Bats in Blinds!<br />

Bats are getting injured or even squished by roll up blinds<br />

and power awnings that provide shade to homes in the<br />

summer. The BC Community Bat Program is actively seeking<br />

assistance to assess how common this is and address it<br />

accordingly.<br />

Bats are important wildlife that provide natural insect pest<br />

control. “Most people install exterior roll up blinds and power<br />

awnings on the south or west side of their house to help create<br />

shade and cool their house. The last thing they want to<br />

do is harm bats as a result of their action,” says Elodie Kuhnert,<br />

Kootenay Community Bat Project regional coordinator.<br />

“However, over the last few years, we’ve been getting reports in<br />

southern BC of bats being attracted to the shutter housing or<br />

box into which the blinds or awnings roll into. Bats are accidentally<br />

and unintentionally getting squished or injured when<br />

the blinds are rolled up and then they fall out dead when the<br />

blinds get rolled down”.<br />

The BC Community Bat Program aims to collect additional<br />

reports to assess the prevalence of this issue. According to<br />

Kuhnert, if it is determined that such incidents are frequent,<br />

the program intends to engage with manufacturers. The goal<br />

is to explore potential design changes, ensuring that awnings<br />

and blinds no longer pose a threat to these important animals,<br />

turning them into unintentional hazards.<br />

Nine of the 15 species that live in British Columbia are listed<br />

as at risk of disappearing. “We only have insect eating bats in<br />

BC. They control nocturnal insect populations and help cycle<br />

nutrients from wetlands to forests, “says Kuhnert.<br />

Bats differ from mice in their behavior; they do not construct<br />

nests, nor do they chew or scratch to access buildings, as<br />

rodents often do. According to Kuhnert, some bats are drawn<br />

to small, secure spaces in human-made structures, making<br />

awning or shade boxes appealing to them. To address this, a<br />

potential solution involves modifying the awning box design<br />

by incorporating features like broom bristles or a cap to seal<br />

the entry gap, effectively preventing bats from entering.<br />

Bats are in trouble as they face many threats including<br />

white-nose syndrome (WNS), a disease that has killed millions<br />

of bats since 2016. WNS does not affect people or pets.<br />

If you have seen bats roosting in your summer roll up<br />

blinds, shades, or awnings in the past years, please contact the<br />

BC Community Bat Program at https://bcbats.ca/got-bats/<br />

dontsquishbats/, email info@bcbats.ca or call 1-855-922-2287.<br />

SUDOKU<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 />

Magazine Drive Month<br />

Flipping through a magazine remains a favourite pastime for<br />

folks who frequent the <strong>Nelson</strong> Public Library, evidenced by the<br />

popularity of the Library’s collection of 80 different magazine<br />

titles, from Adbusters to Zoomer.<br />

March is Magazine Subscription Drive month, a chance for<br />

individuals, organization, and businesses to get behind the initiative—and,<br />

potentially, get their name on the cover of The Rolling<br />

Stone!<br />

“We’ve worked hard to offer a wide range of topics,” says coordinator<br />

Heather Dahlgrin. “If you have an interest in fashion,<br />

finance, history, gardening, news—the list goes on—there will be<br />

a magazine looking for a sponsor.”<br />

The library has 80 different magazine titles. Sponsors choose<br />

from the library’s list of magazines, pay for an annual subscription<br />

and, in return, get their name or the name of a business or<br />

organization on the front cover—and a tax receipt.<br />

“It’s interesting that, in this digital age, physical magazines are<br />

just so popular. Sponsoring a magazine is a great way to show<br />

your friends and neighbours that you support the library,” says<br />

Dahlgrin. “Folks who prefer their magazine in digital form—and<br />

there are many!—are welcome to support our digital magazine<br />

collection through a donation as well.”<br />

Folks interested in becoming a magazine sponsor are encouraged<br />

to drop in to the Library, call 250-352-6333, or email<br />

library@nelson.ca. Although the drive happens every March,<br />

sponsors are welcome to come on board at any time of the year.<br />

<strong>Nelson</strong> Adventure Speaker Series<br />

The <strong>Nelson</strong> Adventure Speaker Series is pleased to announce<br />

that mountain historian and award-winning author Bernadette<br />

McDonald will be visiting <strong>Nelson</strong> to promote her new book,<br />

Alpine Rising: Sherpas, Baltis, and the Triumph of Local Climbers<br />

in the Greater Ranges.<br />

Bernadette will speak on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, at 7pm at the<br />

Prestige Lakeside Resort, located at 701 Lakeside Drive. Doors<br />

will open at 6:15pm. Alpine Rising is the first comprehensive<br />

history of the contributions of Sherpas and other local climbers<br />

to high-altitude mountaineering, on Everest and beyond. The<br />

ground-breaking book launches March 1 in North America, with<br />

translated editions publishing simultaneously in France, Germany,<br />

Italy, Poland, South Korea, Spain, and Slovenia.<br />

During her <strong>Nelson</strong> appearance, Bernadette will present photos<br />

and share anecdotes from Alpine Rising, which took three<br />

years to complete. As the founding Vice President of Mountain<br />

Culture at the Banff Centre (including serving as the director of<br />

the Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival for 20 years), Bernadette<br />

had unprecedented access to historical records to write this<br />

book, as well as to the world’s most accomplished alpinists and<br />

their descendants.<br />

Alpine Rising is already being heralded as an essential read<br />

for mountain culture enthusiasts; one that will forever change<br />

the way we see the history and legacy of mountaineering in the<br />

Greater Ranges.<br />

Notably, A Book Lover’s Emporium, will be onsite selling books<br />

at the event. Bernadette will sign books immediately following<br />

her presentation. For more information, media assets, or to<br />

arrange an interview with Bernadette McDonald, contact NASS<br />

Between Futility and Future<br />

Oxygen Art Centre is delighted to offer the workshop series<br />

entitled “Between Futility and Future” with visiting B.C.-based<br />

artists Alexis Hogan and Chris Dufour. The series entangles ecologically-centered<br />

practices of ink making, dyeing, and plantbased<br />

film developing alongside the use of the body.<br />

Comprised of four workshops in total over spring break,<br />

workshops take place in the evenings from March 26, 2024, to<br />

March 28, 2024, from 6:30 <strong>–</strong> 8:30 PM, and in the afternoon on<br />

Friday, March 29, 2024 from 3:00 <strong>–</strong> 5:00 PM. The series builds off<br />

the duo’s social practice, which includes working with invasive<br />

species, making charcoal, community-led sciences, permaculture<br />

and studying the places where queerness and ecology meet.<br />

This series of workshops invites participants into studio-based<br />

explorations where<br />

the artists are<br />

encouraging the<br />

tangling of different<br />

elements<br />

of their creative<br />

and physical disciplines.<br />

The goal of<br />

this commingling<br />

is to create a new<br />

vernacular with<br />

which to carry the<br />

ongoing dialogue<br />

on grief, futility,<br />

anxiety, movement,<br />

and rupture that<br />

lives in the roots of<br />

their collaborative<br />

practice.<br />

Interested participants<br />

are encouraged<br />

to attend all<br />

four workshops,<br />

but attendance<br />

at all sessions is<br />

not required. The<br />

<strong>Salmo</strong> Ski Hill - Winter Fun<br />

With winter’s crisp embrace, <strong>Salmo</strong><br />

Ski Hill in the West Kootenay unveils<br />

a snowy playground for all skill levels.<br />

Beyond a top-tier spot for night skiing,<br />

this cherished family hill has been at<br />

the heart of the community for over six<br />

decades.<br />

“Nothing beats a fresh snowfall and<br />

that night air — it’s phenomenal,” says<br />

Margaret MacDonald, <strong>Salmo</strong> Ski Club<br />

Board Treasurer and a nearly 20-year<br />

volunteer with the non-profit society that operates the hill.<br />

From 1,000 vertical feet, the top of Main Run offers skiers and<br />

snowboarders a spectacular view of <strong>Salmo</strong>’s lights at night before<br />

they descend the fully lit run, groomed but with mixed terrain. That<br />

bird’s-eye perspective captures the essence of <strong>Salmo</strong> Ski Hill, a community-operated<br />

mountain committed to making skiing and snowboarding<br />

affordable and accessible for all.<br />

Fresh off the heels of a retrofit project completed in January 2023,<br />

<strong>Salmo</strong> Ski Hill is revving up for the season with upgraded facilities,<br />

showcasing a triumph of community dedication. With support from<br />

Columbia Basin Trust, the renovation prioritized the lodge and<br />

patrol building, breathing new life into original structures from the<br />

<strong>19</strong>60s and enhancing energy efficiency to cut operational costs.<br />

The value extends beyond an approximate 45 per cent savings on<br />

electrical bills during the winter season. The updated appearance<br />

and improved in-building comfort will also cement the lodge’s future<br />

use with increased rental frequency year-round. The overhaul, led<br />

by Herzig Construction, included a new roof, soffits, facia, siding,<br />

upgraded plumbing and electrical systems, wheelchair-accessible<br />

bathrooms and a covered deck for all-season enjoyment.<br />

“In recent years, we’ve realized how much people love being<br />

outdoors,” adds MacDonald. “The newly expanded deck provides<br />

more outdoor space and increased visibility and comfort for parents<br />

watching their children ski, as it’s slightly elevated from the elements.<br />

The space also alleviates congestion inside the lodge.”<br />

Established in <strong>19</strong>62, the ski hill is steered by the passionate volunteers<br />

of the <strong>Salmo</strong> Ski Club, with 25 volunteer ski patrollers and<br />

12 core volunteers, some of whom are third-generation enthusiasts.<br />

“It wouldn’t be the same without our volunteers; it’s what keeps us<br />

affordable,” insists MacDonald. “Our only paid staff are the liftees and<br />

ski/snowboard instructors. We make it a point to hire local youth,<br />

offering them their first job, providing employable training like first<br />

aid, and preparing them for the real world.”<br />

Boasting its own ski team and school, the hill has been a valuable<br />

asset to the region, attracting about 9,000 skier/snowboarder visits<br />

per season from across the West Kootenay, all while operating on<br />

volunteer power Monday-Thursday evenings and full days on Saturdays<br />

and Sundays. The hill not only attracts families for a fraction of<br />

the cost of larger resorts, but also the hardcores who head to <strong>Salmo</strong><br />

for some nighttime laps after a full day shredding at Red Mountain<br />

or Whitewater.<br />

“I think the ski hill brings economy into our community as well as<br />

sport and physical fitness opportunities,” says MacDonald. “Without<br />

the ski hill in <strong>Salmo</strong>, our kids wouldn’t have a place to learn. It’s one<br />

thing if you live closer to a bigger hill, but proximity aside, the affordability<br />

ensures kids throughout the region can enjoy winter sport.”<br />

As the <strong>Salmo</strong> Ski Hill opens its gates for the season, it does so with<br />

a renewed sense of pride. The project wasn’t just about renovating<br />

buildings; it also revitalized a legacy, ensuring that the spirit of community,<br />

inclusivity and recreation continues to thrive for generations.<br />

Plant Operator Program<br />

Entry into an exciting and rewarding career in the industrial sector<br />

is only a short program away at Selkirk College. Teck Trail Operations<br />

is one of the world’s largest fully integrated zinc/lead smelting<br />

and refining complexes. To make it function on a daily basis, the<br />

intricate operation requires a community of dedicated employees<br />

with a wide variety of trades, skills and education. A foundational<br />

position at Teck is process operator, a versatile job that can be<br />

launched through the 24-week Plant Operator Program.<br />

“Treating it as the start of something helps you be motivated to<br />

learn more and ultimately be better at your job,” says Ariel Poznikoff,<br />

a program alumna from the Class of 2016 who recently received her<br />

seven-year sticker at Teck. “If you put in effort, there are all kinds of<br />

opportunities for you here. It’s the same for the program, what you<br />

put in is what you get out.”<br />

When Poznikoff graduated high school from Castlegar’s Stanley<br />

Humphries Secondary, she did not have her sights set on a career in<br />

heavy industry. She started in Selkirk College’s School of University<br />

Arts & Sciences, but after working in a local garden supply store<br />

decided to pursue a horticulture degree from Kwantlen Polytechnic<br />

University. She emerged with a trusted green thumb, but found herself<br />

drawn to the process side of the sector.<br />

The Plant Operator Program prepares students for entry level<br />

work in a variety of industrial settings ranging from wastewater<br />

treatment to hydro dams and breweries to pulp mills. Gaining<br />

knowledge and developing skills required to operate, monitor<br />

and troubleshoot control equipment, process operators are vital<br />

positions.<br />

Poznikoff was drawn to the Selkirk College program because of its<br />

diverse curriculum and career opportunities. Once she graduated<br />

and was hired by Teck, she put her education to good use. Starting<br />

on the floor crew of the Sulfide Leeching Plant, she has filled a variety<br />

of roles. With a constant thirst for knowledge, Poznikoff has not<br />

stopped learning and is currently an operator instructor within the<br />

plant she started in.<br />

Key Partnership for Career-Ready Education<br />

The Plant Operator Program is offered out of <strong>Nelson</strong>’s Silver<br />

King Campus where it started in the early-<strong>19</strong>90s. Partnering and<br />

in constant consultation with employers such as Teck, the program<br />

is sculpted towards providing bedrock education that suits the<br />

region’s industrial sector.<br />

“In so many areas of our operations, Selkirk College graduates are<br />

key to our success,” says Scott Calvin, Teck’s superintendent of HR<br />

planning & talent management. “The Plant Operator Program is a<br />

great example of this synergy with well-educated graduates getting<br />

an opportunity to start careers. We put high value on our relationship<br />

with the instructors and the college.”<br />

Julie-Claire (JC) Hamilton is the instructor who has been guiding<br />

cohorts through the Plant Operator Program since 2018. A Red<br />

Seal electrician who earned her formal education on the Silver King<br />

Campus, she began teaching the electrical portion of the Women<br />

in Trades Program in 2008. With a wealth of real-world experience<br />

and diverse knowledge of a variety of trades, Hamilton helps learners<br />

realize what is possible.<br />

“It’s exciting when a new class begins and you get to mentor this<br />

diverse group of students who are eager to challenge themselves,”<br />

says Hamilton. “There are so many opportunities for our graduates<br />

and Teck is the ultimate destination for many of them. Having<br />

an industry partner of this scale in our backyard that supports<br />

post-secondary is so important to the overall success of our region.”<br />

The spring intake for the Plant Operator Program cohort begins<br />

on March 11 and applications are now being accepted. You can<br />

Firesmart Activities<br />

From educating residents on how to lower the risk of wildfire,<br />

to reducing the amount of vegetation that could fuel a fire, there<br />

are many ways a community can act to keep the threat of wildfire<br />

at bay. Now, 10 communities in the Columbia Basin are undertaking<br />

such projects with support of nearly $1.8 million provided<br />

through a partnership between the Province of British Columbia<br />

and Columbia Basin Trust. Tailored specifically to the Basin,<br />

this program is one aspect of the Province of BC’s Community<br />

Resiliency Investment Program. Partners include the Ministry of<br />

Roy Lake<br />

ROY LAKE<br />

With heavy hearts the family of Roy<br />

Lake must announce his passing in the<br />

early hours of January 30th, 2024.<br />

It is impossible to distill in a few paragraphs<br />

the life of someone who lived<br />

so long and so beautifully, who met<br />

his challenges with so much grace<br />

and loved his people and this place so<br />

deeply.<br />

Roy was born in Kaslo B.C. to Ethel (nee<br />

Rowe) and Stanley Lake and brought<br />

home to the family farm in Johnson’s<br />

Landing where he grew up along with<br />

his brother Alvin and his sisters. Doreen<br />

and Colleen. Many visitors came to the<br />

Lake home in Johnsons Landing and<br />

have passed on stories of the kindness,<br />

generosity, hard work, and resourcefulness<br />

of the Lake family.<br />

Roy attended school in Johnson’s Landing<br />

and was able to complete grade<br />

8 before duty called and he started<br />

working to help support his family.<br />

We were told that as a young man he<br />

seemed to have been born capable and<br />

found a solution for every problem as<br />

he worked on the family farm and in a<br />

few places around the Lardeau Valley.<br />

As a teenager he started work with the<br />

Highways Department building roads<br />

in the East and West Kootenays and in<br />

the Boundary region, always coming<br />

back to the Landing between assignments.<br />

In <strong>19</strong>58 Jane Wells, a pretty city girl<br />

from California, came to visit some of<br />

the Quaker families in Argenta. She<br />

caught his eye; his steady kindness,<br />

good humour and grounded, gentle<br />

nature convinced her that life would be<br />

better here and in <strong>19</strong>60 they were married<br />

in Argenta. To their delight, babies<br />

Margaret, Catherine, and Duncan soon<br />

followed; Roy had a special way with<br />

babies, they always calmed in his arms.<br />

When family was imminent Roy and<br />

Jane purchased land at the head of<br />

Kootenay Lake and began farming. The<br />

Lake Ranch became a busy intersection<br />

for people from both sides of the<br />

Lardeau Valley. Many people came by<br />

to ask for help solving a problem, to<br />

find work, to borrow a tool. Roy was the<br />

local expert on how to help with anything<br />

from a sick or struggling animal,<br />

putting a waterline, building a barn or<br />

making just about anything grow. He<br />

was generous with his time and his advice.<br />

People who knew him well took<br />

delight in his mischievous streak and<br />

twinkling sense of humour.<br />

When farming was no longer a viable<br />

option Roy pivoted to working his<br />

woodlot and logging for the remaining<br />

years of his working life. In retirement<br />

he was down to just one cow and enjoyed<br />

having extra time to indulge his<br />

love of gardening. Although there was<br />

always plenty of back and forth about<br />

how things should be done in the gardens<br />

Roy and Jane had a magic touch<br />

and could make anything grow. Together<br />

they grew beautiful flower and<br />

vegetable gardens in Meadow Creek<br />

and in Kaslo. Nothing made him happier<br />

than to share his produce or enjoy a<br />

meal with family that came entirely<br />

from his place.<br />

Roy cared deeply about community<br />

and wanted to see his neighbours<br />

thrive. He believed in cooperation and<br />

was inquisitive and open to a changing<br />

world. He was a lifelong member of the<br />

NDP and diligently watched the news<br />

to stay abreast of events.<br />

Forests, BC Wildfire Service and Columbia Basin Trust, which is<br />

administering the funding. “FireSmart activities are a key component<br />

to improving the resiliency of communities across BC,” said<br />

Bruce Ralston, Minister of Forests. “As we navigate the challenges<br />

posed by increasing wildfire risks, supporting funding for communities<br />

to engage in FireSmart activities is not just an investment;<br />

it’s a commitment to our collective safety and resilience.”<br />

The program supports a range of projects. For example, actions<br />

may include hiring a FireSmart coordinator, developing plans<br />

to treat wildfire fuels, carrying out innovative fuel management<br />

Roy was predeceased by his wife Jane<br />

and by his son Duncan, also by his<br />

brother Alvin and sister Doreen. He is<br />

survived by his sister Colleen Braconnier<br />

and his daughters Margaret Murphy<br />

(Kevin) and Catherine Lake and by<br />

his daughter-in-law Yvonne Boyd. He<br />

is also survived by his beloved grandchildren<br />

Connor, Erin and Kate Murphy,<br />

Anna, Jesse and Aidan Sparks, Andrea<br />

and Danan Lake and great grandchildren<br />

Claire, Mabel and Arturo Murphy-Massara<br />

and Meredith Warwick. He<br />

will be deeply missed by many others.<br />

Many thanks to Dr Shier and to the staff<br />

of Victorian Hospital of Kaslo for their<br />

genuinely loving care during the last<br />

years. It has meant so much to know he<br />

was in good hands.<br />

Roy and Jane both took particular delight<br />

in watching new growth emerge<br />

from the cold dark winter into the<br />

warmth of spring.<br />

Please join us when a celebration of<br />

both their lives will be held in Argenta<br />

activities or providing training on how to do FireSmart assessments.<br />

In the program’s first intake in winter 2023, 20 projects<br />

received $2.5 million. Here are a few examples:<br />

Spreading the FireSmart message in Elkford :To reduce wildfire<br />

risk in the community, the District of Elkford is hiring a<br />

FireSmart Coordinator, who will promote FireSmart principles to<br />

residents and contractors.<br />

“The new FireSmart Coordinator will educate the residents<br />

of Elkford on how to incorporate FireSmart principles into their<br />

properties,” said Enzo Calla, Director of Fire & Emergency Services.<br />

“They will also work with the District’s Planning and Development<br />

Services department on how to incorporate FireSmart<br />

principles into new developments.”<br />

To the benefit of the entire Lardeau Valley: The Lardeau Valley<br />

Opportunity LINKS Society is taking a number of actions to minimize<br />

the hazards of wildfire in the valley. With this funding, it’s<br />

hiring a part-time FireSmart Coordinator. In addition, it’s doing<br />

fuel management on 10 hectares of the forested land around Jewett<br />

Elementary School in Meadow Creek, creating a demonstration<br />

site that will increase wildfire resilience for the school and<br />

immediate area, as well as educate the extended community.<br />

“Through a multifaceted approach, our project aims to address<br />

the valley’s priorities and plans for wildfire resiliency,” said<br />

Chelsey Jones, Executive Director. “While ensuring the safety and<br />

well‐being of the surrounding neighborhoods, the fuel management<br />

location also offers an invaluable opportunity to educate<br />

the public on FireSmart practices and promote the importance<br />

of proactive wildfire prevention within the broader community.”<br />

Safer spaces near Rosebery: Near Rosebery on Slocan Lake,<br />

10 hectares of Crown land is benefiting from FireSmart fuel-reduction<br />

practices like removing secondary growth, brush and<br />

downfall. The project is being spearheaded by the Rosebery Community<br />

Association.<br />

“Building upon successful community FireSmart activities over<br />

the past several years, this prescription will reduce fuel sources<br />

for natural‐ and human‐caused fires and limit the spread of fires<br />

that do occur,” said Kay Schweitzer, Chair. “This will immediately<br />

reduce wildfire risk for some of the community’s most heavily<br />

used recreational and residential areas and create a defendable<br />

and accessible fire break through the middle of the community.”<br />

The Shuswap Band targets hazards: To reduce the danger<br />

introduced by influences like Douglas fir ingrowth and the<br />

encroachment of common juniper, the Shuswap Band is undertaking<br />

wildfire risk-reduction treatments on 31 hectares of Crown<br />

land near the Shuswap reserve and surrounding community.<br />

“The Shuswap Band, historically stewards of the land, has a significant<br />

recent history of land management in the local area with<br />

respect to forest fuel management and ecosystem restoration.<br />

This project follows several years of successful activities,” said<br />

Sierra Stump, Lands Manager. “With this treatment, forest fuel<br />

loading will be significantly decreased, reducing the intensity and<br />

rate of spread of wildfire and decreasing the threat to the adjacent<br />

surrounding community infrastructure.”<br />

The program builds on a previous partnership between the<br />

Trust and the Province, which aimed to help Basin communities<br />

build wildfire resiliency while recovering from the economic<br />

impacts of the pandemic. Through it, 29 projects in the Basin<br />

received $3.1 million and created 293 jobs.<br />
