Community-built playground
photo by Rory case
Central School has a new playground for students to enjoy. Parents of Wildflower School, which is housed in the building, took the leadership on design and additional fund raising after the School District let them know that some playground upgrade funding was available. The previous equipment was aging wood and inadequate to the needs of current students. Students are expected to be using the equipment Monday, Sept. 16 after the concrete footings have had a chance to cure.

Minor slides cause murky water in Slocan River The Regional District of Central Kootenay has investigated reports of extremely high sedimentation and discoloration in Gwillim Creek and the Slocan River, following an intense rain storm on Friday. An assessment of Gwillim Creek and Mulvey Creek by helicopter this afternoon identified mud slides on both creeks
which have contributed to the discoloration of the Slocan River. The slides have not blocked the creeks and water is currently flowing freely through the slide areas. It is anticipated that it may take a number of days for the sedimentation to diminish in both creeks and the Slocan River. Users on
the Slocan community water system are requested to conserve water in the coming days, even after the water has cleared. Residents who draw their water from the Slocan River should also be aware of the increased turbidity levels. There are no threats to infrastructure or public safety as a result of these
slides. However, residents are reminded to be observant for discoloration and/ or extreme fluctuations in water levels during and after significant rain events as these can be indicators of potentially dangerous slides or debris flows on rivers and streams. www.rdck.bc.ca submitted by the RDCK
The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) is reissuing the WATER QUALITY ADVISORY on the Riondel system due to recent sampling results indicating the presence of small levels of total coliforms. While health risks are
now considered low, the RDCK and Interior Health recommend that children, the elderly, people with weakened immune systems, and anyone seeking additional protection drink boiled water or a safe alternative until further notice.
For these at-risk populations, water intended for drinking, washing fruits or vegetables, making beverages or ice, or brushing teeth should be boiled for one minute. We appreciate water users’ cooperation and
patience as we continue to monitor this situation and serve our residents’ needs. If you have any questions please contact the RDCK at 250-352-6665 or check out our website at www.rdck.bc.ca submitted by the RDCK

Nelson champ helps War Amps The War Amps float in Penticton’s recent Peach Festival Parade passed on the vital PLAYSAFE/ DRIVESAFE message, but also commemorated a special milestone for the Association – its 95th anniversary. Fraser Packham, 8, of Nelson, was born a left arm amputee. He rode on board the float with his fellow Champs. The colourful, animated float is specially designed to capture the attention of chil-
dren, with ASTAR, the gold robot from Planet Danger, reminding them that he can put his arm back on but they can’t. To further reinforce the message, CHAMP Ambassadors shout out the PLAYSAFE message to kids and the DRIVESAFE message to adults along the parade route. For PLAYSAFE information or resources, call 1800-250-3030 or visit www.waramps.ca submitted by the War Amps

Free volunteer training for women The Nelson and District Women’s Centre’s free volunteer training program, Rooted in Community, offers local and area women the opportunity to build strengths, gain valuable skills, and contribute their time and energy as volunteers in their communities. Offered twice a year at the Women’s Centre, the program consists of eight sessions of 2.5 hours, taking place over a one-month period on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and will begin on October 1. During the program, participants are taught how to be effective volunteers while learning about community resources and build-
ing active listening and peer counselling skills. In addition to practical skills, women gain confidence and become empowered as they share life experiences with the group, and build a stronger sense of community. Rooted in Community is especially beneficial to women who may be feeling isolated or disconnected, women who are new to the area and wish to get to know their community and make friends, or women with barriers to full employment seeking transferable skills to enhance their resume and job prospects. The program also benefits Nelson and the surrounding area by providing thoroughly-trained, knowl-

Fish Heads and Flowers Flowers To the officers, for the times I have noticed you driving very professionally with acute awareness of the road and all the common distractions of lively Nelson. I have seen you recently pull over in unsuspecting places to produce a cell phone and commence a text message. Thank you for doing that. Lead by example.

Signed: beary aware Flowers Thanks to the lady who grabbed my run-a-way Brittany Spaniel and the fellows who tried to help just outside the doggie park. It takes a community to keep our pets safe.

Not everyone loves your dog. How do you know who has been traumatized in the past by a loose dog! At least have the consideration to control your dog by your side or leash then when someone is about to walk by. Signed: Scared walker

Nelson City Police news: threats, scams, and counterfeit On Wednesday, September 4 at approx. 1:30 p.m. two patrons of the Nelson and District Community Centre returned to the men’s change room after working out to find the locks on their lockers had been cut by bolt cutters. The matter is currently under investigation and the public is requested to report any suspicious activity to both NDCC staff and the Nelson Police Department. On Wednesdaym September 4, at approximately 6 p.m. an intoxicated male was arrested in the 700 block of Front Street. The 34 year old male allegedly approached a female who was seated in a parked vehicle and waved a knife at her. The male faces charges of Possession of a Weapon for Dangerous Purpose, Uttering Threats and four counts of Breach of Probation. On Thursday, September 5, at approximately 3:42 p.m. a 14 year
old cyclist was struck by a vehicle at the intersection of Hendryx and Mill Street. The cyclist was not wearing a helmet and did not heed a stop sign. No serious injuries resulted but the cycling public is reminded that helmets are mandatory in British Columbia. The Nelson Police Department has received numerous reports of counterfeit U.S bills in the past few days. Merchants are reminded to be diligent with all currency and make staff aware of all the security features present in both U.S and Canadian currency. These recent counterfeit U.S bills have been 50 and 100 dollar denominations. Nelson Police have become aware that residents of Nelson and area are becoming involved in what is being referred to as a Women’s Circle. The Circle requires women to provide a $5000 gift to another woman in the circle. Eventually the first women will move to a dif-
ferent level in the Circle and where she is promised a gift herself. This gift is anticipated to be much larger than the gift originally given. Although those behind the Women’s Circle claim it is not a hierarchy or pyramid, it is. The only way for individuals to receive gifts greater than what they are contributing is through the loss of others in “Circle.” There is no new money created in the Circle, it is simply a fraud that allows the original recruiters to take money from the new members. Eventually when no new recruits come into the Circle, the gifters will have lost their money. Pyramid schemes are illegal under section 206 (1) (e) of the Criminal Code and Competition’s Act. Income received from the scheme must also be declared with Canada Revenue and could result in tax evasion charges if not declared. If you have been victim to this fraud, please con-
tact Nelson Police, your local RCMP department or the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 On M o n d a y, September 9, a young couple heading to Red Sands beach was confronted by a male who immediately began to yell and threaten them for being down there. The couple tried to keep their distance but the 59 year old male known to the Nelson Police continued his tirade, threatening the couple and throwing rocks at them. When the male backed away for a moment they managed to flee the area unharmed and call the Nelson Police to report this incident. An excellent description of the offender was given which allowed Nelson Police members to locate him a short distance away. The male will appear in court in Nelson to answer to charges of uttering threats and assault with a weapon. submitted by the Nelson Police Department

Garage doors
Home Front
by Bill Lynch, Paul Muntak & Steve Cannon
You neighbour is right. For about the past 20 years any door that connects a garage to a living area should come equipped with a self-closing arm (like you see on commercial doors) or a set of self-closing spring loaded hinges. This has been mandated by the Building Code after a series of very unfortunate accidental deaths from carbon monoxide poison. It was not unusual “back in the day” during winter months
I own a home in a subdivision in Castlegar. These houses were all built about 14 years ago. They all have attached garages with interior doors from the garages to the main floors of the homes. In my neighbours’ house these doors between the garages and the houses all close automatically after you have come through them. My door stays open. A neighbour told me these doors are supposed to close for safety reasons. What’s this about? to warm up a family car in the garage before heading out. Several sleeping people including some children died in these untimely accidents because the exhaust entered the home through the open interior door between the garage and living areas. Your door may be equipped with these springloaded hinges but the spring tension may need to be tightened. You will recognize a spring-loaded hinge because it is bulky than a
conventional hinge. It will have a small alan key adjustment or a small bicycle style chain link that can be tightened. If this set of hinges is missing consider replacing at least two of the existing hinges on this door with these self-closing hinges or install a commercial selfclosure on the top leading edge of the door. Both of these hardware items are readily available at building supply stores. It is also considered
good practice (and a building code requirement) to make sure there are no cracks, gaps or unsealed joints in the wall finishes on the garage side of a wall that separates this space from your home. Carbon monoxide can seep through gaps, open seams and cracks. So ensure this door has self-closing hinges or a self-closure and seal any cracks, gaps or openings in the demising wall between your garage and your home.

Could a downed power line be dangerous for tram’s or car’s passengers? dr. science Christine Humphries
A few years a city tram went off its track and hit a utility pole at Lakeside Park causing an electrical wire to fall onto the street. A witness to the incident asked what would have happened if the wire had landed on the tram or a nearby car. Would the passengers have been electrocuted? If a power line landed on a car, the electricity
would travel through the metal frame of the car but the car’s tires would prevent at least most of the electricity from reaching ground. The occupants of the car would remain safe as long as they stayed in the car because most of the electricity has nowhere to go. If, however, an occupant tried to get out of the car and made contact with both the car and the ground, their body would become another circuit for the electricity to reach
ground and they would be electrocuted. (Note: Some car tires have steel belts in them, allowing the electricity to flow through the tires and into the ground. It is still safer, even in this situation, to remain in the car because the ground around the car may become energized.) In the case of the tram, the steel would provide a low resistance path to ground, essentially short circuiting the power line, and cause fuses along the power

line to blow. If, for some reason, the fuses failed to function properly and the line remained live, just as for passengers inside a car with steel-belted tires, tram passengers would be safer remaining inside. When I spoke to Russell Leslie, General Manager of Nelson Hydro, he advised to stay at least 10 metres away from any downed power line and to remain in your car (or tram) until someone from Nelson Hydro advises you it is safe to get out!

It was a hard fought three-way race as the polls closed and the votes were counted—and the suspense was palpable. In fact, the process was almost as suspenseful as the plot of this year’s One Book, One Kootenay selection. Confined Space by Deryn Collier (Simon & Schuster, 2012) is this year’s One Book, One Kootenay official selection. Confined Space is a locally written mystery with universal appeal. The characters feel real, the plot is believable and readers don’t need to live in the Kootenays to picture the novel’s setting of Kootenay Landing. Collier will read from Confined Space and

The eleven artists chosen to participate in this exhibition live and work in the Columbia Basin and represent the practices of woodworking, jewelry, metalwork, glass and ceramics.

marker for attaining expertise or mastery in a particular practice. Curator Helen Sebelius has built an exhibition that will celebrate and demonstrate the artists’ dedication to their creative process, their approach to their chosen medium and the wide range of traditional and non- traditional uses of these mediums. At the opening reception on Friday, September 20 at 7 p.m., Sebelius will engage in a discussion with the participating artists and
the audience will have an opportunity to ask questions. This exhibit will run from Sept. 20, to Nov. 9.

A Juno nominee, she has released four albums to date, beginning with Orchestra To The Moon in 2007. Her most recent, and first US released record, The Beautiful Wild, won the 2013 ECMA POP Recording of the year. On this album, her prismatic, iridescent voice sparkles over adventurous layers of harp, sitar and flute.

Opinion&Editorial
Letters and submission Policy and Guidelines
Editorial poster places Freedom of expresBy Nelson Becker sion is a right we have here in Canada, and in the City of Nelson. No one will argue against that one of the roles of government, is to ensure people have reasonable access to share information with others. Our city, in various ways has done the opposite. Posters are a traditional form of communication in society; it doesn’t matter if the poster is for a lost kitty, musical event, or sale at the store. We hang posters to promote Expression’s events. We used to have four public places to hang posters, but in the last little while we’ve lost two of them. Now we have the one on
the corner of Kootenay and Baker and one at the Ward Street bus stop. The legal alternative to designated poster spots, are telephone poles and other public property. Some years ago The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that municipalities do not have the right to make blanket laws against the hanging of posters on public property. They did insinuate if there were sufficient municipalityinstalled posters boards, the municipality could say no posters on public property. I challenge the Nelson City Councilors to begin establishing many more poster-hanging places with reasonable guidelines. Please, City of Nelson, be a facilitator and don’t get in the way.

My Opinion
by Spencer Pollard
You Can’t Do That
Social norms dictate how a person should act. Now these “rules” aren’t set in stone but by going out of these pre-made fictitious boundaries you run the risk of alienating yourself from friends and co-workers. My question is: why? If you suddenly immersed yourself in subject matter that is highly illegal and horribly unethical I can see the point, but shouldn’t we, as human beings, be supportive of each other regardless? I know some of the more questionable choices I’ve made have alienated me
from more family and friends then I can count but I shouldn’t have to change because of some preconceived idea of how I should be. What’s most important is to act how you want but be respectful of others beliefs and general nature. Change is great and is a necessary part of anyone’s life. If what you consider change alienates you from your peers then it should be something they have to deal with not you. We only have so much time to be among one another so don’t sweat the small stuff and be who you want to be.
Spencer Pollard is an young man living in Nelson BC with an interest in digital arts and writing. His ideas are of benefit to all of Nelson, and to stroke his abnormally large ego

Is Baker Street in Nelson, as beautiful as it can be? What can be done to make Baker Street more beautful?
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/baker_street
Last week’s survey responses: Do you support military actions by the U.S. against the Syrian regime?
82.8% of our survey respondents said No, and 17.2% said Yes
comments:
Syrian regime cannot be allowed to gas their own people. If we, (the rest of the world) don’t stand in support of the defenseless, who will? Am I not my brother’s/sister’s keeper? war sucks. war is never an option --- never --so many other options no one’s willing to look at Who likes war anyways? aside from the Syrian government. The decision to attack should be made by a majority of the world’s nations, not by just a few. The middle east has had ongoing conflicts throughout time, and these need to (attempt) to be resolved themselves. Civil war - not international war. Intervention not sanctioned by UN. Attempts to “legislate” away use of gas and poison has never worked (see Wikipedia for history of use of gas and poisons in warfare). Previously used
in several places without US intervention or indignation (Iraq-Iran war, recently by Syria, etc). Sweden has the right approach with opening itself to Syrian refugees as should the world. Middle east issues will not be solved by war, assuming they can be solved. West should stay out of conflicts in Islam. The USA believes itself to be the policemen of the world but have only their own interests in mind. the politics of another country are none of the US’s business. They should clean up their own act. Someone pointed out to me that if using chemical weapons against civilians was a crime in need of extreme and severe punishment, then the US should be severely punished for its use of Agent Orange in Viet Nam. There has to be a more peaceful way for the international community to express its outrage at the abuses inflicted on civilians in Syria. I find punishing my children is not as effective as more positive
ways of creating motivation for more positive behaviour in the future. Time to impeach Obama and really, all the rest of our “Leaders”... leading us to death. Our governments, the international bankers, and the UN need to go. Because it is likely a part of the Middle East destabilization plan. will only result in more violence and deaths I am war weary and believe that this action will lead to greater instability in the Middle East. The Syrian issue will lead the US into a quagmire that they will not be able to disengage. No, you don’t want to hear my reason why. To ignore aggression encourages aggression. A targeted air attack on Syria’s ability to delivery chemical and other weapons on it’s own people will do much to calm the region.
