According to information released by the City of Nelson, effective August 1st, Nelson bus service will no longer be available. This cut is the first step in the City’s review of the transit system. The transit routes have not been reviewed in decades and the system as it stands is no longer financially sustainable. Future changes are expected before the end of 2011.

Opinion&EditorialVacant stores on Baker not a problem

Dear Editor;After reading the may-

or’s concern about vacant stores on Baker Street, I took a walk down it and counted only 3 vacant stores between Extra Foods and The Food Coop, including the one damaged by fire.

In front of one (formerly Lyon’s Shoes) an ugly ply-wood front intrusively juts onto the sidewalk, appar-ently waiting for some street art.

Rather than pursuing this rather unattractive and possibly costly strate-gy of camouflage wouldn’t a simple “COMING SOON” or “WATCH THIS SPACE FOR NEW DEVELOPMENTS” sign on the window work bet-ter?

Remember K.I.S.S.? That saying is particular-ly valuable in tight eco-nomictimes like these.

Dear EditorI’d like to express my

appreciation for your efforts to create an on-line rendition of the Express, which has served the communtiy well for so many years. It’s perhaps unfortunate that changing times and tech and ris-ing costs have made print editions of newspapers a dying species of media. At the same time we have

to deal with reality as it is presented to us and I com-mend you for the manner in which you are doing this, and I wish you the best in your endeavour to remain a vibrant part of the community. You are exhibiting great courage and commitment in this undertaking and it does not go without notice. Keep up the good work!

Nelson and area’s transit system is an essential part of how we commute and communicate with one another. The City of Nelson recently announced the cutting of Sunday bus service in order to save money. We should be looking beyond mak-ing cuts to a money-losing service. Less bus service will mean fewer peo-ple will take the bus. If fewer people

take the bus, then the bus service will lose more money. We should be look-ing at ways to make the bus service easier to use. We don’t even have bus service to our swimming pool. We could be promoting other non-Governmental forms of transportation such as Kootenay Carshare, Rideshare and carpooling. The challenge is to take this cloud

of transportation uncertainity and find the silver lining of positive change.The deadline for submitting responses to these surveys is noon, Thursday June 23rd. We will present the results of this week’s surveys in our next Update. If you have an idea for a sur-vey question, please send it to us at :[email protected].

MORE meet and greet areas, for employers and possible employees.

A coffee house featuring reasonably-priced coffee’s and pastries.

DON’T assume that social interaction is the only way to develop. Realize that there is value in our private isolation, when used to nourish and replenish our selves, then return again to the fold, with something new to offer.

OUR small community has events that bring peo-ple together and plenty of opportunity to support community through vol-unteerism

WHY does it want to do this? The state in the bed-room phenomena.

USE focal points of interest i.e. card games, easy sports for all, so people don’t have to rely on conversation but the activity to create conver-sation around.

A social message board specifically designed for word msgs, from perspec-tive friends to others.

I recently became sep-arated from my partner. I was surprised to learn that there are no ongo-ing support groups to help those of us experiencing this kind of loss. I am too sad and exhausted to do it myself.

Your CommentsWhat could this community

do to encourage more social interaction?

theSurvey

Reader imput SurveyOther Comments WE have so many

ways we could spend our time,deciding what is of value is something we must do privately.

IF this is a nelson relat-ed question friendliness in the streets and busi-nesses would go a long way to make your regional

neighbours who shop in NELSON feel welcomed

THE community of Nelson and surrounding areas, already have good Social networking. Maybe for newcomers, a mes-sage board would be an avenue.

ExpressFilms In Lakeside Park

Every Sunday night 8 p.m. in AugustThe Chorus - Les ChoristesLakeside Park, Sunday August 7thEnglish subtitles The Expressnews and the Association des francophones des Kootenays Ouest are proud to pres-ent the movie: Les Choristes (The Chorus ) original French version with English subtitles. France (2004): Widely successful orchestra con-ductor Pierre Morhange (Jacques Perrin) returns to France when his mother dies. He reminiscences about his childhood inspirations through the pages of a diary kept by his old music teacher Clément Mathieu (Gérard Jugnot). In 1949, a young Pierre (Jean-Baptiste Maunier) is the badly behaved son of single mother Violette (Marie Bunel). He attends a boarding institution, Fond de L’Etang, for “difficult” boys presid-ed over by strict headmaster Mr. Rachin (François Berléand). New teacher Mathieu brightens up the school and assembles a choir, lead-ing to the discovery of Pierre’s musi-cal talents and a transformation in the children. The mission of the West Kootenay Francophone Association (AFKO) is to promote French language and culture by organizing and facilitat-ing educational, cultural and social activities and services. In Fall 2011, AFKO will be cele-brating its 25th anniversary and we are currently organizing a theatrical tour throughout the West Kootenay region in order to commemorate this important year. Stay tuned but, for now, enjoy the movie!

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.
