Youth showcase their moves at dance recital RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
The recently renamed dance school, Move on the Kusp, and the Arrow Lakes Arts Council presented this year’s recital entitled, Dance Again! at the Bonnington Arts Centre last weekend. By popular demand, the venue was booked for two days for two performances in an attempt to ensure that no prospective audience member would be turned away due to seat limitations. The house was packed for both nights.

This year’s performance marked a number of firsts for many of the dancers; first time in multiple performances with costume changes, first time taking ballet, and the celebration of the first time dancers have taken their performance to competitions outside of Nakusp. Mistress of Ceremonies, Marilyn Massey summed up the year of firsts for Move on the Kusp. “The dances have been working hard on building their knowledge of their steps and technique, supporting each other as teammates and most of all, having fun,” she said.

Entry to the recital was modestly ticketed with a portion of the proceeds from the door and the concession going to the creation of a subsidy program for youth in the Nakusp area to attend performing arts classes. Dance instructor Cassia Parent also took the evening’s opportunity to inform the audience of a new summer program of dance classes and thanked the audience and the Arts Council for their endorsement. “Your support of the performing arts and the youth in the performing arts is greatly appreciated,” she said.

The Nakusp Secondary School 2015 graduating class will celebrate 12 years of hard work and dedication to academic study with their banquet and convocation this weekend. The events will be the climax of fundraising and organizing efforts primarily by students and parents under the direction of lead parent organizer, Karen Surina and teacher sponsor, Tessa Wiseman. The grad class started their preparations back in 2014 when tradition necessitates grade 11 students volunteer to help work the banquet of the grad class ahead of them. In gratitude, the graduating students kick-start the fundraising initiatives by donating money during the convocation ceremony to the next graduating class. With the coffers primed, the 2015 grad class wasted no time getting down to work, and completed the majority of their fundraising efforts during a late summer bottle drive. The Friday grad banquet will begin with a promenade down Broadway Street on a float at 3:30 p.m.
with friend and family pictures to follow at the Nakusp waterfront at 4 p.m. The banquet will begin at 6 p.m. in the Nakusp Arena Auditorium and is themed The Great Gatsby (the Roaring 20’s). Academic and athletic awards will be presented during the banquet as well as speeches from staff, students and parents. The prom dance will follow the banquet. The students will return to the Nakusp Arena on Saturday at 1p.m. to participate in convocation and walk the stage to receive their diplomas. The organizers would like to remind graduates and guests that the banquet, prom and convocation are dry events and expect that there will be no substance use. Grad sponsor Tessa Wieseman would also like to acknowledge the efforts of Karen Surina and the countless hours parents dedicated to this event. “This has been a an incredible group of parents fundraising and volunteering for this event throughout the year who should all be commended,” Wiseman praised. “Together they are a class of incredible people who look out for one another, look for the right things in life, and speak out for what is fair.”
Nakusp hosts RV Club Spring Rally Escapees RV Club members came from BC and Alberta chantelle carter Arrow Lakes News
Driving past the campground you may have noticed the large gathering of RV’s behind the ball fields and a little more action than usual at the Seniors Hall. Nakusp members of the Escapees RV Club, Kathy Bone, Dave Buckrell and Doug and Penny Brownlie hosted fellow members from around B.C. and Alberta, for their annual spring rally. Escapees RV Club is one of the largest clubs in the industry
founded by Joe and Kay Peterson from Huntington Beach, CA on July 4, 1978. They were simply two working travellers who were enthralled with the RV lifestyle and wanted to make it the best it could be for themselves, their friends, and fellow travellers. Little did they know, one day their club would have over 100,000 members from all over the world. In 1984 they created their first chapter in California because members were afraid if the club got any bigger, Escapees would lose the close family feeling.

The Rally ran from June 2-5 right in the middle of a rain cycle but it didn’t seem to dampen the travellers’ spirits as they found respite in the Senior’s Hall to continue their fun. There were many promises of return to our “beautiful, little town.”

Inonoaklin versus Fire Valley GREG NESTEROFF Black Press
Ninety-third in a series on West Kootenay/Boundary place names The Inonoaklin or Fire Valley, on the west side of Lower Arrow Lake, above Edgewood, has a complicated naming history. Inonoaklin is also the name of a creek, mountain, and park. The creek first shows up on J.W. Trutch’s 1871 map of BC as “Inonoaklin R.” (Supposedly explorer Alexander Caulfield Anderson mentioned it on his 1867 map as well.) The Geographic Board of Canada officially adopted the name Inonoaklin Creek in 1904, choosing it over the alternative Sanderson Creek, and at the same time endorsed Fire Valley. The Nelson Daily News of Oct. 21, 1952 claimed “Inonoaklin means ‘wandering’ and describes the river of that name which empties into the Arrow Lakes here.” In the second edition of her Pioneer Days of Nakusp and Arrow Lakes (1964), Kate Johnson stated that Inonoaklin means “winding waters.” However, Randy Bouchard and Dorothy Kennedy wrote in Lakes Indian Ethnography and History (1985), “Presumably Inonoaklin is the anglicization of an Indian term, but we do not recognize it.” The stream was labelled Fire Valley Creek on an 1890 survey plan. The earliest known newspaper mention of that name is in the Vancouver Daily World of April 14, 1890: “Mr. Coryell, C.E., is surveying in the neighborhood of Fire Valley with the object of getting an easy pass over the divide for the line of the Kootenay and Okanagan Railway …” As to the origin of Fire Valley, the BC Minister of Mines report for 1901 said it was “so called from the fact that a fire swept up the valley and killed all the trees on both hillsides,” but didn’t give the date of the fire. Rose Wright elaborated in the Arrow Lakes News of June 19, 1958: “[L]egend has it was so named by the Indians who, from down the Columbia, made fishing and hunting trips up the river and lake each year. On one particular trip they found the whole valley on fire. A gigantic forest fire stretched from Killarney in a
crescent shape, ending at Needles.” Another theory suggests red granite surrounding the valley might have been the name’s origin. An application for the Fire Valley post office was filed in 1893, but it didn’t open until almost a year later. In 1906, the post office was renamed Needles, although it’s unclear whether it actually moved. The name reverted to Fire Valley in 1908 when a new Needles post office was established. The Fire Valley post office closed in 1930. According to the book Just Where is Edgewood, “In 1926 the valley name was changed from Fire Valley to Inonoaklin Valley … Some farmers felt the name Fire Valley was a deterrent to getting new settlers. They were instrumental in having that name changed.” L.J. Edwards of Nakusp criticized the move in the Slocan Enterprise of May 21, 1930: “Would it not have been much more appropriate and certainly more euphonious and most certainly easier spelling than the atrocious name applied to Fire Valley, with its pioneering history, in recent years by newcomers who had no hand in that history?” His letter brought an anonymous rebuttal the following week: “The change of name was only made after long discussion at the local Women’s and Farmer’s Institutes, and I only heard one old timer object to it and I might remind Mr. Edwards that people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones, as I fail to see where Nakusp sounds nearly as euphonious as Inonoaklin.” The same correspondent added in the Arrow Lakes News on June 1: “[W]e are a little bit sensitive at anyone poking fun at such a pretty name as Inonoaklin which name is derived from the Indian meaning ‘winding river.’ Mr. Edwards asks what harm can a name like Fire Valley do? Well the gentleman who first suggested changing the name was Mr. J.B. Munro, the present deputy minister of agriculture who at a largely attended meeting of the inhabitants of Fire Valley, told them that the only thing wrong with the valley was the name, which gave everybody acquainted with the place the impression that it was devastated by fire and no good for anything and that was the prevailing idea at Victoria and other places …” Today you’ll still hear both names, but Inonaoklin is much more common.

Police warn community of phone and email scam
Nakusp RCMP would like to warn members of the community of a CRA phone and email scam that has taken some people by surprise. They have received a number of complaints of people being called by someone claiming to be a representative from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and are being pressured into paying a non-existent debt. The fraudster is using threatening and coercive language, stating there is a warrant out for the potential victim and if they don’t pay the money, the police will be attending their homes. People are also being emailed a link to a website that looks to be the CRAs and asked to enter personal information. Constable Mark Macaulay advises the community to, “be vigilant and don’t provide any personal information over the phone. If you have any concerns, contact the police or go to the CRA website at www.cra.gc.ca. and call them using the number listed.” Macaulay went on to remind residents the Canada Revenue Agency will never ask for your information about your passport, health card or driver’s licence. They will also never leave personal information on answering machines, or ask you to do the same.
HALF-ACRE HAPPENINGS

Does the thought of turning up moist earth, sowing seeds and pulling weeds make your heart beat with excitement or your stomach sink with dread? Personally, I’ve found the answer to that question depends on where I’m at in life. As a small child, we would visit my Great Granny’s enormous vegetable and flower garden during summer vacation. It was a special treat to be escorted through her meticulously tended rows and feast on fresh picked peas on the porch step. To this day the taste of fresh peas brings back memories of her and the pride and passion she had for her vegetables and flowers. It was a happy time. Years later I tried several times with varying degrees of success to grow a decent garden and actually enjoy the process, but my heart just wasn’t in it. As a working mother of three small girls I was far too busy to be bothered with all that hard work. After my mother-in-law and resident gardener Marj moved away, our garden plot at the back of the house lay dormant under plastic for about five years. Any thought of starting it up again filled me with dread.

In the June 4 edition of the Arrow Lakes News regarding the article “Plenty to see and do at the Centennial Building,” it was stated Ken Williams was the Citizen of the Year. That honor was given to Len and Kathy Smith. Ken received the Lifetime Achievement Award.
In 2009 our family circumstances changed and the decision was made for my husband to work away from home. How would I fill the long summer without him? My salvation came in the form of a freshly tilled 20x40 foot plot of earth. I dug a maze of raised beds and used ladders and other household items to create functional works of art for cucumbers and nasturtiums to climb. I watched with glee as my children wound their way through the maze picking peas, beans & carrots. If I had to choose just one word to describe that garden it would be “healing”. Witnessing the fruits (and vegetables) of my labour in the garden that summer was the positive and restorative experience my soul craved. Message received Universe, I had found my passion for gardening at long last. Fast forward to present day where we are currently in our third season as half acre homesteaders. We have 20 strains of garlic in the garden out back and several perennial herb and flower beds. Our mission is to produce as much food, flowers, and revenue on our half acre as possible, sharing our journey with as many people as we can along the way. I think my Great Granny would be proud. If the thought of putting in a garden of your own does little to inspire you, you can still take part in the local food movement by visiting your neighbourhood farmers market.

A thoughtful and inspired way in which older citizens residing within the Nakusp region can make a significant difference in the lives of intellectually disabled persons, is to actively participate as a volunteer with Special Olympics Nakusp (SO). Founded several years ago within our own area, an enthusiastic team of athletes consisting at present of six registered athletes coupled with supportive community volunteers plays an
important role in the lives of each individual and their families. Examples of favourite sports activities include bocci, skiing, golf and curling along with joining together in fun events including community parades and picnics. Asked what are the expectations which SO Nakusp is seeking within its company of volunteers, board chair Hans Sparreboom, himself a retired school teacher, quickly responded,“volunteers must have a positive attitude, and be understanding, caring and committed.” “Older persons bring a great deal of life experience when volunteering with Special Olympics,” Sparreboom remarked adding that most of the SO volunteers are seniors and serve in a

• This Week in History • June 12, 1925 The annual meeting of the Nakusp Recreation Association was held in the small hall on Thursday, June 4 when the following officers were elected for the coming year: W.G.M. Hakeman, President; J.H. Vestruo, vice-president; E. Vipond, secretary; J.A. Parent, treasurer; B. Parkinson, grounds manager. It was decided to put on a July 1 celebration and the executive arranged to meet at the home of the president on Wednesday of that week. Considerable improvement is being made to the road from Marine Drive past the mill to town. Roadmaster H.W. Herridge has had a force of men employed and has reduced the grade at the mill so that today it is much easier to negotiate. That work was done at a surprisingly low cost, and the work on Broadway is now underway. The latter, when complete, will work a transformation in the appearance and utility of our main street. June 13, 1935 Two thousand dollars will be spent on the new wing at the Nakusp Hospital. The board of directors for the Arrow Lakes Hospital, at their monthly meeting last evening, decided to go ahead with the new wing to be built on the present hospital. Two thousand dollars has been promised by the government for this work, with payments to be made on progress estimates. Work on the Glenbank tennis courts was completed last week and play has commenced. The sport has promise of being popular this year. There is no fee to play this year; all one requires is a racket and balls. Arrangements for a tournament are being planned for the near future. June 14, 1945 H.W. Herridge, independent C.C.F., who cap-
tured West Kootenay in the Dominion election Monday rolled up a total of 5,388 votes. S.S. McDiarmid, Progressive Conservative, received 4,389 votes, while James Draper, Liberal, had 3, 357 and Frank Tracey, also a C.C.F., collected 1,171.

June 9, 1955 The Arrow Park District Waterworks have just completed the laying of new mains, which now completes the water service to all property owners. One main, 6,200-feet long, has been laid from Mauchline’s corner along the settlement road serving all the residents in the area. Another main was laid from the corner of the school lot along the road serving the new Morton place and the Murphy sawmill. Manufacturing of lumber was once again in operation this week at Dumont’s sawmill at Wilson Lake, near Nakusp. The mill was destroyed by fire earlier this spring, and has been completely rebuilt. The crew has been kept on to help construct the new site. June 10, 1965 The seventeen members of the Grade 12 class of Nakusp Secondary School were honored guests at a graduation banquet on Friday, June 4.

Anthropology key to future for Nakuspian CLAIRE PARADIS Arrow Lakes News
Last week the Commission for Truth and Reconciliation came out with the scathing conclusion that the treatment of aboriginal children in residential schools was “cultural genocide” and published a list of 94 recommendations to be implemented as soon as possible to address the effects of the residential schools that are still being felt. Current issues like this one are what fire Hailey McLeod’s passion for anthropology. Born and raised in Nakusp, McLeod had virtually no knowledge of First Nations, until she started taking courses through Selkirk College. “Growing up in Nakusp I didn’t know anything,” said McLeod. “I’m sure I’d heard of the Sinix’t but I did not learn about it in school.” It was only when she started taking peace studies, anthropology and First Nation studies classes through Selkirk College in Castlegar that she discovered what she wanted to delve into. “It just opened up this entire world of history…and I realized just how important the whole indigenous-colonial relation was.” It was a world McLeod felt she had an obligation to know and learn more about. “I feel like everyone should feel like they have an obligation. I think anyone who learns about it, and learns the history, the true history, not what you learn in grade four, I think you can’t learn that history and learn what it’s like today and not feel an obligation.” In her second year, McLeod wrote a paper inspired by Wade Davis about the way different systems of belief shape how we view the world. “We’ve been growing up looking at the world around us thinking, ‘logging’, or ‘is that a mountain we can mine’. How different it is if you have 2,000 years of history and oral tradition, and you have creation myths about that mountain. That mountain is where your people are from.” Transferring from Selkirk College to the University of Victoria was one shock, said McLeod, mostly because she didn’t find the amazing professors that she had expected. Unlike the educators at Selkirk whose focus was on learning, she found at UVic professors were mostly researchers who had to teach classes. Entering her fourth year in anthropology this fall, McLeod’s time there

has improved, but she still can’t say enough about the quality of education she received at Selkirk College. McLeod’s experience of different ways of seeing the world grew even more when she studied for a year in Santiago, Chile. Not knowing the language her university classes were being taught in was
It just opened up this entire world of history…and I realized just how important the whole indigenous-colonial relation was.
a huge challenge. “It was really, really hard,” she recounted. “My first day of classes I couldn’t even figure out what textbook I was supposed to buy and I didn’t even know how to ask the person next to me.” Fortunately, she was lucky enough to meet a group of Mexican students who were also out of their comfort zone and who could also speak a little English. Even so, proficiency in Spanish didn’t come to McLeod until after her university classes were over. She’s thankful now she can speak the language and she appreciates the experience of studying abroad.
One thing that struck her in Santiago was the racial segregation of the society. “On one side of the city were the indigenous people, and then it was like this spectrum of colour that just got whiter and whiter until on the other side of the city the people were Spanish and blond and white. You could actually walk for an hour and see the change [in wealth and ethnicity]. It was stark.” Reflecting on the experience, McLeod continued, “but I guess it’s the same here, you walk from West Hastings to East Hastings and you see the same thing.” The analogy isn’t exact or perfect, she qualified, but there are similarities. Contemporary issues of land, race, class and First Nations are not exactly simple either. McLeod, who has learned a thing or two in college, described the history of the land and treaties as “confusing.” The Okanagan Confederation of Tribes, the Ktunaxa, and the Shuswap all have claims on land here, and what makes it so complex, she said, is that western maps of chunks of private land do not reflect traditional pre-settler land usage and relationships. McLeod will be living in camp at Lemon Creek for six weeks working at the site, other than a trip to Washington state. Lithic analysis, linguistics and visits to important sites are all part of the experience, one that will give McLeod the certification to work as an archaeologist as well as credits at UVic. And working as an anthropologist connects her immediately with contemporary First Nation issues because land claims or treaties often require proof of occupation, which frequently comes from anthropological evidence.

Local author to read at library Survivor of Johnson’s Landing landslides tours new memoir in Nakusp
Leading up to the third anniversary (July 12 and 13) of the tragic 2012 landslides in Johnson’s Landing, author Amanda Bath is touring with her new memoir, Disaster in Paradise: The Landslides in Johnson’s Landing. She will be giving talks and presentations throughout the Kootenays to commemorate what the community lost and to help all British Columbians learn how to read the signs of an oncoming natural disaster. Join her for a book signing at the Nakusp Public Library on Monday, June 15 at 1 p.m. Books will be available for purchase. Disaster in Paradise is the first book about the 2012 Johnson’s Landing landslides — two natural disasters that devastated the picturesque Kootenay Lake community. The land-
slides made national headlines. Author Amanda Bath’s house was flattened by the first slide only an hour after she left the area, and when she returned less than twenty-four hours later to try to rescue her cat, she had less than a minute of warning before a second landslide completely buried what remained of her home. Amanda’s escape from the second landslide was caught on video by a news crew who had left the same beach minutes earlier and the footage went viral on YouTube. The process of writing Disaster in Paradise was like therapy for Bath, carrying her through the painful months that followed. Disaster in Paradise is the story of Bath’s trauma and healing, but it is also the story of a community as it joined to-
gether to mourn and gradually rebuild in the wake of tragedy. In total, the landslides destroyed six homes and killed four people. The book is both a chronicle of a BC tragedy and a warning for the future. With the increasing effects of climate change, disasters like this could easily happen again, and governments need to be prepared — British Columbians need to know the signs. Amanda Bath was born and raised in England and lived in London before moving to the tiny community of Johnson’s Landing in 1993. She holds a PhD in Catalan Literature and worked in human rights research for Amnesty International for a decade. Because her home in Johnson’s Landing was destroyed by the 2012 landslides, she now lives in Kaslo, with her husband Chris-
topher Klassen. This is her first book. For more information about this event, please contact the Nakusp Public Library at 250-265-3363.

It was the place to keep cool last Saturday at the Fauquier Community Hall when The Fauq Singers and guests presented Live Music. All types of musical genres were presented: sea shanties, folk, classical, rock, pop and country. The Fauq Singers opened the afternoon with two Canadian folksongs, then Yesterday by the Beatles and closed the afternoon with a medley from the movie O Brother Where Art Thou? There were 10 guests including singers and guitarists from Burton, Edgewood, Fauquier and a former Fauquierite from Revelstoke. Many comments were made on the talents we have in our local communities. The afternoon ended with all of the singers and guitarists leading the audience in an exciting rendition of You Are My Sunshine. Pictured: the Fauq Singers and guests. Photo submitted

state of emergency:
Cache creek
A few months ago, I wrote about the unexpected arrival of a White-eyed Vireo near Nelson. While that species does not really belong in this region, three other species of vireo are quite regular here. Vireos are small songbirds that are usually quite plainly plumaged. All three of the local species are generally greenish grey in colour with very few other markings. A vireos diet consists primarily of insects, although they may eat fruit and sometimes seeds. They are quite stocky in appearance and have stout bills; (quite unlike our insect eating warblers that are slender and have very fine bills). The behaviour of vireos is also quite unlike that of warblers. Warblers seem to be in a constant state of motion, rarely remaining still for more than a second or two. Vireos will often sit still for much longer periods while looking around for potential food items and watching for predators. When males are singing during breeding season, they may remain almost motionless for very longer periods of time. When I am out birding in the spring and early summer both warblers and vireos are almost always heard before they are seen. Once heard, a warbler’s constant motion makes them easier to detect – getting binoculars on them, however, is another matter; just when you think you know which branch they’re on, they have moved! Vireos, on the other hand, are much harder to locate. You hear them, but they may be sitting so still as to make them almost impossible to find within the leaves of a tree. Once found, though, they are much easier to observe. All three of the local vireos make quite distinctive nests. Each is a deep basket-like cup suspended by its rim from the branches of a horizontal forked twig. In the West Kootenay region, the first of our vireos to arrive in the spring is the Cassin’s Vireo. Typical arrival date in the Nakusp region is during the third week of April. (They may arrive a little earlier in the Trail–Castlegar area.) This species is greenish-grey above, white below with greenish flanks, and a prominent white ring around the eye. Second to arrive is the Warbling Vireo, typically in early may in Nakusp. This species is even plainer

than the Cassin’s. It is greenish above, pale below and has a light line above the eye. The last to arrive is the Red-eyed Vireo, typically appearing in Nakusp during the last week of May. A grey crown and narrow, alternating black and white stripes in the side of the head, make this species a little more distinctive. As the name suggests, it also has a red eye, although this can be hard to see. The timing of the different vireos’ arrival on the breeding grounds seems to be roughly related to how far south they go to spend the winter. The early arriving Cassin’s winters as far north as southern Arizona. The second place Warbling has had to travel from at least southern Mexico. The late-arriving Red-eyed has come from South America. What vireos lack in fine plumage, they make up for in voice. While their songs may not always be the most musical, they are persistent! They sing much later into the day than most species, and also much later into the summer.
