For some residents a return to the three days of peace and music wouldn’t be much of a blast from the past, but a local group is hoping to bring a taste of rock history to Nelson.

Montgomery withdraws in Area F GREG NESTEROFF Nelson Star Reporter
The election for regional director in Area F next month is now a twoway race. Bruce Montgomery withdrew his nomination papers Thursday afternoon, saying he didn’t want to split the vote with challenger and friend Mike Keegan. The two are now teaming up against
incumbent Ron Mickel. Montgomery says he didn’t realize when he filed for director that he and Montgomery would both be after the job. “We basically feel the same way. There was nothing different in our platforms. I’m just against any more taxes or wasteful spending,� he told the Star. “I felt [Keegan] already had a better campaign going and had worked on it a little longer.�

were burglary victims overnight, and the crimes appear related to a spree in Castlegar. The pair each face five counts of break and enter, one count of attempted break and ether, and an asyet-undetermined number of counts of possession of stolen property. Police say an undisclosed
amount of money was taken from each business, and property was also reported missing from two of them. Victims in Castlegar included Joey’s Seafood restaurant, Wine Kitz, Beach Hut, and David Williams and Associates. The suspects were collared after police received a call at 4 a.m. from someone in the
1400 block of Columbia Avenue who said two men in a van appeared to be trying to break into a business across the street. When officers arrived, the pair ran, leaving the van behind. A short time later, an officer spotted and arrested them. The men appeared in court on Friday.

The Crescent Valley Beach, where generations of locals have frolicked along the Slocan River, will soon become the Regional District of Central Kootenay’s newest park. The property’s longtime owners have donated the land to the RDCK, which accepted the offer this month. Slocan Valley regional director Walter Popoff says he’s pleased with the decision. “It is a cornerstone of Slocan Valley culture and hopefully, everyone will have the opportunity to enjoy this property now and forever,� he says. The beach is a popular recreation area, used extensively by residents and tourists for swimming, rafting, and kayaking. The property is 6.4 acres (2.6 hectares). Once the land has been transferred to the RDCK in early spring 2012,
planning will begin to create a new parking lot and safer highway access. Popoff says parking is a key concern — on hot summer days, the existing parking area overflows along the highway shoulder. RDCK planner Monty Horton says the Ministry of Transportation is “pretty keen� to work with them. A risk assessment has also been done to identify potential dangers including old pilings full of nails. “They’re definitely a hazard, but we also recognize that beach may exist because those pilings were there in the first place,� Horton says. The beach is the former site of the Patrick sawmill, which has a direct connection to the birth of professional hockey in BC. Lumber baron Joseph Patrick established the mill there in 1907, and was joined in the business by his sons, hockey

stars Lester and Frank. They sold the mill in 1911 and invested the proceeds in founding the Pacific Coast Hockey Association, which introduced such innovations as the blue line, goal crease, forward pass, and playoff system. Foundations and stone ruins from the mill still remain, in addition to the pilings. Popoff says while the current owner doesn’t mind people crossing their property to use the beach, a subsequent owner might not be so benevolent — hence his desire to see it permanently set aside for public use. “If the property was sold, somebody could have put up a fence and prevented access to the beach,� he says. “It would have been a crying shame. When the opportunity arose, I figured let’s see if we can secure it.� Story continues to ‘Park’ on Page 24

The trustee acting for Meadow Creek Cedar, which is in creditor protection, says the company is getting closer to paying off its outstanding debts. In August, Meadow Creek was granted a 60-day extension by creditors, which expired on October 8. According to trustee Lloyd Murphy, the funds to complete the proposal were confirmed as available prior to that date. However, the holdup on their re“Both the solicitor lease has been the and fifor the company preparation nalization of docuand Canada ments by Canada Revenue Agency Revenue Agency to have now advised remove liens from us that matters the property title. “Both the soliciare progressing...” tor for the company Lloyd Murphy and Canada RevTrustee enue Agency have now advised us that matters are progressing and documentation should be completed this week so that funds can be released,” Murphy said in an email to the Star. Meadow Creek Cedar filed a proposal for creditor protection in early 2009. At the time it owed $427,000 in payroll deductions to Canada Revenue Agency, a secured creditor. Unsecured creditors were owed almost $1.5 million and were to receive 25 cents on the dollar. The proposal was approved that fall. Five out of six payments to the tax collector have since been made, along with three out of four payments to unsecured creditors. However, Meadow Creek defaulted on its final payments, due by the end of April and November 2010 respectively. Canada Revenue Agency is still owed $71,000 and a total of $91,000 is due to over 50 unsecured creditors from throughout BC and Alberta.
An inquest into the death of Ymir’s Sheilah Sweatman has been scheduled for next June 4 to 7 at the Nelson courthouse. Sweatman was part of a recovery operation on the Goat River near Creston with Nelson Search and Rescue’s swift water unit when she died on June 29 of this year. Presiding coroner Mark Coleman and a jury will hear evidence from subpoenaed witnesses to determine the facts surrounding the death, the BC Coroners Service said in a statement. While the jury is not allowed to blame anyone, it will have the chance to make recommendations to prevent similar deaths. Sweatman, 29, was called to the bridge on Highway 21 south of Creston where a vehicle was reported submerged in the river. Police said in an attempt to attach a tow chain to the vehicle, Sweatman went overboard and did not surface. Her colleagues recovered her body the next day, as well

Improper compensation
R
ural British Columbia has once again suffered a blow from the Lower Mainland-centric, top down decision making machine. Last week it was revealed that the local Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program office will be slashed as part of BC Hydro’s scramble to get its books in order. Just like that, six people are out of jobs and one of the Crown corporation’s stellar grassroots programs is shaken. On the compensation program’s website under “principles” it’s stated: “The program has a forward-looking, ecosystem-based approach that defines the desired outcomes and takes actions to restore, enhance and conserve priority species and their habitats.” Cutting local staff who were on the frontlines of these important programs is hardly “forward-looking.” These people had a commitment to the program and were the local faces that proudly represented BC Hydro in our community. The corporation says they will continue to invest the same amount of money in the program’s projects. By shifting the cash to local organizations — who carried out some of this work already — the environmental protection aspect will not be lost. Though we have complete faith in these local organizations to carry out the work, losing the oversight of paid compensation staff does shake the foundation. Too many times government and large corporations issue decrees from their cozy offices in Victoria and Vancouver. Rarely do they step into the hinterland and think about how it impacts communities like ours. With benefits and bonus, outgoing BC Hydro president Dave Cobb made $467,000 last year. The BC Hydro website shows eight senior vice presidents and executive vice presidents for the company and its subsidiaries. These executives each make between $328,000 and $482,000 per year. Perhaps it’s time for BC Hydro to trim the fat in areas other than the ones that provide important value to rural British Columbia. We want to hear from you.

Setting the stage for next term
I
received a phone call the other day from local author Frances Welwood who invited me to her book launch at Touchstones on October 27. Her book is about Annie Garland Foster, Nelson’s first female alderman elected in 1920. Foster would be known as a councillor today and probably as Ms. not Mrs. Foster. This date reminded me that women in BC did not have the right to vote until 1917, meaning that only three years later Annie Foster was elected to council. Frances also informed me that Nelson has elected 19 women to city council since its beginnings over 100 years ago and 15 of us are still kicking around. I’m so very proud to be counted among this number and proud that our country has democratic
elections where citizens can freely choose who will represent them. When I hear and see what is happening in countries like Libya and Egypt it makes it even more important that we continue to exercise our privilege to vote. Speak with your candidates, ask questions and make your choice known on November 19. As cherished as democracy is, it can be tumultuous and messy. Occupy Wall Street came to Nelson last Saturday and I was present along with others on council to hear the speakers. This phenomenon has captured the spirits and minds of people all over the world as people band together to protest greed and destruction. I was given the opportunity to understand more about it on Tuesday of last week when I joined the mayor,
councillor Donna Macdonald and city staff met with a few of the people who continue to occupy the property around city hall. It is their intention to peacefully stay at least until Remembrance Day when they have been asked to vacate and turn over this space to the veterans and others in the community who will gather on that day. The group was respectful and agreed. They are aware that city hall is community property that belongs to everyone. It is their intention host information events and to treat the property with respect as they continue give out their message. We all agreed to meet again this week. Long range planning has been a hallmark of the work this council has undertaken; everything from the downtown waterfront
and sustainability planning to greenhouse gas reduction. The next large piece coming forward will be the recreation master plan through the recreation commission. I’m excited and optimistic about this work as it involves the larger regional community and will assist us in defining and delivering sport, recreation and leisure needs well into the future. A well thought out plan will assist us in the development of our parks and facilities and will provide information on the coming trends that keep our community liveable and healthy. Solid planning also provides a framework to put good proposals into action, something we have needed for a long time. Now that the stage is set, I’m hoping to be a part of those action plans after November 19.

Letters to the Editor
Why is it so difficult?
At a city council meeting earlier this month, a couple of interesting issues on city transit were brought up. Two members of council said they have rethought their decision on Sunday service. This is a good thing at first look, but let’s look a little closer. They are now suggesting creating a Sunday service provided by private or community based organizations, citing that their original decision can not be re-visited because of “provincial legislation.” I cannot imagine a law that would prevent a city council
from reversing a decision. Who would try to create a service when one is already in place? They have buses
It seems council should revisit their original decision and try to find a way to change or override that decision.” available that are not being used on Sundays. Drivers are available that would welcome the extra shifts. Taking these shifts away from transit drivers and of-
fering them to drivers outside the transit system is very unfair and I doubt the union would allow it to happen. With Nelson Transit buses and drivers, licensing, insurance and union co-operation are already in place. It seems council should revisit their original decision and try to find a way to change or override that decision. I am sure that with all political agendas aside council or their legal team can come up with a way to re-instate Sunday service. Clayton McPherson Nelson
Faust’s approach is working Having experienced the former RDCK director for Area E for three terms, I am not pleased to discover Josh Smienk is running again for this position. During all these years he didn’t seem to have much interest for Area E (especially Blewett). There was virtually no communication with his constituents as a whole about RDCK decisions affecting Area E residents. His other interests,
like the Columbia Basin Trust, seemed to take precedent. Some people who needed his advice reported that he did not return phone calls. On the contrary the incumbent director, Ramona Faust, set up an email list after she was voted in, and informed us extensively about relevant issues. In my area, Blewett, she has listened to the concerns of people, worked to find solutions and
informed the community about opportunities and hard decisions. The problems at Morning Mountain were tackled and the community was asked what their priorities are for recreation. Also very exciting is the trial run of bus service throughout Blewett. I hope she will be able to continue her good work! Jake Urech Blewett
From afar I was viewing the Nelson Star photos of the Occupy Nelson rally at city hall on your website. I was instantly struck by an apparent contradiction. My attention was caught by three protest signs in particular and a couple of participants. One sign read “Affordable
Housing for All.” Another read “Let’s be honest, we need our bus service, our bus drivers need full time work. No Privatization.” A third sign read, “Demand Total Change, don’t surrender to rhetoric and promise.” In other photos I could see a Nelson city councillor and the MLA for Nelson-Creston,
both of whom are allowing three acres of crown land in Nelson to be purchased by a Vancouver private developer, and have dragged their feet on public transit even though they both have direct responsibility for these matters. Occupy Nelson, indeed. Donovan Carter Comox

WHAT’S HAPPENING?
ICBC not doing enough for safety The Ministry of Transportation and Highways fleet in the 1970s-era had 2,000 sets of daytime driving lamp operation kits installed. These kits were initially constructed by the founders of Nelson’s Pacific Insight Electronics. As a result of the success of this installation program — aimed at reducing frontal collision accidents in the highways operations fleet — the ministry wrote regulations to have all new vehicles supplied with the units. The United
States has now implemented the same installations on all their new vehicles while being manufactured. Why has ICBC not picked up on this accident prevention tool and provided some incentive for owners of older vehicles to retrofit the installation of daytime running lights? The installations cost approximately $100 and can be completed at any ICBC approved garage. Currently we have 20 per cent of the vehicles operating
on BC highways that do not have daytime running lights installed. There is opportunity to improve highway safety by a simple non-expensive installation of a field tested, tried and true accident prevention tool. ICBC give your head a shake. It’s time for improvements that you have the power to initiate with the carrot and stick approach. Go for it! R. Johnson Nelson

Some Councillors Remain Cold to the Idea
Baseball takes another swing at Lions Park upgrade MEGAN COLE Nelson Star Reporter
The Nelson Baseball Association was back up to bat on Monday night at the city’s committee of the whole meeting as they made a formal presentation for the upgrades of the baseball diamond at Lions Park. The presentation came after heated debate emerged at the October 11 council meeting around the future of the proposal. “We know spring isn’t the time to do this because the field is being used,” said Corbin Comishin who made the presentation with Larry Martel on behalf of the association. “We’ve been waiting, sitting on our hands until fall came.” Comishin said the association, the Lions, city staff and others thought the proposal was going to go forward after the plan was originally pitched in 2010. “Councillor Deb Kozak said
that she said she hadn’t heard anything about the proposal. We came forward immediately because we didn’t want to blindside anyone,” said Comishin. “It slipped through the crack somehow. We don’t know how, we’re not blaming anyone. We don’t want this project held back for another year.” But during comments from councillor Robin Cherbo and the public, it appeared communication with neighbours surrounding the park slipped through the cracks as well. Cherbo said he visited the neighbourhood and knocked on a few doors and discovered several people hadn’t heard of the association’s plans for Lions Park. Even though some members of the public expressed concerns around parking, safety to other park users and exclusive use of the park by baseball players, most were upset they hadn’t been included in the process from the beginning.
Drawings of the proposed changes to Lions Park that would include an enhanced playing surface and other amenities.
“I’m against this proposal for a lot of reasons,” said Mike Morrison, a concerned neighbour of the park. “I was not too pleased with the process. I had no idea that this was going on. “I don’t think this proposal can be considered without taking something away. This is the only park for Uphill. For every kid that is thrilled to use the field for baseball there is a kid
who won’t be able to do what they want to do. Even though it’s only 10 hours a week it’s too much exclusive use for baseball folks.” During the meeting the association clarified their plan. Currently there is a baseball diamond at Lions Park where players 10 and under practice for six hours a week. But the association said the
diamond is unfit for use for games. The construction plans include: a new backstop and foul line fencing, enclosed dugout benches, new infield grass with crushed brick base paths and pitcher’s mound, irrigation for the grass, an extension to the splash park shed for equipment storage and tree removal Councillor Bob Adams asked what the cost of the project would be for the city. Martel said the only cost would be tree removal. Mayor John Dooley asked that council pass a recommendation that the proposal be referred to city staff. Councillor Donna Macdonald added an amendment to the recommendation that hours of operation be looked at for the park. Councillor Deb Kozak who was not present at Monday’s meeting, met with the association last week as part of the recreation commission along with Dooley and Stacey.

Rural Slocan home partly forfeited in drug case Nelson Star Staff
A rural Slocan man has been jailed nine months for growing pot and the house where the plants where seized partially forfeited to the Crown. The order this month by a judge in Nakusp Provincial Court will see a half-interest in the Springer Creek Road property turned over to the government as proceeds of crime. Slocan Lake RCMP searched the property on December 30 and discovered two buildings with grow-ops. They found 53 plants, each producing nearly 1.5 lbs. of bud. A loaded, unsecured 9 mm handgun was also recovered from inside the home. Gordie Radatzke pled guilty to drug production for the purpose of trafficking and in addition to the jail sentence received a lifetime firearms ban. “This investigation illustrates the enforcement efforts by the Slocan Lake detachment over the past year and a half,” Cst. Shaun Foley said in a news release. “During this time, members have successfully executed 16 drug warrants in the Slocan Valley, and have secured charges in at least as many.” Foley adds they have also executed two projects targeting outdoor growers. “These projects are important initiatives because outdoor cultivators typically feel they can operate with impunity. However, police efforts like these prove otherwise.” Foley says it’s not the only case where drug offences have resulted in property forfeitures. Restraint orders have been placed on others, and in January a judge ordered $15,000 cash seized during an outdoor grow-op investigation to be turned over to the Crown. “A recent drug investigation also revealed a house in Winlaw contained a clandestine lab. It was using a dangerous extraction technique where isopropyl alcohol is used to extract weed oil from marijuana plant material,” Foley says. “Moreover, in the past year members have seized a loaded
firearm or firearm within arm’s reach of ammunition in seven drug investigations.” He says the presence of guns is not rare, since many growers are at risk of being ripped off by rivals. “Many grow rips occur in the form of home invasions which typically involve forcefully breaking into a home, whether the occupants are there or not, to steal the drugs. Cultivators, therefore, often protect themselves using the most reliable means: guns and other weapons.”
Weapons seized from Winlaw home
A 47-year-old man has been sentenced to three months in jail after police busted a cache of weapons at a home in Winlaw last week, including guns and crossbows. RCMP officers from the Slocan Lake, Nakusp and Nelson detachments executed a search warrant on Kazakoff Road after hearing that the accused had an illegal rifle. Christopher Eldon Judd was arrested at the scene. Foley says a search of the house uncovered a loaded SKS semiautomatic rifle with an attached bayonet and beside it, a wooden military style imitation rifle painted black. “Numerous rounds of ammunition for the SKS rifle were found through the house, including a stripper clip with nine live rounds,” Foley says. “Two cross-bows and a three-foot (one metre) sword were found in the main bedroom.” The search also uncovered about half a pound of packaged marijuana, an electronic scale, score sheet, and about eight grams of hashish. Judd was charged with possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking, possession of hashish, unauthorized possession of a firearm, and unsafe storage of a firearm. He was remanded in custody and on Thursday pled guilty to three of the four counts and received a 90-day jail sentence to be served intermittently. He also received a probation order and a firearms ban.

FRANCES WELWOOD BOOK LAUNCH
Nelson historian Frances Welwood has written a rather special biography of a unique and intriguing Canadian woman, Annie Ross Garland Foster (1875-1974). Passing Through Missing Pages (Caitlin Press), will be launched at Touchstones on Thursday, October 27 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. By the time Annie Foster was elected Nelson’s first woman city councillor in 1920, this extraordinary woman had graduated from university in her native New Brunswick and taken on challenges from teaching in rural Saskatchewan and BC schools to nursing in military hospitals in Britain during World War I. A war widow herself, Annie championed the needs of the war’s widows and fatherless children locally and nationally. A burdensome sense of justice led Annie into a very personal, 20-year struggle and investigation involving sensational criminal trials at Nelson’s courthouse. Meanwhile she eked out a living and travelled back and forth across Canada researching and writing legal and inquiring psychological petitions to penal officials, the first biography of Canada’s Mohawk Princess poet Pauline Johnson and her own charming, but mysterious memoir. What a legacy Mrs. Foster left her adopted city. Foster Place in Fairview is her only memorial in Nelson.

The Funk Hunters In just a few short years, The Funk Hunters have built an international following, releasing music on labels around the globe and showcasing their signature high-energy DJ sets at some of the world’s most popular music festivals and clubs. The duo (Dunks and The Outlier) first teamed up because of a mutual love for “hunting” good music, and today this passion still rings true as they continue to champion the simple but often lost idea that the music itself comes first, regardless of attachments to genre. The Funk Hunters name is now in high demand, receiving bookings, accolades, and remix requests from all corners of the electronic music scene. Local boys Craig Mullin and Justin Pleasure will be playing saucy house music in the back room with Sijay on visuals for the night. Tickets are $15 in advance and doors open at 10 p.m.

Elliott BROOD will release their third full-length in Canada on September 27 on Paper Bag Records. Days Into Years was produced by the band and John Critchley at Avening Town Hall and Park Side Drive Studios. During their first European tour back in 2007, Elliott BROOD found themselves with five days to reach Barcelona from Amsterdam. They chose to take the back roads on the southward journey and they soon found themselves winding their way through the Belgian and French coastal landscapes. They were drawn to the picturesque seaside ports, quaint villages and secluded fields in the countryside, where they were compelled to stop and explore. They visited historical battlefields and cemeteries along the way, all culminating in an early morning stop at Juno Beach. Not until weeks later, caught in the midsummer Paris rush hour traffic, did the band begin to discuss the effects of that journey. As they reflected upon their experiences, they came to an understanding that they would one day write an album that was inspired and influenced by that five-day trip. Days Into Years is that album. Tickets now on sale at the Hume Hotel and are $20. Doors open at 10 p.m.
Cuff the Duke Cuff the Duke returns to The Royal stage with their indie rock influenced blend of traditional country and folk music. These guys are a real treat. Having toured and shared the stage with some of Canada’s greatest musicians, Cuff the Duke are becoming bonafide Canadian music icons themselves. Co-produced by Blue Rodeo’s Greg Keelor, the band’s fourth album Way Down Here features their most mature, captivating and impressive collection of songs to date. The up-and-coming indie pop ensemble Hooded Fang will open the show along with Fernie’s, Shred Kelly. Doors open 8 p.m. Tickets $10 available at Royal Espresso, liveattheroyal.com and Eddy Music.

He plans to keep learning and one day, make a living with his music. Next up is Mountain Station, who will brighten your day with their high energy bluegrass and folk music. They will feature fiddler Paul Holitzki, guitarist Billy Jones, mandolinist Roger Luckey and banjoist Steve Garth both doubling on dobro, all supported by David Feldman’s driving upright bass. They will perform a wide range of music, from sweet ballads to rollicking Irish jigs and reels. Closing act is Mara Sand and Grant Freeman, performing some light jazz, blues, R&B covers and originals by Mara. She has performed solo, with duos and groups on guitar, sung with various choirs and has been recently involved with the White Lightning Blues Band. Grant teaches music in Fruitvale, currently plays keyboards with Trail’s 18 piece dance band Swingsations and will sometimes sit in with White Lightning Blues Band.

They are intelligent, articulate, studied, thoughtful, violent, passionate, intense, playful, acclaimed by peers and adored by fans.

Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 day of show available atliveattheroyal.com, Royal Espresso and Eddy Music.

n 1980, Marcia Braundy became the first woman to join the Carpenters’ Union in BC. She did a four-year apprenticeship, sat on labour task forces, and was national co-ordinator for a women in trades network that tried to get more women involved in industry — all of which gave her special insight into on-the-job gender relations. “I have a very unique and broad perspective on initiatives to increase the participation of women and the resistance and impedance they have encountered along the way,” she says. For all of the equity initiatives, Canadian women still account for less than three per cent of all tradesworkers. Braundy wanted to know why. The Vallican resident did a PhD dissertation based in part on a group interview with four tradesmen that she turned into a short play and has now published as a book, Men & Women and Tools: Bridging the Divide that was launched this past Saturday at the Val-

lican Whole. Braundy’s play took dialogue directly from her twohour interview with a mechanic, machinist, and two carpenters, who were asked about male resistance to women in trades. “The thoughts, ideas, words and statements that came out of that interview were so vital, representative, and heartrendingly provocative that I decided it was not up to me to interpret what was being said, but I did need to reflect it back,” she

says. “In the process I hoped to develop an emotional understanding of the issues from all sides.” The play was performed at the Brave New Play Rights Festival at the University of BC, and the script is included in the book. Braundy says while she cleaned up the speech, she didn’t change anyone’s words. Nor did she steer the open-ended discussion in any particular direction.
“It’s heartfelt, meaningful, and there’s not a mean bone in the discussion. But the ideas have a quality of misogyny — patriarchal privilege that needs to be deconstructed.” The men, who ranged in age from 34 to 56, were of similar minds. Braundy found it more fascinating than discouraging. “I took each line of the play and looked at it historically, sociologically, and psychologically,” she says. “How could they come to these words? Because I am one of them, they were all willing to be who they were. And because I am one of them, I have the right to examine that culture, and challenge them.” The men, whom she drew from her wider pool of acquaintances, were chosen for their trades and willingness to talk, but she didn’t know what they were going to say. Those who later saw the play didn’t recognize themselves in it. “One guy said ‘Wow, this should be shown on the worksite.’ Even with men who see themselves Story continues on Page 13

Cont. from Page 12 as progressive, their actions are sometimes not so progressive. You see their internal struggle with their training and socialization and habits. “They’re fine men, who I respect. But these are the words that came out of their mouths, even when they thought they were being progressive.” Braundy further explores the roots of male resistance. Among the underlying themes she identified: the need to be essential, to be in control, to be the breadwinner, and a deep fear of being asked to change. The book then asks about finding a resolution. Here, Braundy is optimistic. “I think the culture has changed to give men a little more willingness,” she says. “I think the book is coming out at a good time.”

es, it’s fall and Halloween is almost here. Most of us have wonderful memories of Halloween; the excitement of trick or treating, parties, games, collecting for UNICEF and way too much candy. It was all so much fun! As parents we want to keep the fun and joy of Halloween, and we can, even though we may have concerns about nutrition, safety or getting caught up in “costume anxiety.” So here are some thoughts and ideas to make Halloween with young children a great experience. About costumes: Many parents become very anxious about getting their children the perfect costume, myself included. When my daughter was five she was a flower girl, and wore a gorgeous red satin and lace dress, which she loved. For Halloween that year she decided she wanted to be a Flamenco Dancer and wear that dress. Great — all she needed was the big high head piece — not that big a deal, I thought, until I realized that I had to make it. Now I am seriously bad at sewing but I had to try. I got red thread, red satin, cut out a shape for the

high piece and proceeded to try to sew it. As Halloween approached my panic grew. I just couldn’t get it right. Finally in desperation I grabbed the stapler and probably used 200 staples to make it stand up right and fit on her head. I thought it looked ridiculous. She absolutely loved it. It was a good lesson for me: I had imposed a “costume standard” on myself that just wasn’t necessary. A little letting go of expectations and a little imagination go a long way. Most children under six have fairly straightforward ideas about who they’ll be for Halloween: princesses, witches, fairies, super heroes, animals etc. Their ideas about costumes are pretty simple. Sparkles on a skirt, a decorated towel for a cape, some face paint and you’re there. So don’t feel pressured to get a perfect costume. About trick or treating: You can actually present trick or treat as a time for sharing with, and receiving from others. Because that is really what happens. If you include your children for part of the evening in giving out treats to trick or treaters, they’ll see the sharing aspect. They can put the
goodies in children’s trick or treat bags and say “Happy Halloween.” And if you accompany them to the door when they go trick of treating, you can teach them about how to be polite, be patient and to always say thank you. This way they can learn a lot about how to receive graciously. Remember that for very young children a visit to two or three neighbours or relatives is more than enough. Then home to give out goodies to other children, or right into regular bedtime routine. For children four and up, you can go a for a little longer, but watch for signs of tiredness and overstimulation. If they start getting cranky, they’ve had enough. About candy: If you are concerned about sugar overload, you can set a non-sugar treat example, by giving out healthy snacks or little pres-
ents like raisin boxes, crayons, pencils, tiny animal figures, vehicles, etc. There are also a number of tried and true tricks parents play with younger children’s treats. Young children have no idea about what and how much they actually collected, so you can do a quick switcheroo and replace their candy with either healthy snacks or little presents. Older children catch on after a while and it’s harder. But you can often do a serious trade with older children trading candy for small gifts. You can structure Halloween in a way that works for you and your family. Keep it fun, low pressure and as healthy as you can. Happy Halloween!

This summer the Mickel Atkinson family had the opportunity to go to Ethiopia to experience their girls’ birth country. “When we brought our daughters home to Nelson three years ago we always planned to take them back,” says Tam Mickel. “It was important to us because it was not their choice to leave Ethiopia. It’s a part of who they are and we feel they should have the opportunity to know and experience it as they grow.” After spending two and a half months travelling and

immersing themselves in a culture that’s become so much a part of their Nelson lives, they’ve decided to share their experience by putting on a photo show presentation. Part proceeds will be donated to Vulnerable Children’s Society (vulnerablechildren.ca) which is an organization that helps children and families in Ethiopia. “Though more people than ever need help right now due to the current drought and famine in the Horn of Africa, Ethiopia is an amazing and diverse country, rich in ancient cultures and traditions,” says Mickel.
She has also published a book of photos and information about Ethiopia with part proceeds going to the same organization. The book can be viewed and purchased at blurb.com/ my/book/detail/2529030 . The show will be held at L.V. Rogers fine arts theatre this Saturday. Ethiopian fair trade items, door prizes and more will be available. Tickets are $10 and are available at Nasmyth, Morrow & Bogusz law office at 465 Ward Street or at the door. Doors open at 7 p.m., show starts at 7:30 p.m. Seating is limited.

From the Hallways of L.V. Rogers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cam Olson
Great start to school year
T
he 2011-12 school year has arrived, and L.V. Rogers High School is presented with an abundance of new opportunities, students, and staff members. With a brand new grade entering, the hallways are scattered with fresh young faces, along with the older more accustomed LVR representatives. Anxious excitement seems to illuminate from almost all students as they get introduced to their semester courses, and are reacquainted to classmates not seen through the summer vacation. Adventurous summer stories reverberate through the corridors, which are once again alive with activity. The addition of a brand new principal to the LV administration, Tim Huttemann, makes students thrilled about introducing themselves, as he has a friendly and inviting personality. Vice principals Mr. Marisco and Mr. Mushumanski agree that Huttemann is a well experienced principal, and a social and highly comical person. Huttemann has a background at Stanley Humphries in Castlegar where he led the school with
the same enthusiasm that he brings to LV. He is often found wandering into classes and quietly listening in on the lessons, as he believes it is important for him to know the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s curriculum. With courses decided, the teachers have prepared the termâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outline and the first units have begun. Some students are finding it harder than others to get back to the regular school routine, as their minds still remain in summer mode, but soon as the weeks progress, the days will become more ordinary and classroom focus will return. The LV rugby team has advanced its experience by offering all committed players to join Rugby Academy. This new opportunity will be quite similar to the other academies proposed, such as soccer and dance with the teams meeting for mid-day practices during school. Mr. Joyce, head coach of the LVR rugby team, is confident that the new academy will drastically improve the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance, and proclaims that they are going in a positive direction. The players say that
they enjoy the extra practice time, and that Rugby Academy is a perfect installment to the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic department. They have been following a specific guideline, covering all aspects of the sport, with many new techniques that the players have never used, and they are excited to test them out when the spring season approaches. Along with a new principal and sports additions, the school has also installed four security cameras around the school. The cameras were put up to stop the spread of vandalism which tolled in at over $10,000 in damages last year. As for the new grads, the students are shaking down old rivalries which once, as all grades experience, results in a lack of cooperation and community between
them. With the realization that this will be the final high school year, the majority of the 12s have dropped their immature nature, and the grade has a new sense of unity that has not been seen throughout all 11 prior years. The opinion that the more connected the grade is the more fun and organized the grad activities will be is shared fully, and there are rarely any

some of the performers are still alive next year,” said McNally with a laugh. The show would also
be good timing, according to McNally, because it’s the weekend following the Shambhala Music Festival at the Salmo River Ranch. “I don’t think there is any real reason why it wouldn’t work,” he said. “The weekend after Shambhala, there’s lots of people milling about. It would be easy to get 3,000 to 5,000 people. It would give Nelson a summer music festival. There is no reason why we couldn’t use Lakeside Park for an event like this.” The only major roadblocks to the Heroes of Woodstock making a stop in Nelson would be security and a venue.
McNally said he’s been speaking with Nelson Police Department Sgt. Howie Grant and will continue to work with them if the show moves forward. As a venue Lakeside Park was suggested by the society, but Mayor John Dooley suggested the society look at using the airport. Acting mayor Margaret Stacey joked that Lakeside Park would be filled with 5,000 music lovers over the age of 65. Dooley said, “I hope that you have a lot of toilets.” The proposal was referred to City of Nelson staff and council.
TOUCH OF VICTORIAN ELEGANCE A turreted upstairs room and a roundel window lend the exterior of this two storey, threebedroom family home a touch of Victorian elegance. Inside, however, everything is as upto-date as a contemporary family could wish. Entry is through a covered porch and into a compact foyer. A coat closet is situated on the right, just past the door to the den, which includes a closet and could serve as a spare bedroom or home office. The rest of the ground floor is unfinished, although a three-piece bathroom has been roughed in, and could be used as an in-law suite or extra sleeping space. Up a flight of stairs is the main floor — really the second floor. To the left is a combined great room-dining area. The great room features a bayed-out area under the turret and a fireplace, while the dining area has an optional built-in buffet. The family cook will appreciate the kitchen’s L-shaped counter configuration, capacious pantry and work island with seating for snacks and casual meals. The kitchen also enjoys access to a covered deck, the perfect spot for the barbecue, and a sundeck beyond. Under the sundeck is a covered patio accessible from the ground floor. On the other side of the main floor are the bedrooms. The master suite is reached from the stairway through an angled corridor flanked by two walk-in closets. The ensuite features a soaker tub and a corner shower stall. Two more bedrooms enjoy easy access to a sky lit bathroom, which encloses the linen closet. A laundry room is nearby.

Join the Fight Against Cancer
Get in the Movember spirit Special to the Nelson Star
Okay everyone, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to get your Mo on and show the world that you care about fighting one of our fiercest killers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; cancer. The Kootenay Army for Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Health is bringing Nelson its very first Movember Extravaganza. They are a group of local individuals, male and female, who have come together under the banner of Movember Canada to raise money and awareness for menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health issues, specifically cancers affecting men. Cancer is the leading cause of death in men and in 2011 there will be more cases of prostate cancer diagnosed
than breast cancer. Movember Canada is part of a worldwide movement that has helped to raise millions of dollars dedicated to cancer research. Last year nearly 119,000 Canadian Mo Bros and Mo Sistas joined this event that is rapidly gaining momentum to raise $22.3 million. As a Mo Bro you will effectively become a walking, talking billboard for the 30 days of November. Through your actions and words, you will help to raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health. If you want to join the fight to stop cancer, and have some fun doing it, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what to do:

Despite efforts from the Nelson Leafs to keep momentum in their favour, the Summerland Steam stole a one goal lead in the third period giving them a 6-5 win in Sunday afternoon’s game at the Nelson and District Community Complex. “I didn’t feel like our lines were connecting and we just weren’t getting the chances,” said Leafs forward Dallon Stoddart. “The Steam are a team that we shouldn’t be losing to and that’s just going to be a lesson on the year that that’s not the game we want to play.” The Leafs were the first to get on the board on Sunday with a powerplay goal by KIJHL rookie Nik Newman, but the lead didn’t last long and
the Steam scored their first of the afternoon by Josh Spence. Despite a lot of close calls followed by gasps from anxious Leafs fans, the game remained tied going into the second period. Both teams powered back and forth to the net and the Leafs led the game in shots on net, but the Steam took the lead in the second period when Jordan McCallum poked the puck into the net past Nelson starter Patrick Defoe. Less than a minute later, Colton Schell snuck the puck past Steam goalie Sam Bass to tie the game for the second time. But the Steam grabbed the lead with a nice top shelf marker by Spence. Newman came back two minutes later to score his second goal with assists by Schell and Max Mois.
The game was once again tied going into the third period and it was the Leafs who took the lead when James Sorey beat Bass. Minutes later KIJHL leading scorer and Leafs vet Patrick Martens scored his first goal of the night giving his team a two goal lead. But shortly after Martens’ marker, momentum shifted towards the Steam with a shorthanded goal by Colin Minardi. The Steam went on to score three more goals leading to the win. Stoddart said even though he was in the stands due to injury for the last face-off between the Steam and the Leafs a week ago, he noticed a difference in the way the Leafs played.

Rockies no match for Leafs MEGAN COLE Nelson Star Reporter
The Nelson Junior Leafs faced off against the struggling Columbia Valley Rockies on Saturday night and despite a small comeback in the second period by the East Kootenay squad, the locals dominated the game, taking home a 7-2 win. Sporting their new jerseys, the Leafs came out strong in the first period with an early goal from Carson Willans with an assist from team captain Tyler Parfeniuk. Despite low numbers of shots on net, Nelson kept the momentum and Leafs call-up Cole Arcuri scored the second goal of the night. Minutes after Arcuri’s marker, Leafs veteran Colton Malmsten gave his team a three goal lead going into the second period with a shorthanded tally. For the first half of the second frame the Leafs and the Rockies battled it out but were unable to get the puck into the net, until confusion emerged in front of the Leafs net leading to the first goal by the Rockies. With just over a minute left in the
Columbia Valley had to resort to hooking, but even that couldn’t slow the Leafs down on Saturday night. Megan Cole photo
second period the Rockies cut the lead to one when Jayson Cannell shot the puck high into the back of the net past Leafs starter Patrick Defoe. It looked like the score would be 3-2 going into the third period, but as the buzzer rang Leafs fans erupted in cheers as Malmsten scored a goal with one second on the clock. The Leafs kept their momentum in
the third period as Malmsten scored his hat trick goal with assists from Dallon Stoddart and Linden Horswill. Minutes later California native Nik Newman gave the Leafs a three goal cushion. Red hot Patrick Martens closed out the scoring for the Leafs with a shorthanded goal with just over three minutes left in the final period.

Stopped Short Former Nelson Junior A Leaf Nyjer Morgan will have to wait for his shot at a World Series ring. Morgan and his Milwaukee Brewers lost the National League Championship series 4-2 to the St. Louis Cardinals last week. Morgan played left wing with the Leafs during the 1997-98 season where in 34 games he scored four goals, added seven assists and led the team with 177 penalty minutes. That season the Leafs played in the Rocky Mountain Junior Hockey League.
Leafs won’t dwell on Summerland loss
Continued from Page 21 “We were moving the puck really well and we were getting the shots and lots of the shots were going in and the goalie just couldn’t get to it,” he said. The Leafs defeated the Steam 9-2 on October 14. The game on Sunday was much different than the one played on Saturday night against the Columbia Valley Rockies (see story on page 22). “Our team played really well against the Rockies,” said Stoddart. “We were moving the puck really well and when we’re moving it well we open up lanes and we get really good opportunities to score.” The Leafs are headed back on the road and will face the Creston Valley Thunder Cats on Friday night in Creston. “We’re in it together. We just have to keep on resting and eating well. We’re not too bad out on the road. We get the job done usually,” said Stoddart. “Creston can put up a hard team and they’re doing decent right now. If we do well we’ll be okay.” Even though Stoddart is confident that the Leafs will play well on the road, he said there’s no place like home. “It’s always better to play at home. The smiles on the guys’ faces when we’re winning, it’s a lot better,” he said.

Park development will take time Continued from Page 3 Popoff says the negotiations played out over the last year and a half, and required Agricultural Land Commission approval. He says the owner, who will receive a tax receipt, was “really nice to deal with, very gentleman-like. I was surprised they donated the whole 6.4 acres. I was expecting maybe one or two acres.” Popoff, who grew up in the Slocan Valley, says the beach hasn’t changed much since he was a kid — and his intent is to leave it mostly as is, but possibly add some amenities, including washrooms and picnic tables. He’s hoping students at nearby Mount Sentinel Secondary might participate in the planning process. “It’s going to be slow because there are no funds to do
it. We’re going to have to go out and find funds to develop it.” The regional district estimates the initial capital costs, including surveying, subdivision, washrooms, and parking, will be in the range of $60,000 to $80,000. Annual maintenance is expected to be $13,000 to $20,000. Popoff also wants to explore the possibility of declaring the beach a historic site and erecting a plaque or sign about the Patrick mill and the famous family that built it. Horton, the regional district planner, has prepared a purpose and operations statement for the park, which is now available online. He says they are also thinking about naming the park afRemnants from the old Patrick ter the Patricks, but need the sawmill, which has a direct family’s blessing first. For now, it will be known as link to the birth of pro hockey Crescent Valley Beach Park. in BC, are still on the site.
