Kayakers take on Incommapleux waters for awareness ALEX COOPER Black Press

The last time a group attempted to descend the upper Incomappleux River, the trip ended in tragedy. In July 2003, Yves Laforest, Aurelie Chabaud, Michel Bastien and Martin Champagneur set out to climb Mount Hope in the southwest corner of Glacier National Park, then paddle the Incomappleux River to the Upper Arrow Lake. They were aiming to raise money to support children with leukemia. They were successful in summiting, but their trip down the river ended quickly in tragedy when they were all swept up in a rapid. Only Champagneur survived. Ten years later, a group of nine Kootenay kayakers – including Revelstokians Sean Bozkewycz, Sam Ewing and Christian Foster – is heading back to the Incomappleux River in an attempt to complete a first descent of the river and raise awareness about the unique rainforest that exists in its upper reaches. Carl Jacks, a 36-year-old nurse who lives in New Denver, B.C., is leading the expedition. He is a co-founder of the West Kootenay-based Endangered Creeks Expedition, a team of paddlers that dedicate their time to exploring and reporting on waterways threat-

ened by run-of-river power projects. As a kayaker, he’s regarded as fearless, a bit reckless, adventurous and a very skilled paddler. The idea of paddling the Incomappleux has been with him since he first explored its middle and lower sections in 2006, when ventured as far as he could upriver by road. “Being a paddler, I couldn’t help think what’s above, what keeps going,” he said. “The features we were seeing in the lower sections were quite unbelievable.” Jacks has undertaken a number of first descents of rivers and creeks throughout B.C., but the Incomappleux is the one he’s felt would be the biggest challenge. He’s not wrong, that’s for sure. Just to access the river, Jacks and his team will have to trek 13-kilometres overland through the Flat Creek Valley in Glacier National Park. Once on the river, they will be faced with 55-kilometres of paddling, some of which has never been run before. All they have is aerial photos to go on. “It’s going to be what looks to really intense class four, five whitewater,” he said. “It cuts through a lot of slide paths so the terrain on the side of the river will be extremely hard to navigate if we choose to get out of the boat, which is usually the case if we need to scout a section of water.”

Paddler and river watchdog Carl Jacks will be navigating the Incommapleux with a team of kayakers. Photo courtesy Carl Jacks The purpose of the trip isn’t just to accomplish a first descent. The team also aims to document the wilderness found in the upper Incomappleux valley – a largely untouched wilderness filled with massive old growth cedars and that is also prime mountain caribou habitat. They are partnering with the Valhalla Wilderness Society, an environmental organizational that is lobbying to have the area preserved as a park. They have also

received funding from Mountain Equipment Coop. What are the challenges in an expedition like this? First, there’s the overland approach through the Flat Creek valley. Jacks expects it to be two to three days of bushwhacking. Then there’s the river itself. The rapid that

Burton residents told to boil water CLAIRE PARADIS Arrow Lakes News

Residents of Burton, B.C. are being told to boil their water before using it. The Regional District Central Kootenay issued a boil water notice on Aug. 22 for users of the Burton Water System because recent testing showed that the current water quality poses a health risk. Water testing results indicate that there are low levels of coliform bacteria and very low levels of e. coli,

Jason McDiarmid, Manager of Utility Services for the RDCK told the Arrow Lakes News. Where it came from is unknown, but anything minor could cause it because Burton is a no-chlorination system. McDiarmid noted that in another similar system, grass clippings were believed to be the contamination culprit. McDiarmid said it could also be a sampling error, and another sample was being done Fri. Aug. 23 then

taken to a lab in Kelowna that day. Because there are some very dangerous strains of e. coli, the RDCK has taken the precaution of issuing the Boil Water Notice. Under such a notice, the RDCK and Interior Health recommend that all water system users drink boiled water or a safe alternative until further notice. “Water intended for drinking, washing fruits and vegetables, making beverages or ice, or brushing

teeth should be boiled for one minute,” a press release from the RDCK stated. “Boiled water should then be refrigerated in a clean, covered container. Customers could also choose to use bottled or distilled water, or water that has been filtered through a well-maintained treatment device.” In accordance with the notice, owners of all public facilities must post a BOIL WATER NOTICE at all sinks or drinking water fountains accessible to the public, or turn the

taps or fountains off. They must also advise their clientele verbally of the Boil Water Notice. “The RDCK is taking additional measures to reduce risk including: flushing and draining the reservoir and adding temporary consumption level of chlorine to the water,” the press release also stated. “Interior Health has been notified. The RDCK will advise public when conditions change or water quality has improved.”

Body of eldery man recovered at Mirror Lake Black Press At approximately 12:15 p.m. Monday, August 19, the body of 73-year-old Randolph Peter (Randy) Lundblad who was reported missing in Mirror Lake was located by the

RCMP Dive Team. Randy Lundblad had ridden his bicycle to the lake near Kaslo in the early afternoon on Aug. 18. He was seen diving into the lake and swam around for a short period of time

(approximately 3-5 minutes). Witnesses reported that a faint call for help was heard and the elderly male was observed to be in distress. Two people tried to help, but weren’t able to reach him before he had gone

under the water. He did not come back to the surface. Mr. Lundblad’s body was found in approximately 45 feet of water, close to where he was last seen. The recovery proved more difficult than

expected as the bottom of the lake is covered in a significant layer of mud, making visibility an issue. Foul play is not suspected and the case will be turned over to the BC Coroners Service.

Lemon Creek fuel spill data released Black Press

Interior Health says water samples taken from the Slocan and Kootenay rivers following last month’s jet fuel spill into Lemon Creek have borne out their expectations that most of the fuel would disappear within seven to ten days. “We expected the material would largely evaporate and the majority of the rest would mix with river water and move downstream,” Dr. Andrew Larder, senior medical health officer, told a media conference call this afternoon. “We thought the risk of groundwater contamination would be very low with this product. The results released today confirm those assumptions.” No surface water samples have tested positive for fuel contamination since August 1, Larder added, and samples collected from at-risk shallow wells downstream of the spill site have not detected any fuel

product either. A do-not-use order was issued for the three waterways on July 26, shortly after an Executive Flight Centre truck carrying jet fuel for helicopters batting a wildfire on Perry Ridge took a wrong turn onto a forest service road and overturned into Lemon Creek, spilling 33,000 litres. The restrictions were lifted incrementally between August 6 and 9. Larder says despite remaining pockets of fuel, he’s confident the rivers are safe for consumption and recreation. He said Interior Health is not recommending everyone get their water tested. “We have told people and continue to tell them if they have followed flushing directions for their water published by Interior Health and there is no detectable fuel smell, the water is safe to drink. If they can still detect the smell, we ask them to call us so we can assess their system.”

Geoff Hughes-Games with the Ministry of Agriculture also said tests conducted on eight properties all met regulatory standards for use of the soil for crops or other agricultural purposes. The data released today and published on the Ministry of Environment’s website is based on 199 surface water samples, 75 river sediment samples, and eight samples from groundwater wells, according to senior environmental protection officer Brad McCandlish. It was processed by environmental science consultant SNC Lavalin with the ministry’s guidance. Asked how bad things were immediately following the spill, McCandlish said in some cases the amount of fuel in the water was four times acceptable limits, and near the crash site “quite a bit higher than that” up to three days after the incident. McCandlish, who has

been working full-time on the response for the last three weeks, said dead juvenile fish and a “handful of birds” have been recovered, but “no other wildlife that was deceased or in distress.” Despite suggestions in a class-action lawsuit that the spill caused an ecological “dead zone,” McCandlish said he has observed both fish and wildlife “to a significant degree.” Executive Flight Centre senior vice-president Wayne Smook said the company will be looking at ways of preventing a similar accident, but couldn’t provide specifics. “All the information we received will be reviewed,” he said. “We will be changing operational procedures for sure.” Smook also said that while “a small army” continues to clean up the river, they will move to long-term monitoring once the province has approved their plan.

Province should review more roadside driving bans: NDP jeff nagel Black Press

The NDP’s justice critic is urging the province to overhaul its process for reviewing roadside driving bans imposed on drinking drivers in light of a recent court ruling. Leonard Krog said the government should proactively offer to re-review other cases if the procedure for weighing challenges turns out to have been incorrect. The B.C. Supreme Court this month quashed one roadside driving ban that had been upheld in the review process, deciding a report setting out guidelines for use of alcohol screening devices was inadmissible. Defence lawyers say the ruling could be grounds for many more roadside prohibitions to be appealed.

Krog said the government must be scrupulously fair in how it handles challenges of the penalties, because they take effect immediately and are dispensed at the roadside by police, not a judge. “In our zeal to get drunk drivers off the road, which is something we all share, it doesn’t mean you get to disregard the rights of citizens to fairness in the hearing process,” he said. “It clearly opens up the possibility of many other people asking for judicial reviews.” Government lawyers are still reviewing the implications of the overturned decision. But Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said the ruling appears to be largely procedural and unlikely to threaten the three-year-old legislation underpinning the Immediate

Roadside Prohibitions. “When you have a new program, you can expect that people are going to take runs at it,” she said. “But fundamentally, the legislation remains very sound.” Anton said about 1,500 roadside prohibitions are issued each month and just two per cent on average are successfully challenged. Alcohol-related fatalities have plunged 51 per cent since the expanded system of suspensions kicked in nearly three years ago – replacing criminal prosecutions of many impaired drivers – and the government estimates 143 lives have been saved. Anton said the regulations continue to have a powerful effect deterring people from drinking and then driving. “People understand the immediate serious conse-

quences that flow from that.” Drivers who get an Immediate Roadside Prohibition can lose their driving privileges for up to 90 days, have their vehicle impounded and face hefty fines as well as costly installation of an ignition interlock device in their vehicle. Documents recently disclosed under Freedom of Information show drivers who challenge their rulings to the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles aren’t told if the screening device used to test them was later found to be inaccurate. They’re merely told their driving prohibition was deemed invalid, without provision of specific reasons, usually weeks after the vehicle was impounded and the licence suspended. The province pays towing and storage bills of appellants who are successful.

Open Morton’s Beach and Octopus Creek to public I wanted to thank the people of Nakusp and Fauquier for nine days of fantastic vacation. My wife and kids have been coming to the valley for the better part of the last 20 years. Not much has changed in that time and it is lovely to rest in your communities. We have always brought our vacation money to the communities and supplied ourselves there to help your economy. My favourite: do not miss is Glen at Spiritwood (and the Saturday market) where I spend as much as I can. My wife’s is What’s Brewing on Broadway where she spends as much as she can (didn’t see the bearded guy writing in his book this time) and of course the family favourite, the deli by the hardware store where we always get a fantastic lunch. We did not make it last year because of other commitments but we were glad to be back this year. I am saddened to see so many shops closed since last time, even though the new chocolate store was a good experience. I believe Nakusp is missing out on a great opportunity in the wake of the festival failure. We camped for many years at Morton’s beach and visited again last week and it is still beautiful as ever. I believe that the powers that be need to get this area reopened as a camping area either as an extension of MacDonald Creek or on its own. The economic potential could be tre-

mendous if done properly. I know it got crazy there in its final years as I saw it first hand. Burning of vehicles, driving in the lake and a total lack of respect for the family atmosphere that it was for so long. The residents of Bayview had a legitimate beef, but this area should be open to the public with a supervised, family-oriented theme. Since the closure we went to Octopus Creek which is also now closed for different reasons and now to Taite Creek which also has very limited supervision and is peaceful and relaxing. We spend approx. $1,000 in the area during our week. We drive four hours to get there with the risk of not getting a site. Many people won’t take that risk and simply choose to go elsewhere and spend their thousands out of the valley. You need the cash as I see it, the towns seem to be suffering economically. Let the families see the valley, have a great camping experience and empty their wallets as we have for so many years. We love your valley, lake and towns but would hate to have to eventually go elsewhere when the camping pressure becomes too great to risk the drive out there. Get Morton’s Beach and Octopus Creek open. Eric Solland West Kelowna, B.C.

Young athlete impresses visitors My wife and I and our two kids were vacationing last week in Nakusp and there was a local young man at the skate board park doing some amazing tricks. My family watched him and his friend for over half an hour. He got up enough nerve to try something he never attempted before and landed it nicely. I actually got a cool pic of his successful first attempt.

This young man was an unsuspecting ambassador for your town. He was very courteous and fun to watch. My five and nine yearr old could not stop talking about it all day. Gary Ouellette Lumby, B.C.

Congrats to Joe Wareham, an ambassador of Nakusp to the world. Since 1923

Call to get involved in CRT Contributed by J. Molly Bell

Part one of two This is a call for action. The Columbia River Treaty between Canada and the U.S. can be revised or terminated in 2024 with 10 years notice. This fall or winter (2013) the B.C. and federal governments will decide what they will do. Those who govern with a majority can be less likely to listen to their citizens but we must make a strong attempt to be heard and seize this opportunity to revisit this agreement to get a better deal for Canada and the environment. The Columbia River Treaty created three massive dams in Canada, the Keenleyside (Arrow), the Mica and the Duncan and one in

the U.S., the Libby Dam. It guarantees the U.S. millions of gallons of storage water and Canada receives guaranteed downstream benefits annually of $100-300 million. A pittance when measured against the 50 years of damage to the ecosystem. Many interest groups on both sides of the border propose conflicting amendments or termination. Once the Columbia River was wild and inaccessible, but in the early 1800s fur traders hoped to find a river that would connect their trading posts to the Pacific. The original human inhabitants of the Columbia River Basin, the North American Tribes (U.S.) and the First Nations (Canada), lost everything to the dams after 10,000 years of successful coex-

istence. Salmon was sustenance for body and soul. In the U.S. there are numerous tribes deeply involved in restoring their fishery. Further, when the dams were built, there was the summary eviction of many families from their farms. There are people on the Arrow Lakes who are still bitter and angry because they feel no genuine consultation or compensation ever occurred. The Columbia River is the most heavily dammed river in the world, and now we know at what huge cost to the natural domain and its denizens we tamed it. The dams and reservoirs provide water for five sectors. Flood control, navigation, hydroelectric power, irrigation in the northwest U.S. and recreational tourism.

RCMP files: theft, lost on the lakes, car troubles Claire paradis Arrow Lakes News

Both people and property has come and gone this late summer season. According to police, cars, food, and fishing gear have all been changing location.

Thefts of fishing tackle and food in Burton area On Aug. 23, a resident of Burton Cross Road reported that during the night someone had stolen fishing tackle from his unlocked shed. Later that day, a resident of McCormack Road told police that somebody had entered an unlocked building on their property and had stolen a number of food items from a freezer. The home owner is believed to have been home at the time of the offence which is suspected to have occurred sometime during the night.

Truck stolen in Nakusp Nakusp RCMP responded to a report of a stolen pickup truck from a local repair shop on Aug. 24. Police were advised that the vehicle had been stolen sometime during night; it was located in the morning by the shop owner along Hwy 23 near Hotsprings Road. The red flat deck Ford sustained significant damage likely from being driven in an erratic manner. If you have information regarding this theft, or saw the truck being driven, please contact the Nakusp RCMP.

Stolen and recovered ATV An abandoned ATV was found in the driveway of a residence on Shakespeare Road on Aug. 24. The ATV was found to have been stolen from the garage of a residence a short distance from where it was later discovered. There was no damage to the ATV and it appears to have

been pushed to the other driveway, and neighbours didn’t see any suspicious people in the area on the evening of the theft. “With the influx of additional people during the summer months, it is even more important to keep valuables locked up and out of sight,” said Corporal Ryan Fehler of the Nakusp RCMP, who reminded residents to be diligent in watching for, and reporting, suspicious behaviour particularly in rural areas. If you have any information regarding the above noted incidents, please contact the Nakusp RCMP or Crimestoppers. The Nakusp and Slocan Lake RCMP had a busy month between July 19 and August 21, attending to over 230 calls for service and attending to 18 motor vehicle collisions.

Impaired motor vehicle collision Around 3 a.m. on July 20, the Nakusp RCMP attended a single vehicle roll over on Highway 6, near Government Hill Road in Nakusp. A lone woman was the only person in the vehicle, and due to physical signs and smells, a roadside breathalyzer was used. After two failed readings, the driver was issued a Notice of Driving Prohibition for 90 days, and a 30 day vehicle impoundment. Hit and run collision Although alcohol was suspected, Nakusp RCMP were unable to determine if it was a factor in a hit and run collision that occurred at a property located on Columbia Crescent in Nakusp. The vehicle left the road, drove onto the complainant’s front lawn and hit his parked vehicle. Police later found the suspect’s vehicle, and evidence led police to the driver, a local woman in her 30s. The driver admitted to being responsible and was charged under the Motor Vehicle Act.

An anonymous call to the Nakusp RCMP on July 27 around 10:40 at night tipped them off that an intoxicated male was leaving the Leland Hotel in a red station wagon. When the police arrived, they saw the described vehicle pulling into a parking stall in front of the Leland Hotel. The lone driver was identified and showed signs of impairment, and failed a subsequent breathalyzer test. The driver was issued a 90 day Immediate Roadside Prohibition, and his vehicle was impounded for 30 days.

Overdue tuber (not a longawaited potato) The Nakusp RCMP received a report on July 30 in the late afternoon, of a visiting Calgarian who was missing on Arrow Lakes. The man had last been seen near the ‘Bahamas’ in Arrow Lakes on a white and black circular tube. After deciding to go for a float on his own, he had become lost once he was separated from the group. The Nakusp RCMP and Search and Rescue searched the area, and the Nakusp RCMP located the male a short time later on Highway 6 near MacDonald Creek. The man said he had tubed across the lake and he didn’t know exactly where he was, so he walked up toward the highway to get help.

Overdue boaters

Early in the morning of August 3, the Nakusp RCMP received a call about overdue boaters at Trout Lake. The Nakusp RCMP, Nakusp Search and Rescue and some determined Trout Lake locals searched the area, and located the boat along with occupants on a nearby beach. The owner of the boat stated the boat broke down so they camped on a beach while waiting for help. Although they were cold, the boaters were okay. -with files from Nakusp RCMP

Birds of Nakusp For the last 19 years I have been systematically monitoring the Osprey nests between Nakusp and Fauquier. There have been a few occasions when I was away during the summer or at least away enough of the time that I was unable to get an accurate picture. But for 12 of the last 19 years I do have sufficient data to determine the outcome of the nests. Each year I determine several things. First, at how many nests birds are present at the beginning of the season; second, in how many nests eggs are laid; third, in how many nests young are produced and fourth, how many young are produced in all the nests.

Ospreys spend the winter in Central and South America. The usually arrive back in the valley around the middle of April. Early in the season, usually at the beginning of May, I check all of the nests to see at which ones adult birds seem to be present. This ranges from a low of 22 in 2012 to 36 in 2010; the average is 28. Not all of these nests, however, will actually be used. For reasons which are unclear, there are always a few pairs that go through the motions, perhaps make some repairs to the nest, but do not lay eggs. The number of nests that do contain eggs ranges from a low of 14 in 1998 to a high of 27 in 2010; the average is 20. And even in those nests in which eggs are laid, not all will actually produce young. The number of nests that do produce young ranges from a low of 8 in 2012 and 2013, to a high of 19 in 2010; the average is 14.5. The total number of young produced in all the nests ranges from a low of 12 in 2013 to 31 in 2011; the average is 23.3. It is interesting to note that in years when fewer nests are successful, the average num-

INITIATIVE PETITION

ber of young in each nest seems to increase. Perhaps fewer nests results in less competition for food and therefore better nesting success. It is clear from my statistics that 2012 and 2013 have been the worst two years of the twelve for which I have data, this coming right after 2011 which was one of the best. In 2011, 17 of the 20 active nests (85 per cent) produced young. Last year only 50 per cent of the active nests produced young, and this year that dropped to 40 per cent – the average is 72 per cent. The total number of young produced in these three years was 31, 13 and 12 respectively – the average is 23. It is difficult to explain why 2011, 2012 and 2013 should produce such different results. In 2012, water levels were extremely high during June and July, and I had wondered if this may have been a factor. But levels were not unusually high this year yet results were again poor. It’s probably too early to push the panic button just yet, but I’ll be anxious to see what sort of results we get in the next couple of years.

took out the 2003 expedition is the first one they will encounter. It is followed by a kilometre-long canyon. All of it is class four and five whitewater – about as intense as it gets. On land, the river is surrounded by avalanche paths that are full of devil’s club and alders. Safety will be the prime consideration. “We’re not trying to be heroes out there. The river and the land is always going to win,” he said. “If something looks like it’s too dangerous to run or impossible to set safety on, then we walk it. If the walking is almost as dangerous as paddling, you’re almost in a toss up. It’s like a game of chess strategy, with putting safety in the forefront.” Jacks said the fate of the last expedition is in his mind, but added that they are going in much more prepared. The 2003 mission consisted of mountaineers who were unprepared to run the river, he said, whereas his team consists of experienced kayakers. “The idea there are unclaimed bodies in the woods, you can’t help but think you’ll be passing over them at some point. It adds an element of mysticism to it,” he said. “You can’t help thinking about it. In the same regards, I understand where they flipped, what claimed them and what happened.” Jacks’ teams is leaving Revelstoke on Tuesday, Sept. 3. They hope to arrive in Beaton a week later.
