Nakusp cougar threat neutralized by conservation officerSocial media has been buzzing for the last two weeks as

community members in the Nakusp area posted sightings and warnings about a cougar that had taken up residency in the area. � e neighborhood watch method of information

sharing helped keep residents safe as the aggressive cougar preyed on local cats, dogs and livestock.

Castelgar Conservation o� cer, Tobe Sprado also en-couraged the public to call the Report a Poacher Polluter (RAPP) Call Center to report any “human wildlife con� ict situations that they might � nd themselves in.”

On Aug. 1, RAPP received a report of two slaughtered

lambs in a rural area just south of the village of Nakusp, and Sprado arrived on site later that day. Using one of the lamb carcasses as bait, a foot hold trap was set to catch the cougar.

“Later that night a large adult female cougar was caught in the foot hold trap,” Sprado reported.

� e cougar was euthanized and removed from the area.

On August 6, the Nakusp RCMP executed a search warrant for a residence at a mobile home in Nakusp and subsequently made two arrests for property crime related o� ences.

� e 35 year old female Nakusp resident was released for the of-fence of possession of property obtained by crime.

� e 35 year old male Nakusp resident was released for the of-fence of possession of property obtained by crime and break and enter.

Area Commander, Jason Burndred, stated that the arrests for “break and enter stems from an investigation that started on July 25 in the Nakusp area.”

Charges have been laid and both individuals are slated to ap-pear in Nakusp Provincial court on October 29.

On July 30 concrete barriers appeared across sections of a trail that circumnavigates the village of Nakusp. The trail known as the wrap around trail and has been advertised in a 2003 brochure for the Nakusp Chamber of Commerce as a “four-season trail [that] circles the picturesque village of Nakusp providing a 5 kilometer circuit for strolling, dog walking, jog-ging or biking with portions also accessible to wheelchairs, rollerblades and baby carriages.” The trail was established in 1996 and has en-joyed almost 20 years of public use.

The barriers were abruptly put in place in response to a number of com-plaints the Village of Nakusp had been receiving regarding motorized use, and when the second incident of a near miss involving a child was report-ed, Mayor Karen Hamling had “no option but to put them up.”

“I understand that we didn’t give much notice,” Hamling commented regarding the public backlash to the unex-pected barriers, “but when it is a safety issue like that and the situation is escalating we had to do something. We have tried to talk to some of the kids who have been misbehav-ing and they won’t listen, and there have been near misses on the highways when the rid-ers are coming off the trail and onto the roads. If someone had gotten hurt during the time while we were putting out notices about the barriers, then there would have been a lot of unhappi-ness. Safety is paramount.”

The village has two bylaws on the books that prohibit motorized vehicles on the wrap-around trail; bylaws 242 and 466 restrict vehicle use to designated roads within the village. These by-laws were supported in 2008 when an 18-month community consultation as part of an Official Community Plan (OCP) resulted in the major-ity of the public expressing a desire for the trail to be primarily for pedestrian use. However, the mayor concedes that motorized vehicles have

been using the trail system in the past without incident.

“We have not enforced the bylaw because up until the last little while it has not become an issue. The village enforces bylaws by complaint and now it has become a safety issue,” Hamling said.

Groups of community members who are op-posed to the presence of the barriers have been very outspoken on the issue and have begun a petition to amend the bylaw and permit motor-ized vehicles on the wrap-around trail. Jacqui Cawthorn has headed up this public initiative after reading the public reactions on the Nakusp Communicator Facebook page.

“The general consensus was that a petition needed to be started, but no one was stepping forward,” Cawthorn explained, “so I began a petition on Change.org which has 244 support-ers. But the mayor is saying that she will not accept an online petition and that it has to be a paper copy. So we have brought the petition to several businesses around town and the deadline the village has given us is September 9.”

Cawthorn and her supporters are confident that they will get the required 10 per cent of community members to sign the petition; they plan to make a presentation at the next council meeting after the Sep-tember deadline.

“My goal,” Cawthorn clarifies, “is to try and find a solution that is going to work for everybody. I un-derstand that every user group has

their own issues with the trail, but hopefully we can get some input from the public on what they would like to see and try and make everybody happy. I feel it is important because we live in a village were this has been a way of life for many, many years. A lot of people use the trail to get to work, walk their dog, and ride their horses. The trail is used for a variety of purposes, but the only way to keep dirt bikes off the trail is to block it off to pretty much everybody, including people with strollers, people with horses [who] can no longer get through. People with bicycles have a tough time going through especially if they aren’t able to lift their bike over the bar-ricade. I just want everyone to be able to use it.”

Interior Health is seeing an increase in pertussis cases, also known as whooping cough, and would like to remind parents about the importance of making sure their chil-dren’s immunizations are up to date. Pertussis activity is being seen across the region with the majority of cases cur-rently in the Central Okanagan.

“Infants under one year of age are most at risk for seri-ous complications from pertussis,” said Dr. Kamran Gol-mohammadi, Medical Health O� cer with Interior Health. “Pertussis starts with similar symptoms to a common cold (runny nose, sore throat, and mild fever) and then pro-gresses to a cough. � e cough can become severe, with or without a classic whooping sound and may be accompa-nied by gasping, gagging, shortness of breathing and vom-iting. In serious cases it can lead to pneumonia, seizures, brain damage or even death.”

Immunization is the best way to prevent the spread of this disease. � e pertussis vaccine is part of the routine child-hood vaccinations that are given at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, and 18 months old, and again at age 4 to 6 years (before Kindergarten). A pertussis vaccine is also given to

teens at 14 to 16 years of age (Grade 9) in British Columbia.

“We are strongly advising all parents to ensure their children are immunized so they are not at risk,” adds Dr. Golmohammadi. “� e pertussis vaccine is very safe and ef-fective in preventing the spread of this disease.”

Parents are advised to check their child’s immuniza-tion record and make sure they are up to date. Information about accessing immunization records can be found at Im-munizeBC.

To discuss pertussis immunization for children or to book an appointment contact your local public health cen-tre. Adults who have not been immunized for pertussis can contact their local pharmacy to inquire about getting the vaccine.

Whooping cough on the increase

New ferry for Arrow ParkAs part of B.C.’s 10-year trans-

portation plan, B.C. on the Move, the renewal of the inland ferry fleet has been identified as a priority and new ferries are planned for Adams Lake, Glade, Harrop and Arrow Park.

The Arrow Park Cable Ferry sails across the junction of Upper and Lower Arrow Lakes at Arrow Park connecting recreation oppor-tunities as well as residential and business sites.

The current ferry at Arrow Park was built in 1949 and no longer meets Transport Canada standards.

The Ministry of Transportation has announced a call for qualified bidders and after five weeks of ap-plications the ministry will short-list up to the respondents for the

second stage, the Request for Pro-posals. It is expected that work on the new vessels will begin in 2016 and be ready for service by the end of 2018.

The total cost of all four ferries will be announced once a final pro-ponent is chosen and the formal procurement process is completed, the ministry said.

The ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure manages 14 in-land ferry routes throughout the province. Private contactors oper-ate the ferries and the routes cross interior lakes and rivers. Water-bridge Ferries Inc. operates the Ar-row Park Ferry.

Last year, B.C.’s inland ferries carried approximately 1.5 million vehicles and 2.2 million passengers.

We are strongly advising all parents to ensure their children are immunized

� is week’s column focuses on the growth and development of Nakusp and surrounding area from the year 1892. � is was when the area launched into an era of progressive construction including the birth of retail stores, a lumber mill and several hotels operating like the Leland Hotel located downtown and overlooking the waterfront.

Some fortunate members of the popu-lation were able to have their water supply piped directly into their private residenc-es; however, those who were unwilling to pay for the service remained reliant on tra-ditional sturdy buckets for that purpose.

� is was the time when modern com-

munications equipment began to arrive. It was in 1905 when the village installed a grounded system of � ve instruments in order to help keep locals in touch with one another. Huge orchards were planted in 1906 followed by new settlers who began to � lter into the valley in order to work in the thriving forestry and agricultural in-dustries.

It was in 1908 that the � rst cottage hos-pital was opened and sta� ed by resident Dr. Rossman, and Matron Kennedy. All seemed destined to remain on the road to growth and prosperity but as it turned out, this was not to be.

� e mill and also several of the area hotels caught � re and burned down. Along with the start of World War I the economic decline of the area began to set in. Mines closed down and the economy slowed primarily due to the success of the Okanagan valley orchards, which gained a pricing advantage over the local grow-ers. � e � rst Nakusp and area Agricultural

Fair which highlighted examples of fruit and vegetables grown in Nakusp, as well as baking and � oral displays, equipment and by-products used at the time, took place in 1910 and, other than during the war years, continued on until the present day.

� e � nal straw was to come in 1968. � is was when BC Hydro placed the Keen-leyside Dam in a location just outside of Castlegar. � e result was the � ooding out of many of the local farms and orchards. All-in-all, around 50 square miles of fertile valley bottom was lost and along with this, numerous communities and resource-rich homesteads sank underwater or had to be moved back or repositioned as a result of the raised lake level. It is a sad part in the history of this magni� cent community.

Information concerning the above his-torical notes was supplied courtesy of the Nakusp and District Chamber of Com-merce. � e local Visitor Centre, operated by the Chamber, is located in the building adjacent to the public library.

SENIORS’ COLUMN

� e � rst, and perhaps the only complete English-language debate in this long federal election campaign has helped de� ne the is-sues, and the non-issues.

I’m not going to try to tell you who “won” or “came out swinging,” because this is not a sporting event. If you’re paying attention in August, bless you, and you probably have a favourite already.

First, let’s deal with Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper’s diabolical scheme to extend the length of the formal election period. � is, according to national pundits, is an extension of his evil plot to attract more � -nancial supporters than the other parties, and spend the money. In other words, it’s a non-issue and any opponent who dwells on it looks like a whiner.

� is is the � rst election in modern Cana-dian history to follow a four-year schedule. National pundits spent months telling us

Harper was going to use a loophole in his own election law to call a spring vote before the economy tanked. Didn’t happen, and now the Conservatives are rightly under scrutiny about their economic management. Incumbent manipulation of election timing is over, and that’s good.

Scheduled elections by their nature cre-ate longer campaigns, as demonstrated in B.C. and the United States. So they should be conducted under formal campaign rules, which limit the noise of public sector unions and other special interests.

Another non-issue is the non-existent de� cit and recession that supposedly grips Canada. On actual results, there is a slim surplus, and if — a big if — Saudi Arabia continues to depress world oil prices, there may be a modest de� cit by next spring.

� e Bank of Canada’s recent move to de-value the dollar has already produced a re-bound in exports and tourism, which any government would appreciate. Have you tried to � nd parking at the mall lately?

Of particular interest to B.C. voters is the contest between NDP leader � omas Mul-cair and Green Party leader Elizabeth May. May used what may be her only national de-bate appearance to press Mulcair to oppose the TransMountain pipeline expansion proj-ect before hearings are complete.

Mindful of Adrian Dix’s disastrous 2013 decision to do the same in B.C., Mulcair in-sisted he would wait for the federal review, even though he considers it to be inadequate.

� is is, of course, all theatre. Based on their actions, the NDP, Green Party and Liberals are all opposed not just to oil pipe-lines but export gas pipelines as well. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau wants to cancel capi-tal cost allowances for lique� ed natural gas investment that have been granted by B.C. and Ottawa, which could be a deal-breaker for LNG.

B.C. NDP leader John Horgan formalized his opposition to the TransMountain expan-sion last week, in a letter � led with the Na-tional Energy Board. But we’re expected to

believe that Mulcair has a di� erent position, for now.

Harper was forced to admit that his long e� ort to persuade U.S. President Barack Obama to approve the Keystone XL pipeline has failed, and the project will have to wait until Obama leaves o� ce next year.

� e debate also con� rmed positions on Canada’s modest role in bombing Islamic State terrorist positions in Iraq and Syria. � e Conservatives are for it, and the Liber-als, NDP and Greens are against it.

Trudeau set the stage for the contest in Quebec, which B.C. voters can only watch from afar to see if it once again decides the shape of their federal government. Trudeau pushed Mulcair on his cynical bid to court the separatist voters who suddenly swung to Jack Layton’s NDP in 2011.

Like petroleum prices, it’s beyond our control.

• This Week in History •August 14, 1925 � e support, which has

been so freely given by the residents of Nakusp to it’s Fire Brigade, was more than justi-� ed in the early hours Tuesday morning. � e � re alarm hardly rung out its warning when down the street at full speed was seen coming the hose reel with some of its sturdy guard-ians. Connections were soon made with the hydrant at the rear of the Somers’ residence and a strong stream of water soon eliminated all the danger.

August 11, 1955 Mr. Harter of the Harter

Lumber Company of Spokane, Washington, recently pur-chased from Howell Jordan of Nakusp, 40 acres of the 80 acre section known as “� e Point” at Nakusp. Mr. Harter had purchased the lake frontage portion with a view to set up a pulp mill, stud mill, saw and

shingle mills. He had previ-ously purchased 16 timber lim-its at Pingston Creek and had hoped to acquire the timber at the back of these limits. Mr. Harter le� here to go to Victo-ria to try to get this timber be-hind that which he owned two days before the announcement of the granting of the Forest Management License to Cel-gar on July 21.

HALF-ACRE HAPPENINGSCrystal Larder

Overwhelmed by abundance, those three words describe how I’m feeling this week. Don’t get me wrong abundance is a good thing and I don’t mean to sound ungrateful, I’m referring to the abundance of crops ready simultaneously this year.

� e early heat wave in June seemed to catapult us straight into midsummer and everything is about three weeks early. So if you plan your holi-days around your garden like I did this year, you might be feeling the crunch too.

� ere’s now an urgency to my garlic harvesting which is normally a relaxing way to recover from the annual family camping trip. I’ve just been informed that the freestone peaches are in full swing and won’t last till the end of August when I

had planned on picking them up. � is causes me concern as I usually spend the � rst week when the kids go back to school canning peaches and toma-toes/ Now I’m going to have to squeeze it into the next week or two. � e plums and apples are in a race to begin falling from the trees and I’m trying my best to catch up in time.

It might sound a bit crazy to some people that these are the things that keep me up at night, but preserving the bounty that surrounds us is my labour of love. I look forward to these seasonal chores, they’ve become routine over the years. I guess I just hate to feel rushed through summer and the activities I usually savour...and that being said, I better get out to the garlic patch and “get ‘er done!” so I can move on to the peaches.

Donna Marko makes her markColoured pencils don’t exactly have

the most star-studded legacy in the world of art. Oils and acrylics have a succes-sion of famous names to their credit, but coloured pencils are perceived first and foremost as the things kids use to make blue bushes and red trees.

Donna Marko seeks to change that perception. Born and raised in Alberta, Donna moved to Nakusp to retire and fo-cus on her true passion — art. She’s done work of many kinds, including the afore-mentioned oils, but her favourite medium is coloured pencils on Stonehenge paper.

“A lot of people just seem to dismiss it at first,” she says. “They think that it’s just for kids. It doesn’t have such a rich history... it hasn’t been around nearly as long as the classical forms of art. I want to prove the potential that coloured pencils have.”

Anyone who sees her work, which is being displayed at Selkirk College until

Aug. 15, would be hard-pressed to deny that potential. Whether it be a tranquil landscape or a painstakingly detailed portrait, her art is almost as realistic as a photograph — but with a little extra ar-tistic oomph. The colours themselves are the stars of each piece, from the bright green of a tree frog highlighted against the nighttime jungle to the harsh whites and blues of winter snow. Whether they are vibrant, but not garish or subdued, but not dull, they bring the subject to life in a way that’s impossible to ignore.

Also impossible to ignore is Donna herself. Far from an aloof artist, she’s ea-ger to guide visitors around the exhibit — as well as her creative process.

“Sometimes I base them off of pictures I take; sometimes I just take an inspira-tion and run with it. I am inspired by so many different things, but especially by other artists. I look at another artist’s work and see how they do things, and that inspires me to make something of my own.”

Each piece can take anywhere from 20

to 40 hours to complete, depending on the complexity of the subject.

“I try not to spend too much time on one picture — I have so many ideas; if I keep working on the same thing for too long, I get distracted and start thinking of what other things I can do.”

Donna started creating art in earnest around 15 years ago, but found that work all too often got in the way. She affirms it’s never too late to start doing something you love; she’s wanted to be an artist ever since she was a child.

“The key is persistence. Persistence to keep with what inspires you, and persis-tence to finish what you start. Don’t give up.”

As for artistic conventions and in-grained traditions, Donna says, “When people tell you that you’re doing it wrong, that you can’t do this or can’t do that... sometimes you just have to let it go and do your own thing.”

Donna has certainly done her own thing. As it turns out, it was the right thing to do.

The Nakusp & District Museum held their annual Fundraiser Garage Sale on Saturday to raise money to help top up the employed students wages to enhance the minimum standard, and to pay for their mercks. Nakusp & District Museum chairperson and volunteer Sharon Montgomery said, “This is our only fundraiser of the year and we are really happy with the results. We raised $1016 which is enough to cover the costs that were needed. We are very grateful to the com-munity for all of the items that were donated to us to make the fund-raiser such a success.”

Nakusp goes MedievalCresting the hill

leading from the park-ing lot to the festival grounds was like walk-ing through a portal into another time and place. Like a reverse sunrise, the tops of the tents adorned with flags snapping in the breeze ushered the start of a visual unveiling of the sprawling field of medieval fanfare and excitement that drifted in and out of the rolling fields and far off into the distance.

More than 325 Soci-ety of Creative Anach-ronism (SCA) mem-bers set up camp on the festival grounds and over the course of two days shared their knowledge in all things medieval. Sun Lodge Farms field just outside of Nakusp along the Nakusp Hot Springs Road was an ideal venue for the medieval event.

Good natured, friendly and learned at a scholarly level, the members of the Society of Creative Anachro-nism (SCA) did more than stage exciting per-formances and demon-strations, they invited festival guests to be part of the world they recreated. There were lots of hands-on op-portunities for festival guests who were will-ing to engage with the learning experiences and the brave were re-warded with knowl-edge and inspiration.

SCA events take place almost every weekend throughout the year, but this event

was unique, being the first time the SCA has partnered with a local society and the first festival open to the public as traditionally SCA events are closed to the public save for the occasional isolated demonstration.

The festival and its success is largely attrib-uted to the joint efforts of local Nakusp Medi-eval Society member Daniel Abraham and SCA event chatelaine for the Principality of Tir Righ, Kimberly Stratford. Both were impressed with the success of the festival.

“I think it went pret-ty good. Everything that I have heard has been pretty good. The feedback I have gotten from the guest experi-ence has been really positive, so for a first year event, I am really happy” Abraham said.

“We really enjoyed our time in Nakusp,” Stratford commented, “and were thrilled by the welcome we re-ceived from the vil-lage.”

The conversation about a follow-up event has already begun with the SCA expressing in-terest in returning to Nakusp next year.

“The SCA wants to come back in much larger numbers,” Abra-ham explains, “but that is a lot of planning; I am looking forward to it, but it is a little bit intimidating; I think it is going to be much bigger and much better next year.”

The Nakusp Medi-eval Society is not a member of the SCA, and there is no SCA

group in the Nakusp area, but after the posi-tive community re-sponse in the aftermath of the festival, Abra-ham is hopeful that an SCA group will form locally.

“I know the num-bers are here to do it. What would be ideal is an SCA chapter or shire forming here in-dependently, and that would make the plan-ning progress easier because then we would have a local group to liaise with because my liaison was from Vic-toria and the market planner is from Kelow-na, so it has been a re-ally remote set of con-tacts that I have had to

work with. If the Na-kusp Medieval Society retains it presence on the planning side and we had a local chapter of SCA, that would be the ideal scenario.”

As for the result of the war for the un-claimed land of Na-kusp, the Principality of Tir Righ could not fend off the onslaught of the newly created Kingdom of Avacal. Calculated through the awarding of “war points” for the heavy battle, equestrian, youth armored com-bat, rapier and archery events, Avacal won four out of five. Tir Righ took the rapier point.

Ninety-fourth in an alphabetical series on West Kootenay/Boundary place names

Johnsons Landing presents us with an opportu-nity to address a vexing subject: the lack of apostro-phes in Canadian place names.

In British Columbia Place Names, G.P.V. and Hel-en Akrigg explain that in 1890 the United States set up its Board of Geographic Names, “charged with regularizing, recording, and making official the country’s geographic names. One of the arbitrary rules that the Americans set for themselves was that geographical names must not contain apostrophes. In 1897 the Geographic Board of Canada came into being and proceeded to make official for Canadian names the no-apostrophe rule.”

So while you’ll frequently see it written Johnson’s Landing — that’s the form used by the Johnson’s Landing Retreat Center and in Mandy Bath’s recent book Disaster in Paradise — officially, it’s Johnsons Landing, as though there was more than one John-son.

In fact, the Kootenay Lake community was named for just one man, Algot Johnson (1875-1963). In Where the Lardeau River Flows, Jim Mc-Nichol recalled: “Algot was a miner. He came from Sweden to Colorado and from Colorado … he came north in the gold rush about 1895 to Kaslo. He was fishing in a rowboat and got caught in a storm and stayed down at the mouth of Kootenay Joe Creek. While he was waiting for the storm he walked up and saw this beautiful flat. He started to save money to buy a piece.”

The earliest mention of Johnsons (or Johnson’s) Landing yet discovered is in The Kootenaian of April 27, 1911: “A gang of men went up Monday night to Johnson’s Landing to start work on the new government wagon road there.”

Algot Johnson is also mentioned as living there on the 1911 census, along with Robert McKinney.

However, The Kootenaian of May 4, 1911 referred to Johnson as “the pioneer Fry Creek rancher,” and the Nelson Daily News of April 30, 1912 and Jan. 9, 1913 also said he lived at Fry Creek — then regard-ed as a separate place. The Kootenaian of Oct. 16, 1913 reported Fry Creek would seek a post office, but it never opened.

The creek was named for pioneer prospector/trapper Richard (Dick) Fry (1838-98) and is first mentioned in a mining notice in the Ainsworth Hot Springs News of Oct. 31, 1891.

Johnsons Landing is one of few survivors of what used to be a long list of Kootenay Lake land-ing names. A couple of others in the same area were included on the 1911 census, but have since van-ished: McIntyre’s Landing, which became Birchdale

in 1926; and Gardner’s Landing, named for Walter James Gardner (1873-1938), who bought 200 acres sometime before 1909. It was an official steamer stop on the CPR timetable by 1913.

Algot Johnson died in Kaslo at 87. He never mar-ried.

His death registration reveals he was born in Karlstorp, a tiny town in southern Sweden, to John Frederick Gustafson and Johanna Christina Daniel-son (Swedish naming conventions saw sons incor-porate their father’s first names in their surnames).

The Johnsons Landing post office opened in 1917 and closed in 1970. Another Johnsons Landing ex-isted in the New Westminster area in the 1890s.

JERSEYThe Jersey townsite, about 11 km southeast of

Salmo, was born in 1947 when Canadian Explora-tion Ltd. examined lead-zinc showings on the claim of the same name.

The claim was staked before 1916 although the name’s origin is unknown. It could be after the is-land in the English Channel or any number of plac-es in the United States.

The Jersey was one of several ore bodies — the Emerald was the key one — that kept Canex hum-ming for more than 25 years, as recounted in Larry Jacobson’s Jewel of the Kootenays.

The Jersey townsite had over 120 homes, a school (Harold Lakes Elementary, named for the mine manager) and an Olympic-size swimming pool. The buildings and equipment were auctioned off in 1973 when the mine closed.

While the name is no longer in use, there is a Jersey Creek, and until 2007, the Telus phone book included the notation “Jersey – See Salmo.”

JUBILEE POINTThis spot on the west side of Duncan Lake’s up-

per arm was first mentioned in The Ledge of June 23, 1898 as a polling station — in the provincial election the following month, 35 people voted there.

It was the BC head office of the Gold Hills Exploration and Development Co. of Toronto, which owned 12 groups of claims in the Upper Duncan River country. The company’s presi-dent was James D. Edgar, speaker of the House of Commons from 1896-99. Other directors in-cluded Prince Edward Island premier Donald Farquharson and the Mohawk physician Oron-hyatekha.

The Nelson Tribune of Oct. 10, 1900 said: “At the head office on Jubilee Point the company has com-fortable buildings, including a complete assay outfit which is kept busy on specimens from the compa-ny’s many properties.”

Jubilee was the one of the company’s claims. Nothing was heard from them after 1901.
