Local golfer Dugan McInnes has swung himself into qualifying for the BC Summer Games and will be traveling to Nanaimo to compete against top golfers from around the province.
The summer games are a bicentennial
event that has been roaming between 38 B.C. host communities since
1978. The games’ mandate is to provide an opportunity for top-notch competition amongst young athletes while promoting interest and participation in sport, individ-ual achievement and community develop-ment.
Individual golfers and four–person teams will represent eight different zones around
the province. The competition will involve tally-
ing each team’s three lowest net scores over the course of two days of golf, and medals will be awarded to the top three teams.
McInnes earned his spot on the mixed zone team by competing in a qualifying circuit in the west Kootenays and will join Ethan Paton of Salmo, Jeff Ashton from Birchbank and Christina Lake golfer, Jordan Field.
McInnis is excited to have the opportu-nity to participate on the provincial stage and is “hoping for some half decent results,” he stated.
A golfer since the age of four, McInnis was encouraged by his parents to pick up the game.
“It’s kind of a family thing” he stated, “they helped me with my appreciation for the game. It is such an easy-going sport,
more mental than physical, and I enjoy get-ting the chance to meet and golf with new people.”
McInnis developed his game here in Na-kusp and has worked with golf pro, Scott Al-lan who “developed my swing and got me to the point where I could drive the ball a fair distance,” he said.
McInnis also acknowledges the men-torship he has received from Logan Marchischuck and sites participation in Lynda Henke’s golf program as an impor-tant root of his development.
The BC games will be held July 17-20 and are generally celebrated as a once in a life-time opportunity for young athletes.
Nakusp to be represented at BC Summer Games by Dugan McInnes
A representative of BC Hydro occupied the Seniors Building on Wednesday evening and displayed poster boards crammed with information describing current op-erations and future initiatives.
This was a stray from previous public sessions that were primarily lecture–based and included an open question session at the end.
“I think it is helpful for people to see the charts and pick them apart generating specific questions and comments” Sabrina Locicero, BC Hydro’s stakeholder engagement ad-visor, observed.
Community members were free to roam the open space and engage with the BC Hydro service and operational ex-perts.
The conversations generated by the group focused on addressing concerns regarding a core set of environmental and recreational issues.
Molly Bell, member of the Columbia Basin Revitaliza-tion Coalition urged, “we need the shoreline, we need the riparian zone for wildlife, we need the environment back.”
The desire for BC Hydro to commit to mid pool lev-els, that would hold the water at 1425 feet, was repeated throughout the discussions.
“There are a lot of opinions and the management is very complex” Locicero commented, and added, “we want to in-form people so they are aware of what has happened and what upcoming forecasted levels will be as well as connect with experts who can answer their questions.”
Locicero identified that each community that BC Hydro meets with has a different set of concerns. For example, Nakusp tends to focus on boat ramps, birds and fish while the conversations in Meadow Creek revolve around mos-quito populations and in Castelgar the questions are con-cerned with discharge rates.
When asked how BC Hydro addresses the variety of unique regional concerns, Locicero sited the water use plan that was developed through public consultation as
the document that outlines the company’s obligations of use.
In terms of electrical service Locicero highlighted BC Hydro’s system improvements, specifically, the plan to complete a distribution system upgrade, which includes a system voltage conversion to a higher class.
The adjustment seeks to double the available capacity in Nakusp and potentially identify system deficiencies.

The M.V. Columbia, B.C.’s newest inland ferry, is now in service, replacing two 40-year-old vessels on the route between Shelter Bay and Galena Bay on Up-per Arrow Lake.
The M.V. Columbia can transport 80 vehicles and 250 passengers. The vessel has wider lanes and im-proved ramp transitions for faster loading and un-loading. The sailing time is about 20 minutes.
In 2012, the Province signed a $26.5 million con-tract with WaterBridge Steel Inc. to design and build the new inland ferry. The vessel was constructed in Nakusp, providing employment for
approximately 65 workers from across B.C. over the last two years.
The M.V. Columbia is more fuel efficient and pro-duces fewer emissions than its predecessors. It also in-corporates enhanced main-tenance technology that will result in a high level of reliability. The vessel was designed to enable under-water visual inspections, eliminating the require-ment to lift the vessel out of the water every five years for an inspection. The ves-sel’s equipment and systems can be fully serviced from the car deck or inside the vessel.
The name ‘M.V. Colum-bia’ is representative of the location of the ferry, as the Arrow Lakes are widenings of the Columbia River. The
name also commemorates one of the first Columbia River sternwheelers, the SS Columbia, launched in
1891.For information on B.C.’s
inland ferries, visit: www.th.gov.bc.ca/marine/Inland
M.V. Columbia begins service on Upper Arrow Lake
July 4, 1924 July 1 attracts record crowd
to Lake Metropolis. From the early hours of the morning, the town was awake and very rap-idly appearing in gala attire. E. Buhl was awarded the prize for the best decorated residence and A.L. Building Supply won the best decorated business. The 11 o’clock parade was led by the outstanding military figure of Col. Hambin, mounted on a fine horse.
July 5, 1934 The Dominion Day celebra-
tion, Nakusp’s big annual event, was most successful despite the inclement weather which seems to be the fate of Nakusp on all festive days. However, all events were held as planned and prize winners were: 6 and under - S. Horrey, O. Hoy, 8 - Gladys Ol-sen, C. Picard, 10 - T. Johnson,
C. Picard, 12 - B. Davidston, Ol. Buerge, R. Kerr., 14 - Olga Steenhoff, R. Hoy, Monica But-lin.
July 6, 1944 Dominion Day was celebrat-
ed in Nakusp this year as usual. The day started off at 10 a.m. with children’s sports and a ball game at 11 a.m. A flag raising ceremony under the direction of the Women’s Institute was held at 1 p.m. About 30 children were directed in a patriotic parade and flag drill. The boys and girls were dressed in white blouses and blue slacks or shorts, while each carried a flag of one of the United Nations. They were fol-lowed by a group of nine chil-dren representing the British Empire. They marched to form a semi-circle around the flag pole where the United States flag and the Union Jack were raised.
July 2, 1964 Bob Samuelson, a Celgar
chokerman in the Fosthall op-eration, lived a spine tingling 4-5 minutes last week. He was the target of an angry cow moose protecting her week old calf, while it was tangled up and stuck in some felled timber and branches some 20 feet away from him. When Bob heard the mother cow snort, he dove under some felled trees. The moose attempted to bite him and pull him out from under the logs. Luckily the calf broke free, and mother and calf walked off towards the timber.
July 3, 1974 Debbie Schmidt of Fauquier
was crowned Queen of the Ar-row Lakes during July 1 activi-ties in Nakusp, with Leslie de-Gans and Sherry Hanson as her attendants.
July 11, 1984 On July 6, the CPR was or-
dered to continue rail service to Nakusp. The announcement was made by MP Lyle Kristiansen. A one day hearing at the Legion Hall on May 2 saw Kristiansen and other concerned citizens tell Transport Commissioners that the rail line is needed by area businesses and that future development could be hindered if CP were permitted to aban-don the line.
July 6, 1994 Nakusp crowned its first (in
two years) Queen of the Arrow Lakes, Dana Weatherhead, at a standing-room-only crowd, at the Arena Auditorium. 1992 Queen Suzie Sundstrom passed on the crown to the excited Weatherhead. First Princess is Donette Lancaster and Second Princess is Charlotte Fraser.

Development Variance Permit Application
An application for the re-duction of property lot lines from five feet to three feet was presented to council for re-view during Monday’s meet-ing. The property in question is situated within a residential zone, which requires side lot lines of five feet, however the landowner has applied for a development variance. Ac-cording to the application procedures notice of intent was distributed to neighbour-ing properties. Responses to the bylaw adjustment request raised concerns about the potential congested look of relaxed lot lines that would affect property values and al-ter the character of the neigh-bourhood.
Councilor Hughes weighed in by stating “I think five feet needs to be firm unless there is a significant reason because for no other reason than the convenience of the side of the building why would we not say yes to other requests?”
Councilor Duchaine added that if council remained com-mitted to the five-foot bylaw then the homeowner still has building options within the building bylaws, and the house will inevitably go up.
Council decided to deny the development variance as requested.
Canadian Vintage Motor-cycle Group
The Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group has pro-posed a return to Nakusp to host their second Motogiro event in September 2014 and is seeking council support. Last year’s gathering was a success for the motorcycle group, however inadequate advertising failed to inform community members of the event and led to the miscon-ception that the hot springs road was closed to all public traffic for the duration.
Chief Administrative Of-ficer, Linda Tynan, penned a letter to the event organizer, Dave Marshall, in August 2013 outlining the caveats for council’s support; guar-antee unrestricted emergen-cy vehicle access, adhere to a
maximum allowable delay of half an hour for public traffic to and from the hot springs and implement an improved advertising strategy.
Marshall has submitted documents outlining his group’s plan to consent to the council’s requests, and has proposed that the event take place between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. on September 15. Council passed the motion to support the Motogiro event as submitted.
Stop SignCouncil reviewed a request
from a community member to remove a stop sign from private land located on the corner at 88-5th Ave. SW, Nakusp. Several options were presented to council regard-ing the stop sign, but removal was the recommended solu-tion of staff.
“It is an alleyway” Tynan stated, “it is not very common to see stop signs in alleyways and this one serves no pur-pose.” There are two alleyway stop signs in the Nakusp mu-nicipality; the other one is lo-cated adjacent to Shon’s Bike and Ski Shop.
Council decided to pass the motion to remove the stop sign as requested.
Budget VarianceChief Financial Officer
Robert Richards presented council with the Consolidated Budget Variance to June 18, 2014 which details a compari-son of budgeted versus actual expenditures of Village opera-tions. Richards reported that there were no significant vari-ances in the report, “we are al-most halfway through the year and all of our actual values are within our expectations.”
The Budget Variance also highlighted capital projects, notably the Million Gallon Reservoir upgrade contract has been awarded to a win-ning bidder, the water treat-ment plant has started its two week commissioning pro-cess on June 23, and a new monitoring tower has been installed at the public works yard. Some areas of concern include a delay in repairing the Nakusp Arena’s shower-ing facilities and ongoing is-sues regarding connectivity between the Village Office and Public Works.

Nakusp Council Meeting June 23, 2014
With an occasion that only comes around on the first of July the chances are always pretty good that a good time will be had by a good many. That’s the story with Canada Day. It’s tidy too, because the hockey playoffs are wrapped up and the football season has barely gotten off the ground.
The best part of our patriotic focal point is that – whatever city, town, village or hamlet we may call home – we all get together to whoop it up. We share cuisine, art, the news we may not have had a chance to share in the past year, and even some red and white face paint.
This is Canada Day and there’s a good reason committees get such a head start on planning it every year.
Here’s a bit of history for anyone who wasn’t around or out of diapers around 30 years ago:
“On July 1, 1867, Canada became a self-governing dominion of Great Britain and a federation of four provinces: Nova Scotia; New Brunswick; Ontario; and Quebec. The anni-versary of this date was called Dominion Day until 1982. Since 1983, July 1 has been officially known as Canada Day.”
If you found that interesting it sets the stage for the following suggestion.
By the time Canada Day rolls around next year, why not do like some of the rest of us and make it a point to learn an interesting fact from our history. Heaven knows we’ve got enough to check through even though it’s well under 200 years. It’s a habit we can borrow from our southern neighbours, and one that many of us can make some good progress with. For exam-ple, how many Prime Ministers come to mind when we really put our minds to it?
Louis St…. who?There will be no quiz, just a fun way to think
of Canadian stuff each year on the day that Canada itself is in the national spotlight.
Sure, most of us know about John Diefen-baker (‘The Chief ’ to his supporters), 13th Prime Minister who’s term in office was from 1957 to 1963. Louis St.?
Laurent, of course!
Dief was the Chief... but who was Dief?

On Saturday June 21, the Royal Ca-nadian Legion Branch #20 of Nakusp held a BBQ. I had company from out of town and as we drove past, we decided to stop in and get a burger. � e BBQ was cooking away and everyone was so friendly. Not only did they have burg-ers and hot dogs but a whole line up of condiments, salads and dessert.
My company was shocked and pleased to see what our Legion does to say “� anks” in our little town. Our hats o� to all of the people who volun-teered their time to make this a success and thanks to all of you for showing people your spirit and dedication.Jackie DoyleNakusp

“Once upon a time…” Review
A lone figure walks through a shadowy wood, nervously checking over their shoulder. Suddenly, the lights in the Bonnington Theatre go out and a terrify-ing scream cuts through the darkness. The mystery is un-derway.
Who’s Afraid of the Dark was the 2014 drama pro-duction performed by the Nakusp High School Drama Class during two engage-ments on June 9.
This year’s production is unique because Grade 12 student Celeste Gingras penned the original script and the entire production (under the supervision of drama teacher Patrick Mag-ibbon) was orchestrated by high school students.
The dark and witty mys-tery revolves around the strange disappearances of fairytale characters and
opens with a debate by the storybook villagers regard-ing who is to blame.
Wild accusations fly back and forth in a Crucible style blame game until it is decid-ed that a group should travel to the city to petition the King and Queen for profes-sional help.
“This is not a quest” as-sures Jack, (from Jack and the Beanstalk portrayed by Jessica Jones Hanna) “this is just a walk to get to the city to find someone to help us.”
Along the way the group of hopeful fairytale villag-ers encounter a mysteri-ous and violent woodcutter, who threatens Red (Rid-ing Hood) played by Kalya Laplant and in the ensuing chaos separates her from the group.
Red meets up with her fairytale counterpart, the Wolf (coolly played by Ben Gardner), and the two travel along to the city together.
Meanwhile Red’s fellow
travelers, Jack and Char (short for Prince Charm-ing) are kidnapped by the “Princess Bandits” who have plans to use the two fairytale gentlemen as bait to catch the villains.
All roads and all travel-ing groups eventually reach the sought after city where it is revealed that the King and Queen are actually the Mad Hatter and The Queen of Hearts from the Wonder-land world (played by Lee Coats and Katherine Zerath respectively).
They have forced their way into the land of fairy-tales to drain locals of their essence in an attempt to stay young and empowered forever. A showdown takes place between the travelers and the villainous King and Queen and during the scuf-fle Sleeping Beauty (played by Ivy Tourand) appears to fall dead, giving the fairytale creatures the upper hand in the battle.
Char, charismatically played by Conner Scambler, proceeds to burn the dra-matic ham with a brilliant, sobbing speech confess-ing his love for the Sleeping Beauty and attempting to re-vive her with loves’ true kiss.
Once the villains have been dispatched back to Wonderland to stand trial for their crimes, Jessica Jones Hanna appears omi-nously centre stage as Death to comment on the preced-ing action.
Echoing Puck’s famous soliloquy at the end of Mid-summer Nights Dream, his haunting and riddled speech analysis the characters’ at-tempts to change their na-ture while sympathizing with the plight of the villain-ous King and Queen.
The speech climaxes with an apocalyptic vision of cookies rising up against their baking masters and ends by posing the question, can people really change?

Music in the Park is back again this summer and cel-ebrating 17 years of music.
� e event takes place ev-ery Wednesday evening in July and August from 6:30-8 p.m. and features many local and basin musicians.
� e � rst evening is July 2 with Shirley Weatherhead and her Karaoke machine. Shirley has been providing Karaoke in the community for several years and it is al-ways a fun evening. People don’t have to get up and sing, as they are just as welcome to come out, watch and enjoy. However, the real fun is the participation aspect.
July 9 brings Darlene Ket-chum Quartet – Darlene Ketchum (vocals) and her husband Kelvin (keys) along with Gerry Teichrob (bass) and Allayne McGowan (drums) perform a selection of classic jazz, soul, R&B and gospel tunes as well as some originals. In� uenced by the soul/gospel and funk singers of the 1970s, Darlene’s warm and clear vocals � nd their home in melodic freedom supported by rich chords and laid-back groove.
On July 16, the area’s very own 23 North performs and
it is an evening that is full of great songs that will de� -nitely get people up and dancing. Where else, but Na-kusp, can you � nd your local plumber strumming a guitar and singing along with an auto parts guy (or whatever he’s doing these days).
Mountain Station is a new band for us and they play blue grass, roots, folk and country. � ey will stir your spirit with their soul-ful ballads and toe tapping rhythms. � ey perform on July 23.
July 25 is the Kootenay Savings Children’s Night with family entertainer Mat Du� us. Rue the Clown will be there with her costumes and there will be books and stu� ed toys to take home. Goodies and lots of fun will be the theme of the evening.
Aug. 6, our band teacher Patrick MacGibbon and friends will be performing some jazz numbers for us and then the all girls band Formal Chaos will play the second half of the program with a music mix. You don’t want to miss this evening.
Darryl & Saskia are back with their folk and roots mu-sic on August 13. � eir voic-es blend beautifully together and they have played here many times. Back by popu-
lar demand, they are always a crowd favourite.
Steve Palmer will be per-forming his country roots music on August 20 and has been performing for us for over 10 years. Steve is a su-perb guitar player and has a resonant voice that soothes the soul. He sings his own original music as well as many cover songs.
� e summer program ends with a group called Dirty Laundry. � ey are a local band and you need to turn up to see who they are. � ey will perform a mix of music to bring to a close a great summer of music.
We will be at the gazebo in the park unless it rains or storms and then you need to look for us in the Arena. � e program is free and Kathy will be making and selling juice and collecting dona-tions to help cover program costs.
� is year’s sponsors are Rec. Commission #4, Colum-bia Basin Trust Community Initiatives Funding (thanks for voting for us); Kootenay Savings Credit Union, K2 Rotor Lodge (they provide the rooms for the entertain-ers), Overwaitea Foods and Hamling Lakes Contracting.
See you Wednesday eve-nings – rain or shine!

Sixty-third in a se-ries on West Koote-nay/Boundary place names
� ere are two Fairviews in West Kootenay: the Nel-son neighbourhood, which we’ll deal with later in this series, and the subdivision on the west side of the highway between Genelle and Castle-gar.
� e Regional Dis-trict of Central Koo-tenay’s earliest plan of the latter is from 1966. Its streets in-clude 201st Avenue plus Jesse, Hetman, Fairview, and Pou-pore roads. (Poupore will also be taken up later in this series.) Its status as a com-munity unto itself is thanks largely to a “Fairview Unincor-porated” sign. It’s not recognized in the BC Geographical Names database.
FORSLUND� is sternwheeler
landing south of Nee-dles on the west side of Lower Arrow Lake was named for Capt. Albert Forslund (1864-1938) who ar-rived from Sweden in 1890. For many years he piloted the SS Rossland and Minto and also oper-ated a large orchard and farm.
FOSTHALLFosthall is the
name of a local-ity, bay, creek, point, and mountain on the west side of Upper Arrow Lake, north-west of Nakusp.
Its earliest use was in George Dawson’s Report on a Portion of the West Kootanie [sic] District, Brit-ish Columbia, dated 1889: “At about 22 miles from the head of the lake, on the west side, Fosthall Creek comes in …”
In March 1907, A.H. Green and F.P. Burden surveyed
the Fosthall “valley lands” for the Ca-nadian Dominion Development Co. of Winnipeg. It didn’t amount to much, although a few at-tempts were made to plant fruit trees.
� e name’s origin is a mystery.
In Pioneer Days of Nakusp and Arrow Lakes, Kate John-son claimed Fosthall “gets its name from a clerk in the em-ploy of the Hudson’s Bay post there in the early days of white settlement. Founda-tion timbers of old buildings were seen around 1890 be-tween the present house and the creek at the south end of the bay.”
Un f o r t u n a t e l y, Johnson didn’t pro-vide any sources, and in First Nations Eth-nography & Ethno-history in BC’s Lower Kootenay/Columbia Hydropower Region, Dorothy Kennedy and Randy Bouchard
say they were unable to � nd any reference to a post at that lo-cation or any em-ployees named Fost-hall in Hudson’s Bay Company’s records. (� e late Bill Laux suggested there may have been a trading post there that didn’t belong to the com-pany.)
Fosthall, by that spelling at least, is a very rare surname.
Kennedy and Bouchard noted that on an 1866 map, surveyor Walter Moberly gave the name of Fosthall Creek as naghtuous, while two years later, James Bissett, a chief trader with the Hud-son’s Bay Company, recorded it in his di-ary as nauchteaux, “which clearly are at-tempts to transcribe the same indigenous name.” � ey believed it was an Okanagan-Colville term derived from n7axwt mean-ing “downstream; go downstream.”

The Happy Forager
A10 www.arrowlakesnews.com Wednesday, July 2, 2014 Arrow Lakes News
Community
I am a very strong believer in “Let food be thy medicine” and one of my goals in recent years has been to better learn how to “forage” the wild food around me.
My interest began when my family and I moved out into the woods near Trout Lake. Having to drive into town to purchase any-thing, especially perishable food was quite a chore. With my first exploration into the woods I realized how much edible food grew in abundance around me. Not to mention it was free, more nutritious than anything I was going to buy at the grocery store, and always a fun adventure with the kids.
From that point on I never left our cabin without a few plant identification books in my backpack. Even then, considering the plethora of plant life in our forests, I would be stumped on identifying certain species. So needless to say, I am a beginner at this and if you would like to get into foraging, I would encourage you to get expert advice on what to pick, and what not to pick.
Nutrient rich nettles are perfect for harvest-ing right now in our area and are very easy to identify. If in doubt, you can opt to touch it and if you feel a sting and a small welt arises, you have confirmation. They thrive in the same conditions as blackberries and can often be found competing for territory with them.
Nettles are the highest plant source of iron and protein, they also contain very high amounts of Vitamins A, C, D, E, and K, ribo-flavin, thiamine, calcium, magnesium, silicon, sulphur, copper, chromium, zinc, cobalt, po-tassium and phosphorous. Some sources claim that some of the health benefits of stinging nettle are stabilizing blood sugar; enhancing the operation of the circulatory, immune, en-docrine, nervous, and urinary systems; reduc-ing fatigue and exhaustion; reducing allergic and menopausal problems; and eliminating chronic headaches.
Here are some harvesting guidelines to fol-low to ensure our plants will survive and thrive.
1. Do you need it? Harvest with a purpose in mind, not just for the fun of it.
2. Harvest only as much as you will use.3. 1 in 20 rule. It is okay to harvest a plant
if there are 20 others available to maintain the population.
4. Leave Grandmother alone. Allow the big-gest and best plants to remain so they can con-tinue to propagate the healthiest population.
5. If the plant is a home to critters, leave it be.6. Harvest with a clean cut so the plant will
heal well.7. Only take 1/3 or less of an individual plant.8. Avoid polluted areas.9. Offer appreciation and bring positive en-
ergy to your harvest.
10. Never put anything in your mouth un-less you are 100 per cent sure it is safe to ingest.
You may harvest nettles from the time the new leaves emerge from the ground until flow-ering. Some people believe that during and after this stage the nettles can form bladder stones, and can be harmful to the urinary tract and kidneys. So I shall err on the side of cau-tion and recommend that you harvest prior to flowering until reliable and replicable evidence to the contrary becomes available. Most im-portantly make sure you are covered from fin-gertips to toes if you don’t want to get “stung”. When collecting the nettles, pick or cut the top 4-6 inches of the plant. The top bud and first leaf set of a very young plant will be sufficient as this ensures lateral bud growth, causing the plant to become bushy.
To process your bounty of goodness, lay the leaves out on a clean surface for a few minutes allowing the critters a moment to escape. Then if using right away, rinse leaves and stems un-der cold tap water and double check quality.
I recommend using tongs or gloves when handling. If not using right away, the leaves will store in a bag in the vegetable drawer of your refrigerator, unwashed, for at least 3-4 days.
If you would like to dry your nettle for tea, there are many options, be creative. You could hang them, use a dehydrator, or my favorite is on a meshed screen in the sun. Resist the urge to reach in and stir them up as they can still sting you while they’re moist. Once they are dry they are much safer to handle, however the hairs can be irritating to the skin or give you a sliver.
Your hard earned harvest is ready to store in a glass jar when the stems snap and the leaves are still green in color. Stinging nettle can sub-stitute for spinach or kale in any cooked recipe and will lose their sting within 30 seconds of cooking. You can add them to lasagna (my fa-vorite), make pasta with them or throw them in soups or stews. Online recipes abound.
Vibrant food is our best medicine, as is the outdoors, so happy foraging!

First Responders Appreciation Dinner
The Royal Canadian Legion, Branch #20 decided to launch the B.C./Yukon Legion Week with a community BBQ on June 21 and end with a dinner honoring Na-kusp’s First Response teams on June 28.
The dinner was organized as an opportunity for legion members to serve those who dedicate their time and efforts to serve the com-munity.
Legion week events were made possible by funds acquired through BC Gaming under the auspice of giving back to the community and raising awareness about the legion’s presence in Nakusp.
Legion president Harvey Truax welcomed the honored guests and offered his thanks “for all of the
service you give us in the commu-nity. Without you people we would really be in dire straits.”
Mayor Karen Hamling also spoke highly of the first respond-ers.
“As first responders you put a lot of your heart and soul into this community and a lot of time and hours and I want to let you know that we appreciate each and every one of you and everything that you do for us. On behalf of the village I thank you,” she stated.
Food was in no short supply as the members of the Nakusp Legion rolled a feast out of the kitchen and attended to their guest’s every pos-sible culinary need.
Once everyone had his or her fill (and then some) the Castelgar mu-sical team That Girl and Earl took over the stage and delivered a lively set of pop, rock and country tunes.

Something special about Nakusp
If your budget is currently stretched tightly, as it is for many of us on occasion, it will likely be a good idea to bone up on the Prop-erty Tax Deferment Program, which exists to serve residents of the Nakusp region as well as all other qualified applicants sta-tioned throughout the province.
If you are a BC homeowner aged 55 years and over who is seeking a way of delaying pay-ment of your annual property taxes on your principle residence, it may be well worth checking out eligibility criteria prior to filing your application.
To begin with, note that not only the homeowner but also the surviving spouse of any age may
benefit as well as a person who has been designated by the Ministry of Social Development and is reg-istered as having a disability.
In this case, an applicant with a disability would be required to supply a disability certificate form completed by their physician, demonstrating that the applicant may be eligible to take advantage of this program.
Deferred taxes are paid by the Province to the taxing authority (Village of Nakusp, other munici-palities if applicable, or a provin-cial collector), on your behalf.
It is essential to take into ac-count, however, that the deferred property taxes along with the interest must be repaid to the Province, and if applicable, an administration fee. For more in-formation including the disability form and other eligibility criteria, drop in to the Service BC office (located across from the Nakusp Community Bus service office) for helpful in-person assistance.

CommunityArt Walk gala kick off
Dust off your summer kicks and don your best cultural hat; the Nakusp Art Walk is officially underway!
The Arrow Lakes Fine Art Guild (ALFA) kicked off the Nakusp artistic ex-hibition with a smart and refined gala event at Selkirk College on June 27.
Guests from the com-munity were invited to mix and mingle with the artists of the art walk while enjoy-ing delectable edibles from Gabbie’s Fairy Tale Café as well as a selection of Jenni-fer Chocolates.
The soundtrack for the
evening was provided by a lineup of talented Koote-nay musicians, who crafted a tranquil sound space for the celebration. Paul Gib-bons (also known as Gar-banzo) ushered guests into the college with his interna-tional sounds crafted with a kalimba (an African thumb piano) and a traditional In-dian bansuri flute.
Rudy Gorazon followed with his acoustic guitar set and Don Guerete closed out the gala with his sensa-tional guitar picking selec-tion of familiar easy rock tunes.
Anne Beliveau, propri-etor of Studio Connexion, assumed the role of MC for
the evening’s festivities and unveiled the official ALFA Art Walk brochure that was developed by Debra Rush-feldt and Betty Fahlman.
Beliveau applauded the ladies’ efforts and re-marked, “they worked real-ly hard to create a brochure that would stand out with the quality of the artists and venues of Art Walk.”
The stylish brochure identifies all of the artists and their venues by use of an illustrated map of Na-kusp and includes thumb-nail samples and artist bios.
Interested patrons of the arts are invited to take a self-guided tour of the rich tapestry of local talent on
display for the duration of July and August.
“Our goal is to promote visual arts in Nakusp” Be-liveau proudly shared, “which has the potential to become a tourist destina-tion with a cultural focus.”
Beliveau also took the opportunity to thank all of their sponsors who made the art work possible.
“We would like to thank The Columbia Basin Trust, Kootenay Rockies Tour-ism, Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance and the Regional District of Central Kootenay. Money was used for the brochure, poster, markers, plus tonight’s cel-ebration and curators.”
