Energy action plan
City Council commissioned, and approved, the Community Energy and Emissions Action Plan. The plan builds on Nelson’s compact character to recommend specific strategies that will strengthen the resilience of the community by minimizing environmental threats of global warming. It looks at all major energy sectors, including land use, transportation, buildings, energy supply, solid waste and community-wide priorities. Currently, Nelson residents and businesses are spending approximately $5,150 per household on energy. While future energy prices are difficult to predict, most long-term projections show large increases, with the price of fuel and electricity likely doubling by 2030. Rising costs, combined with increasing population, could bring annual energy costs to an average of $15,000 per household by 2040. Submitted by the City of Nelson

Kootenay team receives national award A team of diverse partners in the Kootenay region taking action to reduce the cosmetic use of pesticides has been recognized with a prestigious national award from the Canadian Cancer Society called the Circle of Distinction. The local team, who together formed the Pesticide Free Columbia Basin network is comprised of Canadian Cancer Society volunteers and staff, local government stakeholders, physicians, community coalitions and partners including Wildsight, Prevent Cancer Now, and Kootenay
Citizens for Alternatives Pesticides. For the past five years, this team has effectively advanced the effort to create strong cosmetic pesticide legislation in BC. Last year, the network launched an educational website at www.pesticidefreecolumbiabasin. com to raise awareness about the potential risks of pesticides and healthier lawn and garden practices. In the region, five municipalities including the City of Nelson have adopted bylaws restricting the use of cosmetic pesticides.

Break, enter and theft reported Help the skate park take form On Sunday October 9, 2011 at approximately 9 a.m., a report of a residential break and enter on 2nd Street in Salmo was received. Salmo RCMP responded and requested the assistance of the Nelson Rural RCMP, Forensic Identification Section and the Police Dog Service unit. While securing the residence for evidence examination, another report was received that three males had just attempted to break into a garage on Davies Ave. in Salmo. Salmo RCMP immediately responded and arrested 3 male subjects near the scene. The 3 individuals are all under the age of 18 and their names can-
not be released. A number of different items were seized from the males and the criminal investigation is ongoing. All three male subjects were later released (into the custody of adults) on Promise to Appear documents to attend Nelson Provincial Court on January 10, 2012. Anyone with information on these occurrences are asked to phone the Salmo RCMP Detachment at (250) 357-2212. Or contact CRIMESTOPPERS at 1800-222-TIPS.

McTavish-Mint’s feltscapes at Nelson Library
Just as fall leaves and add colour and texture to our landscape, the felted fibre landscapes of Lindsey McTavish-Mint add colourful texture to the walls at the Nelson Municipal Library. McTavish Mint’s exhibition, Feltscapes, will brighten the library through November. Fiber artist Lindsey McTavishMint studied textile design at the Kootenay school of Arts in Nelson, followed by two years at the International Academy of design in Toronto where she received her diploma in Fashion Design. Having a passion for all things fiber and textile, as well as a love of the Canadian landscape, Lindsey creates “feltscapes”, felted scenes reminiscent of works by the Group of Seven and inspired her family’s island in Bayfield Inlet. Works in this show traverse the four seasons with titles such as March Storm, Poppies, Fall Birches, and Afternoon Ski, among others. These small works are complemented by the large, atmospheric Night at the Gorge. All of McTavish-Mint’s “feltscapes” work with hand-felted pieces and stitchery to create multi-dimensional depth and drama.

Chloe Sage and Casey Hicks seek shelter in a box to raise awareness to the affordable housing dilema of Nelson
Boxed-in by affordable housing crisis On Thursday, Oct. 13 at Ward and Baker St. a group of individuals moved into cardboard box houses to bring attention to the affordable housing crisis that Nelson faces. “We have solutions.” Says Chloe Sage, a organizer of the Nelson Housing Initiative. “We need more long term use housing. Still to date we have no emergency shelter for the youth and there is a three year waiting list for the youth shelter in Nelson.” Sage continues, “The City of Nelson needs to take a proactive role.
For example, they need to relax the rules for secondary suites, they could donate city land for social housing, the city must take every offered opprotunity for provincial and federal funding for providing secure housing for vulnerable people.” The initiatives’ objective is to have the solutions implemented so people can move out of thier carboard boxes into more secure housing.

Delay Rose will be wrapping up the acoustic music show at Ellison’s Cafe and Market. Born and raised in Manitoba, Canada, Delaney experienced her first love affair with music at the age of 6 and then the dance began. It started with the exploration in her parent’s attic, where she found a dusty old guitar that had only four strings. That old guitar evolved
into her own six string guitar that no longer collects ust. Delaney writes a lot of her music from personal experiences ond those of her friends. There’s an intimicacy to her lyrics and when performed live they live with Delaney and her audience in her performances. Delaneys sound is hypnotic, breezy, and intensely personal.

It’s little wonder the buzz around John Reischman and The Jaybirds continues to grow. Like the mandolinist at its helm, the group fashions a stylish, elegant take on bluegrass that is at once innovative and unadorned, sophisticated
and stripped-down, happily old-fashioned, yet unselfconsciously new. To see their live show is to believe it. A genial blend of story-telling and side-show humor provides the backdrop to their studied performance of original songs, instrumentals, and newly arranged traditional material. Tickets are $20/$16 and are available at https://tickets.capitoltheatre. bc.ca/
Deep within the English countryside lie a number of brilliant music producers. One such unfashionable but extremely talented artist is OTT. Unique modern electro-acoustic dubs with generous spat of indigenous sounds from around the world ladled into the mix is what you can expect from his sound. But that’s not all, there are tracks that stray beautifully into different genres whilst maintaining the laid back but up beat dub vibe that we know and love. Add that to the usual mind-blowing production, arrangement, song writing skills and jaw-dropping effects combos and you’ve got a sonic feast emanating from the speakers.

What is your opinion about corporate greed? Is corporate greed a problem? On Saturday, Oct. 15, there will be a demonstration called Occupy Nelson. This
event is based upon the Occupy Wall Street demonstration that started in New York. The participants will each have their
individual reason for being there. In general, the demonstrations are about corporate greed. The demonstrators say corporations do what
is best for their stockholders and not what is best for their community. We want to know if you agree or disagree.

www.surveymonkey.com/s/OccupyNelson The deadline for submitting responses to these surveys is noon, Thursday October 6. We will present the results of this week’s survey in our next Update.
THE ANSWERS TO LAST WEEKS SURVEY Are you in favour of rural area dog control bylaws?
Yes 66.7%
No 33.3%
ONE day on Fisherman Road my friends and I experienced dog harassment, watched as said dog collected partners in crime and then proceeded to attack a dog that was on leash with a young family. Once everyone was safe and we identified the home of the dog, I called RCMP and was told that there is nothing they can do to help because of the lack of bylaws. The constable informed me that it is not illegal to shoot a dog that is threatening. So when I’m biking or walking in Blewett and roaming dogs charge and bark, I’m supposed to carry a gun to feel safe? Personally I’d think it safer for the community to call it in. LOOSE dogs are extremely hazardous to bicyclists!
AS a rural dog owner: There is no need for dog bylaws in rural areas. Single incidents happen but in 99% dogs pose no problems. And if any issues, neighbors can figure things out between themselves. ALTHOUGH I like dogs, my family doesn’t have one, but all our neighbours do. I am sick of having to pick up the piles of poop left behind by these wandering dogs and cleaning up the mess after they dig holes all over my yard. Dog owners need to be responsible for their pets. I feel dogs should be kept on owners property. Fencing in is a good idea. My neighbour has 3 dogs all fenced in, never seen them out and about out of control.

Are you in favour of rural area 6dog control 8 7 bylaws?9 5
I am in favour of rural dog bylaws, but I checked the “no” box because the proposed bylaws have some major flaws, such as requiring dogs to be leashed whenever they are not on your property. “Under the owners control at all times” would be more appropriate. I’ve met off-leash dogs that were kept under better control than some leashed ones. Also, this 7 day period before destroying a dog could be easily abused. With fines as high as $200 it might take a struggling family longer than 7 days

Commentary The first week back in the legislature started October 3 with the Speech from the Throne. While the Lieutenant Governor (the Queen’s representative in BC) delivers the speech, he is in fact reading the words put forward by the Premier’s office. Most commonly these speeches are delivered at the beginning of the Winter/Spring Session, as it lays out the governments legislative agenda for the upcoming year. However, this Fall the current Liberal Premier decided to make her mark, commencing with a Throne Speech. As your MLA, I expected to hear a full legislative agenda after sitting only 24 days in the prior 16 months. There’s much work to be done! However, the only legislative item noted in the Throne Speech was installing Family Day in 2013. There was a lot of talk about jobs and the economy, but nothing new and nothing that’s needed to back up the Premier’s jobs plan
Dear Editor, Our fair city is taking part in a global occupation of public spaces which started with “Occupy Wall Street” in New York City. Like cities all over the world, people are gathering on October 15th. “Occupy Nelson” is part of this unified cause; there has been too much unchecked greed in this world. Not enough
has been done to mitigate its effects on working peoples (blue and white collar), the environment, social programs, and free enterprise for everyone. It is high time for the world to recognize this in a way which starts more dialogue about solutions. Josh Wapp Nelson, BC

Opinion&Editorial Publisher’s Note: Nelson Becker
Occupy Nelson It is not about capitalism, It is about greed. Greed is a form of hoarding. Hoarding is a disease and is a symptom of fear. We can never fix greed by legislation or by changing political parties. Prohibition did not end alcohol use but education drastically reduced its abuse. Greed is like a drug problem. Outlawing it won’t make it go away but dealing with it and changing peoples mindset is the only way to move ahead. The consequences of
greed affect us all, the 99 percent as well as one percent. We all breathe the same air, drink the same water and take the same drugs. In our society there is tremendous difference between rich and poor and that must be more equalized. I will be at City Hall on Saturday, Oct. 15 at 1 p.m. both as a documentarian as well as a participant. I do not pretend to be perfect or to not be a hypocrite. Yet, this does not mean I shouldn’t strive for a better world and a better self.
