Over 10,000 expected for multi-day event featuring new casino night
By: Will Johnson
T
he Nelson Road Kings are expecting more than 350 cars to register for the 12th annual Queen City Cruise, and they’re thrilled to be hosting such a popular and long-standing event. “It gets better every year. We’ve got lots of vehicles coming from Washington and Idaho, quite a few from the Okanagan. We get calls from the Lower Mainland. They’ve heard about our show,” said president Stan Brost. “You walk down Baker Street and you’re going to see cars from the Chrysler dealer all the way down to Kootenay Co-op. It will all be filled with cars. On average, we usually see close to 10,000 people. We’re one of the biggest events of the year.” Brost said the economic spinoff for the community is huge, but their main focus is on throwing the best party they can. To that end, they’re introducing a brand new casino night, which will be held at the Adventure Hotel on Vernon Street. “We call it a cruise night charity casino,” said club director Ron Cutler. “What it is, we’ve got true casino games. Roulette, horse racing, Black Jack, Poker, Red Dog, Casino War, 3-Card Poker and Sic Bo. Twenty dollars gets you in the doors, and we supply appies with that. It also gets you $500 worth of poker chips.” The chips themselves have no face value, but the three people with the most chips at the end of the night will be eligible for a trio of prizes with an approximate value of $500. There will also be a wheel where visitors make a $5 donation to the Road Kings for an opportunity to spin. Prizes include T-shirts, cleaning products, car accessories and poker chips. “I think the whole idea is to make it a more fulfilled weekend. Saturday is always great, the rooftop dance is fantastic and sells out every year, but other than the cruise on Friday night there’s not an awful lot to do. We wanted to round it out and have something that will be a fun night, with socializing and playing games. We hope to turn it into an annual event.” Cutler believes this gives the event a more universal appeal.
“We’re open to everybody,” he said. The funds raised during the casino night will go towards a number of charities, and will provide two $500 bursaries to L.V. Rogers high school graduates planning to pursue an education from a post-secondary trades program. The rooftop dance at the parkade, which is scheduled for Saturday night, is one of the most popular events. Organizers warned that it has sold out every year. Organizers are encouraging locals to buy their tickets ahead of time for the party. This year classic rockers Eddy and the Stingrays will be providing live entertainment. DVDs of the weekend’s events are available for purchase. The Road Kings suggest you pre-order them through their website nelsonroadkings.com For more information email info@nelsonroadking.com

Take Me to the Water It has been one year since the City unveiled ‘Stores to Shores’, an initiative to create a vibrant pedestrian connection between Baker Street and Lakefront. Where is the project today?
Every good waterfront city has a pedestrian friendly street that connects the city center to the waterfront. Barcelona has its world famous Las Ramblas. Closer to home, Victoria has the attractive Lower Johnston Street. Nelson has... wait a minute, where the %&*# is Nelson’s vibrant, pedestrian friendly street connecting the downtown to our waterfront? There isn’t one, but there soon will be... The Hall Street Corridor, when complete, will link the commercial and cultural epicenter of Nelson (Baker Street) to one of our greatest natural resources (Kootenay Lake). Aptly nicknamed Stores to Shores, the transformation of Hall Street is set to commence this Fall. The design, by MMM Group in Kelowna, fortifies our pedestrian network with improved sidewalks, seating, signage, landscaping and bike lanes. A new urban plaza at Baker and Hall will attract outdoor events and informal gatherings. Zoning and bylaw amendments will steer new development on Hall toward street level retail, restaurants and cultural venues. Traffic studies have informed key changes to vehicular movement and improved parking. At the water’s edge, a park and ghat-like steps invite you to dip your toes into the lake. The City of Nelson website is a good resource for anyone interested in the finer details of the project. Why is Stores to Shores the most important project in Nelson since the 1980s? LeCorbusier, a Swiss-French architect and town planner, was fond of comparing urban form to the human body. He proposed that a town is a vibrant, healthy organism only when its various ‘organs’ (the brain is the institutional buildings, the circulatory system is the roads, and so on) thrive in collaboration with one another. Applying this concept to Nelson, we see a pumping heart (Baker Street) and expansive lungs (Lakeside Park), but the two are not connected. This is an unhealthy situation in body and town alike. Great yogis tell us that the key to physical health is a strong and flexible spine. Hall Street, once transformed, will be Nelson’s spine - vitally connecting the urban and natural domains of this city, while encompassing notable sites such as the Nelson & District Community Complex and the proposed Nelson Commons. “This is the next phase of our community”. Councillor Deb Kozak is passionate about the project and, after years of planning and public consultation, is delighted to see it become a reality. Phase 1, the urban plaza at Baker and Hall, begins
construction in September. Councillor Kozak acknowledges the importance of this phase, noting that “it will generate the enthusiasm needed to see the entire project through to completion.” Asked about the significance of an urban plaza in Nelson, the city’s first, Councillor Kozak proudly states: “We’re a performance community”. She speaks fondly of the venues and events that have provided a stage for local talent and recognizes the role of good urban design to do the same. Stores to Shores is good for Nelson’s business community too. Improving vehicular access and parking, densifying the downtown with local residents, creating an inviting environment for tourists, zoning that encourages a mix of uses, and connecting major public sites - these hallmarks of urban design attract people to a street. As Baker Street can attest, where there are people, local businesses tend to thrive. The benefits to the business community and to our city will not result in higher taxes. Colin McClure, Nelson’s Chief Financial Officer, points out that the project will be entirely funded from reserves in the City’s budget for infrastructure and public works. These include the Fortis reserve, the Water License reserve, and the Community Works Fund. The 1980s was a time of renaissance in Nelson. The resurrection of Baker Street in that decade provided this city with its distinct character - a new identity to transition it from a resource based economy to an attractive town rooted in the arts, culture and tourism. Like a branch from a tree whose seed was planted 30 years ago, the Hall Street Corridor resumes Nelson’s transformation. “The work that was done in the 80s was bold. We need that kind of energy in our city planning today. This is no time to rest on our laurels.” Councillor Kozak’s words are optimistic, yet cautionary. Cities are not static forms, they are evolving processes. Nelson is transcending its infant years as a town based in arts and tourism. Projects like the Hall Street Corridor guide this city toward a mature, sophisticated urban form.

Spirit Festival celebrates mindful living in the Kootenays By: Will Johnson Nelson is hosting its first ever Kootenay Spirit Festival, a yoga-centric weekend event that aims to help residents explore their body, mind and spirit from September 12-14.
Prakriti’s music is intended for listening and contemplation, but other concerts throughout the weekend will encourage singing, dancing and wild abandon, said Wilson.
“Expect to see a lot of people with yoga mats crisscrossing all over town,” said festival coordinator Trisha Wilson. “Well, even more than usual.”
On Saturday there will be a free community event at Lakeside Park from 3:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. with familyfriendly yoga, a hula hooping workshop and concerts by John de Kadt, Sparrow Grace and Buckman Coe.
Workshops will be held in a variety of yoga studios and venues. Participants can choose their classes and move from one venue to the next. All levels of classes are offered, and no experience is required.
“Those up for a late night dance party can head over to Spiritbar for DJ Emma Star and Desert Dwellers on Saturday,” said Wilson.
On Saturday local and visiting teachers are offering workshops on subjects ranging from meditation, yoga, dance, Ayurveda, shamanism and more from 8 a.m until late evening.
Those tickets are available separately from the Hume Hotel.
“The general concept is to bring together yoga, music, dance and meditation,” she said. “We believe the vibrant community of Nelson is the perfect place to celebrate connection with nature, self and each other.”
“All of the visiting yoga presenters offer classes on that day as well as a medicine wheel workshop with Duncan Grady, dance church with Bernice Raabis and a panel discussion,” said Wilson.
Wilson said the festival includes something for everyone.
One of the closing events is a kirtan concert with Sat Purkh Kaur.
“Top presenters, teachers and musicians will guide us through a spirit-lifting weekend of workshops and concerts. Explore tree pose, learn about Ayurveda, dance your heart out and find inner balance. Spirit Fest celebrates mindful living in the Kootenays.” The festival will open with a blessing from local healer Rosalyn Grady on Friday (September 12), which will be followed by an evening concert by classical Indian fusion band Prakriti at the United Church. “We wanted something that represented yoga’s roots and traditions,” said Wilson. “The music of Prakriti creates a link back to the ancient traditions while also carrying us forward on our present day journey.”
On Sunday a full day of workshops will be held at the Prestige from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
“This is the first year of the festival and we are thrilled to feel the Kootenay community coming together to create what we hope will be an annual event,” said Wilson. General admission to the festival is $168. The Friday night opening concert is $23. A Saturday or Sunday day pass is $85. For more information visit kootenayspiritfestival.ca.

Coyote headlines storytelling event
By: Will Johnson
Festival lands first international act with Japanese performer Avia Moore believes a good storyteller is someone who engages their audience on a variety of levels. “When you’re in the presence of a good storyteller, you can feel that they have the room in the palm of their hand,” said Moore, the organizer of this year’s Kootenay Storytelling Festival. “They do that through the stories they choose to tell, the style they choose to tell it in. The good ones draw you in mentally, spiritually, emotionally.” The festival, which runs from September 18 to 21, will feature a huge variety of entertainers. Moore said she’s thrilled to have BC writer Ivan E. Coyote as a headliner on Thursday night. “I think Ivan is an amazing author and a phenomenal storyteller,” said Moore. “The first time I called them about coming to the festival, they had me in stitches on the phone describing the performance they were going to do.” (Coyote does not believe in a gender binary and chooses to identify with gender-neutral pronouns such as “they” and “them” rather than “he” or “she”.) Coyote’s pieces will be underscored by original compositions from musician Jon Wood. “The story we’re featuring is called ‘Kraft Singles for Everyone’. I don’t want to give away the punchline, but it starts out talking about their aging grandmother and then we have some Kraft singles that may or may not have the plastic left on them for
grilled cheese sandwiches.” Moore said Coyote is capable of sharing a vulnerability that will help stimulate self-reflection in the audience. “It takes a lot of courage to tell personal stories, to open up and bring humour to it. It really sets them apart. They are so versatile, I find them really engaged. There’s a stage personality that seems to appeal to a wide cross-section of people.” Moore said Coyote’s performance isn’t appropriate for children, but a number of the acts over the course of the weekend are specifically aimed at a younger demographic. “Ann Glover is always so well received. Last year she told her stories in English and French, which was a great way to reach out to French Canadians. Her long event was packed, we couldn’t have got another person in there.” The festival will also feature international talent, as this year Tokyo artist Masako Sueyoshi will be in attendance. “The Kootenays have such a strong Japanese history, and we haven’t
been telling those stories. I think it’s important to recognize that part of our cultural heritage,” said Moore. “When I was growing up I always felt like Japanese history was such a part of our culture, so it’s pretty great that our first international artist is from Japan.” Local storyteller Magpie Ulysses will anchor Friday night’s performance. “She is an amazing, award-winning national level performance poet. She’s got a new
piece she’s been developing over the past few years with Canada Council funding. It’s about her experience hitchhiking across Canada, and this will be the Nelson premiere of that piece,” she said. Ulysses’ poetry will be accompanied by original music composed by James Lamb. “We also have Pauline Lamb, another local musician who doesn’t perform as much anymore. It’s a really special occasion to have her, because she’s such a beloved local favourite,” she said. Other storytellers participating in this year’s festival include Mariella Bertelli, Zaccheus Jackson, Carolyn McTaggart, Joe Pierre, Richard Rowberry and Bessie Wapp. For more information visit kootenaystory.org

How does Bluetooth work? Harald Bluetooth was king of Denmark in the late 900s. He managed to unite Denmark and part of Norway into a single kingdom which soon introduced Christianity. He left a large monument, the Jelling rune stone, in memory of his parents. He was killed in 986 during a battle with his son, Svend Forkbeard. The idea of this name was proposed in 1997 by Jim Kardach who developed a system that would allow mobile phones to communicate with computers. At the time of this proposal he was reading Frans G. Bengtsson’s historical novel The Long Ships about Vikings and King Harald Bluetooth.
The implication is that Bluetooth does the same with communications protocols, uniting them into one universal standard.
can be sure that the message received is the same as the message sent. Bluetooth networking transmits data via low-power radio waves. It communicates on a frequency of 2.45 gigahertz an can connect up to eight devices simultaneously.
Bluetooth takes small-area networking to the next level - it is essentially a networking standard that works at two levels. 1) It provides agreement at the physical level (Bluetooth is a radio-frequency standard) and 2) it provides agreement at the protocol level, where products have to agree on when bits are sent, how many will be sent at a time, and how the parties in a conversation
When Bluetooth-capable devices come within range of one another, an electronic conversation takes place to determine whether they have data to share or whether one needs to control the other. The user doesn’t have to press a button or give a command, this happens automatically. Once the conversation has occurred, the devices form a network that allows the devices to communicate.

Cheers!
Here’s to you for another amazing summer for the craft brewers of BC. It was gang busters!
Not a summer seasonal listing rather a one time 1,000 case run is how much we brewed, and we are sold out in the brewery. So if you see a Hooligan on the shelf grab it before its all gone.
The Nelson Brewing Company broke all its sales records this summer season and we are not alone in BC for craft beer success. That means more money than ever from the sale of beer has stayed in the local economy.
CANNERY BREWING SKAHA SUMMER ALE
Nice job you, you did awesome and all while drinking beer, high five. One of the staples for sales this time of year are the summer seasonal listings. Beer that we can brew and sell from May 15 to October 15. This month we’ll look at those tasty, easy drinking beers that pair perfectly with beach, BBQs and sunshine. NELSON BREWING COMPANY HOOLIGAN ORGANIC PILSNER Brewmaster Mike Kelly went all out for this delicious lager. Normally six weeks in the conditioning tank would be good for a Pilsner but Mike (or Dr. Funktastic as he forces the staff to call him) wanted the crisp refreshing Pilsner flavour that is added by long stays at cold temperatures in our conditioning tanks. This beer had to chill for no less then 10 weeks.
Cannery is hands down one of the best kept secrets in the province, their slogan is perfect “Small Brewery, Big Flavour!”. Their Blackberry Porter is one of the better porters in the province and they hit another home run with this blonde! Refreshing and thirst quenching pop into your head while sipping away. It’s interesting and a bit risky but they actually use different hops every year to mix things up. Only 20 IBU with a crisp dry finish, that’s thanks in large part to the usage of white wheat malt. If you are saying goodbye to summer this September, this is a great beer for the cooler. PARALLEL 49 TRICYCLE RADLER There has been some debate in the brewing community the past while on whether radlers are actually beers or not? Normally radlers are simple
light beers that are mixed about half and half with juice, much like a Shandy. Whether it’s a beer or not they can taste pretty dang good on a hot summer day. The big selling feature to many is the low Alc.Vol they can come in at, usually 2.5-3.5 per cent. The Parallel 49 version that is new to their line up this year uses a nice tart grapefruit juice rather then a sweet juice giving it a nice little snap. By far the most present flavour is of course that of the grapefruit juice. If that’s what you like to wet your whistle with at 3.5 per cent Vol.Alc you’ll be able to have a few of these at the lake and still be able to get on the old paddle board... maybe. One thing all these beers have in common is that like summer their days are numbered. So enjoy cracking a fresh cold BC craft Beer this September, you deserve it, you awesome craft Beer loving, sun worshiping, camp fire admiring, slender slab of humanity you!

In rhythm with the seasons When we attended our first ever summer solstice celebration at Summerhill Pyramid Winery in June we really had no idea what to expect. The first part wasn’t much of a surprise—yoga-based talk and movement in the cool, subtly lit pyramid. Next up was a potluck supper that we passed on, because being five hours from home we weren’t in a position to prepare anything and didn’t want to show up empty-handed. So we dined in the Sunset Organic Bistro, then headed down to the kekuli, a pit house constructed with the help of local First Nations people. Deceptively spacious inside, the kekuli is a dome-shaped construction of logs that is covered with soil that provides the base for a now thick covering of indigenous plants. A blanket-covered entrance gives way to a circular meeting space and a roaring fire in the centre of the room vented through a hole in the ceiling. We took our seats and were soon caught up in the beat of dozen or so drums of all sorts, the rhythmic pounding feeling very organic and pleasurable. Suddenly our attention was drawn toward the fire, where two men were crouched, reaching toward the flames. I stood and shifted my position to get a better look and it became evident that they were inverting empty one-litre sealer jars to capture smoke from the fire. Lids were quickly screwed on while the jars were held upside-down and then the men returned to a table near the building’s sidewall. Again I moved to improve my vantage point and witnessed each jar of smoke being quickly and carefully filled with a clear liquid before being resealed. Welcome to the world of modern mixology, Gerry Jobe style.
“In my life, I’ve had a big change and am suddenly surrounded by energy workers, philosophers, alternative spirituality,” Jobe says. “I realized that it’s time for me to learn that language and immerse myself in the study and practice of energy, and integrate this healing and knowledge into my life. I’ve been exposed to all these new ingredients and the effect they have on the body and on mood. Story has always been a big part of my cocktails, but now energy and spirituality are part of that story. Summerhill is a playground, allowing me to deepen my art. We are using ingredients like wild-crafted medicinal herbs and organic wines, and techniques like aging syrups in the pyramid, Tibetan singing bowls, intentionality and biodynamic rhythms. I don’t want to be a ‘mad scientist’ anymore. I want to be a warlock, working with nature and energy.” On a recent return visit to Summerhill I ordered a cocktail, Lithia’s Rhythm, before dinner. Jobe’s description: “Foraged chokecherry blossoms were reduced in a simple syrup then smoked over the fire during the summer solstice drum circle in the kekuli. Placed around the kekuli fire, vessels of this reduction were influenced by the rhythm of drumming and dancing, and treated with energy work and quartz. We combine this reduction with our organic Pinot Gris, lemon and Woodford Reserve Bourbon to offer you this experience of the summer solstice in a refreshing cocktail. Named after Lithia, the goddess of the summer solstice.” It was exactly as advertised. Refreshing. But I was surprised to truly enjoy the combination that included wine and bourbon. Nothing about it seemed forced or meant to show off. Subtle and satisfying is how I would describe it. Several other original cocktails are joined on the new menu by Jobe’s reinterpretations of classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned (Soul Fashioned), Negroni (Merloni) and Boulevardier (Hillavardier). When I set foot on the property at Summerhill Pyramid Winery I am never disappointed, and most often surprised. The new drinks menu continues that trend. The last word goes to Jobe: “This is the start of a journey. I want to celebrate the land and the history and create something beautiful.”
Eventually, I learned that Jobe was creating a mixed drinks program for the Bistro, Summerhill recently having been granted a full liquor license. Back to the smoke-filled jars. The liquid poured into them was a simple syrup (water-sugar mixture) that was infused with chokecherry blossoms from the Summerhill property. The

filled jars were placed in a semi-circle around the fire and then a Reiki practitioner used her hands to energize the jars while Jobe held a crystal wand over them.
