Community-built playground
Central School has a new playground for students to enjoy. Parents of Wildflower School, which is housed in the building, took the leadership on design and additional fund raising after the School District let them know that some playground upgrade funding was available. The previous equipment was aging wood and inadequate to the needs of current students. Students are expected to be using the equipment Monday, Sept. 16 after the concrete footings have had a chance to cure.

Minor slides cause murky water in Slocan RiverThe Regional District of
Central Kootenay has inves-tigated reports of extremely high sedimentation and discoloration in Gwillim Creek and the Slocan River, following an intense rain storm on Friday. An assess-ment of Gwillim Creek and Mulvey Creek by helicop-ter this afternoon identified mud slides on both creeks
which have contributed to the discoloration of the Slocan River. The slides have not blocked the creeks and water is currently flow-ing freely through the slide areas.
It is anticipated that it may take a number of days for the sedimentation to diminish in both creeks and the Slocan River. Users on
the Slocan community water system are requested to con-serve water in the coming days, even after the water has cleared. Residents who draw their water from the Slocan River should also be aware of the increased tur-bidity levels.
There are no threats to infrastructure or public safety as a result of these
slides. However, residents are reminded to be obser-vant for discoloration and/or extreme fluctuations in water levels during and after significant rain events as these can be indicators of potentially dangerous slides or debris flows on rivers and streams. www.rdck.bc.ca

The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) is reissuing the WATER QUALITY ADVISORY on the Riondel system due to recent sampling results indi-cating the presence of small levels of total coliforms.
While health risks are
now considered low, the RDCK and Interior Health recommend that children, the elderly, people with weakened immune sys-tems, and anyone seeking additional protection drink boiled water or a safe alter-native until further notice.
For these at-risk popula-tions, water intended for drinking, washing fruits or vegetables, making bev-erages or ice, or brushing teeth should be boiled for one minute.
We appreciate water users’ cooperation and
patience as we continue to monitor this situation and serve our residents’ needs.
If you have any ques-tions please contact the RDCK at 250-352-6665 or check out our website at www.rdck.bc.ca

Nelson champ helps War AmpsThe War Amps float in
Penticton’s recent Peach Festival Parade passed on the vital PLAYSAFE/DRIVESAFE message, but also commemorated a special milestone for the Association – its 95th anni-versary.
Fraser Packham, 8, of Nelson, was born a left arm amputee. He rode on board the float with his fellow Champs.
The colourful, animated float is specially designed to capture the attention of chil-
dren, with ASTAR, the gold robot from Planet Danger, reminding them that he can put his arm back on but they can’t. To further rein-force the message, CHAMP Ambassadors shout out the PLAYSAFE message to kids and the DRIVESAFE message to adults along the parade route.
For PLAYSAFE infor-mation or resources, call 1-800-250-3030 or visitwww.waramps.ca

FlowersTo the officers, for the
times I have noticed you driving very professionally with acute awareness of the road and all the common dis-tractions of lively Nelson. I have seen you recently pull over in unsuspecting places to produce a cell phone and commence a text message. Thank you for doing that. Lead by example.

pick their ripening fruit and share with humans, and not endanger the bears, thank you.

FlowersThanks to the lady who
grabbed my run-a-way Brittany Spaniel and the fel-lows who tried to help just outside the doggie park. It takes a community to keep our pets safe. And Nelson does have one of the nicest doggie parks that we have been too.

Fish HeadsDog owners who think
it is their and their dogs right to walk their dogs off leash, allowing them to come up to people smell-ing and growling and then telling the scared walker “they won’t bite, it’s OK” You are giving responsible dog walkers a bad rap. Not everyone loves your dog. How do you know who has been traumatized in the past by a loose dog! At least have the consid-eration to control your dog by your side or leash then when someone is about to walk by.

CommunityNewsFree volunteer training for women
The Nelson and District Women’s Centre’s free vol-unteer training program, Rooted in Community, offers local and area women the opportunity to build strengths, gain valu-able skills, and contribute their time and energy as volunteers in their commu-nities. Offered twice a year at the Women’s Centre, the program consists of eight sessions of 2.5 hours, tak-ing place over a one-month period on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and will begin on October 1.
During the program, participants are taught how to be effective volunteers while learning about com-munity resources and build-
ing active listening and peer counselling skills. In addition to practical skills, women gain confidence and become empowered as they share life experiences with the group, and build a stron-ger sense of community.
Rooted in Community is especially beneficial to women who may be feel-ing isolated or disconnected, women who are new to the area and wish to get to know their community and make friends, or women with bar-riers to full employment seeking transferable skills to enhance their resume and job prospects. The program also benefits Nelson and the sur-rounding area by providing thoroughly-trained, knowl-

Nelson City Police news: threats, scams, and counterfeitOn Wednesday,
September 4 at approx. 1:30 p.m. two patrons of the Nelson and District Community Centre returned to the men’s change room after working out to find the locks on their lockers had been cut by bolt cut-ters. The matter is cur-rently under investigation and the public is requested to report any suspicious activity to both NDCC staff and the Nelson Police Department.
On Wednesdaym September 4, at approxi-mately 6 p.m. an intoxi-cated male was arrested in the 700 block of Front Street. The 34 year old male allegedly approached a female who was seated in a parked vehicle and waved a knife at her. The male faces charges of Possession of a Weapon for Dangerous Purpose, Uttering Threats and four counts of Breach of Probation.
On Thursday, September 5, at approxi-mately 3:42 p.m. a 14 year
old cyclist was struck by a vehicle at the intersection of Hendryx and Mill Street. The cyclist was not wear-ing a helmet and did not heed a stop sign. No seri-ous injuries resulted but the cycling public is reminded that helmets are mandatory in British Columbia.
The Nelson Police Department has received numerous reports of coun-terfeit U.S bills in the past few days. Merchants are reminded to be diligent with all currency and make staff aware of all the secu-rity features present in both U.S and Canadian curren-cy. These recent counterfeit U.S bills have been 50 and 100 dollar denominations.
Nelson Police have become aware that resi-dents of Nelson and area are becoming involved in what is being referred to as a Women’s Circle. The Circle requires women to provide a $5000 gift to another woman in the cir-cle. Eventually the first women will move to a dif-
ferent level in the Circle and where she is prom-ised a gift herself. This gift is anticipated to be much larger than the gift originally given. Although those behind the Women’s Circle claim it is not a hier-archy or pyramid, it is. The only way for individuals to receive gifts greater than what they are contribut-ing is through the loss of others in “Circle.” There is no new money created in the Circle, it is sim-ply a fraud that allows the original recruiters to take money from the new mem-bers. Eventually when no new recruits come into the Circle, the gifters will have lost their money. Pyramid schemes are illegal under section 206 (1) (e) of the Criminal Code and Competition’s Act. Income received from the scheme must also be declared with Canada Revenue and could result in tax evasion charges if not declared. If you have been victim to this fraud, please con-
tact Nelson Police, your local RCMP department or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501
On Monday, September 9, a young cou-ple heading to Red Sands beach was confronted by a male who immediately began to yell and threaten them for being down there. The couple tried to keep their distance but the 59 year old male known to the Nelson Police continued his tirade, threatening the couple and throwing rocks at them. When the male backed away for a moment they managed to flee the area unharmed and call the Nelson Police to report this incident. An excellent description of the offender was given which allowed Nelson Police members to locate him a short dis-tance away. The male will appear in court in Nelson to answer to charges of uttering threats and assault with a weapon.

House&HomeGarage doors
You neighbour is right. For about the past 20 years any door that connects a garage to a living area should come equipped with a self-closing arm (like you see on commercial doors) or a set of self-closing spring loaded hinges. This has been mandated by the Building Code after a series of very unfortunate acci-dental deaths from carbon monoxide poison. It was not unusual “back in the day” during winter months
to warm up a family car in the garage before heading out. Several sleeping peo-ple including some chil-dren died in these untime-ly accidents because the exhaust entered the home through the open interior door between the garage and living areas.
Your door may be equipped with these spring-loaded hinges but the spring tension may need to be tightened. You will recog-nize a spring-loaded hinge because it is bulky than a
conventional hinge. It will have a small
alan key adjustment or a small bicycle style chain link that can be tightened. If this set of hinges is missing consider replacing at least two of the existing hinges on this door with these self-closing hinges or install a commercial self-closure on the top leading edge of the door. Both of these hardware items are readily available at build-ing supply stores.
It is also considered
good practice (and a build-ing code requirement) to make sure there are no cracks, gaps or unsealed joints in the wall finishes on the garage side of a wall that separates this space from your home.
Carbon monoxide can seep through gaps, open seams and cracks. So ensure this door has self-closing hinges or a self-closure and seal any cracks, gaps or openings in the demising wall between your garage and your home.
I own a home in a subdivision in Castlegar. These houses were all built about 14 years ago. They all have attached garages with interior doors from the garages to the main floors of the homes. In my neighbours’ house these doors between the garages and the houses all close automatically after you have come through them. My door stays open. A neighbour told me these doors are supposed to close for safety reasons. What’s this about?Home Front by Bill Lynch,

A few years a city tram went off its track and hit a utility pole at Lakeside Park causing an electri-cal wire to fall onto the street. A witness to the incident asked what would have happened if the wire had landed on the tram or a nearby car. Would the passengers have been elec-trocuted?
If a power line landed on a car, the electricity
would travel through the metal frame of the car but the car’s tires would pre-vent at least most of the electricity from reaching ground. The occupants of the car would remain safe as long as they stayed in the car because most of the electricity has nowhere to go. If, however, an occupant tried to get out of the car and made contact with both the car and the ground, their body would become another circuit for the electricity to reach
ground and they would be electrocuted. (Note: Some car tires have steel belts in them, allowing the elec-tricity to flow through the tires and into the ground. It is still safer, even in this situation, to remain in the car because the ground around the car may become energized.)
In the case of the tram, the steel would provide a low resistance path to ground, essentially short cir-cuiting the power line, and cause fuses along the power
line to blow. If, for some reason, the fuses failed to function properly and the line remained live, just as for passengers inside a car with steel-belted tires, tram passengers would be safer remaining inside.
When I spoke to Russell Leslie, General Manager of Nelson Hydro, he advised to stay at least 10 metres away from any downed power line and to remain in your car (or tram) until someone from Nelson Hydro advises you it is safe to get out!
Dr. Science is in real life, Dr. Christine Humphries, a molecular biologist
could a downed power line be dangerous for tram’s or car’s passengers?

the Friends of the Nelson municipal Library will be holding their annual book sale in the eve-ning of Friday, October 25 and Saturday 26. Donations of lightly used fiction books will be accepted by library staff until October 5.
Nelson artist and writ-er Susan Andrews Grace will present her new body of work in the exhibition Underwritten at Touchstones Nelson from September 21 to November 17. The exhi-bition explores the sacred-ness life on earth, and fea-tures textile-based print-making, collage, sculpture and installation. Grace con-templates the “language of the earth’s beauty” through forms that echo the paths of insects etched in wood and the amorphous shapes in clouds.
Grace’s collages of printed and dyed silk result in vibrant yet subtle fields of colour and abstract ges-tures. Underlying the beau-ty of her work is her in-depth research into Charles Darwin’s discoveries about the actions of worms, and the classic book on Christian mysticism called The Cloud of Unknowing. While some of her work
refers to religious iconog-raphy, she infuses it with her own earth-based imag-ery.
Lynn Dragone will open the exhibition at 7 p.m. sharp on Friday Sept. 20 with an unfolding movement ritual, presented through the cal-ligraphic art form of “Big Brush”, which expresses birth, life and death, in one stroke. Dragone will also offer a Moving with the Big Brush: Calligraphy and Movement workshop, on Saturday October 26 from 1-4 p.m. at the Shambhala Meditation Center, 444 Baker St. The fee is $50 or $35 for members. Register through [email protected] or call Lynn at 250-352-1964.

It was a hard fought three-way race as the polls closed and the votes were counted—and the suspense was palpable. In fact, the process was almost as suspenseful as the plot of this year’s One Book, One Kootenay selection. Confined Space by Deryn Collier (Simon & Schuster, 2012) is this year’s One Book, One Kootenay offi-cial selection.
Confined Space is a locally written mystery with universal appeal. The characters feel real, the plot is believable and readers don’t need to live in the Kootenays to picture the novel’s setting of Kootenay Landing. Collier will read from Confined Space and

Not only does he drop the freshest remixes from
some of the other great producers in the electronic music scene (Datsik, Mr. Carmack, Downlink), but also his own produced tunes get recognition across the board.

Arts&entertainmentNelson At War exhibit at Touchstones NelsonSaturday, Sept. 14 to Sunday, Nov. 24, Touchstones Nelson: Museum of Art and History
It’s 1942, and Canada is at war. If you were on Baker Street, standing in front of what is now Coldwell Banker, instead of real estate listings you may well have seen in the window photos of over 160 young people (mostly men) who were serving in the military. Then it was the Wood Valance Hardware Store, and the display was intended to spur the sale of Victory Bonds in support of the war effort. That num-ber would have been just a small portion of the nearly 1000 Nelson and district men and women that would be sent to the forces by the end of 1943.
Food, liquor and tires were being rationed, and people anxiously read the paper or listened to the radio for the latest news of the war in Europe. Nearby, a series of internment camps
had recently been set up in neighbouring communities to house Canadian citizens of Japanese descent who had been forcibly removed from their homes in the Lower Mainland and other coastal communities.
Nelson At War will offer a glimpse into Nelson’s involvement in World Wars I and II, as well as the Boer War. The exhibit will feature historic pho-tos and newsclippings from the Touchstones Nelson Archives, as well as arti-facts from the Permanent Collection, such as a scale model of the HMS Formidable, the aircraft car-rier from which Hampton Gray flew his final ill-fated mission in the dying hours of WWII.
The exhibit will run from Saturday, September 14 to Sunday, November 24. The gallery will also be

On Friday, September 20 the Kootenay Gallery will be joining in the celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the Craft Council of British Columbia with an exhibi-tion of contemporary craft. The eleven artists chosen to participate in this exhibi-tion live and work in the Columbia Basin and repre-sent the practices of wood-working, jewelry, metal-work, glass and ceramics.
The exhibition is titled Invested: 10,000 Hours as this concept is seen as a
marker for attaining exper-tise or mastery in a particu-lar practice. Curator Helen Sebelius has built an exhi-bition that will celebrate and demonstrate the artists’ dedication to their creative process, their approach to their chosen medium and the wide range of traditional and non- traditional uses of these mediums.

Arts&entertainmentAlexis Normand’s bilingual folk showMonday, Sept. 23, 8 p.m. at Expressions Cafe, 554 Ward St
Fransaskoise art-ist, Alexis Normand is an accomplished sing-er-songwriter from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan whose music features a melange of folk and jazz. Following a 5-year stint in Ontario to complete a degree in music educa-tion, she attended lʼEcole Nationale de la Chanson de Granby - a school for francophone singer-song-writers where she worked with some of Quebecʼs most renowned artists and musicians.
Since her return home to Saskatoon in 2008, she
has pursued her music career with performanc-es across the country. In 2010, she released an EP that was warmly received by radio stations across Canada garnering atten-tion from fans and crit-ics. In January 2012 she won Radio-Canada Saskatchewanʼs Contest called Fais-moi une chan-son (Write me a song). Co-written with Shawn Jobin, the winning song has become the official theme of the provincial year of the Fransaskois 2012.
Audiences will enjoy an intimate, bilingual,
family-friendly show of approximately 90 min-utes. Booklets with lyrics translated from French to English will be available. The music is a groovy set with songs from MIRADOR, original jazz-folk, and a few cover songs such as Faith by George Michael, Twisted by Joni Mitchell and Straighten Up and Fly Right by Nat King Cole.
Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at Expressions cafe, 554 Ward st or by call-ing 250-354-3910. www.alexisnormand.ca

S a s k a t c h e w a n Songwriters Saskia and Darrel; (aka) The Great Plains, performing in Nelson on Saturday, September 21, at Expressions Cafe.
Saskia & Darrel have a new band name; “The Great Plains” and they didn’t acquire this moni-ker lightly. Looking at a map one day, they realized that the area where they perform most of the time falls within this geographic designation, so as the old saying goes; “if the shoe fits, wear it!”
But Darrel spent his first 17 years on the north-ern prairies, while Saskia’s lineage is from generations of flat-land Dutchmen, so something about wide vis-
tas and big-sky landscapes infuses their art and inspires their writings. Although these two popular song-writers call Saskatchewan their home now, they are being claimed by many provinces in Canada and countries in Europe as their own. They play well over 160 dates a year and the other half of the year they are in the Comox Valley, on Vancouver island, where they sport a little condo and work at booking and marketing their next tours.
Be sure to catch their Nelson debut. Tickets are $12 and can be purchased at 554 Ward St or by call-ing 250-354-3910.www.thegreatplains.ca

concerts. Grant’s intuitive ability to express emotion has helped to define her as one of Canada’s pre-miere vocalists.
A Juno nominee, she has released four albums to date, beginning with Orchestra To The Moon in 2007. Her most recent, and first US released record, The Beautiful Wild, won the 2013 ECMA POP Recording of the year. On this album, her prismatic, iridescent voice sparkles over adventurous layers of harp, sitar and flute.
Don’t miss her show on Tuesday Oct. 8 at 10 p.m., opening up for Ron Sexsmith at the Spirit Bar.

Freedom of expres-sion is a right we
have here in Canada, and in the City of Nelson. No one will argue against that one of the roles of govern-ment, is to ensure people have reasonable access to share information with others. Our city, in various ways has done the oppo-site.
Posters are a tradition-al form of communication in society; it doesn’t mat-ter if the poster is for a lost kitty, musical event, or sale at the store. We hang posters to promote Expression’s events. We used to have four pub-lic places to hang posters, but in the last little while we’ve lost two of them. Now we have the one on
the corner of Kootenay and Baker and one at the Ward Street bus stop.
The legal alterna-tive to designated poster spots, are telephone poles and other public proper-ty. Some years ago The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that municipalities do not have the right to make blanket laws against the hanging of posters on public property. They did insinuate if there were sufficient municipality-installed posters boards, the municipality could say no posters on public property. I challenge the Nelson City Councilors to begin establishing many more poster-hanging places with reasonable guidelines. Please, City of Nelson, be a facilitator and don’t get in the way.

you can’t do thatS o c i a l
norms dictate how a person
should act. Now these “rules” aren’t set in stone but by going out of these pre-made fictitious bound-aries you run the risk of alienating yourself from friends and co-workers. My question is: why?
If you suddenly immersed yourself in sub-ject matter that is highly illegal and horribly unethi-cal I can see the point, but shouldn’t we, as human beings, be supportive of each other regardless? I know some of the more questionable choices I’ve made have alienated me
from more family and friends then I can count but I shouldn’t have to change because of some preconceived idea of how I should be. What’s most important is to act how you want but be respectful of others beliefs and gen-eral nature.
Change is great and is a necessary part of anyone’s life. If what you consider change alienates you from your peers then it should be something they have to deal with not you. We only have so much time to be among one another so don’t sweat the small stuff and be who you want to be.

Last week’s survey responses:
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
Syrian regime cannot be allowed to gas their own people. If we, (the rest of the world) don’t stand in support of the defenseless, who will? Am I not my brother’s/sister’s keeper?
war sucks.war is never an option --- never ---
so many other options no one’s willing to look at
who likes war anyways? aside from the Syrian government.
The decision to attack should be made by a majority of the world’s nations, not by just a few.
The middle east has had ongoing con-flicts throughout time, and these need to (attempt) to be resolved themselves.
Civil war - not international war. Intervention not sanctioned by UN. Attempts to “legislate” away use of gas and poison has never worked (see Wikipedia for history of use of gas and poisons in warfare). Previously used
in several places without US inter-vention or indignation (Iraq-Iran war, recently by Syria, etc). Sweden has the right approach with opening itself to Syrian refugees as should the world. Middle east issues will not be solved by war, assuming they can be solved. West should stay out of conflicts in Islam. The USA believes itself to be the policemen of the world but have only their own interests in mind.
The politics of another country are none of the US’s business. They should clean up their own act.
Someone pointed out to me that if using chemical weapons against civil-ians was a crime in need of extreme and severe punishment, then the US should be severely punished for its use of Agent Orange in Viet Nam. There has to be a more peaceful way for the international community to express its outrage at the abuses inflicted on civil-ians in Syria. I find punishing my chil-dren is not as effective as more positive
ways of creating motivation for more positive behaviour in the future.
Time to impeach Obama and really, all the rest of our “Leaders”... leading us to death. Our governments, the inter-national bankers, and the UN need to go.
BeCauSe it is likely a part of the Middle East destabilization plan.
will only result in more violence and deaths
i am war weary and believe that this action will lead to greater instability in the Middle East. The Syrian issue will lead the US into a quagmire that they will not be able to disengage.
no, you don’t want to hear my rea-son why.
To ignore aggression encourages aggression. A targeted air attack on Syria’s ability to delivery chemical and other weapons on it’s own people will do much to calm the region.
