Fire ravages empty home on HWY 6

FIRE AT OLD NIXON HOUSE

As they say, the best laid plans of mice and men o� en go awry. So went the scheduled con-trol burn of the old home located at 372 High-way 6 South last � ursday when a spark from a � re burning yard waste was caught by the wind and landed on the shingles, setting the house � re in motion.

� e home had been slated for demolition either by excavator or by allowing the Nakusp

and Area Fire Department to set it ablaze as a training exercise but not until the following week. Chief Warren thought it would make the perfect training exercise for his department.

Fire Chief Terry Warren was at the o� ce when he got the Code 3 call that the home was in � ames.

“� e � re at the property had a permit but it just goes to show how quickly any � re can get out of control,” Nakusp Fire Chief Terry War-ren said.

Fourteen members suited up and sped to

the scene where they leapt into action, assess-ing the situation and readying � re hoses. � ey proceeded to monitor the situation, because unlike a regular � re, this one was meant to take place. � e crew — all volunteers — worked to keep the � ames from spreading to neighbour-ing outbuildings, trees and the occupied dwell-ing on the same property.

“We don’t get as many � res as we used to so it was good practice,” said Warren. “� ey did very well, an excellent job, in fact. We have a very good crew. It was good for them to see

how � re reacts — actually feel the heat and spray the water. Some of our members are new so it was excellent for training.”

� e house was in the process of being cleared of � xtures and � ttings, which the fam-ily was going to salvage prior to the day it was slated to be alit. � e original cast-iron clawfoot tub could be seen outside behind the blaze.

“We had some great memories there,” said Deanne Nixon whose grandparents last lived in the house and whose father Dave lives in the newer home on the property.

Dance instructor brings students to first competition

When Cassia Parent found herself in a belly dance class with Brendalee Mor-gan a few years ago, her lifelong passion for movement was reignited. Dancing se-riously since the age of nine, Parent had been away from it for a number of years when she was called back to the studio and to her roots of teaching dance to children.

“Being back in a dance studio a� er a few years away, I felt like I had come home. NaCoMo seemed like a cool, authentic movement space,” Parent said.

During her youth in Port Coquitlam, the Dance on the Kusp founder studied ballet, lyrical dance, modern, tap, jazz, hiphop styles. She was also an instructor from the age of 15, having taught dance classes in musical theatre, ballet, jazz and

tap with students ranging from 3-8 years of age. Fast forward to 2012, the former Nakusp Music Festival stage manager had relocated to Nakusp where her grandpar-ents Milton and Rosemarie lived since she was three. In January of 2013, she began teaching classes to the children in Nakusp — something that had not previously been available. 2014 marked her � rst full season of dance instruction and both years ended with recitals. 2015 brought about a new challenge.

“As far as I know, this is the � rst time that there has ever been a group of dancers from Nakusp at the Just Dance Festival in Castlegar,” said Parent. She began looking for something bigger than a local recital for her students to work toward and came across the opportunity. “I wanted our � rst competition to be something friendly and welcoming so the girls could see what a

professionally run competition feels like. Turning Point, the dance school that puts this festival on, is high calibre and runs like a well-oiled machine.”

“We came home encouraged. � e group numbers got bronze, our soloists and duo got silver. � e girls want to work harder and do more and return to compete again next year.” Parent said. She explained the results of the debrie� ng they had in the days a� er the competition.

Several of her dance students were on board and the little dance school orga-nized four numbers with choreography and music compiled by Parent. In atten-dance were ten Nakusp dancers ranging in age from six to 14. � e girls stayed in hotel rooms or with friends and family in Castlegar for the weekend, and almost all parents were able to attend and encourage from the audience.

Abuse of recycle bins will raise costs or see them removed

The difference between gar-bage and recycling can be ex-plained by any eight year old, so it’s puzzling that there exists such a huge problem with people leaving garbage at the site that is meant solely for recycling. In Nakusp, people are continually leaving large items, garbage and even hazardous waste on and around the green bins provided for paper, glass and plastic re-cycling by the RDCK. Whether this is a local problem or visitors to the area acting from igno-rance, the result of this abuse is going to spell cost increases or ultimately, removal.

“There are two issues at these sites: illegal dumping, and peo-ple attempting to use them as unofficial re-use drop offs,” said Environmental Services Coor-dinator for the Regional Dis-trict Central Kootenay (RDCK) Meagan Deas. “We are asking for the public’s help in prevent-ing illegal dumping. It is hard to combat but it impacts everyone — from safety issues and endan-gering wildlife, to rising costs to taxpayers because of additional clean-up.”

Options to get rid of garbage include regular curb side pickup or taking it to the landfill oper-ated by the RDCK on the Hot Springs Road. Either way, there are costs associated with garbage — the purchase of designated village garbage bags, or a dump fee. Currently, recycling is en-couraged and there is no fee.

Located next to the arena building, the unmonitored re-

cycling drop off location is man-aged by a contractor who goes to the site a few times a week to remove the recycling materi-als. It is part of their contract to clean up any materials illegally dumped at the site during these visits. There have long been is-sues with the illegal dumping of garbage at these locations.

When somebody com-plains about refuse at the site, the RDCK then takes care of it by contacting their contractor, Waste Management who then sends resources to these sites outside of pre-scheduled times just to perform clean up at an added expense.

“This will eventually result in an increased cost to the taxpayer when the contract is up for re-newal because the contractor will be expecting significantly higher costs due to clean-up or, the possible removal of these sites.”

Not a re-use shedFor the people who are using

it as an unofficial re-use shed, it is a different issue because they are trying to be sustainable and keep things out of the landfills. This creates safety hazards, an un-sightly facility, increased green-house gas emissions (contractor has to make very long additional trips to clean up these materials), and can result in an increased cost to the taxpayer. All that and it still ends up at the landfill.

“Despite their best intentions it actually creates more harm than if they just dumped at the landfill. When people leave their re-use materials at these sites, the contractor has to clean them up and dump them at the landfill

anyway. Some sites do have re-use sheds or you can download a ‘trash to treasure’ sign for free to leave unwanted items at your yard for people to take and re use,” explained Deas.

Director of Operations, War-ren Leigh spoke at the April 13 council meeting indicating con-cerns about groundwater con-tamination.

“Our well is adjacent to the re-cycling site and with the dump-ing of items like propane cylin-

ders, there is a potential hazard,” Leigh said.

Nakusp has a groundwater protection plan in place which is being threatened. Village council unanimously agreed that with the continued abuse of the recy-cling site, it is now time for the bins to be moved to the landfill where they can be more closely monitored to eliminate abuse leading to contamination of the ground and water and ultimately keep the costs down.

Enough is enough. RDCK is asking for the public’s help in managing site abuse at the green recycling bins next to the arena. Village council is ready to see them moved to the landfill site where they can be monitored more closely.

The 9th Annual Burton Winter Crib Tournament wrapped up last Sunday. Nine teams of two played each other from November to April. Three games were played at the house of one of the players, with laughter, snacks, and some seri-ous crib thrown in, until everyone had played their twenty-four games. It’s a great chance for newcomers to meet their fellow Burtonites and for everyone to have a nice social evening out. Points were totaled and winners declared at the wrap-up evening. This year’s winners were Shir-ley Neuls (left) and Laura Freeman (right). They only gave up 104 points out of a possible 2904! That record should stand for decades. Last year, they came in last. There was a yummy pot-luck supper at the Burton Hall, followed by the awarding of prizes. We then drew for partners and had five tables of crib. The wrap-up crib was won by Peggy Ife and John Craft. If anyone is interested in organizing a winter crib tourna-ment in Nakusp, contact Suzanne Story. Photo by Suzanne Story

Editorial

I was recently asked if a dental access pro-gram, which is open to seniors and other members of the public who are living on a low income, is in existence and benefitting resi-dents of our region.

I am happy to report that such a program does exist, although to a limited degree.

Fund-raised dollars assist low-income com-munity members who are experiencing den-tal pain or infection. Through generous do-nations by dentists, individuals, community groups and concerned organizations, this den-tal program is able to offer limited services to those in need.

The dental access program depends entirely on the volunteer efforts of the IHA program staff, local area dentists and their staff, and community donations. Due to very limited resources at present, priority is accorded to individuals who are experiencing dental pain, infection or the inability to eat properly due to their oral condition.

Monetary aid is delegated to those on low income and who have exhausted all other av-enues leading to dental care. An application and consultation must be completed in asso-ciation with a staff member of the IHA dental program. An application may be approved for funding if the applicant meets the financial and dental criteria, as well as there being suf-ficient funds available.

Monetary donations to this program are gratefully accepted. Please make cheques pay-able to: Trail Fair Society (which also serves clients from the Nakusp region). Make a nota-tion that these funds are intended to support the dental access program.

The Interior Health Dental Program staff voluntarily coordinates this program and all service requests must be made through them. For further information, contact Nancy Mc-Gann at 250-364-6211.

ALAC ENDS SEASON WITH LOCAL TALENT RECITALThe Arrow Lakes Arts

Council (ALAC) hosted their annual Community Artists Concert at the Bon-nington Arts Center on Sunday April 19. The event showcased the rich tapes-try of talent that runs deep through Nakusp with per-formances and a silent auc-

tion drawing from a wide spectrum of the arts.

The concert was warmly dedicated to Alf Puder who was a long term resident of Nakusp and was very active in the community, Rotary club and the ALAC. De-scribed as the “good ghost behind everything,” Puder

could be found behind the scenes during most perfor-mances running lights and sound.

Master of Ceremonies Larry Parkes kicked off the afternoon with a bang by egging on the enthusiastic audience to follow him in a cheer spelling out ALAC

then warmly welcomed everyone for attending. Parkes also reminded the gathered guests that the afternoon’s program and silent auction was a fun-draiser for ALAC with all donations going to support the upcoming concert se-ries.

April 24, 1925 Considerable work has

been done to the band stand and it is now complete, making a very nice addi-tion to our little town. The band itself has practiced faithfully all winter and judging from what we hear on practice nights, Nakus-pites will take off their hats to the band when it plays on the new stand.

mons of Nakusp is being re-tired by C.P.R. after 38 years active service on the railway company boats in the interior of British Columbia.

April 26, 1945 On Monday, April 23, Mr.

and Mrs. C.B. Hamling cele-brated their Golden Anniver-sary with a party at the Legion Hall in Nakusp. The hall was filled with friends as these pioneers have resided at Box Lake for 43 years.

April 24, 1985 Two of Nakusp’s longtime

businessmen were honored with Life Memberships in the Nakusp and District Chamber of Commerce on Saturday. Harry Murphy and Bert Gard-ner were given life member-ships in the organization for their many years of service to

the community through their involvement in the Chamber.

April 26, 1995 Nakusp’s bid for a co-gen-

eration wood/waste facility is picking up steam. Phoe-nix Waste and Wood Systems Corporation, of Nakusp, is presently conducting a feasi-bility study for the proposed co-generation plant at the Nakusp dump site. Although the study isn’t expected to be completed until June 5, Phoenix has already done much of the necessary work, which includes such things as projected revenues, costs to construct and estimated vol-umes of waste the plant could maintain. “It looks like it’s go-ing to be feasible,” said Denis Stanley, chairman of Nakusp and District Economic De-velopment Board. “But a lot of questions haven’t been answered yet.” Ray Greene,, of Phoenix Wood and Waste Systems, will meet with the NDEBD on May 6, to update the study’s progress.

• This Week in History •

Seeing as Mother Na-ture was especially kind to us this winter, spring seems to have sprung earlier than usual. The adjustment to seeing ground with no snow for such a long period of time before the first signs of life start to show makes me feel incredibly impatient. I am used to seeing the first flowers of the year cradled in a light blan-ket of white, but instead I have gotten dirt under my nails earlier than I ever have before! What I am most excited for though, is to get back to foraging!

Dandelions, taraxa-cum officinal (sunflow-er family, asteraceae) are persistent lawn weeds known around the world, as the only continent it doesn’t grow is Antarctica. It is believed to have origi-nated somewhere be-tween Greece and the western Himalayas, and spread from there. But that was very long ago. Fossil dandelions are known from the last

ice age. There is an old saying that plants grow where they are needed most, and I believe that when a certain “weed” grows in such abun-dance and is also one of the first and last flowers you will see, maybe we should take heed of the medicine it is trying to share.

Dandelions are so well respected in fact, that it appears in the U.S. National Formula-tory, and in the Phar-macopeias of Hungary, Poland, Switzerland, and the Soviet Union. It is one of the top six herbs in the Chinese herbal medicine chest and according to the USDA Bulletin #8, Com-position of Foods (Hay-towitz and Matthews 1984), dandelions rank in the top four green vegetables in overall nutritional value. Min-nich, in Gardening for Better Nutrition ranks them, out of all veg-etables including grains, seeds and greens, as tied for ninth best. Dandeli-ons are nature’s richest

green vegetable source of beta-carotene from which Vitamin A is cre-ated, and the third rich-est source of Vitamin A of all foods after cod-liver oil and beef liver! They also are particu-larly rich in fiber, po-tassium, iron, calcium, magnesium, phospho-rus and the B vitamins, thiamine and riboflavin, and are a good source of protein.

All parts of the plant are edible; leaves, flow-ers and roots. When eaten as a part of your daily diet or taken as a beverage dandelions could, depending on the peculiarities of your body chemistry, prevent or cure liver diseases such as hepatitis or jaun-dice, act as a tonic and gentle diuretic to purify your blood, cleanse your system, dissolve kidney stones, and otherwise improve gastro-intestinal health. They can also as-sist in weight reduction, cleanse your skin and eliminate acne, improve your bowel function — working equally well

to relieve both consti-pation and diarrhea, prevent or lower high blood pressure, prevent or cure anemia, lower your serum cholester-ol by as much as half, eliminate or drastically reduce acid indigestion and gas buildup by cut-ting the heaviness of fat-ty foods, prevent or cure various forms of cancer, prevent or control dia-betes mellitus, and, at the same time, have no negative side effects and selectively act on only what ails you. Does it get any better than that?

Eat the plant raw, steamed, roasted, sau-téed or however you choose — just make sure that you are col-lecting from plants that haven’t been sprayed with any chemicals. Online recipes abound and if you are a skeptic or can’t tolerate the fla-vour, dandelions make a delicious wine. In welcoming the return of the sunshine, get out there valley friends and gather the food that will be thy medicine.

Most activities are do-it-yourself, without crowds or line-ups. Even the two nine-hole golf courses don’t require booking times. There are a few guided activities available as well and the commercial and natural hot springs are open every day.

Summer promises terrific golf and fishing, excellent hiking and biking in beautiful alpine areas, and various festivals and events.

The Nakusp and Area Community Trails Society also schedules sev-eral group hikes.

During the winter, the region is popular with those who like to snowmobile, snowshoe, and any type of skiing including downhill, cross-country, heli-skiing and backcountry skiing.

Winter also provides excellent opportunities for fishing on the open waters of the main lakes, or for ice fishing on the smaller lakes.

Thank you.

On Sunday, May 3, the village of Na-kusp will join thousands of people across the country, as they come together to raise funds and awareness for hospice palliative care programs and services. � is is the 13th anniversary of the Hike for Hospice Pallia-tive Care, and the Nakusp Hospice Society is excited to host for the second time.

� ough the hike is coordinated nation-ally, 100 per cent of the funds raised in our community remain here. � e funds raised this year by the Nakusp Hospice Society will be used to help train hospice volunteers.

Nakusp Hospice volunteers work close-ly with the dying, their family members, friends, community volunteers, physicians, nurses and other health care professionals to help clients live the remainder of their lives in dignity and comfort.

Many organizations across Canada use this event as a major fundraiser, whereas we would like our main focus to raise awareness of the many challenges faced by hospice pal-liative care and to promote the phenomenal work that all volunteers and professionals in the � eld perform daily.

Hospice palliative care programs are still at least 50 per cent funded by charitable do-nations and families must bear part of the cost of dying at home, in longer-term care — almost anywhere outside a hospital. � e money raised through the hike provides physical, emotional and social assistance to patients and their families and loved ones. � e Nakusp Hospice Society is working to-ward ensuring more Canadians, especially in our own community, receive the end-of-life care they wish for.

Please join us on Sunday May 3 at 1 p.m. starting at the Nakusp Public Beach.

� e hike will be an easy 2 km walk in the downtown core, suitable for all ages and abil-ities. To support or participate in Hike for Hospice Palliative Care, or for more infor-mation about the Nakusp Hospice Society, please contact Lee-Anne Marshall at 250-265-3326, or any Hospice Board member.

NOTICE OF A

Tough Guise 2 takes a look at violence

Tough Guise 2 was presented at the Bonnington Arts Center on Sunday April 19 in conjunc-tion with Prevention of Violence Against Women Week and Na-tional Victims of Crime Awareness Week. The movie offers an analysis and deconstruction of the notions of masculinity through a sweeping critical look at race, gender, class, ethnicity, politics, literature, media and social networks.

Based on the research and the-ories developed by Jackson Katz, Tough Guise 2 argues that a cultural normalization of violence, along-side a perpetual indoctrination of outdated ideas of manhood, has fostered an epidemic of aggressive and destructive behavior in North American men. Katz challenges his audience to reconsider pre-conceived notions of power and

masculinity while taking a critical look at the very controversial and difficult question of why, that is in-evitably asked after horrific events such as mass shootings.

The movie screening, along with the following discussion and reflection, was orchestrated through Arrow and Slocan Lake Community Services (ASLCS), hosted by Carlee Hughes and Debbi Pitaoulis. Working together, Hughs and Pitaoulis have collabo-rated on a number of projects de-signed to engage the community and spread conversations about violence and gender inequality in our society.

“The goal of our group of co-workers,” Pitaoulis explains, “is not to make this area a healthy community, but to make it the healthiest.”

After the movie, the discussion revolved around the prolifera-tion of media in the home and the profound influence it has on the

development of our youth. Draw-ing on specific examples such as truck commercials and even an anecdote about the sexual politics of big horned sheep, the audience expanded on the themes of mas-culinity and media literacy in our community. Hughes and Pitaoulis helped guide the thoughtful reflec-tion and encouraged the audience to initiate discussions in the com-munity.

“There was about 25 people here tonight,” Hughes reflects, “and if one person leaves and is even just changed a little bit by the way they view things and sparks a conversation that changes some-one else’s mind, that would mean this was worth it.”

The group of ASLCS co-work-ers plans to continue to engage the local community with their educa-tional campaigns and is working on a healthy relationships cur-riculum to bring to the elementary school.

Since 1923

The K2 Rotor Lodge was abuzz with laugh-ter, chatter and wine-swilling Saturday night

in celebration of Rotary Winefest, the second annual shindig hosted in collaboration with the Arrow Lakes Grape Growers Society. Given an empty glass upon entry and from there, revellers enjoyed the flowing vino and gour-met vittles aplenty.

Eight separate sta-tions were peppered throughout the lounge, dining room and party room of the restaurant, each representing a dif-ferent winery or wine merchant. The selec-tion was 100 per cent British Columbia wine, and at each station, samplers could try reds, whites and other varieties plus speak directly to the vintner or wine rep. Dozens of wines were available to taste, and not limited to the Okanagan: Trail merlot, Wynndel pinot gris, Creston gewürtz-traminer, Kelowna

gamay noir and a spicy Oliver aperitif with a chili pepper in the bottle.

Guest Jodee Zin-selmeyer commented, “What a treat to have such a unique venue in our village.”

Margaret Basaraba, whose husband Dave is the co-owner, wine-maker and vineyard manager at Wynnwood Estates Winery in Cres-ton, said, “Such a nice group of people here. The set-up with differ-ent rooms for people to mingle and move around and what a nice touch to have the cheese on each table.”

Guests dressed in semi-formal attire paid $50 a head for unlim-ited samples, an array of cheeses with crack-ers and an assortment of chef-made original hors d’oeuvres. There were also 50/50 draws, a silent auction and

a door prize. All pro-ceeds go to supporting Nakusp Rotary and their on-going projects such as Polio-Plus, lo-cal scholarships and the waterfront lighting project. In addition, many local businesses were involved in spon-soring the evening.

Troy Watson, one of the organizers with Ro-tary was thrilled with the turnout. “People are raving about the food, so we are really pleased.”

The event was held last year with a limit of 100 tickets to gauge the interest, and it sold out raising $5000 for local causes supported by Nakusp Rotary. This year with 151 tickets sold, the organization hopes to do even bet-ter. Organizer Kees van der Pol explained, “The organizing commit-tee was a fine group of people, just a pleasure

to work with. And we are really grateful for the volunteers too.”

Burton resident Liz Gillis enjoyed the eve-ning and wanted to rec-ognize the efforts that were made to include Nakusp’s neighbour to the south. “I wouldn’t have attended without the safe ride program.” A volunteer drove a number of Burton resi-dents both to and from the event in a minibus to allow them to join the festivities and not have to worry about transportation 35 km each way.

Lynn Sorenson, owner of Winemates & More said, “This is our second year, and we love to support the community. I’ve been working this territory for 22 years and am very passionate about Okanagan vineyards. We’ll be back next year.”
