Slocan Lake search suspended After 10 days, the search for three youths presumed drowned in Slocan Lake following a canoe accident has been called off. The effort involved an RCMP dive team and helicopter, Arrow Lakes and Vernon search and rescue, the Slocan Lake Fire Department, Bruce’s Legacy and others. “It is unfortunate that the youths could not be located, however the terrain and depth played a large part in [the search] not being successful,” RCMP Sgt. Darryl Little said. “The RCMP would like to thank everyone who assisted in the search effort.” The youths’ families have been notified of the decision. Jule Wiltshire-Padfield, 15, Hayden Kyle, 21, and Skye Donnet, 18, have been missing since their canoe capsized in Bigelow Bay a week ago Saturday as they were en route from New Denver to Rosebery. Lily Harmer-Taylor, 19, was pulled from the canoe but died in hospital.

“This has been a diﬃcult 10 days for our community,” New Denver mayor Ann Bunka said in a statement. She thanked the many agencies who were both involved in the search and in providing counselling services. She also thanked the May Days committee and volunteers for pushing through with the annual event despite the tragedy. “This traditional community event which brings us together in a familiar, comfortable way was much appreciated,” she said. “Everyone in the community stepped up and took a role. The quality of people here is unsurpassed. Through the best of times and the worst of times we roll up our sleeves and get it done. It is a great source of pride and comfort to be part of this community.” An account has been set up at Kootenay Savings Credit Union to receive donations for the families. It’s under the New Denver Hospice Society account, 54734, Summit Savings No. 1.

A man who blocked a Slocan Valley logging road in March has received a 14-day conditional sentence and 18 months probation. Dennis Zarelli, 37, admitted to criminal contempt of court before BC Supreme Court Justice Mark McEwan Tuesday. He was arrested along with Marilyn James on a Perry Ridge logging road March 4 after Galena Contracting, which has a contract with BC Timber Sales to extend the road, obtained an injunction against protesters. Zarelli and James say they were trying to protect the Sinixt First Nation’s cultural sites. The sentence was the result of a joint submission by Crown and defence that called for 14 days in jail plus 18 to 24 months probation. However, if Zarelli abides by his conditions — including staying away from the logging road — he can serve his sentence under house arrest and won’t be required to spend time behind bars. Crown prosecutor Debra Drissell played a short video of an exchange between Zarelli and James and Galena’s Ray Hascarl at the gate to the logging road. She said Zarelli’s “public defiance” was an aggravating factor, tempered by his admission of guilt and personal circumstances. Court heard Zarelli has been raising his five-yearold son by himself after his common-law wife died the day he was arrested — which he only learned of upon his release. Zarelli’s lawyer, Don White, said Zarelli has “paid in a deep and emotional way for his actions already. It’s been a diﬃcult haul.” White said Zarelli “took full responsibility” for his actions and “was polite and respectful” in the encounter with Hascarl. There was no physical violence, Zarelli did not chain himself to anything, and he was co-operative during his arrest, White added. In drawing a portrait of his client, White said Zarelli has “decided to live his life in poverty and assist others” and is “an adopted member of the Sinixt.” He was born in Victoria, where his parents still reside, and has lived around Winlaw and Vallican for the Continued on Page 2

“It was a good idea at the time...”

Violated court injunction Continued from Page 1 last four years. His wife owned property on Perry Ridge, which brought him to the area. As the Sinixt communications liaison, he has written “thoughtful and respectful” letters to government and “prepared legal arguments based on international law to advance the Sinixt position,” White said. He also said Zarelli has helped local Sinixt with berry picking, documenting archaeological sites, and doing pithouse tours for local students. He hopes to get further archaeological training. White submitted a letter of reference on Zarelli’s behalf from Selkirk College anthropology professor Lori Barkley. White further said Zarelli isn’t a risk to reoffend and has abided by the court order to stay away from the Perry Ridge road since his arrest. In sentencing, McEwan lectured Zarelli for violating the court injunction and for arguing with him in court immediately after his arrest. Zarelli and James were initially remanded in custody after refusing to agree to stay off the road but changed their minds later that evening and were released. “You’re before the court essentially for taking the law into your own hands,” McEwan said. “You have a strong and idealistic notion that what is happening lawfully is regrettable.” He dismissed a letter Zarelli submitted to him as “legal gibberish. I am concerned where you are getting your information.

Dennis Zarelli received a 14-day conditional sentence this week for blocking a Perry Ridge logging road. Nelson Star file photo You can’t exempt yourself from the law by calling yourself a natural person. You can’t play games or try to run the court. Your breaches in the courtroom were almost as bad as your breaches out of it,” McEwan said. “I apologize for not having a good court interaction,” Zarelli said. “It wasn’t my intention to cause any disregard for you.” “I don’t take it personally,” McEwan said. “It’s the behaviour toward the court that was markedly disrespectful.” McEwan said Zarelli’s “very defiant acts” made him question the degree of his remorse. “I dealt with you immediately. That didn’t give you a license to misbehave. The court is here to hear anyone with a legiti-

mate legal claim, not to debate notions of natural persons and common law that your head seems to be filled with.” Zarelli said he has “had a lot of time to think about everything that has happened in the last 2½ months. I understand I violated a court order.” McEwan declined to impose community service as part of the sentence after hearing Zarelli is constantly volunteering. “You spend your life doing some form of community service,” he said. Marilyn James, who is also accused of criminal contempt, is expected to return to court on Monday. She is fighting the charge.

SD#8 Superintendent Jeff Jones said the change was been made because of a miscommunication between the BCTF executive committee and their field services. In a letter issued by SD#8 on May 21, Jones explained the date change. “Apparently there was a concern that BCTF representatives

travelling to the Representative Assembly from remote districts would need part of Thursday for travel, and shouldn’t be outside of their districts when teachers were involved in the full withdrawal of services.” Jones commented there could be more changes and recommended watching the www. sd8.bc.ca website closely.

News Absorbent material from cleanup of Lemon Creek found

Fuel spill booms discovered GREG NESTEROFF Nelson Star

Eight lengths of absorbent booms from last year’s tanker spill have turned up in Lemon Creek. Marilyn Burgoon with the Perry Ridge Water Users Association says they were discovered May 13 half a kilometre up Lemon Creek forest service road. A few days earlier, a local resident kayaking in the creek noticed a sheen and smelled fuel. A woman collecting water samples for the water users association then discovered the booms just upstream of the sheen, still smelling strongly. Burgoon contacted the Ministry of Environment who asked clean-up contractor Quantum Murray to remove and dispose of the booms, each about 10 feet (three metres) long. That was accomplished Friday. The ministry said no visible fuel or odour was detected from the boom at that time and “it is unlikely further material remains at the site.” A spokesman suggested the boom may have been displaced during the initial response, caught in a sheltered location, and then released during spring runoff. Independent fisheries biologist Otto Langer said the booms are a “fluffy light organic material” that float and absorb fuel products. “Here that jet fuel smell is still evident some 10 months after the spill even though it would probably have been exposed to the elements,” he said. “I am certain if one

Right: Upper portion of absorbent boom, facing upstream. Submitted photo looked into the sediments one could also find some jet fuel remaining.” Langer said he predicted that under a cold water environment, jet fuel wouldn’t evaporate or break down as quickly as consultants suggested and would remain in the creek until spring. He also said a good flood is needed to flush some of the last residual fuel out of the creek. Burgoon said she’s concerned the discovery of the booms is a sign of a lack of government oversight. “The ministry is so short-staffed, they’re not really overseeing it in a way I think they should be. How is it that someone didn’t see those booms besides a local resident?” She was also concerned “deleterious material” could have leached out of the booms and back into the creek over the winter. Burgoon said she feels community groups

are increasingly taking on roles previously handled by Ministry of Environment, including ongoing water sampling. “We’re the ones doing the work of overseeing when something like this happens. We love the river so we do it, but it’s a burden on the community who are the victims of the spill.” The incident last July saw a tanker truck carrying jet fuel for helicopters battling a forest fire on Perry Ridge make a wrong turn onto a forestry road. It tipped over, spilling 33,000 litres of fuel into the creek, which then flowed into the Slocan and Kootenay rivers. Executive Flight Centre, the company that owned the tanker, has an plan to monitor, assess, and document the distribution and concentration of residual contaminants.

A 33-year-old man is facing charges of breaching his probation and assaulting an officer after police received a report at approximately 8 p.m. Tuesday about a man with a weapon threatening people at the bus stop at Ward and Baker streets. Officers found the man was drunk and breaching conditions not to drink. Police say he resisted arrest and a “lengthy struggle” followed to get him into the police car. Police didn’t say what kind of weapon was involved.

Nelson bear calls persist The Nelson Police Department received “numerous” bear calls to areas around View Street and through to Fairview over the weekend. They remind residents that without accessible garbage, bears won’t stay in the city but will leave to find natural food sources in the mountains. “But because some residents continue to leave garbage in places bears can access, they are remaining and it is only a matter of time until a dangerous bear encounter with people or until the bear will have to be destroyed,” Laing said. Under the BC Wildlife Act, there is a $230 fine for leaving garbage in an area accessible to wildlife. Sightings can be reported to the RAPP line at 1-877-952-7277.

Girl rescued from embankment Police responded around 10:40 p.m. Friday to a teen party in the forest above L.V. Rogers secondary and below the Burlington Northern trail. A 14-year-old girl was in “medical distress” from drinking and needed help from two police officers, BC Ambulance, the Nelson fire department, and the help of several sober teens to take her down very steep terrain. “The Nelson Police Department would like to thank the teenagers who remained and assisted in carrying both equipment and the stretcher down the embankment to the ambulance,” Acting Sgt. David Laing said.

WILL JOHnSOn Nelson Star

For Don Johnston, talking about the local movie theatre is a personal matter. “Hey, my first date was at the Civic. That’s what the Civic means to me,” he told city council on Tuesday. Johnston, the vice-president of the Nelson Civic Theatre Society, gave an impassioned presentation about construction and expansion plans for the aging facility. He was joined by board member Graeme Leadbeater and architect Jennifer Marshall, as well as numerous members of the community. But before they started talking about future plans, Marshall took some Don Johnston time to celebrate their accomplishments over the course of the last year. “The response from the community has been miraculous,” said Marshall. The society currently has 2,400 members, has screened 123 films and has hosted 36,571 movie-goers. During that time they’ve spent approximately $300,000 to clean, paint, replace seats, install digital sound, build

But they’ve also come up against some unusual obstacles. “We’ve got air conditioning going in this month, which is great,” said Marshall, who described the 1935 structure as “old” and “cranky”. However, the concrete building isn’t properly insulated, which makes the air conditioning expensive and inefficient. She said their goal is sustainability, and the only way to accomplish that is to convert the existing theatre into three separate ones. “In a community like Nelson we can’t just have one movie going five days a week

and be sustainable,” she said. Their plan is to show blockbusters on the larger screen while reserving the smaller ones for indie and local films. They also hope to host a number of rental groups and have live performances. The society hopes to make the theatre more accessible for the handicapped, as the current ramp isn’t up to code. However, changing that may be problematic. “The structural engineers told us to stay away from the concrete shell,” said Marshall.

Common name: Sunburst Honey Locust Botanical Names: Gleditsia Triacanthos

ere is an award winning tree! First introduced in the 1950’s the Sunburst Locust won the prestigious Award of Garden Merit in 2002. It is one of the very best yellow foliaged trees you will find. Although originally found in wet or even swampy areas this smaller, rounded tree does well in much drier and free draining soils. It is somewhat slow to leaf out in spring but, when it does it is a sight to behold. The new foliage starts out a bright, almost lemon yellow, and turns into an attractive greenish-yellow during the summer. For fall it once again assumes the beautiful colour it first had in early spring. Their canopy is light and airy, and it is this quality that makes them good lawn

trees, since they will not provide too much shade for the grass beneath! Besides being drought tolerant, Sunburst Honey Locusts, adapt well to pollution and compacted soils, making them excellent as street trees in an urban landscape. The city of Nelson has planted these trees in various locations downtown in the mid 80’s and they continue to thrive today. The common name comes from the sweet gummy substance found in the seed pods of the common Honey Locust, but the Sunburst Locust is not only podless, but thornless as well, making it such a great choice for our landscape.

QUESTION

OF THE WEEK Do you feel a rotating strike by teachers will help resolve the ongoing negotiations?

Furniture decision If Chair John Kettle promised his constituents a report from an independent adjudicator, how can he now decide it’s ok to go ahead and award the contract without getting it reviewed? I’m beyond horrified. Morgan LeBlond

To answer, go to nelsonstar.com

I don’t think you should go with buying local just to support local businesses if it means paying a lot more, or purchasing something that’s lower quality. But that wasn’t the case here. Buying local was actually the cheaper option, and the difference in quality seemed negligible. John Paolozzi

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Are the new Nelson Hydro single poles an improvement from the old alley archway poles?

I truly believe this will become a political decision in the upcoming elections on how we vote and who we vote for I know it has changed my opinion of the Regional District in a big way. These directors do not deserve a second chance including the chairman. John JR Rowley

You responded:

YES: 65 % NO: 35 %

Ya, whatever happened to supporting our local businesses? Jennifer Jameson

BC Views — Tom Fletcher

Aboriginal education or victim studies?

he BC School Trustees’ Association is calling for a mandatory high school course on the history of residential schools set up to assimilate aboriginal children into European culture. Trustees propose a 25-hour course required for all graduating students, using interviews with residential school survivors, presentations by aboriginal leaders and discussion of current events. This would build on aboriginal courses already in offered in BC schools, and a public education effort that began with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s 2008 apology and compensation for Canada’s residential school policy. BC Teachers’ Federation vice-president Glen Hansman gave a speech on the need for mandatory education to a 2012 teacher conference. He said current aboriginal culture courses are poorly attended, and went on to denounce a school system he said is still based on “colonialism” and a “settler construct” of history. “We need to acknowledge that racism is the norm in public schools – still today,” Hansman said. Is it really? He also claimed that the purpose and legacy of the residential schools have been “deliberately hidden” from school

curriculum. In lieu of evidence, Hansman recounted old anecdotes of American-style stereotyping from his own schooling in Ontario. But mostly he demanded social engineering in schools that must of course include more funding, more teacher professional development time and an affirmative action program to recruit more aboriginal teachers. Do Hansman’s allegations reflect the kind of attitude that would lead to truth and reconciliation? Or are they signs of another unfortunate legacy, that of the victim studies mentality that permeates our universities? Here’s a suggestion for this mandatory course. Students could spend a couple of hours on one of the definitive works of BC aboriginal history, A Stó:lo Coast Salish Historical Atlas. A long-term project of the Stól:lo Nation, the atlas has meticulously documented chapters on European contact and residential schools, and others that piece together oral histories and what few written records there are of BC First Nations life at the time of European contact. A journal kept at Fort Langley from 1827 to 1830 documents some of the raids between aboriginal communities on the Fraser River and Vancouver Island, corroborating elders’ accounts.

“Archaeological study of stone fortifications and weapons at fishing sites in the Fraser Canyon traces a history of intercommunity violence back at least 3,000 years.” During those three years, Cowichan men attacked the Chilliwack Stó:lo community four times. In the same period, the journal records 30 incidents of inter-community violence, some reaching down to present-day Washington state. Atlas editor Keith Thor Carlson summarized the research this way: “Viewed from the perspective of the aggressor, raids and attacks appear to have been motivated primarily by a desire to obtain quick wealth (in the form of slaves and property such as dried

and smoked salmon) or to exact revenge for previous insults.” Archaeological study of stone fortifications and weapons at fishing sites in the Fraser Canyon traces a history of inter-community violence back at least 3,000 years. Historians characterize some of this as warfare. British colonial authorities had some “settler constructs” about these activities: they saw them as assault, robbery, abduction and murder as well as slavery. This is the seldom-discussed backdrop for the European settlement of British Columbia, the imposition of British law and the later establishment of church-run residential schools. None of this is to excuse the forced removal of aboriginal children from their families, the horrendous abuse and neglect or the multigenerational damage to a culture already weakened by waves of smallpox. This 1928 plan to fix what was called the “Indian problem” deserves to be understood by everyone. But glossing over historical context and presenting a guilt trip to students would serve no one well. — Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Call for tenure to be eliminated There is something very wrong with our education system. Our youth are getting an education that is contributing to the demise of our planet. We need new teachers. We need a new vision so that our youth can be the solution rath-

er than the cause of our problems. Our education system is failing us. Let us start to improve it by eliminating tenure from the teaching profession, from kindergarten to the lofty heights of our universities.

Garbage dumping discovered on Give Out Road

Long weekend littering Tamara Hynd Nelson Star

The May long weekend is famous for Canadians getting out to enjoy the spring beauty nature has to offer. Unfortunately for some people, it meant finding heaps of garbage dumped randomly south of Nelson. Mariah Walchuk was shuttling her boyfriend up Give Out Road to go mountain biking last weekend when they came across a pile of burnt garbage and trash strewn about including old tires and pieces of furniture and appliances. “To whomever did this, perhaps they can help with clean up or us as a community can come together and clean it up,” said Walchuk. The Nelson transfer station, located at 70 Lakeview Drive, is open Monday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. For the hours of the RDCK transfer stations visit www.rdck.ca/EN/main/services/wasterecycling/hours-of-operation.html.

asked when their plans are going to become a reality, he said he has a simple answer: “Once we have three theatres.” The presentation was received enthusiastically by Cherbo and other councillors. “This project has taken off and flown,” said councillor Deb Kozak, who noted that it was really difficult for community members when the theatre wasn’t in use. She thanked the society for all their hard work. “It think it speaks to how badly people want this.” Cherbo wanted to know whether the new theatres would be able to show 3D movies. The current screen is slightly distorted, and not built to modern specifications. Johnston said once the theatre has been converted into three spaces they will have 3D capability. Whatever changes they make, though, they will all be done with the participation and consensus of the community. “We think it’s really quite simple. This is a building done by the community, for the community,” said Leadbeater. “Everyone’s excited.”

Parking lot paving could impact opening

Streetcar #23 delayed Will Johnson Nelson Star

The paving project at Chahko Mika Mall has caused some unforeseen complications for the Nelson Electric Tramway Society. Jim Robertson, the operation superintendant, is concerned that their announced plan to have Streetcar #23 running by today is now in jeopardy. While the crews are paving at the mall, the power lines above have been turned off for safety concerns. When volunteers arrived on Wednesday to prepare the tramway for operation by cleaning the rails, they were told they had to leave due to liability concerns, Robertson said. “We’ve lost anywhere between $1,000 and $1,500 so far because of the mall parking lot paving not being finished,” said Robertson. So far they’ve lost four wedding charters, which typically ferry wedding parties from the Prestige resort to Lakeside Park for photos. “The paving was originally supposed to be done by April 16, then they still hadn’t awarded a contract. Then they said they’d have it paved by Saturday, then they said Tuesday, then they stood around due to moisture, the gravel was too moist and they couldn’t pave over it. “I’m hoping they’ll pave today (Thursday), and if they do we might be able to run tomorrow,” said Robertson. Tony Maida of Selkirk Paving said the job was continuing as planned and was scheduled to be complete on May 26.

“There’s nothing controversial about this project,” said Bernie Penner, owner of Pennco Engineering. He said everyone in Nelson knows the mall parking lot needs upgrades, and he hopes the work will be complete “very, very soon.” “We are totally at the will of Selkirk Paving and the mall management,” said Robertson. “They’ve been dragging their feet. Right now we’re extremely frustrated.” “I did get a sorry out of Tony,” said Robertson. “As far as reimbursement for lost revenue, they haven’t acknowledged that were entitled to anything. We’re out of luck.” Robertson said half the parking lot has been cleared out, and they’ve done some work cleaning the rails. They have to complete cleaning the rails to avoid risking derailment, he said. “It’s iffy at this point,” said Robertson of their planned opening. “We’re in obeisance until they give us the okay and turn our power back on.” Streetcar #23 is a fully functional streetcar that was used in Nelson for the first half of the twentieth century and was once the backup streetcar for the defunct Nelson Street Railway. The Nelson Electric Tramway Society, The Chamber of Commerce, Royal Bank and Selkirk College all contributed to restoring the streetcar, which provides a scenic ride along Nelson’s waterfront. The society is volunteer-driven. For more information about Streetcar #23, visit the Nelson Electric Tramway Society’s website or their Facebook page.

MP disappointed in horsemeat bill failure Alex Atamanenko, MP for BC Southern Interior has expressed his disappointment regarding parliament’s defeat of his Bill C-571 through which he hoped to overhaul the horsemeat industry in the interests of food safety. In a written release from Ottawa, Atamanenko said “I am very dismayed that my Bill C-571 did not get quite enough support in Parliament to pass on to Committee stage where it would have received thorough scrutiny and proper debate. I had hoped to follow an example set by the EU to have the same food safety standards, transparency and accountability applied to the horsemeat industry as is required of all animals that are raised to produce food for the human food chain.” He went on to say that horses are commonly and

even routinely administered a long list of common medications labelled as toxic and not intended for use in food animals because no safe limits or withdrawals periods have been established. “Unlike the cattle industry where food production is its primary purpose, the horse slaughter for meat industry mainly exists to dispose of the industrial byproduct from the equine sporting industry where abuse and overuse of drugs is rampant,” he wrote. By presenting arguments based on food safety, science and legal accountability, renowned international equestrian Victoria McCullough and Florida State Senator Joseph Abruzzo recently effected a nearly unanimous and non-partisan decision in the US Congress to keep American slaughterhouses closed to horses.

�rts and Entertainment CORAZON

can bring an audience to tears Will Johnson

Nelson Star

LECIA Maslechko thought last year would be her final season with Nelson’s celebrated youth choir Corazon, but she just couldn’t stay away. Her decision to stay beyond her graduating year of school paid off recently when she got to travel with 45 of her vocal compatriots and their musical director Allison Girvan to the Kaleid Festival in Woodstock, Ontario. “I’ve never been that far east before,” said Maslechko, 19. “It was an incredible experience, and I feel really lucky that I got to be a part of it.” The festival was an opportunity to kick the group’s choral game into high gear, as they prepared for four upcoming hometown concerts. “We definitely weren’t prepared when we left,” said Maslechko. “But then there’s that push, that panic, and then all of sudden you just get it.” Corazon was invited to the festival by Jennifer Moir, a prominent musical director and teacher in Ontario. She said having Corazon at the event was a dream that started when she saw them perform 10 years ago at a festival in Banff. “The way they walked into the space, I knew something extraordinary was about to happen,” said Moir. “On stage they stood with such confidence. They stood

tall like they knew who they were, proud but humble. I was in tears before they opened their mouths. Then they started to sing, and I was an emotional wreck from them on.” When asked which numbers typically bring the audiences to tears, Maslechko mentioned Boxes, a popular number they brought back from last year. “It’s about growing up. The audiences seem to really feel it. It’s emotional, and really relatable, I think.” But Maslechko’s favourite number is a unique piece called Naalah, sung in Urdu, that deals with loss and healing. Though the song was written over 150 years ago, she believes the sentiments are as resonant today as when they were originally penned. The song begins with an oboe introduction that has been adapted to a soprano solo for Hannah Jarvis Lingard. “It’s quiet, gentle, sad. Like a longing,” said Maslechko. “Then the boys come in with a quiet hum, and it builds and builds to this huge crescendo, angry and sorrowful.” Maslechko was especially excited that Corazon got the chance to perform and hang out with Rajaton, an a cappella vocal group from Finland. “Allison usually describes them as the pop

stars of the choral world,” Maslechko said. “At the end everyone was getting them to sign stuff. You could tell they were tired, but they were really humble and gracious,” Along with her younger sister Oksana, 17, Maslechko bought some Rajaton CDs and got the members to sign them. While at the festival, Corazon spent three 12-hour days with hundreds of singers ranging in age from five to 90, learning, mentoring, rehearsing and performing on their own and as part of several mass choir events. “To have Corazon here was inspiring for the little kids who are looking up to them like big brothers and sisters,” said Moir. “But it was equally inspiring to the high school and adult singers to see that kind of example, and what kind of dedication they must have, to sing at that calibre. They all saw these are ‘normal kids’ singing like that, from a small town in the mountains of BC. That was an inspiration to everyone.” Corazon is an auditioned choir whose members range image from 13 to 21. For the past 12 years the group has been a powerful incubator of musical talent in Nelson. The concerts will run at the Nelson United Church at 2, 6 and 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 31 and Tuesday, June 3. Tickets are available at the Capitol Theatre box office in person, by phone at 352-6363 or at www.capitoltheatre.bc.ca.

Classical sound of Cafamore

Now in its sixth season, La Cafamore returns to the Nelson United Church on Sunda, May 25, at 7:30 p.m. to perform string trios of Beethoven, Kodaly and Dvorak. Carolyn Cameron (violin), Angela Snyder (violin) and Alexis More (viola) bring to life works inspired by German, Bohemian and Hungarian folk tunes. Submitted photo

claimed that he would learn the cello and the oboe in another lifetime” says Snyder “his violin, the Fenyves Stradivarius had a special soaring oboe-like quality.” Snyder hopes that audiences will respond to the song and dance aspects of the program which has been inspired by the folk tunes of Germany, Bohemia and Hungary. 12:15:45 PM The group looks forward to

another opportunity to perform in Nelson. “The community is such a strong supporter of classical music” notes Alexis, formerly of Nelson. The concert takes place May 25 at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and children under 12 are free. Tickets are available at the door.

Ever wonder what elevator music of the late 1700s might sound like? This and other burning questions will be answered when La Cafamore takes to the stage in the Nelson United Church on Sunday May 25. The group, now in its sixth year of performance in the Kootenays, will be playing the works of Beethoven, Kodaly and Dvorak arranged for two violin and viola. For violist Alexis More, the chance to play music of the Hungarian composer/educator Kodaly hits a personal note. Her mother, Connie Foss More, is a pioneer in the study and teaching of Kodaly’s music education system (known as the Kodaly method). Alexis’ life is a testament to Kodaly’s adage that children were “never to young to begin” the study of music: the violist was exposed to Kodaly’s method while in utero and throughout her childhood. Angela Snyder (violin) also has a rich connection to Hungarian music making through her former teacher, noted violinist Lorand Fenyves. In the Hungarian teaching tradition, Fenyves advocated singing musical lines to better understand 15/05/2014 the music.KIS.NDCU_May21.23.pdf “He loved the 1singing instruments of the orchestra and

More than 150 pieces of local artwork will be on display today at the Oxygen Art Market. The works are hung from floor to ceiling in a “Salon” style. Boukie Elzinga has been the head art hanger for the event for the past four years and said she’s “hooked”. The works are made by over 40 Kootenay artists from senior to emerging, and many of whom are founding and/or active members of the artist-run centre. As well as artists from all over whom have exhibited or been residents at the Centre over the last decade. Oxygen Art Market is a major fundraiser for Oxygen Art Centre, which is a not for profit organization and a registered charity, and produces APPROVED year round arts programming, including six months of exhibitions and residencies that are free for the public to attend. “Artists are donating 50 per cent, and in some cases even 100 per cent of their artwork sales to Oxygen,” said market Executive Director Miriam Needoba. “The event is great in that it brings in funds both to the Centre and the local art community, and provides everyone with a chance to take home some original and locally made art for their walls.

Miriam Needoba (top photo), Oxygen Art Centre’s executive director, angles the spotlights on the Oxygen Art Market display which opens tonight at 7 p.m. Brad Bradley’s work (bottom photo) demonstrates that turning the pages of a book is a real art. Tamara Hynd photo There are opportunities for collectors and great deals to be had. It is a treat to just to drop by and see so many artists in one space.” From the colourful paintings of Nicole Hobbs to the reworked books of Brad Bradley there is something for everyone. The art market opens today at 7 p.m. until 10 p.m. and continues over the weekend: Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information visit www.oxygenartcentre.org.

Shortlist for One Book One Kootenay

Cast your vote

South of Elfrida, Africa’s Unfinished Symphony, Blue Collar B&B; a more diverse list of titles is hard to imagine. That diversity is part of the beauty of the One Book, One Kootenay shortlist, an annual initiative that asks: what book should all Kootenay booklovers read? One Book One Kootenay, or OBOK, is a library-driven celebration of Kootenay-Boundary literature sponsored by the Kootenay Library Federation and supported by the Columbia Basin Trust. This year’s shortlist celebrates South of Elfrida (Brindle & Glass, 2013) by Kaslo’s Holley Rubinsky; Africa’s Unfinished Symphony (Grassroots Publishing Group, 2013) by Fauquier resident Lucia Mann; and from Sparwood, Bobby Hutchinson, author of Blue Collar B&B (Langdon Street Press, 2009). The books were chosen by a committee of discerning readers from among titles written by Kootenay-Boundary authors within the last five years. The OBOK committee looked for compelling books that are hard to put down, and that stay with the reader after the final page is turned. Readers are asked to vote on the book they think should be this year’s One Book, One Kootenay selected title. Copies of the books are now available, and shortlisted authors are touring select libraries in the region this spring, with the selected author touring solo in the fall. Author information can be found at www.obok.ca. Beginning in June video clips of the authors discussing their works, created by Amy Bohigian of Watershed Productions, will also be featured. Look for the ballot box located across from the Nelson Library circulation desk until August 9. Cast your vote and be entered to win a copy of the selected title. The 2014 One Book, One Kootenay selection will be announced on September 8.

Preparing fresh grilled vegetables One of the highlights of the summer season is the incredible bounty of fresh produce, and grilling these vegetables gives them a smoky, delicious dimension. The following are some simple tips for flavor perfection. When preparing vegetables, slice them to expose as much of the vegetable to the grill surface as you can. Coat vegetables with olive oil before placing them on the grill. This will help prevent them from sticking to the grill. Use the right tool for the job. Accessories like grill toppers and skewers are perfect for keeping smaller foods like cherry tomatoes and onions from rolling around or falling through the grate. Don’t leave vegetables unattended. Vegetables are delicate and can easily overcook if not monitored. Grill extras. Leftover grilled vegetables are great in soups, salads, sandwiches and on pizzas and pasta. When grilling vegetables, consider this popular recipe.

A cast of 19 Nelson performers will bring the musical Chicago to the Capitol Theatre stage next month, and helping them prepare vocally for the production is music directing duo Allison Girvan and Desiree Hall. For the past month and a half, the pair have been at twice-weekly rehearsals helping the actors perfect the show’s many musical numbers. It’s a familiar role for Girvan who leads the Corazon and Lalin vocal ensembles and is a regular behind the piano at rehearsals for youth theatre productions. But for Hall it’s a brand new opportunity. A Corazon alumna who now sings with Lalin and recently completed the Selkirk music program, Hall is shadowing Girvan to learn what it’s like to direct other vocalists. “It’s been super eye-opening for me to be in this seat and realize it’s really what I’ve always wanted to be doing,” said Hall, who’s involvement with musical theatre has more often been as an actor. She most recently appeared as a villager in the Christmas pantomime Rapunzel. Hall said she’s learning a lot from Girvan, particularly around

Sam Van Schie photo how to urge the singers to change what they’re doing without causing them unnecessary stress. Girvan has also benefited from having Hall by her side. She said offering the mentorship means she always has an extra set of ears and somebody to bounce ideas off of. “It’s a lovely gift for me to have somebody else who is very talented sitting here listening, who I can turn to and ask, ‘what did you hear,’” Girvan said. Also helping out on the music is Darren Fuss, the rehearsal pianist who will double as band leader during the show, directing the musicians who play live on stage. “They’re such a kind and sup-

portive team to work with,” said Chicago producer Sydney Black who also plays the vaudevillian murderesses Velma. “Music can he really difficult, especially if you can’t quite hit the right notes. You need somebody there who can make you feel successful even when you’re having a really frustrating session.” Black met Girvan when she was a teenager taking part in Capitol Youth Theatre productions and singing as one of the founding members in Corazon. As an adult, they were reunited when Girvan was musical director for Little Show of Horrors, the first Nelson production Black acted in after theatre school. “She’s a huge inspiration and just one of the best people to work with,” Black said of Girvan, noting that Hall has a similar demeanor and the two compliment each other very well. For her part, Girvan said she feels fortunate to be working with such a talented bunch of performers, including her eldest son Gabriel Macdonald who plays the emcee. Chicago runs June 12 to 15. Tickets are available at the Capitol Theatre online at capitoltheatre. bc.ca or by phone, 250-352-6363.

Nelson’s Dryden Hunt hoping to hear his name come draft day

Hunting down an NHL dream Malcolm McCutcheon Nelson Star

Growing up playing minor hockey in Nelson, Dryden Hunt always dreamed of playing in the NHL, and with his recent jump forward on the Central Scouting Service’s final rankings for the 2014 NHL Draft in June the 18-year-old’s dream may soon become a reality. “I am very excited about the draft. Obviously I am nervous. It’s in other people’s hands so you don’t really know what is going to happen, but just to be ranked and in the talk is pretty cool,” said Hunt. After turning heads with his explosive play in the latter half of the season Hunt is going into the draft ranked in 144th position among North American Skaters. “Not being ranked all year and then on the final ranking being ranked 144th is pretty cool. It’s all right being on there with some of those names, it’s obviously exciting to be on that list.” Playing for the WHL Regina Pats for the past three seasons Hunt has had a solid support base from his teammates while in pursuit of his NHL dreams. “Playing for the Pats has been great. I have had great coaches the last three years. I just have so much support from the ownership, general managers, my

coaches and teammates to stick with it and stay in Regina. It has been a great three years,” he said. With the 2013-14 season completed, Hunt finished with an impressive total of 40 points notching 21 goals and lending 19 assists in 62 games played. “I started off pretty slow this season. I don’t think I scored my first goal until 15 games in, but I started playing with some great players, who will go far in their careers, and I picked it up as the season went on playing well in playoffs, so it was a good year.” Hunt began his hockey career in Nelson playing minor hockey until his second year of Bantam when he made a big move to the Notre Dame Hockey College in Saskatchewan. He then later returned to the Kootenays during his major-midget years. “Nelson minor hockey is a great association with so many great people that are apart of it. Without all of the volunteers and coaches it wouldn’t be anything. All of my past coaches helped me get to where I am today and I owe it all to them,” said Hunt. At the age of 15 Hunt played his first game in the WHL and sharing the ice with 21-year-olds was big change for the young athlete. “You grow up very quickly. It was a huge stepping stone from

major-midget to the Western Hockey League but it turned out to be a good one,” said Hunt. Due to a late November birthday this will be the first NHL draft Hunt is eligible to be selected in, and while the Nelson native will not be attending the

draft in person due to summer training in Calgary he will be turning on a television to see if he is one step closer to realizing his NHL dreams. “It would be a huge honour to be drafted in the NHL, it’s just one step closer, it is something

that I have dreamt of for a long time,” said Hunt. The 2014 NHL Entry Draft takes place on June 27 and 28 in Philadelphia. The event is televised so fans can keep a close watch as Hunt tries to represent Nelson on the NHL stage.

Kootenay swim club prepares for championships Will Johnson Nelson Star

The Kootenay Swim Club is wrapping up their most successful season yet, but coach Chris Wright believes this is just the beginning. He currently coaches two 13-year old girls, Kelsey Adrusak and Gabrielle Hanvold, who have qualified for AAA championships in July. A third, Ella Korth, has qualified for the AA championships in June, and could still qualify to join her teammates at the next level. “Kelsey is our freestyler, breastroker,” he said. “Gabby is our flyer. Ella’s mostly a breaststroker, but she also has a killer freestyle.”

We’re sending one boy and three girls, and there will be between 800 and 1,000 swimmers there,” Wright says. “Stevie” Stevenson McCulloch, 10, said he’s looking forward to the Washington meet because it will be the first time he competes in the 400 Freestyle.

But for the last year he’s been back in Nelson, and he’s seen the club swell to record levels.

Wright ultimately aims to have “a squad in each town with a coach who lives in that town.” Next year, he plans to start a squad in Castlegar and he wants to investigate starting a Master’s team for adults. “There’s nothing really organized in this whole region,” he said. “And it’s not a question of demand. Parents, kids, everyone wants to be swimming and they want coaches. But right now there’s a bit of a lack of coaches in the area.” The club currently has between 8 to 10 swimmers from Nelson, 15 from Castlegar and a number who have dropped in randomly over the course of the year. In May they had 30 total. Wright said he’s focusing his membership drive on younger kids, to get them hooked young. He said his goal is to have swimmers in the water from “cradle to grave.”

Soccer tourney begins

Legacy lives on

Will Johnson Nelson Star

The water fountain at Lakeside Park has an interesting backstory, for those curious enough to ask. Years ago legendary Nelson coach Terry Walgren decided that the current fountain was too far away to walk during games. After he passed in 2003, his friends installed a new one midfield that sees regular use today. “The kids use it constantly. It’s perfectly situated between the two pitches,” said Chuck Bennett, chair of Nelson Youth Soccer. That fountain is only one way Nelson soccer enthusiasts are keeping Walgren’s memory alive. Another is with the upcoming Nelson Youth Soccer Association’s Terry Walgren Tournament, which runs from today to Sunday at Lakeside Park and will host over 50 games. “Terry was a great player and a great guy. He’s one of the core guys in Nelson who got soccer up and running,” Bennett said. He said before Walgren’s intervention, Nelson was primarily a hockey town. He believes that without him and others who introduced the sport to the Kootenays, the popularity of soccer wouldn’t be where it is today. “He was always involved, always coaching,” said Bennett. “He was an extremely talented player.” Bennett said the tournament has been growing for many years, and last year grew from being an exclusively female event to now include their male counterparts. “We’re looking to become the preeminent tournament in the Kootenays and I think we’re on the right 2.833 xContinued 5” on Page 22

Love

Pastor Ken Keber - Bethel Christian Centre, Nelson BC

We live in a very self centred world. There have been many times that I have listened to children in a store throw a tantrum that can be summed up: “I want, I want, I want,” or “Me, Me, Me...” When we grow up, we become more educated and more sophisticated, but sometimes I think that inside we haven’t changed much from that child having a tantrum. I would like to suggest that our world would be a much better place if we all learned to love each other and care about each other rather than being continually self centered. The Jesus said that the two greatest things that we could do are to love God with all of our hearts, and to love those around us like we love ourselves. Today I would like to give you some thoughts on what perfect love really is. Slow to suspect – quick to trust Slow to condemn – quick to justify Slow to offend – quick to defend Slow to expose – quick to shield Slow to reprimand – quick to forbear Slow to belittle – quick to appreciate Slow to demand – quick to give Slow to provoke – quick to conciliate Slow to hinder – A Friendly Bible quick to help Centre Church Slow to resent – quick Sunday Morning Worship 10:00 am “Use What God Has Given You” to forgive 623 Gordon Rd.

track,” said Bennett. He said some players and members of the community have asked who Walgren was, and he hopes that through the tournament they can “keep his memory alive.” Walgren grew up in Nelson in the 1970s, during the infancy of the Nelson Youth Soccer Association. He graduated from L.V. Rogers and played for the Simon Fraser Clansmen and the University of Alberta Golden Bears. Though he was exceptional player, Walgren’s real passion was coaching. He earned an NCCP level III certification. Throughout a lengthy convalescence, he

continued to mentor and inspire young players and coaches. At the time of his passing in 2003 he was the highest rated coach in Nelson. Walgren coached and played for the Nelson Inn Keepers and aided the women’s team make it to provincial championships. Perhaps it’s appropriate, then, that the tournament that bears his name will host teams from cross the province, including the Creston Blitzz, the Salmon Arm Warriors, Kootenay South Saints and Fernie United, as well as many others. The event starts today at 5 p.m. and wraps up Sunday night. All games are at Lakeside Park.

Obituaries

MYRTLE ALICE TRIOL After a full life, at the age of 95, Myrtle Triol entered her eternal rest on the morning of May 11.2014. Born the middle child of Henry and Martha Robinson of Dome Creek B.C., she lived with her family for the first two decades, near the train line that connected them to Prince George. She then moved on to Trail B.C. There she met her future husband William Triol, raised her family and enjoyed many years of good times and hard work, active in her church community and service groups before moving to Nelson in the mid 90â€™s. Myrtle was predeceased by her husband Bill after 48 years of marriage. She was the last of her 11 siblings. She is survived by her son Bill Triol Jr and daughter Colleen (Aldo) Doratti, her grandsons Michael and Patrick and many extended family members. Her cremains have been laid to rest in the Nelson cemetery. All who were close to her remember her gentleness, her kindness and her listening heart. She was a hard worker and a peacemaker. A tea drinker, gardener, knitter. Weâ€™ll never forget those wonderful homemade pies! She loved animals, roses and pansies, the seasons, hot stew, visiting friends, curling, badminton, bowling, playing bridge. And she loved her family deeply. We will always love her. The family would like to extend our appreciation to Dr. Paul Walker and Dr. Trevor Janz and to the wonderful Caregivers and Staff at Jubilee Manor for their compassionate, loving presence in Myrtleâ€™s last years.

Touchstones of Nelson – Greg Scott

School named Trafalgar

MAY Dateline: May 14, 1964 Nelson Junior High School will officially change its name to Trafalgar Junior Secondary School on September 1. This was decided by trustees of Nelson School District No.7 Monday night. Those present broke away from serious business to reminisce about the junior high school which was erected as an elementary school and stood idle for several years until junior high schools became established in BC. Originally named Trafalgar, the building’s cornerstone is so inscribed. Members recalled that the name, with its “Nelson” connotation, was originally suggested by R.E. Brown in a special contest. Dateline: May 15, 1964 Official opening of the newly renovated Central School took place in an atmosphere of reminiscing and a philosophical look into the future Wednesday night. A large number of Nelson old-timers, who were educated when the school was in its infancy returned to witness the dedication ceremonies. Retired principal F.B. Pearce, who reigned over the pupils from 1939 to 1953, proclaimed it was “the school board’s night to howl.” A brief dissertation on the school’s renovation program which started last year was given which outlined the major changes that were made following demolition of the third floor and its replacement with a flat roof. The school’s refurbishing was directed to the library, stairways and corridors. Dateline: May 19, 1964 Delegates to the annual Canadian Amateur Ski Association meeting in Ottawa have adopted a training program to enable national-class skiers to further their education while developing into top caliber competitors.

nelsonstar.com 25

The training system is scheduled over a period of eight months and will be held in co-operation with Notre Dame University at Nelson BC Among the skiers named to the national team was Nancy Greene of Rossland and Emily Ringheim of Kimberley. Dateline: May 21, 1964 Furious wind gusts tore savagely into Nelson during Wednesday’s supper hour causing several thousands of dollars damage and littering the streets with debris. No persons were reported injured as swirling glass from broken windows and skylights was flailed about like bolos on the city’s main streets by cyclone winds, estimated up to gusts of 80 miles per hour. Heaviest damage was incurred by costly power boats at their moorings on the waterfront and by an airport hangar and airplanes as well as windows and roofing. The storm roared out of the west at about 6 p.m. into practically deserted streets, culminating a hot humid day overshadowed by ominous thunder cloud formations. On the lake, its strength is reported to have sent water sheets to heights between 20 and 50 feet. Its fury can best be judged by a boathouse roof which sailed an estimated 500 yards through the air. Dateline: May 28, 1964 The Government Wednesday unfurled its proposed new flag for Canada-Three red Maple leaves on a white background with a vertical blue bar on each side. It was immediately caught in a series of stiff political breezes that indicated the new flag will be fluttering in the Commons for some time before it earns parliamentary approval for national use. The three-leaf design goes back to 1868 when it first appeared on the arms of Ontario and Quebec, and in 1921 it was proclaimed the official emblem of Canada.

From Oprah to OBOK Contributing to the common cultural good

Oh, the book club! In which practitioners of that solitary occupation — reading — come out of their introverted hidey-holes to discuss the worlds of characters and plots with fellow book-lovers. According to a Descant (Canadian literary magazine) blog written by Lesley Kenny, “The first book club meeting can be traced back to the 5th century, BCE, when a group of (mostly) women met over cups of steaming bullrush broth to talk about The Book of Ruth. “Word had gotten out that the book was written by Samuel, who, it was rumoured, had an affair with the third cousin of one of the book club women, although that has never actually been substantiated.” Kenny’s hilarious blog can be found at www.descant.ca/ blog/2013/10/21/book-clubs-ahistory-perhaps/. The author reassures us that the first book club was not, in fact, started by Oprah, although to be fair she was a doorway into the phenomenon for many. She quotes stats that there are now 6,437,937 book clubs worldwide (the exactness of that number intrigues me). Book clubs are made up of all sorts of people, meet in all sorts of places, imbibe in all sorts of libations, and oh, yes! Books. They discuss all sorts of books.

From the original, biblical Book of Ruth to Jane Hamilton’s more contemporary novel of the same name, book clubs debate the nefarious motives of fictional persons like back-fence fishwives. Non-fiction book-clubbers might delve into the life of Steve Jobs like literary hackers, or unblinkingly debate Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink, almost to the Tipping Point. It’s all good fodder, and we love it. My experience is that book clubs tend to fly a little under the radar, depending, as they do, on a good social dynamic (and sometimes a good bottle of wine). Here in Nelson I’ll bet there are 30 book clubs operating, but they tend to stay mum; pleas in past columns to ’fess up and help the library create a list has met with stony silence (feel free to break it, any of you open to new members. We get asked all the time.) There are two book clubs that are always open to all. One is the Bookies Book Club, a friendly group that meets monthly at the Continued on Page 27

Seniors Centre next to the Civic Theatre. Call Carol at 505-2023 to find out what book will be dissected — er, discussed — next, and when. The other is One Book, One Kootenay (OBOK), a region-wide book club that asks the question: which book should all Kootenay booklovers read this year? Each year a panel of librarians meets, discusses books published in the Kootenay/Boundary region in the past five years in a sort of mega-mega book club, and then hones it all down to a shortlist of three. This year, the books are South of Elfrida (Brindle & Glass, 2013) by Kaslo’s Holley Rubinsky; Africa’s Unfinished Symphony (Grassroots Publishing Group, 2013) by Fauquier resident Lucia Mann; and from Sparwood, Bobby Hutchinson, author of Blue Collar B&B (Langdon Street Press, 2009). More on these in a future column. I love this club for the myriad ways we can participate. We can read the books and vote for our fave in the library. We can watch video footage of the authors discussing their books online at www.obok.ca. We can attend readings happening throughout the Kootenays prior to the voting deadline (August 9) or this year’s selected author after the ballots are counted (September 8). Meantime, folks might just start their own, shortterm book club to read and discuss these three books prior to voting deadline. It could be a nice, not-too-committed toe-dip into the book club world. Interested? Drop me an email at adegrace@nelson.ca and we’ll see if we can start the 6,437,938th book club right here. — Anne DeGrace is the Adult Services Coordinator at the Nelson Public Library.

BLACK IS BACK!

In style, that is! We have some incredibly cute puppies and kittens, charming personalities, healthy and just raring to join their forever families now. Did you know that black pups and kittens are almost always adopted last? Let’s change that, Nelson! All these pups and kittens are being fostered by KAAP. They have been vet checked and fully vaccinated, and will be spayed/neutered and tattooed when they are of age. All this is covered by their adoption fee. And let’s not forget poor Snowball, who has been waiting for his forever home for 15 months.

SNOWBALL This young medium hair kitty is the best. He is affectionate, sweet, gets along with other cats (and small dogs), easy to please, just wants to love. He has a skin allergy that is successfully controlled by daily liquid meds; he has been overlooked because of this. Call KAAP at 250-551-1053 to meet Snowball.
