ifty-six years after the SS Moyie was taken out of service, a new sternwheeler is plying the waters around Kaslo. The Kootenay Star, a miniature version of Kootenay Lake’s historic sternwheelers, was designed and built by Dave May. Launched last year, it’s now ready for further testing and interior finishing. The boat is 48 feet (14.4 metres) long, 12 feet (three metres) wide, about 12 feet tall, and seats a dozen. Its hydraulic system is driven by diesel motor. May designed the boat in honour of his father, uncle, and all others who worked on the lake ferry system. “As a young person, I spent many memorable hours travelling on the Anscomb with my father, the mate, and my uncle, who was captain,” he says.

His family moved to Balfour after World War II and first lived near Fraser’s Landing, where the SS Nasookin ferried cars across the lake to Gray Creek. His relatives worked aboard the Anscomb, MV Balfour, and occasionally the SS Moyie — now a museum at Kaslo — when the Anscomb was out of service. May picked up nautical knowledge from his father and for a few years sold newspapers at Kootenay Bay, resulting in many trips on the Anscomb. “At Balfour, we experienced the daily movements of the SS Moyie, which we took for granted,” May says. “We thought it would be there forever.” Three years ago, he started creating his replica sternwheeler. A professional welder built the hull, and May had help on the hydraulic systems, but otherwise did most of the work himself. He’s mechanically-inclined and worked on wooden boats as a kid but had never built one from scratch.

Paul Shreenan 250.509.0920
Lacking plans, he relied on historic pictures plus advice from Dick Smith of Kaslo Shipyards. The Kootenay Star isn’t modelled on any specific boat, but incorporates features May liked in different ones. It’s the only operating sternwheeler on Kootenay Lake he’s aware of. The name is in keeping with the Kootenay Star cafe and mining museum he and wife Teresa own — in turn named for the Slocan Star, one of the region’s chief mines. The boat was assembled on the beach and made a splash during last year’s jazz festival, where it was moored in Kaslo Bay. May has since made several modifications. “I have two paddlewheels sideby-side that work alternately,” he explains. “I had them too close to the transom so when you tried to

back up or manoeuvre, instead of going under the hull, water was going under the transom.” Over the winter and spring, May moved the paddlewheel back, and added a couple of tanks for extra buoyancy. “Now it’s a lot better. I’m still doing tests so I’ve just been running around the Kaslo area. I want it to be totally safe before I get too far away.” May still has some bilge bumps to hook up and he’s putting in an auxiliary motor in case of power problems, but he’ll soon be offering rides to anyone interested. He can be reached at 250-353-2115 or at kaslobc@telus.net.

DEAL OF THE WEEK
ALS DEALS DE
Nelson and District Community Complex
Pool set to reopen early in August KIRSTEN HILDEBRAND Nelson Star Reporter
After a six-month closure, the Nelson and District Community Complex will reopen its aquatic centre on August 6, just in time for scheduled swimming lessons. People used to the aquatic centre full of water with a dark ceiling above would see a different scene today. A suspended ceiling made up of tiles across T-bar supports is gone. It was part of that system that fell into the pool on January 28 during an aqua fit class. No one was injured but the faulty supports prompted a fix at a
time when the Regional District of Central Kootenay was assessing the aging facility. Joe Chirico, the regional district’s general manager of community services, said he’s pleased with the way the ceiling looks after undergoing repairs. “It’s all coming together nicely,” he told 103.5 The Bridge. “You will see the open trusses which are all painted bright white and you’ll be able to see right to the roof. We’re hoping this opens up the space and makes it more aesthetically pleasing — bigger and less boxy. We’re anticipating it will be much brighter than it was before.”
There is still plenty to do before the reopen date, however. “The pool is still full of scaffolding,” said Chirico. Contractors are currently applying acoustic treatments to buffer sound, a task once handled by the drop ceiling tiles. The treatment is a spray that will barely be visible from the deck level of the pool. After the acoustic treatment is finished, new lighting will be installed followed by removal of the scaffolding that’s become a fixture during this period of construction. The massive structure should start coming down around July 20 and be com-
The BC Coroners Service has confirmed that a body recovered from Little Wilson Lake last week is that of Michael Lorne Guthrie of Trail. The body was found around 3 p.m. on July 9 by three men camping at the lake 38 kilometres north of New Denver. “That afternoon they saw a body floating in the water,” RCMP Sgt. Darryl Little told
103.5 The Bridge. While one man traveled into an area with cell coverage to call police, the other two secured a rope to the body and pulled it to shore. “Our members attended and removed the remains,” said Little. That day, RCMP notified Guthrie’s family that remains were recovered from the lake where the 32-year-old went missing in May. After turning the case over to the BC Coroners Service, which conducted an autopsy,
identification was confirmed Friday. RCMP originally attended the lake on May 26 when Guthrie did not resurface after his canoe capsized. His two fishing companions were able to swim to shore but Gurthrie was not. At that time, an extensive search occurred using divers with sonar equipment as the shoreline was monitored. The search was slated to resume this weekend as the family privately hired a search company to return

RCMP said there was nothing suspicious in the death. “There is no indication upon initial evaluation of the body that there was any foul play involved,” said Little. Little Wilson is a highaltitude lake and described as approximately 63 acres in size with an average depth of 39 feet. However, there are spots over 80 feet in depth.

De-Criminalization
BC marijuana vote gets green light Tom Fletcher Black Press
Elections BC has given approval in principle to marijuana activist Dana Larsen’s bid to lead a petition drive for de-criminalizing marijuana possession. Larsen has proposed that BC go around the federal law with a “Sensible Policing Act” that would disallow the use of BC police resources to prosecute simple possession of small amounts of pot by adults. This fall, Larsen will be allowed to begin collecting signatures in an effort to force an initiative vote similar to that used to reverse the harmonized sales tax. Individuals and groups have until August 12 to register with Elections BC to oppose the initiative, run ads for or against the petition or collect signatures. Larsen, who was involved with the BC Marijuana Party before seeking the leadership of the BC NDP in 2011, has worked for the last year to build support for what he calls Sensible BC. His organization will have 90 days from September 9 to collect signatures from 10 per cent

of registered provincial voters in each of BC’s 85 electoral districts. If that threshold is reached, Elections BC would hold a province-wide initiative vote, likely by mail as was done to repeal the HST. Decriminalizing pot has received mainstream support in recent years, including a narrow majority vote at the 2012 Union of BC Municipalities convention. In a debate at that convention in Victoria last September, former BC Liberal attorney general Geoff Plant advocated for loosening marijuana laws, as has since been done in the US states of Washington and Colorado. The idea was opposed by criminologist Darryl Plecas, who was elected BC Liberal MLA for Abbotsford South in the May provincial election. Larsen has had a colourful career, including editor of Vancouver-based Cannabis Culture magazine and co-founder of the Vancouver Seed Bank, which has sold seeds for marijuana, poppies, peyote and coca. Larsen resigned as an NDP candidate in the 2008 federal election, after videos surfaced showing his drug use a decade earlier.

Community Chiropractic Tragic Landslide
Johnsons Landing, one year later KIRSTEN HILDEBRAND Nelson Star Reporter
On the one-year anniversary of the slide that devastated Johnsons Landing, residents are still living with uncertainty, many unable to return home. The slide that claimed four lives and destroyed numerous homes and properties continues to have an impact in the community on the east side of Kootenay Lake. “A year later, we are still under emergency order concerning Johnsons Landing,” said Regional District of Central Kootenay chair John Kettle, expressing his continued sympathies on behalf of the regional government Friday. Added director Andy Shadrack, in whose area the tragedy occurred, “This has been a difficult year for those property owners, residents and the families affected by this devastating tragedy and we sympathize with their losses.” In the interest of public safety, and in line with the findings of a geotechnical report released in May, an evacuation order remains in place for much of the slide area. Twelve households are at a high or very high risk of another slide. Still, about a half dozen residents remain in the area, including Kate O’Keefe. She says the geotechnical report, indicating how instable the land still is — in some spots extremely unsound and dangerous — has people
anxious and uncertain. “It’s one of the worries of living here,” she told 103.5 The Bridge. “Those of us who are here are continuing to live here and our lives are somewhat normalized. We’re not living under a threat of immediate danger although we are cautious.”
“We know it’s time to get on with our lives, grow our gardens and do the other things we do.” Kate O’Keefe
Johnsons Landing Resident
This year’s heavy spring rains and their impact on Gar Creek — which became blocked prior to last year’s landslide — had people concerned. This year, Hamill Creek and Fry Creek ended up being more of a worry than Gar, which is running as it should during this time of year, O’Keefe said. Johnsons Landing residents are few and far between. While some have trekked up to check out the creek’s condition and report to authorities, O’Keefe said they would like a system to alert them should something be amiss with the large block of debris left behind after last year’s slide. “There is no monitoring system set up,” she said. “For us, it would be lovely to have something up there
The 1st Nelson Scouts
Would like to make a special thank you to the members of Nelson & District Credit Union for their financial support and for the outstanding discount, time and support from Valhalla Pure, its’ Nelson Store Owner Sam Baio and his friendly helpful staff. We have a group of 10 Scouts, 4 Pathfinders and 6 adult/leaders participating in a 5 day backpacking trek in Kokanee Glacier Park, called the Youthful Yeti Challenge. The trek includes a hike to the top of the Kokanee Glacier and Esmeralda Peak with Summit Mountain Guides. We could not do this adventure without the support from local businesses and the community. Along with Sam’s discounts on all the gear required, Nelson & District Credit Union has given us $1,500 to help us purchase the lightweight tents needed for the challenge. We look forward to sharing this gear with our fellow Scouters and Guiders over the years, as they take on their own adventures. Please call the 1st Nelson Scouts @ (250) 825-3450 if you are interested in Scouting or are able to support in anyway.
that would give us a signal if there was movement of that material, that big block that is up there. It may not move in our lifetime but it may and if it does come down, the worst case scenario would be huge.” There is no government money for that kind of monitoring and the cost would fall to residents via a surtax. “We would have to bear the brunt of the cost. Well, there are only a half dozen of us here and we can’t afford that,” O’Keefe said. For those wiped out, costs loom even larger. NelsonCreston MLA Michelle Mungall took compensation concerns to the legislature Thursday. She’d like the provincial government to work with the community on a buy-out plan. “Some Johnsons Landing residents lost everything, but still have to pay taxes on property they may never be able to set foot on again,” she said. Mungall directed her questions to Justice Minister Suzanne Anton who said over $1 million had already been spent at that location including nearly $600,000 in direct benefits to residents. The Liberals say no funds are available outside the Emergency Management BC program. “While the minister says that Emergency Management BC is doing everything they can, Emergency Management BC now needs leadership from this government,” Mungall said. “Will
the minister do the right thing and work with the community on a buyout plan?” Mungall pointed to Alberta and Manitoba governments, who responded to residents’ needs after flooding. Still, the RDCK’s Kettle calls the coordinated effort after the slide “nothing short of spectacular.” “Not everyone will be satisfied with the outcome of this situation,” he said. “It may require a change in legislation to address situations like this in the future. That being said, we continue to treat this horrible event with the respect and reverence it demands.” Back on the mountainside at Johnsons Landing, O’Keefe said “it gets easier over time.” “There are big issues we are still dealing with,” she said. “But we know it’s time to get on with our lives, grow our gardens and do the other things we do.” As more devastation by natural disasters occurred in the Kootenays and beyond this spring and summer, she knows public attention has been drawn away from her neighbourhood despite people still in need there. “Things like this don’t go away very quickly,” she said. The RDCK is in the process of examining the recommendations of the geotechnical report released in May and will make implementation plans in the coming months.

Get into the helmet habit
S
ummer means people ditching cars and getting two wheels out. Great for your health, and great for the environment, cycling is definitely something to be encouraged, but don’t forget, a helmet is not optional. Most people put a helmet on to go hit the trails, but many don’t think about it if they are just wheeling down to the grocery store or a friend’s place in town. But a helmet isn’t just for gnarly downhills. Pedaling around town means contending with traffic, and hitting the pavement can do a lot more damage than flying headfirst into bushes on Mountain Station. Helmets now come in all shapes and sizes. If you, or your child, don’t like wearing one because it is uncomfortable, try a few different ones until you find one that sits comfortably. Also, make sure it is worn properly. It needs to sit level on your head, with no more than one or two fingers’ width above the brow. The straps should form a “V” under each ear with the buckle centered under the chin. Lastly, when you open your mouth, the helmet should pull down. Don’t let your helmet sit tilted back on your head. That frontal lobe needs protection too. It should fit snugly. You should be able to shake your head back and forth without the helmet moving even before you strap it on. Also, keep in mind it is recommended that your helmet be changed every three to five years because of general wear and tear, or when the interior foam has deteriorated. Without this foam, the helmet can just smash into pieces if you hit the pavement. Most companies put the manufacturing date on the inside of each helmet so you can be sure. If in doubt, take it to one of the bike shops downtown so they can check it out and make sure it’s still safe. Encourage others to wear a helmet. Kids need to be shown that it is the normal thing to do and get in the habit of putting it on before they get on the bike; like a seatbelt as soon as they get in the car. - Fernie Free Press

Empty seats for political theatre
remier Christy Clark didn’t win a seat in time to join her 48 fellow BC Liberal MLAs in the legislature for the summer session she ordered up. By the time the byelection in Westside-Kelowna is certified by Elections BC, Clark will be off to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario to meet with her fellow premiers in what is now loftily called the Council of the Federation. These gatherings used to be called First Ministers’ Conferences, and there was a set ritual, largely designed for the consumption of network television. Provincial premiers ganged up on the prime minister to demand federal “funding” for every conceivable need, just as municipal leaders get together each year to present their demands to the BC government. Prime Minister Stephen Harper ended the show, declining to play the role of villain in this bit of political summer stock theatre, and it’s unlikely that any future national leader would reverse this prudent decision. The result, at least among western premiers, has been a quieter, more pragmatic effort to work together, rather than clumsy attempts to play a shell game with taxpayers’ pockets. The public got tired of this routine some time ago. I don’t need a poll to tell me this is one of the reasons for the decline in voter participation and engagement in issues. Today, politicians frequently remind themselves out loud that there is “only one

taxpayer” supporting the squabbling layers of this over-governed country. And yet, the same mistake keeps being made over and over by opposition politicians, and dutifully reported by the news media. The notion that all problems can and should be solved by “more government funding” is now so engrained in our education system that it seems inescapable. One of the NDP’s big “gotcha” items last week was the failure of the BC government to buy the latest sonar technology to locate and recover the bodies of people who have drowned in one of our thousands of lakes and rivers. As with the healthcare system, as soon as something is invented, some assume a right to it, regardless of cost. Another big opposition target was the province’s failure to buy up remote properties in the Kootenays that have been
discovered to be at high risk of further landslides such as the one that swept through a year ago. The question of limits for protecting people who choose to build homes in risky locations seldom comes up in our politicalmedia theatre. The media’s key ingredients are sympathetic victims to fit their narrative that all corporations and governments are greedy, stingy, callous and incompetent in everything they do. What the opposition has dubbed “Christy Clark’s wheelchair tax” is another case in point. A Fraser Health Authority official patiently explained what was really going on here. An average $35 monthly rent for wheelchairs is charged at the majority of care facilities, which are contracted by the health authority. Operators charge as they see fit for maintenance, disinfection and replacement of this equipment, for patients
who don’t own their own chairs. In September, a $25 fee is to be extended to the few facilities still directly run by Fraser Health, which have aging equipment and no fees. In all facilities, the fee is waived for those who can’t afford it. It would be useful for our politicians to frankly discuss the trend towards contracted health services, and the role of user fees in forcing people to take more responsibility for maintaining their own health. But that is not what happens. The narrative of dumping frail, impoverished seniors from their wheelchairs has no relationship to reality, but it’s how post-modern political theatre is done.

Purposes Regulations. Even my own research shows that medicinal marijuana grow operations in America that are under strict government rules, (like the Marijuana for Medicial Purposes Regulations) actually reduce crime in those areas because of
These properties have supported our entrepreneurial family and community for more than 50 years... the extensive security, not barbwire and electric fencing, but technology like motion sensor cameras and 24-hour monitoring. Unlike the old regulations, medical marijuana under the new regulations will be grown indoors only, under strict rules to protect neighbours and patients alike. No smells are allowed to leave the building and new production licences can be revoked. Pre-licence inspections for security, exhaust air quality, and electrical, among other things are mandatory. When those concerned “chose to live in this neighbourhood” there was a busy
landscaping/nursery business running in the very spot she wants to deny a quiet marijuana grow operation. There is a 2013 petition with 92 per cent support from all the neighbours down either side of the access to the highway — these are the neighbours that would be impacted with major traffic improvements, unlike the letter writer who has had and will get zero traffic and wouldn‘t even be able to see the building from their home. The North Shore couple would not even cut down a single tree making their existing building bigger. The couple have also given up most of the rights that AG4 zoning would give them including stables, kennels and farm animals to protect us from unlikely future owners, and have addressed every issue brought forward. Marijuana has defined the “spirit of the Kootenays” for decades. Now that it’s finally regulated properly, we need to embrace it and the jobs and tax revenue. We’ve read the new regulations. Are we governed by fear or facts? We’ll see on the 18th. Ken & Louise Sutherland Nelson
Dog bylaw hurts Nelson tourism I regularly visit this area to visit my family in the Slocan Valley. Today I was waiting for my daughter in the car with my dog. It was too hot for me, and therefore too hot for my dog, so I took her out on a short leash. As it turned out, my daughter needed to wait for a photo to be developed, so we decided to go window shopping. My dog was completely under control and not bothering anyone when a bylaw officer stopped and asked if I knew there was a bylaw against dogs downtown. I found that hard to believe. There are no such bylaws in any of the major cities I’ve been to or lived in. But apparently it’s the law in suppos-
edly laid-back Nelson. I asked the officer what would happen if I left my dog in the car and she died from

Are we governed by fear or facts? Re: Letter to the editor “A bad location for a grow-op (Nelson Star, Wednesday, July 10, 2013). As neighbours, family members and owners of the North Shore Water Utility, and being mentioned specifically in the paper, we felt that we could remain quiet no longer. These properties have supported our entrepreneurial family and community for more than 50 years with a multitude of commercial and industrial businesses, ranging from a gravel pit (20 jobs), to concrete plant (10 plus jobs) to the last business of landscaping (10 jobs). A potential medicinal marijuana grow operation would provide 10 plus year around jobs. The properties are over 35 acres, sloped, bordered at the top with crown land, not as one letter writer stated: “surrounded by homes.” In fact, the closest home to current buildings and proposed building site is over 100 feet away and over 50 vertical feet up the hill with forest between, enough space for the old concrete plant in fact. Security was another concern of mine, until I read the Marijuana for Medicial

for dogs to drink from. Since leaving my dog in the Valley isn’t an option, I guess I will be leaving both her and myself in the Valley when the weather is hot (most of the summer) and spending my money there rather than in Nelson. I understand now that there were real problems with the dogs when the bylaw was first passed, but it seems council took a sledgehammer to fix a problem that could have been fixed with a little tinkering. Go after the people whose dogs are causing problems, not the ones who keep theirs under control. Tia Leschke Sooke

The Nelson Sailing Club came to the aid of a boat in distress on Kootenay Lake just past the Orange Bridge on Thursday. Nelson Police deployed their boat in order to investigate after getting a distress call. “Once out on the lake, it was determined that the initial boat in distress had been assisted by the Nelson Sailing Club,” said a release issued by the Nelson Police Department. But in turn, the Nelson Sailing Club zodiac required assistance as it had developed motor issues. NPD towed the NSC boat to the City wharf. Once at the wharf, it was determined that the NPD boat was in trouble due to debris caught in the jet intake. The members of the Nelson Sailing Club then assisted NPD members in unclogging the jet intake so that NPD could resume marine patrols. “We would like to thank the Nelson Sailing Club for rendering assistance to the initial boat in distress then being on hand to assist NPD,” said the release.
Riondel boil notice downgraded
RIONDEL — The Regional District of Central Kootenay has downgraded the boil water notice on the Riondel water system to a water quality advisory. Recent testing shows the water quality is now fair due to seasonal high turbidity. While health risks are now considered low, the regional district and Interior Health recommend that children, the elderly, people with weakened immune systems, and anyone seeking additional protection continue to drink boiled water or a safe alternative until further notice.

ast weekend, the Civic Theatre had a case of monsters. Monsters University, the Disney Pixar film, drew hoards of little monsters, bigger monsters, and their families. I loved taking my own little monsters to summer films, a welcome respite during hot weather when the days were long and the sunscreen ran thin. The excitement as we settled into our seats in the dark theatre was palpable. Local film-lover and volunteer P’nina Shames recalls taking her son to his first movie on such a summer day. He became so excited at the prospect of seeing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles he choked on his popcorn, nearly necessitating the Heimlich maneuver. Close calls aside, the volume of Civic
Theatre stories I’ve received since starting this column tells me this simple family activity is a maker of good childhood memories. That’s what we had in mind when we responded to requests for a kid-centered movie, but showing Monsters University was a gamble. That’s because Disney’s strict distribution rules meant we could have Monsters, and Monsters only, all weekend long. No other film. Would there be enough little monsters to fill the seats? Apparently, yes. But plenty of people did ask, “Why one movie all weekend long?” Film studio distribution rules were never meant for independent single-screen theatres — one of many reasons our plan calls for three screens. Newer movies come with strict regs, and some distributors won’t Story continues to Page 11

allow another film to be shown during the film’s run. In this case, it was to be a Monster-only weekend. Luckily, a lot of families thanked us by bringing their own. To offer the best variety we can while we are operating with one screen, we’ll usually show movies a few weeks late (once the distribution rules have relaxed). That means be patient, Nelson! If you wait for it, it will come. And sometimes, we’ll just have to show one film, because coming up against film distributors can be like—well, like facing a hoard of teenaged mutant killer zombie ninja monsters. We’re happy to report two films slated for this weekend. World War Z, starring Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, and Daniella Kertesz involves monsters (zombies, really) for adults. Alongside, look for the heist flick Now You See Me, with Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, and Woody Harrelson. If we can tame those distribution monsters, down the road we’ll get The Heat, a popular summer flick with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy.
Thursday Night Films are indie flicks for the folks who prefer their movies with a different kind of tooth. This coming week, catch Before Midnight, a critically acclaimed romantic drama directed by Richard Linklater and starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. Popular review site Rotten Tomatoes gave this third installment of Linklater’s romantic saga, set in Greece and dealing with the complexities of love, five stars. The only monsters in this movie are the kind we create ourselves. Our goal of three theatres will mean variety, with lots of films to choose from, performance, and more. If it feels at times like a monster of a project, it’s continually tamed by the goodwill, generosity, and hard work of our supporters and volunteers. Anne DeGrace is the president of the Nelson Civic Theatre Society. Large Popcorn, Extra Butter runs every two weeks. If you have a memory to share please email anne@civictheatre. ca.

KEEP AN EYE OU T FOR THESE LIT TLE HOME WRECKERS Homeowners looking to prevent their homes from becoming a meal or nesting site for potentially harmful insects may know to keep watch for termites during the year. But termites aren’t the only insects that can damage a home. There are a few other pests that can bore through the wood of homes and structures, potentially causing considerable damage. People can familiarize themselves with these other wood-boring bugs and recognize the signs of infestation. * Carpenter ants: These insects get their name because they prefer to nest above ground in wooden structures. Unlike their smaller ant cousins, who make intricate colony systems underground, larger carpenter ants prefer tree stumps, lumber, subfloors, or even roofs. They don’t use the wood for food, and can establish residence in just about any solid housing material, including rigid foam insulation. * Powderpost beetles: Though termites might have the most name recognition, according to LivingWithBugs.com, powderpost beetles are potentially more destructive to seasoned wood. Wood boring powderpost beetles spend most of their lives as larvae (woodworms) in wood, where they tunnel in search of starch and other nutrients they need. They can cause all sorts of structural issues if they damage Samurai Hardwood Flooring beams and other major components to homes. nelSon’S Sand FiniSH/re-FiniSH SpecialiStS. * Carpenter bees: These large bees resemble West Kootenay’s premier suppliers & bumblebees, except they have a shiny black installers of solid hardwood, engineered abdomen instead of a furry one.

Did you know that lawns require only 3 cm of water, equal to about an hour of sprinkling, per week? The City of Nelson would like to remind residents to conserve water and is asking residents to: • Water every other day only. Premises with “even” numbered civic addresses may
sprinkle on “even” numbered days (ie: 2nd, 4th, 6th etc) and premises with “odd” numbered civic addresses may sprinkle on “odd” numbered days (ie: 1st, 3rd, 5th etc). • Water in the early morning, before 10:00 am, or early evening, after 6:00 pm. • Premises with underground sprinklers should have the system checked for leaks and the timer set to only give the lawn about one hour worth of water each week • Ensure that water does not over-spray onto sidewalks, driveways or roads. **City employees may speak with you or leave a note concerning water over use.
Water conservation tips and video’s are available to view on the City of Nelson’s website (under Public Notices) at www.nelson.ca. During the summer season, daily residential water use is 50% more than winter season consumption primarily because of lawn and garden watering, and car washing. Excessive water use during summer months draws down the reservoir level reducing storage capacity. Storage is required for firefighting purposes and for backup supply. The City of Nelson thanks “Water Smart” residents for their cooperation. For more information, please contact: Phone: 250-352-8238 email: publicworks@nelson.ca

MIRJA VAHALA
BARBARA BROWN
Mirja’s family is a maker of things, so creating art as a young child felt very natural to her. From the time she first saw a babysitter’s sketchbook and was inspired to draw, to her degree in graphic design and visual arts, artwork has marked the peaks and valleys of her life. After graduation, Mirja worked for a publication company before establishing, then selling after 15 years, her own design company. It was with joy, and some angst, that she began the journey of being a full-time fine artist and instructor. Drawn to nature and the great outdoors, she and her husband made the trek from BC’s Lower Mainland to the Kootenays to establish the Mirja Vahala Art Studio and Windborne B&B in 2007. The visuals of wilderness, mountains and waterways, plus the coastal ocean and forests of her earlier life have a definite influence on the evolution of her artwork.
Mirja’s work can be seen at Craft Connection during ArtWalk, on now until August 31
Born in northern Saskatchewan, Barbara has lived in many places throughout Canada, from the West Coast to Ontario, the Prairies and the Cariboo. In 1988 she moved to the Slocan Valley where she has found home in the forest in the mountains. Barbara went to school at the University of Victoria earning a BSc in Geography, and then at Malaspina College in Nanaimo getting a Diploma of Fine Arts in 1985. Since then she has been self-employed as a cartographer and commercial artist. For the last 20 years she produced the local tourist maps — the West Kootenay Vacation Guide Map, the Nelson & Area Map & Guide, and the Castlegar & Area Map – but sold that part of her business last year (to Manon of Design On The Go in Kaslo) to free herself up to pursue new creative endeavours. She is now returning to her first love — painting and drawing — and is excited herself to see how her work will unfold.

Requiem for a Glacier
Musicians prepare for glacier audience SUBMITTED Special to the Nelson Star
Rehearsals are now in full swing in both Kaslo and Nelson as singers and musicians from across the region prepare for the performance of a lifetime. Later this month, 70 professional and amateur musicians will play a command performance before an audience of one — a Glacier. Requiem for a Glacier is a four-movement oratorio composed by Victoriabased artist Paul Walde, whose work explores the interconnectedness between landscape, identity and technology. The performance has been conceived for the glacier alone; there will be no audience, other than those contributing to the presentation. Organizers of the event have launched an Indiegogo campaign to help fund this ambitious project. Donations made to the
campaign will offset the costs associated with staging the event. Later this month a public performance of the requiem in Nelson will also raise funds. To bring such a large-scale work to fruition, Walde is collaborating with a team of roughly 100 people. In addition to the 40-person choir and the 30-person orchestra, there will be a conductor, a soloist, mountaineers, a film crew, writers, journalists and photographers in attendance. Walde and arts curator Kiara Lynch’s recent call for musicians and volunteers was met with overwhelming support by Kootenay residents. “The community response has been enormous, and we hope the response to the Indiegogo campaign will be just as strong,” says Lynch. “I strongly believe that the arts are one of the most powerful tools available to
us to respond to issues of concern to our society.” Karen Behn, Stephanie Judy and Jeff Faragher have taken on the role of coordinating choir and musician rehearsals. Faragher, who is both a cellist and artistic director of the Symphony of the Kootenays, expects the musicians will face some new challenges with this performance. “I’ve played lots of gigs outside, but playing on a glacier is especially challenging. The sound just goes – there’s no feedback. And while the environment is inspiring to an artist, it’s not like playing in a concert hall with engineered acoustics. And of course there are the logistical challenges of getting such a large group of people and instruments up there.” Just how will Faragher get his cello onto the glacier? “I’ve got a soft case which I’ll strap to my back. And then I’ll just hike it in,” he says.
“There’s a whole team in charge of safety, mountaineering and transportation logistics,” adds Lynch. “We have two ACMG mountain guides overseeing the hike into and out of the glacier, and many strong hands to ferry the instruments, which include five cellos and a tympani drum.” All of the musicians will gather in Nelson for a three-day workshop during the last week of July under the direction of Ajtony Csaba, conductor of the University of Victoria Symphony Orchestra and Central European Chamber orchestra. A public performance of the requiem will take place at the Nelson United Church on the evening of Thursday, July 25, at 6:30 and 8:30 pm which will also act as a fundraiser for the project. For more information, and to make a donation, please visit indiegogo.com and search for Requiem for a Glacier.
