On Remembrance Day at 11a.m. at Nelson’s Cenotaph, nearly 1000 community members gave silent respect to the soldiers who served this country. Local pilots flew in formation, marking the occasion.

In late �� October this year, the Sinixt Nation, set up a protest camp in the Slocan Valley. The camp was erected on the Perry Ridge Forest Service Road in order to prevent Sunshine Logging (2004) Ltd. from proceeding with commercial logging in the area. The Kaslo company has since sought

recognized by the Crown as being Aboriginals under the Canadian Constitution. The Sinixt do not take this position. On November 15, a hearing by the Court will take place in Vancouver to consider the Sinixt Nation’s request that an interim order be put in place to suspend the licence issued to Sunshine Logging pending the lon-

ger term outcome of the judicial review. It was because of this proposed judicial review that the interim injunction against the blockade requested by Sunshine Logging was denied. It was seen as pre-empting the November 15 judicial hearing. Aaron notes that the Court appears to have expedited the November 15 hearing.

Optimism brings new businesses Eclectic Circus: Merriment for all 460 Ward Street Hours: 10:00-5:30 Tuesday thru Saturday

Howie Ross of Eclectic Circus

Howie Ross, owner and operator of Urban Legends on Baker Street, has expanded operations and opened a new store that reflects his love of collectables and of the unique. Ross started business in the Kootenays with the opening of Taghum Trading Company. This location was known for its eclectic mix of antiques and collectables. The Taghum store has now closed and serves as a warehouse for the new Nelson store. The store features antiques as well as imported furniture. New items come in all the time and Ross especially enjoys pieces that are funky and

one-of-a-kind. The store stocks a wide array of merchandise including small gifts, records and musical instruments. You will find the kooky, the bizarre, and the beautiful. Antiques and art have always played a large role in Ross’s life. As a child he was often taken antiquehunting with his mother in Upstate New York. Later he would own an art gallery in Los Angeles and has even dealt in Pre-Columbian Art. Ross puts customer service first. He states “I just want the store to be fun and unique. We want people to leave happier than when they came in.” Ross buys from the public and points to the use of digital photos as a great way for sellers to present their wares. He asks that people come to him with a price already in mind. Phone: 250-352-6569 Website: www.eclectic-circus.ca.

Khyati Holman of Sacred Journey

opened one of Nelson’s newest home furnishing boutiques. Based on the popularity of their Gray Creek location with Nelsonites, Holman took on the new location in October. They also have a store in Calgary, Alberta. Holman’s vision is to promote unique and quality handcrafted items both from around the world and from local artisans and artists. She is concerned by the replacement of skilled craftspeople by industrial production and notes that only thirty years ago, the creation of hand-loomed products supported an entire village. Now these villagers are without jobs. All her merchandise is handmade and fair trade. The store is elegant and reflects diverse Asian cultures. Items for sale include weavings, lead-free ceramics, Persian rugs, carvings and Thai fold-cut cushions to name a few. Small gift items are also carried. Interior design consultation is also available. Soon Aryuvedic services, products and classes will be offered. When asked about opening a store in what appear to be lean economic times, Holman replied that “If I had given into fear, I would never have made

Booksmyth: Rekindling Books 524 – Victoria St. Hours: 10:00-5:30, Monday thru Saturday

David Bracewell and Laura Carter of Booksmyth

Located in the Victoria Street Corner, Booksmyth is Nelson’s newest used bookstore. It opened in early October and is owned and operated by Nelsonites, David Bracewell and Laura Carter. Previously, the location was home to Copper Mountain Books. Elegant and welcoming, the re-designed store features thematically-based wooden alcoves built by Bracewell himself. Antiques and handcrafted decorator pieces led whimsy and interest to the space. Armchairs, small tables and a wooden, retro, curvilinear bench lend ample space for readers to peruse the more than 10,000 volumes housed there. Bracewell prides himself on organization and the store reflects this. Categories include mind/ body/spirit, literature, children’s books, travel memoirs, fiction, cook books, science, art books and more. Quality is emphasized with most books being rated as ‘fine’ or ‘very fine’, indicating high quality in the trade. Sellers may be paid cash or receive 30% to 50% of the used retail price as credit in the store. The store buys both soft and hard cover books. Bracewell held his Grand Opening this past Saturday and festivities included a book quiz with prizes. When asked about the impact of the economy on his decision to open, Bracewell responded “We have good prices and our quality is great. We were confident this model would work for us and, so far, it has.” Gift certificates are available. Ph: 250-352-1225

Myth-busting 101 When I was a kid and I asked my father about how something worked, or why something was the way it was, more often than not he told me to “look it up.” Off I would trudge to the Encyclopedia Britannica, housed in its own special case at the end of the hall. If it was a word I wanted, the Oxford English Dictionary was always open on top. In those days, “Look it up” meant finding a book. Now, “look it up” means so much more, because now we have Google. I’m an online-research lover, because of the speed with which the answers are delivered (and I don’t have to trudge down the hall)— and of course, I check my sources. But the internet has also bred the Urban Myth, incomplete—or even mis—information that people take as truth. Google, email, twitter—it’s easier than ever to spread the wrong word. Myth-buster 1: Library books don’t spread bedbugs, as suggested in a letter to the editor recently. If you start poking between the sheets, internet-wise, you’ll see that in all of North America there has been just one substantiated bedbug-in-a-library-book incident. Everything else online is comprised of chat room paranoia. We get a lot of things left in books in the Nelson Library, but none of them have ever been ambulatory. Myth-buster #2: The new regional district taxes that will come into play January 1st are not paying for the Library expansion. Who is?

check this out Anne DeGrace Federal and provincial government grants, The City of Nelson, library-friendly organizations, and generous individuals. Beginning January 1st, taxes collected from Areas F and part of H will join City residential taxes to allow the library to offer longer hours, new outreach services, enhanced programming, and a greater collection, both print and digital. Myth-buster #3: For residents of Area E, the subscription fee beginning January 1st is $120 per household—not per person. This amount reflects the cost of service. It also allows 40 items at a time on a household family card. At $10 per month, it is cheaper than a gym pass or a ski pass, buying one book per month, or renting two newrelease DVDs. My dad’s default response to “look it up” set me up for a lifelong love of research. I am equally comfortable with print and digital sources, and I love that answers are so readily at my fingertips, whether it’s a book from the shelf or a reliable webpage. It’s true that, in this information age, we are bombarded with fact and fiction, both; it can be hard to tell myth from fact. When in doubt? Ask a librarian.

Taking Back Our Natural Health Industry

A free, evening event with Constitutional Lawyer and President of the Natural Health Products Protection Association (NHPPA) Shawn Buckley, is offered at the Capitol Theatre at 7pm on Thursday November 18th. Everyone is welcome to attend. Remember Bill C-51 from 2007? Bill C-36 is the newest incarnation of a bill that is being promoted as a ‘consumer safety’ law and is actually a law that will severely undercut both rule of law and access to

herbs and supplements. Hundreds of products will likely be removed from the shelves and the bill gives the government the ability to seize and remove products without court supervision. This free event is sponsored by the Kootenay Coop in partnership with the NHPPA. Come out and hear what you can do to help stop Bill C-36 and to support the campaign to suspend and review the Natural Health Product Regulations.

Second Chance animal shelter is able to continue Dear Editor, YES! Thanks to the Express and writer Sharmaine Gray for the timely piece about Second Chance Animal Shelter in last week’s paper. The Emporium Room at the Hume could barley hold the number of people who showed up for the Second Chance Animal Shelter’s Annual General Meeting and Board Elections. The Shelter Society now has 10 new directors to lead its work and a list of members to support it. Nelson’s pet population will continue to be cared for with increasing commitment.

As out-going President of the Society, I need to clear up some misinformation in Ms. Gray’s story. Based on her interview with me she mistakenly wrote that some animals, in particular ill and/or older cats and pit-bull cross dogs, live permanently at the shelter. This is NOT the case. No animals live permanently at the Shelter. Older or ill animals and perceived aggressive breeds of dogs have spent longer times at the shelter but the shelter does not provide permanent homes/care for them. The Shelter’s goal is always to adopt out ani-

mals to permanent homes. As a writer I sometimes speak with ‘poetic license’ and I suspect I lamented that these longer-term animals practically lived at the shelter. I apologize for the misunderstanding. The new Board of Second Chance Animal Shelter is motivated and enthusiastic. As it moves forward with Shelter reorganization and with hiring a new Manager, I hope Nelson and area residents will continue to support it as the invaluable animal resource that it is. Paula Hudson-Lunn Nelson

Commentary Last week we celebrated Remembrance Day in Nelson. We recognized the heroes past and present who go to war to protect our freedom and the freedom of others. Freedom, as defined by EnCarta Encyclopedia, is “a state in which somebody is able to act and live as he or she chooses”. The pursuit of freedom is therefore seen as a noble cause. For a small group of citizens in Nelson, the focus of this pursuit of freedom falls on the Compound of Matero in Lusaka, Zambia. In this country, where the life expectancy is 37 years of age, the children of an AIDS-decimated generation are fighting a daily battle for the freedom to live. In their fight for survival, they learn to subsist without the love of parents, without a bed in which to sleep and, most often, without food to fill their bellies. In an act of solidarity with the plight of these children and to raise money for a food program in the Kuunika Community School, several members of the Nelson and Kaoma Alliance (NAKA) embarked on a three-day Fast to Feast that ended on Remembrance Day. They aimed to raise ten thousand dollars to pro-

vide a daily meal to two hundred children attending a school that was built specifically for Orphan and Vulnerable Children (OVCs) in Matero, with funds provided by Rotary Club and other humanitarian organizations. The funds will cover the cost of a balanced daily lunch for an entire school year. As one of these members, I had the pleasure and “pain” of participating in the Fast. It was easier for me because it was the familiar feeling that I experienced on many of the ninety days I spent in Zambia last year, living with and loving the children in Matero Compound. Here at home though, I spent three days trying to ignore the aromas of food cooking in my kitchen, the little bowl of almonds sitting idly on the counter, and even the lonely apple swaying on a bare branch of the almost dormant apple tree. I was hungry, a little headachy from caffeine withdrawal and not particularly energetic. When you read this, realize that I am a mature woman, I live in a warm house, I have warm clothes, books to read, friends and family around, and I HAD A CHOICE! I am not the small child yearning to fill his belly and grow

his body and mind. I am not the twelve-year old sleeping on his desk because it’s the warmest and most comfortable sleeping place he will find in the next 24 hours. This fast was about those children. If we can fill their bellies, we can fill their minds and begin to bring new hope and opportunity to their dismal human condition. At the end of last week’s Fast, some of NAKA’s members attended the extraordinary concert for peace called The Armed Man. In the program for this show, the Director , Allison Girvan, wrote the following: “...remember that, no matter how remote the connection to someone who lived 100 years ago or lives now 10,000 miles away, we are connected by the fragile filament of the human condition.” In an effort to improve the condition of our children in Zambia, we welcome you to contact NAKA to learn more about this grassroots initiative, or to make a contribution to the meal program.

Publisher’s Note: Nelson Becker

We are all needed Many people are either out of work or unable to find work. Our government tries to help, subsidizing these people in one way or another, but where does this lead? The worst thing about being unemployed is the feeling that society has little use for your input. Clearly, this is not true. We all look around and see that we don’t live in a perfect society, though everyone is needed in some way. We are all of equal value, regardless of the challenges we face; physical, emotional, intellectual or spiritual.

I take the attitude that everyone in our society knows something I don’t know, and it is my job to find out what that is. The opposite is also true. I know something that no one else knows, and therefore it is my job to find out what that is, and to convey this information in the best way I know how. If we are able to adopt this attitude and integrate these views into our lives, we will usher in a world that is humble, creative, and inclusive. Let us find ways to employ each other, for everyone has something to give.

Fish Heads and Flowers Fish Heads To tailgaters everywhere! There are animals on the highways. I’d rather keep my rear end, thank you very much. Flowers To the woman who dropped off money she found outside the Nelson Police station. No one would have been the wiser if you’d kept it and I would have been the poorer! After retracing my steps for a couple of days I stopped in at the station on the faint hope it had been turned it - it had! Fish Heads To the person who tossed a bag of entrails (guts) in Kokanee Creek Park near the boat launch. What were you THINKING???? - NOT!!! Flowers To Recycling Lady down by the railway tracks is doing a great job in and assisting the community at an affordable cost, with sharing and caring. You Shine On.

Fish Heads To the thief who stole our MP3 player and speakers (and all parking change) from our car in lower Fairview - if you ever want the data chord to add more music, drop by and say hello. Flowers To the man who raised me. There are no words strong enough to express how much I love and care for you. We may not share any blood between us but you are my dad. Fish Heads To drivers who don’t know what a STOP sign requires you to do. My daughter was nearly hit by an inattentive woman at a quiet intersection. Keep your eyes open, and obey the rules of the road. A life is more important than getting to the hair dresser on time. Flowers To the man who complimented our most recent work. We appreciate hearing that we have done a good job.

SEND US YOUR FISH HEADS AND FLOWERS! All submissions to the Express Fish Heads and Flowers section will be considered provided that no one is identified in the text or signature, all signatures are anonymous, and the submission is both concise and written in good taste. We reserve the right to withhold publication of submissions if these standards are not satisfied. To submit your gift of Fish Heads or Flowers, you may send email to express@expressnews.bc.ca, drop off or mail to 554 Ward Street, Nelson, B.C., V1L 1S9, or fax to (250) 352-5075. We will not accept submissions over the telephone. The Express cannot guarantee that your submission will be printed due to space limitation.

I was raised on a farm. You never put chickens and pigs together, because they can cause health problems for each other.

Collette belies restless, curious image Jason Collett w/ Al Tuck & Daniel Huscroft Thursday, Nov. 25, 9 p.m. The Royal, 330 Baker St.

Arts & Crafts recording artist Jason Collett is playing Nelson Thursday, Nov. 25 in a very special solo acoustic show. Opening sets by Al Tuck & Daniel Huscroft. They say that life begins at 40, but in the case of

Jason Collett, that’s not just some overly optimistic bumper-sticker slogan. To many indie-rock fans, Jason Collett is the wise, big-brother character in Broken Social Scene, the calm, cool, collected totem of stability in a band defined by drama and chaos “our Tom Petty figure,” as BSS figurehead Kevin Drew once (half-jokingly) dubbed him.

But this reading of Collett belies the restless, curious spirit that he’s exhibited throughout his solo career outside of Broken Social Scene. For someone who’s been a fixture on the Toronto live-music circuit for two decades, you could totally understand if an artist of Collett’s experience and vintage settled into a country-rock comfort zone, and kept strumming the

same ol’ songs until his ears gave out. But at the core of Collett’s big brotherly wisdom is the idea that, the older you get, the more you realize there’s still so much to learn. To wit, Rat a Tat Tat, the fourth album to bear Jason Collett’s name, but the first to make you double-check who you’re actually listening to. The opening elegy “Rave On Sad Songs” blossoms

from a solitary serenade into an Irish-pub last-call waltz: in it we hear a voice that’s several degrees more conversational and starkly unaffected than the one heard on previous Collett signatures like “Tiny Ocean of Tears,” “Almost Summer” or “Out of Time.” But it’s a gesture that perfectly suits a song wherein Collett seemingly bids farewell to the maudlin confessionals that

can define and restrict many a singer-songwriter. And it serves as a telling setup to an album on which Jason Collett spends most of his time gleefully messing around with the idea of what it is to be Jason Collett. Opening set by East Coast legend Al Tuck , and Daniel Huscroft. Tickets are $10 and available now at The Royal, or at liveattheroyal.com.

Complementary by Contrast Opening November 19, 7-9 p.m. Nov 20,-Jan 16, at Touchstones

Touchstones has divided their large Gallery A space between two local artists, Natasha Smith and Rachel Yoder. The artists are friends and are at similar points in their art careers, but the two exhibits in many ways could not be more different in concept, style and technique. One artist creates purely abstract paintings that investigate colour relationships and structure in a controlled way, while the other artist creates expressively using less structure. For more information call: 250-352-9813

Accretion is a new series of oil paintings, sculpture, and installation from the studio of one of B.C.’s newly discovered talents.

Juno Award winner Morgan Davis has been on the road travelling across Canada, the United States and Europe for nearly four decades.

If you are a local area senior, or the relative of one, or a care-giver of one, then two things happening this month should be of interest. The Friends of Nelson Elders, with a membership of some 250, will hold its annual general meeting on Thursday, November 25, at 10:30 AM, at Bethel Christian Centre, 623 Gordon Road. Part of the Friends’ constitution states its purpose to be “to help fund projects that will enhance the social, physical and emotional wellbeing of seniors in the Nelson area.” To date, the AGM’s have seen very low attendance, and long-term Board Members would dearly love to hear input from others who espouse their mandate. Even if you are not yet a member, membership is free and you are welcome to attend. FONE has cooperated with the Osprey Community Foundation in decisions related to grants that benefit seniors. The Osprey Board is currently doing a seniors’ needs assessment for people living in Nelson, and Areas E and F. The Foundation hopes to hear directly from seniors 55 and over, and from seniors’ organizations.

been thinkin’ about George Millar Dr. Janice Murphy, project coordinator, says, “It’s important that seniors’ voices be heard on this. We want to find out what’s needed to make this a community that’s inclusive and accessible, and promotes active aging.” The first step is the survey, which is on-line through November at www.surveymonkey.com/ ospreyseniors. Print copies are available at the Seniors Coordinating Society, 719 Vernon Street, and at the Nelson Library. Early next year, community workshops will be held to “refine priorities and strategies.” The survey committee will report to the Osprey Board in early February. The report will also be made available to service providers, seniors organizations, funding agencies, and local seniors. Your active involvement in either or both of these events will be appreciated.

Selkirk Saints set to play exhibition season Civic Arena turns 75 years This month marks a

The Selkirk Saints men’s and women’s volleyball teams will not be playing in the British Columbia Colleges. Athletic Association (BCCAA) league this year, but will undertake an exhibition season in preparation for a stronger, revitalized program in 2011-2012. The Selkirk College Men’s Volleyball program has experienced some challenges to start the 2010-11 season. Some of the studentathletes on the men’s team could not commit to the BCCAA league schedule and as such, the team did not have enough players to adequately fulfill league requirements. With this in mind, the college had to make the difficult decision to withdraw the team from the league for this season. An application for dispensation was made to the

BCCAA Executive to allow only the women’s volleyball team to participate during the 2010-11 season. However, the request was denied due to the fact that league schedules are based on both genders traveling and competing at the same time. “This was a tough decision for all parties,” said Athletic Director Kim Verigin. “The good side to all of this is that Selkirk College is still a member of the BCCAA and the Executive is very supportive of our situation.” The BCCAA league Executive Committee recommended that Selkirk College play an exhibition season and use the year to rebuild the program. “The men’s and women’s teams will continue to operate with regular weekly practices,” explained Verigin. We are currently working to confirm a competitive exhibition schedule for 2010-

11 and we will continue to support the student-athletes and coaches who have committed to both programs.” Overlaying this issue, declining enrolment in volleyball programs in the West Kootenay and Boundary regions and a changing dynamic within the BCCAA league has made it difficult for smaller colleges like Selkirk to recruit studentathletes and stay competitive. Many BCCAA institutions are in transition to make the jump to Canada West (Canadian Interuniversity Sport)—the highest level of intercollegiate sport available in Canada. “We are hopeful that this year will be a positive turning point for the volleyball program,” said Verigin. “But, we are not certain. We are going to have to work hard and see what the future will bring.”
