Dog killed in Conibear trap near MacDonald Creek

A dog was killed by a trap set just off the Baerg Forest Service Road near MacDonald Creek between Nakusp and Burton.

“It took three of us everything we had to get the trap off,” said Brian Graham, neigh-bour to the unfortunate Yellow Lab named Nikki and her owners Chris Szabo and Brenda Hoyle.

Szabo, Hoyle and Nikki had returned to Baerg FSR for another walk on Boxing Day. It was on their descent that Nikki suddenly ran into the woods, shortly after which the couple heard a terrible sound. Fearing it was a cougar attack and that the dog would be dragged through the woods, the two didn’t rush into the scene.

Fortunately, they were able to get cell phone service and call Graham who also enlisted the help of nearby local Charles Maxfield.

“They called to help find the dog because I knew the area,” Maxfield told the Arrow Lakes News. As he ventured off the road, cut-ting through the bush to where the dog had last been heard, he spotted one trap and then another. When he first spotted the dog’s body in the trap, he thought it might have been a cougar.

“I felt really sorry for them. They said they’d had the dog for ten years,” said Max-field.

After wrestling with the 330 Conibear

trap for ten minutes, the jaws were released but it was far too late for Nikki. The metal device meant to trap lynx, bobcats, wolver-ines or cougars had crushed the life from her. Designed to be a humane trap, the Conibear is a kind of body-gripping trap that kills ani-mals quickly by clamping around their neck.

The traps are difficult to release; for infor-mation about how to release an animal from a Conibear trap, you can visit the site www.ter-rierman.com/traprelease.htm.

Herald Friedenberger, the trapper who runs the line, doesn’t like to see dogs tangled in traps but said people should be more cau-tious when they’re out in the bush.

“I feel bad, I don’t want people’s pets get-ting hammered,” he told the Arrow Lakes News. Friedenberger had put up yellow tape warning that there was an active trapping line in the area.

A yellow ribbon warning of an active tra-pline dangled from a nearby tree and was hardly visible, said Barb Graham, who returned to the area with her husband Brian after the dog’s death to take pictures.

“You wouldn’t have seen it if you hadn’t been looking for it,” she told the Arrow Lakes News. The faded ribbon looked like just another piece of flagging tape along the road. Unless you looked very closely, it was diffi-cult to read the warning printed on the rib-bon.

Friedenberger has had issues with both ribbons and signs. Once he discovered that the ribbon had been chewed by a cougar.

Nakusp and area property assessments decrease

Nakusp residential property values decreased by 7.84 per cent according to data released from BC Assessment Jan. 2. Commercial properties also declined, but by only by a modest 0.32 per cent.

The Village of Nakusp assessment roll decreased from $250 million last year to $234 million this year, a much smaller drop than in nearby Silverton and New Denver.

The hamlet of Silverton in the West Kootenay led the province in property assessment decline, hitting the mark of 19.15 per cent. Silverton was followed by its neighbour New Denver at 18.72

per cent. The rural area surrounding the three centres was also assessed at a lower value at $1.0 billion this year, down from $1.1 billion last year.

Although most homes have decreased moderately from last year’s assessment, the changes are quite variable depend-ing on a property’s specific location, said Dennis Hickson, Deputy Assessor.

The northern areas of the province increased, with the Peace River area leading the way with 10.43 per cent. Prince George and area values also went up to the tune of 5.63 per cent.

The total value for real estate in the province was $1.107 trillion, up from last year’s $1.043 trillion.

Assessments are in the mail and

making their way to homeowners. If you have an issue or disagreement with your assessment, contact BC Assess-ment as soon as possible in January, said Hickson.

“If a property owner is still concerned about their assessment after speaking to one of our appraisers, they may submit a Notice of Complaint (Appeal) by Jan-uary 31, for an independent review by a Property Assessment Review Panel,” he added.

The Property Assessment Review Panels, independent of BC Assessment, are appointed annually by the Minis-try of Community, Sport and Cultural Development.

Signs he has put up have been knocked down too, but by humans.

Friedenberger believes that signs are knocked down by people opposed to trap-ping.

“They don’t like trapping. I’ve had traps sprung and smashed too,” he told the Arrow Lakes News.

The trapper is going to bring up the idea of getting government signs installed at a meet-ing of trappers and a MOE biologist coming up this month.

Friedenberger is hopeful that government-endorsed signs will stay up, because tamper-

ing with government signage has greater consequences.

Although the trapper has had dogs caught in traps before, this is the first death and he would like it to be the last. Because the trap Nikki died in was designed to catch small wild cats, Friedenberger is going to try mounting traps off the ground on the side of a tree and see how that works. Catching another dog is not something he wants to see happen again.

RDCK Director Paul Peterson was also adamant that changes must be made to prevent more accidental

trapping.“It’s just terrible,” Peterson said,

adding, “I don’t want to see this hap-pen again in Area K. Ever.”

The Area K Director will be push-ing for a resolution to be created by the RDCK and taken to UBCM. From there, resolutions go to the provincial government and changes to legislation can be made. It’s a long process, said Peterson, but the director believes the effort is well worth it.

This is the second case of a dog getting caught in a Conibear trap in less than two weeks. Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations is currently looking into Nikki’s death.

Property assessment statements are in the mail this week, showing slight drops in estimated property values for most regions of the B.C.

Despite the decreases, Finance Minister Mike de Jong announced Wednesday that the threshold for the B.C. homeowners’ grant is increasing by $10,000 to $1.295 million.

The grant is set to make 95.5 per cent of homeowners eligible for the full amount, which is $570 in the Capital, Greater Vancouver and Fraser Valley regional districts. The northern and rural bene� t adds an

extra $200 for homeowners outside those districts, an amount added to compensate rural people for extra costs of the carbon tax on fossil fuels.

An additional grant of $275 is available to homeowners who are aged 65 and up, permanently dis-abled or quali� ed war veterans.

Assessments are considered a snapshot of the property value as of July 1, 2012, which predates some of the recent decline in real estate markets.

In Greater Victoria, most home-owners will see reductions in the range of two to six per cent.

“A signi� cant number of prop-

erties in the region are actually decreasing in value,” said Reuben Dankody, assessor for the Capital Region. “Since our valuation date of July 1, 2012, the overall prop-erty market shows signs of fur-ther decline in sales volume, while prices have generally been stable.”

In the Kootenays, total assess-ment roll value decreased slightly in Nelson, Salmo and Slocan, while rural property values held steady. Cranbrook also saw a small aver-age decline, with assessed value of a typical single-family home going from $256,000 to $250,000 as of last summer.

Property values generally

remained stable in the Okanagan, with changes from � ve per cent up to � ve per cent down depending on location and type of property.

In the Northwest, Terrace bucked the trend with a slight aver-age increase in assessed values. In Smithers and surrounding commu-nities, residential values generally held steady while commercial and industrial properties saw decreases between � ve and 20 per cent.

Property owners can check their assessments online at bcassess-ment.ca (click on e-ValueBC) and compare with others in their neigh-bourhood to decide if they wish to � le an appeal by Jan. 31.

Changes in the property tax pay-able depends on the actual tax rates to be set by each local municipality, so a home that’s assessed � ve per cent higher might not pay any more in tax if the average assessment in the city rose 10 per cent and the local council sets its rate to gener-ate a smaller tax revenue increase.

The total assessed value of real estate in B.C. rose 2.3 per cent from a year ago.

Most cities are seeing gains of around 1.5 per cent in their assess-ment rolls from new construction, expanding their tax base.

Feldenkrais classes teach the body how to learn

“What’s Feldenchrist?” I asked my friend when she said she was going to a class at NaCoMo, and did I want to come?

“It’s Feldenkrais,” she cor-rected.

Oh.Created by Moshé Felden-

krais, the eponymous exercise is a system of movements designed to increase awareness of the body and how it works.

If you go to Feldenkrais with Tyson in Nakusp, you’ll soon dis-cover what that means in practise. Each class focuses on a particu-lar set of muscles and movements which students are instructed to pay close attention to. The exer-cises encourage an attitude of experimentation and exploration of one’s own body, seeing how it works and fits together.

Arriving at the studio, I lay down on a mat in a class with about a half dozen students. Tyson Bartel, our instructor, nar-rated the way through our exper-iment in movement, beginning with an overall stock-taking of

how our bodies felt, where it con-tacted the floor and how evenly it lay.

Next, he instructed us to become aware of our shoul-ders and move them in particu-lar ways, following the move-ment closely with our minds. As we worked through different movements noticing the changes and relationships between differ-ent muscles and structures, Bar-tel told us that Feldenkrais was designed to reorient the body and mind relationship to teach increased flexibility to both.

Over the course of the class, the simple isolated movement of a single shoulder blade up and down the back increased in com-plexity, and the movement slowly became an effort of both concen-tration and coordination involv-ing shoulders, hips and head moving in time with each other.

The degree of mindfulness required to follow the physical movements with the mind was almost enough of an effort on its own to create some sweat. Bartel explained that by involving both mind and body in the exercise we were repatterning habits of move-ment as well as increasing body

awareness. Feldenkrais exercises involve

several different muscle groups and types of movement; the shoulder and hip exercises we were going through in the eve-ning class was just one of many. Bartel is responsive to students, so if there is a consensus from the students that a particular area of the body needs some work that day, he can tailor the class in that direction.

At the end of the session, the students once again examined their overall position and sense of their body lying supine on the mat, investigating if there were any changes now the movement was over.

Lying on my back, my shoul-ders felt as though they were now further away from my ears, and tension in my neck had dimin-ished. It felt as though more of my body was on the floor than before, and I did have more of an appreciation for where my limbs were in space and how they related to tension in the centre of my body.

The manner in which the class was taught and the difference from start to finish encouraged a

mindfulness of movement that contin-ued on even after leaving the exercise mat on the floor.

I also noticed that I was very relaxed, and ready for anything, which was perfect. The class had ended, and it was time to take my re-educated bones, muscles and mind out into the world.

If you’re interested in trying Feldenkrais with Tyson, classes are Wednesday mornings at 9:15 a.m. at NaCoMo (90 5th Ave SW) in Nakusp.

Willhorse brings Southern rock to Three Lions Pub

Golden, B.C. rockers Willhorse bring their original songs to Nakusp as part of their cd release tour this January. Photo courtesy Willhorse

“We’re a brotherhood more than a band,” says Willhorse bass player Todd Menzies over the phone, “like modern day pirates.”

The Golden, B.C., band was on the brink of another tour when Men-zies was explaining the all-for-one dynamics of the band. Formed just ten months ago in the eastern reaches of the province, Willhorse has already been very busy writing new material and touring it through British Columbia and Alberta.

After months of being inspired and working on new songs nearly every day, the band is now taking its first album on the road.

The non-stop touring and writing is reminiscent of the 70s, said Men-zies, who recalled that back in the day rock and roll bands had a release every year, unlike most groups these days.

“We’re going to press our album

on vinyl and get back to the way things were,” said the musician.

Menzies characterized their orig-inal songs as Southern rock, a blend of country and western with rock’n’roll, and rattled off the All-man Brothers, Black Crowes and Sheepdogs as sources of inspiration for Willhorse.

“We’re an original band,” he told the Arrow Lakes News, although he did say Willhorse did occasionally bust out their take on a song they’d found inspiring.

Their tour is taking them through some great ski towns, a bonus for Menzies who is the only skier in the bunch. Willhorse will be playing a stripped-down mainly acoustic gig at a heli-ski lodge this winter, and the bass player is hoping to switch the guitar for a pair of skis at least for a little while.

Willhorse is playing at the Three Lions Pub in Nakusp on Saturday, Jan. 12. You can check out their self-titled album online at iTunes.

Editor, Here is an open letter to Hon.

Steve Thomson: Minister of For-ests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

Dear Mr. Minister:On Boxing Day 2012 our

neighbours from Edmonton were enjoying a wilderness walk along the Baerg Forest Service Road located adjacent to MacDonald Creek Provincial Park 16 kilome-tres south of Nakusp with their two dogs. Suddenly Nikki, an 11-year-old yellow Lab, bolted into the forest. Moments later the serenity was broken by the cries of a dog dying an indescribable and preventable death. Nikki had become yet another statistic of domestic animals having been caught in Conibear traps.

Nikki suffered unimagina-ble pain as the steel trap gripped, strangled and broke her neck with a pressure of at least 90 pounds

per square inch.Naturally our neighbours are

mourning the loss of their com-panion but are thankful that this tragic event did not happen to an inquisitive youngster or even an unwary adult.

Their anger is not directed at the licensed holder of the trap line but is focussed at the current pol-icies and regulations of the BC Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations that presently state trappers “should post” – not “must be required to post” – visible signage notify-ing the public of trapping activ-ity within areas adjacent to our provincial parks and Crown Land frequented by outdoor enthusi-asts.

These signs should be of a rea-sonable dimension (50 cm by 50 cm), plainly visible at the com-mencement of the trail head and clearly state “Active Trapping

Within the Area AND All Pets MUST be Leashed.”

If school and playground zones require signage advis-ing motorists to exercise caution it begs the following question: Why do we not require signs to be posted notifying the public of active trapping activity?

I am proposing the immedi-ate need for a review and subse-quent legislative change requir-ing that “holders of government issued trapping licenses to be required to post signage warning the public of active trapping in the vicinity, especially when trap-ping in regions located adjacent to popular recreational areas such as MacDonald Creek Provincial Park or other BC Parks located adjacent to populated centres.”

Brian Graham Nakusp, B.C.

Death at MacDonald Creek preventable

Take action for the sake of safetyEditor,I have spent my life in the

woods and mountains and encouraged my children to learn and love the B.C. wilderness as my father taught me.

We enjoyed a family walk with our dogs Christmas Day up Baerg Creek Forestry Road adjacent to MacDonald Provincial Park Nakusp and returned again Box-ing Day.

I have never encountered an active trap line without warn-ing and thus unprepared, lost my faithful companion of 10 and half years, our yellow Labrador Nikki.

We live with the sad image of prying her dead body out of the trap and while I fall asleep, I am awakened by her desperate cries to survive.

I urge you to lobby your MLA to legislate mandatory adequate signage and location of active trap lines considering proxim-ity to MacDonald Provincial Park Nakusp and other publicly accessed areas.

I was raised to believe that Crown Land is for us all, not solely for loggers, hunters and trappers, and that access is a right that each of us ensures through

our taxes. As Nakusp, the Region and Province of B.C. search for promotional strategies to draw tourism, recreation and business, careful consideration needs to be given to priorities of all land use.

Continuing to do things the way they have always been done will ensure the same or similar results. Revitalizing an area will entail new and dynamic ways of thinking, living and conservation; it is paramount that we all work together to this end.

Brenda Hoyle-SzaboNakusp, B.C.

Idle No More in Nakusp eitherEditor,Albert Einstein once said: “The world is a danger-

ous place (in which) to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.”

Most people are aware of the Idle No More movement that is sweeping not only our country,

but many other countries as well. We may not be able to join

marches, protest rallies etc, but there are things we can can do. One example is to write on both sides of every dollar bill that passes through you hands the words “Idle No More”.

Hopefully some of these bills will eventually end up in Mr.

Harper’s hand and persuade him to meet with Chief Theresa Spence who is on a hunger strike for her people. Many of whom live in terrible third world like conditions.

Let’s do something about it.Thank you.Hans SparreboomNakusp, B.C.

Editor,The first hate-filled comment was

made by Bryan Fischer, a director of The American Family Association. The comment, made shortly after details of the massacre became avail-able, was that “God is a gentleman and would never venture into places where he is not wanted.”

This comment is a contradiction of everything that everybody knows about God, whether he exists or has died (according to Nietzsche), or is pure fantasy (according to atheists). Surely his omniscience trumps his gentlemanly qualities.

It is worth noting that the South-ern Poverty Law Centre has desig-nated the American Family Associa-tion as a hate organization because of its explicit racism and opposition to other matters of social importance.

The second hate-filled comment was by the well-known Christian apologist William Lane Craig, who was mentioned in my second column which appeared in the Arrow Lakes News of Nov. 28 under the heading of “Atheists are a funny lot.”

Craig equates the massacre in New-town with the first Christmas. Craig performs extremely agile intellec-tual gymnastics that only an apolo-gist of his standing can, and I might add that there is no-one more highly regarded than Craig in all of Christen-dom for his uncanny ability to make sense of the manifold discrepancies in the Bible.

The third hate-filled pronounce-ment came from Mike Huckabee, failed presidential candidate and Bap-tist Minister. Huckabee’s statement is directly contradictory to that of Bryan Fischer. Huckabee insists that God will be there to comfort the grieving.

Why was he not there to prevent the massacre? God only knows. Perhaps he’s squeamish at the sight of so much blood, although his history of geno-cide as recorded in the Old Testament – you know, the wholesale slaughter of Canaanites and others – would tend to negate that theory.

A particularly virulent sermon was delivered by Reverend Sam Morris two days after the massacre in New-town, CT.

He attributed the event to the fact that “junk about evolution is taught in schools” as well as “how to be a homo.” It should be noted that he is a Baptist preacher heading a small con-gregation in Tennessee, The Old Paths Baptist Church. He ended his sermon by suggesting that the shooter’s corpse should be strung up from a stout tree, doused in gasoline, set alight and left hanging until the birds had picked his bones clean.

He forgot to state his preference for the type of tree, deciduous or conifer, the latter being a real hazard for the community due to its flammability.

Travelling the world was the beginning of Tyson Bartel’s jour-ney both inside and out. As a young man he decided visit-ing the Mesoamerican ruins he had learned about while study-ing anthropology in college could help him figure out what direction his education would take. It did. Instead of determining his major, he was bitten by the travel bug and abandoned college for les-sons learned on the road.

“That was it, I was a traveller then,” said Tyson. The departure was one that deeply shaped his life and his education.

In Asia, Tyson encountered not only Thai massage, but also Vipassana meditation during his travels. During a ten-day medita-tion retreat, he came to the real-ization there was a lot of “junk” attached to his concept of self.

“I realized it wasn’t a matter of snapping my fingers and fixing everything,” he revealed, “It was going to be a lot of work.”

The next leg of his explora-tion led him to India, where he found a rich world filled with both heaven and hell. The strong spiritual traditions and the rigours of daily life affected Tyson, who studied yoga as well as medita-tion while there.

It was those experiences that led him to pass on what he had learned once he was back in Can-ada. Back in Kamloops, Tyson became involved with the only yoga studio in town, and when line-ups for classes became too much for the lone instructor to handle, Tyson was asked teach.

“I wasn’t nervous, I was excited about it,” he said, con-fident that his devotion to yoga would make him a good teacher. Teaching from experience came naturally to him, and within six months he had a full-time teach-ing gig.

It was during a yoga teacher training session that Tyson first came across Feldenkrais, a sys-tem of movement and aware-ness developed by Moshé Felden-krais. Having suffered from back trouble, he first felt a shift dur-ing one set of exercises, and continued to repeat the exer-cises. Tyson’s experience with the movements lit a fire in him to learn more. Finding instructional tapes, he dedicated time to study-ing Feldenkrais at home. Inspired by the philosophy and process, he began to tell everyone about it.

Feldenkrais is a system of movements designed to increase awareness of the body and to improve both the movement repertoire and general wellbe-ing. Founder Moshé Feldenkrais explored the connection between the body and mind, particularly anxiety and movement. He stated that object of the exercises was “more flexible minds, not just more flexible bodies.” A devoted judo practitioner, developed techniques designed to increase awareness of the body and the connections between mind and body.

Thanks to a teacher that came to the Kamloops yoga studio, Tyson found out about a four-year Feldenkrais program being offered in Washington state. Even though it was a struggle to get everything in place in order to go, he was excited and deter-mined and completed the training in 2001.

“I’m still integrating Felden-krais methodology,” said Tyson, who sees how the practise has affected how he approaches his every day life, increasing his con-sciousness of what is happening with every movement.

Another more recent voy-age shifted his life again when he came to the Kootenays a few years ago on holidays and he saw that more of the life of his dreams – breathing clean air, planting a

garden, hiking in lush nature – was possible here.

Leaving his successful yoga teaching career he had built over the years in Kamloops, Tyson has made the jump to the Kootenays with no regrets. Although he still has strong ties to family and com-munity in Kamloops, the Koo-tenays are now home for him. He now teaches Feldenkrais in Nakusp and Winlaw, and periodi-cally travels back to Kamloops to offer classes there too.

During a Feldenkrais class with Tyson, specific ranges of movement are explored, and how they affect and are affected by other parts of the body. Students are asked to note how they feel at the beginning before the exercises are done, and to compare how they feel afterward to see what kind of changes have taken place. The class is an experiment in increasing consciousness around muscles, tendons, and movement where each student is the explorer of their own bodies. Emphasis isn’t on what “should” be done, rather on learning about how your own body moves and feels. That being said, people who come to Tyson’s Feldenkrais classes gen-erally leave feeling relaxed as well as more knowledgeable about themselves.

Living in the south Slocan valley, Tyson’s journey contin-ues. Like any good teacher, he is also a perennial student, and has recently discovered a new realm of experience and exploration in the world of Kundalini yoga.

You are welcome to join Tyson’s Feldenkrais class at NaCoMo in Nakusp on Tues-day evening at 8 p.m. or Wednes-day at 9:15 a.m. If you are inter-ested in more information about Tyson’s Feldenkrais classes or Thai touch massage, you can con-tact him at 250-226-6826 or [email protected].

In a welcome throwback to the days of old-school commercial hockey, the Nakusp & District Sports Complex hosted the � rst annual Falcons Cup on Dec. 22 and 23. Four teams composed of hockey players from around the val-leys and ex-pats home for the holidays waged battle to determine the honour of being the � rst Cup champion.

With a wide range of ages among the players (some athletes were as young as 20; others as old as 67!), spectators and players alike were treated to the spectacle of not just brothers playing with and against brothers, but fathers skating with and against their own sons. Rosters also featured players with extensive junior and even professional experience.

The action actually began Friday night at the Leland Hotel, where the four team captains and their goalten-ders held a 53-player draft to � ll the team rosters. Each team was named after a tree (Cedar, Hemlock, Pine, and Spruce). Round-robin action took place all day Saturday and early Sun-day, with the top two teams advancing to the � nal Sunday afternoon.

The competitive nature of the tour-nament was evident from the start as Wayne Abbott’s Pine squad edged out Mike Smith’s Team Cedar 3-2. Despite

being outshot by Pine 33-14, the his-trionics and skill of Cedar goalie Tay-lor Reitmeier kept the game close. The second game saw the defence-heavy Hemlock (captain Darren Wethal) bat-tle the speedy Spruce (captain Ron Palmer), who had drafted former WHL 50-goal scorer Seth Leonard with the � rst pick. On the back of goalie Bro-die Yano, Hemlock would get away to a 4-1 lead in the � rst period and then set it on cruise for a 7-5 victory.

As the tournament progressed, the surprising Pine would run rough-shod over, led by the offensive tan-dem of Bryce Cann and Riley Weath-erhead, not to mention their veteran goalie, Ryan Struck, who simply got better with every game. With Cedar � n-ishing 3-0 and the other three squads each trading wins and losses (including Hemlock losing their last two games to Cedar and Spruce after losing star for-ward Dallas Sinclair to a wrist injury), the second spot in the � nal would be decided by goal differential in the � nal game as Cedar played Spruce.

Spruce came out strong with three goals, and goalie Mark Macaulay pitched 30 minutes of shutout hockey before giving up three goals of his own to Cedar’s Bruce Oakes and Mike Smith. Those two goals ensured that Cedar would make it to the � nal no matter the result, and Spruce were

First annual Falcons Cup a hit: 2013 tourney already in the worksBy Kyle KuschSpecial to the Arrow Lakes News

eliminated despite a 4-3 win.Pine continued their hot streak

in the � rst half of the � nal with three goals to start the frame. After the � nal Zamboni break, Smith rallied his Cedar troops and nearly pulled off the miracle comeback. After Ryan Fehler ended Ryan Struck’s shutout streak in goal, Smith cashed in a Fehler pass with just 2:16 left in regulation to make it 3-2. Applying incredible pres-sure on the Pine goalie, Smith nearly tied the game twice in the dying seconds. The comeback was not to be, however, as Struck was

money when it counted all week-end and Team Spruce would cap-ture the � rst-ever Falcons Cup.

Pine would end up with the top three scorers in the tournament. Bryce Cann would lead all scor-ers with 5G-3A, one point ahead of partner Riley Weatherhead (2G-5A), and two ahead of team-mate Rodney Volansky (3G-3A). Despite being on the losing end of three games, Cedar’s Taylor Reit-meier was the class of the � eld in goal with a .910 save percent-age and an average of 27.75 saves per game. Hemlock’s Tyson Klein

was the weekend’s top faceoff artist, winning 68 per cent of his draws.

With hundreds of fans in atten-dance throughout the tournament, this � rst-ever Falcons Cup was considered such a success that dates have already been reserved for the second edition next December.

Big congratulations go out to Zac Wethal, the Nakusp Minor Hockey Association, and all of the weekend’s numerous volunteers for making the tournament a great success.

2012 Holiday Hockey jamboree held in Rossland

On Sunday Dec. 23 the Pee-Wee Wildcats and Bantam Wild-cats hosted a Holiday Hockey jamboree at the Rossland Arena.

Fifty-six girls attend from all over the West Kootenay including Grand Forks, Nakusp, Kaslo, Nelson, Castlegar and Greater Trail.

Players ranged in age from nine to 18, from Atom to Midget. Two teams were created

from the mix of Atom and Pee-Wee girls.

“It has been a long time since the bleachers have been that full,” said Pam Caron, one of the organizers of the jamboree.

Coached by McKayla Yuris, Erin Mclean, Denomie Fisher and Ava Collier, the girls played a full game refereed by Anjela Szabo.

Bantam and Midget girls also formed two teams and were coached by Alumni Female Wildcats Katie Yuris, Ella Mat-

teucci, Christina Bonacci, Chel-sea Mclean, Marnie Audia and Kayla Martin.

Ice time was only part of the fun, and after the hockey was done, a fun tailgate party was held in the parking lot.

“After the games, the parking lot was filled with players and parents to enjoy some hot choc-olate, sausages, goodies and friends,” Caron told the Arrow Lakes News.

Last week I was driving through Crescent Bay and saw a bird cruis-ing low over a snow-covered field. My immediate reaction, based on the behaviour was Northern Har-rier. This is a fairly large, slender hawk with long pointed wings. It flies low over fields as it hunts using occasional flaps and long glides. But the bird I was looking at was flapping much too much with deep floppy wing beats. As soon as I saw that, I knew I was looking at a Short-eared Owl.

This is an uncommon bird in our area. They breed in grassland or marshy areas, something we have very little of. There are no breed-ing records at all for the Nakusp region. They do pass through here

on migration sometimes, but only once every few years. Since 1980, I have known them to visit the area just six times. Some of these birds have remained for several weeks; others were seen just one day.

The day after this sighting, I returned to Crescent Bay to see if it was still around. I did not relo-cate it there, but coming home through Brouse I found two of them sitting on fence posts!

Migration normally occurs much earlier than this, so this bird is not casually moving through on its way to its normal winter-ing ground. It was probably living comfortably up the valley some-where (there is a lot of good hab-itat in the Revelstoke area), and was pushed along by the recent snows.

Not all migratory species have predetermined routes and sched-ules; some seem to go only as far and as fast as conditions dic-tate. I hope these two continue on further south fairly quickly. I was quite pleased to see the Cres-cent Bay bird catch and eat a good sized vole while I was watching, but if the snow gets much deeper, detecting prey will become much more difficult.

Also last week I saw a Northern Pygmy-Owl in Nakusp. This tiny little predator is much more com-mon here and we regularly have a few around the region in win-ter. During summer they go up the mountains somewhat and live at higher elevations.

In October, there were two Blue Jays in town. These visitors from the east are a much paler blue than the familiar Steller’s Jay, and they also have extensive white on their undersides. I saw them on and off for a few weeks but then didn’t see them for quite a while.

Last week I again heard one calling in town. In discussion with a couple of residents who main-tain feeders, I learned that these jays have apparently been here all along. They are not nearly as loud and obvious as our Steller’s Jays and prefer to stay hidden in the trees when not feeding. Origi-nally, this species was found only east of the Rocky Mountains, but in recent times they have become much more regular in the west. They are now breeding in places such as Cranbrook, Creston and Castlegar.

Since 1923

Trout Lake had a rather extended fall this year, which allowed bonus time to top off winter wood supplies and com-plete outdoor chores that are usually left until the very last moment. And now we shovel…

The Trout Lake Community Club held an extraordinary gen-eral meeting on Oct. 6 where 12 members attended. To date, the 2012-2013 membership stands at 108 members. The short meeting agenda recapped the Club’s activ-ities this year, which included the completed work on the commu-nity hall doors and the purchase of a metal cemetery sign.

If you’re looking for some fun ways to get fit in Trout Lake, win-ter exercise classes are in full swing at the community hall. Everyone is welcome to try the one-hour classes on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays at 10:30 a.m. A variety of fitness options are available, including Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi and a variety of others. There is no charge for TLCC members but non-mem-bers are asked to donate $2 or buy a Club membership for $5.

Cribbage nights continue dur-ing the winter months at the Trout Lake community hall. Orga-nizer, Mike Rankin, generally has 12 to 15 participants join in the monthly event, which is a mere $5 per person.

HMC Services Inc. held their annual stakeholders meeting on Oct.31 at the community hall. A number of principal parties were

on hand to discuss local highway concerns and the winter mainte-nance programme.

Telus held a lively town meet-ing at the community hall on Nov. 29, at which nearly 30 residents attended. Telus representatives were General Manager for Inte-rior South, Steve Jenkins; Telus Ambassador, Aurora Sekela; and Field Manager West Kootenay Region, Chris Ridge. During the presentation, Steve clarified the purpose of the government defer-ral account program and its effect on high-speed Internet service into the Trout Lake area.

Telus’s directive from the deferral program was to install the fibre optic connection to Trout Lake, Jenkins told the people at the meeting. Once that directive was complete, Telus would be obliged to enter into a partnership with any existing, local Internet service provider (ISP). What this means is that Telus will now pro-vide a wholesale service to the Trout Lake BC Internet Society (TLBCIS), the local ISP, as they already have the Internet infra-structure in place.

TLBCIS has an expansive Internet coverage area from Trout Lake to Halcyon Hot Springs, which dwarfs the Telus range of 4.2 kms from the point of pres-ence (POP) at the Trout Lake townsite. Telus representatives assured the audience that work-ing with TLBCIS, they would ‘do what needs to be done’ to get res-idents connected. TLBCIS Pres-ident, John Wall, spoke with a number of potential subscribers at the conclusion of the meeting to explain that TLBCIS also remains committed to getting the Internet service to their residences.

John Wall is happy that sub-scribers can expect improved Internet service with fibre optic connection speeds greatly increased allowing faster down-load and upload response times.

Now that we are settling into our Trout Lake winter, we can reflect on our accomplishments from 2012 and ponder opportuni-ties that may lie ahead in the New Year.

From my home to yours, I wish you all the best in 2013!

Cheers!

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.

April 20– May 20


















THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS...





May 21– June 21

April 20– May 20


















Aries, you may have to work a little harder to get what you want, but the results will be worth it. Focus your attention on making a name for yourself in the business sector.

There is no stopping you when you have a goal in mind, Taurus. Although you may be ambitious, just be mindful of other people in your path as you go.

Be honest with your feelings this week, Gemini. Someone close to you is interested in learning more about the way you operate. This could strengthen a friendship.

Don’t bite off more than you can chew, Cancer. Otherwise you could be left with a long to-do list and not enough energy to get the job done. Consider paring down tasks.

Leo, although you may have rest and recreation on the brain, celestial forces are pushing you in the opposite direction. Busy days are ahead, so rest later.

You have put too much effort into something to abandon your plans now, Virgo. Rethink quitting early on. Maybe a friend can carry you over the � nish line.

Surround yourself with lots of friends when you cannot have family near, Libra. This will help keep feelings of loneliness from creeping in during quiet moments.

Scorpio, you may need to concede to a difference of opinion this week when you simply cannot resolve something amicably. Redirect attention on a craft or pastime.

Sagittarius, sometimes you tend to be brutally honest with others. While honesty is an admirable trait, this week you may need to censor what you say to avoid hurt feelings.

Taking a circuitous route will land you at the � nish a little behind others, Capricorn. But you will get to the end nevertheless. Trust your instincts with this one.

Aquarius, you probably won’t be able to rest your mind until you square away all of your � nances and make a budget for the new year. Take on the job this week.

Introspection leads you on a mini-quest to � nd a creative outlet, Pisces. Play to your strengths and some ideas will surface.

Lots of designated drivers on the road during holidays

Corporal Ryan Fehler from the Nakusp RCMP say officers were pleased to see many holiday party-goers using designated drivers over the holidays.

“There were lots of designated drivers,” Fehler noted, giving kudos to people for planning ahead. “It

was great.” Twelve checkstops were held

over the winter holiday period, with four drivers pulled from behind the wheel and given a 90-day Imme-diate Roadside Prohibitions (IRP). One driver found with a higher blood alcohol than the legal limit was issued a three-day IRP, and a sixth was given a 24-hour IRP

because their ability to drive had been affected by drink.

In the course of vehicle checks, six small amounts of pot or hash were seized, and two more drivers were handed driving prohibitions for driving while impaired.

“For the most part, people were pretty good,” said Fehler.

Overall, the number of driv-

ers being taken off the roads for impaired driving are down in the province. According to preliminary numbers, police laid 961 impaired related charges from Dec. 2, 2012 to Jan. 2, 2013, compare to 1434 for the same period last year.

Distracted and dangerous driv-ing is on the radar too. More than 1,419 people got ticketed for use of

an electronic device while driving, and 213 drivers were caught exces-sive speeding (doing 40 km/hour or more over the posted limit.)

The Nakusp RCMP say they will continue to hold checkstops throughout the year, and encourage people to have a designated driver or call a friend or family for a ride if in doubt.
