A� er 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 Glo-ry lookout cabin. � e small cabin, perched picturesquely overlooking Nakusp, was originally constructed in 1923 and periodically manned by � re scouts who kept a watch-

ful vigil over the Arrow Lakes valley and surrounding area. With advancements in technology making � re lookouts obsolete, the cabin has been reinvented as a destination for hikers using the Saddleback Mountain trail. � e 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, clari� ed. “� e minis-try 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.”

A� er the Trails Society conducted a brief search for con-tractors who were willing to take on the renovation project, the proposed venture was passed o� to local professional car-penter Cory Phillipson who began collaborating with Koo-tenay-Boundary district Recreation o� cer, Justin Dexter.

What are Words Worth?

“Hell for leather”Meaning: At top speed.Origin: A horse that had been ridden fast used to be called ‘all of a lather’. Over time this got intensified to the more potent-sounding ‘hell for leather’.

Popular sayings - what they mean

and how they came to be.

Burglars broke into Home Hardware in Winlaw last Wednesday night, and owner Darren McCoy says the hunt-ing and sporting gear stolen is worth about $7500.

“They took camo hunting shirts jackets and pants, hunt-ing knives, walkie-talkies, cord-less phones, and ammunition,” McCoy said. And they attempt-ed to steal a 600-pound safe, moving it outside with a dolly and then abandoning it, dam-aged.

“It was a fairly sophisti-cated entry and they were on the scene for quite some time,” Constable Nick Herder of the

Slocan Lake RCMP told the Star, but he declined to elabo-rate until a forensics officer completes an investigation.

He said the burglars entered the store sometime after 2:30 a.m. when “the neighbours re-ported their dogs going cra-zy.” Employees discovered the break-in the next morning and are still carrying out an inven-tory of the losses.

McCoy said they also de-stroyed 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

RCMP forensics now.”Herder said the method of

entry is similar to that in a July 24 overnight burglary of the Winlaw post office. 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 suspi-cious vehicles and pedestrians that night, we really need their help with this,” Herder said. The Slocan Lake RCMP’s phone number is (250) 358-2222.

Imagine Canadian celebrity Rick Mercer saun-tering 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 commu-nity 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.

Kiara Lynch (right) and Mike Chapman (left), Kootenay Community Voter Challenge repre-sentatives, have invited the Regional District of Central Kootenay board to join the chal-lenge.

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 well-known restaurant located on Broadway Street, suffered a destruc-tive 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 ar-rest 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 Alber-ta, 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.

North end of Kootenay Lake, 4 kms west of Meadow Creek

View thousands of spawning kokanee, talk to biologists, learn about BearSmart, grizzlies, and the Nutrient Restoration Program in Kootenay Lake. A great free, family event!

Hosted by the Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program, and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO)

MCSC is open daily during the kokanee spawning season from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Please be aware that if there are high bear densities, the

Channel may be completely closed to the public, at any time, by FLNRO.

For more information call 250-354-6333

MEADOW CREEK SPAWNING CHANNEL OPEN HOUSE

Saturday Sept 12, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

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 Minis-try of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO), and primarily fund-ed by the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP). It is located about four kilometers west of Meadow Creek.

The open house provides a great op-portunity 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, BearS-mart, and the Nutrient Restoration Pro-gram 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 compen-sate for upstream spawning habitat lost due to the construction of Duncan Dam,

can accommodate several hundred thou-sand 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 du-ration of the spawning season that usually runs from late August through to late Sep-tember. With the congregating Kokanee, the channel attracts both black and griz-zly bears, and FLNRO may order a tem-porary 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 more information about the open house, and any possible temporary clo-sures, phone 250-354-6333.

RCMP busy with B&Es

Once the details of the project were agreed upon, Phillipson assembled a work crew including Steve Cain

and Bob Moody and char-tered Mark Homis of High-land Helicopters to transport the gear to the top of Saddle-back.

“He’s an amazing pilot” Phillipson praised. “Homis

can drop your gear within six inches of where you want it from a hundred feet up. Even with the wind blowing.”

Work was completed on August 24 and Old Glory is open for the public to en-

joy. Interior renovations for the cabin are slated for next spring and Phillipson projects “work is to be done hopefully by next summer, but it all de-pends on what money Dexter can make available.”

Work was completed and Old Glory is now open to the public• Continued from page 1

SENIORS’ COLUMN

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. � ey are located primarily within the Nakusp downtown area.

� e 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. � e overall purpose is focused on gathering and organizing

thousands of donated photographs, maps, books and indi-vidual documents which do much to stimulate our imagi-nation based on what life could have been like for resident pioneers around the year 1892

� is was the time when our region � rst 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, meet-ing places and various other public facilities which func-tioned actively at the time. Some of these business undertak-ings are still in existence today.

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 magni� cent 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. � e Archives is open and welcomes visitors on Tuesdays and � ursdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information go to alhs-ar-chives.com.

September 4, 1925At 2 a.m. September 2, Na-

kusp 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 con-nections were made and the hose run out and the water turned on the smoking build-ing. Half the town rushed down the street to the scene of the action, while the other half slept peacefully on, ig-norant that the town was in grave danger.

Fortunately, the Fire Bri-gade 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 fur-nace 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 un-limited 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 adjoin-ing 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 blan-kets were hung in front of the windows, which undoubtedly saved them.

September 5, 1935The Nakusp High School

has registered a total of 33 students this term, but it is believed the number will rise to between 35 and 40 when crops are in. There are eight students in Grade 12, six in

Grade 11, seven in Grade 10 and 12 students in Grade 9. The teacher is Blair Dickson.

Mr. and Mrs. A. Steenhoff were given an open reception party in their home by their children on the occasion of their 25th Wedding Anniver-sary.

September 6, 1945A total enrollment of 171

students in Nakusp was taken by six teachers. There are 31 in Miss M. Kirk’s Grade 1 and 2 class, 33 in Grade 2 and 3 under Miss Hazel Flint, 30 pupils in Grades 4 and 5 with Miss M. Clark, 28 students in Grades 6 and 7 under Miss B. White, 28 pupils in Grades 8 and 9 under Mr. L. Swigart and 21 pupils under Mrs. F. Tracey in Grades 10, 11 and 12.

September 1, 1955The first Girl Guide camp

held on Slocan Lake was most successful with 24 girls and

five leaders taking part. Elev-en of the girls and one leader came from Nelson district and 13 girls and two leaders from the Arrow Lakes. Two leaders were from the St. Cuthbert Sunday School Van.

September 2, 1965Nakusp Rotarians and

their wives numbered 11 when they attended the inau-guration of a new Rotary Club in Grand Forks last weekend.

September 3, 1975The Arrow Lakes Saddle

Club held its annual gymkha-na at the Whatshan Saddle Grounds on Saturday, Au-gust 23 and Sunday, August 24 with entries from Nakusp, Burton, Fauquier, Edgewood, Salmo, Castlegar, Nelson, Lumby, Vernon, Armstrong and Sorrento. Pee Wee rider David Walker, of Nakusp, aboard Merry Legs with a 10-point total brought back home the annual E & E High Point Trophy.

NOTICE OF CANCELLATION

Golfers may have recently noticed the man-made pit form-ing 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 ex-plained 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, thou-sands of people come here, golf, then go into town and spend their money,” Peterson added.

With the funding received from the RDCK and NACFOR Wil-liams 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 Wild-fire Service has lifted the summer-long fire ban due to cooler and wet-ter conditions in the forecast and a decreased wildfire risk in the re-gion. Campfires smaller than half-meter 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 ex-tinguish it. Never leave a campfire unattended and make sure ashes are completely cold to the touch be-fore leaving the area for any length of time.”

Small backyard burning piles (Category 2 open fires) remain pro-hibited within the Southeast Fire Centre. These prohibitions include; the burning of stubble or grass, fire-works, 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 by-laws and is serviced by a fire depart-ment. Please check with local gov-ernments 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 con-tributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.

There are two species of wax-wings in North America and both visit our area regularly. Waxwings are so-named be-cause 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 spe-cies are very similar in appear-ance, we rarely have any problem with identification since the two species visit our area at different times of the year. Cedar Wax-wings are summer birds. They usually arrive around the end of May and generally depart some-time 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 some-times engage in an unusual cour-ship 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 moun-tain 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 Bohe-mian 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 wax-wings 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 consid-erable variation in Bohemian Waxwing numbers. This is likely due to feeding conditions fur-ther north. If there is ample food closer to their northern breed-ing 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 occa-sion 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, an-other 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 sea-son they will form small flocks of perhaps two or three dozen. Any waxwings seen at the mo-ment, will be Cedar. Their breed-ing 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 is de-� ned as a group of people working together to help improve the community they live in. Our community is Nakusp. � e people who work together are you and me.

Starting this fall, the Na-kusp and Area Youth Soci-ety (NAYS) will start a new project and everyone is in-vited to participate. We want to contribute to the maturi-ty of a successful society by building, developing and fostering community spirit.

“To get results you don’t have, you have to do some-thing 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 com-munity taking positive ac-tion.

Jean-Francois Brodeur and Ty Klassen will meet with local and interested youth on Monday evenings to work on the projects cho-sen 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 oc-casional speaker. Learning will be interactive and en-gaging.

� e Youth Society still owns the green door lot, lo-cated across the road from the high school and is work-ing 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.

� e Community Spirit project will be multifaceted and interdisciplinary which will hopefully interest and engage a variety of individ-uals. Some of the current ideas are to paint murals on the old green door building. We can also use the space to grow food. � ere are oppor-tunities to use writing skills and make videos as well. � e possibilities are endless and will be directed by the youth who participate.

� e � rst meeting will be held on Monday, Sept. 21 at 7 p.m. at the Youth Center.
