Nakusp Remembers Members of the RCMP, Royal Canadian Legion, and community civil servants attend the Remembrance Day ceremony at Nakusp’s cenotaph. Despite the rainy weather, many people came out to honour those who lost their lives in World War One, World War Two, the Korean War, and more recent wars.

Members of the community came together to pay their respects for Canadian soldiers at the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Nakusp Royal Canadian Legion. The ceremony started with colour guard marching to the front of stage. “This year being the 100th anniversary of Flanders Fields, we found it appropriate that we should say that poem.” said Harvey Truax, president of the Nakusp branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. The poem was written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae in
1915. As Truax read the poem, members of the audience joined in. Following the reading of the poem, prayers were said by Chaplain Guy Duchaine and the community choir sang “Remember Flanders Fields.” Maia Zinselmeyer read her essay about WWI, and her sister Zoe read her poem and essay about war and its aftermath. At the end of the service, Truax read the roll call of local men who lost their lives in WWI and WWII, along with the two men who died in training exercises. CONTINUED ON A6
Motorists are being warned about winter conditions after an accident on the Monashee Pass Monday. At about 4:30 p.m., emergency personnel were called to a single-vehicle accident 45 kilometres east of Cherryville on Highway 6. A vehicle had gone 20 to 30 feet down a bank. Two of the occupants of the vehicle were able to get out, but a third person was trapped inside. “Passersby managed to get down the bank and keep blankets on them. They did an excellent job,” said Tony Clayton, with the Lumby Fire Department. Jaws of Life didn’t have to be used to remove the individual from the vehicle but ropes and a stretcher were required to get them up the bank to the highway. “There appears to be non-life threatening injuries,” said Clayton. It’s believed road conditions played a factor in the accident. “It was ugly, a lot of snow. It was even slippery for us,” said Clayton. “Our guys did an exceptional job given the circumstances.” Clayton has a message for all motorists heading out on to the road. “It’s winter out there in any of the mountain passes. Be prepared.” The occupants of the vehicle were from the Arrow Lakes area.

Changes coming to the B.C. Societies Act JILLIAN TR AINOR Arrow Lakes News
Changes are coming to the B.C. Societies Act. The Act is changing because it’s an older piece of legislation, created in 1977, and is in need of modernization. Some of the central goals of the revamp are to increase transparency, provide flexible governance structures, clarify record keeping, create more flexibility, and to distinguish between different types of societies- member funded vs. public. There are currently about 27,000 different societies in B.C. These societies vary in size, purpose, scope, and sophistication. “Every society is going to have to transition to the new act,” said Robyn Goldsmith of Forward Law, a company based out of Kamloops and Revelstoke. “All societies will have to start filing electronically, and most societies are going to have to update their bylaws and constitution.” For some, this transition will be a minor project, for others it will be a significantly larger undertaking. Along with being able to make changes electronically, there is a new concept for member funded
societies vs. publicly funded societies. Member funded societies would be groups like professional associations, or sports clubs, places where members pay dues and receive a service. Publicly funded societies would be associations like charities, or groups that receive government funding. Multiple classes of members can be created as well. There need no longer be more voting members than non-voting members in a society. The new act will require more public disclosure as well. Societies are now required to disclose any remuneration paid to its directors, its 10 highest paid employees, and contractors earning over a certain amount of money. This requirement will not apply to member funded societies. Other changes to the Act include rules regarding conflicts of interest for directors and senior manager will be strengthened, proxy voting may be allowed at members’ meetings, if they are permitted by the bylaws, and clarification surrounding record keeping. The new act received the Royal Assent on May 14 and the act could come into effect as early as January 1, 2016.
Digitized newspapers GREG NESTEROFF Nelson Star

Beginning again: A misfit’s tale JILLIAN TR AINOR Arrow Lakes News
Diana Morita Cole doesn’t look like a misfit. She’s in her 70s, petite, and soft-spoken. But, as her memoir, Sideways: Memoir of a Misfit shows, she’s been one all her life. Cole’s story begins in the Minidoka Internment Camp near Jerome, Idaho, where she was born. She gave a reading of her memoir on Nov. 9, at the Nakusp Public Library. Throughout the reading Cole gave examples of being a misfit, going all the way back to when she was still in the womb. “Sideways was the conclusion of my mother’s attending physician,” she began. “’Your baby is sideways,’ Dr. Sugihara, a captive like us, spoke to my father as he pulled the stethoscope from his ears with one hand, the other resting on my mother’s swollen belly.” Cole’s mother was 44 at the time. Because of her age, the doctor wasn’t sure if her mother would survive. “Luckily I, a mere fetus at the time, had big ears. I turned a somersault in-utero, one of my rare moments of grace, and my mother survived.” After spending the first year-and-a-half of her life at Minidoka, she and the rest of her family were released in 1945, after the end of World War Two. Realizing they were no longer welcome in their home in Hood River, Oregon, the Morita family relocated to Chicago, Illinois. The story of the Morita family isn’t a singular incident. Many Japanese families were rounded up and placed in detention centres, much like the Minidoka Camp, during World War Two. “What I wanted to help people understand was the internment experience didn’t just happen in Canada,” said Cole. “It was also in the United States, and in fact it happened all around the Pacific Rim.” In addition to her memoir, Cole also brought with her a documentary about her brother-in-law, Hidden Internment: The Art Shibayama Story. It documents the ordeal of Shibayama, along with other members of the Japanese community who had immigrated to various Latin American countries in the decades prior to WWII. The documentary featured former prisoners of the internment camps, and showed what life was like for people of Japanese descent in Peru, before war broke out. “There were 13 Latin American countries that were involved. It gives you a different view of the whole thing, when you realize there were so many countries involved,” she said. Members of the audience were impressed with Cole, and with

Diana Cole listens as a member of the audience asks her a question. Cole was at the Nakusp Public Library on Nov. 9 for a reading of her book Sideways: Memoir of a Misfit. Jillian Trainor photo the documentary. “I thought it was tremendous, I really did,” said Jane Lancaster. “To have somebody who’s obviously not bitter, but who has suffered a lot, talk to us with such an open sort of heart, it really touches one.” Some members of the audience remember when there were internment camps here in the Kootenays. “I was born here, and whenever we went past the New Denver place, we weren’t allowed to look,” said Elaine Lindsay. “My mother would turn my face around so we wouldn’t see anything about the internment camp.” This is Cole’s first book. She doesn’t remember her time at the internment camp. Everything recalled from that period in her life was recounted to her by her brothers and sisters. Her siblings were part of the reason she wrote her story. They’re all elderly now. Four have passed away. Cole felt she needed to get their story out. Another reason Cole wrote her story is because this is a period in Canadian history which isn’t discussed very much. “Certainly it’s talked about more in the schools than it was, say 20 years ago, certainly when my son was growing up,” she said. “It was not talked about, but now it’s being talked about at the University of Toronto and the University of B.C.”

When Cheryl Truax attended the award ceremony at the Legion following Remembrance Day activities, she didn’t expect to be on the receiving end of one of the awards. She was given the Meritorious Service Medal in recognition for her work both with the Legion, and the community at large. This is the highest award given out by the Legion in Canada. “I was totally shocked,” she said. “I’m still shocked.” Truax has been involved with work in the community since the late 1950s. She has done many things since then, including being a Sunday school teacher, a youth group chaperone, brownie leader, bingo kitchen supervi-

Because Cheryl’s husband Harvey is branch president, Legion member Ken Williams gave out the award instead. “I wasn’t supposed to know about this, but they had to get the information from somebody,” joked Harvey Truax. Nominations for the medal have to be sent in four or five months
in advance. The nominations have to be approved in the West Kootenay zone, which are then sent of to the BC-Yukon Command branch, and then the Dominion branch. Dominion then checks up on the nomination to see if the person nominated has done everything they say they’ve done. If it’s approved, the award is sent back down the line to the branch. “You can pick any member that you think has done a really good job in the Legion,” said

B.C. Views: Green shift returns, goes global TOM FLE TCHER We will soon learn what Premier Christy Clark and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have in mind for Canada’s renewed effort to influence climate change. As they prepare to join the 40,000 people jetting to Paris for the next big United Nations summit to deal with human impact on the world’s weather, here is some context for what is to come in December and beyond. Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion served as environment minister under former Liberal prime minister Paul Martin. Then, as Liberal leader, Dion’s proposed “green shift” carbon tax was pivotal only in ending his leadership. With a majority government this time, he promises the entire federal cabinet will be involved.
Dion gave a revealing interview to The Globe and Mail last week about his experience in government. “The old system was to give the file of the environment to the minister of the environment and say, ‘deal with it, be the hero of the environment groups, but don’t bother us because we have jobs to create and an economy to grow’,” Dion said. “That will not work.” It certainly didn’t work, which is not surprising since Dion is admitting the Liberals considered the environment ministry a mere public relations tool. This was the period when Canada signed on to the Kyoto Protocol, then pretended to care about it as the United States rejected it in a unanimous vote of Congress. We now understand more
about those environmental groups, most funded by U.S. billionaires to target the Canadian oil and gas industry while the U.S. booms. Their tactics were on display in the defeat of the Keystone XL oil pipeline to the U.S., with arguments that even President Barack Obama acknowledged were exaggerated. Dion’s ill-fated “green shift” wasn’t just about greenhouse gases. He intended to impose a national carbon tax and use the proceeds to eliminate child poverty. This concept is back, on a global scale. If you’ve been to the movies lately, you may have seen a slick animated commercial sponsored by the UN, featuring animals running the world from the seats of the General Assembly. “We have a plan,”
trumpets the elegant llama at the podium, not only to fix climate change but to eliminate poverty as well. One problem with Kyoto was that it left emerging economies like China and India untouched. And while Canada endures false allegations of subsidizing fossil fuels, actual subsidies are huge in petro-states like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Algeria and Indonesia, where gasoline sells on average at a third of Canadian prices. China and India’s carbon emissions have about tripled since the Kyoto public relations gesture in 1997. That growth is one reason why Canada’s share of global emissions has now fallen to below two per cent. Here in B.C., Clark intends to unveil her “Climate 2.0” plan before heading to Paris. We’ll see

if it includes another increase in B.C.’s vaunted carbon tax, which now translates to about seven cents on a litre of gasoline. Even without carbon taxes, about a third of the pump price Canadians pay is federal, provincial and local tax. In Metro Vancouver, it’s closer to 40 per cent. In Venezuela, a big winner in the Keystone XL decision, gas sells for around two cents a litre. The B.C. government admits its post-carbon tax reduction in greenhouse gas emissions was largely due to the global recession of 2008-09. Now with crude oil at historic low prices, B.C.’s carbon tax is a weak signal lost in the noise of a world-wide glut of oil and gas.

It was an exciting day for Nakusp’s Atom and Peewee Falcons on Nov.14. The Peewee hockey team played the first match of the day against the Castlegar Knights. Seven minutes into the first period, the Knights scored the first goal of the game. The Falcons were able to tie up the game, but Castlegar wasn’t going to stand for that. They scored again with just over five minutes left in the period. In the second period, both teams fought hard for another goal, but it was Nakusp who scored at the halfway point in the period, once again tying up the game. In the third and final period, Castlegar scored twice within a minute, making the score 4-2. The Falcons were giving their all, but the Knights weren’t making it easy for them. Then, suddenly, with just under three minutes left, the Falcons scored, and the home crowd cheered. The Falcons were able to keep the Knights away from their net, and with 38 seconds left in the period, they scored again, and the game ended in a tie of 4-4. “They wanted to put on a good show, and they worked hard,” said coach Wayne Hascarl. Hascarl said the second wind the team got in the last three minutes showed them what they’re capable of. “It shows them that they can come back, and never to say die.”

The Atom level Falcons proved once again that they are a force to be reckoned with after defeating the Predators 8-0. One standout player for the team is Dakota Fizzard, who scored one hat trick in the game, and was very close to scoring a second. “He’s pretty strong for his age. He controls himself pretty good.” said Mike Smith, coach of the Atom team. Next weekend, the Atom team plays against Trail Three, in Grand Forks. “We’re going to have a couple of practises this week and get ready for that game,” said Smith. “It will be a good test, and see how we match up against one of the top teams.” The Falcon’s Atom team is currently undefeated.

NAKUSP SECONDARY SCHOOL REMEMBERS Top l-photo: Ryoko Kobayashi speaks to the crowd before the Student Leadership Committee reads In Flanders Fields, by John McCrae. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the poem’s creation. Poppies were posted on the doors leading to the gymnasium at NSS for Remembrance Day. Created by the Grade 8 Art Class, each poppy has the name of a local who served their country in times of war. Most of the people on these poppies have since passed away.

Jillian Trainor photos CONTINUED FROM A1 After the closing ceremony, people made their way down to the cenotaph for the outdoor service. Though the rain came pouring down, a good number of people attended. Once the colour guard arrived at the cenotaph, Chaplain Guy Duchaine said a prayer to begin the ceremony.
During the wreath laying, various members of the community came up to lay a wreath, including Constable Chris Carruthers of the RCMP, mayor Karen Hamling, and MLA Katrine Conroy. After the wreath laying, Pastor Dan Friedman said a prayer on behalf of the military and those who fight for our country — one for lost loved ones and families,
and one for our leaders of government. Harvey Truax thanked the crowd for coming out, despite the miserable weather. “It’s not great,” he said. “I’m sure it was a lot worse when those fellows and many more lost their lives.” As the colour party led the way back to the Legion, the veterans marching were applauded by the crowd as they went by.

ALDAC hosts its annual Black and White Evening
Featuring an auction of artwork created by local artists JILLIAN TR AINOR Arrow Lakes News
The Arrow Lakes and District Arts Council (ALDAC) held its annual Black and White event at the Royal Canadian Legion on Nov. 14. Attendants were encouraged to come wearing clothing that was black, white, or a little bit of both. The doors opened at 6:30 p.m. and soft music played through the speaker. Food and sweets were free, but tickets for alcohol were $5 each. Small tables dotted the hall, most seating three or four, but some were able to seat six. The tables were decorated with either a black or white table cloth, and each table had a white candle in a glass, and an empty wine bottle which held a balloon of either black or white. The stage held the artwork, which would be auctioned off later in the evening. People were free to check out the artwork before the bidding took place. Among the pieces being auctioned off were a number of works from local artist Karen Dubreuil, a photograph by Rosie Lukenda, and a hand-crafted cloak by Pamela Oneil.
A division of
This is the third Black and White event hosted by the council, and the first one not chaired by local artist Deborah Rushfelt. “She’s going back to her art, so the rest of us in the council had to pick it up and go with it,” said Marilyn Massey, one of the chairs on the council. “It’ had sort of a transition period, but I’m sure that once we get it reorganized it’s going to take off again.” This year, a total of 26 pieces were auctioned off. “We approach individuals and ask if they’d like to volunteer and offer us an art piece that we can auction off. I’ve talked to several who are not here tonight, but are going to start working on artwork for next year.” said Massey. There were several popular pieces, but the one that drew the highest bids was the final lot of the auction, Pamela Oneil’s hand-crafted cloak. “I figured either everybody would want it, or nobody would want it. I was a bit apprehensive going in,” she said. “I was quite surprised in some ways, because I saw some of the exhibits coming through, and I knew the hard work that goes into painting.” Oneil says her experience with the evening has made her excited to do this again next year.

SUBMIT TED Heritage BC is now accepting nominations for their 35th Annual Awards Program. Heritage BC’s Annual Awards Program recognizes the outstanding and significant achievements in heritage conservation of individuals, organizations, groups, businesses and government in communities across BC. This year Heritage BC’s awards will be presented in four categories: Heritage Conservation, Heritage Education and Awareness, Heritage Planning and Management, and the Ruby Nobbs Volunteer Award. There are also different levels for the awards categories: Outstanding Achievement, Honour, and Recognition. Heritage BC’s Awards recognize best practices and high standards in heritage conservation, based on the national Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada. The awards also emphasize innovation and commitment to heritage conservation that also contributes to environmental, economic, social, and/or cultural sustainability. “This is an opportunity to showcase the innovative and quality work in heritage restoration in BC,” says Kathryn Molloy, executive director of Heritage BC. “We are especially proud of the addition of climate change mitigation and adaptation to this year’s criteria, offering opportunity for projects to showcase how heritage buildings can be models of energy efficiency and climate action.” Individuals, groups, organizations, businesses, government agencies, and other entities will be considered for a Heritage BC award, based on evaluation and selection criteria for each of the categories. Projects nominated for an award must have been completed within the past three calendar years. Heritage BC award winners receive a special framed certificate, acknowledgement on our website and in all of our publications. All awards are presented at the awards ceremony and gala, which takes place in Vancouver during Heritage Week in February 2016. Past award recipients from 2014 include the renovation of York Theatre in Vancouver, restoration of Central Elementary School in Kelowna, and the Hands on Heritage project completed by the Langley Heritage Society. Previous award winners can be seen at www.heritagebc.ca. Nominations can be submitted through Heritage BC’s website until the end of the day on Friday, Dec. 18, 2015.

Recalling Kitto’s Landing GREG NESTEROFF Arrow Lakes News
One hundred and third in an alphabetical series on West Kootenay/Boundary place names Among the many lost landings on Kootenay Lake is Kitto (or Kitto’s, or Kittos), where Kokanee Creek Provincial Park is today. The landing is believed to be named for Henry Richard Kitto (1867-1954), who was born in Everton, Merseyside, an inner-city area just north of Liverpool. He married Elizabeth Bell, born in 1869 in Derby, Derbyshire, and they came to Canada in early 1892 with two infant daughters. The family is nowhere on the 1901 census, but interestingly, a William J. Kitto, 24, was then a cook at the Athabasca mine near Nelson. His relationship to Henry is unclear; they weren’t siblings. In Kootenay Lake Chronicles, Nick Dosenberger recounted arriving in the spring of 1908: “Next morning we caught the steamer Kaslo for Kitto’s Landing (Kokanee), on the north shore of the West Arm of Kootenay Lake … Most of the original hardy pre-emptors who settled in the Kokanee area around 1905 had either abandoned their pre-emptions by 1908, or sold out. Charles Westly Busk, however had a crew of boys developing his property while W.A. Middleton and W. Kitto were also on the scene.” Meanwhile, Henry’s family settled in Calgary, where he had a bicycle repair shop. An ad in the Weekly Herald in 1897 promised “tires, inner tubes, toe clips, balls, wrenches, spokes, pedals, handle grips, nuts, bolts, caps, valves, etc.” By 1901, Kitto also dealt in guns and sporting goods. Nine more Kitto children were born in Calgary, the last of whom was stillborn in January 1910. The family then left for Kootenay Lake, judging from this item in the Creston Review of Feb. 18, 1910: “H. Bothwell, who went to Calgary some time ago, is expected to go through Creston on his way to [Kokanee], a town near Nelson, with a car of farm furnishings for H. Kitto as Mr. Kitto sold his home and candy store and gun shop and is taking his wife on a farm for the benefit of her health.” The earliest known reference to Kitto Landing appeared in the Nelson Daily News on April 4, 1912 concerning a government wharf there. Coincidentally, another son was born to the Kittos in Nelson five days later. During this era, Kitto Landing was noteworthy as the spot where ore was hauled from the Molly Gibson mine. The 1918 BC Minister of Mines report noted: “This mine has been operated by

Henry Kitto and son Walter (1912-87), date and place unknown. Photo courtesy Kitto/Bond family the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. Motor haulage from the mill to Kitto Landing was used for the first time this year and is reported to be considerably more economical than the use of teams.” By then, however, the family had moved to Nelson, where they lived at 407 Latimer St. and Henry was proprietor of the Nelson Gun, Lock, and Cycle Works at 412 Ward St. (Further diversifying his business, he also dealt in typewriters.) Kitto’s Landing was included in the civic directory for a few more years — along with resident fruitgrower W. Kitto — before falling into obscurity. Elizabeth Kitto died in Nelson in 1929 of malignant endocarditis and myocarditis, age 60. Henry retired to Vancouver around 1942. One night, while crossing a street on a dark, rainy night to catch a bus, he was struck and killed by a car. He was 88. No births, marriages, or deaths were ever recorded at Kitto’s Landing. It’s not recognized by the BC Geographic Names database. But it’s not quite forgotten: Henry and Elizabeth Kitto’s granddaughter Karen Bond still lives in Nelson.

100 bike benchmark for Shon’s Bike and Ski th
JANIS NEUFELD
It was a monumental day for Shon’s Bike and Ski as the 100th bike was sold in 2015. The happy winner purchased a Marin mountain bike on Nov. 13 and was awarded a $100 Shon’s gift certificate in celebration. Cal Kusch was all smiles when he learned that he was the lucky customer, going home with not only a new bike, but the $100 prize as well. Shon’s Bike and Ski has been in business since 2009 and continues to grow.
