Studio Connexion was filled last Friday evening with the am-ber palettes and verdant land-scape paintings of Mirja Vahala and Brigitte Desbois. Familiar scenery and local landmarks were freshly interpreted in acrylic and oil by these two talented women.

Both Artists are members of the Federation of Canadian Art-ists. They are prolific in the “Plein Air” style which means In the Open Air, which describes the act of painting outdoors — also called “Peinture sur le Motif ” or “what the eye actually sees.”

The barns and fields of Brouse Loop found new character with deeper dream like acrylic co-lours while staying true to local geography in Mirja Vahalas pan-oramic piece titled “Backyard.” The artist tries to paint beyond the representation of a landscape and find the story in its abstrac-tion. She feels this body of work is a culmnination of the last few years painting in Nakusp and above New Denver.

Vahala says, “I try to create the feeling of a place with the stories behind. I sense a spirit every-where I go...it could be a build-ing or a landscape and I do try to connect into the spirit side of

something and if I can do that as an artist, I’m happy.”

Vahala recently returned from Italy where she taught a Plein Air workshop to five Canadian artists. They painted their way through Cinque Terre whose five haphazardly constructed fishing villages date back to the early medieval period with dramatic cliffside seascapes and shorelines. She also enjoys teaching at her new artist retreat in Balfour and this weekend expects over 17 art-ists to come and share her space.

The familiar barn at the top of Brouse Loop, owned by Len Gustafson was painted in classic oils by Brigitte Desbois. The local landmark was familiar in struc-ture but depicted in muted nudes and ochre tans that were comple-mented by the autumn evening light in Studio Connexion.

Desbois is from Montreal but grew up in London and Paris and enjoyed touring the galleries and museums of Europe. Desbois re-members one of her first paint-ing classes she undertook with a sports injury that one would assume would be tennis but in fact was baseball. She felt she still learned technique even though she could only paint with her left hand.

Desbois was invited to do a solo show at Studio Connexion in

2012 with great success and com-munity support... with enough interest she will lead a Plein Air workshop in the spring in Na-kusp. She feels she could paint here forever with the spectacular viewpoints and changing weath-er. She says of painting along the Nakusp waterfront, “Having the beaches of Nakusp so close, I don’t see why you would explore, although I’ve heard of amazing waterfalls and I’m sure I will find many places on my return trips. With such a pool of ideas and beautiful scenery so close, why waste time searching for the per-fect spot?”

Anne Beliveau, curator and owner of Studio Connexion wel-comed patrons with an abun-dance of prosciutto, herb bour-sin, pate, baguette, grapes, olives, oysters and handcrafted artisan chocolate from Jennifer Choco-late.

The show runs until Septem-ber 19. The gallery is open Tues-day-Saturday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. or by appointment by calling 250-265-3586 or 250-265-8888.

Vahala will return to Nakusp Sept. 18-20 to teach a painting class, “Paint in the great Out-doors.” For more information and to pre-register call Selkirk College at 250-265-4077 or email [email protected].

All members and guests welcome!

Su� erfest 2015 enjoyed another successful year with enthusiastic athletes participating from Rev-elstoke, Calgary, Canmore, Rossland, New Denver, Burton and Nakusp. � e three-day event started on Saturday Sept. 5 in Kaslo; competitions continued in New Denver and Nakusp had the privilege of hosting the Kootenay Su� erfest � nal events at the Gazebo across from Nakusp Public Beach.

Cyclists, runners, volunteers and spectators gath-ered to enjoy a fast paced showcase of local athletes who kept up with the seemingly unending energy of the local children participating.

� e Corporate Challenge was a duathlon of run-ning and biking that used the old railway trail and Nakusp waterfront for a challenging public course. � e “Homegrown Honeys” placed � rst, “� e Ani-mals” from the S.P.C.A. placed second and the la-dies from the Nakusp Public library, “� e Folios” brought home third place.

� e “Furry Forty” was a 40k loop that involved local and travelling characters in costumes and an abundance of determination. Female winners were Erica Pataki in � rst place, homegrown Karen An-derson in second place and Roan English in third place.

Mens division in the “Furry Forty” heralded Karl Sefara, Eric Ross and Don Zinzelmeir with gold, sil-ver and bronze homemade medals.

� e “Tour De’ Nakusp” was taken by Mike

� omas who was seen enjoying a complimentary strawberry twizzler and H2o shortly a� er his tri-umphant win.

� e Female Duathlon saw Robin � omas with � rst place, Tammy Macpherson taking second and Rebecca Long in third place a� er taking multiple wins and participating in both the Kaslo and New Denver events. Mens division had Lorne Mclennan and Kip Drobish placing � rst and second respec-tively.

In the Junior Girls Duathlon Kolibri Drobish placed � rst, Zoe Larson was second with Jaklyn El-liott in third place. Junior Boys Duathlon saw Elias Lampimaki in � rst place, Ezra Allen in second and Ryder Mclellan in third.

� e hero of the day was unaniomously greeted with thunderous applause and heartfelt cheers on the homestretch when Taite Hoyem from Cal-gary crossed the � nish line with arms raised to the crowds. Taite was born legally blind and at 15 yrs. old, placed � rst in his age category for the Junior Decathlon. He navigated the course with sweat, determination and a huge smile taking his medal with a pride shared by every competitor that par-ticipated in the event.

Organizers all agreed Nakusp was a scenic and hospitable site for the event. � ey were over-whelmed by the participation and community sup-port this year and thanked the many volunteers, athletes, and spectators who made this year an awe-some memory and they look forward to an even bigger turnout next year.

Jean, 80 years old, was the oldest competitor at the race and after � nishing a 12km run in Kaslo volunteered the next day at the Nakusp Sufferfest site.

Community Futures Central Kootenay would like to thank and extend best wishes to long time Self Employment Counsellor Kay Ryan who recently retired from the organization a� er 26 years of helping Kootenay entrepreneurs start businesses.

Ryan worked as the Self Employment Program Coordinator when the program was � rst launched at the Community Futures Central Kootenay o� ce in Nelson in 1989. She mentored the entrepreneurs behind successful local businesses like Meritxell Books, Jennifer Chocolates and hundreds of others.

In 2010, Ryan moved to New Denver where she took on the part-time role as Self Employment Program Counsellor for Com-munity Futures in the Arrow and Slocan Lake satellite o� ce. She remained in this role until her retirement earlier this summer.

“Kay has had a tremendous impact on the lives of SE program clients who she guided through the planning and launch phases of their businesses,” said Self Employment Program Manager Wade Sather. “We’re grateful for her contribution to Community Futures and the local business community.”

Ryan has passed the reigns for the Arrow and Slocan Lakes Self Employment Program to Marilyn Rivers, who assisted Ryan in o� ering the program for the past three years. � ough retired, Ryan will remain involved with Community Futures Arrow and Slocan Lakes by continuing to o� er free business counselling to individuals not eligible for the Self Employment program who require guidance on starting up a new business.

“It’s been a pleasure to work with entrepreneurs in the com-munity and see their businesses grow and thrive,” Ryan said. “I’m happy to be retiring and staying in the community where I can continue to visit past clients who are now successfully running their businesses and contributing to the rural economy.”

Community Futures Central Kootenay sta� can be contacted through Arrow and Slocan Lakes Community Service o� ce which is located within the Community Services building at 205 6th Ave NW in Nakusp, across from the Service BC building. To make an appointment for free business counselling or to learn more about Community Futures services, call 250-265-3674 ext. 201.

Nakusp and Nakusp and

September 11, 1925 Labor Day, 1925, will long be remembered by

Nakusp residents as a day full of excitement and stir. � e day’s events started at 9:30 with a Boys’ Fire Drill, aged 12-15 years old. It was comical to see the younger generation take such interest in this class of sport and it did the older folk a lot of good to see the youngsters perform. � e winning team was coached by Jack Olsen and the second place team by Art Dunn. � e other two coaches were Dan Berard and H. Aalten.

In the races, which followed, Vera Davies and Frank Russell won the ages 4-8 races; Frank Atherton won the men’s 100-yard sprint; How-ard Hiltz won the boys’ bicycle race; Mrs. Jones won the board sawing and Miss Noales won the ladies’ bicycle race. � e team of Jack Olsen and Dan Berard won the � re drill; Olsen and C. Hiltz won the hose laying and connecting event, and the Old Fireman’s Drill was won by T. Morgan and Jim Morrison.

� e Nakusp Brass Band deserves much credit for adding so much to the � avor of the day. � e Masquerade Ball in the evening had such splen-did costumes that it will long be remembered. Mrs. F. Rushton won the Ladies Original Cos-tume contest, while J. McKellar won the men’s prize for his Weary Willy costume.

September 12, 1935 Many New Denverites experienced thrills last

week when Ginger Coote and Cli� Peane visited town with a monoplane and a moth before taking passengers for rides. � is is the � rst time a plane has stayed in New Denver for longer than a few

hours and the � rst time a great many citizens have had a chance to ride in one. Edna and E� e Shannon, Ed and Stanley Aylwin � ew to Nakusp on Saturday morning and Violet Gunn, Bernice Burkitt and Jack Sanderson were Nakusp’s � y-ing visitors on Sunday when Mr. Coote le� for his visit to the Arrow Lakes. Mr. Coote is from the Bridge River area where he has a freighting business and is � ying around on a month’s vaca-tion and taking pictures of each town he visits.

September 13, 1945Twenty men competed in the Slocan Golf

Tournament on the weekend with New Denver’s veteran golfer Johnnie Teir again winning the Eddie Graham Cup. � e ladies’ Neil Tattrie Cup was won by Mrs. Roberts.

Peter J. Durkin Sr., an old timer of Nakusp, died in Trail hospital Saturday at the age of 77. He had lived in Nakusp for 33 years, having only recently moved to Trail.

September 15, 1955 Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Perkinson have returned

from Ferguson, B.C. where, with Mrs. Perkin-son’s sister, they made a three-day trip into the alpine basin above Trout Lake to erect a cairn for the ashes and a bronze plaque to the memory of their grandmother Mrs. Alice Jowett, pioneer hotel woman and prospector of Trout Lake. Mrs. Jowett came to Trout Lake in 1897 and died early this year at the age of 101. � e alpine basin was her favorite spot in the hills and she owned several mineral claims there.

September 9, 1965 Barnes Creek Contractors walked o� with the

woodsman Trophy for team competition at the Sports Day held at Edgewood on Labor Day. � e six-man team consisted of Henry Fehdrau, John Brown, Alan Collins, Hugo Klein, Harold Hug and Mike Bilinski.

September 17, 1975 � e Legion Hall was � lled to capacity September

11 as residents assembled to pay tribute to Neil Shaw. Shaw died suddenly on September 9 a� er a short illness at the age of 53. Mr. Shaw was a well-respected businessman and had been a resident of Nakusp since 1948.

Charlie Granewall won the men’s trophy at the eighth Annual Nakusp Open Golf Tournament on the weekend. Dick Roberts won the long drive. Judy Gran won the ladies’ trophy with Wendy Granewall winning the long drive. Huw George was the junior winner and Joe Desrochers won the junior long drive competition.

September 11, 1985Westar Timber has made a proposal to the Ca-

nadian minister of state for forests, which could provide 200 jobs in Nakusp. O� cials of Westar told Nakusp Village Council that a proposal was made in late August to establish a modes resource manage-ment area in Tree Farm License area No. 23, with an integrated silviculture project centered in Nakusp. Jim Cross, General Manager of Westar, told council if the government comes up with the funding it would create 200 jobs per year for � ve years.

Last November, Ann Barrington and Marilyn McKinnon of Nakusp contacted the Arrow Lakes Health Care Auxiliary Thrift Store and asked them to save jeans that would normally have been sent to the dump. Marilyn posted on the Nakusp Communica-tor Facebook page requesting donations of flannel.

These ladies decided to make quilts for the needy. They took turns picking up a bag of jeans every week. They both worked on their own at home and nine months later they have 33 quilts using jeans from the thrift store and donated flannel.

Three quilts have been donated to a local family that lost everything in a fire. The remaining 30 are being delivered shortly.

Ann has a contact in Prince George who knows lots of people who are in need of a quilt to help keep warm in the cold winter months. They have made a variety of quilts suitable for men, women and chil-dren.

Ann and Marilyn wish to thank the ladies from the thrift store and local Nakuspians for donating the materials they needed to make the quilts.

What are Words Worth?

“Flash in the pan”Meaning: Something disappointingly short-lived.Origin: There was an old type of gun that had a ‘pan’ on which a trail of powder led from the charge to the flint. Sometimes the powder ignited, but the gun didn’t go off. Hence it was merely a “flash in the pan.”

In the Kootenays, not much goes to waste. Gar-bage is recycled, automobiles are held on to long after their cup holders become undersized for to-day’s gigantic sodas. The train of thought goes that if something’s broken, fix it, and if something’s not being used for what it was intended, use it for some-thing else.

Take the old Nakusp Fire hall, for example. In 2011, the building was put up for sale, having been made obsolete by the newly-constructed Emer-gency Services building. Though it was a piece of community history, its price — in the $300,000 area — made it seem unlikely that anyone would swoop in and give it a new lease on life.

Enter the Old Fire hall Collective Society. The group began in 2009, looking for ways to boost the local agricultural economy. With the fire hall, it seemed they’d found their avenue — it could pro-vide an indoor, year-round venue for the sale of lo-cal produce. Undaunted by the task, the group set about proposing their plan to the village council. Matters progressed, and in 2014, they were granted a lease. Soon after, a contract was signed with the British Columbia Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation, who provided four workers and $130,000 through their Job Creation Partner-ship program. Fast-forward to present day, and the work is done; the fire hall itself has been completely renovated, inside and out.

On Sept. 4, residents gathered to celebrate the fire hall’s grand re-opening. It was a preview of what’s to come for the building, featuring local peo-ple and their wares. Ana Hohertz presided over a table of baked goods, Darlene Driediger had spices, and Faye Macpherson brought the triple-threat of knitting, canned goods, and pies.

The indoor location wasn’t terribly necessary on such a bright, sunny day, but you can bet it will be useful in case of any of those sudden Kootenay weather changes. And with winter coming up, well, nobody likes snow in their pie.

Rosemary Hughes, one of the chief organizers and driving forces behind the Old Fire hall Col-lective, was pleased with the turnout. Hughes isn’t stopping yet, though; she and the rest of the society have high hopes for the fire hall’s future. Their mis-sion for a year-round farmer’s market is,“To devel-op a system of farming that is economically viable, socially acceptable and environmentally sound. To advance local food production, encourage small scale farmers and create employment while sharing knowledge and resources; and using only healthy, sustainable agricultural practices,” says Hughes.

Further plans for the building include a commu-nity kitchen, which CBT funded in August, and an agricultural tool “library” that farmers can borrow from and contribute to.

When asked for a picture in front of the refur-bished hall, Hughes gracefully declined.

“That wouldn’t be fair, because it isn’t just about me. It’s everybody that participated. Without their contributions, this never would’ve happened.”

Well-known author Caroline Woodward has released a new book: Light Years: Memoir of a Modern Light-house Keeper (Harbour Publishing, $29.95). She will be on tour in the Kootenays, and will be doing events in the following locations:

Nakusp: Presentation and book signing at the Nakusp Library on Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 7 p.m.

Nelson: Presentaton and book signing at the Nelson Library on � ursday, Sept. 24 at 7 p.m.

New Denver: Presentation and Book Signing at Bosun Hall in New Denver on Friday, Sept. 24 at 7 p.m.

In 2007, Caroline Woodward was itching for a change. With an estab-lished career in book-selling and pro-motion, four books of her own and having raised a son with her husband, Je� , she yearned for adventure and to re-ignite her passion for writing. Je� was tired of piecing together low-pay-ing part-time jobs and, with Caroline’s encouragement, applied for a position as a relief lightkeeper on a remote North Paci� c island. � ey endured lonely months of living apart, but the

way of life rejuvenated Je� and inspired Caroline to contemplate serious shi� s in order to accompany him. When a permanent position for a lighthouse keeper became available, Caroline quit her job and joined Je� on the lights.

Light Years is an eloquent personal account that details Caroline’s endur-ance of extreme climatic, interpersonal and medical challenges, as well as the practical and psychological aspects of living a happy, healthy, useful and cre-ative life in isolation.

Caroline Woodward is the author of Disturbing the Peace (Polestar, 1990), which was nominated for the Ethel Wilson BC Book Prize, Alaska Highway Two-Step (Polestar, 1993), Penny Loves Wade, Wade Loves Penny (Oolichan, 2010) and two children’s books that have also been nominat-ed for many prizes. She lives on the Lennard Island Lightstation with her husband, Je� George.

� ese free events are made possi-ble with the assistance of the Canada Council for the Arts. For more infor-mation, go to www.harbourpublishing.com.

Celebrated author comes to Nakusp

Most executors, when asked if they would ever take that task on again, would answer with a resound-ing “ No”.

Seminar presenter, Kevin Holte, District Manager with Fami-lyside/Purple Shield says, “Executors, usu-ally at a very emotional

and stressful time in their lives, need to com-plete a task they have never done or did once twenty years ago. � ey are required to � nd and gather speci� c docu-mentation, know who to contact and pay nu-merous fees. For many, it is daunting. � at’s why we are thrilled to

be able to provide this important information that can save families unnecessary headaches and estate settlement costs”

Ninety-sixth in a series on West Kootenay/Boundary place names

In the last installment, we be-gan looking at the origin of Kaslo, first mentioned in 1889 as Caslo.

The Kaslo Claim of June 9, 1893 wrote: “It is surprising how many different ways people spell the name of this city. Here are some of the ways: Caslo, Kasaloo, Kelso, Kalso, Kasslow, O’Kaslo, Kasloo, Kaslien, Caslien, Kissloo, Kisslow, Cashloo, and many oth-ers. The proper and official way to spell it is Kaslo, always with a big K.”

George Owen Buchanan, West Kootenay’s early timber baron, addressed the subject in an ad-dress to the annual convention of the Boards of Trade in Eastern BC. His speech was reproduced in The Kootenaian on Oct. 30, 1913.

“‘Look for timber on Caslo Creek,’ said Mr. G.M. Sproat, government agent at Revelstoke when I was leaving in May 1888 for my first trip down the Co-lumbia River to Kootenay Lake. He was kind enough to spell the name for me: C-a-s-l-o. ‘I have the information from the late [Robert] Sproule,’ he said … And now as to the name. I have seen old maps in which the name ap-pears spelled with an initial C. Mr. [David] Kane, however, at an early date decided for the use of a K instead …

“Mr. J.W. Cockle derives the name Kaslo from ‘aassassaloo’ which in Kootenay Indian lan-guage (Mr. Cockle says) means a ‘raspberry patch.’ This abbre-

viated (by white men) became ‘sassloo — Caslo – Kaslo.’ Many of us have a more commonplace explanation. Within easy mem-ory, old Caslo, an Indian, was living at Bonner’s Ferry. Some few years before our time this In-dian, under the auspices of Rich-ard Fry … had spent a winter in trapping marten on Kaslo creek. I have heard his catch stated at 800, and again at 1,500 skins. He had a cabin on the present town-site, and the site of his operations continued to be known as Caslo’s creek. As to the origin of the In-dian’s name, I do not know, but I never had any doubt that a good priest (perhaps one of Spanish extraction) christened him ‘Cas-tello.’”

However, when the Geograph-ic Survey of Canada inquired about Kaslo’s name in 1905, post-master David Kane replied:

“Kaslo was named by my brother and myself in the year 1890. Previous to this time my brother and myself staked a pre-emption and a purchase com-

prising a mile square or 640 acres more or less at the mouth of the river that flows into Kootenay Lake at this point.

“The river was then and had been for many years before named ‘Kaslo’ so we named the town after the river. As to how the river got the name ‘Kaslo’ there does not seem to be any exact proof, but I do know that there is nothing in the fable of ‘where blackberries grow’ as blackber-ries do not or ever did grow here. In early days I lived alone at this point and for a whole year had nothing but Indians around and not one of them could tell me a word as to how the name origi-nated. The name is not Indian, that is certain.

“What I do know is this: for a time when I was alone here I had an old Frenchman trapper staying with me in the cabin for awhile and he told me that years before when the Hudson Bay Co. came in on this lake to get lead from the Blue Bell Mine for bul-lets, that there was a Frenchman with their party by the name of John Kaslo or Kasleau, who came up the lake to the head looking for placer gold and had named the river after his name.

“This seems to me to be rea-sonable as there is traces of old placer workings on the river. I would be inclined to think that ‘Kasleau’ is the right spelling as Lardo at the head of the lake is shortened from ‘Lardeau.’ I could never find any Indian that knew anything about that blackberry story and I know all the old time Indians.”Next: The search for Johnny Kasleau.

Kaslo’s origin and spelling always controversial

Some theories say Kaslo comes from a First Nations word to do with berries. Others say it’s after John Kaslo or Kasleau, a placer miner who worked for the Hud-son’s Bay Co.

Putting on a softball tournament is a lot of work; not only does it take a dedicated group of coordi-nators that form the core of the event but it also requires the altruistic volunteerism of community members. One cannot function without the other, and both groups of unsung heroes unselfishly donat-ed their time to take care of everything behind the scenes of the August Long tournament. A smoothly run event, with hardly a hiccup to speak of, can only be achieved by sacrificing countless hours of per-sonal time and the success of this year’s tournament is a testament to the efforts of many.

Most times the success of an event is reward in and of itself, but other times the unexpected fringe benefits sweeten the prospect of volunteerism and what goes around can, and does, occasionally come back around.

The Nakusp Slow Pitch Society was more than pleased this year to donate some remuneration to recognize the efforts of the Nakusp and Area Bike Society, who courageously stepped up to shoulder the responsibilities in the tournament’s beer gardens with serving and security.

“All in all it was a huge help,” Slow-pitch society member Ryan Struck commented after he presented a check for $750 in addition to $400 worth of recy-clables to the local bike group.

Nakusp and Area Bike Society Treasurer, Christa Rebman, is enthusiastic about the donation saying, “this money is a huge help for us because we are just getting started as a society and we are working on building up a strong membership. Having money in our account helps when we apply for funding or land tenures to show that we are serious and committed.”

Rebman added the society is having a meeting this fall with the Ministry of Forests to get approval for tenure for trails in an area surrounding Nakusp. “Once we have tenure,” Reman explained, “then we can get busy applying for money and start building trails and making Naksup into a destination for all kinds of bike riding.”
