Greg Garbula, Liberal
I believe I have the experience and personality to be able to understand and convey the issues that concern the mix-ture of people within the region. I have 30 years of experience in the hospital-ity business and have had to ensure the wellbeing and satisfaction of over 1000 people at a time, not including managing staff of over 200. Not all needs and expe-riences are similar, its important to reach the individual cases that fall through the cracks within the system. Already, I have been presented with a number of cir-cumstances where people and businesses need support; these people are frustrated / angry that they are not able to find help with their problems, sometimes complex, sometimes quite simple. They feel their issues are overridden by special interest groups or political pretentiousness, of which does not consider the well being of the very people that they were elected to represent.
Sjeng Derkx, Green
Ive made my living with my hands, as a cabinet maker. I have the callouses to prove it. I learnt the value of hard work and commitment from running my own business, but also from long time community involve-ment. I successfully worked to secure our rail properties, as a local radio show host and to improve our voting system. I was never paid a penny for that. I did it because I cared, and I still care.People recognize me as a tena-cious, hard worker; I dont give up easily. I have cooperated with men and women of all ages, races and political stripes, because that is the way to achieve positive results. I am not a career politician. This is not about me. But as your MLA, your interests will always come before party politics, and I will put my heart and soul into getting our local economy moving again.
Michelle Mungall, NDP
I am passionate about our region and love serving our communities. With seven years experience, I have learned a lot as an elected representa-tive. Every year, I work with hun-dreds of groups and individuals from communities all over the region. Not only has this allowed me to gain a deep understanding of our regions priorities, but it drives me to ensure that our interests are heard in govern-ment. As the youngest woman in the Legislature, Ive stood out as a strong voice for our region, social justice and environmental sustainability.

Water Quality Advisory issued for Riondel water systemThe Regional district
Central Kootenay (RdCK) has issued a WATER QUALITY AdVISORY for users on the Riondel Water System. Recent test-ing shows that current water quality is now FAIR due to
increased seasonal turbidity (cloudiness).
While health risks are considered low, the RdCK and Interior Health rec-ommend that children, the elderly, people with weak-ened immune systems, and
anyone seeking additional protection drink boiled water or a safe alternative until fur-ther notice. For these at-risk populations, water intended for drinking, washing fruits or vegetables, making bev-erages or ice, or brushing
teeth should be boiled for one minute.
If you have any ques-tions please contact the RdCK at 250-352-6665 or check out our website at www.rdck.bc.ca.

On Friday, April 19, close to 100 grade 10, 11, &12 students of Aboriginal ancestry interested in a career in education gathered at LV Rogers Secondary School for a conference.
The presenters were truly inspiring, the Pow Wow danc-ing and drumming was very impressive, and the salmon and buffalo lunch was amaz-ing. Afterwards, 90% of par-ticipants answered yes to the question did the confer-ence help you to consider a career in teaching?
The student participants

Civilians recognized at Nelson Police Departmentby Rory Case
Last Wednesday eve-ning, for the first time, The Nelson Police department held an awards ceremony to recognize not only their own members, but also other courageous and car-ing citizens of the com-munity. The evening was meaningful and at times emotional; saying good-bye to a retired NPd mem-ber, bringing in new ones, and remembering all the
hard work they have done and will continue to do.
Chief Constable Wayne Holland was the master of ceremonies and he kept everyone inter-ested with stories of dedi-cation and good deeds. It was a great opportunity for the NPd and other departments of the city of Nelson to thank each other and extend their gratitude to the civilians that really make a difference.

PoliceNews Emergency 911Non Emergency (250) 354-3919Crime Stoppers 1-800-222-8477Police News: keep your alcohol and your food sealed
The Nelson Police had a busy weekend with 44 calls to service. The majority of these occurred Saturday night. Good spring weather and local events drew people out and with that also came those that needed to drink to have a good time.
The Royal reopened to host an all ages no liquor party Saturday night. Unfortunately, many people felt they needed to drink en route to and outside of the event.
Nelson Police Members were busy with numerous cases of drinking in public, carrying open liquor and minors in possession of liquor throughout the evening. With excessive drinking came the littering of cans and broken bottles in the streets and alleys. One male was caught
urinating in shrubbery beside the roadway.
Tickets were issued in each case where appropriate and the Nelson Police hope this will serve as a deterrent for those that want to take their drinking to the streets.
Fines range from $115 for public intoxication, $230 for consuming or carrying open liquor, to $500 for try-ing to re-enter a bar after being asked to leave.
One person that seemed to have benefitted from the evening was a local bottle picker. She managed to gather two full blue recy-cling bags of cans and bot-tles around the 300 Block Baker St in a short time.
Police were called to the Rosemont area two nights in a row for a report of a large black bear that
has been visiting a tree in a residential backyard. The Nelson Police would like to remind the public to seal and store their household gar-bage appropriately.
Under the City of Nelson Waste Management and Wildlife Attractant Bylaw 3198, Wildlife Attractant means any substance that could be reasonably expected to attract wildlife including but not limited to food products, garbage, pet food, seed, restaurant grease, game meat, or glass or metal wear or any other item having contained food. Contravention of this bylaw could net a homeowner a fine not exceeding $2000.00 dollars. Further information can be found on the City of Nelson Bylaw website or by calling Nelson Bylaw at
250-354-3919.As a background, the fol-
lowing is an excerpt from the Bear Aware, B.C. Ministry of Environment Website:
From 2004 2009 Conservation Officers in British Columbia had to kill, on average, 538 black bears and 37 grizzlies each year because of real or perceived threats to human safety. Most of these bears come into conflict with people because they are allowed to access non-natural food sources. Nelson Police Officers were dispatched to over 20 bear incidents in 2012.
If you come across a bear in the City of Nelson, please contact the Nelson Police or the Conservation Officer at 1-877-952-7277

Owner of the Royal addresses public drinking issueWe were surprised to hear
of the large volume of liquor that was apparently consumed outside last Saturday night. It has come to our attention that an adult was bootlegging liquor and supplying the chil-dren on the streets of Nelson during our event last Saturday, which explains the large num-ber of empties collected.
We think prevention efforts need to occur at the
point of sale. We are taking the following measures to do our part in reducing the quan-tum of underage drinking and littering in our beautiful city of Nelson:
- attendees and their bags will continue to be thor-oughly checked by our secu-rity. Anyone caught trying to sneak liquor into our venue will be reported to the police, have their photograph taken
and be banned for life from The Royal
- we will ensure that any drinking or littering that we observe in our immedi-ate vicinity will likewise be reported to the police
- we will cooperate with police efforts to identify and apprehend the bootlegger(s) and any intermediaries
- we are implementing a mandatory $2 re-entry fee for
anyone wanting to leave the venue during a show and come back in. This will remain in effect until we obtain a liquor license for the premises. This will only apply to individuals attending live music shows and not to people having a meal at our restaurant outside of concert hours.
Sincerely,Luke J. MenkesThe Royal on Baker

Baseboard heating and air ventilation
One of the down sides to electric baseboard heat is the lack of air circula-tion throughout the house. As well as the drawbacks you mention, the lack of air circulation within the build-ing envelope and the lack of fresh air introduction from outside often causes mould and mildew on windowsills
and wall surfaces. There are a couple of
ways to get air moving in a building, but ducts are hard to avoid.
Here are a few ideas. If you live in a two-sto-
rey house with a basement, there is always a stack effect or hot rising air pushing through the highest
ceiling in your home. You can capture this heat at the top of the highest ceiling by installing an extraction fan. Then pump the cap-tured heat back down to the basement or a lower floor through one or two small ducts. Or, consider a combi-nation of short feeder ducts from this fan to interior wall
stud cavities that you have prepared by cutting out the bottom and top plates. This strategy recycles hot air that would be lost through the attic and roof, and it creates airflow throughout the inte-rior building envelope.
See next weeks column for more solutions to this problem.
I have a 10-year-old home heated by electric baseboard. Because of the baseboard heat, there is no ducting in the house. Are there any good options to add energy efficient forced air ventilation without resorting to ripping apart walls and adding ducting?

Red wine and headaches
Some people experi-ence pounding headaches after drinking even a small glass of red wine. These people suffer from a syn-drome called the Red Wine Headache (RWH). The cause of RWH is largely unknown. Three theories on the causes of RWH were discussed in a paper published in the Harvard Health Letters in 2002.
Many people blame
sulfites naturally present in, or added to, red wine (as a preservative) for their head-aches. The FdA estimates that 1% of the population suffers from a sensitivity to sulfites and, as such, wine labels must show whether sulfites are added to warn people with allergies. A sul-fite allergy is not the same as a RWH. A true allergy to sulfites causes wheaziness, not a headache.
Tannins have also been suspected of causing a RWH. Red wine is made from the entire grape, including the skin, which contains tannins.
Tannins cause the release of a neurotransmitter, serotonin, and high levels of serotonin cause headaches. However, tea, soy and chocolate are also high in tannin and few people complain of headaches after ingesting these foods.
Histamines, another con-stituent of the grape skin, may cause RWH by trig-gering an allergic response in people who are deficient in an enzyme called diamine oxidase which normally degrades the histamine. A combination of alcohol and the enzyme deficiency may cause a headache. This
cause is disputed in a study by dr. Kanny and colleagues (2001) which failed to show a correlation between wine intolerance and levels of his-tamines in the wine.
So the debate rages on According to dr. Freitag at the diamond Headache Clinic in Chicago, a good way to pre-vent a RWH is to drink only glass of red wine and then wait 15 minutes. If no reac-tion occurs, then it is prob-ably safe to drink that red wine. However, dont drink too much or youll be suffer-ing from a different kind of headache: a hangover!

Essential First Aid: CPR
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is the most important first aid tech-nique that every pet owner should be comfortable with. Chances are that you will never have to use it, but it will save your pets life if a ball is lodged in his airway.
There are some very basic steps:
STEP 1: RESPONSIVENESSThe first step is making sure
that your pet is truly unresponsive.1.CHECK his breathing by plac-
ing your hand in front of his mouth and nose.
2.CHECK for his heartbeat by placing your ear against the left side of his chest this is the area where his left elbow touches his chest,
Pets - Purely NaturalBy: Dr. Andrew Jones
immediately behind his left armpit.STEP 2: AIRWAYThe second step in CPR is
obtaining a patent airway.1.PULL the tongue out of your
pets mouth, but be careful to not get bitten.
2.STRAIGHTEN the neck by moving the head to be in line with the neck. Do not hyperextend in case of trauma.
3.PERFORM two rescue breaths, by closing the mouth and performing mouth to nose ventila-tions. IF they continue, then proceed to STEP 3, BREATHING.
If there are no breaths, then look into the mouth.
4.VISIBLY inspect the mouth and look down the throat for a foreign body. If you see something, reach into the airway and remove it.
5.IF the airway is still not open, attempt HEIMLICH (shown in follow-ing steps).
6.TURN your pet upside down, with back against your chest.
7.WITH both arms, give sharp thrusts to the abdomen.
8.AFTER 5 thrusts, stop and check to see if the object is visible in the airway. If so remove it and give 2 mouth-to-nose rescue breaths. If the breaths do not go in, repeat HEIMLICH.
STEP 3: BREATHINGAfter achieving a patent airway,
perform RESCUE BREATHING.1.CLOSE your pets mouth
and breathe directly into his nose until his chest expands. If the chest does not expand then go back to STEP 2 AIRWAY.
2.VENTILATE at 15 breaths per minute. One BREATH every 4 seconds.
3.PROCEED to STEP 4 CIRCULATION
STEP 4: CIRCULATION1.ENSURE there are no major
points of bleeding. Control as neces-sary.
2.GENTLY lay your pet on his right side.
3.LOCATE the heart, which is found on the lower half of the chest on the left side, behind the elbow of the front left leg. Place one hand below the heart to support the chest; place the other hand over the heart.
4.COMPRESS the chest 15 times followed by 2 rescue breaths. 3 compressions every 2 seconds. Compress the chest 1/2 inch for small pets and 1 1/2 inches for large pets.
5.EVERY 15 times follow up with 2 rescue breaths.
Continue heart massage com-pressions and the rescue breathing until you hear a heartbeat and feel regular breathing.
Once your pet is breathing and his heart is beating, call your veteri-narian immediately.

Picture the Ocean in Nelson Saturday, May 25, 8 p.m. at Expressions, 554 Ward Street, Nelson. Tickets $15
Picture the Ocean is a trio comprised of Jesse dee, Jacquie B, and Matt Blackie who write and record alter-native-pop, mid-tempo clas-sic rock tunes that appeal to a wide range of listeners. The Canadian-natives are on tour right now and will be stopping by Expressions in Nelson to tantalize the senses.
Picture the Ocean is everything you want it to be and everything you never knew could be. Its an instruction to put your thoughts somewhere else. Its subjective. Its differ-ent for everybody. No one pictures it quite the same. It can be as serene as calm water, and as turbulent as a winter storm. Picture the Ocean conjures the entire spectrum, and embodies the same distinction. Highly visual, highly emotional, and incredibly passionate.

Soulful harmonies, uplifting lyrics and an unique bunch of musicians come together this Friday at the Nelson United Church for A Gathering of Friends, a concert of music thats somewhere between multi-faith gospel, folk-rock, and a musical celebration of liv-ing life on the light side.
Starting with a snappy opening set of traditional
fiddle tunes, the eight musi-cians then soar into a collec-tion of powerful and inspir-ing original songs that have brought audiences to tears, to laughter, up on their feet dancing, or sitting in silent contemplation at every stop on their current tour.
An unusual collec-tion of musical pilgrims, the musicians range in age from 19 to 63 (though most
are in their 20s and 30s). Homesteaders, homeschool-ers, sailors, seekers, and educators, they are all long-term participants in a col-lective spiritual and musical journey that has taken them over several continents and through a wide variety of lifestyles.
They came -- most recently -- from Cortes Island at the north end of
the Georgia Strait, travelling south as far as Vancouver by sailboat, and then taking to the road for tour stops in Vancouver, Seattle, and Tonasket, Washington. The performance at the Nelson United church at 7 pm on Friday, May 10 is the final scheduled event in their spring BC tour. Admission is by donation.

Catch em if you can, Canadas own Smalltown heroes. PHOTO BY RORY CASESmalltown Djs, Pete Emes and Mike Grimes, team up for some small town fans

Charles Ross returns to the Capitol Theatre stage with his tour de force, one person performance of all three of the Lord of the Rings films, representing a massive cast and over 8 hours of film in one hour!

performer Lucas Myers, find another opportunity to bring his second amazing one person performance to the Nelson audience.
Ross, originally from Nelson, has been tour-ing the world with thou-sands of performances in hundreds of cities, across four continents: from off Broadway NYC to the Sydney Opera House, or the West End of London to the sands of dubai . The
worldwide love affair with these Trilogies is phenom-enal and its been a dream come true for Charlie Ross to celebrate that love with the generations of fans around the world and now back in his home town of Nelson. Tickets are $16 and available by calling 250-352-6363 or online at capitoltheatre.bc.ca or at the box office.

Local literary magazine turns sixteen years oldFriday, May 17 at 7:30 p.m., at Nelsons Oxygen Art Centre
A Sweet Sixteen birth-day party is an important milestone for any young person, and even more so for a print literary magazine in these days of electronic publishing. In celebration, eight regional authors will read as part of the Sweet Sixteen birthday celebration for the Queen Citys New Orphic Review. The event
is free (donation appreciat-ed) and open to the public.
I enjoy a great range of writing, and I hope the New Orphic Review reflects this, said editor Ernest Hekkanen, a novelist and poet who has authored 45 books. Over the years, fiction contribu-tions to the magazine have been selected for inclusion in Canadas prestigious
Journey Prize Anthology and the Best American Mystery Stories anthology. The magazines sixteenth issue, compiled by Hekkanen and associate editor Margrith Schraner, a prize-winning short story writer and mem-oirist, will be on sale at the birthday bash.
Joining the editors will be eight West Kootenay con-
tributors to the New Orphic Review who will give brief readings: Jane Byers, Linda Crosfield, Susan Andrews Grace, Sandra Hartline, Linda Hunter (reading on behalf of her late husband, Michael Woligroski), Art Joyce, Ross Klatte, and Tom Wayman.

Youth Choir gives animated performancesSaturday, May 25, 3 shows: 2 p.m., 6 p.m., 8 p.m., Nelson United Church
Sixty-three young Nelson singers have just returned from an inspired weekend at a major music festival and will be per-forming for local audiences on May 25 at the Nelson United Church.
Even those who know Corazn might be startled by the groups dramatic Bollywood song-and-dance rendition of Balleilakka, which provoked an explo-
sive, roaring standing ova-tion at the Rocky Mountain Music Festival in Banff.
Corazn is a Nelson-based auditioned choir directed by Allison Girvan, with singers ranging in age from 13 to 21.
Tickets are $18 adult $12 student, senior or bal-cony seating, available at The Music Store and Otter Books on Baker Street.

I t s M o t h e r s day, quick go out and buy some chocolates and fake p e r f u m e !
Growing up I never did understand the signifi-cance of Mothers day, in fact it was quite painful in trying to figure out how to participate in the ritual. My father and I would take my Mom out for Mothers day breakfast and I would buy some perfume that I never did like the smell of anyway. Even to this day I can smell that perfume and it disgusts me.
There is value in acknowledging your mother. We should treat everyday as Mothers day, Fathers day, Childrens day, Birthdays and Christmas as happening all year long. We tend to forget and take for granted those most important to us. We are the good people we are because of our parents.
So on this Mothers day forget the lousy choc-olates and the smelly per-fume and take the time to write a letter to your mother letting her know that you dont take her for granted and that you like your self and she is respon-sible for that.

Temporary jobs can open doors
by Spencer PollardMy Opinion
Jobs in Canada are going in
favour of those of a tem-porary basis. Full-time or long term jobs still exist but temporary jobs are on the rise, giving many people even more oppor-tunities to further their careers. How is this ben-eficial and how does this benefit you?
Temporary work gives many people jobs, granted
its temporary jobs, but in this rough economy, many of us take what we can get. Temporary jobs can often be a gateway into full-time jobs and eventu-al careers. Some examples of temporary work can be nursing or ground main-tenance workers. These opportunities give those who are needing work, the chance to shine.
Work is hard to come by and many of us need
our chance to do our part as human beings. Opportunities for work are shrinking every day resulting in fewer jobs and more people out of work. Temporary work may not be a permanent solution but it gives you the opportunity to explore more career options and the chance to do some-thing you truly love.

If our country contin-ues spending (importing) more then it sells (exports), a deficit will continue to grow. We need jobs to be kept in Canada for all who want a job at a half decent wage. This way our furture financial situation will be in a better position. The Country that has lots of extra products (especially needed items) to Export will be the one whos future finances will be in good shape.
The world demographics will never pay the debts and we are barely sustainable at that. No population growth, no economic growth, while debts keep piling up.
Jobs are hard to come by in the Kootenays
savIngs and inheri-tance
I have job security, a job that pays well. I feel that because I am willing to work hard and keep my spending under control, a little bit of debt is not too dangerous.
I have learned to live within my means and I budget. I am not driven by Retail Therapy to feel good about myself or the world. I live comfortably within one pension and in a few more months I will have two more pensions start, which will allow me to be able to extend a helping hand to charitable NGO...Feel very blessed.
Why? . . . cause I live simply, not a consumer, dont need all the latest toys, pay off my credit card every month and Im retired!
hope springs eternal...
