The Nelson Road Kings 13th annual Queen City Cruise began Friday night

with a parade, bringing an air of nostalgia to the Heritage City.

On Saturday Baker St. was lined with classic beauties fully waxed and sporting polished chrome.

From antique � re trucks to jeeps to muscle cars and every-thing in between, the impressive car show demonstrated the old adage they don’t make ‘em like they used to.

A� er Saturday’s Poker Run from Nelson to Six Mile, the event concluded with the Roof-top Shaker at the Hume Hotel.

Nelson Road Kings president Jack Chambers said they were “very happy” with this year’s successful show. � e weather

couldn’t have been any better and there were 388 registered cars along with 15 to 20 unreg-istered.

“Having 400 cars in our show is an amazing accomplishment for our club,” said Chambers.

An emotional moment oc-

curred during the trophy presen-tations when one winner broke down as she was announced as a winner. Chambers explained the winning car was built in memory of the woman’s son who passed away a few years ago.

Senior Kootenay Lake school district sta� skipped an emergency meeting at L.V. Rogers Monday night, angering parents, teachers and sta� who are concerned about scheduling “gridlock” that has le� many high school students without the classes they need go-ing into the new school year.

“It’s been chaos,” prin-cipal Tim Huttemann told the approximately 80 people gathered in the school cafeteria. “We’ve combined and chopped, and we’ve stretched our resources as far as we can. I’m not sure what else we can do.”

And though com-munity members have been voicing concerns about the sta� ng situa-tion at L.V. Rogers since May — district sta� met with the parent advisory council at the beginning of the summer — there hasn’t yet been a solution o� ered, and in the mean-time students’ timetables are a mess.

Currently there are 179 pending requests for scheduling changes, only a fraction of which have been addressed.

A number of Grade 9 students have been le� without electives, while Grade 12s have been

turned away from man-datory classes such as English 12 due to space.

“Virtually every class is full with at least 30 stu-dents,” parent advisory council chair Sheri Walsh told the Star. “Many kids can’t get into the courses they selected in April, some of which they need for graduation. � ere are waiting lists for most if not all of the full classes. On Tuesday morning there was a lineup of kids all the way down the hall to get in to see one of the two counsellors; some students, including my daughter in Grade 11, spent the entire morn-ing in the o� ce waiting.”

Part of the problem can be explained by the school’s new scheduling system, which didn’t work as planned and proved to be “ine� cient.” Sta� have been scrambling to come up with useful data so they can tweak the timetable accordingly, but progress has been slow.

Unfortunately, this creates a frustrating sce-nario: while the sched-uling issues need to be addressed in the next “crucial” few days, school o� cials won’t have the number of students and funding amounts for the year � nalized until Sept. 30.

Continued on page 1 When the Star spoke with

superintendent Jeff Jones re-cently he urged parents to be patient and wait until the end of the month for more news, but at the meeting on Monday, parents, teachers and students said by then it will be too late.

“We’re very full, and the fuller we are the fewer options we’ll have,” vice-principal Tim Mushumanski said. “We’re in a situation now where we can’t give students what they want and need.”

Mushumanski distributed statistics they’ve compiled for the current school year, and told those gathered that L.V. Rogers has dropped from 38.7 full-time-equivalent staff to 34.4, while the student numbers have dropped from approximately 720 to 680.

“We could’ve over-predicted back in May and I would’ve been biting my nails until September,” he said.

But teacher Robyn Sheppard believes the issue goes beyond problematic scheduling.

“I’ve never seen it this bad, in my entire career. I’ve got Grade 9s coming up to me and saying they can’t get into the electives they want. It’s worse than it’s ever been. Something’s going on here, and I don’t know what it is yet. We’re changing the whole face of our school. This is Nelson! We need these classes.”

Because less popular classes get the axe in favour of ones that can attract a full roster, Shep-

pard said arts education is suf-fering. Mushumanski told the crowd a number of courses — including Creative Writing 12 — have been cancelled, while others have been combined or rearranged.

“We have been creative with our staffing and our timetable. We have cut admin time, library time, special ed time, learning support time, [aboriginal educa-tion] time, and some counselling time. We have multi-aged our

French Immersion … in order to keep those numbers above 27. We have overloaded Planning 10 classes because there is no legislated limit on those class sizes,” he said.

Currently there are 11 classes without a teacher assigned. They are: Science 10, two classes of Foods 11/12, two classes of Spanish 9/10, Spanish 11, Eng-lish 9, English 10, Communica-tions 12, Sciences Humaines 9, and Sciences Humaines 11.

“We are not sure how we will run all of these classes at this point but we are looking for creative solutions,” said Mushu-manski.

But those present expressed their belief that the real onus is on the higher-ups, and no solution will come without ad-ditional dollars.

“Funding seems to be the only solution to get us out of this,” said parent Bob Hall.

Trustees Curtis Bendig, Bill Maslechko and board chair Le-nora Trenaman were in atten-dance, and assured the parents and those gathered that they’d heard the concerns and would work hard to address them.

“We’ve heard you,” said Tre-naman. “And all of the stories are hitting us in the heart.”

Bendig reminded those pres-ent of the current status of edu-cation funding.

“We’re dealing with a smaller pot, and we’re working with less money and less decision-making power. The same frustrations you’ve been having here, we’ve been having on a much grander scale at the board table.”

The school board was ex-pected to discuss the issue at a meeting last night in Kaslo, past the Star’s deadline.

Facilitator Cathy Scott-May expressed her dismay that dis-trict staff weren’t there to con-tribute to finding a solution.

“I respect them as individu-als, but I do not respect that decision. I think it was disre-spectful to all of us.”

‘Funding seems to be the only solution’

An emergency meeting was held at L.V. Rogers Secondary on Monday night to talk about registration “gridlock” that has left some students without electives while others have found their graduation ambitions in jeopardy. Will Johnson photos

Nelson Star StaffA contractor using an excavator

is believed to have been responsible for rupturing a gas line in the 600 block of Silica St. on Monday that resulted in an evacuation of homes lasting several hours.

Nelson Fire Rescue received multiple calls shortly after 1 p.m. of a natural gas line break.

Crews arrived to find a large vapour cloud coming from the area that had been excavated.

With the help of the police de-partment, the 700 and 800 blocks of Silica St. were evacuated as well as a portion of the 700 block of Victoria St.

Public works employees also re-sponded by setting up barricades for perimeter and traffic control.

One the evacuation was com-pleted, crews prepared fire sup-pression lines.

“Due to the large amount of gas escaping there was concern by the fire department and Fortis that the vapour cloud may ignite,” assistant chief Mike Daloise said in a news release.

Nelson Hydro crews attended and isolated houses identified as a higher risk of providing an igni-tion source. Power was shut off to a small area of Uphill until the leak was stopped.

WorkSafeBC is investigating the cause.

There were no injuries.

Daloise said anyone preparing to dig should first phone BC One Call at 1-800-474-6886) or go on-line at bconecall.ca.

“Nelson Fire Rescue Services thank the multiple agencies that coordinated together to bring this incident to a successful conclu-sion,” he said.

BILL METCALFENelson Star

A conservation officer shot and killed a large adult male black bear near Sixth and Fell streets in Fairview on Friday afternoon. The bear was 40 to 50 feet (12 to 15 m) in a spruce tree in a residential backyard.

“It had been up there since 5 this morning,” conservation officer Nathan Smienk told the Star, “so you have a stressed, food-condi-tioned bear, and that is a recipe for unsafe. The police called us and the homeowner called us as well.”

Smienk said the Conservation Officer Service has received many complaints about bears in that neighbourhood recently, so he as-sumed it was habituated to eating garbage and the large amount of fruit in yards in that part of town.

He said his only options were to shoot the bear or leave it there. He could have tranquilized and trapped it but then he would have had to kill it anyway, because “we do not relocate black bears.”

Smienk said that is because such bears will either return or start the same behaviour in their

new location. He also said with black bears there is “no conserva-tion concern.”

Sgt. Corey Hoy of the Nelson Police Department, who was also on the scene, said that once the bear was shot, it did not fall from the tree, and a Nelson Hydro line truck needed to be called in so workers could release it.

He said he doesn’t consider this incident a problem of the in-dividual homeowner, but it’s the responsibility of the neighbour-hood and the community at large to reduce bear attractants.

CAM FORTEMSKamloops This Week

The small-town girl liked to wear gold rings on one hand, silver on the other. She loved grilled cheese sandwiches, ice water and milk, made great crepes for her parents and played guitar.

The parents of Jennifer Cus-worth, killed and left in a ditch more than 20 years ago, only a few months after graduating from Nelson’s L.V. Rogers sec-ondary, gave a vivid portrait of their daughter in a victim impact statement Thursday at a sentenc-ing hearing for her killer in a Kamloops courtroom.

A jury found Neil Snelson guilty of manslaughter in BC Supreme Court in June.

“We love you and always will,” Jean and Terry Cusworth said in unison at the end of their 20-minute statement to BC Su-preme Court Justice Dev Dley.

“We’ll miss you for the rest of our lives.”

Cusworth was found dead af-

ter attending a Kelowna party in 1993.

Crown lawyer Iain Currie is asking Snelson be sentenced to 15 years in prison, the same sentence he was given after his first trial in 2011. Defence law-yer Richard Fowler argued for a sentence of 10 to 12 years.

Fowler said the 15-year sen-tence proposed by the Crown is fit only if Dley finds beyond a reasonable doubt that Cusworth was killed in connection with a

sexual assault.Jennifer’s parents spoke for

more than 20 minutes about their daughter, reading in part from earlier letters they’d written when police were still looking for a suspect in the cold case. From the prisoner’s box, Snelson appeared to read along and turn pages in the statement.

The couple painted a loving picture of Jennifer, a young col-lege student studying for exams before she was killed.

“God, how I wanted to hold her one more time,” Jean said.

This is the second time Snel-son has been found guilty and sentenced. The earlier verdict was successfully appealed and a new trial ordered after the appeal court found the Crown could not enter as evidence a question police put to him about whether he was ready to plead innocent or guilty.

Snelson’s second trial was held in Kamloops because of the publicity generated by his first trial.

Cusworth was strangled and suffered skull fractures from be-ing struck in the head seven to eight times, a forensic patholo-gist testified during the trial. The Crown tendered evidence show-ing Snelson’s DNA matched se-men found on Cusworth’s body.

Court heard Cusworth and Snelson had been at the same house party the day before her body was found.

A pickup truck similar to Snelson’s was also seen by a witness near where Cusworth’s body was found. Snelson was questioned by police in 1993, but wasn’t charged until detec-tives revisited the investigation in 2009.

Fowler said Snelson’s wife left him after his first conviction. He is estranged from three of his four children, aged 17, 16, 15 and 10.

“Mr. Snelson continues to deny responsibility for the of-fence,” Fowler said.

Snelson will be sentenced at a later date.

Woman rescued in Kokanee Creek ParkA 26-year-old woman sustained head injuries and a fractured pelvis after falling on the old growth trail, about 10 km up Kokanee Creek Road toward Gibson Lake on Sept. 6. Nelson Search and Rescue, along with the Balfour Harrop volunteer fire department and paramedics used an aerial rope system to get the woman across Kokanee Creek and transport her by stretcher to a helicopter for evacuation to hospital. The injured woman and her party were in a closed part of the trail system, but according to a search and rescue news release, they were “conducting themselves appropriately and were able to contact emergency services in a timely manner. They aided greatly in the quick evacuation.” Andy Jones/Nelson Search and Rescue photos

Cst. Drew Turner is a disgrace to the Nelson Police Department and

should be � red forthwith. Or he can do us all a favour and resign.

It’s bad enough that he found it necessary to punch a woman twice — at least once in the face — and showed no remorse, but a� er his astonishing testimony at trial, the community can no longer trust him. And trust is a police o� cer’s greatest and most important asset.

Turner would have us be-lieve a handcu� ed woman who weighs barely more than 100 pounds was about to attack him — he could “see it in her eyes” — and but for his actions, four male o� cers would have been at risk of bodily harm.

He claimed a fellow o� cer who touched his shoulder to calm him down “was not there.”

He explained that after knocking the woman uncon-scious, his comment “� at will shut her up” was an attempt at gallows humour. (Guess you had to be there.)

All preposterous.In convicting him of a single

count of assault, Judge Richard Hewson rejected Turner’s tes-timony and accepted instead the word of three fellow o� -cers, whom we applaud for their forthrightness.

It could not have been easy for Sgt. Jarrett Slomba, Cst. Bill Andreaschuk, and Det.-Cst. Da-vid Laing to testify against their colleague, but we’re grateful they did — and so is the woman Turner hit. She told 103.5 Juice FM that the case ultimately en-hanced her respect for the sys-tem, rather than diminishing it.

Police o� cers have a hard, thankless job at the best of times. Sometimes force is nec-essary in making an arrest. But Turner’s actions and subsequent outrageous explanations are the sort of things that makes the public cynical about the

profession.� e judge has yet to mete

out Turner’s punishment — that will happen Oct. 27 — but we believe he no longer has any business holding a badge in this city. Police o� cers are held to a higher standard of conduct than the general public and for good reason. No one’s perfect, but Turner’s behaviour falls dra-matically short of what citizens expect of their police force.

� e other disturbing part of this case is that the police de-partment kept it secret.

� ey neither announced an investigation into the conduct of one of their own was underway, nor that a charge had been laid. � e police board should adopt a policy where the public is im-mediately advised when an o� -cer is under investigation — and certainly if a criminal charge is approved.

It’s not the � rst time an of-� cer’s conduct has been in ques-tion and the public has not been told. � e following cases involv-ing members of the Nelson Po-lice Department appear on the O� ce of the Police Complaint Commissioner’s website, with-out any names:

• On Feb. 23, 2008 an o� cer was investigated for discredit-able conduct a� er failing to provide a man with access to a lawyer a� er being arrested for being drunk in public. � e of-� cer was required to participate in a “speci� ed program or activ-ity” and given advice on avoid-ing making the mistake again.

• In June 2010, an o� cer disclosed someone’s criminal record to a third party without lawful authority. � e o� cer was verbally reprimanded.

• On March 22, 2011, an of-� cer was accused of neglect of duty a� er arresting a man for drug possession but failing to read him his rights. � e o� cer was reprimanded verbally, told about the absolute necessity of

informing someone of their Charter rights, and advised of the necessity of keeping notes.

• On April 30, 2011, two of-� cers used unnecessary force while booking a man into jail. � is case was reviewed � rst by a sergeant from the Delta Po-lice Department and then by a retired judge. Both concluded the pair was guilty of excessive force.

� e suspect stole a bottle from the liquor store and was arrested soon a� er outside the youth centre. His takedown provoked the complaint, but it was what happened at the police station, recorded on a cell block video, that drew the greatest scrutiny.

One constable grabbed the suspect’s head and neck from behind with both hands, forc-ing him to look forward. � e other then grabbed the man’s head and slammed it onto the booking desk.

� e o� cers were both given verbal reprimands, ordered to review police manuals on ar-rest procedures and use of force, and complete courses in tacti-cal communications and critical incident de-escalation.

We aren’t suggesting these are anything more than isolated incidents — and compared to larger municipal departments, they are very few and far be-tween — but until now the pub-lic hasn’t been aware of them and ought to have been. � e Star accepts its share of the blame for neglecting to check those reports.

� e Nelson Police Depart-ment and its board’s apparent hope that Turner’s case would be dealt with outside the pub-lic eye shakes our faith in them — which is unfortunate, be-cause Turner’s poor example notwithstanding, we still have a high regard for the men and women who protect this community.

� e Harper government has under-mined free press (cut CBC funding, held record low press conferences while only “allowing” pre-approved questions, re-sisted information requests), reduced civil rights with bill C-51(56 per cent of Canadians opposed this), muzzled tax-payer funded scientists and govern-ment employees from speaking without PMO censoring/approval, prorogued government twice to avoid parliamentary process, rammed through omnibus bills with little to no debate, created a hand-book to actively impede parliamentary committee proceedings, been found in contempt of parliament for not disclosing spending details of public money, been convicted of illegal election spending, tampered with elections via robocalls, and created legislation blocking the chief electoral o� cer from educating people to vote. I could go on. All this in a free democracy? Really?

� e incumbent represents a govern-ment that was all too happy to celebrate the glories of the War of 1812 as well as the World War I centennial. Oh, the irony that, while celebrating Canadian soldiers’ sacri� ces to maintain a free, open and democratic Canada, the very same gov-ernment is consolidating power as fast as it can while stripping away and abusing the very processes, principles and ideals those soldiers fought and died for.

I say it again, a vote for David Wilks and the Harper Conservatives is not a vote for democracy! Please, let’s try someone (anyone!) di� erent.

Cottonwood Market stalls are iconic

I read with surprise that the build-ings used at the Cottonwood Market are slated for demolition. Although I am not a resident of the community nor do I know all the facts about this issue, I believe that it would be a shame to lose this iconic piece of Nelson’s heritage.

Having visited Nelson (and the mar-ket) a number of times over the past few years, I, like so many others, am attracted by the character and quirkiness of this mountain community. Held in a natural and welcoming environment, the Cotton-wood Market is one of the most distinc-tive examples of your mountain culture.

To tear down the infrastructure without a plan in place to allow this popular event to continue seems irresponsible and short sighted. Both locals and visitors have reason for concern on this matter.

Living and working in the tourism industry in Ban� , I see � rsthand the value that visitors place on seeking out authen-tic experiences and meeting locals. As a destination, we are constantly developing ways to create meaningful and unique experiences such as this very market that is at risk of disappearing in Nelson. You are fortunate to have this one of a kind experience.

I would encourage Nelson’s city coun-cil to think carefully about all sides to this matter and to avoid rushing into an irreversible decision.

Why buy Mexican cucumbers?

A� er hearing about the recall of cu-cumbers in the big chain grocery stores and seeing a map of all the provinces and states a� ected by this recall, I can’t help but shake my head in disbelief.

Why are people in Canada buying cucumbers from Mexico at this time of the year? � is mass-produced pro-duce, grown in � elds polluted with who-knows-what (I shiver to think about it) is sold while many local growers can’t give away their abundance of cucumbers, squash or apples. � ank heavens we have markets and a store that sell locally grown foods. And at least the food cupboards in Nelson provide locally grown, organic cucumbers grown in people’s own back yards. If you still buy fruits and vegetables at big chain stores right now, give your head a shake too.

Nelson Leafs fall to Chiefs and Ghostriders in season openers


� e new-look Nelson Leafs lost both of their season open-ing games against Kelowna and Fernie last weekend.

� e Kelowna Chiefs won 3-0 Friday in Nelson’s home opener, but head coach David McLellan said it wasn’t as bad an outing as the score indicated consider-ing the team had only one prior practice.

“We played a really tough team,” he said. “We have to re-spect Kelowna — they returned a lot of players [from last sea-son].”

“I think it comes down to a little bit of jitters in the � rst game — a lot of rookies here. One of our rookie defenceman probably made two bad decisions tonight and cost us a goal.”

Added to that, Kelowna’s third goal was an empty netter as the Leafs pulled their goalie with less than two minutes le� .

“As long as we’re battling like we did,” said McLellan, “espe-cially against a team from the [Okanagan division] which is a top division, that was a good game over all.”

McLellan said there were a lot of good signs as well, such as de-fencemen Dash � ompson, who played well for a 16-year-old, and goaltender Everett Yasinski, who made 23 saves.

Other standouts were de-fencemen Maximilan Daer-endinger and Kyle Chernenko� .

“Growing pains” is how the coach summed up the all-rookie defence. “Once we get a more systems and structure in place, I think we’re going to do � ne,” he said.

Local Leafs players are Nel-son’s Sam Weber, Aigne Mc-Geady-Bruce and Nolan Per-

cival; Salmo’s Jordan Davie and Kyle Chernenko� , as well as Ellis Junker,Tanner Costa and Ren Mason of Castlegar.

Returnees from last year in-clude Austin Lindsay, Brendan Smith, Tyler Fyfe and Blair An-drews.

On Saturday the Fernie Ghostriders led 3-1 at the end of the � rst period with two goals by Ty Carron and one by Cole Keebler. Andy Fitzpatrick scored the Leafs’ � rst goal of the season. six and a half minutes in.

� e only goal scored in the second was by Keebler again.

� e Leafs increased the pres-sure in the third resulting in goals by Tanner Costa and Jor-

dan Davie, but the Leafs lost 4-3.McLellan said it was a good

game against a good team, add-ing the Leafs had strong defence.

A bit of coaching during in-termission refocused the Leafs’ defence, reminding them not to chase the play. McLellan said getting them to settle down from “beginners’ jitters” made the dif-

ference as they gained their con-� dence in the third. � e Leafs outshot the Ghostriders 28 to 19 overall. Yasinski made 16 saves for Nelson.

Following the KIJHL’s open-ing weekend, the Leafs � nd themselves in the Murdoch Di-vision basement, while Beaver Valley is on top with two wins.

Espresso takes Gray Creek RegattaThis story appeared in the Star

on Friday, but some of the words were cut off, so we’re printing it again.

Submitted to the Nelson StarAbout 50 sailors on 22 boats

took part in the annual Gray Creek Regatta which was held this year out of the Lakeview Marina.

Five fleets of boats braved the wind and rain which were plenti-ful the first day of the race until the final race which turned into a dreaded “drifter” but was finished by most boats.

On Sunday the wind was blow-ing from the south at 15 to 20 knots which made for an excit-

ing day and a number of cuts and bruises on steep slippery decks.

Several families competed this year on a number of different boats and about 15 sailors were under 19.

This was considered a big suc-cess by organizers who are striving to have this friendly competitive event attract youth and families, though the odd pirate is welcome too.

This was the 41st consecutive year of the modern regatta though the trophy dates from the early 1920s. The regatta is organized by the Kootenay Lake Sailing As-sociation with the family of Kim Deane and sponsored by the Nel-son Brewing Co., Oso Negro Cof-

fee and Cal Renwick.Congratulations to all the crews

on the winning boats and thanks to everyone who came out and the sponsors who supported the event.

Regatta winners:B Fleet of the keelboats and

overall winner: Martin LeMar-quand in Espresso, a Olson 25

Opti fleet: Liam Blackmore Laser fleet: first Alexandra

Deane and Christopher Mountain, second Alexander Mountain and Gavin Deane

Multi Hull fleet: Dave Heath on a Hobie 20

Second Summer Fest sizzlesSubmitted to the Nelson StarThe second annual Kutenai

Summer Fest was a huge success. Hosted by local equestrian

vaulting team Koot-Neigh and held at the Nelson and District Riding Club, the audience and judge Kendel Edmonds were treat-ed to performances of all levels from Tiny Tots five years and up to advanced AA Women’s Canter.

Pairs and team were also show-cased, where two to six athletes

share the horse, as well as routines on a stationary barrel. Participants included 19 local athletes as well as visiting club MountainWind from Colville.

Local talent included Indigo Bo-wick, Ella Gotzy, Noor Lammers, Cloe and Priya Comstock, Emma Lake, Gwen McCrory, Rayne Lo-eppky, Versailles McGeady-Bruce, Ellise Southam, Korynn Weber, Rayna and Richelle Pickering, Isa-bella Grill, Agathe Passaro, Lillian

‘Ignorance is the worst disease’Nelsonite shares diagnosis story at AIDS Walk for Life


It’s not a tragedy, it’s an emergency. That’s how Nelsonite Brad Dearing presented living with HIV after he was diagnosed last year.

Standing before a group ready to walk in support of those living with HIV/AIDS on Saturday, Dearing shared two spoken word poems that illuminated his change in mindset of coping, rather than believing an HIV diagnosis is a death sentence. Instead of mourn, judge and condemn, he suggested showing empathy and support through asking a simple question: what can I do to help?

The 21st annual AIDS Walk for Life, held at Lake-side Park for a change rather than Baker St. was meant to raise awareness and funds to support people in the West Kootenay with HIV/AIDS to pay for their treatment and medical expenses.

They raised just over $12,000 this year, largely thanks to the Kootenay Qigong Wellness Society’s donation of $10,000.

Roughly 73,000 people live with HIV in Canada. The Kootenays have roughly five to 10 per cent of the BC total which in 2012 was 11,700. Approximately one-quarter of Canadians with HIV don’t know they have the disease.

The United Church participated in the walk as did Nelson Grans to Grans. The group also raises funds for grandmothers in Africa who have become the adoptive parents of their grandchildren due to parents dying from AIDS.

Entertainment and a barbecue were provided af-terwards at the Rotary shelter.

The 21st Nelson AIDS Walk for Life, organized by ANKORS, raised $12,000. Tamara Hynd photos

The Cultural Develop-ment Committee, on be-half of the City of Nelson, is inviting applications and nominations for the position of Nelson’s 2016 cultural ambassador in the category of visual arts.

The winner will be announced at the City of Nelson’s annual reception in December. The award comes with a $1,000 hon-orarium.

Applications and nominations should be for professionals, either individuals or groups, working in the field of visual arts. Preference will be given to those who will be showing their work outside of the City limits, in addition to within Nelson.

“The cultural ambas-sador program is enter-ing its eighth year, and the response we’ve had from the community has been tremendous,” says Stephanie Fischer, chair of the Cultural Develop-ment Committee.

“The roster of talented professionals we’ve had representing our city is impressive: musician Bessie Wapp, filmmaker Amy Bohigian, actor Lucas Myers, dancer Hiromoto Ida, author Anne DeGrace, fibre artist Angelika Werth, and the Corazón Youth Choir. It’s a wonderful opportunity for the city

to recognize and reward the exceptional talent we have here.”

The committee es-tablished this honour in recognition of local in-dividual artists, groups or collectives who have achieved a high standard of excellence in their ar-tistic discipline and who are active not only in Nel-son’s cultural community but extend their talents to other communities and countries.

The cultural ambassa-dor is expected to rep-resent and promote the City of Nelson on their travels, increasing the visibility and cultural reputation of Nelson. In return, the cultural am-bassador can use their official designation in their own promotional materials, programs and fundraising.

Deadline for submis-sions is Oct. 16. Please contact Joy Barrett, the City of Nelson’s cultural development officer at [email protected] for an application/nomina-tion form or further in-formation.

The Great Canadian Wholesale Club initiated a fund-raiser in support of Friends of the Family through the President’s Choice Children’s Charity Fund. Tokens were sold in the store and there was strong support from citizens and businesses. The $1,360 raised will help Nelson and Area Friends of the Family achieve its mission to “provide initial monetary aid for travel-related expenses for medical treatment for children stricken with serious illness or injury and their fami-lies.” Pictured are Nelson and Area Friends of the Fam-ily chair Pat Dooley; Marie Labelle, manager John Siray, Darryl Baer, Tammy Marchischuk, and Lorna Staten, a director with Friends of the Family.

Can chiropractic help headaches?

This really depends on the cause of your headaches. There are many cause of headaches

which range from prolonged stress, alcohol, food sensitivities, lack or poor quality of sleep, skipping meals, dehydration, cardiovascular issues, nerve impingement and increased muscle tone. These are called primary headaches. There are also secondary headaches that are symptoms of another disease or illness. This list is extensive so I’ll just mention a few: concussions, brain tumors, meningitis, stroke, intracranial hematomas and glaucoma. Chiropractic would not be effective for these types of headaches. However, your chiropractor can help you determine what type of headache you have and help you to improve your nutrition, correct your spinal alignment to decrease pressure on your nerves, reduce muscle tension, give you proper exercise and nutritional advice, as well as ways to reduce some causes of stress. Chiropractors are also trained to recognize causes of headaches that we can not treat and in those cases we will refer you to another healthcare professional to get the appropriate treatment you need.

Not all debt is created equal… the di� erence lies in how it helps – or hurts – your pursuit of your � nancial goals. Some debt can be seen as an

investment in one’s future:

• Borrowing money to maximize your RRSP contributions.

• Loans with tax-deductible interest to earn investment income.

• Borrowing to acquire an asset that may increase in value, such as your home or a rental property.

• Student loans that enable you to get an education leading to a good career.

However, other types of debt can act as a � scal drag, limiting future opportunities:

• Revolving consumer debt with high rates of interest, such as maintaining balances on credit cards or department store cards.

• Buying something that will depreciate using borrowed funds.

• Cash advances on your credit card. Interest is charged right from the date of your advance.

• Making deferred consumer purchases (i.e. “do not pay until 2016”) where the cost of the item includes � nancing charges.

Ultimately identifying the di� erence between “good debt” and “bad debt” will help you to make smarter decisions when it comes to purchasing. If you require � nancing to purchase something that has potential for appreciation, tax bene� ts or personal growth, go for it. Pay cash for the depreciating assets and material items that are not needed to live.

As a independant mortgage professional, I work for you not the bank and always have YOUR best interest in mind. Talk to me to better understand your borrowing situation and to � nd solutions that � t your needs.

Good Debt versus Bad Debt.

Q What is the Green Home and Energy Show? And are there new rebate programs?

� e term Sandwich Generation is used to describe people who are sandwiched between the demands of caring both for their aging parents and for their own children.

Even though almost all caregivers report that they are happy to provide care, it still has an impact on their physical, emotional and � nancial well-being.

� e Financial costs of care related to caring for a love one can be signi� cant. Some expenses include: Out of pocket expenses-supplies, prescription drugs, transportation and travel.

17% of caregivers spend between $6,000 and $24,000 annually on out of pocket expenses.

Time and Focus away from work can result in reduced income, loss of bene� ts, and loss of pension contribution.

Most caregivers have the greatest demand placed on them during what are normally their peak earning years. Caregivers can su� er time loss, reduced hours, and fewer opportunities for career advancement.

We believe proactive planning and professional advice go hand in hand. We can help you manage the stresses of care giving either now or in the future.

What are some ways I can introduce more mindfulness into my life?

� ere are two common misconceptions about mindfulness – that you need to do it for 30

minutes a day and that you need to be sitting still. A longer, more systematic type of practice, such as mindfulness meditation, has loads of bene� ts. But, so do brief moments. Short interruptions of mindfulness in the busyness of our lives give us the same bene� ts as a longer practice, such as improved mood and physical health and a decrease in symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. For those of us who cannot commit to that much time per day and/or for those of us whose only moment to sit still is when we collapse into bed, there is promise. You can be mindful while you are eating, while you are walking, working out, sitting, talking, cooking, gardening, kayaking, etc. It is all about stopping for a moment, pressing the pause button, slowing it down, and taking a moment to be present.

Nelson Hakomi will be hosting another introduction to this method, which mindfulness is a main part of. Please visit the website below for more information.

In short, you won’t know until you try.

Culturally, we’re forever in search of the “magic bullet”. (Coined by Paul Elrich, the father of chemotherapy, this term referred to finding the right chemical combination to eradicate any given disease). Despite its being out of date and seriously limited in regards to chronic pain, we tenaciously cling to this concept. We won’t let it rest and insist on a fix all, right now.

(Here comes the tough-love speech!) Clinging to this idea of a magical cure often hinders our ability to get better. When things don’t meet our unreasonable expectations we can become discouraged, sometimes giving up altogether. Instead of picturing health as the unattainable, over-glorified golden chalice on a pedestal, imagine your idea of perfect health as a puzzle laid out before you. Massage therapy (and every other means of therapy) is just one of those puzzle pieces-- until you make that initial attempt to fit your pieces together, the puzzle will remain unsolved.

What Should I consider as a Single Home Buyer?Q

ROSLING REAL ESTATE

AFor most Canadians, buying a home is the most signi� cant � nancial investment they will ever make, and perhaps even more so for singles

who are making the transition on their own.What might your future hold? Your � rst home can provide you with equity to purchase your next home or it can be kept as an investment.Your needs may change in the future, so keep in mind what might be suitable & an easy re-sale.Get pre-approved for a mortgage. A pre-approval will let single home buyers know where they stand � nancially while informing the mortgage company that they are ready to buy. Additionally, this step will demonstrate to everyone involved in the purchase that the home buyer is serious and well quali� ed.Location, location, location. � e golden rule of real estate applies to single home buyers as well. Factors such as proximity to work, amenities, family & friends are o� en at the top of most people’s list. Ask your REALTORwhich areas of town are most sought a� er and best for purchasing & how many days on market a property takes to sell on average.Plan ahead for maintenance fees. Owning a home is a rewarding experience. However, being the only person with a set of house keys also means being the only person responsible for maintenance.

Is there more to yoga than physical postures?

Absolutely! The aspect of yoga that is highly visible and accessible today in our corner of the world is physical or postural

practice. There is an entire tapestry of human history, philosophy, and geography that surrounds this tiny bit of yoga that we are familiar with. Threads from these histories, philosophies, and parts of the world have woven together over centuries of practice and study. People have agreed and disagreed about as many elements of yoga as I can name and then some!

A common way of understanding the broad scope of yoga practice is called the eight-limbed path, written about centuries ago by a sage named Patanjali. Of these eight limbs, physical postures are one. This eight-limbed path has been interpreted through the lens of many times, places, and people. It is meant to guide us in a full-life practice towards the heart of our own lives and the heart of life in the universe. To learn more about the eight-limbed path and how it can be interpreted for our time and our place, please join me October 5, 5:30-7:30pm, at Selkirk College Silver King.

Can chiropractic help headaches?

This really depends on the cause of your headaches. There are many cause of headaches

which range from prolonged stress, alcohol, food sensitivities, lack or poor quality of sleep, skipping meals, dehydration, cardiovascular issues, nerve impingement and increased muscle tone. These are called primary headaches. There are also secondary headaches that are symptoms of another disease or illness. This list is extensive so I’ll just mention a few: concussions, brain tumors, meningitis, stroke, intracranial hematomas and glaucoma. Chiropractic would not be effective for these types of headaches. However, your chiropractor can help you determine what type of headache you have and help you to improve your nutrition, correct your spinal alignment to decrease pressure on your nerves, reduce muscle tension, give you proper exercise and nutritional advice, as well as ways to reduce some causes of stress. Chiropractors are also trained to recognize causes of headaches that we can not treat and in those cases we will refer you to another healthcare professional to get the appropriate treatment you need.

Not all debt is created equal… the di� erence lies in how it helps – or hurts – your pursuit of your � nancial goals. Some debt can be seen as an

investment in one’s future:

• Borrowing money to maximize your RRSP contributions.

• Loans with tax-deductible interest to earn investment income.

• Borrowing to acquire an asset that may increase in value, such as your home or a rental property.

• Student loans that enable you to get an education leading to a good career.

However, other types of debt can act as a � scal drag, limiting future opportunities:

• Revolving consumer debt with high rates of interest, such as maintaining balances on credit cards or department store cards.

• Buying something that will depreciate using borrowed funds.

• Cash advances on your credit card. Interest is charged right from the date of your advance.

• Making deferred consumer purchases (i.e. “do not pay until 2016”) where the cost of the item includes � nancing charges.

Ultimately identifying the di� erence between “good debt” and “bad debt” will help you to make smarter decisions when it comes to purchasing. If you require � nancing to purchase something that has potential for appreciation, tax bene� ts or personal growth, go for it. Pay cash for the depreciating assets and material items that are not needed to live.

As a independant mortgage professional, I work for you not the bank and always have YOUR best interest in mind. Talk to me to better understand your borrowing situation and to � nd solutions that � t your needs.

Good Debt versus Bad Debt.

Q What is the Green Home and Energy Show? And are there new rebate programs?

� e term Sandwich Generation is used to describe people who are sandwiched between the demands of caring both for their aging parents and for their own children.

Even though almost all caregivers report that they are happy to provide care, it still has an impact on their physical, emotional and � nancial well-being.

� e Financial costs of care related to caring for a love one can be signi� cant. Some expenses include: Out of pocket expenses-supplies, prescription drugs, transportation and travel.

17% of caregivers spend between $6,000 and $24,000 annually on out of pocket expenses.

Time and Focus away from work can result in reduced income, loss of bene� ts, and loss of pension contribution.

Most caregivers have the greatest demand placed on them during what are normally their peak earning years. Caregivers can su� er time loss, reduced hours, and fewer opportunities for career advancement.

We believe proactive planning and professional advice go hand in hand. We can help you manage the stresses of care giving either now or in the future.

What are some ways I can introduce more mindfulness into my life?

� ere are two common misconceptions about mindfulness – that you need to do it for 30

minutes a day and that you need to be sitting still. A longer, more systematic type of practice, such as mindfulness meditation, has loads of bene� ts. But, so do brief moments. Short interruptions of mindfulness in the busyness of our lives give us the same bene� ts as a longer practice, such as improved mood and physical health and a decrease in symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. For those of us who cannot commit to that much time per day and/or for those of us whose only moment to sit still is when we collapse into bed, there is promise. You can be mindful while you are eating, while you are walking, working out, sitting, talking, cooking, gardening, kayaking, etc. It is all about stopping for a moment, pressing the pause button, slowing it down, and taking a moment to be present.

Nelson Hakomi will be hosting another introduction to this method, which mindfulness is a main part of. Please visit the website below for more information.

In short, you won’t know until you try.

Culturally, we’re forever in search of the “magic bullet”. (Coined by Paul Elrich, the father of chemotherapy, this term referred to finding the right chemical combination to eradicate any given disease). Despite its being out of date and seriously limited in regards to chronic pain, we tenaciously cling to this concept. We won’t let it rest and insist on a fix all, right now.

(Here comes the tough-love speech!) Clinging to this idea of a magical cure often hinders our ability to get better. When things don’t meet our unreasonable expectations we can become discouraged, sometimes giving up altogether. Instead of picturing health as the unattainable, over-glorified golden chalice on a pedestal, imagine your idea of perfect health as a puzzle laid out before you. Massage therapy (and every other means of therapy) is just one of those puzzle pieces-- until you make that initial attempt to fit your pieces together, the puzzle will remain unsolved.

What Should I consider as a Single Home Buyer?Q

ROSLING REAL ESTATE

AFor most Canadians, buying a home is the most signi� cant � nancial investment they will ever make, and perhaps even more so for singles

who are making the transition on their own.What might your future hold? Your � rst home can provide you with equity to purchase your next home or it can be kept as an investment.Your needs may change in the future, so keep in mind what might be suitable & an easy re-sale.Get pre-approved for a mortgage. A pre-approval will let single home buyers know where they stand � nancially while informing the mortgage company that they are ready to buy. Additionally, this step will demonstrate to everyone involved in the purchase that the home buyer is serious and well quali� ed.Location, location, location. � e golden rule of real estate applies to single home buyers as well. Factors such as proximity to work, amenities, family & friends are o� en at the top of most people’s list. Ask your REALTORwhich areas of town are most sought a� er and best for purchasing & how many days on market a property takes to sell on average.Plan ahead for maintenance fees. Owning a home is a rewarding experience. However, being the only person with a set of house keys also means being the only person responsible for maintenance. If purchasing a town home or condo, review the minutes of the meetings for the past two years and � nd out what is in the contingency fund for repairs and upcoming improvements.Consider resale value and longevity. Purchasing a home has historically been a great long-term investment. However, there are many reasons single home buyers may need to move, such as relocating for a job or a lifestyle change. � erefore, it is important to think about the length of time that the home will be owned and also consider the resale value of prospective properties during the search.

My daughter started Grade 1 last week, and I’m re-lieved to now be past that

� rst few days of school. It was full of lovely things — her eagerness to see her friends again, have a new teacher and classroom, and learn some pretty exciting new things — but I also found it an unexpected struggle to get back into the swing of things. We’re out of practice, and need to get back into the habit of getting everyone out the door in the morning, every morning.

Habits. � ey help and hinder us, and we all have them. � ey keep us moving and can be downright ruts. But the best way to start a good habit is simple: do it once. And then do it again and again.

When I was a kid, at the begin-ning of every school year my mum would sit the four of us down at the kitchen table and we would decide what activities we would take on for the semester, outside of school.

� e goal was to plan extra-curric-ulars and classes, while coordinating rides and child-minding, but most importantly, we had to commit to the things we chose to do. And by committing, the habits began to form. I have sung in choirs all my life because of the commitment I made to music as a kid.

September was the de facto new year for us, and that has also stuck with me. I do my biggest house cleans, paper � ling and year-long

planning in September, and along with it comes the process to build new habits for myself and my fam-ily. � is is the time when I con-sider everything from ski passes to educational opportunities, and of course, cultural fare as well.

Continuing education, theatre subscriptions, early-bird ski passes, weekly movie outings, church years, school years — they all start right about now. While each of these things ful� ll an educational or in-spirational need, the true value of building these processes — these cultural habits — is in the things they give us that are harder to quantify.

Building community and con-necting with others is basic to hu-man nature, and it is innately ful� ll-ing. When we do these things with

our kids, we are training them to forge their own healthy and ful� lling lives. Even if they don’t choose the same things when they grow up, they will choose their own, based on a knowledge that cultural habits make them feel connected and happy.

Making an e� ort to build good cultural habits is even more impor-tant now than ever. We are in a time when so much social interaction can be relegated to social media, so planning to go outside (or res-cue our gazes from the glare of the smartphone, as the case may be) to meet up with some real people to do something together is critical to our individual health and well-being, and the continuing development of community. It guards against isolation and ensures quality of life.

� ere is no shortage of tremen-dous opportunity to build good cultural habits in Nelson, and cel-ebrations throughout the year that invite people to experience culture for the � rst or the 50th time.

� is year I am also looking for-ward to Culture Days (Sept. 25-27), a chance to experience something artistic in free, hands-on, creative, and interactive ways, and invit-ing you to consider trying it again sometime. Maybe once anyway. And then perhaps again, and again.

� e All-On-4 (All-On-Four) Dental Implant pro-cedure is a dental implant technique originally devel-oped in order to help edentulous patients with severe bone loss at the posterior areas of the jaw to attain the bene� ts of implant supported dentures.

� e All-On-Four Dental Implants technique can o� er the bene� ts of having implant supported bridges or dentures to patients who su� er with poorly � tting dentures or long time denture wearers continue to loose bone in the areas where teeth are missing. In the past, these patients were told they did not have enough bone to hold implants.

� e All-on-4 technique requires the placement of 4 to 6 dental implants all in the anterior portion of the jaw where the jaw bone has usually the best density and volume. In order to achieve better support the 2 implants towards the back of the jaw are placed at a high angle so that they can take advantage of the better bone quality at the front of jaw.

The All-on-4 Dental Implants Procedure in sum-mary includes• Diagnostic phase (x-rays / CT scan) to determine if All-on-4 implants are suitable• Preparation of a surgical template prior to dental implant surgery• Teeth extraction (if required) and dental implant post placement• Placement of the prosthetic restoration on the dental implant posts

Bene� ts of All-on-4 Dental Implants• All-on-4 provide a solution for patients with very poor bone condition• they are an alternative lower cost solution instead of larger scale bone grafting (even if possible)• fewer implants can be used, lowering the cost of the overall treatment• it is an immediate load technique that can shorten treatment time• their placement is usually completed in a single appointment with patients leaving with teeth � xed in place.

Third annual green home show comingSubmitted to the Nelson StarEnergy: we all use it. Find-

ing ways to use less of it and use it more efficiently is what you stand to gain at the third an-nual Nelson Green Home and Energy Show.

Sustainable and conventional building specialists will be on hand to help you explore the world of green building and upgrading.

This free event, sponsored by Nelson Hydro’s EcoSave program, the West Kootenay EcoSociety and Columbia Basin Trust, takes place at the Pres-tige Lakeside Resort on Tuesday, Sept. 22 from 6:30 to 9 p.m.

“The last two years we have had over 300 come out to learn about greener options for build-ing, renovating and improving energy efficiency,” says EcoSave program coordinator Carmen Proctor. “Last year we added electric transportation and this year we are adding vendor pre-sentations to the event.”

This event will give locals an opportunity to speak with experts and professionals in a trade show style venue and enter to win lots of prizes. Here are a few highlights of the show:

• Electric bike and car ven-dors and several ambassadors who own and operate a variety

of electric bikes and cars.• Natural home builders, heat

pump and geothermal experts, LED lighting, Passiv Haus, Solar, FortisBC Gas and Electric, and much more.

• A tiny house will be on dis-play for people to walk through.

• EcoSave Program: learn how to access energy assessments, rebates and on-bill financing, and get on the interest list for the proposed Community Solar Garden.

• City of Nelson water supply and conservation: learn about the current water situation and how you can help.

“Energy retrofits is one of the

most efficient ways to do this,” Proctor says. “Increase your insulation, upgrade your space and water heating and seal-up your home by weatherizing. The EcoSave program helps Nelson Hydro’s customers do this through energy assessments with access to rebates.”

The grand door prize this year will be a $1,000 off of a Pedego electric bike of your choice, from Voltage Bikes.

“The whole basis of the show,” Proctor explains, “is to bring people out to see the local op-tions that there are for making greener choices, for buildings and transportation.”

Jack moved to the Kootenay area to work in Forestry. As a longtime member of the Nelson Rod & Gun Club, he was instrumental in starting the Big Horn Sheep feeding program on the Kootenay

ass and was an accomplished ri eman, remaining active until he suffered a stroke on August 16, 2015.

He is survived by his sister, Gladys Floyd of Grand Forks, BC, son Glen, daughter Roseanne, and step-daughter Robin; also six grandchildren.Jack was predeceased by his brother James (Jim) and his son William.

A Celebration of Life will be held at the Nelson Rod & Gun Club Hall, 801 Railway Street, Nelson, BC, on September 20, 2015 at 2 pm.

Sadly the family of Peter Bilinski, of Nelson, wishes to announce his

passing at Kootenay Lake Hospital on Tuesday, September 8, 2015,

blessed with 85 years of life.

Peter was born in Fisher Branch, Manitoba on December 10, 1929 to parents Mary and Joseph Bilinski. He enjoyed hunting, fi shing and ATVing. Pete especially loved spending time with his family over the dinner table telling endless jokes. He also enjoyed having coff ee with his buddies at A&W on Sunday mornings.

Pete was predeceased by his sister Jean Zahariuk and brothers Mike and Frank.

Left to mourn his loss is his loving wife of 35 years Leona; son Loren (Loretta) of Red Deer, Alberta; daughter Debbie (Rolf Kortegaard) of Nelson; step-son Bradley Hryniuk of Langley; step-daughter Cheryl (Allen) McLeod of Nelson; grandchildren Taylor and Zach; step-grandchildren Kyle, Nick and Jordan and the mother of his children Marlene (Allan) Hughes.

Th e family wishes to extend special thanks to Dr. Reinecke and Dr. Malpass and the nurses and staff of the 3rd fl oor of Kootenay Lake Hospital for their care.

What do comedian Lu-cas Myers, Shambhala Music Festival found-

er Jimmy Bundschuh and local dance troupe the Showcats have in common?

All of them will be guests on the first episode of The LineUp, a new Internet television show that

aims to celebrate Kootenay culture.Filmed at Selkirk College’s

Shambhala Hall and hosted by Jenna Raider, the show grew out of IMTV — a project filmed lived at Spiritbar for three seasons. Now being launched with an Indiegogo campaign, the show is set to air its first episode on Sept. 25.

“My personal goal is to share what an amazing place it is we live

in and to introduce the talent here to the biggest viewing audience possible,” host Jenna Raider told the Star.

“There are so many people do-ing so many amazing things in this area, and I want The LineUp to be the rooftop where we shout those accomplishments.”

Continued from page 22� e creative team behind the

show includes Raider, Blair Alt-man, Robin Phelan, Kamala Mel-zack and Shane Hainsworth. � e team plans to use Selkirk College student volunteers to � lm the episodes, giving them invaluable experience they wouldn’t get oth-erwise. � ey also have a number of other community members help-ing out in areas of design, editing and social media.

“When I was in the media pro-gram I volunteered for absolutely everything I could, because I knew that the best experience you could get was hands-on,” said Altman.

Hainsworth will direct the show, and will help bring in Sel-kirk students from the digital arts program.

“We are hoping the community and beyond can see the value in this project and help us to develop a sustainable vision that will boost the visibility of Nelson, the Koo-tenays, and the people who live and create here,” Hainsworth said. “� e support thus far is unbeliev-able. Our gratitude is immeasur-able.”

Raider said the � rst episode will be an exciting introduction

to the arts community, and it only seemed appropriate to begin with Shambhala Music Festival’s founder.

“Jimmy Bundschuh is the founder and donor of the Hall, and I’ve even worked for him but I’ve never been able to sit down and properly ask him about his story,” said Raider.

“He’s a quiet, humble guy and I’m looking forward to asking him ‘how did it all happen?’ I want to hear about his life and his family.”

(Bundschuh recently became a father with his partner Jenna Arpita.)

� at will be followed by a dis-cussion about Lucas Myers’ up-coming show Campground: A Murder Mystery in the Woods.

“We’re going to get a little taste, a little preview,” said Raider. “He’s been a loyal supporter and guest over the years.”

And the night will be wrapped up with a performance from Erin � omson and the Showcats, who will do a burlesque routine.

“� ere will be skits, surprises, ladies dancing — all kinds of stu� ,” said Raider. “I’m so excited to be a part of it all and I’m ready to make � e LineUp a viable opportunity for everyone involved.”

She describes it as “a daytime show meets a late night show with Kootenay content.”

� e Indiegogo campaign is at-tempting to raise $10,000.

To be a member of the live stu-dio audience tickets are $10 at the door or $7 for students. Doors will open at 7:30 p.m. and the show will be from 8 to 10 p.m.

� e episodes will air live at thel-ineup.tv, and then will be posted on YouTube within a few weeks. � e show will also be broken down into individual segments so the artists involved can share their scenes on social media.
