Thursday, May 22, 7:30 p.m. at Expressions Café , 554 Ward St. $10-$15
This talented folk musi-cian is inspired by family, friends, and the people he meets on the way. His songs reflect life’s experiences, his spiritual journey, and lessons he has learned on the road. He delivers in an uplifting and affirming man-ner that leaves an audience energized, connected, and knowing that life is better at the end of the evening than it was at the beginning.
Ken writes with depth and insight and his strong voice takes his listeners on a jour-ney along with him, drawing them in, lifting them up, and leaving them wanting to hear more when the song is over.www.kenstead.net/videos

Jon Burden (L) and Bill Lynch (R)
Local guitarists, bill Lynch and Jon burden, have been playing together as a duo for the past few years and have played on shows with legendary Texas blues men such as sonny Rhodes and Country pete mcGill.
bill Lynch is the founder of Nelson’s favourite blues party band, Lazy poker, who have been entertaining Nelson audiences for decades. bill is also an accomplished song-writer and composes songs that incorporate Latin and Turkish melodies combined with insightful, poetic lyrics.
Jon burden has played in a number of regional bands over the years and locally, is best known for his work
as one half of the acoustic blues duo, Holly and Jon. Jon plays solid rhythm to bills fiery lead lines and plays and sings in a low-down, soulful blues style. Jon has a rich musical vocabulary and also writes beautifully; his songs clearly draw on a deep musi-cal reservoir.
Together, their blues and roots music has been described as “Fret board Rippin’ Acoustic blues.” Their sound is also very contemporary folk oriented with some hints of Latin and middle-eastern flavour. A Vancouver blues man referred to their music as “matador blues” and that is as good a description as any.expressions facebook page

DetourFriday, May 16, 8 p.m., Saturday, May 17, 3 and 8 p.m. at the Capitol Theatre
A contemporary theatre dance performance direct-ed and choreographed by Hiromoto ida, detour is the story of a man and woman from the “Walkman” era who are not tech savvy. They missed the wave of high tech and fell rather hopelessly, floating in the middle of murky waters, watching the cool surfers ride the big waves. Can they find each other again in this high tech world?www.capitoltheatre.bc.ca

Nelson City Police news: bears and boozeOver the May 9-11
weekend the Nelson police department received several reports of bears in both the Hospital and Fairview areas of the City. members were able to locate a black bear in the seventh and Gordon street area and used non-lethal flash bangs to scare the bear which is the pre-ferred method if the bear is not aggressive. in this event, the bear had several bags of garbage strewn around the area. The public is reminded to keep their garbage secure
as easy access to garbage will cause more bear encoun-ters and the bears will not leave if they can continue to access food sources (gar-bage) in the City.
on saturday, may 10 at 5:10 p.m. the Nelson police department received mul-tiple 911 calls for a fight in the area of Ward and baker streets. The fight was between two intoxicat-ed males and resulted in an arrest. one of the combat-ants was held due to his being intoxicated and was
released when he was sober. The fight was consensual and no charges are pending.
on sunday, may 11 at 6:30 a.m., the Nelson police department received several calls regarding a male who was passed out on the shoul-der of Hwy 3A just before the Lakeview Crescent exit. initial reports were that the male had fallen from a 5 metre wall adjacent to the highway however upon assessment by paramedics it appears as if the male was intoxicated and had passed
out and not fallen as was initially reported.
on monday, may 12 at 7:30 p.m., the Nelson police department received a report of a female passed out in the park in the 500 block of Hendryx.

On Saturday May 10, at approximately 5:30 p.m. the slocan Lake RCmp were notified of 2 people holding onto a partially submerged canoe in slocan Lake. The canoe was approximately 150 meters from shore. slocan Lake search and Rescue,
with assistance of the bC Ambulance service and slocan Lake Fire department were immediately dispatched to the scene.
The responders located an unconscious female inside the canoe, however, could not locate the other 2 people. Local enquires determined that 4
young people, ranging in age from 16-21 had departed from New denver and planned to canoe to Roseburry on far side of slocan Lake, a distance of approximately 6 kms. The female was taken to the New denver medical center, however, passed away that night.
The RCmp dive team continues to search for the three people still missing, concentrating on the bigelow bay area working out from the shore toward deeper water. so far they have had no success.

The opinions presented on this page are the opinions of the author and do not represent the opinions of the publisher or staff of the Express News Update
Guitar music has been con-sidered dead on
and off for some time now and yet this is completely untrue. Although the musi-cal landscape is often pop-ulated by electronic dance music and hip-hop, when it comes to the mainstream this does not mean that gui-tar music or rock music is on its way out. it simply just needs to innovate.
Rock music has had to survive by innovating itself numerous times through the years and it appears to have not done that in some time. Just because it hasn’t innovated doesn’t mean
that rock music has died.There is plenty of fantastic recent rock records that are out that are worth checking out. i also find it entertain-ing that people say “guitar music is dead,” and yet you never hear someone say “oh no! drum music is dying!”
Although rock music no longer dominates the charts as it once did, it doesn’t mean it’s dead. so, if you are sick of hearing the same genres of music on the radio, try looking at the online charts or go sifting through your local record store if you are just dying to hear that new sound.

Opinion&editorialBy Nelson Becker
Victoria Day is Nice, More Holidays Would be NicerThis monday is
Victoria day celebrating Queen Victoria. i propose that we have room in our
calendar for more holidays, not only to have more time off to spend with our families but also to acknowledge other things that we want to celebrate, such as our volunteers. Why not have a day called Community day where
each of our communities big and small celebrate ourselves? of course we have Canada day and that has meant we have learned more about Canada’s history and the glue that binds us as a nation. Having a Community day would encourage us to learn more about our own history and culture. each community could name the day for themself, so, while it would fall on
the same monday every year, we could call it Nelson day, ymir day, Winlaw day and so on. i propose the last monday in september. Community day is not just about history and culture but also about what gives the feelings about living in a community. it’s what connects us all. A regular recharging of our batteries will enable us to be more productive when we are at work.

Arrow Lakes Fisheries compensation a failurecommentary by Gord Grunerud, West Kootenay Zone President and Harvey Andrusak, Director BC Wildlife Federation
The Kootenay region has endured a disproportionate amount of ecological dam-age due to numerous upper Columbia basin hydro devel-opments that have generated considerable economic ben-efits to the province, but also caused significant social and environmental damage to the region. The most recent dam at Revelstoke caused huge disruption and losses to fish and wildlife populations that were identified at public hear-ings in Revelstoke in 1978.
during the 1980’s, bC Hydro made a number of commitments to restore fish and wildlife lost due to their Columbia River hydro developments, including the Revelstoke dam. The govern-ment and bC Hydro eventu-
ally formed a program called the Fish and Wildlife program (FWCp) in the mid-1990s to restore fish and wildlife loss-es, especially those related to the Revelstoke dam.
At the Revelstoke public Hearings, Arrow Lakes Reservoir fish losses were identified and agreed upon by bC Hydro and the gov-ernment. The Revelstoke dam blocked the movement of an estimated 500,000 kokanee, 1000 rainbow trout and 4,000 bull trout. in the past two decades, little has been done to replace bull trout and their number today are less than before Revelstoke dam was built.
The FWCp’s own tech-nical reports document the slow decline of the Arrow
Lakes Reservoir kokanee population since the early 2000’s. by 2013, the popu-lation was nearly as low as the numbers after the Revelstoke dam and before nutrient addition began. Today, the total kokanee spawner population is far less than the restoration tar-get.
The FWCp response to what has recently happened on the reservoir is irrespon-sible. The current measures to produce fewer but larger Arrow kokanee while put-ting the trout at risk is in sharp contrast to what is successfully done on nearby Kootenay Lake. Why is the Arrow being managed dif-ferently?
Clearly, there is no
accountability for what is taking place on the Arrow Lakes Reservoir. bC Hydro points out that the ministry of Forests, Lands and Regional operations (FLNRo) is responsible for managing fish and wildlife. FLNRo is incapable of having an arm’s length rela-tionship with bC Hydro and holding the corporations’ feet to the fire by insisting on bC Hydro meeting its compensation obligations.
The bC Wildlife Federation urges people to write to their mLAs and ministers demanding a change to the administration of the FWCp by removing it from the hands of bC Hydro and demanding accountabil-ity within FLNRo.

Opinion&Survey
Last week’s survey response:
They’re all wonderful 70%
I like some of them 27%
Great work, thanks to the artists.tHe one of the giant pinecone beside
mallards is fantastic the others are fine. The sculpture walk in Castlegar is fabulous this year and would encour-age Nelson art lovers to go for a walk around them.
tHey add greatly to the artistic reputation Nelson has - kudos to the city for entering into a partnership with Castlegar sculpturewalk, i would encourage everyone to get out there if possible and view this year’s show.
DoN’t forget the one on Victoria outside of the Capitol Theatre.
SuCH a treat to discover the new sculptures!
I think those who choose the art need to listen more carefully to what the community wants!
I luv the way we bring culture to our downtown and showcase what we value, however, i find the cost of the sculptures quite high considering we only lease most of them. Can’t we have artists showcase their ‘stuff’ feeless? The artists could hold a silent auction on their art work as it’s on display. They get a sale, we get free art, and higher / faster rotation of the art itself. Just a suggestion ;)
tHouGHt last years were better.oNe of them looks like bones from an
animal carcass.So grateful for the idea and the execu-
tion of it. Totally enhances downtown area. more would be good.
I think one is just oK. The rest, meh! Art is a very personal thing, so would prefer to see some less “contemporary” for a change.
Cool.
CaStleGar has much better down-town art display .
I love the idea of rotating art, so bring-ing in the new pieces to welcome spring was a nice touch on baker. Thanks!
uGly as sin, bring back the Trees please.
love having art in public spaces, available for all to view, enjoy, discuss. enhances our community!
I just love them. i like how they inspire conversation; positive or nega-tive because that is what art is supposed to do!
eaCH sculpture brings me much joy, regardless if it matches my personal taste in art or not.
I haven’t noticed them.I appreciate having public art and the
fact that some of the work changes every now and then.
They’re a waste of space 3%
