Here’s How<br />
The BC Rural<br />
Health Hub is<br />
launched<br />
The BC Rural Health Hub<br />
was created to provide a source<br />
of timely, accurate health-related<br />
information of relevance<br />
to rural/remote/First Nations<br />
British Columbians and the<br />
healthcare professionals and<br />
organizations who provide<br />
their care.<br />
The goal is to provide<br />
smaller communities with an<br />
easy-to-use, safe civic engagement<br />
platform, in the process<br />
creating a network of locally-controlled<br />
rural healthcare<br />
Learning Communities.<br />
This pilot project is operating<br />
in just two regions in British<br />
Columbia: North Kootenay<br />
Lake and the Mt Waddington<br />
region.<br />

Nest Lab for Climate<br />
Solutions 2nd phase<br />
<strong>Nelson</strong>’s Nest Lab is continuing their<br />
leading-edge engagement work by<br />
launching the second phase of their<br />
social innovation lab for collaborative<br />
climate solutions, despite the ongoing<br />
roadblocks caused by COVID-<strong>19</strong>. Nest<br />
Lab will be focused on advancing solutions<br />
that benefit our community’s economy,<br />
environment and well-being.<br />
Nest Lab was launched in March 2020<br />
to support the development of collaborative<br />
and local climate solutions, and<br />
inform local policy, such as the recently<br />
passed community climate action plan,<br />
<strong>Nelson</strong> Next. Observations and feedback<br />
from Phase I of the Lab have also shown<br />
many co benefits to the Lab process that<br />
reach beyond the innovative climate<br />
actions themselves, including strengthened<br />
relationships between diverse organizations<br />
and residents, and increased<br />
capacities amongst participants.<br />
Rooted in the understanding that complex<br />
and dynamic challenges like climate<br />
change and rural economic development<br />
cannot be addressed by any single person<br />
or organization, a social innovation lab<br />
is a community engagement and problem-solving<br />
approach that draws on the<br />
diverse strengths, creativity, and wisdom<br />
of a collective to make progress on a complex<br />
challenge. Given the unprecedented<br />
appetite for climate action and creative<br />
solutions in <strong>Nelson</strong>, the Nest Lab is establishing<br />
itself as an ongoing platform for<br />
local innovators and influencers to work<br />
together to advance near-term, implementable<br />
initiatives toward a healthier<br />
and more prosperous community overall.<br />
“This sort of approach to problem-solving<br />
can generate working solutions<br />
that will have a higher degree<br />
of buy-in from the public than those<br />
coming from more traditional topdown<br />
directives. Especially in a city and<br />
regional area with as many talented and<br />
enthusiastic people and organizations<br />
as <strong>Nelson</strong>.” says Gerald Cordeiro, Forest<br />
Development Manager at Kalesnikoff<br />
and Nest Lab Participant, Phase 1.<br />
With funding from the Trottier Family<br />
Foundation, alongside the exciting<br />
addition of two new convening partners<br />
<strong>–</strong> KAST and the Columbia Basin Rural<br />
Development Institute at Selkirk College<br />
who join the City of <strong>Nelson</strong>, Interior<br />
Health and <strong>Nelson</strong> at its Best <strong>–</strong> Phase II<br />
of Nest Lab is set to launch in May 2021.<br />
Nest Lab is currently seeking 24-30<br />
<strong>Nelson</strong> and area residents to apply to<br />
participate. Applicants chosen for Phase<br />
II of the Lab will be guided to think and<br />
work strategically to answer a considerably<br />
challenging question: How might<br />
we harness <strong>Nelson</strong>’s collective resources<br />
and creativity to build our economic and<br />
community health through solutions to<br />
climate change?<br />
Individuals who are committed to<br />
working collaboratively over a seven-month<br />
period, to develop or advance<br />
an innovative climate change solution for<br />
<strong>Nelson</strong> and/or the region are welcome to<br />
apply. Climate change knowledge is not<br />
a requirement or pre-requisite, and individuals<br />
with or without an organizational<br />
affiliation are eligible to participate.<br />
Selected participants will be given the<br />
opportunity to develop skills to more<br />
effectively take action by participating in<br />
engaging workshops with experienced<br />
facilitators and building relationships<br />
across sectors. Small seed grants will also<br />
be available to support some of the most<br />
promising innovations that come out of<br />
Phase II.<br />
Applications will be accepted until<br />
<strong>April</strong> 30, 2021.Apply at nestlabnelson.ca.<br />

Refreshing upgrades<br />
come to Ymir<br />
Ymir’s Riverside Community Park will see<br />
a new gazebo and upgraded facilities with<br />
support from the Trust.<br />
The Ymir Community Association<br />
will make improvements to the Riverside<br />
Community Park with a new gazebo and<br />
upgrades to washroom facilities. The park<br />
already has a well-utilized skate park,<br />
pump track and multi-purpose court, as<br />
well as a camping area. By refreshing this<br />
area, residents and visitors will be able to<br />
spend the day in the hub of town and build<br />
community connections. When larger<br />
events are permitted again and during the<br />
summer, guests in the campground will<br />
also have access to the facilities.<br />
“Ymir has seen an incredible number<br />
of families using the downtown<br />
area because of the new skatepark and<br />
multi-purpose court. The Ymir Riverside<br />
Day Use Area will offer a place for families<br />
to gather, eat, put on skates, take a<br />
break from basketball and biking, and for<br />
seniors to rest in between games of pickle<br />
ball or tennis,” said Isabelle Herzig, with<br />
the Ymir Community Association. “It<br />
will be an amazing space to relax and<br />
enjoy and bring the community together.<br />
The park will be part of the <strong>Nelson</strong>/<strong>Salmo</strong><br />
Great Northern Trail and is managed by<br />
the RDCK in cooperation with the Ymir<br />
Community Association.”<br />

Financial boost<br />
for Selkirk College<br />
students<br />
To ensure learners receive the financial<br />
support required to continue studies<br />
through the challenges of the COVID-<strong>19</strong><br />
pandemic, the provincial government is providing<br />
increased emergency assistance to<br />
Selkirk College.<br />
Earlier this month, the Ministry of<br />
Advanced Education & Skills Training<br />
announced additional emergency funding<br />
for all 25 public post-secondary institutions<br />
in British Columbia. Selkirk College will<br />
receive $175,000 in funding for 2021 to go<br />
along with the $159,500 provided in 2020.<br />
The non-repayable emergency assistance<br />
can be used to help with a broad range of<br />
costs, including living expenses, food, travel,<br />
portable computers and other supports for<br />
students who are returning to campuses for<br />
2021-22. Part of the $9 million invested by<br />
the province since March 2020 to help BC<br />
post-secondary students, the Selkirk College<br />
funds include $47,500 specifically allocated<br />
for Indigenous learners.<br />
Connecting students with vital resources<br />
With accessibility and student well-being<br />
at the forefront of planning over the last 12<br />
months, Selkirk College provided more than<br />
$800,000 in scholarships/bursaries, emergency<br />
funding and technology access grants<br />
in the 2020-2021 fiscal year. Easily eclipsing<br />
the average of $460,000 in annual scholarships/bursaries,<br />
the additional funds were<br />
provided through the generosity of donors<br />
who gave to the COVID-<strong>19</strong> Student Relief<br />
Campaign last spring, provincial emergency<br />
funding and the ongoing Forward Together<br />
campaign.<br />
Though provincial government emergency<br />
funding is specifically earmarked for<br />
British Columbia residents, the additional<br />
funds raised ensure that both out-of-province<br />
students and international learners have<br />
access to financial relief.<br />
“We know that the pandemic continues to<br />
provide significant challenges for all students<br />
and this additional funding will assist those<br />
having the hardest time,” says John Kincaid,<br />
Vice President of Students & Advancement.<br />
“As an example, through technology access<br />
grants we have been able to provide 68 laptops<br />
to low-income students so they have the tools<br />
they need to successfully<br />
adapt their learning to the<br />
altered environment we find<br />
ourselves in. We will continue<br />
to do everything in our power<br />
to make sure we help students<br />
reach their academic goals<br />
through access to this type of<br />
financial assistance.”<br />
With almost $16,000 in<br />
emergency funding distributed<br />
to Indigenous students<br />
on all Selkirk College campuses<br />
in the region last year,<br />
the additional round of provincial<br />
funding will push the<br />
total to $47,500 and comes at<br />
the right time.<br />
“Indigenous students overcome<br />
many challenges to<br />
attend post-secondary and<br />
emergency funding bursaries<br />
ensure students can meet<br />
basic needs for themselves<br />
and their family while studying,”<br />
says Dianne Biin, Manager<br />
of Indigenous Education<br />
& Engagement at Selkirk College.<br />
“We are thankful these<br />
provincial funds exist as they<br />
provide equitable access and<br />
support for Indigenous students<br />
to build future paths.”<br />

❤❤<br />
Hello I am Mumford. I am a 2 year old bunny that came<br />
in to the shelter a week ago. I’m gaining some much<br />
needed weight and feeling great! I am friendly and<br />
starting to show my goofy side. I love carrots but am not<br />
allowed to eat lettuce as it upsets my tummy. I know I will<br />
be happy in a nice home where I’m loved back! I love to<br />
chase people and have races down the hallway.<br />

9 Easy Foods to Grow during the Pandemic!<br />
1. Beans - Full sun, regular waterings<br />
and moderately rich soil is all they<br />
need. You don’t need a big garden to<br />
grow green beans if you choose pole<br />
varieties. Make a tipi for the vines to<br />
grow on from branches (8 ft tall at<br />
least) or suspend some netting and<br />
grow them on a sunny wall against<br />
the house. Soak the beans (seeds)<br />
in water the day before you intend to<br />
plant them.<br />
5. Cucumbers - Another crop that can<br />
be a great space saver. Cucumber<br />
vines will climb a fence or trellis, just<br />
like pole beans. Wait to sow seeds<br />
until the soil is reliably warm - mid to<br />
late May. Sow directly into moist, fertile<br />
soil with tons of sun.<br />
8. Tomatoes - With so many different<br />
varieties available at the local nursery,<br />
you can have a cornucopia of colours<br />
and fl avours growing in your garden.<br />
Tomatoes (like pepper plants) also do<br />
very well in containers. The containers<br />
should be large so that the roots<br />
have at least 8 inches in which to grow<br />
down. 5 gallon buckets are a good<br />
choice. Tomato plants love full sun and<br />
well drained, slightly acidic soil.<br />
Funk<br />
Farm<br />
2. Zucchinis - Notoriously productive!<br />
One plant alone can yield up to 10<br />
pounds in a single season. Zucchini<br />
plants like full sun, and moist welldrained<br />
soils amended with compost.<br />
Make sure you give each plant lots<br />
of room - a circle 3’ in diameter with<br />
3 seedling in the middle should be<br />
enough<br />
3. Radishes - Rewarding, since the<br />
seeds are quick to sprout, often within<br />
a week! Some varieties are ready to<br />
harvest within just three weeks after<br />
planting. Radishes thrive in a sunny<br />
areas with loose soil.<br />
4. Leaf Lettuce - Best for beginners.<br />
Lettuce plants grow quickly, like full<br />
sun but will tolerate shade. Sow directly<br />
in early spring and water regularly.<br />
Another great thing about lettuce plant,<br />
is that they keep on giving if you harvest<br />
just a bit here and there in your<br />
patch.<br />
6. Onions - Buy “onion sets” which<br />
are tiny onions that were grown in the<br />
previous year and then stored. Did you<br />
know that mature onions will let you<br />
know they are ready? When their tops<br />
turn yellow and bend over, pull bulb,<br />
brush off soil and allow to cure for 7-10<br />
days in a warm, dry, ventilated space.<br />
If you don’t want to wait that long you<br />
can pull earlier and use the small<br />
plants as green onions.<br />
7. Peas - When selecting your peas,<br />
choose a disease-resistant variety.<br />
Plant them early. Like beans, soak the<br />
seeds for 24 hours before planting.<br />
Water regularly to keep them happy!<br />
Pick often to keep them producing.<br />
9. Potatoes - Start with seed potatoes,<br />
cut them into chunks, and dry overnight<br />
before planting. Potato plants<br />
love full sun and regular light watering.<br />
Easiest way to grow potatoes is<br />
a grow bag fi lled with rich potting soil<br />
and compost. When plants are about<br />
eight inches tall add more soil to the<br />
bag. Repeat this process until the bag<br />
is full. When the foliage yellows, stop<br />
watering, wait a week and dig up your<br />
potatoes. It’s like a treasure hunt!<br />

<strong>April</strong> clean-up of Kootenay Lake’s East Shore<br />
Friends of Kootenay Lake Stewardship<br />
Society (FoKLSS) in partnership<br />
with Trails for Creston Valley Society<br />
(TCVS) and the East Shore Freshwater<br />
Habitat Society (ESFHS) will be<br />
facilitating a garbage cleanup initiative<br />
along the east shore of Kootenay Lake<br />
between Riondel and Wynndel<br />
throughout the month<br />
of <strong>April</strong>.<br />
In honor of Earth Day we<br />
are calling for all hands on<br />
deck to address the growing<br />
issue of garbage pollution<br />
on the beautiful shoreline<br />
of Kootenay Lake. Our<br />
focus area this year is the<br />
east shore from Riondel to<br />
Wynndel. Garbage has been<br />
building up at popular public<br />
lake access sites along<br />
this stretch throughout the<br />
year, which is suspected to<br />
be a direct result of an influx of people<br />
enjoying these beautiful spaces, paired<br />
with a lack of receptacle access.<br />
All you have to do to take part is:<br />
1. Choose a favorite site you would<br />
like to clean (from the map below) and<br />
check to see if the site has already been<br />
cleaned (from the list below)<br />
2. Let Friends of Kootenay Lake<br />
know which sites you plan to clean/<br />
have cleaned (so we can keep our list<br />
updated)<br />
3. Get out there and clean the site!<br />
Don’t forget to check the list of what to<br />
bring below.<br />
4. (Optional) submit photos of your<br />
cleanup to our Kootenay Lake Beach<br />
Cleanup Photo Contest for a chance to<br />
win prizes from local businesses!<br />
Landfill fees will be covered by<br />
FoKLSS for volunteers who participate<br />
in the campaign to ensure the proper<br />
and safe disposal of removed garbage.<br />

Thomas Matthew Murphy<br />
It is with great sadness that we announce<br />
the passing of Tom on Thursday<br />
<strong>April</strong> 8, 2021 in <strong>Nelson</strong>, B.C. Tom was<br />
blessed to slip away peacefully and quietly<br />
in his own home.<br />
Born on <strong>April</strong> 3, <strong>19</strong>32 in Kimberley, B.C.<br />
to Agnes and Thomas Murphy. One of<br />
Tom’s greatest joys was swimming, for<br />
which he was well known. In <strong>19</strong>55, at<br />
the age of 23, he swam 22 miles of the<br />
treacherous length of Kootenay Lake’s<br />
West Arm from Proctor to <strong>Nelson</strong> in just<br />
over 12 hours.<br />
His love of traveling with his wife, Marie,<br />
took them to a variety of destinations<br />
near and far. Canoeing on Kootenay<br />
Lake with his children filled in<br />
many of his precious recreation hours<br />
as well the many years he spent creating<br />
stunning rock wall terraces on his<br />
property on Kootenay Lake. His children,<br />
all talented in different art mediums,<br />
inherited Tom’s passion for painting<br />
landscapes. All of these qualities were<br />
shadowed by the impression everyone<br />
immediately got from Tom and that was<br />
his unique sense of humour and his<br />
ability to turn a mundane event into an<br />
entertaining story.<br />
Tom worked as a firefighter<br />
in <strong>Nelson</strong> and<br />
was recently honoured<br />
for his heroism in rescuing<br />
3 young boys<br />
from the roof of the<br />
burning Strathcona<br />
hotel in <strong>19</strong>55. He then<br />
worked in mining underground<br />
in the Bluebell<br />
Mine in Riondel<br />
and finally at the Sullivan<br />
Mine in Kimberley where he retired.<br />
Through his health challenges with<br />
COPD, he found comfort in his devotion<br />
to God, and appreciated the connection<br />
with the Catholic Church. He continued<br />
to have a crusty sense of humour<br />
throughout his challenging days, and<br />
became quite a chef serving pork roasts,<br />
and steaks to his family.<br />
Tom is predeceased by his loving wife,<br />
Marie, his son Tom Junior, and his sister<br />
Patricia Mclaughlin. Tom is survived<br />
and dearly missed by his four daughters:<br />
Shannon Murphy, Jo-Anne Wajer (Tom),<br />
Pam Murphy and Erin Murphy (Jim Upchurch);<br />
four grandchildren, Charles and<br />
Michelle Ratcliffe and Chloe and Everett<br />
Smith; and his brothers<br />
John and Jim, his<br />
sister Kathleen; and<br />
Don Lawson and many<br />
nieces and nephews.<br />
The family wishes to<br />
offer their deep gratitude<br />
to his niece Tina<br />
Coletti for her loving<br />
care, his close friend<br />
Anne Harris, along<br />
with his neighbours<br />
and friends Cathy and<br />
Brad McIntosh, Nurse<br />
Practitioner Amanda<br />
Ames, the Nurses and Pharmacy staff at<br />
the <strong>Nelson</strong> Medical clinic, Dr. Cochrane,<br />
and Dr. Malpass, Val Aimes, and the Interior<br />
Health Community Care team; all of<br />
whom deeply cared for him and enjoyed<br />
his great sense of humour which he never<br />
lost. You all contributed to Tom’s wish<br />
of being able to stay at home.<br />
In Lieu of flowers, the family welcomes<br />
donations to a charity that<br />
helps children, which was Tom’s and<br />
Marie’s passion.<br />
The funeral, due to Covid <strong>19</strong>, was for just<br />
family at the graveside, held at the <strong>Nelson</strong><br />
cemetery on <strong>April</strong> 15, 2021.<br />
Personal messages of condolence can be left on the Thompson Funeral Service website https://www.thompsonfs.ca<br />

Joan Ruth<br />
It is with great sadness and heartfelt<br />
loss that we announce the passing<br />
of Joan Ruth Martin on March 25,<br />
2021 at the age of 81, with family<br />
at her side.<br />
Joan was a courageous warrior who<br />
battled cancer for the last 10 months.<br />
We are fortunate that she was able<br />
to spend the last 4 months with Don<br />
at Columbia View Lodge, surrounded<br />
by all of the caring staff.<br />
She will be forever missed by her loving<br />
family including her husband Don<br />
Martin, son Mark (Mary-Ellen) Martin,<br />
daughter Marlese Hutter (Kevin<br />
Campbell), grandchildren Andrew<br />
(Ashley) Martin, Kayla Martin, Kassandra<br />
and Alixandria Hutter as well<br />
as great-grandchildren Aaliyah and<br />
Rylan, adopted sister Linda McDermid,<br />
sister-in-law and brother-in-law<br />
Nancy and Dick Lopaschuck, sister-inlaw<br />
Elaine Martin and all of her nieces<br />
and nephews. She was predeceased<br />
by her parents, her son David Martin,<br />
her brothers-in-law Bruce and Allen<br />
Martin, her sister-in-law Karen Martin<br />
and her nephew Jeff Martin.<br />
<br />
Joan was born in Trail, BC. When she<br />
was 16 she met Don. They married<br />
and bought a home in Rossland and<br />
then welcomed their three children<br />
David, Mark and Marlese into the<br />
world. They moved to Woodbury<br />
Resort on Kootenay Lake and became<br />
snowbirds for 15 years. They<br />
spent lots of time at Riverside Adventure<br />
Trails Resort in Bullhead City<br />
but also travelled to Lake Havasu,<br />
Loughlin, Fort Mojave, Yuma, Death<br />
Valley, Palm Springs and the California<br />
coast. Joan loved camping, golfing,<br />
exploring historic sites, cooking<br />
and was extremely talented and had<br />
<br />
Martin<br />
many passions and did every craft<br />
that is out there.<br />
Joan was known for her Heart of<br />
Gold ♥. Her door was always open.<br />
There are simply not enough words<br />
to express or capture what she<br />
meant to us and how many people’s<br />
lives she impacted. She will be<br />
remembered for her great sense of<br />
humor and the shenanigans she was<br />
involved in.<br />
A Celebration of Life will be held at<br />
a later date at Woodbury Resort on<br />
Kootenay Lake once Covid Restrictions<br />
are lifted.<br />
As an expression of sympathy, those<br />
who wish to do so, may send donations<br />
in Joan’s honor to the Kootenay<br />
Boundary Regional Hospital<br />
Health Foundation (Columbia View<br />
Lodge) at 1200 Hospital Bench, Trail,<br />
BC, V1R 4M1 or online at www.<br />

to see the creativity and hard<br />
work of our local students.<br />
The variety and quality of<br />
the artwork is outstanding.”<br />
Gallery Curator, Maggie<br />
Shirley agrees with Field<br />
and adds, “We missed this<br />

The youth offer such positive<br />
energy and insights. ”<br />
The Gallery is grateful<br />
Registered Wastewater<br />

“It’s been a rough year for<br />

To put this together, the<br />
teachers involved have gone<br />
above and beyond their job<br />
expectations to support the<br />
students. ” The show is supported<br />

OPEN LETTER<br />
Dear <strong>Pennywise</strong> folks:<br />
I must respond to the dreadful advertisement<br />
on the back page of the March 22 issue<br />
of <strong>Pennywise</strong>, posed by the misleadingly-titled<br />
Kootenay Wildlife Heritage Fund of Kimberley.<br />
It characterizes scientists as deploring<br />
we evil humans because our pick-ups, quads,<br />
bikes & snowmobiles will kill every critter<br />
we encounter. No scientist has ever said anything<br />
like that; and animals are not critters,<br />
a degrading word also not used by scientists.<br />
It decries the incorrect assumption that parks<br />
are good, roads bad for wildlife. It claims we<br />
need access to control predators to ensure we<br />
have healthy populations of big game, while<br />
maintaining sufficient access to our natural<br />
resources. It claims, again falsely, that the idea<br />
that nature will balance itself without human<br />
intervention is absurd. Forest harvesting provides<br />
large quantities of food for numerous<br />
species and likewise that parks become predator<br />
pits, wolves, bears and cougars love these<br />
no-go zones. If these areas were opened and<br />
properly managed we may still have out caribou<br />
today.<br />
In reply: Scientists work from fact, not<br />
opinion, and are not inclined to slander. The<br />
damage by noisy vehicles to wildlife populations,<br />
especially during the stress of winter,<br />
are well documented, not speculative. Forest<br />
harvesting by the continued bad practice of<br />
clearcut blocks generates overpopulation of<br />
deer which depredate young cedars (Haida<br />
Gwaii). Parks do not become predator pits,<br />
another deeply unscientific slander. As for<br />
the idea that nature will balance itself without<br />
human intervention is absurd: how ever did<br />
nature manage to survive for millions of years<br />
without 20th century technology?<br />
This is an attack against proper wilderness<br />
management, and offers nothing for wildlife<br />
heritage despite its lying title. Conservation is<br />
a nice word, but its roots are in turn-of-the<br />
20th cnetury Gilded Age efforts to have areas<br />
of wilderness set aside for hunting, not for<br />
broad species preservation.<br />
When it comes to Truth in Advertising,<br />
the Fund fails miserably. Shame on Carmen<br />
Purdy.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Rev. F. Mark Mealing Ph,. D.,<br />
Meadow Creek, BC<br />
Dear Carmen Purdy,<br />
President Kootenay Wildlife Heritage Fund,<br />
I am offended by the disinformation that<br />
you published in the March 22, 2021 <strong>Pennywise</strong><br />
with the Kootenay Wildlife Heritage<br />
Fund advertisement and again on <strong>April</strong> 5.<br />
Scientific studies have shown that human<br />
encroachment through roads, logging and<br />
other industrial activities and recreation is the<br />
main cause of the decline of mountain caribou.<br />
These unique animals have evolved to<br />
avoid predators by moving to deep snow and<br />
rugged habitat, and roads allow the predators<br />
easy access. Nature has managed this balance<br />
without humans very well for millennia.<br />
I am not against hunting. We ourselves<br />
hunt, fish, and recreate in BC’s wildlands, and<br />
we appreciate easy access into these areas, but<br />
we do not need to go everywhere. Wildlife is<br />
not merely a “resource” whose only value is<br />
in the exploitation by humans; they have an<br />
intrinsic right to exist.<br />
The extirpation of mountain caribou in<br />
southern BC is the shame of our generation.<br />
We know what needs to be done to get them<br />
back; protect the remaining herds from predators<br />
by restricting human access and activities,<br />
deactivating existing roads, and as a last<br />
resort, captive breeding. Your advocation for<br />
unfettered exploitation will result in no wildlife<br />
heritage for our children!<br />
Yours sincerely,<br />
Ursula Lowrey, <strong>Nelson</strong>, BC<br />
To the Editor,<br />
I read the Letter from the Kootenay Wildlife<br />
Heritage Fund in which urges our MLA,<br />
Katrine Conroy to convince the BC Legislature<br />
to do something to control predator populations,<br />
specifically, grizzly and black bears,<br />
wolves, coyotes, and cougars to stop them<br />
from killing our caribou, moose, elk, deer,<br />
and sheep. According to Mr. Purdy, some<br />
urban-based groups are calling for “the protection<br />
of predators generally”.<br />
I live in a rural community where I have<br />
farmed and hunted for the last 40 years. It<br />
is true that all wildlife in BC legally belongs<br />
to the Crown, but I have never accepted that<br />
they belong to us. The bears, wolves, coyotes<br />
and cougars were here long before we came<br />
along, and their very lives depend on caribou,<br />
moose, elk, deer, and sheep, so I figure they<br />
have a much stronger claim of ownership.<br />
If I don’t kill a deer, I am unlikely to die of<br />
hunger.…they, on the other hand very well<br />
might. Our environment will always find a<br />
way to balance predator /prey numbers as long<br />
as we don’t interfere. To blame predators, for<br />
the extermination of the caribou is to fail to<br />
recognize that we humans built the roads and<br />
highways, and are invading our backcountry<br />
with snow machines in the winter and quads<br />
in the summer on the logging roads we used<br />
to chop down and remove all the old growth<br />
forest that those animals depended on.<br />
Actually, we were so concerned about the<br />
loss of caribou that we hired people in helicopters,<br />
and payed thousands of dollars per<br />
hour to shoot those nasty wolves, but we<br />
never did get around to reducing the 100 km<br />
per hour speed limit on the <strong>Salmo</strong>/Creston<br />
Skyway. I read recently that we slaughtered<br />
476 wolves in BC last year. In 40 years of<br />
farming, hunting, fishing, berry picking, hiking,<br />
and firewood gathering I have seen only<br />
two wolves, and I have never heard a single<br />
wolf howl from my farm. Wolves are beautiful<br />
animals, so I hope there are still a few<br />
out there. From what I have seen they are not<br />
very thick on the ground.<br />
Mr. Purdy, the least we could do is take<br />
responsibility for our destruction. We are<br />
responsible, for the demise of the caribou,<br />
to suggest otherwise is just pathetic. I prefer<br />
wilderness that supports all wildlife, to a<br />
big game farm managed for human hunters.<br />
Katrine, if we want to conserve wildlife, I suggest<br />
we outlaw the use of off road vehicles on<br />
Crown land. Killing predators so that there<br />
are more ungulates for humans to shoot is a<br />
terrible idea.<br />

The Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport<br />
Systems (CAMTS) will conduct an accreditation site visit of:<br />
KOOTENAY EMERGENCY RESPONSE<br />
PHYSICIANS ASSOCIATION (KERPA)<br />
On <strong>April</strong> 29 & 30, 2021<br />
The purpose of the site visit will be to evaluate the<br />
program’s compliance with established special operations<br />
medical standards. The site visit results will be used to<br />
determine whether, and the conditions under which<br />
accreditation should be awarded to the program.<br />
CAMTS accreditation standards deal with special<br />
operations issues of patient care and safety in the<br />
prehospital and transport environment. Anyone believing<br />
that he or she has pertinent or valid information about<br />
such matters may request a public information interview<br />
with the CAMTS site surveyors at the time of the site visit.<br />
Information presented at the interview will be carefully<br />
evaluated for relevance to the accreditation process.<br />
Requests for public information interviews must be made<br />
in writing and sent to CAMTS no later than 10 business<br />
days before the site survey begins. The request should<br />
also indicate the nature of the information to be provided<br />
during the interview. Such requests should be addressed<br />
to: ADMIN@CAMTS.ORG<br />
The Commission will acknowledge such written requests<br />
in writing or by telephone and will inform the program of<br />
the request for an interview. The Commission will, in turn,<br />
notify the interviewee of the date, time and place of the<br />
meeting.<br />
This notice is posted in accordance with CAMTS<br />
requirements and shall not be removed until the site visit<br />
is completed.<br />

security, and the pandemic has brought this<br />
issue even more to the forefront,” said Katie<br />
Kendall, Senior Manager of Special Initiatives<br />
at Columbia Basin Trust. “This facility<br />
will help increase the locally made food and<br />
beverage options available in the region, benefiting<br />
the people who live here, helping the<br />
region’s producers expand and creating local<br />
employment.”<br />
The project is being led by the Fields Forward<br />
Society, with $150,000 in support from<br />
Columbia Basin Trust. The British Columbia<br />
Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries<br />
is contributing up to $500,000 to purchase<br />
food-processing equipment and cover other<br />
start-up costs. The project is also supported<br />
by the Regional District of Central Kootenay<br />
and is the result of years of research and<br />
development encouraged and aided by the<br />
region’s agricultural community.<br />
“We’re excited to provide a service that<br />
encourages collaboration and communication<br />
among food processors in the region,”<br />
said Elizabeth Quinn, Executive Director,<br />
Fields Forward Society, who will be speaking<br />
at the third annual Basin Food & Buyers<br />
Expoon <strong>April</strong> 9th. “This hub will enable<br />
processors to cut costs and scale up to service<br />
new markets.”<br />
The facility will include equipment to process<br />
dry foods, such as dehydrators, blenders<br />
and mills, and equipment to process wet<br />
foods, such as kettles and pasteurizers. It will<br />
be built in Creston based on a 20<strong>19</strong> Trustfunded<br />
study that found regional producers<br />
preferred this location.<br />
The project addresses the Trust’s strategic<br />
priority to increase Basin residents’ access<br />
to healthy foods that are locally grown,<br />
produced and processed. Through collaborations,<br />
producers will be able to improve<br />
aspects like marketing, packaging, transportation<br />
and distribution. By making value-added<br />
products, they will be able to reduce<br />
waste by creating new items from foods that<br />
might otherwise have been discarded.<br />
The Trust supports regional agriculture in<br />
a number of ways including through Basin<br />
Business Advisors, Kootenay & Boundary<br />
Farm Advisors, as well as supporting Young<br />
Agrarians and the Nutrition Coupon Program<br />
of the BC Association of Farmers’ Markets.<br />

‘New Echoes In The Staircase’<br />
<strong>April</strong> 28 | 7 pm<br />
New Echoes in the Staircase is a mural project<br />
that took place in the Ward Street staircase<br />
of this historic building, which was<br />
previously the entrance to the building when<br />
it was city hall but is now only open to the<br />
public for special occasions. This video features<br />
artists Damian John and Amber Santos<br />
talking about creating art in such a unique<br />
space, studio tours and artist hints from<br />
their practice. The video launch will be on<br />
Facebook Live, followed by a live Q&A with<br />
the artists. The videos were filmed by Carlo<br />

What happens to your<br />
body in freezing water<br />
Have you ever heard of the 1-10-1 Principle?<br />
It has to do with our exposure to cold<br />
water and our body’s reaction. Many people<br />
are aware of hypothermia, however in North<br />
America most people who drown actually<br />
drown of cold water shock.<br />
1-10-1 is a simple way to remember the first<br />
three phases of cold water immersion and the<br />
approximate time each phase takes.<br />
1 Minute - Cold Shock<br />
An initial deep and sudden Gasp followed<br />
by hyperventilation that can be as much as<br />
600-1000% greater than normal<br />
breathing. You must keep<br />
your airway clear or run the<br />
risk of drowning. Cold Shock<br />
will pass in about 1 minute.<br />
During that time concentrate<br />
on avoiding panic and getting<br />
control of your breathing.<br />
Wearing a lifejacket during this<br />
phase is critically important to<br />
keep you afloat and breathing.<br />
10 Minutes - Cold<br />
Incapacitation<br />
Over approximately the next<br />
10 minutes you will lose the<br />
effective use of your fingers,<br />
arms and legs for any meaningful<br />
movement. Concentrate<br />
on self rescue initially, and if<br />
that isn’t possible, prepare to<br />
have a way to keep your airway<br />
clear to wait for self rescue.<br />
Swim failure will occur within<br />
these critical minutes and if<br />
you are in the water without a<br />
lifejacket, drowning will likely<br />
occur.<br />
1 Hour - HYPOTHERMIA<br />
Even in ice water it could<br />
take approximately 1 hour<br />
before becoming unconscious<br />
due to Hypothermia. If you<br />
understand the aspects of<br />

PLANETARY- by Kristy Gordon<br />
<strong>Nelson</strong>-based oil painter Kristy Gordon interweaves motifs<br />

paintings. Her work challenges divisions between high art,<br />
decoration, and illustration through the ambiguous settings<br />
she creates for strange and surprising interactions among<br />
people, animals, and hybrid creatures.<br />

Funding to support community arts festivals helps recovery<br />
New Democrat MLA Brittny Anderson<br />
says grants for <strong>Nelson</strong>-Creston arts<br />
festivals will support artists in community<br />
events over the next year while following<br />
COVID-<strong>19</strong> safety protocols.<br />
“Artists of all kinds here in the Kootenays<br />
make our lives and communities<br />
richer. After a difficult year for most of<br />
them, I’m glad to see that many festivals<br />
will be returning to our area over the<br />
next few months, some with a different<br />
format, where we will all be able to enjoy<br />
them safely.”<br />
The grants will support community<br />
arts festivals and installations by providing<br />
compensation to performing and<br />
visual artists for their performances and<br />
works. Many of these festivals and events<br />
were cancelled last year and are adapting<br />
their formats to ensure everyone in the<br />
community is kept safe.<br />

lights on and adapt to the challenges of<br />
