Training Hawks cause a stir in Upper Arrow Lake Two training jets from Cold Lake, Alberta, got people talking around town when they flew the length of the valley from south to north. Claire paradis Arrow Lakes News
What’s that up in the sky? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Well, it’s a plane with a bird’s name, a jet plane in fact. Just after noon on Sunday, April 28, two fighter jets were seen flying north over the valley, an uncommon sight in the skies above Upper Arrow Lake. Captain David Lavallee, Public Affairs Officer for the 2 Canadian Air Division out of Winnipeg said the jets were a pair of CT155 Hawks from the 419 Squadron. The Hawks were training craft on a crosscountry training flight giving their pilots the experience of different terrain. The planes that caused a brief stir on Sun-
day returned back to 4 Wing Cold Lake, Alberta, the busiest fighter base in Canada. “It’s part of normal training,” Lavallee told the Arrow Lakes News, explaining that pilots often fly over different parts of the country as part of their education. What were they looking for? “You can’t see much,” said Lavallee, commenting that the high speeds of the craft make it difficult to see much other than a blur during flight. What about chem trails. Were the planes dropping chemicals? After a quick description of chem trails to Major Steve Neta, he said the planes were “absolutely not” dumping anything into the skies from the jets.

Treeplanters bring silviculture to the mountains
David Jackson looks over a cut block near Cape Horn as graupel falls from the sky. Claire Paradis/Arrow Lakes News Claire paradis Arrow Lakes News
It was a cool clear morning at the Interfor office in Nakusp. Interfor’s David Jackson and Sylvia Warrantz from Summit Lake Service were getting ready to head out to a cut block near Cape Horn off Highway 23, the “North road.” Tree planting season started mid-April, and although the sun had finally arrived, temperatures have been bob-
bing between freezing and early 20s over the course of a day. In the office, Jackson goes over safety guidelines and hands out gear: high-vis vests and hardhats just in case winds whip up and blow trees over or a truck in reverse doesn’t see the reporter for the trees. Just in case. “So they can see you coming,” Jackson says, “and so you don’t get backed over.” Greenpeaks Resource Management are the contractors responsible for planting the trees
out at Cape Horn, and the 23 planters working at various sites in the area. With six or seven locals living in town and others who live just down the valley, the crew is a mix of tent dwellers and residents. Most keep coming back to work with Greenpeaks. “People like to work here, they like the camp,” Jackson told the Arrow Lakes News. The crew is a mix of young “newbie” planters and diehards, with an average day’s earnings around $250, although there is so much variation due to weather, landscape conditions, tree prices as well as planter experience that an average is hard to pin down. Planters get paid 18 cents for each tree they plant on this particular block, and the price will vary depending on the nature of the planting. Fill planting – filling up small areas with a few trees – or tough terrain prices are higher because fewer trees are planted. The tree species planted varies according to elevation and site. At the Cape Horn block, there are six types of seedlings being put in the ground on an area covered with debris, aka slash. In the old days, the majority of slash was often burned but now more debris is left on site. Retained slash helps seedlings not only by returning nutrients to the ground but also by reducing competition, moderating temperature and conserving moisture in the ground, said Jackson. As we drove down the road winding through the block, the slash looked like a silver layer of bleached tree
limbs that covered most of the ground. Scott Lemkay, one of the foremen, approached across what looked like a landscape devoid of people. Under growing clouds, Lemkay and Jackson discussed how many planters were working invisibly in the block (around eight), and how long they were likely going to be there. The politics of having dogs along came up too (they’re great if they know how to handle themselves around bears, elk and the like, not so much if they eat unattended lunches). Between 1.2 and 1.3 million trees will be planted by the local division this year, and over a variety of terrain. The Cape Horn block is situated on a rolling 32.8-hectare piece of land, but other spots are steeper with more slash and other challenges. Some sites, particularly those at higher elevations, are prepped with machinery to create mounds of raised dirt that give the seedlings an edge for survival. Each site has different growth potential, said Jackson, and the Annual Allowable Cut – and therefore the reforestation figure – is based on that growth potential. Forestry companies have an obligation to replant, Jackson said, one that they take seriously because they recognize it is their future they are tending. Most forest tenure licensees are conscientious and are prompt with

West Kootenay candidates meet in Nakusp for public forum
Glen Byle, Katrine Conroy, Joseph Hughes and Jim Postnikoff spoke their minds in Nakusp on May 2. Claire Paradis/Arrow Lakes News Claire paradis Arrow Lakes News
Around 100 Nakuspians attended the all-candidates forum on May 2. Originally slated to be held in the Seniors’ Hall, it was quickly seen that more seats would be needed, so the event was moved to the Nakusp Arena Auditorium. Moderator Pat Dion started the forum with these questions for each candidate: what is the most important issue in your view, and what are the main challenges in the riding. Independent Glen Byle from Trail started off, stating that voter apathy is the biggest issue and the overburdening of the healthcare system the main challenge in the riding. Castlegar-based Jim Postnikoff said jobs and economy were the most important issues, and getting people on the same page in the region was critical. NDP candidate Katrine Conroy said the forest industry and a sustainable economy is still what is important in Nakusp and the area, and listed healthcare, seniors, education, the environment and rural issues as being challenges. The independent from Nakusp, Joseph Hughes, identified free representation in government as important and keeping families in the area, and loss of sovereignty over water as being challenges in the area. Glen Byle said he wanted to get the people’s voice heard in Victoria, and proposed a technology-driven system that would allow greater democratic engagement by citizens. Jim Postnikoff, a former millwright and business owner and operator, said his focus was to create jobs and keep the economy moving forward. Katrine Conroy said she wouldn’t make promises she couldn’t keep,
that the issues her party was focusing on were making possibilities for skills and education, taxation on large corporations not small business and addressing child poverty. Joseph Hughes said he felt governments were no longer responsible to the people, bringing up the Columbia River Treaty and how it has benefitted agriculture in Washington state to the detriment of farmland up in B.C. The first question from the audience was about a Compensation Equity Act proposal which would seek to level the pay scales of government employees with their private sector counterparts. Joseph Hughes: “There’s an impressive disconnect between public employees and others.” He gave the example of the MLA severance of a year’s salary given to MLAs who were not re-elected as that disconnect. He was in favour of legislation. Katrine Conroy: She wasn’t sure where the disconnect was, and would focus on raising the wages of low income earners. She defended the MLA severance, saying a lot of the money goes back into communities. Jim Postnikoff: “Bureaucrats don’t have easy jobs.” He agreed with Conroy, but added a core review of salaries after the election would be a good idea. Glen Byle: He asked why private wages were so low, and stated that companies siphon money from communities to shareholders. School Board Trustee Patty Adam asked the candidates how they would make predictable and stable funding available for school boards. Glen Byle: Taxpayers need to have more input on where funding goes, more say on where their tax dollars go. Jim Postnikoff: An improved economy will mean stable funding, no

more debt should be taken on by the province. Katrine Conroy: All school districts are different and rural districts need different funding. The Liberal government abandoned rural B.C. Joseph Hughes: Government should empower communities to find solutions and work with communities to find solutions. What is the opinion of the candidates on a fixed link at Beaton? Joseph Hughes: Supports a fixed link, and believes a bridge needs to be part of the plan for growth in the region. Katrine Conroy: Will commit with BACA and community to make their voice heard in Victoria. Jim Postnikoff: A bridge is a must; how we get it is unknown but it is the thing to revive the area. Why has it not been brought up before, he asked. Glen Byle: “I have a guaranteed solution: hold the 2020 Summer Olympics in Nakusp. You’ll get all the infrastructure you need.” He commented that the ferry ride was nice for tourists although did get frustrating for residents. What are the candidates’ positions on the Columbia River Treaty? Glen Byle: People need to be aware of local issues, and if they are interested, he will push for what they want. Jim Postnikoff: The treaty needs to be negotiated with an increase in compensation as well as environmental considerations such as fish ladders. Katrine Conroy: A good strong voice is needed at the table. Downstream benefits go to Victoria and not to the Basin, but the NDP have worked and will work to bring more back to our area. Joseph Hughes: Water is now held under NAFTA and we are obligated to provide it to the U.S.; this needs to be changed so Canada has sovereignty over its water. Water levels need to be stable, and the treaty process needs to be a public conversation. What do the candidates think about the declaration of the Sinixt as extinct and the giving of land in the Wensley bench area to the Ktunaxa?
Joseph Hughes: It was a surprise, and an example of local people not being involved or informed about decisions that affect them. Conversations need to bring all parties to the same table. The land gift was a surprise to some first nations and seemed to coincide with election time. Katrine Conroy: It’s ridiculous that the federal government have declared the Sinixt extinct, and the timing of the incremental treaty signing land over to the Ktunaxa is suspect. The land has the potential for industrial usage but could now be caught up in a protracted legal battle. Jim Postnikoff: If DNA evidence exists that there are Sinixt still living, then their ruled extinction can be overturned. Glen Byle: Not informed on issue, but is dedicated to getting people informed on issues like this. Would the candidates allow an opt out option for smart meters? Glen Byle: Not everyone is for smart meters, and they don’t need to be forced on people. Jim Postnikoff: People should have a choice whether or not to have them. Katrine Conroy: Hydro did not follow proper procedure and go through the BC Utilities Commission. “We are telling people if you don’t want it, it can be removed. You can opt out.” Joseph Hughes: There are problems with opting out, such as moving into a place that has a meter installed, but supports the opt out option. People should be allowed to choose. What are the candidates positions on the flooding of Site C? Joseph Hughes: Opposed to it; it is a big solutions with big consequences when smaller solutions can be found. Better tech and local industry are better solutions. Katrine Conroy: It doesn’t need to be built. Class A farmland that will be needed as climate change progresses will be flooded. It would be better to retrofit the Duncan Dam for energy production. Jim Postnikoff: Site C is crucial to support the liquid natural gas sector. The energy sector up north will pay off long term debt taken on to build the dam.

Glen Byle: He admitted he was undereducated on the issue, but recognized the need to get people educated about issues like this one. What do candidates think about GMO (genetically modified organism) labelling? Glen Byle: Not fond of GMO, because once it’s allowed, it’s difficult to control. It’s up to people if they would like to see labelling or not. Jim Postnikoff: “Don’t like ‘em.” Labelling for all GMO products. Katrine Conroy: Disappointed that Alex Atamenenko’s private members bill didn’t pass. Would like to see labelling. Joseph Hughes: In favour of GMO labelling. What do the candidate thing of providing local timber licenses and the environmental oversight of licenses? Joseph Hughes: NACFOR is an excellent example of local oversight. The removal of infrastructure from environmental assessment is disturbing. Katrine Conroy: NACFOR is an example of a well-managed forest. An inventory will be made of woodlots to rectify any problems with BC Timber Sales. There aren’t people out doing environmental assessments any more, and they are needed. Jim Postnikoff: Local timber licenses are a must. “Those local timber licenses translate into jobs, and jobs are what we need to keep moving forward.” Glen Byle: “I know this one.” Keep it local and keep it small. What about decriminalization or legalization of marijuana? Joseph Hughes: In favour of decriminalization, with controls like the ones on alcohol. “It could be a big benefit for this community.” Katrine Conroy: In favour of decriminalization, although it is a federal matter. It would allow the largest agricultural crop in B.C. to become public revenue. Jim Postnikoff: “I’m a man of not many words.” Would work for what constituents want. Glen Byle: Promise to make it impossible for the government to ignore issues people want addressed.

Our view of the future shapes the present
Craig Savage A Matter of Faith I’ve always been somewhat fascinated with the future. In fact, some of my favourite science fiction—Back to the Future, Star Trek, and the like— deals with the notion of time travel. Even in church, I remember hearing super-detailed sermons based on the book of Revelation about what future events would look like. I obsessed over books and movies depicting the battle of Armageddon or explaining how some country or other allegedly fit into prophecies about the end of history. Our culture is no less fixated on future events. Environmentalists’ dire warnings about the impending doom of climate change are starting to be taken more seriously. Technology writers tell us that we are in the midst of an innovation explosion that may rival the Industrial Revolution— we have become accustomed to exponential growth in the abilities of our digital devices. Perhaps 3D printers will make Star Trek replicators a reality soon, so that like Captain Jean-Luc Picard we will be able to tell our smart kitchens “tea, earl grey, hot,” and be obeyed. Never has the future seemed simultaneously as bright and as dark. How we view the future can have a profound effect on how we act in the present. Some future-obsessed Christians have steeled themselves for the
Apocalypse to such a degree that mere earthly concerns have been dismissed. Why get involved in politics, save the planet, or undertake any major endeavours that will just be destroyed in the calamities of the End Times? On the other extreme, when we believe that the march of technological and social progress is leading toward an inevitably bright future, we may be more apt to invest heavily in the present. In this way, we seek to participate in that progress and reap its rewards. An exaggerated belief in such unrelenting progress led investors to bet billions of dollars on the “next big thing” of internet companies at the turn of the century. Many of those investors lost their billions just as quickly when the bubble burst. As with many areas of life, a healthy attitude toward the future means avoiding either of these extremes. Solomon’s Proverbs encourage us to be prudent in preparing for whatever the future may bring. Jesus warned his disciples against “false prophets” who would claim to know about the End Times and the return of the Messiah. He encouraged them to always be ready for his return by observing his teachings faithfully. In other words, we must not count on knowing the future. We can know about the past, and we are experiencing the present, but no one really knows about the future. It doesn’t really exist until we get there. While it may be interesting to speculate—and make for some great movies—we can get off track with an unhealthy obsession over it. Therefore, we must strive to live well in the present and not hold too tightly to the things of this world that can pass away. But if they come out with one of those Star Trek kitchen replicators I’m still getting one.

Smart meter delay to end soon Editor, Citizens who are intending to keep their non wireless watthour meters need to have their meters locked down, posted and the required notifications to BC Hydro completed. The installation delay will end shortly after the election of the new government. We had hoped that the major political parties would have promised a full moratorium to allow a sober second look at the technically troubled smart meter program. There has been nothing from them; however, this does give more time for getting ready to face the installers. BC Hydro realized they had a problem in our valleys when it was demonstrated that the smart grid disables locally owned WiFi internet services. This was a clear
violation of the non-interference provisions of Industry Canada rules as stated in the RSS 210. That is why they called for the delay until their technical team could deliver their message to the service providers later this month. There are two ways to protect yourselves from this invasive and dangerous technology. If you intend to protect your lawful rights as a private person then you can find out more about an old provision of the Common Law called the “Claim of Right” at: http://bcfreedom.wordpress. com/2013/01/11/phase-1-documents-to-help-prevent-smartmeter-installs-in-b-c/ If you are a strong willed person or don’t like the above exacting administrative process you may choose to use the CST/ Coalition documents which can
be found here: http://www.stopsmartmetersbc.ca/. Smart meter refusers should be prepared with correct statements to use when Hydro sends a succession of officials to attempt your re-education. Citizens should keep copies of all Hydro documents and record everything that happens in a way which can be useful to the court. If you are uncertain about how to proceed, get help from one of the many people in our communities who are fighting industrial tyranny in our valleys. There is nothing quite like the taste of freedom won with focused intent by defenders of our fragile world. Ed McGinnis Fauquier, BC
Voter’s faith restored by independent Editor, “The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down the walls of injustice.” -Lyndon B. Johnson All parliamentary members are bound by the social contract; to serve and protect the well-being and best interests of the people they are governing first and foremost. Society in turn, agrees to provide the government with privileges and status, based on a trust that these people are committed to upholding their ethical responsibilities.
Tragically, over the years, so many of these respected members of our society have broken that trust, betrayed the people, succumbed to greed and persuasion. They’ve ignored the ethical obligation that is within us all. Now, too many of us have lost our fidelity in the very fibre of our civilization. So many of us have given up. I know I had. This election will be the first in all my years as an eligible voter that I’ve ever had any faith at all in a candidate. This is the first time I’ve felt confident that my
vote truly does count! I know with all my heart and mind that Joseph Hughes is for real. What you see, what he says, is what you get. Thank you so much Joseph for standing up for all of us, for offering yourself to be our voice. I trust you, I believe in you. By voting for you, I’m voting for me, my family and everything that I cherish. Leanne Smith Krestova, B.C.

Canada is ready for a transformative energy experience Contributed by David Suzuki
Some people think a widespread shift from fossil fuels to cleaner energy sources is not practical or even possible. You’ve probably heard the arguments: wind doesn’t always blow, sun doesn’t always shine, the technology’s not advanced enough, installations take up too much space, we need sources of baseload power that can only come from fossil fuels or nuclear power. And so we carry on, rushing to squeeze every last drop of oil and gas from the ground using increasingly difficult and destructive methods, with seemingly little concern for what we’ll do after we’ve burned it all.

Human Rights Tribunal ruling a tribulation for apology seekers greg nesteroff Black Press
Although a long-awaited ruling last week from the BC Human Rights Tribunal must be bitterly disappointing for members of the Doukhobor group known as the New Denver Survivors, it is hardly surprising. The group claimed discrimination in the provincial government’s response to an ombudsman’s report suggesting they deserved an apology and compensation for being removed from their homes as children in the 1950s and sent to a New Denver residential school. But their case was severely
hamstrung by the resignation of their lawyer on the eve of the tribunal hearing, for reasons never made public. Even if they’d had professional representation, I’m not sure the outcome — the complaint was dismissed — would have been different. The case didn’t revolve around their mistreatment as children, but instead the government’s dealings with them between 2000 and 2004. Among other things, a monument of sorts meant to commemorate the injustice was considered an affront by some. (It lies semifinished in New Denver, without anything to explain its sig-
nificance.) The tribunal adjudicator concluded that while she sympathized with the complainants, she could not find they were discriminated against on the base of race, ancestry, or religion. What’s sad is how all of this probably could have been avoided with a mere apology. This, former attorney general Geoff Plant insisted in his testimony, was impossible for liability reasons. (Legislation has since been introduced allowing government to apologize without exposing itself to lawsuits.) “The value of a sincere apology cannot be underestimated,” the tribunal adjudicator noted.

Those Survivors who haven’t already given up are still waiting for
one, probably in vain.

If this picture doesn’t grab you and make you want to see what will be happening at the Zone festival, what will? There will be drama and singing and more coming to the Bonnington this week. Check it out. Claire Paradis/Arrow Lakes News By Angus Schroff
Special to the Arrow Lakes News
What’s that sound? Is that, perhaps, the squeal of a thousand pigs being simultaneously barbequed, like a regular Texan Saturday? Or is it the nails of a giant teacher, scratching across a chalkboard made of the broken dreams of the indentured slaves known as “students?” Or is that the sound of tires screeching, as legendary outlaws Bonnie Elizabeth Parker and Clyde Chestnut Barrow approach Nakusp at breakneck speed? As you may have guessed due to the improbability of the first two, it is the last. The Zone Festival is careening this way, and as part of it, Nakusp Secondary School’s presentation of “Bonnie and Clyde” the classic, if embel-
lished, story of murder, escape and comedy. Not quite the regular fare of a high school drama class, but, make of that what you will, it’ll be worth it. There’s nothing like a little crime spree to spruce up any old event, right? Of course, the Zone Festival won’t just be any old event. As explained in a previous article by Janet Royko, there will also be plays by Mirror Theatre and the Revelstoke Theatre Company. “The Fantasticks,” taking place the next day as well as May 17 and 18, is a story of two fathers who attempt to get their children married. Of course, hijinks ensue: it is the rule of such things. Promising to be the light, fluffy note before the shuddering bass drop of “Fuel,” The Fantasticks has had a very long and successful run as a Broadway production. With a
veteran local company like Mirror Theatre at the helm, it seems destined for success. Here’s hoping it lives up to its name. The last production, taking place on May 11, “Fuel” is a much more serious story than the last two. While the first is a comedy adaption of a very serious crime spree, and the second is a light-hearted tale that could be equated to a warm towel, or a halfway decent romantic comedy (if that exists), Fuel is the dramatic tale of a man’s struggle with addiction. That concludes my rundown of the performances on offer, and if that didn’t whet your appetite, I don’t know what will. So come on down to the Bonnington, May 9 to 11, and enjoy yourself some theatre, partner.

Hear the Cromoli pitch for power and for laughs this election season Contributed by Silverton Gallery
As the election debates heat up, a new duo join the race and offers some comic relief in a satirical play by Lucas Myers. Another brilliant offering from Nelson’s theatrical tour de force, Lucas Myers is coming to the Silverton Gallery on Saturday, May 11. Myers is known for his ability to portray multiple characters in
his one-man shows. His writing is often shrewd social commentary and satire, and very funny. But he also shows a tenderness for his inventive off-beat Kootenay characters. With his latest play, Lucas brings back the Cromoli Brothers, and this time they are running for office! The Cromoli bid for power is written and performed by Lucas Myers and special guests.
Myers has this to say about the play: “The Time has come. After recent events in the world infrastructure and global economy caused by grotesque greed and power-hungry jerk pants, the Cromoli Brothers have decided that enough is enough. They have decided to take matters into their own hands and are officially announcing their bid to become Supreme Leaders of the
World. Who better to lead us into a new age of peace and good times than the fun loving Dynamic Vaudeville Duo: The Cromoli Brothers? No one’s better! vote once, vote often, vote Cromoli!” They will be spreading their message during a Kootenay Tour which will be making a stop at the Silverton Art Gallery on May11 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 and
available at the door. The Brothers will reveal their platform and discuss, with the help of a ukulele and various other small hand-held instruments, what makes them the right choice to bring our entire world into a more peaceful, happier, and brighter future with less human suffering and cholesterol.

Reforestation season is up and running around Nakusp was being checked, loves the job. He’s been doing it for 20 years, and because he lives in Rossland, he’s able to commute home on weekends. “It’s way better than a regular job,” he said, standing grinning amid the graupel, “when the weather’s nice.” The seasonal fun outdoor active life is what keeps drawing him back to the work, and the great people

increase and good habits will stay, and well-planted trees means a better survival rate. Around a meandering creek, a line of trees stood out against the flatness of slash. The trees are left for stability around riparian zones, the checkers said. Further up on the mountain, trees have also been left along caribou migration corridors, said Jackson. Wildlife and waterways are part of the calculation when determining what trees become lumber and which ones are left where they are. Trees are checked a year after they are planted, and then again after five years. At that point, they are assessed to see if brushing – clearing out competing species – is needed. Ten years after being planted they are checked again to see if they are free growing, then handed back over to the government. Jackson would like to see harvest to harvest stewardship of forests, but recognizes the risk a forestry company would be taking on if they were responsible for the 60 to 80 years it takes a forest to develop. One forest fire could wipe of decades of investment. Forestry companies are also on the watch for invasive species like Scotch Broom or Chokecherry that can quickly fill up a block and out-compete little planted evergreens. But there’s hope. Even with all the variability and wicked weeds, the trees can hold their own once they find good purchase. “Conifers are good at outcompeting once their established,” said Jackson. Great news for the trees and people working to get them in the ground.
replanting, he noted, but there are instances when areas are deemed not satisfactorily replanted, and licenses suspended and fines levied as in the Meadow Creek Cedar case. Jackson said the case was “unfortunate” and that he was concerned all forestry companies would be painted with the same brush. Interfor has high standards, he told the Arrow Lakes News, and ensured they remained high by having third-party audits check their work. Checking was the reason for being out in the Cape Horn block. The quality of the planting is continually checked throughout the season. “The contractors knows what they’re doing,” said Jackson, but he and Sylvia Warrantz check to make sure everything is copasetic. Jackson and Warrantz play the part of ‘tree police’ on the block: Warrantz runs test plots to check for planting quality (depth, location, straight roots, etc.) and density. In an area planted by Steve Bialkowski, she runs her tape and measures distance between the trees

and checks to see how and where they’ve been planted. Trees that have the moss kicked away and the area around them “screefed” and are in a protected location have a greater chance of surviving. “Stumps, humps, and bumps,” said Warrantz, giving the credo she learned when she was planting trees. Each tree’s microsite is chosen to the best it can be while maintaining the right distance (minimum 1.4 metres) away from its seedling neighbours. Snow can move slash over the little trees, another consideration for planters putting thousands of trees in every day. Flashing their orange vest and letting know the planters their work is being paid some attention keeps people positive, said Jackson, that their work is appreciated. And the checkers aren’t the only ones who care. There are planters who come back to see how the trees they helped put in are doing years later, said Warrantz. Just then, a storm blew in and graupel covered the ground. For the next 10 minutes, winter had returned until the pea-sized snow pellets melted away. Bialkowski, the planter whose plot

Claire Paradis/Arrow Lakes News he works with. “There’s a contingent from the prairies that comes out every year,” he noted. More planters have made their way back to the road. One of these planters is Helen De Wit from Nakusp, planting for her second year. Yesterday she had reached a personal best of 1,275 trees. “I’m still the rookie though,” said De Wit, although she added, “anyone planting less than me, it looks bad on them.” Running another length of cord for a test plot, Warrantz was impressed with what she saw in De Wit’s area. “Helen’s a really conscientious planter,” she said. “She has a good species mix, she’s put cedar in the wetter ground, she kicks away the hinged moss. She plants a good tree.” Starting with good technique is important, Warrantz pointed out, as speed will

More than a dozen people turned out for the Fauquier community cleanup this year, and major progress was made on the Oak Street curbs and boulevards. Rob Forsen was kept hopping to direct all work made possible by heavy equipment – no wheelbarrows needed. Ray Kula once again donated truck, trailer, and skid-steer for fast loading and dumping of material, and when he was joined by Alan Devlin things really raced along. Other volunteers scraped and raked the persistent weeds and rock debris from winter snowplowing and were able to just push everything onto the road, no lifting required, for the machines to scoop up. It was a Fauquier community day: fuel was donated by J&S Snacks, the Community Club provided lunch, and FVFB Chief John Banta, who can always be relied on to man a BBQ, grilled up the hot dogs. Unfortunately no heavy equipment could get into the two large flower beds so Annette and Roberta along with several intermittent helpers had to muscle their way through the war of the weeds. When things warm up their hard work will yield some colourful results for all to enjoy. Rob’s organization kept everything perfectly on track and the result of the day’s work reflects very well on all the hard working volunteers.

Thank You
We would like to thank the staff of the Arrow Lakes Hospital for their care following Gary’s recent accident at our summer house. Dr Goranson and the nursing staff: your prompt care and quick action in sending him to Vernon made a big difference in the outcome of his surgery and recovery. He is at home mending well, with minimal side effects from his fall. A special thank you to the girls who took care of Lucy until someone could get there from Revelstoke to pick her up. You went above and beyond! We will be down to see you as soon as we can. Finally, thank you to the BC Ambulance attendants for their speedy and “oh so comfy� ride to Vernon. We are very appreciative of all you did. The kindness and care shown to us will not be forgotten, God bless you all. Gary & Fran Carlson

Soccer, blue skies and serious playing for Nakusp Cougars The senior girl squad had a hell of a weekend and proved the conviction of their moxie by playing through adversity and injury to produce an outstanding footy performance. The girl’s development as individuals and as a team continues to grow as experi-
ence and determination mold the Cougars into a cohesive unit. The girls will have a chance at redemption next week when they travel to Osoyoos for the last tournament before the Kootenay playoffs.

Special to the Arrow Lakes News
Nakusp managed to put last week’s weird weather behind them and brought out bluebird skies to frame some stellar soccer action at the Nakusp Invitational Soccer Tournament. Junior and senior soccer teams from around the province visited Cougar territory to try and vie for footy glory, pitting their guts against each other in a flurry of bouncing ponytails and colourful cleats. The Nakusp senior squad, coached by Rhonda Palmer and Jay Gardner, began the tournament with the challenging task of fighting through Ft. Saint James and Oliver to reach the top of their pool. In the first match the Cougars battled hard to maintain a 1-1 draw against Ft. Saint James. The determination of our girls forced the game into a shoot out,
and Kailee Reimer proved the quality of her mettle by turning away three out of five blistering shots from the penalty mark. Kaliee’s solid performance combined with our shooters success at finding the corners of the net earned the girls a big confidenceboosting win. The next game against Oliver quickly developed into the “Cougar Show” as the girls fell into a cohesive style of play and became unstoppable with crisp solid teamwork. It was certainly a thing of magic to watch the seniors come together as a squad with speed complimenting agility, as Nakusp continually found gaps in the Oliver defensive line. Ellen Weatherhead contributed to the 4-1 stomping by finishing off sweet through-ball passes from her teammates, earning herself a hat trick. With the pool won, the Cougars moved onto Saturday’s matches
Theatre BC Kootenay Zone
starting with a bout against Kimberly. Kimberly earned their spot on the pitch against the Cougars by beating Ashcroft and Trail in their pool. Teamwork was pitted against teamwork and Nakusp found themselves outplayed, falling to Kimberly in a disheartening 4-0 loss. Kimberly moved on to play Rossland in the final and battled their way to first place in the tournament. Nakusp faced off against Creston for a third or fourth placing and quickly found themselves in a street fight of a match. Each team ran their hearts out, but it was Creston that managed to find the back of the onion sack for a 1-0 lead. In the second half Nakusp dominated the play and pressured the ball into the offensive zone, but could not finish on any of their chances. At the whistle the sore remained at 1-0 and the game was lost. Nakusp earned a fourth place finish.
