CommunityNewsDinner to support local refugees from BurmaSaturday, Oct. 27 6 p.m. at the United Church, Silica at Josephine St.

Some years ago there was a child born in a bam-boo hut during a rainy day in the mountainous jungles of Thailand. Her parents were one of the 300,000 Karen (ka-REN) people of Burma, who fled the persecution of the military government. She lived in many refugee camps on the Thai/Burma boarder for 27 years. Her name is Hsa Moo (saw-moo).

12 years passed, and another young girl was sent to the camps for her safety, after her village in Burma was repeatedly burned to the ground by the army. She left behind her parents and sib-lings, who are now either dead or among the internally displaced persons. Her name is Htoo Paw (too-paw).

Hsa Moo and Htoo Paw, who are cousins, somehow found each other among the other 130,000 refugees liv-

ing in the camps. Despite the hardships that they faced, they survived, educated themselves and eventually became leaders amongst their people.

Htoo Paw worked with a Woman’s Organization which helped women orga-nize to build work co-ops within the camps. Hsa Moo was vice-president of a youth organization, and taught other young people about their rights and their Karen cul-ture. She also was involved with a rudimentary radio sta-tion built for the people in the camps. She interviewed incoming refugees and pro-duced radio programs which told the truth about the situa-tion in Burma.

Both women could never return to their homeland for fear of being persecuted or murdered by the Burmese military government, nor

were they able to leave the camps to find work and live in Thailand. As refugees, they had little hope of a future outside their camp.

But miracles do happen, and this June the two cous-ins, now in their late twenties, resettled in Nelson and are now Permanent Residents of Canada. The Nelson Refugee Committee worked for over three years to make this a reality. They waded through the paperwork involved and began fund raising in earnest from the start. Their commit-ment is to support Hsa Moo and Htoo Paw during their resettlement process and to provide full financial support for one full year.

A fundraising dinner for Hsa Moo and Htoo Paw at the United Church, Silica at Josephine St. will take the Nelson Refugee Committee one step closer in meeting

financial goals for their sup-port. Please come for a deli-cious Burmese (Karen) meal and meet Hsa Moo and Htoo Paw. Doors open at 5:30, din-ner at 6:00. Tickets available at Otters. $15/single, $45/ family.

MLA Michelle Mungall has been selected to join a Canadian delegation head-ed to the Ukraine to monitor the country’s parliamentary elections slated for October 28, 2012.

“Democracy is not something that can be taken for granted,” says Mungall. “Canada has a very strong and stable democracy. It is great to be able to share that experience, and support the development of free and fair elections in Ukraine.”

Mungall was selected as one of the 500 elec-tion observers composing Canada’s contribution to a

large mission of over 10,000 observers. CANADEM, an Ottawa based NGO that is managing the Canadian mission, selected Mungall from among 2000 appli-cants based on her expe-rience observing elections in the African nation of Zambia and her qualifica-tions as an elected official in Canada. The mission’s objectives are to observe and report on whether the October 28 election results genuinely reflects the democratic expression of Ukrainian voters.

A report released by long-term observers already

in the Ukraine has raised early concerns due to cases of vote buying and threats to candidates. The report is also hopeful; one section of it reads “free and fair elec-

tions that represent the will of the Ukrainian people are still possible. It is not too late.”

Enbridge pipeline protesters to rally at Nelson City HallWednesday, Oct. 24, at noon in front of Nelson City Hall

Kootenay environmental activists who have been opposing the Enbridge pipeline proposal are holding a public rally at Nelson City Hall to support the major event in Victoria on Monday, October 22.

“The DefendOurCoast.ca Victoria event is going to be a major rallying point for opposition to bitumen pipelines,” says Keith Wiley from the Kootenay group. “Some of us are going to Victoria to join in, but for those who can’t go, we’re holding a rally here.”

Local events to support the Defend Our Coast action are being planned across BC for Wednesday, October 24. The Nelson rally will be at Noon at City

Hall. There will be reports from the Victoria event, speakers on the issues and musicians.

“We’ll be back from Victoria and we want everyone to come and hear about the event and pick up on the growing energy of this movement to stop giant fossil fuel projects,” Wiley says. The action will be simple: we’ll link arms to symbolize the unprecedented wall of opposition across the province, and say “Defend our Coast” with banners and creative visuals.

Bear Aware and Kootenay Coop Radio co-sponsored a “sing a silly bear song” contest that encouraged people to compose their own song, or adapt an old standard to come up with a song about bears and garbage.

The Wildflower School and their “Bear Aware Song” as the overall winner. Anneke Rosch came second with “Who Cares About Bears” and Heartsong came

third with “Dirty Old Bear”. Prizes included bear-resistant gar-

bage cans and t-shirts. The contest was great fun, but it had a serious objective: make people aware of man-aging garbage so that bears are not drawn to garbage in our community. People can keep garbage indoors or in a secure structure until the morning of collection.

The award announcements and the songs may be heard on Kootenay Coop Radio podcasts (http://koote-naycoopradio.com/index.php?/radio-show/show/kootenay_morning/. The songs are also posted on the Bear Aware Facebook page. www.facebook.comBearAwareBC

PoliceNewsNelson Police respond-

ed to 67 calls over the week-end. Of note:

On Friday, Oct. 12, at approximately 1:25 in the afternoon, Nelson Police officers were alerted to a male causing a disturbance at the government build-ing housing the Ministry of Children and Families and Mental Health. The male fled the offices on Victoria St and was located in the downtown area by Nelson Police officers, but took off running. NPD then received a call from the Nelson Courthouse of the individual causing a distur-bance in the waiting area, confronting lawyers, again yelling and swearing.

The male then ran down Front St. He was located in front of the Prestige Lakeside by a Nelson Bylaw officer who radioed in that the male was brandishing a knife and was making threats against him. Nelson Police officers were on scene as the male took a phone from the spa at Prestige Lakeside and ran towards the mall. He was intercepted by Nelson Police and ran into the field by the mall. At this time he was brandishing a knife and a pair of scissors.

The male was strate-gically struck by a police vehicle to knock him down in order to disarm him and take him into custody. The

male was transported to Kootenay Lake Hospital to be assessed by a doc-tor under the Mental Health Act. He is facing 12 charg-es of threatening, causing a disturbance, and theft.

On Saturday, Oct. 13, at approximately 2:56 am, Nelson Police responded to an assault at Ward and Baker Sts. The victim received severe facial inju-ries and was transported to Kootenay Lake Hospital by ambulance. Two suspects were identified and while one fled on foot, the other, a 21 year old female was taken in to custody. The 29 year old male suspect was located later. Both were charged with Assault Causing Bodily Harm and released on a Promise to Appear with conditions and a first appearance in court set for December 4th, 2012.

On Saturday, Oct. 13, at approximately 3:10 in the afternoon, Nelson Police were flagged down by staff from the Kootenay Co-op as a male had been observed in the store hiding meat on his person in order to leave without paying. The 43 year old male had fled on foot into the lane behind the store. Nelson Police officers intercepted the male in the 400 block Baker, north lane and took him into custody. It was

determined the male had been drinking and was held until he was sober, then released on a Promise to Appear with a court date set for January 8th, 2012.

On Tuesday, Oct. 16 Nelson police officers came across a suspicious male in the downtown. When the officers attempted to engage the male in conversation, the male drove off, briefly evading police. The male, a passenger and his vehicle were soon located hiding nearby. After a brief inves-tigation the male was issued a 24 hour driving suspen-sion for driving under the influence of alcohol and his vehicle was impounded for 24 hours. Further investiga-tion revealed that the male had, within his vehicle, a large quantity of money. The male told police that he had no bank account as his bank card had been missing since he was a child. The male is known to have links with a well known organ-ised crime group. Police believe the male and his companion are involved in the hard drug trade.

On Wednesday, Oct. 17 during the early morn-ing hours the Nelson Police were called upon to assist a burn victim. The male had walked 30 minutes back to Nelson after burning his hands in his rural camp. According to the male he

was attempting to warm his hands by burning Methyl Hydrate fuel in a bowl . The fire he lit in the bowl quickly got out of control causing his rural camp to catch on fire. The male suffered serious burns to his hands and feet requir-ing medical attention. He was treated at the scene by Nelson Fire Rescue Service and transported to Kootenay Lake Hospital by police.

The Nelson Police Department also launched an investigation into a theft of an antique fire-arm. A Colt 1883 pump action rifle, with an octa-gon shaped barrel is miss-ing from Nelson. The fire-arm is quite rare and valu-able. The Nelson Police Department is requesting anyone with informa-tion regarding this firearm to call the Nelson Police Department at 250 354-3919 or Crime Stoppers at 1 800 222-TIPS(8477).

The Nelson Police Department are thank-ful for the caring citizens that often report suspicious drug activity They ask the citizens of Nelson to help protect our city from the ravages of these very harm-ful substances. If you see suspicious activity please don’t hesitate to call.

HealthNewsInspirelife’s cancer care program offers more events

Dr. Teresa Clarke, lead physician, and Paul Paddon, program manager for InspireHealth BC, were in town on October 1st to speak to an enthusias-tic audience about Integrative Cancer Care.

Dr. Clarke shared with the audi-ence her journey to InspireHealth and her realization that in her medical train-ing very little time had been given to showing how to “get well”. Although not an oncologist, she has become a passionate advocate for people being involved in their own medical journey with cancer. InspireHealth has been in Vancouver since 1997 and has now expanded provincially with new cen-tres in Victoria and Kelowna. New centres are planned to open in both Abbotsford and Kamloops and there is also InspireLIFE BC, the organiza-tion’s virtual centre.

Dr. Clarke concluded the evening session with a reference to the adage,

“Listen to your Grandma.” Her advice included many ideas on what we now know is both sage advice and good practice in prevention of cancer or recurrence. “Eat your veggies; take time to relax; have a cup of tea and in particular green tea, one of the most powerful natural antioxidants known; avoid bad fats; cut back on your salt intake; cook your own meals so you know what is in them; avoid foods where you cannot pronounce the name of the ingredients; do not use non-stick cookware; get your exercise - at least 30 minutes a day of moderate exercise such as walking; get good, uninterrupted sleep in a dark room; sing, dance and laugh each day.“

“The cancer journey is not solely about surviving, it is about living and thriving.” If you are interested in being part of the two-day LIFE Program offered by InspireHealth on Thursday and Friday, November 15

Nursing workshop builds better approach to palliative careRural nurses face vast challenges

in delivering palliative care in remote areas. So UBC’s Okanagan campus and Selkirk College are combining forces to provide specialized educa-tion for nurses in remote areas of the Kootenays.

UBC and Selkirk are hosting a two-day workshop on Wednesday and Thursday, October 24 and 25. The workshop is part of the Enhancing Educational Capacity for a Palliative Approach in Rural Nursing at Selkirk College’s Castlegar campus to better

prepare rural nurses in palliative care. Rural nurses have practice chal-

lenges when it comes to delivering specialized care in isolated settings where there are limited resources, says Barb Pesut, Canadian Research Chair in Health, Ethics and Diversity and an associate professor of nursing at UBC’s Okanagan campus.“Many are generalists and feel inadequately prepared when difficult pain man-agement or complicated family issues arise in end-of-life care,” says Pesut.

Pesut’s research focuses on pal-liative care in rural areas. Findings show that an initiative of this nature is highly relevant to rural nurses.

The workshops involve a two-day commitment and follow-up discus-sions. An honorarium will be provided to participants. Registration informa-tion: Barb Pesut, Tel. 250-807-9955, email [email protected] ; or Gail Potter, Tel. 250-365-1340, email: http://selkirk.ca/discover/staff/contact/?staff=10883

Arts&EntertainmentSFU author Clint Burnham gives readingSaturday, Oct. 27, 7:30 p.m. at Nelson’s Oxygen Art Centre, 320 Vernon St. (alley entrance)

Simon Fraser University English professor Clint Burnham, author of a 2011 history of the Vancouver cen-tre of the Kootenay School of Writing, will read from his new book as well as from his own poetry and fiction.

The event, part of Oxygen Art Centre’s Presentation Series, is free and open to the public.

Burnham’s look at the Kootenay School of Writing, called The Only Poetry That Matters and published by Vancouver’s Pulp Press last year, traces the institution from its origins in the aftermath of the B.C. government’s closure of Nelson’s David Thompson University Centre in 1984.

After DTUC closed, a Nelson branch of KSW orga-nized readings and workshops in the Queen City from 1984 until 2011. The Vancouver centre of the institution offered classes, workshops and colloquiums until 1987, after which it became identi-fied with a group of writers who favor a non-narrative, associative style of writing.

The Only Poetry That Matters focuses on a number of writers involvedwith the second phase of Vancouver KSW.

Burnham’s own novel Smoke Show (Pulp Press, 2004) was shortlisted for the 2005 BC Book Prize for Fiction, and his latest book

Entitled “Heron’s Landing”, the 25-foot tall bronze sculpture that was placed along Nelson’s Lakeside Park Pathway this August will be unveiled at a public ceremony. Designed by West Kelowna artist Jock Hildebrand and gifted to the City of Nelson by devel-oper Michael Lobsinger, the sculpture is valued at $210,000.

Already dubbed “The Heron” by many locals,

the sculpture’s new home, on Heritage Inn Point, was selected by public poll.

“The City is very glad to welcome Heron’s Landing to our waterfront,” says City Councillor and Cultural Development Committee (CDC) member Donna Macdonald. “It’s a beauti-ful sculpture, located in a beautiful spot.”

An ingenious farce about the variety of person-alities that congregate on a city bus, the Drama Desk Award-winning production by Axis Theatre Company features six actors playing over 60 larger than life characters who are some-times goofy, occasionally elegant and always hilari-ous. Overall, this is a piece that celebrates the

theatrical. Sitting in a seat becomes a dance, silence becomes music and the audience is transported - taken for a ride on THE NUMBER 14.

Somersaulting old ladies, ballet-dancing busi-nessmen and turbo-talking girl scouts all hitch a ride on one of Vancouver’s real-life bus routes and capture the absurdity and diversity of city dwellers daily commute.

Combining commedia dell Arte, puppetry and music, THE NUMBER 14 is the one bus audiences will want to take again and again and again. And like commedia dell’arte in 16th century Italy, the per-formers use masks to cre-ate larger-than-life char-acters who are instantly recognizable as the people we see every day - the

wealthy and the destitute, the aggressive and the apathetic, strangers and lovers, the kind and the cruel.

“When we gathered together the amazing people who created this show twenty years ago, we never dreamed we would have the longevity to be bringing this unique vehicle to people all over the world.” says Director

Wayne Specht and original Director Roy Surette.

REUBEN AND THE DARK

with special guest

Listen to Reuben and the Dark at: www.reubenandthedark.com

“Bullock’s voice is intimate and im-mediate; note-perfect to deliver his tes-taments and make them resonate. He somehow manages to evoke some of the greatest folk singers without even once sounding imitative.”

- FFWD WEEKLY “The fact that a virtually unknown sing-er can effortlessly draw comparisons to some of the biggest names in roots/folk music today speaks volumes, but the fact he doesn’t ever try to fit into an eas-ily defined label or limit his creativity is what is truly staggering.”

- HERO HILL “He writes sing-along anthems that ebb and flow like the ocean, highway dreams that feel like a big rig in the prai-rie night. His soaring harmonies have a joyous, almost worshipful feel to them. Hearing Reuben Bullock’s expansive vision of the human heart, you can al-most feel the slow-motion wind in your hair, the honest sun on your skin.” - CALGARY FOLK MUSIC FESTIVAL

TheSurvey

Last week’s survey responses:

What percentage of your income do you spend on housing?

IT’S well in excess of 50% when you also include other bills such as water, hydro and common house main-tainence issues.

SURE wish this city had more afford-able housing. It took me 3 years to find a good place with a decent landlord and I still pay 3/4 of minimal income on rent!

TWO of us in a modest Nelson rental each pay 67-70% of our incomes for our rental.

NELSON is very expensive to live. why is that?

I just rent a room in a mobile home. Who needs a big grandiose house?

MORTGAGE plus property tax equals 42% of my net income. Ouch.

AT times I have spent as much as 80% of my income on housing in Nelson

THIS should include heat and sewer/water utlitlies (or is that part of Property Taxes)

INCLUDE utilities, phone, water/sewer/garbage, etc.

HOUSING has always been expensive. People just have to make more money even if it means moving to another city.

USED Mobile homes are affordable for the average person.

WE are more fortunate than some. thank you

WHY do we have to have two incomes in a 4 person family making $50,000 each just to survive?

SAFE, clean affordable housing is difficult to find in Nelson. I worry that my children will be unable to live here. The lack of decent employ-ment and affordable housing is a challenge for youth, seniors, single parents, low income earners and many others

By Nelson Becker

Publisher’s noteMany years

after I had graduated from high school, I was travelling in the Virgin Islands. As I approached the door of the disco, the bouncer looked at me and said,

“Valley Stream”, which is where I grew up as a young child. And then he said, “Nelson Becker”. As I looked at him, absolutely nothing registered in my mind. He could see that I was struggling to identify him, and in his efforts to help me recognize him he

said, “Yeah, we used to beat you up all the time!” There was not one inch of malice in his voice, or retribution or guilt. He was totally unaware of the effect that being bullied had on me, both in the short term and the long term of my life. For him, being a bully was some kind of a game.

I was not able to tell him how upset I was. I wasn’t able to be mad at him because those fights had happened so long ago and he looked truely happy to see me.

I have now come to see bullying in myself and everyone. We all bully in one way or the other, just not to the

same extent. To be able to bully, we must see ourselves as above others. The reality is, none of us are better than anyone else.

The child or adolescent bully has problems that need to be dealt with, not in a punative way, but it a compassionate way. The solution to bullying is to develop a sense of connectedness to each other. In this small world, there is no separa-tion between any of us. When we hurt others, we are hurting ourselves. Let’s not be afraid to acknowledge our own imperfections so that we may move forward.

Bullying is a problem we all must face

Weathering the weather

by Spencer PollardMy Opinion

Weather conditions can at times be less then optimal. The weather can go from warm and sunny to cool with showers in an instant.

The weather is an unpredictable beast that may ruin your day if you don’t take some precautions. The measures needed vary by season and by weather but using common sense as well as some helpful tips will keep you safe.

For starters, check the weather prior to leaving for work or whatever your plans are for the day. I don’t just mean look outside; either watch the Weather Channel or go online. Also make sure that if you plan on driving that you have appro-priate tires and other precautionary measures set in place to make sure your trip is a safe one.

With change in weather comes change in attitude and with change in attitude comes a change in judgement. Think about what you to and when you do it as the climate goes by its own accord and not by your own plans. Plan safe and you’ll be just fine.

Parent concerned about future of school busesDear Editor,

After regular communication with the Director of Operations and the Superintendent for SD8 regarding the late arrival of bussed Trafalgar students I have come to the conclusion that more families need to be aware of some school transportation changes that may be implemented in the next school year.

Out-of-catchment students from Slocan Valley and Bonnington currently being transported by school bus to Nelson area schools (Blewett, Wildflower, Hume, Trafalgar, LVR) may not have access to bussing as of next September. Mr. Brown (Director of Operations) said 100 students would be affected. French Immersion students from this area may catch the bus leaving Beasley if a seat is available (French Immersion is a District program and is not out-of-catchment). The decision to stop out-of-catchment bussing in this area was made in 2009 unani-mously by the School Trustees.

Based on the expected $80,000 generated from the newly implemented out-of-catchment bus riders fee at $200 per student, SD8 estimated there would be 400 out-of-catchment bus riders in the District. If the decision by the Trustees is to stop out-of-catchment bussing then 400 students or 8% of the 4800 students in the District will be without bussing to their current school.

Sincerely,Wendy Cockburn
