FIRE SAFETY
Thanksgiving weekend marked by tragedy JILLIAN TRAINOR Arrow Lakes News
A day meant to be spent celebrating with loved ones was instead made tragic. A death occurred at the St. Leon’s Hot Spring on Oct 11. A man was found to be in distress by some local people at the hot spring. They flagged down some hunters quadding in the area. Because there is no cell phone service in the area, the hunters were carrying emergency beacons. Once these beacons are lit, they trigger a response
to the local RCMP call centre. From there, members of the RCMP were dispatched to the site. “We received a call for an assistance,” said Corporal Jason Burndred. “An emergency beacon was activated and members went out to the area of the hot springs.” Members of the RCMP went out, along with the British Columbia Ambulance Service. They located a deceased man at the hot spring. The death is not considered suspicious at this time. The name of the deceased has not been released.

Never too early to learn about fire safety JILLIAN TRAINOR Arrow Lakes News
Nakusp Fire Chief Terry Warren paid a visit to Nakusp Elementary School on Friday, Oct. 9. As part of Fire Prevention Week, Chief Warren, along with volunteer firefighters Greg Dobicki and Miraiah Warren, spoke to students from the kindergarten class, up to those from Grade 3. The group went over things which are hot and cold, what to do if a child finds a lighter or matches, and the importance of getting out of the house when a fire is happening. Chief Warren said children are the most vulnerable in fires, and there was a big push to have smoke alarms in every sleeping room of the house, and to also have alarms on every level. “Studies have been done that show with kids, when the alarm goes off, they cover their heads, and if it’s outside their room they may not hear it as well, but if it’s in the room it’s more dominant, and they should
wake up,” said Warren. Part of the reason they hide is because even though the firefighters are there to help, with all the equipment they wear, they look very different, and the kids are scared. To help squash these fears, firefighter Miriah Warren put on her gear in front of the students, everything from her boots to her gas mask, even turning on her oxygen tank. “When the firefighters come in, they sound like Darth Vader, or some kind of monster with the heavy breathing apparatus. We want them to realize that so they’re not scared of firefighters,” said Chief Warren. He said when they go into a home, they want to be able to find the children right away, and not have to search through closets or under beds to get to them. Another issue addressed was not going back inside while the home was still on fire. If, for example a pet has been left inside, let firefighters know, so they can search for the animal. “We don’t want them going back, be-

May Snyder has been welcomed to Nakusp as the latest participant of the Rotary Student Exchange Program. Snyder hails from Japan. Her hometown is the city of Nobeoka, in the Miyazaki prefecture, Japan’s version of a province, in the country’s southern most island. She will be staying with four different families during her time in Nakusp. This isn’t Snyder’s first time in North America. Her father is from Colorado, and she’s visited the United States a couple of times. She got involved with the Rotary Exchange program through her doctor, who is a Rotarion. “It was my dream to travel abroad on exchange while I was a student,” she said. “He called me up one day and said ‘There’s a Rotary Exchange program, and they have an opening. Do you want to apply?’ I said yes, and that’s kind of how this all started.” The process was started in September of 2014. She took an exam, and in November of that year, received the news that she would be going on an exchange program. From there, she had much paperwork to fill out, including getting a passport, and filling out a visa. The whole process was completed in May of 2015. Coming to such a small town was different for Snyder. Nobeoka’s population is around 127,00. “I love it. I actually prefer small, cozy, towns.” she said. She hasn’t experienced much of a culture shock. One thing that did surprise her was how welcoming people have been. “They interact with you more than you expect. I really like that. It’s welcoming and warm.” Something very different for Snyder has been the school system. Back in Japan, school starts at 8:20 a.m., and goes until 5:30 p.m. After that, she would have basketball practise until about 8:30. She would get home around

If she were studying, or going through a test period she’d be up until 2:30 or 3 a.m. Not all Japanese students have such a rigorous schedule. May’s academic program is a little different because she’s an honours student. She had three types of Japanese classes, two different math classes, and three scientific courses, physics, biology, and chemistry. Chemistry is a must, but students are able to choose between physics and biology, as well as between Japanese history and geography. Besides those, everyone is in the same class. Here, the school system is a little more liberated. “I like it because you get to

choose your own courses, and we never have that in Japan. You get to manage your own time, and I think that’s really important growing up.” Snyder has also gotten involved with a few extra-curricular activities here. “I’m currently in the volleyball team, and I’ll be on the basketball team, and I might be on the ski team, I’m still figuring that out.” Once she’s finished with the exchange program, she plans on going back to Japan to graduate from school. Once she’s graduated, she plans on attending university in the United States, and has already started applying to schools. Her focus will be on genetics and behavioural psychology.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
On behalf of the council of the Village of Nakusp, I would like to assure our residents that we have listened to both sides of the motorized versus non-motorized issues and concerns of the rail trail. This includes the petition, phone calls, e-mails, presentation by the Inclusive Rail Trail Committee and comments from a large segment of the community. This subject has been one that we have received an unprecedented amount of input on and unfortunately, has caused a division in the com-
munity. Council’s first priority has to be safety of the trail and potential liability. We have consulted several agencies and have taken the concerns very seriously. In the end we had to make a decision based on safety and liability. We have offered to work with the committee to find an alternate route and we will be putting funding into the budget to improve the trail as requested by many members of the public. Karen Hamling Mayor Village of Nakusp
Flurry of excitement in the B.C. legislature TOM FLETCHER Black Press
There was a flurry of excitement in the B.C. legislature last week, as Delta South independent MLA Vicki Huntington released documents suggesting that a multinational manufacturing company continued to buy up B.C. farms for carbon offsets after they said last June they would stop. False alarm, as it turns out. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick clarified that three more farms in the Peace and Cariboo region had indeed been bought, but the company was merely following legal advice to close deals on farms that it had already agreed to purchase. The company, British-based cleaning product and pharmaceutical maker Reckitt Benckiser (RB) confirmed this. A company official reiterated that its program to buy farms and replant them with trees is suspended. By the time the B.C. government became aware of this global public relations scheme, thanks to the work of NDP MLA Lana Popham and others, about 10,000 hectares of farmland was already planted with seedlings. RB initially said they were buying up abandoned and unproductive farms, but local government officials disputed that. RB soon realized that undermining already precarious farm-
ing communities was going to provide the opposite of the green publicity they sought, at least in B.C. The company told me it is now looking to switch its carbon offset program to replanting forest areas depleted by pine beetle and fire. I’ll believe that when I see it, but on the face of it, this sounds almost as questionable as converting farmland back to forests. Pine forests need fire to regenerate, so fires have been part of the regeneration of the ecosystem since the retreat of the last Ice Age. Beetle-kill areas are already coming back, and they were never completely denuded in any case, so the notion of manual planting these areas seems impractical. Most are now crisscrossed with deadfall and all but impassible. Another situation that received little public attention was a report issued late this summer by the B.C. Forest Practices Board about forest stewardship plans. The board reviewed 43 stewardship plans from all regions of B.C., prepared as required under provincial law by forest tenure holders on Crown land. They are supposed to deal with things like where roads go and how streams are protected. This is the management system put in place in 2003, when the B.C. Liberal government changed its approach to forest management. Gone was the NDP’s infamous seven-volume “Forest Practices Code,” which attempted to micromanage evChuck Bennett

ery detail of a timber licence, right down to inspecting for litter left at a logging site. In came “results-based” forest management, where licence holders had to produce a plan showing stream protection and other values. The Forest Practices Board has found these plans often aren’t good for much, although results are generally good when they follow up with on-the-ground audits of actual timber harvest areas. The investigation found that many of the plans cover “vast and overlapping areas of the province, and were written using legal language that makes them very difficult for public understanding or review.” Little has changed since a similar finding in 2006. During that time, the forests ministry was turned into Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, with greatly increased responsibility over wildlife, mining, gas drilling and so on. Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald, who traveled the province as NDP forests critic in recent years, says the problem now is there just aren’t enough people on the ground to assess what’s going on in our huge expanse of Crown land. Meanwhile the city media covers professional protesters issuing demands about the Walbran Valley.

New riding, new challenges for Neufeld DALE BOYD
Arrow Lakes News
With a newly redrawn riding, the 2015 federal election campaign is shaping up to be historical, which fits right in with South OkanaganWest Kootenay Conservative candidate Marshall Neufeld. He doesn’t just like history, he lives in it. “I love history in general, so it was natural for me when I was buying my house to buy a heritage house,” Neufeld said. He’s spent a lot of hours restoring his 1956 heritage home near downtown Penticton for the past five years. Of course, time is in short supply during an election campaign. Neufeld has been a realtor in Penticton for seven years, a business started by his grandfather in 1949. While living in Vancouver he worked at Lion’s Gate Hospital for a year in rehabilitation assistance. He then came back to Penticton to work at the Village by the Station as a recreation therapist. “The furthest thing from politics possible,” Neufeld said. However, politics has always been in the mix. Neufeld volunteered for the Stockwell Day campaign in 2000 while he was still in high school and hasn’t stopped. “It’s the same desire I’ve had throughout my life which is to try to serve and help people. During that time working for Stockwell, I saw the amount of good that one MP can have in their community if they’re working really hard and listening to their constituents.” The brand new riding of South Okanagan-West Kootenay raises some new challenges with both the diversity of communities (112,000 people) and physical size. “Whoever the MP is will have to ensure they do a lot of travelling and make sure that all the constituents throughout the riding, no matter where they live, that they feel well represented and feel connected to their member of parliament,” Neufeld said. He’s been knocking on doors during the long campaign and finds that many people are bringing up the same issues on the federal level. “They’re the national concerns of jobs, the economy and taxation issues,” Neufeld said. “You do hear a whole variety of questions at the doorstep, but that’s by far the most common thing.” Airport infrastructure is another common issue brought up. “Penticton, Castlegar, Trail, all three of them have issues with the airport,” Neufeld said. He noted the past efforts of Stockwell Day and MLA Rick Thorpe
PUBLIC NOTICE NAKUSP HOT SPRINGS & CHALETS WILL BE CLOSED FROM OCTOBER 19 – 21 INCLUSIVE, FOR FALL MAINTENANCE. Marshall Neufeld who pushed for a four-lane highway between Penticton and Kelowna, and that he hopes to bring that same determination to airport infrastructure. The federal government has already made a promise to expand the waiting area for the Penticton Airport, but there’s more to be done Neufeld said. “That’s still just the first step, the ticketing area is too small to have the increased number of flights that we want to have in Penticton,” Neufeld said, adding it needs a general facelift to the area as a whole. “I still think if there would be a way to achieve having a flight to Edmonton as well, I think we need to be getting that.” Another key issue in Neufeld’s campaign is expanding markets for fruit growers. Last year, the Conservative government signed an international trade deal with China to sell B.C. cherries overseas. “This past year is the first year that we had a crop that went over there, and according to the industry’s own numbers that’s meant a $20 million boost annually,” Neufeld said. “That’s why I’m a believer in free trade. I think we need to continue signing more agreements that keep the interests of Canadian business and industry in mind,” he said. “If we have fruit producers who are saying that they have wasted their crop at the end of the year, we need to find them a new market. For cherries we’ve done that.” Other fruit producers have been asking for an expansion of markets as well, according to Neufeld. “If I’m elected I’m happy to be working with all of our fruit producers to try and find new markets and advocate to the Minister of International Trade to go and try and sign similar agreements.”

October 19 will soon be here, and with that comes the 2015 Canadian federal election. Arrow Lakes News has put together information to help residents get ready. Registering to vote The easiest way for a resident to see if they’re registered is to visit elections.ca. If you need help using the website, or require computer access, staff at the Nakusp Public Library are on site to lend a hand. If residents can’t register online, they can register by mail, by contacting their local Elections Canada office. They can also register in person at the office if they wish to do so. The deadline to register to vote is Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 6 p.m. local time. When and where to vote
Nakusp residents can vote in the advanced polls, which happen Friday, Oct. 9 to Monday, Oct. 12 at the Nakusp and District Sports Centre in the auditorium. Polls are open from noon to 8 p.m. On election day voters can cast their vote at the Nakusp and District Sports Centre in the auditorium. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time. Votes can also be cast by mail or at the Elections Canada office. Those who wish to do so must apply for those options before Tuesday, Oct. 13 at 6 p.m. What to bring There are three options to prove your identity and address when voting. • Your driver’s license • Your provincial or territorial ID card • Any other government card with your name, photo, and current address.
OR Show two pieces of ID, one of which should have your current address. These can be one of several things, including a health card, Canadian passport, birth certificate, citizenship card, social insurance card, bank statement, credit union statement, blood donor card, CNIB card, or a Canadian Forces identity card. A full list is available at elections.ca OR If your ID does not have a current address, you can take an oath.

vote directly for a new Prime Minister. Rather, we vote for the Member of Parliament who will represent us in our electoral district. Some vote based on whom they think will represent their district best, others vote for the par-
ty whose platform they agree with. The ability to vote is a constitutional right, and one that should not be taken lightly. If residents want a say in how their country is run, they need to cast their ballot.

Brian Gray has thrown his hat into mix for the 2015 federal election in the South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding out of concern for his country. “I was concerned with the fact that our country’s prime minister was supporting a facist Nazi regime in the Ukraine,” said Gray. “He is giving over $600 million dollars of our tax dollars to support them. A lot of people say ‘Oh that can’t be the case’ well it is.” And Gray said more people are starting to understand. “I couldn’t accept the fact that our country was supporting a Nazi regime in the Ukraine. The unbelievable financial situation our globe is in too,” added Gray. “I have presented policies that can address those concerns and get us out of this mess.” Before putting his name forward, Gray was enjoying retirement. He loves gardening, playing golf and barbecuing. “Other than that I don’t do a heck of a lot,” he laughed. Gray, 66, was born and raised in Vancouver and has spent the last 14 years in the Okanagan, including 11 in Penticton. His work experience ranges from working in the forest industry, including pulling lumber off the green chain at Gorman Brothers Lumber Ltd. in Westbank back when “it was just held together with bailing wire and chewing gum.” “Pulling lumber off a green chain in the middle of winter with no canopy on it and it’s snowing at 2 a.m. — it could test your mettle,” he said.
Find a job you love.
For 20 years he worked for TBC Teletheatre, a betting outlet for horse racing. He did that in Kamloops and helped set up operations in Salmon Arm, Victoria, Duncan, Nanaimo and Kelowna. “I was looking forward to this summer to try to enjoy my retired life on the limited income I have,” said Gray. “This election has kind of intervened.” Gray’s election platform is based on research from the Committee for Republic of Canada, which he is a member of, and American political economist Lyndon LaRouche. One of the topics in Gray’s platform is restoring the pillars of banking regulations. In his brochure, it states that Canada’s banks functioned within the framework of regulations known as the “4 Pillars” (aka: Canada’s Glass-Steagall) which served to separate commercial, investment, trusts and insurance banking transactions. “The policies I’m putting forward have certainly found their impetus from my affiliation with CRC and the LaRouche organization, but they are just common sense,” he said. “I’m not the only person talking about that. Other political organizations are doing that.” Gray, who can be found every Saturday at the Penticton Farmer’s Market, said he is surprised at the number of people who are in agreement with his policies. They encourage him to keep going. “To be frank, I know there’s virtually no way I’m ever going to win this thing,” he said. “I’m campaigning to win. I just want to get these policies in the political debate. More information on Gray’s campaign can be found at www.facebook.com/briangray2015.

CANADA VOTES 2015
Rosslander runs for the Greens CHELSEA NOVAK Rossland News
Rossland resident Samantha Troy became the Green party candidate for South Okanagan-West Kootenay on Sept. 13. Since then, she’s been kept busy filling out paperwork, attending debates and meeting constituents. Troy was inspired to run when she learned there was no Green party candidate for the riding. She liked the Green party’s platform and decided someone should run for the party. “With the world as it is we need to start making some really concrete ... choices,� she said. “ I sure like the way Elizabeth May has presented herself over her time in parliament, and not too much research to go look up the Green party platform and go, ‘Wow, that really makes sense, and it’s actually pretty doable.’ And for all those reasons we should have a candidate in this riding, and I can be that candidate.� Troy is a mother of one, and has been living in Rossland since 1996. She said she tries to be active in the community, and she works at Red Mountain, where she’s involved with the union. As a teen, Troy also volunteered with a local theatre company in Kamloops. “I learned so much stuff there, and it was a pretty big responsibility,� she said. “It really instilled a good sense of teamwork.� For Troy, the most important issue this election is changing the election system. “I think I feel most strongly about working hard with all the parties to get proportional representational voting,� she said. Moving away from a fossil-fuel based economy is also important to her. “I’d really like to see us branching out into more sustainable options, embracing new technology,� said Troy. The Green candidate has spent a lot of her life working outdoors, and she said, “I really get it that our economy and our environment

Photo by Chelsea Novak are so intertwined.� Asked what she thought the election issues were for Rosslanders, Troy said, “I think I need to talk to a lot more Rosslanders, and just ask their direct opinions as to what their concerns are.� So far, Troy said she gets the impression that the main concern for Rosslanders is electing a different government than the one that’s been in power for the past nine years. “That seems to be louder than any of their individual issues,� she said. She also thinks that Rosslanders are generally pretty concerned about the environment. “We’re a tourist town. We need snow on our ski hill, and if it’s not coming there’s only so much laissez faire, that’s just the way the weather goes, sort of perspective before you really need to go, ‘No, we want to maintain our jobs, and we want to maintain our place as an active resort destination.’ � Troy encourages Rosslanders to contact her via email at samanthan.troy@greenparty.ca to share their concerns.

Seniors’ Column MARILYN BOXWELL Seniors’ column aquaconn@columbiacable.net
It was just recently that I became aware of a free and in my opinion highly informative and valuable program offering non-emergency health advice to residents of Nakusp and all other parts of BC. By simply dialing three numbers on your telephone (8-1-1) at any time of the day or night throughout the entire year, we can consult with a BC registered nurse concerning any number of non-emergency health conditions or symptoms which may be arising within one’s life. In addition, we can speak with a pharmacist about medications, obtain help in acquiring information concerning healthy
eating choices from a dietician or identify the various public health services located within the Village of Nakusp and other communities throughout the region. By dialing 8-1-1 on your telephone, a registered nurse for example, can help by discussing symptoms and procedures concerning non-emergency situations, and can also help one on the subject of seeing a physician or going to the hospital. In the case of consulting with a pharmacist, we can learn how and when to take over-the-counter cold medications with a new prescription provided by your doctor. You can also obtain information about the side effects of prescription drugs. Note that a pharmacist is on call at 8-1-1 every night between the hours of 5pm to 9am when a community pharmacist may be unavailable in person to help to respond to medication questions. As to obtaining advice on how to maintain a healthy diet including the best choice for certain health conditions, a dietician is available at 8-1-1 every weekday to discuss
dietary choices and provide nutritional advice. In addition to using a telephone, we can check one’s symptoms, learn about health conditions and identify the services needed by clicking this resource (an on-line computerized service) which offers medically approved information on the subject of over 4,000 health-related topics and 2,500 ervices located within the searchable data base as well as the over-the-counter drug information contained in the comprehensive medication library. The integrated search and mapping function of the new navigation resource helps us to find the health services needed which are located closest to where we live. In addition, this service has published a book on the subject of how to recognize and cope with common health concerns, preventing illness, home treatment and when to see a health professional. It is available for the asking. In the case of a medical emergency, call 9-1-1 when immediate action is required.

The Arrow Lakes District Arts Council’s Concert Series for 2015-16
This season starts on Sunday October 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 artists’ involvement and infectious enjoyment through body rhythms and expression, were what music should always be about” The Washington Post. The second concert is on Sunday, January 10th. 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 5th. 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 3rd. ENSEMBLE VIVANT. Since its inception almost 3 decades ago, Ensemble Vivant has been a pioneer in the piano Chamber music world, championing exciting inno-
PET OF THE WEEK
vative 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. To quote jazz great Rick Wilkins, “This is the highest-level chamber music making. No matter the genre, there is magic in Ensemble Vivant’s music making”. 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 pm except for May 8th, which will start at 2:00 pm. The Arrow Lakes District Arts Council also holds two Community Artists’ Concerts. They will be held on Sunday, December 13 and Sunday, April 17. These concerts are fund raisers for the Arts Council, and there is a donation jar at the door, for them. The time for these concerts is 2:00 pm. The ticket prices for the concert series are $25.00 for adults, $20.00 for seniors, and $15.00 for students. Children under six are free. There is also a Family rate: $50.00 [2+2]. If you want a reserved seat for the concert series, you must purchase 3 or more concerts from the Concert Series.

LENORA EDITH MOORHOUSE passed away peacefully at home September 24, 2015.
The daughter of Rudolph and Dallas Kamlah, from Ladner, B.C. Born June 1st, 1936 in Ladner, B.C. Brothers Dennis of Ladner, Jerry of Dease Lake, B.C. and Ron (deceased) of Ladner B.C. Funeral services will be held Friday October 23, 2015 at Robertson Memorial United Church, Nakusp, B.C.
SIGRID KATHARINA ZERRATH It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our Mother, Sigrid Katharina Zerrath, nee von Maydell, 19th of September 2015, in the Palliative Care Unit of the Saanich Peninsula Hospital, aged 86, of renal failure. She has gone to meet her husband of 53 years, Roger Zerrath, who prepared the way for her 6 years earlier.

PINT OF
BLOOD CAN SAVE
UP TO
Sigrid was born 20th of July 1929, to Arnold and Anna (nee Schwarz) von Maydell, in Riga, Latvia. She survived the Great Depression, the 2nd World War, and the after war period. She moved to England, learned English, and trained to be a Registered Nurse in London, specializing in Midwifery. Thereafter, she joined her brothers in Vancouver, BC, Canada, immediately being hired by the Vancouver General Hospital. She met Roger, marrying him 1st of December 1956, and began dairy farming with him 1st of September 1958 in the Fraser Valley. In March of 1970 they moved to Edgewood, their home for 40 years, building up the farm there, all the while. After Roger’s passing, she moved to Sidney, BC for her remaining 5 1/2 years. She was industrious, auto-didactically learning all that was necessary for the rural, dairy farming life. She was tenacious, enduring many hardships and sorrows. Fortunately, she was also adaptable enough for all the challenges, changes and vagaries encountered throughout. Above all else, she was interested in all of the world and it’s people, adding breadth and scope to all our lives. She leaves behind her sisters-in-law Ilona Zerrath (Aumuehle, Germany) and Ingeborg von Maydell (Vancouver, BC); daughter, Anne (David) Zerrath of Sidney, BC; son, Hans (Donna) Zerrath, who continues family farm in Edgewood, BC; and 6 beloved grandchildren — Roger and Matthew (and their mother, Jennifer), and Katherine, Samuel, Johannes, and Sophia. Her Funeral Service was the 10th of October, 2015, in the Edgewood Legion Hall. A small “Celebration of Lifeâ€? will be held in Sidney at a later date, yet to be determined. In lieu of Ă owers, please consider making a donation to the Canadian Red Cross. She is missed. We are grateful for her life.

A blast from the past Jillian Trainor Arrow Lakes News
Nakusp got a blast from the past on Oct. 9, when the Arrow Lakes Historical Society featured a slide show exhibit of some of the photos of Jean Spicer. Spicer passed away in 1990, and in 1999 her family donated her photos to the Historical Society, all 1,539 of them. The photos ranged in date from the 50s to the 80s, and had everything from a car driving through a flooded road, a stunning shot of Mount Halcyon rising above the village, to surreal photo of a mountain and lake, where the water was so still, the reflection was practically a mirror. Kyle Kusch, a member of the ALHS, hosted the show and said it was difficult figuring out which photos would make the cut. It took him about a day to go through all of them. “They’re all great, but you only want a certain amount on so many topics. You can’t have all mining photos, all parade photos, all lake photos, you have to have a somewhat equal amount of everything.” The collection offered a chance to see shots of life in Nakusp before the valley was flooded as part of the Columbia Rive

Treaty in the 60s. Many of the photos were damaged by exposure to light, and had to be run through a processing software system in order to be returned to their original state. Those who attended the event were very impressed. “It was great. I think it’s the third of fourth show we’ve seen that Kyle has put together, and he’s just great at selecting the right photos and bringing out the best.” said Bianca Neidhardt. The complete collection of Jean Spicer’s photos can be found at the archives of the Arrow Lakes Historical Society.
