flocks of birds landing there, Paul Trussel wrote in the first issue of the Trail Journal of Local History: “In 1912 … dad negotiated with the CPR to have a nearby flag-stop for up-lake trips of steamers and recommended that the location be designated Birds Landing after the original surveyor of the area.” Although neither was a surveyor, the landing was possibly named after brothers Robert Montagu (1863-1939) and Harry Bird (1857-1940), who ran a real estate, insurance, and mining business in Nelson, and dealt in Arrow Lakes properties.

BOSUN LANDING This spot between Silverton and New Denver on Slocan Lake was first mentioned in The Ledge of October 13, 1898: “A good road has been built from the lakeshore to the workings and the ore is shipped from the Bosun landing.” Bosun is also the name of a mine, ranch, and New Denver opera house, all named by Joseph Colebrook Harris (1871-1951), who came to the area in 1897. The name honoured a ship’s bosun he met in Vancouver who struck an officer. Facing serious punishment, the bosun was “only too willing” to help Harris get his goods onto the train BIRDS LANDING bound for the Slocan, according This place was on the west shore Harris’ late granddaughter, Nancy of Upper Arrow Lake, a little north Anderson. of Arrow Park.

Bakers Landing on Kootenay Lake’s east shore was named for Reginald Herbert Baker (18571924). Baker’s family and a few others were shown living there on the 1911 census. In Impressions of the Past, authors Terry Turner and Susan Hulland quote a March 14, 1914 diary entry by Thomas Langton: “Mr. Parkinson started for Bakers in the evening to get the mail but could not find the place so I took him down in the rowboat.” By May, Bakers Landing was on the CPR timetable. Turner and Hulland say Bakers was the area of the Pilot Peninsula consisting of Lots 2560 and 4962 and adjoined the community of Pilot Bay to the south. While it never officially had a post office, anecdotal evidence strongly suggests that there was one. Postal records indicate the Pilot Bay post office moved to Kootenay Bay in 1908, but in Four Score and More, William Fraser writes that it moved one mile north to the old McLellan property, which became Bakers Landing. Fraser says Reginald Baker ran the post office from his home. Indeed, the 1915 civic directory listed Baker as postmaster. It’s not clear how long this continued, but by 1918 Baker was listed simply as a rancher, and mail for Bakers Landing was addressed via Kootenay Bay. A late mention came in the Creston Valley Advance of February 28, 1972: “Rosemary Gunther lives at Bakers Landing in a very old house.”

How did we get here, and how do we get home? JIM SINCLAIR WKA Editor

In a modern urban landscape, even without the benefit of an up-to-date GPS unit, there’s a reasonably good chance a person can find their way around with the benefit of a basic map. It’s not true in every case, but city planners are likely to include a predictable grid system, especially straightforward if numbers are used for streets and avenues. It’s when the seemingly unavoidable quirks in the system show up that frustration kicks in and help is required. An introduction of the pursuit of orienteering was held this past Saturday at Selkirk College in Castlegar and the weather could not have been more suitable. Doug and Linda Clark led the session and a small group of interested folks took part. Consider being plunked in the middle of a strange wilderness environment, with no familiar landmarks. You have the benefit of a map and compass, but unless you’re familiar with their proper use you could

still spend a lot of time getting to where you need to be. It could mean inconvenience and, in some cases, it could mean danger. With an accurate map and a compass a person trained in orienteering can move to where they need to be. Valuable time and energy is not wasted as futile routes are attempted, only to be abandoned. With orienteering capability, a properly equipped adventurer can find the right route. These

skills are based on having no GPS unit available. It’s kind of like the value of knowing math when your calculator packs it in.

MARITIMES BY MOTORCOACH

Doug and Linda Clark are quite keen on orienteering skills. It could be called a

hobby but it’s kind of more than that. The people involved like to get involved in competitive events but the skills are valuable ones that could quite conceivably save lives. The Clarks are relative newcomers to the area, and will likely stage future orienteering sessions. For more information, call the Kootenay Orienteering Club – 250-365-3036.

Sculpture Talk

2012

Welcome to our regular feature introducing the artists behind the sculptures in this year’s Castlegar SculptureWalk. half silhouettes, one masculine, one feminine, their connectivity providing the dimensionality he seeks and, with the swirling arms embracing them, “an infinite vortex of the unity of opposites.”

At the very centre of the sculpture sits a red heart of glass (also sculpted to resemble an apple, invoking the biblical story) with glass detail, surrounded by an opening to catch and reflect the light. Viewed from almost any angle, it radiates warmth and provides a stunning focal point.

Mir Agol ‘Unity’ (steel, glass) A multi-talented conceptual artist/ photographer/sculptor who is comfortable and proficient in diverse art forms, Vancouver’s Mir Agol presents ‘Unity’ at this year’s Sculpturewalk. It is an imposing, visually appealing and inspiring work that displays Agol’s vision and talent well. Vaguely reminiscent through shape and stature – it is three metres tall - of Lance Carleton’s Flora Grande from the 2012 show, Agol’s sculpture is distinctively his own. At first glance, it is a tree – a trunk leads up to a veritable tangle of steel pieces curling and curving in multiple directions. Closer inspection reveals much more though. Agol has created two distinct

“One of the things I treasure is the viewer’s own perception,” he says. “My approach is mostly abstract, though sometimes it is figurative. I transform from flat to three-dimensional, from flatness to form, opinion to concept. I like to leave room for the viewer’s impression, suggest a minimum and, as here, infuse the happiness of colour, leaving a space for the viewer to find inspiration.” He has done that splendidly. The detail and exuberant colour of the centrepiece contrasts with the monochrome though brilliantly imagined body of ‘Unity’. There is personal statement and philosophical belief expressed here, as in all of Agol’s art. “I like the idea of balancing the big view with attention to detail. Texture, silhouette or some specific accent can be emphasized to heighten the effect of the whole. The pieces I sculpt are for the viewer, and designed to be in open spaces. Even more importantly,

they should engage – prompt consideration of our relationship with ourselves, those around us and all of us with our Creator.”

longest length on the other side. The metal lengths are rockered and wave like, representing the opened pod. It is a gorgeous design that is incredibly symmetrical, balanced and clean.

As visionary and thought-provoking as ‘Unity’ and the rest of Agol’s sculptures are, they are only one aspect of his art. His photographs often combine the beauty of the female body with textural counterparts like tree roots, water, the tangle of branches or stained glass. The latter is another medium Agol loves to create in, often combining glass with other materials as he has done here. His glass work takes many forms of expression – leaded, stained, etched and three-dimensional – to create evocative, translucent works like Tribute to Jesters, The Frame and Spirits of Nature. In many installations, he combines photography and base elements (wood, steel, ) to create pieces that are multi-textured and layered, compelling in their conception. ‘Unity’ gives us a small though intriguing taste of Agol’s vision and creative processes. His talent is dazzling, not unlike the glowing, backlit heart of his sculpture on display this year.

Four for the road

Idaho CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE

Craig Lindsay

Castlegar News Reporter

On Thursday of last week four super seniors from Rossland decided to shake up their lives and go on a road trip. The tripe was out of their collective comfort zones but never the less, adventure and daring got them to the age they are and they saw no reason to be different now. Cookie LeCluse (age 97), Argia Haley (age 93), Tony Campana (age 90) and Wilma Kuntz (age 87) got into Cokkie’s Hummer and headed over the first summit to Big Sheep Creek for a lunch time barbeque at the cabin of Joe Zanussi. Cookie was the chauffeur but had ready back-up in his passengers as they all still drive and are all very capable. There was no

thought to changing their minds once the decision was made as a good outing was in store for the four of them. In the sweltering heat a trip to the creek would be invigorating. Cookie, for all who know him, was at his finest for the five hours of the trip, remembering many stories of the “good old days” which, of course, could be much appreciated by all. In an age where we are too ready to put our seniors out

to the proverbial pasture, it was just great to hear of an outing such as this and to see our forefathers and mothers continuing to enjoy some of life’s finest. Good for them. If you see them on the street, remember, there is still some life in those old bones and some energy left to do some of the things that got them this far. An active mind is a happy mind; when you see them remember to say hello. Well done to the four of you.

Statistical mysteries solved and posed by 1921 census

Greg Nesteroff West Kootenay Advertiser

For genealogists, it’s like Christmas in August. Following a twomonth delay, nearly 200,000 pages from Canada’s 1921 census went online last week, providing a wealth of raw data for family historians to comb. Under the Statistics Act, census information is closed for 92 years for privacy reasons, but afterward it’s released by Library and Archives Canada. The census of June 1, 1921, saw an army of 11,700 enumerators record data by hand on nearly 8.8 million people across the country, including ages, birthplac-

es, occupations, and place of residence. Unlike the 1901 and 1911 censuses, the returns have not yet been indexed, so it can be a bit of a slog to find someone: you can’t search by name so need some idea where they lived. Even then, not everyone is where you’d expect them. A cursory browse reveals several anomalies and curiosities for our area: • A Profili family (Eugene, Paulina, and their five children) lived at a place between Tadanac and Birchbank called Newtonia. The derivation is probably just “new town” but where was it? • Doukhobor com-

munities are enumerated separately. The largest in West Kootenay was Brilliant with over 2,700 residents, followed by Glade at more than 600. Curiously, there’s also a place near Nelson called Quory, presumably a misspelling of Quarry, with 13. Historian Jon Kalmakoff theorizes this

was a communal settlement on Grohman Creek otherwise known as Skalistoye, which means rocky or craggy in Russian. Of 30 arable acres, orchards grew on only four, while the rest was barren. • The Nelson provincial jail is also enumerated separately, and recorded the

names of 23 inmates. • The census records people otherwise marginalized and omitted from sources such as civic directories and voters list, especially the Chinese. Nelson’s Chinatown, around Lake and Front streets, had about 130 people — all but two of

25987

daughters Lillian and Helen. The census was taken two years before the Exclusion Act banned Chinese immigration to Canada. • Salmo’s Japanese community, which stood at 50 a decade earlier, was down to 11. It consisted of six men...

whom were men, many with wives in China. The exception was bootmaker Chang Kei, who lived with wife Chon Shee and their BC-born children William and Mary. Similarly, Kaslo logging contractor Chow Won lived on D Avenue with wife Foon and their young

Sports No livin’ is easy for Grand Forks Border Bruins

CRAIG LINDSAY

West Kootenay Advertiser

The Grand Forks Border Bruins held a boot camp last week for 20 players. The players, ranging in age from 15 to 20 years, participated in skill sessions on the ice-less floor at Grand Forks Arena and also participated in activities such as weight training, ball hockey games, and even a float down the Kettle River.

“Since Grand Forks doesn’t have any ice in at this time, this is something I did as a player and adopted the camp structure from that experience,” said head coach and GM Nick Deschenes. The former professional said having the boot camp is a great opportunity for the coaching staff and the players to get to know each other before training camp. “It’s a great opportunity to work

but also developing relationships,” said Deschenes, who is entering his second year with the Border Bruins. “Former players, current players, local players – we’re all working hard together. It’s creating unity and camaraderie in the group.” Like his coach, defenceman Lucas Robinson is returning for his second year and is excited about this year’s team. “We had a pretty new team (last year) but it was a really good experience,” said Robinson, who

hails from Vancouver. “It was a good stepping stone for this year. If we get a lot of guys back, I think we’ll look really good.” Despite the long hours and hard work in the middle of summer, Robinson said the boot camp was a valuable experience. “We’ve been doing conditioning during the day and hitting the gym for about an hour,” he said. “After lunch we’ve come to the rink and done stickhandling and shooting and then had a ball hockey game.”

Horoscope Michael O’Connor

for the

Week August 16, 2013

Tip of the Week: The waxing Moon comes to full fruition on August 20th. Interestingly, it is the 2nd Full Moon in Aquarius in a row. Since there are 30-31 days in a month and 29.5 days between New and Full Moons, this occurring is not altogether rare. Yet it is special enough to merit mention. More importantly, since Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, it gets activated. Uranus is currently in Aries (2011 – 2019). This cycle indicates an accelerated launch of innovation and revolutionary change. You may notice that the pace of things is steadily accelerating. If you are wondering if it can get any faster, the answer is yes. Especially since Uranus is in close aspect to Jupiter and Pluto and all are in Cardinal Signs, which are symbolic of new beginnings and proactive initiatives, the acceleration is assured. Now Venus is in its own sign of Libra, which is the 4th Cardinal Sign. Generally, Venus in Libra is all about beauty, harmony, diplomacy and love and we should get a few clear synchronistic glimpse of it. Yet, as Venus steadily advances to occupy her corner ‘she’ will contribute to creating a Grand Cardinal Square or Cross. This will officially occur between August 24 and 27. High energy, impatience, impulsiveness and assertive action constitute the essential tone. Stay tuned for some peak performances and dramatic shows, as the world turns….

ARIES (MAR 21 – APR 20)

LIBRA (SEP 22 – OCT 22)

TAURUS (APR 20 – MAY 21)

SCORPIO (OCT 22 – NOV 21)

GEMINI (MAY 21 – JUN 21)

SAGITTARIUS (NOV 21 – DEC 21)

CANCER (JUN 21 – JUL 22)

PISCES (FEB 19 – MAR 20)

The heat is rising and it is not just the temperature. You feel more passionate about everything lately. Your creative interests are especially important to you now. This may be simply to play and enjoy what summer has to offer. Yet, you remain determined to get to the bottom of things. Fortunately, your confidences are growing. You feel ignited. A busy time close to home continues. Attending to the needs, concerns and interests of your own family is a top priority now. Yet, demands on your time may well be coming from a variety of sources these days, none to be idly dismissed. You are challenged to give a lot of yourself. Acceptance of this is ideal. Focus to secure foundations on all fronts. Clearing away the old while simultaneously attending to the new is the norm these days. There is little time for pause in between. This is hardly the time to lay low. Your social agenda is probably quite full. Your extra efforts are necessary. This requires discipline and a healthy attitude. Avoidance now could prove costly later. Follow-up and follow-through! Advancing your position, taking risks and initiatives to enter new territory is the call now. A healthy measure of caution is advised, but not so much as to stall. Diplomatic efforts are also extra important. Do be assertive and speak your truth. Yet avoid abrasive reaction at all costs. Make friends now, not enemies. Advance patiently yet surely. The Sun in your sign indicates initiative. You have the added task of having to lay claim to your hidden gifts, resources and potentials. These may be giving rise to subconscious fears. Accept these as part of the game plan. Their presence means you are right on track. The key now is to acknowledge, confront and overcome these with deliberate action. Tending to business behind the scenes is important now. This is a summons of your best administrative abilities. If you need and can afford to hire out, do it. Either way, the time has come to get more organized. A learning curve is implied, but just the act of doing it will teach you how. The goal is to break out of your comfort zone and increase your exposure.

Contact Michael O’Connor for a Personal Reading

G A M E S

Balancing work, family, friends and keeping the harmony on all fronts is a central theme now. You realize the importance of presenting and expressing yourself well. You want to share the beauty you see and feel. It is important that you make extra efforts to create better relationships and other alliances. Yet, be true to your own sense of individuality all the while. The time has come to get the attention you want and feel you deserve. Yet to succeed you may have to push a little harder and longer. A blend of innovation and visionary thinking is a source of inspiration. In fact, you are in something of a revolutionary mood. Introducing new rhythms into your lifestyle is part of the plot. Forge your brave new world. Your higher mind is summoning you. It is your soul speaking through your heart. You may hear it as intuitions. These are guiding you to ‘let go and let God’. Change is the law and it is upon you. Sometimes sweet surrender is the best answer. This does not imply defeat. Assuming a philosophical perspective should come naturally. Gaining access to the abundance of talents and resources available in the world is a current focus. Deciphering exactly what you need is the first task. This is an expansive time. Yet, you may be dealing with some tough customers. It may be necessary to meet them in like fashion. Yet, decipher the difference between positive persistence and belligerence. Some fresh activation in your relationships is now underway. Yet, the ground they are launching from requires extra efforts on your part. The stakes are quite high these days. You probably don’t feel as confident as you would like but are challenged to proceed and even take some risks anyway. Take a sporting approach for best results. Like is a game. Creating a healthier, more supportive and secure lifestyle is a central theme now. The twist is that in order to be successful you probably have to take a leap of faith or two. Fortunately, your energy levels should be running pretty high. This is supporting your confidences and activating creative and strategic thinking.

Community 1921 census proves revealing and fascinating

Continued from P. A11

Rollin’ The Dam City Rollers give high-fives to the crows after a WKRD doubleheader at Selkirk College in Castlegar on Friday, Aug. 9. The Rollers lost to the Nelson Killjoys 224178 in a hard-fought bout. Marvin Beatty

...working in a logging camp for contractor Setsuzo Miyashi (in other sources spelled Miyazaki), who alone had his family present: wife Yone, and their three BC-born kids, Takahiro, Ayako, and Fumiko, ages four, three, and three weeks.

• How were prostitutes recorded? In Waneta, madam Rosie Ayres, who later plied her trade in Rossland and Nelson, is recorded as an hotelkeeper. In Sandon, Lena Paul and Fanny Pickett were each said to be running boarding houses. Nelson’s brothel district is conspicuously absent, except

for madam Agnes West at 608 Lake Street, who likewise claimed to be running a boarding house, though none of her “boarders” were listed. They did appear on the 1911 census, however, with their occupations listed as “inmates.” You can find the whole census at tinyurl.com/l8fad23

Connecting with the Community

8th Annual Community Volunteer Recognition COUNCIL POLICY: VOLUNTEER OF THE CITY In the past, the City used to mail out invitation letters to organizations that generated volunteers, but this process was flawed due to the fact that many individuals and groups for which the City may be unaware, would not have received a much deserved invitation. In 2009, Council adopted a new policy that publicly announces the event as opposed to invitations to organizations. POLICY: “Council may give recognition to a volunteer or a group of volunteers for service above and beyond of those generally performed in the Community.” POLICY PROCEDURE: When Council is giving consideration to the recognition to an individual or group, it shall make its deliberations “in camera” and when a decision to give recognition has been made, it shall then be announced by the Mayor at the Annual Community Volunteer Recognition Evening.

CRITERIA:

CALL FOR NOMINATIONS:

• The individual or group should be honoured for its volunteer work in the City of Grand Forks or for volunteer work that has had an impact on the City of Grand Forks; • The individual or group should not have been paid or received any form of financial remuneration for the work or activity for which the volunteer is being considered; • The individual or group should have made a significant commitment to the community to be considered for the recognition; • There is substantial support from the Community through letters of recommendations outlining the volunteerism history and the impact on the community; • A special volunteer recognition may be given after the passing of the individual; • Prior to giving any recognition of volunteer of the year, the City must call for nominations publicly in a Regular Council Meeting and through the City’s Newsletter.

At their Regular Meeting on June 25th, 2013, Council adopted the resolution that publicly announced this year’s volunteer appreciation evening and the call for nominations. Individuals or groups may nominate another individual, group or organization by obtaining and completing the City of Grand Forks Nomination Form for Exceptional Volunteer Service.

Open Burning Ban in Effect for Southeast Fire District Effective at noon on July 8, all open fires are prohibited within the Southeast Fire Centre’s jurisdiction to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety. The prohibition will remain in place until Sept. 20 or until the public is otherwise notified. Specifically, prohibited activities include: • the burning of any waste, slash or other materials. • stubble or grass fires of any size over any area. • the use of fireworks, sky lanterns, or burning barrels of any size or description. The prohibition does not restrict campfires that are a half-metre high by a half-metre wide or smaller, and does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes. Campfires must not be larger than 0.5 metres by 0.5 metres in size. Anyone lighting a campfire must maintain a fireguard by removing flammable debris from around the campfire area and must have a hand tool or at least eight litres of water available nearby to properly extinguish the fire. Make sure that that the campfire is fully extinguished and the ashes are cold to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time. This prohibition covers all BC Parks, Crown and private lands, but does not apply within the boundaries of local governments that have forest fire prevention bylaws and are serviced by a fire department. Please check with civic authorities for any restrictions before lighting a fire. (See below) Anyone found in contravention of an open fire prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345 or, if convicted in court, be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person may be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs. Open burning within Grand Forks City limits is prohibited year-round. Small campfires for cooking purposes only may be allowed with a permit. Kevin McKinnon Deputy Fire Chief/Emergency Services City of Grand Forks

The nomination forms are available at the front counter at City Hall and also via our City’s website at: http://www.city.grandforks. bc.ca/index.php/2013/07/04/2013-callfor-nominations-for-volunteer-of-the-city/. Returned, fully completed forms can be either dropped off in person, mailed to: City of Grand Forks, P.O. Box 220, Grand Forks, BC, V0H 1H0 or emailed to: info@grandforks.ca as a PDF format. Completed forms must be returned to City Hall by 4:00 pm on August 29th, 2013.

Comparing Electrical Rates – How do we compare to FortisBC? Residential energy rates are not directly comparable between Grand Forks Electric and FortisBC because Grand Forks uses a flat rate structure whereas FortisBC in 2012 implemented an inclining block rate structure. The chart below compares the current energy rates of the two utilities. The chart shows that low consumers of energy would have a lower energy bill with FortisBC, whereas higher consumers of electricity, such as those with electric heat or air conditioning, would have a lower energy bill with Grand Forks Electric.
