Team from Nakusp helps set new world record JILLIAN TRAINOR Arrow Lakes News
Volunteers from Nakusp and Castlegar helped set a new world record. On May 20, the Sustainable Forestry Initiative partnered with 29 teams from across Canada and the U.S. and created a new world record for the most seedlings planted in a single hour. In total, 202,935 trees were planted. The Interfor team from Nakusp and Castlegar planted 8,227 of those trees. “There were 34 planters, and they all had 300 seedlings in their bags, and they’re trained professionals,” said team leader David Jackson. His team planted trees in an area just east of Whatshan Lake.
Jackson manages the silviculture department for Interfor out of Nakusp. He said SFI initiated it through their clients. As one such client, Interfor was asked to participate. “We were happy to help out. It was a lot of fun,” he said. While the Nakusp team planted a large amount, other teams planted numbers just as impressive. “Irving had a team as well, and I think they planted 51,000 trees. They planted a lot of trees in one hour,” said Jackson. Jackson said there are possible plans to do this again next year. “We haven’t been asked to yet, be we’re certainly more than willing to participate in things that promote the good

stewardship that we’re involved with here,” he stated. Interfor is contractually obligated to re-establish a stand of trees once harvest is over. “We log a lot of trees, and we’re obligated to plant the trees back and get a new crop of trees growing in as short a time as possible,” said Jackson. “We like to promote that, and we think that’s what SFI did was to sort of help promote the planting and the environmental stewardship.” In a press release, SFI stated the record-setting attempt is closely aligned with the organization’s important sustainability goals, as well as those of its partners in the communities. The 202,935 trees planted as a result of this initiative will help to reduce carbon from the atmosphere and protect healthy habitats across Canada and the U.S.

“I grew up in a family that was very much interested in nature. I was kind of always headed in that direction,” said Cannings, a biologist, author and now federal candidate for the NDP. Cannings has authored a dozen books on the natural environment and B.C. Several of those books deal with birds, a particular fascination of his. “They are a window into that natural world. We can enjoy the diversity of birds and get excited when we see a new one. They do interesting things, they fly thousands of kilometres every year in their migrations, so we can kind of live vicariously through them,” he said. Cannings’ interest in the sciences is matched by his family. His wife of 30 years, Margaret Holm, is an anthropologist and their son Russell, now living in New Zealand, is also an avid birder and a high school teacher. Their daughter Julia still lives in Penticton and teaches English as a Second Language for South Okanagan Immigrant and Community Services. So how does a scientist end up running for political office? “It wasn’t part of my career plan at any moment, until 2012 when somebody from the NDP called and asked ‘Would you consider running for the NDP in the next provincial election?’” said Cannings, whose initial thought was to turn down the offer. Cannings already had an enjoyable and fulfilling career, but when his wife, friends and colleagues urged him to say yes, he decided to try. “A lot of that first election campaign was outside my comfort zone, but I ended up thoroughly enjoying it,” said Cannings. “It has been very eye opening for me. For someone who grew up in Penticton, who thought they knew this community well, I have just

learned so much.” Running for the federal seat in this election was a natural progression, according to Cannings. “In many ways, I am more concerned about what is happening to Canada as a whole. We need more voices from the scientific world, from the environmental world in Ottawa, in Parliament,” said Cannings, adding that he is concerned about a wide range of issues, from social justice to income equality and the decline of democracy in Ottawa. “All those things that concern a lot of people here are my concerns as well,” he said adding that the more involved he became, the more he is impressed with the people behind the NDP. “People want a more caring society, a fairer society, a greener society. I think more and more people are realizing the NDP will bring a more prosperous society.” If elected, Cannings suspects he won’t have much time to continue his writing career, but he expects those skills to still be important. “Politics is all about communications. Politics is how people relate to one another, explain things and get ideas across,” said Cannings. “The writing of books is very good training in how to communicate with people. And being in politics has trained me as well. A lot of politics is about listening to people, instead of telling them about your viewpoints.” Cannings already has a lot of experience working with both governments and people, having sat on the B.C. Environmental Appeal board and the Forest Appeal Board. “It really taught me how directly peoples lives can be affected by government. I think it was very good training for someone that wants to get into work as an MP or as an MLA. It really opened my eyes to a lot of things,” he said. Cannings is also on the board of the Nature Conservancy of Canada, the country’s largest conservation organization with a budget of over a million dollars and close to a billion dollars of assets. Besides other scientists, that exposed him to CEOs and bankers with some of Canada’s biggest corporations. “I got to know those people well and had a lot of interesting conversations with them over beer and dinner. It really gave me a view into another level at which Canada works,” said Cannings. “That was and still is a great experience for me.” But even at those high level meetings, Cannings remains true to his passions. “It’s always funny when a bird flies by and I immediately look at it,” said Cannings. “One of the vice-presidents of HSBC said, ‘’I’ve never been in a meeting where someone gets excited about seeing a hummingbird outside the window.’”

Denesiuk aims to paint new riding red Dan Walton Arrow Lakes News
She was able to leave high school with more than a diploma. “(My husband) Bob and I are high school sweethearts,” she said. “I first laid my eyes on him when he had an exhibit in the science fair which was at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre, which was called the Peach Bowl at the time.” Adulthood was off to a quick start for Denesiuk. After graduating in 1976, she and Bob were married in 1977, and had their first child in 1979. The following year in 1980, the couple founded their own business — R Denesiuk Construction, and it’s still going strong. Now after 38 years of marriage, the Denesiuks have four grown children and three grandchildren. And amid the balance of parenthood and the family business, Denesiuk began serving on the school board in 1992, and later leaped from that role into provincial and federal positions, becoming the president of the B.C. School Trustees Association and served for three years. “That position allowed me to travel through the province, and I got a much better understanding of many communities in B.C.” Her next role was with the Canadian School Board Association where she served as a director for another three years. If she’s elected in October, it won’t be the first time she’s made a difference in Ottawa. “As a director on the Canadian School Board Association, I went to the parliament buildings to lobby MPs to make changes in legislation in order to better meet the needs of students.” She continues to lend a hand in education through her role as a member of the Board of Governors at Okanagan College. While serving both the private and public interests of the South Okanagan — and before deciding to enter federal politics — Denesiuk kept an open mind while carefully reviewing the platforms of
each national party. “It became very clear to me that the party that matches my values is the federal Liberal Party — creating policies that are based on sound evidence is critical to me.” She said that sense of pragmatism is what kept her business afloat for 35 years. “We’ve seen difficult times in business and we’ve seen better times, but what’s most important is having good business sense, and beyond that is knowing when it’s time to invest.” Much like the promise made by Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau to spend $125 billion in new infrastructure over the next 10 years if they win, Denesiuk believes capital investment to be a crucial part of progression. “It was tough deciding to invest in equipment when we were going through leaner times, but that equipment helped us to actually weather through the financial storm. And that is exactly what the Liberals are going to do, we’re in a recession right now, we need to jumpstart our economy. One way of doing that is by investing in infrastructure.” Denesiuk said more federal incentives should be in place to encourage Canadians to build green, and on a larger scale. “We know there have been programs in the past; rebates for certain appliances or windows – but I’m taking about bigger, cutting-edge technologies.” Although R. Denesiuk Construction offers many ecologically-friendly solutions, Denesiuk said many customers have had to pass on certain initiatives because adequate incentives were not in place. She feels that Canadians have become more divided over the past 10 years, and said a politically-balanced approach is what’s needed. “The Liberal Party is not right and it’s not left — it brings people together.” When Denesiuk’s not busy, which is very rare during an election campaign, she and her husband are avid outdoors people and they especially love kayaking. Denesiuk also enjoys spending time with her sister who lives in Okanagan Falls.

Editor’s note
I would like to thank everyone that took their valuable time to write letters and to those that signed the petition that was submitted to the village of Nakusp, mayor, and councillors. It was a good start towards having some of the bylaws changed so the rail trail can be used by everyone, and to let the village know what the public wants. At this time, the village is not entertaining what their constituents would like, and doesn’t seem to realize each of the names on the petition and letters are real people that want to be heard. I have been hearing from the public, and they are feeling the need of having the rail trail used for everyone, and are not in favour of having it be available for a very small section of our demo-
graphic. I would appreciate any suggestions and/or information for going forward with the efforts to let our village know it is in the best interest of our village to share this trail with the public for inclusive use. You can email me at sue.don@icloud. com, I will answer every email. I have been doing further research into different avenues, and will be letting everyone know what I have unearthedsoon. Thank you to all who helped gather information and put together the presentation that was submitted to the village council. If anyone would like to see the presentation and read some of the research, there are copies at various businesses in the village. Susan Smith Nakusp

Trust expects to double revenues CHELSEA NOVAK
West Kootenay Advertiser
The Columbia Basin Trust is expecting to nearly double its revenues in the next few years. The increase comes as the result of the CBT’s investment in a number of power projects. The Waneta Expansion Project is coming online and the CBT has also renewed a power purchase agreement for the Arrow Lakes dam with BC Hydro. “In the next couple of years we’ll be increasing our revenues to about $55 million, for the foreseeable future, per year,” said Delphi Hoodicoff, director of communications for the CBT. Power purchase agreements for the CBT’s power projects are longterm, so the trust can be reasonably certain of its revenues for the next few years. In response to the expected increase in revenue, CBT approached communities about how the trust could better its services. “Over the past year the Our Trust, Our Future engagement process went underway across the region,” said Hoodicoff. The result of that community engagement is the Renewed Strategic Priorities document, which the trust released this week. “That document is for 2016 to 2020, and it talks about 13 strategic priorities that residents want us to focus on. It also talks about the ways in which we’re going to support residents, the tools or the methods we’ll be using,” explained Hoodicoff.
The completed Waneta Expansion Project will help double the Columbia Basin Trust’s revenues in the next few years. Photo provided by CBT
One of the trust’s new tools is to explore forms of investment that may not have a high financial reward, but that provide a community benefit, such as job creation.

It may come as a pleasant surprise that many local businesses and residents of the Nakusp region benefit considerably by gaining easy access to a comprehensive range of public information at a point when one is attempting to successfully make one’s
way through what appears like a rapidly expanding maze of community-based, governmental and crown corporation services or programs. It is a fact that Service BC delivers numerous programs and services upon request to businesses, residents and visitors in person, online and over the telephone. For a lengthy period of time, government agents have been considered a vibrant part of what is recognized today as friendly and knowledgeable staff who are now located in offices within 59 BC communities to date. Locally, Service BC is situated at 2046th Avenue (across from Arrow and Slocan
Lakes Community Services complex) close to the village centre. Some of the key resources offered inperson at this location include small business services, Notary Public, vital statistics, adoption and child protection as well as family support referrals, Medical Services Plan and many more. BC On-line is generally referred to as the e-service delivery channel and is intended to facilitate products and services on behalf of business customers. Some of the services offered include land title searches as well as company and personal property searches.

• October 6, 1925 What was undoubtedly the best banquet ever staged in Nakusp in connection with the Fair was held on Thursday night, Sept. 24. About 170 people sat down to a very scrumptious repast and very enjoyable evening. Both from a social and financial viewpoint this banquet was a success. Many matters of interest to the town and district were discussed. The net proceeds of the banquet amounted to $37.50. October 10, 1935 The Government Liquor Store in New Denver was burglarized early on Friday morning, Oct. 4. Liquors valued at approximately $150 were taken. A small amount of change was taken from the till, but no attempt was made on the safe. The thieves also made an attempt to rob J.B. Smith’s general merchandise store but were unsuccessful. Police are investigating and believe some gas thefts made on the same night, may have been made by the same party. Three young men, residents of Nelson were apprehended by Monday morning and will appear in court in New Denver.
October 11, 1945 The following supplies have been received and fully appreciated by the hospital staff. Mrs. Bill, plums and pears; Mrs. G. Henke, Plums and crab apples; Mrs. Oscar Forslund, peaches and apples; Mrs. F. Coates, carrots and cabbages; Mrs. Fujjwara, flowers; E. Oxenham, apricots; Mrs. H.W.

“This could be a no interest or low interest loan for example,” said Hoodicoff. Many of the priorities respond to a request from residents to take on issues that can’t be addressed through grants, like affordable housing, economic development and early childhood development. “Over the next few years what you’re going to be seeing is a shift in our organization where grants will remain as they are, but we’re going to start putting more energy and effort into these broader initiatives of stra-

October 8, 1975 B.C. Hydro has engaged research consultants in five specialities to investigate further the environmental and socio-economic impacts that could result if another power dam were built on the Columbia River near Revelstoke. The proposed Revelstoke Power project, which has been under investigation for some time, consists of a single dam and power house three miles upstream from the City of Revelstoke in Revelstoke Canyon (also known as Little Dallas Canyon). The dam could create a reservoir about 80 miles long extending north almost to Mica. October 9, 1985 A group of about 30 Trout Lake and Galena Bay residents stopped a herbicide spray program in the area Thursday and peacefully sent the spray crew and trucks back on the ferry towards Revelstoke. The spray program, using atrazine, was designated for the highway shoulders from the ferry junction at Galena Bay to the Beaton Bridge. It was further planned to spray in the area of the highways yard in Trout Lake. The group of 30 or so call themselves the Trout Lake Concerned Citizens of the Environment.

Arrow Lakes District Arts Council 2015-16 Concert Series
This season starts on Sunday, Oct. 25, with Ensemble Caprice. A baroque ensemble which performs on period instruments, Ensemble Caprice was founded by acclaimed recorder soloist Matthias Maute and has become known for its innovative and adventuresome approach to an increasingly musical repertoire. The second concert is on Sunday, Jan. 10. with Galena Trio. The trio shares a contagious passion for the art of chamber music. Formed in the summer of 2011 by cellist Johanne Perron, pianist Susanne Ruberg-Gordon and clarinetist Nicola Everton while on faculty at the Valhalla Summer School of Music. Although all three artists are individually busy professional performers and educators, their joint musicianship is recognized by their warm, intelligent and passionate performances. Our third concert is the return of Blackthorn, on Saturday, March 5. Blackthorn, a Celtic band that saw its first inception back in 1989 when a small group of expats found a common interest in a music that wasn’t all that common in Vancouver at the time. Since then the group has travelled a long road through the streets of traditional and not-so-traditional Celtic music. Blackthorn’s extensive repertoire celebrates the traditional music of Scotland and Ireland as well as folk music of English and French Canada. They can rip up a reel, bounce along with a jig, pull your heart strings with a mournful ballad and have you singing along to a favourite old time tune. The fourth concert is on Sunday, April 3. Ensemble Vivant. Since its inception almost three decades ago, Ensemble Vivant has been a pioneer in the piano chamber music world, championing exciting innovative
programming ranging from Classical to Latin, and other Jazz styles. The group’s rich genre diversity, depth of artistry, and passionate, virtuosic interpretations receive accolades internationally. The final concert of this season’s Concert Series is on Sunday, May 8th. with Sarah Hagen. “When as a child I first understood what it meant to pull notes off a page, throw them into the air, and wonder at their magical effects, I knew that music would forever be my life: my oxygen, my solace, my offering.” Sarah Hagen has been heard in concert halls and on airwaves throughout North America and Europe. Her interpretations have been described as “outstandingly inventive,” performed with “infinite skill”. She is BC Touring Council’s 2015 Artist of the year! As this is Mother’s Day, the Arts Council is planning to have a lunch or dinner, at one of the local restaurants, connected to this concert. All the concerts start at 7:30 p.m. except for May 8, which will start at 2 p.m. The Arrow Lakes District Arts Council also holds two Community Artists’ Concerts. They will be held on Sunday, Dec. 13 and Sunday, April 17. These concerts are fundraisers for the Arts Council, and there is a donation jar at the door, for them. The time for these concerts is 2 p.m. The ticket prices for the concert series are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors, and $15 for students. Children under six are free. There is also a family rate of $50 (2+2). If you want a reserved seat for the concert series, you must purchase three or more concerts from the concert series. To purchase tickets, or get further information. please contact Marilyn Massey, concert coordinator, at 250-2654087.

Damage done to the soccer field behind the Nakusp Arena.

Busy night in Nakusp jillian trainor Arrow Lakes News
October in Nakusp got off to an interesting start. RCMP received several reports in the early morning hours last Thursday of a vehicle driving on several residents’ lawns. One resident had part of their fence taken out. There was also damage done to the soccer field behind the arena. Tire tracks marred the field, with tracks swerving around one end of the field, and again at the other end. The community mailboxes on Shakespeare Road and Churchill were knocked down as well. “My husband tried to pick them up, but they were so heavy, so he called the post office. Obviously they were thrown over on purpose,” said one resident who wished to remain anonymous. “We got a few more reports this morning of more incidents, and possibly another one last night as well from what appears to be the same sort of
vehicle,” said Constable Lee Bellamy of the RCMP. If arrested, the suspect could face charges of mischief. The Criminal Code of Canada defines mischief as the wilful destruction or damage of property; rendering property dangerous, useless, inoperative, or ineffective; obstructs, interrupts or interferes with the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of property; or obstructs, interrupts or interferes with any person in the lawful use, enjoyment or operation of property. The severity of the sentence would also depend on the suspect’s criminal history. Evidence was left at the scene, which the RCMP is following up on. “Currently we’re asking the public to come forward if they know anything, or have seen or heard anything, so we can proceed in our investigation.” said Bellamy. It is believed the mischief happened sometime between four and five in the morning.

Meet the new reporter
East meets West as Prince Edward Island native Jillian Trainor joins the staff at Arrow Lakes News. Born in Charlottetown and raised in Summerside, Trainor had lived most of her life on PEI. After graduating from high school, she wasn’t quite sure what she wanted to do. “I knew I eventually wanted to go to school, I just didn’t know where, or what for.” she said. She also knew she wasn’t quite ready for a post-secondary education. “When you’re in high school, there’s a really big pressure on you. By the time you’re a senior, you’re expected to know what you want to do for the rest of your life. It’s crazy.” She decided to take a year off and work. One year turned into two and after a chance encounter with a former schoolmate in 2009, she applied to the journalism program at the New Brunswick Community College in Woodstock, N.B. Originally, she wanted to work in broadcast. In what would turn out to be her final term at NBCC, she and her classmates did two weeks of print reporting, which included putting out two issues of a student created newspaper. “That’s when I discovered I truly liked writing. I had always enjoyed the journalism program, but I don’t know if I was ever a fan of being on camera. I always preferred the behind the scenes stuff, like editing, and writing the scripts for broadcast pieces.” Leaving NBCC, she tried her hand at the two-year journalism program at Holland College in Charlottetown. A highlight of her time at Holland College was when she had the chance to interview Justin Trudeau, who was at the time still campaigning to become leader of the Liberal Party. “I took a chance and asked his people if it would be possible to do a quick interview with him after his speech. I was hoping he’d say yes, but I was prepared for a no. It was definitely one of those times I will always remember.” In the summer of 2013, tragedy struck. “My mother, Eunice, died about two weeks before my second year was due to start. That changed my life in ways I can’t even begin to describe.” After graduating in May, 2015, she started her job search. After sending out numerous resumes, she
Jillian Trainor.
received an email from Jennifer Cowan, Operation Manager for Black Press Media. “It happened really fast. I got the email from Jennifer back in August, and two or three phone calls with her later, I’ve got a job.” Very early in the morning on Sept. 4, after packing as much as she could into her SUV, including her cat Zeppelin and his kennel, she hit the road. She was in Medicine Hat, AB, by Sunday night and made it to Nakusp on the evening of Sept. 8. “I’ve now driven through almost every province. In the span of five days, I’ve seen a lot of this country, and I’ve gotten to see how beautiful it is in its various ways. It’s pretty breathtaking.” If you see Jillian around, be sure to say hi and let her know of any story ideas you might have. She is eager to settle in and make Nakusp her home.

Museum shows off its new makeover jillian trainor Arrow Lakes News
Residents of Nakusp were invited to a free open house at the Nakusp & District Museum on Oct. 3. The Columbia Basin Trust and Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance gave the museum the grant, which enabled it to redo the whole museum. “Each display was taken apart, photographed, cleaned, and then put back, but put back in a little different way. All the exhibits are more accessible now. You can walk right into them, whereas you couldn’t before,� said museum curator Sharon Montgomery. The process took four months to com-
plete, and the museum was open while it was being done. Linda Dixon was chosen to photograph every artifact, and considering there are around 5,800 items to be catalogued, this was no small feat. The museum is deceptively large. It features exhibits on everything from forestry, mining, trapping, and farming, to village life, WWI and WWII. An entire room is dedicated to the Sinixt Nation and its history. One thing that really impressed Dixon was that everything in the museum was from the local area. Most of the items had been saved by the local Women’s Institute, before the valley was flooded in the 1960s. “This has all been brought to the mu-
seum to be saved because people, after the flood, valued the fragility of stuff, and knew how easily it could be lost. I think that’s what gives it such a special feeling,� Dixon said. Many were pleased with the new facelift. “I think it was fabulous the job that Linda and Sharon did on making it more open for the people to see every part of it,� said Walter Pasieka, who really enjoyed the room dedicated to the Sinixt. “I’ve been working with the Sinixts for 25 years, so the Native section I’m really pleased with. It’s really good for educating locals and people from out of town about the people who lived here since the last ice age,� Pasieka said.

Keep your family safe with a working smoke alarm in every bedroom Did you know that roughly half of home fire deaths result from fires reported between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., when most people are asleep? Smoke alarms save lives. If there is a fire in your home, smoke spreads fast and you need smoke alarms to give you time to get out. In fact, having a working smoke alarm cuts the chances of dying in a reported fire in half! Nakusp Fire Chief Terry Warren stated “We will be in the Nakusp Elementary School on October 9th presenting to the Kindergarten to Grade 3 students,as we have for many years during Fire Prevention Week. We always have a package for each student to take home and get them to do a Home Escape plan to bring back so we can pick a Chief for the day. We then take the winner and their family out to lunch after a ride around town in the Fire Truck.”
