Break in at Fauquier golf course GILLIAN TRAINOR Arrow Lakes News
Brothers reunited after nearly six decades Arthur Van der Kroft embraces his brother John. The brothers were reunited after spending nearly 60 years apart. Members of their families set up the surprise reunion for the two when they contacted Love In The Air, a program in Holland which allows loved ones to be reunited. In order for for the event to go through, it had to be kept quiet. Arthur and his wife Lean head back to Holland on Nov. 5. Photo by Jillian Trainor JILLIAN TRAINOR Arrow Lakes News
When John Van der Kroft left Holland in the summer of 1957, he had no idea it would be 58 years until he would see his brother again. At the age of 21, he had just finished his mandatory two-year stint in the military, and decided to immigrate. “I had my choices. I could go to Africa, or New Zealand, or Australia, but I picked Canada,” he said. “I had some relatives in Bowness, Alberta. They had to more or less co-sign for me.” From Bowness, he gradually made his way from Alberta to British Columbia, eventually making it to Nakusp.
He and his brother Arthur tried to keep in contact over the years, but life moves pretty fast. Both men were busy raising their families. While John had immigrated to Canada, Arthur stayed behind in Holland, Working in construction, building high-rises. Gradually, they fell out of contact. Their children however, did not. John’s youngest son, David, and Arthur’s two daughters, Anita and Diana, hatched a plan to reunite the pair. Anita and Diana contacted a group in Holland called Love in the Air. You can make a wish, and the group tries to turn that wish into a reality. “My daughters wrote a letter to ‘Love in the Air’— he came to us, and he asked me ‘I heard
NAKUSP’s 510 Broadway St W, Nakusp, BC (250) 265-3662
you have a brother in Canada, will you see him?’” said Arthur. “I said ‘Of course I will see him.’ He said, ‘Tuesday, go to airplane to Toronto.” From Toronto, Arthur and his wife, Lean, flew to Vancouver. From there, they took a helicopter ride to Nakusp, where they arrived on Oct.16. The way Love in the Air works, is that plans involving a wish have to remain a secret. If anyone spills the beans about what’s going on, the wish is cancelled. John was in for quite a shock. Around one o’clock on Oct. 16, there was a knock on his door. David was there with his wife Dawn, a paramedic continued on page A2
A break in occurred at the Fauquier golf course on Oct. 29. The event happened sometime either in the late night hours of Oct. 28 or the early morning hours of Oct. 29. “Three golf carts were broken into,” said Corporal Jason Burndred of the RCMP. “From what my investigators told me is they wouldn’t have gotten much for fuel.” It is estimated between $10 to $20 worth of gas was stolen, the equivalent of a full tank of gas for one cart. It may not seem like a lot, but there’s a reason for that. “Sometimes if they’re doing this illegally, they’ll get spooked.” said Burndred. There was no other damage, and the RCMP is investigating the incident. If anyone has any leads, but does not want to give their name, they can call Crime Stoppers. The number is 1-800-222-8477. Calls remain anonymous. A person can also visit the Crime Stoppers website and leave an anonymous tip online.

Nakusp promotes Radon Aware Month jillian trainor Arrow Lakes News
The village of Nakusp has been enlisted to help promote November as Radon Aware month, in partnership with the B.C. Lung Association. Radon is a radioactive gas, which forms naturally by the breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water. It is colourless, odourless, and tasteless, which means it cannot be detected by the senses. When radon is released from the ground, it mixes with fresh air, causing it to become diluted, which results in concentrations too low to be of concern. It does become an issue when it gets into a closed space, like a home, and gets trapped, and people wind up breathing it in. High levels of radon exposure over a long period of time can lead to lung cancer. “There isn’t much of a protective lining in your lungs, they’re very sensitive. The radon decay can damage the DNA within your cell’s nucleus,” said Britt Swoveland of the B.C. Lung Association. “We know that the risk for those exposed at high levels over time is about one in twenty. If you smoke, your risk is about one in three.” The B.C. Lung Association is trying to promote the use of radon awareness kits, which are available for purchase through RadonAware.ca
The kit looks like a hockey puck, and is about the size of the palm of your hand. It sits in the lowest level of your home for a minimum of three months. Radon passively decays over the device. Once the minimum three months are up, it can be packaged up and sent to a lab for analysis. It normally takes a couple of weeks to get the results, which are based on the Health Canada guidelines. “You’ll either have a level that is above the Health Canada guideline, or below,” said Swoveland. “If you’re above, the action you should take is to reduce the radon levels in your home.” There is a shelf life for the kits. If you buy one, make sure to use it within a year of purchase. “I always think it’s good to use them as soon as possible, because if they get little tears or abrasions in the plastic that they’re sealed in, that could affect their levels.” said Swoveland. In order to reduce levels of radon in the home, you can install a sub-slab depressurization system, which is basically a ventilation system for the radon gas. It extends from the sub slab in your home, and ventilates safely to the outdoors. It takes about a day to a day and a half to install a system in your home, and it is recommended you find a certified radon professional to do the work. In an existing home, installing a complete system can cost somewhere between $1,500-$3,000. If you’re building a new home, it’s a little less, around $1,000.
School Board to install cameras on the roofs of local schools jillian trainor Arrow Lakes News
The Board of School District 10 has decided to install security cameras on the roofs at both Nakusp Elementary School and Nakusp Secondary School. The decision comes after several incidents of students climbing onto the roofs of the buildings to party. The recordings will be monitored by the IT manager and manager of operations. If there is an incident where students can be identified, the process would be to contact the parents, the RCMP, and the school. “Anytime there is damage to the schools, or there’s a concern with school property, a lot of times it’s reported to us,”
said Constable Will Martin of the RCMP. “Off the top of my head, there has been spray painting the schools, there have been kids on the roof, there have been sprinkler heads that have been kicked off.” The School Board is worried of the possibility that a student might fall. “It is a safety issue for certain,” said Terry Taylor Superintendent/SecretaryTreasurer of SD 10. “We want to make certain our kids are safe, and if a student were to fall from the roof and injure themselves, there would be serious consequences.” Over the summer, Art Olson, manager of operations for SD 10 was called over in the middle of the night. He was able to catch one of the students, but the others fled. The youth caught would not give any
information as to whom he was with on the roof. The board is unsure of how the students are getting onto the roofs. They have suspicions about how students are getting onto the roof at NES, but none for NSS. The cameras installed will be motion sensitive, and the footage will be monitored off-site to prevent any theft or damage to the recordings. After three months, the footage is destroyed. This is done to quell any potential damage to a student’s future. However, for due diligence, any record of unsafe student access would be archived and documentation of student interviews would also be kept. At this time, there is no set date for when the cameras will be installed.

Program in Holland helped the brothers reunite continued from front page
Standing outside was a reporter and two men. One of the men asked John if he would be surprised to know his brother was outside. “I went outside, and there he was, standing down the street. I didn’t recognize him at first,” he said. “He started walking, and I started walking, I figured I might as well meet him halfway. My blood pressure went up and everything just exploded.” Arthur tried to describe what the meeting was like for him. “You cannot describe it,” he said. “Tears, and emotion. It was nice. It was very nice.” There was a slight drawback. After speaking English for so many years, John lost a lot of his Dutch. While John doesn’t speak much Dutch, Arthur doesn’t speak much English. His wife Lean doesn’t speak it at all. When they talk to each other, it’s mainly Dutch, with a little bit of English here and there. “I can read it, but I have a hard time speaking it,” said John. “I can’t make up a sentence like ‘How’s the weather today?’” The pair has spent much time together over the last few weeks.
“I took him up the mountains for a drive, looking for bears,” said John. “For four days, he stayed in Castlegar with David. He took him out fishing, that’s about it.” They also spent time catching up, talking about when they were little, about girls, and life in Holland after WWII. One thing they don’t talk about is the war itself. John was three years old when the war broke out. Arthur was only one. “We had seen people dropping dead on the sidewalks, starving to death,” said John. “Those are things you don’t want to remember.” For Arthur, one thing worth remembering from this trip is how great it’s been being able to meet his extended family. John has six children, fourteen grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren. This is probably going to be the last time the two brothers will ever see each other. John is 79. Arthur is 77, and neither one can afford the trip to visit. This trip would not have been possible if the tickets weren’t already paid for. “It’s breaking my heart when I must leave.” said Arthur. While something like this may never happen again, the pair is grateful they had the chance to see each other once more. Ar-
From left to right: Arthur Van der Kroft, his brother John, and Lean, Arthur’s wife, relax on the couch. This is the first time in 58 years the brothers have been able to see each other. Members of their families set it up through a program in Holland called ‘Love in the Air’. One clause in the program is that everything has to be kept secret, or the event is called off. Neither brother knew they would be getting a chance at a reunion. Photo by Jillian Trainor thur and Lean fly back to Holland on Nov. 5.
School District 10 board meeting briefs Fauquier property update The school board is currently in the process of purchasing a piece of property from the Agricultural Land Reserve. Along with getting the property rezoned, the board is also in contact with BC Hydro to see if any additional septic hookups would be needed. If no hookups are allowed or needed, the next step would be to involve a Registered Onsite Wastewater Practitioner (ROWP), to see what needs to be done in regard to the septic system. Lucerne connectivity update At the last Educational Partnership committee meeting, the options for Internet at Lucerne Elementary Secondary School were provided. Originally, two options were available. One was a wired Ethernet system, the other was a wireless system. A third option, fibre op, was recently brought to the table. The IT manager for SD 10, Patrick Martin is in the process of doing research on the pros and cons of using fibre op. A timeline for information to be presented has been tentatively made for the next regularly scheduled meeting of the Education Partnership Committee meeting on Nov. 10. If Martin can gather the information needed by then, a decision will be made at the next regular board meeting on Nov. 24. Election of a new chairperson and vice chair The board has been without a chairperson since Pam Craig announced her retirement last month. At this meeting, Lora Lee Brekke, one of the school trustees was nominated for the position. No other nominations were put forward, and Brekke was voted in unanimously. The board also took the opportunity to vote in its vice chair as well. Quinn De Courcy was nominated, and was also voted in unanimously. The next Educational Partnership committee meeting is Nov. 10 at 7 p.m. The regular board meeting is Nov. 24 at 7 p.m.

Join us at the Nakusp Public Library Monday Nov. 9, at 7 p.m. to welcome Nelson author Diana Morita Cole as she launches her memoir of her birth and early life in an American internment camp. Sideways: Memoir of a Misfit, chronicles the childhood of a Nikkei born prisoner in one of the many concentration camps created around the Pacific Rim during WWII to incarcerate citizens and legal immigrants based solely on their ancestry. The book shatters the notion that newborn babies and children were unscathed by their unlawful imprisonment inside these detention centres. Critics say Cole’s story offers amusing and piercing insights into the exile and resettlement of her family and provides the reader with a surprising new awareness of the Nikkei experience throughout North America and Latin America. There will also be a 28 minute long documentary film called The Hidden Internment showing about the extraordinary rendition of Japanese Peruvians during WWII. Refreshments and goodies will be provided.

Columbia Basin Trust hosts open house Jillian trainor Arrow Lakes News
Columbia Basin Trust invited residents of Nakusp to the Emergency Services Building for an open house on Oct. 29. The Trust wanted to touch base with the community on where they are with their three-phase program. The first phase was a community engagement process called “Our Trust, Our Future.” The process was put on by the Columbia Basin Trust to reengage with the people of the Basin to talk about the future of the organization. From that first phase, over 17,000 pieces of information were provided by residents of the Basin. Phase two was reflecting on the data, and analyzing what recommendations they could turn into a reality. The trust is now on phase three, which is coming back to the communities and letting residents know what CBT will be doing over the next five years. A variety of food was provided, and people were encouraged to walk around and check out the information provided by the CBT on what they plan on doing, and also talk to members of the CBT, including President and CEO, Neil Muth.
“Here in Nakusp, we always get a strong turnout for events that we put on, so it’s great to be able to spend some time with the folks here,” he said. “It’s an opportunity to reconnect with people and talk to them, and that’s how you build relationships and move forward on various projects.” Residential input is something CBT values, especially when making decisions involving programs in the community. “We want to make sure that the programs and supports that we put in place are well thought out, well founded, and have a foundation in what people want from us,” said Kindy Gosal, director of special initiatives at CBT. Basin residents appreciated the efforts of CBT. “There’s been a lot of helpful conversation,” said Neil Johnson, project manager for the Kaslo Housing Society. “The reps from CBT are truly engaged with you and wanting to help you understand, and lead you in the right direction to carry out your projects with them.” Peter Welkerling, president of Nakusp’s Chamber of Commerce, recognizes the value of having CBT involved in the community. “Without them, a lot of projects would not have been done, or would have been much more difficult to do them,” he said.

Kidney Foundation recognizes Service BC jillian trainor Arrow Lakes News
Over 500 people in British Columbia are currently waiting for a transplant. Last year, 30 people died while waiting. Mickey Wojnarowski was one of those waiting for a donor. “I found out I had a really rare liver disease, primary sclerosing cholangitis, PSC,” he said. “Basically what that is, is scar tissue inside the bile ducts, inside the liver. The bile builds up, and is unable to leave the liver, it just stays and backs up. Bile being caustic, it starts eating away at your liver, causing sclerosis.” After being matched with his wife for a live transplant, Wojnarowski now has a new liver, and wants to help raise awareness about organ donation in the province. Only 20 per cent of B.C. residents are registered as organ donors Service B.C. wants to help change that.
Since April, they’ve been working with B.C. Transplant and the Kidney Foundation in order to increase the number of donors in the province. They’re not asking people to become donors. They’re just asking people to register a “yes” or “no” decision. So far, 15 people have registered at the Service B.C. in Nakusp. In recognition of their work, they have been awarded the Community Leadership Award by the Kidney Foundation of Canada. “The Kidney Foundation made it a goal a year ago to increase transplantation and organ donation registration by 50 per cent over the next five years,” said Edna Humphreys of the B.C. Kidney Foundation. Humphreys said with over 500 people in the province needing an organ transplant, about 400 of that number need a kidney, which is why the Kidney Foundation is spearheading the campaign. “Since Service B.C. came on in April, the number of organ donors has increased over 19,000. It’s up the provincial average by 15 per cent already.” she said.

A taste of the baroque jillian trainor Arrow Lakes News
The Bonnington Arts Centre was packed on Oct. 25 as people waited to see Ensemble Caprice, a five-piece baroque group based out of Montreal. The group performed a series called Salsa Baroque: Music of Latin America and Spain. Baroque is a style of music composed from 1600-1750. The stage started out empty. Then, suddenly, the melody of a guitar could be heard, gradually getting louder until group member David Jacques made his appearance and took his place. Susie Napper came out next, keeping tempo by clapping her hands before reaching her cello. Finally, Matthias Maute, Sophie Larivière and Ziya Tabassian enter through the side door, each playing an instrument. For Maute and Larivière, it was a flute, for Tabassian, a drum. Each one wore striking shades of black and blue. Closing your eyes, you could almost believe you were in 17th century Spain. Most of the instruments, from the small tenpegged guitar with only nine strings, to the fifteen or so recorders used throughout the night, are replicas of the baroque instruments of the17th and 18th centuries. All but one. The cello Napper played throughout the evening dates back to 1698. Those attending the event didn’t know what to
expect when they bought their tickets. “I was really blown away by the originality and the perfection, and the precision of all the instruments and the way they were played,” said Trish Hueston. “I haven’t heard these instruments live before. I’ve heard violin, cellos and guitars, but not a baroque guitar, not a baroque cello, and not all the other instruments.” The music blended together beautifully. It was hard to tell where one song ended and another began. During a particularly lively song, La Folia, Tabassian came out on stage playing the tambourine while stomping the ground wearing around his ankles bunches of wooden shells with seeds inside them. Ensemble Caprice marks the first time the Arrow Lakes District Arts Council has hosted a baroque group. “We have a retired bassoon player in B.C., George Zuckerman, who has decided to help artists from down east come in and do small town B.C.,” said Marilyn Massey, a member of the Arts Council. “It’s through him that we get groups like Ensemble Caprice. We had a group from him last year and he’s trying to bring in another group next year.” The group received a standing ovation at the end of the night. The next event for the Arts Council is the Galena Trio on Sunday, Jan. 10.

Community Halloween flash mob performs
Clockwise: If you were at Overwaitea on Halloween, you were in for a real “treat.” A flash mob, choreographed by Cassia Parent and Nikki Weimer had the group doing some “tricky” dance moves to the song Dracula’s Wedding, by Outkast. Shoppers looked on as students from Cassia Parent’s various dance classes performed in the produce section of Overwaitea. After performing at Overwaitea, the group headed over to What’s Brewing on Broadway for a repeat showing. Photos by Jillian Trainor

One hundred and first in an alphabetical series on West Kootenay/Boundary place names Earlier in this series, we looked at how the origin of Castlegar’s name was definitively established after a century of uncertainty. However, the jury’s still out on Kinnaird, originally known as West Waterloo, and first mentioned in the Trail Creek News of April 16, 1897: “West Waterloo … is doing some improvement.” (East Waterloo, better known as simply Waterloo, is today’s lower Ootischenia; we’ll get to it much later in this series.) West Waterloo appeared as a stop on the Columbia and Western Railway’s schedule as of November 1897. The earliest mention of Kinnaird yet discovered is in William Blakemore’s Report of Royal Commission on Matters Relating to the Sect of Doukhobors in the Province of British Columbia, dated Dec. 21, 1912: “The Doukhobor Inquiry commissioner, with his secretary and photographer and others who accompanied him yesterday on a visit to the Doukhobor settlements on the banks of the Columbia and Kootenay Rivers between Kinnaird and Brilliant, spent a day of unique and varied interest. Crossing the Columbia River from Kinnaird on the cable ferry installed by the Society, they come to what was in the early days of the mining development of this locality called Waterloo …” Kinnaird was on the CPR timetable the following year. However, a post office didn’t open until 1945, by which time Kinnaird was becoming a bedroom community of both Trail and Castlegar (the post office closed in 1973). Kinnaird was incorporated as a village in 1948, re-incorporated as a town in 1967, and amalgamated with Castlegar in 1974, whereupon a contest was held to name the new city. Not only was Castlegar the landslide favourite with 825 votes, Kinnaird wasn’t even the runner-up: it finished sixth with a mere 11 votes, behind Selkirk, Castleaird, Castlegar-Kinnaird, and Twin Rivers. Despite the seeming indifference of residents, Kinnaird was nevertheless well entrenched and its name is perpetuated thanks to a bridge, elementary school, two churches, a park, and a community hall — although the area is often called South Castlegar. Today Kinnaird is recognized by the BC Geographic Names database as an “urban community.” While the dividing line between Kinnaird and Castlegar is no longer apparent, it used to be where the highway
crosses the railway tracks near Safeway. So what of the name’s origin? It comes from the Scottish Gaelic An Ceann Аrd, meaning “high headland,” but how and when it was applied to a West Kootenay whistlestop isn’t clear. The British Columbia Centennial Directory, published in 1967, claimed “Around 1904 the CPR … put in a box car station at the old Waterloo trail crossing and called it Kinnaird station, in honor of Lord Kinnaird, who was a shareholder in the CPR.” (Roger Burrows, in Railway Mileposts, Vol. II, suggests the name was changed to prevent confusion with Waterloo, Ont.) Arthur Fitzgerald Kinnaird, 11th Lord
Kinnaird of Inchture and third Baron Kinnaird of Rossie (1847-1923), is mainly remembered as a leading soccer player; there’s little evidence he or his forbears held stock in the CPR. Just the same, when the Town of Kinnaird received its coat of arms in 1969, it bore markings from Baron Kinnaird’s Arms of Scotland. There are two villages named Kinnaird in Scotland, plus Kinnaird Head, which projects into the North Sea on Scotland’s east coast. Another theory is that our Kinnaird is named after an early resident. We’ll look more closely at this next week and reveal a new candidate for the community’s namesake.
Arthur Fitzgerald Kinnaird, the 11th Lord Kinnaird, seen here as depicted by Vanity Fair in 1912, is often suggested as the namesake of the Castlegar neighborhood, which was once a separate municipality. Wikipedia

Dwayne Roy ALARIC It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Dwayne Roy Alaric on October 11, 2015. Dwayne was born in Nakusp B.C. on January 6, 1968. Dwayne worked various jobs – from the shake mill, to cutting shake blocks, “where he was know as a machine”. He also worked other jobs in logging, cooking, carpentry, roofing. He was an Inn Keeper, and finally the job that suited him best: “CAMPSITE HOST” at Box Lake. Dwayne’s childhood nickname was Mr. D, and when his first niece was born, he was proud to be called UNCLE “D.” Dwayne dearly loved all his nieces and nephews. Dwayne had a great sense of humor and loved to tell a joke or play a prank. Music was a huge part of “D” and he had learned to play his “geetar” quite well. Gaining himself another nick name “Dwayne Yoakam”. Dwayne never forgot the times when he had nothing, and always strived to fill a void in someone else’s life. He had a big heart and a quiet strength. He would take a homeless man a bagged lunch and give him a sweater to keep him warm. During the holidays he cooked many turkey dinners for those less fortunate. Dwayne is predeceased by his mother Gail, and his youngest sister, Debbie, both in 2010. He is survived by his father Roy (Audrey), brother Shane (JoAnne), three sisters, Annette ( Aaron), Leona (Mike), and Jody, as well as numerous aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews, one great-niece and four great-nephews. Dwayne is also survived by a host of close friends, including Trisha, and his three beloved dogs, Roscoe, Daisy and Cooter. May we always keep your memory, the sound of your laugh and the strength of your hugs in our hearts.

• This Week in History • November 6, 1925 Over $250 was raised through the sale of work and a concert for the Arrow Lakes Hospital. The opera house was filled to capacity and everyone enjoyed the performances by the various school children from Glenbank and Nakusp. Graham’s Landing raised $15.60 and many people from all over the valley sent produce and fruit. The young people of Nakusp went the limit this year by way of pranks on businesses premises and private houses - evidently taking advantage of the absence from town of the local constable. On Sunday morning were found bundles of shingles strewn around town from a building on Broadway under construction, gates were removed long distances, business signs removed and installed on competitor’s premises, motor cars and vehicles drawn to unexpected places, even church signs were taken off and placed in front of the barber shop. Windows, of course, were plastered with soap and candle grease, but most people took the results good naturally. In one instance the practical jokes went beyond the limit when it was found that wire fences had been cut on a farm in Brouse with pliers, and in this instance prosecution of the culprits is spoken of. November 7, 1935 One of the worst storms on the Arrow Lakes was ex-
perienced Oct. 28. The strong wind was piercingly cold. Two motor boats and a sailboat owned by D. Waterfield and L. Brown were smashed on the shore after the anchors broke loose. C.S. Leary, journeying by tug, S.S. Rex. from Arrowhead, was caught in the gale Sunday night and was forced to tie up north of Pingston. Mr. Leary, along with engineer A.Turner, continued the journey Monday under great difficulty. November 8, 1945 The CPR steamer Minto is once more on the way for repair, with the poorest of accommodation provided as a substitute. Repairs may take from six to eight weeks and the Minto must go on the ways for repairs every two years. During the tie up of the Minto the steamer Beaton takes over the run. The Beaton is not able to maintain the regular schedule and there is only one small cabin capable of holding around 12 passengers. Personal luggage has to be left on the open barge. One passenger, attempting to transfer his luggage from the barge to the boat fell into the lake. Fortunately the boat was docked at Halcyon at the time, and the man was able to swim, so that he was quickly rescued from the icy water. It certainly seems that there is a great need for another boat on this run, and this is especially apparent when the Minto is under repair.

Work is proceeding on the addition to the Arlada Dairy Company Cheese Factory at Edgewood. The addition will allow for rearrangement of the plant permitting easier handling of the product. Alfred Slater is being helped by the government and will be able to store his cheese for the 90 day period now demanded of them. Once the cheese is conditioned it can be sold retail as formerly. November 10, 1955 The Arrow Park Women’s Institute elected Mrs. Roberts president, Mrs. G. Wilson vice-president, Mrs. J. Lee secretary. Mrs. a. Kent and Mrs. E. Brunner directors. November 4, 1965 For the most part Halloween went off without damage with only windows soaped on the main street. However, someone threw and egg, breaking the Nakusp Hardware window and splattering the new furniture. Around supper time two heavy explosions were heard but no damage resulted from these. November 6, 1985 In recent weeks crews have been preparing the corner of Highway 6 at Box Lake and finishing touches were applied late last week. The new alignment will eliminate a very dangerous corner which has seen several accidents in the last few years.
