Feature Photographer:

Mike Handley

After working for the post office for 20 years Mike start-ed getting good feedback from family and friends on his shots. We asked Mike about entering his photo in a recent competition. “ I just won a first place award at this year’s West Koot Camera Club event. That blue ribbon was total-ly unexpected. I got Kokanee Camera to print up my first real professional enlargement of a bald eagle I’d captured in the spring. It turned out pretty good. I’m always look-

ing for constructive criticism so I figured, what the heck - enter it and pick up some tips on how to improve. 3 judges each scored 9/10 and one mentioned slight oversharpening.Mental note: watch the sharpening {laughs}.

Mike is selling 11x14 prints of the photo shown above for $100. Email mjrh68@hotmail.com to place an order.

It’s dawning on me that I might actually be able to make a living doing what I love, rather than what offers me reason-able security, gray hair and a headache!”

In the following three weeks, my mom and I are taking a trip to Africa with Cross Cultural Solu-tions, a UN affiliated volunteer organization. Mom wanted me to help her teach English, but I would rather help out in an AIDS/HIV facility and by now she got used to the idea. We’re going to Cape Town in the most south-western tip of South Africa. We’ll stay at the CCS homebase with a bunch of other volunteers where we sleep and eat our meals. CCS is very strict about not bringing any items or money from Canada

for the people we work with; just our ideas, enthusiasm and work. I’ll have my 13th birthday there and I wonder what kind of birth-day cake I’ll get! We’re leaving on July 17 via London, England, where we’re staying a few days so we can break the trip into two nine hour flights and get used to the time difference. I wanted to see the University of Oxford, so mom booked us into one of the colleges there and we’re actually staying on campus! I’ll let you know what it’s like!

A Short Shot Of Library

Author of Yes, Sister, No Sister, Jen-

nifer Craig is the first local author

to break sales records of 100,000

copies! Her memoir of being a trainee

nurse in Leeds in the 1950s was on

the London Time’s bestseller list for

weeks. According to the Lancaster

Guardian:

Life as a trainee nurse in 1950s

Yorkshire was unimaginably tough...

strict discipline, long hours and lots

of bodily fluids! Jennifer Craig’s enter-

taining memoir of her years at Leeds

General Infirmary takes us back to an

era when ‘Sister’ ruled the wards with

a rod of iron, orders had to be obeyed

and laughter was strictly forbidden.

But friendships forged under adversity

are often the strongest and so there

was also a warm sense of camara-

derie which involved late-night study

sessions, sneaked trips to the cinema

and escapades with young trainee

doctors. Craig’s trip down memory

lane is a tribute to the resilience and

loyalty of the nursing profession, as

well as a candid and amusing account

of the highlights and hardships of life

on the wards of a city hospital.

We have two copies in regular print

and now, thanks to a donation by the

author, we now have a copy of Yes

Sister, No Sister in large print.

more than happy to ‘give you the dirt’ on growing great vegetables and flowers in the Kootenays.

Walk This Way, Part II Just across the Kootenay Lake Ferry on the East Shore, are a couple of sweet little ‘walk-in-the-woods’ trails. Take your car, your bike or your feet and head off the ferry up Pilot Bay Road. Pull in at Pilot Bay Marine Park or head further up the road to Pilot Bay Lighthouse. If it’s a hot day, bring your swim gear to the Marine Park (too big a leap from the lighthouse, though). This weekend is Starbelly Jam on the East Shore - ferry traffic will be heavier than usual – if you’re not going to the Jam, head over mid-week.

Yum: Fabulous food to check out in Nelson and area. Did you know that there are visitors to Nelson who only go to Oso Negro for breakfast? And they only order the Breakfast Bun. Can’t really blame them, it is OSO GOOD! Check it out next time you’re lining up for your Americano (only until 11:00 a.m.)

Confession of a Dirt Dummy: All this time I didn’t know! Thanks to Nicole at Ellison’s, I know now, but it’s almost embarrassing. The only reason I’m sharing this with you all is because there are more of me among you than you real-ize. So, here it is. All these years I’ve been conscientiously adding ‘Top Soil’ to my gardens. And all these years my veggies and flow-ers have been shriveling more and more to the point that just about nothing came up last year. My beets had hardly any greens and when harvested, were the size of acorns. I had no idea that ‘TOP’ soil is just dirt, plain dirt without any nutrients whatso-ever. Of course, I never asked. I just assumed the words ‘top’ and ‘soil’ meant high quality. Duh? OK, so nobody taught me how to garden and as I started I must have had some decent earth, but over time the nutrients in the soil depleted. Sure, I added compost and dutifully dug it in, but I kept putting down more top soil. No wonder the stuff is so cheap to buy! If your garden’s not grow-ing, it can’t hurt to talk about it. Staff at Ellison’s, Hippersons Hardware, Nelson Farmer’s Supply, Georama Growers and West Kootenay Eco Society are

Miscellaneous observations, recommendations, issues and what-have-yous worth considering or not this week in Nelson.

The Anonymous CyclistHello cyclists. Anonymous Cyclist here again to talk a little bit more about bikes, cycling and fitness. Last column I talked about all of the great riding and all of the talent in our area. Since then, local freerider Kurt Sorge placed 3rd at a big mountain/slope style contest in Chatel, France. In this competition, Sorge was judged on the use of the terrain and style of tricks performed off jumps that were placed all over the mountainside. Good job Kurt! This past Sunday, Gerick Cycle and the Nelson Cycling Club held a tag team ride at Mountain Sta-tion involving teams of two. 32 people came out and enjoyed prizes, cool drinks and a BBQ

after the event, all for $5. This was just a fun ride, not a race. Anyone looking to come out and ride with the cycling club, just contact a local shop or check the club web site at, http://nelson-cyclingclub.blogspot.com With the temperature reaching the 30s. Make sure you take a lot of water and put on sunscreen while out cycling. I would also like to mention that if you are riding on the road, be aware that summer tourist traffic is making the roads a lot busier so be aware. The best time to cycle is early morning when the air is cool and the roads are quiet. Until next time, pedal, pedal, pedal!!

Littlefest Guide to

Continuing our Summer Festival series, this is a tiny festival that gets by on charm and location, and is one of my favourite of all time. Littlefest began when Ron, owner of Little Slocan Lodge and music lover, wanted to boost attendance to his unique loca-tion around bookings for private parties, retreats and weddings. Trundling up a logging road for 15 minutes past the Slocan City, a winding driveway leads to an open rise right at the end of a gorgeous valley. The lodge itself is an amazing construction of straw bale and timber frame and great efforts are made to main-tain the location as eco-friendly. A modest stage is augmented by a sound system that has improved every year and NBC has a rustic beer garden for the adults. Once strictly an alternative bluegrass festival, the bookings have really branched out over a couple of years, following the lead of larger festivals in the area and offering “something for everyone”. Now leaning towards

alt-folk, indie and rock, this year’s lineup is fantastic; headlin-ers include ska and reggae influ-enced Bedouin Soundclash, indie rock jokesters Topless Gay Love Techno Party, Alex Cuba, Aspen Switzer’s For The Birds, and 80s cover band Val Kilmer and The New Coke. Other acts such as Horse Feathers, Hillstomp, Scott Dunbar and others may not be “household names”, but part of my affection for this festival is this - I ALWAYS see at least three acts I didn’t know about that completely knock my socks off! The location is amazing, vendors galore and very family-friendly, with lots of places to camp near the venue. After nine though, the kids go to bed and the adults dance the night away. Tickets are limited to reduce strain on the land and resources, with only 500 available. At $55 per day, or $90 for a weekend pass that includes camping, it’s definitely a good deal and always on my summer schedule.

BERLIN - Two runaway circus elephants in Germany surprised passersby and police by showing up at a bus stop during a brief bid for freedom, officials in Hanover said on Tuesday. Dunia, a 40-year-old Indian elephant, and her counterpart Daela, a 25-year-old African elephant, were apprehended by police near the western city of Hanover over the week-end, nonchalantly munching on tree leaves and

looking for all the world as if they were waiting for the bus. The pair had escaped from their enclosure at a nearby travelling circus and walked some 50 metres (165 feet) to the stop, police said. “It was simply an unlucky situation for the circus,” Hanover police spokesman Heiko Steiner said. “The two elephants were quite coop-erative and peaceful. Everyone was amused. If the two were trying to make an escape, they were not going far,” Steiner said. The police station is only a stone’s throw from the bus stop, which is out of use during the summer school holiday.

IROQUOIS FALLS, ONT. - The tourist booth in this northern Ontario town has a new mascot which some people say is giving drivers the middle finger. Standing 20 feet tall, an axe at his side, Guy-Paul Treef-all — nicknamed The Storyteller or in French, Le Raconteur — is a massive lumberjack located on Highway 11 beckoning tourists into the small paper town. While some drivers have though tGuy-Paul Treefall is giving drivers the middle finger, it’s actually his index finger that is sticking up. “We’ve had people say they think he’s making an offensive hand gesture,” said Iroquois Falls Mayor, Gilles Forget. “Really, he’s stop-ping people to tell a story.” Community devel-opment co-ordinator Traci Workman said the sculpture, by Quebec artist Denys Heppell, depicts the area’s forestry history. “It’s definitely doing what it’s sup-posed to do, which is getting people to stop, take photographs, come into the building, and eventually make their way into Iroquois Falls,” Workman said.

Pack A.Dwith

With eighteen albums under his belt and extensive touring in Canada and the U.S., Fred Eagle-smith is one of Canada’s most revered troubadours. His rough-hewn songs about farms, nefari-ous characters, cars, trucks, tractors and the downtrodden are backed with country, blue-grass and rock backdrops, either solo or with backing bands The Flying Squirrels or The Flatehead Noodlers. Born in Southern Ontario to a farming family with nine chil-dren, the open road and adven-ture beckoned him in his teens. Hopping a train and heading out West, he met with several situa-tions and characters that would give him material for his first album, released in 1980. Thirty years of touring the world con-tinue to provide “grist for the mill”, and Fred shows no signs of slowing down. 2010’s Cha Cha Cha has a definite Fifties rock and blues feel, with lots of keys, backup vocals and grit. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention his amazing on stage banter and ramblings, equal to his excellent songwriting! Go and see one of Canada’s best and funniest singer song-writers working the circuit today - Fred Eaglesmith!

Roaring out of East Vancouver to rock our Queen City again, The Pack A.D. return to Spiritbar. Using a duo format, Becky Black on guitar and vocals and Maya Miller on drums strip rock down to its bloody guts and bones, and deliver a loud and powerful per-formance every time. Best described as Garage Rock, their mix of blues and punk first gained attention on the Coast with their self-released debut Tin Type in 2007. Picked up by Mint Records after relentless touring, Mint re-released the album and gave them funding to record and pro-mote the follow up, Funeral Mix-tape. The girls bought a camper van and then proceeded to play a staggering 157 shows across Canada and the U.S. Dive bars, nightclubs and festivals large and small were all leveled by their fury and they gained plenty of stories along the way. Tired of their blues leanings, last year’s We Kill Computers expanded their sonic palette, but upped the ferocity, landing the album on many “Best Albums Of The Year” lists and garnering fans and accolades from coast to coast. Now playing songs from the upcoming Unpersons, due to be released September 13th, The Pack A.D. are a ripping good time for any true rock n’ roll fan! Opening the show....me! Yes, dear readers, once again I strap on a guitar, crank my amp and yell stuff for about an hour. This time out I’ll be joined by ripping lead guitarist Andy Parks (Vortex Ensemble) and my trusty drum-mer in Almanak, Malik Mourah. We’ll be playing some rarely-heard originals and tasty covers, all at volume. The stakes are high, come see if I can live up to the challenge!

This Week’s Top 5

BC/DC

When did the cow outfit first come to be and why? It came from the Salvation Army. Someone handed it to me and said “Mike I got you a cow suit,” and I said, “What the *&?$ for?” and I looked at it and thought this is my calling and I have never taken it off since.

How many years old it is? I’ve got multiples of them, about five of them. There’s Mach 1, Mach 2, Mach 3, Mach 4, Mach 5

When’s the last time you played in BCDC without it? Oh, I don’t know. It’s gotta be about seven or eight years or so.

You guys opened for Trailer Park Boys on Thursday, did they have any requests? We had a few drinks with them back stage and had some hot dogs. They are the real deal but they aren’t as stupid as they pre-tend to be but they do drink as much.

Starting out in 1999 when you guys put BCDC together, was there a goal at that point or was it just let’s play in a band and have fun.It’s probably different for mem-bers. For me personally, I was having trouble putting together a heavy rock band in Nelson and so

when it was offered to me to be part of this new band I did it just to play with guys who wanted to crank up their amps and drink a few beers. I didn’t really have an interest in being in a tribute band or a cover band of any sort but it was just timing. I was desperate to play with people who didn’t want to play funk. And then it just grew and grew and grew and now it’s twelve and half years later.

And it keeps continuing to grow. You guys are getting in front of bigger audiences year after year and the name keeps growing. What’s the biggest venue or show you guys have been a part of? The Bell Centre in Montreal. That was about 12,000 people. It was a tribute band package tour that went back east and we played a hand full of shows. There was a Zeplin tribute and a Pink Floyd tribute – it was a giant produc-tion.

Do tribute bands have group-ies? I would think anyone who straps on a guitar has a groupie of some sort.

Are the groupies for a tribute

band. Are they unique in any way from other groupies in bands you’ve played with? We’re all married up guys so we don’t partake in those sorts of endeavors. You know the real-ity is that a travelling musician doesn’t have the time or energy to partake in extra curricular activities. There is so much trav-elling, lifting equipment, doing sound checks, waiting around and then performing, so there really is very little time. So when you’re running on about four or five hours of sleep with a heavy schedule, the thought of spend-ing another hour with a young lady is just not in the cards.

You guys are playing at the Royal July 22. Do you feel any extra pressure to step it up or is it just fun to play in front of friends and family? It’s always great to play in Nelson. We try not to play our hometown more than once a year but we are this year because scheduling works out. If anything it’s a little harder – you feel kind of weird. It’s the same people at the show that you are paying to get your gas or when you get your grocer-ies. It’s weird when the people you know are the people there looking at you in a cow suit giving cow thrusts to the masses.

How can you throw a ball as hard as you

can and have it come back to you, even

if it doesn’t bounce off anything? There

is nothing attached to it, and no one else

catches or throws it back to you.

Five years ago, the Evergreen High

School custodian, Tyrone Curry

won the Washington State Lottery’s

Quinto game. “I was dumping gar-

bage,” he says. “Just like today. This

is where I was when I found out I

won the jackpot and took off run-

ning.”

To celebrate, Tyrone went bowling,

like he’s done every Wednesday night

for 25 years. His friend and teammate

Kevin Johnson says Tyrone hasn’t

changed at all. His bank account may

be bigger, but not his life.

He still lives in a tiny house at the

end of a cul-de-sac in Seattle with his

That’s my philosophy.”

Most people in the White Center

neighborhood don’t have a lot of

money. “Sometimes the lunch I help

serve here at school is probably the

only meal they get,” Tyrone says of

the students.

Budget cuts eliminated Tyrone’s

teaching assistant’s job 35 years ago,

so he stayed on as a janitor. He never

went looking for another classroom

because he found a better one — and

a second job — out back where he also

he decided to splurge with his lottery

wife, grandson, two stepsons and two

in-laws — mother and daughter.

“My mom was the mother of the

neighborhood. All the kids came to

our house, so that’s why my home

is open, too. People come, they eat,

and they have fun. Before I won the

money, I struggled. Sometimes I fell

behind.”

Tyrone’s wife, Michelle, touches his

hand. “We were in the middle of bank-

ruptcy when we won the lottery.”

art which will cost him $40,000.

might not have anything. If you look

out for that someone, they’ll look out

for you.’

Where do you find

skateboarding, snowboarding & fash-

ion all bundled up into one? Tribute.

Tribute Boardshop opened in 2004

by Shane Johnsen whose background

is very full and inspiring from a former

pro snowboarder to designer of out-

erwear. With over 14 years retail

experience in Nelson, he definitely

knows his stuff! Retail is beauti-

fully arranged for your shopping plea-

sure, Always welcomed by great staff

thrilled to help you find what you are

looking for, and if you need gear they

will help you find the best gear for

all your riding needs. These are just

some of the things Tribute offers.

They stay ahead of the game by

being fashion forward, which is a plus

in my book. You will find brands like

OBEY, RVCA, WESC, JBrand, Matix,

LRG, Brixton Hats, Ray Ban; the list

goes on. That being said I will talk

about some of my favourite lines

available at Tribute.

COMUNE - Comune makes a man

look good. I really love the tees,

tank tops, fitted hoodies and by far

a favourite is their fitted men’s shirts.

The plaids are splendid, the plain

ones are superb - both perfect to mix

and match into your wardrobe.

CHEAP MONDAY. If you do not

know who Cheap Monday is you need

too!! They are very fashion forward

with a full line for both men and

women from Sweden. Not only do

they make the best fitting jeans, they

are reasonably priced. Fashionable

and reasonable: you cannot go wrong

with that!!

My third favourite is WESC, which

everyone loves. You can count on

them for quality and up to date fash-

ionable pieces. Jeans, hoodies, jack-

ets, shorts, hot little bathing suits -

you name it you’ll find it. WESC also

has the most amazing headphones,

the best I have ever owned!

Last but not least,

LEVIS. A classic chic,

stylish line with outstanding qual-

ity. When Shane said he was getting

LEVIS I was blown away. To have such

a great line available here in Nelson

is pretty outstanding. The jeans are

made well and fit how jeans should

fit, the jean jackets are nicely tai-

lored and will guarantee a head turn-

ing look. Over all, one of my all time

favorite lines perfect for your fall

wardrobe. The possibilities are end-

less with Levis.

We cannot forget about your feet!

They are nicely displayed with a great

selection including Gravis, Converse,

and Supra, just to name a few. A per-

fect addition to complete your look.

I could go on and on about Tribute

as I think it is an outstanding shop. So

many great fashion clothing options,

skate boards, snowboards, helmets

and sunglasses, but it is more than

a skate-shop. Tribute is very support-

ive of our community and is always

the first to jump on board to better

our community from helping out our

skate scene by throwing jams and

contests in support of our local skat-

ers. Not to mention having a very

talented snowboard team with the

creme de la creme of Nelson riders.

Tribute also supports our local artists

and photographers by showing their

art in the shop.

All and all, Tribute board shop is a

must on your list of things to do. It’s

your one stop shop in our wee little

town of Nelson.

shine and buy yourself something -
