The provincial government has cut the red tape that has hampered small, private hydroelectric plants from selling surplus power to West Kootenay Power and Light Co.

“This should encourage the development of more priv ately-sponsored small hydro projects in the Okanagan and Kootenays,” Energy Minister Jack Davis said in a prepared release.

Under the Utilities Com. mission Act, producers who generate electricity primar. ily for their own use become public utilities if they sell their surplus energy to any one other than B.C. Hydro.

To eliminate this regu latory burden, Davis has signed an order exempting from this regulation all pri vate power producers who sell up to 500 kilowatts of their surplus electricity to WEPL. A similar order ap. plying to surplus sales to B.C. Hydro was signed in 1982.

“I see an increasing role for small power producers in B.C.,” said Davis, “not only to West Kootenay Power and Light, but also to B.C. Hydro in areas now served by diesel generating units.”

Davis added that he would be reviewing legislation, “with an eye to further simp lification of regulations that now apply to electricity sales from private power pro- ducers.”

Library to honor volunteers

The Castlegar Library will hold its annual dinner and general meeting Feb. 1, in the Legion Hall at 6 p.m.

This dinner is held an- nually to honor the library's team of volunteers and to recognize publicly their con: tribution to the community.

The new slate of board members for the 1988 session will be elected at the general meeting.

services they need.

Our understanding of those needs comes from the fact that

FIRST-EVER SHRIKE

Naturalists tally birds

One aspect of the West Kootenay Naturalists is the involvement with the Boxing Day bird count, a subject that is getting more attention in the press, radio and TV each year, Even though the local count — because of geographic problems — is hot an official count, the results still go on to the Provincial Museum in Victoria and other environmental agencies to help'give a true picture of the health of ‘native birds.

This year on Dec. 29 — a cloudy day with 20 centimetres of snow and a -8C temperature — 43 members of the West Kootenay Naturalists walked and drove in prescribed areas within a limited time span counting all the birds visible at the time. The totals were compiled in a group that evening.

As in most years, there was a surprise or two. An ‘astern Blue Jay is a rarity at the best of times, but one was wintering at. Robson. A killdeer was spotted for the second straight year but a Logger-headed Shrike was a first-ever.

To many people, house sparrows, starlings and crows dominate any ideas of bird numbers, but the house sparrow with 53 individuals was well outnumbered by the Evening Grosbeak with 680, the starling with 232 was equally well beaten by the little Pine Siskin with 820, and the raven with 200 individuals well and truly beat out the crows with 28.

Complete figures show 76 different species with a total

count of 6,092 birds, and while the count varies up and down over the years for different varieties, any drastic change only shows up when these figures are added to similar figures from the entire North America.

In 1987, when a majority of votes were cast for the Stellar's Jay as British Columbia's official bird, Naturalists counted-119 of them in the area and the only other bird on the suggested list even seen was the little Dipper, with 21 observed.

It is still fascinating to watch this little grey bird walk along the bottom of Beaver Creek or the Salmo River in the ice-cold water with snow along the banks.

One of the members had the thrill of coming face to face with a Great Snowy Owl, an almost pure white bird standing 50 centimetres high with a wing span of 140. centimetres. This is about the absolute southern limits of its territory, which reaches well up into the high Arctic. ,

Later this month the Naturalists will hold its annual banquet and take part in ski and snowshoe outings, getting ready for flower and other rambles come spring.

It is hoped, through the labor of the club and some of its members, and with the co-operation of the forestry and parks ministries, a new walking park will open sometime in the summer of 1988 in the Castlegar region. The park will vie with the Mel DeAnna Trail as a nice place for a ramble in nature.

BURNS CELEBRATION . . . Piper Peter McQuaig and Highland dancers, Brenda Jones and Verity Hale provide entertainment at the Royal Canadian

Robbie

By JOHN CHARTERS

There was piping and highland dancing, toastings and merriment at the Royal Canadian Legion annual Burns supper last Saturday night. Under the careful organization of Judy Brown, Cathy Pepper and Bob Deptuck, the ceremonies began promptly at 6:30 p.m. though the majority of the seats were already filled a little after 6.

The evening opened with the formal piping in of the haggis, held high by bearer Mary Stewart, who was accompanied by two guards and the Scotch whiskey bearer, John Stewart.

Peter Young gave a spirited “Address to the Haggis” and Jack McLeod made the formal speech “Immortal Memory”, directed as always to some aspect of the life of Robbie Burns. The traditional toasts and response were made throughout the evening's celebration by Jim Leckie, Florence Laycock, Bill Watt and Diane Picket.

Events moved quickly under the direction of master of ceremonies, Albert Calderbank even though there was some question about his English accent and tartan

The most enthusiastic and deserved applause went to pipers Fred Walgren and John McQuaid of Castlegar and Highland dancers Brenda Jones and Verity Hale of Nelson, who gave several combined performances throughout the evening.

At the conclusion, McQuaig and Jones then_gave

The prize for the best-dressed Scottish lady went to Scottish dancing teacher and Judy Brown's mother, Katie Shaw of Trail, while John Charters of Castlegar received the award for the best dressed Highlander.

A special recogniton was given for their preparation and serving the excellent dinner.
