Smart edgy folk noir
photo submitted
Scarlett Jane, the Ontario-based duo of Andrea Ramolo and Cindy Doire, are on the road again. The pair are building a strong following thanks to their smart, edgy folk noir — guitar-driven pop songs, delivered with close harmonies and real heart.
Scarlett Jane will play Expressions this Friday July 19. The Nelson show is part of a cross-Canada tour of more than 50 concerts, which has included
performances across Quebec and the Maritimes. Scarlett Jane have moved through shows in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and are playing 11 shows in British Columbia.
On their way home, they’ll play the Edmonton Folk Festival, the biggest event of its kind in Canada, and the Harvest Sun Festival in Manitoba. More on the girls inside!

Alien species invades west kootenay An extremely aggressive invasive plant species that has the ability to damage property, impact biodiversity, and affect water quality, may be growing in your backyard. The Central Kootenay Invasive Plant Committee (CKIPC) is focusing efforts this summer on educating residents of Nelson about invasive knotweeds and their impacts. “Invasive knotweeds can grow 1m per month and have the ability to push through concrete, brick and asphalt” says Crystal Klym, Executive Director of CKIPC. “These knotweeds form such a dense thicket that nothing will grow underneath them, which impacts biodiversity, water quality and fisheries habitat along stream edges. Once established, these plants are extremely difficult to get rid of.”
Knotweed, also called “false bamboo,” grows up to 5m tall and its roots can spread up to 20m away. The three species in the West Kootenay include Japanese, Giant and Bohemian knotweed. The tall, bamboo like stems and thick patches of this plant makes it relatively easy to identify. Invasive knotweeds are considered to be one of the world’s worst invasive species, and are designated as “noxious” under the BC Weed Control Act. In a recent planning session in Nelson, invasive knotweeds were identified as one of the highest priority species for control. CKIPC successfully applied for funding from the Columbia Basin Trust Community Initiatives Program for the “Not-AWeed” project in Nelson. CKIPC representatives
Knotweed with person: Invasive knotweeds grow up to 5 m tall and will shade out anything growing beneath them.
will conduct an inventory of knotweed in the City of Nelson, contact residents who have knotweed on their property, and will provide information on its control and safe disposal. For more information
on this project, contact the Central Kootenay Invasive Plant Committee at 250352-1160 or go to: www.ckipc.ca submitted by Central Kootenay Invasive Plant Committee
Why does skunk spray stink and how can I remove it? dr. science Christine Humphries
There seem to be many skunks in Nelson this year, and your dog or cat may have the unfortunate experience of being sprayed by a skunk. But don’t buy tomato juice just yet! There is no scientific evidence that it helps in removing the smell. Skunk spray contains sulfur compounds called thiols (also known
as mercaptans). There are thousands of different kinds of thiols, which have a chemical structure like alcohol except that there is a sulfur atom instead of an oxygen atom. For example, ethanol has a formula of CH3CH2OH and the thiol, ethyl mercaptan, has a formula of CH3CH2SH. In skunk spray two thiols cause most of the smell: (E)-2-butene-1-thiol and 3-methyl-1-butanethiol. The Guiness Book of World Records calls thiols
the smelliest molecules on earth! To get rid of the skunk smell, it is necessary to chemically neutralize the thiols. In other words, the thiols must be changed into a different type of (non-smelly) molecule. This can be done by using an oxidizing agent which adds an oxygen atom to the thiols. One recipe I found on the internet recommends washing a sprayed dog with a solution containing 1 quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide, ¼
Dr. Science is in real life, Dr. Christine Humphries, a molecular biologist
cup baking soda and 1 tsp liquid detergent. The oxygen from the hydrogen peroxide oxidizes the thiols and converts them to sulfonic acid, a compound with no smell. -IMPORTANT -- DO NOT STORE this solution as the oxygen released may cause the container to explode!!!) In contrast, all tomato juice will do is mask the smell of the thiols or, at best, make it slightly easier to wash the spray off the dog’s coat.

Johnsons Landing tragedy: one year later
On the one-year anniversary of the Johnsons Landing landslide that claimed four lives and destroyed numerous homes and properties, the Regional District of Central Kootenay expresses its deepest sympathies to those impacted by this event. John R. Kettle, Chair of the RDCK said that “a year later we are still under emergency order concerning Johnsons Landing. This has been a monumental effort of coordination working with the Premier, Attorney General, and the Ministries of Health; Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations; Transportation
and Infrastructure; Community, Sport and Cultural Development; and Environment. In addition, Emergency Management BC has been working with our local staff with a support effort nothing short of spectacular.” “Not everyone will be satisfied with the outcome of this situation,” said Kettle. “It may require a change in legislation to address situations like this in the future. That being said, we continue to treat this horrible event with the respect and reverence it demands. The Premier and Ministers have done everything they said they would do and then
some; they have our sincere appreciation and thanks.” “This has been a difficult year for those property owners, residents and the families affected by this devastating tragedy and we sympathize with their losses.” states Andy Shadrack, Area D Director for the RDCK. Recent monitoring of the land above the tiny community of Johnson’s Landing revealed that the slope has moved 15 centimetres since May, which is not alarming or unexpected. However, in the interest of public safety, geotechnical engineers have recommended that the evacuation order remain in place
pending further monitoring in mid-August. The RDCK is in the process of examining the recommendations of the Johnsons Landing Geotechnical Report released in May and will make implementation recommendations in the coming months. In the meantime, the RDCK and the Province continue to work with the affected property owners in the recovery process. For further information, please contact: Brian Carruthers, EOC Director, RDCK Emergency Operation Centre, (250)3528152 submitted by the RDCK
Summer Outdoor Leadership & Development Initiatives for Youth August 19 -29 Tipi Camp This summer, 10 youth (aged 16-19) from the Columbia basin can take part in an 11-day outdoor leadership program. The SOLIDIFY program (Summer Outdoor Leadership & Development Initiatives for Youth) is an opportunity for young adults to develop their communication and problem solving
skills through a series of leadership initiatives, outdoor skills workshops and a multi-day backcountry trip. The application deadline is July 15th. Visit www.kootenaysolidify.com for more details and to apply online. SOLIDIFY is a concept born from several years of high school leadership programs, tripping camps, guiding and
world travel. Ryan van der Marel will be running the program with Monica Nissen, Sandra Bernier and Kate Nott. When asked why this program is important, Ryan said, “I believe in the potential of youth to provide insight and solutions to societal issues and I feel that everyone should know the natural environment as
part of being a global citizen. The outdoors is truly an invaluable learning tool and the SOLIDIFY program is designed to empower youth to become better global citizens.” For more information, contact: www.kootenaysolidify.com 250-551-0417 submitted by Kate Nott

Vapour Barrier
Home Front
by Bill Lynch, Paul Muntak & Steve Cannon
Can I install a vapour barrier over the existing drywall and install another layer of drywall over top or, should I remove the existing drywall and install the vapour barrier and re-drywall?
A question to ask yourself if there any evidence of moisture problems in the existing building envelop. The signs to look for here would include water damaged/ stained finishes, visible mould growth, blistered or peeling paint, deteriorated or missing caulking, and condensation on wall, window, or ceiling surfaces. If you see any of these issues present the next step is to determine the severity of moisture within the building. This
may involve cutting holes in wall and ceiling systems to view what is happening behind them. Additional ways to help reduce the moisture build up inside your home are: To “sandwich” a vapour barrier between two sheets of drywall may not be a reasonable solution. Just as moisture can build up from the inside you could have moisture in the walls from the exterior. If this moisture condenses at the vapour barrier the wall cavity may not breathe and evaporate the moisture adequately as
it would saturate the first layer of drywall from the exterior. This could create a place for moulds to flourish and potential for rot damage within the wall system. Another way of tackling this issue is the use of vapour retardant paints, which may result in a lower cost than removing and re-installing the drywall. However you may also want to take advantage of the opportunity to increase your insulation values if you choose to remove the drywall to add your vapour barrier. • Don’t add extra
moisture by using humidifiers or kettles on wood stoves • Use your kitchen and bathroom fans religiously • Install a dehumidistat to your bathroom fan • Ensure adequate ventilation of roof and crawlspace • Install a vapour barrier to exposed earth in your basement or crawlspace • Ensure roof drainage is taken away from the building foundation • Seal all electrical switches and outlets installed in the exterior walls

Missing Person: Lyle Lamont of Castlegar Castlegar RCMP are investigating a report of a missing person. 25 year old Lyle Lamont was last seen yesterday ( Sunday July 14) at approximately 5:30 a.m. He left the family home stating he was going for a walk and has not been seen since. Friends and family have been out searching, as well as Castlegar Search and Rescue but as
of this time no sightings or contact have been had with him. Lamont was last seen wearing: a blue striped hoodie and blue jeans. He is about 6 feet tall and weighs approximately 180 pounds. He has blond hair that is cut very short and blue eyes. He has a world map tattoo on one forearm ( believed to be his left) that wraps around his whole
arm, and on the inside of his other arm he has a grenade and the name “Lamont” in black. RCMP have no reason at this point to believe foul play is involved in Mr Lamont’s disappearance. Anyone with information on Mr Lamont’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Castlegar RCMP at (250)365-7721 submitted by the Castlegar RCMP
On July 10, 2013 Nelson Police received a report of a stolen vehicle. The owner of the vehicle had just moved back to Nelson and had parked her vehicle on the street in front of her residence the previous evening. She also reported she could not find her keys but had advised a friend who believed she saw the vehicle in the Rosemont area during the night. Nelson Police investigators conducted inquiries in the area where
the vehicle was last seen and this led to the recovery of the vehicle abandoned on Bealby Point Rd. Several people were identified in the investigation and have been interviewed by investigators. To date the investigation continues and Nelson Police are asking anyone with information regarding the theft of the vehicle to come forward. On July 11, 2013, Nelson Police received a report of a boat in distress
on Kootenay Lake just past the Orange Bridge. Nelson Police deployed their boat in order to investigate the report and assist the boat owner. Once out on the lake, it was determined that the initial boat in distress had been assisted by the Nelson Sailing Club, but in turn the Nelson Sailing Club zodiac required assistance as it had developed motor issues. NPD towed the NSC boat to the City wharf. Once at the wharf,
it was determined that the NPD boat was in trouble due to debris caught in the jet intake. The members of the Nelson Sailing Club then assisted NPD members in unclogging the jet intake so that NPD could resume marine patrols. We would like to thank the Nelson Sailing Club for rendering assistance to the initial boat in distress then being on hand to assist NPD. submitted by the Nelson Police Department
On July 9, 2013 the Ministry of Transportation reported that new paving in the Krestova area had been damaged by a vehicle spinning it’s tires on the fresh asphalt.

July MarketFest is almost here Friday, July 26 from 6 - 10:30 p.m, Downtown Nelson
MarketFest is once again back on Baker Street this July 26 starting at 6 p.m. and going until 10:30 p.m. This is a rain or shine event but with some luck the weather will be beautiful, the sun will shine, and the music will soar. This MarketFest musical line up includes Lisa Nicole, James Lamb, Shane Philip, Brian Rosen and the WhatNow and many more. EcoSociety’s Markets Director Jesse R. Woodward is once again working with vendors, business owners, and city agencies to ensure that July MarketFest is a great success. “June MarketFest was a huge hit and was the biggest MarketFest since it all began 7 years ago� he said. “I think about 2000 people came out to enjoy that event and we are hoping for much of the same for July MarketFest.� MarketFest attendees will have a fantastic variety of products to chose from including hand-made hats and shoes, locally made clothing and jewellery, and an array of body and home care products and, of course, lots of different and delicious ready to eat foods. MarketFest will once again have a food court area on Kootenay Street that makes it very easy for festival goers to find and choose from the wide selection of ready to eat foods that will be on hand. What better
way to spend a warm summer evening than eating scrumptious fresh foods, shopping for locally made goods and listening to wonderful live music. The West Kootenay EcoSociety operates MarketFest as a project to promote a relocalization of our economy and to create a meeting place for arts, culture and community networking. Ecosociety is able to put on Marketfest due to generous funding from the Columbia Basin Trust, the City of Nelson, Nelson and District Credit Union as well as help from numerous other local businesses including The Bridge, The Nelson Brewing Company and the Kootenay Coop. The EcoSociety also runs the Saturday Cottonwood Community Market at Cottonwood Falls Park and the Wednesday Nelson Downtown Local Market on the 400 block of Baker Street. West Kootenay EcoSociety is a non-profit organization located in Nelson BC. Through education, outreach, community building, research, and advocacy, the EcoSociety works to protect the natural environment while building a just and sustainable postcarbon world.

Arts&Entertainment Iconoclast performer R.A. The Rugged Man Thursday, July 25 at 9 p.m. Finley’s Irish Bar and Grill, Tickets: $20 at the door On Thursday, July 25 at Finley’s Irish Bar and Grill, the influential and controversial R.A. The Rugged Man will be performing for the first time in Nelson. Having done over 500 shows in the past few years with the likes of Snoop Dog, Odd Future, Maclemore, Atmosphere, Busta Rhymes and the list goes on, R.A The Rugged Man is now on a world tour which is selling out shows everywhere. His Canadian tour starts this week. Afterwards he’ll be headed over to Europe in August to headline Hip Hop Kemp with Kendrick Lamar and KRS-1. He will also be seen rocking the stage in Switzerland with Mac Miller, Yellawolf and Wu-Tang Clan. He’ll then be headed back to the U.S. headlining with Too Short and Ghostface Killa at the AC3 festival in Atlanta. Originally from a broken home in Long Island’s Suffolk County, R.A. was raised by a Vietnam vet-
eran/mental patient father whose exposure to Agent Orange left his brother Maxx physically and visually impaired and his sister Dee Ann unable to walk or speak. Finding refuge in Hip-Hop, R.A. began his whirlwind rap career at the age of 12. His immediate growth as an artist and constantly raising profile soon caught the attention of the majors and R.A. found himself at the center of a nine label bidding war. While he eventually signed with Jive, his vile behavior proved too much for the label to handle as they left him to die without an album in stores to his name. Currently, R.A. finds himself in the studio, readying his new album for Nature Sounds. Joined by celebrated producers Buckwild, Marco Polo, Ayatollah and Lil Fame of M.O.P., it promises to not only live up to his legendary standards, but exceed

every grimy expectation. A traditionalist, innovator and trailblazer, R.A. has devoted his life to Hip-Hop, stating “The only reason I live is to be the best at what I do and I get better at it every year of my life. I can’t wait to unleash it to the world.”
R.A. The Rugged Man brings with him DR OOP and the opening set is by DJ Ripple. for more information check out the facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/ events/400975873354715/ submitted

Known for dizzying roots music jams, polyrhythms and revved up riffs, Sultans of String can’t be pinned down -- it’s Sable Island meets the Silk Road, with detours through the GypsyJazz coffeehouses of Eastern Europe, next an East Coast Kitchen Party, then over to the streets of Havana. Seamlessly traversing diverse themes of heart, place and tradition, fiery violin dances with kinetic guitar -- throughout, acoustic strings meet electronic wizardry to create layers and depth of sound.

KEITH, Eleanor Joyce
Keith, Eleanor Joyce, of Antigonish, passed away on Friday, July 12th, 2013. Joyce passed with the same dignity with which she met her final illness. Born in Clarkesville, NS, to parents Edna Bessie ‘Teddy’ (Bulmar) and John Reginald Campbell, she quickly proved to be an ambitious dedicated student, eventually traveling by train twice daily to Windsor for high school. This was followed by a RN diploma from Aberdeen hospital in New Glasgow. Brief stints of nursing in PEI, Nova Scotia, and Ontario served as stepping stones to the glamor of flight as a stewardess of Trans Canada Airlines (TCA). In a recent interview Joyce was quite emphatic that, “I became a flight attendant to be able to fly, not to be a flight attendant”. Joyce had a regal presence which nicely complimented her affection for tradition. Friendship mattered to her greatly, as she was devoted and loyal to her friends throughout her life. She is survived by her children: Gregory Keith (Joanne Bieler), Nelson, BC: Stacey Ellen Steeves (Brian); Lanark; grandchildren: Benjamin and Christopher Keith, Oliver Steeves (Kara Kilfoil) and JJ Steeves (Matthew Morgan); great grandchildren: Charlotte, Beckett, and Ellen Steeves; Sister Helen Rae Meehan (Winston), Upper Rawdon; sisters-in-law Joyce Campbell (Ken), Parrsboro and Ada Campbell (Bernard), East Gore; and her many beloved nieces and nephews. Visitation will be held at C.L. Curry Funeral Home, 135 College St, Antigonish on Wednesday form 2-4pm and 7-9pm. Funeral service will be held in St. David’s United Church, Cape George on Thursday at 11am. Burial in the church cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be directed to the RK Nursing Home Foundation. Online condolences: www.clcurry.com

Opinion&Editorial Publisher’s note
I’m going to live to be 200!
The mural outside of the old Extra Foods superBy Nelson Becker market is a wonderful idea because it makes it clear that we must be living in the present. There really is no time like the present to do all those things we’ve been thinking about. While it is true we may pass from this existence at any time, I believe it’s also important to have the
imagination that we will live to be 200 years old. If you have the sense you’re going to live to live till 200, you will create a very sturdy foundation in life for yourself, your family and your community. If you should happen to pass before the 200 years is up, rest assured someone else will take on the projects you have started. So live your life as if you will reach the age of 200, but don’t procrastinate along the way.

My Opinion
Friday, July 19, 2013
by Spencer Pollard
Opinions more Important than mine Well, that title is up for debate but I wanted to point out some folks that I am a fan of. First up is a man known as Anthony Fantano, who runs a site/YouTube channel, called “The Needle Drop”. He does reviews of newer music of the independent persuasion and provides an in depth service and insightful reviews, check him out. Secondly, is TED. I’m sure many of you know what that is but for those that don’t; TED is a global series of conferences that feature numerous speakers on a variety of subjects,
check it out as you’re bound to find a speaker who speaks to you. Lastly, I mention Doug Walker. Doug is one of many of the faces of thatguywiththeglasses.com. They provide a myriad of reviews of various facets of pop culture, from movies to comics; you can find numerous reviews both factious and humorous. This week’s article was a bit of a detour but I felt it was important to show where I get some of my inspiration from in hopes that I can inspire you as well.

Is Nelson and area your permanent home?
Finding a home is not always easy. Home is not necessarily where you were born or where you have spent most of your life. Home, in this question, means a geographical location that resonates so deeply with your spirit, that you cannot imagine living anywhere else. Home means you may travel, but at least you will have somewhere to store your stuff.
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/permanent_home
Last week’s survey responses: Does Nelson have enough outdoor recreational facilities? No 71.4% YES 28.6%
I would love to see an outdoor (or even indoor) running track. It is difficult in Nelson as there is little flat land available, but sports field access is minimal for some sports. Is this the only town in the Kootenays without an outdoor swimming pool? that lake is cold until August
is always Nelson begging the Provincial and Federal governments for money to pay for the infrastructure and still need to borrow money for infrastructure. That’s because they find all kinds of money for fun stuff rather than necessities.
