Training Hawks cause a stir in Upper Arrow Lake

What’s that up in the sky? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Well, it’s a plane with a bird’s name, a jet plane in fact.
Just after noon on Sunday, April 28, two fighter jets were seen flying north over the valley, an uncommon sight in the skies above Upper Arrow Lake.
Captain David Lavallee, Public Affairs Officer for the 2 Canadian Air Division out of Winnipeg said the jets were a pair of CT155 Hawks from the 419 Squadron. The Hawks were training craft on a cross-country training flight giving their pilots the experience of different terrain.
The planes that caused a brief stir on Sun-
day returned back to 4 Wing Cold Lake, Alberta, the busiest fighter base in Canada.
“It’s part of normal training,” Lavallee told the Arrow Lakes News, explaining that pilots often fly over different parts of the country as part of their education.
What were they looking for? “You can’t see much,” said Lavallee,
commenting that the high speeds of the craft make it difficult to see much other than a blur during flight.
What about chem trails. Were the planes dropping chemicals?
After a quick description of chem trails to Major Steve Neta, he said the planes were “absolutely not” dumping anything into the skies from the jets.

Two training jets from Cold Lake, Alberta, got people talking around town when they flew the length of the valley from south to north.
Treeplanters bring silviculture to the mountains
It was a cool clear morning at the Inter-for office in Nakusp. Interfor’s David Jack-son and Sylvia Warrantz from Summit Lake Service were getting ready to head out to a cut block near Cape Horn off Highway 23, the “North road.” Tree planting season started mid-April, and although the sun had finally arrived, temperatures have been bob-
bing between freezing and early 20s over the course of a day.
In the office, Jackson goes over safety guidelines and hands out gear: high-vis vests and hardhats just in case winds whip up and blow trees over or a truck in reverse doesn’t see the reporter for the trees. Just in case.
“So they can see you coming,” Jackson says, “and so you don’t get backed over.”
Greenpeaks Resource Management are the contractors responsible for planting the trees
out at Cape Horn, and the 23 planters work-ing at various sites in the area. With six or seven locals living in town and others who live just down the valley, the crew is a mix of tent dwellers and residents. Most keep com-ing back to work with Greenpeaks.
“People like to work here, they like the camp,” Jackson told the Arrow Lakes News.
The crew is a mix of young “newbie” planters and diehards, with an average day’s earnings around $250, although there is so much variation due to weather, landscape conditions, tree prices as well as planter expe-rience that an average is hard to pin down.
Planters get paid 18 cents for each tree they plant on this particular block, and the price will vary depending on the nature of the planting. Fill planting – filling up small areas with a few trees – or tough terrain prices are higher because fewer trees are planted.
The tree species planted varies according to elevation and site. At the Cape Horn block, there are six types of seedlings being put in the ground on an area covered with debris, aka slash. In the old days, the majority of slash was often burned but now more debris is left on site. Retained slash helps seedlings not only by returning nutrients to the ground but also by reducing competition, moderat-ing temperature and conserving moisture in the ground, said Jackson. As we drove down the road winding through the block, the slash looked like a silver layer of bleached tree
limbs that covered most of the ground.Scott Lemkay, one of the foremen,
approached across what looked like a land-scape devoid of people. Under growing clouds, Lemkay and Jackson discussed how many planters were working invisibly in the block (around eight), and how long they were likely going to be there. The politics of hav-ing dogs along came up too (they’re great if they know how to handle themselves around bears, elk and the like, not so much if they eat unattended lunches).
Between 1.2 and 1.3 million trees will be planted by the local division this year, and over a variety of terrain. The Cape Horn block is situated on a rolling 32.8-hectare piece of land, but other spots are steeper with more slash and other challenges. Some sites, particularly those at higher elevations, are prepped with machinery to create mounds of raised dirt that give the seedlings an edge for survival. Each site has different growth poten-tial, said Jackson, and the Annual Allowable Cut – and therefore the reforestation figure – is based on that growth potential.
Forestry companies have an obligation to replant, Jackson said, one that they take seri-ously because they recognize it is their future they are tending. Most forest tenure licens-ees are conscientious and are prompt with

West Kootenay candidates meet in Nakusp for public forum
Around 100 Nakuspians attended the all-candidates forum on May 2. Originally slated to be held in the Seniors’ Hall, it was quickly seen that more seats would be needed, so the event was moved to the Nakusp Arena Auditorium.
Moderator Pat Dion started the forum with these questions for each candidate: what is the most important issue in your view, and what are the main challenges in the riding.
Independent Glen Byle from Trail started off, stating that voter apathy is the biggest issue and the overbur-dening of the healthcare system the main challenge in the riding. Castle-gar-based Jim Postnikoff said jobs and economy were the most impor-tant issues, and getting people on the same page in the region was critical. NDP candidate Katrine Conroy said the forest industry and a sustainable economy is still what is important in Nakusp and the area, and listed health-care, seniors, education, the environ-ment and rural issues as being chal-lenges. The independent from Nakusp, Joseph Hughes, identified free rep-resentation in government as impor-tant and keeping families in the area, and loss of sovereignty over water as being challenges in the area.
Glen Byle said he wanted to get the people’s voice heard in Victoria, and proposed a technology-driven system that would allow greater democratic engagement by citizens.
Jim Postnikoff, a former millwright and business owner and operator, said his focus was to create jobs and keep the economy moving forward.
Katrine Conroy said she wouldn’t make promises she couldn’t keep,
that the issues her party was focus-ing on were making possibilities for skills and education, taxation on large corporations not small business and addressing child poverty.
Joseph Hughes said he felt govern-ments were no longer responsible to the people, bringing up the Columbia River Treaty and how it has benefitted agriculture in Washington state to the detriment of farmland up in B.C.
The first question from the audi-ence was about a Compensation Equity Act proposal which would seek to level the pay scales of government employees with their private sector counterparts.
Joseph Hughes: “There’s an impressive disconnect between pub-lic employees and others.” He gave the example of the MLA severance of a year’s salary given to MLAs who were not re-elected as that disconnect. He was in favour of legislation.
Katrine Conroy: She wasn’t sure where the disconnect was, and would focus on raising the wages of low income earners. She defended the MLA severance, saying a lot of the money goes back into communities.
Jim Postnikoff: “Bureaucrats don’t have easy jobs.” He agreed with Con-roy, but added a core review of salaries after the election would be a good idea.
Glen Byle: He asked why private wages were so low, and stated that companies siphon money from com-munities to shareholders.
School Board Trustee Patty Adam asked the candidates how they would make predictable and stable funding available for school boards.
Glen Byle: Taxpayers need to have more input on where funding goes, more say on where their tax dollars go.
Jim Postnikoff: An improved econ-omy will mean stable funding, no
more debt should be taken on by the province.
Katrine Conroy: All school districts are different and rural districts need different funding. The Liberal government aban-doned rural B.C.
Joseph Hughes: Government should empower communities to find solutions and work with communities to find solutions.
What is the opinion of the can-didates on a fixed link at Beaton?
Joseph Hughes: Supports a fixed link, and believes a bridge needs to be part of the plan for growth in the region.
Katrine Conroy: Will commit with BACA and community to make their voice heard in Victo-ria.
Jim Postnikoff: A bridge is a must; how we get it is unknown but it is the thing to revive the area. Why has it not been brought up before, he asked.
Glen Byle: “I have a guar-anteed solution: hold the 2020 Summer Olympics in Nakusp. You’ll get all the infrastructure you need.” He commented that the ferry ride was nice for tour-ists although did get frustrating for residents.
What are the candidates’ posi-tions on the Columbia River Treaty?
Glen Byle: People need to be aware of local issues, and if they are interested, he will push for what they want.
Jim Postnikoff: The treaty needs to be negotiated with an increase in compensation as well as environmental considerations such as fish ladders.
Katrine Conroy: A good strong voice is needed at the table. Downstream benefits go to Victo-ria and not to the Basin, but the NDP have worked and will work to bring more back to our area.
Joseph Hughes: Water is now held under NAFTA and we are obligated to provide it to the U.S.; this needs to be changed so Canada has sovereignty over its water. Water levels need to be sta-ble, and the treaty process needs to be a public conversation.
What do the candidates think about the declaration of the Sinixt as extinct and the giving of land in the Wensley bench area to the Ktunaxa?
Joseph Hughes: It was a sur-prise, and an example of local people not being involved or informed about decisions that affect them. Conversations need to bring all parties to the same table. The land gift was a surprise to some first nations and seemed to coincide with election time.
Katrine Conroy: It’s ridicu-lous that the federal government have declared the Sinixt extinct, and the timing of the incremen-tal treaty signing land over to the Ktunaxa is suspect. The land has the potential for industrial usage but could now be caught up in a protracted legal battle.
Jim Postnikoff: If DNA evi-dence exists that there are Sinixt still living, then their ruled extinc-tion can be overturned.
Glen Byle: Not informed on issue, but is dedicated to getting people informed on issues like this.
Would the candidates allow an opt out option for smart meters?
Glen Byle: Not everyone is for smart meters, and they don’t need to be forced on people.
Jim Postnikoff: People should have a choice whether or not to have them.
Katrine Conroy: Hydro did not follow proper procedure and go through the BC Utilities Com-mission. “We are telling peo-ple if you don’t want it, it can be removed. You can opt out.”
Joseph Hughes: There are problems with opting out, such as moving into a place that has a meter installed, but supports the opt out option. People should be allowed to choose.
What are the candidates posi-tions on the flooding of Site C?
Joseph Hughes: Opposed to it; it is a big solutions with big con-sequences when smaller solutions can be found. Better tech and local industry are better solutions.
Katrine Conroy: It doesn’t need to be built. Class A farm-land that will be needed as cli-mate change progresses will be flooded. It would be better to ret-rofit the Duncan Dam for energy production.
Jim Postnikoff: Site C is cru-cial to support the liquid natural gas sector. The energy sector up north will pay off long term debt taken on to build the dam.
Glen Byle: He admitted he was undereducated on the issue, but recognized the need to get peo-ple educated about issues like this one.
What do candidates think about GMO (genetically modified organism) labelling?
Glen Byle: Not fond of GMO, because once it’s allowed, it’s dif-ficult to control. It’s up to people if they would like to see labelling or not.
Jim Postnikoff: “Don’t like ‘em.” Labelling for all GMO products.
Katrine Conroy: Disappointed that Alex Atamenenko’s private members bill didn’t pass. Would like to see labelling.
Joseph Hughes: In favour of GMO labelling.
What do the candidate thing of providing local timber licenses and the environmental oversight of licenses?
Joseph Hughes: NACFOR is an excellent example of local oversight. The removal of infra-structure from environmental assessment is disturbing.
Katrine Conroy: NACFOR is an example of a well-man-aged forest. An inventory will be made of woodlots to rectify any problems with BC Timber Sales. There aren’t people out doing environmental assessments any more, and they are needed.
Jim Postnikoff: Local timber licenses are a must. “Those local timber licenses translate into jobs, and jobs are what we need to keep moving forward.”
Glen Byle: “I know this one.” Keep it local and keep it small.
What about decriminalization or legalization of marijuana?
Joseph Hughes: In favour of decriminalization, with controls like the ones on alcohol. “It could be a big benefit for this commu-nity.”
Katrine Conroy: In favour of decriminalization, although it is a federal matter. It would allow the largest agricultural crop in B.C. to become public revenue.
Jim Postnikoff: “I’m a man of not many words.” Would work for what constituents want.
Glen Byle: Promise to make it impossible for the govern-ment to ignore issues people want addressed.

Voter’s faith restored by independent
Editor,“The vote is the most power-
ful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down the walls of injustice.” -Lyndon B. Johnson
All parliamentary members are bound by the social contract; to serve and protect the well-being and best interests of the peo-ple they are governing first and foremost. Society in turn, agrees to provide the government with privileges and status, based on a trust that these people are com-mitted to upholding their ethical responsibilities.
Tragically, over the years, so many of these respected members of our society have broken that trust, betrayed the people, suc-cumbed to greed and persuasion. They’ve ignored the ethical obli-gation that is within us all.
Now, too many of us have lost our fidelity in the very fibre of our civilization. So many of us have given up. I know I had.
This election will be the first in all my years as an eligible voter that I’ve ever had any faith at all in a candidate. This is the first time I’ve felt confident that my
vote truly does count!I know with all my heart and
mind that Joseph Hughes is for real. What you see, what he says, is what you get.
Thank you so much Joseph for standing up for all of us, for offer-ing yourself to be our voice.
I trust you, I believe in you. By voting for you, I’m voting for me, my family and everything that I cherish.

Smart meter delay to end soonEditor,Citizens who are intending
to keep their non wireless watt-hour meters need to have their meters locked down, posted and the required notifications to BC Hydro completed.
The installation delay will end shortly after the election of the new government. We had hoped that the major political parties would have promised a full mor-atorium to allow a sober second look at the technically troubled smart meter program. There has been nothing from them; how-ever, this does give more time for getting ready to face the install-ers.
BC Hydro realized they had a problem in our valleys when it was demonstrated that the smart grid disables locally owned WiFi internet services. This was a clear
violation of the non-interference provisions of Industry Canada rules as stated in the RSS 210. That is why they called for the delay until their technical team could deliver their message to the service providers later this month.
There are two ways to pro-tect yourselves from this inva-sive and dangerous technology. If you intend to protect your law-ful rights as a private person then you can find out more about an old provision of the Common Law called the “Claim of Right” at: http://bcfreedom.wordpress.com/2013/01/11/phase-1-doc-uments-to-help-prevent-smart-meter-installs-in-b-c/
If you are a strong willed per-son or don’t like the above exact-ing administrative process you may choose to use the CST/Coalition documents which can
be found here:http://www.stopsmartme-
tersbc.ca/.Smart meter refusers should
be prepared with correct state-ments to use when Hydro sends a succession of officials to attempt your re-education. Citizens should keep copies of all Hydro documents and record everything that happens in a way which can be useful to the court.
If you are uncertain about how to proceed, get help from one of the many people in our commu-nities who are fighting industrial tyranny in our valleys.
There is nothing quite like the taste of freedom won with focused intent by defenders of our fragile world.

Our view of the future shapes the present
I’ve always been somewhat fasci-nated with the future. In fact, some of my favourite science fiction—Back to the Future, Star Trek, and the like—deals with the notion of time travel. Even in church, I remember hearing super-detailed sermons based on the book of Revelation about what future events would look like. I obsessed over books and movies depicting the battle of Armageddon or explaining how some country or other allegedly fit into prophecies about the end of history.
Our culture is no less fixated on future events. Environmentalists’ dire warnings about the impending doom of climate change are starting to be taken more seriously. Technol-ogy writers tell us that we are in the midst of an innovation explosion that may rival the Industrial Revolution—we have become accustomed to expo-nential growth in the abilities of our digital devices. Perhaps 3D printers will make Star Trek replicators a real-ity soon, so that like Captain Jean-Luc Picard we will be able to tell our smart kitchens “tea, earl grey, hot,” and be obeyed. Never has the future seemed simultaneously as bright and as dark.
How we view the future can have a profound effect on how we act in the present. Some future-obsessed Chris-tians have steeled themselves for the
Apocalypse to such a degree that mere earthly concerns have been dismissed. Why get involved in politics, save the planet, or undertake any major endeavours that will just be destroyed in the calamities of the End Times?
On the other extreme, when we believe that the march of technolog-ical and social progress is leading toward an inevitably bright future, we may be more apt to invest heavily in the present. In this way, we seek to participate in that progress and reap its rewards. An exaggerated belief in such unrelenting progress led inves-tors to bet billions of dollars on the “next big thing” of internet compa-nies at the turn of the century. Many of those investors lost their billions just as quickly when the bubble burst.
As with many areas of life, a healthy attitude toward the future means avoiding either of these extremes. Sol-omon’s Proverbs encourage us to be prudent in preparing for whatever the future may bring. Jesus warned his disciples against “false prophets” who would claim to know about the End Times and the return of the Messiah. He encouraged them to always be ready for his return by observing his teachings faithfully.
In other words, we must not count on knowing the future. We can know about the past, and we are experi-encing the present, but no one really knows about the future. It doesn’t really exist until we get there. While it may be interesting to speculate—and make for some great movies—we can get off track with an unhealthy obses-sion over it. Therefore, we must strive to live well in the present and not hold too tightly to the things of this world that can pass away.
But if they come out with one of those Star Trek kitchen replicators I’m still getting one.

Bogging the Burton flats with dust a nuisance for residents
Editor,As typical, the month of April
has brought showers and windy conditions through the Arrow valley. While many of us wel-come the spring rains, not so, as far as the winds blow.
Historically, winds at this time of year have proven to be problematic, especially for Burton residents and highway travellers alike. While reser-voir levels are low, high winds swirl dust from the flats reduc-
ing highway visibility, irritat-ing eyes and throats, generally heightening allergies for local residents. It makes a supreme mess of homes and vehicles.
In order to alleviate this problem, BC Hydro in partner-ship with the Fish and Wild-life Compensation Program initiated a grass seeding pro-gram for a portion of the Burton flats many years ago with mea-surable success. Miraculously, the grass thrived through ele-
vated water levels just to reap-pear the following spring sea-son. The dusts resided and the flats were eventually designated as an environmentally sensitive area with several informative pictorial signage posted by local volunteers asking to respect the flats. Burtonites felt a sense of accomplishment.
That success has been short lived however. Thanks to a years-old tradition of coming to Burton to bog, this ongoing
thoughtlessness, short sightedness and complete disregard by several enthusiasts mind bent on destroy-ing our collective achievements by bogging the flats during spring long weekends is deemed as an inherent right to have some fun, apparently.
Enter the provincial dragon with signs posting “No mud bog-ging,” with fines attached for viola-tors. However, within the past few years these signs mysteriously dis-appeared and guaranteed, they were not removed nor destroyed by Bur-tonites.
As expected during the recent Easter long weekend, locals once again witnessed a dozen or more fun-seekers park their motor homes, campers and trailers on the flats establishing their presence by doing their stuff on motor bikes, ATVs and pickups – bogging across the allu-vial fan, criss-crossing the creek, and of course, getting stuck.
In response to complaints by locals of non-compliant activities, it became apparent the dragon had no teeth. Being the long weekend, the only jurisdictional compliance offi-cer was off duty while the local blue and white’s response was “it’s a For-estry thing, we have a limited staff on call for the weekend and I’ll pass it along to the others.” This response should really put a smile on the bog-
gers’ faces as they once again plan for the upcoming May long week-end.
At question: Will the smiles con-tinue while Burtonities express envi-ronmental concerns for destroy-ing collective efforts to eliminate site specific dust storms and related ill health effects? Will the value of tax dollars spent on seeding or risk destroying downstream migration of depleting juvenile Bull Trout con-tinue to excite the select few? Will planning a weekend continue to subject the community to days of noise from out-of-towners and risk the consequence of being fined as a result of being Observed, Recorded and Reported?
Although bogging the flats has become traditional, Burtonites have become more environmentally aware and collectively more edu-cated about the negative effects on natural habitats resulting in the envi-ronmentally-sensitive designation.
Times change and with new infor-mation about the effects humans are having on sensitive areas, habits must also change. This coming May long weekend will tell whether tra-ditionalists can change as well.

Canada is ready for a transformative energy experienceSome people think a
widespread shift from fos-sil fuels to cleaner energy sources is not practical or even possible. You’ve probably heard the argu-ments: wind doesn’t always blow, sun doesn’t always shine, the technology’s not advanced enough, instal-lations take up too much space, we need sources of baseload power that can only come from fossil fuels or nuclear power. And so we carry on, rushing to squeeze every last drop of oil and gas from the ground using increasingly difficult and destructive methods, with seemingly little concern for what we’ll do after we’ve burned it all.
A lot of research is
challenging those skepti-cal assumptions, including some by the David Suzuki Foundation, working with the Trottier Energy Futures Project.
“Canada has vast renew-able energy resources in the form of hydropower, solar, wind energy, and biomass, as well as geothermal, wave, and tidal resources that are many times larger than cur-rent or projected levels of total fuel and electricity consumption,” the recent Trottier report, “An Inven-tory of Low-Carbon Energy for Canada,” concludes.
Those findings are con-firmed by research and experience elsewhere in the world. A study by engi-neers at Stanford University reports, “it is technically and economically feasible to
convert New York’s all-pur-pose energy infrastructure to one powered by wind, water and sunlight,” and doing so “shows the way to a sustain-able, inexpensive and reli-able energy supply that cre-ates local jobs and saves the state billions of dollars in pollution-related costs.”
An article in the New York Times points to research by the Paris-based International Energy Agency showing thirteen countries got more than 30 per cent of their electricity from renewable energy in 2011.
The Stanford study’s lead author, engineering profes-sor Mark Z. Jacobson, told the New York Times: “You could power America with renewables from a technical and economic standpoint. The biggest obstacles are
social and political — what you need is the will to do it.”
The biggest obstacles in shifting to clean energy may be social and political, but one of the greatest chal-lenges is creating a “smart” electricity grid. As Trot-tier Project managing direc-tor Ralph Torrie says, we’ll have to replace our anti-quated grid with one that “will use information tech-nologies to balance a wider range of supply sources, energy storage, interprovin-cial transfers of electricity and a wide variety of energy management and efficiency tools.” Because the current system is due for an over-haul, now is an ideal time to invest in reconfiguring it.
Other challenges include the costs and the impacts of renewable energy instal-
lations on ecosystems and wildlife. And with biofuels, the sustainability of source materials and effects on land and food supplies must also be considered. But these are far from insurmount-able. Fossil fuel and nuclear power sources are also extremely costly and have far greater environmental impacts and many studies show that moving to renew-ables creates jobs and con-tributes to economic health.
The recent Trottier study looked at Canada’s potential in the context of reducing energy-related greenhouse gas emissions by 8o per cent by 2050 – a necessary tar-get if we are to do our part to combat climate change. Reaching that target will also require becoming more efficient in the ways we pro-
duce and consume fuels and electricity. This means look-ing at our individual behav-iours as well as considering our societal habits.
Sure, it will be a chal-lenge. But the alternative – to carry on polluting air, water and soil and putting our future at risk with global warming – isn’t pretty. We’ve faced and overcome many challenges before. When people have mobi-lized resources in the past, we’ve been able to accom-plish a lot in relatively lit-tle time – from defeating the fascist threat in the Second World War to putting people on the moon.
Finding smarter ways to power our societies is some-thing we can and must do.

British Columbia adds new area code: 236In response to the increasing
demand for new phone numbers in British Columbia, The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommu-nications Commission (CRTC) is adding a new area code to all of B.C.
Beginning June 1 the new area
code, 236, will ensure B.C. resi-dents and businesses continue to have enough phone numbers.
Individuals do not need to change their existing phone num-ber, and in areas where there is still a sufficient supply of 604, 778 and 250 numbers they will con-tinue to be given out as long as they are available. Where they are
no longer available or where a cus-tomer chooses, after June 1, peo-ple and businesses receiving a new phone number may get one with the 236 code.
Timing and availability of phone numbers with the new area code will vary by community, depending upon the local inven-tory and demand.
The geographic boundaries that govern long distance calling will not be affected.
To ensure a seamless transi-tion to adding the new area code, 236, businesses are encouraged to begin making any necessary changes right away by reprogram-ming communications systems and equipment. For example, busi-
nesses that restrict long distance calls will need to reprogram their equipment to accept the 236 area code as local.
Residential customers will not need to make any changes to their equipment.
Three-digit numbers such as 211, 311, 411, 611 and 911 emer-gency services will not be affected.

Human Rights Tribunal ruling a tribulation for apology seekers
Although a long-awaited ruling last week from the BC Human Rights Tribunal must be bitterly disappointing for mem-bers of the Doukhobor group known as the New Denver Sur-vivors, it is hardly surprising.
The group claimed discrimi-nation in the provincial govern-ment’s response to an ombuds-man’s report suggesting they deserved an apology and com-pensation for being removed from their homes as children in the 1950s and sent to a New Denver residential school.
But their case was severely
hamstrung by the resignation of their lawyer on the eve of the tribunal hearing, for rea-sons never made public. Even if they’d had professional repre-sentation, I’m not sure the out-come — the complaint was dis-missed — would have been dif-ferent.
The case didn’t revolve around their mistreatment as children, but instead the gov-ernment’s dealings with them between 2000 and 2004. Among other things, a monument of sorts meant to commemorate the injustice was considered an affront by some. (It lies semi-finished in New Denver, with-out anything to explain its sig-
nificance.)The tribunal adjudicator con-
cluded that while she sympa-thized with the complainants, she could not find they were dis-criminated against on the base of race, ancestry, or religion.
What’s sad is how all of this probably could have been avoided with a mere apology. This, former attorney general Geoff Plant insisted in his tes-timony, was impossible for lia-bility reasons. (Legislation has since been introduced allowing government to apologize with-out exposing itself to lawsuits.)
“The value of a sincere apol-ogy cannot be underestimated,” the tribunal adjudicator noted.
greg nesteroffBlack Press
Those Survivors who haven’t already given up are still waiting for
one, probably in vain.
What’s that sound? Is that, perhaps, the squeal of a thou-sand pigs being simultaneously barbequed, like a regular Texan Saturday? Or is it the nails of a giant teacher, scratching across a chalkboard made of the broken dreams of the indentured slaves known as “students?” Or is that the sound of tires screeching, as legendary outlaws Bonnie Eliz-abeth Parker and Clyde Chest-nut Barrow approach Nakusp at breakneck speed?
As you may have guessed due to the improbability of the first two, it is the last. The Zone Fes-tival is careening this way, and as part of it, Nakusp Secondary School’s presentation of “Bonnie and Clyde” the classic, if embel-
lished, story of murder, escape and comedy. Not quite the regular fare of a high school drama class, but, make of that what you will, it’ll be worth it. There’s nothing like a little crime spree to spruce up any old event, right?
Of course, the Zone Festival won’t just be any old event. As explained in a previous article by Janet Royko, there will also be plays by Mirror Theatre and the Revelstoke Theatre Company.
“The Fantasticks,” taking place the next day as well as May 17 and 18, is a story of two fathers who attempt to get their children married. Of course, hijinks ensue: it is the rule of such things. Prom-ising to be the light, fluffy note before the shuddering bass drop of “Fuel,” The Fantasticks has had a very long and successful run as a Broadway production. With a
veteran local company like Mir-ror Theatre at the helm, it seems destined for success. Here’s hop-ing it lives up to its name.
The last production, tak-ing place on May 11, “Fuel” is a much more serious story than the last two. While the first is a comedy adaption of a very seri-ous crime spree, and the second is a light-hearted tale that could be equated to a warm towel, or a halfway decent romantic comedy (if that exists), Fuel is the
dramatic tale of a man’s strug-gle with addiction.
That concludes my rundown of the performances on offer, and if that didn’t whet your appetite, I don’t know what will. So come on down to the Bonnington, May 9 to 11, and enjoy yourself some theatre, partner.

Hear the Cromoli pitch for power and for laughs this election season
As the election debates heat up, a new duo join the race and offers some comic relief in a satirical play by Lucas Myers.
Another brilliant offering from Nelson’s theatrical tour de force, Lucas Myers is coming to the Sil-verton Gallery on Saturday, May 11. Myers is known for his ability to portray multiple characters in
his one-man shows. His writing is often shrewd social commentary and satire, and very funny. But he also shows a tenderness for his inventive off-beat Kootenay char-acters.
With his latest play, Lucas brings back the Cromoli Brothers, and this time they are running for office! The Cromoli bid for power is written and performed by Lucas Myers and special guests.
Myers has this to say about the play: “The Time has come. After recent events in the world infra-structure and global economy caused by grotesque greed and power-hungry jerk pants, the Cro-moli Brothers have decided that enough is enough.
They have decided to take mat-ters into their own hands and are officially announcing their bid to become Supreme Leaders of the
World. Who better to lead us into a new
age of peace and good times than the fun loving Dynamic Vaude-ville Duo: The Cromoli Brothers? No one’s better! vote once, vote often, vote Cromoli!”
They will be spreading their message during a Kootenay Tour which will be making a stop at the Silverton Art Gallery on May11 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 and
available at the door. The Brothers will reveal their
platform and discuss, with the help of a ukulele and various other small hand-held instru-ments, what makes them the right choice to bring our entire world into a more peaceful, happier, and brighter future with less human suffering and cholesterol.

Formerly the Kuskanax Lodge
replanting, he noted, but there are instances when areas are deemed not satisfactorily replanted, and licenses suspended and fines levied as in the Meadow Creek Cedar case.
Jackson said the case was “unfor-tunate” and that he was concerned all forestry companies would be painted with the same brush. Interfor has high standards, he told the Arrow Lakes News, and ensured they remained high by having third-party audits check their work.
Checking was the reason for being out in the Cape Horn block. The qual-ity of the planting is continually checked throughout the season.
“The contractors knows what they’re doing,” said Jackson, but he and Sylvia Warrantz check to make sure everything is copasetic.
Jackson and Warrantz play the part of ‘tree police’ on the block: Warrantz runs test plots to check for planting quality (depth, location, straight roots, etc.) and density.
In an area planted by Steve Bialkowski, she runs her tape and measures distance between the trees
and checks to see how and where they’ve been planted. Trees that have the moss kicked away and the area around them “screefed” and are in a protected location have a greater chance of surviving.
“Stumps, humps, and bumps,” said Warrantz, giving the credo she learned when she was planting trees. Each tree’s microsite is chosen to the best it can be while maintaining the right distance (minimum 1.4 metres) away from its seedling neighbours. Snow can move slash over the little trees, another consideration for planters put-ting thousands of trees in every day.
Flashing their orange vest and let-ting know the planters their work is being paid some attention keeps peo-ple positive, said Jackson, that their work is appreciated. And the checkers aren’t the only ones who care. There are planters who come back to see how the trees they helped put in are doing years later, said Warrantz.
Just then, a storm blew in and grau-pel covered the ground. For the next 10 minutes, winter had returned until the pea-sized snow pellets melted away.
Bialkowski, the planter whose plot

was being checked, loves the job. He’s been doing it for 20 years, and because he lives in Rossland, he’s able to commute home on weekends.
“It’s way better than a regular job,” he said, stand-ing grinning amid the graupel, “when the weather’s nice.”
The seasonal fun outdoor active life is what keeps drawing him back to the work, and the great people
he works with. “There’s a contingent from the prairies that
comes out every year,” he noted. More planters have made their way back to the
road. One of these planters is Helen De Wit from Nakusp, planting for her second year. Yesterday she had reached a personal best of 1,275 trees.
“I’m still the rookie though,” said De Wit, although she added, “anyone planting less than me, it looks bad on them.”
Running another length of cord for a test plot, Warrantz was impressed with what she saw in De Wit’s area.
“Helen’s a really conscientious planter,” she said. “She has a good species mix, she’s put cedar in the wetter ground, she kicks away the hinged moss. She plants a good tree.” Starting with good technique is important, Warrantz pointed out, as speed will
increase and good habits will stay, and well-planted trees means a better survival rate.
Around a meandering creek, a line of trees stood out against the flatness of slash. The trees are left for stability around riparian zones, the checkers said. Further up on the mountain, trees have also been left along caribou migration corridors, said Jackson. Wildlife and waterways are part of the calculation when determining what trees become lumber and which ones are left where they are.
Trees are checked a year after they are planted, and then again after five years. At that point, they are assessed to see if brushing – clearing out competing species – is needed. Ten years after being planted they are checked again to see if they are free grow-ing, then handed back over to the government.
Jackson would like to see harvest to harvest stew-ardship of forests, but recognizes the risk a forestry company would be taking on if they were responsi-ble for the 60 to 80 years it takes a forest to develop. One forest fire could wipe of decades of investment.
Forestry companies are also on the watch for invasive species like Scotch Broom or Chokecherry that can quickly fill up a block and out-compete lit-tle planted evergreens. But there’s hope. Even with all the variability and wicked weeds, the trees can hold their own once they find good purchase.
“Conifers are good at outcompeting once their established,” said Jackson. Great news for the trees and people working to get them in the ground.
Sylvia Warrantz points out a well-planted tree. Claire Paradis/Arrow Lakes News

Fauquier cleans up spectacularly this spring
More than a dozen people turned out for the Fauquier community cleanup this year, and major progress was made on the Oak Street curbs and boulevards.
Rob Forsen was kept hopping to direct all work made possible by heavy equipment – no wheelbarrows needed. Ray Kula once again donated truck, trailer, and skid-steer for fast loading and dumping of material, and when he was joined by Alan Devlin things really raced along.
Other volunteers scraped and raked the persistent weeds and rock debris from winter snowplowing and were able to just push everything onto the road, no lifting required, for the machines to scoop up.
It was a Fauquier community day: fuel was donated by J&S Snacks, the Community Club provided lunch, and FVFB Chief John Banta, who can always be relied on to man a BBQ, grilled up the hot dogs.
Unfortunately no heavy equipment could get into the two large flower beds so Annette and Roberta along with several intermittent helpers had to muscle their way through the war of the weeds. When things warm up their hard work will yield some colourful results for all to enjoy. Rob’s organi-zation kept everything perfectly on track and the result of the day’s work reflects very well on all the hard work-ing volunteers.

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.

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.
Aries, you may feel like you need to move faster to get ahead, but the opposite is true this week. Slow down and focus on the details and you will bene� t.
Taurus, though the � rst few days of the week may seem disastrous, hang in there and you will � nd things will turn around quite quickly.
Gemini, sometimes you have to make some noise to be heard, which may seem out of character for you. If the cause is that important, you will do what is necessary.
Cancer, you can’t get enough of a certain thing, but you may need to pace yourself. Otherwise your interest may start to wane. A surprise situation arises on Thursday.
Leo, there are things you need to say to a particular person in your life. But you do not know how to express your opinions in a way that’s easy to understand. Speak from the heart.
You may be feeling a bit under the weather this week, Virgo. It’s likely due to you pushing your schedule to the limits. Schedule some recovery time for yourself.
Libra, you need to rely on someone this week for a big project, but you don’t know who to choose. Make a list of your best prospects, and then you can narrow it down from there.
You can use a break from the daily grind, Scorpio. It might be time to plan a getaway. You may want to make this a solo trip so you can fully recharge.
The truth can sometimes hurt a bit, Sagittarius. But a dose of honesty this week provides the reality check you have been needing. Make some changes.
Capricorn, an event this week gets you � red up and excited. It could be the news you have been waiting to hear from work or from a signi� cant other.
Aquarius, knowing when to keep quiet can be dif� cult, especially when you suspect something is off-kilter. This week you will be put to the test.
Pisces, the week may begin somewhat aimlessly, but things will all come together quite quickly. A travel opportunity may present itself, you will need to consider it.

Thank YouWe would like to thank the staff of the Arrow Lakes Hospital for their care following Gary’s recent accident at our summer house. Dr Goranson and the nursing staff: your prompt care and quick action in sending him to Vernon made a big difference in the outcome of his surgery and recovery. He is at home mending well, with minimal side effects from his fall.
A special thank you to the girls who took care of Lucy until someone could get there from Revelstoke to pick her up. You went above and beyond! We will be down to see you as soon as we can.
Finally, thank you to the BC Ambulance attendants for their speedy and “oh so comfy” ride to Vernon.
We are very appreciative of all you did. The kindness and care shown to us will not be forgotten, God bless you all.

Soccer, blue skies and serious playing for Nakusp Cougars
Nakusp managed to put last week’s weird weather behind them and brought out bluebird skies to frame some stellar soccer action at the Nakusp Invitational Soccer Tournament. Junior and senior soccer teams from around the province visited Cougar ter-ritory to try and vie for footy glory, pitting their guts against each other in a flurry of bouncing ponytails and colourful cleats.
The Nakusp senior squad, coached by Rhonda Palmer and Jay Gardner, began the tourna-ment with the challenging task of fighting through Ft. Saint James and Oliver to reach the top of their pool. In the first match the Cougars battled hard to main-tain a 1-1 draw against Ft. Saint James.
The determination of our girls forced the game into a shoot out,
and Kailee Reimer proved the quality of her mettle by turning away three out of five blister-ing shots from the penalty mark. Kaliee’s solid performance com-bined with our shooters success at finding the corners of the net earned the girls a big confidence-boosting win.
The next game against Oli-ver quickly developed into the “Cougar Show” as the girls fell into a cohesive style of play and became unstoppable with crisp solid teamwork. It was certainly a thing of magic to watch the seniors come together as a squad with speed complimenting agil-ity, as Nakusp continually found gaps in the Oliver defensive line. Ellen Weatherhead contributed to the 4-1 stomping by finishing off sweet through-ball passes from her teammates, earning herself a hat trick.
With the pool won, the Cougars moved onto Saturday’s matches
starting with a bout against Kim-berly. Kimberly earned their spot on the pitch against the Cougars by beating Ashcroft and Trail in their pool. Teamwork was pitted against teamwork and Nakusp found themselves outplayed, fall-ing to Kimberly in a dishearten-ing 4-0 loss. Kimberly moved on to play Rossland in the final and battled their way to first place in the tournament.
Nakusp faced off against Cres-ton for a third or fourth placing and quickly found themselves in a street fight of a match. Each team ran their hearts out, but it was Creston that managed to find the back of the onion sack for a 1-0 lead. In the second half Nakusp dominated the play and pressured the ball into the offen-sive zone, but could not finish on any of their chances. At the whis-tle the sore remained at 1-0 and the game was lost. Nakusp earned a fourth place finish.
The Cougars, both Juniors and Seniors, worked hard during a recent home tournament. Below, a corner kick has the attention of a local audience. Claire Paradis/Arrow Lakes News
By Ryan Willman, Athletic Dir.Special to the Arrow Lakes News
The senior girl squad had a hell of a weekend and proved the convic-tion of their moxie by playing through adversity and injury to produce an outstanding footy performance. The girl’s development as individuals and as a team continues to grow as experi-
ence and determination mold the Cou-gars into a cohesive unit. The girls will have a chance at redemption next week when they travel to Osoyoos for the last tournament before the Koote-nay playoffs.
