New principal announced at Lucerne Teachers Association for the two years prior, and over 13 years as a dedicated and committed teacher at Nakusp Secondary School,” said Terry Taylor, SD #10 Superitendent.

Suhr has a Master’s degree in Environmental Education and Communication, and is well-known for her commitment to students and passion for learning, added Taylor.

“Nicol is dedicated to working alongside the students, staff and community in her new role at Lucerne.”

Nakusp prepares to talk the talk and art the walk Like mixing primary colors to create new and exciting combinations, Debra Rushfelt and Betty Fahlman collocated the beloved Saturday Art Tour and The Arrow Lakes Fine Art Guild (ALFA Guild) to fashion this years Art Walk project in Nakusp.

An art walk is a self-guided tour of local venues where artist’s creations are displayed for the viewing pleasure of the public. The art pieces are also listed for sale for those coinsures who discover something they like and are interested in supporting local artists.

Rushfelt and Fahlman are producing a brochure guide that will include a map of the venue locations as well as artist information. The summer based event will involve a preview exhibition of each artist’s work for two weeks

leading up to the grand opening gala on Friday June 27 at Selkirk Collegewhere the ALFA Art Walk brochure will be publicized.

“We are using the whole town as a gallery”, Rushfelt explains, citing that the 18 venues of restaurants and community buildings match the number of venues showcased during Nelson’s art walk.

Rushfelt and Fahlman are respectively the president and vice president of the ALFA Guild and have taken on curatorial responsibilities the ALFA Art Walk project. As curators the two have coordinated with the local venues to match artist’s work with existing spaces and atmospheres.

This year’s art walk project will include the added feature of an artist in

residence hosted by Selkirk College.

For the duration of the Art Walk, artists Boukje Elzinga and Clark Dennill will each in turn occupy a space in the college which will be open to the public for one or two days a week. This college exhibition is an opportunity for the two artists in residence to promote themselves with demonstrations, lessons or the maintenance of a public access studio.

Rushfelt expressed excitement for the art walk project and explains, “we wanted to show the world Nakusp has an art community and to show support for local artists” The ALFA Art Walk will run through July and August and will feature paintings, photography and sculpture installations.

Fred Desrochers The family of Fred Desrochers would like to announce his passing on June 13, 2014. Fred had 85 wonderful years in the Arrow Lakes Valley. He was predeceased by his wife of 52 years, Frances Desrochers in 2011.

Fred leaves behind his six children; David (Leslie), Joe (Judy), Leslie (Cameron), Denise (John), Pierre (Bobbie) and Sue (Dan). He also leaves 14 loving grandchildren.

Editorial Our View

We need to do our part Social media has been inundated lately with stories of close encounters with wildlife.

From black bears entering homes to cougar sightings, nature seems to be intruding into our lives. Possibly in retaliation for us intruding into theirs.

These recent incidents have raised the same old questions, and in some cases, accusations. In Nelson, only a few minutes after a story was posted of a bear being “dispatched” by conservation officers, social media began to buzz asking why the animal had to be killed.

When wild animals are destroyed, it’s because they pose a danger to humans. It’s not out of malice, or enjoyment or for food. It’s a matter of necessity.

The bear in question had already gone inside a house and was seen scavenging from home-to-home along the neighbourhood. Drugging it, capturing it and then relocating the bear would not have solved the issue.

Every year the warnings go up about keeping bird feeders clean and making sure garbage containers are covered, yet raccoons, bears and other wildlife regularly feed out of them.

We need to do our part to keep wildlife away from temptation.

David Black speaks to refinery proposal in doctorate speech

Editor’s note: This is the speech from David Black at his recent Doctorate presention from UVic. We felt it was relevant because of this discussion regarding pipelines and a refinery in Northern B.C.

Today is a great day for me. The doctorate is a wonderful honour from a University I have watched grow and flourish into a world-ranked institution. It is also embarrassing because I don’t feel my work is completed yet. Nevertheless, I would like to pass on to the graduating class some lessons I have learned thus far in my career in the hopes they may be of some use.

My story is not complex. I received an Engineering degree from UBC and an MBA from Ivey in London. In 1975 I started my own business by buying a small weekly newspaper in Williams Lake. Over the years with the help of a terrific wife, a father who mentored me, and the hard work of a great many employees, we have grown to 200 publications with revenues of half a billion dollars.

I had no plan in 1975 to grow the business like this. My only thought was to publish the best paper I could. I worked long hours because we were in debt and we had a growing family. Over time I came to be an expert in every phase of the business. Because of that I fell in love with publishing.

My first career lesson for you then, is just show up. If you are like I was at your age you have no idea what career will appeal to you. You don’t have to know. Just dive into something. Work hard. The more skill you develop the more you will enjoy the work. You will know when or if it is time to move on to something else.

I mentioned my wife and father and what a help they were to me. My second piece of advice is to surround yourself with bright people, both as workmates and friends. Listen to them and help them in return.

With my four children on our companies’ Boards of Directors and an excellent management team in place I thought, now that I am over 65, I would be easing back somewhat, enjoying more sailing, and babysitting grandchildren. My only real career regret was that I hadn’t had a chance to practice any engineering.

It’s funny how life unfolds. Instead, over the last two years I have embarked on one of the biggest engineering projects in Canada’s history and I am working harder than ever. When not working on Black Press I am consumed by trying to build a BC oil refinery, pipeline and tanker fleet at a total cost of $32 billion.

So my third career message for you is that you cannot know your future. By all means plan. But don’t assume things will go as expected.

I will tell you a little about the refin-

ery project because it leads to my final and most important piece of advice. The project is called Kitimat Clean. The refinery will convert Alberta’s bitumen to gasoline and diesel, products which float and evaporate if there is a spill at sea.

Bitumen acts differently. If it is spilled off our coast it will sink and we won’t be able to recover it. It will also blanket the intertidal zone and we won’t be able to remove it. The damage could last for hundreds of years. I got into this project to help ensure this doesn’t happen.

A world-scale refinery has other great advantages for us all: it will create 10,000 new permanent jobs in BC and it will generate billions of dollars of new taxes annually for government coffers.

My children and I are concerned about the environment like most of you are, so we decided to spend an extra $3 billion to build the refinery with new Canadian technology, cutting CO2 emissions by 5 million tonnes per year. This is equivalent to avoiding the annual emissions of 1.2 million cars. The refinery will be so clean it will more than compensate for the extra CO2 emissions in the oilsands.

Clearly we need to ratchet down our use of fossil fuels. But that does not influence whether to build a refinery in Canada. Asia needs more refined fuel every year. If we don’t build the refinery in Canada it will be built in Asia. By shipping our bitumen to Asia for refin-

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

ing, we not only put the ocean at risk and lose the enormous value-add benefits, the planet will end up with twice the CO2 emissions.

Unfortunately for a variety of reasons our big oil companies are not interested in a new Canadian refinery. The president of one of our largest oil companies told me that he agrees it is viable to refine bitumen in Canada, and that it is nation building at its best, but that no oil company in Alberta will do it. In fact some oppose it.

So it came down to this. If I thought it important enough, I would have to spearhead it. That is what I am doing.

I hope by setting high standards we can show the way forward for responsible management of Canada’s bitumen from an economic and an environmental point of view.

My final message to you today is simple. When your big challenge or opportunity arises, do the same. Do it better.

When you know something is wrong, step up. Take a risk. Challenge tradition and fight vested interests. Use your education, experience and networks in a positive way to benefit yourself and your family of course, but whenever you can, always try to improve the the world around you as well. The satisfaction that gives you will fulfill you.

Go to it graduates and best wishes for the future.

It was a great final concert of the year by NSS’ three bands.

Moondance, then showcased their talents with two more musical selections.

Macgibbon introduced the senior band with a teasing question.

“Did anyone out there watch the Charlie Brown show? Any Charlie Brown fans?”

Macgibbon then demonstrated the wild windmill playing style of one of the bass players from the Charlie Brown Christmas special.

The senior band smartly performed three musical pieces (including a Charlie Brown tune) with Macgibbon moving from the traditional conductor position to orchestrate with the drum set situated at the rear of the student performers.

After finishing with a Star Wars melody, the senior band treated the audience to a slide show presentation of their recent trip to San Francisco.

Each member had the opportunity to talk about their favorite memory with highlights including stories and pictures of biking the Golden Gate bridge, Alcatraz, Fisherman’s Warf and the California Academy of Science.

Beyond the stereotypical San Fran’ tourist destinations the students indulged in the ‘Frisco music scene by attending a concert by the “best pianist in the world,” Evgeny Kissin, meeting the jazz legend Wynton Marsalis and attending the church of St. John Coltrane.

Ellen Weatherhead mused that the Sunday morning experience was “probably the weirdest church experience that anyone has ever had. It was really chill and cool and kinda spiritual.”

Senior band member Sage Reimer was kind enough to offer her thanks on behalf of the globe-trotting students.

“We would really like to thank all of our sponsors that helped us go to San Francisco,” Reimer said.

“And a huge thank you to Mr. MacGibbon because he put so much time and effort into this and actually went with us, which was pretty brave. It was an amazing trip that I don’t think any of us will ever forget.”

On June 4 Patrick Macgibbon and the collective members of the Nakusp Secondary Band gathered in the high school gymnasium along with fellow students, parents and special guests for their final band concert of the 2013/2014 school year.

The smartly dressed orchestra was subtlety divided into Grade 8, Grade 9 and senior band ensembles, with several members transcending the grade divides to play across the musical board.

The Grade 8s began with a spot-on performance of the national anthem then powered through three selections that highlighted different sections of instruments.

They finished their Grade 8 musical career with a rousing tune entitled Celebration, which popped and jumped to the delight of the gathered audience.

The succeeding Grade 9 group ramped up the playlist with the familiar Van Morrison tune,

Nakusp Secondary School students visit AZCO could be an inspirational example of somebody who has persevered to make a successful business in a niche global market.

Ozone systems are

Ken Barisoff Special to the ALN

Parasites, bacteria, and viruses are enemies that we normally fend off with chlorine, however, there is a superior method that has caught the attention of the international market over 100 years ago.

Similar to computers and phones, ozone technology has also achieved reliability and low cost. Ozone, a molecule of three oxygen atoms, allows an amazingly environmentally friendly and effective purification process that prevents humans from consuming chlorine and its by-products, while making the questionable purity of creek, lake, and even grey water completely free of dangerous organisms and chemicals.

With over 250 uses, ozone can pre-oxidize gas leaks, re-use grey water, purify water for pools, hot springs, and city drinking water systems, and is a requirement for bottled water companies.

Naturally occurring in mountain gurgling creeks, ozone is highly desirable due to its healthful effects on the environment.

These positive attributes of ozone were part of the discussions that Nakusp Secondary School’s electronics students were exposed to on the field trip that two classes had last week. AZCO Industries Ltd., headed by engineer, Vladimir Stuchlik, runs a manufacturing plant right here in Nakusp, with four employees, a head office in Langley, and an international market.

It may be surprising to many locals that the possibility for such entrepreneurship exists in such a small community but, “this place is one of the best places on earth to live”, says

used by local bottled water companies such as Crystal Clear and Nakusp Springs and by cities such as Nanaimo, BC, and many international

organizations in various countries. While providing jobs for locals, “engineers and knowledgeable employees are in demand”, says Vladimir.

After having traveled much of the world and seeing much of it covered in polluted, desert, or barren lands, the clean environment and plentiful water supply makes this place a gem.

Nakusp Secondary students started the tour with a demonstration of the functioning system operating on site then proceeded through the manufacturing

warehouse. Detailed explanations of the high tech electronic circuitry, the production methods of the ozone producing glass tubing units, and the purification mixing tank assemblies followed.

For any students who are inclined towards engineering and technology, this was a very valuable informational experience. For students who are entrepreneurial minded, this

The Arrow Lakes ATV Club held its first club ride of the season on Sunday, June 8.

It was a great day for a ride and 21 people rode up Slewiskin to the junction.

“We all enjoyed a wiener roast for lunch,” said Pat Knech, the club’s secretary. “Thanks to Jerry and Linda for supplying the food.”

On the ride down a few of the members stopped to find some Geocaches. (picture 2).

“A number of our members are learning to use GPS and Geocaching is a great way to practice,” he added.

The next event is our annual Family Fun Ride on June 29.

Canada Day festivities packed day of fun A full day of festivities is planned for Nakusp’s Canada Day festival this year, including a parade, farmers’ market, food vendors, live music, face painting, games, and fireworks on the waterfront.

New to this event will be the Kootenay Skate Series’ bike and skate jam event, featuring instruction, demonstrations, and prizes.

Organizer Ty Smith of Castlegar seeks to increase awareness, safety, and participation in an often misunderstood sport that can be a great opportunity for recreation and exercise.

The fun keeps going into the evening with live music with

young country artist Lisa Nicole.

Last year’s bunnock tournament was a hit with 38 teams participating, so this popular tournament will once again provide some fun and competition for all ages.

The new Canada Day Card Game gives everyone another chance to win. From Friday, June 27 until noon on July 1, visitors to downtown merchants who can find answers to a set of clues will receive a poker card. The clues, complete rules, and list of participating merchants will be available at the Nakusp Visitor Centre.

Watch next week’s Arrow Lakes News for a complete schedule of all of the Canada Day activies.

GRADUATION 2014

Principals Speach

Good afternoon ladies, gentleman and Graduates. My name is Natasha Miles and I am the principal of Nakusp Secondary School. This is my first year at the school and it gives me great pleasure to be with you all today. Thank you for attending today’s ceremony and celebrating with us the achievements of our graduation class.

Before I go any further into my speech I would like you to note something for later on. As our ceremony today proceeds and you begin to feel saddle sore from sitting through the events and long speeches (and you will because there is a lot to share with you about this grad class) just remember that I have cut my speech in half (just two pages instead of my usual four) as there is a football match on this afternoon in Brazil that I’d like to catch the tail end of, if that is okay with you.

The theme of the Graduation Banquet last night was ‘country’ and I was reassured that this didn’t mean we were going to be subjected to country music all night long as country music wasn’t really scene for me growing up in south London in the 1980s as an impressionable teenager. I was told that the theme was chosen to reflect the affinity this Grad class have for the country around them and being out in that country. Those of you who are first time visitors to Nakusp this weekend will have noticed that ‘country’ is indeed all around us. You can’t help but raise your eyes up to the mountains that surround our village and get a glint in your eye from the lake that sparkles in the summer sun as it laps on our shore.

The front country of our province allows us all to see without too much effort or exertion the beauty of the country around us. Access to viewpoints, places of historic interest or geological curiosity are usually signposted, a neat trail is laid out and maintained, some washrooms are made available for our convenience and bear bins are ready to take our waste so that we take

Nakusp’s

only memories and leave only footprints. In many ways the front country is like childhood.

It allows us a little freedom to explore without having to do too much planning ourselves, it has laid out paths that we can follow and that give us a few choices on which way to turn and it gets us to begin to be curious about the world around us. As a child when we explore and play we are told “Be careful”.

The back country of our province however is a different experience altogether. The beauty and majesty is world class – you would find it hard to come across anywhere else that beats it. Behind the beauty, though, is a tough, wild environment full of hazards and challenges for us that we don’t come across every day. This is the land of adulthood where we have to think on our feet, where we have so much choice as to what direction to take we sometimes take the wrong one, and where the rules have gone and we are on our own. We have to be prepared for entering and spending time in the backcountry, so as we look at our graduating class today we ask ourselves, are they prepared to be in the back country of adult life where they will make decisions for themselves, where they may choose the complicated path and need to know how to get back and where they have the freedom to be who they want to be and explore their own back country?

After five years at NSS we, as a school, know that they are prepared. They have been given the tools they need to take their place as an adult in our society. Families, community and school have all had a part to play and today’s ceremony is a celebration of these fine young people whom I have enjoyed getting to know over the last year and supporting them where I can. So, Graduates, as you venture out into this wonderful world of ours, always be prepared but most of all enjoy what the back country has to offer.

all the best to the

and make memories that will last a life time. Science apperception days, ping pong at lunch and Frasers grind, were just some of the memories from our junior years. Then along came grade 10.

We were finally asked to choose our classes accordingly to what we wanted to do in life. If you ask me that is lot to ask for from a fifteen year old, but we managed to make it work. With this came a sense of direction that further progressed the transformation of our lives. (not finished) Which brings us to where we are today. With many highways, streets and the occasionally U-turn ahead; most of us are nervous and not sure what to think as we are about to head off to college, university or wherever the path may take us. Similar to the feeling we first experienced when we first started high school. Now most of you may be wondering why this rubix cube still isn’t solve yet.

Well for starters, we wouldn’t be able to solve it if you gave us a year up here but also it serves as a message to our grad class. The reality of it is, that the puzzle will never be fully solved. With each day comes new opportunities and challenges to overcome. Life is full of surprises and as we step out into the real world we will quickly figure that out.

Now we would like to take a look into your futures and the events that will most likely take place. Most of us will begin to see the world in a different view this fall, as we all part ways. By leaving home we will be able to truly see who we are and where we come from. Since we are not physic and it is impossible to sit here and describe what all of these kids will accomplish after graduation, we have decided to leave you with some advice instead. Take it or leave it. Clothes may be worn for a maximum for three days before they are washed. Unless they are jeans; jeans can been worn until you start to smell them while wearing them.

a

Good afternoon ladies, gentlemen and fellow classmates. We are truly honoured by the opportunity to represent our class of 2014 and deliver the valedictorian speech. Before we begin, we would like to thank all of the teachers, family, friends and volunteers that helped us get to where we are today. Lastly, thank you to our fellow grads for the memories made over the last five years of our lives. We would also like to apologise to those we didn’t get to know well enough, and to those we knew too well.

Sitting here before you is the Grad Class of 2014. Like many Valedictorians, we could tell you how the students before you will become amazing doctors, lawyers, or rich business tycoons in the next couple of years. But to be honest we don’t have that much hope. The truth is most of us will be broke students for the next ten of years. Eating hot pockets and Kraft dinner, this might not seem that bad now, but we can guarantee that after 4 years of it you will think differently. Some of you may think this is harsh, but it’s merely the reality of what we are going to face once we leave the security of our homes.

It’s hard to believe that just a couple of years ago we began our journeys into high school. For most of us this was a scary time of our lives. Especially when you have Mrs. Suhr trying to scare us during grade 7 orientation. But it turns out, she’s not that bad.

Even though the start of high school was intimidating for most, it was oddly exciting and the start of something new.

For many of us, we came into high school with no direction of where we wanted to go in life. Much like this unsolved rubix cube, we were jumbled and disoriented. As we began to set our feet on the ground, the puzzle began to slowly solve itself piece by piece. Learning what class was where, when the breaks where and who liked who. This was the foundation that lead us to where we are today. With each year after, we continued to solve the puzzle

Congratulations Class of 2014

Junior golfers learn the proper waggle RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News

For the past three weeks, five times a

week, Lynda Henke has taken a different group of four junior golfers out for a nine hole game at the Na-

The rounds were an exclusive opportunity for Henke to work with the members of her Junior Golf program one on one and are unique to this year’s program.

This was the fourth year running for the Junior Golf program, which focuses on the fundamental skills of the game and includes instruction on

golfers.

But to Henke her

program is more than just teaching kids how to golf.

“I wanted to promote the course and get them to feel like this is their course,” she said. “Nakusp golf is a members’ based club and these are our future members,” she said.

Twenty youth, ranging from eight to 15 years, participated in the 2014 program.

Junior golfer, Dawson Bone, commented that the program was “fun, we got to golf a lot” and taught him “how to be a better golfer and how to aim better.”

The group gathered for a final time on a sunny Wednesday morning for one last session at the driving range and then mixed up teams for a friendly nine hole round.

Off the sidelines and into the pitch RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News

The Nakusp Minor Soccer program wrapped up its 2014 season with a spirited game of kids vs parents on Wednesday June 11.

Nakusp elementary and secondary soccer fields were littered with brightly colored jerseys ducking and weaving between towering adults in lighthearted attempts to show-off newly learned skills.

The annual tradition caps off a successful season of spirited competition

Commons’ Sense

between two junior, four peewee and two novice teams with over 100 young participants.

The Nakusp Minor soccer organization was sponsored by Royal LePage and Rec Commission #4, and each team was individually sponsored by local business.

Nakusp Minor Soccer organizers would like to thank all of the coaches and volunteers that helped make this year’s season a reality. They would also like to acknowledge Deanne and Daryl Katchen for donating signs to the organization.

A project of the Kootenay Co-op

Early Adoptors For Marty and Lena Horswill, both longtime Nelsonites and recent retirees, Nelson Commons is the place they’ve chosen to downsize and simplify their lives. When the project is complete, they will move from their acreage outside of town into a two-bedroom, corner apartment at the Commons, where driving will no longer be a necessity.

“I’ll be able to see my doctors office through the window,” 66-year-old Lena said, smiling. Within two blocks of the development site there are movie and performance theatres, athletic facilities, restaurants and cafes, clothing stores, pharmacies and banks. “If the time comes when one or both of us can no longer drive, we’ll be able to walk to everything we need.”

With the Co-op focused on designing their new store bringing a range of new offerings that will include a 50 seat cafe and the BC Wine Guys moving in right next door, the Nelson Commons Development continues to market condo units and expects to start building this summer.

For the Horswills, moving into the Commons is sure to bring a boom to their social lives. They’ll have friends and neighbours living just steps away and the activity of downtown all around them.

“We’re going to have to discipline ourselves in terms of spending,” laughed Lena. “Where we live now, it’s easy to stay in a lot of the time. I expect we’re going to become a lot more social and go out a lot more when we’re living right downtown — we’ll have no excuse not to.”

A variety of residential units and retail/commercial units are still available. Visit the Display Suite & Sales Office at 621 Vernon St, 12:00 to 5:00, Wednesday to Sunday (or call to book an appointment).
