Arrow Lakes News, February 26, 2015

Three new medals have been added to local Alpine skier Jo Blackman’s trophy wall. The Special Olympics athlete has just returned home from Special Olympics

provincial competition at Sun Peaks outside of Kam-loops with a silver and two bronze medallions. His week-end away with coach Eric Waterfield was both eventful and fruitful.

Being the only area athlete, Blackman joined nine oth-ers from the Kootenays (Region 1) including represen-

tatives from Cranbrook, Trail and Invermere. Together the group brought home 27 medals combined. Blackman won silver for Alpine Intermediate Super Giant Slalom, and bronze in Intermediate Giant Slalom and Slalom.

Fauquier golf course loses two holes to mudslide

The golf course located next to the ferry landing in Fauquier has fallen victim to the early mild weather causing a large sec-tion to fall into the lake. Holes three and four were right along the waterline but erosion has occurred at a pace nobody could predict.

This parcel of land had belonged to BC Hydro and sold to the golf course in 1997 for a dollar upon the club’s request after a 30-year lease had ended. According to Jen Walker-Larsen, Stakeholder Engage-ment Advisor and community relations with BC Hydro, “Erosion at this site is a well-known issue that’s been happening for decades. The purchase agreement itself explained the land was unstable and that

any erosion would need to be managed by the club. The club was well aware of the risks and was prepared to manage them moving forward. They have a geotechni-cal engineer who is very familiar with the property who can assess the situation and determine what they can do to fix the is-sue.”

Walker-Larsen states that BC Hydro has been very supportive of the Golf Club over the years.

“In addition to selling the property to the Club for $1 in 1997, we also donated the former school building at the site for use as a clubhouse and have contributed more than $50,000 over the years to complement local individual donations of time, equipment and a good deal of volunteer effort to make improvements at this site.”

Gerry Gairns, Fauquier Golf Club Pres-

ident who is currently away, responded to the Arrow Lakes News by email

“Yes, we have had a fairly significant slide at the course due to a warm wet winter and the extremely low lake levels. However, we do plan to open the course in April although we may not have number 3 and 4 holes available at that time.”

BC Hydro has not been contacted by the golf club directly and they have only received reports from third parties. They are reaching out to the golf club to get more information and ensure the proper procedure is being followed.

“We understand from members of the community that there has again been some erosion at the Fauquier Golf Course. This property is owned by the golf club and we understand they are managing the issue,” Walker-Larsen said.

Thieves are targeting unlocked vehicles in Nakusp

Nakusp RCMP re-ceived multiple reports of thefts from vehicles that occurred overnight on Feb. 11. The targets were several unlocked vehi-cles throughout Nakusp. Thieves stole multiple items, including loose change, clothing, tools, and electronic equip-ment.

It was further deter-

mined that the culprits had located keys in one of the unlocked vehicles and stole the vehicle on a suspected joyride.

One local adult male and two local youths suspected of being re-sponsible for the series of thefts have been iden-tified through investiga-tion by local police. To date, over ten victims have come forward to report that their vehicle had been targeted. Police

are continuing to inves-tigate and still have some unclaimed recovered items. If anyone has had items stolen from their vehicle, please contact the Nakusp RCMP. Police would also like to inform residents that all the tar-geted vehicles were left unlocked with valuables inside and in plain view.

Police will be recom-mending multiple charg-es of theft under $5000 and possession of stolen

property under $5000 as well as one charge of theft over $5000 and posses-sion of stolen property over $5000 for the series of offences.

The Nakusp RCMP would like to thank members of the public for their assistance in recovering some of the stolen property. As well, police would like to re-mind residents to remove valuables and lock their vehicles.

Mudslide closes Highway 6 west of Needles

Mild temperatures at this time of year have begun to wreak havoc on local roads. � e section of Highway 6 one kilo-metre from the Needles ferry landing was been closed a� er a mudslide on Feb. 18 e� ectively cutting the town of Edgewood o� from services in Nakusp.

“We were hearing rumblings from some of the drivers start-ing yesterday — people said they were � ying over it (the uneven section of the road) and getting air,” said Tasha Hall, who works just a few minutes from the site.

According to Hall, drivers can still get on the ferry in either direction. � ey are alternating single lane tra� c on the logging road that parallels the highway, but even that could be a hazard.

“You can see the sloughing away along the logging road. � e guys said they are hoping to keep the logging road open for now,” Hall said. She estimates about bout 10 crew members are on site assessing the damage and directing tra� c.

“� e damage is extensive, the water is running under the road. � at much damage happened in

the last 10 hours and the road is just broken.”

A crack had formed across the two-lane highway cutting it in two, and one of the sections had begun to sink. In addition, cracks of 200 feet in length were developing in each lane.

“We are changing the detour road tomorrow,” said Bart Che-nuz, Area Manager for Roads with the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure. � ey will be shortening the distance and straightening out corners so that commercial vehicles will be

able to travel on it. “� e slough is moving be-

low at three feet per day...need to wait till it settles/or falls into river. Water (is) coming out of the ground below the road forming a creek. Mother Nature is winning right now,” Chenuz said.

Five days later, tra� c is still being diverted to the logging road for about a two-minute stretch and many drivers have reported it’s a little muddy but it’s an acceptable � x for the time being.

Local woman survived early morning crash

Setting out for a routine drive to the Okanagan for a medical appointment on Feb. 16, Suzie Petterson’s vehicle hit a patch of black ice causing it to crash. She was � own by air ambulance to Kamloops where Petterson is being treated for severe injuries that could take months to recover from.

“I was able to recover from the � rst patch of black ice but then I hit another which caused the car to start spinning. I hit the ditch, took out lots of trees, hit a telephone pole hard, and

spun around that when the ve-hicle � nally came to a stop upside down,” she explained from her hospital bed at the Royal Inland Hospital.

� e vehicle Petterson was driving careened approximately 50 feet down an embankment, up which she made her way to wait for someone to pass by. Twenty minutes later, Dave Weatherhead did. He was � rst on scene but Petterson had a list of people who came to her rescue — Judy from J&S Snacks, some BC Hydro guys and another lady from Edge-wood whose name Petterson didn’t know.

Petterson is in the ICU Ka-

mloops with six broken ribs, a bleeding spleen, two broken vertebrae and a torn vein in her neck. She feels lucky to be alive.

Petterson was treated for a head laceration at the Arrow Lakes Hospital and then trans-ferred to Kamloops because they couldn’t land in Kelowna. Search and rescue and an ambulance were dispatched to collect Petter-son and the car. She will be there inde� nitely. Petterson has two children in school and a husband who works and goes to school too. Her family and friends are o� ering support by visiting her in hospital and preparing food for the family while she is gone.

According to Federal government statisticians, more than 30 million Canadians donate two billion hours of their time annually aimed at helping improve the quality of life of our citi-zens and their various communities situated across the nation.

In the past year, 190 volunteers and 72 community organizations within the southern interior helped over 10,000 people prepare and file their income tax returns.

Volunteers located throughout var-ious parts of the Nakusp region con-tinue to do their part as well.

Included are those who have un-dertaken the mandatory training re-ferred to as the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program (CVITP), oper-ating under the auspices of the Cana-da Revenue Agency (CRA).

Individuals of all ages living on a low to moderate income are offered free and confidential assistance in making sure their simple and straight-forward income tax return forms are properly completed and digitally filed with CRA by the April 30 deadline.

Many of us, and particularly older citizens, may not be aware that the returns are required to be filed with CRA in order that benefits which we

are eligible to receive, are credited to us without interruption. Note how-ever, these benefits and services do not automatically arrive — they must be applied for. The filing of the com-pleted income tax return is part of the process.

Examples of benefits include the GST/harmonized sales tax credit, the guaranteed income supplement and several others according to one’s age, personal or financial circumstances and eligibility.

Anyone wishing to receive free as-sistance through the program may contact me (the local volunteer coor-dinator) for referral to a trained and qualified member of the local CVITP team, at 265-0075 or email at [email protected]

Mudslides, power outages, ski races can-celled, heliskiers grounded, T-shirt weather in February and a couple of record-breaking dumps of snow that nearly shut everything down can sum up this year’s wacky winter weather.

Spring is just about upon us if we listen to the groundhog from Ontario, Wiarton Wil-lie, who did not see his shadow on February 2 but if we go a little further east to Nova Scotia, Shubenacadie Sam said there will be another six weeks of winter. So which is it?

After the last few months we’ve had in Na-kusp, we’re ready for the sun and the warm temperatures it brings, especially if it means that we can put this winter behind us. Punc-tuated by several massive storms wreaking havoc on snow removal, driving, school bus services, and power lines, the winter was relatively mild, temperature-wise, com-pared to recent years. The mild temps in January and February caused cancellations at the ski hill and heliski tourism to come to a complete halt for a period of time but the uncharacteristically savage amounts of snow all at once left many people struggling just to get out of their driveways.

And now we’ve got the mud slides. Dam-age to Highway 6 could take weeks to repair, causing our trips to the Okanagan to be de-toured through a dirt road of questionable capacity. Parts of the trails around the vil-lage are washing away. The third and fourth holes at the Fauquier golf course have slid into the lake.

Perhaps on the bright side, we can open our sun roofs and the village patios will be open sooner for lunch or a brew. If there’s any luck, we can all save a little money on home heating costs when the temperatures warm up sooner than usual. Whether you want to blame global warming or cyclical weather patterns, the Farmer’s Almanac is predicting a cool, wet spring, a typically seasonal summer and a cool, dry fall.

Council HighlightsCAO report

� e Nakusp Hot Springs will be closed from March 13-19 for seasonal maintenance, including some roo� ng work on the main building and chalets. � e aim is to create minimal impact on the chalets and do them one at a time so that they can still be used for accommodation if there is a need.

Waterfront Lighting Project� e Rotary Club of Nakusp

was set to proceed with the wa-terfront lighting project when they hit a major snag — there is

no power along the waterfront to tie into as a source for additional lighting. Because the village will be taking on maintenance and costs a� er the work is complete, CAO Tynan said, “It is imperative to do this right.” A lot of things hadn’t been considered when the proposal was made so there will be some additional requirements placed on the authorization to proceed.

AKBLG� e Association of Kootenay

and Boundary Local Govern-ments Annual General Meeting is being held in Nakusp this year in April. Preparations are in full

swing. “We’re quite full-on with

the planning, and registrations opened today,” CAO Linda Tynan said. � ey are up to $60,000 in sponsorships and are still seeking additional funding.

Budget and Strategic Plan-ning Meetings

Dates are set for both open and closed meetings for the bud-get and strategic planning. Any-one wanting to attend budgetary meetings for the village may do so on March 11 and 12 at 6:30 p.m. at the village o� ce board-room on the upper level (access through back door).


February 27, 1925 Nakusp persists in

growing. This week the main street was the scene of great ac-tivity in the vicinity of the garage, when a building was moved over and put in shape for a shop to be occu-pied by a cleaning and pressing establish-ment. It is also in a position to take mea-surements for made-to-measure clothing.

February 28, 1935 It has been many

years since the New-market Hotel in New Denver has been the scene of such a gala af-fair as occurred Friday night. � e occasion for this gathering was the 38th anniversary of the New Denver Lodge Knights of Pythias, the 71st anniversary of the order, and the presen-tation of the 25-year

jewels to several broth-ers. J.Draper proposed a toast to the lodge and noted the starting of the B.C. Music Fes-tival by the order, and its success over several years. A. Jacobson, W. Je� ery, Dan Tattrie, J.Tier, and H.F.Nelson, received their 25-year jewels.

March 11, 1945 Five of the best fe-

male mink were sto-len from Emil Han-sen’s mink farm at Brouse last Wednes-day. Foot tracks and a few drops of blood were all that was found as evidence. The pelts at this time of year would be use-less so whoever stole the animals likely wanted them for breeding purposes.

March 3, 1955 Many of the resi-

dents of East Arrow Park wharf arrived Friday morning to welcome the “Arrow Park,” which will ply the lakes between Beaton and Castle-gar, replacing the ser-vice rendered by the faithful “S.S.Minto” which made her last trip ten months ago. Residents watched the “Arrow Park” round the bend, approach and slowly make her first landing. Many then boarded her and inspected her from stern to stern. Sitting in the com-fortable lounge for a short trip, they enjoyed the scenery from the spacious picture windows. It is rather a different type of boat than those to which all are accustomed, so the first trips will be most exciting.

March 4, 1965 The owner-electors

of the six West Koo-tenay school districts voted in favor of es-tablishing a regional college in Castlegar. 72.5 per cent voted in favour of the referen-dum.

March 5, 1975 There were 20

rinks entered in the Mixed Curling Bon-spiel in Nakusp on the weekend. “A” event winners were the Webb Rink with Renata and Helmut Stachowski and Brenda Mayson. “B” event winner was the Wally Mohn rink with Betty Agnew, Tom Agnew and Adele Mohn. “C” event winner was the Ray Street Rink with Gertie Street, Peter Ewart and Norma Hascarl.

Nordic Ski Club celebrates winter seasonValhalla Hills Nordic Ski Club had its

most successful year to date according to the board of the newly renamed club based in Hills. The name change occurred at the AGM last November and since then, the club hasn’t looked back.

“We wanted a name that would identify us with our proximity to the mountains, home to viking gods and that would be exciting to hear when announced at races as our skiers cross the finish line or accept medals during awards ceremonies,” ex-plained Kip Drobish , coach and club pres-ident. “We have a bigger reach than just the community of Hills and we want to be inclusive.”

One huge success has been the long planned-for purchase of a new Ski-doo Skandic snowmobile to compliment the professional grooming equipment it ac-quired two seasons ago. This became a reality in January thanks to the invaluable support from the Hills Recreation Society

and RDCK Slocan Valley Commission #6, along with successful grant applications (Kootenay Savings Community Founda-tion and CBT) and over $1000 from com-munity donations.

The club grooms two training circuits in Hills for the youth program and also a sec-tion of the rail trail in Hills from the Caden Creek Chasm to Red House, a six kilome-tre section.

“It is great that so many people, both locals and people from as far afield as Nel-son are regularly using the rail trail for cross-county skiing,“ said board member Tim Sander. “And the Skandic makes this all possible without inducing any more back injuries for the board members who do the grooming!”

Club membership is up to over 50, not including others that just show their support with a small contribution. Their Jackrabbit (youth) program now has 24 participants. The Jackrabbits are practic-

ing twice a week led by qualified coaches. Several of the “Racing Rabbits” have par-ticipated in up to 11 races so far this win-ter. Kolibri Drobish has consistently placed well with a second place finish at the BC Cup in Revelstoke Jan. 24 and her Teck BC Champs results will be made known about the time this goes to print. Other racers in-clude Lukas Piggot , Cynthia Piggot, Elias Piggot, Ayla Kipkie, Raya Kipkie, and Jay Tremaine. Nearly all the members of the Jackrabbit program will be skiing the Black Jack Loppet on Feb. 28 near Rossland.

The season’s end will be celebrated in style on March 7 in Hills at the club’s annu-al snow party — fun ski games, races, BBQ, edible medals and a prize draw for donors to the snowmobile fundraiser. New mem-bers are still welcome. The donation drive ends at the party. All donations help fund our trail grooming and other programs. For more information, go to www.hillsnor-dic.wordpress.com.

Blackman brings home three medals from Special Olympics• Continued from page 1

Waterfield com-mented on the open-ing ceremonies, “It was a great time. We were out in front being the skiers, behind the B.C. Lions Quarterback; the RCMP dressed in their red coats, First Nations Drummers, a youth cheerleader squad and eventually the whole place was dancing. It was just in-credible.” As a coach, he never expected to be so moved to be a

part of it.While Blackman is

hoping to be select-ed from a number of qualified competitors in the province for a chance at Nationals in Newfoundland next winter, Waterfield will be working on getting qualified as a National Coach because cur-rently he is certified only at the provin-cial level. With any luck they will travel cross-country togeth-er next season to rep-resent BC together.

School of BusinessNSS girls headed to provincials

� e Nakusp Secondary School girls team won both games in the tournament on Saturday which sends them straight through to provincials where they will be vying for the coveted title of number one in B.C.

� e girls won their � rst game of the day against Bound-ary Central Secondary School (BCSS) with a score of 39 to 28, placing them in the champion-ship game against Fernie later that day. � ey won that game with a score of 60-43.

“It’s never easy to play at home with the pressure of the playo� s, with the parents in the gym,” Coach Jay Gardner said, refer-ring to the full bleachers on the

sidelines. “� ey worked hard — they are a great team, a very cohesive group. � ey work to-gether and have great comradery on the basketball court and o� .”

� e coach said the aggres-sive defense kept the girls in the game and allowed them to come out ahead, making the run that they needed to � nish the BCSS team o� . He added that Grade 10 player Renee Goodman was key in the success of their � rst game of the day.

“She keeps us very even keeled, very steady. We’re lucky to have her.”

Gardner had a lot of praise for his team and their families for a successful season so far. � ey just came back from a tourna-ment in Castlegar where they played against Castlegar, Trail and Nelson. Gardner had suf-

fered a personal loss and could not attend with them but they went anyway with some of the parents and made him proud.

“I coach because of my ath-letes. I really enjoy working with them and watching them de-velop their love for the game — their competitive spirit. Sports don’t lie — you are who you are. � e nice thing about that is you can try to get better. � at’s what we do. We try to get better day by day.”

Zone games were happening all over the province with hope-fuls vying to become one of the 16 teams to qualify for the pro-vincial championship games being held this year in Lumby March 4-7. The NSS Cougars boys team heads to Fernie Fri-day for their chance at zone playoffs.

Written and directed by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, Miss Representation exposes how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in America.

There will be a local screening of Miss Representa-tion on March 8 at the Bonnington Arts Centre at 7 p.m., doors open at 6:30 p.m. This film is free for any-one wishing to attend and is being shown in recognition of International Women’s Day. There will be a delightful array of snacks, desserts and beverages provided at no cost. After the screening, there will be community/panel discussion led by Carlee Hughes and Debbie Pitaoulis.

Miss Representation includes stories from teenage girls and provocative interviews with politicians, jour-nalists, entertainers, activists, and academics like Lisa Ling, Nancy Pelosi, Condoleezza Rice, Katie Couric, Rachel Maddow, Rosario Dawson, Jackson Katz, Jean Kilbourne, and Gloria Steinem. The film offers startling facts and statistics to leave audiences shaken and armed with a new perspective.

“I made Miss Representation because we live in a so-ciety where media is the most persuasive force shaping cultural norms, and the collective message the media sends to our young women and men is that a woman’s value lies in her youth, beauty, and sexuality, and not in her capacity as a leader,” Newsom said. “I wanted to shed a light on this problem because if we don’t ques-tion that thinking and work to change it, we are going to continue to be marginalized.”

In response to overwhelming public demand for ongoing education and social action in support of the film’s message, Newsom founded the organization that has become The Representation Project in April 2011. Using film as a catalyst for cultural transformation, The Representation Project inspires individuals and com-munities to challenge and overcome limiting gender stereotypes so that everyone, regardless of gender, race, class, age, sexual orientation or circumstance can fulfill their potential. Take the pledge and join The Represen-tation Project’s movement at www.therepresentation-project.org.

K2 Chef nabs top spot

Canadian Mountain Holidays’ Chef Paul Moran won his first cooking competition 14 years ago at the age of 14 with a stuffed tomato dish. He devel-oped an early interest in cuisine at school and with some mater-nal influence.

“My mom helped me out a lot,” he said in an interview with the Arrow Lakes News. Moran is origi-nally from Kelowna but works seasonally in Nakusp.

Moran is currently employed at the K2 Rotor Lodge as the Ski Chef, preparing sump-tuous gourmet menus for the international heli-ski set. Enter-ing cooking compe-titions about once a year based on the time commitment, Moran has a long list of win-ning titles and has worked around the world. This year he happened upon the S.Pellegrino Young Chef 2015 while browsing social me-dia. This competition divides the globe into 20 areas and Moran has just returned from Toronto where he nabbed the top honours for Canada and the chance to compete on the glob-al playing field. He’s been selected from 10 Canadian chefs as the winner and earned the chance to com-pete for the world ti-

tle in Milan from June 25-27.

His goal is to one day own “a couples’ getaway” boutique hotel with his fiancee, Stephanie Noel, also a chef. They are getting married in March, af-ter which Moran will begin campaigning for his win. He has a series of dinners planned in Toronto, Kelowna and Vancouver. Some of these will act as fun-draisers to help him with the expense of competing.

“The competition pays for about half of my expenses. The rest is up to me,” said Mo-ran.

A total of 20 chefs from around the world will compete in Italy in June for the S. Pel-legrino Talent Awards. The judging is on the finished dinner entree only, giving the chefs total freedom and control to produce whatever entree they wish.

“That is something unique to this com-petition,” Moran said. “A lot of them judge on kitchen skills among other things, but this one is just based on the finished product.”

An international jury of seven chefs, in-cluding Gaston Acu-rio, Yannick Alleno, Massimo Bottura, Margot Janse, Yoshiro Narisawa, Eric Ripert and Joan Roca will select the ultimate S. Pellegrino Young Chef 2015.

Grammy winner to play at United Church

Grammy award nominee Pablo Diemecke is coming to Nakusp for a concert this week-end to be held at the Robert-son Memorial United Church. Diemecke won the Grammy Award for the Carlos Chavez Violin Concerto, under “Best Classical Album” in 2002 and was nominated for the Proko-fiev Violin Concerto No. 1 in 1994. He is the head of a four-some called the Diemahler String Quartet.

After 20 years of service as

concertmaster of the Victoria Symphony, Diemecke teams up with esteemed musicians Larry Skaggs, Liz Massi and violinist Martine DenBok, from Silver-ton.

Having studied with the Lafayette String Quartet in Victoria, B.C., DenBok cur-rently teaches violin and viola throughout the Kootenays, plays with the Okanagan Sym-phony Orchestra, and lives in Silverton.

The group has been described as “passionate and amazing” by local music instructor Nancy Bertoia. The concert begins at

7:00 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets are $15, available at the door.
