NOW!<br />

<br />

<br />

Kootenay-produced Comedy<br />

Theatre coming to the Langham!<br />

Domesticated Disputes explores a very wild day in the life of<br />

a very domestic lady and reveals the feral impulses lurking just<br />

underneath the carpet of even the most proper home.<br />

On the surface Evelyn is the perfect housewife running<br />

an impeccable household. But just below the exterior, she is<br />

stewing in her own repressed juices, frustrated by the endless<br />

dreary duties of everyday life. One day, in the course of her<br />

chores, deep, mysterious, primal urges come bubbling to the<br />

fore. Struggle as she might to stay spick and span, things get<br />

kinda dirty.<br />

Written and performed by Marya Folinsbee, Disputes is a<br />

one act, one-woman comedy theatre piece and the latest creation<br />

from Material Theatre, an emergent rural theatre company<br />

located on Sinixt Territory in the Slocan <strong>Valley</strong>.<br />

Folinsbee describes the show as “a little bit clowny, with lots<br />

of physical theatre, feminist content, funny and poignant too.”<br />

Note that Domesticated Disputes is intended for audiences<br />

aged 18 and up due to adult content, including pseudo-nudity<br />

and sexual references.<br />

Playing at the Langham<br />

Theatre in Kaslo<br />

one night only Friday<br />

<strong>Nov</strong>ember 12th.<br />

Tickets $15 available<br />

at Sunnyside Naturals<br />

or Willow Home<br />

and<br />

Ziggy<br />

was surrendered with his<br />

buddy Stardust. They are very<br />

playful with each other but<br />

need more socializing. Every<br />

day they are here with us they<br />

are interacting and starting to<br />

play with staff and volunteers.<br />

sponsored by<br />

Stardust<br />

Stardust<br />

This gorgeous boy is nothing<br />

but funny, he is bonded to<br />

his buddy Ziggy so they will<br />

need to go together. Stardust<br />

is cautious but curious. These<br />

boys will make your day<br />

better and give you endless<br />

laughs!<br />

Mental health: a<br />

priority issue<br />

One of the most important elements of<br />

formal education from a development standpoint<br />

is the opportunity to socialize in a<br />

friendly and open environment. For many<br />

school-aged children, the schoolyard is their<br />

main source of building relationships with<br />

peers. Group projects. Middle-school plays.<br />

Lunchtime in the cafeteria.<br />

It’s through these moments of interaction<br />

with classmates and friends that students<br />

learn to trust, cooperate with, and support<br />

one another. But with the pandemic still casting<br />

its shadow over our lives, these students<br />

have faced school closures, re-openings, distance<br />

learning, more isolation in the classroom,<br />

and an increased reliance on social<br />

media to communicate — whether that’s<br />

by actively participating in conversations<br />

The BC SPCA Nelson Branch is seeking<br />

fosters to help us help animals in<br />

need. If you are able to open your doors<br />

and hearts, we would love to hear from<br />

you! As a member of our foster family,<br />

EARLY CHILDHOOD CARE & EDUCATION<br />

or passively consuming content and merely<br />

being aware of their friends’ lives.<br />

“Isolation and a lack of safe social connections<br />

are issues that have only been<br />

exacerbated by the pandemic,” said Gareth<br />

Jones, President and CEO of the Canada<br />

Safety Council. “Between the importance of<br />

these issues and a growing recognition that<br />

social media channels often exist to promote<br />

engagement over mental health, it’s all<br />

the more important that we check in with<br />

children more frequently and help them to<br />

connect with friends and the people most<br />

important to them.”<br />

School-aged children, much like the population<br />

at large, must stay connected with<br />

the world around them. Especially at such a<br />

seminal age, it’s vital that these social skills<br />

continue to be developed. That’s why, even<br />

when it’s not in a student’s nature to reach out<br />

<strong>Pennywise</strong> is closed Thursday <strong>Nov</strong>ember 11<br />

Calling all potential cat and rabbit fosters!<br />

you will receive our full support as well<br />

as some amazing training opportunities!<br />

So, if you or someone you know<br />

is interested in fostering for us, please<br />

contact the BC SPCA Nelson Branch or<br />

to a friend and converse, we must encourage<br />

them to do so.<br />

Children need safe and supportive figures<br />

in their lives. Even through children<br />

are extremely resilient, it’s easy to forget at<br />

times that there are limits to that resiliency.<br />

Encourage your children to reach out to<br />

friends, have conversations and share experiences<br />

in limited-risk environments while<br />

still safely distancing and, where appropriate,<br />

wearing masks. Even conversations held over<br />

text or on the phone can be more effective<br />

at maintaining one’s mental wellbeing than<br />

scrolling through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram<br />

or TikTok.<br />

Loneliness is but a short step<br />

away from isolation and it can<br />

bring about a whole host of<br />

mental health issues including<br />

depression, anxiety and eating<br />

go to http://bttr.im/eob7d and fill out<br />

a foster application and get the process<br />

started. Thank you!<br />

disorders. Stress about not feeling connected<br />

and being socially isolated can lead to mood<br />

swings, extreme variations in sleep patterns<br />

and more.<br />

As adults, staying connected with children<br />

and maintain an open channel of communication<br />

can make all the difference. While<br />

social restrictions are now lifting, we are not<br />

yet through the pandemic. At this time, it is<br />

important to help each other along where we<br />

can. When it comes to children, let’s remain<br />

connected, understanding, and supportive.<br />

perform<br />

• we focus on making movement<br />

fun<br />

• all programs are designed and<br />

planned with mental health first<br />

• we strategically plan activities<br />

that develop specific fundamental<br />

movement skills<br />

Together, we can create happier,<br />

healthier kids. Did you know that<br />

Active kids are more likely to...<br />

• Have up to 40% higher test scores<br />

• 15% more likely to go to college<br />

• Have 7-8% higher annual earnings<br />

• Have lower health costs<br />

• Be more productive<br />

• & Have reduced risk of heart disease,<br />

stroke, cancer, diabetes<br />

It’s so important that kids get moving<br />

from a young age which is why we<br />

are proud to offer physical literacy programs<br />

that will encourage kids to be<br />

ACTIVE for LIFE!<br />

See you there!!<br />

Fall lake fishing tactics<br />

I often get asked when the best time of year<br />

to fish for trout in lakes is. Unfortunately, it is<br />

not a simple answer, since there can be good<br />

fishing at all times of year <strong>–</strong> including ice fishing<br />

in winter. However, there is a lot to be said<br />

about the spring and fall seasons. Spring has<br />

good fishing because water temperatures are<br />

warming, and that stimulates fishes’ feeding<br />

activity. Also, the majority of aquatic insect<br />

emergences occur during the spring and early<br />

summer months, and trout and char feed<br />

heavily on these prolific hatches. In autumn,<br />

trout again feed aggressively, not necessarily<br />

on insect hatches, but rather on the same<br />

insects’ immature nymphal or larval stages,<br />

along with other invertebrates (like leeches,<br />

freshwater shrimp, water boatman, and backswimmers).<br />

There are also several other reasons<br />

why fall fishing can be outstanding, so<br />

let’s take a closer look at why we should be out<br />

on the water over the next couple of months.<br />

Remember that since all fish are coldblooded,<br />

each species has temperature ranges<br />

in which they are the most active. When<br />

water temperatures go above that range in the<br />

hot summer months, or below that during the<br />

coldest months of winter, it slows the metabolisms<br />

and feeding levels of trout and char <strong>–</strong><br />

often reflected in their unwillingness to bite!<br />

Dropping autumn air temperatures allow the<br />

lake water to also cool down, which brings<br />

fish back into a feeding state. Trout and char<br />

living in the thousands of small lakes of the<br />

province’s interior will endure several months<br />

of ice cover. During fall, fish need to put on<br />

as much body fat as possible to get them<br />

through the long winter. When the shallow<br />

or shoal areas of a lake cool down enough,<br />

it is more comfortable for fish to forage for<br />

Thank you for reading the <strong>Pennywise</strong>!<br />

longer periods of time and, in preparation<br />

for winter, feed even more aggressively as the<br />

temperatures continue to drop.<br />

Always be on the lookout for active fish:<br />

ones that are showing themselves on the<br />

surface of the lake. Fish that are<br />

rising, jumping, or rolling not<br />

only indicate their presence but,<br />

potentially, fish that are actively<br />

feeding. The key is to fish the<br />

areas of the lake where fish are<br />

concentrated; move to where the<br />

fish are active.<br />

In autumn, fish a lake’s shallower<br />

areas <strong>–</strong> from 1.5 to five<br />

metres (five to 16 feet) in depth<br />

<strong>–</strong> where the natural food sources<br />

of trout and char are found. Try<br />

fly-fishing with leech, water boatman<br />

or shrimp patterns; trolling<br />

Worden’s Triple Teazer or Panther Martin<br />

lures; or float-fishing with worms or Berkley<br />

programs and services,” says Morag Carter, executive director of<br />

the Skills Centre.<br />

“In many ways, getting the certification is about our processes<br />

and policies, things that the public and our clients don’t think<br />

about. For the public, the value of CARF is in what we offer our<br />

clients and partners. As one client told the certification committee,<br />

‘The Skills Centre goes above and beyond to help clients<br />

build confidence in themselves.’”<br />

Carter says that sort of testimonial along with the recommendations<br />

and endorsement of CARF are very rewarding for everyone<br />

at the Skills Centre.<br />

“The organization has worked hard to create a professional yet<br />

personal and welcoming workplace that both the staff members<br />

and community members appreciate,” the CARF certification<br />

committee said in granting the Skills Centre its accreditation.<br />

The Skills Centre is one of only two organizations in the region<br />

to achieve its CARF certification.<br />

“Everyone at the Skills Centre participated in this process, our<br />

staff and board directors, and the achievement belongs to each<br />

one of them. I’m very proud of our team and the impact we’re<br />

able to make in the community,” Carter adds.<br />

The Skills Centre is a not-for-profit strengthening rural and<br />

industrial communities in BC through workplace skills development,<br />

training services and social development programming.<br />

It offers skills training and wellness programs for youth, mature<br />

workers and everyone in between to build a caring community<br />

of skilled, productive and engaged people.<br />

Indigenous languages featured at<br />

<strong>Trail</strong> Museum & Archives<br />

How many of us in BC can say “hello” in the language of the<br />

people on whose traditional territory we live, work and play?<br />

You might find yourself expanding your vocabulary—and<br />

appreciation for the state of Indigenous languages spoken in<br />

BC—after visiting the <strong>Trail</strong> Museum & Archives to view the<br />

Our Living Languages: First Peoples’ Voices in BC travelling<br />

exhibition.<br />

Learn what First Nations communities throughout the<br />

province are doing to help 34 different languages survive and<br />

flourish, in Our Living Languages, a beautifully designed<br />

exhibition from the Royal BC Museum and First Peoples’<br />

Cultural Council that celebrates the resilience and diversity of<br />

Indigenous languages in the face of change.<br />

“This exhibit is beyond enlightening,” says Museum &<br />

Archives Manager, Sarah Benson-Lord. “This glimpse into<br />

Indigenous language loss and its revitalization will prompt<br />

anyone to want to learn more about Indigenous cultures. We<br />

hope this exhibit generates much more awareness into local<br />

and regional Indigenous initiatives, challenges, and even<br />

allyship.”<br />

Languages, especially the languages we grow up with, are<br />

powerful and potent markers of identity and culture. BC, one<br />

of the planet’s most linguistically diverse regions, is known as<br />

a linguistic “hotspot” because of the diversity and vitality of<br />

the First Nations languages in BC.<br />

Through interactive stations, video and audio, Our Living<br />

Languages provides visitors with the opportunity to learn<br />

more about the history of disrupted languages in BC, the<br />

complexity of these languages, and the people<strong>–</strong>and entire<br />

communities<strong>–</strong>that are working tirelessly to document and<br />

revitalize them.<br />

The original exhibition of the same name was developed in<br />

partnership with the First Peoples’ Cultural Council and is a<br />

permanent fixture on the 3rd floor of the Royal BC Museum,<br />

in Victoria.<br />

The travelling exhibition runs from October 22, 2021 to<br />

Game of groans:-<br />

winter is coming!<br />

Outdoors and place-based education got a big boost during<br />

the pandemic. Administrators and teachers realized that moving<br />

learning outside was a good way to avoid viral transmission.<br />

Once they were out there, they needed to adapt their<br />

approach to teaching <strong>–</strong> it had to be more real.<br />

Dave Quinn is a wildlife biologist, certified wilderness<br />

guide, outdoor educator, and certified teacher. He offers many<br />

K-12 outdoor education programs for a variety of schools and<br />

organizations including several of the Kootenay Conservation<br />

Society’s Canadian outdoor learning partners. He has a passion<br />

for wilderness and wildlife, and works hard to connect<br />

the next generation to the wild.<br />

This workshop will take place Thursday, <strong>Nov</strong>ember 18. To<br />

Dissolution of the Municipality of<br />

Jumbo Glacier is a win for people<br />

and the environment<br />

New Democrat MLA Brittny Anderson is glad to see the<br />

ending of a contentious resort in the Kootenays, the Mountain<br />

Resort Municipality of Jumbo Glacier (Jumbo).<br />

“People across the Kootenays and the Ktunaxa Nation<br />

fought the development of Jumbo from the start, and today’s<br />

announcement is a win shared by everyone who worked so hard<br />

to keep Jumbo wild,” said Anderson, MLA for Nelson-Creston.<br />

Prior to Jumbo, a municipality could not be created without<br />

residents. Despite having no residents to benefit from municipal<br />

services, Jumbo was slated to receive over $1 million in<br />

grants from the BC Liberal government over five years. In<br />

response, the Union of BC Municipalities passed a motion<br />

in 2014 opposing the funding of any municipalities without<br />

residents.<br />

The area is one of the largest remaining swathes of land in<br />

BC without paved roads and is important habitat for many<br />

species, including grizzlies.<br />

The area was protected by the BC NDP, working with the<br />

federal government and Ktunaxa Nation, in January 2020 and<br />

will be known as Qat’muk, the Ktunaxa name meaning Home<br />

of the Grizzly Bear Spirit. To guarantee its permanent protection,<br />

the next step is to dissolve the municipality. To do that,<br />

Bill 26 was introduced in the legislature.<br />

Jumbo is the first local government to be dissolved in the<br />

province in roughly 100 years. Amendments in the legislation<br />

prevent future governments from creating Mountain Resort<br />

Municipalities with no residents again.<br />

Castlegar Campus and a 36-bed student housing building on<br />

the Silver King Campus. Both new buildings will include two<br />

family units and two accessible units.<br />

With more than 2,800 full-time students on its campuses and<br />

learning centres throughout the region, Selkirk College currently<br />

offers 100 beds at its student housing facility on the Castlegar<br />

Campus and 109 beds at the Tenth Street Campus in Nelson.<br />

From social workers to nurses, millwrights to graphic<br />

designers and conservation officers to chefs, Selkirk College’s<br />

60-plus programs are essential to moving the region forward<br />

with career-ready education. A significant capital project that<br />

is anticipated to break ground in early 2022, it is expected that<br />

students will be living in the new housing by September 2023.<br />

With extremely low vacancy rates both West Kootenay communities,<br />

the 148 new beds at Selkirk College will help address<br />

direct needs and free up housing stock in other parts of the<br />

region. The Nelson component of the project will be the first<br />

student housing offered at the Silver King Campus.<br />

The $24.5 million project includes a $17.8 million grant from<br />

the government and a loan of $5.8 million. Columbia Basin Trust<br />

(CBT) has come on board to provide the remaining $900,000<br />

required to complete the two new facilities. Selkirk College<br />

Escape from a sinking car<br />

You’ve just driven your car into a river or over the side of a<br />

bridge into a lake. What can you do to save yourself?<br />

The mere thought of your car plunging off a bridge into<br />

the icy water below can send shivers down your spine. But<br />

with proper planning you can increase your chances of survival.<br />

Follow these tips to escape from a sinking vehicle from<br />

Jason Lyman, assistant chief of the Islamorada Fire & Rescue<br />

Department of Village of Islands, Florida.<br />

1. Don’t panic.<br />

Though it’s a terrifying situation to be sure, the key to making<br />

it out of a sinking car is to focus and keep your wits about<br />

you. Panicking will only waste time that you do not have.<br />

2. Skip mobile communication.<br />

Trying to call 911 to come and rescue you isn’t your best<br />

move because the responders probably won’t get there in<br />

time—and time is of the essence.<br />

3. Unlock the doors.<br />

If it’s dark, first turn on your interior lights then unlock your<br />

doors. A vehicle’s electronics system should work for some<br />

time after your crash.<br />

4. Plot your escape.<br />

Your car will stay afloat for a short time, so use this opportunity<br />

to escape. Remove heavy clothing, roll down your windows,<br />

and swim away as fast as you can. Do not worry about<br />

trying to save your purse, your wallet, or any other personal<br />

items; survival is the name of the game. Plus, if it is winter,<br />

your risk of hypothermia increases the longer you’re in the<br />

water. The quicker you can get out, the better.<br />

Plug & play<br />

5. Wait to open the door.<br />

This sounds scary, but you won’t be able to open the door<br />

until the car is fully submerged: rising water puts too much<br />

pressure against it. Once the pressure inside has equalized, the<br />

doors should open, though sitting and waiting for this to happen<br />

can cause panic. Concentrate on your next move instead.<br />

6. If you can’t open the door, break a window. If the electrical<br />

system has already failed, you can try kicking the window<br />

out. It is wise to keep a tool like a centre punch or something<br />

similar accessible in your car at all times. Many of the products<br />

Teck <strong>Trail</strong> Operations to stage joint<br />

emergency response exercise<br />

On Wednesday, <strong>Nov</strong>ember 3, 2021, Teck<br />

<strong>Trail</strong> Operations, the Kootenay Boundary<br />

Regional Fire Rescue and the<br />

Regional District Kootenay Boundary<br />

Emergency Program will be staging an<br />

emergency response exercise. This exercise<br />

is a training opportunity for Teck<br />

and our mutual aid partners.<br />

The exercise will take place at Teck’s<br />

Warfield Operations from 7:30 am to<br />

1:00 pm. During this time, there will<br />

be an increase in emergency response<br />

vehicles in the area. Bingay Road will<br />

be closed to traffic during this time<br />

with traffic control in place. Traffic can<br />

detour via Highway 22.<br />

The mock exercise will involve many<br />

community and mutual aid partners<br />

including the Regional District Kootenay<br />

Boundary Emergency Program<br />

Partners (the City of <strong>Trail</strong> and the Village<br />

of Warfield), Kootenay Boundary<br />

Regional Fire Rescue, RCMP, BC<br />

Ambulance Service, Kootenay Boundary<br />

Regional Hospital, School District<br />

No. 20, and FortisBC. The exercise is<br />

being coordinated with the assistance of<br />

a consulting firm specializing in crisis<br />

management.<br />

Safety is a core value at Teck <strong>Trail</strong><br />

Operations. As such, we continually<br />

work to minimize or eliminate the<br />

possibility of safety incidents. This is<br />

done through plant engineering and<br />

design, risk assessment and mitigation,<br />

training and standard operating procedures.<br />

This exercise is an opportunity<br />

to continually enhance our mutual preparedness<br />

in partnership with our community<br />

and mutual aid partners.<br />

designed for breaking glass can also be used to cut your seat<br />

belt. Use it on your windows, not the windshield—it is laminated<br />

safety glass, and you won’t break through. Also, some<br />

newer vehicles have installed laminated glass on the sides, and/<br />

or thick window tinting may have the same properties. Familiarize<br />

yourself with the ins and outs of your car before there is<br />

an emergency.<br />

7. Take a deep breath.<br />

Once the water has risen to chin level, grip the steering wheel<br />

for leverage and take off your seat belt. Take a slow deep breath<br />

and hold it in.<br />

8. Practice becomes perfect.<br />

Rehearse this routine as you would a fire drill: this is another<br />

case where practice creates muscle memory. Ingrain these steps<br />

in your head so that you can save valuable time.<br />

Riparian restoration 2021<br />

For the past three years CKISS has conducted restoration<br />

efforts at three locations: Erie Lake in Salmo, <strong>Beaver</strong> Creek in<br />

<strong>Trail</strong> and Snk’mip Marsh Sanctuary just north of New Denver.<br />

For the first two years (2019-2020) the project had enthusiastic<br />

participation from over 250 volunteers who helped us plant 878<br />

native species and remove a ton of invasive plants. This year we<br />

focused on monitoring the sites for native plant survivorship<br />

and the presence of invasive plants.<br />

It has been such a pleasure to work on these restoration<br />

efforts with our wonderful volunteers, students and partners.<br />

The progress that has been made in restoring these site is very<br />

exciting and we look forward to seeing what the future holds. The<br />

Riparian Restoration in the Kootenay Region Project may have<br />

wrapped up but this does not mean the restoration work is done.<br />

Native planting and community weed pull events continued at<br />

the sites in 2021 thanks to support from BC Parks, Columbia<br />

Basin Trust, the Government of BC, Valhalla Foundation for<br />

Ecology, Kinseed, the Kootenay Native Plant Society and our<br />

keen volunteers.<br />

Oxygen Art Centre (OAC) is excited to announce the launch<br />

of their new Online Mentorship Program. Beginning in January<br />

2022 OAC will be offering affordable one-on-one online mentorship<br />

opportunities for individual artists to receive two 1-hour<br />

mentorship sessions with one of OAC’s faculty.<br />

Each online mentorship will be individually designed to<br />

meet the needs and interests of the individual artist, potentially<br />

involving technical demonstrations, advice, professional development,<br />

and/or critique regarding a specific project or technical<br />

area of development. Organized in a two-session format, each<br />

mentorship will allow mentees to begin an area of inquiry in the<br />

first session and then have the opportunity to put some of their<br />

learning into practice before sharing and discussing their new<br />

work or development in the second session.<br />

OAC Education Coordinator, Natasha Smith shares that “This<br />

is a new Oxygen educational experience which is very affordable<br />

thanks to funding from the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance.<br />

We encourage artists of all levels to apply and learn from<br />

one of our talented and experienced OAC faculty members.”<br />

The program will offer 10 mentorships, as well as 2 youth<br />

scholarships. Applications are now open and will remain open<br />

until the deadline of <strong>Nov</strong>ember 15, 5 pm. Approved mentees<br />

will be matched with an Oxygen Artist Instructor depending on<br />

their practice, medium, and stated goals.<br />

Daughter gets late mother’s book published<br />

Watch for the release of a stunning new novel,<br />

The Thorn by Doreen Zaiss of Gray Creek, BC.<br />

This novel stretches itself from Zaiss’ Norwegian<br />

roots into an intricate and painfully detailed<br />

imagined story of a family in the late 1800s in<br />

Norway, struggling to survive in the harshest<br />

climate and some of the direst circumstances.<br />

Zaiss was a nearly 50-year resident of the East<br />

Shore of Kootenay Lake and a fixture in the<br />

Crawford Bay school system as well as culture<br />

of the communities of the area. She passed away<br />

in March of 2020 but managed to finish this last<br />

powerful project before she died. She was dearly<br />

Photo: Ingrid Baetzel<br />

loved, immensely<br />

talented and is<br />

sorely missed.<br />

Her daughter, Ingrid Baetzel, is the editor of<br />

the East Shore newspaper, The East Shore Mainstreet,<br />

and is exceedingly proud to bring her<br />

mother’s legacy to any and all who might enjoy.<br />

The book will be available in local bookstores,<br />

at book release events and via pick-up<br />

and mail-out in the coming weeks. For more<br />

information or to pre-order your copy, email<br />
