Live to skate STEPHANIE TAYLOR

On Monday, June 21 at 5 p.m., hundreds of skateboarders, bikers and supporters rolled down Baker Street in celebration of International Go Skateboarding Day. Skaters all across the globe skated in swarms to celebrate skate culture. This year’s celebration had a deeper meaning for many Nelson residents. “We’re here to represent, honour and celebrate a very special person, our friend Josh Evin,” said skater Justin Moroz. “He was an amazing person and we’re here in part to honour his spirit.” The skate was a also something of a demonstration to the city, Moroz said, to highlight the large number of people in town who are waiting desperately for a skate park to be built in Nelson. “We’ve been struggling for an outdoor park for so long. It’s not just skaters who would benefit from the park,” he added. “It facilitates so many things, from bike riding to photography.”

NELSON BECKER

Skatboarders took to the streets Monday to take part in International Go Skateboarding Day, and also to honour a friend and world class skater, Josh Evin.

No bobsleds, �� no skateboards, no rollerblades, no way!

Nelson’s bobsled team could be in trou�� ble. A recent visit by council to the City of Nelson’s Traffic Bylaw dredged up particulars around the use of various transport apparatus on city streets, which didn’t initially sit well with Councilor Deb Kozak. Nelson City Bylaw No. 3156 states that, “No person shall ride any skateboard, roller skates, sleigh, toboggan, bobsled or similar apparatus on any highway or sidewalk.” Doing so could result in having said apparatus removed, detained or impounded by a Peace Officer or Bylaw Officer. “This bylaw was brought back before

��

council and there were new bits put into it. Some of these items were long standing and I wanted to see them looked at,” says Kozak. Kozak wants the bylaw enforcement to reflect the active community and respect the families that live here. “What I raised is that on less busy streets in neighbourhoods, it’s a common occurrence to see kids or adults rollerblading, skateboarding, playing street hockey or doing something on the street. But if they’re safe and on streets where there’s not heavy traffic, it seemed to make sense to me that we need to have our bylaw address the needs of the community.”

Councilor Kozak is a proponent for greener ways to travel about the city and commute to work. “I was very much in support of our action transportation plan that encourages people to use forms of transportation other than your car, which may be rollerblades.” Ultimately Kozak wants to be certain that when the bylaw is applied, it’s done so with discretion. “If an action is deemed to be unsafe then the bylaw officers or police have the latitude to check that behaviour. But where we have kids on the street learning to ride a bike on the sidewalk or in their neigh-

still take place out in the community.” �� The issue of safety was an area in which council agreed and the policy surrounding �� the enforcement of the bylaw has been handed back to staff to rework. Kozak is confident it will be implemented when it comes back before council for a vote. “I think the fact that we have so many people around the table with good heads serves our community well, so when were reviewing bylaws and we’re thinking about how our community is governed we can come up with appropriate wording to make it fit.”

Lending a hand to Our Daily Bread

Just like many of its clients, Our Daily Bread has fallen on hard times. In part the noon meal program is a victim of its own success. The staff have seen a dramatic rise in the number of meals served, with 22,000 plus people served in 2009. In 2008, the total was just under 18,000. In 2007, the daily average was 65 customers. This year the numbers have ranged from 100 to 120, and the peak summer season is still ahead. The 2007 per meal production cost was $2.56. This year’s per meal cost is $4. The 2009 donations received from individuals and organizations was $77,000. But even if this level of generosity is maintained in 2010, it won’t fully meet the need. The

been thinkin’ about George Millar number of local people with low-paying jobs has increased. Average rents have increased along with the summer transient population. Since an appeal to regular contributors was made a few weeks ago, some good things have happened. One capital expense was the need for a replacement vent hood for the kitchen. A used one was donated. Some modifications will be necessary to make it work. Some significant donations have also come in.

But a change has been forced on Our Daily Bread. Instead of the “donate if you can” policy that has been in effect since the program began in 2003, a direct charge will be made to cover the $4. For the regulars who frequently enjoy the noon meal, a $20 meal card is good for 22 meals. Pastor Jim Riemer, the program’s founder, admits that turning people away if they can’t pay was not an easy decision to reach. The program was started to help those who were without any financial resources to get healthy enough to obtain jobs. When you nurture stronger individuals, you nurture a stronger community.

Our wet and windy weather explained There is a wonderful locally based website which Nelson residents may wish to investigate (http:// kootenay-lake.ca/). There are several topic areas on the website, and some of them are more science oriented than others. There is a well supported and interesting section describing why the interior wet belt we live in is indeed wet (http://kootenay-lake. ca/weather/wetbelt/). The website shows a radar image of the province which illustrates that the Coastal region has rough terrain,

dr. science Morgan Dehnel the Okanagan smooth terrain, and the Kootenay region rough terrain. Wind speed near the surface of the earth is affected by friction, such that wind crossing rough terrain slows down, and wind crossing smooth terrain speeds up. In an area, such

as the Kootenays, where the terrain is rough, the wind enters from the west at a relatively high speed, and leaves on the east at a fairly low speed. The wind speed slows due to friction. As a consequence, more air mass is entering the Kootenays than is leaving, so the air must rise over the Kootenays to accommodate the accumulating air mass. Where air ascends, clouds and precipitation occur. For a more detailed and complete explanation, please visit the website cited above.

EcoCentric: Investing in Carbon Offsets Last week we discussed the basics of Carbon Offsets, as well as some of their benefits and shortfalls. If you’re concerned about climate change, and the vast majority of us are, the best thing you can do is reduce your carbon footprint overall. Some simple lifestyle changes will make a huge difference (e.g. buy locally, drive less, avoid air travel, etc.). However, if you are somebody who has to drive or fly quite a bit or if you have to heat your home with fossil fuels and are interested in offsetting some of your impacts, purchasing Carbon Credits to offset personal greenhouse gas contributions may be of

eco centric Wendy Horan interest to you. A Carbon Offset is an emission-reduction credit from another organization’s project that results in less carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere than would otherwise occur. There are a number of options out there. A common example of a Carbon Offset involves investment is less-polluting forms of power production, such as wind farms. Investing in tree planting efforts is another popular option, particularly in BC. A simple Google search

Holy Smoke house arrest more like a prison sentence, Skogstad JULIA GILLMOR House arrest can be more confining than a jail cell. Former Holy Smoke owners and marijuana advocates Alain Middlemiss, Paul Deflice and employee Kelsey Stratas, recently saw their jail sentences converted to house arrest by the BC Court of Appeals. But the conditions of the house arrest currently remain undefined. “Not being allowed out in the yard is not a condition you ever see but since they were released without these details being known then you have to assume that everything that’s not permitted is prohibited,” said the men’s defense attorney, Donald Skogstad. “Right now, if you looked at it literally, they can’t leave the house if there’s a fire in the house. Prisoners get more rights than they do at present.” The appeal case, which Skogstad says will set precedence for house arrest, is mired in an unusual delay by the Crown to apply terms to the sentence. As it currently stands the trio have a medical release, which allows them to go to the hospital should an emergency arise. “I think if they want to stop you from seeing your dentist or other basic things like that it’s cruel and unusual as used in the Charter.

stand it’s a directive out of Vancouver and that directive may come out of Ottawa,” said Skogstad. “The court of appeal said they should have the usual conditions. We know what the usual conditions are and they’re saying in this case, ‘Well this time they don’t include the usual things.’” The issue most at risk for Skogstad’s clients is whether or not they will be allowed to leave the house to go to work. “It’s a big deal when you don’t have a lot of savings. You can’t get welfare when you’re in jail, which is what this is considered to be, so what do you do to eat if you don’t have savings? If you can’t work and you can’t get welfare what do you do? It’s all got to be looked at.” It will be June 24 or July 5 before the final ruling is known. “It will get resolved, there’s no question, and the judge is hinting that he’s going to provide a number of reasons for them to be out. We just can’t agree. It’s a question of how much freedom they’re going to get, not if.” The big question on Skogstad’s mind is why the Department of Justice is not agreeing to the usual conditions under house arrest. “It’s like pulling teeth to even get the medical out of them. It’s sore loser syndrome.”

opinions&letters Try to be compassionate for others’ mistakes Dear Editor, We have all heard the horrific news of the mauling of a young baby back east. I wanted to express an opinion on the news channels, but all further comments have been stopped on this subject. Many of the comments sent in sided with the dogs, and how we as humans should know better. However, I would like to take things

from a different angle. How many of us have NEVER been negligent in our lives? Most likely we were fortunate that something so horrific as this was never the outcome. Rather than charging this woman for this negligence that will haunt her for the rest of her life, we should show some compassion and mercy. Comments on the news were that the community

was in shock. Perhaps they should do something positive for all and come alongside this young woman and her family and surround them with love. This was not a deliberate act. Before we cast those stones of condemnation, we should remember that it could easily have been us. Judith Rosenberg Nelson

Problems with the forest industry Dear Editor, People should be aware that the forest industry and Forest Service are much like B.P. and the U.S Coastguard. Very cozy with each other. Deforestation isn’t as dramatic or obvious as oil spills. However, any scientist that criticizes clearcutting and deforestation as a cause for climate change is treated the same as centuries ago when church and government denied that the earth was

round or that it revolved around the sun. The forest service will not encourage any logging other than clearcutting. There are no opportunities for small scale, or selective logging. Forget jobs, this is about the last thing the forest service or forest industry cares about. B.P. is motivated by profit, so is the forest industry. The government bureaucracies that are supposed to

look after thee public interest are more concerned with industry profit than anything else. If you want to do logging based on good science and other than clearcutting, you might as well move to Europe. Shame shame on the forestry profession. Greg Wozny Ymir

the Question:

Should the species of trees planted by Nelson homeowners be limited to trees that do not grow over a certain height?

75%: Do not limit the species at all

25%: Limit the species to those that do not grow tall

72 respondants

"CONSIDER your neighbours view as you would like them to consider yours.” “HOW tall is tall?” “STOP trying to ‘manage’ every tiny part of people’s lives!” “THE planting of any and all trees is always a great thing.”

“TREES make the city look less of a city.” “CAN’T imagine the need for this kind of limitation.” “HOUSES are fuel for fires too. What is next?” “WHAT a boring landscape we would have with only dwarf tree varietals.”

“YES the trees are fire fuel, but they are also oxygen. Enough trees get cut down each day.”

“DIVERSITY of trees is vital for the health of our ecosystem.”

“TREES can be pruned or topped if they exceed a height limit.”

“THAT was tough to decide. Of course I want freedom but I also do not want the whole view blocked by a neighbour’s gigantic tree and then have it be an issue of contention.”

“TWO words - “Slope stabilization.” “PEOPLE should be sensitive to their neighbours views.” “LIMIT tree species to those that are indigenous.” “NEW plantings only, existing trees can stay.” “A view is a huge asset, not only by increasing property values but also to increase well being and encourage relaxation..... Sit and enjoy the view.” “WE should care about how our decisions affect other people, you know, conscious living. However, we also should be able to plant what ever we wish in our gardens.”

“THERE should be guidelines also as to type of species best suited to an urban environment.” “A height bylaw would/should apply to anything on the property, not just trees.” “CLEAN air and natural prevention of soil erosion is far more important to the collective than a single person’s view.” “WE already have too many rules. Since when does money mean more than the beauty of nature.”

This survey only represents the people who answered it. This survey is only intended to stimulate public discusion.

Should the City of Nelson have water meters?

Every year, Nelson has water restrictions. If we meter water, then the big users will pay more and those who conserve will pay less.

Should Nelson have a designated ‘bathing suit optional’ beach?

There are many people in our community who want one. It is legal in Canada for both men and women to be topless. A designated beach would keep people of conﬂicting lifestyles apart.

Publisher’s Comment:

What kind of cultural tourism town do we want to be? A Cultural Tourism Strategy must be one that creates visitors out of tourists. To accomplish this, every visitor to our community must be able to interact with our culture and lifestyle. There are people in our community willing to become Nelson and area ambassadors. I for one, would be pleased if someone in the newspaper industry from anywhere in the world, got in touch with me when they were visiting Nelson. I would be happy to spend time with them. Let’s develop an inventory of locals who would be happy to meet our visitors. What we don’t want to lose is the essence of community. When I walk down the streets of Banff, while it’s very beautiful, I don’t have a sense of community. I don’t want to see that happen to Nelson. Nelson could definitely use a festival and there have been many attempts at creating one. Our problem is that we don’t have a festival venue. While Lakeside Park is beautiful and in many ways could work for a festival, the

City of Nelson does not allow an entrance fee to be charged. This inhibits the type of events that can be held there. Perhaps we could revisit the floating band shell that used to be between the soccer fields and Lakeside Park. We should also be soliciting conventions. Art and music, therapists, philosophers, or community organizers could hold conventions in Nelson and we could provide a convention bureau that looks after them. Culture is greater than art and heritage. A synonym could be lifestyle. Our culture is what we export. We are friendly and active. We are curious and, well, sometimes we hug. You can always tell a tourist. They look up and down, everywhere except at you. They might be holding maps or appear lost. Let’s not let our visitors get away with ignoring us. Approach them as you would approach a local. “Hi, how are you? Are you lost? Or did you just find yourself in Nelson?”

ADA DAY! Minto

Street Talk:

Friday, July 2 at SpiritBar, 422 Vernon St.

What does being Canadian mean to you?

Minto is a five piece folky, rock and roll band from Vancouver. Hailing from all over Canada, these five friends starting making country tinged folk music about five years ago and slowly progressed into a stomping good time of a band. Their first album, Fields and Factory Floors was a lofi gem with some mixtape hits. And after sonically changing it up, the band decided to record a second album with indie rock super hero, Steve Albini, in Chicago, Illinois. The gang gigs constantly around BC and Western Canada, and have taken their beer soaked, sweaty show on the road, coast to coast. Minto plays SpiritBar on Canada Day weekend.

RIBBIT. RIBBIT. Froggy Fest Saturday, June 26, 11 a.m. at Sinixt Land, 4210 Passmore Lower Rd., Vallican JULIA GILLMOR It takes a village to raise a child and this weekend the Sinixt nation is celebrating children and children at heart at the fifth annual Froggy Fest. What began as a fundraiser to raise awareness of the Sinixt people has become a community event and one of the only childrens’ festivals in B.C. “It’s a way for the Sinixt to honour the kids. It’s a celebration for the summer solstice also and it’s a reward for finishing the school year. The chaos is there, the kids are in charge and we’re there just catering to their every need,” says organizer Lola Campbell. The day will be filled with workshops and singing, story telling and performances all geared towards children. Organizers, however, are ensuring there’s something for every age group. “We didn’t want it to be just for the little kids and not have something for the older ones. We’ve got DJ Rhapsody on board to help out and get he older children excited.” Tipis accentuate the mystery and beauty of First Nation traditions and provide space for the workshops. “Some kids, even native kids haven’t experienced sitting inside a tipi let alone spending time in one doing crafts. It’s a really fun, fun vibe,” says Campbell. The days’ roster of events includes instrument making, puppet making, mask making, music and dances. A crowd pleaser has become the annual sock horse race. “We make

sock horses all day out of old socks constructed with a stick. The kids build their own and at the end of the day we have a horse race with the different age groups and that’s very popular.” Most workshops culminate in performances that will be presented by the children themselves. “We have a parade soon after the kids get here. We go straight to work with the crafts making masks and prepare for the parade. It’s actually children performing for children. They not only get to see a performance they get to take part in one. ” Food vendors will be on site but families are welcome to bring a sack lunch and cooler and hunker down for the day. The cost of admission is free for children and $10 for adults. Campbell adds, “We don’t want to be sticklers so if someone can’t afford it, we still want the kids to come and just tell them at the gate. We want this to be accessible to everyone. It is a fundraiser but it’s more about the kids.” Although the plight of the Sinixt people is still very much at the core of this event, it will take a back seat during Froggy Fest. “We’re going to have a Sinixt information both and we are fighting for our identity and that’s always on our minds, but on this day our awareness is on the children. “It feels so good at the end of the day to see all the kids going away, tired, sleeping on their parents shoulder, all face painted up and pure tuckered out from having fun.” For information call 250-226-6773 or visit www.sinixtnation.org.
