Nelson Star, November 20, 2015

The Regional District of Central Kootenay has decided to change its new recycling bins in rural Nelson by mak-ing the openings larger and by joining the hole and slot to allow for the inser-tion of awkwardly shaped items.

This decision at Wednesday’s waste recovery committee meeting follows the introduction a month ago of new closed bins with small holes and slots for insertion of recycling items. Those replaced open bins into which residents put full blue bags of recycling.

“The transition has been problem-atic,” resource recovery manager Mike Morrison told regional directors at the

meeting. “We saw a lot of dumping of blue bags, although this has subsided somewhat. We have received nega-tive comments from residents having trouble adjusting.”

Morrison said his staff recently sur-veyed 438 rural residents about the new recycling system and found that 11 per cent are satisfied, 39 per cent are neutral, 20 per cent don’t like it, two per cent said they are no longer going to recycle, and 19 per cent had no comment.

Enlarging the holes in the bins will cost the regional district about $5,000. It was revealed at the meeting that the sizes of the holes are not consistent among bins at different locations, mak-ing some more inconvenient for the

public than others.A staff memo presented at the meet-

ing presented the pros and cons of in-creasing the sizes of the bin openings:

Pros:• Perceived convenience• Larger items can be disposed of

without breaking them down• May reduce time taken to dispose

of recylables.Cons:• It may allow more uncompacted

material so bins fill up quicker will less material, raising costs

• Increased probability of contami-nation which can result in garbage, dirty materials, excess moisture, and hazardous waste which in turn lead to materials being rejected at the pro-

cessing facility and loads being taken to the landfill

• Attraction of wildlife to the bins.• Cost to the RDCK to modify the

bins.The recent bin changes have taken

place in the rural areas around Salmo, Nelson, and Kaslo. Other areas in the regional district — the Creston Valley, East Shore, Slocan Valley, Arrow Lakes, and rural Castlegar — have used closed bins with small openings since 2011.

Some directors from those other areas seemed puzzled by the problem. Directors Larry Binks (rural Creston) and Andy Davidoff (rural Castlegar) said when their area switched to closed bins in 2011 there were few complaints.

Jess Sashaw and Charlotte Swanson of Vancouver’s Science World are touring the province giving 45-minute shows about science to school kids and appeared Tuesday morning at Nelson’s Hume school. This presentation was about weather. “It’s so great, we meet new kids everyday,” says Swanson. “It is usually a short interaction but we try to bring open inquiry into our shows, asking lots of questions to get them thinking about the science all around them.” The most startling demonstration of the morning was a recreation of a huge fireball (which had dissipated somewhat by the time the camera caught it) from heat, oxygen and a very tiny amount of fuel. Grade 4 student Ava Montgomery helped out with the demonstration. See more photos page 30.

Nelson conservation officer honouredNelson conservation officer Jason

Hawkes has received a lifesaving com-mendation for his role in rescuing a family from a sinking boat near the Kaslo village campground on June 30.

“Our guys in the field help people all the time,” Hawkes said, after receiving the award at the legislature this month. “To see recognition for that is a great thing.”

Hawkes was working on Kootenay Lake when he overheard the RCMP requesting assistance. A family of four was in a sink-ing boat.

“Conditions on the lake were very windy and wavy,” the citation reads. “When Hawkes heard the only assistance available to help rescue the family wasn’t scheduled to depart from Kaslo Marina for about 20 minutes, he decided to head in the direction of the incident.”

He quickly located the family — two kids and two adults — who were waist-deep in water. They were wearing personal flotation devices but due to the distance it’s unlikely

they would have been able to swim to shore.Hawkes helped the four individuals out of

the water and returned them safely to shore.After the ceremony Hawkes said he

would do it again.

“Any of these officers would’ve done the same thing. It’s just what we do. I was fortunate to be be able to help that family that day.”

The ceremony was also an opportunity to celebrate an anniversary, Hawkes said.

“I’m honoured to be here at the legis-lature on the 110th anniversary of the BC Conservation Service.”

During the presentation environment minister Mary Polak praised Hawkes and his compatriots, saying she’s “extremely proud of the dedication our officers show in protecting both public safety and the environment.”

Chief conservation officer Doug Forsdick welcomed the news that henceforth Nov. 4 will be proclaimed Conservation Officer Day.

“Conservation officers across the prov-ince work tirelessly around-the-clock to minimize human-wildlife conflicts and pro-tect our environment,” he said. “Recognizing the dedication and service that our officers provide to British Columbians…is a special honour that is very well-earned.”

Cottonwood Market stalls to be torn down next week

Nelson city council agreed Monday to pay $12,000 to Cover Architecture, a Nelson compa-ny, to develop a plan for a new Cottonwood Market and to tear down the existing structure this month so new buildings may be in place by the next market sea-son.

The $12,000 would come from the city’s consulting fees budget, and the cost of the buildings (upwards of $100,000) would be raised by the West Kootenay EcoSociety, which runs the mar-ket in the city-owned structures. It was reported at council a local business intends to contribute significantly to building the new structures, but no other details were given.

These plans will proceed a few steps ahead of the overall planning process for Railtown, which includes the market. But the Railtown plan will not be finished until May. This week’s staff recommendations to council stated that a design for a market “can be completed that does not impact the larger Railtown revi-talization planning work.”

The proposal by Cover Architecture, which is attached to the online version of this story at nelsonstar.com and which does not yet have actual drawings, in-cludes the following features:

• Approximately 2,000 square feet (186 square meters) of cov-ered area for vendors and pedes-trian circulation.

• Two durable washrooms with the potential for use beyond market hours.

• A lockable facilities mainte-nance room and storage area for management use.

• A covered bandshell that includes electrical services and a

lockable storage area.• Audience seating incorpo-

rated into the landscape that may or may not be covered.

• A play area.Additional considerations:• Potential protective fencing

along Cottonwood Creek.• Space for additional formal

(paying) market vendors in prox-imity to the covered market stalls.

• Space for informal (non-pay-ing) market vendors in proximity to the covered market stalls.

• Pedestrian and vehicular cir-culation on and around the site.

• Pedestrian and vehicular connections between the market site and the remainder of Nelson.

• Relationships between the new market and surround-ing properties, including Cottonwood Park and other city properties.

The Cover Architecture pro-posal adds that future expansion could include additional covered and uncovered vending spots, fu-ture parking needs, and storage capacity for vendors.

Councillor Anna Purcell asked a question never asked at

previous council discussions of the current market structures: “Exactly how are they danger-ous?”

Mayor Deb Kozak responded that city public works staff had declared the structures dan-gerous. City manager Kevin Cormack said there is a liability issue and the only other option is to “board them up so they don’t fall down on people.” He said the EcoSociety agrees the structures are dangerous.

Councillor Robin Cherbo asked if the new structures could be made of wood. Cormack re-sponded that would be an option and that the unnamed business that has stepped forward “deals in wood.”

Councillor Michael Dailly said he is worried about taking down the structures before funding is in place to rebuild. He wondered if the city is considering contribut-ing more, since it owns the prop-erty and buildings. And council-lor Bob Adams wondered if the city should pay the full amount.

“It is our building,” he said. “Why are we not paying for the

whole thing? It is our building if it falls down and hurts somebody. Why are we waiting for someone else to fundraise for it?”

Cormack responded that the EcoSociety intends to raise money through grants and that the unnamed business contri-bution would be significant. He added that the contract would be with the city and it is public land, so ultimately council will have to approve the project design.

EcoSociety executive director David Reid, interviewed by the Star after the meeting, confirmed the EcoSociety will take on fun-draising for the construction and expects to be successful because “the market is an important in-stitution in the community, and many people want to see it suc-ceed.”

The contract with Cover Architecture is small enough that it did not have to go to ten-der, according to city policies, Cormack told the Star. He said Cover’s proposal was reviewed by the EcoSociety and city man-agement before it was brought to council.

Nelson’s annual Customer Appreciation Day returns Nov. 28, a grassroots event that has grown beyond Baker St. to include businesses you might not expect.

“This year we’ve taken it up a notch,” said organizer Mike Borch. “Traditionally this has been a retail event for downtown. It grew from the 400 block of Baker about ten years ago, and now it’s expanded to the side streets and down

the Hall St. corridor.“The vendors do

whatever they want. It’s not so much a promo-tion as a community event where businesses have a chance to thank their customers.”

That means while some locations may offer discounts, sales or special items, others will find idiosyncratic ways to show their gratitude.

“A lot of them will do giveaways and give out gift certificates. There’s also draws. The range of

businesses is extremely diverse, and so is what they offer.”

One new business participating this year is the Kootenay Carshare on Josephine St. Borch is thrilled to have them on board.

“Then down Hall St. we’ve got Sears partici-pating this year, as well as Kootenai Moon,” Borch said, adding he was unsuccessful in ex-panding into Railtown this time but hopes the event will include the

area next year.“We have a lot of the

spas involved now, and they never used to be. Plus we just had the Moon Monsters Secret Cave on Baker sign up for the first time.”

Borch has hired a local designer to brand the event. They now have a bright orange logo — two hands shak-ing in the shape of an ice cream cone — and all the information about the event exist on their website for potential customers to peruse.

“Our community that supports us here is the reason we’re all in busi-ness. This is our raison d’être.”

Borch said they cur-rently have over 40 busi-nesses participating, and it’s not too late to sign up.

Celebrating Nelson’s Barbaric Cultural Practices at Oxygen

Nelson thespian Lucas Myers is thrilled Stephen Harper is

no longer prime minister of Canada, and as host of Oxygen Art Centre’s upcoming two-night fundraiser cabaret, he plans to thumb his nose at the outgoing regime.

“It was like waking up and all our dreams came true,” said Myers, who will host the ex-travaganza as his flamboyant fashionista character Stephen the Art Star. “I’m an NDP guy, but there’s something about the energy of it, and him — Justin Trudeau — that just seems like the diametric opposite of what we had before. Suddenly the government likes the arts! They’re open, they’re talking to us!”

That wasn’t the case before.“This is a reclamation. The

Conservatives didn’t seem that into culture, they didn’t want to support it that much, so this is us thumbing our nose at them, using Harper’s term —‘barbaric cultural practices.’ You think culture is barbaric? And if not barbaric, at least you don’t like it? Well, we’re here to say it’s necessary.”

Put another way: “We’re going to practice our barbaric

cultural practices whenever we want.”

And the double-night cabaret will involve plenty of Kootenay talent, including fresh faces like L.V. Rogers students Morgan Beck, Hayden Wasylyk, Alex D. McMahon, Tyler James and Graham Lingard.

“Hayden and Alex will be doing a very funny satirical piece about a non-profit group that is highly immoral,” Myers said, noting the pair wrote and directed the skit themselves.

“They will be joined by the usual suspects: Bessie Wapp and Hiromoto Ida will be doing an excerpt from Jorinda, we’ll have Julie Johnson-Murray doing a fun song and Lindsay Clague will be presenting something for the first time.”

Myers hinted that Clague will be involved in an exciting cast-

ing announcement in the near future.

Filling out the evening will be magician Lisa Menna, as well as Eva McKimm and Laurie Jarvis. Myers’ wife Krista Lynch will perform a satirical piece in which she explores Trudeaumania.

“Oxygen fulfills a niche,” Myers said. “They give opportu-nities to artists who are emerg-ing, they provide education for people who want to see what the arts are about, and they’re com-pletely accessible. The idea is normal people can be involved and have it be a routine part of their everyday lifestyle.”

Myers said the annual cabaret is always a blast.

“We can push the boundar-ies and have fun and try stuff we wouldn’t be able to try in a more … Conservative …envi-

ronment.”Executive director Miriam

Needoba said Oxygen is one of the only rural artist collectives of its type, and it’s coming up on its 10th anniversary in the space.

“Former students are becom-ing teachers, our children are becoming artists. The idea be-hind artist-run culture is that the producers are also curating and programming and educat-ing, plus bringing in the new talent.”

Myers said there will be a joyful absurdity to the evening.

“This is a great avenue, and we’re so grateful that these per-formers are donating so much time and energy,” he said.

This year’s cabaret is being held in conjunction with Blue Night, but is a ticketed event. It begins at 8 p.m. on Nov. 27 and 28.

House and Home hits newsstandsBLACK PRESS STAFF

The fall edition of House & Home has hit Kootenay newsstands, and inside you can learn about green building, freeing yourself from clutter and the best way to store your wine.

“Knowing the average home is saturated with products and processes harmful to personal and global health, I paraphrase Dr. King to say it is no longer a choice between green building and non-green building in the world, it’s green building and non-ex-istence,” writes Nelson architect Matthew Stanley.

In his piece Building Green, Stanley goes through the different certification programs that exist locally for green building, and highlights the work of Carrie Fitzsimons and Dave Oosthuizen.

“Building green is about designing for today and for tomorrow,” he writes.

Elsewhere in the issue Laurel Collins

w r i t e s about “how to create a clean can-vas for a fresh start to anything you want”.

“Creating a clean slate means de-clutter-

ing and this includes all kinds of clutter,” she writes. “Common clutter, as well as mental and emotional clutter.”

She offers simple strategies to rid your house of the old magazines, broken toys and junk drawers.

Trisha Elliott writes about a dream home in Shutty Bench.

“This elaborate blue and white palace of pillars, turrets, angles and contours sits upon an elegant, landscaped property that extends down to a sandy beach,” she writes.

The piece includes an interview with Rick Short, owner of Red Dog Carpentry.

Elliott also writes about flooring, and interviewed Wendi Thomson of Maglio’s Building Centre.

Other stories in the issue are by Andrea Bell about winter planning and Wendy Kelly on wine storage.

House & Home is published twice a year by Black Press.

I would suggest that those so eager to post support for the “home-less and vets versus Islamic refugee” rheto-ric realize that the two are not mutually exclu-sive. It seems an obvious fact that ISIS is no more representative of Islam than the KKK is repre-sentative of Christianity. I hope they would be eager to offer their help to all those in need.

In the meantime does anyone know of a reputable organization directly dealing with Syrian refugees coming to Canada I can assist?

Nelson headaches not unique

Re: “Nelson is killing my wife,” Letters, Nov. 18

Thank you to Andrew McMonagle for sharing in his letter his wife’s problem with migraines since coming to Nelson. I myself have devel-oped a similar situation since moving here from Victoria. I now have a constant headache — feels like my head has been “pressurized” and

it never goes away. I can only get a bit of re-lief from taking Tylenol with codeine by double and triple doses every day. Thought I was out of my mind! Thank you for sharing your experi-ence. I too am moving in the new year back to the island. Good luck and god bless you and your family.

Act to ensure children’s futureThis is it.The earth’s warming

is set to breach the one degree Celsius threshold in 2015. This frighten-ing statement comes to us from the UK’s Meteorological Office. The world would then be halfway towards two degrees C, the gateway to dangerous warm-ing. Fourteen of the last 15 years have been the hottest in recorded his-tory, and 2015 is not just breaking records, but smashing them.

The new data is cer-tain to add urgency to political negotiations in Paris later this month aimed at securing a new global climate treaty.

So far 150 nations have pledged to “do something” about cli-mate change. It won’t be easy. Limiting warming to two degrees Celsius, to avoid the most dan-gerous effect of climate change, will require big changes on multiple fronts: a meaningful price on carbon pollu-tion, greater efficiency in use, faster growth of renewables, reduction in deforestation, and im-provements in land use.

The moment is upon us, we must act, every one of us to ensure a future for our children.

Silvery Slocan rush started with the Payne

First of two parts

Next year marks the 125th anniversary of the start of the Silvery

Slocan mining rush, which gave birth to Slocan, Silverton, and New Denver and buoyed the fortunes of West Kootenay generally.

I’m indebted to Chris McNamara of Retallack Lodge for pointing this out. He’s thinking of ways to com-memorate the occasion and has already put in a few months researching the original strike that set things in motion.

This story has been told many times, but here’s an overview: on Sept. 9, 1891, after several days of fruitless prospecting, Eli Carpenter and Jack Seaton staked the Payne claim. When they registered it with mining recorder T.H. Giffin 13 days later, they gave its location as “About 25 miles west of Kootenay Lake in the headwaters of Slocan Creek.”

(Oddly, while the name Slocan now applies to a val-ley, village, river, lake, and mountain range among other geographic features, there is no longer a Slocan Creek.)

Despite its spelling, the Payne was supposedly named after Thomas Paine, the American philosopher and Founding Father. What in-spired Carpenter and Seaton to choose that name is a mys-tery, but there were other Tom Payne mines in Oregon and

New Mexico.In any event, the pair re-

turned to Ainsworth where they had the claim assayed. According to Seaton, Carpenter deceived him about the results.

“My partner brought me the returns and they were only $26 [worth of silver per ton] or so,” Seaton told the Spokane Review in an account which has never been reprinted until now.

“Thinking there was noth-ing in the find I went back to work in a mine on the east shore of the lake near the Bluebell [mine]. In the meantime my partner, who had thrown off on me, got G.B. Wright to send him in by way of the Slocan river to stake out the whole country. The Hennessey boys got on to it and came over to see me about it. Just to satisfy myself I took a sample over to the assayer and got a return of $600 to the ton.”

I’m not sure I buy Seaton’s story for Carpenter was oth-erwise highly regarded by the local mining fraternity (but then again, so was Seaton). Carpenter said when they reached Ainsworth “Jack swore he would never return and he determined to return alone.”

By any measure, they had a falling out. Carpenter headed back to the Payne via the Slocan River with a new partner, Ernest Bielenberg, hoping to stake additional claims, while Seaton teamed up with Bill and Jack Hennessey, Frank Flint, and Jack McGuigan and went back by way of Kaslo.

The Noble Five, as they called themselves and one of their claims, reached the Payne first on Sept. 25, laying claim to all the best ground. Bill Hennessey and Flint jointly located the Mountain Chief, Jack McGuigan staked the Two Jacks, and Jack Hennessey the Maid of Erin. All three were ad-jacent to the Payne. Hundreds more were staked by others in the coming days, weeks, and months.

Neither Seaton nor

Carpenter became especially wealthy due to the Payne: within two months, Seaton sold his half-interest to Stephen Samuel Bailey for $500 while Carpenter made $500 or $1,000 on his share, which later fell into Bailey’s hands as well. Bailey also paid the Noble Five $10,000 to acquire the Mountain Chief, Maid of Erin, Two Jacks, and Last Chance.

On March 17, 1893, Bailey, Scott McDonald, Alfred W. McCune, and William L. Hodge obtained a crown grant for the Payne, while Bailey re-ceived in his name alone the crown grant on the Two Jacks, Mountain Chief, and Maid of Erin. These formed the Payne group.

The Payne shipped small amounts of ore in 1893 and 1895, but didn’t become a going concern until 1898 under the Payne Mining Company of BC Ltd. and then the Payne Consolidated Mining Co.

The bulk of the mine’s pro-duction ended in 1906, but additional shipments contin-ued until 1939. The Payne has been poked and prodded ever since, as recently as 2008 when Klondike Silver Corp. took soil samples, and completed geo-

logical mapping, surveying, and trenching.

In all, the mine shipped 110,604 tons of ore, from which 116,386,525 grams of silver was extracted (worth $58.5 million at today’s prices), along with 17,376,637 kg of lead, and 1,024,416 kg of zinc.

Its best year in terms of ton-nage was 1905 (36,986 tons of ore shipped), and its best year in terms of silver content was 1900 (25,969,014 grams). Between 1897 and 1904, the mine paid dividends of $1.4 million.

What of the Payne’s discov-erers?

Jack Seaton drank himself to death in Spokane in 1893. Eli Carpenter continued pros-pecting in BC, the Yukon, and Australia, with only modest success. He died in 1917 and is buried in an unmarked grave in Salmon Arm. Seaton and Carpenter are, however, both remembered in name-sake creeks in the Slocan — Carpenter’s passes through Sandon and New Denver.

Next time we’ll look at how the centennial of the Payne’s discovery was marked, and some ideas McNamara has to mark the 125th anniversary.

If you have a Hug or a Slug... we’d like to hear it. Simply email us at [email protected] with your short quips, compliments or complaints. Keep it tasteful

and anonymous — no names of individuals, businesses, or places please. You can also drop by a written submission to our o� ces at 514 Hall St.

SLUGS: To the irresponsible dog owners who bag their dog poo and then leave the bag on the ground for the poo fairy to pick up. Even more slugs to those who are equally slimy and throw it in some innocent homeowner’s shrubbery! The poo fairy does not exist — take your dog poo to a garbage can and dispose of it yourself!

HUGS: To the man who is a regular at a local cafe in town for paying it forward: $40 to go towards other customers’ orders. It sure put a smile on everyone’s face. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and your good deed was continued on throughout the day. It’s people like you who make Nelson such a sunny place (rain or shine).

SLUGS: To the woman driving the bright blue truck who almost ran over an innocent pedestrian in a clearly marked crosswalk in broad daylight. This normally calm person was so upset by her brush with death that she was shaking and crying. Stopping for pedestrians is a matter of life and death! – Tune up your game, people!

SLUGS: To the younger woman all dressed in black with the exception of the white around

the tops of your boots. At the Remembrance Day ceremony you couldn’t hold on to your coffee cup and take it to a garbage bin, you had to leave it on one of the pillars. Slugs also to all the vehicles going through the intersection during the two minutes of silence.

HUGS: To the citizens who take the time to bring letters to the editor for our consideration and reading pleasure. Many of the letters share opinions, passionately held ideas and well-thought suggestions that cause the reader to think. This is a form of communication that allows for free expression and builds our community of understanding and tolerance as we speak and listen to one another with respect.

SLUGS: Regarding the three-way stop at Hall and Vernon: several of us folks have found it a very dangerous intersection travelling west and also east. Visibility is very bad and it is hard to see vehicles coming up Hall St. Going west we are forced to proceed into the crosswalk and into the intersection before we can see down the hill. Yes, slugs to engineering for this troubling intersection. This problem must

be looked into.

HUGS: To the folks who thought up the new recycling system. I know you have a tough job. But with all due respect, I am a senior and I want to do the right thing for our planet, but I am not going to stand in the snow and sleet to wait my turn to stuff my recyclables into a small hole one at a time. I, and my friends that talked about this, will continue to bring our items in blue bags. Maybe you can hire someone to dispose of them for us?

HUGS: To a local ferry operator. The tailgate on my utility trailer fell off, apparently just after getting off the ferry. The operator noticed, got out of his station and went ashore to retrieve and put it aside. Another considerate motorist told me it had fallen off, but not where, as she was passing me about 10 km later. I looked back and forth unsuccessfully going several kilometers back. Today when I boarded the ferry with the same trailer, the operator noticed, got out of his perch, went and got the tailgate and to my great surprise returned it to me in person. I had not met him before. He was very humble in response to my appreciation.

FACEBOOK FEEDBACKCouncil balks at Wi-Fi in parks

How can members of city council dictate to people on where they can use their cell phones, laptops or tablets in a park? So what?!? Wouldn’t it be nice for people that do work from a lap-top or a student studying from their tablet can go out to one of our beautiful parks and do their work from there on a beauti-ful day versus staying indoors? Wi-Fi is going to be everywhere, whether city council likes it or not. — Dirk Jonker

Commercial access points in areas zoned as park are a slippery slope. In commercial zones, no loitering is allowed; in residen-tial zones, prowling is prohibited. Parks are places where citizens are allowed some common space to enjoy. Part of the discussion is about whether being coerced into a commercial contract to fully enjoy these public spaces. I sup-port free access to the Internet via Wi-Fi in parks, but not the signifi-cant restrictions and inequitable access as proposed. That already exists as 3G. — Devin Lindsay

How is anybody coerced into a commercial contract to use a Wi-Fi service? For coercion to occur, threats or force is involved. Nobody is making you sign up to use the free Wi-Fi. Either you want to give somebody your email address, or check out some ads for the service, or you don’t. — John Paolozzi

People can still use devices in parks without WiFi and I’m sure they do. Here comes a money-saving offer from Shaw and the

city is hesitating? Shaw never gives anything away and I have a $70 a month Internet bill to prove it. Just gratefully accept the offer city council, it’s even non-exclu-sive. — Anthony Hill

I would appreciate it if council would not attempt to dictate how people live their lives. Rather than point to some bizarre dystopia where people are glued to their laptops “plinking away” through-out the park like a scene from Hitchcock’s The Birds, imagine all the young, professional fami-lies with kids who need to remain connected to email for work but are now free to take their kids down to the park! — Trevor Jenkinson

Perhaps council should ask the people if this is something they want. I think this kind of service would help benefit tourism and the locals. Ask the people, coun-cil. — Chuck Wigenbach

If Wi-Fi in the park helps get people outdoors, I have trouble seeing the downside. — Kenneth Spencer

I think this is short-sighted. When I visited Spokane last summer, there was a similar free Wi-Fi set up in the park. People were still partaking in all the usual recreational activities. As a tour-ist I found it a useful service as I searched for for the location of various local businesses that I went on to spend money at. — Shawna Cummings

Do you mean that people can-not function without an Internet connection 24/7? Very sad! — Janis Hoffmann

Without the Internet, we wouldn’t be here having this de-bate now would we? Are you say-ing the Internet is a bad thing now too? I think it has helped make the world a smaller place and shed light on many subjects that oth-erwise would just be swept under the rug. — Bradley Higham

I think the notion of people who can’t survive without 24/7 Internet is a bit of an overly dra-matic straw man argument. The issue isn’t about survival, it’s about convenience and cost. Free public Wi-Fi benefits people who oth-erwise can’t afford Internet ac-cess. It benefits travellers who rely on bandwidth-heavy tools like Google Maps and Yelp. It ben-efits parents (like myself) who can take their kids to parks, beaches, and the pool so their kids can run around outdoors with their friends while the parents get work done on their laptop. You might not be one of the people who would benefit from this ser-vice, but why deny it to those who could? — Tammy Everts

So glad that city council is tak-ing the time to gather information and give due consideration to this issue. Very few people actually understand the ramifications of the new technology we’re using and each municipality should have the power to investigate and be an active part in deciding what the current exposure levels are to the radiation emitted in the area of their city limits. It should not be up to a corporation to decide what we’ll all be exposed to, and with these frequencies every bit does matter. Shaw is in no way obligated to protect our safety and wellbeing. — Shonna Hayes

Nelson’s Jules Chopin and Kaslo’s Titouan Chopin were an integral part of the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds defeating Universite du Quebec a Montreal Citadins by a score of 2-0 to win the bronze medal at the 2015 Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) men’s soccer national championship at York Stadium in Toronto.

The Canada West champion Thunderbirds fin-ished the season with a 14-1-2 overall record and added an 18th CIS medal (13-4-1) in 19 tourna-ment appearances to the program’s long history of success.

“The semi-final loss was a heartbreaker, but now our boys can keep their heads high knowing that we have a medal to show for all of our hard work,” said UBC head coach Mike Mosher in response to the win.

Early in the first half, Jules opened the scoring off a fantastic free kick from 35 yards out that dipped over the UQAM wall and sailed directly into the net. The goal gave the Thunderbirds a 1-0 lead in the ninth minute.

The Citadins picked up the intensity shortly after and found themselves in multiple scoring positions. Armel Dagrou and Sebastien Duquette almost found the much-needed equalizing goal for their team, but the Thunderbirds did well to keep the ball away from danger.

The Thunderbirds had numerous opportunities to extend the lead and put the game to rest in the first half alone.

Titouan forced a brilliant stop from the goal-keeper, Justin Wallace of Kamloops hit the post and Sean Einarsson of Surrey just missed the target from a rising ball that lifted above the frame.

To start the second half super sub Kerman Pannu of Surrey, instantly made an impact for his team with an insurance goal that increased the Thunderbirds’ lead to 2-0 less than one minute after play began. After Chis Serban of Calgary crossed the ball in from a wide position, Pannu came flying in to the penalty spot to strike through the ball off of a volley and crash the back of the net.

Midway through the half the Citadins’ Mohamed Saidi of Tizi Ouzou, Algeria, nearly narrowed the score after twisting and turning in the box and hitting a volley that just went wide of the net.

With the lack of time remaining on the clock, the Citadins couldn’t find the goals they needed to equalize and had to accept a fourth-place finish for the second year in a row.

Titouan Chopin was named UBC’s player of the game.

The Grand Forks Border Bruins are on fire.

Yes, you read that right. The team that invariably sits last in the KIJHL’s Neil Murdoch Division is now on a six-game winning streak after defeating the Nelson Leafs 5-2 on Tuesday night.

The Bruins were up 1-0 after the first period and 2-0 in the second when Levi Hulston scored for the Leafs with 6½ minutes remaining to cut the score to 2-1. The Leafs then tied the game a few minutes into the third on a power play goal by Austin Anselmo.

But Grand Forks then scored three unanswered goals, two of

them on the power play, to put the game away. Tyler Fyfe led the way with a goal and two as-sists.

The Leafs outshot the Border Bruins 42-27 but were stymied by the goaltending of Anthony Gaillart. Joseph Barton took the loss in net for the Leafs.

It was Nelson’s second straight loss to Grand Forks —

they fell 2-1 at home Saturday — and it ties the Border Bruins with the Leafs for third in the di-vision with 24 points, although Nelson has two games in hand. The win also improved Grand Forks’ record to .500: 11-11-0-2.

The Bruins and the Summerland Steam, also win-ners of six straight, are now the hottest teams in the league.

Taekwondo martial artists from Nelson, Castlegar, Swift Current, Sask. and Turner Valley, Alta. gathered at the Nelson Covenant Church this month to endure various levels of black belt testing.

Eighteen athletes, ranging in age from 11 to mid-50s, endured a four-hour testing regime before a regional testing board which consisted of Grand Masters Michael Twyman of Florida, Nelson’s Dean Siminoff, and locals Dave Laramee, Kathy McBride, and Pat Wong.

When the board gave the entire group five thumbs up, a collective sigh mixed with other sounds of relief and ac-complishment rose from the exhausted group, and Twyman shared sage words.

“This is just the begin-ning of your practise,” he said.

In taekwondo there are nine levels of black belt called Dans. Students and instructors were being tested from first to third Dan.

“It’s a big day, even for people going for their second or third degree — they’re just as nervous as the beginners,” said Siminoff. “The coloured belts have been training for four years.

“There is a bit of mys-ticism around the exam,” he said. “They have never been in on an exam be-

fore so they don’t know what’s coming up.”

Siminoff, who holds a fifth degree black belt, brought Twyman, who is a six Dan, from Florida for the testing for two reasons: “So I’m not testing my own students,

and it’s always more ex-citing for them,” he said.

The testing includes self-defense with free sparring and two-on-one sparring, knife at-tacks and Poomse — a series of moves or pat-terns. And at the end of

four hours, the athletes’ finale is a fitness test when they are at their weakest and at risk of dehydration, which can lead to muscle cramping. Tywman coached them through the timed sit-ups, push-ups and mixed

calisthenics.“Don’t forget to

breathe,” he said.As the athletes sparred

in front of the panel, Siminoff pointed to Evan Howard, winner of the Yes I Can award for the BC interior (for school-aged children with in-tensive supports), who was testing to become a third-degree black belt instructor and another athlete who has Multiple Sclerosis.

“Everyone has some sort of challenge when they get here,” said Siminoff.

Twyman was clear with the group that when athletes come be-fore a panel, there are no guarantees they will pass the test, especially if they come unprepared. But that was not the case with this group.

“Everyone was well prepared and this re-flects on your instruc-tors,” said Twyman to the group. “Ultimately it all comes down to you. It’s your choice. I feel you gave 110 per cent, which makes it easier for the re-gional testing board.”

The testing, which saw the first graduates from Kootenay Christian Martial Arts’ Castlegar school, was followed by other seminars over the weekend at Trafalgar school and a banquet at the Hume.

Kootenay Christian Martial Arts also has dojangs in Nelson, Playmor Junction, and Redfish School.

Track Attack raises funds for new uniformsCooler temperatures

and the first hints of that long-awaited white fluffy stuff have prompted Kootenay skiers to start scheming and prep-ping for a new season of outdoor fun and fit-ness. Earlier this month, Nelson Nordic Ski Club’s Track Attack group held a fundraiser at the club’s

annual ski swap to raise money to buy new and much-needed team uni-forms — tops, tights, hats, warm-up pants and jackets.

The athletes, ranging in age from 9 to 14, held a bake sale and set up a waxing station where they cleaned, waxed, scraped and brushed club members’ skis for a reasonable fee. It was

a win-win for all con-cerned, said parent Erik Leslie. “It offered a practical benefit for busy adults, getting one more thing off their to-do lists, while also honing the kids’ knowledge and skills at taking care of their own equipment,” he said.

Over a period of three hours, 15 kids and almost as many parents

took part, and waxed dozens of pairs of skis. Together with the pro-ceeds from the bake sale and donations, the group raised $499.35. It was so successful that the group now plans to make it an-nual event. The young skiers are excited to hit the trails. It’s just a mat-ter of what will arrive first: new racing digs or snow?

“I use the Ootischenia site all the time,” Davidoff said. “There are no open bins. I have never heard a complaint about it. I make a point of asking.”

Leaving the bins open was another option considered, and quickly rejected, by the commit-tee on Wednesday. Binks said they tried that in his area.

“We left a couple containers open to see what would happen and we had containers full of wet recycling and garbage. We never have them open now and we don’t

hear any complaints.”Does switching to closed bins

discourage people from recycling? Do they send more waste to the landfill as a result? It is not an easy comparison to make, regional dis-trict CAO Stuart Horn told the Star in an email, because business-es, industry and institutions used the open bins for their recycling. But with closed bins they don’t, because their high recycling vol-umes make it too time consuming.

“Our system was not designed to accept large volumes of com-mercial recycling, and the smaller

bins now make it more challeng-ing for these users to access our system,” Horn wrote. “While the commercial sector is welcome to continue using our bins, we know that many businesses will find it more convenient to contract with third parties for their recycling services, as is the normal practice in most of BC.

“We will see a reduction in vol-ume as a result of the commercial sector no longer using our system. This factor makes any volume change from residents difficult to determine.”

CONTINUED FROM A1Change in recycling volumes hard to determine

The Regional District of Central Kootenay will make changes to its new recycling system in the central subregion to address some of the complaints it has received.

News

Oil spouts from a lush forest floor, Canadian geese sing in harmony and George Washington gazes at a smart phone in the subversive new music video for Dan Mangan’s latest single “Vessel” from his album Club Meds — which also features a fictional cereal called Coloni-Os and a golden calf melting as children shout happily on a rollercoaster.

“I’ve always been a fairly politically opinion-ated person but I never wanted to write about it and I didn’t know how to put in into my songs without it seeming like a soapbox,” Mangan, who will perform at the Civic Theatre on Nov. 30, told the Star. “But with this record there’s a lot more of the political cynic coming out, just un-abashed social criticism.”

“Stop,” Mangan sings during the chorus of “Vessel,” a shouting mob backing him up. “It takes a village to raise a fool.”

“Obviously it’s a play on ‘it takes a village to raise a child.’ Basically we’re all fools to some degree, and we’re all at fault for the other fools in the world. With a lot of my lyrics I like to take

entrenched assumptions from the world that come through standard lin-guistic phrases like this and alter their meaning.”

The music video, cre-ated by Ben Clarkson, is layered with visual puns and complex images. Mangan said watch-ing Clarkson work was amazing.

“About once a week he would call me and say ‘Dan, this is getting really weird. Tell me if you want me to reel it in.’ And I would say don’t reel in a thing, do what’s in your gut. He’s a very subversive artist, politically minded, and with this video it’s cool because if you just want to see eye candy it’s crazy and funny and awesome

but then once you read into it, it’s also funny and angry and dark. That’s why it’s so magical.”

In “Vessel,” Mangan was trying to express his frustration at society’s blindness.

“It’s the inherent na-ture of human beings to look at the past and think ‘isn’t that horrible, and isn’t it good we don’t do that now?’ but while the right hand is doing that the left hand is doing something horrible in the here and now. We separate ourselves from things like the Second World War and the Holocaust, and then we ignore what’s going on around us, like right now on this planet someone’s being turned into a sex

slave.”He hopes to draw lis-

teners’ attention to that fact.

“It’s easy to be numb and apathetic. But being united in apathy and willful blindness is not being united at all — it just means there’s scads of lonely, alone people.”

Because he will be touring without his back-up band Blacksmith, many of the songs will be stripped down to their most basic, giv-ing Mangan a chance to showcase his vocals more prominently.

“It’s always been my opinion that if a song can’t be brought down to its simplest guitar and vocal, then it’s probably not a very good song.”

Mangan was most re-cently in the Kootenays when he performed at the Kaslo Jazz Etc Festival this past sum-mer.

“I always love com-ing back to Nelson. It’s an unusual small town in that it’s got a big-city mentality but it’s nestled in this beautiful spot in the Kootenays.”

The concert is for all ages. Doors open at 7 p.m., with showtime at approximately 7:30 p.m. Astral Swans will open the show.

Know Your Flow Need help reducing your home or business’s water consumption by 20 percent? Reach the City’s Water Smart Ambassador, Avery Deboer-Smith, at [email protected]

With the rain and snow of a traditional late autumn falling on Nelson and the West Kootenay’s mountains as of

late, it may seem a somewhat unusual request.But the message is urgent. And its cause

undeniable.The world’s weather is

changing. And with it, water supplies are being impacted — including our own, right here in Nelson.

“This month’s precipitation has been extremely important,” says Mayor Deb Kozak, “but after the hot, dry summer and early autumn we endured, we had only a quarter of the water we usually have in our creek sources. We’re very lucky to have received 22 percent of 2015’s total annual precipitation in just the last 18 days.”

“Regardless of the fortunate wet weather, both myself and the City’s councillors are entirely convinced that Nelson residents absolutely need to believe this — each and every one of us must start conserving water. Now, tomorrow and into the future.”

Following a summer of extreme drought across the province and a warmer and drier-than-usual early fall, the City of Nelson has been developing a comprehensive water conservation strategy aimed at reducing water use by 20 percent, permanently.

“Our water water levels are always lowest in fall and winter,” says the Mayor, “and with interior British Columbia’s long range forecast calling for as much as 40 percent less precipitation than usual, it will be even more important to conserve water right now and in the months ahead, despite the rain and early season snow we’ve received.”

“This is a call to action,” says the Mayor. “Council, City staff, business owners, residents — we need to be proactive and resilient. We simply don’t have the luxury to sit back and hope it rains or snows enough to meet our needs.”

The City’s Public Works and Utilities Department believes that to create the continuous buffer the City will need now and into the foreseeable future, particularly in the face of the sort of drought we’ve seen this year, the community needs to permanently reduce water use both indoor and out in order to address changing climates, growth, fi refi ghting capacities and impacts on City taxpayers.

“So many municipalities across North America and elsewhere in the world are water-wise,” says Public Works and Utilities Director Colin Innes. “Nelson can be too, with a number of easy-to-follow steps”.

Shorter showers, the installation of water

saving appliances like toilet tank bags (see page 18) and faucet aerators, wiser lawn and garden watering — there are many ways to reduce household water consumption (see ’Know Your Flow’). The City and its Water Ambassador are available now to work with residents and businesses to reduce their usage.

The City has made numerous efforts to ensure a 20 percent water reduction target is promptly met and maintained. Those efforts include:

• The adoption of new bylaws aimed at water conservation and enforcement.

• The on-going upgrade/re-lining of water infrastructure to reduce leakage (even with new development Nelson’s water usage has been dropping.)

• Implementing cost-effective infrastructure upgrades/line

replacement like the Stores To Shores project — two-thirds of which was necessary due to aging infrastructure.

• Council’s implementation of a water metering program which is gathering data on residential, commercial and institutional water use.

With one primary source of water — Five Mile Creek — and two much smaller secondary sources — Anderson and Selous Creeks — Innes says the City is looking at a wide variety of alternative water source options should extreme drought set in later in the winter or again next spring, summer or fall.

Five Mile is a tremendous source of water. Even with this year’s drought conditions, it produced enough water to serve the city.

“But it’s prudent to identify and develop other potential secondary sources as weather patterns become more unpredictable,” Innes adds. “We could lose Five Mile in the event of a major wildfi re or landslide.”

The Public Works Director also notes that despite its obvious proximity and size, pumping the entire City’s water supply directly out of Kootenay Lake is neither practical or fi nancially wise.

Pointing out that much of the world has already been dealing with increasing drought and depleting water resources, some regions for decades, Mayor Kozak assures Nelson residents that the City has contingency and emergency plans in place to deal with all climate-related events, with highly-trained, well-experienced staff at all levels and in all positions, whenever they’re needed.

“We’re planning now to manage severe conditions down the road, and ensuring we’re prepared for a future where water sources, wind, snow, rain and heat will pose challenges like we’ve never seen before,” says the Mayor. “This is soon going to be the new normal.”

The City of Nelson’s 20% Water Conservation Strategy The City of Nelson’s 20% Water Conservation Strategy

‘This is a call to action’

3. How does water get to your home or business?

Water from Five Mile Creek is stored in the Mountain Station Reservoir, Anderson Creek’s water is collected in the Anderson Intake above Fairview, and Selous Creek’s water is directed to the City’s water mains via the Selous Creek Transmission Line, above Uphill. From there, water is distributed throughout the City’s four water zones through 91 kms of water line.

4. What’s the City do to conserve water?

Water main leakage is the City’s biggest source of water loss. That’s why, over the past ten years, the City has focused on replacing or re-lining its most troublesome water mains. There’s more. The City also reduces water system demand by irrigating Lakeside Park and the soccer � elds with lake water. The Cemetery is also watered by a ground water well. The City’s � ush truck and street cleaners are also sourced from the lake. Even with Nelson’s development and growth, the infrastructure replacement program and irrigation switching has reduced water usage by 25 percent from 2003.

5. Where do we use the most water?

Toilets account for approximately roughly 30 percent of indoor water use, while showers/baths account for approximately 22 percent; a further 20 percent of our indoor water use goes down clothes washer drains. Kitchen and bathroom faucets account for another 17 percent. Check out the water saving wheel to the right for ideas on how to reduce indoor water use. As for outdoor water use, during the warm weather months, lawn watering, gardens, driveway and vehicle cleaning accounts for 39 percent of Nelson’s water consumption.

Avery Deboer-Smith

With the world’s weather changing, City rolls out permanent 20% water reduction strategy

1. Where’s our water come from?

All of the City’s of Nelson’s water supply comes from rainfall and snowpack melt. None of it is glacial runoff, nor is it pumped from aquifers, Kootenay Lake or any other reserve source. In fact, the presence of algae and other nutrients in the lake’s water makes it unhealthy to drink without costly treat-ment, and very expensive equipment, water main and 24-hour-a-day fuel requirements.

2. How does it get to Nelson?

The City’s primary source of water is Five Mile Creek which has a watershed of almost 50 km2. Five Mile provides roughly 73 mega litres per day (ML/d) and as much as 400 ML/d during peak run off in May and June. On average Nelson uses about � ve ML/d of water for indoor use; but in the summer that has historically risen to nearly 14 ML/D. The City’s secondary water sources are Selous Creek and Anderson Creek — which supply additional water during the summer. However, both Selous and Anderson dry up in the fall.

Pointing out that much of the world has already been dealing with increasing drought and depleting water resources, some regions for decades, Mayor Kozak assures Nelson residents that the City has contingency and emergency plans in place to deal with all climate-related events, with highly-trained, well-experienced staff at all levels and in all positions, whenever they’re needed.

“We’re planning now to manage severe conditions down the road, and ensuring we’re prepared for a future where water sources, wind, snow, rain and heat will pose challenges like we’ve never seen before,” says the Mayor. “This is soon going to be the new normal.”

The City of Nelson’s 20% Water Conservation Strategy The City of Nelson’s 20% Water Conservation Strategy

‘This is a call to action’

3. How does water get to your home or business?

Water from Five Mile Creek is stored in the Mountain Station Reservoir, Anderson Creek’s water is collected in the Anderson Intake above Fairview, and Selous Creek’s water is directed to the City’s water mains via the Selous Creek Transmission Line, above Uphill. From there, water is distributed throughout the City’s four water zones through 91 kms of water line.

4. What’s the City do to conserve water?

Water main leakage is the City’s biggest source of water loss. That’s why, over the past ten years, the City has focused on replacing or re-lining its most troublesome water mains. There’s more. The City also reduces water system demand by irrigating Lakeside Park and the soccer � elds with lake water. The Cemetery is also watered by a ground water well. The City’s � ush truck and street cleaners are also sourced from the lake. Even with Nelson’s development and growth, the infrastructure replacement program and irrigation switching has reduced water usage by 25 percent from 2003.

5. Where do we use the most water?

Toilets account for approximately roughly 30 percent of indoor water use, while showers/baths account for approximately 22 percent; a further 20 percent of our indoor water use goes down clothes washer drains. Kitchen and bathroom faucets account for another 17 percent. Check out the water saving wheel to the right for ideas on how to reduce indoor water use. As for outdoor water use, during the warm weather months, lawn watering, gardens, driveway and vehicle cleaning accounts for 39 percent of Nelson’s water consumption.

Avery Deboer-Smith

With the world’s weather changing, City rolls out permanent 20% water reduction strategy

1. Where’s our water come from?

All of the City’s of Nelson’s water supply comes from rainfall and snowpack melt. None of it is glacial runoff, nor is it pumped from aquifers, Kootenay Lake or any other reserve source. In fact, the presence of algae and other nutrients in the lake’s water makes it unhealthy to drink without costly treat-ment, and very expensive equipment, water main and 24-hour-a-day fuel requirements.

2. How does it get to Nelson?

The City’s primary source of water is Five Mile Creek which has a watershed of almost 50 km2. Five Mile provides roughly 73 mega litres per day (ML/d) and as much as 400 ML/d during peak run off in May and June. On average Nelson uses about � ve ML/d of water for indoor use; but in the summer that has historically risen to nearly 14 ML/D. The City’s secondary water sources are Selous Creek and Anderson Creek — which supply additional water during the summer. However, both Selous and Anderson dry up in the fall.

Install water saving showerheads and ultra-low-� ush toilets.

Check all faucets, pipes and toilets for leaks.

Shorten your shower by a minute or two and you’ll save up to 150 gallons per month.

Turn off the water while brushing your teeth or shaving.

Run your clothes washer and dishwasher only when they are full. You can save up to 1,000 gallons a month.

Plant drought-tolerant or low water-use plants and grasses. Use a rain barrel or drip irrigation system.

Use a broom instead of a hose to clean your driveway and sidewalk and save water every time.


Water your plants deeply but less frequently to encourage deep root growth and drought tolerance.

Can you reduce your water use by 20%? You bet! It’s easier than you think!

Navigation has changed: where once we hauled

out the road map (and later, tried to refold it), now we tell our smart phone where we want to go and she tells us how to get there. For those of us who are navigation-ally challenged, it’s a bit of a miracle.

In Canada’s literary landscape we’re celebrat-ing our new navigational devices. Enter literary mapping, an online re-source that’s comple-mentary to our well-oiled readerly imagina-tions. Literary mapping makes it possible to actually go to the place where writers wrote or novels were set and see for ourselves — and de-velop a great reading list to boot.

Literary maps tell us where the landmarks are: the places where writers burned the mid-night oil, or their charac-ters lived: think Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town by Stephen Leacock (Orillia), or St. Urbain’s Horseman by Mordechai Richler (St. Urbain street in Montreal). Or the

fictionalized versions of real places, such as Manawaka in Margaret Lawrence’s The Diviners(Neepawa, Manitoba). How cool is it to raise a glass in the pub where, in the ’60s and ’70s, Canada’s first poet lau-reate George Bowering raised his own glass with poets Susan Musgrave, Stan Persky, and Brian Fawcett?

While Library and Archives Canada has literary maps that date back as far as 1936, the online literary maps of today are much more interactive. Each pin on the map offers a thumb-nail of the author/book associated with that spot, with more infor-mation with a further click of the mouse: histo-ry, images, and even the chance to check out the book from your library. Take a virtual walk, meet your authors, and build your reading list.

The Vancouver Public Library Literary Landmarks site (vpl.ca/literarylandmarks) does just that. To get the ball rolling, librarian Sandra Sing of VPL reached out to BC Bookworld pub-lisher Alan Twigg, who in 1986 wrote Vancouver & its Writers: A Guide to Vancouver’s Literary Landmarks. As keeper of the database abcbook-world.com — home to information on more than 11,000 BC writers — Twigg was the perfect partner to recreate that

project for the Internet age 20 years later.

Vancouver’s online literary landmarks map is live, and it’s growing. Should you decide to take the physical tour (plug the address into your smart phone or find your own way Voyageur-style) there are now 26 plaques to read once you get there, with more to come. Wayson Choy’s plaque is on East Pender near his childhood home; Malcolm Lowry’s plaque celebrates the site where Under the Volcano was written. Who knew Margaret Atwood wrote Lady Oracle in Vancouver?

Literary tourism isn’t new. When visiting England a few years ago I had lunch at — be still, my beating heart! — the Eagle and Child pub in Oxford, where The Inklings met regularly to raise a glass and stoke imaginations: these were J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and others. I drank my stout and ab-sorbed it all, happy as a literary clam.

Now, online literary

tourism offers unprec-edented breadth, scope, and cause for celebra-tion. Since partnering with Vancouver Public Library, Twigg has begun working on a BC-wide map, seeking regional partners and aiming to bring British Columbia writers and their books into the spotlight in this new, comprehensive, and friendly way.

The launch date for the site is still a few months away, but oh, what roads await us! What trails ahead! We have the navigation sys-tem; now, we just need to plan all of the places we want to go. Our on-line literary explorers will chart new territory, mining the depths of the Interior for literary luminaries. When we get there, we’ll have the best sort of map in our vir-tual back pocket — no refolding necessary.

The Slocan Valley Economic Development Commission has cho-sen four organizations to receive a combined $251,000 over two years from the Slocan Valley Community Directed Fund. The fund is a partnership between the Regional District of Central Kootenay and Columbia Basin Trust, who provided the money.

“We believe that fund-

ing these organizations will result in long term and widespread ben-efits to the Slocan Valley community,” said Leah Main, chair of the com-mission. “The commis-sion engaged with the community extensively to determine how valley

residents wanted this funding used for their economic, social, cul-tural and environmental well-being.”

The commission al-located $40,000 to the seniors’ housing society project which plans to build long-term housing for elders in Slocan City. The society’s committee will share its knowledge and designs with other groups that may wish to develop similar housing

projects in other parts of the valley.

The W.E. Graham Community Services Society will receive $46,000 to purchase a youth/community bus. The bus will fill a need for specialized trans-portation in the valley for day trips, evening events and other activi-ties that occur outside of the times and locales served by regional tran-sit. This transportation option will enable youth and other community members to more fully participate in wide rang-ing events without hav-ing to own their own vehicles.

The remaining funds are directed at two

food security/food hub projects; both the West Kootenay Permaculture Co-op Association in the south valley and the Healthy Community Society of the north val-ley foster and advance food production, storage and distribution as well as access to locally/re-gionally grown foods in our communities. These two organizations have agreed to collaborate on their projects.

“The Slocan Valley Economic Development Commission believes that by supporting the growth of a local food economy, we will strengthen the overall economy of our valley,” explained Main.

Local food security takes another step forward

The Kootenay and Boundary Food Producers Co-op is moving ahead with its plans to build resiliency in our region by sup-porting food producers. They have just received a technical assistance grant from Vancity Community Investment for board development and organizational guid-ance.

“The timing is great,” says Kim Charlesworth, chair of the steering com-mittee, “as we are holding our first annual general meeting on Nov. 25. Our first elected board will be ushered in and new board members will have professional help mov-ing forward. This kind of support is critical to the success of new organiza-tions.”

The producers co-op incorporated in March and has already com-pleted a pilot delivery and marketing project. This service will be ex-panded next year, and

a new project started which will see a storage facility leased in Salmo to offer co-op members safe winter storage for crops such as squash, carrots, potatoes and onions.

The producers co-op’s mandate includes increasing food security in the region while as-sisting farmers and sec-ondary processors to ac-cess new markets and to

grow, process and store more food for local con-sumption.

“The pilot was a huge success,” says Willy Fuder, a member farm-er who participated this year. The co-op hopes to also promote an even greater appreciation among consumers for local, sustainably pro-duced crops, meat and other edible products.

“JUST THE LITTLE BETTER GARBAGE GETTER”

DOUG’S DISPOSAL

Storm knocks out powerNELSON STAR STAFF

Nearly 5,000 FortisBC customers were left in the dark after Tuesday’s big storm.

Winds brought down a number of trees, knocking out power in Crawford Bay, Kaslo, Salmo, Ymir, Nelson, and the Slocan Valley as well as portions of Trail, Rossland, Warfield, Castlegar, Creston, and Fruitvale.

“FortisBC’s first priority is to main-tain the safety of the public and our crews as we respond to these outages,” the company said in a prepared state-ment. “Crews worked through the night to restore service and brought customers in Ymir, Warfield, Salmo and parts of Fruitvale back online.”

Two transmission lines serving Kaslo and Crawford Bay were heav-

ily damaged. As of Thursday morning, one line had been repaired and was providing power to the area until the second transmission line was fixed. The company’s website said 1,355 Kaslo customers had their power back as 5:30 p.m. Wednesday while 300 Crawford Bay customers were still without as of Thursday morning, but repairs were expected to be completed later that day.

About 60 homes in the Slocan Valley were also expected to have their electricity back on Thursday.

Power was restored to 1,293 customers in Salmo as of 4:30 a.m. Wednesday and 50 customers around Nelway as of 4 a.m.

Power also remained out to 330 customers in Rossland Thursday.

Until Dec. 6, Pacific Blue Cross is asking you to vote online for organizations improving health and well-being in British Columbia. Pacific Blue Cross asked members of its health foundation to vote from a list of non-profit organiza-tions who have received past funding. The vote led to five

finalists being chosen for a video storytelling campaign.

In each video, a volun-teer shares a personal con-nection to their organiza-tion. Pacific Blue Cross has promised each organization a $5,000 donation for partic-ipating. British Columbians are now invited to Share the Care and encourage voting for their favourite videos. The two videos with the most votes at the end of the campaign will have their do-nations increased to $50,000 and $10,000 respectively.

Winners will be an-nounced in early January.

“Nous sommes unis.” “We are one!”

Against violence and with the people of the world, it is important for people of goodwill and peace to affi rm, “We are one.” We stand in solidarity with the people of France and Lebanon; the ISIS terrorist attack in Beirut killed 43 and wounded 239.There were a number of heroic acts in Beirut and in Paris. One Beirut citizen tackled a suicide bomber and caused the bomb to detonate. This young man, Adel Termos, was killed along with his daughter. Sadly, media coverage of the bombing in Beirut was virtually non-existent. A bomb also went off in Baghdad last week and received virtually no coverage.The spiritual path that I follow leads me to hope for dialogue and conversation rather than retaliation and vengeance. I am follower of Jesus of Nazareth who taught that we are to love our enemies and seek reconciliation. As a practitioner of non-violence, I join with people around the world to engage in dialogue about the challenges we face in the world.When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was in opposition, he proposed that Canada join with other nations in a determination of root causes of ISIS terrorist activities. Then Prime Minister Harper derided the idea but then went ahead quietly and commissioned the investigation. Root causes point to poverty, disenfranchisement, centuries of colonialism, patriarchy, sectarianism, a lack of education, poor health care and many other determinants.Terrorism does not create new life. Love, hope, equality, freedom, peace with justice and compassion lead us to a new way of being together. My Christian path leads me to reach out to join hands with others. It is no easy thing to open one’s heart to others and to seek a path of love and compassion. This takes hard work and a willingness to engage person to person.Person to person peace-making and an acknowledgement that we are all part of the human family is a place to begin to fi nd a non-violent future together.

Nelson SPCA holds gala fundraiserOn Saturday, Nov.

28 the Nelson branch of the BC SPCA will be holding its seventh an-nual Spayghetti and No Balls gala fundraising dinner at the Prestige Lakeside resort. In ad-dition to a gourmet four course served meal with local cruelty-free meat and vegetarian options, guests will be treated to some fantastic live music.

Guests are encouraged to come early to bid on some silent auction and

live auction items. “There are items of all sizes so you could easily do all of your Christmas shop-ping at the event,” says Rob Andrew, the Nelson branch manager. Among the prizes available will be a kayak, an Okanagan getaway, electronic items, and multiple spa and bed and breakfast pack-ages. There will also be many gift certificates and smaller items for the budget conscious.

The dinner was origi-nally conceived in 2009 to jumpstart the branch’s

low-income spay/neu-ter program, Catsnip/Dogsnip. That program is well underway and a big success, but the branch still needs help to maintain it and to pay for their ever rising spay and neuter bill. “We spent over $40,000 on spay and neuter expenses last year,” says Andrew. “In addition to control-ling pet overpopulation, spaying and neutering can help solve certain health and behavioural problems which makes pets less adoptable.”

The Nelson adoption centre not only adopts animals to loving homes, they create a compas-sionate community in many different ways. Through the centre, they provide humane educa-tion programs such as a summer camps and school visits, reunite lost pets back to their homes, provide low in-come spay/neuters, and respond to cruelty com-plaints to make sure that all animals have a voice.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for cocktails and

the silent auction, while dinner begins at 7. The dress code is casual.


Lola and Cheech, two senior chihuahuas up for adoption, are just two of the beneficiaries of the Nelson SPCA’s gala din-ner next weekend.

N e l s o n - C r e s t o n MLA Michelle Mungall says she’s “thrilled” about a new vision for BC’s energy future. BC New Democrat leader John Horgan this week launched PowerBC, a sweeping energy plan that creates jobs in every community in B.C. while protecting families and businesses from runaway Hydro bills.

“In communities across our region, I hear from parents who have to leave their families for weeks at a time to work a camp job, and from seniors struggling with sky rocketing hydro costs,” says Mungall. “People also tell me they want to see a forward-thinking green energy plan. This week, New Democrats are deliver-ing that. Power BC is a plan to create good-paying, long-lasting local jobs, reduce energy con-sumption and help save on power costs here in the Kootenays and across BC.”

PowerBC will launch an accelerated program of energy efficiency ret-rofits to public buildings

like schools and hospi-tals, as well as industrial and commercial build-ings and private homes. The plan would upgrade BC Hydro’s existing

Revelstoke Dam and other facilities, and free BC Hydro to pursue BC’s clean energy potential in wind, solar and emerging technologies in partner-

ship with First Nations and clean energy provid-ers. The plan will guaran-tee BC jobs and training opportunities through local procurement and

local hiring.“Instead of flooding

a valley and destroying productive farmland, we want to invest in our existing infrastructure,

invest in green technolo-gies, and invest in train-ing our young people,” says Mungall. “We can reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and

strengthen our local economies at the same time. That’s the kind of thinking and planning we need to meet the real-ities of the 21st century.”

… The Poetry of Objects is a new exhibition by Leah Weinstein that in-vites you to discover the

extraordinary in the ev-eryday. The opening re-ception is tonight from 7 to 9 p.m. at Touchstones Nelson, with an artist talk scheduled for to-morrow at 1 p.m.

Using new and re-purposed materials and forms, Weinstein cre-ates assemblages that use the familiar in sur-prising ways, blurring the lines between the ordinary and the pro-found. A former stu-dent of the textile studio

at Kootenay Studio Arts in Nelson, she is now based in Vancouver. The artist will be at the open-ing, and will share more about her genre-bending

practice during her artist talk on Saturday.

The Poetry of Objects runs until Feb. 14.

Admission to the opening reception is by

donation, while the art-ist talk is free with ad-mission to Touchstones Nelson. Members of Touchstones Nelson are admitted free.

Gorgeous, sleek, such a nice temperament in a possibly purebred Min Pin. Pip is just looking for love, period. He is 2 years old, 10 lbs, neutered and vaccinated. He is super social, gets along with other dogs and all people. Cats? He’s trainable. More information from KAAP at 250-352-2008 or www.kaap.ca/adopt.

These two bonded 4 year old siblings are a ready-made dog family. They love each other and will sleep and play together when they are on their own. But what they really love is to cuddle with their humans. They are a fun couple,

lots of personality, lots of love to give. They are spayed/neutered and vaccinated. Just waiting for the perfect home. Call KAAP at 250-551-1053 or visit www.kaap.ca/adopt for more info
