arrow lakes news, july 30, 2015

CJHQ 107.1 FM � e Arrow is the local community radio station with enough edge and chutzpah to take listeners on journeys outside of the typical bubble gum pop com-fort zone. � ey might occasionally wake you up with some metal in the morning (ei-ther by mistake or design), but it gets you out of bed and it’s a price worth paying to hear music that is decidedly in and out of the mainstream and programming that is uniquely local.

On the other hand, � e Arrow isn’t like some college radio station obsessed with trying to out-cool your ex-boyfriend’s indy record collection. � e Arrow is in a class all it’s own and a� er 10 years of sail-ing airwaves of tribulations and triumphs, � e Arrow has received a landslide of good news, and change is on the horizon.

Chris Ewings has been heroically man-ning the helm of � e Arrow and has kept

it a� oat through 10 years of uncharted wa-ters. Dedicating more than a few volunteer hours working out of the veritable broom closet space that houses the broadcasting equipment (generously donated by the Ar-row Lakes School District and the Colum-bia Basin Alliance for Literacy) Ewings has been kicking out a continuous 1.6 watts of community radio that essentially cov-ers the Nakusp township area. � e station was originally a Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy project that was handed o� to the Nakusp Roots Music Society along with the remainder of the station’s seven-year broadcasting license in 2009. In December 2011 during the a� ermath of the Nakusp Roots Music Society collapse, the station branched o� on its own and incorporated under the guise of the Nakusp Community Radio Society with Ewings o� cially taking over the day-to-day operations.

2015 marked the end of the seven-year license and Ewings began the lengthy and arduous process of renewal along with an

application to the Community Radio Fund of Canada for additional monies to help with the operational demands of running a community radio station.

Last week Ewings received responses to both of his applications. “It was about a week apart when our license was renewed and I heard back from CRFC that our grant was approved and it was like, wow, a breath of fresh air,” he said.

With a seven-year license in hand and money in the bank from the CRFC, Ew-ings was able to create a paid station man-ager position (which Ewings successfully applied for and will � nally provide some remuneration for his e� orts in the past 10 years), as well as to hire Annette Gorrie as a volunteer coordinator. Ewings is con� dent that these two key additions to � e Arrow’s team will not only help ensure the survival of the station, but will grow the product ex-ponentially.

“All of us here at � e Arrow are com-mitted to community radio as a vehicle

for community development, information sharing and fun,” Ewings explains, “but one of the biggest challenges is meeting the re-quirements set out by the CRFC that man-dates content, and what we have always had problems with is the spoken word require-ments. In an 18-hour broadcast day we need to air 15 per cent of locally produced spoken word content which works out to be 19 hours a week of spoken word. Obvi-ously I couldn’t do that just myself.”

Ewings and Gorrie are actively seeking new ways to involve the local community in � e Arrow’s programming and program development and have already added sev-eral new segments to the broadcast sched-ule including local business interviews and airing village council meetings.

“� e whole goal of this is to make this station sustainable by getting a core of vol-unteers who are active,” Ewings shared. “We are working to get a group of people together and start meeting those content goals.”

Ball Tournament Schedule

Stunning steelwork at the Studio Connexion GallerySteel. What does that word bring to mind? Struc-

tural material? A Judas Priest album? Kitchenware? A football team?

How about art? Tim Andrew and his partner Giselle Duval, the two halves of Rave ‘n’ Iron, use metal to make everything from earrings to money clips to lighter cases, as well as what’s on display at the Studio Connexion Gallery in downtown Nakusp until August 9 — landscape artwork done on solid stainless steel tiles. Featuring the skies, mountains, rivers, lakes and trees of the Kootenays, the works are impressive for more reasons than just the fantastic end result. How exactly do you etch such fine details as individual tree branches on a material that’s famed for its use in heavy construction?

The answer, of course, is to use something even stronger. Andrew uses a diamond-tipped dremel tool that rotates at around four to five thousand RPM to detail. For less delicate bits, he uses wire wheels and other industrial abrasives.

This combination of practical knowhow and ar-tistic application is at the heart of both Andrew’s and Duval’s works. The tiles themselves look wonderful, conveying the majesty of Kootenay nature and even changing colour depending on the light. From one angle, the sky above Saddleback Mountain could be dark, and from another, it could be as bright as a swel-tering summer day. One can’t help but think of the contrast between the serene end product and the way

each tile was made. The tools used to make a mark in steel require a very steady hand — one slip and there goes the dremel, cutting a gash across the lovingly-de-tailed mountain you’ve been working on all day.

When asked about such mistakes, Andrew just laughs. “Sometimes they happen, and you just have to work with it. I usually start my original pieces with a single mark in the metal, so if something goes wrong early, I can take it in stride and build off it.”

Ball tournament prepares for 29th year

Baseball is considered by most to be the oldest sports institution in Nakusp dating far back, deep into the community fabric. Ad-mittedly, there is an intangible schmaltz when hitting the dia-mond under the glow of the out-field lights on a warm summer evening that is habit forming.

Under the guidance of a strong core of dedicated volunteers who have taken over the reigns of the Nakusp Mixed Slo-pitch Society, ball has been enjoying high lev-els of local participation with a seven-team league for the 2015 regular season. The group has also taken on the responsibil-ity of hosting the annual Nakusp Slo-pitch tournament, which will be enjoying its 29th consecutive

year. The local tournament is a popular destination for a number of teams in the slo-pitch world, a feat which organizer Ryan Struck attributes to what he calls the to-tal tournament package.

“I think what keeps bringing teams back is people love the lev-el of play in the tournament, they love that the camping is right close by, they can take full ad-vantage of the beach on those hot August days in between games, all the shops and restaurants are within walking distance. I think they just love that everything their family needs for a great hol-iday is in one perfect little pack-age. Just makes for an amazing weekend.”

The tournament has 20 teams registered with some traveling from as far away as Kelowna, Ab-botsford, Spokane and Alberta.

The popular homerun derby, sponsored by The Hut, will take place on Sunday and playoffs are scheduled for all day Monday.

This year Nakusp will field three “local teams,” so quoted because many of the players cur-rently live in Kelowna but return home for the long-weekend to play ball.

The Brew Jays, SSP and Grey Jays (previously named the Big Kahuna and before that, The Youngins), will be gearing up for the three-day marathon of cheers and jeers. Last year the Big Ka-huna roster carried community hopes of a hometown tourna-ment winner by swinging their way deep into the semi-finals for a match against PFM, but lost in a close contest. The Creston Ko-kanee defeated PFM in the finals 13-11.

July 24, 1925 On Friday a� er-

noon shortly a� er the train had passed, a small � re started at the point where he railway passes the cemetery. Not until it had a good start was the � re observed. By then, a high wind was blowing and fan-ning the � ames in tremendous fury towards town. Im-mediately the � re was known and the alarm sounded. Men ran from mills, from the stores and ev-erywhere else with great eagerness. � e � re covered about four acres of ground before it was con-trolled. It occurred within 100 feet of the cemetery and was madly racing towards the hospital when checked.

About 10 miles of the Edgewood-Ver-non road has been burned over. Two

bridges and 16 cul-verts have been com-pletely destroyed and the delay is such that the date of the open-ing is very inde� nite � e section of road between Inonoak-lin crossing and the Pre-emption is the damaged part.

� e net result of the � res along the CPR between Na-kusp and Rosebery is summarized as follows by an ex-perienced timber man: Loss of timber-between three and 500,000 feet; Loss in royalties and stump-age- $600,000; de-struction to poles at Summit Lake-$10,000; loss of 45 building $15,000.

July 23, 1975 � e Nakusp

Chamber of Com-merce is circulating a petition protest-ing the closure of the CPR line from Den-

ver Canyon to Na-kusp. � e action was initiated as a result of the hearing regarding the closure slated for Nakusp on July 30.

July 22, 1965 � e gravel crush-

ing and tarring out� t arrived last week and work on the paving of the Nakusp-Bonanza Creek (Highway 6) is commencing.

July 21, 1955 O� cers at Celgar

Development. Co. Ltd. have signed a forest management licence agreement covering 858,000 acres with the provin-cial government. � e company has agreed to build a 300-ton pulp mill. It already operates two sawmills at Nakusp and Castle-gar.

Were you aware that the temperature in a parked car, even in the shade, can rapidly reach a level which is high enough to seriously harm or even kill your pet?

� e outside temperature may register at 26 degree centigrade but a� er just 20 minutes it ris-es inside to 43 degree centigrade. � e BC SPCA and other organizations concerned with the health and safety of our pets including Nakusp area’s PALS, urges us to familiarize ourselves

with the warning signs of heatstroke.� ese include the lack of coordination, exag-

gerated panting, salivation, weakness, muscle tremors and also convulsions or vomiting. In addition, observe the pet’s tongue and normally red lips, which may eventually turn bluish in co-lour. � ese are warning signs that your pet may be in trouble.

It is also a good idea to put together an emer-gency kit for your pet for use during times when the threat of impending forest � res becomes real.

“No one likes to think that an emergency like a wild� re or an earthquake will happen, but in the event that it does, it’s best to be prepared both for yourself and for your beloved fam-ily pets,” according to the BC Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and associ-ated animal welfare groups including Nakusp’s PALS.

Edible flowers have gained popularity over the years and are often seen garnishing a special dessert or sprin-kled on salads in high-end restaurants Squash blossoms, calendula petals and nasturtiums are probably the most familiar but I was surprised to learn just how many of our common blossoms are edible and the wide range of ways they can be incorporated into our daily diet.

As I look around our little half acre I see many culi-nary possibilities. This spring I fell in love with flower jellies and made countless jars of lilac and rose jelly. It feels quite decadent to assemble cream cheese and lilac sandwiches for those end-of-June school lunches when the kids are as sick of eating peanut butter and fruit jam.

A tea of Lady’s Mantle, raspberry leaf and rose pet-als soothes the soul and calms the belly and don’t for-get about rose hips. They are extremely high in vitamin C and can be boiled to make a nutritious and delicious syrup.

The leaves and flowers of Bee Balm (Bergamot) can be dried to make Oswego Tea, a drink that the First Nations shared with settlers in Colonial times. It’s also delicious

as a pot herb, with an oregano-like flavour and can be used in soups , stews and sauces. I recently combined bee balm, lovage and garlic scapes for a unique jam with limitless uses.

Day lilies can be stuffed with cream cheese and herbs, battered and fried for a delightful appetizer or side dish. Borage leaves have a delicate cucumber flavour and the beautiful blue blossoms are a lovely addition to salads.

I’ve recently learned that the entire sunflower plant is edible. The young shoots can be thinned and en-joyed raw, the leaves can be boiled, steamed or lightly fried, the stalks of younger plants can be peeled and chopped for salads, stir fries and veggie plates. Un-opened young buds can be boiled or steamed and

eaten with butter and salt, they apparently resemble artichokes and I can’t wait to try this. Sunflower petals will add a bittersweet flavour to your meal and, last but not least, the well known sunflower seeds can be eaten fresh, roasted or pressed for oil. All that from one plant!

These are just a few of the many edible species avail-able and hopefully you have been inspired to try some-thing new. A parting word of caution though, please do your research before consuming a new plant as there are many poisonous varieties around us. Lupine, foxglove, lily of the valley and iris are just a few that are extremely toxic and should only be enjoyed in a garden or vase — never on your plate!

CommunityREGIONAL DISTRICT OF CENTRAL KOOTENAY

NOTICE OF ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS

EDGEWOOD & AREA VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION SERVICE

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Board of Directors of the Regional District of Central Kootenay proposes to adopt “Edgewood and Area Volunteer Fire Department Financial Contribution Service Establishment Bylaw No. 2454, 2015” which would authorize the annual requisition of not more than $10,000 or $0.174/$1000 of net taxable value of land and improvements, whichever is greater. The purpose of this bylaw is to provide a financial contribution for the purpose of operating the volunteer fire department. Eligible voters within the Edgewood and Area service area are being asked by Alternative Approval Process on whether or not they are in favour of providing the annual financial contribution. BACKGROUND: The Edgewood Volunteer Department is a registered and fully incorporated society. The society operates two fire halls in the community. Volunteer fire fighters answer emergency calls 24 hours per day, seven days a week. Operating expenses for the society include: hydro electric power; response vehicle licensing, insurance; maintenance and fuel; training; and equipment. Currently, the society’s gear is outdated and needs to be replaced with equipment that meets regulations. TAX IMPLICATIONS: The fire department is requesting an annual grant-in-aid that would assist with these costs. This amount would not exceed $10,000 per year. Bylaw 2454 limits the taxation to an actual rate of $0.174/$1000 which converts to a residential rate of $0.166/$1000. Taxation on Residential Property at $0.166/$1,000 Property assessed at $100,000 $16.60 $250,000 $41.50 $400,000 $66.40 ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS: Under Section 86 of the Community Charter, approval of the electors within the Edgewood and Area Volunteer Fire Department Financial Contribution Service Area is being obtained by means of the Alternative Approval Process. Therefore, eligible electors within the service area opposed to the RDCK establishing this service may petition against the adoption of Bylaw No. 2454 by signing an Elector Response Form which may be obtained from the Regional District of Central Kootenay office. At least 10% of electors must petition against the proposal prior to the deadline date, which is at least 30 days after the last publication of a notice in the local paper, in order to prevent the Board from proceeding with the Bylaw without the assent of the electors. ELECTOR RESPONSE FORM: The Elector Response Form must be in the form established by the Board of Directors and is available from the offices of the Regional District of Central Kootenay during regular office hours or from the RDCK’s website at www.rdck.bc.ca WHO MAY SIGN THE ELECTOR RESPONSE FORM: Electors, either resident or owning property, within the boundaries of the Edgewood and Area Volunteer Fire Department Financial Contribution Service Area are the only persons entitled to sign the Elector Response Form. An elector is a person who meets the requirements and qualifications defined by the Local Government Act as described in detail on the Elector Response Form. The Board of Directors has resolved that a fair estimate of the total number of electors in the subject area is 290. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 86(1)(c) of the Community Charter, 29 or more electors must sign the Elector Response Form to prevent the Board from proceeding without the assent of the electors. DEADLINE: The Elector Response Form must be received by the undersigned before 4:30 p.m. on August 31, 2015. If you have any questions regarding this proposal or would like to request an Elector Response Form, please feel free to contact the undersigned. Information relating to this notice will also be available on the Regional District’s website at www.rdck.bc.ca under “Public Notices.” Anitra Winje, Corporate Officer Regional District of Central Kootenay Box 590, 202 Lakeside Drive, Nelson, BC V1L 5R4 Telephone: 250-352-6665 Toll Free: 1-800-268-7325 FAX: 250-352-9300 Email: [email protected]

Yep, we are un-der the fictional rule of a king and queen who hold court, make proclamations, host tournaments, practice politics and, along with other members of the Society of Anach-ronism (SCA), par-ticipate in all manner of activity that would have been expected from a pre-17th cen-tury European society.

In this medieval worldview, the mod-ern globe has been carved up into a map of 19 kingdoms, each with its own monar-chy structure com-plete with subsidiary principalities which branch into smaller shires and baronies. Within each kingdom, and under the gov-ernance of their re-spective royalty, par-ticipants of the SCA are committed to re-searching and recreat-ing the arts and skills of the bygone middle ages through festivals, workshops and tour-naments for members and the general public.

The non-profit SCA educational society originated in Califor-nia almost 50 years ago, when the first gathering was hosted to celebrate the gradu-ation of the Countess Diana the Listmaker, (Diana Paxson). The 19th-cetnury themed recreation of medi-eval life was called the Last Tournament and kicked off a new era in research and recreation that spans the world with over 30 000 participating members.

Thanks to the joint efforts of local Dan-iel Abraham and the

chatelaine for the kingdom of Tir Ri (a chatelaine is a new-comer’s SCA officer), Kimberly Stratford, this fascinating world is set to materialize on the fields outside of Nakusp during the August long weekend in all of is renaissance glory.

Abraham arrived in Nakusp around 2013 and after hearing about the successful rise and fall of the Na-kusp music fest he was inspired to help fill the social and economic void left by its depar-ture. Abraham settled on the medieval festi-val concept after ob-serving the rich tapes-try of “eclectic artisans and crafters” in the Arrow Lakes area and contacted the SCA to inquire about host-ing an event. Within a year, the incorporated non-profit society, Nakusp Medieval So-ciety was created with the support of the Vil-lage of Nakusp and a thorough concept de-scription was on the planning table.

Referred to as “the festival,” the two-day celebration will show-case an exhibition of demonstrations, mu-sic, dramatic perfor-mances and even an all out war between the Kingdom of Ava-cal and the principal-ity of Tir Righ, which resides within the Kingdom of An Tir.

“The war is going to be the equivalent of BC doing battle with the USA” Abra-ham explains. “The whole theme of the SCA coming here is that there is a war for Nakusp. We are like a little frontier town on the edge of the Tir Righ principality, so its disputed territory right on the border. The result of this war has the potential to re-draw the map.”

Calling all squires, knights and nobels

The upcoming joint ven-ture between the SCA and the Nakusp Medieval Society is a unique partnership that has not been undertaken before and both groups are curious about how it will play out.

“If the event is received well, then there is potential to evolve into a kingdom vs. kingdom war,” Abraham explains. “It would encompass a larger scale event that could involve the entirety of north western America’s SCA members, and numbers-wise, instead of ex-pecting 300 or 350 or so par-ticipants, we would be look-ing at maybe a thousand. It is an opportunity for Nakusp to really showcase itself to the medieval group and poten-tially reinvent itself as a com-munity.”

Stratford is also breaking new ground with this event and is hopeful that enough in-

terest will take hold to develop a branch of the SCA in the area.

“This size of an event in a little village — it is a big deal for the members. And for us to have an event there with-out a branch there to support

us, all I can say is that I am re-ally pleased that Daniel and his team have been on the ground to help us pull this off because we have really needed them. We would absolutely love to have a branch in Nakusp if that is what the local wants and we’ll do whatever we can to support them and grow them.”

Abraham and Stratford’s teams will be meeting up this week to begin the final prepa-rations for the festival.

“We are rolling up our sleeves and getting ready to put on a really good show,” Strat-ford exclaims. ”We are super excited; I have a huge team who have been pulling all the different aspects of this event together and it is going to be epic!”

Tickets are available online and a complete schedule of events can be found on the Na-kusp Medieval Society’s web-page and in this issue of the Arrow Lakes News.

Durable artFor the same reason stainless steel can be

hard to work with even for masters like Andrew and Duval, it has incredible longevity as art. It takes concerted effort and power tools to dam-age the 6x6 to 12x24 inch tiles that Andrew uses as canvas. From the indoors to the outdoors and anything short of a trash compactor, the engrav-ings will remain untouched by the elements for... well, pretty much forever.

Andrew has always wanted to be self-em-ployed, and the skills he gained from industrial metalworking (he helped make aircraft) have allowed him to do that in a rather spectacular fashion. Rave ‘n’ Iron has a website, international shipping, and an average review rating of 4.8/5 online. It’s more than just numbers, though; you can see it when he talks about what he does, and you can see it in the landscapes he’s brought to warm life through cold steel.

Special thanks go to Anne Béliveau, who or-ganized the opening event and catering, as well as Jennifer Cross of Jennifer Chocolates for making those delicious chocolate-covered fruit thingies that disappeared with alarming speed.

Andrew and Duval’s work can be found at theraveniron.com, or on their Youtube, Etsy, and Pinterest pages. Andrew’s tile landscapes can be found at the Studio Connexion Gallery in Nakusp. Regular viewing times are between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., Tuesdays to Saturdays. Al-ternatively, a private viewing can be arranged by calling the gallery at 250-265-3586.

REGIONAL DISTRICT OF CENTRAL KOOTENAY NOTICE OF ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS

EDGEWOOD & AREA ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION HALL FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION SERVICE

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Board of Directors of the Regional District of Central Kootenay proposes to adopt “Edgewood and Area Royal Canadian Legion Hall Financial Contribution Service Establishment Bylaw No. 2455, 2015” which would authorize the annual requisition of not more than $10,000 or $0.174/$1000 of net taxable value of land and improvements, whichever is greater. The purpose of this bylaw is to provide a financial contribution for the operation and maintenance of the community hall portion of the Royal Canadian Legion building in Edgewood. Eligible voters within the Edgewood and Area service area are being asked by Alternative Approval Process on whether or not they are in favour of providing the annual financial contribution. BACKGROUND: The Royal Canadian Legion Branch #203 has provided Edgewood and area residents with a community hall for several years. The community hall is well used and highly valued by the community. The Legion has subsidized operating costs of the hall as a service to the community. However, the Legion’s income is falling while operating expenses continue to rise. The Legion has explored alternative sources of funds to continue to operate the hall but has found none. TAX IMPLICATIONS: The Legion is requesting taxation to fund the costs to maintain and operate the community hall portion of the building. This amount would not exceed $10,000 per year. Bylaw 2455 limits the taxation to an actual rate of $0.174/$1000 which converts to a residential rate of $0.166/$1000. Taxation on Residential Property at $0.166/$1,000 Property assessed at $100,000 $16.60 $250,000 $41.50 $400,000 $66.40 ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS: Under Section 86 of the Community Charter, approval of the electors within the Edgewood and Area Royal Canadian Legion Hall Financial Contribution Service Area is being obtained by means of the Alternative Approval Process. Therefore, eligible electors within the service area opposed to the RDCK establishing this service may petition against the adoption of Bylaw No. 2455 by signing an Elector Response Form which may be obtained from the Regional District of Central Kootenay office. At least 10% of electors must petition against the proposal prior to the deadline date, which is at least 30 days after the last publication of a notice in the local paper, in order to prevent the Board from proceeding with the Bylaw without the assent of the electors. ELECTOR RESPONSE FORM: The Elector Response Form must be in the form established by the Board of Directors and is available from the offices of the Regional District of Central Kootenay during regular office hours or from the RDCK’s website at www.rdck.bc.ca WHO MAY SIGN THE ELECTOR RESPONSE FORM: Electors, either resident or owning property, within the boundaries of the “Edgewood and Area Royal Canadian Legion Hall Financial Contribution Service Area” are the only persons entitled to sign the Elector Response Form. An elector is a person who meets the requirements and qualifications defined by the Local Government Act as described in detail on the Elector Response Form. The Board of Directors has resolved that a fair estimate of the total number of electors in the subject area is 290. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 86(1)(c) of the Community Charter, 29 or more electors must sign the Elector Response Form to prevent the Board from proceeding without the assent of the electors. DEADLINE: The Elector Response Form must be received by the undersigned before 4:30 p.m. on August 31, 2015. If you have any questions regarding this proposal or would like to request an Elector Response Form, please feel free to contact the undersigned. Information relating to this notice will also be available on the Regional District’s website at www.rdck.bc.ca under “Public Notices.” Anitra Winje, Corporate Officer Regional District of Central Kootenay Box 590, 202 Lakeside Drive, Nelson, BC V1L 5R4 Telephone: 250-352-6665 Toll Free: 1-800-268-7325 FAX: 250-352-9300 Email: [email protected]

What’s in a song? De-pending on your dispo-sition, music can make you laugh, make you cry, or make you mutter under your breath about kids these days and their pop music before turn-ing off the radio.

Ty Klassen’s new song entitled Nakusp is a Great Place to Be, sprout-ed from a long-dormant seed of an idea. Ty wanted to find a way to foster community spirit, and he’d written over 200 songs since starting all the way back in the halcyon days of the mid-80’s, so why not make a song by and for the com-munity of Nakusp?

It turns out there weren’t really any rea-sons why not. A jaunty little ditty, Ty’s song takes what people told him they loved about Nakusp and puts it into playful, acoustic rhythm. From the scenery to the friend-ly people to the town’s rich history, the song re-minds us all of why we’re lucky to live here — even if we sometimes do have to dig a completely bur-ied car out from under what seems like an en-tire Greenland’s worth of snow. As the song says,

nothing’s ever perfect.And what isn’t per-

fect can be improved upon. Ty intends to spread the song among the people of Nakuspand encourages them to add their own verses. Love the quiet, foggy spring mornings, or the bright summer days? Then say so! His idea for the song is not for it to be a purely static piece of music, but something that grows and chang-es as our community does. The closest paral-lel that can be drawn is to old folk songs and sea shanties, which, in a century-spanning game of telephone, can slowly morph and change over time with every retell-ing. The song is written to encourage that as well; a convoluted, 7/4 time, 20-minute long prog rock opera it is not, so no one should have any trouble adding their own twist on things.

“Nakuspitality,” a phrase used in Ty’s song, was orginally coined by the late Milton Parent, who used it in his song for Nakusp’s 100th an-niversary. Our town’s 125th is coming up soon, and Ty plans to sing, Na-kusp is a Great Place to be live in concert during the event.
