Authors offer writing retreat Thursday to Sunday, Oct. 16 – 19 in Kaslo at author’s home Writing can be a confusing business when you’re twenty or thirtythousand words in, but author Holley Rubinsky has the answer. She’s been offering writing retreats at her Kaslo home since 2011, giving writers dedicated writing time and targeted feedback — leading ultimately to success. For her upcoming retreat, she’s invited Nelson author Anne DeGrace to help collaborate with five engaged, committed writers over the four-day intensive. At the conclusion of the retreat, writers can expect to emerge with new understanding, direction and thousands of words to move their projects forward. Two weeks later, DeGrace and Rubinsky will meet with participants in person or online to assess and offer support. www.holleyrubinsky.com/events.htm

Cyclist hit in Trail
At approximately 8:23 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 30, .there was an accident at the intersection of Glover Road and Highway 3B in downtown Trail where a cyclist was struck by a vehicle. The cyclist was flown to Kelowna Hospital for treatment and is currently in stable condition with nonlife threatening injuries. The accident is still under investigation, however, the accident occurred after sunset and the cyclist was not wearing any reflective gear and there were no lights on the bike. This may have been a contributing factor in the accident. submitted by the Trail RCMP

Emergency 911 NPD - Non Emergency (250) 354-3926 RCMP- (250) 352-2156 Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-8477
Suspects sought in South Slocan theft
photo submitted
If anyone should recognize these two individuals please contact either the Nelson RCMP at 250-3522156 or Crime Stoppers.
The Nelson RCMP are seeking the assistance of the General Public in identifying two suspects that were responsible for breaking and entering into Gold Island Forest Products in South Slocan on Sunday, Sept. 28. The two suspects made off with an undisclosed amount of various tools from the mill. submitted by the Nelson RCMP
Police Reports: drunk driving increases in Nelson Just before midnight Friday, Sept. 26 the Nelson Police received a call via 911 about a hit & run that had occurred in the Fairview area. Nelson Police members responded and located the vehicle and its driver on Front Street at Cedar St. The vehicle had stopped because of the damaged sustained in the collisions or the driver would have continued to try and leave the area. Once in custody the driver was found to be operating the vehicle
under the influence of liquor and on an expired foreign license. In total 5 parked vehicles and two roadway signs were damaged. Fortunately no one was hurt. The 23 year old male is facing charges for impaired driving, failing to remain at the scene of an accident, driving without a license, and driving without consideration for others. Between July 1-Sept 1, 2014, 15 people in Nelson have been served
90 day roadside prohibitions. This is double the number from the same time period last year. The good news is that changes to British Columbia’s laws against driving while impaired have reduced fatal crashes as well as ambulance calls and hospital admissions resulting from motor vehicle crashes, according to a recent study. submitted by the Nelson Police Department
Private prosecution under the Federal Fisheries Act laid in the Lemon Creek Spill Jet Fuel discharged into Lemon Creek and entering the Slocan River and Kootenay River killing fish and harming aquatic ecology July 26, 2013 has resulted in charges being laid under the Fisheries Act, by long time Slocan Valley resident, Marilyn Burgoon. Ms. Burgoon states: “Jet fuel is definitely a deleterious substance and the 33 000 litres that spilled into the creek on July 26, 2013 killed many fish. In the report written by SNC Lavelin (worked for the company to do the clean –up) they admitted to collecting 261 dead fish. Local residents have dead fish in their freezers
and the clean-up crew was directed to throw dead fish, animal and bird carcasses back into the river. Therefore the exact count will never be known. Burgoon’s lawyer, Lilina Lysenko and Ms Burgoon met with an Environment Canada official and followed up with e-mails but the Department still has not taken any action. Ms. Burgoon was advised that although Environment Canada also has jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute, the Province was the lead in this investigation. As a result of the inaction on the part of both levels of government, with help from the West Coast
Environmental Dispute Resolution fund Ms Burgoon has filed a private prosecution. Further Ms. Lysenko states: “The Fisheries Act specifically provides for private prosecutions by individuals. In addition, the right of a private citizen to lay a charge is considered a fundamental part of Canada’s criminal justice system. If government is not going to apply the laws of Canada, it is up to the people to do so. I had no choice but to launch a private prosecution and let a judge review the evidence.” submitted by Lilina Lysenko, Barrister & Solicitor

Opinion&Editorial My Opinion
by Spencer Pollard
What your possessions say about you
What ideology I see perpetuated rather frequently is the non-importance of material objects in the grand spectrum of things. Our reliance on material objects may sometimes interfere with our interpersonal relationships with friends, family, anyone who has any real bearing on us. However, just because these relationships are important, it doesn’t completely invalidate the impact of material goods. Our possessions tell us
stories, stories of what we’ve accomplished and what we enjoy. Most of my best memories stem from something that would classify as a material item. Our possessions may speak volumes on who we are, but they aren’t the only things out there that define us. Our actions, and whom we associate ourselves with, also show others who we are. So, feel free to indulge in whatever material interest you have, just make time for those who matter.

Opinion&Editorial Trees have heritage value
We are surrounded by trees, inside and outside of town. We are dependent upon By Nelson Becker our trees as a resource, as oxygen producers, and for the beauty that they give to our visions. Trees do not live forever. And sometimes they are incompatible with our urban life for safety reasons. Because trees last so long, we become
attached to them. Sometimes trees are even given names. When a tree does come down we are often are sad and feel that we have lost a friend. Recently, several trees in Lakeside Park were removed. I propose that trees are a part of our community’s heritage and that trees that have special meaning for us should be so designated. When such a tree must come down because it has reached the end of its life, we could cut it
into slabs so that people could take it home with them to create tables or other furniture. Or perhaps, if that is not done, it could be donated to the Selkirk woodworking program for creating their fine woodworking products. In spite of my support for local trees, I find that I am not at all attached to my neighbour’s trees that are blocking my view to the mountains beyond.
Homelessness study money should be spent doing, not studying Commentary by Suzzanne Chappell Tansi. Greetings and salutations. The purpose for this letter is to assist to set forth a plan and program concerning the homeless situation in the City and region. Firstly, I would like to introduce myself, Suzzanne Chappell, a 25 year constituent of the Slocan valley and Nelson. I am a registered Metis and mother of five. I know some of the individuals in the homeless predicament and have been there myself on occasion when low cost housing has been hard to find. I am just lucky I have family and friends here, but for those who don’t facing a crisis like this with winter coming can be not only disheartening but downright depressing. The idea to spend $5000 on a study is simply absurd. We know what the problem is and spending that money on anything other than a real solution is wasteful and ludicrous. The situation is obvious to any thinking person …there is simply not enough low cost housing here, and something must be done about it now! Being practical and frugal here I have a solution that may just work:
Spend the money actually building a camp. Somewhere not too far from town, but within bus range and the area must have water nearby, and we are talking about a half acre space that can be rented or donated. People involved and chartiable folk can sign up to be part of the work party to assist in the building of straw bale units ( perhaps 6 at a cost of around $500 each in materials), an outhouse, and tarped over kitchen using propane burners / wood stove and a clay oven can be built for when no power is available. Tents would have to also be allowed. The system works on contributism. Each person who stays there longer than a week must: Sign up for work detail for 12 hours a month doing volunteer services to assist the camp and companies that would be open to helping out the camp- by fair exchange. Those who are working/ on welfare can contribute $50 per paycheque to the camp costs, those who are not can do 2 hours a day of helping out in exchange for their room and board. This way these people have an opportunity to feel like they are a
helpful part of society, to give something back in a beneficial manner. It does wonders for the self esteem. There are several societies and nonprofit organisations/ local growers and interested groups who can and would help out with this project if asked. A coordinator must be engaged who knows the organisations and is a familiar with the people involved and has trust with them. This person would have to do intake and report on who is at the camp and coordinate work detail and liaison with local authorities to help maintain order and good conduct. I wish to be a part of it and am willing to put the effort into making it a reality. I am asking the CIty of Nelson to do something good, something amazing, something everybody wants to see and would honestly be a landmark of good intentions creating something workable and a precedent setting format for other cities facing the same problem. I ask the City of Nelson to give this opportunity to real people who matter and if given a chance can be contributing members of our society.

I think someone should organize a rally to draw attention to the escalating cost of electricity billed to us by Fortis and supported by the BC Utilities Commission. Of course, all of them! Isn’t that what good citizenship is all about?
Fish Heads and Flowers Fish Heads to the gas station attendant who refused to help me when my vehicle was leaking gas after I had filled up. You’re not suppose to move a vehicle unless the hazard is removed. I asked you to call the fire department for help and you didn’t. When the fire department got there you had the right absorbent to get rid of the Gas and you didn’t help. I think there should be some sort of course you should have to take to deal with this situation. My vehicle could have caught on fire. Shame on you for yelling at me because I was doing the right procedure. Signed: Upset Father
