They are currently studying the water- shed and the buildup of streams, rivers and lakes be- hind ‘quake caused dams, ” They will also be looking at the existing well water supplies to note recent changes in level and potability as‘a preliminary sludy toward the possible driv- ing of new wells. ‘ To date, 73 A-frame tem- porary shelters have been built in various villages, in the devasted area—all at a cost of approximately $68 per tempor- ary shelter. Ata later date, the occupants of the shelters can use the A-frame structures as roofing material in the tradi- onal Indian manner of the area. The medical aspect of the project is also working well, - with a Guatemalan Doctor and an Indian paramedic working with .Canadian: medical sup- plies. % The Castlegar supporters of the Guatemala project intend to continue supporting the work of the resource centre and will continue to keep people informed as to the progress of their work, - Swans are Drawing Cards’ - For Visitors fo Creston “Fantastic” was the way one viewer described the sight of thousands of whistling swans during the first week of April at Creston. “Fantastic” was also the way a naturalist described public response to the special “swan walks”, to show people the great white birds in their annual migration. S, The Creston Valley wildlife “management area, a ‘joint pro- ject of the federal govern- ment and provincial fish and wildlife branch of the depart- ment of recreation and travel industry along with private participation, exists to maintain and manage precious marsh habitat for these and other waterfowl, And so the swans can continue to provide this spectacular display and people can continue to enjoy it. The swan walks are an annual part: of the nature interpretation program of the Creston Valley Wildlife Centre, a brand-new facility built and operated by the Canadian wild- life service to show people the « surrounding biotic region of the mountain valleys. The marshes and their wildlife are an important part of these mountain valleys and , each evening in the summer the Wildlife Centre's naturalists give talks, show slides, screen films or hold demonstrations for campers in Summit Creek Campground, operated by the management authority. So, if you missed this year's swan walk, put it on the calendar for next spring—or drop in during the summer to take part in other parts of the program. The habitat develop- ments on the management area are improving conditions’ for wildlife all the time and the Wildlife Centre is.there espec- ially to help people explore the valley.
