Mungall scores landslideMichelle Mungall has secured

a second term representing Nel-son-Creston, a bittersweet victory considering her party remains the official opposition.

“I am happy that I am still the MLA for Nelson-Creston, but this is bittersweet overall — disappointed I am on the same side of the house,” she said Tuesday evening as she watched the results pour in sur-rounded by her supporters.

Mungall garnered 7,576 votes (50.32 per cent) while the Liberal candidate Greg Garbula took 4,348 votes (28.88 per cent) and Green’s Sjeng Derkx got 3,133 ballots (20.81 per cent) cast in his favour.

Gathered at the Hume Room, Mungall made a grand entrance to the applause of supporters wait-ing to see the winner. The newly elected MLA told a crowd of ap-proximately 50 people that the win wouldn’t have been possible with-out the “blood, sweat and tears” of her volunteers. With their help, she sits in the legislature once again, she said.

“I am glad that I get to go back to Victoria and represent Nelson-Creston and continue on the work I’ve been doing in the area,” said Mungall.

But she recognizes the road ahead won’t be easy as her party didn’t form the next government, despite pollsters predicting an NDP win. She was surprised and reluc-tant to admit her party’s defeat.

“Like many British Columbians, especially here in Nelson-Creston, I am feeling surprised at the overall results. Most people anticipated a New Democrat government,” she said. “What was it that ultimately people, after years of saying they were done with the Liberals, and that they wanted to park their vote with us, that they actually ended up staying where they were.”

Garbula was surprised that he

was not able to make more inroads in a riding that has leaned to the left in most of the recent elections.

“I’m very melancholy about it,” he told the Star. “To be honest, I thought the people would be more interested in themselves and the representation I could bring rather than party politics.”

Green Party candidate Derkx was pleased to see his party gain its first seat with the election of cli-

mate scientist Andrew Weaver in the Oak Bay-Gordon Head riding near Victoria.

“We have a foot in the door, no matter whose foot it is... He’ll in-crease the credibility of the Green party much further — and next time we’ll have five, ten or 15 [Green MLAs]” Derkx said. “I would have liked to join Andrew, but this is just absolutely fantastic... I’m so proud of my party.”

FeatureLast of � ree Parts on the Capitol � eatre

Stacey’s love of stage steadfast

Margaret Stacey didn’t set foot in the Capitol

� eatre until shortly before it re-opened in April 1988. But she quickly became — and remains — the person most closely associated with its revival.

Stacey ran a theatre in Cranbrook years earlier and organized a Kootenay drama festival at the Capi-tol shortly before its grand opening. Yet it didn’t occur to her to apply for the man-ager’s job.

“But my husband said, ‘Why don’t you try for that?’ I had just come o� 12 years of community theatre and four children. He said, ‘do it.’”

She did. Among her � rst duties: repainting roses on the theatre walls based on the original design. In those days, Stacey was the only employee of a very hands-on board. Soon Elaine Henderson joined to help with clerical duties. But what she really needed, Stacey realized, was a tech-nician. She found one in Paul Pokorny, a Bradislava-trained lighting designer.

“He poured his heart and soul into this place for about four years,” she says. “And his brother Peter came a� erwards.” (Paul’s still in the area while Peter now works at the Belfry � eatre in Victoria.)

Next up was technical di-rector Harvey Duto� , now the theatre’s longest-serving employee with more than 20 years under his belt. Back then the technician was also the custodian.

“We were all custodians,” Stacey says. “� ere wasn’t a lot of money to go around. Everything was on a shoestring. We were doing cash out of a shoebox. We had a Gestener. I preferred the money to go into the [theatre] program rather than the [printed] program. We had to watch pennies and be very careful about everything we did.”

(Today in addition to Duto� the sta� consists of

manager Stephanie Fischer, assistant manager Eva McKimm, assistant tech director Terry Brennan, building manager Dodi Zerr and bookkeeper Brad Fergusson.)

Following nearly six years of start-and-stop restora-tion that cost $1.2 million, the Capitol opened with great expectations, which it largely met or exceeded. In the � rst four months, nearly 15,000 people went through its doors.

“It was quite a magni� -cent experience to open it,” says Stacey, who heard almost daily from people who remembered the the-atre in its earlier incarna-

tion, 30 to 60 years prior. “People remembered

coming into movies when they were kids or in dance class. � ey really liked to tell me stories of how they snuck in. � at was their biggest joy.”

At � rst there was also a contingent who felt the the-atre was a bad investment, but over time — perhaps as their children or grandchil-dren appeared in Capitol productions — that senti-ment went away.

“� ey’ve been remark-ably forgiving,” Stacey laughs.

Current Capitol Theatre manager Stephanie Fischer (left) and former manager Margaret Stacey (right) are getting set to celebrate the stage’s 85th birthday and 25th anniversary of its restoration tomorrow night.

SIGNATURE SERIES

One of the Capitol’s � rst major coups was staging a new

work by Canadian author Carol Shields, who hap-pened to be visiting Nelson. Stacey had instructions to make summer youth theatre happen and found grants to hire 11 students for You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.

On a whim, she called Shields to ask if she had a play they could also do that summer.

“I have one that’s only been done at River East Collegiate in Manitoba,” Shields replied. “But it’s not published yet and prob-ably not even � nished. It’s kind of an airport comedy. I haven’t decided whether to call it Arrivals and Depar-tures or Departures and Arrivals.”

“She sent it o� to me and it was a wonderful script,” Stacey recalls. “� e students loved it. It was quirky, bi-zarre, funny, well-written.”

Arrivals and Departures, as it was � nally known, was a hit. It went around the school festival circuit and was produced by the Arts Club in Vancouver and even in Japan. “But this is where it really got started,” says Stacey, who still has a note from Shields.

Two “particularly great” performers in the cast that summer were the late Bent-ley Nichvolodo� as Charlie Brown and Bessie Wapp as Snoopy. Wapp’s been on the Capitol stage dozens of times since.

Stacey soon realized she couldn’t direct the show and answer the phone too, so professional directors were brought in. Most summers saw two and sometimes three shows.

“I could barely keep out of the theatre for those three weeks,” she says. “I was just so into it. We opened up for tourists to drop in on rehearsals. Watching Allison [Girvan] or Geo� [Burns] direct was a show of its own.”

One trend she noticed was that slowly but surely it became socially acceptable for boys to take part.

“Joel Cottingham, Pat-rick Metzger and Rowan Tichenor all � ocked in about the same time,” she says. “It took a little while to get critical mass, but it became cool for our young people to be in theatre.”

� e summer program is still going strong: this year saw 55 kids audition, including many boys and many who are already stage veterans, having partici-pated for four or � ve years. While it was once thought the Capitol would support a professional troupe, it has instead become a teaching theatre, and Stacey has had the pleasure of watching her young charges blossom on stage and in some cases go on to professional careers.

“Pow moments,” she says. “And so many of them. Sarah Allen and Tom Middleditch pop up on TV from time to time.” (When interviewed recently, Stacey was reliving those days by typing the names of all 1,000 past performers into a database.)

� e Capitol’s other signature performance, the Christmas pantomime, actually began in 1987 in the Civic � eatre. Stacey, who did several pantos in Cranbrook, says the Capi-tol’s board told her “it’s a niche to � ll, a tradition to

start, and it’s really impor-tant to start these things in the � rst year.”

Stacey wrote the � rst show, A Kootenay Snow White, which she says wasn’t really a pantomime but did have a “cast of thousands.” � e director, Lorraine Havercro� , was a retired dance teacher who had been on Broadway and simply walked into the Capitol one day.

Since then Stacey says key leadership has come from Laurie Jarvis, a per-former or director in practi-cally every panto to date.

CULTURAL HUB

Over 17 years as manager, Stacey booked her share

of memorable touring acts, among them dancer Margie Gillis — who didn’t really tour; she just came to Nel-son — and tenor Michael Burgess, known for his performance in the Toronto production of Les Misera-bles. Burgess’ technical set-up, Stacey recalls, cost more than his fee. She convinced him to do a recital with his pianist, which “you could

hear three blocks away with only whispers. It was a fabu-lous show.”

She is especially fond of rising stars who played the Capitol just as they were beginning to take o� .

“I think you can name just about any Canadian group and we had them here,” she says.

By the end of her ten-ure, Stacey says the theatre had gone from “tentative to quite well established.” It was part of the city’s core and one of Nelson’s key summer attractions. While its programming has changed over the years, the Capitol continues to be a cultural hub, incubating everything from children’s theatre to community opera to the Corazon youth choir.

“I certainly believe it made a big di� erence,” Sta-cey says. “If you look at the scene now, you see Sydney Galbraith putting together Cabaret, the Amy Ferguson Institute sponsoring things like KHAOS, Richard Row-berry’s productions, and Je� and Liesl Forst working with small kids. It’s more alive than ever.”

Twenty-� ve years a� er it re-opened, what sort of reputation does the Capitol � eatre have?

“It’s known as a small theatre that brings in quite amazing tour-ing acts,” says manager Stephanie Fischer. “It’s known for the quality of what is on stage here.”

Patrons can trust they won’t waste their money on a Capitol show, she says, crediting the Nelson Over-ture Concert Society for helping to ensure that.

� e theatre is also known for its summer youth program and Christ-mas pantomime.

“You watch kids come very shy on the � rst day and two weeks later they’re fearless,” Fischer says.

“It’s a producing theatre,” says for-mer manager Margaret Stacey. “It’s not just a roadhouse or presenting theatre. It’s a combination. I think the founders wanted it to be like the motherhouse. � at’s how you build volunteers.”

� irdly, it is known for support-ing local groups who need space for productions.

“We really try to keep the rent af-fordable,” Fischer says.

“If you really charged what it was worth, they would never come,” Stacey con� rms. “� ey’d � nd every church basement they could.”

Last year the theatre had 109 shows and was occupied 193 days including rehearsal time but not including production, technical or board meetings. � is month alone there are 11 shows.

Kaslo and area residents have strongly endorsed a $1.6 million loan to build a new � re hall and turn their municipal � re department over to the Regional District of Central Kootenay.

Uno� cial results from Saturday’s referendum saw 456 residents vote yes and 242 vote no. Voter turnout was 64 per cent. � e result means an annual tax bill of up to $284,000. � e price tag included with the hall includes $400,000 to pay o� existing debt from equip-ment purchases.

Regional � re chief Terry Swan suggested the � nal cost could be lower depending on volunteer labour and com-munity sponsorships.

A separate referendum to enshrine � re response for

Ainsworth and Woodbury us-ing the existing Balfour-Har-rop and Kaslo departments also passed resoundingly, 57 to 8. � at represented a 67 per cent voter turnout.

Residents will pay up to $24,000 to formalize a ser-vice that has been provided on a contract basis the last two years.

� e present Kaslo � re hall, built in the 1970s, is attached to the village o� ce. It has no washrooms and doesn’t meet current building standards.

� e new hall is expected to be built next to the arena and have enough room to accommodate all emergency responders in Kaslo, includ-ing ambulance, search and rescue, and the coast guard auxiliary.

Kaslo acting mayor Jim Holland said he was pleased with the vote’s outcome, “and we are very commited to

bring this project in on time under budget.”

Rural Kaslo regional di-rector Andy Shadrack, who

spent four days last week go-ing door-to-door, called the outcome “a huge step for-ward” and said he was “look-ing forward to the new era.”

However, he also “heard loud and clear” concerns about the costs of the new Kaslo hall. “We’re still in the middle of a recession as far as I’m concerned,” he said.

Until now, Kaslo has pro-

vided contract service to the rural area between Ainslo Road and Cowan Road, but Shadrack says the village had the option of cancelling.

“Now the village and I will have one vote each inside a regional district service and jointly manage the assets and operation,” Shadrack said. “Day-to-day, the � re chief is still in control, but in terms of budget and policy, we’ll work together.”

Shadrack said long-term, they could look at providing � re response further north of Cowan Road, but for now the focus is on building the new hall and creating relation-ships with other emergency groups they hope to share space with.

He was impressed with the turnout, suggesting advance balloting for the provincial election Saturday may have helped get voters to the polls.

An overgrown cedar tree proved to be a � re hazard for a commercial build-ing in Railtown.

Nelson Fire Rescue responded to an exterior � re at � e Art of Brewing on Railway Street today at 11:30 a.m.

� e building tenant had done his best to extinguish the � ame, but the � re� ghters’ thermal imaging camera revealed some hot spots along the roo� ine, which they eliminated with foam and water.

Crews then went into the attic of the building and con� rmed the � re was fully suppressed.

In a media release, Nelson Fire Res-cue captain Je� Hebert noted that the

� re appeared to have originated in some cedar trees that were deteriorating the exterior of the building.

“Nelson Fire Rescue would like to remind the public of the � re hazard that ornamental conifer trees present to structures,” wrote Hebert, citing Fire Smart principles that suggest shrubs such as cedar and juniper be no closer than 10 meters from homes.

Six � re� ghters responded to the Rail-way Street � re, bringing with them one � re engine, one ladder truck, and one command vehicle.

� e � re is still under investigation.For more information on how you

Death in Rosemont steroid lab result of natural causes: Coroner

A man found dead inside a Rosemont home he’d been using as a steroid lab died of heart failure, according a cor-oner’s report released Friday.

Andrew John Meisner, 33, died early afternoon on Jan-uary 31 inside a Rosemont duplex where he lived alone with two pit bulls. Friends found his body the next day and called police.

The home was cordoned off for days for the police in-vestigation, which involved bringing in the RCMP’s clan-destine lab team from Sur-rey. Neighbours were briefly

evacuated.In March, Nelson Police

confirmed that steroids were being manufactured in the lab. Other substances were also found and are still under analysis by Health Canada.

The coroner’s report makes no mention of drug use as a contributing factor in the death.

The report said Meisner died of natural causes, specif-ically right ventricle dysfunc-tion (heart failure) caused by bilateral pulmonary throm-boembolism (blood clots in both lungs).

Other contributing factors listed included smoking and obesity.

A man, high on cocaine, called the Nelson Police Department on Friday claiming he was being chased though Lakeside Park by a man with a gun.

Officers found the heavily intoxicated 29-year-old at the soccer fields. He told police he had injected the drug shortly before contacting them about his hal-lucination.

Police say during the conversation the man tried to reach into his jacket pocket for a utility knife he was carrying with the blade extended, but an officer took it away before the man could reach it. The officer suffered a minor cut on his hand in the process.

Police arrested the man and took him back to the department to sober up. They also removed the man’s drug para-phernalia, including a bloody syringe, from the soccer field.

Police say anxiety and paranoia, as well as hallucinations, are common ef-fects of cocaine use.

MORE THAN A FENDER BENDER

Police had no trouble tracking down a drunk driver who was involved in a minor motor vehicle accident on his way to the liquor store.

Passersby saw the 30-year-old male driver hit another vehicle behind the Hume Hotel, then watched as he entered a nearby liquor store. He then returned to his vehicle and drove away.

A Nelson Police Department officer stopped the driver and tested him for impairment.

He was issued a 90-day roadside pro-hibition, a typical penalty for someone whose breath sample reveals over 0.08 blood alcohol content. He was also tick-eted for the accident and other viola-tions.

BAKER STREET BREAKDOWN

Last Wednesday morning, police received numerous calls regarding a man running around the downtown area screaming and throwing scaffold-ing about.

The man ran from police for several blocks but was eventually located in the 400 block of Lakeside Drive and was arrested without incident.

He was suffering from mental health issues and was taken to Kootenay Lake Hospital and asssessed by staff.

DRUNK AND HUNGRYA 50-year-old man is facing shoplift-

ing charges resulting from an incident at a local grocery store.

Police say the man was very drunk and verbally abusive towards both of-ficers and store staff. He was held for being drunk in a public place and also faces charges of theft.

Editorial

In the end it wasn’t even close, again. Incumbent NDP MLA Michelle Mungall took the Nelson-Creston riding with ease

on Tuesday night and it shouldn’t have come as much of a surprise.

In 2009, Mungall captured 54 per cent of the vote. As the Star went to press last night, Mungall made it once again look easy with 50 per cent of the vote (unofficial results).

Compared to some of the Nelson-Creston campaigns in recent years, all three of the can-didates this time around were worthy. Head-ing into Tuesday, it felt like it was a three-way race. Then they started counting the ballots.

Though we are still waiting for a poll-by-poll breakdown, it would appear voters in Nelson-Creston held strong to their core political beliefs.

The biggest move was by Sjeng Derkx and the Green Party. At press time Derkx had 21 per cent of the popular vote. A huge jump from 2009 when the Greens ran Sean Kubara and only mustered seven per cent.

Before the NDP political strategists in Van-couver paint permanent orange for Nelson-Creston on the map, Derkx’s result from this campaign might prove to be significant four years from now.

The problem for the Greens is paranoia. A great many people in this riding loathe the Liberals and feel a vote for the Greens is giving up too much to the real enemy. But if more people vote with their hearts instead of their heads in four years, the gap could close even more.

Until that time, the Nelson-Creston riding will continue to flap in the political hinter-land. With an MLA on the opposite side of power in Victoria, Michelle Mungall will face many distractions as her party desperately searches for answers in the coming months.

The voters in Nelson-Creston are stubborn, that was once again obvious on Tuesday night. That unwillingness to see past politics may once again cost us over the next four years.

I just returned from a 2,100 kilometer epic journey through

Washington and Oregon representing the Local Governments Commit-tee that is engaged in the Columbia River Treaty process. There was a con-ference in Vancouver, WA and we took the opportu-nity to learn more about our US neighbours and to educate them about us.

The Columbia River ties us together across the boundary and we learned that each com-munity along the way is passionately engaged in its relationship with the river.

The United States has been hosting “listening sessions” in communi-ties across the Basin with the intention of educating people about the Treaty and sharing the possible future scenarios or “itera-tions” that the Bonneville Power Corporation has developed.

Our first stop was a listening session in Pasco, WA. About 30 people were in attendance. The US has been building dams on the Columbia for many years prior to the Treaty dams. There are about 2,500 of them along the river, some privately owned while others are under state and federal jurisdiction.

The Treaty stipulates that Canada and the US share power generation profits from the four Treaty dams 50/50. This means that the US returns Canada’s share in the form of hydropower and BC Hydro can sell it to whoever they wish. Power prices have dropped in recent years because other energy sources have been

developed and natural gas is a cheaper alternative. In the past, the Canadian en-titlement was worth $250 to $350 million/year. More recently, it is about $100 million/year.

The Canadian entitle-ment is one of the Treaty stipulations that the US wants to renegotiate. It is their belief that they are paying too much and they estimate the entitlement at around $20 million/year. Canadian entities disagree with that assessment. In terms of flood control, it is estimated that the US would have incurred over $3 billion in damages in the last major flood had it not been for coordinated control efforts. This point promises to be a major is-sue in discussions.

From Pasco, we hit the road to Boardman, OR. The countryside is flat, very dry and the day was hot, in the high 30’s. Annual rainfall in some parts is seven inches/year. We saw a lot of lush, irrigated fields immediately adjacent to sagebrush with a variety of crops being grown includ-ing food crops, alfalfa, and a tree farm for lumber and paper production. Green-wood is a 30,000 acre tree farm that exports much of its product to the Asian market. Irrigation tech-niques vary, but what we noticed is that water is gen-erously used. This is made

possible through subsidies in power production mak-ing it cheap to pump from the river.

The Boardman group included county com-missioners, water project coordinators and port authority managers.

Farming is big business here and access to water is critical. The aquifers that were exploited in the 1950’s are drying up and Boardman is looking for federal permission to undertake a water project that will take water from the Columbia to replen-ish them. There are strict regulations around water being pumped out and the project may be denied.

The same scenario around water becoming more scarce was heard in our meeting the next day with people from the Moses Lake, WA area. People are noticing that the water table is dropping and that there are more frequent droughts. In both cases, requests were made to Canada for possible increases to water flow.

This was our oppor-tunity to educate people about what the impact of the dams has been and continues to be to our area. Canadian reservoirs provide 51 per cent of the storage capacity for the four treaty dams, a total of 15.5 million acre feet and Canada manages close to 9 million acre feet for flood control. That’s a lot folks.

The Canadian reservoirs are industrial reservoirs. They are operated to pro-duce the highest benefit for power production and flood control. This means the water level can drop up to 30 meters at a time

resulting in mud flats, dust storms and erosion. This means challenges to wild-life, recreation and tour-ism and a host of other issues.

Many of our US neigh-bours were not aware of this and wanted to learn more. We extended an invitation to Canada.

The next leg of the journey took us through greener landscape to Port-land, OR and a meeting with Michele DeHart, a bi-ologist for the Fish Passage Centre. Michelle has been a passionate advocate for the return of salmon to the Columbia for over 25 years and is currently working with the Okanogan Nation to return the sockeye on the Canadian side. She has strong views based on sci-entific research about how the management of the river needs to change for fish and the environment. Status quo is not part of her language.

The conference itself was a further education in what is happening to the Columbia. One of the most important discus-sion points was the need to look at the system as a whole, without boundaries to make the best decisions for the future.

People on both sides of the border realize that things have changed since the Treaty was signed in 1964 and they want other issues included as we move forward. Part of that change is developing a deeper understanding of where people live and what they think.

Letters to the Editor

I read with deep interest the letter in which the writer called belief in God, or at least in the church of the popes, a “Bronze Age ideol-ogy” (“Promoting bronze age thinking,” April 12).

She was critical of the new pope and his attitudes, and she particularly aimed at in-visible beings (divinities) and laws of a church, as I recall.

I am not a member of any faith community or religion,

but I suppose I am a theist; it is possible the writer of that letter is one also, or an agnostic. Or she is a self-declared atheist, keeping intellectual company with Richard Dawkins and the late Christopher Hitchens.

As I observe the planet, its crises both human and physical, its appearance of walking a brink, holding its breath on the threshold of catastrophic changes, I

wonder: can we cease arguing among ourselves about the non-essentials?

There are so many ways to expend one’s talents in the service of our species and others, of the earth and its ecologies — attacking one another’s beliefs seems so useless just now. Connec-tion, not separation from one another, will save us.

Charles JeanesNelson

In a country as rich as ours, why do so many working people live in poverty all of their lives?

Capitalism wants it that way. Many people get paid minimum wage. To prevent companies from having to contribute to EI, pen-sions or health care, many work-ers are hired on a part-time basis.

Also, as soon as people earn a little more than a government imposed level of revenue, govern-ment assistance is cut off, depriv-ing those people of improving their standard of living.

If it is a large company, and workers are asking what the CEOs think is a ridiculous raise (any raise is considered ridiculous

by management), the company declares bankruptcy, puts every-one out of work (they don’t get a pension because the company has already stolen that money), the CEOs withdraw some money for themselves from their off-shore accounts, and then they set up another company under a new name, using a pool of unemployed workers. By maintaining an “army of unemployed,” companies perpetuate the system of making workers so desperate, they will ac-cept any job, even part-time jobs, at minimum wage. And so, the circle is unbroken.

Funny all the same. Perhaps on June 1 you can do a story on the city government fining someone for having a couple of chickens in their yard.

How to prep your yard for summer parties Backyard soirees are a staple of summer for many families. Whether hosting a family reunion, a gathering of friends or a mix of both, such gatherings can be a great time to reconnect with your loved ones in a relaxing and natural setting.Hosting such gatherings might not require as much work as organizing a more formal get-together, but that doesn’t mean summer soirees don’t require a little work in advance of the guests’ arrival. That’s especially true if you plan to host the party outdoors in your yard, which will need a little TLC before guests arrive. The following are a few tips to get your yard ready before your next summer soiree.• Cut the grass and clear your walkways. Cutting the grass before guests arrive might seem like common sense, but try to do so a couple of days before the party. This gives you an extra day or so to clear the walkways of grass clippings, and it saves you the trouble of cutting the grass on the day of the party when you’re likely to have more pressing tasks to take care of.• Decorate your yard. Decorations are a staple of parties held indoors, so why not decorate your home’s exterior when hosting a get-together in the backyard? Use freshly cut fl owers from your own garden as centerpieces on your patio furniture, or purchase fl owers of various colors from your local fl orist to add a dash or two of color to the festivities.• Clear the yard of toys. Before guests arrive, clear the yard of the kids’ toys, putting them away so guests don’t injure themselves by stepping on errant action fi gures or skateboards left hidden in the grass.• Trim trees and shrubs around walkways. While a backyard barbecue is less formal than a party

held indoors, you still want your home to be as accommodating as possible for your guests. Don’t forget to trim trees and shrubs around the walkways so guests don’t feel like they’re on safari when coming to and from the backyard.• Make sure outdoor lighting is working properly. If you’re about to host your fi rst event of the summer, inspect your home’s exterior lighting so everyone isn’t left sitting in the dark. Check patio lighting and replace any bulbs and make sure the lights along your walkways are functioning at full capacity so guests can safely navigate their way around the party. You may even want to string holiday lights around the patio to create a more laid-back ambiance in which guests can relax without lights beating down on them.• Protect your guests from insects. Insects like mosquitoes can quickly turn a swinging soiree into a nuisance, so purchase some decorative citronella candles to repel mosquitoes. Tiki torches along walkways and around the patio furniture may also prove effective insect repellants. In addition, if there are any areas around your property where water has gathered, such as bird fountains or puddles from recent rains, do your best to get rid of that water. Water attracts many insects, which lay their eggs in the standing water. The less standing water around your property, the less likely any uninvited insect guests are to appear.

Backyard gatherings are a staple of summer. But even if such soirees are less formal, hosts still must survey their property and address any issues before guests arrive.

Warm weekends are prime time for yard work and outdoor projects. To avoid turning

tasks into turmoil, be sure to take a few extra moments to ensure the power tools you use are safe. Here are some tips to help ensure the safety of you and your family while doing yard work this weekend.

General Tips for Yard Maintenance* Ensure products such as electric lawnmowers, barbecues, power tools, ladders, decorative lights, extension cords and safety apparel carry the mark of a recognized or accredited certi� cation organization

* Protect yourself by wearing protective eyewear and footwear recognized by a certi� cation organization. Hearing protection should be worn when operating loud machinery, vehicles or tools.

Lawnmowers* Before mowing, take the time to remove objects in your yard that may obstruct your mower or be � ung by its rotating blades.* Never clear an obstruction in a running mower. If the mower is electric, turn o� the power and unplug the machine. If it’s gas, turn o� the power and make sure the engine isn’t running and that all safety

features have been activated.

Portable Power Tools* Never use a power tool that has a cracked casing, loose parts or frayed cords. Ensure all safety guards are in place and in proper working order.* Make sure the tool is turned o� before it’s plugged in or unplugged. Always unplug the tool before changing parts like drill bits or cutting blades.* Use only electric power tools that have either a three-prong plug or double insulation with a heavy enough gauge -- or wire size -- to handle the electricity load. Use an outlet with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter to protect against electric shock.

Extension Cords* Check extension cords for wear and damage before each use. Discard any cords that are frayed or have damaged insulation.* Never connect more than one extension cord together. Instead, use a single cord that is long enough to reach from the outlet to an appliance or tool.* When working outside, only use cords clearly labeled for outdoor use.* Never run an electrical cord through a doorway or under a carpet. If a cord becomes hot when plugged in, discontinue use immediately and replace with a heavier gauge cord.

Shortcuts to a lush lawn� ere are one million acres of lawn across the country. Many homeowners aspire to having a lush, green lawn as the showcase of their properties. � e front lawn can make a statement and indicate to passersby the property owners’ personalities and design preferences.

Lawn care takes some dedication and hard work, but there are certain ways to cut down on the amount of e� ort required to maintain a landscape. By employing a few di� erent shortcuts, you can have a healthy, lush lawn without spending all of your free time cutting the grass or pruning the trees.

• Stop weeds at the start - Weeding is one of the most time-consuming parts of maintaining a lawn. Weeds can proliferate throughout the lawn if not addressed in a timely manner. Once weeds take root they can become a nuisance, so it’s best to treat weeds before they even have a chance to sprout.• Waking up and watering in early mornings saves $$$• Mow when the lawn is dry & mow less o� en - it’s not adviseable to mow the lawn when it is wet. Slippery conditions can not only make it more dangerous to push a mower, but also slow down the time it can take to tackle the chore.• Let clippings � y - Mulching mowers, or those that just distribute clippings on the lawn as you go, can be healthier for the grass

Many homeowners are constantly on the lookout for ways to make their homes more environmentally

friendly. Such a pursuit is both noble because it helps the environment and practical because it o� en saves money. While there are many eco-friendly improvements homeowners make inside their homes, it’s important to note that there are several ways for men and women to be more environmentally conscious outside of their homes as well. Lawn care can be done in a way that’s conscious of the environment, and the results can be just as appealing as if the lawn were tended to without regard for the planet. � e following are just a few of the many ways homeowners can adopt more eco-friendly practices when tending to their lawns. * Be conscientious when watering. Overwatering a lawn is pretty common, especially during the dog days of summer, when homeowners try to overcompensate for hot days with excessive watering. � e growth of moss on sidewalks or the driveway is a telltale sign that you’re watering too much, as is a standing pool of water on the grass. Homeowners who � nd it di� cult to determine when their lawns have gotten enough water can purchase an intelligent irrigation control system that adapts your watering to a lawn’s needs as well as the weather. * Turn back the clock on your tools. Before gas mowers became the standard, man-powered push mowers were used to cut the grass. Such mowers still exist, and they require no fuel, making them a more eco-friendly option than their gas-powered counterparts.

* Stay local. If you need to plant new grass or you’re beginning a garden, then stick with local plants, � owers and grasses rather than more exotic options that are not native to your area. Plants, � owers and grasses that aren’t native to your region will require more maintenance and o� en more watering. � at added maintenance might prove to be a headache, and that excessive watering will not be bene� cial to the environment. Native plants, � owers and grasses have already adapted to your climate, and they can be provide just as much aesthetic appeal as more exotic alternatives. * Avoid pesticides whenever possible. Many homeowners treat their lawns with pesticides, which can make a lawn look beautiful. But that beauty typically comes at a steep price, impacting local wildlife and perhaps even the local water supply. When pesticides are applied to a lawn, the chemicals within may run o� into your local water supply. If you can’t avoid pesticides entirely, then do your best to minimize how o� en you use them. * Don’t let rain water go to waste. Rain barrels are a great way to make good use of rain. Rain barrels can be placed beneath a gutter’s downspout, where they will collect water that can be reused throughout your property to water the lawn and garden. Rain barrels can be relatively expensive, but over time they will pay for themselves as you save money on your water bill. Lawn care can be conducted in a way that bene� ts the environment as well as your bottom line.

� e Rossland Trail Roller Girls came all the way back from an early 40-plus point de� cit to secure an exciting 204 -167 win against the Dam City Rollers in eight-wheeled, West Kootenay Roller Derby madness at Selkirk College on Saturday.

� ere are a lot of fresh play-ers on the Rossland team this season as they now make up a blend of the former former Gnarlie’s Angels and Bad News Betties teams, but they showed true grit and composure as they raised their level of intensity to catch the Dam City squad late in the second half of the bouts and then pass them for the victory.

� e Selkirk gymnasium is a fun place for spectators to take in the derby matches as the wood � oor provided not just a slightly so� er fall for the ladies, but better grip for the wheels. � is translated into much faster

action than the concrete found at some other venues.

Because of the � ooring, the skaters all need to wear special knee pads and non-marking stoppers on their skates, but it sure didn’t slow them down.

A slightly reserved crowd at the start was fully into it as the last few laps played out.

Penalties were a key factor in the game, with the Dam City Rollers spending far too much time in the box late in the game.

� e evening was a double-header with the Valley Ven-dettas from Slocan taking on Salmo’s Babes of Brutality a� er the opening bout. � e Valley Vendettas took home their � rst ever win against the veteran Babes of Brutality team by a � nal score of 181-154.

During half-time, the league presented the Nelson and Dis-trict Women’s Centre with a cheque for $200, the � rst of what they hope will be monthly dona-tions to various organizations.

� e full-contact sport is not only athletic, but a smashing

blend of colourful characters and pop culture, with music and ongoing play-by-play that makes for an entertaining eve-ning out.

� e upstairs beer garden, constant prize giveaways and 50/50 draw are also added fan incentives.

Information at the West Kootenay Roller Derby web-site says that since 2009, they have grown to include six teams with over one hundred players from Salmo, Rossland, Castle-gar, Slocan City, Trail, Fruitvale, Kaslo, Ymir and Nelson.

West Kootenay Roller Derby is a not-for-pro� t roller derby league that is run by the skaters, for the skaters. � eir website is at kootenayrollerderby.com.

� e Dam City Rollers will be back in action at Selkirk Col-lege in Castlegar on Saturday, June 1 when they take on the Tournament City Derby Dolls from Kamloops and the Koo-tenay Kannibelles will go up against the Spokannibals from Washington State.

Bombers soccer o� to provincials

� e L.V. Rogers girls soccer team once again dominated their Kootenay competition to earn a spot in the upcoming BC High Schools Provincial AA Championships.

� e Bombers crushed both Stanley Humphries (Castlegar) and David � ompson Second-ary (Invermere) in the quali� er playdowns held in Creston last week.

The Bombers opened with a 10-1 win over Stanley Humphries and followed it up

with an 11-0 pummeling of Da-vid � ompson.

� e Bombers girls will now travel to Courtney on Van-couver Island at the end of the month to take on the best AA schools in the province. Last year the Bombers � nished 8th out of 16 teams.

Freshet causes concernLast week’s record high tem-

peratures in the West Kootenay have regional emergency pro-gram personnel warning about the possibility of � ooding in some parts of the area.

� e BC River Forecast Cen-tre has issued a high stream-� ow advisory for a number of watersheds in the Kootenay and Boundary regions includ-ing the West Kettle, Kettle, and Granby rivers to the west and the Slocan, Salmo, Moyie, and other small watersheds to the east.

� e advisory means that river and stream levels are rising or are expected to rise rapidly, but that no major � ooding is ex-pected. Minor � ooding in low-lying areas is possible, however.

Although snowpack levels in the region are at normal or near normal levels for this time of year that is apparently only one factor for the risk of � ooding. Forecasters also have to take

the rate at which the snowpack is melting into consideration.

April began with a brief hot spell but that was quickly reversed and much of the re-mainder was relatively cool, with limited rainfall.

Although the accumulated snowpack in the high country began to melt early on it actu-ally turned around mid-month and began to increase again.

� e sharp rise in tempera-tures since the beginning of May means that the accumu-lations have now begun to melt quite quickly potentially threatening high stream� ows

in some creeks and rivers.Regional emergency pro-

gram sta� recommend exer-cising extreme caution near river and stream banks and to watch out for large debris in rivers. High water levels can push logs and other material into the � ows presenting an increased hazard.

Forest � res were also spotted a� er high temperature records were set in several BC commu-nities in early May.

� e Southeast Fire Centre reported two � res discovered in late April, the larger one near the St. Mary’s Indian Reserve.

QWhat can your mind do for you?

A“All the world is a laboratory to the inquiring mind.” ~Martin H. Fischer

I love learning new things, do you? Some of the things are just for the sake of learning, so I understand them better and some are because I want to be able to do whatever that is. Fix my mountain bike, kayak effectively, speak a different language, and know how to work with different materials …… When I see someone doing something that I think is cool I ask a myriad of questions to understand it better. I buy books on the subject, ask questions of mentors and continually stretch and learn. To me that is imperative to my wellbeing (and my sanity).A while ago I read Chris Guillebeau’s book The Art of Non-Conformity. I loved it. In a nutshell it is about setting your own rules, living the life you wanting and ensuring that what you do has a positive impact on the world and the people around you. If you haven’t read it, I highly suggest that you do. He writes in an open, frank way that teaches, explores and plays with your mind.One of the chapters was about Graduate School vs Alternative Learning. He did a fabulous comparison chart as to what that experience had been for him, the costs, the learning, the peers – everything. He then followed it up with a great break down of what a 1 year; self-directed, alternative graduate school experience would look like if you wanted to create that for yourself.A few things really stuck out for me.How many of us can list off the names of every country and their capitals? I can’t. When I was in the States last week I had a tough time getting over 20 of the individual state names!How many of us speak more than one language effectively (no not just ordering beer and asking where the bathroom is)?How many books do you read a year and are they a mix of business, fiction and non-fiction?How many new skills do you acquire each year? I mean totally new, you have never done it before.He makes some great recommendations and some super easy fixes to continually learn and challenge your brain. For example, change your home page in your browser to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/special:randompage so every time your browser opens you learn something new. I’m trying it. It is quite amazing some of the things that have come up that I have learned.I think I am also going to buy a huge map of the world and put it on the kitchen wall and create a game around it for the kids, so they too can join me in learning new things.The mind is a wonderful thing and can create so many stories, adventures, inventions, things that the world needs, but like your physical body it too needs exercise. So what is one thing that you can do regularly to stretch your mind and keep learning? What one skill can you focus on learning for this last quarter of the year?

A � e average woman wears 515 chemicals a day and our skin absorbs 60 percent of any topical product we use!

� ere are a few major chemicals that can be found in beauty products that can be harmful to your health. Be sure to read labels and ingredients prior to purchasing and using all beauty products including nail polishes, makeup and skin care.

Toluene is a petroleum by-product found in nail polish and cosmetics. � is neurotoxin can a� ect brain function and the central nervous system. It can interfere with normal fetal and childhood development. Toluene may appear on ingredients labels as phenylmethane, methylbenzene, or toluol.

Synthetic Formaldehyde is a Volatile Organic Compound that is highly toxic and o� en found in nail polish and hair relaxer. VOC’s vaporize causing indoor air pollution. � is one is toxic to the liver and carcinogenic. Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen. Causes allergic, irritant and contact dermatitis, headaches and chronic fatigue.

Aluminum is a widely used toxic metal that can be found in virtually everything from antiperspirant deodorant to nasal spray and shampoo. Aluminum can cause severe harm to the human nervous system. To rub such products under the arms is inviting the absorption of these harmful chemicals, which many believe will inevitably lead to cancer or neurological problems (such as Alzheimer’s disease).

Parabens are synthetic preservatives used regularly in cosmetics, personal care products, and event baby’s lotion. Parabens have been linked to interruption of normal endocrine system functioning and severe allergies. Parabens are usually easy to identify by name, such as methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, or benzylparaben.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is an industrial chemical designed to clean and create foam. � is detergent is typically found in shampoo, liquid soap and toothpaste. Depending on manufacturing processes, sodium lauryl sulfate may be contaminated with measurable amounts of ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane. Ethylene oxide is known as a human carcinogen and 1,4-dioxane as a possible human carcinogen. Ethylene oxide can also harm the nervous system.

Synthetic Fragrance is made with petrochemical-based oils, these chemicals namely phthalates are found in soap, lotion, shampoo, deodorant, conditioner and perfume. Phthalates have been linked to hormone disruption.

Choose products that are free of toxins, synthetic preservatives and arti� cial fragrance, color and mineral oils.

AI was recently out and about doing some groceries, and a local business owner asked me this question. The simplest answer is:

*** Pricing a property correctly from the start. Of course there are other factors at play; however this one is paramount.

If you’ve been trying to sell your property for awhile, & there doesn’t seem to be much interest; it’s time to ask why? Sit down with your Realtor® & analyze the situation. *** You must be open to hearing the answers in order to attain your goal.

Have you had many prospective Buyers come to see your house? If not, find out why? Ask your Realtor® for some current market data to see where your property sits in the housing market at this time. Find out how many days on average a home is on the market before it sells. Is your home priced accurately? How is your property being marketed? Does your home look appealing on the MLS website & during showings? Are there some quick fixes and affordable solutions that may showcase your home better?

Take the emotion out of the equation, and look at your property as a stranger might see it. Remember what attracted you to your property in the first place and make some notes. Discuss these things with your Realtor® and have your ideas incorporated into their marketing strategy. Try and listen to the advice and expertise your Realtor® is offering you. They are on your team and trying to sell your home and get you on your way to the next chapter that awaits you. Make your property a STAR (Stand out, Transform, Attract, and Return on your Investment) if you have further questions, don’t hesitate contacting me.

QWhy do some properties seem to stay on the Market for years?

QWhat does Wabi Sabi mean?

AAt lunchtime I was flipping through some reading lists and random pages and came across the phrase Wabi-Sabi. What a great phrase!

Thinking back to movies such as “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, it would be the perfect phrase to say before flying through the air to land a most perfect round house kick, whilst balanced on a bamboo stick 40 feet in the air. Or maybe it is an exotic delicious, divine sushi I have never heard of ! I love sushi, thus a Wabi-Sabi must be a new lovely roll filled with rice, perhaps some Ahi Tuna, hopefully it has avocado as they are nectar from the gods, with a delicious dollop of Wasabi rolled up into it. I wonder what else is in it?So I did a little digging, once I got over my initial shock that it wasn’t a delicious new sushi roll that I could make; I giggled with delight when I started reading what the phrase meant. It was perfect and fun and delightful.Pared down its barest essence, Wabi-Sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature, of accepting the natural cycle of growth, decay and death. It’s simple, slow and uncluttered and reveres authenticity above all. It celebrates cracks and crevices and all the other marks that time, weather and loving use leave behind. Through Wabi-Sabi, we learn to embrace liver spots, rust, and frayed edges, and things maybe not being or playing out as we think they should. Wabi-Sabi is underplayed and modest, the kind of quiet, undeclared beauty that waits patiently to be discovered. It’s a fragmentary glimpse: the branch representing the entire tree, shoji screens filtering the sun, the moon 90 percent obscured behind a ribbon of cloud. It’s a richly mellow beauty that’s striking but not obvious, that you can imagine having around you for a long, long time-Katherine Hepburn versus Marilyn Monroe. For the Japanese, it’s the difference between kirei-merely “pretty”-and omoshiroi, the interestingness that kicks something into the realm of beautiful.How delicious is that?To come to a place whether in relationship, work, writing, creating, taking a photo, trying a new sport – instead of being fixated on what is not perfect, we embrace the imperfect and see the beauty in it.So I wish you all Wabi-Sabi!

QAre you ready for camping season?

AWhat you need to know before towing a recreational trailer...

Most recreational trailers have a GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight - the

weight of the trailer and its load) of less than 4,600 kg and may be driven by a driver who holds a class 5 or 7 Driver’s Licence.

If the towing vehicle or trailer is equipped with air brakes, an air brakes endorsement to the Driver’s Licence is required before the vehicle or trailer can be operated.

If you want to tow a recreational trailer (or any trailer) that has a GVW of more than 4,600kg, you are required to apply for either a higher class of Driver’s Licence or an endorsement to your existing class. � is will involve a knowledge test and road test. To know for sure, you should contact a Driver’s Licensing O� ce like our Castlegar Downtown or New Denver o� ces so they may assist you in determining what you require for your speci� c situation.

It is your responsibility to ensure you have the appropriate drivers licence and driving skills for the trailer you are towing. If you do not have the proper licence, you can be ticketed and may be in breach of your insurance in the event of a crash.

If you aren’t sure of the weight of your recreational trailer, take it to a weigh scale, fully loaded, and have it weighed at no charge. For more information please call any Driver’s Licensing O� ce like our New Denver(250-358-2617) or Castlegar Down Town (250-365-3392) o� ces.

Music students off to Toronto

A group of 39 L.V. Rogers band students will be heading to Toronto this morning to at-tending Music Fest Canada.

“They kids are getting really excited about it now,” said Tim Bullen, head of the LVR band program.

The national festival is the biggest in Canada hosting 9,000 kids in 250 bands.

Bullen’s students from grades 9 through 12 make up three bands.

The concert band will per-form Morning in Madrid, Chimes of Liberty and Mystery on Mena Mountain.

The jazz band performs Chimps on the Loose, Sir Duke, Groove Maker and Someone to Watch over Me.

And the smaller jazz combo band will present Black Or-pheus, Take Five, Yardbird Suite

and their vocalist will perform Georgia on my Mind.

The students have been working toward this goal since September, said Bullen.

“They’ve been going at it for a long time,” he said. “This is kind of our play-off series.”

LVR traditionally attends this annual competition.

In addition to performing at the music festival, the students will tour the city and take in the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.

QHow Can Massage Therapy Help You?

AThe Power of therapeutic touch is not something to be overlooked! Massage can be a wonderful tool onyour path to wellness. Massage can be

used preventatively; it helps treat a variety of issues and it assists in your overall health. Research has shown that massage can be helpful for:

• Anxiety/Stress • Digestive Disorders• Soft Tissue Injury (ex: whiplash, muscle tears, sports injuries)• Inflammatory Conditions • Overuse Injuries • Pain • Syndromes/Headaches• Nervous System Disruption (ex: numbness/tingling)• Support during Pregnancy

The benefits of massage are vast and are not limited to this list! There are a variety of massage techniques originating from many parts of the world that are used by many different professionals. In North America the most common is a combination of Swedish, deep tissue, trigger point, and fascial techniques. Swedish massage is quite general and uses long, gentle strokes to relax your body and promote circulation. Deep tissue massage is a more specific, direct technique that focuses on a specific muscle or muscle group to promote healing.

Trigger point technique is a very specific technique where pressure is applied to “knots” or hyperirritable spots in the muscles or connective tissue to aid in returning the soft tissue to a healthy state. Fascial techniques are done without oil or lotion. The connective tissue is encouraged to relax into its healthy shape through lifting, rolling and torqueing. There are two vital components in choosing massage therapy as a tool on your path to wellness:

1. Finding the right therapist for YOU! It is important to not only get along with your therapist but also to find a therapist who is professional, knowledgeable, effective, and attentiveto your story. Don’t be afraid to try a new therapist if you need a change. 2. Remember it’s YOUR massage!

Be an advocate for your own health. If there are components of your treatment that you don’t understand or are unsure about let your therapist know. That’s how the perfect therapeutic relationship is created.

QHow can a magazine flourish with NO ADVERTISING?

Michael ChesneyOwner Comment Canada<the magazine you can’t put down>

AIf you are reading this, chances are that you or someone you know has read Comment Canada, the new magazine with the Peace Clown on the cover. Comment, formerly Kootenay Times Magazine, is produced in Nelson BC by

a hardworking team of researchers, writers, photographers and archivists and is being distributed throughout the Kootenays and beyond to the far flung corners of the planet. The goal of this new quarterly publication is to create the most interesting “alternative” publication in Canada by publishing articles from the public... You!In the age of “muffin mix” journalism and hyper-advertising we

are witnessing the dumbing down of the daily and the decline of the magazine as we know it. The quest for “the Benjamins” has superceded the importance of information so we see a fairly mean average across the bored. Comment Canada is committed to publishing a magazine that accumulates interest daily so we are investing our own “hard earned” in hopes that our subscribers will do the same. There is 100% “no advertising” within the pages of Comment and your copy will be delivered every 3 months or 4 times a year. Our first issue, The Peace issue 001, is now on the streets and we have been getting a lot of positive feedback from the public which is most inspiring as we chop away at the summer / festival issue, which we hope you will help us write it. We have included our topic list in the space beside in order to inspire you. Our maximum word count is 150 words and our annual subscription fee is $60 for four issues. We look forward to your peace and your love. You help us write it. We print it. Find us on facebook. You don’t have to like us to read us. Publishing June 21 2013 :002

QGood Debt versus Bad Debt.

Derek DienerMortgageBroker

Office (250) 229-5711Cell (250) 505-5850 Fax (888) 628-2867

[email protected]

ANot all debt is created equal… the difference lies in how it helps – or hurts – your pursuit of your financial goals.

Some debt can be seen as an investment in one’s future: • Borrowing money to maximize your RRSP contributions. • Loans with tax-deductible interest to earn investment income. • Borrowing to acquire an asset that may increase in value, such as your home or a rental property. • Student loans that enable you to get an education leading to a good career. However, other types of debt can act as a fiscal drag, limiting future opportunities: • Revolving consumer debt with high rates of interest, such as maintaining balances on credit cards or department store cards. • Buying something that will depreciate using borrowed funds. • Cash advances on your credit card. Interest is charged right from the date of your advance. • Making deferred consumer purchases (i.e. “do not pay until 2014”) where the cost of the item includes financing charges. Ultimately identifying the difference between “good debt” and “bad debt” will help you to make smarter decisions when it comes to purchasing. If you require financing to purchase something that has potential for appreciation, tax benefits or personal growth, go for it. Pay cash for the depreciating assets and material items that are not needed to live.As a independant mortgage professional, I work for you not the bank and always have YOUR best interest in mind. Talk to me to better understand your borrowing situation and to find solutions that fit your needs.

Quick response helps minimize kitchen fire damage

The Nelson Fire Depart-ment was called to Fairview last Thursday after receiving reports of a kitchen fire.

At 12:28 p.m. two on-duty members and one additional firefighter responded.

“Upon arrival of the first crew, no visible fire was observed,” said Capt. Jeff Herbert in a press release.

All occupants of the home

were safely out on the street and the crew’s primary objec-tive was minimizing damage to the home.

“Crews encountered a small fire that was able to be contained to the oven,” he said.

Smoke was removed from the home using positive pres-sure ventilation.

“Nelson Fire Rescue would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone to ensure they have working smoke detectors,” said Herbert.

Richard was born in High River, Alberta on May 2nd, 1931. His parents moved the family to Nelson in 1948. In 1952 he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force – and was stationed in Winnipeg, Manitoba and then Cold Lake, Alberta.

After his military service, Richard returned to Nelson where he and his wife Josephine raised their sons, Dennis and Murray.

In 1969 he purchased Coleman Electric from his friend, Hank Coleman and ran the business until his early retirement in 1979.

In 1976 he married Joyce Trudeau. They moved to Gabriola Island in 1979. There they were blessed with a son, Jonathan. In 1990 the family moved to Mara, where they enjoyed many happy years.

Richard loved trains and airplanes. He had an incredible model railroad that incorporated an airbase. He flew a tri-pacer until his move to the Island, but took up flying again in an ultra light when liv-ing in Mara.

Sadly, Joyce passed away in 2009, and much of Richard’s enjoyment in life seemed to go with her. He went to join her on December 21st, 2012.

Murray, Jonathan and families invite friends to join us at a Memo-rial Service on Saturday, May 18th, beginning at 1:00 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall in Nelson, where we will share fond memories, tender smiles, and ..... a few tears.

Youth make a statementCranbrook youth band

The Good Ol’ Goats were the big winners in this year’s Kootenay Music Awards.

The six-piece bluegrass band, whose members range in age from 16 to 17, was named Artist of The Year, as well as Best Roots and Blues artist. Too young to legally enter Spiritbar in Nelson, where the awards were hand-ed out Friday night, one of the band member’s dad ac-cepted the trophies on their behalf.

Kootenay Music Award nominees were shortlisted by a panel of five music in-dustry pros, then the public had a chance to vote daily online for their favourites. The awards went to the artists who collected the most votes.

More young talent was highlighted in the Best New Artist category, with 18-year-old Selkirk College music student Dylann Heidi tak-ing the title.

Other winners included Fernie’s Shred Kelly in the

Song of the Year and Best Live Act categories. Nelson’s Brian Rosen won Album of The Year for his 2012 release Choose Your Choice.

Nelson’s Thus Far won Best Rock/Punk/Metal; Castlegar’s Motes and Oats received Best Country/Folk; Nelson’s Yan Zombie took home Best Electronic Pro-

ducer; and Nelson’s Rafferty Funksmith was named Best DJ.

Nelson music promoter Paul Hinrichs, formerly of The Royal, was also recog-nized with a special award for all all the big name bands he’s brought through the city in the past year.

This wraps up the sec-

ond annual Kootenay Music Awards, presented by Nel-son Brewing Company and Black Press. Proceeds from the awards support a founda-tion that gives scholarships to musicians.
