house event. This year will have a record number,
45 exhibitors. You remember 45’s don’t you?
Other records may be broken, like old 78’s, but in
a nice way, like last years’ attendance of 632, or
oysters barbie’d, opened and eaten, or coho smolts
carried down to Rosewall Creek by the cutest bucket brigade in the world. If
you’re younger than 33, all of these numbers may make no sense at all, but
you’ll still have fun. See more information and no more phonographic con-
tent on our full page ad here in the Flyer. And we’ll see you Sunday.
February was wet and March dry, April some of both, and spring is here
on the Island. Mother Nature came through it all about as well as she usually
does. We can tell you that because the early returns from the society’s three
counting stations are running even with last years’ and most of the years
previous. On Cook Creek, 262 wild coho smolts had left our Relic Channel
rearing ponds for salt water by mid-April. At Wilfred Creek’s fence and on
Mud Bay Creek, the numbers match 2018’s so far. Stream life like caddis fly
nymphs, a fish food, red legged frogs, a native species, and cutthroat trout
also get caught and counted. At Wilfred, that counting operation this year is
centered around a new welded aluminum fence built for FBSES by Carlisle
Services on Holiday Road, and the Wilfred Creek Boys have a big shout out
for Chester there. Still at Wilfred, the 750,000 pink eggs we received from
the Quinsam River DFO hatchery have become fry and hightailed it for sea.

T HE BEAUFORT WATERSHED STEWARDS (BWS)
WELL OF PLENTY OR EDGE OF CRISIS – the follow-up
On Sunday, April 7th, BWS, with the support of the Fanny Bay Communi-
ty Association, held a town hall meeting to discuss our water supply. The
attendance exceeded our most optimistic expectations. We had hoped for
50 or 60 and there were 130 people who showed up. Clearly, folks are con-
cerned about water. Pat Lapcevic and William Shulba each presented infor-
mation about aquifers in general. The information was detailed and high-
lighted the complexity of
water issues. After the
two speakers finished their

We billed this event as an intro to aquifers and watersheds. The title of
the event was “Well of Plenty or Edge of Crisis?” One common remark
afterwards was that this question hadn’t been answered during the presen-
tation. Unfortu-
nately, while the
title of the event
represents the
uncertainty sur-
rounding our
water in coming
years, we don’t
have the answer.
Our intent was to stimulate conversation about the problem. Clearly
we need more information and getting that information will take work.
We’re encouraged that so many people want to know the answer too. We
will continue, with your support, to press for answers, to gather data and to
advocate for our watersheds.
Please consider joining the BWS and contributing your ideas and support.
