THE ADULT SHOW

I first met Rick Scott in 1979 in Vancouver. He was rocking the Kitsilano scene with a group called Pied Pumkin. The other two musi-cians were Shari Ulrich and Joe Mock. Rick played rock and roll dulcimer, Shari was on violin and Joe Mock was on guitar.

While Pied Pumpkin was based in Vancouver, their home away from home has been Nelson and the West Kootenay. Eventually the members of Pied Pumkin all went their own way. Rick Scott, however, went on to become a children’s per-former, while still creating magic for an older crowd.

We are very fortunate to be able to bring to the West Kootenay community a great performer, who will not only enchant with his sweet sounding dulcimer, but will give us a message of life and optimism.

“Having mastered some of the most challeng-ing audiences imaginable, children and their families, Rick Scott will have you smiling like a child with his engaging big folks reper-toire. What lucky adults to be growing younger to the heartfelt stories and songs of this ageless elder man boy.” Pam Edgar

This week CBT and BC Housing will be hosting infor-mation sessions on the new Affordable Rental Housing initiative announced in March. Please note the start time for the meeting in Castlegar has changed to noon on Friday, April 27. This meeting is man-datory for interested propo-nents.

The partnership between BC Housing and CBT will pro-vide $10 million in funding for the creation of new affordable rental housing projects in com-munities across the Basin.

All questions related to submissions must be emailed to Mike Lachocki at [email protected] and must be received by May 4, 2012 at 2 p.m. Deadline for submission of proposals is May 30, 2012, 2 p.m. ST.

Over 300 students, of the graduating class of 700 students, celebrated graduation at Selkirk College’s Castlegar campus on April 20, 2012. Selkirk College extends their congratulations and best wishes for the future to all 2012 Graduates.

Selkirk College is ask-ing for community input towards their future direc-tion. The college is devel-oping a strategic plan that will set a high level direc-tion for the next five years.

According to Selkirk College President Angus Graeme, “Community engagement and develop-ment are absolutely integral to the success of Selkirk College. Hearing the thoughts and ideas from our communities as we renew our strategic plan is so important for us to effec-tively plan for the future.”

The process is now in the external consulta-tion phase and the local

communities in the West Kootenay/Boundary area are being asked to share their input and feedback towards Selkirk’s emerging direction to help the college remain relevant, responsive and reflective of the com-munities’ needs.

The internal consultation phase of the planning pro-cess was recently completed and very important voices were heard from throughout the college – staff, faculty, and most importantly stu-dents. This feedback helped identify and support emerg-ing strategic themes, which will be further reviewed and refined through the external consultation process.

Strategic planning community sessions for Selkirk College

BC Affordable housing meeting

The open house sessions are: April 23 - Grand Forks Campus - Room 8 at 4 p.m., May 2 - Nelson Community Meeting - Scholar’s Dining Room at 4 p.m., May 7 - Kaslo Extension Centre at 4 p.m., May 10 - Castlegar Campus S113 at 4 p.m., May 15 - Trail Campus Muriel Griffith’s Recital Room at 4 p.m. and May 16 - Nakusp Extension Centre at 4 p.m.

Over 600 people joined the 2012 earth day rally

Kootenays for a Pipeline-Free BC, teamed up with Keep Jumbo Wild, to launch one of the largest Earth Day rallies in the West Kootenay Region. Over 600 people came together in front of the Nelson City Hall on April 22, at 3 p.m., to make a stand and to celebrate. Diverse organizations, groups and people of all ages participated, along with their signs, banners, petitions, props, songs and messages. Brian Rosen inspired the people by sing-ing his “Stop the Pipeline” song at the Earth Day rally, and many organizers of Keep Jumbo Wild also spoke.

The City of Nelson announced the launch of the EcoSave Energy Retrofits Program. This pilot pro-gram will be implemented by Nelson Hydro over the course of 2012 and 2013. The program objective is to encourage homeowners to make energy efficiency improvements to their prop-erties thereby reducing ener-gy dependency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

This program is one of the measures being taken to achieve the goals of the Low Carbon Path to 2040 plan the city recently adopted. Through the EcoSave Program hom-eowners can access reduced cost home energy assess-ments, rebates for energy efficiency improvements to their homes and may qualify

for a Nelson Hydro on-bill financing program.

Mayor John Dooley states “The Nelson Hydro EcoSave Energy Retrofit Program is another way we can help our citizens to reduce our energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions; we will contin-ue to seek out new and inno-vative ways to meet our com-mitment to a healthy environ-ment in Nelson.” Councillor Donna Macdonald further stated “Nelson is a leader in fighting climate change, and the EcoSave Program will help us reduce emissions and energy. It’s an exciting, inno-vative program, and commu-nities across the country are watching its development.”

The public rollout of the program is beginning imme-diately.

City of Nelson launches energy retrofits program

“Beyond Recycling” encourages students in nine classes at eight schools in the Kootenays participate in a one-month Eco-Challenge to reduce their energy use and lower their impact on the Earth.

To mark the beginning of this Eco-Challenge—and of greener habits—they marked Earth Hour on Saturday, March 31, at 8:30 pm. That means they turned off lights, unplugged com-puters and experienced life without the buzz of all that

electricity. Now, they plan to go ‘beyond Earth Hour.’

Wildsight’s Beyond Recycling education pro-gram works with partners at FortisBC and the RDCK to deliver Beyond Recycling to different classes around the Columbia Basin every year. It’s a 20-week curriculum that covers a lot of ground. In the Nelson area, stu-dents at Blewett Elementary School, Trafalgar Middle School and Brent Kennedy Elementary School are par-ticipating in 2012

employed locals are cur-rently gathering to help create a co-working space right here in Nelson and they’re actively seeking others who are interested. The potential benefits of co-working are numerous, like increased social interaction, shared energy, inspiration and motivation, and daily structure. Plus, it’s a great way to network, creating new business opportunities through discovering varied skill sets among peers.

“I love the freedoms of being self-employed, but over time I’ve come to miss aspects of working in an office. The friend-ships, the sharing of ideas, and rubbing shoulders with interesting people,” said videogame developer and Nelson Co-working committee member, Eddy Boxerman.

It starts with an inquisitive mind that becomes captivated by an interesting ques-tion and driven to unravel the mystery. It is not Sherlock Holmes of which we speak,

How does a bathtub drain in Australia?dr. scienceChristine Humphries

I am off for a two week foray down-under and I am pretty excited to discover Australia and

to witness, first hand, how my hotel room’s bathtub will drain. This is not nearly as weird as it sounds! Apparently, bathtubs drain counter-clockwise in the Northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the Southern hemisphere. Many people believe that the bathwater’s rotation is due to the Coriolis Effect. This effect is defined as “the appar-ent acceleration of a moving body on or near the Earth as a result of the Earth’s rota-

tion” in the Encyclopaedia Britannica. In such a way, the rotation of the earth appears to deflect the path of a moving mass, such as air or water. In fact, weather systems are very strongly affected by the Coriolis Effect. In satellite pictures of clouds at the North Pole, the clouds swirl to the right. Pictures of clouds at the South Pole show clouds swirling to the left. Cyclones are also under the Coriolis Effect, with those in the Southern hemisphere rotating clock-wise, and those in the Northern hemisphere rotating counter-clockwise. Despite the fact that many people think the Coriolis Effect is occurring in their bathtub, scientists argue

that the Coriolis Effect impacts only on the path of large objects and that the way the bathwater drains is due more to the shape of the drain than the location of the tub on earth. In a carefully controlled environ-ment, however, with a perfectly round and smooth tub and with water that has been left to stand for several days to eliminate all turbulence, water drained through a single hole at the bottom of this perfect tub would, indeed, be affected by the Coriolis effect. So, I will scrub out the bathtub in my hotel room, let the water stand for days, and then watch it drain... or maybe I will go snorkel-ling instead!

Celebrating our young scientists ever number of senior students, and head judge Jeremy McComb was supported by more volunteer judges than ever before. The momentum building around the event also relates to the quality of the projects as students showed a remarkable depth of knowledge at all grade levels.

“By fostering a culture that values science, technology, innovation and entre-preneurship, KAST seeks to maintain and enhance the competitiveness of the region,” explained Executive Director Kelvin Saldern. “In doing so, we are help-ing to ensure there will be opportunities for these young scientists to choose to stay in our region as adult professionals and entrepreneurs who will then give back to our communities.”

The Science Fair and Community Science Celebration were made possi-ble by the generous support of numer-ous partners, including NSERC, Fortis, Columbia Basin Trust, Columbia Power Corporation, Zellstoff Celgar and many local businesses.

Opinion&Editorial

With us being back in the Legislature these past two weeks, several provincial orga-nizations are taking the time to meet with MLAs to share their concerns.

Michelle MungalMLA: Nelson/Creston

I’ve been able to talk with local real-tors, police, governments, engineers, technologists, CUPE members, as well as the Vancouver Board of Trade, Thompson Rivers University Law School and experts on the apprentice-ship system.

Along with these meetings, I have also sat down with Ministry staff respon-sible for the Jumbo Glacier Resort pro-

posal to get a full understanding of the next steps if this land development is to go forward. Because the proponent is now looking to have his proposal declared a Resort Municipality prior to any residents living there, I have requested meetings with the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development to get a better understand-ing of how this can be. This is a critical point in the whole Jumbo debacle. If it is made a resort municipality, the deci-sion-making for all potential develop-ment will lack proper public account-ability. The NDP and the Kootenays don’t want that to happen, so my col-leagues and I are working hard to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Liberal’s budget cuts to post-sec-ondary education have resulted in pro-gram closures at Selkirk College. They

are not alone, however. Many institu-tions are making similar cuts because they can no longer maintain offerings after years of inadequate investment from the Liberals. All 25 public post-secondary presidents have written the Minister of Advanced Education, but they have been ignored. Adrian Dix and I continue to press the Liberals on this issue that is imperative for the well-being of our economy.

And finally, I have to mention that the Liberals have finally admitted that their private power scheme was wrong headed with Bill 30. So please celebrate! We won to keep Glacier and Howser creeks free from a bad project and now the government is acknowledging that we knew what we were talking about. It just goes to show that voicing your concerns has an impact.

Freedom of expression is one thing that differenti-ates us from fascist and restrictive gov-ernments around the world. But free-dom of expression is not a black and white issue.

In Canada freedom of expression does not extend to the promotion of hate or violence. We must be very careful when we look at putting restrictions on peoples expression. Those expressions might be of a political nature, commercial nature or an art form.

This last week, in my efforts to commu-nicate to the public, important cultural events in our community, I was approached by a Nelson bylaw officer who informed me that I was breaking a bylaw, and that I faced the potential of a 50 dollar fine for every poster I hung up on public property.

In 1993 the supreme court of Canada ruled that municipalities do not have the right to make blanket laws against hanging posters on public property. In their decision there rea-soning was that postering was clearly a free-dom of expression issue, and that outlawing postering entirely was disproportionate to the intended objective. They further commented that it did not matter whether the poster was from a dance, a sale at a business, a yard

sale or for a lost kitten. The supreme court seemed to say that municipalities could make certain laws to control postering, for example, restricting the size or the length of time for which the poster could be up.

I asked the bylaw officer what bylaw I was contravening? He did not know, and was unable to tell me. I have written a letter to the Nelson City Police asking for what bylaw I have contravened and further direction so that I may stay within both the laws of Canada and Nelson.

The issue of postering as it relates to free-dom of expression, is no small issue. If you are interested in the supreme court decision and comments on this decision please go to the supreme court of Canada’s web site

For the third time in my life, through the regu-lar West Kootenay medical channels, I was diagnosed with cancer. Chemo was strongly advised and two different kinds of chemo were offered. Because I felt healthy and strong, not at all exhausted like I had with my previous bouts of cancer, because all my blood tests showed my body wasn’t fighting anything, and because my naturopath, who read copies of all the various medical reports said to me, “nothing is con-clusive in these reports,” I declined the chemo.

Further CT scans over the course of a year showed slow growth of the lump.

More pressure was applied by various Nelson medi-cal people for me to have chemo, including an offer to go to Calgary to have a sizable chunk cut out of my body and in conjunction with this, to have various kinds of chemo applied, all of which sounded horrendous and ter-rifying. My naturopath still said the information was inconclusive.

Next came a sugges-tion I look into palliative care for myself, followed by a string suggestion that I have palliative surgery, with the understanding that I would have at most a year to live. I would have two and a half years left with the chemo regime. Being

more interested in a good life rather than a longer life of suffering, with my con-tinued good health and good blood tests, with skiing still in full swing, I continued to decline.

I cashed in some of my RRSPs, considered eutha-nizing my old dog since I didn’t want her to out-live me, looked into putting my house up for sale this spring, and gave away car-loads of belongings. I can-celed my trip to Holland for my mother’s 91st birthday and a family reunion.

Finally an appointment with a specialist in Kelowna for a second opinion was arranged. This URGENT visit took more than four

months to arrange while my emotional roller-coaster ride continued.

The Kelowna special-ist apologized for anyone ever having used the word palliative. The lump was surgically removed.

The pathology report shows that the lump was benign and no signs of can-cer were found anywhere. It was simply a lump I would have died with rather than died from.

Always get a second opinion and look for alter-natives before making life-changing decisions.

Having written this, I can now continue with my life which may very well be a long and healthy one.

Flowers: lots and lots of flowers to the wonderful woman walking down the street picking up things that others decided to throw down onto the ground... She being an earth-con-scious person, energeti-cally picked up after those not yet at her pre-cious level of being....Thank you dear one

Ruth was the youngest of two chil-dren of Gerald (deceased) and Thena MacCallum, nee Jacobsen. She is survived by her Mother, Thena; her brother, Lawrence (Margaret) and their two children, Deborah (Douglas) and Darcy (Victoria) and their families.

As a career military family the MacCallums were posted throughout Europe and Canada. Although Ruth’s for-mative years were spent living among old world cultures she found her heart had its niche in the rugged landscape and people of the Yukon. These memories were special to her.

Ruth earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of British Columbia and her Registered Nursing Certificate in 1968. She went on to further her education with a Master of Science Degree from Arizona State University in 1976. She belonged to the B.C. Association of Clinical Counsellors and numerous other associations and affiliations connected to

her employment. Ruth was employed in the field of

Mental Health practising in Maple Ridge, Nelson, Trail and Castlegar, B.C. She had just recently retired from the Castlegar Office. She briefly maintained a small busi-ness, Best Options, dealing with Employee Assistance.

As a child Ruth was imbued with the cultures of Europe which came together to form a woman of understated refinement, grace, class and dignity seldom seen in someone so young. This was evident to the end.

We would like to thank Drs. T. Toews, M. Smith and L. Scotland and their team/staff for their excellent care; the nurses and staff of Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital for allowing her dignity; Home Nursing Services; Red Cross Loan Cupboard; and, her extended circle of friends and family. There are no words to express the gratitude to her special group of friends who folded her into their arms and filled these last months with love, caring, warmth, friend-ship and quality of life. Thank you. We will all miss that smile as there was no truer friend. Ruth will rest next to her Father in the Garden of Gethsemani, Surrey, B.C. Internment will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers please make donations to TB Vets, 1410 Kootenay Street, Vancouver, B.C., V5K 4R1 www.tbvets.org or the charity of your choice.

There will be a Celebration of Life on Friday, May 25, 2012 at 11:00 am at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church, 1374 Pine Avenue, Trail, B.C. with Canon Neil Elliot, Celebrant. Gwen Ziprick of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation ServicesTM has been entrusted with arrangements.

You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the online regis-ter at www.myalternatives.ca
