STEPHANIE TAYLOR Valerie Sanderson wants you to eat your veggies. She also wants you to grow them yourself, and is providing some of the tools needed to get started on your own edible garden. The second annual Edible Garden Tour, which takes place this Saturday, July 24, is the perfect opportunity for people interested in learning more about utilizing their garden space and peeking in on some examples of gardening at its finest. “A lot of people are now trying to grow food in the city, and they don’t really know how,” Sanderson explained. “The Edible Garden tour is a way for people to connect and talk about the decisions they are making, the results they’re getting and supporting each other.” Edible Garden is a selfguided tour that visits 19 local gardens in Fairview, Uphill and Rosemont areas. Each of the gardens were selected for a specialized feature such as a well-planned irrigation system, a great greenhouse, and harmoniously shared spaces. Sanderson’s garden, for example, showcases good use of slope and shade to grow the ideal plants for �� her conditions.This year, local Kinesiologist Don Carmichael will be leading a guided tour through the Fairview area which will stop at many of the gardens on the tour. (See page 5 for full event details.) In order for viewers to get the most out of the experience, all of the garden owners will be present during

tour hours, from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. “It’s about the interaction. None of these people are hobby gardeners — it is their passion.” Tour-goers are asked to respect the gardens and homes of the presenters and refrain from smoking or bringing pets on the tour. Most of the participating gardeners have been growing for a long time and have excelled beyond amateur when it comes to growing veggies. Sanderson herself has been gardening for about two years, and is a self-proclaimed hands-on learner. “I like to try techniques out first, and if it doesn’t work I read books and try it again until it does. I’ve had so many failures that turn into successes.” This try, try again attitude is one that Sanderson hopes will rub off on tour-goers. “Get to know your garden and find out what grows seasonally and in your specific environment, and then give it a try. And if you find out its just too much work, you NELSON BECKER can always go to the farmers’ Val Sanderson (right) wants to teach the community about gardening smart, much like her friend Bonnie Baker taught her. market!” The motivation behind Sanderson pointed out that the inception of the Edible there is always the possibility Garden tour was sustain- of trading. �� ability in a post-carbon “I grow tons of basil, and � �� world, but now, Sanderson don’t grow tomatoes,” she explains, growing a garden joked, “because I don’t have �� has become it’s own reward. to!” “I’ve always eaten a fair She hopes that through �� amount of healthy food, but the tour a new group of I ate junk food, too.

The Selkirk Weavers’ Room at the Doukhobor Discovery Centre, located across from the Castlegar Airport on Heritage way, is ready for visitors, from now until September 12, Wednesday to Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors to the centre will be mesmerized as fleece is magically spun into yarn, and then woven into cloth. As part of Castlegar’s 2010 summer Art Walk, a display of “Kootenay Colours” is featured. Since the 1980’s, the Selkirk Weavers and Spinners Guild have welcomed visitors to the their room at the Discovery Centre, tying the present craft of fibre arts with the rich history of Doukhobor textiles displayed. “It is a real challenge to continue to keep this ancient craft alive in our very busy world today. Our members love doing what they do, creating cloth for things that are actually used around the home, and for wearables, as well. Showing visitors how this is done is very rewarding. “We hear wonderful stories from guests who grew up in homes where spinning and weaving were part of the daily activities. It is very moving to see the happy expression on their faces as they remember helping their Baba card wool, or weave. This enriches our experience here as well,” says Sandra Donohue, one of the Guild members.

Spinning wheels and spinning yarn have long been fascinating aspects of fairy tales, and children almost become hypnotized watching the wheel spinning around and around. The mechanics of the loom, which seem complicated, are explained in the process of weaving. Donohue states that most visitors are overwhelmed when they see the hundreds of threads on the loom and all the wooden parts. “It is very impressive to see how each part and each thread works to create a

beautiful tea towel, scarf, or fabric to sew handbags or cushions.” The Selkirk Weavers and Spinners Guild hold their meetings in their room at the Doukhobor Discovery Centre on the third Wednesday of each month from September to June. Guests are always welcome. For inquiries, call Sandra Donohue, at 250-3657084, or send a message to the SWSG e-mail address: selkirk weavers@g mail. com. - submitted

Taking care of our seniors SMART organizing goals How well a society provides for its members who are past the age of retirement, especially the truly health-challenged senior, is one standard by which that society should be judged. You’ve read variations on this theme here before. Nelson, and B.C. generally, do not rank at the bottom of the list by any means. We have much that we can be thankful for, but there is always room for improvement. Take the subject of ageism. The Vancouver Sun recently carried an item about a particular senior whose savings investments had “gone south” with the recession. It was a good piece of journalism, then the writer spoiled it near the end by referring to the seventy-five- year-old as “elderly.” I bet the rent, that the senior in question would not call himself elderly. How we see ourselves as we grow older is more a perception of what we can still accomplish than our chronological age. When my late Aunt Hilde was in her eighties, she used to help younger seniors move into her apartment

been thinkin’ about George Millar complex because they were “old, you know.” It would be a good thing if we considered the term “elderly” to be politically incorrect at all times. And what about the uneven level of health-care delivery in our province. It doesn’t just affect seniors, of course, but they are the group most affected, as travel from Nelson to other locations is required for medical services. Individuals with macular degeneration for whom Avistin is the preferred treatment, receive the drug free of charge, IF they live in the Lower Mainland, Kelowna, Kamloops or Cranbrook. For Nelsonites, or residents of Trail and Castlegar, the cost is $300 per treatment; hardly an equitable situation. I’ll continue with related information on this subject next week.

George Millar is a long-time resident of the West Kootenay. Been Thinking About is an exploration of events and organizations in the region, seen from a senior’s perspective.

We all want to be more organized; the problem is we often set vague or unreachable goals. Using SMART goals is a good skill that increases the success of completing projects and staying on task. We’re all guilty of trying to complete one task and then halfway through realize we’ve just started five or more different projects. SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timely: Specific: Being specific makes your goal more powerful. No matter what goal you set, you need to be specific; being specific provides you with details that allows you to measure your progress and achieve your goal. Measurable: When you set clear measurable standards it not only allows you to know when you’re complete, it also breaks down your large goal into smaller sub-goals. Smaller goals are less intimidating and realistic to reach. Knowing exactly what you need to get done will also aid you in delegating tasks to others. Achievable: Not setting achievable goals is the key

reason our goals never get reached, they’re just not realistic. To make our goals achievable we need to set our goals within a realistic time frame to put out that amount of energy, and find the resources needed. Relevant: A relevant goal is one that’s significant to your life and meaningful to you. We might not truly want to do the work but we may want to make someone/ourselves happier by completing the task at hand. Knowing the relevance will be the drive that gets your goal to the finish line. Timely: Without a time frame we are more likely to put our goal off until the last minute, giving us an unlikely amount of time to work towards our goal. The next time you plan on accomplishing a project, remember to set SMART goals.

Nelson earns top place in National Commuter Challenge The National Commuter Challenge results have been tallied and Nelson has come in as number one for participation for its size category in all of Canada and second place in BC overall. The West Kootenay EcoSociety also organized challenges in the Kootenay Region and results were impressive. Kaslo came in second with the help of Doug from Doug’s Bike Shop, Trail placed third, Creston placed fifth and

Castlegar placed sixth. “We applaud your dedication to making Nelson and other West Kootenay towns a place with cleaner air, safer, quieter and more pedestrian friendly streets,” stated a representative from the EcoSociety in a recent press release. “All this was accomplished by leaving your car at home and using a healthier mode of transport to get to work.” Top participation from Nelson businesses came from the Hume and Best

Western Hotels with 42 participants, the RDCK with 25 participants, Kootenay Coop with 13 participants. Collectively in the region, 7,610.3 kg of greenhouse gas emissions have been reduced in our community, and 35,690.5 km in driving distance was saved by simply walking, biking, ride sharing and utilizing public transit. As a region, $4,978.5 dollars was saved in vehicle repairs and burned 245,314.9 human calories

in the process.

Business intelligence gathering to take the pulse of Nelson and area Representatives from the Nelson and Area Economic Development Partnership will be out knocking on doors of local businesses during the next few weeks. They will be conducting a Business Retention and Expansion (BRE) initiative, in order to take the pulse of the current business climate in Nelson. Business owners will be asked questions that range from sustainability and succession plans, to gaps in the local market for supplies and services, and critical issues facing employees. Nelson Mayor John Dooley notes: “The results of the business intelligence gathering will help us identify opportunities for businesses, as well as possible threats. We’ll be knocking on doors and connecting with businesses throughout the summer, so when you hear from the Economic Development Partnership, take time to speak to them. We want to see a strong regional business community and it starts with dialogue.” The face of business has changed in the ten years since the last BRE initiative was completed. Nelson has long been considered a cultural hotbed, and this creative climate has been ripe for the growth of unique and forward-thinking businesses. One goal of the new survey is to better understand the needs of new business sectors. Morgan Dehnel, who services an international clientele through his Nelson-based engineering firm D-PACE chose Nelson for a variety of reasons, not least of which is the ease of recruiting highly-trained staff. “In terms of staffing, Nelson is a real attraction. We are solicited regularly by people looking for work in the sciences, engineering, and designer fields,”

��

Dehnel said recently. “Our staff have all re-located to Nelson from elsewhere.” Judy Banfield, who operates Mountain Baby, a Baker Street business that has recently expanded with an on-line storefront, is a volunteer on the BRE Advisory Committee. “In a small town like Nelson all the businesses, and the community itself are in this together,” said Banfield. “The BRE process looks to us all as a total business community; what kind of pressures are we under, what can be done to ensure that we weather the challenges and have a vibrant business community?” According to Tom Thomson of the Chamber of Commerce, the Economic Development Partnership will be connecting with a broad cross section of the business community throughout Nelson and area. “We have a very diverse business community and everyone’s input is important,” Thomson said recently. “We will be sure to connect with storefront retail as well as food and beverage businesses, but also with home-based businesses, tech and online businesses and the manufacturing and professional services sectors as well. Our intent is to gather business information from Balfour to Bonnington.” If you would like to have your business included in the survey, please contact Shandi Miller at (250) 352-1933 ext. 102 or smiller@futures.bc.ca. An on-line version of the survey will be available as of July 21 at www.futures. bc.ca and www.nelson.ca.

The BC Centre for Disease Control is asking British Columbians who may have purchased Freybe headcheese to discard it or return it to their place of purchase as it may be associated with a salmonella outbreak. Over the past two weeks, 10 cases of a rare strain of salmonella (S. Chester) have been identified among B.C. residents. The only common food consumed by these cases was headcheese, which had been purchased from various stores throughout the province from mid- to late June. Headcheese is a deli product made from meat from the head of a pig, combined with gelatine and spices. Freybe Gourmet Foods Ltd. is voluntarily recalling this product, which is produced by a third-party manufacturer. Because the headcheese is sliced and packaged at deli counters in various stores, most consumers may not be aware of the

brand of headcheese purchased. “If you purchased headcheese from mid-June to July 13, and are uncertain if it is associated with this recall, please call the store where it was purchased to identify the brand,” explains Dr. Eleni Galanis, physician epidemiologist at the BCCDC, an agency of the Provincial Health Services Authority. Symptoms of salmonella infection may include stomach cramps, diarrhea, nausea, fever and headache. These symptoms occur six to 72 hours after eating contaminated food, and can last a few days to a week. If you have symptoms compatible with salmonella infection, call the 24-hour HealthLink BC line at 811, contact your family physician, view the BC HealthFiles on Salmonella and Food Safety atwww. bchealthguide.org/healthfiles, or visit www.bccdc.ca. - submitted

Our kids often ask us to stop at the play park ian Greenwood when we pass through. I enjoy the rugged old-fashioned structures and machines that the kids can play on and with. They remind me of the ones that were at Lakeside Park about 40 years ago when I was a kid. The merry-go-round at the Greenwood Park provides insights into angular momentum. Linear momentum is denoted with the symbol (p), and it is defined by the equation p = mv where m is the mass of an object, and v is the velocity of the object. Angular momentum is denoted by the symbol L, and is defined by the equation L = r x p = r x (mv) where r is the radius from a centre point where an object has linear momentum p. The “x” represents a crossproduct, which means that

Water meters will open our eyes to waste To the editor, I agree with your comment that the city of Nelson should have water meters as soon as possible (The Express, June 30). It seems like there is lots of water around our community, but is this true? Our body is made of approximatly 65 per cent water, therefore we can’t survive without it. Water meters make you realize how we waste water every single day. Some places in Germany have water meters in their showerrooms, so they know how much water they are using. For example, when I wash my face for one minute, 12 litres of water will be gone. If I

Tom Best, Nelson

use the shower for three minutes, 36 litres of water will be gone. If I wash my car for twenty minutes, 240 litres of water will flow down the road. Back to a decade ago, when I was in Japan, there was not too much water because of drought, so we could only use water for only six hours a day. It was at that time I realized how important water is for us. Water meters will help us to be aware of our water usage. Yoshimasa Suzuki Nelson

THE oil companies and government don’t care about anything but money. They will continue to increase the price unless we do something about it. If we stop buying they stop making money and will have no choice but to lower the price or find alternative and cheaper transportation solutions.

I am now trying to park my car and ride around town on an electric bicycle. Very fun. Basically, it amounts to a choice and isn’t really driven by the cost of fuel.

The Express Reader survey In the last week, since the Nelson Daily News closure was announced, there has been an outpouring of support for The Express from readers, advertisers, and potential advertisers. But I know that The Express must perform. When a new restaurant opens up, of course it is crowded for the first couple of months. And if the food is good and they live up to their promises, the restaurant will be successful. If they can’t produce a good product, they won’t survive. The Express Newspaper is in a similar situation. We are being given an opportunity to perform. The Express is 22 years

old and I want it to be here for a very long time. On page 16 you will find a reader survey. Its purpose is to gather the opinions and information from our readers, and in the spirit of truthfulness, the responses will remain anonymous. I want The Express to be successful because it serves the community, and it will better serve the community if the readers tell us what we can do to improve. You can answer the survey in the paper, but it also available online at www.surveymonkey. com/s/W32MVTD. Please take a minute to fill it out. Your opinion is important.

Big mountains, small festival, floating stage: That’s the Kaslo Jazz Etc. Festival motto. The festival, celebrating its 19th year, always boasts a stellar lineup of greats, in the jazz world and beyond.

Kaslo Jazz Etc. Festival Friday to Sunday, July 30-August 1 at the Kaslo waterfront

JULIA GILLMOR The Kaslo Jazz Festival, a Kootenay institution is turning 19. Its floating stage has become a signature feature along with impressive acts. Executive Director, Jim Holland has been organizing it since its conception. “Jazz is roots music actually. That’s something that is a purely North American phenomenon and Canada has a strong link to that heritage,” says Holland. “Jazz is one of the genres that enters all kinds of other music as well. Even in country music you’ll see a sax player step out and play a solo. That is jazz.” Holland doesn’t claim to be an aficionado but he was deeply moved when attending a jazz festival in his home state of Texas.

The interaction between the audience and musicians and the sensibility around a higher order of listening was something he’d never witnessed before. “It wasn’t just going there, drink a beer, and dance your brains out. It was go there, sit down, examine the music and pay attention, and through that attention allow the music to speak to you in your individual way.” It was a turning point. “I mean, I grew up in the rock ‘n roll days and party hardy and all that stuff.” The Kaslo festival is meant to attract families and provides opportunities to engage children of all ages. Jugglers, crafts and hula-hoop workshops provide a focus for all. And then there’s the beach. “From a kids perspective you can give them two or three days in a row and they’ll never get tired. We just dump a couple of big piles of sand along the water and we stick a bunch of umbrellas in it and that’s it!”

The concept of a floating stage came in an ‘ah-ha’ moment. “We were building a stage on the beach down here and it was three days of work to build it and three days of work to take it down and it was too much,” Holland explains. After rescuing floating docks that had drifted into the bay and become a safety hazard, he and some friends got the idea of bolting a bunch of them together. “It gave us more room in the park, which was really what was needed. So again necessity was the mother of invention.” The festival is ultimately about the music and with a challenging budget, organizers have had to come up with fresh acts that bring the crowds but don’t break the bank. The festival has gotten away from big headliner marquis acts and digs deeper to find lower profile names that offer the same or better quality of music. “Think of those times when you’ve gone to a concert and

you’ve paid your fee and you happen to bump into an lesser known act that is of outstanding caliber and in that show you have a transformational experience. That’s really what got me going on this. It was a way to get outdoors and enjoy music in a way that transcended to actual experience that causes you to sit back and have a strong emotional response to what you’re participating in with the artist.” This year’s lineup includes names such as Monkey Junk as well as The Bad Plus. Their eclectic sound comes with strong crowd pleasing baselines, exploring everything from Smoke on the Water to Bach and Strauss. Spyro Gyro has recently picked up a player from Trinidad, and Holland expects it to add real flavour to the music. Well known songstress Ruthie Foster will offer a workshop at the United Church on Friday at 2 p.m. on a first-come-first-served basis. “I

can pretty much tell ya there will be some teary cheeks coming outta that one. She is a gospel singer extraordinaire and when you put her in the acoustics of the old 1890s church it’s going to be spectacular.” Local favorites like the Cheryl Hodge Band and Jude Davidson’s Circo de Theatro are just a few of the Kootenay based acts that will round out the schedule. Top it all off with jams going on a local bars and eateries and master classes for musicians, and crowds are in for a full weekend. “If I were speaking to the general public I would say that the Kaslo Jazzfest is one of the marquis events of the area and hopefully people realize how important it is to support it, either by buying a ticket themselves or making sure family and friends that visit are aware of it.” For ticket information and for the full schedule of events, go to www.kaslojazzfest.com.

Fred Eaglesmith Thursday, July 22 at SpiritBar, 422 Vernon St.

Fred Eaglesmith has followed his muse and the music to wherever it takes him since he left the family farm at age 15 to pursue the hitchhiking and freighthopping trail of a traveling troubadour. As a result he has forged one of the most distinguished and unique independent careers in popular music from the grassroots upwards, marked by a consistent string of critical superlatives for his work. 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. “I still want to be vibrant and I still want to be on fire and I still have passion,” he asserts. “I don’t ever wanna stay in the ghetto.”

Though they have yet to meet, DJ Olive brings with him the experience of the New York community that helped set Rabnett 5 on their path, starting with Dave Douglas in 2002 thru to the 2007 collaboration with Scotty Hard. The band is very excited to have new Nelson-ite DJ Olive on the gig.

Summer Exhibitions at the Kootenay Gallery

Creston Valley Music Fest

Opening reception Friday, July 30, 7 p.m. at the Kootenay Gallery, 120 Heritage Way, Castegar

Thursday to Saturday, July 22-24 at 4020 Hwy 3, Mountain Park Resort, Creston

The next exhibitions opening at the Kootenay Gallery on Friday, July 30 include the works of Royden Josephson of Ashcroft and Asha Robertson from Kimberley. Robertson’s exhibition is entitled “Break Land”. Working with mixed media, her paintings are executed using acrylic, graphite, ink and encaustic. Her subtle images incorporate the use of space, light and structure to challenge the viewer to consider the impact of humans on the landscape and nature’s ability to adapt and reclaim. Josephson’s work in his exhibition “Ride Off Any Horizon”, is also influenced by natural structures yet he interprets these using bold colours and abstract, almost architectural images.

He has chosen this style because he, too, wishes to demand a higher level of engagement from the viewer and a more dynamic imagination from the artist. “For both the viewer and the artist, the direction of imagination can ride of any horizon,” he said. The opening reception for this exhibition will be held on Friday, July 30 at 7 p.m. There is no admission and both artists will be in attendance. The exhibition will run from July 30 to September 12 at the Kootenay Gallery located across from the Castlegar Airport adjacent to the Doukhobor Discovery Center. The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday 12 noon-4 p.m.

Scopes by Stenya July 21 - July 27 Aries Mar 21 - Apr 19

Wait before making any important decisions this week. You may be missing some important information. Make sure you thoroughly research all the facts and remain openminded.

Taurus Apr 20 - May 20

You may find that things are changing rapidly for you now. While you may be uncomfortable at the speed of events everything is happening for a good purpose.

Gemini May 21 - July 21

Family matters this week can become your main focus. Making major decisions regarding your relationships and money will be at the forefront of conversation. Keep an active dialogue going. It is important that you know where everyone else is at while at the same time understanding your own motivations.

Cancer July 21 - Jul 22

Balancing work and play can be your juggling act this week. Fitting in your rest and relaxation will be important so you can avoid stressing yourself out. Think carefully before committing to social events or working more hours.

Leo Jul 23 - Aug 22

Try thinking about each relationship as a seed. Nurture it with love, respect, and communication to create the strong roots and foundation of your relationship seed. Avoid defining it and you can be blown away by the beautiful blossoms that can emerge.

Scorpio Oct 24 - Nov 21

Believing that your dreams can come true is the first step to making them a reality. How to get there is not as important as believing it is possible. Even if it seems like there are insurmountable challenges right now trust that there is a way.
