Nelson pool closed indefinitely due to ceiling issue The pool including the sauna, steam room and hot tub at the Nelson and District Community Complex are closed for an undetermined period due to a faulty ceiling, the Regional District of Central Kootenay announced on Wednesday. “What’s important to us is that no one was seriously

injured by the portion of the ceiling that came down, and that our staff and the public are safe,̈ said Joe Chirico, General Manager of Community Services. After ceiling tiles fell into the pool area on January 28, the RDCK completed an initial assessment of the ceiling and has determined that the roof structure and

the building itself are structurally sound. The RDCK is now awaiting professional advice on specific steps necessary to fix the problem ceiling. “Our initial information is that the t-bar ceiling will have to be removed and this could take some time, so our pool staff and clients will definitely be affected,̈

said Chirico. The fitness centre including the change rooms and ice arena remain open. Anyone with questions about refunds for classes or bookings can phone the NDCC Customer Service Desk beginning February 1 at 250-354-4386 or email NelsonRec@rdck.bc.ca submitted by the RDCK

On Tuesday, January 29 at approximately 7:30 p.m., the Slocan Lake RCMP Detachment and West Kootenay Traffic Services attended a single car fatality on Highway 6, north of Slocan City in the bluff

area. A pickup truck with two occupants failed to negotiate a left hand curve on the highway and went into the pull out and over the embankment. The vehicle was engulfed in flames on

attendance and two unidentified bodies were located inside the vehicle, both deceased. At the time of the incident, the roads were snow covered and it was snowing heavily.

The B.C. Coroner’s Service and the West Kootenay Traffic Services are continuing their investigation. Neither deceased has been identified at this time. submitted by the RCMP

Dogs and ‘French’ Heartworm

Pets - Purely Natural

By: Dr. Andrew Jones

Angiostrongylus vasorum, otherwise known as lungworm, is a parasite that lives in the in the lungs and hearts of foxes, coyotes, wolves and dogs. It was first found in France, and is known as the ‘French’ Heartworm. How does your dog acquire it? Adult worms live in the arteries of the lung (pul-

monary arteries) A female worm releases eggs into the blood which find their way to the small vessels in the lungs (capillaries) The eggs become small worms, larvae, which pass into the airways of the lungs. The larvae are coughed up and swallowedthey then leave your dogs body in the stool (feces). Slugs and snails ingest the larvae in the stool, they then progress to the next life stage, and are ready to be consumed by more dogs, continuing the cycle. The consumed larvae are able to go through your dog’s intestinal wall, and migrate to the pulmonary arteries. Clinical Signs are primarily associated with how your dog’s lungs and heart are affected.

Some dogs are asymptomatic ( show few clinical signs), while others can show serious signs: Persistent cough, breathing difficulty, crackles on listening to the lungs, elevated lung blood pressure leading to a heart murmur, lack of energy, weight loss, vomiting, diarrhea, and in even more serious cases, blood disorders. There can be problems with blood clotting leading to bleeding in different areas ( ie stomach, chest cavity), signs of bleeding in the skin (petechia), and nose bleeding. Fortunately there are a few safe conventional antiparasitics to treat this disease. Milbemycin oxime, otherwise known as Milbemax, can be given at a dose of .5mg/kg once daily for 4

weeks. Fenbendazole ( known as Panacur) can be given at the dose of 20-50mk/kg daily for 5-21 days. (Source, Conboy GA. Canine angiostrongylus: Vet Parasitol 2011;176:382-389) As this is much more of a problem in Europe, the large drug companies have come up with more solutions, and Bayer makes a product called ‘Advocate’...”A simple but effective treatment for Angiostrongylus vasorum is Advocate® which is available as a monthly spot on preparation, which is also used to treat fleas.” Clearly this is not required yet, but if this is to become an established endemic disease, then it may be needed in some areas.

Rust spots on basement walls Home Front

by Bill Lynch, Paul Muntak & Steve Cannon

Exactly why the problem appears at the lower interior door corners is difficult to determine. It may be that these locations are the most convenient “lightning rods” for the problem to manifest. Let’s put aside the symptoms for a moment and focus on the cause of these rust stains, which, if not plumbing leaks, is most likely high humidity. It would be worth the cost of a small hydrometer ($30) to monitor the relative humidity in your home, which should be within a 30

I own a 1970s one-storey house with a basement. The house is heated with electric baseboards. At the bases of the interior door openings the metal drywall corners are all rusting. You can see the rust bleeding through the drywall plaster. What’s happening and why in these spots only? per cent to 40 per cent range. Relative humidity higher than this can wick into drywall and cause mildew and mould on window glazing and the bases of walls. To aggravate the problem, because your baseboards provide passive radiant heat, the house air may not adequately circulate. Consider some or all of the following recommendations. Install several ceiling fans throughout your home to get the interior air moving. Install a dehumidistat, located on an interior wall in the centre of the main floor. Connect the dehumidi-

stat to a quiet bathroom fan and set it to the manufacturer’s specifications. Install and use exhaust fans in all bathrooms and above your kitchen range. Control roof water at the exterior foundation walls by installing gutters, downspouts and leaders. Although controlling exterior water may seem irrelevant, some of the uncontrolled roof water soaks through foundation walls and floors and winds up as humidity in your home water supply pipes will travel through a floor cavity that is located above an unheated

area such as a garage, carport or cold storage room. Again, increasing insulation, re-routing the pipes and/or heat tape are the most common solutions. Until the frozen pipes are thawed leave your kitchen sink taps open. Try a quick fix by installing a portable electric heater under the sink (away from flammables) and leave a remote cold water tap trickling to help forestall other water pipes in the house from freezing until the problem is rectified with a permanent solution.

A can of pop is can create highly “phyzzy” artificially carbonated by drinks.

The space between the soda pop and the top of the can must also be kept pressurized to keep the CO2 in solution until the pop can is opened. The temperature of the pop can also affect how much CO2 is in solution. Many pop drinkers have noticed that warm pop phizzes more than cold pop. This occurs for two reasons. First because as temperature increases the solubility of gas decreases; so as the temperature rises, more of the CO2 comes out of solution. In addition,

the volume of the gas also increases with temperature (Charles’ Law), causing it to “explode” out of the can when it is opened. There is also an inverse relationship between the pressure and volume of gas. As the pressure is released when the can is opened, the volume of the CO2 expands, again contributing to how much is released. Just beware of shaking a can of pop, this causes the CO2 to come out of solution and you might get more phizz than pop in your can!

Opinion&Editorial Regarding backyard chickens & bear attraction

Dear Editor, I had a flock of 25 -35 chickens in Harrop-Procter for 10 years. In that time there were cougars and bears on the property and relatively near my coop and free ranging chickens. There was no electrified fence around my coop (there were however many coils of barbed wire around the place where a former owner had kept his bee hives). In that entire time the only predation of my chickens was by a skunk. I certainly agree that unsecured feed, compost that is not properly active, fruit left on trees or the ground and food waste in garbage left out are irresponsible and much more of an issue. It makes more (although little) sense to proscribe composting because the city does not have the resources to police our compost piles, than it does to forbid the keeping of chickens. Perhaps if we were less Canadian about politely mentioning to each other our concerns regarding attracting wildlife, but also made more time to help each other out and sought help when we had a misunderstanding, we would not be placing such a burden on local government. Cities Difficulty are sandwiched between aging infrastructure, citizenry with high expectations and downloading from other levels of government. Sincerely, Andre Piver MD

Opinion&Editorial Publisher’s note

There was a protest last Monday at the crossroads of Baker and By Nelson Becker Ward streets. Approximately 50 people marched in support of Idle No More. Their intent was to draw attention to the Idle No More movement. In my life, I have been to many demonstrations. In my experience, this one, while it may have been small, was unique. When I arrived, the demonstration was already underway and I could see that a Nelson City Police officer was speaking to one of the demonstrators. I thought, “Oh, crap! Please don’t let there be a confrontation.” As I got closer, I could hear the actual conver-

sation that was taking place. I need not have worried about a confrontation. The police were asking people to pause their demonstration for a few minutes so that the police could hold traffic back and allow the demonstrators time to make their point. It was clear to me that the officer felt he was protecting people’s democratic right to free speech. Once the police had stopped traffic, the demonstrators then took over the centre of our community, chanting, drumming and rotating in concentric circles. After a period of time, the demonstrators felt they had made their point. As they proceded to leave, one of the demonstrators shouted “Thanks!” to the Nelson City Police and everyone cheered. I love my town!

Failure is subjective

Some might argue that we should abolish failing our students. I disagree. The “F” has been a dreaded grade for many and most of us have been lucky to avoid it. I have not. I scored an F in my first semester in college and I felt humiliated but I deserved it. If the “F” or even a “D” was abolished, how exactly are students supposed to improve their quality of work? You could make the argument by not having failing grades you’ll raise the students self-esteem but I don’t think deluding them into believing they are doing better then they

actually are is the solution. They may graduate but could find out the slacking they did will impact how they do in college or in future jobs. By abolishing failing grades, students won’t have a realistic perspective of the outside world. What might have worked in school may not work in the workplace. Regardless of your stance on this issue, the ultimate thing that’s important is to invest yourself in your child’s future. Understand what they are learning and help out however you can. The real success is determined by both the parent and the child.

A campground but with a park setting that is open to the residents of Nelson as well as a music pavilion for cultural events. IT is unfortunate that there couldn’t be a more sk9M000050 direct road to a campground from the newly developing Chamber of Commerce at the Rall Town area that would provide a direct link to a campground. A campground development would be inexpensive chioce and if unsuccessful (which I don’t think it will be) will not tie up the land for an indefinite period in the future. It’s a viable use of the land that provides access for all. SOMETHING dog friendly IT is a great asset to Nelson to keep the water front for all to enjoy. If we have housing built on the water front it will become an investment for the out of towners and for the locals not to enjoy

THEY should have thought about the appropriate use of the property before burdening the taxpayers to pay millions for relocation, and millions more to get there. The carbon footprint, for what it’s worth, will be a lot bigger too. THIS is where our kids skatepark should be located. Rosemont is a terrible idea HEY, if we can have a campground on an old cemetary site, why not have one on a dump? CAN’T comment not knowing how much space will be available?? SUNNY waterfront land is always at a premium. It’s best use is communal. Park, green space, garden plots.... IT should not be developed. Let’s leave some space on the waterfront with just a view of nature, not hotels, marinas, etc.

InMemory Curtis James Ivor Liboiron June 11, 1981 – January 15, 2013

Curtis died at the young age of 31 after a hard, two year battle with colorectal cancer. His remaining family, who will miss him dearly, are his six-year-old daughter, Mila, his two sisters, Max and Mel, his parents, Lori and Jerome, and his grandparents Jim, Anne and Doris. Curtis will always be held in our hearts and remembered as a man who thought outside the box, a lover of nature and animals, a man with a big heart, a great sense of humour, a hater of destructive governments... He had many difficult hurdles in his life, but maintained a sense of humour and ethics through all of them. He was a hard worker and spent much of his life selflessly labouring to take care of his family. Curtis was a fabulous dad with a skilled and fun style of parenting. He had an undying love, devotion, and commitment to his daughter.

Even in his last days when he found it difficult to speak, he was sure to thank everyone who came through our door for their aid and support. He asked us to be sure to thank everyone again. Thank you to those who brought endless streams of food, (especially Paul’s kitchen), those who have visited and have sat with him and with us, those who came from near and far to celebrate his daughter’s birthday, the wonderful people who have already put in hours towards Mila’s Legacy House, and all of you who have touched our hearts and souls. We want to especially thank all those who are connected with the medical system. Drs. Brian Woodward, Katie MacIntyre, Philip Malpass, Marnie Jacobsen, and Lloyd Mack at the Tom Baker Cancer center in Calgary; the home care workers, especially Monica; the home care nurses, especially Margot; the

awesome staff at Kootenay Lake hospital (all of you were so great); the emergency staff including Lori, the housekeeping staff who leant me her phone, all of the third floor staff, the Chemo gang, and the pharmacists Liz and Emily; the KLH social worker Dave; the faithful Winlaw paramedics Dean, Ruth and Cathy; the staff at the Kelowna cancer Lodge especially Maureen, and so many others. We also want to thank the staff of Winlaw School, the Native Elders, our fabulous friends and our awesome community for caring for us. Thank you all. In his own words Curtis said, “Just want to say thanks to everyone who has made my stay here so great. It was a short but fun one. Regrets? I should have traveled more. See you all on the flip side. Will miss you all ...till then. Good bye.” A celebration Curtis’ life will be held in the spring.

John Ignatovich Antifaeff November 15, 1929-January 22, 2013

John Ignatovich Antifaeff was born in Arran, Saskatchewan, the third of four children to parents Helen and Edward Antifaeff. At age six he moved with his family to Blewett, BC. On December 8, 1951 John married Leda Pozdnikoff, and they enjoyed 61 years of marriage. They made their first home at 49 Creek in Blewett before moving closer to Blewett store, then to Fairview in Nelson. At age 15 John started work for the Canadian Pacific Railway, then worked as a deckhand sailing the Arrow Lake on the CPR steam boats, the SS Minto and the SS Columbia. John worked with the sawmill industry in many capacities including sawyer, saw fitter, benchman and saw filer until retiring from Kootenay Forest Products in 1984. John was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. He was a self-taught builder and built the two family homesteads in Blewett, mastering the trades as carpenter, plumber, mason and electrician. When he wasn’t building, he could be found gardening,

solving puzzles, writing poetry or fixing and inventing things like his solar water heater. He enjoyed many family outings as well as getting together with friends for card games or games of pool. John had a passion for the outdoors and spent many happy hours bringing in firewood, picking mushrooms and huckleberries. He was an avid fisherman and especially enjoyed the company of his many fishing buddies. In their latter years, John and Leda enjoyed camping at Lost Ledge, fishing and enjoying nature together. John lived at Mountain Lakes Seniors Community for ten months. He passed away peacefully with family by his side, his wife holding his hand. He was 83 years old. John leaves behind his devoted wife Leda; his loving children Nick (Wendy) Antifaeff, John (Sylvia) Antifaeff, Carolyn (Wayne) Ludwar, Verna (Rob) McRory; eleven grandchildren Aaron (Kelsey) Antifaeff, Eric Antifaeff, Sacha (Steve) Soltys, Virginia Naismith, Karl Naismith, Michelle Antifaeff, Marlisa Antifaeff, Krista (Ryan) Hickey, Sarah Ludwar, Peter McRory and Shannon McRory; one great granddaughter Courtney Enns; sister Katie Derhousoff; and numerous cousins, nephews, nieces and friends. John was predeceased by his par-

ents; brother Mike Antifaeff; sister Helen Tagami; brother-in-laws George Planiden, John Derhousoff and Sueyo Tagami; and sister-in-law Elizabeth Antifaeff. Funeral services were held January 25 and 26, 2013 at Thompson Funeral Home followed by interment in Nelson Memorial Park. Pallbearers were Fred Strukoff, Wayne Ludwar, Rob McRory, Aaron Antifaeff, Eric Antifaeff and Steve Soltys. Thank you nephew and cousin Leonard Voykin for your guidance, compassion and officiating during the service. Thank you to Drs.Bridger and Janz, the staff at Mountain Lakes, Home and Community Support, Linda Warren, and Thompson Funeral Home for your professional and compassionate care. Many thanks to all our family and friends who provide John’s family love and support during our time of need. God Bless You All! John will be dearly missed and always remembered fondly. Rest in Peace...”peace like a river”, John, Dad, Deda, Grandpa, PJ.
