Double Helix
Double Helix jazzThursday, July 17, 7:30 p.m. at Expressions Night Café, 554 Ward St.
Jazz enthusiasts will enjoy an intimate evening performance at expressions Night Café. tony and peter Chotem, the core of double Helix, are active members of Vancouver’s busy jazz scene, playing clubs, res-
taurants, festivals, concerts and corporate events, as well as the 2012 Vancouver international Jazz Festival. their jazz sets stand out due to the large percentage of originals that are includ-ed. they are equally happy improvising to an ancient Celtic melody as to a 20th century blues standard. even familiar standards sparkle with fresh ideas and unexpected arrangements.
tickets are $10 and are available in advance by calling 250-354-3910.
excitement is build-ing for a musical visit from Vancouver-based musicians, Hilary Grist and dominique Fricot, on
their dual album release tour of Grist’s Come & Go and Fricot’s Sweet Little Fantasy.
Grist sings firefly folk dipped in dreamy, jazzy art pop envelopes her dulcet, often delicate vocal delivery. Fricot’s swoon-worthy baritone ballads and honest lyr-ics have made him an award winner and festival favourite.

With that theme in mind, selkirk College announces a new summer program featuring regional artists and craft-speople. programs will be offered in theatre, writing, music and the visual arts featuring prominent local masters of their crafts. Registration deadline is July 15.

New power meters in SalmoFortisbC’s Advanced metering
infrastructure (Ami) project will begin this fall in the trail-salmo area, and is expected to be complete in all regions by the end of 2015.
FortisbC will notify customers by mail before their meter is exchanged. Customers do not have to be home, how-ever, the exchange will require a brief power outage lasting only a few minutes. FortisbC asks that customers leave safe access to their meter, including keeping dogs and other pets away. Customers will receive an information package after installation. A radio-off option is avail-able for those who have concerns.

Called Rural pre-medicine, the program is designed to teach students “what it means to be a rural health care provider.”

Camp Koolaree propane-lessAfter mounting a hugely successful
fundraising campaign last year that saw the camp finishing the year in the ‘black’ for the first time in a decade, Camp Koolaree is facing a new struggle.
With accreditation in hand from the bC Camping Association, the united Church Camping Association, the Health Authority (for kitchen and water works), an ongoing capital improve-ment plan, and registrations recovering from the uncertainty of 2013, things looked good for 2014. Just before open-ing day, however, the local fire inspector provided some bad news. the camp’s propane systems needed an upgrade. Ruling the stoves and hot water tanks out of order, the inspector wrote up a list of requirements, wished the camp well, and left the board wondering what might come next.
A plan was soon developed. Hot water for showers and washing up would come from a wood heating system, pro-pane barbeques and stoves would be set up in the dining hall, and the improve-ments required to meet the standards set by the inspection would be put in place as soon as possible. Word went out, donations of materials and time were offered and organized, and campers arrived.
the first Koolaree run camp has seen 30 teen co-ed campers enjoying the place. the board looks forward to another four camps over the next four weeks.

On Saturday, July 5, at approximately 11:15 p.m., a trail and Greater district RCmp officer was parked in the downtown trail area when he observed a pick up truck travelling at a high rate of speed. the RCmp officer activated his emer-gency lights to attempt to close the distance with the suspect vehicle to effect a vehicle stop. the vehicle was several blocks ahead and sight of the vehicle was lost as it rounded cor-ners. When police located the vehicle, it had struck the carport and home of a residence on Riverside
Avenue. the two occupants of the residence and the driver were not injured but the residence sustained sub-stantial damage.
the driver was imme-diately arrested at the scene without incident. Charges are being recommend-ed for impaired driving, impaired operation of a motor Vehicle with over 80 mgs of Alcohol, and dangerous operation of a motorVehicle. As the driver was found to be a prohib-ited driver and the vehicle was not registered, a num-ber of violation tickets were also issued. the driver has
been released from custody to attend court..
On Monday, July 7 at 6:30 p.m. the Nelson RCmp detachment and West Kootenay traffic services responded to a report of a single vehicle roll over crash on Highway 6, north of Crescent Valley. on attendance investigation revealed a lone occupant driving an uninsured white dodge pickup had lost con-trol of his vehicle and went into the oncoming lane and rolled twice trapping the lone occupant.
on police attendance, the driver, a 28 year old
Crescent Valley male was pronounced deceased. With the assistance of the tarry’s and passmore Fire departments the occupant of the vehicle was removed.
possible casual factors for this crash is speed, alco-hol and no seatbelts.
the RCmp would like to thank the dedication of the two local fire depart-ment who went beyond to assist the police in this crash.
the bC Coroner service and West Kootenay traffic services are continuing to investigate this crash.

With the rapidly evolv-
ing technol-ogy of our modern age, it can be easy to discard older ideas with the new. i, however, think that the old can still be of value and, in many cases, be superior to the new. these ideas have been with us for as long as i can recall and are just as important today as they have been in the past.
the first idea is one that i’m sure many of you are aware of. “Carpe diem” is Latin for “seize the day” and it’s a phrase i
know many of you follow to the umpteenth degree.
secondly, throughout history, community has been paramount and that is just as true today as it was then. We have a wealth of resources if we rely on one another if nec-essary to make our world a better place. Let’s use those resources.
i feel like it’s these ide-als and ideas from the past that continue to influence us today. if we continue to incorporate the old with the new, we should turn out okay. Well, most of us anyways.

Women Creating Change Projecti had
the plea-sure of mee t ing recently with Ann Godderis
and Jan morton, two of the coordinators of the trail and area Women Creating Change project. Ann and Jan presented me and my staff with an overview of this initiative, a partnership between the Greater trail Community skills Centre and the trail Family and individual Resource Centre society (trail FAiR).
We started out by watch-ing a powerful dVd called photo Voice that was assem-bled from photos taken by a group of eight trail women living in poverty. each wom-an’s voice gave examples of
the kind of barriers that they encounter in their daily lives: lack of affordable childcare, transportation and housing; provincial social service policies that inhibit personal initiative; and a lack of hope for their and their children’s future. the dVd was a bleak reminder of how far we still have to go as a soci-ety to ensure access to essen-tial services for all families, regardless of their makeup or income level. You can view photo Voice on the Women Creating Change website: womencreatingchange.org.
Jan and Ann then spoke about the aims of the Women Creating Change project and the work that has been done so far. the goal of the proj-ect is not to try to solve societal inequities on a large scale, but rather to address
some of the specific condi-tions that prevent women in the Greater trail region from entering sustainable, non-tra-ditional employment fields. these include: affordable education, career planning and skills training; living wage employment opportu-nities; and affordable com-munity services.
the project researchers looked at a variety of top-ics to gain insights into the realities of women who live in the project region. their findings gave the Women Creating Change team a snapshot of the social fac-tors that may support or limit economic security. For example, more than half of the women in the region earn less than $24,000 annually, as compared to one-quar-ter of men. one-third of the
female labour force works in lower-wage occupations. And for every three female lone-parent families there is one male lone-parent family.
there are many small changes that can help to cre-ate work environments that better support women. For example, educating employ-ers on the benefits of family-friendly workplaces—flex-ible working hours, alternate work arrangements, in-house childcare and support-ive supervisory staff—will go far to assist women with families to maintain a healthy work−life balance.
more information about the Women Creating Change project can be had by contacting the trail Community skills Centre, 250-231-9142, or [email protected]

Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL)
By Nelson Becker
C a n a d a has instituted a n t i - s p a m l e g i s l a t i o n in order to, h o p e f u l l y ,
eliminate spam coming into your email inbox. it is clear that the main culprits of spam are those local and foreign companies that want to scam you into giving them personal information or are trying to make you grow this or reduce that. the law itself is a blanket law and affects everyone who sends out commercial emails in Canada. the legislation, which came into effect July 1, 2014, is meant to have
everyone who sends out emails get express consent and therefore permission. in other words, it is a regulation that people must ask to be included in an email list, rather than being able to opt out of an email list. if we compare this with flyers, which are the snail mail equivalent of some forms of spam, the post office allows us to opt-out. However, we are automatically opted in.
i believe that it is important that recipients of emails know what they are getting and that they have given express consent. i am well aware that this law will
affect people in organizations who need to reach out to their communities more than actually going after those other scamming companies. partially, in wanting to keep up with Canadian regulations, and also because, in the end, we feel it is the right thing to do, we will be preparing an opt-in document for you to respond to. this document will make clear what you are signing up for and how to unsubscribe.
over the last couple of weeks i have received many emails from organizations that want to keep me on their list. some of them have been
nonprofits, some have been commercial companies, some of them i recognize and others i don’t. i hesitate to respond to any, as this is turning out to be another form for spam that this new legislation is creating. A better alternative to CAsL would have been to have companies regularly send out how to unsubscribe notices so that in the end we get what we want.
by the way, you have always been able to unsubscribe to any of our publications. You can do this by emailing us or using the ‘safe unsubscribe’ at the bottom of the email.
