CKCA 2019–2020 funded projects 

Over 150 arts and culture projects – including the 

Columbia Basin Culture Tour – have received a total 

of $750,000 in funding support for the 2019-2020 season 

through the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance 

(CKCA), in partnership with Columbia Basin 

Trust. 

Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance Chair Laura 

White commented, “Every year, I’m impressed by the 

scope of the projects for which applicants are seeking 

funding; there are artists taking their first steps 

towards becoming professionals, to individuals seeking 

support for major projects and everything in 

between. 

“The CKCA Steering Committee members are 

excited to see the projects that receive funding successfully 

bring their efforts to fruition. We are also 

very pleased to continue our relationship with 

Columbia Basin Trust, by fostering excellence in arts 

and culture and contributing to livable communities 

across the region.” 

Funding applications were adjudicated in May by 

the CKCA steering committee, with input from community 

arts councils. Support will go toward a wide 

range of projects, including individual and group 

projects, master classes, touring and major exhibition 

projects. 

“In the Columbia Basin, artists use many different 

mediums in their artistic endeavours,” said Michelle 

d’Entremont, manager, delivery of benefits, Columbia 

Basin Trust. “The Arts and Culture Program puts 

more wind in the sails of artistic and cultural efforts, 

supporting artists and organizations while adding 

vibrancy to Basin communities.” 

CKCA funding helps individuals and organizations 

realize arts and cultural projects across all arts disciplines, 

including visual art, theatre, music, dance, 

media, literature and inter-arts. For a list of funded 

projects, visit the CKCA website at www.basinculture. 

com or call 1-877-505-7355. 

Columbia Basin Trust supports efforts to deliver 

social, economic and environmental benefits to the 

residents of the Columbia Basin. To learn more about

Wildlife enhancement project 

BC Hydro is constructing a wildlife enhancement 

project in the drawdown zone of the Burton Flats. 

Construction is scheduled to begin in early September, 

pending all necessary permits. 

This project is expected to benefit nesting and 

migratory birds as well as other wildlife affected by 

reservoir operations. This will be accomplished by 

creating, protecting or enhancing habitat for Western 

Toad, nesting and migratory birds, amphibians and 

other wildlife. 

Project background: 

Two sites were originally being considered for this 

project – Burton Flats and Lower Inonoaklin. Burton 

Flats is located south of Nakusp, on the east side of 

the Arrow Lakes Reservoir and the Lower Inonoaklin 

site is located south of the Fauquier ferry on the west 

side of the reservoir. We decided to pursue the Burton 

Flats site because of a greater potential for benefits to 

wildlife. At this time, we have decided not to go ahead 

with the Lower Inonoaklin site, but may revisit this at 

a later date. 

Current status and next steps: 

Construction will take place in two phases. If conditions 

are suitable and we receive the necessary permits, 

we expect work on Phase One to begin at the 

beginning of September and be completed by the end 

of October: 

– Starting on Tuesday, September 3 crews will start 

mobilizing on site to construct the first phase of the 

project. During this time, crews will be on site from 7 

am to 7 pm, Monday through Saturday and from 8 am 

to 7 pm on Sundays. We anticipate that this work will 

be completed by late October. 

– Crews will also be on site during the second week 

of September to salvage some sedges that are located in 

the construction zone. These sedges will be replanted 

during the planting phase of the project. 

Support for wildlife: 

We have undertaken and are continuing to implement 

pre-construction monitoring at these sites 

and will continue to monitor post-construction 

at the Burton site. We are also currently conducting 

numerous studies under the Columbia River 

Water Use Plan to better understand the impacts of 

our Arrow Lakes Reservoir operations on a number 

of non-power values including vegetation, fish, 

wildlife, recreation and archaeology and help future 

decision making.

Open burning prohibitions 

amended in the southeast 

Effective as of noon (Pacific time) on Tuesday, September 

10, 2019, Category 2 and Category 3 open burning 

prohibitions within the Southeast Fire Centre’s jurisdiction 

will be amended, due to a decreased wildfire risk. 

A map of the affected areas is available online at www. 

ow.ly/2KIq30pvst3 

Category 2 Open Burn Permits: One or two concurrently 

burning piles, no larger than two metres high by 

three metres wide; and the burning of stubble or grass 

over an area less than 0.2 hectares. The use of fireworks, 

burn barrels, burn cages, sky lanterns and exploding 

binary targets will also be allowed. 

Category 3 Open Burning will be permitted throughout 

the Arrow, Kootenay Lake and Columbia fire zones 

within the Southeast Fire Centre’s jurisdiction. 

However, a Category 3 open burning prohibition will 

remain in effect for the Boundary, Invermere and Cranbrook 

fire zones, where the following activities are still 

prohibited: 

• Any fire larger than two metres high by three 

metres wide 

• Three or more concurrently burning piles no larger 

than two metres high by three metres wide 

• The burning of stubble or grass over an area greater 

than 0.2 hectares 

• The burning of one or more windrows 

Open Burning Precautions: Anyone planning to conduct 

a Category 2 or Category 3 open burn in the Southeast 

Fire Centre (where permitted) must do the following: 

• Check the local venting index (see website link 

below). The venting index must be “good” on the 

day the fire is lit and “good” or “fair” for the following 

day. 

• Follow the Open Burning Smoke Control Regulation. 

• Use safe burning practices: Create a fireguard 

around the planned fire site by clearing away twigs, 

grass, leaves and other combustible material; never 

leave a fire unattended; make sure that the fire is 

fully extinguished and the ashes are cold to the 

touch before leaving the area for any length of time. 

• Anyone planning to conduct a Category 3 burn 

must obtain a burn registration number ahead 

of time (at no charge) by calling 1-888-797-1717. 

Burn registration numbers are entered in the Open 

Fire Tracking System, which allows the BC Wildfire 

Service to track open burning activity throughout 

BC. 

• Check with local authorities (e.g. fire department, 

municipality or regional district) for any local 

restrictions or regulations. 

Anyone found in contravention of an open burning 

prohibition may be issued a ticket for $1,150, required 

to pay an administrative penalty of up to $10,000 or, if 

convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and/or sentenced 

to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes 

to a wildfire, the person responsible may be ordered 

to pay all firefighting and associated costs, as well as the 

value of resources damaged or destroyed by the wildfire. 

The Southeast Fire Centre encompasses the area extending 

from the United States border in the south to Mica 

Dam in the north and from the Okanagan Highlands and 

Monashee Mountains in the west to the BC – Alberta border 

in the east. The Southeast Fire Centre includes the Selkirk 

and Rocky Mountain natural resource districts. 

To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or open burning 

violation, call 1-800-663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a 

cellphone. For the latest information on current wildfire 

activity, burning restrictions, road closures and air quality 

advisories, go to www.bcwildfire.ca 

Venting index information is available by calling 1 -888- 

281-2992 or visiting www.env.gov.bc.ca/epd/epdpa/venting/

West Nile virus risk increases 

The mosquito species likely to carry West Nile virus is 

most active in August. West Nile virus is a disease that is 

spread from infected corvid birds (crows, ravens, magpies 

and jays) to humans through mosquito bites. It was first 

detected in BC in the South Okanagan during the summer 

of 2009. Since then there have been five human cases 

– all locally acquired in the Okanagan. Last year the virus 

was detected in birds and a horse in the East Kootenay 

area, confirming the virus is present there as well. Several 

parts of Canada and the US continue to report ongoing 

West Nile virus activity. 

The risk of infection from handling birds is very low; 

however, you should not use your bare hands to handle 

wild birds (dead or alive). If you need to move a dead bird, 

precautions should be taken. Unusual clusters of dead 

birds can be reported to the BC Interagency Wild Bird 

Mortality Investigation at 1-866-431-BIRD (2473). 

Mosquitoes can also transmit West Nile virus to horses 

and occasionally to other animals. Horse owners are 

advised to contact their veterinarians for information 

about equine vaccines for West Nile virus. 

The risk of becoming seriously ill from West Nile virus 

infection is low for most people; however, the elderly and 

those with compromised immune systems are more at risk. 

There are things everyone can do both at home and while 

travelling to reduce the risk of infection. Any activity that 

prevents mosquitoes from biting or breeding can help to 

reduce the risk of becoming infected with West Nile virus. 

Prevent mosquito breeding around your home. It 

doesn’t take much time or water for mosquitoes to develop 

from eggs into adults. Anything that can hold water 

can be a mosquito breeding area. Identify and remove 

potential breeding areas on your property – empty saucers 

under flowerpots; change water in bird baths twice 

a week; unclog rain gutters; drain tarps, tires and other 

debris where rain water may collect; and, install a pump in 

ornamental ponds or stock them with fish. Stagnant backyard 

pools can be a big source of mosquitoes and should 

be maintained regularly to prevent mosquito growth. 

Install screens on windows. Screens will help prevent 

mosquitoes from coming indoors. 

Avoid outdoor activities at dusk and dawn. This is the 

time of day the mosquitoes that can carry the virus are 

most active. 

Wear protective clothing. If you are in an area with 

lots of mosquitoes, wear loose fitting, light coloured, fulllength 

pants and a long-sleeved shirt. 

Use mosquito repellent. Apply mosquito repellent to 

areas of exposed skin. Check the product label for instructions 

on proper use. Repellents containing DEET are safe 

for those over six months of age when used according to 

the directions on the label. DEET-free products are available, 

but may not provide long-lasting protection. View 

the HealthLinkBC file on DEET (www.healthlinkbc.ca/ 

healthfiles/hfile96.stm) for guidelines on how frequently 

to apply repellent. 

Interior Health works closely with the BC Centre for 

Disease Control and Canadian Blood Services to monitor 

West Nile virus activity. Surveillance includes screening the 

blood supply and reporting human as well as animal cases.

SAR’s busiest month on record! 

The Kootenay based Search and Rescue team, based in 

one of the busiest adventure regions in the province, has 

recorded its busiest month ever. 

According to Stefan Lettrari, the organization’s president, 

the recent purchase of a vehicle and the structuring 

of specialist teams made the job a little easier. 

“We have a very strong team in Kaslo with a diverse 

set of skills and a group of very capable leaders,” said 

Lettrari, adding, “All our available assets were used on 

multiple occasions with multiple teams on different 

calls. The fact that we have a cohesive team allows us 

to deploy to different locations competently. The fact 

that we have a supportive community and government 

also ensures that we have the tools to do the job that 

the public expects,” For now and through the fall, the 

organization is regrouping and focusing on training for 

what is likely to be another busy season through the 

winter months. 

The group has the ability to respond to still and swift 

water incidents with the 501 Marine response unit on the 

lake, mountain rescue incidents with 502 and motor vehicle 

incidents and high angle rescues with unit 501. Additionally 

the boat crews are capable of dealing with marine 

environmental spills on inland lakes and waterways. 

While all the members of the team are multi-disciplined 

to some extent, specialist teams are forming to be able to 

respond too specific incidents in the mountains, on swift 

water or for long line access with a helicopter to stabilize 

and recover subjects from challenging environments as 

quickly as possible. 

If you are interested in joining Kaslo Search and Rescue, 

you can message them at their Facebook page or call 250- 

859-4893. In October, the organization will run a new 

Ground Search and Rescue Training program that is the 

initial certification required to join the team. For information 

contact: mirhorses@gmail.com 

The team would like to remind you that weather conditions 

in the fall can change rapidly, particularly at higher 

elevations, so whether you are driving, hiking, climbing 

or boating, make sure you stay up to date on weather forecasts 

and watch for indications of approaching systems 

that can change rapidly.

Film offers conversation on 

community spaces and homelessness 

On a bitterly cold night a large group of homeless men 

decide they’re not going to leave the public library at closing 

time. It hasn’t happened – but it could. 

That scenario is the subject of The Public a new film 

written by and starring Emelio Estevez. The Nelson Public 

Library and Nelson at its Best have joined forces to screen 

the film on Tuesday, October 1 at 7 pm at the Nelson Civic 

Theatre. Following the movie will be a panel discussion on 

the topic of public libraries, homelessness and safe spaces. 

In The Public, what begins as a nonviolent sit-in as 

shelter from the elements soon escalates into a standoff 

with police led by a crisis negotiator (Alec Baldwin) and 

a savvy district attorney (Christian Slater) – who has his 

own agenda. In the middle are two librarians, played by 

Emilio Estevez and Jena Malone. The film puts a face to 

people living on the margins of society. 

Panel moderator George Chandler of Nelson at its Best 

sees the screening as a unique opportunity to consider 

and discuss an important topic. “A strong value of this 

film is that it reflects ongoing daily realities in the word, 

including our community. It also populates big issues of 

homelessness, isolation and poverty with humanity – 

everyone has their own story and we are invited to see 

them as human beings, no matter what appearances or 

our own viewpoints might initially tell us.” 

Panelists include Cheryl Dowden from Ankors, Chief 

Constable Paul Burkart of the Nelson City Police, Tracey 

Therrien, Chief Librarian for the Nelson Public Library 

and Jeremy Kelly from Nelson Street Outreach, who has 

also experienced homelessness. 

“The Nelson Library is many things in our community: 

educational resource, literacy champion, social hub and 

a safe place for those who need it,” says Tracey Therrien. 

“Our library users come from every walk of life; this is a 

very relevant conversation for us and for the community.” 

Admission is by donation.

Instructor Ross White (middle) and first-year students show off the 

haul rope samples provided by industry leader Fatzer. 

Ski program receives classroom tools 

Future leaders in the outdoor recreation industry 

attending Selkirk College’s Ski Resort Operations 

& Management (SROAM) program have received 

a learning boost from the world’s leading haul rope 

manufacturer. 

Headquartered in Switzerland, Fatzer specializes in 

steel wire rope innovation and production for a variety 

of industries from mining and fishing to road bridges and 

ski lifts. This summer, the company sent a steel box full of 

haul rope samples that is now being used to help learners 

at Selkirk College. 

“It’s important to have this kind of support from the 

industry,” says SROAM instructor Ross White. “Our 

students will graduate into an environment that is everchanging 

and to have global leading companies like 

Fatzer providing these classroom tools helps tremendously.” 

White is a local ski industry veteran who has 

been teaching at Selkirk College since 2006. The former 

manager of outdoor operations at Whitewater Ski 

Resort, White mentors students in a variety of different 

facets including teaching the Ski Lift Maintenance 

course. 

Prior to the Fatzer donation of leading edge haul rope 

technology, White was using sections of the former Summit 

Chair at Whitewater that was not current with what 

graduating students will see at today’s resorts. “Our learners 

need to see physical objects to be able to relate to what 

we are teaching,” says White, who is also a Red Seal millwright. 

“Visual aids and teaching tools help get the message 

home and students get it a lot quicker.” 

The Selkirk College SROAM program is heading into its 

40th year of providing the education, skills and training 

required for graduates to succeed in all aspects of the ski 

industry from snowmaking and terrain park operations 

to guest services and marketing to ski patrol and general 

management. It is now the only program of its kind in 

Canada and draws students from around the world who 

come to study on Selkirk College’s Tenth Street Campus 

in Nelson. 

The program receives ongoing support from the industry 

in a variety of ways including an advisory board that 

meets with faculty and students on an annual basis. 

Alumni from the program can be found in key positions 

across Canada and the world. Learn more about the Ski 

Resort Operations & Management program at www.selkirk.ca/ski

Help keep finances safe online 

While digital navigation has become an essential skill, 

it also comes with its own set of dangers. From online 

banking and mobile apps, to online shopping and credit 

and debit cards, it’s important that you take precautions to 

keep your personal and financial information safe. 

Whether you’re looking to beef up your own security 

or teach your kids cyber awareness, here are some simple 

strategies for creating strong passwords: 

Get Creative. While each login will have different password 

requirements that you must adhere to, it’s a best 

practice to include numbers, symbols, capital and lowercase 

letters. And think of out-of-the-box ways to incorporate 

these. Avoid the use of full words and anything that 

relates to your personal information, such as names and 

birthdates. 

Differentiate. Using different credentials for every login 

is a great way to help keep your information – and yourself 

– secure. To help with remembering numerous passwords, 

track them as soon as you create a new account in 

a secure password keeper. 

Go Beyond The Bare Minimum. There is often a minimum 

requirement of eight characters for passwords. 

Try surpassing this with 12 or more characters to create 

another layer of complexity. 

Share Smart. All of these password creation tips 

are especially important when using mobile or online 

banking, which is a great way to manage finances. Remind 

older children to never give out any personal banking 

information to anyone, even if they claim to be a banking 

representative. It is a good idea to have record of your 

teen’s passwords and online banking information. Be a 

safety net in case there’s trouble.

Would your acreage 

benefit from soil amendment? 

Mercer Celgar is looking for landowners with 2 or more acres 

within 55 km of Castlegar that would benefit from using their 

Celgrow soil amendment. Pastures and hay fields are good options. 

Mercer Celgar will cover the costs of a qualified professional performing 

soil sampling, obtaining government authorization and 

delivery costs of Celgrow soil amendment based on access with a 

large truck/pup combination. Acreage should be able to accommodate 

at least 6 truck/pup loads. The two major components of 

Celgrow are individual wood fibres lost from the pulping process 

and surplus bacteria from the wastewater biological treatment 

facility. Wood fibres enhance soil moisture retention and bacteria 

are a good source of soil nutrients. The landowner is responsible 

for spreading and incorporating Celgrow into their soil.

experiences that our children and youth have the opportunity 

to be involved in. 

I’m proud to present our team of dedicated educators

Our work is challenging, complicated, engaging and 

rewarding. Personally, my aims in education are to help 

develop:

• involvement in learning; 

• effort that leads to success; and 

• appreciation for what we have and who supports 

each of us.

Rest In Peace, Blue 

(1951-2019) 

Melanie ‘Blue’ Vershave peacefully passed away 

in my arms at a time of her own choosing on 

September 17th in Kaslo BC. Blue is now at 

rest after a brave fight with cancer. Blue is survived 

by her son Stephane, cousin Steve Brock 

and myself, her husband Murray. 

Blue loved animals and growing flowers, while 

her infectious smile and occasional ‘Blueisms’ 

always brought joy to those lucky enough to be 

around her. 

Blue and I both want to thank all those who 

offered loving support during her life and 

in helping Blue leave her mortal body with 

the grace and dignity of the lady she is while 

knowing she is not alone. 

There will be a reception to celebrate Blue’s life 

at a later date. Thank you all for your caring. 

Until we meet again Blue…. I’ve got your six. 

With love, Murray

Perry 

Bauer © 

A long time Kootenay 

resident, passed away 

on September 11, 2019, 

in the midst of dear 

family members. He 

lived life with warmth, 

humour, and of course a 

bit of the cantankerous. 

He will be remembered for his gum boots, 

suspenders and copious ear hair, among other 

wonderful things. 

A good way to honour Perry is to make up your own 

joke and share it at an appropriate or inappropriate 

time, or for those of a more quiet disposition, find 

a wonderful rock and rub it with good feeling for 

another and then share it with them. 

In lieu of any formalities, his family would be 

touched if you shared something you grew in your 

garden with someone you love or someone 

who needs it, as he often did.

(KLLCF) funding is available for conservation projects that result in the 

reduction to a known threat to biodiversity. The themes for the Fund 

are water conservation, wildlife and habitat conservation, and aquatic 

systems conservation. 

Projects that are technically sound and effective, and provide value 

for money through partnerships with other funders will be given 

priority. Proponents must be a registered not-for-profit organization, 

First Nations band or local government. Unqualified groups or 

organizations may partner with a qualified organization. 

A Technical Review Committee will review project proposals and 

make recommendations to the RDCK for final funding approval. 

To apply for funding, go to www.kootenayconservation.ca/kllcf

Simba 

Simba is a beautiful 4-month-old short haired classic orange tabby male kitten, 

who came to us very recently as a single stray. He was super shy and 

scared; at the first sight of people, he would give this squeaky cry and hiss. 

Yet after being touched, he would bunt you with his head for more. Now this 

Lion King is quick to purr, rolls over for belly rubs, and is starting to shine! He 

is a very handsome long-legged noble character. If you are patient and gentle, 

this kitten will certainly come out of his shell for you! Come meet Simba!

to trim your trees, especially those close to the house, 

garage or shed. 

Clear old plants and weeds from your garden bed or 

pots to make it easier for spring planting and keep insects 

at bay. If not using winterized pots, bring them indoors. 

Clear leaves from the lawn, aerate and consider a fall 

fertilizing. 

Decks and garden furniture will need a good cleaning 

and, if appropriate, staining. Don’t forget to properly store 

cushions and outdoor tablecloths so that they can be used 

again next season. Garden tools also need a good cleaning 

or wipe down before storing for the winter. 

Moving Inside: Plan and prepare before you start. Make 

sure you have reusable boxes and bags on hand and create 

some storage space indoors or out. If outside, make sure 

the space is sheltered. Organize room by room. When 

swapping out seasonal clothes in your closet, take some 

time to make sure you still need or use each item. If not, 

recycle or donate it. 

Keep in mind that you can donate unwanted clothing, 

textiles and small household items, such as small garden 

tools, instead of throwing them out. Charitable organizations 

are always looking for donations.

Test Internet connectivity 

performance! 

Residents in the Columbia Basin and Boundary regions 

are being urged to try out a new online testing portal 

which is designed to measure Internet connection speeds. 

“The Regional Broadband Committee has been working 

to get a better understanding of current broadband services 

and to advocate for high-speed Internet for residents 

and businesses within the Columbia Basin and Boundary 

regions,” explains Regional Broadband Committee Chair 

Rob Gay. “This online portal will provide us with specific 

data and give us a much clearer picture of the true state of 

our current connectivity.” 

Residents can access the testing portal and run the performance 

test as many times as they would like and the 

Committee is hoping to see strong participation. “The 

more data we collect, the greater our understanding will 

be. We are hoping to see people from every geographic 

corner of the region participate,” says Gay. 

The data will not only be helpful in providing the Committee 

with valuable data, it will also help to prioritize 

areas of need and be useful in determining eligibility for 

federal and provincial connectivity granting programs. 

Although there has been some work done to identify the 

state of connectivity in rural regions such as ours, to date 

there is a shortage of accurate and quantifiable data. “This 

performance test will help us close that data gap and we 

strongly encourage residents to log in at least once,” adds 

Gay. 

The online portal can be accessed at https://performance.cira.ca/columbiabasin 

Participants provide their 

location and hit start. The test takes less than two minutes 

to run. 

The Regional Broadband Committee was established in 

2014 and includes elected officials from Columbia Shuswap 

Regional District, Ktunaxa Nation Council, Regional 

District of Central Kootenay, Regional District of East 

Kootenay, Regional District of Kootenay Boundary and 

Village of Valemount.
