Haunted houses creep to life
Barbie Wheaton
Trick or treaters beware … Karen and Bruce Walgren and their daughter Lauren have transformed their 1716 Stanley St. home (seen at left) into a haunted house with skeletons dancing the tango in a graveyard, under a tree full of dangling jack-o’-lanterns, while witches brew spells nearby in the cavernous garage. The Walgrens welcome those who dare to bring a food item or coins to place into a large cauldron guarded by a cackling coven of witches (below). All donations go to the Nelson Food Cupboard. Ginny and Kevin McClelland in the 500 block of Observatory St. have teamed up with their Stanley St. neighbours and have gone all out with an elaborate graveyard theme, complete with a gigantic spider climbing its web.

Officer convicted of assault gets house arrest
BILL METCALFE Nelson Star A Nelson police constable convicted of assault has been sentenced to 30 days house arrest and one year of probation. Cst. Drew Turner was convicted in September of assaulting Tawny Campbell in May 2014. The incident led to a trial in which it was revealed Turner, while off-duty and backing up a fellow officer, punched Campbell in the face, knocking her unconscious. Three fellow officers testified against him. During the 30-day conditional sentence (house arrest) period, Turner must: • report regularly to a supervisor,
HAPPY NEW YEAR! In-store Specials!
• remain at his current address, • not change his address or phone number without permission, • not contact Campbell directly or indirectly or her mother and not go to their residence, school or workplace, • remain in his home at all times unless with permission of the supervisor, except for a medical emergency or to meet basic needs between 2 and 4 p.m. each day. Similar conditions apply during the probation period. Turner must also attend counselling as directed by his probation officer. It was reported in court that Turner has been attending counselling since
December 2014. Prosecutor Debra Drissell asked that Turner provide a DNA sample and be prohibited from owning firearms, but Judge Richard Hewson declined those requests saying Turner is not a danger to society.
Range of possible sentences Possible sentences for a summary conviction assault, according to the Criminal Code, range from absolute discharge to a $5,000 fine and/or six months in jail. Based on the legal submissions of Drissell and defence lawyer John Green,
Hewson’s sentence is within the range of sentences typically given in Canada to similar offenders committing similar offences in similar circumstances. In her submission, Drissell asked for 14 to 30 days in jail, followed by 12 months probation. Green asked for a discharge.
Character references and apology
Hewson said he was presented with a number of character references for Turner from people in the community. Continued on page 5

Anton Zanesco creates painted panels to decorate tennis court wall at Nelson middle school
Will Johnson Nelson Star The crumbling tennis court wall near the entrance of Trafalgar Middle School will soon be adorned with ten gorgeously painted panels courtesy of Kimberley painter Anton Zanesco — a service he’s providing for free. “I wanted to get out of the studio and I wanted a big wall,” Zanesco told the Star, midway through completing the project. “I said to myself ‘this school needs some life’.” That’s when he contacted principal Carol-Ann Leidloff, who enthusiastically took him up on his offer. They discussed a variety of options before settling on removable panels. “In case a repair needs to be done on the wall, these can be taken down,” he said. “You can install it anywhere else, in portions if need be.” The centrepiece of the project is a familiar image of the big orange bridge, but from there Zanesco takes the viewer out into the wilderness and down into the depths of the ocean. His paintings include plentiful wildlife, with wolves, bears, dolphins and whales all appearing. “There are some abstract elements in there too. I don’t want it to look like a photograph, but I don’t want it to look like a bad painting either. It needs to have some funky aspect. I want you to see the brush strokes.” That means one painting features a moose free-floating over an orange blob amid a forest landscape. When asked why he chose to

Will Johnson photo tackle such an ambitious project pro bono, Zanesco said “for me it’s about the satisfaction of service.” “The other day a young guy came up to me and said ‘hey dude, you’re good with the paint.’ It was hilarious. And another guy walked up and said ‘hey man, you’re not an artist — you’re a soldier, man.’” Zanesco said he was inspired by large-scale public art projects undertaken in Eastern Europe and Asia after the Iron Curtain fell. “The Communist cities were grey to grey to grey. Nothing but grey. It was known that people walked with their heads down they were so depressed,” he said.

Will Johnson Nelson Star The Kootenay Lake school district may take a $705,000 hit this year due to declining enrollment because they’re just shy of qualifying for funding protection, according to secretary-treasurer Kim Morris. “The shortened version is we have less money because of lower enrolment,” Morris informed the board Tuesday. “Don’t panic.” Schools receive funding protection when their enrollment drops by 1.5 per cent or more, but the Kootenay Lake school district’s rate is hovering around 1.4 per cent. There will be a recount by the Ministry of Education and this decision has not been finalized, but it should be confirmed by Nov. 6. Last year, the district had 4,702.65 fulltime equivalent students. They projected a drop this year to 4,640, a decline of 62. In fact, as of Sept. 30, they had 4,654.75, about a dozen more than expected — it’s this discrepancy that bumped them below the funding protection cut-off. This news comes on the heels of controversy surrounding an announced $2.3 million surplus left over from last year, most of which has been earmarked or re-appropriated for specific uses, such as projects that have been carried over from previous years. The teachers’ associations have made it clear they want some of these funds to go towards staffing. Superintendent Jeff Jones

told the Star it’s not necessarily that simple. “Administration has been recommending from the very beginning that if there’s a surplus, we could use that for teaching and staffing time,” he said.

Jones said funneling money one direction means taking it from elsewhere. That’s why he’s attempting to be as “transparent” and “inclusive” as possible by inviting members of the community, parents, teachers, stakeholders and senior administration to discuss their options at the next board meeting on Nov. 10 at the Nelson office. “We’ll hear from everyone,” he said.

according to bylaw officers
BILL METCALFE Nelson Star The change in Nelson’s dog bylaw has been a success, according to one of the people responsible for enforcing it. “We have enjoyed it,” bylaw officer Fred Thomson told city council on Monday night. “Tourists and locals say they like it. They say they are glad Nelson changed the bylaw. We felt it was a success and we would like to see it continue.” In February, council rescinded the longstanding bylaw that prohibited dogs in the downtown core, replacing it with one that levies fines on people whose dogs are unattended, not on leash, or not cleaned up after. “We did not have to take the grief we have taken in past years,” Thomson said. “It is tough to tell someone their dog can’t be downtown. Even if you are as nice as you can possibly be, a dog is a family member.” Thomson said from May to the present, bylaw officers have had 428 interactions with people regarding their dogs, compared with 546 in the same period last year. The interactions were about dogs tied up, not on a leash, or left in a car, as well as general

ing the bag dispensers helps. We could always use more dispensers.” He said the main problem now is people tying up their dogs. “If it’s in an outdoor restaurant, we have to interrupt them in the middle of lunch, but they are mostly pretty good,” Thomson said. He suggested restaurants and outdoor cafes should post signs asking people not to tie up their dogs. Thomson said it has always been assumed the dog ban originated with transients and their dogs, “but those people only here temporarily have been as respectful as everybody else.” Thomson said his department has dog leashes to give tourists who need them and gave out 25 this summer. “We hand out lots of leashes,” he said. “It’s magic.” Mayor Deb Kozak said she has received only one or two negative comments about the bylaw change. “I would like to thank the bylaw officers for their leadership in this area,” she said. “Council reformed the bylaw on their recommendation. And I commend the store owners too. It has worked out really well.”

Turner wrote a letter of apology to Campbell last month Drissell said the letter was too little too late, and that up to that point Turner had shown no evidence of remorse. Hewson, however, said he would accept the apology at face value. The judge said police officers have a high standard to uphold. “Police officers are the visible representation of the rule of law in the community,” he said. “We teach our children to go to them if they need help. We give them a status commensurate with their importance. When a police officer breaches the public trust and engages in an illegal activity, even if off duty, it undermines the public confidence in the police and the rule of law.” Hewson said mitigating circumstances in the matter were that Turner acted in the heat of the moment in a chaotic situation, is recognized by many people as a good citizen and family member, faces the loss of his job, and has suffered a loss of reputation in the community. Explaining why he was giving a conditional sentence rather than jail time, Hewson cited Turner’s strong relationship with his family and friends who will support him, his stable residence in the community, and his apology letter.
The chief ’s response In a news release, Nelson police chief Wayne Holland responded to the sentence. “On Sept. 1, I respectfully accepted Judge Richard Hewson’s finding of guilt against this officer and today, I acknowledge the sentence imposed.

“The incident in question has been extremely stressful for everyone in our community. I am mindful of the public’s interest and desire for this enquiry to come to a timely conclusion and for me to ensure that a fair and appropriate outcome is achieved.” Turner has been on desk duty since he was charged. It’s uncertain whether he’ll be able to keep his job because another investigation is still to be completed by the Office of the Police Complaints Commission, an internal police investigation and discipline body.
Outside investigator Holland originally reported the incident in May 2014 to the complaints commissioner, who in turn asked the professional standards branch of the Vancouver Police Department to conduct an investigation to see if Turner had violated the Police Act. At some point in their investigation, the Vancouver police decided an assault charge would be appropriate and referred the case to Crown counsel, who agreed. At that point the complaints commissioner’s investigation was suspended until after

the conclusion of the criminal matter. That matter is complete as of sentencing Tuesday, so the complaint commissioner’s process will now resume. Its process is so confidential that it isn’t known exactly what the issues are or how long it will take. According to Holland, the complaints commissioner will eventually reach some conclusions and recommendations, but when it comes to actual disciplinary measures, the matter comes home to Nelson because the designated discipline authority is the local police chief. Holland can pass that authority on to someone else, however, and that may happen in this case because Holland is retiring in January.
to comment on either the Police Act or criminal court processes. Nor am I able, at this time, to draw any final conclusions with regard to the eventual resolution of this matter or this member’s future with the Nelson police.” Holland told the Star if the discipline authority comes to a decision and the accused doesn’t accept the decision, the office of the complaints commissioner must hold a disciplinary hearing, presided over by the discipline authority. The accused person pleads his case, and the discipline authority decides whether to change the decision. If dismissal is recommended, the local police board (the employer of the officers) has to agree.
The range of discipline
City paid Turner’s legal bill
Internal discipline for officer misconduct can be anything from mild reprimand to dismissal. Whatever discipline is decided by the discipline authority, the police complaints commissioner has to agree with it. “Until I have received and reviewed all of the available material pertaining to this file,” Holland wrote in his release, “it would be inappropriate for me
Turner’s legal fees will be paid by the local police board — in effect, by the City of Nelson. This is not automatic: the Police Act states that a municipal police board may pay the fees if it chooses to, which in this case it did. According to Holland, the police board could attempt to recoup the fees from Turner at a later date if it wishes to. The total bill is as yet unknown.

Common name: San Jose Holly Botanical Names: Ilex x aquipernyi ‘San Jose’ Known for its abundant, beautiful red berries and glossy evergreen leaves, San Jose holly is a hybrid whose ancestry includes English Holly (Ilex aquifolium). San Jose Holly, unlike its rather invasive English cousin, has sterile berries, so is a much better choice for our landscape! It is a large evergreen shrub that provides year round interest with its handsome foliage and showy fall and winter fruit. Narrow and conical in habit, it has shiny, rich green, diamond shaped leaves, with small yellowish female flowers that appear in the spring. It will need pollen from a male variety to
then produce the lustrous red berries that we associate with winter and of course the Christmas season. It grows equally well in sun or part shade; make sure the soil is well drained, fertile and slightly acidic. Many other cultivars are available such as: San Gabriel Holly, Japanese Ink Berry as well as some beautiful cream or gold variegated forms. Be careful to keep the berries out of reach of pets and children, birds will feed on them after the first frosts of the season and will provide them with a good source of winter food.

Concerned about decreasing water reserves We’ve been meeting due to our concerns regarding increasing drought, fires and storms this year, and the implications these have for our communities. Nelson is on Stage 4 water restrictions with the lowest water reserves on record. Nelson’s firefighting actions may find themselves in conflict with domestic water-supply needs. In rural areas people on wells, springs or creeks are experiencing decreased water levels. Our fall continues to be unusually warm and dry, and predictions are for low precipitation this winter and therefore even less runoff to fill our reservoirs during spring and summer. For some, the current conditions may be perceived as short-term isolated events and therefore their concern may disappear with the first rainfall. Many of us know little about the source of our water, that water is actually a shared and limited resource, how much water we use daily, or why alternative systems are expensive. For those following climate change predictions, these current issues are seen in the context of the impacts of fossil fuel use on our atmosphere and are consistent with scientific models and projects that indicate the situation is going to get much worse. Many are taking a hard look at the long-term implications on food growing, fisheries, forest practices, dam regulations and economic priorities. West Kootenay has long been known for its resilience and cooperation, demonstrating our capacity to learn to live together in changing conditions. These capacities are greatly enhanced if information is easily available and collaborative engagement is fostered. We ask that all levels of government gather and share information, and create forums for community and industry dialogues so we all can take action personally and collectively in response to this “new normal.” There are many actions we can take as individuals, such as water conservation practices and retrofits. Collectively we can request policies regarding building codes that ensure conservation and efficiency. Globally we can be active in understanding the link between our current fire and drought conditions and the need to support low carbon emission targets and a green economy. We are planning a community forum to discuss our current water resources, methods of being water stewards, and connections to climate change. The

Climate Lobby supports Trudeau’s commitments Congratulations to prime ministerdesignate Justin Trudeau on forming a new government! Of his many commitments during the campaign, we are especially concerned about and support those dealing with climate change. We agree with the statement on the Liberal Party website that: “Climate change is an immediate and significant threat to our communities and our economy.” We hasten to add that the science also says that the GHGs that are “in the pipe” — that is those we emitted yesterday and those we are emitting today — will have a significant incremental threat to our communities and economy in the future. The additional emissions expected tomorrow will make things worse and could be catastrophic if we do not act quickly to reduce those emissions. Current reduction commitments or Intended National Determined Contributions made in preparation for the Paris meetings are insufficient to hold GHG emissions below 450 ppm, the limit scientists confirm is necessary to

umbo Wild is a film that goes to great extents to balance the opposing ideologies around Jumbo Glacier Resort. For anyone who has never seen or heard architect and developer Oberto Oberti speak, the amount of screen time dedicated to his dream of building this high altitude glacier resort in the Purcell Mountains will certainly fill in the blanks. His comments and clips span the entire movie and during a Q&A after a recent screening, the filmmaker explained he spent a large amount of time with Oberti, over dinner, in vehicles, at the top of Glacier Dome. His conclusion, which garnered respectful applause from a mostly anti-Jumbo crowd, was: “I can honestly say that he is not a bad person. It’s just a different set of values, a different value system.” Jumbo Wild aptly conveys Oberti’s reverence for the mountains, his passion for their strength and magnificence. But what the film also reveals, in an utterly profound way, is how his reverence, a spiritual connection to Earth, similar to that shared by Jumbo resort protesters and the Ktunaxa First Nation, is expressed in a way that demonstrates deeply enshrined European values, dating back to when great cathedrals were built across the European Empire in expression of man’s quest to connect with God — the opposite of 4,000 generations of Ktunaxa who cared for their land without ever leaving a permanent footprint (also a story told by the film), who consider the proposed resort — said by Oberti to be his personal “masterpiece” — an affront to an entire ancient civilization. Cathedrals are mountains, Oberti says in the film. His opponents believe the mountains

If, as Trudeau suggests in the Liberal platform, Canada is to repair its international reputation and become a leader on the world stage, it needs to lead by example at home. Canada needs to have deeper GHG reduction targets than those offered by the previous government and an earlier time frame. Citizens’ Climate Lobby supports Trudeau’s commitment to have a plan to deliver those deeper and earlier emissions targets, including measurable objectives, doable plans that deliver those objectives and a strong program of carbon pricing (which is also supported by the IMF and World Bank) — all with an effective monitoring system. We favour an incrementally rising national price on carbon. Specifically carbon fee-and-dividend can reduce GHG emissions while creating jobs and protecting the poor and middle class during our transition to a decarbonized economy. Carbon fee-and-dividend can make what might be perceived as a challenging transition a positive change that will directly benefit middle and low income earners.

TRIGG
Trigger Point are cathedrals. Do we need Europe all over again, asks Nolan Rad, who has spent his whole life trapping and hunting in Jumbo valley, who has seen as many as eight grizzly bears at once in the valley when evidence supplied by the resort’s proponents claims there are none. Europeans come here because the mountains in Europe have all been tamed by architecture, says Rad. Building the resort is about not losing to the protesters, Grant Costello tells the camera. One man’s dream, another man’s fight, a nation’s heritage. Will European-style architecture reign supreme over what many consider to be a final frontier of Canadian wilderness? While the film paints both sides and leaves it to the viewer to pick one — to tame or not to tame the Jumbo Valley — the Patagonia-supported Jumbo Wild petition displayed at the end leaves no doubt as to where the inspiration came from when making it.

WAY N E G E R M A I N E Serving Nelson & Area Since 1987. HUGS: To fair Mother Nature for her resplendent display in West Kootenay this month. SLUGS: To this newspaper for not having a sudoku puzzle in the last three Wednesday papers. I hope you will reinstate it or the “slug” will get real slimy. – A sudoku addict SLUGS: To the inconsiderate skateboarders who on the first day the “bear bench” at City Hall was placed, just HAD TO scar it with your ignorance. Now two concrete posts block its beauty. Grow up. HUGS: Thanks in advance to the folks giving out treats who don’t ask my super tall 13 year old “how come you’re out trick or treating?!” She came home in tears last year. Just give her a candy and send her on her way with her friends. SLUGS: To the businesses that do not put away their sandwich boards when closed. Permits say sandwich board signs are to be removed from city property when businesses are closed. Slugs to the city for no ENFORCEMENT of the rules. HUGS: Many hugs to the lady who found my camera in the middle of the road after it fell off my car and posted a notice on our telephone pole. I did not know I had lost it till I saw the notice. It’s a long story, but thanks a lot. – Grateful gramma HUGS: To the first responder paramedics and volunteers who treated my husband in the middle of the night July 30 near Kaslo. All were most professional and expertly trained, giving the best care. Nice to know that such help is at hand. – Out-of-province travellers
“When you’re ready, I would love to sell your home!”
SLUGS: To the RDCK for not leaving the new recycling bins unlocked so that blue bags can still be used. Extra slugs to RDCK residents who are leaving full blue bags in front of the bins or choosing to throw the bags in the garbage bins at the transfer station. A better transition period is needed.

HUGS: To the app developer who comes up with an app that turns off your car’s ignition if you are parked there idling while playing with your phone. Thirty seconds soon becomes two minutes, becomes five, and all the while the engine is pumping exhaust into the air we all breathe. Please turn your car OFF when not moving. HUGS: To the woman who will hopefully return my DKNY black trench coat she accidentally took from Winefest. Great sentimental value – it was the last gift my late mother gave to me. Please bring it to the front desk at the Adventure Hotel where you can exchange it for the Old Navy black peacoat you left for me to wear home. We are human, we make mistakes. SLUGS: To the vehicle who hit a beautiful white husky cross near the Welcome to Nelson sign on Highway 3A West sign on Monday night and bigger slugs to the driver who left the scene. The owner was looking for his dog and the poor husky laid suffering against the guard rail. My son and I stopped to assist and offer a little compassion. The dog was taken to the vet to hopefully repair its broken leg. You also left particles of your vehicle littered on the highway. Shame on you for not having an ounce of decency to stop. It wasn’t your fault but the fact that you drove away is unfathomable. Hugs to the sweet husky girl! I hope you made it, buddy, to play catch on a green field, not the highway.
If you have a Hug or a Slug... we’d like to hear it. Simply email us at editor@nelsonstar.com with your short quips, compliments or complaints.

Kurt Sorge triumphs at Red Bull Rampage Dropping 50-foot cliffs is a normal part of the Nelson mountain biker’s routine
TAMARA HYND Nelson Star “If anybody says they have no fear, at least a little, they are lying.” That’s how professional mountain biker and Nelsonite Kurt Sorge described the moments before dropping into his winning freeride mountain biking run at the 10th edition of the Red Bull Rampage in Virgin, Utah this month. For Sorge, a professional rider since he was 16, the win was a surprise with a dose of redemption. “I couldn’t really ask for a better outcome,” he said, adding that he was happy to prove himself at what he calls “hands down the biggest event of the year” for him after being injured and counted out for the last two years. After his 2012 win at the same event, two consecutive broken legs weeks prior to the 2013 and 2014 Rampage kept him out of the competition. With an incredible first run down the mountain, Sorge, 26, cemented his spot in freeride mountain biking history. Sorge was forthright about the challenges of competing in a high-consequence sport. “It’s pretty nerve-racking at the top with a helicopter buzzing [filming],” he said. “Your friends are going down and crashing. That’s the worst part, watching other riders crash.” But he tries to block it out, rely on experience and “try to remember what to do” as he descends.
Nelson’s Kurt Sorge (centre), with Graham Agassiz of Kamloops, and Andreu Lacondeguy of Spain on the podium at the Red Bull Rampage 2015 this month in Virgin, Utah. Sorge is seen in action at right. Photos courtesy Red Bull He approaches the run “on shred mode” which began with a 30-foot (9 m) cliff drop to a chute landing, into a bench that soon led into a larger drop on an exposed ridge line. Sorge explained he overshot a planned 40 to 50 foot (12 to 15 m) drop, turning it into 60 to 70 feet (18 to 21 m). With a descent time under three minutes, riders are judged on line choice, amplitude, tricks, style and flow and overall performance. “I try to find the line with difficulty — as
many jumps as possible, get some speed, some style,” Sorge said. The result was the record breaking score
of 96.50, although he humbly points out the difference between first and second was “super, super close.” On the podium with Sorge was defending champion Andreu Lacondeguy of Spain, coming in with 95.75, and Graham Agassiz of Kamloops rounding it out in third. They were among 21 of the world’s top riders competing in the premier freeride mountain bike competition as hundreds of thousands of fans across the globe tuned in to watch online. Sorge’s win earned him a $30,000 purse, a small amount compared the risk. And he didn’t do it alone. Riders are given a mountain and one week to create their line and choreograph their run, complete with large ramps for the massive airs and jumps, dug into the red earth with hand tools. Sorge brought a team of three diggers from Nelson, Alex Volokhov, Chris (The Dude) Woikin, and Dave Santonave, to create the run, along with team manager Rob Dunnet. “They give you a mountain and one week to slave away for hours every day picking and building your line,” said Sorge, adding they haul their own water and buy their own tools. He’s been training to overcome his consecutive injuries. He said it’s hard to pick a favourite local trail as there is so much to choose from, but points to the trails at Kokanee Creek Provincial Park as ones he rides often. As well he has co-organized Hoffest at Retallack for the second year, which is part of FEST, a series of rider-driven freeride mountain bike events. They take pride in the event’s highquality courses. “It really prepares us for Rampage,” Sorge said. “It helps grow the sport in the right direction and [promotes] longevity in the action sports world.”
Nelson boxers win in Cranbrook
Submitted to the Nelson Star Nelson Boxing Club had a great night in Cranbrook on Saturday at the annual Charity Challenge put on by the Cranbrook Eagles Boxing Club. Clubs from BC, Alberta, and Washington state all attended. Nelson took two boxers, Jeff Emmett, 40, and Elias Martinez 11, and both came back with wins. Emmett fought Jonathan Casey of Southpaw Boxing Club in Calgary. He used his jab and sharp boxing to break down Casey and stop him halfway through the second round. Martinez fought Edyn Barber of Cranbrook Boxing Club. He boxed beautifully, evading Barber’s big right hands, and used his footwork and combination punching to win a clear unanimous decision against the hometown fighter. Cranbrook Boxing Club puts on the Charity Challenge every year to raise money for needy families in the Cranbrook area. This year they raised $30,000. “It is great to see boxing having such a positive impact on the com-

munity,” wrote coach Jesse Pineiro. “I am really proud of our boxers. They work hard every day to excel at one of the most difficult sports in the world. They conducted them-
selves like champions in and out of the ring on Saturday, showing skill, and acting with class and respect at all times. It is a privilege to coach them.”

He won the BC club championship’s three kilometre race in Nanaimo to go along with winning performances he registered in Boise and Spokane earlier in the season.

Bombers win Mount Sentinel tournament
Submitted to the Nelson Star The L.V. Rogers Bombers junior girls volleyball team strung together an undefeated streak to capture the Mount Sentinel Junior Girls Invitational tournament on Saturday afternoon. The Bombers needed a come-from-behind effort over J.L Crowe in the tournament final to clinch the title. In a spirited opening game of the match, the LVR team fell behind early and despite a strong comeback late in the game fell short 25-23 in the best-of-three. A back and forth second game saw LVR setter Hanna Quinn serve for the game which went to the Bombers 27-25. “The girls seemed to struggle with focus in this match,” said Bombers coach Jennifer Kidd. “After beating J.L. Crowe
The L.V. Rogers Bombers junior girls volleyball team claimed the title at the Mount Sentinel Invitational over the weekend. The team includes: (back L-R) assistant coach Megan Rushton, Maia Robertson-Weir, Bryce Winters, Olivia Schepkowski, Haley Slomba, Erica Bennett, Bailey Stefani, Coach Jennifer Kidd; (front row L-R) Brynn Belland, Ashley Hall, Hanna Quinn and Jaylen Rushton. Submitted photo twice in two sets in the round robin, I think they were a little over confi-
dent. Then when they were down by quite a few points they became
nervous and started to scramble. They needed to be aggressive and trust
each other.” The Bombers found the groove that helped the team win the round robin of the tournament in the third game. The LVR juniors came out with a 15-8 win when middle Bailey Stefani put away the match with a solid hit. “What an amazing finish to the weekend,” said Kidd. “The girls came together and worked as a team, not an easy task when you’re down a few points. They listened to us and to each other, they trusted each other and dug in to fight for each and every point to finish the match. [Assistant coach] Megan [Rushton] and I are so proud of the determination shown by each of the girls.” The junior Bombers travelled to Nakusp yesterday for a play day. Results weren’t available before deadline.

Kootenay Wild 1-and-2 against Islands Seals
TAMARA HYND Nelson Star The Kootenay Wild earned their second win of the season on the road against the Island Seals in Campbell River. The girls had one win and two losses over the weekend. Game one was “exciting” according to assistant coach D’Arcy Caron, even though the
Wild lost 3-2. Goals came from Wild players Emma Wheeldon and Kendra Waterstreet while Kaitlyn Daly tended the Wild net. Caron described the second game as “very physical,” adding goaltender Catalina Hartland had a “stellar performance.” Goals were scored by Wheeldon and Rachel Teslak. Even though the Wild played shorthanded five-on-three for the last two minutes of
game, they held on for a 2-1 win. The third match was hard-fought, said Caron, but the Wild lost 3-0. “We couldn’t beat the Island Seals goaltender, who played excellent,” wrote Caron. Hartland played again in net for the Wild. The Wild hit the road again in midNovember to play three games against the Greater Vancouver Comets.

Call-out system problems persist Education assistants spoke out against the current call-out system in the Kootenay Lake school district at this week’s board meeting,
saying the glitchy system is threatening their livelihood. “If you want teachers on call to be happy here, this machine can’t be ruling our lives this way,” said Kathy Couch, who has heard complaints
from others struggling to make rent because of missed shifts and scheduling mess-ups. “This is a very stressful situation.” Rhonda Kirby said she didn’t receive a call for a month due to a system error, and can’t afford that
A great deal just bubbled up.
financial hit. “This concerns me a lot,” said Kirby. She believes some kids in need of support have been “sent home without adequate assistance.” Another problem arose when Couch showed up for a shift only to find it had been cancelled days ago. “I didn’t need to be there, but you had to pay me for it,” Couch told the board. “These glitches are happening all the time. We need this fixed.” She believes part of the problem is the system itself, and the loss of human participation in the process. “There are certain limitations in this program you won’t be able to work out,” she said. The board thanked them and said they were looking into it. — Will Johnson

The Regional District of Central Kootenay will undertake six new fuel management projects to reduce the risk of wildfires. A total of 31 hectares will be treated around the Blewett fire hall, Morning Mountain recreation area, Brent Kennedy school, Chatham Rd., Goose Creek and Pass Creek Park. The work is expected to be completed by April 30. Crews from Debri Resources Ltd. and West Arm Silviculture will cut small understory trees, prune taller trees, and clean up woody debris from the forest floor. This will help reduce the amount of available forest fuel and limit the possibility of forest fires reaching residences, infrastructure and other assets. The pruning will also help stop ground fire from getting into the tree canopy. Small woody debris will be piled and burned or chipped on site. To do this work safely, access to the areas will be restricted at times. Closure signs will be in place. ... Follow us on Instagram at: nelsonstarphotos

BIBO
Itza
Using the best meat possible from Pemberton, this burger is hormone and antibiotic-free with organic ingredients, including cheese sourced from Little Qualicum, caramelized onions, arugula and bacon. All served on a brioche bun with house-made sauce. This is the quintessential bistro burger at its best.
Anchored with a veal and ricotta patty, Itza Pizza’s burger has roasted red peppers, spanish onion, banana peppers, Dijon, garlic and parmesan aioli. It’s all contained inside a delicious, crunchy homemade garlic focaccia bun.
Baker Street Grill This burger uses Alberta beef with caramelized red onions, maple bacon, brie cheese, roasted red pepper aoli, with a kale and arugula slaw. It’s served on a pretzel bun. The unique thing is the combination of flavours. There is roasted garlic right in the patty, chunky, with the brie cheese and arugula — that is a bit different.
Finley’s Bar & Grill with goat cheese and crispy prosciutto Starting with Triple-A chuck beef, it’s topped with beets, onion jam and sharp goat cheese. To provide a salty, crispy element it has a layer of prosciutto laid overtop. The sweet, soft brioche bun allows the different elements to play off each other. This burger is so simple it’s a little complex.
Cantina Del Centro Cooked a la plancha until there’s a nice char on the outside, this Mexican-style hamburguesa consists of two thin patties covered in a piquant chipotle mayonnaise. Housemate potato chips, monterey Jack cheese and house-picked Jalapeños all make for a burger that really packs a punch. This burger will make you feel like you’re on the streets of Mexico.
Uptown Tavern This is a chicken burger using two types of meat, thigh and breast. We were looking for an alternative to the chicken burger instead of using the normal breast you might get in most restaurants. We seem to have hit it on this one. It is a home made patty, with a sriracha mayo avocado dressing as well as back bacon and havarti jalapeno cheese. Most unique thing is the chicken mix of thigh and breast meat. You get a lot of flavour from the thigh meat and we leave it kind of chunky.

Nelson Star Friday, October 30, 2015
Rel-ish Made from scratch, with dried fruit on them, this burger is a homage to the Nelson pirate character Gunpowder Gertie. Doused with Jack Daniel’s and set on fire, this Carribean-themed burger features rum-infused mayo, salted pork, crisp banana peppers and a gluten-free onion ring on a ciabatta bun. This burger will make you want to sail the seven seas.
Main Street Diner For this year’s burger we decided to start with our fresh ground lamb patty on a bun by the Slocan Valley’s own Fomi’s Bakery. Topped with Major Grey’s mango chutney, a fresh mint & creamy feta coleslaw, and finished with a crisp piece of leaf lettuce and our oven roasted garlic aioli. What really makes this year’s burger unique is the combination of flavours achieved by starting with the perfect pairing of savoury Mediterranean spiced lamb and sweet mango chutney. Add a subtle crunch and a bite of freshness in our mint & feta slaw and we present a truly delicious burger that’s not to be missed.
West Coast Grill
Hume Hotel
A beef burger with an Indian touch on a brioche bun, this home-style patty features ginger garlic and Indian ground spices with egg and Panko. The patty is shallow-fried in a pan and topped with crispy onions that give it a crunch. There’s a crunchy Indian coleslaw freshly cut on top, as well as mint and cilantro yogurt, with a lemon squeeze and some salt and pepper. If you’ve never been to Mumbai, at least you can try the burger.
The name comes from Tarzwell Farms in Creston where all the beef comes from. The beef is antibiotic and hormone free, and it is Hume-manely treated. One of the key ingredients is the bun. For the last few weeks we have been working closely with the Kootenay Baker and we have come up with a local organic sesame brioche bun that is fantastic, light, doesn’t fall apart, and tastes great. And we have a homemade sweet onion maple jam, with maple bacon, gruyere cheese, roasted garlic aoli, garnished with stacked, skewered and seasoned waffle-battered home made onion rings, along with mixed spring greens, beefsteak tomato and dill pickle.
Jackson’s Hole
The Royal on Baker
This burger is a brioche bun, a burger patty we make in house, and beer cheese made out of Nelson Brewing Company beer. It has bourbon caramelized onions, bacon tomato, lettuce and a tomato aoli. The beer cheese is unique. We will be pouring the hot gooey cheese all over the burger.
The famous Royal Burger has been made even more special, with double the amount of bacon, and smoked cheddar melted over an onion ring. This year they’re featuring kale Caesar instead of lettuce, with tomato and their own secret sauce. Their Alberta beef is Royally seasoned.
Kootenay Smokehouse
Louie’s Steak House
Their are no growth hormones or antibiotics in the ground chuck in this burger, which is sourced from Two Rivers and mixed with chorizo sausage. The smokehouse bacon the burger is cured and smoked on the property and topped with pesto aioli and tomato relish, all sourced locally. On top is a pickled garlic scape from one of the server’s gardens.
This is a spinoff of a beef Wellington, so we have mushroom duxelle, which is a seasoned ground mushroom. On top we have prosciutto ham, dijon aoli, and red wine demi-jus. What makes this unique is the dipping. It is just like eating a beef wellington. The great thing is that we use cuts of steak that we make here in Louies’ to make our burger, it is not just ground beef. We are trying to get the effect of a simple taste.

Kidney Foundation recognizes ServiceBC Edna Humphries of the Kidney Foundation of Canada’s BC and Yukon branch (far left) presented a Community Leadership Award to Nelson government agent Joyce Edmonds (third from right) and staff at ServiceBC in Nelson in recognition of their efforts to increase organ donation. More than 200 people in the Nelson area have registered in recent months. Of the over 500 patients in BC waiting for a life-saving organ transplant, almost 400 need a kidney. Only about 19 per cent of British Columbians are registered donors, but the Kidney Foundation wants to increase that figure to 50 per cent by 2020.

In Matthew 25 Jesus tells a story, or parable, about three guys who were given various sums of money depending upon their personal skill level. The master went away and left them in charge of this responsibility. They were given something of value and the expectation was that they were to do something with it. Invest it, use it and grow it. Upon the master’s return each one was to give an account of what they did with their sum of money. Two of the three were successful in doubling their entrusted amounts and the third decided his best option was to hoard it away. He reasoned at least when the master returned he would be able to return the original amount – nothing gained or lost. Safe. Secure. Hidden from danger. On the surface it might seem like a wise choice. Nothing risked, not much work, no involvement. Sure the other guys were able to turn a profit but what if they failed? What about the work involved? At least his plan was fool proof. However, that’s not what the master wanted. If he did, well he could have dug a hole and buried the whole amount himself without involving these guys. Each of us has been granted a set amount of time each day. Our Master, our creator has given each of us 86,400 seconds every 24 hours. Some hoard away these seconds as if they can accumulate them for themselves. To use whenever and for whatever they want or need. However, once these seconds are gone that’s it. They are done. Now of course we can’t multiply this time allotment like the master’s money in Jesus’ story. You simply can’t multiply time. Or can we? There is a term called ‘paying it forward’. What if we used a portion of our 86,400 seconds to help someone out? What if we volunteered at one of the local charities? What if we gave of ourselves, of our time, to help make someone else’s life a little brighter and little easier? Is that Unity Centre not maximizing and multiplying on the deposit of 86,400 seconds our Master gives us each day? There are many of the Kootenays opportunities in our community to help out, to give, to pay Speaker – Michael Pratt forward. My challenge to all of us is to find a service club, a charity or an individual to invest our time in and to hear Topic - “A New Vision” our Master’s words ‘Well done, good and faithful servant’! 717 Vernon St. Sunday at 11 a.m. Any questions?

Epp, Frances Lois ‘Frankie’ 1943 - 2015
It is with heavy hearts that the family of Frankie announces her passing in Calgary on October 20, 2015 at the age of 72. After many health struggles throughout her life, Frankie went peacefully in her sleep. Frankie had a strong will and was determined to fight her health issues as long as she did. She never let them impact her ability to love life. She enjoyed many years of travelling south in the winter, along with many cruises and vacations with her friends. Her passion was music. When walking into her home in Nelson, chances were great that Elvis would be playing, scrabble board would be on the table and cookies would be baking. She was proud to call Nelson her home. She spent most of her life there, whether at her house in town or summers at the cabin on Kootenay Lake. She loved people and was always willing to lend a helping hand or deliver a tin of her famous baking. She loved to have fun and most importantly to laugh. She will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of calling Frankie a friend. There is no other ‘Frankie’. She is survived by her two sons: Mark Pruden (Jeannie) of Comox, BC and Mark’s daughter Kelsey and her husband Cory Walters of Spruce Grove, AB. Mike Pruden (Linda) and their daughter Madeline of Calgary; her ‘adopted’ daughter Yuka Shimomoto of Tokyo, Japan; her sisters Debbie (Tom) Boucher of Coquitlam, BC; Cathy (Bob) O’Brien and Charlotte Baglole both of Maple Ridge, BC; cousin Pat (Ben) Audet whom she thought of as her sister. She is also survived by cousins, nieces, nephews as well as an aunt and uncle in Vancouver, BC. A Celebration of Frankie’s Life will be held in Nelson in early summer 2016 – details will follow at a later date. The family wishes to thank the dedicated and caring staff of Wentworth Manor in Calgary where Frankie resided for the last year. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to: The Brenda Strafford Foundation: 4628 Montgomery Blvd NW Calgary AB T3B 0K7 www.straffordfoundation.org

Grans to Grans host African dinner Nov. 8
Submitted to the Nelson Star The popular ninth annual African dinner fundraiser is being held on Sunday, Nov. 8. Enjoy an authentic African dinner, prepared by the Nelson Grans to Grans, with entertainment and silent auction. The Nelson grans donate all foods for the preparation of the dinner. Much of the produce is grown in their own gardens. This year the grans welcome guest speaker Ntahuba Parfaite, pastor of a church in the capital of Burundi. Parfaite has organized an HIV/AIDS clinic and other services for mothers and children and is an impassioned speaker. Nelson’s own Paul Landsberg and Don MacDonald will entertain with gypsy music. The inspired grandkids of Ymir, who spend hours
creating projects to raise funds for the Grandmothers Campaign, will offer their handiwork for sale. All of the proceeds of the dinner are donated to the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, which supports African grandmothers and the children in their care orphaned by HIV/ AIDS. The Nelson Grans to Grans work to raise funds and awareness in solidarity with these indomitable women. Dinner is at 5:30 p.m. (doors open at 4:30) at the Nelson United Church Hall, 602 Silica Street. ABOVE RIGHT: Zeva Rushforth using a drill press to construct a unique grandkids bird feeder project for sale.

Nelson laundry workers protest privatization plans
ABOVE PAR GOLF COURSE LIVING
Hospital Employees Union members held a street-side demonstration Tuesday in front of the Nelson courthouse to protest Interior Health’s plans to contract out laundry services at Kootenay Lake Hospital. Local HEU chair Sophia Dricos (pictured at left) said they don’t expect a final decision before December. Last month the health authority announced it was delaying an announcement on whether to proceed. Dricos said they’re hoping new Interior Health CEO Chris Mazurkewich will abandon privatization plans, which the union says could result in 175 job losses in 11 cities and towns. Demonstrations were also held this week in Kamloops, Kelowna, 100 Mile House, and Penticton. Greg Nesteroff photos
