Dr. Andrew Jones has announced his resignation from the College of Veterinarians

NELSON BECKER

Vet resigns over legal�� issues KATHY EHMAN

Dr. Andrew Jones will resign from the College of Veterinarians and from his active practise at the Nelson Animal Hospital, on Nov. 30. Jones hopes his resignation will appease the College, who fined him $30,000 for breach of the College’s Code of Ethics and Bylaws. Another $10,000 in fees and more in legal fees are a stagger�� ing financial possibility he wants to avoid. The charges against Jones stem from how he worded ads and literature for his online practice, specifically his use of the words “safe, safely, affordable, superior,” as well as certain phrases that suggested that his methods were better than conventional veterinary medicine.

The Veterinary Code of but they were holding me ucts and services on the Ethics states: “A member to such strict guidelines. web requires using lanmust not compare their I didn’t think that it was guage people can relate professional competence fair.

mentation to prove the validity of the methods and materials discussed on the Internet, charging him with making unsubstantiated claims. With his resignation days away, Jones has already hired his replacement, as well as another vet to start soon at the hospital. Jones will serve on the Board of Directors for the Second Chance Animal Shelter next door, and he hopes to take part in major renovations there. He still agonizes over his choices, and the decision to give up his practice. “I’m not happy not to be able to practice. I feel it’s important to make a stand. It’s really not right to be able to impose a fine of $30,000.” He also wonders if the

College’s long arm will try to reach out in the future to fine him again over words. “Just because you’re not part of the College doesn’t mean they can’t prosecute you now.” Jones explained he can only sell products and exchange information, as he will continue to do online, but without performing a physical service, even one that doesn’t require a veterinary license. “What’s the point of all that? I’m not affecting any other vet’s business, I don’t have clients saying “he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.” He said he does know that if language again becomes an issue, it could be a freedom of speech matter and involve the Charter of Rights.

Nelson Police blotter On November 15th, at approximately 4:10pm, a 40 year old Nelson resident was crossing in a marked crosswalk at the corner of Vernon St. and Stanley Sts. A pick-up, driven by a 52 year old Nelson resident, traveling eastbound on Vernon St., entered the crosswalk, striking the pedestrian. The pedestrian was thrown across the intersection by the impact. Police, fire and ambulance personnel attended the scene. The pedestrian was transported to Kootenay Lake Hospital with what appeared to be minor injuries. The driver of the pick-up was charged with failing to field to a pedestrian in a crosswalk. Police are reminding drivers that winter is upon us. Drivers must take extra care to ensure that they are traveling at speeds that allow them to properly react to changing weather and road conditions.

Intoxicated Male/Breach of Pre-trial/Probation Conditions NPD File #2010-5274 On November 15th, 2010, at approximately 3pm, police responded to an intoxicated male urinating on the street in downtown Nelson. Police located the male who was heavily intoxicated. A 21 year-old Nelson resident was arrested for being intoxicated in a public space. Upon further investigation, it was determined that the male was on probation and pre-trial release. Both orders required the male to abstain from the consumption of alcohol. The male was lodged in Nelson Police cells and will be attending court on November 12, 2010 in Nelson. Charges of Fail to Comply with a Probation Order and Fail to Comply with an Undertaking are being recommended.

A message of hope Brieﬂy

Candlelight service and carols

Sunday Nov. 28th , 7 p.m at St. Saviour’s Anglican Church, corner of Ward and Silica

As temperatures drop to freezing and the days are darkened, we seek inward transformation just as we look forward to the coming of the Light. The four weeks before Christmas is the season of Advent, a time of reflection and anticipation. What are my priorities. How can I change. Where are my gifts and talents needed? We look towards growing in wisdom, courage and compassion. In Advent we journey in stages, through a series of Sundays: Hope, Peace, Joy and Love. To celebrate the beginning of Advent, St. Saviour’s Anglican Church, Nelson, (corner of Ward & Silica Sts.,) invites everyone to

come to a Candlelight Service: Advent Lessons and Carols, on Sunday Nov.28th , at 7p.m. This evening of listening to short lessons inter-dispersed with meaningful hymns, led by a choir, lets us enjoy the nostalgia that singing together brings. Elders, teens, “middlers” and people from all stages of life will find that, singing together and listening to readings from the Christian sacred story, provides the opportunity for the experience of preparing ourselves-making room in our hearts- for a peace that can complete our lives. Invite that special friend or neighbour, check in with your family members, and get together at the “Advent Candlelight and Carols” , to enter the mystery anew. Come into a safe space, and allow yourselves to experience a message of hope.

The Sinixt Story Goes to China In 1987, Max Frobe joined with other concerned Kootenay residents to blockade a road building project that would bisect an ancient Sinixt village and burial grounds at Vallican in the Slocan Valley.

He could never have dreamed that 23 years later, he would produce a movie of that event. The three generations of the Frobe family who created the local docudrama The Sinixt: Bringing Home the Bones, were recently notified that their project was officially selected to screen in the China International Documentary Film Festival. The screening will take place the first week of December in the city of Guangzhou, China’s third largest city. Max will journey there on December 3rd. During his stay he will pitch the Sinixt movie, along with other films produced by his family, to major distributors from China and around the world. The movie was filmed entirely in the Slocan Valley and on the Coleville Reservation in Washington, USA. The timing of the China International Documentary Film Festival is apt, as the Sinixt are once again in the news with the Perry’s Ridge blockade.

Our Homes, Our Offices, Our Climate, Our Community Wednesday, December 8, 1:003:30 p.m. Best Western Baker Street Inn, 153 Baker St.

The meeting will present an opportunity to examine opportunities and challenges from finance to training to building code projections. Invitees include a variety of players in the building sector such as developers, builders, architects and others. This meeting is one of a series with stakeholders and the public to inform development of a practical and innovative plan to reduce greenhouse gas, promote sustainable energy and strengthen our community. This Plan will build on the sustainability principles and goals of the City’s proposed Path to 2040 Sustainability Strategy.

Nelson aids Haiti

Local birth doula Amanda Pheeney is about to embark on a life-changing journey. Pheeney is heading to Haiti to work at a Mother Health International birth clinic as well as several smaller clinics around the country. The goal of the project is to work alongside Haitian midwives to help train local women to be doulas and midwives. Pheeney will be helping out as a birth doula, as well as working on gardens to grow food and plant medicines for the women to use at the clinic. In Haiti, roughly 670 per 100,000 mothers die in childbirth while 48.8 infants die per 1,000 births. (In stark contrast, the US infant mortal-

Anti-matter science

Canadian scientists along with international colleagues have made an important advancement in the containment of anti-matter at CERN in Geneva. Please refer to the weblink: “http:// www.ctv.ca/CT VNews/ TopStories/20101117/antimatter-science-101117/” As often happens in scientific reporting in the mainstream media, there are quite a few errors in the story described in the above weblink. I will discuss these in next week’s column. However, I do recommend reading the link, as it is quite an interesting development on an international scale. The spokesperson on this story for Canada’s TRIUMF lab at UBC in Vancouver is Dr. Marcello Pavan. Dr. Pavan grew up in Trail, BC. Those of us who grew up in Nelson, and are between the ages of 45 – 50 years, and

dr. science Morgan Dehnel who played soccer might remember him as an outspoken goalie from Trail with the nickname “Bun”. LVR played his team, J.L. Crowe, in the Grade 12 finals in 1981, and Nelson managed to win that year and went on to the East/ West Kootenay finals in Fernie. Dr. Pavan studied at UBC for a bachelors degree in Engineering Physics, while playing for the UBC soccer team, followed by a Ph.D. in experimental physics at UBC/ TRIUMF. He later worked at MIT. Dr. Pavan now works at TRIUMF, and he has experimentalist responsibilities, as well as being

the TRIUMF outreach person. He conducts many talks at schools around BC (LVR or Trafalgar could consider having him give a talk). In addition, he has been named as a liaison with Selkirk College, which has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with TRIUMF. The main point of the recent advancements regarding anti-matter as described in the weblink is the fact that they can now contain anti-matter for 1/10 of a second. This may not sound like a very long time, but for many physics experiments this is a very long time to collect information. Often physics detectors and computers must handle the recording of experimental events that occur in periods of time as small as pico-seconds, nanoseconds, micro-seconds, or milli-seconds.

Dr. Science is in real life, Dr. Morgan Dehnel, a particle accelerator physicist, and resident of Nelson. Please send comments or questions regarding this column to express@expressnews.bc.ca

Aviation alumni fly into 40th year Alumni, founders, faculty and staff of Selkirk College’s Aviation Professional Pilot Program celebrated their 40-year reunion last month at the Aviation Training Centre in Castlegar. Almost 100 people were in attendance for the wine and cheese reception, the golf tournament at the Castlegar Golf Club and the “test flights” on the ALSIM 300 flight simulator. The reunion provided an opportunity to meet and greet program founder and recipient of the 2008 Honorary Diploma in Aviation, Dr. John Hall. It also gave second year aviation students a chance to take a flight in a Citation executive jet with 2000 alumnus and AirSprint

pilot, James Elliot. “It was great to get together and see where everyone was at.” he said. Chair of the School of Business and Aviation Henri Bureaud noted. “Our grads have done some amazing things and taken varied and interesting career paths. It was inspiring not only for me, but for the current students in the program.” C aptain B arr y Wiszniowski, 1989 alumnus and Chair of Technical and Safety Division, Air Canada Pilots Association, was the emcee for the event. Wiszniowski raised $1250.00 for the 2011 class by auctioning off the order in which tables were allowed to access the buffet dinner. “A lot of good can come

out of these types of gatherings,” explained Bureaud. “The connections with people can prove to be useful, and beneficial, in this industry.” Selkirk College’s Aviation - Professional Pilot Program trains pilots for entry-level positions in the Canadian Aviation Industry. They tote a program that keeps pace with advances in flight technology and has a team of professional, experienced pilots who have flight training, air taxi, commuter, regional, airline, corporate, bush and military experience.

Creative donations from creative sources Cold Rock Productions, Interior Health, and Credit Union fond ways to have a major impact Gravel parking lots, worn signs marking the entrance to an abandoned office, and paint peeling beneath an incandescent glow mark the sources for the latest purchase of medical equipment for Kootenay Lake Hospital. As Cold Rock Productions was firming up locations for its “The Tall Man” feature film, they came across the former Mount St. Francis Hospital. They approached Interior Health to see what could be done to use some Hollywood magic and turn the former residential site into an abandoned mine building that would serve as the backdrop for portions of the feature film. A deal was struck and filming at Mt. St. Francis took place this fall. Rather than use the rent to fund internal operations, Interior Health asked Cold Rock Productions to pass the arranged $22,000 rent directly to the Kootenay Lake Hospital Foundation.

“The Foundation has done an amazing job this past year with the CT campaign and we know their current work is dedicated to supporting the new KLH Emergency Department,” said IH Board Chair Norman Embree. “This was a one-time opportunity and we knew that giving them the money was a great way to ensure it had a direct benefit for local health care. As an added bonus, providing the location we have in Nelson and keeping the filming in the local area had other economic benefits to the broader community. It was a win-win for everyone.” Pat Dooley, the recently elected Chair of the local Foundation, added: “We were so busy this year that we had no idea the IHA had arranged this. This is a tremendous gesture. We’re really looking forward to seeing the movie.” She explained that the Foundation and local KLH management negotiate a priority equipment list each year and will select an item for immediate purchase for one of the many

departments at KLH. In the major donations news, during the Nelson and District Credit Union 60 year celebrations on November 16th, the local financial institution passed along the final installment to a major partnership on the CT scanner campaign. To hit the $1 million milestone in that campaign they donated $60,000 earlier in the campaign with a promise to provide $2,000 more for every new mortgage up until the past week’s anniversary date. That led to the maximum donation of another $40,000. Foundations director Brian May noted that, “Both of these gestures were very creative ways to turn business opportunities into a community opportunity. One became a cornerstone of our CT campaign and the other will go toward the direct purchase of other priority medical equipment at KLH. It’s been a good month.” The Foundation will kick off its Light Up the Hospital campaign before the end of November.

Thank You to the Community Following the Loss of Our Dog Moose We would like to take this opportunity to thank the community of Nelson and beyond from the bottom of our hearts for their tremendous support and concern following the loss of our dog Moose who was stolen on September 13th. This was and is an extremely devastating and stressful time, and it was often the kindness and concern shown by strangers that helped us make it through each day. To date, I have received well over 1500 emails of support from the citizens of Nelson and across North America, hundreds of phone calls and numerous offers of financial aid from both private individuals and local businesses. Dozens of people put in hundred of hours in the ground search over a period of 5 weeks. We

are absolutely blown away, time and time again, by the many gestures of kindness and help shown by the members of this community and the communities of Deer Park and Robson. Thank you so much!!! It is wonderful to be part of a community that cares so much about its members, both 2 and 4-legged! We continue to have Moose in our hearts and prayers and continue to follow all leads. Kristi Malakoff and Alex Fostvedt Nelson

Passing lane saves no time I have a riddle for you: If you travel at 90 km/hr in the new 1.5 km passing lane just west of Nelson, how much sooner do you arrive than someone travelling at only 80 km/hr in the slow lane? If you answered “7 seconds”, congratulations! You are almost correct. You’d get home 7 seconds earlier and have an extra 7 seconds to spend any way you wanted. But wait, you’re wrong!

You get to the end of the passing lane, and within a few seconds... you’re stuck behing a grey minivan travelling at 80 km/h. The illusion here is you think you have saved a full 7 seconds, but in reality you arrive home at the same time. It’s quite the joke. $6.5 million. And meanwhile, the line at the food bank gets longer. Phillip Jackson South Slocan

Canada must be a peacemaker Canadian citizens want the military action in Afghanistan to cease. Our Prime Minister committed to end our military involvement, and now, he has reneged on his word. Nearly 1,000 Canadians will stay in Afghanistan; just a training mission in classrooms he says, but this training will focus on the use of armaments and military action. I stand against Canada’s participation in violent solutions to the challenges facing the Afghan people. I am in favour of 5,000 Canadians going to Afghanistan in an effort to build schools and hospitals, and to train people to be doctors and teachers.

It has been estimated that as many as 30% of the Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan come back with post traumatic stress disorder. We are just starting to deal with that in Canada, and must take into consideration the post traumatic stress disorders of the Afghan people and their children. Our role should be to help rebuild the country from an humanitarian point of view. This is how we will truly win the hearts and minds of the Afghan people, and support not only peaceful resolution to problems across the globe, but also here at home, in our own backyard.

Commentary

Commentary There is much confusion about the so-called “extinction” of the Sinixt, which was declared by the Crown in 1956. The extinction declaration corresponds to the Canadian government’s view that there ceased to be any living Sinixt individuals on the Indian Register maintained by the Crown under the Indian Act. In general, the Crown recognized as registered Indians only those individuals who maintained residency on the Oatscott reserve, which was established for the Sinixt in 1903 – an piece of land near Burton with no road access, consisting of precipitous bluffs. Staying on that reserve was incompatible with the Sinixt modality of survival via seasonal migration in rotational use of the resources scattered throughout their territory. Taking up agriculture and staying sedentary on the Oatscott reserve was tantamount to a cultural death sentence for the Sinixt because it entailed an abandonment of traditional modes of subsistence. So very few Sinixt (a maximum of 26) stayed on the Oatscott reserve and those who chose to live elsewhere (and all their descendents thereafter) got excluded from being recognized as registered Indians under the Indian Act, with the exception of the family of Alex Christian, who unsuccessfully lobbied the Crown for the establishment of a second, more viable reserve at the Sinixt’s ancestral village site near Brilliant. Fortunately, the Sinixt right to be consulted by

Publisher’s Note: Nelson Becker

the Crown is not dependant on being recognized as a registered Indian under the Indian Act. Rather, the Sinixt say that their right to be consulted by the Crown is vested in their status as “aboriginal people of Canada” whose rights are protected under the Constitution Act of 1982 - the highest law in the land. The Constitution trumps the Indian Act. The Sinixt say that it is clear that they are an “aboriginal people of Canada”. Eighty percent of their traditional territory lies north of the 49th parallel. Their grave yards have been discovered in Vallican, their pit houses in Lemon Creek and their huckleberry fields on Perry Ridge. Their folk lore tells of Frog Peak and the formation of Christina Lake. They are named after the bull trout of this region. With the establishment of the border in 1846, the Sinixt’s territory was severed and with the failure of the Canadian government thereafter to enfranchise them with the right to cross the border; and with the Crown’s failure to provide them with adequate reserve land, their ability to maintain cohesive communities in Canada became severely compromised. At the time the Sinixt were declared extinct in 1956, there were approximately 300 Sinixt accounted for who were not registered on the Indian Act register maintained by the Canadian government. All those people got disenfranchised from their Indian Act rights in Canada, including their right to enter and remain

in Canada. The damming of the Columbia River, the major arterial superhighway on which the Sinixt depended for their social, cultural, economic and spiritual activities thought their territory, further impeded their ability to subsist and maintain communities in their Northern territory. While the Crown, through its corporation, BC Hydro, has been actively consulting the Sinixt, the Ministry of Forests and Range has declined to consult the Sinixt on the basis that “it is not clear that the Sinixt are aboriginals of Canada”. We say it is clear that the Sinixt are an aboriginal people of Canada – but to the extent that there is some ambiguity in that regard – it does not relieve the Crown from their duty to consult the Sinixt. The Sinixt contend that the Province has incorrectly imposed a standard of “clear” proof as a threshold to engaging in consultation. In saying that the Province is acting erroneously and dishonorably in that regard, the Sinixt rely on the Supreme Court of Canada’s statement in Haida Nation v. British Columbia (Minister of Forests), at paragraph 33: To limit reconciliation to the post-proof sphere risks treating reconciliation as a distant legalistic goal, devoid of the “meaningful content” mandated by the “solemn commitment” made by the Crown in recognizing and affirming Aboriginal rights and title… It also risks unfortunate consequences. When the distant goal of

proof is finally reached, the Aboriginal peoples may find their land and resources changed and denuded. This is not reconciliation. Nor is it honourable. The Crown’s duty to consult is grounded in “the honour of the Crown” and arises where the Crown is aware of a credible aboriginal rights or title claim and the Crown contemplates conduct that stands to impact on the claimed aboriginal rights. The Sinixt claim hydrological, wildlife, plant, archeological and cultural interests on Perry Ridge in relation which the Sinixt exercise aboriginal rights. The Crown’s duty to consult with respect to unproven aboriginal rights claims arises in the context of the reconciliation process that has been identified by the Courts – the process of reconciling Canadian sovereignty with the fact that Canada’s Aboriginal peoples were here when Europeans came, and were never conquered. Reconciliation is a process in which every Canadian shares an interest. This process is not easy. But it is what is defining Canada as a just society. Our country is not perfect, but we are in the process of reckoning and reconciling the historical injustices upon which the Canadian flag was planted. Our generation can feel proud that we are part of that process…proud to be Canadian. David Aaron November 16, 2010

It all started with a promise. A promise that we made when we got on the plane after adopting our girls that our commitment to Ethiopia had only just begun. I promised that I would do whatever I could to try and improve the situation for the women and children living there. This is where the Stephen Lewis Foundation comes in. I have heard Stephen Lewis speak many times about HIV/AIDS in Africa and read many of his books. Those of you that have done the same know that it’s impossible not to be affected by what he has to say. This year is the second year of the Stephen Lewis Foundations Dare to Remember Campaign, which challenges us to do something extraordinary as an act of solidarity with those facing enormous challenges and incredible hardship in Sub Saharan Africa. The campaign runs from October 19th until December 1st (World Aids Day). I spent some time thinking about what kind of dare I could do. It would have to make a statement about my commitment to the continent of my daughter’s birth and be significant enough to garner support from my family, friends, and colleagues and so translate into funds for the Stephen Lewis Foundation. I finally decided that I would shave my long curly brown locks off entirely and donate the hair to a company that makes wigs for those battling cancer. I can’t say that my daughters were thrilled about it at first, but after many

long talks about everything from beauty and self image, to commitment to purpose, they were on board. It has been an interesting process to see how people reacted when I told them I was going to shave my head. While I have had fantastic support from many of my family, friends and coworkers, I also have had many people offer to donate to my dare if I didn’t shave my head. I even had an offer to double my money if I didn’t go through with it - not much of a dare to maintain the status quo! The reality is that I would give much more if it meant that no one else had to suffer needlessly, and I feel somewhat embarrassed to be called courageous for doing what I have done. The courageous ones are the ones for whom we are fundraising. Grandmothers looking after up to 30 orphaned children, with little or no resources. Children raising other children and providing care to their dying parents. I have a very personal connection with Africa that has spurred me on. I encourage you to look at what we all have in common as parents, daughters, sons, grandparents and human beings and find your inner daredevil to help fight HIV/AIDS in Africa. To sponsor my dare (or to initiate your own) go to www.adaretoremember.com and look for me under individual dares. Tamara Mickel Nelson

Holiday pantomime NEIL HARROWER

Showdown at the hoedown Thurs through Sat December 2 - 4 at 7:30 p.m. matinee performances on Sat and Sun at 2:00 p.m.

SUBMITTED

Adham Shaikhs performs at Spiritbar on Nov 25 as part of the IMTV LIVE! presentation.

The Capitol Theatre’s Christmas Pantomime is an annual indicator that the holiday season is just around the corner. There’s snow on Elephant Mountain, they’ve decorated Wal Mart and TV commercials are selling oversized Toblerones, straightto-video Disney movies and Dora the Explorer with her fascinating accessories. Yes, its true its been one year and hitting the stage to kick it all off, are an assortment of local community members dressing in drag and singing their hearts out. The Capitol Christmas Pantomime has been a tradition in Nelson since 1987 and you can’t swing a cat in this town without hitting someone who has been in past productions (or knows someone who has). Many have donned frilly gowns and pink puffy skirts, sometimes even women. The outlandish makes room for the outrageous over 5 performances from Thursday December 2 through Sunday December 4th. Last season the Capitol Christmas Panto featured an hilarious performance by local musician / actor / radio host, Craig Korth, in the role of the Emperor in “The Emperors New Clothes”. Recent past productions have included “Red Riding Hood”, “Sleeping Beauty” and “Snow White”. This year,s offering is a bit of a departure. “Showdown at the Hoedown”, an English-style Pantomime written by Ed Lee, is directed by Laurie Jarvis. Laurie has directed the majority of the pantomimes over the

years and while being an accomplished director and vocalist, is also the curator of the Norma Vecchio Costume Collection at the Capitol. Laurie is also the Costume Designer along with Assistant Director and Costumer, Leslie Dickinson. Choreographed by Hannah Jarvis-Lingard and Francesca Defeo with Stage and Production Management by Terry Brennan, “Showdown at the Hoedown” promises to be a wild ride of colourful, entertaining song and dance for the whole family. Set in the Wild West there’s a hoedown coming up and dame Calamity Boone (played by David Gray) wants to look her best. Unfortunately, Calamity Boones’ jewels have been stolen by Lawless L. Larue (Kevan Musa) and his sidekick Heinz (Rob Andrew). The new Sheriff, Will Barrow (Shyloe Fayad), forces a showdown with Lawless in hopes of impressing the beautiful Elli May (Laura Hyde). And if that isn’t enough, there’s added confusion from snake-oil salesman Conrad Bilker (Michael Calladine) and his accomplice Honest John (Bob Hall); and from Judge Drury (Bruce Ormond) who cheats at cards. Then there’s the troublesome barmaid, Ruby (Lois Warthe). Silly songs, corny jokes and plenty of western flavour abound in “Showdown at the Hoedown!” Be prepared to have a laugh, just maybe you’ll audition for next year’s production? Come on fellas out there, you know you want to wear a dress in front of the whole town. C’mon, admit it. Tickets are $15 adult $10 student/senior and $45 for a family of four. Charge by phone 250-352-6363. Buy your tickets online at www.capitoltheatre.bc.ca.

States of Unrest is a mixed-media exhibition with photography, video and performance, featuring the work of Amber Santos, Brian Cullen, Maria Sandner, and Sabrina Ovensen. Amber Santos is a graffiti artist with a strong interest in homelessness and has apassion for the engagement of street art. She wants her art to provoke discussion. She and her Brazilian husband call themselves the inQuietoZ crew. “Inquietoz means restless, maybe slightly uncomfortable, on that edge where transformation might happen,” she explains. “I feel a constant restlessness and slight agitation, a reluctance to sit still for too long.” “When speaking with friends and family I notice a discomfort around the subject of homelessness. What I am seeking is the possibility of transformation in this zone of discomfort, a transformation made possible by speaking about things.” Her pieces are made from discarded cardboard, duct tape and spray paint. States of Unrest exhibits her documented installations on the streets of downtown Nelson: illustrations of characters

sleeping, and hands that could be asking or offering support. “The act of placing these pieces on the street is also uncomfortable. Questions immediately arise because they look like they are painted right on the walls. Is it allowed? Is it illegal? Is it vandalism? We notice an officer observing our actions and taking note.” Some of the photographs show the pieces after a day and a night in the rain. Some are intact, others are battered, one is completely gone. Santos reflects, “This reminds me of the fragility of our own humanity. I left them to their destiny on the streets.” Drop by the Centre during gallery hours, Wednesday through Saturday from 1-5 pm.

Whole lotta love The Led Zeppelin Show Sat. Nov. 27th. 9 p.m. at Finley’s, 705 Vernon St.

Electric, gripping and explosive, ‘The Led Zeppelin Show’ presents a straight-up, noholds barred portrayal of Led Zeppelin that will undoubtedly leave you speechless. From the dynamic onstage presence to the detail of the instrumentation and wardrobe, ‘The Led Zeppelin Show’ pays sincere homage

to Zeppelin’s powerful, unmistakable sound. Composed of dedicated Led Zeppelin acolytes, all the members of ‘The Led Zeppelin Show’ are very close to the actual ages of the real members when they formed the band in 1968 and as a result, they not only have the look and sound but also all the energy, power and testosterone to recreate the mindblowing experience of an actual live Led Zeppelin concert.

Jo Brown and Tom Bradley at Cowan’s Digital imagery artists Jo Brown and Tom Bradley admit they are bewitched by the wild places of Scotland. Twice in recent years, for about two months each time, they’ve taken photo excursions there, and they’ve brought back thousands of pictures. At home in Winlaw, Jo and Tom review their pictures through the television, and the work of sorting becomes a ritual pleasure as they recall what moved them to take that picture, and share processing views. Jo edits and prints the images, and Tom recycles a dead white pine into frames, for a combination of matted

and glass-framed pictures, and stretched-canvas pieces. It takes both of them to stretch and straighten the images reproduced on larger canvases. Scotland is on display at Cowan’s for the month of November. It features a wide sampling of images of surreal landscapes, nature, and time worn structures of wood, stone and brick. The artists involved Cowan’s suspended ceiling to hang images taken in a natural cave. Jo Brown’s website is www.wallshots.ca.

The moment I moved to six mile, I knew I’d found a special place and that it was no accident that I’d arrived. I’m a slave to its pure tender flow and have grown to feel honoured to be a part of this precious community. Six milers are their own breed. No one ever hesitates to lend a hand and help a neighbour. This is a people driven village swinging in perfect balance between mountain and magic. I wasn’t here long before I witnessed the natural harvest of native fruit, which inspired the six mile pie. I was walking down the path to the beach last summer, when I spied cherries: sour and black. As I walked further, I was assaulted by the thorns of the thimbleberry. There are invasive Himalayan blackberries all over and rhubarb in the spring. I have preserved all the fruit this year as it’s ripened and after sourcing �� the best apples, a six fruit pie is born. You can substitute where you must but I challenge local foodies to take this on and reap our bounty in all its authentic regional beauty. The pie begins with mom’s famous pastry dough.

cians welcome. The Moving Centre, 533A Baker St. Info 352-3319 Judy.

Begin layering fruit in the pie shell. Apples on the bottom, then cherries , then thimbleberries then a layer of rhubarb and top with blackberries. Top berries with 1/4 cup sugar. Put lid on. Cut a plus sign in the middle of the pie and peel back each corner to make a window. Brush with remaining egg white and bake at 375 for one hour.

Ghosts of hockey’s past I expect ghosts will be walking the aisles of the Civic Centre this weekend as we celebrate seventy-five years of sports activities in the old arena. There are those who will tell about hard-fought hockey games when over-flow crowds watched the senior Leafs battle teams from Trail and other Kootenay communities for bragging rights as league champions. There are even some who remember Dinah Shore’s team from Los Angles competing in the Civic Arena. The Patrick boys had gone on to fame in other leagues by the ‘30’s, but three generations of the Gare family fought for personal honours and team trophies with the Leafs, either juniors or seniors, since then. Other local boys who went on to

been thinkin’ about George Millar success with NHL or other professional leagues got their start in the old barn. Some young men whose junior careers brought them here also later saw action in the NHL. Of course the Arena was used for more than just hockey. Other ice related events, as well as many not requiring an ice surface, have occurred there. Many long-time local residents have memories of events that were special to them. Retired optometrist Ivan Laughton relates a

boyhood experience that is undoubtedly unique. While checking out the building site after workers had gone home, he fell into an excavation, and spent considerable time considering his immediate future before he was rescued. Memorabilia from the glory years of the Vernon Street facility is on display in the new arena, but banners marking past championships and tributes to locals who played in the NHL still hang in the old building. Special events begin Friday afternoon, and Saturday’s activities start with a pancake breakfast at 8 AM and finish with the 7 PM KIJHL game between the Leafs and the Castlegar Rebels. It should be an exciting weekend.

George Millar is a long-time resident of the West Kootenay. Been Thinking About is an exploration of events and organizations in the region, seen from a senior’s perspective.

Backcountry Skiing Canada launches “expose yourself” November 09, 2010 (Nelson, B.C.) With the snowline creeping down the mountains and pre-season stoke hitting a feverish pitch, Andrew Creighton and Brad Steele of Nelson, BC (the team behind www. backcountryskiingcanada. com) are set to launch a friendly competition with some mind-blowing prizes. The comp. is all about getting people to share their stories of backcountry adventure on the site’s Forums (which are here, for online readers). The more people share, the more the site can help promote fun and safety in the backcountry. Judges will be looking at a few things in selecting the contest winners: storytelling ability, photo/videography, stoke, and quality of info. Contestants have to sign up for the forums, create a post including a photo/video and 100 words (these are minimums), name the post, and submit it. That’s it! People may enter as many times as they want, with each “story” or trip report counting as one entry into the competition. “The best part of it

is that people entering are contributing to the site for the enjoyment of everyone. These contributions will add to the knowledge base for the future. It’s not just a one-off photo that people will hang on their wall,” said Creighton. Andrew and Brad have worked with their partners to offer up some amazing loot for the winners: First prize is a day of cat skiing and lodging for two at Retallack Lodge; second prize is a new set of Black Diamond Justice skis and Fritschi Plus touring bindings from ROAM in Nelson; next prize is a 3-day AST avalanche course, meal vouchers and Whitewater day passes for two; next prize is a Dakine Tactic backcountry touring pack from Valhalla Pure. “We’ve poked around a bit to compare our contest with some of the others from ski magazines and other outfits. We are ecstatic about the prizes our partners are offering. The only drawback is that we aren’t allowed to enter ourselves!” Creighton added. Backcountryskiingcanada. com is rolling into its second season now and features descriptions of various backcountry ski routes (a total of almost

84!) throughout BC and Alberta. This number has more than tripled the total from last season. Site visitors can check out links to avalanche information on different regions, route descriptions of varying detail, gear reviews and current trip reports. The site represents one of many tools to which people can refer when they head into the backcountry powder. “We always encourage people to check the detailed avalanche reports on the Canadian Avalanche Centre website, and even consider hiring a professional ski guide if they aren’t familiar with the terrain,” commented Steele. “We’re happy to provide a lot of the necessary information for ski tourers, but it’s really the responsibility of the individual to do all the information gathering needed to be smart and safe out there.” For more information contact: Andrew Creighton at: 250 551 0305 or ac@bac kcountryskiingcanada.com 0r Brad Steele at: 250 352 1806 or info@backcountry skiingcanada.com

Selkirk’s Travis Herlein named BCIHL Player of the Week Selkirk College forward Travis Herlein has been named the British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League’s Player of the Week for the week ending Sunday, November 14th, the league announced Monday. Herlein was Selkirk’s top performer during a twogame Interior road swing that saw them come close to collecting points against BCIHL powerhouses Thompson Rivers and Okanagan. On Friday, the 21-year old scored a pair of goals in Selkirk’s 8-5 defeat to the TRU WolfPack. One night later, at Okanagan, he netted another pair - including a third period marker that brought his team within one -- in an eventual 4-3 loss to the Coyotes. He finished the weekend with four goals in two games. Herlein now leads the Saints in scoring with six goals and eight points through 10 games. He joined the team via the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Golden Rockets, where he scored 23 goals and 43 points during the 2009/10 season. Selkirk College is next in action the weekend of November 27th when they travel to the Lower Mainland to face Trinity Western and the University of the Fraser Valley.
