have come out against GE crops. Currently, there are only four GE crops grown in Canada: corn, soya, canola and sugar beet. Approval has been given by the federal government for GE alfalfa. Alfalfa is used as pasture and hay for animal feed as well as for nitrogen fixation in the soil and is also manufactured into pellets for export. It is a vital crop in organic farming. Forage Genetics International is waiting to begin selling GE alfalfa seeds in Canada pending approval of a so-called “coexistence plan.” The US government deregulated GE Alfalfa in 2011 and the USDA is finding its adventitious presence in a growing number of sites they have tested, making it clear that co-

existence is nothing more than an absurd industry talking point. Any release of GE alfalfa in Canada can only be viewed as a willful attack on non-GMO and organic farmers. Recently a farmer in Washington State had his export shipment rejected because of the presence of GE alfalfa. In 2009 Canadian farmers were hit hard when flax shipments were rejected by EU markets due to its contamination with GE flax. There is a strong economic argument against allowing GE alfalfa or the non-browning GE arctic apple into B.C. - once crops are contaminated by GE traits, both conventional and organic farmers lose money. It is that simple. GE Free BC and Greenpeace Vancouver are sponsoring a fall and winter tour to spread awareness, educate, and share concerns about genetically engi-
neered foods. The speaker’s tour, Genetically Engineered Foods and Human Health, will feature Dr. Thiery Vrain, retired Ag Canada genetic engineer and Dr. Shiv Chopra, ex-scientist for Health Canada and tireless defender of the world’s food supply. We are fortunate that the tour is coming to Osoyoos November 26, 7:00 p.m. at the Watermark Beach Hotel, to Grand Forks December 05, 7:00 p.m. at the Seniors Centre (City Park) and to Kaslo December 14, 6:00 p.m. at St. Andrews Heritage Hall.

MP encourages CRT participation Contributed by Alex Atamanenko
Alex Atamanenko, MP for BC Southern Interior, is encouraging individuals and community groups throughout the Basin to get involved in the public consultation process on the Columbia River Treaty (CRT). “We have the opportunity to participate in the consultation process, and I urge folks to share their thoughts and ideas with the Review Team and Local Governments’ Committee.” said Atamanenko. Over the past two years, the provincial Columbia River Treaty Review Team has heard from residents and stakeholders on the future of the treaty, which is set for renewal in 2014. The Review Team is seeking public input on its Public Consultation Report and its draft rec-
ommendation and principles. Copies of the documents, along with information on providing additional input, can be found at http://blog.gov.bc.ca/columbiarivertreaty/files/2012/07/ Columbia-River-Treaty-DraftBC-Recommendation.pdf, and at http://blog.gov.bc.ca/columbiarivertreaty/public-consultation-report/. The Columbia River Treaty Local Governments’ Committee has also released its draft recommendations and is seeking input from all Basin residents before sending its final recommendations forward to the provincial government. The committee stresses that “Dam operations continue to impact our communities, and decisions about the future of the CRT will influence generations to come.” The committee will be hold-
ing public workshops at the Nakusp Community Complex on Wednesday, Nov. 6 at 3:30 p.m. and again at 6:30 p.m., and at the Sandman Inn in Castlegar on Thursday, Nov, 7 from 10 a.m. to noon. If you are unable to attend a workshop, an online feedback form can be found at www.cbt.org/lgcommittee, or written comments can be sent to: CRT Local Governments’ Committee, Box 2019, Revelstoke BC V0E 2S0. Input must be received by November 15, 2013.

Duck Tollers and Finnish Spitz introduce your pets and mine
Til Niquidet Your Pets and Mine This is my first column and I hope to model it after a newspaper column I read faithfully growing up in Winnipeg. It was called “Your Dogs and Mine” by a dog-loving writer named Fred Edge. Each column featured a locally-owned dog and information about its breed. There was
always tidbits of information about dog care as well. I have raised and shown purebred dogs for nearly 40 years (I know, I started when I was still in the womb!) but I am a total pet lover too. Our home has cats and dogs, and over the years I have owned rabbits, horses, birds, various small animals. So with a nod to Fred Edge I would like to introduce my new column “Your Pets And Mine.” Mine? Well, I obviously love dogs. My kennel name is Pikkinokka, and dogs with that registered name have won 15 allbreed Best in Shows, many National Breed shows and obedience, agility, hunting and show championships all over the world. We have two main breeds here at our kennel on Brouse
Loop Road: the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever and the Finnish Spitz. Both mediumsized dogs, both red-gold, both foxy-looking but there the similarities end. The Toller, as the breed is affectionately known, works by luring ducks closer to the hunter and retrieving the game. It is playful and obedient. Its job is to “return to you.” The Finnish Spitz is the exact opposite. It races ahead of you in the forest, tracking and flushing game birds into the trees. Once it has “treed” the bird, it barks to alert the hunter to the game. Unlike the Toller, which comes when it is called, the Finnish Spitz calls you to come. Both breeds are loving and affectionate, but the Toller is much more a “follower,”

rom government scientists to First Nations citizens and environmentalists, pretty much everyone working to protect the air, water, land and diversity of plants and animals that keep us alive and healthy has felt the sting of attacks from sources in government, media and beyond. Much of the media spin is particularly absurd, relying on ad hominem attacks (focusing on perceived character flaws to deflect attention from or invalidate arguments) that paint people who care about the world as greedy conspirators bent on personal enrichment or even world domination! It would be laughable if so many people didn’t take it seriously. Government tactics have been more insidious, often designed to silence anyone who could stand in the way of massive resource extraction and export policies. Politicians in the U.K., Australia, the U.S., Canada and else-
where have created a false dichotomy between the environment and the economy in efforts to downplay the seriousness of issues like climate change and the need to address them. The arguments are wrong on so many levels. First, the economy is a human invention, a tool that can be changed when it no longer suits our needs. The environment is the very air, water, land and diversity of plant and animal life we cannot live without. Why not work to build a healthy, prosperous economy that protects those things? Volumes of research also conclude ignoring climate change will be far more costly than addressing it. The massive bills for cleaning up after events related to extreme weather, such as flooding, are just a start. Climate change is also affecting water supplies and the world’s ability to grow food, and is contributing to a growing number of refugees. According to the World Health Organization, close to 150 million people are already dying every year from causes related to global warming – and that doesn’t include death and illness related to pollution from burning fossil fuels. Here in Canada, the rush to exploit fossil fuels and get them to market as quickly as possible has sparked a concerted effort to muzzle anyone who would stand in the way, including the government’s
own scientists. A recent survey by the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada found many have been told to alter or exclude information from government documents for non-scientific reasons and prevented from speaking to the public or media about their work. The survey also revealed cases where political interference actually compromised the health and safety of Canadians and the environment. Meanwhile, a recent Environment Canada report says Canada is failing to meet its 2020 greenhouse gas reductions targets under the Copenhagen Accord. The campaign to promote fossil fuels over clean energy has also been taken up by others. In several cases, it has devolved to the level of schoolyard taunts and bullying – in government, but even more so in certain mainstream media. Some outlets have stooped to ignoring ideas and rational argument in favour of lies, innuendo, exaggeration and personal attacks. But there’s room for discussion about ways to address it. And address it we must. We won’t get there, though, if we hinder scientists from conducting their research and speaking freely about it, and if we allow the discussion to be hijacked with petty name-calling and absurd allegations.

was his choice, not ours. He was a barn kitten from a feral mom that was rescued in Kelowna. I guess that wild nature was too instilled in Jessie who as a kitten took to being outside and living the life of the hunter. Outside cats are always a worry, too often prey for the coyotes, so we are always happy to see our little tabby waiting for a scoop of food on our porch railing every morning.

and is currently in her second of four rounds of chemotherapy. Although she’s battling cancer, her attitude is indefatigable, and Scott attributes it to the experience she had after being in a head-on car crash when she was 11. She said she got used to dealing with all the poking and hurting and stress that came with the medical treatments that were necessary for her to heal. “The positive impact is that you see what you can handle,” said Scott. This is the attitude she has about the rounds of chemotherapy and surgeries she’s undergone so far. Support from family and friends has also given her a solid foundation both in the past and presently. Her good friend Jessica Godtmark said Scott, who plays trumpet, has always been a big part of the Nakusp community by helping tutor kids in band classes as well as keeping time at hockey games. “I grew up with her,” said Godtmark. “She’s basically a little sister to me. She’s a sweetheart and she’s had pretty [crappy] luck.” Knowing her as well
as she does, she has organized a musical fundraiser to raise money for Scott’s expenses as she goes through treatment, and puts her life on hold. The budding musician was going to school in Nelson to become a music teacher, but because of her illness has had to take an educational hiatus. Godtmark is determined to help get her friend back on track, and is organizing an event jam-packed full of music, prizes and more on Nov. 16. But before the music, there will be a silent auction starting at 2 p.m., and food available. Over a dozen musical acts – some coming from as far as Vancouver – will be taking to the Leland stage beginning at 5 p.m. and admission is by donation. If you stick around, one act in the listings will be Pat and Jan Dion shaving their heads around 8 p.m. Sounds like a night of fun. Unfortunately for Scott, her treatment may also mean she won’t be able to take part in the upcoming fundraiser due to her weakened immune system. But she’s already feeling the love.

Lest we forget the people behind the poppies CLAIRE PARADIS Arrow Lakes News
“Don’t get me started,” said a friend when the topic of Remembrance Day poppies came up. But why? Remembrance Day seems very much like a good time to talk about war and its effects. To my friend, who had served in the military in earlier days, the little red poppy was not the right image to represent the harrowing hell that was war. But cloying emotionalism isn’t either, said my friend, who has shed his own tears over war’s death and destruction. In this day of drones and sending soldiers overseas for peacekeeping missions, veterans of relatively clear cut conflicts are dwindling in numbers,
and perhaps also dwindling is a clear understanding of how the poppy campaign is relevant. Unlike the “Great” wars of the past, conflict these days are more complex, less seemingly straightforward – although the idea of a monolithic terrorist threat attacking from outside our country is very simplistic. Now when we see veterans returning from missions overseas, it is in the name of “peacekeeping,” which is a vague and often unexplained term. Unlike the Second World War, the arena where the image of the poppy originated, contemporary missions and how they affect Canada’s sovereignty are unclear. The subtleties of global politics aside, the reality is that troops overseas, young men and women in the military,

Bluesman brings soul of the South to Silverton Contributed by Carla Nemiroff
Son of a civil rights lawyer and a fiddle player, Doc MacLean was exposed to country blues and folklore at an early age. Hailing from the Deep South, MacLean has played washboard, harmonica and guitar with many of the great original delta bluesmen. He has been band leader and recording artist for 40 years, and his recent annual blues tours have been playing across Canada for eight years.
First known for his work as an accompanist on harmonica and washboard, Doc proceeded to make his own mark as a guitarist, singer, arranger and band leader. For 15 years he toured a nine-piece Memphis-New Orleans jump band, Dr Limbo and His Fabulous Off-Whites, and released a number of singles – some of which achieved heavy regional and college airplay. Doc MacLean has continued to play significant North American folk and blues
festivals. Performing on bottleneck and standard guitar, Doc MacLean now appears solo, as well as with upright bass and percussion. While his lyrics are mainly contemporary, his approach as a guitaristsongster reflects not only his exposure to southern string bands and jug bands, but also to Delta players and storytellers such as Charlie Patton, Son House, and Sam Chatmon. Now, marking 30 years on the blues highway, his work as
