Alzheimer’s Awareness Month<br />

<strong>Jan</strong>a Schulz is a caregiver to her father Roy, who lives with<br />

dementia. Along with many others across the province, she’s<br />

participating in the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s Alzheimer’s<br />

Awareness Month in <strong>Jan</strong>uary. The campaign aims to flip the<br />

script on stigma associated with Alzheimer’s disease and<br />

dementia.<br />

The campaign shares tips and tools to support living with<br />

dementia, while highlighting amazing individuals on the<br />

dementia journey who continue to find moments of joy, peace<br />

and happiness.<br />

Schulz is a registered social worker working as a regional<br />

dementia education coordinator in the <strong>Kootenay</strong>s. She’s also<br />

an elected official within the Metis Nation of B.C.<br />

During her journey, she has shared the caregiving role with<br />

her mother and leaned more into her culture. She takes comfort<br />

knowing that Roy’s journey is bringing him closer to their<br />

ancestors and she’s brought an Indigenous perspective to the<br />

disease to help create a better environment for Roy and others.<br />

Through it all she’s found unexpected gratitude and joy.<br />

“It’s important not to lose yourself on the caregiving journey,”<br />

she says. “Despite all the challenges we’ve faced with the<br />

disease, there are so many moments that help shield me from<br />

immense amounts of grief. I don’t take those moments for<br />

granted.”<br />

During Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, the Alzheimer Society<br />

of B.C. encourages residents to visit alzbc.org/FullOfLife to<br />

find resources, tips, tools and support.<br />

First female Captain within the KBRFR<br />

“I love firefighting,” says Carlene Pires who has become<br />

the first-ever female Captain within the <strong>Kootenay</strong> Boundary<br />

Regional Fire Rescue Service (KBRFR). “I just so happen to be<br />

a woman too,” she adds.<br />

Carlene is proud of her paid-on-call (POC) job as well as<br />

the determination and accomplishments that have engineered<br />

her rise to the top. She hopes that any publicity generated<br />

will encourage more aspiring firefighters, regardless of age or<br />

gender, to join the service during the KBRFR’s annual spring<br />

recruitment drive.<br />

Her promotion to the rank of Captain, an historic milestone<br />

for the KBRFR, was based solely on merit. The accolade<br />

was also awarded to fellow crew member David Flanagan.<br />

Together, the pair will ensure a seamless succession at Station<br />

372 Warfield is secured and a strong chain of command is<br />

already entrenched when Captain Ron Gattafoni retires in a<br />

couple of years.<br />

“Carlene embraces the work ethic, values, passion and critical<br />

thinking that the role demands and her appointment will<br />

sustain our fire service’s continuity long term. Her remarkable<br />

leadership qualities, curiosity for continual growth and commitment<br />

to training, all gained whilst balancing a full-time job<br />

has been impressive,” says Deputy Chief Gallamore. “Having<br />

each developed a unique skill set, all our captains are up to<br />

the task, provide a source of inspiration for new recruits and<br />

have the ability to strengthen an already tight-knit crew and<br />

community,” he adds.<br />

Firefighting is in Carlene’s DNA. Her grandfather was a<br />

career firefighter with Nanaimo Fire Rescue and she spent<br />

much of her youth, and his retirement, with his firehall family<br />

- attending events, visiting former crew members as well as the<br />

Saturday night dinners, card games and camaraderie which<br />

she remembers the most.<br />

Carlene’s journey into firefighting began as a new recruit in<br />

the fall of 2015 as a POC Firefighter and was underlined by<br />

“wanting to be part of something bigger than myself, to serve<br />

others and help people in my community in their greatest time<br />

of need”. In 2019 she was promoted to a POC Lieutenant and<br />

her sheer hard work, dedication, perseverance and love of the<br />

job has been the cornerstone to her success.<br />

During the last seven years as a POC Firefighter, she has<br />

gained Provincial wildfire deployment experience and a rack<br />

of certifications including Full-Service Firefighter Operations<br />

(NFPA 1001) and Fire Officer 1. The demands of the role have<br />

also been balanced with careers in the Financial industry<br />

and within the Emergency Management Department of the<br />

Regional District of <strong>Kootenay</strong> Boundary where she has been<br />

its Emergency Program Coordinator since March 2021.<br />

“I love my job and am thankful for all the strong, trailblazing<br />

women who have come before me as well as the fantastic<br />

peer support and mentorship I continue to benefit from. If my<br />

appointment encourages more girls and ladies to consider the<br />

fire service as a Career, Paid-On-Call or Volunteer firefighter<br />

that would be amazing. It’s such a rewarding move to make,”<br />

<strong>Kootenay</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> Levels<br />

<strong>Jan</strong>uary 4, 2023<br />

For the benefit of <strong>Kootenay</strong> <strong>Lake</strong> area residents,<br />

the following lake levels are provided by FortisBC<br />

as a public service.<br />

Queen’s Bay: Present level: 1743.81 ft<br />

7 day forecast: Down 8-10 inches<br />

2022 peak 1751.61 ft. / 2021 peak 1747.33 ft.<br />

Nelson:<br />

Present level: 1743.58 ft<br />

7 day forecast: Down 5-7 inches<br />

says Carlene who is a member of Fire Service Women BC<br />

(fswbc.ca) and sits on the planning committee for Camp Ignite<br />

<strong>–</strong> <strong>Kootenay</strong> Division, a youth firefighting mentorship program<br />

for grade 11 & 12 girls living in Southeast BC. The four day<br />

overnight summer camp (campignite.com), will be coming<br />

to our region for the first time in July 2023 to empower local<br />

young women to follow their dreams and introduce them to<br />

the exciting world of firefighting.<br />

Even though the KBRFR is a progressive and inclusive<br />

organisation committed to gender diversity, the lack of<br />

women amongst the ranks is representative of firefighting at<br />

large. Less than 5% of Canada’s firefighters are women. Many<br />

think they lack the strength, height or fitness credentials to<br />

make it but that’s simply not the reality. Recruits are trained to<br />

use technique, equipment and teamwork to overcome any lack<br />

of physical stature and size.<br />

“Positive change within the fire service is a constant. We<br />

all work so hard to leave the profession a better place than<br />

when we first started. We’re breaking down barriers, talking<br />

about trauma, removing stigmas, focusing on fire prevention<br />

and receiving robust mental health support and training. It’s<br />

a great time to join such a unique, challenging and fulfilling<br />

career!” adds Carlene.<br />

Hospice Navigator Program<br />

Following the closure of the<br />

Kalein Centre (Nelson), The<br />

Greater Trail Hospice Society<br />

(GTHS) is taking its Navigator<br />

program into the West<br />

<strong>Kootenay</strong> region, delivering<br />

more under its umbrella of<br />

services and expanding its<br />

reach to serve Nelson, Salmo,<br />

Nakusp and the Slocan Valley.<br />

The Navigator Program,<br />

which has been an active Kalein<br />

program since 2019, matches<br />

specially trained Hospice Volunteers<br />

with clients who are<br />

living with a life limiting diagnosis.<br />

Each volunteer helps the<br />

client “navigate” the medical<br />

system, finds resources to keep<br />

them connected to their community<br />

and walks beside them through their illness.<br />

“We’re pleased to step up in response to the increased need<br />

for help, support<br />

the West <strong>Kootenay</strong><br />

Nav-Care program<br />

and ensure that the<br />

services they’ve been<br />

providing through<br />

this important community<br />

program will<br />

be able to continue<br />

uninterrupted,” says<br />

Brenda Hooper,<br />

Chair of The Greater<br />

Trail Hospice Society,<br />

who developed<br />

the Navigator program<br />

with UBC<br />

Okanagan researcher<br />

Dr Barb Pesut.<br />

Under Hooper’s<br />

lead, the Trail area<br />

was the first to be<br />

part of the development<br />

of this<br />

initiative in 2012,<br />

bringing a different<br />

type of help to those<br />

Kokanee Glacier hut keeper reflects<br />

Many of us have a connection<br />

to Kokanee Glacier<br />

Provincial Park, whether it’s<br />

from spending time within<br />

its bounds or admiring the<br />

view of the glacier from<br />

town. Petra Hekkenberg<br />

has her own unique view of<br />

the park as the hut keeper.<br />

She’ll share her reflections<br />

and experiences in a visual<br />

presentation at the Nelson<br />

Library on <strong>Jan</strong>uary 18 at 7<br />

pm.<br />

Hekkenberg grew up in<br />

the Netherlands and settled<br />

in BC because she wanted<br />

to live in a cabin in the<br />

woods. “The mountains, the<br />

water, the community, the<br />

kindness and open-mindedness<br />

of its people stole my<br />

heart and made me decide to settle in the Slocan Valley,” Hekkenberg<br />

says. In 2021 she was hired as hut keeper and park operator<br />

in Kokanee Glacier Park. She kept a journal of sketches and words<br />

about her time in the park. That journal became her book, In the<br />

Alpine: An Illustrated Journal of Kokanee Park.<br />

At the <strong>Jan</strong>uary 18 event, Hekkenberg will share excerpts from<br />

her book along with a slide show, From Dutch Flatlander to Alpine<br />

Local and the award-winning short film In Your Mind’s Eye:<br />

Moods of Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park. The film was made<br />

as a tribute to Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park’s 100th anniversary<br />

and contains landscape video and excerpts from the park’s<br />

logbooks dating back to the 1970s. Hekkenberg says, “I hope this<br />

presentation will bring people together to celebrate and share their<br />

love for the alpine, featuring Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park.”<br />

In the Alpine: An Illustrated Journal of Kokanee Park will be<br />

available for sale; 15% of sales will be donated to Friends of West<br />

<strong>Kootenay</strong> Parks.<br />

Nelson Public Library<br />

Closing the book on overdue fines<br />

The Nelson Library is eliminating overdue fines effective <strong>Jan</strong>uary<br />

1, 2023. Library staff and board are excited to join the growing<br />

numbers of libraries in Canada that are removing fines to provide<br />

barrier-free access to library services and materials.<br />

“Late fines can discourage people from using the library and can<br />

be a significant barrier to many,” says Chief Librarian Tracey Therrien.<br />

“We hope that anyone who isn’t using the library because of<br />

their fines will feel welcome to return to the library.”<br />

Libraries originally charged fines as a motivator to return items<br />

on time, but libraries that have been fine free for some time have<br />

seen an increase in circulation, returned items, and memberships.<br />

Under this new policy, borrowers are still encouraged to return<br />

their materials on time. Materials will continue to have their regular<br />

loan period and can be renewed up to 2 times. If an item is more<br />

than 42 days overdue, it will be marked lost and a replacement fee<br />

will be charged. Fees will also still be charged for damaged items.<br />

Technology is a Tool, Not a Focus<br />

You’re driving in an unfamiliar area and don’t fully trust that<br />

you’ll be able to find your destination. But you’ve come prepared!<br />

You open your navigation app or your vehicle’s infotainment system,<br />

type in the address, and are fastidiously following the directions.<br />

You’re so focused on not missing a turn, in fact, that your focus on<br />

the road slips for just a moment… and when you look back up, you<br />

find yourself closing the distance between yourself and the vehicle<br />

ahead far too quickly.<br />

Navigation tools are useful additions to a driver’s arsenal. However,<br />

it is worth remembering that these are indeed tools and not the<br />

main focus. National Safe Driving Week is December 1 <strong>–</strong> 7 and the<br />

Canada Safety Council, in partnership with the Insurance Brokers<br />

Association of Canada, want to remind you that focus on the road<br />

while behind the wheel is a must.<br />

“It might be said that automation tools such as navigation apps<br />

in a vehicle help reduce driver anxiety and therefore can help a person<br />

focus on safe driving,” said Gareth Jones, President and CEO<br />

of the Canada Safety Council. “And while that is true, these tools<br />

can also contribute to distraction behind the wheel when not used<br />

as intended. When used as a crutch, rather than assistance, these<br />

technologies can quickly become problematic.”<br />

Any task that takes focus off the road increases the likelihood of<br />

a collision. Property damage and increased insurance premiums,<br />

to say nothing of injury and fatality, are simply not worth the risk.<br />

Read on for tips on how to safely navigate away from distraction<br />

behind the wheel:<br />

• Program your navigation before departure. At 90 km/h, taking<br />

your eyes off the road for five seconds is the equivalent<br />

of traveling the full length of a standard football field. Program<br />

your destination ahead of time so it does not become<br />

an issue while on the road.<br />

• Get a passenger to help guide you. The auditory cues on<br />

navigation apps can be distracting. Additionally, some apps<br />

actively draw your attention to them, prompting the driver<br />

to confirm presence of law enforcement or a collision. To<br />

eliminate these distractions, ask a passenger to direct you<br />

and leave the navigation tool muted. If you do not have a<br />

passenger on board, be cognizant of where your attention is<br />

being directed and ensure that there are no competing interests<br />

to your focus on driving.<br />

• Leave the phone alone. The best solution, of course, is to<br />

leave your phone alone entirely while behind the wheel.<br />

Familiarize yourself with your destination ahead of time,<br />

using a tool like Google Street View. Knowing the area and<br />

directions will enable you to keep your focus entirely on the<br />

road, and to keep alert so you won’t miss your destination.<br />

You can read more about distracted driving in our archived<br />

National Safe Driving Week campaigns, go to www.canadasafetycouncil.org<br />

One quick turn...<br />

and it’s all over for this dog!<br />

Dogs are easily jolted out of open pick-ups and often<br />

suffer crippling injuries or death.<br />

Use a protective kennel<br />

secured to the truck bed, or<br />

better yet, let your best friend<br />

ride safely in the cab.<br />

Lower Columbia Community Health<br />

- Resident Input Requested -<br />

A committed group of doctors, nurse practitioners, and<br />

community members are working together to bring a Community<br />

Health Centre (CHC) to the Lower Columbia region.<br />

The Lower Columbia CHC Network Working Group is proposing<br />

a CHC that includes 3-4 clinics to serve Rossland,<br />

Warfield, Trail, Montrose, Fruitvale, and RDKB Areas A and<br />

B. The proposed CHC will be a community-governed, notfor-profit<br />

organization providing patients with access to a<br />

team of healthcare providers working together to care for<br />

patients of all ages and abilities. Working with Indigenous<br />

organizations, settlement services and other groups to provide<br />

a culturally-safe space, the CHC will also integrate other<br />

health care and social services that focus on the needs of the<br />

community.<br />

Dr. Mike Scully, Family Practitioner in Rossland, said,<br />

“After researching the health care needs of our communities<br />

through a Needs Assessment, and with a letter of support<br />

from each of the five municipalities in the Lower Columbia as<br />

well as the Regional District, it’s clear that launching a Community<br />

Health Centre has the area’s full support. As a working<br />

group, we believe the introduction of a CHC will increase<br />

access and attachment to a primary care provider; helping<br />

residents get the care they need, with the right practitioner,<br />

when they need it.”<br />

To further develop the CHC model to meet specific<br />

community needs, the Working Group is seeking patient<br />

input on the initiative through a survey on their website at<br />

kootenayclinics.org/survey.<br />

Win Mott, a Trail resident and Chair of the Working Group<br />

said, “Recent estimates indicate that 30% of patients in the<br />

Lower Columbia region are without a primary care provider.<br />

This is unacceptable. The research shows that the team-based,<br />

Community Health Centre model works. Not only does it<br />

increase access to practitioners, we’re hearing directly from<br />

potential physician recruits that it is an attractive option.<br />

We’re strongly motivated to move this initiative ahead for all<br />

residents in the Lower Columbia and look forward to receiving<br />

their feedback.”<br />

Community Health Centres are not a new concept. They<br />

have existed in BC for over 50 years and continue to be<br />

adopted by communities across the province. In the Lower<br />

Columbia, the Working Group has consulted and collaborated<br />

over the past three years with the <strong>Kootenay</strong> Boundary<br />

Division of Family Practice, Interior Health, and local<br />

municipal leaders to develop a CHC proposal that proactively<br />

addresses the needs of the region.<br />

Warfield’s Mayor, Frank Marino shares, “A great deal of<br />

work has gone into the Lower Columbia CHC Network initiative<br />

over the past few years. Now that the project is closer<br />

to becoming a reality, it is time to gather input from residents<br />

about what is important to them in a future CHC.”<br />

Community Health Centre Network, including a copy of the<br />

Needs Assessment and our contact information, visit kootenayclinics.org.<br />
