Police investigate after explosives found in mobile home JILLIAN TRAINOR Arrow Lakes News
Local RCMP evacuated two mobile homes in the Canyon Trailer Park early Monday morning after finding explosives while executing a search warrant. The search warrant was obtained as a result of an on-going investigation. Officers located what appeared to be dynamite and a blasting cap.
A Nakusp resident, Johann Blattnig, who is in his 30s, was arrested and held in custody pending a court appearance Wednesday. The BC RCMP explosives disposal unit arrived in Nakusp Monday evening and examined the items in the home. Officers removed the items and took them to be safely detonated. Residents were allowed back into their homes shortly before 8 p.m. “Nakusp RCMP would like to thank the area residents for their patience and cooperation throughout today’s incident,”
said Cpl. Jason Burndred. Mayor Karen Hamling was very pleased with the local RCMP and the work they did. “Good work on their part that they traced all that down before we had a devastating event in our community,” she said. Blattnig has been charged with one count of possession of explosives for an unlawful purpose, and is also facing several charges from a separate incident, including two counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, and possession of a prohibited weapon.

What were some of the highlights of the year for you? “One of the positive things that came out of 2015 was the ability to record the council meetings and the Mayor’s weekly report on our local radio station The Arrow 107.1 FM.” “The highlight of the year is working with the new council, and also being the chair of the regional district. That was my first year, and I really enjoyed the challenge of that. When you’re the chair, you’re a lot more aware of what’s out there, so you can bring that back for the benefit of the community.
What are your hopes for Nakusp in 2016? “We’re finally seeing the completion of the boat launch. They started at it in 2008 or 2009, and each year, it’s had to be delayed, so we’ll see the completion of it this year. I’m really excited about that.” “The other thing is it’s really important that we get the roof of the lobby and the arena replaced. It’s a huge thing that’s going to cost probably close to $400,000 to get the two parts done. We’ve had some really good news come down, and that’s Columbia Basin Trust is going to be putting some funding out there for the next two years for infrastructure. We will be applying for that and getting in on the first deadline, and hoping that we hit that, because it’s really important to get that arena roof done.” “It’s important we get that in a better place (financially). Council has been very concerned over the last few years, and we’ve only been raising taxes one to one and a half per cent, and we’ve been falling behind. We have to be able to have the money to provide the basic services. In order to do that, we’re going to have to look at a five per cent increase this year, and it will probably be the same next year and the year after, which will equate
Karen Hamling, mayor of Nakusp, smiles as she looks back on 2015. Hamling looks forward to what’s ahead in 2016. Jillian Trainor photo to a $40 increase to the average household.” “We really have to start getting our finances in place so we can start building our reserves. We had huge reserves, but we needed them for water and sewer so now we have to start building them again.” “The trails master plan — that will be a really big thing. It will mostly be Nakusp and area and the area director is going to be putting some funding into that and is quite happy that we’re working together on that.” As mayor of Nakusp, do you have any new year’s resolutions for 2016? “My goal is always to try to work with the community and support the community’s needs as best we can. We can’t always be everything to everyone and as much as you would like to be, I have that part of me that wants to make everyone happy, I can’t do it.”
Two new trustees for School District 10
RETIREMENT THEN
What has 2015 been like for you as mayor? “It’s been an interesting year. We have a new council. Even if you only have one member change at council, it becomes a whole new council, because now you have different comments, and different opinions. I’m quite pleased with the interaction that we’re having.” “In the spring that we sat down and did our four year plan, and it was nice to get perspective of everybody, and see where they felt the community needed to go. We review it once a year so we can adjust, but it gives us an area of focus and how to move forward.” “There was a bit of turmoil over the rail bed, hopefully that moves forward smoothly this year.” “Other than that, basically it’s been business as usual and trying to meet the needs of the community as best we can with the resources that we have.”
I found that was great.” “We got the funding for the pressure-reducing valve, and that’s going to make a big difference one the pipes. There was so much pressure, we were constantly repairing and replacing them, so that’s going to be a huge thing for us.”

Village of Nakusp to increase water and sewer rates JILLIAN TRAINOR Arrow Lakes News
Water and sewer rates going up In order to operate major infrastructure services like water and sewer, there needs to be sufficient reserves in place to fund future capitol investments or emergency repairs. This isn’t happening with Nakusp. From 2016 to 2020, the village is projecting a deficit of of $351,633 for sewer, and $562,928 for water. This isn’t feasible and as a result, the village has opted to increase water and sewer rates. The rates for each will increase by 10 per
cent in the next five years. Because of this increase, a surplus for both infrastructures is projected. For sewer, that surplus is estimated to be around $207,700. For water, the surplus is estimated to be $87,999. As an incentive to pay there will be a five per cent discount on rates if paid within 30 days. Staff are also recommending a 10 per cent penalty be levied on all utilities not paid by August 31. This will help alleviate the amount that is transferred to taxes at year end. In 2015, 10 per cent of the total utility charges levied were transferred
to taxes. Progress report from the Director of Recreations and Parks Terry Welsh, director of Recreations & Parks gave his progress report from Nov. 15, 2015 to Jan. 19, 2016. There was an operational issue with the arena’s condenser unit freezing up during the recent cold snap. Staff were able to fix the issue with the assistance of the village’s contract electrician. Recreations & Park staff have been maintaining the trails from the municipal campground and around the sports fields to province
outdoor walk for residents. This program has been well received. Collaboration with the Rotary Club’s waterfront lighting project committee was ongoing through the period. Project scheduling and work flow were the primary discussions. Preparation of the 2016 capital budget will be a priority over the next period for Recreation & Parks and the Nakusp Hot Springs. Preparation of a terms of reference for aproject steering committee will be completed and the development of a request for proposal for the Trail Master Plan will continue.
Referendum for Edgewood Legion and fire hall A referendum has been announced for Edgewood to allow two taxation services. One service would be for the fire department, and the other would be to help the Legion keep the community hall. “That tax would raise whatever amount they’re looking for,” said Paul Peterson. “In this case,
that’s $5,000 for the Legion, and $10,000 for the fire department.” Peterson said the two groups have no other source of income, so it’s fairly necessary, especially for the fire department. “Right now, they’re only working with a couple of fire caddies, not even a fire truck or a fire hall,” he said. “The
Legion has been subsidizing the community all these years, and they’re finding it hard to keep going without a little bit of a supplement from the community itself.” Peterson said both groups are a necessary part of the community. The fire department helps keep everyone a little safer, and the hall
is important for the community for a variety of uses, such as a meeting place, a place for dances, Christmas parties, and so on. The referendum will take place in June. No date has been set. There was no comment from the Edgewood Legion at the time of publication.
Residents asked to be careful after new phone scam discovered JILLIAN TRAINOR Arrow Lakes News
Stolen car parts found On Jan. 14, the Nakusp RCMP executed a search warrant for a stolen vehicle in the Canyon Court Trailer park. The vehicle contained stolen parts which were identified with the assistance of an Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC) special investigator. “We’ve been doing a lengthy property crime
investigation in respect to some of our local prolific offenders, and we stumbled upon this,” said Corporal Jason Burndred of the Nakusp RCMP. RCMP will be reccomending charges, but as of yesterday, these charges are pending. “We would at this point recommend charges of possession of property obtained by crime,” said Burndred. Phone scam alert RCMP would like to alert the public to a phone
scam which has been discovered. Fraudsters are able to change their phone numbers to already existing ones. The fraudsters impersonate police officers and explain the person is in trouble, they then ask for money to either pay an outstanding fine or warrant. “We haven’t experienced this one,” said Corporal Jason Burndred of the Nakusp RCMP. “We’ve experienced people identifying themselves as Revenue Canada, and we

had numerous calls on that earlier, about early fall.” The RCMP will never ask members of the public for any money. Outstanding fines are generally dealt with at your local ICBC or Municpal government building. “It’s not good, because they’re preying on the trust that people have with the police, and they’re using that for nefarious intents,” said Burndred. Any suspicious calls should be reported to the Nakusp RCMP.

CPR renamed Hallets Landing as Longbeach
GREG NESTEROFF Arrow Lakes News
One hundred and tenth in a semi-alphabetical series on West Kootenay/Boundary place names Longbeach, on Kootenay Lake’s West Arm, was formerly called 13 Mile and Halletts Landing. The latter name was after Commander Gordon Hallett (1878-1925), one of several British naval officers who settled there beginning in 1905. According to Kootenay Outlet Reflections, “Hallett developed a fine orchard. However he was recalled to duty during World War I. Seriously injured in naval action, he was thereafter in chronically poor health as he struggled to work his property. After his death his widow, Edith, managed the property successfully for many years.” Hallett’s ranch is first mentioned in the Nelson Daily News of May 9, 1906, while the earliest mention of his landing is in the Daily News of Sept. 3, 1913: “Mr. Green said that a floating wharf would shortly be put in at Halletts Landing.” Edith Winifred Smith wrote in 1962 that “Up to 1914 what is now known as Longbeach was known as 13 Mile, but when the first government wharf was built at Halletts Landing, they told us to choose a name [as] all private landings were to be given up.” The Daily News of Nov. 25, 1913 reported: “On Monday evening last there was a meeting of the local ranchers at the residence of the Stratton
brothers … It was decided a name must be found for the settlement (13 Mile) and three were at last decided on to be sent up to the CPR for their choice of one of them. The names selected were Longbeach, Cottonwood Point, and Connaught Bay.” The paper added on Feb. 25, 1914: “The name of Longbeach was the one chosen by the Canadian Pacific Railway for this settlement instead of 13 Mile and when the shed on the new government wharf is built the name will be painted upon it.” Winifred Smith in fact suggested the winning name. Her husband, Commodore Burrard A. Smith, was another British naval officer who settled there. Their son Eric, 97, lives in Nelson with Greta, his wife of 71 years. LABARTHE This stop on the Columbia and Western Railway west of Castlegar was originally known as Material Yard, and was first mentioned in the Nelson Tribune of March 27, 1900. Eventually the Canadian Pacific Railway came up with a less generic name, as reported by the Greenwood Ledge on Dec. 10, 1908: “The station heretofore known as Material Yard, being the second station west of Castlegar Junction, on the Boundary run, has been rechristened and will in future be called Labarthe. The new name was bestowed in honor of Jules Labarthe, manager of the Trail smelter.” Jules Labarthe (1874-1951) was born in Peoria,
Ill. and studied metallurgy and chemistry at the University of Utah. According to a 1925 profile in the Engineering and Mining Journal, he came to Trail in 1897 to work as an assayer and draftsman at the smelter, where he prepared plans for the lead blast furnace. He was promoted to assistant superintendent, then superintendent of the smelter and refinery, and finally in 1906 became general manager. He left in 1910 to take a similar position with Mason Valley Mines Co. in Nevada and later worked in Kellogg, Idaho, Chewelah, Wash., and Superior, Ariz. Some sources claim Labarthe was also a construction engineer on the railway that later used his name for a siding, but his biography didn’t mention it. LAFFERTY This is another stop on the Columbia and Western Railway, a few kilometers east of Christina Lake. According to Roger Burrows in Railway Mileposts Vol. II, it was “originally named Wade and renamed for a Rossland bank manager.” That would be Guy Alexander Lafferty (18791934), who in 1912 succeeded J.S.C. Fraser at manager of the Bank of Montreal in Rossland. He did a turn as president of the Winter Carnival and owned some mining claims prior to departing about 1920. How did his name get attached to a railway sid-
Jules Labarthe is seen in the Oct. 17, 1925 edition of Engineering and Mining Journal. Greg Nesteroff photo
ing? Lafferty’s father, Dr. James Delamare Lafferty (1849-1920), was the Canadian Pacific Railway’s chief western surgeon and mayor of Calgary in 1890-91. The name probably honoured the doctor more than his son. The name survives in Lafferty Pit Road. The earlier name might have been after CPR roadmaster Philip Wade (1865-1931), who came to Nelson from Ontario in 1902.
Seniors’ Column MARILYN BOXWELL Seniors’ column aquaconn@columbiacable.net
In response to a recent request I made to the office of the Seniors’ Advocate BC, I am now signed up to regularly receive a copy of various reports reflecting interests of seniors and all others who are concerned with associated issues. I intend to seek clarification of the role of both the appointed advocate herself, and
also the overall function of the official office, which I will be pleased to include in future copies of our own local seniors’ column, which as you are already aware, is published each week in the Arrow Lakes News. Isobel Mackenzie, appointed as the first seniors’ advocate for the Province of B.C. has over 20 years’ experience working with seniors in the areas of home care, licensed care, volunteer and community services. During her experiences she led BC’s largest not-for — profit agency, serving over 6,000 seniors throughout the province each year. In this work,
she has led the implementation of a new model of dementia care, which is noted to be a national best practice. She has led the first safety accreditation for homecare workers amongst many other accomplishments, which include being widely recognized as the provincial CEO of the Year for the not-for-profit sector and was nominated as a Provincial Health Care Hero. The Office of the Seniors Advocate was established by the provincial government as part of the Seniors’ Action Plan designed as a strategy to address the needs and issues of Nakusp and all
other growing parts of our beautiful province. The Seniors Advocate Act was passed in 2013 and in March of the following year, Isobel took office. The key functions include monitoring and analyzing of the provision of seniors’ services in the areas of health, personal services, housing, transportation and income supports. The office will monitor through data analysis, surveys, consultation and input stemming from seniors as well as their families. In addition, it will work in the best interests of seniors by identifying, analyzing as well as

Day on the Rail Trail This year the annual Day on the Trail will take place on the Slocan Valley Rail Trail on Sunday, Jan. 31 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. This year the crew from the trail society will set up at the Winlaw station and trailhead. This time around the group will be hosting a ski waxing demo (even the newest skis can benefit) as well as offering some lessons in ski techniques that are sure to improve your skiing enjoyment. If conditions allow, a track may be set up around the Winlaw school field for some fun races and games. Everyone is invited to come out and take in a selfdirected ski on the scenic rail trail. Before and after your ski, there’ll be a bonfire as well as refreshments being offered by trail supporters from Winlaw school. It’ll be a great time to catch up on what’s been happening on the rail trail and check out the new snowmobile and groomer purchased last year with a major infusion of support by the Heritage Credit Union. The Winlaw trailhead can be reached from Highway 6 in the Slocan Valley. Watch for the large directional signs on the highway.
RDCK offers wood stove exchange rebates
Pitch your old wood stove in the dump and get a new one through the Regional District of Central Kootenay’s wood stove exchange orogram. Any pre-1994, uncertified wood stoves still in active use qualify for the program, which the RDCK has collaborated on with other local municipalities since 2009. Sixty-six rebates each valued at $350 are avail-
able on a first-come, firstserve basis. Residents must replace the wood stove with a new, locally purchased EPA or CSA-certified wood stove, gas stove, pellet stove or insert. The old stove, meanwhile, needs to be dismantled and brought to a local landfill or transfer station for disposal. For a copy of the rebate application, visit rdck.ca.
DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Pest Management Plan: BC Hydro Facilities 2016-2021
The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the Pest Management Plan (PMP) applies. The purpose of the proposed PMP is to control vegetation at BC Hydro facilities to maintain safe and reliable operations which support the delivery of electricity to our customers. This plan applies to all areas of British Columbia where BC Hydro has operational or planned facilities such as electrical substations, generation switchyards, generating sites, communication sites, storage sites, administrative buildings, or land owned or leased for future facilities. The proposed duration of the PMP is from April 2016 to April 2021. Vegetation incompatible with the operation of the power system will be controlled using: physical (manual brushing, girdling, hand-pulling, hedge trimming, mowing, pruning, weed trimming or tree removal), cultural (gravel/hard surfacing, planting ground cover), biological (release of parasitic insects to control noxious and invasive plants) or chemical (herbicide application) techniques, or any combination of these methods. The active ingredients and trade names of the herbicides proposed for use under this plan include: ○ acetic acid – Ecoclear, Munger’s Hort Vinegar or equivalent, ○ aminocyclopyrachlor and chlorsulfuron – Truvist or equivalent ○ ○ ○ ○
aminocyclopyrachlor and metsulfuron-methyl – Navius or equivalent aminopyralid – Milestone or equivalent aminopyralid and metsulfuron-methyl – ClearView or equivalent aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl, and fluroxypyr – Sightline or equivalent
○ aminopyralid, metsulfuron-methyl and triclopyr – Clearview Brush or equivalent ○ Chlorsulfuron – Telar or equivalent ○ Chondrostereum purpureum – Chontrol or equivalent ○ clopyralid – Lontrel, Transline or equivalent or equivalent ○ dicamba – Vanquish, Banvel or equivalent ○ dichlorprop-P and 2,4-D – Estaprop XT or equivalent ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○
diflufenzopyr and dicamba – Distinct, Overdrive or equivalent diuron – Karmex, Diurex 80 WDG or equivalent flumioxazin – Payload or equivalent glyphosate – Vantage, Vision or equivalent imazapyr – Arsenal Powerline or equivalent indaziflam – Esplanade or equivalent metsulfuron-methyl – Escort or equivalent picloram – Tordon 22k, Tordon 101 or equivalent picloram and 2,4-D – Aspect or equivalent triclopyr – Garlon products or equivalent Trifluralin – BioBarriere, Treflan or equivalent 2,4-D – LV700 or equivalent
Take your first step to the international stage!
Adjuvant products may also be combined on occasion with a herbicide to improve its effectiveness, such as: nonylphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol – Agral 90, paraffinic oils – Gateway, octadec-9-enoic acid as methyl and ethyl esters – Hasten NT, or siloxylated polyether – Xiameter or equivalents.

or fixed boom sprayer), cut surface, basal bark, backpack foliar, mechanized foliar (fixed nozzle, boom directed nozzle, wick sprayer), and injection (hack and squirt, lance or syringe) techniques. A draft copy of the proposed PMP is available at bchydro.com/pestplanforfacilities. Alternatively, it is available in person at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby; 1401 Kalamalka Lake Road, Vernon; 18475 128 Street, Surrey; 400 Madsen Road, Nanaimo; 3333 22 Avenue, Prince George. BC Hydro, the applicant for the proposed PMP, is located at 6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby, B.C., V3N 4X8. Please contact Tom Wells, Vegetation Program Manager, at 604 516 8943 or thomas.wells@bchydro.com for more information. A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the above address within 30 days of the publication notice.

Living in the mountains, some of the major winter activities include skiing, snowboarding, and snowmobiling. While these activities are fun, there is a danger involved that sometimes doesn’t immediately come to mind: avalanches. With that in mind, Selkirk College hosted an avalanche awareness meeting on Jan. 21 to help inform locals on how to spot any potential warning signs, and what to do if you’re ever caught in an avalanche. “Nakusp is right in the Monashee Mountains, and surrounded by big avalanche terrain,” said Jeremy Hanke, a member of the Canadian Avalanche Association (CAA). “It’s a small community that utilizes the backwoods quite a bit. They’re already very cautious and aware of the avalanche problem.” One thing Hanke stressed the importance of was making a plan before heading out, either on your own, or with a group of people. Know the weather and avalanche forecast, look at the terrain selection, find out what the weather was like in the area a few days before hand, and always have a plan B. Information on what kind of gear to carry was also provided. Avalanche probes are a necessity, and the longer
and thicker they are, the better. It should be three metres long at the very least. Shovels are also an important piece of equipment. It should have a strong blade, handle, and neck. A hatchet feature is good to have. Those who attended were happy Hanke was able to provide some very useful information. “It’s not the first time we’ve done this course,” said Mark Aeichele, vice president of the Arrow Lakes Ridge Riders. “It’s a good one, just to make sure people come out here and gain some knowledge from it, and be safe in the back country.” Chris Prediger, president of the Ridge Riders agrees. Prediger was involved in an avalanche about ten years ago. “I was climbing the hill, and the snow started to ripple. I tried to turn out, and it just ran right over top of me.” He was buried pretty shallow, and his friends were near, so he was able to get out right away, but he stresses the fact that people need to be aware of themselves and their surroundings when out in the mountains. “Anybody that uses the back country should be aware of the dangers,” he said. “We ride fairly aggressive, and like he said, you should know your different aspects and different slopes, and how to read the ground as to the avalanche severity where you’re riding.”
