The BC Court of Appeal has dismissed a challenge from a former Nelson lawyer and university professor who said his right to a speedy trial was violated.

In one of the city’s longest-running legal sagas, Marvin Singleton, now 80, was convicted of stealing nearly half a million dollars from an estate of which he was executor during the 1980s and sentenced to three years in prison.

He asked for a stay of proceedings based on the argument that he was denied a trial within a reasonable time because police stopped looking for him for four years. Singleton, who was eventually arrested in Kansas in 2004, where he taught part-time at a community college, claimed he was not trying to hide.

However, the judge ruled any delays in the case were largely of his own making and the appeal court this week unanimously upheld that decision.

“In effect, he says he was there to be found, and would have been found had the police tried harder,” Justice David Frankel wrote for the three-member panel. “It cannot be said that the police failed to act with reasonable diligence. Attempting to locate someone in a country as vast as the United States without any idea of where to look is akin to trying to find the proverbial needle in a haystack.”

The appeal court said the trial judge erred in ruling that once Singleton became aware of the charges it was his responsibility to return to Canada, but still concluded she was correct in not attributing the fouryear delay to the Crown.

Singleton, who taught at Notre Dame University in Nelson in the 1970s, and became a lawyer after the school closed, moved to Texas in 1993. Four years later, charges of fraud and theft were laid against him over the estate of John George Alexander, and a warrant issued for his arrest. Singleton was aware of the charges by mid-1998.

However, when RCMP enquired with authorities in Texas, they learned he had left the area and his Continued on Page 4

Tensions mount during first week of job action

No resolution in teacher strike Tamara Hynd Nelson Star

Kootenay Lake district schools are four days into the full strike action by the BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF).

With little movement from the BC Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) since the federation clarified its renewed proposal on Wednesday, there appears to be no quick end in sight.

BC Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Thursday morning that the government will not “split the difference” between the proposed demands of the BCTF and BCPSEA’s offerings.

“We are now further away from an agreement than we were a week ago,” said Fassbender. “I want to be clear that BCPSEA is not walking away from the table and we remain committed to reaching an agreement by June 30. Nor is government interested in legislating a contract. We appreciate that brings with it the possibility that this strike could go on for quite a while.”

While opinions differ and negotiations occur or stall provincially, the effects locally are evident.

The BC Labour Relations Board has deemed provincial exams for grades 10, 11 and 12 an essential service and the Nelson District Teachers Association (NDTA) and Kootenay Lake school district are doing their best to be there for their students.

Paul Boscariol, NDTA president and Kootenay Lake school district superintendent Jeff Jones both commented on the effects the labour dispute has had on students and staff.

One difference is teachers have not been available to assist students with exam preparation and course review, something many students take advantage of during exam week.

Jones explained that exams are being supervised and marked by administrators.

With bargaining happening provincially, Kootenay Lake administrators and teachers are trying to manage the situation, aware they will continue to work with each other once a deal is made.

The full strike was preceded by escalating phases of limited job action by the BCTF since April 23, all as a result of the back and forth between the two bargaining agents.

Teachers picketed in front of Trafalgar Middle School in Nelson alongside their CUPE co-workers.

Jones said “Teachers and administrators have been working with each other throughout the district to negotiate shifting boundaries and expectations and to maintain our emphasis on meeting student needs, even as the action escalated. As a result of increasing pressure through the strike action, and the actions of the Ministry, tensions are rising.”

Jones said overall relationships have remained professional and the district appreciates the efforts of all of their staff. “It will take time to reestablish many of our district initiatives but we also know that ultimately we will work together.”

While Jones and Boscariol agree that teachers have always worked cooperatively with the employer and vice versa, even with the best amount of cooperation there are still issues that have caused strife.

Boscariol said “The lock out and the removal of keys which clearly demonstrates the employer does not trust the teachers, has resulted in destroying relationships which have taken years to build.”

Jones said the Ministry’s actions to reduce salaries and the district’s decision to ask teachers to hand in their keys prior to the full withdrawal of services was contentious: “Unfortunately both actions are normal in the course of this kind of job action and strike.”

Jones also commented that CUPE staff are

significantly impacted because as members of a union, they have chosen not to cross the teachers’ picket lines.

“Members of the NDTA, like all other teachers around the province, would much rather be in their classrooms teaching,” said Boscariol. “Everyone was extremely disappointed with the lack of bargaining from BCPSEA during the weekend long bargaining session.

“The biggest issue at the table is class size and composition. As a result of the stripping of these provisions in 2002, we have seen increased class sizes, and more students requiring extra help without the necessary resources to assist them. Schools have lost teacher-librarians, elementary school counselors and special education and learning assistance teacher time.”

The BC Supreme Court ruled Bill 28 and 22 (which removes class size and composition from collective bargaining), as legislated by the BC government, were unconstitutional in two separate rulings in 2011 and January 2014 and that the government was not negotiating with the BCTF in “good faith.” In the 2014 ruling, the judge awarded the BCTF $2 million in damages; the BC government has appealed the court’s ruling.

The BCTF and BCPSEA have been negotiating on and off since last year.

GREAT FAMILY HOME!

Nelson Star

Ron Cox clearly remembers regaining consciousness on February 18, 1945 to find a German Schmeisser levelled at his face.

This is only one of the Second World War images seared into the 94-year-old Nelson resident’s memory. While serving with the Vancouver Island-based Canadian Scottish Regiment he experienced chaos and slaughter while storming Normandy Beach, was injured by shrapnel multiple times and spent two months as a prisoner of war.

Seventy years later, sitting on his lawn overlooking Kootenay Lake, he can still describe exactly how D-Day played out.

“We got on board and you had to wait.

We went to sleep, went down to Normandy and the waves were going up and down like this,” Cox said, motioning with his arms.

“The small craft comes along, and you climb down the rope ladder. The big ships are going like this. It was quite risky. We got on ‘em and right before we landed the guy says ‘I’ll be back for you’. I said like hell we’re going back on that water.”

Men were being gunned down all around him while they advanced on Hermann Goering’s division.

“They had more ammunition than we did,” he said. His captain, Denis Huscroft, was injured during the offensive.

“He was good. One of the good ones,” said Cox. “He got injured there and out he goes. When you come back they put you anywhere. He was in another outfit then he got killed.”

Cox never saw his captain again. He noted that Huscroft’s family still lives in the area, and he thinks of him often.

When he was struck by shrapnel in the back and neck later in the war, Cox said he didn’t have time to process what had happened.

“I dropped like a stone. There’s no warning and then boom.”

He said conditions for the prisoners were desperate.

“The Germans had nothing to give you.

Well maintained 3 bed + den family home in sunny Fairview close to schools, Lakeside Park and short walk to downtown. Private location with covered deck. Great yard with raised beds, flower gardens & lots of parking off the alley. Lovely sun porch for coffee in the morning sun, bright kitchen, living and dining plus main bedroom and den on the main floor. Bottom floor has separate entrance with boot room, lots of storage, rec room, laundry, 1/2 bath and workshop with it’s own outside entrance as well. 60x120 double lot.

They had nothing for themselves. They put us on the road and we marched. We started hearing the Russian guns and they turned us around and started walking the other way,” he said.

Cox said he had to adopt a certain emotional attitude to make it through. “You don’t want to have any special friendship because you’re missing ‘em every day. It’s that simple. You’re standing there, and he gets shot?”

That survival strategy ended with the war, because Cox has stayed close with every living member of his regiment and recently hosted them for an annual celebration at the Legion. He is the last surviving member locally, and is one of 12 country-wide.

Cox recently received a new medal, commemorating the 70th anniversary of D-Day, from the government of France. He barely has room on his uniform for it, and said he’s

starting to lose track of them.

“If he gets any more he won’t be able to wear ‘em,” said his wife Sheila.

Though his military accomplishments are hugely important to him, Cox was selfeffacing during his recent interview with the Star.

“To me it’s another medal,” he said. “They came in the rations. I wasn’t hungry, so I kept them.”

When asked the secret to his longevity, Cox didn’t hesitate.

“My wife,” he said, reaching over to squeeze her arm. Cox met Sheila shortly after the war ended, and they were married in 1946. This year they will celebrate their 68th wedding anniversary.

“And I’m not going anywhere,” said Sheila.

“Hear that?” Cox asked the Star. “That was a promise.”

Police do not suspect foul play

Missing man’s body discovered

Nelson RCMP say the body of a 21-year-old North Shore man has been found in a wooded area near the north end of the orange bridge.

Nelson Search and Rescue found Michael Mucha’s body at about 10 a.m. on Wednesday.

The exact cause of death is not being released, but police confirm foul play is not suspected.

His family has been notified.

Mucha went missing sometime early Tuesday from his home in the 800 block of Highway 3A on the North Shore.

He left all his personal belongings at home and appears to have walked off.

Search and rescue conducted a grid search behind his home up the mountainside and to the power lines late into the evening with no success.

Approximately 50 residents protest new devices

Smart meter rally in South Slocan TAMARA HYND Nelson Star

More than 50 people rallied in South Slocan on Saturday in support of a nationwide protest against the installation of the controversial smart meter, a new electrical meter that is replacing the existing ones in FortisBC service areas starting in August.

West Kootenay federal MP Alex Atamenenko and several municipal councillors from the region were among the crowd that gathered beside the Dam Inn on Highway 3A. Smart meters or AMI (advanced meter infrastructure) meters are part of a global grid system set to replace the analogue meters in FortisBC areas.

“They are neither smart nor advanced,” said Daphne Fields, the rally organizer who worked in conjunction with Citizens for Safe Technology’s provincial efforts.

She claims they have been shown to create problems in

Locals joined in solidarity in a nationwide rally against smart meters Arthur Joyce photo on Saturday. many areas: health, privacy, security, safety — she said they can catch on fire — economics (causing whole countries, such as Germany to opt out) and she said customers’ electricity bills skyrocket.

“In 2011 the World Health Organization classified radiofrequency radiation as a possible cause of cancer. We must now prompt our health agencies to act without delay by implementing the precautionary principle to reduce the significant health risk to the public in

general.”

“It has been called the next pandemic,” said Fields. “As someone who has been severely affected myself, I do not doubt that this may indeed be what happens. This is therefore a red alert for our area. Why, knowing what we know now, would we put, in the form of a smart meter, a microwave transmitting device on each and every one of our homes and businesses? A device which cannot be turned off or unplugged and emits a pulsed radiation 24/7,”

she asked. Fortis customers can opt out by choosing a radio-off option to receive an advanced meter with the radio transmissions disabled.

However, according to the Fortis BC website, “Advanced meters will operate well below the standards set by Health Canada in Safety Code 6 — the electromagnetic frequency guidelines. They operate around 900 MHz, which is similar to a household cordless phone and emit far less EMF than many of the common electronic devices we use every day in our homes, like microwaves or laptop computers. Advanced meters transmit for a total of about one minute a day.”

Field said many countries and smaller entities all over the planet have resisted this global grid which is profit, not science driven.

whereabouts were unknown.

Consequently, investigators gave the file a low priority and turned his attention to another matter.

They returned to Singleton’s case four years later and tracked down his daughter, who provided them with a Kansas address. However, it took another two years before Singleton was finally arrested and he spent a further two years in a US prison unsuccessfully fighting extradition.

He returned to Canada in 2006 and following a series of

motions, appeals, and delays, finally stood trial in 2009. He was convicted the following year.

Singleton also claimed his declining cognitive abilities hurt his ability to defend himself.

However, the appeal court noted that the trial judge observed him testifying for 10 days and found him “very able to participate in his trial to the extent necessary to mount a detailed and comprehensive defense with the assistance of able counsel.”

Justice Frankel also wrote that “following his arrest in midAugust 2004 and for several years thereafter, Mr. Singleton

The BC Court of Appeal has dismissed a challenge from former Nelson lawyer Marvin Singleton. had no interest in a trial, timely or otherwise … I have difficulty accepting that someone who,

but for his own actions, likely would have come to trial in late 2006, can seek to avoid being tried three years later due to a decline in cognitive abilities that did not meaningfully affect his ability to defend himself.”

The BC Law Society reimbursed the beneficiaries of the estate Singleton stole from through a special compensation fund. The society also compensated a second estate Singleton handled, although charges in that case were dropped.

Impromptu rally takes place at Nelson’s mall

Pipeline protestors gather WILL JOHNSON

Become a front line health care worker

Nelson Star

Over a hundred people congregated in the parking lot of Chahko Mika Mall on Wednesday for an impromptu pipeline protest.

“Yesterday the Stephen Harper government announced their approval of the Northern Gateway pipeline and a lot of people said we’ve gotta get together and send a resounding ‘no’ back,” said Keith Wiley, a volunteer with Kootenays for a Pipeline-Free BC. Armed with a 20-foot fake pipeline, placards and brochures that they handed out to passersby, the protestors were met with everything from bleating truck horns and enthusiastic support to upraised middle fingers and shouted taunts.

The local contingent joins groups provincewide who have pledged to oppose the pipeline and stall its progress. Last weekend the Nelson Critical Mass event saw over 70 participants bike down Baker and Vernon streets before holding a rally in Lakeside Park.

Wiley said Nelson residents have been coordinating with a variety of environmental groups country-wide to come up with protest strategies going forward.

“We’re trying to spark a movement this summer of action all over Canada of clean energy and turning away from the tar sands,” said Wiley. “Everybody can play a part. You don’t have to go far away. Participate, rally, talk to your friends and neighbours.”

Meanwhile, BC aboriginal communities issued a statement on Tuesday vowing to take the Stephen Harper government to court to protect their aboriginal title and rights on the land affected by the pipeline and proposed tanker port for diluted bitumen on Douglas Channel.

Aboriginal opponents include the Haida, Gitgaat, Heiltsuk and Haisla First Nations, as well as communities in the BC Interior.

“We will uphold our responsibilities and Haida laws to protect our territory,” said president of the Haida Nation Kil tlaats’gaa, Peter Landin. “We will not allow the Northern Gateway tanker and pipeline project to proceed.”

According to the letter, dated June 17, the Haida nation has opposed the project since 2005. They have repeatedly expressed concerns about the potential risk of an oil spill, and feel their environment and economy are at risk.

“We will take our fight to the land, sea and courts to uphold and protect Haida territory, and to ensure clean water, clean air and a

More than 100 people took part in a pipeline protest in Nelson on Wednesday.

healthy way of life for future generations,” he said. “Harper’s decision is just plain wrong and not in the ‘National Interest’ as claimed.”

Harper’s approval of the pipeline was based on an 18-month Joint Review Panel process that many opponents saw as fundamentally flawed. And though there are 209 conditions recommended by the National Energy Board and further talks planned with aboriginal communities, the Nelson protestors were unimpressed.

“The one I like is they say they’ve got worldclass systems to prevent leaks or for cleaning up leaks and tanker spills. That sounds good.

They’ve got the best in the world. Well, the best in the world doesn’t do very well. This stuff doesn’t clean up. When they say world-class they mean recovering 10 percent of the spill, maybe 15. They’re pushing a myth that they’ll clean it up if it spills, and we’re not buying it,” said Wiley.

According to data compiled from Enbridge’s reports, the Polaris Institute has calculated that 804 spills occurred on Enbridge pipelines between 1999 and 2010.

BC NDP leader John Horgan said he wants resource development that creates jobs, particularly for aboriginal communities. He said the BC Liberals have lost their opportunity to oppose the pipeline.

At the federal level, both NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, Green Party Leader Elizabeth May and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau have vowed

to reverse the decision, and have released statements condemning the project.

Recently Al Monaco, president and CEO of Enbridge, told reporters that the economic benefits of the pipeline are demonstrable, but the company will have to do additional work to convince the public of the viability of the project.

“If we can’t prove our safety and environmental protection, the economic benefits won’t matter,” said Monaco. “In other words, the economic benefits alone are not enough to sustain public support.”

But Wiley said the economic benefits are negligible when compared to the potential havoc wreaked by an oil spill.

The brochures handed out on Wednesday encouraged people to “Occupy the Pipeline Everywhere!” The brochure lists some of their specific issues with the pipeline, including the fact that it will increase carbon dioxide emissions of tar sands extraction by as much as 33 per cent and that over 11,000 tanker trips are projected for the project.

One of the protestors at Chahko Mika Mall, who chose to remain anonymous, said Enbridge should be held accountable for the environmental destruction the company has wrought.

“We have to ask the question: who’s the real eco-terrorist? I think the answer should be Enbridge.”

QUESTION

WebTalk Cougar encounter

OF THE WEEK Do you support the newly approved Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline?

So sad... on so many levels! Wow. Melanie Waterfall Wish I had one around to eat the cats.

Will Williams

To answer, go to nelsonstar.com

I’m glad to hear that the couple is okay. My condolences to them on the death of Max. As for the cougar, I’m sorry it died. When it charged at the homeowners, it unknowingly signed its own death warrant. The neighbour did the right thing.

Jessie Smit

LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:

Do your regularly purchase your produce from local markets?

Awww, poor kitty, but it happens.

Aisha Gatrell It always seems to happen that when humans and wildlife meet, wildlife loses. In this case, however, I don’t think there was any better outcome. The woman was in danger and the neighbour acted quickly. Happy ending for humans, sad for cougar.

Ontario election lessons for BC

iberal is becoming one of the most ill-defined words in Canadian politics. Here in BC, a Liberal is a Conservative, or at least a fiscal conservative, bent on balancing budgets and battling big unions to force them to recognize today’s world of low growth and low inflation.

In Ottawa, a Liberal is currently whatever Justin Trudeau wakes up and decides.

One day he’s a libertarian who wants to legalize marijuana, and the next he’s in touch with his inner Taliban, issuing a moral edict on abortion.

In Ontario, Premier Kathleen Wynne saved her gut-shot Liberal government by limping to the left of the NDP, promising to spend lots more borrowed money and build lots of transit.

This is in a have-not province with an operating deficit that is currently running north of $12 billion.

For comparison purposes, BC’s deficit swelled briefly beyond $3 billion in the wake of the Great Recession of 2009, and the books stayed in the red until last year as the BC Liberals unwound the Harmonized Sales Tax and repaid a $1.6 billion HST transfer allowance to Ottawa.

You think BC’s energy policy is a disaster? Check out Ontario, where the cops are still investigating the $1 billion cancellation of plans to construct two natural gasfired power plants before the 2011 election.

The gas plants were to stabilize erratic output from wind and solar power, a European-style climate change gesture that involved Ontario ratepayers giving a huge subsidy to Korean tech giant Samsung.

The Ontario Liberals clung to power in part by promising a provincial pension scheme on the same scale as the Canada Pension Plan.

BC has a similar pension program in the works, to be offered to the two thirds of small business and self-employed people who don’t have a group plan with their employer. Ours would, of course, be voluntary.

Not so in Ontario, where large and small businesses will be required to cough up half of the required pension payments.

The Ontario model is dumb on several levels. It is to be imposed just as the baby boom retirement wave breaks across Canada’s most populous province, increasing risk that the pension pool may run dry. And it sticks small business with a new payroll tax in a province that has lost much of its traditional manufacturing base and needs to innovate.

Here’s the funny part, if you don’t live in Ontario.

Wynne tabled her spending-spree, deficitbe-damned budget in an effort to convince the NDP to keep propping up the Liberal minority government and avoid an election.

Instead, she won a majority and now has to implement her pie-in-the-sky promises.

Reporters

Kevin Mills Editor

Ontario is bracing for a downgrade in its credit rating based on the election result, and is about to go into province-wide bargaining with public service unions who want their share from the Liberal money tree.

Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak ran on a plan that sounded similar to the one presented by Christy Clark in 2013: hold the line on spending, balance the budget, reduce the size of government, stimulate job creation.

Hudak was rejected for a second time, and resigned the leadership on election night. BC voters now have three years to see how the Ontario version of Liberal government plays out, compared to the BC Liberal version.

For us, much depends on resource development, including forest products, natural gas and other trade with Asia.

If all goes well here, BC can continue to send transfer payments to the fantasyland of Ontario.

HUGS: To those responsible for the “Osprey Cam.” Watching the progress of the eggs become chicks has been thrilling. Also, hugs to the Mamma osprey for taking such good care of her babies. We look forward to watching them grow.

SLUGS: To whoever vandalized the Search and Rescue truck. And double slugs to the person suggesting it was worse because Search and Rescue don’t do enforcement. That comment was a slap in the face to police everywhere.

HUGS: To all the people who enjoyed the lace corsets on the trees at Lakeside Park Saturday. — A yarn bomber SLUGS: To the person who removed the lace corsets from the lost and found at Lakeside Park after they were taken down by Maintenance on Sunday morning. I would like them back. — A yarn bomber HUGS: A giant hug to my father-in-law who is an example of the person many of us wish to be one day.

He has given a lot to our community by promoting a new vision of justice, and has given our family a lot to be proud of.

HUGS: Hugs to the kind girl who let my lab retriever drink water out of her dog’s dish at Pulpit Rock on Wednesday, June 11. It was my first time hiking this route and I was unprepared with only one bottle of water.

our gardens for their playgrounds and litter boxes at night. If that wasn’t bad enough we also have to cover our need seedlings so the cats don’t dig and destroy those too. Keep them home at night.

HUGS: Huge hugs to the nice man who helped my elderly father with his car. It’s nice to know that when you are in need of help, a stranger is willing to come to your rescue. A flat tire is a huge challenge when you are in your 70s. You, sir, deserve recognition. The people in Nelson rock.

HUGS: Hugs to the three teenagers — I think they were teenagers — who I saw picking up garbage at Lakeside Park. It’s refreshing to see young people taking such a proactive approach to helping our environment. You are a blessing and an inspiration.

SLUGS: Slugs to the truck driver who decided the best way to express his condemnation of our pipeline protest was to shout obscenities, speed by and honk his horn aggressively. Is this how we have rational debates in Canada? Why not take the time to have a conversation, rather than scaring women, children and concerned citizens who are worried about the future of our country? You must’ve felt pretty comfortable in your air-conditioned cab.

HUGS: I’d like to give a big hug out to all the tourists who are coming to our community. It’s wonderful to be able to share this special place with you.

Common name: Blue False Indigo Botanical Names: Baptisia australis

T

his week’s subject is a very interesting large perennial know as false or wild indigos. The intense blue flowers borne on impressive tall stems, are eye catching – not only to us, but also to our good friends the Bumblebees and other pollinators. They are native to central and southeastern United States. The Blue False Indigo was used by Native Americans and early settlers to produce a blue dye.

The botanical name Baptisia comes from the Greek word bapto, meaning to dip or

dye. These long lived, rugged plants are virtually pest and disease free and will grow in most soils in full sun. Their intense blue flowers, handsome foliage and intriguing seed pods provide a long season of interest.

False Indigos do get large – about 1 meter tall and just as wide – so be sure to give it enough room to grow. Seen in our nursery display beds at this time of the year, they always evoke a refrain of - Wow! What’s that plant?

Jobs are not the issue If the Northern Gateway approval is about supporting the Canadian economy, the public in this country are being hoodwinked.

The overall job story is that energy efficiency and renewable energy will provide more and higher paying jobs, with more diverse opportunities.

This is because $1 million dollars worth of oil and natural gas output directly creates 0.8 jobs, and $1 million invested in coal produces 1.9 jobs.

Compare that to building retrofits for energy efficiency (seven

jobs per million), mass transit services (11 jobs), building the smart grid (4.3), wind (4.6), solar (5.4), and biomass power generation (7.4).

The added benefit is that almost all of these jobs will take place in local communities instead of forcing workers to leave their families and homes to live in remote work camps with all the attendant social problems they cause.

Finally, jobs created in energy efficiency, mass transit, solar, wind, geothermal, biomass and

smart grid development will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and offer a brighter future for our children and grandchildren.

We have a planet to save. Scientists like Victoria’s own Dr. Andrew Weaver are telling us we need to move quickly toward an economy less reliant on fossil fuels.

Pipelines like the Enbridge Northern Gateway are not on the zero carbon economy map.

Can’t you control your cats!

Nelson Commons’ VERY High-Speed Internet Connectivity One question that comes up often with people talking about buying a residential unit at Nelson Commons is Internet connectivity. How will it all work? How fast will it all be? How reliable? If you live in Nelson, you know that our standard Internet service (regardless of which company is providing it) can leave a little to be desired. In thinking about your current service, you’d likely answer the three questions above with: not all that well, depends, and not very.

With the help of local company DHC Communications, Nelson Commons residents will enjoy the benefits of true, 1 GB high-speed Internet connectivity. This, thanks to a fibre optic “pipe” allowing for consistent high speeds and seamless enjoyment of Internet content like Netflix. Depending on how you choose to configure it, fibre optic connectivity also allows for television access and, using DHC’s local cloud, you can back-up all the data from your computer(s)—like photos, video, etc—for peace-of-mind.

Hello? Excuse me? Is anybody out there listening?

I mean, why is everybody out there sending pictures of felines in any of hundreds of cutsie poses to, supposedly, encourage or otherwise prompt people to support our SPCA? Do not mistake me. I am in full favour of and fully support our local SPCA. It is an important and necessary part of our, or anyone’s for that matter, city.

But why cats? There are dogs or squirrels or raccoons or foxes or bears or any one of a dozen other more deserving animals to choose from.

So why cats?

There are well over eight million cats out there already, and they are stalking and killing and murdering and maiming and decimating our birds.

We need our birds far more than we need any form of cats. Birds are an important part of our environment. They devour millions of annoying and harmful insects — every day. They help in the vital procedure of cross-pollinating flowers and crops. They are inspirational in dozens of ways to poets, and artists and writers and song singers and music composers. Not to mention scientists and industries — yes! Aviation for one. Birds inspired the Wright brothers to wonder what it must be like to fly. Et voila! Air Canada.

Cats, on the other hand, are just, well, cats.

Now, I am aware that I am going to be the object of endless persiflage about this topic from cat huggers. However, I am up to here with unsupervised, unowned and untrained specimens of Felidae domesticus.

Why is it not mandatory for cat owners, (I use the term lightly, as no one can “own” a cat!) to license their animal? (like dogs used to be). Why do owners not have to have them on a leash when their cats go for a walk? Even muzzled — like dogs?

And speaking of prowls, can cat owners not be held responsible for keeping their cat on and in their own back (or front, for that matter) yards?

Can you, if not teach, then supervise or otherwise impress upon him/her/it, that my Blackpress 2.833 x 3 back yard is off

Because there are already so many variables in determining speed, it’s difficult to quantify how much faster a fibre optic connection is than a “regular” one. It’s safe to say that it would be at least ten times faster than your current service and, in some cases, it would approach close to 40 times faster. In non-scientific terms, we’re comfortable saying that the speed and reliability of DHC fibre optic service will be a “heck” of a lot faster and better than what future Nelson Commons residents may now be living with.

Canadian Firearms Safety: Non Restricted

Cost: If anyone were interested in getting this kind of service in their house now, it would be next to impossible because of the construction and installation costs. In fact, fibre optic service isn’t even currently offered outside Nelson’s downtown core. Because Nelson Commons is a multi-tenant building, the monthly fibre optic fees are shared by all the units and the per-unit costs are way lower than for people in a single-family, stand-alone house. The facility/building fees are actually part of the strata fees talked about on the website (www.nelsoncommons.ca) . In other words, residents will be able to select an Internet package that’s right for them–same price as what you pay now–but with massive improvements. Win, win!

And especially that the green expanse in front and behind my house, known as a lawn, is not, repeat not, their private toilet nor am I their personal clean-up-after valet service.

How, you ask?

Well, firstly realize that, that little cutsie-wootsiecuddly-wuddly, oh so beguiling thing you just “can’t resist” will rapidly grow into various varieties of Felis horribilus and will need increasing amounts of nurturing, and food and feeding and veterinary services and exercising and care and supervision and your company.

You cannot just open the door and say, “OK out you go! Be sure you are back by morning before I have to go to work.”

And by all that is sane and sensible-have the darn thing spayed. If everyone who had one or two or more of the furry little beasts did that one thing, just think, there might come a day when Felis domesticus, sub species horribilus, might become extant, maybe even —oh, delicious delirium — extinct.

Winlaw-raised actor appears on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Giving a shout-out Locally-raised actor Pablo Schreiber gave a shout -out to Winlaw and Ymir during an appearance last week on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Schreiber, 36, grew up in the Slocan Valley and attended Mount Sentinel for a few years before finishing his schooling in Seattle.

He was nominated for a Tony Award for his performance as Ralph Berger in the Broadway production Awake and Sing! He also played Nick Sobotka on HBO’s The Wire and appears as Pablo Schreiber corrupt prison guard George (Pornstache) Mendez on the Netflix series Orange is the New Black. He has also been in several movies.

His half-brother Liev is also an actor who lived in Winlaw for four years in his youth.

This was part of the exchange on the program last week: Jimmy Kimmel: Where are you from?

Pablo Schreiber: I’m from British Columbia, Canada.

Kimmel: Where specifically?

Schreiber: From a little town called Winlaw, which only some of us can pronounce. I was born on a hippie commune, but my mom got sick of that and moved off when I was six months old. She wanted electricity …

Kimmel: You were born there and then moved to Winlaw?

Schreiber: Pretty much.

The hippie commune was in Ymir. This is all really abstract and nobody will APPROVED ever know it, unless they’re from these towns.

Schreiber went on to describe growing up without TV. You can see the whole interview at: bit.ly/1lzeDWw.

Nelson to mount its second operatic world premiere

Jorinda based on a fairy tale

Just three years after the premiere of its hugely successful commissioned opera, Khaos, the Amy Ferguson Institute (AFI) has announced it will now mount a second operatic world premiere by yet another Nelson-based composer.

“This opportunity to mount another new opera came as a complete surprise,” said AFI president Dianna Ducs. “We weren’t even aware that another composer of opera lived in Nelson when Doug Jamieson approached us with the offer of his new work, Jorinda... the AFI Board of Directors enthusiastically approved the committee’s recommendation that our production company, Nelson Community Opera, mount Jorinda in November 2015.”

A native of Ontario, Jamieson has been an associate composer of the Canadian Music Centre since 1984. He was awarded eight Ontario Arts Council commissions and two Canada Council commissions. He has scored music for nine films and videos and three theatrical productions.

Jorinda has been a long‐term project for Jamieson. The genesis of the work goes back to the 1980s when he wrote a story outline adapted from one of the Brothers Grimm fairy tales that he read to his children. He kept the story in mind, hoping to use it someday as the basis of a musical theatre work. He sketched out several sections in 1995 ­— writing both the music and libretto — and returned to it 10 years later to complete the first draft in 2007. In 2012, he made a demo recording of the complete work.

Jamieson and his wife, Elizabeth, recently moved to Nelson to be closer to their daughter and grandchildren. He quickly became involved in the local musical scene including serving as a director of Selkirk Pro Musica.

“When Elizabeth and I moved here we weren’t even aware Nelson had an opera company so I had no idea that Jorinda could be produced here,” Jamieson said. “It is ex-

The members of Drunk on Purpose and Dealer don’t take themselves too seriously.

During a Wednesday evening interview with the Star outside Kootenay Co-op radio, the guys messed around with a cardboard cutout of their absent band mate and brushed up on their air guitar skills while they smoked cigarettes and slugged cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon.

They were there to plug their upcoming show with legendary punk rockers D.O.A. at Spiritbar this Saturday. When asked what concert-goers can expect from their performances, they laughed.

“Headbanging?” said one.

“Drinking?” said another.

“Nothing too deep and meaningful, that’s for sure.”

According to the band, this pair of local acts, led by frontmen Jeff “The Killer” Siller and Mike Dealer, are part of a punk rock renaissance currently occurring in Nelson. Spiritbar is the largest venue they’ve played yet, and they say the scene is starting to make a comeback.

They’re hoping D.O.A’s show in town will continue to raise the profile of punk locally, and will draw out fans who might not otherwise make it to a show.

“They’re legendary,” Nelson from Nelson, who plays for DOP, said. “They’re godfathers

of west coast Canadian punk, along with NoMeansNo.” D.O.A originally approached Nelson, who works at Kootenay Co-op Radio, to play a show in the station’s basement. They decided they would need a larger venue.

While the guys slurped beer and took leisurely drags from cigarettes, they traded stories about D.O.A’s lead vocalist Joey Shithead. Many of their anecdotes were inappropriate for publication, but demonstrated their admiration for the frontman. His band’s participation will help them raise their profile in the punk scene.

“We’re going to be able to expose ourselves to a wider audience,” said Dealer. He describes their music as “high-grade, basically rock n’ roll, all the eggs in one basket kinda deal.”

And though DOP will be playing a few cover songs, he emphasized that all of Dealer’s

music is original. Their band’s name is an acronym for “Demonstrating Extremely Abusive Loud Electric Rock”.

The name for Drunk on Purpose is slightly more selfexplanatory.

“Usually the punk shows happen here, and now we’re playing at the biggest club in town, Spiritbar,” said Nelson.

“We’re all really excited.”

“We hearken to the hardcore stuff,” said DOP’s lead singer Jeff “The Killer” Siller. “So Black Flag, we played with Dayglo (Abortions). I listened to them when I was younger, tons of punk rock. I’ve been into it my whole life.”

Siller said his onstage persona may be startling to some.

“What can I say? You’re going to see me get wild,” he said.

The show is a co-production between Crank it to 6 Concert Series and On the Road Productions. Tickets are $15.

Art students host year-end sale

Kootenay Studio Arts (KSA) students are closing out their studies with a Nelson springtime tradition.

The annual year-end show and sale opens this afternoon at the Selkirk College downtown campus on the corner of Victoria and Josephine streets. The two-day student run show will feature works from students in the blacksmithing, ceramics, jewelry, metal casting and textiles programs.

“It’s their opportunity to present what they have been working on behind these

stone walls,” said Laura White, KSA jewelry instructor and school coordinator.

For the past two months students in the 10-month ceramics, jewelry and textiles programs have been working diligently on the studio production aspect of their studies.

They have created one or more lines for sale and will also put on display some of their more elaborate exhibition pieces. Students in the four-month blacksmithing and metal casting programs will feature work completed earlier this year.

“It’s their launching pad,” said White. “It’s important that they leave with not just the skills, but they will have experience doing studio production and putting it out there for sale.”

Going from studio to sales floor allows students to do direct market research. They can see what people pick up, how they respond to the pieces and take time to answer questions. The experience can be humbling Continued on Page 15

Rosemont Elementary performs The Snatchabook

Students create opera TAMARA hYnD Nelson Star

Rosemont Elementary School’s Opera started with a story – The Snatchabook chosen by kindergarten to Grade 5 students. Students wrote their own lyrics about a mysterious day when stories began to disappear. They sung their opera in costume in front of an audience on June 12 with the help of community members Heather Dean, Lorna Inkster, Scott Godin (composer), and Kathleen Neudorf (choral director), who helped them create the opera.

“The process has really been one of perseverance and flexibility,” said Rosemont Principal Kathy Speirs. “The students have been through a truly unique educational experience and have had a hand in an incredible collaborative, creative process.”

Rosemont Elementary students sang their own opera lyrics based on The Snatchabook where stories mysteriously begin to disappear.

and exhilarating all at once.

“For some students, these are their babies,” says White.

“Everything you make is a self-portrait, so it can be pretty personal.”

Though picking up a one-of-a-kind piece is encouraged, the year-end event is not all about sales. Students are looking forward to putting their creative efforts on display for appreciation and there will be plenty to see this weekend.

“Every year I’m impressed with what these students create in the 10 months they are here,” said White.

The show opens Friday at 3 p.m. and runs until 8 p.m. The second day of the show is Saturday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Dining out and eating light Dining out is a great way to experience new cuisine and enjoy a meal with family and friends. But dining out often leads to overeating, a problem that’s unhealthy year-round but especially inconvenient when warm air makes it more uncomfortable to deal with the side effects of overeating.

Though some restaurants offer large portions that can make it difficult to lighten things up when dining out in the summer, the following are a handful of ways diners can keep things light but still enjoy their favorite restaurants even when the mercury has risen.

Don’t be bashful — Some restaurants alter their menus in warmer weather to accommodate those customers who prefer lighter fare on hot nights. But even those that don’t make such alterations might be amenable to customers who request certain changes when dining out.

For example, ask your waiter if you can substitute vegetables in lieu of a side of potatoes or french fries, which tend to be heavier and harder to digest.

Don’t be afraid to ask for such substitutions or even ask that vegetable servings be doubled.

Don’t mistake low-carb for low-calorie — Just because a dish is heralded as “low-carb” does not necessarily mean it’s low in calories.

But salads are only as light as their ingredients allow them to be. If you want to keep things light and healthy, avoid adding too many ingredients to your salad.

Creamy dressings are often heavy, especially when paired with ingredients like bacon and cheese.

When adding ingredients to your salad, opt for lighter and healthier items like raw vegetables or even some fresh fruit.

Dining out when the weather warms up need not involve overeating.

A low-carb dish might seem like the perfect option on a warm summer night, but not if it’s laden with calories. Before ordering a low-carb dish, confirm if it’s also low in calories and low in fat. If not, look for a lighter option to avoid feeling too full after dinner.

Think inside the box — When ordering a large entree, you can be creative by asking your waiter to box half of your meal

before it even reaches the table.

This prevents you from overeating and makes it more likely that you will eat a meal that’s more in tune with a healthy serving size.

Don’t pile on your salad — Salads are a summertime staple for many people, who prefer salads because they’re delicious but not likely to produce any symptoms of overeating.

Rotisserie Chicken & Ribs, Steaks, Seafood, Pasta, Burgers and Homemade Desserts

153 Baker Street • 352-3525

Forgo the freebies — While many people consider complementary bread baskets one of the joys of dining out, such freebies also make meals more filling.

If you anticipate your meal taking a long time to make it to your table, ask the waiter to bring a plate of fresh fruit or vegetables in lieu of a bread basket or a bowl of chips or nachos.

This way you won’t starve while waiting for your meal, but also you won’t be filling up on heavy foods you might regret eating when you head back into the warm summer air.

Split dessert — Dessert might seem like the ideal way to cap off a delicious meal, but a decadent slice of chocolate cake or creamy helping of creme brulee only makes a meal more filling.

If you must indulge in dessert, split your dessert with a fellow diner so your last few bites of the night don’t make you feel uncomfortable when it’s time to leave the restaurant.

Forest industry Why did the kid go to the library? building blocks Check This Out – Anne DeGrace

Contributing to the common cultural good

Why did the chicken go to the library?

To check out a bawk bawk bawk!

Now that you’ve picked yourself up off the floor, there’s a reason for all this hilarity. The theme for this year’s Summer Reading Program is “Funny Business”, and our new summer student employees have been oiling up their funny bones.

The Summer Reading Club is all about summer activities, and reading logs for the happily bookish (Why is the library the tallest building? Because it has the most stories). This year’s theme celebrates both, with a twist of humour.

When I spoke to Hannah and Becca, they were busy planning activities for “That’s Gross” week. Kids who are registered for the Summer Reading Club that week can expect to make their own slime, or take part in a “gross trivia” game show.

“We’re trying to find all the ways to gross out the kids,” laughs Hannah, who has paradoxically nicknamed herself President of Happiness and Hugs. Eeew…gross!

Becca—AKA President of Bravery and Bubbles — is, like Hannah, happy to have a summer job — a little comic relief from the serious business of being a student. She’s heading into her fifth year of a BFA majoring in drama at the University of Lethbridge, where she’s been event coordinator for the Theatre Arts Society, among other things.

Becca and Hannah are up to some funny business all summer long at the Nelson Library.

Submitted photo Hannah “Huggs” Lunn is a full time student at UBC in the First Nations Studies program with the intention of taking the West Kootenay Teacher Education Program. She has a background in theatre, she’s travelled a ton, she’s helped build a house for a Honduran family, and she’s a certified yoga instructor.

Yoga Day is one of the special activities planned (really funny if you get stuck in your pretzel pose). Skateboarding is also in the works (watch your funny bone!) In fact, watch the website — www.nelsonlibrary. ca/kids — for all the funny stuff (and where the banana peels are all virtual).

Why did the librarian slip and fall on the library floor?

Because she was in the nonfriction section.

Ouch.

I love the sudden injection of youthful spirit, smarts, and creativity into our summer program. Watching Becca and Hannah plot — er, plan — a summer of funny business for kids aged three to 12, it’s clear they are both funny and fabulous.

Overseeing it all is Children’s Services Coordinator Nancy Radonich, an old dog with endless tricks who knows that outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend, but inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read (as told to her personally by Groucho Marx).

Registration for Summer Reading Club activities and Reading Log books begins June

23, online or in the library. And then the fun(ny) begins.

Mondays feature a Theatre Club for nine to 12 year olds from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesdays from 1 to 2 p.m. there’s hijinks for pre-schoolers aged three to five. Wednesdays there are two different sessions for the six to eight set. Thursdays offer special events for all ages (Groucho glasses optional), and Fridays are Lego drop-in for everyone. Fridays from 1 to 2 p.m. is Tweentime for nine to 12 year olds.

There are more details to come, and the website is a great way to get it all: nelsonlibrary. ca/kids and through our Facebook page (be our friend!)

It all kicks off July 3 with a party full of fun, funny, musical mayhem with Hugs, Bubbles, Mr. Mojo and a whole lot of kids ready to laugh all summer long.

Oh yeah, and learn cool stuff and read a few books, too.

Knock knock.

Who’s there?

Redda.

Redda who?

Read a lot of books this summer!

If you think your library is up to some funny business, well, you’d be right.

Selkirk College is joining the Community Forest Societies in Nakusp and Kaslo in helping foster solutions to pressing training needs in the region’s forest industry by partnering with stakeholders who have identified gaps.

At the end of May, logging contractors from many West Kootenay communities met in New Denver with Selkirk’s Community Education and Workplace Training staff, community forest managers and a BC Community Forest Association representative.

Stakeholders such as logging contractors, Interior Lumber Manufacturers Association, and the Interior Logging Association are all interested in filling labour gaps with specialized training. The meeting was the result of next steps identified at two community forest forums that were held in Nakusp and Kaslo earlier in the spring.

“At both forums, loggers and logging contractors identified the succession planning gap that currently exists as a result of the industry economic downturn and a need for industry training,” said Gregg Neelin, manager of Community Education and Workplace Training at Selkirk.

The loggers identified a number of key elements to a successful training program. They want to see a greater connection to the high schools, a “real world” look at the forestry industry, a laddered training program and keen participants.

“The earlier downturn in the industry resulted in a break in the historical succession planning cycle, where owner/operators of logging operations would generally train their children to take over the business,” said Nakusp and Area Community Forest manager Hugh Watt. “The training was hands-on and could take years to develop the necessary expertise in the field. Now, a new cycle needs to be created and logging contractors are keen to be part of the development process.”

The process now becomes one of external recruitment, rather than internal recruitment. In other words, the owner/operators want to hire people, train them and eventually have them take over the business. This is a big opportunity for youth in the area and a plan is being developed to share information with high schools. For information, contact the Kaslo or Nakusp college extension centres at 250-353-2618 (Kaslo) and 250-265-4077 (Nakusp).

Horse and rider have to work together in equestrian sport

Vaulting into the limelight

Malcolm McCutcheon

Nelson Star

It takes guts, determination, perseverance, and practice to carry out acrobatics on the back of a moving horse. The sport of vaulting combines all of these qualities and more, pushing athletes to new levels.

Attracting children as young as five-years-old, vaulting offers a unique experience while building a foundation of skills.

“Some people already have a dance or gymnastics background, but they happen to have a love for horses. They like doing things with other people and then it comes together for those

combined reasons,” said Naomi Weber, director of the Koot-Neigh Vaulting Club.

During the summer season Koot-Neigh flourishes with 24 vaulters offering outdoor lessons four days a week. Once winter begins the club moves their lessons indoors so their vaulters can train year round.

“I think that people are attracted to horses, performance, athleticism, and team. You need to be interested in all of those things for it to kind of gel with you,” said Weber on the sport.

Vaulters of any age who are new to the sport begin at walk, undertaking basic moves known

Vaulting combines the skills of horseback riding with the athletic agility of gymnastics.

as compulsories to build a foundation of skills.

After moving on to more challenging exercises vaulter’s then advance to the next gait which is a trot, where the horse moves faster and bouncier giving the rider more lift to manage and utilize.

“You can start working a bit more on harmony and the flight exercises, but at that level when you change gaits you go right down to the bottom of the difficulty scale so that you are rebuilding from what you did at walk,” said Weber.

After building their skill following the trot, vaulter’s move on to what is known as canter which is where the horse moves faster adding more centrifugal force and lift speed for acrobatics.

The competition season in vaulting begins in May and runs through October with events taking place in the Lower Mainland, Alberta, and Washington.

The Koot-Neigh Vaulting Club plans to attend roughly seven competitions throughout the outdoor season.

“Most of the competitions are offered at all levels so a beginner can go and compete and they are just competing against their level.

They will have lots of fun, achievement, and success,” said Weber.

Vaulter’s who train with the local club are not expected to compete in every competition.

Some participate in only a couple while others participate in the sport at a recreational level practicing, having fun, and taking part in demonstrations in the community.

Family Affair: Run by the duo of Weber and her daughter Korynn, Koot-Neigh Vaulting Club has been in business for eight years and offers therapeutic, recreational, and competitive vaulting.

The name Koot-Neigh is based on the aboriginal name of the region where the club exists, while the spelling gives the club a fun and unique name.

“When we moved from the coast here it was the sport that we had found that was working for our family, so we decided to start a club here,” said Weber.

Her daughter teaches and competes in vaulting and has just finished her first international competition in Chilliwack.

“For me the reward is seeing that she can give back and that she is coaching and supporting other people,” said Weber.

The sport of vaulting attracts riders ranging from five years old and up.

Malcolm McCutcheon photo

The therapeutic side of the club offers individuals with challenges such as cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis, and fetal alcohol syndrome the ability to work on mobility, flexibility, and strengthening of specific parts of their body.

“There’s all kinds of benefits

“Some people already have a dance or gymnastics background, but they happen to have a love for horses... then it comes together for those combined reasons.”

Naomi Weber working on your balance, core, and spatial awareness when you are on a moving animal,” said Weber.

The clients taking part in therapeutic training aren’t necessarily doing all of the tricks, but they sit and balance sideways and backwards while the horse is hand lead or on a line.

The horses in vaulting do not need to be of a special breed or

size; they just have to want to be with people and willing to try new things.

“The kind of horses you need for this sport need to be levelheaded, fit, sturdy, and they need to be kind hearted,” said Weber.

The horses are as involved in the challenging sport as their vaulters. At times they are required to maintain their pace, rhythm and balance while the vaulter hangs off their backside or sits on their neck.

“The horses are very much involved. They’re not just a surface.

They have to adjust constantly to the vaulter’s activities,” said Weber.

At Koot-Neigh, the horses are part of the family. In order to be well-rounded, happy and healthy athletes each horse spends a lot of time doing other activities such as hills, trails, dressage, and jumping.

For the first time, the club will be hosting their very own vaulting competition on August 16 highlighting vaulters from the area.

“The horses bring out qualities in people that sometimes other activities don’t. We found that time and time again with some of our vaulters that in other sports or activities they were shy or they were afraid, but now they’ll go that extra mile or have that extra motivation or enthusiasm to push through some of those challenges because they want to be with the horses,” said Weber.

Upcoming demonstrations for the club are on June 21 at the Pass Creek Grounds and July 6 at the Sunshine Bay Riding Grounds for Fun Days.

Notice of Passing

Bringing to you our weekly words.

oday, in the third of a four-part series on the reliability of the Bible’s manuscripts, we will look at the reliability of the original New Testament (‘NT’) writings. Both internal and external T factors provided the catalyst for the composition of the original NT Gospels and letters.

Internal factors began after Jesus’ death and resurrection when the early Church had only the Old Testament (‘OT’) as their Scriptures. The early church interpreted the OT through a new lens, that is through Jesus, the promised Messiah, the Son of God. The early Church also utilized the art of preaching to communicate the good news about Nelson Christian Science Society God’s love for everyone. As the years passed by, it became A Branch of the Mother Church in Boston MA apparent for the need for this new interpretation – Sunday Service in Balfour including Jesus’s sayings – to be documented. These NT 9:30 am at the Anglican Church on Busk Rd. authors came from two groups: 1) Jesus’ closest followers, For information 250-229-5237 and 2) individuals who had direct contact with His followers (read Luke 1:1-4!).

Therefore, the NT’s original authors were those who knew and walked with Jesus, or others who had direct contact with His closest followers.

The original writings were reliable and trustworthy accounts of Jesus’ identity and works.

But, how reliable are the manuscripts (copies of the original writings) that are available to scholars today? This will be the focus of next week’s instalment.

Neptunes take fifth

Malcolm McCutcheon Nelson Star

The Nelson Neptunes took fifth place overall in the team standings after a solid showing in their third meet of the season.

The meet, hosted by the Trail Stingrays, had a different design than any other meet the Neptunes will participate in this season.

The first meet took place in the morning and was considered to be the preliminaries where the swimmers would advance to compete in the finals later in the day if they placed in the top eight of their age group.

“Although it wasn’t our best placing this year, the format of the meet was new to the Neptunes as we did not have a season last year,” said Neptunes assistant coach Rebecca Afford.

A number of Neptunes had a stellar weekend putting up meet records and taking top spot in a number of races.

Cameron Bibby-Fox was picked to represent the Neptunes for the Male Australian start 50-meter freestyle race taking first place. For the girls Chloe Malefant was selected for the same race taking third. Meet records went to Riley Andrusak for her swims in the 25-meter backstroke and 25-meter freestyle.

Aggregate medals went to Jaylen Rushton who took the silver medal representing the division two girls. For the division five girls Nava Sachs won bronze.

The next swim meet for the Neptunes will be in 2.833 Creston on June 21 and 22.x 5”

Nancy Chernoff July 29, 1935 May 18, 2014 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Nancy Chernoff, a long-time resident of Salmo. Nancy passed away at the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital on May 18, 2014. She fought a long courageous battle with cancer. Nancy was born in Verigin, Saskatchewan on July 29, 1935.

Nancyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family moved to the Kootenayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in 1941. She graduated in 1954 from Nelson High School and later married Peter Chernoff. The couple settled in Salmo where they raised their two children.

Marion passed away peacefully at Mountain Lake Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Community on Wednesday, May 21st after a lengthy illness. She was born in Fernie, B.C. on October 22, 1918 to Rosina and John Vecchio. In 1937 she moved to Nelson with her family. She married Joseph Maglio on October 5, 1938 and together they raised three boys and operated the Hillside Dairy until it closed in the early 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

She was a talented woman who busied herself in many crafts and activities but her favorites were baking, cooking, crocheting, knitting and sewing. She sold many of her creations at Christmas Craft Fairs. In her spare time, she volunteered at various charities including the I.O.D.E Thrift Shop.

Marion is survived by her sons Mel (Judy) and Bob, grandsons, Darin (Meg), Stephen (Rachelle), and Graham (Tara) as well as four great grandsons, Nicholas, Seth, Quinn and Evan. She is also survived by her sisters, Sue Gelinas and Eleonor (Jack) Chambers and brother Jim (Madge) Vecchio along with numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Joseph in 1996 and son Michael in 2001 as well as her brothers Bat and Joe Vecchio.

Our family would like to thank Dr. Trevor Janz and all the staff at Mountain Lake Seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Community especially those in the Alpine and Evergreen Cottages for the wonderful care she received during her stay..

A Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, June 21, 2014 at 10:30 AM at the Cathedral of Mary Immaculate with Father Conrado Beloso as celebrant. Interment will take place at the Nelson Memorial Cemetery. In Lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of B.C., 809 Davies Street, Nelson, B.C., V1L 3T6 or the charity of your choice.

Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Thompson Funeral Services Ltd..

Online condolences may be expressed at www.thompsonsfs.ca

She was an avid gardener and also enjoyed sewing, knitting and everyone enjoyed her baking. Nancy volunteered in childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities and was a Salmo Newsletter volunteer. Her greatest joy was her family, which she showed in so many wonderful ways.

Nancy was predeceased by her husband Peter Chernoff, her mother Mary Hlookoff, her father Mike Chernoff, and her step-father Peter Hlookoff.

She is survived by her son Mark Chernoff, her daughter Zenda (Robert) Frame, her grandchildren; Ryan and Trevor, her brother Allen Hlookoff, and her sisterin-law â&#x20AC;&#x153;sisterâ&#x20AC;? Elizabeth Konkin.

The family wishes to express their gratitude for all the care and support that was given to Nancy. Special thanks to her â&#x20AC;&#x153;sistersâ&#x20AC;? Liz Konkin, Norma Waterstreet and Joan Field for helping in so many ways. Thank you so much to Dr. Scotland and the amazing staff in Oncology. Nancy called them her â&#x20AC;&#x153;second familyâ&#x20AC;?.

Also thank you so much to the wonderful doctors and staff at the Salmo Medical Clinic.

By Nancyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, there will not be a service. Al Grywacheski of Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Servicesâ&#x201E;˘ has been entrusted with arrangements.

Church tours to begin

St. Saviour’s Anglican Pro-Cathedral in Nelson is again throwing open its doors for its fourth annual tour year.

St. Saviour’s, located at the corner of Silica and Ward Streets, is a bylaw designated heritage church built in 1898 and rebuilt in 1929, after a disastrous fire.

In addition to carved wood architectural highlights, the church contains numerous memorial stained glass windows and plaques.

The stained glass windows are unique and collectively the best example of church stained glass in the Kootenay.

A 32-page full colour guidebook to these stained glass windows is offered for sale. Also open for view is the recent expansion which has enabled the church to greater serve its parishioners and the wider community.

The church is open for tours from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Tuesday to Saturday inclusive, beginning July 2 and continuing during the months of July and August.

Volunteer tour guides will be in attendance to answer questions and the tours are free, though donations are gratefully accepted.

The church is also open Sundays for regular service at 10:30 a.m.

One day registration offer for Glacier Challenge

Ride to support MS research Are you ready for summer?

On June 21, for one day only, the West Kootenay Chapter of the MS Society is offering a summer solstice registration fee of $21 to sign up for The Scotia Bank MS Bike West Kootenay Glacier Challenge.

The Glacier Challenge happens August 16 and 17. Current registration costs $45 and will go up again on July 1. Registration can be done online at www.westkootenayglacierchallenge.ca.

The two day ride starts in New Denver through Slocan with an overnight in Nelson, including a dinner and celebration at Lakeside Park.

The second day of the ride begins in Nelson, goes through Kaslo and the ride continues back to New Denver. Along the way, riders loop around the Kokanee Glacier through the Selkirk Mountains.

Lunch and refreshments are provided both days, as well as encouragement from volunteers along the route.

This ride benefits the West Kootenay chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society, with funds going toward providing much needed programs and services for local residents with MS as well as national research to help end multiple sclerosis.

The 222-kilometre bike tour is a chance to challenge yourself, raise money and awareness for multiple sclerosis and have some fun. You can ride individually, as part of a two-person relay, or as a team.

This is the third year that the West Kootenay chapter of the MS Society has held this event, and this year the society is hoping to reach its goal of signing up more than 100 participants.
