Possibility of Nakusp biomass project discussed CLAIRE PARADIS Arrow Lakes News
Wood Waste 2 Rural Heat project coordinator David Dubois met in Nakusp with Peter Welkerling, from the Nakusp and Area Chamber of Commerce, Hugh Watt and Beth McLeod from True North and NACFOR’s Tom Zeleznik to talk about the possibility of turning wood waste into heat in the community. Wood Waste 2 Rural Heat (WWRH) is a project that aims to supply 15 per cent of B.C.’s commercial, institutional and residential energy via biomass thermal (waste woodgenerated heat). And according to the WWRH website, this would mean big benefits for both the economy and environment. David Dubois’ visit was an initial conversation about how to start a project in Nakusp, answering questions that the participants had. An important first step is to identify people who are interested in being clients, said Dubois, who gave examples like hospitals and schools who may be interested in a cheap heating source. For areas like Nakusp where natural gas – the biggest competitor to biomass heating in terms of pricing – isn’t used, there are many possibilities. Biomass is usually cheaper than other methods of heating. Where heating costs using natural gas are about $10-11 per Gigajoule and pellets comparable, said Dubois, propane (depending on delivery costs, etc) is approximately $20-30 per GJ, and electricity around $22-24 GJ, biomass prices out at around $3-6 per GJ. That’s a significant savings, but of course capital investment is also significant, said Dubois. Don’t expect to install biomass heating at your home just yet.
“If you’re spending four or five thousand dollars a year it makes sense to look at some sort of a [biomass] heating system,” said Dubois. “If you’re spending less than that, the economics are marginal because your capital costs are getting too high.” One of the limitations is proximity, said the WWRH project coordinator, as the wood waste plant is connected to heat-receiving clients via pipes. The cost to put the pipes in the ground is a deciding factor: the revenue from a client must be worth the investment in a length of pipe. Another factor is the cost of transporting fuel to the heat plant, but with an abundant local waste wood source, transportation can be kept local and costs low. The fuel itself makes a difference, with different boilers appropriate for different kinds of fuel (wet, dry, pellets, etc). The plant itself and associated equipment takes up space, another requirement to get a plant up and running. A 20-foot storage container can house a plant, for example, but the size is dependent on design which is in turn dependent on heating requirements and the kind of fuel being used. The tech involved in the plants is high, with computers involved in regulation of combustion to make it as efficient as possible, resulting in very little waste during burning. “The pellet boiler installed in Lillooet puts out in the order of half a cup to a cup of particulate matter an hour,” Dubois gave as an example. “It’s not nothing but it’s not significant.” WWRH can offer help in the form of identifying potential sites, developing a business case or plan, all the way through to helping write RFPs and final construction, depending on the business model. Examining fuel pro-

Photos courtesy David Dubois duction, heat production and sales is all part of the planning, said Dubois. “But we need a community champion to drive the process,” he said. The WWRH project coordinator asked if there were any local mills interested in producing a fuel source might be using the heat produced. A Fruitvale business that produces soundboards for musical instruments uses waste wood heat for kilns and heating the building, said Dubois, which is a great showcase for the community to see what a project looks like. “It helps people understand what the opportunity is,” he explained, adding that getting community on board is very important. Although the technology is relatively new in North America, Dubois said there are literally hundreds of thousands of wood waste projects in Europe.
“We have more fuel that we can shake a stick at,” he said, apologizing for the pun. “It’s finding the deployment locations, getting them up and running, getting the knowledge to operate them.” The two main drivers of biomass are economic and environmental considerations, Dubois said. Citing European studies, he added that the amount of money that stays in the community with a biomass project that uses locally source fuel is approximately 70 per cent as compared to 10 per cent that stays with fossil fuel use. Although biomass can be used for creating electricity, Dubois said the lack of readily available technology is one issue, and cost is another. The cost of the electricity produced by burning wood waste is far greater than that available through BC Hydro at the moment.
Local Nakusp man takes RCMP on cross country chase around town CLAIRE PARADIS Arrow Lakes News
Nakusp RCMP were involved in a short car chase that turned into a longer foot pursuit on Thursday, April 18. Around 3:45 p.m. an officer tried to stop a pickup near Broadway and Nelson Avenue, but instead of stopping the truck sped away, into the marina parking lot. Hitting an empty parked car, the driver, a 40-year-old Nakusp resi-
dent, jumped out of the truck and ran up toward Broadway Ave. When the police officer, hot in pursuit, arrived on scene, he was given a tip that the man had run into a store. As soon as the officer was in the front door, the fleeing man ran out the back, and the chase was on again. Although the man from the pickup lost the RCMP at this point, backup was called in and a search was started. Eventually the 40-yearcommunity champs
old was seen near where the Kuskanax River and Highway 23 cross. But he wasn’t throwing in the towel just yet: the fugitive continued to run, wading through chest-high water to the other side of the river, running away from the bank and into the woods. The police were also determined, and continued their search until they found the suspect on a Canyon Road property. As soon as he saw the officers, the man was ready to flee, but

a flying tackle from one officer put all thoughts of further escape to rest. After a brief struggle, the man was finally taken into custody. “It was the most action we’ve seen all year,” said Corporal Ryan Fehler, commenting on the length of the chase. Fehler was called in to assist with the mini manhunt on a day off. After a more than hour-long chase, the fellow was found to be driving without a license or insur-
ance, and in breach of probation out of Princeton. Charges being recommended by the police are flight from police, resisting arrest, and failing to remain on the scene of an accident. The pickup was impounded and a ticket for driving without insurance was issued. On behalf of the Nakusp RCMP Fehler thanked the public who helped in the pursuit: “Your help was truly appreciated.”

Premier Christy Clark is campaigning on a platform of holding the line on taxes and using resource revenues to pay down debt. Black Press files Black Press
The B.C. Liberal Party released its election platform Monday, promising to freeze personal income tax rates for five years and return to its plan to eliminate small business income tax. Premier Christy Clark released the platform at a campaign event in Vancouver, challenging NDP leader Adrian Dix to do the same and to participate in a one-on-one debate on the different visions for the province. The B.C. Liberals’ personal tax freeze does not extend to income above $150,000, which was subject to a 2.1 per cent
increase in the government’s February budget. That increase was budgeted to last only two years before returning to the current 14.7 per cent rate. The NDP has proposed to raise the rate on income above $150,000 a year to 19 per cent, permanently. The B.C. Liberals had earlier planned to eliminate income tax for small businesses with annual revenues of $500,000 or less. But faced with deficits after the 2008-09 financial crisis and the rejection of the harmonized sales tax, the government decided in 2012 to hold the small business tax rate at 2.5 per cent until the province’s financial picture improved. The party’s new plan is more
modest, trimming the small business rate by half a point in 2015 and another half point by 2017. The B.C. Liberal platform leans heavily on long-term debt repayment for government, BC Ferries and BC Hydro using liquefied natural gas export revenues. Clark said a conservative scenario of two large LNG export facilities and three smaller ones could provide enough revenue to pay off the province’s debt in 15 years. “The NDP’s fiscal plan is a plan to kill liquefied natural gas,” Clark said. NDP MLA Carole James rejected that claim, saying the party has endorsed LNG exports.
“LNG revenue is an opportunity, but it’s not going to solve all of our challenges,” James said. The NDP has decided on a staged release of policies, which started in Prince George Monday with promises for new investment in reforestation. Other highlights of the B.C. Liberal platform include: • $3 million a year to upgrade rest stops and visitor centres around B.C. • a B.C. film promotion office in Los Angeles • funds to develop an aerospace and defence contractor industry • a five-year freeze of the carbon tax, previously announced

year would go from 14.7 per cent to 19 per cent under an NDP government. The B.C. Liberal budget promised to raise it to 16.8 per cent for two years only. Ralston said the NDP plan would add $1,100 to the tax bill of someone making taxable income of $200,000 a year, and he considers the increase to be a permanent measure. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the NDP plan echoes the policies pursued by the NDP government of the 1990s. “Taxation levels went up, a corporate capital tax was introduced, and investment and jobs fled,” de Jong said. The NDP carbon tax
increase is to be phased in on “venting” emissions from oil and gas production, raising an estimated $35 million next year and tripling over the next two years. Ralston said the NDP will not extend the carbon tax to chemical process emissions on cement plants, aluminum smelters and other industries that emit carbon dioxide beyond their use of fossil fuel. All the new revenues would be spent on programs, including reinstating non-repayable grants for post-secondary students. NDP social development critic Carole James said details of the spending plans will be revealed next week.

Three Island resort suffers recent break-ins Claire paradis Arrow Lakes News
Like the Summit Lake Ski Area and Anderson’s Auto and Tow, Three Islands Resort at Summit Lake also recently suffered
a break-in. At some point between Wednesday, April 10 and Friday April 12, a series of buildings were broken into at the resort. Not only was the main office building at the entrance broken into, a
wood-sided cabin, two outdoor sheds and two travel trailers were also raided. RCMP haven’t been able to get in contact with all the property owners, and so have been unable to determine what, if anything, has
been taken. What was left, however were some signs of vandalism: a window was broken on the cabin and some electronic equipment smashed. Unlike recent snowmobile thefts that appeared to be
very targeted, the mindless nature of the violence leads RCMP to believe that there may be a few locals, possibly youth, responsible, said Corporal Ryan Fehler. If anyone has information about these break-ins
or any others, the RCMP encourages them to call the Nakusp detachment or Crime Stoppers (1-800222-8477).
Election issue: Post-secondary education Tom Fletcher Black Press
Parties in the May 14 B.C. election have highlighted their commitments to improve post-secondary skills training. The province faces a wave of baby boomer retirements, shortages in trades and industrial jobs, an increase in temporary foreign workers and under-employment of some university graduates. Trades and apprenticeship training is a major point of dispute. The B.C. Liberal-created Industry Trade Authority has increased apprentices from 16,000 in 2001 to 34,000, but the NDP counters that percentage completion rates have declined. Independent Contractors and Businesses Association president Phil Hochstein argues that with many more young people in the apprenticeship system, the number of graduates is at a record level. Platform highlights: • The B.C. NDP’s biggest commitment is $100 million for a postsecondary student grant program, to be funded by a capital tax on large financial institutions. NDP leader Adrian Dix also promises $40 million new investment for skills training, to “increase apprenticeship training spaces, shorten completion times and improve completion rates.”
The NDP notes that while the B.C. Liberal government touts its jobs plan in ads, its February budget projects a $42 million cut to the advanced education ministry over three years. • The B.C. Liberals highlight a $75 million commitment for upgrading training facilities and equipment, on top of the $500 million annual skills training budget. The B.C. Liberals emphasize plans to expand vocational training in high schools, and encourage partnerships between high schools and employers. Their platform also promises to develop “relevant training programs” for B.C. residents to work in the LNG industry. • The B.C. Conservatives promise to “increase training and apprenticeships in the trades and technical sector,” but don’t specify how. They also promise to increase on-line learning capabilities in colleges and technical institutes, and give qualified B.C. students priority for admission to the province’s post-secondary institutions. • The B.C. Green Party promises to eliminate interest on student debt over five years, “immediately” cut tuition by 20 per cent, create a grant program for low-income students, increase core funding for colleges and universities by $200 million and provide training for laid-off workers.
Skilled trades are in short supply for many industrial employers, while many university graduates are under-employed. Black Press files

“Chinese companies will be involved in the engineering and construction of the refinery,” Black said. “Up to 100 per cent of the output from the refinery is planned to be sold to Asian markets, including China and India.” He added that majority control of the businesses will remain in Canada. Liu Yanping, deputy
head of corporate banking, and Huang Jifa, deputy head of investment banking at the Chinese bank, said in the statement: “We are very pleased to be working toward a comprehensive agreement to finance a refinery in Canada, which is planning to export refined fuels to China and other Asian countries in the
future.” Black released a Mustel Group poll in February that found three out of four B.C. residents support the idea to refine crude oil in Kitimat rather than export the raw product, diluted bitumen from the Alberta oil sands, by tanker. The same poll found that 57 per cent respon-

Near Death Experiences offer no proof of heaven or hell
John Perkins A Rational View The most recent arrival on the near death experiences (NDE) scene is none other than a neurologist who spent a whole week in a deep coma. The neurologist is Eben Alexander, MD who contracted a particularly severe form of meningitis. The entire article is in the October 8, 2012 issue of Newsweek magazine. Like all good Christian apologists, Dr. Alexander confesses to having been a skeptic, but neither an atheist nor an agnostic, before this life-changing experience. In any event he has written a book called “Proof of Heaven” and rather than reveal the details of his adventure up in the clouds (yes – he actually was up there in the clouds) I won’t steal his thunder. As evidence that one does not have to be religious to experience an NDE, my own father had very serious surgery in 1946. Whilst he was still unconscious in the recovery room he ”saw” his father-in-law, my mother’s father, who had died in 1932, standing at the foot of my father’s bed. Tom said to my father “Are you ready yet, Bill?” My father replied, “No, not yet Tom,” and that was that. My father and maternal grandfather were both agnostically inclined, which caused my mother and grandmother to spend a lot of
their time half-submerged in that river in Egypt, de Nile – sorry – couldn’t resist! In contrast when I was seven or eight I heard my father describe his own father as a sanctimonious old so-and-so. I had to look up ‘sanctimonious’ in a dictionary because it was a totally new word for me. That was probably the beginning of my critical thinking adventure My father was a Chartered Accountant, who had learned to play the church organ in the small Derbyshire village in which he had grown up. When he moved to a larger centre, my home town in Yorkshire, he articled as a C.A. and was forced to supplement his articling pittance by hiring out as a relief church organist to any church that would hire him. When he qualified as a C.A. by the time I was born in 1929 the “damage” was done – his regular exposure to so many faiths had convinced him that none of them had any claim on the truth, so on Friday nights he would play bridge with the Irish priests at St.Peter-inChains, the Roman Catholic rectory. Of course, the operative words in “near death experience” are the first two. Neither my father, nor Dr. Alexander nor the thousands of people who claim to have had NDEs have been clinically dead at the time of their “experience.” National Geographic had an article in 2010 that high levels of carbon dioxide in the blood as it passes through brain cells causes hallucinations which often materialize as common phenomena associated with NDE such as Dr. Alexander describes in his book. So far no-one has emerged from an NDE with stories of horned creatures with barbed tails (or they have kept very quiet about it), so we can assume that everyone who has had an NDE has been in Pearly Gate territory, not “the other place!”

Sinixt reject Ktunaxa treaty claim Editor, Sinixt Nation has worked diligently over the past three decades to correct the 1956 Canadian government’s extinction status of Sinixt people. The Crown has recognized Sinixt people as indigenous peoples of Canada (as a tribal group) but not as the Indian Act’s defined term of “Aboriginal peoples of Canada” as presented in a document dated August 9, 1995 and signed by then Indian Affairs Minister Ron Irwin which stated: “The Arrow Lakes Band ceased to exist as a band for the purpose of the Indian Act when its last [registered] member died on October 1, 1953... It does not, of course, mean that the Sinixt people ceased to exist as a tribal group.” Sinixt Nation has acted in good faith to address the issue of our people being wrongfully termed extinct, whereas the Crown has not. Our most recent legal challenge against the Crown to protect Sinixt interests to cultural sites was struck down and resulted in the B.C. Supreme Court forcing the Sinixt people involved to pay for the court costs. We feel this is contrary to the obligations held by the Crown. “The Crown holds legally binding obligations under international law to recognize and promote the fundamental rights of all humanbeings, including the economic, social, cultural, civil, political and religious rights of all Sinixt peoples regardless of the Canadian laws that exist such as the Indian Act,” said Sinixt Nation Headman Vance Robert ‘Bob’ Campbell Sr. Campbell went on to further state, “The United Nations Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide reads under Article 2(b) that ‘causing mental harm to mem-
bers of a group’ constitutes genocide and clearly the Canadian government is causing mental harm to myself and the other members of the Sinixt Nation by continuing to strip us of our inherent rights as indigenous human beings.” Members and representatives of the Sinixt Nation filed a land claim in 2008 by writ of summons in the B.C. Supreme Courts (file No. 14324) and has notified the Canadian government (and both Provincial and Federal treaty commissions) that our unceeded territory is not to be a negotiation tool with any other tribal groups who are not historically documented as anything but visitors to Sinixt lands. The treaty negotiations are being put forward to the public by the government as an act of reconciliation with first nations peoples. When asked her opinion about the BC Truth and Reconciliation Process and the recent allotment of “Crown Land” near Nakusp BC to the Ktunaxa Nation Council through treaty negotiations, Spokesperson for Sinixt Nation Marilyn James said, “The current process lacks conscience and reason and is sadly, a blatant violation of domestic and international law, and is seen as a continuation of the genocidal policies against Sinixt people who are in the pursuit of our fundamental cultural rights as indigenous peoples in Canada.” “The recent settlement of land granted to the Ktunaxa around the Nakusp area and the planned settlement of lands in the Castlegar area is just another example of the Canadian government acting against the rights of Sinixt people and is taking an act of genocide to a new level by not only committing the act of genocide against the Sinixt peoples in their territory but by embroiling the Ktunaxa and the
public in a collusion of that act,” James said. Modern day colonial government actions are but a continuation of the derogation of Sinixt people’s basic rights and are to benefit the interests of the Ktunaxa Nation Council, who as the archeological record verifies, never occupied the lands around the Arrow Lakes. The traditional winter shelter of the indigenous people of the headwaters of the Columbia River and that of all interior Salish peoples was the pit-house. Hundreds of house-pit depressions are found throughout the region. The archaeological reports confirm that Sinixt people lived in pit-houses while the Ktunaxa people did not. Obviously the indigenous people of the Arrow Lakes region were Salish in origin as can be determined by the place names in region having their roots in Salish culture. The name for Nakusp itself is named after a sn-selxcin word (Lakes-Okanagan language), “nkwusp.” The town of Slocan is named after the sn-selxcin word, “slhu7kin,” translated as “speared in the head” in reference to the Sinixt tradition of spear-fishing in the region. The Nakusp Museum holds an impressive collection of local Sinixt artifacts from the region some of which were donated by Sinixt Nation Headman Vance Robert (Bob) Campbell Sr. Sinixt Nation hereby informs everyone of their obligations to indigenous and international laws and also that they have a duty to respect and recognize Sinixt Nation members inherent and entitled rights to our traditional territory. A map of Sinixt territory can be found online on our website. Dennis Zarelli Sinixt Nation

Muzzling scientists is an assault on democracy
David Suzuki Science Matters Access to information is a basic foundation of democracy. Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms also gives us “freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication.” We must protect these rights. As we alter the chemical, physical and biological properties of the biosphere, we face an increasingly uncertain future, and the best information we have to guide us comes from science. That scientists – and even librarians – are speaking out against what appear to be increasing efforts to suppress information shows we have cause for concern. The situation
has become so alarming that Canada’s Information Commissioner is investigating seven government departments in response to a complaint that they’re “muzzling” scientists. The submission from the University of Victoria’s Environmental Law Centre and Democracy Watch alleges that “the federal government is preventing the media and the Canadian public from speaking to government scientists for news stories – especially when the scientists’ research or point of view runs counter to current Government policies on matters such as environmental protection, oil sands development, and climate change” and that this “impoverishes the public debate on issues of significant national concern.” The complaint and investigation follow numerous similar charges from scientists and organizations such as the Canadian Science Writers’ Association and the World Federation of Science Journalists, and publications such as the science journal Nature. Hundreds of scientists marched on Parliament Hill last July to
mark “the death of evidence.” The list of actions prompting these grievances is long. It includes shutting the worldrenowned Experimental Lakes Area, axing the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy, eliminating funding for the Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences and prohibiting federal scientists from speaking about research on subjects ranging from ozone to climate change to salmon. All of this has been taking place as the federal government guts environmental laws and cuts funding for environmental departments through its omnibus budget bills. It has justified those massive environmental policy changes in part by saying the review process was slow and inefficient, but research by scientists at the University of Toronto, published in the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, “found no evidence that regulatory review in Canada was inefficient, even when regulators had an ongoing load of over 600 projects for review at any given time.” The government appears deter-
mined to challenge any information, person or organization that could stand in the way of its plans for rapid tar sands expansion and transport and sale of raw resources as quickly as possible to any country with money. The results have been astounding. An Environment Canada document leaked to the Climate Action Network states, “Media coverage of climate change science, our most high-profile issue, has been reduced by over 80 per cent.” In the environmental movement, we’ve become accustomed to attacks and attempts by government and its proxies to silence us. We’ve been called everything from “radicals” to “un-Canadian” to “money-launderers.” Federal Treasury Board President Tony Clement even blamed the David Suzuki Foundation and me for opposition to the proposed TransCanada west-to-east pipeline, a project we have yet to say a word about! Some of the ongoing media slurs have been even sillier. Are they that threatened by credible scientific research that might stand in the way of their current
liquidation policies? Canada is a large country with the longest coastline in the world, and is particularly sensitive to climate fluctuations, especially in economic sectors like agriculture, fisheries, forestry and tourism. We aspire to be an “energy superpower.” Surely, understanding the effects of climate change should be at the top of our agenda. In a truly open and democratic society, ideas, policies and legislation are exposed to scrutiny, debate and criticism. Information is shared freely. Governments support research that makes the country stronger by ensuring its policies are in the best interests of the people. A government that values its citizens more than its industrial backers does not fear information and opposition. Countries where governments hold a tight rein on information, shut down or stifle research that runs counter to their priorities, and demonize and attack opponents are never good places to live. We have to make sure Canada doesn’t become one.

Northern winds bring bird heaven to Texas
Gary Davidson Birds of Nakusp As I write this article, Marie and I are in Brazos Bend State Park not far from Houston, Texas. We are making a very leisurely drive home following our usual winter in the Rio Grande Valley. This state park is the sixth one we’ve visited in the last three or four weeks. April is “migration month” in Texas and the birding can, at times, be quite remarkable. Since we left our RV park on March 17, we have seen 240 species of birds. Many of the small birds heading north at this time of year must fly across the Gulf of Mexico. Under normal weather conditions, this flight is
rather straightforward and they find no need to stop when the reach the Texas coast. But it gets a bit more complicated (for the birds) when the winds are from the north. Under these conditions, the birds may be tired when they reach Texas and put down at the first opportunity. Along much of the Texas coast, forest and trees are somewhat scarce, so in places where they do occur, birds may drop in huge numbers. These “hot spots” are well-known amongst birders and when the north winds come, so do the birders! There was a north wind for two days last week. It is still early April and the migration is only just getting started, but the weather did produce some good birds. We visited LaFitte’s Cove Nature Sanctuary, in Galveston, just after the north winds. We were camped nearby so were able to make four visits in a three-day period. In total we saw 17 different species of warbler. In talking to other birders at the site, we know that at least six other warblers we also seen during those three days. Other families, such as buntings,

An Audubon’s Oriole stops for a healthy snack and a quick photo down in Texas. Photo courtesy Gary Davidson flycatcher, hummingbirds, and vireos will also be making the Gulf crossing in the coming days and weeks, but some of the warblers usually lead the way. But it’s not only the forest birds and the migrants that make birding exciting along the Texas coast; the water birds are wellrepresented here. Most fall into one of three groups: shorebirds, long-legged waders, and gulls. One of the parks we visited was Mustang Island State Park. This coastal park provided us with ample opportunity to visit coastal mudflats, estuaries, salt marshes, and beaches. On Mustang Island we saw 23 species of shorebirds (sandpipers and plo-
vers etc), 11 species of waders, (herons, egrets, ibises and spoonbills), and 10 species of gulls (including gulls, terns and skimmers). We spent just three nights on Mustang Island and during that time we saw 126 species. It is very difficult to pick favourites amongst all the species we’ve seen so far. Some are special because of their brilliant plumage, others due to their rarity, and others simply because I don’t often get a chance to see them. When it comes to brilliant plumage there are many contenders for favourite. Even though it is very common, the Northern Cardinal is definitely a candidate. As
is Green Jay, Summer Tanager, any one of the orioles, Painted Bunting, and of course, the stunning Roseate Spoonbill. From the rarities point of view, it would be hard to surpass the Whooping Crane. The world population of wild birds stands at less than 300. From a personal point of view, I would nominate Purple Gallinule, Wood Stork and Cerulean Warbler. I have seen each of these just once or twice before. But if I had to pick one, it would have to be the Cerulean warbler. Next week we will be spending seven nights on the Bolivar Peninsula. This location, and the mid-April timing, should provide some excellent migration birding.
Tune up your writing at Convergence Contributed by Tom Wayman
$32/hr, bonuses and incentives are here for the right applicant.
Looking for a spring tune-up for your writing? A chance to improve your imaginative writing skills through working with mentors and peers will be provided at the second annual Convergence Writers’ Weekend at the Heart’s Rest Retreat Centre in New Denver, June 14 to 16. Participants will also consider how to overcome the paralyzing despair that often accompanies the steady media diet of bad news about the environment. Key presenter and mentor for the Convergence Weekend is best-selling nonfiction writer Alanna Mitchell, author of Sea Sick: The Global Ocean in Cri-
sis. Convergence Weekend participants will also work with local authors Almeda Glenn Miller, Verna Relkoff and Tom Wayman, who will serve as workshop conveners. The workshops will consider writing by participants on any theme, but the focus of the Weekend’s discussions will be on “Writing a New World,” overcoming despair in order to imagine a better world. New Denver author Sean Arthur Joyce will speak on exploring the injustices of the past as a route to a re-imagined future. Registration is now open for the Weekend, which is limited to 25 participants. Cost is $350, which includes presentations, workshops, one-on-one
sessions with Alanna Mitchell, plus all meals from dinner June 14 to lunch June 16. A number of scholarships are available for youth between 15 and 30 years of age. More information, including how to register, is available at www.heartsrest.com/ convergence/convergence-writers-retreat/ Last year’s Convergence Weekend saw 25 participants from the West Kootenay and beyond enjoy writing workshops, meals, and talks on social justice themes. This year’s event is sponsored by the United Church of Canada, the Columbia Basin Trust, the Trust’s Community Initiatives Program, and the Heart’s Rest Retreat Centre.

Good Ol’ Goats to come to Starbelly in July Contributed Lea Belcourt, Starbelly Jam
When CBC began their Spotlight Search in search of the nation’s next musical sensation, no one would have known the last two standing would include Cranbrook’s The Good Ol’ Goats. Fresh off of the Spotlight Search, The Good Ol’ Goats will be bringing their brand of bluegrass alt-folk to the 2013 Starbelly Jam Music Festival this July. The Good Ol’ Goats are Nolan Ackert on lead vocals, banjo and guitar; Angust Liedtke on guitar, dobro, banjo, harmonica and vocals; Theo Moore on standup bass and backing vocals; Angus MacDonald on mandolin, backing vocals and fiddle; Joelle Winkel on shaker and baking vocals; and Julian Bueckert on drums. Using classic acoustic instru-
ments and vocal harmonies, the Cranbrook band draws on themes heard in music by Mumford and Son’s, The Head and the Heart, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, and The Avett Brothers. The Good Ol’ Goats are one of many exciting acts to be announced for the 2013 Starbelly Jam Music Festival. The East Kootenay folk-rockers will join the Sierra Leone Refugee All Stars, West Kootenay favourites, Tofu Stravinsky, Portland’s Shook Twins, Cahalen Morrisson and Eli West of Seattle, Locarno, Quadra Island’s one-man-band Shane Philip, Creston’s Tiizak Hamra, the Buckman Coe Band, Nelson’s Bessie and the Back Eddies, and the Tipi Camp Tribute Ensemble. “Part of what we do at Starbelly is support and showcase great local and regional talent like The Good Ol’ Goats,” said artistic director Lea Belcourt. “I’m sure they’ll have everyone
on their feet this summer, and the fact that they are so young and will be playing our main stage is going to send an awesome message to Kootenay youth about what is possible.” Crawford Bay, B.C. is located on what is known as one of Canada’s most beautiful lakes, Kootenay Lake. When travelling from the west, you get to enjoy the longest free ferry ride in the world as you make your way to the festival. Early-bird tickets for Starbelly Jam are on sale now until May 14. The early bird rate for the adult weekend pass is $95; $55 for a youth weekend pass or an adult day pass; $65 for a seniors weekend pass; a youth day pass is $30; and a seniors day pass is $35. There is free admission for children 12 and under. Tickets can be purchased online at starbellyjam.org/tickets2013

Literary stars will shine at Elephant Mountain Festival Contributed by Tom Wayman
Winners of the Giller Prize, Governor-General’s Literary Award, Trillium Book Award, Canada Reads, and the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour are among the lineup of presenters at Nelson’s second annual Elephant Mountain Literary Festival, July 11 to 14. And along with the roster of nationally-known and local authors and publishers, this year’s Festival will feature all three of B.C.’s Interior mountain colleges offering in Nelson two-week intensive courses in writing and editing, which may be taken for college credit or general interest. “Last year’s lineup of authors was hard to top,” said Lynn Krauss, director of the Elephant Mountain Literary Festival, “but we think we’ve done it.” Among those reading from their work and speaking on panels are M.G. Vassanji, who has won the Giller Prize twice with his novels, including the InBetween World of Vikram Lall. He also is a winner of the Governor-General’s Literary Award for nonfiction. Joining Vassanji in Nelson will be Toronto’s Camilla Gibb, whose novels include Sweetness in the Belly, which won the Trillium Award. And also part of the Festival this year will be funny-man Terry Fallis, whose novel The Best Laid Plans was the 2011 CBC Canada Reads winner and was also awarded the Stephen Leacock Medal for humour. Meanwhile, in conjunction with the Festival, Okanagan College, Selkirk College and College of the Rockies will each offer a writing-related course at Selkirk’s Tenth St. Campus in Nelson. For halfdays July 8 to 19, Okanagan will offer a course in professional editing, while Selkirk presents an introductory creative writing workshop. College of the Rockies is offering a course in creative nonfiction, with an online portion June 26 to July 5, and a classroom portion at the Tenth St. Campus July 8 to 12. These classes have an upper limit, so early enrolment is advised. Further details including how to register may be found under the “Courses” tab on the Elephant Mountain Literary Festival website, www.emlfestival.com Other authors appearing in Nelson at the 2013 Festival include Vernon poet, fiction writer and musician John Lent, who formerly taught at Nelson’s Notre Dame University. And the Quebecois graphic novelist Pascal Giard, whose Bigfoot won the 2011 Best Book at the Canadian comics’ Doug Wright Awards, will speak and show examples of
his work. Publishers appearing at this year’s Festival include the founder of B.C.’s Harbour Publishing, Howard White. White was in the news most recently as the purchaser of Vancouver’s bankrupt Douglas & McIntyre firm, making him head of one of Canada’s largest publishing consortiums. White is also a poet and nonfiction author, as well as editor of the popular Raincoast Chronicles anthologies. Also speaking this July will be Kirstin Cochrane, executive publisher of McClelland & Stewart Doubleday Canada and executive vice-president of Random House of Canada. Joining her will be the managing editor of Montreal’s Drawn & Quarterly
publishers, Tracy Hurren, whose firm publishes leading graphic novelists and cartoonists. Besides readings and talks by invited guests, Festival events include an opening gala featuring several local writers, a spoken word youth workshop, and an opportunity for Festivalgoers to pitch their manuscript to a literary agent. Full details on Festival events, including how to purchase tickets, are available on the Festival website, www.emlfestival.com. Festival sponsors to date include the Canada Council for the Arts, Nelson and District Credit Union, Columbia Basin Trust, College of the Rockies and Selkirk College.

At first, I didn’t like snowmobiling very much. It seemed uncouth, unfun, and against everything I liked. The machines themselves seemed like smelly, hungry torpedoes, snarling and BRAAAP-ing as they eagerly awaited their feast of human flesh. Riding one was unpleasant. The throttle was as jumpy as a teenage anorexic in a possessed candy factory, and steering seemed too much work to bother. Whereas my preferred mode of transport insulated me from the outside world, presenting me with an isolated set of controls, on a sled you are half the controls. With my weight, I had little success forcing the stubborn thing to do much at all. To replicate this feeling at home, simply buy a massage chair, set it to “High” and get a friend or family member to push
you down a hill. While you’re at it, every few feet you proceed without expiring in a way that would make a rather embarrassing obituary, bonk yourself in the crotch area. Try to steer by hanging off the sides, and see if you can avoid traffic. The only thing I didn’t cover was the noise factor, but that could be easily solved with duct tape and a chainsaw or two. With those, you’ll even have extra incentive to avoid people! Now that I’ve made my case, I’ll talk about a completely different reason why I disliked sleds (three hurrahs for padding). Anyway, I tended to go quiet whenever a conversation at school turned towards snowmobiles. Not only was I left out because I knew exactly jack about them, but I couldn’t call anyone out for their boorish judgments. If it were any other conversation, I could step in with some fact or another that would hopefully quiet the plebes.
Instead, I had to stand by, peeved off by the whiff of bull----. It was like being a Texan at a science convention where everybody is probably a liar. That was, to say the least, a bizarre analogy. But, that’s what you get when a 15 year-old writes about things. He’s probably distracted, anyway. Of course, what’s one half of a story without the other. This, you may recognize, is the point where I smoothly segue into why I like snowmobiles now. The turning point, if you will. The point when Sean Connery’s fight against the dragons really takes off, if you know what I’m saying. I’ve never actually seen that movie. It just sits on the shelf, gathering dust, and probably crying about how Andy doesn’t love it anymore. I just realized I was supposed to do something in this paragraph. Oh well. Getting back on track, the transition between hatred, mere tol-

7919 Okanagan Landing Road THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS
A beautiful day that actually turned out to be a great day for learning to love snowmobiling. Photo courtesy Craig Schroff erance and slight affection was both quick and gradual. I began to appreciate that nice little feeling when you BRAAAAP out of a corner, once I figured out how to properly do so. I began to gain some semblance of control, and felt like I was no longer fighting against a rabid dog on skis. Mostly (okay, completely) thanks to my dad and Tom Webster sage advice, I didn’t plow it into a tree. Small wonder. Heck, on the most recent run, I was enjoying myself 80 per cent of the time! That’s probably a record beaten only by the time I first played Grand Theft Auto 4, and realized that the game had physics! No, not physics, physics. It’s different because it’s in italics. For the first time, motorbikes could not travel up literally anything short of a 90 degree incline. While that was a
disappointment for some, I found it exciting. I finally had a realistic virtual world to play around in. It felt much the same when I was first let loose on a sled somewhere relatively open. Like Magellan in a sea of snow, I could blaze my own trails. Truthfully, if you were watching, you wouldn’t have noticed anything. It was not a challenging area, and I didn’t challenge it. But, I’m an author, and I deal more in emotions more than actual facts; and the fact is, it was awesome. I think I finally understand why people like it so much. That feeling of mastery, unearned or not, when you completely nail something is second to none. The feeling that you’re in control, you’re going fast, and you’ve got a mission...to kick ass. Corny line aside, I mean it. The same feel-
ing skateboarders get whenever they finally manage whatever idiotic, potentially nut-crushing trick they’ve been practicing (hey, I said the feeling is the same, not that the risks and effort involved are equal). The same feeling that a cowboy got, as his horse sped away from town, outlined by the orange sunset. The same feeling I get when I run over 16 successive pedestrians in GTA! It’s there, and it’s undeniable. That rush of adrenaline and endorphins is addictive, and, even for me, might be worth (Gasp) unsticking myself from the couch for. There you have it, folks. The mountains made a convert out of a sheltered, disapproving nerd. Good luck getting me to go off any of those jumps, though.
