Emergency 911 NPD - Non Emergency (250) 354-3919 RCMP- (250) 352-2156 Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-8477
Restorative Justice Program seeks additional volunteers The Nelson Police Department is making great headway in its search for volunteers for its innovative Restorative Justice Program — and with training slated to begin soon, the NPD is making an urgent last call for all who may still be interested in signing up. The program places would-be law breakers face-to-face with those they’ve affected by their actions, and together, perpetrators and victims explore ways to repair the harm that’s been done. “This program will do far more to make a first-time offender recognize that they have done harm to others, as well as to themselves, than the criminal justice system could ever hope to accomplish,” says NPD Chief Wayne Holland. “The personal interaction between the perpetrators — who often are former victims themselves — and the citizens who have
been wronged can result in a young person being motivated to change the direction of his or her life, for their benefit as well as that of their community.” Since the first call for volunteers went out this spring, 10 locals have been interviewed in preparation for the program’s intensive training course, which will run from September through December on Saturdays and weekday evenings. The program is looking for another 10 volunteers. Those interested in learning more, contact Gerry Sobie at NPD phone 250-354-3919 or rj@ nelsonpolice.ca Volunteer application forms are at the front desk of the Nelson Police Department or online on the NPD website. http://nelsonpolice.ca submitted by the Nelson Police Department

Police Reports: copper stolen from tram tracks, alcohol, car break-ins
Nelson has had a large influx of people into the city this past week. This, as a result, made for a busy week for the Nelson Police Department. On Thursday, July 24 the Nelson Police investigated the theft of copper wire from the tram tracks in Lakeside Park. They are short pieces, approx. 10cm long used to ensure proper conductivity between rail gaps. It appears unknown culprits cut sections off that would out of sight of the general public in the park. Likely they will be taken to a metal recycling dealer to be traded for cash. The Nelson Police are asking anyone with information about these thefts, or witness anyone tampering with the tracks to please contact them at 250-354-3919. If you have information and wish to remain anonymous you can also call crime stoppers at 1-800222-8477. It is volunteers that keep our historic local tram running for all of our enjoyment. This thoughtless act will be a costly and time consuming repair for the Nelson Electric Tramway Society. On Friday, July 25 a new arrival to Nelson made himself know to the
community and NPD members with his drinking and belligerent behavior. After three liquor related arrests within 24 hours of his arrival the 46 year old male was charged for causing a disturbance, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and two counts of under the Liquor Control and Licensing Act. He was released with strict conditions and will appear in Nelson Law Courts this fall to answer to the charges. On Friday, July 25 at 11:45 p.m. the Nelson Police noted a large group of people, many having just arrived in Nelson, drinking, smoking drugs, and having a small party in the 400 block Baker St. Members spoke to the group, seized and poured out liquor and laid the appropriate charges. The group was cooperative in cleaning up their mess and members spent some time educating them to the laws that applied to their conduct. It was also pointed out to the group that there are residents in the area that probably did not appreciate the noise they were causing that late at night.
In the early morning hours of Saturday, July 26 a resident of the uphill area noticed a male going through parked cars. She called the Nelson Police and they located an intoxicated 16 year old male with a number of recently stolen items in his possession. He was lodged into cells and held until sober. He was charged with theft under $5000 and possession of stolen property. All items taken on this occasion were return to their proper owners. The Nelson Police Department would like to remind people to lock their vehicle and secure their valuables. Generally, the vehicle is targeted because the items to be stolen are visible from the outside (such as a GPS unit left on the windshield, or spare change left in plain sight). Make sure all windows are closed and doors are locked, even when your car is parked at home. Keep all valuables, as well as iPod cables, GPS mounts and similar items out of sight. submitted by the Nelson Police Department

Opinion&Editorial Do it for us When we look for the development of leisure activities in By Nelson Becker our community we must be focused upon what it is that we need, not what would attract tourists. If what we create truly is prioritized for locals,
the tourists will come because they see that we are having such a good time. A real example of this is our waterfront walkway. We made it for us, yet it is one of our most popular tourist attractions. ArtWalk and MarketFest are other examples of events that we make

Applying for Pensions: A word of advice for those who immigrated or have worked abroad Recent conversations with constituents who are just starting their application process for Canada Pension and by Alex Atamanenko, MP Old Age Security benefits are bringing to light issues that younger members of the Canadian workforce should keep in mind sooner rather than later, in order to avoid unpleasant surprises when retirement time comes. Mr. and Ms. Boomer have always been well regarded wherever they have lived. They even spent some time working in another country for Canadian and foreign employers before they decided to come back home and settle down. When the Boomers applied for their Canada Pension and Old Age Security benefits they had many obstacles to overcome before they saw their first cheque or direct deposit. Suddenly they had to start a frantic search for the old documents that proved when they left Canada, where they worked, for how long and when they returned. They wished they kept
their old passports stamped with all the necessary dates. It would have been helpful if they had kept those old airplane tickets or other documents that showed the dates they entered the foreign country and when they returned to Canada. Keeping old pay stubs or staying in touch with their foreign employer would have been helpful, too. Now it is crunch time—trying to retrieve any useful documents from 35 to 40 years ago, especially from a foreign country, before their savings run out (if they still have some left). This scenario should come as a warning to all Canadians who are travelling abroad for work and still plan to retire in Canada in some distant future. Predicting what regulations will be in force 30 years from now is impossible but it is always better to plan ahead. If you immigrated to Canada as a child on your parents’ passport or visa, you might want to start looking for that old passport. Even if you obtained Canadian citizenship in the meantime, you will still be required to submit the document showing when you first landed in Canada with your pension appli-
cations. If you do not have your original landing document, you will need to request a Verification of Entry from Citizenship and Immigration Canada. It might take some time to get the document, especially if Immigration is required to do a manual search through its records—if you arrived to Canada before computers were put to official use for record keeping. Service Canada advises people to apply for their Old Age Security benefits and the Guaranteed Income Supplement up to 11 months before they turn 65. In April 2013 Service Canada implemented a process to automatically enroll seniors who are eligible to receive the OAS pension. If you can be automatically enrolled, Service Canada will send you a notification letter the month after you turn 64. If you do not receive this letter, you must apply for your OAS. If you have always lived in Canada and have kept your personal records in a safe place, no problem. Otherwise, you might want to start looking for those old immigration documents and get a head start on what can be a lengthy process.

Opinion&Editorial My Opinion
by Spencer Pollard
Art of Imagination Pablo Picasso once said, “Everything you can imagine is real.” I couldn’t agree more with that statement. Reality can be perceived in infinite ways and using our imagination makes those ideas come to life. It’s all about finding your talent and using it in the most efficient and imaginative way possible. In an age of redundancy and stale ideas, our creative spark is now more of a necessity then ever. Despite the financial constraints many of us face in the economic downturn of the past few years, I still
implore anyone who hasn’t done so to turn your ideas into something useful. I’m obviously not asking anyone to quit their job unless they can sustain themselves for an extended period of time. Simply, give yourself the time to pursue your interests in a more fulfilling capacity. Having a creative spark is a gift worthy of sharing it with the world. Sharing your gift with others makes it viewable by others and can get you further in life. Please express yourself in the most fulfilling way and perhaps some of that redundancy can be extinguished.
