At Hamill Creek, the bridge and approaches were washed out and one home was swept downstream and another suffered damage to its foundation
Last week, heavy precipitation has caused structural damage to several homes on Hamill Creek north of Kaslo and impacted various other creeks throughout the region. Highway 31A was closed due to high water running across and a small number of campers at Glacier Creek were stranded.
Glacier Creek Park Regional Park on Duncan Lake is closed until further notice. The park could be closed for at least several weeks, or longer according to Cary Gaynor, Parks Operations Supervisor for the Regional District of Central Kootenay A number of small water
systems have been impacted or damaged. Water user groups have activated their emergency water plans. Several slides on area creeks have pushed debris into Kootenay Lake. Boaters are advised to exercise caution due to logs and debris. For up to date information visit www.rdck.bc.ca.

The West Arm Outdoors Club (WAOC) has finished re-decking the boat launch at Sunshine Bay on the West Arm of Kootenay Lake. The project was partially completed last year and finished in mid June through the collective efforts of club members. The work party finished the decking, re-anchored exterior floats and improved ramp access. All the lumber for the second phase of the project was donated by the local mill, Harrop-Procter Forest
Products (HPFP), which is part of the local community forest operations. The boat launch is maintained by the club and was donated to the Regional District of Central Kootenay as part of their Sunshine Bay Regional Park facilities. The club is progressing with its next project, re-establishing a fishing wharf at the site of the former Procter Wharf near the outlet to the main body of Kootenay Lake. Once com-
pleted, the fishing platform Wednesday evenings , 7 p.m. will be an integral part of at the Harrop Hall. All area the Outlet community. residents are invited to join. The West Arm Outdoors submitted by Club meets most months on Bilmac Communications

Fighting hunger through gardening education The Nelson Food Cupboard is growing solutions to hunger. The local nonprofit has launched a program that aims to address some of the root causes of food insecurity. The Food Skills Project is a skills training program targeted towards Food Cupboard customers and others who experience challenges accessing healthy food. The workshop series will cover a wide range of topics related to growing, preparing and preserving healthy
food. According to one workshop participant, “we all left feeling motivated and equipped to get into the garden.” Coordinator Anna Kirkpatrick explains “We see this program as a small step towards a future where emergency food services are no longer needed.” For more information, contact 250354-1633 or foodcupboard@shawbiz.ca submitted by the Nelson Food Cupboard

Why do men have nipples? dr. science Christine Humphries
I imagine that most of us know what purpose nipples serve in women; to secrete milk during lactation for infants. In men, however, despite the fact that their nipples are fully developed with a main milk duct, blood vessels and nerves, there is no absolutely no physiological function for nipples. In fact, although some have argued that prehistoric men may have suckled their infants, there are no mammalian species in which
male lactation occurs. So why do men have nipples? Some scientists think that men have nipples just because women do. Just like legs, arms and most other body parts, nipples are a part of the “standard equipment”. In other words, nipples are not what separates males and females. In fact, embryos, whether male or female, develop the same way for about the first six weeks, at which time male hormones begin to affect the development of male embryos. And it is during this time before sexual differentiation begins, that the development of nipples occurs. There is no arguing, however, that nipples are different in men and
in women. The milk ducts in male nipples do not produce milk because they need to be stimulated with a hormone only produced in females. Therefore, even though nipples are “standard equipment”, sex hormones specify their maleness or femaleness. This is similar to how the voice box, which all of us have, is affected by sex hormones to produce a low voice in men and a higher voice in women. Despite the fact that they serve no purpose, male nipples will probably not be lost because there is no obvious disadvantage to having them… kind of like earlobes actually (but that’s for another Dr. Science column!).

Opinion&Editorial Publisher’s note “Buy local” means art, too! If we really want support in Nelson as an arts comBy Nelson Becker m u n i t y , we have to support Nelson as a community of artists. Artists are visionaries by definition and they are artists 24/7, not just when they are creating art. In fact I believe art is a side effect of being an artist. So while we promote
the art to tourists, I think we should be promoting our artists. Supporting the artists mean supporting their friends as well. It’s time to publicly acknowledge Nelson’s cultural diversity and the people that make it possible through our brochures in our efforts to draw people here. I believe people come to Nelson to look at the artists and their friends. Lets acknowledge and embrace it.

My Opinion
by Spencer Pollard
The Relationships that Hurt I have a large family and at times I just don’t feel like speaking to them. It generally stems from being the anti-social type and the fact that they generally visit unannounced (at least to my knowledge). But what about people who just hurt you on a emotional scale because they can? I’ve known people who have hurt me in the past and as much as they say it only makes your stronger, it feels like the opposite. How do you deal with them? Well first of all, sever your ties if possible depending on the relationship. No single
person is worth suffering for on a emotional plane. If it’s someone whom you are stuck with like a roommate or a family member you need to take care of, try to come to an understanding before jumping to conclusions. People generally act based on how they are or were treated, many of them treat others badly as they were treated badly themselves. Dealing with people can be hard sometimes. Your best bet is to either cut your ties or come to a reasonable understanding. Everybody hurts but they don’t have to.

Letter to the editor: GMO
Dear Editor, As each gene in the plant genome codes for the production of a protein, you are being forced to put an unknown protein into your body. You are not allowed to know the identity of the foreign protein, or even if it exists! Isn’t this a personal assault by Monsanto on every person?

Do you own any art by local artists?
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/local_art In a week’s time, the Nelson & District Arts Council will be celebrating 25 years of ArtWalk, with the Grand Opening event on Friday, July 5th from 6-9 p.m. With 36 artists showing and selling their work in this exhibition, it feels like the perfect time to ask if YOU support the arts in this community, and how?
Last week’s survey responses:
Are you satisfied with the available hours of the recycling bins at the transfer station? I am satisfied with the hours 10.5% Hours of operation should be extended 26.3% Recycling bins should be open 24/7 63.2%
The recycling is most inconvenient. Furthermore the electronic and paint recycling is at the bottle depot, a long way away from the transfer station and electronic recycling is not enforced!
The blue bag system is ridiculous, all those plastic bags are wasteful. I would prefer to be able to sort and drop off recyclables myself the way we did before. Sunday hours would be a great help!
Seems like there are less places and less time to drop recycling. It looks like Nelson and other cities in the region talk the recycling talk but can’t do the recycling walk. While not a bastion of brilliance, the RDCK has recycling depots that are open 24/7 throughout the area. How much effort does it take to make recycling possible for those who don’t fit within the narrow parameters you set for recycling. Nelson likes to put itself forward as open and progressive community. Between this and the huge fight over backyard chickens, I would argue it’s actually old and crusty. It works fine for us and together with curbside pickup, I think it’s easy to recycle
I work long days not getting off of work until 6 pm at night, and I also work lots of weekends and it would be nice if the hours were longer at the Recycling Bins. I feel we should be able to access the bins until 9:00pm in the evening. What are people who work until 5:30pm or 6:00pm going to do? Especially without a vehicle. Can they do EVERYTHING on a Saturday? I doubt it, and recycling would be at the end of the list. It makes absolutely no sense to me that the recycling depot should be locked up during evenings and weekends. Every other town or city I’ve been to has open recycling depots 24/7. What is the concern? Is someone going to steal my recycled tin cans?
