Fire trashes Uphill home No injuries in blaze, old barbecue suspected cause by Chris Shepherd A poorly maintained barbecue likely caused a house fire last week and Nelson’s fire chief urges everyone to take care using the devices. “It’s really critical that the equipment be serviced properly,” says Simon Grypma, chief of the Nelson Fire and Rescue Services. The fire damaged several rooms and the roof of an Uphill home on Observatory Street in the early evening of Friday, July 3. Due to multiple renovations to the heritage building, firefighters had to do some damage to the structure to completely extinguish the fire. Firefighters traced the fire to a barbecue on a back porch. The B.C. Safety Authority is inspecting the barbecue but Grypma suspects a leaking gas fitting on

the propane barbecue caused the fire. Seventeen firefighters and four fire trucks responded to the blaze, which threatened nearby homes and set fire to a nearby vehicle and a telephone pole. Grypma says the fire highlights the need to be careful with barbecues. Don’t leave the gas cookers alone and try to keep them on the lawn or in an alleyway. Grypma says the occupant was lucky to escape because the barbecue set fire to the balcony, the resident’s only escape. The resident escaped though the firefighters had to rescue several pets from some of the other suites in the foursuite building. Grypma was happy to hear the suite’s smoke alarm worked during the fire and encourages everyone to ensure the batteries are working in their smoke detectors.

A woman who spent a week outside Kootenay Lake Hospital is now being cared for, says a hospital official, though legal and moral considerations prevented him from explaining why it took seven days to get her help. Jane, not her real name, was seen lying on the ground near the hospital’s emergency entrance on Thursday, June 25 and it wasn’t until Thursday, July 2 that she was taken into care.

Jane’s situation drew the attention of several passersby who brought her blankets, water and food and a group of 135 people joined an online awareness campaign for the woman. “She’s being assessed and getting the care she needs,” says Martin Oets, acting health services administrator for Kootenay Lake Hospital and program administrator for Mental Health and Addictions Services. “I don’t think they have worry about her.”

Crime dips in 2008 Mild drop in criminal offences in Nelson last year by Chris Shepherd An aging population helped lower crimes in the region last year, says Nelson’s chief of police Dan Maluta, Nelson Police Department (NPD) chief, says there’s been a drop in criminal offences across Western Canada, something he partially attributes to the country’s aging population. The minor drop is seen in the NPD’s crime statistics for January 2008 to October 2008. The statistics were recently released by the police department and are available on the NPD website at www.nelsonpolice.ca. “Generally speaking, your young males are

disproportionately represented in the crime stats,” says Maluta. “We’re pleased to see the overall trend is downward,” Maluta says. While fewer crimes means less investigations for police, Maluta says the complex nature of those investigations mean NPD officers are just as busy. Among the offences included in the report, liquor offences ranked highest. That’s a broad category that includes public intoxication, minors with alcohol, and drinking in public, to name a few. For much of the year liquor offences are clustered around the weekends, but that changes during the warmer months.

“Liquor offences will be almost nightly,” says Insp. Henry Paivarinta, the officer in charge of the police’s stats. While some offences saw drops from last year (like assault with a weapon or residential break and enters) the small number of incidents don’t tell police if there’s been a major change in crime in Nelson. In some situations, however, police know exactly why there was a drop. There were fewer break and enters at homes because police were able to arrest three repeat offenders. Crimes like B&Es and theft from automobiles are typically done by

one or two individuals, says Maluta, so getting a conviction can have a big impact on crime in Nelson. Among the statistics from 2008, the largest stat was assistance to the general public. In 2008, the police were called to help the public 2,192 times. That assistance can include everything from settling neighbour disputes to responding to a call and having a family ask police to put down an injured pet. Maluta actually likes that number. “It’s a reflection that this department goes to calls that other departments may not,” says Maluta.

Health co-op AGM showcases progress Nelson’s Community First Health Co-op held its 2009 annual general meeting on Thursday, June 18. The report given by the chair, Doug Stoddart, included the fact that membership has grown to about 1,000. Membership support at the meeting was less than 50, but that is not uncommon for community organizations. It is only a matter of sufficient sequential sunny days for the Coop’s Wellness Centre on Lake Street to be dressed in spiffy new colours with more obvious signage. Lynn Adams has been the lead board member on this project. The building is well on its way to becoming the one-stop shopping location for traditional and alternative practices in medicine that the board envisioned when the Lake Street forestry building was first purchased. Eight different groups are based in the centre, offering a wide range of wellness programs. It is expected that they will soon be joined by two others. Board member Debbie Zebin reported on the activities of the housing committee. When current plans are realized, the area next to the Wellness Centre will become a

Radical changes to the global economy killed roughly 5,600 jobs in the Kootenays, says a report by the province’s accountants that assesses economic indicators in the region. The Kootenay’s dependence on resource industries like forestry and mining has taken its toll on the region. The report by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of British Columbia finds there are fewer jobs, fewer new businesses and more people on employment insurance. The institute issued a series of reports last week, detailing how regions of the province have been hit by changes to the global economy. For the Kootenay region, the economic

downtown residential area. The Nelson and District Credit Union has been very supportive from the beginning. Doug Stoddart, who is chief executive officer of the credit union as well as chair of the co-op board, has his office in the building. When the credit union needed a secure location for the storage of documents, their advance payment for rent gave the co-op the capital to develop a storage area large enough that secure storage space can be rented to others as well. With the revenues generated from the centre’s use and other sources, the co-op’s excess of revenue over expenses was approximately $19,000. The Community First Health Co-op’s future is in good hands. The coop’s motto, “Supporting solutions for healthy communities” is already being realized.

Ten tips for a good letter to the editor 1. Keep it short. The more concise your letter, the more dynamic it will be. 2. Address one issue per letter. If you have more than one issue, write a separate letter. 3. Be opinionated. Avoid citing facts, but rather express your opinion regarding the facts. 4. Don’t get personal. Attack the issues, not the person. 5. State your premise in the first sentence. Make the subject of your letter known immediately.

6. We’re unique. The Express gives priority to letters written especially for the Express. 7. Have a “second set of eyes” review your letter before submitting. This will help ensure your idea is being conveyed. 8. Handwritten is okay; typed is better; emailed is preferred. 9. If you see a problem, suggest a solution. 10. The purpose of a letter to the editor is to provoke discussion within the community.

Street Talk What book are you reading this summer?

The story of the woman left outside Kootenay Lake Hospital for a week (see story on page one) is an unsettling one, made more so because of the many questions left unanswered. We understand that the Interior Health Authority cannot discuss a person’s health issues. It is a matter of privacy and discretion and we would not want to violate that. However, the public nature of the woman’s act and the involvement of passersby makes the story one that needs to be covered. Clearly a problem exists with our health care system if a woman can be allowed to stay outside a hospital for a week. Regardless of the specifics of this case, it has brought to light a gap in our safety net. People in our community are clearly not getting the care they require. The old system was to put people in mental institutions. For many it was good that we found ways to incorporate them into our communities. But for some people, some form of institutionalization may be necessary for their own protection. We cannot allow people to do harm to themselves in public view. They’re calling out for something and people with mental health issues can have problems explaining their needs and wants. At what point do we override a person’s will and take care of them? Martin Oets, acting health services administrator for Kootenay Lake Hospital raises this very question and it’s obvious he takes it very seriously, as everyone should. We certainly don’t know what the answer is, but there’s a clear need for more people and resources to prevent similar situations from happening again. This is not the first time we’ve reported on someone in crisis because of gaps in the social safety net. Just before Christmas we did our best to describe the situation of a mother and her adult son who did not easily fit into the existing health care system. The gap facing that family put the mother at risk. We need better resources in our community to help those who need it.

Wednesday, July 8 to Saturday, July 11 and Wednesday, July 15 to Saturday, July 18, 7:30 p.m. in the old rock quarry below Gyro Park Will Shakespeare’s famous characters strut their stuff in Nelson this summer during the first annual Bard in the Bush Shakespeare Festival. The festival starts with Shakespeare Shorts V, and will be followed by A Midsummer Night’s Dream in August. This year’s worthy quintet of players are returning vets Lisel Forst, Sydney

Galbraith,RobynLamb,and Jeff Forst, plus homecoming king Joel Cottingham. Every Shakespeare Shorts night is different, as the classic scenes are plucked from a hat by the audience, so the actors have no idea in which order they will play their various characters until the moment of. Shakespeare Shorts V’’s dozen plus scenes are from Hamlet, Two Gentlemen of Verona, Twelfth Night, Taming of the Shrew, As You Like It, Julius Caesar, The Tempest, Richard III, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Antony and Cleopatra. ‘Ye Olde Stone Quarry’ in Nelson’s Gyro Park is

the perfect venue for ‘Shakespeare Shorts V’. From downtown, enter ‘Ye Olde Stone Quarry’ via the trail at the upper end of Vernon St., or park above by the pool area, pass the playground, and follow the footpath and stone stairs down. Admittance to the show is a suggested donation of $10. Recommended for ages 12+. Bring your own chair (though some are available if need be).’Ye Olde Stone Quarry’ is a beautiful outdoors setting with natural creatures, no facilities, potential for weather and the odd surprise – just like in Will’s day! – submitted

Davison tells the story of the misfits and freaks of the circus in latest musical offering Circo de Teatro is the latest CD release by Jude Davison – the 18th CD of his diverse career. After pursuing many different creative musical directions over the past several years Circo de Teatro sees Jude return, once again, to a full-blown artist album. Initially inspired by the Sara Gruen book, Water For Elephants, Circo is difficult to pigeon hole as it is a truly unique sounding album that borrows and combines sounds from Americana, roots, R&B, Dixieland and Mexican mariachi music, and forges this with the story and theme of a travelling circus. In a Tom Waits-esque manner the music brings to life the sights and sounds of a circus as well as many of its characters – the misfits, the freaks, the performers, who make their life working on a travelling show. Usually playing all of the instruments himself,

Circo de Teatro is, however, the first Davison album in a long while to feature the performances of outside musicians. The wonderful horn section and solo works of Keith Todd (trombone & tuba), Rick Lingard (saxophones), Tim Bullen (trumpet), the theatrical vocals of Sydney Galbraith, the accordion of Bessie Wapp, and the banjo artistry of Craig Korth all add a depth and new dimension to the sound of the album. The album switches styles from song to song yet somehow still manages to

sound cohesive. A recent addition to the Davison musical arsenal – the lap-steel guitar, adds a haunting sound to many of the albums tracks. “I always like to buy a new instrument to inspire me on recordings – this time I bought lots of different percussion instruments and also managed to learn the lap-steel guitar, which, as it turned out, was exactly what the music needed.” Another unique aspect of the album is the inclusion of two instrumental songs, as Davison explains, “I wanted to challenge myself to try to create the experience and landscape of the circus without always using lyrics – something that would have to be more cinematic sounding.” Circo de Teatro is available at Packrat Annie’s, Otter Books, Urban Legends and online at www.circodeteatro.com – submitted

Soaring for kids Nelson man flies across Canada under a parachute for summer camp fundraiser by Chris Shepherd A Nelson man is roughly a third of the way into his trip across Canada, flying a power paraglider to Newfoundland as part of a fundraiser to send kids to camp and set the world record for travelling by a means that’s essentially powered by a souped-up lawn mower. Benjamin Jordan is going coast to coast – Tofino to St. John’s – this summer. He expects the trip will take him 108 days to cover the 10,000 kilometres he’ll fly. That distance will more double the distance record for travelling by power paraglider. Jordan is using the trip to raise money to help send children to camps. Growing up in Eastern Canada, Jordan almost didn’t get to go to camp himself. It wasn’t until his mother found some funding programs that he was able to go. Jordan has fond memories of his time there and he wants to give other children the same experiences. To do that, he came up with the idea of visiting schools and camps as he travels across Canada. As part of his trip, Jordan is taking photos of the schools and children and he plans to turn the photos into a book. At each school or camp, Jordan works with the leaders to create unique images. The students form shapes in a field and Jordan snaps a picture from the air. Book sales in each province go to charities in that province. In B.C. Jordan is working with the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, which works with the B.C. Camping Association to send kids to camp. Jordan also talks to the children about how their dreams can be achieved, no matter how frightening they may be. He uses himself as an example. When he first saw a paraglider he was afraid of the idea of hanging from

Mountain Bike Movie Fundraiser

Thursday, July 9, 9 p.m. at the Spiritbar, 422 Vernon St. Anytime is a good time for stoking up. And nothing says stoke like a new mountain bike movie. Check out Kranked: Revolve at the Spirit Bar in the Hume Hotel. This movie premier will be a fundraiser for the Nelson Cycling Club to raise money for ongoing trail construction and maintenance. Revolve is a mountain biking, big mountain extravaganza, featuring some of the best riders in the world including home grown talent, Mike Kinrade and Garrett Buehler whose footage can only be termed as “sick.” Filmed in spots such as California, Switzerland and British Columbia, the movie highlights incredible freeride footage and some beautiful scenery.

Diana Robles

Friday, July 10, 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. at The Factory, 441 Baker St. Diana Robles is showing in Nelson for the first time at The Factory. Robles is a weaver,

painter, musician, dancer and fashion designer. All of her work embodies her philosophy of design: movement, colour and texture. Her unique, one of a kind clothing pieces and paintings reflect an innate sense of visual expression and a primitive, hands-on approach to art in all forms. Her work has been shown in the United States primarily and is in private collections all over the world. Only recently moving back to Canada, she has made Nelson her home and is excited to be involved with the developing art movement that is happening here in the Kootenays. For more information, contact The Factory at info@factorystudios.ca.

Rob Paine

Friday, July 10 at the Spiritbar, 422 Vernon St. Rob Paine is by far an innovator and continues to push the elements of dub into house and techno music but also wants to be known for his deep and soulful productions for that classic pure house music vibe. He has created a world renowned studio and works as an engineer for major hip hop, R&B and reggae artists from Philadelphia in Worship Studios. His commitment to the city of Philadelphia’s ever continuing music mecca is life long. He is fortunate to work alongside such artists such as King Britt, Josh Wink, Jazzy Jeff, Quest Love & The Roots, Jill Scott, Lady Alma, Rich Medina and many more too long to list. Rob is currently working on a slew of releases in both house and reggae to be released or has already been released this year. Opening set by Hoola, $10 at the door.

I Was Here: Architecture and Personal History in Nelson

Until Sunday, Sept. 6 at Touchstones Nelson, 502 Vernon St. This is an exhibit of selected highlights of Nelson architecture past and present. From the storied life of courthouse architect Francis Rattenbury to shopping at the Chahko-Mika Mall, this is an interesting and at times entertaining tapestry of some of the people, architecture and events that have helped shape

Nelson. Also featured will be the “Memory Wall”, an interactive large scale map of Nelson that will invite visitors to participate directly in the exhibit by adding their own personal memories, photos or (non-valuable) memorabilia. The “Memory Wall” will also travel to selected groups and events throughout Nelson this summer. For more information, call 352-9813 or visit www.touchstonesnelson.ca.

Travel without travel at Oxygen Art Centre

The month of July at Oxygen Art Centre, #3320 Vernon St. (alley entrance) Oxygen Art Centre’s July Artist-inResidence project and media installation is a new trans-Atlantic collaboration called travelfreetravel. This virtual tourist exchange is the innovative work of Bernardine Carroll in Limerick, Ireland and Maggie Shirley in Nelson. Together they are creating an unconventional travel agency that will convoy their participants on fanciful adventures through space and time. This multi-disciplinary project involves a diverse array of media ranging from the technical tools of Skype and video links to more direct formats of hand-building, public interaction and conversation. Through working with dual spaces, live streaming and projections of residents into one another’s towns and favourite tourist destinations, Bernardine and Maggie will take their tourists to real and imagined places.

Weight-bearing exercise key to avoiding osteoporsis Osteoporosis is commonly known by its key symptoms of low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue. According to Osteoporosis Canada (OC), 1.4 million Canadians suffer from this brittle-boned disease. Generally twice as many women suffer from osteoporosis as compared to men. In both sexes it is more common once over the age of 50, however, it can occur at any age. This disease does not develop quickly or noticeably. Generally, one will lose bone mass over several years without noticing any signs or symptoms. This is why it is useful to know what the risk factors are for osteoporosis and how one can prevent it with diet and exercise. OC claims that some of the major risk factors for osteoporosis are: age 65 or older, history of fractures, long-term use of certain medications (such as prednisone, heparin and anti-con-

help you to determine if the test (that involves a small amount of radiation) is necessary based on the amount of risk factors involved in your individual case. More important than identification though is prevention of bone density loss as well as maintenance of bone mass. The most important ways of maintaining healthy bones is through weight-bearing exercises and a diet rich in calcium. Weight-bearing exercises include such activities as walking, jogging and dancing. Exercise is especially important during childhood while bones are still growing.

THE HEALTH PAGES Quinoa salad: An easy, nutritious food option My favourite lunch in the summer is this quinoa salad. I got hooked on it last year and this year I have been making it from the time the first oregano sprigs made an appearance in my garden. It’s a make-ahead salad that gets better with time, so it’s perfect for work lunches. I make all kinds of variations, alternating between a

garlicky dressing and a light flavoured dressing, sometimes using a bottled dressing. Every once in a while I use leftover brown rice or wheat berries instead of the quinoa. Wheat berries make an excellent base for a salad. If you have the time, and the forethought, try this salad with wheat berries, they are delicious.

My quinoa salad: 1 cup quinoa 1 1/2 cups water 1 medium carrot, diced 1/2 red bell pepper, diced 4 green onions, finely chopped 10 cherry tomatoes, halved 1/2 cup cucumber, diced 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese

4 green diced 1/3 cup seeds 2 Tbsp. thyme 2 Tbs. oregano

olives, finely raw sunflower minced fresh minced

fresh

Dressing: Juice of 1 lemon 1/4 cup olive oil 1 tsp honey 1 clove garlic, finely minced.

Put the quinoa and the water in a saucepan with a lid. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer around 10 minutes, until the water is absorbed. In the meantime, assemble the rest of the salad ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk the dressing ingredients together. When the quinoa is cooked, remove it from the heat and set aside

HOMES & GARDENS Keep your garage warm all year

I like to tinker in the garage throughout the winter months. The walls and ceiling are insulated but the garage is still kind of cold. I suspect it could be due to the garage door. The door is a metal un-insulated type. I’ve checked out prices for a new insulated door and I am wondering if there are any other alternatives before I buy a new door? Your suspicions about the garage door are right, as there would be excessive heat loss from that type of door. If there are no other problems with your garage door at this time then it may be beneficial to insulate the door to retain some of the heat. However

Home Front

Bill Lynch, Paul Muntak & Dale Olinyk

with that being said the insulated type doors are well worth their money. These doors are made with multiple R-values meaning there are some that insulate better than others. They also have a weather-strip or gasket installed between the panels to help keep out the cold air when the door is closed. The cost of these new doors may not be in your budget yet but there are some things that you can do in the meantime to help retain some heat in the garage. Try adding some rigid Styrofoam insulation to the panels. Cut the Styrofoam so it fits into the frame of the panel (some shaping and forming of the Styrofoam will

be required for a perfect fit). Once the Styrofoam is fitted to the panel, use the appropriate adhesive to attach the Styrofoam to the door panel. Then install a foam type gasket or weather-strip between each door panel. As an alternative to the Styrofoam type insulation you could use a foil-backed type of fiberglass insulation. This type of insulation would bring the cost down, however you may not achieve the same insulation values as a rigid Styrofoam. Also, install the weather-strip or gasket material between the panels to help keep your garage a warm and cozy place.
