Arrow Lakes News, January 08, 2015

� e barn was full. � e boys were back in town. � e Falcon Cup was all � lled up for the champs to win the drink. Oh, the good ‘ol hockey game.

� e Nakusp arena hosted the 3rd annual Falcons Cup on December

20-21. Organized by local champion Mark Macaulay along with an army of volunteers, the hockey tournament played host to an exclusive mix of Na-kusp Minor hockey alumni and local players who maintain an address in the greater Nakusp area. � e event also acts as a fundraising vehicle with the goal of supporting the continued success of minor hockey in Nakusp.

At the registration deadline, 80 hockey players were signed up and ready to strap on the pads. Friday night hosted � ve pairs of goalies and captains who conducted a private dra� in the depths of the � ree Lions and sorted the motley crew into teams, a tradition that adds the edge of NHL chimera to the event. Later that night, the dra� results were posted and the

long awaited team names were an-nounced: Jamie Coates and Mark Macaulay — Team Red. Riley Weath-erhead and Gord Marshall — Team Grey. Chad Hicks and Brodie Yano — Team Black. Tristin Sinclair and Ryan Struck — Team White. Dallas Sinclair and Taylor Reitmeier — Team Green.

CommunityFirst baby of 2015Little Kaylani Mae Yano came a long way to earn the title of

� rst baby of 2015

Born Friday, Jan. 2 at 1:27 p.m. at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, weighing six pounds and two ounces and stretch-ing 19 inches, Kaylani is not only the � rst baby of the year for Vernon, but the � rst for Nakusp.

Parents Brodie and Kara Yano are actually from Nakusp. But since the Arrow Lakes Hospital doesn’t have a maternal unit, new parents have the choice of going to either Nelson or Vernon.

So Brodie and Kara took the ap-proximately 200 kilometre trek (about a three-hour-drive if you catch the ferry on time) to VJH.

While Kaylani is a star in their eyes, the new parents never imagined their little girl would become a star so early as the � rst baby of the year.

“We talked to the nurse and she said that no one else was here and there were no C-sections booked but we were still surprised to have the � rst baby of the New Year,” said 25-year-old Kara, who works at a restaurant in Nakusp. Bro-die, 34, is a logger.

In fact, Kaylani was overdue. Her due date was Dec. 28.

But apparently little Kaylani had plans of her own, and when she did decide to come, it was a good thing her mom and dad were already in town.

“She came so fast I didn’t have time for anything (pain control wise) so I was a little traumatized but she makes it worth it,” said Kara.

Kaylani, whose name means ocean in Hawaiian, captured her parents’ hearts immediately.

Although a rookie at his new job of dad, Brodie looked a veteran as he cradled his olive-skinned baby daughter and could hardly look away from her or stop grinning.

� e VJH Auxiliary ladies were also gushing over the little girl, as they presented her with a basket full of goodies including a handmade af-ghan, quilt, bibs, sweater, bonnet and other goodies for the new family.

� ey headed home Sunday, pulling in safe and sound.

“We made it just in time,” said Bro-die, as the snow started to fall Sunday a� ernoon.

“We took our time that’s for sure.”Brodie and Kara Yano of Nakusp hold their new baby daughter Kaylani Mae Yano, born Fri-day, January 2 at 1:27 p.m. at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. Photo by Lisa VanderVelde

• Continued from page 1

The format of the tournament was a head-scratching five-team round robin that used a point sys-tem of goals for and goals against to sort out the road to the final. At the conclusion of the first day of hockey, Team Green muscled their way into a first place stand-ing by defeating Team Red 11-4 and Team Grey 4-0. Their per-formance afforded Team Green a pass through the quarter final round and into the semi final. Second place Team White and third place Team Grey also earn bys through the quarter-final and into the semi-final round.

Simply put, the first day of ac-tion did not eliminate any team from contention in the finals as the bottom two teams still main-tained an avenue of success that would take them through a quar-ter final into a semi final berth. The route, however, is somewhat disadvantageous as fifth place Team Red and fourth place Team Black were facing a potential mountain of three games to get to the cup while the other three teams had earned a game rest.

Undaunted, Team Black set to work, trudging one mile at time, one goal at a time, and managed to slog through the quarter final against Team Red with a score of 6-0 and advanced to play the semi against first place Team Green.

Donning red jerseys due to a color conflict, Team Black snatched an early lead utilizing their game played momentum to catch the still groggy Team Green off-guard. However, real-izing elimination was at stake the Green squad rallied themselves after the halftime ice scrape and charged out the dressing room unwilling to go gently into that black night. Back and forth the players battled across the ice and at the sound of the buzzer the game hung in the balance at five goals apiece. Overtime: this was to be the only game of the tour-nament that couldn’t force a deci-sion during regulation and each team stepped to the ice with glory on their minds.

The frenzied play did not take

long to materialize into a game-winning goal as a scramble in front of the Green Team net af-forded clinch-time player Terryn Stenseth just enough room to jam the puck home for the big W.

Choosing to stick with the jersey change, Team Black donned the red jerseys once again and found themselves looking across the ice at Team White, who earned their final showing by de-feating Team Grey 6-2.

The action on the ice was thunderous with 61 shoots com-bined yielding 2 goals for Team Black and only 1 for Team White. With just over 60 seconds left on the clock Team White pushed Team Black into their defensive zone and pulled goaltender Ryan Struck off the ice for the extra at-tacker. With their backs against the wall, Team Black maintained a defensive line against the thrash-ing offensive juggernaut of Team White. Desperate and working against the dying seconds of the clock, Team White threw every-thing they could at the net, but could not bang one in to tie the game. The final buzzer sealed the fate of Team White and elevated Team Black in their red jerseys to 2014 glory.

During the cup ceremony Mark Macaulay handed out several other honors includ-ing the Mr. Old-timer award to

Bob Treheme (who celebrated his 69th birthday with a rousing Happy Birthday sung by the are-na crowd), Top Scorer to Dallas Sinclair (finished the tournament with 5 goals and 3 assists) and the Mr. Inspirational award to Chad Hicks (Captain of Team Black). Zac Wethal also recognized the heroic efforts of Mark Macaulay for being instrumental in the fa-cilitation, organization and suc-cess of the Falcons Cup Hockey Tournament by awarding Macau-lay the Unsung Hero award.

Macaulay thanked Zac Wethal for “being a main organizer and making sure the tournament has run smoothly for the last three years.” Macaulay also recognized a number of other key members of the volunteer crew; “Donna Rebman, Mary and Sarah Ham-ling and Kimberly Macaulay for working the beer gardens. Val Scott and Kyle Kusch for work-ing the time box and keeping the stats and also Nakusp Minor Hockey. We also had an amazing reffing team of Hans Suhr, Colton Dachwitz, Dougan McInnes and Greyson Reitmeier. Thanks also to KJ O’Conner for supplying all the teams with Gatorade and to all of the local businesses for supplying the items for the raffle table. Finally, thank you to the community for coming out and supporting this event.”

good natured, too, who as-sembled in the opera house Wednesday for the annual masquerade ball, which is a fixture with the local branch of the Great War Veterans. It was an animat-ed scene in the clear bright light, Mr. Abriel having provided gasoline lamps. A tramp and a preacher mixed it in a game of chance, with his Satanic Majesty appear-ing on the scene, during the intervals of dancing. Winter was there, and trip-ping close behind came spring. Gypsies flirted with clowns and a Roman sol-dier contrasted with a 72nd Canadian Highlander. The balloon girl, a Pierot, an In-dian Princess and a lady of the ballet wore pretty cos-tumes.

January 3, 1935 The Silvery Slocan-not

so silvery as it was 35-40 years ago-lost one of its old trail blazers last week when George Henderson registered his last claim. George Henderson was in the Slocan shortly after Eli Carpenter staked the Payne Mine on Carpenter Creek,

George and Neil Gething put up the Arlington Hotel in Slocan City, which was successful while the local mines prospered. George Henderson also put up the first building in New Den-ver before the Slocan City venture.

January 4, 1945 A delightful surprise

party was tendered to Mr. and Mrs. Walter Maxwell Saturday evening by mem-bers of the United Church Board, the Women’s As-sociation and the choir members on the occasion of their 25th wedding anni-versary. The couple came to Nakusp 21 years ago.

December 30, 1954Interior Tug and Trans-

port Co. Ltd., the firm that has been granted $60,000 annual government fran-chise to operate the Arrow Lakes ferry service hopes to have its MV Arrow Park in service by January 15. The ferry will be 99 feet long and 30 feet wide, capable of transporting 15 cars and between 90 and 95 passen-gers. It will have a coffee bar and lounge accommo-dation.

January 7, 1965 H.J. Woolley, known to

many as Harry, was buried at Turner Memorial Church in New Denver with full Knights of Pythias honors. He had come to New Den-ver around the turn of the century and was a familiar resident in the area ever since. He was born in 1871.

January 8, 1975 Nakusp’s New Year’s

baby, Meaghan Garner, put in her appearance at 6:30 a.m., January 6 at the Ar-row Lakes Hospital. She is the daughter of Gordon and Ingrid Garner of Na-kusp.

January 2, 1985 An early morning fire

in Edgewood January 1 completely destroyed the home of Jim Hansen. Be-tween 4 and 5 a.m. a fire was discovered in the house as people were returning from the annual New Year’s Eve party. Crews organized quickly to attempt to save the house and contents but very little could be saved. Nobody was in-jured and the lone occu-pant of the house escaped without mishap.

January 5, 1995 A 23-year-old Califor-

nia man was killed De-cember 22, after falling into a tree well while ski-ing in the Selkirk Moun-tains. The man, Rexford Owen McClure, was he-li-skiing with the CMH group when he fell into the well and was covered with snow. It took CMH Galena ski guides one hour to locate the buried man, who had suffocated to death.

January 5, 2005 Nakusp RCMP con-

tinue to investigate the mysterious shooting of a 54-year-old man in his mobile home residence during the evening of Dec. 23. Police do not believe this to be a random act of violence and have indicat-ed the shooting may have been premeditated. Police however have not specu-lated on a motive. The shooting marks the first such incident in the area in more than two years. The last time was in the fall of 2002, when there was a shooting in Fauquier. The victim survived the incident.

Boom and bust cycleMost people have cleared out their

Christmas tree by now and holiday egg-nog, rum cake and turkey with all of the trimmings are but a distant memory. The bills are starting to roll in, along with that feeling of perhaps overdoing it yet again, and, as the new year begins to take shape, we are faced with that desire to do better, to pare back and cut down.

But for many of us this feeling lasts but a short while as evidenced by a poll taken early in 2014 which found a quarter of men broke their New Year’s resolution to lose weight after one day.

Who can blame them?Instead of dining on holiday delica-

cies, we’re back to the detoxing and juice cleanses; instead of spending on gifts, clothes, new phones and TVs at Christ-mas, we’re now supposed to cut back our spending and start putting something away for RRSP season.

It’s a boom and bust cycle that’s hard on the nerves, which is why most people simply ignore the traditional New Year’s resolution.

However, for those that feel that need to promote change in 2015, maybe your resolutions could be less personal and more social.

Resolve not to tailgate — at all. Ever. If everyone took up this resolution can you imagine how different it would be to drive our city streets and highways?

Resolve to speed things up at the gro-cery checkout. This goes out to the people, usually with a large purchase, who insist on reading the checkout magazines and seem genuinely surprised that they have to produce their credit or bank card, store card, or coupons at the time of purchase.

Resolve to stop filling up your Face-book page with selfies.

Resolve to reflect on your actions more than once a year. It’s strange that resolu-tions are made in January, and not all year long. We can always find things to im-prove in our lives.

There’s something about early January that I find refreshing. It is full of promise — resolutions are not yet broken, holi-day decorations are packed away, and a new year is stretched before you like a blank easel ready for your creation.

Each year my list of resolutions tend to be long and a wee bit daunting and I am usually quite content with accom-plishing even one of the many. But this year I’m keeping it simple. I only have one resolution: To get organized! It has always been a skill that I lack and strug-gle with daily.

I have moments of greatness where I feel like Martha Stewart and I even take photos for proof and future inspi-ration. Alas, it is very short lived. I re-ally don’t understand how people do it! My mother is the most organized person I know, and it baffles me how that tal-ent was completely lost on me. You can open any cupboard, closet or drawer in her house and it is magazine worthy; la-

bels and everything. In my house it can be dangerous opening certain cupboards or closets as even the motion of the door swinging open may trigger an avalanche of who knows what. My kitchen cup-boards are a nightmare. Tupperware is more like where the ‘bleep’ is the ‘bleep-ing’ lid?

In the past I was grateful and very lucky because my daughter had the most incredible organizational skills, to the degree of even having a colour coordi-nated closet. Ever since the tender age of three she had helped keep the household in decent order. But all good things must come to an end as she is now fifteen years old and has become a complete…well let’s just say that her talents seem to be on hold for the time being. This is all very embarrassing for me to admit, but it is the first step to take for real changes to be made. I’m thinking that the best way to attack this problem is to write out daily/weekly chores on my calendar and

make it simple and realistic. For example next week all I have to do is my kitchen drawers. The week after that, my kitchen cabinets and the last week in January is my kitchen appliances and, voila! Kitch-en completed. Sounds simple enough, and truly not daunting at all. I’m go-ing to make sure that everything has its place and it is also well marked so the rest of the family knows where things belong. The idea of making lunches in the morning and actually being able to find the lid to the container, gives me butterflies.

It’s always the simple things that bring true happiness. The goal in February is the bedrooms.

Wish me luck, and if you have any ad-vice or organizational tips you can give me, I will accept them with great appre-ciation. I wish you luck with your New Year’s resolutions valley friends, and may we all succeed, even if it’s just tiny little steps at a time.

Rotary club tours Box Lake LumberSeveral members of the

Nakusp branch of Rotary In-ternational attended a tour of the Box Lake Lumber mill in early December. The tour was prompted by Rotary’s ongoing interest in creating and main-taining human connections both at home and abroad.

“Rotary is all about meeting and working with people from all walks of life on a common goal,” Nakusp Rotarian Kees Van Der Pool commented.

“This was a neat opportunity to visit and tour an industry in Nakusp. We are always looking for new opportunities to view different occupations.”

Box Lake Lumber employ-ee,Dan Weibe met with the Ro-tary group and ushered them through the bowels of the mill. Weibe shared the finer points of the mill’s operation while pointing out the variety of me-chanical wonders that trans-form cedar logs into a variety of products.

Box Lake Lumber has been a viable and important busi-

ness in Nakusp since 1985 and Weibe shared some facts that locals may or may not know about the mill in their back-yard: “Box Lake uses low grade cedar logs that are unusable by other mills and has been manu-facturing split rail fencing since 2000. Box Lake employs over 40 local workers. Product is produced from the entire cedar log including chips, mulch and rails.”

Box Lake Lumber has built a reputation of generating prod-ucts that are long lasting and environmentally friendly.

On December 1, I was walking along a wooded trail in Kokanee Creek Provincial Park, near Nelson. I was birding with two Nelson bird-ers; Paul Prappas and Carolee Colter. We heard a couple of Black-capped Chickadees calling and stopped to look at them. As we watched, a small bird moved in from our left perching briefly, it clearly showed some yellow. I knew it was too bright for a winter plumaged American Goldfinch but I didn’t know what it was. The bird immediately moved to a new loca-tion about three metres from our position and we were all able to look at the bird with our binoculars. De-spite seeing the bird for only 2 or 3 seconds, I knew now that it was a White-eyed Vireo.

The normal winter range for the White-eyed Vireo in continen-tal North America is the east coast from Virginia south to Florida, and around the Gulf of Mexico. During the breeding season it moves a little

westward, away from the Atlantic coast, but it comes nowhere near the west. There are no previous records for British Columbia. The species has been reported only once each in Washington, Oregon and Alberta. White-eyed Vireo is a common win-ter bird in southern Texas where we spend 2 or 3 months every winter. It was our familiarity with the bird from our time in Texas that made it so easy to identify.

Almost as quickly as the bird had appeared, it disappeared. None of us saw the bird fly away; it just simply wasn’t there any more! This is a pat-tern of movement I have noticed pre-viously while watching these birds in Texas. There have been numerous times when attempting to photo-graph this species that it has seem-ingly disappeared before our eyes. Despite some effort, we were not able to find the bird again after its brief appearance. The following morning, Paul, accompanied by Craig Sandvig and Vancouver birder Danny Tyson, returned to the site in an attempt to relocate and photograph the bird.

They did not find it. But Paul and Craig were not done yet — on De-cember 4 they returned and after two or three hours of searching, they found and photographed the bird! The bird was seen again on Decem-ber 5 and 6.

The White-eyed Vireo is one of 9 members of the vireo family that have been recorded in Canada. They are primarily insect eaters, but will also take some fruit when necessary. In the Arrow Lakes region, three species are quite common during the summer breeding season: Red-eyed Vireo, Cassin’s Vireo and Warbling Vireo. Their songs are not as com-plex and musical as some of our oth-er songsters, but they are persistent! The Red-eyed Vireo in particular will sing much later in the day than most birds and also continue singing lon-ger into the summer. Its propensity to ‘talk’ non-stop for long periods of time has given rise to its nickname, the Preacher Bird. All three of B.C.s vireos migrate long distances in win-ter. In January they will all be in Cen-tral and South America.

West Side Story, based on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and featuring music of truly as-tounding beauty composed by Leonard Bernstein, is undoubt-edly one of the most famous Broadway productions of all time.

Now, at the Bonnington Arts Centre on January 10 at 7:30 p.m., the “Jets” and the “Sharks” are about to get seriously jazzed up by Patrick MacGibbon and friends as they play “� e Songs of West Side Story.” Oh, and in case you didn’t know, by “friends” we actually mean some of the � nest jazz artists in British Columbia! Joining Patrick MacGibbon will be Kelowna’s Craig � omson on saxophone and Neville Bowman

on piano, Nelson’s Steven Parish on drums and Doug Stevenson on bass, and Revelstoke’s Bob Rogers on trombone.

Come on out and hear all of your favourite West Side Story tunes like “Maria,” “Somewhere,” “Tonight” and “America” (among others). We guarantee that you’ve never heard them done like this before! We’re going to cut loose and have some serious fun, all while preserving the core beauty and feeling of each of these well-loved and cherished musical numbers.

Get your tickets at the Bon Marche/Dollar Store for an eve-ning of Jazz at the Bonnington Arts Centre starting at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m.

How many Nakusp and area residents are aware that The Office of the Secretary to the Governor General (OSGG) is actually a government agency which supports the Governor General in delivering his/her mandate as well as fulfilling his or her constitutional state, cer-emonial and other traditional responsibilities?

The office is also responsible for the planning and implemen-tation of the Governor Gen-eral’s series of programs and activities which are delivered on behalf of Canadian commu-

nities such as our own as well as those located throughout all other parts of the country.

Activities that serve to recog-nize outstanding achievements and the pursuit of excellence emphasize the importance of community participation, pub-lic education and respect for diversity. The celebration of a special birthday or wedding anniversary along with a con-gratulatory message from the Queen, the Governor General or the Prime Minister may be considered.

For example, a congratula-tory message on the occasion of a 100th birthday (or over) can be issued upon request by Her Majesty the Queen. Six-tieth wedding anniversaries (or over) can be recognized through the office of the Gov-ernor General as well as for

those celebrating a 90th birth-day or 50th wedding anniver-sary (or over).

A request for a Special Greeting in honour of a 25th wedding anniversary (or over) or a 65th birthday (or over) may be directed to the Prime Minister’s office. Note that your request must be made at least eight weeks prior to the event. For further information, call 1-800-465-6890.

To contact someone who is serving overseas with the Ca-nadian Forces — and you don’t know how to reach that indi-vidual on your own — contact the Mission Information Line of the Canadian Forces Person-nel Support Agency by calling toll-free 1-800-866-4546. It is possible that this agency can be called upon to act as your go-between.

Organizer Kimberly Macaulay hands over a donation of $1800 to Mayor Karen Hamling — proceeds from the Andrew Allen concert held on December 13. The money raised from ticket sales and concession will be used to purchase a safety divider for the ice rink to separate those playing hockey from those who want to skate freely.
