New vision for Nelson Landing

presented

� e proposed Nelson Landing hous-ing development is back, with a new look aimed at opening up the city’s east waterfront with public amenities.

Storm Mountain Development Cor-poration in Vancouver picked up the abandoned project last September. � e company’s CEO, Allard Ockeloen, was familiar with the Nelson Landing from having worked as the project’s chief � -nancial o� cer under former owner Da-vid Sorenson of Sorenson Fine Homes.

Ockeloen was at a Nelson city council meeting Monday to share his new vi-sion for the project, which will require zoning changes and therefore a public consultation process.

� e new owner scrapped the Vene-tian style, over-water condos that Soren-son had designed to extend on piers into Kootenay Lake. Instead, the new design shows a waterfront patio and mixed use buildings, as well as a 38-slip marina.

“I envision a cafe moving into the commercial space to serve people sitting on the pier,” Ockeloen said. “It will be a place people can slow down and take

Pool ceiling ready to come downNelson and District Community Complex

Former Nelson Resident in Hollywood

Workers at the Nelson and District Community Com-plex Aquatic Centre are now erecting sca� olding in prepa-ration for removal of the false ceiling.

� e Regional District of Central Kootenay announced Friday they’d hired Matakana Sca� olding on March 7 and they expect their crews to have sca� olding completed this week.

� e pool at the Nelson and District Community Com-plex is closed until further notice a� er a section of ceil-ing tiles fell in the facility on January 28. Several sta� have been laid o� .

� e regional district has

also issued an invitation to tender to hire a hazard-ous materials contractor to remove the ceiling and lead paint from trusses in the pool area.

The RDCK anticipates the damaged ceiling will be removed by the end of the month, when renovations to the pool area can begin.

Depending upon how

work progresses, the earli-est the aquatic centre could reopen is June.

� e RDCK says it will con-tinue to update the public regularly.

Middleditch, an alumnus of L.V.

For � e O� ce episode he was cast as Dwight’s (Rainn Wilson) brother, Jeb Schrute, a farmer who grows medical marijuana in California.

� e episode was originally

made its way into � e O� ce’s � nal season.

Meanwhile, Middleditch is now working with Beavis and Butthead creator Mike Judge on a pilot episode for a potential HBO series called Silicon Valley, a dark comedy about San Francisco so� ware developers. Filming for that project, according to the website hbowatch.com, began last week.

� e actor also recently self-released a free album called Semi-Serious, which can be downloaded at his website thomasmiddleditch.com.

If you’ve been considering nominating a band or DJ for the Kootenay Music Awards, now is the time to do it.

All artists who live in the Kootenays are eligible to en-ter a song in one of the 10 award categories that rec-ognize the range of musical talent coming out of the re-gion. There’s a category for everything from best DJ to best roots and blues band.

More than 70 songs have already been submitted on-line at kootenaymusicawards.com and KMA president Chad Hansen hopes to see many more roll in before nominations close next Fri-day (March 29).

“If you’re an artist yourself or even just a fan of a local band, I’d encourage you to go to the website and submit an MP3.

“Let people hear it. You never know what could hap-pen,” Hansen says.

Fans can check out the music that’s been submit-ted so far by clicking the “nominate” tab at the top of the page, then going to “view entries.”

Hansen has listened to many of the submissions and is impressed by the variety.

“There’s some really eclec-

tic, interesting music that’s been posted up there,” Han-sen says.

After nominations close, the panel of five industry judges will shortlist their favourites for public voting. The judges include music festival producers Christine Hunter from Shambhala and Lea Belcourt from Starbelly Jam; Nelson live music venue managers Ryan Martin from Spiritbar and Paul Hinrichs from The Royal; and Koote-nay Co-op Radio program

manager Jay Hannley.“These are great people to

get your music into the ear of,” Hansen says.

So far the nomination page is dominated by Nelson-based artists. But Hansen is encouraging bands from ev-ery corner of the Kootenays to get their music in. Bands who entered last year are also welcome to enter again.

Shane Johnsen, frontman for The Automation — win-ner of Best New Band in last year’s KMAs — says he saw

a surge in new listens on the band’s Soundcloud page dur-ing the public voting period.

“We had about 2,000 unique listens, which is huge boost for a band just start-ing out,” Johnsen says. “We recorded everything our-selves, without a producer, so we were really proud to be recognized last year.”

The Automation has sub-mitted an early release off their next album for this year’s awards and will be playing at the awards gala event, along with last year’s Best Artist winner, Shred Kelly, on May 10 at Spiritbar in Nelson.

To enter a song in the Kootenay Music Awards, go to kootenaymusicawards.com.

The Kootenay Music Awards are presented by Nelson Brewing Company and Black Press. Platinum sponsors include Kootenay Co-op Radio, Vantage Point, Nelson and District Credit Union, AM Ford, and Selkirk College.

Other sponsors are Wapiti Music Festival, Kootenay Savings Credit Union, Bee Kissed Body Piercing, Nel-son Kootenay Lake Tourism, Chatterson Drive, Our Glass, Ric’s Lounge and Grill, Trib-ute Boardshop and Whitewa-ter Ski Resort.

Last call for award nominationsKootenay Music Awards

The Automation was named Best New Artist in the 2012 Kootenay Music Awards and has nominated a track for this year’s awards as well. The final day to send your nominations to the KMAs is March 29.

Nelson’s Stompin’ Tom connectionThe Kootenays played a

role in last week’s celebration of Stompin’ Tom Connors’ life thanks to Nelson-raised Tim Hus.

Hus performed at Con-nors’ memorial service in Peterborough, Ontario last Wednesday and was one of the pallbearers at the Cana-dian music legend’s private funeral.

“It has been a tough week, but I was very honoured to be a pallbearer at Stompin’ Tom’s funeral in Peterbor-ough and to sing and front the band at the public memo-rial at the local hockey arena: The Memorial Center,” Hus wrote on his website.

“The private funeral took place on Tuesday and I’m not sure if I have ever been to a funeral that was licensed. I had the privilege of drinking Moosehead beer with former Governor General Adrienne Clarkson at the service — that’s something that could only happen at the Stomper’s funeral.

“There were many touch-ing moments both at the pri-vate service on Tuesday and also at the public memorial on Wednesday.

“Ken Dryden, Mike Plume, Sylvia Tyson, J.P. Cormier, Dave Gunning, and many more family, friends, and fans, were all present and we did our best to give

our favorite boot stompin’ troubadour the best send off possible.”

Hus was born and raised in Nelson. He has been mak-ing “Canadian cowboy mu-sic” records since 2002 with song titles such as Slocan Slim and the Kootenay Kid, Sasquatch Hunter and Hock-eytown.

Hus brings his varied life experience to his music, hav-ing worked as a carpenter’s helper, framer, warehouse hand, forklift driver, van driver, treeplanter, brewery worker, beer truck driver, fruit picker, fisherman, pine cone picker, sawhand, cabinet maker, well driller, painter, courier, assembly line worker, salmon farmer, furniture mover, labourer, and a maintenance man.

Hus told the Star this week that his father Helmut was a big influence on him and

turned him on to country folk storytelling music like Woody Guthrie, Johnny Cash and Stompin’ Tom.

Though Nelson has a vi-brant music scene, country is not the first genre one thinks of for this part of the country.

“I guess maybe the Koo-tenays are not a country hotbed per se, but the thing about the Kootenays is that you can pretty much do or be whatever you want and people are pretty cool with that,” Hus told the Star.

Now based in Calgary, Hus toured across the country for two years with Stompin’ Tom between 2009 and 2010.

“That was a pretty big thrill for me, he was my number-one guy,” said Hus. “At that time if you asked me if I could open for anybody… Johnny Cash or U2 or any-body, it would have been Stompin’ Tom.”

It was while they were on that tour that Stompin’ Tom passed the mantle to his young country colleague.

“I’ve been looking for 30 years for a young guy who’s proud to write songs about our country,” Connors said. “I’d like to pass the torch to Tim Hus.”

If that statement wasn’t daunting at the time, it be-came a lot more last week.

“Now that he has passed, it does make it a lot more poignant for me,” said Hus.

Though Hus takes the responsibility seriously and said he will continue to work hard making music and tour-ing, Stompin’ Tom was one-of-a-kind.

“He really did things his own way,” said Hus. “He was the ultimate indie artist, he was the indie artist even be-fore the term existed. Play-ing little hotels in Northern Ontario and writing about the local loggers and miners, making records and selling them out of his trunk. There will only be one Stompin’ Tom. He [showed] young musicians there is an alter-native and you can do it in Canada. You can make a liv-ing singing about these small Canadian towns.”

Hus graduated from Nel-son’s L.V. Rogers in 1996. His father and sister Kristina still live in the area.

Stompin’ Tom Connors died on March 6 of renal failure at age 77.

Tim Hus a Pallbearer at Canadian Music Legend’s Funeral

A Nelson Hydro manager says any dredging of Grohm-an Narrows by BC Hydro won’t likely have much ef-fect on the city’s downstream power generation.

“My guess is it will have a minimal positive impact [on Nelson Hydro],” operations manager Mike Amos told the Star. “It won’t have a nega-tive impact because we have a firm license guaranteeing water.”

Nelson’s power plant gen-erates the same amount of electricity, he said — except during spring freshet. “That’s where it may have a small impact, where we have more

water. We can run up to full capacity at that time. The rest of the year it wouldn’t affect us at all.”

Last year Nelson’s plant ran at full capacity from the last week in April until the first week in August due to the higher-than-normal

snowpack, rainfall, and run-off that combined for the highest river levels in nearly 40 years. The 90 gigawatt hours the plant produced was the most in its 107-year history and resulted in a $500,000 windfall for the company, which is normally

under contract to sell surplus power to BC Hydro at a fixed rate. Last year, however, BC Hydro also had a surplus of power and didn’t need any more.

While dredging the Nar-rows was last done in the late 1930s and early ‘40s, Amos said it has been discussed many times since. He said the biggest question mark is the effect on fish.

Last week, BC Hydro began riverbed surveys to determine if widening the Kootenay River bottleneck is feasible and is expected to decide early in 2014 whether to continue to the next stage of investigation. If dredging goes ahead, it will still be a few years away.

Editorial

There are few patches of land in this community as heavily tread upon in the political arena as the former Koote-

nay Forest Products site on our waterfront.Since industry packed up and left in the

mid-80s, the ultimate fate of that prime piece of real estate on the West Arm has been an almost 30-year constant. On Monday night at City Hall, another tiny chapter in the history of the city’s east waterfront started to be writ-ten.

For 10 years the mill site sat as a scar of our past. As the community rose out of its post-industry glory days to a more tourism-based town, visitors who drove over the Nelson Bridge could only wonder why such a prime piece of land sat empty.

In the mid-1990s, Vancouver-based Millen-nia Corporation blew into the West Kootenay with promises of transforming the land into a bustling neighbourhood with 350 units of housing of all sorts. Then-mayor Gary Exner brimmed with excitement as he envisioned the transformation of the waterfront and the spur to the economy it would provide. Many heated public meetings were held as the isola-tionists in the community panicked.

The beleaguered BC economy of the late-90s doomed Millennia’s plans and for a few years all hope was lost.

Out of the ashes, new plans were eventually put together for less ambitious development of the land. More public meetings were held and more controversy ensued.

Today the former mill site stands as a testa-ment to how it probably should have been done in the first place: with modesty and shaped by the realistic needs of the commu-nity. With an impressive mix of housing that ranges from high-end, single family homes to assisted living seniors housing, the neigh-bourhood continues to evolve.

The original Nelson Landing proposal fell into the overly-ambitious category. On the surface, the plans unveiled Monday night seem more realistic.

Once again public input will be sought and once again Nelson will respond with passion that comes from love of community. In the end, we hope the finished product will be something worthy of our waterfront.

On the embattled waterfront

Happy First Day of Spring! This is such an interest-

ing time of year in Nelson. I live in upper Uphill, and each day descend from my snowy yard to the land where people are raking grass and watching their tulips grow. That vertical change can be a bit hard to take!

This is not dissimilar to many people’s reaction to change, as last week’s Star editorial pointed out, citing the amenity areas’ modifications as an example.

I understand that. When things I really care about are changed, I get anxious and resistant. So I think it’s laudable that people are passionately reacting because they passionately care about our unique and beautiful downtown.

The troubling part is the tendency to react negatively — to auto-matically assume that the City, in this case, is doing something idiotic. It’s sad that there isn’t enough goodwill or trust such that people would seek out information before react-ing. In fact, the passion for the downtown is shared by everyone at City Hall, and we see our gem needs a little polishing.

It was brilliant to watch the downtown revitaliza-tion of the 1980s and see stucco and corrugated steel being torn off build-ings, revealing rich red brick, luminous granite and fancy architectural details. Everyone pitched in — private and public — and invested in the down-town, even though it was during the recession of the 1980s. The investment

paid off. Now, it’s time to do it again.

As a start, the city is investing in the amenity areas. We want to make them friendly places for gathering, public art, and activities (like music, ar-tisan displays, a speakers’ corner). Only one tree was removed (the beautiful magnolia) and it now re-sides in Railtown. Flower beds that had been bricked in will be opened up again to plantings. Benches will return.

Now, we need our private sector partners to also invest. Some build-ings need sprucing up. Some awnings are simply disgusting. If we all act with pride and confidence, we can make Downtown Revitalization No. 2 as successful as the first one.

As an antidote to this controversial change (and the snow in my yard), I went to visit the crew working at the greenhouse at Lakeside Park. There they were, harvesting carrots, kale, mesclun and other greens. And thin-

ning big pots and beds of much more. Seeing all that life and activity is such a dream come true. For so many years, we’ve talked about the greenhouses and how they should be used, but it just never really hap-pened.

Until Lee Reid came along with her trowel and her group SEEDS — and now there’s 4H Clover-buds, school students, seniors, midsters — the people are as varied as the crops (and just as happy!). Produce is currently going to the Food Cupboard and Our Daily Bread. It’s truly wonderful.

The other change that’s got me pretty pleased is the upcoming transit sys-tem redesign and creation of a regional system. Can you imagine taking several disparate transit systems covering a large rural area, and melding them onto one system that actually works?

It’s been a huge job, but come July the new sched-ules, fare structures and buses will hit the road.

Regional travel will be facilitated. Travel within Nelson will be changed, and the inclusion of two smaller (community) buses during lower use times will be welcome. The summer will give us time to tweak schedules, if needed, before the school term begins.

I believe this new system will be welcomed by most users, and I hope it will at-tract new ones. Of course, this change won’t be en-tirely a happy event — no Sunday service, yet.

So it’s spring and change is afoot. And, I know that beneath the snow at my house the tulips and primula are growing. Plus I’ve had a few extra weeks to relax before gardening season starts! So really — it’s not such a bad change, climbing the hill to winter for a bit longer. Most change is that way.

Donna Macdonald is a Nelson city councillor who shares this Wednesday space with her colleagues around the table.

Re: “Capitalism hasn’t de-livered,” Letters, February 20

Are you kidding me? We live at a time when the ratio of rich people — both per capita and quantitatively — has never been larger in the history of the world. � e same can be said of the so-called middle class.

Capitalism — although not in its strictly purest form — is responsible for western soci-ety, especially North Amer-ica, reaching a� uence levels never seen before. Food, clothing, shelter, automobiles, leisure activities, etcetera have never been more acces-sible for those willing to work hard and use the talents they are born with. � ese things couldn’t exist in a socialistic society; not in the quantities,

varieties and a� ordability provided by a free entrepre-neurial society. Invention and innovation thrive under capitalistic principles.

� ere is a mistaken sense of entitlement or utopian ideal placed in Mr. Terral’s understanding of capital-

ism. How can capitalism make promises of “house ownership for all” or “uni-versal health care”? � ese are the fatuous sales pitches from unscrupulous politi-cians. Capitalism is merely a platform on which we practice economic relation-ships. Everything we think we are entitled to has to come from somewhere. If I believe free health care should be a natural right, then I have to believe others must accom-modate. Can others be forced to supply me a home simply because I think that’s fair-ness? If I request some good or service from Mr. Terral, I’m certain he would insist in kind. � at’s capitalism.

Capitalism makes perfect sense

Racism is an easy “ism” to de� ne. Simply put, it is one person or a group of people expressing a feeling of supe-riority over people who are di� erent from them. Racism is learned. No one is born a racist. � e degradation of a certain group of people is taught and accepted by some people who may or may not use violence against the people they consider inferior.

At times, racism can be used on a national scale against another nation or against a certain group of its own citizens. � e action by a nation may or may not involve violence, such as in Nazi Germany, or it may be non-violent oppression.

For example, within a na-tion, an oppressed minority may not be given the right to vote. Or, they may be told where they can and cannot live. Possibly, certain lands may be set aside for this minority, lands determined

by the majority group without any consultation. On these designated lands, the minority group usually su� ers from a lower standard of education than the one enjoyed by the majority. � e government may pass legislation outlawing their language, their reli-gion and their culture. � eir children may be forced to attend schools populated with children from the majority group in society in the hope that they may give up their heritage and become like the rest of society. For those who do attempt to become inte-grated, they still face prejudice in the form of being hired for jobs, or receiving pay equal to that in the rest of society. Also, within the mainstream cul-ture, the minority group may be portrayed in the media and in literature as being unedu-cated, uncivilized, backward, simple, rather than being con-sidered as human beings with the same wants and desires as

the rest of us despite their dif-ference in language, religion, and culture. In addition, they may live in sub-standard housing, be living in constant poverty with little or no hope for self-improvement.

� ey are usually consid-ered by the rest of society as being second-class citizens. In some countries, they may not even be accorded citizenship. In addition, they su� er with sub-standard medical care and their life expectancy is lower than the rest of society. Being a minority, their voting power, if they have any, is so minor that their concerns can easily be dismissed by the elected government. Should they protest, even peacefully, many in society object to their demands.

No, this is not apartheid in South Africa. � is is the treat-ment Canada has meted out to its Native peoples.

RCMP use force in peculiar arrest

Slocan Lake Police Beat

Slocan Lake RCMP used force to remove a duo from their camper van a� er they refused to cooperate with police.

On March 8, at around 10:20 p.m., o� cers tried to stop a camp-er van travelling southbound on Highway 6 near Hills. � e vehicle was driving on the shoulder of the road, obstructing tra� c, and mov-ing at speeds of 30 km/h in an 80 km/h zone, police said. RCMP also noted there was no license plate on the van.

When o� cers attempted to stop the vehicle, it continued on until Rosebery prior to pulling over.

Once stopped, the male driver and female passenger refused to identify themselves to police and were both arrested for obstructing a police o� cer. Additional police attended and had to forcibly remove

both occupants from the vehicle leading to minor injuries of the male suspect and one police o� cer.

� e two were not known to po-lice and determined to be transient.

Once the identities of the indi-viduals was con� rmed, both were released from custody with a re-quirement to attend the Nakusp Provincial Courthouse on April 25.

Police are recommending charg-es of obstructing a police o� cer and resisting arrest against the female passenger. Charges of assaulting a police o� cer, obstructing a police o� cer, and resisting arrest are be-ing recommended against the male driver. Both suspects have also been charged with a number of o� ences under the Motor Vehicle Act.

Police are seeking the public’s assistance in identifying motorists that may have witnessed this in-cident. Please contact the Slocan Lake RCMP at 250-358-2222 with any pertinent information.

Sta� set to launch Nelson’s new OCP

Nelson’s 2013 update to its of-� cial community plan is nearly complete.

� e plan, last revised in 2008, is the long-term guiding document for land use and development in the municipality. City sta� have been working on an update for the past year.

Nelson development manager David Wahn attended a recent spe-cial council meeting to provide an update on the plan’s progress.

“We’ve e� ectively rewritten the whole document,” Wahn said, ex-plaining there was substantial reor-ganization need to group together information that was previously scattered throughout the 100-page � le.

“� e new formatting makes it more accessible, engaging and readable for the public,” Wahn said.

Additionally, the update recog-nizes new planning initiatives un-dertaken by the city since 2008, in-cluding targets for green house gas reductions, the a� ordable housing strategy and active transportation plan, among others.

“� e OCP takes the lo� y goals outlined in those planning docu-ments and drills them down to ac-tions we can take on the ground,” Wahn said, citing for example that the plan encourages higher build-ing density by promoting develop-ment on sub-standard lots within city limits, rather than pushing back city limits to bring in new land.

“Allow denser land use, auto-matically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while expanding city budgets, which are both council

goals,” Wahn said.� e updated OCP will also in-

troduce new regulations around private docks. � e existing plan does not discuss docks, as they are not considered a permitted land use within city boundaries. � e update permits docks in designated areas previously determined by the Sus-tainable Waterfront and Downtown Master Plan.

“� ere are suggestions for how the dock should be designed and the number of docks that should be permitted,” Wahn said.

� e Local Government Act en-courages municipalities to update their o� cial community plan every � ve to 10 years.

A dra� of the updated commu-nity plan was presented to council about a year ago. Since then it has been going through various levels of community consultation.

� e next time the plan returns to council, likely sometime this spring, it will be for initial readings and adoption of the bylaw accept the 2013 update.

Supportive services. Caring communities.

EVERY DAY, Community Social Service workers across B.C. help people deal with life’s challenges.

They make our communities stronger.

But over the last ten years, the sector has suffered from cuts to services,

program closures, growing wait lists and chronic underfunding. Agencies are finding it harder to maintain a stable, professional workforce – the key to quality support and continuity of care.

NewsProject would be phased in

Continued from Page 1their time there.”

He suggested the area could become a commercial hub for all the new high density residential developments going in along the east boarder of Nelson, such as The Grain and Radio 7.

However that portion of the project will come in one of the lat-er phases of the project. The first phase, which Ockeloen hopes to break ground on this year, is limited to construction of five of the original Sorensen triplexes (15 units) along the waterfront, as well as some site access roads, parking and bank stabilization along the water.

Ockeloen stressed that com-mitments made by the previous owner — including donating Red Sands beach to the city to be maintained as a municipal park

and not building on the bluffs overlooking that clothing-option-al beach — would be honoured. As well as using local building materials and labour, and incor-porating public art.

He also wants to add more va-riety in housing styles to break up the solid line of homes originally proposed, which he said would have “created an imposing wall of concrete and garages” for resi-dents that don’t have a lake view.

“I’d like to create pocket neigh-bourhoods on the site, with every home looking onto a green space,” he said.

Ockeloen is now working with city staff to create a rezoning ap-plication for the site, which will be shared with the public at an open house in the coming months.

The drawings for the proposed new Nelson Landing development (top) look sig-nificantly different than the first proposal (bottom).

Couple nabbed for taking it to the street

“Get a room” is the first thought that likely crossed the mind of a Nelson motorist who called in a complaint early Sunday morning.

Just after 2:30 a.m., the Nelson Police Department received a call from a driver who passed by the intersection of Stanley and Victo-ria street. The individual relayed to police that a couple appeared to be engaged in sexual activity on the street.

When officers responded they found the intoxicated couple near-by with “clothing askew.”

“The 26-year-old male from out

of town attempted to hand the of-ficer a $20 as if to offer a bribe,” a police press release stated.

The officer advised the man that his money was better spent on a cab ride to his residence “as he was too intoxicated to remain in pub-lic.” After refusing the wise advice, the man was lodged in police cells until sober.

“The female understood she was drunk and made a bad choice,” the release stated. “She opted to take a taxi home.”

The man involved in the incident was charged under the Liquor Con-trol and Licensing Act. Both were warned regarding indecent acts in public under the Criminal Code.

The Police Beat

Continued from Page 14“I think we have a significant

opportunity with this develop-ment to attract new residents to Nelson,” Ockeloen said. “It will also be a place current residents can move to, to stay in the com-munity, if they are looking for this type of product.”

Nelson Landing is slated for 12.5 acres of former Kootenay For-est Products land and three acres of crown land that still needs to be

acquired by the developer.Councillor Donna Macdonald

asked Ockeloen whether afford-able housing units could be incor-porated into the site.

Ockeloen said the cost of reme-diating the land would be too ex-pensive to justify low-cost housing on the site, but said contributions would be made into the City of Nelson’s affordable housing fund to help subsidize other units in town.

It’s all about texture for today’s hardwood floors

Experts in the hardwood flooring industry are seeing a major shift in the way consumers are now choosing their f loors, as color is no longer k ing. Texture has emerged as the new “color ” when it comes to the driving force behind wood flooring selections.

“For years, color was always the top consideration for people looking for a hardwood floor. But over the last few years, texture has overtaken color as the new driver. The reason behind this movement is that texture stimulates our senses with both tacti le and visual elements,” explained Michel Coll in, Marketing Director of Mercier Wood Flooring, one of North America’s leading hardwood flooring manufacturers.

The latest handscraped and distressed hardwood floors are good examples of how popular textures have become with discerning wood flooring consumers. According to Coll in, there’s is a big demand for textured wood floors across North America, where homeowners are looking to feature the distressed look of barn wood, prominent knots or the natural sculptural and undulating l ines of boards planed the old fashioned way.

“ The texture trend is very hot with homeowners today and we have a feeling it ’s here to stay,” added designer Marie Francois of Dolce Interieur in Montreal.

To keep up with the demand for this growing texture trend in hardwood floors, manufacturers such as Mercier have developed new hardwood series featuring these sought-after tacti le and visual elements.

This year Mercier ’s Nature collection is offering even more textures than in years past, as its new “Pub Series” features hardwood floors that per fectly capture the essence of a well-

worn floor. With names l ike Courvoisier, Spir its, Stout and Malt, the series replicates the unique charm of an I r ish pub where its f loors have seen it al l and l ived to tell the tale.

Mercier ’s “Handscraped” series features a hand-sanded feel that gives the floor deep character. A traditional effect shines though in the beautiful knots, a deeply distinctive touch that ties any room together effor tlessly.

“ When it comes to flooring texture treatments, such as handscraping, they should be considered as ar t forms, t imeless, unique works of ar t tailored to your home,” added Coll in.

Design tip: A rustic scrape will result in a more “distressed” look and is an ideal choice for an active family. A more sculpted floor with minor sur face interruption is considered “classic” and fits per fectly in a contemporary decor.

� e Selkirk College Saints celebrated Saturday night as they took the BC Intercol-legiate Hockey League title in an exciting 3-2 overtime win at the Nelson District Community Complex.

� e Saints notched the championship win against the Simon Fraser Univer-sity Clansmen a� er a bold come-from-behind effort sent them into extra play. Forward Cody Fidgett scored the winning goal unassisted, 3:11 into overtime.

“I can’t even put words to it. It’s probably the biggest goal I’ve ever scored. It’s fan-tastic,” he told the Star a� er the game. “It was a hard-fought comeback.”

SFU was first on the scoreboard with a penalty shot goal by Kale Wild with 4:37 le� in the � rst period. � en, early in the second, the Clansmen made it 2-0 o� a goal by Brenden Silvester from Colton Graf.

Playing at the NDCC due to scheduling con� icts with the KIJHL semi-� nal series opener in Castlegar, the Saints packed the Nelson rink with fans eager to see their team take the best-two- of-three college series.

When Selkirk’s � omas Hardy put his team on the scoreboard with 3:21 le� in the second, the crowd erupt-ed. Mason Spear and Fidgett assisted making it 2-1 at the end of the second.

� e Saints came out hard in the third and it was captain Jordan Wood who scored the huge tying goal o� a pass from assistant captain Logan Proulx midway through the third. With good pressure, the Selkirk team had several more scoring chances that kept the crowd on the edge of their seats. Even up on shots on net, the score was dead-locked at two at the end of regulation play.

About to go into overtime,

Saints assistant coach Jamie Freiss said they let the guys know this was the time to capitalize on the tired SFU defensive line.

“We said let’s take ‘em wide. Let’s make sure we put the pucks on net and sure enough, it went in. Our speed � nally paid o� for us in the end,” he said.

Fidgett’s goal brought down the house with the ec-static Saints bursting to the ice and the crowd cheering

the champions on.Assistant captain Scott

Swiston was thrilled a� er the game.

“� ere’s no better feeling in the world right now. You only really get these oppor-tunities once in a lifetime. � is is the � rst time I’ve won a trophy as big as this. You are just never going to forget it or the people you won it

SportsContinued from Page 16with,” he said. “Start to fin-ish we knew we wanted this more than them.

“We played with a ton of heart and I think we de-served it.”

Goaltending played a huge role in the Saints win with Alex Sirard solid between the pipes. Hard hits and hard work were critical as the BCIHL champions dug in for the win.

On Friday night at the NDCC, the Saints gritted out a 2-0 win

The Saints received out-standing goaltending from Sirard and physically domi-nated the Clansmen on their way to the victory.

Selkirk set the tone early with tenacious work and hard hits in the first 10 min-utes of the opening period. Former Nelson Junior Leaf forward Connor McLaugh-lin had the hit of the night midway through the opening frame when he laid out SFU’s Taylor Swaffield.

Stellar goaltending by both Sirard and SFU starter Graeme Gordon kept both teams off the scoreboard in

the first period. The Saints held the edge in shots 11-7.

The teams kept up their back-and-forth play for most of the second period. With three minutes left in the middle period, SFU had several glorious chances in close but Sirard shut the door with confidence to keep the game scoreless.

Thirty seconds after Si-rard’s heroics, Fidgett got a

piece of a Dylan Smith shot front from the point that fooled Gordon and gave Sel-kirk the 1-0 lead.

The Saints kept coming and with just over a minute left in the period former Bea-ver Valley Nitehawk Spear banked a shot off of Gordon’s leg from behind the net to give Selkirk the 2-0 lead.

The third period was more back-and-forth, but Sirard

stayed strong between the pipes to preserve the shutout.

“I am very proud of every last one of them. They all put in the time. They all worked very hard all year,” said Fre-iss.

“This was our goal right out of training camp and they stayed the course. They followed the program and it paid off for us in the end.”

Robert “Kim” Kratky

Phillip Verigin passed away in the very early hours of Tuesday, March 12, 2013 with his wife at his side at the Kootenay Lake Hospital after a short, valiant fight with cancer. Phillip was born in the small community north of Ymir called Porto Rico on May 23rd 1936 to Nick and Mary Verigin. Phillip was a hard worker all his life starting as a very young lad helping his Dad and Uncle skidding logs down the mountain to make fence posts. During one summer vacation, Phil, at the age 15, got his first job at the emerald mine for the summer and decided that he was now old enough to join the regular work force full time. After many varied career experiences throughout his younger days he finally decided it was time to settle down and met his future wife Barbara French at the skating rink and bowling alley in Nelson. They were married in Nelson on August 8th, 1970. Phil had many job experiences along the way but they always revolved around trucks and equipment, logging industry falling trees, even running a tracked air drill when they were building the Salmo Creston, eventually settling down to working for the Ministry of Highways and later becoming the Yard Foreman at Winlaw.

Phil had many hobbies he was passionate about most of which were outdoor activities. You would often find him down by the creek if not with gold pan in his hands then a fishing rod. The last few years Phil found a new hobby that brought many happy hours to him. He started off by making wooden fishing bubbles, and then decided to make wooden pens. His pen making has been of great pride to all the family and we all carry one.

Phil is predeceased by his parents Nick A. And Mary Verigin, brother Nick, of Salmo, Sisters Anne and Lucy, Nieces Laura and Sandra of Merrit. He is survived by his wife Barbara, daughters Michelle (Chaychana) in Penticton, Heather (Chad) in Salmo, four grandchildren, Sarah, Ty, Olivia and Leah, brother Harry in Salmo, and many cousins and nieces and nephews.

As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, and the Kootenay Lake Hospital Foundation. Arrangements are under the direction of Thompson Funeral Service Ltd. Online condolences may be expressed at www.thompsonfs.ca

Wildcats knocked out of contentionThe West Kootenay Ban-

tam Wildcats gave it a spir-ited effort, but the girls team will not be returning home with a provincial title from the BC Hockey Female Ban-tam Provincials in Vernon.

The team is made up of 13 and 14-year-old girls from around the West Kootenay and includes four Nelson

players — Merissa Dawson, Emma Wheeldon, Haley Elias and Kali Horner.

In the Sunday night open-er against host Vernon, the Wildcats came away with a 3-3 draw thanks to a goal in the dying seconds of the game. Dawson scored one of the Wildcats goals.

In the second game on Monday afternoon, the Juan de Fuca entry peppered the Wildcats net with 40 shots

and came away with a 3-0 victory in what was a physi-cal match.

Needing a win to have any shot at semi-final berth, the Wildcats came up against a tough Tri Cities team. Tri Cities scored three first pe-riod goals and didn’t look back on their way to a 4-1 victory.

The Wildcats will wrap up the tournament on Tuesday afternoon (after Star dead-

line) against Prince George.Though Nelson Minor

Hockey has no teams in this week’s provincials scattered throughout the province, Nelson’s Sawyer Hunt and Tyler Podgorenko are part of the Trail Tier II Midget team which is in action in Kelowna.

Trail lost 7-2 to host West Kelowna in the Sunday opener and 3-1 to Vancou-ver on Monday.

QShould I convert my Variable Rate Mortgage to Fixed Rate?

AIn today’s uncertain economic environment it is very tough to speculate on what the future holds; therefore

the question of converting a variable rate mortgage into a fixed rate mortgage really depends on two things, your risk tolerance and long/short term goals.

If you are having a tough time sleeping at night and believe the Canadian and World economies are in for growth in the near future, it would be best for you to convert now. If you believe we will be in this economic environment for the unforeseen future, you can continue to ride the savings of your variable rate mortgage and stay the course. These strategies are exclusive to your risk tolerance. In regards to your long and short term goals, the big question is cash flow. If you are in a variable rate mortgage your payments are low and the interest you are paying is lower than that of a fixed rate mortgage. If you were to convert your mortgage to a fixed rate this would increase your monthly payment therefore decreasing your monthly cash flow and cost of security.

Given today’s spread between the best variable rate mortgage and the best fixed rate mortgages it makes the most sense to take the security of a fixed rate mortgage if you are buying or renewing. For those variable rate mortgage holders the question of converting your mortgage is something you should be considering. If you want to discuss what would work best for you please don’t hesitate to contact me anytime. I take pride in helping people make informed decisions that fit their specific situation and best of all my services are free!

AIt is Latin for: “Let the Buyer Beware” And perhaps somewhere way back there in your memory from High School Consumer Ed.

Class, you may remember hearing this phrase. This phrase is incredibly powerful when applied to the rather large investment of Real Property. In order for a Buyer to receive compensation from the Seller for a Latent Defect; the Buyer must prove that the Seller intentionally concealed it; therefore proving Fraud. A “Latent Defect” is a fault in the property that could not have been discovered by a reasonably thorough inspection before the sale.There was such a case in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice back in 2010 (Matz v. Copley) where the Buyer claimed that the Seller had deliberately covered up a significant structural defect. There was moisture and mould discovered in the basement behind drywall. There’s a little too much information about this case to write in this little column, however, the long and short of it was: The Seller was able to prove that the drywall existed when they had purchased the property, therefore there was no fraud. Even though the seller had replaced the drywall during the course of ownership in order to access some plumbing behind it that needed work. The judge felt they had a legitimate cause to remove and replace the drywall.It was ruled that: “ A vendor of Real Property does not have an obligation to inform the purchaser about Latent Defects, so long as there is no fraudulent step taken to conceal a defect that would otherwise be visible. Citation: Matz v. Copley, Can Lll-2010 ONSC 5565 Can Lll Richard Hayles, BA, JDUse all of your senses when looking at a property, pay attention to your nose. If you have suspicions about something, check it out. I would even recommend taking a video of the inspection.

QWHY IS BASEMENT FLOODING VERY SERIOUS?

ABesides the inconvenience of the mess and the disruption of your household routine, did you know that frequent occurrences

of basement � ooding can result in long-term damage to the building and contents that may not be covered by insurance. Generally your insurance will not cover you for water damage caused by continuous or repeated seepage or leakage of water or steam from within a plumbing, heating, sprinkler or air conditioning system, or domestic appliance, including but not limited to a waterbed, aquarium. Your insurance also will not respond if water damage is caused by � ood, surface water, spray, waves, tides, tidal waves, ice or waterborne objects. � e water damage must be caused by the sudden and accidental escape of water from a watermain, the sudden and accidental escape of water or steam from within a plumbing, heating, sprinkler, air conditioning system or domestic appliance, which is located inside your dwelling. Basement � ooding problems can be avoided or prevented by checking your downspouts and eavestroughs. Make sure the downspouts extend away from your house so water does not collect next to the basement walls and windows, it should drain away from your house. Clean debris from eavestroughs regularly. If the land around your home slopes in toward the foundation, you want to build up the ground around your home so that the water drains away from your basement walls. Also examine sidewalks, patios, decks and driveways as these can settle over time and cause water to drain back towards your basement walls. Proper drainage helps to reduce the amount of water seepage into your home through basement windows and cracks in your basement walls. To get more information about what is covered under your insurance policy contact RHC Insurance Brokers at any one of our 8 locations.

QWhat are the advantages to Granite countertops?

A1)Durable - Granite Countertops are one of the best types of countertops for any

home. The abuse from children, heat or other elements found in the kitchen or bathroom will not be able to harm your granite countertops. It is very hard to scratch granite and granite will not burn.

2) Uniqueness - Granite Countertops can easily update or freshen the look of any home. Each granite countertop slab is unlike the next. Although there are many granite slabs of the same granite color -- slab color can still vary in pattern, lightness or darkness of color, or veining.

3) Affordable - With us, we are not just a granite countertop installer -- we import, distribute, custom fabricate and install the granite countertops for your kitchen. This entire process cuts out any middle man or subcontractor, allowing us to give you the most discounts on your granite countertops.

4) Resale Value - The economy has forced some homeowners to consider alternate living situations. Those who have decided to sell their homes (and can afford to make upgrades) know that their resale value will greatly increase by installing attractive granite countertops. And for all the reasons listed above, those attempting to buy property are paying close attention to these details as well. In general, this is one home improvement trend that has many different kinds of benefits.

Graduating Leafs blueliner headed to college hockey

Cam Weir’s competitive hock-ey career will continue.

Earlier this week Kamloops’ Thompson Rivers University WolfPack announced Weir will join them on the blueline for the 2013-14 BC Intercollegiate Hockey League season.

Weir, who is originally from Kelowna, played in his last junior hockey game last month when

the Nelson Junior Leafs lost in six games to the Beaver Valley Nitehawks. He had spent the previous two seasons with the KIJHL Princeton Posse.

The six-foot-one, 200 pound defenceman had a goal and 53 penalty minutes in 38 games this season with the Leafs.

“Cam was very steady for us this year,” said Leafs coach Frank Maida. “He was a team leader on and off the ice, he makes a good pass and should do well moving

to the next level.”Weir will be enrolled in cours-

es leading towards a bachelor of business administration degree.

“I was looking at a few schools, but after talking to [head coach] Don [Schulz] and [general man-ager] Chris [Hans], it felt like a great fit committing to Thomp-son Rivers,” said Weir.

“I’m a player who hates to lose. My compete level has always been high and I hope to bring that to the ‘Pack.”

“We are most fortunate to acquire a defenceman of Cam’s calibre,” says Schulz. “He’s a con-sistent performer who can play in all situations. He doesn’t shy away from physicality, is mobile and moves the puck well. Cam’s not a big time point getter, but a dependable D who can play against other team’s top offen-sive players. He’ll fit in nicely with our returning veterans and provide some needed depth at his position.”

QAre you a woman who wants to be able to run, jump and play without being limited by your “weak bladder”?

AUrinary incontinence is quite common in women at any age but more so as we get older. It is also more likely in women a� er

pregnancy, child birth, hysterectomy or a� er menopause. Pregnancy can contribute to the uterus dropping lower in the pelvis causing supporting muscles and fascia to become stretched. A� er childbirth these muscles will likely require some toning and repositioning. Furthermore, frequent sitting while feeding your baby can also cause the position of the pelvis to shi� . When the pelvic bones are rotated posteriorly they can create a ‘tucked tail’ position. When standing, the tucked tail position can cause pressure on the pelvic organs. Consequently this can make it challenging to restrict the � ow of urine while exerting ourselves. Many women also experience symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse which can most o� en be treated naturally with proper diet and postural retraining. Symptoms can include: a pulling down feeling, the need to pee a lot, lower abdominal pain and low back pain. Hysterectomies and pelvic organ ‘li� s’ have become so common but these surgeries are removing a part of our bodies and also create scar tissue which can cause all sorts of future issues. Surgery is a very important part of medicine and is o� en recommended or required but I would encourage all women to explore natural rehabilitation methods � rst. A wealth of knowledge on this matter can be found at www.wholewoman.comIf you can relate to any of the above information or are in need of general postural realignment training then book in for a CHEK postural and wholistic lifestyle assessment to start you on your way to taking control of your body. $200 for 3 hours of information to empower self healing. As well, ongoing group classes can support you while you integrate home exercise programs into your life.Pain does not need to be a part of daily life.Contact Anna today at 551.1370 or check out www.facebook.com/Top� tnesswithAnnafor more information

A� e transition from Winter to Spring brings longer days and warmer temperatures. � ese changes have been said to cause Spring Fever, an a� iction known to cause urges to spring clean your house, excitable behavior

and spontaneous expressions of love. Spring Fever symptoms usually arise from mid-March to mid-April

Scientist think that hormonal changes in the body could cause this unusual behavior. In Winter your body secretes high levels of melatonin, a hormone that governs sleep cycles. As the amount of daily sunlight increases, melatonin levels drop and you experience greater wakefulness. During this period there is an increase in serotonin, a mood elevating neurotransmitter. � is chemical is known to cause excitability and giddiness also known as Spring Fever.

Statistics reveal that nearly half of the citizens living in northern latitudes of Canada and United States experience intense spring fever symptoms. One might experience a boost in energy level and a feeling of overall well-being will creep into your mind and body. Individuals might also experience romance in the air, and daydreaming is on the surge during spring fever.

� ankfully, this type of fever doesn’t require medication. Take advantage of this time and focus on those uncompleted projects around the house, or just enjoy the extra energy and daylight hours doing something good for you.

Are you suffering from Spring Fever?QI’m changing my thoughts and habits to more empowered ones, yet I find all sorts of stuff is coming up. Why?

AThis is highly normal, and nothing to panic about but certainly something to notice and pay attention to. You have spent your life so far thinking

certain thoughts, creating a belief structure and in turn acting it out in your daily habits. Some of these thoughts, behaviours and habits serve you well, others not so much, however, whether they serve you or not, they have become your default settings. They are the ways of feeling, thinking and being that will continually surface, especially in stressful situations, or when you are tired or overwhelmed. So now you have decided to set an intention to make changes in your life, your habits and ways of thinking. This is great and highly positive and you can see that when you begin to move towards this intention and release your old behaviours, thoughts and pattern’s your default settings will most certainly try and rise to the surface. As spring is just around the corner and I have already started mapping out my garden and turning over the dirt, let’s use this analogy. Hold your hand out. In your palm is placed a beautiful sunflower seed and you know that it is going to turn into the most gorgeous, biggest, humongous flower you have ever seen. It will grow and be strong and delight everyone who sees it. You take the seed outside, carefully pick the appropriate spot, make a delicious hole in the warm dirt, pop it in and give it a pat. The sun shines; you water it and tend it, because you can see in your mind’s eye how stunning that flower is going to be. So what’s the first thing that comes up? Did you say Sprout? If you are thinking “the sprout” – NO! The dirt! For the sprout to reach out to the sun it has to push the dirt out of the way. Your default settings are the dirt and most likely becoming very obvious. So don’t run away or panic, just see them for what they are, which is old ways of being and release them. They aren’t good or bad, they served you in some way for some reason. Instead, stay focused on your intention for change and growth and a different way of being and slowly but surely the dirt drops to the side and you as the sunflower, grow, stretch and strengthen into your new habits, and thought patterns and way of showing up. Look at your gorgeous glowing face! You make an incredible sunflower.So go and plant a seed!

QWhat causes Mold?

AThere has been 270 species of mold identified in Canada. Health Canada guidelines recommend that all mold, regardless of species be

cleaned and that the underlying problems which enabled the growth of the mold be dealt with immediately; preventing potential health issues.For mold to exist it needs moisture and organic material. Leaky pipes, roofs, or windows can provide the moisture it takes to start a colony, as well as improper ventilation in attics, kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms.It is possible to clean the mold yourself if the contaminated surface is small. Water and dish soap or hydrogen peroxide and water can be used to treat small areas. Hydrogen peroxide is far more effective in killing mold spores than bleach. If you suspect a mold problem that you cannot solve on your own you should contact a trained Indoor Air Quality Investigator for advice. They will identify areas of concern and make recommendations for improving the situation.To help prevent mold growth in your home:1)Repair basement, roof and pipe leaks as soon as you notice them.2)Always use the kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans to help keep your house dry.3)Clothes dryer hoses need to be properly connected and vented to the outside.4)Properly seal tubs, tub surrounds and sinks to prevent water from getting into the walls.5)If you have a flood or any type of water damage, be sure the flooded area is completely dry within 48 hours.6)The humidity in your home should be around 50% in summer and 30% in winter. A dehumidifier can help reduce the relative humidity if necessary.7)Discard clutter and excess stored material and make sure you have enough clearance from walls to allow for proper air circulation.

Friday’s Puzzle Solved

Get yer chaps on Nelson

Tom Shorthouse re-members an occasion when he and his sister

Sylvia (now Sylvia Crooks), students of Madame Attree, danced between features at the Nelson Civic Theatre. The movie was the 1945 Roy Rog-ers film, Don’t Fence Me In.

“Sylvia and I were splen-didly costumed by our grandmother in white, heav-ily-sequined cowboy attire fashioned from oilcloth and made to resemble leather,” says Tom. “I wore chaps with a fringe, and we both donned straw western hats also painted white. Our black shoes were disguised with oilcloth spats, cut to resemble the boots popularized by Roy Rogers. His hit-parade rendi-tion of Don’t Fence Me In had in fact inspired our latest routine. As soon as The End flashed across the screen, we would be making our appear-ance, slapping our thighs in a simulated gallop.”

The Nelson Civic Theatre is getting gritty with a western-themed weekend March 21 to 23, beginning with the 1964 spaghetti western Fistful of Dollars on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. On Friday and Saturday nights the Oscar-winning release Django Unchained takes the silver screen. Note that Fistful is rated PG, while Django is rated 14A.

We’re thrilled to be able to put these films together in one weekend; Django direc-tor Quentin Tarrantino used

the spaghetti western genre as inspiration for his own film. It ain’t easy to find print films these days, let alone two that relate so well, with the industry set to cease making them altogether this year. So it’s taken the wiles of our film booker in Toronto, Mark Sa-tok, and the movie smarts of board members Jason Asbell and Darryl Santano to put it all together.

We’ve also just secured our Saturday and Sunday mati-nee film, Escape from Planet Earth, starring astronaut Scorch Supernova and a host of blue aliens, sure to make March break-fatigued parents and their kids happy. That’s at 1 p.m.

Meanwhile we continue to raise funds — with your help — for a digital projector and sound system. The commu-nity was challenged to match the $75,000 already raised to reach the $150,000 price

tag by May 1, and I’m happy to report that we now have a little more than $90,000 in the coffers. That’s a great start. To find out how you can contribute go to civictheatre.ca/challenge or call 250-352-5833.

If that phone number is fa-miliar, you’re right: it’s the old phone number from the Civic Theatre’s previous incarna-tion, now hooked up in the office — which is inhabited most days by our newly hired project management team.

Roger Ley, who has been an excellent spokesperson for the theatre from the start, is now officially in charge of fundraising and all things networky. Sue Adam, with a strong background in project management for internation-al companies and local roots that extend from Streetfest back to the early days of Whitewater, is ensuring that we have policies, procedures and best practices firmly in place.

They’re energetic, enthusi-astic, and they do everything short of tapdancing between shows. But with the new Civic Theatre, the truth is that you never quite know what surprises are in store. Better bring your chaps, just in case.
