Kutenai Art Therapy Institute celebrates 15 years by Julia Gillmor Making art is therapeutic in and of itself. For the past 15 years, the Kutenai Art Therapy Institute has been sharing and teaching art therapy to individuals and families, professionals and students, in the Nelson community. Founded in 1994 by Monica Carpendale, at the time the sole local practitioner of art therapy in the area, she said it came about as a result of the professional community wanting to train in art therapy for their own practices. Carpendale is passionate about art therapy and its use in treating and healing trauma. “People are often told not to talk about trauma, but no one ever gets told not to

paint or draw about it. Art provides an opportunity to give expression to something that otherwise is often very difficult to describe in words.” By describing the art, it is possible to find metaphors that help bring feelings forward and aid in understanding them. Carpendale says, “If we bring more of our experiences in nature to a more self reflective place, we start to communicate about it, when our perception changes and things become conscious, then things really begin to change.” The school began with one studio classroom and seven full time students. Fifteen years later it has grown to two studio classrooms, seven local students five distance

students, and 10 more students in the process of completing their thesis. Offering a postgraduate, two-year diploma program, the Institute has gained provincial, national and international recognition and accreditation. In addition to being

a teaching facility, KATI also offers open house studio sessions on a drop in basis every Saturday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. These sessions are open to the community and provide support through therapy for children, adolescences and families. Admission

is by donation. KATI is also beginning a project with KLH to help provide support for elderly residents who are waiting for entry into long-term care facilities. Carpendale said the roughly calculated amount of free therapeutic service offered to the community through KATI, is in the ballpark of $100,000 per year. On Friday January 22, KATI is celebrating their 15th anniversary. They will be hosting an open house complete with refreshments, complemented with a book signing. Being a textbook, Carpendale joked that if she counted all the revisions of the spiral bound original, this would be considered it’s fourth edition. Events take place

from 5 to 8 p.m. Upcoming events planned for KATI include an Expressive Arts Therapy conference coming in May and February 18 at 7 p.m. there is a screening of the DVD, Angel with A Broken Wing. KATI is a non-profit organization, governed by a volunteer board of directors and they are always grateful for new people wanting to get involved with the board. Interested community members can call the school for more information at 250-352-2264. The Kutenai Art Therapy Institute is located at 201 - 601 Front Street. They also maintain a website with course and admission information at www.kati. kics.bc.ca.

Opinions & Letters Editorial

How is the youth supposed to get by?

The tragedy in Haiti We want to acknowledge the tragedy and crisis that exists in Haiti at this time. We commend the tireless work of all of the doctors, nurses, military and volunteers who have gone to Haiti during this terrible disaster and risked their own safety to help others. We also have to wonder though, if tragedy at such a massive scale could not have been avoided, or at least the damage lessened, had the world’s powers provided the Haitians with the means to create safe, reliable infrastructure before this awesome act of nature sent their cinder block homes crashing down upon them. Unfortunately, this tragedy has a local twist. 17 high school students and their adult chaperones voluntarily went to Haiti to help others less fortunate. This basic human nature is a reason for optimism in our world. More proof of these feelings of empathy is the number of people who have responded to this crisis

January 20, 2010

in Nelson and around the world, by donating money, time and items that are in short supply in Haiti, and in dire need. Nobody was coerced to donate. The motive comes out of a feeling for other peoples’ pain and suffering, and a desire to help out, even in some small way. We have 17 students and their adult chaperones who will be back in our protective care here in Nelson. They have seen and experienced things that we in our little safe bubble here, have no way to understand. They have gone through an experience of extreme danger and they cannot help but be affected by what they have gone through, not only emotionally but physiologically as well. We must welcome our international aid workers back to our community with safety and unconditional love. They surely will need time and support to deal with what they have gone through. We continue to pray for them and keep them in our hearts.

Dear Editor, Where is all the help for the youth? That is what I want to know. I grew up really poor and I have been struggling for years, and now with this so-called recession things have gotten even worse. I am 28 years old and I am a really hard worker and most importantly I want to work. In 2008 I was working as a prospector in the Slocan Valley from March to October. In 2009 I only had two weeks of work. I ended up broke, lost my home in May, and had to sleep in the back of my truck all summer. I applied for every job I could find to hire me. I finally started work for the city of Nelson in

the end of December but only got a few days of work because I only work when it snows. In January I worked five days, barely enough to get by. I am still homeless and trying to rent a house that allows pets. Turns out this is almost impossible. Rent is way way too high around here. What people don’t understand is that without a home it is even harder to keep a job and to have any faith in the system. What am I supposed to do? Welfare wont pay enough for rent, let alone food. I am even willing to move to any town where there is more work, but I need a job first, otherwise I will be in an even worse

situation. All the jobs in other towns I apply for don’t contact me back because I don’t already live there. So it makes me ask the question, what happened to BC/Canada? Is this the way they expect the youth to live? Homeless and broke and barely eating enough with no hope for the future? I have so many friends that are struggling just as much as me. Where is all the help from the government to make more jobs? I just can’t believe it has got this bad. I just can’t believe that theres no work for someone who wants to work. Herb Hyder Nelson

Redfish students celebrate GamesTown 2010 prize by Stephanie Taylor The students at Redfish School received a special treat this past week after being designated a GamesTown 2010 Spirit School. The students, who are kindergarten to grade 5, were awarded with a day filled with games and events, as well as a visit from the Olympic mascots Miga the Sea Bear, Quatchi the Sasquatch, and Sumi, the Thunderbird. “The day really showcased the excitement the kids have about the Olympics, and about being Canadian,” said Redfish principal Lori Fehr. “It

was amazing how excited the kids were.” The kids got to try out a ski machine, a hockey shootout, and pose for photos in a bobsled. There was a display of aboriginal culture featuring snowboards with beautiful, intricate artwork and a Wii kiosk where the kids could try sports games. They were also given a special test, which told the kids which Olympic sport they might excel at. But by far the favourite of the day were the mascots. “They just have to show up,” Fehr said. “The kids loved them. “They kept saying,

‘They’re like a bunch of big stuffies!’” Even the Strong Start program, which is for children 0 to 6 years of age, were included in the day and spent some time with Miga, Quatchi and Sumi. Redfish joined the GamesTown 2010 initiative in September as a Spirit School and made a pledge to be healthy and participate in Olympicthemed events. The students and adult volunteers were enthusiastic about the initiative and have lived up to their Spirit School status.

Dylan was the the real winner at the weekend Leafs game

the health pages. Yoga by Donation will help Haitians in need Shanti Yoga Studio will hold Yoga by Donation classes every Saturday afternoon for the next month, with all proceeds going to shelter for Haiti. Shanti is helping fund the ShelterBox campaign for Haiti. The purchasing of Shelter Boxes ($1,000 each) is being organized through Rotary club in Nelson. This is one of the best donations we can make as the current estimate is that 1.5 million Haitians will need temporary homes, which may be used for a long time. Each ShelterBox is a large, rugged, green plastic container that holds a 10-person tent and a range of other equipment. Typical box contents could include: • Thermal blankets and insulated ground sheets • Waterproof ponchos and bin bags • A multi-fuel stove that can burn anything from diesel to old paint • Cooking pans, utensils, bowls and mugs • Water containers and water purification tablets • A basic tool kit – hammer, axe, saw, pliers, hoe head, trenching shovel, rope, etc. • A small, children’s pack containing drawing books,

crayons, pens etc. Once assembled, boxes will be banded and sealed ready for transit. They are also individually numbered so each box can be tracked and donors can know its final destination. ��Check �� out www.shelterbox.ca for more information. � Shanti �� Yoga studio is asking everyone to come to these classes, tell you friends and bring them along. �� Forward this information and appeal to everyone. Donations can be any size, nothing is too small. Rotary Club of Nelson sent $1,000 for a ��The�� ShelterBox from Nelson club members. Shanti Yoga Studio is also committing $1,000. For the next four Saturdays from 2-4 pm there will be Community Yoga classes with all donation proceeds �� going to ShelterBoxes. Email everyone you know, and let them know that donations will be ongoing at the studio. Every class, everyday so that the goal can be reached. - submitted

Search for cultural ambassador The Cultural D e v e l o p m e n t Commission (CDC), on behalf of the City of Nelson, is currently inviting applications for the position of 2010’s Nelson Cultural Ambassador. This year’s category is the Visual Arts, and individual visual artists as well as visual arts organizations are encouraged to apply. The CDC established this honour in recognition of local individual artists, groups or collectives who have achieved a high standard of excellence in their artistic discipline and who are active not only in Nelson’s cultural community but extend their talents to other communities and countries. The Cultural Ambassador is expected to represent and promote the City of Nelson on their travels, increasing the visibility and cultural reputation of Nelson. In return, the Cultural Ambassador can use their official designation in their own promotional materials, programs

and fundraising. An Awards ceremony, presented by the CDC and attended by local media and arts organizations, will be held in February to announce the winner of this prestigious title. Nelson’s 2009 Cultural Ambassador was the youth choral group Corazón, under the direction of Allison Girvan. “Our designation as Nelson’s Cultural Ambassador led to a very positive reception by audiences” states Shannon Lythgoe, Corazón’s manager. “It encouraged our young performers to represent the City of Nelson while on tour and at home in a gratifying and significant way, and has been a boon to the group’s profile and sense of community.” The designation also proved particularly useful when Corazón showcased at Pacific Contact 2009, a conference mounted by the BC Touring Council - as a result of this, they were engaged to tour in a larger and more diverse

Applicants must be active in the community and engaged in projects, or planning projects, that take them outside the City limits, such as traveling exhibits, tours, residencies or workshops as well as presenting activities in our home community. Interested groups or individuals should submit a CV or equivalent, plus a short description of activities taking place outside the Nelson area that would make the candidate a good choice as Cultural Ambassador for the City of Nelson, plus between 2 – 4 images of current work for committee review. Deadline for submissions is January 29, 2010. Applications will be accepted by email at cultural@nelson.ca or by mail or in person at: Cultural Development Commission c/o City of Nelson 310 Ward Street Nelson, BC V1L 5S4. - submitted

Take time to review relationships this week at work or in the home. You have the capacity to be an extremely supportive and loyal partner but is important to make sure this role also supports your passions and goals. Look beyond the small complications to find the fresh perspective.

Gemini May 21 - June 20

This may be a good time use your natural communication skills to help bring new ideas to any project you are working on right now. You may find that by reaching out to others you will be able to find the missing piece or aspect you need. Just make sure you know who your allies are.

Leo July 23 - August 22

Seeking independence right now is favourable for you lovable lions and lionesses. By feeling like you are capable on your own you can increase your self-confidence powers. This is a good time to explore how you can use these powers and natural authority to improve your surrounding community.

Virgo August 23 - Sept 22

You may have been supporting others more than yourself lately. This is a favourable time to gently tell others you need some ‘me time’, even if it’s just a bath or a walk along Kootenay Lake. You will find this time valuable to reflect on any fears or apprehensions you may be holding within.

Libra Sept 23 - Oct 23

It is wise to remain cautious of angry outburst this week. This will only cause harm to your health and not improve the situation. You may have to take a stand and speak up for yourself in a difficult situation or relationship matter. Just try not to lose your cool.

Scorpio Oct 24 - Nov 21

It is important right now to steer your ship on the proper course. Inner reflection may be necessary to confirm where you would ultimately like to be and your first step should be in the direction towards this desire. Once you have initiated this first step the rest of the journey can flow with clear skies ahead.

Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21

Try to avoid jumping to conclusion this week. It is important to examine the facts in order to make the best decision for you at this time. This may be difficult as you can be strongly self-directed. By peeling back the complex layers of the situation, you may discover things are simpler than they first appear.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19

This is a good time to expand your problem solving abilities to others around you. You may find that by helping others you can also enrich your life as well. This can be an opportunity for increased wealth, but not in the material sense. Some of the best things in life are not things.

Aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 18

This is a good time for some self invigoration. Try to give yourself an honest evaluation on where you are at right now and where you want to be heading. It can be helpful to review the past year and see where things have worked out and leave behind what has not. Initiate from your passionate self.

Pisces Feb 19 - Mar 20

You may be overly influenced by other or your surroundings week. This can lead to a certain complacency in events happening in your life right now, feeling like you have little or no control of the outcome. In fact you do. It is important to remember that your actions also dictate outcomes of the situation.

Touchstones exhibit features local history of winter sport by Stephanie Taylor Touchstones Nelson is opening a new exhibition on Saturday, Jan. 23 called Snow and Ice: A History of Winter Sports in Nelson. The opening, which coincides with the torch relay events, puts on display the collection of winter sport and activity artifacts and archives that Touchstones has in its collection, as well as articles on special loan, such as Nancy Greene’s Olympic coat. People in our area have a passion for winter,” said Deb Thomspon, the curator at Touchstones. “There is a real determi-

nation to be a part of the winter season and winter sports.” The exhibit will also include an authentic Mt.
