Fi� y-six years a� er the SS Moyie was taken out of service, a new stern-wheeler is plying the

waters around Kaslo.� e Kootenay Star, a miniature

version of Kootenay Lake’s his-toric sternwheelers, was designed and built by Dave May.

Launched last year, it’s now ready for further testing and inte-rior � nishing. � e boat is 48 feet (14.4 metres) long, 12 feet (three metres) wide, about 12 feet tall, and seats a dozen. Its hydraulic system is driven by diesel motor.

May designed the boat in honour of his father, uncle, and all others who worked on the lake ferry system. “As a young person, I spent many memorable hours travelling on the Anscomb with my father, the mate, and my uncle, who was captain,” he says.

His family moved to Balfour a� er World War II and � rst lived near Fraser’s Landing, where the SS Nasookin ferried cars across the lake to Gray Creek. His rela-tives worked aboard the Anscomb, MV Balfour, and occasionally the SS Moyie — now a museum at Kaslo — when the Anscomb was out of service.

May picked up nautical knowl-edge from his father and for a few years sold newspapers at Kootenay Bay, resulting in many trips on the Anscomb. “At Balfour, we experienced the daily move-ments of the SS Moyie, which we took for granted,” May says. “We thought it would be there forever.”

� ree years ago, he started creating his replica sternwheeler. A professional welder built the hull, and May had help on the hydraulic systems, but otherwise did most of the work himself. He’s mechanically-inclined and worked on wooden boats as a kid but had never built one from scratch.

Lacking plans, he relied on historic pictures plus advice from Dick Smith of Kaslo Shipyards. � e Kootenay Star isn’t modelled on any speci� c boat, but incorporates features May liked in di� erent ones. It’s the only operating sternwheeler on Kootenay Lake he’s aware of.

� e name is in keeping with the Kootenay Star cafe and min-ing museum he and wife Teresa own — in turn named for the Slocan Star, one of the region’s chief mines.

� e boat was assembled on the beach and made a splash during last year’s jazz festival, where it was moored in Kaslo Bay. May has since made several modi� ca-tions.

“I have two paddlewheels side-by-side that work alternately,” he explains. “I had them too close to the transom so when you tried to

back up or manoeuvre, instead of going under the hull, water was going under the transom.”

Over the winter and spring, May moved the paddlewheel back, and added a couple of tanks for extra buoyancy. “Now it’s a lot better. I’m still doing tests so I’ve just been running around the Kaslo area. I want it to be totally safe before I get too far away.”

May still has some bilge bumps to hook up and he’s putting in an auxiliary motor in case of power problems, but he’ll soon be o� er-ing rides to anyone interested. He can be reached at 250-353-2115 or at [email protected].

Pool set to reopen early in AugustNelson and District Community Complex

After a six-month clo-sure, the Nelson and Dis-trict Community Complex will reopen its aquatic centre on August 6, just in time for scheduled swimming les-sons.

People used to the aquat-ic centre full of water with a dark ceiling above would see a different scene today.

A suspended ceiling made up of tiles across T-bar sup-ports is gone. It was part of that system that fell into the pool on January 28 during an aqua fit class. No one was injured but the faulty sup-ports prompted a fix at a

time when the Regional Dis-trict of Central Kootenay was assessing the aging facility.

Joe Chirico, the regional district’s general manager of community services, said he’s pleased with the way the ceiling looks after undergo-ing repairs.

“It’s all coming together nicely,” he told 103.5 The Bridge. “You will see the open trusses which are all painted bright white and you’ll be able to see right to the roof. We’re hoping this opens up the space and makes it more aesthetically pleasing — bigger and less boxy. We’re anticipating it will be much brighter than it was before.”

There is still plenty to do before the reopen date, how-ever.

“The pool is still full of scaffolding,” said Chirico.

Contractors are currently applying acoustic treatments to buffer sound, a task once handled by the drop ceil-ing tiles. The treatment is a spray that will barely be vis-ible from the deck level of the pool.

After the acoustic treat-ment is finished, new light-ing will be installed followed by removal of the scaffolding that’s become a fixture dur-ing this period of construc-tion. The massive structure should start coming down around July 20 and be com-

pleted about five days later, Chirico said.

Cleaning and filling the two main pool tanks will come next. The leisure pool and hot tub will be filled first as final ceiling work is com-pleted.

Chirico has a “high degree of confidence” the facility will open for scheduled les-sons.

“Like everyone in the community we are highly anticipating getting the pool back up and running again and looking forward to get-ting our kids in there,” he said.

An opening celebration will be held sometime after August 6.

Body recovered from Little Wilson Lake

The BC Coroners Service has confirmed that a body recovered from Little Wil-son Lake last week is that of Michael Lorne Guthrie of Trail.

The body was found around 3 p.m. on July 9 by three men camping at the lake 38 kilometres north of New Denver.

“That afternoon they saw a body floating in the water,” RCMP Sgt. Darryl Little told

103.5 The Bridge. While one man traveled into an area with cell coverage to call po-lice, the other two secured a rope to the body and pulled it to shore.

“Our members attended and removed the remains,” said Little.

That day, RCMP notified Guthrie’s family that remains were recovered from the lake where the 32-year-old went missing in May.

After turning the case over to the BC Coroners Service, which conducted an autopsy,

identification was confirmed Friday.

RCMP originally attended the lake on May 26 when Guthrie did not resurface after his canoe capsized. His two fishing companions were able to swim to shore but Gurthrie was not.

At that time, an extensive search occurred using divers with sonar equipment as the shoreline was monitored.

The search was slated to resume this weekend as the family privately hired a search company to return

to the lake. “In the meantime, this

body was recovered,” said Little.

RCMP said there was nothing suspicious in the death.

“There is no indication upon initial evaluation of the body that there was any foul play involved,” said Little.

Little Wilson is a high-altitude lake and described as approximately 63 acres in size with an average depth of 39 feet. However, there are spots over 80 feet in depth.

BC marijuana vote gets green lightDe-Criminalization

Tom FleTcherBlack Press

Elections BC has given approval in principle to marijuana activist Dana Larsen’s bid to lead a petition drive for de-criminalizing marijuana possession.

Larsen has proposed that BC go around the federal law with a “Sensible Policing Act” that would disallow the use of BC police resources to prosecute simple possession of small amounts of pot by adults.

This fall, Larsen will be allowed to begin col-lecting signatures in an effort to force an ini-tiative vote similar to that used to reverse the harmonized sales tax.

Individuals and groups have until August 12 to register with Elections BC to oppose the initiative, run ads for or against the petition or collect signatures.

Larsen, who was involved with the BC Mari-juana Party before seeking the leadership of the BC NDP in 2011, has worked for the last year to build support for what he calls Sensible BC. His organization will have 90 days from Sep-tember 9 to collect signatures from 10 per cent

of registered provincial voters in each of BC’s 85 electoral districts.

If that threshold is reached, Elections BC would hold a province-wide initiative vote, likely by mail as was done to repeal the HST.

Decriminalizing pot has received mainstream support in recent years, including a narrow ma-jority vote at the 2012 Union of BC Municipali-ties convention.

In a debate at that convention in Victoria last September, former BC Liberal attorney general Geoff Plant advocated for loosening marijuana laws, as has since been done in the US states of Washington and Colorado.

The idea was opposed by criminologist Darryl Plecas, who was elected BC Liberal MLA for Ab-botsford South in the May provincial election.

Larsen has had a colourful career, including editor of Vancouver-based Cannabis Culture magazine and co-founder of the Vancouver Seed Bank, which has sold seeds for marijuana, pop-pies, peyote and coca.

Larsen resigned as an NDP candidate in the 2008 federal election, after videos surfaced showing his drug use a decade earlier.

Johnsons Landing, one year laterTragic Landslide

On the one-year anniver-sary of the slide that dev-astated Johnsons Landing, residents are still living with uncertainty, many unable to return home.

� e slide that claimed four lives and destroyed numer-ous homes and properties continues to have an impact in the community on the east side of Kootenay Lake.

“A year later, we are still under emergency order concerning Johnsons Land-ing,” said Regional District of Central Kootenay chair John Kettle, expressing his continued sympathies on behalf of the regional gov-ernment Friday.

Added director Andy Shadrack, in whose area the tragedy occurred, “� is has been a di� cult year for those property owners, residents and the families a� ected by this devastating tragedy and we sympathize with their losses.”

In the interest of public safety, and in line with the � ndings of a geotechnical report released in May, an evacuation order remains in place for much of the slide area. Twelve households are at a high or very high risk of another slide.

Still, about a half dozen residents remain in the area, including Kate O’Keefe.

She says the geotechnical report, indicating how insta-ble the land still is — in some spots extremely unsound and dangerous — has people

anxious and uncertain.“It’s one of the worries of

living here,” she told 103.5 � e Bridge. “� ose of us who are here are continuing to live here and our lives are somewhat normalized. We’re not living under a threat of immediate danger although we are cautious.”

� is year’s heavy spring rains and their impact on Gar Creek — which became blocked prior to last year’s landslide — had people con-cerned.

� is year, Hamill Creek and Fry Creek ended up being more of a worry than Gar, which is running as it should during this time of year, O’Keefe said.

Johnsons Landing resi-dents are few and far be-tween. While some have trekked up to check out the creek’s condition and report to authorities, O’Keefe said they would like a system to alert them should something be amiss with the large block of debris le� behind a� er last year’s slide.

“� ere is no monitor-ing system set up,” she said. “For us, it would be lovely to have something up there

that would give us a signal if there was movement of that material, that big block that is up there. It may not move in our lifetime but it may and if it does come down, the worst case scenario would be huge.”

� ere is no government money for that kind of moni-toring and the cost would fall to residents via a surtax.

“We would have to bear the brunt of the cost. Well, there are only a half dozen of us here and we can’t a� ord that,” O’Keefe said.

For those wiped out, costs loom even larger. Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall took compensation concerns to the legislature � ursday. She’d like the pro-vincial government to work with the community on a buy-out plan.

“Some Johnsons Landing residents lost everything, but still have to pay taxes on property they may never be able to set foot on again,” she said.

Mungall directed her questions to Justice Minis-ter Suzanne Anton who said over $1 million had already been spent at that location including nearly $600,000 in direct bene� ts to residents. � e Liberals say no funds are available outside the Emer-gency Management BC pro-gram.

“While the minister says that Emergency Manage-ment BC is doing every-thing they can, Emergency Management BC now needs leadership from this govern-ment,” Mungall said. “Will

the minister do the right thing and work with the community on a buyout plan?”

Mungall pointed to Al-berta and Manitoba gov-ernments, who responded to residents’ needs after � ooding.

Still, the RDCK’s Kettle calls the coordinated e� ort a� er the slide “nothing short of spectacular.”

“Not everyone will be satis� ed with the outcome of this situation,” he said. “It may require a change in leg-islation to address situations like this in the future. � at being said, we continue to treat this horrible event with the respect and reverence it demands.”

Back on the mountain-side at Johnsons Landing, O’Keefe said “it gets easier over time.”

“� ere are big issues we are still dealing with,” she said. “But we know it’s time to get on with our lives, grow our gardens and do the other things we do.”

As more devastation by natural disasters occurred in the Kootenays and beyond this spring and summer, she knows public attention has been drawn away from her neighbourhood despite people still in need there.

“� ings like this don’t go away very quickly,” she said.

� e RDCK is in the pro-cess of examining the recom-mendations of the geotech-nical report released in May and will make implemen-tation plans in the coming months.

Summer means people ditching cars and getting two wheels out.Great for your health, and great for the

environment, cycling is definitely something to be encouraged, but don’t forget, a helmet is not optional.

Most people put a helmet on to go hit the trails, but many don’t think about it if they are just wheeling down to the grocery store or a friend’s place in town. But a helmet isn’t just for gnarly downhills. Pedaling around town means contending with traffic, and hitting the pavement can do a lot more damage than flying headfirst into bushes on Mountain Sta-tion.

Helmets now come in all shapes and sizes. If you, or your child, don’t like wearing one because it is uncomfortable, try a few different ones until you find one that sits comfortably.

Also, make sure it is worn properly. It needs to sit level on your head, with no more than one or two fingers’ width above the brow.

The straps should form a “V” under each ear with the buckle centered under the chin.

Lastly, when you open your mouth, the hel-met should pull down. Don’t let your helmet sit tilted back on your head. That frontal lobe needs protection too.

It should fit snugly. You should be able to shake your head back and forth without the helmet moving even before you strap it on.

Also, keep in mind it is recommended that your helmet be changed every three to five years because of general wear and tear, or when the interior foam has deteriorated.

Without this foam, the helmet can just smash into pieces if you hit the pavement.

Most companies put the manufacturing date on the inside of each helmet so you can be sure. If in doubt, take it to one of the bike shops downtown so they can check it out and make sure it’s still safe.

Encourage others to wear a helmet. Kids need to be shown that it is the normal thing to do and get in the habit of putting it on before they get on the bike; like a seatbelt as soon as they get in the car.

- Fernie Free Press

Get into the helmet habit

By the time the byelec-tion in Westside-Kelowna is certified by Elections BC, Clark will be off to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario to meet with her fellow premiers in what is now loftily called the Council of the Federation.

These gatherings used to be called First Min-isters’ Conferences, and there was a set ritual, largely designed for the consumption of network television. Provincial premiers ganged up on the prime minister to demand federal “funding” for every conceivable need, just as municipal leaders get to-gether each year to present their demands to the BC government.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper ended the show, declining to play the role of villain in this bit of political summer stock theatre, and it’s unlikely that any future national leader would reverse this prudent decision.

The result, at least among western premiers, has been a quieter, more pragmatic effort to work together, rather than clumsy attempts to play a shell game with taxpayers’ pockets.

The public got tired of this routine some time ago. I don’t need a poll to tell me this is one of the reasons for the decline in voter participation and engagement in issues. To-day, politicians frequently remind themselves out loud that there is “only one

taxpayer” supporting the squabbling layers of this over-governed country.

And yet, the same mistake keeps being made over and over by op-position politicians, and dutifully reported by the news media. The notion that all problems can and should be solved by “more government funding” is now so engrained in our education system that it seems inescapable.

One of the NDP’s big “gotcha” items last week was the failure of the BC government to buy the latest sonar technology to locate and recover the bodies of people who have drowned in one of our thousands of lakes and rivers. As with the health-care system, as soon as something is invented, some assume a right to it, regardless of cost.

Another big opposi-tion target was the prov-ince’s failure to buy up remote properties in the Kootenays that have been

discovered to be at high risk of further landslides such as the one that swept through a year ago.

The question of limits for protecting people who choose to build homes in risky locations seldom comes up in our political-media theatre. The media’s key ingredients are sym-pathetic victims to fit their narrative that all corpora-tions and governments are greedy, stingy, callous and incompetent in everything they do.

What the opposition has dubbed “Christy Clark’s wheelchair tax” is another case in point. A Fraser Health Authority official patiently explained what was really going on here.

An average $35 monthly rent for wheelchairs is charged at the majority of care facilities, which are contracted by the health authority. Operators charge as they see fit for maintenance, disinfection and replacement of this equipment, for patients

who don’t own their own chairs.

In September, a $25 fee is to be extended to the few facilities still directly run by Fraser Health, which have aging equip-ment and no fees. In all facilities, the fee is waived for those who can’t afford it.

It would be useful for our politicians to frankly discuss the trend towards contracted health services, and the role of user fees in forcing people to take more responsibility for maintaining their own health.

But that is not what happens. The narrative of dumping frail, impover-ished seniors from their wheelchairs has no rela-tionship to reality, but it’s how post-modern political theatre is done.

Re: Letter to the editor “A bad location for a grow-op (Nelson Star, Wednesday, July 10, 2013).

As neighbours, family members and owners of the North Shore Water Utility, and being mentioned speci� -cally in the paper, we felt that we could remain quiet no longer.

� ese properties have sup-ported our entrepreneurial family and community for more than 50 years with a multitude of commercial and industrial businesses, ranging from a gravel pit (20 jobs), to concrete plant (10 plus jobs) to the last business of landscaping (10 jobs). A potential medicinal mari-juana grow operation would provide 10 plus year around jobs. � e properties are over 35 acres, sloped, bordered at the top with crown land, not as one letter writer stated: “surrounded by homes.” In fact, the closest home to cur-rent buildings and proposed building site is over 100 feet away and over 50 vertical feet up the hill with forest be-tween, enough space for the old concrete plant in fact.

Security was another concern of mine, until I read the Marijuana for Medicial

Purposes Regulations. Even my own research shows that medicinal marijuana grow operations in America that are under strict government rules, (like the Marijuana for Medicial Purposes Regula-tions) actually reduce crime in those areas because of

the extensive security, not barbwire and electric fencing, but technology like motion sensor cameras and 24-hour monitoring. Unlike the old regulations, medical marijua-na under the new regulations will be grown indoors only, under strict rules to protect neighbours and patients alike. No smells are allowed to leave the building and new production licences can be revoked. Pre-licence inspec-tions for security, exhaust air quality, and electrical, among other things are mandatory.

When those concerned “chose to live in this neigh-bourhood” there was a busy

landscaping/nursery business running in the very spot she wants to deny a quiet mari-juana grow operation.

� ere is a 2013 petition with 92 per cent support from all the neighbours down either side of the access to the highway — these are the neighbours that would be im-pacted with major tra� c im-provements, unlike the letter writer who has had and will get zero tra� c and wouldn‘t even be able to see the build-ing from their home. � e North Shore couple would not even cut down a single tree making their existing building bigger.

� e couple have also given up most of the rights that AG4 zoning would give them including stables, kennels and farm animals to protect us from unlikely future own-ers, and have addressed every issue brought forward.

Marijuana has de� ned the “spirit of the Kootenays” for decades. Now that it’s � nally regulated properly, we need to embrace it and the jobs and tax revenue. We’ve read the new regulations. Are we governed by fear or facts? We’ll see on the 18th.

Friday’s Puzzle Solved

These properties have supported our

entrepreneurial family and community for

more than 50 years...

I regularly visit this area to visit my family in the Slocan Valley. Today I was waiting for my daughter in the car with my dog. It was too hot for me, and therefore too hot for my dog, so I took her out on a short leash. As it turned out, my daughter needed to wait for a photo to be devel-oped, so we decided to go window shopping.

My dog was completely under control and not both-ering anyone when a bylaw o� cer stopped and asked if I knew there was a bylaw against dogs downtown. I found that hard to believe. � ere are no such bylaws in any of the major cities I’ve been to or lived in. But appar-ently it’s the law in suppos-

edly laid-back Nelson.I asked the o� cer what

would happen if I le� my dog in the car and she died from

the heat. Would I be charged? He had no answer. Ironically, we had just passed a large bowl of water on the sidewalk which had obviously been put there by the business owner

for dogs to drink from.Since leaving my dog in the

Valley isn’t an option, I guess I will be leaving both her and myself in the Valley when the weather is hot (most of the summer) and spending my money there rather than in Nelson.

I understand now that there were real problems with the dogs when the bylaw was � rst passed, but it seems council took a sledgehammer to � x a problem that could have been � xed with a little tinkering.

Go a� er the people whose dogs are causing problems, not the ones who keep theirs under control.

NewsNelson Sailing

club assists police

� e Nelson Sailing Club came to the aid of a boat in distress on Kootenay Lake just past the Orange Bridge on � ursday.

Nelson Police deployed their boat in order to investigate a� er getting a distress call.

“Once out on the lake, it was determined that the initial boat in distress had been assisted by the Nelson Sailing Club,” said a release issued by the Nelson Police Department.

But in turn, the Nelson Sailing Club zodiac required assistance as it had developed motor issues.

NPD towed the NSC boat to the City wharf. Once at the wharf, it was determined that the NPD boat was in trouble due to debris caught in the jet intake.

� e members of the Nelson Sailing Club then assisted NPD members in unclogging the jet in-take so that NPD could resume marine patrols.

“We would like to thank the Nelson Sailing Club for rendering assistance to the initial boat in distress then being on hand to assist NPD,” said the release.

RIONDEL — � e Regional District of Cen-tral Kootenay has downgraded the boil water notice on the Riondel water system to a water quality advisory.

Recent testing shows the water quality is now fair due to seasonal high turbidity.

While health risks are now considered low, the regional district and Interior Health recom-mend that children, the elderly, people with weakened immune systems, and anyone seeking additional protection continue to drink boiled water or a safe alternative until further notice.

Last weekend, the Civic Theatre had a case of monsters. Monsters Uni-

versity, the Disney Pixar film, drew hoards of little monsters, bigger monsters, and their families.

I loved taking my own little monsters to summer films, a welcome respite during hot weather when the days were long and the sunscreen ran thin. The excitement as we settled into our seats in the dark theatre was palpable.

Local film-lover and vol-unteer P’nina Shames recalls taking her son to his first movie on such a summer day. He became so excited at the pros-pect of seeing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles he choked on his popcorn, nearly necessitating the Heimlich maneuver. Close calls aside, the volume of Civic

Theatre stories I’ve received since starting this column tells me this simple family activity is a maker of good childhood memories.

That’s what we had in mind when we responded to requests for a kid-centered movie, but showing Monsters University was a gamble. That’s because Disney’s strict distribution rules meant we could have Monsters, and Monsters only, all weekend long. No other film. Would there be enough little monsters to fill the seats?

Apparently, yes. But plenty of people did ask, “Why one movie all weekend long?”

Film studio distribution rules were never meant for indepen-dent single-screen theatres — one of many reasons our plan calls for three screens. Newer movies come with strict regs, and some distributors won’t

allow another film to be shown during the film’s run. In this case, it was to be a Monster-only weekend. Luckily, a lot of families thanked us by bringing their own.

To offer the best variety we can while we are operating with one screen, we’ll usually show movies a few weeks late (once the distribution rules have relaxed). That means be patient, Nelson! If you wait for it, it will come. And sometimes, we’ll just have to show one film, because coming up against film distributors can be like—well, like facing a hoard of teenaged mutant killer zombie ninja monsters.

We’re happy to report two films slated for this weekend. World War Z, starring Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, and Dani-ella Kertesz involves monsters (zombies, really) for adults. Alongside, look for the heist flick Now You See Me, with Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, and Woody Harrelson. If we can tame those distribution monsters, down the road we’ll get The Heat, a popular summer flick with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy.

Thursday Night Films are indie flicks for the folks who prefer their movies with a different kind of tooth. This coming week, catch Before Midnight, a critically acclaimed romantic drama directed by Richard Linklater and starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. Popular review site Rotten To-matoes gave this third install-ment of Linklater’s romantic saga, set in Greece and dealing with the complexities of love, five stars. The only monsters in this movie are the kind we cre-ate ourselves.

Our goal of three theatres will mean variety, with lots of films to choose from, perfor-mance, and more. If it feels at times like a monster of a project, it’s continually tamed by the goodwill, generosity, and hard work of our supporters and volunteers.

K E E P A N E Y E OU T F OR T H E SE L I T T L E HOM E W R E C K E R SHomeowners looking to prevent their homes from becoming a meal or nesting site for potentially harmful insects may know to keep watch for termites during the year. But termites aren’t the only insects that can damage a home. There are a few other pests that can bore through the wood of homes and structures, potentially causing considerable damage. People can familiarize themselves with these other wood-boring bugs and recognize the signs of infestation.* Carpenter ants: These insects get their name because they prefer to nest above ground in wooden structures. Unlike their smaller ant cousins, who make intricate colony systems underground, larger carpenter ants prefer tree stumps, lumber, subfloors, or even roofs. They don’t use the wood for food, and can establish residence in just about any solid housing material, including rigid foam insulation.* Powderpost beetles: Though termites might have the most name recognition, according to LivingWithBugs.com, powderpost beetles are potentially more destructive to seasoned wood. Wood boring powderpost beetles spend most of their lives as larvae (woodworms) in wood, where they tunnel in search of starch and other nutrients they need. They can cause all sorts of structural issues if they damage beams and other major components to homes.* Carpenter bees: These large bees resemble bumblebees, except they have a shiny black abdomen instead of a furry one. Carpenter bees bore symmetrical holes in exposed wood, where they lay eggs and in which larvae grow. Although the bees’ holes are superficial and rarely cause much damage, birds in search of larvae for food, such as woodpeckers, may peck at wood containing the larvae and cause more significant damage.

Water Conservation Measures

Did you know that lawns require only 3 cm of water, equal to about an hour of sprinkling, per week?

The City of Nelson would like to remind residents to conserve water and is asking residents to:

• Water every other day only. Premises with “even” numbered civic addresses may sprinkle on “even” numbered days (ie: 2nd, 4th, 6th etc) and premises with “odd” numbered civic addresses may sprinkle on “odd” numbered days (ie: 1st, 3rd, 5th etc).

• Water in the early morning, before 10:00 am, or early evening, after 6:00 pm.• Premises with underground sprinklers should have the system checked for leaks

and the timer set to only give the lawn about one hour worth of water each week• Ensure that water does not over-spray onto sidewalks, driveways or roads.

**City employees may speak with you or leave a note concerning water over use.

Water conservation tips and video’s are available to view on the City of Nelson’s website (under Public Notices) at www.nelson.ca. During the summer season, daily residential water use is 50% more than winter season consumption primarily because of lawn and garden watering, and car washing. Excessive water use during summer months draws down the reservoir level reducing storage capacity. Storage is required for � re� ghting purposes and for backup supply. The City of Nelson thanks “Water Smart” residents for their cooperation.

Mirja’s work can be seen at Craft

MIRJA VAHALAMirja’s family is a maker of things, so creating art as

a young child felt very natural to her. From the time she first saw a babysitter’s sketchbook and was inspired to draw, to her degree in graphic design and visual arts, artwork has marked the peaks and valleys of her life. After graduation, Mirja worked for a publication company before establishing, then selling after 15 years, her own design company. It was with joy, and some angst, that she began the journey of being a full-time fine artist and instructor.

Drawn to nature and the great outdoors, she and her husband made the trek from BC’s Lower Mainland to the Kootenays to establish the Mirja Vahala Art Studio and Windborne B&B in 2007. The visuals of wilderness, mountains and waterways, plus the coastal ocean and forests of her earlier life have a definite influence on the evolution of her artwork.

BARBARA BROWNBorn in northern Saskatchewan, Barbara has lived in

many places throughout Canada, from the West Coast to Ontario, the Prairies and the Cariboo. In 1988 she moved to the Slocan Valley where she has found home in the forest in the mountains.

Barbara went to school at the University of Victoria earning a BSc in Geography, and then at Malaspina College in Nanaimo getting a Diploma of Fine Arts in 1985. Since then she has been self-employed as a cartographer and commercial artist. For the last 20 years she produced the local tourist maps — the West Kootenay Vacation Guide Map, the Nelson & Area Map & Guide, and the Castlegar & Area Map – but sold that part of her business last year (to Manon of Design On The Go in Kaslo) to free herself up to pursue new creative endeavours.

She is now returning to her first love — painting and drawing — and is excited herself to see how her work will unfold.

Musicians prepare for glacier audienceRehearsals are now in full swing in both

Kaslo and Nelson as singers and musi-cians from across the region prepare for the performance of a lifetime. Later this month, 70 professional and amateur mu-sicians will play a command performance before an audience of one — a Glacier.

Requiem for a Glacier is a four-move-ment oratorio composed by Victoria-based artist Paul Walde, whose work ex-plores the interconnectedness between landscape, identity and technology. The performance has been conceived for the glacier alone; there will be no audience, other than those contributing to the pre-sentation.

Organizers of the event have launched an Indiegogo campaign to help fund this ambitious project. Donations made to the

campaign will offset the costs associated with staging the event. Later this month a public performance of the requiem in Nelson will also raise funds.

To bring such a large-scale work to fruition, Walde is collaborating with a team of roughly 100 people. In addition to the 40-person choir and the 30-person orchestra, there will be a conductor, a soloist, mountaineers, a film crew, writ-ers, journalists and photographers in at-tendance.

Walde and arts curator Kiara Lynch’s recent call for musicians and volunteers was met with overwhelming support by Kootenay residents.

“The community response has been enormous, and we hope the response to the Indiegogo campaign will be just as strong,” says Lynch.

“I strongly believe that the arts are one of the most powerful tools available to

us to respond to issues of concern to our society.”

Karen Behn, Stephanie Judy and Jeff Faragher have taken on the role of coor-dinating choir and musician rehearsals. Faragher, who is both a cellist and artistic director of the Symphony of the Koote-nays, expects the musicians will face some new challenges with this performance.

“I’ve played lots of gigs outside, but playing on a glacier is especially chal-lenging. The sound just goes – there’s no feedback. And while the environment is inspiring to an artist, it’s not like playing in a concert hall with engineered acous-tics. And of course there are the logistical challenges of getting such a large group of people and instruments up there.”

Just how will Faragher get his cello onto the glacier? “I’ve got a soft case which I’ll strap to my back. And then I’ll just hike it in,” he says.

“There’s a whole team in charge of safety, mountaineering and transporta-tion logistics,” adds Lynch. “We have two ACMG mountain guides overseeing the hike into and out of the glacier, and many strong hands to ferry the instruments, which include five cellos and a tympani drum.”

All of the musicians will gather in Nel-son for a three-day workshop during the last week of July under the direction of Ajtony Csaba, conductor of the Univer-sity of Victoria Symphony Orchestra and Central European Chamber orchestra. A public performance of the requiem will take place at the Nelson United Church on the evening of Thursday, July 25, at 6:30 and 8:30 pm which will also act as a fundraiser for the project.
