An RCMP dive team continued to search Monday afternoon for three New Denver area youths whose canoe overturned on Slocan Lake but police are now calling it a “recovery mission.” The mishap Saturday claimed the life of Lily HarmerTaylor, 19, while Jule Wiltshire-Padfield, 15, Hayden Kyle, 21, and Skye Donnet, 18, remain missing. “At this point due to the circumstances involved, cold water, distance from shore, the depth of the lake and length of time since they were last seen this [is] now being considered a recovery mission,” RCMP Sgt. Darryl Little said Monday.

The lake temperature is 1.1 degrees Celsius. The spot where the canoe submerged was initially estimated to be 250 feet (76 meters) deep, but Little said they have since learned it is closer to 480 feet (146 meters), “making any recovery more difficult.” The four youths were paddling north from New Denver to Rosebery where two of them lived. The cause of the mishap is unknown — conditions were good when they set out. None had lifejackets on. Around 5:30 p.m. Saturday, a man walking along a trail near the beach spotted a partially submerged canoe in the lake, about 150 meters offshore of Bigelow Bay, with two people holding on to either end. The man ran to a nearby home to call police. When search and rescue, paramedics, and the local fire department responded, they found Harmer-Taylor unconscious inside the canoe, but couldn’t find the others. She was taken to hospital in New Denver, where she died overnight. The search was suspended due to darkness but resumed Sunday with a helicopter and boats scouring the lake and shoreline. “This, unfortunately, was not successful,” Little said.

the youths borrowed described them as “wonderful kids.” “They were really full of life and fun. Just marvellous people,” said Dan Nicholson, publisher of the Valley Voice. “It’s a huge loss.” All four are from the area although Kyle grew up in Gibsons. Kyle and HarmerTaylor both lived with Nicholson’s family in Rosebery,

and planned to hitchhike to Regina to see her father. She was just finishing high school in New Denver. Last fall, Nicholson and his wife offered her a place to stay. On Saturday, the four took the canoe from Nicholson’s porch, but left the lifejackets sitting in the mud room. They didn’t tell him they were taking it, although he’s never had a

while Donnet lived with them when he was younger. Nicholson said except for Kyle, he knew them all since infancy, as they were friends with his own kids. Each had one parent living locally and another somewhere else and they “bounced back and forth.” Kyle had been staying with Nicholson’s family for a couple of months. He moved from the Sunshine

problem with them using it. “They’re 15 to 21. They don’t tell me everything they’re doing,” he said. “If they’d asked, of course I would have said ‘Yes — be sure to grab the life jackets.’” Nicholson knows they reached New Denver and spent a few hours in town, because he saw some of them there. The tragedy occurred on the return trip. He believes the three lo-

Saturday, Nicholson’s son felt unwell, so he took him to the local hospital. When he got home, he saw several emergency vehicles go by. Minutes later, Donnet’s mother phoned to ask if Nicholson knew what was going on. Soon after, he went outside and met the mother of the local search and rescue leader who told him Harm-

er-Taylor was in trouble and suggested he return to the hospital. “They brought her in and tried to warm her up,” Nicholson said. “They worked on her for five hours. They tried the defibrillator several times.” But to no avail: HarmerTaylor died overnight. On Sunday evening, a large group met for a healing ceremony. “There was a fire down on the beach and people put candles out into the water. They threw wreathes,” Nicholson said. “It’s incredibly tragic.” In a written statement, New Denver mayor Ann Bunka said her community and all others along Slocan Lake are “reeling” from the tragedy. “This is a small community and every accident and loss is personal. This is a close knit community that rallies together in times of need and never has this been more apparent,” she said. “The outpouring of assistance to do whatever is needed is a trademark of this community and in times of loss is a reminder of why we live here.” Bunka thanked the local fire department, BC Ambulance, RCMP, and search and rescue for their help and noted counselling is available to anyone who needs it.

Spring has sprung and with the fluctuating weather that comes with the season, Kimberly of Nakusp is sporting a 60’s inspired shirt dress and leggings which I found trending all through the valley this season along with patterns of never ending imagination and bold colors. This style is full of character and her 20’s inspired bob fits perfectly into place with this great outfit.

Tragedy in New Denver affects the West Kootenay No other word suffices when talking about the canoe mishap that occurred on Slocan Lake on the weekend. The vessel, with four young people aboard, apparently capsized, plunging the group into the chilly water. As we pen this editorial, one is dead and three others are still missing. While search and rescue continue to survey the lake, the efforts are looking more and more like a recovery mission. Again, we say tragic. The community of New Denver, where the boaters were from, is in shock. The families are dealing with unimaginable grief. The police and rescuers are grimly focussing on their jobs. Even reporters covering the story are impacted by the tragedy. All are asking the same questions. Why did this happen? Could it have been avoided? Could more have been done? As usual in these situations, there are no easy

answers. Reports indicate the four were not wearing life jackets. But there is no way to know if life jackets would have helped them fight off the water’s icy grip. Still, one wonders if floatation devices could have provided more time, allowing rescuers to find them. In a world where we heavily advertise the dangers of drinking and driving, where seatbelt ads fill our TV screens and warnings about paying attention in everyday situations are everywhere, we have to ask ourselves: is the safety message getting through to our youth? Maybe there is too much attention paid to road safety and not enough to boating. We can’t say for sure. And right now it matters little to the families. All we can do is support them, offer help and our prayers. Then we can go home and give our kids a hug.

A column - By Ryan Willman

Mothers Day was on Sunday May 11th, and as I sit to write this little reflection The radio spots, chocolate advertisements and contests have done their part to remind me that Mothers Day is on Sunday May 11th, and as I sit to write this little reflection (which also acts as its own reminder) on Saturday morning after I have made my shopping list so as to make the missus her much deserved Eggs-Benedict on behalf of my daughter, I hearken back to my own mothers day revelation I had several months ago in the throws of winter. There I was, kneeling down for the umpteenth time to tuck my daughter’s gloves back into the sleeves of her snow suite, and then, turning to put my own boots and coat on, what do I hear? Well, none other than the subdued whimpering of my daughter begging me to re-tuck the gloves because they had slipped out again.

It was in the ensuing musical sigh of frustration as I knelt down to accommodate her request that I was suddenly struck with the urge to call my mother and thank her for all of the times she must have gone through the glove-tuck dance. Not necessarily to thank her for the act itself, but to tell her that I get it; I finally understand what love and sacrifice are all about. Tucking the gloves; it is an act that goes completely above and beyond the duties of protect and nurture. The gloves are on, the hands are protected from the elements, but that extra little step to accommodate the comfort of a child is wherein lies the nature of a mothers love; simply because the gloves don’t necessarily have to be tucked in, but a parent will habitually perform this little unnecessary task.

Sure, I can recall an untold number of times when my mother went above and beyond the regular expectations of providing me the basics of survival and heroically helped me steer the ship of my youth through the troubled waters of the 90’s. But it was those damn gloves and that sweet, but pathetic look on my daughter’s face spawned the sudden epiphany to call my mom. Of course, I didn’t follow through with the urge as the planned outing into the snow could not have been put off at the time, and I didn’t think to follow up on the urge later in the day when a call would have been more opportune. But the thought stuck with me, and I filed it away in my mind to be used on May 11th. We often make note that it’s the little

things that count, and on Mothers Day we tend to augment that thought with remembrances of superhuman feats of emotional and physical support, but for me, it’s the combination of the two that will be lovingly penned in this years Mothers Day card. This year, I will be celebrating the superhuman strength it takes to endure the patience of all those annoying little things that mothers have to do for us. As Dexter Holland of the 90’s band, The Offspring, writes, “the more you suffer, the more you really care. Right? Yeah.” Truly an empathetic understanding that, I believe, any son or daughter cannot be told, but rather needs to be experienced to genuinely understand.

Trail Society On May 9 at 11 a.m. there was a contingency of ex-military members of the Royal Canadian Legion in Nakusp laying a wreath at the Cenotaph to recognize the end of the war for Canada in Afghanistan.

Regular maintenance of the trails is a fickle thing to plan. Ryan Willman Arrow Lakes News Reporter

Trail maintenance is an ongoing process; the wilds and the weather can throw all manner of debris and complications across a trail barring access or creating annoying and potentially harmful obstacles. Those outdoor enthusiasts who frequent trial systems can tell you that at any given time ones sense of stewardship might be called upon to pick up a little careless garbage, or move some branches or rocks off of the trail, clearing the path for those who will inevitably follow. All those little acts of general kindness certainly help to clear the arteries cutting through the woods to open access to the valleys and vistas of the Arrow Lakes wilderness, but every once in awhile the trails need more attention than just a few helpful hikers. In comes the Nakusp Trail Society, who since 2011 has been working to maintain the existence and well being of eight local trails for the enjoyment of all. On May 8 Barb Chwachka, Barry Rein and Frank Kennedy were called to action by Wulf Mense to tackle the Mac Trail (also known as Kuskanux Mountain Road) which was in need of attention after the winter sabotage. This was the first scheduled maintenance of the year. “It is a little rough right now,” Mense said. “The road needs im-

provement. The only access now is with a high clearance vehicle.” The crew of four traveled to the access road with the goal of clearing the rocks and trees that had fallen during the winter and to make sure that the 1200 vertical meters to the top parking lot could be access by those who wanted to achieve the views at the summit. Regular maintenance of the trails and their access roads is a fickle thing to plan; Mense has a year-long maintenance schedule in mind, however, given the unpredictable nature of nature, any maintenance plan needs to have a certain amount of flexibility and manpower. “We need more volunteers, we have 4-6 people showing up regularly, but it would be nice to have more. Some maintenance jobs are just easier to do with more people,” he said. “This year will be done differently,” Mense added. “The Trail Society will not be committing to weekly hikes as they have done in the past. Instead we will find people to commit to a hike, that way we have someone for sure and it will be easier on our volunteers.” Hikes organized through the society are advertised on their facebook page, through emails sent out to members and documented in pamphlets that are distributed to select businesses in town. Mense recommends that interested hikers should check out their web site for more information.

Story Time at the Library

RYAN WILLMAN

Arrow Lakes News Reporter

Orange balloons that are actually purple? Children ignoring the pseudo rules of the adult in charge? The normally calm and cool atmosphere of the library replaced by music, food and enough boisterous behavior to make even the most stereotypically stern librarian bluster and blush? All is chaos at the Nakusp Public Library during the topsyturvy story time every Saturday from 10 a.m. to noon. “I’m the adult, I am the librarian and you have the follow the rules and my rules are no laughing and kids have to be quiet at all times!” storyteller Sabina Iseli-Otto blurts at an eager and energetic group of kids with a wry smile. Fortunately, the good-natured chiding causes a wave

of smiles and uncontrollable giggles as the group crowds around the storybook being brought to life by the enigmatic Sabina. Youngsters of all ages are treated to a variety of children’s books, with intermittent breaks of balloon play, hide and seek games and (in defiance of the food taboo in a library) a healthy snack. Some sessions even have additional surprises like special guest readers and unique craft ideas.

May is Hospice Palliative Care Month in Canada May is Hospice Palliative Care Month in Canada and the Nakusp Hospice Society is dedicated to ensuring that the last stages of life are comfortable and peaceful. Nakusp Hospice volunteers work closely with the dying, their family members, friends, community volunteers, physicians, nurses and other health care professionals to help clients live the remainder of their lives in dignity and comfort. This compassionate palliative care offered by a team of dedicated volunteers is provided free of charge to anyone who desires the service. The Society Coordinator, Helen Scown, has been provided with an office in the Minto House. This has proven to be an excellent opportunity for the coordinator, to work in close proximity to residents and staff, and to give the Hospice Society more exposure in the community. The coordinator and 18 trained volunteers are supported by an Executive Board consisting of eight volunteer members from our community. The board is responsible for the administration of the Nakusp Hospice Society and for insuring that Provincial and Hospice Society guidelines are followed. The Nakusp Hospice Society is extremely fortunate to

be supported by so many individuals and groups in our community. It is wonderful to have this opportunity to recognize and thank them. Each one plays an integral part in the success of all those involved in providing Hospice services to the community. The Arrow Lakes Hospital Administration: for office space and group meeting facilities. The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 20: for continuing to provide us with the proceeds of meat draws and a drop-in bingo. These funds assist in maintaining the Garden of Serenity and the patient room at Minto House and help offset costs incurred in sending our coordinator and volunteers to workshops out of town. Hub International Barton Insurance: for providing space for our memorial tree each December and accepting donations for the Society. Carson’s Corner and Overwaitea Foods: for donating grocery items for our bingo concession. We would also like to thank The Treasure Trove, for donating helium balloons for our first annual “Hike for Hospice”, held on Sunday May 4th – a National event to raise awareness and funds for Hospice Societies across Canada.

100% of the funds raised stay in each individual community. Watch for our advertising next January, and consider forming a team and getting sponsors, to help us raise awareness and money locally. The Nakusp Hospice Society has purchased books which are available to borrow from the Nakusp Public Library. Please visit our website at www.nakusphospice.com to read a book review and for more information about Hospice. If you wish to participate in the work of the Hospice Society, either as a volunteer or board member, or if you would like more information about the services provided by Hospice, please contact either Helen Scown or Lee-Anne Marshall. If you would like to make a donation in memory of someone who has passed away, there are envelopes available through Hub International, Barton Insurance, Helen or Caroline Huyter. Just a reminder that Hospice is hosting the meat draws at the Legion, every Saturday during the month of May. We hope to see you! Thanks, for your support.

The illustrated talk, “For Gabby Goo Goo: Bob Dylan Children’s Troubadour,” by Roderick McGillis will take place at the Nakusp Public Library on May 24, Bob Dylan’s 73rd birthday. The motive of this talk is simple: to convince people that Bob Dylan’s music remains as relevant today as it was fifty years ago, and that this music seeks a cross generational audience. Children, especially, can find stimulation in this music. In order to underline the connection between Dylan and children, we will hear (recorded, not live) a quartet of children from New Zealand, ages 7 to 11, singing some of Dylan’s songs. These children form the group, The Starbugs. Dylan has said, “I hate oppression, especially on children,” an assertion that might remind us

of lines from the song, “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall.” In this song, we hear of guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children, and of a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it, and a young woman whose body was burning, and a young child beside a dead pony, images all of vulnerable children. Written during the Cuban missile crisis of 1962, the song registers the fear and anger stirred by the doctrine of mutual destruction. The focus of the final part of the presentation is on this song. Here is Dylan’s comment on the song: “when asked what you think of Gene Autry singing A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” say that nobody can sing it as well as Peter, Paul and Mary.” The talk will take place in the Nakusp Public Library, on Saturday, May 24, at 7:00 p.m. Come one, come all.

ally occur only in regenerating clearcuts when a good deciduous layer has developed. But even habitat is of limited use in places where drier open country and coniferous habitats, exist side by Gary Davidson side, such as in the CastlegarTrail region, and in the Okanagan Valley. Identification by song, however, also has its limitations: birds only sing during the breeding season! Birds seen at other times of year are often silent, making identification extremely difficult. A few years ago I was birding near the campsite at Box Lake and could hear a Hammond’s Flycatcher somewhere nearby. When I saw it, I was surprised to see it so close to the ground. This species typically feeds much higher in the trees. I noticed that the bird was repeatedly perching on the same branch and then almost immediately flying off. After observing this behaviour for a few minutes, I realised it was building a nest on that branch. Hammond’s Flycatcher nests are hard to find; I had never seen one before, and have not seen one since. A couple of weeks later I returned and saw an adult bird sitting on the now completed nest. The nest was partially hidden by an overhanging branch and was very difficult to find, even though I knew it was there. As the name suggests, flycatchers are insect eating birds. Most of their food is taken in the air. Typically they sit on an open perch where they wait for a meal to fly by. With a quick burst they dash out, seize the prey, and quickly return to a perch to eat it. Some species habitually return to the same perch each time. So, if you see a small drab bird behaving in this manner, you are probably watching a flycatcher. Turning to your field guide, however, in the hopes of identifying it, might lead to considerable frustration!

Birds of Nakusp

In the last couple of weeks, Hammond’s Flycatchers have returned to our region. Flycatchers are one of the most difficult groups of bird to learn, particularly those of the genus Empidonax. This group, known as the ‘empids’ by most birders, is conspicuously lacking in field marks and are all very similar in appearance. In the black and white photograph shown here, this bird could be any one of several species! All empids are a shade of olive-grey on the back with pale, sometimes faintly yellow, undersides. All have pale bars in the wings and most have a white ring around the eye, more conspicuous in some than others. The Hammond’s is a bird of the coniferous forest and is, therefore, the most common empid in our region. In damp places along streams and marshes the Willow Flycatcher is also quite regular. Pacific-slope Flycatcher, Dusky Flycatcher and Least Flycatcher also occur in our region but are quite sparsely distributed. The Alder Flycatcher is quite rare here and is not seen every year. This brings the empid total to six species, six species that are almost indistinguishable in the field! So how do birders tell one empid from another? The best method is by their song. The word song is perhaps used a little loosely here; the sounds that these birds make would hardly be considered a “song” by most people! But in some cases, even the song is of limited use. The Hammond’s and the Dusky Flycatchers have songs that are so similar that even experienced birders can sometimes have difficulty separating them! Habitat preference can sometimes be used to help separate these two birds: Hammond’s prefer coniferous forests; Dusky prefers drier, more open habitats. Since our region is dominated by coniferous forests, Dusky Flycatchers are not common here; they gener-
