B.C. wants Columbia River Treaty extended Alex Cooper, Tom Fletcher & Art Harrison Arrow Lakes News/Black Press
The B.C. government wants to continue the Columbia Treaty, but it is hoping to negotiate improvements to the treaty from within its existing framework, Bill Bennett, the Minister of Energy and Mines announced last week. The decision comes with the deadline of September when either side in the agreement can give the required 10-year notice to terminate substantial portions of the treaty or end it entirely in 2024, the 60-year lifespan of the original treaty’s time frame. The decision to continue with the treaty includes 14 principles intended to guide B.C. in any discussions on the future of the CRT between Canada and the United States. The announcement comes after a two-year review of the 50-yearold treaty between Canada and the US, with the province of B.C. acting as Canada’s representative and the US Entity made up of the US Corps of Engineers and the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) representing the U.S. “We believe continuing the Columbia River Treaty while exploring how improvements could benefit both countries is the best strategy moving forward for B.C., Canada, and the United States,” said Bennett in a media release. “The consultations that have included various levels of government, stakeholder groups, First Nations, and the public have helped ensure the future of the treaty will be shaped by the people it impacts.” Bennett said the province would try to convince the U.S. government it is a fair deal. B.C. gets “downstream benefits” worth between $100 and $300 million a year from the treaty, and the U.S. has sug-
gested that is too much. “We believe, with all due respect to the U.S., that if all of the benefits in the U.S. are identified and valued, that in fact Canada probably does not receive enough,” Bennett said Thursday. “There hasn’t been a major flood in the U.S. since the Canadian dams were constructed,” Bennett said. “Before the Canadian dams were constructed, there were some horrible floods causing loss of life and billions of dollars of damage. So the treaty was negotiated 50 years ago on the basis of producing power and controlling floods.” Kootenay West MLA, Katrine Conroy, is the NDP’s opposition critic for the Columbia River Treaty but, in this case, she is not being so critical. “This is a good thing,” said Conroy. “You won’t hear this much in my political career but the minister and I agree on this. “I think it’s better to work within the treaty and improve upon it. We gave up far more than we gained in the treaty, they gained a huge socioeconomic boost, to their tourism, agriculture, flood control, all this on top of the hydro. It’s pretty amazing what you can do when you have control of the flow. “This is a good start and we have to be tough in negotiations but I think we’re in a strong position. I’m glad the ministry has let the federal government know the direction they want to go with this and I think the citizens will support it.” The review process included numerous community consultation sessions held throughout the Columbia Basin to discuss the impacts of the original treaty and what the people of the region wanted to see addressed in any new discussions on the cross-border agreement. “The first thing we noticed during the community consultations

was the deep sorrow felt in many communities at the losses the region incurred,” said Deb Kozak, local government committee chair for the review. “But the people of this region are pragmatic and resilient and they wanted to talk about how to make things better. “When this treaty was struck 50 years ago it was a different time and there were no provisions for the ecology of the river system. People have expressed concerns about possible impacts of climate change and the industrial reservoirs with the dramatic raising and lowering of water levels that impact fish and wildlife and erosion. These things need to be acknowledged and addressed.” While the U.S. side of the treaty has yet to formally declare whether or not it is interested in continuing with the treaty, the US Entity
released its recommendations for the future of the CRT last December. Although the document clearly states that it feels the financial compensation returned to B.C. through the downstream benefits of the agreement are far too high and need to be addressed, many of the stated principles in the document are relatively closely aligned with the principles put forward by B.C. “The U.S. relies heavily on a managed system,” said Kozak. “There’s a big advantage to continuing the discussion and looking for improvements. When this treaty was struck is was a highly unusual occurrence, since then it has been used as a model for cross-border agreements. It has served Canada and the U.S. very well.” The local government committee met Friday in Creston to dis-

cuss the government’s decision. Nakusp Mayor Karen Hamling, who is vice-chair of the committee, echoed many of Kozak’s comments in an interview with the Arrow Lakes News. “People were asking for a better look at the downstream benefits and making sure that it benefits us as much as it benefits the States,” Hamling said. From Nakusp’s perspective, she said more stable water levels is one she hopes negotiators look at. “Definitely the ecosystem and agriculture were spoken of quite a bit in the Nakusp area, and the need for adaption to climate change,” she said. Officials at the Portland-based Bonneville Power Administration have recommended a “modernized

Alex Cooper Arrow Lakes News
The Nakusp & Area Community Forest took a big leap forward in 2013, making up for years of little logging with a massive harvest throughout the year. “Some of our key successes is that in 2013 we harvested quite a lot of land base,” said Kathy Smith, the president of NACFOR, in a presentation to Nakusp council last week. “The reason why we were able to do that is because we had a lot of previous planning and development of harvesting areas and research into that that allowed us to ramp up for the improved markets. “Because of the good markets, we had some positive financial results and improved financial stability for NACFOR moving forward.” The presentation provided an overview of NACFOR’s work since its inception, as well as a look at plans going forward. Smith went
over the company’s challenges and successes, and its plans for 2014 and beyond. You can view a copy of this presentation by reading this story on the Arrow Lakes News website. It was an auspicious start for NACFOR. From 2008 to 2011 they barely harvested any timber due to a combination of start-up lag and poor log markets. 2012 was the first year the Nakusp & Area Community Forest exceeded their annual allowable cut. Finally, last year, with wood markets improving, they made up for lost time, cutting 61,022 cubic-metres of timber. One of the keys to the success was that the Ministry of Forests extended NACFOR’s cut-control period. The ministry sets out an annual allowable cut for logging companies and it expects the company to meet those targets over a five year period. For NACFOR, they were expected to log 100,000 cubic metres from 2008–2012, but because of the start-up lag and slow markets, they only reached 40 per cent of their total by the end of the period. Fortunately, the ministry extended their cut by another five years, giving NACFOR until the end of 2017 to cut 200,000 cubic-metres. In 2013, NACFOR made up for lost time by ramping up production in the Macdonald Creek and Fosthall areas. This year, it is planning on logging 23,460 cubic-metres of wood in the Summit Lake, Box Lake and Galena Bay areas. NACFOR’s challenges are consistent year-to-year, Smith said. The first is its operating area. “We have eight separate operating areas and they are all unique unto themselves and they are not contiguous,” she said. “That presents challenges for planning purposes, for access.” The other main challenge is the limited local log marketing opportunities, and the high transportation costs to sell logs out of market. Another challenge is in finding local contractors to do the harvesting, particularly cable loggers. “A shrinking contractor base in the Nakusp area limits our operational flexibility,” Smith said. “We can’t log that site or we need to go out of the area to find someone to log that area.” Accomplishments in 2013 were numerous. NACFOR logged 61,022 cubic-metres
over a total of 160 hectares. 61 per cent was done by ground-based logging and the remainder was cable logging. That work entailed 2,795 person days of employment. About half of that was for logging, with the bulk of the rest split between forest management and hauling. Road work and silviculture represented a small portion of employment. NACFOR planted 16,275 trees over 11.9 hectares; a mix of cedar, Douglas fir, larch, lodgepole pine and white pine was planted. There were community and social initiatives. The main one Smith noted was the opening of the Jackrabbit Interpretive Trail in the Wensley Creek area in September. NACFOR partnered with several educational institutions. A team of five masters students came up from the University of British Columbia to develop a two-part forest health strategy for the NACFOR area. As well, two UBC forestry students were employed as co-op students last summer and the Selkirk College second year forestry class did field work in NACFOR’s tenure. NACFOR is also taking part in the BladeRunner program in Nakusp, sponsored a wood manufacturing workshop in Nakusp in November, donated six loads of birch firewood for community groups to auction off, and provided a total of $2,000 in bursaries to three Nakusp Secondary School grad students. They worked with locals on forestry planning to take into account public concerns over logging, such as in the Fosthall area. “We had a lot of public discussions there because of the mushroom pickers and the recreational use.” Similar discussions are taking place regarding toads in the Summit Lake area. For 2014, NACFOR is planning on harvesting about 23,000 cubic-metres over 60 hectares. It intends to plant 220,140 trees of 170 hectares and build two kilometres of new road. They intend on doing layout and planning to cut another 25,000 cubic-metres of wood. “We want to keep our shopping basket full so to speak,” said Smith. “If we want to log 25,000 cubic-metres, we don’t want to just plan on that 25. We want to have 75,000 so there’s some opportunities based upon markets so you can move around a little bit. If the market picks up really good, you have an opportunity of increasing that cut so you can make that bottom line number.”
Five questions for NACFOR
Alex Cooper
Arrow Lakes News
Following the NACFOR presentation, the Arrow Lakes News e-mailed five general questions to them. Some of their responses made reference to documents on NACFOR’s website. What were the main successes of NACFOR in its first five years? 1. Working towards management commitments of the Community Forest Agreement, including approval of the Forest Stewardship Plan, Management Plan and cutting permits from 2008 to 2011 to enable operations to ramp up when log markets improved in 2012. 3. Completion of the Jackrabbit Interpretive trail. What about the main challenges? 1. Limited markets for logs. Local mills closed, some premium log markets disappeared, mills are very specialized and use particular species and grades, log prices are disconnected from lumber prices, log sellers are generally price takers, freight
costs and ferries limit reach to markets and its tougher to account for all factors. 2. Transportation costs from Nakusp to regional buyers reduces the narrow profit margins, making it uneconomic to manufacture some species and products. Where do you see the forest industry going in the next five years? 1. A higher demand for wood products when the U.S. economy recovers. 2. Higher pricing for logs due to a declining timber supply across the province. What are the main issues facing NACFOR in the next five years? 1. The biggest issue for NACFOR will be determining how best to return profits from forestry operations to the people of the Arrow Lakes communities. The Village of Nakusp, sole shareholder of NACFOR, is working with the Board of Directors to formulate a profit distribution strategy that will create some form of community benefit and a lasting legacy, a fundamental premise of community forestry. 2. We recognize that community partic-
ipation in NACFOR operations is fundamental to good management of the community forest. NACFOR will continue to work with stakeholders and members of the public towards transparent and meaningful communication. 3. We are currently working on a strategic level plan to develop a long term planning tool which will guide future operational activities. With more refined timber supply information, NACFOR will have more flexibility to respond to markets and maximize economic returns. What does NACFOR need to do to be successful going forward? 1. A diverse market for logs — tied to the log supply info mentioned above — local log market realities. 2. A good relationship with local forestry contractors in order to carry out operational activities. 3. Public support for forest management and business activities. 4. Maintaining strong relationships with community groups, educational organization and stakeholders.

Sexual health clinic looking for partners in Kinsmen Health Building Alex Cooper Arrow Lakes News
The Nakusp Options for Sexual Health clinic is looking for someone to take over the Kinsmen Health Centre so it can stay in its home of the past 16 years. “We would like to express our interest in working with the village towards the continuing community use of the Kinsmen health building,” Teresa Weatherhead, the chair of the clinic told Nakusp council last week. The move comes after Interior Health moved its public health nurse unit to the Arrow Lakes Hospital at the start of the year. The OPT clinic now finds itself as the sole user of the Kinsmen building, which it uses only two Monday evenings every month and the occasional Saturday. It is hoping to find partners to continue the building’s use as a health facility in Nakusp. The Kinsmen building was built in the 1960s and donated to the Village of Nakusp for use as a health facility in 1969, with a 40-year contract in place. In 2009, when the contract expired, the village started charging rent to Interior Health. The OPT clinic was able to use the building rent-free. Now, with IHA having moved out, the building has no main tenant and its future is up in the air. Weatherhead told council the building works very well for the clinic’s purposes. They need six rooms to properly run the clinic, which provides Pap screenings, birth control counseling, testing for sexually transmitted infections, and sexual health education. “We’re filling a pretty much needed gap for our overall health care for the area,” said Weatherhead. “All our volunteers are fully trained counsellors for sexual health.” She went to council looking for support from the village to turn the building into a “collaborative, multi-use facility for health initatives in Nakusp. “We’d like to continue to honour the purpose of the building,” she said. Weatherhead said she has spoken to other alternative health providers who might be interested in renting space. She told council she spoke to Arrow & Slo-
The Kinsmen Health Centre is without a regular tenant after Interior Health moved its public health nurse to the Arrow Lakes Hospital earlier this year. Alex Cooper/Arrow Lakes News can Lakes Community Services about partnering to make use of the building. Grant funding could be obtained to help pay for necessary renovations to the building; it has asbestos and mold issues right now, she said. Interior Health’s Health Community Initiatives program could be looked to for funding. “Certain alternative health modalities have expressed interesting in single room rental space,” she said. “Other direct social and health related services and programs have also expressed interest.” The OPT clinic has applied for a $5,000 grant from Columbia Basin Trust, $2,900 of which is earmarked to pay for renovations of wherever the clinic ends up. Weatherhead said they have been looking at other spaces for the past three years, since the building was last put up for sale, but that the Kinsmen building serves their needs best. Nakusp council, in a closeddoor session, opted to give the OPT clinic until the end of June to come up with a business plan, said chief administrative officer Linda Tynan. After that, the village will start to look at other options for the building. Mayor Karen Hamling said it would be up to the OPT board to develop a business plan to use the building. She likened it to the
old firehall, where the village has asked for groups to come up proposals to use the building. “We would expect the same from this group,” she said. “If this is something they want to do, they would put it together. Staff would work with them to help if they needed it.” In an interview following the council meeting, Weatherhead said she hoped the village would back the project and that the clinic’s six volunteers can’t formulate the business plan by themselves. “We’re extremely hopeful that the village will take notice of this and notice there are other areas of our community that are in need of space,” she said. “If the village were to spearhead this, it would really look good on their behalf. There’s certainly grants available, there’s ways available.” Tim Payne, the executive director of Arrow & Slocan Lakes Community Services, told the Arrow Lakes News that discussions with the OPT clinic were brief. “We’re always looking for possibilities and partnerships but there was nothing definite and no commitment,” he said, adding they were looking to expand. “We’re always looking at spaces because right now we’re scrambling with our space right now. We haven’t got any real directive to do that at this point in time.”

Area K taxes up for 2014
www.arrowlakesnews.com
NEWS
1.9 per cent increase expected for rural Arrow Lakes taxpayers, a result of rising property assessments, RDCK CFO says Alex Cooper & Greg Nesteroff Arrow Lakes News/Black Press
Taxpayers in the Arrow Lakes area of the Regional District of Central Kootenay can expect about a two per cent tax increase this year, should the board approve the 2014 financial plan on Thursday. Stuart Horn, the RDCK’s chief financial officer, said Area K residents will experience a 1.9 per cent tax increase, mainly a result of rising property assessments. Nakusp residents will see about a 0.5 per cent increase in the portion of their tax bill that goes to the regional district. The other main driver of the tax increases is an extra $25,000 that is going to fund the Nakusp arena. For the rest of the RDCK, taxpayers should see their bills remain relatively unchanged this year. The board is expected to adopt a budget this week that will result in no net tax increase for most homeowners. “It really comes down to the fact there weren’t a lot of service increases,” said Horn, who joined the organization last year. “We haven’t seen a need for it.” Horn said one exception was the addition of a second bylaw enforcement officer, which had some impact on the rural administration budget, but it was running at a surplus anyway. District-wide, the only new service is the regionalized Kaslo fire department, which affects the village and rural area surrounding it. “Everybody else has stayed plus or minus two per cent and it’s been driven by the assessments,” Horn said, noting that on the whole, property assessments went up. The regional district is able to hold the line on taxes partly due to
the discovery of a $1.5 million surplus in its general administration budget, which all areas pay into. Horn said keeping reserves often makes sense, but not in this case. “Something like waste, you’d want to keep a bit extra on hand to make sure you have enough in case something big comes up. A service like [general administration] is staff costs, director costs — there aren’t a lot of what ifs.” Horn said his current direction is to use the surplus to keep taxation flat as long as possible, although that might change when the board meets Thursday. Area F director Ron Mickel agreed that while it’s good to have a contingency, “you don’t need anywhere near that. I know it’s a rainy day fund, but I don’t feel comfortable with it. That is definitely too much.” Mickel said some directors want to use the money to delay future tax increases while others think it should be returned to taxpayers faster. “The question is whether to give that surplus back in one shot or over a number of years. That debate is still in progress,” he said. • Recent budget open houses were sparsely attended. No members of the public attended the Nakusp open house. A session in Nelson last week drew about ten people, while earlier meetings in Salmo and Castlegar had five and four respectively. Horn said there were no consistent concerns, with different issues raised in each community. • The regional district provides about 160 services, which each fall within one of seven budget areas: general administration, rural administration, development services, environmental services, regional parks, fire protection, and community sustainability.

Sufferfest unveils Nakusp plans Alex Cooper Arrow Lakes News
Nakusp will be playing host to a cyclocross race and a duathlon when the Kootenay Sufferfest comes to town on Labour Day this year. Janis Neufeld, the organizer of the endurance running and mountain biking event presented to council last week on the plans from the expanded event, which will now take place on the Labour Day long weekend. Previously, Sufferfest took place in New Denver and Kaslo over the course of two days, but this year the event is adding a day in Nakusp to round out the competition. The first day will feature trail running events in Kaslo. Day two will be mountain biking in New Denver and day three will be the new events in Nakusp. Cyclocross is a cross between mountain biking and road biking, explained Neufeld. The Nakusp race will feature a 20 kilometre loop that starts and ends in town. Racers will have the chance to compete in either a 40-kilometre race or a 100-kilometre race. The racers will pass through Nakusp

on each lap, giving residents a chance to cheer them on. The duathlon will feature a five kilometre run, 20 kilometre bike ride and another five kilometre run. On top of that, Nakusp will also be the finish line for the Loonie Toonie — a three-day, 200-kilometre trail run. Neufeld was at the council meeting to let them know of a few requests from the village — notably use of the area around the gazebo to host the start and finish lines, merchant tents and First Aid station. Sufferfest spon-
sors will be allowed to set up tents around the gazebo. Food vendors aren’t allowed, said Neufeld. “We say no, because our first mandate is to support local businesses,” she said. She said street closures wouldn’t be needed, but there might be intermittent closures and signs would be posted reminding people of the race going on. She hopes for 150 people to take part in the Nakusp races, with about 75 volunteers needed to help out.
Village staying out of Alexander Road dispute Alex Cooper Arrow Lakes News
Council opted to not get too involved in a dispute between neighbours on Alexander Road. The complainant alleged that the owner of the property at 125 Alexander Road, next door to Carson's Corner, was using the property to run a towing business, contrary to zoning regulations.
Councillors disagreed that the property was being used to run a business, noting that while the owner may be parking his tow trucks there, that's not illegal unless he's bringing towed vehicles to the property. "My question always comes to what are the real negative effects on the general public, and I don't see it there," said Joseph Hughes. "If there was business activity all the time, that would be one thing.
If he's storing his vehicles there and they just happen to be his vehicles, I don't see it as breaking the law." Instead, council asked staff to send a letter to the property owner letting him know that he can park his tow trucks there, but he can't bring towed vehicles there. "If in the future it goes past that, he knows, and there would be grounds to discontinue business operations,” said Hughes.

Kyle Kusch, the curator for the Arrow Lakes Historical Society, carries an old BC Hydro map of the Arrow Lakes into the new archives room inside the Nakusp Centennial Building. The maps show the Arrow Lakes before the construction of the Keenleyside Dam. The society moved hundreds of boxes of files, photos and more into their new facility last week. They are planning an open house on Saturday, April 5. Alex Cooper/Arrow Lakes News

While you’re not looking, this is what’s happening to BC’s world renowned recycling program.
Well, lookie here. One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling program. The next, something new and rather questionable is being put in its place. And they thought they’d get away with it right under your nose, without telling you or asking your opinion. That’s definitely not democracy in action. The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best interests, has decided to offload the costs of recycling to big multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan, they’ve set up an association that doesn’t really seem to hold the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the Blue Box program, close to its heart.
Perhaps that’s why some of our local elected officials are using the word “scam” to describe how the new program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board. That’s gotta tell you something. Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know what you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling an already-working recycling program to replace it with something that few people think will be as good, is a bad idea.
What’s going on here?

The various birds of the British Columbia coast
Gary Davidson Birds of Nakusp Our six month trip to Australia is over and we are back at home. Before returning to Nakusp, we spent a week at the coast visiting family. There is a striking difference between bird species that winter along the coast as opposed to those in the West Kootenay region. The mild temperatures, open water and thus an abundant food supply is, of course, the reason. I won’t list all the species I saw on the coast but just mention some of the more obvious differences. There are quite a few duck species that breed in the interior and winter on the coast. There were huge rafts of Scoters along the coast, including three different species: Surf, White-winged and Black. The first two are common species and may occur in flocks of many hundred. The third, the Black Scoter, is uncommon and I saw
only a dozen or so among the large flocks. All three species breed in the Arctic regions with a few, particularly White-winged, sometimes nesting in B.C. Other coastal species included Harlequin and Long-tailed Ducks. Long-tails are another of the Arctic breeders, but Harlequins nest throughout the interior of B.C., usually along fast moving rivers and creeks. They do occasionally nest on the Kuskanax. Another Arctic breeder that frequents B.C.'s coastal waters is the Brant. This small goose is very common along the coast, particularly in early spring when huge numbers feed in the coastal shallows and river estuaries. Each year in March, Parksville holds the annual Brant Festival to celebrate the passing of the geese. Gulls are also very common on the coast. In the Arrow Lakes Valley we have a few California and Herring Gulls for much of the year; they are briefly much more common during the kokanee spawn in the fall. On the coast they are several species, some of which are extremely numerous. Glaucous-winged and Mew Gulls were probably the two I saw more often last week, but I also saw lesser numbers of Thayer’s, Herring, Ring-billed and Glaucous Gulls. It’s not only water birds that

occur on the coast more regularly than the interior. I encountered Fox Sparrows and Golden-crowned Sparrows numerous times in the woodland edges. In the interior, the Fox Sparrow is a sub-alpine species that breeds in the meadows at higher eleva-
tions. We very rarely see them in the valleys, and they do not remain through the winter. Golden-crowned Sparrows are uncommon here at all times of year. When they do occur it is usually mixed in with the large flocks of White-crowned Sparrows that pass

through in April. The next couple of months are perhaps the most exciting time for birders in Canada. The migrants are coming and you can expect something different every time you step out the door, so keep your eyes open!

A Nakusp youth takes advantage of the fixed floating dock at the Nakusp boat ramp to go fishing last week. The temporary extension of the boat ramp is complete and the floating dock has been fixed and sits in the water, where it should. We didn’t witness any boats being launched last week, but did see one truck and boat trailer in the parking lot, so we assume the ramp is getting some use now that it has re-opened. Hank Scown, the president of the Nakusp Rod & Gun Club, noted the temporary nature of the ramp extension. “I guess what we need to see now is what becomes of that dock as the water level changes,” he said. “People will probably be happy with it until the water goes down again, and we’re back to square one.” Alex Cooper/Arrow Lakes News

Participants in last year’s Convergence Writers’ Weekend. The annual event includes workshops and a panel discussion. Submitted
Writers converge at New Denver retreat Contributed
Budding authors can blossom this spring with the help of mentors and peers during the third annual Convergence Writers’ Weekend at the Heart’s Rest Retreat Centre in New Denver, May 2 to 4. The theme of this year’s gathering is “Writing for the Wild,” so although participants may be working on fiction, non-fiction, or poetry on any topic, the weekend’s emphasis will be on how to create sturdier and more effective writing about wilderness and the effects of human society on it. Besides workshops that will consider participants’ own writing, the weekend will include a panel, open to the public, featuring three area writer-activists on Friday, May 2 at 7:30 p.m.
Speaking at the Writing for the Wild panel will be publisher, author and Jumbo Wild campaign leader K.L. Kivi, author and Columbia River watershed expert Eileen Delehanty Pearkes, and journalist, public health care activist and a leader in the fight against the Northern Gateway pipeline Keith Wiley. Panelists will speak on the relation of social justice to the environmental movement, overcoming despair, and finding joy in the work, in the context of writing about the wild. The panel will be moderated by Heart’s Rest co-founder and past president of the Slocan Lake Stewardship Society Therese DesCamp. Leading the weekend workshops will be local author/ educators Almeda Glenn Miller, Verna Relkoff and Tom Wayman.
Registration is now open for this year’s event, which is limited to 25 participants. Cost for the weekend is $275, which includes all six meals from dinner May 2 to lunch May 4. A limited number of scholarships are available for youth between 15 and 30 years of age, and this year also for residents of Silverton or New Denver of any age. More information, including how to register, is available at heartsrest.com/convergence/convergence-writers-retreat/. Deadline for registration is April 11. Support for this year’s event has come from the ProVision fund of the United Church of Canada and the Heart’s Rest Retreat Centre; supporters in earlier years have included the Columbia Basin Trust and the Trust’s Community Initiatives Program.

Men of Nakusp: It's time to work on your party tricks, dust off your suits, work on your sixpack, practice your moves and get ready to impress. The Mr. Nakusp pageant is being resurrected by Sheila Seaton and Jackie Watson and they are looking for candidates to take part in the event. The pageant started more than 25 years ago and only happened
three times, in 1987, 1988 and 1990, Seaton said. The first winner was Garry Fahlman, but no one is sure who the other two winners were. The pageant started as a fundraiser and that is what the new organizers are hoping it becomes too. If it moves forward, Seaton and Watson, are planning for a semi-formal event on Saturday, June 28. Expect a night of "riotous fun that runs a little on the risque side."
It will be run like a regular pageant, with contestants judged in a number of different categories. Don’t worry — it won’t be a serious affair. Contestants should be charismatic and willing to get on stage to entertain. So far two men have signed up and organizers want five registered to move forward. It's rated R, so no minors allowed. E-mail jackie@telus.net or sheilamseaton@gmail.com if you're interested in signing up.
Minister Bennett expects tough negotiations Treaty from page 1
framework that balances power production, flood risk management, and ecosystem-based function as the primary purposes addressed in the treaty, while also meeting other congressionally authorized purposes of the U.S. project, such as irrigation and
navigation.” On the B.C. side, dams on the Columbia system provide about half of the province’s current electricity supply. Bennett said he expects tough negotiations, but he is confident the treaty can be settled. “Yankee trader is an expres-
sion that I’m familiar with,” Bennett said. “They’ve always done very well on the softwood agreement it seems to me, so I’m not expecting an easy ride or anything. But the history of the treaty is that the two countries have collaborated very well.”

Darlene was born October 11th 1925, her father’s birthday, the youngest and only girl, of ten children. She was born on the family farm in Dundurn, Saskatchewan, and at the same time, a foal was coming into the world in the barn. She always said the boys were more interested in the horse than the new baby. That attitude would change when the baby turned out to be “Sister”, as they called her. Darlene was the apple of her Daddy’s (and brothers’) eye. Darlene went to country school in the Dundurn area, and then on to Technical School in Saskatoon, where she earned a secretarial diploma. Darlene married John Alexander Harris on May 4th 1946 in Saskatoon and they immediately moved east and started their family in Toronto. Soon after, they moved to Montreal where they welcomed seven more children into the mix. In 1973 Darlene became a widow and soon found that she longed for the Prairies, so in 1976 moved to Saskatoon. Darlene was a professional secretary and worked for The Potash Corporation of America until her retirement in 1992. Soon after, she moved farther west, to Canmore, AB. In 1996 she was reunited with her beau from before WWII, J.J.Cennon. They were married in Canmore on May 3rd 1997. They left Canmore and moved to Nakusp, BC in 2005. The past 9 years have been spent in Nakusp, where they settled in and enjoyed the Seniors’ Serenaders and the many activities of the Seniors’ Club. Darlene participated in Yoga, Tai Chi and was active with the museum for a time. Mom loved her flowers and the walk along the waterfront…and fish on Tuesday nights at Chumley’s. Left to cherish her memory are her husband Jack Cennon, Nakusp, BC., sisterin-law Jean (Bob) Lindberg, Middle Lake, SK.

She also leaves 16 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren who knew and loved her well. We will all be gathering with relatives, friends and families on the 19th of July at the Seniors’ Centre in Nakusp and we would like to extend an invitation to all who knew Darlene to come and celebrate her life. The Harris Family In lieu of flowers, donations would be gratefully accepted in Memory of Darlene E. Cennon to Minto House Residents Council, Minto House, c/o Arrow Lakes Hospital, Box 87, Nakusp, BC V0G 1R0
THANK YOU DARLENE CENNON It is with great gratitude that I wish, on behalf of my entire family, to thank the following people for the care and love of our mother, grandmother, great grandmother and wife who passed away peacefully in Minto House on the 28th of February. The nurses and doctors of the Arrow Lakes Hospital cared for my Mom off and on for the past several years and she came to love and trust you all: Dr. Norm Lea, Lorna, Shirley, Sheila, Mary and of course “handsome Colin”. The caregivers in Minto House are exceptional in what they do for the people there. Mom, with her sense of humour, kept them amused most of the time! Cindy, Marie, Susan,Tammy, Miranda, Stacy (with the voice that Mom could hear without her hearing aids…..soft and deep). Gentle Jan (as Mom called her), Pat, Patti, Linda, June, Terri and Wilma. I hope I haven’t missed anyone. You are all so kind and patient. I would also like to send out a huge thank you to Deb Guest who offered to provide a roast beef dinner for my entire family the night after Mom passed. Not only was this a most thoughtful gesture it was extremely delicious. Kristie who came to do Mom’s nails, every couple of weeks, Karolina from Halcyon, and a particular favourite: Dana Moody; someone who was always there for Mom while she was at Halcyon House; sweet, patient and always helpful, Shannon and Colleen at People’s Pharmacy, the gentlemen Ben (on the phone), Ron and Rob (in the office) at Valley Funeral Home were also very kind and gentle. The list is never ending. There is a silent angel who, over the heavy snowfall of the past two weeks, has kept my driveway and pathways clear. I know who you are and I am not sure what I would have done without you. Thank you, Mike. The outpouring of love and caring that we all have felt from the people of Nakusp with the passing of our Mom is almost overwhelming. I am proud to live here and to know you all. Mary Ellen Harris
