We did it! 

After 20 + years the Kaslo Housing 

Society has secured the cornerstone of 

the funding that will make our project 

to construct a small apartment building 

in downtown Kaslo possible. BCHousing 

announced last week that our application 

for support under the Building 

BC: Community Housing Fund has been 

approved. 

It will happen – new, safe, comfortable 

affordable rental housing in Kaslo! The 

KHS Board is beyond grateful, happy, 

nervous and resolved . 

Our application to BC Housing was 

successful because we stand on the 

shoulders of 20+ years of dedicated 

Kaslo Housing Society directors – and 

we’ve had the good fortune of being able 

to work with Ian Dunlop, Kaslo’s CAO, 

Mayor Suzan Hewat and Kaslo Council, 

and Aimee Watson, RDCK Director 

Area D (Ian, Suzan and Aimee are pictured 

above with KHS Chair, Erika Bird.) 

Some details: The 

3-storey 10-unit 

wood frame building 

has been 

designed by Christine 

Ross of Sanca 

to be in character 

with neighbouring 

heritage buildings in 

Kaslo’s downtown. 

Located behind the 

Kemball Memorial 

Centre, it doesn’t 

have a street address 

yet, just a working 

title - Penny Lane 

Apartments. 

The Village of 

Kaslo (current 

owner of the land) 

has offered the site 

to the society at a 

nominal cost. Village 

staff are in the 

process now of consolidating

lots, and reviewing the Purchase & Sale 

Agreement. Re-zoning of the property 

(with its attendant public process) will 

happen soon. 

One unit will be a three-bedroom 

apartment. There will also be two 2-bedroom 

units, five 1-bedroom units and 2 

studio apartments. 

Kaslo Housing Society will be the operator 

of the building. The 2- and 3-bedroom 

units will be suitable for families. 

For the studio and 1-bedroom units, the 

Society expects to attract low-income 

individuals and couples, and seniors and 

persons with disabilities who are able to 

live independently. Two of the ground 

floor units will be wheelchair accessible. 

2 of the units 

will be “deep subsidy” 

rentals, 5 will 

have rents geared 

to income, and 3 

of the apartments 

will be rented at 

market rates. 

This is very exciting! Expect to hear 

more about this project and the public 

engagement process soon. We have lots 

to look forward to.

February 1942 – June 2020 

On this, the 1st anniversary of your passing, 

you live on in our hearts and our minds. 

Wife, mother, sister, grandmother, aunt, nurse, mentor, friend. 

“If I had my life to live over, I’d dare to make more mistakes, 

relax, be sillier than I have been this trip, take more chances, 

eat more ice cream and less beans, 

ride more merry-go-rounds, and pick more daisies.” 

How I want to be remembered? 

“What you see is what you get. 

I would remember you the same way.” 

“Laugh and the world laughs with you, 

sing and the hills will answer, 

be glad and your friends are many, 

succeed and give as it helps you live.” 

Thanks for the memories.

After 18 years, we’ve 

decided that it’s time to 

focus on other areas of life, 

so we have sold 

12 Mile Storage. 

We often said that we 

have been very fortunate 

to have awesome team members and the best storage 

customers, so it was indeed a difficult decision. We 

extend a special THANK YOU to those of you who we’ve 

had the privilege of connecting with over all these years 

as you’ve given us memories that will be cherished for 

many years to come.

and it’s all over for this dog! 

Dogs are easily 

jolted out of 

open pick-ups and 

often suffer crippling 

injuries or death. 

Use a protective kennel

or better yet, let your best

Imagine, 

Joe has a single older woman 

living next door, and every day 

he sees her water her plants and 

have tea on her immaculate deck. 

One day Joe realizes he hasn’t 

seen her in many days but her 

dirty teacup sits on the deck. 

What would/can/should Joe do? 

Some of us are comfortable just 

knocking on her door. Some not. 

Shirley goes to a local coffee 

outlet every day. Over a couple 

of weeks, coffee shop staff 

noticed Shirley’s appearance was 

changing. She was becoming 

unkempt, appeared cold, dirty, 

and hungry. Staff decided to 

approach her to see if there was 

something they could help with. 

She confided in them that her son 

had taken over her house and she 

was now living in the basement 

without proper cooking or bathing 

facilities. 

Because Joe and the coffee shop 

staff had learned what to do from 

a CRN workshop, they were able 

to get Joe’s neighbour and Shirley 

the help they needed. 

Having some knowledge of elder 

abuse and neglect will help you 

deal with a potential situation and 

make our communities safer for 

all older adults. 

Free trainings 

are available to 

everyone. No 

matter your role or 

activities in your 

community, we interact 

with seniors 

every day. Having 

the knowledge 

to recognize and 

respond appropriately 

is everyone’s 

role in keeping our 

older adults safe. 

Presentations: It’s Not Right, 

Gatekeeper, Volunteering Is Good 

for YOU! 

Let’s talk about ageism, how to 

recognize and respond to potential 

elder abuse, creating healthy 

boundaries for working with and 

for seniors, and how to open the 

door to difficult conversations 

which can prevent/stop abuse. 

What is elder abuse? What are 

the signs, types and symptoms 

of elder abuse? What should or 

shouldn’t you do? Who do you 

call? How do you open the door 

to conversations? Who is responsible 

to investigate allegations of 

elder abuse, neglect, self-neglect? 

The pandemic has made our older 

adults even more vulnerable 

to abuse and neglect. This is your 

invitation to do your part in creating 

communities where all adults 

are safe, included and respected. 

Sandi McCreight has been working 

with and for seniors for 15 

years. Sharing her knowledge and 

experience through free presentations/trainings. 

She is the 

Castlegar CRN Coordinator and 

the creator and coordinator of the 

IRIS program in Castlegar. 

For more info or to book a presentation, 

please contact Sandi

The Big Bad Wolf: How Big and How Bad? Written by Ken Sumanik 

How big? As big as a big German Sheppard 

dog, although males can exceed 100 pounds 

(45.5 kilos) but they are generally about 70 or 

80 pounds (31.2 to 36.3 kilos), How bad? Their 

evil is legendary, based on historical accounts 

of killing humans, and ravaging their livestock, 

and therefore reason enough to use whatever 

means to cull them. Wolves and Brown bears 

were eradicated centuries ago in the British 

Isles and other western Old-World countries. 

The absence of both species enabled livestock 

and deer production that continues to this day 

in the British Isles. However, European Union 

member countries have to comply with an 

obligation in 1995 to reinstate their wolf and 

bear populations. Ecosystem restoration to 

maintain biodiversity was the rationale for this 

change in game management policy that is 

failing to achieve expectations. Wolves have 

dispersed across Europe preying on livestock, 

wild ungulates and even family pets, but more 

ominously are hybridizing which is sure to result 

in a different wolf. 

Wolves were eradicated by the mid 1950s in the 

New World, USA except for Alaska and most of 

Canada. A reversal began when wolves were 

legally protected in the USA by the Endangered 

Species Act (ESA) in1973. The results are equally 

devastating on people whose livelihoods are 

dependent on wild and domestic ungulates. 

Ecosystem restoration to maintain biodiversity 

was the same rationale used by the USF&WS 

in 1995 to transplant Canadian wolves into Yellowstone 

National Park (YNP) that subsequently 

decimated ungulate populations, particularly 

and elk. Wolves dispersed beyond the park 

boundary onto private lands to prey on livestock 

and game animals, mainly elk, deer and 

moose impacting the livelihoods of ranchers, 

farmers and outfitters. 

That it has taken four decades to realize the 

profoundly negative impact of wolf predation 

based on centuries of experience is astounding. 

The following are examples of where deer and 

moose abundance is maintained in an absence 

of wolves, by effective management of black 

bears and coyotes that are the only predators. 

Anticosti Island , Quebec 

The island is a very sparsely inhabited situated in 

the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It is about 7,892 square 

kms or 3047 Services square miles that is physiographically 

similar to the rest of the region. Indigenous 

wildlife were eradicated by 1890 but upon acquisition 

in 1895 by Henri Menier, a keen hunter 

who stocked it with 220 white-tailed deer. Presently 

there are approximately 120,000, whitetails, 

20 per sq. Km, down from a high about 

160,000, and 1000 moose. Hunting is managed 

by Sépaq, a Quebec government agency. 

Newfoundland (Island) 

The island was a British Colony until 1949 when 

it joined the Canadian Confederation. It is 

108,860 sq. Kms, typically boreal forest with a 

human population of about 550,000. Its moose 

population of about 110,000 animals is estimated 

at 1.1 per sq. Km, down from a previous high 

of about 140,000, thirty years ago. Moose were 

introduced to the island in the early 1900s, from 

a source in New Brunswick to establish guided 

hunting as an industry that succeeded but also 

became a significant sustenance resource. The 

government boasts, “A license for every two 

moose”! Approximately 70,000 licenses are sold, 

and 19,000 moose harvested annually. Heavy 

browsing by moose has impacted the forests 

in Gros Morne and Bonavista National Parks so 

forest restoration is being done by reducing 

their numbers in both parks. A woodland caribou 

population of approximately 16,000 is also 

hunted. Black bears exist and prey on caribou 

and moose but the threat to both species is 

reduced as bears are also hunted. Wolves don’t 

exist on the island but a fear of them crossing a 

possible frozen Strait of Belle Isle from Labrador 

to the island is a concern. 

Cape Breton Island (CBI, Nova Scotia) 

The island is 10,311 sq. Kms situated at the 

northeastern tip of Nova Scotia. It is connected 

to the province by a causeway that crosses 

the Canso Strait. Indigenous wolf and moose 

populations were eradicated in the late 1890s. 

An introduction of 18 moose from Elk Island National 

Park, Alberta in 1947- 48 established a viable 

population. A spruce budworm infestation 

during the 1970s was beneficial to the moose 

population, and as predation was minimal, it increased 

to approximately 5000 animals by 2010. 

Over browsing the forest of Cape Breton Island 

National Park (CBINP) required reducing moose 

numbers, as in NL National Parks. A moose 

population survey by Parks Canada in 2015 

recorded 1800 animals, approximately two per 

sq. Km. A repeat survey in 2019 recorded only 

481 animals. 2019. The survey data confirms that 

a serious decrease in the CBI moose population 

has occurred over the five year period. 

Summary 

Residents of these three widely separated 

islands in Eastern Canada continue to benefit 

from abundant moose 

and deer populations, the 

result of introductions 

attempted during the 

early Services 1900s. Their purpose 

was to produce game 

populations as a source of 

sustenance and revenue. 

The species adapted and 

thrived. Foxes, black bears 

and coyotes also exist on 

several of the islands and 

are not considered serious 

threats to ungulate survival 

for they are also hunted 

and trapped. Hunting 

is the primary source of 

Services 

ungulate mortality, regulated 

by governments 

intent on maintaining 

high levels of game production expected of a 

discerning hunting public, density independent 

factors notwithstanding. Should game 

populations decline to unsatisfactory levels, 

governments and their regulators will be held 

to account, not foxes, coyotes and black bears. 

The remarkable success of the deer and moose 

introductions to these islands coincident with 

an absence of wolves, has exceed expectations. 

Habitat was not a limiting factor. 

Impacts of Wolf Predation on Prey and People 

Wolves were eradicated from the US lower forty-eight 

by 1955 to enable livestock and game 

production to sustain our unique western way 

of life. The impact of the other major predators, 

cougars, grizzly and black bears and coyotes 

was managed by a combination of regulated 

hunting, trapping and bounties as required 

to produce abundant game populations as a 

source of food, and to maintain our hunting 

heritage. The use of fur, fish and game species 

in perpetuity required controlling predators 

for that purpose. This NAGM model was used 

successfully for five decades but is seriously 

threatened as human needs are increasingly 

subordinated to ecosystem related interests. 

State game managers had to comply with the 

wolf protection policy under the ESA. This was 

a serious impediment to game management 

practices that resulted in severe decimations 

caused by wolf predation. Provincial agencies 

accommodated similar wolf predation policy 

constraints that resulted in significant decreases 

in moose, elk and deer populations, and the 

near demise of caribou populations nationwide, 

except for NL (Island). 

Efforts to restore game populations are just 

beginning in several States where wolves have 

been delisted; ID, MT, WY and WI. Recently the 

Government of Idaho proclaimed a cull of 90 

per cent of the wolves based on factual information 

of severe wolf predation. The following 

link records Idaho elk population collapse that 

compares with elk in the East Kootenay in BC 

and adjoining US States. (see link #1)

watch?v=eqpr0xoTp9E 

Similarly, Montana and Wyoming state governments 

recently committed to reducing their 

wolf populations. (See link #2 as Montana steps 

up) 

Link #2: https://www.boisestatepublicradio. 

org/post/montana-governor-given-written-warning-after-trapping-killing-yellowstone-wolf#stream/0 

Wolves are hunted and trapped in BC, but 

recently subjected to culling by government in 

specific areas under a Primary Predator Reduction 

Program as a woodland caribou population 

recovery measure. Objectors to the culling were 

anticipated. (See link #3) 

Link #3: https://www.nationalobserver. 

com/2021/05/03/news/bc-kills-237-wolveswhile-court-case-pending 

The North West Territory government is also 

considering a wolf cull program to restore caribou 

populations. 

Wolves are also a major factor in the drastic decrease 

in BC moose populations that was finally 

acknowledged by the government. Recommendations 

for restoration were provided by a 

consultant on July 5, 2016. (See link #4)

Ponderations? 

Can a wolf be bad…or good? This is a rhetorical 

question because a wolf cannot be held to 

any moral standard for pursuing and killing its 

prey. The logical answer must be, neither good 

nor bad, even if the prey is a human. However, 

outcomes of wolf behaviors that are harmful to 

humans must be addressed empirically.

CFNKLS Treasure Hunt starts 

on Canada Day! 

A beautifully crafted treasure box has been hidden somewhere 

in the North Kootenay Lake area – that is, in RDCK Area D. Inside 

is $250 for the finder to keep and instructions for what to do next. 

The hunt will begin July 1st. On that day, treasure hunters will 

find the first clues on the treasure hunt webpage (www.nkltreasure.wordpress.com), 

on the CFNKLS Facebook page, and posted 

around Kaslo. 

The Community Fund of North Kootenay Lake Society 

(CFNKLS) supports charitable giving which can be a source of 

pleasure and pride for people of all ages. To this end, CFNKLS has 

created a Treasure Fund, separate from the $250 in the treasure 

box. The finder of the treasure box will donate the Treasure Fund to 

a local charity of their choice. 

We ask you to help grow this Treasure Fund. Donations (of 

$20 or more are eligible for a charitable tax receipt) can be sent 

to CFNKLS, Box 661, Kaslo, BC, VOG 1M0. Please include your 

name and address and state clearly that the donation is meant for 

the Treasure Fund. CFNKLS thanks you for any donation, large or 

small, to help us grow the Treasure Fund. 

Further details can be found on the Treasure Hunt website,

CFNKLS can be found at www.nklcommunityfund.org, and

New funding for Interior 

care homes 

Care homes and hospice houses throughout the Interior 

region have been awarded $700,000 in special support through 

the national LTC+ Acting on Pandemic Learning Together 

program. 

LTC+ is an initiative by Healthcare Excellence Canada 

launched to help support the long-term care (LTC) sector 

to document and share lessons learned from delivering care 

during COVID-19, with the goal of being better prepared for 

pandemics in the future. 

“I would like to thank Healthcare Excellence Canada for 

launching the LTC+ program and for the generous financial 

support towards seniors care throughout the Interior,” said 

Interior Health president and CEO Susan Brown. “The people 

who live, work and visit care homes and hospice houses 

know firsthand the massive impact this pandemic has had on 

residents’ quality of care and the stress it has put on families 

and staff. This special support will go a long way in capturing 

the lessons learned from this pandemic to prevent future challenges 

in the future.” 

Recipient long-term care and assisted living homes and hospice 

houses applied and joined a national initiative through the 

LTC+: Acting on Pandemic Learning Together program. This 

funding will support the 70 care homes in the Interior to build 

on what has been learned through COVID-19, and strengthen 

their pandemic response in six key areas of practice: readiness, 

prevention, people in the workforce, surge capacity, care planning, 

and the presence of family. 

“The pandemic has emphasized the importance of working 

collaboratively. When we work together, we can achieve so 

much more,” said Tanya MacDonald, director of Innovations 

and Strategic Development at Healthcare Excellence Canada. 

“LTC+ is a true partnership with organizations such as BC 

Patient Safety and Quality Council and the homes that are participating. 

We are working with each other, not for each other.”

New, affordable rentals 

coming to Kaslo 

NDP MLA Brittny Anderson says ten new, affordable 

rental homes are coming to Kaslo for people with low to 

moderate incomes. 

“For people living in small towns, safe, affordable and 

accessible housing can be hard to come by,” said MLA 

Anderson. “I couldn’t be happier to announce the partnership 

between the Kaslo Housing Society and the province 

to create ten new homes for people from all walks of life, 

and am so grateful to the Society for their work.” 

The Kaslo Housing Society will be building ten new units 

for families, seniors, singles, and persons with disabilities. 

Provided by the Building BC: Community Housing 

Fund, these new affordable rental homes are part of 47 new 

projects, which will deliver more than 2,400 new homes 

across the province. 

A total of 47 new projects have been selected through 

this second intake of the Building BC: Community Housing 

Fund (CHF). The intake will provide approximately 

2,455 rental homes for individuals, families, seniors, people 

with disabilities and Indigenous peoples throughout the 

province. More than 1,000 of the new homes will be for 

Indigenous individuals, families and Elders. 

These projects have 50% of units for households with 

incomes up to $64,000, 30% of units for households with 

incomes up to approximately $74,000, and 20% of units 

for households with very low incomes (including those on 

income or disability assistance). 

The Community Housing Fund is part of the BC NDP 

government’s 10-year $7-billion housing plan. It is an 

investment of $1.9 billion to build more than 14,000 affordable 

rental homes for moderate- and low-income families 

and individuals. Three and a half years in, more than 8,600 

of these homes are already open, under construction or in 

development.

Would your acreage benefit from soil amendment? 

Mercer Celgar is looking for landowners with 2 or more acres within 55 km 

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. 

If interested, please contact Len Hewat

Category 3 burning prohibited 

Effective Friday, June 11, 2021, Category 

3 open burning, as defined in the Wildfire 

Regulation, will be prohibited throughout 

the Southeast Fire Centre, which includes the 

Rocky Mountain Natural Resource District 

and the Selkirk Natural Resource District. 

The BC Wildfire Service is implementing 

this prohibition to help prevent wildfires 

caused by Category 3 burning and to protect 

public safety. A map indicating the areas 

affected by this prohibition is available online: 

http://ow.ly/yTjI50F3h3q 

Specifically, prohibited activities that would 

constitute a Category 3 open fire include: 

• 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 

• burning of one or more windrows, and 

• burning of stubble or grass over an 

area greater than 0.2 hecatres 

Anyone holding a Category 3 registration 

number anywhere in the Southeast Fire Centre’s 

jurisdiction must ensure their piles are 

extinguish by the June 11, 2021 deadline and 

may not light past this date. This prohibition 

will remain in effect until noon on Oct. 9, 

2021, or until the order is rescinded. 

This prohibition applies to all 

public and private land, unless 

specified otherwise (e.g., in a 

local government bylaw). Check with local 

government authorities for any other restrictions 

before lighting any fire. 

This prohibition does not ban campfires 

that are a half-metre high by a high-metre 

wide or smaller, and does not apply to cooking 

stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes. 

This prohibition also does not ban Category 

2 fires, which include one or two concurrently 

burning piles up to two metres high 

by three metres wide each, or the burning 

of stubble or grass in an area less than 0.2 

hectares. 

A poster explaining the different categories 

of open burning is available online: http:// 

ow.ly/znny309kJv5 

Anyone found in contravention of an open 

fire prohibition may be issued a ticket for 

$1,150, required to pay an administrative 

penalty of $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. 

The Southeast Fire Centre would like to 

thank the public for its continuing help in 

preventing wildfires. To report a wildfire or 

open burning violation, call 1 800 663-5555

Help for Legions 

The BC provincial government has released 

a statement providing new relief funding for 

Legion branches in BC. This will help ensure 

our branches can continue to provide essential 

services to our veterans and their families, 

and community services across BC. 

Like many in the food and beverage industry, 

Royal Canadian Legion branches in BC 

have been navigating this challenging economic 

crisis. The updated public order for 

Food and Liquor Serving Premises released 

on April 21, 2021 directly affected Legions, 

but they did not receive access to the Government 

aid provided to the “industry” through 

the Circuit Breaker Business Relief Grant 

because of their non-profit status. 

The 143 Legion branches within BC raise 

over $2.5 million for veterans and their families 

through the annual poppy campaign. 

Branches also raise and distribute additional 

funds throughout the year giving back over 

$1 million to their local communities in BC. 

The BC government issued funding of $1.5 

million to assist our branches and ensure the 

sustainability of our mission. These funds will 

be received by BC/Yukon Command of the 

Royal Canadian Legion and be distributed 

based on need.

Rossland Fire Dept 

history on display 

Forged in Fire: The Rossland Fires covers the history of Rossland’s 

significant fires and the beginning of the Rossland Fire 

Department. 

Like many boomtowns, Rossland was plagued with fires in 

its early days. Mining camps were especially affected by fires 

due to quickly-built and makeshift structures largely constructed 

of wood. Insurance companies urged the town to 

make fire upgrades, and in 1896 the Rossland Fire Department 

was formed as a volunteer force. Still, Rossland’s downtown 

was hit by huge fires in 1902, 1927, and 1929, altering the 

building landscape and forcing additional fire safety upgrades. 

The most notable difference was the loss of the upper floor of 

the Post Office in 1929. The history of the fires and Rossland’s 

firefighters is a tale of perseverance, calamity, and community. 

While we could not bring one of the fire trucks in our collection 

downtown, Forged in Fire features photographs and artifacts 

from our extensive fire department collection. We have 

created a map showing the locations of the major Rossland 

fires to help explain where key fires took place. 

This exhibit will be on display in the front window of the 

Prestige Mountain Resort during the summer of 2021. Follow 

that up with a visit to the museum to check out our fire trucks 

and additional equipment!

Invasive Asian Clams Found in 

Kootenay Waterbody 

The Ministry of Environment (MOE) confirmed that invasive 

Asian clams (Corbicula fluminea) were found in the Pend 

D’Oreille River this spring. This is the first confirmed presence 

of live invasive freshwater clams in the Central Kootenay 

region. However, this is not the first confirmation of these 

clams in B.C.: they exist in the lower mainland, and in 2020, 

they were found in Shuswap Lake. The MOE is assessing distribution 

and have conducted preliminary surveys near the 

Salmo River confluence. 

The non-native clams are a concern to the Central Kootenay 

Invasive Species Society (CKISS), a local non-profit that works

water, and negatively alter aquatic ecosystems by competing 

with native species for food and habitat. 

In response to the recent discovery, CKISS is urging watercraft 

users and anglers to Clean, Drain, and Dry all gear and 

watercraft every time they leave a lake or river. The larvae of 

this species are microscopic and could hitchhike in the smallest 

amount of water in your watercraft, surviving to populate 

another lake. A single clam can create a new population due to 

self-fertilization, producing up to 70,000 eggs per year. 

Asian clams are found in the pet trade as an aquarium 

species, which is another potential pathway for this invasive 

species to spread. CKISS wants to remind aquarium owners 

to never dump the contents of their aquarium (animals and 

plants) into natural places including waterways.

BC’s Family Fishing Weekend 

and Father’s Day :) 

B.C.’s Family Fishing Weekend is an annual celebration of 

fishing that coincides with Father’s Day weekend each year. In 

2021, this falls on June 18 - 20. During the three-day event, 

residents of Canada (individuals who have lived in Canada for 

the preceding 12 months) can go fishing without a licence. 

Fish for Free During Father’s Day Weekend - June 18 - 20, 

2021 

The provincial government waives the requirement for residents 

to buy or carry a non-tidal (freshwater) basic licence 

during the third weekend in June, and the Friday immediately 

prior. The federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, 

which manages tidal fishing, also offers the opportunity to 

go saltwater fishing for free. This is a great opportunity to get 

together with family and friends and try fishing! 

Exceptions: If you plan to fish for species that require a conservation 

surcharge stamp (steelhead, Shuswap Lake rainbow trout 

and char, Kootenay Lake rainbow trout, white sturgeon, and 

salmon in both tidal and non-tidal waters); or angle Classified 

Waters (highly productive trout streams; listed as Class I or Class 

II waters in the water-specific tables of the fishing regulations) 

you are still required to purchase the appropriate licence(s) and 

conservation surcharge stamps

SUDOKU 

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken 

down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the 

numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and 

box. Each number can appear only once in each row, 

column and box. You can figure out the order in which 

the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues 

already provided in the boxes. The more numbers 

you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Please compost 

According to Canadian statistics organic material can make 

up to 40% of household waste. Eliminating this material from 

our garbage we throw out is a great way to reduce large volumes 

of material going to landfill. Many municipalities and individuals 

compost to remove organic wastes from landfill bulk and 

to do away with methane emissions caused by organic waste 

decomposing in 

landfills. 

Turning 

organic waste 

into compost 

has many benefits. 

Compost is 

a nutrient rich 

soil amendment 

for the earth that 

stores carbon. 

Mixing carbon 

(Browns) 

and nitrogen 

(Greens) are the 

ingredients to 

make it work. 

Simple aeration, 

heat and moisture help break down the organic material. 

Microorganisms and invertebrates like worms and sow 

bugs that eat food scraps and yard wastes can help the process 

along. These invertebrates excrete odourless castings that also 

become part of the organic mixture. Added to soil, this compost 

improves nutrient content and soil structure. It’s a great 

Nelson ArtWalk 2021 

The Nelson and District Arts Council 

(NDAC) has proudly hosted events that have 

become instrumental in supporting local artists 

for over five creative decades. NDAC is excited 

to be able offer ArtWalk this year, continuing 

its long history of supporting local artists to sell 

their work. The Nelson and District Arts Council 

has worked hard to engage and support local 

artists during the COVID-19 pandemic, and as 

a result will be continuing to offer an on-line 

gallery platform, which was an incredibly successful 

digital pivot in 2020. 

We will continue with our ‘Virtual Venues’ 

who will host and promote local artists on their 

social media pages. NDAC will provide full 

social media support to Virtual Venues, so that 

they can feature local artists online, in lieu of 

physically being able to hang artwork in their 

establishments. All media will link to our Art- 

Walk digital gallery platform where patrons can 

directly connect with the artists to make their 

purchases. This summer ArtWalk will also have 

limited in-person ‘Showcase Venues’, which will 

feature multiple artists, showcasing physical 

work in COVID safe environments. 

The application fees for both artists and venues 

have been waived again this year in an effort 

to alleviate financial pressures faced by artists 

during the pandemic. Our two openings, Friday, 

June 25, 6-9 pm and Friday, July 23, 6-9pm, 

will be live stream presentations of local performance 

artists, who will be safely performing 

from their homes or outdoors, and will be featured 

on our website and social media channels. 

This will allow for local performance artists to 

continue to be paid for their work in a climate 

where summer performance opportunities have 

been strictly limited. 

ArtWalk has a wonderful reputation as one of 

the best events of the summer... it might look 

different, but will still provide arts lovers with 

the opportunity to experience what our incredible 

creative community has to offer!

fertilizer for growing plants and it’s ours for the making. 

We keep a pail with a lid under our kitchen sink and put 

all vegetable and fruit waste in it. In order to avoid attracting 

wildlife once it goes outdoors, we do not add any meat or dairy 

product. We are careful to remove, plastic tags, twist ties and 

to avoid tea bags that are made of petroplastic derivatives. We 

also cut large pieces up and occasionally add small pieces of 

paper. When the bucket is full of fresh material full 

of nitrogen, we empty it into the first bin of a three 

stage vermicomposter, then give it a stir and throw 

in a handful of browns. Browns make up carbon rich 

material and can be; dry leaves, shredded paper, sawdust, 

or straw. 

Red wriggler worms in our bins help create air 

passages, break down the material and certainly 

micro-organisms and bugs contribute to the process. 

We check once in a while to see how they are doing 

and make sure that the bin is moist, there are no hot 

spots and the aroma is sweet. Once the bin is full, we 

top it all up with straw or soil or aged sawdust, then 

dampen and let the biology feast occur undisturbed. 

Then we start a new bin 

and repeat the process. 

It only takes a summer 

season to transform the 

first pile into valuable garden 

amendment. 

We also keep a covered hot pile 

on the ground where we deposit 

all weeds and large garden refuse. 

This pile is poked and watered

meeting on Wednesday, June 16 at 6:30 pm

There are serious staffing cuts scheduled for 

our high school in the fall of 2021 that will affect 

both the course offerings and the educational 

experience for our children. 

Local teachers are very concerned and want 

to communicate with parents about how these 

changes will impact our students. There is a lot 

of information to share. 

Parents of JVH will need to come together to 

petition the school district to maintain the staffing 

levels that we currently have. 

All parents and concerned community members 

(not just high school parents) are welcome, 

as if not addressed these could be precedent

occasionally. The internal heat and moisture of the pile kill 

weed seeds and break down the organic material into usable 

soil amendments. This pile is turned after a seasons accumulation. 

This pile takes two seasons to be ready for the garden. 

Kaslo already manages some yard waste with spring and fall 

pickups and is presently determining if some kind of municipal 

composting support could work here. In the meantime 

many local people are eliminating their organic waste from 

their garbage, through backyard composting systems like 

ours or participating in the Community Garden composting 

systems. There are many ways and appliances to compost. he
