Grader operator suspected of impaired driving Staff writer West Kootenay Advertiser

A man in control of an 18,000 pound piece of machinery in the area near Rosebery got himself in a bit of a scrape when Slocan Lake RCMP curbed his ride.

Police, according to a press release by Cst. A. Van Hussen, responded just after noon last Wednesday to a complaint of a road grader driving erratically on Wilson Creek Forest Road. There was concern that the man driving

the big machine, a Castlegar area resident, was either having medical issues, or was drunk. The 51-year-old operator was apprehended by police and it was determined that he had been consuming alcohol.

He failed to provide a breath sample and was issued and immediate driving prohibition. His drivers license was suspended for 90 days and the grader impounded for 30 days. Police thanked the caller who had

RECALL AND INITIATIVE ACT

Approval in principle has been granted on an application for an initiative petition. The petition will be issued to proponent Dana Larsen on Monday, September 9, 2013 and signature sheets must be submitted to the Chief Electoral Officer by Monday, December 9, 2013. The Title of the Initiative is: An initiative to amend the Police Act. Summary of Initiative: The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make non-lawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

Through the Walls of Time

Community of Brandon was once a rival to Slocan City GREG NESTEROFF West Kootenay Advertiser

Twentieth in a primarily alphabetical series on West Kootenay/Boundary place names The Slocan City suburb of Brandon takes its name from its founder, William Henry Brandon (1857-fl. 1928), who came to New Denver from Ontario in the spring of 1892. An experienced prospector, he held many claims, one of which resulted in his arrest in Guelph in 1894 on charges of embezzlement and conspiracy. He was alleged to have misappropriated funds belonging to his backers. However, a sympathetic story in the Nelson Tribune suggested it was all a misunderstanding, and upon his return to the area, “He had no difficulty whatever in convincing his friends both here and at Guelph that his mining partners were a little too hasty in bringing an action against him.” It’s not clear how the case was resolved. The earliest mention

of Brandon’s namesake neighbourhood was in the Nelson Miner of August 15, 1896, which stated that “The Two Friends and Howard Fraction have ore at Brandon ready for shipment to the smelter.” But it took until October 3 for the paper to clarify that Brandon and Slocan City were both at the foot of Slocan Lake. A post office application was filed on July 28,

Slocan en masse. Despite this, a second post office application was submitted on April 24, 1897 and this time the inspector recommended approval. “The distance is fully a mile between the post office at Slocan City and the site of the proposed office at Brandon,” he wrote, though it was actually a lot closer. “There is a natural division between the two towns, which gives

each a separate and distinct character … The establishment of a post office at Brandon will be a great convenience to the residents there.” However, it never opened. Alfred Driscoll surveyed the Brandon townsite and deposited the plan with the land registry on October 3, 1898. It consisted of 11 blocks with two avenues, Park and Arlington, and three streets, Springer, Finch, and Falls. By 1902, 134 lots remained unsold and Nelson mayor/realtor/ newspaper publisher John Houston was instructed to sell them off cheap, along with an unplatted portion of 50 to 60 acres. While many overtures were made to amalgamate Slocan and Brandon, it never happened. Today you would hardly guess that Brandon is outside village limits but for the fact its streets have its name in parenthesis. By 1928, William Brandon lived in Winnipeg. His brother Daniel (1856fl. 1911) built and operated the Selkirk Hotel in Silverton.

sheri regnier West Kootenay Advertiser

Trail residents may soon see improvements in the entrance to the downtown corridor as the city has slated construction to begin later this month. The city has awarded a local company, Maglio Installations, to begin construction on the Victoria Street Corridor project once necessary Ministry of Transportation (MOT) permits are approved. The total contract cost is $1.6 million with the Nelson general contracting company receiving $1.4 million for the first phase of construction. The realm of the work on the Gateway project will involve extensive infrastructure improvements along Victoria Street, which include: new curbs and drainage; sidewalk resurfacing and realignment; bump outs; improved pedestrian crossings; and centre medians delineated for future planting.

A crew will be on site between the hours of 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. to allow parts of the job that can’t be completed during the hotter hours of the day, she added. The city’s goal is to wrap up the construction phase of the project by the fall of 2013, at which time the MOT is set to begin repaving Victoria Street. The remainder of

the costs earmarked for the second phase of the project, has been awarded to HilTech Construction, and includes the supply and installation of gateway features at Bay, Pine and Cedar avenues. After a series of setbacks the last few years. the Victoria Street Corridor project remained a top priority for Trail council when planning the 2013 budget. At a February meeting, Coun. Rick Georgetti presented the governance and operations committee(GOC) report,

which confirmed that council approved $1.1 million in its 2013 Capital Budget to proceed with the work. Earlier that month, city staff partook in a conference call with the project’s design firm, MMM Group, to discuss the status of the project. The firm’s report states that the design elements will have a traffic calming effect which will slow traffic through the city and also improve traffic and pedestrian safety.

Finance Reaching the milestone of passing on the family vacation property Ah, summer, gotta love it – good times, barbecues, swimming, boating and spending fun-filled times at our recreational properties. For many families, the vacation property evokes fond memories of days gone by and strong sentimental attachments. These feelings can often make it very difficult for the owners to decide about the future use and ownership of the property. It can make for stressful moments, especially when the options aren’t known and the implications are unclear. Where there is a desire to pass on the vacation property to future generations, many questions often arise about the different transfer options that might be available. It’s one thing to own recreational property here in Canada but, owning a vacation property situated outside of Canada may give rise to other issues. For example, property situated in the U.S. may be subject to U.S. estate tax. Professional advice should be obtained from advisors in the country where the property is located. In addition to tax issues, owners should consider having a will and power of attorney prepared in accordance with the laws of the country where the property is located. One of the primary decisions that should be made is wheth-

er the transfer of the vacation property to children should take place during your lifetime or whether it should be dealt with only on death. Here are some options worth considering: 1) Transfer options may include gifting the vacation property outright to one or more children during your lifetime. This might be considered if the vacation property is to pass to the children eventually in any event. It could also benefit you if there is a wish to have the children more involved in the maintenance of the vacation property. 2) Joint ownership of property can, in some circumstances, be a useful estate planning technique. With this option, the parents would transfer a joint interest in the vacation property to the children so that the parents and children own the vacation property jointly. 3) Another option is to the sell the vacation property to the children if it is going to be passed to them anyways. Perhaps the parents need or want the proceeds of the sale for their own living expenses now or for other purposes. 4) Transferring the vacation

5) Rather than transferring the vacation property during your lifetime, you may wish to make a specific gift of your vacation property to your children in your will. You may wish to retain ownership until after you pass away. 6) Another option is to state in your will that the vacation property is to be offered for sale to one or more of your children. The issues or concerns with this could be disagreements if more than one child wishes to purchase the property. There will need to be a mechanism for determining the purchase price and payment terms which are fair to all family members, including a provision for equalization payments, if appropriate.

Debbie Perepolkin

Life Matters property to a “lifetime trust” with the children named as beneficiaries. This may be an option especially when the parents wish to maintain some control over the property (including the ability to continue using the property during their lifetime). The terms of the trust agreement can be drafted in order to protect the interests and concerns of the parents while alive.

7) Rather than an outright transfer, another possibility is to use a trust in your will (a testamentary trust) to hold the vacation property. When a vacation property is transferred to a trust, the trust becomes the legal owner of the property. Because the trust would own the vacation property, future increases in the value of the property would accumulate within the trust. However, a trust is considered to have disposed of its property at fair market value on the 21st anni-

versary of the creation of the trust. As a result, there would be capital gains owing at that time or earlier, if it is wound up prior to that point. As you can see, this is hardly a one-size-fits-all solution as there are various options that might work. But with each choice, there are myriad tax implications, probate issues and other factors to consider. This decision should not be taken lightly. Open and honest family discussions should take place first simply to get a sense of what the next generation may be thinking. With all that in mind, further discussions with your wealth and estate planner are vital. It may be necessary to approach this with a team of advisors including your accountant and lawyer as well. Everyone wants those special summer-time memories to continue for many years to come. Planning now, can ensure that your wishes are fulfilled and estate hassles are kept to a minimum.

Nelson area roads and ferries are ALL operating as usual SUBMITTED

Nelson Kootenay Lake is open for business, with markets, festivals, and more on the agenda for you to enjoy. The roads are open and ferries are in full swing, so come and find out why most visitors never want to leave. July 10, 2013 --- Nelson Kootenay Lake Tourism is assuring tourists that all roads and ferries are operating as usual, and the area is ready to welcome visitors for the peak summer season. Calgary, Canmore and surrounding communities experienced the worst floods in decades last month, forcing tens of thousands from their homes. A state of emergency was declared in Alberta and dozens of roads and bridges were closed or washed away, including several major highways. Banff was also hit hard, but most highways including the TransCanada from the west, have since re-opened. Food and fuel supplies have also been restored. Financial aid and support is pouring in as recovery efforts continue in Alberta. But with much confusion surrounding road accessibility in the broader region, Nelson Kootenay Lake Tourism Executive Director Dianna Ducs is assuring visitors that the Nelson Kootenay Lake region is open for business. “I have received many inquiries from visitors who are under the impression that we are not accessible. We were not significantly affected by

heavy rainfall and are operating as usual,” Ducs says. “We want to emphasize that the roads are open, ferries are running to full capacity, and we are ready to welcome visitors for the summer season.” The Nelson-Nelway Highway is open in all directions and remains in a good condition west to Castlegar and south towards Salmo on Highway 6. The 3A Highway to Balfour is also operating as usual and Highway 31 is now clear up to Lardeau and beyond. Traffic is also operating as normal on the Salmo Creston Pass along Highway 3. In addition, all local ferries are operating as usual, including the Galena Bay Ferry from Revelstoke via Highway 23 and the Fauquier Ferry which connects travelers from Vernon via Highway 6. The Kootenay Lake Ferry is also operating its summer schedule until Labour Day, offering 15 daily departures on board the M.V Osprey and M.V Balfour. Passengers can board the 35 minute service for free with cars, trucks and bicycles all year round. With a packed calendar of events this season, Ms Ducs says summer is an ideal time to visit Nelson Kootenay Lake and experience what the region has to offer. “There is so much going on over the summer, including Artwalk, the internationally renowned Kaslo Jazz Festival and the Fat Tire Fest. It’s also market season and the Baker Street Market Fest is return-

ing to Nelson each month over the summer. Now is a great time to come and experience the warm weather and unique culture of Nelson Kootenay Lake,” Ms Ducs says. More than 1000 visitors are expected to attend this year’s Kaslo Jazz Festival, with an impressive line-up of jazz, blues and soul musicians to take to the stage over the August long weekend (August 2-4).

Community Bronze finish for Grand Forks bodybuilder take place in New Westminster on Aug. 17. “It was a hard decision because I could have supported my own province while being in my province,” Witwicki said.

ALESHA STARCHUK WKA Contributor

Sharona Witwicki has been bodybuilding for close to three years and is gaining more prominence, most recently placing third at the BC Amateur Bodybuilding Association (BCABBA) provincials. Witwicki, who works at the local Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce branch by day, was up against 300 competitors at the Massey Theatre in New Westminster, B.C. on June 22. “The provincials are very high calibre and everyone brought their A game,” Witwicki explained, adding that judges stated they normally choose the topfive very easily and that was not the case this year. In the next two years, she can compete at the na-

tionals but Witwicki, along with her coaches Al and Nancy Clark decided to wait a year for the big test even though the 2013 Bikini, Figure, Fitness and Physique Championships also

“It was a hard decision (skipping nationals) because I could have supported my own province...” Sharona Witwicki However, she is attending the high profile event this year to watch and Witwicki said it is important to go and take in the spectacle. This way when she can get an opportunity to see what the judges are looking for, she will have a better

idea on what to change for next year. The focussed and determined cometitor indicates that when she does eventually compete she is “going in to win” and placing in nationals is very important for a bodybuilder because it is a way to advance in the sport. Placing at the nationals would mean that Witwicki would qualify for her procard, which would then allow her to compete on an international level as an International Federation of Body Building (IFBB) and fitness pro. Witwicki is especially grateful to her coaches Al and Nancy Clark of BodyEdge Fitness for helping her with her training. “There’s just no way I could have got where I am without their help,” Witwicki went on to say.

Submitted

Selkirk nursing graduate, Kara Sundberg, recently won the University of Victoria (UVic) Faculty of Human and Social Development Award of Distinction for the highest grade point average (GPA) of all graduates in the faculty. Sundberg’s GPA was not only the highest in her nursing program, it was the highest in the faculty, which included students from seven other programs. “I feel honoured to have won this award, especially among so many great students in my graduating class,” she said. Sundberg lives in Crescent Valley and chose to attend Selkirk’s nursing program because she had the option to stay closer to home while obtaining her degree from UVic. “It was very important for me to have the option to study at Selkirk and stay close to home,” she said. “I don’t think I would have gone back to school if the option wasn’t available.” She earned her first degree from UVic in biology and began working in forestry and fisheries, but developed an interest in human physiology,

which led her to nursing. Nursing seem a great fit for Sundberg and she has been described by her senior instructors as quietly accomplished and humble, offering serene care for others, especially those who are marginalized in society. “Kara is very supportive of people in need, whether it’s been another student in her class, clients and patients, or those living on the fringe,” said Ruth Dubois, nursing program coordinator and one of Kara’s instructors. “Along with her academic excellence, she has always valued helping people and has focused on holistic and collaborative ways to do that.” Sundeberg’s experience at Selkirk was

positive and supportive. “The instructors were incredibly personable and supportive, and the small class size and diversity of practicum experiences provided me with a great learning environment,” she said. “I also wanted to get involved in my community and thought nursing was a good fit for this.” She is now working as a nurse on a medical unit at Kootenay Lake Hospital in Nelson and her plans are to pursue a career in Nelson or the surrounding area. “This is my community and this is where I hope to remain,” said Sundberg. “I hope to gain as much experience as I can over the next year or two and eventually

This is one of those moments where it is appropriate to look down at someone’s breasts. The latest instalment of Busted–raising awareness around breast health issues and cancer – is back in the West Kootenay at the Esprit de la Femme this summer. Although the show is staged in Nelson, the breast bust subject models and their respective artists come from across the West Kootenay region. There are 16 plaster busts of 16 women—ranging in age from teens to seventies—professionally and artfully designed by 16 Kootenay artists. The show that began as one woman’s homage to her mother’s battle with breast cancer has come back to where it started. Show curator, artist, model and visionary Safire Jones said, after raising over $2,000 from the first show last year, there needed to be a second one. “It’s been an amazing journey and experience sharing heart warming stories with all of these women,” she said about the show’s continuing odyssey. “This has been such a fulfilling project that has now again come to fruition.” It’s the body form

Safire Jones is auctioning off a collection of painted busts done by West Kootenay artists as a fundraiser for Willow and the Kootenay Lake Hospital. Della Schafer

as art and Art on the body when the aesthetics of 16 busts lavished with artistic inspiration deliver the message of understanding who your breast friends are. “You need to know your breasts,” said Jones, also one of the featured artists. “This show is to remind people to take the matters of breast health into their own hands.” The slate of artists includes Rabia, Nicole Rose, Bubzee, Avrell Fox, Sydney Evans, Kelly Shpeley, Della Schafer, Jessica Tessier, Robyn Gold, Lada Love, Alana Cronshaw, Jody Deverney, Connie Cocolala, Donna Ramsay, Cindy Moser and Safire Jones. The show was inspired by Jones’ mother, Lyn, 63, who died from breast cancer in ChristChurch, New Zealand, two years ago. She went through chemotherapy, a mastectomy radiation therapy, and hormone therapy,

but succumbed to the disease less than one year and a half after diagnosis. The show contains information from Willow, a support network for people living with a diagnosis of breast cancer, on breast examinations and breast health. Proceeds from the auction of the busts at the end of the show in September will again be split between Willow and something beautiful for the oncology ward (cancer treatment) at Kootenay Lake Hospital. Willow is a support network for people living with a diagnosis of cancer, as well as those who are touched by the disease through a loved one, making sure no one faces cancer alone. The organization (www.willow. org) helps people across the country with a wide range of supports, including peer counselling, self examination information, alternative and traditional treatments, a huge resource centre and links to other helpful organizations. The pieces can be viewed in Nelson at Esprit de la Femme on Baker Street, as well as online at www. safirejones.com. For more information on the show, contact Safire Jones at 551-2799.

Arts & Culture Everyone – even a misunderstood monster, has their nice side

Thursday, July 18, 2013 West Kootenay Advertiser

SUBMITTED

A visit to an art gallery is meant to be an experience that will inspire, stimulate and sometimes challenge the viewer. The next exhibition opening at the Kootenay Gallery on July 26 will certainly do just that. Miscreants - Mischievous and Defiant is an exhibition of work by Denman Island artist Scot Bullick. The exhibition includes two dimen-

sional pieces created in paint, crayon, pencil and three dimensional pieces carved in stone, cast in bronze and even felted in wool. But always relating to a common theme: monsters. Bullick’s miscreants, or monsters, whether modeled and cast, carved, or created from found or discarded materials, move between villainous and friendly, and often times are misunderstood.

Robusters represent Kootenays – paddling in Lethbridge, AB

submitted

The Kootenay Robusters Dragon Boat Team recently competed in the recreational women’s division of the Lethbridge Dragon Boat Festival. The event was held at Henderson Lake on July 5, 6 and 7. Since launching their dragon boat at the beginning of May, the team, with members from Trail, Rossland, Grand Forks, Christina Lake and Castlegar, has been paddling three times a week under the direction of coach Trish Ostlund, to get ready

for this early season challenge. In total, 16 women’s teams raced each other for top honours, competing in four heats to determine placement. By the end of the tournament, the Robusters had taken first place in the A division consolation round. Considering that the top four teams who took part in the A division medal round were youthful amazons, the Robusters (whose average age is 60) were quite pleased with their results – placing fifth overall. Most dragon boat festi-

vals hold a special race for breast cancer survivors, since so many women’s teams have been organized to provide emotional and physical support to survivors and to raise awareness in communities across the world. For this race, the Robusters blended with a team from Cranbrook, Abreast in the Rockies, since neither team had enough survivors to compete on their own. Despite never having paddled together before, the combined group managed a second place finish, only one second be-

Kootenay Robusters Dragon Boat team has been working hard since starting their season in early May. Dave Grant

hind the winning team. The Robusters are now taking a break for three weeks and will be starting their practices again early in August – with a plan to compete in the Penticton Dragon Boat Festival in early September. Before starting up again, the Robusters would like to recruit more paddlers, inviting any woman interested in dragon boating to come for a paddle. The team welcomes breast cancer survivors and those who wish to paddle as supporters. For more information please contact 365-5953.

Castlegar artist is national number 1 Jim sinclair WKA Editor

Verna Chernoff has plenty to smile about. For one thing, her multi-month project which contains close to 5,000 pieces is complete, and for another, it has been judged numero uno by a panel of experts in the field of quilting. In fact, at last month’s Canadian

Quilters’ Guild annual event, held in Penticton, Chernoff ’s “Arabian Nights” earned First Place, the Award of Excellence in the Canadian Juried Quilt Show. Hundreds of entries from all across Canada and several U.S. states were part of the show. “My goal is to get out of my pajamas before my husband gets home from

work,” said Chernoff of her normal quilting timetable. The winning effort took her “four or five months.” The number of hours was not exactly stated. “Any chance I get, I work on the quilt,” she said. “It’s an addiction that I have. I’m always in my sewing room, quilting up something.” Of the many submissions there were

92 quilts to make the cut and be selected to be a part of the juried portion. After close scrutiny the judges chose “Arabian Nights” number one. “This was the biggest piece in the show,” said Chernoff. Although financial considerations are not what motivates her, she did accept the $750 that came as part of the Award of Excellence.

Make Your Home Safe for Independent Living Are you a low-income senior or a person with a disability who wants to live safely and independently in the comfort of your home? Do you have difficulty performing day-to-day activities? Does your home need to be adapted to meet your changing needs? If so, you may be eligible for financial assistance under the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program. Find out today if you are eligible and if you meet all of the requirements as a low-income homeowner or as a landlord applying on behalf of an eligible tenant.

To apply or learn more, visit www.bchousing.org/HAFI You can also contact BC Housing: Phone: 604-646-7055 Toll-free: 1-800-407-7757 (ext. 7055)

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities. Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently. Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in. Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats. Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help. Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

Sculpture Talk

2012

Welcome to our regular feature introducing the artists behind the sculptures in this year’s Castlegar SculptureWalk. somewhat atypical for Castlegar Sculpturewalk – they intend to construct their monolithic piece ‘In Between’ mere days before the event launches.

“We see it as an interactive conversation between us, albeit one taking place in three dimensions,” says Johnston. “Process drives both of us, so we’ve got this back and forth that carries on artistically. Instead of words, Shayne and I will be conversing using form, space and materials starting from opposite sides of an envisioned arch. It opens up many possibilities. Will there be symmetry and congruousness, or will the end result of the ‘conversation’ be dramatic, apparent difference?” In terms of sheer size, Johnston and Brandel’s piece will be the largest installation on display at this year’s Sculpturewalk. Arguably, it will be one of the most unorthodox sculptures, particularly given the installation process. It is also the only sculpture consisting mainly of 2 X 4’s in this year’s event, so it boast a number of unique traits already. But the question nearly everyone who sees it will ask is this: “What exactly does it depict?”

Ian Johnston & Shayne Brandel

‘In Between’ is less about the end result than the ongoing process,” says Brandel. “On some level, I think the goal for most artists is to represent reality, however subjective that may be. My personal interest in that representation lies within the ongoing fragmentation of reality, the process of the physical, and the ephemeral quality in which we take it all in. Objects, surfaces and forces we interact with are in a constant state of opposition.” “ This is two individuals starting from potentially dissimilar perspectives and seeing where conversing through the creative process takes them,” adds Johnston. “The middle of the piece will be the common point. Beyond that, who knows?”

‘A Band of Ravens’ captures the group of tricksters in beautiful detail and full flight, spreading as they descend from a slightly elevated single line. Here he has seven of them wheeling down in tight formation, wings at various angles as they branch off. Each bird is beautifully styled and collectively the work flows impressively. McKinnon captures the notion of density but each bird is positioned so appropriately that the overall effect is dramatic, cohesive and beautifully balanced.

work has had that specific focus – they have ensured all the wood making up their ‘conversation’ will be re-used. Johnston’s background is architectural. He studied at Carleton University in Ottawa and also spent time at the prestigious Bauhaus Dessau Foundation Kolleg co-developing and implementing group idea processes. He is acclaimed for his extravagant, multi-installation works exploring refuse and consumption. Whether using ceramic multiples of plastic bags or re-visioned light bulbs (The Antechamber: Between the Lines (Georgia) from Re-Inventing Consumption: 2010-2013), boxes, and cell phones (Cellular Brick Road from Refuse Culture: 2007-2010 is sinuous and stunning) his art is large, provocative and profound. Brandel studied sculpture and drawing in Kelowna at the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus while pursuing painting on his own time. The intriguing, progressive Silence: Day 13 to Day 99 is a spectral, gray-dominated series that displays his diversity and vision. Lately, he has re-focused on sculpture in stimulating installations using puzzle pieces (Jig is Up) or playing cards (What’s the Angle) as central components carefully juxtaposed with other everyday objects. Both based in Nelson, Brandel and Johnston are innovative, avant-garde artists whose creative thought processes and vision often parallel – inviting their collaborative effort. ‘In Between’ promotes marrying their process-driven creativity in an exploratory way. We’ll find out how it worked, post-‘conversation’ as it were.

Horoscope Michael O’Connor

for the

Week

July 18, 2013

Tip of the Week: A powerful line-up of planetary alignments is the celestial backdrop ‘synchronizing’ with world events now. On July 14th Mars entered Cancer where it traditionally proves to cut, carve and renovate with a sharp edge. On July 17th Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune formed an exact Grand Trine (each planet exactly 120 degrees apart) in the three Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces respectively. Together these indicate deep change and transformation (Saturn in Scorpio) with mass spiritual implications (Neptune in Pisces) activated by huge events and both the source of and the consequence of big and widespread emotional sentiments (Jupiter in Cancer). Next on July 20th, the day Mercury in Cancer turns Direct, Mars will take its turn completing the Grand Trine in Water with Saturn and Neptune. Then, on July 22 under the light of the Full Moon in Aquarius on the first day of the Sun’s cycle in Leo, Mars will conjunct Jupiter in Cancer reinforcing this Water Grand Trine alignment. Mars will heat things up that much more on July 27th when it forms an exact Opposition to Pluto on the same day that the Moon forms a Conjunction with Uranus and then will actually form a Square to Uranus on July 31, thereby reinforcing the lingering and potent Square aspect between Uranus and Pluto. Thus, Mars will weave the Water Grand Trine with the Uranus/ Pluto Square. The manifestation of this weave of dynamic planetary energies stands to be at least a continuation of the social and political hotspots on the planet such as Syria, Egypt and Brazil, and probably an inflation of these and the ignition of others yet. These powerful activations will continue through August and every month for the rest of the year culminating with Comet Ison which is scheduled to come into view as early as late November. I will elaborate on the July events next week and bring even more attention to the big August activations in the weeks to come. Stay tuned!

You are in the mood to express yourself deeply and in a big way. Rearranging furniture and artifacts to produce a new feel in the atmosphere will contend with outright renovations. Balancing dramatic flair spurred by irrupting intuition with a more practical approach will become evident this week. Think twice pay once.

Many creative ideas are flowing strongly now. The planetary alignments are supporting you to tend to a variety of interests, to cover a lot of ground. Producing works of beauty feels important. Your ability to share these with others for profit and/or as an end in themselves is leading you to refine your skills. A commitment to originality is moving you to merge your talents with those of others.

Making changes to be healthier is more than just on your mind. What aspect of health, depends on you. It could be physical, mental, emotional, and/or financial and so on. To succeed you may need to outsource, to get tips, guidelines and outright training. Since health is beautiful and feels so good, let these rewards inspire you to action.

Making key moves and initiatives to advance your overall position is driving you onward. Supported by an extra sharp focus, you want to achieve a lot quickly. You feel the power and want more of it. This will make you shine brighter and get noticed more over the next several weeks. Aim for an expansion of your whole life. Just be careful of over inflation.

A good deal of activity behind the scenes is keeping you busy now. You are in a deep process of facing fears to lay claim to hidden gifts. A steady learning curve is implied and you should already be engaged. You are destined to see a bigger picture and with greater clarity. Be patient and steadfast. The flowers may already be apparent but it may take a year to bear real fruit.

Taking new leads and directions is an important theme for you these days. Doing so is directly linked to expanding your network and increasing your exposure. Refining your skills and increasing your income is a braided theme. These are activating your creative inventiveness and deepening your overall scope of awareness.

G A M E S

Things are shaking and you are paying attention and getting noticed. For the sake of love, family, friendship and perhaps reputation you feel motivated to act. With emotions running high you feel moved in an unprecedented way. This is producing waves of change in your closest relationships. The drama will increase as the Moon waxes to full.

Who are you? This question is ringing in your mind as you reflect upon yourself and your life, the roads you have travelled, your experiences and regarding what to do next. A few quick glances back in time are outweighed by future visions. Dreams to be and do bigger and better than ever are giving you reason to feel excited.

Old priorities, values, attitudes and their consequent influence of your choices are all changing now. This process will take a while yet to unfold, up to 2-3 years in fact. In the short term, simply clearing and cleaning where and how you can, will feel good. This is a time of ending, completion and closure. Honor this process yet cast a glance at the renewal to follow.

A big activation of some of your closest relationships is center stage now. Choosing your words carefully is extra important, as is how you express your feelings. Moderation is the golden rule - neither too little nor too much. Meanwhile, your world is opening up and this will contribute to a whole new state of balance.

You are steadily entering new territory. Whether for financial necessity, profit, new priorities and/or interests you are moved to take those important initial steps. These include calculated risks. A change of attitude and perspective at least and possibly even a measurable shift in your overall lifestyle is implied.

An exciting creative cycle has begun for you. Yet, to succeed you will have to give to the situation whole heartedly; half measures or partial focus will not do. However, do allow for some diversity in your focus. A rather large learning curve process requiring long term commitment is featured. Be willing to learn from others who can train and guide you.

Consumer Caution

Emergency scams rise with summer travel

Better Business Bureau

Contributed

“Hi, Gram, I need your help and you have to promise not to tell Mom and Dad. I got arrested in Mexico and I need $2,000 bail money...” “Grandpa, I’m in London with my college roommate. You remember Carol? We were robbed last night in a pub and now I have no money to get home.” Consumer scams are a serious problem in Canada, and this is one of the most common: the Emergency Scam, where the scammer poses as a friend or family member in trouble, often overseas, and requests that money be sent. It’s sometimes called the Grandparent Scam because seniors are often targeted by scammers pretending to be grandchildren. During the summer travel season, there is an increased potential for Emergency or Grandparent Scams to occur. More people are traveling, and whenever people are vulnerable, fraudsters will generally attack. Emergency scams play off people’s emotions and strong desire to help others in need. Scammers impersonate their victims’ loved ones, often using information they’ve picked up on social media, and make up an urgent situation - I’ve been arrested,

I’ve been mugged, I’m in the hospital. The scammer makes an urgent plea for help...and money. In most cases, the scammer asks for money to be wired immediately. The victim often responds quickly and without checking first to see if the pleading voice on the other end of the phone really is their grandchild or other loved one. Better Business Bureau offers the following tips to protect consumers from Emergency Scams during the summer travel season:

TRADE

SUMMER CLEARANCE EVENT

WEEKLY‡

THAT’S IT. THAT’S ALL. THAT’S RIGHT.

• Do not wire money to a stranger you have not met in person. • Investigate by verifying the information with family members and friends first and ignore the caller’s plea not to tell others. • Never send funds received by cheque until it officially clears in your account, which can take several days, or more. • Watch out for email scams. Often someone you know may have had their email high jacked by a scammer, so do not trust an emergency via email unless you have verified it first. You can also “Report a Scam”, and learn more on other summer scams on www.mbc.bbb.org.

funds through the West Coast Pulp Charity Invitational Golf Tournament as part of the campaign. The annual golf tournament is generously supported by various forest products companies, international

pulp agencies, global transportation companies, business services and industry analysts and is the single largest fundraiser for the BC Raise A Reader campaign. The idea behind the charity is to be able to give something back to the community that supports the forestry business. In Castlegar, this is Mercer International. “Forest Legacy Foundation believes in giving back to our communities and we truly believe literacy is a positive investment for the future of our children,” said Terry Prefontaine, Forest Legacy Foundation. The Raise A Reader campaign is unique in that it focuses and promotes family literacy within the province of B.C. through Decoda Literacy Solutions, the provincial literacy organization. The B.C. government generously adds to the fundraised amount. The money raised goes directly to the literacy task groups in each community and they, in turn, apply the funds to where the literacy needs are greatest.
