House and Home House and Home

Page 2: Arrow Lakes News, November 26, 2015

The fall edition of House & Home has

hit Kootenay news-stands, and inside you can learn about green building, freeing your-self from clutter and the best way to store your wine.

“Knowing the aver-age home is saturated with products and processes harmful to personal and global health, I paraphrase Dr. King to say it is no longer a choice be-tween greenbuilding and non-green build-ing in the world, it’s green building and non-existence,” writes Nelson architect Matthew Stanley.

In his piece Building Green, Stanley goes through the different certification programs that exist locally for green building, and highlights the work of Carrie Fitzsimons and Dave Oosthuizen.

“Building green is about designing for today and for tomor-row,” he writes.

Elsewhere in the issue Laurel Collins writes about “how to create a clean canvas for a fresh start to any-thing you want”.

“Creating a clean slate means de-clutter-ing and this includes all kinds of clutter,” she writes. “Common clutter, as well as men-tal and emotional clut-ter.”

She offers simple strategies to rid your house of the old maga-zines, broken toys and junk drawers.

Trisha Elliott writes about a dream home in Shutty Bench.

“This elaborate blue and white palace of pillars, turrets, angles and contours sits upon an elegant, landscaped property that extends down to a sandy beach,” she writes.

The piece includes an interview with Rick Short, owner of Red Dog Carpentry.

Elliott also writes

about flooring, and interviewed Wendi Thomson of Maglio’s Building Centre.

Other stories in the issue are by Andrea

Bell about winter planning and Wendy Kelly on wine storage.

House & Home is published twice a year by Black Press.

Businesses prepared for power outagesWhen the power goes out, most people have an emergency

plan in their home to help get them through.What about larger businesses, particularly restaurants, or gro-

cery stores, where a lot of perishable foods are?It turns out, they have one too.“We have a contingency plan that kicks in right away,” said

Rejean Perrault, store manager at Overwaitea Foods. “First off, we make sure that there’s somebody in the building for the entire time of the power outage. We do temperature monitoring on all of our cases.”

Perrault said in the event of a longer power outage, the em-ployees will remove product from the cases and put them in freezers to hold the temperature.

“Our main concern is food safety. We want to make sure people aren’t buying a product that’s been out of the safe tem-perature zones.”

Safe temperature zones would be anything between between four degrees Celsius and sixty degrees Celsius, depending on the product. Once power is restored, they check products that might have fallen outside these temperature zones. If the temperature is either too high or too low, the product would have to be tossed.

Restaurants have a similar plan in place.“Whatever bills we have that we’re currently cooking, we finish

cooking, and then we turn everything off because everything is gas fired,” said Wade Denesyk, head chef at the K2 Rotor Lodge restaurant.

Food in the kitchens is also put into the coolers, which aren’t opened again until the power comes back on.

When he came in this morning, the first thing Denesyk did was check everything out.

“Anything that was prepped fresh yesterday, I wasn’t too wor-ried about, but any of our proteins, fish, seafood, meat, I went in there with a fine tooth comb over the whole kitchen.”

When the power outage happened on Nov. 17, staff quickly went to work making sure any customers that were in the restau-rant were safe and comfortable.

“We gather lanterns, we gather candles, so if there are people in here still eating, we want to make sure they’re comfortable, so they can finish their meals at least,” said Brenda Morden, head server at the K2 Rotor Lodge restaurant.

There were about seven tables being served that night, includ-ing people who were about to try and restore power to the area.

“We got them fed so they could get out on the road so they could get the power back on,” she said. “They did a great job. They worked really hard.”

Sisters run for researchTiya Volansky was never a runner.

Growing up, she had always been athletic, but she had never attempted any kind of long distance running.

That changed in the summer of 2013 when one of her daughters, Zacora, was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease.

Crohn’s disease and colitis are inflamma-tory bowel diseases, caused by an overactive immune system, and affects each person in a different way.

For starters, it can appear anywhere in the digestive system, from mouth to bum. It affects Zacora in her lower intestine. There is also a rating scale for the disease. Zacora’s case is considered to be moderately extreme.

“Before she was diagnosed, it was one of the most challenging time periods, ever. She suffered so much, she was in so much pain. She was constantly vomiting, screaming, crying, rolling around on the floor in pain. Different episodes throughout the day.”

Every year, there is a Rock & Roll Marathon series, which takes place in dif-ferent cities across the United States. The run for Crohn’s and Colitis research takes place in Las Vegas.

A couple of women from town had done the run the year before and mentioned it to Volansky.

“It was all just kind of timing. It was August when my daughter was diagnosed, and this was in September, and the run is in November,” she said. “I thought there was nothing more motivating to start running for.”

Volansky had eight weeks to train to be able to run the 21 kilometres, and did it on her own.

“I Googled different training plans to

get an idea of where to start. A lot of them suggest starting with run/walk intervals in the beginning, but with eight weeks, I didn’t have time for that.”

Volansky completed her third run this year. The last two years, she’s done the run with her sister, Naomi.

Tiya had asked Naomi to run the event with her the first time she did it, but Naomi declined. She soon changed her mind.

“After seeing her go to Vegas and run with her friends wearing their matching shirts to support my niece, I wanted to get involved.” She said.

Naomi gave herself a year to train and prepare, but ended up using the last four months before the race to do so. She said she underestimated how much preparing she actually needed.

“Training was hard, I hated every minute of it.” She said. “I kept hearing that I would experience a “runners high” and that it would become easier and I would fall in love with running. I don’t think that ever happened.”

Crohn’s disease isn’t considered an auto-immune disease, but the drugs Zacora takes are an immune suppressant. Every eight weeks, she and her mother have to go to the Children’s Hospital in Vancouver to get an infusion of medicine.

“They tried to reduce her dosage in the summer, and it was proven very quickly that she does need a really strong dosage. We suffered a really rough few weeks when they tried that. She also takes other pills daily to help control it.”

After her initial diagnosis, Zacora was put on an intense diet, called a simple car-bohydrate diet, which is 100 per cent grain free. She couldn’t eat oats, rice, or any kind of grain. Starches, including potatoes were out, as well as sugar. The only sweetener she was allowed was honey. Lactose is also out.

Volansky said it was hard for her daugh-ter, and really difficult to follow, with school functions, parties, and hanging out at friend’s places.

The first year following the diagnosis was a struggle for the family. Zacora had to be home schooled because she wasn’t well enough to make it to school most days.

It was also difficult for her classmates to understand.

“Not a lot of people do know what Crohn’s is, and she did get teased at times, with kids thinking they could catch it.”

Volansky said managing her daughter’s disease can be scary. Right now, they’ve got it fairly under control, but the body can reject the drugs at any time.

There doesn’t seem to be much aware-ness about Crohn’s disease. Unless someone has a friend or family member with it, not many people seem to know about it.

“I was overwhelmed with the number of people who either had never heard of or didn’t know what Crohn’s disease was,” said Naomi. “It doesn’t seem to get a lot of publicity. Hopefully this will help shed a little light.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Each year on November 11 we take time to remember all those brave men and women who served our country and fought to make this world a safer place for our families. We honour them by placing a wreath at the cenotaph in memory of our fallen soldiers and those that continue to serve our country. I hope that each and every one

knows why we honour them.

Whoever messed all the wreaths and threw the stands around at the cenotaph after the Remembrance Day Service — shame on you! I will bet that each and every one of you have a relative that served our country with honor and dignity. You should be ashamed.

Jackie Doyle, Nakusp

CorrectionIn the Nov. 19 issue of Arrow Lakes News,

we accidentally published the Community Calendar from the previous week.

We deeply regret this mistake, and would like to take this opportunity to apologize to our readers.

It was in April of this year that a group of veterans representing the Nakusp Legion branch #20, laid a wreath at the Cenotaph in honour of those who were involved in the Battle of Vimy Ridge which had taken place in France in 1917 during World War I. The occasion was the commemoration of Vimy Ridge Day and in memory of the 10,602 casualties who were mem-bers of the Canadian Corps.

The Canadian Virtual War Memorial stands in recognition of the sacrifices and achievements made by Canadians who defended our freedom. The Memorial contains photographs and memorabilia (note that the Nakusp and area Museum also displays vari-ous items pertinent to the history of the time), and the online memorial provides information concerning the graves and memorials of more than 116,000 brave souls who gave their lives for our country.

One can also visit the Department of National Defence’s image gallery on the Internet. Here you will find photo-graphs from the distant past along with more recent items including images of the repatriation of the Unknown Soldier, the CF-18 and the men and women in charge of operations at the

time.The National Library of Canada

(NLC) is responsible for collecting, protecting and promoting Canada’s published heritage and this too may be viewed on the Internet. The NLC is the place to go if you are trac-ing your family tree, with genealogi-cal information being available on the site. If one is unable to visit in per-son, arrangements can be made via our local library regarding borrowing publications. In addition, the National Defence Headquarters Library is con-sidered a treasure trove for novelists, researchers and historians. Close to 6,000 volumes, mostly on the subject of Canadian military history, may be borrowed via Nakusp library services.

Incidentally, the NLC sponsors vari-ous events including concerts, authors’ readings, exhibitions and panel discus-sions, many of which may be enjoyed

online.The National Archives of Canada

cares for millions of historic docu-ments including films, maps, treaties, government records and much more. This is known to be an excellent source of genealogical research and in par-ticular, service records of past military personnel.

Films and television programs with a Canadian viewpoint, are produced and distributed by the National Film Board of Canada. Topics are widely ranging from history to social trends, politics, medicine and healthcare as well as the environment, plus details of events which influence our society.

Possibility of a Nakusp and area trails master planThe Village of Nakusp will be applying for a grant

from the Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) to create a trails masterplan for the area. The funding application must be submitted by the village. There is funding available for the plan in the amount of $50,000. It was noted that Terry Welsh, Director of Parks and Recreation for the village, has extensive experience in preparing recreation and trails masterplans. He will be helping out with the project. The outcome of the plain is to identify current and future trail sites, and develop recommendations for future trail devel-opment activities.

RDCK Recycling Bin Relocation

Since installing the glass recycling bin near the village office, there has been a marked increase in use and vol-ume since the other bins were relocated. Because of this, the recycling program might have to be modified slightly. Currently, the village is capable of picking up all the recy-cling and handling it in one day.

Low water levelsIn a Nov. 17 teleconference with BC Hydro, it was re-

vealed there is a possibility water levels could get as low as 1,388 feet by the end of this month. BC Hydro needs to meet treaty requirements. Currently, there are issues with spillways, which need to be inspected and maintained. Mayor Karen Hamling has been in contact with BC Hydro and Interfor to ensure the ferries can remain in operation. If water levels drop to a certain point, the ferries will have issues and transportation across the water will be difficult.

Vandalism repairsThe village has been having some issues with vandals.

A couple of times a week, the village will find three or four road signs which have been driven over. Also, the stand pipe at the marina sani-dump required repairs. It is unclear if the person or persons involved were also involved in the damage done to the soccer field at the Nakusp & District Sports Complex on Oct. 1.

Staff report on arena roofOver the last several years, the arena has experienced

leaking in the roof over the arena lobby. Multiple attempts have been made to resolve the issue, but so far, none have been successful. An assessment report was conducted by Macleod Nine Consultants to provide recommendations on what the village should do. It was recommended that the village include the cost of repairs to the 2016 capital budget.

COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS: NOVEMBER 23

Page 5: Arrow Lakes News, November 26, 2015

The Arrow Lakes Historical Society (ALHS) was host to a documentary feature film on Nov. 20. The feature, Eyes in the Forest is a short film about local photogra-pher Jim Lawrence.

Instead of being held at the library, where something like this would normally take place, it was held in the archives of the ALHS. This would prove to be a wise decision, as so many people showed up, extra chairs were needed to accommo-date everyone.

Examples of Jim’s work were displayed along the back wall, and could be viewed by the public as they made their way to the seating area.

The film, produced by Miriam Needoba, was about 12 minutes long. There was no

background music in the film. Apart from Jim speaking, the only sounds were those which occurred natu-rally in the forest, like that of a rushing river.

Needoba first heard of Lawrence at Community Futures. She was intrigued by the style of the photo-graphs.

“They’re such strik-ing images,” she said. “They’re not just wild-life shots, they really speak to this tradition of portraiture, a very formal tradition. I was intrigued by it.”

Needoba had planned on making a documentary film, and though Lawrence would make a great subject.

To say Lawrence’s photos are striking is pretty spot on. He does a fabulous job of cap-turing the personality of the wildlife he pho-tographs. In the pho-tograph of an owl, you

can practically see one of its eyebrows raised in question. Another photo, a shot of a bald eagle, giving the camera a look as if to say “Who are you and what are you doing here?”

“I like to portray the bright side of an animal,” he said. “Like with people, animals have different moods. Sometimes they look happy and they’re smil-ing, sometimes they’re angry.”

He said sometimes the animals can make you embarrassed, like you have to walk away.

“Owls can really scowl at you. If they don’t want you around, they can tell you with their eyes.”

Growing up, Lawrence was sur-rounded by photogra-phers, from his mother, to teachers interested in nature and photog-raphy, to one very sur-prising source of inspi-ration: a trapper.

“He was an enlight-ened man who killed the animals, but he also treated it like a farm. He wouldn’t go over a trap of a given species. He was very careful.”

Members of the au-dience were excited to view the film, along with Lawrence’s photos.

“I’ve loved Jim Lawrence’s work from way back when, so I thought it was really wonderful to hear the man behind the pho-tographs,” said Linda Dixon. “You can tell in his photographs how much he feels for the wildlife, and to hear him speak was really wonderful.”

Lawrence shared something else close to his heart that night: The wish to end tro-phy hunting in B.C. There was a petition at the back of the room for people to sign. If it gets enough signa-tures, it will hopefully be submitted to the B.C.

Legislature. It currently has a few hundred sig-natures, but it needs a few thousand.

“Bears become friends. You can be-

come fond of a bear like you can become fond of a dog,” he said

“The thought of somebody shooting them just to hang their

head is outrageous. We’ve evolved beyond that. We have to get those other people who are lagging behind up to speed.”

Fun times at the NES school fairFun times were happening at Nakusp Elementary

School on Nov. 20.The annual Fun Fair took place, and as the name

suggests, a great time was to be had.The event is put on by the Grade 7 student council.

It’s like a circus fairground. Kids can buy tickets for 25 cents each. They can use these tickets to win prizes at the various games in the school, or in exchange for treats like cupcakes, popcorn, or juice.

Games at the fair included things like a ring toss, a duck pond, balloon pop, laser tag, bingo, and a ball pit.

Student council ran all the games, and, as per the circus theme, dressed up as clowns.

Putting on the event helps the Grade 7 students with things like organizational skills and social responsibil-ity.

“It’s really good for the kids, with counting the money and sorting the tickets, and making sure that things are working,” said Leslie Leitch, a Grade 7 teacher. “I think it just gives them a really great feeling of accomplishment.”

Money raised from the Fun Fair goes back into the school. It’s used for things like student council events, field trips, and anything else planned for that school year.

Deciding on what games to feature is up to the stu-dent council.

“The kids in my class take a look at some of the ideas, and we take a look at some of the possibilities

that could happen,” said Ledger Coates, student council president. ”If we see that we have all the right supplies and are able to make a certain game happen, then by all means, we do this game.”

Younger students had a great time at the fair, enjoy-ing the various games in the school.

“I like a lot of the events, especially the hockey one, because I’m a hockey player myself.” said Quinn Scambler.

Leitch said the fair is good, not only for the fun stu-dents have, but also for the positivity it produces.

“It’s pretty cool that the kids are wandering in a ran-dom way, and feeling comfortable doing that, so that the younger kids are comfortable in the older class-rooms, and the older kids are respectful of the younger classrooms. It’s good for them.”

Birds of Nakusp By Gary DavidsonLast week I was standing on the

Nakusp wharf and looking over the grassy flats beside the boat ramp. There I saw a bird cruising low over the snow covered field. My immediate reaction, based on the behaviour was Northern Harrier. This is a fairly large, slen-der hawk with long pointed wings. It flies low over fields as it hunts using occasional flaps and long glides. But the bird I was looking at was flapping much too much with deep floppy wing beats. As soon as I saw that, I knew I was looking at a Short-eared Owl. This is an uncommon bird in our area. They breed in grassland or marshy areas, something we have very little of. There are no breed-ing records at all for the Nakusp region. They do pass through here on migration sometimes, but only once every few years. Since 1980, I have recorded them in 11 different years. Sometimes they remain for days or even weeks, sometimes they are seen just the one day. The bird I saw last week was not seen again. Most local sightings have been of just one or two birds, but on one occasion small groups visit the area.

There is much variation in the dates of my records. I have seen them as early as mid-October; but in other years they don’t appear until well into December. Not all migratory species have pre-deter-mined routes and schedules; some seem to go only as far and as fast as conditions dictate. The bird here last week was probably living com-fortably up the valley somewhere,

(there is a lot of good habitat in the Revelstoke area), and was pushed along by the recent snows.

Typical food items are mice and voles. The owls forage over open fields, flying just two or three metres above the ground. They react quickly to anything seen in the grass by suddenly wheeling and plunging to the ground below. Hunting generally begins before dark in the late afternoon or eve-ning and continues into the night.

Moderate depth snow does not seem to hinder their ability to hunt; I have seen them diving into the snow and catching mice or voles that would have been invis-ible from above. As the snow gets deeper, this becomes more and more difficult.

When seen in flight, Short-eared Owls appear to be quite white. They are white on the breast and belly and on the undersides of the wings. But when sitting on a fence post or pole they appear much darker; their entire upper surface is brown.

Short-eared Owls are found in many parts of the world. They nest on the ground in a variety of open country habitats, including marshes, beaches, grasslands and open fields. Most nesting in BC occurs in the Okanagan or the lower Fraser Valley. More than half the recorded nests have had six or seven eggs and have raised five or six young. One nest was found with 13 eggs. The only nesting site in the Kootenays mentioned in Birds of British Columbia, is from the Creston area. Gary DavidsonShort-eared Owl.
