Selkirk College Contemporary Music & Technology Program students are getting ready to wrap up another school year, but not before leaving it’s mark on the town.
One part folk and one part blue-grass, mix in a little soul and tal-ented musicians and you have Sons and Daughters, the acoustic folk group under the direction of Laura Landsberg. Thea and the Fine Gentlemen is made up of one lady and three fine gentle-men. They are a quartet with a lounge vibe, reminiscent of Nat King Cole and Diana Krall.
So come on out to support the stu-dents and enjoy an evening of acoustic jazz and harmony infused folk music!

Shannon Lyon is a Canadian musician and singer-songwriter. Born in Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada, Lyon began his musical career in Kitchener, Ontario in the early 90’s forming his first band Strange Days.
“When I hear Shannon, I hear the rhythms of the Midnight Cowboy, the harmonies of an earth-bound angel, the acoustic guitar that knows the pain of a heart, the steel guitar that stirs the lonely and restless lovers. But most of all I hear the voice that echoes Earle, Farrar and Buckner, a voice that haunts you like a heavy fog on a bar-ren field on a cool October morning.” (Says Bob Egan -Blue Rodeo, Wilco)http://www.shannonlyonmusic.com

Firefighters: Training ChallengeThe RDCK is pleased to recog-
nize the hard work and success of 12 Robson/Raspberry volunteer firefight-ers who were recently presented with certificates for successfully complet-ing the NFPA 1001 Firefighter 1 cer-tification.
Only three years ago, the volun-teers had achieved RDCK Firefighter 1 certification. Training Officer Chris McBain then challenged his crew to aim for the next level of training. Two firefighters actually challenged the Level II certification and were suc-cessful.
“The RDCK is proud of these fire-fighters for their hard work, tireless volunteerism and great achievement. Their training is a great benefit to their community,” said Terry Swan, RDCK Regional Fire Chief.

RDCK Buys Fire Trucks & SavesThe RDCK will be adding four new
fire trucks to its fleet at a significant cost saving for taxpayers.
The fire halls at Ootischenia, Crescent Valley, Slocan and the North Shore will welcome their new rapid-response/crew transport vehicles in mid-April.
“The RDCK has a policy of main-taining a fleet of safe and effective appa-ratus,” said Terry Swan, Regional Fire Chief at the Regional District of Central Kootenay. “Standardized design and group purchasing enabled us to procure custom-built trucks for a total saving of $200,000,” he added.
Swan points out that Village of Slocan’s current vehicle is not “road-worthy,” while the apparatus in Crescent Valley and the North Shore are “vintage 1970s.” The Ootischenia vehicle will be an addition to its fleet.

Concession Campaign“To infinity and beyond!” is the
catchphrase of Buzz Lightyear, ani-mated hero of Disney’s Toy Story movie. “To $15,000 and beyond!” is the theme of the Nelson Civic Theatre’s Concession Upgrade Campaign.
Having raised over $330,000 so far, the $15,000 target represents the remaining 5% of funds required to release a $50,000 matching grant from the Southern Interior Development Initiative Trust.
A Toy Story-style rocket ship locat-ed in the lobby will track donations as the Nelson Civic Theatre shoots for $15,000—and beyond. Donations can be made online or by dropping in to the theatre ½ hour before showtime.

expressionsNightCaféSelkirk music, touring musicians, and a movie
By Nelson Becker
I’m very excited about this upcom-ing week, because of the diversity of events that are happening at
Expressions. On Thursday Apr.10, we are presenting premier performanc-es by Selkirk College Contemporary music. Sons and daughters will open the night and Thea and the Fine Gentlemen will follow. Sons and Daughters is led by Laura Landsberg, who is an amazing soul-transforming vocalist.
After a short break the evening will continue on with Thea and The Fine Gentlemen led by Paul Landsberg. Paul is an exciting jazz guitarist. When I listen to his music, I forget about time. It will be a great night of acoustic jazz and harmony infused folk music! If you come this night, not only will you have immense enjoyment but you will also support our music school and
students.Saturday, Apr. 12, Shannon Lyon
will grace our stage. Shannon is a singer-songwriter with deep roots in our Canadian culture. He has been performing for many years and has several CDs. His songs have a personal flavour, yet he sings about things we can all relate too.
On Sunday, Apr. 13, we’re being taken over by the Nelson Cohousing group. While their intent is to the pro-mote their Cohousing project, they will be presenting the movie “Happy” for the general public for two showings, 2 p.m. & 7 p.m. Entrance is free or by donation.
The following week we’ll be pre-senting Bill Bourne on Thursday, Apr. 17, whose immense Canadian travels have been one of the threads that holds our country together.

Nelson City Police news: Help Us Keep You SafeIn an effort to serve you better, the
Nelson Police Department is request-ing that residents post visible street numbers on your homes.
In emergency situations, every minute is critical, so take the time to make sure your house numbers are vis-ible from the street to help emergency responders help you faster
Ensure the numbers are bold and large enough to see clearly from the
street. Numbers should be contrasting color to the background. Place num-bers beside or above the main entrance, so first responders can detect them. If the entrance is more than 15 meters from the street, or is not visible from the street, a second set of numbers should be on a mailbox or on a post at the street or end of the drive. Reflective numbers or a light above the numbers are best practice.
Clearly mark separate suites in a multi-residential home or building.
If your house is on fire, smoke and flames will indicate your loca-tion, but if you are the subject of different types of 911 emergencies and your home is not clearly marked, first responders lose time searching for your address.

Opinion&editorial
The opinions presented on this page are the opinions of the author and do not represent the opinions of the publisher or staff of the Express News Update
Something I’ve noticed over the years is as
soon as someone voices their opinion, in many cases, they get shutdown. Why is that? Are people incapable of accepting other viewpoints or do they occasionally react in a less then desirable manner? I just think people need to focus more on the discus-sion then the feelings that can be associated with a differing opinion.
We all have differing opinions on a myriad of subjects. Why should we all have the same opinion? I think it’s because many people can’t understand
different viewpoints and find themselves to be infal-lible to any wrongdoing. I understand having a belief proven wrong and being upset, but by lashing out, you are being emotional rather then rational. So, what can you do? Instead of giving into your emotions, have a civilized discussion regarding each other’s opinion on the sub-ject manner. Find a com-mon ground and listen before jumping to conclu-sions. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, even if it seems like complete nonsense. Give it a lis-ten. You might be proven wrong.

Bill 4, the Park Amendment ActDear Editor,
I am writing to you about the passing of Bill 4, the Park Amendment Act.
The indigenous people of this land remind us over and over again that all land is sacred, and most espe-cially this would seem to apply to land that has been set aside for the specific purposes of rest and rec-reation. Parks are places where we go to experience how precious and beautiful is the land that we live on.
Allowing industrial
development into provin-cial parklands goes directly against the spirit and pur-pose of parks. Parks are a public trust, and tak-ing this step without public consultation is absolutely shocking. The possibility that there could be drill-ing, pipelines and other industrial activity in public parklands stuns me. What justification can be given for such legislation, other than putting profits above the public trust?

By Nelson Becker
When is a Walkway not a WalkwayNelson’s waterfront
walkway is a mess and inaccessible for many people. The city of Nelson
and its people have committed to having a waterfront walkway from one side of the city to the other, but we have neglected to standardize what the walkway is.
The walkway is part of our community property should be defined and should include definitions of width,
lighting, and surface. The width should be wide enough
for bicycles and pedestrians without them coming into conflict with each other, and the lighting should be done in such a way as to not pollute the sky for a starry night time vision.
At the airport it is a dirt path, and in front of the mall and it is hard to find where the walkway is, however the path is very beautiful along the soccer fields.
There could be sections such as front of the airport where half could be dirt and the other half paved. It’s not sufficient to say we want a walkway as a dirt path that is difficult for mobility challenged people, as well as wheeled transportation such as bicycles, wheelchairs, and skates.
Ideally, the whole length of the walkway should be paved; the walkway was meant for all and we should make sure we live up to that promise.
Do you agree? Nelson’s waterfront walkway should be paved.

Opinion&Survey
Last week’s survey response:Would you like to see cats banned on Baker Street?
YES 19.05% NO 80.95%What about other animals/comments:
NO!!! People have stopped visiting because of the dog ban.
Cat purring is extremely dangerous to the human ear.
If there’s a way to keep the street clean, tidy, and safe, I don’t think a total ban is neces-sary.
yeS YES ban the illusive Taggers and Graffitis They are way way worse in not cleaning up after themselves...and they do it on purpose...cats at least can’t help their biological functions!
I don’t like the laws banning animals.
BrINg back dogs.
SmOkerS and snotty chil-dren
SOme two legged ones maybe.
yeS! all four-legged animals should be banned. I can think of some 2-legged ones also - however...
SquIrrelS and pigeons need to be banned first.
I came here with my dog, and was camping at the city campground. I could not leave her there alone and I could not bring here with me to town. I did not know this when plan-ning my trip. I had to leave as I was planning to shop and eat at
restaurants.I never see cats causing any
trouble! It’s lovely to see them napping in windows or sunshine... Also, black cats have a bad rap. The SPCA tells me that black kittens are always the last to be adopted. No cat discrimination!
BaNNINg cats is nuts I love cats. They bring a smile to my face. They do not attack people. People who are afraid of cat, could spend their energy and money getting therapy.
BeSt idea from council in years. Making Nelson a totally cat free zone would even be bet-ter. Cats are an ivasive species
from the Middle East that has decimated the song bird popula-tion in North America. Anyone who considers themselves an environmentalist that has a cat is a hypocrite.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a cat on Baker street and have lived in Nelson for 36 years. It’s not the animals that should be banned, it’s the owners who don’t pick up after their animals that should be banned.
I totally believe that cats should be banned forever!
I am a cat lover and if cats get banned from Baker street then I will sue the city.

SurveyLast week’s survey response:
Comments:
In the last three months, have you used our swimming pool?
I like the Castlegar pool much better and use it more often.
tHe chlorine makes my son sick, so he refuses to swim there anymore. We thoroughly enjoyed the Revelstoke pool, which is purified with saline instead. I actually felt energized by the water there. I wish we had the same kind of water purification system here. Otherwise, our pool is very nice and well-equipped.
we need to correct all that needs correcting and then swim swim swim.
tHe lowest bid isn’t always the best!!! Lets fix it (nothing fancy); just fix it, and maintain it properly.
tHey have refused to accommodate work-ing women with a workout schedule they can actually utilize. Most of the time the pool is empty. Hot tub rules not enforced. Babies with diapers in the hot tub. Over
staffed, under utilized, poor-ly managed.
It’S a place we go to each week as a family, and we all love it. Introducing our son to water & the love of swim-ming was very important to us, and it’s a great facility we’re grateful to have.
I swim laps for half an hour every second day.
we went to the pool once. Nice facilities but way too much chlorine.
tHe pool is part of what makes Nelson a great city to my family. With the short outdoor swim season around here, it’s great for the kids, and essential for growing up and being a good swimmer. I use it for laps 1/wk. Living within our means means look-ing at the importance the pool plays in health of its users and the effect that has on lowering health care costs.
I use the fitness centre regularly and this is all part
of the mix. Originally, the referendum never claimed to upgrade the “whole place” but would concentrate on a new arena with some upgrades to the rest as the budget would allow. That was what?, ten years ago now... and here we are still with that list on our hands which needs to be dealt with. Buildings grow old and require constant invest-ments; its the cost of our civilization.
NO, I haven’t, but have been in the facility and notice that the pool appears to be well used by a variety of age groups.
my eyes burn from so much chlorine!
I swim every week as often as I can. The pool is the only place I can safely exercise. After six major surgeries it is liter-ally a life-saver, not a lux-ury. Even when I lived out of town I came in for the
exercise programs. For me, and very many others, the gym is not an alternative. And, the pool is often full of many kids of all ages playing together.
NICely uncrowded mid day mid week clean.
tHere is too much chlo-rine, if you are replacing the water system lets get the latest technology, let’s make it right for the next genera-tion!
I would use the pool a LOT more if there were less chlorine in the water. I really hope that if upgrades are done, a water-purifying system involving much less chlorine is TOP priority.
I never use it. It contains chlorine!!
I use the pool for exercise 3-5 times per week. Also the hot tub and dry sauna for health reasons. The pool is an absolute necessity to my health and well-being!
