Youth as global citizens The Nelson Global Awareness Network will be hosting an International Development Symposium for Youth for high school-aged youth on Friday February 7, 2014 in Nelson. This event, open to all West Kootenay youth Grades 9-12, aims to increase knowledge and awareness, build empathy and identify opportunities for youth involvement and action around critical development issues, globally and locally. “We are already all global citizens,” said George Chandler, the Symposium Coordinator. ”The only question left is what kind of global citizen each of us will be. This event will actively engage youth in an experiential learning process that will encourage them to answer this question for themselves, by expanding their minds and hearts, and considering their own role and capacity as active global citizens, working together in helping to make a better, more just community and world.”The Symposium comes at the end of International Development Week in Canada. It will provide a dynamic,
fun and supportive environment that will stimulate young participants to explore interlinked global issues for themselves, with ties to local issues and perspectives. It is being planned and facilitated by a leadership group made up of youth/young adults, aged 17-30 years, under the direction of an experienced Coordinator. “I was involved for over 15 years with a similar event in the Lower Mainland, which many West Kootenay youth have been able to attend over the years. Unfortunately, this event is no longer happening, so we wanted to provide an opportunity for local youth to not only learn in a similar way, but also reflect on their own ideas and capacity for social action, and meet and make friends with other youth who have similar motivations.” The International Development Symposium for Youth will run on Friday February 7 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Prestige Lake Resort in Nelson. The cost is $15, which includes lunch, snacks and all materials. submitted by Nelson Global Awareness Network
Left to right: Julie Fletcher, George Chandler, Rayne Tarasiuk. Anna Beckett. “I would have loved the opportunity to be involved in a global awareness project whilst in high school back in England. So I jumped at the chance to be a part of the facilitating team for this symposium. Being new to Nelson, I have observed the strong sense of community spirit, and so the opportunity to involve local youth in thinking and acting upon global issues is one I did not want to miss.” Anna Beckett, age 24
Sunday, January 26 Annual Walk for Memories Nelson Community Complex This year the event will be highlighting care givers in Nelson for the special care they provide our loved ones. The Walk for Memories will be held at the Nelson Community Complex arena with registration beginning at 10 a.m. and the walk at 11:30 a.m.
The care givers are a gift to those suffering from this horrible disease that affects so many of our family members in our community. Care givers deserve our recognition and support. The West Kootenay Resource Centre offers information, educational opportunities, support groups and the ability to talk directly with a
knowledgeable team member. They offer information packages with brochures and fact sheets, individual support by appointment and referrals to community resources. Here in the West Kootenays, the staff member to contact is Julie Leffelaar, jleffelaar@ alzheimerbc.org 1-855-301-6742. submitted by Walk for Memories

At its January 16, meeting, the Board of the Regional District of Central Kootenay made a decision to maintain its office at 202 Lakeside Drive in response to a proposal from the City of Nelson to move the RDCK to space at the City Hall building at 310 Ward Street. “The concept of the two local governments and the Province being located in a common building has merit and was considered; however, the cost to the RDCK to sell our building and move our entire operation to 310 Ward outweighed the suggested benefits,” said John Kettle, Chair of the RDCK Board. building community since 1988 The City felt this was an opportunity to deliver government services in a new way, which would ultimately save the tax payers money and provide the public easier access to services. www.rdck.bc.ca www.nelson.ca

Emergency 911 NPD - Non Emergency (250) 354-3919 RCMP- (250) 352-2156 Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-8477
RCMP news: a series of break and enters The Kootenay Boundary Regional RCMP Detachment and Nelson City Police are investigating a series of break and enters that occurred overnight. At approximately 1:15 a.m. on Jan. 15, the Nelson RCMP responded to an alarm at the Kootenay Savings Credit Union located at Playmour Junction. Upon arrival the officer discovered the two glass doors had been smashed and the ATM Room door had been forced open, however, no entry to the ATM itself had been gained. It appears a small amount of loose change was stolen from the establishment. Police in Castlegar responded to an alarm at the Thirsty Duck Pub at approximately 2:00 am where they also discovered the front glass door had been broken. Video surveillance indicates a lone male entered the building then kicked open an office door before gaining access to the safe. The thief managed to steal cash from the safe plus the ATM cash cassette containing an undetermined amount of cash. A witness to incident reported seeing a male driving a small older model grey vehicle flee the scene carrying a duffle bag. Castlegar RCMP also responded
to a report of a break-in to the Canadian Tire store. The investigation determined the front door had been smashed at approximately 10:30 p.m., however, the alarm malfunctioned. Video surveillance shows a lone male prying open the cash registers at the front of the store and then proceed to the GPS cabinet at the rear of the business, which was also pried open. An inventory of items stolen has not yet been completed. The video shows a male wearing gloves, a ski mask, black jacket and black sweat pants with a large stripe down either side and carrying a black duffle bag exiting the building. Nelson City Police responded to a complaint of a break-in to Amanda’s Restaurant located on the west side of the orange bridge. Video evidence indicates a lone male smashed the front glass door to gain entry at approximately 12:15 a.m. The individual was also dressed in a dark jacket with black sweatpants with a large white stripe on each leg and was wearing a balaclava or ski mask. They were also able to determine the vehicle involved was an older white or grey car – possibly an Audi or Honda product.
Based on the times, location and description of the suspect police believe all the break-ins are connected. Anyone with any information is asked to call the RCMP, Nelson City Police or Crime Stoppers. In the early morning hours of January 16, 2014 the Taghum Shell near Nelson, BC and The Dragonfly Cafe, in Salmo, BC were broken into. The thief(s) smashed the front glass door at both locations to gain entry. At the Shell, the thief stole alcohol and cigarettes and tried to get into the cash register, though it did not contain any cash at the time. At the Dragonfly Cafe, the thief gained entry and took the whole cash register, getting away with $300 cash. The thief may be associated to a dark colored, mid-2000 model Honda or Toyota Sedan. Central Kootenay RCMP are requesting that anyone with information on who is responsible for these break and enters, in addition to those which happened the night prior, to please contact the Nelson or Salmo RCMP, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS(8477). submitted by the Nelson RCMP

Opinion&Editorial My Opinion
The State of the Ocean When it comes to global warming, many of us don’t think of what’s happening underneath the waves. I can say with confidence, what’s happening down there is of equal importance. One of the most well known facts about global warming, regarding the ocean is that the water is heating up as the climate becomes hotter and hotter. The greenhouse gases cause the bicarbonate buffer (Concentration of bicarbonate ions) to warm. Around half of the coral reefs have also begun to erode or have faded away due to increased

Should things not change, methane gas will be produced in a larger quantity as well as the increased temperature having a detrimental effectDifficulty on even more Level of our coral reefs. Even if you are in the belief that global warming is a myth, making some more ecofriendly changes to your lifestyle will not only benefit your planet but your own personal health as well. Change is hard but it can mean all the difference.

Are you getting annoying, unsolicited phone calls? From time to time I will receive phone calls from people who By Nelson Becker tell me my computer is at risk and I need to do something about it. I can tell, these people are trying to scam me.
I’ve tried different ways of dealing with these obscene phone calls. I have told them my computer is fine, I don’t do business over the phone, don’t ever call here again; but these excuses seems to end up in discussion, because the person
on the other end is trained to deal with objections. Now when they call, my response is “are you the Doctor? I thought it was the Doctor calling, my mother is dying.” They hang up immediately.
1. Do you receive unsolicited phone calls? On your landline? Mobile? 2. How do you deal with these phone calls? take our survey below:

Last week’s suvrvey response: 1. Can Nelson and the West Kootenay benefit from more development?
85% said YES, 5% said NO, and 10% said I DON’T KNOW 2. What kind of development does this area need? clean industry Small scale development is the only really successful development in The West Kootenays.. We also need a university or something like it. low cost housing and tourism. medical, wellness, and elder care Maybe Nelson has to think outside the box. There is such anti development mindset in Nelson that it stifles any attempt to improve the area by providing opportunities for growth which in turn generates tax revenue to pay for services that so many whine about that they don’t have.
