� e body of 63-year-old Slocan resident Victoria Aguilar was found south of Slocan on Sunday.

� e BC Coroners Service has con� rmed the identity of a

female who was found deceased near Slocan City on Feb. 15, 2015. She was Victoria Aguilar, aged 63, of Slocan.

Aguilar had been reported missing by family members on Jan. 7, 2015, when they had been unable to make contact with her for several days. A search at the time yielded no results.

On Feb. 15, 2015, a passerby walking near the Slocan Riv-er spotted Aguilar in an open area about three kilometres south of Slocan City. She was deceased at the scene.

� e BC Coroners Service continues to investigate this death. Foul play has now been ruled out. It is noted that Aguilar liked to go for long walks in the area.

SPRING & SUMMER 2015

Boys basketball team played their best

Nakusp was host to a boys basketball tournament last weekend, with all the games taking place at the Nakusp Sec-ondary School gym. Five teams from the region participated: Armstrong, Lumby, Mt. Senti-nel, Trail and Nakusp.

Despite best efforts, the NSS Cougars weren’t able to secure

a win during any of their four games.

“We are a younger team so we are progressing, we are learn-ing a lot. It’s a tough competi-tion,” relayed Coach Seamus O’Connor.

The tournament brought a calibre of competition Nakusp doesn’t often get to see. Par-ticipating were some AA teams from bigger schools where the sheer population difference al-

lows the teams to draw from a much larger group of kids.

O’Connor added, “They’ve done a good job, but we aren’t there yet when it comes to play-ing above our level. These are a lot of young guys who have held their own and continued to try. They have put a good effort out every time. We only have three players that are in Grade 12, thus leaving the team, so we hope to do better in our next season.”

CAO moves on to SummerlandAfter four years as

Nakusp’s Chief Admin-istrative Officer (CAO), Linda Tynan is stepping down, effective March 18. She has accepted a position of CAO for the District of Summerland which starts April 1. Tynan, her partner Rob-ert Simmerling, and their elderly dog Jasper will be relocating to the Okana-gan this spring though will retain a Nelson resi-dence to accommodate Simmerling’s business.

Tynan came to Na-kusp from Nelson where she held the title of Di-rector of Corporate Ser-vices. During her time in Nakusp, she has fine-tuned her skills in the top-tier executive role for a smaller municipal-ity before choosing to move to a community the size of Nelson in the same role.

“I’m most excited about the challenges of the job — I’m interested in developing the cultur-al aspect of Summerland. My skillset is particularly well suited for there. I’ve been in the Kootenays for a while now so I’m also looking forward to

the new recreational op-portunities. Exploring the Okanagan. Taking in as much as I can,” Tynan explained.

When choosing to come to Nakusp four years ago, Tynan was at-tracted to the position because of some of the challenges that Nakusp was facing.

“I knew of the issues and that my particular bundle of skills would be an asset — especially the finance part of it. I had the right mix of skills at the time and I feel that they were really well used in this role.”

When Tynan started at the Village of Nakusp, there had been a lot of staff turnover and several projects were underway. She dove right in and worked hard over the next four years to be able to leave Nakusp know-ing that things have been simplified and all is mov-ing in the right direction.

The Arrow Lakes News asked Tynan what she would miss.

“The overwhelming support from the Mayor and Council, the staff and the community. Peo-ple here have a desire to make things right, to get through difficult things. So many people do so

much for this village.”She is hoping to be

able to stay connected and will be leading the search for her replace-ment.

“I feel a lot of gratitude to the people of Nakusp. I also understand more than ever before how important relationships with the people you work with are. The village has an exceptional staff and

even though I have ac-complished much while I have been here, I would not have been able to if it had not been for the sup-port given to me by the staff I work with. I hope to apply the same prin-ciples when I go to Sum-merland and develop strong relationships with the staff as I have done here. It’s a really good working environment.”

Suspect found in truck thefts

During the month of January, two vehicles were stolen and left abandoned in the Na-kusp area. The Arrow Lakes News reported on these crimes and the RCMP have now given an update on the sus-

pect.On January 11 and

again on January 17, the Nakusp RCMP re-ceived two separate re-ports that a truck had been stolen during the evening. The first was from the 200 block of Broadway Street and the vehicle was located undamaged shortly thereafter. The owner

was able to regain pos-session.

The second theft was from the 700 block of 8th Ave NW. The vehi-cle was later located in a ditch on Upper Cres-cent Bay Road.

Police were able to identify a suspect re-sponsible for the thefts through investigation and with assistance

from the public. Police are recommending two charges of Theft Over $5000 and two charges of possession of stolen property over $5000 against the Nakusp res-ident suspected of com-mitting the offences.

Both trucks had been left unlocked with the keys inside at the time of the thefts.

We would love to hear from you. It’s been a long time since the Arrow Lakes News has received a letter to the editor. We would like to invite you to communi-cate with us in this format.

Letters to the editor are a great way to express your opinion in print — about something we’ve covered or something that we should be covering, or a topic of great concern to you and this communi-ty. Our newspaper would be better for it.

Looking at our closest competitor, we see plenty of vocal letter-writers, calling attention to a variety of topics and using their rights as Canadians to express their well-earned opinions. Surely some of you have strong opinions; it’s one of the things we have found so ba� ing about the lack of letters being written. � is community is full of passionate people — experts either in reality or in our own minds. � e sort of experts who probably have something valuable to say which would add to the conversation and keep it from being so one-sided.

We think we know one of the reasons driving letters into obscurity — could it be the advent of our community pages on social media? Is the quick � x of writ-ing a post or commenting on someone else’s post replacing the good, old-fash-ioned, carefully composed opinion piece we’ve known for generations? We sure hope not.

Tips:• Write about something you care about, ideally something we have covered.• Send in your praise, criticism, or addi-tional information.• Keep the letter topical, respectful and brief.• Provide solutions, suggestions, or ideas.Sign it and send it to us via email at [email protected] or by regular mail to Box 189, Nakusp BC V0G1R0.

Our View

CorrectionIn the February 12 edition of the Ar-

row Lakes News regarding the story Na-kusp’s Littlest Farmer, the title stated that Connor Siebold is from Nakusp. In fact he is from Fauquier.

Our apologies

The Happy HomemakerCHANTELLE CARTER

Week 1: Take down lighting � xtures that can be removed and wash in soapy water. Use a soft broom to dust and remove all cob-webs from ceiling. Week 2: Wash all curtains, blinds, windows and windowsills. Touch up paint on windowsills if needed.Week 3: Wash all walls and baseboards. Touch up with paint if necessary.

I use diluted household ammonia for windows, walls, and baseboards as it removes the grime without scrubbing or streaking. You must use EXTREME CAUTION — please read and follow the directions care-fully on the bottle.Week 4: Transplant houseplants if needed, and give them a dose of good fertilizer to wake them from their winter slumber. Last but not

least, get down and dirty on your hands and knees and scrub those � oors. Get in every corner, includ-ing under your appliances and furniture and scrub it clean enough to eat off of. Re-polish � oors if needed. In carpeted areas, rent a steam cleaner or pay a professional to clean them for you.

I am hesitant to even say it as I don’t want to jinx it, but it seems that spring is on its way. For those who don’t enjoy winter and all the fun that can be had in the snow, this early warm and rainy weather must come as a blessing. For those who relish in the winter activities — who live and breathe the snow, you are probably ready to pack your bags and head North. Whichever side you are on, it is hard not to smile when you hear the beautiful song birds which accompany you in your waking hours, or the sight and smell of dirt (especially for the avid gardeners), or the fresh scented breeze which tempts you to open all the windows in your house to whisk away the stale winter air. � ese three things tickle my senses and spin me into a spring-cleaning frenzy, which takes me a few weeks to recover from. I am thankful for my spring and fall cleaning blitzes otherwise these chores would never get done.

Here is my strategy of attack for spring cleaning:

Obviously these chores can be done a lot faster than the month allotted, but I don’t like it when house keeping feels like a “chore” and the more time I allow myself, the less it feels like that.

I hope this inspires you to get scrubbing valley friends, and may all the heavy duty cleaning be done by the time the dirt is ready to be dug in or the sun is ready to be bathed in.

Your letters please

It may come as quite a sur-prise to many of us that local businesses and residents of the Nakusp region can gain easy access to a wide range of pub-lic information when attempt-ing to successfully make one’s way through the maze of gov-ernmental, crown corporation and community based pro-

grams and services which are available to us upon request.

� e fact is, Service BC de-livers hundreds of programs and services to residents, busi-nesses and visitors in person, online and over the telephone.

For over 150 years, Govern-ment Agents were considered a vibrant part of what today is recognized as a friendly and knowledgeable sta� , now lo-cated within 59 B.C. commu-nities. Our local service centre is situated at 204-6th.

Some of the key resources o� ered in person at this loca-tion include small business

services, vital statistics, No-tary Public, adoption and child protection as well as family support referrals, employment and income assistance, medi-cal services plan and also a convenient bill payment outlet.

BC OnLine is referred to as the e-service delivery channel intended to facilitate prod-ucts and services on behalf of business customers. Some of the services offered include land title searches, company and also personal property searches.

Council HighlightsWhile Mayor Karen Hamling is on holi-

days, Councillor Ulli Mueller has been ap-pointed acting mayor in her absence and conducted Tuesday’s regular council meet-ing. � e meeting was held on Tuesday in-stead of Monday in order to observe the Family Day holiday.

A delegation from the Nakusp Medi-eval Society, dressed in full Knight’s regalia, opened the meeting. Daniel Abraham pre-

sented an overview of the upcoming Na-kusp Medieval Festival taking place on the old Coates farm at the bottom of the Hot Springs Road on August 1 and 2. He pre-sented a video illustrating a similar festival in the USA and spoke about what the tour-ism opportunities would be surrounding the historically-themed weekend. � e festi-val hopes to bring two temporary jobs and much tourism activity to the village.

“We’d like everyone to get excited, spread the word and make this an annual event,” Abraham said.

� e organization has asked for a letter of support and for the opportunity to further discuss waste disposal o� ered by the village as a donation to the non-pro� t endeavour.

In other business, Councillor Bill Tobey has been added as an eighth member of the NACFOR Board that normally consists of seven members. � e village is seeking a quali� ed campground operator for the next three years. � e meeting adjourned to in-camera, however the following day one item was then made public: the resignation of Chief Administrative O� cer Linda Tynan.

Knights and damsels in NakuspThis summer will mark the area’s � rst

annual Medieval Festival

The August long weekend is commonly reserved for the annual slow-pitch tournament however, this year it will be also be remembered as the weekend Nakusp went back in time.

Nakusp Medieval Society (NMS), formed in 2014 to host this event, is partnering with the Society for Creative Anach-ronism (SCA) for a festival like no other. The festivities will centre on a mock war to take place between the Kingdom of Avacal (eastern B.C. and Alber-ta) and the Principality of Tir Righ (western B.C. and north-ern Washington.) The war is won for honours and features armoured knights with swords and shields.

History class may have been boring for some, but for others it was a time when their imag-inations came alive. Ancient traditions hold mass appeal and are being upheld today all over the world in different ways. There are great numbers of people who even choose to relive history on weekends, in full regalia and with all of the social etiquette to boot. The SCA is one of these organiza-tions and they are coming to Nakusp in huge numbers this summer.

Weekend participants will recreate life from the middle ages including a realistic me-dieval encampment, a village square market and displays where guests can learn about historic trades, arts, medicine and general way of life from the costumed participants. There will be historically accu-rate items for sale, wandering musicians, a historical fashion show and the menu is in keep-

ing with the period. Organiz-ers expect as many as 500 SCA members coming from the Lower Mainland, Washington State, and Alberta. Medieval costumes are not compulso-ry but visitors are encouraged dress up to have even more fun.

Plans are in the final stages for the event’s location at an 80-acre site on the Hot Springs Rd, (Sun Lodge Farms, or the old Coates farm.) There will be a call out to local artisans and food vendors who must adhere to the time period and be in costume. To add to the authen-ticity, there will be no electrical power on the site.

The NMS, a non-profit or-

ganization, has a six-member volunteer board, three of which were involved with the Nakusp Music Festival, to bring their expertise to the event. They have already secured $7,000 in seed funding and will be set-ting up a temporary office with two office staff on Broadway.

Continuing to seek spon-sors, they say additional do-nors are always welcome. Five dollar memberships to the so-ciety will go on sale at the same time as ticket sales start. Tick-ets will be on sale mid-March on the website www.medieval-days.ca. In addition, the group has a Facebook page — Nakusp Medieval Days.

We have been in south Texas for a little over a month now; so far I have seen 182 species of birds. What a di� erence be-tween that and the 30 or so I would see at home during that same period. Today I birded an area just north of our RV park known as La Sal del Ray. It is part of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Reserve. At its centre is a large salt lake. � e habitat nearby is largely thorn scrub. It is a semi arid habitat with brushy vegetation, patch-es of mesquite wood-lands, and grasslands. En route to the reserve we passed through agricul-tural lands and visited several small wetlands. � e varied habitat al-lowed us to see 82 species between 7:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.

One of the most nota-bly things about today’s list of birds was the num-ber of raptors, (predatory birds). It began at our � rst wetland stop. Sitting atop 2 nearby dead trees were two small falcons: an American Kestrel and a Merlin. � e Merlin was ripping apart a small bird and enjoying breakfast.

� ese two species are not unique to the south, both occur regularly in B.C. At the next wetland we watched a Cooper’s

Hawk swoop through a group of small birds, but no breakfast was obtained this time!

Sitting on the power poles along the road-sides were a number of larger hawks, � rstly we saw a young White-tailed Hawk. � is is de� nitely a southern bird, it is not found north of the Gulf of Mexico or the Rio Grande Valley. Further along, we saw the � rst of several Red-tailed Hawks, anoth-er familiar B.C. bird.

Scattered all along the road we saw quite a num-ber of Crested Caracaras. � is is also a southern bird but it does not have such a restricted range as the White-tailed. It is found in much of Texas, in Florida and in south-ern Arizona. It is a preda-tor, but it also does a lot of scavenging and can o� en be seen feeding beside vultures on a carcass.

We saw both Turkey Vultures and Black Vul-tures today, as well. � e Turkey Vulture is quite familiar to B.C. residents, but the Black is a bird of the south.

Soaring low over a marsh we watched a Northern Harrier look-ing for its � rst meal of the day. Unlike many raptors that watch from a perch for likely prey, the har-rier searches on the wing, ready to pounce on any movement seen in the grass.

Our next raptor was a Red-shouldered Hawk. � is is another of the more southerly birds but its range extends well up into the northern states and into southern Canada in the east. We do not see them in B.C. Gray Hawks, on the other hand, are only found in the extreme south USA. � eir range in Central America just reaches into Texas in the Rio Grande Valley and also into south-eastern Arizona.

We watched an imma-ture bird sitting in a tree, watching us as closely as we were watching him! Just a� er he’d had enough of us and � ew o� , we saw that there was a Great Horned Owl perched in a tree directly behind the hawk. We had not noticed the owl while we were watching the hawk, but he had certainly noticed us!

Our last hawk of the

day was a pair of Harris’s Hawks. � is is perhaps the most attractive hawk in North America. From behind it is very dark, almost black. It has large reddish-brown patches on its wings; the legs are feathered in the same rusty colour. In � ight, seen from below, the leading half of the wing is also a rich reddish colour; the tail is black and white. In addition to its striking appearance, it is unique in other ways; it is the only North American raptor that hunts in groups.

We are familiar with species like wolves hunt-ing cooperatively, but it is not common in the avian world. � e Harris’s Hawk is another of the southern birds. Its range in the US is restricted to southern Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, with a small population in south-western Oklahoma.

The Masonic BlockNakusp’s main street was

moved from Bay St. on the waterfront to Broadway St. In 1922 the Masonic Hall on main street was opened. It was built by a plan drawn by CPR shipyard man, George Keys; Harry Rollins got the contract to build it.

The grand opening was held on Aug. 9, 1922. The CIBC moved into the west side of the building and the post office moved next door with Frank Rushton as post-master. He was also the no-tary public and real estate agent.

Today, Masonic Lodge

rooms are located on the second floor and Masonic meetings take place upstairs including plays in olde Eng-lish. Retail is located at the bottom of the building — a standard feature on Masonic Halls.

The Masonic Block is also valued for its Beaux Arts style architecture. The front façade of the building fac-ing Broadway is divided into three bays by monumental pilasters rendered in board-that reach from the round to the cornice lines. There are additional pilasters at each corner of the building. The arrangement of window and

door openings is symmetri-cal. The flat roof has wide overhanging eaves decorated with large brackets at the head of the pilasters and mo-dillions between them.

The upstairs double-hung windows are arched with a fanlight in the Beaux Arts style. This style of ar-chitecture was particularly favoured by the CIBC. The original narrow board siding has since been stuccoed. The interior of the upstairs was designed as the lodge meet-ing rooms. It contains origi-nal paneling, coloured glass in the windows, furnishings and Masonic symbols.

Bullying Stops Here.A proud supporter of Pink Shirt Day and anti bullying

SD10 is committed to creating and maintaining a

safe and friendly environment for students, staff, and parents.

Wear pink on February 25 to raise awareness against bullying

On February 25, all are invited to don a pink shirt to rally awareness against the seri-ous problem of bullying. Whether at school, the workplace, online or elsewhere, bullying is a big issue.

The idea of the pink shirt is said to have orig-inated in 2007 at a Nova Scotia school when a male Grade 9 student was bullied for wearing a pink shirt. Other students amassed a collec-tion of pink shirts overnight and began hand-ing them out in the foyer the next morning in a show of support and to protest simultaneously.

School District 10 Director of Learning Heather Dennill said she hopes the event will “focus on safe and caring environments every day in school so that every child feels safe, val-ued and respected.”

Because one day isn’t enough to bring about permanent change, it is her hope that people keep it in their awareness so that it’s how they

live day by day. “I encourage parents if they feel that their

child is in a bullying or conflict situation, to let the school know,” Dennill said. She stressed how important it is to speak up around this is-sue when it’s happening.

Each school in B.C. plans their own event around anti-bullying day. Everyone is encour-aged to participate by wearing a pink shirt on Wednesday February 25 as a visual reminder. It should be looked at as an opportunity for com-munity awareness around what the province has been doing.

The Ministry of Education began an “Erase Bullying” campaign strategy four years ago that continues to this day. It has involved training all 60 school districts on school connectedness, culture, and how it impacts harmful behaviours. They have also provided training around vio-lent threat risk assessment, preventing threats of a more serious nature.

More information can be found at www.erasebullying.ca.
