Roy “Rocky” Beattie, 90 — long time Nakusp resident — passed away on October 10 in the Arrow Lakes Hospital due to complications from pneumonia. Many have used the term gentleman to describe this confirmed bachelor, who was known for his light-hearted demeanor and warm smile. Crossley and Sandi Coates were good friends of Beattie, who was
very modest. Sandi said in an interview with the paper, “He was the kindest gentleman, and very humble. Rocky could never understand why people bothered with him.” For example, someone who might be bringing him food, ”He was happy to accept it but would be baffled that people really cared that much about him.” Born in February 1924 in Banff, Alberta, Rocky joined the Calgary branch of the RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force) serving in
Air Armament overseas during WWII. After his discharge in 1946, Beattie spent the next 33 years in Banff and Milk River, Alberta, serving in the Legion there. Because of his love of cars, he also started the “Legion Taxi,” a taxi service in Banff which is still in operation. He eventually turned to carpentry, building houses in Banff, Canmore, Milk River and eventually two in Nakusp after relocating to B.C. in 1979. He continued work-
ing as a carpenter until retirement. Rocky made a lot of friends doing his morning coffee run to the K2 Rotor Lodge, and was frequently in great spirits. Restaurant Manager Gillian Heagy remembers Beattie fondly, “He had a nickname for all of us. I think it helped him remember our names. Mine was Jack and Jill, and he called the morning staff Bright Eyes or Sunshine, which they loved. He was quite the charmer.”

RDCK backs alternative recycling program GreG Nesteroff Black Press
The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) says it supports having a choice in paper and packaging recycling after hearing a pitch from a potential competitor to industry stewardship group Multi-Material BC. Neil Hastie, development director for StewardChoice Enterprises, spoke to the board Thursday by phone. The company, a subsidiary of Toronto-based Reclay StewardEdge, has managed recycling
programs in Ontario, Manitoba, and Germany. “We are at a crossroads in B.C. when it comes to recycling packaging and printed paper,” Hastie said. “There will either be the continuation of a monopoly or choices for local governments and other important stakeholders.” The company is seeking approval from the Ministry of Environment to offer its own program and promises to fill gaps left by Multi-Material BC by signing up hold-out producers. Mu lt i - Mate r i a l
BC, which launched its program in May to meet a provincial mandate that firms pay the cost of recycling their own packaging, hasn’t yet been able to offer service to rural areas of the regional district. However, it is paying for curbside pick-up in Nelson, Castlegar, Kaslo and Nakusp. The regional district board initially refused to sign a contract with MultiMaterial BC, saying it would not cover all the costs, but later changed its mind, worried that not signing up could result in a drastically reduced depot system. However, it was told it would have to wait until 2015. The regional district opted to keep the status quo and continue offering recycling services at a cost of over $900,000 it otherwise would have saved. Hastie said Steward Choice’s approach is “to work closely with communities and recycling providers to allow service to continue the way it currently operates. What service residents are receiving should be continued without disruption.” Asked how the company could afford to do that, Hastie

replied that it would be more efficient and have lower overhead than Multi-Material BC. The company received plaudits from several directors, including chair John Kettle who called Multi-Material BC “a disaster for the most part for rural areas.” “Right now we have no other options,” he said. “Competition gives us opportunities. We may end up with a program that works and still lets us cut taxation.” Rural Kaslo director Andy Shadrack called Multi-Material BC “dictatorial” and their fencing and staffing requirements on rural depots “absolute bullshit.” “They say they want to take us on, but it’s still on their terms. We would have to reduce recycling depots and I don’t want to do that. StewardChoice says if we want to keep running the program, that’s fine.” Other directors were skeptical, including rural Nelson rep Ron Mickel, who said, “It sounded too good to be true. They still need producers signing up so I’m a little leery.” Although some producers have signed letters of in-

Hastie said it would require political pressure on Environment Minister Mary Polak to speed things up. The board agreed to urge her to allow competition in the field. Meanwhile, the regional district continues to talk to MultiMaterial BC about getting away from strict site requirements.

Environmental services manager Uli Wolf said while they have also spoken to StewardChoice, he expects it could be anywhere from four months to a year and a half before the company can make commitments. “We need to be realistic in our expectations from StewardChoice,” he said. “It will be very difficult to get into that market and offer a ‘we cover everything’ service.” Rural Nelson director Ramona Faust also
asked why industry doesn’t just reimburse the regional district for the service it’s already providing. “Let us do what we do and offset the taxes,” she said. “It’s simplistic, however it’s probably the best model for us.” Last month the board met with a Ministry of Environment manager and sent the message that it wants to be at the top of the waiting list for Multi Material BC services.

It’s the Columbia River’s fifty year treaty anniversary Liz Bevan Times Staff
Fifty years ago on September 16, Canada and the United States signed the Columbia River Treaty — the agreement that outlines the development and operation of four dams designed for power generation and flood control between the two countries. Signed by Canadian Prime Minister John Diefenbaker and U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower in 1961, the treaty went into effect on Sept. 16, 1964, after funding for the dams was calculated and negotiations were complete. While flood control was already on the mind of both governments, the treaty was deemed necessary by both countries after the 1948 flood that left a path of destruction from Trail to Astoria, Oregon, washing away infrastructure. It took a few years of research and writing reports and proposals to get a final draft ready to be signed. Gord DeRosa, chairman of the Canadian Columbia River Forum and board member of the Columbia Basin Trust, says the agreement was historic and to this day, is a treaty that should be held as an example. “The treaty itself is probably one the best international treaties,” he said. “It is used as
a model (elsewhere) and it has served both nations extremely well.” The signing of the treaty provided flood protection for the Trail and Castlegar areas and led to the creation of the Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) as a way to address the financial and sociological impact of floods and relocations. Nearly 2,500 people were relocated to build the dams and large tracts of fertile land were lost during construction. Three Canadian dams — Duncan, Mica and Keenleyside — were built between 1964 and 1973 as a direct result of the treaty as well as one in Libby, Montana. Canada was paid a lump sum at the signing of the treaty to cover the annual flood control benefits in the U.S. and receives half of the potential power generation financial benefits. The first 30 years of the treaty payments were covered in a lump sum payment of $264 million in 1964, with annual payments starting in 1998. The original agreement gave the U.S. nearly 20 square kilometres of water storage space behind three separate dams. Once they were built, the benefits were shared between the two countries, both financially and in terms of flood protection. Part of the original treaty stated that the agreement would be held in place for a min-
Real-life Grinch steals children’s dirtbikes Trisha shanks Arrow Lakes News
Sometime between dinner on Saturday and early Sunday morning, one or more individuals quietly helped themselves to four motorized kids’ vehicles from their grandparents’ home in the neighbourhood of Glenbank. The keys were not in the ignitions, yet the vehicles were all removed from the premises and are still missing. On October 19 Nakusp RCMP received a report of the stolen dirt bikes. They are described as follows: 2002 Honda 50 CC (red and white, front forks are twisted) 2004 KTM SX 65 CC (orange with decals that said “shirtless”) Early 90s Yamaha DRZ 80 (homemade pink custom plastic panels with fox stickers) 2004 Polaris kids quad (green) front bumper missing. The vehicles provided four of the
Lindgrens’ grandchildren (ages 7 to 11) with endless hours of fun at their grandparents’ acreage, where they were used often and as recently as the previous weekend. Mother of two of the victims, Rosalyn Lindgren spoke to the Arrow Lakes News, “We’re really sad for the kids — the fact that someone could do that to children.” Despite the fact that the items were older, the loss is huge. Lindgren estimates the replacement value for used equipment in the neighbourhood of $5500 and new to be more like $12,000. “We are hardworking people. It’s not easy to replace such a huge loss,” she added. When her boys were told about the theft, they were heartbroken but Mom says they are handling it as well as can be expected. If anyone has information in regards to the thefts they are asked to contact the Nakusp RCMP.
imum of 60 years. If either Canada or the United States want to change or terminate the treaty, they have to give written notice, 10 years in advance. Tuesday is the first day that is possible. Some amendments are already being discussed after numerous conferences and public input sessions. When the treaty was signed, says DeRosa, the environment wasn’t an issue, but over the last few years, both sides have gathered public opinions and published formal reviews on the issue and the resounding answer has been to update the document regarding wildlife and environmental impact. “When you think about these ecosystems, it doesn’t stop at the 49th parallel,” said DeRosa. “Back then, there was no sensitivity to ecosystems. The only things addressed were flood control and power generation. It has done that, but now we have to have a third leg to the story — the ecosystems.” One environmental issue that stands out for DeRosa is the lack of salmon in the Upper Columbia River. “Hopefully, (negotiators) can see the benefit of returning the salmon to the Upper Columbia River,” he said. “The salmon were stopped by a dam in 1939 to 1942, but now is the time to start throwing the salmon back in. I am really optimistic that, and
NDP vote new federal candidate in SOWK Liz Bevan Times Staff
The New Democrats of South Okanagan-West Kootenay (SOWK) have voted in their federal candidate. After a weekend vote, local members of the NDP voted for Richard “Dick” Cannings to run on behalf of the party for the 2015 federal election. The Penticton native is an avid birder, author, environmentalist and biologist with experience in government and says he will do his best to represent the SOWK electoral district. “I look forward to taking the campaign throughout the riding in the months to come,” he said. “I’m humbled to be nominated and excited to be part of Tom Mulcair’s team, offering Canadians a real alternative to the Harper Conservatives in the 2015 election.” If he is elected by voters in the SOWK riding, Cannings will replace four-term NDP Member of Parliament Alex Atamanenko. Thomas Mulcair, federal NDP leader, says Cannings is the right choice for the job. “A brilliant mind, Dick’s commitment to his community and the environment are indisputable,” he said in a release issued after the
maybe not in my time, we will see salmon back in the Upper Columbia.” Over the last couple of years, the United States side of the treaty, made up of the Bonneville Power Authority and the U.S. Corps of Engineers, has expressed its belief that it has been paying Canada too large of an annual entitlement. Currently, the payments to Canada have averaged around $250 million per year. DeRosa thinks their ideas are a bit off base. “Fifty per cent of the power generated as a result of the water Canada sends to the U.S. comes back by way of energy,” he said. “We can sell it for almost $350 million per year; water is pretty valuable stuff. I heard first hand at a convention that the top officials down there (in the U.S.) that they expect to be paying 10 per cent of what they are paying now. It is okay for them to say that, but you have to think, what is flood control worth to the U.S.?” Regardless of financial debate, DeRosa says he is optimistic about the future of the treaty. “I think that both sides will realize that we have to make the best of what we have and at the end of the day, all will be well,” he said. “I would expect the treaty to carry on and just make improvements as we go along.”

Editorial Our View
Interior Health Authority
There are going to be some residents who question why the Interior Health Authority is putting resources into Ebola response. How can the disease that’s infecting and killing thousands in western Africa show up in B.C.? However, consider that there have been confirmed cases in Texas, while there have been several individuals across Canada tested for Ebola-like symptoms. We live in a world that is increasingly small, with local residents travelling well beyond our valley for employment, recreation and humanitarian efforts. As an example, a school district in the North Okanagan-Shuswap area recently agreed to students going to China instead of the original destination, Ghana, which has been impacted by Ebola. It’s entirely reasonable to think that someone from here may be in western Africa or another destination, such as Texas, where Ebola is present. As a result, IHA has to be prepared for someone with Ebola-like symptoms to walk into a hospital. What will the initial response be from medical personnel? Where will the patient be quarantined from everyone else? What resources will be needed in an Interior community to ensure the patient is treated properly and sufficient steps are taken to prevent the possible spread if Ebola is diagnosed? The B.C. Nurses Union has raised alarm bells about the health authority’s ability to handle a case of Ebola and, as health care professionals, nurses provide a wealth of expertise. But everyone at the table — doctors, nurses, technicians, etc. — need to work co-operatively instead of fingerpointing or pursuing individual mandates. Obviously we hope Ebola does not arrive in our area, but if it does, all of us, residents and medical personnel, need to ensure we are prepared.

When the rose hips are red, and the leaves are yellow and brown, it is time to harvest these nutritional darlings, as the health benefits will not let you down. I know many people that suffer from the pain and stiffness of chronic osteoarthritis, especially at this time of year. Studies suggest you may find some comfort from using rose hips to treat the symptoms. This fruit contains 25 times more vitamin C than oranges, and can help ease and reduce symptoms of osteoarthirstis, and help sore, achy joints function better. They are also an excellent source of vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, and K. Rose hip has long been used as an ingredient for herbal tea and is sometimes enjoyed in syrups, jellies and even wine. This dark red fruit is certainly no stranger to the world of alternative medicine and could be described as a nutritional superstar with its high iron and vitamin content. It has an antioxidant potential even greater than that of blueberries. It’s also a good source of flavonoids, the phytonutrients that have received so much attention for their beneficial health properties.

Harvesting rose hips is very straightforward. They are perfect for picking after they have been touched by the first fall frost, when they are the sweetest. They should always be removed from the stem of the rose plant, and the hips should be firm with a little give in texture and bright red or orange in color. If any of the hips on the plant are shriveled or are not the right color, do not collect them; they will not go to waste, as they will provide a great treat for the birds, rabbits, squirrels, and deer in the area. The color of rose hips varies, but in general, orange hips are not quite ripe, and deep red hips are overripe. Overripe hips are sweet, but have lost much of their vitamin C. I usually dry a whole bunch to use in tea, and to make jellies and syrups over the winter months, but this year I’m also going to try something a little different. The following recipe was given to me by a good friend of mine and is one of his favorites. Hope you enjoy!

Council meeting highlights The Nakusp City Council met on Tuesday October 14, one day after the Thanksgiving holiday Monday. Motogiro representative Dave Marshall presented Council with the report that the event held in September involving timed old-time motorcycle races on the Hot Springs Road and his association’s intention to have the event become an annual one, occuring each September. Discussions will be ongoing. The Council heard updates from the Village CAO Linda Tynan regarding the status of outstanding actions on Council Resolutions including the unsightly property located be-
hind the Esso and speed control along both Broadway and 8 Ave. Mayor Karen Hamling, Councillor Guy Duchaine and Councillor Ulli Mueller each gave a verbal report concerning their experiences of the UBCM (Union of British Columbia Municipalities) conference held from September 22-26 in Whistler. Mayor Hamling spoke about the Mayor’s Caucus, policing and mental health, community forests and carbon offsets, more hospital beds, the ferry and use of the backup ferry, and Nakusp’s recycling program. Councillor Duchaine lauded the experience of attend-
ing the UBCM and shared his experiences. His sessions included rural business development funding and another on proposed changes to the way in which paramedics and other medical services are used in rural areas. Councillor Mueller gave her report concerning changes to recycling and possible relocation of the recycling depot to the landfill site, upcoming events with the Nakusp and Area Development Board, the search for a suitable site for the Renaissance Faire, the Mushroom Festival's was great success, the Arrow Lakes Grape Growers seeking funding assistance and her participation in the Communi-
ties in Bloom judges visit which happened in the middle of July. While Nakusp ranked high with urban forest, floral displays, beautifully kept residential yards and strong heritage, it was noted that signage on the entrances to town is poor and none of the public garbages provided recycling compartments for drink containers. Mueller also attended the UBCM and brought back news about changes to B.C. building codes vs. fire department response times, green energy and a WorkBC trade show installation she would like to see brought to Nakusp Secondary School entitled “Find Your Fit.” where students can try some of the skills
needed for future careers. Councillor Zeleznik submitted his report in writing mainly concerning NACFOR and cutting permit development in Summit Lake and Galena. Many residents of Summit Lake are concerned that any logging in the area will destroy toad populations. NACFOR is working with Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program biologists to fund and research the impact that logging in the area would have on the toads. Council voted on cash dividend disbursements to various non-profits in the area including the Rotary Club, the Legion, the Ski Club, Trails Society and
Commemoration of 100th anniversary of WWI ARROW LAKES HISTORICAL SOCIETY PRESENTS SLIDE SHOW OCTOBER 24 TRISHA SHANKS Arrow Lakes News
2014 marks the 100th anniversary of World War I which broke out on June 28, 1914. It lasted for nearly five years, ending on November 11, 1918. Although record keeping varied from one country to another and not everyone can agree on exactly how many people perished or went missing during this time, the commonly accepted figure for casualties totals approximately 37 million with 21 million of those dead. Some of these men were from the Kootenays. The Arrow Lakes Historical Society offers an opportunity to learn more about their stories. On Friday, October 24 at 7 p.m. it will present a WWI slide show featuring photos from the era and the region’s contributions to the Great War. All are invited to attend the show. The Archives are housed in the new addition to the Nakusp Public Library building accessed on the side of the building
others. Discussion ensued about future disbursements and changes to the grant application process. Council touched on Bergevin Electical’s ongoing investigation of the possible development of a small hydropower project on Gardner Creek as well as to decide on a request for possible expansion of the Nakusp airport hangar. Councillor Hughes took the opportunity to address growing public concerns about

Tough start to season
The Nakusp Pee Wee House Falcons played host to Grandforks 1 in their first league game of the season. Family and friends filled the stands and flocked to the concession for their first rink burger of the year. The two small teams hit the ice at 5 p.m. and the first period saw both teams evenly matched. Part way through the second period the visiting team took over and scored 7 unanswered goals. Falcons tried to battle back in the third period, getting numerous shots on net only to have the posts being rung and the large goalie blocking shots. Highlight of the night was the large 50-50 ticket being claimed by a Falcons parent. The Falcons travelled on Sunday back to Grandforks for a rematch. The Falcons again were out played by the host team. Nakusp set up many nice plays and managed to get some shots on net, but could not find the back of the net. Final score was 11-0. Falcons travel to Beaver Valley next weekend and have their next home game on Saturday, November 1 at 11:45 a.m. vs. Grandforks 2.

Seniors’ Column MARILYN BOXWELL Seniors’ column
As most of us are already aware, seniors as well as individuals of all age categories are not entirely immune to being subjected to foodborne illness. For this reason, anyone who prepares, serves or cleans up food intended for public consumption — including items intended and made available for sale or otherwise by volunteers and non-profit organizations as well as commercial operations — should be aware that under the law, certification with Foodsafe is man-
datory. Foodsafe is B.C.’s food safety, handling and sanitation course designed to equip foodservice workers and volunteers with the knowledge and skills necessary to apply proper food handling and preparation techniques. The overall purpose is to ensure that appropriate safety measures are applied in order to prevent food-borne illness. A broadened certification delivery system designed for rural and remote location residents such as those within the Nakusp region, is now available. The Foodsafe Level 1 correspondence and self-study version of the course has been implemented. Register, study at home, take the exam locally and no online content or classroom participation is required.
The Foodsafe level 1 training course covers important food as well as worker safety information and include such topics as prevention of foodborne illness, the proper receiving and storing of food, how to safely prepare and serve food as well as the proper cleaning and sanitizing techniques to be applied. This is a one-day session and takes approximately eight hours to complete. For further details including fees relevant to becoming certified through correspondence, please call (604) 633-9787 ext 232. The website address is www.go2hr. ca.

A grand start and end to the Jr. Cougars’ soccer season RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
It was a weird season for the junior boys soccer team; the fallout from the prolonged strike resulted in the cancellation of two mainstay tournaments: Creston and our home tournament in Nakusp. These important tournaments act as cornerstones of the Cougars’ soccer season. The ensuing chaos created a difficult environment for the coaches at Nakusp Secondary School who struggled along with the rest of the province to salvage any sort of a season for the boys. Thanks to the efforts of veteran coach Rod Morrison who managed to wrangle together a few teams from around the Koo-
tenays and Okanagon, the Jr.’s had an opportunity to travel out of town and don their cleats for a play day in Grand Forks. On October 16 the boys piled into the bus on a cold rainy morning and headed south to play their first and last group of games for the year. The rain didn’t let up as the team arrived at the school field to square off against the familiar blue and gold Creston squad. The rainy conditions combined with the “off the bus” nerves caused the Cougars to scramble at the start of the match, resulting in some poor decisions and a greasy goal that slipped through keeper Ben Gardner’s hands. Once the body and the team accli-

matized to the taxing conditions, the grinding efforts of Nakusp opened up the field and created opportunities for the Cougars to apply the lessons and skills learned during practice. The contest slowly tipped from a defensive game to a continuous offensive drive as the forward attackers pressed through the blue and gold wall. Cool and tenacious efforts from the Cougar midfield provided the key into the offensive’s 18 yard box as the ball found passing lanes along the touch lines into the Creston zone. Several times Brayden Reardon’s true grit moxie and skill managed to muscle the ball up the sides and into the danger zone to create cookie opportunities. The Cougars never let up the pressure even when Creston unloaded a skilled shot from 40 yards outside the net placing the ball deftly in the top right corner. “Nothing you can do about that,” coach Morrison said. “That was a hell of a shot.” The 0-2 loss, nor the onslaught of rain and wind, didn’t deter the boys as our bench was simply turned around for the immediate next match on the adjacent field against Boundary Central. Compared to the smaller, quick passing unit from Creston, the Boundary kids in blue and white looked like giants on the pitch. But bending up at the neck, the Cougars did not shy away from meeting the challenge of their sizable opponents and pitched their faith in Morrison’s game plan. Undaunted, the Cougars put shoulder to shoulder and battled hard for possession in the boiling pot around the middle of the field and managed to stand their own in the scrums. However, an unlucky bounce over the head of keeper Alex Roberts seemingly favored size over guts as the Cougars fell to an early deficit of 0-1. The strikers rotated, and the game was far from
over as the Jr. Cougars refused to let up or be intimidated by the blue monsters. Connor Scambler embodied Cougar tenacity as he raced headlong into the o-zone. His continued pressure eventually yielded results as Scambler won the ball deep in the Boundary zone and a quick turn and pass to the centre found an unattended Tim Barisoff who squarely pocketed the first goal for Nakusp. Energized, the boys’ creativity and hustle uncovered a multitude of offensive lanes to the net, but a combination of bad luck and youthful exuberance did not yield any more results. The game was left at a tie. Next up were the hosts at Grand Forks, and the Cougars were primed and ready to play. The jitters were gone, the first goal was under their belt and even the rain let up a little for the duration of the final match. Eric Vieira started things off on the right foot after an impressive feed from Reardon in the first two minutes of the game which allowed for an uninhibited shot on goal that sailed over the keeper and into the net. Vieira continued to dominate the offensive line as the skilled play of the halfbacks continued to feed the cookie machine with chances. Seemingly inspired by the flurry of chances, the Cougars found their stride and opened up a number of opportunities for goals from all sides of the net. Before the whistle signaled the end of the first half the Cougars were rewarded with another goal from a blistering kick from Kiernan Troute, which jammed the ball through the keepers hands an into the net. The good times continued to roll in the second half as big saves from keeper Ben Gardner propped up the spirit of the team and an impressive game-ending goal delivered from left field to the top right corner of the net by Brody Herridge ended the day with a positive 3-0 win for the Cougars.

Anyone with a bird feeder will have noticed Steller’s Jays in their yard. And even if you don’t have a feeder these large dark blue birds are fairly easy to see. Many people incorrectly refer to them as Blue Jays. But true Blue Jays are a much paler blue and have extensive white in their plumage. They are generally restricted to the east side of the Rockies, although their numbers have been increasing in B.C. in recent years. In contrast, Steller’s Jays are found almost exclusively west of the Rocky Mountains. Jays are members of the same family as the crows and ravens, and therefore have some of the same behaviours. While many people are aware that crows and ravens will rob other birds’ nests of their eggs and young, most do not realize that jays practise this same bad habit! All members of the family are known as omnivorous feeders, that is, they will eat a wide variety of foods including both plant and animal items. At feeders, jays are often seen shoveling seeds into their beaks as fast as they can. It would seem they are picking up more seeds than their mouths can possibly hold. And they are!

Later in the winter, when food normally becomes harder to find, they will dig up their reserves!

fers, and located close to the top of the tree, on a branch near the trunk. Almost 70 per cent of the nests are situated between 2 and 5 metres above the ground. Steller’s Jays begin nesting quite early in the year; nests with eggs have been found in early April. One rather interesting skill possessed by this species is its ability to mimic other birds. We generally just hear a lot of loud raucous sounds coming from jays, but on occasions they will break into a series of

complex and varied phrases, made up of sounds copied from other species. At times, their imitations are good enough to fool unsuspecting birders! In 1987 the Steller’s Jay was declared the official provincial bird of British Columbia. The declaration came following a province wide vote to select a bird in which 80,000 residents cast a vote. Perhaps the voters weren’t aware of this bird’s nest robbing tendencies!

Metis program offers support group for parents
Sheri regnier Arrow Lakes News
A newly formed society in the West Kootenay and Boundary region calls upon a traditional approach to healing that uses the mind, body and spirit. Bev Gillard, a member of the Ochapowace First Nation in Saskatchewan, is now a local Aboriginal Elder who draws from her life experience when she sits in with the
Metis Traditional Parenting and Personal Healing group that convenes Thursdays in Trail. She opens each meeting, or healing circle, with smudging — a cleansing ritual that uses smoke from traditional sacred medicines such as cedar, sage and sweetgrass to purify or cleanse negative energy, feelings or thoughts from a place or a person. Following prayer, the gathering opens
when a symbolic object, such as a talking stick, is given to a group member who wishes to speak. It is then passed around the circle in sequence to others who wish to speak. “We are here to support each other,” said Gillard. “It is heartfelt stuff that can be something painful with the shedding of tears, or it can be happiness and we laugh. But the circle is not a hierarchy. Nobody is better than any-
one and we all listen and respond to each other for support and help.” The support group is one of four programs offered through the Circle of Indigenous Nations Society (C.O.I.N.S.), which is an Aboriginal non-profit registered in 2013. The society is guided by an Elders Advisory Council (board of directors) made up of seven elders living in the region. The board includes Trail’s Faye Poiri-

Nakusp youth centre first anniversary
The Nakusp Youth Centre (NYC) and Kootenay Parkour and Development are hosting a Zombie Survival Haunted House event open to everyone in the community. There will be tests of skill, rewards, frights and fun, all geared towards surviving a Zombie Apocalypse! On October 31 from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Nakusp Youth Centre, the Haunted House will be open to visitors looking for a Halloween celebration to attend. This is both an anniversary celebration and a fundraiser for youth
programming at the centre, and for parkour programs. The entrance fee is $5 for every group of 4 or $1.50 per person. The event is open to all community members. When the NYC started out, it was on a three month trial basis. After one year, it continues to provide a safe and engaging environment for youth to socialize and involve themselves in the community. With the funds collected, both host businesses will be able to provide better equipment, and more and better programs to our local youth.
Cassia Parent, the NYC coordinator, said, “This is about youth engaging in community and in their youth centre activities.� In keeping with that sentiment, instead of throwing a party for the youth, the centre has decided to actively involve them in the planning and execution of the event. Come in and see what potential our youth have for the future. To learn more, visit www. facebook.com/NakuspandAreaYouth or contact Cassia Parent at (250) 265-2000 or cassia@nays.ca.

Seventy-second in an alphabetical series on West Kootenay/Boundary place names. Glendevon was a community on the west side of Upper Arrow Lake south of Nakusp, between Birds Landing and West Demars, originally known as Forest Glen. According to Kate Johnson’s Pioneer Days of Nakusp and Arrow Lakes, its name was inspired by pioneer Robert Glendenning (1847-1907). Another theory has it that Agnes Menzies (1878-1942) named Forest Glen after a place in Scotland about 1923-24. Forest Glen school opened in 1929, but when the post office moved there from West Demars, it used the name Glendevon because there was already a Forest Glen post office in Nova Scotia. The Arrow Lakes News of March 12, 1931 announced: “A new post office will be opened up at Forest Glen … under the name of Glendevon … With the opening … the name Forest
Glen will be a thing of the past.” The post office closed in 1942, along with the school, which was still named Forest Glen. GRAHAM LANDING This settlement in the Columbia River Narrows opposite and a little north of Burton was named for Alexander James Graham (18671943), who had a farm and small sawmill there. According to Milton Parent in Port of Nakusp, Graham moved there with his wife Margaret and daughter Lillian late in 1903. Graham Creek was also named after them. Lillian is absent from the 1911 census, but by that time another daughter, Beatrice, had been born. Graham Landing then boasted a population of 42. The post office opened on June 1 that year with Graham as postmaster. He held the job until 1943, when Beatrice took over. The office closed in 1949. What remained of the community by the 1960s was a casualty of the Keenleyside dam.

Throughout his life where Beattie went, the fun followed. His niece says that back in Canmore days he could often be found at festive dinners “with my brother and several of his friends, the girls
doing the cooking of course.” In recent years, Beattie had a regular route he followed for afternoon cocktails with friends on good days, and will be sadly missed by all of those who knew him.
