Turning over a new leaf for bikes
New bike racks adorn Baker Street Baker Street has sprouted some- new artwork in the form of two leaf-shaped bike racks, designed and created by local artist Tony Waterfall. Waterfall’s hand-forged steel racks are the first in a series of five racks to be installed this year. Earlier thisyear, the City put out a call for proposals seeking artistdesigned bike racks. Entries were encouraged to be as creative as pos- sible, while meeting the need for racks that are durable, easy to install,
affordable, and use sidewalk space efficiently. Tony Waterfall has been creat- ing handmade, custom ironwork for homes and businesses in the Kootenays and beyond for over twenty years. He began his career in blacksmithing 25 years ago, learn- ing the skills of this 4000 year-old craft by working in the Mennonite commuity of St Jacobs, Ontario. His shop, Waterfall Metal Studio, located

on the North shore, creates every- thing from railings, gates and fire- place enclosures to furniture, lighting and sculpture. This project is an initiative of The City of Nelson’s Cultural Development Committee, in partner- ship with The City of Nelson’s Public Works department. The CDC is dedi- ated to the development, promotion and enhancement of Nelson’s arts, culture and heritage sector. Submitted by the City of Nelson

Waste reduction at markets
Teck a finalist for Land Awards
The EarthMatters program is in action again this summer, giving edu- cational workshops and information, and facilitating enhanced waste recov- ery at Farmer’s Markets throughout the region. Whether it’s Worm, Bokashi, or just a regular old heap, composting will be a main focus of the Waste Reduction Resource and Education Project. Taking a cue from successes at recent markets in the region, the pro- gram will also provide facilitated waste reduction, helping people sepa- rate recyclables, compost, and gar- bage at waste stations. The program follows on the heels of last year’s “Zero Waste Market Challenge,” which offered incentives to Market vendors who committed to waste reduction. www.ecosociety.ca
The Real Estate Foundation of BC unveiled the finalists for its fifth annual Land Awards Gala. The awards honour companies, non-profits and governments leading innovative land use projects that contribute to sus- tainable communities. Finalists are selected on their ability to demon- strate innovation, leadership and col- laboration in sustainable land use in BC and are chosen in three categories; private sector, public sector and nonprofit sector. Among the private sec- tor finalists is Kootenay Sustainability Strategy – Teck Resources Limited. The winner in each category will be announced atbuilding the Land Awards Gala community since 1988 hosted by the Real Estate Foundation on October 17. http://kootenayconservation.ca/realestate-foundation-of-bc-announcesfinalists-for-land-awards/

Opinion&Editorial My Opinion
by Spencer Pollard
Being a Completionist
When it comes to any form of media, I like to consider myself a completionist. I’ve started more things then I can count and yet I feel obligated to complete them, regardless of how much enjoyment I get from them. Why is that? Video games are a good example of this. Many of us who play games or binge watch television like to see things through to the end and get a sense of accom- plishment for doing so. We need to get every trophy; we need to watch every episode. Bragging rights is one reason you may accomplish some-
thing in a video game that your friend hasn’t and thus, have some form of superior- ity over them. Dopamine is a key com- ponent as well. Dopamine is a chemical released within your brain that fuels will. It’s crucial for motivation, so if you have a large amount of dopamine flowing through your system you will feel far more motivated to fin- ish something than someone else. You may or not be a completionist but, there is a thrill to be had when it comes down to finishing something you love to completion.

Friday, July 18, 2014 Page10 gun Club 7-9 p.m. Aug. 2 Gray Creek Hall, 2:30-4:30 p.m. ============= Reaching Out to Rural Seniors Nelson CARES Society and the Age Friendly Community Initiative have hired a Student Intern from Selkirk College for “Reaching Out”, a research and outreach project that will “reach out” to isolated rural seniors to talk with them about their concerns, challenges, and service needs. The project will also connect the seniors to orga- nizations that can help them meet these needs. Rural seniors can become isolated for a num- ber of reasons, including distance to services, lack of transportation, poor health, or the absence of family and friends nearby. The Reaching Out proj- ect is working in collabora- tion with Nelson & District Seniors Coordinating Society, North Kootenay Lake Community Services and Regional District of Central Kootenay (Area E). These organizations will help the Intern to reach seniors in rural communities surrounding Nelson, includ- ing the areas around Salmo, South Slocan, Balfour, and Kaslo. In this way, the proj- ect will benefit the organi- zations that provide servic- es to seniors by connecting them to this hard-to-reach population. Funding for the Reaching Out project was made available through the Teck Serv Applied Research Internship, sponsored by Teck Trail Operations through the Columbia Basin Rural Development Institute at Selkirk College. The goal of Teck Serv is to provide annual support

============= Be Safe On the Slocan River Nelson—The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) and the Slocan Riverwatch Society are urg- ing recreational users of the Slocan River to be safe this summer. Please keep the follow- ing in mind when canoeing, kayaking, boating or float- ing on the river: Always wear a per- sonal flotation device (pfd) that fits you properly Do not drink alcohol and recreate on the river Do not stand up in moving water - your feet can get stuck or lodged between rocks or other objects on the bottom of the river and as the water keeps moving it can push you and hold you down. This is called ‘foot entrapment’ and is very dangerous. Float with your feet high in the water. Respect log jams, fallen trees and wood pil- ings. They are called ‘strainers’ - the water goes through strainers but people don’t. Wood in the river is very dangerous and must be avoided. Use a sturdy and dependable craft. Know where to put in and take out, and be pre- pared for the length of your trip. Slocan Riverwatch has posted signs at certain access points along the river. Please refer to this signage for general safety instructions, access and pull out points and to indicate where hazardous log jams and wood pilings exist on the river. If in doubt about wheth- er or not you can go on the river safely, then it is best to be cautious and stay off the water.

As part of their commitment to community outreach and food security advocacy, the Seniors Environmental and Economic Development Society (SEEDS) has expanded its operations to include an outdoor com- munity garden pilot project in the City of Nelson Tree Compound at Lakeside Park. The six raised beds provide local gardeners a shared public space to come together, exchange knowl- edge and skills, and grow their own organic food. In addition to what is sure to be an abundant harvest for all the community garden- ers, SEEDS is hoping to engender a more resilient and sustainable commu- nity capable of facing the increasing environmental, economic, and social pres- sures of today.
