Canada Day, July 1, 2011. It seemed as though almost all of Nelson came to Rotary Lakeside Park to celebrate Canada Day. Although, because of all the local groups that were there, it seemed more like a celebration of the Nelson Community.

Innovative partnership connects farms and families Kootenay Kids and West Kootenay EcoSociety announced today that the popular Farms to Families program would resume for 2011. Through the program, Kootenay Kids provides vouchers to families in need to allow them to purchase fresh produce at the Cottonwood and Downtown markets operated by EcoSociety. Each voucher, worth $3, can be redeemed for the same value in fresh produce, syrup, honey, eggs, or meat. Processed food, cooked food, and baked items are not eligible for

the program. The program was originally funded in part by the BC Gaming Commission. A fundraiser with Grounded Coffee in Nelson and private donations have allowed the program to continue in 2011. Qualifying families can pick up their vouchers from Kootenay Kids and spend them at the Wednesday market or the Saturday market until October 29, when the markets close for the winter. -submitted

New funding for Kokanee Visitor’s Centre A burst of new funding will help the Kokanee Creek Visitor’s Centre expand its programs and improve its displays, the West Kootenay EcoSociety announced yesterday. EcoSociety won a $19000 grant from the British Columbia Conservation Foundation’s Legacy Program for new and improved displays and learning tools, while Regional Directors Ramona Faust and Don Mickel will provide funding for programs that reach community members in the region. The centre has commissioned Nelson artist and business display designer Brian McLachlan to work with the centre’s naturalists to develop fun and interactive pieces for the centre. The project will also feature an installa-

New to the park this year are programs such as yoga and fitness in the Park, movies and Oxygen Theatre in the Park which join the old favorites of storytelling in the park, Jerry’s Rangers and evening naturalist programs.

Selkirk College lends a hand to Georgian businesses Georgia is a country that wants to move its economy into the new millennium. Not an easy task for a former Soviet Republic. According to Selkirk College Business Instructor, Michael Konkin, they want to embrace capitalism but they don’t yet have the know-how or the infrastructure to make a western-style economy work. While they live in a relatively modern world today, with cell phones and Facebook, they have a very limited concept of entrepreneurism. This limited understanding of entrepreneurism is what Business Administration students Krys Klimuk and Trent Zoobkoff set out to change, at least a little. On a two-week internship earlier this year, the pair travelled to the city of Tbilisi with instructor Michael Konkin, and two students and faculty from Thompson Rivers University. Their work completed the final stage of an economic develop-

ment project spearheaded by Selkirk’s International Program and funded by Canadian Investment Development Agency (CIDA). Students and faculty met with a dozen entrepreneurs-from egg and mushroom farmers to car importers-and discussed their businesses and their challenges. “This internship was a great learning experience for me. I had the opportunity to see how business was conducted in another country and I got to help entrepreneurs resolve some of their business issues,” explains Krys Klimuk. “Everything about this experience is memorable. It was an eyeopener to see how different Canadian culture is compared with Georgian culture, and how welcoming our hosts were.” Selkirk College offers business programs with international work, study and volunteer opportunities for Canadian students. Visit www.selkirk. ca/ba for details. -submitted

Not every plant is welcome Central Kootenay Invasive Plant Committee (CKIPC) has placed “Invasive Plant” signs temporarily on road edges near flowering or visible invasive plant species. Many of the beautiful roadside plants we see on a daily basis are in fact, aggressive non-native plant species like Scotch broom, knotweeds, yellow flag-iris, policeman’s helmet and orange hawkweed. Introduced to Canada, either accidentally on intentionally, these species have no natural predators and can easily spread to form dense

monocultures. They can degrade wildlife habitat, choke out native plants, reduce crop quality and yield, increase soil erosion, and reduce biodiversity. Identifying invasive plants is the first step in preventing the introduction and spread of these species. For more information on invasive plant identification and management please visit www.kootenayweeds.com or contact the Central Kootenay Invasive Plant Committee at (250) 3521160 or coordinator@koo tenayweeds.com. -submitted

The Kootenay Express Update Non-Scientific Survey Question It is hard to know what something is worth. The value of a dollar changes from day to day. What costs 50 dollars today could cost 100 dollars tomorrow. What costs 100 dollars tomorrow, might take us twice as long to earn. We are told that we should not be spending more than 30% of our wage on rent. Yet many people in our com-

munity, who may be on fixed income, are spending 50%, 60%, or more on rent alone. This forces them to utilize our food banks and soup kitchens in order to make ends meet. Our government does not do a good job when it comes to helping those in our community on fixed income. So in the mean time, what do you do to save money?

The deadline for submitting responses to these surveys is noon, Thursday July 14. We will present the results of this week’s surveys in our next Update. If you have an idea for a survey question, please send it to us at : express@expressnews.bc.ca.

What strategies do you practice regularly to save Cut and paste the following into your address bar to money? Walking/biking. sale shopping, second hand, answer the survey: coupons, budgeting, growing own food, trash to trea- http:www.surveymonkey.com/s/VJYDVNS sure, don’t try to save?

THE ANSWERS TO LAST WEEKS SURVEY In the last year, approximately how many times have you enjoyed the use of the following entertainment venues?

Which of these festivals did you attend last year?

Frequently Asked Questions How did you get my email address? The emails that we use for the Kootenay Express Update are emails of people who have done business with the Express Newspaper or are emails we have received by personal request to be on our list. What is the purpose of the Kootenay Express Update? The purpose of the Kootenay Express Update is to provide the service of a community newspaper with such features as an events calendar, classifieds, opinions, diversions, for the greater community of Nelson and area. How can my friends receive the Kootenay Express Update? You can send your friends our email and they can respond with the word “subscribe”, or “newsletter” or “update”. What is the privacy policy of The Express? We will never share your email with anyone outside of The Express. We feel

you are part of our family. Is The Express open for Editorial Submissions? Yes. We also want to support the nonprofits of our community and we welcome their editorial submissions. What happened to The Express Newspaper? The Express Newspaper existed as a print version for 22 years, but it could no longer compete against the big corporations for advertising. We are committed to being of community service and we are now in the process of creating the Kootenay Express Update as an alternative to the print copy. There are obvious benefits to an electronic Express Newspaper. We don’t have any printing costs or post office distribution costs. There is less restriction on space. Recipients can print out the pages that they so desire. There are also some disadvantages. Not everybody is internet connected. Reading off a screen is a different

experience than reading off of paper. The Express Update seems to me to be a valuable way to publicize my business. How do I place advertising in the update? We are still working on this because in setting a price for advertising we want to assure ourselves, and you, that you are getting the correct value for your dollars. We encourage you to get in touch with us so that we may begin this discussion with interested local businesses. How does the Kootenay Express Update support itself? At the moment, that’s a very good question. The Kootenay Express Update lives on a subsidy that it is receives from me, Nelson Becker. In the future, the Update will have to support itself. We are in the process of determining advertising value, as well as looking at other methods of raising the necessary funds.
