It’s a circular route, coming south along Highway 6, and returning to New Denver via Kootenay Lake and Kaslo. The proceeds go to benefit the West Kootenay Chapter, MS Society of Canada to assist with local needs and to fund research to find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. Aside from the training required to take part in a 2 day ride, there is also a minimum amount of fund-raising that each rider must raise. To donate or register: www.msbiketours.ca

Castlegar labour dispute
The CUPE Local 2262 workers who keep City of Castlegar services running are one step closer to taking job action. The Local is holding strike training for its members this week. Mediated talks broke down on July 15. No new talks have been scheduled. While the union is in a legal position to strike, they say they will still provide 72-hour notice before commencing any strike action. submitted by CUPE 2262
More Jumbo legal action Nelson-based non-profit society West Kootenay EcoSociety filed an Amended Petition this week respecting its legal challenge to the incorporation of the Jumbo Glacier Mountain Resort Municipality (“JGMRM”). The Amended Petition asks the BC Supreme Court to quash the incorporation of the personless municipality, and strike down the legislative amendments which purport to allow the creation of such an entity. West Kootenay EcoSociety and other organizations are encouraging concerned citizens to camp at the Jumbo Road in August and September for the purposes of monitoring any ongoing development. The organization claims that the proposed developer has not met the 195 legallybinding commitments as part of its environmental approval. The Environmental Assessment Office is investigating these complaints, and encourages the public to assist in monitoring compliance. www.ecosociety.ca Click ad to go to advertiser’s website.

Suspicious fire under house porch in Nelson Friday, Aug. 1, at 4:18 a.m. the Nelson Fire Department responded to a report of a fire under a porch. Both on duty members responded immediately. Upon arrival of the first crew, fire was observed. The first arriving crew’s primary objective was to extinguish the fire. The fire was extinguished quickly using 50 gallons of water & crews
checked for any possible extension and found none. The fire appears to have originated under the steps of the front porch and is suspicious in nature. In all, two firefighters responded to the incident with one fire engine. No injuries were reported as a result of this incident. Damage is estimated
at $5000. As we are in the wildfire season Nelson Fire Rescue would like to take this opportunity to remind the public to reduce coniferous vegetation from within 3 meters surrounding your residence. And to ensure you have working smoke alarms in your home. submitted by Nelson Fire Rescue
Police Reports: ticket fraud, vehicle and passenger theft, “wildlife” On Thursday, Aug. 7, information was received by Nelson Police Department that fraudulent festival tickets were being sold for $300 and when the purchasers attended the music festival they were being advised by festival staff that the tickets purchased were not valid. The Nelson Police Department conducted an investigation which resulted in two further incidents of fraud and the arrest of a 35 year-old female and her 49-year old partner, both from Nelson. Both parties are facing multiple charges. The police are continuing an active investigation into this matter. Anyone with information that could assist in in this investigation is requested to contact the Nelson Police Department at 250-354-3919. During the early morning hours of Saturday, Aug. 2, .the Nelson Police Department received a complaint that a car and a person were missing. The incident was explained to police as follows. The vehicle operator drove to a location near the downtown core where he parked to off load some of his belongings into a residence. He left his female passenger to sleep in the front seat. The keys were left in the vehicle ignition. Much to the chagrin of the vehicle owner, when he came back to collect another load of belongings, the vehicle was gone, passenger included! The passenger reported to police that she had been asleep in the front seat of the vehicle when she was awoken by
someone touching her on the back. She did not recognize the male driver, so she asked him who he was. The male stated to the passenger, ”Don’t worry, I’m your daddy”. He then drove on. When the vehicle stopped to allow pedestrians to cross the road, the passenger wisely disembarked. The unknown male driver simply exited the vehicle and walked away. The Nelson Police Department was notified approximately one hour after the incident took place. An investigation was immediately launched and a person of interest was soon identified. The Nelson Police Department are recommending to lock your unattended vehicle and don’t leave your ignition keys in an unattended vehicle. Not even for a moment! During the middle of the day on Sunday, Aug. 3, a Nelson driver was shocked frightened when she suddenly saw a male on a bicycle veer into her lane heading straight toward her vehicle. She found herself an uninvited and unwilling participant in a vehicular game of chicken. The participants were a 5000 pound automobile versus 25 pound bicycle. At the last possible second, just prior to impact, the bicycle rider veered around the onrushing vehicle, narrowly avoiding a collision. Astonishingly, as the male rode past her vehicle he spat onto the windshield and then again into the open window of the vehicle. The driver was shocked and disgusted.
Fortunately, she recognized the bike rider and called out his name. He returned to the scene and apologized for his vile outburst. He offered to clean his spittle from the interior of her vehicle. The apology was not accepted. The complainant told police the name of the spitter. An investigation was initiated and police are on the lookout for the spitter. During the morning hours of Saturday, August 2, the police were requested to assist a home owner with an animal in the basement of their home. The caller reported being able to hear an animal scratching about in the basement. The noise and thought of facing a wild animal made the caller wary thus the police were summoned. The responding Nelson Police officers could not hear the scratching noise that had been reported. As per their training, the officers pushed into the basement to investigate the unknown. After rooting through the basement for about ten minutes a cardboard box under the stairs was identified as the source of the noise. The box was isolated and carefully opened. Inside the box the officers located a lone house mouse. The mouse box was transported to outdoors where the mouse was freed into the yard. One of the officers remarked that the mouse appeared to be in remarkably good health after the harrowing ordeal. submitted by the Nelson Police Department

Opinion&Editorial My Opinion
by Spencer Pollard
Art of Imagination For years man has struggled with the eternal question: paper or plastic? For many of us paper is the obvious choice when it comes to grocery bags. But is that really the case, or is plastic getting a bad wrap (pun not intended)? Plastic is generally more convenient and even more easily reusable, as opposed to paper which breaks far more easily but is also more environmentally friendly. One fact you may not be aware of is that its easier for the stores to produce the plastic variety
of bags, yet environmental groups tend to pressure the larger grocery stores to offer the more environmentally friendly alternative. Also worth mentioning is that the production of paper actually emits air pollution, significantly more then the production of plastic. So which is better? Well it’s really up to you, going paper may be more environmentally friendly but plastic is cheaper to make which could be the difference in a smaller store being able to maintain operations. Make whatever choice suits you.
