New Nelson non-profit plans to make use of Lakeside Park GreenhousesA new non-profit group calling

themselves by the name of SEEDS (Seniors Economic Environment Development) will be occupying the greenhouses at Lakeside Park. The project will run during the nine to 11 months of the year when the green-houses are not in use, essentially Aug/Sept 2012 to May/June 2013.

“ I was aware of the underused and sadly empty greenhouses at Lakeside Park. I walk past them every day. They used to radiate with colour and beauty.” Says Lee Reid, SEEDS coordinator.

SEED offers seniors and youth the opportunity to make a meaningful

contribution to community well being. The participants will grow vegetables to sell as well as provide sustainable food production for low income groups and seniors. There is potential for part-nership community groups such as the Nelson Food Cupboard, Nelson Cares, Our Daily Bread, Rotary, and others. SEED also plans to have tours, workshops, and programs for school children.

The group is set to start very small by growing vegetables in pots and using donated materials from the com-munity. They hope in time to renovate the greenhouses into far more effective

food production facilities, while using very little heat.

In order to keep the project going the group is accepting donations of cash along with supplies such as: soil, bonemeal, blood meal, kelp meal, unsterilised worm castings, epsom salts, planter boxes and light units.

SEED is sponsored by The Nelson Seniors Coordinating Society and The Kootenay Food Strategy Society. Donations may also be made directly to the Nelson and District Credit Union.

For more information about donat-ing or volunteering contact Lee Reid at [email protected] or call 250-352-3870

Smoke from new fires visible in Nelson, Castlegar

On Sunday morning August 12, 2012, Trail RCMP Detachment were contacted by the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital in Trail. A male subject had been transported from the Shambhala Music Festival in Salmo to Trail. It is believed that the indi-vidual, who had no identification, was suffering from a drug overdose.

The attending hospital physician

later pronounced the male subject as deceased. Trail RCMP and the B.C. Coroner’s Service were notified.

The deceased’s name is Mitchell Joseph Fleischacker (Date of Birth: August 4, 1989) of Sidney, B.C. The next of kin have been notified.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Fleischacker family and friends.

The Salmo RCMP and B.C. Coroner’s Service are continuing their investigation into this occur-rence. An autopsy will take place as part of this investigation. There are no further updates or information at this time.

Sudden death of 23 year old male - Possible drug overdose

Two fires were discovered on August 12, at around 1:30 p.m. and are suspected to have been caused by lightning.

The 2-hectare fire burn-ing in Five Mile Creek north-east of Nelson is located in a watershed and fire officials are taking precautions to keep the area protected. The fire is not threatening any communities or structures. A three-person initial attack crew, three helicopters and airtankers are onsite.

A 0.2-hectare fire is burn-ing northwest of Castlegar in the area above Syringa. No structures or communities are threatened. Airtankers are

responding and a three-person initial attack crew and three helicopters are on-route.

Several other spot-sized fires (less than one hectare) are burning as a result of thunderstorms within the fire centre during the past week. Most of these fires are located in remote areas and are not affecting nearby communities.

The Southeast Fire Centre would like to thank everyone who reported wild-fires this weekend. Early reporting is an important step in ensuring our success in extinguishing fires while they are still small.

At approx. 1400 hours on 2012-08-14, Castlegar Det. received a report of a vehicle vs. motorcycle incident east of Castlegar on Highway 3A, east of Glade Road.

A westbound Ford Explorer SUV, driven by a Winlaw, B.C. resident, was overtaking/passing a logging truck, and pos-sibly another vehicle, in the 2 lane-passing lane. The SUV lost control, and crossed the center line into the eastbound lane. Two oncoming motorcycles

took evasive action. One motorcycle driver

braked and then put the bike on it’s side. The driv-er fell off the motorcycle, tumbled and suffered seri-ous injuries. The injured motorcycle driver was taken to Nelson Hospital and was pronounced dead. The second motorcycle driver was able to safely come to a stop.

West Kootenay Traffic Services have taken over the investigation. The deceased was the only occupant on his motorcy-

cle. His adult son, who was operating the other motorcycle, witnessed the incident. Victim Services were called out and are assisting the family. The notification of next of kin has been completed.

The deceased’s name is Clifford Wright, age 66, from Swift Current, Saskatchewan.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Wright family and friends during this most difficult time.

Alcohol/Drugs were not a factor. This incident

didn’t involve any attendees from the Shambhala Music Festival. The Festival had concluded earlier in the day. The police investiga-tion is continuing.

RCMP West Kootenay Traffic Services are seek-ing the public’s assistance and requesting that anyone who witnessed this inci-dent, or the events leading up to the incident, to please contact:

NEW SCHOOL AGE CARE PROGRAMCornerstone Children’s Centre

The Nelson Police Department han-dled over 110 calls since Tuesday Aug. 7. Find below a summary of some of the calls:

• On August 8, 2012 just after mid-night, a distraught Calgary Father con-tacted the Nelson Police Department to report that his son was missing from Calgary. He believes that his 15 year-old son and his friend are in Nelson. The Father also advised police that his son stole over $5000 dollars in cash from his safe as well as expensive watch-es, jewelry and clothing. At 8:30am, Nelson police officer’s located the 15 year-old youth and another friend that wasn’t reported missing from Calgary in a Nelson residence. They were both taken into custody while officers liaised with the Calgary Police Department’s Break and Enter Unit and the Ministry of Children and Families. Another 17 year-old male was also taken into custody. The trio were in possession of a quan-tity of cash and merchandise. All three Calgary parents were notified and the three youths are back in Calgary possibly facing several charges.

• On Wednesday, August 8, 2012 at 1pm, several 911 calls were received by the Nelson Police Department reporting a multi-vehicle accident at Government

Road and Granite Road. It appears that a 17 year-old driver was attempting to cross the busy Highway and was struck by a west bound truck which inadver-tently struck another vehicle waiting to turn left on the highway in the opposite direction. A 40 year-old female driver had to be extricated by the Nelson Fire Department’s Jaws of Life and was trans-ported to the Kootenay Lake Hospital by the BC Ambulance Service with non-life threatening injuries. There was a consid-erable amount of damage sustained to two out of the three vehicles involved in the accident. Charges are pending for the 17 year-old Blewett resident.

• On Friday, August 10, 2012 just after midnight, Nelson Police observed a suspicious vehicle parked in the Cottonwood Park parking lot. When the police officers approached the vehicle, a young male fled from the front passenger seat. Officers were unable to locate the suspect. The 18 year-old driver; however, was given a 24-hour prohibition for being impaired by drugs. The new Denver resident had his vehicle impounded by Western Auto Wreckers.

• On Friday, August 10, 2012 at 10am, the Nelson Police Department received a report of a stolen scooter worth about $2000 dollars. Shortly afterwards, alert

citizens called police to report a male and female pushing a scooter in the Lakeside Park parking lot. Nelson Police arrested a 32 year-old Nelson resident for pos-session of stolen property under $5000 dollars. He is scheduled to attend Nelson Provincial Court on October 23, 2012.

• On August 11 at 11:30 PM several young males were smoking marijuana while sitting in the 300 block Victoria St. They invited a pedestrian walking by to join them; unfortunately it was an off duty NPD officer. On duty members attended and identified the males, seizing a small amount of marijuana. Charges are being contemplated.

• On August 14 at 9:45 AM NPD received a call about a male in his early 20’s, under a truck, screaming and yell-ing on Falls St/Baker St. NPD members attended and coaxed the male out. EHS was called to asses him as he would not communicate. Friends explained that he had spent the weekend at Shambala smoking marijuana and not eating or drinking. He was transported to Kootenay Lake Hospital for treatment.

• As the festival let out NPD mem-bers were busy with removing campers from the parks, and any other place they could find to sleep in Nelson overnight.

For pregnant women in several Interior Health commu-nities, information, resources and services to get the best start for mom and baby, are just a quick phone call away. Interior Health is pleased to announce the launch of its prenatal reg-istry service on August 14th in Nelson/Castlegar/Trail and other West and East Kootenay cities.

Registry is a toll-free con-fidential phone line (1-855-868-7710) that women can call to register for the birth of their babies, ask questions and get valuable information about services available to support a healthy pregnancy. When a woman calls the toll-free

number she will speak directly with a public health nurse who can answer her questions and connect her with supports and services that meet her indi-vidual needs. A wide range of information and resources are available in areas such as nutri-tion, tobacco use, substance abuse, sexual health, safety, immunization, breastfeeding, parenting and more.

The prenatal registry will operate from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. Pacific Standard Time / 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Mountain Standard Time - Tuesday through Friday. The service is available for all pregnant women in the pilot communities.

Interior Health is imple-menting the prenatal registry using a phased approach and plans to expand the service to all other communities within the region in early 2013.

Women are encouraged to call the prenatal registry early in their pregnancy.

Does a penny take a sting out of a bee sting?

A story circulated a few years ago that claimed tap-ing a penny to a bee sting for 15 minutes would pre-vent pain and swelling. Apparently, a chemical reaction with the copper in the penny would draw out the venom’s poison. To check out whether this story has any scientific merit, I did what most people do, I googled the word “penny, copper and bee sting”. The only results I got were web-sites related to urban leg-ends. I then searched the PubMed database, a site that contains more than 17 million citations from life

sciences journals, with the same search words. I got no results; meaning that there are no published credible scien-tific studies on this so-called bee sting remedy. There is however a lot of published data on the major chemical in the bee’s venom, melittin. Melittin is a cationic hemo-lytic peptide (cationic means it is positively charged, hae-molytic means it destroys blood cells, and peptide means it is a chain of amino acids). Melittin is a poison in the sense that it causes cell death. It does this by alter-ing a cell’s membrane, which normally functions to control what goes in and out of a cell. The changes in the cell mem-

brane triggered by melittin lead to changes in signal-ling pathways in the cell and cause cellular death. Despite the fact that melit-tin is a poison, it does have some potential therapeutic uses. Because melittin kills cells, it may be useful to fight cancer if scientists can find an effective way of tar-geting the melittin to cancer cells. Some studies have also shown that melittin has anti-inflammatory proper-ties and could be used to treat inflammatory diseases such as arthritis and mul-tiple sclerosis. As such, despite its bad reputation as a painful component of bee venom, melittin does have its redeeming qualities!

Gray Creek Pass,, rated “most impor-tant back road in B.C.” has closed.

According to Russell Musio of the Back Road Map books, the Gray Creek Pass is rated as the “the most important Back Road in BC, if not in Canada.”

Much to the dismay of Tom Lymbery of the Kootenay Lake Chamber of Commerce, the prospects for re-opening this important connec-tion between the East Kootenay and Kootenay Lake seems very doubtful these days. The pass was hit hard by mudslides, sinkholes and debris from this year’s record runoff.

“The Gray Creek Pass is closed completely because of slides and sub-sidences - the first time in the 22 years of this, the only direct route between East and West Kootenay,” said Lymbery. “This road was constructed in 1989-90 jointly funded between Forest Service

and Highways. Forest Service have had to carry the load for maintenance, replacing all the wooden bridges with excellent cement ones. They also spent $80,000 in upgrading the Western side in 2011.”

Lymbery went to say, “this is a most important tourism resource route and business is sufferiing because of this -- and especially because this closes the Trans Canada Trail westward from Kimberley. Unfortunately there are no records of the usage by Europeans who seem to know more about this than locals but there have been cyclists arriving in Gray Creek having come over the Pass - from SPAIN!!”

Several major slides on the Redding Creek road as well as other slides and subsidences on the west side require at least $120,000 as reported by Forest Service. Tina Zimmerman an

Engineering Technician Selkirk Forest District, is the source for this estimate as she has made at least 8 trips to inves-tigate, however the Redding Creek slides have prevented a trip all the way. This has also prevented cyclists from making it through.

“It is very discouraging to see such an important road closed. When it first opened over 20 years ago it was billed as a major economic benefit to com-merce and tourism.,” added Lymbery.

Tom Lymbery and Kootenay Lake Chamber of Commerce are encourag-ing all interested parties to contact their MLA’s, MP’s, mayors, city adminis-trators, tourism officials, BC Forest Service official, Regional District rep-resentatives and others to help move the re-opening of this important trans-portation corridor forward.

Last week’s survey responses:How much do you tip?

The opinions presented on this page are the opinions of the author and do not represent the opinions of the publisher or staff of the Express News Update

Dear Editor, I am a Nelson resident.

Someone has dropped the ball in regards to encourag-ing reduction of household trash. With the present system of paying $40 dollars a year whether you have garbage or not. If i have 6 bags of gar-bage a year tne cost is $40 + $9 = $49 divide by 6 =$8.16 per bag. The house holder who has a bag a week pays $40 + (52x $1.50)$78=$118. Divide by 52 bags=$2.26

per bag . The more garbage put into the fill the cheaper it is. This does not encourage responsible trash reduction. ,this is not fair to the people who are doing their best. They should not have to carry the burden of those who don’t care. It would be better to charge full price for each bag, so that those who abuse the system pay their full share.

Sam WolfeNelson B.C.

EVERYONE has his/her hand out. Everyone thinks they are worth more than they’re worth. If I see a tip jar on a counter, that’s a signal to me that I get no extra service, but you want more money for simply doing your job. I never tip those.

TAXI drivers would nor-mally fall between 10 and 15%. Bartenders/Bar Servers I would tip each time served or if running a tab would tip more like 15 to 20%. This survey doesn’t give enough options. :-)

I start at 15% and it goes up or down depending on service. Because servers usually have more to do and have to tip out to bartenders and kitchen staff, I tip 20% if the service is good. I put money in a baris-ta’s dish every so often but they don’t have to do as much as the others listed up there...the overhead for taxi drivers and hair dressers is pretty big, and hotel maids have to put up with a lot of crap, so I tip them 15% at least.

ALL tips depend on quality of service

Another year of Shambhala has come and gone leaving some peo-ple of Nelson with divergent points of view about the annual music festival. Some people feel it is of extreme benefit to the economy

from the donations that Shambhala has made to our community, such as funds for the Skatepark, Selkirk College and other community orga-nizations. Others feel that it abuses our social services and people are

concerned about the potential of safety and health hazards.

This week’s survey question is an effort to provide a forum for discussion, not to advocate for any peticular position.

USUALLY 15-20% in res-taurants, but can be under 10% for pathetic service or 25% for exceptional service. Too many Nelson servers do not get that a little friendli-ness and a smile can double the size of their tip. Nothing drops a tip faster than asking for my bill and then having to wait for the server to collect. If I ask for my bill it means I want to leave.

DEPENDS on quality of service, otherwise, 15%

LOUSY service = no tips; coffee baristas ? no tips, price of coffee (lattes,etc) is high enough. Hotel maids ? why tip ? In Australia, no tipping is the norm.

I don’t like the idea of tip-ping. It seems that generally only a small proportion of ser-vice providers expect a tip.

West Kootenay EcoSociety warned this week that the Glacier-Howser Independent Power Proposal could still move ahead despite a delay of almost three years.

The Environmental Assessment Office is now considering whether to move ahead after the Environmental Review was suspended in September 2009. The proposal was suspended in order to allow AXOR to provide more data in support of their conclusion that the project would not harm fish in Howser Creek. A working group of scientists and First Nations representatives recently concluded that the Montreal-based energy company has not yet provided sufficient evidence. Nevertheless, the EAO is con-sidering whether to abandon the review, allow more time, or continue with the environmental review process despite the concerns of the working group.

“It would be outrageous for the EAO to blatantly disregard the science, First Nations, and the public by moving ahead with this review,” said David Reid of West Kootenay EcoSociety. “This proj-ect is going to hurt fish, and no amount of

stalling will change that. For that reason alone, it’s time for BC to put this terrible project behind us once and for all.”

Prior to the new developments, many had considered the project to be all but dead after a provincial policy shift. Premier Christy Clark announced in February that a change in the definition of energy self-sufficiency had reduced the need for long term power contracts. Energy Minister Rich Coleman said in August 2011, that he had no plans for new private power contracts. Nevertheless, the draft BC Hydro resource plan now includes “run-of-river” IPPs among plans for up to 2000 gigawatts of new power.

The proposed hydro project would bury 50-75% of the water from four creeks north of Argenta into 16km of underground tunnels, dramatically reduc-ing flows in the creek systems. The proposal has drawn the wrath of local citizens—1200 of whom who attended a rally and public meeting in Kaslo—as well as environmental groups across the province.

The Civic has been closed

Re-open the Civic Theatre As the Nelson Civic Theatre Society ramps up its membership drive, creative minds are hard at work.

“If you’re at the Nelson & District Community Complex during the month of August, check out the wrist band draw prize,” says Membership Committee member Josh Wapp.

This month’s prize is a singing telegram courtesy of NCTS, featuring Josh Wapp in full usher uniform to deliver the winner’s notification. The prize is professional musi-cian and actress Bessie Wapp in movie star costume, who will sing a song and play her accordion—ideal for birthday parties and anniversaries.

“It’s a fun way to promote our membership drive,” says Wapp.

With more than 250 memberships sold to date and a grant in place to support the undertaking of a comprehen-sive feasibility study, the big screen is within reach accord-

ing to Nelson Civic Theatre Society president Anne DeGrace.

“Memberships continue to sell steadily,” she explains. “We’re halfway to our goal of 500. It’s a great vote of confi-dence.”

Memberships can be pur-chased any time at sponsors Baker Street Menswear and Otter Books, at the NCTS booth around town, and online at www.civictheatre.ca.

“We still need some good people for the mem-bership drive,” she says, “as well asprofessionals: a web designer would be great, a graphic designer, and a pub-licity maven.

We also still need experts in all aspects of architectural and interior design, and build-ers and contractors to help problem-solve and provide estimates on renovations.”

Civic Theatre funding drive by Spencer Pollard

for sometime and if we don’t do something about it, the curtains will remain closed forever. What sepa-rates a movie from watch-ing it at home to watching it at a theatre? Try as you may, you can’t replicate the feeling of excitement a theatre can bring with the large screen, and the general ambience. DVD’S or Netflix can bring some of that experience to you but overall they pale in comparison to what the Civic can give to you.

The Civic Theatre was the cities main outlet to

the film industry and with-out it our main venue into that industry has been cut-off. To re-open the Civic, a good start would be to go to the campaign over at civictheatre.ca. It accepts donations to help support the reopening of the the-atre as well as working towards a plan to reopen the theatre.

Film is a key form of entertainment that needs a more prominent avenue in our town,the Civic is our best shot of support-ing the industry. Although we may have alternative avenues to film; The Civic is to important of a build-ing to lose. Curtains up!

When Mark Rheaume, music director at CBC radio, named Orit Shimoni one of his top three Canadian artists of the year, it was in response to her debut album, Cinematic Way. Since its 2006 release, Shimoni, (musi-cally known as Little Birdie), has been touring across Canada and in Europe, playing festivals, bars, cafes, show venues, house concerts, and even trains.

Her second album, I Left the City Burning, (2009), charted for three months on earshot! And was also a favourite on CKUA. With two independent Canadian albums, and in true troubadour fashion, Shimoni shed all sem-blance of a “regular” life, and has been traveling from town to town, performing and recording, in various ensembles. Touring solo, she often performs with local musicians, known and unknown,

Her third album, Sadder Music, was written and recorded in Berlin, and is due for official release in Canada this fall.

An immensely prolific and versatile songwriter, Little Birdie is hailed for her writing, (which has been compared to that of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen, among others) as well as her moving singing voice, which has been compared to Loretta Lynn and Emmylou Harris, as well as Chrissie Hynde, Patti Smith, Margot Timmins and Neko Case.

Orit has recorded a fourth album while in Berlin, which is in the mixing stages.

Tickets are $10 and available by visiting the Express office at 554 Ward Street or by phone at 250-354-3910.

Orit’s biography was sourced at www.sonicbids.com/2/EPK/?epk_id=56883#bio. Visit this site to hear and see Little Birdie preform.

“Like a precious little birdie she sings and floats away

Landing where it’s possible, living day by day

Always going on, as a modern troubadour

Singing her own songs so lovely and so pure”
