RCMP files: tanker crash, tool theft, honest impaired driver Claire paradis Arrow Lakes News

Tanker in ditch A tanker hauling wet asphalt drove into the ditch across from Summit Lake, leaking some of its contents on Oct. 9. Nakusp RCMP contacted the Ministry of Environment and crews were sent to assess and clean up the scene. At 11:43 p.m., the Nakusp

RCMP received a call from the Arrow Lakes Hospital that the driver of a tractor trailer was being treated for injuries from an accident near Summit Lake. Swerving to avoid a deer, the driver had driven into the ditch across from the lake, about 20 kilometres east of Nakusp. The crash is currently being investigated by RCMP and Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement.

Theft of tools

but honest

A Stihl saw and an industrial weed whacker were stolen from a tree planting worksite near Wilson Creek Road, the Nakusp RCMP were told on Oct. 10. Each piece of equipment is worth approximately $700. Anyone with any information is asked to please call the Nakusp RCMP or Crimestoppers.

In the early hours of Oct. 13, Slocan Lake RCMP received word that an intoxicated female at a residence in Silverton had told the home owner that she was in an accident. Patrolling the area, police located the inebriated woman walking on Highway 6 at the South end of Silverton. The woman informed the officer that she had crashed her car, and that she had

been drinking. She gave two samples of breath on separate alcohol screening devices at roadside, with the results showing that the driver had a blood alcohol content over the legal limit. The woman was issued a 90 day Immediate Roadside Prohibition from driving and the vehicle was impounded for 30 days. -with files from Nakusp RCMP

Nakusp council meeting standing room only Claire paradis Arrow Lakes News

It was standing room only at the Oct. 15 Nakusp council meeting, and extra chairs had to be brought in to accommodate the public in the gallery. The majority of the assembled citizenry were from the Coachman Campground, either homeowners or landowners. At the end of agenda business, homeowner Shawna Lagore gave an impassioned speech on behalf of the residents of the park, asking council to develop a policy addressing issues around mobile home park redevelopment. In her speech she noted that other municipalities have developed such a policy and that parks are often a source of affordable housing. In a letter to council, Coachman Campground owners Ed and Susan Kostuch defended the Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Act currently in place, saying no municipal policy was necessary as they believed the Act was equitable. According to the Act, landowners who serve eviction notice are required to pay out twelve months’ pad rental in compensation. “If the Village was to require the landlord to pay up to $10,000 in moving expenses this could work out to forty months or over three years of pad rent,” noted the letter from the Kostuchs. If the landowners were required to pay the market value of a home that couldn’t find a nearby pad, it could costs more than 16 years in pad rental, on property that the owners have been paying taxes, maintenance. Steep penalties like this could discourage investors who make rental properties available, the Kostuchs’ letter pointed out.

BRE keeps on rollin’ Councillor Ulli Mueller announced that the Business Retention and Expansion plan is to be rolled out to the public after an initial presentation on Oct. 23 to the steering committee and council. “I think it’s going to be a

really interesting report and will guide us in a lot of our decisions,” commented Mueller.

the Chalets come on board.” No changes are planned for the hot springs at this time, she said.

Loggone it

Launch questions

NACFOR is a few truckloads of firewood lighter than it should be, thanks to thieves who have stolen three or four logging truckloads of wood from the Slewiskin cut block. “There are some individuals with a voracious appetite for firewood – they are becoming a real nuisance by ignoring signage and cutting into piles of logs that are destined to be sold by NACFOR,” Coun. Tom Zeleznik reported. “We are keeping our ear to the ground to figure out who is doing this.”

NYC pilot flying high Coun. Joseph Hughes told council that the youth group in town who recently opened the Nakusp Youth Centre are looking for continued support from the community via donations of money and supplies to keep the space open. The centre is a three-month pilot project, but will stay open if the support is there to do so.

Departmental restructuring Mike Pedersen is now the Director of Operations for Arena and Parks, and Public Works, a new temporary nonunion position which could become permanent. The union is on side with the move, and the restructuring will mean not only that Pedersen is taking a oneyear leave of absence from the Public Works Manager position but that Richard Cann becomes Assistant Manager of Arena and Parks and Bob Gresiuk Assistant Manager of Public Works. When asked if similar restructuring plans were in place for the Nakusp Hot Springs managerial position now that the Cedar Chalets will become part of Village operations on Nov. 12, CAO Tynan told the Arrow Lakes News “at this point in time we haven’t determined what is happening when

There’s been a question about seasonal access via the Nakusp boat ramp. “It was not anything that council had understood before with BC Hydro,” said Tynan, “that the agreement limited them to only having to provide seasonal access.” The Village CAO pointed out that the utility had been contributing to snow clearing, for example. Hydro’s interpretation of their requirement is that they only to provide seasonal access. However, the documentation is not clear, and the Village has sent a letter to the Comptroller of Water requesting further clarification of BC Hydro’s responsibility. Mayor Hamling said it is important to highlight one clause in the access order that states “[w]hereas enjoyment of the reservoir area in a manner similar to that which was available to the public prior to the creation of the reservoir.” Coun. Mueller asked if the concern is with the length of the ramp as it is now, or as it will be when it’s completed. Mayor Hamling responded that the concern is that users will have to deal with reduced access in the meantime, adding how long it could take to complete the project is unknown, given Hydro’s track record “In the meantime, what if it takes five or six years to get there for some reason,” she stated. “Look at how long it has taken for Hydro to even build the darn thing.”

Breakwater news BC Hydro has told Nakusp the only way they will provide a breakwater is in the event that the marina would no longer exist. I found this astounding that a letter would come back saying as long as you’ve got a marina

there you don’t need a breakwater. That says to me that the marina is acting as a breakwater,” Hamling told council. “I believe we have the right to appeal this decision and I think we need to do that .” CAO Tynan added that there is the precedence of other situations where comptroller initially said no but the decision was appealed and a different answer was reached.

Cemeteries are for life Like his life, Bunty Maxfield’s memorial is extraordinary. The headstone, made out of concrete, is a larger size than normal, and doesn’t fit into the bylaw regulations. Coun. Mueller moved that the installation of the headstone was approved, with the addition of a conditional waiver that the family look after the stone. Coun. Guy Duchaine it was “unsustainable” to have waivers for family upkeep, as the headstone may outlive generations of family. She said that cemeteries in Europe have a variety of markers that make them a feature rather than plots of cookie cutter memorials. A motion to review the bylaw was also passed.

Request for redundancy requested The Village is formally requesting BC Hydro install a second line of service to provide redundancy in case of power outages. Although the substation is to be replaced, only one line will be coming in to Nakusp. CAO Tynan said she was told by Hydro at UBCM that it would be very expensive to put another line in, and therefore unlikely to happen. “I thought it was quite cheeky of them to say it was too expensive to put a second line here,” mayor Hamling remarked. “We’re the area that’s been affected so the rest of the province can have power.”

Not gone in 60 seconds: low auto crime in Koots Smiles SMILE OF EEK ofTHE theW Week Black Press

The West Kootenay-Boundary area is hardly a hotbed of hot cars, according to a database created by The Vancouver Sun. Using information supplied by ICBC, the newspaper put together an interactive map that showed the frequency of auto crime in the province, including all auto thefts, thefts from autos, and vandalism reported to the provincial insurer from 2009-12. As it turns out, stolen car claims in this area are rare: no community recorded double digits in a single year. The highest total was nine in Castlegar in 2009. In the last three years Rossland had none, but a total of six in 2009. Thefts from vehicle claims are similarly uncommon, with less than a handful in each place per year. Vandalism, however, is a lot more prevalent: Nelson and its immediate area saw 23

cases last year resulting in insurance claims and 19 the previous year. Trail recorded 29 cases in 2009 and 42 cases in 2010, although many were blamed on a single culprit. A 40-year-old man pled guilty to two charges but was suspected in 84 incidents. Rossland only had four incidents in the last four years. Smaller communities, while not immune, see auto crime even less often. Slocan only had two incidents of vandalism over the four years, both recorded in 2010. The ICBC numbers don’t necessarily match what is reported to police departments. Nelson police, for instance, recorded 13 stolen vehicle complaints in 2012, only a few of which resulted in insurance claims. Hardly any thefts from vehicles were on ICBC’s radar, even though police responded to 47 incidents last year, down from 91 in 2010. “We don’t have a very significant prob-

lem here by and large,” said Nelson police chief Wayne Holland. “But even one auto theft or break in is going to concern the victim.” Holland brought the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team’s bait car program to Nelson in 2011 after working with it in the Lower Mainland. The policeowned vehicles have engines that can be disabled remotely and are equipped with GPS systems and on-board video and audio systems. Since the program began in 2003, over 1,200 arrests have been made and BC has seen a 71 per cent decrease in auto theft, although not all of it can be attributed to bait cars. BC still had the fourth-worst auto theft rate in the country in 2011, after the Prairie provinces, with 289 vehicles stolen per 100,000 people compared to 239 per 100,000 Canada-wide.

Murder In The Museum novelist in Nelson Oct. 28 Contributed by Tom Wayman

Murder mystery fans and fiction buffs won’t want to miss a preHallowe’en free reading by Vancouver author Miriam Clavir from her novel Insinuendo: Murder in the Museum at Touchstones Nelson Museum of Art and History, 502 Vernon St., on Monday, Oct. 28 at 7:30 p.m. Costumes are optional at the reading, part of this fall’s Oxygen Art Centre’s Presentation Series. Clavir is no stranger to the inside of museums, having spent her career as an art and artifacts conservator at the Royal Ontario Museum, Parks Canada’s Historic Sites Service, and for many years at the UBC Museum of Anthropology (MOA). Insinuendo: Murder in the Museum, is set at UBC’s MOA. “Protagonist Berry Cates, a mid-life divorcée at the edge of a new career,

finds herself in a maze of shady art collectors and curators with a climbthe-ladder agenda of murder,” wrote the Hamilton Spectator in reviewing Clavir’s novel. “There are plenty of suspects in this anthropological pond of malfunctioning malcontents but Cates get to the bottom of it. Insinuendo is a strong debut that should lead to more by Clavir in this fertile new ground for mysteries.” BC Bookworld’s summer 2013 issue described the novel as “a story of intrigue in the world of art and artifacts, told with humour. It’s not just a whodunit. It’s also a novel about growing older, and growing up, examining more closely one’s actions, body and beliefs, including what is right.” The Oxygen Art Centre’s 20132014 Presentation Series is supported by the Columbia Basin Trust and the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance.

that they bow under the weight. This past winter scientists estimated only 60 million made it – a decline of more than 80 per cent. Why are monarch populations at a 20-year low? Although the Mexican government has halted industrial logging in their winter home, serious threats remain, including illegal logging. Scientists say the main threats, though, are record-setting heat waves (which reduce reproductive success) and pervasive use of genetically modified crops. One of the most important reproductive areas for the monarch is the U.S. Midwest, which has historically been blanketed with milkweed. This plant contains small amounts of cardenolide, a foul-tasting substance that can be toxic in large quantities. The monarch caterpillar eats only milkweed for this reason. Predators dislike the cardenolide stored in the monarch’s body, so they learn to steer clear of flittering things with orange and black wings. Despite the conversion of much of the arable land in the Midwest to agriculture during the past couple of centuries, milkweed continued to grow along edges and between rows of crops – feeding millions of monarch caterpillars. Over the past decade, about 150 million hectares of farmland in the region – an area about the size of Saskatchewan – have been planted with soybean and corn genetically modified to tolerate herbicides, known as “Roundup Ready” crops. Instead of tilling fields, farmers spray herbicides that kill all plants but the crop. This has wiped out much of the milkweed. With a decline of monarchs in Mexico and pervasive threats during migration, it wasn’t entirely surprising that they arrived in Canada six weeks later than nor-

mal this summer in unprecedented low numbers. Point Pelee National Park in Leamington, Ontario, even cancelled its annual monarch count because of lack of butterflies. While the future of the monarch looks bleak, we can all help ensure its survival. At home you can create a butterfly garden to provide habitat and food for monarchs and other pollinators. Plant milkweed and nectar-producing native flowers, like wild bergamot, New England aster and black-eyed Susans – especially ones with yellow, pink, orange and purple flowers. Adding these plants to gardens, balconies, parks and green spaces – and encouraging local schools, businesses and institutions to do the same – will help bees and butterflies stay healthy and well-fed. Want to go bigger than making your yard or park a butterfly haven? Check out the David Suzuki Foundation’s Homegrown National Park project in Toronto. It aims to create a butterfly corridor through the heart of the city by encouraging residents, businesses and institutions to add more green to yards, balconies, rooftops, streets, alleys and parks. In the project’s first year, pollinator gardens were planted in more than a dozen locations along the Homegrown National Park corridor, including a network of “canoe gardens” in local parks and bee-and-butterfly gardens in schoolyards, health facilities and front- and backyards. Momentum is building for even grander green interventions next year. So, while the monarchs have already begun their journey south, I encourage you to start preparing for next year’s butterflies. Head to your local nursery and get your milkweed on. And do what you can to bring nature to your neighbourhood.

Horses and girls go together like peanut butter and jam sandwiches. In this case, Brianna McCoy from New Denver and Ashley Friedenberger from Nakusp got to practice in the show ring some of the skills they have been learning for the past years in the practice ring. Both Ashley and Brianna have been working hard over the last few years learning not only about riding a horse, but also caring for one, cleaning up after one and handling one from the ground. Ashley, who has been taking riding lesson at Fox Meadows Equine Center since she was seven years old, successfully competed in her first horse show on Smeagol, a horse she has part leased from FMEC. Ashley entered four riding classes in total and came home with four first place ribbons at the Halloween HoDown show at the Nelson Riding Club Grounds on October 6, 2013. Ashley competed in Pleasure, Equitation, Request and Trail. A Pleasure class is judged on the way the horse goes, obediently and quietly along the rail. Equitation has a rail portion as well as individual tests and is judged on the rider’s ability. Request is when the judge can ask for anything, including

sideways (lateral) movement which Ashley and Smeagol did very well and very correctly (awesome as this was a new skill for Ashley). Trail is an individual test of different obstacles a rider could find while out riding on the trail. Ashley successfully negotiated a rope gate, side passing towards a scary Halloween mask, then placing the mask on a different post and side passing away from it, trot over poles, a very tight 350 degree turn box and walking backwards around an ‘L’ shape. This was a difficult, technical class in which Ashley piloted the horse with skill and patience. Brianna has been taking lessons at FMEC for three years. She has part leased Rubus, a smooth coat Baskir Curly. This was Brianna’s third show in two years. Her first show was last summer and she thought it was great fun. Brianna came home with a ribbon in every class she entered. In Costume (she dressed her and Rubus up in a clown costume, super cute!) she got a second place (hard to beat the little girl dressed up as a mermaid on her sea horse). For Showmanship Open – this is an in hand class against all ages, including adults, judged on the handler and the way the handler ‘shows’ the horse – she received third place; Pleasure, 3rd. In Horsemanship Open – another class with a memorized pat-

tern to perform as well as a rail portion competing with all ages from child to adult – she earned second, and Horsemanship First Chance (same class as open but competing with riders who haven’t won four first-place ribbons in that class) she won first place. Command Class (a fun class kind of like musical chairs in the fact that as the judge calls out commands, riders and horses must complete the command asap. Riders are eliminated one at a time if they do not correctly complete the command first, until only one rider is left) Brianna tied for third place. The last class she entered was Pole Bending walk/trot. Pole Bending is a Gaming event where riders race against the clock with the fastest time winning. Brianna was fastest, clean and won. Both Brianna and Ashley competed on the horses they have been working with exclusively all summer. The girls tried hard, practiced lots and it showed. We left Fox Meadows EC at 6 a.m. and didn’t get home until after 6 p.m. Then there was still another hour of unloading the horses from the trailer, taking off their shipping boots, unloading the tack and equipment and cleaning the trailer. It was a long day, but

Brianna was plastered with ribbons by the end of her competition. Photo courtesy Faye Fox everyone thought it was well worth it. Brianna McCoy and Ashley Friedenberger’s dedication and commitment are a joy.You are the future of our sport and I look forward to watching you continue to grow and learn more skills in the Equestrian Industry.

Laughter, suspense and a sprinkling of magic dust

Athlete of the Week

Kelly Waterfield

www.arrowlakesnews.com

There was a ripple of anticipation throughout the small but lively crowd assembled in the Nakusp Public Library last Wednesday evening as Deryn Collier took the floor. Deryn was due to read from her One Book One Kootenay award winning book “Confined Space” and in the process entertain everyone with her amusing anec-

dotes plus a little bit of magic that none of us could quite figure out. She possesses a quirky sense of humour and in no time had members of the audience participating in some very strange goings on! Apparently Deryn, the name, means “little bird” in Welsh, so that explained, more or less why she had a tiny replica of a bird pinned to her head. No wisecracks involving birds and brains were even considered. Born in New Brunswick and having lived in various Ontario towns, Deryn spent her teenage years in Montreal and graduated from McGill University. Now a resident of Creston, she sets her stories locally, which gives them some extra pizzazz for fellow Kootenay dwellers. She had always harboured a secret desire to write, but put it aside as a pipe dream, probably never to become reality. After a succession of excellent jobs, she landed one in a brewery which really suited her. However the writing bug kept gnawing away until she finally gave up work to fol-

low her dream. This was no easy task with a husband and two small boys to care for, but thanks to some wonderful friends she pulled it off. Hence her debut novel (predictably enough set in a brewery) was born and launched to great acclaim, garnering a nomination for the Crime Writers of Canada award. Deryn had promised herself that if her first novel was a success, it would be the first in a series with the coroner in “Confined Space,” one Bern Fortin, featuring in future books. The second in the series is called “Open Secret” and is due to be published next Spring, something to look forward to for all who enjoyed her first book. There is no doubt we have not heard the last of this talented writer and her standout character, the charismatic Bern Fortin. I, for one, am eagerly awaiting the next suspense filled tale, again set in our very own Kootenays and dealing with a topic that is probably as open a secret as you can get.

Potter party better than a poke with a sharp stick

The Nakusp Library was filled with curious critters and curiouser classes with wacky professors on Oct. 18. Photos courtesy Nakusp Public Library By Angus Schroff

Special to the Arrow Lakes News

Harry Potter. Those two words have made more people more money than one hundred thousand clones of you could ever dream. What was once a simple series of books has now grown into an immense franchise, with

theme parks, action figures, movies, lunch boxes, and whatever else executives can conceive. The entire franchise is worth $15 billion. You could take a coffee pot, slap a fuzzy jpeg of ol’ Harry on there and make money. The books have been translated into 67 languages, including Latin. Latin. The language used for flora and fauna

classification, because it’s dead. Who translates a book into a dead language? Seriously. So, Harry Potter’s a huge deal. Huge enough to make it all the way over here to the unofficial middle of nowhere? Yes, thanks to our local library and some eager volunteers. On Friday, Oct. 18, the Nakusp Public Library held a Harry Potter party, complete with wands, houses, potions, and snacks, of course. Organized by Linda Van Immerzeel, who’s about as crazy for Harry Potter as I am for cars, and Cindy Schroff (Hi mom!), the party was a roaring success. With help from all the library personnel, and a few others out of the goodness of their hearts, it was just as magical as its subject matter. First of all, there was the matter of sorting. Everybody got a house, be it Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Slytherin, or the popular Gryffindor. After that, the kids could go see Linda’s husband, Jerry, as Garrick Ollivander, the wand maker, the ever-important snack table, or mean old Professor Snape, played by yours truly. Well, blonde Snape, but Snape all the same. I even had an assistant in my friend Jessica JonesHannah as Dobby, who helped counterbalance my absolute failures at dealing with kids. Due to the costs of shipping exotic magical paraphernalia to a backwoods Canadian town, we were only able to make two potions; Exploding Elixir and Fleeing Spiders. The first was the old standby of “put some baking soda and vinegar together and watch it fizz,” but the second was more interesting. Apparently, if you put dish soap in water with pepper in it, the pepper scatters like a roomful of people after a particularly noxious fart. If they tired of my horrible Alan Rickman accent, they could go to Linda as Professor Trelawney, or Paula Rogers as McGonagall. Most eventually settled into the tried-and-true standby of getting hyped up on sugar and running around with pointed sticks. Thankfully, no one put their eye out, and all the kids seemed to leave happy. Whether it was because they liked Harry Potter or liked free sweets, we may never know. The party was a big success. The kids had fun, the adults had fun, and everybody got to be a wizard for an hour or two. Though no actual magic spells were cast, it was about as close as you can get. And hey, kids have good imaginations.

“Jolie,” who is six months plus one week old won the Winners Bitch (best female non-champion) at the US National Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever Show on Oct 6, 2013 in Syracuse, NY. “Jolie” is bred, owned and shown by Til Niquidet of Nakusp, B.C. Niquidet and her dog team walked away with several awards in addition to the Winners Bitch. A technicality removed the top dog in the best male category, which placed Niquidet’s “Tri” in the number one spot, so the breeder walked away with the two top non-champion class awards. Select Dog (second spot out of 218 entries) and Judges First Award of Merit (third out of 218) were also awarded to her canine companions

in show. Her Tollers also walked away with Best Veteran in Sweepstakes and Best Puppy in Show at the national championship. Til Niquidet, who runs Pikkinokka Kennels has been breeding and showing Finnish Spitz for 38 years and started raising Duck Tollers since 1987. She has had many winners of both breeds. “The Toller is one of Canada’s National Breeds and is used for luring and retrieving waterfowl,” Niquidet told the Arrow Lakes News. “They are the smallest of the retrieving breeds and make a cheerful and obedient family pet.” Niquidet’s puppies have found homes all over the world. The breeder was very happy with the dogs’ results at the show, and happy to be back in the Kootenays with her hot dogs.

There will be a fundraiser held for Jennifer Scott, a young local girl who has recently been diagnosed with cancer. The event will be held at the Leland Hotel on November 16, 2013. There will be a number of local musicians & bands performing, along with a Silent auction with donations from local residents and businesses including a logging truck load of firewood. Jan and Pat Dion will be shaving their heads in support of Jennifer & are looking for Sponsors. We are accepting donations for the silent auction as well as cash donations. There are also donation jars around town & they are collecting bottles at the liquor store as well. Please call 250 265 4685 or 250 265 4165 if you have something you would like to donate for the auction , or if you are a musician who would like a chance to perform at the event. Donations can also be dropped off at the liquor store with Debbie Godtmark.
