The Coldest Night of the Year is a winterrific<br />

family-friendly walk to raise money for local<br />

charities serving people experiencing hurt, hunger,<br />

and homelessness. Team up, fundraise, walk, ...<br />

because it’s cold out there.<br />

<strong>Pennywise</strong> alternates between walking for <strong>Nelson</strong> CARES<br />

and Castlegar Community Services, both of whom help<br />

serve those in need in our more rural areas as well as in<br />

their larger communities. This year we walk for Castlegar.<br />

Since 2011, the Coldest Night of the Year has raised over $96,000,000<br />

across Canada in 166 communities <strong>–</strong> 100% of net proceeds stay local<br />

to support our CNOY charity partners.<br />

Thank you for your donations and encouragement.<br />

It is really cold out there.<br />

Celebrating Robbie Burns Day<br />

Robbie Burns Day, observed annually on <strong>January</strong> 25th, is a celebration<br />

of the life and works of Robert Burns, Scotland’s national poet.<br />

This day, also known as Burns Night, is marked with traditional Scottish<br />

festivities that honor the legacy of the beloved bard. From lively<br />

gatherings to poetic readings and the iconic Burns Supper, the day is<br />

a cultural extravaganza that brings people together to celebrate Scotland’s<br />

rich literary heritage.<br />

Born on <strong>January</strong> 25, 1759, in Alloway, Ayrshire, Robert Burns left<br />

behind a remarkable body of work that continues to resonate with<br />

readers worldwide. Some of his most celebrated works include “Auld<br />

Lang Syne,” a New Year’s Eve staple, and “To a Mouse,” a poignant<br />

reflection on the human condition. Burns’s ability to use the Scots dialect<br />

in his writing contributed to the authenticity and uniqueness of<br />

his voice.<br />

One of the central elements of Robbie Burns Day is the Burns Supper,<br />

a festive event held in honor of the poet. The supper typically<br />

includes traditional Scottish fare, such as haggis, neeps (turnips), and<br />

tatties (potatoes). The evening unfolds with the reading of Burns’s<br />

poetry, including the “Address to a Haggis,” a humorous and eloquent<br />

ode to the Scottish dish. The event often features bagpipe music, Scottish<br />

dance, and toasts to the memory of Robert Burns.<br />

Robbie Burns Day stands as a testament to the enduring legacy<br />

of Robert Burns and the impact of his poetry on Scottish culture.<br />

Whether through the lively gatherings of a Burns Supper or the global<br />

celebrations that bring people together, the day serves as a reminder<br />

of the power of language, literature, and shared traditions. As we celebrate<br />

this occasion, let us raise a glass to the immortal memory of<br />

Robbie Burns and the indelible mark he left on the world of poetry<br />

2023 Safety Improvement Award<br />

Staff at the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary (RDKB) are<br />

celebrating after bringing back a prestigious 2023 Safety Improvement<br />

Award from this year’s BC Municipal Safety Conference.<br />

The accolade recognises the RDKB’s transformational efforts in<br />

improving safety practices, experience ratings, and most importantly,<br />

reducing injuries, illnesses, diseases, and fatalities within its<br />

community.<br />

Colin MacAskill, RDKB’s Safety Advisor, who joined the organization<br />

in 20<strong>22</strong>, highlights the significance of the award, stating, “This<br />

was a team achievement and the recognition reinforces the RDKB’s<br />

continual improvement in health and safety.”<br />

Award eligibility was open to any local government within BC,<br />

encompassing cities, villages, townships, districts, municipalities,<br />

and regional districts. A reduction of 15 percentage points or more in<br />

safety incidents over the past four years was required, with the current<br />

experience rating no greater than +20%.<br />

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid,<br />

broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a<br />

sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each<br />

row, column and box. Each number can appear<br />

only once in each row, column and box. You<br />

can figure out the order in which the numbers<br />

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 />

Altered Books<br />

Oxygen Art Centre<br />

presents a series of community<br />

art events entitled<br />

Lost Cat! Taking place<br />

during the Spring 2024<br />

semester, the series offers<br />

free art-making sessions<br />

with local artists.<br />

The third workshop of<br />

the series takes place on<br />

Saturday, February 24,<br />

2024, from 1:00 to 3:00<br />

PM at Oxygen Art Centre.<br />

Writer and educator<br />

Rayya Liebich leads the workshop, which will guide participants<br />

in altered book and poetry practices.<br />

This all levels, all ages workshop is for anyone who likes to<br />

create and doesn’t want to be bound by rules! Using the container<br />

of a hardcover discarded book, participants will be<br />

introduced to a variety of artistic mediums (blackout poetry,<br />

book folding, collage, stenciling, stamping, and more) to<br />

transform their book into a unique creation.<br />

This hands-on and fun project reveals infinite possibilities<br />

of creative play, celebrates divergent thinking, and results in<br />

artworks as diverse as the people who made them. Inspiring<br />

examples and a wide array of materials will be provided.<br />

The public are invited to attend the third Lost Cat! event at<br />

Oxygen Art Centre on Saturday, February 24, 2024, from 1:00<br />

to 3:00 PM. All materials provided. No experience necessary.<br />

Interested participants are expected to take part in the full<br />

two-hour session. Contact Oxygen Art Centre with any questions<br />

about the sessions or access needs to the facility.<br />

Lost Cat! is generously supported by the Columbia Kootenay<br />

Cultural Alliance. Learn more about upcoming events via<br />

Oxygen’s website and social media.<br />

New Book Club<br />

If your New Year’s resolve is to grow in understanding of<br />

Indigenous culture and history, start your year right by joining<br />

the <strong>Nelson</strong> Library’s new book club. Indigenous Reads Book<br />

Club will include a monthly meeting along with a curated<br />

selection of books written by Indigenous authors that explore<br />

the truth of Indigenous history and the richness of Indigenous<br />

culture. New learners are welcome to come to one or to all five<br />

meetings.<br />

Each meeting’s conversation will revolve around a specific<br />

theme, such as MMIWG2S (Murdered, Missing Indigenous<br />

Women, Girls, Two Spirit); Residential Schools; Indigenous<br />

History; Indigiqueer; and Indigenous Humour. Copies of the<br />

book assigned to each conversation can be found at the front<br />

desk anytime we are open and read before each meeting.<br />

The new book club has evolved out of the library’s new strategic<br />

framework which includes a commitment to diversity,<br />

equity and inclusion, with a promise that “truth, reconciliation,<br />

Indigenization and decolonization inform our programs,<br />

services and policies.”<br />

Adult Services Coordinator Melodie Rae Storey says that the<br />

Indigenous Reads Book Club is one way to start a relationship<br />

with Indigenous peoples. “I believe in the power of Indigenous<br />

literature as a good first step to understanding. The artistry<br />

of the authors, the humor woven through the darkness, the<br />

power of their storytelling is an educational experience, but<br />

also just an immense pleasure for any book lover.”<br />

Indigenous Reads Book Club runs from <strong>January</strong> to May at<br />

the <strong>Nelson</strong> Library.<br />

Ferryboat,<br />

July 16<br />

I stand just above the<br />

waters that raised me<br />

(Waves lapping like gentle<br />

aunts, winds holding my<br />

eyeballs with care)<br />

I stand and feel the deep peace<br />

of this place<br />

I ride on this lake, no matter<br />

which direction I travel,<br />

I am going home.<br />

Home like two feet held in<br />

sweet warm mud<br />

Home like sun-hot arm-rests<br />

on a broken chair<br />

Home like the most beautiful<br />

broken smile,<br />

the kind that travels through<br />

your ears throat elbows toes<br />

Any way I travel, I am walking<br />

into an unlocked house<br />

I am drinking coffee on an<br />

untidy porch<br />

I am eating raspberries, bright red, still warm<br />

I am always covered in dog hair.<br />

Every day is another word in a love letter to<br />

this place.<br />

<strong>Nelson</strong>. Kaslo. Crawford Bay. Blewett.<br />

Gray Creek. Riondel.<br />

Argenta. Balfour.<br />

This lake is where my bones float,<br />

against all odd numbers<br />

Where my hunger is not affected by an<br />

empty bank account<br />

Where the light flows around the<br />

mountain-outlines,<br />

the ridges black,<br />

the tree-line<br />

bright blue<br />

and<br />

Where a girl who’s just another fuckin’ artist<br />

Who laughs too loud<br />

and can never stay clean<br />

feels like a round peg round whole<br />

feels like a leaf in a lazy eddy<br />

floating forward on<br />

the waters<br />

that raised me.<br />

Annora Margaret Clapp, 2017<br />

Annora Margaret<br />

Clapp<br />

May 17, 1995 - Nov <strong>22</strong>, 2023<br />

Annora left this world abruptly<br />

and accidentally in hospital,<br />

to the enduring heartbreak of<br />

partners and friends, family, and<br />

communities.<br />

Annora came into this world at<br />

home, mid-argument. From the<br />

start, Annora was an opponent<br />

of convention and rules. Any<br />

one of us was no match for her<br />

will, head on. We took turns.<br />

Annora’s spirit was big, strong,<br />

and joyful. She loved to play<br />

with reactions. Her art was far<br />

beyond her age and usually beyond<br />

the imagination of ‘official’<br />

adults. She would inevitably,<br />

ineluctably, press The Big Red<br />

Button in any circumstance.<br />

Annora was a generous friend.<br />

Being comforted by Annora was rich and deep and<br />

wholly healing. Raven-like, Annora collected things<br />

from the people in her life, and kept these ‘shiny<br />

objects’ <strong>–</strong> mugs, forks, sweaters <strong>–</strong> all around the nest.<br />

Strangers were friends not yet met, her whole<br />

life. Last October, Annora brought three mandarin<br />

oranges along <strong>–</strong> one for each of the two of them, and<br />

one for the new friend they might just meet.<br />

Annora wanted the world to be better than it was,<br />

and battled with courage, chocolate and good coffee<br />

against institutional violence, toxic capitalism, and<br />

oppression. These are difficult battles, and Annora felt<br />

the wounds of others deeply. There are many losses in<br />

the battles against inhumanity.<br />

The list of those that mourn is very long. Annora is<br />

survived by their partners Maddy and Ethan, mother<br />

Shauna, sister Elysha (Colin), brother Keenan, other<br />

mother Tara (John), nephews Tristan and Charlie,<br />

grandparents Ken and Patricia, great aunt Holly, and<br />

father Robert (Laverne), and her extended family.<br />

They are deeply mourned by friends Emily, Hunter,<br />

Andrea, Jemma, Innana, Scarlett, and many more<br />

across many communities.<br />

We are deeply grateful for the wisdom, grace<br />

and comfort that have come to us from our<br />

extended family, from this community and<br />

from Annora’s communities. We expect to have<br />

a celebration of life in the spring.<br />

Jeffrey Halifax Coulter<br />

“Hal the Painter”<br />

The family is very sad to report the sudden<br />

passing of our beloved brother Jeff due to natural<br />

causes on <strong>January</strong> 4, 2024 in his 77 th year.<br />

Thank you to the people of Kaslo, who<br />

generously offered their friendship and<br />

support over the last 30+ years, when Jeff<br />

relocated from Etobicoke, Ontario, where he<br />

grew up.<br />

He loved the peace and beauty of your town.<br />

In loving memory of<br />

Diana Lorraine Pilla<br />

(Wakeham)<br />

It is with our great honour to send<br />

off our beautiful Mom to meet her<br />

Heavenly Father. Diana Lorraine Pilla<br />

(Wakeham) passed away on Tuesday,<br />

<strong>January</strong> 2, 2024. She was 81<br />

years of age.<br />

Diana, youngest of two daughters,<br />

was born October 24, 1942, in Victoria<br />

BC to Bill and Dorothy Wakeham. On October 6, 1962, Diana<br />

married James Leo Pilla. They lived in beautiful BC but spent the<br />

majority of their married years in Castlegar, where they raised<br />

their 3 children, Darren, Grant and Wendy.<br />

Diana worked in the banking industry, most of her career was 19<br />

years at the Credit Union as a personal loans clerk in the latter<br />

years. She was a member of the CWL for almost 53 years, some<br />

of those years as president while she lived in Quesnel. She served<br />

wholeheartedly, impacting many lives with her faith, love and<br />

compassion. One of Mom’s greatest gifts was her gift of hospitality;<br />

anyone was welcome for a hot cup of something, a homemade<br />

meal and some goodies, surrounded by abounding kindness.<br />

Diana will be lovingly remembered by her 3 children, Darren Pilla<br />

(wife Nicole), Grant Pilla (wife Elaine), and Wendy Delcourt (husband<br />

Grant); her 7 grandchildren, Megan, James, Allyshia, Craig,<br />

Eric, Hannah and Madison; her 5 great-grandchildren, Rosie, Lucius,<br />

Tobias, Nathaniel and Abbey; her beautiful sister, Barbara<br />

Wade and endless extended family and friends.<br />

Some words of wisdom Diana shared:<br />

There is more to life than cleaning, play more!<br />

Life is always better with an extra hot cup of tea!<br />

Family is the truest blessing!<br />

Always be kind!<br />

“MOM we have learned that there is nothing more special in life<br />

than the love of a Mother and Father and the power of example.<br />

The power of love. The power of truth. The power of faith. The<br />

power of understanding and the power of discipline! We will love<br />

you forever Mom and we will be seeing you again one day!”<br />

Diana’s celebration of life will be held on Saturday, February 10th<br />

from 12:30 - 2:30pm at St. Rita’s Hall at 513, 7th Avenue Castlegar.<br />

In lieu of flowers please help feed our community as that was<br />

Diana’s greatest joy, and donate to our local food bank. The Community<br />

Make your own Ranch Dip or Dressing, Dry Onion Soup<br />

Mix and Taco Seasoning. Store in small mason jars - they keep<br />

for a long time and are so much HEALTHIER for you.<br />

Customize to your own tastes.<br />

TACO SEASONING:<br />

1/2 cup chili powder<br />

1/4 cup onion powder<br />

1/8 cup ground cumin<br />

1 tablespoon garlic powder<br />

1 tablespoon paprika<br />

1 tablespoon sea salt<br />

Put ingredients into a jar and shake.<br />

DRY ONION SOUP MIX:<br />

2/3 cup dried, minced onion<br />

3 teaspoons parsley flakes<br />

2 teaspoons onion powder<br />

2 teaspoons turmeric<br />

1 teaspoon celery salt<br />

1 teaspoon sea salt<br />

1 teaspoon sugar<br />

1/2 teaspoon ground pepper<br />

Mix all ingredients in a jar, then give the jar a good shake. I’d<br />

recommend shaking the jar to mix the ingredients well before<br />

each use. Use 4 tablespoons in a recipe in place of 1 packet of<br />

onion soup mix. Store this in a dry, cool place.<br />

RANCH:<br />

5 tablespoons dried minced onions<br />

7 teaspoons parsley flakes<br />

4 teaspoons salt<br />

1 teaspoon garlic powder<br />

Mix together and store in air tight container.<br />

For Dressing: Mix 2 tablespoons dry mix with 1 cup mayonnaise<br />

and 1 cup buttermilk or sour cream.<br />

For Dip: Mix 2 tablespoons dry mix with 2 cups sour cream<br />

or Greek Yogurt.<br />

Mix up a few hours before serving so the flavours all blend.<br />

Agricultural Land Commission Policy<br />

If you have questions on the latest changes to the Agricultural<br />

Land Commission Policy on residences in the Agricultural<br />

Land Reserve, here is a rundown.<br />

Effective December 31, 2021, the ALR Use Regulation, s.<br />

34.3 permits one additional residence if the following conditions<br />

are met:<br />

At the time construction of the additional residence begins<br />

there is only one residence on the parcel; and<br />

On a property 40 ha or less, once constructed there will be a<br />

principal residence with total floor area of 500 m 2 or less and<br />

one residence with a total floor area of 90 m 2 or less, if permitted<br />

by local government bylaw; OR<br />

On a property larger than 40 ha, where there is a lawfully<br />

constructed principal residence*, one 186 m 2 additional residence<br />

may be permitted, (if permitted by local government<br />

bylaw.<br />

*a lawfully constructed principal residence refers to a residence<br />

that pre-dates the legislative changes made on February<br />

<strong>22</strong>, 2019 under Bill 52 or a residence larger than 500 m 2<br />

as approved by the ALC and constructed with appropriate<br />

authorizations.<br />

CLIP & SAVE<br />

The regulations had previously contained provisions facilitating<br />

the construction of manufactured homes for immediate<br />

family members, accommodation above an existing farm<br />

building, or (in parts of the province) a second single family<br />

dwelling. These provisions are no longer found in the ALCA<br />

and the ALR Use Regulation, with the exception of some<br />

grandfathering protection for pre-existing structures of these<br />

kinds.<br />

See the “Grandfathering Provisions” section for more information.<br />

In addition, the Commission may approve an application<br />

for these kinds of additional residences if necessary for<br />

farm use.<br />
