Forty years ago a compassionate group of people saw a gap in their community and decided to try and make life better for everyone.

The Arrow & Slocan Lakes Community Ser-

vices provincial non-profit society was formed in 1972, with the ambition to provide homemaker services to community members. From their humble beginnings of a single service, the society has grown to include over 20 programs and services designed to help make life better for the residents of the Slocan, Trout and Arrow Lake areas.

June 20th marked the 40th anniversary of the ASLCS, which Tim Payne, the executive director, acknowledges as a significant milestone. The society hosts an annual appreciation, but in light of the anniversary the societies staff decided to do something special right on the front lawn of the service building.

On Friday June 13, 40 art lovers across the spectrum drifted in and out of Anne Beliveau’s gallery, Studio Connexion, to view the latest show by Burton media artist Denyse Marshall.

This is the second time Marshall’s work has been exhibited at Studio Connexion. Her first show was a partnership with artist Holly Woods and featured a series of still life and landscape scenes in acrylic and watercolors. Anne was “really pleased with Denyse’s work” and invited Marshall to do a solo show. Now out of the throes of winter and armed with a new series of paintings, Marshall has returned to the comfortable studio on Fifth Avenue to showcase her collection of landscape paintings for a show entitled Explorations.

“We titled this show Explorations because I am exploring what my style is,” she said. “I am having so much fun starting painting and knowing that if I make a mistake it doesn’t matter. I am just exploring a technique or I am challenging myself.”

Winter and fall themes are prominent in the exhibit, as is the color purple which echoes through scenes of wintered woods and abstract visions of the inside of an unnamed canyon.

“I love the colors,” said Beliveau. “They are very vibrant: (Marshall’s) work is very loose and she paints very comfortably,” she added.

With titles such as Snow Showers, Entangled, and After the Fire, Marshall immerses her audience into an impressionistic rediscovery of familiar landscapes. The series toys with the viewer’s sense of the Arrow Lakes region by either employing prominent landmarks, such as the Thor and Odin mountains, or simply focusing on a single scene to achieve the illustrated equivalent of a synecdoche. Viewing Marshall’s work is an act of travel itself; take for example the fluid piece titled Hilda Bowl, which depicts a microcosm representation of an area frequented by local snowboarders. Viewers who are familiar with the snow sport or the

When asked if Marshall discovered anything about herself during her exploration, she commented, “I discovered that lots of times artists are attracted to light and shadow, but what I realized is that what I am really attracted to is the form something takes.”

I’m sometimes asked how I acquire the ideas which are later translated into one or more editions of the Seniors’ Column published in this newspaper over the past eleven years.

The answer is simple: every day there is always something special to discover about Nakusp, its wonderful people and bountiful natural resources which surround us throughout the year.

I often hear the comment that regardless of the life challenges which many of us are facing at the moment, we are fortunate to be able to draw upon the rich and inspirational nuggets of wis-

ity and creativity who do their best to highlight their entries. These range widely from an eclectic display of locally cultivated fruits, vegetables, baked goods, delicious jams, jellies through to colourful collections of artistic examples of home and traditional arts and crafts.

Special entertainment is also being arranged for the big day- details will soon follow throughout the summer months.

The Fall Fair is sponsored by Arrow Lakes Arts Council, which is already hard at work preparing for yet another outstanding community event.

• This Week in History • June 27, 1924 Cheers rang out and congratulations for the successful candidate, C.S. Leary MLA elect, as the first member to be elected from the Arrow Lakes District, to represent the combined Kaslo-Slocan riding in the provincial house.

June 28, 1934 Mrs. Etta Appleby, one of the old timers of the Nakusp district passed away, at the age of 58. She came to the district 20 years ago first settling on a ranch in West Demars. Mrs. Appleby then came to Nakusp with her daughter, where she went into the confectionary and ice cream business which she later sold to E.G. Lodge. Mrs. Appleby moved to Ferguson nine years ago where she went into partnership with David Morgan, general merchant of that town.

June 22, 1944 It was a touching sight to see the

S.S. Bonnington being taken away from Nakusp by the S.S. Beaton. It has been more than a dozen years since the good ship Bonnington left the shipyard at Nakusp under her own steam. The Beaton fastened onto the Bonnington’s side, and with little more difficulty than with a barge, took the beautiful steamer to its point of dismantling at Beaton.

July 1, 1954 Last hopes of bringing the famed S.S. Minto back into service on the Arrow Lakes have foundered. The Canadian Maritime Commission will consider subsidizing a steamer service between Arrowhead and Nakusp to replace the Minto. Despite the appeals to restore the historic paddle wheeler, Ottawa finds that it is obsolete and too costly to renovate in view of the limited services call for in the area.

June 26, 1974 A big hit at the weekend circus was Bimbo Jr. an elephant, who entertained the children of the area before and during the show. The Kinsmen whom sponsored the event, were very pleased with the two packed shows.

June 27, 1984 The Nakusp Hot Springs road will be paved starting next week. Provincial seal coat crews will be moved into the area to put on a double seal coat on the full length of road from Nakusp to the Host Springs.

June 22, 1994 A blockade was called off when members of the media showed

up to throw light on concerns of Kootenay truck drivers about delays on the Upper Arrow Lake Ferry.

Truckers are upset that the Ministry of Transportation and Highways, Marine Division, has implemented a two-truck limit on the 20 minute ferry. This means truckers can wait as long as five to six hours at the ferry landing during their daily runs. The previous method was first come, first served, allowing as many as four fully loaded trucks on the vessel. Thursday’s blockade was planned after a frustrated trucker on Tuesday afternoon, parked his rig across the ramp at the Shelter Bay landing, calling a halt to off-loading and loading of the ferry. Fellow truckers supported the driver, aligning their rigs so that negotiating the ramp meant driving through an obstacle course. The truckers ended the protest a half hour later when the RCMP were called.

Editorial Our View

Timing is everything They say the key to good comedy is timing. The same could be said of labour action.

The BC teachers’ strike, now in full swing, is an example of questionable timing. It appears to be a gamble that may not pay off.

The strike is taking place at a time when students are normally preparing for final exams. This is a time when some children have the most need of a teacher’s help.

Classes designed

around reviewing the year’s curriculum will be lost and while the government has assured that exams will go on, you have to wonder if the students are properly prepared to take those tests.

If the teachers were hoping that a midJune strike would provide the needed pressure to bring a quick end to the dispute, they appear to be mistaken.

On June 16 talks collapsed between the two parties and the strike was on.

Now comes the waiting game.

With negotiations stalled and the school year winding down, the pressure to sign a new deal will soon evaporate.

If the strike continues into July, why would either side feel the need to make concessions?

What will result is two long months of speeches, saber-rattling and rhetoric as both sides claim to be fighting for a just cause.

Worse, is the fact

that parents and the general public will begin to lose interest as normal summer vacation activities begin.

With no pressure to make a deal, the strike could linger.

Then comes September. There is no justifiable reason to let this strike continue into another school year.

The time to make the deal is now, otherwise both sides can expect a long summer and possibly, a volatile autumn.

Nakusp Council Meeting June 9, 2014

Ryan Willman Arrow Lakes News

Permissive Tax Exemption It is within the council’s mandate to either grant or deny permissive tax exemption requests for properties (or a portion of a property) within the village of Nakusp. In previous years the council has not accepted any new permissive tax applications and has held the status quo of grandfathering eligible properties, which total 1.87 per cent of the annual municipal tax revenue. The 2014 council is faced with three choices regarding permissive tax exemptions; allow the current six applicants a further one-year exemption and accept no new applications, or allow the current six another year and accept new applications for consideration or request that all interested community groups submit an application for consideration. In a report submitted to council by Chief Financial Officer Robert Richards, council was advised to consider

the second option and roll forward the current permissive tax exemptions and accept new applications.

Councilor Ulli Muller wondered about the status of the old Fire Hall and the Kinsman building “If those two buildings are taken over by non-profits,” he asked, “they are still our buildings. Would there be a tax exemption?”

Chief Administrative Officer Linda Tynan responded that once council signs a lease with the non-profit organizations the building’s existing tax exemption would become null and void, requiring the submission of an application for tax exemption.

The Community Charter reads that Permissive Tax Exemption applications must be advertised by in the community starting in July and applications must be submitted prior to October 31.

Osprey and Hillclimb Osprey Community Foundation fund holder, Kelly Silverthorn, has requested that council manage a grant of $3000 from his fund to be dispersed to the Nakusp Springs Hillclimb Society’s proposed 2014 event. Council is involved because the Osprey foundation can only disburse grants to qualified donees, which include charitable organizations and municipalities, and the Hillclimb Society is not a registered charity.

“When Osprey hands the money over to council,” Tynan clarified, “it will be under the condition that it will go back to

the foundation if the 2014 hill climb event doesn’t happen.”

Hot Springs and Chalets budget Variance Council received the updated Hot Springs and chalet budget variance, dated for May 31, 2014, outlining current data on expenditures and operational information for the previous five months.

The Cedar Chalets are a new addition to the village’s responsibilities and has undergone some operational changes and upgrades. For example, as of June 1 reservations and bookings have moved to the front counter of the hot springs and an online booking option will soon be available.

Tynan admits that there has been a learning curve for the village, however.

“We have been getting some very good reviews from the Chalet,” he stated.

Union of BC Municipalities Convention in Whistler Premier Christy Clark has sent letters to BC’s Mayors and Regional District Chairs inviting reps to join her and her caucus colleagues at the UBCM convention in Whistler. The event is dated for September and council has begun considering issues and initiatives they will present on behalf of the village of Nakusp.

Councilor Tom Zeleznik brought forth a proposal from NACFOR asking that he meet with the Minister of Forestry to discuss, “NACFOR land base and opportuni-

ties to increase land base from the immersion of forest liquescence’s to area based tenures and discuss land base issues with respect to mountain caribou areas.”

Mayor Karen Hamling backed the request saying she was working with the previous minister, Patrick Bell, to expand the area of the community forests because “We had lost a lot of tenure” when the caribou area was allocated.

Recycling Information Session Proposal What will happen to the RDCK bins?

What are we to do with the glass? Why didn’t the village buy blue bins? Why do I have to buy blue bags?

Councilor Guy Duchaine proposed a resolution that staff organize an information meeting for the public to address questions on the new recycling program. Duchaine was motivated to propose the public information session based on conversations he has had with community members.

“Everyone is happy we are participating,” said Duchaine. “It is a great thing,” but added it would be prudent for council to make themselves available to address community questions.

“I think (a public meeting) is a great idea, because I have had more questions on this issue than any other issue,” said Duchaine in expressing his support.

Council passed the resolution and will begin making plans for the community meeting.

Angelo Golik and the Fort Sheppard Hotel Greg nesteroff Arrow Lakes News

Sixty-second in a series on West Kootenay/ Boundary place names.

A photo that accompanied this column a few weeks ago showed some musicians outside the old Fort Sheppard Hotel at Waneta. It was taken by Fred Fransen (not Frans, as erroneously stated in the caption) probably in the 1930s and provided by his son Thor. Although most people were unidentified, the man holding a guitar was labelled “A. Golik.”

John Golik of South Slocan phoned to say Jovanovic (centre) and Angelo Golik (right) at the Fort Sheppard Hotel, that was his uncle Angelo who, along with probably in the 1930s. The name of the man on the left is unknown.

John’s parents, came to Canada from Croatia in Photo by Fred Fransen, courtesy Thor Fransen the 1920s. John’s father found work on the reconstruction of the Kootenay River dams and Angelo stayed with them for a while.

“He had his guitar with him and would strum it,” John recalls. “I was just a toddler then. He left it in our closet and I would pick away at the strings.”

He isn’t sure what Angelo was doing at the Fort Sheppard Hotel, although he apparently lived in Trail at one point.

In 1937, Angelo married Helen Bourgeois of Crescent Valley. The following year he was laid off by West Kootenay Power, so the couple decided to move to Wells where Angelo had previously worked at the Caribou Gold Quartz mine.

“We purchased a Model A Ford and drove to Wells with all our belongings,” Helen recalled in an autobiography. “It took us 2½ days, 22 flat tires, and a leaky radiator before we landed.”

After a few years they moved to the coast and had a variety of occupations, ranging from farming to owning a pharmacy to running the Sasquatch Inn at Harrison Mills.

However, in 1958, Angelo suffered a collapsed lung and needed surgery to remove three-quarters of it. He discovered he had contracted silicosis as a miner years earlier. He later tried farming again (they raised rabbits until he discovered he was allergic to them) but was in and out of hospital until his death in Vancouver in 1963 at age 58.

Helen went to work at the Langley post office and then Cloverdale Paint and a hardware store before retiring. She died in 1999 at age 85.

They had no children.

John recalls Angelo “was quite a kidder, quite a character. He had a great sense of humor, as did Helen.”

John also identified another person in the photo, his uncle’s friend John Jovanovic, whom he recalls taking the bus to visit in Rossland.

Jovanovic worked at the Trail smelter and had a wife, son, and daughter.

One other correction to the original story: a newspaper ad for the Fort Sheppard hotel actually appeared in the Trail Daily Times from August 24 to September 4, 1928, not the Victoria Colonist.

Parasites, bacteria, and viruses are enemies 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 more than 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 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 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

Spring is a time of new beginnings, and although the Arrow Lakes Arts Council Presents a Musical Spring Concert took place the day after the summer solstice, it accurately described the theme of a concert that showcased many firsts and highlighted new beginnings. Many of the performers who bravely and confidently occupied the limelight on the afternoon of June 22 were doing so for their very first time, while seasoned veterans experimented with their craft and brought new life to old favourites.

Massy assumed the familiar role as MC for the concert series, and began with a powerful message to parents; “Parents you are the ones that make the difference when it comes

to kids who are dancing, or painting, or doing theatre or playing whatever instrument the kids want to play.

It doesn’t happen without the support behind them. So you as the parents are really the power behind students who are going to be involved in any sort of arts program.”

Massy then introduced her first piece in the form of a lesson explaining the antithetical relationship between stringed instruments and electronic devices.

“Signing Strings, by Roberta Stephen was written in the 1980’s and teaches what a harmonic structure of a piano is all about.

Strings tune to the harmonic structure, they do not get along with electronic devices.”

Massy artfully worked in a variety of lessons throughout the performances during the concert, weaving

and technology, this was a very valuable informational experience. For students who are entrepreneurial minded, this could be an inspirational example of somebody who has persevered to make a successful business in a niche global market.

The concert bill was filled with talented locals at various stages of their musical development. Guests were treated to a variety of instrument performances including piano, saxophone, violin and clarinet covering a mix of classical selections was well as familiar contemporary tunes. “I always include either Canadian or contemporary music” Massy stated.

The audience was also treated to unexpected surprises. Joy Soucy delivered two

haunting and beautiful vocal selections written by composersSubtotal: who $121.00 are obscured by a lack of biographical information. Massy teamed up with Rosmaire Parent and Bertoia for a lively concerto and the afternoon reached its crescendo with a performance by the Arrow Lakes String Ensemble.

Bobby’s adventures in the world of hosting characters RYAN WILLMAN Arrow lakes News

The eloquent and charismatic author, Bobby Hutchinson, made it a point to greet every guest at the library on Wednesday evening, a social nicety that her B&B experience may have turned into a lingering habit. Nonetheless, the gesture was warmly received and established a comfortable mood for the ensuing book presentation.

Hutchinson’s presence at the Nakusp Library was orchestrated though the One Book One Kootenay program and was the second stop of her tour. The OBOK book competition was created by the Kootenay Library Federation to celebrate and inform readers about the rich pool of literary talent bubbling in our own regional backyard. The process began with a dedicated committee (including our library’s own Patty Riley) truncating a list of 35 books by Kootenay authors into a short-list of standout texts. The list was then revealed to the reading public, who has until August 10 to explore the selections and cast a vote for their favourite

Kootenay novel being selected as the One Book for 2014.

Hutchinson’s book, Blue Collar B&B, was included in the shortlist by the OBOK committee and stands with two other novels; Africa’s Unfinished Symphony by Fauquier resident Lucia Mann and South of Elfrida by Holley Rubinsky from Kalso. “I am honoured and a little intimidated” Hutchinson said of her nomination. “The other two authors are what I would call literary writers, whereas I am just a storyteller.”

Blue Collar B&B is an account of Hutchinson’s experience when she de- Allan Pusey entertains a hungry crowd with his acoustic set Ryan Willman cided to add the operation of a B&B to her already established career as a steamy she writes for future generations, and there was a book hiding in the characromance novelist.

array of activities.

“The seniors, kids, music, demonstrations – this party has something for all ends of the spectrum, just like the society” Payne comments amid the hustle and bustle.

The ASLCS also took advantage of the celebration to showcase two new additions to the society – a new bus and a proposed portable shredding service.

The sharp looking – bus, parked proudly in front of the service building, will continue the society’s regional transportation service which provides mobility to the general public. The shredding service will be available to businesses and residents who require a confidential shredding service. A business class paper shredder and trailer have been acquired under the umbrella of the ASLCS, and shredding jobs will be completed by local special needs adults along with their job coaches.

“We wanted to give something back to the community” Payne smiles, “and get in touch with some of the staff and directors who started all of this.”

Mayor Karen Hamling kicked off the festivities by thanking all of the hard working members of the society who “obviously care so much about their community.”

Hamling also spoke about her days working at the Nakusp hospital and praised the ASLCS inceptive homecare service for playing a part in the noted drop in admissions.

After Hamling’s address, Payne enthusiastically invited the hungry crowd to indulge in a free lunch of hot dogs and burgers prepared by the Nakusp Rotary Club.

Mary Eichhorst Mary Eichhorst, born Mary Eunice Woodward on June 20th, 1928 was a prairie girl from the Silverdale District near Redvers, Saskatchewan.

She loved horses, cats and gardening. Her father died when she was one year old, leaving her mother to raise 4 children during the depression of the Dirty Thirties. She completed high school and Bible school at Caronport, Sask. As a young girl, she wanted to be a nurse, but lacked the money for training. After her children were grown, she realized that goal as a practical nurse. She was also a teacher, farmer, upholsterer and wonderful wife and mother. Her parents were Florence (nee Loyst) and Daniel Woodward and she was the youngest of 4 after Jean, Clarence and Maude. She married Carl Eichhorst on June 20,1953 and had 3 children.

Predeceased by her father, mother and 3 siblings, she is survived by her loving husband of almost 61 years, Carl,and her children: Judy and Doug Switzer, Colleen and Bob Ruttenberg and Jeff and Helga Eichhorst. She loved her grandchildren: Jesse (Laurie), Kate (Graham), Taylor (Laurie), Nick (Julie), Alec and Sam. She loved her great grandchildren: Kieryan, Shale and Andrew and was loved by numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and friends in Nakusp and Redvers. She is also survived by her 1 sister-in-law Madeleine Eichhorst.

She was known for her strong faith, optimism and sense of humor.

Adventures during the Burton City Daze Ryan Willman Arrow Lakes News

The clouds down the valley towards Burton looked like someone forgot to make the right sacrifice to the weather gods, and it was going to be another year of rain for the Burton Daze festival. The situation became even more worrisome, as those Nakusp residents who decided to travel Friday night would have found themselves driving through a torrential rainstorm that would have planted seeds of doubt for the success of the beach based event.

Nevertheless, someone somewhere must have done something right, because almost on cue for the advertised 4:30 p.m. Friday night start, the clouds lacked the last of the earth’s thirst then commenced their progressive breakup. Those brave souls who decided to ignore the urge to abandon the Burton experience and weather the storm in their warm, dry houses were rewarded with a pleasantly drizzled Friday and a balmy Saturday of fun filled events at the Burton campground.

It has been four years of rain and change for the Burton City Daze, but the core vision of its organizers has remained consistent.

“We wanted to promote community within Burton” explains Linda Harrop, president of the Burton Community Hall Association. “Burton is a very busy place with all of the different groups and we wanted to make sure that the whole community can be celebrated.”

The event was made possible by coordinating efforts between the Burton Community Hall Association and the various local organizations and clubs.

It was a truly community event, from the volunteers representing the Burton Learning Centre who made sure that the participants were well fed during the weekend, to the Arrow Lakes Grape Growers Society, who greased the wheels of spirited competition with their musical beer gardens.

Friday night was the kick-off for the infamous horseshoe tournament, which was organized as a double knock out competition. Chris Powley made a show of bringing in last years’ tournament bracket detailing the road to victory for him and his teammate Rocky Parton. Impromptu teams were organized, with a good deal of feigned discussion around seeding and draw order before the first shoe was thrown.

Burton Daze, members of The Queens, Rene Goodman, Isabelle Bergeron, Joanne Alaric and Denise Richards.

The two day competition whittled down the teams to a final match that sorted out Brian Harrop and Terry Story as the ‘shoes winners.

A sunny Saturday provided ideal conditions for the relay races and the gymkhana competitions. The relay was a tense battle between the three eager groups, The Queens, the Married Couple and Dazed and Confused, and included a canoe, bike and run relay through the town and the campground. In unique Burton fashion, the start of the competition had to be delayed as there was a snake found in one of the canoes, but once the animal was sorted the race was underway.

Dazed and Confused had a strong lead, but struggled when a paddle was broken in half during the enthusiastic stroke of Shane Alaric. Hunched over the front of the canoe, Alaric did his best to help his teammate Powley reach the buoy destination, and returned back onto the beach with the ladies of the Queen team close behind.

Joanne Alaric managed to pass Dazed and Confused during the bike circuit and pushed her team to first place at the start of running leg of the race.

Passing off the relay lei to teammate Rene Goodman, the Queens were off to a good start for the final 2.5 kilo-

meter run to the finish. However, an unexpected cramp slowed Goodman’s pace and Dazed and Confused managed to regain the lead and take first place for the relay.

Later that afternoon the horses were in full stride out on the local rodeo grounds for the gymkhana. The equestrian competition was a display of speed pattern racing and timed games that display the tight cooperation between horse and rider. Gymkhana’s are held once a month from spring to fall and participants earn points which are added up at the end of the season. Two patter races; a Big M and the Figure 8 Cowhorse were run by seven participants.
