Nelson’s youth are once again making a difference in kids’ lives, and have high �� hopes that this year’s Keep the Beat event will be even better than the last. Keep the Beat is a 10hour music festival put on to raise funds for War Child Canada, a Canadian registered charity dedicated to lessening the suffering of children who are affected by war. “It brings out the community for a day of fun,”

and many new performers, such as Locomotive Ghost, will also be taking the stage. Also this year, organizers are pleased to have Alyson Rowe, War �� Child Canada’s Youth Outreach Manager all the way from Toronto, speak at the event. For Zibin, the benefit of having a youth-organized event such as Keep the Beat is obvious. “It’s important to support the community, and its great to have youth involved in organizing something like this,” Zibin said. “It builds experience for them, which hopefully leads to them helping the community for the rest of

A lot of the programs focus on rehabilitation and reintegration of children into society, some of whom have been enslaved as child soldiers and seen traumatic events. “It makes this life [in Nelson] seem so much better, and makes me appreciate where I live and how I live,” Zibin said. Keep the Beat is a great chance to make it a little easier for other kids out there.” Keep the Beat will be held Wednesday, July 21, from noon to 10 p.m. at Lakeside Park, rain or shine.

It helps them believe they can make a difference and initiate positive change. “And its a lot of fun!” War Child Canada’s programs and projects reach across the globe. In the Congo for example, Zibin explained the organization has built 35 schools and retrained 400 teachers. In Afghanistan, women are being empowered through education programs to learn new skills, and are given financial assistance to start their own business-

Has the market ﬁnally found a home on Baker Street? The Wednesday market has resided in a few different locations over the past several years. Is Baker better?

block off busy Baker. The Capitol block and the Cowan’s block are close, and yet a tiny bit removed from the already difficult to negotiate Baker Stree. NO! A thousand times NO! This is the worst, most dispruptive site EVER.

I do think the location impedes traffic for local businesses. I think it’s great for the local businesses. It gives Baker Street a summer festive atmoshphere. I hope so. YES. finally an easy way to get to relax in the heart of downtown. it’s perfect! LET’S hope not! MY 4 year old said, “Wow, this is great, now I don’t have to hold your hand when crossing the street!” DEFINITELY, this is the best rendition of the Wednesday market yet. I hope so - downtown is the best place for the market as it is accessible to the most people.”

NOTHING is permanent. I thought Baker St is where the market has always been; where else would it be? At Walmart? I sure hope so. It’s about time. It’s a great mix with the Baker Street merchants. Many thanks to them for supporting the market! I think it should be right after the bridge at Grohmann Narrows, on the highway. I think it would skip alot of the paperwork. THE only better place is Cottonwood or Lakeshore. WHY isn’t it held at Cottonwood Falls? It makes more sense to me. It wouldn’t bother traffic or other busineses there, and it’s beautiful. HOW about Victoria St instead? It wouldn’t

I hope so! It’s the perfect venue and sends a clear message that Nelson supports local growers. BAKER Street is much more attractive with fewer vehicles on it anyway. A B S O L U T E LY. Baker Street. is the living room of our little town. HOW about making it permanent, as in there every day of the week! I like it. It’s central and easy for people to walk through. How do the businesses like it? IT should be two blocks - there is a waiting list for vendors! HOPEFULLY it will expand to take 2-3-4 blocks! On the way to having a car-free Baker Street.

Police attended within minutes and located the unoccupied truck loaded with the stolen parking meters. An 18 year old female and an 18 year old male associated with the truck were located less than a block away in possession of parking meter parts and contents and arrested for Possession of Stolen Property over $5000, Theft over $5000, Mischief over $5000 and Dangerous Driving. Damage to several parking meters is estimated to be well over $5000. Police believe that alcohol and drugs were contributing factors. The Nelson residents are scheduled to appear in Nelson Provincial Court on October 5, 2010. Nelson Police are thankful that no one was injured in this serious incident.

Street Talk: Has the Wednesday market finally found it’s home on Baker Street?

I’ve been part of the market for many years and the move to Baker Street has been great, even when it’s raining!

Dave Feehndrich, Kootenay Soap Co. Balfour

We’re new here, so we have nothing to compare it to. But so far, it has been very busy and just fantastic. And the music is lovely.

Giselle Duval & Tim Andrew, The Rave ’n’ Iron Edgewood

I hope so! I’ve been a part of the Wednesday market for six years. Holding the market at the aquatic centre was interesting because it brought in a different crowd of people, but Nelson is such a community-minded town that it makes so much sense to have the market right in the centre of everything.

NOTICE TO EXPRESS READERS AND ADVERTISERS Page 6

theExpress

July 14, 2010

IN LIGHT OF THE RECENT CLOSURE OF THE NELSON DAILY NEWS AND WEEKENDEER ECONOMICS OF RUNNING A NEWSPAPER The newspaper industry over the last few years has been challenging, especially for daily newspapers. Years ago newspapers could charge very high amounts for their advertising and newpaper owners became the wealthiest in their community (think Randolf Hurst). Through technology and computers it became possible for smaller, more localized newspapers to start. But still, newspapers have to pay wages, they have to pay printing costs, distribution costs, and the other fixed costs it take to run a business. The income needs to come from either the reader, the advertiser, or both. In The Express model, we have chosen to give away the paper and have the cost borne by the advertisers. The honest truth is that in the last 22 years, The Express has paid for itself, but has not gotten rich. The narrowing of the advertising market and the competitvely low prices offered by other newspapers has played heavily upon us. We charge realistic rates and cannot afford a price war with Black Press or anybody else. We can afford, however, to compete on quality. In a way, running a community newspaper from a single owner’s point of view is very much a labour of love and a community service. THE EXPRESS AND THE NELSON STAR The Express does not wish to put anybody out of business. We only wish to be the best that we can. We have more readers than any other local paper. It is the advertisers that control the situation right now. The Express calls upon the advertisers of this community, whether they are former Daily News advertisers or present Nelson Star advertisers, to consider these things when making advertising decisions. Where do you get the best bang for your buck? Keep in mind the difference between distribution, copies printed, and readership. ADVERTISING IN THE EXPRESS The Express is dependent on advertisers’ support in order to exist and in order to continue to improve. Even though we are the most read publication in the area, advertisers often look at which dollar figure is lower rather than what they are getting for their money. WHAT YOU CAN DO You can continue to support The Express Community Newspaper by reading it, by using it’s free classified section, by sharing with the community your opinions through letters to the editor, commentaries, and survey questions, street talk, and any other way. It’s important that advertisers realize that their best advertising value is in The Express. And they need to know where their customers will see their ads. I am committed to this community and I have no desire to expand outside of this area. My objective in running The Express Newspaper is to provide a communications media between people in this community and to provide a place for their voices. The Express is

committed to giving everyone, young, old, left-wing, right-wing, conservative, liberal, the respect that they all deserve. The Express is independent, meaning that I am the only owner and am not dependent on any corporate ownership nor on any particular political party. I take the attitude that every voice needs to be heard because everyone knows some piece of the puzzle. MESSAGE TO THE ADVERTISERS OF THE NELSON COMMUNITY The Express Newspaper is the best value in this community. We have 12,345 households that receive our paper and have 25,000 potential readers. We claim nearly 80 per cent readership (Combase is a polling organization controlled by advertising agencies and the newspaper industry to be able to provide accurate information as to readership vs. distribution of community newspapers. They conducted the survey that The Express participated in 2007.) NUMBERS...WHAT DO THEY MEAN? Print Run: Simply the number of copies a newspaper prints. There is no way of verifying this number except by actually seeing the printing invoices. Distribution or Verified Circulation: The acutal number of copies delivered or picked up. This number is verified through various organizations and is an requirement to be a member of the BC and Yukon Community Newspaper Association. Both The Express Newspaper and the Nelson Star, as members of BCYNCA, must be able to provide the distribution numbers to people who ask. The Express’ verified circulation number is 13,000. Distribution does not give you any information about readership. You could deliver to 100 percent of the households and everybody could just be using it as starter fuel. Readership: This is much more difficult to verify and at this point in time to get accurate numbers, the best method to use is random telephone surveys. Over the years, The Express had contracted with private pollsters in order to determine readership. We did this both for being able to publicize the numbers and as well, to understand our weaknesses and strengths. We know from unbiased professional surveys that our readership is around the 80th percentile. We know that we are the best read newspaper by far in this community.

I want people to write to me, to my personal email (nbecker@uniserve.com) to let me know what The Express has not been doing that they wish it would, what mistakes we have made and what sucesses we have had. I own this newspaper and I take financial and legal responsiblity for it but the newspaper is dependent on your feeling that The Express represents you.

Oliver!

The Capitol Summer Youth Program presents Oliver!, the classis Dickins tale of poor singing orphans making their way through Victorian England.

Capitol Summer Youth gotta pick a pocket or two The Capitol Theatre Summer Youth Program presents Oliver! Thursday through Saturday, July 22–24, 7 p.m., matinee Saturday, July 24, 2 p.m. at the Capitol Theatre, 421 Victoria St.

JULIA GILLMOR Being born into a workhouse and life of poverty in Victorian England hardly seems worth singing about. But in this summer’s production of Oliver! the cast and crew of Charles Dickens’ classic story bring the fun and follies, trials and tribulations of a young boy’s life to the stage. Bringing his passion for theatre to the production is Trafalgar principal, thespian and long time director, Geoff Burns. “This is one of the great gifts the Capitol brings to the community,” says Burns. “It is an amazing opportunity for youth between the ages for 12 and 18, to have

such a positive and creative focus during the summer months.” A cast of 40 will grace the stage and pickpockets will come alive as the crafty characters Artful Dodger and Fagin unwittingly trick Oliver into joining them in a life of crime. “The nice thing about Oliver is that it has those youthful roles of the orphans and pickpockets as opposed to kids mostly pretending to be adults,” says Burns. “We needed to pick something that is appropriate and offers challenges in terms of singing and acting and dancing. This is a really great opportunity for those kids who are into singing as much as they are into acting.” Songs like “Consider Yourself at Home”, “Gotta Pick a Pocket or Two” and “Food Glorious Food” are just a few of the classics that will be performed. The cast follows an intense schedule with 16 days to learn and practice all their

lines, songs and dance steps. With a range in ages, the older children become mentors for the younger ones, often having been the recipients of that mentorship when they were first beginning in the theatre. “You see in some kids a transformation in the three weeks. But the great thing about having a show every summer is that you see this unbelievable transformation over a course of several years. “No matter how talented, the younger kids are shy and quiet but by opening night they’re just belting it out.” There is more gained than just experience on the stage. “After the final performance on Saturday night when the show is over, the kids cry and cry because it’s so intense. At the end of those three weeks they’ve made friends for life and I think it’s why so many kids come back year after year. It’s that powerful sense of community they get.”

They also develop a relationship with the theatre. “Some of them go on to study and work in theatre while others come back as audience members years later. We have lots of students who have gone on to do television and theatre while some have gone on to work in the technical side of theatre.” The Capitol has been running the summer children’s theatre program for over 20 years. Burns has been involved in 12 past productions and musical director Allison Girvan has been lending her expertise to the program since 1996. With four shows in three days and sellouts guaranteed, Burns is encouraging everyone to get their tickets early. “My one recommendation is to buy early because we do sell out.” Tickets are available through the Capitol Theatre and are available on line www. capitoltheatre.bc.ca

Fish Heads and Flowers Fish Heads to the drunk guys who parade Baker St. at 3 a.m. yelling and hollering. Some of us are trying to sleep! - Tired and cranky Flowers to the kind and compassionate woman who took the time to rescue our dog from the North Shore highway and return him back to our home. May the kindness you give be returned to you daily. - Grateful family Fish Heads to people who are all smarmy and smug to discover I am still sleeping at 9 a.m. Put your ego back in the box. You are not a superior animal just because you go to bed earlier that I do! - Not impressed Flowers to the motorcyclist who “stole” my parking spot on Canada day at Lakeside Park. You were attentive enough to see I was clearly turning around to back into this spot, and rode up to me and my (screaming at the time) 3 month old to ask if I was intending to park there. “Yes,” I blurted teary eyed. And you surrendered this spot back to us, ever so kindly. Thank you! I hope you snagged a spot as good as the one you gave back to us. - Grateful (and frazzled) New Mum Fish Heads to the parent in this town who used this column as a forum to judge and belittle another parent.

Former pharmaceutical sales representative K.L. Carlson has released a new book, Diary of a Legal Drug Dealer, One Drug Rep.

Books can be purchased at both venues.

Fish Heads to whoever stole my bike. It was my baby. - Very sad Flowers to the caped crusaders and masked avengers who work invisibly. Thank you for the work you do without credit and at your own expense. - Citizen Fish Heads to all the speed demons, please remember that summer has begun and the streets are bustling with children on bikes and skateboards.

And now after being a leading light in both the new folk and Americana movements, Eaglesmith stays at the cutting edge of the musical zeitgeist to help spark a rock’n’roll renewal. “We’re just turning it up smoking it every night just like 1967, and it’s so much fun,” he says. “There’s no money and everyone is in the recession, so you just go, well, this is the time to make great music.

Introduction to Ayurveda: Free Evening Lecture Wednesday, July 21, 7:30 p.m. at Shanti Yoga Studio, 237 Baker St.

Ayurveda translates into English as the “Science of Life” and is considered by many to be the oldest healing science in the world, a 4000 year old living tradition that focuses on the connection between the body and the mind. Allied with the practice of yoga, Ayurveda maintains a wealth of measures to maintain health, prevent disease and treat illness. With a strong focus on restoring balance, Ayurveda seeks to integrate the practitioner more closely with the healing power of nature. Todd Caldecott is a Medical Herbalist and practitioner of Ayurveda, the former clinical direc-

tor of Wild Rose College and a Registered Professional Herbalist with the American Herbalists Guild. He can be reached through his website at www.toddcaldecott.com.

Scopes by Stenya July 14 - July 20 Aries Mar 21 - Apr 19

Time for fun! Turn that frown upside down and do things that make you happy. If you are waiting for other people to cheer you up or expecting others to know what makes you happy, time to seriously reconsider this tactic

Taurus Apr 20 - May 20

f you have recently started on a new project or adventure it can surely be a great one. As long as you are whole-heartedly passionate about what you are doing then it can be a successful undertaking.

Gemini May 21 - July 14

Look within for the honesty you need right now. If you are looking outside yourself for answers you may not find them or even be led astray by other people’s strong influence on you. Before you make any important decisions find your answer within first.

Cancer July 14 - Jul 22

Taking the initiative will be key to the success of any undertaking right now. Instead of waiting for others to tell you the next step, think about the situation yourself and decide what the next logical step would be.

Leo Jul 23 - Aug 22

Silence can be more powerful than words sometimes. Use silence to it’s maximum effect by using timely silence this week. When you are searching for the right words and can’t seem to find them, try silence instead.

Virgo Aug 23 - Sept 22

Knowing when to push and when to give can really benefit you. You will know when to give a bit when you are being met with resistance. If you continue to push forward, you will only increase resistance. Notice how things flow more easily when you can become more flexible.

Easy Sudoku

Libra Sept 23 - Oct 23

Scorpio Oct 24 - Nov 21

The only person who knows what you want is you. You may forget what this is sometimes. Write it down, draw it, sing it, put it up where you can be constantly reminded what you need and want from life.

Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19

You may be called upon to be a leader in a group situation this week. A good leader listens two times more than they talk. Make sure you understand clearly what those around you need before taking action and giving direction.

Aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 18

This week pay attention to the details. Think the process through before taking action. Team work can be the key to success.

Pisces Feb 19 - Mar 20 What seems like a small adventure or event may turn out to be more life changing than you can imagine. Step to the edge of your comfort zone and things can happen.

Selkirk Saints add to summer camp lineup

Finding creative space can bring a new sense of relaxation to your life. Working within in this relaxing space can bring you much joy that can radiate into other areas of your life, like your work and home.

Like Seneca the Roman philosopher said, ‘Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity’. Avoid getting stuck in overly planning the details. Yes, being prepared is great but you can’t plan for everything.

Garage sales 101

It’s that time of year again: homeowners are digging through attics and basements and dragging life’s luggage to the curb in the hopes of passing it on to someone else for a small sum. It can be a lot of fun and a great social event, but you need to be prepared. Many tips that apply to general merchandising also apply to garage sales. For example, just as a city block with several shoe stores will attract more shoeaddicted buyers than a block with only one, neighbourhoods with multiple garage sales occurring simultaneously generate more interest than others. Advertising is essential. There are many on-line and newspaper classifieds that will run your ad for a couple of dollars, or even for free. Tell all your friends and coworkers about your event. Put up directional signs all around your neighbourhood but remember to remove them when it is all over. How you present your merchandise is as important as what you present. Dumping out a bag of mixed up used clothing is

nest building Kate Bridger not as appealing to browsers as clean garments that have been sorted and folded or hung in an orderly way. Group similar items together so that garden tools aren’t mixed in with hockey equipment and CDs aren’t in with the National Geographics. Price everything before sale day with easy-to-read labels but remain open to negotiations and don’t overprice—remember this is ‘stuff’ you don’t want anymore, so anything over a couple of pennies is lucre lining your pockets. It is expedient to sell certain items in batches. Instead of 8-track tapes at ten cents each, unload the lot for a dollar and let them become someone else’s problem. It will feel like a very long day so, when it’s all over, count up the cash and order a pizza.

The Nelson Airport:

Nelson Pilots Association

Since 1958, the Nelson Airport has been serving the community and taking people to the height of their imaginations. Nelson’s Norman Stibbs Municipal Airport is celebrating its 63rd anniversary. At this momentous occasion it is important to consider the challenges facing small airports today, the potential for signiﬁcant contributions to their communities, and how we can move in the right direction to use the airport to the best of its abilities.

CHALLENGES

ZBACKGROUND

Í Í There are many community groups that utilize the Nelson Airport, including the Air Cadets, Search and Rescue and school groups. Medical evacuation flights, forest fire fighting and patrols, and businesses also use our runway. But with our technology and infrastructure, there is a possibility to use our airstrip for much more.

Nelson’s airport has the potential to attract a new generation of small and efﬁcient aircraft whose business passengers can access all we have to offer. The retention and eventual expansion of Nelson’s airport would provide a more direct access to Nelson’s business core and provide a base of operations for more high tech and aviation-related services.

In order for community airports such as our to gain the competitive edge and to truly utilize the service, governments need to get involved, even at the municipal level. A long-term commitment to the airport is necessary to create incentives for business to invest. Consequently, planning for the waterfront lands should integrate a fully operational airport into its vision.

The estimated direct economic impact of airports in BC in 2001 was 30,000 jobs, $1.1 billion in wages and $3.8 billion in economic output. The BC government has stated that they will ensure that BC’s airports become the regional, social and economic engines they should be. The citizens of Nelson would beneﬁt from this activity as its airport is recognized as a vital community asset.

The solution? A number of untapped marketing opportunities exist to better utilize resources and turn the airport into a vibrant hub for tourism, high tech and other businesses and public services. It could generate a signiﬁcant income for the City and further contribute to Nelson’s social and economic development. As Nelson continues to grow and attract new people and new business to the region, the airport can play a vital role in attracting the brightest and best.

Wise community planners and developers will involve the airport in the planning process and focus on projects and developments that provide durable economic development that will can bring a value added aspect to the community. Some recommendations have been put forth to the City, and chief among them is the development of a forwardlooking vision and revitalization concept, including relevant objectives for

the airport. The City has established an Airport Advisory Committee representing stakeholders to aid in these tasks. Relentless upgrading is essential for competing in today’s economy. To innovate we need to forge new partnerships between industry, governments and user groups. Increasingly, governments are realizing that the real return on investment from their airports in economic growth, not the rent.
