Pastor Jim Reimer
At its regular meeting Monday night, council voted unanimously to allow churches as permitted use in its core commercial zoning area. The broad land use decision will open the door to any church that wants to move downtown. The decision came at the perfect time for Kootenay Christian Fellowship, which

Christine Pearson 250.505.8015
took possession of the Savoy Lanes building at 520 Falls Street last Friday. Pastor Jim Reimer hopes to see the congregation — along with the Our Daily Bread hot lunch program — move into the building by mid-January. “We promised the city, when we started Our Daily Bread in 2002, that we would look for the opportunity to move into a commercial area, and now we’re able to fulfill that promise,” Reimer said. Kootenay Christian Fellowship is currently located at 812 Stanley Street, tucked between residential properties, across the street from the Central Education Centre. That property was listed for sale in June and still hasn’t found a buyer. The current listed price is $298,000. Reimer said he’d hoped to sell the church building before relocating, but plans to go ahead with the move regardless of the status of that sale. “When we do get the money out of that building, we can use

WONDER of the SEASON Baker Street was animated with busy elves Friday night as the first ever Elf Walk was held. Families embraced the fun event where they gobbled up treats, listened to music and enjoyed skipping with the Rhythm Ropers. Donning ears, pointy hats and other elfish garb, people taste tested delicious chili, watched a glass blowing demonstration and much more — all under the most Christmas lights Nelson’s downtown has ever seen. The evening was capped off by a visit from Santa himself who arrived in extraordinary style aboard the Nelson Fire and Rescue ladder truck. Kirsten Hildebrand photos

Rossland/Nelson will move on to Round 3 of Powder Magazine’s Ski Town Throwdown after collecting enough online votes to bump Whitefish, Montana out of the competition. The local ski hills collected about 300 more votes than Whitefish during two days of voting on November 28 and 29. The final tally was 3,491 to 3,176. Rossland/Nelson was behind in the first half of voting, but pulled ahead in day two. Mayor John Dooley went door-to-door to downtown businesses reminding everyone to vote. Kootenay Lake Tourism and Shambhala Music Festival were pushing reminders out through their social media networks, and there were also reminders on the radio and in the Nelson Star.

supporters logged more than double the number of votes in Round 2, compared to the vote against Sugarloaf, which Rossland/Nelson won 1,3091,028. Rossland/Nelson will move into Round 3, along
with seven other ski towns in North America. Voting for the next round will go December 12-13 and will be against the winner in a competition against two Colorado ski towns — Crested Butte versus Steamboat Springs.
Only two BC ski towns remain in the competition — Rossland/Nelson and Fernie. Whister lost in the first round, and Revelstoke was edged out by just 40 votes in its Round 2 face-off against Salt Lake.
Room to grow for Kootenay Christian Fellowship
Continued from Page 1 it to help fulfill our goals,” Reimer explained. “We’ve already bought the new place and we’re eager to get down there.” The church will move into an empty storefront that used to house Curves Health Club, while Our Daily Bread will occupy the old bingo hall. Savoy Lanes bowling alley and the SPCA animal shelter are tenants in the building, and Reimer hopes to see them
remain as they are. “Ideally, we want the building to be self-sufficient and having those tenants will help pay the costs for the other services we provide,” Reimer said. Eventually, Reimer hopes to see SHARE Nelson also move onto the 0.9 acre property and to develop affordable housing units there. “We have a lot of land to work with, which is something we never had the benefit of on Stanley Street,” Reimer
said. “We’re very excited to see this move forward.” The Savoy Lanes building is the second downtown location Kootenay Christian Fellowship considered moving into. Last year it looked into buying the old Savoy Hotel at 198 Baker Street, but the fire damaged building would have cost more than $2 million to renovate. The purchase price for the Savoy Lanes building was $1.5 million.

Antique train cars all aboard plan KIRSTEN HILDEBRAND Nelson Star Reporter
The Queen City’s newly dubbed Railtown is taking its nostalgic theme to new heights with the return of two antique Fairbanks Morse locomotives: CP 4104 and CP 7009. Executive director of Nelson and District Chamber of Commerce Tom Thomson says this is a boon for an area that enjoys a longstanding railway heritage. In 1953, Canadian Pacific built a new diesel shop in Nelson. Fairbanks Morse locomotives were used on Canadian Pacific’s Southern Mainline and by 1957, all Fairbanks Morse diesel electric locomotives were sent to the Nelson shop for maintenance. Despite a demanding mountainous environment, the talented Nelson diesel shop staff and train crews kept the Fairbanks Morse locomotives running longer than most other Class I North American railroads, “a testimonial to the high levels of dedication and expertise they were accorded at Nelson,” Thomson says. It has been 37 years since locomotives of this design have worked the Kootenay. “All of these locomotives certainly had a connection to our area because of the fact they were serviced in the diesel shop,” he says. “Now they’re back and they’re the last of a couple of remaining models of Fairbanks Morse in North America. There is some

great heritage and history to these units.” The locomotives are privately owned by John Burbridge of Ottawa and were being stored in a Calgary rail yard that was being cleared out. The Chamber had approached Burbridge last year, but Canadian Pacific housecleaning motivated Burbridge to move the machines he otherwise would have let lie. “John didn’t have a place to store them anymore,” says Thomson. The trains left Calgary November 16 and travelled to Golden and then to Cranbrook attached to trains that were moving west. Through a Memorandum of Understanding they will be on permanent loan to the Chamber of Commerce. Following the completion
of the train station restoration in 2014, the Nelson and District Chamber of Commerce will have the units on display as part of the Regional Visitor Gateway – Business Opportunity Centre initiative. Their eventual display will serve to complement, from a railway heritage and technology viewpoint, the current and extensive redevelopment of the Nelson station. “We’ve worked really hard to acquire the CP station, to develop the regional visitor gateway opportunity centre and this is all part of a vision we see,” says Thomson. “These units that have a connection to Nelson will be on display in Nelson for years to come. I think it’s really fun.” Local octogenarian Gus Balahura is one of a very few
engineers still in town that used to run the newly arrived train. Retired 24 years from Canadian Pacific, at 82, he remembers the Fairbanks Morse years at Nelson. “I used to run that engine over to Trail, up to Grand Forks, Midway,” he says. During his career, he covered the region: Slocan, Midway, Penticton, Castlegar, Trail, Warfield, Rossland, etc. He remembers the eight to 10 hours it could take a heavy train to climb the 20-mile grade up Farron Hill, all while in #8 notch. The engines are just the same as he remembers them when they served the busy Nelson terminal. “It’s nice to see these engines down there. It will be quite a tourist attraction,” says Balahura.
The Weather Wrap
November was one of the wettest Nelson Star Staff
Last month was the wettest November in West Kootenay since 1984 — and we appear to be headed for a record year. Monthly statistics compiled by Southeast Fire Centre forecasters Ron Lakeman and Jesse Ellis show we received more than 136 millimetres of rain and 26 centimetres of snow, 175 per cent of normal. The dampest stretch was between the 17th and 21st, when 83.5 mm of precipitation fell, mostly as rain, but also wet snow on the 19th. The 29th and 30th were also “excessively wet,” with Pacific frontal systems drenching the region in

another 39 mm of rain. However, the monthly snowfall was less than the typical 37 cm we receive. Most of the snow we did get melted on
contact. The only significant dump was 5.6 cm on the night of the 11th. The all-time record for rain in November of 155 mm was set in 1983, while the record overall precipitation for the month of almost 187 mm was set in 1973. The total amount of precipitation so far this year is “well above normal,” the forecasters said. “A near normal amount of precipitation in December will make 2012 the wettest calendar year on record.” The average temperature for the month was 1.8 degrees warmer than normal, the mildest since 2001. Record daily high temperatures of 16.8 and 14.3 degrees were set on the 5th and 7th respectively.

Throwdown showdown
O
ff to the Elite 8. Not bad for a tiny patch of turf tucked away in the sleepy BC Interior. On Page 3 of today’s paper, you can read about Nelson/Rossland’s latest triumph in Powder Magazine’s Ski Town Throwdown on-line contest. This is hardly the Olympics. There are no medals and no massive endorsement deals for the winner. It’s simple bragging rights for the North American locale voted the ultimate winner later this month. Out of the 32 ski towns that started, voters have moved Nelson onto some pretty exclusive company. First we beat Maine’s Sugarloaf, somewhat easy pickings. Then last week in an amazing come-from-behind victory, we topped the more formidable Whitefish, Montana. We all know Nelson is a special place in the winter. With Whitewater Ski Resort and an abundance of cat/heliski operations dotted all around us, our snow is world famous. Throw in a cool little town with great restaurants and an active nightlife, there is plenty of reasons for outdoor lovers to flock here. So why do we need a contest to prove we are the best? We don’t. But it sure is fun trying. What last week’s victory shows is just how much pride this community has and how those who love it want to spread the word. Since this was an online contest, community leaders cast a net far and wide to help with the win. Shambhala appealed to its Facebook followers, Whitewater sent the word out via the internet, tourism boosters were busy on their keyboards and the Nelson Star did its very best to keep online readers informed. In a more traditional manner, Mayor John Dooley literally hit the streets and visited local businesses to encourage them to vote. It all added up to a big win over a worthy challenger. And it put us one step closer to the overall title and even more winter fame. The next round of voting goes December 12 and 13. The competition gets stiffer and it will take an even greater effort to win. Are you up to the challenge?

Council Column — Deb Kozak

What to do with water?
’m sitting in Vancouver airport waiting for a flight home. It has been a challenge with the weather in the Kootenays. After all, it’s trying to be winter right now. But I don’t mind this lull; it’s given me an opportunity to reflect on what to write about for this week’s column. To meter or not to meter; that is the question facing council and the community. This conundrum has been before us from the time when we, as a community, realized that if we didn’t aggressively tackle our water and sewer infrastructure deficit, we would be in serious trouble. Six years ago the master plans were completed and stated the facts in black and white. Since that time there have been steady increases in our annual water and sewer rates, successful applications for grants and a very active infrastructure replacement plan. All of this is good for the community. But, one of the outstanding issues that was brought into sharp focus is how do we best manage and fairly bill for these services. Is metering a part of the answer? Council recently received a consultant’s assessment report on water metering. Statistics illustrate that most communities are metered and the data collected assists in conservation and in a straightforward, fair billing process. However, we also learned that there are communities who don’t meter and use different methods for assessing costs and charges.
City council is asking residents to provide input on water meters at its December 17 meeting at City Hall.
Nelson’s water system is gravity fed from Five Mile Creek. This means that unlike many other communities we don’t have the expense of pumping our water to our homes and businesses. In fact, we have pressure reducing stations to slow the flow coming into the pipes. The cost breakdown on our delivery system is 2/3 to capital and 1/3 to operating. Incoming water is metered at the creek source and there are a few commercial meters in town. We’ve learned that overall, the citizens in our community are fairly conscious of water usage even without metering. Over the past few years, we’ve been collecting data and studying the results to better refine how to prepare for the future. Staff reported that most communities without meters use fixture counts to charge for commercial
water use. This is what Nelson does and this practice has sparked debate and discussion. Staff also reported the current metered rate of those businesses that are metered is 40 per cent of what it costs to deliver water and has recommended that commercial rates be increased 33 per cent each year for the next three years. I’m sure this figure caught your attention. It sure caught mine! This is what it means. The city currently charges 59 cents/cubic meter of water. A cubic meter is a lot. Think of 1,000 one litre milk jugs and you’ve got it. It costs $1.95/cubic meter to deliver water and if we remove what is leaking out of old pipes, it’s around $1.44/cubic meter. A 33 per cent increase this year translates to about 20 cents more per cubic metre. Put in these terms,
it sounds pretty reasonable. Council is also being asked to consider a phased installation of meters for the rest of the commercial sector. Added to all of this is preparation for a future that may be very different than what we see today. With a changing climate, we will most likely see changes in water flows and more likelihood of wildfires. This could affect water supply and quality which is why a secondary source from the lake is being proposed. This system will be more expensive to operate because it involves pumping. I’m not totally convinced that universal metering of the entire city will give us the results that we need for sustainability, but I do think commercial metering is a good first step. As we continue to learn more about the system and how to best steward it, we will continue to refine our approaches in how to provide the best service. This is where you come in. We have smart citizens in our community whose thoughtful insight is appreciated. We’d like to hear from you at the December 17 council meeting on this issue. If you can’t make the meeting, contact us via the city’s website or telephone. I wish all of you the merriest Christmas and hope you will be spending the holidays with the people you love. I’m thankful the plane got in and brought me home. Deb Kozak is a Nelson city councillor who shares this Wednesday space with her colleagues around the table.

Say no to water meters
Re: “Council debates merits of water meters,” November 16 I read the recent front page story by Megan Cole with some alarm. I was left with the dreadful feeling of why and for whom? My first question is who does Econnics and Kirk Stinchcombe — the presenter to Nelson city council — represent and to what ends? Mayor Dooley is quite right in being skeptical and I give him full marks for being wary on this presentation. If a municipal authority needs revenue for infrastructure works it can save up the costs from present revenue, increase taxes and either save, spend or borrow. It doesn’t need the excuse of water meters and their expense to do this (initial estimate of $2.3 million to Nelson’s ratepayers), but simply needs to explain the necessity to the taxpayers. Nelson recently did this, borrowing $6 million while increasing
electric rates for up grades to that system. The ushering in of water meters is a slippery slope.
The installation of water meters leaves public control of this resource just one step away from privatization... In this country industrial and commercial water use far exceeds many times over residential use. The payment rates for the various uses of water can be manipulated, as our present provincial and federal tax system is, to have residential rates subsidizing commercial usage. And this while still under public control. The installation of water meters leaves public control of this resource just one step
University and movies Re: “University fight nothing new,” Letters, November 7 Anyone interested in bringing back a university to Nelson needs to reckon with something theologians call a locution, uttered to me by God in the spring of 1965: “The university is going, but the movies are coming.” This is the first time I have made this statement generally public. My spiritual advisers know all about it, of course, and I was also moved to mention it to Nelson newcomers Joy Barrett and her husband Craig Mackenzie, shortly after they settled here so Joy could take up her cultural office with the city. Craig is a feature filmmaker, and I presume the new movie theatre city council has just approved of will be interested in showing his work. The first stage of fulfilling the locution had to wait until 1986, when Steve Martin
and Christine Lahti came to Nelson to make Roxanne and Housekeeping respectively. There have been a number of films made in the area since. Obviously God was not lying, although if I had quoted him aloud at the time, most people would have thought I was nuts. This was well before Vancouver became Hollywood North. Besides, there was something much more serious for a theologian to deal with in 1965: the wretched state of the leadership of the Roman Catholic diocese of Nelson and so many of its priests, and worse than that, the sluggishness of the Vatican and the police in dealing with the worst of these problems. I think Mr. Jeanes has just as much history to learn as he insists has Mr. Paolozzi, whose original letter I read with much interest. Ken Lamb Nelson
away from privatization, opening another area of even deeper concern. Who would want to pay the global price for water (the cost of water in the middle of the Sahara) in a country naturally endowed with plentiful water? Another example of this is the price for fuels we pay at the pump and our oil resources being controlled privately by big oil. I say no to water meters. If a council needs more revenue it should make its case without imposing another tax. And if a council finds it necessary to borrow, increasing the public’s debt, it should borrow locally. Otherwise all that compound interest being charged and paid over the years by the local community, leaves the local community and goes into the pockets of bankers sitting atop their towers in Toronto.

Re: “Smart meter manipulation,” November 21 Tom Fletcher’s smug, dismissive column, although possibly entertaining in a tabloid or deliberately incendiary context, does little to inform. In short, it is more concerned with provoking reaction than any measured consideration of the many aspects of this issue. Residents of the Gulf Islands are
stereotyped as “hysterical” and “gullible.” That is to say, they disagree with Mr. Fletcher. I thought journalism was supposed to address why people disagree, whereas propaganda only tried to convince regardless of the facts. There are reasons why over 50 municipalities have requested a moratorium or an opt out choice on the installation of these meters. Why,
if these meters are so innocuous, did the present government obviate the need for BC Hydro to go through the BC Utilities Commission or hold public meetings? Perhaps, like Mr. Fletcher, they have a disdain for the democratic process when it does not agree with, or cannot be manipulated by, them. Freye Parkhouse Beasley

Re: “Banner policy flawed,” Editorial, November 16 After pondering this issue, I tend to agree with your editorialist. I am sure the banner’s proponents see this as a human rights issue, that the human rights of a fetus are being curtailed. But, as usual, this banner comes from people who want to curtail the rights of already-living-outside-the womb humans. Once again, we see the “pro-life” view that life begins at conception. I would hasten to advise these people that abortion is legal in Canada. Still, the issue is troubling to me morally and legally, because gagging the so-called “pro-life” forces seems an infringement of our rights of freedom of expression. I certainly did not support the actions of people who van-
dalized the “pro-life” billboards near Grohman Narrows. Nor would I curtail the free speech of Holocaust deniers like Jim Kiegstra, although I in no way endorse his views on the Holocaust. The key point for me is that Christian “pro-life” fundamentalists do not want to regulate only the policies of “pro-lifers.” Rather, they want to regulate everyone’s actions to their satisfaction: they want to regulate the actions of other Christian fundamentalists with contrary views, of other Christians, of the non-observant, of Muslims, Hindus, Jews, Jains, etc. In short, they want to impose their religious will on all Canadians. I call that a theocracy. Kim Krakty Nelson
I realize the Star would like to give a forum to everyone who wishes to express themselves on issues of interest, but I’m disappointed you would donate so many column inches to the frequently debunked position of Ms. J.L. Craig regarding vaccines. For some balance regarding her comments I suggest readers insert her initials and last name, plus the word “vaccine” into the Google search box and see what comes up. Interesting reading, and proves the saying attributed to Mark Twain: “Facts are stubborn things, but statistics are more pliable.” Bob Wilson Nelson

Annual Electronic Music Festival
Survey gives shine to Shambhala Nelson Star Staff
West Kootenay residents were asked to share their views on Shambhala Music Festival through an anonymous, online survey last month. Festival organizers received 90 completed surveys. Of those, 80 per cent reported having a positive perception of the annual festival. Survey questions focused on Shambhala’s impact on neighbouring communities and what the festival could do to improve its image. “It was great to hear the community is willing to work with us closer on a tourism and destination management platform,” executive producer Corrine Zawaduk said in a press release. “It sounds like

many businesses and organizations want to develop better partnerships, but there is still a segment of the population that thinks ‘something should be done about Shambhala.’” Shambhala has made some big donations in Nelson and Salmo over the years, including sponsoring the Shambhala Music Hall at Selkirk College with a $75,000 contribution. It has also given $5,000 to the Salmo Youth Centre and $2,800 to the Salmo farmer’s market. Shambhala is now in the process of developing a strategic plan to guide future growth of the festival. Shambhala 2013 will run August 7-12 at Salmo River Ranch. Tickets are on sale at shambhalamusicfestival.com.

DRAMATIC VAULTED CEILING GREAT ROOM This spacious three-bedroom home is designed with a large covered entry marked by wooden beams and pilasters that support its sloping roof. Through double doors, the foyer’s ceiling is also sloped, a feature that is echoed by the great room’s dramatic vaulted ceiling and out to a covered patio at the back of the home. A formal dining room is located to the left of the foyer. Both areas are separated from the great room by archways. The great room includes a gas fireplace flanked by entertainment units and enjoys access through french doors to the covered patio. The roomy kitchen includes a large island with a four-seat eating bar along one side and a bar sink at one end. A window over the double sink will let in lots of natural light, and the L-shaped counter configuration will save steps for the cook. A phone desk will provide room for a computer as well, and a pantry is located nearby. In the space connecting the double garage, set at an angle to the home’s main wing, are a powder room and a laundry room, which can double as a mud room. The garage includes a motorcycle bay. Stairs lead to the bonus room above, which could provide space for a home office, a studio or a fitness room. In the sleeping wing, the master suite is located at the back of the home for privacy. A window with an extra-wide sill, perfect for a window seat, overlooks the back garden. The ensuite is reached through a capacious walk-in closet and includes a soaker tub, as well as a shower stall and double sinks. The second and third bedrooms overlook the front garden and share a bathroom with a tub and double sinks. Nearby is a linen closet and storage cupboard. On the home’s exterior, the vertical board-and-batten finish in the gables is repeated on the garage doors. Horizontal siding and both unpainted and painted wood trim, plus cut-stone accents, lend the home an aura of casual elegance. This home measures 90 feet, six inches wide and 76 feet, seven inches deep, for a total of 2,188 square feet of living space, plus the 400-square-foot bonus room.

High School Volleyball Provincials
Bronze for Sentinel Wildcats BOB HALL Nelson Star Editor
The Mount Sentinel Wildcats girls’ team captured bronze in the BC High School Single-A Volleyball Championship on Saturday night at the Selkirk College gym in Castlegar. The host club came into provincials ranked third in the province and that’s where they stayed after three hard fought days on the court. Wildcats opened the tour-
“I am satisfied and proud of the girls. We stumbled a little on Thursday [against Whiterock], but we were solid in all other matches. ” Joe Moreira
Wildcats Coach
nament with a 2-1 record in the round robin. The Wildcats beat Langley’s Credo Christian and Similkameen, but were upset by Whiterock Christian Academy in a three-set match. In the playoff round, the Wildcats disposed of Fernie in three straight sets and then took care of Prince George’s Cedars Christian. The two wins gave the Wildcats a shot at the semi-finals against the number-one ranked Kelowna Christian. The powerhouse Okanagan club proved to be too much for the Wildcats in the semi-final, winning in three straight sets (25-18, 25-8, 25-20). The loss set up a rematch
against Whiterock in the bronze medal game late Saturday afternoon. This time around, the Wildcats were determined to at least stand on the podium and disposed of the Lower Mainland team 25-21 and 25-19 to earn the bronze. “I am satisfied and proud of the girls,” said Wildcats coach Joe Moreira. “We stumbled a little on Thursday [against Whiterock], but we were solid in all other matches.” Last season the Wildcats finished 11th with the same roster. “We have enjoyed a great season, beating some very talented AAAA to AA teams,” added Moreira. “We were confident in our ability to compete with the best teams in the tournament and while we were given a chance to dethrone Kelowna Christian [the 2011 champions], we simply cannot match their physical size.” The Wildcats are no strangers to the provincial podium having captured the championship four times over the years. They have also earned silver three times and the weekend bronze was the school’s ninth. This was the 10th time the Wildcats have hosted the provincials. Salmo was also in the mix, coming into the 16-team tournament ranked 16th. The Salmo girls played hard, but came away with only one win in six matches. Salmo beat Carver Christian of Burnaby in the round robin portion of the tournament on Thursday. Kelowna Christian claimed the provincial title with a decisive win against Immaculata from Kelowna in the finals (25-10, 25-22, 25-21).

Rookie sensation Colton McCarthy scored three goals, helping the Nelson Junior Leafs to a 6-3 victory over the Grand Forks Border Bruins at the Nelson and District Community Complex on Friday night. Heading into the contest, McCarthy was riding a bit of scoring slump. The 16-year-old broke out of it a minute and a half into the game to give his side the early 1-0 lead. Midway through the first period McCarthy again registered, this time beating Grand Forks Robert Dunsmuir on the power play. With eight minutes remaining in the opening 20 minutes, Dakota Kittle scored on Nelson starter Brett Soles to cut the lead in half. Captain Colton Schell scored eight minutes into the second period to increase the lead when he cut hard to the net and beat Dunsmuir. McCarthy notched the hat trick four minutes after that on the powerplay. It was McCarthy’s 20th goal of the season. Connor Gross gave the Border Bruins a bit of life early in the third period when he cut the lead to 4-3 beating Nelson starter Brett Soles. Dustin Reimer then restored the lead minutes later when he stuffed away a rebound on the powerplay. On the faceoff after

the goal, Reimer decided to cap it off by dropping the mitts with Luke Jones in a spirited tilt that brought both benches alive. In a replay of his first goal of the game, at the 10-minute mark Schell came down the wing and beat Dunsmuir short side to finish the scoring in the game to salt away the win. The night before in Grand Forks, the Leafs had to get it done the hard way. The Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s top team travelled west in what should have been an easy two points. Instead, the upstart Border Bruins gave their Neil
Murdoch Division rivals a great battle. Nelson Minor Hockey grad Colton Dawson gave Grand Forks a 1-0 lead early in the first period when he beat Kootenay Ice Major Midget call-up Adam Maida who was making his junior hockey debut between the pipes for the Leafs. With just over two minutes left in the opening frame, Chase Anchikoski gave the home side a 2-0 advantage. Thirty seconds later, Schell scored to cut the deficit to 2-1 Story continues to ‘Two teams’ on Page 28

Dementia would partner with her in her later years, but surprisingly, it never affected her amazing positive nature or her wonderful sense of humour. She was well cared for at Nelson Jubilee Manor, and especially by her niece Marlene Derhousoff, who faithfully visited every Thursday, bringing goodies, bouquets of flowers and good cheer. Helen was content in her surroundings... maybe for once in her life she had nothing to worry about, and if she did, it didn’t last long.
P
The family would like to thank Dr. Janz and the dedicated staff at Jubilee Manor for their wonderful care and thoughtfulness while Bob was with them. You truly are a loving and caring group of people.

Helen loved her flower gardens. She and Suyeo always had a wonderful vegetable garden until he passed away in 2010. She loved to knit and sew, keeping her family well supplied with colourful blankets, slippers, socks and mittens.

Cremation has taken place and there will be a family service on Bob’s 100th Birthday, December 29th. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the charity of your choice.

Hers was a gentle spirit that beat in the heart of a courageous survivor. But then, that is what one could expect after spending her early years on the harsh prairies in southern Saskatchewan. When Helen was 12, the family moved to B.C., settling first in Glade. In her teens she spent the summers fruit picking in the Proctor/Harrop area. After the family moved to Blewett, she married George Planiden in 1940 and they had three children. After George’s death in 1961, she married Suyeo Tagami in 1968 and moved to Nelson.

Bob is survived by his son David (Linda), grandchildren Jeff (Hannah) and Shelbi (Grant Anderson), his very special great grandchildren, Brett, Carter, Emma, Tom and Avery, brother Don (Joyce), sister-in-law Emily Towler and several nieces and nephews who he was very fond of. He was predeceased by Doris, his wife of 63 years, in 2007, his parents George & Lillian, sister Erma, brothers, Evan, Norman and David, and their wives and also brother in law, John Towler.

Helen Tagami of Nelson B.C. passed away at Nelson Jubilee Manor on November 27, 2012 at the age of 90. Helen was born in Verigin, Saskatchewan on September 15, 1922 to Edward and Helen Antifaeff.

She is survived by her brother John Antifaeff, sister Katie Derhousoff, and her children Cedric (Sandy) Planiden, Loretta (Fred) Strukoff, George (Mona) Planiden, nine grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews, family members and friends.

Bob loved to reminisce about the good old days and right to the end, he could tell you who lived in what Nelson home, where they worked and who they were related to. He also had many wonderful stories about his ski jumping days and continued to downhill ski at Whitewater until his 85th year, an accomplishment he was very proud of.

Bob was born in Nelson on December 29, 1912 to George and Lillian Brown. He was raised in the brick house on the corner of Silica and Park Street with his four brothers and one sister. He completed his schooling in Nelson and continued with night classes at the Nelson Business College. He had several jobs in Nelson before enlisting in the RCAF on August 28, 1942. In December 1943 he and his new bride (Doris Lemmon) moved to Ucluelet, BC where they were stationed until September 8, 1945. At that time they returned to Nelson and Bob worked for Brackman-Ker Feed and Milling Co. Then in 1953 he began employment with the Land Titles Office where he worked until his retirement in 1977.

Find ways to exercise
Y
our beliefs, reasons and rationale for physical activity determine your own level of participation. You feel better after exercising, right? Do you really think it’s necessary though? Is your health good enough as it is? You look pretty good anyway. Can you afford it and is it a priority? Well, I promised last article that I would talk a little more about the active/healthy lifestyle choices we make, so before I tell you what’s happening in sports (that help your activity levels), here’s a little more food for thought. Perhaps reasons for being active include more than just staying healthy. For many, the social aspect of participating with friends and family is as important as the activity itself. Making sure every minute of physical activity is something you enjoy would help your cause as well. Try something you enjoyed when you were younger or something you’ve
always wanted to explore. In Nelson the choices are plentiful and appealing, and that matters because if you enjoy it, you’re more likely to continue. Count and include everything as a chance for exercise. The provincial government slogan of yesteryear still makes a good point: Every move is a good move. So walk your dog, walk to work or school, clean the house (all family members)…and my favourite, park the car further away from the store or facility than necessary. I love the irony of trying to get the nearest parking spot to the gym or the ski lodge! Also, never rule out a bit of friendly competition to motivate you. For some it can be the very incentive to begin and continue an activity. Talking of which….
to be ready for the season soon to be upon us. The membership drive event continues on December 7 from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and December 8 from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the Gericks Cycle & Ski on Baker Street. You can also pick up your passes that were purchased in October, register for Bunnies, BC Rabbits and TA Programs and have your membership photo taken. It is also the last opportunity to get your season pass sticker, otherwise a $5 fee is charged. Christmas passes may be purchased also at the event: 5 skis for the price of 4 adult @ $40 valid only during the two weeks of Christmas holidays… great stocking stuffers. If you are able to help out with this event email: info@ nelsonnordicski.ca. Check out “conditions” page on our web site: nelsonnordicski.ca and watch the snow accumulate. For any inquires you can call 250-354-4299.

Leafs forward Dustin Reimer took on Luke Jones in a spirited fight on Friday night at the NDCC.
play to restore the lead for the Border Bruins. The score remained 3-2 after 40 minutes. Facing the reality that they may lose to a team that had only notched three wins at that point in the season, Nelson Minor Hockey grad Matt MacDonald scored four minutes into the third to tie the score at 3-3. Thirty seconds later defenceman JJ Beitel scored what would be the eventual winner. Matthew Naka captured a short-handed goal with a minute left in the game to add the insurance marker. Maida faced 27 shots to earn his first
junior victory. Dunsmuir faced 61 Nelson shots on the night. The teams are back at it again tonight in Nelson. The puck drops at the Nelson and District Community Complex at 7 p.m.
IN THE CREASE: Leafs goaltender Cody Boeckman travelled with the Junior A Trail Smoke Eaters late last week, thus the call-up of Midget Ice keeper Maida who also served as back-up to Soles on Friday night... McCarthy was also in the Smoke Eaters line-up on Sunday in Trail... Soles’ win Friday kept the rookie’s record unblemished at 12-0.
