Nancy Radonich, children’s librarian at the Nelson Public Library, reads to her Tales for Two storytime participants on Wednesday, Jan. 25
Every day is Family Literacy Day at the Nelson Public Library
Family Literacy Day takes place annually on January 27 to encourage families to embrace the learning opportunities inherent in their daily lives. The Nelson Public Library has many ongoing storytime programs for many ages that encourage reading and literacy. The storytimes include songs, rhymes, puppets and feltboard.
Storytimes support early literacy by building vocabulary and sharing ageappropriate literature in a fun and engaging atmosphere. The programs include Preschool Storytime, Tales for Two for two and three year olds and Book Babies for newborns to pre-walkers. Each program starts at 10:15 a.m. and lasts
approximately 30 minutes or longer depending on how much fun is had. The current programs run until March with a new session starting the end of April. For more information and to preregister for the spring storytimes Email nradonich@nelson.ca or call Nancy or Megan at 352-8283 or 352-6333. See related story on page 3.

Domestic dispute On January 20, a Nelson Police officer responded to a suspicious incident at a residence in the Fairview area of Nelson. Police attended and determined the incident was primarily a family dispute involving damage to property and the trashing of the residence. While investigating, a female involved who had fled the scene prior to police’s arrival returned to the residence in a violent rage, driving a vehicle wildly over sidewalks and curbs, apparently attempting to strike another occupant of the residence, and ultimately colliding and damaging two other vehicles parked at the residence. Once the vehicle she was driving became disabled, the lone police officer approached the female who was now further enraged and directing her wrath at the officer, screaming that she was going to kill him. The officer attempted to restrain her, however, she lashed out at the officer, punching him and grabbing at his equipment belt. The officer restrained the female until another officer arrived on the scene and assisted in taking her into custody. Fortunately only superficial injuries were suffered by the female and the officer. The female was taken to hospital under the Mental Health Act for evaluation. She remains under doctor’s care. The total damage to property/vehicles caused by the female during this rampage has not yet been determined. Charges related to the incident are forthcoming, including Dangerous Driving. Submitted by

EcoSociety to temporarily store hazardous waste until alternative is found Carlo Alcos find somewhere to move to, short term, what I’d like to The Nelson Paint Depot, located at 721 Front Street, is set to close up shop at the end of the month. Shelly Baer, who runs the hazardous waste collection depot under the non-profit organization Product Care, said, “We had new landlords take over the building...they gave me my eviction notice. I’ve been here around 10 years now. I got my notice on Dec 5. They want me out by January 30.” She’s tried to

When asked if she knew of anywhere else in town that would be taking in hazardous waste, she said, “At this time I have no idea, I haven’t heard of anyone taking up the contract yet.” David Reid, of the West Kootenay EcoSociety, remarked, “It’s a serious loss to the Nelson community.” With the nearest Product Care facilities being in Castlegar and Trail, he suggested that “in the

Refusing a Breath Sample and received a 90 day driving prohibition. Fortunately the driver did not suffer any injuries in the incident although the vehicle is un-drivable. The driver did, however, cause fairly substantial damage to the bridge guardrail. Submitted by The Nelson City Police

Kootenay Local Agricultural Society offers beekeeping course Starts Saturday, Feb. 18. Pre-registration required KLAS will be holding its fourth Beekeeping for Beginners Course. This is a seven month course that starts with a classroom session in February, followed by 6 fields days with the bees at the bee yard on Mad Dog Farm. The aim is to take start-up beekeepers all the way through their first year of beekeeping. The first course day (classroom session) in Nelson, is designed as a total introduction to beekeeping and is for both people who are interested in bees and those who intend to keep bees. The class size will be limited to 40 people and the course fee is $60/person, $40/KLAS member. The field days are designed for those who have bees and/or want to start keeping bees and are either in their first or second year of beekeeping. Cost for attending field days is $10/person and the basic bee veil is required for protection but we strongly recommend a full bee suit, veil and gloves for those participating. The Kootenay Local Agricultural Society is proud to present this course.
A demonstration was made at one of the field days with a previous beekeeping course
Over the past three years we have had 165 people take this course of which approximately 70 are now beekeepers and over 200 new hives have been introduced into the
Kootenays. For more information, please visit www.kootenaybees.ca or contact KLAS on 250-608-0334 or email: klasociety@shaw.ca
What are greenhouse gases? dr. science Christine Humphries
You have probably heard quite a lot of buzz about greenhouse gases (GHGs) and how their increasing levels are thought to be contributing to a global warming phenomenon. GHGs, as their name implies, are gases that have an effect on the earth similar to glass in a greenhouse. That is, they trap the heat of the sun. Normally, an equal amount of heat from the sun is radiated back into space from the earth. However, GHGs form a layer around the earth that affects which solar and terrestrial radiations can get through. The shorter solar radiations
pass through the GHG layer and warm up the earth. The earth then radiates heat back as a longer infrared radiation. The GHGs prevent these terrestrial radiations from passing back into space; because this radiation can not escape into space and is redirected downward back towards earth, the atmosphere around earth warms up. Many scientists believe that the GHGs are causing global warming which could have devastating impacts on life on earth. The Kyoto protocol has identified six major GHGs: three are gases found naturally (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N20)) and three are human-made, (hydroflurocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)). The
most abundant GHG is CO2. This gas is normally recycled by natural processes, such as photosynthesis, that remove it from the atmosphere. Human activities, like burning fossil fuels or deforestation, have increased CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. The natural processes can no longer remove all the CO2 from the atmosphere, and billions of tonnes of CO2 collect in the atmosphere annually. You can check out the Government of Canada website for a neat calculator to find out how much GHG emissions you produce and tips on reducing your emissions. http://www.changementsclimatiques.gc.ca/calculator/english/

Seizures in dogs: The five most important natural remedies
Pets - Purely Natural By: Dr. Andrew Jones If your dog has epilepsy, then you really should be looking at some of the alternative remedies for treating seizures. Conventional treatment typically consists of two veterinary drugs, Phenobarbital and Potassium bromide, which both have numerous side effects. This article will cover the types of seizures in dogs, causes, and the most important natural remedies. There are reports that show a link between diet
and seizures in dogs. One human study showed a marked reduction in seizure activity with patients on the Atkins diet. Every pet having a seizure should at least try a commercial hypoallergenic diet for 12 weeks. Most alternative practitioners are strongly advising a holistic diet, naturally preserved, free of grains, and primarily animal protein. There is one acupressure point that can be particularly helpful. GV26 is the most important one, as it can help stop a seizure. It is where the nose meets the upper lip (immediately below the nostrils). This is a key one for CPR, as it can trigger your pet to breathe. Hold the point for 1 minute during a seizure. Essential Fatty Acids
may potentially decrease brain inflammation. Here you want to have high doses and therapeutic levels of the the EFA’s; the dose being 1000mg per 10lbs of body weight daily. That equates to 1 tablespoon of flax oil per 50lbs daily. There are 2 homeopathic remedies that have been reported to be helpful by some holistic practitioners. Belladona can be given twice daily in addition to the conventional medication; the dose being one 30C tab per 30lbs twice daily. Aconite is useful for sudden conditions ( such as during a seizure), dosing it at one 30C tab per 30lbs every 15 minutes. Choline is used for certain human nerve disorders; it helps make a nerve chemical called acetyl-
choline. A specific choline product that can help seizures in dogs is called Cholidin. It can be given with conventional medication, at a dose of 1-2 pills daily for a small dog, and 2-4 pills given daily for a large dog. You should now have a good understanding of seizures in dogs, and the classification of grand mal or localized. Most causes of seizures are unknown; they are then called epilepsy. If you have dog having a seizure, I encourage you to try some of the holistic options in conjunction with your veterinarian. You may be able to decrease the frequency of the seizures, or lower the amount of conventional medication.

Dr. Andrew Jones resigned from the College of Veterinarians of B.C. effective December 1st 2010, meaning he cannot answer specific questions about your pet’s medical issues or make specific medical recommendations for your pet

What do you think of dogs on Baker St.? click here www.surveymonkey.com/s/Dogs_in_Nelson Last week we asked our readers whether or not they thought that marijuana should be legalized/decriminalized.
94% said yes, 6% said no.
GIVE police authority to take blood tests at every violent domestic fight, and every moving traffic violation and ANY illegal drug found means jail time no plea bargain. Give employers / schools right to demand monthly blood tests and ANY illegal drug means fired / expelled, no recourse. Then go ahead and legalize all the drugs you want. This is only slightly oversimplified, for survey purposes. BOOZE and cigarettes kill more people then marijuana. They are problematic substances and are perfectly legal. Marijuana is now showing it cures some forms of cancer and medicinally can be quite helpful for those suffering with serious ailments (sometimes caused by cigarettes). I think legalizing this is a no brainer. IF we take this long-overdue step, we must remember to emphasize the spiritual gifts and demands of this Noble Herb! MARIJUANA is not illegal because of our health. It is an old and outdated law which was used to promote the use of synthetic materials! I love my weed, I’m 61, been smoking it sinceI was 15, and am a solid member of my community! IT’S about time!
BECAUSE marijuana is not legal it has enabled organized crime to sell and distribute the plant. LEGALIZE all drugs. YES, approach it as a public health issue similar to tobacco and we will have less people smoking it and fewer kids in jail. What we’re doing now is not working and putting kids (19-25yrs) in jail is destroying families and communities. WE need to legalize and regulate cannabis. People who support prohibition are supporting organized crime. ALLOW everyone who wants to, grow their own, indoors or in the garden, and use the billions of $$ saved in police, court and jail costs to improve education and health care. STOP living in a haze and start paying some taxes. LEGALIZE ALL drugs IT is a no brainer. Tax it to death like they do alcohol and let us benefit from its production. I wonder what the growers think of this one. I understand that the growing community played a huge role in preventing it from happening in the California referendum. IT’S here in abundance, time to ‘get with it’
PROHIBITION has never worked, except for those who profit from keeping it illegal, drug trafficers and the law enforcement industry. Money would be better spent by putting dollars now spent on punishing people into education and rehabilitation instead. LESS violent than booze, less addictive than smoking yet still illegal... uh? WHILE I rarely smoke marijuana myself, as a health care worker I encounter many people who do. A few become addicted to it, but most report significant relief from pain and stress. Some even successfully fend off cravings for much more damaging drugs including alcohol, heroin, cocaine and methamphetamines. Taking it out of the hands of organized crime would also be a clear step forward. MAKE it legal for rec use... only...if there is PROPER! control in order to kill the criminal aspect. I’M really tired of seeing people make a ton of money from growing and selling pot and not paying taxes on it. Maybe if it was legalized, and sold legitimately, the taxes paid on it could go towards health care and education in this province.
MARIJUANA is harmless - making it illegal is, in my opinion, the criminal act THE war on drugs is a bust. This prohibition is causing violence from Colombia to Vancouver. End the prohibition violence. IT’S the most useful vegetable in the world. Marijuana has been a companion plant to humans for thousands of years. We are “hempdeprived” as individuals and society. The uses of the plant are manifold, in many areas: textiles, chemistry, plastics, medicine, biofuel, and food. Prohibition supports only the oil industry and the prison industry. AT least when it is legalized those who buy it will know what they are getting and taxes will be collected and the underground economy will be wiped out...I hope any way...it will keep people out of jail and the people who are dealers now will have to consider getting a real job!!! C’MON already... I am not political but it maybe time for all to join the Federal Liberal Party to show Harper how we feel about his thoughts on Marijuana SOMEDAY I hope all God given plants will be legal again.

Opinion&Editorial Mischief is in the eyes of the beholder
Dear Editor,
About mischief. I agree that taking the top off a saltshaker is mischief. However, as a victim I have experienced that if your neighbours harass you and, after being warned by the RCMP to stop their nasty behaviour they continue, they can be charged by the police with mischief. Mischief can include such things as the use of abusive and extreme-
ly vulgar language, an enraged man raising his fist to a woman’s face, or trying to take a run at her with a snow mobile. The dictionary describes mischief as anything from “not malicious behaviour, usually of children,” to “injury or harm caused by a person or thing.” (Collins English Dictionary.) So, mischief is in the eyes of the beholder and can include a wide range of actions. Ann Alma, Beasley
