Since 1923

Going to bed with glow in the dark hands can be a hazard of the job when the job is cra ing a haunted house display. Being un-able to wash her hands well enough to remove the glowing paint resi-due on her skin is just one of the funny stories Betty Fahlman re-counts as she leads this reporter on a tour of the locally-famous scary setup she puts on every year. Fahlman has designed and exe-cuted a frightful display of cre-ative and macabre curios almost every October 31 since the 1980s.

If anyone knows how to dec-orate for Halloween, its Betty

Fahlman. She and her family all pitch in to make ideas come to life using spiders, ghosts, pump-kins, black lights and skeletons in every size, shape and colour imaginable. Fahlmans collection takes up several boxes when stored away, and she typically only gets a chance to display about two-thirds of it with each annual rendition.

e Fahlmans have curated a massive collection of Halloween bits and bobs. Some of the items have been hand made by Bet-ty and her grandchildren, some have been purchased and plen-ty have been donated by local friends and businesses such as Carsons Corner and Overwaitea.

Ive never had anything taken

or broken in more than 30 years. I think that says a lot about our com-munity, or maybe theyre scared of the witch, Fahlman laughs as she remembers being referred to as the Glenbank Witch at a meeting.

e purpose of the haunted house is pure fun and entertain-ment. Its always been free and it always will be. Its just sup-posed to be fun and not serious at all, Fahlman explained when asked why it doesnt collect rev-enue or donations for a cause.

What makes her feel old is that she realizes many of the parents coming with their children were once the children who came to be spooked when they were the same age. is year, she speculates that around

70 children and 50 adults, mostly dressed in costumes, came through for the one-night-only fear fest.

Fahlman loves the creative outlet it provides. Building and designing it brings out the artist in me. Having to rethink it every year, its like I am reinventing the wheel. She starts thinking about her design in Sep-tember and begins putting things together during the third week of October to have things ready for October 31. She is starting to get help from her granddaughters, ages 11 and 8, who seem to carry on the same passion and excite-ment she has for the strange and curious while she also receives help from her husband and her grand-son who help with the heavy li ing.

One cant miss the festive outdoor decorations that go up at this house on Alexander Road a few weeks before Betty Fahlman transforms her carport into a terrifying tour of Halloween delights. Photo by Trisha Shanks

RECREATION COMMISSION #4

FALL GRANTSNON-PROFIT

RECREATION GROUPSfor Village of Nakusp & Defined Area K

FOR APPLICATIONS OR INFORMATION:

Email [email protected] or call 250-265-3438

Or pick up applications at the Village of Nakusp Office.

Applications CloseNovember 17, 2014

Village sta provided a re-port on the cost of digital display driver-feedback speed signage and portable speed bumps along the busiest sec-tions of Broadway and 8 Ave-nue. Emergency Services and the Department of Highways typically dont like portable speed bumps so Councillor Joseph Hughes has requested a quote on permanent, con-crete bumps instead.

e council is pleased to -

nally have Kate Tuppers metal hockey-themed sculpture in place in its permanent home along the entrance wall of the Nakusp Arena.

e village agreed to pro-vide a letter of support to the new Burning Bright program, a concept that hopes to com-bine workplace experience and forestry jobs for youth in the area in cooperation with Work BC.

Permit and zoning approval is in order for the storage fa-cility going in at 1951 13 St, near the corner of Highway 23

and Hot Springs Road as long as a bu er of trees remains in place to maintain the overall rustic look and feel of the area.

NACFOR legacy fund was adopted to allocate a cer-tain amount of the dividends from the community forest proceeds to an ongoing cu-mulative trust which can be accessed if a large amount of funding is required for a large project. Some will still be allocated to smaller, com-munity-based grants to assist non-pro ts with their special projects.

EditorialElection coverage

Elections are both a boon and a curse to the newsroom. Whether you are writing for a big city daily or a community newspaper, election coverage is a double-edged sword.

e question that must always be an-swered is how do you decipher what is le-gitimate news, community news or cam-paign propaganda? You also have to ensure you are treating every candidate as equal as possible.

And the candidates, as well as their sup-porters, dont make it easy.

As part of the campaign, potential poli-ticians are everywhere. Local meetings and events that may not normally attract a huge crowd, will see attendance double as candi-dates and their promotional teams mingle, network and push their platforms.

en there are the passive photo bomb attempts.

Neutral coverage is a di cult task when everyone is either jumping into the photo op or wearing promotional buttons or car-rying literature for a particular candidate.

Add to that the letters to the editor which increase in frequency and contain under-lying political messages. While not written by the candidates themselves, they are fre-quently sent by a supporter or campaign manager.

For editors, it becomes a mine eld of what should, and more importantly what shouldnt, run.

e real fear is will actual news events be missed due to an over infatuation with fairness?

e fact is, incumbents have an advan-tage because, they are already in the public eye.

Council meetings will still get covered because, simply enough, news is still news.

Media will continue to cover newsworthy events, while trying to avoid unnecessary promotion.

We remain neutral, but just as important, we remain news reporters.

Our View

Seniors Column

Many of our seniors have looked forward to participating in the cho-ral group that meet for an hour every Wednesday at 11 a.m. at the seniors hall.

e founder and extraordinari-ly talented pianist and enthusiastic leader were until recently, Shirley Garvey. Although now retired from the post, the admiration and appreci-ation of Shirleys love and enthusiasm for music which many of us grew up with will always be recognized.

For over ten years, Shirley has served to remind us by example, that simply getting together weekly to sing just for the fun of doing so, has played an important role in the lives of many of us. e seniors Sere-

naders choral group could also count on participating regularly for relaxed enjoyment, and also to take part in many special community events such as concerts and special presentations held at various local venues. e Serenaders presence has brought so much pleasure to older participants in particular, as well as audiences of every age.

ank you Shirley, for your un-wavering dedication and generosity and for making time for everyone who, whether new to the community or not, was always made to feel wel-come.

In their desire to keep the ball roll-ing, the current choral group mem-bership, which is open to everyone, welcomes Dawna Dinning as the new piano accompanist. Dawna is of course a familiar musical gure known throughout the area and has kindly agreed to lead e Seniors Singers which also meets on Wednes-day mornings following the co ee

hour which runs from 10 to 11 a.m.. As both Nakusp Seniors president

Nancy Stewart and Dawna serve to remind us, those interested in joining any of the seniors activities are wel-come. In our community, those aged 50 years and over are considered se-niors and are encouraged to join forc-es with others in making new friends as well as exploring more about Na-kusp and the numerous leisure time, theatrical, cultural and educational opportunities which exist right here at home.

A good place to start gathering in-formation is to drop by the seniors hall for co ee on Wednesdays from 10 to11 a.m. Plan to stay a erwards and enjoy a fun and informal round of old favorites with the Seniors Sing-ers. Regardless of level of talent or type of musical interest, everyone is welcome. Each session is held from 11 a.m. to noon in the Seniors Cen-tres log building located near the high school.

KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES

Approximately 75 peo-ple showed up to the All Candidates Debate held at the Arena Auditorium on Wednesday October 29. De-spite the title, the only can-didates in attendance were current mayor, Karen Ham-ling and Councillor Guy Duchaine, both running for Mayor. This is thanks to both the Public School Trustees and Village Coun-cillor positions all being acclaimed (same number of candidates as positions.) The two running for mayor sat at a table on a low stage, which also held a podium for moderator Pat Dion.

Both candidates cited im-provements to the village hot springs and trails as a high priority and a factor in retaining and increas-ing tourism to the area. Duchaine said, Funding at the federal and provincial level is available to make the campground a little big-ger, because its very profit-able and we are investing in the A-frames to create up-grades.

Hamling stated that she sees improvements coming from a Public/private part-nership, and CBT can come to the plate on that too. We havent had nearly the in-vestment that other com-munities have had from the CBT.

An audience member expressed concern about getting more families here, wanting the kids to stay here, teachers to be employed and

asked, What are your plans to keep families here?

Hamling stated, Council is working with develop-ment board and the cham-ber to come up with a solu-tion, but there is no magic bullet here. We will do the best for the community that we can.

Duchaine took the same question, Creating work. If we dont have it, kids arent going to stay here. Not going to be easy but its feasible.

Guy Duchaine divided his vision for the next four years into four specific cat-egories: improvement to the hot springs, chalets, camp-ground and the trails going to it; creating work for young adults to encourage them to stay in the village; increasing tourism by having events in and around the area; and providing improvements to the infrastructure for water and sewage. When asked why people should vote for him, Duchaine answered, It is a time for change in lead-ership, and I can provide this change. A vote for me would also see a new face at the board of RDCK. New questions would be asked and new ideas introduced at the council. Duchaine says a positive attitude is paramount to success. He believes that goals can be accomplished by dogged-ly following through with plans and working toward goals in spite of the obsta-cles.

Current Mayor, Karen Hamling is concerned about economic diversity in Na-kusp. Being able to progress

towards once again having well-paying jobs and pro-viding a good living for our young people and families while maintaining utmost support for our more se-nior residents is vital. She stressed the amount of ad-vocacy she is involved in, promoting Nakusp and providing the building of the ferry as one of her best achievements to date while in office.

Passionately committed to Nakusp, Hamling says, I feel very strongly that Na-kusp is positioned to move forward economically over the next few years.

Hamling believes she deserves villagers votes because she has the ex-perience, knowledge and energy to do the job well. During Hamlings run, she also states Nakusp has had access to a lot of extra cash thanks to her e orts with the various councils bringing in just over $7 million dollars in grant funding to the com-munity for upgrades to the infrastructure.

ese grants for upgrades have provided many jobs in our community as well as saving the tax payer huge costs for needed infrastruc-ture replacements, she ex-plained.

A mere 43 per cent of eli-gible voters showed up at the polls in 2011, however every-one would like to see those numbers be much higher this year. For detailed infor-mation about who is eligible to vote, registering to vote for the rst time, hours and more, visit www.elections.bc.ca.

TRISHA SHANKSArrow Lakes News

The mayoral candidates speak out

Chamber campaign uses social media to increase voter turnout

Less than half of eligible voters cast their vote in the 2011 municipal election. Of the local population, a mere 43 per cent let their voices be heard, and even less for the rural ar-eas represented by the RDCK at 21 per cent. This is not a new phenom-ena. According to Elections Canadas website, a decrease in votes being cast among eligible voters has been a re-curring theme in Canada since 1988. Low numbers can signify a few dif-ferent things: overall contentment, disenfranchisement or indifference. In countries where there is mandato-ry voting, participation numbers are very high at 95 per cent.

The Nakusp & District Chamber of

Commerce has come up with a strat-egy to improve local participation in the election process. Incorporating Facebook, selfies, personal I voted posts, email signatures, websites and even printed signs, the Chamber is using a multi-faceted approach to generate top-of-mind awareness for the Get out the vote campaign.

When asked why he thinks the numbers are so low, Nakusp Cham-ber of Commerce President Peter Welkerling speculated, Complacen-cy - they think my vote doesnt make a difference, but every vote counts.

Using the marketing principal of the rule of seven, suggesting that a consumer must see the same market-ing brand a minimum of seven times to commit it to memory, the Cham-ber could be onto something. If peo-

ple start posting the images and us-ing the graphics on their email, social media and websites, this could catch on and remind people to show up and make their voice heard. In Nakusp, eligible voters will only be asked to choose the new mayor because all the council and school trustees are acclaimed, meaning that the exact number of prospective candidates fit the exact number of positions, there-fore, there is no need to vote.

Welkerling explains, It would be nice to see an increase to 60 per cent from 43 per cent. This would mean that over half of the eligible voters in the area would need to show up to the voting station on November 15 at the Nakusp Arena Auditorium. Vot-ing takes place between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m..

He was a long time member of the Arrow Lakes Historical Society and instru-mental in obtaining interviews and photographs for his long time friend Milton Parent. He also insisted that Milton write a book about the tug-boaters of the Columbia River and the Arrow Lakes where Bill worked for several years. Bill explained in the book the dangers of the work and supplied many names of the men who worked in these dangerous waters hauling huge bundles of logs for the mill in Castlegar from above Revel-stoke. Bill worked as a mate for John Finch and later and on the smaller tugs as a skipper be-cause you didnt need papers to be a skipper on the smaller tugs.He was the one who encour-aged Milton and the Histori-cal Society to help get funding to do trail work on Kuskanax Mountain up to Vickys View - named for Bills wife who had passed away a few years earlier.

From an early age, Bill played the drums in the Boys Bugle Band - he is shown in this photo with drums his parents bought

for him when he was quite young. Milton Parent, who was a few years younger than Bill, had learned to play the bugle when his brother brought one home. He could hardly wait to be old enough to join too. Lead-er Jack Bailey gave Milton a tri-angle to play and he was so dis-appointed! Bill piped up Give him a bugle, he knows how to

play it! Another reason for Mil-ton and Bill to be such good friends. They played for dances in different groups during their younger years and in 2012 they played in the pouring rain in a Rube Band on July 1st, just a few days before Milton passed away suddenly. Let us hope that they are together once again playing music and talking history.

The Kate Tupper origi-nal was a collaboration be-tween the Arrow Lakes Arts Council, Tupper, and the Village. It features an adult hockey player, a child and

three other figures, which could be seen as spectators, a ref, or even a coach. Pro-fessional welder Tupper was pleased to provide anoth-er installment of public art saying that even though its not her regular style, she has received a lot of great feed-

back about the work.It brought art to an au-

dience that usually doesnt normally think about it, she explained. People who really love hockey were ac-tually quite emotional about it and that was pretty neat to hear.

It is with profound sadness to announce the passing our dear Dad, William Robert Bill Barrow on ursday, October 30th, 2014 at St. James Cottage Hospice in Vancouver, BC. His optimistic attitude forged his courageous and unyielding desire to live during his lengthy struggle with cancer.

Dad was born on April 22, 1930 in Nakusp, BC, the only son of Merril and Edith Barrow who predeceased him. He is also predeceased by his darling wife, Vicky (Obayashi) and sister

Gay (McCusker). He is survived by sister Charlotte Humphries (Windsor, ON) and sons, Robin and Grant (Robin Taddy), daughter Hollis (Howard Ho) grandchildren, Kyla (Clayton Sartorius), Brenin, great-grandsons Cashen and Keean. Surviving in-laws include Robbie Obayashi, Sue Yoshida, Wendy Obayashi and Victor Schiavon. He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.

Dad married Vicky (Obayashi) in 1953 and raised his family in Nakusp B.C. He was a devoted family man who maintained strong ties with his extended family and friends. e passing of Mom in 2005 prompted Dad to establish Vickys View as a lasting tribute to his beloved wife. is sprouted the roots of the Nakusp & Area Community Trails Society of which he is a founding member.

Bill was a tugboat skipper in the towboat industry until his retirement in 1992. He was a skilled fast water man who navigated the river drive in the powerful currents of the Columbia River. His unceasing passion for the spectacular Columbia River and the Arrow Lakes kept him active and agile after retirement as he continued to beachcomb the lake with his own tugboat, the Arrow Brave. Dad spent much of his time developing the family vacation property known as Barrows Narrows.

Bill had enormous respect and an ardent interest in the history of the Arrow Lakes. He was a colorful storyteller who loved to relate the rich history of the early pioneers that built the community of Nakusp. In his earlier years, Bill was a key member of the Kinsmen Club and the K-40s and was committed to servicing the community. Bill was an active member of the Nakusp Senior Citizens Association, the Arrow Lakes Historical Society, AA, and the Nakusp Trail Society. He was a Past Master and a long-standing member of Star of the West Lodge No.61.

Dad was a good man who worked hard, loved his family, friends and the community of Nakusp and will be missed dearly. We can all take comfort knowing his legacy will live on in every life he touched.

A service to honour Dads life will be held on Saturday, November 15th, 2014 at the United Church, Nakusp, BC at 1:00 pm. A reception will follow at the Legion Hall. In-lieu of owers, donations may be made in his name to the Arrow Lakes Historical Society or the Nakusp & Area Community Trails Society in Nakusp, BC.

It is with profound sadness to announce the passing our dear Dad, William Robert Bill Barrow on ursday, October 30th, 2014 at St. James Cottage Hospice in Vancouver, BC.

The Nakusp Pee Wee House Falcons played host to Grandforks e Nakusp Pee Wee

House Falcons played host to Grandforks on Satur-day. Despite both teams being very evenly matched, Grandforks outscored that Nakusp team 14-4.

Devon Coates got the Falcons on the scoreboard with the assists going to Ewan Carter and defence-man Darian Smith. Coates followed that up with his second of the game with the assists going to Kim-berly Roberts and goalten-der Noah Fizzard.

Early in the third period

Isaac Flamand scored with the assists going to Aidan Hascarl and Smith. Coates ended the game with his hat-trick goal assisted by Carter and Roberts.

e Falcons made the long trip to Boundary on Sunday. Again both teams were evenly matched. Coates opened up the scor-ing just three minutes in to the rst period, assist-ed by Carter. Boundary came right back and tied the game with a quick goal. Right o the face-o , Coates put the go ahead

goal in the net with the as-sist going to Trinity Didier. Coates made the game 3-1 at the end of the rst peri-od with a breakaway goal. Coates opened the second period with his fourth goal of the game with the assist going to Dakoda Fizzard. Boundary ended the sec-ond period with two quick ones but Nakusp held the lead with a score of 4-3.

Boundary tied the game up 4-4 early in the third pe-riod and both teams battled to get the go ahead goal. Coates got his h straight

goal of the game in the middle of the third, assist-ed by Carter. Both teams battled back and forth for the remainder of the game but the Falcons could not hold the 5-4 lead. Bound-ary scrambled in front of the Falcons net and snuck the goal in that would tie the game 5-5 with just 23 seconds le in the game.

Fire Prevention WeekOctober 915

Terry Warren and the fi re chiefs dont play with fi re prevention

At rst the long string of trucks coming down the highway looks like a parade of re ghters; most trucks are emblazoned with a regional emblem declaring which region they are representing. These arent the pump trucks trundling down the road on a grey rst Satur-day in October, though. The crested convoy carry the re chiefs from all of the Kootenays who are about to converge on the Nakusp re ghters training ground near Brouse Loop.

This past weekend, Kootenay re chiefs gathered to test a new re- ghting foam. The chiefs gathered around the salesman who gave his pitch about the foam being the most environmentally friendly product available, with a non-corrosive, non-toxic formula that is water based with food-grade ingredients, and can be used for any kind of re.

But the chiefs didnt come here to listen

to the spiel, they were here to set things on re and see it in action before they put their money down.

Light it up! one chief encouraged. The foam was tried on res started on

wood, a car, tires and pure fuel. In a funny twist, Nakusp re ghters were

starting res, Reg Gustafson standing over the burnables and coaxing them to get going with a jerry can of gasoline.

The grey day hadnt dampened any spirits; there was lots of fuel for jokes, and the chiefs traded them freely as they waited for the res to be lit.

The rst re was a bit of a let down, with only a small corner of a giant pile of wood getting burned, but the car was far more dra-matic.

At rst, the closed car just lled with smoke.

Thats like all the cars driving away from Shambhala, the Salmo re chief joked.

When the door was open to feed oxygen to the re, it ripped along, breaking the front windshield and shooting ames out. Reading the temperature with a hand-held thermal im-aging device, the re ghters waited until the temperature was over 900 degrees, and then they were on it, putting it out in no time.

Putting out a re is more than getting rid of ames, and the ghters worked on the car until it was completely extinguished.

Next, Nakusps own tire re was started up. The Salmo chief told me that tires are one of the most dangerous parts of a car in terms of re. The pressurized air in the tire causes them to blow out like all-season radial bombs. And although they take a while to catch re, once theyre going, theyre very dif cult to extinguish.

As the wind shifted, moving the column of smoke, the re chiefs moved too, knowing very well the toxic nature of the smoke they can encounter.

The re ghters, in their full suits and masks, took down the tire re extremely quickly again.

But the re prevention campaign isnt fo-cusing on tires or cars this year, its targeting house res and family safety.

House res are the third leading cause of death among children mostly as a result of smoke inhalation.

Kids start 30 per cent of these res. Such sobering statistics illustrate the need for re safety education among young people.

The Nakusp & District Vol. Fire Depart-ment is offering local Kindergarten to Grade 5 students the opportunity to participate in an educational re safety program designed to prevent re-related injuries and fatalities.

The materials have been provided thanks to the generous support of local businesses and organizations. An excellent resource for parents too, the programs contain important information and web sites for more help.

Deputy Chief Reg Gustafson, pump operator James Peterson, and fi refi ghters Tom Zeleznik, Rory McLeod, and Gord Hogaboam put on a show for the visiting Kootenay fi re chiefs.CLAIRE PARADIS/ARROW LAKES NEWS

Bluesman brings soul of the South to Silverton

Son of a civil rights law-yer and a ddle player, Doc MacLean was exposed to country blues and folklore at an early age. Hailing from the Deep South, MacLean has played washboard, harmonica and guitar with many of the great original delta bluesmen. He has been band leader and recording artist for 40 years, and his recent annual blues tours have been playing across Canada for eight years.

First known for his work as an accompanist on harmon-ica and washboard, Doc pro-ceeded to make his own mark as a guitarist, singer, arranger and band leader.

For 15 years he toured a nine-piece Memphis-New Orleans jump band, Dr Limbo and His Fabulous Off-Whites, and released a number of sin-gles some of which achieved heavy regional and college air-play. Doc MacLean has con-tinued to play signi cant North American folk and blues

festivals.Performing on bottle-

neck and standard guitar, Doc MacLean now appears solo, as well as with upright bass and percussion. While his lyr-ics are mainly contemporary, his approach as a guitarist-songster re ects not only his exposure to southern string bands and jug bands, but also to Delta players and storytell-ers such as Charlie Patton, Son House, and Sam Chatmon.

Now, marking 30 years on the blues highway, his work as

a songwriter re ects his fam-ily roots in the labour move-ment, his time spent living and performing in the rural south-ern United States, and his per-sonal connections to the oral and musical history of the Delta. He views his own com-positions as part of an unbro-ken tradition. Now as, Amer-ica rediscovers its roots, new audiences are discovering Doc MacLean.

See the man and hear the music at the Silverton Gallery on Nov. 7 at 8 p.m.
