ArtWalk 2012 in full effect last year on Baker Street.DaviD R. Gluns
Nelson celebrates 25 Years of ArtWalk
It’s been 25 years since the Nelson & District Arts Council first presented ArtWalk, and it’s time to celebrate! Join us on the downtown streets this Friday, July 5th from 6-9 pm for live music, performance artists, sand sculptors, chalk artist, face painting, Participainting, and more.
The evening will kick off with the Kootenay Kiltie pipe band, which will begin playing in the 400 block of Baker Street and then lead the participants in a lively march around the ArtWalk route. Keep an eye out for twenty poems by local writers that will be featured in locations along the route, part of ArtWalk’s “Poetry Lives Here” project.
This year’s ArtWalk features 36 artists, showing their work in sixteen venues from Baker Street down to Front Street. There will be a second opening on August 2nd where the art will switch to feature new artists and artwork, and of course give us a rea-son to have another party!
Nelson’s ArtWalk’s long history is proof of its success. It offers area artists the opportunity to have their work viewed by more than a thousand art-lovers; gives downtown businesses a doorway into creative culture; and is a veritable feast for the ArtWalking public.
Brochures and maps are avail-able at the Chamber of Commerce, Touchstones, the participating venues or online at http://www.ndac.ca

CommunityNewsCommunity rallies to save Kootenay Lake camp
The Board of Directors of the Camp Koolaree Society, who operate a camp for children on property owned by the united Church of Canada on the shores of Kootenay Lake, have been overwhelmed by responses to their request for help.
“In just over three months we’ve moved from in debt and despair to well funded and confident of our ability to offer a camping experience to any child or family that wants to have one,” says board Treasurer Deanne Steven.
The turnaround is due to the direct financial sup-port of hundreds of people from throughout the West Kootenay and Boundary areas. Funds began pouring in when word of the camp’s plight went out in mid march, and haven’t shown signs of letting up since.
“The single largest donation arrived in the mail last week,” says board Chair Peter Herd, “the donor, who wishes to remain anony-mous, went to Koolaree as a child and wanted to make sure that families could con-tinue sending their children. We were absolutely aston-ished to receive the ten thou-sand dollar cheque that was sent along to make it so.”
With other pledges from community and church groups vowing to make sure that kids are able to run, play, swim, canoe, hike, craft, learn about creation and experi-ence the unique attributes of Camp Koolaree, the board is confident that financial hard-ship will not get in the way of any child who wants to spend a week at Koolaree. They are only worried about the numbers of campers who’ve signed up so far.
SuBmITTeD
Campers from age 6 to 0ver 90 volunteer to help get Camp Koolaree cleaned up and ready for the 2013 season after donations flooded in to save it from closure
“Bad news spreads fast-er than good,” says registrar misty Soukochoff, “we are ready to fund camps and to help cover the registration costs of those who need it, but we’re a little short of applicants.”
Camp directors John and Julianna marko (Teen Co-ed); robin murray (Junior girls); Peter Herd (Junior
Boys); Cynthia St. Thomas (Novice) and Julie Clarke (Family) are lining up staff and developing programs for their camps. All they need now are the kids.

More power to the people: City holds public sessionWednesday, July 10, 7 p.m., at the Hume Hotel’s Hume Room
As part of its hydro dis-tribution upgrade program, Nelson Hydro and the City of Nelson are holding an impor-tant information session next week.
The session will give downtown business owners, employees and residents a chance to hear more about plans to upgrade the overhead hydro distribution system in the back lanes on either side of Baker Street.
Crews are slated to begin work on the aging overhead system this month.
Nelson Hydro staff and representatives from the West Kootenay company hired to do the work will be on hand next Wednesday to explain why the project is necessary,
its benefits, and ways in which downtown business owners and residents should prepare for the project’s impacts.
Those impacts include occasionally scheduled power outages and revised vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
This project, the last of the four-phase Downtown Conversion program, will include the replacement of aging wooden hydro poles with new hydro poles in Baker Street’s back lanes, new overhead secondary lines, underground primary lines, new transformers and an increased voltage capacity of 25kV from 4 kV.
There will be consider-able benefit to the new sys-tem, including:
• Improved reliability, quality and capacity of the downtown electrical sys-tem for existing and future customers
• Fewer poles in the alley-ways, making for easier vehi-cle and pedestrian traffic flow, parking and delivery
• Improved lighting and aesthetics, with less visual clutter thanks to the reduction of poles and overhead trans-former banks
There will be a cultural and heritage aspect to the proj-ect as well. As local residents and visitors have noticed, new transformer islands already installed around town are adorned with the history of Nelson Hydro and the City’s numerous ‘ghost buildings’.
The Downtown Conversion project is another step in Nelson Hydro’s com-mitment to the City’s Long Term Hydro Transmission and Distribution upgrade Plan.
most of the utility’s transmission line upgrades have been completed and the voltage conversion proj-ects including Front Street, Downtown, uphill and rosemont are either com-pleted or slated for comple-tion, in the fall of this year.
The Downtown Conversion construction con-tract has been awarded to Castlegar’s martech electrical Systems.

RCMP News: bus passenger sought, cyclist struckOn June 27 at 6:37
p.m., a complaint was received of an incident that had occurred approximately 20 minutes from Castlegar near the Nancy greene Junction. A caller reported that there was a male that had been acting strangely inside of the greyhound bus that they were in and was possibly “high” on a sub-stance. He appeared to be pacing and going in and out of the washroom on the bus. When the driver approached the male, he was holding a screwdriver and hammer in his hands, and proceeded to jump out
of the window and was run-ning around on the road way. Castlegar and Trail rCmP members attended and made extensive patrols, but did not have success in locating the male. The male was last seen hitch-hiking. grand Forks rCmP were also notified and road blocks were set up in efforts of locating and identifying the male. Police conducted queries of the name listed on the bus ticket, however, police have not confirmed the identity of the male, as there is no requirement to show id when purchasing a ticket. Police are continuing
their efforts in identifying this male. A back pack and walking stick were left behind on the bus by the male and seized by police, in hopes he would come by the Castlegar Detachment to collect same. No one was injured and property damage inside the bus was minimal.
On July 3, at approxi-mately 8:15 a.m., Castlegar rCmP, Fire and eHS were dispatched to a motor vehicle collision involving a cyclist that had been struck by a van. The van was traveling northbound near the 1700 block of Columbia Avenue
when it struck a cyclist, also traveling northbound. The cyclist was observed to have traveled into the air, over the hood of the van, landing on some rocks near the sidewalk. It would appear that the van made a right turn into a driveway and struck the cyclist. A 34 year old Castlegar woman was treated at the hospi-tal for non-life threatening injuries. The matter is still under investigation and charges pending under the motor Vehicle Act against a 66 year old Trail woman.

Home reno-rebates
There are some great programs to take advantage of now. one such pro-gram is the Livesmart BC energy effi-ciency incentive. This program has been designed to reduce the carbon footprint of our homes. You need to contact a certified energy advisor in your area to schedule an evaluation for your home.
Items that will be evaluated are win-dows, doors, heating, cooling systems, insulation and air leakage.
The energy advisor will then deter-mine how you can best improve your overall energy efficiency and consump-tion. They may also provide an estimate of your current annual heating/cool-ing costs and what you may expect to save from completing each prescribed upgrade. There is an 18-month timeline to achieve your modifications. It is your choice to complete the upgrades that
make the most sense and fit within your budget.
When you have completed the upgrades that you want to achieve a follow up assessment from the energy advisor is required to verify your ener-gy savings and gHg (greenhouse gas) emission reductions. The advisor will then fill in the appropriate paperwork. Then all you have do is sit back and wait for your rebate cheque to come in.
For more information go to www.livesmartbc.ca.
I’m doing some renovations on our home. Do you know of any current rebate or grant programs?

Why can’t i do this party trick?
Before reading the rest of this article, try the follow-ing party trick: Start mak-ing clockwise circles with your right foot, then draw the number “6” in the air with your right hand. Does your right foot start circling in a counter-clockwise direction? This trick is a cool demon-stration of how our brains can only process so much information at the same time. I contacted Dr. mcKeown,
Associate Professor of medicine (Neurology) at the university of British Columbia to ask him why this occurs. He told me that researchers have used func-tional magnetic resonance imaging (fmrI) to look at which parts of the brain are activated during foot and hand movements. The fmrI showed that hand and foot movements activates two motor regions in the brain: the motorcortex (mC) and the supplementary motor area (SmA). The SmA is thought to participate in the earlier stages of planning
the motion while the motor cortex is largely responsible for telling the limb to move. Interestingly, the fmrI data showed that when the move-ment of the hand and foot was in opposite directions, the SmA became more acti-vated then when the hand and foot were moved in the same direction.
So why is it so difficult for the SmA to direct the opposite movement of the hand and foot? The brain considers moving the hand and the foot as two distinct actions but each action get instructions from the same
part of the brain. The brain’s wiring for hand movement is larger than the foot’s such that instructions to the hand will be more dominant. This is why your foot will start circling in the same direction as your hand. Now if you try to do this trick with your right foot and left hand, you will find that it is much easier. This is because the left mC moves the right side of the body and the right mC moves the left side of the body. Therefore, the SmA can now give differ-ent instructions to both mC to move limbs on each side of the body.

Scarlett Jane coming to ExpressionsFriday, July 19, 8 p.m. Expressions 554 Ward St, tickets $12
Scarlett Jane is one of the most exciting new collabo-rations in recent Canadian music — the marriage of the distinctive songs and beautifully haunting voic-es of Andrea ramolo and Cindy Doire. And now, Stranger, their debut record-ing, captures their strength and their vulnerability, and a progressive roots sound which embodies the raw and candid demeanor of Lucinda Williams, the moody sensuality of Stevie Nicks and Nick Cave, and the tender playfulness of Dolly Parton.
Both Andrea and Cindy are road warriors. Andrea has two previous releases behind her, while Cindy has three. They met sev-eral years ago at a tiny Toronto music venue; their
solo careers were starting to move forward, and they shared a passion for prose, poetry, and theatrics and songs in minor keys. They liked blues and country, old school soul and rock’n’roll. Inevitably, the need to write together and sing togeth-er became more and more important.
making their first major recording was the next logi-cal step, and now Stranger is a reality. The CD is a collection of ten alluring stories about longing and loneliness, about love, loss, and desire.
Scarlett Jane: powerful and irrefutable, musically and dynamically. From the studio to the stage, this intriguing female duo is geared for great things.

I don’t know what to do about the loud m o t o r -cycles in our com-
munity. I myself, drive a little scooter, so I am all in favor of internal-combustion-driven-two-wheel vehicles. But they don’t have to be loud. The problem is there is no way of controlling this. Noise by-laws are unen-forceable. Some bikes are designed to make as
much noise as they can. Those noisy bikes still carry visitors to our com-munity who we want to appreciate and have them appreciate us. How do we let them know their bikes are too noisy for our com-munity without insulting them? of course motor-cycles are not the only form of noise pollution. Cars with blasting ste-reos also contribute to the overall urban din.
If I am to be truly honest, my scooter is not entirely quiet either.

Publisher’s note
Opinion&editorial
e a r l i e r this week was Canada Day, a
day to celebrate the creation of Canada on July 1st, 1867. But what else does Canada Day mean to us and how else can we show pride for our nation?
Canada Day is a day to celebrate nation pride and also a time to celebrate fam-ily. Some naysayers might bring up that the whole event reinforces old histo-ry and colonial myths, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. So what can be done to express our love
of our country? Well it’s generally been known that a fireworks show is shown in many areas all over the country, it’s a generally rou-tine way to show pride espe-cially in our town. Although what you do is generally up to you, perhaps delve into arts and crafts; write a song, something unique.
Canada Day is a day to celebrate; I personally haven’t celebrated it in some time but with some fresh ideas and some genu-ine enthusiasm about my homeland; I’m sure next year will be great.

Travis T. in the Kootenays, Wish You Were Here by Chris Rohrmoser
earlier on in April, I had the plea-sure of visiting Princeton Co-generation along with rDoS Director, Brad Hope. I would like to thank glenn Smith and others at the plant for making this inter-esting and informative visit possible.
Princeton Co-generation, which was founded in 1994, owns and oper-ates a 100,000 ton wood pellet mill and is the fourth largest employer in the town. It produces a much sought after carbon neutral green energy product.
The pellet mill supports thirty five (35) full time equivalent jobs (many at entry level) at the pellet plant, and supports a further seventy (70) full time equivalent jobs which transport feed stock – saw dust and shavings from BC interior saw mills to the pellet plant, and deliver finished goods – fuel pellets and animal bedding products throughout Canada, the West Coast of the uSA, and to Vancouver port for export to europe and Asia. The pellet mill contributes in excess of $8 million per year to the local economy.
The pellet plant exports roughly 60% of its product, the majority of which is being utilized in europe to offset emissions from coal fired power
plants. South Korea is also emerging as a key market for 2013 and beyond.
The current owners purchased the pellet plant in 2006 for a consideration of $5 million. They have subsequently invested a further $4.5 million in plant upgrades to increase the pellet plant capacity from 60,000 to 100,000 tons per year, despite significant economic challenges for the pellet industry dur-ing the last 3 years, recent and partial closure of BC interior saw mills, and the loss of export pricing advantage against the uS$.
BC provincial policies support-ing climate change policy, renewable energy, and good use of forestry assets remain the key attraction for the owner-
ship group, which would like to contin-ue and expand operations at Princeton if possible.
There were however a number of economic challenges which arose in 2012, namely significant unplanned mandated expenditure on pellet plant upgrades and electrical equipment, as a consequence of provincial saw mill incidents. Despite these economic chal-lenges, the owners of Princeton Co-generation remain very proactive and have managed to meet the additional unplanned expenditures.
It is my hope that both the fed-eral and provincial governments will be able to assist Princeton Co-generation to continue its existing operation and potentially grow to meet an ever grow-ing demand for its green energy prod-ucts.
Princeton Co-generation has been a trusted and pro-active business and employer in the area for 18 years and is at the forefront of addressing a wide variety of community issues, climate change, and environmental issues, and continues to support and make finan-cial contributions to local groups with strong community ties.

The Express Survey is not a scientific survey but is intended to promote discussion in our community.
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
TheSurvey
Do you own any art by local artists?I feel so privileged to live
in a place where creativity is so abundant. I have art, jewelry, pottery, movies, and music from local artists, and I plan on attaining more as well as making some of my own things in the future. It’s so nice to have a story behind the piece and say “I know the artist who made this.”
We have very talented artists in our area and I love having original artwork by local artists on my walls when it’s affordable.
almost all the art in my home is by local art-ists. and some pottery too. it feels good to know the stories behind them.
Is there any other art? Joking, of course, but why buy out of area when the quality it there in the local artists. Determine what style one likes by attending a few KSA graduation shows or shows in the local galleries, then then start with one... then another... and another. One never regrets getting the pieces.
I plan on obtaining several more pieces over the next two years or so
PaIntIngs, prints, pot-tery, metalworks, lots of all of them as we can afford them (just purchased a Nicole Hobbs painting to celebrate our 40th anniversary)
almost every art piece/painting I own is by a local artist...the local talent is so good, why buy anywhere/one else?
30 + pieces. Functional and decorative, large and small, bought, traded and gifted (given and received). From established artists to KSA students just start-ing out - and all treasured. We have an abundance of choice in our “100 mile (art) diet”!
the majority of our art is from local/regional artists.
all the art that I have purchased in the past 35 years is locally created.
100% YES

To vaccinate or not to vaccinate?
Rabies- just the word alone evokes images of fear, frothing aggressive dogs, and death. The movie “Old Yeller” left a genera-tion convinced that Rabies vac-cine is a necessity, for all pets. In this article I am going to give you a better understanding of Rabies, the real risks to you and your pet, and what you need to do to prevent it, and let you know if vac-cines are really necessary.
The incidence of Rabies in
Pets - Purely NaturalBy: Dr. Andrew Jones
North America is relatively low, with virtually all of the cases occurring in the Eastern United States. In Canada in 2011, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency reported 1 dog positive in Quebec, and 2 cats positive in Saskatchewan and Manitoba ( 3 animals total). British Columbia’s last positive case was a cat in 2007.
Rabies is easily prevent-able with vaccines, but there are concerns as to the timing of the vaccine, the vaccine side effects, and how often it needs to be given. Most veterinarians advise giving the first rabies vaccine at 12 weeks, followed up with a
booster 1 year later, then to be given every 1-3 years therafter. Rabies vaccine is associated with a number of serious diseases, and these include: autoimmune diseases such as hemolytic ane-mia, polyarthritis, thyroid disease, anaphylactic shock, epilepsy, vac-cine injection site cancer ( fibro-sarcoma), and polyneuropathy (the muscles/nerves are affected).
The risks of the vaccines need to be weighed against the risks of getting the disease. Based on the real health risks, I would wait until my dog or cat is 6 months of age before giving the first rabies vaccine. Do not give it in combination with other vaccines,
and avoid giving it if your pet is sick in any way. Depending on pro-vincial or state laws, (as in many require you to have the rabies vac-cine at certain intervals), I would advise having a rabies titre check performed by your veterinarian at 1 year, and only revaccinating if the titre level is not deemed to be pro-tective. Immunologist Dr. Ronald Schultz’s has studies showing that dogs have antibody titres with rabies immunity 7 years after vac-cination.
As a pet owner, you should carefully consider vaccinating your pet for this disease, discussing the use of antibody titres with your veterinarian.
DISCLAIMER: This information is for educational purposes only and is not intended to replace the advice of your own veterinarian. Dr. Andrew Jones resigned from the College of Veterinarians of B.C. effective December 1st 2010, meaning he cannot answer specific questions about your pet’s medical issues or make specific medical recommendations for your pet
