Sarah Calvert at Expressions Friday, Mar. 1, 8 p.m. at Expressions, 554 Ward Street in Nelson by Nelson Becker

Sarah Calvert is a marvelous performer whose songs and instrumentation will entertain you and take you away. Sarah used to live in Nelson and I used to have the great opportunity to have her over at my home where she would jam on her own or with friends that would come by. At that time she was very intent on becoming a performer and traveling musician. Even then her music was transformative. I’ve been watching her videos and listening to her creations and her abilities have doubled and re-doubled. I really look forward to her live performance. Please join me for a truly magical evening with Sarah at Expressions on Saturday, March 1 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $12 and are available at the door or in advance by calling 250-354-3910.

The City of Nelson recognized for tackling climate change The City of Nelson has been recognized at the Sustainable Communities Conference in Windsor, Ontario for taking steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and improve energy efficiency. Councillor Paula Kiss was on hand at the recognition ceremony last week to represent the City in their achievement of Milestones 1, 2, and 3 for community emissions and Milestone 5 — the PCP’s foremost level of achievement — for corporate emissions through the Partners for Climate Protection (PCP) program. Nelson is in fact one of only 15 municipalities within Canada to attain Milestone 5 status. Within this elite group of municipalities, Nelson and Whistler are the only smaller communities, making the achievement that much more impressive as they share the honour with major centres like Vancouver, Calgary, and Ottawa. The PCP program is a network of Canadian municipal governments that

have committed to reducing GHGs and acting on climate change. Member municipalities progress through a series of five milestones that help them to build their capacity to reduce GHGs: 1. Create a GHG emissions inventory and forecast. 2. Set an emissions reductions target. 3. Develop a local action plan. 4. Implement the local action plan or a set of activities. 5. Monitor progress and report results. The City of Nelson is taking a comprehensive approach to reducing our energy usage at the corporate level, which results in a reduction of our greenhouse gas emissions. The energy conservation initiatives range from smaller projects such as the insulation of doors to much larger projects like the replacement of the boilers at City Hall and the Civic Centre. In 2012, both buildings saw

an average 30% decrease in natural gas usage as a direct result of the boiler retrofits, the equivalent of taking 25 cars off the road. Some of the projects in the works for 2013 include a new biogas boiler at the Wastewater Treatment Plant to fully utilize waste methane and continued driver training for staff to improve fuel efficiency within the City of Nelson’s vehicle fleet. The City’s Low Carbon Path to 2040: Community

Energy and Emissions Action Plan, approved by Council on October 11, 2011, provides a framework for action on reducing community energy and emissions. In 2012, the City developed and launched the award-winning EcoSave Energy Retrofits Program, a key strategy from the community plan that targets residential homes and businesses for energy reductions. submitted by the City of Nelson

Local opera KHAOS wins international recognition KHAOS, a new Canadian opera composed by Nelson resident Don Macdonald, to a libretto written by BC playwright, Nicola Harwood and premiered by Nelson Community Opera in March 2012, has received two international opera awards this month. On February 8th, the Amy Ferguson Institute, the commissioners of KHAOS, learned that their nomination of KHAOS for inclusion in OPERA America’s showcase of new works at its Opera Conference 2013 – an international gathering of hundreds of opera directors

and professionals - had been accepted. Opera Conference 2013 will take place this year in Vancouver from May 7 to May 11. Selections from KHAOS will be performed as part of the conference’s New Works Sampler at Vancouver’s Playhouse Theatre on the evening of May 10, 2013. On February 12th, composer, Don Macdonald learned that the Boston Metro Opera’s 2013 international composer’s competition had selected KHAOS for a special “Director’s Choice Award.” According to the Boston Metro

Opera website, works such as KHAOS that win a Director’s Choice Award, will be performed as part of Boston Metro Opera’s regular 2013/2014 or 2014/2015 opera season. “I am especially grateful and humbled by these awards,” said KHAOS composer, Don Macdonald. “Nicola and I are thrilled as it now seems our hope for wider exposure and an extended life for KHAOS is no longer just a dream.” submitted by the Amy Ferguson Institute

Renovation dreams: where do we start? Home Front

by Bill Lynch, Paul Muntak & Steve Cannon

These are important questions that should be asked and answered before any of us expend the energy, time and money creating a more comfortable nest. In the past, most folks talked to friends who had renovated, listened to horror stories from relatives who’d stumbled through the building of an addition, or thumbed through the telephone direc-

We’ve been winter daydreaming about a bigger kitchen, a bedroom in our unfinished basement and a new sunroom on the south side of our home and we have a flood of questions about costs, technical issues and other reno topics. Where do we start? tory hoping to find help by luck of the draw. More and more we see homeowners relying on experts in the field of home construction to assess their daydream and organize an efficient plan of action. This approach has become so popular that it is now referred to as a pre-renovation inspection. This is the point where you carefully describe and

discuss you ideas, your needs and your wish list with a qualified building consultant. What follows is a discussion with your building expert on the structural, architectural, plumbing, heating, building code and municipal building bylaw implications of your dream. Of course not all these categories are implicated in every project, but these are some of the questions that a

good consultant will use to help you. Fees for this service are usually charged as a flat hourly rate so you pay only for the time your building expert spends with you. Here, of course, is where you find the bottom line. The money spent on a pre-renovation inspection can save you thousands of dollars in time, labour, and materials when making your daydream a reality.

Police News: theft, a fight, drug dealer pocket dials 9-11

On Wednesday, Feb. 13, staff from the Dancing Bear Inn contacted the Nelson Police Department to report an unusual occurrence. Overnight one of their registered guests made off with coffee mugs, knives, pots and pans, bedding, food and numerous other items. The Dancing Bear estimated that approximately $1300 worth of goods went missing. The Nelson Police Department investigated the matter and identified a suspect. Officers have been in contact with a local woman and are hoping that she can help to make amends to the Dancing Bear Inn. During the early morning on Wednesday, Feb. 13, a police officer of the Nelson Police Department was patrolling on Highway 3 at the west edge of Nelson. The officer stopped to talk to a male hitch hiker. The male correctly identified himself to the officer and explained

that he was travelling from Calgary to Vancouver where he had a date to appear in criminal court. When the officer checked his story with the Canadian Police Information Centre the officer discovered that the male was the subject of a valid arrest warrant. The male was arrested without incident and lodge in cells. Instead of hitch hiking to Vancouver the male was transported to Vancouver criminal court courtesy of the Province of British Columbia. Just past midnight on Wednesday, Feb. 13 a 911 call came into the Nelson Police Department. The 911 operator answered the call in the usual manner. “911 Emergency.” “Do you need police, fire or ambulance?” The operator could hear voices, but no one would speak. After monitoring the call for a short period of time, the operator determined that somebody had probably “pocket dialed” their cell phone. Police further

monitored the call to determine if there was an emergency and tried to make voice contact with the caller. From further listening to the conversation police determined that the caller did not require emergency services. What police did learn was that the call was coming from a moving vehicle and that a number of people were inside the vehicle. They also heard a short drug related conversation between the people in the vehicle. They were discussing who some of their best customers were and what they charged their regular customers versus unknown customers. They were discussing their retail drug business. Police were able to deduce that the vehicle had stopped at the 7-11 convenience store in Nelson. Police met the four occupants of the vehicle and revealed to them what they had heard. The occupants, two of which are well known to police, were embarrassed.

On Monday, Feb 11 at dinner time the Nelson Police Department received a number of 911 calls reporting a group of people fighting in the 400 block of Baker Street. Officers of the Nelson Police Department attended to find that a fight had taken place between number of regular occupants of the 400 block of Baker Street amenity area and a local man from the North Shore. There were no serious injuries, but one male did receive a black eye. The veteran investigators attempted to interview all of the participants, but were unable to extract much information. Everybody was still far too animated. The officers received accounts of the event that varied greatly. The officers gather rudimentary information and separated the participants. The matter is still under investigation. submitted by the Nelson Police Department

Castlegar teen located after being missing for four days On Wednesday, Feb. 20 the Castlegar RCMP and local Search and Rescue (SAR) team members located a 19 year old male who had been reported missing on Saturday, Feb. 16. He was located safe and sound in a mountain cabin north of Hwy 3 past

the Nancy Green Junction, roughly between Castlegar and Christina Lake. Search and Rescue technicians had been searching since Monday morning near the Trans Canada Rail Trail after several tips were received about tracks being seen in the snow.

The RCMP Air Services helicopter was able to follow the one way tracks ahead of ground searchers which eventually led to them to an isolated cabin where he was found, alive and well. It appears that the young man decided to go for a walk

on the trail and veered off and became lost. He appeared to be in good spirits but was obviously exhausted, cold, hungry, and very stiff from walking through very deep snow and overcoming the elements. submitted by the RCMP

On Sunday, Feb. 17 at approx. 1:55 p.m., members of the West Kootenay Traffic Services and lntegrated Road Safety Unit were conducting a Road Safety Check in Salmo,

British Columiba. During the check, police had the occasion to stop and check a vehicle with 4 occupants. Following an investigation for Prohibited driving, police located 8.6 Ibs of

dried marihuana inside a locked hockey bag. Money, knives and the vehicle have also been seized as offence related properties. Police have charged and released 4 adults for possession for the

purpose of trafficking and one male with Possession of Property obtained by crime. The four adults from Surrey, British Columbia, are submitted by the RCMP

Chasing Ice film brought back for encore screening Wednesday Feb. 27, 7:30 p.m. at the Capitol Theatre After screening Chasing Ice to a sold out audience for the Eco-Society in January, FLiKS is bringing it back for another screening at the Capitol Theatre. This Oscar nominated, Sundance Award winning documentary is indisputable proof that climate change exists and is affecting our planet! Acclaimed photographer James Balog was once a skeptic about climate change. So he deployed revolutionary time-lapse cameras to capture a multi-year record of the world’s changing glaciers and discovers undeniable evidence of our changing planet. His hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into seconds and capture ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at a breathtaking rate. Traveling with a team of young

adventurers across the brutal Arctic, Balog risks his career and his wellbeing in pursuit of the biggest story facing humanity. As the debate polarizes America, and the intensity of natural disasters ramps up globally, Chasing Ice depicts a heroic photojournalist on a mission to deliver fragile hope to our carbon-powered planet. Critics and festival programmers alike say if ever there was a film that needs to be seen on the big screen – or needs to be seen by our children, this film is it. This film must be seen by anyone who cares what happens to the planet. Tickets $10 are at Otter Books or online www.FLiKS.ca. Student/youth tickets at the door for $5.

What is MSG? dr. science Christine Humphries

Many people associate MSG with Chinese food and processed foods such as chips, canned soups and cheese spreads. But what is MSG and why is it added to so many foods? MSG is a food additive that is used to enhance the flavour of foods. MSG stands for monosodium glutamate and is a salt of the amino

acid glutamate. Purified MSG, which looks like a fine white crystal substance, has no flavour on its own. In water, or saliva, MSG dissolves into free sodium and glutamate. Although many consumers have complained about adverse reactions to MSG in prepared food, glutamate is not “unnatural”. Free glutamate occurs naturally in many proteinrich foods such as tomatoes, cheese (especially in parmesan), mushrooms and seaweed. In fact, for cen-

turies Japanese cooks used a seaweed broth to make foods taste better. It was not until 1908 that Professor Kikunaie Ikeda discovered that L-glutamate is the flavour enhancing property in seaweed. Commercially available MSG is no longer obtained from seaweed but is made from the fermentation of foods like corn, molasses and wheat. Up until about ten years ago, it was thought that there were only four basic tastes: sweet, salt,

bitter and sour. Scientists found recently that the taste of glutamate is recognized by distinct receptors in specialized cells located in the taste buds on the tongue. This glutamate taste is now recognized to be the fifth taste: it is called umami (pronounced oo-mom’-ee). Umami is a Japanese word, loosely translated to “deliciousness” and “meaty”. I wonder how long it will take potato chip manufacturers to come up with a salt and umami-flavoured chip???

My Opinion

The Pros and Cons of Energy Drinks

We all need a boost now and then but at what cost? Energy drinks are popular among many and for good reason. They provide a boost when we get down after a long day. But what is inside energy drinks? Well many things, caffeine is one of the primary ingredients in any drink and although it is fine in moderation it can have severe adverse health effects if taken in large doses. I had an experience when I was younger when I found it hard to sleep so I often consumed

multiple energy drinks in a short period of time. Although it got me through a rough patch I also felt weakened and even noticed my heart rate was much more elevated then normal. Like all good thing; energy drinks need to be taken in moderation. If you still need convincing see a doctor, I don’t intend to be a preacher when it comes to health as thats something I know I need to work on myself. Just use common practices and avoid energy drinks if you can, your body will thank you for it.

EcoSociety Challenges Jumbo in Court The West Kootenay EcoSociety will file a petition in BC Court today to challenge the Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort. The application for judicial review argues that the appointment of municipal councilors without any electors violates the constitution and various provincial statutes. “Our action today is in defense of democracy,” said EcoSociety Executive Director David Reid. “Every Canadian should shudder at the idea of a provincial minister appointing a mayor and council for a municipality with no residents. Its an affront to our constitution and our democracy.” The West Kootenay EcoSociety has been a longstanding member of the West Kootenay Coalition for Jumbo Wild! and has been an active opponent of the proposed ski resort since 1994. EcoSociety is filing the application with the support and cooperation of the coalition, and with partial funding from West Coast Environmental Law.

Commentary by The West Kootenay EcoSociety

The BC Government made significant changes to the Local Government Act through Bill 41 on the last day of the spring session in 2012. The new law removed the previous reqiurement that resort municipalities have residents and that the residents support the creation of the municipality. The Union of BC Municipalities and the Regional District of Central Kootenay passed resolutions opposing the changes. Although the province has previously designated municipalities with no residents, there has never been a legal challenge. The court filing argues that although the constitution grants sweeping powers to the province to establish municipalities, there is a common law understanding that a municipality is a democratic institution created for a public purpose. Therefore, the creation of a municipality with no residents for the purpose of furthering a private development is inherently unconstitutional. In

addition, other parts of the Local Government Act and the Community Charter refer to municipalities as having residents. A judge will review the case and decide whether there are grounds for the case to proceed. The BC Attorney General and the Minister of Culture, Community Development, and Sport have been named as parties in the case. Based on previous judicial reviews, the process could take as long as 6 months to resolve. The case represents a risk for tiny West Kootenay EcoSociety, which has no full-time staff. If the province wins the case, the society will be liable to pay the province’s legal fees. “We deliberated long and hard over whether to file this application,” said Reid. “In the end, we couldn’t sit by and see this perversion of democracy move forward in an area that we have fought to protect for 20 years. We’re confident that the court will agree with us, and that the

Jumbo Wild! community will support our efforts.” The Ktunaxa Nation has submitted an application for a judicial review concerning their right to consultation as a holder of Aboriginal title. The Jumbo Glacier Resort plan calls for 6300 beds including hotels and private residences. At build-out, the plan calls for more than 20 ski lifts, with over 2500 visitors per day in the winter. The proposed land tenure includes approximately 6500 hectares. The proposed resort would create an average of 943 car trips per day along the Jumbo Glacier Road, which bisects the Purcell Mountains and would create a significant barrier for grizzly bears and other wildlife. Dr. Michael Proctor has found that this core anchor sub-population is likely essential to maintaining the long-term self-sustainability of the larger regional grizzly population as well as maintaining the international distribution extending directly south into the US.
