Nakusp residents have two options for trash removal: the purchase of des-ignated bags to put out on garbage day or to take their own trash directly to

the dump during opening hours. Last week saw an unwelcome third option — leaving it at the recycling depot on Eighth Avenue and Second Street NW.

Bags of trash, a discarded sink, fax machine, a suitcase and food matter littered the area on the

morning of September 15. Con-versation erupted on the Facebook page, the Nakusp Communicator.

“…All of us in this community use these recycle bins so going there and seeing it like this is absolutely disgust-ing and pretty soon they will take them

away. It’s not fair for them to clean up such a mess!” wrote Karina Saarenpaa in her post, complete with photos show-ing some of the garbage present when she was doing her recycling.

When Sarah Aspeslet was diagnosed with cancer more than � ve years ago, she had no idea of the � nancial burden it was about to take on her. Over the years, she has made trips from Nakusp to Nelson, Trail, Kelowna and Vancouver for surgeries and treatments; most of what she needed was not available any closer to home. Occasionally, there have been government as-sistance with gas money and sometimes accommodation but meals and other expenses have been out of pocket and for Sarah, who is on a � xed income, that has meant charg-ing major credit cards or not receiving treatment.

“I’m a single mom of two, so it’s been really rough. I am dealing with disconnection notices for bills. I have had trouble paying my rent,” As-peslet said in an interview.

While many of the surger-ies and other cancer treat-ments have been covered by

British Columbia’s Medical Services Palan (MSP), plenty of her medical expenses have not been covered. Associated costs are a reality for many chronically and terminally ill patients.

“I’ve had two surgeries a year for � ve years. I’ve maxed out credit cards,” she added. “I had a major surgery last year and was incapacitated for three months; I couldn’t sit, lay, stand or � nd any way to be comfortable except for half-propped up.”

Sarah was born with a rare bone marrow disorder — Fanconi’s anemia, the rarest form of anemia in the world. Essentially her bone marrow loses its ability to produce blood, and most patients ei-ther develop leukemia or bone marrow failure by age 40.

Aspeslet, 36, has two chil-dren aged eight and � � een and has recently received the di� cult news that nobody is ever prepared to hear: her illness has now become un-treatable. She has been given a life expectancy of a year and a half. Diligently fundraising

for help with medical supplies and expenses, her priorities have shi� ed. She tried to raise funds by organizing a sale of her wardrobe and accessories, then with an online fundraiser hosted by Go Fund Me. How-ever, the news has changed everything. Now she wants to live her remaining months for her family.

“A vacation, somewhere out of the country. Some-thing they will never forget,” Aspeslet said through tears. “� e bills and rent come � rst of course but I hope there is potential for a family vacation. If there is anything le� over, we’ll take whatever holiday we can get.”

� e lymphatic tumor she now has between her femur and her bladder is large, ag-gressive and inoperable. Be-cause of her other health issues, her immune system cannot handle regular che-motherapy and radiation. She recently returned from ten bouts of targeted radiation via cat scan, however there is little hope of containing the tumor’s growth.

� e Saddleback Church was the location for a garage sale to assist Sarah with her � nances. Members of the del-egation and the general public were asked to donate items for sale and all items were sold by donation.

Saddleback Church fundraiser for local mom battling cancer

August 26 and 27 saw local families converge at the annual Toadfest at Sum-mit Lake. � e event serves to both create awareness of the western toad in our area and to aid them in their migration, which crosses a busy highway. Toadlets must get from their summer habitat back to the lakeshore for winter, and their num-bers rely on the kindness of humans to accomplish this safely.

Angus Glass, the Communications Co-ordinator with the Fish and Wildlife Com-pensation Program said, “We had a great turnout — between 350-400 people over the two days.”

Despite the great attendance of partici-pants ready to lend a hand, toad numbers

were down this year. Last year, the to-tal number of toadlets moved was more than 13,000 compared to only 6852 for 2014. Biologists cite unseasonably warm temperatures as the reason.

“Basically the extremely hot weather in July and August resulted in the tad-poles developing faster than normal in the warm water, and the main migration occurred a couple of weeks earlier than usual (nearer the beginning of August),” added Glass.

� e annual event is put on thanks to cooperation between the Fish and Wild-life Compensation Program (FWCP), with support from B.C. Parks; the Min-istry of Forests, Lands and Natural Re-source Operations; Columbia Basin Trust; the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure; and YRB.

Story continued from page 1

Many chimed in; the conver-sation was one of the most ac-tive of the week with a total of 20 community members participat-ing in the conversation on the popular forum. Members sug-gested the culprits might be visi-tors to the area who don’t have a concern for where their trash ends up. Others suggested may-be it was lower income residents or those without cars to get to the landfill which is located on the Hot Springs Road. The consen-sus was that garbage is often left in the area and nobody seemed to realize that there is a phone number to call on every bin in the event of concerns.

The green recycling bins are not the responsibility of the vil-lage. CAO Linda Tynan re-sponded in a phone interview, “They belong under the jurisdic-tion of the RDCK and are man-aged by MMBC (Multi-Material BC). Currently, we have a du-plication of recycling services because the village has started providing curbside household recycling.”

Mike Morrison, Resource Re-covery Manager with Environ-mental Services at the Regional District of Central Kootenay spoke with the Arrow Lakes News,

”Waste Management of Can-ada has been contracted to pro-vide the recycling bin services for the RDCK at this location and are held to performance stan-dards within the agreement. If we are notified of dumping at the depots, they are quite diligent to rectify it. We are all mandated to

provide a clean and safe experi-ence at each of the 27 depots in the Region.” Morrison added, “It’s fairly typical that we are the last to know. Despite the fact that the contact numbers are posted on the bins and the signage, I have not received a recent com-plaint about this location.”

If residents see any type of contamination or abuse of the re-cycling depot, they are welcome to contact the RDCK at (250) 365-6372, 1-800-808-1909 or online at www.wm.com.

What difference does a day make? In the newspaper busi-ness, more than you might realize. The Arrow Lakes News has been a Wednesday paper for as long as anyone can remem-ber, but that’s about to change. Thursday has been chosen as the new distribution day.

Reporters, ad staff, editors, columnists and contributors spend the entire week creating the edito-rial content and ads

that go into every is-sue. They work with a Sunday deadline for Monday press dead-line, Tuesday print-ing and Wednesday distribution to retail-ers and subscribers. This is all newspaper vernacular meaning that the content is required to be final-ized three days before the customer can buy their paper.

The difference be-tween a Sunday dead-line and Monday can mean timelier edi-torial, better quotes from profession-als who don’t work weekends and full

coverage of weekend events. It also pushes each of the steps back by a day, ultimately changing the newspa-per from a Wednes-day issue to Thursday.

Changing the is-sue date to Thursday creates many benefits for the Arrow Lakes News. Publisher Chuck Bennet said, “Shipping into the market is changing from Revelstoke to Castlegar and Nelson, which will give us distribution into New Denver and Silverton which we haven’t had for a while.”

For those who

work to create the newspaper, having that extra business day means much more.

“Coming off of a weekend and hav-ing to have it printed so early is challeng-ing,” added∑ Bennett. Working toward the best content and sense of the commu-nity, staff will be able to better represent lo-cal news and culture with increased cover-age.

This will be the last Wednesday paper; the next issue will be available on Thursday October 2.

EditorialOur View

B.C. teachers dispute over

At long last the labour dispute between B.C.’s teachers and the provincial government is over and students have returned to class.

� ank goodness.While we applaud both sides for � nally

reaching an agreement and ending this bitter dispute, we do have to wonder why it is neces-sary to hold a Professional Development Day the � rst week back.

� at’s right; some school districts in the Kootenay have decided not to postpone the scheduled day o� for students. Both School District 8 (Kootenay Lake) and School District 20 (Castlegar/Trail), have proclaimed that stu-dents do not have to go to school on Friday.

But not all districts are so rigid.School District 10 has decided to delay their

Pro-D Day (which was scheduled for Monday September 29) in order to allow students to get back into the regular routine of school.

� at appears to be a better solution than inter-rupting the � rst week of learning. It also shows that changing a Pro-D Day is a valid option.

We have to applaud the district for making the change some of the larger districts refused to alter. We suggest that other districts should look at SD 10 as an example

It’s di� cult to understand the logic of not postponing it.

While we concede that Pro-D days are im-portant — allowing teachers and manage-ment to have school-wide discussions and host learning and development sessions — it’s hard to justify closing the schools for another day, especially during the � rst week back.

Parents have already been challenged with the task of � nding child care or activities for their children during the strike. Now a� er be-ing told that school is � nally returning, they discover it is going to be a shortened week.

From a public relations point of view, keep-ing students out of school on Friday is a bit of a disaster for both the teachers and the district, and both sides need to work on improving their public image.

SD 10 made the right decision.

The Rocky Mountain Selec-tion, under the umbrella of the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group, conducted their third classic MotoGiro in Nakusp during the weekend of Sep-tember 12. The event is mod-eled after the original Giro Motociclistico d’Italia that

enjoyed international success until a horrendous crash in 1957 put an end to the 3000 kilometre endurance race. The motorcycle world took an obligatory step back when all road races were banned in the aftermath of the crash, un-til it was revived in 1999. The revival saw the road race take on a more relaxed structure while maintaining the sprit

of competition and passion that inspired the original. The Rocky Mountain MotoGiro is an opportunity for vintage motorcycle enthusiasts to share their appreciation for passionate Italian design and is one of many similar races being conducted internation-ally.

In the spirit of the original event, The Rocky Mountain

MotoGiro involves a day of road riding on a public road loop from Nakusp to Nelson, followed by a second day of closed-course timed races up the Nakusp Hot Springs road.

Riders and bikes are sepa-rated into class and category, then raced in groups of four over the course of seven heats. The races are timed, and re-sults are sorted out at the end

of the day according to every rider’s handicap. This allows the organizers to race a range of combinations drawing from the pool of slower and faster bikes and riders.

Over 30 vintage motorcycle enthusiasts participated in the event, which organizer Dave Marshall hopes to establish as a mainstay for the September weekend.

New digs in store for the Arrow Lakes newspaper office

On September 30 one door will close and an-other will open. Arrow Lakes News is on the move. Anyone walking past the newspaper office may have noticed the “For Rent” sign on the door; the large of-fice suite is being vacated because it’s just too big for the two-person staff occu-

pying it.The pending move is

part of the paper’s revi-talization. New publisher Chuck Bennett took over last spring and set about evaluating all aspects of the small town news office, from staffing to location. A move made a lot of sense based on square footage, with too much of it empty.

“I thought this (the cur-rent) building wasn’t the

right fit — too big, with a lot of empty space. Downsiz-ing made sense to me. We needed a smaller office; one of the challenges of an office that’s too big is that it creates an empty feel,” Bennett said in an interview.

The search began for a new location. On the wish list was an accessibil-ity ramp, ample parking and size to better accom-modate the staff of one

full time and one part time employee. Bennett decid-ed on the former Colum-bia Cable building at 89 First Avenue NE.

The revitalization has also included reopening the office to walk-in traf-fic between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Monday to Friday and changes to staff as well. Locals can again drop in for subscription renewals, classified or business ad

placements, and newspa-per sales. People who want to come by in person with a story lead or to buy pa-per bundles are invited to do so. They will be greeted by the cheery smile of Ch-antelle Carter in the Sales Associate/Office Manager position.

Arrow Lakes News has had its challenges as part of the community, however things are about to change.

Bennett looks forward to reviving and renewing community ties.

“A smaller office allows us to be vibrant. We don’t need to be on Main Street to do that,” said Bennett. “We want to be dynamic and part of the community and I want to revive that. We are a local business and rely on local customers. It is a positive move for the paper.”

Paul Born hopes to build a better world. His website states, “Together, we will create vibrant communities by building community, leading collaboratively and reducing poverty.” It’s a tall order but one he has dedi-cated his life to.

For anyone who has ever tried to attract volunteers or organize anything, the meaning of the term STP will be amusing; it stands for the “Same Ten People.” The reference is to the same group of people being the ones who show up to par-ticipate, volunteer, steer and be active in community projects. The elusive “gen-eral public” is the target, yet just a handful of the same folks seem to be the only ones moving to action.

Born is a global leader in helping organizations and communities to develop innovative ideas that mo-tivate people to collabora-tive action. He is renowned facilitator; an entertaining, humorous speaker; a phi-losopher; a storyteller; and a best-selling author. One audience member stated, “You can’t even be in the same room as Paul without starting to feel better about the world.”

As a result of a schedul-ing coincidence, Born will be in the area at the end of September. The Na-kusp and Area Develop-ment Board is inviting all community members to a public meeting facilitated by Born on September 30 at the Arena Auditorium. Thanks to the generous support of Columbia Basin

Trust for our Community engagement efforts, admis-sion to the event is free. The meeting will start with dessert and refreshments at 6:30 p.m.. Find out more at www.tamarackcommunity.ca.

This is an opportunity for Nakusp and area to build on our collaborative efforts and refresh our collective wisdom, to have our voices heard and to have an op-portunity to make a differ-ence. Previous community meetings and luncheons have focused on economic development. This one will be broad-based and include all sectors. Everyone is wel-come to attend and par-ticipate in whatever way is comfortable.

As an added bonus, the first 100 people to arrive will receive a free copy of

Paul Born’s latest book, Deepening Community:

Finding Joy Together in Chaotic Times.

October 4, 1934At an enthusiastic gath-

ering of Liberal Represen-tatives from the Kaslo-Slocan riding at Nakusp on Thursday. C.C. Leary, provincial member was unanimously chosen as candidate for the federal nomination in Kootenay West. His name will go before the federal conven-tion in Nelson, October 3.

September 29, 1944 James Draper of New Den-ver, resident of Slocan for 30 years, was chosen to carry the Liberal banner for Kootenay West into the Federal election campaign at a nominating convention of the West Kootenay Fed-eral Liberal Association at the Canadian Legion Hall, Nelson, Wednesday night.

October 7, 1954 A storage dam to be built

near Castlegar at an esti-mated cost of $25 million moved a step closer to re-ality with the announce-ment by Hon. R. E. Som-mers, minister of lands, forest, and mines, that an agreement, requiring the posting of a substantial bond, has been concluded between the B.C. Gov-ernment and the Kaiser Aluminum and Chemical Corporation of the United States.

September 24, 1964 The funeral for Mrs. Ber-tha Sheill was held Friday at Needles. She came to Needles in 1900 and had resided there ever since. She was 88 and was a char-ter member of the Needles Women’s Institute.

October 9, 1974 The new Arrow Lakes Hospital is just six weeks

away from completion. Most of the rooms have been completed except for fixtures and final coats of paint, but the laundry room and a couple others still need some lighting and other work done first.

September 26, 1984 Three children in the Na-kusp area have been diag-nosed to have the highly infectious whooping cough. The three children were all in one family and were quarantined as soon as the disease was diag-nosed.

September 28, 1994 About 200 people attend-ed the Arrow Lakes Hos-pital Society AGM at the Legion Hall. Prior to the meeting agenda being ap-proved, several questions were raised from the floor concerning the voting

power of members, the change of meeting date and the additions of the agenda. The chairman was asked if he would accept two additions to the agen-da including: 1. Dismissal of the Director of Nursing and 2. A report to the So-ciety as the disposition of the staff’s petition to the board. They were added to the agenda.

September 29, 2004 A cafeteria-style restaurant in the Green Door bulding , which would be owned and operated by the Arrow Lakes Young Entrepreneurs Society (ALYES), could be a couple months away from opening. The group is waiting to hear if they have received funding form Hu-man Resources and Skills Development Canada be-fore they can proceed with renovations.

� e Arrow Lakes News has been follow-ing local rowing talent Ben de Wit through his achievements on the water since 2011, when he was part of the team that took the silver medal at the Pan American Games in Mexico. � is month, de Wit is again making waves internationally as part of the team that

snagged the bronze at the World University Rowing Champion-ships in Gravelines, France.

“� is was my � rst trip to France. � e area we were in is all along the ocean and it reminded me of coastal B.C.. � ere’s the ferry service to England kind of like the ferries between Vancouver and Victoria,” de Wit said in an interview with the Arrow Lakes

News.De Wit started row-

ing in 2009 when he

spotted a “Learn to Row” poster on cam-pus at UBC. As luck would have it, the team was aggressively recruiting for novice rowers and de Wit � t the description they were a� er: tall and ath-letic. Having played hockey, soccer and basketball during his teen years at Nakusp Secondary School, he had also been looking to join a few clubs.

� is year, he is back on the rowing team a� er a couple of years o� for work. Several months ago, he was se-lected to join the 2014 International University Sports Federation Men’s 8 rowing team. Enroll-ing at school was a pre-requisite to being on the team, so he is again at UBC now pursuing his master’s in Mining En-gineering.

Bronze medal win-ners comprising this year’s contingent of

nine (eight rowers and one Coxswain) in-cluded four students from the University of British Columbia, two from Ontario schools and one from Harvard University who is actu-ally a Canadian.

When asked what de Wit enjoyed most about the trip he said, “Spending time with my teammates. I really liked meeting other athletes and coaches and seeing how they train. Rowing is a pretty small com-munity and has a lot of great people.”

Canada was one of 33 countries participat-ing in the FISU World Rowing Championships held at the Parc des Rives de l’Aa from September 12-14. Competition is open to all student athletes who are pres-ently studying or who have graduated within the past year. Athletes must be between 17 and 28 years of age.

Thousands of British Columbians do not possess the literacy skills needed to suc-ceed, impacting everything from health-care to employment.

In British Columbia, 40 per cent of adults have difficulty reading a newspaper, filling out a work application form, reading a bus schedule or understanding a lease. Close to 50 per cent of adults do not have the skills necessary to calculate a tip, create a budget or understand credit card interest rates.

Even more concerning is the fact that almost four in 10 youths aged 15 have in-sufficient reading skills and 16 per cent of B.C. youths do not graduate from high school. These statistics have serious impli-

cations on society, as literacy rates impact every aspect of our lives: healthcare, edu-cation, crime rates, employment and eco-nomic status.

This month, Black Press and the Colum-bia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) are joining forces to raise funds and awareness about the importance of literacy with the fourth annual Reach a Reader campaign. The campaign will culminate with com-munity leaders and volunteers hitting the streets across the Columbia Basin and Boundary to distribute special editions of local papers and collect donations in sup-port of community-based literacy pro-grams.

The Reach a Reader campaign coincides with Decoda Literacy Solutions’ inaugural Literacy is Life Campaign — a province-wide fundraising and awareness campaign designed to create a new, modern under-standing of literacy and raise funds to en-sure community-based literacy programs across British Columbia can support the people who depend upon them.

CBAL’s executive director, Ali Was-sing, says, “We have been gratified to see the high level of support and enthusiasm for CBAL’s annual partnership with Black Press on the Reach a Reader campaign. This fall, in tandem with the launch of De-coda’s Literacy is Life provincial campaign and the hugely successful Raise-a-Reader campaign in the Lower Mainland, we look forward to a banner year for literacy.”

If you like to feed birds in the winter then it’s time to dig out the feeders and give them a good cleaning. In the early fall, resident birds such as chickadees, nuthatches, juncos and jays begin to es-tablish their winter feeding territories. Once the birds have found an area that can provide them with sufficient food, they tend to stay with it as long as the supply holds up. If your address isn’t in the territory by early winter, then it might never be! Some of the other birds likely to visit winter feeders — such as redpolls, grosbeaks and goldfinches — have not yet arrived in the area. But if you want to improve your chances of attracting these species, your feeders must be up when they arrive. I usu-ally put mine up in early Oc-tober.

Some people have ques-tioned whether or not pro-viding food at this time of year will cause birds to aban-don their normal foods, or perhaps delay their migra-tion. The available evidence suggests that most birds utilize a variety of foods throughout the day; they will not just sit at a feeder and gorge themselves. It seems more likely that most birds use feeders to supplement their normal diet, rather than replace it. There is little re-search to suggest winter bird feeding is in any way harm-

ful to a birds health, except in those cases where people provide inappropriate food. Bread, for example, contains bulk but very little nutrional value. There have been cases where birds have filled up on such “empty foods” and then died overnight, their bod-ies not having the energy to keep warm. Each year I see one or two feeders around town that include table scraps. This is probably not a good idea. The only birds likely to be attracted to such a feeder would be crows, ra-vens, starlings and possibly Steller’s Jays. These are very aggressive birds. Once they move in, it is unlikely other species will get much to eat.

Putting feeders out in Oc-tober is also unlikely to af-fect migration patterns. Most migrants have left by then, and those that haven’t are generally not the seed eaters so they will not be tempted by your feeders.

The best foods to provide local winter birds are seeds (especially sunflower) and beef fat. Some birds prefer hanging feeders while oth-ers tend to feed only on the ground or on platform feeders. If you want to feed a variety of birds, you will have to provide a variety of feeding stations. But with-out question, the first feed-ing station you should pro-vide is a hanging feeder with sunflower seeds. The small, black oily seeds seem to be most effective. The seed mix-tures available in most stores are not as good at attracting birds in our area. At my feed-ers, only the ground feeding birds, such as Juncos, choose these over sunflower seeds. The mixtures also contain a lot of millet, which tends to remain in the feeders after all else has been taken. If you want more detailed informa-tion on feeders, and feeding in general, give me a call.

Nakusp residents will have an oppor-tunity to hear first-hand from climate change expert Mel Reasoner. During the free interac-tive evening hosted by Selkirk College, Reasoner will share the latest on climate change, its local impacts and how communities like Nakusp can become more climate resil-ient.

The presentations are part of Columbia Basin Trust’s Com-munities Adapting to Climate Change Initiative, helping to translate com-plex climate change science into mean-ingful and action-able information for Basin commu-nities. The Nakusp

event takes place at 7 p.m. on Wednes-day, October 8, at the Learning Centre on 311 Broadway Street.

“Global tempera-ture changes mean we can expect more extreme weather events, receding glaciers and changes to snowpacks, river flows, growing sea-sons and more,” said Reasoner. “This has important implica-tions for communi-ties in the Columbia Basin.”

Indeed, many c o m m u n i t i e s worldwide are now planning for a fu-ture climate that will be different than what we’ve known and experi-enced in the past. While Reasoner

will focus on cli-mate science and impacts, there will also be opportuni-ty to discuss lead-ing-edge ideas and practices on how communities can adapt.

The evening is designed as en-gaging learning opportunities for people of all types, including inter-ested individu-als, local business owners, commu-nity groups, local government and elected officials.

For more infor-mation about the event or the Com-munities Adapt-ing to Climate Change Initiative, contact [email protected] or 1-800-505-8998.

Ten long haired, grey and grey tabby kittens play clum-sily with one another and climb on top of their two mothers in a Protecting Animal Life Soci-ety (PALS) foster home. Fluffy, cuddly kittens grow up to be-come cats with varied person-alities so this is something to consider before committing to a kitten who seems just too cute to resist. Little kittens grow up to be large cats and have a lifes-pan of 15 or more years.

The two mothers have al-ready been spayed. They are well socialized with one anoth-er having been raised together, and their combined 10 kittens nurse from either of them due to the bond that they all share. PALS is seeking loving, com-

mitted owners during the next few weeks. They rely solely on the availability of local foster homes to provide care and so-cialization to the pets that they take in. PALS is operated only by volunteers and they have no shelter building.

“We want to see an end to the cruel cycle of unwanted cats,” stated Linda Kendall, treasurer and spokesperson for the local animal rescue association. “For some reason, it is still consid-ered an option to treat cats as a throwaway pet, but this should not be the case.”

One female cat can produce between 100-400 viable off-spring inside of seven years. Cats are far more likely to be in need than any other type of pet, comprising 95 per cent of the animals served by the founda-tion.

PALS wants the public to

know having your cat spayed or neutered as early as possi-ble will have a huge impact on population. For animals who are altered at five months, or on your vet’s recommendation, this ensures that they will nev-er reproduce because cats can start bearing young as early as six months of age. The rescue is

attempting to curb production of unwanted cats by reducing the amount of kittens produced and are doing what they can to help people achieve this.

Partnering with local vets, PALS offers the Low Income Assistance Program, designed to cover 60 per cent of the cost of a typical spay or neuter at

Nakusp Veterinary Clinic, who donate their portion of the sur-gery. Applications are available online.

To apply to adopt any of the available pets currently seeking homes or for help with having your pets spayed and neutered, visit the PALS website at www.pals-online.ca.

Arrow Lakes Arts CouncilOn Saturday, October

4, the Arrow Lakes Arts Council is opening its 2014-15 Concert Series with the Chorealis Vocal Ensemble. As a part of their fall tour, “Pathways of Love,” Chorealis will have the pleasure of sing-ing for the Arrow Lakes region in Nakusp for the first time.

The ensemble’s 11 mem-bers all live in the Okana-gan from Salmon Arm through to Kelowna and have been singing together since 2008.

The Chorealis ensemble is a unique vocal group, as they do not have a conduc-tor. Instead, all members contribute to create their fine, harmonious and un-accompanied sound. The ensemble performs a broad range of music, both sacred and secular. They especially love singing early music,

from English madrigals to Latin motets, but are equal-ly adept at more modern repertoire, be it a classical composition or a beloved Beatles tune.

For those who know Rudy and Ethel Goerzen in Burton — members of the

former Lakeside Singers — their grandson is part or the Chorealis ensemble.

Please note that this con-cert will start at 8 p.m., to accommodate the Mush-room Dinner event at 5 p.m. in the Legion. Tickets for the event are available at the

Bon Marche/Dollar Store until 4 p.m. the day of the concert, then at the door.

Come out and enjoy an evening of song with the Chorealis Vocal Ensemble at the Bonnington Arts Centre, Saturday, October 4 at p.m..

Art openingLandscape artists

have had the honour of showing at Stu-dio Connexion Gal-lery this year and in the past.

To close the regu-lar exhibition season we have chosen Na-dine Stefan, a long time established art-ist, to show her new series, “Wildflower.”

The New Denver/Calgary artist has created new acrylic paintings on wood panels. The series depicts low ground scapes focusing on beautiful grasses, weeds and flowers. Nadine’s inspiration comes from nature and also from her travels this last sum-mer. The paintings will be of interest to nature and art lov-

ers in general. Her show will run from September 23 to Oc-tober 11.

Please note that the reception for the show will be on Fri-day October 3 from 7 to 9 p.m.. You are invited to meet and greet Nadine and to celebrate her new series at Studio Con-nexion Gallery, 203 Fifth Avenue NW (only two and a half blocks from Broad-way Street).

Refreshments will be served.

The regular gal-lery hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. from Tuesday to Saturday, or by appointment to accommodate your busy schedule. See you at the gal-lery!
