The City of Nelson is looking into the feasibility of a heating system that would use Kootenay Lake and geothermal technology to heat and cool a large swath of the city’s lakefront. The request for proposals is for a report on the feasibility of a district energy system, not for the actual building of any infrastructure. The request follows the city’s commitment to the Climate Change Action Charter, says Councillor Donna Macdonald. Macdonald is one of the councillors in charge of the city’s environmental portfolio. “We have this wonderful

CHRIS SHEPHERD

Nelson Becker, owner and publisher of the Express, third from left, is joined by some of the Express staff including Robin Murray, left, Stephanie Taylor, Julia Gillmor, Jenna Semenoff and Chris Shepherd.

Express turns 21 Nelson’s only independent newspaper celebrates over two decades serving community by Chris Shepherd Twenty-one years ago Nelson Becker started the Express with the goal of letting people know about the amazing diversity of events going on in the community. The publication had a different name then but the goal remains the same as the paper looks to the future. Vital to that goal is Becker’s commitment to keep ownership and editorial control in the Kootenays. The Express is one of the few independent newspapers left in the province. “What makes us unique is all our hiring and editorial decisions are made in Nelson. We’re not part of a chain based outside the region.” Becker says the Express is best suited to represent the community because all decisions are made in the community and if someone has

a problem or question about something in the paper, it is easy for them to reach Becker or the editorial staff and talk to them. The Express’s first incarnation was What’s On magazine and it hit the stands in November 1988. The monthly publication centred on an events calendar that captured events in the West Kootenays. The events calendar is still here but What’s On has grown to include much more. In 1990 Becker realized the publication had to grow to better serve the community. So came the Express, a weekly newspaper that continues to publish press releases from everyone who sends one in, but also covers local government and issues important to the community. For Becker, the paper is meant to motivate people to action. He wants people to read the paper and

learn something that will help them navigate the world. What’s On’s staff of two (including Becker) has grown to 11 fulltime and part-time employees and the paper is delivered to every home in the West Kootenays from Ainsworth down the lake to Nelson, south to Ymir, along the highway to Playmor Junction and up to Slocan City. Becker credits the success of the Express to the past and present employees who have worked at the paper. The Express has grown into a relevant medium for community members to express themselves through, says Becker. “I pledge to this community that Nelson and surrounding area can continue to rely on the Express to represent their needs and priorities.”

Council gets tough with illegal housing Landlord’s ‘flagrant’ disregard of city zoning draws attention of city by Chris Shepherd Following up on rumours that a home in the Gryo neighbourhood has been turned into an illegal four-plex, Nelson’s council gave city staff the authority to go in and bring the house up to code at the owner’s expense if the owner doesn’t respond. Council said the landlord of 6 Regent St. has flouted the city’s zoning and ignored a stop-work order. They gave staff the authority to place a notice on the owner’s land title, effectively putting a black mark on the title that would give pause to a

bank considering a mortgage or potential buyer. Council also gave city staff the authority to go in and fix the house themselves if the discussions with the landlord don’t work out. In a report to council, city staff wrote the property owner has not given them access to the building to confirm the status of the building or whether it conforms to the B.C. Building Code or city building bylaw. Councillor Donna Macdonald said she’s seen many situations come before council where people have inadvertently

or overtly done work on their property without the appropriate permits or authorization. “This has to be the most flagrant one that I’ve ever seen.” Macdonald said she’s supporting strong action from council because of the property owner’s disregard of the city bylaws. Coun. Robin Cherbo noted council’s action also sends a message to the community about what is appropriate, and safe, to build in Nelson. “There’s a reason that we have building codes and bylaws and building permits. It’s to [have people]

build proper and safe.” Coun. Deb Kozak said safety wasn’t the only issue at hand. “It’s also about our zoning bylaws. This is a single- or double-family residence neighbourhood and now we supposedly have four illegal suites in operation. That’s not acceptable,” Kozak said. “The more swiftly we take action and the stronger that action is, I think sends a strong message to the property owner to comply.” City staff will try to hold further discussions with the landlord before proceeding with any forcible work on the home.

“to reduce isolation and provide a forum for our community.” This society is financially solvent and doesn’t charge membership dues, but very few people are actively involved at this time. Perhaps that’s because when we hear the society’s name, it doesn’t immediately translate into understanding their purpose. Some discussion focussed on that fact at the November meeting, with the thought that the word “Cancer” should be included in the name. However, the desire was expressed that the name should continue to present a positive concept

Spokane tourney

Nelson kept a strong Vernon team off balance with a hard-earned 3-0 victory in the semifinals. Royer, Lachance and Mathieson scored to spearhead a strong offence and Stillwell played her best game yet to blank the Vernon offence. The finals saw local rivals Nelson and Cranbrook facing off in a tough “take no prisoners” final. Villa’s goal early in the first put Nelson in the lead. Stillwell played her best game in the tourney to keep the Blueliners in the lead until midway

in the third period when Cranbrook scored on a power play. The battle was on and the action moved from end to end until the nail-biting final ended in a 1-1 tie in regulation time. The shootout went to four shooters until Cranbrooks’s Daphne Neal scored on a backhand to the top left hand corner. Next? Kalso Damsels and Dinosaurs tourney on November 14- 15.

Dear editor, I grew up during and after the Second World War. I assure you it was an unpleasant and scary environment. My father fought in two wars and came back with injuries that were painful for him and his family for the rest of his life. I don’t want to remember war! I don’t want to be reminded of war! Even after coming to Canada I felt like I was the enemy. I went to seem-

ingly pleasant movies that ended up as pointing to the bad Germans. I tried to get a higher education at school in Canada, I had to quit because the bad Germans were gruesomely described as killing innocent children – in a movie that was apparently part of the curriculum. I don’t want to remember war! I don’t want to be reminded of war! I do feel for the soldiers whose life or health is brutally taken away from

them. I very much feel for the mothers and families who stay behind their sons and fathers heroic conviction of doing good. I have a brother-in-law and a nephew who have an honourable career in the army. I am ready to honour the soldiers but not the wars. Can’t we change the name of that meaningful day? How about “ Honour Day.” Cattarina Henriksan, Nelson

Street Talk What do you wish for the Express’ 21st birthday?

Commentary The lady on the lawn by Don Leach. Don Leach is the father of Linda “Raven” Leach, the woman who spent a week outside of Kootenay Lake Hospital and who died after falling off a Trail bridge this fall. Linda Irene Leach, or Raven as she preferred, is survived by her daughter Claire, age 17, who graduates from Grade 12 in June. Raven kept constant contact with her daughter and Claire’s adoptive parents. Claire and Raven understood each other very well. Raven’s sister, Karen, and brother, Trent, were always supportive siblings. They miss their sister very much. Her father Don made sure that over the 25 years of her journey through living with mental illness, she and he were in constant contact. Born in 1970 in Regina, at the age of 8, Raven moved to Calgary with the family. When she was 12 they moved to Red Deer. It was about that time that Raven began experiencing problems in her life. Through it all Raven was steadfast and strong in maintaining her independence. She was generous to a fault and her joy infected everyone around her. In her adult life, Raven often found herself homeless. This was not for lack of a home. Her illness drove her out her housing and into the street in crisis. Raven was interned at a graveside ceremony at the Alte Rest Cemetery in Red Deer. Befitting Raven’s artistic talents, her brother, also an artist in stained glass and

steel, created her urn. The urn featured two golden winged dragonflies which in native Canadian culture represents the spirits of the departed and new beginnings. One dragonfly represented Raven’s spirit and the other Connie, Raven’s deceased mother’s spirit. They are now together forever. A prophet once said, “What is death but the stilling of life’s tumultuous breath so that the spirit is free to meld with sun and the love and peace beyond.” The family believes Raven found her way to that blessed place. Raven’s life in British Columbia was aided by many wonderful people. Some were family but mostly they were acquaintance Raven found through church, work, and her art. The family thanks all who prayed for and helped Raven during her through both the tough times and the good times. Raven loved Nelson. To all who rallied for Raven’s care during her time on the lawn at Kootenay Lake Hospital, the family is grateful. To Nelson Police Department who tried to admit Raven for care at the hospital, thank you. Our hope is that Raven’s loss will result in much needed reforms in care of the mentally ill and in the laws that inadvertently harm them.

In Chinese culture we make and eat noodles for good luck on people’s birthday. So I wish the Express a long noodle! Jane Gao, Nelson

Arts & Entertainment Rossland Mountain Film Festival celebrates 10 years

Thursday, Nov. 19 to Sunday, Nov. 22 in Rossland This year, tickets are available online (www.rosslandfilmfest.com) to ensure people get tickets to this annual event. In addition to the usual 19 and over party atmosphere at the Friday and Saturday night late shows (with Friday night band The Dudes and Saturday Five Alarm Funk). The film festival also finds repeat exposure with its Teck presented opening gala at The Old Firehall on Thursday, Nov. 19. The red-carpet event is a semi-formal affair featuring a classy night of artistic and films where ticketholders can hob-knob with appetizers and wine and enjoy the

live entertainment at intermission. Another returning feature is the photo exhibit, this year slated for Rouge Gallery on Columbia Avenue. The festival features films, photography workshops and music. For detailed schedule, to to www.rosslandfilmfest. com.

Also in the lineup is a special guest student from L.V.Rogers Secondary School. Over the last two years, Books for Kids has gifted over 250 new books for children. These books, gift wrapped and individually selected for each child, were distributed through the Nelson Food Cupboard Christmas hampers program. Those who can’t make it to the event can purchase and donate a new book at Otter Books or call Olindo Chiocca 354-1922 to make a cash donation.

Crossword puzzle workshop and signing tour

Tuesday, Nov. 24, 7:30 p.m., 500 West Richards St. For the first time ever local best-selling puzzle authors, Dave Macleod and Barbara Olson, are offering a free crossword workshop. Designed to be fun and interactive, this workshop will allow avid puzzlers to gain solving tips and tricks from the pros. Crossword books will be available for purchase. Macleod and Olson will also be at the Nelson Coles in Chahko-Mika Mall on Saturday, Nov. 21, 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. to promote their new book, O Canada Crosswords 10. Olson and Macleod’s puzzles are modelled after the New York Times style of crosswords. They are intelligently constructed with clever themes, snappy clues and colourful fill words. There is, however, one key difference: they are Canadian. In O Canada Crosswords 10 a Senator might be a hockey player, Thanksgiving comes in October and the last letter of the alphabet is zed. Macleod and Olson’s crosswords are found in the Express each week. See page 14 for this week’s puzzle. – submitted

The Joey Only Outlaw Band

�� Saturday, Nov. 21, 8 p.m. at The Royal on Baker, �� 330�� Baker St. Vancouver’s favourite punk country activist, �� Joey Only, and his band of outlaws are rippin’ it �� up as part of a short western Canadian tour�� to Calgary and back. Fundraising for their new album, Transgression �� Trail (to be released summer 2010), the band will �� perform all their favourites plus new songs from �� the unreleased record. Joey plays a mean solo show but obviously has a band called Joey Only Outlaw Band, consisting of Leah Martin, (vox), Mike Zinger (slide/banjo/ �� guitar), Jeff Andrew (Fiddle), Justine Fischer �� (bass), Kenan Sungur (drums) and Rowan Lipkovits (squeezebox). ��

The Cropdusters �� Saturday, Nov. 21, 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. at The Royal on �� Baker, 330 Baker St. Local honky-tonk heros the Cropdusters will be back in action this Saturday night at the Royal Hotel on Baker. Comprised of a few of Nelson’s most renowned players, the Cropdusters pay homage to yesteryear’s outlaw music. You’ll hear Willie, Waylon, Johnny and a slew of others you’ll be sure to recognize. Don’t take it too lightly though, the blend of country with fusion on rock, funk and even metal bring the old classics some new life.

The best treatment for mono, while symptoms are acute, is rest. Gargling with salt water can help to soothe a sore throat. The symptoms of mono will eventually go away on their own. It is important to avoid heavy lifting and sports while suffering from mono because the spleen may be enlarged and can rupture creating an emergent condition. If you have the virus you can prevent spreading it to others by avoiding kissing and sharing cutlery, napkins, toothbrushes etc.

Mononucleosis has often been referred to as the ‘kissing disease’ due to that fact that it can be spread by kissing. Infectious mononucleosis is an illness that is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. It is mainly spread through saliva and nasal or throat mucous. Its main symptoms are extreme fatigue and weakness, which can last up to several months. Other symptoms include: fever, sore throat, swollen glands and tonsils, malaise, and loss of appetite. Symptoms generally start to manifest at four to six weeks after exposure or contact with the virus. Mono or glandular disease (as it is colloquially referred to) is most often seen in adolescents or young adults. Children can also contract the virus but usu-

Festive pomegranate Pomegranates originate Chew On This from the Middle East where the seeds and juice have been used since ancient times. They are now cultivated commercially in California. Pomegranates are staking their claim in the health Tara Stark industry due to high levels of antioxidant polyphenols, which are chemical substances thought to play a role in protecting the body from a number of chronic illnesses. They are also a source of vitamin C, pantothenic acid and potassium. Pomegranates are fun to eat and children love them. They are in season from October to February and their ruby red colour and versatility makes them a perfect festive treat. To minimize your impact on the earth, look for California-grown pomegranates. Here is a recipe that puts a twist on regular guacamole. Involve children in mashing the avocado and picking out the pomegranate seeds. Use half the chiles if anyone is sensitive to spicy foods. This is a great dish for a party. Serve it with baked crispy tortillas or corn chips.

Festive guacamole

• 4 ripe avocados (2 pounds total) • 3/4 cup finely chopped white onion • 1-2 fresh serrano chiles, finely chopped, including seeds • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, or to taste • Pomegranate seeds from 1 pomegranate • 3/4 cup diced, peeled mango • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro • Salt to taste Cut the avocados in half. Pit them and peel them and mash them in a bowl. Stir in the onion, the chiles, and the lime juice. Put a few tablespoons of pomegranate seeds aside for garnish, and then fold in the remaining pomegranate seeds, the mango, and the cilantro. Season with salt and additional lime juice. Garnish with leftover pomegranate seeds. This recipe is based on a recipe from www.epicurious.com.

I am in the midst of a bathroom renovation. I began with a distinct vision but soon learned the importance of compromise. I spent days racking up mileage driving back and forth between suppliers. I’d find a floor I liked in one place, but no countertop to accompany it, so I’d choose different countertop and then have to return to the flooring shop, my pockets bulging with postage-stamp-sized product samples on which I was supposed to base all my decisions. I went from blues and turquoises to tomato reds and emerald greens in just three days and learned that small jobs certainly �� present their own set �of challenges.
