In keeping with Health Canada’s Guidelines for Canadian Recreational Water Quality (GCRWQ) and Interior Health Authority Beach Water Quality Notification Campaign, the RDCK has posted signage at Taghum

Beach to notify the public of poor beach water quality. Warning signs will remain posted until sample results are once again within acceptable limits. The RDCK and Interior Health recommend that the public refrain from swimming at Taghum Beach until the beach water quality improves.

Beach Water Quality is poor and swimming is not recommended due to bacterial counts that exceed Health Canada guidelines. The Regional District collects water samples on a weekly basis at Taghum Beach. Beach water is analyzed for fecal coliform bacteria. Weekly monitoring protects swimmers

Seniors losing a valuable service at the NDCC A specific instance of disrespect for seniors and the physically challenged was the focus of a letter from Sherlin Hendrick to Bernie Van Hooft, manager of Recreation at the Nelson and District Community Centre, and also sent a copy to the Express. Her comments are included here. The facts she provides have not been verified by the NDCC. At issue is the downgrading of the Deep Water Running Class for nonweight bearing aerobic exercises, in the 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. time slot. It is a safe, assis��

tive exercise for those rehabilitating from surgery, as well as for seniors and others with chronic conditions such as arthritis and obesity. “For many of those who use the deep water running program, it is the only exercise they are able to safely do at the NDCC,” Hendrick states. But the program has been cut back from five to three days per week, and the instructor has been eliminated. Now participants help instruct each other. Recently the available space was reduced from three lanes

been thinkin’ about George Millar

the deep water program will never use these areas. And many are on fixed incomes. In Hendrick’s opinion, this policy shows “a general lack of support for seniors and the disabled.” “The group has dwindled ... since people have chosen to leave rather than be treated without respect. But ... many people would ... come ... specifically for rehabilitation purposes.... What a missed opportunity on the part of the NDCC.” We hope to have a response from the NDCC next week.

to one. Ten people crowded into one lane is a reality. Passes just for pool use are now a thing of the past. A full facility membership is now required, at a substantial increase in cost. It includes the use of the gym, the weight room and skating rink. The majority of those in George Millar is a long-time resident of the West Kootenay.

Torque at the park When our two children play on the teeter-totter, I am reminded of the equation for torque. A teeter totter can be viewed as having two radial arms projecting from a common fulcrum, pivot point, or centre of rotation. Initially our children sit in the nominal teeter totter seats, at equal radii from the fulcrum (r = 5.1 feet). Note that our youngest child has weight W = 65 pounds and the oldest has weight 1.5 times as much 1.5W = 97.5 pounds. The equation for Torque = T = r x F = r x W, where r is radius, F is force, and W is weight. In the initial case, our youngest child sitting on the teeter totter will have a Torque = (5.1 feet) x (65 pounds) = 331.5 footpounds, and our oldest child sitting on the opposite side of the teeter totter will have a Torque = (5.1 feet) x (97.5 pounds) = 497.25 foot-pounds. Since the heaviest child has the greatest Torque, the teeter totter rotates so that our oldest child proceeds to the ground, and the youngest child proceeds up in the air. They are more or less stuck in this position. Of course, children inherently figure out very quickly that the oldest (and

dr. science Morgan Dehnel heaviest) child must shorten up her distance from the fulcrum or radius, so that her radius is a factor of 1.5 times less than that of her lighter sister, so that their Torque`s match up. Thus, our older daughter moved to a radius of (5.1 feet) ÷ 1.5 = 3.4 feet from the fulcrum, and our youngest daughter stayed at 5.1 feet from the fulcrum. In this case our younger daughter maintained her Torque at 331.5 foot-pounds, and our older daughter changed her Torque to (3.4 feet) x (97.5 pounds) = 331.5 footpounds so that she had exactly the same Torque as her younger sister. Now they were able to balance each other nicely on the teeter totter, and this enabled them to teeter and totter back and forth with very little exertion. The children could figure this out through their playful experimentation much faster than their father could with pencil, paper, and calculator!

Selkirk student hits perfect note

��

Selkirk College Contemporary Music and Technology 2010 alumna Nicole Byblow was selected among 12 other music students across Canada for the MusiCounts Fred Sherratt Award. Thousands of individuals were nominated for the award that honours the achievements of recent graduates from post-secondary music programs in Canada. As an award winner, Byblow was treated to a 2-day trip to Toronto, an educational tour of the MuchMusic and CHUM radio studios and a cash prize of $3,500. Byblow plans to use the money to help fund several upcoming projects that will help build her music career when she moves to Toronto in September. “I have a friend that is putting on several shows this fall in New York, so I plan on using most of the money to coordinate that

so I can be a part of them,” said Byblow, who describes her music as an indie-pop sound. “I also would like to use it to help promote my new album.” Byblow’s second EP, Nicole Byblow Plays All the White Keys, is scheduled to be released in September, 2010. Her first EP, Unabashed, was released in 2007. She has performed at the Winnipeg Folk Festival, Dauphin Countryfest and at the Red River Exhibition. It was named after Canadian broadcasting pioneer Fred Sherratt, who was instrumental in building CHUM limited (acquired by CTVglobemedia Inc. in 2007) into one of Canada’s leading media companies.

opinion&editorial Street Talk: Do you think the government should impose a sin tax on junk food?

A crying child Dear Editor, In the “Fish Heads and Flowers” of July 21, we are reading about the “person(s) that allows their child to cry/scream incessantly morning, noon, and night, 24/7, seemingly without consideration to their neighbours...” The author suggests that if they need help, there are services available. I am sure that help is needed. Maybe, the child is suffering of a condition that can be alleviated. Maybe the parent(s) or caregivers need a few hours now and then of respite from the incessant screaming. I am sure they are hearing it. I can well imagine their desperation. There may be help. However, official

services may be difficult to find in such a situation, or may seemingly not know how to help. I would like to invite either the author and/or the caregivers to identify themselves to me personally, or to the service agency they feel might be able to help. I would also like to invite people who feel they can help to ease the suffering to identify themselves to me. I am sure that we as a community will have enough imagination to come up with a plan that can bring some help. Tobias F. Jenny Nelson tobias@soundcanheal.com

Sewage at Taghum I think that’s a great idea. People should live healthier lifestyles, and a tax on junk may help to encourage people to do so.

Christine Bartsoff, Fruitvale

Dear Editor, This is my sincere attempt to bring “reason” to a seemingly insane situation! It is my understanding that Taghum Beach was deemed unusable yesterday, because of the high fecal count in the water. I understand also that “we” just spent 6.5 million dollars or so on widening the highway so that people could move in and out of

Nelson quicker. I have lived here for 20 years and I take pride in our alternative and green perspective. I am an advocate of encouraging a higher consciousness over our planet. We have to work on overcoming all of our human calamities that are now threatening all species on this planet! I insist that we immediately shut the leaky sewage system down permanently and intelli-

gently put our money into an environmentally loving Nelson Sewer System now, before we damage anything else! Let’s truly consider our future in our community. We live here, we deserve to be heard! It is not all about making money anymore, it’s about the health of our environment. Laurie Madison Nelson

Price hike outrage at the NDCC

No, I don’t think so. We pay enough taxes already.

Jen Trowbridge, Nelson

Yes. If junk costs more, parents might keep a closer watch on what their kids are eating and encourage them to make better choices.

Gary Vrinten, Saskatoon

I am writing to express my outrage at the recent admission price increases at the NDCC. I am unhappy for a number of reasons. First, the staff at the Community Complex were not told of the rate increase and were thus put in a very difficult position when users were given the new rates. All parties, customers and staff, were blindsided on the day the new rates took effect. This strategy does not speak well of the attitude of management toward employees or the public. Second, there was no warning to the public of these increases. And they took effect on the same day as the HST, of which the public had plenty of notice. I note that the NDCC Spring and Summer 2010 Leisure Guide lists admission rates. Nowhere that is visible to me does it say rates may change without notice. Surely signs could have been put on the door of the facility to warn users of rate changes, or an ad in any of our newspapers, or a free announcement on the radio. Third, the new admission fees give entry to the whole facility. Did anyone take a census and learn what percentage of users are interested in using the whole facility? This is a new pricing structure that looks like a money grab. It is a no choice admission. It is insulting and meaningless to many users who only can or wish to use a specific part of the facility. For example young children do not use the gym. People with various barriers, for whatever reason, to specific areas of the complex, are forced to pay a higher admission fee so they can use the one part of the facility they are able to use. I’m told the new admission fee also includes use of the ice rink, but the ice rink has no ice for large parts of the summer, and the ice rink is available to the public limited periods of time. I swim all over the province and I have never seen a one price for everything

whether you want it or not scheme. In every recreation centre in which I have gone swimming, I have always paid a price to swim, and if I want to use other parts of the facility, I can choose to pay the additional price. Fourth, the admission price increase is way out of line with inflation. An example: a 20 punch swim pass for a senior was approximately $50 including tax prior to July 1, and it is now almost $90 including tax. This is an exorbitant price increase on facility users. In the meantime, Mr. Van Hooft’s (the facility manager) message in the Spring Summer Leisure guide is that there has been a large increase in the use of the facility, and that there will be an initiative to develop corporate sponsorship. These are both good news, and makes me further wonder why this devious and nearly double price increase has been imposed. Folks should know that there is a 50 per cent discount through a poorly advertised program called Leisure Access Program for low income. However, all users, including beneficiaries of LAP pay almost double after July 1. I would recommend that the Leisure Access Program be more widely advertised and the threshold for eligibilty be decreased to make the program more inclusive. I would also suggest that retention of previous corporate sponsors and addition of new sponsors be of highest priority. Finally, I would recommend that there be a reinstatement of the previous composition of the recreation commission, to include an equal number of city, regional district and public (ie from the public at large) representatives, so that the management and financing of the facility is more transparent.

Charge tax on junk food We should tax junk foods like we tax cigarettes and alcohol. We have cigarette and alcohol taxes because we want to encourage healthy lifestyle and discourage the use of addictive substances. The taxes also serve to raise money. It is too bad that our government has also become addicted to those taxes. It is a conflict of interest. The tax money from those unhealthy activities should go to information that would help people get off of their addiction -whether it be cigatettes, or alcohol. Another use for the money could be in making it easier for people to get exercise. Our community complex might be able to earn enough money from a junk food tax that it need not raise rates. Information and

taxes have reduced cigarette and alcohol consumption. Years ago, if you were about to leave a party, your host might say, “Before you go, why don’t you have one more for the road”. You don’t hear that anymore. Information does work. In Canada, we have a right to care about each others’ health because we share in health care costs. In a way, our bodies belong to each other. Our health-care system is lacking funds to treat all the illnesses that are lifestyle-created. We end up increasing taxes and still health-care becomes more difficult to provide. Unhealthy foods and bad diets are a major cause of health problems. Let us do something about it. This is the time for healthy action.

Fish Heads and Flowers Flowers to my assistant manager, for being so awesome, all the time! - Happy chef Fish Heads on the certain employees whose underhanded, greed inspired activities have turned a once happy workplace into mire of conflict and mistrust. May you wallow in the mire of your own creation. - The one who walked away Flowers to the nice man who stopped on the North Shore and helped me with a flat tire. You’re great! Fish Heads to those who walk among us and feel it’s necessary to shoot at backcountry signage, scatter remote high elevation roads with beer cans and garbage, and tear up the alpine meadows with trucks and ATVs. I hope for you and your children that you respect yourselves and your own home more than you do the wilderness, although I wager you don’t. - A regular family that appreciates the outdoors Flowers to all the moms and dads who continue to love and hold their babies during “the period of purple” despite

the endless crying. Hang in there! - Supportive and smiling Fish Heads to the police that speed past my house while talking on their cell phones! It is just as dangerous for you as it is for everybody else. - Shocked Flowers to my boyfriend for finally getting a job! - Grateful girlfriend Fish Heads to people who park so close in their giant trucks that I can’t get my crying kid into her carseat. Learn to take up one spot, not three. - Frustrated momma Flowers to the sweet man who backed my car out so I could put my child in after being blocked in a parking spot by a big jerk. - Grateful to the small kindnesses of strangers Fish Heads to people that steal road signs and endanger all the travelling public. - Can’t see the sign Flowers to the youth of our city who organized a wonderful day of a entertainment whilst helping the children of our world. You are an inspiration to us all. - Nelson senior

Nobody likes pimples; they are a hassle to say the least. According to the Academy of Dermatology, acne has become the most commonly treated skin abnormality. Since the skin is the largest organ of the body it has a big job. If one’s body contains more toxins then the liver and kidney’s can handle, the skin must take the job over. I grew up with acne.

The Golden Bell

Kristi Malakoff's exhibit The Golden Bell, is a must-see. Here, Malakoff poses eside her piece titled “Swarm”, which depicts 6,000 butterflies cut from paper.

The Golden Bell Now through Sept. 12 at Touchstones Nelson, 502 Vernon St.

JULIA GILLMOR When local installation artist Kristi Malakoff takes on a task, she tends to bite of as much as she can possibly chew. The result is as striking as it is mind-boggling. Her current show, The Golden Bell, which is on display at Touchstones, is a highlight of some of her work over the last four to five years as she toured and lived internationally. “For a lot of artists their concept is about labour, in that they work specifically with the idea of labour. My work isn’t about labour. For me it’s just a natural way to work,” Malakoff enlightens. But clearly labour is

fundamental to her process and as one walks the exhibit and absorbs the mammoth nature of each piece, the labour is evident. Malakoff references many different themes in her work. Her interest in swarm theory and self-organizing communities lead to the creation of “Resting Swarm”, which depicts a colony of bees. While living in Berlin, Malakoff photographed 500 different positions of bees and reproduced them to create a total of 21,000, which she hand cut, glued to dressmaking pins, and mounted on a foam form attached to the wall. The time consuming and labourious process, like the ways the bees work, elicits the desired effect. Similarly, “Swarm” is made from 6000 butterflies photocopied onto acetate,

cut out and attached to the wall. One gets a sense of frenzy despite the beautiful colors and gentle nature of the butterflies. It’s this dichotomy Malakoff brings to her work. Her use of paper pushes boundaries and adds a sense of whimsy to the work. However, closer inspection reveals a sense of foreboding darkness in each installation. “Maibaum” initially appears as children dancing around the Maypole, a celebration Malakoff participated in as a child. “This is off of a real situation when I staged a Maypole Dance with my nephew and niece and all their friends. I made all the costumes for them and then had a May Dance party in the Okanagan. We had music and danced and

they made cupcakes and it was a big party. This piece is made from reference photos that I took that day,” Malakoff informs. With detail and precision, she has recreated the event nearly to scale, in a quasitwo dimensional depiction cut from matte black paper and honouring each embellishment from the surface design of the girls’ dresses to the hankies hanging from the boys’ back pockets. Beyond the meticulous detail, “Maibaum” is an appropriation of ritual, calling on the tradition of pagan dance. Above the children is a frantic flock of sparrows. “I see them as a little bit foreboding, kind of like vultures. They’re supposed to be, like they’re waiting for one of the children to collapse so they can pounce.

Even though they’re beautiful it should feel a bit overwhelming as well. All my work plays with the two sides of that, on one hand there are the children dancing but with this threat of these birds above.” The title piece in the show is perhaps most shockingly, made from a $100 dollar bill that has been cut and folded into a small church complete with a tower and steps up to the front door. Beside it, cut from the bill, are tiny crosses in a graveyard. The work is mounted in a glass box about six inches by six inches in size. “The Golden Bell and the Wishing Well is a Grateful Dead song about St. Sebastian. I was thinking about the religious connection and ascension and came up with this. In terms

JULIA GILLMOR

of the connection between money and religion, it also references that.” There are more strikingly complex and intricate pieces that make up the show, both in their construction and their references. Her latest piece, “The Hole Punch Tower” celebrates color through thousands and thousands of paper holes punched from paper and stacked meticulously. A column made from Fruit Loops hot glued together explores embellishments of Islamic art. Malakoff ’s work is as thoughtful and complex as it is inspiring. The Golden Bell is open at Touchstones Gallery in Nelson through to September 12. More of Malakoff ’s work can be viewed on her website www. kristimalakoff.com.

Solo (accompanied by heavy devices and an angry, nylon-string guitar) or band-backed (with Mark Raymond on bass and Aidan Campbell on percussion), Wax Mannequin has toured incessantly within Canada over the past six years, with more recent forays into Europe and Australia. Wax Mannequin now finds himself a forerunner in a strange new movement: roaming recluses and attention-seekers -solo-performers, equipped with laptops, damaged instruments and decaying minivans, making new sounds, informed by hard travel and rough living. He readies himself again for the glories and pitfalls of the trans-Canada, and the trans-Atlantic. Wax’s newest release ‘Saxon’ marks a gritty return to the psych-folk roots of this rambling iconoclast. Advance tickts are available at the Royal and Eddy Music.

Scopes by Stenya July 28 - August 3 Aries Mar 21 - Apr 19

Finding your niche can take patience and perseverance. If you are finding yourself getting impatient breathe deeply. Take time to appreciate how far you’ve come already.

Taurus Apr 20 - May 20

You may find that certain things in your life are gaining momentum and guiding your direction. While this road is not without challenges, everything so far in your life has prepared you to successfully and honestly meet these challenges head on

Gemini May 21 - July 28

Collaboration with others can bring success, especially in work related matters. Honesty and open communication can facilitate positive and successful joint ventures.

Cancer July 28 - Jul 22

By taking time to enjoy life you can find a new burst of energy. You can use this energy to bring a new sense of vitality to your life. You feel younger, stronger, and confident. People will be magnetically drawn to you.

Leo Jul 23 - Aug 22

When your expectations are not met you can be disappointed. Easy solution: don’t have any expectations! Especially when it comes to your relationships. You can avoid disappointment by focusing on shared time together.

Virgo Aug 23 - Sept 22

Balancing work, play, and love can be your main focus now. While the beauty of summer is here you want to enjoy every moment. You can as long as you are aware of how much energy you are putting into each area of your life. Remember to take time to breathe.

Easy Sudoku

Libra Sept 23 - Oct 23

Finding that special place where you feel happy and at peace is important, especially if other parts of your life are a bit chaotic right now.

Scorpio Oct 24 - Nov 21

Part of being compassionate is understanding where other people are coming from. If you are experiencing conflict in your relationships, consider the other person and their situation.

Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21

If you have been feeling like you have been living your life in a cocoon, time to emerge as the beautiful creature you are.

Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19

There can be a fine line between critical and judgmental. Being critical can help you achieve good results, but be aware of becoming too judgmental. This can burn bridges and connections that could be beneficial for everyone. Be confident in your abilities and others will see the same.

Aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 18

Increasingly you are noticing new levels are self-awareness. The next step in the process is to look at your actions. Changing your action to reflect your new self-awareness will be a major challenge but extremely rewarding for you this week. Try to remain focused.

Pisces Feb 19 - Mar 20 Proper preparation will be important but verifying the details will be the most important. When you receive advice, even from a professional, double check for yourself. This way your decision will be sound.
