The discovery of a house outside Nelson’s limits that’s getting municipal water for free (and has been for decades) has prompted council to explore expanding the city’s boundaries to legitimize the connection. City crews found the water connection to 1223 Mountain Station Rd. this September as they relocated the water main that connects the Mountain Station reservoir to the city. The connection was a mystery at first as the property was not on the city’s billing system and no annual fees had

Travel services gone in province-wide cuts but Baker Street branch will stay open independent travel agency model profitably,” said Bullis. “What’s more, the emergence of the Internet has enabled suppliers to cut distribution costs by selling directly to customers, and increased the comfort of consumers to do their own trip-planning and booking. Travel revenues have been steadily declining, and BCAA has been unable to operate travel profitably for several years.” BCAA will cut 157 fulltime and part-time jobs across the province. BCAA Travel will continue to operate by phone through its Burnaby-based customer contact centre, and online at www.bcaa.com.

Opinions & Letters

November 4, 2009

Editorial The lessons from a life taken too early Lt. Robert Hampton Gray died at the age of 27 in the last days of the Second World War. There is much to commemorate his remarkable career in the Royal Canadian Air Force, but what becomes obvious in researching the man is he died too young to create many memories outside his military service, a fact that applies to all the men and women who die serving our country in war. As Remembrance Day approaches and we remember the sacrifices of those who served in the Canadian Services and those who continue to do so now, it’s worth reflecting on the fact Gray and thousands of other young men and women lost their chance to live a full life. Gray, from Nelson, left the University of British Columbia in 1940 to join the Royal Canadian Naval Volunteer

Reserve. He served in Africa and the United Kingdom and in 1945, Gray’s ship, the HMS Formidable, was assigned to the Pacific theatre of the war. Gray distinguished himself many times, earning several medals in the process. On August 9, 1945 his squadron attacked ships harboured in Onagawa Bay, the attack that would take Gray’s life. His Vought Corsair was carrying “skipping bombs,” which had a high probability of hitting their target but required the pilot to fly in low and straight at the target, making the planes vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire. Gray led the attack through heavy fire. His plane caught fire and one of the skipping bombs fell off. With his last bomb, Gray attacked a Japanese ship and sunk it. Recollections from his com-

rades patch together what likely happened. They suspect Gray was wounded because instead of avoiding fire from the Japanese defenders, his plane made a slow turn, rolled upside down and plunged into the bay. His plane was never found. For his exploit, Gray was awarded the Victoria Cross, one of the highest military honours that was given to just 13 Canadians during the Second World War. There’s a certain amount of tragedy in the timing of Gray’ sdeath. That same day, August 9, 1945, the second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. Five days later Japan surrendered, ending the war. Gray’s memories lived on past him. He was survived by his parents and his good humour was fondly recalled by friends and comrades. The Gray Building in Nelson, home to the post office,

was named after him. The bridge that spans the pool in Gyro Park bears his name and there are memorials in front of the Gray Building and inside the Royal Canadian Legion. Gray’s Peak is named after Robert and his brother, John, who also died in the Second World War. There’s a lesson to be learned in Gray’s short life. We should appreciate what we have and the opportunities that surround us. We should appreciate them not only because men and women like Gray died to ensure we have them, but we should appreciate them because those people gave up their chance to a long life to protect us. The lesson in Gray’s life is we must participate in our society to the best of our potential. To do otherwise would not properly respect those who didn’t have the chance to create a lifetime of memories.

Commentary Lower drug costs at who’s expense? Alex Atamanenko is the MP for B.C. Southern Interior. Drug costs are the fastest rising expense in health care and, without a national drug plan, they’ll continue to hit Canadians unevenly and unfairly depending on where we live, whether we’re in hospital or out, if we have a job with a drug plan and how much we make. Last year, Canadians spent $30 billion on medi-

cine – 17 per cent of total health spending. Only hospital costs were higher. With no national system in place for drug purchasing or a national standard, there remains vast differences in drug coverage from province to province. Our national Medicare program spreads the costs for necessary health procedures across the broader

population, but prescribed drug treatments, which are equally as necessary, are not included. This omission challenges our idea of equal access to care as it leaves the financial burden of medication cost on the individual. Why are we paying the third highest prices in the world for brand-name prescription drugs? It is because of the price-setting process favouring “Big Pharma” profits which go unchallenged by the ineffective consumer protection of the Patented Medicines Prices Review Board as well as extended drug patents. The cost of prescription medicine is an unacceptable financial drain. Compounded now by the economic crisis, hundreds of thousands of Canadians are not only losing their jobs, but also the family drug benefits that go with them. The government refuses to take on the big drug companies. Even with the provinces and territories on side, they’ve taken no action on the National Pharmaceutical Strategy. Rather than trying to reduce drug costs, in 2006 the government actually

extended patent protection in spite of opposition protest. To add insult to injury, the promise made in 1987 by the Big Pharma companies to spend 10 per cent of sales revenue on research in exchange for years more monopoly pricing was never kept. Now, Canada has the second worst research and development-to-sales ratio in the industrialized world. And yet, the big pharmaceutical corporations keep coming back for more and the government seems only too willing to pave the way to more profits for them. No big surprise that last June, they caved under the pressure tactics by Big Pharmas and made recommendations to legalize direct-to-consumeradvertising (DTCA) in Bill C-51. Make no mistake, this was about boosting drug sales and revenue at the expense of Canadians’ health. We fought the government then and we’ll fight them again if they try to sneak DTCA into legislation again. The time for federal government action is long overdue. Stop risking lives and start saving them.

Something to think about on Remembrance Day Dear editor, Remembrance Day nears. Canada is at war as I write this; our soldiers are killing and dying. On Wednesday, Nov. 11 we commemorate and grieve our dead in wars. It is inappropriate to do so while we are sending our soldiers to fight now with no good reason for them to die or kill. The war in Asia – where we fight insurgents not unlike those guerillas the U.S. fought in Vietnam (where we rightly refused to join America’s fight) – is a war leaders cannot explain, rationalize, justify, or comprehend. This is about politics, not honouring soldiers. It is appropriate to demonstrate for peace on November 11. Canada has a federal Ministry of Defence, to prepare us for war. Why not have a Ministry for Peace, to be the sane voice at cabinet tables? Why die for Kabul? I will be at the cenotaph Remembrance Day with a sign expressing opinions like these. I hope some other Nelson citizens will join me there, to be seen by their peers. Some will challenge my timing and site. They will respect my right to disagree. I do it in a way that touches people’s emotions in a face-to-face situation. Charles Jeanes, Nelson

Fan the flame and make an Olympic torch On Saturday, Jan. 23, 2010, Nelson citizens will line the streets to welcome the Olympic torch. The Olympic flame has a sacred history and symbolizes the principles of peace and friendship. With that in mind the Nelson Spirit of B.C. Committee is hosting a series of community torch making workshops to create a place to share and celebrate the Olympic torch traditions. The workshops will encourage participants to make their very own interpretation of the Olympic torch. Some torches will be displayed later at various local venues such as Touchstones Nelson, while all others will be hand held or displayed to illuminate the streets at the January torch relay event. Inspired by past designs or motivated by new ideas the torch making can take various shapes

and sizes. The potential is endless, the medium unspecified. Individual, family, school class or team efforts are encouraged. The Nelson committee encourages people to use their creativity to produce a flame without the real fire. The facilitated workshops begin on Sunday, Nov. 8, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at at Touchstones Nelson, 502 Vernon St. The schedule continues with the remaining workshops at the Nelson and District Community Complex on Saturday, Dec. 5, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.; Saturday, Jan. 9, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.; and Saturday, Jan. 23, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. (the day of the torch relay event). Some art materials will be supplied. For more information see www.nelsonsports.ca or www. touchstonesnelson.ca or www. discovernelson.ca. – submitted

Arts & Entertainment Ballet Kelowna creates a ‘Classic Contrast’ Saturday, Nov. 7 8 p.m. at the Capitol Theatre, 421 Victoria St. Audiences will soar with the powerful, uplifting and sultry Classic Contrast, Ballet Kelowna’s seventh season fall tour. Inspired by sonnets and madrigals from William Shakespeare’s plays, In Arden Woods explores the rapturous fragility of Elizabethan love and is choreographed by David LaHay and sung by Kelowna music ensemble Candesca under the direction of Alexandra Babbel. Classic Contrast also features a new ballet by Paul Destrooper, Artistic Director of Ballet Victoria. Le Banc is a whimsical look at young love and relationships set to the glorious Back Cello Suites. The technically demanding pas de trois from Swan Lake Act I, choreographed by the classical choreographer Marius Petipa, displays the great tradition of classical technique and is always an audience favourite. Allegro Per Tre, also danced in the classical tutu style, is a contemporary example of the wonderful ability of today’s young dancers to master the classic ballet technique. In contrast, Vicki St. Denys’ sultry, blues jazz choreography, Indigo Moods is a passionate and sensual work which vibrantly showcases Ballet Kelowna’s signature “inno-classical” style. Tickets are $30, $24 for students or with the season package. Charge by phone 250.352.6363 buy online www.capitoltheatre.bc.ca. – submitted

Ora Cogan and Marin Patenaude

Thursday, Nov. 5, 8 p.m. at The Cocoa-Nut Lounge, 116 Vernon St. Over the past few years Ora Cogan has become a darling of the independent music scene touring worldwide and collaborating with folk and experimental artists including Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir and The Be Good Tanyas. Cogan’s latest album, Harbouring, was released to critical acclaim on Borne Recordings. She has shared the stage with artists such as Tanya Tagaq and Hope Sandoval while touring extensively throughout North America and Europe.

Pureblend

Saturday, Nov. 7 9 p.m. at the The Royal on Baker, 330 Baker St. Pureblend is ready to shake the room with some boom boom from bass, dub, African, stylies, disco, funk and hip hop. Pureblend blesses the dance floor with many various musical styles. The extraordinary pureblend tribe includes keyboard styling from Adrian “BlueHand” Wagner; Andrew “Fingers” Cook on guitar; El Papa Chado on bass; and Matthew Steedman laying down the beats. Rounding it out with vocals and percussion is Ruby Love, chanting and channelling the love peace vibe straight from her very heart and soul.

A Whole Lotta Led

Saturday, Nov. 7 at Finley’s Irish Bar and Grill, 705 Vernon St. A Whole Lotta Led is a B.C.-based Led Zeppelin tribute band that brings down the house delivering the classic, gutsy hard rockin’ blues of Led Zeppelin with the intensity and fearlessness of the band at their early ‘70s peak. A Whole Lotta Led captures the power and the mystery of rock’s most enduring music in a mindblowing time warp. The jawdropping vocals of Plant, the soaring guitar of Page, the earth-shattering drums of Bonham, the gut twisting riffs of Jones’s bass, it’s all here, performed with the soulful passion and instrumental mastery the music deserves.

The Aaron Cadwaladr Band

Monday, Nov. 9 at The Royal on Baker, 330 Baker St. It’s a rare and fine thing when a new voice arrives, fully-realized, on the music scene. From the first note of Aaron Cadwaladr’s folkroots infused debut release Wade Through the Dark, it’s evident that this B.C.-based singer-songwriter has the combination of originality and maturity – an earthy yet sophisticated sensibility – sure to garner him a role among the new generation of artists on this province’s vibrant indie music scene. With a love of acoustic instruments and folk music traditions, a contemporary urban sensibility and a vital and independent voice – Cadwaladr’s first full release is a distinctive addition to

Take Two: IMTV tapes second episode by Stephanie Taylor

Thursday, Nov. 12 8 p.m. at the Spiritbar, 422 Baker St. Following the success of the first live taping in September, Jenna Raider and the IMTV crew are gearing up for episode two, being held Nov. 12 at the Spiritbar. The part variety show, part late-night talk show will be showcasing some of Nelson’s homegrown talent, including funnyman Lucas Myers, sculpturist Marcelle Millaert, and a performance by Cyphanex. There will also be tons of sketch comedy skits, and two locally made films will be screened. On top of the performances, Raider will conduct interviews, late-night style, with the artists. “It’s so often that we see performers in a play or at a show, but we don’t really know anything about them. By doing interviews as well as hosting the performances it gives us a chance to get to know the artists. “There is so much talent here, and we’re so excited to support local talent.” Raider said. She has been involved with the mussic and arts scene in Nelson for years, and said this project is the “perfect marriage of promoting the locals and performing.

Gallstones are a very common ailment in our society. The pain of gallstones is usually experienced after a large fatty meal and has been linked to a diet low in fibre and high in saturated fats. Gallstones are pebble like substances that are formed in the gallbladder. The stones can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a golf ball. Gallstones form when the liquid (called bile) in the gallbladder hardens. Bile contains salts, cholesterol and bilirubin (waste product). If any of these substances are in excess then gallstones can form. There may be hundreds of little stones or just one big stone. The majority of gallstones are called cholesterol stones. Pain from gallstones can occur when a stone moves into the bile duct creating a blockage. Symptoms include pain at the upper right

I recently had the opportunity to read through a well-designed loose-leaf binder publication entitled Prevention of Elder Abuse, A Nelson and Area Resource Manual. When I met with Yvonne Shewfelt, the chairperson of the Nelson and Area Elder Abuse Prevention Project Steering Committee, I learned that, about one year ago, the committee began to plan a process related to their mission statement, which states in part that they seek “to increase societies’ ability to recognise and prevent mistreatment of older people so all adults can be free from abuse, neglect and exploitation.” The development of the �� manual was an early step in � the process. It was funded by the Nelson and District �� Seniors Coordinating Society and the Friends of Nelson Elders, with an �� equal in-kind donation from Nelson Mental Health and Addictions. The manual has six sections: About Abuse;

seniors in B.C. have been financially abused in Been amounts that average over Thinking About $20,000.” Prevention of financial, physical and mental abuse is the manual’s focus. Some locations where this resource is available are the Nelson Municipal Library, the post office, the court library and local George Millar financial institutions.
