SOS The SS Moyie<br />
needs your help!<br />
On October 22, 2021 the SS<br />
Moyie <strong>–</strong> a National Historic Site<br />
and the oldest intact passenger<br />
sternwheeler in the world <strong>–</strong> was 123<br />
years old. Because of her age she is<br />
in urgent need of major repairs to<br />
her roofs and decking. Launched at<br />
the Nelson Shipyard in 1898, these<br />
sternwheelers were expected to last<br />
about 25 years and the Moyie served<br />
for almost 60. When she retired in<br />
1957, she was sold to Kaslo for $1<br />
by the CPR and the next year was<br />
winched out of the water and began<br />
her new career as a museum with<br />
the Kootenay Lake Historical Society<br />
(KLHS) as her custodian.<br />
Like any house, her roofs need<br />
regular repair and last winter, sagging<br />
and leaking occurred, threatening<br />
the interior of the ship. The<br />
sagging has been corrected and<br />
reinforced, but now the critical job<br />
of replacing the canvas and decking<br />
is needed. This is where we need<br />
your help!<br />
The KLHS has sought funding<br />
from various agencies but we are<br />
required to match some of this.<br />
Removing the canvas, repairing<br />
any damaged wood, replacing and<br />
painting the canvas will require<br />
scaffolding to be set up around<br />
the ship. A team of workers will<br />
be trained on site to do the repair<br />
work. With the scaffolding in place,<br />
the exterior of the ship will be<br />
painted, so she will look almost as<br />
good as new ready to celebrate her<br />
125th birthday in 2023!<br />
We are grateful to the commitment<br />
of funding from Columbia<br />
Basin Trust, Community Economic<br />
Resiliency Infrastructure Program<br />
(CERIP) and the Village of Kaslo<br />
and funds from other federal and<br />
provincial sources are pending.<br />
KLHS now needs to raise $100,000<br />
towards this work and already has<br />
$83,000. Can you help raise the<br />
other $17,000?<br />
Please send donations to Kootenay<br />
Lake Historical Society, PO Box<br />
537, Kaslo, BC V0G 1M0, or via the<br />
donate button on our website www.<br />

everyone who wants to give something back.<br />
It’s when we hope you will make a donation to the Slocan<br />
<strong>Valley</strong> Legacy Fund. This is our annual appeal for support<br />
through one-time gifts, monthly pledges, or donations made<br />
in memory or in honour of someone special. You can donate<br />

Campbell Field options<br />
The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) is inviting<br />
community feedback on two options for the reimagination<br />
of Campbell Field at the Playmor Junction. The options are<br />
high-level concepts, developed based on input from the community<br />
through a survey campaign in the fall of 2020. While<br />
the two options are similar, Option 1 has a greater focus on the<br />
indoor elements, and Option 2 has a greater focus on outdoor<br />
elements.<br />
The two options, along with background information and<br />
inspirational photos, are being presented on panels for the<br />
community to review. After viewing the panels and the two<br />
options, people can provide their feedback via an online or<br />
print form. Key community groups and stakeholders will also<br />
be invited to provide feedback on the concepts.<br />
The panels can be viewed at the following locations during<br />
regular open hours:<br />

Expect higher traffic on Hwy.#3<br />
The province is expected to announce that truck and other<br />
traffic between the lower mainland and Alberta will be temporarily<br />
diverted via Highway #3 while road repairs are effected<br />
along the TransCanada Highway. Salmo may see a significant<br />
increase in traffic due to this diversion. Some of these truckers<br />
have never been through Highway 3, never mind over the<br />
Kootenay Pass, so please keep in mind that we should be both<br />
patient and vigilant while giving them lots of space when sharing<br />
the highway with them.<br />

SUDOKU<br />
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken<br />
down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the<br />
numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box.<br />
Each number can appear only once in each row, column<br />
and box. You can figure out the order in which the<br />
numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already<br />
provided in the boxes. The more numbers<br />
you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!<br />

<strong>Nov</strong>ember fishing report<br />
Kootenay Lake:<br />
The water temperature is perfect<br />
and the fish are biting. Our temps have<br />
dropped to low 50s which has brought<br />
most fish to the surface. We have had<br />
some great days with up to 20 fish coming<br />
in, although we have experienced a<br />
few slower days this fall compared to<br />
last fall. Seems like the fish will put the<br />
feedbags on for a couple days, and then<br />
become lazy for a few days after.<br />
The latest catches have seen rainbows<br />
between 2 <strong>–</strong> 3 lbs and bull trout up to<br />
10 Lbs. We have seen the odd Rainbow<br />
over 4 Lbs, but not as many as we had<br />
expected. Especially since we saw some<br />
fat rainbows in August that were finding<br />
some kokanee to eat. This pattern<br />
has changed, and the fish are back to<br />
eating mysis shrimp or any remaining<br />
insects in the lake.<br />
October provided us with some<br />
decent weather and some really good<br />
outings. We have been taking a lot of<br />
corporate groups out lately, as the year<br />
is winding down for a lot of businesses<br />
who have been busy all summer and<br />
finally get to enjoy a break. These trips<br />
have been a blast. It’s always a good<br />
‘team building’ experience, with maybe<br />
a little bit of friendly competition to<br />
make it interesting.<br />
<strong>Nov</strong>ember/December have always<br />
been our best months in the fall, so<br />
we’ll see what the fish gods bring us.<br />
Columbia River:<br />
The river is still producing some<br />
beauty Rainbows, although we have<br />
wrapped up our guided trips on the jet<br />
sled for this season. Unless we get some<br />
mild, sunny days coming up.<br />
Last week, we did manage to land<br />
some rainbows up to 20 inches. The<br />
water remains<br />
low, and the fish<br />
are hanging in<br />
a lot of different<br />
runs. The braided<br />
water is still producing<br />
fish on<br />
the streamers or<br />
wooly buggers.<br />
And the back<br />
eddies are still<br />
holding fish and<br />
providing some<br />
good takes on<br />
the indicator and<br />
nymph.<br />
There are also still walleye hanging<br />
around, so that’s another option as well.<br />
While we may not make many trips on<br />
the jet sled coming up, we will still hit the<br />
river a few times from the shore this winter.<br />
Looking forward to some ‘float fishing’<br />
and some bottom fishing, as these<br />
are easy techniques from the shore.<br />
What are they biting on???<br />
On the lake, it’s been a mixed bag<br />
lately. One day the bucktails are working,<br />
but lately the spoons have been<br />
producing more. The fish seem to be<br />
located in pockets. We have covered a<br />
lot of water lately and found some good<br />

Emergency can strike at any time. Having<br />
a plan in place can be a difference-maker in<br />
ensuring you and your family are able to get<br />
out safely. Are you prepared?<br />
“Fire can start in the blink of an eye,” said<br />
Gareth Jones, president and CEO of the Canada<br />
Safety Council. “Preparation is essential.<br />
Everyone should know how to get out of their<br />
house at a moment’s notice — because in some<br />
cases, a moment’s notice is all you will get.”<br />
Home fires, of course, can spread rapidly.<br />
They can occur for a wide variety of reasons,<br />
including faulty appliances and wiring, flammable<br />
materials that are left too close to a<br />
heat source, open flames left unguarded and<br />
carelessness when handling cigarettes.<br />

“I’ve learned how<br />
to have an entrepreneur’s vision.”<br />
COCO SEITZ, OWNER,<br />
MAMA'S DUMPLINGS<br />
A good home fire escape plan is crucial and<br />
everyone in the household should be involved<br />
in its creation. Walk through the home, taking<br />
note of all potential escape routes. If your<br />
household has younger children or includes<br />
people who are more visual learners, consider<br />
drawing a physical map of the house<br />
with at least two exits out of each room clearly<br />
identified.<br />
Here are a few other tips to help you along<br />
as you’re considering your fire escape plan:<br />
Plan ahead of time with regards to any<br />
seniors, infants, and mobility-impaired individuals.<br />
Identify someone in the home<br />
whose responsibility it is to assist them<br />
in the event of an emergency.<br />
Be ready in case of fire<br />
Plan a meeting location once outside. This<br />
is the spot by which everyone in the household<br />
should gather once the house has been<br />
evacuated. It should be a safe distance from<br />
the home and easily identifiable.<br />
Practice your fire escape plan twice a year,<br />
making sure to be as realistic as possible with<br />
it. Practice for safe speed — time may be of<br />
the essence.<br />
At the same time, keep in mind that practice<br />
doesn’t have to induce fear. It’s okay to<br />
warn the household ahead of time that there<br />
will be a fire drill.<br />
Faith, Hope & Charity<br />
Barnstorming Co.<br />
Once you’re out, stay out. Even if someone<br />
is missing, firefighters are much better<br />
equipped to be able to rescue them safely<br />
than you will be in a moment of panic and<br />
high adrenaline.<br />
Be cautious, be proactive, be safe. A fire can<br />
be a devastating and traumatizing experience<br />
but, by putting your safety and the safety of<br />
your family first, you’ll be best positioned to<br />
escape with the most irreplaceable thing you<br />
have: your lives.<br />

RDKB to get moving on Green Corridor<br />
Transportation will get greener in the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) thanks to a<br />
$50,000 Active Transportation Network Planning Grant from the Province of BC.<br />
The funds, combined with a $50,000 contribution from the RDKB, will lead to the development of<br />
the Lower Columbia Rolling Green Ribbon (see image below), a biking/walking corridor that will link<br />
the downtown cores of <strong>Rossland</strong>, Warfield, <strong>Trail</strong>, Montrose and Fruitvale, as well as Electoral Areas<br />
A and B. The objective will be to link major employers, schools and other amenities for the benefit of<br />
commuters and recreational users.<br />
“This project is another step the RDKB is taking to meet our strategic priorities to address environmental<br />
stewardship and climate preparedness, respond to demographic and social change, and provide<br />
cost-effective services to our residents,” said Diane Langman, chair of the RDKB’s Board of Directors.<br />
The project will include several stakeholders, including the South Kootenay Green Link (SKGL) &<br />
Active Transportation (AT) Working Group, which includes members from each of the electoral areas<br />
and municipalities involved in this initiative. Additionally, representatives from the Ministry of Transportation<br />
and Infrastructure, as well as environmental and economic organizations will be involved.<br />
A steering committee will be created to engage with community members, representatives from business<br />
and industry, cycling groups, the RCMP and the school district, among others.<br />
The next step will be for the RDKB to issue a Request for Proposals to hire a consultant to move the<br />
project forward.<br />

Christmas in The Outlet<br />
The Procter Christmas Craft Faire and the Harrop Hall Last<br />
Chance Christmas Faire have decided to combine their events<br />
this year in order to host a Covid-appropriate Holiday Market.<br />
Vendors will be spread throughout 3 festive locations on the<br />
weekend of December 5 and 6, 9 am <strong>–</strong> 3 pm in order to provide<br />
enough room for guests to socially distance comfortably<br />
while shopping.<br />
The first location will be at the Harrop Hall, the second at<br />
the Little Red Schoolhouse, and the third at the Procter Hall,<br />
plus don’t forget to check out Gallery 2<strong>29</strong> just up the road from<br />
the Procter Hall. There will be a donation jar at the door for<br />
Things get twinkly at Taghum Hall<br />
Taghum Hall has a case of elves, with no immediate cure for<br />
these seasonal twinkles. Upcoming are three twinkly events:<br />
“Gnomes for the Kitchen” on Saturday, <strong>Nov</strong>ember 27 with<br />
dollmaker Susan Forster offers participants the opportunity to<br />
make a personal gnome just in time for Christmas. “Getting<br />
Started with Alcohol Ink” with Brenda Cavalier, which runs<br />
optional entry fees. Outdoor bonfires, warm drinks, and a festive<br />
atmosphere will encourage our community to gather in a<br />
safe space, while supporting our local artisans.<br />
This is intended to be a fun tour of our community, so guests<br />
will be given a different colored ticket at each location upon<br />
paying their entrance donation. At the next location, just show<br />
your previous ticket and receive a new one for that venue.<br />
Once all three tickets have been collected, guests will be eligible<br />
to enter their name into the draw for a super-sized gift<br />
basket filled with products from ALL the vendors, which will<br />
be drawn by live video the day after the event.<br />
All Covid safety protocols will be strictly followed, and face<br />
masks required.<br />
Saturday, December 4, introduces participants to an exciting<br />
new medium. Preregistration is required for these workshops,<br />
which benefit the Hall’s kitchen renovation project. On Friday,<br />
December 10 from 4 to 9pm, “A Taghum Hall Country<br />
Christmas” is where things really get twinkly, with crafts, baking,<br />
music, a kids-only market, a visit from the Big Elf himself,<br />
and a play—“The Santa Interviews”—featuring talented young<br />
thespians. Full information at taghumhall.ca.<br />
If you are interested in being a vendor, please email Caroline<br />
at proctercommunitysociety@gmail.com or pick up your<br />
application form at the Procter Store. All products must be<br />
handmade, no distributors please.<br />
Hope to see you there! Dress warm for outdoor fun, and feel<br />
free to bring your bells, Christmas carols, and holiday spirit.<br />

Fishing report...cont’d from pg 7<br />
pockets of fish. Once you're into the fish, it seems to be busy<br />
with lots of action and double headers. Favourite bucktails have<br />
been the #203 (<strong>Nov</strong>ember Special), 210 (bleeding gill), 215 (grey<br />
ghost) and the 226.Spoons working best for us are the usual<br />
Gibbs/Delta croc. Brass/fire stripe, Hammered Brass/fire stripe,<br />
brass/fire wing have been our best lures for rainbows.<br />
And for the bull trout, it’s been the usual STS or Lemon Lime<br />
flasher followed by the Green Spatterback or Green pistachio<br />
hoochie. Depths from 80ft to 150ft have been working for us.<br />
Speed is always a factor and depends on water temperature.<br />
At this moment in time, we are running between 2.7mph and<br />
3.2mph.<br />
Hope this helps with your next adventure.<br />

Be prepared on the road!<br />
The unprecedented atmospheric river<br />
event is a really good reminder on how to<br />
actually be prepared for a road trip in British<br />
Columbia.<br />
As a kid I took it for granted with my grandparents,<br />
that no matter where we would go,<br />
there would always be the old brown Coleman<br />
cooler packed with hard boiled eggs,<br />
cold grilled cheese sandwiches, cut up veggies,<br />
thermos of coffee and a thermos of tea.<br />

They would say “you just can’t<br />
always know if you will get to<br />
where you are going around here.” These road<br />
trips from their past are a reminder of what<br />
we may face.<br />
Always be prepared, you have the room to<br />
always pack a few more things in case of an<br />
emergency. Always have a good emergency<br />
kit packed up when traveling.<br />
At a minimum you should always have on<br />
hand:<br />

Cars are sealed up enough that one candle<br />
can be enough of a source of heat to keep you<br />
warm enough when you are stranded. Always<br />
check the tire pressure in your spare tire,<br />
always try to keep as much fuel in your tank<br />
as you can in between long durations with no<br />
stations.<br />
Most importantly, ALWAYS TELL SOME-<br />
ONE your trip plans! Where are you going?<br />
When you plan on reaching your destination?<br />
What route are you taking? Promise to call or<br />
text when you reach your destination.<br />
There is always someone important in your<br />
life to relay these crucial pieces of information<br />
to. At the very least, write down your plans<br />
and leave them at home in a visible place in<br />
your residence before you leave. It maybe<br />
more important then you want to think.<br />

Recycling services<br />
Due to the unprecedented flooding and resulting<br />
highway closures across British Columbia,<br />
effective Monday, <strong>Nov</strong>ember 22, Recycle BC is<br />
suspending the collection of all glass and foam<br />
packaging (white and coloured) from Recycle<br />
BC depots. There is also the potential of recycling<br />
depot closures within the Regional District<br />
of Central Kootenay (RDCK) due to the<br />
inability of Recycle BC to deliver new containers<br />
to facilities. All recycling collected at RDCK<br />
depots is hauled on routes to the Lower Mainland<br />
for processing and sale to end markets.<br />
“This is a devastating time for our province<br />
and we appreciate the patience and understanding<br />
of RDCK residents as we work<br />
Try Qi Gong, Tai Chi<br />
Selkirk College is hosting a series of online<br />
classes in <strong>Nov</strong>ember and December. These<br />
classes will be a great way to get acquainted<br />
with the practices of Qi Gong and Tai Chi, and<br />
stay warm, fit, active and mobile as the seasons<br />
change and the temperature drops!<br />
These classes will be hosted once per week,<br />
with a 1 hour long class. The classes will be held<br />
on Saturdays at 3pm, beginning <strong>Nov</strong>ember 13,<br />
ending on Saturday, December 11.<br />
Expect a series with exercises which focus on<br />
through these exceptional circumstances,”<br />
said Amy Wilson, RDCK Resource Recovery<br />
Manager. “This is an evolving situation and<br />
we do not know how long this change will be<br />
required, but we will provide updates as information<br />
becomes available.”<br />
Recycle BC and their hauling partners have<br />
advised that local receiving facilities are nearing<br />
capacity and that new supplies required for<br />
depot operation cannot be obtained until highways<br />
are reopened.<br />
Residents are advised to store<br />
their recycling at home where<br />
possible and to only bring the<br />
accepted categories of paper<br />
and cardboard, mixed plastic<br />
of the Tai Chi forms. With drills<br />
focusing on a slightly larger<br />
frame of movement, emphasizing<br />
balance and spatial awareness,<br />
as well as the promotion of core<br />
integration (flexibility/stability),<br />
spinal health, cardiovascular<br />
function and mental relaxation.<br />
No experience necessary. If you<br />
are interested in trying Qi Gong<br />
for the first time and/or curious<br />
about getting to know what Tai<br />
Chi might be all about, this is<br />
introducing the core fundamental movements your chance!<br />

The Scarletizing of “The Addict”<br />
Addiction is not a choice. It is not a character<br />
flaw or ethical failure. It is not a symptom<br />
of a morally corrupt human being.<br />
Those who share the life of an “addict”<br />
are not co-conspirators or accomplices who<br />
aid and abet alcohol and drug use. They are<br />
human beings too, who love and cherish the<br />
“addict” as deeply as anyone loves another.<br />
“Othering” the parents of the addict, stigmatizing<br />
non-traditional families, labelling with<br />
concepts of brokenness the single mother who<br />
is struggling to survive, the absent father, the<br />
unemployed, racialized minorities, siblings<br />
and friends who may have also used drugs<br />
with “the addict,” <strong>–</strong> all of these are merely a<br />
projection. They represent nothing more than<br />
an avoidance of the disturbing reality that<br />
addiction can happen to anyone.<br />
It can happen to your son, daughter, sister,<br />
brother, wife, husband, mother, father,<br />
grandparent, aunt, uncle, colleague, or friend.<br />
Addiction can happen in the traditional<br />
nuclear family. Addiction could happen to<br />
you.<br />
Addiction occurs insidiously and mercilessly.<br />
The changes in personality and behaviour is<br />
initially nebulous and if unchecked morphs<br />
relentlessly into a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde persona.<br />
“The addict” becomes unrecognizable to<br />
those dearest and closest who are abandoned<br />
to a grief that society fails to recognize. He or<br />
she has boarded a train to which loved ones<br />
are denied access, a train from which there is<br />
rarely an exit. The journey often ends tragically<br />
in institutionalization and/or death.<br />
Shaming and blaming “the addict” is disturbingly<br />
reminiscent of the Puritanical projections<br />
in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet<br />
Letter. The means by which our society Scarletizes<br />
the addict reveals not the sins of a human<br />
being, but the inconvenient truths society<br />
refuses to allow into conscious awareness.<br />
Addiction is not a disease. The dichotomous<br />
thinking styles of those who regard “the<br />
addict” in terms of binary opposites, from a<br />
framework of good and bad, moral and corrupt,<br />
and those who regard dependency as<br />
a function of a diseased mind, might offer<br />
meaning and security in a chaotic world, but it<br />
clouds our ability to see the big picture.<br />
Our society’s propensity for<br />
black-and-white-conceptualization shows a<br />
kind of tribal thinking that clouds our ability<br />
to look at life from eyes other than our own.<br />
It is a kind of thinking style that shields us<br />
against larger truths but paradoxically locks us<br />
into a lower level of consciousness.<br />
We live with illusion that we are operating<br />
with love and altruism while acting together<br />
in a unified front that reinforces our sense<br />
of virtuousness notwithstanding the glaring<br />
social and political inequities that bespeak a<br />
different truth.<br />
The big truth about addiction is that the<br />
behaviour of “the addict” cannot be modified<br />
with behavioural modification techniques<br />
and cannot be treated with a “disease-based”<br />
medical model while ignoring the powerfully<br />
influential interaction of sociocultural<br />
and humanistic influences. The big truth is<br />
that addiction is not a chronic noncommunicative<br />
disease that can be managed with an<br />
evidence-based disease model. We need to<br />
abandon the assumptions under which we are<br />
operating and open our minds and hearts to<br />
new ways of seeing.<br />
“The addict” is a human being in a profound<br />
state of physical and/or psychological suffering.<br />
He or she is rarely blameworthy of anything<br />
more than the same imperfections manifesting<br />
in each of us. The most entrenched “addicts”<br />
are often the victims of childhood sexual<br />
abuse at the hands of those with institutionalized<br />
powers<br />
or those<br />
entrusted with<br />
their care. Others<br />
have been<br />
removed from<br />
their homes<br />
and robbed of<br />
HYBRID<br />
loving family,<br />
community,<br />
land, language,<br />
and heritage<br />
by those who<br />
ruthlessly<br />
exploited the<br />
powers vested<br />
in them. Many<br />
were the victims<br />
of abandonment<br />
by<br />
those who<br />
abdicated their<br />
responsibilities,<br />
and who<br />
were never<br />
made accountable<br />
for their<br />
actions.<br />
A significant<br />
majority<br />
of “addicts”<br />
are those who<br />
also suffered<br />
physical and/or sexual abuse in a society that<br />
turned and turns a blind eye to physical, sexual,<br />
and financial abuse committed under the<br />
patriarchal umbrella. Many were refugees<br />
escaping impossible life circumstances and<br />
turned into “sex slaves.” Some were human<br />
beings who were betrayed and deceived by<br />
others, who suffered unspeakable trauma, and<br />
abandoned and left destitute by society.<br />
A significant number of those “addicts”<br />
suffer from the painful aftermath of injuries<br />
sustained in sports, motor vehicle accidents,<br />
and falls. These individuals became the unwitting<br />
victims of the pharmaceutical industry’s<br />
exploitive practices, which implicated thousands<br />
of pharmacists and physicians in the<br />
reckless and unethical dispensation of opiates.<br />
An alarming number of those suffering<br />
from addictions have been the victims of Intimate<br />
Partner Violence. In the context of a legal<br />
system that goes to remarkable lengths to safeguard<br />
the rights of the accused, virtually nothing<br />
is done to protect the rights of the victim.<br />
The classic remedy of a “Restraining Order”<br />
offered to a woman who fears for her life and<br />
for the safety of her children, can be more like<br />
a red flag to a bull than a functional means of<br />

has been grievously wounded, the justice<br />
system offers little protection from the truly<br />
dangerous offender.<br />
Physicians with knowledge and authority to<br />
act, who can protect society’s most vulnerable,<br />
protect themselves, fearful of liability for<br />

A significant number of those with addictions<br />
have experienced “mild” traumatic brain<br />
Injury. Many of those have a lifetime history<br />
of multiple brain injuries that traumatically<br />
batter the brain and set the stage for the longterm<br />
sequelae of neuropsychiatric symptoms<br />
known as Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy<br />
(CTE). CTE is a devastating neurodegenerative<br />
disease that initially looks like dementia<br />
but evolves into what historically was regarded<br />
as “traumatic insanity” with homicidal and<br />
suicidal ideation, persecutory delusions and<br />
substance abuse.<br />
Research has proven over and over again<br />
that there is nothing “mild” about a traumatic<br />
brain injury. Even a single traumatic head<br />

injury (a pre-concussive incident) can set the<br />
brain on fire: a neuroinflammatory process<br />
can be unleashed and foreshadows neuronal<br />
death, brain mis-circuitry, and a depression in<br />
brain function.<br />
One single traumatic brain injury can<br />
unleash a cascade of symptoms that can affect<br />
every organ in the body: cognitive changes,<br />
changes in personality and behaviours, sensory<br />
(visual and hearing impairments), motor<br />
impairments (difficulties walking, talking,<br />
swallowing, and breathing), sleep impairments<br />
(insomnia, nightmares with catastrophic ideation.<br />
REM Sleep Behaviour Disorder), psychiatric<br />
impairments (anxiety, depression,<br />
suicidality), depressed immune function, and<br />
persistent pain. Functional impairments in all<br />
areas of life compromise an individual’s ability<br />
to contribute to life and to sustain relationship<br />
with others.<br />
In a desperate attempt to manage the symptom<br />
cascade, a complicated and unhealthy<br />
relationship with alcohol and drugs invariably<br />
develops. Loss upon loss, loss of employment,<br />
loss of relationships, loss of driving privileges,<br />
loss of interest in life, create an unbearable<br />
sense of worthlessness with the devastating<br />

loss of meaning and purpose in life. In the<br />
context of the battered brain, the use of alcohol<br />
and drugs is like throwing gasoline on a<br />
raging fire.<br />
Every person whom we regard as “the<br />
addict,” is a human being who has suffered tremendous<br />
emotional and/or physical trauma.<br />
“The addict” does not deserve to be pathologized,<br />
demonized, shamed, punished, or<br />
imprisoned. “The addict” does not deserve to<br />
be “Scarletized.”<br />
We are like the Captain on a Ship of Fools,<br />
allegorically described in Plato’s Republic.<br />
Jam-packed with society’s most unwanted, the<br />
ship sailed the seas in search of destinations<br />
where tickets to a freak show could be bought<br />
and sold, with a callous indifference and deafening<br />
silence to the agony of the profoundly<br />
disabled.<br />
How long will we continue to ignore the<br />
plight of “the addict?”<br />
As the numbers of those we refer to as<br />
“addicts” line our streets, flood our shelters,<br />
and plague our hospital emergency waiting<br />
rooms, AND as the frequency of accidental<br />

substance use continues to escalate, are we not<br />
being asked to look inward?<br />
Are we not being asked time and time again<br />
to reflect deeply about the way we avoid personal<br />
responsibility by blaming the victim and<br />
shirking our moral obligations to each other?<br />
The alarming number of overdose deaths in<br />
our culture is an urgent call to us all to abandon<br />
our naïve and parochial worldview.<br />
“The addict” is not a human being who<br />
can be rid of by compartmentalizing, magical<br />
thinking, or crossing our fingers. “The<br />
addict” lives in all of us, in every family, and<br />
forms part of the individual psyche and collective<br />
unconscious. It is us who need to open<br />
our hearts and to make the container of our<br />
hearts bigger. It is us who need to allow the<br />
deep pain and suffering of humanity into our<br />
conscious awareness. It is us who need to see<br />
“the addict” through the eyes of BIG truth,<br />
deep love and compassion.<br />

Sara Belinda Neufeld<br />
It is with great sadness that family and friends announce the<br />
passing of Sara Belinda Neufeld on October 28, 2021.<br />
Sara was born on June 5, 1969 in Blackpool, Lancashire. She<br />
immigrated to Calgary in 1989 with her 18-month-old son Paul.<br />
While a quiet and private person, Sara usually had a smile on<br />
her face and a twinkle in her eye. She had an English sense of<br />
humour and preferred to see the glass as half full. She always<br />
had a kind word and was quick to offer a helping hand if she<br />
could.<br />
Sara enjoyed watching hockey, football (soccer to us Canadians)<br />
and tennis. She was quite skilled with a soccer ball and<br />
sometimes took it when she walked her dog.<br />
Although she suffered with failing heath for the last several<br />
years, she never let on <strong>–</strong> she would just start a new pursuit<br />
when she could no longer do something.<br />
Good at most thing she tried, her later hobbies were kayaking<br />
and photography and she became quite good at both. Last<br />
summer she grew a nice garden and was proud of her beans<br />
and carrots and tomatoes. She was forever trying new things<br />
and truly enjoyed every day as best as she could.<br />
Loving Canada for the opportunites it had offered her, she was<br />
also proud of her English heritage. Sara loved her family, her<br />
friends and her dog. She had a great love for animals of all<br />
kinds, and even had a tree frog that became a pet of sorts for<br />
the last couple of years. A friend arranged for her to go horseback<br />
riding with Herb Thompson a few years ago, something<br />
she’d wanted to do all her life. She beamed for days about<br />
that. Sara had a presence on several online forums as she was<br />
house bound for several hours each day. She made friends<br />
all over world: Tasmaia, LA, North Carolina and London on a<br />
spaniel site; and one for Brits abroad as well as a local photography<br />
forum.<br />
She will be fondly remembered and missed by everyone who<br />
had the opportunity to know her. We would like to thank the<br />
doctors, nurses and all the staff at Kootenay Lake Hospital in<br />
Kaslo for all your support, care and compassion through Sara’s<br />
journey, and know she considered you all as friends as well.<br />
Introducing Picnic, the new social<br />
enterprise and community hub by the<br />
incredible folks at Kootenay Food and<br />
West Kootenay Permaculture Coop (WKP-<br />
Coop). This beautiful all-season outdoor cafe,<br />
located in Winlaw on unceded Sinixt Territory,<br />
is re-inventing what it means to give<br />
back.<br />
“When COVID hit, we had to pivot and<br />
figure out what it would all look like,” said<br />
Damon Chouinard, of the West Kootenay<br />
Permaculture Coop. “We<br />
went from having a very<br />
strong volunteer model to<br />
having to find ways to hire<br />
people. Meanwhile a lot of<br />
our income dried up suddenly<br />
During COVID, we<br />
also took on a delivery program<br />
of sorts where we could<br />
take a gift bundle filled with<br />
jams, soups, kale chips and<br />
granola, and bring it to someone<br />
in need. Or if someone<br />
needed medications picked<br />
up in town, we’d pull it all<br />
together. From there, the next<br />
step was Picnic.”<br />
Picnic is thrilled to explore<br />
the food access side of Kootenay<br />
Food from their cafe,<br />
having just launched their<br />
new free soup and smile program.<br />
Anyone can come in<br />
Rest in Peace Dear Girl<br />
for a free cup of soup on the<br />
days they are open, or you<br />
can pay $5 for a cup of soup,<br />
which is essentially buying a<br />
cup of soup for someone in<br />
need.The program will run<br />
through the winter into the<br />
summer of 2022.<br />
Picnic is not just about<br />
reducing barriers to food for<br />
those who need it, they’re all<br />
about offering organic, Kootenay Food-centric,<br />
high quality and seasonal food at a fair<br />
price. For instance, they don’t have avocado<br />
on the menu since it’s not a local product.<br />
They also offer a few vegan and gluten-free<br />
options which they hope to produce more of.<br />
“We’ve had a pretty incredible response<br />
from the community,” said Shauna Fidler of<br />
Kootenay Food. “People are pretty elated that<br />
they can come here for an amazing cup of<br />
coffee (from our master barista Giselle), and<br />
get high-quality organic food. We’re using the<br />
peak harvest of the season and Ananda, our<br />
chef, is super skillful in value processing...<br />
making hot sauce from local peppers, housemade<br />
pickles, ferments, kimchi and jams.<br />
Almost everything is made from scratch,<br />
in-house. It’s pretty amazing.”<br />
They’re also looking for their community<br />
to stock their pantries with Picnic’s shelf-stable,<br />
local and organic preserves. They have<br />
an incredible line-up, from cardamon-ginger<br />
peach jam and candied jalapenos to pickled<br />
beets and classic dill pickles.<br />
“The stresses to our supply chains over the<br />
past couple years have opened up the eyes of<br />
everyone when it comes to food and supplies,”<br />
said Chouinard. “A social enterprise and cafe<br />
like Picnic and the model we want to explore<br />
is fast becoming more relevant than ever.”<br />
Picnic now employs six local employees<br />
and they’re in the process of winterizing their<br />
space at the Spicer Centre behind Rambling<br />
Rose and Spinning Fables. They have a beautiful<br />
tent, propane heaters and will be making<br />
more improvements over the coming weeks<br />
to keep people warm and fed.<br />
Check out the Kootenay Food Pop-Up<br />
Shops, during Slocan <strong>Valley</strong> Cheer, happening<br />
on December 4, 11 and 18, 2021. You’ll<br />
have the chance to stock up on pickles, jam,<br />
sauces and more. Your purchases will help<br />
feed your community and support this unique<br />
social enterprise. Come for amazing coffee,<br />
delicious local<br />
organic food,<br />

Oxygen Art Centre Online Mentorship<br />
Youth Scholarships<br />
Oxygen Art Centre (OAC) announces<br />
a new online Mentorship Program. There<br />
are currently two scholarships available for<br />
youth, 16 <strong>–</strong> 24 years old. The mentorship is<br />
comprised of two 1-hour mentorship sessions<br />
with one of OAC’s Artist Faculty.<br />
The online mentorship will be individually<br />
designed to meet the needs and interests<br />
of the individual youth artist, potentially<br />
involving technical demonstrations, advice,<br />
professional development, and/or critique<br />
regarding a specific project or technical area<br />
of development.<br />
Organized in a two-session format, each<br />
mentorship will allow mentees to begin an<br />
area of inquiry in the first session and then<br />
have the opportunity to put some of their<br />
learning into practice before sharing and discussing<br />
their new work or development in the<br />
second session.<br />
Scholarship applications are now open and<br />
will remain open until the scholarships have<br />
been allocated.<br />
