More than one thou-sand artists signed up for a new BC Artist Registry within a week of its launch last Wednesday by the BC
Alliance for Arts + Culture.
Adult artists in all disciplines who reside in British Columbia were invited to be counted in the online BC Artist Registry,
whether their arts prac-tice is their full-time or part-timecareer, or an avocational pursuit.
“The BC Artist Registry is based on ex-amples in Saskatchewan and other regions,” ac-
cording to Alliance executive director Rob Gloor, “and will help to advance the province’scultural sec-tor through quality re-search and advocacy.
“The long term goal
is to build on basic in-formational tools, such as the census, to bet-ter understand the situation of artists in British Columbia,” continued Gloor. ”For e x a mp l e , a c c o r d i n g
to Statistics Canada, there are 25,000 artists in BC, but that num-ber only includes those whose primary source of income is their art. If their primary income issomething else, such
as teaching, the census does not count them as artists. Through the BC Artist Registry, we will have a platform to learn more about all artists in ourprovince, regard-less of how much their art contributes to their income.”
Through collabora-tion with cultural as-sociations, funders, arts service providers, and municipalities to promote participation through their networks, the Alliance and itspart-ners can ensure that art-ists from all artistic dis-ciplines and all regions across the province have the opportunity to be counted. Then, when a partner organi-zation wishes toconduct a survey or consult with artists, the Alliance will have the mechanism to invite a ready group of participants through the BC Artist Registry.
The Registry will be an important tool for reaching artists directly, inviting their partici-pation in surveys and other types of consulta-tion.
The BC Artist Registry uses a simple online form record-ing an artist’s name, contact information, and field(s) of artistic discipline. Joining the Registry is free, and the personalinforma-tion remains private and confidential. From time to time, artists on the Registry will be in-vited to participate in more detailed surveys or other consultations. TheRegistry will be open for ongoing reg-istration with no dead-line, to ensure a grow-ing resource for mean-ingful statistics and re-search in our province’s cultural sector.
Artists from all dis-ciplines are invited to add their names and be counted. It’s simple: visit allianceforarts.com/bc-artist-registry and com-plete the short online form.Participation in the registry is free and your personal informa-tion is confidential.
Get the word out. Invite those in your network to participate and be counted by shar-ing the link alliance-forarts.com/bc-artist-registry and spread the word on social me-diausing the hashtag #BCartistregistry.

Three voices of Kootenay adoptionLeft to right: Pnina Shames adopted her son Michael from Honduras as a single woman in her 40s. Chuck Bennett was adopted as a baby by his parents Doug and Carole. Sandy Leonard (right) was one of the last First Nations babies to be adopted to a non-native family in Saskatchewan. She has an intensely close relationship with her mother Mary-Lou.
In honour of National Adoption Month Black Press interviewed three West Kootenay residents whose lives have been touched by adoption

West Kootenay residents P’nina Shames, Chuck Bennett and Sandy Leonard all have radically different adoption stories, each with light and dark elements, but all three are eager to talk about their families and the love in their lives.
Shames, who has worked for years as an adoption professional with prospective parents, believes most people don’t realize how ubiquitous adoption is.
“Adoption is everywhere but most people don’t know it.”In honour of National Adoption Month, Black Press met with
each of them to hear their stories.
Shames had just landed in Honduras, single and 45, to pick up a six-week-old baby boy she adopted, when she found herself overwhelmed by the gravity of her situation.
“I didn’t speak Spanish and I decided that the best thing to do would be to start crying. Surely someone would help me. I was genuinely like ‘oh, my God’ but then these incredible people helped me find a taxi to get where I was going. They took me to where Michael was.”
The child of an impoverished woman Shames never met, Michael was removed from his family home after the deaths of his siblings. She was in love with him.
“His birth mom was not in a position to raise him — she was very poor and she’d already lost some of her children through malnutrition and poverty. So he was her sixth, I believe.”
Shames realizes that under the same circumstances in 2015, the same adoption would be “way more difficult and costly,” but she’s pleased she acted when she did.
“It’s the best job I ever had. It’s the hardest job I ever had. If I have one regret in life it’s that I only adopted one child.”
Michael is now 28 and is studying history and cultural anthro-pology at Kwantlen University. And though he’s firmly situated in his Canadian context, he still had an opportunity to see where he came from.
“I always told him if you ever want to go back and see where you came from, we can do it. We went back when he was 12,” Shames said.
“We looked for his birth mom but it was shortly after Hurricane Mitch. There was still lots of rubble and fallen down buildings, and the people in the poorest places were worst affected. It’s very possible whatever biological family members Michael had were swept away in the hurricane.”
But Shames doesn’t like to think of Michael as being lucky, but rather counts herself as the one who is blessed.
“I get choked up thinking about how lucky I am that I got to raise him.”
According to Chuck Bennett, “adoption is an individual journey for everyone.” Adopted when he was seven days old by Nelsonites Doug and Carole Bennett, the second of three adopted children, his Australian mother left the country shortly after his birth.
“I’ve always known I was adopted. For as long as I was old enough to know, I knew. I struggled with it when I was a kid, a lot. For me it was a form of rejection — somebody in the world gave me away — and I don’t think people talk about that because they don’t want to.”
He spent a lot of his youth feeling angry.“I was really angry and it was hard on my parents. I ran away
from home. I had challenges.”And a lot of that anger was directed at his birth mother, who
had another son 13 months later and decided to keep him. Bennett ultimately tracked the pair down shortly after the Sydney Olympics, and invited his brother Ken to visit him in Canada. It was during a family Christmas with him that he was struck by a realization: “I had the better gig.”
“I was a typical middle class kid — Dad worked hard, Mom was at home. We were a traditional, Catholic, loving family…that’s about as good as it gets in a lot of ways. I have an awesome life.”
That was huge for him to figure out.“All those years fixating on the rejection, it was so stupid. That
changed everything for me. Suddenly I wasn’t angry. I was grate-ful. It could’ve been totally different.”
And though he hasn’t maintained a relationship with his bio-logical mother, and feels no desire to find his birth father, he feels
like he’s moved along and can now focus on the real important relationship in his life: the one with his adoptive parents.
“They are my parents. There are no other parents. We’ve always been the Bennetts.”
Sandy Leonard was one of the last two First Nations babies adopted by non-native families in Saskatchewan, and ultimately went home with Mary-Lou and Paul Leonard when she was less than a month old — who already had a son, but hoped to have a daughter as well.
“They’re fantastic people. With my brother there was a really long birth and they wanted another kid but didn’t want to go through that again. She wanted a baby girl and she got one.”
Leonard can remember the moment her mother told her she was adopted.
“I was four, sitting in a shopping cart in K-Mart, and I kept noticing people asking my Mom ‘who’s this?’ I asked her what adopted meant and she said ‘I didn’t give birth to you, you have another mommy elsewhere.’”
Though that made her sad, it wasn’t until her teens that she started to wonder about her biological mother.
“I was wondering ‘do I look like her?’ and I wanted to know where she was at. It wasn’t the best experience meeting her, but it certainly answered a lot of questions I’d accumulated over the years. That all got put to rest.”
When all is said and done, Leonard is glad her mother made the decision to give her up.
“She wasn’t ready. I’m glad she did because otherwise I would’ve had a very different life. Northern Saskatchewan, I’m not saying it’s better or worse, but it would be different. And I’m really thankful for the life I have now.”
That includes an intensely close relationship with her parents.“My Mom is my Mom. I’ve never thought of her any different.
She’s the one who taught me how to smile, how to laugh, how to pick myself up and dust myself off and carry on. She’s my Mom, and it’s the same thing with my Dad.”
And she demonstrated a selfless lifestyle Leonard would like to emulate, as evidenced by Mary Lou’s willingness to take in one of her troubled friends during a hard time.
“That’s my Mom. She’s a true Mom to everybody.”

Greenwood Public Library played host to Kaslo-based wildlife and land-scape photographer Jim Lawrence and documentaryfilmmaker Miriam Needoba last Wednesday as the pair continued it’s southern interior tour in promotion of Needoba’s shortfilm entitled Eyes in the Forest: The Portraiture of Jim Lawrence.
The 12 minute video showcases the photography of Lawrence as well as featuring Needoba’s cinematographic vision of thelargely untouched Selkirk Mountain range and the creatures that call it home.
The film features a montage of Lawrence’s still photographs, interlaced with video footage of him in the field, a family of grizzlies in search of food, and some experimental imagery as well, all showcased amidst an engag-
ing environmental soundscape and Lawrence’s gentle narration.
“I wanted to provide an experi-ence — an intimate view of this world that is often hidden from sight but is deeply impacted byhuman action,” says Needoba. “I hoped that representing their world, and Jim’s experience of it, would inspire greater empathy and understanding for the wildlife we so admire.”
Needoba and Lawrence have also joined forces to begin a petition against grizzly trophy hunting, which sees the killing of hundreds of bears each year. They are hoping to attract thousands of signatures and have been offered the help of Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall in presenting the petition to the provincial legislature. For more information, contact Needoba at small-townfilms.com.

Rossland Climate VigilA climate vigil is
being organized out-side the Rossland Public Library on Sunday, Nov. 29 at 12:30 p.m. The vigil is being organized by the West Kootenay EcoSociety Rossland team on the eve of the Paris UN climate sum-mit in solidarity with the global community. Rosslanders will join people around the world to demand Canada does its fair share in reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to 100 per cent renewable energy, as well as supporting the most vulnerable people around the globe.
“With our newly elected government in Ottawa, I am finally hopeful and encour-aged that Canada will take a leadership role to address the challeng-es of climate change. Many thanks to the West
Kootenay EcoSociety for organizing this event. It’s a small gesture of Rossland’s support for real change,” says Rossland’s Mayor Kathy Moore.
“We want to send a clear message of sup-port to our newly elected federal leaders and gov-ernment to support a re-newable energy future,” says Jayne Doxtater, local EcoSociety organizer in Rossland. “I’m excited that our government has promised to keep global warming below two degrees by the end of the century and they can make that happen in Paris with better com-mitments.”
“I’m excited to have the privilege to be in Paris for the summit and the climate march,” says Montana Burgess, Community Organizer with the West Kootenay
EcoSociety. “In the wake of the horrific attacks on Nov. 13 in Paris and Beirut, it’s more impor-tant than ever that we stand together for jus-tice, peace and dealing with the climate crisis at home in the Kootenays and around the world.”
The community is in-vited to bring signs and banners with messages of hope for a future with 100 per cent renewable energy, and a candle for the vigil. Community members are encour-aged to dress warmly and bring their friends and families.
Other West Kootenay events are being orga-nized in Nelson and Castlegar also on Nov. 29. Follow the local rallies, marches and vigils online and share your photos and up-dates using the hashtag: #KootsClimateRally.

Pacific Blue Cross asks British Columbians to #sharethecare in support of B.C. charitiesUntil December 6, Pacific Blue
Cross is asking British Columbians to Share the Care and help give $75,000 to five organizations improving health and wellbeing in British Columbia.
To celebrate its 75th anniversary, Pacific Blue Cross asked members of its Health Foundation to vote from a list of non-profit organizations who have received past funding. The vote led to five finalists being chosen for a video storytelling campaign.
In each video, a volunteer shares a personal connection to their organiza-tion. Pacific Blue Cross has promised each organization a $5,000 donation for participating. 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 donations increased to $50,000 and $10,000 respectively.
British Columbians are encour-
aged to vote at www.pac.bluecross.ca/75thAnniversary
The five finalists are:· West Kootenay Community TEETH Clinic Society· Charlford House Society for Women· Canim Lake Band – Tsq’escenemc People· Streetohome· Crisis Intervention & Suicide Prevention Centre of BC
“One of the outcomes of our cam-paign is the illumination of grass roots organizations that many British Columbians don’t know about,” says Richard Taylor, Chair of the Pacific Blue Cross Health Foundation. “We are grateful to all participants and the exceptional volunteers who allowed us to share their personal stories.”
Finalists are also spreading the word through social media using the hashtag#sharethecare. Winners will be announced in early January.

Selkirk College asks: Are you made for trades?Selkirk College Welding
Program instructor Bruce Davis’s passion for his trade is obvious when he starts talking about his early days as a student at Nelson’s Silver King Campus.
“I always strive to be better,” the 34-year-old says. “The second I laid my first [welding] bead, I thought ‘that’s not very good, I want to make it better.’ When you take pride in what you do, it helps make the entire process a lot more enjoyable.”
After graduating from Stanley Humphries Secondary in Castlegar, moved from job to job across Canada for five years and then moved to Kelowna where he worked as a saw operator. When a friend told him about his work as a welder and the kind of money he was earning, Davis started saving for a return to school. In 2003, he returned home and took the Welding Foundation Program at Selkirk College.
“Other than the money, the first thing I realized is that this is en-joyable way to make a living,” says Davis. “It’s fun and interesting, you are not sitting behind a desk. You are building something with your hands and that’s very fulfilling.”
After completing the program at the Silver King Campus, Davis moved to the Edmonton area. While working an entry-level position at Enerflex, his talents were recognized and the energy industry supplier paid to have him complete his Red Seal journeyper-son ticket at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT). After working for Enerflex for five years, Davis once again returned to his roots in the West Kootenay.
Last January, Davis was hired by Selkirk College to teach in the shops where he first made sparks fly.
“I always loved the schooling aspect of it,” he says. “When I was working at Enerflex, they would have me help train the new weld-ers which I found quite enjoyable. Getting to teach people how to weld is an amazing job.”
Pointing High School Students Towards Trades
Twice a year, Selkirk College introduces high school students to the various trades’ pathways through Made For Trades. On
Friday, November 27 students from high schools across the West Kootenay-Boundary will descend on the Silver King Campus to take a closer look at Welding, Metal Fabrication, Heavy Mechanics, Millwright/Machinist, Fine Woodworking, Carpentry, Electrical, Hairdressing and Esthetics.
“The best way to get students enthusiastic about their potential options is to show them what goes on in the shops,” says Selkirk College Recruitment Specialist Aimie Chernoff. “It’s always a great day for both the high school students and the college staff who open their shops to young people who are eager to find out more.”
At this year’s Made For Trades, several current Selkirk College students will be working with instructors to run the high school participants through hands-on lessons that will introduce basic elements of the programs.
“I’m excited to help,” says Welding Program student Jorrin McIver. “A lot of high school students might be intimidated with the shop experience and I want to show them that once you know your general safety, it’s a fun place to be.”
Jorrin is one of several trades students who has entered Selkirk College through the provincial government’s ACE IT Program (Accelerated Credit Enrolment in Industry Training). In partnership with local school districts, students who successfully complete the ACE IT program earn credit to-ward both high school graduation and a post-secondary credential.
“I will graduate from high school having completed the Welding Foundation Program and then I can get a job a lot faster,” says Jorrin, who will complete his training at Selkirk College before he graduates from Grand Forks Secondary School. “It’s great be-cause you don’t have to wait until after the summer to start college.”
Sara Sohm spent her Grade 12 year in the ACE IT program in her home of Kitimat where she took the Millwright/Machinist Program at Northwest Community College. Deciding that welding was more of an interest, this September she moved to Nelson to build on her education at the Silver King Campus.
“It’s so nice for your Grade 12 year to be mostly doing shop work, it’s not sitting in a classroom for eight hours a day,” says Sohm, who will also be a student instructor at Made For Trades.
Davis is pleased to see the en-thusiasm of his current students being channeled into helping inspire future students. He says the students that attend Made For Trades will leave with plenty to think about.
“The money aspect is huge for young people, but I want students to know that this is fun,” says Davis. “I hope they will be intrigued by welding and want to find out more. It’s a great trade and Selkirk College is the right place to get started.”
Find out more about Selkirk College’s School of Industry & Trades Training at selkirk.ca/school/industry-and-trades-training.
Selkirk College will open its doors to future students at the Nov. 27 Made For Trades day at Nelson’s Silver King Campus. In the Welding Program shop, current students will be helping run the high school participants through hands-on exercises. Taking part in the introduction will be (L-R) student Sebastian Sullivan, student Jorrin McIver, Welding Program instructor Bruce Davis and student Sara Sohm.

Place names
Railway named Meadows in 1893One hundred twenty-first in an alpha-
betical series on West Kootenay/Boundary place names
Meadows — also known as Meadow Spur, Meadows Siding, and Meadows Junction — was one of the original stops on the Nelson and Fort Sheppard Railway, and first mentioned in the Nelson Tribune of Dec. 14, 1893. A small farming community developed there.
The Spokane Weekly Spokesman Review of Oct. 3, 1895 wrote: “In about an hour’s ride … over the Nelson and Fort Sheppard railroad one arrives at Meadows Siding, a lovely valley lying between the ranges of mountains divided by Beaver creek and further east by the north fork of the Salmon.”
A school operated under the name Meadow Spur from at least 1918 to 1941.
Today DriveBC refers to it as Meadows Junction, for it’s at the intersection of Highway 3B and the bottom of the Bombi Pass on the Salmo/Fruitvale side.
The BC Geographic Names website indi-cates there was also a railway siding there as of 1956 named Archibald, presumably after Cyril Isaac (Barney) Archibald (1877-1941), manager of Salmo’s Kootenay Shingle Co.
There’s still an Archibald Road and an Archibald Creek at Meadows. The latter was called Meadow Creek on a 1912 map, but labelled “Archibald (Caribou) Creek” on a 1915 map. Land surveyor W.S. Drewry apparently renamed the creek Archibald.
MELVILLEThis obscure townsite was first mentioned
in the Grand Forks Miner of April 30, 1898: “A new town on the Dewdney trail has been laid out where it crosses Big Sheep Creek to be known as Melville, in honor of Magistrate Melville Newton of Rossland. Mr. Fred Lindsburg, of Rossland, is erecting a new hotel and will shortly put up a corral and barn for the accommodation of the travelling public.”
William Melville Newton (1840-1915) was a justice of the peace and a partner with Ross Thompson in the Rossland townsite company. He was also involved in the promotion of townsites at Pilot Bay and Sayward, chaired Rossland’s incorporation committee, and was one of the city’s first school trustees.
He was temporarily mining recorder for the area as well, but according to an early history, “his arbitrary methods of doing business for miners and prospectors demanded a change.”
An ad appeared in the Rossland Evening Record on Nov. 4, 1898 for “The Melville Hotel, Townsite of Melville, Big Sheep Creek. Now offering accommodation for all parties visiting Sophie Mountain or Christina Lake district.” The hotel was still operating as of July 1899, but the town didn’t otherwise go anywhere.
Clara Graham wrote in Kootenay Mosaic that Melville “gave a flickering promise of importance which did not materialize.” It was last mentioned in the Cascade Record of Aug. 26, 1899.
Newton left Rossland in 1899 for Auckland, New Zealand and died there.
MILES’ FERRYMiles’ Ferry was where colourful former
policeman John (Paddy) Miles (1848-1908) ran a rowboat across the Kootenay River while the City of Nelson’s power plant was under construction.
The name apparently applied to both sides of the river and was first mentioned in the Nelson Canadian of June 27, 1906 when the board of license commissioners met to consider “the application of John Miles for an hotel license at Miles’ Ferry.” He was turned down on the grounds that there was no demand and selling liquor close to the power plant was undesirable. In frustration, he accosted Mayor William Gillett using “abusive language,” for which he was fined $20.
Miles Ferry was a spur on the CPR time-table before Sept. 8, 1907.
On May 24, 1908, Miles was rowing Jack Sharples and John Richmond across the river when their boat was swept over Bonnington Falls. Only Sharples’ body was recovered.
A story on the tragedy in the Nelson Daily News related that “For some years Paddy has been looking after a ranch of his near the city power plant and ‘Miles Ferry’ and ‘Miles Crossing’ are as well known here as the city itself.”
Someone else apparently ran the ferry after Miles’ death. Miles’ Ferry was mentioned in the Nelson Daily News of Oct. 28, 1909 and in the 1910 civic directory as a CPR flag station, but after that the name died out.

MUSIC GALA SHOWCASES LOCAL TALENTMusic student Reese Rondeau sings “I’m Wishing” (Donna Rhodenizer, composer) with Barb Peters accompanying him on the piano.

Despite having to learn a lot in a short time, the new in-terim curator for gal-lery 2 is enjoying her time in Grand Forks. Jessie Short came to the Boundary from Calgary at the begin-ning of November after accepting the position, which came open after Ted Fogg went on an extended leave.
“I just moved back to Alberta after 13 years in Ontario,” she said. “I did all my school out in Ontario. I just decided that I wanted to be clos-er to family.”
Short was working in Calgary as a videogra-pher and as mail car-rier for Canada Post. She was glad to get back into the arts after a few years away.
“I kind of knew Liz (Barron, gallery execu-tive director) before and
she told me I should apply back in August,” said Short. “She said they needed someone to come in and fill in rather quickly. It all went pretty quick. I was able to have the flexibil-ity to come here right away for a little bit and help.”
Although she is only filling for a short time, Short is glad to get the chance to work in the arts community again.
“Right now it’s just
a fill in thing which is great,” she said. “I do have a background in the arts so it’s nice to work in the arts again and use my skills and get some experience and meet some people.”
Short has a Master’s Degree in Sociology and wrote about con-temporary Metis visual cultures in her master’s thesis. “That gave me a broader understanding of contemporary visual culture in Canada but
more from an indige-nous perspective,” said Short, who is half-Me-tis. “I ran a non-profit organization for two years in Toronto which was a curatorial collec-tive. It’s an organization that looks after and pro-motes the work of in-digenous curators and artists. So I definitely come from more of an indigenous background in visual arts. It’s really interesting to have that background and look at
other artists as well who aren’t indigenous.”
Short said it’s inter-esting to see the cross-over in the visual arts among indigenous art-ists and non-indigenous artists. “I think there’s a lot of really good places for dialogue,” she said.
Short did her school-ing in Ontario. She re-ceived her undergradu-ate training at Trent University and received her master’s from Brock University.
Short is enjoying the position at the gallery so far and enjoys meet-ing many interesting people.
“The curator works with the director, the two positions works quite closely together, to put together the exhibi-tions,” she said. “Usually at a gallery you plan two years ahead. So coming in here all the upcom-ing exhibitions have already been planned already. I get to help im-plement them though. I’ll do some writing for some of them and help publicize them.”
The curator position is also important for acting as a go-between
for the gallery and the artists, she said. “It can be pretty administrative getting contracts out to artists,” she said, “but it can be creative as well whether by writing or how you present an ex-hibition visually.”
Short is busy catch-ing up on emails and learning where things are and how things work. She loves the gal-lery building and is cu-rious about the history of the old court house.
“The gallery is re-ally interesting — it’s a beautiful building,” she said. “I like the history behind it too. I heard it was a court house and jail. I’m really curious as to whether anyone has any ghost stories about the gallery.”
After living in Calgary and Southern Ontario, Short is happy to be in a small, quiet town. “I love the moun-tains,” she said. “I’m re-ally looking forward to going skiing. I’ve also hiked several times up Observation Mountain. I love the view from the top. I’m also looking forward to trying the borscht.”

Rossland Summit School’s new multi-age class-room celebrated its students’ accomplishments with a Home Learning Expo on Monday and Tuesday.
The multi-age class is open to students from Grades 2 to 5, and every Friday students from the class stay at home, doing self-directed learning with their parents. The expo was a chance for them to show what they’ve been working on so far this year.
“What they’ve been working on this autumn, for this term, are a variety of projects depending on their personal interest,” said class teacher Bridget O’Malley.
Mckenna White, in Grade 3, did projects on hy-draulics and the moon.
For her hydraulics project she made three hy-draulics operated models using store-bought sets.
“The reason why hydraulics are so amazing and useful is because they’re so much stronger than motors because they use the water,” she explained as she showed how her models work.
Marcus Hamm, Grade 5, based his project around the video game Minecraft.
He worked on his reading skills while reading up on how to build things in the game, and learned how to video record what he was doing on screen and how to edit in iVideo so he could make videos showing what he’d built.
“We watched lots of Ted Talks about Minecraft, like how it was educational and stuff,” he explained.
This is the first year RSS has run a multi-age classroom.
“The really unique thing about it is the partner-ship with the families, and that the families play a key role in supporting their children with their personal learning,” said O’Malley.

CHELSEA NOVAKWest Kootenay Advertiser
Clockwise from top left: Therin Rawsthorne, Grade 4, built a wolf diorama, made his own ink, and attended Karate class. Madison Pols, Grade 3, made her cat a scratch post and learned how to draw horses. Marcus Hamm, Grade 5, based his home learn-ing project on the video game Minecraft. He learned how to edit in iVideo and how to make snow globes. He also worked on his piano and learned how to play a song by Katy Perry. Bobby Edge, Grade 3, built animations in Tynker, learning to code and storyboard, and learned about microbes as part of his home learning. Chelsea Novak photos
N e w l y - e l e c t e d Kootenay Columbia MP Wayne Stetski sat in the front row of the Room to Live concert on Friday night, snapping iPhone photos of the six Kootenay divas per-forming. He was among hundreds of Kootenay residents who came out to support the Room to Live campaign, which aims to raise funds for affordable housing units at Ward St. Place.
Featuring perfor-mances from Laura
Landsberg, Nelson cul-tural ambassador Bessie Wapp, Aryn Sherriff, Bo Conlan, Melody Diachun and Sydney Black, the energetic concert also showcased the musical abilities of Clinton Swanson, Doug Stephenson and many others.
“It’s really important that people who live in poverty are treated with dignity. I look at the system a different way, and our systems aren’t fair to people. The work of Nelson CARES is to level that playing field as much as we can,” Nelson
CARES’ Jenny Robinson told the Advertiser be-
forehand.Robinson said most
people don’t realize that it’ssignificantly cheaper to house the homeless than to pay for the ser-vices they need without a home.
“If you don’t have a house, you don’t have anything,” she said. “An acute care bed at the hospital is $1,500 a night. A month’s rent at Ward St. Place is about $400. Do the math. If you have someone that’s ill with a mental health disorder plus physical illness, over the course of their adult lifetime they’re going to cost the system millions of dol-lars.”
N e l s o n - C r e s t o n MLA Michelle Mungall was also in attendance, though Nelson Mayor Deb Kozak couldn’t at-tend because she broke
her arm earlier that day. Speaking to the Advertiser from the hos-pital, she praised the work Nelson CARES is doing.
“I admire the strat-egy the society has used. They’ve raised a lot of money and been so per-sistent. I heard amazing things about the con-cert — I was so mad I couldn’t make it — but I heard the enertainment was fantastic.”
During the concert Valerie Warmington issued the same chal-lenge former Mayor John Dooley made last year: to raise enough money over the course of the evening, aboout $15,000, to renovate a whole room at Ward St. Place.
The fundraising total had not been tallied be-fore deadline.

WEEKLY
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20Aries, things go well this week, but ex-pect a few bumps along the way as well. Learn how to clear these hurdles and you will stay on track.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, keep your eye on the prize, re-sisting the temptation to get swept up in distractions. The longer you can maintain your focus this week, the more likely you are to be successful.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21Luck puts you in the path of someone you have been anxious to meet, Gemini. Use this opportunity this week to ask all the questions you have been wanting to ask.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Persistence is your best ally this week, Cancer. When others give up early, you have the tenacity to continue. Don’t be surprised if others notice your hard work.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Other people appreciate your ability to put a positive spin on things, Leo. Use that talent to help two friends overcome their differences in the next week.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Keep an open mind when someone comes to you with a suggestion, Virgo. Even though you are quick to dismiss it outright, give it a second thought.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, some big challenges are coming your way, but it’s not anything you can’t handle. However, you may need to bring in some reinforcements. Enlist some friends to help out.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, after many weeks of putting in your best effort at work and at home, it very well may be time to take a break. Here’s a chance to book a vacation before the holiday rush.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, even though you are quite persuasive, you cannot always make miracles happen. If someone isn’t moved by your call to action, don’t take it personally.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, there’s not much more you can pile onto your plate without it tipping over. This week lighten your load by asking family to help. They are more than willing.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Make an effort to restore some order to your fi nances, Aquarius. It may be time to curtail your spending, but a close examination of your fi nances won’t cause much panic.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, some mysterious news has piqued your curiosity, and now you may not be sure which direction to go for a few days.

A Castlegar resident placed first in her category at the BC Amateur Bodybuilding Association’s Popeye’s Fall Classic competition.
Amber Larsen, 30, placed first in the Women’s Physique Tall class at Popeye’s Fall Classic, held Nov. 7 in Coquitlam. It was her first bodybuilding competition.
The Physique class is a more recent competition class meant to “turn back the clock to bodybuilding of the 1980s-1990s.”
According to the BC Amateur Bodybuilding Association’s website,
“competitors must present a feminine, hourglass-shaped physique, with an appropriate level of size and condition-ing, but not show the level of develop-ment or conditioning of today’s female bodybuilder.”
“They want to see sort of an hour-glass shape basically,” said Larsen. “So people who can really bring a beautiful, sort of posed, feminine sort of look to the stage.”
She also got first in overall posing for women in the Bodybuilding and Physique classes.
“Posing in the sport of bodybuilding is basically showing off your physique
and showing off your strong points and showing off your assets to the crowd,” explains Larsen. “So most categories have mandatory poses, and so you can kind of have fun with it and play with it. Some people would be really dancy, people with gymnastics backgrounds can kind of make it more gymnastic sort of.”
Winning first in her category has earned Larsen a spot at provincials in June, but she has two years to take them up on the invitation and depending on the full feedback she eventually gets from the Popeye’s Fall Classic judges, she may choose to take an extra season to prepare.
