Serious police incident in Slocan Lake
On Thursday, Oct. 9, 2014 at 12:21 pm, the Slocan/New Denver RCMP responded to a dispute between two individuals on Slocan West Road near Gravel Pit Road. While on scene, a male suspect allegedly fired upon police with a long rifle before retreating into the surrounding forest. The suspect is believed to be armed with multiple firearms. No members of the public nor RCMP officers have been injured. Additional resources including air support and the Southeast
District Emergency Response Team have been deployed to the scene in order to apprehend the suspect quickly and safely. Due to the nature of the offence and the risk to public safety, police asked the residents within the village of Slocan to remain indoors until further notice. A local school and daycare were initially locked down but have since been evacuated for the safety of the children. As this is an unfolding event with
an alleged armed suspect, the RCMP asks that the movements and locations of responding officers not be divulged through social media. To do so may jeopardize police and public safety. Anyone with specific information that can assist in locating the suspect are asked to call 9-1-1. The RCMP commits to updates when we have further information to provide. http://newdenver.bc.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ submitted by the South East District RCMP
Fire at the Academy of Oriental Sciences Building On Saturday, Oct. 4, at 1:28 a.m. the Nelson Fire Department responded to a report of a fire at the Academy of Oriental Sciences Building. Both on duty members responded immediately with 13 additional members responding from home. Upon arrival of the first crew, smoke was showing from basement and main floor area. The first arriving crew’s primary objective was to make sure the building was evacu-
ated then locate the fire to extinguish. Two occupants inside the building had attempted to extinguish the fire with extinguishers but were unsuccessful. Crews quickly located the fire and extinguished, preventing extension into the rest of the building. The fire appears to have originated in the basement, does appear suspicious in nature and is under investigation by Nelson Fire and Nelson City Police. In all, 15 firefighters responded
to the incident with two fire engines, one ladder truck, one tender truck, one utility vehicle and one personal vehicle. No injuries were reported as a result of this incident. Damage is estimated at about $25,000.00. Nelson Fire Rescue would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone to ensure that their smoke alarms are operating and they have a home fire safety plan. submitted by Nelson Fire Rescue
Castlegar Citizens on Patrol action results in arrests
On Sunday, Sept. 28, at approximately 1:09 a.m., the Castlegar Citizens on Patrol (COP) were making their rounds when they came across a suspicious vehicle that was parked in the back yard area of a local Tow Company located in the 4000 block of Minto Road. The vehicle appeared to be parked in front of a hole that was observed in the fence to the property. COP’s were quick in reporting their observations to Castlegar police as they believed a break, enter and theft were in progress. Castlegar Detachment members and West Kootenay Traffic Services arrived on scene and noted a female passenger inside this vehicle. Police
determined that a male associated to this vehicle was on foot and believed to be inside the compound. Police Dog Services were called to the scene and the police dog was able to track down this male who was hiding on the property. The male sustained minor bite wounds from the police dog incidental to his arrest. A search conducted inside the vehicle revealed various break and enter tools that would assist in committing property crimes. A 42 year old Salmo man and 26 year old Salmo woman have been charged with Break and Enter with intent to commit an indictable offence and possession of break and enter
instruments and have since been released on bail and placed on conditions. First appearance is scheduled for November 10, 2014 at the Castlegar Court house. Citizens on Patrol are trained volunteers governed by the BC Crime Prevention Association who have a mandate to detect disruptive, suspicious and criminal behaviour. These volunteers act essentially as an extra set of ‘eyes and ears’ for the community. Should anyone be interested in joining the Castlegar Citizens on Patrol, they can contact the Castlegar RCMP Detachment at 250-365-7721. submitted by the Castlegar RCMP

Opinion&Editorial My Opinion
by Spencer Pollard
Privacy or lack thereof…
Everyone is connected in some way or another. With the advancement of technology we have grown even more and more closer together, but this technology has also interfered with our privacy. While I don’t think we are at a point of constantly being monitored, I feel that sooner or later that may very well just happen. With the interconnectivity of the Internet and social media, it can be hard to find sanctuary. What I recommend is trying to disconnect from everything
for a few hours a day, at the very least. Another thing I recommend is planning out a week where you don’t use any of these services at all - it will get you back in touch with your human nature as well as get you out of the house, which is another plus. These suggestions will not only get you away from technology, they will also make living your private life even easier. Privacy is a luxury many of us can’t afford as much as we would like. We should try to find whatever we can and get back in touch with what matters to us.

What issue or issues are important to you in order to get you to vote for a candidate?
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/election_issues Watch for this week’s survey question in the Monday Mini. If you are not a subscriber to the Mini you can join our mailing list here. Results and comments will be posted in Friday’s Express News Update.
Last Week’s Survey Question
Do you agree? Some trees in the city should be designated as special or heritage trees.
yes 72.7%
no 21.2%
Other 6.1%
yes and no Too many badly planted already why are new trees being allowed for boulevard planting when they impede visibility at intersections and will get too big and require bad pruning in the future overall too late now as it’s bitched up planning
Do you have other thoughts to share? trees are a living part of this garden we call a city and this planet we call Earth. We need to start working with the Earth recognizing that trees and plants have their time and their place and as such we need to recognize that some trees need to go (they don’t help our garden or they are soon to die) the huge ones near the cemetary gate all deserve protection. Save our trees! Especially after the horrid butchering they just went through on behalf of Nelson Hydro and the city council. An embarrassment to our city and more importantly putting the trees in harm. Some already look like the branches that are still hanging on look like they may fall over at any moment. The tree trimmers should be ashamed! if only we do likewise with our parents, lovers, friends
the City of Nelson still doesn’t have a working policy around how to protect heritage trees - this should be a question that comes forward at the municipal election Trees grow and age and become unstable over time. The safety of the citizens should be the first priority. The city has butchered many beautiful trees this year in the name of electrical wire clearance. I predict many many broken limbs during the first wet snow - and many will fall on houses because the trees are so lop-sided now... I am still upset about the Linden trees that were cut down. it’s the only way to save some special trees forever. What’s the point?
Tricky one. Years ago, people planted trees that now are diseased, and have uprooted cement, foundations, sidewalks, etc. and now are huge. They need to come down now. Heritage designation could hinder that. I love trees a lot, but we need a reasonable attitude to what stays and what goes. I do agree with he uses of the old trees stated above though. Some trees have to be removed due to disease, danger, build homes, etc, or allow for planting of new trees. We must trust the city to do the right thing and not handcuff the staff by heritage designations. I like the idea, but I think the human resources at the City required to make this happen would be better spent on affordable housing issues or green energy and community transportation.
