It’s the Baker Street shuffleBy Rory Case
It’s the Baker street shuffle again this spring as businesses bounce around from various locations. still eagle is moving after 22 years on Ward street, to take over 476 Baker street, filling the space kootenai Moon once occupied. Moving into the still eagle is yet to be determined. kootenai Moon, who has moved three times since it began operation, will be moving down to Front street.
lonnie’s lingerie unfortunately is no longer in the spot of 488 Baker street with no sign of it coming back. however, on June 1 you can expect to see the shuffle contin-ue with cotton’s moving in to set-up shop. taking over cotton’s existing space
will be Maple rose, coming from the far end of Baker street (this may be a never ending story), and Maple rose’s location has no new occupants, and is looking for renters.
lilikoi on Baker street is closed down after 6 solid years of business. the owner has decided to close doors and no longer have a physi-cal retail location. Word on the street is a crafts store is shuffling into place at 351 Baker street.
Annie’s Boutique, originally from 402 Baker street, has expanded and moved to a larger location. You can find them down where strutter’s styles used to be at 601 Front street. strutter’s has shifted a few blocks over, also to accom-modate their growing busi-
ness, to 901 Front street. Annie’s previous space on Baker street is unoccupied at the moment and looking for renters.
the old Daily News building has a few new occupants including the Pearkes and Fernandez lawyers office and the
chop shop, but still has other spaces for up for rent. Also, just down the block is the savoy building which remains empty and looking for activity.
For now this is where the story ends, as the shuffle is a known, ongoing event here in Nelson. stay tuned!

Friday, May 10 at 11:30 a.m., the Nelson Fire Department responded to a report that the exterior of a building was on fire. Both on duty members responded immediately along with the Fire chief and 2 additional members responding from home.
Upon arrival of the first crew, it appeared the fire was knocked down by the building tenant. the first arriving crew’s primary objective was to determine if there was any fire exten-sion to other parts of the building. evaluation of the building with the thermal imaging camera indicated that fire extension to the attic space was underway. crews
quickly hit the roofline with foam and water. crews then gained access to the attic space and confirmed that the fire extension had been sup-pressed
the fire appears to have originated in the cedar trees decorating the exterior of the building. cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Nelson Fire rescue would like to remind the public of the fire hazard that ornamental conifer trees present to structures. For more information on how you can protect your home you can call the fire hall @ 250-352-3103 or visit https://www.firesmartcanada.ca/

City of Nelson’s new Official Community Plan now onlineWeighing in at a whop-
ping 180 pages—the com-bined 36-month effort of over 100 volunteers and city staff—it’s being called a major milestone, both on account of its sheer accomplishment, and what it means to the city of Nelson’s future.
Made official this past Monday night, the city’s newly revised official community Plan (ocP)
was adopted as Bylaw 3247 by Mayor John Dooley and city council.
the ocP is the city’s core planning document, incorporating months of thor-ough work undertaken since 2010—including a close look at the city’s vision, goals, objectives and policies for the next 27 years, as part of the city of Nelson’s sustainable Path to 2040 program.
the effort doesn’t end
here though. the next steps for the
city includes developing a comprehensive imple-mentation, monitoring and reporting strategy—to ensure the ocP’s pub-licly driven guidelines are achieved over time—as well as beginning an update of the city’s primary zon-ing guidelines, its land Use regulation Bylaw.
Mayor Dooley says
combined, the formidable work on the ocP review and plans for an overhaul of the land Use regulation Bylaw, are proof of the city’s leadership in the areas of community planning and sustainability amongst com-munities across Bc.
Full details on the new ocP are available at www.nelson.ca/ocp.

Police News: pyramid scam fraud alert, witnesses neededPyramid Scam Alert:
Women’s Circle: on Tuesday, May 14 at approx-imately 10 p.m., the Nelson Police received a report of a Pyramid scam occurring in the Nelson area. the scam is targeting single mothers and is operating under the name, the Women’s circle.
the Nelson Police would like to warn citizens of the following:
Simply by virtue of participating in a pyramid scheme a person is guilty of a Federal Offence under Section 206(1)(e) of the Canadian Criminal Code.
In the current scam, the victim was to produce $5000 cash to enter the pyramid and promised a $40,000 return once they are able to recruit others. the victim signs it over as a gift in kind. this transaction makes the fraud very hard to prove and the monies nearly impossible to recover.
the Nelson Police would like to remind the public that any offer that sounds too good to be true should be viewed as a possible scam and inves-tigated prior to turning over funds, account information or personal information of any kind.
the Nelson police are still investigating this mat-ter and anyone with infor-mation, please contact cst. lisa schmidtke, and refer to Nelson Police File #13-1947.
If you are unsure or ques-tion the validity, please contact your local Police Department or refer to the Government of canada Anti-Fraud centre at:

On Tuesday, May 14, at approximately 10 p.m., the Nelson Police received a report of Mischief at the corner of hendryx street and Vernon street. A lamp standard, at that location, had been hit by an unknown object, causing the base to crack and the device to lean over in a precarious posi-tion. the situation caused an immediate concern for public safety as live wires were left exposed and the surround-ing area possibly charged by electricity. thanks to the immediate report by an alert citizen, the Nelson Police Department, Nelson Fire Department, Nelson hydro, and Nelson Public Works were all required to ensure the scene was contained and the matter was resolved and the area made safe. the damages incurred are estimated to be over $3000.
Due to evidence obtained at the scene, the matter is being investigated as a hit and run investigation and the Nelson Police are requesting any possible witnesses or any-one with relevant information in relation to this file to contact the Nelson Police Department non-emergency line at 250-354-3919 and refer to Nelson Police File #13-1948.
In the early hours of Friday, May 10, a male called 911 advising he was being chased by a man with gun at lakeside Park. Upon arrival at the soccer fields, police located an agitated 29 year old male. the male, heavily under the influence of cocaine he advised he had just injected, was certain he was being followed by a gang with fire arms. During the
conversation and attempts to calm the male, the male reached into his jacket pocket which contained an extended utility knife. the knife was recovered by the constable before the male could access it, however the constable did suffer a small cut to his finger as a result. Members searched the soccer fields after the male was in custody and located a blood filled syringe and other drug paraphernalia used by the male just prior to his call-ing 911. the male was trans-ported to NPD gaol due to his drug induced state and it was confirmed that there was no gang nor firearm issues but rather drug use issues.
On Friday May 10 at 11:40 p.m. staff at Finley’s Pub called to report a cus-tomer was refusing to leave as requested. Members arrived to find out the male had left already, knowing police were coming. A few minutes’ later members were still in the area and noted the male walking back and began to harass the door staff. What he failed to notice was the police offi-cer on the corner watching him. he was escorted away from the business and given an option to end his evening by going to his home or face arrest for public intoxication. the male decided he was not willing to go home, or to iden-tify himself as required. he was lodged into cells until sober.
Later the same night Finley’s staff called 911 to report an intoxicated male fighting other customers. Nelson Police members raced down and found that staff, assisted by other patrons had
the male held down. the male struggled with police while being taken out and transported to jail for the night. It appears the 37 year old local male was celebrat-ing a birthday and had con-sumed too much liquor. he began harassing other patrons and when someone finally objected he started to fight. he was released when sober and charges of assault are being contemplated.
On Saturday night at 12:30 a.m. the Nelson Police received a 911 call from a res-idence in uphill. only yelling could be heard in the back-ground. Members went to the address where an intoxicated male and a female were out back arguing with each other and yelling to an apparent 3rd party to come back. Nelson Police members discovered that the male that had fled prior to their arrival was known to them and bound by numer-ous conditions from previ-ous criminal charges. these include remaining in his resi-dence at night and abstaining from liquor and street drugs. he was found later when he called for an ambulance at a downtown pay phone. he was arrested and appeared in court in Nelson Monday to answer to the charges.
Police are investigat-ing a break-in that occured between May 3 and 6 at the Nelson hydro Power Plant at 5010 Blewett road. locks were cut and the thieves stole a significant amount of cop-per wiring along with other accessories. the file is under investigation.

The Valley Vendettas and the Babes of Brutality battle it out on Saturday, May 11
West kootenay roller Derby is off the hook this season, if last night is any indication. the Valley Vendettas took home their first win ever against a league veteran team, the Babes of Brutality, while the rossland trail roller Girls (rtrG) kept it clean and blew past their sis-ter team, the Dam city rollers.
the night kicked off with a square-up between the Dams and the newly-formed rtrG. the Dams, as always, brought hilarity to their entrance by skat-
ing out with beer cups in hand while their coaches held beer kegs overhead. the entertainment contin-ued on the track with a hard-fought game and fol-lowed with derby love in the beer garden.
At half time West kootenay roller Derby presented the Nelson and Districts Womens centre with a cheque for $200. they plan to make monthly donations to community organizations a regular part of the season.

Home&Garden
Baseboard heating and air ventilation
Install an interval timer that is programmed with two four-hour on-cycles. Wire the interval timer to at least one bathroom exhaust fan. I recommend a 90 or 110 cFM fan with a one-sone rating for a three-bed-room home. then install a four-inch sheet-metal duct through the exterior base-ment wall to a closet, cup-board, or under a stairwell (to temper the cold air). If you want to get fancy, you can install a motorized damper on this pipe and
interconnect the motorized damper to the timer on the exhaust fan.
If you install a motor-ized damper, there is no need to run the duct to a closet.
When the fan comes on, the damper opens and out-side air is pulled through the house to the exhaust fan. or without the damper, the air is pulled in passively to the tempering zone (closet etc.) and throughout the house to the fan.
the third option also involves ducts, but these
ducts are often small and easily retrofitted into exist-ing buildings. heat recovery ventilators (hrVs) can be purchased in a wide range of sizes and prices. the amount and size of duct-ing varies significantly, depending on the size of the unit you choose and the sophistication of the system. Generally, the larger units are more effective. But any amount of air exchange will make a noticeable differ-ence in your home.
hrVs are my first choice for the problems you
have mentioned. Be careful in your selec-
tion. there are dozens of brands and sizes to choose from. Before selecting yours, do some research. If you select an “off the shelf” generic hrV start by calcu-lating the cubic volume of air in your home (length x width x height of all rooms including basement area). otherwise, seek the advice of a heating contractor. their expertise often ensures that you get the best and most effective system for your particular situation.
Last week we addressed a simple solution that incorporated a small duct.Another alternative has been dubbed “the poor man’s ventilation system.”
It installs simply but does not recover heat.Home Front by Bill Lynch, Paul Muntak & Steve Cannon

Cottonwood Community Market opens for the seasonSaturday, May 18, 9:30 a.m.-3 p.m. at Cottonwood Falls Park in Nelson
Market goers will find everything from bedding plants to locally grown produce, delicious ready to eat foods to organic meat and eggs, handmade artisan gifts to locally made body care products. the mix of drop-in vendors and full-season vendors make for an exciting shopping experi-ence that is a different every week. live music for the
opening celebrations will be provided by local favourites Morien Jones from 10 a.m. to noon and rob Funk from noon to 2 p.m.
the West kootenay ecosociety encourages cus-tomers to leave their cars at home and walk to the mar-ket. those who must drive can find early bird parking next to the market site, but by mid-day it is advised to
park at the foot of Baker street and walk the 2 blocks to the market.
“As our climate and our global trading system become more uncertain, a strong local manufacturing and agriculture network is essential for sustaining our long-term regional ser-vice and food needs,” said Jesse Woodward, Markets Director at the West
kootenay ecosociety. “local public markets like cottonwood community Market create more stable and secure local liveli-hoods as well as access to unique local products and food.”
the market happens every saturday through october 26.

ever wonder how scien-tists keep track of wildlife? A local company founded by Dr. David Paetkau is using state-of-the-art tech-nology to help answer this and other wildlife ques-tions. I met with candace harris, a project man-ager at Wildlife Genetics International (WGI) who explained some of the work that she, and the rest of the staff at WGI (four of whom
are lVr graduates) do in the laboratory. Although the lab works on various mammals, including wolverine, deer and elk, candace told me about their work on several bear projects.
typically, WGI receives bear hair samples collected at hair traps set-up by scientists out in the field. these hair samples are processed to extract the DNA using a DNA extraction kit that separates the DNA from the rest of the cell using special solutions and membranes the purified
DNA is then amplified using a polymerase chain reaction (Pcr), a method of making many copies of a segment of DNA, and sequenced at sev-eral locations. A database is used to analyze the sequenc-es and allows Dr. Paetkau and his team to determine the type of bear that visited the trap (grizzly or black), its sex, and assign an individual genetic identity to each bear. In this way, Dr. Paetkau can determine how many bears have visited a trap and, with data from hair traps at
other locations, even track the movement of individual bears over their territory.
one of the local proj-ects WGI has been involved in revealed that highway 3A limits the movement of female grizzly bears and has, essentially, created geo-graphically isolated bear populations on either side of the highway in the salmo-Nelson valley. this infor-mation could now be used for establishing conserva-tion efforts to maintain these small grizzly populations.

Local students learn forestry in Mexicostudents from selkirk
college’s Forest technology Program recently traveled to Mexico to learn about the area’s unique forests and how local community members work together to manage them.
eleven students, along with faculty instructors carol Andrews and Jesper Nielsen, spent 11 days in the small town of capulalpam de Mendez in the sierra Norte Mountains of southern Mexico. capulalpam is rich in pine and pine-oak for-ests and has a history of
resource exploitation, but in the late 1990’s, the commu-nity gained increasing con-trol of its forests and now works together to manage them.
“It was really eye-open-ing to see such a different approach to forestry,” said student Nick rothenburger. stefanie Bulmer, another student on the trip, said, “It will definitely influence future management deci-sions that I make in my forestry career.”

Citizen scientists needed to monitor Kootenay Lakethe Friends of kootenay lake
are working with citizen-scientists and marinas to monitor the water quality of kootenay lake.
the program has a two pronged approach. there are 15 people on the lake that are taking weekly temperature and water clarity readings from 15 dif-ferent sites. In addition, the organization is conducting a more intensive monitor-ing program on the West Arm where they monitor by boat 12 times between April-october for the following:
• chlorophyll a • turbidity • total Phosphorus • Dissolved Phosphorus • total Nitrogen • Nitrate + Nitrite • Ammonia • Fecal coliform • total kjeldahl Nitrogen • organic Nitrogen • temperature • Dissolved oxygen • Water clarity the three year program is designed
to collect important base-line informa-tion and to encourage a broader and deeper understanding the lake’s eco-system.
the Friends of kootenay lake are looking for volunteers to get involved with the program whether it is taking weekly temperature readings off the end of your dock, taking water clarity read-ings from your boat, or joining others out on a chartered boat for a day to try
your hand at water quality monitoring. Get involved with the lake you
love by contacting our program man-ager at: [email protected] or at 250-777-2955.

Explore the origins of matter with MorganWednesday, June 5, 7:30 p.m. at Expressions, 554 Ward Street, Nelsonby Robin Murray
Nelson’s own Morgan Dehnel, who holds a Ph.D in Accelerator Physics, will present a multi media interactive exploration into the origins of matter: the higgs Particle. the presentation will take an hour with discussion afterwards.
called the “God Particle” by some, the higgs bosun was first pro-posed by P.W. higgs in his paper “Broken symmetries and the Masses of Gauge Bosons” published in the journal Physical review letters in 1964.
the theory presented the idea of
an undiscovered particle that was a fundemental building block of the universe. It wasn’t until 2012 that sci-entists felt they had credible evidence to support its existence.
Dehnel, owns and operates his Nelson-based buiness Dehnel – Particle Accelerator components and engineering, Inc. (D-Pace), which custom designs and produces ion beam transport equipment (a.k.a. “beam-lines”) and ion source systems for par-ticle accelerators, as well as manufac-turing and selling trIUMF licensed accelerator technology equipment.
he is also one of the express Update’s Dr. science contributors.

philthy dance machinefirst outdoor music event of the season
local music producers and DJ’s, the Philthkids, organized this area’s first outdoor dance event of the season. on saturday, May 11, the Birchbank picin-ic area (located between castlegar and trail) was stacked with big bass and a full roster of DJ’s for an
all-night dance-camp shindig. the location was superb; grassy field
for playing ball, horseshoe pit, big ol’BBQ, and cov-ered seating area - which later turned into a dance floor. the night was a suc-cess with fun had by all!
the Philthkids, original-ly from toronto, are known for their unique sounds often dubbed as ghetto-space party
music, influenced from the 90s Jungle movement. they recently launched their own label Philthtrax, which will expose artists alike and their all-new original jungle-juke hybrid tracks, which will certainly propel their ever-evolving music careers into a fruitful future. Find the Philthkids opening for kastle at the spirit Bar next Friday, May
24, and killing it through-out the summer at such festivals as Bass coast (Merritt Bc), shambhala (salmo Bc), and summer circus Fest (oregon).

The wait is over! Nelson gets own sculpture walkNorth America’s Best
little Arts town is about to go public with an extraor-dinary show of support for the city’s cultural tourism sector and its on-going economic development efforts.
Beginning two weeks ago, city of Nelson Public Works crews began install-ing seven sculptures made of everything from bronze to stone to recycled pipe and glass, in locations
stretching from Nelson’s new railtown District to the shores along lakeside Park.
Barrett adds that the sculpture program has been incredibly cost effective, with five of the sculptures leased, one purchased, and another one donated, all for a total of just over $20,000 — a tenth of the cost of out-right purchasing the art.

who now directs her atten-tion to investigating chang-es in earth’s life-support systems.
recent grants from silverton, slocan and New Denver, under the columbia Basin trust’s community Initiatives Program, have bolstered the event by offer-ing youth scholarships for writers between 15 and 30 years of age.
registration deadline is May 24 for the convergence Weekend, which is limited to 25 participants. cost of the weekend, including all meals, is $350. More infor-mation, including registra-tion procedure, is available at www.heartsrest.com/con-vergence/convergence-writ-ers-retreat/

Dancers can get ready to swing their partner to the upbeat, backwoods fid-dling of the Wild canadians this saturday, May 18. the group, which features three fiddles, accordion, mandolin and guitar, will be playing and calling old-time contra dances.

water. Almost 2 decades later, they are still traveling and playing music together, at home on cortes Island, where they are a local dance favou-rite, or when sailing the salish sea on their wooden ketch.
No dance experience is required, and people are welcome to just come and listen to some infectiously fun traditional fiddle music. Admission is $8 for adults and $5 for children. BYo water and indoor dancing shoes.

InMemory
there is one winner and two losers. While Michelle Mungall, NDP has won the right to represent the area of Nelson-creston in our provincial govern-ment, it’s obvious that
sjeng Derkx, Green Party and Greg Garbula, liberal Party care a great deal about this place and the people that live here. I certainly hope and am confident they both will find on-going ways to work together with all of us to create our community.
our party-political system has a positive and negative sides. on the positive side, the parties offer tre-mendous resources in research and supportive services. A party can help define, with clarity, a particular can-didates position. on the negative side, the candidate may end up being
more of a representative of the party to the people rather than a representa-tive of the people to the party.
In order for our elected officials to be good representatives they must know what we want. While we would like them to be mind readers, it’s not in their job description. therefore, write letters, participate in public meetings, and answer surveys. If you see your politician on the street, that means they are fair game. tell them what you think.
the people of the West kootenays are very opinionated. We often have conflicts and find it hard to come to agreements. No one is more impor-tant than anyone else.
Michelle Mungall has a to rep-resent the people that voted for her, and the people that did not vote for her. her challenge is to represent everyone.

Internet Leaks and The Public Perception
by Spencer Pollardmy opinion
Internet leaks are a dime a dozen now a days, but are they really
leaks or is there something more to this? For some of you less tech savvy types let me explain what an internet leak is. An internet leak is when someone’s confidential infor-mation (whether is be a document or any other form of file) is released on the internet without the original creator’s consent.
All leaks aren’t the same how-ever. some are done by people who have received the file by legal means
then release it illegally some time later but it could also be used to promote the work in question. Many albums by artists have been prema-turely released and have been said to have been “leaks”. Why do they do this? By doing this they get more publicity and more publicity gener-ally equals more sales.
leaks aren’t all they appear to be. they can be both a boon as well as damaging to an artist. take that in consideration the next time you acquire something early and think of the impact it may have.

important to celebrate this spec-tacular place on the water
gilbert and sullivan light opera, why? Fun, love the music, other G&S festivals well attended
nelson is a a very musical town. Lots of musicians and CJLY
Food , the other venues are well represented and we certainly don’t need more transients...
this survey fails to recognize Market Fest and Keep the Beat as a Festivals we already have in Nelson.Another would be great also
marijuana festival, because that’s the main feature of Nelson
Summer festival season is upon us and Nelson doesn’t have its own festival, unlike neighbouring towns of Kaslo and Salmo.
So what kind of festival would you like to see here, if any, and why?
None 17.6%
people love to eat good food and listen to good music..would increase the number of tourists visiting our town
Yoga & Healing Arts is what our town is about. There is a group of us already working to try to put some-thing together for 2014. Thinking of Local Talent and of “Ringers” to make it come alive
growing up in Nelson. I can recall some of the recent annual festi-vals such as Sno’fest which competed with Castlegar’s Sunfest. There was the annual Streetfest in Nelson for quite a while. Today, Nelson seems to be emerging as an arts, culture, including food, and music centre. Why not expand on the success of the Wednesdays Market on Baker to also include all of the concepts of previ-ous festivals then combine it as one new super annual festival? How about being bold with this and envision entire downtown core (Victoria St, Herridge Lane (Kootenay St to Josephine St), Baker St (from Kootenay Street to Hendryx St) Vernon (between Ward St to Hendryx St) being transformed into a huge hub of celebrations? It would be like Disneyland overnight but in Nelson’s style of arts galleries or sales, music, food fairs, family games includ-ing competitions, street performers so on... for 3-4 days? It would be a huge draw of tourists and put Nelson on the map for sure. Truckloads of tourism dollars would be appreciated by all sec-tors for sure. People will come because where else could you have a festival that covers all broads of the population? You would have non arts groups still coming up and having great time in trying out food fairs or family competi-tions or watching street perfomers etc. Seems to be a win-win to everyone.

when I used to visit Nelson I always ended up with an amazing appetite. My husband and I would visit the Co-op and just feel so inspired. We would say, “I want to live here!” I love that we have such good quality food and to celebrate the diversity and creative ways we put that food together would be so fun! Plus, there would have to be something in it for everyone - so the arts and film and children - it could be far reaching
none, Nelson already has more ‘fes-tival-like’ events during the year than all the communities in the Central/West Kootenays put together
there isn’t an actual folk music festival anywhere in the Kootenays
bring back streetfest, it was fun and brought people to our city many of whom came back to vacation or live
none, there are already so many festivals happening in this are and limited resources to go around. We have lots, lets focus our energies on getting Drs to stay in Nelson per-haps.
nelsonites love to dance!whY not!we need to promote the value of
our lakes.
