This Sunday is one of the year’s most special days. It is the day when we take
time to honor one of God’s most precious gifts to us, our mothers. Did you know
that honoring our mothers is one of the 10 commandments? It reads: “Honor your

On a recent blog post by Confined Space author Deryn Collier, she describes some of the encounters she’s been having since her One Book, One Kootenay shortlisted novel was published. In the Smart Food popcorn aisle on a recent trip to Safeway: Reader: Go home. Deryn: What? Sorry? Are you talking to me? Reader: Yes! I’m talking to you. Aren’t you supposed to be writing? Deryn: Um. Just needed a snack. Reader: And I need to know what happens to Bern. I really think you should be writing. Go home. Right now. Coroner Bern Fortin, protagonist in Confined Space, has that effect on a lot of readers. To find out why — as well as why Collier’s book was chosen by a panel of learned librarians as one of three shortlisted books for 2013’s One Book, One Kootenay recognition — mystery-lovers and others may want to come to a reading by Collier at the Nelson Public Library on Thursday, May 23 at 7:30 p.m. You could also read the book, and in fact the Kootenay Library Federation encourages Kootenay booklovers to read all three shortlisted books, and vote. Also shortlisted is The Dolphin’s Tooth: a Decade in Search of Adventure by Kimberley author Bruce Kirkby, and Never Going Back by Nelson author Antonia Banyard. As the shortlist authors tour select libraries in the Kootenays, the feature reader is joined by co-shortlist authors via video. In Collier’s reading in Nelson, she is joined by Kirkby in a 10-minute film clip, and — as a special bonus — by Banyard in person.

not only need to tell her, but we need to show her every day by the way we treat her, and the things we do for her.

The 2013 Becoming an Outdoors Woman (BOW) Weekend is coming up June 7 to 9 at Camp Koolaree near Nelson. BOW workshops are designed to give women over 19 years of age an opportunity to learn outdoors skills in a relaxed, non-competitive atmosphere. The skills covered in the workshop are normally associated with hunting and angling but are useful for many other outdoor pursuits as well. Accommodation consists of cabins or dormitories that are rustic but still have basic modern amenities. BOW weekends are filled with laughter and a fun, welcoming atmosphere. Participants choose four pre-selected workshops of their choice. This year’s BOW weekend offers a wide variety of courses including: • Handgun shooting • Fly tying and fly fishing • Hunting and game handling • Canoeing • Trap/skeet shooting For more info call Wally at 250-354-2926.

have labored tirelessly
day in and day out. It is you who have been there
to encourage, to put a bandage on a scrape or kiss a boo boo better. It is you, mother, who have loved

You are special
and we honor and thank and precious, and it is
my prayer that God will
bless you on your day, and throughout the year.
