owner and developer. is is a 25 per cent increase over the selling
prices announced a year ago.
e reason for the increase, Ockeloen says, is a rise in build-ing
construction costs in Nelson as well as an increase in the size of
the units as a result of an interior re-design.
Nelson Landing is a mixed commercial-residential develop-ment of
265 housing units pro-posed to be build by the Storm Mountain
Development Corpo-ration on the old Kootenay For-est Products site

A groundbreaking envi-ronmental sustainabil-ity day at Mount
Senti-nel Secondary in South Slocan Tuesday is being hailed by the
school district superintendent as a great example of the direc-tion
contemporary education is heading in the Kootenays.
The ambitious, multi-facet-ed community collaboration involved
local mentors, envi-ronmentalists and the schools neighbour, Mount
Sentinel Farms.
Were challenging traditional paradigms by engaging students in
deep inquiry into topics that really matter to them, and were
helping them be thoughtful about how theyll contribute and become
leaders in the global community, superintendent Jeff Jones told the
Star during a break from the festivities. Weve taken our students
right out of the traditional timetable and gotten them outside
their
classroom walls.Principal Glen Campbell
said one of the primary pur-poses of the day was to engage the
community.
Were trying to make learn-ing relevant, and were connect-ing to
the kids own families and friends, he said. Were trying to show
them that learning isnt just happening between the pages of a
book.
He said theyre asking stu-dents to consider the implica-tions of
climate change on their lives.
Were asking them ques-tions that relate specifically to their
lives, and were trying to be realistic about what they can
currently do. If youre trying to change something, where do you
begin? We tell them Lets break it down to baby steps.
It starts with your voice
The morning began with a raucous gymnasium rally that
included speeches from local environmentalists such as Mon-tana
Burgess, who encouraged the kids to educate themselves on
environmental issues and prepare themselves to vote for the future
they want. Campbell said the energy in the room was electric.
Montana, being younger and close to the students age, I think
she really connected with the kids. She got them revved up and
chanting. Shes an example to them, and shes showing the kids they
can make change happen. It starts with your voice, and being
visible, and saying look at us, look at our message.
That message: Were con-cerned about climate change.
Students then broke into groups, attending workshops and
conversation cafes with top-ics such as water stewardship, waste
management, sustainable food production and the local wolf cull.
The latter was led by Toni Appleby.
We have some caribou ant-lers and hide here, plus a moun-tain
lion hide and a wolf hide. Theyre here for the kids to see and feel
and touch, and to bring
the presence of these animals into the room.
Appleby said the tactile ex-perience of the pelts will teach
students much more than just describing them.
I try to focus on experiential education. Its not about me
go-ing blah, blah, blah at the front. Its about them having an
ex-perience they might not have otherwise.
Community mentors, local experts
Community mentors who participated in sustainability day
included Greg Osadchuk, Lauren Andres, Baden Wilton, Shauna Fidler,
long-time teacher Joe Moreira, climate scientist Mel Reasoner and
representa-tives from various community groups.
When the Star caught up with Taress Alexis, the daughter of
former Sinixt spokeswoman Marilyn James, she was chat-ting with
students about, among other things, indigenous stew-ardship of
land.

Continued from page 2The kids really came to-
gether and had some good dis-cussions about climate change,
sustainability and how it affects them, Alexis said.
Environmentalist Laura Sacks discussed water with her charg-es.
Were talking about conser-vation, outdoor water use, ways to reuse
water and how to deal with flooding. Im really excited. I think
theyre listening, theyre engaged in the issue and its a great
opportunity.
Down the hallway teachers Danny Leeming and Heather Shippit
guided students through the process of making iMovie trailers that
theyre going to
broadcast on their in-school TV station.
The spots will encourage stu-dents to be conscientious about
their transportation decisions.
I hope this is the start of something cool, Leeming said.
Good neighbours, global citizens
The days success was great-ly aided by the cooperation of Mount
Sentinels neighbouring farm, and its leader Isaac Daw-son. Its a
relationship that has grown closer recently and one Campbell wants
to cultivate. The school currently operates on a barter system with
the farm, al-
lowing them occasional use of their fields and facilities.
In terms of sustainability, what a terrific opportunity for us!
said Campbell. If we want to talk about sustainable farm-ing and
food production, theyre right next door to us. Weve tried to be a
really good neighbour to them and theyve reciprocated.
Jones also praised the bur-geoning relationship.
One of the most important aspects of this whole day was the
inclusion of people throughout our community whove come together to
support our students. This is a great example of how schools and
communities can work together.
Jones loved the performance by a Doukhobor choir and spoke
effusively about the borscht pre-pared by the Grade 9/10 cooking
class with parents and grand-parents.
During her speech, Mon-tana told the crowd she believes Mount
Sentinel is leading the way in focusing on the environ-ment and
tackling the issue of climate change. This is the first and only
school in our district to hold a day like this, and its the
kick-off to a broad year-long project.
The school will collaborate on an environmental action plan, and
begin to do their small part to contribute to sustainability.
Shirley Relkoff and Edna Sapriken (above left) helped prepare
the borscht lunch for sustainability day, environmentalist Laura
Sacks spoke to the students and water issues (above top right) and
teacher Danny Leeming assisted Terra-Mae Box and Asraia Mayer
during the event. Will Johnson photos

Affordable housing contribution increased
In BriefPrescribed burns
underway near Kaslo
The BC Wildfire Service, in con-junction with BC Timber Sales
and the Kaslo and District Com-munity Forest Society, is
conduct-ing two prescribed burns in the
Kootenay Lake area.Burning began Thursday and
will continue through Saturday, weather permitting.
The burn occurring near Keen Creek, eight kilometres west of
Kaslo, will cover 16.5 hectares and smoke will be visible from
Kaslo,
South Fork and Highway 31A. The BC Wildfire Service fire crews
will monitor the area at all times.
The second burn, located near Hope Creek along Highway 31, 30 km
north of Meadow Creek, will also cover 16.5 hectares. Smoke will be
visible from Highway 31.
Phase 1 of Nelson Landing, which will consist of eight units,
will be built on the old Kootenay Forest Products site, seen here.
The lower area on the left with the orange fencing will become part
of the waterfront pathway.

It is also contributing $500 per unit to the citys affordable
hous-ing fund. That amount was raised from $250 recently after
Nelson CARES executive director Jenny Robinson spoke at a public
hearing and asked the developer to raise the contribution to $1,000
on the grounds that Nelson is in an af-fordable housing crisis.
Jenny Robinson, speaking at the public hearing in August
reminded me that we had not stepped up high enough in rela-tion to
our affordable housing contribution, Ockeloen told the Star by
email.
This was the most significant single concern I took away from
that council meeting. I called her after the meeting and confirmed
that we would double our contri-bution to $500 per unit.
Robinson says she told Ock-eloen the community can never raise
enough money for housing through such contributions but the pot
helps us leverage money from other non-profits or from BC Housing.
I am grateful that this de-veloper is open to the community and
listening to us.
The amount a developer con-tributes to the affordable housing
fund is negotiated between them and the city.

Continued from page 1 into the main reservoir on Mountain
Station Rd.
The city also gets relatively minor amounts of water from
Anderson Creek in Fairview and Selous Creek at Ymir Rd.
The available creek flow in July was 13.6 megalitres (Ml) per
day, in August 6.2, and in September 7.2. So its gone up since
August.
But to put things in perspec-tive, Innes says the usual flow
into the reservoir in September is about 25 Ml per day.
The amount used by city resi-dents, businesses and institutions
in July was 12.6 Ml in July, eight in August following the
imposi-tion of water restrictions, and 5.1 in September.
Water use is down in Septem-ber for some understandable
rea-sons, says Innes.
People have taken the restric-tions to heart, but also the use
for watering is down. With all the leaves turning yellow, they dont
water their gardens.
Nelsons main water source is Five Mile Creek, located in West
Arm Provincial Park, which feeds into the main reservoir on
Moun-tain Station Rd. The city also gets relatively minor amounts
of water from Anderson Creek in Fairview and Selous Creek at Ymir
Rd.
Innes says the city needs to
look for another source of water.That opinion echoes the
rec-
ommendations of the citys wa-ter master plan, written in 2006,
which emphatically states that dependence on Five Mile Creek is not
an option over the long term.
The plan enumerates a num-ber of shortcomings of Five Mile Creek
as the primary source, in-cluding:
It can supply an upper limit of 16.8 Ml per day (not much more
than the 13.6 m per day it supplied in July);
The creeks yield in the win-
ter was already falling short of demand in 2006;
The supply line to the city from the reservoir will take a
maximum of 11.4 Ml per day, hardly more than the 11.2 con-sumed in
July.
In addition, the plan also cites the risk of forest fire
retardant contaminating the water in the event of a wildfire, the
effects of climate change, and the risk of landslides.
The plan names some pos-sible secondary sources, namely Kootenay
Lake, Grohman Creek
and Clearwater Creek and rec-ommends further costing and
analysis go into those.
Innes says that hasnt been done, nor has the city moved very far
on the plans recommenda-tion that the city institute water
metering. But he says the city has made progress in one important
area, and it is related to those ubiquitous street excavations
Nelson residents are so accus-tomed to for much of the year.
One piece that has been acted on, he says, is the underground
infrastructure. Had we not made repairs since 2006 we would
al-ready be running out of water.
He says addressing those leaks has increased the efficiency of
Nelsons water supply by about 25 per cent.
Level 4 water restrictions, in effect now within the City of
Nelson state:
No watering of lawns and boulevards;
No vehicle washing except at commercial car washes;
No washing of buildings, driveways, exterior windows or parking
lots;
No filling of pools or hot tubs;
Trees, shrubs, vegetables and flowers may be watered with a
hand-held container or a hose with a shut-off nozzle,
micro-irrigation or drip line, daily, from 4 to 10 a.m. and from 7
to 10 p.m.

Lower Kootenay Band acquires Burdens Cut
Members of the Lower Koo-tenay Band have unanimously approved a
land swap that gives them direct access to Kootenay Lake.
This decision is of great significance, chief Jason Louie said.
It was a rollercoaster of emotions last night when the results came
in. Were talking about 100 years at least of our people not having
a presence on Kootenay Lake.
After years of discussion and negotiation between the band and
Regional District of Central Kootenay, a tentative agreement that
would allow the RDCK to acquire land adjacent to its Lister
landfill site was reached earlier this year.
The deal includes $300,000 in cash, determined by an in-
dependent evaluation, and an additional $300,000 for a joint
economic development initiative.
Additionally, the province of-fered 474 acres at Burdens Cut and
LaFrance Creek on Kootenay Lake through an incremental treaty
agreement. The band will hold the property in fee simple until a
treaty is settled with the Ktunaxa Nation, at which point the
parcel becomes Ktunaxa land.

Burglars hit Salmo Curling Club
Thieves broke into the Salmo Curling Club sometime between 2 and
9:30 a.m. Sunday and stole about $200 worth of liquor.
RCMP say theft was discov-ered at 10 a.m. The burglars got in
through the front by smashing a small window and reaching in and
opening the door.
They then went through all the kitchen cupboards, locating the
keys for the pop machine, and smashed the locks on three doors, one
of which led upstairs to where they found the booze. They left
through the bank door.
If you have any information, youre asked to contact Salmo RCMP

Editorial
A radio report a couple weeks back caught my atten-tion. CBC
Radio aired an interview with Kootenay Lake school dis-trict
superintendent Je Jones about the reported chaos being experienced
at L.V. Rogers Sec-ondary School in Nelson, where a parents meeting
had been called to deal with the frustrations stu-dents were having
with sched-uling and getting the elective courses they wanted.
e story itself wasnt par-ticularly di erent from what we
typically hear from high schools each September. Its always a mad
scramble, especially when it comes to enrolment numbers.
Its all good when projections made by principals earlier in the
year turn out to be accurate, be-cause thats what the Sept. 1 sta
-ing level is based on. If the num-ber of students is higher than
anticipated, they get crammed into classrooms until sta can be
added. Projections that turn out to be low mean that newly hired
teachers live for a month or more holding their breath layo s are
coming.
is year, though, high schools across the province were also
us-ing a new, provincially mandated scheduling system and Jones
ex-pressed frustration that glitches were causing headaches for sta
, students and parents.
What really caught my at-tention was Jones suggestion to address
the problems in Nelson and Creston (he brought Prince Charles
Secondary School into the conversation himself no big uprising was
occurring there). e principals will have to spend their way out of
the prob-lem, he said, by hiring more sta and exceeding their
budgets.
Really? Budgets that are really the ultimate responsibility of
ad-ministrative sta and the school board are now to be ignored by
the very people who arent sup-posed to ignore them?
is sounded more like Jones was throwing his principals un-der a
bus than a helpful sugges-
tion or solution. e next week, back from sev-
eral days in Calgary, I thought I would check on the Creston
situation.
It took a few hours, but Jones gave Prince Charles principal
Scott Cobbe the okay to talk to me and o I went to the high school.
By that time I knew that the school board had averted a possible
problem for Jones and the principals by approving the addition of
teaching positions in both L.V. Rogers and Prince Charles.
I met with Cobbe and assistant principal Mike Nelson in an of-
ce whose walls are covered with masses of sticky notes. Much of the
scheduling for classes falls to Nelson and its something hes
probably very good at, with cal-culus being one of his
specialties.
Undoubtedly its a challenge in a smallish school to satisfy the
wants and needs of students when it comes to electives, try-ing to
balance demand with the need, Jones comments aside, to work within
a budget.
I was pleased to learn than neither Cobbe or Nelson thought that
this September was all that more challenging than previous years. e
problems with the scheduling system were minor, they said. And
Cobbe took full responsibility for his projected enrolment, which
looks like it
will fall short by about 20 stu-dents. In other words, Prince
Charles has about 20 more stu-dents than it was ready to
ac-commodate.
To his credit, Cobbe said that he works hard to make his
pro-jections as accurate as possible and refuses to be overly
optimis-tic. An optimistic projection can lead to the need to lay o
teachers in October, a er the nal enrol-ment numbers are set, and
thats not something he wants to build into his planning model,
Cobbe said.
As we talked, it occurred to me that the di erence between
Nelson and Creston school chal-lenges this fall might be more
cultural than anything.
Is it possible, I wondered, that Creston residents are simply
less demanding than our Nel-son counterparts? Cobbe didnt deny that
possibility, but added fuel to my theory by saying that he had only
had to deal with one upset parent in September, noth-ing like the
outcry that had come out of Nelson and put the story out across the
province.
e theory isnt intended to be judgmental. Nelson is known for its
activism and probably has a larger base of parents who are also
professionals who have high expectations for their kids. In
Creston, we have one of the lowest family income levels in the
province and we tend to make do in every aspect of our lives.
Perhaps we are more under-standing when we see others, Cobbe and
Nelson and the Prince Charles sta in this instance, do-ing their
utmost to provide stu-dents with what they need. We live our lives
doing the best we can with what we have, so why would we blame
others when things dont go exactly the way we would like?
We ask others to do their best with what they have to work with,
just as so many of us have done to adapt to life in this wonderful
Creston Valley.

Electing NDP would mean fairer election system
With the two front runner candi-dates, Wayne Stetski and David
Wilks, currently locked at 37 per cent in the local polls, those
voters planning to vote either Green or Liberal need to know that
their votes will only serve to help Wilks get re-elected. Only if
those of us who want the Harper Con-servatives gone, vote together,
will we have a chance to rid ourselves of the most undemocratic
regime in Canadas history.
is is the unfortunate reality with our current rst-past-the-post
election system. Right now voters in Kootenay-Columbia who want to
see change in Ottawa number 63 per cent but if we divvy those votes
between the three other candidates, the probable outcome is we will
not see any change.
When the NDP forms the next gov-ernment, they have committed to
bring in proportional representation for the next federal election.
Under this much fairer election system, every party gets a say in
Parliament based on the overall percentage of their national vote.
We wouldnt have a repeat of the last four years where the Harper
Conservatives, who got only 39 per cent of the over-all national
vote, have dictated to the majority opposition with 61 per cent of
the votes.
For Kootenay-Columbia voters, this is clearly an opportunity to
supersize your vote!

Stephen Harper right out of a dystopian novel
Only two women have refused to remove their niqab and show their
faces for citizenship ceremonies since 2011.
is is like Stephen Harper lying that many people had refused or
complained about the compulsory long form census, when there was no
evidence of any complaints; this to create an excuse for his taking
apart the only source of reliable real data about the state of the
nation, just as he has systematically been tearing apart the
capacity and role of science to inform us.
Our media has failed to maintain an informed citizenry. Harper,
et al are right out of a dystopian novel of the fu-ture with well
managed disinformation supporting their ideological dogma.
is election campaign is a horrifying joke using fear, since the
economy has not been doing well enough to count
entirely on greed, as well documented in Susan Delacourts book
Shopping for Votes, where promising (a loss leader special like
Walmart does) a last-minute special tax incentive or equivalent
little perk to a targeted swing vote sub-group based on polling
data, wins the election in our completely undemocratic rst-past-the
post electoral system.
Andre PiverProcter
Be sure to vote, Green or otherwise
is above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as
the night the day, ou canst not then be false to any man. (Polonius
to Laertes, Hamlet Act 1, scene 3, 7882)
Since the outset of the federal election campaign, Bill Greens
canvass results have consistently shown that over 30 per cent of
voters have been considering him for their MP. A er the writ was
dropped I noticed a shi to Green at the Creston Fall Fair. at
expanded to include most of the East Kootenay a er Bills brochure
was delivered to every household across Kootenay-Columbia. And
then, just like the EKOS and Nanos pollsters have found in BC, I
noticed a further uptick in support for Bill when the Green Party
launched its Vote Pledge campaign this past weekend.
In this election I have never talked to so many former
Conservative voters who are looking for a new home, and to so many
New Democrats who want to support Elizabeth May because she is the
best Canadian political leader in decades. So I have only one
observation to make to the voters of Nelson and the surrounding
rural area: make sure, when you vote at the advance poll or on
election day, that you remain true to yourselves.
You have a choice to make about what kind of Canada you want,
what kind of MP you want to represent you, and what role you want
Elizabeth May and the Green Party to play in your future. If you
have not done so, check out Vision Green, the party platform, and
the balanced budget on Bills web-site, as our children and
grandchildren deserve the best. And then you choose how to
vote.
No one, but no one, has the right to tell you how to cast your
ballot, because it is your future and your country you are voting
for. I have already voted Green, by special ballot. Please join me,
and we can build a better future together.

LettersClean energy future
leaving Canada behind According to an article in Forbes
magazine, Japans lost nuclear out-put since Fukushima has been
half displaced by e ciency, frugality, and renewables. Renewables
pro-vide 13 per cent of Americas ener-gy, 33 per cent of Italys, 46
per cent of Spains, 50 per cent of Scotlands, over 50 per cent of
Denmarks, and 64 per cent of Portugals. Germa-nys fossil-fueled
generation hit a 35-year low; renewables were its biggest power
source.
And what is Canada doing?Over half the worlds renewable
installations and investments last year were in developing
countries. China cuts its energy intensity four to ve per cent a
year, burning less total coal. China added more solar capacity in
2013 than the US added since inventing it 61 years ago. In-dia did
the same for the past two years, has quadrupled its renewable
targets, and aims to build a world-class solar industry.
National policy in Canada usu-ally undercuts renewables, despite
contrary rhetoric. As much of the world moves forward to a
sustain-able future, why is Canada lagging?

Conservatives have shortchanged veterans
It seems to me that many Con-servatives are supportive of the
military. Not the Harper Conser-vatives. ey have underfunded
Veteran A airs, closed nine o ces across the country, eliminated
in-jured veteran pensions, and cut 900 Veteran A air jobs.
Over an eight-year period, they Scrooged $1.13 billion from vets
and returned it to general revenue. Shameful. How bad is it? ey
spent $750,000 of taxpayer money
to battle vets in court and lost with Judge Robert Barnes
concluding the clawbacks create a particularly harsh e ect on the
most seriously disabled Canadian Forces mem-bers and I reject it
universally. No mincing words there.
ose same clawbacks must be where they found the $28 mil-lion to
commemorate the War of 1812 bicentennial. ey love the pomp and
ceremony but not the vets. Funding for the World War I centenary
you ask? Simple. ey demanded that Heritage Canada, Veteran A airs
and the National Defence Department, all under-funded, pay for the
various events and commemorations out of their existing budgets. It
looks like the Harper Conservatives care about the photo ops, but
not the vets themselves. If you are an actual military supporter,
remember that when youre voting on Oct. 19.

Glacier Resorts has begun the process of amending its master
plan for the Jumbo Glacier Re-sort project, scaling back the scope
of the project to make it less than the 2,000-bed threshold that
triggers a provincial en-vironmental assessment process.
Jumbo Glacier Moun-tain Resort Municipal-ity has received copies
of two letters between Phedias Project Man-agement Corp. presi-dent
Oberto Oberti and Ministry of Forests senior project manager Bill
Hunter, the second of which contains revised drawings of the
proposed Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort village along with
statistics outlining 1,997 bed units built through three
stages.
Neither letter was ad-dressed to Jumbo coun-cil; the
municipality sim-ply received copies for information purposes.
Theres no actual proposal as a result of these correspondences,
and in the meantime we [council] are waiting the outcome of
negotiations between the province and the proponent, said Jumbo
mayor Greg Deck.
The first of the two let-ters was sent by Hunter to Oberti on
Aug. 12 and, in it, Hunter says that in response to a Glacier
Resort Ltd. inquiry fol-lowing the expiration of its environmental
assess-ment certificate for the Jumbo Glacier Resort project, the
ministry has reviewed the Jumbo Glacier resort master development
agreement and has determined the proponent can submit a modified
resort master plan to the ministry for review.
We will require a preliminary overview of the new proposal in
order to determine spe-cific master plan infor-mation requirements
and the procedural steps of
our review, including consultation require-ments with other
agen-cies and First Nations, going forward, Hunter wrote, adding
that such an overview would need to include balanced re-sort
capacity; number of bed units; a phasing schedule; a spatial
lay-out; an updated business plan reflecting the new reduced
balanced resort capacity and reduced bed units; and updated data on
projected skier visits and other market-based
assumptions.The other letter, dated
Sept. 4, was sent from Oberti to Hunter and contained the
revised drawings and bed unit count. In it, Oberti wrote that this
correspondence addressed three of the points (bed units, phas-ing
schedule and spatial layout) mentioned by Hunter in his Aug. 12
letter.
We are working on the response to all the other points of your
letter but we would like to share with you our approach as we move
forward to fa-cilitate your review and to prepare the responses to
other points in your letter, starting with a re-sort village plan
that is in the right direction, wrote Oberti.
Neither Hunter nor Oberti mentioned the review process that the
scaled-back proposal would be subject to by name, but ministry
spokesperson Greig Bethel previously indi-
cated to The Pioneer that it would be the all season resort
policy.
The bed unit statistics for the three phases of the resort
included 551 beds in the first stage, 917 in the next stage, and
then a further 529 in the final of the three stages.
Among the 1,997 to-tal beds are 24 bed and breakfast beds; 819
con-dominium beds; 180 duplex beds; 180 hotel beds; and 450
single-family chalet beds. The statistics also include 298 employee
bed units. Several other buildings are also outlined in the plans,
including various sorts of service and utility buildings, amenities
such as a place of worship, a firehall, a convention centre, a
society building, an interpretive centre, at least four daylodges
and a teahouse on top of one of the resorts glaciers.
No decision on petition
Deck asked if there was any update on the West Kootenay
EcoSo-cietys petition against the provinces decision to create
Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Munic-ipality, which was heard in the
BC Supreme Court in July.
Jumbo chief adminis-trator Mark Read replied hes heard nothing
yet and theres little else to do on the matter except wait for
judge Grace Choi to make her decision.

reading at Otter books on October 25 at 11 a.m. to coincide with

of a womans scream hurls Tom Austen into the middle of a murder
plot on board the sleek passenger train The Canadian. Who is
responsible for the death of lovely Cath-erine Saks? As Tom
investigates the strange collection of travellers who share Car

Dateline: Oct. 19, 1915When the announcement that
J.A. Erickson, of the Grand Cen-tral Hotel in Nelson, has o ered
to give Koots, the black bear mascot of the 54th Kootenay
Battalion, a home while his masters are away at the front, it is
expected that a unanimous sigh of relief will rise from the camp at
Vernon.
It is stated on reliable authority that when the news was
imparted to the little fellow that he was to be le behind, two
large tears welled up in his amber eyes, over owed and ran down his
nose.
With the assurance that his friends in Nelson would surely take
care of him, the tears ceased and he seems easier in his mind.
e date has not yet been set for him to take leave of his many
friends in the Battalion and make his journey to Nelson but Mr.
Er-ickson states that when he arrives he will nd a nice quiet yard
to live in with a patch of sunlight in which to bask and dream of
what might have been if things had not trans-pired to make them
what they are.
Dateline: Oct. 21, 1915It is a long cry from the shell
torn elds of northern France and Belgium to Nelson, but the
display of war relics in the windows of the
Hudsons Bay store brings those distant battle elds very close to
the spectator. Forty souvenirs are on view, strange objects to the
eyes of the uninitiated, but all too familiar to the Canadian boys
in the trenches.
Perhaps the most gruesomely signi cant is the bullet pierced
German helmet, on the inside of which, it is said, the Teuton blood
stains may be clearly seen.
e huge .42 centimeter shells are the only things that were not
actually used in the con ict, being exact models of these gigantic
mis-siles used by the German artillery. In addition, a number of
photographs taken from the actual scenes of operation are
shown.
Dateline: Oct. 30, 1915 ere was no lack of enthusiasm
in the greetings accorded each of the artists who took part in
the concert, which preceded the dance
given by Clan Johnstone in aid of the Patriotic Fund in Eagle
Hall last night. Fourteen carefully selected numbers made up the
program of the concert which was opened to the skirl o the pipes
wielded by Past Chief W. McLeary, whose performance on the national
instru-ment of the clansmen was much appreciated.
With the exception, perhaps of one of the selections that dri ed
far from the bonny Dee side, when one quartet sang Hawaiian Love
Song, most of the selections served to keep up the heiland
atmosphere by extolling the praises of the bonny land o haggis and
heather.
A er the musical portion of the evening was over, the chairs
were quickly moved into the galleries and the oor cleared for
dancing a er which refreshments were served.
Dateline: Oct. 30, 1915An appreciative audience was
most delightfully entertained at the Hudsons Bay Companys store
yesterday a ernoon when Mrs. Mc-Michael, Canadian representative of
the H.W. Gossard Co. Chicago, gave a talk on Scienti c Corsetry and
an exhibition of the beautiful Gossard Corsets on several living
models.
Mrs. McMichael explained in a most logical manner, how women can
protect their health and improve their appearance by the use of a
proper corset.
She lays much stress upon correct poise and the supporting
corset which induces this, and shows in a most convincing manner
how the Gossard Corsets procures for women these bene cial results
in health and comfort, and at the same time gives the utmost in
style.
Tea was served at the close of the lecture and all present voted
the a ernoon a pleasant and most pro table one. A further lecture
will be held this a ernoon which will include advice to mothers on
corseting of young girls.

Some might think that li-braries are casualties of the digital
age, gone the way of telephone booths and fax machines. And yet,
while its getting harder to nd a phone booth, its getting easier to
nd a library. Oc-tober is Canadian Library Month, a good time to re
ect on the place of libraries in society.
When I look in the library mir-ror, what I see is adaptability
and innovation. I see libraries that have embraced the digital age,
expand-ing their repertoire to include informational and
educational databases, eBooks, and audio in addition to physical
holdings.
As for libraries themselves, our days as simply warehouses for
books are long gone. We are the social hub of the community, where
kids come to storytimes, teens get tutored, grandparents get
computer training and people of all kinds come to meet, learn, and
enjoy.
e de nition of library has ex-panded, but lovers of traditional
books continue to nd more ways to share them. A recent Macleans
magazine article describes the ef-forts humans go to in order to do
just that, with libraries popping up in airports, hotels, and
subway stations. It describes a library in Burundi lled with giant,
locally-made hammocks to read in. And it lauds the unstoppable
librarians who deliver books in the Gobi Desert by camel or in Laos
via an elephant named Boom-Boom.
Little Free Libraries have sprung up everywhere there are
several in the Nelson area and more than 40 now in Vancouver with
their
take-a-book-leave-a-book philoso-phy. Sometimes the book you
pick up will come with an anonymous note; I picked one up at a
tiny, per-fect library just o Commercial Drive with a note that
read: this book changed my life.
Whichever way you get your book o the shelf or online books
indeed have that ability. In our new cookbook Pairings: a
compendium of beloved recipes and books from the chefs of Nelson
(to be launched at our 95th birthday party on Oct. 27) our local
kitchen wizards told us about the book that changed their lives.
Chances are, you have one too.
To celebrate Library Month, wed like you to share the name of a
book youve loved; one that picked you up when you were down, taught
you the thing you needed to know, inspired you, made you think,
changed your life. Write it down with a bit about why you chose it,
drop your entry in the box across from the circulation desk, and
well
draw for a copy of our gorgeous new cookbook.
And well make up a reading list (keeping your comments
anony-mous) to inspire readers through the year great books you can
read any which way you choose.
In England, British Telecom launched an adopt-a-kiosk pro-gram a
few years ago, o ering communities a chance to buy de-funct
telephone booths for about two bucks apiece. ose classic red
telephone boxes became all sorts of good things including
libraries. Making it harder to nd a phone, but easier yet to nd a
library. When you nd one, you can use your smartphone to call your
mom to tell her about it (on which you can also read a book, by the
way).
Where will you nd the book that will change your life?

Public Library.

When audience members arrive at the Capitol Theatre next week
for the two-night run of James and Jamesy In the Dark, they may be
surprised to learn that the shows only illumination comes from the
stars themselves.
These are two characters who are, in some respects, lights,
Aar-on Malkin, otherwise known as James, told the Star. And
whatever theyre looking at is illuminated, We dynamically light the
show as we perform it.
That means that rather than focusing on the actors, the
audi-ences attention will be drawn in the direction of whatever the
pair happens to be looking at.
These are two characters who independently believe theyre alone
in their existence, so what theyve experienced is limited. But when
they arrive in the space together theyre exposed to the other and
they realize there are these parts of themselves theyve never
ac-knowledged.
The conceit grew from the pairs desire to create a show
appropri-ate for an outdoor festival. They experimented with it at
live venues and were thrilled with the results.
We knew we had to have some sort of lights with us, so we
incor-porated them into the costumes. The first weekend we
performed was an amazing experience be-cause we could create
theatrical environments wherever we went, said Alastair Knowles,
who plays Jamesy.
At one point a whole group gathered on a hilltop and they were a
chorus, singing. We werent even directing them. One person stepped
in as the conductor while we lit them, and the people started to
take on these roles. And then
we galloped off like horses leav-ing them thinking what just
hap-pened?
The show has a philosophical bent, said Knowles, and is a
cel-ebration of discovery.
Were embodiments of discov-ery. The literal discovery of another
person, or the discovery that we have a back that creates a whole
world of physical bewilderment. It gets fast-paced and really
funny, this amazing experience of dis-covering all the
possibilities out there and what to do with those possibilities
when you realize you have no idea whats out there.
Step by step, they figure it out.We move from ourselves on
the stage into realizing that beyond the stage is an
audience.
That moment is huge for the characters, who then joyously tear
down the fourth wall and pull the audiences into the creation
process.
We realize they react to us! And we react to them! And then we
create moments with the audi-ence that are discoveries for us,
dis-coveries for the audience, and we have that joy of shared
creation, said Jamesy.
Weve finessed all weve learned from touring over the course of
the summer and we believe weve created a piece that is
intellectu-ally stimulating and has a core of joyous celebration of
being.
James and Jamesy In the Dark will play on Oct. 14 and 15 at 8
p.m.
Tickets are $23 for adults and $15 for students and

I associate them with joyL.V. Rogers drama class works with
thespians James
and Jamesy
Will JohnsonNelson Star
Morgan Beck, Lily Miller and Victoria Hayes have been attending
James and Jamseys improvi-sation and physical comedy workshops for
three years now, and every time the L.V. Rogers students discover
something new about themselves and the creative process.
When they do anything, they do it completely and totally. And
even if its weird theyre not hold-ing back at all, Beck told the
Star. I really love the exercise Impulse River, which is every-one
basically going crazy and doing improv and feeding off each
other.
The kids also participated in a dialogue exercise in which the
only line the students were al-lowed to speak back and forth was I
am the real Dracula, discussed body language and status, and
experimented with the things they learned.
And though those unfamil-iar with drama education might have
been startled by the his-trionic, animal-like displays during the
class on Wednesday evenings, the three girls believe the exercises
are cathartic.
You have to surrender your-self completely to the other per-son
and expect the same from them in return, said Miller. During the
first year I couldnt do it and I found it really scary, because you
have to give all your emotion, but by the second year I knew what
was happening. Its been fun to grow with them.
Hayes agreed. Shes attended six of James and Jamesys
work-shops.
At first I barely said a word but now my throats so raw from
screaming because Im invested in doing these exercises, and Im
getting so much more from them every time I do it.
For her, the most thrilling part is knowing theyre success-ful
working artists.
Theyre very interesting characters themselves. Theyre inspiring
to watch because theyve figured this out. Theyre
doing something with theatre and making money doing it, she
said. I associate them with joy.
Teacher Robyn Sheppard said she was thrilled to host the
pair.
I love having James and Jamesy in my classroom because they
remind the kids how vi-tal it is to be open to creative expression.
In the creative arts its so vital to listen to our cre-ative
impulses, the what ifs and
they remind all of us, myself in-cluded, to engage in play. And
through that it creates powerful connections.
Sheppard had a blast during the class.
This year the out-of-timetable drama class has a number of
projects. In the coming months they will mount a half-hour ver-sion
of Dracula, an adaptation of Antony and Cleopatra and
they will tour to Summerland, and their main production The
Miracle Worker, which they will perform at the Capitol Theatre in
May.
Having the students able to work side-by-side with profes-sional
artists is amazing. They can see the commitment to these exercises
manifested in brilliant works of art. Its a wonderful ex-perience
for those kids.
Victoria Hayes and Quinn Barron (top) participated in James and
Jamesys improvisation exercise Impulse River with Aaron Malkin
(inset). The students fed off each others energy while they
squawked, stomped around the room, crawled on all fours and
shrieked histrionically. Will Johnson photos

its new office Tuesday at 502 Victoria St. as (above from left)
Gary Whitfield, managing director for Western Canada, Nelson
Chamber of Commerce executive director Tom Thomson, city councillor
Janice Morrison, and Nelson branch manager Rob Trickey helped cut
the ribbon. The local investment and financial planning firm moved
in April from 602 Baker St. to the former BC Assessment Authority
office. Trickey explained they simply outgrew the old space and
will continue to grow, as they expect to add three more financial
advisors over the next year. The new location also offers client
parking that wasnt available previously. And its closer to Oso
Negro, Trickey joked. As part of the celebra-tion, Whitfield
