Recently, The Nelson Chapter of the Canadian Federation of University Women celebrated their 45th anniversary of being a vibrant organization in Nelson. The Nelson CFUW chapter is very active in many areas of life support-ing women in Nelson.

The CFUW Fellowship and Awards program sup-ports women’s access to higher education to carry out their educational man-date. The CFUW mem-bership promotes equality

for women and girls, and supports quality educa-tion and lifelong learning. Advocating locally, pro-vincially, nationally and globally, CFUW encour-ages dialogue between its members and governments at all levels as a way to effect positive change.They speak of “Our right to speak and the respon-sibility to act”.So it was with pride and joy that they celebrated their 45th anniversary of being active in Nelson.

Last weekend, fourteen enthusiastic and committed volunteers went through a three-day training sessions put on by Transition Nelson Society and the Mir Centre for Peace at Selkirk College. The intensive workshop included train-ing in mediation techniques and lots of practice.

The program is designed to help neighbours in the city of Nelson to become better acquainted and resolve minor disputes. A protocol is also expected to be established for referrals from city staff. In addition to strength-

ening the social fabric and easing some of the burden on Nelson’s by-law offi-cers, the initiative will develop conflict resolution skills among volunteers and referrals alike. “We launched this pro-gram to meet an important need in our community and help our community members appreciate our interdepen-dence,” said Dr. Andre Piver. Dr. Piver is a volunteer participant, as well as a board member for Transition Nelson. “With high energy prices, ever-increas-ing demands on local government, eco-nomic uncertainty and climate change

Free neighbourhood mediation program takes next stepaffecting global food supplies, it is vital and richly rewarding that we can turn to each other for help.”

The Transition Nelson volunteers and the Mir Centre for Peace will complete the details of how people can sign up for mediation help in the next few weeks, and expect to launch the program in full by the end of May. Transition Nelson has applied for funding for the program through the Columbia Basin Trust’s Community Initiatives Program. See www.transi-tionnelson.org. for more details.

Nelson Chapter of the Canadian Federation of University Women celebrates 45 years

The Slocan Valley has been the subject of yet another cooperative enforcement effort by the Nakusp and Slocan Lake Detachments to combat illicit drug activity in the Slocan Valley. Officers sought and obtained a Property Restraint Order, issued by a B.C. Supreme Court Judge in the Vancouver Registry, for a property that contained a commercial marijuana grow operation.

The accused and prop-erty owner has been for-mally charged for offences stemming from the judicial-ly-authorized search of his property on Feb. 3, 2012. It is alleged that the accused was operating a commer-cial-style marijuana grow operation comprised of 396 plants, and that he was in unlawful possession of a shotgun.

The Property Restraint Order prevents the prop-erty owner from selling or transferring interest in the property and from doing anything that could depre-ciate the value of the prop-

erty until the criminal mat-ter is dealt with in court. The order also gives interim control and management of the property to the Seized Property Management Directorate (SPMD) of the Public Works and Government Services Canada. Depending on the outcome of the criminal case, the trial judge may forfeit the property, wholly or partially, to the Crown.

This is the fourth prop-erty to be restrained in recent years in the Slocan Valley. In two of the mat-ters, a judge ordered for-feiture of the properties, wholly in one case and par-tially in another, as offence-related property. The other two matters are before the courts and, upon the com-pletion of the criminal pro-ceedings, applications will be made for the forfeiture of these properties as well.

Police will be continu-ing with drug enforcement as this is a priority for the detachment and the RCMP.

Arts&EntertainmentShane Koyczan returns

to the Capitol Theatre after his triumphant sold out per-formance in October 2010 with his band the Short Story Long.

In a world where poets rarely intersect with stardom, the Opening Ceremonies for the 2010 Winter Olympics introduced Shane Koyczan. With a collective “wow” across Canada, was found the poet of our genera-tion. Powerfully engaging and authentic in attitude, his explorations are rel-evant to current times in the way Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Gordon Downie and Leonard Cohen are to theirs. But unlike the musi-cians he’s often compared

to, poets rarely infiltrate pop culture. Koyzcan emerges in a new wave of 21st century poetry that dares to belong to the people and speak directly to them in their own voice. Koyzcan also breathes life into the new genre of talk rock with his band The Short Story Long. A trio whose musical range stretches from folk to funk, from ambient to rock, show-casing all of the beautiful in between, have (along with Koyczan) created a whole new style of song/verse.

All tickets are reduced to only $15 and are avail-able at the Capitol Theatre box office, charge by phone 250-352-6363 or online at www.capitoltheatre.bc.ca.

The Mayans predicted that 2012 would be the last year of existence and there are about 2012 websites offering indisputable proof that the Four Horseman of the Apocolypse are shining up their spurs. Will the End of the World really be the end or just an opportu-nity to start fresh? Maybe (gasp) it’s all just a meta-phor! Come to the Oxygen Art Centre’s Fundraiser to see how some of Nelson’s talented artists tackle

these burning questions. Hosted by Lucas Myers as Steven the Art Star and Featuring the talents of Bessie Wapp, Krista Lynch, Lisel Forst, Lisa Menna, Joel Cottingham, Geordi Campos, Julie Johnston-Murray and Jason Asbell with a special guest appear-ance by Nicola Harwood and Brahm Taylor as Ilsa and Klaus.

Tickets are $20-15 Sliding Scale, available at Eddy Music and the door. Opening Ellison’s Cafe

Next up is Glen Martin, songwriter and guitar play-er from the Touques, co-founder of the Bigby Place campfire songs jam and member of the Wholesome Jones. He will perform some of his old and new

creations on guitar, mando-lin and vocals.

Closing is Rambling Dan Frechette from Manitoba. With over 1,500 songs to his credit, he is a master of songcraft not found often in the young crop of musicians and art-ists. In an unprecedent-ed move, Rambling Dan released 4 new albums over 5 weeks starting in February. Armed with a harmonica and any num-ber of instruments, he per-forms blues, folk and blue-grass.

The passage of whales at the Nelson LibraryExhibit on display at the Nelson Public Library through April and May

It’s a love affair that first began in the south of France, but it’s a romance of a different kind. The romance is Virginie Baysse’s passion for pho-tography that was first ignited on that Mediterranean shore.

Since then, the Nelson photog-rapher’s work has been exhibited in France, Montreal, and the Kootenays. Her series Les baleines des Escoumins is on display at the Nelson Public Library through April and May.

Says Baysse, “In this magic place of the north coast of Québec, on the Saint-Laurent River, whales such as Minkes, Fins, and Humpbacks have been caressing the shore on their

migratory journey for thousands of years.”

Baysse’s photographic eye cap-tures the subtle shapes and colours in tidal pools and rock formations that pay homage to these awe-inspir-ing marine mammals. The magic is reflected in a series of photograph-ic landscape images that honour the impressions left by their passage.

Baysse was educated in France in psychology and education and has since embraced studies in visual arts, art therapy, and other disciplines in Québec. She sees photography as a way to explore and share the earth’s stories.

Book Launch for Living the PracticeSunday, April 29, 2 p.m. Yasodhara Ashram, 527 Walker’s Landing Road, Kootenay Bay

While there may not seem to be much con-nection between a ripen-ing apricot and the prac-tice of yoga, a new book by the spiritual director of Yasodhara Ashram makes the link between the two clear.

Living the Practice, Collected Writings on the Transformative Potential of Yoga draws on Swami Radhananda’s 30 years as a yoga teacher and her rich experiences as a mother and educator. She presents yoga not as the esoteric art of a few flexible people, but as an everyday spiritual practice that can play a role in anyone’s life at a business meeting, while driving in traffic, cook-ing or gardening.

Swami Radhananda will read from the book and there will be group discussions, followed by tea. All are welcome.

For more informa-tion, visit radhananda.org or www.yasodhara.org or call 1-800-661-8711.

Dialogues with UnmaniFriday, April 20, 7 - 9 pm The Old Church Hall, 602 Kootenay St.

Unmani is a spiritual teacher, originally from the U.K., who has lived a nomadic life in many countries since the age of 18. She has had no ‘home base’ for years, and trav-els around the world hold-ing meetings and retreats relying on the generosity of people who have been touched by her message.

Since she was a child Unmani never identified with the role she seemed to be playing as a per-son living a life. After years of searching to find a way out of the pain this created, she met a German Zen master in India. With her teacher, Unmani recognized that what she had been search-ing for had always been right there. She woke up from the dream; time stopped and the search

ended. She will give a Public talk and lead a Retreat weekend (April 21-22) in Nelson.

Unmani is the author of two books; her website is www.die-to-love.com

Changing Beer Levels: Magic or Science?

A reader wrote to me asking for a scientific explanation for a phenomenon he has observed in his home-brew beer. He told me that he has a 10-gallon carboy of beer with an airlock seal and that the “level of beer has been rising and lower-ing noticeably some days.” Although there is a very small possibility that it is a “magical carboy that sometimes can end-lessly produce more beer,” there is a more likely scientific explanation for the rising

and falling beer levels. The expansion and contraction of the beer is most likely due to fluctuations in temperature. As the tem-perature rises, the atoms in a liquid move faster and take more room. Since the beer in the carboy probably cannot push against the sides of the carboy, it moves up and the carboy appears fuller. The reverse happens when the temperature lowers, the atoms move less quickly, take less room and it appears as though the amount of beer has decreased in the carboy. I spoke to Gerri Lee Brundage, former owner of the Wine Kitz store on Front Street in Nelson. She

told me that it is normal to see the beer level drop because gas is released during fermentation. She had never heard of a “magical carboy” that increases beer levels, but agreed that fluctuations in the temperature of the carboy’s environment are the most likely explanation. She also suggested that placing a large item next to a carboy on a shelf may alter the shape of the carboy and make it look like there is more or less liquid inside. In the end, whether it is magic or science, the most important thing is that the beer tastes good!

Last week’s survey responsesOld age pension being raised to 67

Do you think that the deadline for proposals for the Civic Theatre should be extended?

Click here or visit the link below

25% of our survey responses agree with the change, while 75% disagree

Publisher’s note BY NELSON BECKER

The City has set a dead-line of May 31st for requests for proposals for the Civic Theatre. I do not believe that this short deadline best serves our com-munity. While

this may be sufficient time for an expe-rienced profit-making company to come up with good looking proposals, our community organizations (Squash Court,

Movie Theatre, Climbing Wall and other interests) will not have the experience nor time to present a responsible well-researched community-based proposal.

I believe City Council must give direction to the City Administration, as City Administration is in charge of the deadlines. City Council must ask administration to extend the deadline for a year as this will give the commu-nity an opportunity to come up with a proposal.

I think it is important for there to be a “pow wow” between those people who want a movie theatre, the squash court

people, the climbing wall people and others who want a community solution.

The purpose of this meeting would be to hear each other’s points of view with open hearts and with the intent to work together to come up with a multi-use solution that approaches satisfying everyone. The responsibility for setting up this group should come from council and a councillor should be on the com-mittee.

I do not know how everyone will work together, but I realize that only by sitting down and helping each other can we help ourselves.

The Civic Theatre proposal deadline should be extended

IT is corporate greed and the stupidity of the big C and little c, conservative agendas that are the real issue for our revenue challenged B.C. and Canadian governments. Tax the corpo-rations and we would all be in better shape: public education, OAS, health care, etc. So the only correct statement in the survey question is “the cur-rent model is unsustainable,” and to me it is the current governments - no imagination and voodoo economics makes a mess for everyone.

FEWER people will retire at an earlier age because of this; fewer younger people will get those jobs, and the economy will end up suffering for it. Politicians don’t care; they get an amazing pension anyway and don’t really need an old age pension. I won’t be able to retire at 62 as planned; I will be 64 now. Too bad for those younger people in my profes-sion coming behind me.

CREATING another source of stress for our most fragile. Pick on someone your own size!

I do not think that there should be a pension at all. Imgine if naturally, because of the goodness of our hearts, we took care of each other through thick and thin? I do not blame the government for having to rethink this scenario, they have to do something.

WHY not claw back the OAS eligibility ceiling from the current $120,000? The seniors who do not have savings or RRSP’s are being penalized when those with more ‘wealth’ could do without.

IT is so unreasonable when you see how the perks are going for Government Officials. Old people are not very popular, and YES I am one

MANY people are not phys-ically able to work past 65. Are we setting up people to be injured on the job? Further, folks on social services would continue to receive less income than OAS would provide a cruel step. There is Federal government misspending that should be curbed, rather than attacking the elderly.

Opinion&Editorial

I think raising the Pension age to 67 is a good thing, because it will give the opposition parties a perfect platform in the next elec-tion, and hopefully lead to the defeat of the Regressive Conservative Party.

As a reasonable Canadian, I might be con-vinced that this cost saving measure was necessary if they weren’t spending like drunken sailors to buy us new first strike attack jets,

or if Peter Mckay could find a way to get to work for less that a Hundred grand (like when he called up a military aircraft to pluck him from his fishin’ trip). Their view that the only way we are safe on this Earth is if every country is armed to the teeth with High Teck weaponry has just got to go. There has to be another way.

Rod RetzlaffGlade, B.C.

Dear Editor,

MANY people with good paying jobs should have man-aged their money so they could retire early to open up jobs for young people. Too many employees such as teachers stay working after retirement making it difficult for young qualified teachers to get work. For those that can afford it, quit early, relax, spend your money keep the economy going, vol-unteer if you need something to do.

MANY people will not qualify for maximum Canada Pension when they turn 65. I didn’t and I have worked since I was 14-years-old. (Different century - I know!!) It is extremely hard to save money for an RRSP when you need your money to just live and pay the exorbitant rents, especially in Nelson, which is becoming a retreat for only the wealthy - just like Whistler.

THE body begins to cave - we don’t want people to be forced to wait until they feel beaten down

IT’S utterly ridiculous to be expecting fewer ‘young’ people to pay/sustain a pop-ulation of ever-increasing retirees. The real problem lies not in penalising the young who already doubt if there will be any retirement mon-ies available when it’s their turn. Instead, we should focus on providing secure locked-in guaranteed saving vehicles that pay more than the cur-rent inflation rate. MP’s have it pretty sweet. How is it that they are guaranteed a return on ‘investment’ considerably higher than that of inflation without even contributing to their own retirement funds in the first place? Oh that’s right... the taxpayer. They’re expected to make up the dif-ference. No no no, this think-ing has to stop. The tax payers’ pockets are not endless as the government is slowly start-ing to figure out. Instead let’s find ‘real’ solutions; real rates of return that are sustainable. Why are there no govern-ment investment firms that,

like venture capitalists, look to beat the index or better yet, beat the inflation rates? There are no proactive measures to use the capital at hand to cre-ate more. Instead the motto is still ‘Well, we can always get more capital from the taxpay-er’. I say nay! Our government has stopped being respon-sible. It has stopped ‘think-ing’ rationally and definitely isn’t thinking ‘outside the box.’ These traits are required if we are to weather the real storm. Raising the Old Age Security to 67 only punishes those that are already doubt-ful about retirement. What is the government going to do in 10 years? Raise the age to 69? Then 71? Its ridiculously short-minded.

AS much as I hate to agree with the Conservatives, this is a necessary move. I’m young enough that this will affect me when the time comes, but a pension at 65 is simply not sustainable with our age shift-ing demographic.

CANADA Pension is not being raised to 67... Old age security is... it will send old people who cannot afford the delay (it is also tied in to the guranteed income supplement) to welfare lines. Thanks for nothing Harper!!! I am sure your oil rich com-panies need the subsidies more than the average citi-zen...I am sure we have the money to spare for the fighter jets billion dollar over budget purchase...!!! Get the money from the senior citizens, we are dying off anyway, so you can not count on our votes in the future!!! That must explain it!!!

I will be affected by this change, and I don’t like it. But I’d rather work an extra two years than have no pension at all. I’d love to hear a better option.

THERE is Federal gov-ernment misspending that should be curbed, rather than attacking the elderly.

Opinion&Editorial

Michelle MungalMLA: Nelson/Creston

Updates from the houseCommentary by Michelle Mungall

While the Legis la ture has been on short break for the last two weeks, I have been at home in the constituency enjoying time with those

whom I represent. Being at home is always great. Not only do I get to be surrounded by the natural beauty of the Kootenays, and spend time with family, but I also get to wear my jeans more often!

Although things are a bit more laid back around here than they are in Victoria, they are no less busy. Over the past 14 days, I’ve travelled to every part of Nelson-Creston attend-ing community events, meeting with local organizations and hosting dis-cussion forums on important issues.

First, I was in Kaslo meeting with the Food Hub about their food security projects. While there, I also met the newest Village Councillor, Rob Lang,

and then the Chamber of Commerce. That evening, I headed up to Argenta to speak at the community’s meeting on BC Hydro’s Smart Meter program that cost rate-payers close to $1 billion.

A few days later, I was in Creston taking in the roller derby scrimmage hosted by both the East and West Kootenay leagues. They’re hoping to get a team going in Creston, so if you’re a woman looking for a fun, albeit rough, way to stay fit, this is a sport for you. Interested in learning more by watching a bout? Sign-up to my e-newsletter at www.michel-lemungall.ca, and you’ll be entered to win free tickets to any WK bouts this season.

Finally, my Surrey colleague Jagrup Brar came for a visit to speak about his month living on welfare. We had informative and powerful discus-sions with constituents in both Salmo and Nelson, including the Salmo Community Resource Society, Nelson Committee on Homelessness and both the Salmo and Nelson Chambers of Commerce.

inMemory theExpress Update Friday, April 13, 2012

Nelson has lost one of their genuine gracious Ladies, JEAN (ERSKINE) EMORY. Died April 8 2012 in her 86th year.

Jean is reunited with her beloved husband Bob. She leaves her children to cherish her memory Janis, Greg(Sally) and Lee. Sister-in-law Betty Askew (Rick), nephews Bruce Askew (Bette-Lou) Don Graham( Judy),several great nieces and nephews,special friends Jack and Lynn Chambers and their sons, lifelong friend Edna Whiteley, numerous friends and acquaintances. Her love of life and genu-ine interest in people was reflected by the saying “A stranger is a friend I have not yet met.”

Born in Rossland, Jean moved with her parents to Nelson in 1940.She graduat-ed from Nelson High School and later worked as an RN at Royal Jubilee Hospital Victoria in 1948. She and Dad were married in a double cer-emony with Bob’s sister Betty and husband Rick in 1949.

Mom was very involved with the Fairview United Church, taking an active role in the Naomi Unit and teaching Sunday School. Over the years,she received numerous awards from the the BC Cancer Agency for her Dedication and Volunteer Service. She served on the Board of Directors of Kootenay Lake Hospital, was

a proud member of Beta Sigma Phi, and involved in Bethel #10 Job’s Daughters. Her son Greg was a goalie for several hockey teams and she was his biggest cheer-leader .

In 1979 Mom and Dad joined Nelson United Church. They were a welcome addi-tion to the choir which they both thoroughly enjoyed.

Mom and Dad traveled extensively, enjoying trips to Hawaii, Australia, New Zealand, England, Italy,the States, and numerous cruises.

As an expression of Sympathy family and friends may donate in Jean’s mem-ory to the Canadian Cancer Society, the Canadian Parkinson’s Association, or the charity of your choice.

Jean was prede-ceased by her parents, Frank and Maude Erskine. Siblings Monte, Eleanor, Fred and beloved husband Bob.(2007)

The Family would like to express their deep appre-ciation for the Love and Care Jean received at Mountain Lakes Seniors Facility over the past 3 years.

Service was held Thursday April 12th @ 11:00 am at St Saviors Pro Cathedral. Reverend David Boyd presiding.

Remember me with love not tears and all the happy years,

That is how I will remem-ber you.

Jean (Erskine) EmoryIt is with great sadness that

we announce that Garth,our loving husband and father passed away quietly on April 9, 2012 in Nelson, B.C.after a long struggle with front tempo-ral lobe degeneration.

Born in Trail, B.C. on January 4, 1942 to Amy and Harry Collins, Garth was the eldest of 8 children.

He attended elementary school in Fruitvale and J.L. Crowe High School in Trail. Garth graduated with a B.Sc. in Forestry at the University of British Columbia. After work-ing in Victoria and Duncan BC as a forestry consultant, Garth returned to the Kootenays and taught forestry at Selkirk College in Castlegar for over 25 years.

He was a quiet, patient man who was always gen-erous and thoughtful. Garth loved music. He played the guitar and the fiddle with the Old Time Fiddlers and The Quarter Notes, and founded the Kootenay #9 Workshop for the BC Old Time Fiddlers. It’s been ten years now and this workshop continues to flour-ish attracting more students every year. When we moved to Nelson in 2003, he became involved with the local Blue Grass group.

His passion for the out-doors is reflected in his love of fishing, hiking, skiing, golf-ing and sailing. While living on an acreage in Passmore we raised sheep, chickens, pigs, grew a large garden and

enjoyed maintaining the prop-erty. During summers we trav-elled across Canada, Europe, and down the Oregon coast. After retirement we spent a year in Japan and later took a number of cruises.

Garth is survived by his wife Grace Devaux, and chil-dren Quentin, Melanie, and Keiko. He is also survived by his mother Amy Collins, and his siblings Shirley (Don)Taylor, Alayne (Leo)Matzner, Karen (Bill) Duncan, Howard (Shauna)Collins, Chris (Brenda)Collins. He will also be dearly missed by his large extended family.

The family would like to thank Mountain Lakes, Broader Horizons, and all his care-work-ers who cared for Garth with so much compassion during his last few years. I would also like to thank Dr. Trevor Janz and Cristina Lidstone for their special efforts.

In honour of Garth, a short service and celebration of life followed by a potluck will be held at the Passmore Hall, 3656 Passmore Old Road at 10:30 am on Saturday April 14th. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration at www.theaftd.org or sent to AFTD

Radnor Station Bld 2, Suite 320

290 King of Prussia Rd.Radnor, PA 19087Online condolences may

be expressed at www.thomp-sonfs.ca.
