Romanians thank local volunteer SHARMAINE GRAY

Over twenty years ago the Kootenay Romanian Relief Organization Canada (KRRO) was formed in response to the desperate need experienced by orphaned children, the elderly and the poverty stricken in Romania. Bruce Halstead of Nelson helped to found the organization and has worked with it ever since. Mr. Halstead, a retired police officer, is leaving this October to oversee the distribution of the tenth container of clothing, bedding and stuffed toys to be sent to Romania. Each container brings aid to 10,000 Romanians. He credits the generosity of the people in the area for the success of the program. Over the years the goals of the program have evolved to include assistance with the creation of safe housing, a playground at an orphanage in Cimpulung, and muchneeded upgrades to a children’s camp. To date three houses have been completed and two more are under construction. Two of the families who received homes had been living with 14-15 people crammed into two rooms in buildings made of mud and having only dirt floors. Managing such an ambitious and successful program takes many hours and requires substantial support from the public. Currently the Kiwanis Club of �� Nelson is partnering with the KRRO to sponsor a fundraising raffle. The draw will be held on Sunday, October 26. Tickets are $2 each and prizes include a painting, a brad nailer and a crystal bowl. Tickets maybe purchased at Wood Vallance, �� True Value Hardware located at 610 Lakeside Dr. in Nelson. Diane Cherry of Wood Vallance may also be

contacted regarding ticket purchases at 250-3527221.. Donations of warm used clothing are also solicited by the KRRO though the lack of a storage facility has temporarily halted this aspect of their work. However, since donated baby clothing must be brand new, Anne Cavicchi of Annie’s Boutique, Nelson has offered to give a discount on any children’s donations purchased at her store and will house the purchases until the KRRO is ready to receive them. Cash donations for the organization may also be dropped off at Annie’s Boutique on the 400 block of Baker. Monetary donations may also be sent to: Kootenay Romanian Relief Organization Canada, P.O. Box 652, Nelson BC, V1L 5R4. Alternately, donations may be made at the KRRO website at www.romanianrelief.com. Tax receipts are available. Bookings for slide shows or talks can also be handled through the site. The children of No. 170 Geo Bogza School, Bucharest, Romania have written this letter to Mr. Halstead’s. “Mr. Bruce Halstead, with love, you came to us with so many gifts, with your heart and your eyes full of love. Every visit you pay to us is a celebration. Your eyes, as warm as the sunshine, express patience and happiness. Your kindness and love leave us with few words to thank you. We will never be able to fully thank you or to show you the profound gratitude we have for you. On your birthday we wish you good health and may your path be blessed �� “with flowers”. Happy Birthday!! Mr. Halstead turned 70 this summer.”

Local business survey a positive experience

A team from the Nelson Economic Development Partnership has spent the summer completing a business retention and expansion survey in order to take the pulse of Nelson businesses. “A lot of people were reluctant at first,” says Shandi Miller, Business Liaison for the BR+E survey. “Business owners are busy, and it’s just one more thing to add to their day. But often they are glad to have done it. It gives them 20 minutes to take a step back and look at their business and the larger context of the community.” “I like the fact that it’s local. The questions made us think, and helped us to see what our competitive advantages are,” said one business owner in a survey response. The BR+E team are just short of their goal of surveying 200 business owners. “We are at about 170 right now,” says Paul Wiest of Community Futures. “We’ve extended the survey until September 20. We are hoping business owners will go online and help us get over that 200 mark.” Members of the BR+E

�� Looking ahead to the BC Seniors’ Games��

For those seniors who see the arrival of fall and winter as a negative thing, this year they have the pleasure of looking forward to the West Kootenay Senior Summer Games that will take place in Nelson, Trail and Castlegar from August 16 to 21, 2011. With a contingent of some 2500 competitors and approximately 500 supporters and family members expected to attend, the logistics of organizing could seem quite daunting. But the provincial Games organization provides wellorganized ‘how to’ binders. Also, the leadership team of Pat Metge of Castlegar, Keith Smyth from Trail, and Nelson’s Bill Reid, as well as members of the 15person Directors’ group, are attending the ComoxCampbell River Senior Games this week for an

Midwives celebrate 1200 births In 12 years KCM 12th Anniversary Celebration Sunday, Sept. 29, 2-4 p.m. at the Kootenay Community Midwives building, 823 Baker St.

The Ko otenay Community Midwives are celebrating 12 years of MSP funded midwifery in Nelson with a party at their beautiful new heritage home at 823 Baker St. All comers are welcome to enjoy cake and lemonade, entertainment, and balloons together with the

families of current and for�� mer clients. As partners in one of the first rural practices in BC, Ilene Bell, Catherine Ruskin, and Tanya Momtazia have helped bring approximately 1200 babies into the world over a dozen years. Centred in Nelson, they have clients from every part of the region, with many par�� ents travelling from as far away as Meadow Creek, Rossland and even Grand �� Forks to access their care. Midwifery was registered in 1998, and now the overall rate of midwifery deliveries in BC is about six per cent. There are more than 170 registered midwives in the province, most in urban areas. Midwives offer all aspects of pre-natal care, support and care for �� women in labour at home

or in the hospital, and continue A to care for mom and baby until 6 weeks postpartum. “Many people still have misconceptions about midwives,” explains Bell. “Some stillthat believe means wethey have to pay privately for use fruitbut to inmake our services fact we are fully funded by proour jams & ﬁllings vincial medical insurance.

Upcoming referenda: the future of Granite Pointe recruits seasoned pro library services in outlying areas SHARMAINE GRAY Going to the library on a rainy afternoon; perusing the stacks, looking for just the right novel. Besides hockey, what could be more Canadian? Yet currently 1.4 per cent of British Columbians do not have access to free library services. Fully 25 per cent of that number, live in the area around Nelson. At present, people living in areas such as Blewett or Balfour must pay a yearly fee to the Nelson Municipal Library for the use of their services. Unfortunately, the fees charged fall far short of covering the actual costs. Faced with increasing demands on the system, the Nelson library contacted the Regional District of Central Kootenay to seek a solution. As a result it was decided that three referenda would be held involving Electoral Areas E, F and South H. The referenda will be held on Saturday, October 16. The question asked of the electorate is whether they want to contribute to the Library through local taxation. This means that each electoral area that passes the referendum will gain access to free universal library services. If any area sees the referendum voted down, a large increase in library membership fees will ensue. The cost of a family membership would double to $120.00. �� This would place an even heavier burden on low-income library patrons. June Stockdale, Chief Librarian, finds

��

the current situation lamentable and understands library patrons who express shock at having to pay to use the library. She finds that financial barriers to library use are “not appropriate” and she “would love to provide universal access to all.” The benefits of voting in support of the referendum include universal free access to library services; satellite service in the Slocan Valley and up Kootenay Lake; improved and expanded selection of materials to use and borrow; shut-in service for people who cannot leave their homes; residents will have representation at the Library Board of Trustees and if all three electoral areas vote yes, then new and improved services can be implemented to support youth. Even the hours and services at the Nelson Library location will see improvement as the Province will match every tax dollar that the three electoral areas raise. The proposed tax increase would average about $36.00 yearly for the average home. Ramona Faust, Director for Area E, notes that this is cost of one book and maybe a CD. Nelsonites currently pay a tax that helps fund the municipal library. Ms. Faust speaks for many when she says “I hope everyone comes out and votes.” The location of the polls will be widely advertised. Anyone wishing more information may contact the Regional District of Central Kootenay.

The Board of Directors of the historic Granite Pointe Golf Course announce the addition of Kim Boddy as the General Manager of Golf Course effective immediately. Mr. Boddy, a business development professional, comes to Granite Pointe with over 25 years of successful management experience, most recently serving as Director/Treasurer on the Balfour Golf Course Board of Directors. David Swain, President of Granite Pointe, said “We are thrilled to recruit an individual we anticipate will ensure the growth and development of our golf course for the benefit of our loyal Members and as a premier golf destination in the Kootenays. Nelsonites have made Granite Pointe a cornerstone of recreational life here and continue to welcome visitors for a unique golf experience.” With an extensive background in business development, marketing and finance, and as an avid golfer in the Kootenay region for over 25 years, Boddy is considered a match for

��

the vision established by the Members, Board, and Staff for Granite Pointe’s continued success and planned development. Swain added, “The Board extends a hearty thank you to the entire staff for keeping everything in topnotch condition while we completed the recruitment process. Kim Boddy will fit in quite well with the entire group.” When asked what attracted him to the position, Boddy replied “this golf course has extraordinary character and tremendous potential as it may not be as well known as some others in the Kootenay Region. Granite Pointe is a great test of golf, like

St. Andrews on steroids! Nelson is so well known for storybook charm mixed with cosmopolitan charisma. We also want to be known for offering everyone a golf experience with attitude and altitude. Come and play a round with us.” With splendid views of Kokanee Glacier, Kootenay Lake and the heritage City of Nelson, the 18hole Granite Pointe Golf Course, established in 1920, is an attraction on par with Ainsworth Hot Springs, Whitewater Ski Resort, Baker Street shopping and art gallery touring. - Submitted by Granite Pointe

Street Talk: What do you think is the most interesting part of Nelson?

Paying for the NDCC Dear Editor: The Aquatic Center Complex is a place to encourage health and well-being. It is owned and operated by the City of Nelson. The recent entrance fee hike has gone way too far over my head, not an encouragement to continue using the facility. We the tax payers - have paid for this complex already and now we are paying twice? I understand the maintenance cost is a factor, however, because I really want to use the facility for improving my health, I would like to offer my recommendation to

reducing the entrance fee as follows: We purchase an access card, with a personal picture on it, from the City of Nelson to use for one week, two weeks, one month, or a year accordingly. This is allowing me to enter the Aquatic Center when the card is scanned by a machine and entrance fee deducted then the machine spits out a wrist band; proof I paid. This will eliminate the need for front desk personnel by far. Jana Harmon Nelson

I had just read in the Nelson paper of grizzly bears sighted near our part of Rosemont (Nelson suburb). They had also broken into the garbage at the Golf Club a couple of nights

DEVELOP this along with the renovated CPR station and you have a good tourist gateway. Put the tent only crowd up on High St., so you do not have RVs trying to navigate our twisty city streets.

es are bike lanes and non-motorized beach access. The City should organize a community engagement process with some kind of participatory design charette before developing this public good.

I also think the boat launch should be moved to this area as well. The current boat launch is an absolute disgrace, for a town that is so reliable on tourism.

GREAT opportunity for something special.

I suspect the land will be too contaminated for residential use. I don’t think industrial use is good use of waterfront. The magic, strong and powerful energy, good for meditation. In Nelson, the people believe in everything. Its a place to prepare for the future. Marco Sanchaz, Teotihuacan,Mexico

before. Because it was dark, I could only hear the naughty bears in the distance so I walked out firstly on the balcony and then I hopped into our van and drove to where the shed and the noise was. I found four naughty bears! There was one big one and three smaller ones in the garbage. They were two coloured and I think they were grizzlies with a hump on their backs. I

MORE development! We need good paying jobs in Nelson! IT would be great to have an other location for a campground. AS I cannot think of another place to put it, the transfer station may have to stay where it is. IF there where an RV park and campground there, there would need to be a road connecting

Publisher’s Note: Nelson Becker

Meet the locals Many people come to Nelson because they have family or friends here. I am not concerned about them because they have someone to take care of them. It is the others – the tourists I want to take care of. Some years ago, the biggest reason why people visited us was because they saw us in the movie Roxanne. At first I thought it was because they wanted to see the fire station and buildings. Then I realized, they were looking for Roxanne. People from out of town want to experience us. They might say to me, “What is there to do in Nelson”? I used to say they could check out our art gallery or take a hike up pulpit rock. I might have sent them to Ainsworth Hot Springs. Then it dawned on me. People come here because of us, not because of places and things. They come because they want to peo-

ple-watch and because they want to have interesting conversations. Now I send people to our cafes. I tell them to ask for directions even if they know where they are so they can get into a conversation with a local. I tell them we can tell the difference between a local and an out of towner by the way they look or don’t look us in the eye. We could develop a book of people resources. This would be a way for tourist to meet the locals. I would gladly list myself in such a book. My profile would read - “Give me a call if you are in the newspaper business and I am good for a tour and dinner”. We could develop a personal guide service. This would feature an expert guide into the culture of the West Kootenay. It could be called One on One: A Personal Tour of Nelson and Its Culture.

to the highway directly. Let’s build some more expensive houses that out-of-towners buy to leave vacant most of the year. After all, it’s about tax revenue, not community, isn’t it? HOW about some of that affordable housing I’ve heard so much about, yet can’t seem to FIND. AB SOLUTELY green space. This would be a huge improvement for Nelson. The other end is being developed residentially, with houses and condos, save the west end! Why sacrafice our precious waterfront for an RV Park/Campground? Or for profit? Take a stand Nelson, its not all about profit. This is what the world needs.

Sound Vibes 2010 is an epic tour of local music. And its all for a great cause. Sound Vibes 2010 Friday, Sept. 24 at SpiritBar, 422 Vernon St.; the Royal, 330 Baker St.; Finley’s, 705 Vernon St.; and Eagles Hall, 641 Baker St.

STEPHANIE TAYLOR 15 local artists will be appearing at four popular Nelson music venues for an epic CD release party next Friday, Sept. 24. Featuring fresh-on-the-scene acts as well as well-know local favourites, Sound Vibes will take over Nelson’s scene to raise money for the KLH Foundation. “Sound vibes is about getting exposure for the local talent, and raising some money for a good cause,” says one of the festival organizers, Paul Hinrichs, who is also the director of booking and promotions at the Royal. “It’s an everybody wins situation. We’re trying to bring the community together so that for one night a year it will be like we’re all in it together.” For one night only, SpiritBar, the Royal, Finley’s and Eagle’s Hall will be playing host to the likes of the Tuques, Kashoo, Locomotive Ghost, Hap Mandala, Wantmonster and Almanak, just to name a few. The night is organized in a pub-crawl style; wristbands take the place of tickets, which will allow the bearer entry into all four venues to see all of the bands, including the allages shows at Eagles Hall. “A huge part of Sound Vibes is keeping the family element. We don’t want it to just be a pub crawl, we want people to come out and bring their kids, because it is a fundraising event,” he says, “and we want people of all ages to be exposed to the awesome local talent we have in the Kootenays.” SpiritBar’s Ryan Martin couldn’t agree more. “This is a premeire event that showcases the local musical talent we have living right here in the West Kootenays. The

caliber of musicians that reside here is incredible,” he says. “Enjoying local live music on any given night of the week in Nelson is part of what makes living here so special. For those that don’t get out much, this is the night to check it out with 100 per cent of door proceeds going to a very worthy cause.” This year’s lineup is organized a bit differently than last, in order to avoid grouping too many of the same types of acts into the same venue. “Last year, Dartura and Hammerhead both played at the Royal, and it was chaos!” Hinrichs notes. This year, expect to see everything from folk, metal, DJs and reggae at each venue. This is quality local live music. It a no brainer, Hinrichs says. “To have this kind of support in our fourth year is pretty remarkable, to have all the venues supporting it and having new bands submitting stuff each year, its great.” Serpico Audio, the brainchildren behind the festival, received over 35 submissions this year, almost all of them new, and they are always on the lookout for new talent. The submission guidelines are simple - the songs need to be current and from an active band or group, and the recording quality must be good enough to include on the Sound Vibes album. This is made even easier by special day-rates offered at Serpico, where they will engineer a professional track at a discounted rate. “This year’s stuff is great, and as long as the artists keep submitting stuff, Sound vibes will continue to be a success.” Festival wristbands are readily available for purchase at Eddy Music, the Bridge (formerly Mountain FM and Kootenay Coop radio for $20, which includes a copy of the Sound Vibes 2010 CD. Alternatively, single venue tickets can be purchased for $10.

Local fibre artist Angelika Werth’s handsewn dresses, made from salvaged tents, are on exhibit in gallery B at Touchstones Nelson. �� Werth’s interest in using the dress form to explore the idea of shelter is inspired by the poetry of 16th century writer Christopher Marlowe and her own search for home. Werth has hand embroidered lines of Marlowe’s poetry into the dresses themselves and, in some cases, the dresses take the form of a wedding dress.
