Where's the beef? In your backyard. Foodie turned business owner is bringing 100 Mile Diet beef to tables, both restaurant and home alike JULIA GILLMOR Jen Barclay wants to go slow. Inspired by Italy’s slow food movement, her new business Fattoria, focuses on eating with a conscience. Fattoria is Italian for farm and Barclay is making local and humanely raised beef available to consumers in the Nelson area. “I speak Italian and I’ve spent a lot of time in Italy and I love all things Italian,” says Barclay. “Their slow food movement was a big eye opener. When you go to Italy you eat what they grow in Italy, period. End of story.” After a serendipitous encounter with Creston farmers, Barclay became enlightened to the abundance and availability of local beef. Her business will liaise with farmers in the Creston valley supplying beef that follows 100 Mile Diet philosophy. “The number one issue amongst all the farmers was that they had all this great product but they’re farmers, they’re not marketers. They didn’t know how to sell it and they needed help,” says Barclay. “The more I learned about how animals are treated just so we can have as much as we want, whenever we want it, at the lowest price possible, got me crazed and that’s what started it all.” �� Eating with a conscience means eating the entire cow. The biggest challenge facing Fattoria is how to sell and disperse an entire cow. Restaurants tend to want specific cuts and most families don’t have space in their freezers for whole sides of beef. So Barclay came up with the

The residential packages are small enough to fit in the freezer with room for other stuff and we can get approximately 20 packages out of one animal. “The cost is $140 per package. “These packages are a mix of all cuts. It’s a selection of

Celebrate all nationalities this Canada Day With Canada Day around the corner, many of us will be celebrating the fact that we live in such a beautiful and rich country. Many of us were born and raised here, and others have never even set foot in another country. On the flip side of that, there are many families in the Kootenays who have recently moved here from other countries, and for whom this is their first Canada Day. I live in Ymir, and even in our small town of 300 people, we are fortunate to have a new family from Russia. They made me think about all the new families amongst us that come from far way lands and from �� very different cultures. How hard is it for them to �� come to a country with different food, different traditions, and different languages? According to RDCK’s �� 2006 population statistics,

almost 11% of the Central Kootenay residents are immigrants. Almost 10% of the young families that use our Community Action Programs for Children (CAPC) programs have been in Canada for less than five years. The challenges these families face our huge. Not only do they have the regular challenges any parents of young children face, but they also deal with feelings of isolation, loss of culture, learning a new language, leaving behind of family and friends, and the hardships of starting over. In spite of all these challenges, the Kootenays continue to

draw immigrants from all over the world and within Canada. On this Canada Day I would like to say Welcome to all new families that have joined us from all over the world and thank you for all that you offer our communities. If you are one of these families, drop by Kootenay Kids Family Place to learn about great drop in groups where you can meet other young families and other new residents. From July 6 – August 10th we will be hosting a Play In The Park Group at Lakeside Park from 10:00-11:30am with snacks and crafts.

$63m science project at UBC

The ospreycam follows the action of three chicks and their parents.

Not your average peep show Visit www.fwcp.ca this summer for a rare opportunity to see into the daily life of an osprey family. The Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program (FWCP), run by BC Hydro, the Ministry of Environment (MOE) and Fisheries & Oceans Canada, worked with the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area (CVWMA) to install a

webcam on an osprey nest in the Creston Valley. The osprey nest cam will show live-streaming images of the hatching, feeding and daily life of a pair of osprey and their eggs. “We’re pretty excited about this for sure,” says FWCP wildlife biologist Irene Manley from BC Hydro. “Two chicks hatched on June 15 and a third the following day.”

The camera was installed in early April this year prior to the ospreys’ return. Several changes have been made since the last year of live-streaming in 2007. “Being so close to the nest means the camera lens can come under direct fire, mostly from flying remnants of fish!” added Manley. - submitted

Our Daily Bread using drastic measures JULIA GILLMOR There’s no such thing as a free meal anymore at Our Daily Bread in Nelson. Since 2003 Pastor Jim Reimer has operated a hot lunch, barrier-free program from his parish on Stanley St. but this year he was forced to make a decision he didn’t want to make. “The basic cost of a meal is $4. In May we had 150 people here and we had $6 in the offering basket,” says Reimer about the program. “Do the math; it’s just not sustainable. Our major fundraising drive is at Christmas time and by May we were broke. We had $1000 left in the bank. But we’re a place of faith!” he laughs. Faced with little alternative, Reimer decided to implement an action they hadn’t ever considered before. They asked their guests and clients using the service what should be done. “They came up with this idea that we should get a punch card. Locals would pay for the punch card a total of $20 dollars and get 22 meals on the

card. So people on welfare Wednesday or whenever they get paid can buy a punch card for 20 bucks, which means their getting a meal for 90 cents.” Individuals who arrive without a punch card would be charged $4 to cover the cost of the meal. “What happened was astonishing. The day we implemented, June 1, we had 22 people show up. And they were people with punch cards,” Reimer says. That number has now averaged out to about 45 daily users. The program is a victim of its own success and Reimer sites the economy, the rising cost of living and the influx of travelers from Ontario and Quebec for the spike in the numbers. “The economy took a big downturn and it affected Ontario and Quebec. And just like we did in the 30s, and just like we did in the 70s, we started hitchhiking,” says Reimer. “It was very hard for me to think that I was turning anyone away hungry, unfortunately I did a few times because I thought we had to be hard about it.” The next challenge

Reimer had to face is how to help the people who need the program the most, but can’t come up with the $20 required for the card. “The challenge is this, if a person has an addiction issue then they’d rather spend the 20 bucks on drugs than on food. By me not giving them food I’m not helping them. However, I can work with those people and somehow we can figure out a way to get them their 20 dollars and bridge that gap.” Our Daily Bread accepts fresh food donations from the Kootenay Co-op but says the rest of the large local chains have a corporate policy of not giving away produce despite throwing out fresh fruit and vegetables that don’t cut the muster. “Literally thousands of dollars of food goes into dumpsters every day in Nelson and they won’t give it to us and I think that’s a shame. And that’s where our food costs have really skyrocketed.” Individuals can contribute cash donations by mailing cheques to Our Daily Bread, 812 Stanley St., Nelson, V1L 1N7.

Holy Smoke sentencing issues resolved JULIA GILLMOR The BC Court of Appeal handed down conditions for sentencing surrounding Holy Smoke owners, Alain Middlemiss and Paul DeFelice and employee Kelsey Stratas. Sentenced to house arrest without conditions made it illegal for the group to leave home even in the event of fire.

”We brought it ahead early and it went to a higher court,” says defense lawyer, Donald Skogstad. On Wednesday, June 22, Middlemiss, DeFelice and Stratas were given the normal conditions that usually come with house arrest. “They can go to work, they can go to the doctor, they can go to the dentist, they can go to church, says Skogstad. “It’s finally resolved.”

On June 22, 2010, it was announced that TRIUMF, Canada’s Laboratory for Particle and Nuclear Physics located at UBC in Vancouver, had received a total of $62.9 Million to fund the Advanced Rare IsotopE Laboratory (ARIEL). The funding came from the provincial and federal governments and from TRIUMF and its partners. ARIEL will be built and commissioned within four years. TRIUMF’s core accelerator is a cyclotron from which protons with kinetic energy up to 500 MeV (Million electron Volts) can be extracted. However, the ARIEL project will be a complementary high-power electron linear accelerator utilizing superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) technology. This will be a first in Canada, and it ensures that Canadian scientists and engineers will be kept abreast of this most up to date and important accelerator technology. This will enable TRIUMF and Canadian companies such

dr. science Morgan Dehnel as Pavac to participate in the proposed International Linear Collider (ILC) which is under consideration for international funding and building in about 10 years time. The ARIEL linear accelerator can be used to create rare isotopes by using the accelerated electrons to bombard a variety of target materials. TRIUMF scientists can ionize these rare isotopes, and then in turn accelerate these with another superconducting linear accelerator that is already onsite. This complements a similar programme already in existence at TRIUMF, but adds additional capability and different radioisotopes. One of the main areas of experimentation involves

the study of cosmic physics, because selected rare isotopes created by ARIEL are those that are created in stars. Thus, reactions which occur in stars can be studied in detail. On the more practical side, the ARIEL facility can be used as a new technological approach to alleviating the technetium radioisotope shortage in nuclear medicine worldwide that is occurring because the nuclear reactors of Canada and other nations are nearing the end of their useful life. This funding announcement affects some of us in the Kootenays directly because the Nelson based company, D-Pace, has designed several types of magnets to be used in the facility in December 2009, and now D-Pace shall have the opportunity to quote on the drafting and manufacturing of these magnets for ARIEL. D-Pace shall also be given the opportunity to bid on the design and supply of other magnets for the facility.

Whitewater expansion plans approved Whitewater Ski Resort has announced the June 4 approval of their updated Resort Master Plan by the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts. In addition to changes which are reflected in the Master Plan, Whitewater has made a number of commitments, many related to wildlife management, including a commitment to adhere the Wildlife Guidelines for Backcountry Tourism / Commercial Recreation and best management practices throughout the development area. Intensive consultation with regard to the mountain caribou winter range extending into the area known as Qua Basin inside Whitewater’s Controlled Recreation Area (CRA), has resulted in an agreement by Whitewater to retain the Provincial Government’s Action Regulation (GAR) order under the Mountain Caribou Recovery Strategy specific to the Qua

Basin and to exclude the majority of the CRA and Nordic area from the GAR. The Qua Basin will remain part of the GAR. The Master Plan has been updated to reflect this agreement. Whitewater has also committed to continual monitoring and mitigation of the effects of increased usage of its access road and will work with the road contractor in an effort to maintain reliable ski area access. Whitewater is a headwater area for the Apex Creek and is committed to following good stewardship practice with regard to the preservation of the creek by adhering to necessary setbacks, bridging where required and implementing water conservation practices and technology. The full Master Plan can be viewed at www.skiwhitewater.com. - submitted

Local french school joins StrongStart BC

One of the province’s newest StrongStart BC Outreach programs had its’ official inauguration at École des Sentiers-Alpins, a Conseil scolaire francophone (CSF) school in Nelson. “The École des SentiersAlpins Franc départ centre is a great addition to our StrongStart BC programs which help prepare preschool aged children for school by providing fun, interactive learning environments,” said Minister

of Education Margaret MacDiarmid on Thursday, June 10. StrongStart BC is a free drop-in early learning program for preschool-aged children accompanied by a parent or caregiver. A qualified early childhood educator leads activities, including stories, music, and arts, to help children grow linguistically, emotionally and socially, and become comfortable in a school-like setting. The CSF received

$100,000 in funding for two StrongStart BC Outreachprograms operating at four locations around the province. This money assists in preparing in-school space and for operating costs. In addition to the StrongStart BC Outreach program at École des Sentiers-Alpins, there are three additional StrongStart BC early learning programs serving the wider community in Nelson. - submitted

What causes any country to be a desirable place in which to live? Each person’s list would vary somewhat from the lists of others. Two things stand out in my mind as particularly relevant. The first is how well a nation cares for those who lack the ability to care for themselves. The second is the level of pay-back in donations and volunteer activities provided by those citizens able to make cash and in-kind contributions to the local organizations that strengthen our communities. Those who lack the ability to care for themselves includes the children who are the promise of Canada’s future, the seniors who helped shape Canada’s present, and those of any age whose health-care needs exceed their ability to provide payment. Laws are in place to protect children from abuse. There are also social services provisions for them.

We all know that these provisions do not perform to the ideal level of quality of life. We need to be vigilant to protect and improve what we have. But we are so much better off than people in many other countries. As we celebrate Canada Day this week, let’s all think about the reasons we value Canada as our home. I just about added “and native land,” but Canada’s population includes many who came from elsewhere. The fact that Canada IS the land of choice for people from many different places has to speak favourably of our country. “O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.”

Neighbours. We don’t choose them, yet they play an important role in our lives, living closer than friends and family and often knowing us in daily life in ways our family may never see. As neighbours we are intrinsically entwined through the geography of place and daily events which take place at a neighbourhood level. Frequently we have more in common in our daily lives than we have with family or friends living even short distances away. Though family and friends may be the first we call in an emergency, it is our neighbours who are often able to offer immediate assistance and help provide us with a sense of security. Over the years I have experienced a number of critical situations which deeply entwined my life with the families on my block. The most frightening for me was waking the family next door at 3 am when the crackling sound of burning wood awoke me to the panic realization their house was on fire. The flavour of every neighbourhood is different, each block unique. We learn about our neighbours

eco centric Cathrine Leighland and events over the garden fence or walking our dog and in this ongoing exchange of personal information and storytelling we become more engaged, our sense of community and interconnectedness expanded. My experience within neighbourhoods has been very powerful and I believe when we recognize we are part of a social network with those who live nearby, it increases the strength and stability of both our local neighbourhood and the wider community we are part of. I hear a lot of talk about community these days, especially among young people. It isn’t necessary to live in a cooperative or ecovillage to participate in community. Community is all around us. Simple recognition of our intrinsic involvement in something larger than our selves is all that is needed.

Should the City of Nelson have water meters?

June 30, 2010

opinions&letters

the Question:

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. BUSINESS should.

73 respondants

If the extra money they got went towards low income housing solutions, then I would support it.

72.6%: YES

Stacey Lock, Bonnington

27.4%: NO WE should also have improved (more restrictive) bylaws around domestic and industrial water consumption.

Yeah, if there is a shortage, it is definitely a good idea. Luckily I live on a creek and don’t have to worry about water shortages.

Mikey Vaclavik, Winlaw

Yeah, its a good idea.

Chris Hall, Nelson

Publisher’s Comment:

THOSE of us who conserve water are now paying for those who waste. Let’s reverse this. IT might help people remember that water is a precious commodity. Perhaps they won’t be watering their driveway with it. THOSE who save water will benefit and those who over use will be motivated to be less carefree. ABSOLUTELY. We are under the illusion that our water supply is limitless and most people treat it this way. As with most services, it is only fair that the more we use, the more we should pay. IN Canada we use up to 5 times the amount of water as they do in Europe. It is an unbelievable luxury and waste that we are able to do so. Water metering, even if there is no charge for the water can reduce consumption by 20 per cent. HOW about we only develop as large as our water supply allows.

WHAT we have is a shortage of reservoirs not a shortage of water. Build more reservoirs. WATER isn’t limitless so people need to pay for what they use. THAT depends on the cost versus savings. IT’S the only way to have people actually conserve water - make them pay the cost. IT’S unfair that they double-ding secondary suites for equal water usage when the suites are largely not occupied by as many people as the main part of the home, therefore the actual water usage for the suite is lower, therefore the water charge should be lower. Meters would allow for charges based on use which would vary with the number of occupants. PUT the responsibility where it belongs. PEOPLE tend to value what they pay for. Yes, water falls freely from the sky, but there’s high planning, operations and maintenance costs to bring it to the tap. PAYING for what one uses is fair and seems to be the only way any significant conservation of water takes place.

TAXING water is an unfair tax on life. Before there were so many taxes and expenses mothers were able to stay home with the kids. Both my wife and I already have to work all the time just to get by, adding one more bill won’t help at all. No amount of money can stop desertification. NELSON does NOT have a water Supply problem (we have a lake full of water); what we have is a water DELIVERY challenge. Metering is unnecessary here and is expensive - use the money instead to improve the delivery systems so we can access what we have. I think it’s important for everyone to be aware of their resource consumption and make whatever changes possible to lower it. WE should pay collectively for essential infrastructure. IT’S only fair. Many people ignore the water restrictions. IF it is free, people will waste it. U N F O R T U N AT E L Y money is the only incentive for many to conserve, so we’ve got to use what we’ve got! WATER meters have proven their effectiveness everywhere they have been installed. CHARGE water and sewer proportional to property value like other items. ANYTHING that will make someone think twice before hosing down their driveway is OK by me! IT’S more fair. Use more, pay more.

This survey only represents the people who answered it. This survey is only intended to stimulate public discusion. Yes, absolutely. It just seems like common sense to me, and it will help people recognize when they are wasting water..

Caliente Cosgrove, Nelson

Should Nelson have a designated “bathing suit optional” beach?

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

Water, water, everywhere. There is not enough water to go around. Every year, for many years in Nelson, we have had to ration water. We’ve been told to water our plants and wash our cars judiciously. At the same time, we are developing land around Nelson that will bring people to our population who will be dependent on the same diminishing water resource. We could endeavour to solve this challenge by digging more wells, expanding our reservoir size, or shipping water greater distances. We could also look at how we might be able to utilize lake water for drinking water. At present, our water comes from the watershed that is the run-offs from snow and glaciers in our mountains that creates streams.

Because of climate change, the availability of water from year to year is variable. By far, the most cost effective way to deal with lack of resources is through conservation. Although, generally speaking, we endeavour to conserve water in our community, I believe that water meters would really drive the point home and would help to pay for longer term solutions. The installation of water meters would encourage households to take advantage of the moisture that falls from the sky by having rain barrels. If we don’t do something to alleviate the situation, we could very well end up like the ancient mariner who says, “Water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink.”

Fish Heads and Flowers Fish Heads to servers who handle cups, mugs and glasses by the top drinking edge with their fingers. I have been handed my drink by servers who have used their fingers around top edge and then I watched the same server(s) remove dirty cups or glasses the same way or handle money and then hand out another drink without washing their hands in between. - Yuck! Flowers to all of the truly amazing friends and families that so powerfully came together during this week of loss - to celebrate, remember, and acknowledge the life of an irreplaceable member of this community. - Thank you! Fish Heads to the person who complained about us pruning trees on

our own property... seriously?!! - I’ve got a life Flowers to all of the local businesses that do donate to most causes when asked. It is the kindness and generosity of all of you that helps make our community a great place to live and work. - Grateful canvasser Fish Heads to my neighbor who invades my privacy and practices excercise for inner peace. Try treating your neighbor with respect this will bring true inner peace. - Invading privacy is a crime Flowers to all my wonderful friends in Nelsonyou make me feel so loved! I will miss you all and all the fun we have! See you in the southern hemisphere. - Aussie mama

Allegoric Alchemy July 1 - 31 at Oso Negro Cafe, 604 Ward St.

Jan Formby, local potter, has side stepped once again into the medium of metal. Her new body of work will be featured at Oso Negro Cafe during the Month of July. Formby’s persistent fascination and respect for nature and wildlife are elevated in a rich narrative of bronze and aluminum relief. The story of balance, inter-dependency and symbiosis are told in the face ‘you’ look at in the “Mirror of Crann Bethadh”. In Celtic tradition when a tribe cleared the land for a settlement, they always left a great tree in the middle, known as the crann bethadh (krawn ba-huh), or Tree of Life, as the spiritual focus and source of well-being, it being able to absorb power from above and below. The renewed series of “Portal Ambassadors” door knockers and and wall hooks tell the paradoxical love stories of balance in the relationships between prey and predator.

Scopes by Stenya June 30 - June 29 Aries Mar 21 - Apr 19

If you find yourself getting impatient or even angry this week, first breathe deeply, then look within. Are you holding anger inside yourself? At yourself? You can express this anger or frustration in a creative and positive way.

Taurus Apr 20 - May 20

Are you limiting yourself in a way that is stopping you from exploring or learning new things? If you are getting stuck on the literal meaning of the events or definitions in your life, simply redefine them so they can be symbolic to the bigger picture.

Gemini May 21 - June 30

Family time can be your main focus right now. A happy home for you makes a happy heart. Take time to resolve any issues now before they become major problems later.

Cancer June 30 - Jul 22

You may be surprises at how things are aligning for you this week. You may become aware that there is more connected in your life than you previously thought.

Leo Jul 23 - Aug 22

Team project can be the key to success for you this week. We have two ears and one mouth, use this equation and apply it to your group situation. Try twice as much listening than talking for optimal results.

Virgo Aug 23 - Sept 22

People are looking to you for inspiration and guidance this week. Receive compliments graciously and avoid bragging, even if you do have bragging rights.

Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21

Pay attention to the small stuff this week. If you are wrapping up any project take a scrutinizing look at the details. What is overlooked now may take a lot of your time later to sort out. Avoid trying to do everything at once, stick to the priorities and take rests when you need to.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19

Aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 18

Your relationships are evolving. If it is hard for you to see where they are going have faith that things will work themselves out this week. You will have a better understanding of where the other person is at.

Pisces Feb 19 - Mar 20

Remain honest to your true feelings this week. You may be going through an important transition in your life right now. It is important to have a long term vision as well as living for each moment. Communication with other is essential to bring you to the next step.

HST hikes parks and camp fees JULIA GILLMOR When the Harmonized Sales Tax comes into effect on July 1, it will be applied to park facilities throughout the city and the Tourist Park on High St. In order to reflect the new tax, city council passed a motion to amend the bylaw for Park Facility Rates in Nelson at their meeting on Monday, July 21. The rates for Parks and Tourist Park Facilities have traditionally had “tax-in” prices, which included the GST. As a general rule, services that previously were subject to GST will now be subject to HST. Subsequently, the user fees will now be affected by the HST but will not provide extra revenue to the city.
