CommunityNewsTransition Nelson offers free Good Neighbour mediator training
Transition Nelson Society announced that the Nelson Good Neighbour Program will launch this Spring. In March, there will be a medi-ation training course to sup-port this program through Selkirk College.
The program’s purpose is to strengthen our social fabric and reduce demand on municipal resources. Volunteer mediators will be available to help neighbours resolve disputes and build
relationships in an empow-ering, confidential, and non-adversarial setting. The pro-gram also aims to highlight the ways that neighbourhood helps individuals to recog-nize and value each other’s needs.
The program is recruit-ing 16 volunteers to take the initial three-day training March 30, 31 and April 1st at no charge. There will be a minimum commitment to provide at least one media-
tion and attend one meeting per month when required, for at least one year. Individuals will be supported with a mentor accompanying them on their first call out, and work in teams of two, as well as attend de-brief-ing sessions. Trainees will participate in designing the logistics of the program and respond to requests for medi-ation from fellow Nelsonites. Community members will be invited to contact the
program for assistance, or they may be referred by city agencies or other organiza-tions.
For more information about the NELSON GOOD NEIGHBOUR PROGRAM or to download an applica-tion for the training, would-be mediators must go to www.transitionnelson.org and click on “Nelson Good Neighbour Program”. The DEADLINE for applications is February 3, 2012

If you have lived through a summer in Nelson, you have probably seen and heard many thun-derstorms. You are much less likely, however, to see one during the winter months. Although thunder-storms occur year-round, most thunderstorms occur in June, July and August and the fewest occur in December, January and February. The reason that
How come I never hear thunder or see lightning during a winter storm?
thunderstorms occur so infre-quently during the winter is because the conditions that cause storm clouds to form are absent. A thunder cloud forms only when three con-ditions are met: moisture, atmospheric instability and a so-called “lifting mechanism”, such as a mountain range or frontal system that causes the warm air to rise. As moist warm air rises away from the ground it cools, condenses and develops an electrical charge across the top and bottom of the cloud. Although it is not
exactly clear how it develops, this electrical charge probably forms because of the quickly rising air currents. In the winter, the conditions are dif-ferent than in the summer; the air is more stable and dry and storm clouds are less like-ly to form. However, win-ter storms, especially those involving a heavy snowfall do sometimes come with a bang of thunder and lightning. These types of storms are appropriately called a thun-dersnow. Thundersnows are more common where there
is more moisture, such as near the Great Lakes or on the East or West coasts, or where there is a “lifting” force, for example near the Rocky Mountains. In the prairies, where there are no mountains, no great lakes and therefore no quickly rising air, it is very rare to have a winter thunders-now. Amazingly enough, even though winter thun-dersnows are rare, people have been killed by a light-ning strike during winter storms!

Homelessness is a topic in the news, and on our streets. Now, award-winning Nelson author Cyndi Sand-Eveland has taken it into the pages of her new novel for children, A Tinfoil Sky, published this month by Tundra Books.
At the heart of the story is 12-year-old Mel, for whom home is a constantly shifting concept as she and her mother cope with past and present demons. When custody is awarded to Mel’s bitter, angry grandmother, Mel hopes for sanctuary, but finds it instead in the library. A growing friend-

Currently being deliberat-ed on is the proposed Enbridge pipeline, which would run from the notoriously destruc-tive Alberta oil sands, to the lush and biologically diverse BC coast. Home to the world’s only Spirit bears, black bears that possess a recessive gene causing their fur to be white, this particular portion of pris-tine wilderness, located near Kitimat BC, will be absurdly vulnerable to environmental catastrophe should the pipe-line burst or an oil tanker crash in the area. One of the greatest dangers in this oily equation is the convoluted and often foggy route through which the full tankers must travel, an area that resulted in the unfor-
tunate sinking of the Queen of the North ferry, a much smaller vessel than the super-tankers that may travel the very same waterway. Another disturbing notion is that in the event of oil spilling from a ship, the Enbridge Company would not be liable for the cleanup, leaving BC taxpay-ers stuck with the bill, which would no doubt be enormous. It would seem as though the money gained from this risky pipeline could likely end up only paying for a portion of the problems it creates and it appears unfathomably and utterly foolish that this gam-ble of a project be undertaken when our very future is what’s at stake.

Dear Editor, On page two of the
Express News Update Jan 13 issue, the persons caught for the destruc-tion of school property (School bus in Salmo) were labelled as mischief
In the early 1970’s the Trudeau government, in an effort to lend reasonability to the issue of legalization of marijuana consump-tion, instituted the LeDain Commission. After exhaus-tive study and research they concluded that Canada’s policy at that time needed to change and become more liberalized. Since then there have been numerous studies done since then about mari-juana’s dangers and benefits.
The federal Liberal party suffered tremendous political loss in the last election. They recently announced a new agenda for the party in an effort to regain their political losses. One of these policy shifts was the platform that marijuana needed to be legal-ized and regulated. This is the first time any of the major political parties has come out in such an overt fashion. The
Liberals made this statement based on a perception of what the majority of Canada wants.
Legalizing marijuana and regulating its use does not mean that its use is being encouraged. By legalizing and regulating marijuana, many more resources would be available for discouraging its use through education and information. This is the only way of successfully reducing the use of marijuana. People will take drugs whether they are legal or not. We can point to how education has affect-ed cigarette consumption and reduced that behaviour.
While the Liberals have taken this issue on, because of its health aspects it should be taken on by all politi-cal parties. The legalization of marijuana should not be a legal issue, but a health issue.
Legalize marijuana use

inMemory
Irene passed away peacefully on Wednesday at Jubilee Manor at the age of 95. Irene was born in Nelson to Lucas and Eustachia Grodzki.. She was predeceased by her husband, Primo (Bimbo), her children, Lenny and Donna Truant, and her grandson, Michael Frei, her brothers, Len and Art Grodzki, her sister Victoria Grizzelle (Grodzki), and her nephew, Rick Grodzki. She is survived by a grand-son, Shane Frei, nieces, Judy Cary (Grodzki), and Joan Grodzki, her sis-ter-in-law, Colleen Grodzki, her grand-niece, Kerri Grodzki, and grandneph-ews, Jon and Mark Edmunds, Glover Cary, and Ryan Tedford (Grodzki), and seven great-grand nieces and nephews - she will be missed.
Irene grew up and went to school in Nelson. As kids you could always find her and her brothers either on the lake or climbing up Elephant Mountain, as that was their playground. Soon after graduating high school, Irene went to Vancouver and successfully trained and worked as a Registered Nurse in the lower mainland. When she married in 1948 she moved to Natal, and later to Creston, where her and her husband lived for over 30 years. She came back to Nelson in 1985.
Irene loved being with her family and her friends, she had a generous and loving spirit, and she always welcomed
you with her loving smile. She will be remembered for her kindness toward others, her witty humor and love for chocolate. She took whatever life pre-sented with grace and dignity.
Her family would like to express their sincere thanks and appreciation for the support and care given by Broader Horizons, where she looked forward to getting together everyday with the staff and the volunteers, and the good friends she made there, to the staff at Mountain Lake Assisted Living for their support, and to the staff at Jubilee Manor for their love and care during her stay with them. A huge thanks to Dr. Bridger (whom she loved dearly), for his con-tinuing care and compassion over the many years as her doctor.
As one of her friends from Broader Horizons used to sing to her every after-noon when she left for home, “Irene Goodnight, Irene Goodnight .”
She will be laid to rest in Creston in the spring.
As an expression of sympathy fam-ily & friends may make donations to Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation 300 - 1090 West Pender Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 2N7 www.cbcf.org/bcyukon.
Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Thompson Funeral Service Ltd. On-line condolence may be expressed at www.thompsonfs.ca
