from the fire department, which included placing firefighters in strategic locations around and on top of adjacent buildings, resulted in the containment of the fire to just the Redfish building; nearby buildings suffered only minor smoke and water damage. The exception was the Hume Hotel, which sustained substantial water damage in the lower levels. “The [Redfish] building is a total loss,” Grypma explained. “I have no idea what damages will be, but it is going to be well into $1 million.” Building damages were high, but there were no civilian or fire-

fighter injuries. Amazing perhaps, considering the nature of the inferno. “This was definitely a very difficult and dangerous fire to fight because of the age of the building and the smoke,” he said. I’ve never seen that kind of temperature inversion at a fire before. The smoke basically blinded the firefighters. “It was very difficult with those kind of smoke conditions.” The catacombs sustained some flooding but upgrades to the fire separations ensured the structures of adjacent buildings are not in jeopardy. see ‘NFD thanks community’ page 3

It was a case of an epic donor for an epic project. Nelson resident Bruce Ramsay recently made a donation of $50,000 to the Nelson Municipal Library Expansion Project in honour of his father and mother, William and Isabel Ramsay. “We’re just so grateful,” said Chief Librarian June Stockdale. “This is an outstanding contribution.” Stockdale stressed that community support is essential to the project, and that all donations, which usually range from $20 to $2,000, are part of its success. Phase II of the expansion project is set to begin this month, with the total cost of $165,000. The Ramsay donation will sponsor the new children’s area. To date, prior to the Ramsay gift, the community has generously contributed $51,000 towards the Expansion Project. $49,000 is still needed for furnishings and equipment to complete the project. Library circulation is up 34 per cent in the past two years, with an average of 650 people per day crossing the Library’s threshold. The Expansion Project positions the Library to accommodate current usage as well as future growth.

Keep your cool when its hot outside

It’s a gorgeous sunny day in Nelson, 30-something degrees outside and I’m managing to hold fast to a low-20s reading on my thermostat indoors without air conditioning. Here are some of the things you can do to help keep you and your home comfortable: 1. Close your blinds. This is probably the most important precaution because any window—large or small—will heat up your home as soon as direct sun hits it. Insulated curtains and retractable awnings are other options.

2. Hot and cold spots in your home can be mixed up and homogenized by running your furnace fan. 3. Turn off all unnecessary lights and electronics. They all generate heat, even TVs, laptops and charger adapters. 4. Avoid using your oven or doing laundry during the hottest time of the day and turn off the heat dry option on your dishwasher. 5. Humidity makes ambient temperature feel considerably higher than it really is so a de-humidifier is a good thing to have.

nest building Kate Bridger 6. Don’t open and close exterior doors more than necessary. An open door allows the temperature within your home to rise a couple of degrees in just minutes. 7. As soon as the outside air is cooler than the inside air, open your windows and crank up the portable fans.

8. If you are thinking about re-roofing your house, choose light coloured shingles over dark ones. 9. Plant fast growing shade trees beside your house. Finally, a couple of suggestions that will make you feel cooler: Dim the lights, soak your wrists and pulse points in cold water, stay hydrated, mist the air with peppermint oil and slow down. If none of these options are enough, go hang out in the supermarket dairy aisle.

Sting of fee structure changes at the NDCC wearing off Sherlin Hendrick’s letter to Bernie Van Hooft, the subject of last week’s column, had an emotional appeal to it that can’t be denied. This column was written on that basis. Bernie graciously gave his time for a follow-up interview. He led off by saying that, after talking with Sherlin, he had met with the Deep Running Water program group in an effort �� to have the NDCC meet their needs. One compelling reason for the restructured fee schedule is that there has been a reduced rate for pool users, while

The discussion regarding what programs to continue, to drop, or initiate is an ongoing one. The new fee structure met with resistance, but most users now recognise its legitimacy.

Bear sightings on North Shore The RDCK has posted “Bear in Area” signs at James Johnstone Regional Park, a regional park located off Johnstone Road on the North Shore of the Kootenay River. “There have been a couple of sightings of a black bear and a brown bear in the area,” said Bernie Van Hooft, Manager of Recreation for the RDCK. “He probably wont need to be caught, unless he becomes a problem in the area.” Van Hooft stressed that people need to be hyperdiligent about storing their garbage at this time of year, as bears tend to come lower and closer to homes and populated areas. The park itself has bear-proof garbage receptacles and are emptied once a week as needed; the park is not a high traffic site.

Absolutely not. Smokers have rights too. Think its a bad example for kids? Well, we sit on patios on Baker Street and drink. I don’t see much of a difference.

More to a crying child than bad parenting Dear Editor, In regards to the Fish Heads from “concerned and sleepless” in the July 21 issue of the Express: I assure you, the parent you are referring to is definitely hearing it. Have you considered that maybe there is more to it than what you seem to think is bad parenting? Maybe the child has a health problem. Maybe the mother has post-partum depression. If you are so “concerned”, maybe you should take the time to find out what is going on. A year ago, I would have thought this Fish Heads was for me. When my daughter was around eight months old, she started having violent tantrums five to seven nights a week. She would kick and scream and writhe around for anywhere from an hour and a half to five hours a night. I would hold her and rock her and sing to her while she tantrumed for hours. Every night. I took her to every person in this town that I thought could help in any way. She saw a TCM doctor and even got in to see

Publisher’s Note:

the pediatrician. We tapped every service available for help. For over six months I held my baby every night while she had violent tantrums, until we figured out that she had food sensitivities. It was certainly not my parenting that was the problem. Did I think about my neighbours? On occasion, yes, I sure did. Not as much as I thought about my poor, screaming, writhing in pain daughter. And what could I have done about it? Go live in the woods? Now my daughter is 19 months and she has regular toddler tantrums. She screams when she is mad, frustrated, or told no. She screams when she is hurt. She also screams when she is happy, excited or playing. Sometimes she just screams to hear her own voice. If you don’t want to hear the screams of children, you may want to consider rural living, or maybe a gated community somewhere with a much lower birth rate than in Nelson. Tracy Franklin Nelson

Commentary: Session Review One of the things I really enjoy about my job as your federal representative is taking part in community events. I must congratulate the many volunteers who work so hard to create opportunities that bring people together in united cause. Whenever I attend events such as the Osoyoos Volunteer Awards, Transition Nelson, the world premiere of a film about the Siniixt called Bringing Home the Bones, the Grand Forks Agricultural Society’s AGM, the re-opening ceremony of the Brilliant Bridge, it brings home to me how rich we are in community spirit. In addition to assisting people on a daily basis with immigration, EI, Canada Revenue, student loan and other issues, my staff and I work closely with local and provincial representatives on key issues. The illconceived stimulus-spending to widen the highways both in the Nelson and the Oliver/Osoyoos corridor caused much concern locally, and my efforts to try to reach an accommodation for local fruit stand owners along Hwy 97 met with some success. When Oliver was hit hard by the enormous mudslide, I again met with local constituents and carried their concerns forward to the federal government to try and solicit a fair and adequate compensation for damages to crops, farmland, businesses and residences.

Alex Atamanenko MP BC Southern Interior Despite the sideshows and shenanigans that took place in the last session of Parliament I am pleased to say that none of it affected the important and relevant work my caucus colleagues and I were able to achieve. Months after Canada’s embarrassing performance at the Copenhagen conference, our New Democrat Climate Change Accountability Act was passed by the House of Commons — setting firm targets for real action on the environment. Among other things, we passed a motion in the House of Commons demanding that any future prorogation longer than seven days be first approved by a majority of MPs. A special highlight for me was the release of the report on my “Food For Thought” tour. After two years of work and visits to 28 communities, we have provided a blue-print that may now form part of the discussion towards the development of a Canadian Food Policy. Another highlight for me was being successful in advancing my private member’s bill C-474, which deals with the economic

impact of genetically engineered seeds and crops. The bill is currently at the Committee stage, and will come back to the House of Commons for third reading and final vote in the late fall. Instead of working alongside the democratic and legitimate efforts of the United Nations to solve the myriad of crises facing all countries, we saw our Prime Minister spend over a billion dollars, mostly on a failed security strategy, to host an exclusive gathering, in downtown Toronto, of G8/G20 leaders who actually work to undermine those efforts. At the end of these provocative summits we were left with trashed storefronts, a tarnished democracy and the promise of deep cuts to our treasured social programs. In other words, we must all pay for the actions of the global financial institutes responsible for bringing the world to its knees. And despite the overwhelming evidence that free trade has had a negative influence on Canadian manufacturing, agriculture, forestry and public sectors, we are told there is no other choice but to have more of it. I invite you to visit my website regularly for information on upcoming town hall meetings, Disability tax information sessions and other events I will be hosting this fall. I hope you are managing to enjoy a relaxing summer.

Make a smoke-free Baker Smoking on Baker Street should suffer the same consequences as smoking in bars, restaurants and other public places. It should be banned. Health reports and studies have proven time and time again that secondhand smoke is a health hazard. In order to midigate our health care costs, we must constantly work to keep each other healthy. We don’t approve of smoking in other outdoor locations, such as the Lion’s spray park, so there shouldn’t be any reason why we could not do the same on Baker Street. If you were to ask our street cleaners what kind of garbage do they pick up from our busiest street, they will tell you that tobacco, tobacco wrappers and other consequences of cigarette smoking makes up the overwhelming amount of garbage. Much more so then dog gifts ever did. Baker Street is a family street and as we don’t want to expose our children to objectionable behavior. This is perhaps

This sign hangs at the Lion’s spray park, an indicator that the city supports the dissuasion of tobacco use.

another argument for ridding our most-frequented street of the bad habit. Having a non-smoking outdoor centre might also make us more of a tourist attraction — to nonsmokers anyway, who would love to shop in our stores amid a non-smoking environment. There will be those who say that car pollution on Baker Street is bad too, so why focus on cigarettes? Well in my opinion, just because there are 10 things that are bad, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to fix them one by one. We can certainly reduce the amount of pollution, both air and foot, by banning cigarette smoking on Baker Street.

Partygoers never know what to expect at Shambhala, except a great time.

Shambhala:

Our parties are farm fresh Shambhala Starts Friday, August 6 at the River Ranch, Salmo

JULIA GILLMOR The West Koots have become a hotbed of summer music festivals with world class acts, but none are so big as the show that happens just 5 km down the Salmo River Ranch Road. On Friday, August 6, Shambhala 2010 will begin its thumping, bumping rhythms that draw an audience of 10,000 dancers and festival enthusiasts. For five days and four nights the world ceases to exist outside the farm’s fence posts and people celebrate in the music, art and diversity that has become one of the worlds premium electronic music festivals. “It’s been a sellout for

the last three years and it’s shaping up to be a sellout again,” says Marv Walker, Public Relations Manager for Shambhala. “Our mission statement is, it’s all about the people on the dance floor and that hasn’t changed. That’s what it’s all about.” Five stages with five themes dot the property. The dance floors hold thousands of people. “I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag, but the Pagoda stage has something really, really new and exciting this year. It’s a secret still but I can say that it’s going to blow people’s minds,” teases Walker. With performers from around the world, the music is diverse, eclectic, original, and the line up is extensive. “Beardyman from the UK is new this year, he’s really comedic, riveting and a great beat

boxer,” enthuses Walker. Some other notable headliners new this year include Rico Tubs from Finland with his bass heavy party beats and remixes and Gaudi, London-based and Italian born, who effortlessly blends organic fusion of dub, electronica and worldbeat. Acts like Plump DJs from the UK and Elite Force are just a few more that round out a massive lineup of talent. Beyond the music are the visuals that accompany the performances. Using high tech AV equipment, it’s an integral part of the experience. “The Fractal stage has 70 staff with 25 doing visuals. We have hundreds of people doing visuals. It’s a huge component. It‘s up there with the music,” Walker explains. And with 10,000 partygoers and fire bans in effect throughout the province,

the threat of a breakout is one management takes seriously. “We have full fire crews that do drills and manage pumping stations. We’ve got full on fire patrols checking in at all the campsites and making sure there are no candles or anything like that in the tents.” For those looking for ambiance, LED candles will be on sale this year at the General Store. Raves have become synonymous with drug use and that is a major concern for Shambhala. “Let’s be clear,” says Walker, “this is an alcohol and drug free event. People caught at the gates with drugs or alcohol will have it confiscated, and if you’re caught selling within the gates it means immediate rejection from the festival grounds.” The reality is, every year some amount of contraband does get through.

As a result, organizers have implemented a harm reduction program in support with ANKORS who offer drug testing on site. “We are being very proactive in that way because there will be drugs and we want everyone to be safe. We have staff and professionals trained in harm reduction. The Sanctuary is place for anyone who is having a bad time and we have full on medical staff there.” The River Ranch is a working farm with 50 head of cattle, ducks, geese, chickens and even a few wild boar. Garbage is a problem. “We are trying to instill a pack-it-in-pack-it-out mentality. This year at 5:55 am and 5:55 pm there’s going to be announcements and everyone is going to be asked to go around and pick up five pieces of gar-

bage. “In the past it has been so littered. It’s somebody’s home and it’s a working farm. We really want to instill that in people’s minds.” Costumes and fashion rein supreme at Shambhala; the more outrageous the better. But if you don’t come with your own, there’s many designers and vendors onsite with every thing from wristbands to corsets available along with food, workshops and much more. A fashion show, hulahoop workshop and yoga on the beach are just a few of the extra events. Gates open on Wednesday with a $50 early entrance fee and starting Sunday noon the $100 ‘locals pass’ will be back in effect.

Ganga Giri wsg Adham Shaikh Wednesday, August 11 at SpiritBar, 422 Vernon St.

Australian artist Ganga Giri (gun-gah gear-ree), is world renowned for his indigenous inspired music and dynamically exuberant live shows. Didgeridoo virtuoso and percussionist, his music encapsulates the creative inspiration that Australia represents today. Ganga has built a strong global following from both his own tours in Australia, the USA, Canada, Bali, Portugal, Germany, the UK, Spain and beyond, and his many performances at major festivals such as Glastonbury, Joshua Tree and WOMAD. Ganga Giri is touring songs from his latest album Good Voodoo, featuring the single, “Byami”. The Byami sound is an upbeat electronic roots fusion that features Ganga Giri

The Done Gone String Band hails from Whitehorse.

Old Time Family Dance Wednesday, August 11, 8 p.m. at Eagles Hall, 641 Baker St. and Thursday, August 12, 8 p.m. at the Lake Lore Gallery in Slocan City

“The Done Gone String Band” are comin’ down from Whitehorse, Yukon, bringing true blue old-time music of yesteryear, playing vintage-sounding original material as well as the finest of traditional old-time songs. The Done Gone String Band are two generations of the Hamilton

family; Bob Hamilton on frailing banjo, mandolin, dobro and vocals, Sarah Hamilton on fiddle and vocals, Patrick Hamilton on frailing banjo and vocals, Anne Louise Genest on guitar and vocals and Nadine Landry on upright bass and vocals.

on vocals with Gumaroy singing in Indigenous language. The “Byami” single is edited by Andy Baldwin (Morcheeba, The Cat Empire) out of New York and also features two remixes from Denzel Park that have been exciting many dance floors. Explosive and pulsating, at times ambient and flowing, Ganga’s music and performance is a pumping percussive multi-layered experience of complex grooves and raw, deep natural sound. The live show is a full power explosion that takes the audience on a sonic journey bursting with dynamic energy that leaves them in a celebratory mood. Good Voodoo sees Ganga abandoning DJ accompaniment in favour of live instruments and diversifying the styles of dance music he incorporates into his mix – with reggae, dub and dancehall being prominent.

Ganga Giri and his famous sound will be at the SpiritBar August 11 with local legend Adham Shaikh.

Brieﬂy Dustin Bentall and Kendel Carson Thursday, August 12, 9 p.m. at The Royal, 330 Baker St.

Dustin Bentall and Kendel Carson hail from Vancouver; it seems an unlikely place to nurture such rustic troubadours. It also seemed like an unlikely country for Rick Danko, Robbie Robertson, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel or Neil Young to be from, until people took a closer look. Up here you’ll find as deep a frontier spirit and hard luck charm as any nation. Bentall’s father Barney is approaching legendary status in Canadian rock circles and has let the boy grow up to build on his own strengths. Bentall’s coun-

try, roots, and Americana songwriting ability is uniquely his own, and utilizes authentic imagery. Combining with worldclass fiddle player Kendel Carson, the two form an amazingly strong duo that reminds listeners of Gram Parsons and EmmyLou Harris circa 1971. Carson is a brilliant fiddle player, having travelled the world playing for various groups. In support of her solo career, Carson brings an element to Bentall’s songs that can only be described as transcendent. Tickets are available in advance at the Royal.

Werth has hand embroidered lines of Marlowe’s poetry into the dresses themselves. Werth’s art work reflects a high level of skill and long hours of hand felting, embroidery and beading. She has been included in many group exhibitions and received the BC Creative Achievement Award in 2008. This year she was chosen as Cultural

Wax’s thought-provoking live performances and acclaimed recordings have garnered the fervent support of the creative underclass in his home country as well as a burgeoning international reputation. Wax’s impending release Saxon (summer 2009) will mark a gritty return to the psych-folk roots of this rambling iconoclast.

Wax Mannequin w/ Almanak Friday, August 6, 9 p.m. at The Royal, 330 Baker St.

Wax Mannequin was born in the smoke and industry of Hamilton; a damaged, underdog town; a perfect breeding ground for strange, variant things.

Three writers, three books, one great night at the library

Author Readings

Thursday, August 12, 7 p.m. at the Nelson Library, 602 Stanley St.

How about a sneak peak at the three authors who are shortlisted for One Book One Kootenay? And of course, a chance to listen to them, too, which you’ll enjoy because their writing is strong and their reading powerful and entertaining. The Nelson Municipal Library will host Luanne Armstrong, Vivien Bowers and Anne DeGrace on Thursday, August 12 at 7 p.m. in the library’s lower level. Now in its second year, One Book One Kootenay is a region-wide book club designed to celebrate and discuss the work of a local writer. On Wednesday, Sept. 8, the One Book choice will be announced; an author tour of the Kootenay and Boundary area follows in October.

This year’s shortlist features three books set in our region: Luanne Armstrong’s Blue Valley (Maa Press, 2007) is a memoir about her family farm on the East Shore of Kootenay Lake; Vivien Bowers took the brave step of interviewing families after skiing deaths in the Selkirks, and wrote In the Path of an Avalanche (Greystone, 2003); and Anne DeGrace’s Treading Water (McArthur and Co., 2005) traces a fictional community based on Renata, through the construction of the Hugh Keenleyside dam in the 1960s, and consequent flooding of the village.

Rack has been dubbed “the best new blues/roots act ever seen” at the Toyota National Gympie Music Muster. Already his talents have been discovered by a host of venues and festivals up and down the east coast of Australia, where Mason Rack is a familiar face, playing to packed audiences and drawing an entourage of dedicated fans.

Greenlaw Saturday, August 14 at SpiritBar, 422 Vernon St.

Greenlaw is a live performance/electronic music duo hailing from BC. The group fuses live dub and soul with drum’n’bass infused rhythms and influences that stretch everywhere in between. The group has received high praises for their debut single ‘warrior’ on the highly touted formation records imprint. Touring has been a large part of the group’s professional life ever since.

Scopes by Stenya August 4 - 10 Aries

Your headstrong nature can come in handy this week. You will be able to keep the ball rolling and people focused on the task at hand. Your ability to see the bigger picture and determination can bring things to the next level.

Taurus

Finding a new rhythm in your life can be the main focus right now. New beginnings or rediscovering a source of strength has unleashed a flood of new opportunities for you.

Gemini Your words can carry a lot of weight, especially in the work place and at home. Use your words carefully as they are powerful and can impact people around you more than you can imagine.

Cancer

Taking matters into your own hands can be easy now. What was seemingly out of your control before is now fully under your command. You can use this new realization to bring things to the next level in your life.

Leo

What seems like coincidence now can have more meaning in the long run. Don’t worry about, just go with it. This journey you are on is meant to be filled with adventure and enjoyment.

Virgo

A turbo blast of activity may have your senses reeling this week. To keep yourself from getting too overwhelmed keep it real by staying honest with yourself. Understand your own motives.

W. Kootenays host ‘11 BC Senior Games The Mayors of Castlegar, Nelson and Trail have just announced the Executive committee for the 2011 West Kootenay BC Senior Games, which will be hosted by the three communities. Pat Metge of Castlegar has been appointed President and Keith Smyth of Trail and Bill Reid of Nelson have been appointed Vice Presidents. The Executive Committee is presently putting together a 14 person Board of Directors who will be responsible for putting the Games on from August 16–21, 2011. The three communities will be hosting 25 plus sports for Seniors 55+. It is estimated that approximately 3,000 athletes will be participating.

A&W Cruisin’ for a Cause – an MS Society Fundraiser Opportunities throughout August, culminating on Thursday, August 26 at Nelson A&W, 512 Railway St.

Proceeds from the event will fund research to end multiple sclerosis as well as services for people impacted by MS today. To learn more about MS, make a donation or to volunteer, please visit www.mssociety.ca or www. endMS.ca.

Easy Sudoku

Libra

Scorpio

Time to flush the stagnant well of emotions. If you feel like you have been holding anything back lately let it flow. This release can clear the way for new relationships, jobs, and opportunities.

Sagittarius

Sometimes your stubbornness can hold you back. Carefully analyze where you are at right now. Are you rejecting the solution to your dilemma because it’s not one of the options you have accepted for yourself?

Capricorn

Aquarius

New relationships flourish while old ones are revitalized. Make sure you are keeping yourself revitalized too. In your relationships you get out what you put in.

Pisces

Your actions speak louder than your words. Your actions can be so powerful they can move mountains. Time for talking has ended. Time to focus on doing. This can accelerate any relationship, job, or idea to the next level. What are you waiting for?

Horsin’ around at the BC Summer Games

Free Youth Pizza Parties

Your smile alone can inspire many. Sharing smiles and laughter can be the best medicine right now. Sometimes a little comic relief can do amazing things like release tension and stress out of any situation. Look for the humour in any difficult situation this week.

Time to go with the flow but avoid being swept away by the current. It is important to remain flexible and open minded right now while at the same time keeping true to your own journey.
