The Kutenai Art Therapy Institute (KATI) is participating in the Columbia Basin Culture Tour with an Open House, Community Art Studio and Art Show. The Open Studio will provide an opportunity for individuals and families to make art with recycled materials. This will include constructions, assemblages, collages and painting. The Art Show will include art from Art for People. Art for People donates 50% from the sale of the artwork to provide grants for art materials and equipment to projects around the world.

This years Columbia Basin Trust tour features 70 locations with everything from clay, glass, history, paintings, writ-ings, archives, and quilts. Self-directed and free of charge, the culture tour is a great opportunity to meet people behind the scenes at galleries and museums, visit studios not normally open, and shop for original art or fine crafts. For further details, check out full artist/venue profiles at www.cbculturetour.com.

CommunityNewsJuly 26 - The Emergency

Operations Centre (EOC) will lower its activation level from Level 2 to Level 1 as of this weekend and begin to focus on long-term recovery and assis-tance for Johnsons Landing residents and others affected by flooding, sloughs or landslides,

While the RDCK will remain ready to respond to emer-gencies, regional district staff and other agencies who have been working fulltime at the EOC will return to their regular duties. A recovery manager has been hired to respond to the needs of Johnsons Landing resi-

dents who are still evacuated and whose homes or property have been damaged or destroyed or who are cut off from the rest of the community by the slide. The recovery manager will coor-dinate response and recovery efforts with the RDCK’s emer-gency coordinator, geotechnical experts and other agencies.

During the 2012 freshet, the RDCK declared states of emergency in seven of its elev-en areas and in addition, the municipalities of Kaslo and Castlegar declared their own states of emergency. All dec-larations have now been lifted

except for Area D in Johnsons Landing where 14 properties remain under an evacuation order since a massive landslide hit. The slide also destroyed four homes and severely damaged two other homes.

Anyone who has expe-rienced damage to their home from flooding or landslides may be eligible for Disaster Financial Assistance (DFA). Details on how to apply for DFA are available on the Emergency Management BC website at www.pep.bc.ca. There is a 90-day deadline to apply, so anyone affected is encouraged to do so

even if they are uncertain their claim will be approved.

The RDCK could not have responded effectively to the many emergencies the region experienced this spring and summer without the immense support and help received from local communities, the provin-cial government, the Red Cross and other agencies and volun-teers who stepped forward to work countless hours on behalf of their fellow citizens. Search and Rescue, Emergency Social Services volunteers and the RCMP deserve special thanks for their efforts. -RDCK

The Nelson Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in their inves-tigation into a serious home invasion that occurred on the evening of July 26th, 2012. At approximately 10:15 pm, a Nelson resident was in his home in lower Fairview. He heard a commotion at his rear door, which included the sound of glass breaking. The male attended the back door and was confronted by a group of males. The males, some of whom were armed, assaulted the victim caus-ing significant injuries to him. The victim was able to break away from the group during the attack and ran off. The suspects left the scene in an awaiting

vehicle.The victim was taken to

KLH by a friend. Due to the serious nature of the injuries sustained by the victim, he was transported to Trail hospital for treatment.

Although the attack was extremely brutal, police do not feel that Nelson residents are at immediate risk. Based on the information that has been gleaned thus far, Nelson Police investigators believe that this was not a random attack and that the victim was known to his attackers.

Police are disturbed by the seriousness of the assault, as well as the time and place of this incident.

Flooding emergencies become long-term recovery

MLA Michelle Mungall is asking the people of the Nelson-Creston Constituency to help choose recipients of the presti-gious Queens Diamond Jubilee Medals. Mungall has been tasked with nominating four individuals to receive a Medal.

“To receive one of these Medals is a great honour” says Mungall “it is important to me that members of our communi-ties have the opportunity to reflect on the reign of Queen

Elizabeth as well as recognize the contributions of their peers.”

The process Mungall has developed to collect community input involves three stages. In the first stage anyone can nomi-nate a member of their commu-nity by filling out a nomination form. Next a selection com-mittee representing all regions of the constituency will review the nominations and create a shortlist of nominees. These shortlisted candidates will be

posted on Mungall’s website for an online vote to determine the Medal nominees to the Queen’s Section Committee.

Nominations will be accepted by mail or email from August 1 -31. Nomination forms can be downloaded from www.michellemungall.com or picked up from locations all across the Nelson-Creston constituency. Online vot-ing will take place September 10- 21. Anyone with questions

about the process can contact Mungall’s Community office at 1-877-388-4498.

Speaking to the democratic nature of the process, Mungall encourages everyone to get involved. “I want everyone to have the opportunity to rec-ognize their friends and neigh-bours that are doing amazing work to make our communities great.”

Northern Trail, formerly the Burlington Northern Santa Fe right of way, is now opened from Salmo to Seloux Creek and from the Ravine Trestle to Troup. The trail remains closed from Seloux Bridge to Ravine Trestle due to con-

struction.The previous closures

were due to a slide that occures as well as to pre-vent encounters with grizzly bears.

The closure from Seloux Bridge to Ravine Trestle is due to the remediation work

being completed on the Ravine Trestle. The closure will be intermittent through-out the months of July and August to accommodate Yellowhead Road & Bridge (Kootenay) Ltd. crews mov-ing trucks and equipment within the trail section and

construction of the trestle. It is anticipated that the Ravine trestle will be completed by early September.

Science & Technology: G3 Mechanical Engineeringpaying attention to bio-mechanical func-tions such as how forces and torques will be transferred between body parts and the binding and vice versa, par-ticularly, as this relates to minimizing the probability of injury to the skier.

The process of designing a binding is very innovative and creative in terms of coming up with the initial concept, but there is always room for creative input at every step of the way through the design and test process in terms of choosing materials, modes of part inter-action, geometrical fits, leverage ratios and also the aesthetic look of the over-all system. Cam uses 3-Dimensional mechanical modeling software that aids in determining the overall geometry of the binding assembly, and how the parts move with respect to each other. In addition, Finite Element Analysis software permits stresses, strains, torques and forces to be computed. After the initial design is completed then proto-type testing is undertaken at an in-house lab, or sometimes at foreign research labs. This is followed by ski testing by staff and selected expert skiers. Any problems that are encoun-tered are addressed, and finally produc-tion manufacturing occurs, followed up

by marketing and sales. The whole process takes about two years.

Because Genuine Guide Gear is a small company, Cam gets to undertake a wide range of mechanical engineer-ing activities within the company, and he finds that many of the computa-tional skills he developed at school are used on a daily basis. This is not

always the case in engineering. Cam’s advice for young people looking into different career possibilities is that “40 hours is a long time (per week), so do something you care about and are interested in.” For Cam, he does like Mechanical Engineering, but the real joy is in designing and making things he is interested in using himself.

Did you know that an employee of Genuine Guide Gear (www.genuinegui-degear.com), a backcountry skiing hard goods manufacturer, works in Nelson? Well, his name is Cam Shute, and he comes equipped with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Alberta, and a Master’s Degree in Bio-Mechanical Engineering from UBC. His main focus is on the design of ski bindings but he also works on the design of skins, shovels, probes , and skis. A ski binding is a very complicated device with over one hundred interacting parts some of which are stationary, and oth-ers which move.

There are a large number of “degrees of freedom” in a binding assembly, and Cam must pay atten-tion to achieving basic binding func-

tionality (i.e. keeping the skier attached to the ski, and transfering motions from the body to the ski), as well as

Knowing what to feed your dog is one of the most important decisions you can make affecting your dog’s health.

There are many reasons for the increasingly common serious dog and diseases, but the biggest single factor is food. Healthy pet food is comprised of very simple, basic ingredients.

Good pet food will contain the following: Real meat, such as chicken, lamb, beef, bison, deer, or fish, as the primary ingredient. Proteins are essen-tial for growth, maintenance, reproduc-tion, repair and energy. Vegetables and fruit provide essential phytonutri-ents, antioxidants and enzymes, plus natural vitamins, minerals and fibers. If there is a carbohydrate, it should be whole grains such as brown rice, barley and oats, sweet potato.

In the world of dog food, the rule of ‘you get what you pay for’ is somewhat valid. To be able to sell a 40lb bag of dog food for $15, means it must include some pretty cheap

ingredients; think about the protein source, derived from slaughtered ani-mals: lungs, spleen, kidneys, brain, and more. The dog foods with bet-ter quality ingredients generally cost more as the ingredients are more expensive. In some cases though the higher prices are also there to supple-ment the company’s marketing fees; the higher prices are not always an indication of quality.

The top 10 ingredients usually comprise 80% or more of a dry pet food’s entire formula - by focusing on these ingredients, you can determine if a food is of good quality. An animal based protein should be first- not a carbohydrate, such as corn.

Corn, wheat and soy have been linked to allergic reactions in some dogs, and are not as easy to digest. I am of the opinion that these can still be included in your dog’s food, but they should be there to comple-ment the food, not be the primary ingredients.

Are local ingredients better?- Yes, but in most cases this is not fea-sible as local source dog food could cost upwards of $200/ bag. There are some good quality dog foods with ingredients sourced from China, but these companies have some stringent quality controls. My suggestion is to support companies with good track records of producing healthy food, companies which have strict quality control, and those who have shown that their food is nutritionally sound producing healthier dogs.

There are a few specific ingre-dients which never need to be in your dog’s food; and there are many reasonable priced foods without these ingredients. Avoid the chemical pre-servatives such as ethoxyquin, BHA, BHT and propylene glycol. Avoid foods with artificial flavor enhancers, such as phosphoric acid. The last big chemical additive which we should all be avoiding, (especially our dogs) is the artificial colors. These include azo, azo dyes, and sodium nitrite.

Lastly, there are quick, inexpen-

sive and easy things that you can do to dramatically improve the quality of your dog’s food. My top 5 include: table scraps, vegetables and fruit, the healthy omega 3 fat, natural probiotics found in yoghurt, and eggs.

You should now have a better understanding of the importance of dog food and your pet’s health, You should now be able to add some of the pretty common ingredients found in your kitchen to supplement your dog’s diet, giving them a great, inexpensive nutritional boost.

Last week’s survey responses:

30% of our survey responses say yes, while 70% disagree Do you think the world is becoming less violent?

By Nelson Becker

Slide assessments must be made where people live

MEDITATIONSTOP the killing, love your

neighbor, pray for peace!EMPHASISE the positive

in the mass media.SO much crime can be

attributed to youth, lacking parental supervision. For example....vandalism, “tag-ging”, shoplifting ..and so forth. Community service should be strictly enforced as well as mandatory cur-fews for youth, under the age of 16. Regretfully, we have a staggering amount of “parents” who have woefully ignored discipline, education and strict moral values.

REUCE violence on TV and movies.Reduce nega-tive reporting in the media. Elevate the vibration of each individual life...don’t feed

the angry emotions the jeal-ous emotions the hate filled emotions... Cultivate com-passion.

ACKNOWLEGE human beings as such, and do unto others as we’ ld do to our-selves.

REDUCING world popu-lation by about 4 billion will remove most of the conflict sources - lack of food, water, territory. A reduction of this scale is impossible by ethical / fair means. But the violence of war, famine, pestilence, and disease are our fate if we cannot regulate our popula-tion to fit resources.

THE Keep the Beat fes-tival was a great example of what can be done to contrib-ute peace.

TAX the churches.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

Every win-ter in our recre-ational ski areas, we have many experts who either paid or unpaid, do ava-lanche assess-

ments and report as to the safety of each area. We must put at least

that same effort into slide assess-ment in our various communities. Because of environmental condi-tions an area may become more prone or less prone to a slide, so ongoing observations must be made. We cannot give in to the rationalizations that “we don’t have time” or “we don’t have money”. We can easily see that

prevention is way more effective than dealing with a tragedy after it happens. We won’t be able to stop landslides; it appears that climate change has made areas that were historically stable, unstable today. If we are proactive we certainly can mitigate damages that may be caused by either climate change or inappropriate logging.

What can be done to bring about a more peaceful world?

Voting deadline looms for One Book, One Kootenay winnerIt’s simple, really. Read the books;

mark your ballot. Tell the world—or at least the Kootenays—which book from the One Book, One Kootenay 2012 shortlist you think should get the nod. The deadline for voting for the book all Kootenay book-lovers should read is August 10th. Ballot boxes are in libraries throughout the Kootenay Library Federation.

One Book, One Kootenay (OBOK) is a region-wide book club that cel-ebrates the work of the talented writ-ers living in the Kootenay Boundary. Three Kootenay authors share the spotlight for the fourth annual One Book, One Kootenay honour. The 2012 nominees are Yes Sister, No Sister by Jennifer Craig, The Third Crop: A per-sonal and historical journey into the photo albums and shoeboxes of the Slocan Valley 1800s to early 1940s by

Rita Moir, and Boundary Country by Tom Wayman.

Jennifer Craig’s semi-autobi-ographical novel, which made the London Times bestseller list, is a funny, engaging story of a group of trainee nurses in the 1950s in Leeds, England. Yes Sister, No Sister is rife with long hours, bodily fluids, good-natured camaraderie, and Craig’s trademark Yorkshire humour.

Tom Wayman’s Boundary Country is a collection of stories that explore boundaries human and geographi-cal to which Wayman brings his gift for insightful observation and wry humour. A multiple award-winner, Wayman has penned more than 20 books of poetry, essays, and fiction.

Rita Moir’s The Third Crop isn’t just about the Slocan Valley, rich though that valley may be. Full of

photographs and down-to-earth prose, we can laugh and cry with these country-dwellers and relate to their challenges and triumphs. Moir’s pre-vious books have all been shortlisted or have won awards, including BC’s Hubert Evans Award.

Movies Under the Stars presentsThe Way

Sunday, Aug. 5, 8 p.m. at Lakeside Park. 121 minutes long. Rated PG-13.

THE WAY, starring Martin Sheen and written and directed by Emilio Estevez, was filmed entirely in Spain and France along the actual

Camino de Santiago. Bring blankets and chairs. Free.

Arts&Entertainment

THE WAY is a power-ful and inspirational story about family, friends and the challenges we face while navigating this ever-chang-ing and complicated world. Martin Sheen plays Tom, an irascible American doc-tor who comes to France to deal with the tragic loss of his son (played by Emilio Estevez). Rather than return home, Tom decides to embark on the historical pilgrimage “The Way of St. James” to honor his son’s desire to finish the journey. What Tom doesn’t plan on is the profound impact this trip will have on him. Through unexpected and oftentimes amusing experiences along “The Way,” Tom discovers the difference between “the life we live and the life we choose.”

Inexperienced as a trek-

ker, Tom soon discovers that he will not be alone on this journey. On “The Way,” Tom meets other pilgrims from around the world, each with their own issues and looking for greater meaning in their lives: a Dutchman (Yorick van Wageningen), a Canadian (Deborah Kara Unger) and an Irish writer (James Nesbitt), who is suf-fering from a bout of writer’s block.

From the unexpected and, oftentimes, amusing experiences along “The Way,” this unlikely quartet of misfits creates an everlast-ing bond and Tom begins to learn what it means to be a citizen of the world again. Through Tom’s unresolved relationship with his son, he discovers the difference between “the life we live and the life we choose.”
