Teacher layoffs minimal Majority of teachers who received layoff notices in the spring find positions SAM VAN SCHIE Nelson Star Reporter

Since Kootenay Lake School District issued layoff notices to 36 teachers before summer break, most of the affected teachers have been re-hired. Had all the original layoffs been carried out, 19 full-time equivalent teaching positions would have been lost in the district. Instead, the actual reduction was three FTE positions. “We were able to recall almost all staff that were originally laid off, if they wished to be recalled,” explained Deanna Holitzki, director of human resources for the school district. Holitzki said many of the teachers who are not back this September decided to retire or take leaves of absence. Some who did return came back with fewer hours. “Some teachers were recalled partially rather than fully,” she said, noting the reductions are spread across the district and shouldn’t impact individual schools. She also said student populations

News This Year’s Terry Fox Run Takes Aim at Young Families

Introducing Fox to family SAM VAN SCHIE Nelson Star Reporter

For anyone who was around in 1980 when Terry Fox embarked on his Marathon of Hope, it would be hard to forget that curly haired 21-year-old from Port Coquitlam. But a younger generation never saw the young man running on his prosthetic leg and doesn’t remember the sad day when — after running more than 5,000 km from St. John’s to Thunder Bay, Ontario — Fox was forced to end his journey early because cancer had spread to his lungs. Now it’s up to parents and teachers to pass on the story of why every September communities and schools host runs in his name. Kristi Crowe and her daughter Elise will be two of the Kristi Crowe, a Nelson parent and school participants in this year’s Terry Fox Run this Sunday at administrator, has participated in Terry Fox runs Lakeside Park.

When Greg Haydu and a group of business partners purchased the old Nelson Daily News building in May 2011, the 266 Baker Street property was no longer a proud pillar of the downtown streetscape. “It was in an absolute state of disrepair,” says Haydu. “When we had the building appraised, the appraiser was of the opinion that the land was worth more without the building than it was with the building.” After more than a year of toil, last month new life began to creep back into the brick shell that has stood at the east end of the downtown for more than a century. With the arrival of its first tenant — the law firm of Pearkes and Fernandez — the building is back in business. “It never crossed our minds to knock the building down and start again,” says Haydu “This building has been here for 100 years, and it is an interesting and beautiful old building. We think we are doing it a service by the level of finishing that is going into it.” The sub trades are still buzzing inside and outside the building, but Haydu and his partners are now in a position to fill the cavernous spaces. One main floor space has been leased to The Chop Shop — a Vancouver-based hair salon that brings a rock ‘n’ roll feel to the business of hair care. There are still four other major spaces up for grabs and Haydu says they are entertaining all

sorts of ideas. “If there is a need for something, we are definitely willing to work with people,” he says. “From the owner’s perspective we need to get this building tenanted and going so that we can complete the rest of this project. We really do believe that this is a building and a project that this town can take pride in.” The second phase of the project includes a housing component. Still in the concept phase, once there is more security with tenants in the rest of the building, condos will be built on the roof.

One of the aspects of the project Haydu and his partners (who include three other investors) are most proud of is the attention to detail and use of local contractors. An example is the desks in the law office — where Haydu also works — that are made from recycled wood found in the guts of the old building. “We are trying to maintain the historic character of the building, plus the wood was in great shape,” Haydu says. If you are interested in taking a look at the space available for lease call realtor Paul Lamoureux at 250-352-3581.

Men-only social club proposed

Nelson District Community Complex staff vote to strike Nelson Star Staff

Though currently not much more than a dirt floor and exposed beams in the basement of 266 Baker Street, the proposed Goldfields Social Club has already been the subject of plenty of watercooler chatter. A private men’s club, the vision for the Goldfields Social Club is a vibrant 2,200 square foot space where members gather to socialize and conduct business. “Oh boy, do I know it’s controversial,” says Greg Haydu, one of the building’s owners and one of the social club’s board members (see related story on Page 4). “I can’t tell you how many times I have been sitting around a campfire this summer and have somebody launch into me. I don’t mind having that conversation.” If it comes to fruition, the club would be one of the major tenants in the revitalized building. It would include an open lounge, seating area, bar, sauna, steam room, showers and lockers. There would be a big screen television, fireplace, comfy sofas and a poker table. Members would be able to store their own liquor in their personalized lockers and have 24/7 access to the facility.

It would cost $3,000 to join and monthly dues would be charged. “In keeping with what we are doing with the rest of the building, having the Goldfields Social Club in the basement would keep with this heritage character. It’s something different,” says Haydu. “You get the wink, wink, nudge, nudge. But this is really just a place for people to hang out.” Of those permitted to join, women would not be on the list. “This is a men’s social club, similar to Curves for Women. I can’t go in and join a Curves fitness facility,” says Haydu. “There is no underbelly to this. It’s just a place for men to come for fellowship and to hang out. I have no doubt there will be an element of business networking that would go on.” So far the social club has held two information meetings which Haydu says were attended by about 60 men. Though work has not started on finishing the space, Haydu is confident it will become a reality. “We’ve invested time, energy and money into this,” he says. “We didn’t do that because we think it’s going to fail.” For more information on the Goldfields Social Club contact Haydu at 250-777-2548.

Unionized staff at the Nelson and District Community Complex have voted “overwhelmingly” in favour of job action. The members of CUPE sub-local 2262, which represents 55 employees at the arena, swimming pool, and fitness facility, held the strike vote on Saturday afternoon, according to a news release from the union. A majority of members turned out to cast ballots, and all voted in favour of a strike. “No one wants to go down this road, but the regional district has left us little choice,” local president Leford Lafayette said in the statement. “It all comes down to wages, term, and benefits: we asked for cost of living and minor benefit increases, but they said no.” Their employer is the Regional District of Central Kootenay. Lafayette said they have been offered a twoyear agreement that expires in six months. Since the last collective agreement expired a year and “They came a half ago, the sides have met several times, but after every cornerstone of been unable to reach a our collective mediated settlement, added. agreement.” he“Th ey came after evLeford Lafayette ery cornerstone of our Union Representative collective agreement: seniority, hours of work provisions, and full-time/part-time designations,” Lafayette said. “We spent a long time negotiating back and forth on language.” He said the regional district offered wage increases of one per cent in each of the two years, but no benefit increases. “If the union were to agree to this, we’d be behind the cost of living by three per cent over the last three years.” The union is seeking a three-year contract with a cost of living hike over the term. CUPE 2262 members include fitness technicians, lifeguards, aquafit and swimming instructors, as well as maintenance, custodians, customer service reps, and child minders. Neither the union nor management at the complex could be reached for further comment Tuesday morning.

Editorial A hub with plenty of heart

T

he Sunday morning scene in Nelson’s Lakeside Park looked more like Central Park in New York. The city’s prime public space was bustling with activity and reaffirmed just how lucky we are to have such a gem along the West Arm. In one corner of the park you had the SPCA Paws for a Cause walk assembling. Pups of all breeds and sizes, getting a reprieve from the park dog ban for just one day. Booths were set up, an obstacle course was assembled and plenty of money was raised for pets in need of extra attention. Right beside the four-legged furballs was the Parkinson’s SuperWalk crowd. Another morning fundraiser was getting set to be marched through the park, led by a bagpiper whose tune echoed through the valley. Under the shade of the Rotary shelter, a local congregation was conducting a Sunday service. With all the seats full, the worshippers were able to breathe in the fresh morning air. All around these organized activities, kids played on the playground, joggers set out on the pathway, kayaks were being placed into Kootenay Lake and families rode their bikes. It was a special scene, but hardly rare. Lakeside Park is a true gift from the visionary community leaders of our past. The men and women who protected this land for future generations would be proud to see the park buzzing all summer long. If you haven’t taken a stroll through Lakeside in a while, you’re missing out. Head down to the park for a day or even an hour. You are bound to find new connections to people and place that help make this community that much more special. We want to hear from you.

Cutting down on conflict

N

elson has the reputation of a peacelovin’, progressive arts town, full of kind and thoughtful dialogue. We visit and move here because of this reputation, but some might struggle with its validity as we pass our honeymoon period in town. I’d like to share some of what I’ve heard from citizens, starting with “peace lovin’.” Moderating the peace is not the role of a councillor, but my official ear is requested most often to discuss issues of neighbourly love, or lack thereof. I listen, and try to refer people to a staff person who can help, but I can’t make the problem go away (my wand is broken). Curious about what we fight about? The most frequent neighbourly divide is over noise… barking dogs, perpetual construction, loud vehicles and, surprisingly, careless placement of air source heat pumps or other loud equipment. It seems that while the owner of the pump is enjoying the savings and efficiency, it can cost of the golden silence of the patio on the adjacent property line. Please place carefully. Then, there is olfactory assault from mounting piles of dog feces, cat litter heaps, household garbage (one house got so bad that a colony of rats developed), old cars left running in the mornings and even relentlessly wafting cigarette smoke. Lastly, we have various forms of trespass… mostly

by pets of unaware or uncaring owners resulting in piles of poo and/or destruction of gardens. Another kind trespass (now gaining popularity as a form of harassment) is light. Before you roll your eyes, picture very bright lights directed at neighbour’s yards and windows, intended to harass while skirting bylaws that haven’t yet defined rules on lighting. Not merely straining our eyes and disruptive to nature, light trespass affects circadian rhythms. Without a nice dark sleep, we have higher rates of cancer, mood disorders, and reproductive disorders (see Environmental Health Perspectives, “Missing the Dark”). Best practice calls for restricting unshaded light rays to our own property boundaries. Intentionally spotlighting a neighbour is a serious violation of their health and welfare.

ter. If we happen to have a roof or paved area draining onto our neighbour’s lot, we might want to check how much of “our” storm water is ending up in the basement next door. A good gutter system could be wiser investment than paying for the rehabilitation of a neighbour’s house or yard… and would certainly result in a friendlier neighbour.* What about bylaws, you say? Bylaws are not intended to dictate all behaviour, but rather to remind us what the absolute minimum acceptable standard is when we fail to act responsibly of our own accord. Enforcement comes at a significant cost, both to our city’s budget and to our self respect when we get “told” and “punished” as full grown adults. Let’s look around at this beautiful little town and ask ourselves: “Might I be acting like a jerk, just a bit? Do I want to pay more taxes because I can’t play well with others?

ing to get along wouldn’t be so hard.” I hope the conflicts I’ve heard of represent only the smallest minority of our citizens and that there are still more neighbourly smiles being exchanged than dirty looks. We all may have a renovation project, a pet, a party, or a porch light that we forget from time to time. But little irritations are easily smoothed over if we reach out to meet and greet our neighbours, check in with them to see if all is well, and exercise those skills that we all learned in kindergarten. If the City of Nelson could spend less time creating bullet-proof bylaw systems, we could certainly dedicate more time and money to being progressive and supportive of the arts… topics to hit another day. * Friendly behaviour to neighbours may result in spontaneous gifts of garden produce or fresh baked pies.

Bears don’t need to die Last week, a bear got into my neighbour’s porch because she had a fridge full of food in there and nothing more than a screen door to keep them out. The conservation officer was called and a bear trap was put in the trees across from my house. After a few days a bear was trapped and it was taken away to its death. No one can even say for sure if it was the same bear or not, but the bear in the trap was taken away to die anyways. After my kids witnessed the bear being taken away in the trap, they had a lot of questions, the biggest one being, “What are they going to do to the bear?” I explained that the bear was going to be killed. Due to people leaving food and garbage accessible to bears, they believe the bear would just keep returning here so they kill it. The children did not understand why murder was the solution and were angry and upset by this. Around the same time period, there had also been a mother bear spotted with two cubs in the area. The conservation officer informed me that if the mother entered the trap and if the babies stayed nearby that they would be shot on site. I am not sure how they can justify this. I believe that some people do not feel the need to take responsibility for their garbage because they do not understand the full consequence for the bears. Many people believe that the bears will just be relocated. In this area, once a bear has been in garbage they are never relocated. I have seen misleading information that would lead people to believe this, including the article in the Star on August 24, which said “the police attempted to call a conservation officer, who could have potentially trapped or tranquilized the bear for relocation.” In the letter to the editor on August 29, the writer also commented a few times that they wished the bear could have been relocat-

Here’s a group who knows a good investment when they see one! Our thanks go out to Fran Collier, Ed Mannings, Gerry Mannings and everyone else at CIBC Wood Gundy for their $2,100 sponsorship of the Foundation’s recent 11th Annual Legacy Golf Event. We would also like to thank all of the golfers, sponsors and volunteers who made for a great day of golf.

The black bear trapped on the North Shore last week. The bear was taken submitted photo away to be destroyed by the conservation officer.

ed. The conservation officer that came to set the trap told me that they never relocate a black bear once it has been in garbage. People need to know the truth about this. Even if the conservation officer would have come to help with that bear in Fairview, they would have trapped it and moved it to another location to shoot it. Killing the bears is not a solution to the problem because the problem is not the bears. The problem is the food and garbage that people leave accessible to the bears. Their solution of killing the bears is just easier (and probably cheaper, which is what things usually come down to in the end) than dealing with the actual problem. There is an article on the internet at bearsmart.com/ media/1281 which talks about the numbers of bears that are killed each year. This article is from July 2011 and it states that the five-year average is 614 black bears killed each year in BC alone. “According to wildlife experts, bear attacks are rare. Attacks are for predatory, territorial, or protective reasons. Most wilderness attacks have occurred when there was only one to two persons in the vicinity.” This information was taken from a Wikipedia

page that gives a list of fatal bear attacks (wikipedia.org/ wiki/List_of_fatal_bear_attacks_in_North_America). It lists 28 fatal attacks on humans in a ten-year period from 2000 to 2010 in all of North America. Based on these numbers, there is a much greater chance of being killed by your spouse than by a bear. I am sure that all the people who watched the bear shot down from the tree in Fairview did feel empathy, but empathy without action will not change anything. As long as people leave food and garbage accessible to the bears, they will keep coming and they will keep getting killed. Bears will always travel through this area because we live in the bear country, but if there is nothing for them eat around our homes, they will keep moving until they find a natural place to get their food. People need to be held accountable if an animal has to be killed because of the choices they make. Whether we fight to get the system changed or whether we work together to educate and help our neighbours make better choices, we all need to do something to keep bears from being killed.

Injecting Rock Into the Career Search It was a high voltage approach to the career search on Thursday afternoon in Nelson. The JobFest 2012 tour of the province touched down on the corner of Hall and Front streets. Sponsored by the Province of BC’s WorkBC and BC Jobs Plan programs, a crew brought in a stage and interactive displays for folks of all ages to check out. But the career opportunity caravan was clearly geared towards the young. With Acres of Lions (above) and other bands playing throughout the afternoon, young people were invited to investigate a number of interactive areas that provided insight into opportunities and how you get on the path towards them. With video games, big screen TVs and iPads providing guiding the way, there were statistics on more than 500 careers with their outlook. JobFest is visiting communities from Iskut to Terrace in its lively tour around the province. For more information head to jobfest2012.ca Bob Hall photo

Why is so much violence done in your name? 4. Why is the world so messed up? 5. What does the future hold? 6. Got any beer? 7. What really happens when I die? 8.

Community Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy Fundraiser

Buy a newspaper and you can reach a reader Nelson Star Staff

The Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy is joining forces with the Nelson Star for the second annual Reach-A-Reader campaign next month. On October 10, Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy members, Nelson Star staff and other community members will be fanned out throughout the community asking residents to purchase the Wednesday paper. When they do, all funds go to supporting literacy programs in the community. “The Reach-A-Reader campaign is an important way for us to promote our region-wide commitment to building literacy skills and healthy learning communities,” said Ali Wassing, Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy’s executive director. “This joint campaign demonstrates Black Press’s [the Star’s parent company] dedication to building literacy skills in the communities it serves and

helping the Alliance stretch its reach. Reading is at the heart of Alliance’s drive to help citizens improve literacy skills, engage in life-long learning and increase their confidence to get involved in the community.”

“We have 16 coordinators delivering services in 77 communities,” said Desneiges Profili, Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy’s regional program manager in the West Kootenay and Boundary. “Their work with

children, adults, families and seniors to build reading, writing, numeracy, computer and workplace skills is in demand. Fundraisers, such as our ReachA-Reader campaign, help support communities to meet this increasing need.” The Alliance is working hard to expand services to meet growing and changing needs in communities across the region. In addition to regional funding received from Columbia Basin Trust, Selkirk College, College of the Rockies and the Province of British Columbia, local partnerships and fundraising campaigns are critical to developing more community-led programs targeting local needs. The Reach-A-Reader campaign demonstrates this shared commitment. “We partner with businesses, community organizations, libraries, schools and colleges to help meet demand for our services,” said Betty Knight, regional program manager for the East Kootenay. “Getting the

communities involved in supporting us through the partnership with Black Press and the Reach-A-Reader campaign takes our message to the heart of the communities we serve.” Over the last 10 years, the Alliance has delivered an average of 230 programs to 7,000 participants each year. Positive feedback, living examples of the benefits and community response has been very supportive. Participants can choose from a variety of programs such as: Love 2 Learn, Young Parents Education Program, Cyber Seniors and English as a Second Language. You can make a difference in your local community. Participate in the Reach-A-Reader campaign by purchasing a paper on October 10, volunteering to sell papers, or simply spreading the word as a campaign champion. To get involved, contact Karen Bennett at the Star (advertising@ nelsonstar.com), Desneiges Profili (dprofili@cbal.org) or visit cbal.org/coordinators.html.

Wednesday, October 10 The Nelson Star and the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy are partnering on a great new event for Nelson. On Wednesday, October 10, some of Nelson’s highest profile people will be out on the street with our newspaper asking for donations to help support literacy initiatives in our community. Along with your donation we will give you a copy of your community newspaper for FREE (plus there might be a few extra promos to go along with that). Absolutely all funds raised from the day will go towards CBAL and all funds will stay in the community in which they are raised to support literacy programs in our community.

the centre of attention.

With typical early season uncertainty, the Nelson Junior Leafs will dive into the 2012-13 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League campaign on Friday night against the Castlegar Rebels. “I’m happy with the progression through main camp and into pre-season,” said Leafs head coach Frank Maida. “Now we just have to get ready for the regular season start.” When the puck drops Friday night at the Nelson and District Community Complex, there will still be several quesFrank Maida tion marks for Maida and his coaching staff. There remain several players battling for spots on the team and with Junior A clubs still in the throes of final cuts, the local club might still see some trickle down. “It’s coming together,” Maida told the Star on the eve of the team’s final pre-season game against the Rebels on Tuesday night at the NDCC. “Unfortunately there is still some uncertainty with veterans and recruits still at Junior A camps. We might not know about those players until the regular season gets underway.” Story continues to Page 17

Sports Continued from Page 16 The goal of the Nelson program is to move players onto Junior A and beyond. The fact some positions are still vacant and waiting for decisions from above is seen as a positive. “The guys that are close to Junior A are hanging in and might make it or be the final cuts,” said Maida. “It’s a good situation all around really.” Though still molding the team, Maida has a pretty decent understanding of what kind of squad will be battling for KIJHL superiority this season. “I think our strengths will be in goal and we are deep up front,” he said. “We will be younger on the back end, but there is some skill there. Overall I’m pretty happy with what I see out there.” Though more veterans might be back in the coming weeks, Maida has a good idea which veterans will be counted on to show the way over the next seven months. “A big part of the puzzle will be [forward] Colton Schell and [defenceman] JJ Beitel,” said Maida. “Those two players brought a lot last year and

The Nelson Junior Leafs exhibition season is now in the books. The puck drops on the regular season on Friday night at the Nelson and District Community Complex against Castlegar. Bob Hall photo

will bring a lot of leadership this year. We will need those to players to lead the way.” Two Nelson Minor Hockey grads — Linden Horswill and Carson Willians — will also emerge from last year’s rookie season with more responsibility. “Linden and Carson will be a big part of this team,” said Maida. “They will be counted on in a lot of situations. It will be more difficult for them this year because other teams know

who they are now, but they can handle it.” It’s a long season, but at this point Maida is not shy to set lofty goals. The second-year head coach wants to make a big impact in the tough Neil Murdoch Division. “My expectations are that we are going to finish strong,” he said. “I want to finish in the top two, if not first.” The puck drops on the Leafs 2012-13 regular season at 7 p.m. on Friday at the NDCC.

Arts Kootenay Storytelling Festival This Weekend

The stories are back SUBMITTED Special to the Nelson Star

After a five year hiatus, the Kootenay Storytelling Festival is back with a weekend of performances beginning in its old hometown of Procter this coming Saturday and ending next day in its new digs on the 300 block of Baker Street in Nelson. The day in Procter will recreate former times with many of the star tellers from the past returning with new tales and old favourites — including 19-year-old Joshua Klassen whose first appearance came in 2002, East Shore historian Susan Hulland, the perennially popular Barry Gray and Ktunaxa teller Joe Pierre as well as Gunpowder Gertie’s creator Carolyn McTaggart and Doukhobor teller Wendy Voykin — nine in all. For Sunday’s festivities, the stories will travel to Nelson’s Royal Hotel, the Kootenay Exchange and the Vienna Café. Outside on Baker Street there will be free entertainment, music and stories, a First Nations welcome camp and a special free children’s activity tent. For the first time in its history, the

festival will be welcoming a teller from outside the region. A veteran of 23 appearances at the Toronto Storytelling Festival, Mariella Bertelli will be recreating the sometimes bawdy early Renaissance tales of Boccaccio’s Decameron. Having performed on CBC and many festivals across the world, she recently presented Gunpowder Gertie in Italian to an audience in Milan. For further information about the festival including where to purchase the limited number of tickets, head to the web at kootenaystory.org or call 1-855255-3303.

C'est dans la province du Yunnan, au sudouest de la Chine, que j'aurai fait mes premiers pas en sol chinois. Il s'agit d'une région de la Chine isolée du point de vue géographique, faisant frontière à la fois avec le Laos, le Vietnam, la Birmanie et le Tibet. Ses paysages y sont tout aussi diversifiés que ses visages. Au sud, il y a les jungles sillonnées par la rivière Mékong, au centre, les terrasses de riz et au nord, les imposantes cimes enneigées des montagnes du Tibet. Cette province compte parmi ses résidents plus de la moitié des groupes ethniques minoritaires de la Chine. Le joyau du Yunnan, c'est Kunming, 'la ville du printemps éternel', jouissant d'un hiver clément et d'un été frais.

Community Kalein Hospice Centre Land Dedication

Rainbow On Board Streetcar

Hospice takes next step SUBMITTED Special to the Nelson Star

The long-held dream of a hospice centre in the central Kootenay region takes another step forward this month when the former Sisters of the Precious Blood monastery at 402 West Richards Street is rededicated as the Kalein Hospice Centre. Residents from all central Kootenay communities are invited to join together for this family friendly event on September 22 at 2 p.m. The highlight of the afternoon will be the land dedication at 3:30 p.m. “This dedication is an offering to residents from throughout the region to establish their own personal connection with the grounds, and with the legacy of hospice care and education that will grow from the centre,” said event organizer Amy Garvey. Those who wish to participate are asked to bring a stone symbolizing the memory

of a loved one who has passed that can be added to the Land Dedication Circle. Throughout the afternoon, there will be opportunities to tour the building and grounds with members of the Kalein board of directors, learn more about the history of the property and review the most current development plans for the centre, participate in interactive activities, and more. Information on all regional community hospice services will also be available at the event. “While the Kalein Hospice Centre is located in Nelson, our goal over time is to see the centre become an important resource and supportive partner for all the hospice societies present in our region,” said Garvey. The vision of the Kalein Hospice Centre — to provide residential hospice care, and a centre for dialogue and education within a single campus setting — is unique in all of

MAGLIO BUILDING CENTRE IS CELEBRATING

Community Earth Matters

Youth head up zero waste project SUBMITTED Special to the Nelson Star

Starting later this month, Earth Matters will be launching a new project for youth 1525 to get hands on with waste reduction. This project will involve the development of youth-driven re-use action plans, wherein materials will be diverted from waste streams and given new life.

The project will be happening in Nelson and participants can sign up by emailing youth@ nelsoncares.ca. Youth facing barriers are encouraged to apply — the project aims to be as accessible as possible. The project will run from September until December and is free to participate in. Action plans will be created through a youth-driven process. The possibilities are only

limited by the imagination and passion of participants. Youth will also create media and public education materials from their experiences. This project is made possible with generous support from Columbia Basin Trust, Regional District of Central Kootenay, Nelson and District Credit Union, BC Hydro and TD Bank. Earth Matters is a program of the Nelson CARES Society.

News Monday Morning Haze

Slocan Park

Credit union employees ratify deal Smoke from the south Nelson Star Staff

Unionized staff at Heritage Credit Union and HG Insurance in Slocan Park and Castlegar have accepted their employer’s latest offer, averting a strike. In a news release, United Steelworkers Local 1-405 called Monday night’s ratification vote on a new three-year deal “close and contentious.” “The membership certainly didn’t embrace it but we’re a democratic organization and it was passed,” said Jeff Bromley, the union’s financial secretary and lead negotiator.

He didn’t release the exact results of the vote. Bromley said the offer included pension improvements, the sticking point in the dispute. “At the end of the day, a majority of the workers decided it was enough. However, it’s an issue that’s not going to go away.” Staff were poised to walk out at both branches last Wednesday, but postponed job action when management came back with a new offer. Bromley said the bargaining committee didn’t feel it was good enough to recommend, but was at least worth sending to a vote. Workers rejected the credit union’s previous offer in two votes over the summer.

Nelson Star Staff

The haze hanging over the Nelson area Monday morning came courtesy of wildfires in Washington state. The huge Sunday afternoon thunderstorm that blew through the West Kootenay brought with it plenty of lightning, but as of Monday morning there were no forest fire starts as a result. The large fires in Washington

state are located about 110 km southwest of Grand Forks. The jet stream is responsible for carrying the smoke north. The Southeast Fire Centre said those fires pose no threat to communities or forests on the Canadian side of the border. By Monday morning, the wildfire near Peachland grew to 200 hectares. Some of the smoke could also be coming from that blaze. For information on current fires in BC, go to bcwildfire.ca. To report a wildfire call 1-800-663-5555.

News Interior Health Brings in Eating Disorder Expert

Debunking food fairy tales SAM VAN SCHIE Nelson Star Reporter

We all have stories we tell ourselves about food to justify unhealthy eating habits, according to American eating disorder expert Jessica Setnick. Setnick will be in Nelson Thursday offering a free workshop on what she likes to call food fairy tales. “Food fairy tales are things we tell ourselves we need to change about our eating, but don’t,” she said. These are the same fairy tales that, for a person with obsessive and destructive characteristics, will lead to an eating disorder, while for most others will just cause them the personal frustration of continuing a pattern of unhealthy eating. “Pretty much everyone does the same things people with eating disorders do,” Setnick said, citing people who say they need to lose weight but continually selfsabotage, for example. “I want to help people realize we all need help with our eating, even if it’s not dysfunctional enough to warrant hospitalization.” Other fairy tales, she said, include feeling guilt for not eating everything on your plate or avoiding simple things

Jessica Setnick is in Nelson on Thursday.

like taking nutritional supplements like calcium. “They come from experiences we’ve had in the past that don’t necessarily apply to present, but we still use the same story,” Setnick said.

She said her workshop will particularly benefit people who feel stuck in one of these patterns or parents who don’t want to pass on negative attitudes to their children. She’ll offer practical solutions to break free from the fairy tales, for example by thinking of any change as an experiment rather than a long-term commitment. “For some reason when we think about trying something for a day or two — rather than as something we’re going to do every day for the rest of our lives — it breaks down a lot of the emotional barriers,” she said. “I might just say, ‘I’m going to take calcium for a few days and see how I feel,’ and that would be enough to get me started in the right direction.” Setnick believes culturally, people tend not to notice eating issues until they become very severe. “I want to spread the word that you can get help for your eating issues before they get to that point,” she said. Setnick’s free workshop on food fairy tales is offered at Nelson’s Selkirk College in Mary Hall at Tenth Street Campus on Thursday from 7 to 9 p.m. White Setnick regularly offers workshops in the States, this is her first time bringing her work to Canada.

Bill 22 classroom sizes not an issue Continued from Page 1 continued to decline, with about 90 fewer students enrolled in district schools this September — a number that matches last spring’s projections. “The good news is all classes will be within the new legislated requirements,” Holitzki said. Bill 22, the controversial Education Improvement Act adopted last March, sets a hard cap on the number of stu-

dents that can be in Kindergarten to Grade 3 classes — 21 students for Kindergarten and 24 for Grades 1 to 3 — and requires Grade 4 to 12 classes not exceed 30 students, unless the class is within a prescribed category (for example, band or drama classes) or provisions are made for the teacher (including additional compensation). Holitzki said requesting provisions won’t be necessary because no regular

classes are above the 30 student limit. Bill 22 halted last spring’s job action by BC teachers, legislating them back to work after three days on the picket line, and imposed limits on future contract bargaining. In late June, the labour dispute ended with BC Teachers’ Federation members voting to accept a two-year contract. That contract will expire at the end of this school year.

On the Monday afternoon, Nelson police received a 911 call about a sailboat which appeared to be unmanned, drifting west down the West Arm of Kootenay Lake. The sailboat was also reported to have its sails down but hanging in the water. NPD attended with the intention of launching the police boat from the boathouse, to check the vessel in distress. Upon arrival, the boat was seen powering back up the lake with two people on board. The complainant, who met police at the government dock, advised he yelled at the boat and roused the occupants who were otherwise engaged and out of sight. Although NPD was prepared, a marine rescue was not required.

Liquor thief arrested On Friday night just after 8 p.m., staff at a downtown liquor store reported a drunk man had just stolen some liquor and was drinking it, then throwing the cans at the business as he walked away. Staff followed the man and advised police officers while en route that he was becoming physical with pedestrians he encountered. NPD members found the man, still carrying what remained of his stolen booze just before he walked into a nearby crowd enjoying the Road Kings festivities. He was arrested without incident for the theft,

On the long weekend Sunday, officers were called to 801 Railway Street about a drunk man disrupting a private party. The 49-year-old was located and arrested for breaching a no-alcohol condition imposed on him for a previous charge. The man was held until he was sober and released on a promise to appear in court in November. The next day while driving through the 400 block of Vernon Street, officers recognized the same man causing a disturbance outside a downtown hotel. It appears he took exception to some tourists being in town and was yelling at them. Again, he was arrested for breaching his conditions by consuming alcohol and as it was the second time in two days, was held in custody to appear in Nelson court.

Second SPCA donation bin stolen On Thursday morning at 11 a.m., staff at a local restaurant noted their SPCA donation bin had been stolen and believed they knew who did it. NPD was notified and while investigating, the suspect called the restaurant to apologize and then quickly confessed to the investigating officer. The 40-year-old local man will be writing a letter of apology and making restitution for the funds stolen.

Man jailed after flipping out Last Tuesday night just before 6:30 p.m., police received a report of a male “flipping out” in the 400 block of Carbonate Street. Officers attended and located a man known to them yelling and jumping around. Police say the man was clearly under the influence of street drugs and was jailed until the following morning where he was placed in front of a judge. The man was convicted of causing a disturbance and sentenced to seven days in jail.

Bus stop beer drinkers Over the Labour Day long weekend, Nelson Police responded to just under 100 calls for service. On the Friday night, officers located a group of people sitting near the bus stop at Ward and Baker streets drinking beer. A 22-year-old man was checked and arrested for breaching his conditions by consuming alcohol and his 20-year-old female friend was given a provincial violation ticket for consuming alcohol in public. The ticket, under the Provincial Liquor Control and Licensing Act, carries a $115 fine.

With the second full week of school underway, the Nelson Police Department is reminding drivers to slow down. With class back last week, officers focused plenty of attention on school zones around the community and found too many drivers still in their summer state of mind when it comes to the 30 km/h zones. Police hit several people with tickets that start at $196 for exceeding the speed limit in school zones.

Ricky Kenneth Johnson

Lilian Susan Deschamps

Our Dad, Grandfather, Great-Grandfather and Friend went home to the Lord. He was born in Commerce, Alberta on June 27, 1914 and passed away peacefully at home on Aug 16, 2012 at 98 years of age; following a morning shopping trip to Nelson on the Handi-dart and a cheery ride home with his daughter and son-in-law. He was predeceased by his loving wife Elizabeth (Betty), parents Antonio & Catterina Cattoi, brothers John and Edward, sisters Inez, Mary, Jean and a great granddaughter Lyla . He will be missed by his sister Lena, sister-in-laws Kay, Elzbieta, Madeleine and Millie, cousin Gabriella, children Robert (Cathy), Catherine (Dan) Wack, Richard (Judy), Gloria (Bernard) Marchildon, Elizabeth (Doug) Ellis, 11 grandchildren and 25 great grandchildren, many nephews, nieces and relatives in North America and Europe. In his early years he worked on the family farm near Lethbridge where he met his future wife, Betty. In 1938, he joined his brother John to work at the Relief Arlington Gold Mine at Erie, B.C.. Carl and Betty were married on September 6, 1938. The family moved to Crescent Valley in 1942 where he worked on the construction of the Brilliant Dam subsequent to joining the army during WWII. In 1947 while employed by the City of Nelson at the City Power Plant, he became one of the founding members of the IBEW (Local 1003). He still was a member in good standing at the time of his passing. He started his Electrical Contracting business (RC Catton Electric) in Nelson and built his home in 1952 in which to raise their five children. Later he worked as Maintenance Supervisor at NDU, on construction at the 7 Mile Dam and Line Creek and Greenhill Mines. He was still working as an electrician and consultant well into his eighties. He took up cooking, canning and baking, “for something to do”which he was still doing in his nineties. A very proud moment in his life was representing his community in the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay on April 22, 2012. In this Relay, he was the oldest participant from across Canada. He was a member of the IBEW (Local 1003) for 65 years, the Eagles (F.O.E.# 22) for 62yrs., a 4th Degree Knight in the Knights of Columbus #1516, and a past member of the Royal Canadian Legion. Prayers will be offered on Sunday, September 16, 2012 at 7:00p.m. at the Cathedral of Mary Immaculate, 813 Ward Street, Nelson, B.C. A funeral Mass will be celebrated by Very Rev. Jim Ratcliffe on Monday, September 17, 2012 at 10:00a.m. followed by a private family internment in the Nelson Cemetery. There will be a reception at the Catholic Centre after the internment. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the BC Lung Association: www.bc.lung.ca (Memorial Donations) or at 1-800-665-5864 or your favourite charity. Arrangements are under the direction of Thompson Funeral Service Ltd. Online condolences may be expressed at www.thompsonfs.ca

After a long battle with Huntingtons disease Rick is finally at peace. Although his body gave out, his mind never faded.

He will be sadly missed by his family and friends. Online condolences may be expressed at www.thompsonfs.ca. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Thompson Funeral Service Ltd.

Peter Misan

Our father, Peter Misan passed away peacefully in his sleep on August 29, 2012 at the age of 85 years. Peter is survived by his son Dale and wife Lorri (Batley), their children Taylor and Keeley; daughter Frances (Long) and husband Bill, their children Ashley and Danica. Peter was predeceased by his wife Ruth in 2005. Peter was Born in Poland on March 1, 1927. He immigrated with his family to Battleford Saskatchewan in 1932. He met his first wife Shirley (mother of Dale and Frances) in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Peter and Shirley moved to Balfour, BC in 1958 where their children where born and raised. Balfour was where they built and developed “Golfland”, a campground and miniature golf course. When Peter met his second wife Ruth, they settled in the Okanagan Valley and spent their winters in Arizona. He returned to Nelson in September 2011 where he spent his final year at Mountain Lake Seniors Facility.

JAMES MORRISON CARMICHAEL A SCOTTISH SOLDIER There was a soldier, a Scottish soldier Who wandered far away, and soldiered far away There was non bolder, with good broad shoulder He’s fought in many a fray, and fought and won. And now this soldier, this Scottish soldier Who wandered far away, and soldiered far away Sees leaves are falling, and death is calling – And now this soldier, this Scottish soldier Will wander far no more, and soldier far no more And on a hillside, a Scottish hillside You’ll see a piper play his soldier home He’s seen the glory, he’s told the story The bugles cease now, he is at peace now. JAMES MORRISON CARMICHAEL (Jim, Jimmy, Jock, JimPop) of Nelson died peacefully with family at his side on Thursday, August 16, 2012 at Mountain Lakes Seniors Home. He is survived by his loving wife Ethel Kathaleen Carmichael as well as many “bonnie lads and lassies” including daughter Brenda (Michael), son Ian (Sherry), grandchildren Marissa (Jeremy), Justin (Lindsay), Madison and Jamie, stepsons Nick (Harriet), Karl (Louise), Rudy (Louise) and Joe, stepdaughters Diane (Paul), Janet, Kathy (Gary), and Margaret (Stirling), numerous step grandchildren and step great-grandchildren and in Scotland by nieces and nephews. James was predeceased by his first wife Lilian of Nelson and his mother and father Robert and Agnes Carmichael, sisters Agnes, Annie and Maisie and brothers John and Robert all of Scotland. James moved his family to Canada in November of 1965. They arrived by ship, HMS Carinthia, docking in Montreal and then moving all the way across the country to begin a new life in Nelson. James worked briefly for Kootenay Forest Products then became office manager for the Fish and Wildlife Branch where he stayed until he retired. After he retired, James and Ethel moved to Kelowna where James was an active golfer and bowler. When Kelowna became too busy they decided to move back to Nelson. In Nelson, James continued to be active. He was the Pipe Major for the Nelson Kiltie Band; he continued to bowl and be an avid golfer. Brother James

was a long time Mason belonging first to the Seaton Delaval Lodge, No. 4617 (Northumberland, England) then to Nelson Lodge, No.23. James was a decorated veteran of World War II and the Korean War and belonged to the Canadian Legion. James led a full and active life and touched the hearts of many. James loved Scotland, his family and friends, golf, gardening, a wee dram and a good argument but not necessarily in that order! So James, to quote you and send you on your way: “May your glass be ever full. May the roof over your head be always strong. And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you’re dead” The family would like to thank the care-givers, nurses and doctors at Mountain Lakes for the loving attention and meticulous care that James received. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Mountain Lake Seniors Centre. A Memorial Service will be held at the Thompson Funeral Service Chapel on Saturday, November 10, 2012 when all the family is able to attend. Online condolences may be expressed at www. thompsonfs.ca Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Thompson Funeral Services Ltd.
