Food and water safety after flooding

On June 30th, 2012 at approximately 2:30 in the after-noon, Nelson Police received a report of a sighting of a large black bear on the rail bed between Mountain Station Road and Svoboda Rd. The bear was observed running down from the tracks and into the residential area below.

NPD would like everyone to be aware that this time of year bears are out and could be seen within the city limits. Sightings can be reported to Bear Aware at 250-359-7036 and the Nelson Police at 250-354-3919. If the bear is threatening or aggressive, the Conservation office can be alerted by calling 1-877-952-7277. Sgt. J. Scott-Pryke

Heavy rainfall and increased snowmelt have created widespread flooding across the Kootenay Boundary region. Interior Health is advising residents impacted by flooding and power outages to take steps to ensure their food and water are safe, particularly when returning to an area evacuated due to flooding. Floodwaters are often very dirty and food or water that has come into contact with flood water can become contaminated and make people sick.

Drinking Water Safety • For residents who are on a com-

munity water system: Questions about the quality of drinking water should be directed to the local water supplier (e.g. municipal-ity, utility provider, etc.). These suppliers are best able to assess how their systems have been affected and whether there is any impact on the quality of drinking water.

• For residents on private systems or individual wells that suspect their water supply has been affected or contaminated by the flood: Water should be boiled or an alternative source of drinking water should be used until the water source can be assessed or tested. For information on having your private water source test-ed, please refer to the list of Provincial Health Officer Approved Drinking Water Testing Laboratories: http://www.phsa.ca/AgenciesAndServices/Services/PHSA-Labs/Testing-Requisitions/Environmental/Enhanced-Water-QA/default.htm or check your telephone directory’s yellow pages under Laboratories – Analytical.

Food Safety The following precautions should be

taken when food has come into contact with floodwaters:

• Food that has come into con-tact with floodwaters should be destroyed unless it has been packaged in waterproof containers that can be easily cleaned and sanitized. It is hard to make food that has been directly exposed to flood waters safe to eat. Washing and sanitizing food can-not be done well enough in most cases. Normal cooking temperatures may not be enough to destroy disease causing bacteria and viruses if the food has been heavily contaminated.

For more information visit the Interior Health Emergency Preparedness webpage: http://www.interiorhealth.ca/YourEnvironment/EmergencyPreparedness/Pages/default.aspx or HealthLink BC - Clean Up Following a Flood: http://www.bchealth-guide.org/healthfiles/hfile20.stm

As of July 4th, the Nelson Good Neighbour Program vol-unteer mediators will be avail-able. Recruited by Transition Nelson Society, a dozen com-munity-minded neighbours, many with previous experi-ence, have undergone training provided in partnership with the Mir Center for Peace of Selkirk College. Self-referral will be available to Nelson residents, as well as through the Nelson City Police and by-laws officers, other City of Nelson departments and

social agencies.Program initiator Dr.

Andre Piver describes medi-ation as a “voluntary, con-fidential process for resolv-ing disputes with the help of a trained, neutral third-party called a “mediator”.” Mediators aim to help com-munity members resolve dis-putes and build relationships in an empowering, confiden-tial, and non-adversarial set-ting. The mediator does not make a decision like a judge or arbitrator. The mediator

does not give legal advice or representation. The mediator does not take sides or tell the parties what to do. The mediator is not a therapist or a counselor.

Disputes appropriate for the program may include those between: neighbours, landlords and tenants, room-mates or other relationships. In the future, services or training may be made avail-able to other organizations for their internal use. Disputes NOT appropriate include:

non-negotiable disputes (e.g. against the law), domestic violence, when one party declines mediation, or where parties are wanting to deter-mine guilt or innocence.

Residents may contact the program for assistance by providing a contact number and the best times to receive a return call within one busi-ness day at 250-551-0262 or by email at [email protected]. For more information visit www.tran-sitionnelson.org.

Following almost a year of some of the most intensive training in the Canadian Forces, Master Corporal Tyler Salmond, from Nelson B.C., has received his Search and Rescue Technician (SAR Tech) Wings and dis-tinctive orange beret.

MCpl Salmond joined the Canadian Forces in 2002 as an infantry sol-dier with the 3rd Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry based in Edmonton. He served as a sniper in Afghanistan in 2009. Following his tour to Kandahar, he set out for a new challenge as a Search and Rescue Technician.

“I want to thank my family and friends for being so supportive along my journey to becoming a SAR tech,” said MCpl Salmond.

MCpl Salmond will now be posted to 442 Transport and Rescue Squadron in Comox, British Columbia.

A new report released June 26 2012, reveals some staggering statistics on pov-erty in Nelson. The 4th Annual Report Card on Homelessness for Nelson BC documents the following for our community:

Food Bank Use: Record High Remains For 2011

•Food Bank use, on an incline in Nelson for years, reached record high in 2010, and remained steady at that level for 2011 with 18,306 visits to local food banks

•1 in every 4 individuals helped by local food banks were children

•Working people turned to food banks. A Food Cupboard snapshot revealed that 1 in 4 adults receiving food bank assistance were employed at some level.

•Further Food Cupboard statistics reveal that 99% of their customers are local resi-dents, with over 50% living in this community for over a decade.

Emergency Shelter Use: A Range Of Citizens Are Supported

•207 people stayed at Stepping Stones For Success Emergency Shelter in 2011

•This represents a small decrease of 9% in shelter stays between 2010 and 2011

•Demographic data indi-cates that indicates that a diverse range of people were supported including women, children, seniors and working people.

•11 months old: youngest child who stayed at the shel-ter. 69 years old: most senior individual supported by the shelter.

Beyond the statistics, this year’s report also highlights evidence based solutions, including some taking place right here in Nelson, as well as ways that we can all get involved in making a differ-ence here at home.

KCR Transmitter Campaign raises over $15,000Kootenay Co-op Radio

reports that the 2012 Spring Membership Drive was a great success. The station surpassed its $13,000 goal, raising over $15,000 in the month-long campaign.

May 2012 marked more than 40 new members joining the co-op for the first time,

and over 40 local business-es becoming part of KCR’s Friends card—a benefits card given to members, which pro-vides discounts and deals at local businesses who support our community radio station.

Community-driven sup-port is particularly important to KCR this year. The station

is required to move it’s trans-mitter from it’s current loca-tion atop the Kootenay Lake Hospital. This move requires not only the physical move of the antenna, which will cost $2,000, but also a $3,000 engineering fee and replacing the current transmitter with a more reliable $5,000 stereo

transmitter. Anyone wanting to keep

KCR on the air to continue providing local and global independent news, music and spoken word, should contrib-ute by comeing down to the station at 308A Hall Street or go to their website: www.koo-tenaycoopradio.com.

Normal University”: this sign rests on the side of a building at Taiyuan Normal University (TNU) in Taiyuan, China. The three-year English diploma program housed in this building represents a unique collaboration between TNU and Selkirk College in British Columbia.

TNU develops and delivers the curriculum, which focuses on Applied English for Education, Business and Tourism, and prepares the students for the English leaving test that Chinese graduates are required to write. The University manages logistics for the program, including student and faculty recruitment. Selkirk College provides an annual placement assess-ment for each student as per Selkirk College’s English Language Program (ELP) as well as opportunities for sharing curriculum, teaching expertise, and profes-sional development.

This is without question a win-win situation. Selkirk College faculty gain a better understanding of English Language education in China through work-ing at the university. Graduates of the Selkirk College TESOL Program can opt to participate in an interna-

Science & Technology: Rhubarb Leaf Growth Ratemust remain open to new rules (i.e. laws or theories) that fit the data, and also to new data that may require a re-interpreta-tion of the rules, or the development of new rules. Even when a rule is found to be inaccurate in some context, it often continues to have validity in certain areas. For example, Newton’s Law of Gravitation still can be used for a wide range of practical calculations involving gravity, however, there are certain areas where Newton’s law of gravitation is superceded by Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. For example, in calculations involving the geometrical impact of gravity on the

transmission of light.It often does not occur to us to use

science in our everyday lives, but there are many ways this could be done. For example, my daughter, Alexandra, recently measured the length of a Rhubarb leaf each day for a period of

time this spring. She then graphed the results including the uncertainty in her measurements (refer to plot), and came up with a rule. This particular leaf grew 0.765 mm per day. Using this rule we could predict the length of the leaf, say, 3 days after the end of the experiment.Welcome to a new Science and

Technology Column hosted by The Express News Update. We will be exploring science and technology as it manifests itself in the classroom, at home, around town, and in local companies and institutions.

Science is often perceived as something difficult to understand and to undertake, but in essence it is com-prised of two simple aspects: (1) obser-vation, or in other words “measurement of a phenomenon”, and (2) the creation of rules which are in close agreement (as close as possible) with the mea-surements, and which permit predic-tions to be made for future cases.

Technology is the application of scientific rules for practical purposes.

Note that all measurements have some uncertainty associated with them,

yet we try to make measure-ments as carefully, objectively, and with as little uncertainty or error as possible. A scientist

Science & Technology: Rhubarb Leaf Growth Rate

RawBC: RawTOUR of Southern Interior Thursday, July 12, 6:30 p.m. -8:30 p.m. at the Kootenay Co-op, 295 Baker Street, Nelson

On July 12th, Clive Langton, a Director of the Raw Food Society of BC (RawBC), will be in Nelson giving a health presentation at the Kootenay Co-op.

RawBC is a non-profit society pro-moting health through eating more liv-ing foods.

RawBC has been experiencing increased growth as people in BC have been realizing that there are beneficial and natural ways to increase one’s health by making some simple changes.

Given that our medical paradigm is overstretched trying to deal with the increased sickness and diseases, people are looking to make the necessary alter-native changes.

Disorders such as Obesity, over-weight, arthritis, cancers, heart disorders, inflammations, can all be diminished by making healthy choices.

At the stops along the RawTOUR route, there will be informal get-togeth-ers of people in the community, who are health interested. At these get-togethers,

Clive Langton will facilitate an interac-tive presentation.

The objective of the get-together is to share our health journey, by identify-ing our health challenges and achieve-ments.

lt will be an enjoyable and beneficial experience.

The event is free.For more information, contact

DISCLAIMER: This information is for educational purposes only and is not intended to replace the advice of your own veterinarian. Dr. Andrew Jones resigned from the College of Veterinarians of B.C. effective December 1st 2010, meaning he cannot answer specific questions about your pet’s medical issues or make specific medical recommendations for your pet

Most pet owners can eas-ily tell if their dog has an ear infection by looking into and their dog’s ear. A normal ear is light pink, not tender and easy to examine. In dog ear infec-tions you will see a foul-smell-ing black, yellow or brown dis-charge. The ears may be very red and tender.

White vinegar (acetic acid) is very effective at removing debris from the ears and killing

the yeast and bacteria responsible for ear infections. The vinegar is anti-fungal, so in many cases it alone can resolve your dog’s ear infection. If your dog has red, open wounds, do not use this as it will be painful. You need to use a soothing topical first (i.e. olive oil and Vitamin E). Dilute the vinegar with water 50:50, pick up a syringe from your local pharmacy and put 5 ml of the vinegar solution per 20 lbs of body weight into the affected ear. (Your cat would get 2.5 ml or 1/2 a tsp). Grab the ear where it attaches to the head (at the ear base), gently squeeze your thumb and forefinger together, rubbing the solution deep into the ear canals. Wipe the inside of the ear well with cotton balls to remove debris coming from the ear canal. Continue to do this daily for 5-7 days. For dogs with recurring infections, this can be

How to treat dog ear infections naturallydone weekly.

Healing oils are especially helpful if your dog’s ears are inflamed and difficult to touch. You can use a mixture of 1 table-spoon of Olive Oil combined with 1 capsule of Vitamin E and crushed garlic. Insert that into your pets ear. Let it soak for 5 minutes, then rub the base of the ear well and wipe out excess debris with a cotton ball. The gar-lic is anti-fungal, so often helps with recurring ear infections.

For dogs that get recur-ring ear infections it is impor-tant to try a less allergenic diet. It should include a completely different protein with minimal added ingredients. One example commercial diet is made of fish and sweet potato.

Essential Fatty Acids are a must for any allergy that trig-gers recurring ear infections. The therapeutic dog dose is 1000 mg

per 10lbs of body weight daily. An inexpensive option is to use flax oil, the dose being 1 table-spoon per 50lbs of body weight daily.

A common remedy most pet owners have around their home are antihistamines. Benadryl is the most commonly used anti-histamine. It is given at a dose of 1 mg per pound of body weight, 2-3 times a day. It is best to consult your veterinarian before using these medications. It often takes 14 days of using these to see if they are helping.

Most ear infections produce red, inflamed ears, so it is impor-tant to decrease the inflamma-tion. Aloe and Calendula can be applied topically in the ears twice daily to decrease inflammation. These have anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, and in many cases successfully resolve the ear infection.

Last week’s survey responses:

90% of our survey responses say there is a difference, while 10% disagree.

Do you think there is a difference between Canadians and Americans?

I think the differences are less-ening with this current federal government...and that is unfor-tunate. I like the image that the world has of us and although we are not perfect, we are a good country with good people in it.

MOST Americans seem to have fallen for the lie that “govern-ment is the problem, and if we get it out of the way, the corporations will fix everything”. Hopefully, most Canadians still realize that OUR government is only a prob-lem when the rich BUY IT out from under the people!

I’M an immigrant from the US. To me Canadians seem more likely to feel a sense of inclusive-ness and obligation to take care of others in the community. There are Americans with those values, too, but they are not in positions of leadership in the economy or government or media.

THE US has become a the-ocracy.

YES, but Canadians (and Canadian society) are slowly being americanized, whether they’re aware of it or not, through the efforts of the Harper/Republican government.

ALTHOUGH it is a gener-alization, I feel Canadians are kinder, less fearful of each other, offer more heartfelt benevolence and are smarter. this from an American ExPat

CANADIANS share a British ‘tradition’ whether they are aware of it or not.

PHYSICALLY? No! Mentally? a tiny bit

MUCH to the chagrin many Canadians, I have yet to see any substantive difference

ALTHOUGH I feel there is a difference in fundamen-tals, Canada is leaning closer to American politics and capitalism, which scares the crap out of me.

I am a duel citizen. I know what its like to live in both places. People can be kind and they can be ignorant anywhere. Here prej-udice is often couched in politi-cal correctness. When I lived in Nelson, my kids were beset by bullying and teasing because they were from the states. The pre-sumably open minded and non prejudiced Nelsonians are just as prejudiced and intolerant in their own way. A lot of talk about gen-tleness and tolerance and the law of karma abounds....but a bunch of kids in a circle around a kid who is different is the same prob-lem of ignorance anywhere. The very fact that you would even ask such a question in a newspaper implies that this is a significant thing to focus on. Cheers.

I am a Canadian that used to be married to an American. I know now that there are many differences, in culture, in speech, in outlooks, and even in aggres-sion.

MINOR differences but on the whole, not a lot. Lately Canadian have more even closer to Americans, becoming as easily mislead by the media (as its own-ership gets concentrated), aban-doning the poor and the helpless, and voting less or inanely if they do. What will it take to shake people awake from their stupor (and stupidity)?

BUT we better keep an eye on health care and our declining democracy

CANADIANS are less brash, less fearful, less easily duped, less paranoid and think they can solve problems without resort to guns or lawyers.

MY experience has been that the average Canadian is more polite than the average American. I know that sounds like a huge generalization, but hey, you asked.

By Nelson BeckerWalmart to manage Lakeside ParkJuly 13 2013 -

The City of Nelson - half a million dol-lars in debt - has agreed to privatize Lakeside Park. The City of Nelson has concluded an agree-ment with Walmart International to

operate Lakeside Park. As part of the understanding, they will build a two

story facility for shopping with a green roof to provide recreational activites for the community. By leasing Lakeside Park, the City will more than recover the half a million dollar debt and be able to provide the communtiy with much needed amenities.

Dear reader, this is an April fools joke in July. Walmart has not leased Lakeside Park, but this is a serious issue as our City is leasing and has leased our public property to private groups and businesses.

They have done this without a specific policy or mandate.

The amenitiy areas in front of CIBC and Old World Deli were built as a public park. We want to know, by what policy does the City of Nelson feel it appropriate to privatize our Baker Street parks.

The leasing out of communtiy space has got to stop now. The citizens of Nelson, have to take back our public space. We must be involved and be proac-tive in deciding public space future use.

MP Alex Atamanenko visits proposed Enbridge site

My recent col-umn talked about some important steps for all British Columbians when MLAs in the BC Legislature formally apologized for the Japanese Canadian internment. As

someone who personally fights for justice and believes strongly in equality, I was proud to join all members of the Legislature in offering that much needed apology.

I am concerned that a letter that ran in response leaves a false impression. The apol-ogy and other steps to repair the damage are about moving forward. This was not about blame and I for one would never infer nor do I believe that West Kootenay residents

were responsible for the Japanese Canadian internment during world War II.

We can take pride in our society’s strength to apologize for the horrors of the past. The Province’s apology for the Japanese Canadian internment demonstrates our collective ability to acknowledge past wrongs, learn to not repeat them, apologize and move to the future. May we continue to show such strength.

Alex Atamanenko, MP for BC Southern Interior paid a visit to the Pacific Northwest to learn firsthand about the proposed Enbridge pipeline project.

He, along with Federal NDP Environment critic Megan Leslie and BC MPs Fin Donnelly and Randall Garrison were hosted by their colleague, Nathan Cullen, MP for Skeena Bulkley Valley. The group met with elected officials from Terrace, Kitimat and Kitamaat Village.

They also attend the Joint Review Panel (JRP) hearings and a public meeting in Terrace with over 120 concerned citizens in attendance.

According to the BC Southern Interior MP, witness after witness stated that a pipe-line pushed through their pristine wilderness and supertankers in their waters would pose a very real risk of oil spills and permanent destruction of their way of life.

“We also had an opportunity to take a boat trip to see firsthand where the tanker port would be. This is truly a magnificent area. One spill of raw bitumen from a supertanker would shut down the tourism and fishing economy putting thousands out of work. This cannot be allow to happen”, concluded Atamanenko.

The recently passed Omnibus Bill C-38 basically guts the environmental assess-ment process for big energy projects such as the Enbridge pipeline. There is concern that even if the JRP recommends against the project that the Conservatives will attempt to push it through by way of a cabinet deci-sion.

The 1,177km pipeline would move some 525,000 barrels of raw bitumen daily from the oil sand to a new Kitimat Marine Terminal for shipping to the US and Asia by supertanker. Citizens in the Pacific Northwest as well as in other parts of BC and Canada are mobilizing to stop this project.

To sign the petition, please visit: www.radicals4ourcoast.ca.

The Express News Update would like to ensure that readers are aware that the MLA for Nelson-Creston did not state or infer that West Kootenay residents were responsible for the internment of Japanese Canadians during World War II. We recently printed a letter suggesting otherwise and want to apologize if this caused anyone any hardship.

Editor’s Note!

Shimmy Mob was a success The Shimmy Mob aimed to raise awareness about violence

against women and their children and to bring funds to local societ-ies to support affiliated services. Included in the local Shimmy Mob campaign are Castlegar & District Community Services Society, Nelson Community Services Centre and Trail Fair Society.

Donors were allowed the opportunity to designate which ser-vices they donate to. Volunteers worked hard and diligently to learn the flash mob choreography, collect pledges individually and gather donations at our flash mob locations. This hard work resulted in the successful fund raising totalling $2475. And all dancers and specta-tors had a fun a lively experience as well!

For women and their children who are experiencing abuse in their relationships, please access your local services for support. For those wanting to help, please contact your local society to find out about volunteer opportunities in your community.

Put On Your ArtWalking Shoes!Friday, July 6 from 6 - 9 p.m. on Baker Street Nelson

Venues in and around Baker Street will showcase amaz-ing artists for Nelson’s 24th annual ArtWalk. Kicking off with the Moving Mosaic Samba Band, there will be a smorgasbord of fabulous fun, with sand sculptors, chalk artists, roaming musicians and performance artists.

This cultural smorgasbord is served up by the Nelson & District Arts Council with the generous support of the City of Nelson, the Columbia Basin Trust, Nelson Kootenay Lake Tourism and everyone involved. Locals and tourists alike simply pick up a brochure and get ArtWalking!

Nelson’s ArtWalk offers area artists the opportunity to have their work viewed by more than a thousand art-lovers; it gives downtown businesses a doorway into cre-ative culture; and it’s a veritable feast for the ArtWalking public. Last year art sales reached a record high, and we’re hoping to top that number this year!

What’sHappeningLandon Mackenzie: Painting HistoryOpening reception: Friday July 13, 7 - 9 p.m. Artist Talk: Saturday July 14, 1 p.m. Touchstones Nelson Museum of Art and History, 502 Vernon Street, Nelson

Touchstones Nelson is excited to announce the opening of Landon Mackenzie: Painting History. Mackenzie is an internationally renowned artist, and has been an instructor at Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver since 1986. Standing in front of her enormous paint-ings (over 7 feet tall and 10 feet long), one’s senses are dazzled by layers of vibrant colour, intricate meandering lines, clusters of dots and radiating shapes. What appears at first to be purely abstract is actually informed by the artist’s research into Canadian history, geography and cartography. Continents, time zones, satellites and shipping routes overlap into com-plex networks, forming a new vision of place and history. This combina-tion of intellectual rigour and the sheer beauty of painterly abstraction has lent her work broad appeal. Mapping History will feature some of her most celebrated large scale paintings, as well as a selection of other smaller works. All are welcome to the opening on Friday July 13th from 7-9pm. Mackenzie will also be giving an artist talk Saturday July 14th at 1pm, admission by donation. The exhibition runs from July 14th to September 16th.
