During the last two council meetings, Councillor Hughes requested an official Village response to swelling public concerns about the proposed logging by Nakusp and Area Community Forest (NACFOR) in the blue-listed western toads’ habitat. He was shot down by his colleagues, with the mayor requesting additional information from NACFOR itself. According to B.C.’s Ministry of Environment, a blue listed species is “particularly sensitive to human activities or natural events. Blue-listed elements are at risk, but are
not Extirpated, Endangered or Threatened.” According to published numbers, fewer than half of the amount were carried to safety during this year’s Toadfest compared to previous years. Wayne McRory, Biologist with the Valhalla Wilderness Society Conservation Programs wrote a letter to the Village and copied it to concerned private citizens, media outlets and several government bodies. McRory wrote, “NACFOR runs a very high risk of causing considerable loss of thousands of toadlets that the taxpayer has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars saving and that hundreds of citizens have directly saved

• Continued from page #1 “Mushrooms grow naturally in certain little micro climates, pockets and patches that are ideal for their growth. It is possible for the two industries to coexist. My family grew up on logging,” Hewat explains while sorting pines by hand. “They don’t grow everywhere; just small spots in the forest. In hindsight, things like selective logging, saving sections probably could have been done but it hasn’t.” Janis Dahlen of Jan and Dan’s Mushroom Station echoes the same sentiment. “Clear cutting—it takes the mushrooms right out and it could be 80 years before they grow back. We’ve worked the last couple of years with Nakusp and Area Community
Forest (NACFOR) to do some strip logging to try to preserve some of the mushroom areas. But (much of it is) being logged as we speak and the mushrooms will never come back. Logging is our first industry in Nakusp. It’s a hard mix.” Frances Swan, Project Manager with NACFOR stated, “Mushrooms are an example of a non-statutory resource; there are no tenures issued to mushroom pickers, there are no royalties on the mushrooms and declaration of revenue (i.e. subject to provincial and federal taxes) is voluntary. Nevertheless NACFOR tries to address the mushroom resource as best as it can.” NACFOR are issued a small forest tenure license compared to some larger com-

For years, Nakusp artists had a gallery of work displayed inside Selkirk College during the summer months when there were no classes. “Having volunteers sitting in the gallery took them away from their art,” says former Arrow Lakes Fine
Art Guild (ALFA) President Denyse Marshall. “And it was a lot of work, overall, to organize it.” The idea was scrapped but has been replaced with ALFA Artwalk — a combination of the former Nakusp Artwalk and the newer Saturday Art Tour. This year Nakusp and area enjoyed a successful Art-

Roy (Rocky) Francis Beattie of Nakusp, B.C. passed away October 10th at the Arrow Lakes Hospital in Nakusp. He was predeceased by his parents Doris and Frank, his brothers Jim, Don, Bruce, and his sister Ruth. He is survived by nieces Sandra Beattie of High Prairie, AB, Brenda Beattie of Woodlawn, ON, Kathy Wheatley of Victoria, BC, Stacy and Denna Goldhahn of Bozeman, Montana; nephews Bill Beattie of Slocan, BC, Brian and Allan Goldhahn of Bozeman, Montana, and brother in-law Henry Goldhahn of Bozeman, Montana. There will be a memorial service November 1 at 2 p.m. in the Legion Hall in Nakusp. The Legion was an important part of Rocky’s life both in service and recreation, so in lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 20, Box 137, Nakusp, B.C. V0G 1R0. The Beattie family would like to thank Dr. Goranson, the staff at the Arrow Lakes Hospital and the caregivers from Spectrum Home Support for the care given to Roy Beattie these past few months. A community member recently told me not only does it take a community to raise a child but also to aid a senior to move on. Thank you to the community of Nakusp.

Lessons to learn
There are lessons to take away from last Wednesday’s shootings on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The first one — one that played out in front of radio listeners and TV viewers throughout the day — is not to over-react. After Michael Zehaf-Bibeau shot Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and made a beeline for the Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings, those tasked with security there did their duty. They tried to stop him at the main entrance. They followed the man as he headed down the Hall of Honour, near where the NDP and Conservative caucuses were meeting, and continued to exchange gunfire with him. Finally, Sergeant at Arms Kevin Vickers was able to fire at him and bring him down. The media coverage of the events of the day was ongoing, but it was not filled with over-reactions. Instead, it was done in a moderate tone, with facts relayed as they became available. The only portion which may have been overdone was constant replaying of the grainy video, taken on a cellphone. An investigation is underway, and it includes a detailed look at a video the shooter left behind. It is clear that the man felt disconnected from society and that he was at least influenced by messages from ISIS on social media. He also had been a crack cocaine addict. Beyond that, it is unclear what influenced him. The federal government needs to take the same approach — move slowly and not over-react. There is no need for drastic changes to laws which will impact on freedoms of ordinary people. The second lesson is that there is clearly a need for better security at the Parliament Buildings. Part of this may be due to a variety of forces being responsible for various aspects of security, but access to Parliament through the front door is too easy. If this had been a co-ordinated attack, there could have been enormous repercussions. The third lesson is the need for all political parties to co-operate more often, as shown in Thursday’s extraordinary actions in the House of Commons.

I am once again reminded of the value of owning or at least accessing a computer — whether a desktop, laptop or one of the latest pieces of equipment which serve to ensure we can more easily keep updated on a variety of interesting subjects. Mine is used on a daily basis. One of my favourite hobbies happens to be conducting research into family histories, which I have recorded on my machinery, over the years. I’m Scottish by birth and as time passed found it fascinating to learn that many of my ancestors had originated primarily in Norway. Throngs of hardy warriors had succeeded in making their way across the northern Scottish coastal waters during sixteenth centu-

ry medieval times. Eventually those rugged Viking warriors were to make their mark in the annals of history, relating in great and unmistakeable detail, their astounding, death-defying high-sea travels, concluding in the assimilation of the early Viking generations into my Scottish predecesors. This of course led to cultural amalgamation with the early Scots, (Pics, as they were referred to then), along with countless generations of other ethnic representatives dating back over a thousand years or more. Thanks to all the users, teachers, volunteers and supporters of the Nakusp Computer Access Centre, I have been able to sign up for a number of free and updated computer software programs which were recently installed on their units, whenever the opportunity has arisen. Over time, I have spent countless hours of genealogical study developing an interesting bank of Celtic family history data and anSelina Birk Creative Support

cestral information which filled a great deal of my available leisure time all along the way. We seniors are fortunate to enjoy fairly flexible schedules, allowing us valuable moments to read over manuscripts and other documents and, in time, learn of the benefits accorded by using a computer in order to record the knowledge of what we have already acquired. What’s more, our public library complements the Access Centre resources by sharing with us a variety of computer equipment and knowledgeable volunteers and staff who are ready to provide enthusiasm and assistance whenever called upon. One of the most popular interest groups is known as the Family History Society — a non-profit and relatively inexpensive recreational activity which can be enjoyed by friends and family members of all ages. Drop by the library or the Access Centre and become a part of a new and delightful voyage of discovery

As people age, hydration is more important than ever. Until recently, staff were regularly preparing containers of tap water and placing them into the fridge in the communal kitchen at Halcyon House Assisted Living Facility, to help ensure that residents were drinking enough fluids. With the purchase of a brand-new water and ice dispenser, the seniors now have access to fresh, filtered water by the glass. The new counter-height machine means getting a glass of ice water has never been easier or more sanitary. “Now that we have the water machine, staff is better able to nag the residents to drink their water,” Site Manager Robyn Hicks said with a chuckle, as many of the seniors prefer coffee to water. Its purchase was

The revitalization of ladies hockey in Nakusp Trisha shanks Arrow Lakes News
To coin Stompin’ Tom Connors, the ladies of Nakusp are once again taking to the ice to enjoy the best game you can name. After more than nine years’ hiatus, novice player Sheila Seaton is reviving Ladies Hockey in Nakusp. “I have always wanted to play hockey but for one reason or another, I never did and until recently I was too intimidated to try,” Seaton said. Finally taking the time to improve on her childhood skating abilities since the ice went in this fall, Seaton has also been practicing her hockey skills with the help of an experienced friend. Organizers are hoping that there is some used hockey gear laying around in people’s
basements which they are willing to lend or sell to newcomers so that the lack of equipment won’t be a deterrent to new players. Sarah Sanders played in the previous incarnation for five years, enjoying the comradery of other women and travelling to tournaments. She said it came to an end when the players started having kids or their own kids got old enough to play hockey, resulting in moms hanging up their skates. Figure skating her whole life, Sanders started playing hockey at 16. “It’s a fun way to get exercise.” Leah Gilliland, mother to Jake, who plays in the Atoms and Isaac who plays Peewee, says she is an “okay skater, but not good at hockey.” She is looking forward to wiping out the most on the team. There are a number

of seasoned players coming out but some of the women are very new to the game. All levels are welcome and the season begins Friday November 7. As of press time, thanks to Facebook recruiting and word of mouth, a dozen players are confirmed with a number of others showing interest and trying to find gear. For the month of November, ice time will be on Friday nights at 6:30 p.m. and possibly switching to different night depending
on what works for the team members. With the number of women interested, Seaton says it’s possible keep the cost under $125.00 per player for the season however, the final amount will be determined by the actual number of participants, the quantity of ice times and the cost of insurance. Anyone interested in playing or lending/ selling gear can contact Sheila Seaton at 250265-1998 or find her by the same name on Facebook.

A CUISINAARKT ER!*
The Pee Wee Falcons travelled to Beaver Valley The Pee Wee Falcons travelled to Beaver Valley on Saturday with the hopes of securing their first win of the season. With a small roster of nine skaters, the team was told to bring their “A” game to the ice and they did just that. Falcons opened up the scoring just one minute into the first period when Devon Coates found the back of the net from great pass from his wingman Ewan Carter. That same line struck again at the nine minute mark when Bailey Wallace got rough in front of the net and smacked a rebound in with the assists going to Carter and Coates. Coates put one more in before the first period ended with the assist going to defenceman Aidan Hascarl. Trail managed to
squeak one past goaltender Noah Fizzard leaving the Falcons up 3-1 at the end of the period. The Falcons dominated the second period. Just 30 seconds in, Wallace got her second of the game with the assist going to Carter. Coates followed that up with his third of the game at the 16-minute mark with the assists going to Carter and Wallace. Goaltender Fizzard put up a wall in the second letting no shots in. After a short break and ice clean, the Falcons started the third period with a 5-1 lead but Trail was determined to make a comeback. Trail put one in just three minutes into the third period and followed that up with one more. Coates got his fourth goal of

The Bonnington Arts Centre was near capacity on Wednesday, October 22 for the Jazz-Flamenco fusion that is Servantes. When the lights went down, audience applause met a floppy-haired, bespectacled man in jeans and red shoes resembling cowboy boots. He sat down on a low stool with a guitar across his lap. Keeping his head down, he began to play a haunting Latin-sounding melody. This was Patrice Servant. The song was a melodic version of “Caravan” by Rachael Portman. Soon the other three members came out to join him. The quartet is comprised of Servant on guitar, Yves Lacoursière on horns and piano, François Taillefer on
percusion and Naki on stick harp. The stick harp is a one-of-a-kind, 37-string instrument which combines guitar, bass, tanbur (like a sitar) and Troubadour harp. Throughout the evening, they played several different types of Latin music, from Flamenco to “Brazilian Afro-Samba” and a spirited version of Santana’s “Oye Como Va.” Concert goer Marilyn McKinnon thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment, saying it was “so entertaining. Best concert in a while. Thanks to Marilyn for bringing in such wonderful talent.” Molly Bell echoed the sentiment, “It was really good. I thought it was innovative, enlivening, and inspiring for this time of year. That drummer! He was amazing, he could play so many different drums at once!” referring to percussion-

often performs with different accompanying musicians, and revealed it had been about four years since the quartet had played together; the last time had been when they recorded a CD in 2010. The evening of world music was put on courtesy of the Arrow Lakes Arts Council, with talent hospitality provided by Casa Mandala.
