y A4 - CASTLEGAR NEWS, March3, 1982 - Fowler (Continued from Sunday, Feb. 20), On the other hand there is no denying’ his picture gallery of early riverboats and his intimate knowledge — in spite of complaints of a failing memory — of their history. We started at one‘end of the several dozen: . “This is the, catamaran “Dispatch” built by Captain Sanderson in’ 1884 and, owned by the Columbia. Trans- portation Company. She ran between Revelstoke and Sproats Landing — below where the C.P.R. bridge is now." Then came the 8.8. “Lytton”, built at Nakusp by Hume, and Company in 1890 and sold to the C.P.R. in 1896. She was a very powerful ship as the following story from ‘the book “Canadian Pacific Facts and Figures” indicates: “Before leaving for the coast (to take charge of the Canadian Pacific B.C. Coast steamers) Captain Troup, a well-known ship designer and C.P.R. lakes manager, enjoyed one last exciting water experience: : “In the summer of 1897 the Lytton was commissioned to make a series of special trips to carry machinery to the foot of Death Rapids, north of Revelstoke. She left Revelstoke on her first trip in the early morning of August 5. Captain Troup was personally in charge; her master, Captain Albert Forslund, piloted her; and James Townsend, who knew the river well, was.taken along to advise about the course. “For safety, all passengers were put ashore .at the foot of the canyon, and they, with the crowd assembled, saw a great sight. For six hours the steamer lined and coughed, d and chugged, irig and beating the roaring ‘ rapids, before she whistled “all's well.” It was 11:45 a.m. before she was over the first rapids, 3:45 p.m.. ‘before she was through the canyon and second rapids. “Some idea of the swiftness of the water may be gained act from the fact that she came down on the return trip in six minutes and 51 seconds. Captain Troup then turned her over to Captain Gore, who, with Captain Forslund in the pilot-house, finished the contract in three more trips.” She was dropped from service in 1903. Then came the 8.8. “Kootenay”, the “Nakusp” and the “Rossland”. This latter ship was the fastest of the lake steamers — she could make’ 20 miles per hour average and on one trial trip travelled from Arrowhead to Nakusp in one hour and 42 minutes (approximately 60 miles). The “Kootenay” — 183.5 feet long, 32.6 feet wide and 1,117 tons gross, was the most efficient ship in the fleet and could, on occasion, travel from Arrowhead to Trail on 18 tons of coal. “The “Nakusp”, unfortunately, had a short life, being ‘destroyed by fire at Nakusp in 1897. She was replaced by the now familiar “Minto” and “Moyie", two smaller paddle- wheelers originally intended for service on the Stikine River for the Klondike gold rush, but diverted to the Columbia when the rush petered out. They were the first steel-hulled sternwheelers in the area and had been fabricated in Toronto, then shipped out to B.C. by rail. The “Minto” was lengthened and assembled at Nakusp ‘and operated on the Arrow for close to 60 years and did 2,000,000 miles on the Arrow Lakes. The “Moyie” went to Kootenay Lake and is now a museum at Kaslo. Next came pictures of the C.P.R. tug.“Columbia” using a barge to break ice on the Arrow Lake north of Syringa Creék near Deer Park; the tug “Blondie” built at Halcyon; the ‘steam tug “Beaton”; the steam tug “Irene”, Captain Sutherland's first tug; and finally, ‘the “Archer”, a wood-burner built in 1897 and used by the Kootenay Lumber Company, located. where the Celgar pulpmill is now. ..-.: BE ane ow : : EGere) (ie P : ‘ -Hotel Georgia VANCOUVER (CP) — The future of the venerable Hotel Georgia, which site on one of Vancouver's busiest downtown streets, rests with = Singapore lumber . thant who has da study to the hotel's ‘eventual fate. However, a senior city planer says there ee bea lot of public pressure to let the Georgia The 65-year-old Georgia was sold to to nag it Chiong by millinaire developer Nelson Skalbania and his wife, Eleni, who runs the hotel, in December for $30.6 million — all but $1 million of that for the land, The Skalbanias, who bought it for $13.5 million in 1979, will retain contro! until late 1983, when Hii makes the final payment.

Hotel analysts predict the Georgia will either be renovated-or torn down’ and replaced with an office: tower. If the Georgia stays, it will face stiff competition from, two new first-class hotels now under construction in the downtown coré, One is the 17-storey Mandarin Hotel, being built behind* the Georgia. At $150-a-night it is slated to-be the-most luxurious in the city when it opens in the summer of 1983. The other is the 20-storey The Auberge Vancouver. scheduled to open in early 1984, i ‘There were many more boats,in this "icturs gallery of ° local lake shipping, two of which mustbe included in this brief listing. One is the Fowler's own little steam boat, the “Termite”. — “I jee burned up so much wood at higher speeds.” It was It to carry. the stumping ‘powder manufactured for land clearing by a) Kootenay. powder company in the early days. Dick Fowler “and George Walker bought the boat, installed a, steam engine and a home-made boiler and travelled 10,000 miles up and down the lake with her during the last war. “ At the other end of this floating spectrum is ‘the 8.8. 1”. In spite of t f-thi "y signs that both passenger and river traffic was passing rapidly from the rivers and lakes and being replaced by roads and rails, the big steel steamer “Bonnington” was built at Nakusp in 1911. Judging by her picture, she was a magnificent: ship, 202.5 feet long, 1,700 tons gross, with huge engines developing 1,200 H.P. She had 115 staterooms, five.decks and boasted an “excellent dining room, linen tablecloths laid with fine sterling silver flatware — three kniv. forks, three spoons-and a finger-bowl at each setting.” She plied the Arrowhead to Robson route. until 1980 and was then tied up at Nakusp where she was later stripped and burned. The Fowler picture display preserves what to most of us is at best a vague memory and at worat a complete blank, so that we know more of the history. of-medieval Europe than we do ofour community. The author of “Canadian Pacific Facts and Figures” states the case well, when he - writes: “Gone are the days when six steamers tied up ina arow at J rivalries led to dashing races on Kootenay Lake. Gone are the days of ‘white-water’ runs, Pat Metge: “I have a philosophy,” says Pat Metge, “whatever you do - you have to enjoy doing.” And for a guy who runs five miles a day, skis, plays racquetball, golf and hockey, being the Director of Recreation for this area is like an extension of his hobbies. With a love for sports and “a strong interest in business” this line of work is made to order for Pat. “You can't geta better combination,” he says. —-Pat is in charge of seeing thet ell aspects of recreation in: the area run smoothly. He oversees an office staff of four and ;.

We're very proud of that fact.” Z Pat says interest in in is high and getting higher. He showed me four sheets of statistics, lists of all their classes and the number of participants in each since 1975. I saw for myself that indeed the number of persons taking advantage of courses. and programs has increased four times since then. We offer programs, claims Pat, that make the mouths of. people in some larger cities water. Recently, well-known skier Sigge Bjorklynd came for a weekend cross-country ski clinic. When Pat mentioned this to friends in Calgary they and Skalbania, says the price of new for the site will likely be a deciding factor i in keeping the hotel. Joe says the one thing working against keeping the Georgia is that zoning laws allow a 270,000-square-foot . building on the site, substantially larger than the present hotel. However, Ted Droettboom, the city's associate director of planning, says the public wants to keep the hotel and the city could look at some kind of zoning or building trade off to dered how on earth did we get such a big name like that to come to Castlegar? I asked Pat about an upcoming spring running clinic and was told that details haven't been finalized, but that they were working on getting in “some big names.” These one- and two-day workshops have been very successful with “a high participation rate and low cost. Everybody gains.” Besides th the offers plenty of interesting and. fun programs for children, teens and adults, By far the most popular class this winter has: been Ladies’ D: ‘where two classes of 120 women meet “We have a lot of indication that rose is heavier demand around North America to stay in the smaller and more classic older hotels,” he said. “There is a trend towards renovating them into something quite exclu-~ sive.” But that’s the gap the $30-million Mandarin hopes to fill, says Basil Davis of Westwater industries Ltd., one of the owners of the site. twice a week to dance and exercise to music. Pat told me that interests seem to go in two- to three-year cycles, People now, it seems, are on more of a fitness kick, whereas a few years ago the more popular classes were handcraft sessions.

Ill health has curtailed his “excursions with Jean and friends into the hills — though he cautions “I Wouldn't bet on that when. the! summer rolls around” — he has lost none of his enthusiasm for adventure and the beauty and the stories of the hills. There “is, for éxample, the story of a group. of working over the once-rich Nakusp area at the turn of the century. One evening they ‘had all’ been celebrating to excess and only a single man was sober enough to go out prospecting the next morning. At the day’s end he returned, greatly excited; he had made what promised to be a Fich strike and showed a piece of ore heavily lined’ with gold to prove it. Unfortunately, he was _ murdered that night before he could file his claim and no one had been able to rediscover his find. Then there is the mystery of the. pever piano..It, was _ found in the middle of the north. of Revelstoke. The. mystery. fa in pag fact that the., nearest place that it could have come from was Shuswap Lake, 25 miles away over a mountain pass, through the. ‘roughest of wilderness trails and across the Columbia River. Finally, if one cannot get out into the hills anymore, what does one do? Dick's answer is: “This is beautiful country — charter a helicopter, get up high — there are valleys in the Kootenays which are 4,500-5,000 feet up and down and only half-a-mile wide.” : Jean put it in a nutshell: “When you are up on the top of @ mountain in the pure air where you can see forever in « every direction, you own the whole world.” recreation is his game LINDA HALL Getting to Know Your: 1 Neighbor PAT 'METGE.. «. his work Is.made to order. and Selkirk’s are more, educational..For example, if you wanted to play volleyball, you’ would go to Selkirk ‘to learn the skills and then to re By every. wreck: you'd sign up with us.” Pat is pleased at the Psibes of pecple who have come forth and offered their services to teach. When a possible instructor is brought to the attention’ of those in the “we what skills they have, and How do your programs differ from those of Selkirk College's C I “We work ” says Pat. “Our activities are more recreational whether they would be suitable to teach for us.” On occasion they have even sent instructors té courses to upgrade even more their abilities and skills, According to Pat the “cooperation that exists between the service groups in town and us is tremendous.” With these glowing statistics are there any dim spots? I wasn't surprised when Pat stated “facilities.” As anyone knows who has stood in those long lines to register kids for summer swimming lessons, a new pool is desperately needed to meet the growing demands of this community. More ball fields, another sheet of ice, and a cultural. facility were also cited as needs by Pat. Along the programming end of things Pat told me that, they have traditionally had trouble getting fitness peogyama for men off the ground.

That drop — 1981 figures also will show a decline — coincided with a drastic fall in U.S. housing starts as interest rates soared. + While that sliced B.C.'s stake in the U.S.,‘the economic downturn has hit like a sledgehammer in Oregon and Washington.
