The lovely little com-
munity of Renata is no more.

It was bought out complet-
ely by B.C. Hydro for the
Columbia Treaty development
and was inundated by the
waters of the Arrow Lakes as
they crept up the river banks
following completion of Keen-
leyside Dam.

The following history of.
Renata was written by Mrs, P.
Warkentin, then a resident of
Renata, for the 1958 C !

who followed the mining boom,
turned their sights on the area.
They settled and built a
hotel out of natural cedar logs
for prospectors and trappers,
The real development of
Dog Creek was left to a man
named Fred Nash, who came
from Niagara in 1897 by the
way of the United States, rode
into Grand Forks from Oregon
on horseback and followed Dog
Creek until he came to the

edition of the Castlegar News.
It is reprinted here as it
appeared « at that time.”

By Mi. pt ‘Warkentin

To people here, Renata is
“the greatest little place on the
Arrow Lakes.”

Renatans aren't alone in
this opinion. People in other
Kootenay towns who have been
to Renata rave about the
hamlet—its idyllic tocation, its
king-size peaches, its temper-
ate climate, its friendly folk and
the recreational opportunities
it offers on lazy summer days,

The majority of residents
in Kootenay didn’

Entranced by the beauty of
the place, Nash promptly
determined to spend the rest of
his days here. He bought 160
acres from Sandy Gaston and
set to work clearing land for the
first orchard,

He planted his first tree in
1898, Within four years he had
planted 15 acres, with the stout
assistance of his horse, Jack.
Nash had his own flume system
and prior water rights in the
early days,

In 1908 Carles Shannon,
who had been living across the
lake at Deer Park, rowed over
10 Dog Creck to become its first

know Renata until the road was
built to Deer Park and the daily
ferry service started. Some,
however, had been on the S.S,
Minto when the veteran stern-
wheeler paddled into Renata on
its bi-weekly calls.

People know it's a little
settlement on the Lower Arrow
Lakes’ west shore, and that.
you go a long way before
coming to the next community
on that side, Edgewood.

Even on “how-do-you-do
and goodbye" visits, people will
tell you that the way Renata
juts out into the blue water
with its sandy beach in the
foreground and its backdrop of
orchards makes it a pretty
settlement,

The mountains rising
above it, Sandy, Middle Mount-
ain, Bulldog and Bluebird, have
acted as guardians of Renata,
mostly through inaccessibility

Renata, like a few other
Arrow Lakes communities, has
stayed to itself. Whether it will
remain that way, with indus-

trial development seen-for the «

Arrow Lakes as a result of, the
arrival of Celgar at ‘Castlegar,
is a topic of speculation.

Dog Creek it.used to be
called, from the creek: which
runs through Renata. Accoring
to the historians, it came into
being in 1895° when three
Frenchmen, Sandy Gaston,
Jean Baptiste and Joe Burnett

and P
About the same time Jack
Hitehin, who had been em-
ployed on construction of the
Kettle Valley rail line, came to
live in Dog Creek.

“Sandy,” after whom the
mountain was named, was
caught in a bear trap in 1905.
With lack of medical facilities
and transportation problems,
gangrene set in and he died not
long after reaching the Ross-
land hospital.

All the land available in
Dog Creek was bought in 1907
by Frank F.° Siemens of
Manitoba, agent for the Mani-
toba Western Land Co. It was
subdivided into blocks and
advertised for sale as a
fruit-growing proposition.

Before other families mov-
ed’ in, however, Fred Nash
brought his brother Ben Nash
and family, also from Niagara-
on-the-Lake, to settle in Dog

Creek. The first frame house
was built for them in 1908, The
same year Mr. Siemens
brought his family out and a
three-storey house was built for
them,

Residents got thinking
about the name of their
community and decided the
name Dog Creek was-none too
attractive,

A contest was sponsored
by the Western Land Co, and
the winning entry came from a
Mr. Hanson of Altona, Man.,
who appropriately suggested
Renata, meaning rebirth, Han-
son gota free tripto B.C, for his
brain-wave,

Inthe same year, 1909, ‘the
first white child was born in
Renata and was named after
the community at the request
of Mr. Nash and Mr, Shannon,

She is Miss Renata Sie-
mens, missionary in Kenya
Colony, British East Africa, and
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank F. Siemens, now in
Winnipeg.

After having settled 20
families, Mr. Siemens left
Renata in 1912, When he

-tetired from his business in

Winnipeg in 1945 he returned
to the site of his activities as a
young man and bought back his
old orchard which had fallen
into a state of neglect,
replanted five acres, and now at
81 is back in Winnipeg.

The first school was a log
house built in 1909. The first
teacher was Miss Elinor: Red-
head, a cousin of the Nash
family; the first school trustee,
Mr. Siemens. The pupils num-
bered 14.

When the log school
burned down in 1912, a new
school was built by volunteer
labor and desks were supplied
free,

A sawmill was built in 1911
and although it burned down, it
was rebuilt and operated for
many years. It was sold and
broken down around 1935.

An Account of Life in Renata Reflects What has Been Lost

-pipes were made by the late
Peter Harms,

In the early days the
people lived principally from
the income from vegetables and
amaller fruits such as rasp-
berries and strawberries, Ship-
ping facilities were good then,
the boats Rossland and Bon-
nington running daily on the
lakes,

At wasn't until the late 20's
that transportation became a
drawback, The fruit in those
days was shipped privately.

With construction of the
first wharf in 1914 and the
harvesting of fruits such as
Pears, apples, peaches and
cherries, packing classes were
held and fruit was shipped
through the Associated Grow-
ers of B.C.

The growers did their own
packing and in 1928 the
Co-operative Union was organ-.
ized with Jacob Reimer as
president, Five years later the
first fruit was marketed
through the co-op and 1,600
crates of cherries were shipped.

In 1951, 7,200 crates of top
quality cherries went to outside
markets from Renata, plus

5,000 crates of luscious peaches ,

and 1,000 boxes of pears. No
small amounts for a.small place.
In its biggest apple year,

Renata shipped 12,800 boxes of ~*

apples,

ww” A’ pipe factory was in

operation during the depres-
sion years and pipes were made
to improve the irrigation
system through efforts of the
untiring Mr. Reimer. Now
Renata enjoys an abundance of
water both for

purposes and household use.

Good irrigation has com-
bined with favorable climate
and soil conditions to make fruit-
orchard Renatans the main
moneymakers. Renata fruit has
come to claim a top spot in
Kootenay products of the soil.

In addition to a feed shop
and coop, Renata boasts a
general store with stock rang-
ing from bread to long
underwear, gas for boats,
tractors and lamps.

Except for a trail leading
to Tunnel station on the ‘CPR's

“Kettle Valley line, the. valley
has been unlil recently access- _

ible only by water. In cherry
time a special boat comes in to
take out the fruit.

Mining was never carried
out extensively in Renata. The
Mountain Chief operated about
1917 with the gold and ore
being hauled dawn a mountain
road by horses and wagons toa
barge, for a less primitive trip
to the Trail smelter.

For a place to spend a few
weeks in the summer for
holidays and rest, Renata can't
be beat in the Kootenays,

There are things to pul up
with which residents contend
with all year round, such asa
lack of electricity. But they are
more than campensated for by
Renala’s excellent’ swimming,
boating, fishing (lake or creek)
and. hiking.
