FIRE AT OLD NIXON HOUSE

Nakusp and Area Fire Department attended the scene of a house fire that resulted from a spark that likely caught in the wind, landing on the roof of the old Nixon house on Highway 6 just east of the Government Hill intersection. The irony was that the house was slated for demolition and there hadn’t been any occupants for several years.

As they say, the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. So went the scheduled control burn of the old home located at 372 Highway 6 South last Thursday when a spark from a fire burning yard waste was caught by the wind and landed on the shingles, setting the house fire in motion. The home had been slated for demolition either by excavator or by allowing the Nakusp

and Area Fire Department to set it ablaze as a training exercise but not until the following week. Chief Warren thought it would make the perfect training exercise for his department. Fire Chief Terry Warren was at the office when he got the Code 3 call that the home was in flames. “The fire at the property had a permit but it just goes to show how quickly any fire can get out of control,” Nakusp Fire Chief Terry Warren said. Fourteen members suited up and sped to

the scene where they leapt into action, assessing the situation and readying fire hoses. They proceeded to monitor the situation, because unlike a regular fire, this one was meant to take place. The crew — all volunteers — worked to keep the flames from spreading to neighbouring outbuildings, trees and the occupied dwelling on the same property. “We don’t get as many fires as we used to so it was good practice,” said Warren. “They did very well, an excellent job, in fact. We have a very good crew. It was good for them to see

how fire reacts — actually feel the heat and spray the water. Some of our members are new so it was excellent for training.” The house was in the process of being cleared of fixtures and fittings, which the family was going to salvage prior to the day it was slated to be alit. The original cast-iron clawfoot tub could be seen outside behind the blaze. “We had some great memories there,” said Deanne Nixon whose grandparents last lived in the house and whose father Dave lives in the newer home on the property.

AKBLG delegates and guests we welcome you to Nakusp and hope you enjoy your stay in our little mountain town. WINTER HOURS: 8am - 7pm | 7 Days a week

When Cassia Parent found herself in a belly dance class with Brendalee Morgan a few years ago, her lifelong passion for movement was reignited. Dancing seriously since the age of nine, Parent had been away from it for a number of years when she was called back to the studio and to her roots of teaching dance to children. “Being back in a dance studio after a few years away, I felt like I had come home. NaCoMo seemed like a cool, authentic movement space,” Parent said. During her youth in Port Coquitlam, the Dance on the Kusp founder studied ballet, lyrical dance, modern, tap, jazz, hiphop styles. She was also an instructor from the age of 15, having taught dance classes in musical theatre, ballet, jazz and

tap with students ranging from 3-8 years of age. Fast forward to 2012, the former Nakusp Music Festival stage manager had relocated to Nakusp where her grandparents Milton and Rosemarie lived since she was three. In January of 2013, she began teaching classes to the children in Nakusp — something that had not previously been available. 2014 marked her first full season of dance instruction and both years ended with recitals. 2015 brought about a new challenge. “As far as I know, this is the first time that there has ever been a group of dancers from Nakusp at the Just Dance Festival in Castlegar,” said Parent. She began looking for something bigger than a local recital for her students to work toward and came across the opportunity. “I wanted our first competition to be something friendly and welcoming so the girls could see what a

professionally run competition feels like. Turning Point, the dance school that puts this festival on, is high calibre and runs like a well-oiled machine.” “We came home encouraged. The group numbers got bronze, our soloists and duo got silver. The girls want to work harder and do more and return to compete again next year.” Parent said. She explained the results of the debriefing they had in the days after the competition. Several of her dance students were on board and the little dance school organized four numbers with choreography and music compiled by Parent. In attendance were ten Nakusp dancers ranging in age from six to 14. The girls stayed in hotel rooms or with friends and family in Castlegar for the weekend, and almost all parents were able to attend and encourage from the audience.

Abuse of recycle bins will raise costs or see them removed Trisha Shanks Arrow Lakes News

The difference between garbage and recycling can be explained by any eight year old, so it’s puzzling that there exists such a huge problem with people leaving garbage at the site that is meant solely for recycling. In Nakusp, people are continually leaving large items, garbage and even hazardous waste on and around the green bins provided for paper, glass and plastic recycling by the RDCK. Whether this is a local problem or visitors to the area acting from ignorance, the result of this abuse is going to spell cost increases or ultimately, removal. “There are two issues at these sites: illegal dumping, and people attempting to use them as unofficial re-use drop offs,” said Environmental Services Coordinator for the Regional District Central Kootenay (RDCK) Meagan Deas. “We are asking for the public’s help in preventing illegal dumping. It is hard to combat but it impacts everyone — from safety issues and endangering wildlife, to rising costs to taxpayers because of additional clean-up.” Options to get rid of garbage include regular curb side pickup or taking it to the landfill operated by the RDCK on the Hot Springs Road. Either way, there are costs associated with garbage — the purchase of designated village garbage bags, or a dump fee. Currently, recycling is encouraged and there is no fee. Located next to the arena building, the unmonitored re-

www.arrowlakesnews.com A3

cycling drop off location is managed by a contractor who goes to the site a few times a week to remove the recycling materials. It is part of their contract to clean up any materials illegally dumped at the site during these visits. There have long been issues with the illegal dumping of garbage at these locations. When somebody complains about refuse at the site, the RDCK then takes care of it by contacting their contractor, Waste Management who then sends resources to these sites outside of pre-scheduled times just to perform clean up at an added expense. “This will eventually result in an increased cost to the taxpayer when the contract is up for renewal because the contractor will be expecting significantly higher costs due to clean-up or, the possible removal of these sites.” Not a re-use shed For the people who are using it as an unofficial re-use shed, it is a different issue because they are trying to be sustainable and keep things out of the landfills. This creates safety hazards, an unsightly facility, increased greenhouse gas emissions (contractor has to make very long additional trips to clean up these materials), and can result in an increased cost to the taxpayer. All that and it still ends up at the landfill. “Despite their best intentions it actually creates more harm than if they just dumped at the landfill. When people leave their re-use materials at these sites, the contractor has to clean them up and dump them at the landfill

anyway. Some sites do have reuse sheds or you can download a ‘trash to treasure’ sign for free to leave unwanted items at your yard for people to take and re use,” explained Deas. Director of Operations, Warren Leigh spoke at the April 13 council meeting indicating concerns about groundwater contamination. “Our well is adjacent to the recycling site and with the dumping of items like propane cylin-

ders, there is a potential hazard,” Leigh said. Nakusp has a groundwater protection plan in place which is being threatened. Village council unanimously agreed that with the continued abuse of the recycling site, it is now time for the bins to be moved to the landfill where they can be more closely monitored to eliminate abuse leading to contamination of the ground and water and ultimately keep the costs down.

The 9th Annual Burton Winter Crib Tournament wrapped up last Sunday. Nine teams of two played each other from November to April. Three games were played at the house of one of the players, with laughter, snacks, and some serious crib thrown in, until everyone had played their twenty-four games. It’s a great chance for newcomers to meet their fellow Burtonites and for everyone to have a nice social evening out. Points were totaled and winners declared at the wrap-up evening. This year’s winners were Shirley Neuls (left) and Laura Freeman (right). They only gave up 104 points out of a possible 2904! That record should stand for decades. Last year, they came in last. There was a yummy potluck supper at the Burton Hall, followed by the awarding of prizes. We then drew for partners and had five tables of crib. The wrap-up crib was won by Peggy Ife and John Craft.

SENIORS’ COLUMN MARILYN BOXWELL Seniors’ column aquaconn@columbiacable.net

I was recently asked if a dental access program, which is open to seniors and other members of the public who are living on a low income, is in existence and benefitting residents of our region. I am happy to report that such a program does exist, although to a limited degree. Fund-raised dollars assist low-income community members who are experiencing dental pain or infection. Through generous donations by dentists, individuals, community groups and concerned organizations, this dental program is able to offer limited services to those in need. The dental access program depends entirely on the volunteer efforts of the IHA program staff, local area dentists and their staff, and community donations. Due to very limited resources at present, priority is accorded to individuals who are experiencing dental pain, infection or the inability to eat properly due to their oral condition. Monetary aid is delegated to those on low income and who have exhausted all other avenues leading to dental care. An application and consultation must be completed in association with a staff member of the IHA dental program. An application may be approved for funding if the applicant meets the financial and dental criteria, as well as there being sufficient funds available. Monetary donations to this program are gratefully accepted. Please make cheques payable to: Trail Fair Society (which also serves clients from the Nakusp region). Make a notation that these funds are intended to support the dental access program. The Interior Health Dental Program staff voluntarily coordinates this program and all service requests must be made through them. For further information, contact Nancy McGann at 250-364-6211.

ALAC ENDS SEASON WITH LOCAL TALENT RECITAL The Arrow Lakes Arts Council (ALAC) hosted their annual Community Artists Concert at the Bonnington Arts Center on Sunday April 19. The event showcased the rich tapestry of talent that runs deep through Nakusp with performances and a silent auc-

tion drawing from a wide spectrum of the arts. The concert was warmly dedicated to Alf Puder who was a long term resident of Nakusp and was very active in the community, Rotary club and the ALAC. Described as the “good ghost behind everything,” Puder

could be found behind the scenes during most performances running lights and sound. Master of Ceremonies Larry Parkes kicked off the afternoon with a bang by egging on the enthusiastic audience to follow him in a cheer spelling out ALAC

This Week in History •

April 24, 1925 Considerable work has been done to the band stand and it is now complete, making a very nice addition to our little town. The band itself has practiced faithfully all winter and judging from what we hear on practice nights, Nakuspites will take off their hats to the band when it plays on the new stand. April 25, 1935 Captain James Fitzsimmons of Nakusp is being retired by C.P.R. after 38 years active service on the railway company boats in the interior of British Columbia. April 26, 1945 On Monday, April 23, Mr. and Mrs. C.B. Hamling celebrated their Golden Anniversary with a party at the Legion Hall in Nakusp. The hall was filled with friends as these pioneers have resided at Box Lake for 43 years.

April 28, 1955 The Slocan Community Hospital board is spearheading a drive for getting institutional care for the chronically ill and aged people in the Slocan valley. April 29, 1965 Last week three Nakusp Scouts went to Victoria to receive their Queen Scout certificates from Lieutenant Governor Pearkes. Pat Savage, Bill Dodge and Lloyd Moseley left Monday and returned Saturday, after an eventful week. April 23, 1975 Mrs. Anne Raymond played host to her friends on her 95th birthday on April 17. April 24, 1985 Two of Nakusp’s longtime businessmen were honored with Life Memberships in the Nakusp and District Chamber of Commerce on Saturday. Harry Murphy and Bert Gardner were given life memberships in the organization for their many years of service to

the community through their involvement in the Chamber. April 26, 1995 Nakusp’s bid for a co-generation wood/waste facility is picking up steam. Phoenix Waste and Wood Systems Corporation, of Nakusp, is presently conducting a feasibility study for the proposed co-generation plant at the Nakusp dump site. Although the study isn’t expected to be completed until June 5, Phoenix has already done much of the necessary work, which includes such things as projected revenues, costs to construct and estimated volumes of waste the plant could maintain. “It looks like it’s going to be feasible,” said Denis Stanley, chairman of Nakusp and District Economic Development Board. “But a lot of questions haven’t been answered yet.” Ray Greene,, of Phoenix Wood and Waste Systems, will meet with the NDEBD on May 6, to update the study’s progress.

The spring issue of Route 3 is out! Pick up your copy today!

Look for it in locations through out the community and at the newspaper office!

The Happy Forager Seeing as Mother Nature was especially kind to us this winter, spring seems to have sprung earlier than usual. The adjustment to seeing ground with no snow for such a long period of time before the first signs of life start to show makes me feel incredibly impatient. I am used to seeing the first flowers of the year cradled in a light blanket of white, but instead I have gotten dirt under my nails earlier than I ever have before! What I am most excited for though, is to get back to foraging! Dandelions, taraxacum officinal (sunflower family, asteraceae) are persistent lawn weeds known around the world, as the only continent it doesn’t grow is Antarctica. It is believed to have originated somewhere between Greece and the western Himalayas, and spread from there. But that was very long ago. Fossil dandelions are known from the last

ch ante l l e Car ter

ice age. There is an old saying that plants grow where they are needed most, and I believe that when a certain “weed” grows in such abundance and is also one of the first and last flowers you will see, maybe we should take heed of the medicine it is trying to share. Dandelions are so well respected in fact, that it appears in the U.S. National Formulatory, and in the Pharmacopeias of Hungary, Poland, Switzerland, and the Soviet Union. It is one of the top six herbs in the Chinese herbal medicine chest and according to the USDA Bulletin #8, Composition of Foods (Haytowitz and Matthews 1984), dandelions rank in the top four green vegetables in overall nutritional value. Minnich, in Gardening for Better Nutrition ranks them, out of all vegetables including grains, seeds and greens, as tied for ninth best. Dandelions are nature’s richest

green vegetable source of beta-carotene from which Vitamin A is created, and the third richest source of Vitamin A of all foods after codliver oil and beef liver! They also are particularly rich in fiber, potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and the B vitamins, thiamine and riboflavin, and are a good source of protein. All parts of the plant are edible; leaves, flowers and roots. When eaten as a part of your daily diet or taken as a beverage dandelions could, depending on the peculiarities of your body chemistry, prevent or cure liver diseases such as hepatitis or jaundice, act as a tonic and gentle diuretic to purify your blood, cleanse your system, dissolve kidney stones, and otherwise improve gastro-intestinal health. They can also assist in weight reduction, cleanse your skin and eliminate acne, improve your bowel function — working equally well

to relieve both constipation and diarrhea, prevent or lower high blood pressure, prevent or cure anemia, lower your serum cholesterol by as much as half, eliminate or drastically reduce acid indigestion and gas buildup by cutting the heaviness of fatty foods, prevent or cure various forms of cancer, prevent or control diabetes mellitus, and, at the same time, have no negative side effects and selectively act on only what ails you. Does it get any better than that? Eat the plant raw, steamed, roasted, sautéed or however you choose — just make sure that you are collecting from plants that haven’t been sprayed with any chemicals. Online recipes abound and if you are a skeptic or can’t tolerate the flavour, dandelions make a delicious wine. In welcoming the return of the sunshine, get out there valley friends and gather the food that will be thy medicine.

You will have the opportunity to experience our restaurants and the many wonderful business that we have as well as our beautiful waterfront walk and our hot springs. We hope that you will return to us to enjoy our fishing, swimming, camping, hiking, biking, campgrounds and hot springs as well as tennis, squash courts and much more. In the winter we offer downhill skiing, many cross country ski trails, skidooing, a wonderful arena and heliskiing — you will just have to come back and explore. Enjoy your stay.

Our Outdoors Nakusp and Arrow Lakes offers a variety of outdoor activities in an unspoiled natural setting, surrounded by stunning beauty. Most activities are do-it-yourself, without crowds or line-ups. Even the two nine-hole golf courses don’t require booking times. There are a few guided activities available as well and the commercial and natural hot springs are open every day. Summer promises terrific golf and fishing, excellent hiking and biking in beautiful alpine areas, and various festivals and events. The Nakusp and Area Community Trails Society also schedules several group hikes. During the winter, the region is popular with those who like to snowmobile, snowshoe, and any type of skiing including downhill, cross-country, heli-skiing and backcountry skiing. Winter also provides excellent opportunities for fishing on the open waters of the main lakes, or for ice fishing on the smaller lakes.

Raising awareness for palliative care

On Sunday, May 3, the village of Nakusp will join thousands of people across the country, as they come together to raise funds and awareness for hospice palliative care programs and services. This is the 13th anniversary of the Hike for Hospice Palliative Care, and the Nakusp Hospice Society is excited to host for the second time. Though the hike is coordinated nationally, 100 per cent of the funds raised in our community remain here. The funds raised this year by the Nakusp Hospice Society will be used to help train hospice volunteers. 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. Many organizations across Canada use this event as a major fundraiser, whereas we would like our main focus to raise awareness of the many challenges faced by hospice palliative care and to promote the phenomenal work that all volunteers and professionals in the field perform daily. Hospice palliative care programs are still at least 50 per cent funded by charitable donations and families must bear part of the cost of dying at home, in longer-term care — almost anywhere outside a hospital. The money raised through the hike provides physical, emotional and social assistance to patients and their families and loved ones. The Nakusp Hospice Society is working toward ensuring more Canadians, especially in our own community, receive the end-of-life care they wish for. Please join us on Sunday May 3 at 1 p.m. starting at the Nakusp Public Beach. The hike will be an easy 2 km walk in the downtown core, suitable for all ages and abilities. To support or participate in Hike for Hospice Palliative Care, or for more information about the Nakusp Hospice Society, please contact Lee-Anne Marshall at 250265-3326, or any Hospice Board member.

Drawing on specific examples such as truck commercials and even an anecdote about the sexual politics of big horned sheep, the audience expanded on the themes of masculinity and media literacy in our community. Hughes and Pitaoulis helped guide the thoughtful reflection and encouraged the audience to initiate discussions in the community. “There was about 25 people here tonight,” Hughes reflects, “and if one person leaves and is even just changed a little bit by the way they view things and sparks a conversation that changes someone else’s mind, that would mean this was worth it.” The group of ASLCS co-workers plans to continue to engage the local community with their educational campaigns and is working on a healthy relationships curriculum to bring to the elementary school.

Event of the season: Rotary Winefest Trisha Shanks Arrow Lakes News

The K2 Rotor Lodge was abuzz with laughter, chatter and wineswilling Saturday night

in celebration of Rotary Winefest, the second annual shindig hosted in collaboration with the Arrow Lakes Grape Growers Society. Given an empty glass upon entry and from there, revellers enjoyed the flowing vino and gourmet vittles aplenty. Eight separate stations were peppered throughout the lounge, dining room and party room of the restaurant, each representing a different winery or wine merchant. The selection was 100 per cent British Columbia wine, and at each station, samplers could try reds, whites and other varieties plus speak directly to the vintner or wine rep. Dozens of wines were available to taste, and not limited to the Okanagan: Trail merlot, Wynndel pinot gris, Creston gewürtztraminer, Kelowna

gamay noir and a spicy Oliver aperitif with a chili pepper in the bottle. Guest Jodee Zinselmeyer commented, “What a treat to have such a unique venue in our village.” Margaret Basaraba, whose husband Dave is the co-owner, winemaker and vineyard manager at Wynnwood Estates Winery in Creston, said, “Such a nice group of people here. The set-up with different rooms for people to mingle and move around and what a nice touch to have the cheese on each table.” Guests dressed in semi-formal attire paid $50 a head for unlimited samples, an array of cheeses with crackers and an assortment of chef-made original hors d’oeuvres. There were also 50/50 draws, a silent auction and

a door prize. All proceeds go to supporting Nakusp Rotary and their on-going projects such as Polio-Plus, local scholarships and the waterfront lighting project. In addition, many local businesses were involved in sponsoring the evening. Troy Watson, one of the organizers with Rotary was thrilled with the turnout. “People are raving about the food, so we are really pleased.” The event was held last year with a limit of 100 tickets to gauge the interest, and it sold out raising $5000 for local causes supported by Nakusp Rotary. This year with 151 tickets sold, the organization hopes to do even better. Organizer Kees van der Pol explained, “The organizing committee was a fine group of people, just a pleasure

to work with. And we are really grateful for the volunteers too.” Burton resident Liz Gillis enjoyed the evening and wanted to recognize the efforts that were made to include Nakusp’s neighbour to the south. “I wouldn’t have attended without the safe ride program.” A volunteer drove a number of Burton residents both to and from the event in a minibus to allow them to join the festivities and not have to worry about transportation 35 km each way. Lynn Sorenson, owner of Winemates & More said, “This is our second year, and we love to support the community. I’ve been working this territory for 22 years and am very passionate about Okanagan vineyards. We’ll be back next year.”
