Sinixt woman denies contempt GREG NESTEROFF Nelson Star

A Slocan Valley woman charged with criminal contempt of court argued Wednesday that she did not obstruct a logging company on Perry Ridge. Marilyn James of the local Sinixt First Nation was arrested March 4 on the forestry road for violating a court injunction granted the previous day to Galena Contracting, which was extending the road for BC Timber Sales. However, she denied impeding the company’s access, contending that Galena already had crews ploughing the road past the gate where she stood

and that owner Ray Hascarl had a key to the gate, although he told her otherwise. James, who is representing herself, also told BC Supreme Court Justice Mark McEwan that police didn’t ask her or her co-accused Dennis Zarelli any questions to verify they were actually violating the order before arresting them. “Did you ascertain whether the gate was locked or unlocked?” she asked Slocan Lake RCMP Cst. Bill McKenna during testimony in Nelson Wednesday. “Did you find out if we had a key? Did you go to the gate? Did you ask Ray Hascarl about a key?” McKenna said he hadn’t.

“Aren’t these logical questions to make sure [we’re] guilty?” she asked. “I would have been happy to take a statement,” McKenna said. “But you didn’t do that. You came on me like an aggressor,” James replied. Hascarl testified BC Timber Sales told him he was “obligated” to go to work, although he didn’t ask what would happen if he didn’t. He denied the crown corporation encouraged him to seek an injunction. “No, their contract had a timeline they said they would extend if I got an injunction.” Continued on Page 2

James representing herself He said the province informed him when he got the contract that it was contentious — local Sinixt and their supporters have a camp just beyond the gate to protect what they say are important cultural sites. However, he believed the government consulted recognized First Nations before awarding the contract. The Sinixt aren’t on the list, as they haven’t had official status with senior Canadian governments since the 1950s. Hascarl agreed his crew went up the road before James and Zarelli arrived and admitted he had access to a gate key, but told them otherwise. “You lied?” James asked. “Yes. I was scared for my safety,” he replied. “We didn’t have a key so we weren’t impeding you,” James said. James also refuted claims that when she and Zarelli were arrested their car was blocking the road, saying it was actually parked at a fork where other vehicles could easily pass. “How did we cause you harm?” James asked. “Stopping me from working,” Hascarl said.

Argues she didn’t obstruct logging company on Perry Ridge

Marilyn James of the local Sinixt First Nation (seen here at a public rally earlier this year) was arrested March 4. Kevin Mills photo “Yet you’re trespassing on unceded territory. How about the harm you’re doing us?” James asked.

A brief video Hascarl took of his encounter with James and Zarelli on the road that morning was played three times for the court. Hascarl’s testimony ended the Crown’s case, which began a week ago Monday and resumed Wednesday. James called a supporter to testify that her car wasn’t blocking the road, as well as Zarelli, who recently pled guilty to contempt and received a 14-day conditional sentence plus probation. Under cross-examination by crown prosecutor Iain Currie, Zarelli refused to agree that he intended to stop work planned that morning, or that he previously succeeded in preventing Hascarl from proceeding up the road. “You intended to interfere with his work?” Currie asked. “No, I believe you can’t overstep fundamental laws,” he said. “You felt your rights were supreme?” “I felt it was an abuse of process.” The day ended with a testy exchange between McEwan and James. “The only rights we have here are BC Timber Sales’ and the white man’s,” she said. “Does it make you feel good to shout?” McEwan asked. “You seem to be under the impression you run this room. You don’t.” The trial was scheduled to resume Thursday.

News Showing solidarity with teachers

Trafalgar students walk out WILL JOHNSON Nelson Star

Maddy Reilly was supposed to leave for a field trip Wednesday. As part of their aboriginal education program, Trafalgar Middle School students were planning to spend some time at Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump in Alberta. But due to job action, she ended up standing on a sidewalk with a homemade sign instead. “We’re sick and tired. All the students, including me, are sick of being in the middle of this,” the Grade 7 student spokesperson told the Star on Wednesday morning. Another event, a school performance called Yellow Submarine, was also cancelled. But Reilly said they’re willing to continue missing performances and field trips, because they stand in solidarity with the teachers and want them to receive a fair deal from the government. “All they want is smaller class sizes and some more money,” said Reilly. “They’re taking care of 20 to 29 students every day and they don’t get paid enough.” The Trafalgar students are just a local example of a province-wide trend. A Facebook event called BC Student Walkout currently has 13,800 people RSVPed as “going”. A walk-out was also planned at L.V. Rog-

RCMP believe the couple arrested recently in two Nelson robberies is responsible for other crimes in West Kootenay. Trail-based Cpl. Kent Drover said for a number of reasons police are satisfied the same suspects were involved in all of the incidents, including Kootenay Savings hold-ups in Salmo and Castlegar, Johnny’s Groceries and Gas in Robson, as well as various pharmacy break-ins.

Doctors Needed Maddy Reilly, a grade 7 student from Trafalgar Middle School, was named the spokesperson for the student walkout in solidarity with striking teachers. Will Johnson photo ers Secondary, but as of 9:45 on Wednesday morning, few students had participated. Some students planned to march in solidarity with their teachers on Thursday. Meanwhile, an unusual number of stu-

dents were seen wandering around downtown Nelson in large groups. Whether or not they were skipping class or attempting to make a statement wasn’t immediately clear.

Crime spree likely work of two suspects JIM SINCLAIR

Work, Play, Live

The prime suspect is Andrew Stevenson, 33, who was apprehended along with his common-law wife Kristi Kalmikoff on April 25 following a robbery at the Nelson and District Credit Union. A week earlier, the Kootenay Currency Exchange was robbed. Prior to that date there had been a series of robberies dating back to November 2013 when Simply Shoppers Pharmacy, formerly Paragon Pharmacy, of Castlegar was

robbed. Charges in all of the offences have been forwarded to the Crown for approval. “We believe the same person or people are responsible for all the robberies,” Drover said. “There was evidence that linked the investigations together.” However, “It’s one thing to believe it, it’s another thing to prove it, so we’ve completed our investigation into all the robberies. All that information has been sent to

June 7th to June 14

Crown counsel. Whether we’ll get charge approval on all of them remains to be seen. It’s going to be based on whether the evidence supports those charges.” Stevenson, next due in Nelson Provincial Court on June 10, faces 15 counts including u n l aw f u l l y discharging a firearm, robbery, and break and enter. His co-accused, Kalmikoff was released on $40,000 bail and returns to court the same day.

Health lecturer has broad appeal Tamara Hynd Nelson Star

Canadian women’s health expert Lorna Vanderhaeghe will be speaking at the Prestige Lakeside Resort in Nelson. Vanderhaeghe’s June 10 lecture explores how hormones are the foundation of our health and is based on one of her 12 books, Everything You Need to Know About Hormones. Who might this Kootenay Co-op sponsored lecture interest? “Any woman experiencing problems with acne, or their period,” said Vanderhaeghe. “Any woman trying to get pregnant; to know what tests she could have, what those tests mean and how to solve these problems. Women with classic endrometriosis and who are 30 plus, who are pre/peri menopausal, or have menopausal symptoms.” The hormone centred lecture aims to provide information the author believes is the basic foundation to health. Vanderhaeghe said many women are shocked and horrified what happens when they start menopause. They lose 30 per cent of their skin collagen which helps prevent wrinkling of the skin. “This is the first time in history that there are more women above the age of 50 than there are below 50. They are having difficulties with weight gain and rapid skin aging. These women are making a good income,

doctors office.” This will be Vanderhaeghe’s first time speaking in Nelson and is very excited about the lecture. “There are always lots of demos and gifts for people,” she said. Vanderhaeghe’s newest book, Beautiful Skin Begins Within, details specific foods and vitamins to create a healthy dermis. She pairs with Dr. Martin Braun a cosmetic rejuvenation physician who practises in Vancouver. She explained that women are spending billions in Canadian doctors offices on cosmetic treatments. He noticed his clients with a diet full of proper nutrients and good food had better skin integrity and simply looked better. “Women are spending a ton of money on topical treatments and its so important that they know what these procedures are,” she said. “If they use these procedures, they also need to know that continuing to take care of their skin from the inside will continue to help their skin. So many women are spending hundreds of dollars on topical collagen creams that yet the molecules are too large to be absorbed through the skin exterior.” Vanderhaeghe’s lecture is Tuesday, June 10 from 7- 9 p.m.

Vandal strikes Search and Rescue command vehicle

Will Johnson Nelson Star

The Nelson Search and Rescue were practicing at Mountain Station on Wednesday night when president Brian Cooles discovered that their new $200,000 command vehicle

had an four-letter epithet keyed “to the bare metal”. “It’s not like we’re the police,” said Cooles. “I mean, we’re doing our best to get out there and help everybody. We go out and try to do our best.”

Is the snoring too loud?

Cooles said the gesture was a “slap in the face” to his organization, and he felt “slighted”. The purchase of the vehicle was made possible by funds from the Columbia Basin Trust and other organizations. He called it a “huge invest-

ment”. “We take pride in our equipment,” said Cooles, who noted the vehicle will be used as their command centre during crisis situations. It is unclear when the vandalism took place.

Maia Vezina remembers clearly the moment her mother Pat turned to her and said “Maia, I’m going to die” shortly before losing consciousness. Vezina and Henman were trapped in the wreckage of their car just outside Skookumchuck. An SUV piloted by a woman, believed to be intoxicated, had crossed the centre line and plowed into them head-on. Now Vezina found herself arguing with paramedics, and asking them to save her mother first. A year later, she thinks that decision may have been responsible for saving her mother’s life. “Those are the hardest words you can hear someone you love say,” said Vezina. “I think she knew something was wrong.” Vezina described the event and its aftermath to a rapt grad class in L.V. Rogers on June 5. Strutting across the room, with a skin graft on her left thigh the only readily visible injury, the students may have had a hard time imagining Vezina’s struggles. But her Power Point presentation drove her points home. “I broke my left femur. I broke my right femur in two places. Both ankles. My left knee. Pelvis. Both arms. Right wrist. Left clavicle. First left rib. Left cheekbone,” she said. On top of that, Vezina is still waiting on two surgeries and she currently has bone chips

Snake Bark Maples Common name: Snake Bark Maples Botanical Names: Acer pensylvanicum , Acer tegmentosum As I was walking around the nursery this past week, these very remarkable trees caught my attention. In reality the Snake Bark Maple is not a single species, since there are some 20 species of the tree worldwide ! Almost all originate from southeastern Asia, growing in mixed forests at elevations of up to 1,600 meters, and they are distinguished from other maples by the extraordinary patterning of their bark. The young stems of Acer pensylvanicum are beautifully striped white and pale jade green. The young leaves are bright green, opening from pinkishred buds in spring and turning a bright yellow in the fall. Winged seeds hang from attractive chains at the end of summer. Acer tegmentosum, known as the Manchurian Snake Bark Maple is as exotic as its name suggests. Growing to a medium size, with a

broad, vase like shape, it reigns supreme for its beautiful bark. It’s smooth bright green trunk is heavily striped with shades of bluegreen and white. As with most Snake Bark Maples A. pensylvanicum and A. termentosum’s foliage and green and white stems are best and brightest in open to dappled shade. The upright vase shape requires little pruning, remove only broken or dead branches. Snake Bark Maples will create a spectacular addition to your garden, with little maintenance other than occasional watering during extended hot, dry spells. Great plant combinations include: Acer japonicum, Picea orientalis, Kerria japonica and Osmanthus heterophyllus. Case Grypma for Georama Growers

QUESTION

WebTalk

OF THE WEEK Should students be involved in the ongoing teachers’ labour dispute?

Pay docking

The people who are posting negative comments towards people like Todd Kettner quite obviously haven’t taken the time to get to know who he is and what he stands for. Fairness, compassion, and standing up for others besides himself. He could have taken the money and run, but he didn’t. Dawne Garnett

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

You are using the grief of our community Kettner for your own selfish ends. Dave Good

Considering the recent increase in crime, should Nelson hire more police officers?

he BC Liberal government’s bill to divide the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones has passed, after one of the nastier exchanges I’ve seen in a decade covering the BC legislature. “You’re all a bunch of corrupt liars,” NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons yelled as the government cut off a long and mostly repetitious debate that dominated the final days of the legislature session. Not to be outdone, cabinet minister Bill Bennett replied to Simons’ heckle about Kootenay rancher Faye Street, one of Bennett’s most vocal supporters as he pushed through changes to the land reserve to ease land use restrictions in rural zones. Bennett advised Simons to offer his remarks to Street in person. “She’ll kick your ass,” Bennett said. The on-the-record debate wasn’t much better. Columbia River-Revelstoke NDP MLA Norm Macdonald summed up his party’s biggest objection with his charge that “a bunch of Liberal political hacks” will be appointed to regional panels of the Agricultural Land Commission. The government’s scheme, Macdonald and other NDP critics predicted, is to un-

leash a flood of ALR land removals, to enrich BC Liberal supporters by allowing development on productive farmland. That might be a valid concern, but there are a couple of factual problems. First, every appointment to the ALC, at the regional or provincial level, is made by the BC government. It’s been that way since the Dave Barrett administration set it up in 1973. Second, the regional panels are not new. The BC Liberals imposed them in 2003. If this was their method of corrupting the process to dismantle the ALR, that would have largely happened in the years since. Surely by this time they would have found enough greedy political hacks who hate farming to subvert the process. I’ve written before about the legitimate concerns of places like Merritt and Vanderhoof and Dawson Creek, where some

ALR rules and decisions simply don’t make sense. Strict secondary residence rules are needed in areas with non-farm development pressure. In most rural areas, they are a mistake, and are frequently ignored. The debate wasn’t entirely devoid of honesty and civility. Macdonald interrupted his string of baseless accusations to note that under the current system, 75 per cent of exclusion applications in the Kootenay region are approved. If that’s the case, what is really broken that needs to be fixed? It’s a good question that the government did not adequately answer. And credit also goes to the new agriculture minister, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick, who inherited a public relations mess left by the brief and boneheaded performance of Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm.

Braving the heckling at the end, Letnick put aside his partisan talking points and gave his personal assurance that the government’s intention is to support farming in those places where non-farm income is the only thing that keeps people on the land. As soon as the theatrics had died down, the BC NDP sent out a fundraising plea to its members to help “save” the ALR. The party is broke and desperate after losing its fourth straight election, and it hopes to activate its declining donor base by portraying the changes as the imminent slaughter of its most sacred cow. Voters have three years before the next election to assess this situation. If there is a flood of exclusions of prime agricultural land, then the NDP will be able to make its case that its warnings were at least partially true. If this does not take place, then the government’s position will be vindicated. We’ll find out the truth. — Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

RDCK mulls dispute process for Columbia Basin Trust funding

It’s ‘the principle’ not the money GREG NESTEROFF Nelson Star

The Regional District of Central Kootenay is looking at adopting a dispute resolution process for Columbia Basin Trust funding after a protest over the way a community vote was handled this spring. Residents who live within 10 kilometers of the Duncan dam gathered in Meadow Creek on April 7 to decide how to divvy up $73,786 in affected areas funding. Twentyeight groups applied with requests totalling over $115,000. A committee including regional district director Andy Shadrack, Kaslo village councillor Suzan Hewat and three community representatives recommended two large projects receive ANDY SHADRACK $9,500 each, four small applications receive the full amounts, and the remaining 22 groups get 90 per cent of what they asked for. Those at the meeting initially voted 20 to 11 in favour of the committee’s recommendation but after some people said they were confused, everyone was asked to fill out ballots indicating how much they’d like each project to receive. As a result, some groups were poised to receive more money than the committee recommended and others less. Friends of the Lardeau River, who sought $3,800 to improve the Glayco beach recreation site, saw their proposed allocation reduced from about $3,400 to $2,600. The committee agreed to go with what was on the ballots, a decision upheld by Shadrack and the regional district board, much to the chagrin of Grant Trower with Friends of the Lardeau River. “The only confusion was with the 11 people who voted for the ballot,” he said.

“There was no confusion with the 20 people who voted to accept the committee’s recommendation.” Shadrack, who was not at the meeting, said he would top up funding to Trower’s group through other means, but Trower was still concerned about the process: “It’s not the money. It’s the principle. It’s the fact our vote has been denied.” Shadrack said the decision to go with the results of the ballot rather than the original vote was made after “extensive discussion” w i t h Tr ow e r, the Columbia Basin Tr u s t , and the people who ran the meeting. “Did we meet the basic criteria? Was there proper community consultation? Yes. And was the vote eventually taken by filling out the ballot reflective of what people were thinking? The answer has to be yes.” He noted that of the 31 people at the meeting, only a couple have raised concerns. Trower appealed unsuccessfully to the regional district board this month. Although staff investigated, they placed no recommendation before directors, who unanimously supported Shadrack’s motion to accept the ballot results. At the time, chair John Kettle suggested Trower could take it up with the Trust, but

he now says the regional district is solely accountable. “The bottom line is the process is ours,” he said. “It’s our responsibility to administer the program.” Kettle has asked staff to draft a dispute resolution process that could be introduced at their next board meeting in June, although it probably won’t affect what happened in Meadow Creek. “I think there was a lapse in process that could be questioned. I’m going to make sure we fix it next time,” he said, although he wasn’t sure what form it would take. JOHN KETTLE Columbia Basin Trust CEO Neil Muth, who met with Kettle on the issue last week, said although local governments decide on disbursements in a myriad of ways, disputes are rare — “I wouldn’t even say it’s once a year” — and the Trust is careful about getting involved. “We would look at whether anything violated our agreement. If there was, we’d sit down with our partner and talk it through. In this case nothing has been brought to my attention that violates our agreement. It’s largely up to them to sort it out.” Muth said while he expects the regional district to advise them of what they come up with, the Trust isn’t an appeal body and will remain at arm’s length. Trower is pleased the regional district is looking at changes, although he remains troubled by the way the vote was handled. “They’ve been instructed to set up a process so it won’t happen again. That’s good. But I’m still concerned our public vote has been denied.” 2.833 x 5”

Make education non-partisan Everyone is frustrated by the ongoing labour dispute between teachers and the government. We all acknowledge that the bargaining process doesn’t work, yet here we are again. Why? It is because of us — parents and the public. No political party — NDP or Liberal — will speak plainly and engage us in the difficult discussions we need to have because we won’t vote for them if they do. We vote for those who tell us what we want to hear even if they know and we suspect that they can’t deliver on their promises. Governments promise to deliver quality public education while reducing taxes. Quality education for who and what? Industry wants job-ready employees, but what does broader society need? What does that realistically cost? The current labour dispute serves as a distraction for these more fundamental issues. For the union, linking class size and composition to better education for students plays to what parents want to hear. Research, however, suggests those are not the most significant factors in determining how well students do. The degree to which parents are involved in their children’s education trumps all else. So step one is

to look ourselves in the mirror and ask hard questions. In the classroom, the quality of teaching is the key factor, which would require evolving the system so hiring and wage increases are tied to competency, dedication and outcomes rather than seniority. Defining a fair wage isn’t just about what teachers in other provinces earn, rather how are teachers doing compared to others in their community? Given the union is not accountable to parents, we cannot engage them in these issues. We need to challenge all political parties and the union to make education a non-partisan issue. They need to come together and jointly talk with us about the underlying issues, what we can realistically expect from a public education system, how we can take a more collaborative approach at the community level, and the most strategically important investments that can be made. Such a dialogue will require changes on the part of everyone, including parents. We must insist that a common platform regarding public education be developed with a commitment to implement it regardless of who is in power (within government or the union). The provincial

election would be used to determine, among other things, whom the public feels best qualified to manage implementation. If they insist on continuing to use us as pawns in their public relations war, then it is time to call them on it. Both the union and government need to put forward their best option for resolving the outstanding issues in this labour dispute. Tell us what you think should change, why the changes are necessary, what specific improvements will result for students and how they will be measured, who will be accountable for the outcomes and how, and what the required tax increase would be. And you better be honest about all the costs because you might have to live with the consequences. A non-binding referendum would then be used to get a mandate for moving forward. I suspect that no political party or the union will want to face the wrath of a public that is fed up with all of them on these issues. Better to hold hands and collectively jump into the unknown territory of truly working together, dragging complacent yet grumpy parents along for the ride. Cathy Scott-May 10.33Bonnington x 7"

Commons’ Sense

A project of the Kootenay Co-op

“As soon as Nelson Commons came up for sale, we put our names down for a unit. A lot of it has to do with the location—you can do your shopping, and so much more, without having to get in the car and drive.” Talking with John and Marlene Lerbscher, it seems that most people are buying into Nelson Commons for the same reasons. John and Marlene have been Kootenay residents for decades, but they’ve also spent chunks of time in big cities where they’ve learned to appreciate the virtues of all that downtown living offers. John’s an avid skier and a passholder at Whitewater Resort. He also heads off on a couple trips to other ski areas every winter. Marlene added: “When John’s away, he can feel more at peace knowing that I can just go downstairs to the Co-op to get whatever I need.” John is a chemist and he’s taken a “scientific” approach and documented all the environmental and economic benefits of living at the Commons. He points out that high-density living significantly reduces one’s carbon footprint and that their monthly cost will be significantly lower than what they are paying now for their house, which is outside of Nelson. As they both get a little older, the prospect of almost maintenance-free living is a big deal for John and Marlene as well. Not having to shovel out a driveway after a storm (and just 22 minutes from Whitewater!), the ability to “lock and leave” when they go on vacation, and proximity to medical clinics, great restaurants and the movie theatre are some of the many reasons for them. John and Marlene are also big fans of Nelson and everything that will be nearby. “And it’s a four-season town—it’s not a one trick pony,” John added.

A variety of units are still available. Visit the Display Suite & Sales Office at 621 Vernon St, 12:00 to 5:00, Wednesday to Sunday (or call to book an appointment).

f Sergio Leone ever decided to set a spiritual epic in the Napoleonic era, it might look a little bit like Of Saints and Outlaws. The locally filmed feature, directed by Antonio Bastone, tells the story of a heretic-burning church inspector during the 18th century. During his travels he encounters a mysterious vagabond, becomes part of a traveling posse with a mad judge, and dares to defy the church. Bastone said every aspect of the film is based on historical records. Using 36 local actors, Bastone took approximately a year and a half to finish shooting digitally with his son Ash Von Shamier. Of Saints and Outlaws will premiere at the APPROVED Civic Theatre on June 18 and at the Capital on June 21. Residents may recognize the backdrop, because every scene was filmed in the Kootenays. “People down in Florida, they can’t believe we live in such a beautiful place,” said Bastone. “We don’t need work visas. We have this magnificent backdoor and I thought ‘hey, I should be taking advantage of this.”’ The scenery wasn’t his only asset. He also dipped into the local talent pool,

Film director Antonio Bastone will be premiering his locally shot movie Of Saints and Outlaws in Will Johnson photo Nelson next week.

picking up both trained theatre actors and residents who had no experience. Andrew Harvey and Michael Callandine play the lead roles, and Bastone has a part as well. “I think this will appeal to our community, because they’ll be able to identify with parts of the script,” Bastone said. Though the film has spiritual overtones and features deeply Christian characters, he said it will appeal to the faithful and secular alike. “It all leads back to love. Love thy broth-

er,” he said. The film has an anti-war message, and is ultimately about the deteriorated evolution of mankind. “I think they’ll walk away with a better idea of what Christ was talking about,” said Bastone. “This isn’t a sensationalism film. It’s not one of those watered down mystical-type movies. It’s basically about how we all have divinity within us, the capability for Godconsciousness.” The film is based on Bastone’s currently unpublished novel, which he’s hoping to show to publishers in tandem with the finished movie. He said it captures the spirit of the book, but leaves much of the plot untouched. “I think you need to think big to be big,” he said. Bastone envisions multiple parts of his tale on the big screen, and is already working on a new Western. “I know this won’t be a blockbuster,” Bastone said about the film, which was completed for less than $100,000. But he said that doesn’t matter to him, and he believes the advances in digital filmmaking will open the floodgates for more artists like him to realize their vision. After screening in Nelson, Of Saints and Outlaws will tour to the Calgary International Film Festival, the Canadian International Film Festival, the Vancouver International Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival. Bastone said that’s only the beginning. “I’m going to send it everywhere,” he said. You can view the trailer at www.ofsaintsandoutlaws.com

Internet Cat Film Festival a fun fundraiser for the SPCA

Raising the value of ‘kitties’ Will Johnson

Nelson Star

T’S NOT often you meet a grown man who unironically uses the word “kitties”, but Rob Andrew from the Nelson SPCA is one of them. “We’re looking to raise the value of cats,” said Andrew, about the upcoming Internet Cat Film Festival, which is playing at the Civic Theatre for one night on June 12. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with the show starting at 7:30. The event will feature a “kitty corral” for on-site adoptions, a number of feline-themed live performances and a short selection of local videos. The host will be comedian Lucas Myers. “You have to figure about 50 per cent of people are cat people. But cats, in general, their value in society is way too low,” said Andrew. “This is a way for cat people to come together, socialize, and celebrate kitties.” Whereas dog-lovers have a whole variety of ways to socialize with one another, he noted that

APPROVED

Nelson comedian Lucas Myers gets in touch with his inner cat in preparation for hosting a special Internet Cat Film Festival at Nelson’s Civic Theatre. The event is a fundraiser for the local SPCA. Tamara Hynd photo

cat people are often more isolated. He said this film festival will be an opportunity for cat people to commiserate and to have fun raising money while doing it. All proceeds from the evening will go to the Nelson SPCA. “Who doesn’t love watching cat videos?” asked June McEwen, who helped organize the event. She said the event is unique because people

will be experiencing the videos in a communal setting rather than in the privacy of their homes. And though the evening will be light-hearted, there is a serious element to the fundraising. Andrew said that he’s experienced firsthand the callousness of some owners towards cats. Dogs seem to have an intrinsic value to the populace, cats are

abandoned more often, spend more time waiting for adoption and are euthanized in disturbing numbers. But none of that has to be the case, and if the popularity of kitten videos online is any indication, there is no shortage of affection for our furry compatriots. Jason Asbell, manager of the Civic Theatre, said they jumped at the chance to host the Internet Cat

Film Festival. He noted that the next smallest city to host the film was Charlottetown, NB and he credits the fact that they’re a unique independent theatre, and have less restrictions than the larger chains, for giving them the opportunity to host this unique event. “It’s definitely part of our mandate,” he said, to support local initiatives and non-profit societies. McEwen said the evening will be a “variety show of sorts”, and all ages friendly. There will be live painting by local tattoo artist Avrell Fox, a thermion show by Canadian recording artist Clara Venice and a dance number by the Showcats. DJs from the all-female collective Meow Mix will supply some beats. Andrew said the SPCA is currently in the midst of “kitten season”, and though the older cats won’t be able to attend, there will be plenty of their younger counterparts to frolic with and take pictures of. The deadline for submitting your own cat video is Monday, June 9. Tickets are $15, $12 for seniors and $10 for kids. To find out about tickets and to submit your own cat video, visit civictheatre.ca. For more information contact the Civic Theatre at 250-352-5833 or the Nelson BC SPCA at 250-3527178. “This is purr-fect for us,” said Andrew.

The joy of eating with soy The prevalence of soy products in recipes and ready-made foods has skyrocketed in recent years. Soy-based milk products and others that substitute soy with more traditional ingredients are no longer relegated to the outskirts of the neighborhood grocery store. While soy is being consumed in greater numbers than in decades past, some people are still unaware of the various health benefits and advantages to including soy in their diets. Soyfoods provide a number of nutritional benefits for people of all ages. Recent studies (performed by the Soyfoods Association of North America) have indicated that eating soy at an early age may help protect against some diseases, including breast cancer, later in life. Soy also may help improve cognitive function. People largely turn to soy to maintain a healthy weight and control their cholesterol, as soy can replace foods that are higher in saturated fat, calories and cholesterol. For example, a glass of whole milk contains 150 calories and eight grams of total fat. Soy milk, however, comes in between 80 and 100 calories and may have roughly four grams of fat. The fat is mostly healthy fats, as there are only trace amounts of saturated fat

in soy products. It also has cholesterol-lowering properties and can be beneficial to those who are lactose intolerant. Vegetarians and vegans routinely turn to soyfoods as a main protein source. It can offer a number of healthy benefits, including providing a lean protein source that is lower in saturated fats than other forms of protein. Calcium-fortified soymilk offers the same nutritional value as cow’s milk but can still be consumed by those who are lactose intolerant. It can help many people maintain healthy weights and promotes cardiovascular health. While soyfoods can be beneficial, such foods are not perfect. Allergies to soy are possible, and as with any dietary supplement, moderate consumption may be all that’s necessary to provide nutritional benefits. Overconsumption of soy may not provide the desired results. One concern regarding soy is its relationship to genetically modified organisms, or GMOs. Reports suggest that the vast majority of soybeans produced in the United States are GMOs. While these soybeans are primarily used for livestock feed, many foods that people eat also contain GMO soybeans. The jury is still out with regard to the impact that GMO foods have on personal health.

Soyfoods can provide a number of nutritional benefits for people of all ages.

Singer takes A Simple Twist on tour

Nelson-based vocalist Laura Landsberg is spreading her latest offering of reinvented classics across the Kootenay this June backed by a band of musicians sure to delight. Landsberg released A Simple Twist earlier this year and has been looking forward to bringing her take on classics from Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Led Zeppelin and more on the road. Take one part rock ’n’ roll, one part jazz, and one part country, shake it up with a dynamic voice and that’s what audiences are in for. “There’s nothing better than touring with a band of respected musicians with an album that people will easily find a connection to,” said Landsberg. “I had such a wonderful time recording these incredible songs in a new way. I can’t wait to perform them in front of a live audience.” Van Morrison’s Into the Mystic, lures us in with a coun-

try treatment that has Landsberg singing with a haunting loneliness and longing, a voice calling out over the weaving of the violin and pedal steel. With CCR’s Have You Ever Seen The Rain, Landsberg channels two iconic singers of the ’60s by stating the melody with the calmness of Joni Mitchell and the confidence of Carole King. Perhaps the most ambitious song on this album is the Led Zeppelin masterpiece, Dazed and Confused. This classic from the hard rock library is transformed to a moving ballad, drawing out the deep emotion of the song yet stated purely unplugged. Elton John’s Your Song, Leonard Cohen’s Hey That’s No Way To Say Goodbye, Prince’s Purple Rain, Cyndi Lauper’s All Through The Night, Paul Simon’s Something So Right and more round out the recording. “Laura Landsberg is a rare vocalist, one who can cross

almost any genre with a range of expression and emotion that draws you into anything she decides to sing,” said banjo virtuoso Craig Korth, director of the Nimble Fingers Music Festival. “She is widely known as a wonderful jazz and R& B singer. On A Simple Twist she stretches out and explores new territory, all with her trademark virtuosity. She uses her musical curiosity to combine elements of jazz, country and even some rock to deliver a song in a way that’s all her own.” Helping bring A Simple Twist to life will be the band of Tom Neville (violin), Tony Ferraro (drums), Paul Landsberg (guitar), Doug Stephenson (bass) and Miles Black (piano). “Getting to play with these talented musicians is a gift,” says Landsberg. “It’s going to be a treat to play live with such a great group.” Landsberg leads a busy life as a mother to six children, a Selkirk College Contemporary Music & Technology instructor, and a jazz singer. The A Simple Twist tour is supported by Columbia Basin Trust and the Columbia Kootenay Cultural Alliance. Tour dates include Kaslo (June 10), Silverton (June 11) and Rossland (June 12). Nelson-based singer/songwriter James Lamb will provide the opening set during the tour. Lamb has recently returned to his home town in Nelson. He is respected and loved by numerous musicians in Nelson and across the country for his dynamic guitar work, tenor voice and well crafted songs.

LVR girls soccer squad played well, but luck not on their side

Bombers take ninth at provincials Staff writer Nelson Star

The L.V. Rogers Bombers senior girls soccer squad won three games, tied one and lost another to place ninth in the AA Soccer Provincials in Penticton. “One of the best records in the entire tournament and still finished 9th,” said coach Jamie Spendlove. “They were a little disappointed to finish so far from the top, especially when we should have beaten the champions in the second game. Tournaments are funny the way, though, and not always the best team wins.” Spendlove was talking about the game played against Princess Margaret Secondary. “We were all over them the first 10 minutes and it was looking good until one of their players scored from about 30 yards out to put us down one. We kept at it but again they scored from a free kick.” The girls had a particularly rough go during the game, and at times it got violent. “We scored about five minutes into the second half to bring us back to 2-1. Two minutes later one of their players was red-carded for punching one of our players in the face. It was brutal,”

said Spendlove. “We attacked in waves for the rest of the game with the other team `parking the bus’ in front of the net. We hit the crossbar two times. It just wouldn’t go in.” At the end of the game Princess Margaret scored a final goal off a breakaway. They ultimately went on to win the championships. The Bombers’ goal was scored by Naomi Perkins and MVP was Erica Augsten. Spendlove said the Bombers are in a good position to place better next year. “We only lose three players next year through graduation. Our captain Erica Augsten is on a soccer scholarship to Lethbridge. We also lose our goalkeeper Keegan Paterson and another defender Calena Marchand, who are both off to university,” he said. “I was extremely proud of the way the girls played through the entire season and really enjoyed coaching them this year,” he said.

Grizzlies even season record at 1-1 Malcolm McCutcheon Nelson Star

Nelson Grizzlies Rugby Club defeated the Elk Valley Bulls Rugby Football Club 26-7 on the weekend. The two team face each other again in two weeks. Malcolm McCutheon photo

The Nelson Grizzlies Rugby Club endured blazing hot temperatures but still managed to handily defeat the Elk Valley Bulls Rugby Football Club 26-7 on the weekend. In just their second match of the season, the Grizzlies dominated the affair coming off of a loss last weekend in Cranbrook. “I definitely thought when you compare it to our first game we definitely concentrated on stiffening up our defense. It was pretty lax in our first game, so I thought on Saturday our defense was tightened up,” said head coach Scott Cormie. The game opened at a steady pace and the ball movement from both teams was excellent going into the latter part of the first half. Close to the end of the half, Nelson’s scrum half made a nice pass from a ruck finding his charging teammate who found a gap in the Bulls’ defensive line running through for a try. Although the Bulls attempted to respond with a try of their own their possession was lost when the Grizzlies made a defensive stand. Player substitutions by the

Grizzlies kept the team fresh putting pressure on their opponents. “I would say, especially for the front row on a hot day like that, it’s really important to make subs. I told them give me all you got, don’t be walking. Give it your all and when you’re done, you’re done,” said Cormie. The second half began at a rapid pace as the Bulls pinned Nelson into their own zone for a number of ball movements. Responding well, the Grizzlies moved the ball down the field with solid ball movement scoring their second try of the match. The only try of the game for the Bulls came minutes later on a missed call from the referee that allowed the Bulls to sneak the ball in for a try. Before the end of the game the Grizzlies added a pair of trys off of an excellent lineout push by the forwards who punched the ball in and another excellent run by the forwards scoring the final try of the match. With their first win of the season the Grizzlies are now 1-1 and will head into the rest of their season feeling prepared after dominating last seasons provincial champions.

“Well, I think the one thing we can take from it is that last year Fernie was provincial champs so it was good to finally get a win against them. It sort of, I think puts Cranbrook in the driver’s seat. It really says that Cranbrook is the bench mark and we have a bit more work to do to catch up,” said Cormie. Playing in the back line as a centre, Cam Stewart was named the player of the game for his solid play. “Cam was the most outstanding player for sure — defensively he was rock solid. He carried the ball a ton, supported a ton and made good decisions,” said Cormie. Going forward the Grizzlies will be focused on training hard as their next two games are on the road. “In practice we will just stick to the things we were doing, defense and we really need to work on our line out. We have already put a fair amount of work into that, but obviously it needs a little more work,” commented Cormie. The next game for the Nelson Grizzlies Rugby Club will be in two weekends on the road against the Elk Valley Bulls Rugby Football Club in Fernie.

Creating scoring chances Hello everyone and welcome to the fifth edition of the monthly Coach’s Corner. This month’s clinic addressed the theme “Creativity in the Final Third of the Field.” Having spoken to most coaches in the area creating those goal scoring opportunities is proving difficult. It all comes down to a few key elements. Support — When trying to create opportunities you need to support on the ball and around the ball. It’s not just about the player in possession. You need support in numbers. Brett Te a m Adams The Coach’s m e m b e r s need to make r u n s a n d show for the ball. You can launch attacks with one or two players. Decision making — The player in possession of the ball needs to make quick decisions. The moment hesitation creeps in the attack breaks down. Upon receiving the ball the attacker has to make sure that they know what they want to do with the ball. That could be a pass, run with the ball, a dribble, or an early shot. Encourage your players to be creative in this area but it all comes down to speed of thought. Movement on and off the ball — Players can make clever runs on and off the ball to receive a pass. A static player is less likely to receive a pass than a player that is actively moving. Defenders find it hard to defend against movement. So ask

Bringing to you our weekly words.

Friday, June 6, 2014 Nelson Star

Community

ver the years, many people have expressed interest in the details concerning Biblical manuscripts and their reliability. The Bible, if it is to be believed, must prove reliable in how it has been copied throughout the centuries. For the next four weeks, I will be addressing this topic. The first two weeks will focus on the Old Testament and the last two weeks will look at the New Testament.

One of the two major manuscript witnesses for the Old Testament is the Masoretic Text (‘MT’). The Old Testament (‘OT’) was originally written in Hebrew (with a few chapters in Aramaic) between 1300 and 400 BC. Jewish scribes meticulously copied these writings (called ‘manuscripts’) through the centuries. However, the earliest manuscripts that we have today reach only as far Nelson Christian Science Society back as 900 AD. A Branch of the Mother Church in Boston MA The second major OT manuscript witness is the Septuagint. Sunday Service in Balfour It translated the original Hebrew writings into Greek 9:30 am at the Anglican Church on Busk Rd. between the 3rd and 1st centuries BC. The earliest surviving For information 250-229-5237 manuscripts are much earlier than the MT dating to the 3rd and 4th centuries AD.

As errors do occur in the copying process, the earlier the manuscripts, the less potential for errors. Thus, these two OT manuscript witnesses have strengths and weaknesses. The MT’s strength lies in it being copied in Hebrew, the same language as the original writings, but its weakness is a late date for available manuscripts today. The Septuagint’s weakness is it was a translation, from Hebrew into Greek, with its strength in having earlier manuscript dates.

When comparing the MT and the Septuagint verse-byverse through the entire OT, the vast majority of passages agree.

Contributing to the common cultural good

Write what you know becomes write where you know with the Toronto Public Library’s Reading Map. In an innovative new initiative, TPL has set out to map novels set in the Toronto area, browsable by neighbourhood (O Yorkville! O Etobicoke!) to find Ray Robertson’s Moody Food, Joy Fielding’s Lost, Michael Ondaatje’s In the Skin of a Lion, or Margaret Atwood’s The Blind Assassin. From Kensington Market’s Courage My Love by Sarah Dearing to Cabbagetown’s Bitten by Kelley Armstrong, Toronto comes to life through the novels set on its streets. The map is interactive, and growing. Great novels are set all over Canada — including the Kootenays. So why not start our own fiction mapping project? It’s a little challenging: unlike Big City authors, who clearly set their novels in New York or

London, Montreal or Toronto, rural Canadian writers will rename their locations, presumably to protect the innocent—or the guilty.

It’s a smaller world after all. Up front or thinly disguised, here are a few titles set right here. Antonia Banyard’s Never Going Back is clearly set in Nelson as it tells the story of a group of friends returning for a memorial — and the recognition of some longheld secrets. The stories in D. W. Wilson’s Once You Break a Knuckle are all set around and about here, as are about half the stories in Tom Wayman’s Boundary Country. And The Kootenay Kidnapper by children’s author Eric Wilson describes an abduction at the Chahko Mika Mall. In the mystery novels In the Shadow of the Glacier and Valley of the Lost, Vicki Delany renames Nelson “Trafalgar”. Other re-names of familiar places include Deryn Collier’s Continued on Page 27

The Nelson Eagles Aerie No. 22 and Auxiliary made a donation to Our Daily Bread (ODB) last Friday. The $1,000 donation was raised at the Eagles’ fundraiser on March 29. Other donations were made to the Nelson Food Cupboard and the Salvation Army Food Bank. The Eagles will host another fundraising banquet on July 19. The proceeds from the spaghetti and chicken dinner will go to “Friends of the Family” in Nelson. Tickets are $30 per person. Our Daily Bread is a non-profit organization that provides a support network which includes meals, job search, workshops, free WiFi and connections

with health care services such as a Licenced Nurse Practitioner. They serve 80 to 100 people per day, 35 per cent of which are seniors. “Once rent is paid, many people do not have much left for food for the rest of the month,” said April Coyle, ODB support worker. “A $20 donation gives that person a 22 meal punch card so they are guaranteed one hot meal a day.” Coyle said they are in need of volunteers as various volunteers are going on holidays through the summer months. ODB is open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m to 1 p.m. To find out more, visit kootenaychristianfellowship.com.
