Ms. Jamison’s class off to Vancouver
Nakusp Elementary School’s Grade 6 class was selected for one of the BC Green Games prizes in the 2015 contest. Students worked on three dif-ferent projects: school-wide milk container recycling, hand built wooden bird houses and
recycled beverage bottle bird feeders which were hung on school property. Their efforts paid off.
Teacher Megan Jamison ex-plained, “We actually won two awards through the BC Green Games. Both are based on de-cisions made by the profes-sional judges that they hired — as we didn’t win a Viewer’s Choice award but the prizes we won are even better.”
Jamison’s class has been awarded $1000 to support more environmental projects at the school, starting with a small garden on the school grounds. They will be dis-cussing ideas for additional environmental projects. Each school in the competition was guaranteed free entry to the Telus World of Science in Vancouver, however the feat of getting there would have been prohibitive had they not won the second award of $1500 to help with the costs of a field trip to Science World in Vancouver.
“This is the prize that the students were most excited about the possibility of win-ning. I am happy to have a class full of very happy, and proud students. Their parents are also very excited,” said Jamison.
The Grade 6 class plans to be away from May 19 to 22 and are still working out details like accommodations. They will be going to Science World where there will be an awards ceremony for BC Green Games winning classes. In addition, Jamison is planning a trip to a beach with good tidal pools — about a third of the students have never seen the ocean.
Richelle Coates spoke to the Arrow Lakes News about her son Liam’s reaction to winning. “He was recovering from surgery at home when the winners were announced but his sister heard about it and came home to tell him. And he’s super excited about going on this trip.”
To assist with the addi-tional cost of the trip beyond the funds that they were awarded, the class is host-ing a bottle drive on Satur-day, April 18 at Nakusp Esso
from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Rogers mobile users finally able to connect in Nakusp
For years, Nakusp residents and tour-ists have been limited to mobile companies Bell and Telus and their subsidiaries such as Koodo and Virgin. Finally, those who use Rogers can get signal in the same cellular footprint as the other
long-time providers.“Rogers custom-
ers across British Columbia want to be able to stay con-nected. Now with Ex-tended Coverage, our customers can use their devices in more places across B.C., so whether they’re vis-iting the hot springs in Nakusp or hiking near Arrow Lakes,
Rogers customers will stay connected,” said Vice-President, Sales, and British Columbia, Gordon Nelson.
Extended coverage for Rogers’s custom-ers began on March 4. Through agreements with other carriers, Rogers customers on post-paid plans can access extended cov-erage in rural areas
across Canada where Rogers did not previ-ously provide cover-age at no additional charge.
Subscribers can ac-cess HSPA service for voice and data. Cus-tomers who travel into an extended coverage area like Arrow Lakes or Nakusp, will receive an SMS when they en-ter the area.

SECOND TUESDAY OF EACH MONTH
(APRIL TO OCTOBER) BETWEEN 10:30 AM AND 12:30 PM
Council HighlightsDue to the abundance of bud-
getary planning meetings in Jan-uary and February, council can-celled one of the March meetings so it has been more than a month since they met publicly. A� er the departure of CAO Linda Tynan, this allowed her interim replace-ment Tim Palmer to get up to speed in his new role.
Monday night’s meeting was all about the budget. � e � ve-year plan for � nances in Nakusp was rolled out to an audience of sta� members and a couple of members of the public and me-dia. � e meeting started with an update from the AKBLG or-ganizer Veronica Sergeant, fol-lowed by updates on the water-front lighting project and permit renewal for the Farmer’s Market for 2015. � e Mayor and Coun-cillors gave reports on their com-mittees and recent outside meet-ings.
Village CFO Clyde Bersky took the � oor for the majority of the meeting to run through a PowerPoint presentation on the
speci� cs of the 2015-2019 bud-get.
Increased revenues will come from a two per cent increase in property taxes, a � ve per cent increase in sewer tax, and two per cent in water none of which was new information. Now that the crisis at the water treatment plant has been resolved, the next challenge will be to deal with the arena roof that has been patched repeatedly and continues to leak and is not up to current struc-tural code.
Main areas of focus for the next few years include integrat-ing Public Works and Arena Parks departments to streamline duplication and create e� cien-cies, continued improvements and marketing of the hot springs as well as identifying opportuni-ties for greater operational e� -ciencies.
Water is being lost in the sys-tem due to leaks and will require the assessment and repair in a few places, most notably Sleepy Hollow, where the director of op-
erations is working with WaterS-mart and Build Canada to obtain the funds for a pressure valve to stem the loss.
Bersky presented a chart ranking municipalities with pop-ulations under 11,000. Nakusp is doing well with less than $1000/person whereas several commu-nities were substantially higher — for example Whistler, which was more than $3000/person.
� e village is highly focused on striking a balance between increasing revenues and utiliz-ing the funds that have begun to accumulate in the reserves. It is not a good position for a village to be increasing funds only to stockpile, but it is also not smart to be in a position without cash reserves for emergencies and major expenditures.
� e third and � nal reading of the budget is slated for April 27 in the upstairs meeting room at the village o� ces at 6:30 p.m. � e public is welcome to attend and express concerns before it is adopted.

Phone scam offers free stay at the Marriott
Despite what they might say, the Marriott Hotel chain is not cur-rently telephoning peo-ple from local Nakusp telephone numbers with the announcement that they have won a free night’s accommodation. A recording tells the re-cipient to press one for more information and a� er a brief wait, a live representative then asks qualifying questions. First they want to know if the person is over 30 years of age and next, they want to know if the person has a valid credit card in their name.
Brennen Livingstone received one such call. “� e representative ex-
plained that I had won a free night at Marri-ott Hotel and needed a credit card number. I asked him why he’s call-ing me to scam me. And he hung up.”
Clearly having a method of payment readily available would have enabled the rep-resentative to continue, likely asking for enough information to defraud the winner. � e prize of a free hotel stay was just a dangling carrot to get the information needed to charge funds to the card.
According to the of-� cial Marriott website, a statement was issued in January, 2015, “Mar-riott has been made aware of a series of fraudulent telephone
calls being made in Canada where the caller requests personal in-formation, including credit card information in order for the person answering the call to re-ceive a complimentary stay at a Marriott hotel. � is practice, known as “scamming,” typically incorporates a compa-ny’s branding and mes-saging in order to trick someone into providing personal information. If you receive a suspicious telephone call, espe-cially for a contest you did not enter, we urge you not to provide any personal information, especially credit card information. Instead, simply end the phone call.”
Most recipients do
just that. � e display of a local telephone num-ber may throw some people o� — the equiv-alent of ventriloquism. No thanks to modern technology, if some-body wishes to, they can use computer technol-ogy to make phone calls look like they are from any number the fraud-ster wishes.
� e RCMP requests that anyone who has been a victim of this scam should contact their credit card com-pany and report the matter to the RCMP at 1-888-495-8501. More information on tele-phone scams can be found on the Canadian Telecommunications Commission’s website: www.crtc.gc.ca.

EditorialEarth Day- April 22
Some would argue that the 20th-century con-cept of a single day of environmental activism in a time when electric cars are becoming more popu-lar and everybody seems to be recycling. When “climate change” is part of our cultural vernacular and solar energy is coming to Nakusp? Is Earth Day an anachronism that needs updating for the 21st century?
Probably. In many ways, the Earth Day still practiced in schools and parks today resembles the early days. � e event that falls each April 22 was begun in 1970 by an environmentally minded U.S. Senator named Gaylord Nelson, as a teach-in — a term that just drips groovy ‘70s. It began as a way to perpetuate “consciousness raising” in a time when the internet and TV just had a handful of channels.
We could argue that global citizens of the west-ern world have never been more aware of the harm we’ve cause during the industrialization on the planet. � e world was a di� erent place- chloro� uorocarbons were contained in hairspray, people smoked everywhere, even in elevators and restaurants, and there were no concerns about anything that a vehicle emitted.
Four decades ago, the creation of Earth Day started the process of renovations to the planet, changes in our way of thinking and in the educa-tion of future generations.
But in 2015, do we need Earth Day anymore? To be sure, we’ve got a long way le� to go to, how-ever, the lessons of 41 years are so ingrained in society that smoking is not only no allowed in the workplace, it’s really not allowed anywhere any-more. � e concept of reusing, recycling, reducing is second nature to individuals and corporations alike.
We may not need our consciousness raised like we did 41 years ago, but with so many embracing its meaning into their day-to-day life, one can’t help but wonder if it really needs its own o� cial day anymore. Maybe the point of Earth Day could be revised to serve a new purpose. It was created to be a time to focus on where we need to go. We’re well on our way, every day of the year.
Perhaps Earth Day should be more of a cel-ebration of how far we’ve come, and a reminder that continued environmental progress is the only decision.

With Kyle’s agreement, I’m happy to pass along the news that the next in a series of informative and profession-ally designed slideshows takes place at the Bonnington Arts Centre on Friday, April 17 at 7 p.m.
� is month’s show is dedi-cated to the photographs and � lms of long-time Nakusp resident Ichiro Shiino, who came to the Arrow Lakes dur-
ing the Japanese-Canadian internment of World War II and ultimately made his home here staying in the valley until his passing in 1999.
Called “ICH1100,” the show commemorates the 100th anniversary of Ichiro’s
birth in 1915. Combining footage from his priceless super 8 � lms of Nakusp and New Denver with a selection of his numerous photographs, the show is a wonderful op-portunity for seniors of the area to reminisce about the period from 1942 through the mid 1980s.
A beloved � gure in Na-kusp, Ichiro prided himself
on documenting the commu-nity he called home. As Ichi was an avid photographer, artist and videographer, it’s no surprise that the amount of material Kyle is having to sort through is immense. Over 1,000 of Ichi’s photos are currently being processed and digitized by the archives. � ese priceless items were largely donated by the Stanley family augmented by dona-tions from Touchstones Mu-seum in Nelson and Terry Uyeda.
� e show itself will be half-� lm and half-photos. � e range of topics covered is broad — from parades and sporting events to weddings
and graduations, historic businesses and scenic shots to footage from his over three decades of working up and down the lake on the tugboats for Celgar.
Recent slideshows from the archives have been so successful that they have ne-cessitated a change of venue for ICH1100. With so many standing-room-only shows at the archives recently, the show has been moved to the larger Bonnington. Admission is by donation (suggested $5) at the door. Snacks and refresh-ments will be available.
One of the thousands of photos taken by Ichiro Shiino over his nearly six decades in the valley featured 1951 Nakusp’s championship-winning baseball team posing with their trophies.

April 17, 1925 One of the most im-
portant strikes in San-don occurred at the Wonderful Mine, oper-ated by Clarence Cun-ningham. Nine days ago, 28 inches was in sight and it has now widened out to five feet of good milling ore. The extent of the vein is not known yet, as neither the hanging nor foot wall have been encoun-tered. The new strike has a depth of 700 feet and 125 feet of stoping ground to the upper level. The tunnel is in about 2000 feet.
April 18, 1935 Native sons are drift-
ing back to work in Slo-can Mines. A further evidence that the Slo-can mining district is awakening after a quiet period that extended over several years, may be seen in the number of former Sandon resi-dents who are drifting
back there. Some of them have definite jobs to go to, while in not a few cases they have left jobs to go back. All of them are highly opti-mistic and believe that the Slocan is destined to enjoy some of its former prosperity.
April 19, 1945 A very enthusiastic
meeting of old and new veterans’ wives, moth-ers and sisters took place in the Legion Club Room Monday evening, when a ladies Auxiliary to the Canadian Legion, B.E.S.L., Arrow Lakes Branch was organized. The election officers resulted as follows: President, Mrs.L. Ott; Vice President, Mrs. R. Buerge; Secretary-treasurer, Miss Lor-raine Sinclair; Direc-tors and Sgt. At Arms, Mesdames F. Mayoh, F. Rushton, A. Dunn and A. Middlemass. Besides the above mentioned,
those present were: Mesdames G. Haines, R. Barlow, D. Chadwick, J. Thexton, E. Olson, P. Henke Jr., M. Cameron, H. Kershaw, G. Elder, B. Buerge, F. Burgoyne, J. Argyle, C. Sinclair, W. Vinall, G. Johnson, H. Alten, A. Bouvette, L. Ward, H. Gardner, R. Roberts and Miss H. Cameron.
April 21, 1955 Funeral services
were held in New Den-ver Thursday, April 14, at 2 p.m. in St. Stephen’s Anglican Church for the late Mrs. Margaret Mary Crelin. The ser-vice was conducted by Rev. W.F. Bushe and assisted by Mrs. Ada L. Levy, as organist.
April 22, 1965 Funeral services were
conducted at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church Monday, April 19 to mark the passing of Mrs. Alice Eloise Par-
ent, a long time resident of Nakusp. Mrs. Par-ent resided in Nakusp for 60 years and spent the past six months in the Garden Manor Rest Home in Kam-loops, where she passed away on April 14, in her 88th year. She was born in Embrem, Ont., and resided in B.C. for 69 years. Mrs. Parent, in the early days of the community did much in all organizations for the betterment of all. Women, children, the ill, and the destitute all benefited by her efforts.
April 23, 1975 Nakusp, New Denver
and Silverton areas were without power for more than 16 hours between Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon. The cause of the major outage was failure of the main transformer in the Monashee substation across the lake from Fauquier.

K2 gets kudos in national ski magazineTrisha shanks
Arrow Lakes News
Skinet.com is a con-sortium of sorts — comprised of four dif-ferent publications in addition to their various social media outlets: Warren Miller, NASTAR, SkiMag.com and Skiing Magazine. They boast a quarterly readership of 50,000. Recently they sent a journalist to he-liski with a tour group at Nakusp’s very own Cana-dian Mountain Holidays (CMH), K2 Rotor Lodge.
Crystal Sagan is a Colorado-based ski and backpacker journalist whose resume includes apps and digital pro-duction. She has writ-
ten for backpacker.com and skinet, among other outdoors publications. Sagan has reviewed ski hills and tour operators in the USA and Italy.
Perhaps because of the madcap K2 influ-ence, she wrote about expecting some kind of college co-ed activities complete with drunken late-night parties and was surprised to find a quiet, family-friendly es-tablishment actually fo-cused on skiing instead. She described the village in her article, “Located in the West Kootenay region of British Colum-bia, the town has been a heli-skiing hub for more than 25 years. It’s qui-eter and lesser known
than its neighbour to the south, Nelson, and it’s safe to say that its 1,500 residents aren’t there for heli-skiing or après.”
Reviews were hugely positive for the skiing, and the views. Sagan wrote, “Every line in sight looks as entic-ing as if it were pulled straight out of a snow globe. Everything in my world was perfect and exactly as it should be, and I couldn’t imagine it could ever get any bet-ter. But, of course, it did. Snow that deep and that soft just makes you feel like the best skier on the mountain.”
She loved the calibre of the food, “best ski pic-nic I’ve ever had,” and the
company of her fellow skiers, “special bonds, unbreakable by the laws of powder days, are cre-ating relationships in a dreamland.” But mostly, she was effusive about the tour operator, CMH, which she described, “the godfather of all heli-ski-ing operations had found its niche, and ruled the industry for 50 years. With 11 lodges and a license of operation en-compassing more acres than any other tenure in North America, it’s no wonder they are also the single largest employer of guides in the world.”

• Continued from page 1Falling into formation, Mt.
Boucherie played an impen-etrable red and black wall on the defensive line and con-fidently turned each Cougar attack into offensive opportu-nities for themselves as much of the game was played in the Nakusp end. Mt. Boucherie managed to scramble through the Cougars to the net four more times before the end of the match, and the girls were shuffled down to the bottom half of the tournament bracket right off the bat.
Rattled, but not defeated, the Cougars regrouped and took a closer look at their team during the game break. All of the pieces where on the field, all of the skill that had been percolating during practice was accounted for. All that needed to happen was for the girls to come together and gel as feral pack.
Taking the field for their second game, the Cougars set-tled into position and squared off against a Nechako Valley squad who were visiting from northern B.C.. Calmly taking control of the middle passing lanes, the Cougars started to scratch out offensive oppor-
tunities and experiment with formulas of success. Evidence of chemistry started to oxidize between the midfielders and the strikers as scoring oppor-tunities began to materialize for forward Abby Boswell who relentlessly searched for the net with multiple breaks past Nechako’s defensive line. Finally, after 20 minutes of calibrating, Boswell put foot to ball and ball to net with a laser beam shot that brushed through their keeper’s save at-tempt. The seal on the bushel of bananas was broken as the Cougar pieces fell into place.
After the half, a more co-hesive looking Nakusp squad stormed the field and began to confidently explore the boundaries of their skill set with multiple offensive breaks that turned into goals. At the whistle, the girls had muscled, passed and sauced their way to four goals without giving up any bananas to Nechako Val-ley.
The second day of matches was highlighted by the winds of change as a deceivingly bright Kelowna day was un-dercut by frigid winds from the west. This time, the Cougars began the contest by dumping their box of puzzle pieces onto
the field and quickly fitting them together to shape a team imbued with talent and swag-ger. Ft. St. James was on the Cougar breakfast menu and the girls were hungry. Setting the tone early, strikers Boswell and Lindsay Cann hammered ball after ball at the net until the Ft. St. James keeper was fazed into making tactical er-rors leaving pockets of her net open. The highlight reel goal came in the second half when Cann and midfielder Hailey Herridge waged war in the of-fensive corner of the field and stripped the ball away from the defensive line. Once in pos-session, the pair tic-tac-toed the ball out to the top of the 18-yard box where midfielder Kira Streliev was prowling for a goal. With the ball at her feet it was hammer time for Stre-liev as she tucked the ball into the top corner topping off an impressive 5-0 finish for the Cougars.
The road was paved to Os-oyoos, and the girls squared off against a solid looking squad in red uniforms for their final game. Early in the match, sweeper Taylor Aeichele sur-prised the Osoyoos defensive line with her cannon throw-in that found a streaking Streliev
deep in the end zone. With no time for the defense to re-group, Streliev weaved into her wheelhouse and deftly put the ball past the keeper to tally one for the Cougars. Howev-er, a few playing minutes later the momentum swung back against Nakusp as a beautiful long bomb shot from just in-side the half line got lost in the blazing midday sun and sailed behind Cougar keeper Adriel Goodman. The ball ricochet off the crossbar, rebounded off the back of Goodman’s head and bounced past the goal line to notch an equalizer.
For the duration of the game, he teams traded chanc-es back and forth, but either by skill or happenstance, shots were turned away by post, de-fender and misfires forcing the match into an exciting dot-shot finish. Streliev and Bo-swell found goals during their attempts, but the round of five shots was decided by an out-standing effort by Goodman, whose fifth round save settled the shootout result at 2-1.
The girls will be following up their Kelowna tournament debut with a trip to Cranbrook where they will participate in the Mount Baker Secondary soccer tournament.

Nakusp community votesThe community initiatives
vote took place at the Nakusp Area on Sunday, April 12. A re-cord-breaking 573 community members attended the vote making it the biggest turnout since the voting process was introduced almost 20 years ago.
In the early 90s, the Colum-bia Basin Trust (CBT) decided to distribute Affected Area Funding based on population to each community along the Columbia River along with Community Initiatives funds to communities within the basin boundaries. Mayor Kar-ren Hamling was on the vil-lage council the first year the CBT distributed its funding and was part of the decision to host a vote to determine how the money was to be spent.
“Right from the beginning we figured that it was the com-munity that was affected so
they should get to decide how the money was to be spent,” Hamling recalls.
The voting process has evolved over the years, taking shape from a beginning mod-el of one vote per community member to the multi-vote sys-tem in place today.
“What we found was that those who were voting were tied to a speci� c project and they would come in vote and leave,” Hamling explains. “So we decided to expand the number of votes and encourage commu-nity members to be responsible for what the money is spent on by coming in and listening to presentations and discussing the proposed projects.”
The projects were divided into two categories — small projects seeking funding un-der $10,000 and larger proj-ects requesting up to a limit of $30,000. Voting took place between 12 and 4 p.m. at the Nakusp arena with the results shared on social media later that evening.

Thank you.
Nakusp Elementary School is doing an art project that requires the use of old winter sports equipment.
School Secretary Lisa Bateman writes, “If you have any of the following items, that you are willing to recycle and part with, please drop them o� at the school. Items do not need to be in good shape.”
Items needed: toques, scarves, mittens, toboggans, snowboards, skis, poles, ski boots, hockey sticks, pucks, skates, helmets, curling brooms, and snowshoes.
Local artist Betty Fahlman is behind the winter themed 3-D mural.
Have you ever wanted to turn your fam-ily papers into a memoir? Are you interested in writing a history that transcends mere facts to become a fascinating narrative? Do you volunteer for a historical society and feel like you need more skills to write local his-tories? If so, you should consider signing up for Walking History — Exploring the Past in the Present, being o� ered at the Selkirk Col-lege Learning Centre in Nakusp on April 18 and 19.
Taught by well-known Kootenay author and journalist Sean Arthur Joyce, the course will spend two instructional days covering the basics of historical research and writing technique.
“Research skills are the foundation of all well-written histories and family memoirs,” says Joyce. “� e irony is that the internet age has fostered as much misinformation as bona � de information. It’s important to know how to distinguish between the two.”

who can’t make it,” van der Pol said. Despite adding 50 more tick-ets than last year, the event sold out com-pletely. Tickets can-not be sold at the door and must be obtained by contacting van der Pol at 250-265-0002 or Linda Harrop at 250-265-3492.
van der Pol hopes to raise even more than the $5000 raised last year. “With the in-creased numbers from 100 to 150, and a larger silent auction we are hoping to come away with more like $8000.”
Funds will go to maintaining the schol-arships offered at Na-
kusp Secondary and Lucerne Schools, con-tinuing to support Po-lio Plus for worldwide polio eradication, and assisting with local projects — the fore-runner being the light-ing along the Nakusp waterfront.
“We have the best, most committed, en-thusiastic group of people I have ever had the pleasure of working with and if I may mention them by name, I will. Jerry Botti, Jody Scott and Linda Harrop from the ALGGS, Rotary’s Hazel Rossman, Ma-yumi van der Pol, Troy Watson, and spe-
cial thanks to Sharon Montgomery,” van der Pol said.

Glenda (Butt) O’Brien went to be with her Lord on March
4, 2015. Funeral services were held on Monday, March 9th
at Five Corners Pentecostal Church and interment was at
Mount Ida Cemetery, Salmon Arm.
Glenda (Butt) O’Brien was born in Nottingham, England, on January 28, 1945 to Norman and Doris Butt. She spent the fi rst 18 months of her life in England, before coming to Canada in July 1946. She lived in rural Manitoba until she was seven, when the family moved to Nakusp, BC, where she took all her schooling. She lived in many places: Cache Creek, Burnaby, Slocan, and for the past 22 years, Salmon Arm.
She married Daniel O’Brien in 1993, and they added three children to the family, all girls adopted from China.
Glenda was predeceased by her parents, and her sister Donna. She is survived by husband, Daniel, their three daughters Jubilee, Rebekah and Natanya, sister Gloria (Mitchell) Mott and a host of other family members who love and miss her.
O’Brien, Glenda
SHERRINGTON, Robert DonaldRobert (Bob) Sherrington was born on May 21st, 1930 in High Prairie, Alberta. He passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 4th, 2015 in Vernon Jubilee Hospital at the age of 84.
Bob will be sadly missed by his wife, Mary (Molly); sister Mary; five children: Cam, Sue (Rod), Debbie (Lloyd), John (Eera), Tom (Nicole); eight grandchildren & three great grandchildren.
In 1949, Bob went to Toronto to attend the Radio College of Canada and qualified as a serviceman and repair technician. Bob and Mary were married in 1950. They started their 64-year journey in Toronto, later moving to his hometown of High Prairie in 1952. Mary taught school and Bob owned a radio repair shop. In 1956 they moved to Arrow Park, B.C. where Bob and Mary built a house and raised a family. Due to the flooding of the Columbia River they moved to Vernon, B.C. where Mary taught at BX School for 20 years. After retiring in 1985, Bob and Mary moved to Fauquier, B.C. Here Bob was a HAM operator (VE7DLX) and continued his lifelong interest in building radios and sound equipment. Due to ill health, Bob and Mary returned to Vernon eleven years ago, where, after surgery, Bob enjoyed travelling the streets of Vernon on his electric chair.
There will not be a service. His family will gather together at a later date for a celebration of life.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Pleasant Valley Funeral Home,

EDUCATION
IN NELSON
Th e Wildfl ower Middle school has
a real sense of community and it is
really engaging. Th e class discussions
we have are really interesting. I like
how we can choose our areas of study
for our inquiry projects. I like how we
have a school garden. — Quinn
Th is school is awesome! Th e school
makes learning fun and the staff is
awesome.
— Graham
What makes WMS such a good
school is that there is a real sense of
community and a commitment to
learning from the teachers and the
students.
— Xavi
I fi nd WMS awesome because you
learn in diff erent ways because you are
mixed in with diff erent age groups.
Another attribute of awesomeness is
that everyone has a positive attitude.

Jack
For myself aft er a long week of
school and work I look forward to
the Friday home-school day. Aft er all
the homeschool work is done you can
spend time with your friends and fam-
ily or do an out-of-school activity.
— Morgaine
We get to call the teachers by their
fi rst names. We only have two teach-
ers in our class so they get to know
each student really well. Th e students
all get along and are not gossipy or
mean. We do lots of interactive group
activities and active learning. Th e
teachers give us responsibilities. For
example, students who are in the P.E.
group designed the P.E. activities and
helped teach them to the class. Learn-
ing is fun. Students are not afraid to be
themselves!
— Sonam
We spend two to three years with
one teacher. Th e teachers take the time
to get to know you. Bullying doesn’t
happen here.
— Dierdra
I like that there is home schooling
on Fridays, and that you can work at
your own pace.
— Holly
WMS has a nice community. Kids
work at their own pace, and people
support each other. —

The Arrow Lakes News will be publishing a special section celebrating education in our community. There are two parts to this unique section.
The � rst, and most exciting part, is that we are going to get the students themselves to draw up the advertisements. This is a great opportunity for students to learn about marketing and advertising while at the same time having a great time participating in this neat project. This is a great opportunity for advertisers, because your ad has a totally unique look and the readership for this section is amazing.
The second aspect to this section is that we write stories on speci� c projects and initiatives happening inside our Nakusp and area schools.

NAKUSP APRIL 20, 2015
6:30 PM AT NAKUSP ELEMENTARY SCHOOL -BONNINGTON ARTS CENTRE-
Birds of NakuspI had a phone call last week
from a person building some bird boxes. He wanted to know the appropriate size to make the entrance hole. � is is just one of a number of things to consider when building homes for birds.
Most birds are quite fussy, and will only use boxes that meet their rather exacting require-ments. For an arti� cial nest box to be considered, it must have a number of physical properties as well as a suitable location. In addition to an entrance hole the right size, the � oor area must be correct as well as the height of the hole above the � oor. Once built, the box must be placed in
a suitable location at a suitable height above the ground. Below is a table giving some of these important dimensions for a few of our more common cavity nest-ing birds.
Flickers are quite large and prefer a nest site that is quite open. � ey frequently use dead snags that do not have a lot of branches that might get in their way. Chickadees and nuthatches are forest birds and normally nest amongst the trees. I have, however, seen a wide variety of chickadee nest sites over the years. One year a pair nested in a box I had mounted on the end of my house just below the eaves, a site intended for swallows. � is site was very much in the open and not particularly close to any
trees! Both Violet-green and Tree Swallows would favour such a site. Bluebirds prefer to nest away from trees. A favoured site would be a box on a fence post adjacent to a � eld or other open area. One other factor o� en over-looked by nest-box builders: DO NOT put a perch at the entrance hole. Consider all of the natural cavities used by birds, none come with a perch; the birds need to be able to � y up to the hole and grab it with their feet. A perch just gets in the way.
If you are considering putting up some bird boxes this year do it now. Some of our birds begin their search for suitable nest sites quite early. I have already seen chickadees investigating holes and crevices in trees and stumps.
