Two fires: Kootenay Lake Hospital, South Sheppard Drive
Tuesday, May 22 at 8:57 p.m. he Nelson Fire Department responded to a report of smoke on the third floor of Kootenay Lake Hospital. Both on duty members responded immediately to assess the situation. Upon arrival of the first crew, a strong odour of smoke was evident in the third floor hallway with the smell stronger in a room at the end of the hallway. An additional crew was called in to respond and assist with locating the source of the smoke. Hospital staff initiated an evacuation of the adjoining room and assisted with locating the problem. The source of the smoke was determined to be a ballast that failed in an older light fixture. Wednesday, May 23 at 1:21 a.m., the Nelson Fire Department responded to a report of a squatter’s cabin on fire just off of South Sheppard Drive. Both on duty members responded immediately with three additional members responding from home. Upon arrival of the first crew,
the lone occupant of the cabin was waiting on the road and the cabin was fully involved with fire. The first arriving crew’s primary objective was to ensure that everyone was out of the structure. EHS was requested to assess the occupant. He was assessed and did not require any additional treatment. Fire suppression activities were hampered as the location of the structure was approximately three hundred feet up the hill, off of the road, with poor access. As there are no fire hydrants in the area the water tender truck also responded to ensure that there was enough water to extinguish the fire. The RCMP also responded and were able to provide assistance to the individual. The fire is reported to have originated on the roof of the cabin. The recent wet weather prevented the fire from spreading to the surrounding forest. No injuries were reported as a result of this incident. The structure is a complete lost. The cause of the

Police News: drugs, donation jar theft, threats, assault On Saturday, May 18 an officer of the Nelson Police Department noticed a pedestrian at the Park and Ride in Highway 3A contravening the Motor Vehicle Act. The officer stopped and engaged the male in a conversation. As the male was accused of being in contravention he was obliged by law to identify himself to the officer. The male verbally identified himself, but as he did the officer noticed that the man was very nervous. The male did not produce any of the common forms of identification such as a driver’s license. The officer became suspicious that the male was not being truthful and had supplied a false name. After further investigation the officer was able to correctly identify the male as a United States citizen who was unlawfully in Canada. The investigation revealed that the male had previously been deported from Canada. The Nelson Police officer contacted the Canadian Border Service Agency (CBSA) and sought their services. The male was held in custody under Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. The male is now facing possible criminal charges of obstructing a police officer and possession of a controlled substance. He was turned over to CBSA and may now face deportation. As a result of a routine traffic stop on Saturday, May 18 officers of the Nelson Police Department made a drug seizure from a local man. While patrolling on Stanley Street an officer noticed a
passenger riding in a vehicle without wearing his seat belt. The vehicle was stopped and as the officer investigated the seat belt infraction he developed grounds to launch a drug investigation. The passenger of the vehicle was subsequently arrested for possession of marijuana. Further investigation resulted in the officer discovering a number of pills believed to be morphine and numerous small plastic bags containing an unidentified powdered substance. The amount of drugs located in the possession of the male led the officer to believe that the drugs were destined for sale. The local man may now be facing numerous drug charges including possession and trafficking allegations. On Monday, May 20 the Nelson Police Department received a 911 call from the staff at Valhalla Pure Outfitters store on Baker Street. Staff reported that a male had absconded with a donation jar from a shelf within the store. The store staff offered an accurate description of the male that had stolen the donation jar. Police responded to the area searching for a distinctive male that had been followed by a Valhalla employee. The officers located the male nearby. The employee had recovered the jar and was standing by to assist police. A local man, well known to police, was taken into custody without a struggle. When the officers interviewed the employee he stated that the suspect had taken the donation jar from the store inside
a bag. When the employee confronted the man, they struggled over the jar. Even though the gig was up, the suspect tried to keep the ill obtained booty. The Nelson Police would like to remind the citizens of Nelson that apprehending suspects does come with risks. We urge citizens to call police and provide succinct, accurate information to assist police. Those inclined to engage in citizen’s arrest should be familiar with the law allowing such arrests and be aware of the risks. The citizen powers of arrest section of the Criminal Code of Canada have recently been changed. On the evening of Monday, May 20 two officers of the Nelson Police Department came across a local man that was wanted for criminal harassment. Police had reason to believe that the male had repeatedly been taunting a Nelson man over the past few days. As soon as the male saw the police officers he fled on foot along Baker Street. The officers gave chase in police vehicles and on foot coordinating their effort to arrest the man. As the suspect ran along the sidewalk he doffed his hat, necklaces, glasses and in time, all of his clothing. The officers eventually engaged the naked,

sweating and spitting male in the 400 block of Baker Street and completed the arrest. The male was taken into custody and continued to surprise the officers with his unpredictable and unconventional actions. With the assistance of Nelson Mental Health the male was delivered to the appropriate health care providers. The male now faces charges of criminal harassment and resisting arrest. During the late evening of Monday, May 20 an adult male, well known to Nelson police, arrived crashing, yelling and swearing into the lobby of the Nelson Police Department carrying a 7 foot long metal pole. The male was out of breath as he explained to the officers that he was being chased by a gang with knives. Officers swung into action and located and interviewed four teen aged local youth, along with the male that had charged into the police department. The ensuing investigation resulted in the adult male being arrested for sex assault, two counts of uttering threats, possession of a weapon dangerous to the public peace and failure to comply with conditions of an undertaking. The man is due to appear in court on May, 22. submitted by the Nelson Police Department

Why does a glass of tap-water taste different after it has been sitting around? dr. science Christine Humphries
If you have ever gotten up during the night to finish off a glass of water you poured before going to bed, you may have noticed that the water tastes very different after a few hours of sitting around. To find out why the taste of Nelson’s tapwater may alter over time, I spoke to Gil Bogaard the Utilities Superintendent for Nelson’s City Works department. He explained
that, whereas in some larger municipalities the drinking water is filtrated or treated with aluminium to remove suspended materials, the drinking water in Nelson is not treated to remove these small particulates. Therefore, a glass of Nelson tap-water may contain organic materials that react with air and release gasses that alter the taste of the water over time. Does this mean Nelson’s water is dirty? Of course not. Mr. Bogaard continued to explain that Nelson
residents drink surface water from 5 Mile Creek. The creek water is collected in a reservoir at Mountain Station, located at the top of Gore Street. The reservoir holds 5 million imperial gallons of water (about 23 million litres), which is roughly 2.5 days worth of storage for the city of Nelson. Most of the suspended materials in the water settle to the bottom of the reservoir. The water is next injected with approximately 1.5 parts per million of
chlorine gas to kill microorganims in the water. The water then sits between 100 and 180 minutes in a contact chamber before being distributed because how well chlorine disinfects water is dependent on how long it is in contact with microorganisms. The time in the contact chamber gives the chlorine enough time to kill even chlorine-resistant organisms such as giardia, a microscopic parasite that causes severe diarrhea. So enjoy your glass of clean Nelson tap-water!

damaged items that cannot be salvaged and thoroughly dry fixed items like cabinets to avoid mould growth. Your clean-up contractor will have large vacuums and dryers to help in this process. Check for mould growth behind wallpaper, wall cavities, under wood subfloors, bottoms wood
framed walls and crawl spaces. If you find mould growth advise your contractor who will safely remove it. Make sure all cleaning and repairs have been completed thoroughly and to your satisfaction before you advise your insurance agent that the work is complete.

Big grant awarded to little Slocan Library The Slocan Community Library is the delighted recipient of a significant grant from IBM (International Business Machines). The library received a grant of $1,000 in 2011, and has now received an additional $3,000 for the 2012 grant year. Yuval Hager, library I.T. volunteer who works for IBM from his Slocan home, made it all possible. As an IBM employee, Yuval was eligible to apply for an IBM Community Initiatives grant to benefit the community in which he works, and made an
application on behalf of the library. As there are thousands of applications and not every application can be funded, library volunteers are surprised and pleased to have received a grant for the second year in a row. Yuval, and library volunteer co-ordinator Stu MacCuaig, worked on the proposal to develop a new media room for the library. IBM’s first grant in 2011 of $1,000 was to purchase shelving for the room. The $3,000 grant of 2012 is to purchase materials to put on those shelves. The entire amount will
be spent on non-fiction DVDs and talking-books on CD. The library’s media acquisition policy has emphasized purchase of non-fiction DVDs on local and regional history, do-ityourself instruction, arts and crafts, geography and travel, exercise and nutrition, social issues, and environmental concerns. photo submitted An important component consists of educational IBM employee, Yuval Hager, brings big media for children and grant to little Slocan library teens on bullying, drugs, suicide, family breakup, sells this important mateand peer pressure.

Curling coach honoured Curl BC awarded the Elsie McKenzie Award (Youth & Junior Curling Program Volunteer) to Nelson’s own Kelli May. May has coached the juniors at Nelson Curling Centre for over a decade, and continues to do so even after her own kids have

fall for the event, Annie’s Boutique at 601 Front Street in Nelson takes hair donations all year round. How does it work? Essentially, we’re encouraging people to donate their hair so it may be used for wigs for cancer patients. Your hair needs to be in a ponytail that is at least 8 inches long, and be free of permanent dyes, bleaches, and chemicals. If you are planning to donate your hair, please let your hairdresser know so they can secure it in a ponytail, measure it, and cut! If you or your hairdresser have any questions, please feel free to call us at 250-354-2000. Or,
you can wait until October and take it off with us! It takes 8 or more ponytails to create a wig, so you can encourage friends to donate their hair with you! Annie’s Boutique collects the ponytails and sends them to the Beautiful Lengths program. When the wigs are made, the Canadian Cancer Society gives them to those who has been affected by hair loss from cancer treatment, at no cost. By growing and donating your hair, you have the power to pass along a very meaningful gift to a woman undergoing treatment for cancer. submitted by Annie’s Boutique

Actors are ready for five performances of Cabaret
Thursday, May 30, 8 p.m., Friday May 31, 8 and 11 p.m. and Saturday, June 1, 2 and 8 p.m. at the Capitol Theatre in Nelson Tickets are selling quickly for one of the most successful shows in musical theatre history, Kander and Ebb’s Cabaret. Directed by Pat Henman, with musical direction by Rick Lingard and choreography by Mackenzie Hope, this production features some of nelson’s finest theatre professionals (Michael Graham, Lisel Forst, Sydney Black, Lisa Backus). Adapted from Christopher Isherwood’s 1939 novel Goodbye to Berlin, Cabaret debuted on Broadway in 1966; it became a hit, with a staggering 1,165 performances in its first run. The success of the show led to a film adaptation in 1972, starring Liza Minnelli and Michael York, which in turn was a huge success, winning eight Academy Awards in 1973. Tickets can be purchased in person at the Capitol Theatre or online at photo by Emilee Zaitsoff / electrifyphotography.com www.capitoltheatre.bc.ca Performers rehearse for song and dance in local production of Cabaret submitted by Black Productions
25 Years of the Capitol Theatre A dance down memory lane
Rory on the town by Rory Case
It was a celebration last Thursday evening at the Capitol theatre, as many members of the community came out for the historic venue’s 25th anniversary gala. The Capitol theatre first came to existence in 1927 primarily as a Paramount Pictures chain of movie houses, with occasional live performances from traveling theatre groups and local acts. Business boomed in the 30s as eager crowds attended regular cinema nights, which were often introduced by live routines. As the 40s and 50s approached, the Capitol Theatre shows lessened, and the space became run down. It needed major repairs to continue operation. By 1963 the once
roaring hot-spot was diminished to a hollow, leaky structure. Finally, after many years of no Capitol Theatre, a group of people saw the potential and need of such a facility and took matters into their own hands. The Capitol Theatre Restoration Society was formed in 1982 and by 1983 the City of Nelson had purchased the building. Over the next few years; funds were raised, grants were accessed, and many people put in hard work towards the restoration of the space. In the spring of 1988 the doors of the Capitol opened once again, looking more fabulous than ever before. A quarter of a century later, we came together to marvel at the continued community support and gratitude we have for this place. The Gala was classy: food, drink, cabaret, dances, songs, stories, comedy,
silent auction and so many familiar faces. It has been a wonderful 25 years and the gala’s turn out certainly proves it. Here’s to another 25!

Customer Loyalty What’s more important; money or customer loyalty? These days companies will do whatever they can to bring out the extra bucks and to monetize what ever they can? How is this good business? Just because someone can monetize everything doesn’t mean they should. Appeasing the customer should be the number one priority for any company, regardless of what it costs them. Customer loyalty assures the business that they will get more of it, it might be easier for a big business to shoo them away provided
that they can just get more business but repeat business is the best business. Repeat business proves that if a customer is happy with your product, they’ll come back for more. I’ve gotten in some heated arguments with some associates of mine regarding loyalty. Loyalty is great but when a company introduces a series of practices that are morally and ethically wrong you need to put your foot down and not pander down to blind consumerism. Feel free to do with your wallet what you choose, just use your head first and weigh the pros and cons.
