ADVERTISER STAFF WRITER Multimedia artist Sam Talbot-Kelly will debut her exhibition Glamourie at Nelson’s Oxygen Art Centre on Friday, after spending a month as the artist in residence. Having worked with paint, performance, site-specific installations, printmaking and design, her most recent work will include collaborations with other local artists. “Talbot-Kelly will work closely with several community artists whom she calls her ‘creatives’ in developing personal expressions to illuminate through voice, movement and costume what she calls ‘the sword of truth that lies within’,” reads a press release from Oxygen. Talbot-Kelly was born in England and now resides in Vermont. She has an MFA in painting from the University of Texas and is currently teaching design at Norwhich University. According to the release, Talbot-Kelly is interested in “what lies below the surface in the dark chambers of the subconscious. Her work seeks to bring these shadowy energies to the surface in a multitude of
expressive forms.” Her 2013 installation Blood Queen honoured her mother’s passing by employing the vascular system as a metaphor for a larger cosmic presence. “This stunning installation included the artist’s drawings of the human heart and complex circulatory system silkscreened on to luscious fabric. The installation was described as a “a mediating layer between emotion and perception and with its rich reds evoking the life blood, the queen’s blood, of her mother who in dying joined with a universal life energy.” Talbot-Kelly’s work draws on the work of early feminist artist, but also departs from their work. ”Glamourie is an example of this departure with its quest to uncover the organizing centre or Self beyond gender and perhaps beyond description that lurks beneath the ‘glam’ of characters that form our exterior appearance,” reads the release. The opening for the exhibition will include a performance on Friday, Jan. 8 from 7 to 9 p.m. Gallery hours are Wednesday to Saturday 1 to 5 p.m.

Legendary Vancouver bandleader Dal Richards, who died New Year’s Eve at 97, was a semi-regular performer at South Slocan’s Playmor Hall and other West Kootenay dance venues of the 1940s and ‘50s. “I have a vivid memory of playing a show in Nelson on a Saturday night, and coming to play at the Playmor on Sunday,” he said in a 2004 interview. “Because there was no dancing allowed
on a Sunday in those days we started our show very late, to avoid breaking the law, and everyone had a great time dancing till the wee hours.” Richards figured he appeared at Playmor at least three or four times. He recalled proprietors Alex and Laura Powell as “great people. They were appreciative of bands, because they’d been in the business as professional dancers for a lot of years.” The couple advertised their shows, ensured performers had good audio equipment, and generally

made the musicians feel welcome, Richards said. In those days, Richards already had a high profile thanks to his Saturday night CBC radio broadcasts from the Panorama roof of the Hotel Vancouver. He regularly took his ten-piece band on the road to the interior. “We’d take a week off or more and start in places like Kamloops. In Trail, it seems to me we played in the Colombo Lodge. Nelson seemed to be the Civic auditorium. And then the Playmor.” The latter, he recalled, “had the best and most enthusiastic dance crowds. That’s what the place was for. They must have held other functions there, but I never thought of it as other than a ballroom. For that reason, the people came to dance. It was an excellent floor, as I recall. And the stage was good.” Lots of other then-famous and semi-famous names passed through Playmor between 1941 and the mid-1960s, including Tex Beneke, Gene

Pitney, Bobby Curtola, and Buddy Knox. The building was later a furniture warehouse, a bingo hall, and since 2007 has been Covenant Church at the Junction. Richards went on to become a fixture at the Pacific National Exhibition and performed a New Year’s Eve show of some kind every year from 1935 to 2014. His last gig in West Kootenay appears to have been a September 1987 show in Nelson.

Students in Selkirk College’s School of Health & Human Services will be holding a food drive at the Saints game on Jan. 8 at the Castlegar Recreation Complex. Hockey fans are asked to bring at least one item to donate to the service that helps ensure all students have the energy to pursue their studies. Involved in food drive are Robin Legere (Selkirk College Students’ Union representative), Courtney Rogers (CCSW student) and Jane Green (instructor in the CCSW Program).

Selkirk College students set for food drive at Saints hockey game Students in Selkirk College’s School of Health & Human Services are starting the new year by giving back to peers who struggle to make ends meet while gaining an education. Partnering with the student athletes on the Selkirk College Saints, the second annual food drive will take place on Friday, January 8 during an exhibition game against Williston State at the Castlegar Recreation Complex. Students in the Community & Classroom Worker Program, Early Childhood Care & Education Program, Social Service Worker Program, and Human Services Diploma Program will volunteer at the game where they will be collecting food items that will be donated to the Selkirk College Food Bank. “One of the grounding principles of all of our Human Services programs is a focus on solutions,” says Jane Green, an instructor in the Classroom & Community Support Worker Program. “The food drive provides an outlet for generosity and is a solution aimed at tackling poverty, one of the social determinants of health. Simply put, people do better if they are not hungry.” Selkirk College students will be starting the Winter Semester portion of their studies in the first week of January. It is after the opening weeks of a semester that some students run into trouble and are distracted

Olivia, Ethan top BC’s baby names Olivia is the most popular name for baby girls born in B.C. for the third straight year. The province issued its annual list of top baby names chosen in 2014. Ethan was the top name for boys, edging out Liam, the previous year’s top choice. It’s been a long run of popularity for Ethan, which has been number one or two every year since 2002. Emma, Sophia, Emily and Chloe rounded out the top five names for girls in 2014, while the other top boys’ names were
Liam, Lucas, Oliver and Mason. “Not surprisingly Terry was not the most popular boys’ name in British Columbia in 2014,” said Health Minister Terry Lake said. Final statistics for 2015’s names won’t be available until later in 2016, but so far Olivia appears to be extending her streak, while Oliver was edging ahead of Liam and Ethan for top choice on the boys’ side as of Dec. 1. The Vital Statistics Agency reported 44,500 babies born in BC in 2014 — 22,957 boys and 21,543 girls.

David Woodsworth write of Nakusp: “Of the half-dozen commercial hot springs in British Columbia, this is one of our favourites. Nakusp is a small and friendly spot, with good, uncrowded soaking.” Elsewhere in the same issue, there’s a full-page photo of the Rossland Winter Carnival in a round-

Montrose was named for a resort town in Scotland. It was formerly known as Wood’s Flats. Greg Nesteroff photo
Trail lawyer’s wife suggested Montrose’s name GREG NESTEROFF West Kootenay Advertiser
One hundred twenty-seventh in an alphabetical series on West Kootenay/Boundary place names Montrose was named for a place in Scotland, but its origin isn’t completely straightforward. According to Tracks of the Beaver Valley and Pend’Oreille, Leon Selk Simmons (1903-84) moved to Fruitvale in 1942 where he operated a garage, which burned down four years later. He also worked for Cominco, and while commuting to Trail, “the idea of developing a subdivision on the 220 acres of stumps and second growth known as Wood’s Flats began to form.” (It’s unclear who Wood’s Flats was named after.) Apparently Beaver Heights was first suggested as the name for the subdivision, “but the government would not approve this name because too many place names were using the word ‘Beaver.’” Simmons hired a Trail lawyer, Arthur Garfield Cameron (1882-1965), to deal with the insurance adjustment on the garage fire, whose wife Adelaide suggested the name Montrose, after her husband’s Scottish roots. (There’s some indication her original pick was Rosemont, but that name already belonged to a Nelson neighborhood.) Cameron and Simmons then formed Montrose Homesites Ltd. The earliest known use of the name is in the September 1949 issue of Cominco Magazine: “Along the new highway to Fruitvale and near the cut-off, many new homes are springing up. This new district is called Montrose.” Rita Sims explains in Tracks of the Beaver Valley and Pend’Oreille that the name made sense for another reason: “It was covered with brush, some trees, burnt out stumps, and wild roses grew everywhere. At the time I thought that was why the developers were going to name it Montrose.” Montrose, Angus, Scotland is a coastal resort town 61 km north of Dundee and today has a population of about 12,000. Its BC namesake became a popular
bedroom community of Trail and has a population of a little over 1,000. The Kootenay Free Press of Feb. 12, 1953 wrote: “The booming Montrose community, where a rural delivery postal route failed last year, is now launching a quest for a local post office. The 200 home community is served by Beaver Falls post office about one mile away. Official community request has again gone to the postal inspector’s department under the seal of the progressive Montrose Improvement Association.” The Beaver Falls post office moved to Montrose on Oct. 30, 1953. The village incorporated in 1956. MYNCASTER This stop on the Vancouver, Victoria, and Eastern Railway near the US border southeast of Bridesville was named for Thomas (1862-1892) and William McMynn (1864-1929), who came to BC around 1887 and ran the Harpur ranch. Thomas drowned in Osoyoos Lake at a young age while William went on to become superintendent of the BC Provincial Police. The earliest known mention of the name is in the Hedley Gazette of Aug. 30, 1906: “Myncaster is on the west side of Myers Creek valley, and its distance from Midway cannot be much more than 17 miles.” Myncaster’s post office operated from 1907 to 1931. The name is preserved in Myncaster Rd.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22
Scorpio, you will be missed as much as you miss another person this week. Wait out this separation a little while longer, keeping in mind that your reunion is on its way.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21
Do whatever you need to do to rejuvenate your spirit, Sagittarius. Spend some more time with friends and avoid prolonged solo activities. Soon your motivation will return.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20
Capricorn, this may turn out to be a strange week, as you can’t seem to fully focus on anything. You may get frustrated at your inability to concentrate, but that focus will return soon.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18
Aquarius, if you become too wrapped up in business or personal obligations, take a step back and reevaluate your priorities. Some things need to be rearranged.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
Virgo, you may have a wonderful time with family or friends this week, even if you are crunched for time. Savor the small moments as they come your way.
Pisces, you are on a quest this week to find the perfect gift for a friend. This person will appreciate your efforts, and your bond will only grow stronger.

Although numbers were lower than previous years, probably due to the -8 C air temperature, over 60 swimmers kicked off 2016 by taking a dip in the relatively balmy Columbia River, which was 4 C, on New Year’s Day at Trail’s Gyro Park.

Grand Forks med student keen to return CR AIG LINDSAY Grand Forks Gazette
A medical student from Grand Forks has received the British Columbia Rural Interest Award, which is given to UBC medical students who have an interest in entering rural medicine once they finish training. Selena Demenoff, who is attending the
University of Northern British Columbia’s (UNBC) Northern Medical Program, is hoping to eventually set up a clinical family practice in or near Grand Forks. Demenoff, who is in her second year of training, said she really enjoying being raised in a rural area and is looking forward to setting up her own clinic in the area upon gradu-
ation. “I was close to family, extended family, friends, community and culture — it gave me a strong sense of belonging,” she said. “It also taught me that it’s not what you do in life, but why you do it that counts.” The award was one of 30 given to medical students to support their pursuit of practicing medicine in rural communities.

Over $1 million for environmental education Columbia Basin children and communities will continue to receive opportunities to learn about, appreciate and care for the natural world around them, through Columbia Basin Trust’s $1-million commitment to two environmental education initiatives. These are the Know Your Watershed program and the Columbia Basin Environmental Education Network. These initiatives have proven successful, and we’re pleased we can commit additional funding to help them become more sustainable, plan into the future and grow, said Tim Hicks, Columbia Basin Trust Manager, Water and Environment. Through these initiatives basin students will continue to have hands on opportunities to increase their understanding of the natural environment, which Basin
residents have told us is a priority. The Know Your Watershed program will be receiving $540,500 over three years. Working with environmental educators in the Basin, the Trust developed this program in 2010 to help Grade 8 students understand where their water comes from, how it is used and where it goes after it is used. The program is delivered to schools by local educators around the Basin working with Wildsight. Learn more at wildsight.ca/program/know-your-watershed. “Wildsight is thrilled to continue working with the Trust to deliver Know Your Watershed,” said Monica Nissen, Manager for Wildsightís education programs. “We hear from teachers and students across the Columbia Basin how much they love the
action-oriented, hands-on learning of the program. Because it incorporates knowledge from local community experts, not only does it make a big impact on students, but it also strengthens the community as a whole.” The Columbia Basin Environmental Education Network (CBEEN) will be receiving $500,000 over three years. Created in partnership with the Trust in 2002, CBEEN supports environmental education in the Basin by offering professional development for educators and providing them access to training, resources, opportunities and tools. It also delivers the Wild Voices for Kids program, which has local experts deliver curriculumlinked programs to schools across the Basin. Learn more at cbeen.org.
CBEEN is excited to continue to play a key role in encouraging environmental stewardship and sustainability in the Canadian Columbia Basin by supporting environmental education, said Duncan Whittick, CBEEN Executive Director. There are so many educators from across our region who provide excellent learning opportunities for both classrooms and communities, and we look forward to continuing to work hard to support their efforts. The Trust highlights environmental education and stewardship as one of the five goals in its Environment Strategic Plan 2014-2019. To learn more about the education and awareness projects and programs it supports, visit cbt. org/enviroeducation.

Two officers and store owner save Christmas for children SHERI REGNIER West Kootenay Advertiser
Thanks to the kindness of a local business owner and two RCMP officers, two Trail youngsters got a taste of Christmas spirit amid chaos. Cst. Elwood and Cst. Flewelling took the children into foster care on Christmas Eve after checking on their well being. Realizing the children would have no presents, the two officers tried various stores and checked
their own homes to find suitable gifts, but came up empty handed. That’s when the Greater Trail RCMP members contacted Craig Lattanville, owner of Trail Canadian Tire Store, to ask if he could help. Lattanville opened his doors well after closing hours on Christmas Eve for the officers to do some last minute shopping for the children. The officers then delivered armfuls of presents to the foster mother for the gifts to be wrapped and
under the tree Christmas morning. When the constables returned to Canadian Tire to pay for the shopping spree, Mr. Lattanville would not take any money and said they were happy to help, explained RCMP Sgt. Darren Oelke. “The Trail detachment would like to give a big thank you to these two officers and Craig Lattanville,” said Oelke. “Who went above and beyond to ensure that Santa came for two small children.”

Canada’s most common New Year’s Resolution this year — for teens and for adults — was to lose weight. While setting health-related goals can be positive, framing them negatively and setting unrealistic goals can set us up for failure. New Years is a time for self-reflection and renewal, but too often for teens in Canada this can turn into a spiral of negative thoughts and emotions, often related to their bodies. Some teens may have made resolutions that they may not be able to keep, and others may not have the necessary tools or resources to start boost-
ing their own self-esteem. Good body image and selfesteem starts at home, and at Kids Help Phone we know that by helping their children recognize their inner qualities and focusing on their accomplishments, parents help to teach kids that what is really important about them has nothing to do with their size, shape or weight. Parents can create an environment that promotes selfacceptance and positive self-esteem and help young people feel comfortable in their own skin, positively affecting their confidence, thoughts and behaviours.

Selkirk celebrates 50 years with book CHELSEA NOVAK West Kootenay Advertiser
Selkirk College is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2016, and its looking for help from the community to put together a commemorative book. Takaia Larsen and Bob Hall are working on a history book to celebrate 50 years at Selkirk,
OPENS JAN. 15
T
and they are looking for stories, photos and mementos that help tell the story of the college. Larsen and Hall have been working on the Selkirk 50th anniversary book since July, and so far they have interviewed 15 to 20 people — former faculty and students, and community members who have been involved with the college over the years.
“Interviews with them and their personal stories are a big part of the book,” says Larsen. The book builds on a smaller publication that Selkirk College put out when it celebrated its 25th anniversary. “So we’re kind of building on that project that happened 25 years ago and creating more of a full-length book that tells the history of all of the campuses and the communities
surrounding the campuses over the last 50 years,” explains Larsen. Plans are to launch the book during the homecoming weekend at Selkirk in September. Larsen and Hall will be collecting material for the book until the end of February and anyone who would like to contribute can contact Larsen at 250-365-1358 or tlarsen@selkirk.ca.
