eight set by Boston Bruins in 1972 and equalled afterward by
five teams. The Sabres, until Dave Andreyehuk scored his

Her letter follows:

Dear citizens, of Castlegar:

It has hard to believe that almost a year has passed
since I arrived here in January 1983 as a Rotary exchange
student from Hamilton, New Zealand: I can still recall
how unfamiliar it was to turn light switches up for “on”
and down for “off,” or how much fon it was having snow
in my back yard, and the difficulty of driving on the right
side of the road. Throughout the: year, however, these
things have become very much a part of my life.

1 left New Zealand on Jan. 19 with 57 other Rotary
International Exchange students to begin a year in
Canada as an ambassador for my country — a year that
was to be full of new, interesting and exciting
experiences. | arrived in Castlegar with no idea of what
to expect but was quickly made to feel at home in your
town.

I settled quickly into the life of a Grade 12 student at
Stanley Humphries Secondary School, and as well,
became addicted to downhill skiing — a sport I had never
tried in New Zealand. After graduation and a summer of
travelling around B.C. and relaxing at Christina Lake, I
attended — with the assistance of the Castlegar Rotary
Club — the fall session at Selkirk College.

Here I took several university transfer courses
which will enable me to be more readily accepted into the
physiotherapy training program on my return to New
Zealand. .

My year as a Rotary Exchange student here has
been a great learning experience for me and I hope also
for those people that I have met and come to know.

I would like to thank you — the citizens of Castlegar
and of the surrounding cities and towns — for making me
feel s0 welcome during this past year. I will take home to
New Zealand many ft memories of the people I have
met and the friends I have made.

During my stay here I was also fortunate in having
had a visit from my parents, and my father made the
comment:

“I don't think that you could have come toa friendlier
community.”

I agree with him entirely.

Special thanks must go to my official hosts, the
Rotary. Club of Castlegar and particularly to the
wonderful Rotary families with whom I stayed: Jim and
Inga Lamont, Stan and Ruby Partridge, Wilf and Doris
Sweeney, Ron and Elaine Ross, John and Dorothy
Gourlay and Grant and Adele Parnell. I'll miss you all.

I also enjoyed meeting and speaking with various
clubs and organizations ineluding Mayor Audrey Moore

and members of her staff and council, the Beaver Valley
Rotary Club, the Trail Rotary Club and Rotary Anns, the
Nakusp Rotary Club and Rotary Anns, the Castlegar
Senior Citizens, several meetings with my host club and

from different-countries and cultures.

Once again, thank you for making 1983 — my year as
an exchange student — the best year of my life. I

sincerely hope that some of you will have the opportunity
to come “down under” to New Zealand one day.

Best wishes for the New Year
Yours and thanks

By MORLEY WILSON

One alarming word has been used to describe the long

term trend of mule deer populations in every area of the
West Kootenays — declining. It's a word that strikes fear
fnto the hearts of outdoorsmen

‘They know that if the trend is allowed ‘to continue

unchecked, hunting will have to stop. And beyond that? — a
vanished breed.

Hunting season is just over. With memories of what had

ahd, more importantly, had not been seen fresh in every-
‘one’s mind, a group of alarmed local sportsmen recently met
in a roundtable symposium in Trail to examine what's going
wrong and how to stop it.

Rick Fillmore, president of Trail Wildlife, spearheaded

discussion in the group made up of members of Trail and
Castlegar Wildlife Association, B.C. Wildlife, and the
Provincial Fish and Wildlife Branch.

AREAS OF DECLINE
Area by area the story was the same. For Shepherd

flats used to winter 400 to 500 deer in the 60s. Now despite a
concerted
control-burn brush and promote. growth of winter feed, the
count varies in the low hundreds. Across the valley in south
Columbia Gardens big dogs and dead carcasses was the
dismal story.

Trail Wildlife 12-year effort to annually

Rosslands’ first summit, Record Ridge and Sheep Creek

— formerly a hunters dream — are gone.

The vast areas of Salmo’s Erie Creek and Grassy

Mountain yielded a trickle of winter migration.

On the easterly slopes of the Lower Arrow a healthy

population has dwindled to “why-bother-to-look” status.
Across the lake on Renata flats, history's “see 200 anytime,”
is now “lucky to see 10.” Harassment from cougars and
coyotes is said to be heavy.

LOSS OF HABITAT
Although young deer are having a tough time getting

going, life isn't easy for the adults, Hunting pressure during
the November-December rut, new Jogging roads into retreat
areas coupled with go anywhere: 4x4’s and ATV's, en-
croaching urban sprawl into established migratory routes
and winter range, were all factors attributed to the human
element.

Since the beginning of time, lightning strikes have

been a major cause of forest fires. Lucky for the planet we
came along with all our skills and machines to put them out.
But then it was really doing OK before, and now it isn't.

Forest encroachment is becoming a key factor in the

West Kootenays. With no recent major forest fires,
deciduous and secondary evergreen are choking vast former
summer ranges.

In the Arrow Lakes valley thousands of acres of

essential valley bottom winter range has been flooded and

destroyed by a hydro project. During draw-dawn periods,

only drifting sand moves on the desert-like landscape.
‘The gFOup agreed that at the very least hunting had to .

becom mare limited and appropriate provincial body action
was mandatory to avert future disaster.
REQUESTS TO FORESTRY, FISH AND WILDLIFE:

© open the season on ravens

e develop and a road access
plan

increase wildlife habitat — burning/slashing in all
areas and specifically Deer Park and Sheep Creek

© pursue mitigation on Arrow Lakes lost habitat
(flooded foreshores) with B.C. Hydro

@ autopsy all road-kill does to determine pregnancy rate

e identify deer migration routes and limit future en-
croaching urban sprawl

e implement a two-tag (one mule deer, one white tail)
system

© close hunting season on Nov. 15 to allow the rut to
take place:

Both Trail and Castlegar Wildlife groups agreed to
conduct their winter range deer count today and input
results to game officials.

‘The mood at the end of the symposium. was subdued.

One hunter said reflectively: “It's time we realized it's a
privilege to buy a licence and a tag, not our right.
