Following a run-in with a submerged log, one of the propellers on the MV Co-lumbia, Waterbridge’s newer, larger ferry was seriously damaged and the vessel had to be brought in to Nakusp for re-pairs. The accident stymied vehicle traffic for the better part of two days last week.

Those traveling from Galena or Shelter Bay waited for hours to cross and when they did cross, it took twice as long.

During the outage, Mayor Karen Ham-ling wrote on her Facebook page,“The small ferry is running. The larger ferry, the MV Galena has been sitting and wait-ing for inspection by Transport Canada since October. Until it is inspected it can’t go in the water (as a replacement.)

Don’t understand why it has taken over six months and still no inspection. Just heard about that and so will be con-tacting our MP. The MV Columbia should be back in service on Sunday.”

Mayor Karen Hamling spoke with Hugh Eberle with the Ministry of High-ways in Nelson the morning after the ac-cident occurred. Everly told her that the replacement ferry was on the way and

expected to be in place by noon. It was running by 3 p.m. Thursday and made trips until the wee hours to get all of the waiting traffic moved. There was a de-lay with getting the older ferry in opera-tion as a replacement because the ramps to load vehicles had been constructed to capacitate the larger vessel. Modifi-cations were made to make the MV Ga-lena work and traffic was able to resume.

� is July, Nakusp Secondary School (NSS) Grade 11 student Katira Niquidet will be repre-senting the district as she boards a plane for Beijing, China. Niq-uidet was selected a� er a rigorous screening process vying for the chance of a lifetime: School Dis-trict 10 o� ered to send one NSS student from Grade 11 or lower (minimum age 14 years) to Bei-jing’s � � h annual international student summer camp sponsored by Beijing International Education Exchange (BIEE.) � e camp is be-ing held from July 14-23, 2015.

“Twelve applicants each had an interview with vice principal and Miss Myles, the principal,” Vice principal Ryoko Kobayashi said, “A� er narrowing it down to two, we got input from every single sta� here — teachers, educational assis-tants, administration in a secret ballot. Everybody is very happy with the results. We’re thrilled, we feel that we made the right deci-sion.”

Selection began with each of the four social studies teachers nominating three students. � en the students were ranked on tan-gibles like grades, work ethic, an essay, and a questionnaire, but also intangibles such as the personal qualities of openness to new ideas, willingness to try, being polite and respectful and also their ability to tolerate uncertainty, patience, kindness, friendliness, and ap-proachability.

� e all expenses paid oppor-

tunity includes accommodation, meals, and activities sponsored by BIEE. � is year marks the � rst time a student from SD10 will participate thanks to the newly formed department dedicated to international students. In other districts, the student selected would then be required to come up with the additional $1700 plus spending money but due to ad-ditional funds available from the international program, which is cost recovery based, the partici-pant will also receive coverage for domestic travel, administration fee and medical insurance.

“Our school district, speci� -cally our superintendent, has of-fered to pay the additional cost for one student this year,” explained Kobayashi, “SD 10 has started up an international program and the money is coming from there.”

� ere are 40 other BC second-ary students participating, and the group will be among more than 1000 to attend from 25 di� erent countries. � e BC Council for International Education has part-nered with the BIEE to support the endeavour.

Niquidet explained, “It’s an in-credible opportunity. I’ve always been interested in language and culture. It was really exciting to apply for this because it’s amazing to know that it’s possible to travel even when you don’t have a lot of � nancial resources. I’ve already started learning Mandarin with Oliver (an international student in our school from China.) I’m most excited to practice my language skills and improve my pronuncia-

tion and make conversation.”Kobayashi said, “It’s a wonder-

ful opportunity, to not only gain the knowledge and experience but to bring it back and share that with the students and the sta� upon her return.” She added, “In her es-say, Katira mentioned many great ideas about how to share her ex-perience with her peers. By having an international program here in Nakusp, not only is it about bring-ing international students here but it’s opening doors for our local students to see and experience the world out there, and making con-nections. Students from all over the world might come back with some new friendships.”

“I’m hoping to prepare a pre-sentation with photographs and language lesson for my return, fo-cusing on cultural di� erences. I’m packing a camera and a journal — and sunscreen,” Niquidet added. “I’m excited for the food as well. I can’t wait, and look forward to bring my experience back so that we can all share.”

Kobayashi got philosophical about the new inroads being cre-ated for students in the district — both coming and going. She is hopeful that the international pro-gram’s presence in Nakusp “really helps to open the eyes, minds and hearts of our community.”

“� is opportunity of the trip is amazing, but what’s even better is what this has done for her con-� dence. � is age can be a tough time, and being selected for this could be a turning point in her life,” said Til Niquidet, Katira’s mother. “I am just so happy for her.”

The Association of Kootenay Boundary Local Governments (AKBLG) held its annual conference and AGM in Nakusp from April 22-24. The event is nomadic in nature, moving locations to different host cities throughout the area each year and it’s been more than a dozen years since Nakusp hosted.

More than 200 delegates, spouses, special guests and industry representatives descended on the vil-lage for three days and nights to attend seminars, a trade show, listen to speeches and share ideas about what it means to be in local government.

“The conference is over and the delegates had a great time. They were really impressed with the are-

na complex facility, the restaurants in town and the community as a whole. Way to go Nakusp,” Ham-ling said.

Conference Coordinator Veronica Sargeant said, “Our social events were well attended; we got rave reviews. The business meetings and presenters were well received. I think everyone really enjoyed it and I’ve gotten really favourable feedback — today I re-ceived a nice email from a participant who wrote, ‘I look forward to visiting your community again in the future.’”

In addition to the business at hand, attendees got to whoop it up at the Legion with a fun money ca-sino and also received dinner vouchers to dine at their choice of a variety of restaurants to put some money into local small businesses.

Editorial � e MV Columbia ferry broke down last week

— something its engineers and builders said wasn’t supposed to happen. Now it’s in for re� t while the “old reliable” MV Galena is back in business. � at is, a� er adjustments were made to accommodate it. Because the “new” ferry was never supposed to break down, there was no backup plan. It was so unimportant that the vessel brought in as a replacement had not had an inspection in more than six months. Safety concerns? Ah, who needs them when there are lineups and an angry mob forming on Facebook?

Visitors to the area are completely charmed by the “delightful” ferry ride as part of the journey. Locals? Opinions are plentiful. When it comes to the debate of ferry vs. the construction of a � xed link at Galena, our community is divided.

Some are annoyed by the inconvenience of relying on a boat to get us where we are going. � ey say we are more “connected” to cities further away like Vernon because the route is more reli-able than the ferry at Galena. Despite the fact that Revy has a public swimming pool, maternity ward and other amenities, locals drive the Monashee to Vernon and Kelowna before choosing Revelstoke.

� ere are strong opinions against removing the ferry on Highway 23 — traditionalists; those who don’t like change and want the area to retain its charm. � ey don’t want more people discovering us. Is that forward thinking?

For those who want a bridge, they look at growth; bettering connections and the economy. More activities, the Greyhound or renting a U-Haul would be convenient. And what about logis-tical transport of goods?

Recently, it was discovered that the “free ship-ping” touted on a merchant’s website did not ap-ply to areas this remote. A di� erent address would not be charged the $37 being added to the $100 order. We wonder if the ferry has anything to do with it. Would a bridge make life more a� ordable?

� e elephant in the room is that we don’t seem to be � ghting harder for this bridge to be built. � e “little touristy destinations” in the Selkirks don’t bear concern in future transportation plans and the Ministry of Transport holds the purse strings. We can wish and hope for a � xed link to make life easier for us, but unless someone has a few billion sitting in a co� ee can somewhere to fund the endeavor, we are ferry-reliant for at least the next several generations.

Biologists to monitor South Selkirk wolves

A� er the announcement of the departure of the former Chief Admin-istrative O� cer (CAO) Linda Tynan in March, the hunt was on for her re-placement. CAO of Keremeos Laurie Taylor applied for the position and was selected because of her extensive experience and knowledge in municipal government.

Taylor spoke to the Arrow Lakes News, “I’ve been at this 38 years, and I’m excited to be coming to Nakusp. For one thing, it is stunningly beautiful and di� erent to where I am now. For another, it’s a bigger village with more sta� and you’ve got that great leading edge water and sewer system.”

Taylor starts June 1 and will arrive a week or two before with her dog, Toby. � ey have a home lined up and movers are booked.

“I’m coming a little early to get settled so I don’t have to worry about un-packing and starting a new job at the same time,” Taylor explained.

Village council took part in the � nal interview and Mayor Karen Hamling said, “We all felt Laurie was our best � t. I am very pleased to have her on board and looking forward to working with her.”

� e CAO is also the corporate o� cer whose responsibilities include the village sta� and ensuring that council follows the local government act and the community charter when making decisions. � e Nakusp CAO needs to have experience with land planning, budgets and human resources, among other things.Laurie Taylor.

E� orts to protect the dwindling mountain caribou popula-tion in the South Selkirk mountains will include monitoring two collared wolves until the wolf cull program resumes next winter. � ere are functioning collars on two wolves in the South Selkirks which are being monitored by ministry biologists.

� e ministry said the South Selkirk wolf removal is expected to resume next year when there is adequate snow cover “to be humane and e� ective.”

Eleven wolves were killed in the South Selkirk to protect 18 caribou deemed species at risk. While the BC government has concluded this season’s wolf cull in the South Selkirks and South Peace, the ministry estimates seven to 10 targeted wolves remain.

“To date these wolves have not ranged into caribou areas, so are not candidates for removal,” read a ministry bulletin dated April 15.

� e cull began mid-January with the goal to kill all four wolf packs, amounting to 24 animals, by sharpshooters from a heli-copter. � e actual costs were $90,000, less than the $150,000 the ministry originally projected.

Other government e� orts to recover mountain caribou popu-lations include two caribou maternal penning projects are under-way in BC, but aren’t without their own challenges.

� ere are 18 cows in the Revelstoke project near Mica and 11

cows in the Klinse-za project in the South Peace region. “One of the key challenges to maternal penning is the presence

of predators when the caribou are released back into the wild,” wrote the ministry in an email to the Star. � e Klinse-Za herd, for example, su� ered “signi� cant mortalities”, with four of nine calves falling to predation very soon a� er release from the pen.

Statisticians whose job it is to moni-tor trends as well as population activities amongst seniors in general, predict that by 2031 in excess of 1.3 million British Columbians will be aged 65 or over, rep-resenting almost a quarter of the popula-tion.

Of primary interest are the reports that today’s seniors can expect to enjoy an in-crease in life expectancy and in general, better health than ever before.

Choosing to stay active and living a healthy lifestyle, is the key. About 30 per cent of the way in which we orient our lives, is explained by biology and genet-ics, we are told. In fact, we can reduce our risk of chronic disease and disabilities by remaining physically active, choosing to eat a healthy diet, living smoke-free and remaining alert to avoid sustaining a fall or related type of injury.

� erefore, never underestimate the importance of remaining socially en-gaged through involvement in seniors’ organizations or special interest clubs such as those which o� er an excellent op-portunity to make new friends and learn new skills or hobbies through participa-tion.

It has been said that our local com-munity thrives as much as it does, owing

to the active involvement of volunteers within any number of chosen groups or organizations. Volunteering is a natural � t for those ready to remain active and to give back to the community in general. � e skills and experiences that older per-sons have to share are highly valued, and in many cases, depended upon by group organizers. So why not give it a try?

� anks and appreciation is extended to all members of our local community volunteer income tax team. � ey have worked hard over the past two-and-a-half months, to ensure that when help is needed in � ling one’s income tax package (especially via the computer), assistance is gladly provided to lower level income recipients at no charge upon request.

Students from the Grade 6 class at Nakusp Elementary School enjoyed a field trip to Summit Lake with their teacher Megan Jamison and Gary Davidson, local bird expert. In keeping with their commitment to the environment sparked by the BC Green Games competition, the students and parent volunteers put up all three of the duck nesting boxes that students had made from wood, as well as two of the smaller ones for chickadees or nut-hatches. “Gary, who is a bird guru, came with us for the day and brought his spotting scope. All of the students were able to see a close-up of a female bald eagle sitting on her eggs in a nest across the lake.

We walked the entire Rail Trail from Summit Road at the far end to the Ruby Range Road access. With Gary’s expert advice, and the help of a parent, Hugh Watt, got the nesting boxes mounted on trees,” Jamison explained.Another parent shuttled students from the end of the walk along the Rail Trail to the Provincial Park campground where they ate lunch. The students had lots of fun exploring in the wetlands. Jamison said that a highlight was seeing the beaver lodge near the Rail Trail. “They all enjoyed exploring along the lakeshore and learning more about wetland ecology and how everything in nature is con-nected. We put the other two duck nesting boxes much higher up to hopefully attract goldeneye ducks — as per Gary Davidson’s expert advice,” said Jamison.

Delegates from all over the Kootenays were treated to a tour of Nakusp’s micro hydro plant on Upper Brouse Rd by Nakusp’s Director of Operations Warren Leigh during the annual AKBLG. The micro hydro plant generates electricity, which is then sold back into the grid and generates the more than $30,000 per year in income for the village.

Cougars go bananas in CranbrookRYAN WILLMAN

Arrow Lakes News

� e Nakusp Secondary School Sr. Girls soccer team participated in a series of small narratives that wove themselves into an epic tale of wind, shootouts and aggressive combat during last weekend’s tournament in Cranbrook hosted by Mt. Baker Secondary School. Played in a two pool, round robin format, eight teams from the Kootenay region waged battle on the pitch where old and new rivalries translated into wins and losses, the sum of which equated to an impressive 3rd place showing for the Cougars.

� e fun kicked o� with a match up against the Creston Bulldogs who were sporting optimistic blue and gold uni-forms. Unfazed by the fancy threads and inexplicitly � red up, the grey and white Cougars came out of the gate swinging. � e sheer momentum of their onslaught transformed the pitch into a one-way street that funneled every movement to-wards the Creston keeper. A� orded a few minutes of relief as the Cougar forward unit calibrated their shots to the narrower � eld of play, the Creston defense managed to stand up against the wave of o� ensive pressure, that is, until outside fullback, Skye Cunningham unleashed her demon and made it rain bananas. Starting with a laser beam corner kick from mid� elder Kira Streliev, the ball entered a scrum in front of the net then pinballed itself out to mid-pitch where Cunningham, cool as a cucumber, was waiting. Seizing the opportunity provided by space and time, Cunningham let loose the dogs of war and con� dently punted the ball causing it to sail so majestically through the air that everyone on-� eld paused momentarily to watch its � ight path. As the ball traveled

the length of the � eld, the Creston keeper was too late shaking herself from her awe, and couldn’t recover in time to prevent the ball from landing squarely in the net. � e muted sound of ball colliding with ground broke through the trance of both teams and the Cougars erupted into a cheer as they crowded around Cunning-ham to celebrate the 1-0 lead. � e Cou-gars continued to amp-up the pressure and walked o� the � eld a� er 70 minutes of play to the tune of 5-0.

With a win under their belt, the Cou-gars prepared to collect a debt from the Selkirk Storm owing from a previous slight against the Sr. girls a few years ago on their home turf. Unleashed, the girls took to the � eld with enough gusto to generate nerve tingling sparks of electric-ity that visibly de� ated the Storm into a mild weather pattern. � e charge snapped into lightning when mid� elders Katria Niquidet and Streliev completed their back and forth passing circuit through the defensive line to feed a sweet pass to Boswell who blasted the ball through the Selkirk keeper and notched an early lead.

� e Selkirk Storm had only two an-swers to the o� ensive pressure of the Cougars and the match concluded with an appeasing 4-2 win.

Rising to the top with the other cream of the tournament, the Cougars found themselves sharing a pitch with the hosts, Mt. Baker Secondary School Wild. � e one-way street was re-zoned into a two-way street, and both heavyweight teams traded blows and chances during a con-test that reduced burly yards into � nite inches. Showing no quarter, Streliev bore down on the scruples of her con-viction and managed to unearth a beast that absolutely attacked every free ball on the � eld. Her work ethic was rewarded

when unrelenting pressure caused the ball to pop out of the false security of the keeper’s hands and right to the foot of Boswell who easily claimed a 1-0 lead for the Cougars. Quick to answer, the Wild consumed the energy radiating from a sideline populated with cheering locals and managed to � nd a momentary � aw in the Cougars fundamentals to tie up the game. Both teams stubbornly refused to give up any more chances for the remain-ing � ve minutes of game time, and the match went to a shoot out.

With more scoops than a box of Raisin Bran, the Cougar shooters could not � nd the net and close the deal on a win. Good-man was le� to shoulder the outcome of the game alone, and despite a monumen-tal eight round e� ort and several impres-sive saves, the Wild managed to take the win and � rst place in the pool.

� e pool crossover game pitted the 2nd place Cougars against 2nd place In-vermere in a battle for the 3rd and 4th place standings. Each team managed to � nd a banana in a contest that was indica-tive of each other’s pool ranking, as skill and ferocity boiled the game down into yet another shoot out. With a welcomed chance at redemption, the Cougars lined themselves along the centerline deter-mined not to repeat their previous game performance. Unfortunately, the girls continued to have trouble � nding the net as mis� res caused the ball to disregard the collective will of the Nakusp squad to go home to net. Finally, a� er 12 rounds (and three saves from elimination with e� orts from Ashley Friedenberger, keeper Adriel Goodman and stopper Rene Goodman), Kira Streliev returned to the front of the shooting queue and delivered the ball home to clinch the 3rd place victory for the Cougars.

Showing solidarity, the Cougars banded together as a pride to support their shooter. Photo by Ryan Willman

For some, it seems that the boat launch at the east end of the wa-terfront is an ongoing saga, and many would agree. BC Hydro and Columbia Power are man-dated to provide recreational ac-cess to communities affected by the changing water levels attrib-uted to the Columbia Basin power generation project but have fallen short when it comes to year-round access.

Work to extend the launch fur-ther into the water for low levels began earlier this spring and ac-cording to Jen Walker-Larsen, Stakeholder Engagement Advisor, Community Relations for the Up-per Arrow Lakes, “We are pleased to announce that this year’s con-struction of the Nakusp boat ramp is complete. The project team took advantage of the lower than usual Arrow Lakes Reservoir water level this spring to construct the ramp to a lower level than originally planned. Based on data the past

30 years of Arrow Lakes Reser-voir water levels, there would have been only two years (1991 and 2001) where the new ramp would not have provided year round ac-cess.”

She reports that the project work went smoothly resulting in an additional 48 metres of new concrete ramp being successfully installed down to an elevation of 423.6 metres (1,389.8 feet). In addition, to improve boater ac-cess during very low water levels, crushed gravel was placed at the

base. Not forgetting about the aquatic life in the Arrow Lakes, large cobble was placed along the sides of the ramp to provide fish habitat. The last phase of the proj-ect to provide access for as low as 420.5 m would involve underwa-ter construction using divers and come at a considerable cost, so the design plan has been submitted to the Provincial Comptroller for further assessment.

Walker-Larsen stated, “BC Hydro and Columbia Power would like to thank the Village of

Nakusp, boaters, residents, and businesses for their support of this important project and patience while the construction work was underway.”

The extension work is expected to significantly improve boater ac-cess at Nakusp and provide year round access no matter what the water level. If this holds true, der-bies can take place from the public boat launch in any month of the year. Feedback can be sent to Walk-er-Larsen at 250.814.6645 or [email protected]

It’s time to touch the “ancients of the deep” and re-lease your very own prehistoric-like � sh into the waters of Arrow Lakes Reservoir. � e annual Juvenile White Sturgeon Release, hosted by the Upper Columbia White Sturgeon Recovery Initiative (UCWSRI), will be on � ursday May 7, between 11.30 a.m. and 1.30 p.m., at Shelter Bay Provincial Park.

� e event provides an opportunity for the public to learn more about these very unique � sh, and give the endangered white sturgeon of the Columbia a helping hand - quite literally.

� e release event is organized by the Fish and Wild-life Compensation Program (FWCP) with support from BC Hydro, Revelstoke Rod and Gun Club, Co-lumbia Power Corporation, and FortisBC.

Approximately 2,850 ten month-old juvenile white sturgeon, each weighing on average 180 grams, will be released at Shelter Bay this year. � ey were raised at the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC’s Kootenay Trout Hatchery in the East Kootenay, and produced from wild adults caught last June. � is aquaculture program is funded by BC Hydro.

� ough releases of hatchery raised sturgeon into the Arrow Lakes have been occurring since 2007, very few individuals have been recaptured as a part of ongoing monitoring programs. It will take time to be able to tell whether recovery e� orts in Arrow Lakes Reservoir are making a di� erence and, in an area as large as Arrow Lakes Reservoir, � nding and capturing small white sturgeon is extremely di� cult. About 40,000 juveniles have been released since 2007, and monitoring will continue in order to determine survival rates.

� e population of sturgeon in Arrow Lakes Reser-voir is estimated at roughly 50 adults and are known to

spawn near Revelstoke.� e Sturgeon Recovery Initiative is a partnership of

more than 20 stakeholders from government, First Na-tions, industry, community and environmental organi-zations. Sturgeon recovery includes research to deter-mine the causes of decline, release of hatchery-reared juveniles from wild stock adults, restoration of habitat, and monitoring and management of water � ows.

For more information about the sturgeon release event call the BC Hydro o� ce at 250-365-4550, and to � nd out more about the UCWSRI visit www.upperco-lumbiasturgeon.org.

Th e family of Gordon Woldum is sad to announce

Gordon’s passing after a brief battle with cancer. He is lovingly remembered by his three children; Doug, Rick (Cheryl), Debbie (John), and his fi ve grandchildren; Nathan, JJ, Dylan, Amanda and Nicole. Also left to cherish his memory are his brother Nelson Woldum and sister Doreen Hamling. Gordon was pre-deceased by his wife Jean, and his parents Nathan and Alice.

Gordon was born July 11th, 1937 in Strathmore, Alberta and moved to Ocean Falls in 1942 where he lived for 7 years. In 1949 he moved to Nakusp where he completed his schooling, graduating in 1955. He then attended Calgary Technical School from 1956-1958 and 1959-1963 where he obtained his Automotive Journeyman Certifi cate and also completed his electrical apprenticeship.

He married Jean MacDonald in 1960 and in 1963 they moved to Prince Rupert, BC where Gordon worked at the pulp mill. After two years in Prince Rupert, Gordon obtained employment at the new pulp mill in Kamloops, BC where he worked for 9 years as a maintenance electrician. Gordon left the pulp mill in 1972 for the University College of the Cariboo (now Th ompson Rivers University) where he taught electrical apprentices for 26 years until his retirement.

In 1984, the Canadian Government seconded Gordon from UCC for two years to teach at the Ramogi Institute of Advanced Technology in Kisumu, Kenya. While there, he established an electrical course for the Kenyan students. Gordon and Jean embraced this adventure by immersing themselves in the culture and traveling around the country.

Gordon was a member of the Kamloops Vintage car club for many years and enjoyed the time he spent rebuilding his 1941 Chev and 1952 Buick. He will be remembered for his love to talk and for his sense of humour (took pleasure in playing tricks on his workmates, friends and family over the years).

Th e family would like to thank Dr.Anders for all his compassionate care over the years and to the amazing staff at the Kamloops Hospice who made it possible for Gordon to spend his fi nal days in comfort and dignity. Th anks also goes to his good friend Ron Buck, for keeping him company since Jean passed away last year.

A service will be held to remember Gordon on Saturday, May 9th at Schoening Funeral Chapel.

If friends so desire, donations may be made in Gordon’s name to the Kamloops Hospice Association.

SALES & SERVICE

Say’s Phoebe is a member of the flycatcher fam-ily. Twenty-four flycatcher species have been re-corded in BC, eleven of which occur in our region. Hammond’s Flycatcher and Western Wood-Pewee are our most common flycatchers; both breed reg-ularly in the valley.

Say’s Phoebe is not common in the Nakusp area, but most years I see a few in early spring. They migrate much earlier than other family members, usually appearing in March. (Hammond’s Fly-catcher rarely arrives before the end of April.) Say’s Phoebes are much more common in drier, more open areas. Other than that, they are not fussy; they have been reported in open habitats ranging from Arctic tundra to deserts. Their only other re-quirement is a suitable nesting location. This may be a cliff, a canyon wall or a rock outcropping. Like many cliff nesting species, human-made structures are also quite often used. Farms are likely places to see them since there are often a number of out-buildings that can be used as nests sites. Farms also provide fences and posts, which serve as suitable perches from which to watch for insects.

In 1999, I found a nest in an outbuilding on a farm in Brouse. This was the first known breed-ing record for the local area. The nest was locat-ed on a roof beam in a shed with an open front. Four young were fledged from the nest. Last week I found the area’s second nest. This is also situat-ed on top of a roof beam, also in an open-fronted

shed on a farm in Brouse. The nest’s appearance is somewhat like that of an American Robin, but is a bit smaller and much neater looking. The nest cur-rently (April 20th), contains five eggs. I don’t know exactly when the eggs were laid, but based on my observations of the adult birds’ activity during the previous few days, I’d say the clutch was completed very recently. The incubation period is 12-14 days, so I expect them to hatch at the beginning of May. The young should remain in the nest for a little less than 3 weeks.

In addition to those mentioned above, there are several other flycatchers occurring in the local area. Olive-sided Flycatchers are reasonably com-mon but are usually restricted to higher elevations. Alder Flycatchers are very uncommon here but I do encounter one or two most years. Willow Fly-catchers are quite common around marshes, such as the one at the southeast end of Summit Lake. Least Flycatchers were once very rare in southern BC, but they have established themselves quite well in the last few decades. Dusky Flycatchers are much more likely to occur in open habitats such as that found in the Castlegar-Trail area. But there are a few around; they seem to like regenerating clearcuts. Pacific-slope Flycatchers are unpredict-able here. Some years I don’t encounter any, while in other years they are here in reasonable numbers. Western Kingbird is another flycatcher that prefers drier, more open habitat, but I do see them occa-sionally in agricultural fields. Eastern Kingbirds breed in Brouse and other similar habitats. They prefer nest sites along streams or beside small lakes.
