CJHQ 107.1 FM The Arrow is the local community radio station with enough edge and chutzpah to take listeners on journeys outside of the typical bubble gum pop comfort zone. They might occasionally wake you up with some metal in the morning (either by mistake or design), but it gets you out of bed and it’s a price worth paying to hear music that is decidedly in and out of the mainstream and programming that is uniquely local. On the other hand, The Arrow isn’t like some college radio station obsessed with trying to out-cool your ex-boyfriend’s indy record collection. The Arrow is in a class all it’s own and after 10 years of sailing airwaves of tribulations and triumphs, The Arrow has received a landslide of good news, and change is on the horizon. Chris Ewings has been heroically manning the helm of The Arrow and has kept
it afloat through 10 years of uncharted waters. Dedicating more than a few volunteer hours working out of the veritable broom closet space that houses the broadcasting equipment (generously donated by the Arrow Lakes School District and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy) Ewings has been kicking out a continuous 1.6 watts of community radio that essentially covers the Nakusp township area. The station was originally a Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy project that was handed off to the Nakusp Roots Music Society along with the remainder of the station’s seven-year broadcasting license in 2009. In December 2011 during the aftermath of the Nakusp Roots Music Society collapse, the station branched off on its own and incorporated under the guise of the Nakusp Community Radio Society with Ewings officially taking over the day-to-day operations. 2015 marked the end of the seven-year license and Ewings began the lengthy and arduous process of renewal along with an
Nakusp’s 510 Broadway St W, Nakusp, BC (250) 265-3662
application to the Community Radio Fund of Canada for additional monies to help with the operational demands of running a community radio station. Last week Ewings received responses to both of his applications. “It was about a week apart when our license was renewed and I heard back from CRFC that our grant was approved and it was like, wow, a breath of fresh air,” he said. With a seven-year license in hand and money in the bank from the CRFC, Ewings was able to create a paid station manager position (which Ewings successfully applied for and will finally provide some remuneration for his efforts in the past 10 years), as well as to hire Annette Gorrie as a volunteer coordinator. Ewings is confident that these two key additions to The Arrow’s team will not only help ensure the survival of the station, but will grow the product exponentially. “All of us here at The Arrow are committed to community radio as a vehicle
for community development, information sharing and fun,” Ewings explains, “but one of the biggest challenges is meeting the requirements set out by the CRFC that mandates content, and what we have always had problems with is the spoken word requirements. In an 18-hour broadcast day we need to air 15 per cent of locally produced spoken word content which works out to be 19 hours a week of spoken word. Obviously I couldn’t do that just myself.” Ewings and Gorrie are actively seeking new ways to involve the local community in The Arrow’s programming and program development and have already added several new segments to the broadcast schedule including local business interviews and airing village council meetings. “The whole goal of this is to make this station sustainable by getting a core of volunteers who are active,” Ewings shared. “We are working to get a group of people together and start meeting those content goals.”

each tile was made. The tools used to make a mark in steel require a very steady hand — one slip and there goes the dremel, cutting a gash across the lovingly-detailed mountain you’ve been working on all day. When asked about such mistakes, Andrew just laughs. “Sometimes they happen, and you just have to work with it. I usually start my original pieces with a single mark in the metal, so if something goes wrong early, I can take it in stride and build off it.”

Steel. What does that word bring to mind? Structural material? A Judas Priest album? Kitchenware? A football team? How about art? Tim Andrew and his partner Giselle Duval, the two halves of Rave ‘n’ Iron, use metal to make everything from earrings to money clips to lighter cases, as well as what’s on display at the Studio Connexion Gallery in downtown Nakusp until August 9 — landscape artwork done on solid stainless steel tiles. Featuring the skies, mountains, rivers, lakes and trees of the Kootenays, the works are impressive for more reasons than just the fantastic end result. How exactly do you etch such fine details as individual tree branches on a material that’s famed for its use in heavy construction? The answer, of course, is to use something even stronger. Andrew uses a diamond-tipped dremel tool that rotates at around four to five thousand RPM to detail. For less delicate bits, he uses wire wheels and other industrial abrasives. This combination of practical knowhow and artistic application is at the heart of both Andrew’s and Duval’s works. The tiles themselves look wonderful, conveying the majesty of Kootenay nature and even changing colour depending on the light. From one angle, the sky above Saddleback Mountain could be dark, and from another, it could be as bright as a sweltering summer day. One can’t help but think of the contrast between the serene end product and the way
Baseball is considered by most to be the oldest sports institution in Nakusp dating far back, deep into the community fabric. Admittedly, there is an intangible schmaltz when hitting the diamond under the glow of the outfield lights on a warm summer evening that is habit forming. Under the guidance of a strong core of dedicated volunteers who have taken over the reigns of the Nakusp Mixed Slo-pitch Society, ball has been enjoying high levels of local participation with a seven-team league for the 2015 regular season. The group has also taken on the responsibility of hosting the annual Nakusp Slo-pitch tournament, which will be enjoying its 29th consecutive
year. The local tournament is a popular destination for a number of teams in the slo-pitch world, a feat which organizer Ryan Struck attributes to what he calls the total tournament package. “I think what keeps bringing teams back is people love the level of play in the tournament, they love that the camping is right close by, they can take full advantage of the beach on those hot August days in between games, all the shops and restaurants are within walking distance. I think they just love that everything their family needs for a great holiday is in one perfect little package. Just makes for an amazing weekend.” The tournament has 20 teams registered with some traveling from as far away as Kelowna, Abbotsford, Spokane and Alberta.
The popular homerun derby, sponsored by The Hut, will take place on Sunday and playoffs are scheduled for all day Monday. This year Nakusp will field three “local teams,” so quoted because many of the players currently live in Kelowna but return home for the long-weekend to play ball. The Brew Jays, SSP and Grey Jays (previously named the Big Kahuna and before that, The Youngins), will be gearing up for the three-day marathon of cheers and jeers. Last year the Big Kahuna roster carried community hopes of a hometown tournament winner by swinging their way deep into the semi-finals for a match against PFM, but lost in a close contest. The Creston Kokanee defeated PFM in the finals 13-11.

Kootenay Cultural Alliance
Taking place August 8 and 9, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Columbia Basin Culture Tour allows you to explore artists’ studios, museums, art galleries and heritage sites during this free, self-guided event. Travel to studios and archives that aren’t normally open, see demonstrations, new exhibitions and collections or meet people behind the scenes. To participate in the tour, simply grab a map, your Culture Tour Directory and go! New to the tour the tour this year in Silverton is Christiane Fortier who creates functional and decorative pots with a porcelain stoneware clay. Tea bowls, vases, and serving bowls are thrown by Christiane and multi-fired with clay slips and glazes to achieve different gradations of colour and texture. Teapots feature stainless steel handles that are hand fabricated and shaped to fit. Ana Bokstrom creates primarily clay sculpture — masks, figurative and abstract which often incorporate found objects such as antlers or twigs. They are mainly glazed using oxides, giving them an earthy natural character. In neighbouring New Denver visit the lovely, old Silvery Slocan Museum. Formerly the Bank of Montreal, this two-story museum features a rare brick bank vault, transportation exhibits, a collection of journals, business machines and memorabilia from the Newmarket Hotel (Victorian sitting room and kitchen) and an exhibition dedi-
cated to New Denver’s Japanese Canadians. Louise Ducharme of By Louie Studio will be exhibiting at Garden Graces for the tour. Louise works in oils, acrylics, watercolours, clay, collage, multi-media and encaustics. Visit Crazy Ravens Studio where Paula Cravens will be demonstrating gelatin prints and showing her original paintings, art cards and matted prints In downtown Nakusp is the studio of Debra Rushfeldt, a short walk from Nakusp’s beautiful waterfront walkway. View her over-sized realism based charcoal drawings, her whimsical and colorful abstract mixed media paintings, and experience a working art studio/gallery. Also in Nakusp is the Studio Connexion Gallery, a small independent gallery which promotes local and regional artists. The gallery is going into its seventh season and its owner, Anne Béliveau is looking forward to featuring new and established artists. Take the scenic route to Kaslo to visit Karel Peeters at Kooterra Pottery at his new studio/gallery on historic Front Street in Kaslo. The gallery will feature the colourful functional earthenware pottery of Karel and the work of other fine craft regional artisans in different media. At The Langham Cultural Society visit the Japanese Canadian Museum with archival photographs and view Regeneration an exhibition of celebrated West Kootenay artists, Tsuneko Kokubo and Toru
Fujibayashi in the gallery. North of Kaslo, tour the lovely garden of Fred Rudolph that features raised beds of vegetables and flowers surrounded by wilderness and mountain-side. Take in the photography, mixed media and group painting exhibition by Fred Rudolph, Sergio and Amber Santos. Fred’s photography is the extension of the garden, capturing subjects dear to his heart; animals, plants, and landscapes. In Ainsworth the J.B. Fletcher General Store joins the tour for the first time. Circa 1896, it is one of the oldest buildings in the area. Purchsed by Heritage Trust BC from the Fletcher family in the mid 1980’s and restored in 1986-87. The original counters and shelving remain in the store along with a large display of artifacts from the area. A large storyboard of historical photographs will be showcased telling the tale of Ainsworth’s early days as a mining community. Tour brochures are available at tourist information centres and participating venues.

• This Week in History •
July 24, 1925 On Friday afternoon shortly after the train had passed, a small fire started at the point where he railway passes the cemetery. Not until it had a good start was the fire observed. By then, a high wind was blowing and fanning the flames in tremendous fury towards town. Immediately the fire was known and the alarm sounded. Men ran from mills, from the stores and everywhere else with great eagerness. The fire covered about four acres of ground before it was controlled. It occurred within 100 feet of the cemetery and was madly racing towards the hospital when checked. About 10 miles of the Edgewood-Vernon road has been burned over. Two
bridges and 16 culverts have been completely destroyed and the delay is such that the date of the opening is very indefinite The section of road between Inonoaklin crossing and the Pre-emption is the damaged part. The net result of the fires along the CPR between Nakusp and Rosebery is summarized as follows by an experienced timber man: Loss of timberbetween three and 500,000 feet; Loss in royalties and stumpage- $600,000; destruction to poles at Summit Lake$10,000; loss of 45 building $15,000. July 23, 1975 The Nakusp Chamber of Commerce is circulating a petition protesting the closure of the CPR line from Den-
ver Canyon to Nakusp. The action was initiated as a result of the hearing regarding the closure slated for Nakusp on July 30.
July 22, 1965 The gravel crushing and tarring outfit arrived last week and work on the paving of the Nakusp-Bonanza Creek (Highway 6) is commencing.
July 21, 1955 Officers at Celgar Development. Co. Ltd. have signed a forest management licence agreement covering 858,000 acres with the provincial government. The company has agreed to build a 300-ton pulp mill. It already operates two sawmills at Nakusp and Castlegar.

Edible Flowers HALF-ACRE HAPPENINGS Crystal Larder
Edible flowers have gained popularity over the years and are often seen garnishing a special dessert or sprinkled on salads in high-end restaurants Squash blossoms, calendula petals and nasturtiums are probably the most familiar but I was surprised to learn just how many of our common blossoms are edible and the wide range of ways they can be incorporated into our daily diet. As I look around our little half acre I see many culinary possibilities. This spring I fell in love with flower jellies and made countless jars of lilac and rose jelly. It feels quite decadent to assemble cream cheese and lilac sandwiches for those end-of-June school lunches when the kids are as sick of eating peanut butter and fruit jam. A tea of Lady’s Mantle, raspberry leaf and rose petals soothes the soul and calms the belly and don’t forget about rose hips. They are extremely high in vitamin C and can be boiled to make a nutritious and delicious syrup. The leaves and flowers of Bee Balm (Bergamot) can be dried to make Oswego Tea, a drink that the First Nations shared with settlers in Colonial times. It’s also delicious

Day lilies can be stuffed with cream cheese and herbs, battered and fried for a delightful appetizer or side dish. Borage leaves have a delicate cucumber flavour and the beautiful blue blossoms are a lovely addition to salads. I’ve recently learned that the entire sunflower plant is edible. The young shoots can be thinned and enjoyed raw, the leaves can be boiled, steamed or lightly fried, the stalks of younger plants can be peeled and chopped for salads, stir fries and veggie plates.

Were you aware that the temperature in a parked car, even in the shade, can rapidly reach a level which is high enough to seriously harm or even kill your pet? The outside temperature may register at 26 degree centigrade but after just 20 minutes it rises inside to 43 degree centigrade. The BC SPCA and other organizations concerned with the health and safety of our pets including Nakusp area’s PALS, urges us to familiarize ourselves
with the warning signs of heatstroke. These include the lack of coordination, exaggerated panting, salivation, weakness, muscle tremors and also convulsions or vomiting. In addition, observe the pet’s tongue and normally red lips, which may eventually turn bluish in colour. These are warning signs that your pet may be in trouble. It is also a good idea to put together an emergency kit for your pet for use during times when the threat of impending forest fires becomes real. “No one likes to think that an emergency like a wildfire or an earthquake will happen, but in the event that it does, it’s best to be prepared both for yourself and for your beloved family pets,” according to the BC Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and associated animal welfare groups including Nakusp’s PALS.

eaten with butter and salt, they apparently resemble artichokes and I can’t wait to try this. Sunflower petals will add a bittersweet flavour to your meal and, last but not least, the well known sunflower seeds can be eaten fresh, roasted or pressed for oil. All that from one plant! These are just a few of the many edible species available and hopefully you have been inspired to try something new. A parting word of caution though, please do your research before consuming a new plant as there are many poisonous varieties around us. Lupine, foxglove, lily of the valley and iris are just a few that are extremely toxic and should only be enjoyed in a garden or vase — never on your plate!

Medieval Day madness RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
Betcha didn’t know that the village of Nakusp resides right on the boarder of the Kingdom of An Tir, which is currently ruled by King Havordh Ættarbani and Queen Mary Grace of Gatland. Yep, we are under the fictional rule of a king and queen who hold court, make proclamations, host tournaments, practice politics and, along with other members of the Society of Anachronism (SCA), participate in all manner of activity that would have been expected from a pre-17th century European society. In this medieval worldview, the modern globe has been carved up into a map of 19 kingdoms, each with its own monarchy structure complete with subsidiary principalities which branch into smaller shires and baronies. Within each kingdom, and under the governance of their respective royalty, participants of the SCA are committed to researching and recreating the arts and skills of the bygone middle ages through festivals, workshops and tournaments for members and the general public. The non-profit SCA educational society originated in California almost 50 years ago, when the first gathering was hosted to celebrate the graduation of the Countess Diana the Listmaker, (Diana Paxson). The 19th-cetnury themed recreation of medieval life was called the Last Tournament and kicked off a new era in research and recreation that spans the world with over 30 000 participating members. Thanks to the joint efforts of local Daniel Abraham and the

Abraham arrived in Nakusp around 2013 and after hearing about the successful rise and fall of the Nakusp music fest he was inspired to help fill the social and economic void left by its departure. Abraham settled on the medieval festival concept after observing the rich tapestry of “eclectic artisans and crafters” in the Arrow Lakes area and contacted the SCA to inquire about hosting an event. Within a year, the incorporated non-profit society, Nakusp Medieval Society was created with the support of the Village of Nakusp and a thorough concept description was on the planning table. Referred to as “the festival,” the two-day celebration will showcase an exhibition of demonstrations, music, dramatic performances and even an all out war between the Kingdom of Avacal and the principality of Tir Righ, which resides within the Kingdom of An Tir. “The war is going to be the equivalent of BC doing battle with the USA” Abraham explains. “The whole theme of the SCA coming here is that there is a war for Nakusp. We are like a little frontier town on the edge of the Tir Righ principality, so its disputed territory right on the border. The result of this war has the potential to redraw the map.”

The upcoming joint venture between the SCA and the Nakusp Medieval Society is a unique partnership that has not been undertaken before and both groups are curious about how it will play out. “If the event is received well, then there is potential to evolve into a kingdom vs. kingdom war,” Abraham explains. “It would encompass a larger scale event that could involve the entirety of north western America’s SCA members, and numbers-wise, instead of expecting 300 or 350 or so participants, we would be looking at maybe a thousand. It is an opportunity for Nakusp to really showcase itself to the medieval group and potentially reinvent itself as a community.” Stratford is also breaking new ground with this event and is hopeful that enough in-
terest will take hold to develop a branch of the SCA in the area.
We are rolling up our sleeves and getting ready to put on a really good show.
“This size of an event in a little village — it is a big deal for the members. And for us to have an event there without a branch there to support
us, all I can say is that I am really pleased that Daniel and his team have been on the ground to help us pull this off because we have really needed them. We would absolutely love to have a branch in Nakusp if that is what the local wants and we’ll do whatever we can to support them and grow them.” Abraham and Stratford’s teams will be meeting up this week to begin the final preparations for the festival. “We are rolling up our sleeves and getting ready to put on a really good show,” Stratford exclaims. ”We are super excited; I have a huge team who have been pulling all the different aspects of this event together and it is going to be epic!” Tickets are available online and a complete schedule of events can be found on the Nakusp Medieval Society’s webpage and in this issue of the Arrow Lakes News.

Durable art
• Continued from page 2
For the same reason stainless steel can be hard to work with even for masters like Andrew and Duval, it has incredible longevity as art. It takes concerted effort and power tools to damage the 6x6 to 12x24 inch tiles that Andrew uses as canvas. From the indoors to the outdoors and anything short of a trash compactor, the engravings will remain untouched by the elements for... well, pretty much forever. Andrew has always wanted to be self-employed, and the skills he gained from industrial metalworking (he helped make aircraft) have allowed him to do that in a rather spectacular fashion. Rave ‘n’ Iron has a website, international shipping, and an average review rating of 4.8/5 online. It’s more than just numbers, though; you can see it when he talks about what he does, and you can see it in the landscapes he’s brought to warm life through cold steel. Special thanks go to Anne Béliveau, who organized the opening event and catering, as well as Jennifer Cross of Jennifer Chocolates for making those delicious chocolate-covered fruit thingies that disappeared with alarming speed. Andrew and Duval’s work can be found at theraveniron.com, or on their Youtube, Etsy, and Pinterest pages. Andrew’s tile landscapes can be found at the Studio Connexion Gallery in Nakusp. Regular viewing times are between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., Tuesdays to Saturdays. Alternatively, a private viewing can be arranged by calling the gallery at 250-265-3586.

Community Song for Nakusp Angus Schroff Arrow Lakes News
What’s in a song? Depending on your disposition, music can make you laugh, make you cry, or make you mutter under your breath about kids these days and their pop music before turning off the radio. Ty Klassen’s new song entitled Nakusp is a Great Place to Be, sprouted from a long-dormant seed of an idea. Ty wanted to find a way to foster community spirit, and he’d written over 200 songs since starting all the way back in the halcyon days of the mid80’s, so why not make a song by and for the community of Nakusp? It turns out there weren’t really any reasons why not. A jaunty little ditty, Ty’s song takes what people told him they loved about Nakusp and puts it into playful, acoustic rhythm. From the scenery to the friendly people to the town’s rich history, the song reminds us all of why we’re lucky to live here — even if we sometimes do have to dig a completely buried car out from under what seems like an entire Greenland’s worth of snow. As the song says,
nothing’s ever perfect. And what isn’t perfect can be improved upon. Ty intends to spread the song among the people of Nakuspand encourages them to add their own verses. Love the quiet, foggy spring mornings, or the bright summer days? Then say so! His idea for the song is not for it to be a purely static piece of music, but something that grows and changes as our community does. The closest parallel that can be drawn is to old folk songs and sea shanties, which, in a century-spanning game of telephone, can slowly morph and change over time with every retelling. The song is written to encourage that as well; a convoluted, 7/4 time, 20-minute long prog rock opera it is not, so no one should have any trouble adding their own twist on things. “Nakuspitality,” a phrase used in Ty’s song, was orginally coined by the late Milton Parent, who used it in his song for Nakusp’s 100th anniversary. Our town’s 125th is coming up soon, and Ty plans to sing, Nakusp is a Great Place to be live in concert during the event.
REGIONAL DISTRICT OF CENTRAL KOOTENAY
NOTICE OF ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS EDGEWOOD & AREA ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION HALL FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION SERVICE PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Board of Directors of the Regional District of Central Kootenay proposes to adopt “Edgewood and Area Royal Canadian Legion Hall Financial Contribution Service Establishment Bylaw No. 2455, 2015” which would authorize the annual requisition of not more than $10,000 or $0.174/$1000 of net taxable value of land and improvements, whichever is greater. The purpose of this bylaw is to provide a financial contribution for the operation and maintenance of the community hall portion of the Royal Canadian Legion building in Edgewood. Eligible voters within the Edgewood and Area service area are being asked by Alternative Approval Process on whether or not they are in favour of providing the annual financial contribution. BACKGROUND: The Royal Canadian Legion Branch #203 has provided Edgewood and area residents with a community hall for several years. The community hall is well used and highly valued by the community. The Legion has subsidized operating costs of the hall as a service to the community. However, the Legion’s income is falling while operating expenses continue to rise. The Legion has explored alternative sources of funds to continue to operate the hall but has found none. TAX IMPLICATIONS: The Legion is requesting taxation to fund the costs to maintain and operate the community hall portion of the building. This amount would not exceed $10,000 per year. Bylaw 2455 limits the taxation to an actual rate of $0.174/$1000 which converts to a residential rate of $0.166/$1000. Taxation on Residential Property at $0.166/$1,000 Property assessed at
$100,000 $250,000 $400,000
$16.60 $41.50 $66.40
ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS: Under Section 86 of the Community Charter, approval of the electors within the Edgewood and Area Royal Canadian Legion Hall Financial Contribution Service Area is being obtained by means of the Alternative Approval Process. Therefore, eligible electors within the service area opposed to the RDCK establishing this service may petition against the adoption of Bylaw No. 2455 by signing an Elector Response Form which may be obtained from the Regional District of Central Kootenay office. At least 10% of electors must petition against the proposal prior to the deadline date, which is at least 30 days after the last publication of a notice in the local paper, in order to prevent the Board from proceeding with the Bylaw without the assent of the electors. ELECTOR RESPONSE FORM: The Elector Response Form must be in the form established by the Board of Directors and is available from the offices of the Regional District of Central Kootenay during regular office hours or from the RDCK’s website at www.rdck.bc.ca

The Board of Directors has resolved that a fair estimate of the total number of electors in the subject area is 290. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 86(1)(c) of the Community Charter, 29 or more electors must sign the Elector Response Form to prevent the Board from proceeding without the assent of the electors. DEADLINE: The Elector Response Form must be received by the undersigned before 4:30 p.m. on August 31, 2015.

Betty Jean Hankins 1931 - 2015 On Saturday, June 27, 2015, Betty passed away suddenly at the Dawson Creek and District Hospital, Dawson Creek, BC. Betty was born in Stettler, AB and was raised in the area. Soon after marriage, the family moved to West Arrow Park, BC. In 1967 they experimented with a three year stint on the Queen Charlotte Islands only to move back to the West Kootenays to resume farming in Edgewood and Burton before retiring to Dawson Creek, BC in 1992 where Betty resided until her passing. Betty was predeceased by her husband Robert (Bob) Charles Hankins in 2010. She is survived by her loving family: children Jim (Monica), Judy, Allan (Cheri); grandchildren Tabitha (Phillip), Madeline (Marvin), Joel, TK (Katrina), Adrianna and Alicia, great grandchildren Sam, Alison, Elsa, Adeline, and Scout. She will be missed beyond words by her loving family and many dear friends. A celebration of Betty’s life was held on Monday, July 20, 2015 at 4:00pm at Bergeron Funeral Chapel, Dawson Creek, BC. Expressions of sympathy in memory of Betty may be made by donation to the “Dawson Creek Hospital Foundation” 11100-13 Street, Dawson Creek, BC V1G 3W8 or the “Diabetes Association”, 103490 Quebec Street, Prince George, BC V2L 5N5.
