Each of the players, coaches and organizers received a blue Leggo piece from coach Jay Gardner during the course of the 2014 girls soccer season.

The pieces alone are inconsequential, he explained, but when brought together with the other pieces the girls could shape the suc-

cess of the Cougarettes any way they wanted.

Through dedication and perseverance, the girls of the Nakusp Secondary Soccer team battled their way through a demanding spring, accumulating an 11 and 3 regular season record.

The Cougars prevailed on the tournament circuit with a second place finish in Creston, a third place showing in Osoyoos and third place finish in their home tournament.

Coaches Rhonda Palmer and Jay Gardner

helped mould the team into a veritable powerhouse of synergism and tenacity that confidently rolled south to Grand Forks to fight for a provincial berth during the Kootenay Zone playoffs.

The tournament was a sudden death format, where each game played would make or break the girls ambitions to advance to the provincial stage. Their first contest was a close

Did you know the name for the back part of your hand is the opisthenard? Not many are aware of the proper term for the back, or dorsal part of the human appendage, which essentially negates the saying “I know it like the back of my hand” and makes a liar out of most of us who have uttered that idiom.

Now that I’ve put you in a state of doubt (and you are back to reading after a quick look at your own hands) I pose the question, what do you

think you know about Nakusp?

Did you know that the cenotaph used to be located at the intersection of Broadway and (the previously named) Slocan street? Did you know that St. Mikes church was originally named St. John’s? Do you know about the sinkhole that ate the Nakusp Kal Tire?

Milton Parent was a well-known local historian who tenaciously and courageously fought to preserve Nakusp’s rich history for future generations. He personally complied and organized thousands of photographs, videos and documents in an effort to prevent Nakusp’s story from fading into the darkness of time.

After his passing, Milton’s quest for historical preservation has been continued on by the dedicated members and volunteers of the Arrow Lakes Historical Society.

In 2013 Kyle Kusch was hired by the ALHS to assist with the scanning of over 10 thousand of Parent’s photos, and charged with the task of organizing the collection into catego-

ries by assigning each picture with a database number.

During Kyle’s monumental task of sifting through the extensive collection of photos, he came across an old laptop of Parent’s in the back of the archives. On it were three slideshow presentations labeled “Our Colored Past.”

The previously unknown slideshows of over 150 pictures and several home video segments documenting Nakusp from 1940 to the 1980s were too good a find not to be shared, so the ALHS decided to showcase the collection to the community.

The ninety minute presentation commenced with an introduction by Rosemary Parent who informed the audience that “we will not

Parent also informed the gathered group that there is a third showing of “Our Colored Past” scheduled for June 27.

Kyle Kusch was then given the reigns of the presentation and acted as the guide for the journey down a clear and coloured memory lane. Kusch invited the group to participate in the experience by encouraging audience members to share information or questions as the slideshow carried on.

What ensued was an experience that

took those in attendance along a rollercoaster ride of nostalgia.

Explosions of excited chatter, as familiar images or scenes flashed across the screen, melted into humble and reverent moments of silent awe at the ability to conjure up a window into the past.

“That was my first boyfriend!” shouted out one member of the audience as a familiar face flashed onto the large flat screen T.V. being used to project the show.

Highlights included a number of pictures taken by the Spicer family, who Kusch tells us “hiked everywhere and covered a lot of wilderness” as well as short amateur film footage of water skiing on the Arrow Lakes, the last run of the Minto in 1952, and the last run of the train in 1988.

Near the end of the slideshow, a sequence showing a small group of tugboat workers feeding a black bear caused the biggest stir, as many gasps of disbelief and anxious giggles at the trusting exchange of the men and the bear on screen could be heard rippling through the audience.

Nakusp Council Meeting May 26, 2014

Ryan Willman Arrow Lakes News

Invest Kootenay.com Laurie Page, representing the Nakusp and Area Development Board (NADB) presented council with an opportunity to support the creation of a community profile on the website, InvestKootenay.

As the name suggests, InvestKootenay is a profile based web service where communities can advertise local commercial, real estate, and business opportunities. The potential profile would encourage conversation about how to advocate for local opportunities while presenting a unified front to attract investors.

Interested members of the public can access the website and view community profiles, but detailed investment opportunities are only privy to those who are registered with the website.

Invest Kootenay currently has over 900 investors registered.

According to a recent Business Retention and Expansion survey, Page noted that there is an anticipated 22 per cent business ownership change in Naksup over the next three years and “we don’t do much succession planning in this town.

In fact, some businesses are hoping to sell but they don’t know who to sell to and some business owners are thinking I’ll just shut my doors when I’m done. Which might work for them, but is not the best thing for our community.”

InvestKootenay requires a start up fee, which the NADB is prepared to pay,

but there would be an annual payment of $2500 to maintain the community profile on the web site. Page appealed to council for a commitment to partially fund the profile for five years; “anything less and I don’t think we would be giving it a chance.”

Council voted unanimously in favor of committing $1250 for five years to support the InvestKootany proposal. Page will now approach RDCK to fund an additional $1250, thereby covering the annual fee to maintain a Nakusp community profile.

Old Fire Hall The Old Fire Hall Business Society has submitted a business plan that would see the unused fire hall transformed into a community hub and business location that would serve the people of Nakusp.

The submitted plan outlines a building initiative that would seek to renovate the structure by replacing the wiring and plumbing as well as upgrade the building’s exterior. Once the building is brought up to code, the society has plans to allocate the space for a year round farmers market, a commercial kitchen, craft brewery/meadery and a space for the local Mirror Theatre to develop and host productions.

Linda Tynan, the acting Chief Administrative Officer, has been meeting with the societies president Rosemary Hughes and has reviewed the business plan.

Tynan commented that “for me, as the CAO, I am very supportive of the proj-

ect and feel that it’s very good for the community.”

She also identifies that there are still some questions that need to be answered before the project moves any further.

Tynan suggests that a Memorandum of Understanding be signed by council and issued to the sociaty, which would request clarification on how the building’s ongoing operational costs and any unforeseen capital costs would be handled by the society.

Once the MOU details have been sorted out, then the next step for the council and the society would be to sort out the legal terms of the lease and then the project can move ahead.

COA Report Tynan also shared some good news in her COA report, stating that a Gas Tax funding agreement between Canada, B.C. and the Union of B.C. Municipalities has been renewed.

The agreement is in accordance with Keeping Canada’s Economy and Jobs Growing Act and will see a ten year commitment of funding Nakusp with $113,000 for the next two years, $118,000 for eight years after.

According to the UBCM website, the funds are intended to “support the achievement of local priorities through an allocation based on population and a funding floor.”

In addition to the Gas Tax, the General Strategic Priority Fund (GSPF) will be accepting intakes for 2014. The GSPF is focused on large innovative projects

that are designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and is allocated based on an application process.

The scope has been broadened this year and will include considerations for proposals involving recreation facilities or basic local infrastructure.

Thursday, May 22 was the kick off of the Nakusp Recycling program; 9 blue plastic bags of recycling were picked up from curbside drops. Regular pick up is scheduled for every second Thursday from now on. The first pick up was intended to have a soft start and as community members become aware of the program it is hoped that the program will become viable and well used.

Blue bags can be purchased from any local merchants in Nakusp and if there are any questions the public is encouraged to visit the Village Office for more information.

Councilor Guy Duchaine asked if he could use a blue bin in place of the bags, but Tynan responded that the village has decided that blue bins will not be collected at this time.

Sufferfest Temporary Permit The organizers of Sufferfest are planning to host the third day of their annual athletic event in Nakusp and have submitted an application for temporary permit to run their bike, trail run, cyclocross and duathlon races on crown land.

Parents warned of grad party dangers Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government is sticking to education to keep grad parties safe this spring, rather than increasing penalties for “party bus” companies.

Officials are more concerned about under-aged drinking at house parties and bush parties than alcohol served in limousines and buses that have become a popular way for young people to go out on the town.

Tr ansp or t at i on Minister Todd Stone said party bus operators have been reminded that no open liquor is allowed in any vehicle, and inspections will continue with violators risking loss of their licences. Party bus operators have changed their websites and advertising to emphasize that no drinking is allowed on board.

At a graduation safety event in Victoria, RCMP and ICBC representatives stressed that there are grad-related fatalities every spring, and the problem extends to a du lt - s anc t i one d parties.

Inspector Ted Emanuels, officer in charge of the B.C. RCMP’s enhanced traffic services, said any event or transportation where alcohol is served to minors is not a safe grad.

“The misuse and

abuse of drugs and alcohol are the underlying factor in grad events where the police get involved, including physical assault, sexual assault, fights and accidental injuries,” Emanuel said.

“We know from experience that bad things happen to good kids in these environments. There are also criminal and civil liabilities that you need to be aware of.”

On average, there are four teens killed in graduation-related vehicle incidents each year in B.C., with another 1,140 injured.

Jill Blacklock, ICBC’s road safety manager, said parents need to discuss transportation plans with teens before every event they go to, giving them more than one option.

Programming taxi numbers into their phones and checking transit schedules before they go out are recommended.

After grad is over, the summer ahead is a time of parties that need the same kind of planning, Blacklock said.

Emanuels said one of the most difficult jobs in policing is knocking on somebody’s door in the middle of the night to report a fatality.

“Answering that door is worse,” he said. “Our objective is that your kids wake you up at four in the morning and not us.”

NACFOR Open House

Have you ever wondered what a community forest is? No doubt you have heard the acronym NACFOR used in and around Nakusp as they have been involved in a variety of community based projects and activities, but do you know who they are and what do they do?

Nakusp Community Forest (NACFOR) is a unique local company governed by a board of directors who, through generated funds, works within their mandate to promote community stability, ensure forest sustainability and stimulate community involvement in local forest management.

The company’s source of income is achieved through the harvest of an annual allowable cut of 20,000 cubic meters of tree species within their staked tenure.

NACFOR previously held a five year probationary license which was recently updated in 2011 by the Ministry of Forests and Natural Resource Operations to a 25-year tenure license for operating areas in Slewiskin (along MacDonald Creek) Fosthall, Galena Bay and along the Harlow, Kuskanax and Wensley Creeks.

Since 1923

Arrow Lakes News Street Address: 106 Broadway St., P.O. Box 189, Nakusp, B.C. V0G 1R0 Phone: 250-265-3841 www.arrowlakesnews.com

The structure of NACFOR is such that the Village of Nakusp is the sole shareholder and owner of the company which ensures that the generated revenue is allocated to projects that fit within the company’s directive.

NACFOR hosted their annual open house on May 28 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Selkirk Collage to showcase the programs that have been undertaken and to present the upcoming granting process planned for the fall of 2014.

Members of NACFOR Board of Directors and management group were on hand to promote the working projects in the community forest and discuss their strategic goals and objectives.

Kathy Smith, president of the board of directors, stated that this was a unique opportunity for members of the community to meet with the directors and “talk in an open format about the past, present and future plans for NACFOR.” The space at Selkirk Collage was packed full of displays describing the projects and initiatives the company is involved in. NACFOR is unique

in that the focus is on working in the interests of the only shareholder, which makes the company accountable to the feedback of the community members.

Smith showed a schematic cut plan for the Fostall area that has been redrawn several times to avoid serious impact on the mushroom population that grows in the area. This sort of cooperation with local interests is a reflection of NACFOR’s commitment to community involvement in the harvesting plans and processes.

NAKFOR is also involved in several other initiatives including the expansion of the Jackrabbit Interpretive Trail as well as the production of brochures and signage to enhance the area already frequented by outdoor enthusiasts.

NACFOR also recently hosted the workshop, “Making Positive Change in the Local Forest Economy” which focused on creating a dialogue about land issues, wood supply and regional training opportunities.

The open house on Wednesday was attended by a record number of people and provided crucial feedback to the company.

Cougarettes impressive soccer season Continued from Pg 1

1-0 victory over an intense Kaslo squad, then, the Cougars moved onto a deadlock battle with Kimberly. The contest could not be settled during regulation time and evolved into a war of attrition as each team took turns hammering away at a shootout.

The stalemate was shattered after twelve rounds of dot shots when Maddy Palmer put the ball into the back of the net and punched Nakusp’s ticket to the provincials.

The BC School Sports single A girls soccer tournament is a contest that pits 16 teams from around the province into a four playoff pool battle for the coveted banner that is awarded to the winning team.

This year’s tournament was hosted by private school West Point Grey Academy in Vancouver. Nakusp was seeded into a pool with North Island, Fort St. James and familiar private school provincial regular, Immaculata.

The girls earned their first win during their first tour-

nament game against North Island, dispatching the team from Port McNeill with a 3-0 victory. The winning performance continued with a sequential triumph against Fort St. James, as the girls dominated the match with a 4-0 showing.

Maddy Palmer netted the goal of note with a stealer header off a corner kick.

The next match up was against the provincial juggernaut, Immaculata. Rumors of this squads seasonal stomping around the Kelowna soccer circuit did not dissuade the Cougars from fighting tooth and nail for a victory that would have carried them to a chance to play in the finals.

The girls’ unified determination stupefied the Immaculata powerhouse into a goalless draw during the first half.

However, the break allowed the private school to regroup and switch up strategies that capitalized on opportunities to find the back of the net, and walked off the field defeating the Cougars 4-0.

Immaculata coach, Paul

Friere congratulated Palmer on Nakusp’s efforts, confessing, “that was the toughest first half we had this year.”

The defeat moved the opportunity to win the banner beyond the reach of Nakusp, but kept hopes alive of improving last year’s 6th place provincial showing.

The Cougars’ first playoff game was against Langley Christian and the sweet standalone goal by Kira Streliev catapulted the Cougars into a contest for 5th or 6th place.

The final game of the tournament was a rematch against old rival Kimberly, and after 70 minutes of fierce play, another stand-alone goal by Streliev earned the Cougars a fifth place, and the Nakusp squad managed to build a top public school finish out of their leggo pieces.

Palmer described the week as “extraordinary” and expressed her admiration for her squad stating “Jay and I are so proud of how the girls played and carried themselves on and off the field. They are such a cohesive group.”

May showers brings NES flowers

Nakusp Elementary School artfully engaging in the battle of eradicating monotony.

RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News

“It is so fine and yet so terrible to stand in front of a blank canvas.” So goes the famous quote by French artist Paul Cezanne and no doubt rings true for those of us who view any blank space or white wall as a neglected void screaming out for color, detail and life.

Nakusp Elementary School has a colorful history of answering the call of inspiration and taking up the paintbrush, artfully engaging in the battle of eradicating monotony.

Over the years, and under the direction of like-minded virtuosos, students have been encouraged to color the urban landscape, brushing life onto the blank walls of their school and community.

The battle has slowly been tipping in

favor of the creative; the north end of the elementary school being conquered by a vibrant mosaic of individually painted tiles depicting smiling faces, outdoor activities and abstract representations of the world of the young creative mind. A similar collection of tiles can be found at the Nakusp Hotsprings.

The latest conquest of blank canvases in Nakusp is a spring themed installation orchestrated by Nakusp’s very own professional artist, Barbara Maye.

Maye is an accomplished multi-media designer who has been exhibiting her work since 1993 in galleries as far away as Germany.

A graduate of the University of Calgary, Maye was awarded the Faculty’s Gold Medal for highest academic standing in 2007 and went on to flex her expertise in the world of teaching

at Mount Royal University and North Mount Pleasant Arts Centre. Maye eventually relocated to Nakusp, and now travels the lake basin area, bringing her experience and professionalism to a variety of art classes and projects.

Maye was approached by NES teachers Leslie Leitch and Brenda McQuair to help write an ArtStarts grant to secure the funding to be-spackle the white wall on the south west side of the elementary.

ArtStarts is a not for profit organization that promotes and organizes opportunities for professional artists to either integrate into classrooms for artistic projects or provide workshops, exhibits and performances.

The partnership is a dynamic learning experience for the students, but is also a change for teachers and artists to learn from each other. Like mixing colors, mixing pedagogy with professional art can create something wonderful and often unexpected.

The concept for the elementary wall is a “Birds eye view of spring” and Maye was originally going to invite students to paint their own cameos onto the mountainous landscape.

But art is not a static process, and the cameo idea evolved into personalized raindrops drizzling over the landscape.

“It’s like the raindrops are delivering spring” observes Maye. The vernal scene is part of a larger tetraptyc which the school plans to transform all four entrances to the elementary school into a representation of one of the four seasons.

Lurking behind the enthralling cathartic experience of painting on a public space is a lesson to be learned.

Maye used the opportunity of the mural project to teach the students of Nakusp Elementary about the artist’s essential tool, the color wheel. Each student who took up the paintbrush was introduced to the primary colors and had their hand at mixing paint.

“I want to thank the kids at NES for being so charming, courageous and eager to learn” Maye comments, “I also want to thank all of the teachers, parents and volunteers who really made the whole process much smoother.

What an experience!”

Encouraging BC Government to heed seniors concerns In light of rapid changes in society, numerous attempts have been made over the years to encourage the BC Government to heed the concerns of seniors and the service providers who work with them.

In recent times, the call has been at least partially answered

2014 NAKUSP SCOTCH BROOM BASH MONDAY, JUNE 9TH

On the Kusp

Left Picture: “Let’s Chill” Jazz dance group 3-5 yrs Right Picture: “Sail” Jazz dance group 1214 yrs

The 3rd Annual Scotch Broom Bash is a collaborative effort between the Central Kootenay Invasive Plant Committee and the Village of Nakusp to manage invasive Scotch Broom within Village limits. Although Scotch Broom may appear to be a visually striking plant in the early summer, the negative impacts far outweigh the positive. Last year, with the help of Nakusp Elementary students, a large infestation was eliminated along the walking path below the cemetery. This year we are looking for volunteers.

For more information on the program, or to volunteer to be part of the Scotch Broom Bash, please contact: Jennifer Vogel at jvogel@ckipc.ca or by phone at 250-231-2954

Dance on the Kusp puts on a moving performance Ryan Willman Arrow Lakes News

It was a hot day, and it was even hotter in the Bonnington. But some like it hot, as they say, and despite the sweltering heat, a gaggle of tiny tots and serious young adults where poised to strut their stuff for the annual year end performance by the members of the Dance on the Kusp dance troupe.

A variety of levels and styles were showcased on Saturday night under the euphoric banner, “Gotta Good Feeling.”

Accomplished performer and enthusiastic Nakuspian Cassia Parent founded Dance on the Kusp in 2013 with the primary goal of bringing a little movement and opportunity to those who dream to follow their dancing urges.

Working in partnership with the NaCoMo center, Parent offers instruction in Jazz, Musical Theatre, Hip Hop, Contemporary as well as adult programs. Parent’s students have been working hard to learn steps, techniques, and teamwork and the year-end performance is the culmina-

tion of months of practice and fun.

Marylin Massy, a zealous member of the Arrow Lakes Arts Council, was on hand to act as the MC for the evening.

“The performance is made possible by the Arrow Lakes Art Council” Massy began, “with all proceeds tonight going towards the 2014/2015 concert series bringing continued live performing art to our community.”

The evening was chalk full of leaps and bounds, but the highlights saw the showcase of some unique performances. Four solos were included on the bill to be performed

by Tasha Bjarnason, Makayla Teindl, Mikala Lewis-Morrison and Sydney Bone.

Parent celebrated the young ladies’ accomplishments by proclaiming, “with little access to performing arts like dance and athleticism, these guys have totally proven to me that in four months, you can do anything.”

The audience was also blown away by the well choreographed group dance by the 12-14 year Jazz troupe.

Massy introduced “Sail”

as a performance that “takes us on a journey where a silvery creature comes apart and moves through different patterns of pulsing and weaving.”

The fluid dance was moving and beautiful as the ladies cooperated to create a mythical creature that could only exist through the efforts of the eight performers.

The crowd favorite of the night was the dance and song duo by Kaitlyn and Makayla Teindl who brought their sisterly rivalry to life through their rendition of “Anything you can do.” The two young girls jockeyed back and forth, each trying to outdo the other in a touching and comically sweet on-stage battle of talents.

Parent took advantage of the gathered audience at the end of the dance recital to award each dancer with a certificate of recognition for their efforts. The group, in response, awarded their teacher with a heartfelt thanks, delivered by dancer Sydney Bone, who exclaimed, “if it wasn’t for Dance on the Kusp I don’t think any of us would be dancing.”

Saturday June 14th, 10am-noon

At the Edgewood Legion (234 Granby), Edgewood BC Workshop leader Gillian Sanders has helped to install more than 90 electric fences to successfully protect livestock and/or fruit trees from both black and grizzly bears. Correctly installed and maintained electric fencing provides a cost-effective and easy solution to prevent or stop bear conflicts. Beekeepers have successfully used electric fencing to protect beehives from bears since the 1930’s, and when used correctly this tool will also protect small livestock such as chickens, other poultry, goats, sheep, pigs, calves, or any other bear attractant. This workshop will discuss different e-fencing designs for permanent and temporary fences that can be adapted to your particular needs.

The Kootenay Boundary Grizzly Electric Fencing Project offers a 50% cost share on bear electric fence install or upgrade.

We have seen a recent surge in the pop culture world that seeks to re-cast familiar fairy tale characters in a new light, making way for the exploration of the “other side” of the story.

Previously held beliefs of a characters pure evil persona are now being scrutinized, fleshing out a depth that inevitably ushers in the transformation of seemingly flat antagonists into sympathetic villains.

Somewhere along the line, we got tired of blindly accepting villain’s nefarious motivations and started to ask for explanations and back stories to authenticate the source of evil. This literary analysis has shattered the world the Brothers Grimm helped create and complicates the moral lessons fairy tales seek to teach.

Once writers and other creative sorts unleashed the potential for research into the motive of evil, there, lurking behind the typical fairy tale plot lines, a vast un-

tapped mine of story ideas was unearthed.

The reinventing of fairy tales has hit its stride from the crass antics of Shrek to the Broadway success of Wicked, audiences are demanding more complexity out of their villains as the “born evil” model doesn’t fly anymore.

The latest addition to this pop culture movement comes from the brain stew of one of our very own Nakusp Secondary School students, who has taken it upon herself to take a fresh look at some classic fairy tale characters.

Celeste Gingras, grade 12 student at NSS and member of Patrick Macgibbon’s drama class, jumped at the opportunity to write a script when the students suggested that they themselves write an original drama for this year’s class production.

Two complete scripts were presented to the class after the Christmas break and students voted for their favorite. The broody comedy titled Who’s Afraid of the Dark by Gingras was chosen.

This is uncharted

Naksup Secondary School Drama club presents their year end performance

territory for drama teacher Macgibbon, who is a veteran director, but has never produced a student written play before.

He describes the experience as “great” and is impressed with the efforts he has seen.

“There is a way higher level of student buy-in.” comments Macgibbon, “It’s basically the students’ production and really I have been more of an overseer, but from

the ground up they have basically done everything.”

Out of 15 students in the class, five have dedicated themselves to the tasks of stage manager, set design, lighting design, set building and backstage manager while the other students will be appearing on stage.

The play is a mystery-comedy that is packed full of the witty humor that only a teenager could write. The dark plot focuses on the mysterious disappearances of fairy tale creatures from their fairy tale world and is interwoven with a commentary that analyzes the potential of an evil character to turn good and vise versa.

Who’s Afraid of the Dark will be presented to the Nakusp public on Thursday, June 5 and Friday, June 6, at 7:30 p.m. in the Bonnington.

In addition, don’t miss the year end performance of the Nakusp Secondary School band. This musical performance will be hosted in the NSS gym on June 4 at 7:30 p.m.
