News SAR demands more protection Nelson Search and Rescue team joins provincial call for improved legal coverage from the province by Chris Shepherd Nelson Search and Rescue has joined several other search and rescue teams across B.C. and issued the province an ultimatum: pay for legal coverage for the rescue societies or lose the services and skills the volunteers provide for lost and injured people in the backcountry. The societies also want the province to pay for WCB coverage and gave a Saturday, Aug. 16 deadline. At that point, each society will have to decide what they’ll do, says Chris Armstrong, spokesperson for Nelson Search and Rescue (SAR). “The one problem with all volunteer rescue groups is we’re a huge body of enablers,” Armstrong said. “We don’t want to turn down a call for little Jonny on the rock who’s drowning in the river. Basically we’re going to be faced with a decision of ending service. Of not being available to the commu-

nity.” Nelson SAR and Kootenay Heli Rescue, a helicopter rescue service, had temporarily suspended their services while they consulted their lawyer. Nelson SAR reinstated its services last week while Kootenay Heli Rescue is still temporarily sus-

pended. The helicopter rescue crews will still respond to emergencies, said Kootenay Heli Rescue vice president Jim Reaburn. The ultimatum came after the Golden and District Search and Rescue Association was served with a lawsuit by Gilles Blackburn, a Quebec man whose wife died in the East Kootenay mountains last winter. The pair were lost for 10 days despite the fact their SOS sign had been reported to the RCMP twice. Blackburn alleges he suffered physical and psychological injuries because the Golden and District Rescue Association and RCMP didn’t search for him and his wife. Blackburn’s lawsuit is the first of its kind that Armstrong has heard of and it’s sent a chill throughout the search and rescue community. SAR teams are called out by the police, ambulance, coroner or fire departments to help in a search or rescue. It is up

to those official organizations to call out a SAR team. The teams are employed by the Provincial Emergency Program (PEP) which provides insurance for the individual rescuers, but not for the society. While Nelson SAR has its own insurance to

protect the society, not all do. Armstrong says there are “several loopholes in the system that leave us exposed, even if we have the insurance.” Steve Bachop, director of regional services and programs for PEP, says the SAR teams are “essential” to the program’s success. “Our biggest concern is to make sure we’ve got all the teams back online and they’re fully committed to providing the great service they do.” In response to the ultimatum from search and rescue teams, Bachop said PEP will “explore all options.” The province works with many societies, including search and rescue teams, Bachop says, and it does not provide third-party insurance for any of them. Bachop said there’s an issue of fairness to all societies to consider. “If we do it for one, should we do for all of them. I think that’s a reasonable question to ask.”

Council wants to control private docks New docks off John’s Walk meet provincial standards but councillors want power to approve future applications by Chris Shepherd The city was caught off guard when two private docks were installed off John’s Walk and council is now looking at how they can control the water off the city’s shores to avoid more docks in the future. At their Monday, June 15 meeting, councillors agreed to ask the Integrated Land Management Bureau (ILMB) to make the Kootenay Lake shore that falls within city limits to be a “application-only area” for docks under 20 square metres. That means any applications the ILMB receives for small docks will be referred to the City of Nelson. Just what that means for the two docks already in the water is uncertain, but future applications for small docks will be referred to the City of Nelson. Linda Tynan, director of corporate services for the City of Nelson, says council is exploring its right to regulate docks through zoning. “It’s a little bit of a legal matter at this point in time.” The issue came to coun-

speak.” At the June 15 council meeting, Councillor Kim Charlesworth said the docks highlight the need for a comprehensive waterfront plan to avoid confusion and conflict along Nelson’s waterfront. Konrad agrees with Charlesworth’s call for greater planning along the waterfront. “Our big frustration is there’s no plan.

Briefly Teen Reading Club

All summer at the Nelson Municipal Library, 602 Stanley St. “Read All About It!” is this year’s newspaperthemed slogan, a bid to encourage the three Rs, TeenRC style: reading, writing, and reviewing. Nelson area teens can sign up for a free account and join some 3,000 teens from across Canada in online chat about books, and post book reviews and creative writing. TeenRC participants can win an iPod, but it’s not just the prizes that

keep teens glued to a website about reading. “It’s great to hear teens’ stories about the reading friends they’ve made online.” says Joanne Harris, Nelson Municipal Library’s teen librarian. The Nelson Library has some activities of its own. Beginning Monday, June 29, teens can enter a weekly draw for prizes that runs all summer long. Find out more about the Teen Reading Club at www.teenrc.ca or contact Harris at 352-6333 or jharris@nelson.ca.

Father, son and nephew caught in coke, pot and ecstasy trafficking investigation by Chris Shepherd Police announced a series of drug trafficking arrests that included three members of one family among those charged. The seven-month investigation made a “significant” impact on Nelson’s cocaine, ecstasy and marijuana trade, police say. One of those charged is accused of selling marijuana from the Holy Smoke Culture Shop on the same day four men were found guilty of drug trafficking at the same location.

“Some of these individuals were very significant drug traffickers in our community. Some not so much,” says Sgt. Steve Bank of the Nelson Police Department. Last week, the NPD announced they had laid 19 charges against nine Nelsonites. Weaponsrelated charges are pending. The charges came after an investigation that used wiretaps, surveillance, undercover operators and search warrants. Police arrested and charged Francis Dukart, 57,

his nephew David Dukart, 34, and Bao Duc Nguyen, 30. The NPD also have outstanding arrest warrants for Francis Dukart’s son, Sean Dukart, 30, Gabriel Lajoie, 26, Tylor Ross, 29, Steven Haddow, 31, Tamlyn Peterson, 25, and Tyler Vaccher, 26. Some of those with outstanding arrests have left the area, says Bank. While the charges were all laid at the same time, few of the “criminal enterprises” were connected, Bank says.

Police allege drugs were sold in licensed premises, public spaces, over a cell phone and at the Holy Smoke Culture Shop. Sgt. Bank could not say what kind of volumes of drugs were being moved into Nelson. “Unfortunately this community consumes quite a significant amount of cocaine and of course we all know what the marijuana culture is like in the Kootenays, so that’s no surprise. Of course ecstasy is also a very popular drug of choice in our community.”

Setting it straight A press release in the June 17 issue of the Express, “This spring, effective disposal of invasive plants is important,” had an error in it. The Regional District of Central Kootenay does not accept invasive plants free of charge at its landfills.

The Nelson chapter of the Kootenay Lake Hospital Auxiliary donated $30,000 to the Kootenay Lake Hospital Foundation’s CT scanner fundraiser last week. Dorothy Wayling, right, auxiliary vice president, and Grace Baines, second from right, auxiliary president, presented the cheque to Bryna Idler and Roger Higgins from the foundation. The auxiliary sold more than cookies to make the donation. They also operate the hospital’s gift shop (and knit some of the shop’s stock), rent TVs to patients, hold raffles, and, of course, hold bake sales. Beyond raising money for the hospital, the auxiliary also provided planters and tend the gardens around the entrance to Kootenay Lake Hospital. The Kootenay Lake Hospital Foundation has raised $156,000 so far. The goal is $1.5 million.

Community Complex parking lot and below Finley’s Irish Bar and Grill. The society presented those plans in September 2007 and were met with strong opposition from some businesses and residents in the area. Council also told the society the location was not actually offered to skateboarders. Two more options were eventually added to the list and in February 2008 it seemed council had made a decision when it picked a location among the lakeside soccer fields. That last decision was made without any feedback from city staff on whether the skate park would fit in the location. Residents in the area and the Nelson Youth Soccer Association opposed the spot and work stalled throughout the year. It’s been a frustrating process for the skate park society, says Robert Levesque, chair of KLOSPS. He’s optimistic the new committee will finally find a location that will work for Nelson. “I think everyone knows that enough is enough and that this it.”

Editorial

Private dock issue highlights need for a waterfront master plan When residents of John’s Walk decided to put in their own dock, they were looking to make the most of the waterfront lots they built their homes on. They followed the rules, as they understood them, and then found out the City of Nelson may have a problem with that (see “Council wants to control private docks” on page three). Their actions have highlighted the need for council to move on creating a waterfront master plan. Such a plan would explicitly state what the community wants for our waterfront. With a waterfront master plan, developers and homeowners will know what they can and cannot do and confusion like what happened with the docks can be avoided. Without a plan, we can expect conflicts and disagreements over what our waterfront should look like. The Official Community Plan (OCP) includes many references to the plan. Scattered throughout the OCP are many goals for the waterfront master plan. They include: study the airport’s uses and alternate uses for that land; provide information on road capacity, water and sewer capacity and the costs to provide services to that part of town; discuss the route of the waterfront pathway; and, perhaps most importantly, provide guidelines for residential buildings and residential units in mixed-use buildings. It’s quite a list of goals and all of them are important for guiding the development of Nelson’s waterfront. Without a plan, vetted by the community, approved by council and adopted as part of the OCP, we’ll have a slipshod approach to our waterfront, a part of town many people value and a part of town we have very little of.

Dear editor, I’ve been reading about the CT scanner a lot lately. I have one problem with it though; the skate park was in the queue before the hospital. Now I know some people are reading this and thinking the CT scanner is more important. It is not more important; it is just as important for our community. I am thankful that a few of the councillors spoke up against this idea and suggested a bit of process to it. I am not sure who put their application in first but I’m going to take a guess and say the skate park was first in line for a request for some land. I am going to suggest a win/ win for everyone. If the city is going to undertake an inventory of land for suit-

able lots, then they should also be considering the skate park in the process. Once the lots/lands are inventoried, both organizations should be offered their piece of land at the same time. This does not leave our youth feeling like they were slapped in the face again and the hospital is left with a great fund raising idea. However, if the skate park is not offered land, then I do not think the hospital should get their piece of the pie first. It needs to be win/win or no deal. Dana Diotte Nelson

Super-sized Liberal cabinet smells of hypocrisy

During the second term of the Campbell government, the Outdoor Edge magazine reprinted an essay by Corky Evans. In it he explained why he decided to get back into provincial politics. His motivation came in part from a conversation he had with a former political adversary. The other unnamed person pointed out how the Campbell Liberals were selling off provincial resources to private interests in ways that removed them from future value to British Columbians. That essay should have been required reading for every voter in British Columbia. It helped explain to us some news items about average people who suddenly found themselves unable to utilize provincially-owned property in ways they had been doing for years. I couldn’t help but think about the concerns that

Corky expressed when I read about the size of the Liberal cabinet. It was just one more example of something that Gordon Campbell criticised the NDP for when he formed the opposition. With his new cabinet, Premier Gordon Campbell has not just repeated, but supersized the cabinet. Voters everywhere have short memories, but surely these things should resonate with the public when

the media recounts each and every example. Opposition Leader Campbell promised a 12-member cabinet if his Liberals were to form a government, saying that the NDP cabinet of 18 members was too big. Our fearless leader has now increased his cabinet to 25, more than half the number of Liberal MLAs. Each minister is paid an additional $50,000 over the $100,00 that all MLA’s receive. That’s $250,000 more than taxpayers would be facing if Campbell had kept his promise. Yet somehow the NDP is seen as the party of big spenders, but Campbell is perceived to be the man who will control costs in these tough economic times. What’s the next action that Campbell has criticized the NDP for that he will do in grand style?

Selkirk dorms project set back Federal stimulus money not meant for housing, college learns by Chris Shepherd Hopes that Selkirk College could get a piece of the economic stimulus pie to renovate its Nelson residences fell flat when the college learned a substantial grant it applied for wasn’t meant for such projects. Selkirk had hoped for a $3.5 million grant from the federal government’s Knowledge Infrastructure Program, an economic stimulus project. “It seemed like the best opportunity,” says Barry Auliffe, director of communications and development for Selkirk. At the end of March he found out the funding was not meant for housing projects. It was a surprise to Auliffe, who even had the support of the province, which had helped bring the project forward to the feds. The City of Nelson, which owns McCarty Hall and St. Martin’s Hall at the college’s Tenth Street Campus, and Selkirk had signed a memorandum of understanding. It outlined their plans to turn the abandoned buildings into a

“model green renovation project.” The renovations would have provided up to 168 beds for students. Both sides saw positives to the project. Student housing would have freed up rental units in the broader community, hopefully calming a highly competitive rental market. College administration have heard anecdotes of students not choosing Selkirk because of the lack of dorms.

Renovating the dorms has been a long-term project for the city and college, one started long before the federal funding was announced. Auliffe said funding work had focused on the federal money but now that it’s gone, work will continue in other directions, though Auliffe said there are rumours there could be a second round of funding opportunities for colleges. “We believe we’re looking at a green building that will help housing in the region and that there could be funding for this,” Auliffe said.

Second project approved

Selkirk had sent in two funding applications to the feds. While the dorm request failed, they did receive $1.88 million to improve the heating and air conditioning system at Selkirk’s Castlegar campus. The improvements will make some classrooms more comfortable in the summer and let the college reduce its greenhouse gas emissions.

Athletic therapy may be what you need to get back in the game The motto of the Canadian Athletic Therapists Association is “Rapid Return to Work and Play.” “Athletic therapy is not only for athletes but for all active individuals,” says local certified athletic therapist (CAT) Christy Nichol. She says people suffering from either chronic or acute injuries can benefit from the care and rehabilitation provided by this comprehensive form of therapy. The ultimate goal is to keep individuals active and to encourage peak performance activity. Athletic therapy has three main components. First, is prevention. This involves education, the assessment of biomechanics and posture, warm-ups, equipment selection, the identification of weaknesses and poor movement patterns, supportive bracing and taping, etc. The second component of athletic therapy is immediate care. This involves the on-site, immediate response to an injured athlete. For example, if an athlete is

injured during a sports game, the athletic therapist will run onto the field, court, or ice to provide emergency care. The third component involves rehabilitation and reconditioning. This is where most of the hard work and training comes into play. Both chronic and acute injuries can be treated during this phase of care. For example, one could receive treatment for either a post-surgical ACL reconstruction or chronic lower back pain. This component involves injury assessment, softtissue and myofascial release work, rehabilitative techniques, physi-

Kate Butt is a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She treats a variety of conditions and has special interests in women’s health, peri-natal care, chronic pain, and sports injuries.

cal reconditioning, supportive strapping and bracing, and therapeutic modalities such as, laser, neuro-electrical stimulation, or ultrasound. The CAT will look at flexibility, core stability, balance, strength, and movement patterns. A course of treatment may vary in duration depending on the individual’s health history as well as the severity of their current condition. Athletic therapy approaches injury and rehabilitation from many angles and can be used in conjunction with other therapies such as acupuncture, massage, chiropractics, and physiotherapy. For more information contact one of your local athletic therapists for consultation.

Soaked oats let you enjoy fibre in the summer months Often a winter staple, oats tend to lose their place at the breakfast table as springtime comes around. Oats are an excellent source of soluble fibre which lowers cholesterol and helps to stabilize blood sugars. Oats are also a good source of thiamine, riboflavin and vitamin E. For the most nutritional value, choose steel cut oats. Steel cut oats have been minimally processed and still contain the bran. If you aren’t a fan of the chewy steel

cut, choose a large flake rolled oat like an “old fashioned” rolled oat. A great way to enjoy oats in the spring is uncooked. Soaked oats are chewy and delicious and many people find them easier to digest. Homemade cereals are always a healthier choice than a processed cereal.

rolled oats in 1/3 cup water in the fridge overnight. In the morning add: 1/2 grated granny smith apple, with peel 2 Tbsp. chopped walnuts 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice Mix together and enjoy with a dash of cinnamon, fresh plain yogurt and berries.

Swiss Muesli: For each serving: Soak 1/3 cup steel cut or old fashioned

THE NELSON COMMUNITY Dragon Boat Club is a Co-Ed recreational group which practices on Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30-7pm. We welcomes new paddlers. If youíre new to the sport come down to the Boat House at Lakeside Park and join us for a free paddle. Dragon Boating has become the worldís fasting growing water sport. It is a great sport for men and women of all ages that combines strength training and teamwork so it is a good cross-training for hikers, skiers and cyclists. Linda 352-5546 NOT TO BE missed! South African jazz pianist Neil Gonsalves will be in Nelson and Rossland for two performances only. His inspiring compositions draw from the proud traditional forms of African music, the Christian hymns of the colonial past, Indian classical music and south African, American and European jazz. He successfully synthesizes these influences into an harmonious whole. The end result is a reflection of a gifted and talented pianist, composer and arranger. He has toured extensively nationally and internationally. His performance credits include international tours with Johnny Clegg and Savuka and most recently he spent a few months in Sweden where he recorded his latest album NorthFacing. The Neil Gonsalves Trio will be performing at the Old Firehall Rossland 17th July, Nelson United Church on the 18th July at 7.30pm. Tickets available at Eddy music.

heat ducts will work best if they are brought down to floor/baseboard level. If you do not have a return air vent in the basement this may also be a factor for ineffective airflow. It is also possible for the storage area under the stairs, if it is enclosed, to also be contributing to the odour problem. Often in storage areas such as this there is inadequate heat and airflow.

year.” Just make sure it’s only “in” in your life if it makes you feel marvellous. Our colour story predates even our own births. The origin of our forefathers – whether from grassy steppes, frozen tundra, or luscious forests – will have resulted in some genetic colour coding that will have been subconsciously transmitted to, and through, us. During our lifetime, we accumulate colour-associated memories – good ones

and not-so-good ones. I spent many of my formative years tightly bound in a green serge school uniform and it wasn’t just the colour that was wrong with this picture! Four decades later, I still steer clear of dark forest green in clothing, paint and upholstery. To another person – one who has spent happy relaxing times in the woods – dark greens may be the hues that make him, or her, feel most comfortable and content. From now on when you think about colour, consider how it makes you feel before turning your attention to how it looks. This isn’t as backward as it sounds.

Think about how colours make you feel It’s no secret that I love colour. I wear it, live in it and stitch it into my art. However, if we limit our understanding and celebration of all that is colourful to a visual experience, we are probably missing 80 per cent of its value and significance. It’s not what a colour is that matters, it’s what it does. What periwinkle blue does for me, it may not do for you; and while beige makes you feel calm, it’s likely to make me feel restless and out of place. Therefore it is impossible to subscribe to the ‘colour of the month’ as depicted in magazines and media without doing a gross disservice your own history, associations and proclivities. It’s all very well for people to glibly remark that “yellow is really in this

NELSON HYDRO CUSTOMER ADVISORY: POWER THEFT Power theft is electricity taken that is not recorded at the consumer’s meter and is not paid for by the customer. Power may be illegally diverted for drug growing operations, hot tubs, porch lights and more. Power theft results in higher electricity rates for all, and can pose a serious fire and safety hazard. Bypassed electric services do not comply with the BC Electrical Code. Wiring in violation of the code poses a threat to those installing the bypass as well as residents, emergency responders, Nelson Hydro service crews, home inspectors, landlords and tenants, who may not be aware that power theft is occurring at the premise. Un-metered electricity can result in overloaded wires, transformers and distribution equipment. Overloaded hydro equipment can create power outages to entire neighborhoods and may result in replacement of expensive equipment. The cost of un-metered electricity and other costs associated with power theft are reflected in the rates that consumers pay for service. If you think that power theft is occurring, please contact: Nelson Hydro General Office: 250-352-8240 Nelson Fire Dispatch; 250-352-3103 Nelson City Police: 250-354-3919 RCMP: 250-352-2156 Crime Stoppers: 800-222-TIPS
