SHARES TREATS
Event donates to Children’s Hospital Tayla Raskob and Amber LaMarsh
Easter treats for all in Gazebo Park
The Easter Bunny shared treats with anyone plucky enough to visit in Gazebo Park. Overwaitea has been inviting the chocolate making philanthropist to their fundraising Easter event for over a decade. All proceeds from the afternoon of springtime fun will be donated to Children’s Hospital on behalf of Overwaitea in Nakusp. The Chamber of Commerce event coordinator, Wanda Saunders, orchestrated the recycled Easter basket, Easter bonnet, and candy jar contests during the
festivities in Gazebo Park. “Overwaitea was kind enough to let the Chamber piggy back off their event this year,” Saunders shared. In addition to the contests, Saunders was also handing out prizes for the golden ticket initiative. “We had 13 local businesses donate over $600 worth of prizes,” said Saunders. Local businesses handed out plastic eggs for floor limit purchases and those who found golden tickets won a prize to be redeemed at the Gazebo Park event.

Lucerne School and Nakusp Elementary School will be getting a solar facelift as their bid for funding through the Ministry of Education’s Carbon Neutral Capital Program (CNCP) project has been approved. School District 10 will be completing their solar energy initiative by outfitting two of its schools with solar panels designed to harness renewable energy from the sun. In addition to the environmental and financial benefits, the project will also provide a unique learning opportunity as students from Nakusp Secondary and Lucerne school will be called upon to assist with the installation alongside professional project engineers and electricians. District Superintendent Terry Taylor is thrilled about the project and what it means for the community and our young learners. “We’re proud as a learning or-
ganization in the school district to model for our students and community ways to not only reduce energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions which help the planet, but also use the project as a real world opportunity for our students to learn about the science and global issues involved in renewable energies, but also learn the hands-on skills to install these new technologies,” Taylor said. The CNCP program was launched by Pacific Carbon Trust in 2012 to compensate school districts for the amount of money spent annually on carbon offsets. As a public sector organization, school districts fall under the carbon neutral government legislation that came into effect in December 2008 and is regulated by the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Targets Act. In an effort to address upgrading costs, school districts were invited to apply for funding assistance to complete projects that would reduce greenhouse gas emissions and
energy consumption. Last year, over 41 school districts around the province completed projects such as ground source heat pump systems at Princess Margaret Secondary in the Okanagan-Skaha school district and an eclectic car initiative in Nanaimo-Ladysmith. The environmental ramifications are estimated around 1,500 tonnes of reduced emissions amounting to over $36,000 saved from carbon offsets and $416,000 in reduced general operation costs. “School districts across B.C. have done a tremendous job in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions,” Minister of Education, Don McRae commented. “The implementation of the Carbon Neutral Capital Program has seen many innovative initiatives in our K-12 schools.” Since 2008, B.C. has committed $75 million to energy projects in the public sector and is the first province or state in North America to become carbon neutral.

Duncan post office was renamed Howser GREG NESTEROFF West Kootenay Advertiser
Eighty-ninth in an alphabetical series on West Kootenay/Boundary place names Last week we began looking at the origins of Howser, one of the most puzzling and convoluted local place names. We got as far as April 23, 1900 when W.D. Mackay surveyed a new townsite on Lot 528 for William Simpson and Shirley Keeling, previously known as Duncan City. This time they called it Hauser. The streets were Spokane, Nelson, Kaslo, Denver, Slocan, Lardo, Duncan, Water, Simpson, Shirley, Keeling, Sandon, Hall, Reno, Abbey, Ward, Forbes, Nagle, and Wallace. The lone avenue was called Hauser, as was the lake shown on the map. Why was this spelling used instead of the far more common Howser? Paul and Marion Howser of Reigate, Surrey, England have given this a lot of thought during a more than 30-year search for answers. Their best guess is that it was to help secure the terminus for the Great Northern Railway’s Kaslo and Lardo-Duncan line — the townsite plan shows the
proposed railway passing through the town. However, it was never built. The Great Northern was familiar with the spelling Hauser because it had a station at Hauser Junction in northern Idaho (which we’ll discuss more in the next installment). Simpson and Keeling used the spelling Hauser despite the fact the post office had been renamed Howser only four months earlier. The postal application, submitted in June 1899, was under the name Duncan. It was approved and opened on Sept. 1 of that year, but William Simpson, originally proposed as postmaster, was passed over in favor of W.V. Bradshaw. The postmaster general soon complained “that inconvenience has been caused by the similarity of the name of the Duncan post office, recently established … to that of the Duncan’s Station post office.” The Nelson Tribune of March 12, 1900 commented: “It seems that the post office officials can’t see the difference between Duncans on Vancouver Island and Duncan City up the lake. Sometimes the letters to the island place come up here and vice versa. So the official name of the little lake
town is hereafter to be Howser.” The change took effect Jan. 1, 1900. In an interview published in Where the Lardeau River Flows, resident Billy Clark exaggerated a bit when he said: “Our post office was Duncan Lake and all the mail used to go to Duncan on Vancouver Island so they changed it to Hauser and then all our mail went to Bowser. And we got it changed to Howser which is the name today and now it goes to Fernie and all over the country.” In 1905, William Simpson, who took over as postmaster a year after the office opened, told the Geographic Survey of Canada the original spelling was Hauser and that when the post office’s name changed from Duncan, “the then postmaster in writing the department spelled it Howser, so it remains to this day.” The evidence, however, is that the name had been widely spelled Howser, including on Simpson’s own survey plan for Lot 528, completed 13 years earlier. The post office moved in 1966 prior to completion of the Duncan dam, which flooded much of the original townsite. It closed in 1969. Next: Who was Howser’s namesake?

OUR VIEW
Let them eat cake If accountability was an issue, the senate really should have been careful what they wished for but it’s far too late for that now. After the public discovery that multiple appointed bureaucrats have been padding their expenses for travel, spousal add-ons, alleged bribes and more — they have painted themselves into a corner and gotten caught. Auditor-general Michael Ferguson’s office is now analyzing every receipt that’s been submitted, much to their chagrin. Trending hashtags: #senateproblems, a take on #firstworldproblems and #abolishthesenate. Conservative Senator Nancy Ruth really stepped in ‘it’ this week when she complained to the paparazzi on Parliament Hill about the level of scrutiny on her expenses, down to her meals while travelling. At issue, she opted for a paid meal over “Ice cold camembert and broken crackers” which were offered with the purchase of the airfare. After all, cultured individuals know that camembert should be served warm or at room temperature. She bought something else to eat and her assistant dutifully submitted the receipt as an expense. Now the world knows. The middle aged, openly lesbian senator from a political family in Toronto said a mouthful as she was interviewed on the way to work this week and scoffed at the idea that the Auditor would have any understanding of what it was like to have to “fly around the world to get here to Ottawa.” And she was serious. Her attitude seemed to be that no senator should have to eat what those airlines are passing off as breakfast (on a one-hour flight). After ordering a costlier breakfast at the public’s expense, she is now annoyed that the extra few dollars is an issue. Isn’t the problem really that senators feel entitled and don’t understand why that’s a problem? Upon first hearing this sound bite, we furrowed our brows and shook our heads like Looney Tunes cartoon characters trying to understand something foreign, complete with cartoon Foley soundtrack. It reminded us of another legendary statement, attributed to Marie Antoinette during the French Revolution when she heard of the starving masses and reportedly said something like “Let them eat cake.” So remiss was the queen’s understanding of the challenges of poverty, she presumed that they would be able to benefit from the palace’s leftover cake. Other senators (Wallin, Duffy) have had embarrassing and notoriously public spectacles made of their expense reports — surely they were the exceptions and not the rule? Not so. Nearly $200,000 of misappropriated public money has been repaid to the government since the bean counters auditing the situation have discovered a giant leak in the “tight financial ship” that should be the Canadian senate. Senators are increasingly living up to the suspicion that they have been sidling up to the trough for long enough based on an overinflated sense of entitlement. What might seem like an innocent comment about cheese leaves many of us wondering — yet again why we need this branch of the government anymore.
SENIORS’ COLUMN MARILYN BOXWELL Seniors’ column aquaconn@columbiacable.net
It has been well over ten years ago now, but I remember well the first time I was to meet face to face with one of Nakusp’s finest musical artists whom I had the pleasure of dubbing as the best lounge player that I’d ever encountered. I’m of course referring to the popular, talented and highly accomplished local pianist, the late Shirley Garvey. Her formal studies in the field of classical music first began at the tender age of 5 and Shirley continued to keep abreast of the traditional as well as contemporary music trends throughout her life. Citing the importance of having had proper background training, Shirley applied her efforts in order to provide order and meaning to her chosen field of musical expertise. Shirley was very much a brilliant musician — an enthusiast of easy lis-
tening sounds which tumbled off the piano keyboard, at a moment’s notice. “I love the songs I can put emotion into,” Shirley reminded me during a conversation I had with her on the subject of program selections. Not surprisingly her favourite composers and their individual immortal compositions remained varied and included the enchanting strains delivered by the ever-popular Roger Whittaker. Next came Heywood Harvey, famous for the stirring arrangement of The Homecoming as well as Jessie Colter in the moving selection entitled, I’m Not Lisa. The original founder, organizer and choral director of the Nakusp Seniors’ Serenaders, Shirley headed up an informal and joyful group of songsters who turned out regularly each Wednesday morning for both fun and fellowship at the Seniors’ Hall. It was then that Shirley led her allages mixed choral group through a variety of numbers including gospel songs. She injected her own measure of colourful works without hesitation including of course a rousing rendition of the famous melody entitled

Tzena-Tzena-Tzena, which stood out clearly amongst her other special favourites to everyone’s delight. Shirley often reminded us more singers were always welcome to join the Serenaders so the musical programs could be kept fresh and alive. “No special level of ability or previous experience would be needed,” she would add, “and everyone is welcome!” Shirley then quickly pointed out if some of us chose not to directly participate in the actual singing, just being present at the Wednesday morning gatherings served as a wonderful opportunity to simply relax and enjoy listening to the selections as part of an appreciative audience, coupled with a freshly brewed cuppa as well. Thank you Shirley and also to her number one fan and loving supporter, husband Clare, for all the kind and generous contributions she made in the lives of each of her friends, including myself. Memories of those wonderful times when we sang together in joyous delight and anticipation will continue to remain with us as precious inspiration for many years to come.

SECOND TUESDAY OF EACH MONTH (APRIL TO OCTOBER) BETWEEN 10:30 AM AND 12:30 PM
Born in Nakusp in 1912, Margaret Williams (nee Marshall) who was raised in Burton and lived most of her life in Edgewood, has just turned 103 years old. She is currently a resident of the Minto House is Nakusp. Williams is still sharp as a tack, though will admit to not being able to see that well anymore. Mrs. Williams spoke with the Arrow Lakes News after the family celebration of her 103rd birthday on March 30. Nephew John brought a lemon cake and Margaret had one and a half pieces despite having had some recent appetite issues. Later that evening, some of the family returned to Minto to have what Margaret calls a “snort of apricot brandy” with Williams, her favourite. Predeceased by her son, there are a number of great nieces and nephews that still visit her from throughout the Arrow Lakes communities. One of those is Lee-Anne Marshall, wife of Gord Marshall, who is Margaret’s great nephew. Lee-Anne said, “She drove a

Her routine was to come into Nakusp and go to Overwaitea, the medical clinic and Napa to buy her lottery tickets.” Williams is the last survivor of 6 children, whose father Clark was from England. He met her mother, Margaret Hogg from Scotland, in the West Kootenays when Clark was working in Sandon and together they homesteaded at Burton City in 1905. Raised in Burton, Margaret got married in 1931 to Edgewood’s Alfred Williams and

they went on to have one son, Donald and two grandchildren, Rosemary and Alfred. She was always very independent, was famous for her “tasty meat pies,” and she made clocks out of old hubcaps. During her life, she built the Spruce Grove Cafe on the Monashee and also ran a boarding house in Edgewood. “She always kept busy, she ate what she wanted and she was very independent. That might be the secret to her longevity,” Marshall said. Happy belated birthday to Margaret who may well be the oldest resident of Nakusp.

Bonjour and Arrivederci NSS students traverse four countries over spring break Trisha Shanks Arrow Lakes News
While some Nakusp Secondary School students spent their spring break catching up on sleep, seven lucky students were climbing the Tower of Pisa, and riding the rails across France. Class trip participants were Rhys McLeod, Ashley Friedenberger, Courtney Hall, Hannah Koenig, Rowan Wurst, Maia Smith-Garnett, and Kallee Vanderkroft from Grades 9, 10 and 11. Four chaperones joined them, including two parents — Glenn Koenig and Rory McLeod and retired NSS Principal Kees van der Pol and his wife Mayumi, who have been on the trip before.
“This is my seventh tour of Europe with students from NSS which was started in 1995,” Kees van der Pol said. Every other year, this trip is offered to all NSS students via Education First, an educational travel and language school. The cost per person was $5000 and included transportation, two meals per day, and excursions. Days were long — waking up at 5:30 am and going to 10 p.m., and once, to midnight. Accommodations were two and three star hotels with students sharing up to four to a room, never staying more than two nights in one place. van der Pol explained, “The idea was, as I told the students,
to get a small taste of many different places. Some of the trip highlights were visiting the Colosseum and the Sistine Chapel, seeing the Mona Lisa, watching the changing of the guard in front of Buckingham Palace, and watching a hilarious play in London.” The group was gone from March 13-30. Leaving from Kelowna, they arrived in Switzerland, and went on to several stops in Italy including Venice, Rome, Florence and Pisa. The principality of Monaco was next, followed by France as they took in Cannes and Nice. After a few missed attempts at planning different itineraries, van der Pol said, “EF came up with a wonderful alterna-
Athlete of the Week
tive with great flight times and value for our money. From Nice we travelled the 300 km/ hour TGV train to Paris.” Versailles was not to be missed and they then hopped on the Eurostar train to London via the English Channel. Here, they took in Windsor Castle, Bath and Stonehenge. Grade 10 student Kallee Vanderkroft, said, “It was amazing. Definitely a trip I will never forget.” Her favourite stop was London, England. She added, “I learned a lot more about the different cultures. I went to four different countries while I was there and although there was a lot the same, every place was different.”

Vote for a Green Energy Youth Centre!
CBT Community Initiatives Voting New Youth, Parkour, & Biomass Centre Phase 1
WHEN: April 12, 2015 12:00 - 4:00 pm
WHERE: Nakusp Community Complex
Since the destruction of the youth Green Door building in 2006, Nakusp and area’s youth have been without a facility that truly caters to their ambitions and provides the necessary skills they need to succeed. In collaboration with the Nakusp & Area Youth Society, Nakusp School District No. 10, Nakusp Parkour, and the Village of Nakusp (pending), this project aims to transform the former Green Door into a self-sustainable, green energy, youth facility. A self-sustainable Green Door will be achieved through the creation of a biomass heating system. Local wood waste would be used to eliminate heating costs of the facility, with excess energy possibly being supplied to School District No. 10, and other buildings. The Green Door would become a de facto supplier of green, renewable energy – helping to educate the area’s youth about sustainable energy and reduce dependance on grant money. With a stable source of income, the new Green Door would work towards its aim of supporting ambitious youth. Green Door will offer youth “incubators”: free spaces where youth can pursue their business ideas and have room to grow without suffering financial hardship. The facility will also include a variety of recreational spaces: a parkour gym, leisure area, swimming pool and a greenhouse. The new Green Door will be built entirely by youth. Under the supervision of local tradesmen, youth will have the opportunity to begin or continue an apprenticeship in any trade relevant to the construction of the facility. All timber will be sourced from area sawmills and contractors. Owned by the Nakusp & Area Youth Society, the new Green Door will be a space run by youth for youth. Vote for the new Green Door - vote for our youth. PLEASE COME BY ON APRIL 12, 2015 to learn about and show your support for the Phase 1 design of the “New Youth, Parkour, and Biomass Centre” project. For additional information please contact Tom Zeleznik Email: pattom@telus.net Phone: (250) 265-8414
Ichiro ShIino was born June 19, 1915 in Cumberland, BC on Vancouver Island. He passed away in August of 1999. His 100th birthday would have been this coming June. Because we have been given many of his photos and movies, we thought we would like to honour him with a presentation of some of his work. During the war, Ichi was interned, as were many other Japanese, to the Kootenays. While in Nakusp, from the 1940s, he recorded the history of the area on film. He had a good quality Roleflex camera, which took 2.5 inch square negatives. On every special occasion he was there with his camera. He had a darkroom in his home, and provided many photos to the Arrow Lakes News. He also took graduation photos which he presented to each of the graduates; and other special occasion photos, such as when 10 Queen Scouts were leaving for the
8th World Jamboree in Niagara-on-the-Lake. He also had a movie camera and projector and showed his movies on occasion to groups like the Rotary club. He recorded the last run of the Minto and took pictures of the loss of the two arenas in Nakusp. He recorded each July 1st parade, and took movies such as the tug boats in action, and the working of the Big Bend sawmill. He joined the Big Bend Lumber Co in 1943, first as a faller, and then in its sawmill operations. He continued to work for CanCel when they took it over. When the mill ceased operations in 1961, he joined the company’s logging operations where he spend the next 19 years. He was a tugboat master, a boom man and piloted most of the division’s boats during his career. He retired on June 30, 1980. The show will be held at the Bonnington Theatre on April 17 at 7 p.m.

Victims of crime week focuses on violence in the media TRISHA SHANKS Arrow Lakes News
Arrow and Slocan Lakes Community Services presents a complimentary screening of Tough Guise 2 on April 19 at the Bonnington Arts Centre. The event is being held in conjunction with Victims of Crime Awareness Week. Written by Jackson Katz, the documentary argues that the ongoing epidemic of men’s violence is rooted in our inability as a society to move beyond outmoded ideals of manhood. Katz examines mass shootings, day-to-day gun violence, violence against women, bullying, gaybashing, and American militarism. He provides a stunning look at the violent, sexist, and homophobic messages boys and young men
It’s time to place your ad!
routinely receive from virtually every corner of culture, from television, movies, video games, and advertising to pornography, the sports culture, and political culture. Tough Guise 2 addresses the crisis in masculinity and examines the relationship between pop culture’s construction of masculinity and the reality of being a man in the late 20th century. Katz’s work centers on violence, masculinity and an added focus on media literacy. He has made several documentaries on the representation of women and men in media. Organizer Carlee Hughes said, “On March 8, we showed Miss Repesentation which examined the inaccurate portrayal of women in the media. This screening will examine men in the me-
dia giving a full picture of how our culture is doing a disservice to both genders. Parents of boys and girls, but boys especially will benefit greatly from examining our culture and the effect that the exposure to violent images is having on our children. As a parent, you do not want to miss this film.” Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and this free event includes an array of complimentary refreshments. After the screening, there will be community/panel discussion led by ASLCS outreach workers Carlee Hughes and Debbie Pitaoulis. Please be advised that this film is recommended to an over 14 audience due to graphic violent images. For further information, contact Carlee Hughes at 250265-3674 ext. 205.
