Denise Perry has been dis-missed as superintendent/secre-tary-treasurer of School District No. 10 (Arrow Lakes) effective May 22.

Perry was hired last summer to replace Walter Posnikoff, who held the position for many years.

Chair of the Arrow Lakes board of education, Pattie Adam,

explained that the board felt Perry was not fitting in well with the district. “It was a very difficult decision we had to make,” she said in a telephone interview. “I think in the long run, we learned a lot about ourselves and how we run.”

The acting superintendent/sec-retary-treasurer role has been taken on by long-time SD10 employee, Terry Taylor. Adam explained that the Province would

help the board find someone to come in and assist Taylor. That person should be in place by the end of the week.

“It is a matter of making it through the school year with the least disruption to students as pos-sible. The students are why we’re doing everything we’re doing,” said Adam. “We will work hard to do our best during this time, and ask everyone to bear with us and help us along.”

Adam said the hiring process that led to Perry’s appointment was “a good and thoughtful pro-cess” but, “It’s just one of those things. You can’t always be sure until you try things sometimes.”

She said the board is “much more knowledgeable now” and will be discussing whether com-bining the superintendent and secretary-treasurer positions is the way they want to continue on or not. She said the Province

would help them with this deci-sion, as well.

“Other districts are thinking strictly of educational purposes for the district as the superinten-dent’s role, whereas the secre-tary/treasurer looks after the busi-ness end of things. The board is learning what a valuable person we had in the former superinten-dent, who designed and invented the superintendent/secretary-trea-surer position,” Adam said.

Mayor Hamling, Truaxes receive Diamond Jubilee Medals

Top: Laurie Page (left) and Bea Anton (right) congratulate Mayor Karen Hamling of Nakusp on being award-ed the Diamond Jubilee Medal last Wednesday afternoon. Bottom: Nakusp Legion Vice-Presi-dent Stephen Tays (left) and Hamling pose with Harvey and Cheryl Truax, who received their Diamond Jubilee Medals on May 21. Arrow Lakes News (top); Contributed (Bottom)

Dozens of well-wishers packed the Nakusp Emergency Services Building Wednesday afternoon to salute Nakusp mayor Karen Ham-ling as she was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for her decades of public service to the region.

The medal, created last year in celebration of the Queen’s 60th year on the royal throne, serves to honour significant contributions and achievements by Canadians.

Columbia Basin Trust board member and Nakusp & Area Development Board chair Laurie Page presided over the ceremony. In her opening address, Page framed Mayor Ham-ling’s career in the context of being a care-taker: from taking care of people as a nurse at Arrow Lakes Hospital when she moved here in 1971, to taking care of the entire hospital as a medical records technician, to taking care of the village as a three-term councillor begin-ning in 1988 and three-term mayor beginning in 2006, and now caring for the entire region through her roles with the Regional District of Central Kootenay, the Columbia Basin Trust, and Southern Interior Development Initiative Trust.

“Where others see a grinding workload, Karen sees opportunity,” stated Page. “She makes sure Nakusp is at every table, and that they know who we are.”

Page then invited Bea Anton, who was a recipient of the same honour last year, to for-mally award the mayor with the medal.

Hamling then took to the podium for a short speech in which she thanked a number of peo-ple, including Nakusp councillor Ulli Muel-ler for making the event happen. The mayor thanked Corky Evans, Randy Thiessen, and

the late Gerry Schiavon for pushing her to run for the position.

‘It’s an honour and a blessing to be mayor. Even this medal can’t match the honour of being elected mayor three times.’

Finally, she held up her husband John as her biggest champion, remarking that she could not have made it this far without his support.

With her closing statement, Mayor Ham-ling wished to emphasize the contribution of the Nakusp community to her achievements, and that she could not have accomplished the things she did without the community behind her.

“I’m standing here today in a room full of overachievers. It’s you who make me look good.”

Hamling’s award comes on the heels of Harvey and Cheryl Truax being awarded Dia-mond Jubilee medals on May 21. Due to a power outage, the ceremony wound up being conducted on the steps of the Royal Canadian Legion Hall in Nakusp. The Truaxes have long been integral members of the Nakusp Legion and are much respected for their dedication to the community.

If you see two people slowly mak-ing their way up and down the streets of Nakusp with cameras over the next few weeks, don’t be alarmed. They aren’t spies for the government, or even for Google. They’re simply his-torians looking to document the his-tory of houses in Nakusp.

The Arrow Lakes Historical Soci-ety is taking on a rather ambitious project this summer: to try and pin down the history behind the 700-or-so houses within the village. The project was begun by Milton Parent shortly before his passing last summer. With the snow long gone and volunteers Peggy Konkin and Linda Osterman in tow, the project has resumed.

While the histories of the older

houses in town are well known, the stories and ownership changes behind many of the newer houses tend to be ignored. The ultimate goal of the proj-ect is to create a database where peo-ple can view the history of their houses and find out important information such as ownership changes and dates of major renovations. Only perma-nent structures are being documented (i.e., no trailers, mobile homes, parked

RVs, or containers).Part of this process is ensuring that

there is a visual record of each house. As Nakusp is one of the few places left in the province that hasn’t been covered by Google Street View, tak-ing pictures in person is the only way a visual record of the houses can be recorded as they stand in 2013.

The society assures everyone that the photos won’t be distributed and

that they are purely for documenta-tion purposes. You won’t find a pic-ture of your house on a website or in a book without your knowledge, and there definitely won’t be any pictures of people taken.

For more information on the proj-ect, or if you’d like to share the story of your house, contact the Historical Society at 250-265-0110 or stop by their office at 92 7th Avenue NW.

In light of the upcoming rene-gotiation of the Columbia River Treaty, conversations have been increasing about the impact that dam construction had on this region. With the recent decision to construct a new ferry rather than a fixed link, the pros and cons of those options has also been a topic of debate. A brief history lesson is in order, especially for those who are not familiar with the discus-sions that occurred prior to the signing of the treaty and the build-ing of the High Arrow (later Hugh Keenleyside) Dam in 1968.

In 1965, BC Hydro distributed an informational booklet enti-tled “The New Outlook for the Arrow Lakes.” It described how the area would be reshaped by the flooding of the valley, and it presented a plan for dealing with those changes. Much of that plan closely resembles what we see today: the relocation and rebuild-ing of roads and townsites, the Galena Bay ferry, and the road from Shelter Bay to Revelstoke. However, the first two items on BC Hydro’s description of the new highway network read as follows:

·A bridge across the Lower

Arrow Lake at Fauquier.·A new highway southeast from

the new bridge to the Passmore area via Octopus Creek and Koch Creek

Clearly, construction did not go entirely according to plan. Fur-thermore, the anticipated bene-fits to the region were not quite as advertised either—especially given the change in plans. “The new highway network will open the way for tourists and holiday-makers,” trumpeted one section. “A large volume of tourist traffic will be assured by the attraction of the dams.”

Fauquier in particular has got-ten short shrift in the current sce-

nario when compared with the original plan. “[B]eing located at the key highway junction it would be accessible from all directions and would receive all the tour-ist traffic passing through the region,” proclaimed BC Hydro (emphasis in original). With nei-ther the bridge nor the new high-way becoming reality, neither has the rosy forecast for the region’s fortunes.

In response to questions about the highway proposals in the booklet, BC Hydro pointed out that the very same booklet described a limited role for them in the redevelopment of the valley. For example, they would assist with moving public buildings and purchasing plots of land for new townsites. However, while their publication described a broad plan for the flooding of the valley, not everything described in it was part of their role.

The Ministry of Transportation, in response to questions about the construction of a ferry instead of a bridge, had these responses:

Q: What was the rationale for not proceeding with a bridge to replace the Upper Arrow Lake ferry?

A: While it is technically fea-sible to build bridge the Upper

Reality differs from 1960s transportation plans for the Arrow LakesCRAIG SAVAGESpecial to the Arrow Lakes News

Arrow Lake, the $200 to $500 million cost estimate in 2004 makes it imprac-tical.

Q: Why was a study done, if the ministry was not planning to act on it?

As part of its long-term planning, the ministry will undertake studies of potential transportation infrastructure.

A study of the fixed link was done in order to understand the feasibil-ity of potential crossing locations and their costs which could then be used to make an informed decision on whether to proceed with further planning work.

Q: What is the ministry’s response to claims that it would be cheaper, in the long run, to build a bridge rather than operate a ferry?

The ministry has determined that it is more cost-effective for taxpayers to provide inland ferry system rather than a fixed link.

The combined capital and operat-ing costs of the ferry are lower than a crossing, when borrowing costs and the cost of bridge and highway mainte-nance are factored in.

Consumer advocates are applauding a new wireless code of conduct that lets Cana-dians cancel mobile phone contracts without penalty after two years and sets caps on data roaming charges.

The new code, unveiled Monday by federal regula-tors, applies on new contracts for mobile phones and other devices starting Dec. 2.

Besides the ability to escape three-year contracts without fees after two years, the new CRTC rules cap data over-age fees at $50 a month and national and international data roaming fees at $100 a month, unless the user explicitly wants to use more.

“Canadians may finally now be freed of the worst of

cellphone bill shock,” Pub-lic Interest Advocacy Centre executive director John Law-ford said. “We hope that con-sumers will now be able to enjoy their wireless service fully and without fear.”

He said the code should reduce the mobile device costs of many users.

“It also makes it easier to switch companies because those costs are limited and are clear,” Lawford said.

Individuals and small busi-ness users will also be able to have their phones unlocked after 90 days or immediately if they paid the full price.

A 15-day return option is also promised to those who are unhappy with service, along with an easy-to-read contract and an ability to accept or decline key changes to a con-tract.

“The wireless code will con-tribute to a more dynamic mar-ketplace by making it possible for Canadians to discuss their needs with service providers at least every two years,” CRTC chair Jean-Pierre Blais said.

It’s not yet clear how major phone companies will react to the new rules.

“We already do a lot of what is in the new code,” Telus spokesman Shawn Hall said in an emailed statement.

He said Telus replaced con-tract cancellation charges with a device balance some years ago and already offers phone unlocking and a cap on inter-national data roaming.

“We are thus well positioned to support this new code,” Hall said, calling it “a strong and friendly set of protections.”

VICTORIA – As she unveiled her new cabinet, Premier Christy Clark prom-ised a “line-by-line” review of government spending to deliver a balanced bud-get this year.

Statements such as this would have more credibility if politicians subjected their own personal spending to the same scrutiny. That’s still not happening in B.C.

Expense accountability has come a long way in the last year, thanks mainly to the work of now-departed Auditor General John Doyle, who swung the cob-web-covered door open on B.C.’s secretive Legislative Assembly Management Committee. Chaired by the speaker and run by senior MLAs from both parties, the committee had been doing pretty much whatever it wanted with MLAs’ own expenses.

Doyle’s audit found that MLA credit card bills were being paid without receipts, part of a lax accounting system that included inaccurate bank records and inad-equate management of the legislature gift shop and dining room. The operating budget of the legislature and constituencies runs to more than $60 million a year.

Now-retired speaker Bill Barisoff asked the auditor to give a pass to the $119,000 annual allowance for each of the 85 constituency offices. Transfer amounts and payroll expenses were verified, but constituency expenses were not, likely because these records weren’t kept either.

I’m not suggesting that there has been any misuse of public funds. The point is we don’t know, and the notion of an “honour system” for politicians’ expenses has become unacceptable.

A similar toxic tale has been unfolding in the Senate in Ottawa. It has its own secretive committee called the Board of Internal Economy, which was forced into the open after trying to sweep Senator Mike Duffy’s housing claims under the red rug of the Senate chamber.

Duffy has lived in Ottawa for decades, first as a TV host and then senator, but he decided the rules were loose enough that he could claim his summer place in Prince Edward Island as his principal residence. An audit has also found he was claiming living expenses in Ottawa while campaigning for the Conservatives back east. It turns out the key ingredient in an honour system is honour.

This mess goes back more than a century in B.C. and Canada, and has its roots in the British Parliament, where MPs and Lords had a system of claiming all sorts of expenses, including construction of a “duck house” and maintenance of the moat around an Honourable Member’s castle.

Many years ago, British MPs convinced themselves that they were underpaid, and rather than create a public fuss by giving themselves a big raise, they would be able to top it up by claiming up to 250 pounds at a time without receipts. Cheers!

You can imagine how well that worked out. As one observer put it, the system was not only open to abuse, it was actually designed for it.

Here in B.C., the next step is obvious. If you go to the website of Alberta Pre-mier Alison Redford, you can easily find the link to her detailed expense reports, itemized for travel, meals, hotel rooms and so forth. Alberta cabinet ministers pro-vide the same disclosure.

B.C. cabinet ministers’ travel expenses are now reported, but only as an occa-sional lump sum.

As a result of Doyle’s revelations last summer, B.C.’s Legislative Assembly Management Committee now meets in public, with transcripts of proceedings available. But MLA expenses are still not itemized. Total expenditures are being reported on a quarterly basis, but with no detail to explain why some MLAs have much higher totals than others.

It’s time to sweep out the cobwebs.

Expense cleanup must continueTom FleTcherBlack Press

Editor, On Saturday, April 6, 2013 a presentation

was done at the conference in Victoria for the Society of Rural Physicians of Canada. It was a dedicated to Dr. Frederick Maxfield, a long time physician in Nakusp and was a case presentation of his son, Bunty Max-field and the struggles of caring for complex patients in the rural sites. Bunty’s wife Patty gave the story of Bunty’s life in pictures and Dr. David Goranson and Nyree Caton, Home Health Nurse for Nakusp, filled in his treat-ment and solutions that were found. It was obvious that physicians were moved by Pat-ty’s story.

Suzanne McCombs, CIHS Manager for

Nakusp, along with Ann Weir, Clinical Prac-tice Educator and Deborah Austin, Health Service Administrator for Golden and Inver-mere also presented on the challenges faced by the rural nurse in British Columbia.

I thought it was important that the com-munity knew that Dr. Maxfield was hon-ored in this way and that the voices of the local rural nurses in Nakusp and surrounding areas are heard.

VICTORIA – Canada’s first provincial Green Party politician is also the first MLA to take the oath of office as the B.C. legisla-ture gets set to resume sitting.

Climate scientist Andrew Weaver was sworn in Thursday as MLA for Oak Bay-Gordon Head, the first of 85 MLAs elected to the 40th Parliament of B.C.

Weaver said he plans to bring a different style to the legisla-ture, emphasizing policy rather than the loud political theatre that some of the news media prefer.

“We should be here to do pol-icy, not to fight,” he said. “Criti-cism is easy. Constructive criti-cism is more difficult.”

One issue Weaver plans to press the government on is its ambitious agenda to develop liq-uefied natural gas exports. He said the current high price in the

Asian market is unsustainable in the longer term, because of com-petition from Russia, the U.S. and Australia, and China’s devel-opment of horizontal fractur-ing technology to exploit its own shale gas reserves.

He warned that “massive tax-payer subsidy” may be used to get into a market where prices can only decline.

Weaver also repeated the Green Party’s call for a provincial budget officer, similar to the fed-eral office that reviews govern-ment plans before they are imple-mented.

“We have accountability at the tail end of policy,” he said.

B.C. Green Party leader Jane Sterk said she expects Weaver to have more influence than other independent MLAs, because of his Green affiliation, his relation-ships with B.C. Liberal MLAs and his scientific credentials.

Weaver has taken leave from

his faculty position at the Uni-versity of Victoria, but he said he will remain active in his scientific role.

Premier Christy Clark unveils her new cabinet lineup in Van-couver Friday, followed by a swearing-in ceremony conducted by Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon at Government House on Monday.

B.C. Liberal MLAs are to be sworn in at the legislative cham-ber next Tuesday, along with Delta South independent MLA Vicki Huntington. NDP MLAs take the oath on Wednesday.

Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart announced Wednesday he will resign his seat as soon as he is sworn in, making way for Clark to run in a by-election in mid-July. The legislature is to meet some time this summer to pass the B.C. Liberal govern-ment’s pre-election budget.

Premier Christy Clark unveiled her new cabinet at an outdoor cer-emony in downtown Vancouver Friday, keeping veterans in some key roles and bringing in new-comers elected in the B.C. Liber-als’ upset election win.

Clark appointed 19 ministers, adding two new ministries. Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman takes over the new min-istry of natural gas development, retaining responsibilities as dep-uty premier and minister respon-sible for housing.

Newly elected Richmond Cen-tre MLA Teresa Wat takes on a new ministry of international trade, including B.C.’s Asia-Pacific strategy and multicultur-alism.

Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone, another new-comer, moves into the transporta-tion ministry.

Vancouver-Fraserview MLA Suzanne Anton, a former Crown prosecutor and Vancouver city councillor, will be justice minis-ter and attorney-general.

Langley City mayor and rookie Surrey-Fleetwood MLA Peter Fassbender moves into the hot seat as education minister. His first task is to work on Clark’s goal of reaching a long-term con-tract settlement with B.C. teach-ers.

Another newcomer is Surrey-Tynehead MLA Amrik Virk, tak-ing over as advanced education minister.

Third-term Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad makes cabinet as aboriginal relations minister, where he is assigned to continue developing resource and treaty agreements around the province.

Comox Valley MLA Don McRae moves from education to another renamed role, social development and social innova-tion.

Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake moves from environment to health, the largest ministry in the B.C. government.

Kootenay East MLA Bill Ben-nett takes over from Coleman in the energy and mines minis-try. Bennett was also placed in charge of the government’s “core review,” a cross-government effi-ciency exercise.

Rookie Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes takes over Ben-nett’s former role as community, sport and cultural development minister.

Veteran ministers from the Gordon Campbell era remain in key roles. Prince George-Vale-mount MLA and cabinet veteran Shirley Bond goes from justice to jobs, tourism and skills training, also responsible for labour.

Langley MLA Mary Polak

goes from transportation to envi-ronment.

Abbotsford West MLA Mike de Jong remains finance minis-ter and B.C. Liberal house leader, preparing for a legislative ses-sion expected to start this month to pass the budget introduced in February.

Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson remains at forest, lands and natural resource operations, and Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux stays as chil-dren and family development minister.

North Vancouver-Lonsdale MLA Naomi Yamamoto is minis-ter of state for tourism and small business.

Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm takes over as agriculture minister, replacing Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Let-nick, one of three people dropped from cabinet.

Also shuffled out are are West Vancouver-Capilano MLA Ralph Sultan, who had briefly been min-ister of state for seniors, and Van-couver-Langara MLA Moira Stil-well from social development.

For 79 Nakusp Elementary stu-dents, Tuesday June 5 was a full day, spent ‘battling’ invasive Scotch broom.

On Tuesday, June 4th the classes spent the afternoon pulling, cutting and sawing some of the Central Koo-tenay’s most notorious invasive plants, Scotch broom, adjacent to the Nakusp cemetery. This Communities Pulling Together event was supported by the Columbia Basin Trust and organized and delivered by the Central Kootenay Invasive Plant Committee (CKIPC).

CKIPC team members Jennifer Vogel, Program Coordinator and Matt Chilakos, Program Assistant intro-duced the students to the concept of invasive species in the classroom and then took them out into the ‘� eld’ to control one of Nakusp’s worst invad-

ers. “We learned how invasive plants

are affecting biodiversity, and our communities,” explained teacher Les-lie Leitch. “Our students are proud that their efforts have improved grow-ing conditions for native plants along the lake, which provide important habitat for wildlife. They also helped to slow the spread of invasive plants in our community.”

Tired and hot from their weed pulling efforts, the students were all treated to some freezies and various prizes provided by the CKIPC.

The CKIPC is a non-pro� t soci-ety that delivers education and aware-ness programs, and promotes coordi-nated management efforts of invasive species in the Central Kootenays. For more information or to get involved go to www.ckipc.ca or call 250-352-1160.

There are nine species of ori-oles in North America, only two of which are found in BC. Orioles are members of the same family as blackbirds but are generally more colour-ful. All nine species are either black and orange or black and yellow.

The most common B.C. spe-cies is the Bullock’s Oriole. However the range is quite restricted and it is found only in the southern quarter of the province. The other BC spe-

cies, the Baltimore Oriole, also has a restricted BC range occurring only in the north-eastern section of the prov-ince, on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountains. An adult male Bullock’s Oriole is orange on the face, breast, belly, rump and tail. There is a black patch on the throat; the back is black; and the wings are black with a prominent white patch. The female is yellowish on the head, upper breast, rump and tail; the back and wings are grey. The Baltimore Oriole is similar in colour except that the entire head is black. Despite the differences in their appear-ance, these two species were once believed to be subspecies. However, recent advances in science, particularly DNA anal-ysis, have determined that each deserves full species status. A third species, the Orchard Ori-ole, is the only other oriole that occurs regularly in Canada. Its

range is restricted to extreme south-eastern Saskatchewan, southern Manitoba and south-ern Ontario.

Locally, the Bullock’s Ori-ole is very uncommon in the Nakusp area. The one I saw last week was only the fourth one I’ve seen around Nakusp in the last six years. Further south, around Castlegar and Trail, they occur much more regu-larly.

All orioles are known to build fairly elaborate nests. Bullock’s Orioles build nests that hang below a branch like a pendulum. The nest itself is completely enclosed from all sides and from above; entrance is via a small side opening. The nest itself may swing quite lib-erally in the wind at times. While some pairs can complete the construction in five or six days, many take considerably longer.

A quick look at B.C.’s orioles

As the Fish and Wildlife Com-pensation Program (FWCP) in the Columbia region starts imple-menting its new delivery model, it has announced project funding for 2013‐2014 of more than $5 million. This includes more than half a mil-lion dollars to projects managed by environmental organizations, stew-ardship groups, consultants, and First Nations.

The annual funding, to compen-sate for fish and wildlife affected by the creation of BC Hydro owned and operated generation facilities, is jointly managed and delivered by representatives from BC Hydro, the Province of B.C., Fisheries and Oceans Canada, public and First Nations.

For 2013‐2014 the FWCP’s core projects in the Columbia region will include the operation of Meadow Creek and Hill Creek kokanee spawning channels, supporting the white sturgeon recovery initiative in the Columbia River, and add-ing nutrients to Kootenay Lake and Arrow Lakes Reservoir. For wild-life, the priorities for its core projects include purchasing conservation properties, slashing and thinning to increase forage for ungulates, eco-system assessment of potential res-toration sites and monitoring of pre-vious restoration activities, support-

ing western toads at Summit Lake, and large mammal monitoring and species inventory that will help guide future wildlife management decisions.

“In addition to our core proj-ects, the board increased the fund-ing for external projects by more than $100,000 over last year,” said FWCP‐Columbia program manager Trevor Oussoren. “The quality of the external applications for FWCP funding was extremely high and we are really happy to work with stake-holders and First Nations to help fish and wildlife in the region.”

These external projects seek to help a selection of species‐at‐risk including the wolverine, griz-zly bear, western painted turtle, and the Lewis’ woodpecker as well as a number of other species that will benefit from planned grassland res-toration work. For fisheries the focal species for external projects are pre-dominantly bull trout and Gerrard rainbow trout.

“All the projects selected for funding fall within the scope of our newly created Basin and Actions Plans, and will complement our base, or core, projects,” added Ous-soren.

In addition to the annual fund-ing received from BC Hydro, the FWCP is receiving $3 million from the Columbia Basin Trust to create the East Kootenay‐Koocanusa Fish

and Wildlife Program. It will play a pivotal role in helping protect and enhance fish, wildlife and their hab-itats in and around Koocanusa Res-ervoir, and its tributaries in the Koo-tenay River system.

“This is really exciting news, and we really welcome this oppor-tunity to work with Columbia Basin Trust and strengthen our partner-ship,” says Dave White, public rep-resentative on the FWCP‐Colum-bia board. “We look forward to the planning process, and hearing from local community members and First Nations to develop and deliver an Action Plan that will benefit fish and wildlife in this area.”

Since its inception in 1995, the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program has invested more than $72 million in fish and wildlife proj-ects in the Columbia region. The FWCP also delivers conservation and enhancement projects in the Peace and Coastal regions. For a full list of FWCP‐Columbia projects for 2013‐2014, visit fwpc.ca and click on “Columbia Region.”

Project funding for FWCP announcedContributed

AsparagusThis long, skinny green relative of

onion, garlic, leek and agave. Nutrition-ally it is high in both vitamins K and A- that’s good news for your blood, your eyes and your immune system.

I love asparagus. To me, it can be steamed, baked, roasted, put in a soup and sometimes, even raw but never ever ever canned. Being the aspiring Foodie that I am, I find it embarrassing to admit that my first taste of fresh asparagus was not until I was well into my twenties. Prior to that I had been eating it out of a can since I can remember. Canned aspar-agus was one of my favorite treats, but I don’t even know if I could eat it now. The flavour isn’t bad but what on earth happens to the texture during that pro-cess? Mush. I almost wonder if there is an Anti-asparagus faction and they are behind the quality control in these food processing factories.

I had always wondered about the dif-ference between white and green aspar-

agus- have you? Well wonder no more! It turns out that the white version, hugely popular in French cooking has been hilled, or grown with light deprivation which produces the green coloring. And here I believed it was the root of the green one until researching for this article.

Fresh asparagus on the other hand, can be delicious. When properly cooked, the right texture is just between al dente and soft. The flavour is milder than brus-sels sprouts but not as mild as broccoli, and goes with many other foods as a side dish.

Adaptable to frittatas, soups, grill-ing, or steaming, it is still one of those vegetables not everybody gets excited about. Some say it has a foul odour, and worse, creates that odour in our bodies too. I won’t get too scientific on you but it seems that there is a syndrome called ‘anosmia’ which either allows us to smell the asparagus and like it, or not like it. Sort of like cilantro, which is a story for another day.

Preparation Tips:-Rinse asparagus well before cooking-To keep asparagus fresh for up to 2

weeks, trim the cut end and place in a container of water in the fridge, covered with a plastic bag

-To remove the ‘woody’ section at the bottom, gently bend the stalk and allow it to snap on its own

Vegibox subscribers can enjoy fresh Armstrong Asparagus in their boxes this week, and here is a delicious way to pre-pare it.

Pan-roasted Asparagus (recipe from About.com)Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 7 minutesMakes 4 servingsIngredients:-1 pound (1 bunch) fresh asparagus, bottoms trimmed if necessary-2 tbsp olive oil-1 tbsp water-1 clove garlic, peeled and cut in half-1 lemon, juiced-salt and pepper to taste-shaved Parmesan cheese (optional)Preparation:In a large sauté pan with a lid, on high heat, add the asparagus, olive oil,

water, and garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes uncovered, or until the water has almost evaporated. Toss the asparagus with tongs, cover the pan and cook for 1 minute. Remove the lid and toss the asparagus again. Put the lid back on and repeat until the asparagus are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. The asparagus may brown slightly in spots, which adds to the pan-roasted flavor.

Add the lemon juice and toss to combine. Remove the garlic, and taste for salt and pepper. Serve hot. This is delicious garnished with shaved Parmesan cheese.

Wrap Around Nakusp

Rating: easy Distance: 5 km Time: 1 hour Surface: pavement, gravel, dirt Modes: walk, bike, roll, push

Trail Description This four-season trail circles the picturesque village of Nakusp, providing a 5 kilometre circuit for strolling, dog walking, jogging, or biking, with portions also accessible to wheelchairs, rollerblades, and baby carriages. The circuit includes the paved Waterfront walk, extending along the top of the soil erosion protector for 1 km from the Marina to the beach. The Walk is renowned for its handsome landscaping, including Spicer’s Garden (GPS Point 1 on the map) in the middle and the Japanese Garden (GPS Point 2) near the beach. At the other end of the beach, the gravel Greenways extension begins (GPS Point 3). The groomed gravel path winds through the shade along the lakefront for 800 metres, providing benches for repose and nature watching and some hills for exercise. A 500 metre gravel lane at the end of 4th St. NW (GPS Point 4) links the Greenways Extension to the Railway Trail that begins across Highway 23 (GPS Point 5). The Railway Trail is a reclaimed railway bed that stretches to Rosebery, 46 km to the south. About 300 metres past the junction with Government Road (GPS Point 6), a path branches off the railway trail to head back downtown (GPS Point 7). From the corner of 1st Ave and 1st St., the path continues along streets back to the Marina. Access Although there are many access points along the trail, the Nakusp Marina is a nice place to start your Waterfront Walk. Located at the bottom of Nelson Ave., the Marina has ample parking space and a covered picnic area with luscious arbour gardens (GPS P ). Modes of Use Waterfront Walk—hike, bike (with caution), wheelchairs, roller-blades, or any non-motorized modes of transportation. Greenways Extension—hike, bike, baby carriages possible, but there’s one short, steep hill. Railway Trail—hike, bike, small motorized vehicles and horses. Pathway from Railway Trail to Marina—bikes and foot traffic only—somewhat steep with a loose, ungroomed surface. Past and Future When BC Hydro flooded the Arrow Lakes in the 1960’s, a ce-ment soil protection barrier was constructed along the town’s waterfront. Over the years, volunteer work, grant monies and the Village of Nakusp have developed the Waterfront Walk to its present beautiful state, with its commemorative benches, trees and ample gardens. The Greenways Extension was added in the late 1990’s with the help of federal government grants and local workers. The Village of Nakusp has plans to further upgrade the trail around town, so it will only get better! If You Liked This Trail If the Wrap Around Nakusp trail appealed to you, try Cedar Grove Loop, Box Lake Loop or portions of Rosebery Railway Trail, which are also relatively short, easy hikes in this area.

The Japanese Gardens offer a peaceful rest stop and phenomenal view.

90 YEARS AGOThursday, June 7, 1923East Demars was called upon

to mourn the loss of its oldest resi-dents in the person of Louis Pabst, who passed away suddenly Satur-day evening after suffering a vio-lent indigestion. He had been a resident of the district for 20 years.

Some children have been recently been tampering with pipes belonging to the new water system and disconnected some of the pipes, cutting off the supply of water. Police Constable Jupp visited the Box Lake School last week and spoke seriously to the children, showing them the enor-mity of their crime and assuring future offenders that the law would take their punishment in hand.

80 YEARS AGOThursday, June 8, 1933Mr. and Mrs. James Greer, who

motored to Nakusp Friday night, returned to Sandon about 4 a.m. Saturday and upon entering the sleepy town found the creek to be very muddy. They discovered the mud to be coming from Car-penter Creek, better known as Sil-versmith Creek. Mr. Greer awak-ened road foreman, Mr. Morton, and both rushed to the Silversmith properties to find the 6” pipe from King Creek to Silversmith prop-erties had burst and tons of water and much, trees and stumps were gouging a way down the mountain side taking everything before it.

They immediately rushed to the sand gates and succeeded in clos-ing the water off from King Creek, but not before the beautiful big cook and bunk house, tool sheds, the entrance to the main tunnel and numerous other things were total wrecks. It is said that $40,000 won’t cover losses to the company.

70 YEARS AGOThursday, June 10, 1943W.B. Allan, manager of the

Canadian Bank of Commerce, Nakusp has agreed to to take sub-scriptions of the Greek War Relief Fund. The proceeds will be used to buy food and medical supplies for starving Greeks.

Once again, Arrow Park town hall was the scene of much jovi-ality when the members of the Women’s Institute held their annual concert and dance Satur-day.

J. Lee officiated as chairper-son of the concert. A short play “Please Pass the cream” was put on by Edith Burrard and Archie McLean from Graham’s Land-ing. Mrs. Wintersteen delighted all with a pianoforte solo. Miss Fran-ces Roberts sang sweetly, Jean Kent recited, as did Gladys James. Impersonations came next by Ronnie Lee, Fred and Eddie Des-rochers. Stanl;ey Williams was at his best with his sax. The concert ended with the short play “The Last Laugh”, a drama. Mrs. ken-

nedy, Mrs. J. Lee, Mrs. A. Seward and Mrs. James did the acting for this play.

60 YEARS AGOThursday, June 11, 1953Mark DuMont and Sons, who

have timber sales on Wilson Lake, have made some changes to that part of the country. The sawmil, located last year on the brow of the hill overlooking the lake to the right has been moved to the left side. A road cuts through the park-ing space to the left of the mill.

A jack-ladder brings the logs from the lake to the brow of the hill and a boom of logs occupies the lake at the foot of the jack-lad-der.

Construction of the Syringa Creek, Deer Park Road, approx-imately seven miles long, has begun and will entail a lot of rock work. When completed, the road will give Deer Park residents road access for the first time.

50 YEARS AGOThursday, June 13, 1963In a beautiful setting of “Eve-

ning in Paris” 17 students of the Grade 12 class said goodbye to their high school days in Nakusp on Friday.

Basketball awards were pre-sented on Friday to Barrie Johnson, Joanne Falkiner and Keith McIn-tosh. Track Awards were presented to Mark Duncan, Barrie Johnson, Walter DeBoni and best all-round athlete was Mark Duncan. Certf-icates of Merit were presented to Grade 12 - Glenda DeBoni; Grade 11 - Betsy Falkiner, Pauline Gen-sick; Grade 10 - Alan Hoshizaki, Bonnie Nishimura, Joan Montal-betti; Grade 9 - Bill Dodge, Karo-lyn Kawahara, Clara Urban, David Walker; Grade 8 - Elaine Rathjen, Eddy Zak, Phyllis Zeleznik.

Jeanne Falkiner was Valedicto-rian.

40 YEARS AGOWednesday, June 6, 197342 Grade 12 students in vari-

ous prgrams have graduated from Nakusp Secondary School.

They are: David Nixon, Susan Anderson, Frank Zobel, Marion Blair, Gary Posnick, Louis Makar, Gordon Posnick, Nina Shaw, Bob Metcalf, Delores Drebit, Reg-gie Gustafson, Pat Davis, Cathie Hogaboam, Art Lloyd, Gail Yol-land, Ken Nishida, Kathy John-son, Don Hascarl, Yvonne Orr, Colin McQuair, Debbie Berry, Mike Nishimura, Terry Warren, Dale Weatherhead, Eileen Kent, Larry Yano, Helen Murphy, Tom Zeleznik, Hollis Barrow, Gordon Hogaboam, Mark Flick, Wilbert Berry, Randy Koeneman, Rich-ard deGans, Irwin Hopp, Gra-ham Brown, Hal Mathews, Alvis Stykel, Gordon Jakobsson, Leon-ard Smith, Terry Doherty, Kim Metcalf.

30 YEARS AGOWednesday, June 8, 1983Paul Jones of BC Hydro and

Mayor Erling O. Johnson opened the gate to symbolically mark the official turnover of the new marina to the Village of Nakusp on Tues-day. The council, members of the old and new launch club and other guests were given a conducted tour of the new facility.

On Friday, June 3 the 1983 Arrow Lakes School District No. 10 Elementary Track and Field meet was held at Nakusp Second-ary School.

Teams from Fauquier, Edge-wood, Glenbank and Nakusp Ele-mentary competed in the all day event.

Students from Nakusp Elemen-tary had a fine day of competition, winning the championships for the second year in a row.

In a well-played see-saw soft-ball game, Edgewood defeated Lucerne 13-12 to capture the Sochool District No. 10’s Devlin Cup softball championship.

Edgewood thus completed the season undefeated.

20 YEARS AGOWednesday, June 9, 1993Foundations are being prepared

for the new Osprey Cove condos on the Nakusp waterfront. A rare mulberry tree is slated for destruc-tion to make way. The old tree is thought to be the only mulberry in this area.

Residents gained information and expressed their views on the Columbia River Treaty at a meet-ing held last Tuesday evening.

About 80 people attended the Nakusp meeting to hear informa-tion from guest speakers and to participate in small group discus-sions.

Now is a significant time in the direction of the treaty. Canada’s share of the power gained by the three dams involved was initially sold for a thirty-year time period. Those thirty years will soon be over.

10 YEARS AGOThursday, June 12, 2003Arrow Lakes Bus Lines will no

longer be offering passenger ser-vice to and from Vernon.

“I’m fed up with all the bureau-cracy”, said Earl Hawkins, who’s run the bus service for the past eight years.

Hawkins says his business is being dictated by the Motor Car-rier Commission, which regulates the licensing of buses.

Tom Wright was the top angler at the annual Nakusp Conserva-tion Association Fishing Derby on the weekend.

Wright hauled in an 11 pound, 5 ounce Dolly Varden and a $1,000 first prize. Second place went to Reg Reimer at 9 lb., 15 oz.

M a y 2 0 1 2 — W e e k 4 You don’t like to pitch a fit, but if you want to be heard, that’s what you’re going to have to do. Make your stance known, Capricorn. Only then will you get the action you seek.

Attention, Aquarius. Someone close to you has something to say, and they need you to listen. A home improvement project turns out better than expected.

It’s a tall order, Pisces, but it’s not impossible. Gather your supplies and the troops and get crackin’. A report receives glowing reviews just in time.

Please, Aries. You are a go-getter, but sometimes you go too far. Keep that in mind this week as you work with others to get a project off the ground.

Stop dragging your feet, Taurus. You know what needs to be done, so do it. The sooner you finish, the sooner you can move on to something you really want to do.

Pragmatic Gemini. You’re always looking to get things done well in the shortest time possible, but sometimes just won’t work. Patience is key.

Clarify, Cancer. Make certain you are understood on all accounts this week. Leave nothing to chance. A friend drops by with an unusual request.

Bickering rarely solves anything, so put a stop to the madness the first chance you get, Leo. You will get nothing done if you don’t.

A loved one has a meltdown, and you’re left to pick up the pieces. You can do it, Virgo, and you will do it well. A new do lifts spirits in more ways than one.

Clam up, Libra, and you will regret it. Prepare to present your idea and watch the sparks fly. The to-do list nears completion with an addition.

A change in attitude picks up the pace, and the team finishes well ahead of schedule. Bravo, Scorpio. Your efforts won’t go unnoticed.

What’s that, Sagittarius? Your pleas are falling on deaf ears? Perhaps it’s your method of presentation. Be bold, and you’ll get what you seek.

THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS...





May 21– June 21

April 20– May 20


















You could be feeling under the weather this week, Aries. Even if your to-do list is a mile long, you need to take some time to recuperate before getting back to business.

Life experience is your advantage, Taurus. When your company is looking to � ll a position, they will most likely hire from within. Make the most of this opportunity.

Gemini, just when things seem hopeless, a small ray of light shines through and you � nd a solution to your problem. Scorpio has some wise words, so listen up.

Cancer, once you think you have all of the answers, something pops up to make you reassess a situation. It could take a few days for you to � nd the answer you’re looking for.

Leo, you may have fun in the sun on your mind, but others are urging you to buckle down and focus on some tasks that need to get wrapped up before you leave.

There are some changes coming at work, Virgo. You just don’t know if they will be to your advantage or be something that could tilt you off your axis.

Libra, you have much to learn, but you cannot cram it all into one week. There is no crash course on life. Make the most of a getaway opportunity.

You can’t seem to focus on one thing for very long this week, Scorpio. You might have to spend a few days clearing your mind before you can refocus on the tasks at hand.

Sagittarius, you are not one to let an obstacle block you from your goal. Rethink your strategy and you will soon � nd yourself back on the path to success.

Capricorn, changes at home are in store and you may be feeling both excited and anxious at the same time. This is perfectly understandable as you await the news.

Aquarius, vacation plans may have been elusive until now, but you � nally have the funds and the time to take the trip you desire. Your traveling partner is still up in the air.

Pisces, a new season inspires you to make changes and reconsider old relationships. Call it a late spring cleaning of your life.

BC’s three regional beetle action coalitions are sponsoring a green energy workshop Monday, June 17 at the CMH K2 Rotor Lodge.

The workshop, entitled ‘Green Energy as a Rural Economic Development Tool Project’, takes place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. and features three guest speakers well-versed in renewable resource-based energy systems

David Dubois is the coordinator for the Wood Waste 2 Rural Heat (WW2RH) project and is a nationally-recognised leader in developing biomass heating. WW2RH is led by Community Futures East Kootenay and proposes expansion of biomass thermal to fifteen percent of BC’s commercial, institutional and resi-dential energy demand by 2025.

Don Scarlett is a Kaslo-based electri-cal engineer and consultant with exper-tise in the design and construction of

small (1kW to 20 kW) hydroelectric power plants serving off-grid homes and businesses. He has consulted on dozens of small micro-hydro projects.

Dr. Marian Marinescu is the senior researcher for forest feedstocks at FPIn-novations, in Vancouver. Specialising in integration of forest product value chains, Dr. Marinescu has expertise in technical and economic studies of forest biomass energy systems in small communities in BC.

The purpose of this project is to increase rural knowledge of green energy opportunities and to develop new tools that will facilitate increased rural bene-fits from green energy development in the mountain pine beetle epidemic zone of BC.

Registration is required to attend the event. To RSVP, email Community Futures Thompson Country at [email protected]. For more infor-mation on the project, visit www.ruralb-cgreenenergy.com.

Work continues to progress on the new footbridge that will cross Kuskanax Creek at the Nakusp Hot Springs. Here, workers are constructing the wood paneling that will frame the new bridge. Construction is hoped to be completed in early July. Contributed

Family of Lynn Kalmring run their fingers across tattoos of drag-onflies they got in her memory, as they wait outside the Kelowna courthouse on Thursday as the trial ramps up for the man accused of the Penticton woman’s murder.

“We have our dragonflies in her memory because she loved them. We got them after she died and that is really all we have left, just our memories of her,” said Donna Irwin, Kalmring’s sister.

For a year and half they have been waiting for this day, albeit one that they said traumatizes the fam-ily all over again, but something they need to see through to fight for justice for Kalmring. Irwin said it is important that they sit through the details, some of which she believes will be new information to them. Another of Kalmring’s sis-ters, Maggie Leslie, agreed the next few weeks will be difficult having to relive the death of Kalmring over again, especially when the fate of Keith Wiens, the man accused of their sister’s murder, rests with a jury

“When you have got 12 strang-ers deciding the outcome of this case and they don’t know who we are, they don’t know anything about us, they didn’t know our sis-

ter, they are just going to be hearing the evidence as presented to them and be instructed how to use that evidence in their verdict,” said Les-lie. “We just hope they get it right.”

Crown counsel Colin Forsyth said in his opening statement he is expecting to call 25 people includ-ing civilians, RCMP officers and experts to the stand.

Forsyth said it was between 12:01 and 12:20 a.m. on Aug. 16, 2011 that Wiens used a 9-mm hand-gun to shoot Kalmring in the face at their shared residence in the gated community of Sandbridge in Pent-icton. The Crown told the jury evi-dence will be heard that the muz-zle of the pistol was less than 30 inches from Kalmring’s face when it discharged, and she was found by Mounties lying on her back dead in the bedroom with her left hand out and a knife in it.

“I anticipate the issue of whether it was in her hand when she was fatally shot will be up to you,” For-syth said to the jury.

The Crown said he would be calling an RCMP officer who took photographs of the crime scene and exhibits to give her observations. “I expect her to tell you that the knife came out of Kalmring’s hand with-out any difficulty,” he added.

Forsyth said officers will tes-tify that among the exhibits they seized in the home were a number

of documents found on the kitchen island and $2,005 U.S. with a ring placed on top. The 911 call placed by Wiens will also be heard by the jury. In it, Forsyth said Wiens can be heard saying that he shot his wife, it was a “big huge mistake” and “something got out of hand here tonight.”

The first witness called to testify,

Shelly Pertelson, was Kalmring’s sister and the last person besides Wiens to speak with her before she died. Kalmring had telephoned Per-telson at her home in Salmon Arm about 20 minutes prior to Wiens making the 911 call.

Pertelson said Kalmring and Wiens had joined her husband and some friends for a camping trip

in Grindrod just days earlier. She noticed some unusual behaviour from Wiens when they pulled up to the site, and she said he seemed “almost angry” at Kalmring.

Perterlson said she discussed this with her sister and found out there was some disagreement about financial matters and the fact Kalmring, an LPN, had not been working full time.

She said Wiens wanted to pay off the mortgage and bills so they could live at their Arizona property six months out of the year, and the retired police officer who had been driving a school bus was consider-ing going to Grande Prairie to make some money in the trucking indus-try. Despite being asked to stay an extra day, Pertelson said Wiens and Kalmring left on Aug. 14. She recalled Wiens saying he needed to go home because he had some deci-sions to make about what he was going to do. She said Kalmring came around giving her usual hugs goodbye.

“Mr. Wiens went around hug-ging people, which was really unusual for him. When he left we talked about how out of character for him that was because he had never done that before,” said Per-telson.

The trial is expected to last 15 days.

It says on the programme that it is time for the principal’s message, but what it really should say is that it’s time for the principal’s � nalmessage, which sounds just a lit-tle ominous, especially for me, but most of you have heard that I will not be back at Nakusp Secondary next year, and I must be honest, making this change is a little scary.

I love NSS, and knowing that I won’t be at the helm next year has cost me a few sleepless nights, and that’s before I move to the ele-mentary school. But, I’m also very excited, too, and I’m looking for-ward to the changes, and if I’m feeling this way when I’m only moving across a street, I can only imagine what these � ne young graduates are feeling about their situation right now.

Graduation is an expectation these days. It’s a cultural rite of passage that marks new begin-nings, but it is a little terrify-ing. This week at school, some-one said, ‘Oooh, there’s some-thing in the air. Everyone seems so on edge’, and usually we’d just put that down to the last-min-

ute rush and worrying about mak-ing all the last-minute details of Grad come together. But, I learned a new word recently, and I believe it best explains this something, and that word is Zugunruhe (if you can excuse my pronunciation). It’s a lovely German word that is for the restlessness birds - and I sup-pose furred animals get it - get just before migration, and I have to say it’s pretty easy right now to look at that birding analogy, especially describing getting this group to their classes on time, but I won’t go there.

This excitedness and restless-ness is there because they all know it’s time for them to make changes and for them to head in new direc-tions, and to leave the proverbial nest. And what a nest it is! This community has worked together to produce vibrant, unique individu-als - and you certainly would know that they’re unique from their foot-wear as they were walking in - and every one of the parents, grand-parents, elementary teachers, and support staff, secondary teachers and support staff, extended fami-

lies, neighbours, business owners, community volunteers, et cetera, et cetera, can take pride in know-ing that our � edglings are ready.

Whether they choose to go out and return, stay and begin the new chapter of their lives here, or head out and return only for holiday family visits, they’ve been well-prepared by a loving, caring com-munity. They are ready.

So, graduates, unlike migratory birds and animals whose destina-tions are predetermined, you have the entire world at your feet. I feel very con� dent that you will be accomplishing great things, and I also feel con� dent that we will see most of you return at some point because of your ties to this area. And if you come back, and bring all of your new skills and experi-ences, and perhaps your children with you, that would be pretty wonderful, too.

So, on behalf of the entire staff of Nakusp Secondary School, I extend our very best wishes for success and happiness. Fly and be free! Thank you.

The Principal’s AddressBy Susan Paterson

Acting Superintendent’s AddressBy Terry Taylor

Imagine.Imagine there are no limits to

what you can do.Imagine that the sky above, and

the forest and the lakes below, have cradled your creativity and nurtured your spirit.

Imagine that the skills to work powerfully as a team, an ensem-ble, have been cultivated under the con� dent support you have had in growing your individual passions and your self-directed learning.

Imagine that a community of par-ents, friends, educators, are at your back and always have been. Imagine they always will be.

Imagine that you are launching, leaving into the world strong and capable.

Imagine your love for athlet-ics, for � ne arts, for the trades, for academics, have been fostered and nourished by this school, this dis-trict, by your families and friends and community, and that now, in your own unique way, at your own pace, with your own gumption and style, you will craft a path just right with you.

Imagine those things, that they are true.

Imagine the unimaginable. Pos-sibilize. It’s your time to imagine, your time to soar, your time to cel-ebrate your success in reaching this goal of graduation from Nakusp Secondary School in School District #10. Hurrah!

Your journey thus far has been backed by this lovely and support-ive school and your marvelous ele-mentary schools throughout the dis-trict. Your journey is encouraged and supported by your teachers. your education assistant, your cler-ical staff, your principals, bus driv-ers, and custodians. It’s been sus-tained by the Board of Education trustees, your superintendents, your district staff. All of us - every one of us - are behind you and celebrate your achievement. All of us laud your next steps.

Your workable communi-ties, families, friends, and all of us in School District #10 mark your hard work, your tenacity, and your accomplishments in a diverse and personalized range of � elds.

So, NSS Grads of 2013, it’s your time to sail your next seas; to nav-igate the storms; to bask in fair weather; to possibilize and exact

your future as only you can.Now, the English teacher in me

cannot resist. Last night at the ban-quet as we looked around, we rec-ognized that at least � fty percent of the grads on this stage are sons and daughters of students I’ve taught at Nakusp Secondary. I couldn’t help but leave you all with the words of Alfred, Lord Tennyson, from his 1830 poem Ulysses. Ulysses urges his sailors, and I urge you, too,

Sail beyond the sunset, and the baths

Of all the western stars, until you die.

It may be the gulfs will wash us down

It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles

And see the great Achilles.That which we are, we are;One equal temper of heroic

hearts,Made weak by time and fate, but

strong in willTo strive, to seek, to � nd, and not

to yield.Good luck, graduates, on what-

ever sea you imagine. May you ever strive, ever seek, ever � nd, and never yield.

MAY ALL YOUR DREAMSCOME TRUE!

Mayor, Council and Staff

Valedictorians’ AddressesBy Kodi Bowman and Margaret Andrews

I know how honoured you all must feel to be here, wit-nessing the graduation of this class, also known as the smartest, funniest, most athletic, best looking, and all around greatest class to ever walk the halls of Nakusp Sec-ondary School, but enough with the modesty. It is really we who are so honored that you all could be here for us on this amazing day, and to begin with I’d like to thank every-one for coming.

I also want to thank you all for the huge role that you’ve played in our lives up to this point. It is thanks to our fam-ilies, who have housed us, fed us, provided for us all the years, and loved us unconditionally. It is thanks to the teachers who have done their best to fill our heads with knowledge that will be ever so practical - especially that calculus. They never made anything too easy for us, and never gave up on us. It is thanks to Mrs. Paterson who has looked after this class for a long time keeping us in check and helping to get all of us here today, pushing us to not take three spares – oops I mean “study blocks,” but to take courses that will actually benefit our future. Thanks to the coaches who brought out the fiercest athlete in us. Thanks to the school board and all of its employees includ-ing bus drivers, janitors, and the administration, who have kept things running. It is thanks to everyone who makes up the communities of Nakusp, New Denver, Fauquier, Edgewood, Burton. Nakusp and New Denver were equally important in my life. From Pre-School in New Denver, where I acted like a blender without a lid, to my time in Nakusp Secondary where I acted like a blender with a lid, you have all provided us with the most amazing opportu-

nities, and the strongest support network we could have asked for. It’s thanks to you – our amazing Big community - that we are all standing here today.

The other key component of growing up has been friend-ships. I’d say that a solid portion of school has been spent just talking to our friends. Some of us go way back to the time of toddlers, others we’ve met throughout the years and some have joined us or rejoined us only just recently. It has been a time: for making friendships, fighting over dumb things and ruining those friendships, forgiving each other and forging them again. By now we’ve all realized each other’s faults and learned to forgive them; recog-nized each other’s weakness and been there to give sup-port; found each other’s strengths and encouraged them to grow. We’ve also made many great memories that will stay with us forever.

The one memory that will stay with me forever was in grade 11. Our grad class was inside, sitting in the hall-way by the lunch room when Nathyn stood up after notic-ing an anomaly in the wall. The wall looked very weak and almost concave. So I was called over, and as I walked up to investigate this curious thing, my brain told me to do something really stupid, which I now fully regret.

So instead of using my fingers to check out the anom-aly; I gently stuck out my foot. My foot then disappeared from sight into the wall; everyone’s jaws hit the ground. Laughter came from everyone especially from Brett – strangely enough he always seems to be present when I get myself into trouble. Everyone was saying “You should go tell Mrs. P right away. If you don’t, you will be in big trou-

ble.” Because I most definitely was.I took my friends’ advice and I explained to Mrs. Pater-

son about the wall. After a “lovely chat in the office” and a $250 construction bill the wall was fixed. The lessons I learned that day were about honesty and accountability. These two personal values go a long ways when it comes to community, family and friends, these are values we will all need for the rest of our lives. I am lucky I could learn these from being a Nakusp Secondary student.

Grads, as you look back on today, I hope you remem-ber it as one of the hardest days of your life. Not because you’re having to sit and be on display for what seems like 12–13 hours, but because you are graduating from this awesome school and will be moving on.

Today we say our thank you’s and congratulations, we shake hands and give hugs, and as we walk off the stage at the end of the ceremony some people may not be able to hold back the tears – and that’s just fine. However, let’s try not to cry too hard. That’s right I’m looking at you Mom.

As I go I will leave this thought“A real friend will always get you in trouble, and out of

trouble, they will laugh at your mistakes and be there for your

heartbreaks.They will pick you up when you can’t stand and will sit

you down when you won’t listen. My real friends are my classmates and that’s what they forever will be.”

Thank you,Kodi Bowman

They say that high school is this big maturation pro-cess. You come in as a kid, and leave as an adult. But despite how calm and collected I may appear, today I am still grade eight Margaret on my first day of high school, only today I get to wear this neat hat, and instead of my first day of high school, it’s my first day of ‘real life’. Maybe that’s what growing up really is, putting on your adult face when confronting the uncertainty that is the future. And this really is a scary day. I’m scared, the Grads are scared and even Kodi is scared too. We are all scared because after today, we aren’t going to be taken care of anymore. We’re at the point where we have to take responsibility for own lives.

But with all the fear, comes even more excitement. We are ready to be moving on with our lives. We have matured more than we know during our time in school. From our days as little tykes scattered throughout the valley at Glenbank, the Southern Zone, and New Den-ver where we gave each other swing-set twisters and strummed our ukuleles without a care in the world, to elementary school when we were still caught up in our own fantasies and where some of us discovered the allure of minor vandalism, earning us the title of the worst grade ever. And then to high school where were always trying to be older than we were, and thought we knew all

there was to know. We’ve all grown up since then, and, despite how great these years have been, I know that they are not the best years of our lives. Instead, they have pro-vided us with a great foundation that will help us to make the rest of our lives even better.

And I’m not actually that worried about us going out into the world. We may just be human beings, but human beings are really, really cool and capable of so many things! I learned just the other day that a human being has the physical capacity to out run the fastest ani-mal, simply because we have the ability to sweat. But what’s even cooler about humans is that we have awe-some brains. The more I have gotten to know this class, the more I think, ‘what a great bunch of brains they have’. We don’t always use our brain that’s true, but when we do, we are capable of thinking some remarkable thoughts and have accomplished some incredible things. I mean we’ve already learned how to walk and talk, and it doesn’t get much harder than that. All we have to do is find something that we love, and then just do it, because that is where the brilliance of the world comes from. Some of us have already found our passion and are well on the way. For others, it may take a little longer, but I know are all capable of achieving greatness

Sometimes I wish I was born during an great histori-

cal period, hundreds of years ago, on a great big galleon ship, sailing the darkened seas, discovering new lands, or even just a few decades ago wearing my polyester white suit to the disco. But more and more I’ve been think-ing about how amazingly lucky we are to be alive dur-ing these incredible times, when people are preparing to head to Mars, and we have these tiny little cell phones, and we have the internet, which can access the vast bank of human knowledge in an instant, and sometimes I use it to look at cute pictures of cats. We have the tools, and the opportunities that no one has ever had before. We all get to be part of an extraordinary moment in history whether we are part of the first expedition to Mars or making babies. Every decision we make, we are not only defining our own lives, but also our generation. I’m so excited to see what this class will do.

In closing, I would like to say to my fellow grads, you guys are the best.

And I speak for everyone when I say, “It’s Been Great!”

Thank you, Margaret Andrews

The Mayor’s Address

It’s my pleasure to come here and welcome you and to bring you greetings from the Vil-lage of Nakusp and Village Council. It’s my honour and my privilege to do this.

To me, this is probably the best public gath-ering that we ever have. I’ve never seen any-thing anywhere that quite matches this - all the friends, family, neighbours, and just the com-munity in general coming here to congratulate students and move them on their way.

Last weekend, I went for a walk around town and I happened to pass by the arena and

run into one of the parents, and asked them what they were doing and if they were here to decorate for the grads, and they said yes; that’s exactly what they were doing. I said, ‘What have they chosen for their theme?’ and they said it was an outdoor theme. I thought that would be a good idea. Living in Nakusp, the Kootenays, I can’t think of a more appropri-ate theme.

So, I kept on walking, and I went past the soccer fields and there was soccer going on. I thought that was pretty cool, and then I went past the Bonnington and I noticed that there was a band playing in there, and I kept on walking, and I see what an exciting commu-nity this is if you take the time to walk around and find out what’s going on.

Then, I started thinking about the theme and how I was going to deal with the theme that they chose. I just happened to be picking up stones as I walk along, like seashells on a sea-shore. I started picking up a few stones, and I started think how our lives are – like stones. And, so, I thought maybe I could talk about that without putting the grads into a coma.

I looked at the stones that I was picking up and I noticed that no two stones are alike. Some have rough edges, some have smooth edges. Some are big, some are small. Some are glitzy, some are just flat. I think those are like the types of people we meet through our lives, and that’s my message to you, grads; that you’ve met all sorts of different people around the school, and when you go out into that world to go to school, or take jobs, you’ll meet even more people that are different than you are. Some will be good, some won’t be, but you can learn a lesson from these rocks.

By Karen Hamling

Nakusp Mayor Karen Hamling prefaced her address by having the graduates pass around a bag full of stones. Each stone in the bag was unique, symbolizing the uniqueness of the graduates themselves. Arrow Lakes News

Good afternoon, graduates. I have been given this honour of bringing greetings from School District No. 10 (Arrow Lakes).

As I look upon the stage, our planet’s future leaders and caretakers sit before us. As we gaze upon their faces, we not only see, but we feel,

their intense eagerness and their anticipation as we prepare to pass our keys to the opportunities that lay before them.

There is some trepidation that we see in their tentative steps to meet their calling. They are stepping away from the comfort and security of home, family and friends, and school.

Now, as I look upon the audience, I see a mir-ror image of those on stage. I see and feel you show your intensity, and the trepidation in the eyes of parents, friends, family, teachers, and support staff.

In a smaller community such as ours, we are so intertwined and invested in the future of these young adults, these graduate of ours. With a nervous hand and a weeping heart, we must release you. We must let you go and blossom into the individuals that we have mentored you to become; the individuals that you are meant to be. Open your eyes, your minds, and hearts. the future is yours for the making.

Before I close, I would like to leave you with these thoughts on a meaningful life. A meaning-ful life is not being rich, being popular, or being highly educated, or being perfect. It is about being real, being humble, being strong, and being able to share ourselves and touch the lives of others. It is only good that we can have a full, happy, and contented life.

Congratulations to all of you, grads.
