For only the second time since the begin-ning of the Summit Lake Races more than 20 years ago, the races were cancelled due to weather conditions. � e recent rain and mild weather has degraded the snow surface so much that it was impossible to even hold a practice on Sunday.

It was a disappointment for the organizers

and the kids set to participate.“� e club has been running thanks to the

support of all the local volunteers. So many people support the club. It requires a ton of vol-unteers. It’s mind boggling how many people are giving up weekends for the entire winter to make it happen,” Troy Clark said.

� ere are seven volunteer coaches, the board, and 20-30 volunteers to run the race. People are needed as gatekeepers and timers, recorders for race results and coordinating

times.“� e next several weekends weren’t good

because of con� icts but we’d like to try to make this up on the weekend of March 8,” Clark added.

“We focus on fun and building con� dence. We all race as a team — it’s just about participa-tion. We want to make sure that the kids are having a good time as they are learning some skills,” explained Clark.

� e Summit Lake Racers are made up of two

groups. � e younger children are part of the Nancy Greene Racing Program and compete against racers from other hills at races through-out the season. Older children belong to the High School Racers and include ski and snow-board teams who train for the High School Provincials in March. � e Nancy Greene Race Program starts at age four, and participants just need to be able to get on the li� independently and get their skis on by themselves. More infor-mation is available at www.skisummitlake.com.

Doors are locked and cell phones off limits at elementary school

� e parents of Nakusp Elemen-tary School students have been ad-vised that the school is going back to locking all the doors apart from the main entrance closest to the playground.

“It’s been a policy for awhile, but we got a little bit slack on it,” explains principal, Susan Paterson.

“It will be a change for sta� and

parents, but we can make this work. We just want to keep our little ones safe. � is way, we can have a good look at the people coming into the building and ask them to sign in.”

Cell phones are another issue. While they are a great tool for com-municating with parents, there are dangers to having technology like this in the hands of babes.

“Digital citizenship is a skill that everyone has to have. Every-one on sta� has one too. We get it, but we want to do this in the best

way possible. And that is still be-ing discussed,” Paterson said, add-ing, “We’re working on what the students’ rights and responsibilities will be and we are also concerned about the high value of these items.”

� ey have ordered locks to equip the lockers and will be discussing the concerns with the Parents Ad-visory Council (PAC) before an-nouncing any changes. So for now, the school is asking students to leave their technological devices at home.

Safety top priority at school

� e board of Protecting Ani-mal Life Society (PALS) held their AGM last Wednesday, electing their board and creat-ing the animal report for 2014. Elected were chair Susan Rog-ers, vice chair Linda Kendall, Secretary Kathy Smith, treasurer Linda Kendall, and directors at large Bev McClinchey, Florence Bargery and Michelle Dieterman.

As of the 2014 year end ani-

mal report, PALS assisted a total of 127 animals. � ose who went into foster totalled approximate-ly 75 cats, one dog, one mule, and a donkey. All surrendered animals received their veteri-nary exams, any necessary vac-cinations and spay/neuter, and most have also gone on to � nd homes.

PALS sponsors a low income spay/neuter program in con-junction with the Nakusp Vet Clinic and in 2014 assisted with 29 of these surgeries, the break-

down of which was 13 cats, 15 dogs, and one rabbit. � e lost and found registry was used for nine cats and four dogs.

PALS relies on ongoing fun-draising and will be the recipi-ent of proceeds from the Legion meat draws every Saturday in March. Spring will bring the an-nual plant sale held the Saturday before Mother’s Day. All plant donations are gratefully accept-ed. For more information or to donate plants to PALS, please contact 250-265-3792.

February 15, 1925 Miss Grace Freeman

of Nakusp gave some excellent jumps in ex-hibition at Revelstoke ski jumping events. Her jumps were sec-ond only to those per-formed by Miss Isabell Coursier of UBC, who is the champion wom-an ski-jumper of the world.

February 14, 1935Residents of Nee-

dles have had the � rst steamer service this week since the clog-ging of the Arrow Lakes Narrows with ice in mid-January. Until Monday, the steam-er Columbia, which makes two round trips a week over the Lower Arrow Lake, had only been able to go as far north as Edgewood, at which point supplies and mail for Needles were unloaded for de-livery by truck. How-

ever, the recent thaw has opened the water to make the scheduled route possible.

February 16, 1945 Canada’s generos-

ity to the ragged and ill-clothed people of Europe has brought her to the verge of cloth-ing rationing. So many shipments have gone overseas from the numerous agencies that the Prices Board has been directed by the government to bring order to the overseas relief chaos. The Board has issued an order prohibit-ing public appeals for the donation of any goods for dispatch to any other country, un-less a special permit is obtained through the National War Services Department. Dona-tions and shipments to the Canadian Armed Forces and the Cana-

dian Merchant Marine are exempt from the new regulation.

February 16, 1955A capacity crowd

attended the open-ing ceremonies of the new A.L. � eatre on Tuesday evening. Er-ling Johnson, presi-dent of the Chamber of Commerce, ex-pressed appreciation from the businessmen of Nakusp to Mr. W.J. Brotherton on the � ne contribution he had made to the communi-ty with the building of the new theatre. � ere is now seating for 250 and a new Cinemacope screen and new projec-tin equipment to pro-vide excellent viewing. Executive Suite was the picture chosen for the opening.

February 18, 1965 On January 15, a

retirement dinner was

held at the Leland Ho-tel in honour of Cap-tain Allan Ke� er, who retired from Celgar Nov. 30. Capt. Ke� er’s service dates to 1918 when he started work-ing for W. Walkdie. & Sons. � e company was taken over by Celgar in 1952.

February 16, 2005Arrow Lakes loses media matriarch. By all

accounts the historical record of the Arrow Lakes would not be so readily available to us today if not for the e� orts and dedication of Marjorie Stanley.

Marjorie was born June 25, 1906 at Tregar-va, Sask., and was the second of seven children of Walter and Bessie White. � e White fam-ily moved to Nakusp in 1916, and a� er her schooling was complete, Marjorie stayed in Nakusp and worked as a telephone operator and o� ce clerk for L.J. Edwards in what is now the building housing Re-Awakening.

In 1928 she went to work at the Arrow Lakes News with Arthur B.S.Stanley where she served as a linotype operator and editor. In 1932, Art decided he couldn’t run the pa-per without her and on July 5,1932, the two

got married. � e two would spend almost 40 years chronicling the life and times of Nakusp and the Arrow Lakes. � e Stanley’s relation-ship would not only provide the couple with four children, but also establish the family as print media moguls throughout the region.

Over the years, the three Stanley boys-Alan, Ken and Denis- would grow up to be newspa-per men in their own rights, establishing the Kaslo Kootenian, the Slocan Record Enterprise, the Silver Standard and the Crowe’s Nest paper in Sparwood, and of course, the Arrow Lakes News.

Marjorie Stanley passed away Feb. 1, 2005 at the age of 98 but the rich historical legacy she passed on to future generations of Arrow Lakes residents established her place in his-tory as one of the Kootenay’s � rst media ma-triarchs.

Celebrating Family Day

for the second year

British Columbia has only been celebrating Family Day for two years following four other Canadian prov-inces. Alberta started the tradition in 1990 and B.C. tried in 1994 but it didn’t become official until 2013. So, on this, the second official Family Day the types of events going on through-out the province ranged from museum events to pony rides, free swimming and family ski deals.

Vancouverites were spoiled for choice from free admission to the YMCA or a pancake breakfast to fam-ily yoga. In Kelowna, families could choose from craft night, free skating, swimming and pony rides. In Nakusp, there was a Zumba class free to kids when their parents attended or the regular Monday event of bridge at the Seniors’ Centre. Organized activities have some room for improvement but there were probably lots of fami-lies doing things together in a casual fashion.

One of the nice things about the holiday is that it is on a Monday, cre-ating a long weekend for those who work Monday to Friday and allowing for a potential getaway. We hope that you got to spend some quality time unplugging and enjoying the compa-ny of those you love and if you didn’t there is always next year: February 8, 2016.

Our View

Seniors’ Column

Debbie Sharp, a representative of a proposed project which is designed for seniors residing within Nakusp and sur-rounding communities, contacted me recently.

“Nakusp and Area Better at Home — Rural and Remote Pilot Project” is an initiative intended to look at ways of best delivering various helping services to those aged 65 and over where there is a need.

Nakusp has been selected as one of � ve communities within our area, which has been identi� ed to participate (one of about 60 in B.C. so far), according to organizers. Funded by the B.C. Gov-ernment and managed by � e United

Way of the Lower Mainland, its overall purpose is to provide non-medical and simple support services to help older individuals live longer within their own homes while remaining connected to their community.

Communities who may wish to par-ticipate are selected by speaking with seniors themselves and also non-pro� t organizations, which serve seniors as well as others who are knowledgeable about their needs. One important con-sideration is the number of vulnerable older persons in the community who would bene� t.

In general, programs can receive funding for the � rst year of operation for start-up purposes, and for service delivery. Once established, the annual grant sum may change according to the numbers being served and the type of services delivered.

As to the cost to clients, service fees are established on an income-based slid-ing scale. � is ensures that services are

made available free of charge for low-income seniors and market rate for se-niors whose income is above the B.C. average.

“I would like us to sit down and really look at what would be best for the se-niors of the area,” said organizer Debbie Sharp. “� is is an opportunity to build on existing assets, strengthen partner-ships and enhance current capacities. It would be a wonderful achievement if we could look at creating something that will strengthen the community to be able to support seniors in the long run.”

� ose interested in learning more about the program and the eligibility criteria as well as service delivery stan-dards which are required, are invited to attend the � rst information meeting on Monday, Feb. l6.

Additional stakeholders meetings take place from Feb. 16-18.

For more information, including time and location of meetings, call Ken Liv-ingstone at 250-265-3241.

You can tell by the � oor of my grooming shop that spring is com-ing. But the unusual thing about this winter is that some dogs have really never stopped shedding all winter. What’s with that?

Coat growth and seasonal shedding is determined by genet-ics, hours of daylight, hormones and health. Shedding is caused by a changing over of coat in three cycles: growth, resting and shedding.

� e so-called non-shedding breeds, like poodles and Yorkies, are thought to have lon-ger growing and resting periods, changing over their guard hair only once per year.

Breeds like Labs and short-haired dogs have coats which have such a short growth and rest-ing period that they seem to shed all the time.

Other breeds have double-coats, which shed seasonally. � ese thick-coated dogs, like huskies and collies, usu-ally experience a coat loss period in spring and fall. Both guard hair and undercoat sheds profusely mak-ing room for a newer coat to grow and then rest. � e spring shed al-lows for a lighter sum-mer coat and the fall shed brings in a thicker, more protective coat for winter cold.

Some people think

the amount of coat that comes in for winter can predict how cold the winter is going to be. However, research sug-gests that it isn’t chang-ing weather that creates the coat-loss and growth cycle but changes in the circadian rhythm, the amount of daylight that we see with the change of seasons. Shorter days trigger shedding and the growth of a winter-ready coat. � ere is some thought that mel-atonin, the same hor-mone which is a� ected by lack of daylight in humans impacts coat cycles in animals.

I am not sure I am convinced it isn’t weath-er. � is winter, double-coated dogs have been

shedding right into Jan-uary and February and there is no denying that this has been a milder winter in spite of our heavy snow.

Another possibil-ity? Mild winters usually mean more cloud here in Nakusp. Lack of day-light caused by so much cloud-cover may be fur-ther confusing our dogs so that they are shedding even though they are supposed to “covering up in the cold.” � is is great news for dog groom-ers and vacuum-cleaner sales — those same dogs who have been shedding in preparation for winter will soon be starting to shed because spring is on the way, with not much of a break in between.

Double-coated dogs like Cloud, a Samoyed owned by Beth Dauk and Earl Paul of Nakusp, have been shedding profusely even though it is winter. Photo by Til Niquidet

Local brother and sister performSibling rivalry was rampant

on Saturday night as Shelley and Doug � ring performed an assortment of ballads and blues for an intimate crowd of about 40 people. Joking togeth-er at one another’s expense, the mood was light and casual. � e duo perform together as Every-thring.

Doug played guitar and sang solo to start the evening, with a few sombre blues tunes saying, “If this doesn’t bum you out, nothing will. It starts o� slow and then � zzles out altogether.” � e laughs continued through-out the evening.

� e elder sibling was later joined by younger sister Shelley, who teasingly said things like, “much younger sibling,” and “he was always bossy,” keeping the audience amused in be-

tween songs.� eir playlist included Van

Morrison, Bonnie Raitt, a Rolling Stones audience sing-along to Honky Tonk Woman and even a 1900s hymn called Wayfaring Stranger, which was a cover of the Eva Cassidy ver-sion. � e duo credited their mother, New Denverite Mar-guerite � ring, with teaching them to sing on drives up and down the highway, “before seat-belts.”

� is was the � rst perfor-mance in a new series that Rob Plaskett is hoping to start up un-der the umbrella of the Arrow Lakes Arts Council that will fo-cus on local musicians. Plaskett says the idea was inspired by, “seeing how much talent there is (locally). � ere are lots of people that would love a chance to perform on stage. � ey think that they are okay, but there is no place to try it out. And this is

the perfect spot to do that.” He is hoping to attract a

calibre of talent that is audi-ence-ready so the quality of the concerts will remain high.

For more information on the opportunity to perform, con-tact Rob Plaskett at [email protected].

Duo Everythring is made up of siblings Shelley and Doug Thring, who performed in a brand new series supporting local talent put on by the Arrow Lakes Arts Council. The concert was free for concert series ticketholders but was open for at-the-door admission as well. Photo by Trisha Shanks

Nakusp’s littlest farmerFauquier-seven-year old

Connor Siebold has had a love of animals since he could tod-dle. For two years, he has asked for laying hens for his birthday but his mother Tammy Merry was sure he would get bored of them. She was concerned that they would become her job instead, one she wasn’t keen to take on in addition to her other responsibilities.

“Yeah I was against it but he’s done a great job. Thought he would get bored after a day or so,” the mother of four said. Merry says Connor loves earn-ing money. “He will sit at the end of the driveway in the bak-ing sun and sell worms and lem-onade in the summer. He made $16.00 one day even though no-body really lives around here.”

They got in ten laying hens from a neighbour and Connor takes care of them every day after school. She might have known he wouldn’t give up on them based on how he was with Memphis, their palomino mare. The family got her from Hayburner Haven, a rescue that bought her from slaugh-terhouse three years ago. She had a rough start in life, and

the horse really wanted nothing to do with him. At four years old, Connor stood in her pad-dock for hours every day will-ing her to come closer to him and eventually she did. Now he rides Memphis and the mare has become so attached to him that she once stood between the child and a bear when one came close to the property.

Connor nuzzles Memphis, who they have nicknamed Lumpy because of her love of food, before leading the way down the path to his chicken coop, which his mother says he keeps cleaner than she does. Inside the bright wooden build-ing are ten hens and one rooster

called Box (for the bock-bock sound he makes). Their coop is full of fresh hay, the water-ers are full and clean, and they have a dish with fresh chicken feed. Connor wants to grow his flock to 30 birds and is hoping to hatch some eggs this spring. During the interview, he was encouraging one of his hens to sit.

“At first he didn’t want to sell any of the eggs,” his mom chuckles. He wanted to have a big collection of eggs just to have them but he finally caved and sold a dozen to his grand-mother. Then he agreed to start selling eggs to his parents. Now he has a few regular customers

and has just enough supply to meet the demand.

“I like the money, and I like the chickens,” Connor answers when asked why he wanted to start his own egg business.

Connor has a Golden Re-triever named Grover, who is also seven and a pot-belly razorback pig named Peanut, who he tries to ride across the farmyard. That’s because he’s practicing for rodeo this sum-mer. Siebold is joining the Little Britches Rodeo circuit and will spend weekends this summer roping and calf riding.

“He’s a pretty good little roper,” Merry chuckled as she tousled Connor’s hair.

Nakusp wraparound trail futureA five kilometre trail which

loops in a circle around the downtown core of the vil-lage of Nakusp could become a reality if the Trails Society has any say in the matter. Na-kusp has a hidden treasure in the form of a series of walk-ing paths which, if connected, would create a continuous five kilometre trail engulfing the village.

Piecing the sections togeth-er is not in the Trails Society’s jurisdiction. They have pre-sented their suggestion to the village at two different times, including the last meeting and

have done what they can to pave the way for the village to take up the reins.

Some of the sections would need construction; some re-quire partnership with the Ministry because they are con-sidered crown land.

At one time, sections of the trail were built to be used for recreation and that’s when things started to fall through the cracks. Parts of the trail are maintained and signed — the paved section along the wa-terfront is, but other parts like the steep section near the hos-pital are not.

“People love a loop. They love to start walking and then end up at the same place where

they left their car. It’s short and the terrain is flat enough that anybody could do it if it was improved,” said Barb Chwach-ka, one of the founding mem-bers of the Nakusp and Area Community Trails Society. “When people visit a town, especially a small rural town like this one, they want to do a walk like this one,” Chwachka added.

It will be up to the village council to determine where the funding will come from to pursue the project if they de-cide to go ahead with it.

“It was always a matter of the extra funds,” village CAO Linda Tynan stated in the Jan-uary council meeting.
