Slocan residents gather by the river before the public meeting on Tuesday, July 30.
July 31, 2013 - As the Lemon Creek fuel spill moves from a response phase to a recovery and remediation phase, the Emergency Operations Centre for the Regional District of Central Kootenay will transition to providing assistance and information to the lead agencies and its constituents. “We will continue to have staff involved in the management of this ongoing situation that has adversely impacted so many,” said RDCK
Chief Administrative Officer Brian Carruthers. “At this point in time our role will be to assist the lead agencies – Interior Health and the Ministry of Environment - in providing information to the public through our website, social media and tollfree line.” “Executive Flight Centre is fully engaged in remediation efforts. They will be working closely with the involved agencies as the cleanup and remediation of the impacted
area continues.” The company is responsible for all costs stemming from the accident. It has hired two environmental companies for ongoing remediation and assessment work. They have approximately sixty-five people working on-site under the direction of the Ministry of Environment, who are providing oversight and technical advice such as prescribed plans. submitted by the RDCK

Raising money for Jack Help raise money for lil Jackalope on his medical adventure! Nelson parents are trying to raise money for their new baby Jack. They are a family of five, with a little girl who is four and two sons, oldest is six year and the youngest, Jack, is 3 1/2 months old. Jack was born with Down Syndrome has had some health concerns. He was born with an Atrioventricular septal defect heart (AVSD) and an imperforate anus. He had his first of the 3 surgeries involving his bowel defect when he was born but the doctors want to wait until after he has recovered from
his heart before continuing, as the next two bowel surgeries are quite long. He is scheduled to have his open heart surgery on August 21. For the next year, at least, the family will have to travel to and from Vancouver to meet with doctors at least once every month. Their goal is to secure safe reliable travel to and from Vancouver for the family, as the vehicle they drive now would not make the trip back and fourth. They are also looking for financial assitance to make up for some lost wages and to help pay for medical supplies. submitted by the family

Additional seats for healthcare students Selkirk College’s Health Care Assistant certificate program opened up 10 additional seats for this fall’s program. The extra seats have helped meet interest and demand, as well as employer needs in B.C.’s northern communities. The additional seats were reserved for students from Nakusp, Kaslo and
New Denver, and before the end of July, they had filled up for the coming year. This is a great addition in the area because it allows more students to enroll in the program as well as study closer to home. Students not only have the option of enrolling in the program, they can also complete their

Harvest Rescue for Food Cupboard Harvest Rescue is a program organized by the Nelson Food Cupboard where trained volunteer pickers will come to your yard and harvest fruits, veggies and any other edible goodies! A third of the harvest goes to the donor, a third goes to the volunteer picking the fruit and a third to the Nelson Food Cupboard.
The food cupboard will then distribute it to its members and to other social service organizations. Not enough time to pick your fruit tree this summer? Volunteers will pick it, split it and clean up the compost to avoid interactions with bears. Call and register your tree in advance to avoid
food waste! Please note that Harvest Rescue cannot accept worm-infested, wind fallen, bruised or slashed fruit. Fresh surplus produce of any kind can also be dropped off at the Nelson Food Cupboard on Mondays and Wednesdays between 9 a.m. and 1p.m.
Thank-you to all of the hard-working volunteers who make this program possible and successful in our community! For more information, contact Sophie at 250-5518343 (VEGE) or email her at harvestrescue@gmail.com. submitted by Harvest Rescue

Pickling
dr. science Christine Humphries
Pickling is a process of preserving certain foods by soaking and storing them in a salt or vinegar solution. The method described in the recipe above sounds like a long-brine procedure. In this method of pickling, the vegetables are soaked in a salt solution at specific temperatures for an extended period of time. The vegetables are “pickled” because the salt in the solution mixes with the moisture in the vegetables and their sugars to form an
I am interested in a recipe for pickles without vinegar and found one on the internet that I am curious as to how it would work. It is: Pack beans or cucumbers in jars with 2 tbl salt and 1tbl pickle spice and fill with water to 1” head space. Cap lightly for 24 hours, then tighten cap and store in a cool dark place for 6 weeks. Is there not a danger of food poisoning here? acidic solution in which nasty organisms cannot grow. The long-brine method requires very controlled conditions and typically, people who pickle prefer to use a short-brine procedure, a hybrid between pickling and canning, that involves a vinegar solution and a boiling-water bath to ensure that their pickles are safe to eat. One of the most dangerous bacterium that can grow in improperly canned food is Clostridium botuli-
num. It produces a toxin, called botulin, that can be lethal even in very small doses. Clostridium botulinum grows well in lowoxygen environments, it is an anaerobic bacteria, and in non-acidic environments (above pH4.9) such as beets, asparagus, mushrooms, tuna fish, chicken and luncheon meats. Its spores are very heat resistant, therefore it is absolutely imperative to properly process all home-made

canned goods. In fact, my Joy of Cooking cookbook recommends that all nonacidic home-made canned foods be taken out of their container and boiled before serving. In conclusion, pickling with salt is fine as long as you have the right amount of salt and maintain the right temperature to ensure that only the acid producing (safe) bacteria can live and not the undesirable ones.

Nelson cadet receives award

One Most Improved Cadet is selected from each Flight, and takes into account their overall improvement in the areas of performance, participation, attitude, conduct, and teamwork skills. Over 190 air cadets from throughout B.C. formally graduated during a ceremonial parade at Albert Head Air Cadet Summer Training Centre on Friday, July 26, 2013, in Victoria.

More than teaching teens how to camp, the Basic Survival Course provided hand-on exposure to primitive outdoor living skills; how to aid in a rescue as well as how to be rescued. The teens learned how to problem-solve under adverse conditions, including hunger and isolation, under stress and with a lack of sleep. The cadets learned how to push their personal boundaries, a transferrable life skill that can be applied to any situation, regardless of the life path they choose after they leave the Cadet Program. submitted by Albert Head Air Cadet Summer Training Centre

Humidity and drywall
“I can see the outline of the wall framing like shadow lines coming through the painted surface of the drywall on some of the interior walls and ceilings in my home. What causes this?”
Home Front
by Bill Lynch, Paul Muntak & Steve Cannon
Unfortunately, there is no definite answer. However, the most common and plausible explanation has to do with moisture and humidity in your home. Most likely the moisture being held in the warm interior house air is condensing on the cool interior surfaces of the wall framing. Moisture in the form of humidity will travel through the drywall and condense on the colder surfaces of wall framing. Remember
that the wall framing is also exposed to outside air on its exterior surfaces, wicking cold air to the warm side of the wall. Usually the “dew point” occurs about two thirds of the way through a wall assembly. Fortunately, this moisture, looking for a condensing surface does not find one until it reaches the outer wall sheathing. But in the circumstance you describe this may not be the case. There may not be a vapour barrier installed between the drywall and the wall fram-
ing which would aggravate this problem. Check for a missing vapour barrier at wall electrical outlets and switches. If it is missing, consider installing one. A further note here is that you do not have to remove the drywall and install a vapour barrier, you can purchase a moisture resistant paint to apply to your walls and ceilings. Also ensure that you have checked your home for all additional moisture sources such as; plumbing leaks, exposed earth in basement or crawl space, humidi-
fiers, ensure exterior of building is well sealed and ground slopes away from the building, use or install kitchen and bathroom fans, limit or remove firewood storage from interior of the building, attic or crawl space ventilation. An additional consideration is to install a dehumidistat connected to your bathroom fan in order to help reduce the level of humidity in your home. Afterwards, repaint one wall and see if the “telescoping” wall framing reappears.

Perry Ridge fire update August 1, 2013 Despite the difficult terrain, a fuel free line has been completed around 70 per cent of the fire’s perimeter. The fire was also mapped around 5 p.m. last
night. Conditions permitted the opportunity for more accurate mapping which revealed that the fire is now 64.5 hectares in size. Fire activity has remained minimal since last weekend. Wildfire
personnel are monitoring weather conditions very closely in order to adjust wildfire operations and ensure the safety of firefighting personnel. While smoke from this fire is visible from Winlaw
and surrounding areas, this fire is burning in a remote area and is not threatening any structures or communities at this time. submitted by the Southeast Fire Centre

On July 26, 2013 At 9:13 a.m. the Nelson Fire Rescue received a call reporting that a residential gas line had been pulled by a back hoe and that gas was leaking. The on duty crew responded immediately with one additional member responding from home. Upon arrival of the crew a strong odour of natural gas was apparent as well as a pulled line extruding from the ground. The wind was blowing the escaping
gas towards the residential properties on the north side of the street and in all four houses were evacuated as a safety precaution. A high volume fan was used to direct and dissipate the escaping gas away from the houses and any potential ignition sources. Nelson public works crews responded to assist Fortis Gas with excavating the line. Nelson Hydro crews responded to ensure that the
was a result of the lines contacting each other when the other lines were pulled. Nelson Fire Rescue would like to remind everyone to ensure that they have made all of the necessary calls prior to doing any excavation and to always treated downed lines as potentially “live” until hydro crews can get on scene and confirm that there is no danger. submitted by Nelson Fire Department

Opinion&Editorial Citizens for Jumbo Wild set up camp at Farnham Creek opinion
Kootenay residents opposing the development of Jumbo Glacier Resort met with Jumbo Glacier Resort (JGR) developer Grant Costello on the road into the Farnham Valley on Monday. The group has been camped on the road to the Farnham Glacier since July 24 and has been monitoring the road and the activities of Glacier Resorts Ltd (GRL). The Jumbo van is parked on the road to slow traffic and allow the folks in camp to talk to people coming up the road and to screen GRL activities. “Though we have not blocked anyone, including Grant Costello, from going up to Farnham Glacier, the RCMP told us that we could be arrested for mischief,” said K.Linda Kivi, a spokesperson for the Citizens for Jumbo Wild. The group said they became concerned when GRL began advertising for August cat-skiing tours. Kivi said that what is presented on the Jumbo Glacier Resort website inviting tourists to cat ski on the Farnham Glacier in August is not in compliance with conditions of the resort Master Development Agreement and Environmental Certificate. Kivi said the group plans to have a presence at the camp throughout the summer to monitor and respond to development. People can stay updated about the camp through defendjumbo.wordpress.com. submitted by K.Linda Kivi

Opinion&Editorial Publisher’s note Be prepared is our marching song. We live in an area that is rough By Nelson Becker and wild. In our communities we have the realistic threats of environmental catastrophes happening at any time. Whether it be a mudslide, like the one
in Johnsons’s Landing, a forest fire like the one currently burning on Perry Ridge, or the most recent incident of the jet fuel spill into Lemon Creek. We have a great search and rescue team in this area, but clearly there is a need for better communication between people that are affected
and resources. A facebook page called “Slocan Valley Emergency Response” was setup hours after the tragedy in the Valley, containing information on the incident. Thank you to the organizers of that site, as it has provided an important source if information for the effected communities and
for those interested. It is my hope that everyone likes that site, and that it does not have to be specific to the Slocan Valley. It could remain dormant until a crisis and then reactivated. Hindsight is always better than foresight. Let us learn from this event and be prepared.

My Opinion
by Spencer Pollard
The Fast Food Effect I love fast food. I’m aware of its negative properties but nothing satisfies like having a greasy burger after a long hard day. The cheap prices and the easiness of getting a full meal are often too tempting to ignore. So how are we supposed to go about being healthy if all of the other foods out there provide nourishment for cheaper prices and a preparation time that is far quicker? Well it’s all about planning and budgeting. Planning your meals well in advance can give you time to get produce
at a cheaper dispensary or even getting it at a sale price. Another option and one that I know of is growing your own food, my family grows our own tomatoes, potatoes, carrots and many other vegetables; it can save money as well as being far more rewarding. Fast food is easy and can taste great but it isn’t the best option for you. I don’t plan to quit eating it and I’m not actively trying to discourage anyone else from doing so. Cutting back and reducing those type of meals to once a month will do your body wonders.

Do you like to complain about the weather? The most common conversation topic is the weather. Even though there is nothing we can do about it, we still enjoy voicing our dissatisfaction about whatever we get: too hot, too cold, to dry, to wet, too much snow, not enough snow. Generally speaking, it seems most West Kootenayites are never satisfied. What about you?
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/wk_weather Last week’s survey responses:
Did you go, or do you plan to go away this summer? comments: No 66.7%
Yes 33.3%
Nelson is so beautiful in the summer, with so much going on in the area. Why go anywhere else? Stuart Lake, near Fort St. James. It’s so beautiful and peaceful, no electricity or internet. Just great conversations, food and swimming with my partner. The next best place after Nelson. Nelson is so beautiful this summer -- why go anywhere else! I went to Waskesiu Lake, Saskatchewan in the Prince Albert National Park in early July for my annual Art Show & Sale and for a visit with all my family and friends who live there. Also returning there in August to attend a family reunion. Shambhala! Because it’s the only time I get off in the summer, and I might as well go dance.. and it’s basically in my backyard.
