Thrills and spills on the Salmo JULIA GILLMOR

A new tour operator has docked on Nelson’s doorstep. For thrill seekers, the Nelson Whitewater Rafting Co. has set up shop for it’s first season of business and it’s proving to be a wild ride. John Dutton, owner and head guide is offering trips down the underutilized and under-explored Salmo River. “It’s a little bit of a misnomer for me to be considered the first to offer trips on the Salmo. I think what has prevented people from doing what I’m doing sooner, is that the Salmo has a short season. “If locals are going to pay to go rafting, they want it to be awesome. People who live in Nelson get out and do cool stuff all on their own so I want to get locals stoked to run the Salmo River in May and June. There’s essentially no visitors here this time of year so my goal is to cater to a local market.” With class III and IV rapids that shoot the rugged Shenango Canyon, Dutton has been creating an enthusiastic buzz in the community. “Nelson has a reputation

as a great place to visit but people don’t necessarily know what to do when they get here,” he says, which is why he is also offering whitewater and float trips on the Slocan River. ”I’m trying to provide a service to get people in the out doors to be active and see the natural scenery.” By taking care of all the planning and transportation, he aims at making adventure tourism more accessible. “The whitewater trip on the Slocan is perfect for families, half of it’s gentle and half of its whitewater that isn’t crazy, while the float trip is for the very young to the very old.” By offering a diverse product he expects to generate interest from more markets. Aligning his rafting company with such associations as the Destination Marketing Organization and Nelson Kootenay Lake Tourism, Dutton hopes to hook the bus tour market with a Kootenay route. “I’m trying to work to create a draw to bring more people here. It would be great to work with a few other operators in the area

to put together a package to bring some larger tour groups in.” Dutton is no newcomer to travel and tourism. He started working in the hospitality industry at the age of 15 and earned

a diploma in Hospitality Management and a Bachelor of Commerce in Entrepreneurship. His seventh season as a commercial raft guide, he’s worked in B.C, Alberta and New Zealand and is a certified

Hostel and directly through the website at www.nelsonwhitewaterrafting.com. With only two weeks left in June, Dutton hopes more local folk will sign on for thrills and spills down Salmo.

New logging area has Slocan residents up in arms JULIA GILLMOR Watersheds are delicate bits of business and when logging began in a contentious area above Slocan Park, residents raised their voices. The main concern �� according to Craig Sapriken, spokesperson for Slocan Park CARES Society, is a cut block above Cunningham Rd. “The issue around that that block is water licenses. There’s roughly six water license holders that will be affected and there will be one community water system located north of

this that could potentially affected.” Contamination of the water supply and shallow wells is a real concern for residents. “It is our opinion that these shallow wells will be directly affected by the active logging that will commence above us,” Sapriken adds. “We expect to see shallow wells dry up, there’s just no two ways about it based on the drainage system that comes off this hillside.” Although four separate blocks have been designated for timber harvest, the most contentious, Cut Block 1, will be logged last.

��

“We’ve decided to hire a professional forester and have him walk the block, seeing as it’s the most vulnerable of the four. We’re asking him to put together a factual and professional report that we’ll present to the British Columbia Timber Sales (BCTS), which they said they would look at and review. And that’s about all we can do,” adds Sapriken. Al Skakun, Area Forester for the BCTS in Castlegar insists that logging will not affect the watershed. “This area is part of the provincial forest and it’s designated as timber harvesting

��

land base, which means it’s a working forest. That doesn’t mean that other resource values aren’t considered and they have been appropriately considered. And that includes water, terrain stability, wildlife biodiversity values and visual quality.” “We’ll look at any information, but there is a legal license in place right now and at this point we have seen no factors or issues that would warrant any kind of interference in the harvesting rights of that licensee.” Skakun says a field inspection was held on

Mother Nature and me - a fine balance

On a rainy day as I was walking the perimeter of our property, my thoughts went to memories of a small house that I lived in many years ago. The inner city lot on which it sat was bounded by large elm trees, a sidewalk and boulevard at the front; an alley at the back and neighbours’ fences on either side. That small urban space was well suited to my gardening interests and skills and it aligned nicely with the time I had to dedicate to outdoor work. With a predilection that leaned toward managing every square foot, I was fortunate that the space was small and that my work could be completed in a short period of time. At the end of the day I could sit back in my well-groomed yard and enjoy the fruits of my moderate labour.

As I continued on my recent walk I noticed how Nature and her wild ways is pushing at the fence line that surrounds my gardens, and is attempting to overtake the mowed areas and ditches that border them. The rampant growth that came with this year’s spring rain had pretty much eliminated the precision of those edges. I thought about that in comparison to the small groomed urban lot that I managed long ago and realized just how much my gardening practices had changed since moving to the countryside. My new parameters, including a forest with all species of native plants and trees, a creek, a multitude of good and not-so-good weeds, and abundant wildlife, are constant reminders of Nature’s presence. After

growing gardens Helen Sebelius many head on encounters with her determination to cross boundaries that I put in place, I have learned to appreciate the edge that defines her space and my space, and how it can change from week to week. I still have a predilection for order and precision, but it has been well tempered by Nature’s wild ways; and at the end of the day I find myself sitting back and enjoying the results of our combined efforts.

Farmed Animal Mass Carcass Disposal Emergency Plan Completed for RDCK With the help of a grant from the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) the Regional District of Central Kootenay is now prepared for a farmed animal mass carcass disposal emergency. The plan provides guidance on the timely and efficient disposal of dead stock in an emergency to minimize the potential impact on human health, the environment and the agriculture of the area. Another purpose of the plan is to provide a source of local information related to carcass disposal which may be used by federal, provincial and local agencies that participate in an expanded response to a carcass disposal emergency. This information includes a profile of animal farming sites and activities in the RDCK, and a list of resources and capabilities which may be utilized in an emergency response. The plan is also a source of information on whom is responsible in disease versus hazard events, what options are available for carcass disposable, what are the specifications for disposal sites, and what resources may be missing in our area to deal with this type of hazard.

Government is government. No matter what people say or express that they want, the government will do what they want to.

There are definitely areas that need improvement, for example the marijuana issue. Prohibition has never worked in the past, it isn’t working now, and the only people that are benefiting are gangs. Its very closed-minded thinking.

Commentary: Wrapping things up as Legislative Session closes On June 3, the Legislative Session came to a close. Over the course of four months, the BC Liberals shut down debate not once, but twice, to ram through two items that fundamentally change the way we do business in the province. First, it was Bill 9, the legislation that paves the way for the HST. According to long-standing parliamentary conventions, the NDP had the right to debate this Bill in its entirety. That would have meant over 1000 hours of debate to make sure there was public scrutiny over every aspect of the BC Liberals’ proposal to change our sales tax system. Too long, said the BC Liberals and they used an old rule to shut us up. My response to this is “look at all those signatures!” The second time the BC Liberal Government decided to shut down debate was over Bill 17, eco-flirtatiously dubbed the “Clean Energy Act.” However, as I said in the House, this Act is more like a guy I once dated who drove a Hummer. As an environmentalist, I am committed to sustainability which includes a triple

In the House Michelle Mungall MLA Nelson-Creston bottom-line of ecological integrity, economic stability and social responsibility. Yet this Bill just doesn’t deliver. Instead it sells our resources to the highest bidder –like GE Electric or Dupont—and takes away any protections for us, the public. This isn’t good for the environment nor our communities –just like that guy and his Hummer. For details, head to my website www.michellemungall. com. Although shutting down debate is pretty awful, there are some good things coming from the Legislature. My colleague Bill Routely from the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island successfully made an amendment to Bill 21, the Forestry Service Providers Protection Act. This will protect forestry workers should a company go

bankrupt. I too was able to ask several questions of the Government on behalf of people in our community and from around the province. While I often don’t get answers, I am happy to say that I had some success for students in the form of a universal bus pass for all metro Vancouver students. Now that MLAs are out of the Legislature, BCNDP MLAs will be on the road with Our Province Our Future. Go to www.ourprovinceourfuture.bc.ca to join the BCNDP’s province-wide conversation about a green economy in BC. We kicked off the exchange of ideas last April at the Leader’s Summit in Vancouver. The next stop is Kamloops on June 22. So keep your eyes peeled for when we’re in the Kootenays, but don’t hesitate to get involved now with the online discussions. Being out of the House means that this column wraps up. So until next time the Premier calls me back to Victoria, you can find me at my Community Office or out and about in our beautiful region.

Marie-Paule was in the street when the quake hit and Sebastien was riding in a truck. Both escaped injury. Dave and coworkers were in the basement of an office building on a steep hillside. The building heaved and cracked with a deafening roar but did not collapse, though damaged beyond repair. After the quake they scrambled into the street, uninjured but stunned. Walls and buildings continued to collapse on the hillsides above. As darkness gathered Dave and a friend picked their way back to their neighbourhood through fifty rubble strewn blocks, a surreal landscape. Along their route survivors were already laying the dead and severely injured in the streets. Clusters of people sang hymns. They later learned the earthquake had killed 250,000 people and left half the buildings of Port Au Prince destroyed or damaged beyond repair. The city has the same population as greater Vancouver. The destruction, resembling that of a nuclear bomb, took place in a country where more than 75 per cent of the population eke out a bare living on

less than $2 a day. With their home damaged and unsafe, the three Nelsonites took up residence in the street with neighbours. They gathered scarce medical supplies and helped the injured and dying at an improvised clinic on a nearby soccer field. Marie Paule, fluent in Haitian Creole, saved a number of lives and buoyed many more people through the terrible reality. As medical supplies ran out and with potable water scarce Sebastien and Dave began distributing Pure Water’s small water filters to groups of people who had lost their homes and to medical clinics. As the water shortage became more critical Pure Water organized trucking of water mainly into a very poor area, Cité Soleil, serving 80,000 people a day at the rate of five litres per person. With typhoid fever, cholera and dysentery a growing threat, they also recruited local teachers to promote hygiene and safe water practices for over 20,000 people. Cité Soleil, much of it a conglomeration of tin and cardboard shacks, is sandwiched between the sea and the international airport. The residents gaze at gleaming cruise ships moored offshore while overhead flights roar away to fantasy destinations. During the rainy season in the poorest areas next to the sea, thousands of people live in muddy, contaminated water to their ankles or higher. On the

streets you can on any day buy baked patties made of salt, flour, water and mud - pancakes to soothe the hunger pangs of the poor. The Haitian people deserve better. Pure Water for the World Haiti supports basic development. It is reviving hygiene promotion and water filtration programs in schools using biosand filters built in Haiti. Here in the Kootenays, $50,000 was raised to aid the earthquake relief effort thanks to the generosity of many Kootenay residents and to Rik Valentine who organized donations through the Argenta Quakers to Pure Water for the World (Haiti). These funds will be used to restore a water distribution centre in Cité Soleil that was damaged by UN troops in 2005, to repair wells, and to launch rainwater collection. Donations to a discretionary fund have been used to support rehabilitation for amputees and for tuition for school students (most schools are private and charge fees). The social aftershocks of the Haitian earthquake will continue for many years. But Haitians are a proud, resilient and industrious people who will again rebuild. Those wishing to donate to the ongoing work of Pure Water or to the discretionary fund can do so by contacting Rik Valentine at 250-366-4325 rikval@direct.ca. Dave Putt Nelson

Publisher’s Comment:

What would you do with a zillion dollars? “What would you do if you found a zillion dollars?” I said to the server at one of my favourite coffee bars. She replied, “I’d change the world!” When I asked her how, she said she didn’t know. She said she would have to do some heavy meditation, and then suggested I should do the same. “We are all connected,” she said. “We have to work together.” I asked her if she writes. “No,” she said, “I am an artist. I paint and work with pencil and crayon.” I was hooked. I wanted one of her pieces of art to hang on my wall at home. I wanted something to remind me of that optimistic view, and she said she would be happy to create something for me. I know that piece will

bring me pleasure, and I know it will bring me peace. Isn’t that changing the world? We get confused in our efforts to make a difference. We think we can solve problems by throwing money at them. The money is important, but the human energy is what really counts. I believe everyone cares, and everyone wants to do something to help. Through volunteering with a local non-profit group, running a conscientious business or even creating an image of beauty to radiate your energy in the world, everyone can contribute something. I look forward to receiving my art from someone who says we are all connected. Nelson Becker Publisher

KCR wants to know,

JENNA SEMENOFF

are you faster than the speed of sound?

James Miller, Dillon Gyr, Deborah Burnett, Bradley Roulston, Michael Doratti, Olli Gyr, Jordana Bartinger, and Alexa Cramton get ready to run as DJs Paul Hinrichs, Papa Roots and Brother Michael prepare to spin some beats.

Think musical chairs with a distance element

JULIA GILLMOR

Kootenay Co-op Radio is hosting its second annual Beat the DJs fundraiser, an outdoor concert that’s intended to generate action. Eight DJs are playing in eight different locations throughout downtown, playing eight different genres of music. Participants have a half an hour to run (or 45 min to walk) the course before the music stops. “I just think the idea is so novel, you have eight DJ booths set up outdoors, so essentially you’re getting eight outdoor concerts. And you’re running around and as soon as the music fades from one DJ you hear another one,” says Beat the DJs coordinator Bradley Roulston. “Plus it highlights the diversity and the professionalism of Kootenay Co-op Radio and there are some excellent programs on that station.” “It’s a little bit of a challenge to beat the DJs but a half an hour for a five km run is not difficult,” adds Roulston. The

goal is to raise $3000 for KCR through the participation of 200 walkers and runners. Last year participants ran in the cold wet rain in the dark and still $2000 was raised. “They were smiling and laughing and the energy was remarkable. This year we’re looking for better weather and more of a turn out.” “We’ve made a definite effort to ensure that it’s exciting and silly fun,” says KCR Administrative Manager, Leah Wilson. “Part of our outreach mandate is that we showcase the diversity of the music we have on the air. It’s not just hip hop, it’s not just rock. It also represents the uniqueness of this station, where the programmers actually pick their own music. No on tells them what to play.” Every year, different DJs are selected to participate in the event. This years line up includes Bob Olson from Classical Corner, Joel West, J Hannley, Heather Joy, Brother Michael, Papa Roots, Paul Hinrichs and DJ Rhapsody. “We’re hoping the runners who are being introduced to the station for the first time want to become a member to

support it. Minimal funding comes from the government; almost all of it is done by membership and local business sponsorship. That’s what keeps the station together,” says Roulston. “We’ve been putting more effort into not just fundraising but fundraising that connects to the community.” In the 11 years since KCR has been on the airwaves they’ve garnered over 2200 members. “At this time we only have 600 members that are active and our push is to increase that to 1000,” says Wilson. “Through the Internet we have listeners all around the world and we get feedback from people who have moved to Nelson after having listened to Nelson Before Nine. They have got a sense of what the area is and they’ve made the decision to move here.” For more information on Beat the DJs or to listen to KCR, visit www.kootenaycoopradio.com or dial it in at 93.5 FM in Nelson, 96.5 FM in Crawford Bay and 107.5 FM in New Denver.

TNT Young Company returns to stage

With the help of two stage veterans Richard Rowberry and Hiromoto Ida, the TNT Young Company is back in business for a twelfth summer with a production of the famous Italian comedy classic, The Servant of Two Masters. Featuring lots of physical comedy, a twisted and unlikely plot, masks, colourful costumes, swordplay, and, of course, starcrossed lovers, this two hundred and fifty year old play is as irrelevant today as it ever was. “I’m definitely having fun with this one even with all the stress of directing, learning my lines, figuring �� out the set, and dealing with a cast of nine,” says Rowberry, “but the biggest treat for me is working with Hiro whose dedication, enthusiasm and thick Japanese accent makes him a superb role model of someone willing to throw himself – literally – into a

Shambhala now 19+ Minors need notarized documentation and a chaperone to be admitted this year as the festival gets bigger and busier STEPHANIE TAYLOR

What started out as a small festival with an attendance of 600 has grown to a can’t-miss event with over 10,000 eager ticket holders gracing the gates of the Salmo farm. A long list of risks including a fast-moving river, heavily wooded areas with windy pathways and the sheer number of people, outlines why organizers are stressing to attendees that Shambhala is not a children’s festival. While parents can still bring their kids, there will be strict chaperoning policy put in place this August for all kids under the age of 19, and parents are being urged to pay close attention to the whereabouts of their little ones. “There were no specific incidents that spurred

Brieﬂy

the policy change,” said Shambhala Public Relations officer Marv Walker, “we felt the scope of the festival is so much bigger now, you never know who is going to show up, so we want to take steps to be as diligent as possible.” Partygoers under 19 and their chaperone will need a special wristband and have a document provided by Shambhala organizers which is signed and notarized, and of course, a few pieces of photo ID. Minors will need to be with their chaperone at all times. If a minor is found without his or her chaperone, both parties will be asked to leave the property. If the thought of going to Shambhala with your parents is too horrible to fathom, don’t despair. Aside from parents, chaperones

can also include “a responsible adult who is 25 years of or older,” as explained on the official website, www. shambhalamusicfestival. com, which states the complete requirements and restrictions. Underagers who have already purchased tickets and do not have an adult to accompany them can get their tickets refunded hassle-free, Walker explained, by calling the main office at 250-352-7623. There are still tickets left to this year’s shindig, being held the first weekend of August. Walker said over 6,000 have been sold as of last week, leaving another 4,000 still up for grabs, but they are going fast. Tickets can be purchased at the Shambhala website or locally at Big Cranium Designs on Baker Street.

Scopes by Stenya June 16 - June 22 Aries Mar 21 - Apr 19

A test of endurance in the form of hard work can test your commitment this week. If you can rise up to meet the challenge head first you can not only accomplish great things but help others around you as well.

Taurus Apr 20 - May 20

A time for decisive action. An opportunity for positive change may be coming your way and you need to be ready to make quick decisions.

Gemini May 21 - June 16

This is a time to cultivate your true expression. Speak honestly and from the heart so people can appreciate your perspective. Take time to put the finishing touches on anything you are working on.

Cancer June 16 - Jul 22

Support from family and close friends will be there if you need it this week. Reaching out to those around you can help you feel supported in anything you are having difficulties with.

Leo Jul 23 - Aug 22

This is a great time to reevaluate where you are at in life. Think long term. Where do you want to see yourself in the next few years? Setting long term goals and daily intentions can allow your dreams to manifest in your life. If you believe in miracles they can happen.
