RCMP say a woman’s remains have been discovered following a house � re on Purdy Rd. in Hills on Monday.

Police, the BC Coroners Service, and the BC Fire Commissioner’s O� ce conducted a thorough scene examina-tion Tuesday in an attempt to deter-mine the cause, Sgt. Darryl Little said.

“At this point there is no evidence of foul play,” he said. “It appears that the � re may have

been caused from a wood burning cookstove.”Little said there is evidence to sug-

gest the woman re-entered the home to save her belongings but was overcome by the � re, which destroyed the home.

A positive identif ication of the remains has not been made.

Slocan Lake RCMP arrived at the home just a� er midnight Monday to � nd it fully engulfed in � ames and the homeowner, a 44-year-old woman, unaccounted for.

Local residents with help from the Hills vol-unteer � re department extinguished the blaze before it could spread to the nearby forest.

Residents in areas of the Columbia Basin-Boundary region that currently do not have high speed internet connections may soon see an upgrade to their online access. On July 8 the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Industry and Minis-ter Responsible for British Columbia, and David Wilks, Member of Parliament for Kootenay–Columbia announced that the government program, Connecting Cana-dians (Digital Canada 150), has approved the Columbia Basin Trust’s funding applica-tion to bring internet access to remote and disconnected areas. Connecting Canadi-ans will be providing $3.34 million to the Trust’s subsidiary, Columbia Basin Broad-band Corporation, who will be coordinat-ing the project and working with 12 internet service providers to install wire or wireless infrastructures capable of providing high speed internet connection. � e proposed project will target over 11,000 homes in the Kootenay region, including homes in Edge-wood, Whatshan Lake and Slocan Valley.

“Columbia Basin Trust is committed to bringing better broadband to the Columbia

Basin–Boundary region, and this funding is an important step forward in giving over 11,000 households the ability to participate fully in the digital world,” said Neil Muth, President and CEO, Columbia Basin Trust. “� ank you to the Minister, the Govern-ment of Canada, our local government part-ners and internet service providers for their e� orts in bringing a� ordable high-speed internet services to our communities.”

Connecting Canadians was created through the 2014 Economic Action Plan

and has been backed by a $305 million com-mitment to connect over 280,000 homes by 2017. Over 99 per cent of Canadian house-holds currently have access to basic broad-band with speeds of 1.5 Mbps, but newer online technologies typically require faster speeds and higher data transfer rates. Mega-bits per second, or Mbps, is an international standard unit of measurement used to mea-sure total amounts of data downloaded. � e program aims to provide internet service up to a minimum of 5 Mbps.

In the summer of 2014 the Connecting Canadians program collected data to deter-mine areas in need of high-speed internet access then Industry Canada invited service providers to submit proposals for funding. � ere have been over 300 applications from service providers from every province and territory in Canada.

“� is is great news for the Kootenays and shows that the Government of Canada understands the importance of high-speed internet access for our communities and people.” David Wilks commented, “[� is] announcement demonstrates the Govern-ment’s commitment to delivering for rural Canadians.”

Unless you’d heard about it beforehand, you would never know how dangerous Japanese Knotweed is just by looking at it. It’s not spiky, it’s not menac-ing, and it’s not poisonous. It resembles bamboo but for its broad, heart-shaped leaves. It seems completely innocent; just another plant minding its own business, enjoying sun-light and all that good stu� . Nothing to see here, move along.

Much like Clark Kent, looks can be deceiving. Unlike Clark Kent, Japanese Knotweed is not a blessing in disguise — it’s an ecological terror, laying waste

to whatever stands in its way. � e plant can grow through concrete roadways and brick walls. It can take over fertile areas to the point of creating a monoculture — an area com-pletely made up only if its own species. It’s even been known to divert rivers. Not only that, it’s also extremely di� cult to get rid of. Ripping it out won’t work. Digging it out won’t work. � e plant has roots that can reach 20 meters horizon-tally and 3 meters deep. Even burning the plant doesn’t solve things; any tiny bit of knot-weed that remains can and will sprout into a new shoot. � ese reasons are why it’s ranked as #37 of the most invasive spe-cies worldwide.

Japanese Knotweed hasn’t stayed in Japan. Brought to England in 1850 and origi-nally discovered by an ex-plorer by the name of Philipp von Siebold, it quickly became popular for its pleasing looks and easy-to-grow nature. Now, it’s a national epidemic in Brit-ain; one that can destroy prop-erty values, cost thousands of dollars in legal fees, and even cause lenders to deny mort-gages. Without a single 15,000 hectare patch of land in all of Britain without the plant, such extreme reactions are under-standable.

Japanese Knotweed has spread across Canada, even to isolated places like Nakusp. � is Superman plant does have

a Kryptonite, but it is incred-ibly tedious to administer. � e plant must be dosed with a her-bicide, which is either injected into or sprayed onto every in-dividual stalk. If any stalks are missed, the plant can recover. In a best-case scenario, the in-festation will be gone within the season; more than likely though, it will take longer than that to completely eradicate.

Researchers have been delv-ing into the knotweed problem with three herbicide-free alter-natives having shown success; one using saltwater sprayed over the plants, one using a psyllid that feedsexclusively on the plant, and another using a leaf spot fungus.

While the trials have been promising, there remains much testing to be done — af-ter all, no one wants to intro-duce a new invasive species in an attempt to combat an old one. � ere are other avail-able options for containing the weed’s spread, but for the moment, nothing less than chemical warfare can truly kill Japan’s Godzilla of weeds.

� e village council is busy dra� ing up a plan to deal

with the plant on public prop-erty, as well as an awareness campaign for private prop-erty owners. Until then, keep an eye out for the plant, and make note of its location if you do spot one. With knowledge, vigilance, and persistence, we should be able to prevent Jap-anese Knotweed from gaining any more of a roothold in our neck of the woods than it has already. If it’s a horticultural Superman, consider us Lex Luthor.

As it approaches its 20th anniversary, Columbia Basin Trust is pleased to announce 2014/15 was an-other year of strong support to the area it serves in the Columbia Basin. Over the year the organization delivered nearly $22 million in programs and ser-vices to communities and residents,

$17 million in new loans to Basin businesses and earned revenues of over $29 million.

� e Trust works to strengthen the region’s so-cial, economic and environmental well-being. In 2014/15, activities included establishing a new re-source to support sports and physical activity, help-ing Junior Achievement expand into the Basin so youth can learn about entrepreneurship, renewing the Trust’s Social Strategic Plan and continuing to create a regional open-access broadband network.

� e main way the Trust supports these activities is by investing in power projects. All power projects performed well over the year, and brought in rev-enues of over $22 million (out of total revenues of $29 million). In spring 2015 Waneta Expansion be-gan operating, which will positively impact future revenues. � e Trust also invests in market securities (stocks and bonds) and local real estate, and pro-vides loans to Basin-based businesses.

“Because of the strong performance of our in-vestments, our revenues were higher than antici-pated, which means we were able to o� er more programs and services to Basin residents,” said Neil Muth, Columbia Basin Trust President and Chief Executive O� cer. “Moving into the future, we look forward to having even greater impact on well-be-ing in the region.”

A major emphasis over the year involved engag-ing with residents to ask what’s important to them and how the Trust should focus its e� orts. About 3,000 people provided input that will help the Trust make decisions, set priorities and manage how it provides programs and services to the region.

Read more about the Trust’s performance in its 2014/15 Annual Service Plan Report at cbt.org/an-nualreport. For stories and photos of some of the projects it has supported, look for the magazine Your Trust (formerly Report to Residents) in your mailbox this fall.

Columbia Basin Trust supports e� orts to deliver social, economic and environmental bene� ts to the residents of the Columbia Basin. To learn more about the Trust’s programs and initiatives, visit cbt.org or call 1.800.505.8998.

No one likes to think that an emergency such as a wild� re or earthquake will hap-pen. However, in the event that it does, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared both for one self and also for the family pets.

� e following is a useful guide for those concerned with taking precautions, prepared by Lorie Chortyk, general man-ager of community relations for the BC SPCA branches. Locally, we are served by

members of the non-pro� t group known as PALS who’s goals are similar especially when it comes to encouraging our animal guardians to refresh their emergency pet preparedness.

As we are well aware, wild� res can sud-denly break out in many of BC communi-ties during dry spells and this has caused evacuation orders and states of emergency prompting people to leave their homes or businesses, quickly and without delay.

“When you’re ordered to evacuate, you need to do it as soon as possible,” says Chortyk, “and pet owners don’t necessar-ily think about their pet in an emergency situation until it’s too late when you may not have the time or resources to suddenly gather up everything needed if you have to get out of your home straight away.”

When one is in a hurry, it’s easy to for-get feeding bowls, food, leashes, and other necessities, Chortyk continued, “that’s why it’s important to plan ahead and be prepared for any emergency. People love their pets but it o� en doesn’t sink in that an emergency can happen at any time.”

Having an emergency kit handy is key, as well as ensuring that your pet is already wearing a collar with up-to-date contact information. Keeping your pets inside the house so you don’t have to take valuable time to search for them, is also a good idea.

� e BC Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals’ mission is to enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in our province.

Next week’s column will focus on how to prepare an emergency kit for your pet.

Have you noticed the latest degradation of standards on TV news? In addition to sensational depictions of crime, ac-cidents and celebrities, the lineup now incorporates any non-sense that is momentarily “viral” on the Internet.

So it was with an online petition singling out Swiss food corporation Nestlé, which operates a water bottling plant near Hope. It’s the largest in B.C., one of many that bottle the province’s water and sell it back to a gullible public.

� is petition is courtesy of SumOfUs, one of those self-appointed environmental watchdogs that seem to pop up like mushrooms overnight. “Fighting for people over pro� ts,” they claim, pitching for donations.

� e story has what U.S. comedian Stephen Colbert calls “truthiness.” � at’s when something is false, but it “feels” true.

“Nestlé is about to suck B.C. dry — for $2.25 per million litres to be exact,” says the SumOfUs headline.

Using her keen sense of what’s super� cially popular, Pre-mier Christy Clark instantly called for a review of these low rates for selling the people’s water.

It then fell to Environment Minister Mary Polak to explain

what’s really going on.“People keep saying there’s a deal with Nestlé,” Polak told

reporters. “� ere isn’t. � ey pay the same as any other indus-trial user, in fact the highest industrial rate, and it goes for anything from hydraulic fracturing to bottled water, those involved in mining for example, any of those heavy indus-trial uses.”

And why is that rate so low? It’s because the province takes great pains not to “sell” water, which would make it a com-modity under trade agreements, like oil or minerals. � at would surrender provincial control, and allow the U.S. to press for equal access to Canadian water.

“You’re buying the right to use the water,” Polak said. “I know it sounds crazy to the public, but we call it a rental — a water rental. � ere’s a reason we use that language, because we are very careful to avoid any suggestion that by paying this amount, you therefore own that water.

“� at reserves for us the right at any time, for a compel-ling public need, to say stop. It doesn’t matter if you have a licence.”

As for the brazenly false claim that Nestlé is sucking B.C. dry, I’m indebted to a real environmental professional named Blair King for explaining this. (His blog, achemistinlangley.blogspot.ca, o� ers useful technical explanations of issues in the news, many of which contradict so-called environmen-

talists.)King notes that the bottling plant uses less than one per

cent of the � ow through Kawkawa Lake:“If Nestlé stopped operating (and put its 75 employees out

of work and stopped paying municipal taxes) would there be more water for the rest of us?” he writes.

“Absolutely not. Kawkawa Lake drains its excess water into the Fraser River, which drains into the Strait of Georgia. Neither the Fraser River at Hope nor the Strait of Georgia is particularly short of water, even in the driest of years.”

Clark made one useful contribution, when asked about this urgent non-issue by those seeking to further sensation-alize the current drought and forest � res.

She correctly noted that most B.C. residents have access to the best tap water in the world, and have no need for bottled water.

Nestlé, Perrier, Coke, Pepsi and other companies have done a fantastic job of convincing people that their drinking water has to be delivered in bottles from some mythical pure source.

Here’s a tip, Nestlé critics: Fill a jug with water and stick it in the fridge. Fight the corporations.

July 17, 1925 Within a week or so motorists from the Arm-

strong District will be able to run right through to Edgewood within four or five hours, by way of the Coldstream Valley, Lumby, Cherry Creek and Monashee. At Edgewood, cars can run on the boats making Nelson, Robson, Nakusp and all other points on the lake easily accessible.

A surprise party was given for Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Bill, Wednesday evening, on their 25th wedding anniversary. Mr and Mrs. Bill looked very quaint in the clothes they had worn to St. Peters’ Church, Dunbridge, Wells, England, on their wedding day.

July 18, 1935 The Board of Directors of the Arrow Lakes

Hospital decided to go ahead with a new wing to be built on the present hospital. Two thousand dollars has been promised by the government for this work, payment to be made in progress estimates.

Work on the Glenbank tennis courts was completed last week and play has commenced. There is no fee to play this year. Arrangements for a tournament are being made.

July 19, 1945 For five successive summers the women of

Nakusp have laboured over a hot stove making jam for Britain, each year exceeding the amount made the previous year, until last year the grand total of over a ton of jam was made. Only three centres n B.C. exceeded this amount.

July 14, 1955 The seven families who were evacuated from

their homes in Sandon when flood waters tore up its main street have returned to a scene of devastation. One family had waded through a flood of water to get out and all walked a trem-bling railroad trestle and forded highway wash-outs. Fourteen children made the trek to safety, one, only 18 months old.

July 15, 1965 L.R. Campbell, postmaster of New Denver,

retired after 18 years of service. He has been re-placed by Mrs. Lillie Berggren with Mrs. John Greenan as her assistant postmaster.

July 9, 1975 A memorial service was held on Sunday for

G. Ralph Islip who died at his home in Nakusp aged 93. He was a long time businessman in Na-kusp having come from Burton in 1914 after first settling in Burton in 1909 where he worked at Steven’s General Store.

July 17, 1985 A forest fire is out of control and being both-

ersome to Forest Service officials just four kilo-meters south of Burton on Highway 6. The fire rolled down the steep mountainside on Sunday night and was burning adjacent to the Highway on Monday. A pilot car was being used to shut-tle Highway traffic through the fire zone. In the Edgewood area, there are 67 men fighting seven fires with the aid of five cats and two tankers.

REGIONAL DISTRICT OF CENTRAL KOOTENAY NOTICE OF ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS

EDGEWOOD & AREA VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION SERVICE

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Board of Directors of the Regional District of Central Kootenay proposes to adopt “Edgewood and Area Volunteer Fire Department Financial Contribution Service Establishment Bylaw No. 2454, 2015” which would authorize the annual requisition of not more than $10,000 or $0.174/$1000 of net taxable value of land and improvements, whichever is greater. The purpose of this bylaw is to provide a financial contribution for the purpose of operating the volunteer fire department. Eligible voters within the Edgewood and Area service area are being asked by Alternative Approval Process on whether or not they are in favour of providing the annual financial contribution. BACKGROUND: The Edgewood Volunteer Department is a registered and fully incorporated society. The society operates two fire halls in the community. Volunteer fire fighters answer emergency calls 24 hours per day, seven days a week. Operating expenses for the society include: hydro electric power; response vehicle licensing, insurance; maintenance and fuel; training; and equipment. Currently, the society’s gear is outdated and needs to be replaced with equipment that meets regulations. TAX IMPLICATIONS: The fire department is requesting an annual grant-in-aid that would assist with these costs. This amount would not exceed $10,000 per year. Bylaw 2454 limits the taxation to an actual rate of $0.174/$1000 which converts to a residential rate of $0.166/$1000. Taxation on Residential Property at $0.166/$1,000 Property assessed at $100,000 $16.60 $250,000 $41.50 $400,000 $66.40 ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS: Under Section 86 of the Community Charter, approval of the electors within the Edgewood and Area Volunteer Fire Department Financial Contribution Service Area is being obtained by means of the Alternative Approval Process. Therefore, eligible electors within the service area opposed to the RDCK establishing this service may petition against the adoption of Bylaw No. 2454 by signing an Elector Response Form which may be obtained from the Regional District of Central Kootenay office. At least 10% of electors must petition against the proposal prior to the deadline date, which is at least 30 days after the last publication of a notice in the local paper, in order to prevent the Board from proceeding with the Bylaw without the assent of the electors. ELECTOR RESPONSE FORM: The Elector Response Form must be in the form established by the Board of Directors and is available from the offices of the Regional District of Central Kootenay during regular office hours or from the RDCK’s website at www.rdck.bc.ca WHO MAY SIGN THE ELECTOR RESPONSE FORM: Electors, either resident or owning property, within the boundaries of the Edgewood and Area Volunteer Fire Department Financial Contribution Service Area are the only persons entitled to sign the Elector Response Form. An elector is a person who meets the requirements and qualifications defined by the Local Government Act as described in detail on the Elector Response Form. The Board of Directors has resolved that a fair estimate of the total number of electors in the subject area is 290. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 86(1)(c) of the Community Charter, 29 or more electors must sign the Elector Response Form to prevent the Board from proceeding without the assent of the electors. DEADLINE: The Elector Response Form must be received by the undersigned before 4:30 p.m. on August 31, 2015. If you have any questions regarding this proposal or would like to request an Elector Response Form, please feel free to contact the undersigned. Information relating to this notice will also be available on the Regional District’s website at www.rdck.bc.ca under “Public Notices.” Anitra Winje, Corporate Officer Regional District of Central Kootenay Box 590, 202 Lakeside Drive, Nelson, BC V1L 5R4 Telephone: 250-352-6665 Toll Free: 1-800-268-7325 FAX: 250-352-9300 Email: [email protected]

The Nakusp and Area Community Trails Society had a work party on the Saddle mountain trail last week to repair recent damage. There were a lot of trees down on the way to the bridge, which stopped the workers frequently. They were able to � nish repairs to the bridge to 90 per cent but will go back a second time to complete the project.

Dugan McInnes, Kalen Jones and Cole Hawke (pictured bottom left to right) made their way to Kimberly last weekend by car and bus to participate in the 43rd annual July-Fest soccer tournament. The two-day tournament hosts over 60 teams from the U.S. and Canada in both competitive and recreation divisions. The three Nakusp youth joined the Fooz FC team and placed 8th in the tournament’s recreation division.

Once again two months of ballin’ boiled down to the Brew Jays and ITP battling out the � -nal game of the Nakusp Mixed Slo-pitch League. Facing o� for the second consecutive time in the championship match, the two heavy hitting squads swung their way through the seven team tournament bracket and found themselves toe to toe on July 13. � e Brew Jays arrived at the � nals coming o� a successful regular season and arrived hungry to redeem themselves a� er the late, 7th inning upset that snatched the championship away from them last year. ITP earned a � rst place � nish in the regular season

and enjoyed a � rst round buy in the playo� s, but there were no guarantees going into the � nal match.

“Every team won games and lost games this year,” league or-ganizer and ITP team member, Zac Wethal commented. “Every game right up to the � nal was up for grabs which made for some exciting ball this year.”

ITP got on the sticks � rst and managed to eek out a run in the top of the opening inning, but the Brew Jays quickly responded with three runs batted in at the bottom of the � rst. � e Brew Jays lead was short lived however, as ITP calmly exploited a gap in le� � eld and skillfully dropped two crucial hits on the fair side of the foul line which created time and

space for base runners to round the diamond. � e Brew Jays slipped behind, 6-3 by the end of the second inning and spent the rest of the game struggling to closeout ITP’s batting order and bridge the RBI gap. Slick pitching and quick plays by ITP � elders held the Brew Jays at bay, and the game was settled at 14-6 for ITP by the bottom of the seventh in-ning.

Teams are now preparing for the uninhibited festivities that will descend on the village of Na-kusp for the August Long So� ball tournament; however, Wethal is excited to announce that this year the tournament will not mark the end of the Nakusp ball season.

Nakusp resident, Darlene Dreidiger, earned a first place award for her professional peony arrangement in the first ever jur-ied peony show hosted in Castle-gar on June 26-28. Dreidiger’s ar-rangement was judged in the Best Artistic Floral Design category and was among 287 other entries for the show. Both amateur and professional growers were invited to participate in the competition and entries were submitted from across western Canada and the Pacific Northwest.

“I didn’t know anything about peonies before I was invited to at-tend by a member of the peony club,“ Dreidiger explained, “but now I am hooked. I have one pe-ony growing now, and I plan on getting more. Peonies are one of the few flowers that are deer re-sistant and that is what sold me, that and there are so many differ-ent types. So people can look for-ward to me having more peonies in the future.”

Dreidiger has been running her business, Green Acers Ven-tures, out of her home in Nakusp for the past three years and has had pictures of one of her ar-rangements printed in the bridal magazine Wedding Bells based in Calgary.

The peony show was hosted by the B.C./Yukon chapter of the Canadian Peony Society and was sponsored by Castlegar Garden Club and Castlegar Communi-ties in Bloom.

Carol Adelman, the director of the American Peony Society, spoke as the keynote during the opening luncheon and together with her husband, Jim Adelman, judged entries in a number of categories including the presti-gious Best in Show group. The Adelman’s have won numerous awards for their peonies, includ-ing Grand Champion in eight of the past twelve years at the

Falcons are predatory birds characterised by long, pointed wings and rapid flight. There are five members of the falcon family in BC. They range in size from the American Kestrel at about 25cm in length up to the Gyrfalcon at 55cm. The kestrel is the most widespread in B.C. In summer its diet shifts to insects, particularly grasshoppers. When such items are not available they are quite capable of taking small rodents and birds. Over much of its range, the Merlin is generally not as common as the kestrel but in Nakusp, it’s quite the opposite. Kes-trels prefer open habitat, something we have little of, whereas Merlins are quite at home in forested areas. Their diet consists largely of small birds, but I have also seen them eating large insects, particu-larly dragonflies. One of their favourite nest-sites is the abandoned nests of crows. Since crows are usually found near human habitation, Merlins have become quite at home in towns and cities. At about 30cm in length, the Merlin is a bit larger than the kestrel but still considerably smaller than a crow.

In the Nakusp area, there are two long-estab-lished resident pairs of Merlins; one that nests in or near the park in town and one at the golf course. Casual data also suggests pairs at McDonald Creek P. P., New Denver townsite, and the New Denver golf course. Most years, these resident pairs leave for the winter and return early in the spring, usually in mid to late March. Sometimes one can be seen in town throughout the winter, whether this is one of the resident pair, or another bird that spent the summer further north, is difficult to say.

The Nakusp park territory has been occupied since at least 1978. Obviously not by the same pair, but presumably by descendents of the original pair. There is an abundance of old crow’s nests in the park, so nesting opportunities are plentiful. During late March and April, when the pair begins to court and re-establish bonds, they are quite vocal. There are two common calls that you might hear if you walk past: a rapid kik-kik-kik-kik-kik-kik-kik and a slower keee keee keee keee keee, each note rising to-ward the end. The pair will raise two or three young which leave the nest in late June or early July. At this pont you might see four of five of them flying about. The young are very noisy during the first few

weeks as the parents desperately try to satisfy their ever hungry offspring! The young fly somewhat awkwardly at this time. In the development of the juvenile birds, flight feathers come in much sooner than tail feathers. Flight feathers enable them to fly, but short tail feather make steering and stability a bit of a problem.

Other falcons that occur in BC, are Peregrine Falcon, Prairie Falcon and Gyrfalcon. These species are much less common, although the Peregrine is quite regular in some locations along the coast. In the 40 years I have lived in this valley I have seen only one Gyrfalcon, two Peregrines and less than a dozen Prairie Falcons.

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Board of Directors of the Regional District of Central Kootenay proposes to adopt “Edgewood and Area Royal Canadian Legion Hall Financial Contribution Service Establishment Bylaw No. 2455, 2015” which would authorize the annual requisition of not more than $10,000 or $0.174/$1000 of net taxable value of land and improvements, whichever is greater. The purpose of this bylaw is to provide a financial contribution for the operation and maintenance of the community hall portion of the Royal Canadian Legion building in Edgewood. Eligible voters within the Edgewood and Area service area are being asked by Alternative Approval Process on whether or not they are in favour of providing the annual financial contribution. BACKGROUND: The Royal Canadian Legion Branch #203 has provided Edgewood and area residents with a community hall for several years. The community hall is well used and highly valued by the community. The Legion has subsidized operating costs of the hall as a service to the community. However, the Legion’s income is falling while operating expenses continue to rise. The Legion has explored alternative sources of funds to continue to operate the hall but has found none. TAX IMPLICATIONS: The Legion is requesting taxation to fund the costs to maintain and operate the community hall portion of the building. This amount would not exceed $10,000 per year. Bylaw 2455 limits the taxation to an actual rate of $0.174/$1000 which converts to a residential rate of $0.166/$1000. Taxation on Residential Property at $0.166/$1,000 Property assessed at $100,000 $16.60 $250,000 $41.50 $400,000 $66.40 ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS: Under Section 86 of the Community Charter, approval of the electors within the Edgewood and Area Royal Canadian Legion Hall Financial Contribution Service Area is being obtained by means of the Alternative Approval Process. Therefore, eligible electors within the service area opposed to the RDCK establishing this service may petition against the adoption of Bylaw No. 2455 by signing an Elector Response Form which may be obtained from the Regional District of Central Kootenay office. At least 10% of electors must petition against the proposal prior to the deadline date, which is at least 30 days after the last publication of a notice in the local paper, in order to prevent the Board from proceeding with the Bylaw without the assent of the electors. ELECTOR RESPONSE FORM: The Elector Response Form must be in the form established by the Board of Directors and is available from the offices of the Regional District of Central Kootenay during regular office hours or from the RDCK’s website at www.rdck.bc.ca WHO MAY SIGN THE ELECTOR RESPONSE FORM: Electors, either resident or owning property, within the boundaries of the “Edgewood and Area Royal Canadian Legion Hall Financial Contribution Service Area” are the only persons entitled to sign the Elector Response Form. An elector is a person who meets the requirements and qualifications defined by the Local Government Act as described in detail on the Elector Response Form. The Board of Directors has resolved that a fair estimate of the total number of electors in the subject area is 290. Accordingly, pursuant to Section 86(1)(c) of the Community Charter, 29 or more electors must sign the Elector Response Form to prevent the Board from proceeding without the assent of the electors. DEADLINE: The Elector Response Form must be received by the undersigned before 4:30 p.m. on August 31, 2015. If you have any questions regarding this proposal or would like to request an Elector Response Form, please feel free to contact the undersigned. Information relating to this notice will also be available on the Regional District’s website at www.rdck.bc.ca under “Public Notices.” Anitra Winje, Corporate Officer Regional District of Central Kootenay Box 590, 202 Lakeside Drive, Nelson, BC V1L 5R4 Telephone: 250-352-6665 Toll Free: 1-800-268-7325 FAX: 250-352-9300 Email: [email protected]

American Peony Society’s annual competition. Together, they own Adelman Peony Gardens in Brooks, Oregon. Judges of the artistic � oral design categories were Janice Ferraro of Castelgar and Doug Bradford, president of the Prairie Peony So-ciety.

� e event was also attended by MP Alex Atam-enenko, MLA Katrine Conroy, Castelgar mayor Lawrence Cherno� , Nelson mayor Deb Kozak and was listed as one of the stops on the Castelgar Gar-den Tour.

Originally billed as a “one time event” by the Ca-nadian Peony Society, the tremendous community support and generous sponsorship have encour-aged organizers to consider hosting the even again in the future.

“It was a lot of fun” Dreidiger shared, “it was a blast and now I am hooked on peonies.”

• Continued from page 9

• Continued from page 8Sighting “team interest and enthusiasm” as the driv-ing force the executive has decided to continue to play ball in Nakusp past “Aug-long” for the � rst time. Wethal is also looking to the future for ways to grow the sport in Nakusp and surrounding areas as well as address some of the concerns that were brought forward this season.

“Every year there is something people question about the league,” Wethal explained, “and the big one this year was trying to make the game more enjoyable for the girls. Two things I am looking at are switching balls back and forth during the games (women and men) or introducing a line in out� eld that � elders can’t pass until the girl batter hits the ball.” Wethal is also interested in piloting a local “one pitch tournament” a� er the August long weekend tournament and eventually a wooden bat tournament in Burton. Wethal recalls fond memo-ries of playing ball in Burton and would like to see the game and the � eld revitalized.

“� ey used to have a wicked tournament down there with up to 12 teams, hopefully we can breathe a bit of life into the � eld and organize a tournament down there in the future,” he said.

Wethal would like to thank all of the volunteers that helped make this season a successful one. “I ap-preciate the support I get from everyone, there is a general understanding that to make ball happen there is work involved and people have stepped up to help. Many hands make lighter work.”

Terrance “Paul” Guidon passed away suddenly on

June 19th at the age of 48 years.

Paul was born in Nakusp on September 27, 1966 and lived his

life in Nakusp, working in the bush and hauling logs until his shoulder condition didn’t allow him to work long hours anymore. Paul enjoyed outdoor activities which included hunting and fi shing and small time farming on his property. At one point he had 300 chickens, a few cows and pigs, and sold beef, pork and eggs to the community. He is survived by his loving wife Jan of 21 years, his children Hannah, Rebecca, Mikel and Hunter and his parents Larry and Coleen. A memorial service was held on June 27th at the Nakusp Arena Auditorium.

Terrance “Paul” Guidon

Th is community is amazing and we never realized how many lives our son, husband and father touched, until his death. Again, thank you to everyone who spoke to us personally and to those who spoke at the memorial in his honour. We appreciate your compassion and concern.

The Guidon family.
