After seven days of living and working at the summit of Saddleback Mountain, Cory Philipson and his crew have completed the renovations to the exterior of the Old Glory lookout cabin. The small cabin, perched picturesquely overlooking Nakusp, was originally constructed in 1923 and periodically manned by fire scouts who kept a watch-
ful vigil over the Arrow Lakes valley and surrounding area. With advancements in technology making fire lookouts obsolete, the cabin has been reinvented as a destination for hikers using the Saddleback Mountain trail. The request to the Ministry of Forests to consider the cabin renovation was initiated by Nakusp and Area Community Trails Society, who act as stewards for the trail that leads to the summit. “We are only stewards, we don’t own the trails,“ Wulf Mense, a director on the Trails Society board, clarified. “The ministry is the one who comes through with the money for things

like signage or renovations. We get a lot of support from the ministry, but at the same time we do a lot of work for them.” After the Trails Society conducted a brief search for contractors who were willing to take on the renovation project, the proposed venture was passed off to local professional carpenter Cory Phillipson who began collaborating with Kootenay-Boundary district Recreation officer, Justin Dexter.

Imagine Canadian celebrity Rick Mercer sauntering through your town as he records one of his famous rants. That’s one of the prizes the Kootenay Community Voter Challenge is negotiating for the community that has the highest increase in voter turnout in the federal election this October. Challenge representative Kiara Lynch spoke to the Regional District of Central Kootenay, inviting the 20 directors to register their communities in the non-partisan challenge. “A challenge is not a challenge without challengees,” said Lynch, who added suggested rewards include a seat in the senate for the mayor of the community with the highest increase in voter turn-out or a golden ticket to local attractions. Board chair and Nakusp mayor Karen Hamling said she’s up for the challenge. “But if Nakusp wins, I would not like to win a seat in the senate,” she said to the laughter of her fellow board members. Rural Salmo director Hans Cunningham was in favour of anything that encourages voting. “We would like to participate,” he said, but was uncertain if federal election voting would allow for Ymir residents to be counted separate from their Salmo voting station. Lynch confirmed that they can extrapolate the data. The winner of the challenge will be the community which shows the greatest percentage increase in voter participation over the results of the 2011 federal election. By using percentages rather than voter counts, communities of different populations can still fairly compete. Rural Kaslo director Aimee Watson said: “I want a better representative government. I suggest that better representation is the reward.” Lynch said the upcoming federal election is the perfect opportunity to encourage democratic process.

Nelson mayor Deb Kozak noted her council has already accepted the challenge. “I want to throw down the white gloves,” she said. Creston, however, has declined to participate. The driving force behind the challenge is to get people interested in voting to the point where they register and get to the voting stations on Oct. 19. Feedback has also spurred an offer from Tiny Lights Festival founder and executive director Carla Stevenson. “I not only want to take this challenge on for Ymir but will donate two tickets to the Tiny Lights Festival 2016 to the winning community!” she wrote.
Winlaw hardware store robbed Burglars broke into Home Hardware in Winlaw last Wednesday night, and owner Darren McCoy says the hunting and sporting gear stolen is worth about $7500. “They took camo hunting shirts jackets and pants, hunting knives, walkie-talkies, cordless phones, and ammunition,” McCoy said. And they attempted to steal a 600-pound safe, moving it outside with a dolly and then abandoning it, damaged. “It was a fairly sophisticated entry and they were on the scene for quite some time,” Constable Nick Herder of the

Kiara Lynch (right) and Mike Chapman (left), Kootenay Community Voter Challenge representatives, have invited the Regional District of Central Kootenay board to join the challenge.
Slocan Lake RCMP told the Star, but he declined to elaborate until a forensics officer completes an investigation. He said the burglars entered the store sometime after 2:30 a.m. when “the neighbours reported their dogs going crazy.” Employees discovered the break-in the next morning and are still carrying out an inventory of the losses. McCoy said they also destroyed his video surveillance system and cut the phone lines. “But what they didn’t know,” he said, “was that I had a trail cam set up in the store to catch shoplifters and the footage is at

In that case, the building was damaged and about $900 in cash was stolen. Herder said the similarities, and conversations he has had with neighbours, have led him to suspect that the same people committed both robberies, and that they are local. “If anyone remembers suspicious vehicles and pedestrians that night, we really need their help with this,” Herder said.

RCMP busy with B&Es ryan willman Arrow Lakes News
RCMP have been busy over the past month, investigating a breaking and entering in Nakusp, and making an arrest off an interprovincial warrant in Slocan. Nakusp RCMP investigated after the Hut Drive-In, the wellknown restaurant located on Broadway Street, suffered a destructive break and enter last Wednesday. The Nakusp RCMP believes the unlawful entry and subsequent vandalism occurred sometime in the early hours that morning. The break-in appears to have been motivated by an intention to rob the restaurant of its onsite cash-holdings, but according to Nakusp Corporal Jason Burndred, “They didn’t really get much, they were successful in gaining entry into the hut, but they didn’t make off with any substantial amount of money. They did more damage than anything.” While the RCMP have not yet arrested a suspect, they are on
the case. “The event is being actively investigated,” Burndred reported, “we have a few person’s of interest in this case.” RCMP would like to encourage anyone with information about the break and enter to please contact the Nakusp detachment. The New Denver detachment also saw some action this month, arresting a man for breaking and entering in Alberta. “My guys in the New Denver office were the ones who made the arrest,” Burndred stated in regards to the interprovincial arrest made in Slocan earlier this month. Stemming from an investigation that was conducted in July, the suspect in question was picked up from a Slocan residence by RCMP officers in early August. “He had a warrant for break and enter in the Edmonton area from 2010, “Burndred explained. “The warrant was out of Alberta, so we sought the extension of the warrant radius to include B.C. The warrant was approved, we made the arrest and he got shipped off to Edmonton.” RCMP officers also recovered a firearm as a result of the arrest.
Seeing “redd” at Meadow Creek spawning channel
Fall is around the corner and it’s that “redd” time of year again; not the colour of the leaves, but when the Kokanee head up local streams and rivers to dig their redds (gravel nests) and spawn. Meadow Creek Spawning Channel, at the north end of Kootenay Lake, is a great place to view them, especially during the free, annual open house between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., on Saturday, Sept. 12. The channel is managed by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO), and primarily funded by the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP). It is located about four kilometers west of Meadow Creek. The open house provides a great opportunity to talk to FLNRO biologists and field technicians, and view the fish at (or near) the peak of their run. There will also be information about grizzly bears, BearSmart, and the Nutrient Restoration Program in Kootenay Lake. “Typically there are tens of thousands of spawning Kokanee to be viewed together each year,” said FWCP Columbia Region Manager, Crystal Klym. “And it is always quite an amazing site.” The 3.3 kilometer looping channel, built in 1967 with BC Hydro funds to compensate for upstream spawning habitat lost due to the construction of Duncan Dam,

can accommodate several hundred thousand spawning Kokanee, and millions of eggs in the gravel. The channel is open to the public every day between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. for the duration of the spawning season that usually runs from late August through to late September. With the congregating Kokanee, the channel attracts both black and grizzly bears, and FLNRO may order a temporary total closure to the public if there
are high bear densities during the regular open hours. The FWCP is a partnership between the Province of B.C., BC Hydro, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, First Nations and Public Stakeholders to conserve and enhance fish and wildlife impacted by the construction of BC Hydro dams.

For me, it’s always been a pleasure to be able to turn to the Arrow Lakes Historical Society Archives for interesting details regarding the early beginnings of many of our area’s century-old buildings and their occupants. They are located primarily within the Nakusp downtown area. The Archives is to be highly commended for undertaking major projects over the years including the development of new archives facilities located adjacent to the public library. The overall purpose is focused on gathering and organizing
thousands of donated photographs, maps, books and individual documents which do much to stimulate our imagination based on what life could have been like for resident pioneers around the year 1892 This was the time when our region first began to develop as a terminus for the Nakusp and Slocan Railway line and shipyard intended to facilitate lake transport. Sawmills and pole yards proliferated along the waterfront, followed by the growth of agricultural enterprises, primarily orchards, some of which still exist along the old Nakusp railway line, which is currently undergoing change to a public access walking and hiking trail. A well researched brochure entitled “Nakusp Heritage Walk” focuses on a series of older buildings which served to house numerous area businesses, churches, walkways, meeting places and various other public facilities which functioned actively at the time. Some of these business undertakings are still in existence today. Chuck Bennett

Take for example the story behind Spicer’s Farm. It was in 1906 that Sam Henry purchased 169 acres at this site, which included nearly 3/4 of a mile of magnificent shoreline. To his credit, he retained ownership of the middle portion of the rich black soil, which he used for his renowned market garden. In 1911 Sam bought the Genelle house and had it moved onto the farm. When the Buesnel brothers acquired the property, they added a dairy farm to the garden. It was in 1948 that Chris Spicer purchased the property and upon his passing his daughter Janet (who today remains a well respected resident of the area) took over the business. To obtain a copy of the Heritage Walk brochure, which includes a map of where the businesses are located, drop into the Archives or the Visitor Centre next door. The Archives is open and welcomes visitors on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information go to alhs-archives.com.

• This Week in History • September 4, 1925 At 2 a.m. September 2, Nakusp residents were disturbed from their peaceful slumber by the piercing sounds of the new fire siren. The quicker ones to the fire reel saw that the cause of all the racket was the Grand Hotel. Quick connections were made and the hose run out and the water turned on the smoking building. Half the town rushed down the street to the scene of the action, while the other half slept peacefully on, ignorant that the town was in grave danger. Fortunately, the Fire Brigade was well trained and the wind was blowing towards the lake. The occupants of the hotel were roused by Mr. Eastman who awoke to find the flames creeping through the floor of his own room. He slept directly above the furnace room and it is believed that the fire had burned the whole length of the building. Everything was held tight till
the flames suddenly burst through the roof. Very soon after that the roof caved in followed by the walls. The heat was so intense that the spectators backed up as far as Jordan’s Store. Only the fact that the wind held towards the lake saved unlimited damage to the town. The brigade worked nobly and stuck to the hose in the hottest part of the fire. Only water playing on the adjoining buildings and the Leland Hotel saved them. Sparks flew on the roof of the Leland and the paint was scorched very badly on the side. Wet blankets were hung in front of the windows, which undoubtedly saved them.

Golfers may have recently noticed the man-made pit forming behind the number two green at the Nakusp Centennial Golf Club — evidence of a building project that is currently underway. The golf course planning team is working to erect a structure to house 24 golf carts for the golf course, thus moving the carts from their current storage location. NACFOR broke ground and has been prepping the site for building, which included the removal of a few good size trees, which Nakusp Golf Club president Joe Williams plans to make use of. The RDCK has also recently approved of a $5000 grant that will be used to support the building project. “Folks don’t always understand the economic value of having a golf course in town,” Paul Peterson, RDCK Area-K director explained when asked about the grant approval. Williams went into further detail about the role of the golf course in the community. “We have members in Edmonton, Calgary, Washington and Okanagan and we have two tournaments that come here from the Okanagan — they come here and stay in the hotels and spend money in town. It works really good for the community, thousands of people come here, golf, then go into town and spend their money,” Peterson added. With the funding received from the RDCK and NACFOR Williams is confident that the addition of the building to house golf carts will not affect membership fees. “Their support keeps golf in this town affordable for the people who live here, and in return the benefits are that thousands of people come here to golf on this little golf course.”

The resent dissipation of the smoke that has filled the Arrow Lakes valley for the last few weeks has also evaporated the fire ban in the Southeast Fire Center. Effective Monday the BC Wildfire Service has lifted the summerlong fire ban due to cooler and wetter conditions in the forecast and a decreased wildfire risk in the region. Campfires smaller than halfmeter wide by half-meter high and outdoor stoves are now permitted, however BC Wildfire Service urges residents to continue to exercise caution and common sense when burning outdoors. Karlie Shaughnessy, Fire Infor-
mation Officer for B.C. Wildfire Services, warns, “Anyone who lights a campfire must have a hand tool (such as a shovel) or at least eight litres of water available to fully extinguish it. Never leave a campfire unattended and make sure ashes are completely cold to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time.” Small backyard burning piles (Category 2 open fires) remain prohibited within the Southeast Fire Centre. These prohibitions include; the burning of stubble or grass, fireworks, sky lanterns and burning barrels. Category 3 open fires continue to be prohibited throughout the Southeast Fire Centre’s jurisdictional area. A complete list of categorized burn-
ing activities can be found at www. bcwildfire.ca. These prohibitions cover all BC Parks, Crown lands and private lands, but do not apply within the boundaries of a local government that has forest fire prevention bylaws and is serviced by a fire department. Please check with local governments for any other restrictions before lighting any fire.a Anyone found in contravention of an open burning prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345, required to pay an administrative penalty of $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and/ or sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.

Birds of Nakusp Gary Davidson
Cedar Waxwing. There are two species of waxwings in North America and both visit our area regularly. Waxwings are so-named because of the small red tips to the wing feathers that resemble a bit of wax stuck to the end of the feather. Although the two species are very similar in appearance, we rarely have any problem with identification since the two species visit our area at different times of the year. Cedar Waxwings are summer birds. They usually arrive around the end of May and generally depart sometime in September. By contrast, Bohemian Waxwings come only in the winter, usually arriving in November and departing in March.

Cedar waxwings have a mixed diet; they eat a lot of berries but may also be seen catching insects in the air. In addition they are one of the very few species that actually eat flower petals. Early in the breeding season, they sometimes engage in an unusual courship ritual. Birds will pass petals, or sometimes berries back forth between each other. Bohemian Waxwings have a very similar diet, but when they are in our area, insects are hard to find. Their winter diet is almost entirely berries. Their preferred food seems to be the red-orange berries of the mountain ash. While these berries are available in the forest from wild trees and shrubs, they are more
accessible from the domestic varieties planted in cities and towns. For this reason, the Bohemian Waxwing tends to favour populated areas. Like many trees, the productivity of the Mountain Ash varies considerably from year to year. In years when this food source is scarce the waxwings tend to move on, looking for greener pastures elsewhere. Some years, however, the trees are loaded with berries and we see far more waxwings! But even in bumper years, the birds will have finished off the berries well before winter’s end and waxwing numbers drop off considerably in January. Even in good berry years, however, there is considerable variation in Bohemian Waxwing numbers. This is likely due to feeding conditions further north. If there is ample food closer to their northern breeding range, there is little reason to make long trips to the south. These are flocking birds. If a few hundred visit Nakusp they will move around town in one, or maybe two large flocks. On occasion the flocks get much larger; I recall one year seeing a flock which I estimated to contain 5000 birds. If you should see a flock of Bohemian Waxwings descend on a mountain ash tree, you can’t help but be impressed by their table manners! Often, the flock is larger than the tree can support. The main flock will sit patiently in a nearby larger tree while small waves move down into the berry tree. As one bird has had its fill and moves out, another moves in to take its place! The number of birds in the berry tree varies very little! Cedar Waxwings are not seen in such large flocks, although after the end of breeding season they will form small flocks of perhaps two or three dozen. Any waxwings seen at the moment, will be Cedar. Their breeding season is over and the young be independent by now. They do not spend a lot of time here, between their late May arrival and their September departure, their time with us is barely four months of the year.

Community spirit at the Youth Centre
Community spirit is defined as a group of people working together to help improve the community they live in. Our community is Nakusp. The people who work together are you and me. Starting this fall, the Nakusp and Area Youth Society (NAYS) will start a new project and everyone is invited to participate. We want to contribute to the maturity of a successful society by building, developing and fostering community spirit. “To get results you don’t have, you have to do something you’re not currently doing,” says Jean-Francois Brodeur. And so with this in mind, we will guide and facilitate meetings between youth and those in the community taking positive action. Jean-Francois Brodeur and Ty Klassen will meet with local and interested youth on Monday evenings to work on the projects chosen by the youth. “We are all teachers and

also students,” says Ty. We will watch videos, host round table discussions, play games and have the occasional speaker. Learning will be interactive and engaging. The Youth Society still owns the green door lot, located across the road from the high school and is working to erect a new center. Nevertheless, until we put the shovel in the ground, we can still embellish the space and use it for other projects. The Community Spirit project will be multifaceted and interdisciplinary which will hopefully interest and engage a variety of individuals. Some of the current ideas are to paint murals on the old green door building. We can also use the space to grow food. There are opportunities to use writing skills and make videos as well. The possibilities are endless and will be directed by the youth who participate. The first meeting will be held on Monday, Sept. 21 at 7 p.m. at the Youth Center.
