Through donations of food and prizes, the community has been an integral part of the success of the festival. “We couldn’t do it without the community.

On Friday, August 6, the City of Nelson concluded this year’s successful program for the management of smaller problem animals. The program, Non-Domestic Animal Control, is handled by the Nelson Urban Trappers who provide services for the humane removal of such animals as skunks and raccoons. Outside the time frame of the program, the services of the company are available for a fee. The program has run successfully for three years and is offered to residents and businesses within the city limits. It is very likely to be approved for a further five years. One important key to eliminating problem animal behavior lies in prevention. It is important to eliminate open sources of water as well as food sources outside the home such as pet or bird food and fallen fruit. Garbage containers and composters should be tightly closed. Garbage can lids can be secured with bungee cords. Winter denning is soon to become a concern. Skunks start to look for a winter home around mid-September. To avoid acquiring new neighbours, it is important to keep your yard clear of brush and lumber piles and block off areas under porches, decks and so on. Attics can attract raccoons unless sealed off. Skunks are nocturnal and have travel paths that they like to follow at set hours. Typically they pass quietly by and even aid us by helping to control such pests as slugs and rodents to name a few. If pets or chil��

dren are a concern however, passageways in and out of the yard need to be blocked. The use of mothballs as an irritant is not recommended as they are carcinogenic. Human urine is said to be a good repellent. Motion-sensitive lights are an option. Skunks are docile by nature and only spray if they feel under threat or if cornered. Before spraying a skunk gives warnings. It will fluff its fur, raise its tail, snarl or growl, stomp its feet, and appear to charge. If the warnings go unheeded, it can spray up to 15 feet. Avoid any skunks seen in daylight hours as they may carry rabies. If your cat or dog has been sprayed, first check the eyes, ears and mouth in case a visit to the vet is needed. Your pet’s coat should then be washed down. One home remedy is: 1 quart of 3 per cent hydrogen peroxide, 1/4 cup baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and 1 teaspoon liquid soap or dish detergent. Mix these ingredients and thoroughly wet the dry animal. Use a facecloth on the face being careful to avoid the eyes. Wet the fur down to the skin and leave on for at least five minutes. Then rinse the animal thoroughly with water and dry with a fresh towel. The peroxide may cause the animal’s fur to lighten. In a pinch, carbonated pop is an effective alternative to the peroxide mix. Tomato juice only masks the odour. Keep your pet in an enclosed area such as a roomy carrier or a utility room overnight as they are likely to attempt to rub off any odour on surfaces in the home.

In the Wednesday, August 11 issue of the Express, in the special section on the Homelessness Report, we incorrectly stated that the Nelson Food Cupboard does not receive any government funding. In fact, The Nelson Food Cupboard Society receives grant funding from the Government of British Columbia, which covers some of its overhead costs. Also, the fact that stated “21 per cent of BC’s children are homeless” should have read “21 per cent of BC’s homeless are children.”

marker DNA sections from each bear’s sample. This simple technique of electrical separation takes only a few minutes to identify differences of a single base pair, or about 1 3-millionth of a millimetre. In the case we have been discussing, the sequencer machine will measure and record how many base pairs are in each of the eight marker sections of DNA. Each bear will have a unique combination of eight marker DNA section lengths, and on this basis the bears can be identified. WGI must be very careful, and very thorough with these measurements. Great care is taken to ensure that DNA from all the bear hair samples are properly labelled, and not mixed up. For me, WGI is a very interesting company that is bringing in significant revenue from outside our region. Pretty Cool!

Business Brieﬂy Positive Apparel settles into new location Sad about the WIN Store closing? Well, cheer up because Positive Apparel Thrift Store has moved in. On Monday, July 5, Positive Apparel opened its doors at their new location at 721 Front St. This was a big move for the little Victoria St. store, whose owners have been volunteering both their time and money for the last 16 months. Their main goal from the beginning has been to provide the community with great deals on clothing and knick knacks, provide living wages to its staff and to help local animal charities in our community. Over the last 16 months Positive Apparel, formerly Pawsitive Apparel, was able to donate to both the Second Chance Animal Shelter and the BC SPCA. For the next six months Positive Apparel will partner with the BC SPCA to help animals in our community. Positive Apparel’s contribution will sponsor the care of one animal per month. Sponsoring can include spaying or neutering, vaccinations, tattooing, food and general care while an animal is in the adoption center. In late September, Positive Apparel and the SPCA will be holding a BBQ fundraiser along with the traditional season changeover bag sale.

Effective immediately the allowable annual cut for the Kootenay Lake timber supply area will be 640,000 cubic metres, which is about six per cent lower than the previous cut, chief forester Jim Snetsinger announced last week. “One of the reasons for this slight decrease in the cut is that the timber-harvesting land base for the Kootenay Lake TSA is now smaller due to new community forest and woodlot agreements in the area,” said Snetsinger. “My determination also accounts for full implementation of government’s mountain caribou recovery strategy.” The chief forester’s determination is an independent professional judgment based

on information ranging from technical forestry reports, First Nations input and public input to the government’s social and economic goals. The timber supply review considers environmental factors such as biodiversity, which includes oldgrowth forests, water resources, and scenic values - in addition to social and economic issues. Copies of the chief forester’s allowable annual cut determination are available on the Ministry of Forests and Range website at http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hts/ or from the Kootenay Lake Forest Centre office in Nelson or the Southern Interior Forest Region office in Kamloops. - ubmitted by the MoFR

Street Talk: Is Nelson a bike-friendly town?

opinion&editorial

August 18, 2010

Nelson needs a campsite for summer visitors Dear Editor, Nelson needs a bigger campsite and RV park. The one on High Street is nice, but is just not big enough and is not in the best location. This is particularly true in the two weeks around Shambhala when many people show up in town and have nowhere to go. They end up being chased off the beaches and other areas that they find, but there is no alternative. Perhaps for this time a temporary site could be set up with basic amenities. Even

if it was free of charge it would be worth it for residents, beachgoers and police, and would save the city money in police time. An ideal location for a permanent site would be on the waterfront, like it is in Kaslo. The far end of the KFP land would be good. I would like our visitors to feel welcome, and our citizens not feel threatened or harassed. Anthony Hill Nelson

Nelson doesn’t need more Baker Street bans

I don’t think Nelson is a bike-friendly city, but I also don’t think it’s a pedestrian city either. You really take your chances crossing at some of these corners.

Darlene Booth, Nelson

Sure - it seems like a pretty cool town with an eco-friendly consciousness.

Carmen Mann, Nelson

Dear Publisher: Re: Smoking Ban on Baker Street Publisher’s Opinion August 4, 2010 After reading the Publisher’s Opinion piece of August 4, 2010, I see that the rampant busybodyism for which Nelson is famous has found a new champion. Before you stir up any more trouble - where none existed before - you need to remember this: for many people in this community, the limited parking, limited selection and high prices already make

the Question:

What’s your all-time favourite movie?

MY favorite movie of all time would have to be Roxanne. This film represents all that is magical about Nelson (though much has changed since 87). I remember watching Steve wave at us from a window on Baker Street and every time I watch this film, I fondly remember how exciting it was for this movie to be filmed in Nelson. S H AW S H A N K Redemption - the idea that during a time so unfair, brutal, and negative, there can still be hope, joy and friendship. BRAZIL: Humor, pathos, fantasy... It’s got everything! PULP Fiction because it is so crazy.

Yeah, its bike friendly, but not friendly to any other alternative modes of transportation. You can ride a bike on Baker, but not a skateboard.

Torey Gollan, Nelson

MY favorite movie of all time is Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. It is my favourite because it has Paul Rubens, who is a genius and also is directed by Tim Burton. It is just a great movie. Pee Wee loses his bike and then becomes a superstar! Can you go wrong? And we got the oh so wonderful phrase, “I know you are but what am I?” THE Colour Purple is my favourite movie. FAVORITE movie, The Big Lebowski. Why do I like it? Dude!

I just bought my bike two days ago, but I haven’t had any problems so far.

Josh Blais, Nelson

shopping on Baker Street a less than pleasing experience. I am not a smoker, but if smoking is banned on Baker Street, I will stop shopping there altogether on principle. I would not be surprised if the smokers in the community did the same, feeling more welcome spending their money in the less self righteous shops of Castlegar, Trail, Kelowna or Spokane. Bruce Hepburn Balfour

THE Dark Crystal. Amazing puppetry by Jim Henson with a wonderfully spiritual and mystical story. This movie is amazing for all ages! C ASABL ANC A. Classic film noir with mystery, adventure, romance, intrigue, and great acting (Bogart, Bergman, Rains, Henreid, Greenstreet). Low tech, no color, no gratuitous sex, no graphic violence. THE Curious Case of Benjamin Button. It’s my favourite because it captures such depth of love and time. BR ID GE S of Madison County; hot, wonderful sparks of passion and love when it was so unexpected. FR IED Green Tomatoes. It expressed the importance on helping one another and the relationships between people. It is a human spirit movie. THE Lord of the Rings trilogy because it portrays life decisions about good and evil to be simple. The reality is much more difficult. THE Labyrinth, because it was the most incredible, fanciful movie as a kid, and who doesn’t love David Bowie and The Muppets?

ON the Waterfront (with Marlon Brando and Karl Malden). It shows how some labour unions are crooked and why we need good unions. It is a very tense and gritty movie with excellent acting and a superb plot. THE Good, the Bad and the Ugly. If you need to ask, you wouldn’t understand. CASABLANCA. It has everything including action, romance, great music, and old fashioned patriotism. GROUNDHOG Day, with Bill Murray. Beneath the humour and clever story is an ingenious tale of the angst, pleasure, dilemma, improbability, miracle, hope and despair of any human life. MAMA Mia. I just love it. I love Abba. I went out and bought the movie, and I don’t buy movies. THE Never Ending Story, because exploits our fear of the Nothing’ TO Kill Mockingbird.

L AWRENCE of Arabia. It is such an historical epic tale.

Publisher’s Note:

Clean air for all Thirty years ago, one of the economic bases of this community was Kootenay Forest Products, located around what is now the John’s Walk area. As part of their operation, they had a bee-hive burner to get rid of the waste. This burner polluted our air and caused breathing problems. The polluting burner is long gone, but there are more steps we can take toward a cleaner and more breathable environment. There are things our city government can do, there are things that private businesses can do and there are things each of us can do. We all have a high level of concern for the air we breathe. This is an issue that does not have many, if any, opposing ideals. We all win when we work for a cleaner environment. The City of Nelson and the surrounding areas could be more bicyclefriendly. Reducing our use of the internal combustion engine will reduce the amount of pollution in our community, and encouraging people to ride bicycles will also increase our level of fitness. The city does have des-

ignated bicycle routes, but they are not well marked or publicized. When the city repaints the road markers they could add some bike signage to make it more clear for bikers and drivers. We could designate some actual bike paths through the city, one route that travels east to west and another north to south. A bike path is lanemarked and is different than a bicycle route. We have many electric bicycles in Nelson now; we will have more. We have some places as designated parking for motorcycles, so we could create some additional designated parking for bicycles and electric bicycles. A biker can chain a bicycle to parking meters, but that means the bikes take up sidewalk space. In the interest of full disclosure, I should say that I don’t use my bike as much as I want. I talk a good talk, but I need to bike the bike and walk the walk. Being a good example is the best teacher, and I have to put my foot to my pedal if I want others to do the same. Wednesday, September 22 is international carfree day, so get out your bikes!

A story about high school...

... without the cheezy ending Gus Fowler, Dave Hudgens, Danny Schell, Cooper McGinnis and Rosie Metclafe are ready to go back to school for the performance of Victoria MArtin: Math Team Queen at the TNT Playhouse.

NELSON BECKER

One girl and four guys bring laughter to the TNT Playhouse Victoria Martin: Math Team Queen Opens Thursday, August 19, 8 p.m. at the TNT Playhouse, corner of Ward and Carbonate Sts.

STEPHANIE TAYLOR School is still out for summer vacation, but the cast and crew of Victoria Martin: Math Team Queen are knee-deep in high school life at the TNT Playhouse. Director Laura Metcalfe, a student herself at the University of Alberta where she is working towards her BFA in acting, said she chose the play because of its ability to showcase high school issues, without all of the over-the-top cheese seen in most teenage productions. "I graduated in '08, and I spent a lot of time doing plays for and with young people, and I find that there is this thing that happens in what I call high school issues plays, where they can get quite stereotypi-

cal," she says. "I didn't think about Victoria Martin right away. When I was trying to choose a production this year, I read tons of plays, and then I remembered seeing this one at the Northern Lights Theatre in Edmonton, and this light bulb went off." Victoria is no episode of Full House, where the problem is presented and the answer delivered amidst touching Musak after a heart-warming half hour. "Life is obviously much more complicated than that." Instead, Victoria Martin addresses the fact that problems arise and that life is hard, but also that things can get better and people can change. Without, of course, being cheesy. "Which is hard to do!" Metcalfe laughs. Victoria is Metcalfe's first crack at solo directing. She has co-directed and co-produced some other works at the Playhouse, but was always splitting her time between the stage and behind the scenes, which she

says made it difficult to focus on each of her tasks. Wearing only one hat this time, she says it has been much easier to bring her vision to life on the stage. "This year it has been so neat - I have a vision of what I want it to be and I can do it. The cast I am working with is so great, and we're just having an awesome time." One member of her cast is Rosie Metcalfe, her little sister. There is no room for sibling rivalry on stage, explains the older Metcalfe. "It would be difficult if she wasn't so good! If there was more criticism to give I would, but she is just so good." Other cast members include Gus Fowler and Dave Hudgens, both of whom have just wrapped up last month's production of A Servant of Two Masters. They are joined by Danny Schell and Cooper McGinnis. "They are all great actors," says TNT Artistic Director, Richard Rowberry. "They haven't all performed at the Playhouse

before, but they are all seasoned vets, and I've been having a great time watching Victoria Martin come together from the sidelines." Rowberry is watching from the wings because of TNT's long tradition of handing over the reigns to an up-and-comer for the second production of the year. "Laura is really showing what she's learning at school, and its been great watching them struggle and figure things out to get this play put together," he jokes. Metcalfe, overrun with youth and exuberance herself, says that the performance can be enjoyed by people of all ages, because "it has an awesome mix of being totally funny and totally heart-warming." Victoria Martin: Math Team Queen, by Kathryn Walat opens this Thursday, August 19 and runs two weekends, ending Saturday, August 28. Advance tickets are available at Eddy Music and Reo’s Video.

Rascalz wsg Heatwave and Lamar Ashe Thursday, August 19 at Finley’s, 705 Vernon St.

Rascalz broke ground in Urban music in 1998 when they publicly refused their Juno Award (Best Rap Recording for Cash Crop), in protest to the Juno award system, which had not yet acknowledged the Urban music categories in their televised broadcasts. The protest was heard loud and clear - the following year, Rascalz performed ‘Northern Touch’ live on the televised broadcast of the Juno awards. They won the 1999 Juno Award that year for Best Rap Recording, ‘Northern Touch’.

Spaceport Union Saturday, August 21, 8 p.m. at the Cocoa-Nut Lounge, 116 Vernon St.

Formed in the far reaches of the universe by the fusion of powerful West Coast talent, a formidable pulse of pure energy is set to make contact at the speed of light and transport you to astral dimensions of avant-garde, on waves of sound that appeal to even the most discerning of audiophiles. They will whisk you away on a compelling cosmic voyage with their eclectic amalgamation of progressive art rock. Let yourself defy gravity as you are drawn into celestial planes diffused with experimental instrumentation and novel sound ideas, very much in the trail of past greats such as the Alan Parsons Project, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. Spaceport Union is a brilliant constellation of

diverse talents including award-winning goth and art-rocker Caroline Spence, on guitars, keys and vocals. Multi-instrumentalist Adam Basterfield takes on lead guitar, keys and vocals. Spaceport Union is the new project from this super talented duo, in collaboration with amazing, ‘in the pocket’ drummer, Taylor Charles and seriously smooth bassist Michael Ross, who also adds lush vocals to the mix. Along with the sheer energy and dynamic force of their live performance, the band effortlessly transcend the mainstream and connect listeners to the realm of the timeless. Spence’s evocative and powerfully resonant vocals meld seamlessly with the solid grooves laid down

by Charles and Ross. Put together with Basterfield’s virtuoso guitar and expansive vocal stylings, the result is a satisfying yet unique harmony of auditory sensations reminiscent of Pink Floyd, Phish, Explosions in the Sky, Radiohead and My Morning Jacket. Contemplative, heartfelt, thought-provoking lyrics dance around the dynamic ebb and flow of the diverse instrumentation, twisting and weaving through the melodic trajectory, breaking through an atmospheric wall of sound that builds to an exhilarating explosion, then lets you drift back into a gentle orbit. Be ready to be transported and transfixed by the transcendent vibes of Spaceport Union. Visit www.spaceportunion.com.

Scopes by Stenya August 18 - 24 Aries

Be especially aware this week of making the same mistake twice. You may notice patterns in your life that no longer serve you for the better.

Taurus

You may be surprised this week at an unexpected reaction. Someone or something may respond negatively to you. If this happens, instead of blaming the other person, look to your own actions.

Gemini

If you get the feeling of déjà vu this week, it may be because you have experienced this before. You are becoming more conscious and aware of the subtle habits that are part of your life.

Cancer

If a friend extends an invite to an event you would not normally attend, reconsider and try it out. You may find it not only fun, but refreshing. Trying anything out of your normal character will have positive results.

Leo

Review your successes and failures this week. In this lies the key to what makes you succeed and fail. If you are aware of what works for you and what doesn’t, you can set yourself up for success.

Virgo

It is important to recognize where you are coming from to know where you are going. If you do not want to repeat the same mistakes of your past then you need to go back and honestly evaluate why you made them in the first place.

Libra

Nelson Library readings truly one great night DAVID BOVA When you get the opportunity to hear a writer read from their work, you shouldn’t pass it up. Besides blowing a little life into those fixed words on the page, sometimes you get little anecdotes about the writing, research, or the writers themselves. So it was good to see that all the seats were full at the Three Writers, Three books, One Great Night Author reading that took place Thursday, August 12 at the Nelson Library. Luanne Armstrong read a continuous excerpt from her new book Blue Valley: An Ecological Memoir. Her seamless narration took the listener on a journey. She employed perceptions and descriptions of the physical landscape that make up some of the West Kootenay valleys. She asked questions about how people see and use the land, from the harsh realities of resource extraction to the perspective of land as your mother and father. Next, Vivian Bowers stepped up and read from her book In the Path of an Avalanche: A true Story. She mixed up her read-

Easy Sudoku

You may have already begun to notice areas in your life that could use improvement. Whether it be your personal relationships, business ventures, or family matters, you have the power to make the difference

Scorpio

Taking small small steps to change is the best way to make a major improvement in your life. Instead of trying to do everything all at once and getting frustrated at the lack of progress, feel happy with taking micro steps each day.

Sagittarius

Being forthcoming with your feelings can help you immensely this week. It can also save time and heartache. Putting your feelings out there will help others know where you are at and decide to meet you half way or not. Avoid assuming things of others and be honest with your feelings.

Capricorn

You may be looking for love in all the right places and not finding it. To avoid being frustrated, take time to love and nurture yourself. If you are too busy trying to be everywhere at once you may be missing out on time just for you.

Aquarius

If you believe you can do it all, then you will succeed. You will have to meet people half way and understand where other people are coming from.

Pisces

You may recognize a hidden talent within yourself. You may already be using this talent and not even realize yet. What you take for granted in yourself others see as an amazing gift. You have the power and potential to share this gift to inspire others around you.

Hard Sudoku

ings: from the technical and molecular processes of avalanches, to what are the cons about writing a book about a tragedy in a small community that lost four of its own, to the media circus that ensued after the tragic loss on the Kokanee Glacier back in 1998. Anne Degrace closed with a reading from her novel: Treading Water. The fictional town of Bear Creek is captured in twelve short stories. The one she chose to read aloud was about the burning of houses in a valley that will be flooded by a hydro electric dam project. Later. the audience learned that her book of short stories is based on the dismantling and burning of Renatta B.C. a small town, north of Castlegar, that suffered the same fate. You can read these books at the local library or you can purchase them at Otter Books. Check the website www. obok.ca on Wednesday, September 8 to see who wins the One Book One Kootenay title or to discuss themes in any of these books. Get out there and support some of your homegrown writers!

PETER SCHRAMM • ARGENTA: A COMMUNITY • RUNNING TIME: 3 MIN. A trailer of an eventual 1 hour documentary on Argenta and its heritage, focusing on the 1950’s - 1980’s, when the counter-culture flourished, and its effect on the present.

He has an affinity for independent film, with both an interest in world cinema and local projects. His current film in production, Argenta: A Community, is his first major project as director and producer.

JESS GATES W/ AQUILA BROWN & LOGAN CARLSTROM • BEAR SPRING COMMUNITY GARDEN DOCUMENTARY TRAILER • RUNNING TIME: 2.5 MIN.

A short documentary on the craftsmanship and art of bow making through the eyes of one bowyer, Clark Dennill. Set in the rural area of Nakusp, BC, Clark peacefully works away in his shop on Box Mountain. A master bowmaker for 20 years, Clark shoots and works on his bows everyday and believes, “It is a tradition that should be held onto.” I recently graduated from the Selkirk College Independent Film program, here in Nelson. This was my first documentary film, aside from some live broadcast work. This short has piqued my interest in pursuing more documentary subjects.

The aim of the film is to follow a group of community gardeners over one gardening year. This film will be a resource for other groups wishing to start their own community gardens. We hope that the finished film will encourage more people, especially youths, to get involved with gardening. Jessica Gates is a freelance video producer based out of Nelson, BC. She has a passion for documentary story telling and meeting fascinating people. In 2009 she graduated from the Selkirk College Independent Digital Film Program. Now she is working to establish a solid client base filming, editing and producing for superb individuals and the organizations they are involved with.

Be the Change is a film which captures a multi-age community enjoying leisure time together.
