CBT dollars for youthColumbia Basin Trust has a new program to support youth in Basin communi-ties. Community Directed Youth Funds (CDYF) will be piloted in six communi-ties and their surrounding areas this fall. CDYF tar-gets youth ages 12-19 and will provide each area with $100,000 over four years to increase activities, oppor-tunities and services for youth. The program will be available to the remainder of the Basin over the next two years.

“The intent of Community Directed Youth Funds is to

put resources in the hands of communities so they can enhance local opportunities and meet local youth pri-orities in their regions,” said Garry Merkel, CBT Chair, Board of Directors. Merkel went on to say, “Youth are the future of the Basin and as such are an important area for CBT to be investing funds.”

Guidelines and applica-tions will be available in the fall, but those wanting to better understand the program are encouraged to call Wayne Lundeberg at 1.250.304.1625 or email [email protected] with “sub-scribe to CDYF info” in the subject line to receive pro-gram updates. -submitted

St. Saviour’s Pro-Cathedral Church TourDuring this year’s Columbia Basin Cultural Tour dis-cover one of Nelson’s Heritage jewels and enjoy the “A Cathedral Whispers” presentation on the magnificent memorial stained glass windows at St.Saviour’s Anglican Church.

The Church, located at the corner of Silica and Ward Streets, will be open Saturday August 13 from 11am to 5pm and Sunday August 14 from 1 pm till 5pm as part of the Tour. In addition to this; at 2 pm each day Local history researcher, Greg Scott, will give a half-hour presentation highlighting the people and history of the 16 memorial stained glass windows and some of the memorial plaques in the Church.

St. Saviour’s Pro-Cathedral is a by-law designated Heritage Church built in 1898 and rebuilt in 1929 after a disastrous fire. It is an excellent example of Gothic Perpendicular church architecture and its impressive size and detailing make the building a stand-out among much smaller, and very simply detailed Protestant churches. The Church is also open for self-guided tours 11 am to 3 pm Monday to Saturday inclusive, during the months of July and August. Admission is free to the daily tours, though donations are accepted and books detailing the church’s history are available. The Church is also open Sundays for regular service at 10:30 am.

ANKORS (West Kootenay Boundary AIDS Network, Outreach and Support Society) is holding Nelson’s first ever 72 Hour Art Slam as a major fundraiser this summer! An art slam is an art competition with a twist. Teams or individuals will have 72 hours to create and submit an original piece of art-work. Participants can submit a film, poetry, theatre, song, painting, sculpture, dance—any type of artist expression.

The only rules are the theme and prop (as given at the kick-off meeting) must be present in the final product, and the deadline is absolute.100% of the money raised from the event goes to supporting indi-viduals affected by HIV/AIDS, such as subsidiz-ing health care costs. However, this event also aims to join the com-munity together through art. By keeping the event parameters open, we hope to draw all dif-ferent genres of art and artists.

The competition is from August 19th to 22nd, with a Showcase event at 7pm, Friday August 26th at the Prestige Lakeside Resort. The Showcase will include a wine & cheese reception and an art silent auction. Tickets are $10-20 slid-ing scale and available at ANKORS (101 Baker Street Nelson). Contact Carmen or Brahm at ANKORS at 505.5506, aids-walk@ankors .bc .ca , or ankors.ca for more information and to reg-ister.

KSA Faculty Exhibition in Grand ForksThe next exhibition at Gallery 2 cel-ebrates contemporary craft and art created by 24 artists who teach and work at the Kootenay School of the Arts at Selkirk College in Nelson.

The Faculty and staff have dedicat-ed this exhibition to a former col-league and friend Tom Lynn. Tom was involved in the early developmental stages of the school and was instru-mental in the establishment of the school’s Metal Program.

This important exhibition reveals the diversity of ideas and materials found in the work of these art educators and the quality of art and craft produced and taught in the West Kootenay.

It will also explore the traditions behind each artist’s practice and how they transform the traditional into the contemporary.

The artists share their relationship to materials, tools and techniques, as well as the collaborative relationship that develops between mentor and student.

This exhibition entitled, Connections Materialized, will open with a recep-tion on Saturday, August 13, from1-3pm, with an opportunity for the pub-lic to meet the artists and learn about their diverse disciplines.

The exhibition will run until October 9, 2011. Gallery 2 is located at 524 Central Avenue and is open from Monday to Sunday, 9am-5pm dur-ing August and Monday to Saturday, 10am-4pm during September.

Saturday, August 13th - The Royal, 9pm The highly talented Juno winner is bringing his African rhythm & roots band to the Kootenay’s for a very special perfor-mance. You could say that the Mighty Popo is a Rwandan/Burundian refu-gee/survivor whose music is steeped in African tradi-tion, but you’d hardly be getting at the whole story

of one of Canada’s great-est rising stars.Recent history has made Rwanda and Burundi a kind of shorthand for vio-lence, chaos and geno-cide. One might think that all music, dance, laughter, civility and joie de vivre in those countries had dis-appeared into a vortex of despair. Popo – a Rwandan born in a Burundian refu-gee community – is evi-dence to the contrary. He is a person of enormous

charm, wit, resilience and, yes, joie de vivre.This is a unique oppor-tunity to see one of the world’s finest performers in a small club. Opening the show will be Kirby, a talented, upbeat and con-tagious singer-songwriter and DJ Papa Roots and his blend of funky, world rhythms. Tickets $15 available at www.liveattheroyal.com - and Royal Espresso .

SelfDesign High, 2nd Floor, Canadian Legion402 Victoria Street, Nelson BCSaturday, August 13th at 7 pm. Welcome the members of Wiñay Taki Ayllu, visiting the Kootenays this summer from the village of Pisac, in the Sacred Valley of Peru.

Wiñay Taki will share the teachings of the Andean Calendar portrayed in traditional music featuring flutes and drums.Wiñay Taki will also show a video on Kawsay Raymi, celebrating univer-

sal interconnection, reciprocity, and respect for all life. This will be fol-lowed by a slideshow on Kusi Kawsay (“Happy Life”), a Waldorf-inspired school based on traditional Andean culture. The evening will end with dance & celebration. $10 at the door. Contact 250-352-0818 for more infor-mation

The Kootenay Express UpdateBuilding Community Since 1988 554 Ward Street Nelson, BC V1L 1S9 (250) 354-3910Nelson Becker, Publisher

This week’s EXPRESS UPDATE was produced by:

Nelson BeckerRobin MurrayErica Fletcher

How did you get my email address?The emails that we use for the

Kootenay Express Update are emails of people who have done business with the Express Newspaper or are emails we have received by personal request to be on our list.

What is the purpose of the Kootenay Express Update?

The purpose of the Kootenay Express Update is to provide the service of a com-munity newspaper with such features as an events calendar, classifieds, opinions, diversions, for the greater community of Nelson and area.

How can my friends receive the Kootenay Express Update?

You can send your friends our email and they can respond with the word “subscribe”, or “newsletter” or “update”.

What is the privacy policy of The Express?

We will never share your email with anyone outside of The Express. We feel

you are part of our family.Is The Express open for Editorial

Submissions?Yes. We also want to support the non-

profits of our community and we wel-come their editorial submissions.

What happened to The Express Newspaper?

The Express Newspaper existed as a print version for 22 years, but it could no longer compete against the big cor-porations for advertising. We are com-mitted to being of community service and we are now in the process of cre-ating the Kootenay Express Update as an alternative to the print copy. There are obvious benefits to an electronic Express Newspaper. We don’t have any printing costs or post office distribution costs. There is less restriction on space. Recipients can print out the pages that they so desire. There are also some disad-vantages. Not everybody is internet con-nected. Reading off a screen is a different

experience than reading off of paper. The Express Update seems to me to

be a valuable way to publicize my busi-ness. How do I place advertising in the update?

We are still working on this because in setting a price for advertising we want to assure ourselves, and you, that you are getting the correct value for your dollars. We encourage you to get in touch with us so that we may begin this discussion with interested local businesses.

How does the Kootenay Express Update support itself?

At the moment, that’s a very good question. The Kootenay Express Update lives on a subsidy that it is receives from me, Nelson Becker. In the future, the Update will have to support itself. We are in the process of determining advertising value, as well as looking at other methods of raising the necessary funds.
