Convicted bank robber testifies in partner’s trial

If you were driving over the big orange bridge Sunday morning, there’s a chance you might have witnessed the arrival of a feisty Spanish feline named Puss in Boots, who showed up in Nelson

just in time for Thursday’s opening of the 28th annual Capitol Theatre pantomime. “I’m here for a bit of Christmas fun,” Boots told the Star, after being picked up hitchhiking by the Welcome to Nelson sign. “I hear there are many attractive gatos,

so I wanted to come by and check out the scene and the señoritas.” The annual extravaganza, which will feature community members of all ages in the cast, tells the story of Colin, Boots’ CONTINUED ON A19

Convicted bank robber Andrew Stevenson appeared Monday in Supreme Court in Nelson as a witness for the defence of Krista Kalmikoff, who is on trial in connection with a spate of West Kootenay robberies in the spring of 2014. Kalmikoff and Stevenson were living together during the period of the robberies. Kalmikoff ’s defence has been based on her contention that she didn’t know Stevenson was committing crimes as she waited for him in the car during the robberies of the Nelson and District Credit Union and the Kootenay Currency Exchange. Stevenson pled guilty to his part in the robberies earlier this year and is serving a 10-year jail sentence. In court on Monday, under examination by Kalmikoff ’s lawyer, Blair Suffredine, Stevenson said he didn’t tell Kalmikoff, with whom he was living at the time, about the robberies. He also said he didn’t remember the robberies. “With the amount

of drugs I was using, I don’t remember them,” he said. “I didn’t remember one day from another half the time.” He said that on April 25, the date of the Nelson credit union robbery, he left Kalmikoff to go shopping and asked her to meet him in the parking lot at the Real Canadian Wholesale Club. “She did not know what I was going to do,” he said. Stevenson said Kamlikoff didn’t know about the robberies but did know he was buying and selling pills almost daily, which included selling prescription oxycontin to buy street morphine. Under cross examination by Crown counsel Sunday Patola, Stevenson explained he’d been addicted to morphine and oxycontin since he was a teenager after getting rheumatoid arthritis at age 12, and that during the period of the robberies was injecting 300 millilitres of morphine (prescription and black market pills which he cooked for injection) every day. His daily routine, he said, was to shop for CONTINUED ON A4

WILL JOHNSON Nelson Star

Approximately 500 Nelsonites marched down Baker St. and congregated on the steps of city hall as part of the global Walk with the World climate march on Sunday afternoon, led by the newly-created Green Team from Mount Sentinel Secondary. Residents of all ages participated, including representatives from local churches, the Citizen’s Climate Lobby, the West Kootenay EcoSociety and a variety of other organizations. The crowd also included Wildflower students Phoenix and Sequoia Hayden, who marched with their teacher Krista Lynch. Recently two other Wildflower students, Parker Hargreaves and Fiona Rooney-Fredrick, spoke to city council about the pressing need for climate action.

“I think that’s amazing that two nine-year-old girls would do something like that,” said organizer Michael Jones, who put together the march with his wife Liz Barbour. In the days before the event Jones told the Star he was inspired to help after seeing the growing effects of climate disruption around his home in the Slocan Valley. “I think everyone knows how urgent this is,” he said, comparing the situation to that of Easter Island. “At some point someone has to say ‘Bob, that’s the last tree over there.’” Jones spoke personally to Mayor Deb Kozak, who recently broke her elbow, but assured him the city wholeheartedly supported the event. She sent acting mayor Valerie Warmington in her place. “What a fantastic turnout,” said Warmington. “I hope you know

how much your city supports you in moving towards a reduction of greenhouse gases and a mitigation of climate change as well as adaptation to the inevitable consequences of climate change we’re already seeing.” Jones chose not to have any other speeches during the event, because he feels all that needed to be said was represented by the people in attendance. “The march is the message,” he said. Humans of Nelson author Ryan Oakley took a shot of the crowd to be shared with the other 600,000 people globally that marched in 175 countries. Warmington told the crowd there’s reason for hope. “I think we have open eyes and ears in Ottawa these days, so hopefully Canada will take the leadership role it has to take on this issue.”

pills on the street every morning and get high the rest of the day. Stevenson said not only did he not remember the robberies, he had no memory of planning them, of using a sawed-off shotgun, of whether the shotgun was kept in the house, or whether Kalmikoff confronted him about the shotgun which, according to her testimony last week, was kept for some time in

the bedroom closet. He didn’t remember when the couple moved from Salmo to Slocan. He also said he didn’t remember how much money he gained from the robberies or what he spent it on. And he said he remembers neither running back to the car in the parking lot from the robbery nor the subsequent car chase to the Kootenay Canal. He said he has some memory

of the police chase once they reached the Kootenay Canal, and of jumping off the bridge to escape the police. Given his bad memory, Patola wondered how he could be certain that Kalmikoff was unaware of his activities. “You said she did not know [you were committing robberies], but you really don’t know if she did or not, because of your

memory,” Patola charged. “That is a fair assumption,” Stevenson replied. “You can’t know what she knew.” “That’s right.” Stevenson’s was the final evidence in the trial. Final summations to the jury took place Tuesday, past the Star’s deadline. For the latest on the case, see nelsonstar.com.

Runaway vehicles not properly secured, report finds NELSON STAR STAFF WorkSafeBC says a dump truck, trailer, and excavator that went over a bank in Nelson last month weren’t properly secured. An inspection report noted that on Nov. 14, an excavator was being loaded onto a trailer connected to a dump truck that was facing down Anderson St. on a 12 per cent grade. As the excavator was being

driven up the trailer ramp, its weight caused the trailer tongue to lift the rear of the dump truck, enough to overcome the truck’s ability to hold the unit on the slope. The truck-trailer unit went down the road and veered over an embankment. The operator jumped from the excavator as the unit began to run away and was later taken to hospital with

non-life-threatening injuries. Although the wheel of the front trailer axle had been chocked, it wasn’t effective at holding the trailer. Contributing factors included the wet road, pebbles on the street dropped by the city due to previous icy conditions, the steepness of the hill, and the lack of a parking brake on the trailer. WorkSafeBC said the incident

contravened occupational health and safety regulations that require operators not to leave the controls of a vehicle unattended unless secured against inadvertent movement. The employer, Royal E. Holdings Ltd., has been ordered to develop assessment procedures to ensure its trucks and trailers are secured prior to loading equipment.

Argenta, Nelson artists nab Sculpturewalk awards CHELSEA NOVAK Castlegar News

A pair of Argenta sculptors took home the People’s Choice Award at Castlegar’s 2015 Sculpturewalk Gala. Regeneration, by Christopher Petersen and Spring Shine, is made from 1,300 feet of logging cable sculpted into a hollow stump with a bench inside. It weighs around 1,300 lbs. “We called it Regeneration because we put a small cedar tree growing out of it and we wanted to kind of celebrate the way that the forest has supported our communities,” explained Shine. “Our cities, our communities have grown from the wood that we’ve harvested, and yet this new life is growing out of it.” “And the materials that we used are literally used to harvest logs,” added Petersen. This is Petersen’s third year participating in Sculpturewalk and Shine’s fourth year. They were both humbled and grateful to win this year’s People’s Choice. “It’s a pat on the back, and in the case of Sculpturewalk and people like Spring and I who … because of our personalities, we don’t really need inspiration so much for doing things, but certainly having a piece win is a great inspiration, a pat on the back, and a stepping stone for what might happen,” said Petersen. He and Shine also won second place in the Artistic Merit category. Charlene Covington, president of Sculpturewalk, explained that

Christopher Peterson (second from right) and Spring Shine (right) won the 2015 Sculpturewalk People’s Choice Award for their sculpture Regeneration. Charlene Covington, president of Sculpturewalk and Castlegar Mayor Lawrence Chernoff presented the award. “this category is juried by local and regional members of the arts community based on a variety of criteria, including skill of the portrayal, use of the medium, complexity, workmanship and overall artistic merit.” First place in Artistic Merit went to Nathan Smith from Nelson for V Formation, which also took second place in the People’s Choice Award category. Smith’s sculpture was inspired by kinetic sculpture artist Bob Potts and was made using recycled bicycle parts. He says that being part of Sculpturewalk has encouraged him to push himself as an artist. “It’s so good to have a place, a platform to actually show your art. I’ve been in it for three years now and it’s really encouraged me as

an artist to explore the medium and push the boundaries, where without this opportunity, I know I wouldn’t have been able to do that,” said Smith. The awards ceremony was followed by entertainment provided by Nelson comedians Lucas Myers and Bessie Wapp, and dance numbers by the Circus Act Insomniacs. With the exception of Regeneration, which the City of Castlegar will buy for its permanent collection, this year’s pieces can still be claimed by businesses, groups, or individuals. Purchasing or leasing a piece helps support the artists who’ve contributed. “When we sell or lease a piece, the bulk of the money goes back to the artist, so that really helps keep the artists motivated to want to put their pieces in,” said Covington.

said. “It was unreal what they came to us with. Our business and our clientele are in a more fortunate position, and we wanted to share that and give people something warm.” Baio said he also got contributions from some of his suppliers. “We asked if they had stuff that maybe had

blemishes and were not going to be sold but that were still good to wear. It’s about networking and relationships with our suppliers,” he said. Each year the project has given away 200 coats. Those not given away at Community Connect Day have gone to local charitable organizations.

Making a better world starts with us

e live in a pluralistic society in which many different interest groups compete for the right to determine how things go. In Nelson we have a population of just over 10,000 people, some with louder voices than others. An extremely important part of any elected representative’s job is to represent all voices both loud and soft. Transparency, public discussion and the freedom to express one’s views is at the foundation of our democracy. Emotions can run high, stances can be taken, people can even get upset. This is democracy, this is freedom, this is how we grow and become more understanding of each other. This is how we collectively find our way and move closer to becoming an inclusive, caring, sustainable community that leaves no one excluded. Nelson is a community that cares. This is evident by the number of organizations and people engaged in helping others. To each and every one of you who has taken the time to attend a council meeting, send an email, or write a letter, thank you! To everyone who volunteers or contributes to help out in any way, thank you! We are living in a time of great change and transition. We are awakening to the fact that we must pay attention to how we

Along with our regional partners we are working to reduce waste and best manage recycling. Advocating for local food production, supporting local markets and composting has become an important discussion around the council table. It is important to remember that every action no matter how small, even sharing a smile or picking up a piece of litter is contributing forward momentum to a better world. It is easy to become overwhelmed with the speed and magnitude of world events, shrug our shoulders and think “What difference can I make?” Please, lift your eyes and look around. We are not alone.

Nelson city councillor Michael Dailly shares this space each week with his council colleagues.

appalled and extremely frustrated by the lack of action regarding access issues the Stores to Shores project has created in front of my office. I made the city aware of these concerns in early September, and have sent several subsequent emails, but have yet to receive any type of reply. My patience has run out. Due to the unplanned changes in the elevation of Hall St. in front of my office, my disabled clients have been unable to access orthodontic services since mid-July. The

city seems to feel that this is acceptable, and that remediation of these concerns can wait until next year. The city has partially completed work and then abandoned it. The lack of planning and foresight in this project is astounding, especially considering how much project consultant MMM has been paid. There was no detailed plan for dealing with the consequences to the alley or the area in front of my office, so instead it seems to have been placed in the “too hard” basket. Why are

The new Hall St. construction in front of Bibby Orthodontics is causing problems for patients, Dr. Kathryn Bibby writes. Bill Metcalfe photo the city managers not being held accountable? The inaccessibility of the disabled parking space and the loss of level access is completely unacceptable. There is no other way for clients with mobility issues to access my office. My patients must be seen every two months to progress their treatment and prevent negative consequences, but the city is denying this. Delivery access is also blocked which is impacting my staff and my business. I ask the city to please take action immediately to rectify problems this construction project has caused. Dr. Kathryn Bibby Nelson

Family grateful for help

Our dear son, John F. Vincent, was reported missing during the last week of September, causing our family in Ontario to be frantic with worry. The Nelson Police Department, Nelson Search and Rescue, the Nelson Star, and the community of Nelson worked together and our boy was found and his body was returned to us in Ontario. We thank you all so very much. John was a good kid,

Thanks to Nelson Hydro

Once again I think it is time to thank the men of Nelson Hydro who cleared the power outage out on Highway 3A on the last snowfall. We sometimes forget how challenging it must be to clear the lines of fallen trees — particularly as we are cozy around our “wee doozie” as my Scot father-in-law used to call the comforting blaze in the fireplace (or woodstove). Once again, thank you guys (and the gals who patiently answer phone queries). M.A. Rhodes Nelson

Living on past glories in BC

I often recall those

times with a group of close friends when we would reflect on our many shared adventures. Now, with age and arthritis comes the need to make the best of the new reality. When I read about BC’s Premier Clark continuing to float on the past glory of a now frozen carbon tax, I can’t help but think that she too needs to step in to the new reality. The current carbon tax, frozen at $30 per metric ton, will not achieve the emission reductions that are required. To be effective, a carbon tax needs to gradually increase to fairly reflect the real costs of carbon on the health of the planet and to send signals to industry to help them transition to a carbon neutral economy. The current BC carbon tax and Alberta’s ante in of $30 per metric ton should not be interpreted as the “final solution.” It is the minimum bid to enter the game of effective climate action. In BC, if you place the minimum bid and also invest in new carbonbased industries, it becomes clear there is no serious intent to effectively play the game. Johanna Sandkuhl Nelson

From Paris with … shoes, people power and, of course, Trudeau Montana Burgess lives in the Slocan Valley and works as the community organizer with the West Kootenay EcoSociety. She is in Paris at the international climate conference as the head of logistics for the Climate Action NetworkInternational delegation, the largest non-government network working on the climate crisis. Additionally, she will be coordinating with Canadian organizations attending the summit and following developments and Canada’s contributions to the Paris climate deal. Burgess has done similar work at eight previous international climate change conferences. In three columns from Paris for the Star, she will cover the mood and the activities in Paris, and provide insights into what the developments could mean for the West Kootenay and its citizens.

housands of pairs of shoes covered the Paris plaza, Place de la Republique, on Sunday morning. These represented the 400,000 people planning to march in Paris on the global day of climate action before the start of the UN climate talks. As I walked around the shoes and to the monument covered with flowers, cards and art, dedicated to mourning the victims of the recent attacks in Paris, I felt an overwhelming sense of humanity and humility. The nightclub shootings, which were the majority of the killed victims of the attacks, held a concert by one of my favourite American rock bands, Eagles of Death Metal. I’ve snuck out at night on several occasions on my trips to the climate talks in European cities to see other bands in this genre play concerts, because they rarely tour in Canada. If that concert had been this week, that would have been me. I would have made sure to be there. These are my people, who like the same things as me, who are my age, who share some of my values. I am mourning those who could have been me. When I walked back over to the 22,000 pairs of shoes, including Pope Francis’ and UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon’s, it hit me harder than ever: these shoes are also from my people, people in Paris wanting to be part the solution. People standing up for those on the front lines, those most af-

Site C Dam is overkill

The BC government has approved the construction of the Site C Dam. This huge dam will cost BC taxpayers $8.3 billion. This dam will flood over 57,000 acres of agricultural land. Once again, there has been a lack of consultation with our native people. There are currently four court

Climate Comment fected by climate change in small island states, in Canada’s Arctic, low-income people, women, and children donated their shoes when they couldn’t march in their own streets. There’s a lot of bad news every day, but there are also a lot of beautiful people willing to risk personal comfort for the belief that a better and more fair world is possible, like the 10,000 Parisians who formed a human chain on Sunday across Paris, despite the French government banning public demonstrations. This weekend over 600,000 people gathered in 175 countries to call for real climate action and a transition to 100 per cent renewable energy economies. From the faith community, 1.8 million people signed a petition for compassionate climate action, which was delivered to the UN, all the way to the West Kootenay where over 900 people came out in Nelson, Castlegar, and Rossland to say the time to act on climate, for real, is now. This is not simply a moment; this is truly a people powered movement. I’m filled with hope as over 150 heads of state join the UN climate summit to reaffirm their vision and commitments for climate action, not because of their words, but because they are all here with plans on the table and with citizens back home ready to hold them accountable and demand more. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has made symbolic leaps forward already. He’s changed the title of the ministry that covers all things environmental to the Ministry of Environment and Climate

cases put forth by the native people. They have to raise their own court costs, while we, the people of BC, are paying for the government’s lawyers. Such a large dam is not needed. Construction of smaller, local dam sites would be more cost effective, more environmentally friendly, destroy much less agricultural land, and would be more acceptable to our native

Change. This official title makes climate change in Canada an accessible term, one we can openly talk about around the dinner table, and one we will take seriously. He’s also said that there will be a new tanker ban on BC’s north coast. This effectively ends Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline, which is unwanted by most British Columbians, as increased tar sands outputs via BC’s north coast cannot be exported to foreign markets for processing without increased tanker traffic. In his opening speech on Monday in Paris, Trudeau said “Canada is back.” It’s a great first step that he’s committed to work with provinces and territories to develop a pan-Canadian climate change framework following the Paris agreement, but what about during the Paris negotiations? Trudeau has committed a substantial financial package to help developing countries transition to renewable energy and adapt to the impacts of climate change. However, Canada’s fair share is $4 billion per year by 2020 from public sources. A great way to find this money would be to get rid of Canada’s federal fossil fuel subsidies. There would be more than enough money to support developing countries and invest in renewable energy solutions at home in Canada. Canadians want a global climate agreement. Eighty-four per cent want the Government to create jobs in renewable energy in Canada according to a recent survey from Climate Action Network Canada. We need to transition to 100 per cent renewable energy in Canada by 2050 to avoid the climate crisis. Cities like Vancouver have already made this commitment and are developing plans to ensure they meet this target. We need the federal government, provincial and territorial governments, as well as local governments, even here in the West Kootenay, to be leaders, to be more creative and innovative and to do their fair share to ensure we can stay below 1.5 degree C by the end of the century. Otherwise, our dry winter and summer droughts that we experienced this year are going to be normal for our children and grandchildren. That is not fair and I would not want to be in that generation’s shoes.

population after proper consultation and agreement. The amount of power that Site C will produce is overkill for the present and future times. I fear that it is too much to expect the provincial courts to rule against the government given the fact that construction has already begun. Bob Abrahams Nelson

Nelsonites flock to funeral home Art Party WILL JOHNSON Nelson Star

Thompson Funeral Home may strike you as an unlikely venue for a cross-genre celebration of local creativity, but approximately 130 artists, fans and their friends came out for a night of dance, classical and contemporary music, rap, visual art and literary readings last week during the lead-up to the Blue Night culture crawl. “Art Party is an allinclusive party for everybody in the community,” host Zaynab Mohammed told the Star after the event, noting their unorthodox venue couldn’t have worked out better. “It was their first time opening that space as a venue for anything other than a funeral, and it was really unique and beautiful. I would definitely do it there again.” The night included performances from harpist Teyana Neufeld, who shared an intensely personal, newly-written song as well as some of

her older compositions. Selkirk College band Willow Talk, featuring Blair Ferguson wearing teardrop face-stickers and a bright orange wig, also played a raucous set. Local writer and Selkirk College creative writing instructor Leesa Dean read the title story from her upcoming collection of short fiction Waiting for the Cyclone. Mohammed said the audience was rapt during her performance. “You could feel her passion. I looked around and everyone was focused in and engaged.” Meanwhile, at the back of the room, Gavin (The Glass Man) Holland was showing off his colourful work, some of which has been created using found materials. The night included dance performances, multiple concerts from performers such as rapper Dazza, face-painting, snacks and community fun. “We’re here to celebrate each other,” said Mohammed.

EcoSociety fair showcases local talent SUBMIT TED Black Press

The West Kootenay EcoSociety is once again putting on its annual Winter Craft Fair. This year’s fair will be for just one day, Saturday, Dec. 12, so don’t miss out. This event takes place at the Central School Gym in Nelson and runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. All products on offer are hand-made locally so you know you are supporting the local economy when you shop at this fair. EcoSociety markets director Jesse Woodward said he was thrilled when, like last year, all 28 tables for this market sold out very quickly. “This shows that vendors are excited to be in this fair and that kind of excitement is really appealing,” he said, adding “customers will really appreciate the quality and diversity of the offerings at the Winter Craft Fair

The Winter Craft Fair, which offers items like these, is the last local market of the year. Submitted photo and knowing that you are supporting the local economy just makes the whole shopping experience a delightful activity.” Customers will recognize many vendors from the Downtown, C ottonwood and MarketFest events also run by the EcoSociety. Like the summer markets there will be a wide variety of items for sale including body care prod-

ucts, clothes, hats, photography, baked goods, amazing pottery and much, much more. The Winter Craft Fair will be the last chance of the 2015 market season to shop at these market vendors’ stalls. If you miss this opportunity you will have to wait until midMay when Cottonwood Community Market starts up once again for a new market season.

One step forward, one step back for Leafs Nelson beats Golden to snap losing streak, but then falls to Columbia Valley

Join the Leafs

T YLER HARPER

Saturday December 12 to support The Special Olympics through a silent auction at the game!

Nelson Star

The losing streak is over for the Nelson Leafs but a new one may have just started for the injury-riddled team. The Leafs ended a fivegame slide Friday with a 5-0 win over the Golden Rockets, but took another step back Saturday with a 4-2 loss against the Columbia Valley Rockies. Nelson (13-12-1) finished November with just two wins in nine games. Leafs head coach David McLellan was optimistic Monday after what he thought was a positive two-game road trip. “We had a really good weekend. We played really well,” said McLellan. “The first night played a very good game, 5-0, and basically a 2-2 tie going into the third against a good team with Columbia Valley. Other than the power play at the end of the game, we had a chance to win that game. “With such a short bench we were really happy with how we played that game.” Six players are currently off the roster with injuries, and McLellan said he doubted the team would get much healthier until after the Christmas break. After a scoreless first period Friday the Leafs made a breakthrough in the second against league-worst Golden (2-23-3). Tyler Garcia, Kolten Nelson, Samuel Weber and Eamonn Miller each scored, while Jordan Davie added another in the third.

“We outworked them I thought in the first period quite a bit, we just didn’t score on our chances,” said McLellan. “In the second the opportunities we got we really capitalized. It was a game where a lot of the stuff we’ve been working on really came together. A really good defensive game as well and we continued that into the second game on the weekend.” The deficit could have been much greater had the Leafs been more effective on the power play. They finished just 1-for-11 against the Rockets and 1-for-16 through both games. Leafs goaltender Patrick Ostermann finished with 23 saves for the shutout, while Rockets netminder Brody Nelson turned aside 24 shots. Garcia and Weber also scored for Nelson against Columbia Valley on Saturday. Michael Cardinal opened the scoring in the second with a shorthanded goal for the Rockies (15-14-0), while Nick Hoobanoff, Colby Sherlock and Doan Smith also

added goals. Despite a 2-2 tie, the Leafs came undone in the third. Nelson suffered a pair of penalties as well as 10-minute misconducts for Garcia and Matthew Sokol with less than a minute left. Sherlock and Smith put the Rockies ahead for good as Columbia Valley outshot Nelson 18-5 during the frame. “We thought we outplayed them to be honest,” said McLellan. Rockies goalie Giovanni Sambrielaz earned the win with 28 saves. Ostermann meanwhile stopped 37 shots at the other end of the ice. The Leafs are third in the Neil Murdoch Division and one point ahead of the Grand Forks Border Bruins with two games in hand. Nelson contin-

ues its road trip tonight against the Castlegar Rebels and Friday against the Kimberley Dynamiters. The Leafs return home Saturday for another game against Columbia Valley. McLellan said his team will have to stay smart on the ice until reinforcements arrive. “We’re going to have play really structured and stay disciplined in games,” he said. “We can’t afford penalties with such a short bench. So we’ve got to get healthy, that’s the big thing.”

Two Trafalgar teams played each other Monday in the final of the West Kootenay junior girls volleyball playoffs. The A team beat the B team in two straight, 25-18 and 25-19. Each finished first in their respective pools at Mount Sentinel on Friday night. Because they were running behind schedule, they decided to play the best-of-three final at Trafalgar in front of the entire student body. “They were pretty nervous playing in front of their peers and teach-

ers but they enjoyed all the support,” said coach Staci Proctor. Other teams at the regional playoffs were from Grand Forks, Castlegar, Mount Sentinel, Rossland, Trail and Salmo. In the round robin, the Trafalgar A team only lost once, against Grand Forks, and won their other nine. The B team fell only twice, to Mount Sentinel and Grand Forks, and won the other eight. Most schools had two teams, except Rossland and Salmo.

Holiday train returning to Nelson NELSON STAR STAFF

Singer-songwriter Jim Cuddy, his son Devin, and country singer Kelly Prescott will headline the CP Holiday Train when it returns to Nelson this month. Two brightly lit trains will visit about 150 communities across Canada and the US to collect food and cash donations for food banks. While there’s no charge for the show, you’re asked to bring a non-perishable food item or money. All money and food raised stays in the

local community. “The Holiday Train is an amazing expression of old-timey Canadian joy,” said Cuddy, who received the Order of Canada last month. “To be on board an old, refurbished train and travelling through the nooks and crannies of this country is an aweinspiring experience.” It’s the 17th year that the holiday train has rolled along the tracks and at least the third time it has visited Nelson. The show will be at the railway crossing at Lakeside Park on Monday, Dec. 14 from 6:45 to 7:15 p.m.

Lions Park rink takes shape The CP Holiday Train will be at Lakeside Park on Dec. 14.

Last week the Nelson Lions Club installed the boards for their skating rink in Lions Park, an annual project for many years. It’s the only public outdoor skating rink in Nelson. The club says it was fortunate to have many volunteers of all sizes and ages. Two volunteers started flooding the rink that night and were at it all week. If the cool weather continues there may be skating this week. Submitted photo

TOP TEN REASONS TO SHOP NELSON AND AREA •Uniqueness! Give a Gift made locally by a hot new artist, and treasure a one of a kind, unique and original gift. •Great Savings! Save time, save gas and save your nerves by avoiding big city traffic jams, or sitting at the border, unless you enjoy being hassled by a customs official. •Keep More Money in Our Community! Shopping in our region sustains more jobs, helps fund more local services, and encourages neighborhood improvement. •Local Business Supports Local Organizations! Local business’s contribute significant dollars to local non-profit groups and sports teams. •Our Distinctive Character! Our area specialty shops and boutiques, and one of a kind businesses are part of the fabric that gives us distinctive flavour, let’s shop locally and keep that character vibrant. •Encourage Local Prospertity! Entrepreneurs are more likely to invest and settle in communities that will preserve their one of a kind businesses and character. •Reduced Environmental Impact! Help sustain walkable downtowns, and shorter drives to shopping destinations. That in turn reduces automobile use and air pollution. •Excellent Customer Service! Receive customer service with a personal touch. Isn’t it nice when they know your name? •Rewarding! Reward yourself with a special gift with all the money you saved shopping locally, rather than spending $100’s of dollars on gas, accomodations, meals and travelling out of town. •Wise Investment! Spend more time enjoying the holidays and less time exhausted and stressed from countless hours behind the wheel and shopping out of town in crowded, hectic malls.

Feline hero will take audiences on Capitol Theatre quest

Ashley and Kay welcome you to NELSON!

CONTINUED FROM A1 cited to share the stage with Bronwen Bird, who will play Señorita Applesauce. “You never know who I might meet while I’m putting this plan into action,” he said. “But my heart belongs to her.” Boots was dismissive of past versions of Puss in Boots, including Antonio Banderas’ turn in the Shrek movies. He says they’re all poor versions of the real thing. “I am the real Puss in Boots. I would say I’m a gato that likes adventure and fun. I have some very good dance moves I can share with you. And I’m mysterious and handsome, of course.” Boots, whose alter ego is Liesl Forst, considers it his quest to raise funds

for the Capitol Theatre, and he will heroically fight towards that end. This year’s pantomime is directed by Jeff Forst, with musical direction by Darren Fuss, choreography by Danielle Gibson and costumes by Kyla Hurst. Puss in Boots opens at the Capitol Theatre on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. It will also go up Friday and Saturday at the same time. There will be matinees on Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. “There will be much romance and dancing and singing, plus you get to cheer for me — which is fabulous,” said Boots. “Many, many people are coming to help me tell the wonderful tale of me.”

friend who is struggling with affordable housing and can’t find a place to live. The show will tell the story of Puss’ quest to transform his struggling friend into “The Marquis De Cannabas.” “In order to move up in the ranks of the world you must lie, cheat and steal,” Boots said. “But you can do this in a way that’s still pretty nice. You don’t have to hurt people, you just slightly take advantage of them.” He will teach his friend how to do exactly that. “We must create a facade and convince everyone he is this person, so everything will be successful for him.” Boots is especially ex-
