New Building Canada Fund grant presented to the Village of Nakusp RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
In January 2015 the Village of Nakusp staff submitted an application for grant money through the New Building Canada program. The application was one of 21 other applications that were submitted in the Kootenay- Columbia region; only seven applications were approved. The New Building Canada Fund is an Infrastructure Canada funding project created by the government of Canada under the overall $53 billion New Building Canada Plan (NBCP). The government has allocated $14 billion to support projects of national, regional and local significance that will promote economic growth, job creation and productivity. Working with
provinces, territories, municipalities and the private sector, the funding project aims to encourage investments in infrastructure that are economically and environmentally focused. Communities with fewer than 100, 000 residents can apply for a targeted branch of funding through the Small Communities Fund, which specifically requires proposed projects to meet three criteria; economic growth, clean environment and stronger communities. On July 30, Kootenay-Columbia MP, David Wilks, announced the success of the Nakusp application during an impromptu gathering of the mayor, council and residents. “I was quite happy with the number of projects that were approved in the Kootenay-Columbia,” Wilks commented. “Our
Nakusp’s 510 Broadway St W, Nakusp, BC (250) 265-3662
riding submitted the most and it bodes well for your staff who have obviously written a very good grant application because there was some very good competition out there.” The money will be used to fund improvements to the Nakusp water distribution system by installing a pressure reducing station and a flow meter for the Sleepy Hollow residential area. During Wilks’ announcement, he explained the project funding will be broken down into thirds, which each level of government (federal, provincial and municipal) contributing around $86,666. Mayor Karen Hamling thanked David Wilks and the government for investing in Nakusp’s water infrastructure and acknowledged that, “Without programs like New
Buildings Canada it would be difficult for small communities like Nakusp to undertake this type of project. We really do appreciate it.” Hamling also went on to explain, “The installation of the pressure reducing station and water mains will improve the efficiency and reliability of the water distribution system and will reduce the number of water main breaks. It will also assist the village with its water conservation efforts by reducing the substantial water losses incurred resulting when there is a water main break.” Wilks’ concluded, “I think that this project, when completed, will be a great asset to the village and will maintain consistent and reliable water pressure in the potable water main servicing residents in the Sleepy Hollow area.”

Hot summer leads to early migration
This year, the annual Toadfest event will be held on Wednesday August 12th, from 4-7 p.m. at Summit Lake Provincial Park, south of Nakusp. The warm spring and hot summer has the annual migration of toadlets start earlier than has ever been seen before, and the toadlets are already on the move. The peak toadlet movement may have come and gone, but there will still be lots of activities to do and displays to see at Toadfest. The free 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 Operations, Columbia Basin Trust, and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. “We anticipated that the migration would be earlier this year because early breeding was observed,” says Crystal Klym, Program Manager for the FWCP in the Columbia Region. “Then the very
hot summer accelerated the growth of the tadpoles, and large numbers of toadlets were already moving by the third week of July”. Western oads are provincially bluelisted (vulnerable) and, while numbers are still relatively strong at Summit Lake, their distribution is shrinking and the center of the world’s distribution has shifted from the USA to B.C. One of the challenges faced by the toads at Summit Lake is getting across Highway 6 without getting squashed by vehicles as they migrate between the lake and upland habitat. Adults move to and from the lake to breed in the spring, and then the toadlets make one migration in late summer when they leave the lakeshore and move to upland habitat where they disperse and mature. A recently constructed toad tunnel and wildlife fencing, installed by the Ministry of Transportation, Highways and Infrastructure, and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource
Operations, have already proven very successful in guiding toads and toadlets safely under the road but there are still large sections of the road where they have no protection from the traffic. “Toadfest is about more than collecting toadlets; it really is a great opportunity to learn about the local ecology and other wildlife and plants in the region,” added Klym. “There will be live aquatic insects, amphibians, and reptiles to see as well as a variety of fun kids’ activities and interactive displays to participate in.” Parking is limited so carpooling is encouraged. To learn more about Summit Lake Provincial Park, and B.C. Parks, visit www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks. For more information about Toadfest call the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program at 250-352-1300 or visit fwcp.ca. The public are reminded not to collect or transport any toadlets across the highway outside of this organized event.
Campfire ban still in effect in the Southeast region RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
Currently there are no significant fires in the Nakusp area. There are pockets of alpine fires within the region, but these are not threatening any communities or structures and are being monitored daily by BC Wildfire personal. The fire threat for the Southeast fire center remains high, but there is not much of
a chance for that to change, as the BC Wildfire weather forecast does not show any significant upcoming precipitation. BC Wildfire Service information officer, Fanny Bernard, is still encouraging community members to exercise caution when engaging in outdoor recreation or any other activity that might ignite fires; “It might be a little cooler over the next few days, but we are still expecting to be busy with wildfires for

Community grant fund for Nakusp RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
The Regional District of Central Kootenay has approved the Village of Nakusp’s application for funds to complete two maintenance projects at the Nakusp Arena and to purchase an electronic radar speed display sign. During the July RDCK board meeting, $22,625.81 was approved to be made available to the Village of Nakusp through the community development grant program. The RDCK community program was established with the goal of supporting social, economic and environmental initiatives of residents and organizations within the district.
The Village of Nakusp will use the money to complete maintenance on the fire escape stairs outside the Nakusp Arena as well as address the window frame damage in the curling rink. The frames have been targeted by ants but, “this is just maintenance, not a major repair,” Chief Administrative Officer Laurie Taylor clarified. A radar speed sign has been ordered by the village, and will be installed on Broadway Street near the Nakusp Public beach upon arrival. “We have had issues in the past with speeding in various parts of town, so the idea is to have ones of those notice boards that we can move around to let motorists know when they are speeding,” Taylor explained. “The first area we want to hit is the recreation area by the beach.”
The School Works program provides an $8/hr student wage subsidy during the school year. Application forms available online August 13, 2015.

SENIORS’ COLUMN MARILYN BOXWELL Seniors’ column aquaconn@columbiacable.net
This week’s column focuses on the long and rich history of our area, thanks in part to the efforts of current or past active members of the Nakusp and District Chamber of Commerce. As the Seniors’ Column editor, I am keeping in mind that numerous visitors who normally reside in other parts of the country, would like to know more about the history of the Nakusp region as a basic introduction to our extraordinary community. As a collector by nature, I’ve frequently had the opportunity to retrieve what is current as well as out-of-print publications in addition to many humorous snatches of wisdom along with colourful bits and pieces reflecting on
times gone by. To begin this week’s column, I hope readers will enjoy some interesting details concerning our small, and to some, what is viewed as the laid-back village of Nakusp and area. From these notes one may review its long and bustling history, which lies hidden behind the quiet streets and storefronts of today. This area was first used as a seasonal fishing and hunting camp, intended for First Nations people who travelled up the Columbia River from what is now the state of Washington. The place name Nakusp is derived from a native term meaning “bay of quiet waters” and is rumoured to have come about when an early fishing party arrived at this site following a journey through a particularly challenging storm. Upon achieving landfall in the sheltered bay, their Chief was noted to have uttered the word “Nequ’sp” — interpreted to mean the party would be kept safe from the storm. Historians tell us David Thompson was the first European to arrive in this area, journey-
ing along the Columbia River, in search of its source. It was he who was generally credited to have named the Arrow Lakes. Since this was known to be a traditional First Nations hunting ground, numerous arrows could be found in various locations along the lakeshores. It is believed Thompson named the lakes following the discovery of a number of arrows, which had been shot near a cliff, with only the arrowheads remaining. This display is thought to be the result of an early Native archery competition, amongst other possibilities. In 1891 the development of the Slocan Valley’s discovery of zinc, lead and silver was to take place. Although Nakusp appeared to be considered outside the mineral belt, the mining boom brought prosperity to the region as well. We evolved into becoming the transportation hub, destined to serve this newly bustling area. A large shipyard, as depicted in a magnificent detailed painting, which told the story,

now mounted on the walls of Nakusp’s Halcyon House retirement facility, illustrates the story. The shipyard was built in order to service the numerous sternwheelers, which transported ore, produce, livestock and people as well as meeting the additional transportation needs of society as they arose. The mining boom soon brought about other forms of transportation, however, with the coming of roads and railways, the passage of time dictated the majestic sternwheelers were eventually phased out. Next week’s column will focus on the early days of Nakusp as a thriving community which quickly began to develop starting in the year 1892. Note the Nakusp and District Chamber of Commerce operates a well organized visitor centre located downtown next to the public library and just adjacent to the giant blue paddle wheeler stationed on the grounds. Staff and volunteers will be pleased to respond to your questions. Don’t forget to sign the guest book!

Toadfest is a fun, free family event to raise awareness about Western Toads, help some toadlets across the road, and learn about other local species! The toadlet migration has been very early this year but come and see some live aquatic insects, amphibians, and reptiles; take in the interactive wildlife displays; and enjoy the kids’ activities.

Music in the Park
The charismatic performer/musician Mat Duffus encouraged everyone who was lucky enough to attend Music in the Park to “shake rattle and roll” during the traditional kids themed concert. Generating copious amounts of silly energy from the enthusiastic crowd, Duffs jingle-jangled through an entertaining musical set, which included dance competitions and sing-alongs. Musical instruments were freely distributed for the audience to play along with and every youth was able to walk away from the evening’s concert with a children’s book courtesy of Kootenay Savings Credit Union.
Drop in anytime. Parking is limited so please car pool. Do not transport any toadlets outside of this organized event.

• This Week in History • August 7, 1925 Samuel J. Harlow, well-known old-timer of this district, was suddenly struck down by falling timber in a bush fire near Box Lake. E.Cook, who was working beside him, lies in the Arrow Lakes Hospital suffering from many bruises and a cut on his forehead, which necessitated 11 stitches. The tragedy occurred on Sunday afternoon about 3:30 p.m. when a stick of timber about 20 feet long and a foot in diameter fell from the top of the nearby tree and pinned both men to the ground. Mr. Harlow was killed outright. The cries of Mr. Cook brought willing hands to his aid. Mr. Harlow was 51 years of age. August 4, 1955 manager Chris Haire opened
the door of the new Overwaitea supermarket Friday. A lineup of waiting customers stretched for 60 feet and it was estimated that almost 100 people passed through the store that day. Over 300 Franks were barbecued and almost 400 bottles of pop and balloons were handed out to the kids.

August 5, 1965 This week Nakusp friends were shocked to learn of the passing of Alan Taylor, aged 19, in the Arrow Lakes Hospital after a brief illness. He came with his parents from Sidmouth 11 years ago and had graduated this spring from Nakusp Secondary School.
August 7, 1985 Costs of the fires in the Nakusp area have jumped to $3.3 million as of Tuesday. Costs are attributable to the 159 fires fought in the Nakusp field office jurisdiction. Crews have been reduced from 514 to about 450 on the lines. Forest Service staff has been cut to about 30. There are still 10 helicopters stationed in Nakusp but officials were discussing sending some of them away as of Wednesday.

Records fall at Idaho Peak marathon
The third annual Idaho Peak Mountain Marathon and 10 km trail run presented by the Kootenay Sufferfest Society was record breaking. The event attracted 39 racers from across western Canada for the races held on Sunday in New Denver, the highest number of participants the event has seen. The event consisted of two races. The Idaho Peak Mountain Marathon, a foot race using New Denver’s trail network leading to Idaho Peak and back covering a distance of 46 km and a vertical mile (1.6 km) of elevation. The 10 km trail run shuttled participants to Three Forks where they raced down the Galena Trail to the finish line at Lucerne elementary secondary school. The record for the Idaho Peak Mountain Marathon was set by Andrew Brisbin from Canmore, in a time of 4:07:35, breaking the previous record from 2014 by 10 minutes. Close behind were Greg Munby of Kaslo (4:19:44), and Jamie Dunnett from Victoria (4:22:16). In the ladies division for the marathon, Jody Lownds from Revelstoke was first with a time of 5:22:09. Naomi Humenny from Kimberly was second (5:39:40) and Mishka Heimowski of Nelson was third (5:41:52). The men’s winner in the 10 km run was Danny Semenoff from Nelson while the ladies winner was Lori McWilliam from Genelle. Kolibri Drobish from Hills came in a close second overall in the ladies 10 km in a time of 44:50. Elias Lampimaki from Nakusp was the youngest competitor at age 10. It was a fun, family friendly event with many father-son, mother-son and mother-daughter duos taking part. The oldest competitor was Paul Doyle from Oliver who turned 69 the following

Nakusp Softball Tournament hits a home run! RYAN WILLMAN Arrow Lakes News
Last weekend Kathy Peterson and Helen Zeleznik baseball fields were invaded by 20 softball teams for the 29th annual August-Long Slow Pitch Ball Tournament. The three-day tournament was the successful result of countless hours of volunteer work by a dedicated group of community members who banded together to make the event a reality for Nakusp. Key members include Ryan Struck, Zac Wethal, Kaitlyn Wethal and Jarrod Teindl who were on hand at the fields making sure everything ran as smoothly as it did by performing maintenance, crowd
control and umpire organization among a host of other responsibilities. On the sidelines, Donna Rebman, Mary McCormack Hamling and Travis Rebman volunteered to organize and run the beer gardens, which helped fuel the fires of sport during the tournament. The core group rallied an army of community member volunteers to help sling suds and got a boost support from Tristin Sinclair and the Naksup and Area Bike Society. Food wise, the Rotary Club of Nakusp kept athletes and spectators fed-up by setting up shop in the Gazebo Park and Jay Gardner stepped in at the last minute to grill grub out of the Wolf ’s Den food truck on location at the ball fields. The boys who shouldered the bulk of the tournament
organizing were all impressed with how the tournament played out. “It went great in my eyes!” Zac Wethal stated, “I didn’t hear many complaints, food was good, drinks were cold, and the ball was awesome!” Teindl added, “Thanks to Overwaitea, Home Hardware and the volunteer crew who supported this weekend and made it a huge success. As always, we couldn’t have done it without a great supporting cast, another reason we are proud to be part of this community.” Struck commented that, “from start to finish, this was the smoothest weekend I’ve had running this tournament,” adding, “the weather was fantastic, the quality of ball was extremely high and everyone had a great time.”

FREE family nature programs The Slocan Wetland Assessment and Monitoring Project (SWAMP) is hosting two free family outings in August to share the wonder of wetlands in the Slocan Valley. Wetlands, literally “wet lands,” are unique and rich ecosystems that occur throughout our region, from valley bottom to the alpine. The first event, in the south valley, is scheduled for Saturday, August 8 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Participants will meet at Fomi’s Bakery, just north of Winlaw, and will explore wetlands along the rail trail. Members of the SWAMP field team will demonstrate how they study a wetland, share their knowledge about the flora and fauna and talk about how to protect or enhance wetlands on private property. For further details on this program, contact Rhia MacKenzie at zzoist@gmail.com or 250-226-7544. The public can join experts to explore different types of wetland north of New Denver in Hills on Wednesday, August 12, from 12 to 3:30 p.m. Participants should bring

For further details on this program, contact Marcy Mahr at marcy@netidea.com or 250-358-2669. Preregistration for either of these programs is recommended but not required. Since 2013, SWAMP has been using a scientific approach to identify and classify wetlands throughout the Slocan watershed to improve understanding of wetland ecology and inform restoration and conservation decisions. This local initiative relies on local professionals who love discovering and sharing new information on the plants, animals and insects found in wetlands. The information collected by SWAMP will result in a comprehensive mapping database for wetlands in our valley and will help refine provincial wetland classification for our region. Check out the new SWAMP website: www.slocanswamp.org to learn more about the project and keep up to date on interesting and rare discoveries. The SWAMP partnership includes the Slocan River Streamkeepers Society, Slocan Lake Stewardship Society, Slocan Solutions Society, Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program, Ministry of Forest Lands and Natural Resource Operations, BC Wildlife Federation, Central Kootenay Invasive Species Society, Regional District of Central Kootenay and Environment Canada.

Birds of Nakusp
It doesn’t seem to matter how long I’ve lived and birded here, there’s always something different showing up. And the past month has been no exception! On June 26 I was riding my bike through town when I heard a familiar, but very unexpected song. It was long and rambling with lots of variety and repeated phrases. I knew it was a Northern Mockingbird before I saw it. Nothing else sings quite like it! As the name suggests, mockingbirds mimic, (or mock) other birds. Their songs always include very familiar phrases from other songs as well as some characteristic phrases of their own. Northern Mockingbirds have a summer breeding range that includes much of the southern two-thirds of the United States. In the west it is known to breed to northern California and Nevada. There are also a few breeding records just north of those states in
Gary Davidson
southern Oregon and southern Idaho. There are no breeding records for BC, but it has been reported here a few times over the years. Many years ago I saw one in Manning Park. Mockingbirds do have a reputation for being wanderers, so while unexpected, nobody is extremely surprised when they show up out of range. At 25 cm in length, the Northern Mockingbird is about the same size as a robin, but is a more slender looking bird with a much longer tail. It is basically grey above and white below, with darker wings showing conspicuous white patches in flight. Another surprise visitor recently was the Franklin’s Gull that I saw near the mouth of Kuskanax Creek on July 6th. This gull breeds in the Prairies. There are records from BC, but most of these sightings are immature birds; the Kuskanax bird was an adult. Franklin’s Gulls do not breed in their
first year and the nonbreeding immature birds are quite mobile and do wander more than the adults. Franklin’s Gulls are small gulls with solid black heads. When I first saw this bird on the lakeshore I thought it was a Bonaparte’s Gull. Bonaparte’s also has a black head (at distance they look very similar), and is much more common than Franklin’s in our region. One of the differences between the two is bill colour: Bonaparte’s is black, Franklin’s is red. This sighting is just the third Franklin’s Gull I have seen in the valley in 40 years.
This notice is published in accordance with Section 405(1) of the Local Government Act. • The lowest amount for which parcel may be sold is the “Upset Price”.
