A YEAR IN REVIEW

JANUARY Summit Lake ski area opens

With all the snow Summit Lake Ski Hill is open again, but now into new expanded digs. Visitors can now see the renovations that have been the sweat and love of volunteers, including an expanded ski shop with more room and more light. Volunteers are the heart and soul of the little ski hill that could, building the lodge and the hill into more and more of a recreation centre for the area. Below the ski shop a new first aid room is at the ready, just in case. The generator that runs the t-bar will be tied into the lodge’s electrical system allowing most of the building to have power in the event of an outage.

New Telus tower in Burton

Over the holidays a Telus Communications tower was put up as one part of a 10-year agreement with the province. Telus is installing towers across B.C. with 862 km of wireless coverage along remote highways. The 24 km along Highway 6 now provides coverage to Makinson, Carrol’s Landing and Burton.

A tower in the Fauquier area near the ferry terminal is in the planning stages scheduled for completion in 2015.

Hydro boat ramp threatens to leave derby high and dry

After some uncertainty and a rocky start the third annual Blue Knuckle Derby is on again in 2014, thanks to the community of Nakusp coming together to make it happen. With water levels too low to launch, an alternate launching spot needed to be found. Carla Trenholm and Isaac Vieira have agreed to open up their waterfront for the derby. Not only that, they will be plowing as much room as they can for parking. Interfor is now bringing a 70 foot wharf from Fosthall over to the derby launch site and Waterbridge also stepped to the plate offering a raft to the derby if they need it.

RCMP cruiser set ablaze

Slocan Lake RCMP have released a photo of a cruiser that was set on fire back in December. At 2:45 a.m. on December 19, 2013 Slocan Lake RCMP responded to the report of a fire in front of the RCMP Detachment in New Denver. Police attended to discover the front of the vehicle fully engulfed in flames. No injuries were sustained, however the vehicle was burnt beyond repair.

FEBRUARY Chlorine incident sparks scare at NSS

Nakusp Secondary School is investigating an incident where several students and a teacher were exposed to chlorine gas in the metal shop last week. A student inadvertently opened one of a number of pressurized containers containing Chlorine on Thursday, Jan. 30. “They suspect they came out of the science lab years ago and were chucked in the metal shop,” said Terry Warren, Village of Nakusp Fire Chief. Warren said the metal shop was inspected and cleaned out on Saturday. There were no ongoing issues at the school from the incident.

Summit Lake hosts Nancy Greene Zone Race

It was Summit Lake Racers’ turn to hold the Nancy Greene Zone Race. On Saturday, coaches, parents and a lot of volunteers spent the entire day at the hill preparing and making sure everything was ready to go for the early morning start. 117 racers competed from Summit Lake, Whitewater, Red Mountain and Salmo.

Ten students join inaugural Nakusp Bladerunners Program

The Bladerunner Program is now into its third week at Selkirk College in Nakusp. The program offers life skills and basic forestry training for youth aged 15 to 30 who are struggling to find work. It is a combination of classroom and field work and on-the-job training. The program was brought to Nakusp thanks to the collaboration of several community groups.

Village eyes 2 per cent tax increase for 2014

The Village of Nakusp is looking to increase its tax revenue by about $25,000 this year, in a mostly status-quo budget that was set to go before council on Monday, Feb. 24. At a public hearing last week, Mayor Hamling and Arrow Lakes Director Paul Peterson discussed the Regional District of Central Kootenay budget. District expenses are expected to decline, even with increases in spending on the arena and a few other small items.

Dakoda Fizzard makes Kootenay AAA team

Eight-year-old Dakoda Fizzard is one of seventeen kids to make Kootenay Avalanche AAA Hockey Club. In early Jan. he found out he made the team. The main goal of the Avalanche program is to have players improve individual skills and have the opportunity to compete at the highest level of their age group.

Woman sent to prison for car crash that killed Burton resident

After more than two years through the court system, some closure finally came to the friends and family of Rita Sundstrom. Lisa Torp Jepsen was sentenced to 15 months in prison and handed three years probation and a seven year driving prohibition for causing the crash that killed Sundstrom just South of Nakusp on Nov. 10, 2011.

Dr. Daniels closes Nakusp optometrist office

Dr. Roland Daniels has closed his Nakusp optometry practice after 37 years in the community. The closure comes after the office was closed for several weeks after Dr. Daniels experienced a heart attack. “He’s been very faithful to this town and we’ve had a lot of great patients who’ve been faithful to us,” said Suzanne Story.

The West Koote Route: A new regional brand

The West Koote Route. It’s the brand name for the region stretching from Nakusp to Kaslo, including the Slocan valley and other surrounding areas. The idea is to get people to come to the region and tourists will want specific places to go. Once they’re here you point them to other activities and businesses. “This whole region needs to figure out how to make this work,” said Tom Hudock of marketing agency Brand Reinfluencer.

ARPIL Local collective aims to take over old fire hall

The Village of Nakusp is supporting a local group who wants to take over the old fire hall. Calling themselves the Old Fire Hall Collective Society, Rosemary Hughes presented the group’s plans to council at its March 24 meeting. The group has applied for a grant under the WorkBC Job Creation Partnership in order to get funding to upgrade the building. The group’s membership includes Mirror Theatre, Nakuspinners, the Burton Farmer’s Market, and local food and beverage producers. She said the fire hall would give the Mirror Theatre rehearsal space; it would provide a location for the Nakuspinners to hold their classes and keep their spinners and loom; and would provide space for courses on food production, storage and processing. “This project, it maintains the building. It will respect the heritage,” she said “There’s no intention of changing it at all.

It was built in 1949.”

Maiden voyage of new Upper Arrow Lakes ferry delayed

The new Upper Arrow Lakes ferry will not be in service for the May long weekend due to delays caused by a subcontractor for the project. “The sea trials will be delayed due to unforeseen circumstances associated with personnel. A key participant in the sea trials is unable to attend due to medical reasons and the company was not able to immediately assign a replacement,” wrote a spokesperson from the Ministry of Transportation, in an email. Lead contractor John Harding told us the vessel was on schedule and would be ready for sea trials at some point in March, however that is obviously no longer the case.

Nakusp court registry closes

The Nakusp court registry closed quietly late last month, confirming what had been speculated for more than a month. “Court proceedings will continue at the same location and on the same schedule as previously, only registry functions will be managed at another location,” wrote a Ministry of Justice’s spokesperson in response to questions.

The registry is now located in Nelson so any court filings will have to be sent there.

Fauquier Fire Hall grand opening

Fauquier celebrated the grand opening of the new fire hall last Saturday. This project had its genesis in the spring of 2012 when the Fauquier Volunteer Fire Brigade was looking for a replacement for its aging pumper. Funds for the building came from three sources: the RDCK, Columbia Basin Trust, and the Fauquier community club.

Our View

New Year As we prepare to start a new year, there are signs that indicate there may be hope for the world yet. Or at least for British Columbians.

A recent poll by Insights West shows that the most important thing for people through the holiday season was not the shopping, the tree, getting gifts or any of the usual trappings of the season.

No, according to the poll, people regard time with friends and family as the most positive aspect of the holiday season. That goes for Albertans too, though slightly less so (85 per cent) than for the warm-hearted B.C.’ers (87 per cent).

And that is something pretty nice to hear, what with all the bad news we hear, both locally and from around the world, the rampant commercialism at this time of year and arguments over whether or not it’s Christmas or the Holiday Season.

But now that Christmas is over and a new year is upon us, we have a chance to reflect back on the past and, with a touch of hope, look forward at the year to come.

2015 will be a time of change and adjustment. It always is following an election year.

For many West Kootenay communities they are dealing with new mayors, councillors or other political representatives.

Spring may be the time for rebirth, but January is when we all usually take a good look at ourselves and our communities.

These observations usually lead to some random, never kept resolutions to do something better this year.

Usually dieting, or exercise, or smoking — the list goes on. But why are these resolutions so personal?

Why not resolve to help the community?

Perhaps volunteer more or get more active in local issues. Just one helping hand can make a big difference.

Who knows, in four years you could be running for office.

The Happy Homemaker

CHA NTE LLE CA RTE R

I can hardly believe it is the year 2015! It feels like 2014 passed with the blink of an eye.

My grandparents always said time sped up the older a person got, but I never believed them until I was living it.

With life seeming to pass by so quickly and being so busy with every day happenings, it is very easy to forget to slow down, appreciate each moment fully, and be mindful of the things in your life that are GREAT. I use the time just before I close my eyes each night to recite the things I am thankful for. I have been doing this for many years now and most nights my list is long and easy, and I say them with tears in my eyes and heart aching with gratitude (the best feeling ever!). And then there are some nights where it is a real struggle to come up with my minimum number of three.

There are always the obvious ones; my kids, my loved ones, my health.

But I try and take it a step further and find the blessings in the not so pleasant things that are inevitable. I ponder what lessons I am learning from that negative experience or finding and focusing on the good qualities of someone who you may be having difficulties with, and/or accepting and letting go of people who either can’t, or don’t want to be a part of your life are just some examples.

The most amazing effect this had on my life since practicing this daily ritual is the feeling of utter contentment, each and every night, even during the worst of times. How does it possibly get better than that?

So this year I have decided to make a gratitude jar and bring this practice into my home with the hope that my children learn to search for and cel-

ebrate the many blessings that surround us daily.

We will write good things that happen to us on little pieces of paper; accomplished goals, kind gestures, the beauty of nature, surprise gifts, daily blessings, laugh out loud moments, and place it in the gratitude jar which will sit on my kitchen counter. I will make the mason jar aesthetically pleasing of course.

On New Year’s Eve 2015, the four us will look back and read all of the little notes (hopefully hundreds of them), and reflect on all the good things that happened throughout the year.

I couldn’t think of a more wonderful way to ring in a New Year: full of love, laughter, gratitude and thanks.

I hope that all of you choose to do the same. Happy New Year valley friends and I leave you with this blessing:

May you always have enough happiness to keep you sweet; enough trials to keep you strong; enough success to keep you eager; enough faith to give you courage; and enought determination to make each day a good day.

Search continues on Slocan Lake for missing trio An RCMP dive team continued to search Monday afternoon for three New Denver area youths whose canoe overturned on Slocan Lake, but police are now calling it a “recovery mission.” The mishap claimed the life of Lily Harmer-Taylor, 19, while Jule WiltshirePadfield, 15, Hayden Kyle, 21, and Skye Donnet, 18, remain missing. In a written statement, New Denver mayor Ann Bunka said her community and all others along Slocan Lake are “reeling” from the tragedy. “This is a small community and every accident and loss is personal. This is a close knit community that rallies together in times of need and never has this been more apparent.

Junior girls home win tourney

Nakusp’s Junior girls took a spot at its own tournament this past weekend. The Junior Girls A soccer team, the Nakusp Cougars, won its invitational secondary school soccer tournament May 2 and May 3. It was the girls’ first home tournament in 10 years and was reason enough to celebrate Friday night, especially after two shut-out games that afternoon. The Junior B team and the Senior team did not fare as well with wins but surely gained a wealth of sportsmanship and teamwork. Other schools who participated were from Trail, Creston, Cranbrook, Castlegar, Rossland, Penticton and Oliver.

Nakusp man nabbed at border

A Nakusp resident is being detained at the Spokane County Jail after allegedly attempting to smuggle more than 50 pounds of ecstasy across the border at Metaline Falls. Leslie Bateman, 64, was taken into custody by U.S. Customs and Border Protection on May 5 as he attempted to enter Washington state as a commercial truck driver transporting a load of cedar bark and rails destined for Idaho. Bateman told federal investigators he was short on money and accepted an offer of $15,000 from a man to make a delivery when he trucked lumber to southeast Idaho. He said he knew what he was transporting was illegal and that he’d made a “huge mistake," according to court documents.

NSS Cougarettes win fifth place plaque at the 2014 Single A Provincials in Vancouver Police apprehend suspect after rash of incidents

On June 9 RCMP received a report that a male was damaging a vehicle with a shovel at the British Columbia Service Building in Nakusp. It was also reported to police the same male had driven to an address in Nakusp and began to throw large rocks through the front windows of the residence. The police were able to locate the suspect a short time later at his residence. The suspect is a 38-year-old Nakusp resident. The male advised police officers that he was in possession of a firearm and made several comments to try and entice a violent interaction with police. After approximately two and a half hours of continued communication, police were able to take the male into custody without incident.

Naksup Mountain Bike and BMX enthusiasts get ready to D.I.G.

On Thursday afternoon, the Nakusp Youth Centre hosted a group of like-minded peddle-heads to discuss what the future might look like for the biking community in Nakusp. Cassia Parent, Nakusp Youth Coordinator, invited trail building veterans Nate Lott and Yan Labrecque from Rossland to facilitate the discussions.

Lott and Labrecque have been building trails for six years and run the trail building education program, “D.I.G.2 Ride” (Design Innovate Grow). The group seamlessly switched gears from downhill to park riding, and decided that the focus would be on making a dirt jump park a reality for Nakusp. With the vision identified and decided on, plans were made to continue the discussion with an onsite visit to the skate park on June 12. “If this is something that the community wants,” Lott commented, “then the community will make it happen.”

JULY Dugan McInness to represent Nakusp at BC Summer Games

Local golfer Dugan McInnes has swung himself into qualifying for the BC Summer Games and will be travelling to Nanaimo to compete against top golfers from around the province.

McInnes developed his game here in Naksup and has worked with golf pro, Scott Allan who “developed my swing and got me to the point where I could drive the ball a far distance,” he said. McInnis also acknowledges the mentorship he has received from Logan Marchischuk and cites participation in Linda Henke’s golf program as an important root of his development.

The M.V. Columbia, B.C.’s newest inland ferry, is now in service, replacing two 40-yearold vessels on the route between Shelter Bay and Galena Bay on Upper Arrow Lake. It can transport 80 vehicles and 250 passengers. The vessel has wider lanes and improved ramp transitions for faster loading and unloading. The sailing time is about 20 minutes. The name ‘M.V. Columbia’ is representative of the location of the ferry, as the Arrow Lakes are widenings of the Columbia River. The name also commemorates one of the first Columbia River Sternwheelers, the SS Columbia, launched in 1891.

Janis Neufeld has earned her golden ticket to Kona Ironman

“It’s really a big deal in the triathlon world,” Janis Neufeld explains regarding her recent qualification for the prestigious Kona Ironman competition in Hawaii this coming October.

Neufeld managed to secure her spot by placing third in her age group at the Coeur d’Alene Ironman race on June 29. Of the 2500 participants only 50 earned their ticket to the big show in Hawaii where they will race a 3.8 kilometre swim, 180 kilometre bike and a 42.2 kilometre run to the finish.

Two forest fires burning in the Slocan Valley are about half way contained, the Southeast Fire Centre says. The two lightning-caused fires are both burning east of Highway 6 and have each grown to 14.5 hectares. Neither fire poses a threat to structures or communities.

AUGUST Kids take over the Music in the Park

It was a glorious day for the Music in the Park event last weekend. Mat Duffus kicked off the festivities with a few magic tricks, after which no audience member was allowed to just sit and watch when the music and dancing began in the afternoon sunshine.

Billed as an interactive folk singer with a set list spanning from 2014 all the way back to 1862, Duffus’ motto is “fun for everyone.”

Systematic hitting adds up to a great tournament

The home opener saw In the Parkers square off against the Saskatchewan Sluggers, a team who have returned to Nakusp after 20 years as part of their family reunion.

Cracks of threatening thunder rang out along with seven minute warning to game time as PFM and Creston Kokanee prepared to do battle for the $1500 cash pot and all the bragging rights for the long weekend. A home run would add up to the win, but the PFM batter spun off a pop-fly which was easily caught by the Creston infield for PFM’s third out and the tournament win.

If you have a child or are the grandparent of a child born in 2014 in Nakusp, please send in their photo with their name and date of birthand we will publish the photos on Thursday, January 22.

Treed bear at Nakusp beach

On August 15 RCMP officers dispatched a bear after it had treed itself near the Japanese Gardens just above the Nakusp public beach. “It is always a last resort to make this decision,” one of the RCMP officers stated, “but our main concern is the safety of the general public.”

Saturday night vandalism

Val Scott opened the General Store Sunday to new and unwelcome graffiti on the buildings outside. Scott enquired on facebook to see if anybody is able to help to identify the person, thanks to a photo she retrieved from security camera footage. “At this time we don’t know who the individuals are,” constable Mark Macaulay of the Kootenay Boundary Regional detachment said in an interview.

Athlete of the Week

SEPTEMBER Summit Lake’s life-size game of Frogger

If only the archaic video game chronicling the trials and tribulations of digital frogs crossing traffic-infested streets had the help of safety-vest wearing flaggers; there would have been fewer squashed frogs by pixelated trucks and a much higher record score. Toad Fest is an event designed to assist with the migration of toads as well as raise awareness about their natural history, habitat, needs and challenges they face. The annual event takes place around the end of August in line with the toads’ natural migration timeline.

Nakusp teachers unite in solidarity

The Arrow Lakes Teachers Association SD 10 is back to picketing. Area teachers are normally in the classroom at this time of year getting down to the business of educating, plus organizing sports and extra-curricular activities. Being on strike has had both positive and negative impact on the teachers who live and work in the district.

Not being in the classrooms, they have had ample time to discuss the issues. If the amount of vehicles driving past with people honking and waving is any indicator of the positive community support, the teachers have it.

The evening was clear as the sun set over the mountains at Nakusp Centennial Golf Club Thursday. A total of 48 men teed off in honor of a fallen friend and his family.

Each of the entry fees and all of the cash prizes were donated back to the RESP fund set up for Courage’s granddaughter the year her grandfather died. Not all of the records were available at deadline however the winner was Steve Likeness who golfed a 40 and will get his name engraved on the Ironman trophy.

Saddleback Church fundraiser for local Mom battling cancer

When Sarah Aspeslet was diagnosed with cancer more than five years ago she had no idea of the financial burden it was about to take on her. Aspeslet, 36, has two children aged eight and 15, and has recently received the difficult news that nobody is ever prepared to hear: her illness has now become untreatable. The Saddleback Church was the location for a garage sale to assist Sarah with her finances. Members of the delegation and the general public were asked to donate items for sale and all items were sold by donation.

OCTOBER

Fire Chief for a day

Music returns to elementary school

A few years ago Nakusp Secondary School changed their timetable from a traditional Monday to Friday format into a rotating eight-day, eight-block model.

The unfortunate byproduct of the rescheduling was the cessation of the elementary band program due to the incompatibility of the high school timetable with the elementary model, which relies on set routine and structure. Once planning for music’s return to NES began, “everything sort of jived.” Paterson explained, “It’s working because of (Patrick MacGibbon)’s skill level and his willingness to take this on, and at the high school Natasha did an amazing scheduling job so Patrick is free in the afternoons to be in the elementary.”

First annual mushroom celebration event sells out

During the Farmers’ Market on Saturday morning the block just north of Broadway was cordoned off for the Mushroom Festival stalls. The Chamber showcased just a sample of what the event is going to grow to become. Just a few hours later, 70 lucky ticket holders were on hand for the first-ever mushroom gala dinners, which sold out early and had many still clambering for extra tickets up until the start time, though there were none to be had. Inside the K2 Rotor Lodge Saturday evening, the restaurant was closed to the general public for the special event. Chef Robert Riedl prepared a three course meal including a Chanterelle mushroom salad, local organic chicken in a creamy mushroom sauce and vanilla pumpkin ice cream topped with maple syrup and walnuts.

Shooting incident ends in death

RCMP have informed the media that 45-year-old Peter de Groot was involved in an “interaction” with two members of the RCMP’s Emergency Response Team (ERT). Chief Supt. Frank Smart released the following statement early this evening: “Earlier today, at approximately 1:20 p.m., two members of the ERT were in an area of Slocan near a gravel pit conducting a search of a cabin. Upon entering the cabin there was an interaction between the subject of the ongoing search and the two ERT members. We can confirm the suspect is now deceased. No police officers nor members of the public were injured.”

Acknowledge the hard work of the players,

Going to bed with glow in the dark hands can be a hazard of the job when the job is crafting a haunted house display. Being unable to wash her hands well enough to remove the glowing paint residue on her skin is just one of the funny stories Betty Fahlman recounts as she leads this reporter on a tour of the locally-famous scary setup she puts on every year. Fahlman has designed and executed a frightful display of creative and macabre curios almost every October 31 since the 1980s.

Burton ladies assist children to Thrive in Malawi

Publishing January 15

Three Burton women have just returned from a trip of lifetime to Lilongwe Malawi.

Mother and daughter JoAnne and Jewelle Alaric and friend Vivien Berry departed Kelowna the morning of October 1, and arrived at their African destination after more than 24 hours of straight flying time. JoAnne was hired to produce a documentary on the Canadian organization Thrive Malawi, who supports Malawi-based Children of Blessing Trust (COBT.) The documentary is slated to be finalized early in 2015 and screenings will be held in Burton and Nakusp, as the group is very thankful for the generous donations of goods and money which made a huge impact on the organization and children halfway around the world.

All other positions were acclaimed: four councilors and five school board trustees, so the only names on the ballot were Karen Hamling and Guy Duchaine for Mayor.

DECEMBER Ornament purchase supports local hospice care

A Christmas tree in need of decorating stands at the Hub International Barton Insurance office at 202 Broadway St. During the month of December, donors can create a memorial to a loved one by writing the name on an ornament provided and hanging it on the tree. The Nakusp Hospice Society erects this tree every year as one of its primary fundraisers. All donations are greatly appreciated and any amount of more than ten dollars will receive a tax receipt.

Revitalizing a lost tongue

On Nov. 21 and 22, eight curious and lucky guests from Nelson, Revelstoke and Nakusp were treated to a linguistic treat in the Aboriginal room of the Nakusp Museum.

They had been invited to gather and participate in a unique learning opportunity to complete modules for a language that hasn’t been spoken or heard in the Arrow Lakes basin for a number of years; nsilxcin, or “peoples speech” of the southern interior Salish people. The curriculum and additional information about the language revival can be accessed online at www.interiorsalish.com.

NSS boys enjoy free trip to Grey Cup

Two Nakusp Secondary School students and their fathers found themselves seated in the stands for Grey Cup held in Vancouver on Nov. 30. Cameron Mackintosh and Tim Barisoff were selected by the principal, Natasha Miles from all of the NSS students based on teacher recommendations. The boys and their fathers, local business owner Coleman Mackintosh and NSS staff member Ken Barisoff left Nakusp Saturday to catch their 37 minute flight from Kelowna to Vancouver.

The entire weekend was sponsored by the BC Lions, who partnered with the Ministry of Education and Pacific Northwest LNG. “We were happy to be selected and gratefully accepted the opportunity,” concludes Ken.

Chamber puts on a festival to remember

“It was great, it’s nice to see all these people out, it’s better than past years,” Elaine Lindsay said during the annual Festival of Lights held Dec. 5. This year instead of the parade heading west down Broadway it traveled east, and revelers were also able to enjoy Christmas carol singing, a night market, food vendors, a chili cook off and two dance performances including the Mythmaker fire dancers from the Slocan Valley. Nakuspians were spoiled for activities, from sampling chili for the cook-off contest benefiting the Heart and Stroke Foundation to buying borscht, mulled wine, hot chocolate with handmade marshmallows, or fresh popcorn at several booths either run by local businesses or raising funds and awareness. Calgarian Daryl Shanks, who is visiting the area, said, “It’s really nice to see so much Christmas spirit in one small village. They did a great job.”
