B.C. marijuana decriminalization vote gets green light
Elections BC has given approval in principle to marijuana activist Dana Larsen’s bid to lead a petition drive for de-criminalizing marijuana possession.
Larsen has proposed that B.C. go around the federal law with a “Sen-sible Policing Act” that would disal-low the use of B.C. police resources to prosecute simple possession of
small amounts of pot by adults. This fall, Larsen will be allowed to begin collecting signatures in an effort to force an initiative vote similar to that used to reverse the harmonized sales tax.
Individuals and groups have until Aug. 12 to register with Elections BC to oppose the initiative, run ads for or against the petition or collect signatures.
Larsen, who was involved with the B.C. Marijuana Party before
seeking the leadership of the B.C. NDP in 2011, has worked for the last year to build support for what he calls Sensible BC. His organization will have 90 days from Sept. 9 to collect signatures from 10 per cent of registered provincial voters in each of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts.
If that threshold is reached, Elec-tions BC would hold a province-wide initiative vote, likely by mail as was done to repeal the HST.
Decriminalizing pot has received
mainstream support in recent years, including a narrow majority vote at the 2012 Union of B.C. Municipal-ities convention.

Lemon Creek opens pit houses to public for third year
For the third year in a row, archaeologists from Hamilton College in upstate New York have invited the public to come learn more about the people who used to spend their winters in the Slocan Valley thousands of years ago.
Professors and organizers Nathan Goo-dale and Alissa Nauman have been opening up their findings to public tours since 2011. In their first year, 150 curious people came to see what was happening, and the number of visitors doubled for their second year.
This year, their third, started at 11 a.m. with a dozen people ready to learn more about the settlement by the creek. On the tour side of the Slocan narrows there are nine pit houses, but there are 23 that have been found on the other side, suggesting a large number of people lived in the Slocan Valley in the past.
The pit houses at Lemon Creek are the last evidence of a big First Nations village, with any others now under water due to the dam-ming of the river.
Following pin flags to the first site, the group was greeted by two students who explained that the large depression in the ground that they were standing in was an old
pit house site. Around 3,100 years ago, pit houses were
dug into the ground and the homes then cov-ered with branches. At the first site, two stu-dents said the building, a large commu-nal one, would have had a ceiling about 15 metres in height and would have housed around 50 to 75 people.

Alien invaders, bobbing water levels and more at July 8 Nakusp council
Jenifer Vogel and Crystal Klem from Central Kootenay Invasive Plant Committee gave a presentation about the recent Scotch Broom Bash in Nakusp. There were 79 students, and in three hours they accom-plished what it would have taken three to four days for two people to do.
Vogel said community members have said they would like a commu-nity event, and she said the Com-mittee would like to have Village involved, perhaps by allowing a bar-beque on Village land.
Cell coverage at ferries
The Business Retention and Expansion group has sent letters to Telus about getting cell phone cov-erage at the ferries, coun. Ulli Muel-ler told council. She added if it was appropriate to take it to UBCM. Mayor Karen Hamling suggested referring the issue back to staff, and commented that it might be more efficient to look at a bunch of issues being raised, get reports and work on them in a less ad hoc manner.
Interface fireIn the Mayor’s report, Hamling
brought up the issue of interface fire management, something that munic-ipalities all over the province are dealing with.
Something we’re going to be fac-ing in the future as a community is the interface fire issue, said Ham-ling, who stated in her report to council that the interface fire prop-erty risk is $232 million for Nakusp. Municipal funding under the Com-munity Wildfire Prevention
Program Strategic Plan will cover up to two km outside our borders, her report said. The bigger issue is regional district coverage, and one funding idea raised at the RDCK meeting was a taxation model, the report said, which would be $0.89/$100,000 residential. Another suggestion was that a loss of timber study be carried out and to look to insurance companies to contribute to the prevention program.
CRT reportThe Columbia River Treaty Local
Government report has been given out to different regional district
directors to review and will come to council tables in the fall.
Bobbing water levels
BC Hydro water levels forecast are not to reach new highs this year, as Hydro believes most of the snow-cap has already melted.
A water storage agreement with the U.S. means that water won’t be as low as previously forecast. Due to fluctuations in forecast levels, July 27 is the new date for launch of the new ferry, instead of the previously forecast mid-August, said Hamling. Waterbridge Steel is working hard to get ready for new high water date.
Wood worksCoun. Tom Zeleznik reported
that prices for wood are down at the moment. NACFOR also has an abundance of firewood for sale at the moment, and is taking part in a worker training initiative assessing opportunities for training.
Zeleznik also told council that Dan Wiebe and David Dubois have started a study to see the feasibility of using biomass heating at the Alli-ance Church.
Coming along swimmingly
Coun. Joseph Hughes said the swimming program is coming along well. A couple of instructors were able to come from Nelson and teach. The Rec. Commission will be look-ing into creating a coordinator posi-tion so that more programs can be offered in the summer.
Biomass infoCAO Linda Tynan told coun-
cil that Wood Waste 2 Rural Heat’s David Dubois offered to do an anal-ysis of the Village’s buildings to see whether it’s worth converting to bio-mass heating. Dubois really encour-ages the Village to do this step, and then it would come back to council.
The next step after that would be looking for funding opportunities once a business plan was developed. The mayor asked if getting this info wouldn’t take an enormous amount of time. The CAO responded that it wouldn’t and that it would be good information for the Village to have.
“There’s a lot of interest in this,” said Tynan, who mentioned that the
engineer working with the Village at the moment is interested in working on these kinds of projects and has worked on similar projects up north.
Annual ReportThe Village of Nakusp’s annual
report was presented. The report has been ready for a couple of weeks, and there were advertisements invit-ing written comments or queries from the public. There have been none, and were no questions from the public at the council meeting.
“Each year we’re trying to make it more of a living document includ-ing more useful information,” said Tynan. “They’re quite good commu-nity information.”
Physical copies are available on demand at the office, and the report is available on the Village website.
UBCM politickingDiscussion about requesting
meetings with ministers and the pre-mier at the upcoming UBCM came up. It was noted by the CAO that meeting with the premier had been useful for speeding bureaucratic processes along.
Tynan said it was helpful to men-tion that the premier told the Vil-lage to get a hold of her when there were hold ups. When the Village was working with the paperwork surrounding the wharf, mentioning meeting with premier helped pro-cess along, she said.
Flail financingThe new flail mower will cost
more than $15,000 than the amount budgeted for the equipment, and the money will come from the equip-ment pool. Only one proposal was received in response to the request for proposal.
Coun. Guy Duchaine asked if there would be an issue with fitting the flail to existing equipment. CFO Rob Richards replied that he was under the impression that the brack-ets were a universal size. Coun. Zeleznik said that generally brackets are included in the price, and asked if the price included delivery. CFO said yes it was.
Arena repairs, continued
According to CAO Tynan, the compressors were tested Thursday the week before council, and two
were found to be in not bad shape, just needing a cleaning out. The third looks like it needs to be cleaned out and can be used, although more examination is being done. At this moment it looks like none of the three will need to be replaced, she said. The ice plants are still on schedule with $136,000 for this year and are in the final design phase.
Building envelope is coming in, said the CAO.
“What I’m learning is we haven’t had full information and we’re get-ting more information, so we’re tak-ing it very carefully,” she said. What has been learned so far is that a large part of the arena roof does not leak, and the area at the front can be patched. Venting is definitely a con-cern, as well.
There are three options, detailed the CAO: do the roofing job, which would be bigger than projected; put a membrane on, which would take up all the budgeted money and that could have just a 10-year lifespan; or patching. If the Village decided to take on a large infrastructure project, there could be grant funding avail-able in the future. At the moment staff is exploring patching and not more structural work. It seems like a better idea to do a minimal amount now and wait for some funding, said the CAO.
When asked if the original engi-neering firm should have to cover any subsequent engineering required to address issues, the CAO answered that, theoretically, that is correct.
We are looking into the obliga-tions of original engineer, she said, and the current engineering firm is aware they may be called on to ver-ify it should be done differently if necessary.
Hydro communications need change
A late item was introduced about sending a letter to BC Hydro about getting better communication about scheduled power outages. There needs to be a better way to commu-nicate, and the outage could have been done at a better time, said mayor Hamling. “It affected a lot of businesses, she said.
Coun. Zeleznik commented that both the pole yard and Box Lake Lumber were shut down for the day.
Coun. Duchaine said the change of time of the outage also threw peo-ple and didn’t give them enough time to react.
“Maybe they need to pay a lit-tle bit of overtime and get the work done before businesses open,” said Hamling.
Messy recycling concerns
A letter from a local resident about the recycling bins location and unsightliness was forwarded on to the RDCK
Coun. Zeleznik asked why the recycling can’t be located at the gar-bage dump.
Mayor Hamling said the recy-cling bins had been put where they are because lots of seniors can’t drive. If there is not easy access, she said, there could be more dumping all over the place.
Coun. Mueller suggested the Vil-lage needs a camera there.
Coun. Hughes said he’s hate to see a camera but if people won’t respect signs it might need to be done. He said he believed the loca-tion was good, and said an area near the dump for working and useful items that could be used by someone else would be good.
Mayor Hamling commented that there is a shed up by the landfill for working items where people can drop off and pick up working used items
Coun. Duchaine said a cam-era needs manpower to back it up, and wasn’t the answer. The RDCK needs to be responsible, he said.
Fosthall Creek power?
Coun. Zeleznik said it would be nice to get both sides in room and get some answers, some way to get this solved.
“The community’s suffering and we need to do something,” he said, suggesting to invite both parties to work something out.
There was a motion to sched-ule a meeting with council, Darcy Fear and BC Hydro to discuss the Village’s interest to get power to Nakusp.

A world-wide comparison of atheism
I have no idea what percentage of atheists would like to see a complete absence of religion. I know that I am not one of them. There is no doubt in my mind that the religious community provides a great deal of comfort for the grief-stricken, no matter what the reason for their grief may be.
Quite recently I read an essay by Nigel Barber, an evolutionary psy-chologist, whose thesis is that the reli-giosity of a country is in direct pro-portion to the dysfunctionality of its society, in other words the more dys-functional the society, the more reli-gious it is. Dysfunctionality is mea-sured in well-defined ways such as income inequality, levels of educa-tion , healthcare and child mortality, including neonatal mortality.
The levels of atheism vary greatly as one moves around the globe says Barber. Sweden has 64 per cent, Den-mark 48 per cent,France, Germany and Britain 43 per cent, and sub-Saha-ran Africa, not surprisingly, is less than 1 per cent. According to Barber, there are perfectly valid reasons for these huge discrepancies in the per-centages of non-believers. The leaner the social infrastructure of a country, the more its inhabitants are inclined to find relief and solace in religion. Conversely in modern societies, when people experience physical or psycho-logical difficulties they turn to a med-
ically qualified individual; they pre-fer the real psychotropic medicines dished out by physicians to the met-aphorical opiates offered by religion.
Barber writes that the reasons that churches lose ground in developed countries can be summarized in mar-ket terms. With government safety nets and smaller families there is less fear and uncertainty in people and hence less of a market for religion. Canada has a healthy proportion of non-believers, which will ensure that it remains a secular society for many years to come.
The Clergy Project was started to answer a need for pastors, ministers and priests who no longer believe in God. It was founded as an online com-munity safe house in the Spring of 2011 and its membership at last count is slightly more than 440. Anonymity is guaranteed until a member indicates that he or she is ready to go public.
Although many of the members have already resigned from their churches, several are still minister-ing to their congregations. This has provoked Albert Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Seminary, to criticize the project as a “haven for cowards and charlatans” - decidedly unChristian language for someone so prominent in his chosen field of for-giveness and understanding. What-ever happened to the old adage “hate the sin but love the sinner”?Perhaps Southern Baptists are different!
I would consider myself very remiss had I not brought this escape route/safe house to the attention of all Christian incumbents within the Arrow Lakes News reading area. It is not impossible that someone will experience a crisis of faith at some point and will be very thankful that such an organisation exists.
A cogent quotation from Vol-taire: “Men will only stop committing atrocities when they stop believing in absurdities.”
Kootenay jobs at risk as minister signs secret export deal
A secret 10-year deal signed by forest minister Steve Thomson could have significant implica-tions on B.C.’s pulp mills, includ-ing Celgar, says New Democrat MLA Katrine Conroy.
“We know that mills are hav-ing to pay more to get fibre, and we know that as the timber sup-ply problem gets worse, it’s only going to get harder for mills to get chips,” said Conroy, the MLA for Kootenay-West. “Yet the min-ister signed a sweetheart deal just before the election that locks a significant amount of wood chips in for export for 10 years.
“This puts jobs in B.C. – including here in the Kootenays – at risk.”
On Jan. 30, without fanfare or even a press release, Thomson signed an Order in Council grant-
ing a 10-year export permit for 300,000 bone-dry units (slightly more than 300,000 tonnes) of wood chips. It wasn’t until mid-March that the Chip Export Advi-sory Committee consumers’ sub-committee learned of the order, which was handled outside of normal procedures.
The order also appears to vio-late the Forest Act, which says that chips can only be exported if they’re surplus to B.C.’s needs. Pulp mills and bio-energy com-panies are regularly in the market for fibre.
Conroy and New Demo-crat forest critic Norm Macdon-ald raised the issue in the legis-lature Thursday. Thomson made the outrageous assertion that chip consumers had been given the chance to sign off on the deal.
Merl Fichtner, chair of the sub-committee, said in an April 19
letter to Thomson that the length of the deal was the biggest area of concern. He said with a loom-ing timber shortage, it’s “impos-sible to determine today that a volume of chips will be surplus to the requirements of facilities in British Columbia over the next 10 years.”
“This is a terrible deal for B.C. workers,” said Conroy. “Public resources like our forests should be there to create jobs for British Columbians, but the Liberals are content to give them away.”
“It’s the government’s respon-sibility to ensure we get the most value possible out of our resources,” added Macdonald, “but the Liberals are content to ship B.C. jobs offshore. I’m guessing the minister wanted to keep this deal secret because it’s embarrassing just how bad a deal this is for British Columbia.”

mONsTER’s uNiVERsiTy
Minister’s CRT comments raise concerns for First NationsOkanagan Nation Terri-
tory/Westbank, British Colum-bia: Recent comments by Minis-ter Bill Bennett in the Vancouver Sun about the future of the Colum-bia River Treaty have raised seri-ous red-flags for the Okanagan Nation Alliance (ONA). Amongst other things, Minister Bennett suggested the Treaty should con-tinue into the future, essentially in the same form it has been to date, stating that “the treaty has been a huge success.”
The Columbia River Treaty has had devastating effects on Aborig-inal Title and Rights, including
throughout the Arrow Lakes area which is vitally important to the ONA.
These include flooding of tra-ditional lands and village sites, massive interference with cultural heritage resources and severe impacts on hunting, fishing and gathering rights. The Treaty was signed and ratified in 1963 with no First Nations engagement, involvement, or consent.
“The Treaty has disrupted our way of life in ways that very few other things have. When the Prov-ince came to us last year to dis-cuss potential renewal of the Treaty we made it clear how seri-ous any decisions about the Treaty
are and that the highest levels of engagement with us must occur,” said Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Okanagan Nation Alliance. “While we have been trying to follow a general path for discus-sions with the Province and Can-ada, the statements of Minister Bennett, as well as indications we are getting from others, suggest that the Crown is moving to min-imize our involvement and con-cerns and push ahead with its own status quo agenda,” he added.
Some years ago Minister Ben-nett clearly understood some of the depths and complexities of the Treaty. As he stated in 2003 “So 2,300 people were displaced
and 60,000 hectares of high-value valley bottom land were flooded. Numerous First Nations archeo-logical and burial sites were sub-merged or buried.” That reality has not changed.
“The Crown should not have comfort that they are going to be able to push ahead with their agenda for the future of the Treaty without substantially addressing in concrete ways the relationship between First Nations and the Treaty,” said Grand Chief Phillip. “I encourage Minister Bennett to recognize that the future course of the Treaty - whether termination, renewal, or amendment - must be set with us,” he added.
The ONA was formed in 1981 as the inaugural First Nations government in the Okanagan which represents the eight mem-ber communities: Okanagan Indian Band, Upper Nicola Band, Westbank First Nation, Pentic-ton Indian Band, Osoyoos Indian Band, Lower Similkameen Indian, Band Upper Similkameen Indian Band and the Colville Confeder-ated Tribes on issues of common concern. Each community is rep-resented by their Chief or Chair through the ONA Chiefs Execu-tive Council (CEC).

State of the world’s birds is bleak but not hopeless
We can’t live without birds. Beyond being fascinating and beautiful, they play a crucial role in keeping the world habitable for all life, including people. They disperse seeds, pollinate plants, control insects, provide food and are indicators of the overall health of ecosystems. They also create recreational and economic oppor-tunities, through the immense popularity of birdwatching.
So we should be concerned about the findings of the report, “State of the world’s birds: indi-cators for our changing world”: One in eight – or 1,313 – species of Earth’s birds is in danger of disappearing.
“The status of the world’s birds is deteriorating, with species slip-
ping ever faster towards extinc-tion,” notes the assessment by Birdlife International, a global partnership of conservation orga-nizations. This represents rapid acceleration of a troubling trend: 151 bird species are believed to have gone extinct since 1500.
But the study, released at Bird-life International’s 2013 Con-gress in Ottawa, offers hope: “An annual investment of US$4 bil-lion, used wisely, could improve the status of all known threat-ened species and virtually halt human-driven extinctions. A fur-ther US$76 billion could effec-tively protect and manage all known sites of global conserva-tion significance. These sums are insignificant in comparison with both the size of the global econ-omy (roughly US$70 trillion per year) and an estimate of the total value of ecosystem services deliv-ered by nature each year (US$22–US$74 trillion).”
Many threatened birds are common species, including turtle doves, meadowlarks, barn swal-lows and purple martins. In Can-ada, insectivores, grassland birds and Arctic shorebirds have been declining rapidly since 1970,
all because of human activity. But conservation efforts, includ-ing regulating pesticides such as DDT, have helped some rap-tor and waterfowl populations bounce back.
Sadly, we’re to blame for the current plight of birds. The report shows industrial-scale agricul-ture, logging and invasive spe-cies are the gravest immediate dangers. It also concludes cli-mate change is an “emerging and increasingly serious threat to species” and “often exacer-bates existing threats.” Among other problems, a warming planet changes migration and nesting schedules, hindering birds’ ability to find insects to eat. It also dam-ages habitat.
One solution for safeguard-ing bird populations is to ensure habitats critical to their survival – known as Important Bird Areas, or IBAs – are protected, through legislation if necessary. That doesn’t mean shutting out human activity, just managing these areas in ways that allow birds to survive and thrive.
As the report shows, investing in conservation comes with ben-efits beyond helping birds. The
more than 12,000 IBAs identified worldwide offer valuable ecosys-tem services, such as regulating climate and air quality, purify-ing water and preventing floods, maintaining genetic diversity, providing food and medicines and creating recreation and tourism opportunities.
Education is another compo-nent of protecting birds and all threatened plants and animals. As we better understand our connec-tion to nature, the importance of biodiversity and the value of ser-vices healthy ecosystems provide, we’ll make conservation and bio-diversity higher priorities in our decision-making, which will lead to wiser development.
While the BirdLife study iden-tifies climate change as a major threat, it also notes the challenge in balancing environmental fac-tors in energy-project develop-ment. Critics oppose wind power because of potential harm to birds, but bird deaths from wind-mills are minimal compared to those caused by fossil fuels, cli-mate change, pesticides, highrise buildings, automobile collisions and house cats.
A National University of Sin-
gapore study shows fossil fuel power generation kills 17 times as many birds per gigawatt-hour of electricity as wind power. And wind farm problems can be overcome with proper siting and improved design.
In the Rift Valley/Red Sea flyway, an important area for birds migrating between Eurasia and Africa, BirdLife developed research materials and a web-based tool to map flight patterns and identify places where wind installations should be avoided to keep birds safer.
Plummeting bird populations reflect the state of the global envi-ronment – but it’s not too late to do something. As Leon Ben-nun, BirdLife’s director of sci-ence, information and policy, says, “Effective nature conserva-tion is affordable and it works. It’s time to make it happen. The result will be a world that is in every way wealthier and health-ier – and that remains diverse and beautiful too.”
We need birds. Let’s do all we can to avert an extinction catas-trophe.

Fishing, golfing and fun had in the summer sunThis summer was the four-
teenth year for the Family Fish-ing Weekend that encourages families to get out on the water and spend some quality time with rods, reels, lines and each other.
“The weather was great, fun was had by all,” said organizer Cheryl Black. “Plenty of fish [were] caught ranging from 1.14 - 10.5 lbs.”
The event was sponsored by Ministry of Fisheries as well as local business Cheryl Black Cold-
well Banker Rosling Real Estate.Black was also busy with the
third annual Golf Fore the Cure held on June 23. The charity tee-off raised $1,370 that will support Breast Cancer research. Nakusp Golf Course Manager Kalum Ste-vens supported the event by wear-ing pink. Black gave thanks to all the local businesses who donated fabulous prizes.
It was a scorcher, but the ladies were undeterred: the Nakusp Ladies Open was held on July 3, 2013.
“It was a hot day for golf but
44 ladies took to the challenge,” said Cheryl Black. “Just about everyone walked away with prizes donated by our local ladies group, the club house, Charlie Granewall, Burt Drysdale, Rus-sell Hopp, Elaine Rogers, Cheryl Black, Coldwell Banker Rosling Real Estate and our main sponsor Overwaitea Foods.”
Linda Henke walked away with the Low Gross award with a 78, and Low Net went to Castle-gars Myrna Boulne with a 66.

There’s music in the air: some summer festivals
It’s festival season again, and here
are a few near and further afield you may want to take time to check out.
Starbelly Jam
The Starbelly Jam was born 14 years ago out of the minds of a group of residents of Craw-ford Bay, located on Kootenay Lake off Highway 3A between Nelson and Creston. The 2013 lineup features Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars, an afro-beat band formed in refugee camps during Sierra Leone’s civil war; Blue King Brown, an urban roots eight-piece from Australia, hip hop artist Aesop Rock, indie-folk singer Kimya Dawson and more. Beyond the music, the festival features kids shows, workshops and more. It takes place from July 19–21. Tickets are available at starbellyjam.org.
Unity FestivalThe legendary Alpha YaYa
Diallo is coming to Winlaw this year, and so much more during its July 27-28 stretch. For the early birds, Adham Shaikh and three DJs will be playing an all-ages show on Friday, July 26 at the Slocan Legion. Head south, peo-ple!
Kaslo JazzEvery August long weekend,
Kaslo becomes home to a variety of jazz, world, blues, roots and rock bands. Held on the shores of Kootenay Lake, the family-friendly festival will feature 14 bands over Aug. 2-4. This year’s headliners include Delhi 2 Dub-lin, Tiempo Libre, the African Showboyz and the Mickey Hart Band. Find out more at www.kaslojazzfest.com.
Wapiti Fernie’s Music Festival, has
‘Fresh Canadian Indie music’ declares their website. This year’s lineup includes the Good Ol’ Goats, Shred Kelly, and Portage
and Main, and Plants and Ani-mals and much more. If you like music, folk, rock, etcetera, you’ll probably like Wapiti. The festival takes place Aug. 9-10, and you will need to figure out a place to stay because there’s no camping in town, yet. And Wapiti means Elk, fyi.
ShambhalaShambhala is a major elec-
tronic music festival held on a 500-acre ranch on the Salmo River every August. Launched in 1998, it is one of the larg-est and longest-running festivals of its type in Canada, attracting about 10,000 revelers and 2,000 workers and volunteers over the course of four days. The festi-val features six different stages, each with their own themes: the Living Room, the Rock Pit, the Fractal Forest, the Village, the Labyrinth, and the Pagoda. It has hosted many of the top elec-tronic DJs from around the world, including Skrillex, Bonobo, Mat the Alien and Bassnectar. The fes-tival takes place from Aug. 9–12. Tickets are $310 and can be pur-chased through the festival’s web-site, www.shambhalamusicfesti-val.com.
Salmon Arm Roots and BluesWith six stages spread over 18
acres, the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival is one of the big-gest in the B.C. Interior. The fes-tival features folk, blues, roots, world, alternative, rock, electron-ica and other types of music, as well as food vendors, an artisan market, beer gardens, workshops, a children’s area and camp-ing. This year the festival fea-tures Bruce Cockburn, City and Colour, Daniel Lanois, A Tribe
Called Red and many more. It takes place from Aug. 16–18. Tickets start at $155 for adults and are available at www.root-sandblues.ca.
Golden Sound Located between Golden and
Invermere, the festival is one long day that features folk, funk, rock and just lots of opportunity for dancing fun with The Dudes, Kytami, Five Alarm Funk, Will-horse and a whole lot more. The music starts at noon on Septem-ber 7 that runs until 4 a.m. Bring your travel coffee cup.
The festivals that weren’tKomasket Music Festival If you plop “Komasket Music
Festival” into a search engine, you will soon find yourself look-ing at a long essay-like compo-sition about the merits of natu-ral eyelash growth. In early 2012 it was announced that the Okan-agan summer festival would be taking a break and not running that year. Like other festivals of note like the Nakusp Music Fest, Komasket has not been roused from its slumber, and the stage remains vacant this year.
Loki FestivalLikewise, but without the eye
makeup ad, the Loki Festival is also not on this year. The Kaslo-area festival announced that the music wasn’t happening due to the effect of last year’s heavy rains on the site grounds.
“It is with a measure of sadness that we must bring you this news, but not without a great deal of optimism for the future,” the fes-tival’s Facebook page announced on March 18.

Drilling into woodpecker identification
There are several species of woodpecker in our region ranging in size from 17 cm to 42 cm. The ones most often seen around Nakusp are Downy Woodpecker, Hairy Woodpecker, North-ern Flicker, Red-naped Sapsucker and Pileated Woodpecker.
The first two are very similar in appearance and can sometimes be difficult to distinguish. Both are essentially black and white with the males having a small red patch on the back of the head. Downy Woodpeckers, at about 17 cm in length, are a bit smaller than Hairy Woodpeckers, but the differ-ence is slight and it is not always useful for iden-tification.
The Northern Flicker is probably our most common woodpecker. Flickers are distinguished by the reddish-orange colour on the underside of the wing, plainly visible in flight. This is also the species that likes to drum on metal objects in the spring! Street lights, chimney covers and even metal roofs are often used. This drumming takes the place of singing and serves to declare “owner-ship” of the local territory.
Red-naped Sapsuckers are also fairly common, but tend to be less obvious than flickers. This is the only one of our woodpeckers that migrates; they arrive in early April and are gone by the end of September.
As the name suggests they feed on tree sap. They drill rows of small holes in the bark and return later when the sap has begun to run. They then eat the sap, as well as the insects that are attracted to it.
Like the Downy and Hairy, this is also a pre-dominantly black and white bird. The sapsucker, however, has much more red on the head and also on the throat. The Pileated Woodpecker is by far our largest woodpecker at 42 cm in length. It is primarily black in colour with a prominent red crest and large white wing patches visible in flight. Because of the obvious red crest, this bird is often mistakenly called a ‘Red-headed Wood-pecker’. The true Red-headed Woodpecker is found only in eastern North America.
Higher up the slopes of our valley there is another woodpecker that rarely ventures to the valley bottom. Unlike the previously mentioned species that are all some combination of black, white, and red, the American Three-toed Wood-pecker is black, white and yellow.
At a glance, they look similar to the Hairy Woodpecker, but the clean white flanks and back of the Hairy are replaced by black and white bar-ring in the Three-toed. And the red patch on the head of Hairy is replaced by a yellow patch.
Even in its preferred upland habitat, this is an easy species to miss; they are generally fairly quiet. They don’t call often nor is their tapping very loud. Rather than drilling holes through the bark in search of food, they just peel off flakes of bark. In recent years, this species has benefitted considerably from beetle-killed pine trees.

M a y 2 0 1 2 — W e e k 4 You don’t like to pitch a fit, but if you want to be heard, that’s what you’re going to have to do. Make your stance known, Capricorn. Only then will you get the action you seek.
Attention, Aquarius. Someone close to you has something to say, and they need you to listen. A home improvement project turns out better than expected.
It’s a tall order, Pisces, but it’s not impossible. Gather your supplies and the troops and get crackin’. A report receives glowing reviews just in time.
Please, Aries. You are a go-getter, but sometimes you go too far. Keep that in mind this week as you work with others to get a project off the ground.
Stop dragging your feet, Taurus. You know what needs to be done, so do it. The sooner you finish, the sooner you can move on to something you really want to do.
Pragmatic Gemini. You’re always looking to get things done well in the shortest time possible, but sometimes just won’t work. Patience is key.
Clarify, Cancer. Make certain you are understood on all accounts this week. Leave nothing to chance. A friend drops by with an unusual request.
Bickering rarely solves anything, so put a stop to the madness the first chance you get, Leo. You will get nothing done if you don’t.
A loved one has a meltdown, and you’re left to pick up the pieces. You can do it, Virgo, and you will do it well. A new do lifts spirits in more ways than one.
Clam up, Libra, and you will regret it. Prepare to present your idea and watch the sparks fly. The to-do list nears completion with an addition.
A change in attitude picks up the pace, and the team finishes well ahead of schedule. Bravo, Scorpio. Your efforts won’t go unnoticed.
What’s that, Sagittarius? Your pleas are falling on deaf ears? Perhaps it’s your method of presentation. Be bold, and you’ll get what you seek.

Aries, work to strengthen a relationship with a coworker or acquaintance. Developing this relationship now will bear fruit down the road.
Taurus, take some time for quiet contemplation this week. You have a lot of things on your mind and need to work through them before you can focus on other things.
Gemini, you may � nd yourself on a spending spree and it may be dif� cult to know when to put your credit cards away. Bring a friend along to help you reign in your spending.
Cancer, with so many big decisions looming on the horizon, you may be thinking of running away from it all. But all of your problems will still be waiting for you when you get back.
Leo, people have been coming at you from all angles and you’re ready for a break. Retreat to a quiet place sometime this week and pamper yourself.
A change of scenery breathes new life into your daily routine, Virgo. Although it may be temporary, you will embrace the opportunities to recharge for a while.
Libra, a new job may give you a new perspective on life. Make the most of this new perspective and apply it to both the personal and professional parts of your life.
Scorpio, sometimes people just do not get your sense of humor, so don’t be upset if a joke doesn’t garner the laughs you anticipated. Your closest companions will still share a laugh.
Sagittarius, you will host a house full of guests this week. This role suits you well, so don’t worry as the party draws closer and the pressure begins to mount.
Capricorn, the � nal countdown until big changes are in store has begun. Are you ready for all of the things you still have to get done? If not, get busy and enlist a few helpers.
Aquarius, you are often supportive of those around you and they appreciate that support. Continue to be a valued friend and con� dante, and you’ll be happy you did.
Pisces, you may have to ask for some help this week. Accept this support and recognize it’s necessary to get the job done. A new romance may help brighten up your week.

Writers’ Coffeehouse at Nakusp Public Library
Unlike visual artists, whose works are often on public display, writers tend to be a solitary lot whose work is seen only in publications or by spouses and close friends. In fact, Nakusp has a lively group of active writers. Some are part of writer’s groups and some do their writing alone in candle-lit garrets – or maybe even just on their kitchen tables.
Time for these writers to come out of their garrets. On Thursday, July 18, at 7 p.m., a group of about ten local writers will read short excerpts from their work. There’ll be stories, essays, poems, and maybe even a little humour. Some will be reading in public for the first time, so come out and support these budding Mar-garet Atwoods and Diana Gabaldons. Have a coffee and enjoy some treats while lis-tening to fascinating stories from those shy
creatures, the writers who live just down the street.
If there’s enough interest, the library will sponsor the Coffeehouse as a regular event. This will give all the local writers a chance to air their stories and practice their skills. If you’re interested in participat-ing in a future coffeehouse, please contact Barb MacPherson at 250-265-3450, Bron-wyn Conway at 250-265-3163, or inform one of the librarians.

PUBLIC NOTICERECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT
This notice is published pursuant to section 4 of the Recall and Initiative Act.
Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013.
The Title of the Initiative is:An initiative to amend the Police Act.
Summary of Initiative:The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.
Opponent Registration:Individuals or organizations who intend to incur expenses as opponents must apply for registration with the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, August 12, 2013. Registration applications for opponents are available from Elections BC.
Initiative Advertising:Individuals or organizations who sponsor initiative advertising, other than the proponent and registered opponents, must register with the Chief Electoral Officer before they conduct or publish initiative advertising. Registration applications are available from Elections BC.
Who May Sign the Petition:Registered voters as of Monday, September 9, 2013 may sign the initiative petition. Individuals may only sign the petition once, and must sign the petition sheet for the electoral district in which they are registered at the time of signing. Signed petitions are available for public inspection.
For More Information:The initiative application and draft Bill are available for public inspection on the Elections BC website and at the Elections BC office at the address below.

Walk, run, bike, or paddle for fun and funds
blessing), “dubstep” is what the kids of today call a microphone in an industrial tumble dryer. It’s a so-called genre of “music” that defies all stan-dards music should be held to; it is abrasive to the ear, it is purveyed by people whose hairstyles are even worse than mine, and holy crabnuggets is it popular. Waaay too popular for what amounts to the sound of transformers doing the horizon-tal tango over the remains of Skrillex’s parents’ respect for him.
Too mean-spirited, you say? No. For this musi-cal plague has infected the world. Everywhere your ears turn there will be dubstep. Game trail-ers? Bingo. Movie trailers? Of course! Hollywood will follow anything like a blind dog searching for snausages. Your nightmares?
Maybe. Mine, at least. I can’t tell you how well it goes with the sound of the earth burning as it’s swallowed by the sun. Big brother is watching, many say in response to the government’s increas-ingly privacy-invasive approach to the internet. But they’re wrong. Big brother is too busy listen-ing to “Bangarang” for the 68-millionth time. Per-haps I should be grateful; the thought of a griz-zled FBI man sitting in front of his computer and watching me type this is unsettling.
On second thought, I shouldn’t really. After all, I must maintain this vitriol in order to defend against the White Walkers in the snow, i.e. Skrillex during winter. (Zing!) I will stem this tide of “wubs” and “wobs” and “BWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZZZZZFGND-GFXFHXJKKXHCKCHJVJGJKUes” and other inane noises with my equally inane tide of scream-ing guitars and bands who don’t know what an acronym is. The music war has just begun. Gui-tars vs. Laptops, Pianos vs. “The bass”, and me vs. that guy who won’t turn his iPod down on the bus.
Unfortunately, I can already see the outcome. It isn’t good. Dub-bots roam the shattered wastes of once great cities, blasting those who resist with their music until they either give up and join the rest in quiet suffering, or their eardrums explode in protest. Dub-cops sit in their patrol cars, silently rueing their ridiculous name as well as their early-onset diabetes. Sheena Easton is back from the dead (I’m assuming she’ll be dead in 2062), and recording a dubstep cover of “For Your Eyes Only.”
We’re all doomed.
I’m sometimes accused of being “behind the times.” Classmates criticize the shows I watch, or the music I listen to. Why, they even poke fun at my hair! Yes, I know, how anybody could think that a luxuriant mullet such as mine is out of style is
simply unfathomable. Some-times I think they might be right. But then, as the first wavering strains of the most obnoxious music extant drift into my eardrums, leering like the sullen youth whose iPods they dwell in, I snap back to reality. It’s no use
being “of the times” or “cur-rent,’ because today is horri-ble. And I’ll tell you why.
Dubstep, ladies and gen-tlemen, is why. Well, it’s one of 61,700 reasons why, but it’s the easiest to mock, so I’ll take it. For those of you who may not know (truly, a

Dub-step away from me with that noise, manPop duo Zager and Evans may have predicted most of the future, but they couldn’t predict this.
It was another glorious day in paradise at Summit Lake for the fun walk/run/bike/paddle fundraiser put on by Three Islands Resort. Claire Paradis/Arrow Lakes News
The Three Island 10k Walk and Run for Fun reached a new record this year. There were 139 people registered as the crowd set out on foot and bike, and organizer Irene Poznikoff was hoping this year the event would raise more than the $3,000 last year. This year, the money will be donated directly to the Arrow Lakes Hospital and will go toward providing wifi to help hospital staff.
The fun run is a popular annual event, with each par-ticipant walking away not only with a feeling they took part in something that will
benefit the community, but also with a gift. Not only is the event popular with those who walk, run or bike, each year Irene Poznikoff is given donations from businesses throughout the Slocan and Arrow Lake regions as well as from the Okanagan.
Once again, the skies were clear and weather promising to be hot for this year’s group. Water stations were ready to hand folks bottles to rehydrate them on their way around the lake. Poznikoff said she had a few kayakers this year, and hopes there will be more pad-dlers taking a turn around the lake for the sake of our local hospital.
