Skaters board the bus Sherpas Cinema films commercial in Nelson for BC Transit
TAMARA HYND Nelson Star herpas Cinema has a crew filming a commercial in Nelson this week for BC Transit with the help of two young skateboarders. Nelsonite Drew Summerside and Skylar Kehr of Vancouver are thrilled to be skateboarding for the ad. Both agreed it was good to be getting paid for something they already do. Director of photography Leo Hoorn and director Eric Crosland were two of the six person crew
S
on scene filming Summerside and Kehr skating up to a bus stop beside the Lakeside gazebo just as the Uphill bus arrives. They have been filming other segments in the Uphill neighbourhood on Stanley St. as well. Summerside wasn’t the only local on scene. Crosland, director of Sherpas Cinema, lives in Nelson with his wife and children. Production manger Elizabeth Leilani said the segment was a tribute to Canadian freeskier J.P. Auclair, who died in an avalanche while filming in Chile last fall. He
was in the film All.I.Can., which was filmed in Nelson and started this series of BC Transit spots. This commercial is the third in the series featuring mountain biking, climbing and now skateboarding as a way to remind active outdoors people that they can reach their destination by transit too. Sherpas Cinema focuses on aerial cinematography and mountain sports savvy, with everything from commercials, to environmental topics, to sports features. Their latest feature is Into the Mind.
BILL METCALFE Nelson Star The province is running an online survey asking citizens how they think the government should approach climate change. The survey breaks the subject down into four categories: The way we live (buildings, community design, waste), the way we travel (movement of people and goods), the way we work (business, industry, products and services), and what we value (how we consider the cost of climate change when we make decisions). There are two sections of questions for each category and you have to make choices and express preferences. The survey was launched in July and runs until Monday. The government says it’s part of its development of a climate action plan. A draft will be released in the fall, and the public will be asked to comment on it. The survey can be found at engage.gov.bc.ca/ climateleadership. The Star asked four prominent West Kootenay residents to take the survey and tell us what they thought of it.
Deb Kozak is the mayor of Nelson, the city’s representative on the Regional District of Central Kootenay board, and chair of the Association of Kootenay Boundary Local Governments. “I thought the survey raised some broad issues around climate change, and defined them into sectors for you to think about,” she said. “For a regular citizen taking the survey, I am not sure it would be very useful for them. You would have to understand a lot already. They might find the questions overwhelming. You were asked to provide a short answer to some very complex issues. “There is no doubt in my mind that climate change is happening and we need to shift to a low carbon culture and government needs to take a strong leadership. “I think the survey will provide some direction for the government if they are looking for

TAMARA HYND Nelson Star hile a naming ceremony was held Saturday in Uphill for a 34-foot handcrafted sailboat, a truck from the Lower Mainland with a massive trailer attached made its way up Stanley St. to begin transporting the vessel to the Pacific Ocean. These were Sanda Laine’s words as she and husband Don Kurylko ceremoniously christened their sailboat and soon-tobe new home while surrounded by friends in their yard: “To all the Gods and Goddesses of the sea, both ancient and modern: We present to you this small vessel named Tomfi and humbly ask that her name be added to the rolls of the great fleets that have come before her and all who sail in her be filled with the spirit with which she was crafted.” The air was full of emotion. When Laine took a moment to recompose herself, Kurylko offered to read the dedication for her, but that brief pause was all she needed to gather her voice back. The familial sentiment is what led to the name Tomfi, Laine’s middle name, which she was given in honour of her uncle Tom, who fought in a war. And with that, a swooping cheer rose from the crowd gathered on their lawn at Stanley and Gore streets. The boat gleamed with rich wooden finish and a celebratory bouquet of summer blooms. Kurylko continued the dedication. While champagne was poured for guests, none would touch Tomfi’s bow that day, as that was to be reserved for her ocean launch. Kurylko, however, pointed to a large metal basin full of water from Kootenay Lake which was to act as a baptismal font.

Nelson residents Sanda Laine and Don Kurylko held a boat naming ceremony with friends and neighbours Saturday. Kurylko handcrafted the 34-foot sailboat in a shed on their yard. The boat mover arrived at the same time, ready to load the newly named Tomfi and transport the vessel to the salty waters of the West Coast.

ers’ arrival, Kurylko said he felt every emotion — anxiety, elation, anticipation, joy. The day was here and he could hardly believe it. For 20 years Kurylko handcrafted the vessel inside a shed in their yard. And it was this lengthy timeline that caused the couple’s children to dub it the Forever Boat. The shed seemed like a permanent fixture until it was dismantled in July, revealing the seaworthy ship. Once the boat mover was onsite, he and Kurylko began working out the loading logistics. Kurylko was to follow the boat to a marina in New Westminster while Laine was tasked with the final business of moving out of their sold house. The couple will now live on their boat and after a few more preparations, plan to set sail in the fall to where new adventures await.

Once crews got into the apartment, they found a smokefilled room and a pot of food on the stove with the burner set on maximum. The smoke alarm was connected but not functioning. Early notification to the fire department was a key factor in avoiding a more serious fire loss, Hebert said.

Nelson Star Staff Nelson Fire Rescue responded to three vehicle incidents in less than two hours Monday night, starting with a pair of accidents followed by an engine fire in the Panago parking lot. The first accident, which occurred at approximately 9 p.m., involved two vehicles in the 500 block of Baker St. Upon arrival it was quickly determined the incident was relatively minor and didn’t require additional resources. The second accident was reported shortly after 10 p.m. Dispatch received a call about an accident on the corner of Second and Davies streets. “The on-duty officer again responded with an engine,” assistant fire chief Michael Daloise said in a news release. “This incident was more serious as a vehicle had unsuccessfully attempted to turn at the intersection. The vehicle crossed the oncoming lane of traffic and travelled onto the boulevard, striking a bus shelter. “Extensive damage resulted to the bus stop and it was very fortunate that nobody was in it at the time.” While the officer was dealing with the incident, dispatch

Inc., to hold a public meeting as requested by stakeholders. As of Tuesday, Area E regional director Ramona Faust said she has not heard anything about a possible meeting but, “it could just show up in our correspondence list on the agenda.” The Regional District of Central Kootenay asked FrontCounter BC for a public meeting in June as did the Kootenay Mountaineering Club in a letter dated May 1 through the public submissions process. Although a decision was expected within 140 days of the applica-
tion, acting manager Barry Coleman at Castlegar FrontCounter BC said that’s just a target rather than a steadfast rule. However, the ministry meets that target more than 80 per cent of the time. He said it sometimes takes longer but could not speak directly to this application. The management plan submitted with the tenure application on March 11 proposes operating a heli-ski operation beginning in December on 14,666 hectares of crown land which runs along the borders of Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park.

Authorities grateful for ‘uneventful’ Shambhala Music Festival can do to make sure everyone’s safe.”
A unique vibe Shambhala’s Britz Robins said this year’s festival had a uniquely relaxing vibe compared to previous years. “Overall, it went amazingly. I don’t know if it was the weather, or what, but there was definitely a more relaxed, chill vibe this year.” There were 11,000 ticket sales and approximately 15,000 people in attendance — making it roughly the same size, or slightly bigger, than last year. She said the concerts were memorable. In particular, she was moved by a tribute set by one member of Fort Knox Five in honour of their tenth anniversary playing there. “Everyone says the same thing ever year — ‘oh my God, best year ever’ — but this year we’ve been hearing it from veterans and quite a few people who have been coming out for years.” This was her 13th time attending. Robins said the harm reduction and medical infrastructure has improved significantly, which she credits for the improvement in safety. “We only had five ambulance transfers where we handed off a patient to the Trail hospital. We had seven or eight people who left in private vehicles, but in general the incidents were way down. Our medical crew did an incredible job.” She said on top of the regu-
lar programming — which included yoga, permaculture and music production workshops — many festival-goers created their own activities and events. “There’s one guy who does a magical mystery train tour every year, and he takes people around to all the stages. There are also themed costume events and meet-ups, potluck, and hoop jams.” She said they’re already looking ahead. “We’re incredibly excited to start work on 2016 in the fall.”
Impounds and seizures Sgt. John Ferguson of West Kootenay Traffic Services was pleased to report no major crashes involving Shambhala in their area this year. That being said, they did impound 61 cars for travelling in excess of 40 km/h over the speed limit, the majority of which were en route to or leaving the festival. “In our patrols we also charged three people with being impaired by drugs, one by alcohol and impounded numerous vehicles in which the drivers were prohibited or the vehicle was unsafe on the road.” Traffic authorities made 104 seizures, finding cannabis, MDMA, ketamine, LSD, mushrooms, hash oil, cocaine, shatter, steroid and crystal meth. Twenty three people were charged with possession and two with trafficking. “Our members spoke to each driver and most occupants of

the vehicles admitted coming from Shambhala and readily confessed to having used illegal controlled substances during the week and weekend,” he said. “We are very happy that everyone got home safe this year.”
Post-festival concerns Falcone said festival-goers who relied on the harm reduction teams at the festival may be once again vulnerable once removed from that environment. He reiterated their stance that they’re not interested in prosecuting drug possession cases and are primarily concerned with the health and well-being of users. “In light of the fentanyl scare on the coast — and we have no reason to believe it’s not here — we’re reminding people to be cautious and don’t hesitate to contact 911 if anything happens. Some of this stuff is 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine, and they’re mixing it with other drugs.” Rob Andrew of the BC SPCA said that though pets have been left behind at the shelter by festival-goers in the past, this year it wasn’t a problem. RCMP praised the festival’s security teams, who worked closely with their officers. The security team, equipped with ATVs and metal handcuffs. Roy said once an attendee was taken into custody they were handed off to RCMP as quickly as possible. “I’d say everything went smoothly,” said Roy.

Will Johnson Nelson Star West Kootenay authorities are grateful that the 18th annual Shambhala Music Festival ended without a single major incident. The festival reported five ambulance transfers to the Trail hospital, which is half the number of last year, and there were no major vehicle accidents. “From a policing and general duty perspective Shambhala was fairly good for us this year,” said RCMP Insp. Tom Roy. “We had no major incidents that we’re aware of, and though traffic was as busy as expected we didn’t have any real problems.” That sentiment was echoed by the Nelson Police Department. Sgt. Dino Falcone told the Star there have been some shoplifting incidents since the festival’s completion and they routinely remind visitors they’re not allowed to sleep overnight in local parks, but for the most part it’s been quiet. “We beefed up our beats so that we had two members on call-out for the six days — last Wednesday, Thursday Friday and this Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, just to help out.” And that was enough to deal with any issues that arose. When he visited the Salmo River Ranch on Sunday, Falcone said he was impressed by the infrastructure and organization. “As a civilian looking at it, I can say it’s incredibly well organized. We have a really good relationship with the Shambhala management. They’re being proactive and doing everything they

Americans learn about local Columbia River Treaty story
EILEEN
Community Comment
A
The Burton townsite prior to reservoir flooding, 1968-69. on both sides of the boundary have consulted the public. Bureaucrats are in “wait and watch” mode. Residents of the vast international basin need to be, too. As Kramer’s story makes clear to her American readership, the design of the storage system could be updated to consider more fairly the rights of Canadian residents living in the upper Columbia Basin. In my experience researching the subject and speaking at international Treaty conferences, most Americans seem shocked to learn of the heavy Treaty costs born here, including the displacement of 2,300 Kootenay residents from their homes and negative ecological impacts to many recreational fisheries. Under the current treaty, the Duncan and Columbia River valleys operate as giant bathtubs that hold water strategically. BC receives money annually for the water storage earmarked for hydro-power efficiency. The

I was once again saddened by yet another unnecessary bear shooting in a home in Kimberley. Leading bear behaviourist Ben Kilham advocates remote feeding stations for bears during years of low natural food sources, and from what I hear, this is one. The streams are dry and have no fish, and the berry crop is poor. This is why bears come into human areas. If we select remote feeding areas we can help the bears get through tough years and stay away from town. Yes, the conservation officers will scream about this, but Kilham has proven that it works. Read some of his work and then comment. We have removed the choicest food sources, we have dried up the rivers with dams and now we shoot them when they are starving. It’s just wrong. If we can help the wildlife in bad years, why not? Aren’t the bears a big part of the reason tourists come here? I think they prefer to take home photo memories of live creatures, not dead, starving ones on someone’s kitchen floor. Shannon LeBlanc Nelson

n odd sort of news story recently hit the headlines of Spokane’s major daily, the Spokesman Review. Odd, because it concerns events that took place half a century ago. News, because many Americans reading the story were learning about these events for the first time. Spokesman reporter Becky Kramer’s Aug. 9 story concerns the signing of the Columbia River Treaty in 1961, its Canadian ratification in 1964 (after much national controversy on this side of the boundary), and the troublesome after-effects of the treaty for Kootenay residents of the Columbia, Duncan and Kootenay River valleys. With Treaty flood control provisions set to expire in 2024, water-storage provisions for hydro power efficiencies may also be open to changes — if either country notifies the other of an intent to renegotiate. Unlike flood control, hydro power efficiencies have no expiration date. So far, neither country has served notice. Review teams

ambitious engineering project devastated the agricultural and ecological life of the upper basin. Americans living further south experienced few, if any, negative consequences. The Treaty also granted the US permission to build Libby Dam in Montana. According to governments and negotiators, Libby is not a “Treaty dam” because it does not store water as the Treaty dictates. Canadian residents living along the transboundary Koocanusa Reservoir don’t care about these technicalities. They would also like to see the damaging effects of water storage considered. In a few words, residents living close to reservoirs want more stable water levels, somewhat like those enjoyed in the US portion of the Columbia Basin. A review of the comments to Kramer’s feature story demonstrates American readers quick to take note of one fact: BC’s annual half-share of the Treaty benefits for enhanced
power production does not flow specifically back to the region where the costs are born. Annually, $80 million to $300 million flows north into BC provincial coffers. Even a small annual percentage of this payout would amount to significant potential mitigation for our region’s damages: to enhance deeply damaged fisheries, heal the ongoing social scars in various affected communities, and contribute to development of sustainable agriculture. Have a read of Kramer’s story. It brings up yet again a question I ponder frequently: What is the value of our region’s abundant water, and who profits from its use?

This summer’s forest fires have brought the reality of climate change to the forefront of British Columbian’s concerns. You now have the opportunity to influence our province’s future policies on addressing climate change and reducing our collective greenhouse gas emissions. Last month the BC Government presented their “Climate Leadership Plan – Discussion Paper,” and the public input period ends Aug. 17. We encourage everyone to complete the online survey (engage.gov. bc/climateleadership). While we applaud the leadership team for requesting the public’s input, our local Citizens’ Climate Lobby chapter is concerned the proposed goals are too vague and do not outline a clear process as to how these actions will occur, how they will be monitored, and what remedies would be in place to enforce new policies. Another concern is that BC’s very successful carbon tax, instituted in 2008, has been frozen for five years. To continue to be effective at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, this tax needs to increase as it was intended. Using a more transparent approach, like carbon fee and dividend, would protect lower and middle income families, while encouraging the innovation needed in our transition to a low carbon economy. The government’s current focus on developing a new carbon-based energy infrastructure (LNG) is contrary to the long term goals of meeting BC’s greenhouse gas targets. The province will be hard pressed to meet its 2020 greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. Developing new carbon energy projects will make that task even more difficult. We will be submitting a formal response with our concerns. We encourage other organizations to do so, too. At this critical time in history, we must all be actively involved in envisioning the future that we want. Ron Robinson, Mike Geisler, Laura Sacks Nelson-West Kootenay Chapter Citizens’ Climate Lobby

WAY N E G E R M A I N E Serving Nelson & Area Since 1987. HUGS: To the organizers, volunteers and supporters for the Nelson triathlon who make it a truly amazing event every year! HUGS: To homeowners on Johnstone Rd. for their cooling spray during the Nelson triathlon. You made a huge difference! HUGS: To the amazing group of firefighters at Kootenay Lake fire zone for donating all their water bottle empties from the Sitkum fire to my daughter’s efforts to give back to BC Children’s Hospital. Thank you so much for thinking about her and helping her to continue to raise more money to help other children. – From a grateful little fundraiser SLUGS: To the property owner who planted a shrub garden on the city-owned boulevard across from their property and are still using a sprinkler to water it. Shame on you. Our children cannot use the water park in town because of severe water restrictions and you are not only still sprinkling, you are sprinkling on property that is not even yours. HUGS: To all the spectators of the Cyswog. It is such a great feeling to be running from the water, biking out the lake or running across the bridge to the finish line hearing all the cheers of encouragement from the community. There were a few times that I felt drained and got a burst of energy just by hearing a complete stranger cheer me on. Thank you all of you for your support! SLUGS: To the neighbour who reduced a mom in our neighbourhood to tears because she doesn’t want to see or hear children outside playing after 5 p.m. Children playing outdoors is a sign of a healthy and
vital neighbourhood. Nelson is known as one of the top family friendly places in Canada to raise children. If you don’t like the sound of children, then perhaps it is time to move to a 55-plus community! HUGS: Big hugs to the two gentlemen (one in a convertible, the other in a dark-coloured truck) who stopped instantly to help a lady whose knees buckled and almost passed out on the side of the highway by Toyota. Thank you also for the ride home! I was too disoriented to thank you both SO much, but I can now! I am deeply, deeply grateful for your kindness, caring and aid, it will never be forgotten and to be always kept in my heart! SLUGS: To the business with the sandwich board so close to the fire hydrant there is only a narrow path. There is no way for wheelchairs or baby buggies to go down the sidewalk. Fried slugs to the person who said she was in charge and told me to take my complaint to city hall. I saw a motor-driven wheelchair trying to get down that sidewalk the other day. Sandwich board placement and enforcement seem non-existent most of the time. HUGS: A huge hugs of thanks to the kind gentleman in the blue Subaru – a complete stranger to me, by the way – who went out of his way to offer assistance. Driving up my street, he witnessed me struggling to get a 50-pound sack of rice out of the trunk. He had to turn his vehicle around just to pull up. Then he parked, got out and offered to carry this heavy load up two sets of stairs to my front door. Wow ... who does that anymore? These days in this hurried world, most people would just keep on driving. A knight in shining armour? I truly think so.
If you have a Hug or a Slug... we’d like to hear it. Simply email us at editor@nelsonstar.com with your short quips, compliments or complaints. Keep it tasteful and anonymous — no names of individuals, businesses, or places please. You can also drop by a written submission to our offices at 514 Hall St.

#NelsonBCAdventures
his past weekend my partner Darby and I donned bison and elk spirit hoods, loaded up our RAV-4 and drove out to the Salmo River Ranch to lose our Shambhala Music Festival virginity together. The annual five-day bacchanal, now in its 18th year, has long loomed in my mind as one of those things I had to get around to eventually, so when Jimmy Bundschuh and the crew invited me to experience it firsthand, I jumped at the chance. Darby and I left our canine progeny with my co-worker Tamara, stocked up on Tostitos, Red Bull and bottled water, and set up a makeshift bed in the backseat of our car. Neither of us know anything about electronic dance music, nor have we been to many music festivals, but we were giddy and determined to give it a one-day go, if only to brag about it afterwards.
‘This doesn’t even look like Canada’ We’d been seeing the evidence of Shambhala’s approach for weeks — as we do every year — with hitchhikers, transients and costume-wearing ravers gathered on the sides of the highway and in gas station parking lots holding up cardboard signs. As it turns out, that was nothing compared to what awaited us. Many in Nelson are ambivalent or outright hostile to the festival and its denizens, treating it like the beautiful but irresponsibly hardpartying daughter of a conservative family. Other locals, meanwhile, talk about it with a religious fervour and count the week as the spiritual highlight of the year. I figured I would end up falling somewhere in between. As we arrived at the entrance of the festival grounds, I was reminded of my first day of summer camp as a kid. Hyper-earnest greeters waved their arms, rainbow-clad and grinning effusively. All around us bandana-clad 20-somethings roved in haggard, dust-covered packs, sporting raccoon tails, tiny bathing suits and no shortage of flamboyant headgear. “I can’t believe this is real,” Darby said. “This doesn’t even look like Canada.” Beyond the trees it sounded as if some nightmarish machine was clanking-whirring, the bass thumping like a heartbeat.
Tutus, body paint and spirit hoods Upon arriving in the forest, my surroundings conjured memories of the Full Moon Party I attended in Koh Phangan, Thailand years ago. There was the same frenzied enthusiasm, the crowd-packed manic energy. At the time it has been the largest scale party I’d ever attended, and the scene of some
WILL
JOHNSON
Kootenay Goon of the most extreme tourist-style debauchery I’ve ever witnessed. Shambhala attracts party-goers from a similar milieu — primarily college-aged kids with plenty of disposable income for body-paint, weed and river floaties — but there were all kinds of age groups and social backgrounds represented. I spotted flags for Italy, Brazil, Quebec and even Westeros. We headed towards the stages — where Justin Bieber was rumoured to be hanging out for Skrillex’s 12:30 show — and joined the mass of humanity, attempting not to gawk too visibly as parades of bare-chested women traipsed brazenly past. Every few feet there was a wildly inventive costume to behold, or a totem hoisted up with a message like I feel like I’m taking crazy pills! Shambhala is where you can infantilize yourself, where you can walk the grounds nude except for a well-placed sock or a creative use of sheer spandex. It’s where men wear tutus and women wear work belts over their bikinis. One lady with red-dyed eyebrows and hair, doing her best Ariel impression, was sporting nothing but Little Mermaid-style body paint. And we’re not talking about a handful of kids here; we’re talking about a full-sized city of 15,000 people all devoted to making the biggest spectacle possible. (You can understand why that makes some nervous ...) The people I talked to repeatedly described the festival as their yearly escape from mundanity, as the place where they feel home in a way they don’t elsewhere. It’s an annual soul-cleansing, a subversive party Mecca that gives people a chance to be someone else for a few days, to leave their ordinary existence behind temporarily. One DJ stood before his throbbing crowd with a T-shirt that read **** Real Life. The sentiment was widespread.
Shrines to the Party Gods I’d heard previously that Shambhala’s primary asset is its permanent location, which allows the stages to remain in place and evolve yearround. Each year the infrastructure improves, the lighting design gets
more ambitious, the special effects intensify. The Fractal Forest in particular seems to have blended into the surrounding foliage. Darby and I clutched our water bottles and dived into the writhing crowds, squirming through the mass of bodies. We hiked through the woods from one stage to the next, getting progressively filthier checking out the sculptures and artwork that periodically appeared From that point, things start to get a little hazy. Sensory overload kicks in. I found I didn’t have time to process one startling visual before being faced with a new one a leather-clad woman hanging from a giant spider web, C3PO’s head bouncing over me on the dance floor, a cross-eyed cartoon bird squawking while the beat palmthrusted my throat. It’s hard to describe what it’s like to stand on one of those dance floors—or on one of the elaborate multi-storey structures erected around them—without resorting to hyperbole, but suffice to say i felt like being in Narnia, complete with anthropomorphized animals and I only experienced five per cen of what the festival has to offer. Next year I have to go for longer
Evolving potential, creative development
For many festival-goers, our 15-hour visit took place during their third day, but I felt like I’d experienced a full week’s worth o stimulus during our frenzied tour The thing that impressed me most when I thought about it afterwards was the culture of party collaboration. It seemed like everyone — staff, volunteers and attendees alike — were committed to ensuring everyone was safe, blissed out and happy. I heard people remind each other to visit the harm reduction tent, I saw festival-goers shaking each other awake in the grass and routinely checking in with female friends who had been approached by male strangers to make sure they were okay. But the other thing that inspired me was all the various art projects and spin-off endeavours that came out of the festival, all the creative relationships and new connections According to some, Shambhala stopped being exclusively abou music a long time ago. Now it’s all about creating community, and fostering creative relationships. Basically, every year for tha week the Salmo River Ranch becomes a 15,000-person family. I honestly can’t believe they pul it off every year — it’s like a giant trust exercise where nobody’s betting in their favour — but they have repeatedly upped the ante professionalizing their operation and claiming their spot as one o the best music festivals worldwide I couldn’t be more grateful for the invitation, and hope to return for years to come.

It’s something about the way people talk, connect, how there’s no boundaries here. I’ve never experienced it any other place. Honestly, there’s no place I’d rather be.” Full story at nelsonstar.com

The play is about two old flames, Jacob and Mary, who separated when Jacob left town, giving Mary no notice or explanation. She becomes engaged to another man, and then Jacob returns and tries to win her back. “He shows up out of the blue and he’s trying to break down the walls I have built up over the year he has been away,” says Hicks. “It’s a dance,” says Macdonald, “where one person takes a step forward and the other takes one back and then the magic starts to happen on those times when the glass shatters and we both take a step forward — those are the most beautiful moments of the play. And then Mary catches herself and takes a step back again. “We play two of the most stubborn people in the world. I am so persistent saying ‘I love you and you love me,’ and she is so persistent saying ‘Forget about it,’ which is a lie.”
‘A sweet ride’ Rowberry says the play is family entertainment with depth, both playful and serious. “It is a sweet play that you can just enjoy because they are really nice people and they have got a problem,” he says. “Mary
loves Jacob even though she pretends not to, and I think there is no secret how it is going to end. But that’s okay because it is the ride, and it is a very sweet ride.”
Paying youth actors
Rowberry’s role in Nelson’s theatre scene is defined partly by his practice, every year since 1999, of finding grant money to pay young actors in his summer productions. That’s why Hicks can say she has already been in several professional theatre productions — she’s worked as a paid actor in several of Rowberry’s summer shows, starting when was a high school student. Macdonald says including his current work at college he has been in 24 productions in his young life, 20 of which were musicals. Locals might remember his lead role in the musical Sweeney Todd three years ago at the Capitol Theatre. But he thinks audiences in Nelson are too stuck on musicals. “I think people in Nelson need to give theatre more of a chance,” he says. “This community has such an opportunity to blossom into an extremely theatre-based community. There needs to be a theatre company that can run all year round.” In the meantime, he says, go to Saltwater Moon. “This is such an emotional play, and you can connect to both of the characters and see a bit of yourself in both of them, so come to it if you want to feel a human experience and have a great night out.” Saltwater Moon runs tonight through Sunday, at 7 p.m. and Aug. 21-23 at 8 p.m. at the TNT Playhouse at the corner of Ward and Carbonate.

Did you know? When hosting a dinner party, hosts might be asked to provide some gluten-free foods. Gluten is a general name for proteins found in wheat that help foods maintain their shape. But gluten also can be found in cereal grains such as rye and barley as well as a variety of crossbreeds. Gluten is not unhealthy, but many people are gluten-intolerant. When such people, who may suffer from celiac disease, consume gluten, they may be triggering an immune system response that damages their intestines and prevents them from absorbing nutrients they need to stay healthy. Some gluten-intolerant people may be suffering from a wheat allergy that can produce various reactions to wheat allergens. Party hosts concerned about guests with a gluten intolerance may want to consult those guests about which foods they can and cannot eat. A gluten-free diet typically forbids gluten-intolerant men, women and children from consuming bread, beer, french fries, pasta, salad dressing, soy sauce, and certain soups. However, manyfood manufacturers have begun to produce gluten-free alternatives to popular foods and beverages, making it easier than ever for dinner party hosts to cater to gluten-intolerant guests.
Almost everything on our menu is gluten free or can be made gluten free!

Nelson singer Evan Amies-Galonski (black hat) will perform at the Royal on Baker with Jay Myers on Aug. 22 to share their debut album Shadows Cast. Submitted photo
Nelson musician returns from Haida Gwaii sojourn Shadows Cast performs at The Royal on Aug. 22
Will Johnson Nelson Star One of the tracks on Nelson musician Evan Amies-Galonski’s debut album Shadows Cast, “Winter’s on its Way,” is a nearly eight-minute instrumental piece inspired by the seasons of Haida Gwaii. Composed with bandmate Jay Myers, whom he met on the island, the song is a jammy, experimental exploration with a vaguely psychedelic vibe. It’s also the first song they play at their live shows. “We were coming back to Haida Gwaii and getting ready to hunker down for the winter, because it gets really dark and you need something to do. Making music is what we did,” Amies-Galonski told the Star, while on tour across the province. He’s scheduled to play at The Royal on Baker on Aug. 22. “That was the only song we wrote together, because normally we both write our own songs. Then one day we had two guitars, we were just messing around and tuning, making stuff up.” That’s when they were inspired to combine their efforts. “Once we put all our parts together it
ended up being like seven minutes long. We had to find a way to remember all the parts, so we started thinking of it as a seasonal song.” Flourishes over the course of the song mimic aspects of the weather, and take listeners on a journey through the transforming landscape. “We named each part of the song after a different weather event. One part would be called cool wind, or friendly storms, or leaves falling.” Partway across the province on a release tour, the pair have worked their way from Prince Rupert through Terrace and down to Vancouver. Amies-Galonski said as a band they want to explore both darkness and light. “Our name came from a song I wrote quite a while ago, and it had some elements of darkness and a heavierness. But there’s a lot of light as well, and that was a way for us to explore both sides of shadows being cast — because they also require light to be created.” The new album has 11 tracks.

“This body of work is a new adventure for me,” Preville says. “I recently took an abstract workshop with Blu Smith and these are some of the works produced in that workshop. With Blu the focus was dark charcoal/ black paint marks with lighting from behind the subject — the subject was ‘no subject’ — in other words the marks on the paper are non-representational marks made by the artist. “I am excited and look forward to apply this abstract landscape technique to my oil plein air paintings this year.”

Being from a long line of Dutch painters, Reyden has always been interested in the arts. Pencil portraits were her main outlet until she picked up the paintbrush after the birth of her first son. Now a busy mom of two, she fits paint time in when possible. Reyden studied art history at both Capilano College and Malaspina, earning her diploma in interior design. Much like the Impressionists she aims to express the momentary aspects of light. Her own photographs provide material for paintings. She is eager to explore using en plein air sketches.

She is survived by five sons: Gary (Dian), Bruce (Pam), Ken, Richard, and Dave. She is also survived by: her daughter-in-law, Carol, nine grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

Marilyn Steacy June 8, 1939 – Aug 8, 2015 Marilyn Steacy, of Balfour, BC, passed away on Saturday, August 8, 2015, at her home, with her family by her side. Born in Regina, Saskatchewan, on June 8, 1939, Marilyn grew up in a farmhouse near Pense. Education was important to Marilyn. Her lifelong support of the U of S Huskies was the result of her degree in Home Economics and her husband, Ted, whom Marilyn met at the University of Saskatchewan. After teaching in Regina, California and BC, Marilyn returned to the U of S for a Masters in Education Psychology. This led to twelve years of counseling at Walter Murray Collegiate in Saskatoon. After retirement, Marilyn went back to school again to complete a program in Theological Education from the University of the South. Marilyn raised three children with Edward (Ted) Steacy in Rossland, Pine Point, Kimberley, Calgary, Sydney AU, and Saskatoon. She is survived by her husband, Ted; her daughters, Jill (David Ames), Leanne (Kevin DeBiasio) and son Michael (Dorothy Wong) and nine grandchildren. She took great pride in the home she built with Ted on their property in Balfour, BC, and invited many people to share it with them through their years of retirement. Marilyn was a gatherer of friends and family. She kept them all connected by phone calls and invitations for coffee and muffins at their beautiful lake house. We laughed, loved, walked, swam, skied, hiked, talked and prayed together. She provided an example of generosity, a keen interest in others, and shown what true grace looks like in the face of adversity. A life-long Anglican, Marilyn was devoted to the Saint Michaels and All Angels Anglican Church in Balfour. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Ladies Guild would be appreciated. A Celebration of Life for Marilyn will be held at the Covenant Church in Balfour, BC, on Saturday, August 15, 2015, at 11:00 am. A reception will follow. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Thompson Funeral Service. Online condolence may be expressed at www. thompsonfs.ca

Notice of Passing
Burton, Guy (Thomas) May 13th, 1947 - August 11th, 2015 It is with great sadness that Guy’s family announce his passing. Obituary to follow.
Isobel Christine Bower (nee Biggin) July 28, 1938 – August 3, 2015 Isobel Christine Bower (nee Biggin) was born on July 28, 1938, in Whitwell, Derbyshire, England to parents Albert Henry and Ida Emma (nee Newton) Biggin. She was their only child. Isobel attended grammar school with her lifelong friend, Gwen Allsop. Isobel met her husband, Robin Bower, at the age of 16. They were married on September 4, 1958 at the Methodist Church in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, England. As a young woman, Isobel enjoyed cycling. She, Robin and their friends toured throughout England and parts of mainland Europe on their bicycles. Isobel and Robin immigrated with their three children to Lake Louise, Alberta, in the summer of 1968. They lived for many years in and around Calgary before spending a year in Algeria and finally settling in their home near Balfour in 1980. Isobel enjoyed the company of her friends and family over many cups of tea and glasses of wine. She will be remembered for her kind, caring nature and good humour. Isobel’s roots ran deep in the community. She was loved dearly and will be missed by many. Isobel is survived by her husband of nearly 57 years, Robin Bower, her children Richard, Susan and Krista (Keith); her grandchildren, Brent, Brian, Jolene, Amanda, Kyle, Sean and Erin; her great-grandchildren Dante, Caelyn, Lyra, Kaydence, Aurelia, Olivia and Lilith; her dear friends Barb and Gwen, and too many others to name. Thank you to all the staff on the third floor of Kootenay Lake Hospital for taking such good care of our dear Wife, Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother. She was extremely grateful to you for the care she received, as is her family. Thank you to the Sonnichsen family for their love and support they’ve provided during the difficult time. A memorial service is to be held for Isobel at a later date. Megan Johnson of Thompson Funeral Service, Nelson, is entrusted with the cremation arrangements. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online register at www.thompsonfs.ca.

ess up: at some point you believed your stuffed animals — Teddy, Elephant, Bunny — came alive at night and had their own stuffy parties while you slept. The movie Toy Story was not so farfetched, but it’s only celluloid — and Buzz Lightyear has nothing on the Nelson Public Library. Last Monday’s stuffy sleepover was a matter of wee imaginations on the loose. An enthusiastic group of three to five-year-olds arrived at the library in their pajamas, stuffies in tow. They shared a storytime and then tucked their stuffies in for a library sleepover, with Summer Reading Club leaders Kazia and Sydney as responsible babysitters — and then the fun began. Whispering under the covers, raiding the fridge, playing tag in the dark — there’s nothing those stuffies didn’t get up to! Kazia and Sydney had camera in hand to document stuffy midnight fun-inthe-library, and gave the kids a booklet of photos when they came to pick up their fuzzy friends in the morning. It was all part of a perfect final-week wind-up to a summer of hijinks, in which kids aged 3 to 12 built a whole lot of fun in the Summer Reading Club theme of “Build it!” What’s great about the club’s activities is that they are old-fashioned screenless fun. Kids of all ages teamed up to build cool things with Lego, and in a twist on the Minecraft
Ginger and Teddy read by flashlight in the fort they built during the library’s stuffy sleepover. Submitted photo computer game, Minecraft Mania took it to real life. They made things with cardboard and duct tape, played mini-golf (in the library!) did yoga, and went on field trips to Touchstones Nelson and other fun places. Just as we remember imagining our toys coming to life, most of us remember playing in the street, riding our bikes, building forts. Safe to say that our kids’ memories as adults won’t be about the time they spent at a computer. So how do we encourage memorybuilding while recognizing that screens are here to stay? New research from the University of California found that our kids’ increasing screen time may be inhibiting their ability to recognize emotions. Excessive screen time has been linked to obesity and social issues. According to Screen Smart Canada, the Canadian Pediatric Society recommends no more than two hours per day for children; toddlers two years and under should have none. For more information and advice go to screensmart.ca (yes, I get the irony). This is not to say that computers are evil — they’re not. Computers are an increasingly essential — and useful! — tool in our day-to-day lives. We use them for research, education, social interaction, and everyday communication. We book
airline tickets, access legal forms, keep in touch with friends, and even research information on the effects of screen time on ourselves and children. From time to time we get comments from parents regarding the two computer stations in the children’s section (Internet-connected, with net nanny) and the two iPads for young children (educational games). Some would prefer to see them gone, and yet it’s the library’s position that computer literacy is essential. And so we strike a balance: computer time is limited, non-screen fun is plentiful. (Parents, of course, are free to practice “no” when kids ask for the iPads.) The library will always be a place of good old fashioned bookreading and face-to-face fun. This year’s Summer Reading Club wrapped up on Wednesday with a year-end party, good fun and not a screen in sight. A million thanks to Kazia and Sydney for their enthusiasm, energy, and creativity from dance parties to stuffy sleepovers and all the imaginary fun they generate. Storytimes begin again in the fall, where ambulatory and non-ambulatory friends are always welcome. See you at the library!

Former Nelsonite captures Rossland-Trail Open
JIM BAILEY Trail Times The Rossland-Trail Birchbank Men’s Open crowned a new champion on Sunday, as former Nelsonite Brad Jones won the 54-hole golf tournament by eight shots over defending three-time champion Dylan Maine of Spokane. Jones, 23, shot an efficient round of 2-under 70 on Sunday after carding the week’s low round, 65, Saturday, and a 70 on Friday to finish at 11-under on the par-72, 6,555-yard Birchbank Golf Course. “The first day I was really steady,” said Jones. “I made my first bogie of the day on 17 and birdied 18 to shoot 70 so I made a lot of pars. Yesterday, I got off to a quick start, got lucky and deuced the first hole and then played the first six at 4-under, which was the toughest
six on the golf course, and then just kind of cruised from there.” Jones, who started playing golf as a youngster in Nelson hitting balls into Kootenay Lake and now lives in Vernon, came third at last year’s championship, and was determined to improve on his result. With his closest competitors, Maine and Rossland’s Ben GresleyJones, seven shots back at 2-under par going into the third and final round on Sunday, all Jones had to do was stay consistent and out of trouble to clinch his first Birchbank title. “Today, ultimately, I had a seven shot lead so I knew If I go out and shoot an even or better, someone would have to shoot a 65 or better to catch me, which isn’t the easiest task.” Jones did better than that, bird-
ieing the first and fifth holes on his way to a bogey-free round of 2-under 70 that included 13 straight pars to finish with a three-day total 11-under 205. “I didn’t hit it close, but I didn’t really try to hit it close,” said Jones. “I tried to put everything within 20 feet and put a lot of good rolls on putts that were just burning edges, and nothing fell but that’s fine.” Saturday was a different story for the Okanagan Golf Club instructor, as Jones eagled the first hole on the par-four first then birdied 5, 6, 7, and 9 to finish the front nine with a sizzling 6-under 30 on his way to a 7-under 65 to finish at 9-under over two days. “You need to make birdies out here and I didn’t do that last year, but I did it this year so it feels good,” said Jones.

Mixed reviews for climate survey
ontinued from Page 1
irection on where the ublic feels the shift needs o occur, but I also think limate change scientists have already given] indiators of where we need o be headed.”
David Reid is the exective director of the West Kootenay Ecosociety. “I think it fails as a ublic engagement tool ecause if you want to unerstand what the public wants, you cannot create o many boxes,” he says. If you want the public o feel like they are part f the process you can’t ecide for them what the remise and goals are. “It is just an exercise o say they engaged the ublic and this represents he public will. We were sked to choose between ther people’s choices. Not hat the four categories were inherently bad, but ot every option was on he table. “For example, the BC government says it wants to become a climate leader in terms of romoting public transit, nergy efficient buildings, waste management, and o on, but if you are still dvocating and supportng the extraction of fosil fuels, then you cannot e called a leader. This is bout LNG and also about ipelines. There is nothng in there about workng across provinces to emand the end of the ar sands. This is somehing that our government as power over because hey are negotiating about ipelines to transport fosil fuels. Those are not opons in that survey.”
Hamling
Karen Hamling is the mayor of Nakusp and hair of the Regional Disrict of Central Kootenay. “I think it is a good surey, but what you can do n Vancouver you cannot ecessarily do in the inerior and the north,” she ays. “It’s a good survey or people living in high ensity areas. Travel to me is a huge thing. In he rural areas we have
to drive. In Nakusp there is a bus to Nelson three times a week, and that’s it. “As far as building cities so you can cut back emissions, yes you can do that, but it comes back to travel again. “I think it is important that they put the survey out there, to help them make decisions.”
Reasoner Mel Reasoner, a North Shore resident, has a PhD in earth and atmospheric sciences. He is a retired scientist who does climate consulting work. “I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to express my opinion. It is refreshing that a provincial government is saying climate change is a problem, and that it is human caused,” he says. “But there is an elephant in the room. We are producing 1.2 trillion cubic feet of liquid natural gas (LNG) per year and they [the government] want to add an additional 1.9 trillion feet per year. That works out to adding about 100 million tons of CO2 per year. “The survey did not prevent me from commenting on it, but did not raise LNG as an issue. “Those LNG emissions are counted in the country where the gas is combusted, so they are saying it is China that is doing this. But the atmosphere does not care. “The rationale is that the idea is that they will ship it to emerging economies and they will burn natural gas rather than coal. But there is no binding agreement in place that says they won’t just combust it in addition to coal. “The other piece of the puzzle is a growing body of evidence that natural gas, when it comes from fracking, it is not much better than coal when you factor in fugitive emissions [methane that escapes during fracking]. There is also the energy involved in liquefying and shipping it across the Pacific.”

Bringing to you our weekly words.
Facing the Giants – Pain and the Kingdom Crammed inside my little brain is this little pocket of doubt. Like a tumor fed by hormones and sugar, that little thing can be irritated and grow and cause a fair amount of unease. Yet, I believe God’s heart is big enough to manage doubt even if there are days when we feel the battle is a losing one. If we are truly honest with ourselves (even if we aren’t with others), the one thing that stokes the fires of doubt is pain. Yup, pain and the tension of “God here” and then feeling like He’s nothing more than an absent Father. It started like any other day. It was sunny, warm, and quiet. As I gazed through my office window I was imagining just ordinary stuff: work, my family, the errands, and how I really needed a new laptop. The phone rang and my brother’s voice sounded tense. There was no cordial greeting just a somber toned “Dan, I’ve got some bad news. Dad is dead”. “What happened?” I asked, shockingly. His words will forever reverberate in my soul “Dan, dad killed himself. He shot himself ”. The ensuing days were a swirl of activity and emotion. Being thrust to dark places of the soul. It was frightening and intimidating, and doubt began to grow. If the pain and trauma of sudden, violent death wasn’t hard enough, doubt became the one thing that was the most difficult to navigate. It wasn’t a conscious “Oh, I am mad at God so I’m not going to believe in Him any more”. It was much, much deeper. I had (and still do) a love relationship with Jesus. He met me, touched me, and transformed me (and still is…for I am such an unfinished work). I had spent twenty years experiencing amazing transformation in myself and in others. After all, isn’t that what it was supposed to be like? There’s nothing He can’t do, right? Nothing is impossible for our Jesus, correct? Now, I was experiencing something quite different. Apparently, there are some things that catch Him off guard… or so I thought, then. Some of us have experienced sudden loss, traumatic, soulwrenching pain that takes us places we never thought we would ever go. For some it feels like life is nothing more than managing the emotions and pain of life with the hopes of becoming healthier. Healing seems inconceivable or at the very least, out of reach. Relationships never seem to never work out. You feel you can never get ahead. Childhood trauma is real and the affects seem like dark tentacles of horror that reach so far they have become familiar companions to many. All too easily we settle for “Christian” platitudes of “That’s God’s plan for your life, just accept it. It will make you stronger” or “Your pain is part of God’s overall permissive will” or this dandy one “God has caused the events in your life to humble you and make you more like Jesus”. How do we navigate the pain and brokenness of life with the truths of the Kingdom? How can Jesus be so magnificent yet “seem” so passive towards our struggle? Is there more to life than always engaging in a losing battle with our giants?

MacLeod returns for homecoming concert
Arts
Submitted to the Nelson Star Nelson native Rebecca MacLeod returns home on Aug. 19 to present an evening of chamber music with friends. Joining the violinist is the Synapse Ensemble, a piano quartet, which includes violist Rory McLeod, cellist Sebastian Ostertag, and pianist Emily Rho. The foursome are long time friends
and colleagues having all completed studies at the Glenn Gould School and currently reside in Toronto where they are pursuing performing careers as some of Canada’s finest young classical musicians. “Classical musicians are always spending their summers at music festivals in beautiful places, think Banff, Aspen, etc. So, I thought, hey,
why not Nelson?” says MacLeod. “I absolutely love coming home and am always trying to convince my friends to make the trek, so I’m thrilled that the quartet has agreed to come along. There is nothing better than doing something you love in the place you love with the people you love!” The program will feature a
wide range of repertoire including Schumann’s beloved Piano Quartet, selections from Bach’s Goldberg Variations and the exciting HandelHalvorsen Passacaglia. The concert is at the Nelson United Church at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 or $10 for children under 12 and are available at Eddy Music and the Nelson Star.

Idea 1: “Vermicomposting” refers to using worms to break down your organic waste, and it can go a long way toward keeping household trash cans empty. A standard vermicomposting system is made up of three key components; a bin, worms and a handful of bedding. Damp newspaper strips are the most common bedding material, meaning you can use all of your old newspaper at home if you have a worm bin set up. You can also use other types of recycled paper in your worm bin.

Johnsons Landing photo exhibition launches tonight Submitted to the Nelson Star Join Amanda Bath, author of Disaster in Paradise: The Landslides in Johnson’s Landing for the opening of an exhibition featuring photos from her book at ENSO Hair Design (336 Baker St., Nelson) tonight at 6:30 p.m. The exhibition runs until Sept. 8. The photos displayed show Johnsons Landing before and after the tragic landslides that changed the community irrevocably. In addition to photos from Disaster in Paradise, the exhibition also features new photos from a wide variety of contributors, including local photographer Louis Bockner, whose work is featured on the cover of Bath’s book. Disaster in Paradise is the first book about the 2012 Johnsons Landing landslides — two natural disasters that devastated the picturesque Kootenay Lake community. Author Amanda Bath’s house was flattened by the first slide only an hour after she left the area, and when she returned less than 24 hours later to try to rescue her cat, she had less than a minute of warning before a second landslide completely buried what remained of her home. Amanda’s escape from the second landslide was caught on video by a news crew who left the same beach minutes earlier and the footage went viral on YouTube. The process of writing Disaster in Paradise was like therapy for Bath, carrying her through the painful months that followed. Disaster in Paradise is the story of Bath’s trauma and healing, but it is also the story of a community as it joined together to mourn and gradually rebuild in the wake of tragedy. In total, the landslides destroyed six homes and killed four people: Valentine Webber, 60, his daughters, Diana, 22, and Rachel, 17, as well as Petra Frehse, 64.
