More than two years after a deadly landslide at Johnsons Landing, the Regional District of Central Kootenay has lifted an evacuation order for the area, although it probably won’t make much difference to affected residents. The order was rescinded Thursday, but chair John Kettle said that doesn’t mean the area is safe. Residents are being told that while there is no imminent danger, if they access their land they do so at their own risk. Many have already done so, but to build or rebuild, they will have to provide a geotechnical assessment to the regional district, which Kettle suggested may be expensive and impractical. The provincial government will continue to monitor the slide area while logging will be restricted on Crown land above the community. Kettle said the regional district waited for two freshet periods to pass before deciding to lift the order. He is satisfied there has been minimal movement of the slide area in that time. “It doesn’t look like a Doomsday scenario,” he said. “It could be tomorrow, it could be 1,000 years from now. But we might also be hit by a car in a crosswalk. We’ve got to continue to live.” Affected residents were advised of the decision at a meeting Sunday. Kate O’Keefe, whose husband Continued on Page 3

Crunching Numbers: Civic salaries compared The editorial resources of the West Kootenay Advertiser are as far-reaching as its circulation, and they have been coordinated for an in-depth feature of interest to anyone who pays local or regional taxes. A concerted effort has been made in the past few weeks to put together a comprehensive article on salaries paid to local and regional administrative staff members. The article, to appear in today’s edition of the West Kootenay Advertiser (inside this edition of the Nelson Star) was written by

the Star’s Greg Nesteroff with input from Black Press staff in Trail, Castlegar and Grand Forks. This is an important and interesting topic for several reasons, for one: it provides a useful measuring stick between communities in our coverage area. The story will also provide information that’s helpful for assessing the work done by various officials on our behalf. You’ve heard the expression relating to “voting with your wallet?”... this is another varia-

tion on that concept. Nesteroff is known for digging below the surface of an issue, getting right to the useful details. Like it or not, money is a large part of most stories relating to government – the universal currency, if you’ll excuse the expression, and those of us paying the freight have an obvious stake in the process.

The Nelson Paranormal League (NPL) is back and excited to announce the summer schedule of the Haunted Heritage Tour Streetcar #23. For the two long weekends in August (1 to 3 and 29 to 31) people are invited to enjoy a guided tour of Nelson’s paranormal side from the safety of the Nelson Electric Tramway Society’s (NETS) 108 year old Trolley Streetcar #23. The haunted tour will take people on an hour long adventure on Nelson’s waterfront filled with stories about paranormal investigations, tales of intrigue, and a look into the haunted history of the Kootenays. “The whole idea of what we’re doing here is that we are piloting a project with the trolley society to make it more exciting and do more fun things,” said trolley driver Chris Holland. He called it a destination tourism project allowing people who are having a “staycation” to do something fun and learn about where they live. “And for vacationers, to give them something more exciting to do.” Hauntings are a popular subject and Holland said this kind of tourism is growing in popularity. “Ghost tourism is big.” The tour begins in Lakeside Park with an introduction to the world of the paranormal and why Nelson is a hot bed for ghostly activity, you will then be treated to a variety of stories and first hand adventures as told by NPL founder Holland. The NPL was founded back in 2004, with the mission to investigate and educate people about paranormal activities and the unknown. They launched the league with a haunted heritage tour of Nelson and in 2006 filmed a documentary of their findings at a local hotel, Haunt at the Hume. It was when the league started to uncover significant paranormal evidence that they realized they needed to be careful with their findings. Over time the league found many allies and contacts to help them with their paranormal adventures and they are excited to be back and ready to launch a new era of

O’Keefe: ‘We were basically forgotten’

Little movement on compensation Continued from Page 1 Harvey Armstrong owns a property in the evacuation zone, said there was a “sense of resignation” among the 35 people at the meeting. O’Keefe said they also learned that a berm on private land put in place following the slide will probably remain in place, although it will require further evaluation. However, there has been little movement on the issue of compensation. Although the province provided several hundred thousand dollars in disaster assistance to those who lost their primary homes, it hasn’t been willing to compensate part-time residents. The government also says it has no means to buy out affected property owners who continue to pay taxes on land they can’t use. “We’ve had no hope for quite a long time,” O’Keefe said. “Our director and John Kettle have done as much as they can possibly do to achieve something, but it leaves a bad taste. People in Calgary [affected by flooding in 2013] were treated differently, and we were basically forgotten.” Rural Kaslo regional director Andy Shadrack said the RDCK has put forward a resolution to the Union of BC Municipalities asking the province to create a compensation program that any property owner affected by a natural disaster could apply to. While he applauded the province’s initial response to the slide, Shadrack said he was “extremely disappointed” it has failed to compensate all affected residents. “It doesn’t seem appropriate to have neighbours sideby-side where one gets compensated and the other doesn’t,” he said. He wasn’t impressed either with the regional district’s requirement for an engineering report before it allows building in the hazard zone: “If it’s not forthcoming, we’re going to deny them a permit? That’s a terrible situation to put people in.” As it lifted the evacuation order, the regional district issued a warning to residents and property owners advising them of ongoing risks of occupying land in the hazard area. Greg Utzig, whose cabin lies on property partly within that zone, found it perplexing. “They basically said we’re going to re-

A landslide at Johnsons Landing on July 12, 2012 claimed four lives. An evacuation order has remained in place ever since. File photo scind the order and you’re free to do whatever you want on your property but at the same time hand out letters that tell you not to do anything. They’re trying to relieve themselves of any responsibility.” A risk assessment concluded 18 properties remain at risk from another slide, including five that face a very high risk. Utzig said he has repeatedly asked for interpretation of the report, giving examples of safe or unsafe activities, to no avail. He said part of the problem is that the landslide originated on Crown land, which is the province’s responsibility, but caused damage on private land, which is the regional district’s responsibility. “A number of us are not very happy but in general I think the regional district has done everything they can do. They certainly tried but the province seems to be missing in action.” He took a dim view of the province’s promised monitoring of the slide area, since no details were provided to explain what will be examined, how often, or for how long. Nor were residents consulted. Ministry of Forests spokeswoman Vivian Thomas said a geomorphologist placed pins at areas above the debris flow to measure

movement, which have been monitored regularly, and will continue to be checked for movement. “Currently the area is relatively stable, but if that changes, that will be communicated immediately to the regional district,” she said. Four people died when the slide came down on July 12, 2012, destroying five homes as well as a community water system. Sixteen people were evacuated from seven homes while six residents from three homes chose to stay. Within two weeks of the slide, four evacuated residents returned home. Sixteen residents whose homes were either damaged beyond use or who can’t access their homes remained under the evacuation order until Thursday. Under provincial legislation, such orders can’t remain in place indefinitely. The regional district says the instability of the slide area is “consistent with what can be expected” however its significance can’t be determined because there is no data to compare it to. It also says geotechnical experts advise against trying to bring down the slide debris through controlled means. Although the evacuation order has been lifted, portions of three roads remain closed.

Nelson shooters off to capture images of Abbotsford International Airshow

Three local photography finalists

TAMARA HYND Nelson Star

Nelson area residents Jeff Cepukas, Dena Kubota, and Kevin Underwood are among the finalists for the provincial Your Best Shot photo contest. After sifting through more than 2,100 photographs, judges have narrowed the field down to the top 75 photographers. This is the second year for this contest sponsored by London Drugs and Black Press and run in conjunction with the Abbotsford International Airshow. The contest awards each finalist a free VIP weekend pass to the airshow which runs Aug. 8-10. Kubota’s photo entitled Bumbling Syymetry won her one of the finalist spots. She said she always has a camera on her and missing the ferry home one afternoon led to the photo that gained her a pass to the airshow. Waiting at the ferry dock to Pilot Bay she decided to take macro shots of flowers when a honeybee laden with pollen bumbled onto the yellow sunflower flower she was photographing. “The lighting was good,” she said. Kubota is the owner and operator at the Pilot Bay Resort but takes photographs as reference for her artwork which is mostly pencil portrait and mixed media.

Restorative justice volunteers needed

Dena Kubota’s photograph titled Bumbling Symmetry gained her a finalist spot in a provincial photo contest. After missing the ferry she decided to take macro shots of flowers when a honeybee laden with pollen bumbled onto the yellow sunflower she was photographing.

The Nelson Police Department is making great headway in its search for volunteers for its innovative Restorative Justice Program — and with training slated to begin soon, the NPD is making a last call for all who may still be interested in signing up. The program places would-be law breakers face-to-face with those they’ve affected by their actions, and together,

focused on working at the campground.” She said she’s welcoming the change where “the only focus will be taking pictures for two days”. The finalists will have VIP access to the photo pits for preferred viewing to take photos of all the action. They will also compete for more than $1,500 in prizes and the chance to be named the Next Generation Amateur Photographer of the Year. The two other Nelson finalists could not be reached by press deadline. There will be four categories for the finalists to submit their photographs of the airshow over the weekend. A panel of judges will review the submissions and there will be a viewers choice as well. The full list of finalists is available http://www.abbynews.com/ news/268301522.html. Last year, Black Press received just shy of 2,000 entries for the contest from amateur photographers from Kelowna, Hope, Vancouver and communities around BC. Sixty-seven finalists gathered at the Abbotsford International Airshow, submitting their best photos for the final competition. Last year’s winner was Rod Jones of Abbotsford.

which will run from September through December. Restorative Justice training will run on Saturdays and weekday evenings starting in September. The program is looking for another 10 volunteers.

Pastor Jim Reimer has introduced a proposal to improve the homelessness problem in Nelson by procuring a designated piece of land and using it as a temporary campground for transients. This comes on the heels of the dismantling of the Railtown homeless camp last month, and the release of the Annual Report on Homelessness by the Nelson Council on Homelessness in June. “What strikes me about this is there’s no solution being oﬀered,” Reimer told the Star during an interview last month. “So you evict them from one camp. They’re just going to go somewhere else. Where are they supposed to go?” In an open letter addressed to Mayor John Dooley, Police Chief Wayne Holland and a number of other authorities in Nelson, Reimer summarized his plan as follows: “1. Secure a piece of land outside of city limits. 2. Designate a defined area as a backpacker’s campground. 3. Develop a sanitation station, i.e. outhouse. 4. Establish a garbage bin and regular pickup. 5. Establish a clean water source, i.e. well. 6. Hire a campground supervisor. 7. Secure funding through the Columbia Basin Trust or some other agency.” Reimer said he believes this proposition falls perfectly into the mandate of the Columbia Basin Trust, as that money is earmarked for basin residents. “Most of the people using outdoor camping year-round are locals with multiple barriers,” he said. “They too need our help.” Reimer said he realizes the plan would take a considerable amount of work, and may be less than perfect, but he welcomed any contributions or suggestions. “I am fully aware that much would have to be fleshed out, but if we take a proactive approach we can make a real diﬀerence for the entire community,” he said. Reactions to the plan have been mixed. While many praise Reimer’s intentions, others have questions about the feasibility of such a plan. Some have compared the idea to the farm workers’ camps that have been set up in Keremeos and Oliver. In a letter, to the Star’s sister paper the Keremeos Review, Doe Gregoire, the former local Farmworkers Campground Society chair outlined what had been learned from establishing and running the camp for the past two seasons. “It created a place for those undesirables (one who are not workers) to come up to the camp and set up their own camp within the camp. These individuals were found to be disruptive and aggressive within the

Invitation to Tender Fire Hall Retaining Wall Tender No. 2014-T-13

Last month, a homeless camp in Nelson’s Railtown area was dismantled. Crews had to bring in heavy machinery to clean up the area. File photo camp,” she wrote. Furthermore, once “established the campsite was turned into a party destination with people coming in from all over the Okanagan, leaving the porta potties filled to the brim and extra garbage in and around the dumpsters… all to be dealt with by the meagre funds available.” This is exactly the issue that gives Nelson & District Chamber of Commerce executive director Tom Thomson pause. “Essentially, people find out about the camp before they even get to Nelson,” he said. “We’re an attractive community, obviously. If you were choosing a location to be homeless, you might go hitchhiking until you end up in a place like this. But do we have the infrastructure to take care of everybody?” he asked. He also wondered whether Nelson should be forced to serve those from elsewhere. “Should it be a municipal responsibility to host camp transients potentially from all over Canada?” he asked. Currently, the transient population is putting such stress on local services such

as Our Daily Bread that they’ve been barely able to continue their services for homeless locals, Thomson said, and they’ve had to institute a small fee for warm meals. Nelson Police Chief Wayne Holland said he was skeptical of Reimer’s plan. In particular, he wanted to know how organizers planned to distinguish those in distress from the voluntary residents who flock into the area for music festivals. “We have two sides of the coin to address when we’re dealing with this,” he said. Holland said the police are “hopeful to be part of the solution”, but if the campground is located on Crown Land they’ll have no jurisdiction or involvement. “We want to be there to help and be a voice in the resolution,” he said. “I think [Reimer’s} idea is laudable, but I have more questions than answers at this point.” City councillor Donna MacDonald also expressed reservations about the plan, though she agreed something has to be done to address the growing issue.

Copper theft

OF THE WEEK Should the BC government compensate all affected Johnsons Landing home owners?

When I worked on the railway, we used copper plated steel wires brazed (cadwelded) to the rails as a bond. I can’t imagine the work involved in collecting short chunks of stranded, copper-plated wire. Idiots! Dave Bartle

To answer, go to nelsonstar.com

The additional problem of the safety of others comes to mind. Ground wires are there for a reason — to give electrical current an alternative pathway. In the case of a short circuit, lightning strike, or electrical surge, those ground wires are crucial. Dirk Jonker

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Are you planning to attend this year’s Shambhala Music Festival?

The amount of money received at a scrap yard for that stolen copper wouldn’t make it worth the effort to steal it. And for those people who are considering theft of installed copper wire, remember that you are endangering yourself and others. Google the images for “copper thieves killed”. WARNING!: graphic and disturbing imagery. Oh, and P.S. — not cool stealing from anyone, and especially not volunteer organizations! Jessie Smit

Let’s win the ‘keep Jumbo Wild’ fight

his summer, the temperature isn’t the only thing heating up. The fight for Jumbo Wild is sure to heat up as the proponent’s days become numbered. This October, Jumbo Glacier Resorts (JGR) will lose its environmental certificate necessary to continue pursuing its goal if it does not build something “substantive.” The legislation is clear and the one extension allowable under the law was granted in 2009. The court decisions have also been clear in what is “substantive” construction. That said, JGR is under extreme pressure to build something substantive before October. We are under the same pressure to stop them. My colleague Norm Macdonald, the MLA for Columbia River-Revelstoke, and I have been using every tool in the Legislature to voice the region’s desire for a Jumbo Wild. Recently, Norm sent a letter asking the government for details about the ways in which they have been monitoring and approving the many environmental conditions JGR has to meet prior to construction. We’re wanting the government to rely on more than a self-report by JGR. E-MAIL LETTERS TO: editor@nelsonstar.com DROP OFF/MAIL: 514 Hall Street, Nelson, BC V1L 1Z2 Phone 250-352-1890

Of course, it is not just your local MLAs who have been standing up for Jumbo Wild. Local advocacy groups have been at the forefront of the work to keep Jumbo Wild, and their ongoing dedication requires our support. Most importantly, the Ktunaxa have been clear that they will not let go of their spirituality and scared places, and they especially need our support in an era of reconciliation. Keeping Jumbo Wild has been our local call for more than half my lifetime, and now is no time to stop. Presently, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations is repairing the road to Jumbo Pass trailhead after it was washed out and covered with avalanches in several locations. Once this work is done, JGR will commence its road work with plans to replace a bridge that was

removed with the purpose to protect the area from vehicle access that was having negative impacts. While this is going on, the fake town of Jumbo’s Mayor and Council is quickly passing zoning permits for a ski lift and day lodge in the Jumbo Valley. The public meeting is set for 9:30 a.m. August 6 in Radium (because, of course, there are no people or buildings in Jumbo). It therefore appears that JGR has abandoned last year’s plan for developing a “boutique hotel” on Farnham Glacier. But, I am sure that the fake town appreciated all of the paperwork from last and this year to justify the funding they get from the Liberal government. I find it most interesting that while we have steadfastly said no to a ski resort on Jumbo, new ski hills like Golden’s

Reporters

Kicking Horse Resort have fully developed and now enjoy skiers on the slopes because the region wanted them. Others like our local Whitewater Winter Resort have expanded, and we enjoy the backside chair. This goes to show that our preference for a Jumbo Wild isn’t because we don’t like skiing and outdoor recreation, but because JGR is a wrong-headed development. Nevertheless, its few backers keep pushing it through long after the proposal should have died a natural death. They have their friend Liberal MLA Bill Bennett helping them every step of the way. And I will not let it go unsaid that his government’s lack of responsibility to the public in favour of a few friends is irresponsible at best. With time ticking, it is this summer that our winter sport, our local economy and our environment need us all. Keeping Jumbo Wild has been our fight for more than 23 years. Let’s win it. — Michelle Mungall is the MLA for Nelson- Creston. She appears in the Nelson Star once a month.

Opinion

Wayne Germaine Serving Nelson & Area Since 1987.

Composting an unresolved issue While Tom Prior’s letter regarding EarthMatters’ summer program at regional markets raised some good points, I would hope that local governments, the West Kootenay EcoSociety, and the public all understand that composting and waste reduction is an unresolved and pressing issue in our region. Volunteer enabled education projects with limited budgets like this are certainly not purporting to be any permanent solution. Education projects can be effective at moving us forward. However, education is an important element because whatever the end structure,we as citizens will need to make composting part of our everyday lives in order to reduce organic wastes. Mr. Prior asserts that the West Kootenay EcoSociety should focus on political pressure rather than education or entrepreneurial efforts to accomplish the goal of zero waste. West Kootenay EcoSociety uses a variety of strategies to pro-

tect the environment while building a just and sustainable community. At times, we apply political pressure, while other times we cooperate with local government to deliver needed programs, and other times we develop social enterprises such as the Downtown Market to meet community needs while supporting other efforts. The EarthMatters program has a long history of community education and engagement, and is a logical addition to West Kootenay EcoSociety’s already expansive portfolio. West Kootenay EcoSociety has been involved in waste diversion for many years, starting with operation of the Nelson Recycling Depot. In part because of the education and engagement we foster, Nelson now has a high rate of participation in the blue bag recycling program. We hope that by playing a leadership and educational role at local and regional markets, advocating for functional and integrated waste reduction strategies,

and fostering cooperative relationships between government, civil society, and local business it might be possible to achieve the same level of community participation with composting. We invite everyone to drop by the Wednesday markets and talk to our compost educator Heather about regional composting and recycling. As part of the EcoSociety’s near-term goal of zero waste at the markets and to promote waste reduction regionally, she will be gathering information from various sources throughout the summer. You can also visit ecosociety. ca/earthmatters. Thanks to the supporters of this project for helping enable our community’s capacity in this regard, and Mr. Prior for his letter encouraging discussion about this important topic. Bruce Edson EarthMatters Project, West Kootenay EcoSociety

LVR students turned Woodbury Glacier into a classroom

News

Leadership course a cool experience In order to learn about leadership, six young Nelson men recently turned Woodbury Glacier into their classroom. In late June, the L.V. Rogers Secondary students participated in a three-day mountaineering expedition. The trip was a first step in developing a core group of senior male students who will help create opportunities for younger males to better engage in school and community life. The statistics are concerning. Fewer males are completing high school, continuing on to post-secondary and earning scholarships or other opportunities. The traditional leadership classes and roles at LVR are attracting few males. “The expedition was a challenge because it brought us to an environment that was new and unfamiliar for many of us,” explained participant Tibo Kolmel. “Leadership requires knowing what it is like to feel unsure of yourself and out of your element, and pushing past that fear.” “Most of us got to that place at some point on the trip,” said Kayden Foy. With funding from Mountain Equipment Co-op and the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides, certified guide Shaun King was hired to lead the expedition. Regional District of Central Koo-

Growing problem across the country

tenay directors Ramona Faust and Ron Mickel, LVR’s Legacy Fund, the LVR Parent Advisory Council and the Nelson and District Credit Union provided the remaining funds.

“We really came together as a team,” said Galen Boulanger. “We were roped together as we crossed the glacier so you had to communicate and move in sync with each other.”

Continued from Page 5 “I’d like to see some models and examples of where this has worked in other communities,” she said. She seconded Holland’s observation about the distinction between the authentically homeless and temporary visitors. “It’s the whole one size doesn’t fit all thing,” she said. She said in principle she wasn’t against the Occupy movement’s encampment on city hall last year, but it created a number of issues and concerns (including women’s safety) that weren’t anticipated.

“It’s not a simple thing to create a campsite and say ‘here you go’,” she said. MacDonald said the homelessness issue is too complex for a municipal government to tackle on its own. “Across the country we’re seeing a growing problem with homelessness. I’m talking about the genuinely homeless. This is spilling out on to our streets and into our parks and on to our land. The federal government in particular, and the provincial government as well, they’ve walked away from the problem.”

July 30, 2014 For the benefit of Kootenay Lake area residents, the following lake levels are provided by FortisBC as a public service. Queen’s Bay:

Present level: 1743.91 ft. 7 day forecast: Down 7 to 9 inches. 2014 peak:1750.37 ft. / 2013 peak:1749.42 ft.

Nelson:

Present level: 1743.15 ft. 7 day forecast: Down 7 to 9 inches.

The group recently met with male community leaders whose backgrounds are in business, politics, community service and education. They discussed leadership and ideas for how to support younger males.

Levels can change unexpectedly due to weather or other conditions. For more information or to sign-up for unusual lake levels notifications by phone or email, visit www.fortisbc.com or call 1-866-436-7847.

“It was amazing to hear that the community leaders are excited by what we are doing and willing to help us,” said Aigne McGeadyBruce. “This is all pretty new to me so I really appreciate their support.” Boulanger and Dunavan MorrisJanzen are currently leading the effort to organize Keep The Beat, a youth-initiated music event fundraiser for War Child Canada, which will be held at Lakeside Park on August 23. The group is also discussing how they can support the incoming Grade 9 males make the transition to high school, particularly in light of the ongoing uncertainty created by the strike. “I am aware of how much support I have received from the community, in particular the many strong male mentors who have helped me along the way,” reflected Micah May whose godfather, Leo Jansma, helped out on the trip. “It is time for me to give back. I hope to help younger guys better understand the opportunities that exist for them, provided they are willing to work hard and be open to the support they may need.” Clearly young males are willing to step up to the challenges of leadership, but we need to reach out to them in ways that work for them. In this case, an ice axe and safety harness were necessary tools for the job.

MacDonald said she appreciates Reimer’s work in the community, but doesn’t think his plan will succeed. “We support the good work he is doing. Our Daily Bread is a really important facility in our community and he’s a very enthusiastic person. Who knows? Jim seems to gets things done, much to other people’s surprise.” However, she said, the solution will have to come through collaboration with a number of agencies in town. Thomson agreed. “We need to find a longer term solution,” he said.

Kaslo-based artist Brent Bukowski has a new show opening at the Kootenay Gallery on August 8. Submitted photo

Reclaiming his works The Kootenay Gallery will open an exhibition of work by Kaslobased artist Brent Bukowski on Friday, August 8. What some may see only as a scrap yard full of discarded material, Bukowski sees as a source of endless possibilities; the results are intricate, refined sculptures created out of these found objects, pieces of metal and broken glass. They become statements that reference global themes from the perspective of a simple and secluded lifestyle in the mountains of the West Kootenays. Self taught, he has learned by doing such things

as designing and building his own home and garden. Many will recognize his work from the Railtown bridge installation in Nelson made from wheels and cogs reclaimed from a century of traffic that have passed over the bridge. The exhibition titled, Call and Response will include selected pieces from two bodies of work. Blunt Force Illumination is an installation based on a 20-sided form, the icosahedron, constructed from both equilateral triangle and circular frameworks. By incorporating LED lighting,

Common name: Dwarf or Miniature Conifers Botanical Names: Abies, Arborvitae, Pinus, Picea and others Most people are fascinated with dwarf or miniature plants. Just like other specialty plants, dwarf conifers can become collector’s items. In the landscape these small plants can be used in special beds, troughs, raised beds or containers. They can be used when designing gardens with small spaces, condominiums, or Japanese gardens. They combine well with heathers and alpines. They can also be used instead of statuary as in the case of trained topiaries. These conifers can provide year round interest in our gardens and can serve well in both formal and informal settings. Dwarf conifer is a relative term, but is a plant that doesn’t grow to the normal size of the species or takes many

years to do so. Pruning these to maintain size and shape is relatively easy but you must follow some ‘rules of thumb’. Pines can be controlled in size and shape by pruning the new growth called candles before they open to new needles. Spruce and Fir can be trimmed just in front of the ‘fat’ growth buds. These buds will start new branches the following year. Yew and Hemlock have latent growth buds on most branches and can be pruned or sheared most of the year. Arborvitae and Junipers can be controlled by shearing new growth almost to their point of origin, trim after the flush of new growth occurs. Until new week, keep cool and keep watering your plants - it’s going to be HOT!

the metal and glass compositions will be illuminated from the inside. A Piece of the Pie is a reaction to the ever increasing world culture of consumption. As Bukowski states, “The notion of further processing the by-product generated from materials already once reclaimed, appeals to me on many levels. It speaks volumes in terms of sustainability, a theme that is consistent throughout my work in the visual arts”. The exhibit will run until September 20.

Kevin Armstrong will perform two different opera shows Submitted photo in two nights.

Locally-raised, international opera and musical singer Kevin Armstrong will be performing his popular one-man show Opera for Heathens on Friday, August 8, as well as his solo performance of the Who’s Tommy on Saturday, August 9. Both shows start at 8 p.m. and are at the new Cafe Momento (535 Baker Street). Admission is $10. Opera for Heathens, was a hit at the 2011 Edmonton International Fringe Festival playing to sold-out houses at the famed Yardbird Suite, as well as the 2012 Vancouver Fringe. “It is a beautiful and often electrifying display,” wrote the Vue Weekly, Edmonton, and critic Colin Maclean said “I had a joyous experience... He had us all singing about that illusive fellow Figaro, while he mounted some of the most frenzied picking this side of Nashville... Kevin Armstrong’s Opera for Heathens is a wonderfully entertaining hour.” The Who’s Tommy released in 1969, was a milestone recording, virtually inventing the genre of rock opera. The story follows the titular character’s mystical experiences after losing all senses after a childhood trauma. He eventually becomes a messianic figure through his amazing pinball prowess, and he builds a hue cult following, only to eventually see it collapse from under him. Come and enjoy one of Nelson’s most dynamic performers.

While traveling through Israel looking for models for his latest art project, Nelson sculptor Dennis Kleine was told about a tiny village called Neve Shalom, approximately halfway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv on the Israel side of the border. The cooperative community was founded in 1984 by Israeli Jews and PalestianIsraeli Arabs in an attempt to prove that they could live peacefully side-by-side. Its name comes from Isaiah 32:18 and translates to “oasis of peace”. As most are well aware, peace is currently a scarcity in the conflicted region, and Kleine was intrigued about what he might find there. So along with Dutch sculptor Marielle Heessels, he travelled there to see it firsthand. “We met some very special people there,” said Kleine, who was looking for participants for his Peace Symbol Project. As it turned out, he realized that the village was a perfect example of the type of co-existence his art project is meant to encourage. Using both Palestinian and Israeli hand models, the Kootenay School of Arts teacher envisions a bronze sculpture that will feature human figures and a circle of interlinked hands 12-feet in diameter. To accomplish this, he had to travel to the Middle East and convince perfect strangers to stick their hands in a bag of alginate. He ultimately ended up with 20, including the hand of his taxi driver Ayoube. Their names will ultimately be inscribed on the base of

the structure. “The people were so friendly. They were very, very receptive and supportive,” said Kleine. Kleine is collaborating with Israeli sculptor Gadi Fraiman and Heessels, but more people are getting involved all the time. Kleine said he’s been inundated with suggestions and feedback, and he figures the concept will continue to evolve. “I started it on my own, but this project has an energy of its own,” said Kleine, who has since been convinced to incorporate more hands around the base. These hands

will represent support and love from people worldwide, including Nelson. Now that Kleine has returned to the Kootenay, he will team up with Kevin Galloway of Across the Board creations to produce the recreations of the hands using a 3D printer. “This is where the computer world comes in. It’s really revolutionized things,” said Kleine. Though generally feedback for the project has been overwhelmingly positive, Kleine noted that many of the Palestinians were skeptical of peace talk. “There’s been so much conflict for so long,” said Kleine. “They’re a little bit cynical about peace. To them, it’s a joke. It’s just talk. It’s only ever been talk.” Kleine said he was unfamiliar with the conflict when he first started, but he’s had a quick introduction to the politics of the area. He began work on the sculpture long before the recent violence erupted in Gaza, but said the conflict shows reconciliation is a more important message than ever. “Both sides need to be talking,” he said. While visiting a refugee camp in Bethlehem, located on the West Bank, Kleine visited a school where a Canadian man was teaching English to Palestinians. He found some models, then decided to come back on another day to see his new friend’s land. As it happened, that day a number of outsiders entered his friend’s land backed up by Israeli army. “I didn’t know anything about this. But this is land they’d owned outright, been Continued on Page 15

Latest book inspired by Pablo Neruda

Winlaw poet celebrates winter Will Johnson

Tom Wayman composed much of his latest book of poetry Winter’s Skin while cross-country skiing along the Slocan Valley Rail Trail in the dead of winter. “I would be thinking about my poems while crosscountry skiing. Often there was nobody around. In late afternoon, completely alone and surrounded by nature, it was the perfect environment,” he said. Wayman was primarily ruminating on the work of Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, of whom he is a long-time admirer. He used it to inspire his own art. “Neruda was a writer I always found evocative,” he said. “This book was a concept book in that I re-read a copy of one of his posthumous books, a little one of 20 poems, called Winter Garden. I set myself the task of reading each poem from that series. Then I let whatever was going to happen, happen.” He said there was no set process. He just allowed the words to direct him. “In reading, something usually twigged in me, maybe something oblique. And that would send me on my way,” he said. The natural world features prominently in Wayman’s writing, and the poems are accompanied by wintry images of his spectacular Kootenay surroundings. That being said, it’s not all about snow. “I spent a lot of my time in Vancouver, so there are some rainy poems too,” he said, with a laugh. Wayman said the content of the book addresses “winters both literal and metaphorical”. “There’s an unhappy love aﬀair, it starts with excitement and ends badly, like most of them do. That arc takes place in winter,” he said. Neruda was a ripe source for inspiration, Wayman said. At times he would draw from a phrase or an image, other times an entire poem. In a few cases he’s chosen to include an epigraph, but he elected to keep them in Spanish. “A friend of mine told me you never want to have an epigraph that’s better than your writing. By keeping it in Spanish, I avoid that,” he said. Wayman has already written 18 books of poetry, three books of fiction and two books of essays. He got his start in journalism, but decided to segue into poetry because he was frustrated by the restrictions of the form. “Poetry covers more of the world that you could do with daily journalism. I found that very intriguing. It’s zen in that whenever you wrote for the paper a billion people would read it, even though its a narrow range of human activity. With poetry, the sky’s the limit in terms of human experience, but nobody reads it,” he said.

Winlaw writer Tom Wayman recently released his book Winter’s Skin, which is inspired by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda’s writing. Tamara Hynd photo Wayman believes that poetry is still a relevant art form, though it’s currently lacking in cultural cachet. He credits it for helping the women’s movement, the protests against the Vietnam War and for depicting social realities that otherwise may go overlooked. One of his primary passions is exploring workplace realities through his poems. “Work is central to people’s lives and the literature should reflect that.” Wayman has worked primarily as a teacher, and one of his most famous poems is called “Did I Miss Anything?” “It’s a hate poem,” he said. “There’s lots of love in teaching, but there’s also a lot of hate. That’s a phrase that students use that used to drive me crazy. Think of the assumptions built into that sentence. The poem is a bunch of real snarky responses. It’s gotten incredible widespread coverage.” Winter’s Skin is available wherever books are sold.

in the family for generations and these Israelis showed up on their land, planting trees. The army shows, but it’s backing up the Israeli people. I don’t get it,” he said. He was shocked to learn of the lack of UN presence, and said he was shown homes that had been abandoned as people fled the area. “All of this is meant to bring attention to the fact, that something, who knows what, needs to be done,” he said.

Donations are pouring in for the Capitol Theatre’s latest fundraising initiative, which will support the new season starting on September 2. “We have exciting shows coming. We’ve bought new equipment, lighting and sound, and we have a couple of companies who will take full advantage of our new technical equipment,” said Stephanie Fischer, executive director of the Capitol. “Getting these sponsorships enhances our season.” Community members have been invited to purchase a seat at $100 a pop. The donation will land supporters’ names on a plaque at the back of the theatre. Of the 426 available seats, they have sold approximately 80. In some instances, multiple generations have donated. “We’ve got three generations of a family who have all purchased seats here,” said Heather Haake, chair of the fundraising committee. “Daisy Lee and her parents and kids are all on here,” she said, pointing out their names to the Star. “We’re going to hit up Jesse Lee, the bass player. If we could get him to buy for him and [his son] Kyran we’ll have five!” Mayor John Dooley and former Mayor Louis Maglio’s son Tony were also on hand Tuesday afternoon. Both purchased multiple

seats, and Maglio also contributed a substantial financial sum to support the Capitol Kids series. “We bought them in our parents’ names, Louis and Laura,” said Maglio. “They were strong supporters of the Capitol Theatre and we wanted to keep their legacy going.” Maglio said his children Megan, Brandon and Alexander have all performed in shows there, and he considers the theatre an important community asset. “It was always in my Mom and Dad’s heart,” he said. Dooley said he attends the

Capitol regularly with his wife, and was recently wowed by the musical Chicago. “I was surprised by the level of talent we could collect in our community. I wasn’t surprised at the calibre, but I was surprised by the number of people who were available and the professional qualities they had on stage.” He said the Capitol is a significant highlight of Nelson. “When Tony’s Dad was mayor, he felt a similar connection to the Capitol. It’s not only an asset for his family to enjoy. It’s got a terrific vibe about it, it’s built a great reputation over the years that a lot of young people come here to develop their skills,” said Dooley. To make a donation or to purchase a seat, contact the Capitol Theatre at 250-352-6363.

Planning can make the night perfect Planning a night out on the town with family and friends can be a fun experience. Scouring the most popular hotspots and the newest restaurants falls far short of burdensome, and those tasked with such a responsibility often enjoy the opportunity to get out of the house and soak up some local culture. As fun as such planning can be, hosts must consider the needs of all who plan to attend before making any final decisions. The following are a few ways hosts can ensure everyone enjoys a night to remember for all the right reasons. Consider finances: Dinner out might sound like a grand idea, but hosts must consider if such a feast is affordable for everyone on the invitation list. Some restaurants can be expensive, so hosts should make sure everyone can afford such hotspots before making any reservations. Peruse menus online when looking for a restaurant, paying particular attention to the average cost of an entree at each restaurant you’re considering. Choose a central location: Whether you’re getting together for a sit-down dinner or just drinks, choose a location that’s easily accessible for everyone on the guest list. Doing so increases the likelihood that guests will make it out. A location that’s near to all also allows both you and your guests to spend more time together and less time traveling. Consider the needs of every guest: When planning a night on the town, hosts must consider the needs of each individual guest before making any reservations or concrete plans. For example, if the group includes a guest with a physical disability, then any gathering spot you choose must be wheelchair accessible and have wheelchair accessible restrooms. Another thing to consider is each guest’s lifestyle choices. If one guest does not consume alcohol,

Planning a night out on the town is a fun responsibility, but also one that requires careful consideration of a host of factors. then try to organize a night out on the town that involves more than just hopping from bar to bar. Solicit ideas: If you’re having trouble planning a fun night for all, solicit some ideas from those you invited. Just because you’re hosting the gathering and acting as the go-to guy or gal for those with questions about the night does not mean you can’t ask some questions of your own. Ask guests what they want to do, and remember that

if you still think Tequila was made for shots, you really need to visit.

no idea is too outlandish. If you decide to center the night around a particular activity, just make sure it’s something everyone on the guest list can participate in. Be specific: Once all of the plans have been made, be as specific as possible when sharing those plans. Give an address for each place you plan to visit on the night. Charge your cellular phone right before you head out for the night so the phone does not die should anyone call and ask for last-minute directions or instructions.

Cilantro Pesto Grilled Shrimp Ingredients:

Instructions:

About 20 medium size shrimp (Peeled & De-veined) 7 x 8’ wooden skewers

Add all pesto ingredients in a food processor, except for olive oil. Blend and gradually pour in olive oil. Season with about ¼ tsp. sea salt and ¼ tsp. fresh ground pepper. Done.

Cilantro Pesto Recipe: Makes 2 cups 2 bunches cilantro – packed 2 c baby spinach – packed 1 lemon – zested 1/2 lemon – juiced 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts – toast in a dry heated saute pan for 3-4 minutes stirring periodically until browned 1/4 c grated Parmesan cheese 1 1/2 c olive oil sea salt and ground pepper for taste

DIRECTIONS FOR SHRIMP SKEWERS: Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 2 hours. This will help prevent them from going up in flames when they hit the grill. Toss the shrimp in about half of the cilantro pesto sauce and put aside the other half for later. I prefer to marinate the shrimp in the pesto sauce first for at least 2 hours in the fridge, but you do not have to. Once marinated, skewer 3 shrimp on each skewer. You can of course use larger metal skewers if you prefer. The skewers are really only for cooking purposes so you don’t end up loosing some shrimp on the grill. On a preheated hot grill, sear each skewer for 2 minutes each side until shrimp turn opaque and are firm to the touch. Remove shrimp from grill and serve on (or off ) skewer with drizzled pesto on top. Perfectly paired with chicken or fish and field greens salad.

There are no appointments necessary and there is no need to prepare a song; everyone will learn a song and a dance throughout the audition. The Capitol Panto Auditions customarily attract over 100 performers for around 50 parts. “Pantomimes are designed for a multi-age audience, so there’s something for everyone to enjoy, from physical comedy and one-liners, to all the singing and dancing that are traditionally seen in this type of show” says Stephanie Fischer, the Capitol Theatre’s Executive Director. The Christmas Pantomime is a Nelson tradition that features a cast of approximately 50 comprised of local community players ranging in age from 6–60 and there’s no better way to kick start the holiday season than to come out to the Panto with your family and boo, cheer and laugh along with your fellow Nelsonites onstage. It truly is a mainstay of local theatre. “We are thrilled to announce that the Kootenay Coop is again sponsoring this year’s show” says Fischer. The Kootenay Coop is an important community asset and takes heaps of pleasure and pride in their role as investors in the well-being of our community as a way to share their success with everyone. The Panto is an annual fundraising event for the Capitol Theatre Restoration Society and is an integral part of its continued operation. Come on out and be a part of a local tradition by auditioning for the big show. Call 250 352-6363 for information or email capitoltheatre.bc.ca beginning of September. The theatre will be closed August 12-26

Spin Off Oxygen Art Centre is pleased to present new work by Victorian artist Megan Dickie. Spin Off is a sculpture and video installation. The video references the format of video games; flat, multi-leveled obstacle courses that are traversed by a character who continually fails and reattempts the challenges. The video is comprised of three levels, and each level is built from large scale, absurd sculptures. The artist is the character who crisscrosses through the impediments and her own physical failure becomes the entertainment. The exhibiton opens Friday August 8th at 7pm and Megan’s artist talk is Saturday August 9 at 1pm during the Columbia Basin Culture Tour. Admission is free and everyone is welcome. www.oxygenartcentre.org

Soccer star DeMerit coming to Nelson

Former Whitecaps and US captain Jay DeMerit will be joining the Nelson Skills Camp for one day for a question and answer session with the players attending the course. “We are really excited about it,” said Brett Adams, regional head coach of the Whitecaps’ Kootenay Academy Centre. “To bring out somebody like Jay, I mean it is unbelievable.” Adams said it is a great achievement for Nelson Youth Soccer to attract an international star like DeMerit. “ It is a Whitecaps camp that we’re running, but obviously Nelson Youth Soccer are backing us and wanting us to bring guests like this.” Adams expects local players will be thrilled with the opportunity to meet DeMerit. “For somebody of this magnitude and this experience, going to a World Cup in 2010, it’s just unbelievable. These kids are going to be inspired.” Former Vancouver Whitecaps and US captain Jay DeMerit will be in Nelson this DeMerit has made 71 MLS appearances for VancouWeb photo ver, 69 of them starts. month to attend the Nelson soccer skills camp.

An inspiring character who rose from obscurity to earn a contract – and eventually, a starring role in the English Premier League – with Watford FC, DeMerit spent time with the Chicago Fire’s PDL team before trying his hand in England. There, he worked his way up the ranks from lower-tier amateur leagues to the glitz and glamor of the EPL. His remarkable journey was made into a documentary film called Rise and Shine: The Jay DeMerit Story. DeMerit was a key member of the US national team from 2007-10. He anchored the back line during their memorable runs in the 2009 Confederations Cup and 2010 FIFA World Cup. DeMerit has now retired from playing professional soccer. Players on the course will get to ask DeMerit questions about his career. “It’s not every day you get to meet someone that has played against Lional Messi,” said Adams. The Nelson Skills Camp takes place August 12-14 at Lakeside Park. For information visitwhitecapsfc.com.

Cyswog’n’Fun triathlon runs this weekend

Diamond :‘It’s not about the medals’ Will Johnson Nelson Star

Con Diamond has won more medals at the Nelson Cyswog’n’Fun triathlon than any other participant in the history of the event. Years ago he even shared gold with his wife Linda Jamison, and he rarely misses the annual event. He estimates he’s raced in over 20 triathlons, if not more. But he said the medals are beside the point. “It’s very well run. I think if you’re going to give away medals, you should give them to the volunteers and the people who organize it. It’s a great venue, it’s good to see people come out and build teams. It’s just a really nice atmosphere.” The Sunday race, which begins at Lakeside Park at 8 a.m., is broken down into two categories: short course and long course also known as sprint and Olympic distance courses. The short course race consists of a 500 metre swim, 22 km cycle and a 5 km run. The long course is nearly double that, with a 1.5 km swim, 39 km cycle and 10 km run. The 66-year-old athlete primarily

Con Diamond will be one of the many racers in this Sunday’s Nelson Cyswog’n’Fun Triathlon. focuses on the cycling component of the event. “I’m not a very good swimmer. I’m a long time in the water. I’m a good cyclist because that’s what I do year round. When I come out of the water there’s no bikes left on

the racks, but then I catch a bunch of people on the bike and suffer through the run.” Regardless of the pain, he said he enjoys every aspect of the race. “The whole thing is a beautiful run and the cycling is really pretty.

It’s a great place to go for a ride and a run.” He said his advice to those who are considering participating this year: “Race now, train later.” “Just try it. If you haven’t invested a whole year of training you just go Presented by:

around, and if it doesn’t work for you then you can train next year,” he said. And since the emphasis is on fun, and bringing together athletes from the community, those who aren’t as competitive will still have a great time.

Don’t be fooled by the small town name; the lineup of musicians at this weekend’s 23rd annual Kaslo Jazz Festival is full of award winning musicians, including Juno award recipient George Leach. The festival will be extra special this weekend as Current Swell takes the floating stage at 9 p.m. on Friday night. Hailing from Victoria the sexy group of men will wrap your mind and ears with a variety of beats with elements of folk, reggae and blues sometimes described as “surf rock”. The group played last year at the Wapiti Music Festival in Fernie, where they preceded to captivate the entire crowd. If your lucky, they may serenade the audience with Brad’s Song, a lovely and touching tribute to their late funloving and colourful friend who passed away too young. For those who haven’t heard them yet, now’s the chance to feel the magic of this indie rock sensation. They will get you dancing. On Saturday, Matt Schofield will be on the floating stage. Schofield is a big name as he is now exploding on the international stage. Organizers said, “We are lucky enough to have booked him for the Kaslo Jazz Festival in this narrow window of time, during which he is still within our reach. Soon, very soon, Schofield will be among

Compassion Gorilla plays at Kayu’s Café in Winlaw on August 16.

Café will be rocking in August Kayu’s Café in Winlaw has several acts coming in the next few weeks. Mooves will be happening on Saturday, August 2 at 9 p.m. Mooves is bass music for those who like good music! It’s family night on Sunday, August 3 when the Read Family Band performs at 7 p.m. The Read Family Band is comprised of Nick, Madelyn and Savannah Read. Sweet acoustic covers as well as original songs. They’ll be joined by their DJ sidekick Joel Crawford. The Gabriel Palatchi Band will be performing on August 8 at Kayu’s Café. This amazing keyboardist will front a trio of musicians. With deep roots in Afro-Cuban and Latin jazz, Gabriel has fused

Sci-fi audio book

Adapting Warpworld

Will Johnson

Nelson Star

Nelson author Kristene Perron and her co-writer Joshua Simpson are currently working on adapting their popular science fiction book Warpworld into an audio version utilizing local facilities and actors, including performer Lucas Myers. “I like to tell people we write science fiction while using science fact,” said Perron of the series, which currently has two of five titles complete. The most recent one, Wasteland Renegades, was released in 2013. “We could’ve just gone out there and hired somebody, but I really wanted to do this in Nelson because we have so much talent here, and I love the idea of collaborating,” said Perron. “So I approached Lucas Myers and asked him if he would be interested in being in it, and choosing some of the actors.” They ultimately want approximately four voices to bring their book, which is often compared to legendary novel Dune, to life. “The audio book world is just exploding. It’s the big new thing in publishing,” she said. Local composer Don MacDonald has agreed to donate a short musical score to serve as an intro and an outro to the text. “The great thing about the audio book world now is actors in Nelson, they’re not confined by geography. They can compete for jobs with anyone in the world. And it’s a lucrative career,” she said. Perron is also passionate about self-publishing, and is teaching a workshop on the topic at Oxygen Arts Centre on November 15 and 16, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The pair are currently working on the third book in their series. The first two are available for sale from Otter Books.

Bringing to you our weekly words.

Who will speak for the poor? I was speaking with a businessman yesterday and he intimated that those who are struggling with poverty issues were themselves to blame. Essentially it was “their fault.” This is often what people think. Let us consider some of the reasons for poverty. Family Origin If you had the good fortunate to be born in a family of wealth the chances are you will have access to better education, sports programs, better quality of food, and access to greater resources and opportunities. I say “good fortune” as where and to whom you were born is something you did not have a choice in. I know there are those that beat the odds. Some have climbed out of the ghetto and become millionaires as sports stars, business tycoons, or celebrities. But these cases are not the norm, but rather an exception to the rule. Family Break Up Marital failure creates poverty and puts a huge burden on single parents and children. Income is split, emotional resources are depleted, and child stability is challenged. This can result in poor marks, social dysfunction and behavioural issues for children from broken homes. A Branch of the Mother Church in Boston MA All of which can put a child on the path to poverty. Mental Health and Addictions This is fast becoming the number one reason for poverty. Housing for the mentally ill, those 9:30 am at the Anglican Church on Busk Rd. marginalized and disenfranchised is near impossible, resulting in homelessness. Recently up to 100 people were living in a makeshift camp on Hwy 3 near Nelson. All of these folks were For information 250-229-5237 individuals that were unable to or unwilling for various reasons to obtain suitable housing. On Tuesday July 15th 2014, at the direction of the Ministry of Highways and Canadian Pacific Railroad, the police raided, demolished, and confiscated their camp. I ask the question, where will they go? The interesting thing is that most of us are one cheque away from being in the same situation. People living on disability income receive a maximum of $906 per month. A one-bedroom apartment is between $550 and $750 a month. I would suggest that any mentally healthy person would find it difficult live on 906 Rides dollars per month. Sabbath (Saturday) Services available! What should be our response to poverty? Please 10 am Bible study/discussion God has always been concerned about the poor. He even provided in the Old Testament law join 11 am Worship Service us at for the disenfranchised.

will separate the “sheep” from the “goats.” Now of course, we evangelicals know that the sheep are Christ’s followers, while the goats are not. How will Jesus sort out the crowd before him? This parable makes it is clear what sheep do and what goats do. Those that are sheep will: * Give food and drink to the hungry * Make room for the stranger * Clothe the needy * Care for the sick * Visit people in prison (which is code language for showing hospitality and love to social outcasts) The goats, meanwhile, will not-and will make excuses why they don’t. “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world” (Matt. 25:34). We need to speak up for the poor. We need to create opportunities for the poor to lift themselves up. We need to stop making excuses for our inaction and take responsibility for those around us. The church today will be blessed if we take up this mandate as a fundamental mission of the church. We will be blessed in eternity as well. Jim Reimer of Kootenay Christian Fellowship

Evans slated to speak

Get out of the box with Corky Evans next Thursday at the Café Langham in Kaslo. Evans will be the third speaker of the Langham Café - Inspired Ideas Speaker Series on August 7. The local farmer, activist, storyteller and former MLA, will take to the podium at 7 p.m. to deliver a talk on what Evans describes as, “food and farming and stuff like that”. Evans is currently a farmer, care-taking the land and growing local food for many folks in the West Kootenay region.

Following his retirement from the provincial legislature in 2009 he continues to be busy and committed to community, growing organic garlic, squash, potatoes and home-raised turkeys. Sean Holman founding editor of the pioneering online investigative political news service Public Eye, called Evans a maverick legislator. From his retirement speech, Evans encouraged his colleagues to “refuse to say words that are not your own. You are not an actor; an election is not a screen test. You

wouldn’t let anybody else put you in a box, so don’t do it to yourself.” Evans lives by his words. The Langham invites the public to his talk, “Out of the Box”, one that is sure to be engaging, interesting and entertaining. The speaker series is a part of the Langham Cultural Society’s 40th anniversary celebrations, celebrating local folks who have something interesting to say. Upcoming talks include a panel discussion on sustainability in the arts in rural communities on September 25.

Columbia Basin event features dozens of local artisans

Artists open studios for cultural tour The Columbia Basin Culture Tour allows the public to explore artists’ studios, museums, art galleries and heritage sites during a free, self-guided event. The tour runs August 9 and 10 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. You can travel to studios and archives that aren’t normally open, see demonstrations, new exhibitions and collections or meet people behind the scenes. To participate in the tour, simply grab a map, your culture tour directory and go. In Nelson’s Rosemont area visit Tea Preville, a member of the FCA, to view her knife-painting landscapes in oil. Carol Reynolds creates paintings of Nelson; her home and unending inspiration. She will have many paintings on display, as well as the return of the popular “bargain deck”. Also on Munro Street are Richard Dudley and Robert Dudley. Painting has been a lifelong passion for Richard and since retiring he has devoted a sustained effort towards painting landscapes. Robert creates functional and decorative accessories for the home and person. Andrea Gardner’s studio is also close by, where you can view her recent tree and forest paintings, figure drawings and works in progress. During the tour, Andrea will be providing the opportunity to experiment with acrylic paints and try inking and printing a linoleum print. Visit Kim Horroks Ceramics, located on Hoover Street, where Kim works with clay full time and loves the outdoor life the Kootenay region offers, and which helps her to return to the studio to produce inspired work. As you make your way downtown stop and visit Charissa Alain-Lilly who uses natural materials such as silver-

berry seeds, porcupine quills, pearls, semi-precious stones, and antler horn in her artwork and crafts that include jewelry and mittens. Stop by the Selkirk College – Kootenay Studio Arts (KSA) campus, located downtown in a heritage stone building. Faculty will be giving a guided tour at 10:30 a.m. each day or you can explore the working studios throughout the event. KSA programming features small class sizes, working artists as instructors and after-hours studio access. Visit artist Vivi Harder in her Baker Street studio to see her paintings and discuss the work personally, or simply to observe and ponder them. As an abstract painter, she is interested in expressing the human spirit through a minimalist and formalist approach, creating a playful dialogue with color, texture and compositional juxtapositions. Touchstones Nelson: Museum of Art and History is a combination of art gallery, museum and archives, with a shop featuring locally handcrafted work. Displayed in Gallery A is work by well-known long-time Nelson area resident and KSA instructor Courtney Andersen; in Gallery B is Sons of Freedom Doukhobors: Photographs from the Stevens Studio Collection. Oxygen Art Centre is pleased to present new work by Victoria artist Megan Dickie: an installation including video and sculpture entitled Spin Off. The video references the format of video games; flat, multi-leveled obstacle courses, built from large scale absurd sculptures, that are traversed by a character (the artist) who continually fails and reattempts the challenges. Visit four great studios in Fairview

cedar trees used for basketry bark. From cedar and pine needle basketry to felted alpaca garments, they are truly locally self-sufficient in their use of materials. Also on display at Kingsland Farm is Molly’s Landing where Brenda Pirie will give you a glimpse of her whimsical and realistic needlefelted animals. In Proctor, visit Susie Salmons at Hedgehog Haven Nursery to view her mosaic art that includes functional and decorative pieces for the home and garden using recycled china, stained glass and other found objects. Find artist Terry Huva and ceramic artist Michele Dupas at the Procter Schoolhouse. Terry’s work involves water, boats, people and place, where abstraction, arresting colour combos, strong light and dark shadows meet. Michele’s hand-built clay creations are functional and/or sculptural. Michele’s work tends to be playful and her newest exploration involves nerdy monster teapots and plates. Just one kilometre past Balfour are artists Karen Hornby and Heather Peter Bockner is a furniture maker and wood carver who has been living and Hutchinson.

City of Nelson The In’s & Out’s of Water Use Sanitary Sewer Services – What you should never flush down the toilet Non-biodegradable materials flushed into City sewers can get stuck in the pipes or can plug the pumps of the City’s sewage processing facilities. These blockages can result in sewer lines backing up creating unpleasant and often costly situations for the homeowner. Never flush the following products: • diapers • feminine hygiene products and their applicators • q-tips • drinking straws • make-up pads • cotton balls • dental floss • condoms • cleaning wipes (including baby wipes and paper towels)

• • • • • • • • • •

facial tissue bandages cloth materials plastic bags teeth whitening strips hair (human or pet) unused medications grease small toys any non-biodegradable items

Water Conservation Measures Why should water be conserved? Water conservation is a local, regional, national and global issue. People in the West Kootenay’s use an average of 500 litres of water EACH day, more than almost anyone else in the world! And this is the time of year when water usage increases by as much as 50%! Currently there is no shortage of water around Nelson BUT the drinking water that comes out of taps inside and outside your house is water that has been collected, stored, treated and distributed, all at a cost. We also want to ensure that our reservoir water is not overused potentially becoming unavailable in the event of a major fire in Nelson. How to conserve water The City of Nelson thanks “Water Smart’ residents for their cooperation to conserve water and reminds people to: • Water every other day only. Premises with “even” numbered civic addresses may sprinkle on “even” numbered days (ie: 2nd, 4th, 6th etc) and premises with “odd” numbered civic addresses may sprinkle on “odd” numbered days (ie: 1st, 3rd, 5th etc). • Water in the early morning, before 10:00 am, or early evening, after 6:00 pm. • Premises with underground sprinklers should set the timer to give the lawn about one hour worth of water each week. • Ensure that water does not over-spray onto sidewalks, driveways or roads.

What is the City of Nelson doing to conserve treated water? The City of Nelson is conserving treated water, as follows: • Irrigating the Lakeside Park and Sports fields with lake water • Irrigating Davies St Park with water from Anderson Creek • Irrigating Nelson Memorial Cemetery with well water • All other parks are receiving minimal watering

’Fess up: you’ve loved a good mystery since Mrs. Peacock did it with the candlestick in the— wait for it—library. Folks who love mysteries grew up chasing clues with Sherlock Holmes and Miss Marple before graduating to Inspector Morse and Kay Scarpetta. We gobble them up like candy and hoard the wrappers, hoping for more. Chocolate has nothing on P.D. James, Anne Perry, and Ian Rankin. We have our own resident mystery writer in Deryn Collier, who sets her books in a vaguely familiar place called Kootenay Landing and has so far produced two of a multibook series in the best tradition of sleuths-you-love-to-follow. In Confined Space, coroner and ex-forces commander Bern Fortin hopes for a relatively quiet life after the horrors of Rwanda—and of course, it’s not. In Open Secret, Bern uncovers the darker side of the region’s notso-secret economy. Sound familiar? I love Deryn’s novels, and I’m

not alone: Confined Space was the One Book, One Kootenay selection for 2013, while out there in the world, celebrated mystery authors have taken note.

Says Ian Hamilton: “her setting may be cozy, but Collier’s style is dark and deep.” Says Kathy Reichs: “Open Secret is a riveting page-turner

from a talented new voice.” I asked Deryn to spill the secret of her mystery series favourites for the perfect summer read. “Ian Hamilton’s Ava Lee series makes for great beach reading,” she says. “Ava is a Chinese-Canadian forensic accountant who travels the globe to track down millions of dollars on behalf of swindled clients. She meets no end of trouble on her way.” As well, Gail Bowen’s books “combine domesticity and danger in a tantalizing way—suspenseful enough to keep you reading but not so terrifying as to leave you looking for bogey men under the bed.” Finally, the Ruth Galloway series of archaeological mysteries by Elly Griffith: “Set on the coast in Norfolk, they’re not too dark, not too heavy, but delightfully suspenseful.” Deryn suggests starting with Crossing Places.

New pathways for students Program additions to Kootenay Studio Arts (KSA) at Selkirk College have opened new pathways to students and new doors to working artists in the region. After a collaborative review of the Nelson art school that included input from current students, instructors, artists, community members and Selkirk College administration, KSA will begin new offerings starting this September. The major changes include the addition of a two-year diploma pathway and creation of an open studio advanced certificate. “We want to provide our students with a greater opportunity,” said Selkirk College School of the Arts chair Jason Taylor. “This is a really big key to opening KSA to the community in more ways than ever.” The roots of Kootenay Studio Arts in Nelson go back to 1958 and over the years the program offerings have changed, adapting to the needs of the region. Currently located at the Victoria Street Campus, Selkirk College took over administration of KSA in 2006. Last year KSA offered certificate programs in blacksmithing, metal casting, ceramics, jewelry

Jewelry Studio student Briana Mercier works on a necklace at the Kootenay Studio Arts Victoria Street campus in Nelson. Submitted photo and textiles. Those programs lasted between four and 10 months, focussing most of that time on intense studio work. The certificate programs will remain intact with a slight revision that will offer an additional combined metal casting/blacksmithing certificate in a program called sculptural metal. Starting in September, students will have the option to continue their studies at KSA with a second year in the diploma stream. Year-one will include the existing

10-month certificate courses and in year-two students will combine suitable pre-existing courses in other Selkirk College programs with a directed studies requirement that will see them spend at least 18 hours a week in their chosen studio. “This has great potential, it opens up a lot more possibilities for students,” said Laura White, KSA coordinator and a jewelry instructor for the last 19 years.
