This milestone signals the kick-off of the second half of the project, with focus shifting from civil to mechanical and electrical work. The transformers are critical pieces of equipment which increase the voltage from the generators before connecting them to the grid.

Recently elected interim Green Party leader Adam Olsen will be visiting the West Kootenays on October 24, 25 and 26, on his first trip away from the BC coast.

“I look forward to visiting south east British Columbia,”

said Olsen”. “We have a great local organization that I am excited to support. There is a lot of opportunity for the BC Greens in Nelson-Creston and beyond. Sjeng did very well, he attracted over 20% of the vote and I am confident we can grow that support over the next four years.”

During his visit, Olsen will meet with Kootenay Mayors, Councilors and Regional Directors to learn more about local issues. “As a former Central Saanich Councilor I am well aware we live in a diverse prov-ince with diverse issues that

require creative and innova-tive solutions. I hope to hear about health care, emer-gency services, recycling, water and other important local issues, and I am look-ing forward to hearing about potential opportunities and local solutions that we can encourage our government to investigate.”

On Saturday evening October 25, Olsen will speak at a fundraising dinner in Nelson alongside Green Party candidate Sjeng Derkx and comedian Lucas Meyers aka ‘Randy from Creston’. “Join us for great local food and lots of fun as well as

music, a silent auction and an open mike,” said Olsen. Tickets for the event are $25 and can be ordered by phone at 250-352-7300

Adam Olsen served two terms as a councilor in Central Saanich, in 2008 and 2011, before running in the 2013 provincial election. He narrowly missed becoming a Green MLA in Saanich North, losing by just 379 votes. He was elected inter-im leader of the BC Green Party on August 25th after former leader Jane Sterk retired from politics.

“For millennia, Aboriginal people in what is now western Canada left traces of their cultural his-tory recorded on stone in the form of pictographs, or rock paintings. Often, pictographs were made to record significant events – a battle, a treaty, or even a long journey.” (Parks Canada website “Forgotton Dreams”. Kootenay Lake has been home to some of these pictographs which

many people have enjoyed and serve to document the Aboriginal Culture of the area. Sometime between June and September 25, 2013 vandals shot paint balls at some of these his-toric pictographs located on the West Arm of Kootenay lake. These pictographs are located just west of Nelson and are only accessible by boat access. Police are look-ing for any information as to the culprit(s) responsible

for this damage. If you have any information, please call Nelson RCMP at 250-352-2156 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

On Friday, Sept. 27, the Nelson RCMP received a report regarding the theft of a green and silver 2001 Kawasaki enduro motorcy-cle near the five Kilometer mark of Giveout Creek Forest Service Rd. some-time between 4:30 p.m. on September 26, and 6 p.m. on

September 27. The motorcy-cle, which was in good con-dition, had mechanical issues resulting in it not being able to be started at the time and might have been removed by a vehicle eventhough it had a valid licence plate. Anyone with information is requested to call Cst. D.D.(Darrell) Van Horne at the Nelson RCMP at 250-352-2156 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

CommunityNewsGrohman Narrows Transfer Station blasting complete

The Grohman Narrows transfer station site is bus-tling with activity. Rough grading, drilling, blasting and excavation have been in progress since late June and are now complete.

“We are pleased with how the project is progress-ing” stated Ron Mickel Chair of the Central Resource Recovery Committee and Director for Electoral Area F. “The Grohman Narrows site will be the first RDCK installation of Transtor equipment which will ulti-mately be part of a multi-

point pick-up system that will result in substantial savings and reduced green-house gas emissions from waste transfer operations.”

Grading, road construc-tion and further concrete work will be ongoing. The new transfer station site is scheduled to be completed by late spring of 2014 with commissioning by early summer of next year. The RDCK Resource Recovery Plan identified a reconfigu-ration or relocation of the current waste transfer facil-ity in Nelson as a prior-

ity. Following the comple-tion of the new Grohman Narrows transfer station the RDCK will permanently

close the existing transfer station located on Lakeside Drive.

Grohman Narrows Transfer Station- Blasting Complete

RDCK- The Grohman Narrows transfer station site is bustling with activity. Rough grading, drilling, blasting and excavation have been in progress since late June and are now complete.

“We are pleased with how the project is progressing” stated Ron Mickel Chair of the Central Resource Recovery Committee and Director for Electoral Area F. “The Grohman Narrows site will be the first RDCK installation of Transtor equipment which will ultimately be part of a multi-point pick-up system that will result in substantial savings and reduced greenhouse gas emissions from waste transfer operations.” The multi-point pickup system utilizes stationary waste containers at each site that are emptied into large capacity waste transfer tractor trailer units via the tractor’s hydraulic system. The trailer unit has on-board compaction systems which increase load densities for optimal efficiency. Multi-point pickup systems will allow for servicing of up to five transfer stations on a single trip and the integration of material backhauls. Grading, road construction and further concrete work will be ongoing. The new transfer station site is scheduled to be completed by late spring of 2014 with commissioning by early summer of next year. The RDCK Resource Recovery Plan identified a reconfiguration or relocation of the current waste transfer facility in Nelson as a priority. Following the completion of the new Grohman Narrows transfer station the RDCK will permanently close the existing transfer station located on Lakeside Drive.

House&Homeheating a garage

It is true that it may be cheaper and more con-venient to run a heat duct from the furnace to the garage for winter warmth. Designers and builders cer-tainly used to do this as evidenced in your home. However, several years ago accidental deaths in homes were attributed to these ducts. These deaths occurred when a furnace was not pushing hot air through the duct system. The exhaust from an idling car in the garage would travel through the duct and

permeate the indoor air with toxic exhaust causing sick-ness and in some instances, death. The authors of the building code reacted with a series of specifications.

In one earlier addition of the code these heat ducts were permitted only if they were at least four feet above the garage floor and each duct was equipped with a one way sealing damper. The prevailing logic was that lethal car gases would settle near the floor and could not back flow though the damper sealed heat duct.

In a subsequent edition, the code did not permit any heat ducts in a garage when the duct connected the inte-rior habitable floor areas to the garage.

So the common way of heating a garage space today is with one or more electric baseboard heaters. Besides the apparent safe-ty issues, there is another advantage related to base-board heat.

Heat control in the garage is easy. Most folks like to keep the garage cooler than the house.

Because these heaters are equipped with individual baseboard thermostats you can leave them set at a year round temperature and for-get about them.

For these reasons you may want to permanently seal your forced air heat duct and install baseboard heaters. Or at least ensure that the duct is a mini-mum four feet above the floor (the higher the better) and install a damper at the garage wall that will help prevent the back flow of gases.

I have an older home with an attached garage. The garage is heated with the same forced air furnace that heats my house. The furnace is located in our basement. I’ve noticed that most modern houses are set up with electric baseboard heaters in the garages even though the houses are heated with forced air gas furnaces. Why did they switch to baseboards when they could have easily installed a duct from the furnace?Home Front by Bill Lynch,

There are two types of smoke detectors: photo-electric and ionization.

Photoelectric detec-tors have two parts, a light emitting diode (LED) and a photodetector. These two components are arranged in a T shape and, in the absence of smoke, the light source shines straight down along the horizontal bar of the T. When smoke enters the smoke detector, some

of the light is deflected 90˚ by the smoke particles and hits the photodetector at the base of the T. Upon exposure to light, the pho-todetector generates a cur-rent and powers the fire detector’s alarm.

Ionization detectors are also made up of two parts: a source of ionizing radiation and an ionization chamber. Inside a metal chamber there is a tiny amount of a radioactive element called Americum-241 (Am-241) which emits alpha-parti-cles (helium nuclei). In a

process called ionization, the alpha particles knock electrons off oxygen and nitrogen atoms of the air in the chamber. The physical reaction can be written as: O2 + He (+2) → O2 (+1) + e (-1) + He (+2) where O2 is oxygen, He is helium nuclei (the alpha-particle), e is an electron and the charge is indicated in the brack-ets. Inside the ionization chamber, two metal plates with voltage across them are placed approximately one centimetre apart. The negatively-charged elec-

trons are attracted to the (+) charged plate and the positively-charged atoms are attracted to the (-) charged plate. This results in a small electric current. When smoke enters the fire alarm, the fire particles attach to the charged ions and neutralize them. This causes a drop in the electric current between the plates and causes the detector’s alarm to go off.

Whichever type of fire detector you choose, stay safe and install a fire alarm in your house!

how do smoke detectors work?

The Nelson Paranormal League (NPL) is back and excited to announce the return of the Haunted Heritage Tour but this time it takes place on the Historical Trolley Streetcar #23. On Saturday, Oct. 5 and Sunday, Oct. 6, at 5 p.m. people are invited to enjoy a guided tour of Nelson’s paranormal side from the safety of the Nelson Electric Tramway Society’s (NETS) 108 year old Streetcar #23.

The NPL was found-ed back in 2004, with the mission to investigate and educate people about para-normal activities and the unknown. They launched the league with a Haunted Heritage tour of Nelson and

in 2006 filmed a documen-tary of their findings at a local Hotel, Haunt at the Hume.

The Haunted Heritage Tour 2013 StreetCar#23 will take people on an hour long adventure on Nelson’s waterfront filled with stories about paranormal investiga-tions, tales of intrigue, and a look into the haunted his-tory of the Kootenays.

The tour will only have two runs and admission is $8 per person, the tour begins at 5 p.m., loading at Lakeside Park Station. Tickets are available at the Nelson and District Chamber of Commerce and will sell out quickly. For more information or to pur-

chase your tickets drop by the chamber office at 225 Hall St. or call 250-352-3433.

Selkirk Pro-Musica presents blues artists Holly and JonMonday October 21, 7:30 p.m. St. Saviour’s Pro-Cathedral (Silica and Ward)

Selkirk Pro-Musica presents its second concert of the season, featuring a cd release concert by West Kootenay blues duo, Holly and Jon. The pair is making waves on the international blues scene, garnering rave reviews overseas and airplay in international markets.

Entitled 1929, the new album has been reviewed in magazines such as “Blues In Britain”, which called the album “A delight. Such is the quality of the self-penned originals that you could be forgiven for think-ing that fine old classics had been unearthed.”

Holger Peterson, of CBC’s Saturday Night Blues fame and the head of Stony Plain Records, has

aired it on his Natch’l Blues show – the longest running Canadian blues program; and Tony King of CKUA radio in Edmonton called it “A rich tapestry of Canadian roots music.” The Blues Underground Network and New Blues Canada gave the album a glowing review and a five star rating. The album entered the Blues Underground Network charts for July 28, 2013 at # 4 and became the blues/blues rock album of the week for July 28th.Since then, it has been added to play lists on blues stations in Australia, The UK, Italy, Spain and many parts of the US. A reviewer on itunes had this to say about the album: “Truly, whether you

are a blues fanatic or not, this album is simply a work of beautiful craftsmanship and artistry. It is reminis-cent of the genuine era of blues from the Deep South - it is earthy, political and sublime.”

Holly has been perform-ing since she was a child and started playing bass and singing at about the age of 10. She has played on shows with artists such as Carlos Del Junco, Jim Byrnes, Roy Forbes, Ruthie Foster, Jeff Healey and Colin James.

Jon got his start in England where he also started performing at a young age. He picked up the guitar at age 17 and started playing profession-ally a few years later and

made a living playing music in Calgary and Edmonton for a number of years.

The pair, currently tour-ing the Columbia basin to promote the release of 1929, played four highly successful shows in the East Kootenay in September.

Join Holly Hyatt on vocals and bass and Jon Burden on slide guitar, acoustic guitar and vocals for an evening of tasteful, acoustic blues on Monday, Oct 21st at St. Saviour’s Pro- Cathedral (Silica and Ward). The concert begins at 7:30 pm and tickets, $15 for adults and $12 for stu-dents, are available at Otter Books and at the door.

James & Jamesy in ‘2 for Tea’Wednesday, Oct. 16, 7:30 p.m. at the Capitol Theatre

Six fully costumed characters. Four of whom are selected from the audi-ence. Tea is served. Bring a teacup.

England’s critically acclaimed surreal physical comedy duo lures you into their “delightfully bizarre” world with their innocence and endearing chemistry. Their respective idiosyn-crasies and the peculiar for-malities of their tea rituals bring vitality to the mun-dane, turning an ordinary tea party into a fantastic wonderland of stimulation and play.

Since debuting at the

London Fringe Festival in June 2013, ‘2 for Tea’ has quickly blossomed as a bona fide hit on the Canadian Fringe theatre circuit (Times Colonist), attracting sold out audienc-es, standing ovations, and winning theatre awards in every city.

The performance is 75 minutes, starts at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 16. at the Capitol Theatre. Tickets are $16, $12 senior/student/child. Check them out online: www.JamesandJamesy.com/tickets

TJ Dawe has been writ-ing and performing solo shows for over ten years, winning a slew of awards and becoming Fringe Fest royalty, consistently selling out shows at the indepen-dent theatre festival tour that stretches from Montreal to Victoria over the summer months.

His latest show, Medicine, is a fascinating

autobiographical monologue about a retreat led by Dr. Gabor Mate, to heal stress and addiction, in which the participants ingested the Peruvian shamanic psycho-tropic plant medicine aya-huasca. The monologue centres on TJ’s experiences at this retreat, exploring a disturbing recurring image with (seemingly) no discern-ible source. Through Dr.

Mate’s psychological detec-tive work, and the visceral psychedelic experiences of ayahuasca, he arrives at some surprising discoveries. For those of you who aren’t curious about ayahuasca, it should be mentioned that TJ can make a trip to the gro-cery store compelling and pants wettingly funny. The guy has got chops.

The show is on Saturday,

Oct. 5, at 8 p.m. at the Capitol Theatre, tickets are $20 and can be purchased by call-ing 352 6363, visiting the Capitol Theatre box office 12:30-4:30 p.m. Tuesday to Friday, or online right here: h t t p s : / / t i c k e t s . c a p i -t o l t h e a t r e . b c . c a /T h e a t r e M a n a g e r / 9 5 /tmEvent/tmEvent861.html

Civic Theatre holds first AGMThe Nelson Civic

Theatre Society’s first AGM drew 290 members to the Theatre on Sunday, Sept. 22, to enjoy a pre-meet-ing social followed by the meeting and a free movie.

Financials were pre-sented by Treasurer Rick Dietrich, with fundraising covered by Project man-ager Roger Ley. Volunteer Coordinator Anna Purcell described the thousands of volunteer hours put in to date. Programming chal-lenges and triumphs reported by Theatre Manager Jason Asbell, who announced free monthly movie Mondays for NCTS members.

Two motions regard-ing changes to the by-laws in the NCTS constitution were passed after some friendly amendments from the floor.

“We have a strong board with a range of expertise,” said Mint, who acknowl-edged that there was still much work to be done to achieve a three-screen multi-purpose theatre. “We’re in a great position going forward.”

More information about the Nelson Civic Theatre Society can be found at www.civictheatre.ca.

West Kootenay-based potter and educator, Robin DuPont, has been nominated for the 2013 RBC Emerging Artist People’s Choice Award. This annual award, presented by the Gardiner Museum in Toronto, recognizes five out-standing artists from across Canada who work in the field of ceramics. The award will go to the artist who receives the most votes from the par-ticipating public.

DuPont lives in the Slocan Valley with his fam-

ily and operates a studio year-round. He specializes in hand-thrown pieces intended for day-to-day use: a favou-rite coffee mug, drinking glass, platters and sizable dinner plates, tea pots, pitch-ers and vases.

An exhibition featuring the work of the award nomi-nees is currently on display at the Gardiner Museum until October 13. Members of the public have until then to cast their vote for their favourite artist. The win-

ner of the People’s Choice Award will be announced at an awards reception on October 15.

I would like to take this opportunity to answer a few questions about the new regulations for the commercial growing of Medical Cannabis and how it will effect the Club.

As of Sept. 30, 2013 you will no longer be able to apply for the Health Canada exemption for pos-sessing Medical Cannabis. On March 31, 2014 all cur-rent exemptions will expire and the Medical Marijuana Access Program will shut down and will be replaced with the commercial grow-ing of Medical Cannabis.

First there are the Regulations. When read-ing them the first thought that came to mind was these Regulations seem designed to fail. They were designed by a Conservative Government that has never supported the use of Cannabis. By the end of

the Regulations I had a full page of concerns I wrote down. There was unnec-essary expense with how you have to package, vio-lation of confidentiality, and you require a prescrip-tion to purchase from these suppliers. From the very beginning Doctor’s have not wanted to prescribe an untested drug. There is also a Class Action court chal-lenge already gearing up to stop the new Regulations. It’s headed by a lawyer from the coast named John Conroy. I think they have a case. It’s because of a Judgement I read from a case in Ontario, called the Carousel Case. The exact words of the Judge was,”The Patient has the right to determine their own source”.

Secondly, there is how will these new Regulations effect the club. I will not

be closing. I am asked this all the time. Will you close now that there are man-datory minimums, or will you close now that these new Regulations are com-ing down. I will tell you the same thing I tell my members, the Government can make as many stupid and unconstitutional laws as they like, we are pro-tected by the Constitution and the Charter of Rights. There are 2 things that will make me close the club. First is the reason we start-ed the Club. People in their 70;s and 80’s were com-ing into the Holy Smoke Culture Shop looking for Cannabis to use medicinal-ly and the Holy Smokers would have to send them to the bus stop to score off the teenagers. So, when my members can get a product of equal quality and equal or less cost, the Club will

no longer be necessary. I refuse to send our elders to score off teenagers. The second thing that would make me close the Club is if the Canadian Public was silly enough to give the Conservatives access to the Constitution. Actually, make that any Politician. Only citizen through refer-endum should make chang-es to the Constitution, never politicians. This is the document that protects us from politicians and the stupid laws that they like to make. With access to this document they could strip my members and me of our rights and I would have to shut the doors.

If you have any ques-tions feel free to stop by the Club or email me at [email protected] and I will try to answer your questions to the best of my abilities.

In 2009 the Conservative gov-ernment’s omnibus budget bill gutted the Environmental Assessment Act to reduce the number and types of development projects whose approv-als would be subject to an envi-ronmental assessment. Conservative budget bills C-38 and C-45 were a continuation of the dismantling of Canada’s long established environ-mental laws.

As far as this government is con-cerned, no pesky rules are going to get in the way of enabling big busi-ness to exploit the common wealth of our non-renewable mineral and hydrocarbon resources. Even more worrying is the increasing level of power the Conservatives have steadi-ly been transferring to the Minister to make final decisions on projects such as pipelines irrespective of any environmental assessment.

Enacted in 1882, the Navigable Waters Protection Act (NWPA) was designed to protect the rights of Canadians to navigate waterways with-out interference from bridges, dams, pipelines, logging operations, and

other developments. By replacing the NWPA with the Navigation Protection Act (NPA), Bill C-45 erases any con-nection between navigation and the environment. As Ecojustice stated in its thorough review, “the law will no longer protect navigable waters – it will only protect navigation.”

By dismantling the NWPA, the federal government has abandoned jurisdiction over most water bodies. Just 97 lakes and 62 rivers now retain some protection. Interestingly, of the 97 lakes retaining some protec-tion, 87% are in Conservative held ridings. In the BC Southern Interior, the Okanagan, Slocan, Kettle and Grandby rivers are no longer pro-

tected and neither are lakes such as Osoyoos, Christina, or Nancy Green.

According to Amnesty International, the government’s changes to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, the Fisheries Act, the Navigable Waters Protection Act and Safe Drinking Water for First Nations Act have profound implications for the rights of indigenous peoples as set out in treaties, affirmed in the constitution, and protected by inter-national human rights standards.

A ‘secret’, May 2011 Environment Canada presentation on contamina-tion of the Athabasca River released through access to information legisla-tion, revealed significant harm being done to the ecosystem from tar sands operations. Despite being made aware of the level of ecosystem destruction by this report the Conservative gov-ernment still promotes the tar sands industry as a responsible and sustain-able resource development. I shudder to think what they will say and do now that the laws which provided at least some protection over waterways for the common interest have effec-tively been neutered.

Commentary: Conservative Government shows Little interest in environmental Protection or Management

Dear Editor, I am writing in the con-

text of the new IPCC report. I do not represent a special-interest lobby group trying to increase constituents’ bottom line. The essen-tially absolute consensus about Climate Change is remarkable given that sci-ence is about uncertainty. It is understandable that we have difficulty consider-

ing the changes necessary to mitigate what we have unleashed, given that we easily instinctively attri-bute the climate extremes we are already experienc-ing as one-off events; we have experienced these kind of individual events before and need science and analy-sis to actually interpret that the pattern is already clearly different. We also do not

instinctively understand positive feedback loops and exponential functions.

For our species, which has been so diverse in its cultural/technological evo-lution, in the vast major-ity of times there would have been natural selective advantage to expect the world to go on just as we have experienced it grow-ing up and to continue in

whatever cultural matrix was adapted enough to allow us to have survived to adulthood. Unfortunately, at this time, science which real achievement and role it is to filter out our unconscious biases, tells us that we are headed for a cliff. Please make the Climate Change Story FRONT PAGE.

Expressions Café is a new Café in town owned and operated by me, Nelson Becker. As you know, for the last 25+ years, I have produced a community newspaper. If you’re read-ing this, then you know that we morphed into an e-newspaper. The news-paper itself cannot provide enough resources to sustain

itself. I have to diversify.I have always had a

dream to provide a place for entertainment and social-ization in our community and as such, the main activ-ity out of this office will become Expressions Café. We are located at 554 Ward Street just up from Baker. The building itself was built by Mr. A.H. Green who was a civil engineer at the time. This was his office and for a time he lived upstairs. This man was responsible

for many of this commu-nity’s beautiful buildings such as Blaylock Mansion, the Medical Arts building and this building known as the Green Block.

Walking into this space, you will be amazed at the old wood covering the walls, the high ceiling and the copper pipes. We have quality seating with a maxi-mum capacity of 50 people. We have a high-end PA sys-tem as well as high defini-tion projection on a 10 foor

screen. We do not serve alcohol. We do serve high quality coffees, teas, and other beverages. As soon as we have permission, we will be serving desserts.

What can we do to get you in the door? Are your interests being served at present and we would just be surplus? Please work with me to create a venue to satisfy needs that are not being presently met. Answer our survey on page 15.

What’s the deal with Lens FlareA com-

mon staple of films now is

an effect known as a “lens flare”. What is a lens flare? Lens flare is when light is scattered in a lens system through an unwanted image formation mechanism, well that’s what Wikipedia tells me anyway. Think of it as the sun obscuring your vision, now imagine that, but in a movie. Lens flare is also an issue for many people, but why?

It’s a very distracting element in numerous films, most notably the works of

J.J. Abrams. It was so bad he even had to apologize for it numerous times. Many of these effects often hamper films and they should be avoided.

Filmmaking is an art, and also a victim to unnec-essary effects and shortcuts. To all aspiring filmmakers out there, I ask you not to take shortcuts and to treat your craft with the love it deserves. It may be easier to shine a light in our faces to entertain us but take into account that we are people and not cats. We aren’t as easily amused.
