RCMP arrests local residentOn August 11 the Nakusp RCMP executed a search

warrant of a local residence and arrested 42 year-old Thomas Dill.

Corporal Jason Burndred explains that the search war-rant was enacted when the detachment “received some information that Mr. Dill was in possession of a firearm of some kind and was using it in a threatening manner.”

Dill has been charged with numerous offenses includ-ing unauthorized possession of a firearm, pointing a fire-arm, possession of Marihuana for the purpose of traf-ficking, and possession of property obtained by crime. Dill will remain in custody until his next court date on August 18.

Burndred would like to assure the community that the Nakusp/Slocan Lake RCMP is committed to working in partnership with the community to reduce property crime offences.

“It is one of our priorities; property crime is a devas-tating crime and it affects a lot of people, especially in small communities. One of the things that I would like to ensure is done is that when there is property crime we do everything within our ability to make sure files are investigated thoroughly and where at all possible, people are charged for offences and property is returned to the victims.”

The RCMP encourages community members to report property crime.

A number of envi-ronmental factors have resulted in the province announcing a level 3 drought rating for the Kootenay Columbia re-gion. This includes an angling closure of all streams in the Kootenay region effective August 15 through to Septem-ber 15. As of this publi-cation, the Arrow Lakes has no angling restric-tions, please check www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/fish/regulations for updates.

Level 3 drought con-ditions call for voluntary water-use reductions from all municipal, ag-ricultural and industrial users. Reservoir stores are in place to support municipalities and re-gional districts, how-ever, all water users are encouraged to observe local water conservation bylaws to prolong wa-

ter supplies. The angling closure is in response to ongoing warm water temperatures and low flows and is enabled through the B.C. Sport Fishing Regulations of the federal Fisheries Act. Angling closures are not always directly related to drought, but this season’s low stream flows and high temperatures have necessitated a suspen-sion of fishing to reduce the stress on fish popula-tions.

Drought conditions are determined by fac-tors including regional stream flows, water stor-age capacity, ecological concerns, weather fore-casting and impacts on water users. The high-est drought rating is a level 4, which, if declared could result in provin-cial water managers ex-ercising their authority to temporarily suspend short-term water per-mits or industrial water

licenses in affected wa-tersheds.

The Ministry of For-ests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations are closely monitoring river levels and ecosystems and are anticipating sig-nificant water supply shortages in 2015. In re-sponse, the B.C. govern-ment has collaborated with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada to complete a B.C. Drought Response Plan, which outlines actions to be taken proceeding, dur-ing, and immediately following a drought to reduce its impacts.

The B.C. government is reminding the public that water conservation is everyone’s responsibil-ity.

The Village of Nakusp is committed to oper-ating and maintaining safe and effective water services for its residents with trained and certi-fied staff members. Chief

Administrative Officer, Laurie Taylor assures that “water is a priority for the village” and there has been several projects recently approved that are designed to help im-prove the water distribu-tion system and reduce water loss.

The village has lawn and garden watering re-strictions in place from May to September to help conserve water use. “At this time the village will not be look-ing at additional water conservation actions in response to the drought announcement” Taylor confirmed.

Local lawn and gar-den watering restric-tions can be viewed on the Village of Nakusp website, nakusp.com/municipal-services/util-ities/water.

Rural issues goes national

Level 3 Drought and angling restrictions announced

A Regional District of Central Kootenay di-rector will take rural issues to the national stage when she represents BC at the Federation of Ca-nadian Municipalities board table.

Silverton’s Leah Main has been appointed to three committees: environmental issues and sustainable development; municipal infra-structure and transportation policy; and the rural forum.

“I’m very pleased to be sitting on these com-mittees as they were my top choices,” Main said in a prepared statement. “They definitely posi-tion me to have input on issues that greatly af-

fect rural areas and small municipalities, both economically and socially.”

Main explains that she is particularly con-cerned rural areas and communities are at a disadvantage in accessing programs. She is com-mitting to working with her colleagues across the country to overcome that deficit by raising awareness and helping to create supportive ini-tiatives within ongoing and new programs.

Main was elected to the Federation of Cana-dian Muncipalities’ BC caucus in June. She will attend her first board meeting in September in Fredericton.

Few toadlets, but fun and informativeReminding you to Recycle!Reminding you to Recycle!

The relative scarcity of toad-lets for Toadfest 2015 didn’t deter visitors from attending, nor did it seem to dampen their enthusi-asm for it. More than 200 adults and children dropped in to Sum-mit Lake Provincial Park over the three-hour session on August 12 to learn about Western Toads and other species in the area, and safe-ly transport some toadlets across the highway.

The event, now in its sixth year, is coordinated by the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP), with support from B.C. Parks, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Op-erations, Columbia Basin Trust, and the Ministry of Transporta-tion and Infrastructure (MOTI).

“The toadlet migration has cer-tainly been a huge one this year, but due to the very hot summer they emerged extremely early — the earliest some local residents have ever observed,” says FWCP Columbia Region Manager, Crystal Klym. “The bulk of them had moved in late July and early August which meant that it was more like a toadlet treasure hunt at Toadfest rather than a mass toadlet collection session. Most people, however, managed to find some, and learn lots about other species and the local ecosystem in the process which is the main

thing.” There are three migrations that

the Blue-listed (vulnerable) West-ern Toad make around Summit Lake. The adults descend to the lake to breed as soon as the ice comes off in spring, they return to the upland areas a few weeks later, and their offspring — the toad-lets, each about the size of a dime — emerge from the lake in their hundreds of thousands in sum-mer to migrate to upland habitat where they disperse and mature.

Each migration means that they have to cross Highway 6 and risk being squashed by the traffic. The installation of toad tunnels — the newest in 2014 — together with toad fencing, has significant-

ly reduced road mortality of the toadlets.

Typically attendees collect be-tween 10 and 20 thousand toad-lets each year at Toadfest but this year the count was under 1000. The toadlet migration was also unusual this year in that it was heavier towards the east end of Summit Lake.

The FWCP is a partnership between BC Hydro, the Province of B.C., Fisheries and Oceans Canada, First Nations and Public Stakeholders, to conserve and en-hance fish and wildlife impacted by BC Hydro dams.

The public is reminded not to collect toadlets outside of this or-ganized event.

On Sunday, August 9, eight riders, led by Tom Dickson of the Revelstoke ATV club, rode from the 3 Island Camp site to Rose-bery along the rail trail. The riders were from Revelstoke, Kelowna and Nanaimo ATV clubs. At Rosebery they were met by Ernie Knecht, president of the Arrow Lakes ATV club, and Jerry Van Immerzeel, vice-president, who loaded the machines onto a trailer for transfer to East Wilson road. From there the riders continued their circle tour to Wilson Lake, returning via the Na-kusp multi-use trail, to the 3 Island camp site where they were staying. They also rode Saturday from 3 Island to Shannon Lake road, Hailstorm Ridge and into the Slewskin area. The riders enjoyed the circle tours afforded by access of the Nakusp multi-use trail and the Summit Lake to Rosebery rail trail and the ability to directly access the trails from the ATV/OHV friendly 3 Island camp site.

I once again wish to thank the Nakusp and area Chamber of Commerce and the origi-nal authors of the detailed community infor-mation listings, which serve as a guide to a number of local � shing resources that are well worth visiting.

Examples of things to do and places to see while our current and future visitors are here, include pointing out some of the � shing op-portunities which abound throughout this portion of the lower Arrow Lakes. � ey stretch along the � � y-� ve miles of beautiful shoreline, and are on average, one-half to two miles wide.

Whether your catch includes Rainbow up to 20 pounds and Dolly Varden of up to 15 pounds one can be spurred on to try trolling and � y-� shing for small trout at the mouth of various creeks. Kokanee, which weigh-in at

under a pound are a special favourite and are partially accessible from a secondary road.

Arrow Lake south is thought to be one of the most productive Kokanee � sheries in southern BC with catch averaging in length from 10-11 inches and are most proli� c dur-ing the height of summer months (good to note this, so you can plan early for next year’s catch).

� e upper stretches of Arrow Lake geo-graphically measures 39 miles in length and two miles across. Fishing is known to be good here and includes Rainbow trout, Kokanee weighing in at under one pound, and Dolly Varden up to 15 pounds.

I suggest you clip and save the following descriptive list of breathtakingly beautiful and bountiful area lakes for future reference:

• Mosquito Lake (Arrow Park), two miles long and sporting Rainbow to 3 pounds • Box Lake, one mile in length, and l/4 mile wide, sporting Eastern Brook trout and Rain-bow. Note that only electric motors or oars are permissible.• Cameron Lake, access road from Whatshan

Lake, close to 40 acres sporting Rainbow and Brook trout to 2 lbs. • Caribou, Snow and Burton Creeks, � y � sh-ing for Rainbow trout mostly under 1 pound. Check that the lakes are open for � shing as some are closed year ‘round downstream to protect Dolly Varden spawners. Reached via Burton and/or secondary road. • Caribou Lakes stretches over 50 acres and of-fers Rainbow trout by � y or spinning, under 2 pounds. Located 20 miles from Arrow Park ferry, o� ering very good � shing, averaging 10-12 inches• Catherine Lakes, about 30 acres and Rain-bow trout to 4 pounds by � y or trolling• Horseshoe Lakes, secondary road to Wilson Lake from Brouse just south of Nakusp. Rain-bow trout to 1 pound by � y or trolling • Innoaklin River is 27 miles in length, � owing into Lower Arrow Lake at Edgewood. Eastern Brook trout and Rainbow to 12 inches. Fly and bait � shing.• Kimbol Lake, 60 acres, leaving the highway on the old Wilson Lake road to where Horse-shoe Lake Road branches o� . Fly and bait � shing for Rainbow trout to 1 pound. ATV

accessible only. • Kuskanax Creek, 23 miles long and � owing into the Upper Arrow Lakes at Nakusp. Good � y � shing, Dolly Varden up to 12 inches• Larson Lake, 15 miles by logging road from Arrow Park, about 10 acres in size, yielding Rainbow trout to 1 pound• Snowshoe Lake, 45 acres featuring Rainbow trout by � y and spinner. Rainbow 1/2 to 1 pound weight. No gas motors-electric ones only. • Whatshan Lake, 18 miles in length and 1 mile wide. Features Rainbow trout up to 3 pounds, excellent � y � shing with Dolly Varden trout up to 10 lbs. And some small Kokanee• Summit Lake, 10 miles east of Nakusp. Rain-bow trout up to 6 pounds by trolling or � y � sh-ing. Fish limit, closed during winter• Wilson Lake, 3 miles long, 1/4 mile wide features Rainbow trout to 8 pounds by � y and troll to 3 pounds plus small Kokanee• Wilson Creek, logging road from Rosebery which gives access. Rainbow trout and Dolly Varden on � y, spinner and bait. � e Creek is closed through the summer months to protect spawning � sh.

SENIORS’ COLUMN

My name is Susan Smith and I am in favour of the the old CPR rail bed becom-ing an official multi-use trail for the use of all of the people of Nakusp, surround-ing area and for our visitors to enjoy.

Recently barricades have been erected on this valuable right of way restricting the passage to persons that are healthy and able bodied, making the trail avail-able to a very small portion of the above. There are many dangers in the placement of these barriers.

Even if you are thinking this doesn’t in-volve yourself, it may through our econ-omy or other ways you are not thinking about. It may affect your future genera-tions, please keep the opportunities open for our future.

Yes people please talk to your neigh-bours, conversation is awesome and maybe your neighbour will realize how

important this is. It is about the here and now, it is about tomorrow and more important it is about 5, 10, 20 years from now. It is about our children’s, grandchildren’s legacy when there is nowhere else for them to access the the wilderness from their homes we will have this.

If the trail becomes a walking trail only, the portion from Nakusp to the view point will become impassible cutting out the continuous route to what I call Gods country. This a very serious matter and we can’t leave it go to wayside.

Please, I am begging people to think hard on this situation. It is my heritage and I am trying to protect its use for ev-eryone near and far.

Thank you everyone, Susan Smith,

Nakusp, BC

It is my understanding that the mission of the Protecting Animal Life Society (P.A.L.S.) is to protect animals within the Arrow Lakes region: dogs, cats, rabbits and other domesticated varieties. To accomplish this more effectively, the general public must be made aware of habituated resident pred-ator animals, such as bears and cougars.

According to the Arrow Lakes News, the public was made aware of the recent resident cougar through social media. What about all the people who are not on social media? After talking to many area residents, includ-ing some P.A.L.S. Board mem-bers, I learned that the cougar had been in the vicinity of Nakusp for

a long period of time, as cats and dogs went missing for the last six months.

I believe that it should be the mandate of P.A.L.S. to be proac-tive and warn the general public when a predator animal has be-come habituated in the Nakusp area. Depending on Conserva-tion Officer intervention and social media is not good enough. Once specific information is gathered, P.A.L.S. Should notify the Conservation Officer and issue a warning by newspaper and P.A.L.S. Notice boards. This would help the public to be more wary of the danger and take extra precaution with their pets.

This has been a busy summer with a lot of things happen-ing. It’s great to see the ALFA Guild Art Walk in place and the farmer’s market in full swing on Saturdays. Congratulations and a huge thank-you to the organizers of the August long weekend ball tournament and the Medieval Festival. The town was busy and your events pro-vided entertainment for anyone who want-ed something to do.

Unfortunately, our beach area has been less than welcoming with the logs and the small diving warf out of the water. If we had any idea that the water was going to get this low, we could have made arrangements to move everything. At the time of this ar-ticle, the water level is at 1410 feet and will be ending up at 1400 by the end of August. Normally our water level would be around 1435-1444. BC Hydro has said that they kept the water as high as they could before hav-ing to lower it for the requirements of the treaty. We still need to have a lot of discussion on the need for more stable water levels and the use of non-treaty storage water. Cur-rently, there is a study taking place on the topic of water levels and the Arrow Lakes Reservoir. The gov-ernment has ordered the study after receiv-ing feedback from the community meetings on the Columbia River Treaty.

The provincial gov-ernment has issued an information bulletin on water conservation for the Kootenay Co-lumbia region. We are now a Level 3 drought condition and the province is calling for a voluntary water-use

reduction of an addi-tional 20 per cent be-yond Level 2 — which brings us to a 30 per cent drop in useage. Ministry staff is close-ly monitoring river levels and ecosystems and is very concerned with the reduction in streams, lakes and aquifer levels which are dangerously low. If it continues, and a Level 4 is put in place, the water managers may exercise their au-thority to temporar-ily suspend short-term water permits or in-dustrial water licences in affected watersheds. Concern is that we will have a water shortage this winter. The vil-lage is monitoring our water supply and we encourage people to follow the provincial government’s request to cut water usage.

Please think of the low water levels and don’t wash your cars or houses, sidewalks etc. We need to ensure we have water for do-mestic needs. No one wants to be without drinking water.

On a more posi-tive note, The Village of Nakusp was suc-cessful in obtaining a Build Canada grant to get the funding for a pressure reducing valve which will be in place by the spring. This will alleviate the issues with the Sleepy Hollow area and the breaking of pipes and loss of water.

The village will pay one third with the province and the fed-eral government each putting in one third of the cost, around $86,666 each. A won-derful savings for the water users.

In June, the Direc-tor of Operations and I took the Grade 2 and 2/3 classes on a field trip to view the water treatment plant, the waste water treatment

plant (sewer) and the micro hydro plant. Several parents were present and suggested we offer this tour to residents so that they could see how all of this operates and the time put into these services for our vil-lage. We think this is a good idea and will be offering tours on Aug. 26 — one in the morn-ing and one in the af-ternoon. If you are interested, please call the village office 250-265-3689 to register.

Another piece of good news is that the requests for quotes have gone out for the building of four cable ferries. Council is ex-cited about this and we wish Waterbridge Steel the best of luck in the process. If Water-bridge Steel is success-ful, this will provide several jobs for our locals.

A heads up that the Household Hazardous Waste roundup will be taking place Septem-ber 26 at the Nakusp Arena parking lot from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Get rid of toxic chemi-cals, pesticides, oils and cleaners safely. In Nakusp old electron-ics, small appliances and power tools will be accepted. No com-mercial or industrial waste will be accepted.

In the middle of October, the recycling depot will be moved from the arena area to the landfill site. The residents of Na-kusp can have their recycling picked up curbside every second Thursday, a service that has been offered over the past year. All recycling items are to be placed in the blue see-through bags and placed in the same

area that your gar-bage pickup is placed. Cardboard does not need to be placed in the blue bags but must be broken down to a manageable size and secured. We will be working with the RDCK to provide a glass bin near the vil-lage office.

The village has installed barriers on the walking trail to prevent motor-ized access. This has prompted many resi-dents to voice their displeasure suggest-ing it is an unneces-sary and unwanted change. Although council understands the trail was popu-lar with motorized users, safety and li-ability are of utmost importance, and therefore has deter-mined that to ensure the safety of all us-ers, it is necessary to restrict the trail to non-motorized use. Over the years, the trail has become in-creasingly busy with all users and conflict has escalated. Coun-cil will continue to explore the situa-tion and determine the best long-term resolution. Issues include noise and dust complaints from residents along with specific incidents causing the safety and liability con-cerns. Council ap-preciates all the feed-back that has been received, especially that which includes ideas and sugges-tion on how best to accommodate the needs of both motor-ized and non-motor-ized users of the trail network in Nakusp.

In the past week we had the BC Beem-er’s (BMW motorcy-clists) returning to Nakusp once again. They have been com-ing here for well over

10 years to enjoy our beautiful community. On Sunday, we saw 55 Camaros come to town and park in the beach area. They travelled in from Revelstoke for a few hours and many lo-cals and tourists came out to take in the display and talk with the owners. We are certainly hoping that they will return again next year and stay a little longer.

On the Wild Side: New exhibit at the Studio Connexion Gallery

Living in rural B.C. grants us ample op-portunity to observe the wild world at large be it a bear catching salmon, a moose charg-ing through the forest, or an otter paying with her pups, our backyards are home to some of the most amazing creatures that nature has to offer.

Sharon Bamber’s art, currently on exhibit at the Studio Connexion Gallery until August 30, is of an equally amazing calibre. Done with pastels on masonite board, her paintings of local wildlife and scenery bring the Koo-tenays to life with a unique flair. From a dis-tance, they appear to be works of pure — and superb — realism; a photograph rendered in

pigment instead of printer ink. Look closer, though, and bits of colour — of impression-istic flair — leap out. “Realism to a point,” as it’s described on her website. This makes the subjects seem in motion and active but not out of focus or abstract. Sharon paints not just what she sees, but what she feels when she sees it.

Sharon’s passion for nature began at an ear-ly age. Her parents took her for walks in the forest near their home in Great Britain, point-ing out local flora and fauna as they went. Fast-forward to 1989, and Sharon graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Zoology from the University College of Swansea. Later, she began a career in landscape architecture. Still, she felt that something was missing.

That something was art. Above anything

else, Sharon finds that art helps her external-ize her passion for nature. As for why she uses pastels almost exclusively, Sharon says, “With oils or acrylics, there’s the paintbrush, the mixing board — there was always something between me and the scene. With pastels, you mix on the canvas. It’s the immediacy I love. It allows me to transmit my emotion to the piece with nothing in between.”

Emotion is a central theme of Sharon’s work. Every piece brings back memories of the events that inspired it, but one in particu-lar stands out for her.

“The swan has a lot of significance to me. It reminds me of time as a child, watching the River Thames with my grandmother.

� e memories associated with it are very important to me, so it’s one of my favourites,” she says.

Still, she says it’s impossible for her to pick a favourite piece.

“My favourite is whatever one I’m working on at the time,” she laughs. “I wake up itching to get to my latest proj-ect. I have to pry myself away just to eat.”

� e results of that dedication can be seen as clearly as the water of Kootenay Lake on a summer’s day.

New art exhibit by Sharon Bamber

“Thoughts of Home,” pastel on masonite board.

Several readers took me to task for last week’s commentary on the beginning of our long, hot federal election campaign.

They pointed out, among other things, that there are substantial cost increases to Elections Canada as well as higher spend-ing limits for the parties. And thanks to generous tax deductions for political dona-tions, taxpayers subsidize all party spend-ing whether they want to or not.

That’s the system as it is today, so rather than rail against it, it seems more useful to ask what we’re getting for our forced in-vestment in this exercise.

First, more leader debates. The tradi-tional main event organized by TV net-works for Oct. 8 appears to be a bust, with only Liberal lead-er Justin Trudeau and Green Party leader Eliza-beth May ex-pected to attend. C o n s e r v a t i v e leader Stephen Harper declined, prompting NDP leader Thomas Mulcair to say he will only take part in debates that include Harper.

Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair have agreed to a Sept. 17 debate hosted by The Globe and Mail and Google Canada. This one is to be focused on the economy, which should force participants to get beyond their talking points and pointing fingers.

On Sept. 28 there will be a debate fo-cused on foreign policy hosted by Munk Debates, a charitable foundation. Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair have accepted. May and Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe were not invited to either of these.

The national media have decided that the biggest issue currently is the trial of suspended senator Mike Duffy, but this has turned out to be a rehash of facts and assertions heard many times over by those who care.

The expense account abuse has pushed the issue of senate reform to the forefront. Harper declared his intention to starve the Senate by refusing any more appointments, after most provinces ignored his call to

elect their nominees.Trudeau, having expelled all Liber-

al senators from the party caucus, has warned that Harper’s plan and Mulcair’s long-standing position to abolish the Senate are both unworkable, if not unconstitutional. Trudeau has promised changes to the senate appointment process, but no specifics so far.

Party policies are being doled out one bit at a time, and the national and local candidate debates may help clarify them. Here are a couple that could use closer scrutiny.

Harper has promised to revive a stimu-lus program from the 2009 economic crisis, offering a 15 per cent tax credit for home improvements between $1,000 and $5,000. This sounds great if you’re a homeowner, but does nothing for renters, drives up

the cost of hous-ing in already overpriced urban markets and en-courages more consumer debt.

Trudeau has promised an ad-ditional $2.6 bil-lion over four years for First Nations educa-tion on reserves, and accelerated spending on

school infrastructure.Mulcair has promised to hold a na-

tional inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women. Mulcair and Trudeau both pledge to reverse the Conservative moves to eliminate what’s left of door-to-door mail delivery, and to extend the age of eligibility for the Old Age Security pension from 65 to 67.

All of these promises are presented in the most appealing way possible by the parties that promote them, and all involve spending and taxation trade-offs that the parties would prefer not to discuss.

Another possible dividend from a for-mal campaign stretching more than two months is that more voters will pay atten-tion to the real issues and actually take the time to cast a ballot. If that happens, and the long decline in voter turnout is re-versed, it’s a good investment.

August 21, 1925 A new Siren Fire Horn, of the

Sterling make, was purchased by E.W. Somers and installed on the Bank building. This siren is a “dandy.” It gives a loud, clear, distinctive noise, varying accord-ing to the contract. It is placed on the back corner of the Bank building and is operated by a but-ton on the corner of the building. It is mounted high enough to be reached by adults, but out of reach to the kiddies. With this loud dis-tinct siren and the whistles of the mills, any warning ought to be heard by the citizens. The blasts from the mill whistles will indi-cate the fire location, fires on the lake front will be announced by five short and two long, while five shorts and one long will be for uptown fires. While at the coast, Mr.Somers also purchased mate-rial for two more hydrants and five stand pipes, which will im-mediately be placed in positions best suited to the needs of the town.

For the first time in many years there was a rush on the local bank. This occurred on Monday, owing to the fact that the rain quelled the fires so much that fire fighters could come to town on Sunday. A large number of Doukhobors wanted to get away on the down boat and consequently presented their cheques at the bank, which found it impossible to meet them all.

Little Slocan Fire did by far the most damage and much sym-pathy is extended to those who suffered so much loss. At T.B. Hall’s ranch the fire made a clean sweep- house, barn, out build-ings, machinery, tools, house-hold furniture, cattle, 30 tons of hay, all destroyed. R.J. Sutherland and Paul Bruin, neither of whom were resident at their ranches, lost all their buildings. R.G. War-ner, W.E. Warner, Alec Hurst and K. Popoff lost 20 head of cattle amongst them.

August 23, 1945 Mr. and Mrs. A.E. Gates, who

recently purchased the St. Leon Hotel, have taken possession and have two men employed repairing the building. They have elaborate and costly plans which include tourist and hunting lodges in the woodland trails at the back of the hotel. The property was pur-chased from Miss Grace Rixon, former owner of the Revelstoke Hotel, who had purchased it it on the strength of the Nakusp-Ar-rowhead road going in. The hotel was built and held for many years by Mike Grady. St. Leon used to be a very popular summer resort, many Revelstoke people owning summer cottages there.

The Burn The Mortgage Dance, as part of the end of the War celebration was one of the largest dances ever held in Na-kusp. .People attended from all points in the district.

August 18, 1955The citizens of Nakusp turned

out in large numbers for a send-off party for the 8 Queen Scouts from Nakusp attending the World Jamboree at Niagara-on-the-Lake. H.W. Herridge, MP, re-called a similar send off in 1912 when scouts went to Nelson. Bert Gardner, chairman of the Scout Committee, presented the boys with the funds which they and the whole community had helped raise. Wayne Highland, David Horrey, Bob West, Bill McMullen and Denis Stanley were the Scouts leaving. They were preceded by Doublas Baird, now a leader, and Mr. Peter Hurry, Cub Master

August 21, 1985 Silverton Municipal Hall is

taking on a new look thanks to the $72,835 Canada Works grant announced last January. The five people who have been hired by the Village of Silverton have transformed the municipal hall from a dull, unworkable facility to a modern, bright, very usable facility.

• This Week in History •

Birds of NakuspAugust is sometimes a difficult time of year to

find something to write about in these articles. Firstly, the flurry of breeding activity that oc-curred in June and July is now over. Furthermore, many of the brightly coloured males are moult-ing out of their breeding finery and reverting to a more subdued set of clothes for the winter, mak-ing them much less obvious. Singing has more-or-less ceased, which also makes birds harder to detect. Finding birds in August can be hard work! And as August progresses, many of our birds will be heading south.

In many parts of B.C., the August “doldrums” are offset by a flurry of activity among the shore-birds. Most shorebirds, (a group which includes the sandpipers and plovers), breed in northern B.C. and the Yukon. They generally begin their southward migration much earlier than most other species. The males can begin their journey as soon as eggs are laid, which could be as early as late June! By mid August the females and young are also starting to appear. In suitable locations, shorebirds can be seen in large mixed flocks. Over fifty species have been reported in B.C. and sort-ing through the flocks to determine which species are present can take time. And birders are always looking for that elusive rarity to bring a bit of ex-citement to the day. Unfortunately for us, very few shorebirds find our valley suitable for feeding, presumably due to the unstable water levels on Arrow Lake. The only place that seems to provide some shorebird habitat is the flats at Burton. But even this location is variable due to the inconsis-tent water levels from year to year. The birds feed on the freshly exposed mud flats as water levels

recede. Some years the water levels are kept high well into September; by the time suitable mud is being exposed, the birds have already passed through. Other years, like this year, the water re-cedes much too soon. Most shorebird species have established traditional migration routes based on the reliability of food sources along the way. Since Arrow Lake does not provide a reliable food source, we see very few shorebirds in the valley.

Even though we won’t be seeing the thousands of shorebirds that some birders get annually, we will be visited by a significant number of gulls. The first few generally arrive early in the month. These birds represent the beginning of an annual invasion that come to feed on dead and dying ko-kanee. Burton is generally the best location since three streams share the same mouth. At their peak in September, there will be 600-800 gulls in that area alone. In addition, look for a few hun-dred each at the mouths of the Kuskanax Creek and Halfway River. A few will also congregate on smaller streams like MacDonald Creek. Most of these gulls are California Gulls, with a few Her-ring Gulls mixed in. (Herring Gulls have pink legs, California, yellow). A close look and a keen eye can sometimes find other species in the mix. The highlight was a Lesser Black-backed Gull, which I found amongst the flock several years ago. At the time, it was only the second sighting of this species in B.C. Other species that have been recorded during the fall migration include: Sabine’s Gull, Franklin’s Gull, Bonaparte’s Gull, Ring-billed Gull, Thayer’s Gull, Mew Gull and Glaucous-winged Gull. What surprises will 2015 bring?
