Shows cancelled at the Royal building owner plans to carry on at present location by Nelson Becker

Notice posted in the window at the Royal advises ticket holders for cancelled shows who to contact
A notice has been posted on the door of the Royal notifying people that performances have been cancelled. According to Luke Menkes, the owner and landlord of the building, a continuing dispute came to a head yesterday when he discovered the liquor license and all the alcohol had been removed from the Royal on Baker. All concert promotional material had been removed from the windows. Mankes said all of the previous tenants personal effects had also been removed. Prior, Menkes said he had informed the leasors of the Royal that they had not fulfilled their lease agreement and that if they would not do so, he would be forced to change the locks on the premises. Menkes said that the dispute was hurting the future of the Royal, as his intent is to continue the century old drinking and performance establishment. Menkes said he changed the locks only after sensing the leasors had abandoned the premises. The Express News Update contacted Howie Ross, leasor of the Royal but he was unavailable for comment. A poster in the window of the Royal advises ticket holders of cancelled shows to contact the proprieter of Urban Legends at 533 Baker Street in Nelson.

Homegrown constable sworn in Position filled after two-year vacancy
The Nelson Police Department announced that on Tuesday, Apr.16 the Honorable Judge Lisa Mronzinski of the Provincial Court of British Columbia administered the Oath of Office and Allegiance to the city’s newest police officer, Constable Sebastian Fazzino. The new recruit is a native of the City of Nelson, and has been a familiar face around the Nelson Courthouse, where he served most recently as a Deputy Sheriff within the British Columbia Sheriff Service. Sebastian Fazzino will become the eightyfirst constable to serve in Nelson’s one hundred and sixteen year old police service. He and his wife Erin
have two children, Emily and Tyler who they are proud to have the opportunity to raise in one of the finest and safest communities in the province. Mr. Fazzino commenced his duties on Thursday, Apr. 18 and will embark on nine months of training at the Justice Institute of British Columbia on April 22. He is a graduate of LV Rogers secondary in Nelson and has also attended Douglas College in New Westminster, where he focused on business and marketing courses. While working in various sales and purchasing jobs in Nelson, Fazzino decided to become a member of the Nelson Police Department’s Reserve program, at which time he decided to pursue a
in celebration of Earth Day on Monday, April 22, the downtown Castlegar office of RHC Insurance, with the help of Gaia Janitorial Services, is sending their compostables like lunch scraps, coffee grounds and used paper towels over to Selkirk College. In 2011, Selkirk College began operating a large composting vessel as part of a pilot composting program on their Castlegar campus. Sean Melvin, graduate of the Integrated Environmental Planning and Technology (IEPT)
and owner of Gaia Janitorial Services Inc., has been weighing the garbage his company collects from the RHC Insurance downtown Castlegar office location. The first week of composting results have been tabulated and show that the staff at the RHC Insurance downtown Castlegar office location have managed to divert 31% of their garbage by weight from the local landfill site in Ootischenia. The composting project will continue for one more week and the results will be celebrated on Earth Day at

Fire Fighters from Nelson give generously to Burn Fund
Fire Fighters from Nelson have contributed a total of $10,000 out of their own pockets towards the new $13.1 million Burn Fund Centre to be built by the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund at 3891 Main Street in Vancouver. They’ve been joined by locals from Burnaby, Cranbrook, Delta, Kamloops, Kelowna, North Vancouver District, Richmond, Surrey, Fort St. John, West Kelowna, Penticton and Fernie for total contributions of $850,000. “We’ve seen firsthand that helping with accommodation for burn and trauma

How do glow-in-the-dark toys work?
dr. science Christine Humphries
The glow-in-the-dark substance in a toy is a phosphor, a type of compound that exhibits a sustained glow, called phosphorescence, after having been energized by light. The word phosphor comes from Greek and means “light bearer”. Phosphorescence is a process that involves the slow and continuous release of stored energy from a compound in the
form of light. When energy from light is absorbed by a chemical compound, such as phosphors, the energy has been trapped by electrons that have entered a higher energy state around a molecule. Normally, when the electrons jump from the higher energy state back to a lower energy state, the transition is very rapid (on the order of nanoseconds) and releases light all at once. However, in phosphorescence, the release is very slow because the probability of re-emitting light is very low. This is
because the energy is trapped in an unusual higher energy state, called a triplet state, and the transition back to a lower energy state is unfavoured by the rules of quantum mechanics. The triplet lifetime of phosphors can range from seconds up to hours because there is a low probability of the occurrence of transitions that give off light. In essence, the very slow degradation from a high energy state allows phosphors to store light energy and to re-emit the light over long time periods – even when it
Dr. Science is in real life, Dr. Christine Humphries, a molecular biologist
is dark! In toys, there are two types of phosphors that are generally used. The first is zinc sulfide, a chemical compound with the formula ZnS. ZnS is most often found in combination with a copper activator in toys because the activator prolongs the afterglow of the phosphor. A newer phosphor, called Strontium aluminate and its activator Europium, are now the phosphor of choice for toy manufacturers because it is ten times brighter than regular phosphors and lasts ten times longer.

Sound reduction in basement suite
We will be renovating the basement into a suite but we’re concerned about the possibility of noise transferring through the floor. How can we deaden or prevent this noise transfer? Home Front
by Bill Lynch, Paul Muntak & Steve Cannon
Unfortunately there is no way to completely stop noise from spilling into an adjacent suite. Usually the base notes of a stereo system are the most difficult to deal with. The success of any assembly at reducing sound transfer is often directly proportionate to your budget, (the more you spend, the more effective the results). Here are some typical sound reducing floor assemblies that you can use
in singly or in combination if your budget can afford it. The simplest and most common strategy is to fill the floor joist cavity with fiberglass batt insulation. Before installing the ceiling drywall in the suite you can also install resilient sound channels perpendicular to the floor/ceiling joists. The ceiling drywall is then attached or hung from these channels. This creates an air gap and reduces the contact surfaces between the drywall and the floor / ceiling joists,
thus reducing sound transmission. If you increase the drywall thickness to 5/8 inch from 1/2 inch your assembly will benefit from the additional mass. Although less common, some assemblies substitute “donna conna” soundboard for the resilient channels and attach the drywall through the board to the floor/ceiling joists with longer screws. Since one of the best sound deadeners is mass you can also consider laying heavy underlay and
carpet on the upper side of the assembly. Although more costly and difficult to install, the best single component in sound control is a 1 1/2 inch skim coat of concrete on the upper side of the floor/ceiling assembly.You can research the amount of sound transmission for various assemblies under the heading “sound transmission class” ratings. An “STR” of 50 is considered the standard minimum in residential construction today.

Mongolian Bling “Art is not a tool to make money, art is for healing society. Artists are the doctors.” Rory on the town by Rory Case
On Wednesday night, Nelson had its first ‘Mini-Mongolian’ film fest. FLiKs hosted two feature films from central Asia back-to-back. I was fortunate enough to attend the first one titled “Mongolian Bling.” A documentary directed by Benj Binks. The premise of the film was about Mongolian hip-hop and what political battles really lay beneath each verse. In Mongolia, the hip hop stars are observant, intelligent individuals who want to salvage their failing democracy. Hip-hop is revitalizing their traditional culture, as the youth step up and voice their
concerns with lyricism. Their songs are real, meaningful and very powerful. These songs are way for them to express themselves and reach out to their peers when their culture is dying. Most of them struggle for necessities, but manage put forth a positive message to their beats. The film was not only rich in content but also visually captivating. The audience got to see the urban side of Ulaanbaatar (Capitol of Mongolia) through the eyes of aspiring rap stars. It was a new perspective to social issues these people have to face on a daily basis. Overall the film evoked laughter and true emotion, while educating. I would most definitely recommend watch-

plishments and pleasures is a life worth living. The most important aspect of life is happiness, do what makes you happy and purpose will finds itself. To complete something is always a mixed blessing, you remember the successes but also miss the good times that were had. Don’t get caught up in living in the past and live every day in the moment. I have obviously run out of cliche inspirational quotes so I’ll end on something different. Do stuff that makes you happy, simple as that.

Lake Facts:
Happy Earth Day!
Commentary by David Reid of the West Kootenay EcoSociety
Sometimes, it seems like protecting our planet requires us to make too many sacrifices. Don’t drive your car. Don’t throw that away. Don’t leave the lights on. Don’t turn up the thermostat. Once a year, however, we set aside a day to celebrate our planet. Especially here, where nature and wildness are part of our daily lives, Earth Day is an opportunity to reflect on all the things our environment gives us: clean air and water, heat for our homes, food for our table, and beauty for the soul.
Earth Day is a reminder that protecting our planet isn’t about sacrifice-it’s about honouring the things that we have in common. We share this lonely planet, and when we choose to live more simply, we make things better for our neighbours and ourselves. Walking instead of driving means exercise for you and less traffic and pollution for your neighbour. So whether you join a community activity or take a quiet walk, I hope you will celebrate on Earth Day. Let it remind you that the work to protect our world is also a project to improve our lives.

Did you know?..
Did you know the biggest private conservation land deal in Canadian history was made in the Kootenays? The Nature Conservancy of Canada purchased the Darkwoods Property, a 55,000 hectare piece of land containing key habitat for one of the world’s last herds of mountain caribou. Darkwoods boarders the south west side of Kootenay Lake and protects parts of 17 separate watersheds.

The one inevitability of life is that everything comes to an end, but what to do about it? Relationships end, jobs end, friends and family pass away before you reach death’s door yourself. It can be vexing, but moping around won’t solve anything. What is needed is rather simple; live life to the fullest. Living life to the fullest isn’t something that anyone can tell you how to do, it’s what you define. It can be mundane or it can be a spectacle, but a life full of accom-

Would you accept a wage that is higher than fair?
What would you do if you were looking for work and the job that you wanted paid a standard salary in the industry of $20 per hour. In your interview, you realize that you would like to work
for this particular company. It’s a new company and they don’t know exactly what they are doing. You get the job, but instead of paying $20 per hour they inform you, that the salary
is $75 per hour. The reason they have offered you this rate, is because they don’t know what they are doing. Do you say thank you and accept the outlandish salary, or do you inform
them that you cannot accept $75 per hour because the standard wage is $20 per hour. would it make a difference in your reaction if the person offering you the job was a friend or relative?

Last week’s survey responses: Do you support the elimination of the nickel?
No 73.3%
Yes 26.7%
Eliminate all the coins, save pockets everywhere! Bring back the one dollar bill! Next it will be the dime, then the quarter, and then money. I believe eventually it will be just credit and debit cards - NO CASH. I believe when there was only cash, people were more aware of what they bought and what they could afford. Less debt. Heck yes. I’m still amazed that we still have cash these days. Everything I pay or buy or purchase is all electronic. Debit, Mastercard, Gift Cards.....
The elimination of the penny has given our book keeper nightmares. She needs to open a pennies account in order to balance our petty cash account. i support the elimination of money For those of us who are on pension and limited income you are nickle and diming us to death! Rounding off as you do the pennies makes a difference for those of us who live on a budget when things are five cents more expensive than before!!! Enough already! Chill, we just got rid of the penny...
