Nakusp water and sewer rates to increase for 2013 Claire paradis Arrow Lakes News

Nakusp residents will see a hike in their water and sewer rates this year. The proposed increases brought to the table during the last council meeting on Jan. 14 were 10 per cent for sewer and five per cent for water. Water and sewer classifications have also been given a general overall review, and changes to the rate structure are to be put into place before the rates are set for 2013. Although it has been acknowledged that a complete review of the rate structure should not be completed until the outcome of the CBT WaterSmart program (e.g. assessment of the feasibility of water metering) is determined, it is still prudent to give a general overview of the rate structure. Discussion about the change in rate structure and the increase covered a lot of ground and addressed issues ranging from the state of the economy to the necessity of building up reserve finances. Starting off with the changes in rate struc-

ture, Chief Financial Officer Rob Richards brought up the fact there has been an issue keeping water and sewer rates consistent. Having done research in tandem with Public Works, the CFO explained there were 780 accounts but 1,700 services billed in the Village system. Some situations where a discrepancy was discovered in the course of research, such as instances where either water or sewer weren’t being charged, have been rectified, and billing will reflect the correction of those errors, the CAO told council. Typically the ratio between water and sewer in Nakusp is that for every $120 charged for water, $100 is being charged for sewer, the CFO explained. Category rates were examined and brought into line with this ratio. Changes to categories for water and sewer rates were proposed, such as structuring rates for water-intensive businesses, to reflect the realities of usage. For instance, rates will be based on the number of washing machines in a laundromat or bays at a car wash rather

Some new categories will be created to increase the accuracy of billing, while others will be collapsed where different categories are redundant. CAO Tynan said the structure changes are

also meant to bring consistency to the rates charged for water and sewer. “We’ll be able to get more information in

Nakusp Secondary students’ fishing flasher project attracts attention Claire paradis Arrow Lakes News

With bright fishing flasher in hand, Emma Cunningham and Whitney Shkuratoff brought the Outdoor Education fund raising project to council Jan. 14. NSS students are spearheading a project to raise money by making and selling fishing flashers which the students will be taking to an upcoming trade show down at the coast. “It’s completely student driven,” said Cunningham, “Mr. Boswell is just there as a supervisor. The students take it on as their own project.” The flashers come from a design Outdoor Ed. teacher Dorian Boswell came up with after seeing something similar and subsequently improved upon. Last year students sold about 100 flashers at $40 apiece. “It’s really good for Dollies,” Cunningham, who was planning to be part of the Blue Knuckle Fishing Derby on the weekend, testified. The students have been building the fishing accessories for about two years now, and took part in a trade show last

year. This year, they’re putting their flasher on the market, taking them to sell at the trade show. Approximately 2,000 people come through the doors each day of the show, giving a lot of exposure to the students’ project, and the village. “This year, we rented two booths,” Cunningham told council. “one for flashers, the other to advertise Nakusp.” The Chamber of Commerce, the Nakusp Rodeo, and other places around town are already sold on the idea and have contributed promotional materials for the booth. The bait on the hook was Cunningham’s next question: What would the Village of Nakusp like to put in the booth? Mayor Karen Hamling said the Village would definitely want to put something about the Nakusp Hot Springs in the booth. The mayor also made it clear that although Council can’t fund projects like this, they would be able to help by lending a booth for the students to take to the show. Boswell said one thing the students are looking for is a point-of-sale machine

so they can take credit card payments for flashers. Suggestions were made that a local business that might be able to help. Boswell said there is a lot of enthusiasm in town for the project. “We’re getting lots of support for this and it looks like it’s going to be a good experience for the kids. It’s all student driven,” he told council. “Students are making the promotional video, they’re doing the signs, they’re doing the slogans, they’re making the things, they’re marketing it. They have to do the accounting, they have to set up the booths, they have to figure out how to get down there; this is all them.” Both the Chamber of Commerce and the Nakusp Community Foundation have approved funding for the students’ trip to the trade show. “Anybody who wants to advertise anything to do with Nakusp, we’ll take it,” said Boswell, who also mentioned the group is also looking for two bigscreen TVs to take for their display as well. Anyone who has a promotional video or material is welcome to get in touch with the Outdoor Education class and Dorian Boswell.

Loggers get tax break, bailout fund Black Press

Logging contractors compensated for loss of work when the B.C. government bought back forest tenure from big timber companies 10 years ago will get nearly $10 million in federal tax repaid to them, Premier Christy Clark announced Friday. Speaking to the Truck Loggers’ Association convention, Clark said the tax break was agreed to by federal finance officials after the latest plea from B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong. The tax bill for 300 logging

contractors has been a sore point for the industry since the B.C. government undertook a sweeping reorganization of Crown timber licences in 2003. A trust fund paid out $71 million after harvest licences were taken back from large companies to offer community and aboriginal logging projects. The B.C. government later moved to exempt the compensation payments from provincial income tax, but Ottawa continued to treat the money as taxable income until now. Clark also updated the audience on her pledge from last year to establish a fund to pro-

tect logging contractors who supply timber and don’t get paid when a mill operator goes broke. She said the $5 million announced last year is now available for payments if required, and more money will be added as the government can afford to Clark’s speech had a campaign flavour, starting when she was introduced to a packed house of logging company executives with an invitation to come back again next year. It was the 70th annual TLA convention, which is traditionally closed with an address by the premier of the day.

Increase in water and sewer rates debated During council’s debate it was noted that although increases in rates may be difficult for taxpayers in light of increases of other rising rates, funds must be available to keep the utilities going. Water from page 1

the future and refine it again,” said Tynan, with an eye to new data which will become available in the future through programs like the CBT WaterSmart initiative. Swimming pools came up, as did the question if anyone was actually paying the $239 fee. “A lot of these categories we will be following up on,” said Tynan, who acknowledged that the Village needed to work with building inspectors and staff out in the field to discover what was in fact out there. Council voted to approve the proposed changes to the structure of the water and sewer rate classes. Bandying increases about Next, mayor, council and staff tackled the issue of increases to water and sewer rates, with the suggestion from staff being an increase of five per cent for water and ten per cent for sewer. Facilitating the discussion, CAO Linda Tynan highlighted various issues as important and worth clarifying. First, Tynan discussed the difference between water or sewer rates and taxation. Money that comes from water and sewer charges go directly to water and sewer funds, and service the utilities directly including capital expenditure like treatment plants. Taxes, on the other hand, go toward a general fund that may pay for water- and sewerrelated administration, but do not go directly to the utilities. “Rates need to cover all of the operating costs as well as capital projects,” Tynan told council, “Historically across Canada water and sewer rates rates have not been high enough to replace pipes under the ground.”

As council is well aware, she pointed out, many leaks have been discovered in the municipal system, and ongoing maintenance programs are needed for both water and sewer. “We need to determine what our reserves need to be to fix these leaks,” said the CAO. Mayor Karen Hamling spoke up and said that it’s being pointed out at regional government meetings that the regulations coming down are almost unaffordable for communities and that the province and feds need to aware of this when they’re setting these regulations. Tynan said that aging infrastructure is also a major consideration, and that fixing old pipes isn’t a fun thing to fund but needs to be done. The costs for completing the sewer treatment plant have affected both the water and sewer funds, impacting the building of reserves for maintenance and emergency costs and the financing of future projects like the Alexander Rd. water main upgrade. “To have anything less than $500,000 in one of these reserves is a little bit scary,” said Tynan, who pointed out that the potential costs associated with an emergency are generally much greater. Low sewer rates have also had an impact. “It’s almost $100,000 less that we bring in from sewer than water,” noted Tynan, even though operating costs are catching up with water. Hamling asked what an increase of 10 per cent for sewer and five per cent for water will mean in real dollars for taxpayers. At 5.6 per cent and 9.2 per cent increases for water and sewer rates respectively, the

average single family home will pay $42 more per year. Councillor Joseph Hughes asked what the impact would be if the increases could be split more evenly over time, and Tynan replied any increase and how much is at the discretion of the council. Councillor Ulli Mueller also found a ten per cent increase hard to stomach. “There are going to be other increases with regional district and other services, and it adds up,” she commented. “We can’t work our figures on regional district, we’ve got to have the money to run our own services,” countered mayor Hamling. “We’ve gotten in trouble in the past doing that. It’s a balance we’ve got to find.” Taxation, which pays for services, is different in that services can be cut if needed, but rates for utilities which pay for infrastructure maintenance as well as larger projects, can’t be neglected. “I’m worried that we won’t be able to provide what we need to provide,” said Hamling about not approving the recommended increases. Tynan said what needs to be done is to develop a long term financing strategy so planning purposes and greater clarity for the public about their annual rates. However, strategy should be planned once information about metering is available, which is imminent, the CAO said. With Coun. Mueller and Coun. Hughes voting in opposition, the initial reading of the proposed rate increase of five per cent for water and ten per cent passed. A special meeting on Monday, Jan. 21 was held for the final reading.

Notes from Jan. 14 Nakusp council Claire paradis Arrow Lakes News

After a delegation from NSS Outdoor Ed students and a lengthy presentation and discussion about Village water and sewer rates, there was still council work to be done.

Mayor’s report, abridged Mayor Karen Hamling gave the short version of her report, adding only that her request to the Columbia Power Corporation for heritage plaques had been approved. She also reminded that the Community Initiatives applications are available for local groups and that they must be submitted to a regional office. In her report, the mayor also noted that the RDCK board sent a letter to the provincial and federal governments supporting a longterm infrastructure plan. The board also passed a resolution to suspend the intake of acquisition applications from water and wastewater systems until March 31, when it is expected that the Utility Service Delivery report will be complete. BC Hydro’s five-year budget agreement for debris clean up expires on March 31, 2013, so a new agreement is being worked on, said Hamling in her report. Maps have been reviewed to determine priority clean up areas, and due to the high water levels in 2012, the committee is requesting $150,000 to try and clean up as much as possible. The budget request will go to the comptroller for approval.

The RDCK will be putting the animal control contract out for proposals as the current animal control person has decided not to continue, Hamling reported.

Tourism workshop coming soon Councillor Guy Duchaine reminded council that the Tourism 360 workshop and presentation are coming up and space is limited, so anyone interested should register as soon as possible.

NACFOR update Councillor Tom Zeleznik updated the council on NACFOR’s operations. The community forestry outfit has asked for an extension to the cut control period until Dec. 31, 2012 in order to capture approximately 55,000 cubic metres of undercut volume that would otherwise be lost. In other news, the biomass presentation that was scheduled for Jan. 16 was cancelled.

Mobile home zoning change Zoning Bylaw 614, 2008 was amended to change the front, rear and side setback for mobile homes to be 1.8 m, 1.5 m, and 1.5 m respectively, bringing it in line with Bylaw 189, 1978.

NACFOR AGM to be approved

by council

The Village of Nakusp is the sole shareholder of NACFOR, and every year their annual report must be signed by the shareholder. NACFOR has requested they no longer hold an annual general meeting, and rather that the council sign the report. As it is the shareholders’ responsibility to appoint auditors, council also approved the appointment of Berg, Naqvi and Lehman for 2013.

Fosthall powerhouse plans rerouted Councillor Tom Zeleznik informed council that there had been a proposal to build a powerhouse at Fosthall with a line down Saddle Mountain Road across to Crescent Bay that hooked into the substation. “When the power goes out in Nakusp and New Denver it affects a lot of people,” said Zeleznik, and the second line would help keep the power on. Now, the plan has been amended to run a line to Pingston because it would be cheaper, said Zeleznik. The councillor requested that a letter be written explaining the impact of the change and how it would be more beneficial to run the line to the Nakusp substation. Council voted to ask staff to contact the BC Hydro representative as well as send a letter to both the office and Minister for Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations expressing concern.

Tourism talk coming soon Claire paradis Arrow Lakes News

As you’ve likely already know from the posters around town, a large tourism workshop and presentation are coming to town. The presentation entitled “Seven Deadly Sins Communities Make in Tourism,” given by Mike Stolte of CIEL (Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurial Leadership) will address issues in

our community and actions that can be taken. The free talk on Jan. 29 at the Nakusp Arena auditorium covers a range of topics. Not only will the seven most common mistakes that all communities make be raised, but also whether or not our town has a “buzz” and those elusive things that attract and keep people coming back for more. The talk will also examine local branding and whether or not

local businesses and organizations are making the most of traditional and new media in their marketing efforts. A free workshop is being offered for local businesses, government, and interested people on Jan. 30 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Nearly all seats are taken, so if you’d like a spot, contact Peter at 250-265-4625 or email Welkerling@telus.net as soon as possible.

Dogs require leashes only in parks Editor, After reading the letter that appeared in the Arrow Lakes News Jan.16 edition I would like to clarify for the general public the image the writer portrayed of the deceased dog’s owner and her neighbour, Brian Graham. In Mr. Maxfield’s letter he contends that the letters published in the ALN Jan. 9 edition “are a not so subtle attempt to place the onus on the trapper” and “a lot of smoke and mirrors kind of stuff meant to deflect from, perhaps, who is really responsible.” These statements are totally misleading since the sole purpose of publicizing Nikki’s death was to motivate the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to undertake legislative change. Change that would permit the general public to be notified by means of visible signage indicating that active trapping is being undertaken in the vicinity. We certainly agree that the operator of the Baerg Road trap line is remorseful for what occurred on Boxing Day and we all agree that his activity adheres to the current legal trapping requirements. Our objective is not to outlaw or restrict trapping but to effect legislative change with respect to

improved public notification and subsequent awareness. Mr. Maxfield goes on to state that Ms. Hoyle-Szabo “take ownership for not having her dog on a leash as is required by law.” After speaking with Ministerial officials, I would like to clarify that there is no law requiring the general public to leash their dogs on Crown Land except within the defined boundaries of all BC Provincial Parks. The law clearly states that dog owners must keep their animal(s) leashed at all times using a leash of not greater than four feet in length. It is unfortunate that Mr. Maxfield’s Jan. 16 letter contained erroneous information. It is our hope that through thoughtful and positive discussions between the Ministry of FLNR and the BC Trappers Association Executive our personal goal of increased awareness and safety can be achieved without delay. I trust that my comments will clarify our intent of publicizing Nikki’s avoidable Boxing Day death.

John Perkins A Rational View I have been a member of a choir, almost continuously, since I was ten. The hiatus was forced upon me during puberty when my voice changed from treble to alto to baritone, and ultimately bass, skipping tenor, over a period of a year. My school, a very old grammar school in the North of England, the first record of which was in 1320, had had a choir for literally centuries and a wonderful music department. I was introduced to Mozart’s Fifth Symphony at the age of ten, which he had composed when he was ten and I immediately developed a love of all classical music, both sacred and secular, including opera, which has endured until now. I do not acknowledge that my love of so-called sacred music is in any way contradictory to my

atheism despite the protestations of Christians that there must be something lingering in my psyche which yearns for a faith. Rather, the desire of the classical composers who wrote these magnificent oratorios, Handel, Bach, Brahms, Beethoven, Haydn and Mozart was to flatter their patrons all of whom were aristocrats. The patrons were, for political reasons, very ‘religious’ men and it paid, quite literally, to flatter them. One must understand that the patrons were men of considerable wealth, most of it inherited, and were land-owners. They all had a vested interest in the religion of the day, because it, through its practitioners, was able to keep the mostly unlettered mass of peasantry in check. A particularly cogent quotation by Seneca, who lived from 4 BC to 65 AD, says it all: “Religion is regarded by ordinary people as true, by the wise as false and by those who rule as useful.” And now, for something completely different (to quote my very favourite British comedy team – Monty Python, every one of whom is or was an atheist), a short anecdote about Clare Booth Luce, the first U.S. woman Ambassador in history, appointed by President Eisenhower, to serve in Rome. She

Claire Paradis/Arrow Lakes News

was the wife of Henry Luce, the publisher and managing editor of Time Magazine, and she was also a convert to Roman Catholicism. The story goes that shortly after her appointment she visited Pope Pius Xll in the Vatican. She was shown into his study by his private secretary and they were left alone. After about 30 minutes the secretary felt an obligation to his employer to intervene. What he saw as he entered the study shocked him. Pius Xll was backed up into a corner and Mrs. Luce was standing in front of him wagging a finger at the Pope, who was pleading, in Italian, saying;” Ma Signora – sono già cattolico – but Madam, I already am a Catholic.” The whole point of this anecdote is that converts to Catholicism are, by far, the most enthusiastic proselytisers because of their recent discovery of joy in their new faith. The anecdote lacks a certain credibility for those in the know in the sense that Mrs. Luce and Pius Xll were already on friendly terms before her appointment as Ambassador to Rome. The story has meaning for me because it came on the heels of my departure, after living in, and enjoying the many delights of Italy for close to two years.

Bottle drive brings in heaps for 2013 Grads By Teresa Zanier

Special to the Arrow Lakes News

The 2013 grads found themselves surrounded by plastic waiting to be turned into cash on Jan. 12 when they held their fund raising bottle drive. The masses of bagged bottles raked in a gross of $3,312.40, a good day’s work for the students. Their efforts not only brought in money but broke records at the depot. “Can you believe it – Revelstoke Bottle Depot said it was a record total for them!” said volunteer Teresa Zanier. “Not sure if it was a record for here, but so far it looks like it is.” Zanier said Neil Hascarl was a huge contributor to the effort. “Without his help, time and dump truck, the bottles never would have made it to Revelstoke in one trip,” she told the Arrow Lakes News. Participation was high, and just about every grad showed up, Zanier said. “We had to cut the trucks off by 1:30 in the after-

local peace and human rights work, and to raise awareness back home about the human rights abuses being perpetrated by the American-backed war in Iraq. Loney and his three colleagues, fellow Canadian Harmeet Singh Sooden, Norman Kember of Britain, and American Tom Fox, were kidnapped and held hostage in Baghdad in a story that made international headlines. Their 118 days of captivity were the ultimate test of personal strength. All four captives were handcuffed together which made basic physical tasks like sleeping and eating extremely challenging. Additionally, the boredom, the scarcity of food and not knowing whether one would make it out alive, challenged their psychological and spiritual well-being. Loney, Kember and Sooden were rescued in a high profile military operation after 118 days in captivity. Tom Fox, however, had been killed two weeks before their release. Loney’s rescue did not end his relationship with his former captors. Loney, Kember and Sooden publicly forgave their captors at a press conference in 2006. In 2007, Loney and his colleagues refused to testify at the trial of their captors, who were being held in U.S. detention, citing that the prospect for a fair trial was minimal. The event will be held at the Shambhala Music & Performing Hall, at Selkirk College’s Tenth Street campus on Friday, Feb. 8 beginning at 7 p.m. The event will feature a special performance by Castlegar’s Vision of Peace Youth Choir.

New year for Hills Nordic Ski Club off to a good start Contributed by the Hills Nordic Ski Club

About 20 cross-country skiers from Hills, New Denver and Silverton joined in the annual New Year’s Day Bonanza Ski along the rail trail from Summit Lake to Hills. Hills Nordic Ski Club grooms the section through Hills, and skiers keep the trail open to the highway crossing at Summit Lake. “Conditions this winter have been very good,” said Richard Allin. On January 12, the Jackrabbits and Bunnies programs for the Hills Nordic Ski Club began. Presently there are over 20 children from 3-13 years old enrolled in the two ski programs, a great result for such a small club. The coaches this year are Kip Drobish,

Scott Kipkie and Kristin Kipkie. Having Kip in your name is not necessary to become a coach with the Hills Nordic Ski Club, however, and anyone is welcome to sign-up for coaching courses next fall if you have some ski skills and the time to volunteer. We will be needing more volunteer coaches next season. Trails are packed for skiing at Kip and Marcy’s property connecting to Eric and Jill Faulks property in Hills. Non members are asked to sign the waiver that is at the carport at 113 Reibin Rd. where you can park and ski from the top of the driveway. There is a map on a small sign to give guidance. These 3 km of trails are not all flat and they wind through the forest with some lake views. Kids really enjoy some of the little challenges inserted

Nancy Green SLR race at Red Mountain By Sandra Harrison, NGSLR

Special to the Arrow Lakes News

The Nancy Greene Summit Lake Racers started their race season off at Red Mountain Resort in Rossland this last Sunday. The beautiful sunshine and groomed runs made it a perfect day on the hill for

the two NGSLR teams with four coaches who had entered. The race was a dual giant slalom with racers running the two courses back to back. Finn Watt felt his best run was “the red flag side because it was faster!” The two teams gave it all they had and ended with huge smiles at the fin-

ish line. The combined team times placed them with second and third place finishes. Congratulations to Kiley Waterfield for receiving a bronze for her individual time in the U12 girls group. The NGSL racers are home this coming Sunday for another practise and then Feb. 3 they will be off to Salmo.

New youth group takes up SAYOPS keys Contributed by Starbrain Ideally-Also

A new generation is taking the reins up from the Straight Arrow Youth Ops Society (SAYOPS), or rather the keys. As part of recent efforts to make more opportunities for youth in the community, SAYOPS is undergoing an organizational overhaul and the keys to the he Green Door bowling lanes, which burnt down in 2006, are being given to a new board of directors. It all started in the spring of 2012 when Michael Garvey, along with Freedom Quest Regional Youth Services and the youth at PK Nakusp, applied for the Columbia Basin Trust’s Community Youth Development Funds. Learning that the application had been accepted, PK Nakusp and Garvey moved on to the first step of the requirements: holding a public meeting. About 40 people interested in getting something happening for youth in Nakusp attended that first meeting held at Selkirk College in September. Over the course of the meeting, which was facilitated by CBT, it was discovered that what was wanted were a coordinator, a variety of programs for local youth, and a space.

It was determined by the group that the majority of the first year’s funds should be spent on a coordinator. However, it was recognized that an organization willing to sponsor and administer funds was needed, and during subsequent discussions, it was decided that Straight Arrow Youth Ops Society (SAYOPS) be invited to one of the meetings. SAYOPS is the organization that owns the Green Door bowling lanes, which burnt down in 2006. Their centre for youth contained a bowling alley, pizza business, office space with equipment for young people to develop business ideas, and more. SAYOPS attended the first steering committee meeting in November, and after a frank and open conversation about the need for an open and inclusive organization, which makes the most of our community’s diversity, its directors offered to hand the organization over to the new steering committee. While SAYOPS was founded as a Christian organization, the organization’s name, bylaws, and intent can be amended, with the blessing of the past directors. As part of the handover, old SAYOPS is granting new SAYOPS the

Members agreed that if the property is sold, a portion of the sales would revert to the youth branches of the Alliance and Saddleback Churches. The old SAYOPS board also gave $20,000 to the Arrow Lakes Alliance Youth Program to purchase and maintain a 15 passenger van, and is in the process of establish-

ing a youth scholarship ($7,500). The next steps for the new organization are to finalize and submit the CBT paperwork, make any modifications to the organization’s bylaws and constitution, decide on a process for hiring a coordinator, and begin putting together a needs assessment to invite input from the local community. Minutes from meetings will

Second annual Blue Knuckle Derby has easier weather, tougher fishing Claire paradis Arrow Lakes News

The second annual Blue Knuckle Derby took place over Jan. 19 and 20, this year with no blizzard for the fishers to contend against. The water was calm, but the fishing was spottier this year for many too. As of ten minutes after the weigh in time of 4 p.m. on Sunday, the winner with a 12.5 pound rainbow was Jesse Martin. Boats were still coming in slightly after four, but it looked like Martin was holding the title. There were approximately 120 fishers in this year’s contest, and a large number of prizes were handed out to raffle ticket holders. Even though they didn’t walk away with the biggest fish prize, many did bag some quality swag.

Two Cougars battle on court as part of Barrier tournament By Ryan Willman, Athletic Dir.

Special to the Arrow Lakes News

Walking into Barrier Secondary School was like walking into an alternate reality of our own barn. Two giant murals of cougars watched us pass through the front doors of the school and even more cougar images crowded the walls and the floor of the school gym. The senior boys basketball tournament draw pitted the Nakusp Cougars against the Barrier Cougars in the first round of the robin, and upon learning this Kodi Bowman tried to reassure his nervous looking team. “Well, the good news is

that no matter what, Cougars are going to win this one,” he said. Nakusp put on their game faces as they lined up against Barrier but several spastic mistakes in the first few minutes of the fray revealed an inner battle that had to be rectified. The nerves were calmed after Kodi Bowman broke the goose egg with a netted foul shot and once Nakusp was up on the board the boys settled into a solid attack which focused on playing low, taking every advantage to disrupt passing lanes and causing turnovers. Like Kong being swarmed with fighter plans, the Barrier

Cougars were confused and taken aback by the tenacity of the Nakusp boys in blue and the score was kept close at 24-27 at the sound of the half. Realizing that a Cougar is an even match for a Cougar the Barrier team switched tactics and abandoned their hopes of stacking the score with three pointers and moved their star players into a post position under the basket. The shots for Barrier climbed from 32 in the first half to 50 in the second half, and inevitably the score added up in their favour. Nakusp tried to battle back

from the deficit, with Kodi Bowman and Zach Friedenberger trying their best to find ways through the maze of gangly limbs, but a lower shot production found Nakusp on the losing side of 61-53. Being able to look their opponents in the eyes was a confidence booster, and Nakusp proceeded to fall into a successful rhythm of their team assets. The Talons gave Nakusp some trouble in the first quarter as the Cougars struggled to move the ball effectively between the small lanes in the offensive zone, but the Cougars collective athleticism and team-

work found buckets from almost every member and the Cougars enjoyed a comfortable 63-31 win. Nakusp found themselves in a battle for third against the Mustang’s, a very tight squad from Hope. Man for man the two teams were evenly matched, each boasting the ability to move the ball, drive to the basket and deliver the rock from the three point arc. The game was a brutal run for Nakusp as the consent rotation of fresh legs from the Mustang’s wore down our significantly smaller bench. The lead was traded back and forth for three quar-

ters, but the fourth found the Cougars on their last legs. Tired, the boys found it difficult to finish their plays and as a result the score crept slowly away from them. Brier McLean tried to keep a positive mood and after netting a foul shot he turned to our bench and boasted a “100 per cent foul shot percentage” with a grin. The final at the buzzer was a disheartening 56-48, which placed the Cougars fourth in the tournament, but the developing teamwork and the experience gained makes the Nakusp squad an exciting future prospect.
