Volunteer-built bridge unites KasloWILL JOHNSON

Nelson StarThe brand new Unity Bridge

in Kaslo is a 130-foot (39 m), 50-tonne community project that cost $201,000 and took eight years to finance.

Officially dedicated on Sun-day, it will connect the north and south sides of the Kaslo River Trail, opening up new options for hikers — they can now choose between a 3.7 or 10 km loop.

“The name Unity stands for the fact that it unifies the trails, unifies the north and south sides of Kaslo, and it shows what a small group of volun-teers can do when they have

support from people all over the world,” said society presi-dent Val Koenig.

The society was able to raise all but $15,000 of the bridge’s cost through international plaque sales. Over 70 volunteers assisted with the project, and Koenig estimates about 35 per cent of Kaslo’s adult population belongs to the society.

The timbers used for the bridge were sourced locally from Hamill Creek Timber Homes. Local contractors and companies provided free labour and support.

“This bridge is 100 per cent built by volunteers with no paid labour,” said Koenig proudly.

“Gwil Cranes of Castlegar came out with a 200-tonne crane and 141,000 pounds (64,000 kg) of counterweight to put it in.”

The society received finan-cial contributions from people in countries such as Australia, New Zealand, South Africa. The bridge was designed by Kaslo baker Silvio Lettrari.

“He designed our first bridge [installed in 2007] and we liked it so much we had him do the second one the same,” Koenig said.

One enhancement of the Unity Bridge is that it’s entirely wheelchair-accessible, dropping from a four to a two-foot (1.2 to 0.6 m) arch.

Koenig said Pennco Engi-neering was there to make sure they did everything “properly and safely.”

And though they did receive funding from Columbia Basin Trust, 90 per cent of the funds were either sourced locally or came through bridge plaque sales.

Koenig said the society will now focus on the trail-building aspect of their mandate. They plan to extend trails out towards South Fork, and ultimately cross the highway to connect to the Kaslo-Sandon wagon road.

Koenig said he’s thrilled to reach the end of the eight-year process. “It feels fantastic.”

The Kaslo Trailblazers hosted a ribbon-cutting for their Unity Bridge, eight years in the making. Here (from left), Trailblazers treasurer Ken

Butt, Kaslo councillor Kelly Knoll, Columbia Basin Trust’s Linda Lafleur, RDCK Area D director Aimee Watson, Trailblazers president Val Koenig

Sports council feels � nancial pinchLongtime executive director Kim Palfenier leaves a� er position cut

WILL JOHNSONNelson Star

The longtime ex-ecutive director of the Nelson Regional Sports Council has le� the or-ganization a� er her posi-tion was cut.

Kim Palfenier made the decision a� er the sports council took a hit operating the bowling al-ley and lost a signi� cant amount of their cash � ow due to unusually low mi-nor hockey registration.

“� e four-day a week executive director posi-tion has been replaced by a 15-hour per week part-time o� ce adminis-

tration position that will start in late September,” Palfenier, a Star colum-nist, wrote in an email to the community.

“I have been laid o� from the executive di-rector position and have chosen not to take the o� ce admin position so will no longer be employed by the sports council.

“In the meantime all KidSport application processes will be uninter-rupted and will continue as before. However, other services such as registra-tions, payments etc. and committee participation

will be subject to board approval.”

When reached by the Star, Palfenier empha-sized that there is no “ill will” stemming from the decision.

“� e council is in dis-tress, and they made the changes that needed to be made. � ey did what they had to do and I think we’re all sad about

it. � ere’s no animosity there.”

Palfenier expressed hope the situation will be temporary, but mean-while is working on get-ting her feet back “on the ground.” She said she’s not sure what the future holds but she’s still “look-ing at all the options.”

Palfenier encouraged anyone with questions to contact chair Mari Pla-mondon at [email protected].

“I cannot stress enough how sad we are to lose Kim,” said Pla-mondon. “What a great e� ort she’s put in to bring recognition throughout the whole province to Nelson and the talent we have here. We hope we

can get back that position in the near future.”

� e sports council is meeting today to discuss how to move forward with hiring.

Palfenier has held the position since 2008.

“She’s done so many wonderful things for sports in Nelson,” said Plamondon.

� e Nelson Region-al Sports Council is a non-pro� t organization founded by volunteers in 1999 to “pool ideas, provide expertise and resources, and advocate for better sports facili-ties”, according to their website.

� eir responsibilities include running the Civic Centre.

Fire in Balfour park deemed suspiciousVolunteer � re

department credits RDCK’s wild� re protection plan

Nelson Star Staff� e Balfour/Harrop volun-

teer � re department says the Regional District of Central Kootenay’s wild� re protection plan proved its worth following a 0.06 hectare forest � re in Balfour Regional Park last week.

Fire� ghters were called out at 6:49 p.m. � ursday evening to the park’s upper bench. Nine members from Balfour and three members from the North Shore � re department fought the � re

for approximately three hours before successfully extinguish-ing it.

“� e � re was burning fairly intense but spread slowly due to the removal of dead and dying trees and � ne wood debris from

the forest � oor,” Balfour/Harrop deputy chief Nora Hannon said in a media release.

“� e fuel mitigation com-pleted by the RDCK proved successful and assisted in the prevention of the � re growing

larger and possibly moving into the community.”

Hannon said there was no evidence of lightning, and some residents photographed the � re when it � rst broke out around the base of one tree.

“We did � nd a cigarette wrap-per nearby,” she said, although o� cially the cause will go down as undetermined.

As part of the RDCK wild� re protection plan, the regional dis-trict will be initiating six more fuel mitigation projects in the fall around the Blewett area and the Slocan Valley.

These projects are being funded through contributions from the Union of British Co-lumbia Municipalities and the RDCK.

Winter-Greens While our peppers, tomatoes, and other heat-loving veggies are loving this mid-day sun, the coming cold means that perhaps we should start thinking about sowing a new crop of cold-tolerant greens in order to utilize the change of seasons. According to the Farmer’s Almanac, Nelson’s shouldn’t see winter frost till October 13th, which means we have about 8 weeks le� to grow more food. So which plants should we select for growing right now? Lettuce is a great choice if it’s leafy, as there is not really enough time

to grow head-lettuces (unless you have a cold frame or greenhouse). All the Chinese greens will perform

very well and spinach is practically immune to a light frost. You won’t grow a beet-root in time, but you can certainly grow plenty of beet-greens,

and radishes will develop in a mere 20 days! Also great choices include corn salad, mescluns, and baby kales.One challenge to starting winter greens is the

intense August midday sun which threatens to scorch

your vulnerable seedlings. Keeping the soil consistently moist is

of the utmost importance during this time. Remay is a synthetic cloth that o� ers some shade

and helps to keep moisture in the soil. It also makes e� ective frost protection. Other season extenders to keep in mind include cloches and garden tunnels which are both available at Ellison’s Market. If you keep a good eye on your garden, you could have fresh picked greens at thanksgiving supper, and if you utilize cold frames, cloches, and tunnels, then you may even harvest beyond the holiday.One thing people forget about winter-greens is they still need to be fed. While they don’t require the same high-phosphorus foods that fruiting plants do, they nonetheless bene� t from compost and all-purpose blends like Gaia Green’s 4-4-4. Also, liquid kelp is bene� cial for all plants during all life stages because it enhances a plant’s natural resilience.

MS bike challenge raises almost $100,000

TAMARA HYNDNelson Star

The Scotiabank MS Bike West Kootenay Glacier Challenge may have had a different route this year but the concept remained the same: ride scenic West Kootenay roads for two days to raise funds for multiple sclerosis.

Cyclists departed Nelson at 8:30 a.m. Saturday. Their route: 88 km to Salmo and back. The fastest of the pack began arriving at Lakeside Park just before noon, but the bulk arrived after 1 p.m. Day two on Sunday saw the 93 cyclists bike 68 km on Highway 3A to Procter before returning to Nelson.

Bike tour coordinator Leona Dimock said the event’s reputation for good food and epic views con-tinues to draw riders from Nova Scotia, Alberta and Vancouver Island year after year.

Neighbours Vince Zenarosa and Jon Luckett, both first timers to the ride, were surprised to find

out they had registered separately. They decided to team up as their postal code: team 2S8 and were the first riders to finish on Day 1.

The awards dinner, provided and served up by Save-On-Foods staff at the Rotary shelter, recog-

nized the top fundraisers. Once again Dr. Jim Noiles led the pack with more than $11,693. Overall, riders raised more $97,400 with some funds still to come in.

Close to 100 volunteers and sup-porters were also involved.

Nelson police respond to multiple vehicle incidents

Someone drives through airport fence, another driver charged with hit and run

Will JoHNsoN Nelson Star

A Castlegar-bound truck was pulled over after witnesses report-ed a hit and run in the 1000 block of Front St. on Saturday morning. Nelson police located the vehicle and determined the 31-year-old driver was under the influence of prescription medication that causes drowsiness.

“He shouldn’t have been driv-ing,” Sgt. Dino Falcone told the Star. “He sideswiped a truck, clipped the mirror of a parked pick-up, and witnesses called 911.

“We received the call at about a quarter to 8 a.m., and members were able to locate the vehicle within 20 minutes. We pulled the truck over and determined the driver was impaired.”

Though the truck was heading out of their jurisdiction, police opt-ed to follow the vehicle, ultimately pulling it over close to Pacific In-sight’s factory on Highway 3A.

“Luckily we got the guy,” Fal-cone said. “Our members did a really good job, as there could’ve been a tragic ending to that file if we hadn’t stopped him.”

The driver received a 24-hour suspension as well as “hefty” fines for taking undue care and leav-ing the scene of an accident, said Falcone.

A police news release warned

community members about the dangers of prescription drugs

“Many prescription medicines and over-the-counter drugs can leave you impaired under the Criminal Code. There are of course some instances where you need to take prescribed medications,” it said. “Make sure you read the labels carefully and check with your doc-tor or pharmacist so you’re safe to drive while taking certain drugs.”

Airport fencing smashed

On Sunday another driver smashed through the fencing around the Nelson airport at ap-proximately 2:45 a.m.

“The driver appeared to have then driven around the airport, looking for a way out but came back to the section of damaged fence and exited that way,” police said in a news release.

“Police attended and ensured none of the planes were damaged. A city crew was called to secure the fence. The incident was caught on video and the Nelson Police Department is investigating.”

Rosemont assailant not criminally responsible

The man responsible for a July 8 attack in Rosemont has been

deemed not criminally responsible for his actions and is being kept long-term at a psychiatric hospital in Coquitlam.

In the incident, a woman was severely injured after the man at-tacked her with a weapon. Police were called to what they initially thought was a hit-and-run on West Innes St.

They found a 54-year-old woman visiting from Alberta un-conscious and heavily bleeding in the middle of the road. Her seven-month-old grandson was found nearby, unharmed, in a stroller.

Before emergency services ar-rived, a 48-year-old man was taken to hospital by a neighbour. The man told bystanders that both he and the woman had been struck by a vehicle. However, police de-termined the man attacked the woman.

Ward St. suspect to make court appearance

The man arrested after a six-hour standoff on Ward St. on June 3 is expected to appear in court on Tuesday to set a trial date.

A mental health and psychiatric evaluation has been completed, and the man has pled not guilty to several charges.

He threatened to jump from a fourth-storey window in the Medical Arts Building and taunt-ed police during the standoff that ended when officers stormed the apartment.

Nelson neighbours Vince Zenarosa and Jon Luckett teamed up for their first West Kootenay Glacier Challenge and were the first riders to arrive at Lakeside Park before noon Saturday. Tamara Hynd photo

Astronomy night introduces the universe

On Aug. 18, Eric Moon and I pre-sented an astronomy night at the Kokanee Creek Visitors Centre.

� e � rst hour and a half we spent at the visitors centre introducing people to the universe, including movement of the Earth, moon, plan-ets and stars (orbital mechanics), navigating the sky (constellations and guide stars), objects to look at in the telescope (what they are and how they got there) and telescope etiquette. About 50 people attended. � e audience was very engrossed and many questions from both adults and children were asked and answered. We also set up a 10-inch hand-built Dobsonian so people could see up close what we would be using for the star-gazing session.

As the sky began to darken, we set two 10-inch Dobsonians up in the playground � eld and spent time showing Saturn to everyone. � e rings were beautiful and people became very excited with their � rst view through the scopes.

As the sky got darker and Saturn disappeared behind a tree, we started looking at other objects and tried to show people at least one emission nebulae, planetary nebulae, globu-lar cluster, open cluster, double star, and galaxy. We again explained what these were and pointed out where each was in the sky. Some objects seen included M13, the Andromeda and Whirlpool galaxies, the Ring, Dumbbell, and Lagoon nebulae, Alberio, Mizar and Alcor, and the golden double in Delphinius. People were given charts of the current sky so they could identify the asterisms for themselves later. People were very involved and asked great questions; they also learned to focus the scopes and track the objects.

Joanne Siderius, the naturalist at the park, loaned us two milk cartons so the shorter children could reach the eyepieces. � anks, Joanne!

� e night was a great success and we viewed till a� er 11 p.m. when most people went back to camp.

Broader Horizons user pleased with reopening

I have been aware of Broader Ho-

rizon since 1993 when my husband and I moved to Nelson. We went to

see what it was all about and were welcomed but were both too healthy to be clients. So we joined the senior citizens for many years and took people down to Broader Horizons so they could see what was there. We even took a team of carpet bowlers down to challenge their team. We used to go for the wheels-to-meals program and had lunch with them. We knew this was a place of interest and fun times.

A� er my husband died I started to go to Broader Horizons on a regu-lar basis. I have been going now for seven years and would not be happy if it closed.

Anybody who goes to Broader Ho-rizons has a good time meeting with people of older ages. � e sta� are truly dedicated to their jobs. � e volunteers say when they are old enough they will be coming to Broader Horizons as clients. Many people in the com-munity could bene� t from having time to spend with their peers.

I am so happy that it is opening again. May this be an eye-opener for the higher ups who decide to make changes without knowing what they are destroying.

� e elders of Nelson need this program to continue so that future elders may enjoy what we seniors are

enjoying now. Keep it open.Betty McRae

Di� erent ways of looking at carbon data

Re: “Skepticism on carbon reduc-

tions well-founded,” Letters, Aug. 21In response to Maurice Rhodes,

I would � rst o� er some searchable de� nitions so that the terms of refer-ence are clear.

Environmentalist – a person who is concerned with or advocates the protection of the environment.

Environment – the surroundings

or conditions in which a person, ani-mal, or plant lives and operates.

Climate-warming panic artists – there was no searchable de� nition of this term.

Economy – can refer to the way in which goods and services are pro-duced, distributed and consumed.

Carbon emission – although 2008 data from the US Department of En-ergy Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Centre is old, their data looks at emissions per capita (met-ric tones) and placed Qatar No. 1 at 48.6, US No. 12 at 18.5, Canada No. 14 at 16.4 and China No. 55 at 5.3. Data can be used in many ways.

In this time of forest � res, Mr. Rhodes’ thesis would be to do noth-ing until those who started the � re made the � rst move. � ere are solu-tions to help in the remediation of our current climate dilemma. Re-thinking our current economic mod-el is one; but name-calling of those looking for solutions does not help to move those solutions forward.

Door-to-door postal delivery is safe and convenient, particularly for the elderly and for the mobility im-paired, and in all kinds of weather. Conversely, I understand the group boxes are not secure and are subject to vandalism, break-ins and the� .

What is the point of eliminating the employment of door to door mail carriers? � ese men and women per-form an invaluable service and there is no need for them to lose their jobs. I understand the federal government is in a de� cit situation, but surely there are many more appropriate means of � nding funds for federal co� ers. It is the federal government that needs � xing, not postal workers and door-to-door mail service.

Recently, I attended a ribbon cutting ceremony at Ward Street Place. � e construc-

tion of ten new single room occu-pancy units of a� ordable housing was being celebrated. As I listened to the words of praise for the proj-ect spoken by representatives of the federal and provincial levels of government, two things became very clear to me.

� e � rst was that the money that had been contributed by the two levels of government was not a gi� from some rich uncle but money collected in taxes from each one of us.

It was in all likelihood money collected from our community re-turning to our community. � e real thanks for the funds that made this project possible should go to each and every one of us who pays taxes.

� e second thing that became very clear to me was that there is always more to see than what meets the eye. In this case the project to move Stepping Stones out of the basement of Ward Street Place and create new a� ordable hous-ing units has taken seven years.

Many hundreds of people have contributed time, e� ort, money, skill and prayers to make this proj-ect possible. Participants in the Coldest Night of the Year walk, vol-unteer board members, corporate sponsors, the sta� of Nelson CARES and every one of us who lives in this community have made a di� erence.

Creating much-needed a� ord-able housing is a demonstration of a caring community. � is same kind of community joining happens when we experience an extreme weather event such as a windstorm or wild� re or water shortage.

It is no secret that the biggest issue we face is global warming and climate change. � ere are many things that we can do to make a di� erence and our community is working together to explore ways we can be the change. Our city has been very successful in reducing our energy consumption.

We are working to make our community more accessible for walking and biking. We are devel-oping opportunities for people to participate in a solar power project and exploring the advantages of having a central heating plant that is not dependant on fossil fuels.

We are committed to making our community safe from wild� res

and repairing our infrastructure to reduce � ooding. We are having conversations to determine the best way to support local food produc-tion. We have purchasing policies in place which direct sta� to pur-chase products locally.

Together we can make a di� er-ence. We must continue to � nd ways to burn less carbonbased fuel and provide incentives for energy e� ciency and clean energy options.

People power can make a di� er-ence: shop locally and when pos-sible buy locally-made goods and locally-grown food. Support local transportation options, walk, ride a bike, take a bus or � nd a way to car share. Everything we do makes a di� erence.

Oh, and did I mention one way you can make a big di� erence is to exercise your right to vote? Vote wisely. We need to elect people will-ing to make decisions that support our environment.

We must insist that clean air, clean water, and a sustainable bal-anced relationship with the earth is more important than pro� ts or short-term luxuries. Most of us know this is true and want to shi� to a more harmonious relationship with each other and our environ-ment. Armed with positive inten-tion each one of us has the potential to make conscious positive deci-sions which can lead to a more balanced and sustainable future.

I came across an amazing old photo the other day: it shows the hotel at Porto Rico Siding.

What’s that? You didn’t know Porto Rico had a hotel? Or that Porto Rico existed? Well, here’s proof.

I’m indebted to Peter Smith of Victoria for pointing out that the University of BC digital collections site now has several albums con-taining rare West Kootenay photos. One is entitled A Visit to British Columbia 1898, and according to the description, it’s of “a trip to British Columbia (plus Spokane), by a man identified only as F.M.L., accompanied by at least two others (McMillan and English). The im-ages depict a number of cities as well as landscapes and some min-ing and manufacturing facilities.”

The photos include shots of, among other places, Rossland, Nelson, Ymir — and Porto Rico, a siding on the Nelson and Fort Sheppard Railway, where Barrett Creek empties into the Salmo Riv-er, north of Ymir. It was named for the Porto Rico mine, staked in 1896. (Porto Rico was a common alternate spelling of Puerto Rico at the time.)

I’ve never seen an early photo of the place at all, much less of its combination hotel and general store, which was certainly rustic, tucked in the woods among felled trees and stumps. It had a plank-way to its front door. Although newly built, it looks like a moderate breeze would have knocked it over.

The album actually includes two photos of the hotel, one that shows the whole building (pictured above) and the other a close-up of the veranda (available at nelsonstar.com), where three men sit in chairs with newspapers on their laps and another stands with his arms fold-ed. Next to him is a woman and two girls in matching dresses. I’m guessing it’s the proprietor, his wife, and daughters.

A hand-painted sign reads “General merchantdise” [sic] while an obscured part probably says “Miners supplies.”

The hotel was first mentioned in the Quartz Creek Miner of Sept. 2, 1897 under the “Salmo items” column: “Mr. H. Noll, late of the Grand hotel, has decided to open a hotel at Porto Rico Siding.” The same issue carried a liquor license application at Porto Rico by a

George Day dated Aug. 25. The civic directory for Salmo

that year showed Hank Noll and F.P. Martin ran the Grand together and Day also worked there, so pre-sumably he and Noll were partners at Porto Rico. Noll was also co-proprietor with James McDermaid of Salmo’s Yellowstone hotel, which opened in 1899, named after an-other local mine.

The Porto Rico hotel made the news after a miner named John Waddell stayed there in 1900 and was subsequently killed in an ac-cident on the Hall Mines tramway. To help establish his identity, police relied on a poker chip bearing the inscription “J. Waddell, Porto R,” which apparently came from the hotel.

Like many in those days, Noll dabbled in mining. His claims included the Spotted Horse on Round Mountain, and his tunnel-ling and digging efforts appeared to pay off when he discovered a rich strike that assayed as much as $10,000 in gold per ton. Noll sold his interest — a smart move since further assays fell well short of expectations — and turned his attention further north.

According to the Nelson Tribune of May 24, 1900: “Hank Noll, the Porto Reco hotelkeeper, is leaving shortly for Cape Nome and is dis-posing of his business interests in this district.” (The Alaska town was then in the midst of a gold rush.)

Whether Noll actually made it there is unknown. We do know he was in business in Northport, Wash. in 1901 — a trade token survives that reads “Hank Noll/Saloon/Northport” and “Good for 12½¢ drink” and on the reverse. (Thanks to Ed Mannings of Nelson

for pointing this out.) In any case, Hank turned the

Porto Rico hotel over to his brother. When a liquor license renewal ap-plication was filed that December, it was in the name of Lewis (or Lou-is) Noll and Wesley E. Cox. Their partnership dissolved in March 1901, with Lewis continuing on the business. On the 1901 census, we find Louis Noll, 35, listed at Porto Rico as a single American-born hotelkeeper. He had one employee, a housekeeper named Janet War-ren, and six guests.

The liquor license was renewed through 1903 and the hotel re-mained listed in the civic direc-tory through 1905. (Actually, it was listed in 1910 as well, but that’s probably a mistake.)

I don’t know what happened to Louis Noll, but Hank moved to Yakima where he ran the Bartholet Hotel and was a fruit farmer. He died in 1932, age 73.

Porto Rico lived on thanks to lumbering. A sawmill opened in 1900 which became the Porto Rico Lumber Co., with branches in Nelson, Ymir, Moyie, and Moose Jaw. The community was also home to the Salmon Valley Lumber and Pole Co., a partnership between Spokane’s John Orr and Doukho-bor leader Peter (Lordly) Verigin. The Porto Rico post office operated from 1918-26.

In 1929, Porto Rico became a Sons of Freedom internment camp, which you can read about at douk-hobor.org/Porto-Rico.html.

The railway abandoned the sid-ing in the 1930s, but the name is perpetuated in Porto Rico Rd. and Ymir-Porto Rico Rd.

Where exactly the hotel stood, I haven’t a clue.

Slocan Valley abattoir trying to find a buyer

BILL METCALFENelson Star

A Slocan Valley abattoir is for sale and a local agricultural consultant says it’s important that

it find a buyer.Abra Brynne says Passmore

Pluckers is vital to the food secu-rity of the West Kootenay because it is the region’s only large-scale licensed meat processing facility.

“To lose Passmore Pluck-ers would be devastating for anyone producing poultry for market,” she says. “They would just have to shut down.”

The company’s owners, Judi Morton and Alex Ber-land, are retiring and they’ve listed the provincially li-censed business for local sale at $80,000. Last year they processed 11 tons of meat valued at $120,000 for 76 customers, some of which are larger producers, but mostly small farmers growing birds for their own families, friends, and neighbours.

Keeping the knowledge local

According to provincial govern-ment regulations, West Kootenay farmers may sell poultry to their neighbours, or to a retail store, if they have it processed in a licenced abattoir. Passmore Pluckers is the only one in the West Kootenay. Further afield, the nearest ones are in Creston and Grand Forks.

To Morton and Berland, it is more than just a business, and they hope potential buyers feel the same way.

“We want this knowledge sus-tained in the area,” says Berland.

He says local knowledge of how to raise and process meat contrib-utes to local economic resilience,

meaning that West Kootenay resi-dents don’t have to rely on outside sources for meat.

He explains that along with the operation and the licence comes their three-inch-thick manual of operating procedures that covers everything from evisceration, de-feathering, sanitation, and dealing with waste, to water quality, pack-aging, labeling, and pest control.

Humane and respectful treatment

“The people working in small scale abattoirs like Passmore Pluck-ers are very different from in a large one,” says Brynne, “where you have someone who is doing one little cut, one small activity all day. They don’t know how to handle an animal humanely and respectfully from a corral through the kill floor and into the cooler and into a bag. That is an advanced skill. Some see it as a craft, as a trade, just like an electrician or a plumber, but there are few training opportunities Canada.”

Passmore Pluckers is certified organic. If a farmer grows organic birds and wants to sell them as such, those birds have to be pro-cessed organically.

“We are a certified organic processing plant and this is not common across the province,” says Berland. “It is about the chemicals being used in the plants, and the cleansers, so you are not exposing the birds to toxic chemicals.”

Demand exceeds supply

Brynne says demand in West Kootenay for locally grown meat, organic or not, far outstrips the supply, but starting a local abattoir is a challenge because of the mo-nopoly control of meat processing across North America by a handful of big companies.

“It is vital for an abattoir to have a low debt load in order to function,” she says, “because from the processor down to the livestock operator, the meat industry is operating on razor-thin profit margins so if a small abattoir is to cover the true cost of pro-duction it makes the meat prohibitively expensive.

“People don’t appreci-ate how incredibly labour-

intensive it is to break down a chicken carcass,” she says.

“Breaking it down into those thighs and wings and legs that ev-erybody loves is really finicky work, it takes a lot of time, it adds a lot of wage costs. But that is the way people want to eat their chicken. They don’t want to buy a whole chicken.”

Local economic benefits

Berland says Passmore Pluck-ers and its customers have direct and indirect benefits to the local economy in addition to helping out farm supply and feed stores.

“We hire a half dozen people on kill days [two days each week],” he says. “And for our customers, raising and selling poultry fits in with people’s lives. You can have a job and raise birds too. It is a highly valued product that you can manage on these rocky farms we have here. And it adds fertility to the soil.”

‘They look at the guts’

In 2004 the provincial govern-ment banned the sale of meat by farmers to their neighbours (“farm gate sales”) without first processing it through a licensed abattoir.

The province wanted to har-monize its meat processing regu-lations with other provinces and the federal government, but the change had unexpected results: a reduction in the number of slaugh-tering services in BC from 300 to about 13, according to Brynne.

The government responded by making some money available to help with abattoir start-up, but that subsidy has since been discontin-ued. Currently, Brynne estimates, there are about 50 licensed abat-toirs in the province.

The change moved responsi-bility from the federal food in-spection agency to the provin-cial ministry of agriculture, and Brynne says that was a good idea because government oversight is now both more rigorous and more respectful.

“It is a night-and-day difference. It has gone from command-and-control to something that is more collaborative. I applaud the gov-ernment for the inspection model they came up with.”

Berland agrees. He says the provincial government has also been supportive with funding for equipment upgrades. And when-ever they are slaughtering birds, a

provincial inspector is there.“We are not allowed to oper-

ate if there is no inspector. They are present, they look at the guts because that is where you see evi-dence of disease. They look at the heart liver and lungs. At the big processor plants, they don’t have time to look at every bird.”

In 2007, a local group that in-cluding Brynne attempted to start a co-op abattoir but could not find a piece of land without a not-in-my-backyard backlash from neigh-bours, even though proponents assured people modern abattoirs do not smell or produce visible waste.

“The NIMBY approach can-not work if we are going to have resilient local food systems,” says

Brynne. “We need to find places to have these operations. The small-scale abattoirs really do see them-selves as a vital link in our regional meat value chain. Without slaugh-terhouses, the link is broken.”

Brynne thinks vegetarians need to think about this too.

“Whether people eat meat or not, having animals on the ground is vital because we need the most resilient ecosystems and food sys-tems possible as we head into ever increasing climate chaos as well as all the other chaos happening globally.

“The long supply chains we are accustomed to in our food systems are becoming so very vulnerable and the situation in California and all the forest fires around us under-line this. Protein is essential for all of us and not all of us can source it all from plants.”

Nelson Star StaffThe Ministry of Environment

and Interior Health have expand-ed a smoky skies advisory issued Thursday to include the entire Kootenay/Boundary due to for-est fire smoke.

“Southerly winds have contin-ued to spread further north heavy plumes of smoke from the large wildfires burning in Washington

state, resulting in high concentra-tions of fine particulates and poor air quality,” a statement reads.

“While this episode is expected to persist until a major shift in wind patterns and weather con-ditions, smoke concentrations will vary widely as winds, fire behav-iour and temperatures change.”

The advisory urges avoiding strenuous outdoor activities.

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, contact your doctor: difficulty in breath-ing, chest pain or discomfort, and sudden onset of cough or irritation of airways. Exposure is particularly a concern for in-fants, the elderly and those who have underlying medical condi-tions such as diabetes, and lung or heart disease.

Looney Tunes brings music and laughter

Bill MetcalfeNelson Star

“Be sure to tell people it is adult humour,” says Sarah Jane Hicks during an interview

with the Star about Looney Tunes, a cabaret night that will cap off the Nel-son Summer Theatre festival starting Thursday night. “It’s not a family com-edy night.”

Interesting, considering that it wasn’t long ago that the three main perform-ers in Looney Tunes — Hicks, Gabriel Macdonald, and Elizabeth Barrett — were children themselves.

All three just-under-20-year-olds have been performing busily on various stages in Nelson as singers and actors for years. And they are close friends.

Hicks says they will be bringing in surprise guests each night, “people with illustrious careers in music and theatre.”

“Some of them are invisible,” Mac-donald adds.

Each member of the trio speaks highly of the others.

Hicks on Barrett: “Hysterically fun-ny. Great comedic timing. She has a way of pulling anything off. She can make anything funny even if it’s not. She has great conviction. She is light-hearted and kind.”

Macdonald on Barrett: “She doesn’t

give herself enough credit for her sing-ing. She is an amazing actor and I look up to her a lot.”

Hicks on Macdonald: “He brings gusto to everything, and does every-thing all-out and larger than life. His comedy is a caricature of himself.”

The evening will consist of a vari-ety of songs and skits, done in various combinations of the three friends, some serious and some not, with Darren Fuss on piano.

“We are going to do a variety of musi-cal theatre songs,” says Hicks, “mostly comedy, some solos, some duets, some group numbers, plus comedy skits and monologues. We are going to have a couple of David Ives skits. Elizabeth will do some monologues. We’ll have some pieces from Kooman and Di-mond, something from Les Miserables, then we have Gabe doing ballads from Phantom of the Opera.”

Macdonald and Hicks have just come off of a successful six nights performing together in Saltwater Moon, also a part of the theatre festival.

Looney Tunes runs Thursday as a $10 preview performance, then Fri-day and Saturday at 8:30 p.m. at the TNT Playhouse at the corner of Ward and Carbonate. Tickets are available at Booksmyth, 338 Baker St.

Fat Tire Festival ‘smoothest to date’

WILL JOHNSONNelson Star

Organizers of this year’s 20th annual Fat Tire Festival are thrilled with the success of the four-day event, which included multiple races atop Morn-ing Mountain in Blewett, calling it the “smoothest to date.”

“I’ve been organizing this festival for � ve years, and I’ve never had so much fun,” said Jessica DeMars.

Especially popular this year were the jump jam and pump track races on � ursday night, which DeMars said “everyone was stoked about.” � ere was a well-attended parade Friday and races for mountain bikers of all age groups over the course of the weekend (see results at le� ).

“� e highlight for me was Sunday, which went o� without a hitch. I had a smile on my face all the way through it,” said DeMars.

“We couldn’t have pulled this o� without our volunteers, and we had lots of people stepping up last minute to help. � ey noticed we were scrambling and just stepped in.”

DeMars said they hosted groups from all over the continent, including some from Maine. Ninety-six kids were involved in the children’s events and over 70 participants took part in both their downhill and cross-country races.

“Last year ended up being crazy be-cause we were so busy, but this year it seemed like we had the perfect num-ber,” said DeMars.

Enthusiastic toddlers raced during the 20th annual Nelson Fat Tire Festival’s Bike Fest at Morning Mountain in Blewett on Sunday.

Nora VoykinJan 12, 1940

Nora was born in Brilliant B.C. on Jan 12th 1940, to Helen and Alec Chernoff. She spent her younger days growing up in Ootishenia and later moving to Robson. She worked in Nelson

at Safeway as a meat wrapper for several years. After having her daughter Della, she met and married John Voykin on Oct. 12th 1965 and settled in Ymir. From this marriage she gained a stepson and step daughter. Later she gave birth to a son Jason, who sadly passed at a very young age. Later they had a daughter Myra.

After living in Ymir for many years, Nora and John later moved to Salmo where they lived for quite some time. Nora had many friends in Ymir and Salmo. She loved playing cards, visiting with friends and family, building puzzles, and mostly spending time with her grandchildren. She was loved very much and will be sadly missed. Nora was predeceased by her birthmother Helen, step mother Martha, father Alec Chernoff, infant son Jason, sister Helen Kinakin, sister Mary Popoff and very recently her husband John Voykin.

She is survived by her children Walter and Patty Voykin; Marcia and Mike Sofonoff; Della and Gordon Swetlishoff; and Myra Scott, as well as her 12 grand children, 10 great grand children and many nieces and nephews.

We would like to give special thanks to the great staff at the Kelowna Hospice House for their special care, love and support.

August 11 marked a significant milestone for Africa in its effort to eradi-cate polio from the conti-nent. A full year has passed since Africa’s last reported case caused by the wild poliovirus. This is the sec-ond month to cautiously celebrate polio eradication in Africa; in July there was celebration when Nigeria achieved no new polio vic-tims in the past year

Somalia was the last country to identify a new case, which occurred on Aug. 11, 2014. While Af-rica has achieved an im-portant public health mile-stone, the job is not yet finished. To end polio for-ever, all countries — both endemic and non-endemic — must strengthen routine immunization, address gaps in disease surveil-lance and do more to reach children who are still be-ing missed by vaccinators.

“We cannot wind down our efforts now. We need to continue immunizing until the last country is certified polio-free, and thereafter,” says Dr. Tunji Funsho, chair of Rotary’s

Nigeria PolioPlus Com-mittee. “As long as the vi-rus remains anywhere in the world, it is only a plane ride away.”

“Rotary members have many opportunities to make a difference, includ-ing being part of history as we seek a polio-free world,” McGovern says. “Members have led the way in fund-raising and lining up vol-unteer support for polio eradication.”

During the next four years, the Government of Canada will contribute two dollars for every dol-lar raised by Rotary Foun-dation Canada in support

of the Global Polio Eradi-cation Initiative’s Endgame Strategy, to a maximum contribution of $12 mil-lion. The funds will be provided to UNICEF to support the goal of eradi-cating polio worldwide by 2018.

Through 2018, the Bill & Melinda Gates Founda-tion is matching 2-to-1 every dollar that Rotary commits for polio, up to $35 million a year. Local Rotarians are thrilled with this multiplier effect for every dollar that they raise to contribute to the Polio Fund of The Rotary Foun-dation Canada.

Introducing Lucreza

Hi my name is Lucreza Picciacacci, my friends call me Lucri. I am 17 years old and I am from Sardinia. My Rotary District is 2080 from Italy. I was born in Rome, the capital city of Italy and I lived in Capena, a small city near Rome for two years. When I was two years old my parents moved to Guspini, Sardinia, my mothers’ home town. Guspini, is a little town on the southwest side of Sardinia. Not far from Guspini, there are a lot of beautiful beaches. In fact the pristine beaches and crystalline water are the real Sardinian jewels and attract tourists from all over the world.

� ere are three people in my family, my mother Gina, father Benedetto, who are both psychologists. We also have an eight year old Cocker Spaniel whose name is Lulu.

During the year at school, I participated in a journalistic writing course. � e main subjects of my school are Latin, ancient Greek Philosophy, Greek and Art History. Some of the hobbies I enjoy are art, reading books, photography, sports and shopping. I practiced rhythmic gymnastics for seven years. In my home town I am a member of a scout group.

I am looking forward to meeting my host brothers and sister. � ank you for hosting me in your beautiful city, Nelson.

What is WaCanId? The WaCanId is an annual six day bicycle tour taking cyclists on 560 kilometers of the famous International Selkirk Loop through the Selkirk Mountains of Washington, Can-ada and Idaho — hence the name Wa-CanId.

The ride is supported by Rotary Clubs of the Selkirk Loop including Nelson Daybreak, Bonners Ferry, Sand-point, Ponderay Newport-Priest River and Castlegar Sunrise.

The ride was originally designed to support the businesses of the Interna-tional Selkirk Loop during the shoulder season. It is now a fully supported ride that attracts riders from throughout North America. To date, 85 riders have registered for the 2015 ride that operates from September 14-19.

At the special request of previous WaCanId riders, a “stay-a-day in Nel-son” was added to the itinerary. Nelson Daybreak members will join the riders at

a special Meet and Greet on Wednesday Sept. 16 at the Adventure Hotel. They will make riders welcome as they explore historic Nelson, dine at Nelson’s amaz-ing restaurants, hike to Pulpit Rock, soak in the hot springs and shop in Nelson’s eclectic variety of stores.
