Corb Lund - Solo Acoustic 

Iconic Canadian Country music Artist, Corb 

Lund, performs an Acoustic Solo Performance at 

The Bailey Theatre in Trail this November 27 at 

7:30 pm. 

Hailing from the foothills of Alberta’s Rocky 

Mountains singer-songwriter Corb 

Lund comes from a rural background, 

with a long family lineage of ranchers 

and rodeo people. An elusive artist, 

he moves seamlessly between the outlaw 

country, Western, and indie-folk 

realms with an honest curiosity and 

rowdy devotion to each. 

Raised on the DIY sentiment of “if 

you want something done, you gotta do 

it yourself ’’, Corb launched his career 

recording in his basement, printing his 

own t-shirts, booking his own tours, 

being his own Manager and publicist… 

whatever it took to get it done. 

Touring for years with the indie-metal 

band, The Smalls, before he turned his 

sights to writing Western songs, creating 

a rather unique and quirky hybrid 

writing style along the way. 

With three Gold albums to his 

credit, Corb Lund has received multiple 

domestic and international award 

wins and nominations. In 2022, Lund 

won his 14th career Canadian Country 

Music Award, the same year he made 

his debut at the historic Grand Ole 

Opry. His latest album, EL VIEJO, is 

highly acclaimed and features all original 

songs, with the title song being 

a tribute to his longtime friend Ian 

Tyson. 

So, come spend an intimate evening 

with the thinking cowboy’s troubadour. 

Get your tickets early because demand is 

expected to be high as his shows are selling out 

everywhere. Corb Lund is a presentation of the 

Kootenay Concert Concert Connection in association 

with the Goat and Bridge FM.

Celebrating 

50 Years 

of Logger 

Sports 

TO NEW DENVER 

With respect and gratitude we recognize 

that all these festivities take part on the 

land of the Sinixt, the Ktunaxa and Syilx 

peoples upon whose unceded territories 

we live, work and play. 

May Days has been part of the fabric of this 

community since 1892. That is 132 years 

sporting three glorious, fun-filled days, 

hosted by the Kaslo & Area Chamber of 

Commerce. 

Saturday is definitely kid-centric entertainment 

day at Vimy Park starting at 10 am. 

Helicopter rides, a long time favourite, are 

back on Saturday as a fundraiser for Kaslo 

Search and Rescue. Logger Sports, celebrating 

its 50th year, runs Saturday and Sunday, 

you will hear the roar of chainsaws and the 

crowd as the Logger Sports competitors entertain 

and thrill. Watch as Champions are 

made in a number of events! Exciting action, 

amazing physical feats – a crowd pleaser. 

Another annual favourite is the Kaslo Show 

‘N Shine Car Show, starting Sunday starting 

at 10am. You won’t want to miss these beauties 

- after 27 years they just get better! You 

will have time to see them before day two of 

the the Logger Sports begins. Live entertainment 

happens all weekend at the Gazebo in 

Vimy Park. Though it is easy to doze on the 

green by the Gazebo, please be aware, the annual 

Slo-pitch tournament happening and 

occasionally a ball leaves the playing field... if 

you hear Heads Up tuck & duck!! Vimy Park 

will be brimming with craft and food vendors, 

all weekend long. 

Monday our Kaslo traditions include the 

May Days Parade - this years theme is The 

70s. On the second pass of the parade follow 

it down to Vimy Park to hear the Kootenay 

Kiltie Pipe Band perform, followed by our 

cherished May Pole Dance, first danced in 

1923. This year it will be performed by: 

Tess DuFort, Mazie Carlson 

Carson Carnegie, Nova Hathaway 

Ozzie Hathaway, Katie Lettrari

Meet Daphne! 

This energetic spayed female is looking for her forever home! 

She’s a sweet mastiff cross that absolutely LOVES to play fetch, she’s 

very smart and knows a few commands such as sit, stay, down, 

come. 

Daphne would benefit from training as she does like to learn new 

things but needs a focus to curb some puppy energy. 

If you’re interested in this sweet girl please fill out an application 

online OR come meet her in person!

Kootenay Wildfire Art on Display 

Eerie wildfire 

smoke is just a part 

of the Kootenay 

summer experience 

now as illustrated 

by the art currently 

hanging on display 

on the Nelson 

Library gallery wall. 

The panels are taken 

from the in-progress 

graphic novel 

by writer-artist 

Nathan Wilkinson 

and novelist Anne 

DeGrace. We Were 

Found in the Fires is 

about a rookie wildfire fighter who is processing her Doukhobor 

past while also encountering old-growth activists, ravers, 

homesteaders and other recognizable Kootenay figures on the 

job.

The gallery show will be a sneak peak of the forthcoming 

book, displaying a chapter that will be found halfway through, 

showing the fire crew as they are tasked with off-grid evacuation 

compliance. As the illustrator of the story, Wilkinson found a 

way to convey the pervasiveness of the smoke: “All the art is 

simple monochrome, except for the yellow smoke that accumulates 

over the scenes as the story progresses. This show is an 

extract from earlier in the season, when the air is just starting 

to cloud over. By the climax, the images will be obscured by a 

thick, claustrophobic cover.” 

The panel illustrations were created using an iPad and stylus, 

giving Wilkinson greater control over the final image. “I always 

used to use ink and paper but working digitally gives way more 

freedom for resizing parts of a composition, or erasing mistakes 

without leaving marks. It’s a huge load off for an artist as 

obsessive as me.” 

Nowadays summer smoke is part of our collective experience. 

Wilkinson and DeGrace are creating stories that reflect 

that reality. The exhibition continues until the end of June.

Play it safe around our reservoirs 

Play it safe when boating or swimming this summer. Our reservoirs can be enjoyable 

recreation destinations, but it’s important to practice common sense safety precautions. 

Because the water in our reservoirs is used for flood control and the production of electricity, 

reservoir water levels can rise or fall daily. Changing water levels can conceal submerged 

hazards, particularly in shallow water near the shoreline. Visitors and reservoir users should be 

aware of these potential dangers and take precautions to stay safe. 

Boating, fishing, and swimming above or below a dam or generating station can be very 

dangerous. For your own safety and the safety of those with you, obey all warning signs and 

stay out of restricted areas. Boaters must comply with all Canadian Coast Guard regulations 

and practice safe boating at all times. 

For more information about BC Hydro’s Columbia basin reservoir operations, visit bchydro.com 

or call our toll-free reservoir information line at 1 877 924 2444. You can also sign up to receive 

weekly water level forecasts by email by contacting southern-interior.info@bchydro.com. 

Have fun – but be careful!

Music & Landscape Take 

the Stage 

Music steeped in landscape is on the menu 

at Taghum Hall when two musicians from 

Vancouver Island, John Gogo and Allen 

Dobb, take the stage on Sunday, May 26 at 

7:30pm. 

Western balladeer John Gogo hails from 

a musical family in Snuneymuxw (aka 

Nanaimo). He’s best known for writing and 

performing folksongs about the people and 

places, and the true and the tall tales of the 

West Coast—the islands in particular. From 

Haida Gwaii to St. John’s, John has played 

community halls and 

big houses, festivals 

pubs, and theatres— 

and now Taghum Hall. 

Joseph Blake of the Victoria 

Times hails Gogo 

as “One of the most talented 

singer-songwriters 

this area has ever 

produced.” 

Victoria-based singer-songwriter 

Allen 

Dobb is on tour after 

recording his new 

album, Alone Together, 

a collection of ten new 

original songs drawn 

from characters, stories, 

and landscapes that are 

part of his experience 

working as a range management 

specialist in the 

interior of B.C. The vein 

of the Fraser River and 

BC’s interior landscapes 

run through many of his 

new songs. Peter North, 

reviewer for the Edmonton 

Journal, describes 

Dobb as “one of the 

finest and most literate 

tunesmiths in the 

country.” 

These fine musicians 

will play separate sets, 

but “we do have two 

hearty helpings of ‘Canadiana’ 

to sing together. I 

won’t say exactly what 

those are ‘cause it’s a 

surprise,” says Gogo 

mysteriously. What will 

that look like? There is 

one sure way to find out. 

Tickets are available at 

Eddy Music or online at

Tips to Reduce Climate Impact 

This Earth Month, Basin residents shared with us the steps 

they are taking to be more climate conscious. More than 400 

people responded to our questions about energy efficiency, 

food waste, cutting out single-use plastics. We’ve collected 

some of the top tips from the answers shared with us to 

inspire us all! 

Improve Energy Efficiency 

How are you conserving energy? Residents had lots of 

ideas about how to improve efficiency and ultimately reduce 

climate impact. 

✔ Septic Installations, Maintenance & Repair 

✔ Sump Pits and Lift Stations 

✔ Drain Auguring and Flushing 

✔ Grease Trap Servicing

• Wash clothes on cold and hang clothes to dry. 

• Turn off lights and unplug appliances. 

• Turn down the thermostat or install a thermostat that 

turns itself down. 

Reduce Food Waste 

How are you reducing food waste? Residents’ creativity 

came through with so many ideas about turning scraps into 

high-impact items for the kitchen or the garden. 

• Meal plan and eat leftovers. 

• Get creative with food scraps – like turning veggie ends 

into vegetable stock, cooking with lesser used produce parts 

(like carrot tops, kale stems or potato skins), or regrowing 

vegetables 

• Compost. 

Minimize single-use plastics 

How have you shifted your daily activities to rid them of 

single-use items? We heard from early champions of reusable 

bags and consumers who are careful about single-use 

packaging of produce and other purchases. 

• Carry reusable bags. 

• Use a reusable water bottle, coffee mug and containers 

for takeaway. 

• Say no to single-use plastics like produce with extensive 

plastic packaging.

HEALTHY CHOICES 

7. Divide and Transplant 

In early spring when they are just 

beginning to pop up, divide and 

transplant any perennials that have 

outgrown their space or grown large 

enough to split, if desired. In most 

cases, it’s best to divide and move 

perennials in the opposite season 

of when they bloom. That means 

m o v i n g 

summer and 

fall blooming

Bloom & Groom 

It has been such a cold slow spring, these spring garden chores are still relevent 

perennials 

in spring, 

and spring 

blooming 

perennials 

in fall. This 

a v o i d s 

disrupting 

their bloom 

cycle. 

Evergreen shrubs can be moved in 

early spring before their new growth 

appears or in early fall to give them 

enough time to re-establish their 

roots before winter. Deciduous 

shrubs can be moved almost 

anytime they are not in bloom and 

the weather is mild, but generally 

spring and fall are the preferred 

seasons for transplanting. If you 

move them while they are dormant, 

there will be less stress on the 

plants and they will be more likely 

to spring back into action quickly. 

8. Trellises and Stakes. 

If you’ve brought a trellis into the 

garage or shed for winter, now is 

the time to bring it back out into 

the garden. Make sure it’s sturdy 

and apply a fresh coat of paint if 

needed before using it again. If 

you grow peonies, delphiniums, or 

any other perennials that require 

support, set them out now or get 

them ready to go. Trying to wrangle 

tender peony stems into a peony 

ring is tough work once their leaves 

have unfurled. 

9. Spring containers and annual 

borders 

Though most annual flowers need 

the soil to warm up a bit before 

planting, some cool weather loving 

plants like pansies, nemesia, and 

osteospermum daisies won’t mind 

if you plant them in the garden 

early. Fill your spring containers 

with sweet alyssum, lobelia and 

Supertunia petunias, too. You’ll 

find six solutions for cool weather 

plantings in this article. For most 

other annuals, it’s a good idea to 

wait until your area’s last frost 

date to plant. Your local Extension 

Service website lists that date on 

their website. 

10. Be ready for freezing 

temperatures 

are in the forecast.If you garden 

in an area where late spring frosts 

and freezes are a possibility, be 

prepared to cover up plants that 

have tender emerging buds or 

foliage if freezing temps are in 

the forecast. If the buds haven’t 

begun to open yet, there’s no 

need to cover them.Old sheets 

and towels that have been 

relegated to the rag pile are a 

good option, and professional row 

cover is available for purchase, 

too. DO NOT cover tender plants 

with plastic sheeting or tarps. 

The effect of the plastic touching 

the newly emerging buds and 

foliage will magnify the cold’s 

effect, rather than mitigate it. 

The sun is coming!
