KAAP callout 

Might you be interested in fostering a cat or dog while it 

awaits its forever home? 

The Kootenay Animal Assistance Program Society (KAAP) 

was founded to meet the needs of homeless and disadvantaged 

pets who might otherwise fall between the cracks in existing 

services. KAAP is a registered charity serving the West Kootenay: 

we are 100% volunteer, and no-kill. 

Since we are a very small group of volunteers, we rely upon 

and ask a lot from our fosters: that they have good communication 

skills, be responsible for transporting their KAAP pets 

to and from occasional vet appointments, take high quality 

pictures and videos for online advertising, and be available 

for screened potential adopters to visit your home and meet 

– and hopefully adopt – the pet. Some paperwork may also 

be required. 

KAAP has 2 different foster applications – one for cats, one 

for dogs. If you are in a position to foster a cat or a dog, please 

let us know. Go to KAAP.ca and download the appropriate 

form to your computer, fill it out, save it and email it back to 

us at contact@kaap.ca.

Did you know? 

Under the weather… Where does that expression come from? 

Keeping watch onboard sailing ships was a boring and 

tedious job, but the worst watch station was on the “weather” 

(windward) side of the bow. The sailor who was assigned to 

this station was subject to the constant pitching and rolling of 

the ship. By the end of his watch, he would be soaked from 

the waves crashing over the bow. A sailor who was assigned 

to this unpleasant duty was said to be “under the weather.” 

Sometimes, these men fell ill and died as a result of the assignment, 

which is why today “under the weather” is used to refer 

to someone suffering from an illness. A related theory claims 

that ill sailors were sent below deck (or “under the weather”) 

if they were feeling sick.

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!

work on the opioid overdose symptoms. After giving breaths 

and naloxone, the person may begin breathing normally, but 

may not wake up. More doses of naloxone should only be 

given if the person is not breathing normally (less than 10 

breaths a minute). If the person is breathing normally but 

remains unconscious, place in recovery position and stay with 

them until emergency services arrive. 

• No matter what or how you use (smoking, snorting, 

injecting) take steps to prevent overdose 

• Know the risks when mixing drugs 

• If you must use while alone, consider using the Lifeguard 

app which can connect you with 911 emergency 

responders if you overdose. Download at the App Store 

or Google Play. 

• When using your substance start with a small amount, 

and then go slow. 

• Use with others or at an Overdose Prevention or Supervised 

Consumption Site, if one is near you.

RDCK recreation facilities 

working their way back to 

normal 

The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) welcomes 

the lifting of capacity restrictions and physical distancing 

requirements announced yesterday by the Provincial Health 

Officer (PHO), which will allow RDCK recreation facilities to 

begin to open up services to more people. 

“The lifting of restrictions is a positive sign for our recreation 

centres and our staff, because it means we can start working 

our way back to normal,” said Joe Chirico, General Manager of 

Community Services at the RDCK. “We look forward to opening 

up fitness, aquatics and other recreational opportunities to 

more people in the coming days, in line with what our current 

staffing levels will allow us to do safely.” 

While capacity limits have been lifted, RDCK recreation facilities 

will be reviewing how many 

people they can safely accommodate, 

and whether advance reservations 

for general admission fitness, 

aquatics and skating will still be 

required. This will look different at 

each recreation facility. Guests are 

encouraged to visit the website at 

www.rdck.ca/recreation to find out 

more about changes to each facility’s 

operating hours and admission 

process. 

Proof of vaccination with an official 

scannable QR code for those 

12 and older, along with government-issued 

proof of identity for 

those 19 and older, is still required 

for recreation programs and services. 

Masks are also still required 

in all public indoor spaces at RDCK 

recreation facilities. Masks are not 

required while exercising, but are 

encouraged. 

Time-based memberships 

(RDCK Active Passes) that were 

previously on hold will be removed 

from hold and available for regular 

use as of Thursday, February 

17. Exceptions may be in place for 

facilities that have reduced general 

admissions due to staffing levels. 

Creston and District Community 

Complex (CDCC) has closed its 

aquatics centre as of February 16 

until further notice due to staffing 

shortages, and pass-holders 

can contact the CDCC directly to 

request a hold. 

Capacity limits for spectators 

at sporting events have also been 

lifted. Attendees of events at RDCK 

facilities must follow proof of vaccination 

and masking requirements, 

and should follow signage and staff 

direction for checking in to events.

Hospice Society of 

North Kootenay Lake AGM 

The public is invited to attend our AGM: Saturday, March 5th, 

10 am, via Zoom 

Hospice palliative care is dedicated to relief of suffering and 

improving the quality of life for people and their families who are 

living with or dying from advanced illness, and anyone experiencing 

grief and loss. 

The hospice society also offers community education and information 

aimed at increasing knowledge, confidence and support 

for community members dealing with end of life or loss in the 

lives of themselves, family or friends. Upcoming educational sessions 

planned so far, this year will cover green burial, grief support, 

dying process and end of life decisions & planning featuring 

guest speakers such as Dr. Trevor Janz and Christa Ovenell (the 

Death’s Apprentice heard on CBC). Being informed and knowledgeable 

can help in maintaining dignity and control throughout 

all stages of life. 

The work of our hospice is to be in service to others and is 

largely done by highly trained and skilled volunteers, the hardworking 

board of directors, and our executive director. 

Please call us at 250 353 2299, email hospice@kaslo.org or visit 

the website www.hsnkl.org. for more information or to become a 

member or to register for the AGM (also see the classified ad in 

this copy of the Pennywise for AGM details). A current membership 

is required for voting at the AGM. 

The Hospice Society of North Kootenay Lake is very grateful to 

our volunteers and members, to those who have donated financial 

gifts and supported us with grants including CBT, RDCK, BC 

Gaming, CFNKL, IHA and Village of Kaslo.

Host your own 

Soup for the Cultured Soul 

One of Castlegar’s favourite social events is back – with a 

twist. Soup for the Cultured Soul has been a successful fundraiser 

for the Kootenay Gallery of Art since 2011. Top Castlegar 

chefs offer their finest soups in unique pottery bowls that 

guests take home with them. 

Last year, the event was cancelled but this year we are offering 

a new option. Kootenay Gallery is on the move and now 

the soup event is too. The Kootenay Gallery is looking for people 

to host between 4 and 10 people in your homes or wherever 

you prefer. 

On the day of March 26, volunteers will deliver gourmet 

soups from each of the participating restaurants with heating 

and serving instructions, hand-crafted pottery bowls that each 

person can keep, buns donated by Castlegar Safeway, bottles of 

Hester Creek wine, and Doodle Bug Chocolates. The package 

will also contain recipe books, activity ideas, and coupons. 

The chefs who are creating this year’s soups are from The 

Black Rooster, Chef ’s Choice, The Grateful Table (formerly 

The Wandering Greek Oven), Kim’s Catering Creations and 

The Nineteenth. The Kootenay Gallery is grateful to these 

businesses for donating these delicious soups as well as their 

time, energy and recipes. We encourage you to visit and support 

these establishments. 

If you are interested in hosting, invite some friends and contact 

the Kootenay Gallery to register. Your guests can either 

pay us directly or you can collect and pay the Kootenay Gallery 

for your party. The cost per person is $55 for hosts or 

Kootenay Gallery members and $65 for guests who are not 

members of the Gallery. This is a good value as the bowls alone 

often retail for $30 to $45, the soups are spectacular and we 

will be generous with the wine. 

The delivery range is Castlegar and area (Blueberry, Robson, 

Ootischenia, etc) Folks living beyond this are can participate 

Get as low as 

0% financing 

+ 

$1,000 bonus 

on select 2022 Sportage models 

by picking up their package at the Gallery on March 26 before 

5:00. 

Funds raised through this fun event will go towards relocating 

the gallery downtown. 

Please register to be a host by contacting the Kootenay Gallery 

at 250 365 3337 or email kootenaygallery@telus.net by 

March 12. The deadline for purchasing tickets is March 19.

Opportunity for Review and Comment 

BC Timber Sales – Kootenay Business Area 

2022-2027 Forest Stewardship Plan #914 

BC Timber Sales (BCTS), Kootenay Business Area, hereby gives notice that its proposed 2022 to 2027 Forest 

Stewardship Plan (FSP) #914 is being made publicly available for review and written comment before 

it is submitted for approval to the delegated decision maker for the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural 

Resource Operations and Rural Development. This FSP will replace the currently approved FSP #601. 

The FSP is a landscape-level plan that identifies how the holder of the plan will be consistent with 

government objectives for managing and protecting forest and range values through the results, 

strategies and measures proposed in the plan. The FSP also provides a means to solicit and consider 

the expectations of the public and stakeholders and to consult with First Nations concerning the use of 

Crown/public land and resources. Once approved, the FSP will guide future forest development including 

road construction, timber harvesting and silviculture activities. 

FSP #914 applies to BCTS’ planning and proposed operations, licences and permits within the Rocky 

Mountain Natural Resource District and the Selkirk Natural Resource District and includes forest 

development units covering the Boundary, West Kootenay and East Kootenay regions. 

BCTS is following the provincial direction on old growth deferral areas. Until direction is received from 

government following consultation with First Nations, timber sale licenses will be developed to exclude 

any verified overlap areas, either by removing them completely from blocks or placing them in reserves. 

The draft FSP #914 will be available to the public for review and comment from February 17, 2022 to 

April 18, 2022 and can be viewed online at: 

www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/forestry/bc-timber-sales/fsp 

Written comments may be submitted to the address below or sent by email to 

TKO.FSP@gov.bc.ca; please include “FSP” in the subject line of all correspondence. 

Comments must be received on or before April 18, 2022, to be considered. 

Paper copies of the draft FSP are also available upon request.

Skitters is a little shy – she earned her name by skittering 

away when approached – as she did not get early 

socializing. She came from a home with several other 

cats but is now doing well in her foster home and getting 

more comfortable all the time. She has discovered 

getting all the attention is wonderful! 

Skitters is now looking for her forever home.

New Democrat MLA Brittny Anderson says families in the 

Kootenays will save money on childcare bills as local childcare 

centres become $10-a-Day ChildcareBC Centres where fees 

are capped at a maximum of $200 a month. 

“More and more families are able to get their kids into safe, 

nurturing childcare spaces here in the Kootenays,” said MLA 

Anderson. “And we know those spaces also need to be affordable. 

We’re expanding our $10-a-day childcare options across 

the province and here at home, making sure that everyone who 

needs childcare can access it, and that kids have a good start to 

their educational journey.” 

As of February 1, 2022, Kootenay Kids Society in Nelson, 

Corner Stones Childcare Centre in Revelstoke, Blossom & Bud 

Childcare in Creston, Little Badger Early Leaning Program in 

Windermere, and Stepping Stones Children’s Centre in Nakusp 

are all becoming $10-a-Day ChildCareBC sites. This will lower 

costs for the parents of the 158 children currently learning in 

these spaces. 

For families earning $111,000 or less, savings can be stacked 

with the BC Affordable Child Care Benefit to cut fees even further, 

meaning some parents are able to access childcare at no 

cost. 

More $10-a-day spaces throughout the province will be 

announced in the coming months as childcare providers are 

confirmed to participate. 

These new $10-a-Day ChildcareBC Centres are part of Government’s 

10-year ChildCareBC plan to build a future where 

childcare is a core service that’s available to every family that 

wants it, when they need it, at a price they can afford. 

For more information on the $10-a-Day ChildCareBC sites 

and spaces: www.gov.bc.ca/childcare10aDaysites
