Nakusp grandmother saved from fiery crash near Cherryville By Roger Knox
Black Press
Margaret Hollingsworth was on her way to Vernon to help a friend. She ended up getting help herself from two Cherryville strangers. Hollingsworth, a 77-year-old mother of eight daughters, grandmother to 25 and greatgrandmother to 30, was painting and fixing her Nakusp home with her husband on March 1. The couple plan on putting their home on the market. Hollingsworth decided she had enough of the renos and was going to go for a drive to Vernon to visit a friend going through some personal issues. At 9:30 p.m., on Highway 6 just past Northfolk Road in Cherryville, as she drove her 1988 Oldsmobile toward Vernon, Hollingsworth ended up in a ditch. “I wasn’t driving too fast, I was taking my time and the road was good. I was following a U-Haul, so I had lots of light but something startled me, I don’t know what,” said Hollingsworth. “I looked up and all I could see was flames and a tree. I had hit a tree and the car was on fire.” Hollingsworth tried to get out of the burning car herself. She unlocked the doors but she said they wouldn’t open. Dan Balcaen, 57, was returning home to Cherryville having helped his fiancée, Diane Meda, pick out a new 2013 spruce mica (dark green) Toyota Matrix. Meda and her son, Kevin Meda, 35, had been following Balcaen in the Matrix. “We had just gone past Northfolk Road,
we came around a corner, went up the hill, and saw a car down the bank on fire and somebody trying to open the doors. I didn’t know it was Dan,” said Diane Meda. “I pulled over and told my son to get out and go help that person.” As Kevin arrived, Dan was assuring Hollingsworth that everything was going to be fine. “He was talking to me all the time, saying, ‘Ma’am you are not dying in this car, we’ll get you out of there, hang in there,’” said Hollingsworth. “They got the top of the door and they ripped it off.” Diane Meda had parked her new Matrix, put her flashers on and flagged down a passing vehicle that had a bunch of people in it. Meda believes they were on their way to a skidoo cabin in the Monashees. One of the women in the car had first aid training. Dan Balcaen and Kevin Meda brought Hollingsworth up the bank to the side of the highway, where the unidentified woman began tending to her. The men noticed Hollingsworth was having trouble breathing, so Kevin Meda ran to a friend’s nearby home and borrowed an asthma puffer. With no cellular service in the area, Balcaen raced to a landline phone and called an ambulance. Hollingsworth was taken to Vernon Jubilee Hospital with a severe laceration and breathing difficulties. She did not, however, receive any burns. “They saved my life,” said Hollingsworth, through tears, of Balcaen and Kevin Meda. “What more valuable thing could a person

They saved my life. Isn’t that something?” Diane Meda had left the scene before the ambulance arrived, gone to get help from friends and neighbours to put out the car fire (Cherryville has no fire protection service). The flames had spread to some neighbouring trees, as well. Diane Meda was relieved to hear that Hollingsworth was recovering, thanks to the efforts of her family and the first aid treat-
ment before ambulance personnel arrived. “I feel really wonderful and I’m glad she’s doing well,” said Diane Meda. “I was really scared for awhile.” Lumby RCMP Cpl. Henry Proce praised the efforts of the Medas and Balcaen. “They undoubtedly saved the driver’s life by removing her from the vehicle in the nick of time,” said Proce. What started the fire in the Oldsmobile is still under investigation.
Cross country trail another great addition at Summit Claire paradis Arrow Lakes News
The official tour of the new cross country loop at Summit took trekkers on a sunny trip through fantastic terrain. Claire Paradis/Arrow Lakes News
Oh yeah, it was a bluebird day alright; hardly a cloud in the the rich blue of the sunny sky that stretched over Summit Lake Ski Area. A perfect day to get a tour of the lodge’s newly-constructed addition and the new cross country ski loop built last year. There was a lot of milling about at the beginning of the day, looking at the new building where the lockers and first aid area would be, complete with speeches from representatives from two of the major donors to the addition. Bob Parkinson was there on behalf of Kootenay Saving Credit Union and Columbia Basin Trust’s Lynda Lafleur also
addressed the tour group briefly. In a nutshell, both were impressed with the work that had been done by all the volunteers and the plan’s mastermind Eric Waterfield, and the future expansion plans. Waterfield’s vision for the hill is to turn it into a year-round recreational destination with facilities for hikers and ATV enthusiasts during the summer months as well as ski and snowshoe possibilities in the winter. Although the sun was beating hard, there was still lots of good snow on the hill, and the tour group, which had definitely shrunk in size, headed up the bunny hill on skis and snowshoes to the mouth of the 4.4 kilometre

Have you seen a sled like this? If so, it could be hot. Photo courtesy Karolina Moskul Karolina Moskul was looking forward to going sledding with her brother, but plans were thwarted when they discovered the sled was missing. Someone had stolen the 2013 Polaris PRO RMK and the trailer it was on from their Bayview home early in the morning of Thursday, March 7.

Moskul said the theft probably happened between when the household went to bed at 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. when the snow began to fall. The thief cut the lock on the trailer, hooked up to it and drove away with the stolen goods. The brazen robbery was likely done by someone who knew the area, said Moskul, who said another theft had taken place at a nearby home six to eight months earlier.

Good training not good breeding makes good dogs Claire paradis Arrow Lakes News
The paper has been inked, and it’s now official: Jackie Kilburn is the new Animal Control Officer for Nakusp and area. “I took the contract because seeing dogs running down the highway makes my heart leap,” said Kilburn. “They all come downtown to me anyway,” she told the Arrow Lakes News. Kilburn runs Dog Sense and has often found herself looking after dogs that have strayed from home. It’s not a new beat for Kilburn who was an animal control person in Kelowna 30 years ago, but a lot has changed in the intervening decades. And a lot more needs to change, in her view. “Thirty years ago stray or problem dogs were treated as a nuisance, they were shot and poisoned,” she said. “They weren’t as humanized as today.” Although the new Animal Control Officer recognizes that everyone’s dog can get loose once in a while, she sees no sense in simply returning an animal to an owner who will just let them go again. The key to preventing it from happening again is education, said Kilburn, who is a behaviouralist and is willing to put in the time with dogs and their owners to assess their situation and give some advice. Kilburn said under the RDCK bylaws, there is an option to euthanize an animal if it isn’t collected by its owner in a timely manner (one week), an option she doesn’t plan on using. If
an owner doesn’t come for their dog, Kilburn is more interested in rehabilitating the dog and finding it a new home. “It’s not that owners are bad,” she said, “they’re probably just not knowledgeable enough.” Just like people, dogs have personalities: some are more social than others, while others need more space. And they communicate their needs one way or another. “Dogs tell us ‘don’t come near’ but we don’t listen,” said Kilburn, who thinks the Yellow Ribbon campaign for dogs is a great idea. The campaign encourages owners to put a yellow ribbon on the leash of a dog who needs space, signalling to others that this dog should not be approached. Many people are too quick to walk up to a dog they don’t know wanting to pet it and visit, but that isn’t necessarily the best approach for all dogs. Bites and attacks are always preventable, said Kilburn, who also believes that is should be mandatory for people to have a session with a behavourist or trainer in order to teach dogs good social manners. “If not, the animal is going to pay,” she said. And the owners too. If your dog is found wandering two or more times in a calendar year, according to the RDCK bylaw, the Animal Control Officer can order the dog from the control area. If that doesn’t happen, the officer can take the dog into custody. Not only that, but owners are on the hook for the room and board costs incurred while they’re in the doggy big house.
JOB POSTING CASUAL ACCOUNTING CLERK The Village of Nakusp has an employment opportunity for a Casual Accounting Clerk. Reporting to the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), the Accounting Clerk assists with the coordination and maintenance of the Village’s accounting records and completes other office administration functions as required.
Jackie Kilburn is the new Animal Control Officer for Nakusp and Area. Claire Paradis/Arrow Lakes News “We’ve got to start holding people responsible and make them better owners,” said Kilburn. But the relationship between a dog and owner is complex, and a bad match can resulting in a dog expressing itself in unacceptable ways. The best way to avoid this is to do research before getting a dog, trying to find a companion with a complimentary energy level. And if you see a dog that has slipped away and is running down the highway looking lost, you can call animal control at the same number (250-265-3479) and Jackie Kilburn will ready to help.
Contract for Fauquier water plant granted Claire paradis Arrow Lakes News
Regional District of the Central Kootenay Utility Services Manager Jason McDiarmid was onsite with ISL Engineering and Land Services Friday, March 8 looking at the site of the future Fauquier Water Treatment plant. The next step will be an onsite survey. As part of the transfer agreement that shifted the Fauquier service from BC Hydro to the
RDCK in January 2011, BC Hydro provided full funding for a new water treatment plant. The contract for the design of the plant and project management was awarded to ISL Engineering, one of seven applicants, in mid-February. “ISL had the best overall proposal,” said RDCK General Manager of Environmental Services. The company will determine what the best treatment system for Fauquier will be, and will confirm its choice by run-

ning a one-month pilot project. The Regional District is intending to implement a wellproven, reliable, low maintenance and affordable treatment technology like either slow or rapid sand filtration.

How smart are wireless meters? Editor, BC Hydro’s contractor, Corix, is currently in Nakusp on their second wave of meter replacements. Fortunately, it’s still an option at this time to refuse to have it installed. Personally, the radiation produced (although substantial) is not my biggest concern. The privacy violation of the data gathered, the security of that data after it’s gathered and the security of the network are my biggest worries. This meter equates to a surveillance device bolted to your house which records every time you turn on the TV, dryer, lights, etc. It doesn’t strain the imagination too far to foresee a day when someone calls you up to sell you a new fridge because your old one has a heavy power signature. I was assured on the phone by a BC Hydro representative that all the data and the network is encrypted. Yippee. A simple Google search for “smart meter hack” will reveal that these meters and the networks have already been hacked in other countries. Anything from altering what power consumption rate the meter sends to uploading malicious software that interferes with the network and shuts down thousands of meters. It’s already being done in the world. Nothing is secure in the new digital age and the fact that our power grid
is entering the playing field frankly scares the bejeebers out of me. And we’re all gonna be on board for this Good Ship Titanic ... BC Hydro’s Maiden voyage. If there is anything modern companies know it’s that the hackers are always one step ahead and always will be. You called Jimmy and his black van to give you free cable in the 90s. You called Jimmy in the black van for free satellite a decade later. Now you’re gonna be able to call him to reprogram your meter so you can have a grow-op or cheaper power for your elderly parents in the next decade. BC Hydro is kidding themselves (and us too) by pretending it isn’t going to happen. And I hate to be a Negative-Nelly. The fact is that most of the people reading this are almost already too late. The meters have already been changed. The battle shouldn’t be done though. It’s no wonder Fortis BC is hiring an international damage control PR firm (Exponent PLC) to represent them to their clients. Exponent’s motto is “Create Belief.” They’ve defended pesticides in the past. If that doesn’t cast a shadow... You know the old saying: “Never say ‘whoah’ in a mudhole.”

By the time you read this in the paper, the Film Lovers In the KootenayS screening of independent filmmaker Velcrow Ripper’s latest movie Occupy Love will have already happened. If you missed it, you still have one more chance to see one of the fine films brought in to town for your viewing pleasure. The last FLIKS screening in Nakusp will be happening April 15. The film, Midnight’s Children, is based on Salman Rushdie’s book and directed by Deepa Mehta, and tells the story of two children born on the cusp of India’s independence in 1947. Rushdie did more than hand over the rights to his book, he worked with Mehta and wrote the screenplay himself. If you have seen any of Mehta’s other films such as Water, you know she is a master of film. Come and see for yourself.

Perkins takes a tour from the Catch FLIKS in Nakusp Resurrection to The End Times Arrow Lakes News
Sitting in the Bonnington theatre on the evening of Monday, March 4 was like having a private theatre; less than a dozen people occupied seats to watch Dustin Hoffman’s directorial effort “A Late Quartet.” The film follows the story of a long-standing successful quartet whose cello player is diagnosed with Parkinson’s, and the arc of what happens when things fall apart in life and what keeps them together. But describing a movie is almost as useless as trying to describe music. Describing a movie about music – well, I won’t even try. Instead of torturing you with a teasing description that can’t capture the spirit of the movie, I invite you to come to the next FLIKS screening. Since 1923

John Perkins A Rational View The Resurrection One good thing about writing on religion is that so many events connected with it are one-off events about which the writer does not have to be specific. For example, when the resurrection is mentioned, nobody is tempted to ask “Whose resurrection are you talking about?” If I were ever asked “When was the last time you heard about somebody being raised from the dead, I would reply, “Well I never actually have, apart from some ancient and mythical gods and Lazarus and my reason dictates that I should place Jesus in that same category.” The Resurrection of Jesus, the ultimate nail in the Christian coffin, no pun intended, defies belief. Without the Resurrection the entire fabric of Christian-
ity would be as false as the much-vaunted Shroud of Turin. In Corinthians I, Chapter 15, verses 13-14 Paul writes: “If there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: and if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.” The whole fiction of Adam, Eve and the talking snake with its implied original sin, all the way to the prophecies of Bronze Age sheep-herders 600 or more years before Jesus’ alleged resurrection (I use the word alleged because credible eye-witnesses are sadly lacking) would be meaningless. It occurs to me that the OT is partly a historical account of internecine feuds and the incestuous couplings of Bronze Age families and partly the work, at a much later date, of a few very determined early Christians to promote their new-found religion by manufacturing prophets and prophecies from the past. The End Times When I lived in Alberta after my retirement in 1994 I had a bumper sticker on my little red convertible which read: ”It’s been almost 2,000 years – and he’s not coming back. For Christ’s sake get over it.” I think I may have ruffled a few Christian feathers, because my little red Chevrolet Sprint suffered quite a few indignities
during the time that I had that bumper sticker. I would have been welladvised to keep it under wraps until I moved to Nakusp 13 years ago but I had no idea that Nakusp was home to so many free-thinkers. The End Times is one of the most risible features of Christianity. It seems to be all tied in with The Rapture and The Second Coming, but there appear to be so many variations of each of these three events in the Christian calendar that it would take more time than I have to sort it all out. I am inclined to wait for events to develop by themselves, but I promise not to hold my breath. Scientism is a relatively new word ending in “ism” in the lexicon of quasi-philosophy. It was invented or adapted by an unknown religious person, who presumably intended it to signify that science, in spite of its Latin origin, scientia (pronounced skeeyentiya), meaning knowledge, is not the sum total of man’s knowledge. It is inferred from the various contexts in which it has been used that some knowledge must originate from religion. There are many things for which religion is well-known; hope, wishful thinking and delusion are some of them, but empirical knowledge is not one of them.

Peewees and Firemen bring the fireworks at hockey fundraiser By Kyle Kusch
Special to the Arrow Lakes News
An enthusiastic crowd at the Nakusp & District Sports Complex was entertained Saturday night as the Nakusp Peewee House Falcons battled a team made up of members of the Nakusp Volunteer Fire Department in a hockey game that served as a fundraiser to support the department’s annual July 1 fireworks show. Unlike most hockey games, winning was not the real object here, as the game was kept lighthearted and fun. The game was broken into three 15-minute periods with another break at the half. Live commentary and scorekeeping were provided to the crowd throughout the game by the pun-derful combination of Kim ‘Kustom’ Marchischuk and Rod ‘Price Check on Aisle Four’ Zorn, who both made certain to point out the foibles of the Firemen all evening. Referee Cam Leitch and linesman John Cann kept the game flowing and swallowed their whistles for the most part, only breaking them out for the most egregious Fire Department
offenses. Over the jeers emanating from the scoring booth, it was the Fire Department who struck first thanks to a pair of goals from Didace ‘The French Connection’ Wilcott to put the Firemen up 2-0 early. Undeterred, the Peewees unleashed a comeback to take control of the game. Brayden Reardon sent two quick shots past Firemen goalie ‘Question Mark’ Macaulay to tie the match in the second period, and then the Peewees took the lead for the first time on a goal by Anthony Maxinuk. Meanwhile, the ace goaltending of Alex Roberts held the men (and woman) in red scoreless for over 30 minutes in the middle of the game. Reardon would open the third period by completing the hat trick, and with barely four minutes left in the game, the Peewees held a commanding 5-2 lead. Though the Firemen appeared to sink three shots past Roberts in the last four minutes thanks to goals from Jacob Balske and Tom ‘Phil Collins’ Zeleznik, a ‘mysterious’ scoreboard malfunction ensured that the Peewees ended the evening with a commanding 6-2 victory, followed by a hearty
round of handshakes and salutes to the crowd from both teams. The fun and frivolity were hardly contained to the game itself. Both intermissions and the halftime break featured competitions to entertain the crowd. The two squads participated in a wheelchair relay in the first intermission that was won handily by the fast-skating Peewees over the hapless Firemen, some of whom probably could have used the wheelchairs for real after the game was finished according to the commentators. At halftime, the two teams held an epic tug-of-war battle at centre ice that was won by the Peewees thanks to some help from a couple of defectors from the Fire Department. The fans themselves were able to get in on the action during the second intermission. Kevin Petterson won $300 in coupons from Overwaitea after being the only competitor to score in a shooting accuracy competition, and Shannon Roberts took home $256 dollars in the 50/50 draw. All in all, it was a night of big entertainment for players and fans alike.

Nakusp Minor Hockey coach and president happy with banner win CLAIRE PARADIS Arrow Lakes News
Rusty Reimer couldn’t sound happier. The Nakusp Minor Hockey coach and president saw the Nakusp Falcon Midget House team take the area banner this year in Trail. “We had such a good year, we finished second in the league play just where we wanted to be,” Reimer told the Arrow Lakes News. “The team started the year at home with a win, a lose and a tie. Then went on a 9-0 win run as well as winning the Kaslo tournament.” The coach recognized there were some lower points as well:
“We stumbled a little in February in our own tournament and came in third,” he said, “as well as the last two games in league play with only two ties.” During the playoffs, the Nakusp Midgets faced the last-played team, Boundary, and barely won. “It was like a wake up call,” Reimer said. And the team heard it, dominating the next game against Nelson 2, and winning 6-3. “We knew going into the last game on Saturday that we were already in the semi-finals and the team went into that game with that mentality,” the coach revealed. “We lost 4-3 in a hard fought battle.” Sunday morning’s semi-final
game between Nakusp and Trail 2 brought with it the realization to the seven players that were in their final year of minor hockey that if they didn’t win, it could be their last. “They came out playing like there was no tomorrow and we won 6-2,” Reimer told the Arrow Lakes News. “The Trail host team that we beat was far from sportsmanlike taking many ‘bad’ penalties.” Nakusp met Grandforks in the final, who they had lost to in their last round robin game, but this time they came out flying. “We never trailed, stumbled or faltered,” said a proud Reimer, “the whole team was focused on the
Rusty Reimer and the Falcon Midget House team are proud of their season. Photo courtesy Rusty Reimer banner.” Nakusp won 5-2 “with class,” and the Nakusp Minor Hockey president said it was the best team h’e ever coached.
“What a great ending to my minor hockey career!” he said. “I’m a happy coach and president.”
Nakusp Falcons place fourth in West Kootenay Atoms playoffs Contributed by Nakusp Minor Hockey
On the weekend of Feb. 23 and 24, the Nakusp Falcons travelled to Grandforks and had their sights set on bringing home a West Kootenay banner. Seeded fifth in the B Pool, Nakusp faced off against the first place team, Kaslo. It was a thrilling end to end game, but Kaslo came out with the 6-2 victory over the Falcons. Goals were scored by Wyatt Petterson, unassisted and Jackson Langlois assisted by Devon Coates. Falcon’s next game was against Trail. Trail opened the scoring with two goals early in the first period, but
Nakusp battled back when Devon Coates scored narrowing the gap by one and then Petterson tied the game up 2-2 to end the first period. The second period was back to back action and Falcons goaltender Noah Fizzard was unbeatable. Second period remained at 2-2. Halfway through the third period, Trail managed to slip one in, but Falcons winger Lucas Robins smacked one in, assisted by Dakoda Fizzard to tie the game back up. Two minutes later, Devon Coates would get the go ahead goal, unassisted. The Falcons could not hang on for the remaining six minutes; Trail had six quick unanswered goals to
secure the 9-4 win. Falcons hit the ice less than two hours later, still looking for their first win of the weekend against Grand Forks. Grand Forks got on the scoreboard first with two goals. Falcons again showed determination and tied the game up 2-2 with the first goal going to Devon Coates, unassisted and Wyatt Petterson, unassisted. During the second period, the Falcons really lit things up when Wyatt Petterson scored three more goals, two unassisted and one assist going to defence Darian Smith. Falcons would not slow down. Goals in the third period were scored by Pet-
terson (3) and Coates (2), with assists going to Langlois, Coates and Isaac Flamand. Falcons took the 10-8 win over Grandforks and earned themselves a spot in the semi-finals. The semi-final game was against Trail, and Falcons got on the scoreboard first with a goal by Petterson, assisted by winger Ledger Coates. Trail tied the game at the end of the first period. Falcons would get the early go ahead goal in the second with a goal from Devon Coates, assisted by Smith. Falcons would follow that up with two more goals by Petterson, assisted by Flamand. Second period ended in a 4-4 tie. In the
third period, Trail would score four more goals by the 10 minute mark. Falcons regrouped, bared down and started putting pucks in the net. Goals were scored by Devon Coates (Petterson, Smith), Petterson (assisted by Aidan Hascarl), Devon Coates (Petterson), and Petterson (unassisted). With one minute left in the game, Falcons pulled their goalie to put out a sixth attacker. Falcons could not put the puck in the net and lost the semifinal game 9-8. After the handshake and a few tears by both players and parents, the Falcons left the rink as a proud group.

Summit Lake Ski Racers have mountains of luck and skill
Racers were lucky enough to find themselves on the mountain in Smithers where they showed their skill. Photo courtesy Ryan Willman By Ryan Willman, Athletic Dir.
Special to the Arrow Lakes News
“If you’re lucky enough to be in the mountains, you’re lucky enough.” Twenty-one racers, four coaches and one sharp dressed man had the privilege of reading this wood plank slogan while waiting in an early morning chow line. Breakfast on the mountain was the coveted conclusion to months of after school dryland training and weekend practices as the Summit Lake Ski Racers found themselves piling eggs and hash browns on top of pre-race butterflies in the Hudson’s Bay Lodge above the northern B.C. town of Smithers. From March 4 to 6 our young athletes competed for the fastest downward decent in a pool of 42 female skiers, 50 male skiers, 30 female snowboarders, and 59 male snowboarders from high schools around the province. The B.C. School Sports Provincial Alpine Championships, hosted this year by
Burns Lake School of the Lakes District, was a competition comprised of two Giant Salom courses for each discipline of racing culminating on the third day with a Terrain Cross for both boarders and skiers. Athletes competed as individuals with each performance ranked according to a combined time from both courses, but also earned points for their team based on a seeding system that made the competition a little more interesting than just ordering racers from first to last. “We’ve taken individual performance and made it into a team sport,” quipped the race commissioner during the coaches AGM, and the Summit Lake Racers embodied the spirited enthusiasm of teamwork admirably; no other group of racers on the top of the mountain acted more as a team then our young athletes. Nakusp cheered and supported Nakusp, making unabashed spectacles of ourselves in the thick of the carnival-like atmosphere around the starting gate, with enough sportsmanship left over to encourage other
team racers as well. We were also undoubtedly the best dressed, despite the colourful array of spandex being sported by some of the other racers. As individuals the Summit Lake Ski Team performed competitively at the slalom with Taylor Aeichele earning a seventh place finish and Angus Jackson achieving a well earned seventeenth spot. Even though our racers didn’t metal as individuals, our team managed to edge out enough points to make it to the podium on Tuesday night proudly earning a silver finish for combined team effort in the girls ski category. The relative quiet of the ceremony was shattered by Nakusp enthusiasm as our female athletes charged the stage to collect their hardware. The scene was soon echoed as the awards shifted disciplines and the Summit Lake Ski Racers erupted for a second time with a third place team finish in the girls snowboard category. Amy Surina’s eighth place individual finish along with her teammates strong over-all finish contributed to the bronze metal reward. The final day of racing was a technical quagmire as the entire racing company was faced with the tricky Terrain Cross punctuated by a challenging Wu Tang hump at the top of the racecourse. This tricky pile of snow was nothing to mess with, as it either launched inexperienced racers into the air for a speed eating flatlanding, or psyched out the athlete’s momentum entirely. The sunny bluebird day was abuzz with the background chatter of how to handle the technical puzzle of the Wu Tang, as teams traded ideas and solutions. The rest of the Terrain Cross was a mash up of banked corners, rollers and breakaway dips that dared the racers to check their courage and the conviction of their top speed. All of the racers had one chance to try their hand in the course, and their time would be added to their Giant Slalom results for an overall placing. The majority of the Summit Lake Ski Racers managed to improve their standing, but the stand out finish was Taylor Aeichele’s amazing
third place time of 00:50.97. Taylor simply owned the Wu Tang, crushed the course and launched her combined results earning her a bronze medal for the week. The racers from Naksup were lucky enough to find themselves in the mountains last week, but luck had nothing to do with their outstanding performance. Congratulations to all of the racers.

Take a trip cross country at Summit Ski Area
Summit from page 1 cross country trail. Sandwiched between the bunny hill and the also-new terrain part, the loop begins at the far side of the hill from the lodge, starting off with a gentle rise. Even so, it wasn’t long before layers of winter clothing were being shed on the expedition. There are some natural points of interest along the way, some marked with a bright blue sign. The first was a giant cottonwood that had blown down in high winds, revealing its earth-heavy roots to passers by. Further down, another sign showed
where a bear had scratched a marker showing territory, evidence that the hills are alive at Summit. Another sign stood next to a burned tree, and there was some gentle teasing about how it was known it had burned in 1912 exactly. Without signage were the Three Sisters, whose bright sunlit peaks were a highlight of the trek, easy to see as the trail left darker evergreen trees and passed through a birch forest. One skier remarked it reminded her of forests in eastern Canada, which are mostly deciduous, a rare thing out west. Between the birch trees
there were spots that looked like prime picnic territory, especially in all that sun. There are plans to put a first aid station at the far end of the loop at some point in the future as well, just to be safe. Curving around back toward the ski area, the trail dipped down past a small still pond, offering a bit of a challenge to skiers. In no time at all, the group was back at the start of the loop, looking down the hill and across the valley to Summit Lake. In all, it was an hour of fun in the sun and snow and a great way to spend the time (especially for work).
