Random acts of vandalism make no sense Recent incidents baffle residents of Nakusp and cost taxpayers RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
Vandalism and theft are not victimless crimes — they have repercussions whose effects ripple out through a community and drain resources that could be focused elsewhere. Recently, some individual or individuals took it upon themselves to remove 17 sprinkler heads off sprinklers along the waterfront walkway, a move that carries with it a repair cost of $1500 of taxpayer’s money. Even more baffling is the reported incident that involved two people digging plants out
of the public waterfront gardens. When community members confronted the vandals, the pair responded by saying “mind your own business,” and continued to deface public property. “This is a cost to our taxpayers and digging up flowers is stealing — no question about it,” Mayor Karen Hamling said. “It is not ‘thinning’, as some people have tried to justify. If people want flowers, they should drop off their name at the village office and when our crews do the scheduled thinning, they can pick up the flowers then.” In response to the sprinkler and flower incidents, Hamling is reaching out to the community to ask for help identifying vandals and encourages citi-

zens to report any theft or destruction around town. “The village can act as a sort of crime stoppers,” Hamling explains. “Most people probably don’t know this, but the village office doesn’t have caller ID or call display, so any report that comes in can remain anonymous.” Hamling is disheartened by the recent destructive acts, but acknowledges the majority of community members are responsible and respectful and the actions of a few do not represent the whole. “We are all trying hard to make Nakusp a special place to be and if anyone has any information on any of these occurrences, please report it to the RCMP or the Village of Nakusp office.”

Following their annual Father’s Day Poker Run, the Arrow Lakes ATV Club honoured George Bonacci, founder of the club, for 10 years of hard work and dedication. A large collage of framed pictures taken on different rides and a single picture of George on one of his many ATV adventures was presented to him. Ernie Knecht, on behalf of the club, thanked George for all the time and hard work he had put into the club. The Father’s Day Poker Run saw 48 participants ranging in age from 8 to 83 years. As well as local riders there were riders from Revelstoke, Sicamous and Salmon Arm ATV clubs in attendance and a total of 21 people in 10 rigs camped across the lake. Despite two machine breakdowns everyone made it back to camp for the presentation of prizes. Cash prizes given were: third prize to Team Mackintosh, second prize to Kevin and Cheryl Black and first prize to Ken Fisher. Donated prizes were given out following the cash prizes. Included in these were a new helmet, a riding jersey, riding gloves and a handmade quilt. As well as the poker run, there was a point-to-point with 20 items hidden along the trail for riders to find. Prizes were drawn for this part of the ride. Following the ride was hamburger and hot dog barbeque. This gave the riders a chance to compare items they had seen and ones they had missed along the trail. The Arrow Lakes ATV Club would like to thank those who generously donated to the club to make this a very successful day. Submitted by Linda Van Immerzeel
Nakusp area wildfire update RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
With wildfires burning all over the province, the fire ban issued by the Ministry of Forests for the Southeast Fire Centre remains in full effect. The ban prohibits campfires, the use of fireworks and the burning of waste. A full list of banned activities can be found online at http://bit.ly/1GlhE9l. BC Wildfire Service information officer, Fanny Bernard, wants to remind residents that there has not been significant precipitation to change the fire threat level. “Even though there may be isolated showers in your area, the Southeast fire centre is still suffering from dry conditions and very dry, combustible material on the ground.” Bernard said. Currently there are no wildfires in the Nakusp area that are burning out of the control of BC Wildfire Service crews. There have been two deployments of initial attack crews at Fostall Creek and Silvercup Ridge, and both fires have been contained. According to Bernard, “Crews are just mopping up hot spots and removing combustible materials.” Initial attack crews are four-person teams that
are deployed to small fire reports to action reported burns. These crews are highly trained and are often transported by helicopter with enough resources and supplies to last 24 hours on site. Crews have been quick to respond to burns and Bernard acknowledges the current successful fire management efforts as a “testament to the hard work these initial attack crews are doing in these challenging conditions.” Unfortunately, the efforts of the BC Wildfire service crews are being counteracted by calls received by Bernard’s office reporting abandoned campfires in the Southeast fire center, “which should not be happening during the current ban.” There has been more dry lightning activity in the area and crews are expecting an increase in hold-over fires caused by ground strikes. “Our resources need to be available to respond to these hold-over fires,” Bernard reiterates, “instead of responding to reports of human error.” Residents are reminded to respect the fire ban and to be conscientious of their outdoor activities, such as idling hot motorized vehicles over dry grass and tossing cigarettes out of their car windows. To report a wildfire or open burning violation, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone.

Steering committee seeks to designate rail trail
The proposal seeks to officially secure a currently undesignated section of trail RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
A volunteer steering committee in Rosebery has prepared a trail management plan proposal regarding a 26 kilometre stretch of the rail trail from Rosebery to Summit Lake. The proposal seeks to officially secure the well used, but currently undesignated section of trail as a public trail, as well as address environmental and maintenance concerns identified by the committee. Historically, surveyor George Dawson originally documented the trail as a part of a First Nations foot trail in 1889. During the 1890s the CPR developed the trail into the Nakusp and Slocan Railway during the heady days of silver mining that boomed through the valley but the railway was abandoned as the mining died away and sections were unofficially and officially adopted by recreational groups for public use. Groups have done their part in undertaking informal and formal volunteer maintenance, but the trail continues to disintegrate in sections without an official designation. According to the groups proposal (which is available to read online at https://roseberysummitrailtrail.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/r-slrail-trail-summary-final-version-06-02.pdf ), the Rosebery-Summit Lake trail has suffered significant deterioration due to continued and unmonitored use in addition to unchecked natural wear and tear caused by beaver activity, washouts and unmanaged water flows. The proposal outlines a detailed plan to designate the Roseberry-Summit Lake section of trail for public non-motorized use with limited local motorized access. The proposal named the Recreation Sites and Trails BC (RSTBC) branch of the Ministry of Forests as an interested group who would take on the stewardship of the trail along with their existing workload of public trail maintenance. Nakusp residents and recreation club members have mixed feelings about the proposal because the committee is suggesting heavy regulations on motorized vehicle use of the trail as part of their proposal. The Rosebery committee, sighting the BC Recreation Manual used by government ministries to plan and design trails which states, “in most cases, motorized and non-motorized use on the same trail is not recommended,” recommends limited ATV access to the trail system. This could take the form of
a membership driven program that would impose restrictions such as speed limits and day permits issued when environmental conditions are favorable. The proposal also prohibits the use of dirt bikes or other motorcycle vehicles on the trail. Nakusp Trails Society member and trail maintenance supervisor, Wulf Mense is cautiously optimistic about the proposal and trusts the group is following due process to make sure the desires of the people are balanced with the potential impact on the environment. “I am positive about the upcoming changes,” Mense shared. “We maintain a section of the rail trail as multi-use, but our section is not as environmentally fragile as Bonanza Creek. I think there should be an environmental assessment done.” The Nakusp Trails Society is the official steward of the rail trail section from outside Nakusp to Summit Lake and have designated it a multiuse trail. Mense credits the successful partnership on a mutual respect. “We don’t want to stop people from getting from point A to point B, but everyone needs to respect trail etiquette. We don’t want people racing for example and ripping up the trail because then we just have to spend money and time to fix it again,”he said. The society is currently working on increasing signage along the trail and has plans to implement trail etiquette education in the schools. According to a statement prepared by Nakusp ATV club president Ernie Knecht, “the club recognizes tolerance, respect and good trail etiquette,” as key elements in sharing trails, and promotes “multi use trails for all users to be shared with everyone.” The club has taken up a vocal opposition to the current proposal by the Rosebery steering committee, stating “ATV riders find it unacceptable that a self appointed group from Hills and Rosebery can propose the formation of a steering committee, which will severely restrict the use of the trail by all users.” Knecht maintains that “the solution should be to designate the rail trail as multi-use and work on a plan that uses tolerance, respect and good trail etiquette to make the trail shareable and usable by everyone.” The Rosebery steering committee is currently tabulating the results of a poll that was distributed to valley residents through the Valley Voice and expects to publish their feedback by July 10.

Given the determination of my New Denver GP, Dr Magier, to find out why I was only firing on seven of my eight diesel engine cylinders (March ‘15), I was diagnosed with having colon cancer on June 9. Two weeks later a team of surgeons in Trail hospital performed a flawless three-hour operation to remove a tumour of “significant size in an awkward place.” Three days later, following around the clock care from teams of doctors, nurses and support staff, I returned to our home in Hills. The external support network from local to international friends and family was simply astonishing. My biggest rock was my personal team — my wife Natasha Miles. Thank you to each and every one of you. The public sector is an absolute crucial element to the success of our modern day society. Knock it and criticise it at your peril. The Interior Health Authority, and BC Health Care, is in no way perfect, dogged by politics, demands, expectations and budgets. But what I do know is that those who deliver this care do so with professionalism, confidence, expertise and a smile. The teams we all belong to, that of community, neighbours, friends and family — they work too.

Canada Day was awesome in Nakusp this year and the weather was spectacular. It was great to see so many old friends and new faces enjoying all that our town has to offer. As nice as it is to have long, hot summer days it can also be hazardous to your health if you are not careful. We all know how important it is to use sunscreen, but it’s equally important to stay hydrated. Of course plain old water is always the best choice when looking for a healthy way to hydrate but let’s be honest, it’s not the most exciting beverage. Ice cold, fizzy, soda pop and sugary fruit juices are sure to tempt even the most health conscious person when the temperatures soar. If you’re looking for a healthier way to stay hydrated you do have options, you can make your own iced tea by brewing your favourite blend at home and sweetening as you please. The same goes for lemonade, a few organic lemons and the sweetener of your choice is sure to surpass anything you’ll find on the store shelf.

Our apologies In the July 2 edition of the Arrow Lakes News regarding the article “The Kinsman Center is reborn as the Kinship Connection,” it was stated that Teresa Weatherhead is a staff member of Options for Sexual Health, when in fact, she is a volunteer. Weatherhead dedicated her time as a volunteer to bring together the steering committee and headed the efforts to create the Kinship Connection Centre.
If you’re looking for something completely different why not try an old fashioned drinking vinegar or “shrub” as they are also known. These sweet and tangy vinegar based drink concentrates can be added to water or club soda for a thirst quenching beverage that is quite unlike any other. They first came into fashion during Colonial times as a way to preserve the fruits of summer when there was no refrigeration, and they were served in the fields to help keep the workers cool and hydrated. There are many health benefits to adding vinegar to your diet; it has an alkalizing effect on the body which is great for heart burn sufferers, and it helps regulate blood sugar so it’s the perfect precursor to a high carb meal. Recipes abound online for making your own shrubs and there are a few commercial brands available as well. So get out there and enjoy our beautiful lakes and mountains during these wonderfully hot days, but be sure to pack plenty of liquids to keep you hydrated and safe.

• This Week in History • July 10, 1925 The connecting link between the Okanagan and Arrow Lakes districts has almost been completed. A little more work will be required to put the road into shape, but this work is proceeding. Edgewood is planning a big celebration for the opening of the highway, which is expected to be August 8. July 11, 1935 Mrs. Margaret Jones, of Nakusp, wife of Albert E. Jones, died in Nelson Sunday morning at the age of 49. She came to Nakusp in 1914, where she and her husband ran a confectionery store. July 12, 1945 George Clark reports the thermometer reached 103 degrees Tuesday afternoon, to make it the hottest day so far this year. It also quickly nosedived to 92, indicating a storm. Mrs. J.H. Dolman is the receipt of an eight-page letter from her sister in Holland. It’s the first letter she’s received since 1942, and gives an interesting account of conditions in Holland under Nazi domination. July 7, 1955 In spite of unseasonably cool weather, Nakusp’s Dominion Day celebrations were run as scheduled. Marjorie Hill was elected Queen, with Gay Leverington and Monica Miller her attendants.

The Underwood Trophies went to Mildred Johnson and Brian Hopp. July 9, 1975 A brief power outage in the area at noon on Monday marked the return of full power facilities at the Whatshan Power Station near Fauquier. On April 16 the main transformer went out causing a power failure, which lasted more than 18 hours. An auxiliary line was brought into service to supply Fauquier and Burton, but the rest of the area was blacked out until an emergency unit from Vernon was put into operation late the next day. July 10, 1985 Two hundred firefighters are battling blazes in Nakusp area forests. On Tuesday at noon there were 35 fires under observation, having been controlled and in the mop-up stages. One fire, named Stone Fire, has 30 men on the line at present backed up by support helicopters dumping retardant. Cats, tanker trucks and pump units are being used on Stone, and two other fires in the near area. At MacDonald Creek Park there is a camp set up and men are working the three Burton area fires from this point.
Burton boil water notice rescinded
50 and Fabulous!
Happy Birthday Teresa Jansen! Love from Mom, Dad, & the family xo
RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
The boil water notice for residences on the Burton Water System was rescinded on June 24. The precautionary measure was announced on June 16 after the discovery of a bat in the reservoir during a routine inspection. It is assumed that the bat entered the tank through a compromised vent screen, which is in place on reservoirs to let air escape during the filling process. These vents are screened to prevent insects and other debris or animals from entering the reservoir. As of June 19, water testing results have come back showing safe water quality within the Federal Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality, but the boil water notice was left in place until June 24 as a precautionary measure. General Manager of Environmental Services, Uli Wolf, reports that the tank has been thoroughly cleaned and inspected and the water is cleared for Burton residents.

wheel continues to turn
The Rotary international youth exchange is an exciting opportunity for students aged 15 to 19 to travel abroad and spend a year in a different country. Promoted as a chance to share and strengthen one’s own culture while helping to work towards Rotary goals of global understanding, up to 8000 students participate in the program every year. The Nakusp Rotary club facilitates youth exchanges by acting as liaisons as well as providing a support network for young students who find themselves on a Canadian adventure. The local youth exchange officer for the Nakusp Rotary chapter is Bill Tobey and he has no doubt that “our community, school and students are richer from the exposure to our Rotary exchange students.” Nakusp has an active history with the youth exchange program and has seen many students come and go. Most recently, local resident, Silken Jones, traveled to Brazil for 4 weeks and 15 year-old Pato Morfin arrived in Nakusp from Mexico in August, 2014. Morfin is nearing the end of his year-long stay and is preparing to return to his family on July 8 with stories about cold winters and the glory that is Canadian food. “I will be bringing home maple cookies and maple syrup to share with my friends and family, but for me, my favorite food was the poutine. When I first saw it I thought ‘why would you eat this, it looks gross,’ but then I tasted it and I changed my mind. My family will probably say the same thing
when I show them poutine.” During the exchange, Morfin challenged all the usual stereotypes about Canada and opened up his perspective about Canadians and life abroad. When asked why he participated in the Rotary program, Morfin explained he “loves to travel and wanted to learn a new language. My older brother and sister did exchanges and when my father asked if I wanted to do a youth exchange I said, ‘why not?’” Summing up his experience, Morfin described his time in Canada as, “wonderful, with wonderful people. Everyone always tells you that the first three months are the most difficult, but for me was not difficult. I made many friends and my host families and teachers helped me out a lot.” Tobey wishes the outgoing student Morfin “every success in the future as he returns to Mexico,” and acknowledges “all of those who help support the Rotary Youth Exchange Program; the three host families who gave Pato a home, the Nakusp Secondary School who welcomed him and guided him through our school year, and of course a huge thank you to all the students who became his friends over the year and not only helped him experience our culture but also discovered a bit about life for a student in Mexico.” With Morfin heading out as an outbound youth exchange student, Rotary prepares to welcome inbound student May Snyder from Japan who is scheduled to arrive in August, and will be bidding farewell to Claire Yaremchuk from Lucerne School in New Denver, who will be spending eleven months in Switzerland.

PUBLIC NOTICE VILLAGE OF NEW DENVER 2015 ANNUAL REPORT Residents of the Village of New Denver are requested to take notice that pursuant to Sections 98 of the Community Charter, the Village of New Denverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2015 Annual Report is now available for public inspection at the Village of New Denver Municipal OfďŹ ce, 115 Slocan Avenue, New Denver, B.C. on weekdays (except statutory holidays) between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Pursuant to Section 99 of the Community Charter, Council will consider submissions and questions from the public regarding the 2015 Annual Report at the July 28, 2015 Regular Meeting, scheduled for 7:00 p.m., in the Village of New Denver Council Chambers, 115 Slocan Avenue, New Denver, B.C.
On June 22, 2015 our beloved father, brother, grandfather and great-grandfather, Patrick Joseph McLaughlin was embraced by God at age 86. Born in Maghera, County Derry on August 16, 1928, Patrick excelled in football, Gaelic football and hurling. He had a beautiful deep singing voice, played accordion in the Maghera band and taught his sister Moira the Moonlight Saunter. He was chief projectionist in the cinema. In 1951 he made the courageous decision to embark on a new life in Canada. In Vancouver he became an actor with the Emerald Players. He became a certiďŹ ed heavy duty and automotive mechanic while working in Kitimat, Kemano and Vancouver. He studied Auto Mechanics at B.C.I.T and Economics with the University of Toronto. Following ten years with Metropolitan/Seaboard Life Insurance as sales representative and branch manager he became a Mechanical Inspector I, Weighmaster I in Sparwood, BC and completed a distinguished career with the Ministry of Solicitor General as a Technical Enforcement OďŹ&#x192;cer V. He enjoyed 25 years of retirement in idyllic Nakusp, BC. Patrick was the most profound thinker, eloquent speaker and well-read man one could ever know. His wisdom and power of mind were matched by his stellar character. He loved ďŹ shing on Arrow Lake, cooking and telling stories. Fiercely independent, his life is an inspiration to us all. No matter how formidable the obstacle he was determined to face it alone saying to himself, â&#x20AC;&#x153;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tough, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m tougher.â&#x20AC;? He was proud of his Irish heritage and poured tears of laughter telling of his youth â&#x20AC;&#x153;back home.â&#x20AC;? He is predeceased by his brother George and survived by his sister Moira and brothers Leonard and Robert. He is also survived by his children Moira, Kathleen, Sheila (Dave), Patrick (Maricel), Charlotte and Sean (Teresa), 14 grandchildren and one great-grandson. Services by Father Aaron de Dios were held at Chapel of Valley Funeral Home in Nakusp at 2:00 pm on June 26, 2015. Patrick Joseph McLaughlin rests peacefully at Old Hillcrest Cemetery in Nakusp, BC. Megan Johnson of Valley Funeral Home was entrusted with the funeral arrangements. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s online register at www.valleyfh.ca.
