Ground breaking news for Nelson skate park By Rory Case
It was a beautiful morning on Wednesday, July 10 and a monumental day to say the least. Mayor John Dooley, City Council Members, Police, and other dignitaries from the community gathered together in the nowempty grounds of the Art Gibbon’s Memorial Park to break the surface for our community’s new skate park. Finally, construction has begun and soon there will be a state-of-the-art skate park facility that will enrich the lives of so many kids. Designed to replicate the streets, the park will be different from others in neighbouring towns. The layout will lend itself to the “raw” experience of skating. Young skateboarder, Josh Sullivan, attended the groundbreaking ceremony and couldn’t be more excited. “ It’s great to finally know we’re breaking ground. I’ve been a part of this project on and off for six years. I’ve seen the struggles. We’ve gone through three different sites, and it’s so good to know we’re finally going to

have a skate park.” The contractors said it will be a mere 15 weeks until the park is ready for use, just in time before the boards hit the snowy slopes. Many thanks were spoken about the community and its efforts to raise the money for this endeavor. The Kootenay Lake Outdoor Skate Park Society needed $600,000 to build the park. Our supportive community stepped up with donations from organizations like the Rotary
Daybreak Club of Nelson, Lions Club of Nelson, Martin Hotel Group, Shambhala Music Festival and significant grants from Columbia Basin Trust Community Initiatives Fund and $400,000 from the Province of BC, which made a big difference. At the official ceremony on Wednesday morning, the Rotary Daybreak Club of Nelson announced a promise of $5000 more towards the project and a challenge to other organizations to do the same.
..
There is still 30,000 needed to finish the project. Sandra England, President of Rotary Daybreak had the final words. “With three more donations of $5000 or the equivalent we can build a first-rate facility the whole community will be proud of.” You can purchase a square foot of the park for $50 or become a medalist with a donation over $500 and receive a tax-deductible receipt.

Safety improvements at Ward Street Place complete
Nelson CARES Society has completed fire safety improvements at Ward Street Place, including the installation of a complete sprinkler systemv, a new fire alarm system and the fireproofing of interior doors. This is the first phase of planned major upgrade to the building. The 100 year old building at the corner of Ward and Victoria Streets is home to 6 commercial units, 37 affordable rental units and Stepping Stones Emergency Shelter. Local contractor Trainor Mechanical had to completely rebuild the water system in the build-
ing before installing the sprinklers in every room; both residential and commercial. In addition to the new sprinkler system, a new fire alarm system has been installed, as well as much needed electrical upgrades in the suites. Interior doors were also treated to improve fire safety. Since 2002, Nelson CARES Society has owned Ward Street Place and is committed to providing affordable housing to some of our community’s most vulnerable population. Nelson has lost 61 low income rental units in the downtown area since 2006
and the demand has continues to grow. (Kerr Block – 38 units ; Royal Hotel - 9 SRO units; Queen’s Hotel - 14 SRO units). The next phase of the campaign is to raise funds to refurbish the Victoria Street wing of the building, move Stepping Stones Emergency Shelter to a new location, replace the windows and paint the remaining sections of the building. This will allow NCARES to put in 9 new affordable housing units at Ward Street Place. Although the campaign has not yet been officially launched, a number of community members have
already made a financial commitment to the work. “A recent generous donation from Mrs. Isabel Ramsey, an original owner of the building, made us believe it was possible to get the kind of support we need.” Jenny Robison, Executive Director, NCARES. Completion of the fire safety improvements is part of a larger goal to rejuvenate this historic building in the heart of downtown Nelson BC. Nelson CARES Society is committed to keeping Ward Street Place safe and affordable for decades to come. submitted by NCARES
Seven dedicated folks from the Kootenays are now back from their trek to the Fort McMurray for the 4th annual Tar Sands Healing Walk held July 5 and 6. Tom Nixon, an activist with Kootenays for a Pipeline-Free BC, went for his second time this year. But he says this time he trained in advance to cope with the 14 kilometer walk through the heart of the tar sands mining area. “I was pleased not to be there alone this year. Great to have people representing our area too. The tar sands are a huge problem we must deal with together,” Tom says. The centrepiece event is the 14 kilometer prayer walk, which focused on healing the environment and people suffering from tar sands expansion. Mike Hudema of
Greenpeace Canada said that it’s unknown if the heavy rainfall a few weeks earlier caused the 170 Kilometers of tar sands tailings ponds to breach into the Athabasca River. “The only way we could find out is by flying over the tar sands,” he said. “The profoundly magical; uplifting Indigenous ceremonies, drumming and singing sharply contrasted with the immense tar sands pillage and irreversible destruction of what was once a vibrant life giving boreal forest” says Nadine Podmoroff, member of the Nelson Chapter Council of Canadians.

Police news: asleep at the wheel, hot pets, liquor control
Nelson Police Department responded to a total of 110 calls for service from July 1st to July 4th 2013. A significant number of calls were generated on Canada Day during well attended celebrations which generated 38 calls for service alone. Although a significant number of those calls were related to liquor related offences, the historically busy Canada Day event was overall a positive one for citizens and police alike. Nelson Police would like to once again remind the public of potential fines enforceable under the Liquor Control Licensing Act as we are well into the summer months, in hopes
that public co-operation will avoid unnecessary penalties. Please enjoy summer responsibly. On Saturday July 6 at 6:20 AM a female driver fell asleep at the wheel on Hwy 3A/6 entering Nelson. Her car left the roadway and dropped approx. 15 meters onto a walking path then flipped onto its roof. Fortunately the driver was wearing her seatbelt and received only minor injuries. She managed to climb free and seek out help. On Saturday July 6 at 3:15 PM the Nelson Police were called to Lakeside Park when an intoxicated male began talking and swearing loudly to himself. The members recognized a
local 51 year old male and attempted to escort him out of the park. He became verbally abusive to the members who were showing great patience with him and trying to get him somewhere safe. When he started swearing in front of the children’s play area and would not stop he was arrested for causing a disturbance and taken to NPD cells to sober up. Once sober he was released with a charge of causing a disturbance with condition to not consume liquor and to stay out of Lakeside Park. He will appear in court in Nelson August 13 to answer to this charge. Since the temperature
has gone up so have the number of calls for the Nelson Police to check on animals left in vehicles. During warm weather pet owner must take precautions against the danger of heat exhaustion and heatstroke for their pets. The temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with the windows partly open, can rapidly reach a level that will seriously harm or even kill your pet. Some symptoms an animal might be in distress are: Exaggerated panting (or the sudden stopping of panting), anxious or staring expression, and tongue and lips red. If it’s hot out, leave your pets at home. submitted by the Nelson Police Department
On Wednesday July 10, 2013, at around 2:00 RCMP members with Kootenay Boundary Regional Detachment Crime Reduction Unit and members from the Trail and Greater District RCMP attended to a home in the Glenmerry subdivision of Trail, to arrest 28 yr old Andrew Lee Evans. Evans was wanted on several unendorsed
arrest warrants, with several recent attempts to locate and arrest him having led officers to the residence that day. Evans was seen fleeing upstairs, from where he jumped out a second floor window while the officers were still on the main floor. The perimeter officers were unable to intercept Evans as he ran through the property and into the
nearby Columbia River. The attending officers immediately dispatched the Trail Fire Dept Rescue boat when he was seen jumping into the river. Officers kept visual contact with Evans as he floated downstream until he reached a set of rapids known as Rock Island, where he disappeared from sight for a short period of time. Officers then
observed Evans resurface at which time he appeared to be in distress, only to swept under again and not seen afterwards. The Trail and Greater District RCMP are asking anyone in the area to contact police should they locate anything or if they have information that can assist in locating Mr Evans. submitted by the Trail and Greater District

into account is to ensure the building is as energy efficient as possible in the first place. You want to ensure you have adequate insulation levels, including all exterior walls of a basement. Check to see if all windows and doors are as airtight and draft free as possible. When installing a new furnace, it is also important that it is adequately sized for the
heat loads of the house. Having a system oversized or undersized will reduce the overall efficiency of the furnace. Another more efficient option for hot water heaters is installing a tankless water heater. These are much more efficient because they only heat the water that is used instead of having a tank of preheated water on standby.

How big are hummingbird babies? dr. science Christine Humphries
Hummingbirds are the smallest of NorthAmerica’s birds. In fact, they are often mistaken for moths! It is a real thrill for bird-watchers to see hummingbirds perform amazing feats such as hover while feeding, fly backward and create a humming sound with their wings because their wing beat is so rapid. There are two main
species of hummingbirds in the Kootenays: the Rufous Hummingbird and the Calliope Hummingbird. The Black-Chinned Hummingbird is very rare in the area. A male Rufous Hummingbird has a shiny green patch on top of the head and a scarlet throat patch that sometimes appears black. The female has a bronze-green back with reddish brown areas on its sides and tail and can have a small red and green spot on the throat. The Rufous weighs around 3.4g.
The male Calliope Hummingbird is shiny green on its back with a purple streaked throat. The female is bronze-green on its back and has reddish streaks on the throat and brown sides. The Calliope is the smallest bird in Canada and weighs around 2.5g. Hummingbirds have an average life span of three or four years. The Rufous builds small nests, about the size of half a walnut, in trees, shrubs or vines one to five meters above ground.
Dr. Science is in real life, Dr. Christine Humphries, a molecular biologist
Hummingbirds typically lay two white eggs, which are ½” in size. Incubation lasts between 13 and 22 days. Newly hatched baby hummingbirds are about the size of a plump raisin and have no feathers, tiny bills, are blind and cannot regulate their own body temperature. At age 10 to 15 days, the nestlings begin developing “pin” feathers and can maintain their own body temperature. They are usually ready to leave the nest around age 21 days.

The initiative draft Bill entitled, “Sensible Policing Act” proposes to amend the Police Act to no longer use provincial police resources on the enforcement of current laws in relation to simple possession and use of cannabis by adults. The draft law would prohibit the use of provincial police resources for this purpose, would require police to report in detail to the Minister of Justice any actual use of resources for this purpose and why it was necessary, and require the Minister to publish that report. The Bill also proposes that the province would call upon the Federal Government to repeal the federal prohibition on cannabis, or give British Columbia an exemption, such that British Columbia is able to tax and regulate cannabis similar to the regulation of alcohol and tobacco. As well it proposes that British Columbia shall establish a Provincial Commission to study the means and requirements necessary for the province to establish a legal and regulated model for the production and use of cannabis by adults. Last, the Bill would make nonlawful possession and use of cannabis by minors an offence similar to possession and use of alcohol.

Art walking and drumsound
celebrating atrtists and dancing the night away Rory on the town by Rory Case
There were many fun events going on last weekend in Nelson and I was able to attend a few of them. First up on my agenda was the 25th ArtWalk opening. Sixteen different locations in Nelson had their doors open and fresh art on display. The community was invited to “artwalk” and check out our local talents. There was live music, food, and familiar faces along the way. I quite enjoyed myself, and am looking forward to the next ArtWalk event on Friday, August 2, when the art gets switched. After some art indulging,
I put on my dancing shoes and headed downstairs to the Spiritbar. Drumsound and Bassline Smith occupied the stage, and did it well, thumping the place with DnB tunes. Opening for the British electronic group was former-Nelsonite, DJ Dubconscience who will be playing another set at Shambhala this year. The show nearly sold out and I was pleased to see everyone smiling and bouncing about to the upbeat music. Their new single “one in a million” is filling up dance floors internationally and was featured on BBC Radio 1 back in March. These boys are on fire and will continue to spread the heat as they embark on a world-wide tour.

Skate park on it’s way, what’s next?
By Nelson Becker
Congratulations to the many volunteers over along period of time who worked toward getting a skate park for the City of Nelson. Congratulations
to the many community organizations who supported this endeavor. Now that physical work has begun on this project, we can begin to think about other recreational projects that would serve community interest that are not now being served. While not fully, the majority of skate park users are young boys. What recreational facilities could we be looking

My Opinion
by Spencer Pollard
Making the Best out of a Tricky Situation When it came time to write this column, I noticed that most of my general tools that I use to compose these articles weren’t available to me. My laptop’s AC adaptor was dead, and I didn’t have anything but a pen and a ragged notepad to write it on. So how did I get this article done on time? Well, I used those shoddy tools and composed a rough draft. After having something barely comprehensible (more so then usual), I caught a bus home. I couldn’t leave earlier to
due prior engagements with friends and family. I then took my computer with about 15 percent battery life and deciphered my own cryptic handwriting as best as I could. I then did a spell check/word count before proofreading it and sending it away. Well, I can’t see the future so hopefully it worked out. So what can you take from all of this? It’s always possible to do whatever it takes to get the job done. It may be a messier, less efficient way but if you have the intent you can accomplish anything.
Spencer Pollard is an young man living in Nelson BC with an interest in digital arts and writing. His ideas are of benefit to all of Nelson, and to stroke his abnormally large ego
toward in the long-term future that would begin to serve young girls, seniors, children, etc? Some future developments that we could be looking toward are a paved part of our waterfront walkway, which would allow for roller-skating, wheel chairs, and baby strollers. We could look at building grandstands at our beautiful soccer fields to encourage people to come
down and watch. Perhaps what we need to do first is establish a set of priorities. What interest group gets what first? As a beginning I would suggest that we look toward serving the larger community instead of the special interest group. Because of changing times and interests, we will never have all the facilities we want, but it’s never too late to plan for the future.

TheSurvey

Page 16
Does Nelson have enough outdoor recreational facilities? In 15 weeks the Nelson skate park will be ready for use. Even though they still need funding it is not too early to think about future recreational possibilities. See editorial page 14.
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/outdoor_facilities Last week’s survey responses:
Does Nelson suffer from noise pollution? Definitely not! There are just a few very rude people who ride/drive around town without mufflers. There are far more rude people out on the water with loud obnoxious boats, but still they are in the minority! Some summers are louder than others. This year the energy is high and so is the volume. In two short months it will again be a tranquil city. I was at Lakeside Park the other day enjoying the peace and quiet when someone felt the need to blast his stereo while unloading his boat. In the grand scheme of things, it was only a few minutes, but it felt like an eternity at the time. Too much noise and too many airplanes and helicopters and motorcycles. The worst of all is the airplanes that circle overhead every six minutes I live on Stanley Street. The number of loud engines
of all kinds is stressful! Sometimes the noise is so loud I can not hear my yoga instructors. Then I get told that New Delhi where yoga came from is even louder! True but also true that I choose to not live in New Delhi or Cairo. We have rude loud visitors, I know I know I must not touch the sacred cow of tourists and their dollars!!! Woof Woof Woof!!! Yes it is too loud in the summer!!! Federal intervention is needed to require motorcycles to operate with noise reducing mufflers like cars do, some motorcycles have just a straight pipe that ruins your conversation, peace and your whole day. Signs stating mufflers are required should be up where the winter sign “studded or good winter treads required” are. please tone down and have respect for us all... thank you
YES 72.7%
Sometimes I feel like I’m in a war zone with airplanes and helicopters buzzing my house
NO 27.3%
Neighbor’s TV commercials turned up loud through the night is very inconsiderate.

If you want quiet on a summer morning, you’ve got from sunrise till 8 AM. That’s all you get. It’s not just motorcycles but aircraft and lawn mowers too. The noise does not improve performance so for the most part it’s unnecessary. Many trucks & trailers have to drive over the concrete section of road on 800 block of Gordon Street. Is there anyway the City can
smooth over these concrete edges so this doesn’t happen continually year after year? It’s not pleasant to be startled by the bumping and crashing down all day long. Our family travelled for six months in South and Cetral America we found only two places that did not have constant barking dogs, all night music, and general noise even though we were in out of the way small towns. Nelson is not such a town. After six months we came home and had a perfectly quite nights sleep. (We live on a bus route in Nelson and our neighborhood has
many dogs but despite this our neighborhood seems very quiet.) We were happy to travel and happy to be home. We should enjoy the “noise� as it reflects a very vibrant city. For those that want a noise free environment we lots of area nearby that you can head to! And we are lucky to have that option. I live downtown and the sound of motorcycles with the baffles removed (in the muffler) has caused me to consider selling and moving out of town. There is simply no good reason for

any vehicle to be that loud. I wish the RCMP, NPD or bylaw would do a blitz and ticket those with overly loud vehicles (although I know they are already busy). There are necessary noises that one would expect living downtown (construction, garbage pick-up, snow removal), but why must we endure completely unnecessary vehicle noise? It’s not nearly as bad as in some cities, but I still often get woken up at 3 a.m. on a Friday or Saturday night by cars gunning up the hill by my house.
