Transition Nelson offers free Good Neighbour mediator training Transition Nelson Society announced that the Nelson Good Neighbour Program will launch this Spring. In March, there will be a mediation training course to support this program through Selkirk College. The program’s purpose is to strengthen our social fabric and reduce demand on municipal resources. Volunteer mediators will be available to help neighbours resolve disputes and build
relationships in an empowering, confidential, and nonadversarial setting. The program also aims to highlight the ways that neighbourhood helps individuals to recognize and value each other’s needs. The program is recruiting 16 volunteers to take the initial three-day training March 30, 31 and April 1st at no charge. There will be a minimum commitment to provide at least one media-
tion and attend one meeting per month when required, for at least one year. Individuals will be supported with a mentor accompanying them on their first call out, and work in teams of two, as well as attend de-briefing sessions. Trainees will participate in designing the logistics of the program and respond to requests for mediation from fellow Nelsonites. Community members will be invited to contact the
program for assistance, or they may be referred by city agencies or other organizations. For more information about the NELSON GOOD NEIGHBOUR PROGRAM or to download an application for the training, wouldbe mediators must go to www.transitionnelson.org and click on “Nelson Good Neighbour Program”.

Opinion&Editorial Enbridge to Nowhere Currently being deliberated on is the proposed Enbridge pipeline, which would run from the notoriously destructive Alberta oil sands, to the lush and biologically diverse BC coast. Home to the world’s only Spirit bears, black bears that possess a recessive gene causing their fur to be white, this particular portion of pristine wilderness, located near Kitimat BC, will be absurdly vulnerable to environmental catastrophe should the pipeline burst or an oil tanker crash in the area. One of the greatest dangers in this oily equation is the convoluted and often foggy route through which the full tankers must travel, an area that resulted in the unfor-

tunate sinking of the Queen of the North ferry, a much smaller vessel than the supertankers that may travel the very same waterway. Another disturbing notion is that in the event of oil spilling from a ship, the Enbridge Company would not be liable for the cleanup, leaving BC taxpayers stuck with the bill, which would no doubt be enormous. It would seem as though the money gained from this risky pipeline could likely end up only paying for a portion of the problems it creates and it appears unfathomably and utterly foolish that this gamble of a project be undertaken when our very future is what’s at stake.

Nelson Becker Liberals made this statement based on a perception of what the majority of Canada wants. Legalizing marijuana and regulating its use does not mean that its use is being encouraged. By legalizing and regulating marijuana, many more resources would be available for discouraging its use through education and information. This is the only way of successfully reducing the use of marijuana. People will take drugs whether they are legal or not. We can point to how education has affected cigarette consumption and reduced that behaviour. While the Liberals have taken this issue on, because of its health aspects it should be taken on by all political parties. The legalization of marijuana should not be a legal issue, but a health issue.
Legalize marijuana use
In the early 1970’s the Trudeau government, in an effort to lend reasonability to the issue of legalization of marijuana consumption, instituted the LeDain Commission. After exhaustive study and research they concluded that Canada’s policy at that time needed to change and become more liberalized. Since then there have been numerous studies done since then about marijuana’s dangers and benefits. The federal Liberal party suffered tremendous political loss in the last election. They recently announced a new agenda for the party in an effort to regain their political losses. One of these policy shifts was the platform that marijuana needed to be legalized and regulated. This is the first time any of the major political parties has come out in such an overt fashion. The

Irene Gladys Truant (nee Grodzki) September. 24, 1916 - January 12, 2012.
Irene passed away peacefully on Wednesday at Jubilee Manor at the age of 95. Irene was born in Nelson to Lucas and Eustachia Grodzki.. She was predeceased by her husband, Primo (Bimbo), her children, Lenny and Donna Truant, and her grandson, Michael Frei, her brothers, Len and Art Grodzki, her sister Victoria Grizzelle (Grodzki), and her nephew, Rick Grodzki. She is survived by a grandson, Shane Frei, nieces, Judy Cary (Grodzki), and Joan Grodzki, her sister-in-law, Colleen Grodzki, her grandniece, Kerri Grodzki, and grandnephews, Jon and Mark Edmunds, Glover Cary, and Ryan Tedford (Grodzki), and seven great-grand nieces and nephews - she will be missed. Irene grew up and went to school in Nelson. As kids you could always find her and her brothers either on the lake or climbing up Elephant Mountain, as that was their playground. Soon after graduating high school, Irene went to Vancouver and successfully trained and worked as a Registered Nurse in the lower mainland. When she married in 1948 she moved to Natal, and later to Creston, where her and her husband lived for over 30 years. She came back to Nelson in 1985. Irene loved being with her family and her friends, she had a generous and loving spirit, and she always welcomed
