Nakusp welcomes first road bike weekend RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
The Kootenay Sufferfest organized and hosted a three-stage bike race during the May long weekend. Over 20 riders from a variety of different backgrounds and skill levels registered for the event. The three-stage competition started with a hill climb up all grueling 12 kilometers of pavement along the Nakusp Hot Springs road and ended that evening with individual awards for top male and female finishers. The second days’ ride traveled along the scenic highway from Summit Lake to New Denver and
ended again with individual awards. On the third day of racing, residents of Nakusp were treated to a unique spectacle when a group start and pace bike lead the racing pack down Broadway Street. The cyclists turned up Government Rd. and headed north along the highway towards the Revelstoke ferry. “This was a great event to get our feet wet,” organizer Janis Neufeld commented, “based on the success of this event, we might host a sanctioned race and hopefully get even more cyclists next year!” All results can be found online at www.kaslosufferfest.com.

Meet the new groomer, fondly nicknamed Jennifer, which was purchased thanks to the generosity of Lake Louise ski hill at no interest in exchange for advertising at the Summit Lake ski hill.
Barbara Dawn Hascarl nee Anderson, born May 2, 1937 in Vancouver BC suddenly passed away on the 2nd of May, the day of her 78th birthday, after complications following a successful hip replacement. Dawn had been living with her husband of 61 years, Louis Hascarl, at the Seal Bay RV Park in Courtenay BC. Predeceased by her parents and three brothers, she is survived by her husband and five children; Lucille Smith, Daryl Hascarl, Beverley Carleton, Naomi Maisonneuve and Melanie Kurucz, as well as one brother and three sisters. Family and friends of Dawn were no strangers to her love of gardening, crafts and playing cards. She used her time knitting articles for all those close to her, beating them in a game of cribbage and tending her flower beds and gardens. Working as an employee with Canada Post for her entire career, she retired from the post office in the small town of Canal Flats, BC before moving to the coast. Dawn and her husband cherished the drives they spent exploring Vancouver Island, a place they began to call home after moving from Canal Flats, ten years ago. Last July she celebrated her 60th anniversary with Lou, where she spent a wonderful weekend surrounded by her family and friends, and playing with her nine grand children and nine great-grand children.

Summit Lake ski hill gets new groomer Trisha Shanks Arrow Lakes News
Summit Lake ski hill has a brand new grooming machine thanks to the efforts of one of the board members, Mark Aeichele. He is one of the volunteers who keeps the hill running and spends a lot of time in winter grooming the snow. Up until this year, the hill had a 1993 groomer which had come to the end of its useful life. “It was a 1993 model, very worn out. At the end of the 2014 ski season I started to look for a groomer for the Summit Lake ski hill. From the east coast to the west coast I talked to each ski hill and cross country trail group there was, in the end it came down to two hills that were willing to work with our little hill.” He says that it was the area’s charm that finally “won over” the partnering hill. The drawing card, which sold Lake Louise on the idea of helping out the little ski hill15 minutes east of Nakusp, was the concept of how small the population is in relation to the mass amount of effort people make to keep the sport alive. Aeichele relayed to them that in Nakusp the elementary students are taught how to ski in a program that follows right through from kinder-

garten to Grade 12. “The Summit Lake ski hill signed a fantastic agreement with Lake Louise Ski Resort,” he explained, “Along with the deal that came with the groomer we now have a big sign in the parking lot, if you haven’t noticed.” They intend to pay for the new machine via grants and general revenue. The sign at Summit Lake ski hill promotes Lake Louise ski resort and the two hills have arranged for locals to receive a weekend deal when purchasing lift tickets. Lake Louise has offered a three-year contract with no interest to pay off the new groomer, fondly named Jennifer. “She now lives and works at the ski hill. Hope to see you next year at the hill,” said Aeichele. Summit Lake Ski Area is a small community-operated ski hill located 16 km east of Nakusp. The hill, located at the east end of the lake adjacent to BC Hwy 6 has a T-bar and rope tow and a daylodge with cafeteria and eating area. Offerings include rentals, lessons, night skiing, snowboarding, a halfpipe, a 1 km crosscountry ski trail, and a terrain park for summer use.

Change is here. In an unprecedented transition from the notoriously old-fashioned business model, stores across the province, including the government run liquor store in Nakusp will now be open longer. The Nakusp branch began its new schedule on May 15; the store will be open until 7 p.m. on weekdays, late on the weekends and even on Sundays through until Labour Day. Thanks to changes in the provincial liquor laws handed down April 1, locals have the option to shop at the government store or the private store located within the K2 Rotor Lodge, which is open every day from 10 a.m. to 11p.m. Minister of Justice Suzanne

Anton said, “The goal of the government’s year-long modernization of its liquor policy involves offering more convenience for consumers and levelling the playing field for businesses, private and public.” There have been several changes in liquor laws of late. First, the shelf prices decreased. Tax is no longer included in the price advertised below a product in any government-run liquor store — BC Liquor stores hopes to show that the government pricing is not higher than that of private stores. Other changes are at hand, Anton told the CBC Vancouver’s The Early Edition, “People are used to having (a wide variety of) stores open, and it’s always been a little odd — certainly in the last while — that BC Liquor
Stores are closed so much on the weekends and holidays.” The days of banker’s hours seem to have drawn to a close. Acting manager this weekend at the BC Liquor store, Deb Godtmark said, “customers are loving it. We had to hire one more person and the existing staff are getting more hours.” The Liquor Control and Licensing Act, as rewritten, will further government efforts to make liquor licensing more efficient, seamless and fair, to expand convenience in ways that consumers, businesses and charitable organizations’ support such as by streamlining the special occasion licence application process and opening it up to event promoters, and to prevent illegal access to and consumption of liquor.”

OUR VIEW
Take steps to mend relationships
Most of us have them: a family member, neighbour or friend that exited our lives negatively. We cross the street to avoid them. Clearly the situation still eats away at us but it’s tough to let it go. The good news? It’s not too late to repair a broken connection. Practice forgiveness If you feel that somebody did you wrong, try being the bigger person. T.V. talk show host Dr. Phil says, “This situation needs a hero.” Remaining stuck in victimization only prolongs the problem. Would it kill you to bend — just a little? Look inside your heart and try to let it go. Was the situation so bad that you would go the rest of your life without ever speaking to that person again? Or was it just your ego that got hurt? Maybe enough time has passed that it isn’t as fresh and you can put your pride aside to reach out. This is your chance to express yourself and be the bigger person. Many people are receptive to resolving conflict once enough time has passed. You could make out with the relationship mended or at the very least, feel better knowing that you tried. Be willing to apologize If you are the one who wronged somebody else and your guilt or shame over the situation has gotten the better of you, consider admitting your trespasses. The weight of hurting somebody else is heavy. Contact them in person, in writing, or over the phone and offer a simple “I’m sorry for…” It isn’t the other person’s job to forgive you but it will likely feel much better in your world for trying. It could be all that is needed to set things straight and repair the damage. Don’t live with regret For children, days and months pass slowly. The older we get, the faster time flies. Life is short. That saying rings the loudest after the loss of a loved one. The apology you thought about sending might just be too late if you continue to wait. Seize the day, the sooner the better; now is the best time to remedy the broken connections in your life. Humans are social creatures. We need the company of others to feel good about ourselves and the world around us. Don’t spend another day being estranged from someone you care about. The relief you feel from mending fences will be immense.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
I would like to congratulate the Arrow Lakes News team in producing a wonderful weekly newspaper. The paper is colourful with photos of local people and community events as well as local stories about the happenings of our little town of Nakusp. And, there is a lot happening and your paper is picking up on all the events. I have been reading the Arrow Lakes News since I left Nakusp in 1972 and the improvements over the last year are remarkable. The variety and calibre of weekly columns written by local folks is exceptional as is the layout of the newspaper. Each page brings me more news to connect me to my hometown. Keep up the good work!

The Happy Forager My inspiration for this article came to me yesterday afternoon as I made my way to my back deck to enjoy a freshly brewed tea, soak in the beautiful view of my backyard and revel in my newly hung flower baskets. It took only moments to realize I had unknowingly stepped into a war zone. A myriad of hummingbirds were battling for the sweet nectar of my new baskets, and if you’ve never witnessed how vicious those gorgeous, tiny birds can be towards each other, let’s just say I was lucky to escape with only a slight burn and half-a cup of tea. I realized it was time to get my beloved hummingbirds some feeders, which also made me think of the big responsibility of doing so. Did you know they are an easy bird to love to death? First of all, great care must be taken to provide feeders that are clean and free from mold and fungus, or the poor little buzzers can develop a serious and deadly fungus infection. This infection causes the tongue to swell, making it impossible for it to feed, so it will die a slow and painful death from starvation! To make it even worse, a mother hummingbird can pass a fungal infection to her babies. I bet you’re running to grab your feeder right now. To clean your feeder, flush the feeder with hot tap water and use a bottle brush to scrub the sides of the glass jar. Do NOT use soap; soap will leave a residue behind. (If you just can’t help yourself and must use soap, a bleach or vinegar and water solution rinse will remove soap residue.) Make sure you inspect
CHA NT E L L E CA RT E R
the feeder carefully for black mold. If you see any mold growth, soak the feeder in a solution of 1/4 cup bleach to one gallon of water for one hour. Secondly, fermented nectar can damage the liver, which can lead to death. If the nectar becomes cloudy, it has spoiled and needs to be replaced. A sugar solution can spoil in as little as two days. If your feeder is hanging in the sun or outside temperatures are high, the nectar may start to ferment in just one day. To make nectar, mix one part ordinary white cane sugar to four parts water. (Do not use store bought mixtures, do not use honey or any other kind of sugar — just ordinary white cane sugar.) Bring to a quick boil, stir to dissolve the sugar, then let the mixture come to room temperature before you fill your feeder. The boiling water will help slow fermentation of the nectar, but as soon as a hummingbird beak dips and drinks, the microorganisms carried on the beak will be transferred into the nectar. Put out only as much nectar as your birds will consume in two or three days. If you mix up a large batch of nectar, you can keep the rest in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. If you’re planning on a summer vacation, remember to take down your feeders or leave them in the care of a trusted neighbour. Let’s all do our part valley folk and take care of our famished, frisky, feathery friends so they can forage in favourable fashion.

SENIORS’ COLUMN The major plus factor based on growing one’s own food locally includes that of ensuring an increased level of awareness incorporating health and safety. This is especially so, as the gardeners themselves know first hand what enters the soil and plant medium being used to grow quality edible fruits and vegetables which are eventually harvested for consumption at the dinner table. The Hummingbird Gardening Group (a community garden founded a few years ago) is located at the rear of the Anglican Church, situated not far from the Nakusp Elementary School premises. Anyone wishing to visit the garden or to learn more about gardening techniques, which can be employed simply and affordably, is welcome to drop by for inspirational ideas or practical suggestions. Donations of various tools, plants, gardening and future construction supplies are also appreciated. The gardening group is considered to be a helpful information resource and would be happy to provide details of what is available to local gardeners in getting things started whether as an individual or as part of a group potentially in another location. You can also learn how the Hummingbird Gardening Group first got started and evolved over the years. For more information call Trudy at 250-265-2156.
School district hopes to attract 10 international students for September
Canadian education sought after by global community TRISHA SHANKS Arrow Lakes News
Federal and provincial governments are working to turn our public school system into a new revenue stream by offering English and cultural immersion to students from abroad. Ed Fast, Minister of International Trade and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway, released a report in 2012 showing that international students contributed more than $8 billion to the Canadian economy in 2010, up from $6.5 billion in 2008. School District 10 wants a piece of the action and has been pounding the virtual pavement to recruit students from afar. Tuition is paid by the families of international students and goes directly to the district — the education that is paid for with tax money for Canadian residents is paid for out of pocket by students from other countries. This business model is cost-recovery based, and in some districts is generating a profit. Superintendent Terry Taylor and Nakusp Secondary School Vice Principal Ryoko Kobayashi hope to create the same in the Arrow Lakes. Students abroad whose families can afford it will apply via a liaison agency in their home country; everything from a lifestyle questionnaire to medical and
Friday May 22, 1925 “Only Once in Thirty Years” is to be the slogan of the Old Timers’ Reunion at Nakusp, May 25 and 26. The program for Monday is open to all comers, as it is Victoria Day, while Tuesday’s events are designed for Old timers mostly, and there is no doubt that the Bannock Baking Contest and the Pipe Lighting Contest will prove events of sufficient interest to delight. Other Tuesday events include Throwing the Shoulder Stone, Rope Throwing Exhibition, Duck on a Rock, Old Time Songs in the Opera House, followed by and Old Time Dance. May 23, 1935 Construction and repair work was started last week at the Mammoth Mill and Mine in Silverton in preparation for its opening in the near future.

school records must be provided in both the original language along with a notarized English translation. This is then screened thoroughly by the district before acceptance is granted to any student. In addition to the tuition, the student also pays transportation, admin fees, medical insurance and a monthly homestay fee that goes to the family where the international student will live. All Arrow Lakes homestays are thoroughly screened for suitability including criminal record checks for resident adults. A complete vetting is conducted for the host parents and children, if any, because the visiting student will live with them as one of the family and as such needs to be made welcome and comfortable in addition to being safe and secure. The monthly stipend is $800, which goes to cover the student’s food and entertainment. The duration of the programs will vary by student — as of now, SD 10 can offer a three-year grad program, a one-year “Kootenay experience” program and the potential for short term programs. These could last from one week to six months depending on the curriculum, demand and availability of homestay families. German, Korean and Japanese connections are the most established relationships that Canada has for international
students at present. The emerging markets are Turkey, Vietnam, Brazil, China, India and Mexico as they begin to prosper and start to seek ways for their children to learn English in an immersion atmosphere where they are also benefitting from the cultural exchange. Some of the District’s strengths, which make it an appealing location for a student from abroad, include the rich local landscape offering hiking, hot springs, and skiing. Various sporting opportunities abound from tennis to team sports, recreational summer swimming, downhill and nordic skiing in winter in a safe, friendly community with amenities such as high speed internet, cell service, shops, and restaurants. The small population, lack of big city infrastructure and distance to an international airport could be categorized as strikes against the area. Kobayashi presented a module to area teachers during the professional development day on May 15 and addressed concerns about the resources in the classroom to assist with foreign students whose English might be very basic. The idea is to have English as a Second Language (ESL) or English Language Learner (ELL) trained teachers providing support to the students on a regular basis once resources are available for that.

Recognized as an ideal social venue, individual or cooperative gardening is referred to by many Seniors’ as an important and productive column activity. Gardeners can find considerable satisfaction through tending as well as consuming their aquaconn@columbiacable.net locally grown food, produce and decorative plants for the home or outdoor environment. Indeed, gardening, whether on an individual or collective basis, is generally viewed as being an ideal way of drawing together folks who are interested in sharing various other common interests. Working together, there evolves the promotion of new friendships as well as a valuable exchange of related information on the topics of selfsustainability, seeds and the availability of many different gardening supplies. As a social venue, one observes that as a participant you can develop a comfortable sense of belonging within one’s own group or potential circle of involvement. This serves as good news for new residents in particular who are interested in quickly getting to know their neighbours and their community as a whole. MARILYN BOXWELL

The Nakusp Secondary Sr. Girl’s regular soccer season came to an exciting end last Thursday during the zone championship match against Boundary Central. The two teams found themselves in a battle for first place in zone, a prize that would include the opportunity to continue past the regular season and represent the Kootenay region at the single “A” provincials along with 15 other teams from around BC. Golden, Kaslo, Boundary Central, Mt. Sentinel and Nakusp registered for the local play-downs, which were hosted at Zeleznik and Nakusp Secondary fields. The one-day zone final tournament was a simple two-game, “win to advance” structure, which pitted the Cougars against an unknown Golden squad in the first round. Fresh off the road from a modest performance in Osoyoos, no one was quite sure what Cougar team was going to show up on Zeleznik Field, but once the ball hit the pitch, all doubt vanished as the girls dug out the gravel in their guts and turned up the pressure. The game was an absolute blitz on the Golden keeper, as volley after volley of shots were directed towards the net during the one-sided battle. However, much to the concern of all those present, nothing was actually going in the onion sac and the score remained 0-0 for the majority of the first half. Frustration began to creep into the game as a sense of urgency swept the field and threatened to consume the nerves of the Cougars. It wasn’t until Ashley Friedenberger trapped in a weak Golden goal kick and finally put the ball away into the toy box that the Cougars were able to take their finger off the panic button and relax into a more confident game. With control of the match well in hand, the shot volume reduced in quantity and increased in quality as more balls found their way past the Golden keeper and the score was racked up to 5-0. The Cougar’s second game was absolutely nerve wracking for players, coaches and fans. Hitting the pitch with renewed vigor and confi-
dence, the Cougars stared down at a Boundary Central team who had earned their way to the zone final match by beating Kaslo in the first round. The game was an absolute wonder of missed opportunities and sudden, dangerous counterattacks as the Cougars played as the better team, but couldn’t prove their superiority with actual goals. Through a combination of smart play and warrior-like endurance, the Cougars thrashed away at the stoic Boundary Central defense and delivered ball after ball towards the net. The majority of possession and chances belonged to the Cougars, but either by happenstance or misfire, the ball just did not cross the goal line. Without a go ahead goal to provide some semblance of relief, the Cougars amped up their efforts past the red line in their search for the lead. Ridding the ragged edge of their efforts, the Cougars were prone to sporadic skittish mistakes that allowed the skilled Boundary Central midfielders chances for swift and dangerous counterattacks. These random breaks in the offensive dominance of the Cougars caused frantic and frenzied scrambles for both teams that resulted in close calls, which were too close for comfort. Digging deep into their gravel, the search for the provincial golden ticket turned desperate as regulation time dwindled away and the game entered into overtime. The tournament structure called for two 10-minute overtime halves followed by a shootout to settle any ties and declare a winner. Desperate to avoid a shootout decision, the Cougars and Boundary left everything out on the field during an intense, gut wrenching overtime with both teams flushing out chances to find the net. Finally, the referee held up his hand signaling one minute left in the match, and the frenzy turned to jittering madness as coaches, players and spectators created an uproar of shouting and cheering that engulfed the Zeleznik field. Determined to end the match and pack her bags for provincials, stopper Taylor Aeichele gathered the ball just south of the center circle and made her way down the miracle mile into the danger zone to

Track team participates in first meet RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
This is the inaugural year for the Nakusp Secondary School track and field team who have formed under the guidance and support of vice principal Ryoko Kobayshi and local running enthusiast Kelly Waterfield. There hasn’t been a track and field team at the secondary school for many years, but a pool of talent was discovered in the student body and the formation of a team was suggested. “Our principal, Natasha Miles, and I both recognized that we have some very strong runners in our school and wanted to provide the opportunity for them to compete,” observed Kobayshi, “I became the coach by default as I used to coach high school track”. As this is the first year of competition for students and coaches, the team chose to focus on com-
peting in running and jumping events and signed up to participate in the Mount Baker Secondary School track meet in Cranbrook. Kobayshi confessed that the Nakusp team of four athletes, “felt a bit intimidated by bus loads of competitors attending the Kootenays zone championship,” but thanks to Crescent Bay Construction, the team received logoed t-shirts to wear, “helping to keep the team spirit high.” “We had great results,” Kobayshi said, “I am so very proud of our team!” Results Kiley Waterfield 1st 400m; 1st 800m; 2nd 1500m Garrett Waterfield 1st Triplejump; 3rd 400m Xander Leeson-Booth: 1st 400m; 3rd 200m Kalen Jones: 2nd 100m

who in an unfortunate laps in focus, bobbled the ball causing it to roll into the history book kept behind the goal line. Jubilation. Euphoria. Disbelief. No mix of words could possibly describe the feeling that swept the players and fans that were lucky
