New inland ferry being constructed for Upper Arrow Lake Construction of a new ferry for the Upper Arrow Lake route will create local employment and ensure that this safe and reliable transportation service continues for West Kootenay families, businesses and visitors. The government of British Columbia has awarded a $26.5-million contract to WaterBridge Steel Inc. of Prince George to construct a new ferry for the 30-minute crossing between Shelter Bay and Galena Bay. It will be built in Nakusp, and provide employment opportunities for approximately 65 people for up to two years. The new vessel will be drive-on,

drive-off, open-decked, and capable of transporting 80 cars and 250 passengers. It will have a larger vehicle and weight capacity, and faster loading and unloading times, which eliminates the need for an auxiliary ferry during the peak travel season. “This project will provide good jobs for skilled tradespeople in British Columbia. The fact that a British Columbia company was the successful bidder in this competitive process shows that we do have the expertise here to design and build vessels to serve the travelling public,” says Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Blair

Get hooked on free fishing this Father’s Day weekend Saturday June 16 and Sunday June 17 at Cottonwood Lake (Highway 3, just outside Nenlson on route to ymir. Sponsored by the Nelson Rod and Gun Club. For more information contact Richard Green at 250-352-5609 Aspiring and experienced anglers alike can cast their lines for free this Father’s Day weekend, as part of the 13th Annual Free Family Fishing Weekend. This year’s celebration runs from June 15 to 17, and allows Canadian families to fish for free in most freshwater lakes and non-tidal streams anywhere in B.C. on all three days. With 47 different events planned in communities across the province, families have a wonderful opportunity to learn how to fish and explore our beautiful recreation sites. These events are supported by the Family Fishing Weekend Society, which provides financial assistance and materials, including fishing gear. The Freshwater Fisheries Society stocks 800 lakes and streams with more than eight million fish each year. Throughout the prov-

ince, hundreds of knowledgeable volunteers will share their advice and passion for fishing with all who attend. Families planning to fish at a location outside of a sponsored event listed on the Family Fishing Society of BC’s website are advised that people fishing for species requiring a conservation surcharge stamp or on classified waters will still need to purchase these supplementary licences. For information on these few exceptions, please consult page 61 of the 2011-13 Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis, available online at: http://www. env.gov.bc.ca/fw/fish/regulations/ For more details and a list of communities where family fishing events are being held, visit: www.bcfamilyfishing.com.

Lekstrom. “It is great news that the new ferry will be constructed in the Village of Nakusp. A project of this size will have a positive effect on our local economy. This will provide our businesses and residents the opportunity to showcase our spectacular scenery and unlimited recreational activities,” says Mayor of Nakusp, Karen Hamling.

Death in Single vehicle incident On Wednesday morning June 6, 2012, at approximately 8 a.m., the Slocan Lake RCMP received a report of a vehicle driving into Slocan Lake at the Slocan City Boat Launch. Local Fire Department, Ambulance, RCMP as well as Search and Rescue responded. A car was located submerged in the lake, down from the Boat Launch. A local tow truck was utilized to recover the vehicle, however, it was unoccupied. Further searches of the surrounding lake area were conducted. A body was later located under the wharf, about 6 - 8 feet below the water’s surface. (The wharf is beside and runs parallel to the boat launch).

The body was then recovered but unfortunately deceased at the scene. Witnesses have confirmed with the RCMP that the deceased was the only occupant of the vehicle when the car went into the lake. The deceased is a local 76year-old male. The name of the deceased is not being released at this time pending notification of next of kin. The B.C. Coroner’s Service and RCMP are continuing to investigate the occurrence. Staff Sergeant Dan SEIBEL Operations N.C.O. Kootenay Boundary Regional Detachment

Help prevent the spread of zebra mussels into the Kootenays Clean. Drain. Dry. These simple steps will prevent zebra mussels and other aquatic invasive species from spreading into the waterways of the Kootenays. Aquatic invasive species, such as zebra mussels, Eurasian water-milfoil and New Zealand mudsnails have devastating impacts where they are introduced. They can ruin fishing and recreational opportunities, alter aquatic habitat for plants and animals, and block water intake structures for hydro power. “Our waters are precious” says Margaret Hartley of the Slocan Lake Stewardship Society (SLSS). “We use them for recreation, drinking, and power generation. Zebra mussel infestations would affect all of us. It could mean anything from

higher hydro bills for all of us, or taking the kids to the beach and finding nothing but a smelly bed of dead mussels.” Aquatic invasive species hitch rides on boats, equipment, fishing waders, and other gear to spread into new water bodies. If there is a place for water to collect, there is a chance that zebra mussels or other invasive species may be transported. Boats heading for B.C. that have zebra mussel stowaways have been stopped at checkpoint stations in Idaho and Washington; however, there are currently no checkpoints for boaters coming from Eastern Canada. Luckily, zebra mussels have not been detected in B.C. waters yet although early detection monitoring activities for the species has been very limited in B.C.

With funding from the Columbia Basin Trust and FortisBC, and in partnership with SLSS and the Province of BC, the CKIPC is installing signs at boat launches on Slocan Lake and associated waterways

to remind users to Clean, Drain, and Dry. For more information, or if you would like to sponsor a sign, contact CKIPC at 250-352-1160 or see www. kootenayweeds.com. Submitted

Selkirk College celebrates Teck Metals Ltd. and art Selkirk College celebrated Teck Metals Trail Operation’s contribution to the Aboriginal Gathering Place, Thursday, May 31. Carol Vanelli Worosz, Communications Manager for Teck Metals Ltd., in Trail, accepted a hand-crafted metal art sculpture commissioned from B.C. Aboriginal artist, Clint George, in recognition of Teck’s $50,000.00 donation in support of the completion of the Aboriginal Gathering Place on the Castlegar campus. Clint George, a member of the Penticton Indian Band in the Okanagan, has been crafting metal art as a career for six years. His father, Grant, taught him how to weld when he was a young teen and together they run a business named Iron Indian. Clint considers creating artwork for others an honour because he becomes informed about culture, places and stories. The art piece that Selkirk College commissioned for Teck is representative of the relationship between the college and the company, and

is portrayed in the form of a shield. The scene in the shield represents the rivers and mountains in which the college is located. The eagle represents knowledge and protection, which is welded on a red background that represents strength and courage. George accepted the com-

mission in March and attended the open house on May 31 to deliver the piece himself. Selkirk College is honoured to partner with a community supporter such as Teck Metals Ltd., in a project that is beneficial to the health, welfare, and cultural experience of students attending

the college. The Aboriginal Gathering Place represents a welcoming and educational environment for students and will be completed for the 2012 fall semester. -Submitted by Selkirk College

Local church donates farmland for the Food Cupboard Good things are growing on Granite Road. The Nelson Food Cupboard is excited to announce a new partnership with Morning Glory Farm and Gardens. Earlier this spring ,local grower Sebastian Ellis began preparing gardens on land provided by the Seventh-day Adventist Church at 1502 Granite Road. So far, Ellis and other church members have built seven raised beds and they intend to farm a quarter acre of land this year. Ellis plans to use to the gardens supply fresh produce to the Nelson Food Cupboard. Concerns about local food security inspired Ellis to start the project. “I want everybody to be taken care of. I think people deserve to have healthy, organic food,” says Ellis. To fulfill this mission, Ellis is planning a three-year project that will recruit other churches with unused land

to grow vegetables, fruits and nuts. Squash, green beans, carrots and potatoes are some of the vegetable crops Ellis plans to donate to the Food Cupboard this year. The Nelson Food Cupboard is a non-profit food bank that strives to provide customers with a variety of healthy food options. The Food Cupboard encourages local growers to donate excess fruits and vegetables. If needed, the Food Cupboard�s Harvest Rescue volunteers can help bring in the harvest. �We owe our existence to the generous support of the local community. Each year we receive thousands of dollars’ worth of donated produce. Donations of fresh fruit and vegetables help us stretch our food dollars further,” explains Food Cupboard Coordinator Anna Kirkpatrick.

In the long term, Ellis hopes to expand the garden to two or more acres. For now, she is working hard to keep up with farm work and fund raising. Ellis intends to host occasional community work parties

during the growing season. For more information contact the Nelson Food Cupboard: 250-354-1633/ foodcupboard@shawbiz.ca or Morning Glory Farm and Gardens: 250-777-2189.

If an election were held today, who would you vote for? Click here or visit the link below www.surveymonkey.com/s/Canada_Election

Last week’s survey responses:

Are you in favour of free post-secondary education?

I don’t think post-secondary education should be free, but I think there should be more assistance in the form of no-interest or extremely low interest loans, grants and scholarships. Post-secondary education is not a right to be taken for granted and paid for by the taxpayers; it is an opportunity that should be earned and valued. P O S T- S E C O N D A R Y education is a necessity in the world of today, just as free elementary and secondary schooling was necessary in the past, and was fought for and won. NOT free, but certainly more accessible. I don’t agree with paying taxes for others to train in a high paying career, however, I don’t think our current system is fair. In Australia you have the option to pay tuition upfront (for a discount) or to pay a percentage of your salary once you graduate and are receiving regular income. That to me is about as fair as we can get. WHY not make it free and perhaps allow for a raise in the mandatory age before quitting school. I think it should just be a lot cheaper. ANYTHING that is free gets abused.

NO Way. People place little value on things that are free. I am a post-secondary educator and see a huge difference between the commitment of students who are paying for their own education vs. those fully-supported by Mom and Dad. Tuition rates are reasonable as is, but student loans should be interest-free until a year after graduating and very low interest after that. P O S T- S E C O N D A R Y education is available for those who want it (not necessarily “university”). I lament the new “entitled” generation many of whom have not learned to apply themselves. As a “mature” student at university, I witnessed a large number of fellow students (not paying for themselves, or using student loans for their wants rather than their needs) who think they should party all night and squeak by to graduate. Then they expect pay commensurate with their education... completely ignoring the value of experience and maturity. “EDUCATION is more than a luxury; it is a responsibility that society owes to itself.” (Robin Cook) We haven’t acted very responsibly toward education and it’s time to get real. Our future depends on it.

NOTHING is free. Taxpayers pay for everything and we already pay too much taxes. NO but it should be much less expensive. HIGH costs of post secondary education are at the root of diverging class and socio-economic groups. We justify exorbitant salaries for certain work by creating exorbitant costs and debt from higher education needed to get those jobs. Let people study what interests them and what they are good at, then let them earn a modest salary and contribute to a more equitable society. I am in favour of reimbursing tuition to students who maintain a high gradepoint average, but I think that our post-secondary system needs to be revamped to determine who needs credentials and who doesn’t. Many jobs, which were formerly learned through experience now require post-secondary training. Employers need to step up and train their workers. It makes more sense to me to forgive student loans than it does to subsidize car manufacturers or banks. PERHAPS not free, but definitely more financially accessible to legitimate residents!

HIGHER education is essential for our society and our country to survive. It makes no sense to import workers when we have youth unemployed. One of the main problems is universities and colleges have become large bureaucratic messes. The tuition truth - how is taxpayers money being used at universities and colleges? I believe in an almost-free education. I strongly feel that the students are more committed if they contribute either with their time or minimal amount of money. Let’s learn from Sweden or other European countries. And in return, people are happy to pay taxes for services because they trust their government. Sorry! Perhaps the banks, the government and those private collection agencies will go bankrupt. Ha! INSTEAD of making students go heavily into debt, there needs to at least be a grant portion to the loans. I am in favour of free tuition so youth who come from families-in-need have more access to post-secondary education. Rural youth are also at a disadvantage because they have to move in order to access their education. (ie, add rent, food, and other living costs to their tuition costs.)

Ode to my father for Father’s Day

Page 7

By Nelson Becker

Dear dad, It has been a long time since I spoke with you. I wanted to many times. Your last words to me when I called you in the hospital still ring loudly to me. I still hear you answer my question with your reassuring words of being okay. When you were alive, I never felt I got to speak and listen to you enough. Distance was one reason me in Nelson and you in New York. And my own business was, and is, taking up much of my time. But there is no good excuse. Even though I was adopted by you, I never thought of you as anything other than my father. From you, I learned goodness and caring. From you, I learned to be inventive. I know you can hear me, because you still answer my questions, and because you still give me encouragement. I love you. - Nelson

By Sandra Hartline Commentary Threats to the peace and security of our world Dear Editor,

At its recent biennial conference in Castlegar at the Mir Centre for Peace, the B.C. Southern Interior Peace Coalition reviewed a range of threats to the peace and security of our world. Delegates unanimously endorsed: Bill C-363 (for conscientious objectors, to redirect/re-divert that portion of their taxes going to the Department of National Defence to peaceful purposes); Bill C-373 (calling for the establishment of a federal Department of Peace), the Occupy Nelson Movement and the stand of university students in Quebec against proposed increases in their tuition. Bill C-363 and Bill C-373 are both Private Members Bills put forward by Alex Atamanenko, Member of Parliament for the Southern Interior of British Columbia, and have received first reading in the House of Commons.

The B.C. Coalition is an association of diverse member groups in the Boundary, Kootenay and Okanagan regions of B.C. Guiding principles are based in equality, non-violence, social and economic justice, protection of the environment, and respectful communication to achieve peaceful solutions rather than resorting to violence. It is an avenue for sharing experiences, learning from those experiences and supporting each other’s work for a world free of violence and lived honouring, valuing and supporting all humanity and Mother Earth. Member groups also belong to the Canadian Peace Alliance. The B.C. Southern Interior Peace Coalition meets twice a year, usually in the spring and fall. For further information please contact coordinator Laura Savinkoff at 4peace@telus. net. Sincerely, Sandra Hartline For the B.C. Southern Interior Peace Coalition

Joseph Plasko passed away with his family by his side at Kootenay Lake Hospital, June 6, 2012 He is survived by his loving wife Lillian, his daughter Rita Shannon (Jim) of Abbotsford and son Neil (Michelle) of Kelowna. As well as his granddaughter Sherry Postnikoff of Maple Ridge and grandson Steven Joseph Plasko of Kelowna and Great Granddaughter Kahli Postnikoff of Maple Ridge. He was predeceased by his son Lonnie in 2007 Joe was born October 11, 1928 in Bremen Saskatchewan. He was the youngest of 6 children of John and Katalin Plasko. He was predeceased by his 3 brothers, Michael, Adam and John as well as his 2 sisters Mary and Annie. Joe had to end his formal education at the age of 12 as he was a big strong boy, and they needed his help on the family farm. In 1949 he married Lillian Blaseg, who lived 3⁄4 of a mile away and he then took over a section of his parents farm. In 1959 they took a trip to Vancouver Island to visit family. Their route took them through the Kootenay’s and Joe fell in love with the Nelson area. When a business opportunity presented itself in 1962, they packed up their 3 children, moved west and purchased the Blewett Store. Their store and house became a focal point for many of the neighbourhood children Within the year he also took on the Rural Route mail contracts of RR#2 and RR#3. He

really enjoyed travelling the scenic roads and interacting with the many friends he made along the routes. In 1975 they sold the store and Joe built his dream house on 5 acres below the store. He retired from the mail routes in 1989 and enjoyed his days tinkering around the property clearing brush and chopping wood. He created many miles of beautifully stacked woodpiles throughout the acreage. In 2002 they sold the property and moved into Nelson.As his mobility decreased he grew to love sitting looking out his big picture window at the view of Nelson and Elephant Mountain. He called it his “big Screen TV” Lillian has lost her “Bub” of 63 years and his grandchildren and extended family are mourning their “Papa Joe” His greatest joy in life was spending time with his family and he took such pride in all of them.. Joe was always fascinated with planes and took advantage of every opportunity to take a ride with local pilots. Once he moved into town he really enjoyed watching the planes flying in and out of Nelson Airport Joe will be remembered as a gentle and generous man. He was always there to lend a hand when anyone needed help. Although Joe was large in stature he was a very quiet and modest man and never liked to be the centre of attention, so in accordance with his wishes there will be no memorial service. In memorium donations can be sent to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC & Yukon Thank you to Dr. Lee, Dr. Murray, Rivka and all the home care workers who took such good care of Joe for the last 2 years. He is now pain free and at peace after suffering for the last few years with heart disease. God Bless Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Thompson Funeral Service Ltd. On-line condolence may be expressed at www.thompsonfs.ca

Thomas Ainsworth Whitmore

It is with profound sadnessthatweannounce the passing of our wonderful husband, father, grandfather and greatgrandfather, Thomas Ainsworth Whitmore on Sunday June 10, 2012 at Castleview Care Hospital. Tom was born December 21st, 1923 in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan. He was the last survivor of 7 siblings. He met his to be wife Dorothy Paysen in Moose Jaw where they married May 14, 1949. He came to British Columbia in 1953 with his wife and then two small children, Carol and Allen. In 1962, and after the birth of two more children, Janice and Brian, moved to North Bend, BC and then moved to Calgary, Alberta in 1963. Tom’s love of the outdoors resulted in him accepting yet another move with the Canadian Pacific Railway back to Nelson in 1968 where soon after, Wayne, the fifth and final child was born.

After attending Moose Jaw’s Technical School, Tom went to the CPR where he spent 42 years working as either an electrician or electrical foreman before retiring in 1980. His electrical career has passed on to sons and grandsons. His family was his world and his wife of 63 years was the love of his life. Tom‘s free hours were spent with family and friends in the outdoors either camping, fishing or hunting. His love of gardening kept his family in fresh vegetables and fruit wherever they lived. Tom will be sadly missed by his wife Dorothy, daughters Carol (Bill), Janice (Sid), and three sons Allen (Diane), Brian (Barb), and Wayne (Barb) and his 10 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. A memorial service was held at Thompson Funeral Chapel June 14, 2012 with Pastor Ann Pollack officiating. Cremation has taken place and interment was at the Nelson cemetery. At the family’s request, in lieu of flowers donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in Tom’s name would be appreciated.
