Man rescued

from Kokanee

CreekIn an effort to save a dog

from rushing waters, local gets in a tough spot

and crews called in to pull him out of icy creek

A Nelson man who tried to save a friend’s dog from Ko-kanee Creek was himself res-cued Sunday after two hours in the water, perched on a log.

RCMP say around 2 p.m. the man, 45, was on the old growth trail accessible off Kokanee Gla-cier Road, when his friend’s Pomeranian poodle fell off a bridge.

He entered the creek to go af-ter the dog but was swept down-stream.

“Despite the extreme current, the man miraculously managed to pull himself up onto a log,” Staff Sgt. Dan Seibel says.

NewsOur History

Chinese monument unveiledAn inscribed rock monument

commemorating the historic contribution of Nelson’s

Chinese community was dedicated Sunday afternoon before a large crowd.

The rock at the corner of Hall and Vernon streets, near the former entrance to the city’s Chinatown district, was the brainchild of local resident Claus Lao Schunke, who lamented the lack of official recog-nition of the city’s Chinese pioneers. He secured funding from the city and Columbia Basin Trust to erect the monument.

Schunke, mayor John Dooley, and Cameron Mah, whose family has lived in Nelson for six genera-tions, spoke ahead of the unveiling. Mah then lit incense at the base of the marker, which came from Tom Cherry’s rock farm in Rosemont, and was inscribed by local stonema-son John McKinnon.

The monument contains a few lines from a Chinese poem, which translated reads: “Hard is the journey/Hard is the journey/So many turns/And now where am I.” Schunke feels this well expresses the Chinese experience in Nelson.

The English text reads: “A vibrant Chinese community contributed greatly to the growth of Nelson in its early days.

“The Chinese worked in min-ing and its support services, on railroads, as proprietors of diverse businesses and in extensive market gardens that supplied vital fresh produce to Nelson and area for decades.

“Here was an entrance to Nelson’s Chinatown, one of the largest in the interior of British Columbia.”

The corner where the monument sits has also been re-landscaped and the handrail near it painted red.

Pickets go up at Nelson post office

Labour Strife at Canada Post

Nelson letter carriers estab-lished an information picket line outside the post office Tuesday morning after being told not to finish delivering Monday’s mail.

Canada Post announced last week that letter mail deliv-ery would be cut to three days a week in urban centres due to reduced volumes in the wake of rotating strike action.

However, local Canadian Union of Postal Workers pres-ident Bruce Northcott says Nelson has not seen that sort of decrease.

“We came in Monday and there was so much mail they told us to leave some of it be-hind for the next delivery,” he says.

“Knowing a lot of these people left 300 to 500 letters

behind, they wanted to come in [Tuesday] to try and move it along.”

But when they showed up at the post office Tuesday, only Northcott was allowed in.

He was assigned to deliver priority courier items, which continue to move five days a week, while the other carri-ers stood outside the building with placards and drums.

“They’d like to deliver the

mail, but they’re not being al-lowed to,” Northcott says.

When carriers go back to work today, he says they will have two days worth of mail to deliver plus what was left over from Monday.

“Their instructions are if they can’t finish two days of mail in the time allotted to do one day, they’re to stop deliv-ery, leaving 50 to 100 address-es still undelivered. Thursday we’ll get no mail, so those ad-dresses will wait until Friday.”

Northcott expects the picket line will go back up tomorrow, but says they aren’t discourag-ing people from entering the post office or using the mail.

“We’re pro Canada Post, for the deliveries and the system. We want the system to be suc-cessful.”

Canada Post didn’t respond to phone or email messages by deadline Tuesday.

Letter carriers are picketing the post office in Nelson, saying they aren’t being allowed to finish their deliveries. Mail is only going out Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in urban centres.

Beer garden allowedA beer garden

at the BC Seniors Games has become a pilot project, as Nel-son city council mulls over its position on selling alcohol in parks.

The beer garden will run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Lakeside Park during the two-day dragonboating portion of August’s seniors games, but would only be open to athletes and volun-teers, not the general public. In her request to council, dragon-boat sport chair and Kootenay Rhythm Dragon paddler Mary Walters said beer gardens are the norm at dragonboat races, and promote net-working and socializ-ing among paddlers.

Though Nelson police and other city departments have signed off on the plan, a few council-lors worried about the precedent allow-ing the beer garden would set.

Councillor Donna

Macdonald said agreeing to one beer garden would lead to more requests, and called for policy to be set on the issue.

“I agree camara-derie, socializing and networking are im-portant,” she added, “but I don’t think they need to be done over beer. Iced tea would be fine.”

Councillor Robin Cherbo — who voted against the garden — had stronger objec-tions.

“In the old days when they had beer gardens in Lakeside Park it wasn’t pretty,” he said. “I know the police say it’s not a problem, but to me it’s an invitation to drink and drive, unless they have some kind of shuttle service.”

City manager Kevin Cormack told council the seniors games coordina-

tors are planning on providing transit to move athletes from site to site, which might alleviate some of Cherbo’s concerns, and says the city will have more conversa-tions with the seniors games team about who would pay for any costs the beer garden might bring, such as extra cleanup or policing in the park.

Walters also told council the beer tents at dragonboat races aren’t known for get-ting out of hand.

“Dragonboaters aren’t rowdies,” she said.

While she support-ed Macdonald’s call for policy, councillor Deb Kozak also said she wasn’t worried about this particular beer garden causing problems.

“I’d like to remind council this is the BC Seniors Games,” she said.

Council will decide what kind of policy it would like to have on beer gardens at a future committee of the whole meeting.

BRIEFSWATER ADVISORY LIFTED

The City of Nelson has rescinded a wa-ter quality advisory issued last week due to spring runoff and heavy rain.

City engineer Rob Nystrom says after con-sulting with Interior Health, they’re comfort-able the water supply is again fine to drink.

Nelson’s water showed increased cloudi-ness and turbidity due to heavy rain, prompt-ing the advisory, but samples from the Moun-tain Station reservoir now indicate things are clearing up.

“It’s actually showed a steady improve-ment since [Thursday],” Nystrom says.

However, further fluctuations are possible if there is rapid snowmelt or more rain.

“The trend is downward. It is possible it might go above [acceptable levels] again, but we’re hoping not,” he says.

NEW CITY TREASURER NAMEDThe City of Nelson has hired Colin Mc-

Clure its new chief financial officer.McClure comes to the city from Selkirk

College, where he is director of finance. Pre-viously, he was assistant secretary treasurer of the Kootenay Lake school dis-trict.

McClure has been a chartered accountant since 2005 and has extensive ex-perience in finance.

“I am excited and hum-bled to take on the posi-tion,” he says. “My hope is to provide the financial leadership and accountability that will be required for the City to meet and exceed their current finan-cial and operational objectives.”

McClure begins full-time starting August 2. Until then, he’ll work on special projects part-time while he familiarizes himself with city operations and wraps things up at Sel-kirk College.

He replaces Linda Tynan, who left at the end of last year.

LOCAL UNEMPLOYMENT DIPSStatistics Canada says the unemployment

rate in the Kootenays fell to 9.5 per cent in May, down from 10.1 per cent in May.

However, it’s still higher than at the same time last year, when it sat at 8.3 per cent.

It was also higher than the provincial rate of 7.6 per cent and the national rate of 7.4 per cent, which both declined slightly. The latter was the lowest since January 2009.

McClure

A 54-year-old woman went to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after being hit by a pick-up truck while on her motorcycle just before noon Saturday.

Nelson police say the incident happened in Fairview.

A 35-year-old man has been charged with failing to yield after a stop sign.

Grad wet but safePolice are thanking their re-

serve officers, several dozen vol-unteers, and the class of 2011 for making Saturday’s grad cavalcade “safe and tremendously enjoyable to watch.”

“In spite of the torrential down-pour during the parade, all par-ticipants put on a brave face and performed admirably for the large crowds,” Acting Sgt. Dino Falcone says.

Take a look at today’s front page photo. The jubilation in the rain will be an enduring image of this past weekend’s

L.V. Rogers grad festivities.Beautiful dresses and sharp tuxes so

painstakingly picked out — drenched. Make-up and hair so carefully prepared — a mess. Vehicles shined and ready for the big day — soaked to the floorboard.

Despite Mother Nature’s best efforts, this group of grads were undeterred. It cements what we all know: the youth of our commu-nity are ready for any challenge thrown their way. Kootenay tough and ready for what the world throws at them, they rolled through the downtown in the downpour.

The large majority of the Class of 2011 will soon be leaving their hometown. Off to uni-versity, to travel the world or to seek oppor-tunity in the big city, they’ve made their mark here and will now carry the lessons learned in this idyllic setting to the next stage of their lives.

Some will stay and some will eventually return, adding their talents and traits to the diversity of this community. Even if this is the last time they ever live in the Kootenay, this place is sure to never leave them.

Flip through the special grad insert in to-day’s paper and the smiling faces will be sure to bring one to yours. Greatness exists in this group and we’re all excited to see the mark they will make on the world.

As anybody who has already crossed this bridge knows, life is full of rainstorms and dark skies. How we overcome adversity is the true test of who we are.

As a city council part of our mandate is to strive to have

and promote a healthy lifestyle and a healthy community.

Some of council re-cently met with public health officers who wanted to liaison with city coun-cils to see how we can work together for healthy communities. While it is important to have bylaws and regulations it is also important to promote healthy lifestyles. Public health now comes under the huge mandate of the Interior Health Authority in which there are good programs as well as areas that could be improved.

City council promotes and advocates for a healthy community and lifestyles for active living under our Official Community Plan, as well as in areas such as Water and Sewer Master Plan, Downtown/Water-front Master Plan and we are part of the recreation commission, for examples.

The city continually works to upgrade and im-prove the infrastructure for water quality.

City council has recent-ly reviewed and prioritized our long list of bylaws that requires updating.

Our first order of business is to develop an adjudication system to fast track enforcement of bylaws in order to get compliance. Included in the list of bylaws that deal directly with public health are anti-idling and anti-smoking regulations. This comes in line with pro-grams though IHA public health, such as plans for safe food, clean water,

and clean air along with supporting anti-smoking regulations in public areas.

This also has the sup-port of the Cancer Society who advocate no smok-ing near public buildings, in public parks and on beaches, which a number of municipalities have added to their no-smoking bylaws. This has been one of my long term goals, to have the City’s no-smoking by-law updated to match other municipali-ties and to current recom-mended guidelines.

For example, in May Interior Health announced Smoke Free Champions for Change winners.

Smoking is the number one cause of premature death and a leading cause of preventable hospital-ization. According to the World Health Organiza-tion, tobacco use kills

more than five million people a year — an aver-age of one person every six seconds — and accounts for one in 10 adult deaths.

In line with this, June 8 was promoted as Clean Air Day. In Nelson, our airshed is shared between the City of Nelson, the Regional District of Cen-tral Kootenay and private

industries.Obviously there are

many aspects to having a healthy community and having the tools to advo-cate and regulate healthy lifestyles for the majority of the public. Fortunately Nelson is a known as a ac-tive and healthy commu-nity with the options to be active in many areas, such as walking, hiking, biking trails, just to name a few.

The city continually works to make improve-ments in many areas and along with the assistance of regional partners such as RDCK and IHA with public health, will contin-ue to improve our stan-dards for healthy living in the community.

Maria Gabriela Eastman needs your help. She is the newborn daughter of Eric Eastman, a long-time former resident of Nelson now living in Santiago, Chile.

Maria Gabriela has cystic fibrosis. In the first month of her life she has had two intes-tinal surgeries and is slated for a third in six to eight months. Most probably, she will develop lung problems in her childhood.

In Chile, not all medical treatments and medicines are free as they are in Canada. So far the family has spent $60,000 US for María Gabri-ela’s hospital stay and treat-ments. The cost is mounting at a rate of over $1,000 US daily. Some treatments and drugs for cystic fibrosis are covered by the government of Chile, but not all. For exam-ple, not covered is the drug Synagis (free in Canada, but $1,000 to $2,000 US per dose in Chile), which reduces the risk of deadly lung infections during the winter months — for her, the flu or common cold could have dire con-sequences. Synagis must be administered monthly from June to October (the winter season in Chile).

Eric Eastman, former head of the Kootenay Tai Chi

Centre, says: “We have not run out of hope, but we are running out of money. For this reason I am asking you, as a member of the com-munity of which I have been involved in for many years, to make a donation so that

Maria Gabriela can continue to receive treatment.”

Donations can be deposit-ed in the Royal Bank account No. 03200-5067087, Eric Eastman.

I feel the need to explain to the good people why some-times it is necessary for a cyclist to bike in the middle of the road. It all comes down to safety.

You average cycling com-muter is very conscious of his or her safety. When you ride the same route every day you see traps that you know will eventually catch you and hurt you.

One such trap is the curves on High Street between the cinema and the campground. The road is not wide enough for a car to pass a bicycle. The car has to cross into the oncoming lane. The corners are blind on this stretch of High Street. It does not take a lot of imagination to picture the car passing you getting struck by another vehicle and crushing you into the retain-ing wall. When I ride this stretch of road I will ride in the middle of the road. I let them pass me as soon as it

is safe for them to do so. My presence in their lane may cost them up to a minute of their time.

Another trap is Ward Street, heading downhill past City Hall. The dangers of this stretch are many-fold. The oncoming lane splits into two lanes at that point, breed-ing possible confusion. The downhill lane in the morn-ing looks wider than it is on account of the empty parking spaces. Many people try to pass me when turning the corner onto Front Street. The

lane is not wide enough to accommodate the maneuver When I get passed there the vehicle passing always gets too close for comfort. As a rule, I ride in the middle of the road at this point. I believe I delay traffic for no more than ten seconds.

When I ride in the middle of the road, I do not do so because I want to wantonly delay the vehicles behind me. I would much rather the car in front of me, no longer a hazard. I ride in the middle of the road so that a motor-ist cannot pass me, risking my life in order to save 30 seconds of his commute. And when some jerk starts honking and screaming at me to get out of the way, I smile, comforted in the knowledge that I avoided a dangerous trap. Then, when it’s safe to be passed, I flip ‘em the bird and get out of the way.

Each of the eight women involved in the show was asked to think of a situation to which they’d at-tached strong emo-tions, then make a shape with their bod-ies reflecting those feelings.

“We had to do

that with our eyes closed, and then once we were all in our shapes they told us to open our eyes and look around the room and gravitate to the people who had a shape the most similar,” remembers participant Jennifer Bredl. “It was amaz-ing, because it almost instantly broke [us] into two groups, and the two themes were shame and anger. It was really distinct.”

The two groups would, over the next six weeks, come up with pieces reflect-ing both of those emotions. But when Hooked goes in front of a live audience

this Friday, the cast is hoping anger and shame will become the basis for under-standing and conver-sation.

“I’d like them to go home and think about the other side, what it’s like for us,” says participant Debbie MacKenzie. “That’s my main hope.”

STORIES OF REAL LIFE

Hooked began with a $5,000 grant from the Public Health Agency of Canada, the support of ANKORS and the West Kootenay Women’s Centre, and a problem ANKORS prevention and edu-

cation coordinator Chloe Sage had been hearing again and again in her conver-sations with women struggling with ad-diction.

“So many women were coming to me and saying they felt really isolated per-sonally, and isolated from the commu-nity,” says Sage.

“And isolation in your own life only feeds addiction. So what I wanted to do was bring women together who might have some shared ex-periences to support each other.”

The women who signed up for the project are a diverse group. Some strug-gled with addiction from an early age, while others devel-oped problems with drugs or alcohol later in life. There’s a range of ages, lifestyles and stories.

But while the spe-cifics of their journeys differ there are deeper commonalities.

“There are eight women in here from completely different walks of life,” says Bredl, a mother of six with a middle-class background, who has battle a range of addictions since her teenage years

“There’s differ-ent socio-economic backgrounds and different experiences, and we all shared the same feelings.”

As they developed Hooked, the group met once a week (once the show is over, each will receive a $200 honorarium taken from the original grant). They shared stories and ex-periences, did theatre games and exercises. At other times volun-teers from Nelson’s theatre community quizzed each woman about her character, interviewing them as though they were a struggling mother, a woman trying to get her friends clean and off the streets, or a social services caseworker.

Many participants say the process has given them a chance to work through old memories.

“It’s bringing out situations that have been there that I’ve never really talked about,” says Jessica Parker (who asked her real name not be used). “This is a way to deal with it, a start.”

Others say the chance to interact with other women has, in itself, been one of the best things about the project.

“Normally it’s all men and one woman in any kind of recov-

ery activity,” explains MacKenzie. “The majority is men. So it’s nice to just have a group of women. I found that really, really appealing.”

“I’ve seen most of these girls before but I didn’t really know them,” adds Amber-staar Pyper, who’s opening the show with a self-penned song and is drawing on her experiences on the streets for her character.

“Now when we’re on the street it’s like, ‘oh hey, how’s it go-ing?’ So we’ve been making new friends as well. And others that I knew better, we’re closer.”

SOMETHING DIFFERENT

Hooked isn’t just about building fel-lowship within the cast. Audience mem-bers will have a job to do too.

“It’s not like regular theatre, where it starts with an issue and it builds and builds and builds and it climaxes with an explosion and everybody goes home feeling like they’ve figured everything out,” says Sage. “This is different.”

Instead, each short play builds to a cli-

max and stops.“Then we turn it

over to the audience and say ‘what are we going to do about that?’”

The plays run again, and audience members are en-couraged to stop the performance, come onstage, replace an actor and try to work out the story them-selves.

“It’s like choose your own adventure,” says Sage. “So we get to create dialogue about these really difficult to talk about issues.”

“I would like them to see that we’re hu-man beings,” adds Pyper.

“There’s a lot of stigma attached to being a street walker and an addict. And they only see that, they don’t see that we laugh, we cry, we hurt, we have peace. We might have some issues, yes, but it doesn’t make us bad people.”

It’s a sentiment echoed by many in the cast.

“When I was using heavy, I felt so isolat-ed,” says MacKenzie. “I didn’t feel like part of society. I felt like I was looked down upon. It was probably how I was perceiving people, I don’t know, but that’s how I felt. So I think it’s really important to do these plays.”

Hooked runs Friday at 7 p.m. at SelfDesign High, on the second floor of the Legion building. Admission is $5.

“We get to create dialogue

about these really difficult to talk about

issues.”Chloe Sage

Unusual Jobs:Forest WorkerPatricia RawsonEmployment Strategist

Suite 203-514 Vernon St., Nelson , BC 250.352.6200 or 1.877.952.6200

www.kcds.ca

What is unusual about a forest worker when you live in a forest? For Greg, a guy who has worked in the bush for almost 40 years, it’s how you look at it. Being a forest worker, to Greg, means “having a light footprint.”

Th roughout his work life, he has done a whole range of forestry jobs – treeplanting, brushing, thinning, pruning, spacing and felling trees. Greg now spends his time “taking out the ones that should come out and leaving the healthy ones to grow.” “Felling snags” is what he calls it – snags are dead trees.

Other contract work may include brushing which is pulling or cutting away weeds so they don’t choke the growing tree. Th e idea is to “remove the competition.”

Forestry jobs can also include collecting seed cones, preparing the land for planting, and generally taking care of young trees until the “free to grow stage.”

How it all works in BC is a two-stage process. WorkScene, a BC publication that profi les various occupations, describes the stages. Th e Forest Practices Code “sets standards for logging and environmental regulations and specifi cally ensures that companies replant all logged areas. Th e Forest Renewal Plan invests funds from stumpage fees paid by logging companies to create work in forest renewal activities. Both initiatives are intended to ensure that BC forests are maintained and renewed.

Basic silviculture is the responsibility of forest companies that harvest trees on Crown Land.” Having forest companies caring for the land is a concern for Greg, who has seen forestry practices that are ‘wasteful.’ He has found that other challenges of the job are “people telling you how to do the work,” who haven’t had a lot of experience of the land and then the contractors who “cut corners to make money.” For example, as a forest worker, he may come upon a unique tree, one of a kind, and his reaction is to leave it alone. But that’s not what he is paid to do. He suggests looking at the forestry practices in other countries, such as what happens in Europe.

What Greg likes about his job is the “wind blowing through the trees – wildlife – the colour of green.” He also likes the notion of understanding that “trees are more than a commodity; they hold our water and clear our air.” Seeing the connection between water and trees, Greg refers to a book called Th e Principles of Forestry that explains how the “grove eff ect” ensures that water is held back times of fl oods and then in times of drought, water is available. Greg is passionate about his work, emphasizing the elements of protecting and honouring the forest.For people who are interested in forestry work, Greg believes a love of trees is the key element. When he thinks about the future of the forest industry, it is about “embracing sustainability,” which means “ensuring future generations have what we have.” Th e picture that comes to Greg when he thinks about his work is looking at a forest of trees that has been thinned; it “looks like a well kept garden.”

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

A graduation ceremony is an event where the commencement speaker tells thousands of students dressed in identical caps and gowns that ‘individuality’ is the key to success.

~ Robert Orben

It is indeed ironic that we spend our school days yearning to graduate and our remaining days waxing nostalgic about our school days.

Don’t be dismayed at goodbyes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetime, is certain for those who are friends.

People should not jump in to rescue dogs, say policeContinued from Page 1

Nelson Search and Rescue was contacted and dispatched a four-person swift water team.

Search manager Scott Spencer says the man was in the middle of the creek, and other hikers in the area tried to get to him.

“I think they got a blanket out to him and a piece of rope, but it was still putting them in danger,” Spencer says.

When the swift water team arrived, they set up a tethering system and entered the creek

at a relatively calm and shallow point.

“It’s not that often that we find someone who’s managed to pull themselves to safety and hang on until we get there,” Spencer says.

They waded out and carried the man back to shore, where a stretcher and paramedics were waiting. He had been in the creek for two hours.

He was taken to hospital with advanced hypothermia and non-life-threatening injuries. He has

since been released.“I believe he had a broken

arm, lacerations, and bumps and bruises,” the RCMP’s Seibel says.

“He was in the water long enough and the current’s strong enough that he’s lucky.”

The dog remains missing. Friends of the pet’s owner have been searching the area in hopes of finding it.

Seibel says while the rescue was successful, “this situation could have and often does have

a far less positive outcome.” Police and search and rescue

say people should use extremecaution when hiking during high water, and take precautionsto keep pets from falling in. If itdoes happen, they urge peoplenot to go after them.

“You’re putting your life onthe line and if someone tries torescue you, their lives as well,”Seibel says. “On average, dogs have a better chance than hu-mans of surviving a fall into swift water.”

Dr. Jeff Lloyd ChiropractorOwner

The body gets most of its position sense information from the nerve receptors located in various joints and muscles throughout the body.

These specialized nerve receptors are called proprioceptors and are constantly relaying information as to where your limbs are in space as you move. Other structures that tell you where your body is in space are the eyes, giving your brain visual information and the inner ear, telling you where your head is relative to gravity. The proprioceptors mentioned above give us the majority of our position information. This can be demonstrated by the fact that we can still walk and know where we are in space even if we were to walk with our eyes closed while holding our head perfectly still. Therefore, the health of the joints in the feet, ankles, hips, low back and especially neck play a very large role in our overall stability. This is where chiropractic is extremely helpful. Proper joint function can dramatically improve proprioception and have many positive effects on a person other than just pain relief. As a person ages the joint range of motion decreases and nerve function reduces, forcing older folks to rely on visual cues more than the proprioceptive cues, predisposing them to falls. To further improve the amount of proprioceptive input, a custom foot orthotic helps because it essentially brings the ground up to the foot, stimulating more highly sensitive proprioceptors on the base of the foot, adding to a person’s stability and awareness.

Is there anything that can be done to help prevent falls in older folks?

Call today for an appointment.

Healthy food choices are a pillar of digestive, as well as overall health. Digestive complaints are commonly caused by lifestyle factors and improper diet. Avoid

fried or greasy food, iced beverages, excess alcohol, white fl our products and too many sweets which all put a strain on the digestive system. Individualized changes in these lifestyle factors and diet modifi cation are often integrated into the acupuncture course of treatment to correct the imbalances and regulate digestion.

Digestion starts with chewing thoroughly – many people are in a rush to fi nish their meal and consume food too quickly, which places an extra burden on the stomach. I recommend raw, lightly steamed, or stir fried foods as a basic starting point as well as not combining too many different foods together. Also, digestive disorders may indicate overall health imbalance. Emotionally, digestive symptoms are often due to chronic stress and worrying. Specifi c acupuncture points increase gastrointestinal muscle contraction and relaxation and regulate gastric acid secretion, making acupuncture benefi cial in treating general gastrointestinal symptoms. In conjunction with Chinese herbal medicine and stress reduction techniques, acupuncture can nourish related organs, minimize symptoms and contribute to medication-free digestive system health maintenance.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine are effective in treating most digestive disorders including: Indigestion, bacterial infections, peptic ulcers, heartburn, lactose intolerance, gastrointestinal tract bleeding, and infl ammatory conditions. For more info visit www.nelsonacupuncture.com

I have digestive upset after almost every meal. Is there anything that you can recommend to help with this?

A “Insurance Replacement Cost Value” is very different from your “Assessed Value”. Your assessed value is based on the current

market value including land, depreciation of your home and current market conditions. The Insurance Replacement Cost Value is an estimation of cost to replace your home taking into account new materials without depreciation, the cost of labor and building code update requirements. The calculation will also include an allowance for debris removal. In the case of a total or partial loss, the damaged debris must be removed before any rebuilding can occur.

It is very important that your home be insured to its accurate replacement value. Your broker typically will ask to re-evaluate the replacement value of your home every 3 years or sooner if you have made any improvements or renovations to the home. A full review will be done confi rming the square footage of your home including any attached deck areas and garage/carports, the type of construction ie: frame, log and the type of fi nishing noting any custom features.

Insurance to value is crucial as it allows the homeowner to have an adequate amount of coverage to rebuild or repair their home in the event of a total or partial loss situation. This also allows the insurance companies to collect premium associated with the risk involved and maintain an adequate reserve to pay claims.

As brokers, our commitment to our customers is to help protect your most valuable asset.... your home.

An Exclusive Buyer’s Agency Contract is an agreement of loyalty and states the relationship & services that the

Realtor® provides to the Buyer. There is a lot of time and energy that goes into researching the right property. Since it’s probably the biggest investment you have, why not hire a professional you can trust, to work on this for you?

The area in which I feel this contract is particularly benefi cial to the Buyer is when purchasing a “For Sale by Owner” property. Realtors® are highly and continuously trained professionals. Your dealings with a Realtor® are insured and offer you an opportunity for recourse.

Your Realtor® can ask the right questions and keep your interests in mind when negotiating the best price and investigating for potential defi ciencies.

We have the ability to research Title and Encumbrances, Septic, & Water. We’re also able to provide comparable sales data for similar properties to assist you in understanding current market values.

Realtors® can prepare binding Contracts of Purchase and Sale with accompanying documents and guide you through the process of removing conditions. Why take on the risk, when you can hire a Real Estate professional? I think you’ll fi nd it is money well spent.

As we all know interest rates are the price for borrowing money and the rates change due to three factors: supply and demand for funds, monetary policy and

infl ation/defl ation. The question for many people; how do I make the most of the current super low interest rates?

Supply and demands for funds works like this; if the bank has lots of money to lend and the demand is low the interest rates will be low. If the bank has limited money and demand is high interest rates are higher. The bank pays you a certain percentage to hold your money and lends it out at a higher interest rate, making a profi t on the spread. If the banks money supply is low they need to get it by issuing bonds which costs them more and ultimately costs borrowers more.

Monetary policy is essentially the Federal Government “printing money” and increasing the money supply. The more money that the Fed’s print the lower the interest rate due to the increased supply of money.

The third factor is infl ation/defl ation. The government can control big swings in the economy by increasing or decreasing the prime lending rate. This helps to pull back uncontrolled growth and helps to spur on the economy in recessionary times like we have experienced over the past couple years.

Currently the banks have an abundance of money and the Federal Government is creating more money to stimulate spending and to steer away from defl ation. This results in some of the lowest interest rates ever! Many people are taking advantage of this low interest rate environment by acquiring undervalued assets, tackling renovations or simply refi nancing to get the lower rate and saving thousands of dollars. If you would like to discuss a winning strategy for your fi nancial goals, I can help.

Nelson proves Kootenay mightNelson Youth Soccer is

sending six of its eight rep teams to challenge for a pro-vincial title in early July.

In provincial playdown action in Nelson and Cran-brook over the weekend, only two teams — the U14 and U16 girls — failed to earn the Kootenay berth.

“We’re pretty thrilled,” says Nelson Youth Soccer Association president Chuck Bennett. “It’s a real accom-plishment, but the real test will come in a few weeks.”

The playdowns included teams from three other as-sociations — Kootenay South (Trail, Rossland, Fruitvale and Castlegar), Kootenay East (Cranbrook and Kimberley) and Co-

lumbia Valley (Invermere). All of the boys sides (U13, U14, U15) triumphed over

their regional rivals. On the girls side, the U13 and U17 Selects made it through the

Kootenay challenge. The U17 boys received a bye.

“I think it basically comes down to the coaches,” says Nelson Youth Soccer techni-cal director Dave Spendlove.

“All the coaches are preaching the same game philosophy and that has spread throughout the club... from house league through to rep.”

So what’s the secret?“Our philosophy is to

teach the kids possession soccer,” says Spendlove. “The theory being is that if we have the ball, the other team can’t score. Pretty simple.

“You have to train to do that of course, but if your team has the ball then the other team can’t score.”

HST will be reduced from 12% to 10%.After listening to British Columbians, the government has proposed an HST reduction from 12% to 11% by 2012, then to 10% by 2014. This proposed change will take effect if the province votes to keep the HST in the referendum. If B.C. votes to return to the GST + PST system, the combined rate will remain at 12%.

Transition cheques for families & seniors.Under the proposed change to a 10% HST rate, the average B.C. family will be $120 better off annually than under the old 12% GST + PST system. And to help transition to the lower rate, the government will provide $175 for every child under 18 and every senior with income up to $40,000.

Cont. from Page 30The six local squads

will now compete in the Provincial B tour-naments in Powell River, Penticton and 100 Mile House.

This year larger or-ganizations like Kel-owna and Kamloops will be vying for pro-vincial gold in the B Cup, so the Nelson teams will be coming in as underdogs.

“We are going to be up against really stiff competition this year,” says Spendlove. “The goal of the Nel-son coaches this year should be to medal.”

Spendlove says if it wasn’t for key injuries, the U17 girls would have a pretty good shot at taking the title.

Other teams with a strong chance of being in the medals include the U13 girls and U15 boys.

Last season the U18 boys surprised many by bringing home a provincial title.

For more a detailed wrap of the weekend, see Friday’s Star.

SportsRotary Golf

Tourney Tops $15,000

Nelson Rotary president-elect Giaconda Maida (right solo and with her team) tees off at this month’s Rotary golf

tournament, which raised over $15,000. The majority came from hole sponsorships by

local businesses. “It was just unbelievable,” says tourna-ment chair John Ferguson.

“It’s one of the major fundrais-ers for Rotary.” The money

will all be reinvested lo-cally, most in the new wharf at Lakeside Park, and some on scholarships. In all 96 golfers took part, and Howie Grant’s foursome had the best score.

Exchange students embrace Kootenay

They were wel-comed by a very smelly baited bear trap when they ar-rived in the group campsite at Kokanee Creek Provincial Park, but initial anxiety wore off and 19 Rotary youth exchange students quickly started to enjoy their first over-night tent camping experience.

The 17 to 19-year-old students came from Indonesia, Taiwan, France, Italy, Brazil, Norway, Ecuador, Bolivia, Germany, Japan, Thailand, France and Mexico. Several had never camped before and were enchanted by this wonderful

local park. The fire pit be-

came the gathering place for meals, but a warm fire made it the gathering site for the students when they returned from a soak at Ainsworth Hot Springs and were welcomed to a rau-cous sing-along by a small group of musi-cians and singers of The Second Winds.

Although sleep under the brilliant array of stars was short for some stu-dents, they headed off for a Baker Street stroll, before riding the historic Nelson tramway with special narration by Rotarian Walter Laurie.

After a visit and lunch at Lakeside Ro-tary Park, the group continued its onward

journey. During the course of this district tour, the students will visit Bonners Ferry, Invermere, Cran-brook, Creston, Nel-son, Castlegar, Coeur d’Alene and Spokane where they will par-ticipate in the Rotary District Conference. Soon after, their year in North America will become a dream and several thousand photos.

Rotary Youth Ex-change has existed for over 76 years in more than 80 countries and over 8,000 students worldwide participate in the program which is administered by

Rotary districts. Over 1.2 million

Rotarians worldwide create the extensive network that pro-vides support for youth exchange. Local Rotarians thank families that have hosted our two exchange students, Luca Sattler from Germany and Leon-ard Batubara from Indonesia; families include Al and Nor-een Lynas, Tom and Shelley Purdey, Leo Degroot and Sandra Irvine, Scott Spencer and Tatiana Petrov and Al and Kelli May.

During the next school year, the two

Rotary clubs in Nel-son will not host any long term exchange students. However, if local students are interested in par-ticipating in the short term summer exchange program, which involves a six week direct family-to-family exchange, they may make their interest known by September 30 to the New Generations di-rector/youth Services director in either the Rotary Club of Nelson Daybreak or the Rotary Club of Nelson.

An opportunity of a lifetime awaits!

Doreen KelsallBorn February 24, 1933

– Died June 5, 2011 Born Evelyn Doreen Samuelson, Doreen was the second of fi ve children of Richard and Dilys Samuelson of Rossland, BC. Growing up, she spent

many happy days hiking, backpacking and

skiing in the mountains around Rossland. She was a

gifted student, and talented in many fi elds. After high school, Doreen worked in the Department of Highways offi ce in Rossland, where she met Jack Kelsall, a newly graduated engineer from Silverton, BC. Th ey married on September 4, 1954. Th ey shared a love of the outdoors, especially the mountains and scenery of British Columbia. Jack’s fi rst posting as a highways engineer took them to Prince Rupert, where their daughter JoAnn was born. Doreen described this time as “a great adventure,” “very exciting” for them. For the next 12 years, they lived in New Denver, Grand Forks, Revelstoke and Victoria as Jack’s career with Highways progressed. In 1969, they moved to Nelson, where they stayed for the rest of their lives. Wherever they lived, Doreen created beautiful homes using her talents for sewing and interior design. Doreen could turn rented houses into showcases of style with paint, fabric and artfully arranged furniture. In 1977, Doreen and Jack bought a house near the golf course in Nelson, and made it their dream home. Using principles from Japanese garden design, Westcoast native art and nature, they turned a rocky uneven hillside into a magical garden, with meandering pathways, connecting decks and terraces, and an artifi cial stream cascading down the hill into a pond. Th e garden was a highlight on local garden club tours, and the topic of a feature article in Gardens West magazine in 2007. Th ey never stopped working on the house, from upgrading plumbing, lights and doors, to replacing all the fl oors and a complete kitchen renovation. Avid readers, Doreen often said the only room in their house without books was the bathroom. She continued to enjoy reading and listening to CBC Radio all her life. Doreen and Jack were enthusiastic skiers, both downhill and cross-country, and were very involved in the golf club. Doreen served as Rules Chair for a number of years. Doreen was highly creative and tried her hand at many diff erent arts and crafts, from embroidery to upholstery. She came to love quilting, and her fabric art brought recognition from many quilters. She was the featured guest artist at a guild show in Grand Forks, and friends and family members will cherish the bedspreads, lapquilts, Christmas tree skirts and other projects she gave them over the years. Whenever she was in public, Doreen was always beautifully dressed, in stylish, elegant clothes she often made herself. She was intelligent and dignifi ed, funny, insightful, and outgoing. She will be remembered and missed by many people. Doreen was healthy all her adult life until she developed pneumonia and died on June 5, 2011 at the age of 78. Cremation has taken place and arrangements are under the direction of Th ompson Funeral Service, Ltd. Doreen is survived by her daughter, JoAnn Turner. Her youngest sister Audrey (Mack) also survives, along with brothers-in-law Alan Underwood and Bud Mack, sister-in-law Marilyn Samuelson, and many nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews. Doreen was predeceased by both of her parents, Dilys (Jones) Samuelson in 1960 and Richard Emanuel Samuelson in 1963, and by her sister Gladys (Underwood) and brothers Sonny and Maurice Samuelson, all of Rossland.

Doreen and Jack Kelsall were known for their

togetherness, that if you saw one, you knew the other was nearby. Her beloved husband Jack died in

September, 2009. Jack and Doreen will be interred together in the Nelson Cemetery.

A memorial and celebration of their lives will be held in Nelson on Saturday, August 6, 2011.

Get a hole-in-one without swinging a clubJuly 10 marks the tenth an-

niversary of the Kootenay Lake Hospital Foundation’s Legacy Golf Event at Granite Pointe.

While this event has become popular among local golfers of varying skill levels, now there is a unique (and fun) way for the community to participate.

Suppose you were told that it was possible to sink a hole-

in-one without swinging a club. Impossible? Not when you have a little help from the Nelson Fire Department, 103.5 FM The Bridge and the Nelson Star.

This year’s event will feature Nelson’s first ever Golf Ball Drop. Here is how it will work: At 7 p.m. on the day of the tourna-ment at Granite Pointe, 999 uniquely numbered golf balls will be dropped from the ex-tended ladder of the Nelson Fire Department’s aerial ladder truck.

The first ball that goes into the hole — or failing that, comes closest to the hole — will win the grand prize. Through the generosity of 103.5 FM The Bridge, the grand prize winner will win a two night stay at the Prestige Oceanfront Resort in Sooke, as well as a round of golf for two, cart rental, and dinner for two at Olympic View Golf Club. In addition, the win-ner will also receive $1,000 in spending money.

A ticket corresponding to a numbered ball can be pur-chased for $10. Tickets are avail-able at 103.5 FM The Bridge, Granite Pointe Golf Club, and Sensations Klothes Shoppe, or by calling the Foundation office at 354-2334. Tickets can also be purchased at Market Fest on June 24, outside the liquor store on the afternoon of June 30, or at Lakeside Park’s Canada Day celebration on July 1.

For those interested in play-

ing golf in a more traditional manner, our Legacy Golf Event is on July 10 and is a four per-son scramble format. Please call Granite Pointe at 250-352-5913 to register as an individual or a team. The cost is $100 per play-er and includes a dinner served by Granite Pointe’s Clubhouse Restaurant and prizes donated by sponsors. Proceeds from this event go towards hospital foun-dation. Check out our website at klhf.org for more information.

A Little Help for Some Friendsphoto submitted

Brianna Stewart Holland (right) recently turned seven and decided to take the opportunity to help her favourite charity, the Kootenay Animal Assistance Program. Instead of guests bring-ing gifts, they brought toonies for the program, and raised $50 to help the animals. Holland and friend Pugsley (who was recently adopted from the program) present Daryl Torres with $50 in toonies. To learn more about Kootenay Animal Assistance, visit homes4animals.com or their Facebook page for details about their spay/neuter initiative, barn cat program, lost and found pets, as well as a listing of all pets currently available for adoption.
