East Shore Plane Crash
Mother and daughter ‘Gifted’ pilot mourned recovering in hospital
By banking locally with our credit union, you ensure a vibrant community and a dynamic local economy.
After several critical days spent in a Calgary hospital, Pat Henman and Maia Vezina are making progress in their recovery following a horrific car accident that happened June 9. The well-known locals were traveling home from Calgary earlier this month when another car crossed the centre line and struck the mother and daughter head on near Skookumchuck in the East Kootenay. Pat, a leader in the arts community, just wrapped up a successful production of Cabaret that she directed.
On Friday, Pat’s oldest sibling Jim Henman who lives in Nova Scotia reported his sister turned a corner in her recovery with doctors listing her in stable condition — in fact “very stable,” he said. “That’s a miracle from where she was on Monday,” said Jim. “We are so overjoyed but she still has a difficult path ahead of her.” Pat suffered many broken bones and has many internal injuries requiring many surgeries, almost daily, said Jim. Along the way, she Story continues to ‘Road’ on Page 16
The local aviation community is in shock after one the region’s most experienced pilots died in a crash last Wednesday. Anthony (Tony) Quibell, 53, died when his Cessna Skymaster 337 airplane crashed near Crawford Bay. Quibell was the lone occupant in the plane that took off from the Nelson Airport at 1:30 p.m. on June 12 intending to fly to La Ronge, Saskatchewan. His six-hour flight was cut tragically short when his plane crashed in “high-treed terrain.” Quibell died at the scene. isting

Tony was a really big part of the airport and he will be really missed as a pilot, a friend and an aircraft engineer.” Quibell operated an aircraft repair business and contracted to the Ministry of Forests for forest fire spotting duty. “He was one of the pilots right on the frontline of protection here.

MV Anscomb Relic Lives on in Balfour
Restored wheelhouse revealed Greg Nesteroff Nelson Star Reporter
The original wheelhouse of the Kootenay Lake ferry MV Anscomb was unveiled Saturday before a large crowd in the rest area of the Balfour ferry terminal. Among the guests was Herb Brown, 95, whose first shift aboard the Anscomb came on July 1, 1947, a few days after it entered service. He was a deckhand at first, then became an oiler, and finally an engineer before retiring in January 1978. He also worked aboard the MV Balfour and did relief on the MV Lardeau on Upper Arrow Lake. He turned down a chance to work on the Nasookin because he had no way to get to Procter, where it tied up. “I had my turn at steering the boat across the lake,” he recalled of the old wheelhouse. “It’s a bit different inside than what I remember. We had a battleship linoleum floor and the woodworking was a bit darker.” Brown still has the reverse wheel and throttle lever from the Anscomb’s Vivien engines, which were replaced in 1972 during the same refit that saw the wheelhouse removed in favour of a larger, steel compartment. The old structure sat in a shed not far from the ferry terminal until the Balfour and District Business and Historic Association acquired it for $1 in 2008 and

began a massive overhaul that required hundreds of hours of effort. The wheelhouse was pried from its concrete base and given a new roof, floor, doors, windows and fittings. On Saturday, the wheelhouse and cabin at its rear were also full of artifacts from the Anscomb’s working days. For more photos from Saturday’s event in Balfour head to nelsonstar.com

Nelson city council had a chance to question Nelson Police Department about its recent decision to re-certify all officers to carry Tasers. Police went without Tasers for five years while a provincial inquiry considered the safety of their use. Then this past April they brought them back because the inquiry had determined they were safe to use, albeit with added precautions. “The Taser is not lethal force, it’s high-intermediate [use of force],” Nelson Police Department chief Wayne Holland told council. “There have to be significant actions undertaken before it can be deployed — officers must make every effort to talk, to de-escalate, to reason [with an individual] and must have witnessed them affect bodily harm on another person or themselves or believe that they’re about to.” Holland said there is less risk of injury for a person hit with a Taser than if officers use their fist or baton to restrain them. Additionally, Tasers are rarely used in Nelson and haven’t been used at all in the months they’ve been back on the street. Inspector Paul Burkart told council that in his 18 years as a police officer he’s
Nelson Police Department chief Wayne Holland and Inspector Paul Burkhardt presented at the May 27 council meeting. Sam Van Schie photo
arrested thousands of people and only deployed his Taser, “less than a handful of times.” Holland added that every time an officer uses his or her Taser, or even takes it out of its holster, a report must be filed with the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner and the Independent Investigations Office of BC and the local police board hears about it. Councillor Robin Cherbo wondered if Tasers could be used against vicious dogs. Holland had checked with
the Justice Institute of BC on that issue and confirmed that Tasers are known to be an effective — though not a recommended — way to restrain an animal. “As a last resort, they do work [against dogs],” Holland said. About 40 people were in the public gallery when the police officers made their presentation, though some were there for other issues on the agenda. Councillor Deb Kozak, who requested the police
attend the meeting after a resident expressed concern about the use of Tasers, suggested the officers make quarterly reports to council with updates on new initiatives. Holland said he’d be glad to. Minutes from monthly police board meetings are also provided to council and the meetings themselves are open for anyone to attend. The police recently updated their website and made past board minutes publicly available.

Kaslo residents are being warned of another closure to the emergency department of their health centre due to a shortage of doctors. Victorian Community Health Centre’s emergency department will be closed overnight from 5 p.m. on Monday, June 24 until Tuesday at 8 a.m. and again on Thursday, June 27 from 5 p.m. until 8 a.m. The emergency department will also be closed over the long weekend from Friday, June 28 at 5 p.m. until Tuesday, July 2 at 8 a.m. Interior Health’s Cheryl Whittleton, who handles community integrated health
services for the Kootenay Boundary, explains closures to the Kaslo facility are happening because the community is short a half-time doctor in that community. “We understand the frustration the community feels,” she says. “We don’t want to see disruptions in service.” Currently, there is a halftime doctor on contract in Kaslo along with two additional physicians providing regular locum coverage. “We try get locum coverage to fill the vacancy but over summer every community without doctors is trying to recruit locums too,” she says. She says Interior Health continues to actively recruit for permanent and locum
physicians with local help. “We are engaged with the community and working together to promote Kaslo as a great place to work and live,” she says.
“We understand the frustration the community feels. We don’t want to see disruptions in service.” Cheryl Whittleton
Community Health Services
The health authority advises Kaslo area residents of the following options if they require care when the emer-
gency department is closed: In the event of an emergency, call 9-1-1. Visit the emergency department at Kootenay Lake Hospital in Nelson. For non-urgent needs, visit a walk-in clinic in Nelson. They also suggest noting the weekend and holiday hours of local pharmacies and ensuring prescriptions are up to date. If anyone is unsure about whether they need to go to the emergency department call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1. It’s a 24-hour service. Previous emergency room closures occurred in April and May. However, Interior Health backed off on plans announced last fall to reduce round-the-clock coverage to weekday business hours.

Nelson’s New Sister City
Sandpoint now part of the family SAM VAN SCHIE Nelson Star Reporter
The cities of Nelson and Sandpoint, Idaho officially became sister municipalities last week. The partnership was made official at the June 10 council meeting and will be effective for five years. Sandpoint — located about 100 kilometres south of Creston and about a three hour drive from Nelson — is a laid back, lakeside community of 7,400 tucked between three major mountain ranges. USA Today called it the country’s “most beautiful small town” in 2011. The city is home to Schweitzer Ski Resort, which is already Whitewater’s sister resort. Pass holders at Whitewater get a significant discount on skiing at Schweitzer, and vice versa. And both Nelson and Sandpoint are part of the International Selkirk Loop, a popular

driving tour though Idaho, Washington and BC. Councillor Deb Kozak said there’s talk of developing more tourism opportunities between the two cities. “We can share a lot of tourism and cultural benefits, being that we’re such a short distance from each other,”
Kozak said, noting that both Sandpoint and Nelson have regular farmers’ markets, Artwalk tours and their own local brewery. “People that like what Nelson has will probably like it there too.” Sandpoint is our only sister in North America, though
there was a previous informal partnership with Baie-SaintPaul, Quebec supported by the West Kootenay Francophone Association (AFKO). City Manager Kevin Cormack said it’s up to local businesses or community groups to maintain the sister city relationships. The partnership with Sandpoint is an initiative of the Nelson and District Chamber of Commerce, as well as Whitewater Ski Resort. Nelson has a policy that it will have no more than three sisters, including one in North America, one in a developed county overseas and one in a developing country. Izushi, Japan has been sisters with Nelson for 25 years, and Kaoma, Zambia was added as a sibling last year. Representatives from Sandpoint will attend a Nelson city council meeting on June 24 for the signing of the new partnership agreement.
Provincial Politics
Mungall takes on new shadow cabinet post KIRSTEN HILDEBRAND Nelson Star Reporter
MLA Michelle Mungall takes on the portfolio of Social Development as Adrian Dix announced the official opposition shadow cabinet Friday. “I am very happy to be in this role,” says the NelsonCreston representative. Prior to being elected to provincial office, Mungall worked in the community with Nelson Food Cupboard, the Nelson Committee on Homelessness, coordinated the Habondia Lending Circle and handled youth employment issues. She says NDP leader Dix recognized the experience she could bring to the role. “When we spoke about this appointment, he saw how important it was to have a strong voice in the legislature to hold the government accountable,” she says. Dix says his team will hold Premier Christy Clark and the BC Liberals to account for their promises and record. “Premier Clark’s government was elected on the

claims of a balanced budget, reduced debt, increased core services and increased jobs,” he says. “British Columbians expect the Liberals to live up to the commitments they made, and our caucus will do just that.” Mungall intends to take the government to task for its record on child poverty. “We have had one of Canada’s worst rates for child poverty for the last nine years. In fact, for eight of those nine years we had the worst rate in Canada,” she says. “Hopefully, the government will listen and we can see some forward movement for people and for
greater equality in this province.” Mungall is leaving behind her portfolio of Advanced Education for this new role. David Eby, who took the Vancouver-Point Grey riding from the premier, will fill the Nelson-Creston MLA’s shoes. She takes over from former leader of the opposition Carol James in tackling Social Development. It encompasses the Family Bonus program, social assistance for people on welfare and disability as well as the Social Innovation Program established by the Liberals to encourage partnering with
non-profit agencies among others. “It is quite a large file so my first task, obviously is to dig deep and get myself oriented to all the issues in the ministry,” Mungall says. “As I get up to speed I am really looking forward to working with Carol James on that. She did a fantastic job and she’s moved on to Ministry of Children and Family Development so her and I will continue to work closely together.” Kootenay West MLA Katrine Conroy shadows Seniors and Seniors Health along with the Columbia River Treaty and Columbia Power. According to Dix, British Columbians will not tolerate a return to the say one thing, do another approach that has characterized Liberal rule. “When the legislature sits again starting June 26, we expect the government to demonstrate how its budget is balanced and how it will avoid massive cuts to core services,” he says. “Our team of critics, including seven new MLAs, will be a strong voice to ensure the government is held accountable.”

Welcoming a new sister
T
he City of Nelson is bringing a new sister city into the family. Sandpoint, Idaho is our third sibling, along with Kaoma, Zambia adopted last year and the 25year bond we’ve shared with Izushi, Japan. Sister cities open the door to increased social ties. Nelson regularly welcomes young visitors from Izushi, who come here on school trips to practise their English and experience a different way of life. (Our middle school students used to take part in the exchange before the tsunami in Japan put the program on hold.) Making the three-hour drive across the border to visit Sandpoint may not be as thrilling as an overseas flight to a country with a completely different language and culture — but it is something that the average Nelsonite is far more likely to have an opportunity to do. Pass holders at Whitewater Ski Resort already get discounts at the mountain in Sandpoint and there’s opportunities for other local businesses to form similar partnerships. Live performance venues in both communities could team up to offer more stops for touring acts coming through the area or our galleries could exhibit artists from each other’s communities. There’s already talk of a hiking or crosscountry ski trail to connect our two cities and events to unite people from both places. Our Rotary Clubs already share the WaCanId bike ride along the International Selkirk Loop east September. We’re looking forward to the new relationships that will grow as we get to know our new sibling to the South. We expect we’ll be seeing a lot of each other.

Iran: The new broom
ou certainly can’t say that Iranian elections are boring. In 2005, Iranians surprised everybody by electing the darkest of dark horses, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to the presidency. They didn’t know much about him, but at least he seemed different from all the establishment candidates. Well, he was different, but not in a good way. By the 2009 election Ahmadinejad’s erratic and confrontational style had turned people off, and he should have lost — but he rigged the vote and triggered mass protests that badly frightened the regime before they were crushed. Term limits prevented Ahmadinejad from running again this year, which meant that last Friday’s election was clean. So the Iranians pulled off another surprise, electing Hassan Rouhani, the only moderate candidate among the six contenders, to the presidency in the first round. Rouhani got 50 per cent of the votes; his closest rival got only 16 per cent. The foreign reaction to Rouhani’s victory was instantaneous. The United States offered to open direct talks with Tehran on Iran’s nuclear programme as well as on bilateral relations. Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, by contrast, predictably warned that there should be no “wishful thinking” about Rouhani’s victory. So what is he: new broom, or another disappointment in the making? Especially in the past week, after the “reformist” leadership decided he was the least bad alterna-
tive and threw its weight behind him, Rouhani has been saying some interesting things. “What I truly wish is for moderation to return to the country,” he told the reformist daily Sharq last Wednesday. “We have suffered many blows as a result of extremism.” “It seems that extremists on both sides are
Many in the West are uneasy about waging a campaign against Iran’s quite legal nuclear power program. determined to maintain the state of hostility and hatred between (the United States and Iran),” he told another newspaper on Thursday, “but logic says that there should be a change of direction.” And he repeatedly promised that both the nuclear issue and the resulting economic sanctions against Iran would be solved if he became president. Fine words, but he said most of them AFTER the reformists lost hope for a victory themselves and gave Rouhani their support instead. But he is still really an insider, a man whose whole life has been dedicated to preserving the present political order in Iran. On the other hand, so are Mohammad Khatemi and Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, the two ex-presidents who gave him their backing. They are now seen as reformers because circumstances change, and so do people’s views. All these
men are still determined to preserve Iran’s unique combination of theocracy and democracy, but they understand the need to shift the balance towards democracy, and also to deliver a reasonable level of prosperity to the voters. You might think that Rouhani’s highest priority, therefore, must be to end the sanctions that are crippling Iran’s economy and impoverishing ordinary voters. Not so: trust comes first. In order to retain credibility with the people who voted for him, he must first release Iran’s political prisoners. There are at least 800 political prisoners in Iran. Most are people who participated in the “green” protests against the rigged election of 2009, but journalists, human rights activists, feminists and leaders of all the minority religions in Iran (Christians, Sunni Muslims and Bahai) are also in jail. Even amidst great economic hardship, that is what the crowds in the streets celebrating Rouhani’s victory were demanding most urgently. After that, of course, he must make a deal with the Western countries that have waged a long campaign on Israel’s behalf against Iran’s alleged intention to build nuclear weapons. That is not an impossible task, for Iran is certainly not working on nuclear weapons at the moment: the US National Intelligence Estimates of 2007 and 2011 both say so, and even the Israeli intelligence chiefs agree. The whole campaign against Iran is based not on evidence but on
mistrust: the conviction in some Western quarters (and most Israeli ones) that if Iran can enrich uranium, the “mad mullahs” are bound to build and use nuclear weapons in the end. But it is Iran’s right to build nuclear reactors and enrich fuel for them under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which it has signed and still observes. Many in the West are privately uneasy about waging a campaign against Iran’s quite legal nuclear power program when their own ally, Israel, has not signed the NPT and secretly possesses hundreds of nuclear weapons. Now that motor-mouth Ahmedinejad is gone and a saner leader is about to take the reins in Tehran, there could be a deal on the nuclear issue. It would be a deal that preserves the country’s right to enrich uranium, but strengthens the controls against enrichment to weapons grade (90 per cent). As with the question of releasing political prisoners, however, Rouhani must first get the assent of the Supreme Guide, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Khamenei, as the head of the theocratic side of the government, has the power to veto everything. On the other hand, he also wants to preserve this strange two-headed beast called the Iranian revolution, and he knows that if it does not retain popular consent it will eventually die. Western sanctions are bringing the Iranian economy to its knees, and people are really hurting. So maybe Khamenei will let Rouhani and his backers save him.

Letters to the Editor
The numbers quickly add up
I read with interest the letter by Bob Abrahams (Nelson Star, Wednesday, June 5). That is, until I got to the last line where Mr. Abrahams paints all business as amoral and unethical. Before I get to that Bob, allow me to educate you on what it is like to run a retail business in the internet age. For those of you who think that owning your own business is a licence to print money, I can assure that you that nothing could be farther from the truth. I will only bother to name a few of the endless expenses which increase every year: heat, hydro, water and sewer, property tax, business insurance, rent, building insurance, wages, office supplies, inventories, professional services, and the list goes on and on. These are costs over which a business owner has no control. The only aspect of business which seems to decrease is the price at which you can sell your products. Between intense competition and that thing called the internet, retailers have lost the power to price. What we are left with is a shrinking top line, razor thin margins, and a bottom line that is inexorably squeezed. In other words, working harder for less money, just breaking even, or
even losing money outright. Mr. Abrahams waxes romantic on what a wonderful world it would be if business arbitrarily paid their staff 30 per cent more than the government mandated minimum wage. For the record,
We willingly embrace these daily challenges accepting that the world of business is harsh... minimum wage increased 28 per cent between May 2011 and May 2012 and business has already had to absorb that increase. What he fails to understand is that if business pays their entry level staff an additional 30 per cent, then the next tier of employees gets bumped up by 30 per cent and so to for management. This is compounded by the employer paid expenses such as vacation pay, CPP and EI which add another 15 per cent to the wage expense. All tolled, that would add $60,000 to the annual wage expense of my business. Is Mr. Abrahams going to willingly pay the additional cost I will have to add to
my products to offset that additional expense? More than likely, he will take his business to the internet and purchase that commodity online from a nameless faceless organization who employ no locals and doesn’t add any value to the Nelson community. This highlights the trap small retailers find themselves in today’s wired world. As for Mr. Abrahams comments that all businesses are amoral and unethical, it is obvious that Mr. Abrahams has never owned his own business and really has no idea of what he speaks. Those of us who own businesses are most often hard working, civic minded and involved members of our community who are not afraid to put their risk capital to work. We willingly embrace these daily challenges accepting that the world of business is harsh and that on any day a new competitor or a new technology could close us down. However, to state that all business owners are amoral and unethical is an insult to all of us who own a business and an apology from Mr. Abrahams would be the honourable thing to do. Paul Osak Nelson
Harvest bad idea Working on bear issue
Nelson’s mayor suggested at a recent council meeting that we harvest bears that are harvesting our garbage. Not a good idea unless we were starving. Garbage bears would likely be wormed. Local Sinixt elder explained that before the pilgrims arrived grizzly and black were often harvested while they hibernated. Easier to poke a griz with a sharp stick while sleeping, meat not usually wormy because bears eat a lot of fall mushrooms that probably kill worms. Our best solution for fewer city bear problems is preventing unnecessary habitat destruction at local ski developments and consider the consequences of urban sprawl that often creeps into spring food sources for bears. Tom Prior Nelson
I wish to set the record straight regarding the important issue of bear attractants in the city. Your May 31 article, in discussing Bear Aware coordinator Joanne Siderius’ suggestion that the city consider a bulk order of bear-proof garbage cans, stated that “council [has] little interest in the project.” In fact, during Ms. Siderius’ presentation I requested that city staff research our options on this proposal, including potentially working together with the RDCK and/or other parties. I look forward to receiving that research in due course, discussing our options with my fellow councilors, and deciding on a course of action. Thanks to the Star for continuing to cover this issue, and may I recommend anyone interested read Bear Aware’s 2012 year-end report for Nelson and Areas E and F, available at bearaware. bc.ca.

Crash investigation is ongoing
Cont. from Page 1 He is really going to be missed,” said Grypma. Quibell’s plane was reported missing on Wednesday evening when it failed to arrive at its destination. Early the next morning the wreckage was spotted in a heavily treed area at the 6,500-foot level of a mountain near Crawford Bay. The BC Coroners Service has recovered the body and the Transportation Safety Board continues to investigate the accident. Tr a n s p o r t at i o n Safety Board’s Bill Yearwood said the investigation will be difficult considering the plane, loaded with fuel for a six-hour flight, burst into flames on contact and burned for a longer time than one with less fuel. As well, flight recorders are not required on planes of this size. “The board has just made recommendations with regard to that,” he said. “Audio visual recorders are

becoming more affordable and they certainly would help us in our investigation. In this case we have to rely on our old methods of tree scars, bent metal, burnt metal and light bulb analysis — all the tools we’ve been using for several years.” Quibell has three children in their 20s and was originally from Saskatchewan. His Facebook page paints a picture of a

man very active in the outdoors who loved aviation, motorcycles and skiing. Grypma said Quibell was passionate about flight and did everything he could to ensure others enjoyed it as much as he did. “He would drop whatever he was doing and help somebody, he was just that kind of guy,” said Grypma. “He was reserved, but always there for you.” Grypma said Quibell was no stranger to the part of the Kootenays where his plane crashed. “It was basically his backyard. He knew that area very well,” said Grypma. Though he did not want to speculate too much on the specifics of what happened last week, Grypma said from his experience it’s a challenging area to fly. “The weather that day was up and down,” said Grypma. “The east side of the lake, the mountains on that side, are kind of a weather factory. You can get really nasty downdrafts and the weather can change so quickly.” Tr a n s p o r t at i o n Safety Board investigations can take up to a year. When this one is finished, Grypma hopes his friend’s death will help ensure future accidents don’t take place. “I just hope that
Transport Canada will be able to determine exactly what happened, whether it was mechanical or weather related,” he said. “As an industry we need to learn from this and that is why the investigations take so long because they need to make sure they get all the facts right. Any lessons to be learned are then disseminated and put into the curriculum of Transport Canada’s accident avoidance program. “There is no point in assigning blame. It’s about finding a better way to do things and improve the safety record of general aviation.” Though it is a sad time around the Nelson airport, Grypma said those involved in flying know of the risks each time they lift their airplane’s wheels off the ground. “Everytime you go flying there is an inherent risk, especially when you do it as a living,” said Grypma. “The longer you are involved in aviation, the higher chance somebody you know is going to have an accident.”

Another great local partnership has been solidified thanks to a Friday golf tournament held at Granite Pointe. The Kootenay Lake Hospital Foundation has been running a summer golf tournament fundraiser for more than a decade, but the last few years have been a struggle to garner enthusiasm amongst the volunteers and participants. “It has been difficult for the last couple of years for this event,” said Foundation chair Pat Dooley. “It is a lot of work for the events committee and we were not sure if we were going to do a golf tournament.” Back in March, Tony Maida from Selkirk Paving/Nelson Ready Mix was in a provincial manager’s meeting for the large contractor. The company wanted to step up its already considerable charitable community contributions. Maida was put in charge of organizing the Nelson area golf event and the charity of choice was immediate. “It was one of my mom’s favourite organizations so when they asked me to look after getting a golf tournament going, it was an easy choice for me because the Kootenay Lake Hospital Foundation was so important to her,” said Maida, whose mother Emma passed away from cancer late last year. “It’s not only important to my family, but so many others in this community.” Maida went to work forming a committee for the tournament that included Bryna Idler of the Foundation, Russell Stocks (SPL), Sean Rokosh (SPL general manager), Rob Little (19th Hole Public House), Denny McArthur (Granite Pointe), Monty Fredickson (Granite Pointe), Danny Rickaby (19th Hole Public House) and Calvin Ward (Granite Pointe). The goal of the tournament was make it an invitational for SPL/Nelson Ready Mix suppliers locally and across BC. They also invited companies who came on as gold, silver and bronze sponsors. In a few short months they put together 40

sponsors for the tournament. On Friday when the total was added up, a cheque for $30,000 was cut for the Foundation. “That was our target at our initial meeting, between $20,000 and $30,000,” Maida said. “Once again the community stepped up to the plate. Maybe next year our goal will be $50,000… I’ve had a lot of positive feedback in the last couple of days.” Dooley and the Foundation were extremely pleased with the final total. “It was an amazing event and the volunteers on the board are absolutely thrilled with the outcome,” she said. “It wasn’t a lot of work for the [Foundation] volunteers, yet there was a huge reward at the end.” Dooley said a cheque for $30,000 is “significant” for the Foundation’s annual targets. The two previous Foundation tournaments raised only
$11,000 (2012) and $15,000 (2011). “These kinds of partnerships are so important to our community,” said Dooley. “It says a lot about the values of the company. They want to give back to the community in recognition of the support they get.” Selkirk Paving has been a strong supporter of local sports teams and other charities. Earlier this month, the SPL team raised $15,000 for the annual ALS Walk at Lakeside Park and back in May the SPL team raised the second most money at the high powered Ronald McDonald House charity golf tournament in Kelowna. “Our goal for many years has been to give back to the community and that is what we do,” said Maida. “We try to help out where we can.” Maida and Dooley said the format used in last week’s scramble golf tournament will likely be employed for the 2014 event.

With the warmer, late spring weather, the Nelson Police Department find themselves interacting with more people drinking alcohol and smoking drugs in public places such as sidewalks, lane ways and city parks. “We are troubled at the number of people who chose to drink and smoke while walking downtown,” says a release issued by the department. “The Nelson Police Department would like to remind those that chose to flaunt the laws that govern controlled substances and alcohol that it invites police attention and risks possible sanctions.” Drinking alcohol in public places could net a ticket for up to $230. Police say some people believe that marijuana is now legal. They remind the public that it is still a controlled substance. Major theft in Woodbury reported by RCMP The theft of fishing gear totaling
over $40,000 from Woodbury Resort and Marina has Kaslo RCMP looking for assistance. The theft occurred early on May 30, but police only announced it on Friday. An unknown suspect entered several of the boats housed at the marina and stole about 40 high-end fishing rods, reels, several tackle boxes as well as other fishing related equipment. “A number of the items taken are reported to be as a result of years of collecting pieces of fishing gear and is estimated to be valued in excess of $40,000,” Cpl. Shaun Begg said in a news release. The suspect or suspects loaded all the gear into a boat parked at the marina and used it as a getaway vessel. The stolen boat was recovered about two kilometres away from Woodbury. Contact the Kaslo RCMP 250353-2225 or call Crime Stoppers 250-352-8288 with any information surrounding the thefts, or assistance leading to the location of the stolen fishing gear.

Hall Street Corridor
Open house set for Thursday Nelson Star Staff
The City is moving forward with well-received plans to upgrade a vital link between Nelson’s downtown and its waterfront. The Nelson and District Chamber of Commerce is hosting a public meeting tomorrow to review preliminary design work for the Hall Street corridor. Nelson Mayor John Dooley says the Hall Street plan, being undertaken by Kelowna’s MMM Group, is a major goal in the City’s efforts to connect two of Nelson’s most important parts of town — Baker Street and the lake front. “When we completed the Sustainable Downtown Waterfront Master Plan, one of the main focuses that emerged was to link our two largest draws — the downtown and waterfront,” says Dooley.
Summer Art Camp 2013
“We see the Hall Street overhaul as a catalyst to redevelopment in the central waterfront — to introduce the waterfront to our visitors and add considerable new vitality to the downtown.” MMM Group spokesman Robert Fershau says that since plans for the Hall Street corridor were made public early last month, feedback has been quite positive. “Residents are saying they like our suggestions for IODE park, angled parking, the realignment of Nelson and District Community Complex entry, the Baker Street plaza, and the changes suggested for Vernon Street and Baker,” says Fershau. He adds that there is some concern from neighbourhood business owners over proposed traffic flow of a one-way option down Hall Street between Vernon Street and Lake.

However, Fershau added no final decision has been made in regards to traffic flow at this point in time and that any proposed changes can be tested prior to implementation. The Hall Street plan has generated considerable banter on line. A Facebook page devoted to the project, facebook.com/pages/Hall-StreetCorridor-Preliminary-Design, has received about 100 visits per day since it launched five weeks ago. Tomorrow night’s meeting includes a drop-in, where locals can get information and ask questions to City staff and MMM’s consultants, between 5 and 7 p.m. There will be a formal presentation on the recommendations beginning at 7. The Chamber is encouraging all businesses and property owners downtown to attend, especially those directly linked to the Hall Street corridor.

“Strong lady, my sister,” said Jim. “She seems to recognize her husband and her children. She’s come a long way in five days. That’s why we’re saying this is a miracle. It [the accident] was quite the impact.” Maia also suffered many broken bones and has internal injuries but stabilized sooner than her mother. “She seems to be doing quite well though she’s in a lot of pain,” said Jim. “She wants to get out of bed.” Maia will also have a long recovery ahead aided by her youth. Well-known across Canada for its quality trauma unit, Jim is thankful his sister and niece are in such good hands at the Foothills Hospital ICU. “So may people were required to keep Pat alive,” he said. “It must be truly an amazing team they have there.” Pat’s husband, Larry and their two other children Zoe and Liam are in Calgary to be
with their recovering loved ones. It’s been a difficult being so far away during this time of family crisis, said Jim. “I don’t think I’ve gone through anything in my whole life as stressful as being here and feeling like there is nothing you can do,” he said. “I’ve probably done more praying this week than I have done in the last year. I’ve prayed more for my sister than anything else. At least then, it feels like you are doing something.” It is expected that Pat will be in the hospital for several months before even entering rehabilitation. The cost to the family in the next year as Pat and Maia recover will be “tremendous” said Jim. And already locals are working to help. Pat’s close friend and coworker at Selkirk College Joyce Buckler has set up a fund to help the family through the long struggle still lying ahead. Called the Pat Henman Support Fund, Buckler said people wanted to give back to the woman who worked fundraising for the college. “Her co-workers wanted to help and it just spread from there,” she said. “I am hoping this fund will help them financially to pay for accommodations, for food and any expenses around staying in Calgary for an extended period of time while they [Pat and Maia] are recovering.” The accident has been traumatic for those close to the well-known woman. “We want them to come home,” said Buckler. “They are so well-known and well-

liked. It’s very sad what’s happened to them. It’s going to be a long road back for them. We can’t be there to mend their bones, but maybe we can help financially to ease the burden a bit.” Anyone wishing to help can contact Buckler at 250365-1360 or through email at jbuckler@selkirk.ca. As investigation into the crash continues, Kimberley RCMP is seeking witnesses to the event taking place on June 9. At about 5:30 p.m. near Skookumchuck, a northbound grey 2002 Ford Escape with an Alberta licence plate crossed the centre line and struck the red
Toyota Corolla head on. Pat and Maia were returning from Calgary at the time along Highway 93/95. Police suspect alcohol was a factor in the accident and would like to hear from anyone who may have observed driving behaviour of those involved. RCMP also wishes to speak with anyone in contact with the drivers of either vehicle in the hours preceding the crash. Anyone with information can contact the Kimberley detachment at 250-427-4811.

The Village of Salmo is giving its unsightly premises bylaw a major overhaul. Once adopted, the responsibility of unkempt property will be taken from the government’s hands and placed squarely into the village’s. “The old bylaw was based on the local government act,” said Scott Sommerville, outgoing village administrator. “The new bylaw will be based on the Community Charter.” In other words, the current bylaw does not outline the procedure for allowing the property owner an opportunity to be heard (procedural fairness) or council to pass a resolution to enforce remedial action. The old bylaw required enforcement under the Offence Act of BC, and the new bylaw will be enforced by municipal ticketing and remedial action, Sommerville explained. Once the new bylaw is adopted, residents can expect a process whereby complaints will prompt an inspection; letter to the property owner; and report to council. “Because remedial action cannot be delegated to staff for unsightly premises the person should have a chance to be heard,” explained councillor Merle Hanson. “As such, council will then make the decisions.” If all these steps fail, the village can effect cleanup and add the expense of ensuing work to the property taxes, said Sommerville. “Residents can expect that properties which take away from the well being of the community will be dealt with.” Further, property owners will not just be fined, but the village will be able to conduct clean up and bill the owner for the work. “Most of this bylaw is about going in and cleaning up,” said Sommerville. The person is given three weeks to complete the clean up, and if not compliant, a report is given to council, he said. “At that point, council may pass a resolution to allow a further three weeks, and the process will continue from there.” After lengthy discussion, Salmo council gave the updated bylaw its first reading this month.

Nelson Youth Soccer Rep Teams
Nelson Selects invade Steele town tourney Nelson Star Staff
Six of Nelson’s eight rep soccer teams traveled to Cranbrook this past weekend in search of Sam Steele Tournament medals. All six came home with something for the trophy case. The annual tournament saw the Nelson Selects compete in U13G, U16G, U13B, U14B, U16B and U17B. Two golds, a silver and three bronze medals were mined by Sunday afternoon. U13 GIRLS MAKE UP FOR PROVINCIAL STUMBLE The Nelson Selects U13 Girls team headed to the Sam Steele Tournament in Cranbrook bent on redemption and returned home with gold. The previous weekend, the Selects traveled to Cranbrook for the Kootenay provincial playdowns and were narrowly edged by the Kootenay East Youth Soccer Association (KEYSA) Rovers. “It was extremely disappointing for the girls to not make it to provincials by one goal and it was a tough week of wondering: what could have been,” said U13 coach Pete Quinn. “The weekend provided an opportunity to get revenge and prove we have a strong team.” The Selects started the tournament Saturday morning against Canmore. The Alberta team — made up of a mix of U14 and U13 girls — came out strong and applied early pressure. But five minutes into the game, the Nelson side woke up and started applying pressure of its own. At the sixminute mark, striker Jodi Surina pounced on a loose ball during a scramble in front of the Canmore net and ended up kneeing the ball into the goal for the 1-0 lead. Eighteen minutes into the first

half, good possession soccer by the Selects ended with a goal by striker Shaen Panko-Dool who put away a ball inside the sixyard box for the 2-0 lead that would hold until half. Canmore came out strong in the second half and three minutes in Nelson keeper Hanna Quinn made a diving save to keep the score at 2-0. Nelson controlled the majority of the play in the second half with several scoring chances and impenetrable defence. No goals were scored and the Selects were off to a good start with a solid win. In the Saturday afternoon game, the Selects took on the Columbia Valley (Invermere) side and came out strong from the opening whistle. Ten minutes into the game, striker Simone Kirsten made a nice cross to midfielder Shianne Michalchuk who popped the ball top corner
from in close to give Nelson the 1-0 lead. Ten minutes into the second half, Panko-Dool was taken down on a scoring chance inside the 18-yard box which led to a free kick. Defender Emily Taylor took the shot and made no mistake going low corner for the 2-0 lead. With ten minutes left in the game, midfielder Sofia Arcuri dangled through the two Columbia Valley defenders and lofted a ball over the head of the goalie to give Nelson a 3-0 lead which held to the end of the game. “Our possession game in the first two games was the difference,” said coach Quinn. “We scored five goals, but it could have easily been more.” With the two wins, the Selects were guaranteed a spot in the Sunday afternoon tournament final. But on Sunday morning

the competition was the focus of why the U13s made the trip: the KEYSA Rovers. Seven minutes into the game the play was evenly matched when Panko-Dool rambled down the wing and attempted to cross a ball that bounced off the Rovers defender and into the net for an own-goal and a 1-0 lead. After heavy pressure by Cranbrook during the first ten minutes of the second half, Nelson regained control of the game. Surina took a shot in close that the KEYSA goalie got a piece of, but Panko-Dool pounced on the loose ball to make the score 2-0. In the final minutes of the game, the Rovers put on big pressure but keeper Quinn kept the ball out of the goal for the 2-0 win. “Obviously that was a huge boost of confidence,” said coach Quinn. “The girls battled hard
and were rewarded for their enthusiastic effort.” The tournament final was a rematch of the morning game with the host Rovers now looking for revenge. Though the Selects started slow in the first three games, this wasn’t the case in the final where they controlled the first half from the opening whistle. Five minutes in, defender Allison Bendis jumped on a loose ball just outside the 18-yard box and pounded a shot over the KEYSA goaltender for the 1-0 lead. Ten minutes after that, midfielder Elle Atkinson sprang striker Mattea Lorenzo-Langevin on a breakaway and the speedy forward made no mistake going low corner for the 2-0 lead. In the second half, the Rovers put on a desperate push in the last ten minutes and with five minutes remaining were rewarded when their striker scored on a breakaway that just went off the fingertips of keeper Quinn. The remainder of the game provided the most exciting moments of the weekend and ended in the final seconds when Nelson defender Julia Burkart accidently headed a ball towards her own net, but Quinn’s reflexes were up to the task to prevent disaster and the game ended 2-1. “It was a total team effort on the weekend,” said coach Quinn. “But our defence, anchored by Julia [Burkart] and Emily [Taylor] was the big difference. To only allow one goal in the tournament is a testament to just how strong the entire backline was in all four games. “This group of girls will be playing against that Cranbrook team in big games for many years to come and with both teams being so close in skill level, it’s going to be an exciting rivalry.” Stories continues on Page 19

Continued from Page 18 U17 BOYS CRUISE TO GOLD The Nelson Selects U17 Boys dominated two KEYSA squads (U16 and U18) and the U17 side from Coaldale, Alberta to win gold at the Sam Steele. The Nelson squad was undefeated, and keeper Cole Sutherland was rock solid and posted an impressive tournament shutout. The Selects controlled play throughout the entire tournament with their possession-style game. Dominating the two squads from Cranbrook on Saturday, Nelson ended Saturday with a perfect 2-0 record. On Sunday morning, Nelson handily defeated the squad from Coaldale, Alberta. Coaldale also defeated the Cranbrook squads, setting up a repeat match between Nelson and Coaldale for the gold medal. Once again, Nelson dominated the Alberta squad. The ball rarely left the Coaldale end and Nelson captured gold. STRONG DEFENCE NOT QUITE ENOUGH FOR U16 BOYS Anyone who says “defense wins championships” hasn’t met the Nelson Selects U16 Boys whose d-line was perhaps the best of the weekend, but a notable lack of offense resulted in a second placed finish at the Sam Steele Days tournament at Moir Park in Cranbrook. But it wasn’t for lack of trying. Nelson just couldn’t find the net. On Saturday afternoon, Nelson opened with a 2-0 win over Canmore in a physical contest. Nelson opened the scoring two minutes into the second half when James Miller followed up on a Spencer Szabo shot that the goalie couldn’t hang on to. The ball twisted out of his hands and onto the feet of the rapidly approaching Miller who made no mistake with the one-timer. With the play still tight in the first half, Andrew Knapik would get an important second goal for the team midway through the frame on a fine individual effort as he twisted and turned through three defenders on the edge of the 18-yard box before unleashing a sharp shot that would beat the Canmore keeper. Game two that afternoon saw the first rematch with arch rival Columbia Valley, the Invermere-based team Nelson dispatched from the Kootenay playdowns a week previous to advance to the Provincial B Cup. This time it would be Columbia Valley victorious as they held on for a 1-0 win over the Selects after Nelson inadvertently scored an own-goal two minutes into the second half following some pressure in their own end. Needing a tie or a win to advance to the final, Story continues to ‘U16 Selects’ on Page 21

U16 Selects can’t find back of the net
Continued from Page 19 Nelson would get the former on Sunday as they played to a 0-0 draw with Creston. Nelson was dominant in possession play and had many chances on goal but couldn’t find the back of the net. With the likes of Nick Wethal, Amit Bhabra and Theo Bakas among others the team was superb defensively allowing only one scoring chance for Creston the entire match. The final match would end up exactly as the two teams met before with a 1-0 Columbia Valley win over Nelson and it was again the Selects scoring an own-goal in the first minute of the second half, this time in a frantic scramble in front of the Nelson keeper. Otherwise, it was another defensive battle that again saw Nelson miss on many chances against a very worthy goalkeeper. In the four games, Nelson would only allow two goals, both own-goals. Conversely, they only managed two goals all tournament, both in the first game. Liam Guenther was keeper for the Selects in all matches.

Big Score for Nelson Diamondbacks The Nelson Diamondbacks earned a spot in the West Kootenay Babe Ruth semi-finals after crushing Grand Forks 18-7 at Queen Elizabeth Park on Monday night. The Diamondbacks came out red hot in the first inning with timely hits and strong pitching by Quin Hall. With solid production from the bottom half of the line-up, the Diamondbacks built up a lead and never looked back. Leftie Braeden Zarikoff (above) came in for the last four innings and was dynamite on the mound. The win advanced the Diamondbacks to the league semi-finals Bob Hall photo which took place in Trail Tuesday night.

Feature East Shore Pillar Marks a Century
Gray Creek Store celebrating 100 years brian lawrence Creston Valley Advance Editor
F
or 100 years, the Gray Creek Store has served Kootenay Lake’s East Shore, offering customers groceries to fireplaces and books to lumber — with 20,000 items in stock, customers can find just about anything imaginable. Replacing a row of oaks planted by founder Arthur Lymbery is a new warehouse, built over the winter to house lumber, woodstoves, drywall, fenceposts and more. “We always knew lumber was needed here,” said Tom Lymbery, the octogenarian son of Arthur. “We’ve sold a lot of building supplies.” When his father started the store in 1913, the Canadian Pacific Railroad line ended at Kootenay Landing, so the company ran the sternwheelers to transport passengers and cargo to the West Kootenay.
“He happened to live closest to the sandy beach where the sternwheelers dropped the supplies off when he came here in 1911,” said Lymbery in a 2008 interview. “In 1913, the community got together and asked him to run a store on boat days. In those early years, it was three days a week, and got cut back to two days some of the time, until 1931 when this became a ferry landing.” That happened after the CPR line from Kootenay Landing to Nelson opened in January, and in April 1931, the SS Nasookin, leased from the CPR by the provincial government for $90 a day, began making three daily trips from Gray Creek to Fraser’s Landing, a mile north of Balfour. “The first day the ferry ran, my mother remarked that … they had a dollar to put away,” Lymbery said. “Before that, there was very little cash avail-

able. If someone wanted to pay somebody else for work, they would ask my dad to charge his account and credit somebody else’s.” Being adjacent to the ferry landing proved to be an asset
“
throughout the 1930s and 1940s, until the Kootenay Lake ferry system was established between Balfour and Kootenay Bay in 1947. “We saw every salesman because they had to wait for the
ferry,” Lymbery said. “My dad was always looking for something different to sell.” That’s still the case — the store has a new coffee bar, and also offers fire logs made of compressed chips from Wynndel Box and Lumber — but as new products become popular, others fall out of use or, as in the case of chainsaws, become readily available elsewhere. The Gray Creek Store used to sell eight different brands, starting in the mid-1950s. “Of course, a chainsaw was a different animal,” Lymbery said. “You had to train people how to use it.” Lymbery had, of course, grown up with the business, but didn’t take a serious role in overseeing it until he returned from a Vancouver boarding school; education at the Gray Story continues on Page 27

Continued from Page 26 Creek school (located in the Gray Creek Hall) only went to Grade 8. “When I came home from that, my folks were having a struggle keeping things running, so I helped out and gradually took over,” he said. Lymbery kept the products diverse and began adding other services, such as selling car insurance in 1955 (before selling that part of the business to the Nelson and District Credit Union a few years ago) and becoming a notary in 1965, allowing him to certify documents and signatures. By the late ‘70s, the Gray Creek Store outgrew its original location, and a new store, the current one, was built next door, with two stories housing its inventory. Lymbery is quick to point out some of the store’s longstanding items, such as Stanfield’s underwear, and some of the more recent, including German “air conditioning” liners for rubber boots, and the

Shewee, a portable urinating device for women. “I can’t guess what products we’ll stock in the future,” he said. “But there are still people looking for practical things.” The store is an excellent place to learn more about Kootenay Lake — beyond Lymbery’s encyclopedic knowledge of Kootenay Lake history and dates, the shelves are well stocked with history books, and the Nasookin’s wheel hangs from the ceiling. In 2011, Capt. Malcolm MacKinnon’s grandson, Malcolm Metcalfe, donated it to the store.
Simply because of its location, travel has always been associated with the store’s business — and the store became widely known long before technology made word easy to spread. “If we were just supplying the people in Gray Creek, we wouldn’t survive. Long before online sales, we sold a chainsaw to someone slashing the line between Alaska and BC.” Through his years running the store, Lymbery has had his wife, Sharon — who was born in Kimberley and moved to Riondel in 1951 — by his side. But
before she was his wife, she was a customer. “I met her over the counter,” said Lymbery. Tradition has continued, and the Gray Creek Store is still very much a family business. Under the supervision of manager Debbie Pliska, Lymbery’s son, David, and daughter-in-law, Kris, work there, as do two grandsons each summer. And although Lymbery no longer comes to work every day, he still enjoys the time he spends at the store, and is happy to see the business can run well without him. “The customers become your friends,” he said. “I get so many interesting people in here. ... You’re not sitting behind the counter selling the same thing. People think I have all the answers, but I’m lucky to have such a great staff.” A celebration of Gray Creek Store’s 100th anniversary will be held Saturday, June 29 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Raffle items include a barbecue, and wood and pellet stoves.
