B.C. Midgets Tier 4 championship wraps up in Nakusp By Claire Paradis Arrow Lakes News

The B.C. Midget Tier 4 Championship blew through town last week, whipping Nakusp Falcons fans into a frenzy. In preparation for the March 18-21 games, shops up and down Broadway decorated their windows, welcoming teams from across the province and from the Yukon. At the arena, the hockey-induced excitement intensified, with home team games packing the parking lot with cars and the rink with fans. Stakes for the 50/50 draws were high too, with prizes over $1,000 being given out during Falcons games. Fans decked themselves out and painted their faces in Falcons colours, blew horns and hollered their hearts out for the home team for these few days over spring break. After a Saturday night banquet, the hockey started 10:30 a.m. on Sunday morning, March 18. First up were the Fort St. James Stars against home team Nakusp Falcons. Scoring early, the first goal went to the Stars’ D. Sheeham less than 30 seconds into the game. It was their first and only goal of the game, first tied by Z. Friedenberger then topped by M. Hascarl in the first period. The second period saw the only other goal, which was scored by Falcons’ K. Nishida. Later that night, the opening ceremonies were held before Nakusp faced the Chetwynd Giants. All six

teams lined the ice showing their colours for the tournament’s official opening. There was a moment of silence in memory of the passing of Ben Big Canoe, a long-time minor hockey fan. His wife Christine Big Canoe commemorated her late husband by taking part in a ceremonial puck drop. Then, it was Giants versus Falcons. Nakusp was ahead two goals by the end of the first period, with the spread increasing four to zero by the end of the second. Early in the third period, Chetwynd player R. Spoklie scored their sole goal, which was followed by six more goals by Nakusp. Friedenberger scored four of Nakusp’s ten, with K. Nishida, R. Bateman, D. Hascarl and D. Devin supplying the rest. The next night, it was Saanich Braves against Nakusp Falcons, an evenly matched game with hardwon goals on both sides. H. Kincross scored the first goal for Saanich, but a power play goal by R. Bateman tied it up in the first. D. Hascarl and D. Devlin scored in the second, with Saanich coming back to tie it up with goals by R. Rhynas and G. Soloman. In the third period neither goalie let any shots in, and the score remained a 3-3 tie. Tuesday night’s game saw Falcons taking on the Kelowna Rockets. The first goal was scored nearly a minute and a half into the game by Kelowna’s

Hascarl tying it up in the first period. The next goal was scored in the second by J. Pankiw for the Rockets. D. Hascarl answered Kelowna’s goal again in the third period, making it 2-2. Kelowna delivered three more pucks into the Falcons’ net, one of which made an unpredictable bounce over the Falcons’ goalie’s shoulder. The result was a 5-2 score for the Rockets.

On the final day, the Nakusp Falcons competed with the northernmost team, the Whitehorse Mustangs. The Mustangs started off the scoring with a goal by T. Charlie in the first. Nakusp answered with three goals in the second period by C. Reimer, R. Bateman and J. Streliev. G. Aird scored one more for Whitehorse in the second, making the score 3-2. The third period saw Nakusp

score five more times, with goals by M. Zorn, D. Hascarl, Q. Volansky, and M. McCoy (2), while Whitehorse put two more in, thanks to S. Roberts and G. Aird. Nakusp was just shy of the final game, coming in third over all. At the end of the game, the Mustangs who had travelled very far to get to Nakusp, were

Reactions swift, and mixed, to Jumbo resort approval By Claire Paradis Arrow Lakes News

More than two decades after it was first proposed, the Jumbo Glacier Resort has received a nod of approval from the provincial government. The proposed resort would operate year-round thanks to the glacier located on Crown land 55 kilometres from Invermere. Reaction to the announcement has been swift and mixed. The BC Chamber of Commerce applauded the move, seeing it as a step toward expediting the approval of large-scale projects. “This project has been reviewed to death,” President and CEO of the BC

Chamber of Commerce John Winter said about the 22-year wait for approval by the B.C. government. “Where major projects are concerned, we very much hope that this is a harbinger of things to come,” commented Winter. Not everyone has seen the announcement as a move in the right direction. Kootenay West MLA Katrine Conroy characterized the approval as a surprising and devastating blow to the area. “People in Kootenay West have written and e-mailed me to say they strongly disagree with building a resort in the Jumbo Valley,” said Conroy. “It doesn’t make sense environmentally or economically.”

3.7 MILLION

REASONS TO BE A MEMBER.

In a statement to the press, Conroy claimed that the project’s proponent doesn’t have a financial backer. “So this project has no support and no money, but the government is determined to try and force it through,” Conroy said, who also remarked that making the announcement in Victoria rather than coming to face the people in the area was very disrespectful. Alex Atamanenko, Member of Parliament for BC Southern Interior also voiced his dismay at Jumbo’s approval. “The Liberal government has seen fit to make this decision in spite of years of fighting against the development of Jum-

bo by communities and individuals,” said the NDP MP. Not only that, Atamanenko sees this as the wrong time to be starting a project that will put more expense on taxpayers. “The Jumbo resort is being proposed in a region that already has a dozen ski resorts within 150 kilometres. The proposed access road upgrade is at great taxpayer expense. Climate change is a fact of life. Why the province chose to make this decision at this time is incomprehensible. Which British Columbians are benefitting from this project?”

The legislation gives the provincial government the authority to impose heavy fines for strike action during

an imposed six-month cooling-off period. A second member vote would have to be held with majority support before the union approves any strike action that would defy Bill 22 and trigger fines of $1.3 million a day for the union and $475 a day for individual teachers. Year-end report cards will be

Geothermal presentation coming to Nakusp

Nakusp Councillor Guy Duchaine will put on his sustainability hat when he puts on a geothermal talk as part of Geoxergy April 2. CLAIRE PARADIS/ARROW LAKES NEWS

By Claire Paradis Arrow Lakes News

Guy Duchaine has had a passion for green technology for a long time now. He and his family have been recycling and composting “forever,” in his words. It all started when he was stationed up north with the army and saw some real environmental ugliness, thanks to some inconsiderate contractors who saw the frozen north as a wasteland where they could dump their unwanted garbage. “I’ve seen waste at its worst,” he said. That conviction stayed with him and helped him embrace more environmentally friendly technologies during his time with the Department of Highways and while he was working on the Coquihalla. “We started to use beet juice and brine instead of chemicals to deal with ice,” he said, a much better solution in his eyes than using chemicals on the roads that would be washed into the streams and affect the fish and wildlife. Guy Duchaine is bringing his passion for green technologies to Nakusp April 2 when area residents will have a unique opportunity to learn more about geothermal green technologies. His company Geoxergy will be coming to town to give a talk on the subject at the Emergency Services Building from 7 to 9 p.m. But Duchaine isn’t just bringing the company to town to spread the word about geothermal technologies, he’s planning on setting up their British Columbia headquarters here in Nakusp. Having recently completed a project in Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast where they built a geoexchange system for the village that residents can hook into in order to heat their houses, Geoxergy saw that there was enough demand out west to set up an office. For Duchaine, this was a golden opportunity to bring his green business home to Nakusp. “We could settle in Vancouver, but it would cost us an arm and a leg,” said Duchaine. Not only that, but due to the nature of the business, an office can be set up anywhere internet and cell phone service

are available. “It doesn’t make sense to travel,” said Duchaine. Most business communications can be done more cheaply and quickly in a video teleconference call, which reduces the amount of stress on both the traveler and the environment, he said. “I can work two hours on the computer, then go cross country skiing or to the hot springs,” said Duchaine, “It’s a quality of life issue.” The Geoxergy CEO also sees a potential office here as a real draw for employees who would enjoy the “fringe benefits” of living in a beautiful environment to raise a family. “It’s a good business decision,” confirmed Duchaine, who can take care of the administrative affairs right from home. Geoxergy is in a good position to spread the word about green technologies too. The company has done projects ranging in scale from single private homes to large shopping complexes. Once a project is seen as worthwhile, the next stage is designing the appropriate system. “Design is key,” Duchaine stressed, “A system that is too powerful is just as bad as one that isn’t powerful enough.” Although Geoxergy is capable of doing large projects, they are still keen on introducing homeowners to geothermal alternatives, part of their aim to “green” as much of the planet as they can. “We’ve got to go green, and stop using fossil fuels,” said Duchaine. He conceded that fossil fuels may be needed in some industry still, but that people should reduce their use of them as much as possible, not only because they are a non-renewable resource but also because they come with some nasty side effects. The third and final portion of a project is implementation, and Geoxergy tries to hire local contractors or subcontractors who have the necessary equipment for the job. Duchaine emphasized that his company has the ability to teach as well, and have helped contractors get outfitted for geothermal work. Each project is unique, and Geoxergy helps their clients achieve the highest energy efficiency that they are able. “Everything depends on the situation,” said Duchaine. Getting a client to be as green as possible can include informing them of everything they can do to be more energy efficient, like changing their light bulbs to ensuring their windows are well insulated. For Duchaine, every undertaking is about people, something that he also took away from his days in the military. “People make things happen, not leaders,” he said, “Leaders give people the opportunity to succeed.” Taking people out of the picture, along with poor communication skills, is what makes businesses fail, Duchaine cautioned. People want to do their best, and a good company lets people do their best. “It’s all about people,” he said. Duchaine and Geoxergy are bringing geotech to the people on the evening of April 2.

Elderly drivers offered road test option By Tom Fletcher

Black Press

Drivers more than 80 years old who fail a computerized test of their mental ability will now be offered a road test before they have to surrender their licences. Attorney General Shirley Bond announced the road test option Monday after complaints from people who lost their driving privileges based on a computer test called DriveABLE. Some elderly people with little computer experience found the touch-screen tests of cognitive ability to be unfamiliar and unfair way to test them. The DriveABLE test has is administered on referral from doctors who detect cognitive impairment in patients that may affect their driving. Bond said those who failed the onscreen test in the past six months will be offered a free road test, using a test car with dual brakes. Those who failed more than six months ago have to see their doctor before being reassessed. NDP public safety critic Kathy Corrigan was surprised to hear that the DriveABLE program is now being “peer reviewed,” a step that she

said the government should have taken before the service was contracted for B.C. Corrigan said the road test option is a step in the right direction, but details of that haven’t been made public yet. Bond also announced that a new DriveABLE assessment centre will be opened in Cranbrook, making 18 locations in B.C. A new mobile service is also in the works, so people in rural areas don’t have to travel as far to be tested. The DriveABLE test uses a terminal with a touch screen to measure mental abilities. In the first stage, the driver holds down a button until a shape appears on either the left of right side of the screen. The subject has to release the button and touch the shape as quickly as possible, to test reaction time and accuracy of movement. Another stage tests ability to notice changes at the edge of the field of vision, simulating pedestrians and traffic signs. The test subject must make a decision about a word in the centre of the screen, and also report the location of a target that appears at the same time in a different area of the screen.

OP/ED

Harris takes umbrage at charcterization Editor, David Suzuki misleads readers when he writes: “[T]he revelation that Ottawa’s Carleton University hired Tom Harris, a PR man for a number of ‘astroturf’ groups with a mechanical engineering background, to teach a course on climate change.” It is old news, not a ‘revelation’, that I taught a climate course at Carleton for the past three years. I was hired because of my teaching and science background as well as my decade of working with the course originator and primary author, Professor Tim Patterson, a leading academic and climate researcher at Carleton. I am not a “PR man.” Like Suzuki, I engage in public education. I have solid training and experience in thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid mechanics, all relevant to understanding the causes of climate change. How does David Suzuki’s biology background equip him to comment so loudly on the immensely complex atmospheric/ oceanic climate system? Calling me “a PR man,” and referring to those on our side of the debate as “deniers,” as Suzuki

does, are uncivilized ad hominem – against the man – attacks. The “deniers” label is usually an attempt to equate those who question political correctness on climate change to Holocaust deniers. Any of the 1,500 students who took my course at Carleton understand this to be a logical fallacy unworthy of serious debate. Regardless, we do not deny climate change, we simply question its causes. The International Climate Science Coalition (ICSC), the one (not ‘a number of’) group I have led since early 2008, is anything but an ‘astroturf’ group. Contrary to the situation at the David Suzuki Foundation, ICSC has never been funded by industry. As one of Canada’s leaders, Suzuki should be promoting an intellectual climate that encourages constructive debate. Attacks against groups and individuals are not helpful.

Environmental stewardship society asks how’s your water? By Hans Dummerauf

Special to the Arrow Lakes News

With the advent of spring run-off just around the corner, “how’s your water?” will soon be a discrete topic of engagement for at least some concern for residents not served by a public utility, and that accounts for half of all Arrow area households besides Nakusp. Those that rely on their own surface or ground water system often overlook the aspect of the quality of water they, their family, and guests are availed for drinking, personal hygiene such as brushing one’s teeth, hand washing, and food preparation. Although not many of us drink eight tall glasses daily as recommended by Health Canada in order to maintain

good bodily function, we all know that good clean water is an essential element to all health and well being. This beckons the question: what is good clean water in the eye of the freshet phenomena? During the spring freshet the presence of diseasecausing strains of bacteria, viruses, protozoa, or physical and chemical levels are potentially most extreme. Just because your water looks, tastes and smells clean doesn’t necessarily mean it is. Environment Canada recommends having your water tested annually, yet most individuals are reluctant to do so for a variety of unorthodox reasons. We seem to have a keen concern for our health when it comes to food, air, and the health care system but appar-

ently not so when it comes to drinking surface or ground water. For example, the effects of drinking water contaminated with coliform bacteria such as Fecal or E. coli are a serious health concern, due to the increased risk of contracting a water-borne illnesses such as Giardiasis or ‘beaver fever’ where flue-like symptoms can be spread personto-person. Such contamination is real and a darn good reason a public utility would be issued an all-familiar boil advisory or even an order. Now in our third year, ALESS has been providing domestic water testing service and results indicate that 37 per cent of samples collected throughout the Arrow area tested positive for coliforms. As with public utilities, these waters should be boiled, the system disinfected by chlorinated shock treatment and tested three consecutive times to ensure the system is bacteria free. Confirmation tests are seldom done. Other reasons for issuing the wrath of a water advisory or order include a disruption in the delivery system due to construction and repairs, and turbidity levels – a measure of suspended solids. Sample testing done by ALESS have consistently shown these levels far exceed the recommended safe guidelines. Interior Health Units are responsible for issuing boil advisories or orders governing public utilities and organizations that tend to serve the general public and, as such, become public record. What Arrow community, campground or resort has es-

caped the wrath of an advisory or order? None, yet those responsible for their own systems have spent the last thirty years drinking water that has never been tested. More intense testing of wells, particularly in the Burton area has shown high iron content. Although published guidelines consider this presence to be aesthetic in nature and a significant health benefit in small amounts, it nevertheless can be a nuisance by staining laundry cloths, discolouring water and accumulating in plumbing fixtures, sometimes clogging them. Water containing high manganese levels and excessive iron content should be filtered and not boiled as this may increase concentration. Both metals can increase the growth of unwanted bacteria that form a slimy coating in water pipes and should therefore be disinfected with chlorine as a minimum treatment since filtration alone will not destroy bacteria. The most common sources of iron and manganese in groundwater are naturally occurring, although industrial effluent, acid-mine drainage, sewage and landfill leachate may also contribute to local groundwater. Interestingly, the majority of Burton’s private wells are located downhill from past gold mine activities, septic systems, highways salted road sand stockpiles, and the discontinued landfill site. Certain other metal, physical and chemical levels exceeding the Canadian Drinking Quality Guidelines may increase the risk

of developing anemia or kidney failure, urinary tract infection, cancers of the skin, bladder, kidney and lungs; diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, dementia or Alzheimer’s – just to name a few; and may take as many as twenty years or more to develop. On a brighter note, well proven etiology reports that osteoporosis decreases as calcium intake from drinking water (including milk and milk products) increases; increased levels of magnesium in drinking water are associated with decreased occurrence of cardiac disease. Keeping in mind that ALESS’s main function as trained and certified water quality monitors is to capture a scientific footprint of the quality of water flowing through Burton’s watersheds, ALESS encourages to have your domestic water tested – or analysed, if you will, to determine if your surface or well water is safe to drink according to the Canadian Drinking Water Quality Guidelines. With approval from BC’s Interior Health Officer, our roll to offer testing service goes beyond just the stringent collection, packing and shipping protocols as required by an analytical laboratory; we help to make sense of the lab results and offer some helpful hints to correct any anomalies if needed. And best of all, the results are completely confidential ... no government intervention because only you are solely responsible for your own water. Get to know what’s in it. It’s your water - your health.

Savour the flavour of locally-made Jennifer Chocolates this spring By Claire Paradis Arrow Lakes News

Time marches on, right into spring. And one of the rites of spring will be happening at the end of the first week of April, the chocolate holiday known as Easter. No matter what your religious stripe, chocolate in springtime is a great way to ring in a new season. Nakusp has been blessed with many chocolate talents, the most recent of which is Jennifer Zobel, who is now selling her divine delights, Jennifer Chocolates at the Cutrite Meats deli. I caught up with Zobel as she was replenishing her stock at the store last Friday, March 23. She had brought a large box stuffed with new goodies for the display near the counter. In it there were chocolate bars with dried fruit and nuts, boxes of colourful truffles with ingenious flavour combinations, and chocolate shaped like eggs. It was a chocolate extravaganza, and Zobel invited everyone in the place to join in. On a tray she had placed cherry truffles and chocolate-dipped pretzels as samples, and everyone was encouraged to try them. Helping myself to a cherry truffle, the first thing that struck me was how pretty the little dark brown ball was, with its bright red swirl on top. Its looks didn’t save it, though, and biting into the bundle proved to be the real joy. Zobel uses only dark chocolate in her creations, and the truffle was rich but not overpoweringly sweet. The ganache centre slowly melted into a cherry haze in my mouth. Soon, too soon, the bite had melted away and I was forced to eat the other half. It was supremely satisfying, just the perfect amount of sumptuous flavour. Zobel started making chocolates two Christmases ago for her family, who were soon clamouring for more. While exploring the online chocolate world, she ran across a 12-week course offered by École Chocolat, a chocolatier-training company run by Pam Williams in Vancouver. Through the course, Zobel has been learning professional chocolatier skills, from sourcing chocolate to quality assurance to developing a business plan. “There’s a whole world of chocolatiers,” Zobel revealed. It was in this world that she found a marriage of fine art and fine foods that she fell in love with. The seeds of the love affair actually started when she was living in Costa Rica and was a stark contrast to her computer-based work doing internet marketing for a travel website. “I was ready to throw the computer out the window,” Zobel confessed. Life in the tropical climes wasn’t everything it might appear to be, either. “Living in Costa Rica sounds idyllic,” she said, “but after four or five years it was isolating.” The combination of working at home and being an immigrant struggling to learn the language and fit in to the culture was difficult. Her blue eyes and fair colouring also instantly marked her as different, and made assimilation a challenge too. When she and her husband split up last year,

Zobel decided to spend a summer in Nakusp, something that she had always done as a child, coming to visit her aunt and uncle away from the hustle and bustle of Toronto. Her return to Canada was a very happy one. “Canada! I love Canada,” Zobel effused, “ You don’t know how much you love it until you go away and return.” Coming to beautiful Nakusp was even better than moving to a city, she added, because people are so friendly and welcoming. At first, Zobel assumed she would have to get another executive office job, but she decided to follow her love and pursue the path of chocolatier instead. “I was sick of the internet,” she said, “I wanted to touch and feel and smell, get my senses involved.” And with that, she dove into chocolate. What she found was the whole town supported her in the leap. Starting only with a few Christmas fairs, she quickly gained a following among local chocolate lovers. The positive reaction from the community has inspired her to keep going. Even the so-called “competition” was encouraging. Zobel sat down with the widely-known and much-loved Grandma Fay to talk about the local chocolate market share. The two sweet ladies agreed that they were aiming for different clients, with Fay making mostly milk chocolate and Zobel specializing in dark “adult” flavours. “What a dream if I could actually keep it going,” Zobel said, who now would like to have chocolate become her full-time job for all the seasons of the year. At the moment, her chocolate dream is parttime, and Zobel supplements her income by cooking at Halcyon House, and will be working with Ange Carson up at the Paddy Shack this summer. In order to help her dream of being a full-time chocolatier come true, she has started a website where she takes orders online and ships all over Canada. Locals can save shipping fees by stopping by the Cutrite Deli or by calling Zobel for a custom order. Zobel loves to experiment combining flavours, and has tried putting everything from pine mushrooms to whiskey to brie in chocolate for custom orders, and just for fun. Not everyone is up for some of her creations, she discovered when she included a “Mayan” chocolate in a mixed box. The “Mayans” contained a picante combination that included ancho chiles and cinnamon which surprised a lot of people, some in not such a positive way. Assorted boxes no longer contain the “Mayan,” but Zobel can whip some up as part of a custom order, if they so desire. The latest chocolates to be put on the shelves were a new spring collection wrapped in a bright green box. Lavender, honey, rose and raspberry, and mint are the refreshing flavours of the lovely little truffles. I celebrated the Spring with a dried blueberry and almond bar of chocolate.

Ambassadors Whitney ShkuratoďŹ&#x20AC;, Chelsea Fisher, and Danielle Aeichele join Mayor Hamling and Elsa Kennelly as part of the Canadian Cancer Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daďŹ&#x20AC;odil campaign this April. CLAIRE PARADIS/ARROW LAKES NEWS

Nakusp Ambassadors have been knocking on doors, drumming up support for the Canadian Cancer Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national daffodil campaign by taking orders for the flowers. The Village of Nakusp Council is doing its part, and has declared April as Daffodil Month and April 27 as Daffodil Day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all been touched by cancer. In fact, two in five Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime and one in four will die,â&#x20AC;? said Gail Ponto, Canadian Cancer Society spokesperson. Mayor Karen Hamling and the Ambassadors join Elsa Kennelly, a Canadian Cancer Society volunteer and cancer survivor in the campaign. Kennelly has been giving her time to the Society for 15 years, and spreading awareness of the services it offers. The Society is asking all Canadians to join the fight and wear the daf-

fodil pin, a bright and hopeful symbol of support for those affected by cancer and a remembrance of those lost to the disease. On Daffodil Day, April 27, the Society is encouraging people to mark the day by doing something special living with cancer or to contribute in some way to fight against the disease. Daffodils will be for sale at the Overwaitea as part of the fund raising effort. Ten stems of the lively flowers are being sold for $5. The funds raised will go toward support services for people living with the disease and their friends and family. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in more information, contact Rhonda Palmer, the program coordinator, at 250-2653779. A mobile screening mammography service is also coming to the Arrow Lakes Hospital May 1-3. Women are encouraged to call 1-800-663-9203 to book an appointment. No doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s referral is needed for women 40-79.

The long road back for Nakusp snowboarder By Samuel Dobrin

Black Press

On the way to achieving her dreams, a severe injury set back her goals of competing in the 2010 Olympics. Now, after four years of recovery, she’s set her boots back into the bindings of her snowboard and her eyes once again on the goal of representing Canada in boardercross. “I’ve missed the culture, I’ve missed the lifestyle, the competition. I love the sport, I love boardercross, so it’s been really fulfilling to be back,” said Jesse McDonald. Having competed in three boardercross races this year, McDonald is showing a strong return having placed first in two races at Red Mountain and second at a race at Big White. McDonald — who grew up in Nakusp — says she’s been taking it easy so far this season by competing in smaller provincial level events, but will head to nationals next month, which will give her more accurate feedback as to where she stands in the field. While her snowboarding career is starting to get back on track it’s been a difficult journey for McDonald. “I started doing boardercross when I was 11-years-old, but when I was 18 I had a really bad injury,” she said. “We were in Austria training when it happened. Originally it was a torn ACL, a really common injury, so back in 2008 when I did that I kind of thought it would be a quick recovery, but then it was a torn meniscus and then I was diagnosed with chronic pain. Ever since then I’ve been diligently doing physiotherapy and seeing specialists all over the country and four years later I’m just getting back.” At the time she was on the BC team, but had competed internationally and even raced a World Cup. “That was back when they had Project 2010 and I was targeted for the Olympics and was getting tons of funding. It was awesome, I was right in the prime of my snowboarding career… but then the injury happened.” “It’s the most difficult thing I’ve ever had happen to me,” said McDonald. In hindsight, she says that there were also positive outcomes from her injury. “It made me realize that it’s 100 per cent what I want to do, what I want to train for. I’m so eager to get back and I’ve got all this new motivation and it’s definitely made me love the sport.”

“I was 18 when I had my injury, I’m 21 now and in those years anyone’s going to grow, but I’ve really overcome a lot,” she said, adding that to do so, she’s had help along the way. “I was referred to a physiotherapist here in Nelson, Damien Moroney. He’s been with me ever since day one, my coach as well, Chris Nakonechny, and my family.” McDonald says that after she competes at nationals next month she’ll head to South America for more training and ﬁtness camps. “It’s cool because when we’re training for boardercross we don’t just go on a track, we’ll go in the park in Whistler and hit jumps or we’ll go hit drops and cliffs, we’ll do groomers, practice carving, ride rollers… boardercross covers every single aspect of the sport,” said

McDonald. A veteran boardercross Olympian whose example has inspired McDonald is that of Maelle Ricker. “She’s a veteran, she won gold in the 2010 Olympics, she’s had numerous knee surgeries and she’s definitely someone I look up to,” said McDonald. Despite having missed her first chance, McDonald still has her eyes set on one day competing in the Olympics. “When I was younger my motivation was always 2010 Olympics, that was where I saw myself.

March 31, 1932 Axle grease

PUBLIC INPUT MEETING

A prairie farmer says that this spring he will use dairy butter to grease his farm implements, instead of paying thirty cents per pound for axle grease. All he can get for his butter is ten cents per pound. Finding that it is equally effective as a lubricant as the axle grease he formerly bought, he will be putting the butter to good use.

Columbia Basin Trust Community Initiatives and Affected Areas Programs Project applicants for Columbia Basin Trust’s Community Initiatives and Affected Areas Programs are presenting their proposals to the public on the following dates: AREA

March 27, 1952 A Logger’s Snowman, By Frank A Logger made a snowman, and stood him near a tree, Molded him with moss and bark, a funny sight to see. Put a hard top hat upon his head, then handed him an axe, Take it easy Mr. Snowman, until you learn the facts. At supper time a man walked in, I want some grub he said, Can you expect a man to work, without him being fed? The cook, a gentleman at heart, gave him what bones he had, Well, good night, Mr. Snowman, you are a fortunate lad. The Snowman headed up for the woods and sized up his first tree, The snow kept getting in his eyes, he had quite a job to see. He tromped the snow around the tree so he could safely flee, Behind a stately fir or larch, or other nearby forest tree. Again he sighted up the tree to find it didn’t lean, Neither to the North or South, such a tree he had never seen. Its mighty top cast shadows that shaded the country round, And the swaying of the tree trunk quaked a half a mile of ground.

Each phase of the Rotary’s senior accommodation project brought Nakusp and district citizens closer to the goal where aﬀordable housing could be oﬀered. The completion of the Rotary addition in 1981 was as valuable as all the others and welcomed by those who in turn gave thanks to the clubs members. Opening day ceremonies included government dignitaries plus Lorraine Simrose, Randolf Harding and Jim Boates. PHOTO COURTESY OF THE ARROW LAKES HISTORICAL SOCIETY

The loggers went out next morning to see what their snowman had done, He promised to be in for breakfast, before the start of the rising sun. But their snowy snowman vanished somewhere in the snowy waste, Leaving his axe behind him, perhaps in anxious haste.

March 25, 1992 Most district parents favour condom machines in schools

COME PLAY WITH US

March 30th, 1962 Nakusp merchants want main street washed to keep dust out of stores

Most people surveyed in School District 10 supported the proposal to have condom vending machines in district high schools. The School District surveyed one out of every three parents with children in grades 7 to 12 in the district. The survey also indicated that parents, students and other community members feel strongly that condoms should be made available by machines in various other locations in the area. Most respondents also felt that the Ministry of Health should assume more over all responsibility for public education with respect to sexually transmitted diseases and want to se the same or more information provided to students on methods to reduce or prevent AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases. Many of the surveys returned also contained written comments.

Aug. 21 to 25, 2012

Some of the Nakusp merchants were seen cleaning up the street in front of their premises this week. The dust from the street is always very bad in early spring a sand applied in winter, becomes dust. Usually the Fire Brigade spend a night or two in hosing down the street for this purpose, but this year due to lack of funds for gasoline have not done so. The Chamber has applied to the Dept. of Highways for assistance in this matter.

Unbelievable, Capricorn. You set a goal, you devised a plan of attack, and for the first time ever, you held fast and succeeded. This calls for a feast with all the trimmings.

Be positive, Aquarius. Think something will go wrong, and it most certainly will. Trust that you selected the right people and do your part.

Come off it, Pisces. You made a mistake, but you didn’t do it deliberately. Give yourself a break. No one else is worked up about it, so why should you be?

Crazier things have happened, Aries. If you want to do something, do it. Don’t let others’ underestimation of you keep you from trying something new.

Drama unfolds. Don’t get sucked in, Taurus. Plug your ears and focus on the job at hand. This is one situation that is bound to end badly.

All right, Gemini. You learned to pinch your pennies and you’re in a better situation than you have been in some time. A celebration is in order.

Pace yourself, Libra. Move too fast and you’ll risk making a serious mistake. Move too slow, and you’ll risk losing out on the project altogether. Find a happy medium.

Savvy Scorpio. You know just what to say when an opportunity arises and it’s yours for the taking. Congrats! Travel is on the agenda. Don’t say no.

Use it or lose it, Sagittarius. There are many resources available. Only one of them will seal the deal. A home improvement project is put on the back burner.
