TEDx event invites West Kootenays communi-ty to consider: “What does it take for youth to thrive”

TED is about sharing ideas that are trying to shape our world. It’s a global com-mons where people are find-ing voices of innovation and inspiration. Over the past few years cities around the world have begun hosting independently organized events, licensed by TED. From New York to Tokyo, from New Delhi to Helsinki,

cities are highlighting voices of inspiration in their own communities through TEDx events.

What’s fantastic about these events is that we get to celebrate the inge-nuity and insight that sur-rounds us here in the West Kootenays. SelfDesign High will be hosting the 3rd annual TEDx event for the Nelson area on Saturday November 17th. Our theme this year:what do youth need to thrive?

What do we mean by Thrive? We mean experi-encing a healthy connection to self and world amidst at times overwhelming obsta-cles. By healthy we mean a sense that one can have a positive impact, can make a difference, care for rela-tionships with self, others and the world. It suggests a sense of drive and enthu-siasm for initiating and/or engaging in actions in the world, however big or small, local or far reaching.

The event this year will return to it’s original home at the Nelson Legion Building in the Common Room. As seating is lim-ited to 100, organizers ask that you reserve your seats by sending an email to [email protected] with Subject Line: “TEDx SDH Seat Reservation” Please indicate the number of seats you would like to reserve (up to 4).

Selkirk College Gala 2102 to celebrate international studentsSaturday Nov. 24, 6 p.m. at Mary Hall on the Tenth Street campus

What constitutes a gala? The Merriam-Webster dic-tionary gives two defini-tions: a festive celebration, a public entertainment marking a special occasion, or a medium-sized apple

with crisp yellowish-white sweet flesh and a red skin or a golden skin with red strip-ing. Selkirk College decid-ed to go with the festive celebration to showcase stu-dents’ talent, some of which

is creating an amazing meal with apples, sometimes even a gala apple.

This year’s theme, College Without Borders, will demonstrate how diverse Selkirk is, not only in the community but around the world. Selkirk International delivers pro-grams and supports students coming to the Kootenay region from around the world to learn English as a second language or study at Selkirk College in one of our many programs. Selkirk’s international part-ners provide opportunities for Selkirk students to study or complete a work term or practicum internationally.

The proceeds from this year’s silent auction will help fund scholarships and

bursaries aiming to sup-port Selkirk College stu-dents who take part in an international experience as a part of their studies, pro-mote academic excellence and intercultural leadership, and provide international students, who demonstrate financial need, the chance to study at Selkirk College.

This year’s Gala will represent the cultural diver-sity of Selkirk students in art, music, and food. The silent and live auction will be as diverse as the exquisite 4 course meal. Tickets are $70 per person or $520 for a table of 8. To purchase tick-ets or for more information please call 250-365-1360 or email [email protected]

Come help design a school playground Tuesday, Nov. 20, 7pm Wildflower School, 811 Stanley Street

Wildflower School, a public school operat-ing out of the Central Education Centre, will be holding a design brain-storm/consultation. This is a first step in design-ing their new playground area. They have been awarded a $50,000 grant from the BC government for a playground upgrade, which will be supplement-ed by additional grants and fundraising.

‘Basically, we need a new playground because the existing structure is very old and is not able to be repaired adequately’ says

Naomi Ross, principal of Wildflower School. ‘The playground is heavily used by many local user groups both during the school week and on the weekends. Our vision is to create a com-munity playground that will meet the needs of all our users.’

Grand ideas will be dreamt up for the school yard, by small teams con-sisting of parents, designers, and community members. If you would like to attend, please RSVP to Wildflower School, 250-505-7020.

Phone scammers posing as computer techs target Nelson PoliceNews

On Tuesday, Oct. 31 at 11:49 p.m. Nelson Police received notice of an alarm at the abandon Mount St Francis hospital. The Constables chased sev-eral young adults from the building and caught them nearby. They were all forthcoming in admitting their involve-ment and were only trying to have a Halloween adventure in the old build-ing. The young adults will be diverted from the court system. An alternative punishment will be sought for their actions, as they have no history of this kind of behavior.

On Thursday, Nov. 1 a resident

at a local apartment complex took in an intoxicated homeless male as he was cold and wet from the rain. Unfortunately her good deed became a nightmare when the male became rude and aggressive once inside her apart-ment. She managed to talk him out of her home and into the hallway. A short time later he threatened to kill her as she passed by him. Nelson Police members attended and took the 40 year old male into custody without incident. The male was remanded into custody for court in Nelson Monday, Nov. 5 to answer to charges of uttering threats and breach-

ing a no-alcohol release condition.On Thursday, Nov. 1 at 9:15 p.m.

a Nelson Police Constable driving in the 100 block Anderson St narrowly avoided striking a make walking on the roadway. He turned around to investigate why this person was in the roadway. The male was found to be under in the influence of drugs and in breach of a court imposed curfew. He was taken into custody and held for court in Nelson to answer to the charge of breaching his probation.

Nelson Police Reports: Halloween adventurers, breach of releases

Recently the Nelson Police has received many calls regarding a phone scam. Scammers are calling residents in Nelson, posing as computer secu-rity pros from Microsoft, who claim that you are at risk for a computer security threat and offer to help you solve the problem. The caller will ask for specific information about your computer and will gain remote access to your computer under the guise of

combatting the threat. The scammers appear to be tar-

geting people in Canada, the United States, Ireland and the UK. Nelson Police would like to warn residents about responding to this phone scam. The caller is not from Microsoft and with the specific information requested can compromise your computer securi-ty, steal identity, access bank accounts and use credit card numbers.

If you receive a call from someone stating they want to fix your com-puter, Nelson Police advise everyone to be wary of these calls relating to computer security issues, not to give any personal information over the phone, and not to follow instructions from a caller who calls out of the blue claiming you have security issues.

The flu shot again?!

This week’s guest columnist is Dr. Shawna Hiley (visiting from Toronto, ON).

Thanks to TV shows like CSI we hear lots about DNA these days ... we know that it carries the information that is respon-sible for parents passing on certain traits to their children, and we know that it is amazingly insensitive to degradation (remember Jurassic Park where they

‘recreated’ dinosaurs from ancient DNA?). We do not hear so much about DNA’s less stable cousin, RNA.

My typical response when asked for a definition of RNA is that it is ‘kinda like DNA, only different’. I guess I could expand: the ‘D’ in DNA stands for ‘deoxy’ (as in deoxyribo-nucleic acid); RNA is short one oxygen atom and is sim-ply ‘ribonucleic acid’. This missing oxygen causes small structural but big chemi-cal differences between the cousins. RNA is much more sensitve to mutation and degradation than DNA is,

and although it is capable of carrying genetic informa-tion, it isn’t a reliable way to maintain a genome over many generations.

So nature has assigned RNA many alternative roles in the cell, many of which have to do with the build-ing of proteins programmed by DNA sequence. But the capabilities of RNA do not stop there! Some plants and fungi have RNA molecules that are themselves able to catalyze chemical reactions. The existence of these ‘ribo-zymes’ has lead to specu-lation that RNA predated both DNA and proteins in

an ancient world because of its abilities to act a car-rier of genetic information and to perform chemical reactions in the cell.

Some viruses (includ-ing those that cause the flu and AIDS) are made entirely of RNA. The unstable nature of RNA as a genetic material is the reason that these viruses are constantly changing, and why vaccine devel-opment for these diseases is so tricky. So, the next time you are wondering why you have to get a flu shot AGAIN this year, just thank RNA.

Jean-Rene Leduc Celebrates 20 years of teaching Aikido in NelsonAfter 5 years in Japan

studying the martial art known as Aikido, Jean-Rene Leduc began opening train-ing centres, known as dojos, in Nelson and throughout the Kootenays. Although the organization grew as his senior students began to open their own dojos in Slocan, Victoria and St. John’s Newfoundland, he chose to kick off the 20th

Anniversary celebration by bringing his teacher from Japan, the master Takeda Shihan to teach a seminar in the Kootenays. It was an international event with par-ticipants from England, the United States, Chile, across Canada and, of course, Japan.

It may seem as a contra-diction to describe any mar-tial art as “peaceful’ but the

founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, renowned as one of the world’s greatest martial artists of all time, knew that the real way of the warrior is based on compassion, wis-dom, fearlessness, and love of nature. As Jean-Rene explains, “Aikido emphasizes harmony and a peaceful reso-lution to conflict. Far more than a set of self-defence tech-

niques, Aikido is a noble dis-cipline that unifies body, mind and spirit.”

To complete the 20th year-end celebration the Nelson Dojo is offering a special 8-session “Discover Aikido” introductory course beginning November 20th. For further information visit www.kootenayaikido.org or call (250)551-5626.

Yellow Dog Coming book launch will prove thrillingTuesday, Nov. 13, 7:30 p.m. at Booksmyth, 338 Baker St. in Nelson

Mark Nykanen, an internationally recognized master of the psychological

thriller will be hosting the launch of a new addition to the genre by first time nov-elist and long-time resident, Bill Moore. Besides hosting the evening, Nykanen will read excerpts and moder-ate a discussion. The author will be on hand to sign cop-ies of his book.

Moore has lived in the Kootenays since 1980 and is visually impaired. Now 66, he has written all his life, but Yellow Dog Coming is the first to be published. “I thought I might as well wait till I was almost blind

before I hit the big time” he laughs. “On one level, Yellow Dog is a thriller, the story of two boys on a collision course in a small logging town. On a deep-er level it explores what happens when unthink-able trauma meets uncon-ditional love.” As a social worker and educator, he has worked with troubled youth throughout his life.

Nykanen is the author of seven novels that have been widely praised in national magazines and newspapers, both in North America and

abroad. As an investigative reporter, he won an Edgar Allan Poe Award from the Mystery Writers of America and four national Emmys. “Bill does an extraordinary job writing from the points of view of numerous char-acters, including a wholly convincing portrait of a kill-er and the moving emotions of young men and women coming of age,” Nykanen said. “Yellow Dog Coming is a searing tale that is bril-liantly told – and impos-sible to forget.”

Alanda Greene chosen iBooks Editor’s ChoiceThe debut novel by

Kootenay Bay author Alanda Greene was one of five new titles chosen last week as the online iTunes iBooks Editor’sChoice.

Greeene’s novel, Napi’s Dance, is scheduled to be launched atNelson’s Oxygen Art Centre, 320 Vernon St. (alley entrance), on Friday, Nov. 9 at 7:30 p.m.“Using lyrical details that evoke the sacred mysticism of the Canadian wilderness, Alanda Greene crafts an ambitious story of cultural conflict,” the

iTunes citation for the week of Oct. 22 to 28 stated.

Greene’s novel, pub-lished by Toronto’s Second Story Press, portrays how women in a Blackfoot band in the mid-1800s deal with the practical and spiritual devastation that white set-tlement brings to southern Alberta’s plains. The experi-ences of the young daughter of settlers ageneration later provide added perspective to the tale.

Local Writer Jeff Forst wins magazine prizeThe Malahat Review,

“Canada’s premier literary magazine”, awarded Nelson theatre artist Jeff Forst a cash purse in the University of Victoria 50th Anniversary Prize contest. Announced at a UVic Alumni Gala on October 30th, Forst’s

Cop Shop Grow Op won third place in the dramatic monologue category from final judge Michael Lewis MacLennan: the industry screenwriter, playwright and producer who currently helms GlobalTV’s Bomb Girls.

About Forst’s entry, MacLennan wrote, “Here’s a virtuosic piece of writ-ing built on a high-stakes dramatic scenario to keep this hefty monologue aloft. Through humour and pro-pulsive writing, the writer succeeds in touching on

the character’s darker cor-ners without sinking the piece in a maudlin languor. Within all this, it offers a trenchant if subtle exami-nation of a longstanding conflict — the stuff of good drama.”

Selkirk College alumna Yukiko Tsutsui from Japan is coming back to Nelson and having a party style event at Expressions.

Yukiko lived in Nelson from 2005 to 2009, and graduated the Contemporary Music and Technology program at Selkirk College in 2008. Currently, she is based in her hometown Akita, in the Tohoku region of Japan.

While Yukiko was developing her music skill in the college, she started her national award-winning radio show, Japanese Musiquest, on Kootenay Coop Radio. The show was syndicated on four community radio stations in BC, Yukon and Ontario.

From September 2007 to February 2012, Japanese Musiquest exposed its listeners to Japanese music and cul-ture. In June 2010, the show won first prize in the Music Program category at the annual radio awards given by

the National Campus and Community Radio Association (NCRA).

In June 2010, she coordinated the Japanese Folk Singers Umewaka-kai Western Canada tour. They toured sev-eral cities in BC and Alberta, including a show at the United Church in Nelson as well as shows in Kaslo and New Denver. The tour brought the commu-nity authentic traditional music from Akita Japan, and was well received.

For this party style event, Yukiko is performing her original Japanese tunes and some traditional Japanese folk songs with the western twist. She is also giving a slide show and talking about what happened around her from 2010 to 2012 in Japan.

This event is also celebrating her acquiring permanent residence status in Canada, and her November 21 birthday. She will share authentic Japanese cul-ture with her “hometown” in Canada,

Nelson, where she was educated as a musician.

The event starts at 7 p.m. Tickets $5, availble at Expressions, 554 Ward St.

Bring on better bus service!by Spencer PollardMy Opinion

I commute by Transit and it’s current schedule is often incon-venient. I understand

why, between budget restrictions and a lack of use; the public transportation in Nelson is a mixed blessing. On one end it’s very reliable when it comes to arriv-ing on time and getting to it’s destina-tion as well as the majority of the driv-ers are very pleasant to be around. The issue I have have is a lack of service at certain times and certain days.

Now I appreciate very much what

both the drivers and the people who maintain our transit service offer us but there is always changes I would like. For starters, I live out in the Balfour/Harrop area and having more transit service especially on weekends would be great as it would limit the amount of couch surfing that I would need to do. Also more buses mid-day would be great as traversing around town in the middle of the day can be a struggle.

In short, the transit services in Nelson are great at what they do; but there is always room for improvement.

Opinion&EditorialCommunity Forests - Part 2Commentary by Alex Atamanenko, NDP for BC Southern Interior

Community for-ests are commonly referred to as a “small tenure”, but their hopes

and aspirations are anything but small. Community forests were created to sup-port local livelihoods and to promote innovation and economic diversifica-tion. They also encourage communica-tion and the development of relation-ships within communities and with First Nations. They provide opportunities for local training and skills development.

Forest companies will change own-ers or come and go. However, commu-nity forests and the communities that manage them are here to stay. With area based, long-term tenures, incentives are created for long term investment in the land. It is in the interest of these com-munities to manage their local forests for a range of values, including local jobs, wildfire mitigation and community interface planning, recreation infrastruc-ture and small scale, local bioenergy.

There are five community forests in the BC Southern-Interior riding – Kaslo, Harrop –Procter, West Boundary, Keremeos, and Princeton – and the

accounts of benefits derived from their operations are growing steadily. For example, Kaslo contributed funds to build the new clubhouse at the Kaslo Golf Club, a timber framed structure that also employed a local company for design and construction. Harrop-Procter is the first community forest with Forest Stewardship Council Certification. With their low annual allowable harvest and a focus on protection of watershed values, they have established a small mill to turn their round trees into dimensional lumber products.

While community forestry holds great potential for BC communities, the economic and ecological changes facing the forest sector as a whole present significant challenges. The British Columbia Community Forest Association (BCCFA) is working to help its members manage for future success.

At the recent BCCFA conference in Kaslo, delegates heard about the lat-est research on how to approach long term forest management in the context of climate change. They learned about the importance of understanding and

monitoring the patterns and impacts of local change and they were intro-duced to some practical tools to analyze their vulnerabilities and risk. The new insights and tools will assist community forest managers to adapt their decision making to future conditions.

Community forests are seeking to diversify their operations and to capture more value for the wood harvested. WoodSourceBC.com is a new BCCFA initiative which helps to attract a wide group of log buyers and value added manufacturers to the community forest product and to partnership opportuni-ties.

Value added manufacturing can provide as much as ten times the jobs for each cubic metre of wood as can a primary breakdown facility. The higher value product can also provide for an alternative log market for community forests and other small tenures. Value added is a good deal for communities because it can contribute to new jobs, youth retention, economic diversifica-tion and community stability.
