Birthe Wilson Achtner has a friendly conversation with Jack Layton while MP Alex Atamanenko looks on.

Jack Layton, NDP leader, recently passed away. He visited this community on August 13, 2005 to support Alex Atamanenko, the NDP contender for Parliment.

Birthe Wilson Achtner (pictured above) reflects on her interaction with the late Jack Layton. “In August of 2005, I had the pleasure of meeting Jack Layton when he visited Nelson. Alex Atamanenko introduced me to Jack and we talked for a few minutes. Jack’s warmth and ability to connect with people came through and I still remember that feeling and the hug he gave me. I’m truly saddened that we have lost such a man. His time as the Leader of the Opposition was all too short. He will be missed for his genuine wish to improve the lives of average Canadians including the homeless and the elderly. Also his ability to get straight to the point without being rude, and his work towards achieving more civility in Parliament are something I personally shall miss.” See more photos of his visit, page 7

Check out two area gallery/museums free, through your Library (submitted) The more we get together the happier we’ll be, goes the song—and the Nelson Public Library agrees. The Library has partnered with Touchstones Nelson: Museum of Art and History in Nelson, and Kootenay Gallery of Art in Castlegar to give Library members a taste of these great places—and all it takes is a Library card. Touchstones Nelson and Kootenay Gallery have provided the Library with trial passes good for three weeks that may be checked out just like a book. The pass allows the holder free access to the institutions to see art shows and historical displays. “We’re delighted with this partnership,” says Chief Librarian June Stockdale. “It’s in line with our draft strategic plan, and it opens wonderful new doors for our members.” Touchstones Nelson, at the corner of Ward and Vernon Streets, resides in a beautiful 1902 building that served as a customs house, post office, museum, and Nelson City Hall before its final transformation in 2006. It now houses a state-ofthe-art permanent interpretive historic exhibition, two

professional gallery spaces, and a local archives collection. Gallery A is showing two exhibitions, Night and Day: Clothes vs Evening Wear and Ideas for Change beginning September 3; Gallery B features an exhibition entitled Heartlab Presents Re-surface beginning August 27th. Kootenay Gallery features two exhibition spaces for contemporary art and hosts professional touring and regional exhibitions by noted artists working in all disciplines. The gallery is situated across from the Castlegar airport, adjacent to the Doukhobor Discovery Centre. Current exhibitions are Message from the Beetle by Wells artist Claire Kujundzik, an artist’s response to forestry concerns, and Building the Building: Building Community, a photographic story by Marcia Braundy, curated by Helen Sebelius, a celebration of the Vallican Whole. The gallery giftshop features the work of local artists and craftspeople. The new passes may be checked out like any library item, and if on loan they may be placed on reserve.

Rescue harvest program takes surplus fruits and vegetables Now that summer is well underway and the gardens are planted, you may be looking at your yard wondering how you will deal with all of it. Spread the abundance by donating your surplus veggies and fruits to the Harvest Rescue Program, operating for its 5th year. Harvest Rescue has many benefits. Once arrangements are made with our Coordinator, trained volunteer pickers will come to your yard and harvest fruit trees, nut and berry bushes, a section of your garden any area that you have registered. Typically, 1/3 of the harvest will go to you, 1/3 to the Nelson Food Cupboard and 1/3 to the volunteers. It is crucial that you advance register your tree with Loray at Harvest Rescue 250-

551-8343 (VEGE) to ensure available pickers and that the fruit isn’t overripe. Advance booking is also very important to reduce interactions with bears, keeping the bears as well as residents safe. Please note that we cannot accept worm-infested, wind fallen, bruised or slashed fruit. Fresh surplus produce of any kind or Grow-A-Row donations can also be dropped off at the Food Cupboard Mondays and Wednesdays 9 a.m. to 12 a.m. and Thursday from 12 a.m. to 2 p.m. We are grateful for our volunteers who are the key to this program’s success. Interested volunteers can email harvestrescue@gmail. com or sign up on our website at harvestrescue.org

Local press launches pamphlet A new pamphlet from Argenta Friends Press looks at civil disobedience from a Quaker perspective. Kenneth Hone’s Awake and Aware was inspired by last summer’s G8/G10 demonstrations in Toronto, Ontario. Hone is a practicing Quaker and he explores activism through the lens of faith. This short work is both a careful analysis and a call to action. Hone urges readers to “be a champion and stand up for those who are unable to stand up for themselves. Stand up for the oppressed at home and abroad.” Argenta Friends Press, located in British Columbia, Canada, publishes magazines, chapbooks and pamphlets on a variety of topics. For more information or to order contact the press: www.quakerpress.ca, email argentapress@gmail.com or phone 250-366-4314.

CHANGE: What’s in it for you? A Community Matters Exhibit Opening reception: Friday, Sept. 2, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Touchstones Nelson: Museum of Art and History is located at Change is the 2011 Community Matters exhibit, a series of exhibits exploring current issues of interest and relevance to our community. Did you know that on April 2, 2007, Leaf Rapids, Manitoba (population approximately 600) became the first community in Canada to ban plastic bags in retail stores? From bike sharing to composting, the Change exhibit will feature efforts like this that are immediate and accessible. Although seemingly small in relation to the scale of the problem, individual and local action is an important step in addressing climate change. Also featured will be

an exciting in-gallery contest, Ideas for Change, a showcase of local ideas addressing climate change. Visitors to the gallery will be given a coin that they can either choose to keep, or put towards the entry of their choice. All entries can keep the change they collect, and the entry from each age category (under 18, 18+) that accumulates the most money will be given an additional cash prize at the end of the exhibit. Change will run to November 20, 2011. Touchstones Nelson: Museum of Art and History is located at 502 Vernon Street. For information call 250-352-9813.

Ernest Hekkanen launches two new books at the Nelson Library Canadian novelist and playwright Bill Gaston has dubbed Nelson’s Ernest Hekkanen—author of no less than 43 books of fiction, poetry, plays, essays, and literary criticism— Canadian literature’s “most resolute maverick.” Editor-in-Chief of the literary journal The New Orphic Review in addition to his own writing projects, Hekkanen is a formidable force. According to B.C. Bookworld editor Alan Twigg’s website www.abcbookworld.com, “Seriously comic,

fabulist, theatrical, iconoclastic and shrewd, Ernest Hekkanen is a literary outsider by temperament and necessity but probably not by choice. He has done too much, too well, too fast, too independently, too far away from Ontario, to be fashionable.” Nelson is certainly far from Ontario, and Ernest Hekkanen is far from ordinary, and both could be said to be good things. This double book launch celebrates the work of Nelson’s most prolific author. (submitted)

OBITUARY

Gerald Walter “Gerry” Koehle It is with deep sadness his family announces the sudden passing of our beloved Gerry Koehle on August 13, 2011 in Kelowna, BC after a brief but valiant fight with cancer. Gerry was born in Regina, Saskatchewan on February 9, 1934 and moved with his family to Trail, BC where they resided until 1944, when the family moved to Nelson. Gerry was proud of his hockey career as a goalie. He played junior hockey for the Lethbridge Native Sons, as well as playing for the Hibbing Flyers in Hibbing, Minnesota. Later in his career he played for various teams including Nelson, Trail, Spokane and Rossland ending his career with the Nelson Maple Leafs. The Nelson Maple Leafs went on to win the Savage cup with Gerry in goal and Gerry also attained the W.I.H.L most valuable goalie award. Gerry met Jeannine Couture on a blind date in 1966 and they were married shortly thereafter. Together they built a house in Nelson where he resided until his passing. They had three daughters, Monique, Nadine

and Yvette. Gerry loved his work as a sheet metal worker and put pride and patience into everything he made. He joined his father and brother at Koehle & Son Sheet Metal and Heating, which Gerry continued to run until his retirement in 2002, putting in 45 years with the business. Outside of work Gerry had a passion for sports and the outdoors including curling as well as golfing which he continued up until two weeks before his passing. He loved to spend time at his cabin at Queen’s Bay, floating in the water, throwing rocks with the grandchildren and playing cards with “The Wilsons”. This truly was his favorite place to be. Gerry could also be found making his way around town walking his beloved dog Bridgette, stopping for conversation and dog biscuits along the way. Predeceased by his brother Red, sister-in-law Gene, parents Fred and Lena and a sister in infancy Ruth. He will be forever remembered by his loving wife Jeannine, daughters Monique (Wayne), Nadine

(Brian) and Yvette (Peter) together with his “little stars”, his grandchildren – Nathan and Nicholas Tonogai, Adam and Sam Ross, Kaylee and Cole Shukin and of course his little dog Bridgette. He will also be remembered by his two brothers Fritz (Dolly) and Bob (Rosina) Koehle along with multiple nieces and nephews. A celebration of Gerry’s life will take place on Saturday September 3, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. at the Bethel Christian Center – 623 Gordon Rd. Nelson, BC with reception to follow at The New Grand Hotel – 616 Vernon St. Nelson BC. In lieu of flowers family and friends may make donations to the SPCA Nelson Branch – 520-C Falls St. Nelson, BC V1L 6B5 as Gerry was always an animal lover, or charity of choice. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Thompson Funeral Service Ltd. Online condolences may be expressed at www.thompsonfs.ca

What did you do on your summer vacation? The first day of the school year children often have to write an essay entitled, “What did you do on your summer vacation.” This question brings a sense of joy, excitement and curiosity to M the speaker and listener. It gives you a moment to reflect on the fading season and hopefully brings a smile to your face to as we face our upcoming winter. We are curious how our community spent their valuable time while the “living is easy”. What did you do? What made your summer unique? What made your holidays memorable?

To take this weeks survey click here: www.surveymonkey.com/s/85DHv92 The deadline for submitting responses to these surveys is noon, Thursday September 1st. We will present the results of this week’s surveys in our next Update. If you have an idea for a survey question, please fill out our continuous survey by clicking here: www.surveymonkey.com/s/T2XX392

THE ANSWERS TO LAST WEEKS SURVEY Would $1,000,000 affect your life?

Yes 77.8%

No 22.2%

Your Comments THANKS, maybe sometime there will be a $1,00,000 prize for the best survey answer! HONESTLY anyone who doesn’t think that a million dollars woudn’t effect them, is either delusional or in such sound financial situation that it wouldn’t even pay off any debts because there are none to be paid off. MONEY doesn’t guarantee happiness, but then neither does poverty.

The Kootenay Express Update Building Community Since 1988 554 Ward Street Nelson, BC V1L 1S9 250-354-3910 Nelson Becker, Publisher

This week’s EXPRESS UPDATE was produced by: Nelson Becker Robin Murray Erica Fletcher

The Kootenay Express Update is produced by Kootenay Express Communications Corp. in Nelson BC. The purpose of the Update is to provide a media for the Nelson

and area community. If you do not wish to receive the Update, simply send an empty email to unsubscribe@expressnews.ca You will receive a confirmation email

in return with instructions on how to complete your removal from our list. If you have any questions, send them to express-update-owner@expressnews.ca

Frequently Asked Questions How did you get my email address? The emails that we use for the Kootenay Express Update are emails of people who have done business with the Express Newspaper or are emails we have received by personal request to be on our list. What is the purpose of the Kootenay Express Update? The purpose of the Kootenay Express Update is to provide the service of a community newspaper with such features as an events calendar, classifieds, opinions, diversions, for the greater community of Nelson and area. How can my friends receive the Kootenay Express Update? You can send your friends our email and they can respond with the word “subscribe”, or “newsletter” or “update”. What is the privacy policy of The Express? We will never share your email with anyone outside of The Express. We feel

you are part of our family. Is The Express open for Editorial Submissions? Yes. We also want to support the nonprofits of our community and we welcome their editorial submissions. What happened to The Express Newspaper? The Express Newspaper existed as a print version for 22 years, but it could no longer compete against the big corporations for advertising. We are committed to being of community service and we are now in the process of creating the Kootenay Express Update as an alternative to the print copy. There are obvious benefits to an electronic Express Newspaper. We don’t have any printing costs or post office distribution costs. There is less restriction on space. Recipients can print out the pages that they so desire. There are also some disadvantages. Not everybody is internet connected. Reading off a screen is a different

experience than reading off of paper. The Express Update seems to me to be a valuable way to publicize my business. How do I place advertising in the update? We are still working on this because in setting a price for advertising we want to assure ourselves, and you, that you are getting the correct value for your dollars. We encourage you to get in touch with us so that we may begin this discussion with interested local businesses. How does the Kootenay Express Update support itself? At the moment, that’s a very good question. The Kootenay Express Update lives on a subsidy that it is receives from me, Nelson Becker. In the future, the Update will have to support itself. We are in the process of determining advertising value, as well as looking at other methods of raising the necessary funds.
