Nelson Hospice offers grief support groupThursday, Jan. 24, 12-2 p.m. Multipurpose Room, 333 Victoria St., Second Floor, Nelson, BC

Hosted by trained Nelson Hospice volunteers, Grief Support Group topics will include: the needs of a mourner; why grieving is different for everyone; common myths about the grieving process; resources and tools for finding hope and healing our hearts. There will be time for group discussion and sharing, as

well as a exploration using art therapy, journaling, walking and meditation. Preregistration is required for this group.

After the death of some-one dear, people often expe-rience a period of time of intense grieving. As a soci-ety, we associate sadness as a common response to death, but there are many

other emotions. People might also experience feel-ings of loss (what do I do without that person?), help-lessness (where do I turn?), confusion (why did this happen?), anger (unfinished relations), uncertainty (new roles and expectations), anxiety (am I going crazy?), and/or happiness (loved one is now at rest after a pro-

longed illness). The Grief Support Group offers a safe and supported environment to share these normal feel-ings of loss.

Jen Hajj has a voice you will not forget and you can hear it at Expressions on Wednesday, Jan. 23.

Hajj is a classically trained musician who decid-ed to expand her horizons, learning bluegrass and folk style at festivals, camps and jam sessions. Prior to going pro, she earned her bread and butter as biolo-gist. Birds and nature creep into her music on a regular basis. In fact, her award winning song, “Raptor Bird” is about the ecology

of birds of prey.In her song Grand

Canyon Perspective she describes the view “Beauty before me, beauty behind, a big abyss around me and an infinite blue sky” but also her sense of connection “I’m small, but it don’t mat-ter. Aren’t we all?”

The intimate 50-seat setting at Expressions will allow audiences to really connect with Hajj and her uplifting music.

In his review of her cd I of the Storm, David Kidman of Folk and Roots describes

her songs as “exploring her own qualities as a human being in optimistic and uplifting language that’s as often inspirational as it is whimsical.” He goes on to compare Hajj’s voice first to “the folksy charm of early Judy Collins” and later to “the incantatory delivery of Buffy Sainte-Marie.”

Showtime is at 7:30 p.m. with doors opening at 7 p.m. Tickets are available in advance at the Express office. Remaining tickets will be sold at the door. All ages are welcome.

School District 8 (Kootenay Lake) will be offering a Late French Immersion Program for up to sixty students entering grade 6 in the 2013-2014 school year. The Program is located at Trafalgar Middle School for grades 6-8, and continues for grades 9-12 at L.V. Rogers Secondary School. The Late French Immersion Program is intended for children

whose first language is not French. Parents, guardians and students who may be interested in pursuing a French Immersion educa-tional program are invited to an information session about the program and the application process.

Because the Late French Immersion Program is limited to sixty students, a process of application for the program is neces-

sary. Details regarding the application process for the Late French Immersion Program will be available on the School District #8 website (www.sd8.bc.ca) after February 1 for those unable to attend this infor-mation session.

No applications for the Program will be accepted prior to 9 a.m., Feb. 15, 2013. This will allow fami-lies to decide whether the

program suits the needs of their child. It will also allow all applicants to be familiar with the application pro-cess – either through atten-dance at the Information Session, or through read-ing the information on the website. All inquiries must be directed by email to: Willow Makortoff, [email protected]

Comforting massage for slide victimsby Robin Murray

On Dec. 22, 2012 a group of eight massage vol-unteers, ranging in age from 14 to 81, visited Johnsons Landing to share comfort-ing massages with the sur-vivors of the July mudslide. The mudslide claimed the lives of several members of this tiny community at the end of Kootenay Lake and left many more homeless or without safe drinking water and sanitation.

To bring some Christmas cheer to this still suffering community, the massage team delivered a gift bag for each participant receiv-ing massages in the vil-lage containing gifts from local Nelson merchants and homemade cookies. Jim Mainland, a piper from Meadow Creek played Amazing Grace on the deck

announcing the beginning of the massage memorial

“It was a time not only for the residents of Johnson’s Landing to enjoy life and get relaxed, but a time for the people giv-ing the massage to come together and have a good time. I definitely think that people of all groups and ages should participate in a massage memorial. I had a wonderful time and hope to help out others in need,” said 14 year-old volunteer Emily Hoffman.

The event began a col-laboration between Lila Taylor, a Johnson’s Landing resident and her mas-sage instructor Christine Sutherland. Janet Mayfield did the organizing the assembling of gift bags and Susie Grimble co-ordinated the massages. The volun-

(R-L) volunteers Lila Taylor, Christine Sutherland, Cameron Dunsmore, Dave Scanlan, Kazia Drake, Emily Hoffman, Joni Bund (Colleen Driscoll RN missing) lining up to warm up for the Johnson’s Landing Memorial Massage Marathon

Those who wish help out financially can donate direct-ly toward restoring the water system destroyed by the

landslide by making a depos-it to the Gar Creek Water Users Association account at Kootenay Savings Credit

Union in Kaslo. Also, dona-tions going toward the fami-lies who lost their homes and belongings can be deposited

into The Johnson’s Landing Community Association account at the same credit union.

To donate to the people of Johnson’s Landing

teers who gave massages were Joni Bund, Emily Hoffman, Dave Scanlan, Kazia Drake, Cameron Dunsmore, Colleen Driscoll, and Lila Taylor.

While the massages and gift bags were a won-derful way for the broader

Kootenay community to help the folks at Johnson’s Landing on an emotion-al level, the community remains without safe drink-ing water and many are still suffering financially from their losses in the mud-slide.

WK Naturalist Presentation: Galapagos IslandsMonday, Jan. 28, 8 p.m. Selkirk College, Castlegar, 301 Frank Beinder Way

The West Kootenay Naturalists Society presents a photo tour of the Galapagos Islands by globe-trotting bird-ers Hazel and Ed Beynon. Retired professionals, the Beynon’s spend much of their time indulging their lifelong passion of learning about and exploring nature. Whether in Canada or abroad; by canoe, snowshoe, ski or on foot, this energetic couple will be out side listening for the Golden -crowned Kinglet or trying to catch sight of the Lazuli Bunting.

Their presentation will let us peek into the lives of the birds and other animals who inhabit one of the natu-

ral worlds’ greatest treasures. Because of their remote-ness, the islands’ wildlife is virtually tame. Visitors, when not on the beach, are confined to a metre wide walkway. In spite of that, the Beynon’s were able to take many amazing photos of the remarkable wildlife in this rarest of natural habitats.

The talk is free and all are welcome. There will be snacks and tea. Please bring your own cup.

For more information, contact more info: 250-362-7424.

Forestry conversation heats up at Conversation CaféSaturday, Jan. 19, 7 p.m at John Ward Fine Coffee at 503 Baker St.

For some Kootenay res-idents, forestry represents an important boost to our region’s economy. For oth-ers, forestry brings to mind habitat loss and watershed contamination. Is it possible to have healthy forests and a sustainable forestry indus-try?

That’s the question on the table at West Kootenay EcoSociety’s event. The

second Conversation Café in a series of seven will ask local forestry and envi-ronmental experts to weigh in on how forestry prac-tices have changed over the years, and to look at some new models of forestry.

Guests include Greg Utzig, who has developed a model for how climate change will affect our for-ests, and Rachel Holt, a

member of the BC Forest Practices Board. Joern Wingender will explain the Harrop-Procter Community forest model, and Jesper Neilsen of Selkirk College will help us understand how the forestry system works. Herb Hammond of the Silva Forest Foundation will also discuss his groundbreak-ing work on the services that healthy forests provide.

After brief discussions with the guests, the audience will be invited to join the con-versation.

The conversation starts at 7, p.m. with limited seat-ing. Coffee and snacks will be available for sale, and a $2 donation is requested. For more information, visit www.ecosociety.ca.

SportsNewsOn Saturday Jan. 12,

and Sunday, Jan. 13 The Whitewater Ski Team hosted the largest Ski Race that’s been at Whitewater in the last 10 years. There were 121 rac-ers, over 100 volunteers, 20 coaches, and another 100 parents who all came together to make this happen and brave the freezing cold.

Athletes came as far away

as Calgary, and ranged in age from 9-69. There were 62 rac-ers from Fernie Alpine Ski Team, over 20 racers from Red Mountain, racers from Kimberly, Salmo, Summit and of course a huge group of over 20 very enthusias-tic racers from Nelson’s own Whitewater Ski Team.

Dylan Henderson, Head Ski Coach for the Whitewater

Ski Team was very pleased with how well the race was organized, and how his up and coming racers performed: “ This shows that Whitewater is a serious ski racing venue that athletes want to come to- they love Nelson and skiing at Whitewater. This weekend also shows that we have a very competitive ski racing pro-gram that is producing some

very talented ski racers.”Next on the racing cir-

cuit is a Nancy Greene Ski League Race this Sunday at Red Mountain, for ages 5-12. Youth interested in becoming part of the ski team should visit www.whitewaterskiteam.ca, or contact Tracy Punchard 250-505-5090.

City hosting open house for proposed skate park Thursday, January 24, from 7-9 p.m. at Rosemont Elementary School, 1605 Crease Avenue

After more than a decade of diligence on behalf of volunteers, the public and the City of Nelson, Mayor John Dooley and Council

have chosen a preferred site for the City’s long-awaited outdoor skate park.

Residents are being asked to come and learn

Conceptual drawing of the combined Skate/Bike Park

more about the innovative new recreational ameni-ty and visitor destination, which will be located at Art Gibbon Memorial Park, in Rosemont.

The Kootenay Lake Outdoor Skate Park Society (KLOSPS) and the City of Nelson are hosting the open house to present the plan for the Nelson Skate Park in Rosemont, and the creation of what’s being called an “All Wheel Park.”

To cover the cost of the estimated $600,000 proj-ect, KLOSPS and the city have secured a $400,000 Community Recreation

Grant from the Province of BC, along with $61,000 from the Columbia Basin Trust, $10,000 of which was allocated by City Council from the CBT’s Community Initiatives Program Fund for City of Nelson projects.

However, the provincial grant will expire if construc-tion of the park isn’t com-pleted by March of 2014.

The City says construc-tion could begin this spring, which would ensure the new venue would be entire-ly ready for use and open to the public this summer.

On Friday Jan. 11 at 3:50 a.m. Nelson Police members were conducting post bar closing patrols in the downtown core. A male and a female were seen loitering near a run-ning vehicle that was parked outside one of the bars. Members approached and spoke with both and determined they had been consuming liquor that eve-ning and were likely not capable of safely operat-ing motor vehicle.

It was also discovered

that the car was registered to the 34 year old male and the members let them know it would be a good choice to not drive the car home. The male agreed. Members continued their patrols and a short time later the vehicle was gone. A quick drive to the own-ers address found him try-ing to park it as members pulled up. He blew a fail on the roadside screening device and faces sanctions under the Motor vehicle Act.

The penalties for this offence include:

1. You will immedi-ately lose your driver’s licence for 90 days and your vehicle for 30 days.

2. You will pay all related towing and storage fees.

3. You will pay a $500 monetary penalty and a $250 driver’s licence rein-statement fee.

To regain your driving privileges, you will have to complete the Responsible Driving Program and use an

Ignition Interlock Device whenever you drive, for one full year, following your driving suspension.

In all, you will face administrative conse-quences that will cost you about $4,060 before you can legally operate a motor vehicle again in B.C. A cab would have cost less that $20 to any destination in the city of Nelson.

dr. scienceChristine Humphries

Tickle tickle tickle, I’m going to get you!

Are you ticklish? To most people, the sensa-tion of being tickled is both positive and nega-tive; they smile and laugh but also show signs of distress such as defensive and withdrawal move-ments. For example, my two-year old giggles and smiles when tickled but also yells “no!” and tries to wiggle away. Is she enjoying it or not?

There are two types of

tickling, the light feather-like tickling, called knis-mesis and the heavy laugh-inducing tickling called gargalesis. Knismesis is a widespread response in mammals and probably originated as an important survival response for react-ing to creepy crawly bugs on skin. Gargalesis how-ever is less widespread a response and seems to be limited to primates.

Although we can feel knismesis if we lightly touch our own skin, we cannot give ourselves a heavy tickle. Some sci-entist believe that, like

the startle response, gar-galesis is a simple reflex that requires unanticipated stimulation. One study showed that if the brain is sending a self-tickle command, there is less activation of brain signals than when someone else is tickling. In essence, the brain can somehow cancel the tickling sensation if it has prior knowledge of the action.

So why do we laugh when tickled by oth-ers? The neural path-ways involved in tickling include touch and pain sensors which may acti-

vate the part of the brain that elicits the fight or flee response. However it is unclear why this response also involves laughing and smiling. Some scientists have suggested that the evolutionary function of tickling may have been to promote play-fighting to improve combat skills. The laughter and smil-ing would encourage the tickler to continue tickling while the discomfort of tickling would encourage the ticklee to learn how to protect vulnerable parts of his body.

Amnesty International annual Film FestFriday, Feb. 1, 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Feb 2, 1:30 and 7:30 p.m. showings, at the Shambhala Centre at Selkirk College

Amnesty International in Nelson is hosting their annual film festi-val. According to local activist Anna Purcell, “These films are really inter-esting and inspiring without being too disheartening. For example, the film Umoja: No Men Allowed follows a group of Kenyan women who turn patriarchy on its head by starting their own village - with no men allowed. You will laugh and cheer with these women, even with the serious social critique.”

Audiences can watch Umoja at the Friday night showing along with

the film On The Line, which follows two men on a fact finding mission as they bike, hike, kayak and raft the beautiful route of the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline. On the Saturday afternoon will be Big Boys go Bananas, a film that looks at the incredible lengths to which big corpo-rations will go to protect their brand.

Saturday night’s film is Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry about an internationally famous artist of the digital age who has been called China’s Andy Warhol. He blurs the line between art and poli-tics in his highly entertaining fight for

free speech. Also showing Saturday night is Grace, about a little girl’s struggle to get to school.

Tickets are available at Otter Books in Nelson at the price of $10 per showing or all three shows for $25. There is another chance to see Umoja and Ai Weiwei at the Mir Centre in Castlegar, Thursday, Jan. 30 7 p.m. for $10 at the door.

Arts&Entertainment12 Angry Men to raise money for animal assistance programFriday, Jan. 25, 8 p.m. at the Church Hall (corner of Kootenay and Victoria)

The first round of Nelson Play Readings is drawing to a close with the final scheduled reading being presented January 25th. 12 Angry Men by Reginald Rose promises to end the series on a strong note, as the popular script has been re-produced all over the world as well as adapted into several feature films.

The reading is directed by Bessie Wapp and will feature a veritable who’s-who of local readers; Phil Sarsons, Richard Rowberry, Michael Graham, Brian d’Eon, Stephen Fowler, Michael Pearce, Ray Stothers, Bradley Roulston, Roger Ley, Mackenzie Hope, Geoff Burns, and Timothy Jackson will all be participating.

12 Angry Men famous-ly tells the story of twelve jurors deliberating over the outcome of a trial. While eleven of the jurors are con-vinced that the defendant is guilty, one juror is not in agreement. The play centers around this juror’s attempts to sway the deeply held prejudices and intractable personalities of his fellow jurors. Raising questions of the nature of justice and the reliability of human judge-ment, 12 Angry Men is a timeless classic that contin-ues to resonate today.

“The series has been so successful that we have definite plans to carry it on”, says Richard Rowberry of The Nelson Theatre Company. “We’ve raised several hundred dollars

Some of the readers for the Nelson Play Reading of 12 Angry Men

for charity, and have been happy to host some great evenings of theatre. We will be scheduling more read-ings in the near future- but 12 Angry Men will be the last one in this particular cycle.”

Tickets are $12, and

are available at the door only. Proceeds will ben-efit the Kootenay Animal Assistance Program. Seats are limited, and guests are encouraged to arrive early.

An actor-driven vehicle where “the play is the thing”, NYTʼs past success-es include: “Juliet & Romeo”, “The Nuppet Show”, “The Princess Bride”, “Monster Mash”, “The Tempest”, “The Portal: Beyond the Wall”, “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!”, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”, “Zombie Apocalypse” and “A Midsummer Nightʼs Dream”!

NYT director Jeff Forst has helmed several dozen plays in addition to being a producer, writer, and actor.

He has a degree in English Literature from the University of Victoria, with professional acting training from the Gastown Actors Studio. More impor-tantly, every cast member receives a souvenir show T-shirt.

Interested youth can contact [email protected] for more info about NYT and/or how to audition up for “Alice in Wonderland”

The True Cause of Violence

by Spencer PollardMy Opinion

There real-ly is no main central cause

of violence today. If any-thing it’s really the glori-fication of it in the media. The media finds it far more interesting to report violent crimes then human interest stories and it’s never some-thing I understood.

The world isn’t really as scary a place as the media may make you believe, it seems almost every day the news shows mostly nothing but vio-lent crimes and shootings. Why do they do this? Well to keep an audience of course, there’s an audience who enjoys watching those

type of stories whether they enjoy them or they just feel sorry for those involved.

Violence has always been a problem and it’s up to us to fix it, there really isn’t a simple answer just avoid violent tendencies whenever you can. I highly doubt any-one reading this will com-mit some sort of crime of that nature, but the way the world is , violence stems from anything. Violence is a substantial part of human history and it won’t change any time soon but having the foresight to know what your doing could prevent something serious.

Unfortunately, the aver-age life expectancy and predicted complete failure of cedar shakes is difficult to determine even with a visual inspection for signs of deterioration. However, here are a few theoretical factors to be considered when estimating the life expectancy of your cedar shake roof. Cedar is rich in oil content. This oil gives

We recently purchased a 30-year-old house with a cedar shake roof. We are trying to determine if we should budget to replace the roofing or not because we’ve heard a lot of conflicting estimates on the life expectancy of cedar shakes. What would you advise? Home Front by Bill Lynch,

Paul Muntak & Steve Cannon cedar its reputation for lon-gevity in wet environments. Old growth cedar usually has higher concentrations of oil than second and third growth cedar. Therefore, shakes split from old growth wood often have significantly longer life expectancy than shakes from new growth wood.

Traditionally, folks expected that old growth cedar shakes would protect them from the elements for 50 to 70 years. This oil-rich

attribute, combined with their rustic weathered appearance has long been their appeal to many builders and home owners. For second growth cedar shakes, their life expectancy can be less than half that of the original old growth materials.

Determining if you have old or new growth cedar shakes can be tricky. A gen-eral rule of thumb is there is not much old growth cedar to be purchased today. So, it is

likely that newer cedar shake roofs have less life expec-tancy. However, there may be old growth cedar shakes mixed into the bundles that were installed on your roof. So, it is fair to say that indi-vidual cedar shakes on your roof will likely age and fail at significantly different rates depending on the oil content of each unique shake. If your roof is more than 15 years old, expect occasional spot repairs to keep it watertight.

Nelson Overture Concerts Society presents: Allison Girvan, “Any Place I Hang My Hat Is Home”January 26, 2013, 8 p.m. at the Capitol Theatre

In this program, Allison seeks to explore this increasingly ambigu-ous boundary performing songs by these composers and more.

The borders between classical song and Broadway tune began to blur with composers like Kurt Weill and George Gershwin. The line between genres becomes even more indis-tinguishable recently with contemporary composers Adam Guettel (grandson of Richard Rodgers) and Ricky Ian Gordon (called “one of the leading young-er composers of songs” by The New York Times).

Joining her on stage

will be pianist Christoph Martens, upright bassist Mark Spielman and violin-ist Don Macdonald.
