Kaslo village council has o� cially stated it has no con� dence in Interior Health’s senior management.
At their regular council meeting held last week, they passed a formal non-con� dence resolution a� er the health authority recently announced it would end 24-7 emergency room services for Kaslo.
Mayor Greg Lay explained the commu-nity spent a year working with IH trying to � nd solutions to a doctor shortage that has forced periodic closures of the Kaslo ER.
“At the end of that year, Interior Health came back to us with nothing,” he said. “No change in ambulance service, no change in paramedics, no change in nurse practi-tioners, no change in contracts for physi-cians…”
E� orts included commissioning of the Ross Report in which Dr. John Ross, a Nova Scotia physician and expert on rural health, explored the current state of health care in Kaslo. Among other things, Ross suggested ER services be maintained using remote physician support of a nurse practitioner.
“He is one of Canada’s well-known and re-spected doctors in the area of rural medicine and his report was really not embraced in the manner in which we expected,” said Lay.
Since the report came out last month, IH proposed the ER at the Victorian Commu-nity Health Centre be reduced to the hours

Canvassers Herb Couch (left) and Bob Hennessy were out on Baker Street last week seeking signatures for the Sensible BC campaign. So far, over 2,200 of the necessary 2,826 names have been collected.
Pot petition gathers steamWhile pot reformers have fallen
short of their sign-up target for the � rst third of their campaign to force a provincial referendum on mari-juana enforcement, they are ahead of schedule in Nelson-Creston where over 2,200 signatures have been se-cured out of 2,826 needed.
Sensible BC spokesman Dana Larsen said the campaign had 65,000 signatures as of October 9 — 15,000 fewer than their aim of 80,000 by the 30-day mark of the 90-day drive.
“We’re a little bit behind the target we set,” Larsen said, adding getting canvassers o� cially registered has proven more onerous than expected.
But he remains con� dent the campaign can succeed in getting the signatures of 10 per cent of eligible voters in every BC district.
� at would take 300,000 signa-tures in total, but Larsen said the aim is for 450,000 or 15 per cent in each riding to provide a bu� er against signatures that are declared invalid.
� e campaign aims to pass leg-islation that would bar police from spending any time or resources en-
forcing the federal law against pos-sessing small amounts of marijuana.Its goal is to use that as a starting point to work towards broader can-nabis legalization.
Defeat in any single district means the petition campaign fails. And even if it succeeds, a referendum is not automatic — the Legislature could introduce the proposed Sensible Policing Act but not put it to a vote.
If it was sent to another referen-dum it could be non-binding — the

NewsRecruiting Auxiliaries
So you want to be a � re� ghter?Je� Laine has attended some high pro� le
� res in the 10 years he’s been an auxiliary member of Nelson Fire and Rescue.
� e 44-year-old was part of the team that helped contain a major blaze at the Red� sh Grill restaurant on Baker Street, and he was behind a hose spraying down the Kerr apartment block when it was en-gulfed in � ames.
“When something really big is happen-ing, that’s when the auxiliary gets called in,” said Laine, estimating he’s attended about a dozen � res over the years.
Nelson Fire and Rescue is currently re-cruiting auxiliary � re� ghters a� er unusu-ally high turnover this year, mostly due to members relocating for work, has le� them with eight vacancies. Ideally the composite � re department would have 21 auxiliary members to assist its 12 career � re� ghters.
Fire chief Simon Grympa said women and men interested in joining the auxiliary should be looking for a long-term commit-ment when they sign up. � ey need to be team oriented, physically � t, and able to stay calm in emergencies. No � re� ghting experience is necessary.
“We provide all the training they need to be certi� ed as a Class 1 � re� ghter,” Grympa said.
Gaining that accreditation through a school would cost around $7,000. Addi-tionally, auxiliary � re� ghters are provided with uniforms and turnout gear valued at $2,500 and paid $14/hour for the time they spend training or responding to calls.
“Given what we invest in training our auxiliary members, we really need them to stick around for at least a couple years,” Grympa said, though he does understand how getting a taste of � re� ghting can make somebody want to do it full-time.
Many auxiliary members go on to jobs with � re departments in larger cities, and occasionally they can be promoted to a career position within Nelson and Fire Rescue. Grypma himself started with the auxiliary in 1976 and moved into a career position two years later. His son, Leo, is the
most recently hired career member and he worked six years as an auxiliary before his promotion.
“We don’t hire � re� ghters very o� en, but when we do it’s always somebody from our auxiliary,” Grypma said.
� ere’s also a stable core of longtime aux-iliary members who don’t want to be with the department full-time, like Peter Defoe who’s been on the auxiliary for around 35 years. Or Laine, who is a heating and air conditioning mechanic by trade and said he got into � re� ghting as a way to give back to his community.
“Being able to help people in an emer-gency situation and seeing their gratitude, it’s very rewarding,” he said, adding that he also likes the challenge and the urgency of the job.
“It’s a great opportunity to be able to help out when you’re really needed and still have a day job.”
If you’re interested in becoming an auxiliary member of Nelson Fire Rescue, application forms are available at the � re hall (919 Ward Street) and on the City of Nelson website, nelson.ca. � e deadline for applications is October 23.
Leo Grypma and Jeff Laine started with Nelson Fire and Rescue as auxiliary members and while Grypma has since been promoted to a full-time career position, Laine and several other auxiliaries are happy to just help when the � re department need extra hands for major incidents.

Weather likely to blame for crashTony Quibell
The pilot who died when his plane went down near Crawford Bay this summer experienced bad weather before the crash.
The BC Coroners office released its report into the case of Anthony (Tony) Quibell last week.
The local man died when his Cessna Skymaster 337 airplane crashed on June 12. Quibell, 53, was the lone occupant of the plane, which had a full tank of fuel. He took off from the Nelson airport at 1:30 p.m. intending to fly to La Ronge, Saskatchewan.
His six-hour flight was cut tragi-cally short when his plane crashed in “high-treed terrain” and burst into flames upon impact. Quibell died at the scene.
Coroner Jed Maddock concluded Quibell died of “blunt force trauma
and thermal exposure as the result of an aircraft crash and subsequent post-crash fire.”
The cause of the crash was due to a frontal system that moved into the Crawford Bay valley at the time of the accident creating rain and low visibility.
“The crash site’s position was within a few hundred metres of Rose Pass and well below the surround-ing mountain tops, and is consistent with deteriorating weather limiting the pilot’s ability to climb higher while maintaining visual reference to the terrain,” Maddock wrote in his report.
The coroner called Quibell a “very experienced” pilot, noting he had over 4,000 hours flying time of which about 450 hours were in this type of aircraft. The plane was also in “good mechanical condition” at the time of the flight.

Found body confirmed as missing man Nelson Star Staff
The BC Coroners Service confirms a body found in the Fosthall area northwest of Na-kusp last week was that of a missing Burnaby man.
Kyung Chun, 71, disappeared while mushroom picking with another man. Search and rescue and RCMP found his body in the woods October 6 about three kilometres from the spot where his vehicle got stuck in the mud.
He was reported missing Sep-tember 19.
The coroners service has concluded Chun died of natu-ral causes.
The BC Coroners office concludes there was nothing mechanically wrong with the plane (above) that crashed near Crawford Bay killing pilot Tony Quibell (right).
An effort to ensure fuel for potential wildfires is controlled at the city’s edge has resumed.
The wildfire fuel reduction program continues on property bordering the City of Nelson, near Svoboda Road, Mary Hall and Mountain Lakes Seniors facility.
“The area will be receiving a much-needed cleanup to protect the forest and City of Nelson residents from a substantial wildfire event,” fire chief Simon Grypma said in a news release.
“This work will also provide in-
creased protection to the nearby homes, schools and seniors’ residences.”
To begin with, some trees identified as dangerous will be harvested.
“Many of these trees have already collapsed on their own,” said Grypma.
Crews will then move onto cleanup of woody debris on the forest floor, pruning and removal of smaller trees and ladder fuels to reduce the risk of a fire spreading to the crown overhead. Done by hand, this work includes pile burning should weather and proper venting conditions permit.
“This will improve the overall forest health and restore the natural eco sys-
tem. It will also give the fire department a greater chance to stop the spread of fire, should a wildfire occur in the in-terface,” said Grypma.
To do this work safely, access to the trails and surrounding area will be restricted, or in some cases, closed to the public as early as this week for the duration of the work. Closed signs will be posted.
Work in this area was partially com-pleted in 2011 and halted when fund-ing ran out. Funding will be provided by approved grants from the UBCM operational fuel treatment program.
Debri Resources will do the work.

Construction on a new 28-unit affordable housing development for families and seniors broke ground in Salmo Thursday.
The provincial and federal governments will provide a com-bined investment of just under $1.3 million, while the Columbia Basin Trust will provide an equal amount. The BC government will also provide interim construction financing of nearly $2.6 million.
The Salmo and Area Supportive Housing Society has provided land valued at approximately $106,000 and equity of nearly $42,500. The total capital cost of this project is approximately $5.34 million.
“I admire the determination and perseverance of the commu-nity of Salmo who are now wit-nessing a great idea materialize into a modern building to house families and seniors,” Neil Muth, president and chief executive of-ficer of the Columbia Basin Trust, said in a news release. “This ini-tiative is a key part of improving the well-being of residents in the Columbia Basin.”
Located at 730 Railway Avenue, the new affordable housing site will consist of a two-storey, 20-unit apartment building for se-niors and eight townhouses for families.
The apartment building will also include a common lounge, dining area, kitchen, laundry room and office space. The townhouses will be four two-bedroom units and four three-bedroom units. The supportive housing society will own and manage the development.
“This project has been 25 years in the making and today’s ground-breaking marks a milestone for us and this community,” said Phil Berukoff, the society’s chair and executive director. In addition to thanking the project funders, he acknowledged strong community support.
The housing society was found-ed in 2002 to support affordable housing initiatives in Salmo and area. It currently operates Salmo Valley Villa, a 24-unit seniors housing complex.

Colourful and controversial for-mer Slocan Valley regional district director Eric Nygren has died.
Nygren served two consecutive terms on the RDCK board from 1993-99 and was first elected on a promise to put the brakes on an unsightly premises bylaw. He was later the architect of a contentious revamp of recreation services in the valley and initiated the bus service between Slocan and Nelson.
Nygren’s tenure on the board coincided with protests against logging on Perry Ridge and other watersheds as well as landslides that destroyed two homes. It left him questioning the validity of provin-cial hazard mapping.
Though his positions were some-times unpopular, Nygren stood by his record. “A person is elected to make decisions,” he told the Daily News during his 1999 re-election campaign. “Not pursuing that, in my opinion, is a dereliction of duty.”
After losing the vote to Don Munro, he added: “I enjoyed my representation. I met every chal-lenge in a very straight-forward
fashion. I’m proud of what I did.”After leaving the RDCK board,
Nygren kept a low political profile except in 2010 when he joined fel-low former regional directors Josh Smienk and Al Dawson in opposing the process that led to a referendum on library services for rural areas around Nelson.
Nygren, who with wife Bonnie owned the medical clinic at Slocan Park, passed away October 4 fol-lowing a brief fight with cancer. At his request, there will be no service.

Police Beat
You can watch the police do their work, but don’t get in their way.
About 3:50 a.m. Satur-day, police noticed a pos-sible drunk driver pull up to the curb in the 500 block of Vernon Street. The driver provided breath samples and his licence was suspended for 90 days.
“During the investiga-tion passengers from the car repeatedly interrupted the constables with questions and sarcastic comments despite numerous warnings to stop interfering,” Sgt. Paul Bayes wrote in a news release. “Eventually they complied so the members could focus on the matter at hand.”
Bayes said although there is no issue with the public watching officers conduct investigations, they must keep a proper distance and not obstruct them, which is a criminal offence.

Manage stress naturallyimprove energy, sleep Better, Reduce Cravings
Our ability to adapt to stress depends upon optimal function of the adrenal glands. When excess stress overloads our adrenal glands symptoms can include: fatigue,
insomnia, anxiety, depression, low back pain, asthma, allergies, blood sugar problems, hormonal imbalances, irritability, headaches, sugar cravings, gastrointestinal symptoms and inflammatory conditions.
The ‘roots’ of the original AdrenaSense Formula Throughout my life I had good health and boundless energy and then suddenly in my early 30’s I hit the wall with fatigue… I had three children under the age of 3, my marriage broke up, and I went back to work thinking I could ‘do it all’. My body did not agree… nothing helped the crippling fatigue until I saw a naturopathic doctor who introduced me to my adrenal glands. When I started naturopathic practice in the 1980’s it was my own experience with adrenal fatigue that allowed me to recognize it in my patients and over the years I saw the need for an effective adrenal supplement.
AdrenaSense® is the original solution I formulated for patients and others who have found it very effective.
The Original AdrenaSense Formula: The herbs in the AdrenaSense formula are called adaptogens that have been proven to support stress reactions and normalize adrenal function. These include Rhodiola, Suma, Schizandra Berries, Siberian Ginseng and Ashwagandha, which in combination, enhance mental and physical performance; balance the nervous system helping with anxiety and insomnia; support the immune, cardiovascular and hormonal systems; counteract fatigue, anxiety and depression; as well as provide vital energy.

Enrollment numbers climbSelkirk College’s 2013 fall enrollment
numbers are showing an increase.Final semester calculations will be com-
piled at the end of October, but the annual September headcount reveals a 3.6 per cent increase in domestic students and a 21 per cent increase in international students.
“Although we are seeing enrollment fluc-tuations in a number of programs, there are also some clear positive signs,” college vice-president Neil Coburn said in a news release.
“For example, we have the strongest engineering enrollment in a dozen years. But the enrollment highlight is definitely a new online program serving pharmacy technicians across Canada. The September NAPRA [National Association of Pharmacy Regulatory Authorities] bridging program intake had more than 330 registrants. We expect even stronger registrations for the January intake.”
Selkirk College signed the agreement with NAPRA this year and is the only col-lege in Canada offering the online program.
The program allows those already work-ing in the role of the pharmacy technician to upgrade their skills to align with changes in the scope of practice for pharmacy techni-
cians without having to return to school to complete a full-time training program. The ultimate goal of the virtual classroom is to provide training across Canada and enable regulated pharmacy technicians to relocate and work anywhere in Canada without hav-ing to re-qualify.
The engineering program falls under the university arts and sciences department based in Castlegar and is part of Selkirk College’s emphasis of giving students an excellent start in a rural setting.
“The option for students to start their university degree in a more intimate setting is a distinct Selkirk College advantage,” says Coburn. “Engineering is just one example of
the importance we place on transfer agree-ments with larger institutions.”
The bump in international students is a product of work being done overseas in recent months, particularly in India.
“Selkirk College offers international stu-dents a great place to learn and explore a special region of Canada,” says Coburn. “Having these students on our campuses brings the added bonus of shrinking the world for our domestic students.”
Some programs have seen enrollment declines. Business enrollment fluctuates year-over-year though job prospects for graduates remain good.
The aviation program is experiencing decreased enrollment due to more competi-tion for students including a new program starting in the Lower Mainland.
Medical transcription is an online pro-gram offered in a field experiencing less demand for graduates, consqeuently fewer students are enrolling.
Selkirk College is mirroring a general trend in rural post-secondary education with enrollment down in university arts.
Kootenay Studio Arts has also seen a downward trend despite Nelson being a strong arts community.
In total 2,155 students are currently reg-istered in Selkirk College programs.

New Riondel ambulance station unveiledEast Shore
Local paramedics and com-munity members celebrated a bigger and better BC Ambu-lance Service station in Riondel at a ceremony this month.
“Having a safe, secure and comfortable station is greatly appreciated by our crew,” unit chief Cynthia Bonnell said in a news release.
“The space suits our profes-sional needs and this winter I know we’ll all appreciate having our ambulance inside a vehicle bay. The crew quarters, storage and training areas all support our provision of efficient and ef-fective pre-hospital patient care to our community.”
The 1,400 square foot station is a modular structure which
serves as the crew quarters and includes the purpose-built stick-framed vehicle bay. Previously, the crew quarters and vehicle bay were located separately with the ambulance stationed at the
community centre and the crew in a residential building.
“We have had such amaz-ing support from our commu-nity, ambulance auxiliary and emergency services and medi-
cal partners,” Bonnell said. “We share this station opening with all our community partners and our friends and neighbours of Riondel.”
The new crew quarters in-cludes rest areas, a kitchen, an office, bathrooms, storage space and a training area.
The Riondel ambulance sta-tion was established in 1971 and serves the residents of Kootenay Bay, Crawford Bay, Gray Creek, Boswell and surrounding areas. The station employs four para-medics and works closely with the Riondel volunteer fire de-partment, RCMP, and Crawford Bay medical clinic.
Last year, Riondel paramed-ics responded to 95 calls, 89 of which required emergency lights and siren.

Re: “Unlikely pair partner up,” October 11
Having been a Nelson Curling Club member for nine years I am very concerned about losing two sheets of curling ice for squash courts. This rink was built a lot of years ago by the curlers of Nelson, not by the City of Nelson for squash courts.
In the next month or so the curling club members will be asked to vote to give up two of our six sheets so the squash club can have three courts. The rumours have been going around saying that the Squash Club is going to save us. I believe just the opposite. When these sheets are gone they will never be curling ice again. This club has been struggling for a few years because of the decline in membership.
The Midsummer Bonspiel was a major moneymaker for the club. It is not there to help us out anymore. But I don’t think we should throw up our hands and give up. We have a great group of curling members who have lots of ideas for fundraisers. I have spoken to the mayor about using the ice surface for trade shows, roller blading and conventions. We have applied for grants to do the cement floor.
Impact on draws:Friday night curling is our
biggest draw and moneymaker with 18 teams with two draws. With only four sheets they will have three draws. Do you really want to start curling at 11 at night or maybe you could have a bye? This will for sure chase people away.
Tuesday and Thursday are men’s nights. Both nights are almost full with one draw. If you only have four sheets they will have to have two draws for sure so every second week you will start to curl at 9:30 p.m. This does not work for me.
Doing bonspiels with four sheets is a lot harder and most events will need to use Friday night to be completed on Sun-day. Draws will run later at night and mixed will lose more nights. You need to have six sheets to host any major curling event so that door will be shut forever.
I am not sure how 40 squash members will save our bacon.
Bar revenue:We need all of our bar
revenue to pay our bills. There are concerns about sharing bar revenue. How are we going to split the bar revenue with them to pay for their courts? They can only drink so much. The only revenue I see from them is tour-naments and the fee they pay for playing a game. Several Squash Club members have put money up front so they can get a loan. If these people get a lifetime membership who is going to pay the bills?
Please attend the meeting, get all the facts, and vote. Curling will be here after I am gone and if I have my way it will be on six sheets even if one is a little sloped. We are not closing the doors and giving up. We need to consider other alternatives… the Squash Club proposal is only one.

On Lyme disease in Nelson
After watching the Nature of Things program on Lyme disease the other night, I felt it was timely to share our story with the community.
A year and a half ago my son came down with a high fever, a red rash on his leg, headache and severe light sensitivity. We went to the hospital, doctors and over the next seven months we saw pediatricians, ophthalmologists, neuro-opthalmologists, neurolo-gists and rheumatologists.
When we asked about Lyme disease we were told “it’s not the right shape rash,” “it’s the wrong time of year,” and my favourite “there’s no Lyme in BC.” They
finally ran the Lyme antibody test on him six months after on-set and it came back negative.
Health Canada has published a bulletin announcing this test has an error rate between 38 and 68 per cent and yet our BC medical system is using it as a tool to absolutely rule out a Lyme disease diagnosis. See: hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/alt_formats/pdf/medeff/bulletin/carn-bcei_v22n4-eng.pdf
Thankfully, someone sent us a link to the Canadian Lyme Foundation who directed us to send his blood to an American lab. Through one blood test in the States we able to get a correct diagnosis for not just Lyme, but also babesiosis and bartonella — other diseases that ticks carry (which he wasn’t tested for in Canada).
We returned to Canada with a Lyme diagnosis, testing results and research papers on neuro-logic Lyme in children and were still denied treatment. Thank-fully we were able to pay for treatment and get him better.
Until Lyme disease testing and treatment guidelines are improved in BC there will be more and more undiagnosed cases. The disease can wreak havoc with your whole body and leave you completely disabled. Early diagnosis is so important. Lyme disease is here in Nelson. There are at least a dozen people in Nelson with Lyme that I am aware of. That’s more than one in every 1,000.
Please educate yourselves about this disease so that you are prepared if anyone in your family gets it. I would hate for any other family to go through what we have gone through. See: canlyme.com/lyme-basics

The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you may contact the BC Press
Council. Your written concern, with documentation, should be sent within 45 days to the BC Press Council, 201 Selby Street, Nanaimo, V9R 2R2. For information, phone 888-687-2213 or go to bcpresscouncil.org
At the last city council meeting we con-tinued the process
of passing a number of updates to our bylaws. It is well to note that there are fines attached to a number of the updates, although bylaw officers will not be aggressively going out of their way to enforce the bylaws, as enforcement will probably be complaint driven.
I have always being a promoter of smoke free places in our city, such as amenity areas and transit bus stops, for the health of the public. City council and staff have already had complaints from nearby businesses and the public on people smoking in the posted no smoking areas. Because fines can now be levied, it would be wise for smokers to pay atten-tion to the signs. With smoke free places such as the Lakeside playing fields, an improvement would be to extend it to Rotary Lakeside Beach as there are numerous children there during the summer months.
Fines will also be in place for unkempt yards, which can be a fire hazard, so both bylaw officers and the fire department could raise this issue. There was a long discussion on removal and control of noxious weeds on private property.
I’m not in favour of this part of the bylaw, as there are numer-ous noxious weeds all over city properties, for example, around the city airport and along John’s Walk. Noxious weeds need to be con-trolled, but no one should face a fine until the City of Nelson has an aggressive plan to rid city property of noxious weeds.
One of the more controversial bylaws will be the removal of temporary storage shelters such as vehicle shelters during the summer. We have been informed tempo-rary shelters on city right-of-ways will be the first ones under review. It is unfortunate that with lower prices there has been a prolifera-tion of these temporary shelters on the city right-of-ways and private
property. It could be difficult to take down and put up these tempo-rary shelters so residents affected may want to consider building a proper carport or garage instead.
Changes to the zoning by-law will bring more emphasis to increasing density around the city core which will emphasize new houses under construction being secondary-suite ready. As well there have been discussions on criteria for laneway housing, which may not be a good idea, as we have very congested laneways already. Some cities tend to spread out but Nelson by its own geography is somewhat limited by the mountain terrain. Nelson is already congested around the downtown core with limited parking spaces, which is a business concern.
Nelson could need more bylaw officers to cover the city to regulate the current and updated bylaws. Due to the fact that it took a long time to update the older bylaws, our bylaw officers may proceed with education and warnings to be-gin with before fines are levied. The bylaw updates were long overdue and should bring our city in line with other municipalities.

News
The City of Nelson will try to pitch the Regional District of Cen-tral Kootenay this week on sharing space in the white building.
A letter on the agenda for Thursday’s board meeting says the city is asking for an audience “for the purpose of delivering a pre-sentation to the board to consider the opportunity for the RDCK to share space and the potential space options at 310 Ward Street.”
The delegation will consist of mayor and regional director John Dooley, councillor and alternate
director Donna Macdonald, city manager Kevin Cormack, and chief financial officer Colin McClure.
Two other delegations are al-ready scheduled for the meeting, so it will require a two-thirds vote to receive the presentation.
The RDCK is running out of room at its lakefront headquarters and has brought in a space planner to look at reconfiguring the office.
The city bought the white building (at right) from the pro-vincial government in 2005. Both municipal and provincial services are offered in the building, but there is also unoccupied space.

This week’s question: Have you signed the Sensible BC petition to decriminalize marijuana possession in BC? Last week’s result: Do you support a proposal to bring cheetahs to Kaslo? YES 21 (15%) NO 120 (85%)
Continued from Page 1of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Fri-day with after-hour and weekend coverage provided by Nelson and Trail hospitals.
Lay says the community doesn’t accept this and will continue to look for solutions.
But they plan on going it alone, outside the framework of the health authority.
“The way the hospital is being managed needs to be evaluated,” he said.
The mayor says medical staff at the Victorian Community Health Centre is doing a “really good job” despite working for an organiza-tion “that doesn’t understand the
rural health care situation” or how to secure doctors with an attractive contract.
“I think that we’re going to get into the doctor recruitment business because we don’t think they’ve done a very good job, quite frankly,” he said.
New Denver and Creston have found ways to recruit doctors keeping their clinics operating, he added.
Lay said mayors in rural out-posts like Kaslo are concerned about the vitality of their com-munities with medical coverage lacking.
“If you are trying to create em-ployment in a community or at-
tract investors, and you tell them you don’t have 24-7 emergency care services, they’re moving to the next town,” he said. “They’re not going to raise their families in an environment where they don’t have that sense of security.”
Lay said seniors are also leaving Kaslo for better medical care.
The citizens of Kaslo have been on a letter writing campaign and Lay says there are over 200 letters supporting 24-7 coverage on their way to the authorities.
“We are not laying down in front of these guys,” he said. “We want to find solutions and that means compromise and that means change.”
Kaslo may recruit physicians itself

Men charged following assaultsPolice Briefs
The Nelson Police Department responded to three unrelated as-sault cases last week.
A 33-year-old local man will be in court this week accused of assault causing bodily harm and uttering threats after an incident at about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.
According to the victim, the suspect approached him in the 300 block of Victoria Street and began yelling and ranting at him. Before he had a chance to respond, the man punched and kicked him repeatedly.
A witness stopped the assault and the suspect ran away. Police found the man, who was known to them, soon after. He was jailed pending his court appearance. The victim’s injuries were serious but non-life threatening.
• In the second incident, a sus-pect was arrested Friday after a man complained that he had been threatened with a knife at the intersection of Ward and Baker streets.
The incident happened around 4:15 a.m. The victim described the suspect, who was quickly located, still at the same location. He was
arrested and jailed. He was due to appear in court yesterday on charges of assault with a weapon, uttering threats, and carrying a weapon dangerous to the public.
• The third incident happened Friday at about 3:45 p.m. when a woman driving in the 1000 block of Josephine Street witnessed a boy chase a girl down the street, trip her, and kick her.
The witness yelled for him to stop and he did. The victim begged the witness not to report it, but concerned for the girl’s safety, she did so anyway. The investigation is ongoing.

Surrey proves challenging
Continued from Page 1Fight HST petition was binding only because Premier Gordon Campbell declared it so.
Fight HST also had many more signatures at their 30-day mark — more than 300,000 — and wrapped up with 705,000.
“They got a lot more than they actually needed,” Larsen said. “They could have done it with less.”
Larsen said canvassers have already got nearly enough signatures in Vancouver dis-tricts like the West End and along False Creek.
Most Interior and Northern districts are also doing well, with about a third of the sig-natures gathered, and campaigns are running ahead of schedule in Nelson, Kelowna and Kamloops.
Suburban ridings in Metro Vancouver, in-cluding Surrey and Coquitlam, have proven more challenging.
“Surrey is a bit of an issue. It’s a lot of dis-tricts in one city and a lot of people that we need.”
Canvassers from Vancouver will be sent to those areas as Vancouver ridings wrap up, Larsen said.
So far, Sensible BC has 3,000 canvassers registered, up from 1,600 when they launched.
Larsen expects the canvasser count will grow to 4,000 by the early December deadline, but that would be well short of Fight HST’s 6,500 canvassers.
Petition locations are on the Sensible BC website at sensiblebc.ca.
With less than two months left in the Sensible BC campaign for a marijua-na referendum, canvassers are finally showing a visible presence in the Kootenay West riding.
Although the local cam-paign got off to a slow start, organizer Susan Yurychuk says things are starting to finally come together.
“Things are looking much better, we’re getting more organized,” said Yury-chuk. “We started a little slow but we’re up to about 30 canvassers now and we’re getting more as we go.”
Yurychuk says the re-sponse has generally been positive but the number of signatures for the riding is still behind what is needed to make up the required 10 per cent in each electoral district in the province.
“We’re a little under 1,500 for our area and we need 5,000 so we’ve got a ways to go,” said Yurychuk, a New Denver resident.“We don’t have a large population but there are wide areas to cov-
er and we need more canvassers, we need to get places in all the small towns, small businesses seem to work the best.”
Yurychuk stressed the need for registered can-vassers and voiced some concern that some people didn’t understand the legal process.
“People have to register with Elections BC to gather signatures,” she said. “You can’t collect signatures with-out that. People see the peti-tion online and print it off and go out on their own. If they’re not registered the sig-natures will be thrown out.”
Anyone interested in canvassing for Sensible BC or want to donate can find more information at sensi-blebc.ca and can find more information on the local campaign on Facebook on the Sensible BC Kootenay West page.

It doesn’t appear BC’s energy minister is interested in wading into the controversy over FortisBC’s two-tiered electricity rate.
“While the ministry is monitor-ing the impact of the conservation rate structure, FortisBC is a privately-owned utility and its rates are regu-lated by the [BC Utilities Commis-sion],” Energy Ministry spokesman Matt Gordon said.
“FortisBC is conducting a review of the residential conservation rate as required by the BCUC and will be submitting a report this fall. Custom-ers who have concerns are encour-aged to participate in this review by contacting the BCUC.”
The report was ordered by the BCUC following customer complaints about the new rate structure, which reduced the price for energy use be-low 1,600 kilowatt-hours in each bill-ing cycle, but increased the cost for consumption over that mark. The rate, a version of which is already in use by BC Hydro, is meant to encour-age energy conservation and was ex-pected to reduce costs for 75 per cent
of FortisBC’s customers when it was implemented in July 2012.
However, local governments offi-cials from around southern BC have raised concerns about the rate’s im-pact on people who have no choice but to heat their homes with electric-ity.
Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer noted that even if 75 per cent of For-tisBC customers do realize savings with the new rate, “they’re still ignor-ing the 25 per cent who are usually at the lower end of the scale.”
That assumption will be tested in the company’s rate review, which will examine the initiative’s effectiveness and impacts on the bottom-line of both the business and its customers. FortisBC originally planned to pre-pare a report by the end of April 2014, but the BCUC ordered a preliminary review by the end of October after re-ceiving 149 customer complaints dur-ing the rate’s first year in operation.
That’s about five times the total number of FortisBC customer com-plaints received by the BCUC over the previous three years, according to a briefing note prepared by a commis-sion employee and obtained under freedom of information legislation.

Safe wayS to trick-or-treatWhat would Halloween be without trick-or-treating? For youngsters, so much of the fun of Halloween
involves scouring the neighborhood with friends in search of candy. While children may have their eyes on the sweet prize, parents may be concerned about their little ones’ safety.
The United States Census Bureau says that an average of 41 million trick-or-treaters venture out every year across the country, and roughly 106 million homes are solicited for candy and other treats on this holiday. Such a high number of people out on the streets increases the risk of injury, and it can be easy for kids to get lost as well.
According to Kate Carr, president and CEO of Safe Kids Worldwide, a network of organizations geared toward preventing unintentional childhood injury, “Halloween is an important night for parents to be extra vigilant.” But Halloween seems to lessen one’s inhibitions, and wearing a costume and being hidden from others can encourage some revelers to engage in atypical and unsafe behaviors. To ensure everyone has a safe and fun Halloween, here are some safety tips to follow.
*Go in groups. Children can be accompanied by their parents while older children should be encouraged to trick-or-treat in groups. Should an emergency occur, having a group of friends around enables someone to call for help or alert an adult.
*Use a flashlight. When trick-or-treating at night, take steps to improve visibility. This includes using reflective tape on costumes and carrying a flashlight or glow sticks so that other pedestrians as well as drivers will be able to see children.
*Walk on sidewalks. Wherever possible, trick-or-treaters should use sidewalks and crosswalks. Avoid walking in the street, where the risk of being hit by a car is considerable. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says twice as many kids are hit by a car while walking on Halloween than any other day of the year.
*Avoid distractions. Trick-or-treaters should not be wearing earbuds or talking on a phone while trick-or-treating. They should be paying attention to their surroundings and using caution.
*Do not enter homes. If an adult or even a youngster whom a child does not know offers entry to the home, the trick-or-treater should not enter. Let kids know they should only enter the homes of known friends, and even then they should only do so after getting permission from a parent.
*Consume only factory-wrapped treats. Well-meaning people may hand out cupcakes or marshmallow cereal treats. The ingredients such people used and the safety of these treats cannot be confirmed, so it is best to stick with store-bought items instead.
*Wear well-fitting shoes. Shoes that are uncomfortable or loose can cause children to fall and risk injury.
*Adults should drive carefully. All drivers should slow down and anticipate children darting out into the roadways on Halloween. Drive slowly and pay attention to the roads.

Irish wake for local currency
Community Dollars
In a world where the biggest risk is the failure to innovate, the Columbia Community Dollars Foun-dation is throwing a party to celebrate the end of Nelson’s second local currency initiative.
“We going to host an upbeat vigil on October 25 for our dearly departed friend; an Irish wake to toast the valiant e� ort of our community and send this particular strategy to its resting place,” said Michael Sheely, co-ordinator for the community dollars initiative.
“An important part about being innovative is honouring smart failures,” said Bradley Roulston, board chair for the foundation. “� is is an oppor-tunity both for gathering people’s stories and for celebrating healthy risk taking in a global economic climate where local resiliency is becoming more and more important.”
Columbia Community Dollars is the second local currency to die a premature death in Nelson. Barter Bucks su� ered a similar fate years earlier.
“We learned from the Barter Bucks experience,” said Sheely. “And the next model that emerges in Nelson will no doubt bene� t from the learning gained through the community dollars initiative.”
Failure doesn’t seem to get in the way of believing in the value of local currency for the management team of community dollars.
“In North America, our most vibrant time for local currencies was during the Great Depression. Some of the models that are less successful in times of recession can suddenly become much more attractive when depression conditions set in,” explained Sheely. “Nobody is hoping for depression-like conditions, but it’s good to be prepared in case they happen.”
� e Irish Wake is expected to reveal some of the hidden bene� ts of the currency to the community, such as stories of new clients, new collaborations, new awareness, and citizens more empowered with possibility. � e wake will be held at the Seed Studio, 607 Front Street, second � oor at 7 p.m. on Octo-ber 25. Admission is free and refreshments will be served. It is an Irish wake a� er all.

Leafs power through weekendWith their parents in attendance for the
annual appreciation weekend, the Nelson Leafs did them proud, coming away with two wins and a loss in double overtime.
Coach Frank Maida felt his team had a solid weekend. “It was a great weekend to have the parents in the crowd,” he said. “The kids really enjoyed it and I think they performed really well.”
Friday night, they downed the Beaver Valley Nitehawks 5-2 at the Nelson and District Community Complex.
The Leafs came out flying with Linden Horswill getting it past Nitehawks goalie Josh Round with help from Robson Cramer. Aaron Dunlap scored a few minutes later, Tyler Garcia assisting. Under 10 minutes into the game, it was 2-0.
That score would hold into the second period when the Nitehawks attempted a comeback. Capitalizing on two power play opportunities, Michael Bell scored from Dallas Calvin and Ryan Edwards. Then Calvin put it past the pipes with Sheldon Hubbard and Edwards assisting.
The score was tied 2-2. But the Nitehawks didn’t get it past Leafs netminder Tyler Mof-fat again.
Dunlap made it a two-goal night and 3-2 for the Leafs when he scored with just un-der seven minutes left in the second, Travis Wellman and Cole Arcuri with the helper.
Alec Wilkinson boosted the Leafs lead from Wellman and Arcuri on the power play making it 4-2 at the end of two periods.
The Nitehawks played hard, trying to reclaim the game in the third but there was no scoring until the final minutes. Leafs Wellman got an empty netter, with the as-sists going to Jamie Vlanich and Cramer, to make it a 5-2 final.
Saturday the team boarded the bus with their parents heading to Castlegar to take on the Rebels.
It was a hard-fought battle against their division rivals in game one of a home-and-home series. Saturday was the second regu-lar season matchup for the two teams, with the Leafs winning the first game in Castlegar on September 13 by a score of 5-2.
Nelson opened the scoring at 5:03 of the first on the power play as the Rebels were killing off a high-sticking call against Diego Bartlett. Former Rebel Wellman fed another former Rebel, Vlanich, who picked up his seventh goal and 21st point of the season on the play. Just 10 seconds after the reset, Horswill snagged the Leafs’ second of the night on a feed from Carson Willans and
Nolan Percival.Castlegar’s starting goaltender, Nate Rab-
bit stared down a further 16 shots in the opening period. Bartlett redeemed himself after sitting in the box on Nelson’s first goal by getting one of his own at 2:39. Jeremy McNeil and Derek Georgopoulos picked up assists on the play.
The second period saw plenty of end-to-end action but neither side could find the net. In the third, Bartlett knotted things at two apiece with 8:24 left on the clock, bang-ing in a puck for his second of the night that Nelson starter Moffat was unable to corral. Assists went to Chase Reddin and Hunter Jenerou on the tying goal.
A five-minute overtime settled nothing despite numerous good opportunities from both teams and a final five-minute overtime, with three skaters a side, brought the energy level in the complex to a crescendo.
With 1:24 to play in the three-on-three overtime period, Derek Georgopoulos took a feed from defenceman Seth Schmidt and the Cranbrook native made no mistake in burying the winner behind Moffat.
When the teams met again Sunday af-ternoon, the Leafs exacted their revenge on home ice, giving the Rebels a 9-1 thrashing.
Maida said his team played well with fo-cus in both games, but with different out-comes. The Leafs had just as many chances on Saturday, but on Sunday,“We buried our opportunities,” the coach said. “We really focused and concentrated on shooting and scored our goals.”
The Rebels opened the scoring 2:16 into the first on a Lindan Calliou tally. Less than
two minutes later Dunlap tied it. The period ended 1-1, giving little indication of what was to come.
In the second period, with Carson Worn-ing off for holding, the Leafs capitalized on the power play and Wellman scored his league best 15th goal of the season. But that would be his only offensive contribution of the night. One minute later, Blair Andrews made it 3-1 for the Leafs.
With about five minutes left in the period, Castlegar’s Seth Schmidt and Leafs leading playmaker Vlanich traded punches. Both were tossed from the game, but Schmidt received an extra two minutes as the ag-gressor. On the ensuing power play, Willans put the Leafs up 4-1. Brandon Sookro added another Nelson goal in the last minute.
In the third period, the Rebels subbed backup Patrick Zubick for starting goalten-der Rabbitt, but it made little difference as the Leafs had another four-goal outburst. Sookro and Dunlap each notched their sec-ond of the night and Matthew Naka scored a pair. Sookro also had a couple of assists to finish the game with four points while Dunlap and Naka had three points each.
Nelson outshot Castlegar 42-20. Moffat made 19 saves in the win.

Concussions, of any kind, es-pecially in young athletes, are of great concern to Dale Donaldson of Mallard’s Source for Sports.� at’s why Mallard’s Source for Sports is partnering with fellow stores across Canada to donate proceeds from all skates sharp-ened this Saturday to stopconcus-sions.com
Stopconcussions.com is a con-cussion/neurotrauma awareness group that deals with the growing trend of concussions in all sports.
Led by former Philadelphia Flyers captain Keith Primeau, the goal of stopconcussions.com is to educate players, coaches, train-ers and parents involved in any sport, about concussion preven-tion, identi� cation and proper treatment.
Primeau su� ers from post-con-cussion syndrome, and has been a vocal proponent of bringing the
seriousness of concussions to the forefront.
More than 5,000 pairs of skates are expected to be sharpened on October 19 across Canada at Source For Sports locations. As an added bene� t, Mallard’s Source For Sports wants hockey par-ents to bring their sons and daughters into the store along with their current helmets for a free � t test.
“We will be happy to check the � t and con-dition of their existing helmet at no charge,” D o n a l d s o n says. “� ere are many kids playing hockey with poorly � tting helmets and cages and we want to be sure that young players are as safe as possible on the ice. Remember, the right helmet is the one that � ts the best.”
Sta� will also be handing out
stopconcus-sions.com brochures
to educate the public about con-cussion awareness and prevention.
Mallard’s Source for Sports is located in Nelson and Castlegar and is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Saints shut out Vikes
ThinkStock/Getty Images
� e Selkirk College Saints have started this BCIHL season where they le� o� last year: on a winning streak. � ey beat the University of Victoria Vikes 5-0 at home Friday.
A late hit in front of the UVic net got the gloves up early and bodies were sprawling throughout the opening frame. � e Saints had the edge in shots, hitting Vikes starting netminder Sunny Gill with 10. At the other end, Selkirk’s Chris Hurry was less busy, facing just three shots from the visiting team.
� e Saints took a three-goal lead in the second, with two com-ing from captain Logan Proulx. His � rst goal was the product of hard work, chasing rebounds to Gill’s glove-side. His second was more of the same, � nding a rebound in tight. � e Saints’ third goal came at 10:28 of the second from Beau Taylor.
In the � nal period, the Vikes killed o� a penalty but Connor McLaughlin made it a 4-0 Selkirk
lead with 14:24 showing on the clock and then forward Garrett Kucher put a stamp on it with only 8.1 seconds remaining to seal the shutout for Hurry.
� e Saints improved to 2-0 on the young BCIHL season and will next face � ompson Rivers University on Friday at 7:30 p.m. at the Castlegar rec complex. � e Kamloops team is o� to a good start also, with a 2-1 record and dominated in their two wins with 15 goals.

Friday’s Puzzle SolvedYou & The Law
TYLEEN UNDERWOOD LAW OFFICE presents
NEW LAW FOR LIVE-IN LOVERS“New law turns shacked-up lovers into married couples” and “Room-mates with bene� ts watch out!” trumpeted headlines when B.C.’s Family Law Act came into force March 18, 2013.
These days, many more couples choose to live together for the long term than get married. The need to better deal with this new reality, and the fallout when some of these common-law relationships inevitably end, is one reason for the new law.
Also, family law disputes often took up heaps of court time. The new law recognizes that the bitter “I’ll see you in court!” approach is often not the best way to go.
If you have children, it’s particularly important that you have a civil relationship with your ex-partner long after you separate. The new law re� ects that it may be better to try to work through family break-up issues. It encourages mediation, getting the help of a parenting co-ordinator and negotiated agreements instead of going to court.
But the biggest change – and the one that prompted the dramatic headlines – has to do with the splitting of assets and debts after a break-up.
Before, if you lived in a marriage-like relationship for two years or more, you could ask for � nancial support after a break-up. But when it came to property like the
family home, the situation was different. Married couples generally got one-half of the family assets, no matter which spouse owned them (though the court could order a different split). Common- law partners, though, even if they contributed to the relationship � nancially or by looking after the children, faced
an uphill court battle to try and get a share in property owned by the other.
Now, if you’ve been living common-law for two or more years, the law treats you the same as a married person for dividing up your property and debts. Family property is now divided equally, unless that would be signi� cantly unfair. You have up to
two years after breaking up to make a claim.
But for both married and common-law couples, the new law excludes certain property from being split equally. Basically, you get to keep what’s yours if you owned the property beforehand. Also, a gift or inheritance (or things bought with that money), or insurance money or personal injury compensation speci� c to you, that you got during the relationship generally stays with you and isn’t carved up between you and your ex-partner – only its increase in value during the relationship is shared.
If you don’t want the new law’s property rules to apply, you can agree with your partner to opt out (by a written agreement) and divide your property and debts as you see � t upon a break-up.
It may make a lot of sense, well before the two-year common-law milestone is reached, to � gure out if you share similar long-term goals and how you want to split your assets and debts in case you separate.
The new law deals with many other things like giving notice if you want to move with your kids, parenting arrangements, family law protective orders and more. Seek good legal help if you need assistance with how the new rules apply to you or if your live-in love relationship sours.

Humphrey Bogart, Frank N. Furter, and goodwill at your theatre
The Civic Theatre has been a place of goodwill since day one. Tom Shorthouse
remembers Halloween at the Civic during the Second World War.
“With the widespread ration-ing of foodstuffs including sugar, Halloween in Nelson was not celebrated with much candy-giv-ing,” he writes. “The Civic Theatre hosted a matinee for us children following our October 31st night on the town. The admission fee
consisted of whatever ‘Milk for Britain’ vouchers we had managed to collect. These were purchased in advance by parents as one of their contributions to the hometown war effort, and our shout when people opened their doors was not ‘Trick or treat!’ it was ‘Halloween shell-outs!’”
With the exception of United Way boxes, that Halloween focus has shifted, but goodwill is always there. There’s a chance to shell out for a good cause next week in a fundraising event for Grans to Grans — an event due entirely to
the goodwill and generosity of one of our primo volunteers.
During the community chal-lenge — where your goodwill raised more than $180,000 for your theatre’s digital conversion — we asked you to be a Civic ambas-sador: to help spread the word. The winner — and fabulous word-spreader — was Penny Riordan, a dedicated volunteer, community advocate, and movie enthusiast.
“I’ve been volunteering with the Civic since the original clean-up,” says Penny, who regularly sits at the membership table. “When the
contest for the Civic ambassador was announced I saw the opportu-nity to use the one group that I’m involved with to raise funds for the other group that I’m passion-ate about.”
That group is Nelson Grans to Grans, an organization of women raising money for the Stephen Lewis Foundation to alleviate the devastating effects of AIDS on families in Africa through the foundation’s Grandmothers Cam-paign. Locally, Grans to Grans has raised $155,000 since 2006 through initiatives such as the
annual African dinner and booths of baking, sewing, and knitting at Marketfest and Cottonwood Mar-ket. They are a group of 30 to 40 women full of goodwill for their counterparts across the ocean.
So what did Penny win? A private screening at the Civic — which she has decided will benefit Grans to Grans. We’ll show the 1951 film classic The African Queen on Monday, October 21 at 7:30 p.m. So bring your wallets

QHow can Osteopathy help you with your pain?
Rob MastroddiOsteopathic PractitionerBSc M.OST
801 B Front Street250-352-7030New clients always welcome.
Quality, individualized care in a relaxed environment.
AOsteopathic treatment is a hands-on manual therapy which aims to treat physical pain by working primarily
with the musculo-skeletal system (muscles, joints, neurological and blood-lymphatic systems).
A highly trained sense of palpation (touch) is used to detect and treat problem areas (e.g. areas of restriction, tension, injury). The whole body will be assessed as a functional unit, in the context of the patient. I use a holistic and patient-centred approach. The treatment is individualized, safe, gentle, non-invasive and involves a wide range of techniques including deep tissue massage, myofascial release, stretching and joint mobilization. Self-management advice is also offered.
I follow the principles that the body is integrated, works as a whole and has its own healing mechanisms. Treatment aims to optimise the conditions and body functioning for this to occur effectively.
Osteopathy can help with many types of physical pain including back pain, head and neck pain, sports injuries, posture-related aches and pains, post surgical compensatory pain, Arthritis/arthritic pain, pelvis/hip/leg/foot problems and shoulder/arm/hand problems.
Please see our website for more details, If you have physical pain and are looking for a new perspective then please don’t hesitate to get in contact!

ANot really-although you might not know it when you see advertisements for investment products and
services supposedly designed to make investing a “sure thing.” The truth is that there are few guarantees in the investment world. But once you learn to ignore the exaggerated claims and become familiar with the important principles of investing, you’ll find there’s much you can do to put yourself on the road to success. Here are five things every investor should know:Patience is a big asset. Stock prices go up and down. But over the long term the direction of share prices is generally up. That’s why the best investors overlook short-term price swings and stick to their long-term strategies. They don’t head for the sidelines when times are tough. All investments carry risk. Everyone knows that more volatile investments such as stocks can lose value. But many people don’t realize that all investments entail some type of risk. For example, high-quality bonds and Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs) may be considered safe because they offer substantial protection of principal. But if they provide returns that fail to keep up with inflation, they carry “purchasing power risk.” The principal amount will buy less in the future than it does today if returns lag inflation.
Expenses reduce returns. Obviously, you would like your investments to provide good returns. But don’t focus on returns to the exclusion of other factors, such as investment expenses.The costs of investing can significantly erode returns. For instance, if you are constantly buying and selling stocks in hopes of turning quick profits, you will likely run up against commissions, taxes and other costs that can significantly reduce gains. You are likely to do much better by purchasing quality investments and holding them for the long term.Knowledge is power. Some people aren’t really sure what they’re investing in. That can lead to a variety of problems. For example, they might invest in almost exactly the same vehicles inside and outside their Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP), which could lead to an over-concentration of assets in a particular area. This could leave them vulnerable to a downturn affecting one asset class or individual investment. The more familiar you are with your investments, the less likely you are to face unpleasant surprises down the road.Professional expertise is valuable. Work with an investment professional who knows your needs and can help you create a personalized strategy.There you have it - five things every investor should know. Put this knowledge to work to help achieve your goals.

QWhat does Wabi Sabi mean?
AAt lunchtime I was flipping through some reading lists and random pages and came across the phrase Wabi-Sabi. What a great phrase!
Thinking back to movies such as “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, it would be the perfect phrase to say before flying through the air to land a most perfect round house kick, whilst balanced on a bamboo stick 40 feet in the air. Or maybe it is an exotic delicious, divine sushi I have never heard of ! I love sushi, thus a Wabi-Sabi must be a new lovely roll filled with rice, perhaps some Ahi Tuna, hopefully it has avocado as they are nectar from the gods, with a delicious dollop of Wasabi rolled up into it. I wonder what else is in it?So I did a little digging, once I got over my initial shock that it wasn’t a delicious new sushi roll that I could make; I giggled with delight when I started reading what the phrase meant. It was perfect and fun and delightful.Pared down its barest essence, Wabi-Sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature, of accepting the natural cycle of growth, decay and death. It’s simple, slow and uncluttered and reveres authenticity above all. It celebrates cracks and crevices and all the other marks that time, weather and loving use leave behind. Through Wabi-Sabi, we learn to embrace liver spots, rust, and frayed edges, and things maybe not being or playing out as we think they should. Wabi-Sabi is underplayed and modest, the kind of quiet, undeclared beauty that waits patiently to be discovered. It’s a fragmentary glimpse: the branch representing the entire tree, shoji screens filtering the sun, the moon 90 percent obscured behind a ribbon of cloud. It’s a richly mellow beauty that’s striking but not obvious, that you can imagine having around you for a long, long time-Katherine Hepburn versus Marilyn Monroe. For the Japanese, it’s the difference between kirei-merely “pretty”-and omoshiroi, the interestingness that kicks something into the realm of beautiful.How delicious is that?To come to a place whether in relationship, work, writing, creating, taking a photo, trying a new sport – instead of being fixated on what is not perfect, we embrace the imperfect and see the beauty in it.So I wish you all Wabi-Sabi!

QWhat is TECH NECK?
ATech neck is a new term coming online that is associated with neck pain and posture problems related to using cell phones and
other electronics. Look at your kids or a passerby on the street who is using their cell phone. Their head is hanging down, their shoulders are slumped forward and if they are seated there is a good chance they are slouching in their low back too.
Why is posture important? The average head weighs 10 lbs, roughly the weight of a 10 pin bowling ball, and every inch that your head goes forward relative to your shoulder puts 10 extra pounds of pressure on your neck and upper back muscles. If your ear is 3 inches forward that is 30 extra lbs of pressure you are placing on your spine. This kind of pressure over a period of time can lead to neck and upper back pain, arm pain, shoulder pain, numbness and tingling in your arms and even decreased muscle strength. Studies have shown that texting while walking alters your sense of positioning, gait cycle and even your memory. We help people with their posture by working on core stability, proper neck positioning and strengthening of neck and back muscles. This is especially important for our kids who are spending hours every day on their phones with little regard for their posture, all during a critical time while their spines and nervous systems are developing. For a free postural consultation for you and your children you can contact our office at 352-5135 and refer to this article.
QHelp – winter is coming! I can’t a� ord my utility bills, how do I a� ord the new heating unit, insulation or other measures that
may be needed to lower my bills?
ALuckily there are some a� ordable options for you, such as, reduced cost energy assessments and accessible 3.5% � nancing.
Homeowners who are Nelson residents, can access up to $16,000 and repay it on their Nelson Hydro bill. (On-bill Financing). No personal credit, debt or income information is required to complete the process, and the money you may save by doing the work can go toward the payment. (Call for more details). � e energy assessment will pinpoint exactly where the heat is escaping, plus check insulation levels, and the e� ciency of space and water heating and more. Right now that assessment is only $60 for Nelson residents and only $35 for RDCK residents (up to a certain number of applications only). Once the leaks are identi� ed, the energy advisor will let you know some a� ordable options for sealing them up plus available rebates. Measures such as weather stripping, caulking, outlet insulators and a can of spray foam may increase the comfort, reduce consumption and save you money. Call today to learn how you can access an $800 furnace or boiler rebate, and more!

CommunityContinued from Page 18and your goodwill to see Hum-phrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn spin their magic on the big screen. Admission is by donation to the Stephen Lewis Foundation.
Tom describes the Civic’s WWII goodwill drives “to rescue whatever tin-foil, metal and rubber products, and cans of fat (!) the kids had managed to scrounge at home or from neighbours. Theatre manager Cecil Hughes treated us all to cartoons and a movie,” he says, for example: “a comedy star-ring someone hilarious, such as The Three Stooges.”
Things will get hilarious in a different way at the Civic
this Thursday, October 31 at 9:30 p.m. when we celebrate Halloween by screening Rocky Horror Picture Show (Sing along! Prizes!). Cross-dress, do the Brad-and-Janet ensemble, haul out those fishnet stockings or go biker zombie — but leave the water guns at home, please! Goodwill is always welcome, of course. For the Civic, every film is a fundraiser as we work towards our three-screen goal, and Halloween is no exception.
We are a community of good causes. Actually, we’re a world of good causes. They all matter, and they all request our goodwill. The great thing is that goodwill is a limitless re-source. No rationing required.
Leave your tinfoil at home. Just come and enjoy your
community, and your com-munity theatre, with a little goodwill in your pocket.

AWell, the obvious one would be to increase the value of your home; however, the big picture doesn’t stop there. The
other benefits include having a mortgage helper. A rental suite could allow you to stay in your home once you’re on a fixed income. Secondary Suites also allow families to stay together; by providing a home for a family member, and keeping family connected. At times’ a Legal Rental Suite can help you to meet the criteria needed to qualify for a mortgage.
Based on “A Guide for Local Governments,” put out by the Ministry of Community and Aboriginal Women (revised in 2005), they studied several B.C. communities, including The City of Nelson. Due to Nelson’s geographical constraints for development, low rental vacancy rates and the fact that Nelson is a College Town, the City of Nelson encourages Secondary Suite Development. Having Secondary Suites enables our town to meet housing needs, while preserving the character of our community.
In summary, if you’d like to explore these options further, don’t hesitate contacting me, and I’d be happy to assist you with exploring the options most suitable for your needs. If you want to investigate further; head on down to talk with your local City Planning Department representative, or if you’d like to purchase an existing property that has a suite, come and talk to me, I’d be happy to assist you in your search.
QWhat are the advantages of Developing a Rental Suite? AA product can be labeled as mineral even when minerals make
up less than one percent of its content. Most conventional drug store makeup has mineral ingredients in it, however it is what is le� out of the high quality mineral makeup that makes buying
mineral makeup worth the extra money. Top mineral makeup brands will leave out preservatives, phenoxyethanol, parabens, mineral oil, chemical dyes and fragrance. Many of these ingredients have been proven to be skin irritants and can cause the makeup to block your pores. Read the ingredients before purchasing any type of makeup and be on the look out for words such as “bismuth”, “bismuth oxychloride”, “paraben”, and “talc”. Ingredients you can expect to � nd in a high quality mineral makeup at mica, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide and ultramarines for colouring.
One of the major bene� ts of wearing a high quality mineral make-up is that it will only form a protective barrier on the skin allowing it to breathe and function normally. Having a makeup that does not clog your pores will prevent your makeup from aggravating your skin resulting in � are-ups and acne. Using a good mineral makeup o� en allows those who have sensitive, rosacea or problematic skin types to wear a makeup, sometimes for the � rst time in their lives.
� e higher quality mineral makeups that use titanium dioxide and zinc oxide also have anti-in� ammatory properties and these ingredients are also commonly found in sunscreens, providing basic sun protection on the skin. With no � llers such as talc, foundations and concealers will provide better coverage with less touch-ups required. Most people will � nd that their high quality mineral products will last longer than a conventional makeup product because there are no � llers, thus requiring less product for the same coverage.
While you are consciously looking at your makeup products also beware of how products are tested, whether a company routinely tests on animals, or uses animal byproduct. Look for products that are Vegan and cruelty free.

QSchool is starting, how do I keep my child healthy?
A Because this article had such a positive response we decided to run it again! Kids are back in school! They are bringing home tons
of homework, friends and of course the runny nose, the hacking cough and sneezes that spread all those little germs all over your house! Next time I will talk about adults, but this week I would like to focus on ways that you can support your child’s immune system during the fall and winter months.#1 The Usual Suspects. There is no substitute for a diet consisting of fresh, whole unprocessed foods and good physical conditioning through aerobic exercise, passive stretching, proper hydration, adequate sleep, rest, and relaxation. #2 Good Quality Probiotic. The Journal of American Academy of Pediatrics in 2009 published a study that concluded that daily dietary probiotic supplementation for 6 months was a safe effective way to reduce fever, runny nose, cough incidence and duration, along with antibiotic prescription incidence, as well as the number of missed school days attributable to illness. It was also determined that a 2-strain probiotic was more effective that a 1-strain probiotic. Probiotics come in an easy to chew tablet or in capsules that can be put into smoothies.#3 Fish Oil. Not only have fatty acids (fish oils) been shown to improve brain function in children but they are also known to be an anti-inflammatory which helps your immune system to function better. They come in small chewable gels (my 2 yr old takes them) or in a fruity liquid.#4 Vitamin D3. Many studies are showing the beneficial roles that Vitamin D and calcium play in helping to support the immune system. Our natural Vitamin D3 production is reduced with decreased sun exposure during the fall and winter. Vitamin D3 is available in liquid drops that are easy for kids to take.We have high quality immune support packages available at a discounted price until November 30. Always contact your healthcare provider for proper dosing of supplements.
QWhat does Wabi Sabi mean?
AAt lunchtime I was flipping through some reading lists and random pages and came across the phrase Wabi-Sabi. What a great phrase!
Thinking back to movies such as “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, it would be the perfect phrase to say before flying through the air to land a most perfect round house kick, whilst balanced on a bamboo stick 40 feet in the air. Or maybe it is an exotic delicious, divine sushi I have never heard of ! I love sushi, thus a Wabi-Sabi must be a new lovely roll filled with rice, perhaps some Ahi Tuna, hopefully it has avocado as they are nectar from the gods, with a delicious dollop of Wasabi rolled up into it. I wonder what else is in it?So I did a little digging, once I got over my initial shock that it wasn’t a delicious new sushi roll that I could make; I giggled with delight when I started reading what the phrase meant. It was perfect and fun and delightful.Pared down its barest essence, Wabi-Sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature, of accepting the natural cycle of growth, decay and death. It’s simple, slow and uncluttered and reveres authenticity above all. It celebrates cracks and crevices and all the other marks that time, weather and loving use leave behind. Through Wabi-Sabi, we learn to embrace liver spots, rust, and frayed edges, and things maybe not being or playing out as we think they should. Wabi-Sabi is underplayed and modest, the kind of quiet, undeclared beauty that waits patiently to be discovered. It’s a fragmentary glimpse: the branch representing the entire tree, shoji screens filtering the sun, the moon 90 percent obscured behind a ribbon of cloud. It’s a richly mellow beauty that’s striking but not obvious, that you can imagine having around you for a long, long time-Katherine Hepburn versus Marilyn Monroe. For the Japanese, it’s the difference between kirei-merely “pretty”-and omoshiroi, the interestingness that kicks something into the realm of beautiful.How delicious is that?To come to a place whether in relationship, work, writing, creating, taking a photo, trying a new sport – instead of being fixated on what is not perfect, we embrace the imperfect and see the beauty in it.So I wish you all Wabi-Sabi!

QWith rates being low is it cheaper to buy than rent?
Derek DienerMortgageBroker

AEvery week I receive phone calls from people indicating that given their monthly rent it only makes sense to buy... Even though I am
bullish on people owning their home rather than renting, I can’t agree with the statement that it is cheaper to own. A few of the biggest missed cost’s associated with home ownership are: property taxes, insurance and on going maintenance. When you factor these cost’s into owning a home in most cases renting is a cheaper route.Now if you think of home ownership as a investment I believe it will be the best investment of your life if managed properly. As an investment you must think long term especially in this current volatile economic environment. You can also improve your return on your home ownership investment by making smart renovation choices and keeping up with ongoing maintenance that improves the value of your home.Purchasing a home will be the biggest decision of your life! Doing your due diligence by utilizing the resources of real estate professionals is crucial. Ask questions, prepare a budget and plan a course of action. Mortgage rates are still very low and inventory is higher than usual so YES it can be a good time to buy if the opportunity fits your personal situation. For help identifying if buying is right for you, make the first step by contacting me to discuss your situation. My services are free and I would be more than happy to help assist you throughout this very exciting process of homeownership.

Nelson Star Wednesday, October 16, 2013 www.nelsonstar.com A21
To all dear friends and acquaintances of our family, we
wish to inform you of the passing on of Petra.
Petra was born in Dusseldorf, Germany and when visiting her mother who had immigrated here, fell in love with the West Kootenays. During one of those visits, she met a local man, Rick Nash, whom she later married upon which she moved to Nelson and became a resident for many years. Petra and Rick had two daughters, Cassandra and Bianka (Castlegar). Cassandra very sadly predeceased her mother in 2008. We are so happy for Petra, now the piece of her heart that was broken will be mended when she is reunited with Cass. Peace. Peace.
In late 1988 Petra and Rick opened a restaurant in Nelson that became an icon on Baker Street. It was called Stanley Baker’s Café. Out of the cast of characters of that saga, Petra was the only one from the beginning to the end of the business in 2005. She performed every function from dishwasher to manager, server and cook. One of her joys was making fresh fl ower displays for the tables, which many people complimented on. Th e greatest unsung task she did was the dreaded never ending paperwork. It made for many late nights putting numbers to bed before herself. Besides this, she was also a very busy homemaker for her kids. Few people know just how hard she worked during this time and how little time she had for herself. She somehow always kept it going and without her eff ort, Stanley Baker’s would have never made it.
Shortly after the café opened, Petra and Rick went their separate ways. Th ey were able to reconcile their diff erences and became true friends right to the end when Rick passed away in 2006.
Petra did have a new partner enter her life, Nick (Kim Nickolchuk), who also became involved in the café. Th eir love, commitment and respect for each other went on for over two decades, through all kinds of weather, joys and sorrows. Th ey had children, Darshan and Medina, both in Nelson.
After the café chapter in life ended, Petra, who had been a nurse in Germany, became a Care Aide at two senior residences. Mt. Lakes in Nelson and Castlewood Village in Castlegar. At those places, she became a favorite of the residents for her considerate and compassionate service.
Petra was blessed with four grandchildren, Callum and Lylah (Bianka); Alexis and Kaidence (Darshan). She loved them dearly and was very sad that she could not have more time with them.
Petra leaves behind her mother, Christel, of Nelson. Petra was so thankful of the generosity and support Christel gave to our family over the years.
Petra was a true example of strength, courage and hope all throughout her illness. She was always low key about it. Never wanting sympathy. She wanted people to relate to her like it was just another day. We will never forget these attributes.
Petra left us in a very peaceful and dignifi ed manner, which was made more special as she had spent that afternoon with all her family in the comfort of her home. One of her last comments was her wish for all her family to be happy in life. Petra’s nature would of course extend that to everyone. By Petra’s request she did not want any formal service. Th e family, in a private time, will spread her ashes on a certain mountainside in this beautiful area she called home. Expressions of thought can be sent to [email protected]. Acts of remembrance can be made by following some of Petra’s examples: buy someone who is hungry a hot meal, save a stray kitty, plant a fl ower. Blessings for all.
