Kathy Smith made her acceptance speech � rst, “I got the call about the award and thought, ‘you must have the wrong number.’ I want to thank my hus-band who is also my partner and a great support. He allows me the freedom to become as involved as I do.”
At the end of her speech, she was sure to remind everyone that the PALS plant sale is scheduled for next week, May 9, in the parking lot of Valley Foods. “We’ll be there starting at 9 a.m.” to which everybody laughed, because she was promoting one of her volunteer causes even during her own mo-ment in the spotlight.
To Kathy Smith, the honour was a humbling ex-perience. She sat down with the Arrow Lakes News prior to the ceremonies and said, “I don’t feel wor-thy of such an award when there are so many people that do so much. It has been said that it’s the same eight people dedicating their time but that’s not true. It’s a real honour to be selected, and then to be chosen.”
Len Smith said in his acceptance speech, “Kathy is a mover and a shaker. It’s a real honour to be nominated alongside her. She is incredibly orga-nized, enthusiastic, and honest. I appreciate the honour tonight because I represent the worker bees. You have a group of gi� ed people at the top, but you always need the people there setting up tables and cleaning the � oor. I am one of those. If she (Kathy) is there doing something, I am there too.”
Legion President Harvey Truax then present-ed Ken Williams with the Lifetime Achievement award, as nominated by nine di� erent parties. He was honoured for his contributions over many years
to the Arrow Lakes Historical Society, the museum, the golf course, the Legion, and most recently driv-ing the Minto medical bus for people who need to travel to Kelowna for medical appointments.
“When I was told I would be receiving this award, I thought, ‘you haven’t been here long enough or done enough.’ But when I think about it I guess I have been here for 40 years now. I am most proud of my work with the hospital board. I was the chair for nine or ten years,” Williams said.
Grade 12 student Taylor Aeichele, received the Youth Award — the � rst since 2008.
“I’ve spent a lot of my time giving back, and it’s a really nice feeling to be appreciated by the com-munity.” Nominated by Beth McLeod, Aeichele was recognized for her contributions to minor soccer, student council, the grad 2015 committee, student contributor to the SD10 committee of the whole, the Nancy Greene ski league and the Nakusp El-ementary School ski program, where she is a bit of an icon to the younger children. One of Aeichele’s biggest fans, Kate Watt, age 6 attended the award ceremony with her father to show her appreciation.
An open mic allowed members of the communi-ty to share stories and kudos to the honourees, a� er which a moment of silence was held to recognize past honourees who are no longer living.
Rotary Citizen of the Year Awards have been held annually since 1974 in Nakusp, and several re-cipients were present on Saturday. Incoming Presi-dent Harry Ellens said, “You don’t see them backing down. � ey are still out there, doing what is asked of them.”
Such is the mark of a person worthy of such an honour.

� e issue of mental health is o� en misunderstood and the people who su� er can be afraid to be open about their conditions because of the negative reactions of others. Having a mental illness can be a burden when it comes to gaining and maintaining relationships, employment, friendships and housing. Openness and communica-tion can go a long way to combating negative stereotypes of those who su� er from these illnesses.
Sarah James, Community Integrated Health Services, Kootenay Boundary says, “We need to talk and teach our children from a young age that mental illness is normal. � e more we bring the facts around mental health out into the open, the less stigma.”
To become aware that an individual might be su� ering from an undiagnosed mental illness, there can be many subtle changes in various aspects of a person’s life. Some likely symptoms include: lack of appetite, loss of interest in things that are normally joyful, or sometimes it is a friend or a loved one that may notice changes. James suggests asking for help from a family doctor or local mental health resources site so that a person can be seen and a personal-ized treatment plan can be started. � e most important thing to remember is that it is an illness and there is no shame in needing help.
A source who requested anonymity based on concerns about
social stigma said, “It may be a long time coming, but I look for-ward to the day when a mental health issue is treated the same way as a physical malady. Someone who has a heart problem doesn’t su� er the judgement as does someone with bipolar disorder.”
Overcoming the negative stigma around mental illness means accepting there is something wrong. Next is � nding the courage to ask for help.
James says, “Self-care is very important and having a team of professional mental health clinicians including your own family doctor is very important. Take it a day at a time, make small attain-able goals and don’t beat yourself up if things don’t go to plan. Be open and honest with those around you so that they can support you. It is important to know that mental illness can happen to any-one at any time and you are not alone. Interior Health endeavours to ensure that high quality care is available to all people who live rurally.”
For those who may be su� ering in silence, or unknowingly, Interior Health provides free support for residents in the Arrow Lakes region. � ere are two clinicians: a registered nurse, and a so-cial worker. Services provided include intake and urgent response, adult short-term assessment and treatment services, case manage-ment, and seniors mental health services, outreach support, and clubhouse support groups. More information can be found at www.interiorhealth.ca under the Mental Health and Substance Use de-partments. Healthlink BC can give advice and make connections.

Children in the Arrow Lakes have the opportunity to get their golf on thanks to an innovative and fun junior golf pro-gram o� ered by a local grandmother with a handicap of 8. For those who don’t play, the lower the number the better the golfer. According to golfsmith.com, men’s aver-age handicap is 16 and ladies’ is 29, just to o� er some context.
“I’m not a pro, but I am a pretty good golfer and I wanted to do something to en-courage the younger generation to become involved,” golf instructor Linda Henke said.
Henke and her husband Richard own
the Little Summit Driving Range, which is a� liated with the Nakusp Centennial Golf Club and open daily 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. between April to October. For $6., any-body can buy a bucket of balls and hap-pily swing away for an hour or more amid a spectacular 360 degree mountain view. Clubs are also available to rent.
Henke has been involved with the ju-nior golf program since retiring from her BCLC job in 2011. She is passionate about the game and hopes to inspire others to play. � e lessons are $50 or $60 for four sessions, depending on the child’s skill lev-el. � e programs di� er. Classes are small- four kids in each; beginners learn exclu-sively at the driving range. More advanced children start their sessions at the driving
range and then go on to play 9 holes with Henke coaching on the greens. Henke tries to group friends together in the same lesson, “to encourage them to enjoy it and to make friends who golf so that they can play together for a lifetime.”
“We don’t always make it to the end, but that’s alright,” Henke explained. � e students are getting used to playing a real game, how it works, golf etiquette and what the rules are.
“I hope that my drive turns the kids on. I want it to be fun for them. You can play anywhere at any time once you learn how. It’s a great skill to have,” Henke said.
� e sessions are o� ered in May and June each year and sign up is available through Nakusp Elementary School.

Editorial
Hallmark would have us believe all moth-ers are soft, caring, giving and nurturing su-per humans who put their children before themselves and would never utter an unkind word. Her love is the deepest; she protects her children fiercely. A mother becomes chauf-feur, playmate, provider, protector, confidant, chef, counsellor, cheerleader, disciplinarian, role model, teacher, nurse, and if you are lucky, friend.
There are so many expectations on the modern mother: staying at home to raise children is criticized as not being “work”. Go-ing to work outside the home is criticized be-cause then “someone else is raising your chil-dren”. How does a mother win? Each woman must choose the right path for herself and be comfortable enough with her decision to de-fend it if necessary.
Praise to the mother who does it solo — not by choice but by circumstances, she finds herself alone to protect and prepare her chil-dren for life without a partner to help. This woman digs down deep and does what is nec-essary to provide financially and emotionally while running the household, taking care of the bills and, hopefully, remembering to take care of herself in the mix.
Some of us were born to mothers who did their best but weren’t able to give us the kind of foundation that prepared us for life. Com-ing to a place where we can forgive them their shortcomings and love them anyway, at least for the fact that they gave us life — is a gift that only we can give ourselves. Ultimately mothers are human too.
And for the fathers who are both mom and dad — your struggle is real. Providing a nurturing, emotional foundation to your children and fulfilling a domestic role tradi-tionally reserved for women isn’t easy. Tying your daughter’s hair up or kissing your son’s scraped knee doesn’t come naturally, nor does putting a hot meal on the table nightly yet somehow you make it work. Kudos.

One of my all-time favourite wild vege-tables is ready and waiting for the picking. My mouth waters even at the thought of it gracing my dinner plate. If you have never tried � ddleheads I strongly suggest you do so immediately. Fiddleheads can substi-tute almost any vegetable called for in any recipe. When steamed they have a ten-dency to be bitter like rapini, when boiled they have a milder � avour comparable to spinach or broccoli, or when sauteed they tend to taste like asparagus. When individuals state “� ddlehead fern” they’re most likely speaking about the ostrich fern. Not all ferns are edible so caution must be used in identifying the right spe-cies. Ostrich � ddlehead stalks are smooth and naked of any scales or wool, but the coiled tops are full of brown papery � akes. � e top side of the stalk (or, the part fac-ing the center of the rosette) has a deep, U-shaped trough running its entire length this is an important feature to look for. You crop � ddlehead ferns by gently snap-ping them o� when they’re at least 2 inch-
es o� the forest � oor. You can continue to harvest as long as the � ddleheads are still tender and the leafy portion of the frond is not yet unfurled. Remember to only take a couple from each plant so the fern can still prosper. As soon as you bring your bounty home they should be stored in the fridge; or for best results and longer shelf life, in cold water. And once you see what health bene� ts this gourmet forest green has to o� er, you will be gathering them in no time.
Health bene� ts of Fiddleheads:1. Good vegetarian source of omega-3
and omega-6 essential fatty acids, which is shown to enhance memory, enhance cho-lesterol levels and also help with weight loss.
2. Fiddleheads have shown to have as much as two times the antioxidant capac-ity of blueberries!
3. � e mixture of e� ective antioxidants combined with the heavy dose of omega 3 fats helps you to regulate the body’s in-
� ammation path.4. Great source of weightbalancing � -
ber as half a cup of � ddleheads contain 7g of dietary � ber. � e � ber in � ddleheads is ideal for anybody struggling with Ir-ritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) simply be-cause they need to be perfectly cooked just before consuming. � is will make � ddleheads calming and simply digested without any soreness, whilst curing the digestive tract.
5. Prevent cardiovascular disease as they include more than 30 per cent of the everyday requirement of niacin. Niacin boosts HDL cholesterol as well as aids in reducing LDL cholesterol to avoid arterial buildup as well as enhance circulation.
6. 120 per cent of recommended daily requirements of vitamin A which is ad-ditionally referred to as retinol. � is is important for the performance of eyes, kidneys, bladder and also membranes. Re-search studies suggest that natural foods rich in vitamin A help the body protect

against lung and oral cavity cancers.
7. Good Source of Macronutrients. In spite of being stu� ed with water, a 100 g serving of raw � ddle-head ferns has 5.54 g of carbohydrate as well as 4.55 g of protein. � is leads to 10% of an adults everyday protein requirement.
8. Fern shoots are a very good source of minerals and electro-lytes, especially potas-sium, iron, manganese, and copper. 100 g of fresh shoots contains 370 mg or 7 per cent of daily required levels of potassium. Potas-sium is a heart friendly electrolyte, which helps reduce blood pressure and heart rate by coun-tering sodium e� ects.
9. � eir unique sweet taste comes from their richness in vita-min C. 100 g of fresh fronds contains 26.6
mg or 44 per cent of daily required levels. Vitamin C is a mod-erately potential water soluble antioxidant.
Together with � a-vonoid compound like carotenes, it helps
scavenge harmful free radicals, and o� er protection from can-cers, in� ammation, and viral cough and cold.
I have tried � ddle-heads many di� erent ways and have found that my favourite so far has been when sim-ply sauteed in butter and garlic. � ey can be eaten raw but it is sug-gested to do so, only in small amounts. � is weekend I plan to make the following recipe for my family gathering on Mother’s Day. Fingers crossed it goes over well! So in closing, and as I dream for this com-ing weekend's feast, I will leave you with the quote I try to live by. “Let food be thy medi-
cine, and medicine be thy food” Hippocrates.
Happy Mother’s Day to all you Mamas out there and Happy For-aging!

� e following information comes as good news for those of us who live on a low income, who are seniors or who live with a disability,
� e province of British Columbia, in association with the federal govern-ment, is presently o� ering a program entitled Home Adaptations for Inde-pendence (HAFI). � is program pro-vides � nancial assistance to eligible applicants who wish to continue to reside in the comfort of their home.
As most of us are already aware, our physical needs begin to change as we grow older. Accordingly, there may be a need to modify one’s home environment by adapting the dwell-ing’s accessibility with the overall in-tention of promoting safe and inde-pendent living. If you or members of your family are experiencing di� culty in performing day-to-day activities, the HAFI funding assistance program may be available to help.
� ere are quali� cations levied in-cluding completion of an application form which explains the applicants’ income level, value of the property and various adaptations which are di-rectly related to your disability or di-minished abilities.
Included items, which may be up for consideration, include ramps to be installed for ease of accessibility making it easier to reach work and
storage areas in the kitchen or similar work area of the home. Other adapta-tions include the installation of ramps, hallway or stairway handrails. Level handles could be applied to doors as well as the addition of walk-in show-ers with grab bars or bathtub grab bars and seats.
All adaptations should be perma-nent and � xed to the home, although some exceptions can be made for equipment designed to improve ac-cess to existing parts of the dwelling such as bath li� s. Note however that supportive care items such as portable aids like walkers and household appli-ances are not eligible, nor are emer-gency repairs to roofs and furnaces as well as maintenance work to the home.
It is especially welcome news that � nancial program assistance of up to $20,000 per home may be avail-able through this program. � e exact amount will be based on the cost of materials and labour necessary for the required adaptations to be carried out.
Note that if the home you live in is rented by you, the landlord can apply for the grant on your behalf. � e as-sistance awarded arrives in the form of a grant or forgivable loan, however it is important to note you � rst must be quali� ed to take advantage of the program, and the application must be approved before the funds are forth-coming.
Contact BC Housing (Homeowner Protection branch) at 604-646-4789 for further information. To request the application forms be mailed out to you, call 604-646-7055. Download the documentation from www.bchousing.org.HAFI.

Nakusp Secondary School hosted their annu-al girls soccer tournament, Attack in the ‘Nak last weekend. Fi� een teams from around the Kootenay region were invited to participate in a two-pool play-o� bracket for the seniors and a � ve team round rob-in for the juniors.
� e junior girls continued to strengthen their core fundamentals and gel together as a team during the hurly burly of the tournament. � rown willingly into the � re, the young Cougars hit the ground run-ning for their home opener on Friday morning by facing o� against a technically sound Kaslo team. Despite the best of e� orts, the Cougars could not � nd the net and fell to a tough 6-0 loss. � e plight of the junior squad continued into the next match on Friday against the Trail A team, who also managed to � nd the net behind the Cougar keeper six times. Le� holding a big ‘ol goose egg twice in a row ignited the � re in the junior Cougars bellies and they regrouped Saturday morning for their match up against the Creston Bulldogs. Showing a little more cohesion, the girls rallied together and � nally earned their � rst tally when Indica Phillipson’s smart positional play intercepted a botched goal kick. Phillipson treaded into danger zone, then willfully put the ball away in the toy box for a 1-0 score that would endure right to the end of the match.
On the other side of the street in the senior divi-sion, the Cougar pack started o� slow, almost tenta-tive, but built on their momentum until they reached a frothing frenzy and rampaged through their pool all the way to the tournament � nal. A slurry of goals came from all directions, as the Cougars � exed their skill depth by dispatching Castelgar 2-0, Mt. Sentinel 5-0, Creston 3-1 then � nally pushing through Kim-berley 1-0 to punch their ticket to the championship.
Invariably su� ering from the physical exertion of the four-match climb to the top of their pool, the Cougars assembled on Zelzenik � eld for the � nal battle against their � rst place counterpart, Princess
Margaret. Both teams looked a little worse for wear during the warm up, as bruised and taxed muscles at-tempted to shake of pain and exhaustion in prepara-tion for some high quality soccer. At the whistle, the red Princess Margaret squad collided with the grey Cougars head-on like a thunderclap that dissolved all signs of fatigue from both squads. � e � eld of Zel-zenik observed a donnybrook, as unrelenting e� orts searched for precious inches through the strong de-fensive lines. Unfortunately, when Kira Striliev and Abby Boswell zigged for success, the strong fullback unit of Princess Margaret zagged, e� ectively neutral-izing any and all o� ensive threats. It was the Cou-gars who were � rst to falter, when a strong challenge by keeper, Adriel Goodman, was disrupted by poor communication and a streaking red striker was sud-denly goal-side of the play and easily slipped the ball into the net for a 1-0 lead.
� e Cougars fell back on their scruples and dug deep to soldier on trying to � nd an equalizer, but trouble befell the girls again when an aggressive challenge by Taylor Aeichele resulted in a penalty kick that was cashed in for a two-goal cushion.
Switching up strategies, the Cougar strikers and mid� elders abandoned the one on one zig-zag bat-tles in favor of delivering the ball over the red Magi-not line into the o� ensive zone. Unfortunately, speed was matched for speed, and the forward pushes were turned away. Unable to consolidate their e� orts, and � nding no clear paths to the net, the Cougars gave up one more goal for a � nal score of 3-0.

AmazementPastor Jim Reimer – Kootenay Christian Fellowship
What would you have to do to amaze Jesus? What amazes you? What makes your jaw drop? What leaves you standing there, unable to say a word because of the amazing thing you just witnessed? Is it a sunset? Is it a performance at an Olympic event? A drum solo at a concert? Or the incredibly stupid thing somebody just did? Our amazement is usually provoked by the fact that we are
privy to something way beyond our ability or understanding. If that is true, then just what would it take to amaze Jesus? I am talking about the one who knows all, created us, can walk on water and raise the dead. If anyone could roll their eyes and say, “I’ve seen that before”, it would be Jesus. Yet the bible records Jesus was amazed on two occasions. On these occasions it had to do with people’s extraordinary faith or the lack there of. If you want to impress Jesus positively, exercise faith. If you want to amaze Jesus negatively, turtle in faith. What surprises me is that we don’t impress Jesus by our righteous acts, or our hard work, or even our knowledge of the bible. What really amazes Jesus is when an individual lives by faith and acts in faith. Trusting God can be di� cult. Our failed expectations,
disappointments, and failures challenge our ability to have faith in God. Here is what I have found; when I take tentative steps towards God, he meets me right there and my faith comes alive. I don’t need “big” faith, I just need to exercise the amount of faith I have. As my faith awakens, so does my hope and with hope comes encouragement. Soon those things that seem like mountains begin to shrink. Do you want to embark on an exciting journey? � en exercise faith towards God today. For background
to my devotional go to the � rst two books of the New Testament and read Matthew 8:5-13 and Mark 6:1-6.

Barrel racing workshop held at the Nakusp riding facility
Ten horse and rider duos took part in a specialized workshop last weekend held at Nakusp Creek Quarter Horses on Gensick Road. A huge dirt paddock became their classroom for two and a half days as they received individual coaching from one of the top names in the sport of barrel racing.
Special guest Judy Myllymaki, a former schoolteacher who hails from Montana was on hand to offer individual coaching for each of the participants and their hors-es as they learned technique first and speed second. Myllymaki earned her credentials in the National Finals Rodeo (NFR), one of the U.S.A.’s top venues for the sport, and she coaches NFR riders in addition to teaching clinics all over North America. She sits unassumingly on a tipped over barrel; one crutch leaning against the fence on her left and her salty little dachshund on a blanket in the shade behind her. Myl-lymaki speaks with an American accent into a headset mic in tones to match the instruction: quiet to instruct the rider to
slow down and focus on technique, strong and loud when she needs to get someone’s attention. She’s a professional; it’s easy to tell.
“Barrel racing is an intricate sport, re-ally for anyone who wants to improve their horsemanship. It helps to develop the rid-ers’ and the horses’ relationship. Having a clinician such as Judy instructing offers a way to isolate aspects of a person’s ability and to get individual coaching to fine tune their technique,” Janet Brown, organizer explained from atop her horse, Woody while she waited to be called in for her turn to ride and receive individual coaching.
Barrel racers who want to get serious in the sport can “run for money” so to speak. There are competitions happening all over the province and in Alberta where riders can take home saddles, buckles and even cash for their efforts. But many came to learn for other reasons.
Participant Shari Wahl said, “I really like seeing what I am doing so I can correct it. I would do this for 12 hours a day and start all over again tomorrow. There is nothing I would rather be doing.” Her goal? “To go
fast, but with precision.”Janet Brown, 68, has been breeding,
training and offering lessons in the horse world since her daughter Gina Volansky was 11 years old and got to barrel race in the Calgary Stampede. That was 35 years ago. One would never guess this woman is nearing 70 years old — she looks closer to 50 — maybe it’s the great outdoors and the horses keeping her so young. Watching her friends achieve their goals in the ring has no doubt some positive effect as well.
Brown explains, “I enjoy watching peo-ple learn. Horses are animals with their own minds. It can be really challenging sport but to watch their progress gives me great satisfaction. But I sometimes think I am getting too old for this.”
Barrel racing isn’t the only high-adren-aline event happening at Brown’s facility. The Arrow Lakes Saddle Club will be host-ing a gymkhana at the Brown property on the weekend of May 9 and spectators are welcome to attend. Gymkhana is a sport involving speed pattern racing and timed games on horseback and promises to be action packed.

May 9, 1935 Nakusp was favoured
with good weather, for a change, for the sports day on May 6, held in honour of the King’s Sil-ver Jubilee. To make the day special for children, a small silk Union Jack was presented to each child on the grounds. � e a� ernoon’s sports were started with a � ag
salute by the Public and High School children under the leadership of G.C. Martin. By far the outstanding event of the day was the Children’s Parade, one of the most successful parades ever held in Nakusp. Quaint little Victorian ladies marched by ragged vic-tims of the depression, Indian and gypsies fol-lowed closely, stately patriotic personages. � ere were two Dr. Da-foes and three lots of quintuplets. Quite an addition to the parade was the arrival of the “King and Queen” in their decorated coach drawn by noble charger with postilion.

People engaged in sport and physical activity in the Columbia Basin can look forward to improved support through the newly formed PacificSport Co-lumbia Basin Society. Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) and ViaSport are providing $800,000 and $300,000 respectively toward this initiative over the next three years.
The society’s primary goals are to promote sport and physical activity in the Basin; provide services and programs for local athletes, coaches, officials and volunteers; and promote health by encouraging and helping the public to participate in physical activities.
Still in its formative stages, the society will work with Basin communities and organizations, as well as access the broader provincial alliance of sports organizations that serves as a resource hub to educate,
inspire and enable residents to participate, play and perform, no matter their activity or level of expertise.
“This will benefit people of all ages, from those wishing to have fun and stay fit, to those striving to excel in their sport,” said Janis Neufeld, new Board member and President, Kootenay Sufferfest Society. “We’ll make better use of the facilities we already have while improving our ability to attract and re-tain coaches and support our volunteers. By having communities work together, it will help eliminate some of the barriers and boundaries that this region encounters.”
CBT supports efforts to deliver social, economic and environmental benefits to the residents of the Colum-bia Basin. To learn more about the Trust’s programs and initiatives, visit cbt.org or call 1-800-505-8998.
