A new opportunity for Kootenay Co-op members The Kootenay Co-op has launched its Member Loans Program which offers members a new way to support the Co-op and make a local, ethical investment at the same time. The Member Loans Program will be in effect for all of October with a goal of raising $1.5 million to purchase the fixtures for the new store. “As excitement builds and details of our store relocation fall into place, one of the crucial components in our new development is the investment by member-owners,” says Susan
Morrison, one of the Coop’s Board Directors. “Member loans are very important because they demonstrate to lending institutions that we, as owners, are committed to this project and are willing to support it, and that it merits outside investment too.” The Co-op has outgrown its current location and Coop staff and members are looking forward to moving to the new store on the corner of Vernon and Hendryx in 2015. The new store will offer customers more space to shop, on-site parking,

a beautiful outdoor green space, an indoor seating area, more great products, a larger storage which will increase the Co-op’s buying power and much more. The member loans will be used specifically to buy the new shelving, lights, refrigeration units, check out tills, office computers and other fixtures. All members of the Kootenay Co-op are eligible to make a loan to the Coop, and other community members excited about the opportunity to invest locally can join the Co-op and be a

Hospital foundation receives funds
Cal Renwick of Nelson Toyota and Members of Nelson Professional Fire Fighters Association deliver a cheque to Bryna Idler of the Kootenay Lake Hospital Foundation. The fire fighters volunteered their time to clean off the large lot where Nelson Toyota keeps their cars. In return, Renwick donated $500 in their name. The fire fighters’ union added similar funds they received from the Kootenay Coop, for helping with their Nelson Commons effort, to bring the cheque total to $1000. The hospital foundation is raising funds this year to buy a portable ultrasound for the emergenc department.

Nelson curling club and squash club; better together? The Nelson Curling Centre and the Nelson Squash Club are currently investigating whether or not a strategic partnership could work to share the aging curling centre building. The building is currently underutilized, is leased from the City of Nelson and encounters on going repairs, maintenance and high utility expenses. The curling rink has a sand floor, which eliminates the use of the large open space in the off season, but has the potential to facilitate non-curling events for other private and public building sharing partners.
NCC regularly applies for grants and funding to secure the financing needed to renovate the building and deliver new curling programs. The Nelson and District Recreation Commission are meeting in October to discuss the usage of the existing buildings within the recreation precinct, and move forward on a plan for recreation for Nelson and District. The Nelson Squash Club is alive and well and still operating above the Royal at 330 Baker St. Squash courts have been available to the public above
the Royal Hotel for almost 30 years. In 2011, the club membership formed a non-profit society to run the club operations when the last private operators decided to move on due to redevelopment plans for the building. Access and membership information can be obtained by email at: nelsonsquashclubinfo@ gmail.com The Nelson Curling Centre, who had 175 members last year, is preparing for the upcoming curling season that is filled with re-energized programs. Weekly leagues
start Oct 14 and include mixed, men’s, seniors and ladies. New curling programs include an “Open House Oct 9-10 7 p.m.”, plus “Learn-ToCurl”, “Little Rockers” and “Youth League after school” all starting Oct. 28. NCC would like to encourage people of all ages to try the sport of curling, because it’s great fun and exercise, not to mention a Canadian tradition.

Hot-tub maintenance
Recently I purchased a used hot tub. It’s about ten years old. I’m concerned about the increase to my electric bill and wondering if you have any suggestions and maintenance tips.
Home Front
by Bill Lynch, Paul Muntak & Steve Cannon
Depending on the size of the tub and motor you can expect that a hot tub will add about $1 to $2 per day to your electric bill. This can be reduced by ensuring the hot tub lid is in good condition and is well fitted after each use. If the lid is old consider replacing it with a new thicker Styrofoam cover. As well, you can purchase a construction insulation blanket from a local commercial construction com-
pany. These blankets are used to keep concrete and formwork warm in cold weather. They are big so you’ll probably have to double it up before you lay it over the whole hot tub during cold weather. If your pump is equipped with a 24-hour timer I recommend setting it to four on/off cycles. Some people prefer to leave the pump running continuously, especially in cold weather but I have never had any problems with freezing using this system of cycles. This also gives your
pump a chance to rest throughout its service life, which may help extend its service life. Make sure you balance the water and add pump treatment at least once a week. However, a schedule for balancing the water is related to the amount of use the tub gets, the number of people using the tub and the amount of contamination to which the water is exposed. Deodorants, perfume, kid’s toys and party treats are just a few items that can throw your pool water out of balance.
The more particular you are about what goes into the water the less you have to adjust and change the water. If you react to chlorine, try switching to bromine. If you are sensitive to both, consider installing an ultraviolet light with an ozonator. When you install your tub ensure that you put it on a properly sized GFCI breaker with the correct type and size of wiring. An electrical permit is required so consider hiring a certified electrician to help you with the “roughin” installation.

Do pregnant women really need ice cream? dr. science Christine Humphries
I was eating directly out of a tub of ice cream the other day and wondered why so many pregnant women, like myself, eat an extraordinary amount of ice cream. The intense desire to eat a specific food is called a food craving (the opposite feeling is a food aversion). I spoke to Helen Lutz, a Community Nutritionist with Interior Health, who assured me that
food cravings are an entirely normal aspect of pregnancy (phew!). She even considers them to be one of the more humourous aspects of pregnancy. Who can help laughing at a pickle and ice cream snack?! Scientific studies have shown that more than 60% of pregnant women have at least one food craving, and, contrary to what is seen on TV sitcoms, these cravings are not only limited to pickles and ice cream. In one study, the main food cravings of 250
pregnant women were for milk, ice cream, sweets and candy (especially chocolate), fruits and fish. The reasons why pregnant women have food cravings are not clear, and experts don’t agree as to whether there is a physiological or psychological basis for them. Most food cravings are not linked to any obvious nutrient insufficiency; women craving pickles do not lack salt and, those craving ice cream, do not lack calcium. Hormonal fluctuations during pregnan-

cy, may alter certain physiological states, causing foods to taste, and smell, better (or worse) than normal. This could explain why women prefer certain foods during pregnancy. Food cravings may also have social or cultural causes: pregnant women may have food cravings because they believe that they are supposed to have them. Whatever the cause of food cravings, ice cream tastes good on a hot summer day and especially when you are pregnant!

Opinion&Editorial
Duhamel Watershed Alliance calls for negoatiations for long term logging plan by Nadine Podmoroff
Logging activities concern all who live in the Six Mile North Shore area for potentially many years to come. Ministry of Forests has given Kalesnikoff Lumber permission to log extensively in the Duhamel Creek Watershed and Six Mile area, and the Licensee states they are about to apply for another logging permit, in addition to the permitted Watershed logging project which is well underway. The Duhamel Watershed Alliance recently arranged an informal GEO Tec tour of the Duhamel Creek watershed and project site. Following the tour, much investigation, and professional and expert advice, the Alliance decided to draft a long term logging plan with the aid of professional advisors. The Alliance fosters community collab-
oration and now calls all residents and water users groups of the 6 mile North Shore area to add their input and choose delegates to join in on the planning. The prescription would include road construction, logging, silviculture, postharvest and risk mitigation, followed by regular joint field assessments and monitoring. It would be drafted by delegates of the Alliance and all water users groups with aid of professional advisers. Recognizing that constructive community and company relationships will best address the risks which cumulatively increase with further road building, logging activity and climate change, negotiation of this long term plan will be essential in stabilizing community response. The plan would develop protocols
of safe road construction, harvesting, replanting and maintenance, monitoring, review and updating, and it would consider cumulative impacts and the potential for increased road construction and logging to eventually reach levels that will increase the flooding risk on the fan. The Alliance recently forwarded a letter to Kalesnikoff Lumber requesting the Licensee meet with North Shore community delegates and their chosen professional advisers to jointly plan both the next cut block and the long term logging and related risk mitigation activity. Kalesnikoff Lumber responded by confirming their pleasure to work with the Duhamel Watershed Alliance and agreed to meet to review long term planning. The company also recommended more field
trips and volunteered to send out plans, assessments and needed reports. Not all community members are in agreement with these decisions, because many residents are very concerned for the safety of their families, community and properties as well as clean drinking water. They state the risks are too high, and they are strongly opposed to the road construction and logging. They have been demanding actions to stop this project. The Alliance has chosen to take a pro-active approach to benefit all by communicating and negotiating with Kalesnikoff Lumber to achieve highest standards for risk management.

Opinion&Editorial Editorial Keep our streets clean O u r Streets, alleys, By Nelson Becker and beaches are littered with the remains and leftovers of tobacco consumption. Even before we made the ill-advised law against dogs on Baker St, the most litter we had came from cigarettes and tobacco discards. Eventually dogs will be allowed back on Baker with bags dispensers to pick up gifts our dogs leave us. Essentially it is illegal to smoke on Baker St because
it is illegal to smoke within 10 feet of a business. The challenge is encouraging people to follow the law. Cigarette discards are especially bad at beaches because birds and animals mistake the filters and plastic for food and we end up poisoning our wildlife. As a society we have to adopt the ‘leave no trace’ philosophy. We have to pack it out even if it wasn’t us that left the garbage. Together we can have really clean streets and beaches.

by Spencer Pollard
Ben Affleck as Batman?
Many of us cinephiles out there got into a fuss when Ben Affleck was announced as the new Batman in the upcoming Batman/Superman crossover film. My question is why jump to conclusions when the movie isn’t even out yet? Ben Affleck may have had a spotty acting history as many like to point to his last superhero outing in Daredevil as a warning sign. Firstly, that movie was made a decade ago and Ben has improved as both
an actor and director since then. Secondly, he has proven he as the acting chops in critically acclaimed films such as Argo and Good Will Hunting so clearly he’s talented enough to act the part. Is he the best choice? That’s hard to say, as there is a sea of other actors capable of playing the part. Jumping to conclusions is just silly and it’s best for us all to just wait for the final product. He may not be the best actor for the job but he’s one who can surely do it justice.
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

Help us improve! It’s time for the Express annual reader survey http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/express_2013 Last week’s survey responses:
Do you read flyers?
60% yes 40% no comments: why or why not? Yes, to find the best bargins. I would prefer if the flyers were online, so we could print off only the pages that we need. When I did read them all they really said was buy buy buy, baby clothing, cheap pointless stuff that you totally do not need but we want money so by it anyway. I like the Express way better. Yes I read flyers. It is freedom of information. it’s a waste of time.
I don’t buy or use any of the products advertised. I do because I want to know whats on sale. I would prefer they be discontinued and the cost savings passed on to the consumer through lower prices across the board. I really despise the flyers where you must cut out the coupon and bring it to the store to receive discounts. If I come to a store to shop, I should get the sale price without need to bring a piece of paper. Too much garbage.
No, too busy. Yes, to see who’s selling organic broccoli cheaper. They are an invasion .We don’t buy because we are seduced to do so! I refuse to be influenced by advertising. When I want something, I will find out about it and then buy it. Flyers are a complete waste of paper. Yes; comparison shopping. I sometimes read the flyers for sales at the grocery store, but mostly I just toss them out.
