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 This prohibition will remain in effect until noon on Oct. 9, 2021, or until the order is rescinded.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.

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.

Touchstones presents Cree Code Talker On National Indigenous Peoples Day, June 21 Touchstones Nelson will screen the National Screen Institute documentary short Cree Code Talker, by filmmaker Alexandra Lazarowich, on Facebook Live. Tune in at 7pm. Afterwards, stay online for a panel discussion with local filmmakers. Touchstones will be hosting additional programming related to indigenous culture and issues throughout June, National Indigenous History month. Watch for more details and particulars on their social media channels. Touchstones Nelson 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! Rossland Museum 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 ARRIVING THIS MONTH: Cherries and Apricots! plant sale on now Grand Forks Salad greens Romaine, Red Leaf Lettuce, Swiss Chard Butter Lettuce $2.25 /head All grown with care in Grand Forks 250-365-1009 Across from Chances, Castlegar Open: Tuesday – Saturday 10am - 5pm Closed: Sunday and Monday to prevent the spread of invasive species in the region. The clams can clog water treatment systems, contaminate drinking 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. Central Kootenay Invasive Species Society JONI ASKEW 365-4731 Independent Realtor® 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 https://www.gofishbc.com/Blog/About-Us/BC-s-Family-Fishing-Weekend.aspx www.pennywiseads.com This, and other editorial articles may be viewed, printed or downloaded from the Editorial page at the Pennywise website: www.pennywiseads.com PROFESSIONALS GET RESULTS NIKKI JENSEN 365-2170 Unlicensed Assistant Office 250-365-2170 Joni Askew Homeselling Team www.kootenayhomesales.com Resdidential • Residential • Residential • Residential • Residential • Residential 800 Lynnwood Crescent Castlegar Over half an acre lot right in town, services available, close to all amenities. mls 2435168 $79,900 SOLD 527 5th Avenue Castlegar Great family home, secondary suite, many updates, close to schools $399,900 2522 Knob Road Castlegar Open floor plan, large covered deck, amazing view, self contained suite mls 2457918 $499,900 Joni sold my home and I couldn’t be happier.
