Shows cancelled at the Royalbuilding owner plans to carry on at present location

Photo by NelsoN becker

Notice posted in the window at the Royal advises ticket holders for cancelled shows who to contact

by Nelson BeckerA notice has been posted on the

door of the royal notifying people that performances have been cancelled. According to luke Menkes, the owner and landlord of the building, a continu-ing dispute came to a head yesterday when he discovered the liquor license and all the alcohol had been removed from the royal on baker. All concert promotional material had been removed from the windows. Mankes said all of the previous tenants personal effects had also been removed.

Prior, Menkes said he had informed the leasors of the royal that they had not fulfilled their lease agreement and that if they would not do so, he would be forced to change the locks on the premises. Menkes said that the dispute was hurting the future of the royal, as his intent is to continue the century old drinking and performance estab-lishment. Menkes said he changed the locks only after sensing the leasors had abandoned the premises.

the express News Update con-tacted howie ross, leasor of the royal but he was unavailable for comment.

A poster in the window of the royal advises ticket holders of can-celled shows to contact the proprieter of Urban legends at 533 baker street in Nelson.

Composting program Diverts waste from landfillFor two weeks this year,

in celebration of earth Day on Monday, April 22, the downtown castlegar office of rhc Insurance, with the help of Gaia Janitorial services, is sending their compostables like lunch scraps, coffee grounds and used paper towels over to selkirk college.

In 2011, selkirk college began operating a large composting vessel as part of a pilot composting program on their castlegar campus.

sean Melvin, gradu-ate of the Integrated environmental Planning and technology (IePt)

program at selkirk college and owner of Gaia Janitorial services Inc., has been weighing the garbage his company collects from the rhc Insurance downtown castlegar office location.

the first week of com-posting results have been tabulated and show that the staff at the rhc Insurance downtown castlegar office location have managed to divert 31% of their garbage by weight from the local landfill site in ootischenia.

the composting project will continue for one more week and the results will be celebrated on earth Day at

the rhc Insurance down-town castlegar office loca-tion with a prize awarded to the person voted most envi-ronmentally improved.

PoliceNewsPolice News: suicide prevented

On Sunday, Apr. 14, .at approximately 7:18 p.m. Nelson Police Department (NPD) members received a report of a female attempt-ing to climb to the top of the orange bridge. Members arrived on scene to find a known 23 year old female and Nelson resident seated precar-

iously atop the bridge struc-ture in an agitated emotional state. the female expressed a desire to jump from the bridge structure as a suicide attempt. NPD members immedi-ately closed down access to the bridge and engaged in lengthy negotiations with the young female. Nelson Fire

Department, bc Ambulance service and Nelson search and rescue were also called to the scene to assist. After approximately one hour of effective negotiations by NPD members, and with the assistance of the Nelson Fire Department members and ladder truck, the female was

eventually safely removed from the bridge and brought to safety. the female was later transported to kootenay lake regional hospital where she was committed based on a mental health assessment conducted by a physician.

On Tuesday, Apr. 16 at 10 p.m. Zachary knodel, age 16, ran away from home. Zachary was last seen at 12 tribes in south slocan, bc. Zachary had been staying in the care of a friend there and was due to travel to Winnipeg in May to re-unite with his mother. It is unknown at this time if Zachary was heading east to Winnipeg or not as he has family members in chilliwack, Dawson creek, and kelowna. Zachary may

also be using the last names of DloUhy or sheets.

Zachary is described as age 16, 5’6 to 5’7 , wt 140 pound (slim), hair- black buzz cut, eyes-brown wear-ing-jeans, hoody, and pos-sibly a backpack.

the Nelson rcMP are asking if anyone has seen or been in contact with Zachary to call Nelson rcMP. In particular if any motorists in the south slocan area saw a young boy hitchhiking on

tuesday evening around 10:10 p.m. near the south slocan junction to also call the rcMP.

Salmo RCMP have been receiving complaints regarding companies send-ing mail to local residents hiring for a “customer service evaluator” position. A cheque is enclosed in the letter for several thousand dollars and recipients are asked to go purchase prod-ucts at various stores. Police

have made calls to the dif-ferent companies listed at the top of the letters and representatives have not answered police questions about the position or com-pany. Police are reminding the public to be vigilant when receiving unsolic-ited mail asking people to cash cheques for large sums of money, these types of requests are usually frauds.

How do glow-in-the-dark toys work?

the glow-in-the-dark substance in a toy is a phos-phor, a type of compound that exhibits a sustained glow, called phosphores-cence, after having been energized by light. the word phosphor comes from Greek and means “light bearer”. Phosphorescence is a process that involves the slow and continuous release of stored energy from a compound in the

form of light. When energy from light is absorbed by a chemical compound, such as phosphors, the energy has been trapped by electrons that have entered a higher energy state around a mol-ecule.

Normally, when the elec-trons jump from the higher energy state back to a lower energy state, the transition is very rapid (on the order of nanoseconds) and releases light all at once. however, in phosphorescence, the release is very slow because the probability of re-emitting light is very low. this is

because the energy is trapped in an unusual higher energy state, called a triplet state, and the transition back to a lower energy state is unfa-voured by the rules of quan-tum mechanics. the triplet lifetime of phosphors can range from seconds up to hours because there is a low probability of the occurrence of transitions that give off light.

In essence, the very slow degradation from a high ener-gy state allows phosphors to store light energy and to re-emit the light over long time periods – even when it

is dark! In toys, there are two

types of phosphors that are generally used. the first is zinc sulfide, a chemical com-pound with the formula Zns. Zns is most often found in combination with a copper activator in toys because the activator prolongs the afterglow of the phosphor. A newer phosphor, called strontium aluminate and its activator europium, are now the phosphor of choice for toy manufacturers because it is ten times brighter than regular phosphors and lasts ten times longer.

Sound reduction in basement suite

Unfortunately there is no way to completely stop noise from spilling into an adjacent suite. Usually the base notes of a stereo sys-tem are the most difficult to deal with. the success of any assembly at reduc-ing sound transfer is often directly proportionate to your budget, (the more you spend, the more effective the results). here are some typical sound reducing floor assemblies that you can use

in singly or in combination if your budget can afford it.

the simplest and most common strategy is to fill the floor joist cavity with fiberglass batt insulation. before installing the ceiling drywall in the suite you can also install resilient sound channels perpendicular to the floor/ceiling joists. the ceiling drywall is then attached or hung from these channels. this creates an air gap and reduces the contact surfaces between the drywall and the floor / ceiling joists,

thus reducing sound trans-mission. If you increase the drywall thickness to 5/8 inch from 1/2 inch your assembly will benefit from the addi-tional mass. Although less common, some assemblies substitute “donna conna” soundboard for the resilient channels and attach the dry-wall through the board to the floor/ceiling joists with longer screws.

since one of the best sound deadeners is mass you can also consider lay-ing heavy underlay and

carpet on the upper side of the assembly. Although more costly and difficult to install, the best single com-ponent in sound control is a 1 1/2 inch skim coat of concrete on the upper side of the floor/ceiling assem-bly.you can research the amount of sound transmis-sion for various assemblies under the heading “sound transmission class” ratings. An “str” of 50 is consid-ered the standard minimum in residential construction today.

We will be renovating the basement into a suite but we’re concerned about the possibility of noise transferring through the floor. How can we deaden or prevent this noise transfer?

Rory on the townby Rory Case

Mongolian Bling“Art is not a tool to make money, art is for healing society. Artists are the doctors.”

on Wednesday night, Nelson had its first ‘Mini-Mongolian’ film fest. Fliks hosted two feature films from central Asia back-to-back. I was for-tunate enough to attend the first one titled “Mongolian bling.” A docu-mentary directed by benj binks.

the premise of the film was about Mongolian hip-hop and what political battles really lay beneath each verse. In Mongolia, the hip hop stars are observant, intelligent indi-viduals who want to salvage their failing democracy. hip-hop is revi-talizing their traditional culture, as the youth step up and voice their

concerns with lyricism. their songs are real, meaningful and very power-ful. these songs are way for them to express themselves and reach out to their peers when their culture is dying. Most of them struggle for necessities, but manage put forth a positive mes-sage to their beats. the film was not only rich in content but also visually captivating. the audience got to see the urban side of Ulaanbaatar (capitol of Mongolia) through the eyes of aspiring rap stars. It was a new per-spective to social issues these people have to face on a daily basis. overall the film evoked laughter and true emotion, while educating. I would most definitely recommend watch-

Youth take to the stage in the Gender Action ProjectSaturday, Apr. 27, 7 p.m., at SelfDesign High, 402 Victoria Street

communicative and passionate youth from Nelson and salmo will per-form two interactive theatre plays at selfDesign high.

this theatre perfor-mance is the result of the work of a wonderful group of youth ages 14-18 who have been involved in the Gender Action Project (GAP). GAP is a ten-week long workshop series facilitated by the Nelson Women’s centre, and sup-ported by columbia basin trust and salmo community resource society. GAP offers local youth a safe place to explore gender-based issues and oppression through discussions, games, exercises, and the develop-ment of theatre skills using

theatre of the oppressed techniques. the result is this self-written forum the-atre production of two plays called Famn Damily and Point of No return.

Unlike traditional the-atre, forum is a space where the community is invited to be a part of the play. these plays don’t have simple res-olutions, but instead usually end in crises which the audi-ence is asked to change the outcome by offering alter-natives for the characters to act out. It is an exercise in collective problem-solving, community responsibility, and self-exploration.

GAP has provided a pow-erful and inspiring learning process for all involved, and the work of these youth will

All Good Things…..

by Spencer PollardMy Opinion

the one inevitability of life is that e v e r y t h i n g

comes to an end, but what to do about it? relationships end, jobs end, friends and family pass away before you reach death’s door yourself. It can be vexing, but moping around won’t solve anything. What is needed is rather sim-ple; live life to the fullest.

living life to the fullest isn’t something that anyone can tell you how to do, it’s what you define. It can be mundane or it can be a spec-tacle, but a life full of accom-

plishments and pleasures is a life worth living. the most important aspect of life is happiness, do what makes you happy and purpose will finds itself.

to complete something is always a mixed blessing, you remember the success-es but also miss the good times that were had. Don’t get caught up in living in the past and live every day in the moment. I have obviously run out of cliche inspirational quotes so I’ll end on some-thing different. Do stuff that makes you happy, simple as that.

Commentary by David Reid of the West Kootenay EcoSocietyHappy Earth Day!

sometimes, it seems like protecting our planet requires us to make too many sacrifices. Don’t drive your car. Don’t throw that away. Don’t leave the lights on. Don’t turn up the thermostat.

once a year, however, we set aside a day to cele-brate our planet. especially here, where nature and wildness are part of our daily lives, earth Day is an opportunity to reflect on all the things our environment gives us: clean air and water, heat for our homes, food for our table, and beauty for the soul.

earth Day is a remind-er that protecting our planet isn’t about sacrifice-it’s about honouring the things that we have in common. We share this lonely planet, and when we choose to live more sim-ply, we make things better for our neighbours and ourselves. Walking instead of driving means exercise for you and less traffic and pollution for your neighbour.

so whether you join a community activity or take a quiet walk, I hope you will celebrate on earth Day. let it remind you that the work to protect our world is also a project to improve our lives.

Lake Facts:Did you know?.. Did you know the big-

gest private conservation land deal in Canadian history was made in the Kootenays? The Nature Conservancy of Canada purchased the Darkwoods Property, a 55,000 hectare piece of land containing key habitat for one of the world’s last herds of moun-tain caribou. Darkwoods boarders the south west side of Kootenay Lake and protects parts of 17 sepa-rate watersheds.

nExt it will be the dime, then the quarter, and then money. I believe eventually it will be just credit and debit cards - NO CASH. I believe when there was only cash, people were more aware of what they bought and what they could afford. Less debt.

HEck yes. I’m still amazed that we still have cash these days. Everything I pay or buy or purchase is all electron-ic. Debit, Mastercard, Gift Cards.....

tHE elimination of the penny has given our book keeper nightmares. She needs to open a pennies account in order to balance our petty cash account.

For those of us who are on pension and limit-ed income you are nickle and diming us to death! Rounding off as you do the pennies makes a difference for those of us who live on a budget when things are five cents more expensive than before!!! Enough already!

What would you do if you were looking for work and the job that you wanted paid a standard salary in the industry of $20 per hour. In your interview, you realize that you would like to work

for this particular company. It’s a new company and they don’t know exactly what they are doing. you get the job, but instead of paying $20 per hour they inform you, that the salary

is $75 per hour. the reason they have offered you this rate, is because they don’t know what they are doing.

Do you say thank you and accept the outlandish salary, or do you inform

them that you cannot accept $75 per hour because the standard wage is $20 per hour. would it make a differ-ence in your reaction if the person offering you the job was a friend or relative?
