How to avoid spring cleaning stress<br />

Many of us dread the pressure to do a major clean of your<br />

home at this time of year. Although it’s a great way to boost<br />

your confidence and gain pride in your space, it can feel like<br />

a lot to take on. In fact, according to a recent survey commissioned<br />

by Libman, a quarter of all respondents admitted that<br />

spring cleaning overwhelms them.<br />

Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to make<br />

cleaning less distressing.<br />

Plan your attack<br />

It doesn’t matter where you start or end your spring cleaning<br />

so long as you create a rough plan before you begin. That way<br />

it’s easier to stay on task and avoid getting overwhelmed since<br />

you know what you’ve done and where you’ll clean next.<br />

Be realistic about the time you need for each task, and don’t<br />

be afraid to schedule some of the larger ones across separate<br />

days. This will give you more breathing room, so you’re not<br />

stressed out trying to complete an impossible list in one go.<br />

Get ready to compete<br />

Whatever you can do to up the fun when it comes to cleaning<br />

is fair game. It could be as elaborate as a family wide competition<br />

for the most streak-free windows cleaned or as simple<br />

as putting on your favourite tunes. Keeping your mood up and<br />

your pace moving will take your mind off how much more you<br />

still need to accomplish, and it will help you finish faster.<br />

Reject perfection<br />

Hailed as a time to refresh and reset, spring cleaning sometimes<br />

feels like the one chance to get your home in order for<br />

the rest of the year. But if that feeling leaves you overwhelmed,<br />

remember that any cleaning you get done is better than not<br />

cleaning at all; it doesn’t have to be done perfectly.<br />

Assemble your tools<br />

Having the right tools on hand helps ensure you’ll get the<br />

job done with confidence. So, do an inventory of your supplies<br />

and stock up before you begin. Look for environmentally sustainable<br />

supplies and tools that are built with ergonomics and<br />

efficiency in mind.<br />

Walk for Alzheimer’s<br />

National Volunteer Week at the end of April provides an<br />

opportunity to recognize the key role volunteers play in <strong>Nelson</strong><br />

and other communities around the province.<br />

This is especially true of the Alzheimer Society of BC’s flagship<br />

fundraiser, the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s.<br />

Every year, volunteer committees <strong>–</strong> including one in<br />

<strong>Nelson</strong> <strong>–</strong> organize, promote, fundraise and build awareness<br />

of the Walk and the cause. It is because of their commitment<br />

and passion that the Alzheimer Society can run this successful<br />

event to support crucial programs and services for British<br />

Columbians affected by dementia.<br />

“We are so grateful to all the volunteers who help with the<br />

Walk. Every year, we are deeply impressed by the generosity<br />

and dedication they display when it comes to supporting<br />

British Columbians on the dementia journey,” says Cathryn<br />

France, Director of Resource Development at the Alzheimer<br />

Society of BC. “Our volunteers are the main force behind our<br />

event. They raise awareness about the disease and they help us<br />

make a difference in the lives of people affected by dementia.”<br />

She will be sorely missed by her extended family at Greene<br />

remained good and loyal friends for life.<br />

Authors Maureen Brownlee and<br />

Deryn Collier<br />

In the spring of 2020, Valemount<br />

novelist, Maureen Brownlee was<br />

planning a book tour to promote<br />

her new novel due out in the fall<br />

of that year. Like many things,<br />

the pandemic put a pause on it<br />

all. Now after almost two years,<br />

Brownlee celebrates the launch of<br />

her new novel, Cambium Blue with<br />

an author reading and chat at the<br />

<strong>Nelson</strong> Library on Wednesday,<br />

<strong>May</strong> 4 at 7 pm.<br />

Cambium Blue is set in the<br />

British Columbia Interior. The<br />

story follows three residents as their lives intertwine and it’s<br />

an homage to resource towns, independent women and local<br />

newspapers.<br />

Brownlee is forgoing the usual format of lone author reading<br />

at a podium and has invited <strong>Nelson</strong> mystery writer, Deryn<br />

<strong>Salmo</strong> Community<br />

gets upgrades<br />

The <strong>Salmo</strong> Community Resource Society<br />

is improving its programs and office building<br />

by adding LED lighting and occupancy<br />

sensors; replacing the metal roof and exit<br />

stairway; replacing the air conditioner with<br />

a high efficiency unit; adding attic insulation;<br />

and repairing the cracked foundation.<br />

“We appreciate the Trust’s support as<br />

we upgrade our 311 Railway office,” said<br />

Maureen Berk, executive director. “We<br />

moved into the space in 2005 and the<br />

years have taken a toll and upgrades are<br />

necessary. As well as making the building<br />

Collier to join her in conversation. Brownlee explains, “We’ll<br />

each read a bit, and chat about writing, and then open it up for<br />

questions about the books, writing and publishing.” Brownlee<br />

thinks readers and writers will enjoy the format, “I always say<br />

that the only thing better than writing is talking about writing.”<br />

Deryn Collier is the author of the Bern Fortin novels Confined<br />

Space and Open Secret. “I’m really looking forward to talking<br />

with Maureen about her new book and about how writing and<br />

publishing went for<br />

each of us during<br />

the pandemic,” Courses Coming up in <strong>Nelson</strong><br />

says Collier. Collier<br />

will read a never-before<br />

shared<br />

excerpt from her<br />

manuscript A Real<br />

Somebody, a historical<br />

mystery set in<br />

Montreal in 1947.<br />

Brownlee is<br />

also leading a free<br />

mini-workshop for<br />

more sustainable and providing a level of<br />

comfort, the improvements will enhance<br />

safety and reduce costs.”<br />

We’re looking for a new board member for the Central Kootenay<br />

Invasive Species Society (CKISS) board—someone who<br />

is interested in protecting the environment, working as a team<br />

member, and can make a two-year commitment. As a member<br />

of our board, you will attend quarterly board meetings, stand<br />

on a committee and join other board members in guiding the<br />

work of CKISS.<br />

For more information and to download an application, visit<br />

https://ckiss.ca. If you are not a member then register here<br />

and indicate your interest in the board. If you are already a<br />

member email or send in your application to info@ckiss.ca.<br />

The deadline to apply is Friday <strong>May</strong> 6, 2022, at 5 pm.<br />

Would your acreage benefit from soil amendment?<br />

Mercer Celgar is looking for landowners with 2 or more acres within 55 km<br />

that would benefit from using their Celgrow soil amendment. Pastures and<br />

hay fields are good options.<br />

Mercer Celgar will cover the costs of a Qualified Professional performing<br />

soil sampling, obtaining government authorization and delivery costs of Celgrow<br />

soil amendment based on access with a large truck/pup combination.<br />

Acreage should be able to accommodate at least 6 truck/pup loads. The two<br />

major components of Celgrow are individual wood fibres lost from the pulping<br />

process and surplus bacteria from the wastewater biological treatment<br />

facility. Wood fibres enhance soil moisture retention and bacteria are a good<br />

source of soil nutrients. The landowner is responsible for spreading and incorporating<br />

Celgrow into their soil.<br />

If interested, please contact Len Hewat<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 />

We would especially like to thank our parents Molly<br />

and Paul, sisters Karen and Gail, daughter Danica,<br />

and our nieces Kayda, Casey <strong>–</strong> and Amber who<br />

has always been there for us. They have all been an<br />

important part of this family-run business.<br />

And to all the rest of our employees, past and<br />

present, who we have been blessed to work with<br />

<strong>–</strong> a very big Thank You as well. You are all part of<br />

our larger Cornucopia family.<br />

We are so happy to be leaving the store in the<br />

good care of another longtime local family,<br />

Jon & Dana Carlson.<br />

We wish them all the best. <strong>May</strong> they find joy and<br />

success in their new venture.<br />

Besides being a fun word to<br />

say, this permaculture technique<br />

may be just what you<br />

need to apply in your garden.<br />

Chances are you live on a lot<br />

that was once marginal forest<br />

land, or the topsoil was scraped<br />

away in an attempt to create a<br />

‘Kootenay level’ lot. Whatever<br />

the reason, if you have poor<br />

soil, and not enough of that,<br />

hugelkultur might be your<br />

solution. Permaculture advocates<br />

claim that the technique<br />

improves soil fertility, water<br />

retention, and the soil will warm<br />

earlier in spring and retain its<br />

warmth later in the fall.<br />

Hugelkutur is also known<br />

as mound culture or hill culture.<br />

Simply put, one creates<br />

a mound of materials that will<br />

slowly decompose. Your crop is<br />

planted on top of the mounds.<br />

In its basic form, mounds are<br />

constructed by piling branches,<br />

plant waste, compost and<br />

“Spring has<br />

sprung and we<br />

you need to tackle<br />

additional soil directly on the<br />

ground. If you’re hugel-ling a<br />

lawn area, cut the sod away,<br />

and place sod blocks upside<br />

down over the wood.<br />

If your yard is sloped, the beds<br />

need to follow the contours.<br />

You can also have some fun and<br />

design mazes or wheels <strong>–</strong> go all<br />

free-form!<br />

The first year of break down<br />

means the wood (and fungi)<br />

steal a lot of the nitrogen out of<br />

the surrounding environment,<br />

so plant crops that add nitrogen<br />

Run like a mother for a good cause<br />

Did you hear? Are you ready for it? The first annual Run<br />

Like A Mother Half Marathon, 10 km and 5 km road race<br />

is coming to <strong>Nelson</strong> on <strong>May</strong> 5. And the event will support a<br />

good cause <strong>–</strong> the Kootenay Kids Society.<br />

The Half Marathon is a beautiful course that takes you to<br />

all the gems of <strong>Nelson</strong>. You will experience Baker St, B.O.B<br />

(our big orange bridge), Horlick Point, and the historic Great<br />

Northern Rail Trail. This race starts and finishes at Hall St<br />

Plaza. <strong>Nelson</strong> is known for its hills so be prepared to climb<br />

1700 feet throughout the 21 km.<br />

This 10 km race has some epic waterfront views along<br />

Bealby rd where you turn around at Horlick Point and head<br />

back downtown along the Fairview neighbourhood bikeway.<br />

The 5K is a fun out-and-back run along <strong>Nelson</strong>’s new Fairview<br />

to downtown neighbourhood bikeway.<br />

Tick talk<br />

Spring is here and the warmer weather means more people will<br />

be out hiking in tall grass or wooded areas which can also mean<br />

an increased chance of getting tick bites. Ticks are small bugs<br />

that bite and feed on the blood of humans and animals and can<br />

sometimes transmit disease. Fortunately, there are precautions<br />

people can take to prevent illnesses that may be transmitted from<br />

tick bites.<br />

“There are easy things you can do to protect yourself from ticks<br />

such as covering up before you head outdoors and checking for<br />

ticks when returning from a walk, hike or bike ride,” said Dr.<br />

Fatemeh Sabet, Interior Health medical health officer. “Most tick<br />

bites do not result in illness; however, any bite from a tick should<br />

be cleaned because infection can occur whenever there is a break<br />

in the skin.”<br />

Ticks also have toxins that can cause temporary muscle weakness<br />

and paralysis if they are attached for several days <strong>–</strong> especially<br />

in children or seniors <strong>–</strong> but the symptoms fade once the tick is<br />

removed from the skin. The signs of many tick-borne infections<br />

can be quite similar and include fever, headache, muscle pain and<br />

rash.<br />

One of the most important ways to reduce the risk of tick illnesses<br />

is to do a skin check on yourself and your children after<br />

being outdoors. As well, follow these additional precautions:<br />

• Walk on cleared trails when in tall grass or wooded areas.<br />

• Wear a hat, long sleeves, pants and light-coloured clothing.<br />

• Tuck pant legs into socks or boots.<br />

• Apply insect repellent containing DEET on uncovered<br />

skin.<br />

• Carefully check clothing and scalp (covered or not) when<br />

leaving an area where ticks may live.<br />

• Regularly check household pets for ticks.<br />

If you find a tick on yourself, a family member or pet, wear<br />

gloves when removing it and be careful not to crush the tick as<br />

this could cause it to inject its stomach contents into your skin.<br />

Other tips to remove ticks safely include:<br />

• Use needle-nose tweezers to gently grasp the tick close to<br />

the skin.<br />

• Without squeezing, pull the tick straight out.<br />

• After removal, clean the area with soap and water.<br />

• If you find a tick, check very carefully for others.<br />

You can report a tick and submit a photo to eTick.ca to have<br />

it identified.<br />

Most individuals with acute Lyme disease do not notice the<br />

biting tick that precedes the illness. If you have concerns or need<br />

assistance removing a tick, please contact your family doctor or<br />

visit a walk-in medical clinic.<br />

Quick facts:<br />

While ticks are common in the Interior Health region, most<br />

are the wood tick (Dermacentor andersoni) which do not carry<br />

the Lyme disease bacteria. The wood tick can carry other diseases<br />

such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, although it is rare.<br />

Lyme disease-carrying ticks (I. pacificus) are more common<br />

in the coastal areas of BC. Anyone who has the typical bull’s-eye<br />

target skin rash of Lyme disease, or other symptoms compatible<br />

with Lyme disease, should see their physician.<br />

Brandy is beautiful brindle 2-year-old girl that came in as a stray<br />

from our area. We do not have any history on her as an owner<br />

never came forward. She is very playful and full of energy.<br />

She is good with dogs and kids, although she might be too<br />

rambunctious for smaller children. She is a strong girl so we do<br />

recommend some leash training, but she does well once you get<br />

going. She loves spending time with people and would make a<br />

lovely companion.<br />

IDIDaRide Deets!<br />

Trails for two of the three races are confirmed for July 3<br />

iDIDaRide in Kaslo.<br />

17 km: the mid range course, for both riders and runners.<br />

Kaslo arena is the staging point this year and participants will<br />

head west down Arena Ave and climb up into the True Blue<br />

Trail system via the Hemlock network to the gravel pit. From<br />

there you will follow Bjerkness Road and jump back onto<br />

the trail system at Sourdough, through to Destiny Ridge,<br />

the Connector and climb up to Strawberry Ridge. You will<br />

descend from there and connect with Straight Face, on to<br />

Look Waaay Up, and I’ll Call Rusty. You pop out on Lettrari<br />

Loop and back to the Arena via Arena Ave.<br />

This will be somewhat challenging <strong>–</strong> and full on fun! There<br />

will be an aid station with food and drinks at the bottom of<br />

Strawberry Ridge<br />

30 km: the long race is for riders only. It too will start at<br />

the Kaslo Arena and head west on Arena Ave climbing the<br />

Hemlock network to the gravel pit. Riders will then cross the<br />

gravel pit to climb the short dirt road to ’N’ Zone, continuing<br />

up Spanish Moss to Sleepy Hollow, onto the Connector,<br />

Strawberry Ridge, Straight Face, then bounce out onto Bjerkness<br />

Road. There is more excitement to be experienced after<br />

this point, which will remain a secret until it is ready to be<br />

revealed! It will include some black diamond rated sections <strong>–</strong><br />

not overwhelming but a bit gitchy. There will be at least one<br />

aid station with food and drinks on this course.<br />

5-8 km: Head scratchin’ for the short course is still under<br />

way. The plan is to have a user friendly (ride & run) 5 <strong>–</strong> 8<br />

km route with limited climbing. Stay tuned for more info or<br />

monitor the website if this is the event you are interested in.<br />

www.iDIDaRide-kaslo.ca<br />

Folks should know that iDIDaRide is a race but in fact<br />

about 2/3 of participants are just looking to have a nice ride<br />

or run on Kaslo’s amazing trail system. Everyone is welcome<br />

no matter what your goal is!<br />

Registration is open, just visit www.iDIDaRide-kaslo.ca<br />

Details will continue to be updated.<br />
