INTRO 

How to avoid spring cleaning stress 

Many of us dread the pressure to do a major clean of your 

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

your confidence and gain pride in your space, it can feel like 

a lot to take on. In fact, according to a recent survey commissioned 

by Libman, a quarter of all respondents admitted that 

spring cleaning overwhelms them. 

Fortunately, there are some steps you can take to make 

cleaning less distressing. 

Plan your attack 

It doesn’t matter where you start or end your spring cleaning 

so long as you create a rough plan before you begin. That way 

it’s easier to stay on task and avoid getting overwhelmed since 

you know what you’ve done and where you’ll clean next. 

Be realistic about the time you need for each task, and don’t 

be afraid to schedule some of the larger ones across separate 

days. This will give you more breathing room, so you’re not 

stressed out trying to complete an impossible list in one go. 

Get ready to compete 

Whatever you can do to up the fun when it comes to cleaning 

is fair game. It could be as elaborate as a family wide competition 

for the most streak-free windows cleaned or as simple 

as putting on your favourite tunes. Keeping your mood up and 

your pace moving will take your mind off how much more you 

still need to accomplish, and it will help you finish faster. 

Reject perfection 

Hailed as a time to refresh and reset, spring cleaning sometimes 

feels like the one chance to get your home in order for 

the rest of the year. But if that feeling leaves you overwhelmed, 

remember that any cleaning you get done is better than not 

cleaning at all; it doesn’t have to be done perfectly. 

Assemble your tools 

Having the right tools on hand helps ensure you’ll get the 

job done with confidence. So, do an inventory of your supplies 

and stock up before you begin. Look for environmentally sustainable 

supplies and tools that are built with ergonomics and 

efficiency in mind.

Walk for Alzheimer’s 

National Volunteer Week at the end of April provides an 

opportunity to recognize the key role volunteers play in Nelson 

and other communities around the province. 

This is especially true of the Alzheimer Society of BC’s flagship 

fundraiser, the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s. 

Every year, volunteer committees – including one in 

Nelson – organize, promote, fundraise and build awareness 

of the Walk and the cause. It is because of their commitment 

and passion that the Alzheimer Society can run this successful 

event to support crucial programs and services for British 

Columbians affected by dementia. 

“We are so grateful to all the volunteers who help with the 

Walk. Every year, we are deeply impressed by the generosity 

and dedication they display when it comes to supporting 

British Columbians on the dementia journey,” says Cathryn 

France, Director of Resource Development at the Alzheimer 

Society of BC. “Our volunteers are the main force behind our 

event. They raise awareness about the disease and they help us 

make a difference in the lives of people affected by dementia.” 

your own way” at a time and date of your choice. And until 

May 29, registrants will have the opportunity to win $1000.00.

If you are affected by dementia, the Alzheimer Society of BC 

can help. Call the First Link® Dementia Helpline at 1-800-936-

Quidditch, anyone? 

It is certainly rare that a student can 

read a book, and then fully immerse 

themselves into that very fantastical 

story-world. 

‘Haghum School of Magical Beings’ 

offers youth aged 11-17 just such an 

experience. Students engage in Harry 

Potter themed activities based on JK 

Rowling’s award-winning, world-renown 

book series. While competing 

for the prestigious 2022 HOUSE CUP 

award, students rely on multi-aged 

team-building to achieve success. 

This year, based primarily on Book 

II, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, event organizers 

present activities very close to ‘the real thing’, including wandwork, 

quests, House Elves, and Quidditch! 

All fully-registered students receive precise event info via 

Owl-POST in early June. Magical-school themed group activities 

occupy the afternoon. Students celebrate together with an 

evening vegetarian banquet in the Great Hall. 

This is a popular annual dress-up event used as a fundraiser 

for the Taghum Hall kitchen renovation project. Pre-registration 

required before May 15. Event is scheduled for June 18,

It is with great sadness and loss that we must say goodbye 

to Marianne Iris 

Scoular-Amatto who 

passed away battling 

pancreatic cancer 

on the 25th of April. 

She has moved on to 

greener horizons at 

the age of 64. 

Marianne is survived 

by her loving 

daughter Jaime 

(Greg) Bratland and 

her grandchildren 

Jack and Georgia, her 

sister Linda Scoular 

(Peter) and niece Erin 

(Greg) and a fondly 

remembered brother-in-law, Dan Frayne. Her husband Tom 

Amatto predeceased her in 2020. 

She will be sorely missed by her extended family at Greene 

Horizons, especially her “adopted” Mexican family and 

many more. Marianne made friends wherever she went 

with her wicked sense of humour and sharp tongue; many 

remained good and loyal friends for life. 

Cremation has taken place in Cambridge, Ontario.

Paddle and learn this summer with 

Wildsight’s youth field school 

Youth from across the Columbia Basin have a unique opportunity 

this summer to be immersed in the mighty Columbia 

River. 

Wildsight’s Columbia River Field School (CRFS) is a canoe 

trip and learning adventure for students aged 15-18. Students 

paddle key sections of the Canadian side of the Columbia

“The field school provides an opportunity for learning that 

is real, lived and felt,” says Monica Nissen, Wildight’s Education

that are inextricably 

linked to the 

Columbia River and 

this watershed.” 

Spanning 15 days, 

field school participants 

meet with 

a diverse group 

of guest speakers 

including government 

officials, 

Indigenous knowledge 

holders, scientists, 

artists, and 

adventurers. They 

earn Lakewater 

Level 1 and Canoe 

Tripping Paddler 

certifications, and 

gain important outdoor 

skills like reading 

maps, packing, 

cooking, setting up 

camp and leave no trace practices. But most importantly, students 

gain an appreciation for this watershed and the intricate 

role we all play in its protection. 

“Throughout the trip, I built a strong connection to the 

Columbia River. Paddling several different sections (free flowing 

and dammed) really helped me to form a well-rounded 

understanding of why the Columbia is such an important 

river,” says past participant Ali Giesbrecht. “I had the privilege 

to witness its beauty in many forms, such as the wildlife 

and aquatic life, its geography, human connections with the 

watershed, and special locations like the headwaters and its 

confluence with the Kootenay River.” 

Raising a generation of leaders who understand and appreciate 

the Columbia River, including the Columbia River Treaty 

and the effect this river has on communities across the watershed 

are exactly what program leaders seek to achieve 

“Lasting improvement to our relationship with the environment 

requires more than a surface-level appreciation. For 

long-term change, we need to cultivate champions who have 

a deep knowledge and passion, and can use it to inspire wider 

interest in issues that affect our communities,” says Graeme 

Lee Rowlands, program coordinator. “The CRFS makes these 

topics come alive in the landscape of the basin and in the lives 

of participants in a way that no other program does.” 

Past participants, hailing from 16 communities across the 

basin, have gone on to speak at conferences, publish original 

writing, participate in youth summits, and become local leaders 

in their own communities. Many alumni are now pursuing 

careers in environmental science/studies, outdoor education 

and other conservation-related fields. 

This year’s CRFS runs June 30-July 14. Applications are due 

by May 15th, but will be reviewed on a rolling basis so apply 

soon! For more information and to apply, visit wildsight.ca/

We’re looking for a new board member for the Central Kootenay 

Invasive Species Society (CKISS) board—someone who 

is interested in protecting the environment, working as a team 

member, and can make a two-year commitment. As a member 

of our board, you will attend quarterly board meetings, stand 

on a committee and join other board members in guiding the 

work of CKISS. 

For more information and to download an application, visit 

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

and indicate your interest in the board. If you are already a 

member email or send in your application to info@ckiss.ca. 

The deadline to apply is Friday May 6, 2022, at 5 pm. 

Would your acreage benefit from soil amendment? 

Mercer Celgar is looking for landowners with 2 or more acres within 55 km 

that would benefit from using their Celgrow soil amendment. Pastures and 

hay fields are good options. 

Mercer Celgar will cover the costs of a Qualified Professional performing 

soil sampling, obtaining government authorization and delivery costs of Celgrow 

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

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

major components of Celgrow are individual wood fibres lost from the pulping 

process and surplus bacteria from the wastewater biological treatment 

facility. Wood fibres enhance soil moisture retention and bacteria are a good 

source of soil nutrients. The landowner is responsible for spreading and incorporating 

Celgrow into their soil. 

If interested, please contact Len Hewat

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!

Besides being a fun word to 

say, this permaculture technique 

may be just what you 

need to apply in your garden. 

Chances are you live on a lot 

that was once marginal forest 

land, or the topsoil was scraped 

away in an attempt to create a 

‘Kootenay level’ lot. Whatever 

the reason, if you have poor 

soil, and not enough of that, 

hugelkultur might be your 

solution. Permaculture advocates 

claim that the technique

improves soil fertility, water 

retention, and the soil will warm 

earlier in spring and retain its 

warmth later in the fall. 

Hugelkutur is also known 

as mound culture or hill culture. 

Simply put, one creates 

a mound of materials that will 

slowly decompose. Your crop is 

planted on top of the mounds. 

In its basic form, mounds are 

constructed by piling branches, 

plant waste, compost and

additional soil directly on the 

ground. If you’re hugel-ling a 

lawn area, cut the sod away, 

and place sod blocks upside 

down over the wood. 

If your yard is sloped, the beds 

need to follow the contours. 

You can also have some fun and 

design mazes or wheels – go all 

free-form! 

The first year of break down 

means the wood (and fungi) 

steal a lot of the nitrogen out of 

the surrounding environment, 

so plant crops that add nitrogen

Run like a mother for a good cause 

Did you hear? Are you ready for it? The first annual Run 

Like A Mother Half Marathon, 10 km and 5 km road race 

is coming to Nelson on May 5. And the event will support a 

good cause – the Kootenay Kids Society. 

The Half Marathon is a beautiful course that takes you to 

all the gems of Nelson. You will experience Baker St, B.O.B 

(our big orange bridge), Horlick Point, and the historic Great 

Northern Rail Trail. This race starts and finishes at Hall St 

Plaza. Nelson is known for its hills so be prepared to climb 

1700 feet throughout the 21 km. 

This 10 km race has some epic waterfront views along 

Bealby rd where you turn around at Horlick Point and head 

back downtown along the Fairview neighbourhood bikeway. 

The 5K is a fun out-and-back run along Nelson’s new Fairview 

to downtown neighbourhood bikeway.

Tick talk 

Spring is here and the warmer weather means more people will 

be out hiking in tall grass or wooded areas which can also mean 

an increased chance of getting tick bites. Ticks are small bugs 

that bite and feed on the blood of humans and animals and can 

sometimes transmit disease. Fortunately, there are precautions 

people can take to prevent illnesses that may be transmitted from 

tick bites. 

“There are easy things you can do to protect yourself from ticks 

such as covering up before you head outdoors and checking for 

ticks when returning from a walk, hike or bike ride,” said Dr. 

Fatemeh Sabet, Interior Health medical health officer. “Most tick 

bites do not result in illness; however, any bite from a tick should 

be cleaned because infection can occur whenever there is a break 

in the skin.” 

Ticks also have toxins that can cause temporary muscle weakness 

and paralysis if they are attached for several days – especially 

in children or seniors – but the symptoms fade once the tick is 

removed from the skin. The signs of many tick-borne infections 

can be quite similar and include fever, headache, muscle pain and 

rash. 

One of the most important ways to reduce the risk of tick illnesses 

is to do a skin check on yourself and your children after 

being outdoors. As well, follow these additional precautions: 

• Walk on cleared trails when in tall grass or wooded areas. 

• Wear a hat, long sleeves, pants and light-coloured clothing. 

• Tuck pant legs into socks or boots. 

• Apply insect repellent containing DEET on uncovered 

skin. 

• Carefully check clothing and scalp (covered or not) when 

leaving an area where ticks may live. 

• Regularly check household pets for ticks. 

If you find a tick on yourself, a family member or pet, wear 

gloves when removing it and be careful not to crush the tick as 

this could cause it to inject its stomach contents into your skin. 

Other tips to remove ticks safely include: 

• Use needle-nose tweezers to gently grasp the tick close to 

the skin. 

• Without squeezing, pull the tick straight out. 

• After removal, clean the area with soap and water. 

• If you find a tick, check very carefully for others. 

You can report a tick and submit a photo to eTick.ca to have 

it identified. 

Most individuals with acute Lyme disease do not notice the 

biting tick that precedes the illness. If you have concerns or need 

assistance removing a tick, please contact your family doctor or 

visit a walk-in medical clinic. 

Quick facts: 

While ticks are common in the Interior Health region, most 

are the wood tick (Dermacentor andersoni) which do not carry 

the Lyme disease bacteria. The wood tick can carry other diseases 

such as Rocky Mountain spotted fever, although it is rare. 

Lyme disease-carrying ticks (I. pacificus) are more common 

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

target skin rash of Lyme disease, or other symptoms compatible 

with Lyme disease, should see their physician.

Brandy is beautiful brindle 2-year-old girl that came in as a stray 

from our area. We do not have any history on her as an owner 

never came forward. She is very playful and full of energy. 

She is good with dogs and kids, although she might be too 

rambunctious for smaller children. She is a strong girl so we do 

recommend some leash training, but she does well once you get 

going. She loves spending time with people and would make a 

lovely companion.

IDIDaRide Deets! 

Trails for two of the three races are confirmed for July 3 

iDIDaRide in Kaslo. 

17 km: the mid range course, for both riders and runners. 

Kaslo arena is the staging point this year and participants will 

head west down Arena Ave and climb up into the True Blue 

Trail system via the Hemlock network to the gravel pit. From 

there you will follow Bjerkness Road and jump back onto 

the trail system at Sourdough, through to Destiny Ridge, 

the Connector and climb up to Strawberry Ridge. You will 

descend from there and connect with Straight Face, on to 

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

Loop and back to the Arena via Arena Ave. 

This will be somewhat challenging – and full on fun! There 

will be an aid station with food and drinks at the bottom of 

Strawberry Ridge 

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

the Kaslo Arena and head west on Arena Ave climbing the 

Hemlock network to the gravel pit. Riders will then cross the 

gravel pit to climb the short dirt road to ’N’ Zone, continuing 

up Spanish Moss to Sleepy Hollow, onto the Connector, 

Strawberry Ridge, Straight Face, then bounce out onto Bjerkness 

Road. There is more excitement to be experienced after 

this point, which will remain a secret until it is ready to be 

revealed! It will include some black diamond rated sections – 

not overwhelming but a bit gitchy. There will be at least one 

aid station with food and drinks on this course. 

5-8 km: Head scratchin’ for the short course is still under 

way. The plan is to have a user friendly (ride & run) 5 – 8 

km route with limited climbing. Stay tuned for more info or 

monitor the website if this is the event you are interested in. 

www.iDIDaRide-kaslo.ca 

Folks should know that iDIDaRide is a race but in fact 

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

or run on Kaslo’s amazing trail system. Everyone is welcome 

no matter what your goal is! 

Registration is open, just visit www.iDIDaRide-kaslo.ca 

Details will continue to be updated.
