Woman’s life saved by fast acting ferry crew
Mary Walters celebrated her 65th birthday this Friday, Aug. 30 with a bit more gusto this year. Walters, a paddler with the Koo-tenay Rhythm Dragons in Nelson, a breast cancer dragon boat team, was on her way home from the BC Seniors Games when she was stung and experienced her � rst-time seri-ous reaction to a sting.
The sting occurred while Walters and her friend were waiting for the ferry, but the reaction took place about half way across the water.
“I never had a reaction to a bee sting or wasp sting before,” Walters told the Arrow Lakes News, “never anything like that before.
“It went from ‘oh gosh some-thing’s wrong’ to unconscious in minutes.”
Walters’ travel mate quickly gave her an antihistamine pill, but the reaction to the sting was swift, and the paddler’s health rapidly took a turn for the worse, causing her to lose consciousness.
Noticing her distress, ferry staff quickly gave her � rst aid, and mon-itored her vitals. Even though she was able to breathe, Walters’ blood pressure dropped to an alarming level. Mate Janet Fowlie and ter-minal attendant Joey Lewis stayed with her and treated her while other crew members called the ambu-lance and communicated to the other passengers what the situation was. Captain James Dunne, deck
hand Steve Krywa and oiler Chad Davidson all lent a hand ensuring Walters got to the Nakusp ambu-lance which drove her to the Arrow Lakes Hospital. Jim Carachelo, a former paramedic coming on to shift on the Shelter Bay ferry said that Fowlie and Lewis had the situ-ation well in hand.
“The medical assistance that was rendered was as good as any I have seen provided without advanced life support,” said Carachelo in a memo to Waterbridge Ferries Regional Manager Dave Holm.
“It turned out we had a bunch of good people on there,” said Holm, perhaps understating the case. All crew have marine basic � rst aid certi� cation at minimum, with engineers and captains required to
have marine advanced � rst aid. The ferries also carry an AED (an auto-mated external de� brillator used for cardiac arrest) and oxygen on board.
“You’d be surprised,” said Holm, “we get all kind of weird and won-derful things happen…Rollovers, traf� c accidents between ferry and Nakusp or Revelstoke.” Ferry staff often lend a hand if someone in a bad situation near the ferry is in need of help.
“The ferry staff were just amaz-ing,” said Walters, who has very few memories of her own of their care, but survived to hear about what they had done. “I remember trying to step out of my car, I recall being taken into the hospital.”
On her way to a wedding the
next day to be part of honour guard, Walters wouldn’t let them cut her shirt. A couple of adrenaline shots and lots of care later (people on the same ferry came by the hospital to see if she was okay), the lucky Dragon was released to go home at six that night. Now, Walters carries two EpiPens with her at all times, including out on the dragon boat.
This year, she is celebrating her 65th birthday less than a week after the could-be tragedy was averted, making the milestone all the more signi� cant.
“I’m celebrating my birthday with a renewed sense of gratitude and well-being,” said Mary Wal-ters, the dragon who was saved by a ferry’s care.

Nakusp boaters not happy with new ramp
Problems with the new wharf constructed at the Nakusp marina are coming to light, say a group of Nakusp boaters who met on the boat ramp on Monday, Aug. 26.
Concerns about access dur-ing lower water levels were at the top of a list of complaints, with some boaters forecasting the ramp could become unusable in the next few weeks.
When asked if BC Hydro had plans to address the issue, Hydro representative Mary Anne Coules said that the Crown corporation’s mandate was only to provide access during the recreational sea-son. According to Coules, Hydro is required under its water license issued by the Comptroller of Water Rights only to provide sum-mer recreational boat access.
“The current forecast indicates that the ramp should be usable for the duration of the recreational season (through to September 30),” Coules told the Arrow Lakes News in an email.
As many boaters in the area
know, winter is a very popular time for � shing, with two major � shing derbies that draw hundreds of people and their tourist dol-lars to the area every year. With the old boat ramp gone, access will now be seasonally limited in a way it never was before.
When told this and then asked if Hydro planned to restore year-round access to the lake with fur-ther construction, Coules reiter-ated that Hydro’s mandate was only to provide summer access, but that Columbia Power expects to resume construction and build a ramp “to the design standard agreed to by the community.” The completed ramp “will be usable to the same level of access as the previous ramp,” said Coules. Hydro is “hopeful” that this con-struction will occur in spring, “but there are limitations on pre-dicting and committing to such operations due to uncertainties with in� ows and Columbia River Treaty requirements,” Coules told the Arrow Lakes News.
“I’m getting the impression that we’re not taken seriously,” said Nakusp mayor Karen Ham-
ling, “that we’re considered a bother.” The Village is looking into the terms of the Access Order issued by the Comptroller.
And the boaters? Although the plans for the new marina looked good on paper, said some of them, there are now serious problems for � shers and paddlers look-ing to get out onto the water. Not being able to reach the water is, of course, the biggest one, but the railing to the � oating walkway is another obstacle for solo boaters.
“Before I could launch by myself no problem,” said local � sher Joe Williams, “now you need two people, or get wet run-ning around trying to get to your boat before it � oats away.” Many of the local boaters are senior citizens, Williams pointed out, and sprinting to catch the boat’s painter just isn’t feasible.
Running down the length of the ramp are two cables wrapped with orange � agging tape to warn of a trip hazard. But the bright colour isn’t enough. While the boaters had their meeting, a boy coming in from the water tripped on the cables not once but twice.
“It’s an accident waiting to hap-pen,” said Williams, who pointed to the cables as one of a few hazards. Another is the lack of a barrier on the ramp. Where a beam running along the length of the old ramp pre-vented trucks launching boats from accidentally backing into the drink, there is now a line of broken rocks, not enough of a guard to stop a vehi-cle from slipping down into the water said Williams.
Even launching car-top boats such as canoes or kayaks is a trial, with
the drop from the � oating walkway to the water too far for a paddler to easily step into the boat. Owners of fragile � breglass vessels who need to launch their boats in water not scrap-ing onto land now have a big drop to contend with.
Fisher John Vander Kroft told the Arrow Lakes News that the ramp is too heavy, and the � oating walkway doesn’t move with the water when

Notes from Village Council meeting Aug. 26
BC Hydro Power interruptions
Due in part to negative reaction to July’s planned outage, Council wrote a letter to BC Hydro regard-ing the timing of such an outage and reliability of the area’s power grid in general. Hydro’s response, while apologetic about the incon-venience of outages, claimed that the frequency and duration of Nakusp area outages are sim-ilar to those of other rural com-munities—5.2 outages per year at an average duration of 2.51 hours. They touted recent efforts at vegetation management, as well as current and future upgrades to local power infrastructure to improve reliability.
“I’m a little bit concerned,” reacted Mayor Karen Hamling, “Where are they getting these numbers?” Councillor Guy Duch-
aine noted that one recent out-age was 11 hours. Council voted to have a meeting with BC Hydro regarding this matter.
Boat launchOngoing issues with the new
boat launch were discussed, including a recent meeting with Columbia Power about those issues. Numerous complaints had been received, and some of the issues have been addressed. The walkway that was in the water has been fixed, and a grille has been placed over a hole that was a haz-ard.
However, two major problems remain that have not been fully addressed. Firstly, there are some large wires sticking out that many ramp users, including Councillor Duchaine, have tripped over. Sec-ondly, because rising water levels in the spring prevented completion of the ramp, the currently receding water levels will soon make the ramp unusable.
Mayor Hamling expressed frus-
tration with the apparent expec-tation from Columbia Power that being limited to summer use of the boat launch was acceptable until it could be completed at some uncer-tain future date. There was con-sensus that only year round access to the boat launch was acceptable.
“This was supposed to be state of the art,” insisted Hamling, “and it is not.” Councillor Joseph Hughes said council should speak to BC Hydro about their obligation in this matter.
Arena roofRepairs to the arena roof are
urgently needed, in particular the portion above the lobby. Council has heard from two different spe-cialists about short-term fixes to seal the current roof (which is in need of replacement) until larger sources of funding can be secured. The plan at this point is to use a high-quality sealing process to extend the life of the current roof once some structural repairs are complete. Previous repairs were
done with inferior products and without fixing some structural issues (such as the location of a vent) that are causing leaks to recur.
NACFORNACFOR has an operating
profit this year of $102,233, of which half is to be distributed as community grants. It has proposed 25 per cent to Village of Nakusp applicants, 25 per cent to Area K (south of Arrow Park) applicants, and 50 per cent at Board’s dis-cretion within the area defined as Area K, the Village of Nakusp and the Summit Lake Ski Hill.
CAO Linda Tynan noted that this distribution of funds differs from their business plan adopted in 2007. Mayor Hamling stated that the Village takes the finan-cial risk for NACFOR operations, so it should have an explanation of the change. Councillor Duch-aine said that the business plan should be changed first, then those changes could apply to the next
fiscal year. Mayor Hamling sug-gested that advertising for grants could proceed, but a discussion with NACFOR was necessary about the percentages. A decision on the matter was tabled until such a discussion took place.
Other Matters• 2014 Permissive Tax Exemp-
tions will remain in place for the same organizations as last year.
• Low water levels have left a small swimming area, but the log booms cannot be relocated simply.
• Arena compressor repairs are proceeding well and it should open on schedule September 6.
• Water treatment and micro hydro projects have had some setbacks but are on track for a November 8 final commissioning date.
• A village-owned 175-acre lot near the Nakusp Hot Springs has been brought into the village boundaries.

Upper Arrow Lake shows well at BC Seniors Games
The Arrow Lakes was well repre-sented at the BC Seniors Games this Aug. 20-24 in Kamloops. Approxi-mately 3,700 men and women from all over the province over the age of 55 took part in competitions of more than 24 sports.
Nakusp’s own Jean Lancaster took gold again this year at the BC Seniors Games in the Women
75-79 10 km road race and 5 km power walk. Husband Ken Lancaster walked away with a silver medal in the Men 80-84 10 km road walk competition, as well as a silver in the Men 80-84 5,000 m power walk.
Gale Detta of Burton took a bronze in the Women 70-74 5 km power walk. Don Currie of Slocan took silver in the Men 75-79 100 m and gold in Men 75-79 400 m, 200 m and 800 m competitions.

Backroads map book goes waterproofKootenay outdoor backcountry
users now have a new map to guide them through the regions remote areas.
The producers of the ever-pop-ular Backroads mapbooks are launching a new series of water-proof backcountry maps.
The West Kootenay map just came out and the East Kootenay map will be out next spring or sum-mer.
“We will always have a soft spot for the Kootenays. After all, this is
where we learned to fish and hunt, went on countless hikes and spent many days camping and paddling,” said company co-founder Rus-sell Mussio, who is from Trail, in a press release.
The extra-rigid, tear-resistant maps are much easier to carry around than a full map book, can handle more wear and weathering than the company’s series of top-ographic maps and make a good complement to the company’s series of GPS maps, particularly at times when mobile devices run
out of battery power or can’t get reception.
“It’s hardcore for when you’re hunting, fishing or it’s getting rug-ged. This kind of map has been close to the founders’ (Mr. Mus-sio and Wesley Mussio) hearts. It’s something they’ve been wanting to do for a while,” Backroads market-ing manager Matt Cosar told The Echo, adding that Russell in partic-ular has a fondness for the Koote-nay’s Arrow Lakes and takes par-ticular delight in mapping out the lake’s numerous entry points.
According to the press release, Backroads was born out of the Mussio brothers’ frustration with what was available for exploring the outdoors.
“We’d literally have a different map or book for hiking, for hunting and for fishing, along with a few outdated topo maps with us. It was almost comical. It felt like we had to carry around a box full of stuff in the bush with us. We looked at one another and said, ‘This is ridic-ulous,” said Russ.
The company has since sold
more than 1.5 million copies of its products.
“The success is partly a result of the sheer detail and level of exper-tise that goes into the map with our cartographers,” said Mr. Cosar. “They are the most comprehensive outdoor recreation maps of B.C.”
The detail comes in no small part through extensive coopera-tion from numerous outdoor orga-nizations across the province, such as the Quad Riders Association of B.C. and B.C. Parks, according to Mr. Cosar.

Hydro gives low water reasonsEditor,I am writing in response to the
letter that appeared in the August 21 edition of the Arrow Lakes News entitled “Who controls Arrow Lakes water levels?”
This summer’s lower than aver-age Arrow Lakes Reservoir water levels were primarily the result of a major power plant outage at Mica that was needed to carry out important capital upgrades, as well as BC Hydro’s continued obligations under the Columbia River Treaty. In June, we advised stakeholders that the level of Arrow Lakes Reservoir was pro-jected to be lower than average starting in July, and we have made every effort to keep the commu-nity updated.
BC Hydro took a number of steps to help offset these condi-tions, including negotiating a sum-mer storage agreement with the U.S. to help keep the Arrow Lakes Reservoir water level higher. Water levels in July would have been about five feet lower with-out this agreement. We are also continuing to investigate any other reasonable measures to balance reservoir levels in the BC Hydro system.
The conditions in 2012 were the result of higher than aver-age snowpack and record-break-ing precipitation in the Colum-bia Basin. To address water lev-els not seen since the dams were built, BC Hydro managed its facilities to provide flood control
under the terms of the Columbia River Treaty and the new long-term Non-Treaty Storage Agree-ment. We worked closely with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Bonneville Power, FortisBC and Columbia Power to avoid wide-spread flooding and damage on both sides of the border.
BC Hydro also increased fund-ing to enable greater removal of debris from the Arrow Lakes Res-ervoir during the summer of 2012, particularly in priority public use areas, such as ferry crossings, boat ramps and recreation sites.

Part 2 of 2: looking at the effects of the Columbia River Treaty negotiations
Consider the salmon. They travel thousands of miles in their lifetimes using the earth’s mag-netic field to navigate back to the very streams where they were born after months or years in the ocean. They swim upstream for hundreds of miles, against the current, up the waterfalls to spawn and die on gravel bars, their decomposing bodies pro-viding food for their own young and many other creatures.
The builders of the treaty dams did not consider the salmon at all. After 1941, the Grand Cou-lee Dam eliminated fish passage to the Upper Columbia. No fish ladder ensured the largest Chi-
nook salmon and steelhead trout runs in the world were destroyed. Dam builders insisted the fish could go downriver through the turbines unharmed. But how could they get back? By 1983, the salmon and trout population was three per cent of the historic peak of sixteen million fish.
Billions of dollars have been spent to restock the Columbia with dismal results. Without a functional riparian zone and sup-porting ecosystem, this was inev-itable. The U.S. has better envi-ronmental protection, but Can-ada has lost a great deal more habitat and species.
This river “flows” for 1,243 miles in 258,000 square miles through many national, state, and regional jurisdictions, all with specific legislation and pol-icies and lobbied by many spe-cial interest groups with conflict-
ing agendas.With the Columbia River
Treaty, Canada surrendered its sovereignty over its share of the river. BC Hydro is responsible for Canadian operations, a crown corporation increasingly mis-trusted due to unfulfilled past promises.
The Columbia River Treaty could be amended to allow a nearly constant level in the Arrow Lakes Reservoir, a guar-antee of no higher than 1,420 feet above sea level all year round. That could begin to restore the environment for myriad species and improve shoreline stability.
We know how resilient Mother Earth can be. We must make the most of this chance to revitalize the Columbia River Basin. Make your voice heard soon.

Get tax help from dedicated volunteers
I was recently asked, by one of our local residents, for more infor-mation concerning the Commu-nity Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP) which has been formally operative within Nakusp and vicin-ity since 2003.
For those not already familiar with this free and fully confiden-tial service provided by non-com-pensated local volunteers trained by Canada Revenue, CVITP is set up to respond to a request by those who live on a low to moderate income, for personal assistance in complet-ing and filing their non-complex personal annual income tax return.
This year, the 2012 returns were required to be filed preferably by computer (e-filed) which for pro-gram applicants not having much interest or experience with using digital means when meeting the annual April 30 submission deadline sometimes posed quite a challenge.
However, since the program is well entrenched and trusted within our community, an even greater than usual number of requests for assis-tance were received and dealt with successfully. This figure currently stands at 133 returns being pro-cessed, which is a significant num-ber, signifying the importance of this free program which is available to persons of all ages and abilities who required help.
One of the important aspects of the program which is available to
applicants when choosing to utilize the services of a CVITP volunteer, is the assurance that completed appli-cations will be screened to ensure that the full range of financial enti-tlements such as allowances, pen-sions, health related and various other social and community service supports which they are entitled to are received, according to one’s eli-gibility.
A special letter of thanks and appreciation signed by the Minis-ter of National Revenue, the Hon-ourable Gail Shea and forwarded to each member of our Nakusp and area team was issued earlier this summer,
According to the Southern Inte-rior Tax Services Office staff CVITP coordinator Gord Starchuk, as a result of the involvement of volun-teers like those in our own commu-nities, more than half a million eli-gible individuals receiving help, and approximately 15,000 of these are residents of B.C.
The following local area volun-teers who have served for most or all of the ten years which the CVITP team has been in existence here at home are as follows: Dianne Zeuch, Heather Davidson, Debbie Bleak-ney, Ray Blanchette who has now relocated to Kelowna, and myself as the Volunteer Coordinator.
Two new volunteers also joined our team this year, and include Veronica Pellowski serving New Denver/Silverton/ Rosebery resi-dents and Nathaniel Howard who has now established the Nakusp campus clinic at Selkirk College. Special thanks is also extended to members of the print media, and all those who have in any way, helped facilitate the development of the program, includ-ing past team members and assis-tants who have provided transporta-tion and postal assistance, as well as the New Denver borrowed office space courtesy of Arrow and Slocan Lakes Community Services.

ALiability protects the registered owner of a vehicle for expenses that can be incurred from third party bodily injury and property damage lawsuits including, but not limited to, legal expenses. Whether you or another person were the driver, your vehicle’s liability will
respond to pay for injuries and damages in an at-fault accident. If you only purchase $1 Million Liability and the total damages are $2 Million, you will personally be responsible for the other $1 Million.But how do claims become this large?� e limit on liability is not per person injured it is a cumulative total. If one passenger in your vehicle and four passengers in another vehicle are severely injured, the cumulative injuries could easily exceed $1 Million. Liability also pays for long term disability costs and future wage loss, which can result in multi-million dollar lawsuits.Many people claim, “you can not get blood from a stone,” however, lawsuits that exceed your liability limit will become your own personal debt including debt to your estate. � is means wages could be garnisheed, liens placed on assets, and refusal to issue insurance or driver’s licences in the future by ICBC. Increasing your liability o� ers peace of mind and is one of the most a� ordable coverages you can add to your vehicle. ICBC o� ers limits from $200,000 to $5 Million. At RHC we encourage all our clients to very seriously consider their third party liability limits, as well as the rami� cations of being underinsured.

the level rises. “Fishermen told them when
it was being built that it wasn’t going to move,” said Vander Kroft, shaking his head. Many of the lake goers feel they weren’t consulted as much as told what the plans for the ramp were.
But the main problem isn’t with the construction, it’s one of communication, according to some.
“It seems to me [Hydro and the contractors] are not talk-ing to each other about water levels,” Nakusp Rod and Gun Club’s Hank Scown said, “or they don’t care about raising and lowering water levels.”
Scown’s comments raised mutters from the boaters about the water levels being dic-tated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, with the Basin residents north of the border having little say – particularly those in Nakusp.
Worse, said Scown, peo-ple are tired of having prom-ises made and then having their
expectations disappointed by Hydro.
“It’s demoralizing,” he said, and there were many nods of agreement. “We’re done for this year unless they come in with slabs of concrete.” And without access to the water in fall and winter, Nakusp will lose one of its best features.

Valhalla wildfire visible from New Denver
A lightning-caused wildfire burning on the west side of Slocan Lake in Valhalla Provincial Park near Wee Sandy Creek is highly visible from New Denver and Sil-verton.
The fire, started on Aug. 26, is located in remote, steep and dangerous ter-rain, making it unsafe for firefighters to access.
The fires are less than one hectare in size and are not threatening any struc-tures or communities, and the Southeast Fire Centre is monitoring the fire’s activ-
ity. Smoke from large wildfires in Califor-
nia may be visible in the area as well. The largest of these fires located near Yosem-ite National Park covers 75,000 hectares.
The Fire Danger Rating in the South-east Fire Centre is mostly “low” to “mod-erate”, with pockets of “high” near Grand Forks, Nelson, New Denver and Duncan Lake.
As of today, 281 wildfires have burned 554 hectares in the Southeast Fire Centre. Of those fires, 244 were caused by light-ning and 37 were caused by people.
The fire in Valhalla Provincial Park is clearly visible from across the lake. Claire Paradis/Arrow Lakes News

Will recycling still be easy in 2014?By September 16, 2013
local governments must make a decision with respect to their participation in the Packaging and Printed Paper Steward-ship Program. In May 2014, the responsibility for collect-ing and processing house-hold recycling will be chang-ing in British Columbia. The new product stewardship pro-gram for “Packaging and Printed Paper” (PPP) that is being introduced will shift all responsibility for recycling of PPP from a public service to a privately funded system.
At the Aug. 15 Board meet-ing RDCK staff presented a list of options and a process to help assist in the decision making. The Board will need
to consider the financial viabil-ity, the environmental impact, the social and legal factors as well as the question of princi-ple during the evaluation pro-cess. Even with all these fac-tors considered the RDCK will not recover the full cost of the PPP program and will still have to provide a taxpayer subsidy to a privately operated program.
The Environmental Man-agement Act, the legislation that governs the Recycling Regulations, determines who is responsible.
“If we interpret the Act to say that once a product is the subject of a Schedule to the Recycling Regulations it is no longer the responsibil-ity of local government then our response should be easy
– we don’t handle it anymore, the stewards have to do that, ” stated John Kettle, RDCK Board Chair. “Whether we accept or decline the incen-tives from Multi- Material BC (MMBC), there will still be costs, many of them unde-termined with the informa-tion we have. Most options will involve a subsidy to the Extended Producer Responsi-bility (EPR) program and addi-tional financial impacts due to increased garbage hauling and decreased landfill life.”
Product Stewardship Pro-grams are an important issue for the RDCK Board of Direc-tors. The proposed PPP pro-gram is scheduled to roll out in May 2014 and could signif-icantly reduce access to recy-cling for RDCK residents,
particularly those in the most rural areas. All local govern-ments in B.C. are facing a con-siderable challenge in deter-mining how to reasonably manage the transition of recy-cling from a public service to a privately funded system.
How the PPP program will affect existing RDCK recy-cling programs is still undeter-mined but one thing is certain, the RDCK Board of Directors will continue to advocate for the best interest of local tax-payers in the provincial recy-cling system. For more infor-mation about B.C.’s EPR sys-tem and the new PPP program contact the Recycling Coun-cil of British Columbia: www.rcbc.bc.ca or 1-800-667-4321.

Biracial families � nd more kin at Camp Mehaber
This August long weekend, Dor-raine, Doug and Jaycee Gustafson met up with family at Whatshan Lake as they have been doing for the past four years. This relatively new fam-ily is one they have become attached to through spending time together at Camp Harambee, a camp for multi racial families in Naramata.
Camp Mehaber, which takes place at Whatshan, comes from an Amharic word meaning “gathering of family and friends” and has been running for four years. The camp is an offshoot of the original long-running Camp Harambee based in the Okanagan. A bunch of Kootenay families started Camp Mehaber in Nelson but moved it to Whatshan after the � rst year. The camp, more a family event than your typical summer camp, is laid back in the Kootenay way, said Dorraine.
“It’s basically a camping trip,” she told the Arrow Lakes News, one with a very relaxed atmosphere.
The camp began with 11 families taking part, but each year the num-bers grow, and this year there were 19 families coming together to talk, have fun and enjoy their time. When the Gustafsons started going seven years ago, they noticed the difference it made right away.
“Just the support and love you feel
for each other is great,” said Dor-raine.
She and her husband Doug learned about the Naramata camp when they were going through the adoption pro-cess.
The couple adopted Jaycee in Chicago, where mothers have three days after giving birth to sign over their parental rights. The time given to mothers who have said they want their baby to be adopted varies widely from days to years, Dorraine told the Arrow Lakes News, depending on where the adoption takes place.
“When we adopted, we thought we were just adopting Jaycee,” she said, “but now with this camp we’ve adopted all these families.”
The support the Gustafsons have received isn’t just about being a bira-cial family, it’s about learning parent-ing skills, some of which are speci� c to situations that can arise for these families.
“You know they’re going to under-stand,” Dorraine said, who treasures the opportunity to listen and learn from the experience of others.
The Gustafsons rarely have to deal with challenges that some of the fam-ilies that come to camp from cities do, particularly dealing with some of the “dumb questions” people occa-sionally ask.
“Nakusp has been great,” said Dor-
raine. “Everyone just knows.” For her part, Jaycee likes get-
ting to see her friends at the camp every summer. Last year, she and some friends organized a talent show “just for fun.” Jay-cee, a dancer, performed chore-ography that she and her friend had created. This year, the adults joined in too, some of them try-ing out krumping, with hilarious
results. While the camp was started
by families who adopted transra-cially, it is open to biracial fam-ilies, said Dorraine, who noted that they face similar issues and challenges. Going to the camp has been another great choice, as was the decision to adopt.
“It is the best decision we made as a family and we are
so grateful to her birth mom for making the hardest and most lov-ing decision of her life and let-ting us parent Jaycee,” said Dor-raine.
Anyone who may be inter-ested in learning more about Camp Mehaber is welcome to call Dorraine Gustafson for more information.

La Cafamore brings music to Silverton
La Cafamore has been striv-ing to bring high quality classical music to the ears of Kootenay lis-teners since 2008. On October 1, they will bring two famous piano trios to Silverton classical music lovers.
The 2013 Fall concert tour is a series of � rsts for La Cafa-more. The classical music group has been touring the Kootenays since 2008, performing concerts mainly for the string quartet for-mat, with occasional guests. In this next series of concerts, they will present piano trio repertoire for the � rst time.
“We are without our cellist for this concert” said Carolyn Cam-eron, “as he is busy with his new appointment as artistic direc-tor of the symphony of the Koo-tenays. In fact, we were almost without our violist too.” Violist Alexis More has left her teaching position in the Kootenays to fur-ther her career in Victoria.
“Luckily for us, she was able to � t these concerts into her busy schedule,” said Cameron. In light of these changes, the group was faced with � nding repertoire for two violin and viola.
While there are some excellent
works for this combination, vio-linist Angela Snyder had concerns about the loss of the bass part.
“To me it feels like there is something missing when the cello voice is not there,” she said. The group decided to explore piano trio repertoire, with Carolyn Cameron switching roles of violinist to pia-nist. “I am very excited and some-what nervous, because I haven’t done much chamber music as a pianist…I’m hoping that my vio-lin experience translates across instruments,” said Cameron.
Since most piano trio arrange-ments are for violin, viola and cello, violist Alexis More will take on the cello part with her viola.
“Most cello parts trans-pose fairly easily to viola” she said, impishly adding “the piano drowns me out anyway.”
The group will play two of the most famous works of the piano trio repertoire, Haydn’s “Gypsy” piano trio and Beethoven’s “Arch-duke” piano trio.
Haydn’s “Gypsy” trio is recog-nizable because of its lively last movement, which uses themes based on Hungarian gypsy music. Beethoven’s “Archduke” trio is considered the pinnacle of the piano trio repertoire with its expansive themes and orchestral-
like instrumentation. “I grant you that the Haydn
is the piano’s moment to shine,” said Carolyn Cameron. “Haydn intended the piano to be the focal point, with the other instruments as supporting characters, so to speak. There are very few instances in this work where the viola part is not also played by the piano. My apologies to Alexis.”
Both Angela Snyder (vio-lin) and Alexis More have their moments in the sun with the Beethoven “Archduke” trio.
“In the hands of Beethoven, the piano trio is a more collabora-tive effort, giving each member an important and unique voice,” said Snyder. “Piano trios are my favou-rite instrument combination, and the Beethoven is unbeatable.”
The group will be touring with � nancial assistance from the Columbia Basin Trust, the Colum-bia Kootenay Cultural Alliance, and private donor Dr. R.J. Cam-eron who also happens to be mar-ried to Carolyn Cameron: “I guess it helps to be connected” she says with a laugh.
See La Cafamore at the Silver-ton Gallery on Oct. 1 at 7:30 p.m. Admission is by donation.

Canoe vacation with the whole family
Leigh, Brenda, Mya and Natasha Purvis arrived in Nakusp to spend the last of their family vacation away from their home in Smithers. Unlike most visitors they made the trek mostly by canoe.
Arriving on Wednesday, Aug. 28 in their 20-foot red and yellow canoe, the four had been out on the water boating all the way from Valemont. Traveling at a speed of 15 kilometres a day, they canoed the 365 km in 32 days, taking rest days between paddle time.
Readers might think ‘wait a min-ute, there are two very large obsta-cles for boaters on the way from Vale-mont to Nakusp: Mica dam and Rev-elstoke dam.’ Getting around the dams was actually easy, Leigh told the Arrow Lakes News. Their ultralight kevlar canoe has a set of wheels that makes portaging around huge concrete
obstructions a snap, especially if the way back down to the water is paved.
The family boat, from Clipper in Abbotsford, is covered by a custom-made deck that has openings for peo-ple to pop through, as well as a pocket for the sail. Yes, the skookum canoe also has a sail that can be used when the wind is going the right way, saving arms hours of oar work. The sail unfolds from its small pouch, and Brenda serves as its anchor, while Leigh uses a pad-dle as a rudder to steer. Sailing, they can reach speeds of up to 10 kilometres per hour, about twice as fast as hauling on a paddle.
Along with the two adults and two kids, in the boat was all the camping gear to make the trip, including dehy-drated food dried at home in prepara-tion for the voyage. Getting ready for the trip took about a month, but the planning started last winter.
Before this trip, the family had spent 14 days touring Stuart Lake in the fall
of 2012. Planning for that excursion had been an adventure in learning more about the history of the area, as well as the weather. Stuart Lake is notorious for changeable weather. In the end the trip was cut short by strong winds.
During this summer’s voyage from Valemont, the family thrilled an Aus-trian tourist camping at Blanket Creek. He was so excited, he kept repeating “it’s so Canadian, it’s so Canadian,” said Brenda.
But canoe trips aren’t at all common anymore. Leigh said they saw only two other canoes during their descent down the lakes.
“It feels like a sense of accomplish-ment as well as a really great family vacation,” said Brenda about their voya-geur-type trips.
The next water journey will be on a river, Leigh the paddling dad said, who is considering a nice gentle northern waterway like the Yukon River for an upcoming adventure.

Living out of a canoe for 32 days has some odd side effects. When I asked Mya what her book Peter Rabbit was about, she said “fairies.” “They’ve had the same books for a month,” said Leigh, and staying with the original storyline was abandoned in favour of making up new and different stories.
CBT wants youth to apply

Brooklyn, BC was no Brooklyn, NY
The boomtown of Brooklyn, on Lower Arrow Lake, came to life in 1898 as the construction headquarters of the Columbia and Western Railway and died once the railway was com-pleted.
The earliest mention came in the Victoria Daily Colonist of June 23, 1898: “James Wilson, formerly street superintendent of Victoria, arrived today at Brooklyn, the newest city of the Kootenay country, which has
within the past week sprung up …”A month later the Colonist added:
“Some little distance this side of Rob-son the steamer runs alongside a camp with the pretentious sounding name of Brooklyn.”
Townsite owner William Parker pre-empted the land a few years ear-lier and built a log cabin. According to Clara Graham in Kootenay Mosaic, he named it after his native Brook-lyn, New York. (In turn, a natural arch in the area is sometimes called the Brooklyn Bridge.)
The townsite consisted of Lake,
First, Second, and Third streets, plus Park, Brook-lyn, Larson, Stewart, and Whitmore avenues.
The Brooklyn post office opened October 1, 1898, closed November 20, 1899, re-opened December 18, 1899 and closed for good on May 1, 1900.
By 1911, J.E. Annable of Nelson acquired the vacant townsite and began subdividing it into orchard lands, anticipating the arrival of a dozen families from Alberta. He soon sold 517 acres to C.W. Stirling and Co. of Moose Jaw who hired every man available at nearby Deer Park to continue land clearing.
The Brooklyn townsite today is just a field, acces-sible only by boat, 16 kilometres north of the Hugh Keenleyside dam.

BrouseThis farming community south of Nakusp was
named for Dr. Jacob Edwin Brouse (1868-1925), medical officer for the Nakusp and Slocan Railway.
According to Kate Johnson in Pioneer Days of Nakusp and Arrow Lakes, “The nearest doctor was Dr. Brouse of New Denver, who would so often be called in time of sickness or accident and as the res-idents heard the train stop at a certain center, they would invariably say ‘Here is Dr. Brouse.’ Through the efforts of Mr. Cameron, the KP members and Masonic members, the name Brouse was chosen instead of Box Lake.” (The school district, however, was called Box Lake from 1909-44 until it amal-
gamated with Nakusp.)In Port of Nakusp, Milt Parent clarifies that James
Cameron and Jim Morrison chose the name.The Brouse post office opened January 1, 1910,
closed May 31, 1917, reopened December 6, 1932 and closed for good May 30, 1964.
