Property Restraint Order The Slocan Valley has been the subject of yet another cooperative enforcement effort by the Nakusp and Slocan Lake Detachments to combat illicit drug activity in the Slocan Valley. Officers sought and obtained a Property Restraint Order, issued by a B.C. Supreme Court Judge in the Vancouver Registry, for a property that contained a commercial marijuana grow operation. The accused and property owner has been formally charged for offences stemming from the judicially-authorized search of his property on Feb. 3, 2012. It is alleged that the accused was operating a commercial-style marijuana grow operation comprised of 396 plants, and that he was in unlawful possession of a shotgun. The Property Restraint Order prevents the property owner from selling or transferring interest in the property and from doing anything that could depreciate the value of the prop-
erty until the criminal matter is dealt with in court. The order also gives interim control and management of the property to the Seized Property Management Directorate (SPMD) of the Public Works and Government Services Canada. Depending on the outcome of the criminal case, the trial judge may forfeit the property, wholly or partially, to the Crown. This is the fourth property to be restrained in recent years in the Slocan Valley. In two of the matters, a judge ordered forfeiture of the properties, wholly in one case and partially in another, as offencerelated property. The other two matters are before the courts and, upon the completion of the criminal proceedings, applications will be made for the forfeiture of these properties as well. Police will be continuing with drug enforcement as this is a priority for the detachment and the RCMP. Cst. Shaun Foley Slocan Lake Detachment Phone (250) 358-2222
Nelson Chapter of the Canadian Federation of University Women celebrates 45 years
Recently, The Nelson Chapter of the Canadian Federation of University Women celebrated their 45th anniversary of being a vibrant organization in Nelson. The Nelson CFUW chapter is very active in many areas of life supporting women in Nelson. The CFUW Fellowship and Awards program supports women’s access to higher education to carry out their educational mandate. The CFUW membership promotes equality
for women and girls, and supports quality education and lifelong learning. Advocating locally, provincially, nationally and globally, CFUW encourages dialogue between its members and governments at all levels as a way to effect positive change. They speak of “Our right to speak and the responsibility to act”.So it was with pride and joy that they celebrated their 45th anniversary of being active in Nelson.
Free neighbourhood mediation program takes next step Last weekend, fourteen enthusiastic and committed volunteers went through a three-day training sessions put on by Transition Nelson Society and the Mir Centre for Peace at Selkirk College. The intensive workshop included training in mediation techniques and lots of practice. The program is designed to help neighbours in the city of Nelson to become better acquainted and resolve minor disputes. A protocol is also expected to be established for referrals from city staff. In addition to strength-
ening the social fabric and easing some of the burden on Nelson’s by-law officers, the initiative will develop conflict resolution skills among volunteers and referrals alike. “We launched this program to meet an important need in our community and help our community members appreciate our interdependence,” said Dr. Andre Piver. Dr. Piver is a volunteer participant, as well as a board member for Transition Nelson. “With high energy prices, ever-increasing demands on local government, economic uncertainty and climate change
affecting global food supplies, it is vital and richly rewarding that we can turn to each other for help.” The Transition Nelson volunteers and the Mir Centre for Peace will complete the details of how people can sign up for mediation help in the next few weeks, and expect to launch the program in full by the end of May. Transition Nelson has applied for funding for the program through the Columbia Basin Trust’s Community Initiatives Program. See www.transitionnelson.org. for more details.

The passage of whales at the Nelson Library Exhibit on display at the Nelson Public Library through April and May It’s a love affair that first began in the south of France, but it’s a romance of a different kind. The romance is Virginie Baysse’s passion for photography that was first ignited on that Mediterranean shore. Since then, the Nelson photographer’s work has been exhibited in France, Montreal, and the Kootenays. Her series Les baleines des Escoumins is on display at the Nelson Public Library through April and May. Says Baysse, “In this magic place of the north coast of Québec, on the Saint-Laurent River, whales such as Minkes, Fins, and Humpbacks have been caressing the shore on their
migratory journey for thousands of years.” Baysse’s photographic eye captures the subtle shapes and colours in tidal pools and rock formations that pay homage to these awe-inspiring marine mammals. The magic is reflected in a series of photographic landscape images that honour the impressions left by their passage. Baysse was educated in France in psychology and education and has since embraced studies in visual arts, art therapy, and other disciplines in Québec. She sees photography as a way to explore and share the earth’s stories.

While there may not seem to be much connection between a ripening apricot and the practice of yoga, a new book by the spiritual director of Yasodhara Ashram makes the link between the two clear.
Living the Practice, Collected Writings on the Transformative Potential of Yoga draws on Swami Radhananda’s 30 years as a yoga teacher and her rich experiences as a mother and educator. She presents yoga not as the esoteric art of a few flexible people, but as an everyday spiritual practice that can play a role in anyone’s life at a business meeting, while driving in traffic, cooking or gardening. Swami Radhananda will read from the book and there will be group discussions, followed by tea. All are welcome.

Changing Beer Levels: Magic or Science? dr. science Christine Humphries
A reader wrote to me asking for a scientific explanation for a phenomenon he has observed in his home-brew beer. He told me that he has a 10-gallon carboy of beer with an airlock seal and that the “level of beer has been rising and lowering noticeably some days.” Although there is a very small possibility that it is a “magical carboy that sometimes can endlessly produce more beer,” there is a more likely scientific explanation for the rising
and falling beer levels. The expansion and contraction of the beer is most likely due to fluctuations in temperature. As the temperature rises, the atoms in a liquid move faster and take more room. Since the beer in the carboy probably cannot push against the sides of the carboy, it moves up and the carboy appears fuller. The reverse happens when the temperature lowers, the atoms move less quickly, take less room and it appears as though the amount of beer has decreased in the carboy. I spoke to Gerri Lee Brundage, former owner of the Wine Kitz store on Front Street in Nelson. She
told me that it is normal to see the beer level drop because gas is released during fermentation. She had never heard of a “magical carboy” that increases beer levels, but agreed that fluctuations in the temperature of the carboy’s environment are the most likely explanation. She also suggested that placing a large item next to a carboy on a shelf may alter the shape of the carboy and make it look like there is more or less liquid inside. In the end, whether it is magic or science, the most important thing is that the beer tastes good!

Publisher’s note The Civic Theatre proposal deadline should be extended The City has set a deadline of May 31st for requests for proposals for the Civic Theatre. I do not believe that this short deadline best serves our community. While this may be sufficient time for an experienced profit-making company to come up with good looking proposals, our community organizations (Squash Court,
Movie Theatre, Climbing Wall and other interests) will not have the experience nor time to present a responsible wellresearched community-based proposal. I believe City Council must give direction to the City Administration, as City Administration is in charge of the deadlines. City Council must ask administration to extend the deadline for a year as this will give the community an opportunity to come up with a proposal. I think it is important for there to be a “pow wow” between those people who want a movie theatre, the squash court

The purpose of this meeting would be to hear each other’s points of view with open hearts and with the intent to work together to come up with a multiuse solution that approaches satisfying everyone. The responsibility for setting up this group should come from council and a councillor should be on the committee. I do not know how everyone will work together, but I realize that only by sitting down and helping each other can we help ourselves.

Last week’s survey responses
Old age pension being raised to 67
25% of our survey responses agree with the change, while 75% disagree IT is corporate greed and the stupidity of the big C and little c, conservative agendas that are the real issue for our revenue challenged B.C. and Canadian governments. Tax the corporations and we would all be in better shape: public education, OAS, health care, etc. So the only correct statement in the survey question is “the current model is unsustainable,” and to me it is the current governments - no imagination and voodoo economics makes a mess for everyone.
FEWER people will retire at an earlier age because of this; fewer younger people will get those jobs, and the economy will end up suffering for it. Politicians don’t care; they get an amazing pension anyway and don’t really need an old age pension. I won’t be able to retire at 62 as planned; I will be 64 now. Too bad for those younger people in my profession coming behind me. CREATING another source of stress for our most fragile. Pick on someone your own size!
I do not think that there should be a pension at all. Imgine if naturally, because of the goodness of our hearts, we took care of each other through thick and thin? I do not blame the government for having to rethink this scenario, they have to do something. WHY not claw back the OAS eligibility ceiling from the current $120,000? The seniors who do not have savings or RRSP’s are being penalized when those with more ‘wealth’ could do without.
IT is so unreasonable when you see how the perks are going for Government Officials. Old people are not very popular, and YES I am one MANY people are not physically able to work past 65. Are we setting up people to be injured on the job? Further, folks on social services would continue to receive less income than OAS would provide a cruel step. There is Federal government misspending that should be curbed, rather than attacking the elderly.

Opinion&Editorial
Last week’s survey responses
Old age pension being raised to 67
MANY people with good paying jobs should have managed their money so they could retire early to open up jobs for young people. Too many employees such as teachers stay working after retirement making it difficult for young qualified teachers to get work. For those that can afford it, quit early, relax, spend your money keep the economy going, volunteer if you need something to do. MANY people will not qualify for maximum Canada Pension when they turn 65. I didn’t and I have worked since I was 14-years-old. (Different century - I know!!) It is extremely hard to save money for an RRSP when you need your money to just live and pay the exorbitant rents, especially in Nelson, which is becoming a retreat for only the wealthy - just like Whistler. THE body begins to cave - we don’t want people to be forced to wait until they feel beaten down
IT’S utterly ridiculous to be expecting fewer ‘young’ people to pay/sustain a population of ever-increasing retirees. The real problem lies not in penalising the young who already doubt if there will be any retirement monies available when it’s their turn. Instead, we should focus on providing secure lockedin guaranteed saving vehicles that pay more than the current inflation rate. MP’s have it pretty sweet. How is it that they are guaranteed a return on ‘investment’ considerably higher than that of inflation without even contributing to their own retirement funds in the first place? Oh that’s right... the taxpayer. They’re expected to make up the difference. No no no, this thinking has to stop. The tax payers’ pockets are not endless as the government is slowly starting to figure out. Instead let’s find ‘real’ solutions; real rates of return that are sustainable. Why are there no government investment firms that,

like venture capitalists, look to beat the index or better yet, beat the inflation rates? There are no proactive measures to use the capital at hand to create more. Instead the motto is still ‘Well, we can always get more capital from the taxpayer’. I say nay! Our government has stopped being responsible. It has stopped ‘thinking’ rationally and definitely isn’t thinking ‘outside the box.’ These traits are required if we are to weather the real storm. Raising the Old Age Security to 67 only punishes those that are already doubtful about retirement. What is the government going to do in 10 years? Raise the age to 69? Then 71? Its ridiculously short-minded. AS much as I hate to agree with the Conservatives, this is a necessary move. I’m young enough that this will affect me when the time comes, but a pension at 65 is simply not sustainable with our age shifting demographic.
Dear Editor, I think raising the Pension age to 67 is a good thing, because it will give the opposition parties a perfect platform in the next election, and hopefully lead to the defeat of the Regressive Conservative Party. As a reasonable Canadian, I might be convinced that this cost saving measure was necessary if they weren’t spending like drunken sailors to buy us new first strike attack jets,
CANADA Pension is not being raised to 67... Old age security is... it will send old people who cannot afford the delay (it is also tied in to the guranteed income supplement) to welfare lines. Thanks for nothing Harper!!! I am sure your oil rich companies need the subsidies more than the average citizen...I am sure we have the money to spare for the fighter jets billion dollar over budget purchase...!!! Get the money from the senior citizens, we are dying off anyway, so you can not count on our votes in the future!!! That must explain it!!! I will be affected by this change, and I don’t like it. But I’d rather work an extra two years than have no pension at all. I’d love to hear a better option. THERE is Federal government misspending that should be curbed, rather than attacking the elderly.

Phillip John Garth Collins It is with great sadness that we announce that Garth,our loving husband and father passed away quietly on April 9, 2012 in Nelson, B.C.after a long struggle with front temporal lobe degeneration. Born in Trail, B.C. on January 4, 1942 to Amy and Harry Collins, Garth was the eldest of 8 children. He attended elementary school in Fruitvale and J.L. Crowe High School in Trail. Garth graduated with a B.Sc. in Forestry at the University of British Columbia. After working in Victoria and Duncan BC as a forestry consultant, Garth returned to the Kootenays and taught forestry at Selkirk College in Castlegar for over 25 years. He was a quiet, patient man who was always generous and thoughtful. Garth loved music. He played the guitar and the fiddle with the Old Time Fiddlers and The Quarter Notes, and founded the Kootenay #9 Workshop for the BC Old Time Fiddlers. It’s been ten years now and this workshop continues to flourish attracting more students every year. When we moved to Nelson in 2003, he became involved with the local Blue Grass group. His passion for the outdoors is reflected in his love of fishing, hiking, skiing, golfing and sailing. While living on an acreage in Passmore we raised sheep, chickens, pigs, grew a large garden and
enjoyed maintaining the property. During summers we travelled across Canada, Europe, and down the Oregon coast. After retirement we spent a year in Japan and later took a number of cruises. Garth is survived by his wife Grace Devaux, and children Quentin, Melanie, and Keiko. He is also survived by his mother Amy Collins, and his siblings Shirley (Don)Taylor, Alayne (Leo)Matzner, Karen (Bill) Duncan, Howard (Shauna)Collins, Chris (Brenda)Collins. He will also be dearly missed by his large extended family. The family would like to thank Mountain Lakes, Broader Horizons, and all his care-workers who cared for Garth with so much compassion during his last few years. I would also like to thank Dr. Trevor Janz and Cristina Lidstone for their special efforts. In honour of Garth, a short service and celebration of life followed by a potluck will be held at the Passmore Hall, 3656 Passmore Old Road at 10:30 am on Saturday April 14th. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration at www.theaftd. org or sent to AFTD Radnor Station Bld 2, Suite 320 290 King of Prussia Rd. Radnor, PA 19087 Online condolences may be expressed at www.thompsonfs.ca.
