On Sunday, the Nelson Cycling Club organized a group ride and BBQ to celebrate the grand opening of the newly completed trail in the Small Wood creek area above Beasley. About 30 riders came out to ride the new trail and to vote on the new trail name. After completing the 22 km, 1000-meter ride with epic

views and sweet single track, the crew voted and chose the name, Vallelujah. Local, Katie Mitchell had suggested the trail name and because her trail name was chosen from about 100 other entries, she won a $200 gift certificate to the bike shop of her choice, sponsored by Nelson and District Credit Union.

Author talk! Ruth Ozecki Sunday, Sept. 25 at 11am at the Best Western Inn. “Ruth Ozeki is bent on taking the novel into corners of American culture no one else has thought to look – but where she finds us in all our transcultural and technological weirdness. With a combination of humor and pathos that is all her own, Ozeki brings the American pastoral forward into the age of agribusiness and
genetic engineering. The result is a smart and compelling novel about a world we don’t realize we live in.” -Michael Pollan, Author of “The Botany of Desire”

Evening clothes vs. day clothes. What would you choose? If you are a vintage lover, I would suggest making your way down to Touchtones to see “Night or Day”. This fabulous installation shows the progression in women, men and children’s clothing throughout the eras. The artifacts on display are part of Touchtones permanent collection to highlight changes that have occurred in fashion during a 60 year time period including the Depression, two world wars, socio-cultural shift and media technology. The pieces on display are outstanding. There are all sorts including the 40s crepe, 60s scooter and of course the 50s housewife dress. Not only do the mannequins look great, the display cases are beautifully arranged. There is children’s clothing, old bathing suits and my favourite- the vintage lingerie display. I love old lingerie. Stockings, garters, high waisted shorts and bullet bras. It’s interesting to see how women used to wear full corsets, stockings, bras and high waisted underwear all at once. You would even wear a corset when you were pregnant! Ouch. It’s really something to see how we have progressed through our clothing. In the 20s women rebelled, cut their hair and ditched the stockings and garters. Then during the war women worked
in factories, wore pants and did the work of men. Fast forward to the 50s, and they went back to their feminine ways, became the ultimate housewives looking up to women like June Cleaver, Marilyn Monroe and Jane Rusell. Whereas the men would always look dapper in suits and hats, sporty tweed jackets and pants. The rebel man of course would be in jeans and a white t-shirt with slicked hair and a leather jacket: the ultimate James Dean.
Nonetheless clothing still represents who we are and our individual style. Clothing used to stand for how wealthy you were or your gender. Whereas now we can be free to express who we are through our clothing which is a step ahead. On that note, make sure you head down to Touchtones and visit the Night or Day Installation. The show runs until November 20th. You will be in love xxoo www.nelsonmuseum.ca for more information.

Morning Show Expands
#3 502 Baker Street. Nelson, BC. 250.354.4843 Page 4
In an effort to reach more of its listening area, the Kootenay Coop Radio morning show, previously known as Nelson Before Nine, became “Kootenay Morning” on September 6th. Program coordinator Mark Stevens says it’s a move to include the listeners in the three other areas the station now serves. “With transmitters in New Denver (107.5FM), Crawford Bay (96.5FM) and a rebroadcast into Crescent Valley and Castlegar (101.5FM), we wanted to reach more of those listeners every morning, and the name change was just one way to become more inclusive.”
Along with the name change and the addition of a Friday show to the existing Tuesday to Thursday 7:30-9AM lineup, the program wants to attract more citizen journalists, hosts and segment producers to the dedicated volunteer group that helps create the program. If you have a local story idea, a desire to discover and tell the stories of the West Kootenay, or are interested in work behind the scenes to produce a regional radio program, contact the show at 250-352-9600 or by email at km@kootenaycoopradio.com

Ed Solo
Friday, September 16 SpiritBar
Strangely enough for an artist named Ed Solo, this prolific producer used to be best known for his collaborations with other artists. Deekline, Krafty Kuts, Skool of Thought, drum ‘n’ bass legend Brockie - all have benefited from getting Ed alongside them in the studio. Ed Solo is an iconic artist on each of the drum ‘n’ bass, breaks and dubstep scenes. In the latter field, he’s recently been creating a firestorm with Sludge Records, the label he co-runs with Deekline (the pair also run booty breaks imprint Hot Cakes together). A true Jedi master of sonic science: no one makes club music that cuts through a sound-system quite like him. Expect clear, crisp, music production quality!

Randy and
Lahey The Royal on Baker Fri Sept 23rd Nova Scotian comedic legends The Trailer Park Boys need little introduction to comedy fans around the world. When the first season aired in 2001 on Showcase, people were immediately captivated by the “mockumentary” style of filming, base humour and lovable, if somewhat flawed, characters in the show. Julian, Ricky and Bubbles are a gang of friends always looking for easy money through petty crime. Their adversaries in the Sunnyvale Trailer Park are former police officer, turned alcoholic park manager Jim Lahey, and his assistant/ lover Randy. Famous for his compilation of sayings using the letter word for feces, unprintable here, Jim Lahey has provided some of the funniest lines ever on the show. Randy, ex-male prostitute and cheeseburger affectionado, is known for his tight white pants and refusal to ever wear a shirt . And they’re coming to town! Featuring stand-up comedy from the whiskey-drinking and burger-addicted duo, this white trash theme party has guests Skidney And Sleazel, and DJ Rhapsody spinning all your favourites. Low-brow drink specials! Side-splitting comedy! Randy and Lahey! It’s Canadian humour at it’s best....

Nelson Doctor
Goes to Africa
Dr. Remi Champagne of Sparkling Life Family Chiropractic has “helping others” in his blood. He comes from a family of chiropractors with, at last count, 23 in his immediate and extended family. He trained at prestigious Life University near Atlanta, Georgia, the largest chiropractic school in the world. “It’s one of the few remaining schools that really holds true to the way chiropractic started. I want to focus on people’s life energy flow and overall body health not just aches and pains,” says Dr. Champagne. His Sparkling Life Clinic (on Nelson Avenue) has been around for
A Strong Voice Standing Up For You www.michellemungall.ca Page 8
over a year with an ever-growing list of clients. At the end of the month Dr. Champagne is off to Ghana, Africa for two weeks to join Chiropractic for the World Foundation (chiropracticfortheworld.org). “The ultimate mission is to bring sustainable care, to train people in those areas to become chiropractors so that they can bring it back to their people. We’re going out there and adjusting as many people as we possibly can, setting up wherever we can: churches, hospitals, open fields”.

Joke of the Week
Random Trivia
A new pastor was visiting the homes of his parishioners. At one house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a card and wrote “Revelation 3:20” on the back of it and stuck it in the door. When the offering was processed the following Sunday, he found that his card had been returned. Added to it was this cryptic message, Genesis 3:10.” Reaching for his Bible to check out the citation, he broke up in gales of laughter. Revelation 3:20 begins “Behold, I stand at the door and knock.” Genesis 3:10 reads, “I heard your voice in the garden and I was afraid, for I was naked.”

Woman Calls Man
65,000 Times
A 42-year-old woman has been charged with stalking after she allegedly called a man she claimed was her ex-boyfriend 65,000 times in the past year, according to an official. The 62-year-old victim from The Hague filed a police complaint in August due to the persistent phone calls. Police arrested the suspected stalker Monday, seizing several
cell phones and computers from her home in Rotterdam. Hague prosecution spokeswoman Nicolette Stoel said Thursday the woman argued to judges at a preliminary hearing she had a relationship with the man and the number of calls she placed to him wasn’t excessive. The man denied they had a relationship. The court ordered her not to contact him again.
