Recent thefts and break-ins cause for concern CHANTELLE CARTER Arrow Lakes News
The recent wave of break-ins and thefts in our quiet and usually safe mountain town has many residents locking up and keeping an eye out for themselves, their neighbours, and local businesses. During the past month there have been a series of such acts reported to the Nakusp RCMP with the first complaint coming in on May 1. The Ministry of Forests site on Hot Springs Road was broken into sometime during the night, padlocks on storage containers cut and firefighting equipment and other items taken. Then only four days later, the police received a complaint from the Nakusp Medieval Society advising that their building was broken into sometime during the prior night by breaking a pane of glass for entry. The person(s) stole an empty cash register which was later recovered nearby.
Another local business was the target in the early hours of May 7. The Hut Restaurant discovered they had been broken into which is believed to have occurred at approximately 1 a.m. A Forensic Investigator attended the scene and examined the restaurant for evidence. When all seemed quiet once again, the police received a call on May 18 about a residence break and enter in the 100 block of 8th Ave. SW. Again, the culprits gained access by breaking a window at the rear of the residence and once inside, stole a quantity of alcoholic beverages.The very next day the RCMP were informed of a significant theft that occurred at a mining site in the Burton area. The theft is believed to have occurred either last fall or early this spring. Items stolen included a $13,500 green commercial grade tidy tank, an Arctic Cat ATV, a 2000 watt gen-set generator, and LG washer and dryer. The size and numbers of items stolen indicate significant planning

and equipment was required on the part of the thieves. Another mine site break-in was reported on May 21, this time in the Trout Lake area. An air conditioner, two large water pumps and diesel were among the items stolen from the site which is believed to have happened just a couple days prior. The Nakusp RCMP would like to remind residents to be vigilant in securing and protecting their property. “Unfortunately, there has been an increase in propertyrelated offences during the past few months and residents are encouraged to look for and report suspicious behaviours or persons. If you see a person or vehicle that you believe is acting in a suspicious nature, obtain a description, and contact the police,” suggests Constable Ryan Fehler. If you have any information regarding the above offences, you are encouraged to contact the Nakusp RCMP at 250-265-3677 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Toad talk fills NACFOR open house CLAIRE PARADIS Arrow Lakes News
The Western Toad was the hot topic at the NACFOR open house held on the evening of May 27. The usually sleepy event held at the Selkirk College campus in Nakusp was unusually filled with people and passionate discussion. Advocates concerned for the well-being of the blue-listed Western Toad had come to the open house to express their concerns to NACFOR about the harvesting planned to take place this year on the slopes south of Summit Lake. Citizens concerned about the impact of the planned logging spoke with NACFOR board members and employees, questioning the decision to log the seven blocks that are five to seven hectares in size. Discussion was heated but civil and carried on until closing time. One pro-toad citizen brought up the example of the disastrous results of prescribing Thalidomide to expectant mothers when its then unknown side-effect caused limb deformities in babies. What would the impact of logging near the toad migration area be? We don’t know, answered Kathy Smith, NACFOR board member, it’s true. But she was confident the community forestry company was making the best decision it could. The problem is, there is no good data about the impact of logging on the Western Toad, which toad advocates point to as a reason to stop and take a closer look and the loggers take as no reason not to proceed with caution.

When asked if they would consider delaying the cut in the area until more research was done, Smith responded, “But until when?” The harvest in the Summit Lake region has already been delayed one year. In that year, some changes to how the cut would take place were made in order to reduce the potential impact on the toads. Smith said she didn’t see the benefit of waiting another year. In order to reduce the impact of its work, NACFOR is planning to log the blocks during the toads’ non-migratory periods, preferably in winter when toad hibernaculums (where they hibernate) will be protected, and to log blocks smaller in size than what forestry companies have normally cut. “Previous to the NACFOR Community Forest Agreement (CFA), this area had a disturbance history from both wildfire and logging,” a NACFOR brochure about logging in the Western Toad habitat near Summit Lake states. But the booklet also cites the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) report that says although the toads are “relatively tolerant” of logging, the long-term effects of forest harvesting are “unclear.” And that’s the consensus for both NACFOR and toad advocates: the effects are just not known. For NACFOR, it’s a signal they can proceed with caution, while for those trying to preserve the habitat it’s an indication to wait and do more to find out. Smith said she was keen to find out more, to track data about toad populations and what effect logging may have had on them. It’s a long-term view, though, she
cautions, because populations do fluctuate from year to year for so many reasons. The NACFOR volunteer said she would be interested in taking it to the board and seeing what could be done to find the measurables in their approach to forestry. And although NACFOR spokespeople say they have heard the toad advocates and changed how they will proceed, it was clear they were remaining firm: they will be submitting a cutting permit application this summer. But NACFOR’s Frances Swan and Kathy Smith both said they really appreciated the level of engagement and open discussion at the open house. NACFOR has other news than just talking toad. They’ve been busy granting money since they realized a profit in 2012. In 2013, the board shouldered the responsibility for disbursing the funds and developed an application process. Although they didn’t advertise, contacting groups that had approached them for funding and word of mouth resulted in 18 applications for funding. Seven of the 18 received the $52,462 available legacy funds. This year, Nakusp council, who is also the sole shareholder in NACFOR, has the responsibility of determining which applicants will receive funding. However, the process is on hold until the new CAO arrives this month. This has not prevented council from approving a request from Paul Peterson, Director of Area K, for $10,000 of the NACFOR legacy funds to repair a bridge at the Fauquier Golf Course. Nakusp Mayor Karen Hamling noted a proper procedure for the disbursement of the funds is not yet in place and another councillor stated developing a procedure was a high priority.

Nakusp Volunteer Fire Dept Update The Nakusp Volunteer crew
has been busy in 2015 so far with cross training with wildfire management and carrying out live fire training. They have also contended with nine motor vehicle incidents, three chimney fires, one kitchen cooking fire, one false alarm, one structure fire — the Nixon house, which was going to be burned as part of a firefighting exercise — one mill fire, and two electrical fires which were the result of trees on power lines. Hotsprings and chalet roofing update Director of Operations for the Hot Springs Terry Walsh told council the roof of the hot springs is almost complete. However, the re-roofing of the Cedar Chalets needed more discussion. So far, the bid to re-roof the chalets is $32,694 with no sheeting, plywood under the shingles. To add sheeting to all chalets would add $32,426 to
the cost, Walsh told council. Council voted to accept the report as information and requested that Walsh also find out more information about the cost to replace strapping in the roofs where necessary.
to untangle them “would be huge, it would take weeks and weeks.” Sorting branches from leaves is difficult as they are collected at the same time, and burning leaves produces more smoke.
Yearly yard maintenance pick-up problems Community pick up has increased by 25 per cent. “I think more people are seeing it as more of a service,” said Public Works Director of Operations Warren Leigh, who believes some people are saving up waste all year and putting bags out for collection one month to six weeks before the Community Pride pick up. The Pride Week phenomenon and its costs will be tracked. Some residents have complained about smoke from burning the collected yard waste. When asked why wood waste is burned not chipped, Leigh said the labour required
Request for funds for Fauquier Golf Course Director Paul Peterson wrote a letter to council requesting $10,000 of NACFOR funds be designated for the Southern Zone to rebuild a bridge at the Fauquier Golf Course that was washed out this spring. Council voted to approve the request. Mayor Karen Hamling noted there is no procedure for projects wanting to be funded and there is a need to get a process in place for funding applications.
The June 8 council meeting will be cancelled due to change of CAO. Next meeting, to be announced.

Community Plenty to see and do in and around the Centennial Building More interactive community photo presentations on the event horizon
Claire Paradis Arrow Lakes News
The Centennial Building is a hotbed of activity these days. Well-tressed Citizen of the Year Ken Williams, freshly back from a historical road trip to Barkerville and other parts north, is a frequent visitor to the Arrow Lakes Historical Society Archives. Kathy Froese and ALHS president Marilyn Taylor are also frequently there, chilling in the Archives, as is Kyle Kusch. Only Rosemary Parent has been noticeably absent, away on a cruise through the British Isles. Kush was busy preparing photos and film for an upcoming community presentation entitled Ichi 100. Previous presentations of digitized photos and film have been runaway successes, with only standing room left for latecomers. Our Coloured Past was followed by the blockbuster sequel Our Coloured Past 2 as well as the 2014 greatest hits collection History Comes Alive. The latest collection’s enigmatic title Ichi 100 refers to local photographer and filmmaker Ichiro Shiino who was the local photographer in the 40s and 50s, said Kusch. Affectionately known as Ichi, Shiino documented everything before the Stanleys took over the local paper, and even then, Kusch told The Arrow Lakes News, virtually every photo in the paper was taken by Ichi. To celebrate what would have been Ichi’s 100th birthday on June 15, a selection of his film and photos will be shown at the Archives on July 1 at 2:30 p.m. If you come early you can also catch Our Coloured Past 2 at 1 p.m. Kusch is also planning an all-spiced family presentation this fall. “That will be mind-blowing,” said Kusch, adding the Spicers have always been a very outdoorsy and communityoriented family, so a great collection of beautiful pictures is anticipated. Like all presentations to date, the upcoming ones will probably be very interactive, with residents chiming in with new information about photos. It’s something that Kusch treasures about the events. “We’re only as good as the info we get,” said Kusch, who wants to hold a “photo bee” where people can come in and identify people, places and what’s going on in photos on file at the Archives. He’s
Above: Kyle Kusch is hard at work digitizing vintage photos and films for upcoming community shows. Photos by Claire Paradis looking for a few good locals to come down, re-live the old days between the 1940s and 1980s and help identify who’s who. The more the merrier, because getting many perspectives is important in building a robust community history. “There are so many people who have so much information. They don’t know the treasures that lie within their own brains,” said Kusch. The library is more than just a book nook Across the vestibule from the Archives, the Nakusp Regional Library is also cooking up summer plans, plans that include a garden art workshop (June 20 and 27), and a whole bunch of interesting speakers. Sean Arthur Joyce will be reading from his new collection of poetry The Price of Transcendence on June 4 at 7 p.m. A mere 11 days later Amanda Bath will be in Nakusp reading from her book Disaster in Paradise about the slide at Johnson’s Landing on June 15 at 1 p.m. Another surprise reading is scheduled for June 23, and there is lots more to come. Feel free to stop by the library (cards are free for locals) and ask librarian Amy for details. Displays new and old delight in museum How do you know it’s noon in Nakusp? The sound of the steam whistle, that’s how. Down in the basement of the Centennial Building the Nakusp and District Museum still delights with its extreme pig-headed showpiece, well worth going to see. This year there is also the new Sinix’t display, which is a collection of artifacts from the area as well as an impressive diorama showing the summer and winter lives of pre-colonial inhabitants in the area. Sharon Montgomery is once again planning the Aboriginal Day celebrations in Nakusp, this year it will be on June 18 so the Edgewood kids have a chance to take part. Last year’s celebrations were cancelled due to the labour dispute that involved the schools. After you’re done marvelling at the pig and the Sinix’t diorama, you can check out the new items in the gift shop. If that’s not enough for you, come back for the museum and library’s respective yard and book sale on the second weekend of August.

I am writing in regards to the article “Edgewood breakwater no meeting of the minds” published in the Arrow Lakes News on May 14. I am pleased to have the opportunity to clarify how BC Hydro has engaged with the community of Edgewood to resolve the issue with the southern floating log breakwater and provide the timeline for this project. As stated in the article, the meeting on Tuesday, April 14 was publicized as taking place from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. BC Hydro made every effort to notify the community of this meeting, including: · Ads placed in both the Arrow Lakes News and the Valley Voice · Invitations sent by email to our distribution list · Invitations sent to every household in Edgewood via Canada Post We also took steps to ensure that those who were unable to attend the meeting had an opportunity for input. The proposed solution for the breakwater was detailed in the letter sent to all Edgewood households for their review, and we asked that if anyone had any questions, concerns or feedback that they contact me directly.
We had a good turnout at the meeting and had a positive discussion regarding the proposed solution for the southern floating log breakwater. The majority of attendees supported the proposed solution provided that modifications were made to the anchoring system. BC Hydro has since revised the design based on this feedback. There were several people who arrived late to the meeting, and our team stayed onsite until we had spoken to them directly and answered their questions. Following the meeting, we sent another letter to all Edgewood households via Canada Post advising them of the outcome of the meeting and again requested that they contact me directly with any questions, concerns or feedback they may have. Regarding the timeline for this project, the original design for the Edgewood boat ramp was presented to the community in November of 2010. At this meeting, the community requested that a southern breakwater be included in the design. The revised design, which included the southern breakwater in its current location, was brought back to the community in September of 2011. This design was supported by the community, and the breakwater was installed in March of 2013. In the spring of 2014, it was brought to our attention that there were some concerns
related to the breakwater. Since that time, we have been working with the Edgewood residents to find a solution that will meet the needs of the community while also addressing site constraints. BC Hydro’s goal is to ensure that the final design meets the needs of the community, and our actions to date demonstrate that we’re listening and responding to feedback. Again, thank you for the opportunity to address these issues.

• This Week in History • June 5, 1925 The Department of Public Works has introduced into the Nakusp District a new means of road transportation by way of a motor truck to convey gravel, etc. in the repair of the roads. Monday a test was made of the cost in comparison with the old-time team system and the figures are quite interesting to the taxpayers and those who use the roads. The same hauling distance and grade was used in both cases with the following results in seven hours and 20 minutes: Quantity: Team: 16 yds., Truck: 42 yds. Cost: Team: $8.50, Truck: $6.60. Cost/cu. Yd.: Team: $0.53, Truck: $0.15 ½. Thus, for the same cost, the new system can convey more than three times the quantity formerly carried. The Nakusp Telephone Exchange is this week being removed from the old quarters on Bay Street, to a more central point on Slocan Avenue with Miss Della Leveque as operator and agent. The system will be entirely renewed as it is hoped that a larger number of subscribers be the result.

June 6, 1935 At times when the water in the Upper Arrow Lake is very high and crowding to enter the lower lake, a very strong current develops in the narrows. Such a circumstance arost last Tuesday in the narrows at Burton, when, for about 10 minutes, the steamer Minto was at a standstill. Then, the following Thursday the crew of the Minto were kept busy pulling the wharg sheds at nearly every landing.
June 2, 1955 After a very busy weekend and a one day closing, Monday, Nakusp’s Overwaitea store opened for business Tuesday in their temporary quarters at the Parish Hall. Merchandise is nicely displayed and the meat department (Johnson’s Quality Meat) is conveniently arranged in the hall kitchen with the serving counter next to the store entrance, in the Overwaitea department. Over the weekend, 10 tons of groceries and supplies were moved. All the store fixtures were moved and special wiring installed for meat storage. The business expects to be in that location until about the middle of August when it is hoped that the renovated store will be ready for use.
The bodies of two young men who were caught in a snow slide near Arrowhead last winter were recovered recently in a creek not far from the slide.

100 people at Edgewood Thursday. Jim Wilson, B.C. Hydro’s redevelopment co-ordinator, outlined general plans and said people wishing to remain in the Arrow Lakes would have four choices: they could move to Nakusp or to new communities to be developed at Edgewood, Fauquier or Burton. He pointed out that the new community at Edgewood would be off the main highway and so would not likely ever be a very large community. He stated that a new community of Fauquier would have the greatest potential as it would the crossroads of a new $21 million highway network, which will include the rebuilt road north to Nakusp and on to Revelstoke, west to the Monashee Highway via the new Fauquier bridge across the lake, and southeast, to the Nelson-Castlegar districts by a new road to Passmore via Koch Creek.

With summer finally arriving to our sunny shores, most of us are looking forward to visits from our loved ones who generally reside outside our area. However, seniors in particular are occasionally heard to say that throughout the outdoor season when we experience a change from the usual schedule of activities we look forward to, some of us are more subject to feeling a bit low and even less energetic than usual. While there are many valid reasons that crop up in our lives including having to deal with sudden or unexpected changes which are taking place right on our own doorstep, one doesn’t need to feel isolated From: and alone andHugh without emotional support Lockkeeper, L.

Nakusp Cougars wore silver on the field, but had gold in their hearts RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
The Nakusp Secondary School girls’ soccer team punched their provincial ticket by clinching a last second win during their zone finals against Boundary Central on May 13. The win afforded the girls an opportunity to travel to Surrey and compete against 15 other teams who represent the best single A soccer in the province. The BC School Sports (BCSS) provincial tournament is an annual competition where 16 teams from a provincial pool of over 60 single A high school soccer squads playoff for the coveted BCSS banner. Entry into the tournament is limited to those teams who win a zone final thus earning the right to represent their region on the provincial stage. The 2015 provincial tournament was hosted by Southridge School in Surrey, B.C. and coordinated by teacher/coach Gordon Smith. The tournament was organized into three stages of matches; in the first round, teams were divided into four pools by commissioner, Don Moslin, based on a provincial ranking rubric. Games were played in a round robin format with points awarded for wins and ties. Teams emerged from the round robin with a pool rank and then entered into a playoff tree to play a crossover game against a team with a similar rank from another pool. The crossover game determined where teams exited the playoff tree and what place they would battle for in their final match. Nakusp was pooled with North Island, Burns Lake and their old rival and provincial mainstay matchup, Immaculata. The round robin kicked off with a match against North Island as the girls faced off on a turf field, nicknamed, “the postage stam,” so
A
named by its small dimensions, at Southridge. Trouble started early in the game as both teams, sporting healthy and rested rosters, collided on the pitch in a fresh and feverish start to the tournament. The Cougars found themselves in an early deficit when an unfortunate trip inside the 18 yard box translated into a penalty kick from the dot. Down one, the Cougars wasted no time with their response when smart passing from Ashley Friedenberger and Katira Niquidet opened up an offensive lane for midfielder Kira Streliev who confidently hammered the ball past the North Island keeper for the equalizer. Coming out of the half-time break, the Cougars battled with heart and purpose against the North Island squad, but hesitation in the middle lanes and a mounting collection of technical mistakes caused the momentum to shift slowly in favor of North Island. The match started to slip away from the Cougars as the score turned into a 1-3 deficit. Digging deep into their gravel, the Cougars managed to compensate for their errors with sheer will and determination, as pure hard play from clutch players Rene Goodman, Ivy Tournad and Kira Streliev salvaged the game with a disheartening, but tolerable draw at 3-3. The second match against Immaculata ended with a tough 0-8 loss, as the Cougars’ shortfalls were exposed by a well-rounded and disciplined team. Immaculata would continue on to win the tournament during a championship game against the hosts, Southridge. The final match of the round robin was played on Thursday morning against the Burns Lake squad and instead of being punished for their mistakes, the game rewarded the Cougars’ strengths.

Played mostly along the touchline with a plethora of throw-ins, the Cougars dug out a solid match against a solid opponent and found the net three times while shutting out the Burns Lake offence. The early morning win secured a second place finish in the pool for the Cougars. The crossover match pitted Nakusp against Langley Christian, who had likewise finished second in their own pool. The Cougars attacked the grass field with a ferocious intensity that was matched by a willingness to learn from their mistakes and rise to the level of soccer that was expected from the provincial tournament. Playing what could be considered their best 35 minutes of the season, the Cougars rallied Langley Christian to a 1-1 tie going into the half-time break. Unfortunately, the second half of the game was claimed by the opposing team, as the majority of the match was played with the Cougars on defence. Unable to turn away every shot on net, Cougar keeper Adriel Goodman heroically gave everything she could to the team, but did not get the support she needed from the field and was forced to concede to a 1-3 loss. The provincial narrative was now a story for seventh or eighth place as the Cougars faced off against the Osoyoos Secondary School Rattlers for the final match. Both teams were hurting, bruised and battered from the taxing ordeal of playing five provincial level soccer games in the course of 48 hours. The final was more about survival than skill. The Cougars were thrown against the ropes early in the game and faced an uphill battle that continued to get steeper as the goals mounted against them. The final whistle blew down the game and the Cougars earned an eighth place finish with a 0-3 loss.
Happy Birthday Linda!

Arrow Lakes school district band teacher Patrick MacGibbon, was pivotal in making arrangements for the annual traveling Kalamalka Secondary School Mystery Tour to make a stop in Nakusp. “Brian McMahon, the band director for Kalamalka is my good friend and we have played together for many years in various bands; he called me up and suggested that we get together and do

a joint concert,” MacGibbon said. Nakusp is just one of the stops for the traveling musicians who, as the tour name suggests, don’t know what venue they play at next. “Every year I do this Mystery tour, so called because I don’t tell my band where we are going until they are getting on the bus,” McMahon explained to the audience. Musical selections were performed back and forth between the different grade groups of Nakusp Secondary musicians and the Kalamalka ensemble. The evening’s grand finale was a cooperative and powerful performance of a Star Wars melody, which rattled the rafters and filled the gym space with celestial melodies.

BILINSKI, Mike 1923 - 2015 It is with sadness that the family of Mike Bilinski announces his passing at Vernon Jubilee Hospital on May 30th, 2015 at the age of 91. Mike was born on August 2nd, 1923 in Fisher Branch, Manitoba, the son of Joseph and Mary Bilinski. Mike worked on the family farm and spent winters working in a gold mine and logging camps in Ontario in his youth. In 1946, the family moved to Fauquier, B.C., where he worked on the tunnel from Whatshan Lake to the Arrow Lakes and in a sawmill. He established a logging company, Barnes Creek Contracting, was a partner in Green Mountain Trucking, and the Aqua View Motel. He employed many local people and was a respected member of the community. After his retirement, he loved to hunt, fish, golf and travel. With failing health, he and his wife moved to Vernon where he enjoyed the last eight years, particularly playing cards and going to the casino. He always had a sense of humour and a story for all throughout his life. Mike is survived by his wife of 44 years, Rose; his children: David (Lorraine), Gordon (Jasmine), Steve, Russell (Kathy); his son-in-law Richard; his stepchildren: Phyllis (Barry), Flori (Robin), Tom (Patti), and Jamie (Sandy); one brother, Pete (Leona); 29 grandchildren and 26 great grandchildren; nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Joseph and Mary; his sister Jean; his brother Frank; his first wife, Lucy; his daughter Karen; and his grandson Michael. In his words: “I don’t like good-bye — See you” Prayers and the Funeral Mass will be held in Our Lady of the Valley Roman Catholic Church, 10102 Middleton Drive, Coldstream, BC. Prayers will be recited on Friday, June 5th, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. The Funeral Mass will take place on Saturday, June 6th, 2015 at 11:00 a.m. with Father Dale Normandeau, Celebrant. Cremation. A memorial service will be held in Fauquier, B. C. at a later date. Flowers are gratefully declined. Those friends wishing to make memorial contributions in memory of Mike may do so to a charity of personal choice. Arrangements have been entrusted to Pleasant Valley Funeral Home, Phone: 250 542 4333. Condolences may be offered at www.pleasantvalleyfh.com
Hugh Stanford Nixon November 10, 1926 – May 25, 2015 Hugh passed away peacefully at the age of 88, with family by his side. He will be missed by his children Eric, David, Lelia, Catherine, Marc and sister Ellinore. Gramps was also survived by 9 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren. Hugh was born in Avonlea, Saskatchewan on November 10, 1926. At age 24 he moved to Nakusp where he met and married his late wife Helen (nee Juras) in 1951. Together they owned and operated the Nixon’s Poultry Farm during the 1960’s. They purchased the iconic Hut restaurant in the 1970’s and ran it as a family business until his retirement in 1980. He will be fondly remembered for his hilarious storytelling, quick wit and laughter. Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Norm Lea and the staff at the Arrow Lakes Hospital for their kind attention and care. Hugh requested that there be no service. A private family celebration for Hugh will be held at a later date; donations in memory are suggested to the Arrow Lakes Hospital Foundation.

“A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” Meaning: It’s better to have a lesser but certain advantage than the possibility of a greater one that may come to nothing. Origin: This medieval proverb comes from the sport of
falconry, where the ‘bird in the hand’ (the preying falcon) was worth more than ‘two in the bush’ - the prey.

After a closure of almost five years, the Silverton Lakeshore Inn will soon reopen, but the owner is appealing for the return of artifacts and equipment recently stolen from the historic building. Maurice Palmer, who has owned the 118-year-old hotel since 2006, told 103.5 Juice FM he was shocked to discover it was vandalized and looted sometime over the last six months. Damage includes broken windows and doors and evidence someone tried to set the building on fire. “People came in and partied and took quite a bit of stuff,” he said. Missing are five air conditioners from the front rooms; two compressors in the electrical room that cooled the beer fridge and walk-in cooler; washroom mirrors, five historical photos of Silverton and Sandon; an old yellow Silverton hockey jersey that was framed in the bar; a metal British American oil sign; and an 18-inch diameter faux silver dollar on the wall of the Silver Dollar Room in the basement. (The latter is of unknown vintage but was probably made of zinc.) Palmer says he’s not sure if one person or several was responsible for the thefts. “It’s hard to say, but it had to have been someone mechanically inclined because the compressors run from the electrical room to the walk-in cooler, which is 30

to 40 feet. Someone had to know how to take it apart. They would have needed a truck to take it out.” As of Friday, he didn’t have any leads and so far has not filed a police complaint, but he’s offering a reward for the missing items or information leading to the culprits. “Hopefully someone returns the stuff. It would be nice to get it back, no questions asked.” Palmer, a Kamloops resident, renovated the hotel and reopened it in 2007, running it for a few years before leasing it out. In 2010, he put the building up for sale, and it has been empty ever since. He removed some of the hotel’s collection of metal signs, but left the BA one behind because it wouldn’t fit in his truck. He’s been back once a year to tidy the place up, and now has a caretaker. Palmer has decided to re-open the hotel for longer-term accommodation and will rent six rooms at $500 per month. He also expects to lease the restaurant soon. “The hotel will soon be open and have another heartbeat,” he said. The Silverton Inn was originally called the Selkirk Hotel, and opened in 1897 under the partnership of Brandon and Barrett. (Dan Brandon and his brother William lent their name to the Slocan suburb of Brandon.) An early ad stated: “The house is plastered and the rooms are furnished in a manner calculated to make travelers call again. Mining and Commercial men will appreciate the home comforts of this hotel.”
