Corb Lund - Solo Acoustic<br />
Iconic Canadian Country music Artist, Corb<br />
Lund, performs an Acoustic Solo Performance at<br />
The Bailey Theatre in <strong>Trail</strong> this November 27 at<br />
7:30 pm.<br />
Hailing from the foothills of Alberta’s Rocky<br />
Mountains singer-songwriter Corb<br />
Lund comes from a rural background,<br />
with a long family lineage of ranchers<br />
and rodeo people. An elusive artist,<br />
he moves seamlessly between the outlaw<br />
country, Western, and indie-folk<br />
realms with an honest curiosity and<br />
rowdy devotion to each.<br />
Raised on the DIY sentiment of “if<br />
you want something done, you gotta do<br />
it yourself ’’, Corb launched his career<br />
recording in his basement, printing his<br />
own t-shirts, booking his own tours,<br />
being his own Manager and publicist…<br />
whatever it took to get it done.<br />
Touring for years with the indie-metal<br />
band, The Smalls, before he turned his<br />
sights to writing Western songs, creating<br />
a rather unique and quirky hybrid<br />
writing style along the way.<br />
With three Gold albums to his<br />
credit, Corb Lund has received multiple<br />
domestic and international award<br />
wins and nominations. In 2022, Lund<br />
won his 14th career Canadian Country<br />
Music Award, the same year he made<br />
his debut at the historic Grand Ole<br />
Opry. His latest album, EL VIEJO, is<br />
highly acclaimed and features all original<br />
songs, with the title song being<br />
a tribute to his longtime friend Ian<br />
Tyson.<br />
So, come spend an intimate evening<br />
with the thinking cowboy’s troubadour.<br />
Get your tickets early because demand is<br />
expected to be high as his shows are selling out<br />
everywhere. Corb Lund is a presentation of the<br />
Kootenay Concert Concert Connection in association<br />
with the Goat and Bridge FM.<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 />

brought to you by<br />
Celebrating<br />
50 Years<br />
of Logger<br />
Sports<br />
TO NEW DENVER<br />
With respect and gratitude we recognize<br />
that all these festivities take part on the<br />
land of the Sinixt, the Ktunaxa and Syilx<br />
peoples upon whose unceded territories<br />
we live, work and play.<br />
<strong>May</strong> Days has been part of the fabric of this<br />
community since 1892. That is <strong>13</strong>2 years<br />
sporting three glorious, fun-filled days,<br />
hosted by the Kaslo & Area Chamber of<br />
Commerce.<br />
Saturday is definitely kid-centric entertainment<br />
day at Vimy Park starting at 10 am.<br />
Helicopter rides, a long time favourite, are<br />
back on Saturday as a fundraiser for Kaslo<br />
Search and Rescue. Logger Sports, celebrating<br />
its 50th year, runs Saturday and Sunday,<br />
you will hear the roar of chainsaws and the<br />
crowd as the Logger Sports competitors entertain<br />
and thrill. Watch as Champions are<br />
made in a number of events! Exciting action,<br />
amazing physical feats <strong>–</strong> a crowd pleaser.<br />
Another annual favourite is the Kaslo Show<br />
‘N Shine Car Show, starting Sunday starting<br />
at 10am. You won’t want to miss these beauties<br />
- after 27 years they just get better! You<br />
will have time to see them before day two of<br />
the the Logger Sports begins. Live entertainment<br />
happens all weekend at the Gazebo in<br />
Vimy Park. Though it is easy to doze on the<br />
green by the Gazebo, please be aware, the annual<br />
Slo-pitch tournament happening and<br />
occasionally a ball leaves the playing field... if<br />
you hear Heads Up tuck & duck!! Vimy Park<br />
will be brimming with craft and food vendors,<br />
all weekend long.<br />
Monday our Kaslo traditions include the<br />
<strong>May</strong> Days Parade - this years theme is The<br />
70s. On the second pass of the parade follow<br />
it down to Vimy Park to hear the Kootenay<br />
Kiltie Pipe Band perform, followed by our<br />
cherished <strong>May</strong> Pole Dance, first danced in<br />
1923. This year it will be performed by:<br />
Tess DuFort, Mazie Carlson<br />

Kootenay Wildfire Art on Display<br />
Eerie wildfire<br />
smoke is just a part<br />
of the Kootenay<br />
summer experience<br />
now as illustrated<br />
by the art currently<br />
hanging on display<br />
on the Nelson<br />
Library gallery wall.<br />
The panels are taken<br />
from the in-progress<br />
graphic novel<br />
by writer-artist<br />
Nathan Wilkinson<br />
and novelist Anne<br />
DeGrace. We Were<br />
Found in the Fires is<br />
about a rookie wildfire fighter who is processing her Doukhobor<br />
past while also encountering old-growth activists, ravers,<br />
homesteaders and other recognizable Kootenay figures on the<br />
job.<br />
colville<br />
509-684-2584<br />
colvillemonument.com<br />
The gallery show will be a sneak peak of the forthcoming<br />
book, displaying a chapter that will be found halfway through,<br />
showing the fire crew as they are tasked with off-grid evacuation<br />
compliance. As the illustrator of the story, Wilkinson found a<br />
way to convey the pervasiveness of the smoke: “All the art is<br />
simple monochrome, except for the yellow smoke that accumulates<br />
over the scenes as the story progresses. This show is an<br />
extract from earlier in the season, when the air is just starting<br />
to cloud over. By the climax, the images will be obscured by a<br />
thick, claustrophobic cover.”<br />
The panel illustrations were created using an iPad and stylus,<br />
giving Wilkinson greater control over the final image. “I always<br />
used to use ink and paper but working digitally gives way more<br />
freedom for resizing parts of a composition, or erasing mistakes<br />
without leaving marks. It’s a huge load off for an artist as<br />
obsessive as me.”<br />
Nowadays summer smoke is part of our collective experience.<br />
Wilkinson and DeGrace are creating stories that reflect<br />
that reality. The exhibition continues until the end of June.<br />

Play it safe around our reservoirs<br />
Play it safe when boating or swimming this summer. Our reservoirs can be enjoyable<br />
recreation destinations, but it’s important to practice common sense safety precautions.<br />
Because the water in our reservoirs is used for flood control and the production of electricity,<br />
reservoir water levels can rise or fall daily. Changing water levels can conceal submerged<br />
hazards, particularly in shallow water near the shoreline. Visitors and reservoir users should be<br />
aware of these potential dangers and take precautions to stay safe.<br />
Boating, fishing, and swimming above or below a dam or generating station can be very<br />
dangerous. For your own safety and the safety of those with you, obey all warning signs and<br />
stay out of restricted areas. Boaters must comply with all Canadian Coast Guard regulations<br />
and practice safe boating at all times.<br />
For more information about BC Hydro’s Columbia basin reservoir operations, visit bchydro.com<br />
or call our toll-free reservoir information line at 1 877 924 2444. You can also sign up to receive<br />
weekly water level forecasts by email by contacting southern-interior.info@bchydro.com.<br />

Music & Landscape Take<br />
the Stage<br />
Music steeped in landscape is on the menu<br />
at Taghum Hall when two musicians from<br />
Vancouver Island, John Gogo and Allen<br />
Dobb, take the stage on Sunday, <strong>May</strong> 26 at<br />
7:30pm.<br />
Western balladeer John Gogo hails from<br />
a musical family in Snuneymuxw (aka<br />
Nanaimo). He’s best known for writing and<br />
performing folksongs about the people and<br />
places, and the true and the tall tales of the<br />
West Coast—the islands in particular. From<br />
Haida Gwaii to St. John’s, John has played<br />
community halls and<br />

Joseph Blake of the Victoria<br />
Times hails Gogo<br />
as “One of the most talented<br />
singer-songwriters<br />
this area has ever<br />
produced.”<br />
Victoria-based singer-songwriter<br />
Allen<br />
Dobb is on tour after<br />
recording his new<br />
album, Alone Together,<br />
a collection of ten new<br />
original songs drawn<br />
from characters, stories,<br />
and landscapes that are<br />
part of his experience<br />
working as a range management<br />
specialist in the<br />
interior of B.C. The vein<br />
of the Fraser River and<br />
BC’s interior landscapes<br />
run through many of his<br />
new songs. Peter North,<br />
reviewer for the Edmonton<br />
Journal, describes<br />
Dobb as “one of the<br />
finest and most literate<br />
tunesmiths in the<br />
country.”<br />
These fine musicians<br />
will play separate sets,<br />
but “we do have two<br />
hearty helpings of ‘Canadiana’<br />
to sing together. I<br />
won’t say exactly what<br />
those are ‘cause it’s a<br />
surprise,” says Gogo<br />
mysteriously. What will<br />
that look like? There is<br />
one sure way to find out.<br />

Tips to Reduce Climate Impact<br />
This Earth Month, Basin residents shared with us the steps<br />
they are taking to be more climate conscious. More than 400<br />
people responded to our questions about energy efficiency,<br />
food waste, cutting out single-use plastics. We’ve collected<br />
some of the top tips from the answers shared with us to<br />
inspire us all!<br />
Improve Energy Efficiency<br />
How are you conserving energy? Residents had lots of<br />
ideas about how to improve efficiency and ultimately reduce<br />
climate impact.<br />
✔ Septic Installations, Maintenance & Repair<br />
✔ Sump Pits and Lift Stations<br />
✔ Drain Auguring and Flushing<br />
✔ Grease Trap Servicing<br />

• Wash clothes on cold and hang clothes to dry.<br />
• Turn off lights and unplug appliances.<br />
• Turn down the thermostat or install a thermostat that<br />
turns itself down.<br />
Reduce Food Waste<br />
How are you reducing food waste? Residents’ creativity<br />
came through with so many ideas about turning scraps into<br />
high-impact items for the kitchen or the garden.<br />
• Meal plan and eat leftovers.<br />
• Get creative with food scraps <strong>–</strong> like turning veggie ends<br />
into vegetable stock, cooking with lesser used produce parts<br />
(like carrot tops, kale stems or potato skins), or regrowing<br />
vegetables<br />
• Compost.<br />
Minimize single-use plastics<br />
How have you shifted your daily activities to rid them of<br />
single-use items? We heard from early champions of reusable<br />
bags and consumers who are careful about single-use<br />
packaging of produce and other purchases.<br />
• Carry reusable bags.<br />
• Use a reusable water bottle, coffee mug and containers<br />
for takeaway.<br />
• Say no to single-use plastics like produce with extensive<br />
plastic packaging.<br />

HEALTHY CHOICES<br />
7. Divide and Transplant<br />
In early spring when they are just<br />
beginning to pop up, divide and<br />
transplant any perennials that have<br />
outgrown their space or grown large<br />
enough to split, if desired. In most<br />
cases, it’s best to divide and move<br />
perennials in the opposite season<br />
of when they bloom. That means<br />
m o v i n g<br />
summer and<br />
fall blooming<br />

Bloom & Groom<br />
It has been such a cold slow spring, these spring garden chores are still relevent<br />
perennials<br />
in spring,<br />
and spring<br />
blooming<br />
perennials<br />
in fall. This<br />
a v o i d s<br />
disrupting<br />
their bloom<br />
cycle.<br />
Evergreen shrubs can be moved in<br />
early spring before their new growth<br />
appears or in early fall to give them<br />
enough time to re-establish their<br />
roots before winter. Deciduous<br />
shrubs can be moved almost<br />
anytime they are not in bloom and<br />
the weather is mild, but generally<br />
spring and fall are the preferred<br />
seasons for transplanting. If you<br />
move them while they are dormant,<br />
there will be less stress on the<br />
plants and they will be more likely<br />
to spring back into action quickly.<br />
8. Trellises and Stakes.<br />
If you’ve brought a trellis into the<br />
garage or shed for winter, now is<br />
the time to bring it back out into<br />
the garden. Make sure it’s sturdy<br />
and apply a fresh coat of paint if<br />
needed before using it again. If<br />
you grow peonies, delphiniums, or<br />
any other perennials that require<br />
support, set them out now or get<br />
them ready to go. Trying to wrangle<br />
tender peony stems into a peony<br />
ring is tough work once their leaves<br />
have unfurled.<br />
9. Spring containers and annual<br />
borders<br />
Though most annual flowers need<br />
the soil to warm up a bit before<br />
planting, some cool weather loving<br />
plants like pansies, nemesia, and<br />
osteospermum daisies won’t mind<br />
if you plant them in the garden<br />
early. Fill your spring containers<br />
with sweet alyssum, lobelia and<br />
Supertunia petunias, too. You’ll<br />
find six solutions for cool weather<br />
plantings in this article. For most<br />
other annuals, it’s a good idea to<br />
wait until your area’s last frost<br />
date to plant. Your local Extension<br />
Service website lists that date on<br />
their website.<br />
10. Be ready for freezing<br />
temperatures<br />
are in the forecast.If you garden<br />
in an area where late spring frosts<br />
and freezes are a possibility, be<br />
prepared to cover up plants that<br />
have tender emerging buds or<br />
foliage if freezing temps are in<br />
the forecast. If the buds haven’t<br />
begun to open yet, there’s no<br />
need to cover them.Old sheets<br />
and towels that have been<br />
relegated to the rag pile are a<br />
good option, and professional row<br />
cover is available for purchase,<br />
too. DO NOT cover tender plants<br />
with plastic sheeting or tarps.<br />
The effect of the plastic touching<br />
the newly emerging buds and<br />
foliage will magnify the cold’s<br />
effect, rather than mitigate it.<br />
