New Nakusp boat launch construction finally underway Craig Savage
Special to the Arrow Lakes News
After years of lobbying, planning and then waiting for a low water year, the new Nakusp boat launch project is finally in construction. On Feb. 4, about 50 people gathered at the Nakusp Emergency Services Building for a presentation on the imminent Nakusp Boat Ramp Replacement Project. Bill Smith of Columbia Power — the project manager for boat ramp projects in Nakusp, Anderson Point, and Edgewood — presented details on the long-anticipated replacement for the aging wooden structure. Smith announced that Landmark of Salmon Arm, B.C., has been selected as the contractor for the project, and that work would begin immediately. Mayor Karen Hamling said she was pleased with the turnout at the meeting for a project that’s been in the works for seven years with BC Hydro. “I’m happy to see it’s finally going to happen,” she said. There was some other good news as well. Although Columbia Power had made the winning bid subject to a maximum ramp closure of 49 days, Landmark proposed a solution that would shorten that window to only a few days. Their solution was a temporary ramp that would remain in service while the new concrete
ramp is being constructed. Demolition work on the old ramp and construction of the temporary one began on Feb. 5. The temporary ramp is expected to be complete by February 12. Depending on the construction schedule, there may be times of the day that the ramp is not available. Boaters are advised to refer to an information kiosk on the site, which will have information about any ramp closures and phone numbers to call with questions. Columbia Power’s portion of the presentation gave some technical details of the construction process. The current low water levels in the Arrow Lakes, which are near a 10-year low, will allow the new ramp to be built long enough to accommodate almost any foreseeable water levels. However, those low levels have come sooner than normal, which is putting pressure on the contractor to complete the project sooner than anticipated. Should this challenge to the schedule prevent the crew from building the ramp to its full length, it could be completed at some later date when the water returns to these extreme lows. Features of the new ramp will include: a retrofitting of the existing walkway with a cable system to move up and down with the water level, fish habitat areas on each side, and deep V-shaped grooves in the concrete surface for

traction. Although the new ramp will not extend as far as the current one, it will reach the lake bottom, unlike the current one. The grade will be 13.5 per cent, which is in the industry standard range of 12–15 per cent. Although the main contractor for the job is from out of town,
there are several local businesses who will benefit. Rob Udy, president of Landmark, stated that although his team would supply much of the specialized labour needed, they would seek to utilize local partners as much as possible. Arrow Lakes Redi-Mix will be supplying the concrete, and
many of the supplies will come from Home Hardware. Udy also confirmed that Ray Hascarl would assist with the project. Those with concerns and questions are encouraged to contact Audrey Repin at Columbia Power; her phone number is 250-3046060.
The bylaw calls for the development to recognize “the strong community interest in maintaining the rural character of the Shelter Bay area while providing a mix of land uses, residential densities and housing types, amenities and public space.” There were only about 25 people in attendance, including Ilkay and several people from his development team. Of those in attendance, only
three people raised concerns. Virginia Thompson, who said she and her husband own property in the area, asked how emergency services would be provided at the development. Notably, she wanted to know how services such as fire, police and ambulance would be incorporated as the development grows and if there were any hard triggers for their establishment. Jan Thingsted, a planner with the Columbia-Shuswap Regional
District, said it was hard to predict when those services would be offered: “It really does depend on many different factors and it’s difficult to predict at what rate things were sell and what rate people will start to live there more permanently and start to demand those services.” Rene Hueppi, the owner of the Mulvehill Creek Wilderness Inn, said he was concerned about increased traffic on Highway 23 Shelter, page 2
Shelter Bay development public hearing attracts small turnout Alex Cooper Black Press
A 767-unit development for the area north of the Shelter Bay ferry appears to be moving full steamahead towards approval after only a few concerns were voiced about it at a public hearing in Revelstoke last Tuesday. The development, which is being headed by Ender Ilkay, calls for 767 units ranging from trailer
lots to multi-acre properties along Highway 23 South near the ferry. Ilkay previously held two open houses where he presented his plans and his proposal has been moving formally through the CSRD since July 2012. It has passed first two hearings and a public hearing on a bylaw that would amend the Official Community Plan to allow for the development was held at the community centre on Feb. 5.

Bail denied to former New Denver RCMP charged with murder from custody. He was originally released after his arrest for the murder of Lynn Kalmring in August 2011. Justice Peter Rogers determined he was not a flight risk or threat to others and was to reside in his Penticton home, where Kalmring was found dead, under a number of conditions.

After changing lawyers, Wiens applied again to have his bail reinstated, but on Wednesday at the Kelowna courthouse Justice Rogers denied his application. A publication ban applies to the reasons the justice gave. Wiens, who is also a former Penticton school bus driver,
will face a jury trial on the second-degree murder charge of Kalmring beginning on May 27 in the Kelowna courthouse. He also will have to face a charge of breach of conditions in provincial court. A trial date for that charge is scheduled for July 25 at the Penticton law courts.

Fish tank broken in domestic incident On the afternoon of Feb. 2, Nakusp RCMP received a 911 call for a domestic assault on 7th Ave NW. Police attended and spoke with the complainant who advised that she had locked her partner out of the house after a heated argument. The male then broke a fish tank outside of the residence before re-entering the residence through a window. The male is alleged to have pushed the female but then left after finding out the police were notified. The suspect, a 49-year-old Nakusp resident, was located a short distance away and arrested for assault. The suspect has been released on an undertaking with several conditions and is scheduled to appear in the Nakusp
Provincial Court on Feb. 28, 2013.
New driver gets liquor suspension At noon on Feb. 3, Nakusp RCMP received a report of a possible impaired driver on Highway 6 near Nakusp. The suspect vehicle was located by police on Broadway Street and 3rd Avenue NW. The driver was identified as an 18-yearold Nakusp resident with a “N” driver’s licence. The investigating officer detected an odour of liquor on the driver’s breath and samples of breath were analyzed using Approved Screening Devices (ASD). The driver failed both tests indicating a blood alcohol content over the legal limit. The driver was issued a 90-day Immediate Roadside Prohibition and the vehicle was impounded for 30 days.
Police seek tips after school property trashed On Feb.10, Nakusp RCMP observed that there was an incident of mischief at the Nakusp Elementary School. Garbage cans had been dumped over and a box containing cross country ski poles had be dumped as well. There were ski poles scattered throughout the playground and several were observed to be broken. No damage was observed to the school. Neighbours in the area reported seeing a group of young people near the school yard the previous evening at approximately 11 p.m. If you have any information regarding this incident please contact the Nakusp RCMP at 250-265-3677.
Shelter Bay project nears final approvals Shelter, from page 1 and delays at the ferry that could cost him business. He was also worried about increased motorized traffic use on the flats near his property. “There’s more and more people spreading out on those vehicles over all the area between Revelstoke and the ferries,” he said. Thomson said she agreed with Hueppi and also asked if motorboat traffic at the development could be regulated. Ilkay spoke up, saying all the trails in his property would be nonmotorized and that no ATVs or dirt bikes would be able to access the flats through his property. He did say there would be staging areas set up for snowmobilers and ATVers to access the backcountry beyond the
property. Lastly, Brian Gadbois, a member of the Area B Advisory Planning Commission said he wanted to make sure there were no cost burdens added on to residents in Area B. He also said there needed to be some assurance that there would adequate services and retail space available as the development grows. He noted that at full build out, it would compare in size to Sicamous. All the feedback received will now be reviewed by CSRD staff. A report is expected to go in front of the board of the CSRD at its meeting on March 21. Then, it will be given third reading and, if passed, will then be sent to Victoria for ministry approval. After that, the bylaw will Ender Ilkay is the owner of the Shelter Bay lands. come back to the regional district for file photo final adoption.

Perksville: a forgotten place on the Arrow Lakes GREG NESTEROFF
Special to the Arrow Lakes News
Ever heard of Perksville? Probably not, although in 1894, the Nakusp Ledge carried several references to this curious Arrow Lakes town. The first appeared early in the year and read: “Almost the entire population of Perksville, a thriving little hamlet at the lower end of the Narrows, came up last Thursday evening in charge of Commander J. Dawson.” Perksvillians — presumably they weren’t many of them — seemed to prefer travelling together, for a month later, the paper said: “The population of Perksville came up en masse this week, under the restraining guidance of Mayor Perks. They presented a woe-begone appearance when they came in late on Tuesday night, having had a wearisome journey.” Who was their eponymous unelected leader? It appears to have been John Vincent Perks, a young Birmingham native who had recently quit his job at the Madden House hotel in Nakusp and departed for his ranch down the lake with J. Dawson and an “exceedingly heavy cargo of supplies.” There were only three more references to Perksville after this. One said R. Venner, also formerly of the Madden House, was headed there for the winter. Another said “The population of Perksville are helping to swell the number of inhabitants in Nakusp this week.” And the third and most noteworthy said: “F.G. StapletonCotton and W. Long departed for Perksville last Thursday, their example being imitated by Messrs. Perks and Burton, who left for the same place on Tuesday.” It’s unclear which Burton brother this was — there were three — but on July 5, 1894, the Ledge reported: “R.S. Burton and the other ranchers along the Narrows have decided to call the new town springing up at the mouth of Trout creek Burton City, in honor of the owner of the townsite.” Perksville was never men-
tioned again. We can deduce it was, in fact, the short-lived original name of Burton City. What’s more, Perks may have been a cousin to the Burtons, for he had a brother in Nelson named Harry, whose middle name was Burton. What of J.V. Perks from then on? He had a checkered career but eventually righted himself. He next appeared in the news in 1897 for the wrong reasons: he was convicted of breaking into a home in Balfour and sentenced to three months in jail with hard labour. By year’s end he was in Revelstoke, working at the Victoria Hotel, and by 1903 tending bar at the Climax Hotel, when he was briefly implicated in a suspicious death. A coroner’s inquest heard Fred Stewart, while drunk, wrestled another man in the bar until Perks told them to knock it off. The hotel’s proprietor then dragged Stewart to a back room to sleep, but a few hours later, Perks discovered him dead. The jury ruled Stewart died “by misadventure” at the hands of Perks or the other men from a blow on the nose while extremely inebriated. Perks was arrested, but soon released when the Crown refused to proceed with charges. Perks was still in Revelstoke as of 1910 when he took Mary Adell O’Brien as his bride. (He’d been married before, but his first wife died.) Soon after, they moved to

Independendent MLAs have a dream Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – Imagine a province where party leaders are chosen in an independently supervised vote, with 12-year-olds, dead people and pets prevented from voting. Imagine a province where roving gangs of influence-seekers aren’t allowed to join multiple parties, and the rule is actually enforced. One where corporations and unions have to advertise in their own name instead of financing political parties and then disclosing millions in donations months after the election is over. Imagine a province where elections are held based on audited financial statements, not a collection of election promises that will be dismissed as a work of fiction by the new regime if the incumbent party is defeated. A cat joined the B.C. Liberal Party to support Christy Clark. Adrian Dix won the NDP leadership with the help of bags of $10 bills stapled to new memberships. As parties go to online voting, multiple PIN numbers may be activated from the same phone number or the same address. These and other glaring problems with our party-based political system were highlighted last week in a set of reforms proposed by three independent MLAs. Vicki Huntington broke the party choke-hold on B.C. politics by getting elected as an independent in Delta South in 2009. Bob Simpson was kicked out of the NDP caucus shortly after winning re-election for the party in Cariboo North, because he dared to criticize then-leader Carole James for a lack of policy specifics. They were belatedly joined by Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen, who quit the B.C. Liberals in an orchestrated move to the B.C. Conservatives, and then quit that party soon after. Van Dongen does not have the credibility of the others to speak on integrity, given his self-serving party antics and his questionable decision to hire his fiancée and pay her one and a half salaries to serve as his constituency assistant. Leaving that aside, there are some good ideas in the independents’ reform package. One is to give backbench MLAs a meaningful role in policy-making. Simpson gave the example of Prince George MLA Shirley Bond’s term as education minister, where she had to reverse ministry policies that didn’t make sense in rural school districts. The all-party standing committee on education could have prevented this error, he said, but it didn’t because it never meets. The party voting irregularities described above could be addressed by giving Elections BC authority to supervise party leadership votes, the way it does elections and referenda. There are unknown costs for this, and other problems. For instance, should the Marijuana Party be subject to this, or the Work Less Party, should either one muster enough organization to stage a leadership contest? The independents had high hopes for one fundamental reform, moving B.C.’s set election date from the spring to the fall. This would take a simple amendment. The idea is for the government to table the annual budget, present the audited public accounts for the previous year, then have an election that rests on tested financial statements and initial results for the current forecast. Both the B.C. Liberal Party and the NDP have expressed support for this idea. The independents suggest that this brief three-week legislative session is a good time to do it, so the next government can implement it. I asked Mike de Jong, the B.C. Liberal finance minister and house leader, if he would consider it. He allowed that it is interesting, but it’s not contemplated for the pre-election session. That will be dominated by returning the provincial sales tax, and the usual jousting over untested spending and revenue proposals.

Columbia River Treaty Meetings in Arrow Lakes communities The Edge
Contributed by Rebecca Carmichael
The Columbia River Treaty that caused this valley to be flooded for the last 50 years is currently under review, with a deadline of 2014 for a future termination or amendment choice. The provincial government is currently consulting the public throughout the Columbia Basin. They have held public consultation meetings in larger communities in the Basin, but not in smaller places like ours, which were damaged the most. We will also be the most affected by any changes that may come out treaty termination or revision. Some people have taken the initiative to hold our own meetings in Edgewood, Burton and Fauquier this month to discuss the future of the treaty, led by local resident Crystal Spicer, whose family’s farm was destroyed by the reservoir. A few of the many issues brought up at the meetings: — Reservoir levels – strong desire to hold levels more stable and lower, closer to natural hydrograph, restoration of shoreline vegetation for ecological and recreational values.
— Fisheries – fish stocks collapsing, urgent help needed to restore natural kokanee, trout, and sturgeon habitat, desire to restore salmon runs eventually. — Economic – more compensation for losses in this region, revitalization of local economy – tourism, farming, logging and more. Better transportation and other infrastructure needed. BC Hydro needs to be more accountable to the public. — Canadian sovereignty — impacts of terminating or continuing treaty unclear, many desiring termination of treaty in order to regain control over our own waters, but not being considered primary option by government. First Nations claims to land and water not being considered. — Priorities — general public is most concerned about healing environmental and community damage, while BC Hydro is concerned with maximizing power and profits. Must be room for compromise and integration of all values. Given how forcefully the treaty was pushed on people 50 years ago, some felt that there was little hope of change for the future. While the government does seem intent on continuing things in much the same way,
this does NOT make it hopeless. We do need to communicate clearly and strongly what factors are important to this region. Whether the treaty is continued or terminated, things need to change, and we need to ask for it. Online questions and comments can be submitted at http://blog.gov. bc.ca/columbiarivertreaty/. This is not enough, so it also important to request further in-person consultation specific to the Arrow Lakes, and to form our own action groups. There will also be technical conferences in Castlegar and Golden in March for in-depth discussion of different Treaty scenarios. It is important to have some representatives of the Arrow Lakes give input at these. There is a possibility of a public meeting in Fauquier to be held after the conferences by the Columbia Basin Trust. To be part of a working group, contact Crystal Spicer at: 250-2697138 or by email at xtla.spicer@ gmail.com.

VICTORIA – B.C. voters have had enough of bags of cash, instant party memberships, and corporate and union donations influencing their provincial affairs, say three of B.C.’s independent MLAs. Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson, Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington and Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen are calling for reforms to party financing and a meaningful role for backbench MLAs. And they want the changes made in the brief legislative ses-
sion that begins next week. “People want MLAs to represent their constituents, not special interests or party leaders,” said Simpson, who was kicked out of the NDP caucus in 2010 for criticizing then-leader Carole James’ lack of policy specifics. The MLAs are also calling for B.C.’s scheduled election date to be switched to the fall, so the May 14 vote will be the last one featuring a spring budget that remains an untested political document. Simpson noted that one of the B.C. Liberal members supporting Premier Christy Clark’s leader-
ship bid turned out to be a cat, and NDP leader Adrian Dix won his leadership contest with the help of bulk memberships delivered at the voting deadline along with bags of cash to cover the $10 NDP membership fee. Huntington, the only MLA elected as an independent in 2009, said B.C. is one of the last places in Canada that still allows political donations from corporate and union sources. She said B.C. should also ban donations from non-residents, to prevent Alberta

Electricity surplus costly, NDP says The Ruskin dam in the Fraser Valley is one of BC Hydro’s oldest hydroelectric assets. It is one of two dams undergoing extensive reconstruction as BC Hydro prepares to build a third dam on the Peace River.

MLAs, from page 4 “oil barons” and other outsiders from influencing the vote. Van Dongen, who quit the B.C. Liberals and later the B.C. Conservatives, said he was able to speak out about the cost to small business from the new Family Day holiday. NDP and B.C. Liberal members didn’t have that freedom because their leaders supported it, he said.
NDP house leader John Horgan said his party is on record in support of fall elections and banning corporate and union donations. But he doesn’t think it’s likely either one will be a priority for the B.C. Liberals as they use a 19-day session to set up for an election campaign. Simpson said he will ask the government to consider at least the switch to fall voting in the spring session, which starts Feb. 12 with a throne speech.

BC Hydro
What’s happening in NAKUSP LEGION? TOM FLETCHER Black Press
VICTORIA – BC Hydro stands to lose $1 billion over the next four years by selling surplus power at a loss, NDP energy critic John Horgan said Monday. Horgan renewed the NDP’s long-standing criticism of the B.C. Liberal government’s push for electricity self-sufficiency, and its requirement that all new clean energy sources be privately developed. Long-term purchase contracts signed under that policy mean BC Hydro can expect to lose more than $1 billion by 2015, Horgan said at a news conference at the legislature. He based his calculations on documents BC Hydro released when it filed its application last week for an environmental assessment for the proposed Site C dam on the Peace River. The environmental impact statement for the dam shows an expected surplus of 5,200 gigawatt-hours for 2013 and similar surpluses out to 2015. Horgan said the current information suggests BC Hydro will have a surplus for the next 10 years. “We’re purchasing at $94 a megawatt-hour, and we can sell it for $37 a megawatt-hour [on the spot market],” Horgan said. “The net difference being $57
per megawatt-hour for power we do not need, power that BC Hydro was forced to purchase because of aggressive B.C. Liberal energy policy.” Energy Minister Rich Coleman said Horgan is using a “snapshot” of today’s low spot market and extending the same demand and prices far into the future. The province has numerous mine projects underway or seeking approval, and liquefied natural gas export proposals are proliferating in northern B.C. that are also likely to increase demand for electricity, he said. Coleman said the North American electricity market has likely reached bottom, with the U.S. using its own cheap natural gas to generate electricity and still suffering a slow economy with low power demand. BC Hydro’s Powerex division continues to buy and sell power, using dam capacity to effectively store power and sell it when prices are higher. Coleman said Powerex stands to make $200 million this fiscal year on electricity trading. One of B.C.’s moneymakers is wind power produced with U.S. government subsidies. Wind power can’t be stored, so Powerex buys excess power at a nominal cost and uses it while storing water in BC Hydro dams.

Lawyers call for list of reforms TOM FLETCHER Black Press
VICTORIA – The B.C. branch of the Canadian Bar Association released a report Tuesday calling for more judges, more court services staff, more legal aid money and more mental health services. Kerry Simmons, president of the Canadian Bar Association B.C. branch, released the report at a news conference in Victoria Tuesday. Simmons said the association wants to put justice issues on the agenda for the May provincial election, and it has been received with interest by the B.C. Liberal Party and NDP. The bar association, representing 6,900 B.C. judges, lawyers and law students, is seeking a long wish list of reforms, including long-standing demands for legal aid funding for family court disputes and a return to the 2005 level of staffing for provincial court judges. The B.C. government announced the hiring of nine new judges a year ago, and Attorney General
Shirley Bond also launched a review of the court system. Geoffrey Cowper, former chair of B.C.’s Legal Services Society, was assigned to examine why the court system was getting slower despite 13,000 fewer new provincial criminal cases than it handled in 2002. Cowper concluded the problem is partly because there are incentives for defence lawyers to delay cases, and a “culture of delay” that resists change. “During the review there was a general sense that judges and lawyers have their own, insulated sense of what constitutes timeliness and responsiveness,” Cowper wrote. He also found there is an average of seven appearances by the accused in a criminal case before it goes to trial. Asked about those problems, Simmons said there are pilot projects underway to expand the use of video conferencing in courts. Judges from out of town can preside over simpler procedures, such as bail or remand hearings.

Lights, colours, action! Maye brings spring in March Claire Paradis Arrow Lakes News
According to the calendar, the doldrums of winter are here, but with the temperature and dwindling snow, it feels like spring is trying to push its way in. Still, it’s only the second week of February, and the seasonal palette is still mostly shades of grey. Many people in Nakusp would welcome an opportunity to play with colour and composition, and start their spring early. Lucky for them, local artist and teacher Barbara Maye is offering an abstract painting class this March that will introduce different abstract art movements and techniques over one weekend. For this class, Maye will again be bringing the sense of play that is part of all her classes like her popular “Drawing More Than a Stickman” course. This time she will be introducing different movements in abstract painting to students who will be encouraged to choose a source of inspiration for their colourful exploration. Classes are rewarding for both students and teacher. Maye loves teaching, and told the Arrow Lakes News that it’s even more rewarding than making her own art at the moment. “Classes get people together and get people motivated,” the multime-

dia artist said. Teaching has been fruitful for Maye for more than just empowering people to create and explore. Offering classes has also been a way for Maye to travel and discover people and places close to home (and the wonders of having GPS technology in her iPhone). “I’ve met a lot of interesting people through traveling, I’ve had to get out of town and expand my world,” she revealed. Driving to and from Revelstoke and Nelson has kept Maye appreciative of the surrounding natural splendour: “It’s so beau-
tiful here any time of year.” And in these economic times, on a purely practical level, teaching has also been a great way to pay the bills when the art market is sluggish too. But Maye has not shied away from taking risks and leaping into the adventure of her own business venture. This is the first time that Maye is pursuing what she loves to do, teaching (and she also practises Tibetan acupressure therapy), without having a back up job just in case. “It’s great, but scary though,” she

revealed, relating that a recent class cancelled in Nelson now meant bread and butter gone. Gulp. The shift to self-employment has meant Maye isn’t focusing on her own art at the moment. Still, Maye is very happy to be doing what she loves in a place that she loves. “I’m not creating, not painting, right now,” she said, “My energy is going into building my business right now.” Maye has been able to bring knowledge about marketing she learned during her last stint as an employee to the experience of
running her own business, something she is very grateful for. Creating her own business is more than a full-time job, it’s a passion she loves to give her time to. “I’m always busy,” said Maye, who enjoys the flexibility of selfemployment. “I love being able to make my own schedule.” Working with Selkirk College and the Revelstoke Visual Arts Centre has been a real joy for the entrepreneurial art teacher and therapist. “Selkirk’s been really opening and welcoming,” said Maye, who really appreciates the fact they are able to take care of details like registration and payment, allowing her to focus on promotion and class development. With her background in multimedia, Maye is expanding her educational repertoire, and hopes to be offering new classes – like stone carving – this summer. For the moment, her painting and drawing classes are coming to Nakusp, Revelstoke and Nelson, with the Abstract Painting class coming up here on March 16 and 17. Maye is also offering a mentoring class in Nakusp May 4 and 5 for people who have an idea or a project that they may need some help realizing.

Polio penny drive at KSCU
Arrow Lakes News ■ Wednesday, February 13, 2013 ■ 7
Skaters compete in Nelson
Contributed by Gene Nagy
Nakusp Rotary is staging a two week penny derive. Since these coins are being taken out or circulation, we would like to put them to good use. Huge sums of money are involved with this program. Rotary International has contributed $1.1billion to the Polio Eradication program over the last 24 years. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation contributed $450m in 2010–2012 alone. World Health Organization, UNICEF, G8 countries as well as ‘infected’ countries of India, Pakistan, Nigeria Chad and others contribute hundreds of millions per year. Still, the 2010– 12 budget of $2.8 billion had a shortfall of $720 million. We are tantalizingly close to ending polio from the face of the earth. Eradicating a disease has only happened once before. It was in 1977 when the last case of smallpox was diagnosed. Bill Gates predicts that in six years we will achieve ending Polio completely.

In 2012, just 250 people were struck down by polio but it is the last few that is the hardest and most costly. Nakusp Rotary Club has contributed to this program over the years and continues to do so. Please help us by donating your pennies by visiting Nakusp Credit Union. Larger denominations will not be refused!

Monashee rivals Lumby coast to victory in Midget House tournament KYLE KUSCH
Special to the Arrow Lakes News
The Nakusp Falcons were the hosts at this weekend’s annual Midget House tournament at the Nakusp & District Sports Complex, but it was the Lumby Stars who took home the glory. Five midget teams – Nakusp, Kaslo, Lumby, Salmon Arm, and Calgary-Glenlake – took to the ice for the three-day event, and after the first day it was shaping up to be a great weekend for the host team. The Falcons opened the tournament by dispatching Calgary-Glenlake 9-1 and closed out Friday with a 5-2 victory over Salmon Arm 5-2. The turning point, however, 2.833" x 5"
would come Saturday afternoon against Lumby, as their Monashee rivals downed Nakusp 7-3. Nakusp would also lose Saturday evening’s tilt with local rivals Kaslo 3-1 in a closely-fought battle. Lumby would go on to sweep the round-robin, easily outscoring their opponents 31-9. The Kaslo Winterhawks would recover from their opening loss to Lumby to sweep the rest of their games and finish second, with Nakusp and Salmon Arm finishing third and fourth to take the last two playoff spots. Sunday morning saw the semifinals take place, with first-place Lumby easily handling Salmon Arm 9-3 in the opener. The second semi saw the friendly Kaslo-
Nakusp rivalry resume. This would prove to be another closely-contested game with outstanding goaltending from both teams. It would take until the 1:00 mark of the second period for Nakusp to break the game open, but Kaslo responded just 1:13 later to tie it. The winning goal would come with 5:24 left in the frame on a breakaway from Kaslo’s Ryan Tate, as despite a barrage of shots Nakusp was not able to answer back. Tate would send home an empty-netter in the third to ice the game for the Winterhawks and send them to the final. Kaslo’s Heidi Haegedorn and Nakusp goalie Josh Rivers would take home Player of the Game honours.
“It was a good tournament. The guys played well,” remarked Nakusp coach Rusty Reimer after the game. “Our special teams, our power play, were great all weekend. We just couldn’t make it happen even-strength.” There would be little rest for Kaslo as the final game began just 20 minutes after the semi-finals. The Stars had downed Kaslo 7-3 in round robin play, but the Kaslo kids kept it close through 40 minutes, down just 2-0. There was a rather scary moment early in the third period when the puck left the ice on a Kaslo clearing attempt, entered the Lumby bench, and hit one of the coaching staff in the face, forcing him to leave the rink with a
nasty gash across the forehead and some stitches. Once play resumed, however, Lumby scored four quick goals and sailed to a 6-1 victory to take home the first-place trophy with the Stars’ Marshall Box being named Player of the Game. As usual, crowd support at the arena was huge, and the concession workers and volunteers were kept busy all weekend. With the rest of the Midget House season consisting largely of road games, Reimer took time to acknowledge the significance of the weekend for some of Nakusp’s older players. “For 7 or 8 guys, this was probably their lastever home game, so this was big.”

Roadtrip to VEX Robotics Competition in Kelowna Angus Schroff
Special to the Arrow Lakes News
Robots are deeply ingrained in pop culture. They’ve been deadly enemies, helpful allies, or sometimes ambivalent spectators. In real life, robots like ASIMO (sometimes seen tripping on stairs), and BigDog (Sometimes seen in my nightmares), prove that autonomous creations aren’t merely science fiction. All that, though, has been almost as far away as Wall-E to the general public — kids especially. Things like that usually need huge amounts of money and experience, both usually requiring the other first. So, for anyone wanting to become involved in anything related to robots, the closest possible was a TV screen. The VEX Robotics competition aims to change that. Their “Robotics Design System” offers students the opportunity to tinker and compete with what is the equivalent of a complicated KNEX set. While their complete competition kits range from $800 to $1,000, they’re cheap for something so advanced. Where ‘80s kids had maybe a Commodore to muck about with in a technology club, we now have machines capable of recognizing
Above: Nakusp competitors Adam Webster and Tim Barisoff make some adjustments to their robot at the VEX Robotics competition held over the weekend in Kelowna. Angus Schroff photo Jacob Henschke, Frank Buss and Angus Schroff show off a trophy they won at the VEX competition — although Angus is operating on the theory that they won it due to a mix up!

colours, shapes and more. A VEX robot can do anything from grab beanbags to exterminate Chihuahuas (probably), and that’s for the price of a not-so-gently used car. Due to the valiant efforts of Sally Lynn Mclean, her husband, Jerry, Sabina Iseli-Otto, Ken Barisoff, and others, we of the Nakusp Robotics Club (Jacob Henschke, Frank Buss, Tim Barisoff, Adam Webster and I) have had the chance to experience the awesomeness of VEX firsthand. You’re awesome! The following is a chronicle of our underwhelming adventures at the VEX competition in Kelowna, from the start to what is definitely not the end. We first got the kits and were separated into teams about a month and a half ago, and I was skeptical. I had no idea how to code, and the amount of parts seemed overwhelming. To tell the truth, I wasn’t very invested. But as the robots took shape, it seemed like we might actually get something done! Those early weeks were a lot of fun; I got to sit around, eat stuff and play foosball while I watched everybody else work! Despite my lacklustre effort we got the robots done. Except for one thing: Adam’s robot failed to meet the height requirements. Bummer, but at that point, it was too late, and we set off for Kelowna. After a long van ride, peppered throughout with offensive jokes, and, when there was reception, obnoxious pop music, we arrived at our hotel. It was surprisingly nice, and the only thing out of place was the bathroom light, which flickered in exactly the same manner as lights do in horror movies. While Sally and Jerry helped Adam work on his robot, Ken kindly offered to take us to EB Games, and then Scandia, an arcade. After 30 minutes of picking out games, we headed for the arcade to spend more money. Tim schooled us at Daytona USA. The next day, when we arrived at the college, no one was there. Most people had complicated, impressive machines, from elevators to a cubic monstrosity akin to a street sweeper. That machine, as I learned, was made by a team of former world champions. It kind of made our clawbots look inadequate. Once the actual competition started, we didn’t actually didn’t do that bad. Jacob was a good driver, and I was a good ... bag picker-upper person. At the end of the qualifying matches, Adam’s team (Adam and Tim) had squeaked into “alliance captain” status at 8th place, while Jacob, Frank and I were at 15th, a fact I was none too happy about. My bitter, petty spirits were lifted a bit as Adam was eliminated in semifinals. After that, we basically sat, watched, and wished we had built robots that used scoops. The one high point was my team’s undeserved acquisition of an award, even though it was probably meant for Adam. Nothing like having identification numbers that are almost the same, huh? After that, we all finally got to do what we wanted to do: Go back to the arcade! When it comes down to it, the trip was fantastic. Sometimes, there’s nothing cooler than seeing something you made out there, doing something, even if it is just picking up beanbags. It was a great chance to experience and hone skills that could one day take some of us to a career. So, once again, I’d like to thank everyone who believed in sending a few kids, at a large expense, to Kelowna. Thanks, guys. We couldn’t have done it without you.
