Mild temps force ski race cancellation TRISHA SHANKS Arrow Lakes News
For only the second time since the beginning of the Summit Lake Races more than 20 years ago, the races were cancelled due to weather conditions. The recent rain and mild weather has degraded the snow surface so much that it was impossible to even hold a practice on Sunday. It was a disappointment for the organizers
and the kids set to participate. “The club has been running thanks to the support of all the local volunteers. So many people support the club. It requires a ton of volunteers. It’s mind boggling how many people are giving up weekends for the entire winter to make it happen,” Troy Clark said. There are seven volunteer coaches, the board, and 20-30 volunteers to run the race. People are needed as gatekeepers and timers, recorders for race results and coordinating

times. “The next several weekends weren’t good because of conflicts but we’d like to try to make this up on the weekend of March 8,” Clark added. “We focus on fun and building confidence. We all race as a team — it’s just about participation. We want to make sure that the kids are having a good time as they are learning some skills,” explained Clark. The Summit Lake Racers are made up of two
groups. The younger children are part of the Nancy Greene Racing Program and compete against racers from other hills at races throughout the season. Older children belong to the High School Racers and include ski and snowboard teams who train for the High School Provincials in March. The Nancy Greene Race Program starts at age four, and participants just need to be able to get on the lift independently and get their skis on by themselves.

This way, we can have a good look at the people coming into the building and ask them to sign in.” Cell phones are another issue. While they are a great tool for communicating with parents, there are dangers to having technology like this in the hands of babes. “Digital citizenship is a skill that everyone has to have. Everyone on staff has one too. We get it, but we want to do this in the best
way possible. And that is still being discussed,” Paterson said, adding, “We’re working on what the students’ rights and responsibilities will be and we are also concerned about the high value of these items.” They have ordered locks to equip the lockers and will be discussing the concerns with the Parents Advisory Council (PAC) before announcing any changes. So for now, the school is asking students to leave their technological devices at home.
PALS holds its Annual General Meeting TRISHA SHANKS Arrow Lakes News
The board of Protecting Animal Life Society (PALS) held their AGM last Wednesday, electing their board and creating the animal report for 2014. Elected were chair Susan Rogers, vice chair Linda Kendall, Secretary Kathy Smith, treasurer Linda Kendall, and directors at large Bev McClinchey, Florence Bargery and Michelle Dieterman. As of the 2014 year end ani-
mal report, PALS assisted a total of 127 animals. Those who went into foster totalled approximately 75 cats, one dog, one mule, and a donkey. All surrendered animals received their veterinary exams, any necessary vaccinations and spay/neuter, and most have also gone on to find homes. PALS sponsors a low income spay/neuter program in conjunction with the Nakusp Vet Clinic and in 2014 assisted with 29 of these surgeries, the break-
down of which was 13 cats, 15 dogs, and one rabbit. The lost and found registry was used for nine cats and four dogs. PALS relies on ongoing fundraising and will be the recipient of proceeds from the Legion meat draws every Saturday in March. Spring will bring the annual plant sale held the Saturday before Mother’s Day. All plant donations are gratefully accepted. For more information or to donate plants to PALS, please contact 250-265-3792.

• This Week in History • February 16, 2005
Arrow Lakes loses media matriarch. By all accounts the historical record of the Arrow Lakes would not be so readily available to us today if not for the efforts and dedication of Marjorie Stanley. Marjorie was born June 25, 1906 at Tregarva, Sask., and was the second of seven children of Walter and Bessie White. The White family moved to Nakusp in 1916, and after her schooling was complete, Marjorie stayed in Nakusp and worked as a telephone operator and office clerk for L.J. Edwards in what is now the building housing Re-Awakening. In 1928 she went to work at the Arrow Lakes News with Arthur B.S.Stanley where she served as a linotype operator and editor. In 1932, Art decided he couldn’t run the paper without her and on July 5,1932, the two
www.arrowlakesnews.com A3
got married. The two would spend almost 40 years chronicling the life and times of Nakusp and the Arrow Lakes. The Stanley’s relationship would not only provide the couple with four children, but also establish the family as print media moguls throughout the region. Over the years, the three Stanley boys-Alan, Ken and Denis- would grow up to be newspaper men in their own rights, establishing the Kaslo Kootenian, the Slocan Record Enterprise, the Silver Standard and the Crowe’s Nest paper in Sparwood, and of course, the Arrow Lakes News. Marjorie Stanley passed away Feb. 1, 2005 at the age of 98 but the rich historical legacy she passed on to future generations of Arrow Lakes residents established her place in history as one of the Kootenay’s first media matriarchs.

Our View
Celebrating Family Day for the second year British Columbia has only been celebrating Family Day for two years following four other Canadian provinces. Alberta started the tradition in 1990 and B.C. tried in 1994 but it didn’t become official until 2013. So, on this, the second official Family Day the types of events going on throughout the province ranged from museum events to pony rides, free swimming and family ski deals. Vancouverites were spoiled for choice from free admission to the YMCA or a pancake breakfast to family yoga. In Kelowna, families could choose from craft night, free skating, swimming and pony rides. In Nakusp, there was a Zumba class free to kids when their parents attended or the regular Monday event of bridge at the Seniors’ Centre. Organized activities have some room for improvement but there were probably lots of families doing things together in a casual fashion. One of the nice things about the holiday is that it is on a Monday, creating a long weekend for those who work Monday to Friday and allowing for a potential getaway. We hope that you got to spend some quality time unplugging and enjoying the company of those you love and if you didn’t there is always next year: February 8, 2016.

Debbie Sharp, a representative of a proposed project which is designed for seniors residing within Nakusp and surrounding communities, contacted me recently. “Nakusp and Area Better at Home — Rural and Remote Pilot Project” is an initiative intended to look at ways of best delivering various helping services to those aged 65 and over where there is a need. Nakusp has been selected as one of five communities within our area, which has been identified to participate (one of about 60 in B.C. so far), according to organizers. Funded by the B.C.

Way of the Lower Mainland, its overall purpose is to provide non-medical and simple support services to help older individuals live longer within their own homes while remaining connected to their community. Communities who may wish to participate are selected by speaking with seniors themselves and also non-profit organizations, which serve seniors as well as others who are knowledgeable about their needs. One important consideration is the number of vulnerable older persons in the community who would benefit. In general, programs can receive funding for the first year of operation for start-up purposes, and for service delivery. Once established, the annual grant sum may change according to the numbers being served and the type of services delivered. As to the cost to clients, service fees are established on an income-based sliding scale. This ensures that services are

It would be a wonderful achievement if we could look at creating something that will strengthen the community to be able to support seniors in the long run.” Those interested in learning more about the program and the eligibility criteria as well as service delivery standards which are required, are invited to attend the first information meeting on Monday, Feb. l6. Additional stakeholders meetings take place from Feb. 16-18. For more information, including time and location of meetings, call Ken Livingstone at 250-265-3241.

Double-coated dogs like Cloud, a Samoyed owned by Beth Dauk and Earl Paul of Nakusp, have been shedding profusely even though it is winter. Photo by Til Niquidet
By Til Niquidet
You can tell by the floor of my grooming shop that spring is coming. But the unusual thing about this winter is that some dogs have really never stopped shedding all winter. What’s with that? Coat growth and seasonal shedding is determined by genetics, hours of daylight, hormones and health. Shedding is caused by a changing over of coat in three cycles: growth, resting and shedding. The so-called nonshedding breeds, like poodles and Yorkies, are thought to have longer growing and resting periods, changing over their guard hair only once per year.
Your pets and mine Breeds like Labs and short-haired dogs have coats which have such a short growth and resting period that they seem to shed all the time. Other breeds have double-coats, which shed seasonally. These thick-coated dogs, like huskies and collies, usually experience a coat loss period in spring and fall. Both guard hair and undercoat sheds profusely making room for a newer coat to grow and then rest. The spring shed allows for a lighter summer coat and the fall shed brings in a thicker, more protective coat for winter cold. Some people think
the amount of coat that comes in for winter can predict how cold the winter is going to be. However, research suggests that it isn’t changing weather that creates the coat-loss and growth cycle but changes in the circadian rhythm, the amount of daylight that we see with the change of seasons. Shorter days trigger shedding and the growth of a winterready coat. There is some thought that melatonin, the same hormone which is affected by lack of daylight in humans impacts coat cycles in animals. I am not sure I am convinced it isn’t weather. This winter, doublecoated dogs have been
shedding right into January and February and there is no denying that this has been a milder winter in spite of our heavy snow. Another possibility? Mild winters usually mean more cloud here in Nakusp. Lack of daylight caused by so much cloud-cover may be further confusing our dogs so that they are shedding even though they are supposed to “covering up in the cold.” This is great news for dog groomers and vacuum-cleaner sales — those same dogs who have been shedding in preparation for winter will soon be starting to shed because spring is on the way, with not much of a break in between.

Sibling rivalry was rampant on Saturday night as Shelley and Doug Thring performed an assortment of ballads and blues for an intimate crowd of about 40 people. Joking together at one another’s expense, the mood was light and casual. The duo perform together as Everythring. Doug played guitar and sang solo to start the evening, with a few sombre blues tunes saying, “If this doesn’t bum you out, nothing will. It starts off slow and then fizzles out altogether.” The laughs continued throughout the evening. The elder sibling was later joined by younger sister Shelley, who teasingly said things like, “much younger sibling,” and “he was always bossy,” keeping the audience amused in be-
tween songs. Their playlist included Van Morrison, Bonnie Raitt, a Rolling Stones audience singalong to Honky Tonk Woman and even a 1900s hymn called Wayfaring Stranger, which was a cover of the Eva Cassidy version. The duo credited their mother, New Denverite Marguerite Thring, with teaching them to sing on drives up and down the highway, “before seatbelts.” This was the first performance in a new series that Rob Plaskett is hoping to start up under the umbrella of the Arrow Lakes Arts Council that will focus on local musicians. Plaskett says the idea was inspired by, “seeing how much talent there is (locally). There are lots of people that would love a chance to perform on stage. They think that they are okay, but there is no place to try it out. And this is
the perfect spot to do that.” He is hoping to attract a calibre of talent that is audience-ready so the quality of the concerts will remain high.
The laughs continued throughout the evening.
For more information on the opportunity to perform, contact Rob Plaskett at robplaskett@telus.net.

Fauquier-seven-year old Connor Siebold has had a love of animals since he could toddle. For two years, he has asked for laying hens for his birthday but his mother Tammy Merry was sure he would get bored of them. She was concerned that they would become her job instead, one she wasn’t keen to take on in addition to her other responsibilities. “Yeah I was against it but he’s done a great job. Thought he would get bored after a day or so,” the mother of four said. Merry says Connor loves earning money. “He will sit at the end of the driveway in the baking sun and sell worms and lemonade in the summer. He made $16.00 one day even though nobody really lives around here.” They got in ten laying hens from a neighbour and Connor takes care of them every day after school. She might have known he wouldn’t give up on them based on how he was with Memphis, their palomino mare. The family got her from Hayburner Haven, a rescue that bought her from slaughterhouse three years ago. She had a rough start in life, and

NAKUSP boots featured in last week’s issue! Connor with rescue horse Memphis. the horse really wanted nothing to do with him. At four years old, Connor stood in her paddock for hours every day willing her to come closer to him and eventually she did. Now he rides Memphis and the mare has become so attached to him that she once stood between the child and a bear when one came close to the property. Connor nuzzles Memphis, who they have nicknamed Lumpy because of her love of food, before leading the way down the path to his chicken coop, which his mother says he keeps cleaner than she does. Inside the bright wooden building are ten hens and one rooster
called Box (for the bock-bock sound he makes). Their coop is full of fresh hay, the waterers are full and clean, and they have a dish with fresh chicken feed. Connor wants to grow his flock to 30 birds and is hoping to hatch some eggs this spring. During the interview, he was encouraging one of his hens to sit. “At first he didn’t want to sell any of the eggs,” his mom chuckles. He wanted to have a big collection of eggs just to have them but he finally caved and sold a dozen to his grandmother. Then he agreed to start selling eggs to his parents. Now he has a few regular customers

and has just enough supply to meet the demand. “I like the money, and I like the chickens,” Connor answers when asked why he wanted to start his own egg business. Connor has a Golden Retriever named Grover, who is also seven and a pot-belly razorback pig named Peanut, who he tries to ride across the farmyard. That’s because he’s practicing for rodeo this summer. Siebold is joining the Little Britches Rodeo circuit and will spend weekends this summer roping and calf riding. “He’s a pretty good little roper,” Merry chuckled as she tousled Connor’s hair.

How we met! Isaque Vieira and Carla Trenholm Isaque and Carla knew one another in their hometown of Osoyoos, B.C. as friends for a long time before being romantically involved. Then one night, he asked her for a drink after watching her play in a baseball game and they’ve been together ever since. Isaque says, “It might be 18 years but it seems like it was only three years ago.”
Valentine’s Special Choice of Starter:
Anita and David Sinclair
Soup or Salad
Main Course:
It was in grade six, when Anita stepped off the school bus from Burton to attend classes at Glenbank School that David turned to a friend and said, “I’m going to marry her.” Anita said, “He says he remembers what I was wearing.” He smiled and said, “A plaid skirt.” They dated off and on throughout high school, and celebrated 34 years together on January 16.
Honey Ginger Salmon Or Wild Mushroom Chicken Or New York Steak with a Bleu Cheese Demi
Dessert:
Suzanne and Terry Story
Flourless Chocolate Cake with chocolate dipped strawberries
This couple met at a ski boot factory in Minnesota. She had just gotten back from a summer in Alaska and he had just been discharged from the navy. They were both 22. “I was walking in and he was walking out and we both saw that we were wearing the same little John Lennon glasses.” That was 43 years ago.

Nakusp wraparound trail future Trisha Shanks Arrow Lakes News
A five kilometre trail which loops in a circle around the downtown core of the village of Nakusp could become a reality if the Trails Society has any say in the matter. Nakusp has a hidden treasure in the form of a series of walking paths which, if connected, would create a continuous five kilometre trail engulfing the village. Piecing the sections together is not in the Trails Society’s jurisdiction. They have presented their suggestion to the village at two different times, including the last meeting and
have done what they can to pave the way for the village to take up the reins. Some of the sections would need construction; some require partnership with the Ministry because they are considered crown land. At one time, sections of the trail were built to be used for recreation and that’s when things started to fall through the cracks. Parts of the trail are maintained and signed — the paved section along the waterfront is, but other parts like the steep section near the hospital are not. “People love a loop. They love to start walking and then end up at the same place where
they left their car. It’s short and the terrain is flat enough that anybody could do it if it was improved,” said Barb Chwachka, one of the founding members of the Nakusp and Area Community Trails Society. “When people visit a town, especially a small rural town like this one, they want to do a walk like this one,” Chwachka added. It will be up to the village council to determine where the funding will come from to pursue the project if they decide to go ahead with it. “It was always a matter of the extra funds,” village CAO Linda Tynan stated in the January council meeting.
