Shift Happens<br />

Ana Je ff<br />

“Shift Happens!” I<br />

yelled to nobody in<br />

particular as I bolted<br />

upright in bed. I had<br />

been contemplating<br />

a spoken word radio<br />

program for some<br />

time, but was unsure<br />

how I would differentiate<br />

it from the rest.<br />

I knew that I wanted<br />

it to be positive in<br />

nature: with a background<br />

in broadcasting<br />

I was all too<br />

familiar with the<br />

gloom and doom tendencies<br />

of mainstream<br />

news.<br />

Inspired, I got to<br />

work with my partner<br />

Ana Bokstrom,<br />

highlighting the challenging,<br />

yet positive<br />

shifts in people’s lives<br />

within this community<br />

and from around<br />

the world. That was six<br />

years and 300+ shows<br />

ago, airing twice a<br />

week from Kootenay<br />

Co-op Radio in Nelson,<br />

Tuesdays from 2<br />

- 4 pm, and repeating<br />

Sundays 11 - 1 pm.<br />

We value the ears<br />

and the voices of our<br />

growing listenership<br />

and welcome and<br />

encourage you to contribute<br />

your own show<br />

ideas at shifthappens.<br />

From all of us at the <strong>Pennywise</strong><br />

<br />

CALGARY ROUTE NOW APPROVED!<br />

Why is it called Boxing Day?<br />

Boxing Day is named after a British tradition that<br />

was first mentioned in Samuel Pepys’ diary in<br />

1663. The servants of the nobility were allowed<br />

to take the day after Christmas off to visit their<br />

families. The employers would give each servant<br />

a box to take home containing gifts, bonuses, and<br />

sometimes leftover food. Kinda like a yuletide tip!<br />

indicators for<br />

the Columbia-Basin<br />

Boundary.<br />

“RDI is continuing<br />

to provide<br />

research<br />

on well-being<br />

to support evidence-based<br />

decision making<br />

across the<br />

Columbia<br />

Basin-Boundary,”<br />

says Dr.<br />

Adela Tesarek<br />

Kincaid, Rural<br />

Development<br />

Institute lead<br />

researcher at<br />

Selkirk College. “The suite of<br />

State of the Basin research initiatives<br />

will continue to assist<br />

local communities by providing<br />

relevant and reliable data.”<br />

The check-up is important to<br />

residents, organizations, businesses<br />

and local governments to<br />

understand present conditions<br />

and trends.<br />

The data in the<br />

report informs<br />

decision making<br />

that shapes<br />

the future of<br />

the communities<br />

in the<br />

region.<br />

Some examples<br />

of the<br />

data in the<br />

2019 Snapshot<br />

Report<br />

includes:<br />

• Population projections to<br />

2041 show a decrease in population<br />

for those under the age of<br />

64, while the population over<br />

65 is projected to grow by 40%.<br />

• There were 729 business<br />

starts in the region in 2018 and<br />

a 3.4% job vacancy rate.<br />

• The 2018 forest fire season<br />

resulted in 151 fires that<br />

burned 72,856 hectares within<br />

our region.<br />

• There are more than 180<br />

annual festivals or special<br />

events within the Columbia-<br />

Basin Boundary.<br />

The 2019 Snapshot Report is<br />

part of the State of the Basin<br />

Initiative that monitors and<br />

reports on indicators of social,<br />

economic, cultural and environmental<br />

well-being in the<br />

Columbia-Basin Boundary.<br />

The initiative helps inform<br />

citizens and organizations<br />

through access to accurate,<br />

credible and timely information;<br />

encourage understanding<br />

of complex issues; signal<br />

areas to celebrate achievements<br />

or identify challenges; and<br />

Andrea Superstein<br />

jazzes <strong>Rossland</strong><br />

Andrea brings her modern take on<br />

jazz to <strong>Rossland</strong> this January! ‘Super,’<br />

as she is affectionately known, is an<br />

award-winning vocalist, composer<br />

and arranger with lots of heart. She<br />

has a unique approach to songwriting<br />

and it comes out in her work.<br />

Her performances showcase powerful<br />

vocals that exemplify both the<br />

gentle and the strong, the light and<br />

the dark. They lithely navigate the<br />

colours of the emotional spectrum<br />

from despair to joy, deep blues to<br />

pop confection, often in the same<br />

song. She’s in <strong>Rossland</strong> to perform at<br />

the Miners’ Hall on January 11.<br />

On stage is perhaps where Superstein<br />

shines the brightest. She<br />

commands every room she plays,<br />

conducting an unforgettable musical<br />

experience with a combination of<br />

humour, charm, razor-sharp wit and<br />

a sincere connection with her audience.<br />

A truly interactive experience.<br />

Superstein’s debut at the Vancouver<br />

International Jazz Festival earned<br />

her a nomination for a Galaxie Rising<br />

Star award and she later shared<br />

the stage with Canadian female<br />

heavyweights Laila Biali and Brandi<br />

Disterheft.<br />

Superstein’s latest offering, Worlds<br />

Apart showcases her true gifts as a<br />

vocalist, composer and arranger. The<br />

album consists primarily of original<br />

music in an impressive three languages<br />

(English, French, Hebrew),<br />

rounded out by fresh arrangements<br />

of classic jazz standards. It celebrates<br />

her upbringing in Quebec, current<br />

home in Vancouver and Jewish heritage.<br />

With jazz luminary Elizabeth<br />

Shepherd as producer and arranger,<br />

the new record brings Superstein’s<br />

fresh, modern ideas to the forefront.<br />

She breathes the here and now into<br />

the classics, while brushing authenticity<br />

into every note of every new<br />

song she writes. Her stylistic range is<br />

only surpassed by her uncanny ability<br />

to use dynamics to create a lush<br />

musical experience rife with emotion:<br />

deep, raw and always heartfelt.<br />

Join the RCAC for the next offering<br />

in their 2019/20 Performance<br />

Series on Saturday, January 11 at 7:30<br />

pm. Sponsored by Teck <strong>Trail</strong> Operations,<br />

Andrew John Porter<br />

1934-2019<br />

Peacefully and surrounded by his<br />

loving family, Andrew John Porter<br />

passed away on <strong>Dec</strong>ember 11, 2019<br />

in <strong>Trail</strong>, BC. Andy was born in<br />

Vancouver, BC. on <strong>Dec</strong>ember 2, 1934<br />

to parents Mary and Andy.<br />

Andy grew up in <strong>Trail</strong> and started his<br />

career as a butcher working for his<br />

uncle. He moved to Kaslo in 1956<br />

where he met the love of his life Betty<br />

(Aldous). They were married in 1957.<br />

Andy and Betty owned and operated<br />

Eric’s Meat Market for 40 years before<br />

passing the torch to their son Doug.<br />

After retirement Andy enjoyed doing<br />

woodworking projects, trips with<br />

family and watching sports. Andy and<br />

Betty often made the 4 hour round<br />

trip from Kaslo to <strong>Trail</strong> to watch their<br />

grandsons play hockey or baseball. His<br />

grandsons were his pride and joy. Andy<br />

will be remembered for his great sense<br />

of humour, his love of life, family and<br />

all the people he met along the way. He<br />

welcomed everyone to his home and<br />

would most likely offer them a beer!<br />

Andy was predeceased by his sister<br />

Rosemary Christensen, brothers-inlaw<br />

Charlie Christensen and Charlie<br />

Klein.<br />

Left to mourn his loss are his wife<br />

Betty, son Doug (Denise), daughter<br />

Holly (Derrick) Bouma; grandsons<br />

Erik (Morgan), and Luke (Alexa);<br />

step-granddaughters Jennifer, Shauna<br />

(Ryan), and Tara (Yoeun); sister-inlaw<br />

Ruth Klein; nieces and nephews<br />

Karen (Ed), Rick, Kathy (Andre), Joan<br />

(Brad), Ron (Deanne) and Jennifer<br />

(Gary).<br />

A celebration of life will be held at a<br />

later date in Kaslo, BC. Eric Toneff of<br />

Alternatives Funeral and Cremation<br />

Services has been entrusted with<br />

arrangements.<br />

Donations in Andy’s memory may be<br />

made to the Parkinson Society of BC.<br />

You are invited to leave a personal<br />

message of condolence at the family’s<br />

online register at www.myalternatives.ca<br />

Andy’s family would like to thank the<br />

staff at Rosewood Village for their<br />

care and compassion. We will be<br />

forever grateful. Also thank you for<br />

your kindness to Betty, who faithfully<br />

visited every day. We all appreciate<br />

that too.<br />

Andy, Dad, Grandpa you will be<br />

forever loved and forever missed. You<br />

will always be our hero and the wind<br />

beneath our wings.<br />

Meet Boswell, our chirping long-haired black and white tuxedo.<br />

This chill cat is one of the friendliest, most social cats we have<br />

sheltered here. While he has as good an appetite for food as he has<br />

for affection, he would give up food if he had to choose between<br />

the two. He also loves to have his amazing hair brushed, just not<br />

down around by his back legs. He has an unusual undercoat of<br />

white fur. If you want joy for the holidays, come in to find Boswell<br />

Local waterbodies remain free of<br />

invasive Zebra and Quagga Mussels<br />

in 2019. The Central Kootenay Invasive<br />

Species Society (CKISS) recently<br />

received the good news! From June<br />

through October 2019, CKISS staff<br />

conducted plankton and substrate<br />

sampling for zebra and quagga mussels<br />

(ZQM) within West and Central<br />

Kootenay waterbodies. A total of<br />

286 plankton samples were collected<br />

from eight waterbodies in the region.<br />

The samples were sent to a provincial<br />

lab for analysis and the results are<br />

in: all the samples came back negative<br />

for free-swimming, microscopic<br />

ZQM larvae called veligers.<br />

Trust CEO looks<br />

ahead to 2020<br />

This coming year the Trust is turning<br />

25. It’s a chance to celebrate all<br />

that we have been able to accomplish<br />

together with people and communities.<br />

It’s also a time to recognize and<br />

honour those who saw an opportunity<br />

in 1995 to create this unique, regional<br />

organization that would support the<br />

efforts by the people of the Columbia<br />

Basin to create a legacy of social,<br />

economic and environmental wellbeing<br />

in the region most affected by<br />

the Columbia River Treaty. The focus<br />

then was on the future and in this<br />

coming year, we’ll be asking residents<br />

to look ahead to the next 25 years.<br />

We are entering the last year of<br />

our five-year Columbia Basin Management<br />

Plan. This plan sets out 13<br />

primary strategic priorities and has<br />

shaped our programming and initiatives<br />

since 2016. Last year, we delivered<br />

a record $62.6 million in benefits<br />

to our communities through more<br />

than 70 programs and initiatives supporting<br />

over 1,750 projects.<br />

The Trust supports regional priorities<br />

that enhance our quality of life<br />

and make this region such a desirable<br />

place to live. Significant investments<br />

in affordable housing, creating techenabled<br />

spaces, broadband, ecosystem<br />

enhancement and environmental<br />

education, child care and arts, culture<br />

and heritage are only a few examples<br />

of the work we are doing to support<br />

regional priorities.<br />

The Trust’s focus as we move into<br />

2020 is engaging with people in the<br />

Columbia Basin about their bold and<br />

innovative ideas for the future of this<br />

region. We’ve already started some of<br />

the engagement by speaking with our<br />

board, staff and advisory committees.<br />

Starting in the spring, we will be hosting<br />

conversations in communities<br />

and online about where people see<br />

opportunities.<br />

What will this plan look like? What<br />

are we hoping to achieve? What can<br />

we learn from the past that will inform<br />

how we work in the future? What do<br />

we want our region to look like five,<br />

10, 15, even 25 years from now? These<br />

questions will form the basis of our<br />

discussions with residents in 2020.<br />

Watch for more details at engage.ourtrust.org.<br />

Lastly, the Trust will be hosting our<br />

symposia in the fall. For the first time<br />

we are hosting the events in two locations<br />

to allow more people to take<br />

part. One in <strong>Trail</strong>, October 2 to 4 and<br />

one in Golden October <strong>23</strong> to 25. It<br />

will also mark the final stage of our<br />

community engagement process and<br />

the start of reporting back on what we<br />

heard. Save the date and visit symposium.ourtrust.org<br />

for more details.<br />

“2020 will be an exciting year and<br />

I look forward to celebrating and<br />

engaging with people from <strong>Rossland</strong><br />

to Fernie to Valemount,” says Johnny<br />

Strilaeff, president and chief executive<br />

officer of Columbia Basin Trust.<br />

Campaign challenges<br />

stigma<br />

According to a BC survey conducted<br />

by Insights West in 2018,<br />

more than 70% of respondents felt<br />

people living with dementia experience<br />

stigma.<br />

Stigma <strong>–</strong> which is negative attitudes<br />

and misconceptions held by<br />

family, friends and professionals <strong>–</strong><br />

can be a barrier that prevents people<br />

from seeking out a diagnosis if they<br />

are beginning to see possible symptoms,<br />

or it may keep them from<br />

accessing services.<br />

This January, residents of Castlegar<br />

and other West Kootenay communities<br />

are invited to take part<br />

in Alzheimer’s Awareness Month,<br />

a national campaign focused on<br />

changing the general public’s perceptions<br />

of what it means to live<br />

with Alzheimer’s disease and other<br />

dementias. Changing perceptions is<br />

key to reducing stigma, which ultimately<br />

supports people living with<br />

dementia to stay active and engaged<br />

in the community.<br />

The Alzheimer Society of BC connects<br />

people living with dementia,<br />

their caregivers and family members<br />

to support and education at any<br />

point in the disease through First<br />

Link® dementia support.<br />

Castlegar and other West Kootenay<br />

residents can connect to support<br />

by asking their healthcare provider<br />

for a referral or by calling the First<br />

Link® Dementia Helpline at 1-800-<br />

936-6033. To learn more about<br />

David Suzuki bringing<br />

climate talk to <strong>Trail</strong><br />

“The way we see the world shapes<br />

the way we treat it.” That’s a quote<br />

from David Suzuki who is coming<br />

to <strong>Trail</strong> on May 1, 2020 to speak at<br />

a public event at the <strong>Trail</strong> Memorial<br />

Centre.<br />

An evening with David Suzuki -<br />

‘Human impact on our environment’<br />

will feature his observations about<br />

our collective impact on the environment<br />

and what we need to do to<br />

address the climate crisis.<br />

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity<br />

to hear one of Canada’s most<br />

respected scientists and environmental<br />

advocates share his insights<br />

and experiences in a no-nonsense,<br />

exciting and enlightening evening,<br />

in person. There will also be a<br />

question and answer period after his<br />

presentation.<br />

Bill Van Beek is chair of the Lower<br />

Columbia Community Development<br />

Team Society (LCCDTS) and their<br />

sustainability committee is organizing<br />

Dr. Suzuki’s visit. “The outcome<br />

we hope to see from this event is help<br />

with building capacity in our communities<br />

to be able to address ideas<br />

of how we can have an impact on the<br />

climate crisis. This is an opportunity<br />

to us, for our communities, to take<br />

the initiative and take steps to build a<br />

stronger and more resilient economy<br />

and healthy communities,” he says.<br />

Suzuki’s theme is the anthropocene,<br />

the current geological age<br />

when human activity has been the<br />

dominant influence on climate and<br />

the environment. Humanity has<br />

experienced massive growth and<br />

change in population, science, technology,<br />

consumption and economics<br />

that have endowed us with the power<br />

to alter the biological, physical and<br />

chemical properties of the planet.<br />

Now we have to decide how we<br />

respond to the climate crisis and how<br />

we change course again to reduce our<br />

impact and achieve sustainability.<br />

Morag Carter is executive director<br />

of the Community Skills Centre<br />

and chairs the LCCDTS sustainability<br />

committee. She worked for the<br />

David Suzuki Foundation for several<br />

years and asked him to come to <strong>Trail</strong><br />

and speak.<br />

“Throughout his career, Dr. Suzuki<br />

has been a passionate advocate for a<br />

healthy environment and for healthy<br />

people, especially children. We’re<br />

thrilled that he is able to come back<br />

to the Kootenays next year,” Carter<br />

says.<br />

Suzuki will also be speaking in an<br />

exclusive engagement with grade 11<br />

and 12 students earlier in the day.<br />

“We’re bringing 700 students and<br />

staff to the Charles Bailey Theatre<br />

from area high schools to spend time<br />

learning with Dr. Suzuki,” Carter<br />

adds.<br />

Tickets for the evening event are<br />

available at the Charles Bailey Theatre<br />

box office and online www.trailarts.com<br />

Distraction: Dangerous,<br />

Careless, Preventable<br />

It’s a scene that is far too familiar<br />

on roads across Canada: a cell phone<br />

sounds an alert, the driver reaches<br />

for the phone and in the short time<br />

it takes to read the screen, a collision<br />

has occurred.<br />

Distracted driving is a trend on the<br />

rise, a dangerous and life-threatening<br />

behaviour that must be stopped. To<br />

mark this year’s National Safe Driving<br />

Week, the Canada Safety Council and<br />

the Insurance Brokers Association of<br />

Canada (IBAC) share a crucial message:<br />

Distraction behind the wheel is<br />

entirely preventable. Just don’t do it.<br />

The statistics: Distracted driving<br />

tatistics are understated because disraction<br />

isn’t always easy to prove. In<br />

atal accidents where distraction was<br />

possible factor, there may not be<br />

vidence of phone usage or, sadly, a<br />

iving witness to tell the story. This<br />

as resulted in a significant undereporting<br />

of the issue <strong>–</strong> still, the data<br />

urrently available reveals staggering<br />

umbers.<br />

According to Transport Canada,<br />

istraction was a contributing factor<br />

n 21% of fatal collisions and 27% of<br />

ollisions resulting in serious injury<br />

n 2016. Comparatively, those numers<br />

were reported at 16 and 22%<br />

espectively, in 2006.<br />

The Canadian Council of Motor<br />

ransportation Administrators<br />

CCMTA) provides further context<br />

o these numbers: 1.7% of fatal colliions<br />

and 1.9% of collisions resulting<br />

n serious injury involved electronic<br />

ommunication devices between<br />

010<strong>–</strong>14. While more recent statisics<br />

are not available, the prevalence<br />

f mobile devices in today’s society<br />

akes it a reasonable assumption that<br />

hese numbers, too, are on the rise.<br />

And if you’re fortunate enough<br />

o avoid injury or fatality, you’ll still<br />

e subject to fines and potentially<br />

emerit points depending on your<br />

rovince.<br />

To further compound the financial<br />

osts, your auto insurance premiums<br />

ould sharply increase if you’re found<br />

o have been operating a vehicle while<br />

istracted.<br />

“Insurance is all about risk and disracted<br />

driving is an extremely risky<br />

ehavior,” said Peter Braid, Chief<br />

xecutive Officer of IBAC. “That’s<br />

hy insurance brokers are partnering<br />

with the Canada Safety Council to<br />

raise awareness of the danger and<br />

encourage drivers to keep their eyes<br />

on the road. The stakes are high <strong>–</strong><br />

death, injury, property damage, fines<br />

and rising insurance premiums.<br />

Whatever the distraction, it’s not<br />

worth the risk.”<br />

The challenge: The challenge in<br />

addressing this issue is cognitive dissonance<br />

and, where distracted driving<br />

is concerned, willingly engaging<br />

in behaviours that are known to contribute<br />

to the likelihood of collisions.<br />

Studies in provinces across Canada<br />

have borne out the same result: a<br />

majority of drivers understand that<br />

distracted driving is dangerous and<br />

illegal; yet, the same respondents<br />

report using their devices behind the<br />

wheel anyway.<br />

“Personal accountability is a major<br />

component of society’s role in reducing<br />

distracted driving deaths,” said<br />

Gareth Jones, president of the Canada<br />

Safety Council. “If you’re in the majority<br />

of road users who understand the<br />

risks, you owe it to your family and<br />

to fellow road users to put the phone<br />

away and otherwise minimize distractions.<br />

It’s a choice that each of us<br />

has completely within our control.<br />

Building a culture of safe driving happens<br />

one person and one decision at a<br />

time, so let’s choose well.”<br />

Other types of distraction: While<br />

the topic of distracted driving is often<br />

discussed in the context of texting and<br />

calling behind the wheel, other forms<br />

of distraction exist and can also be<br />

harmful. Distracted driving is characterized<br />

as any action that removes<br />

your focus from the road. This can<br />

include eating, adjusting music, heat<br />

or GPS, applying makeup and interacting<br />

with passengers in the vehicle.<br />

Tips to avoid distraction behind the<br />

wheel:<br />

• Put your phone on silent or<br />

on Do Not Disturb mode. You<br />

won’t be tempted by an alert<br />

you don’t hear.<br />

• Even better, use an app or a<br />

built-in function that activates<br />

a Do Not Disturb feature<br />

automatically when connected<br />

to your vehicle’s Bluetooth<br />

or when increased speed is<br />

detected.<br />

• Out of sight, out of mind <strong>–</strong> put<br />

your phone in a glove compartment,<br />

a zipped purse or<br />

knapsack, or even the back<br />

seat.<br />

• Make sure to leave enough<br />

time in your schedule to eat<br />

and groom before getting in<br />

the car.<br />

• Ensure that your temperature,<br />

music and GPS are set before<br />

you leave.<br />

• If it’s really that important, pull<br />

over.<br />

Above all else, remember that driving<br />

is a potentially deadly task that<br />

requires your full attention. You<br />

wouldn’t take a call while operating<br />

a bulldozer; why do the same with<br />

a vehicle capable of going at much<br />

higher speeds?<br />

Light Up the Hospital!<br />

Your donation to this year’s Light Up<br />

the Hospital! campaign will allow us<br />

to purchase an ultrasound machine to<br />

perform cardiac ultrasounds.<br />

A cardiac ultrasound, or echocardiogram,<br />

is a painless test which<br />

uses sound waves to provide detailed<br />

images of the valves, muscles and<br />

chambers of the heart to aid in diagnosis,<br />

treatment and follow up in patients<br />

with suspected or known heart disease.<br />

Echocardiograms are one of the<br />

most widely used diagnostic tests in<br />

cardiology and are essential to early<br />

diagnosis of cardiac issues. There are<br />

currently approximately 95 echocardiograms<br />

performed every month at<br />

Kootenay Lake Hospital and the wait<br />

list for this test is up to four months.<br />

The addition of another cardiac ultrasound<br />

machine will allow us to perform<br />

more than twice the number of<br />

echocardiograms, reducing the wait<br />

time for this essential test.<br />

KLH’s Internal Medicine Specialist,<br />

Dr. Brandon Tuvel says, “Your generous<br />

donation will help patients in need<br />

of cardiac care to be assessed and diagnosed<br />

earlier, ultimately leading to the<br />

best possible outcomes.”<br />

Any funds raised in excess of our<br />

goal will be directed to the purchase of<br />

other priority medical equipment for<br />

Kootenay Lake Hospital.<br />
