A bowl, a butter knife and serving spoons have new meaning for Mandy Bath and Christopher Klassen since the devastating landslide tore through their Johnsons Landing home.

As the recovery process continues in the community, Bath and Klassen have been working with the help of an excavator to recover bits of the life they lost in the slide.

“We found a few things,” said Bath. “It’s been sort of heartbreaking to see the incredible destructive power of the two landslides and what they did.

Things aren’t just broken they’re pulverized. It’s terrible to see.

We’ve found the odd thing. All the crockery is broken except for one bowl. That one bowl is a survivor and it means a lot to find these little things. We’ve found a butter knife and a couple of serving spoons that were very dear to me because they were quite old.”

Below Assessed Value: $776,000 Nelson’s Best Burger Contest

The perfect burger balance MEGAN COLE Nelson Star Reporter

Hot off the unveiling of their new windows, Finley’s Irish Pub has brought light to a new menu featuring a huge list of delicious burgers.

Even though they are highlighting their new garlic and brie, and havarti and basil burgers as part of the Nelson’s Best Burger contest, at the core of every burger are a few simple things.

“We have put some serious care and attention in our burgers,” said owner Tanya Finley. “We’ve taken a lot of time to really develop our menu this year. That has been our primary focus and our chefs are happy when they are making those burgers, so they come out with love.”

In addition to the heart behind the burgers is the ingredients themselves which are locally sourced first, and then from elsewhere in Canada.

“Alberta beef is really important because it is the best in Canada,” said Finley. “You want to have the juiciness and perfection of the Alberta beef. It’s never frozen and we have a variety of burgers which go from the classically simple to the fancier garlic and brie burger.”

Finley’s chef said while the beef is obviously vital to a great burger, balance is key.

“Our chef thinks the key to a great burger is the balance between the fresh

Finley’s has beefed up its burger menu, bringing much more variety.

raw ingredients, like the crispy lettuce and thinly sliced onion, and the toasted bun and the melted cheese that complement the juicy burger. The balance between the bun and the burger must be perfect,” she said.

The new menu was made in collaboration with a chef from Sysco Canada.

In the development of new options, Finley’s began incorporating new flavours to the patty itself.

“We went to Alberta beef and we also added in new herbs and spices into the patty instead of just having the patty itself,” she said. “People seem to really like having basil and other flavours added in there. Using the market has been a really great help to have more local ingredients.”

Recognizing the dietary concerns of their customers, Finley’s has also provided a gluten-free bun as an option for those with celiac and there is also a delicious vegetarian option.

“We hear from our customers that our burgers are juicy, fresh,” said Finley.

“Our vegetarian burger is really popular because it’s a unique option. The cod burger is really good too. Our customers are really happy with the size of the burger which comes with the criss-cross fries and salad.”

Finley’s is competing with Relish, Jackson’s Hole, the Hume Hotel, Bite, Kootenay Time, Uptown Tavern and Bogustown. To vote for Nelson’s Best Burger visit nelsonstar.com and click on the contests tab.

Carving out a burger niche MEGAN COLE Nelson Star Reporter

Even though Kootenay Time is new to Nelson’s culinary landscape, they are quickly and passionately carving themselves a niche for local diners.

Their Home Burger, which is in the running for Nelson’s Best Burger, offers up a delicious and affordable alternative.

“We’re trying to create the affordable burger and as it turns out, it’s super tasty because there is a lot of meat it,” said Kootenay Time owner Michael Chesney.

When it comes to creating a great burger, Chesney said there two important parts: the burger and the bun.

“It’s got to be a really awesome patty that’s super beefy with no mixture in it, just spices and a really hot bun,” he said. “To me that’s the topper, if a burger doesn’t have a really hot bun I’m sad

Kootenay Time’s Home Burger is in the running to be Nelson’s best.

because I’m waiting for that burger moment that we’re all searching for. I was inspired by the St. Catherine’s burger in Montreal. It’s the classic dollar burger on the road, so what we are trying to deliver is that you can drive by and pick up as many as you want at one time.”

For the beef in Kootenay Time’s Home Burger, Chesney went to Creston where he’d found his dream burger, but admits that he’s never met the creators of the delicious patty.

“We get it from a secret location in Creston,” he said.

“It’s Creston beef, produced

by people who are doing it up there with a Doukhobor tradition behind them. We are middling the burger you could say because I found my dream burger there. I could never top the way those guys do them. I’ve never met them it’s so secret.”

In addition to the Home Burger — which is topped with fried onions, relish, ketchup and mustard along with lettuce and tomatoes — Kootenay Time offers a portabello mushroom burger and kids burger.

“We also offer a great burger alternative with our portobello mushroom burger which is a whole cap,” said Chesney. “We’re creating a whole line of burgers and we have more burgers coming out this fall. It’s a fully loaded burger and we use the Ebesse Zozo sauce in various heats going up to the super hot.”

News Nelson’s Second World War Hero

New Hampton Gray monument unveiled in Japan GREG NESTEROFF Nelson Star Reporter

A new monument in Onagawa, Japan dedicated to Nelson’s Lt. Robert Hampton Gray was unveiled Friday, symbolizing in part the community’s strides since a devastating earthquake and tsunami struck 17 months ago.

Gray, a pilot, was shot down in Onagawa Bay during the final days of World War II — the last Canadian killed in action during that war. He was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross.

Townsfolk erected a monument in his honour in 1989 in Sakiyama Park, overlooking Gray’s final resting place.

However, following last year’s earthquake, the cliff face cracked and eroded into the bay, knocking the monument over.

The granite cairn survived but the plaque went missing.

A crane operator volunteered to move the cairn to a new site and a local stone mason offered to mount a new plaque, recreated by Canadian military experts.

The new monument still overlooks the bay, but from a small piece of land in front of the town’s hospital, near a new memorial to the victims of the tsunami. Its bronze plaque calls for the “peaceful repose of the souls of all those who died in battle.”

Attending the re-dedication ceremony were members of the Kanda family, instrumental in erecting the

Capt. Bruce (Skip) Walker conveyed greetings to Onagawa from Nelson mayor John Dooley, and to the Kanda family from Gray’s sister, Phyllis Gautschi. In remarks printed in the official program, Walker said the

ceremony was very special.

“It is more than a monument to a great Canadian,” he said.

“It goes beyond the symbol of the friendship and bonds that have grown between Onagawa and the Embassy of Canada in Tokyo, with Nelson, with Canada.

“Today shows that Onagawa is recovering from the devastation of March 11, 2011 ... We cannot forget the tragedy of March 11, like we cannot forget the events of

World War II, but like then, with positive attitudes and strong will, we can overcome the loss, the destruction, and the tragedy and work together to build something stronger and better.”

Walker also quoted former mayor Suda Zenjiro who spoke at the original monument’s unveiling 23 years ago.

“We must not allow the recurrence of our sad experiences but we must learn from them,” Zenjiro said.

Nelson Star Staff

A man arrested in Nelson this month has been returned to Saskatchewan to face outstanding warrants.

Maxwell Thomas Bell, 22, was picked up August 4 after RCMP responded to a complaint of drunken men on Granite Road.

He ran from police and gave them a false name, but they eventually caught

up with him, learned his identity, and found that he was wanted in Kindersley, Sask. for several crimes including assault, assault with a weapon, pointing a firearm, using an imitation firearm while committing an indictable offence, and failing to appear in court. They offences stemmed from an incident in October 2011.

He was also wanted in Saskatoon for breach of an undertaking.

RCMP say his criminal record dates

back to 2008.

Bell pled guilty in BC to escaping custody and obstructing a police officer, and has been sent back to Saskatchewan as part of a fugitive return program.

The program is managed by the RCMP and funded by the civil forfeiture office.

Since last September, it has helped return 24 people from BC to other provinces where there were warrants for their arrest.

Residents appreciative, but impatient Continued from Page 1 One of the most surprising discoveries came when Klassen, after locating their house that had been lifted and moved from its foundation by the slide, dug down around the four corners of the house to find their car in the basement.

“The house had been pushed off of its foundation, but they found the points of the corners of the house and excavated in just the right place and went right down to the basement and there they found the car of all things,” said Bath.

“The car had rolled and turned, and the house had moved. The car had fallen into the basement and was laying on top of [Klassen’s] tool chest and somewhat protecting them, as much as a heavy car can do that. It was weird to dig down and find your car buried in your basement.”

Though many of Klassen’s tools are rusted and destroyed, some will be salvaged.

As the weeks have passed since the slide, Klassen and Bath, like other members of the small community are looking at what comes next.

On Monday, Bath said the excavator would likely be refilling the hole it dug and once they’ve gathered every bit of leftover insulation and debris, they hope to make the property a memorial.

“We want it to become a memorial site because in there is not only obviously our dear cat who died, but also the ashes of the lady who built the house,” said Bath.

“Her ashes along with the ashes of my father-in-law, Christopher’s father were on the mantelpiece. We feel like it’s a triple grave site. We hope when it’s smoothed over, we will turn it into a place where we can be and know what’s under there and commemorate them. That will take a while, but we will plant grass and trees and try to make it beautiful again. That’s obviously the long term view.”

Many members of the community who were directly effected by the slide are slowly having utilities like hydro, phone and water returned to them.

bers of the community to restore water.

“I was just at a meeting with my neighbour,” said O’Keefe on Monday afternoon.

“We were talking about the next steps on the water system and that was about two and a half hours that we sat and had that discussion.

In some sense it is what life would normally be like, but the time that I would normally spend doing the other things in my life has been abbreviated because of all the other needs that we have to take care of.”

She said there is one permanent home, a rental home and the residences of some part-time members of the community who are still without water.

“I would have to say all the water restoration that has been done so far is all temporary at this time,” said O’Keefe.

While the community is optimistic about the future, she said the residents are exhausted and very stressed.

“Everybody is pretty much getting on with their lives and trying to make the best of it,” she said. “It is a lot of adjustments to make.

There is a lot of grief to deal with in terms of people we’ve lost either through death or through properties being wiped out and displaced.

There is a whole new environment and community structure to adjust to because we lost people in our community so dynamics change.

We still have lots and lots of work to do.”

Since the slide, there have

been various government agencies and organizations involved in the recovery and emergency relief of the community.

While some aspects of the work done by the Regional District of Central Kootenay and the province has been appreciated and applauded by the community, O’Keefe said in some cases it is a little slow and confusing.

“It is definitely a long tedious process when there are a lot of different groups involved,” she said.

“One of the main things for us at the present time is the fact that almost every decision that we need to know about in order to get on with our lives, and in some cases for people who are displaced to get on with their lives depends on the geo-tech assessment, that isn’t going to be completed until spring. That is an awful long time to wait for answers.”

O’Keefe said the response from the surrounding communities including supplies, materials, money and energy in terms of volunteers has been appreciated.

“The community has been so supportive and that has done a great deal to hold us together,” she said.

In the weeks following the slide, the regional district has been responding to various issues from the community.

“First there was the emergency stage and now they are in the recovery stage and they are looking at some longer term things. Some things are unmet needs of people who were effected and are yet to get help,” said RDCK

recovery manager Deb Borsos. “We have also been addressing issues around access and roads at various points in the community. Long term water is another one they are looking at.”

There is still an evacuation order in effect for the area even though the boundary has been moved since the slide.

The regional district has also been getting belongings back to residents who were displaced from their homes.

There are people inside the evacuation zone, who never left following the slide and Borsos said there are unique issues in dealing with those residents.

“The people that are in the evacuation zone and chose to stay are still there and some of them are looking at power issues, getting power back and access is limited,” she said.

“The ones that are in there are there and are getting by.

There is only one house that is missing all utilities.”

In the coming weeks, Borsos said there are a two important things that will happen.

“There will potentially be some slide remediation,” she said. “There is going to be a workshop about that in mid-October and that will be good. I can’t really say a timeline, but getting the geo-techs going is vital to moving forward. They need to go in and get their work done so they can do their report and that information will be valuable in going forward in making decisions around the slide and what happens with it.”

The passion and the patties

PICTURES from our

t’s a staple of the North American diet. A sandwich thrown together more than 120 years ago that is arguably the world’s most recognizable menu item.

Think of the word “hamburger” and it’s likely your vision is different than the person standing next to you. That’s because individuals and restaurants have taken the simple concept of meat slapped between two halves of a bun to entirely unique and tasty levels.

Nelson is rich in its dining choices. There are few towns of our size that offer such a great variety of quality experiences. Yet, in this eclectic mix the burger can be found on almost every menu.

Earlier this summer the Nelson Star and {vurb} started a quest to find Nelson’s best burger. In a website contest we have been asking readers to vote for their favourite creation amongst the eight participating restaurants — Bogustown, Rel•ish, bite, Finley’s, the Hume Hotel, Jackson’s Hole and Grill, Uptown Tavern and Kootenay Time Burger Emporium. The votes have been rolling in and on September 7 we will announce the winner on the front page of {vurb}.

It may be a very Canadian thing to say, but this contest is not really about winning. Over the last few weeks, Star reporter and {vurb} editor Megan Cole has been profiling the burgers on Page 3 of the paper. Cole has introduced the entries in the contest, but more importantly she has captured the personalities of those behind the patties.

In describing their entries, the eight restaurant owners have enthused about what makes their burgers the best. If you have been following along, it’s that passion that really wins the day. Knowing that we have restaurateurs in this community who care so much about what they deliver helps us understand just why this community’s eatery options are so great.

Voting for the contest closes on Saturday.

Head to the contest tab at nelsonstar.com to make your choice. And while you’re there, click on the business tab to find the eight profiles. It’s there you will discover the ultimate winners of Nelson’s Best Burger.

t seems that summer is a time of conversations and connections.

People are outdoors working, recreating and exploring new places.

I live in Uphill, in a great neighbourhood that has seen some changes in the last few years with people coming and going.

I spoke with two of my neighbours — David Reid and John Alton about having a casual gathering in the park for people to get to know each other. These two master connectors immediately jumped on the idea and we had a potluck in the park.

We weren’t sure how many people would come, but come they did and suddenly the neighbourhood was buzzing and connected. It was a perfect blend of old and new faces with a tremendous diversity in talents and interests. People spoke about gardens, what was happening in the park and new

friendships were forged.

We discussed larger community issues and I received some excellent insights into what people are thinking.

The first gathering was so successful, there was another. Ideas are already being tossed around for more possibilities and perhaps next a neighbourhood garage sale?

I know that communities are safer and healthier when neighbours know and speak to each other.

This translates into fewer conflicts and fosters ideas about making communities better. Nelson has always had a strong tradition of connectedness, but as neighbourhoods change and grow it is easy to let those connections go.

I’d like to hear more about how other neighbourhoods are managing the changes we see and what you have done to get to know some of the new people in town.

Another strong connector in our community is Delyse Sylvester. Delyse has been working with the Ashoka Foundation and with the BC Ideas project most recently. A few of us met with BC Ideas staff to discuss interesting and innovative business ideas that are changing our community. This team is interested in connecting projects with funders and in connecting the people with great ideas to other communities here and across the globe. For example, the Kalien Hospice Society is looking to develop a palliative care and hospice center. It so happens that Powell River is working on a similar idea.

We were able to identify a good number of local projects for submission before September 12.

I would strongly encourage you to check out the website and submit your idea for consideration. Go to changemakGreg Nesteroff Reporter

ers.com/community/ bcideas/ I’ve been thinking a lot about how communities, especially ours, change and grow over time.

Do you recall when the first Gay Pride week proclamation was requested in Nelson and the controversy that resulted? We’ve come a long way since then in thinking about diversity, acceptance and vibrancy.

Pride week as it’s known now is coming up next weekend and I’m proud to have been invited to perform in the play 8 on August 31 at the Capitol Theatre. The play is about California’s proposition 8 and gay marriage. Community connector Michael Graham has called many of us together to share the stage in this thought provoking play.

I’m inviting you to come out, join in the week’s activities and meet your neighbours.

Letters to the Editor

The members of the Kootenay Lake Hospital Foundation would like to thank the following businesses and individuals for their support of the 11th Annual Legacy Golf Event.

Crushed but still determined It has been two weeks since the Cyswog ‘n’ Fun triathlon and I still can’t leave my house without having to explain why I walked away from the race after being told I wasn’t allowed to do the long course, despite having done the long course multiple times before with nothing but encouragement from the organizers. I have been asked to write this letter by many people who are quite upset about it all.

The race director mentioned nothing about safety as he knows I would never start a race I wasn’t fully confident about being able to finish. The bottom line was time... time, time, time right across the board. My swim.

My bike. My run. Time was all that mattered. He even told me I was a hero to him, but still wouldn’t let me compete in the long course.

It all seemed so hypocritical to me. Since the first time I competed in 2003 so much emphasis was put on the fun aspect of the race, and it was always pointed out as why they incorporated fun

into the name — “Cyswog ‘n’ Fun.” That may have been true in the past, but if this year’s triathlon is any indication, fun has lost its meaning as it has become a resultsoriented race.

The bottom line was time... time, time, time right across the board. My swim.

My bike. My run.

Time was all that mattered.

I was both crushed and furious when I was told I wasn’t allowed to complete in the Olympic distance race. I was too mad to do the sprint under those conditions (I need every bit of mind strength to drag my pain-filled body through each triathlon I do).

I race because I love it and for no other reason. I wasn’t letting them take that from me so I went and swam 3.5 km the same day while they were doing their awards as well as a ride and a run. I

have since done another 2.2 km swim, 90 km bike, 10 km run triathlon for myself.

The two races I just did for myself cleared up a lot of the anger swirling inside of me, and I am excited to get back out racing official races again. I am going to do four triathlons (one sprint, three Olympic) over eight days starting Labour Day Sunday as only doing one race a week no longer challenges me... despite my pain.

It’s doubtful I will race the Nelson triathlon again. There just doesn’t seem to be a place for someone like me in their race anymore... which is quite heartbreaking; but I love racing, so I’ll just find another triathlon somewhere else.

Steve Archdekin Nelson Editor’s note: Steve Archdekin developed a rare form of arthritis called Reiter’s Syndrome when he was 19, and as a result has been living with constant, full-body pain for the past decade. The Star ran a story about him in our July 20 edition.

Crowd did have empathy for bear Re: “Nelson fails the bear test,” Letters, August 24 I live one block away from the incident with the bear in Fairview and was quite concerned, first with the noise and police that were roaming the area earlier in the evening.

Then, once I was told by my child that a bear was in Fairview and that the sound I was hearing was not a gun but a “bear banger” (my child’s words), I went to pick her up and saw the crowd one block from my house, and a bear in a tree.

I did stop and chat with people there. I must disagree with Wendy Horan on her comments regarding the crowd’s lack of empathy.

The five or six people I spoke with all commented on how we hoped the authori-

ties could tranquilize the bear and relocate it. I could not hear anyone else’s conversation regarding the bear nor do I think Ms. Horan could — she certainly didn’t hear mine.

Her broad comments and assumptions that everyone who was there lacked empathy and should be ashamed is just that — a broad comment and assumption that is not true.

Her broad comments and assumptions that everyone who was there lacked empa-

thy and should be ashamed is just that — a broad comment and assumption that is not true. I am not ashamed, but I am upset that Ms. Horan would feel she could make such statements. I do wish the bear was saved — that is the real issue of the story.

As far as the youth that were there that did not have empathy either. Well, how old are we talking here? My 18-year-old daughter and several others in their teens and 20s were standing with us, and not one made a comment that hinted they lacked empathy for the situation.

They watched and chatted like us older folks. My teen was very sad to learn the bear had been shot as opposed to tranquilized and moved.

Annual Kootenay Pride Weekend All Set

Pride hits a new pitch MEGAN COLE Nelson Star Reporter

As Kootenay Pride prepares for it’s 16th annual festivities this weekend, Kootenay Pride president Jason Peil says this year is a celebration and thank you to the community.

“In the past, it may have been necessary to have pride in protest,” he said. “There was a time when pride meant carving a space to have a safe space to be out together and comfortable in your own community.”

This year marks the first year for Castlegar’s pride events, and while it may have been met by some opposition, Peil said it is a small but loud minority.

“Really Kootenay Pride is a thank you and a celebration for how amazing our community is and what a great place where you can live and work and be proud and open about yourself.

In this community and in general you are faced with nothing but acceptance,” he said.

“These events should be for everyone. The whole community should be proud here in this place that we come together and accept. We have diversity and we have tolerance for each other. This is really not a protest, but a welcoming and a thank you.”

In addition to the Castlegar event, Kootenay Pride is unveiling a lot of new festivities

to celebrate its 16th year.

“One of the big things is the reading of the play 8 by Dustin Lance Black,” said Peil. “That is the guy who wrote the story of Harvey Milk and that movie Milk. Milk was originally a play, and this production of 8 might turn out to be a play too.”

“In the past, it may have been necessary to have pride in protest.”

Jason Peil Kootenay Pride

In many of the readings throughout the US, actors such as Morgan Freeman have participated in the readings.

“Even Governor [Arnold] Schwarzenegger did a reading of it as himself,” said Peil. “It’s a very interesting piece and we’re really lucky to have it included in pride this year. That was entirely motivated by Michael Graham at the Capitol Theatre.

Mayor [John] Dooley is going to be in it along with Michelle Mungall, so we have some of our own local dignitaries playing similar roles to what their characters are in the play.”

The organizers are also inviting the public to the word slam music jam on Saturday night at The Express.

“People can just come in, sit down and enjoy,” said Peil. “It’s

a pretty accepting and inclusive atmosphere. That is something that we want to promote for youth and seniors and anybody else.”

The word slam music jam will be a coffee house-style poetry night including live music.

Kootenay Pride has also changed its annual rally, moving away from traditional ideas of political rallies.

“Our rally this year ought to be quite a change from previous rallies,” said Peil. “If anyone has ever attended a rally before and thought ‘Gee, there’s a lot of politicians and nothing else going on,’ we’ve really changed that around. We still have the politicians, but we are limiting them.”

The rally — which takes place at Cottonwood Park — will be hosted by Vancouver-based comedian and drag queen Conni Smudge who will also be hosting an impromptu drag competitions. Smudge will also be joined by other performers and a live DJ. The traditional pride parade on Sunday at 3 p.m. in Nelson’s downtown has also seen a revamp with more organizations joining the festivities than ever before.

News Police Beat

Nelson SPCA robbed Garbage was cited as a key factor that lead to the death last week of a bear in Fairview.

Nelson Star Staff

Police say a “substantial” amount of cash went missing in a theft from the Nelson SPCA branch at 524 Falls Street on Friday.

The money was swiped from a donation box on the front counter. The empty box was found under the building’s back stairs the following day.

The money goes toward animals in need.

Police are asking for the public’s help solving the crime.

Drunk jailed, ticketed Police were called to a local pub on Thursday about a drunk patron who was refusing to leave.

They found him outside. An ambulance driving by stopped to check on him, noticing he was staggering down the street.

Police say he was “immediately confrontational” with them and the ambulance attendants and began insulting them and swearing.

The man, 49, was arrested for being drunk in public and jailed until he sobered up. He was issued a ticket of $115 upon release.

More bear sightings A bear was seen several times in the lower Rosemont area over the weekend.

It was spotted in the 1100 block of McQuarrie Street down the pathway off Lakeview Crescent that leads to the pedestrian tunnel under the highway.

Police are asking residents to be careful and again imploring them not to leave their garbage outside.

Screams brings the heat A woman was issued a 90day roadside ban after police responded to a call about a call about a drunk man yelling and screaming early Friday morn-

ing on High Street.

He was seen getting into a vehicle and leaving, which police pulled over in the 500 block of Vernon Street.

The 28-year-old driver was asked to provide a breath sample. She failed the roadside screening test and in addition to the driving ban, her car was impounded for 30 days. The man who caused the disturbance in the first place was allowed to go.

END OF SUMMER

SALE

Drunk on dock On Saturday around 8 p.m., emergency crews were called to the public dock at the foot of Hall Street where a drunk man was passed out.

The man, 50, hit his head when he fell and was bleeding from a gash on his forehead.

Police and paramedics woke him up, but he was “belligerent and uncooperative.”

He was taken to hospital where his demeanor continued.

Once released, he was jailed until he sobered up.

Labour Issues

Credit union workers again reject offer Castlegar News Staff

Chako Mika Mall 250-352-2936

Bob Hall photo

Workers at Heritage Credit Union and HG Insurance in Castlegar and Slocan Park turned down their employer’s last offer Friday, voting 76 per cent against.

Management applied for and was granted a last offer vote under the BC Labour Code last week. The vote was conducted by an industrial relations officer from the employment standards branch.

Workers previously turned down the same offer July 18. “This result qualifies our position that the most important issue – the pension shortfall – still hasn’t been dealt with sufficiently,� said United Steelworkers Local 1-405 financial secretary Jeff Bromley, bargaining agent for the employees. “If the employer was unsure of where we stand on the issue, they surely know now.�

The workers remain in a le-

gal strike position after 72-hour strike notice expired last Monday at noon. “We’re currently evaluating our next course of action but we’re running out of options,� Bromley said in a news release. “We remain committed to get a deal and it is our hope that the strong rejection displayed by the vote spurs the employer to come back to the bargaining table. If not, the final option will be job action.�

Bromley said the bargaining committee remains committed to returning to the negotiating table.

Heritage Credit Union representative Larry Bomak said their branches have contingency plans in place in case of any potential strike action. “We’d have reduced hours, but we’d still offer our full services,� he said. “Our ATMs, telephone, and online banking would still be operational. People could still make deposits, pay bills, whatever.�

Junior B Training Camp Opens on Friday

Leafs get to work on 2012-13 season BOB HALL Nelson Star Editor

When Nelson Junior Leafs training camp opens on Friday afternoon, head coach Frank Maida will feel a lot more comfortable in his skates than a year ago.

“I’ve had more time to prepare and actu-

ally go out and recruit players,” said Maida, who also fills the team’s general manager position. “Last year when I took over, all the Junior A camps were over and I didn’t have that same opportunity.”

Last summer the veteran coach was thrust into the bench

Coach Frank Maida

boss position after the sudden departure of Chris Shaw. After one season behind the Leafs’ bench, Shaw moved onto Junior A to take an assistant coach role with the Vernon Vipers.

Maida guided the Leafs to a respectable 30-17-0-5 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League regular season record. The Leafs then bowed out to Neil Murdoch Division rival Castlegar Rebels in the first round of the playoffs.

As is the case in junior hockey, once the curtain closed on the 2011-12 season, Maida’s work for the next campaign started. Over the last few months, the veteran coach made the best of his time.

“I’m feeling a little more stable,” Maida said of his approach heading into his second camp as the head coach. “Last year I didn’t know any of the players that were returning or the ones coming in that Chris had recruited. It was certainly different than this year.”

Maida expects 50 hopefuls to take to the Nelson and District Community Complex ice on Friday night.

The camp will start with a fitness test and be followed by two games on Friday night.

The camp will resume on Saturday morning with two more games, followed by a mid-day practice and then two more games on Saturday evening. Recruits will get one last stab at making an impression on Sunday morning with two more games.

The Leafs’ coaching staff will then trim the roster and meet with those players who they release.

Bob Hall photo

Veteran sniper Colton Schell is one of the returning players who will be in training camp at the Nelson and District Community Complex starting Friday.

“The first thing we are looking for is conditioning,” Maida said of what he expects from those who take the ice on Friday. “We will be doing a fitness test and you need to be in top shape. We are going to have a tight camp… conditioning and hard workers are what we are looking for.

“It will be pretty intense, you need to be in good shape to survive the weekend.”

As is normal with Junior B camps, one of the main factors a coaching staff needs to balance is cuts from Junior A camps. With many BC Hockey League teams in the throes of their final d e c i s i on - m a k i ng , some of the players that will make the 2012-13 Leafs’ roster will not even be on the ice this weekend.

“I have been on the phone all the time and doing a lot of texting,” said Maida, who was in the stands at the Cominco Arena for Trail Smoke Eaters camp this past weekend.

“That’s what it’s all about at this time of the year — watching the players, com-

municating and just waiting.”

Heading into camp Maida does know he will have at least a few veterans to build a foundation on. Twenty-year-old Colton Schell will be back for his third season with the Leafs and Calgary native JJ Beitel will be back to anchor the blueline brigade. Veterans Cam Dobransky, Andrew Miller, Blake Arcuri and goaltender Patrick DeFoe will also be in camp this weekend.

Currently there are nine players from last year’s roster who are in Junior A camps.

“We are hoping they make Junior A, that’s the goal of our program,” said Maida.

Nelson Minor Hockey grads Matt Macdonald, Cole Arcuri, John Katountas and Colton Dawson will also be looking to pull on a Leafs’ jersey this season.

Once the first round of cuts are made on Sunday, the Leafs will head into the pre-season schedule where those who survive will get a chance to show what they can do.

The Leafs engage in a home-and-home with

the Beaver Valley Nitehawks on Tuesday (in Nelson) and Wednesday (in Fruitvale).

Though a little early to make any bold predictions, the man who was a Leafs assistant coach for six highly successful seasons between 2004 and 2010 said he is excited to see it coming together.

“I feel we are going to have a good team,” said Maida. “We have a quite few players coming that will fill the spots we need.

We have done well at recruiting and I feel good about going into camp.”

“It’s a great time of the year because we are finally lacing them up this weekend.”

IN THE CREASE: The Leafs made some off-season trades. Maida shipped defenceman Walker Sidoni to Beaver Valley so he could play closer to his hometown of Trail in exchange for Jacob Boyczuk. Boyczuk scored eight goals and added 11 assists for the Nitehawks in his rookie KIJHL season.

The Leafs also traded Max Mois to Victoria for future considerations.

Community Autumn Bear Attractants

Keeping fruit trees in check SUBMITTED Special to the Nelson Star

The plums, apples and pears will soon be ripe on the trees.

That means mouth-watering pies, sauces, juice and just plain good fruit off the tree. But it also means that bears may be visiting our fruit trees.

What can you do? Pick your fruit and keep the fruit from accumulating under your trees.

If you cannot pick your fruit, try contacting Harvest Rescue at 250-551-8343 to pick edible fruit.

Properly constructed and maintained predator electric fencing is very effective at keeping bears from fruit trees and chicken coops. You can find instructions on how to erect a very simple predator electric fence (you can modify the instructions to suit your situation) on bearaware.bc.ca .

There will be a free workshop on predator electric fencing for

residents of Nelson and Areas E and F on Saturday, September 8 (location to be determined).

You can pre-register at siderius@netidea.com or 250-8259585. If you are not using the fruit on your tree, or if your fruit tree is no longer producing edible fruit, you can consider replacing your tree with a decorative tree that does not produce fruit or a fruit tree that produces usable fruit.

Once you start canning and preparing your fruit, try to remember not to overload your compost with fruit. Compost can attract bears if it smells and a compost over-loaded with fruit will smell of rotting fruit and perhaps may attract a bear to your compost. You can freeze some of the “compostable” materials until your compost is ready for new material.

Learn more about identifying and managing bear attractants near your home by visiting bearaware.bc.ca or emailing Joanne Siderius, Bear Aware community co-ordinator, at nelson@bearaware.bc.ca. Visit their new Facebook page: facebook.com/BearAwareBC .

Bear Aware gratefully acknowledge the Ministry of the Environment, Columbia Basin Trust, the RDCK and The British Columbia Conservation Foundation for their financial support.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES • To provide broad-based community input into the development and annual review of an economic development strategy for Nelson and Electoral Areas E and F • To identify the key priority areas for economic development to be pursued by the NAEDP • To raise awareness of and appreciation for economic development activities in Nelson and Electoral Areas E and F Established in 2005, the Nelson and Area Economic Development Partnership is an economic initiative developed and coordinated through the cooperation of the City of Nelson, Regional District Areas E and F, Community Futures Central Kootenay, and the Nelson and District Chamber of Commerce.

Interested individuals are asked to submit an Expression of Interest, complete with resume detailing relevant experience, by September 10th to: Selection Committee Nelson and Area Economic Development Partnership Community Futures Central Kootenay 201 514 Vernon Street Nelson BC V1L 4E7 lcannady@futures.bc.ca

Sally Ann looks to ease back to school pressures SUBMITTED Special to the Nelson Star

The beginning of a new school year is always a stressful time for families struggling to make ends meet.

To help relieve some of that stress, Nelson’s Salvation Army is asking for help

in providing school supplies.

They are looking for pencils, pens, crayons, pencil crayons, scissors, binders, scribblers, dividers, glue sticks, rulers, felt pens, duotangs, lined loose leaf, erasers, highlighters and other items that will help make the school year successful for all children.

The Salvation Army is very simply requesting that when you are picking up supplies for your child, you might pick up something extra to drop in one of the collection boxes placed around town. Or you can drop your donation off at the Salvation Army at 601 Vernon Street.

Savvy Shopper Contest The Nelson & District Community Complex would like to inform the community that there will be no hot water for showers and sinks from

Monday, August 27th through to Thursday, August 30th.

This temporary loss of domestic hot water is required to Ànalize the Heat Recovery Project. This project was implemented to help reduce our energy consumption and lower our operating costs. How it works is energy, in the form of heat given off by the refrigeration system in the arena, will provide heat for the pools and domestic hot water supply. This use of heat from the refrigeration system will reduce our usage of natural gas which we currently use to heat the pools and domestic hot water.

The NDCC will see approximately 30% of natural gas consumption, which translates to a potential $40,000.00 a year savings in natural gas. Although there is a small annual increase in electricity costs ($10,000), the net savings to the NDCC, once the system is operational, is estimated to be $30,000.00 per year.

Tell us about hot deals, savvy shopping tips or shopping advice and you could WIN a 7 night ALL Inclusive Holiday to VILLA DEL PALMAR CANCUN BEACH RESORT & SPA in Mexico!

No purchase necessary. Contest open to residents of Canada excluding Quebec who have reached the age of majority in their province or territory of residence. Odds of winning depend on the number of eligible entries received. One (1) grand prize is available to be won, consisting of a seven (7) night holiday to Cancun, Mexico including airfare and accommodation for two (2) adults at the Villa Del Palmar Cancun Beach Resort & Spa (approximate retail value of $3,000.00 CDN).

of planting a bible college in Haiti. This vision soon grew to encompass much more, such as a technical institute, a children’s village, a primary school and an agricultural program.

In their time here, Marc and Lisa will be sharing on the progress as well as the future goals, and how we can help.

For more information call Kootenay Christian Fellowship at 1-888-761-3301.

Build Your Dream Home. Home Plans for You. TO U C H O F V I C TO R I A N ELEGANCE

ALL DESIGNS, PLANS AND RENDERINGS © COPYRIGHT JENISH HOUSE DESIGN LIMITED

A turret surrounded by an old-fashioned veranda with decorative stone-based pilasters lends the exterior of this generously proportioned four-bedroom home a touch of Victorian elegance.

The elegance carries through the covered entry and beyond the double-height foyer. To the right, a charming study occupies the turret’s ground floor, with french doors to a veranda. Nearby is a powder room with a coat closet opposite.

The great room, complete with a fireplace flanked by built-in entertainment units, flows seamlessly into the bayed-out nook, where a window seat overlooks the back garden.

THIS DESIGN INCLUDES UNFINISHED BONUS ROOM No cook will ever feel isolated in the kitchen, AN UNFINISHED BASEMENT 438 SQ. FT. (40.7 M ) separated only by countertops and an eating bar from the great room and nook. The U-shaped counter configuration will save steps, and a capacious pantry provides always-needed storage space. Completing this well-designed space is a convenient prep island.

SECOND FLOOR PLAN Also on the main floor is the laundry room, 1196 SQ. FT. (111.1 M ) with a handy chute from upstairs and built-in boot shelves. Access from the double garage to the kitchen leads through a mud-room with WIDTH - 79'- 0" (24.1M) DEPTH - 50'- 7" (15.4M) a useful bench for changing damp or grubby MAIN FLOOR PLAN footwear.

1477 SQ. FT. (137.2 M ) PLAN NO. 7-3-932 TOTAL 2673 SQ. FT. (248.3 M ) 9'- 0" CEILING HEIGHT The design shows regard for the streetscape TWO — the garage’s double doors are hidden, with JENISH HOUSE DESIGN LIMITED STOREY two partly mullioned street-side windows giving passersby the illusion of lived-in space.

On the second floor, the master bedroom features its own private balcony and a walk-in closet. The four-piece ensuite occupies the turret, giving this space the air of a spa retreat.

The second and third bedrooms share a spacious four-piece bathroom with a laundry chute. Over the garage, linked to the main house by a sloping walkway, is an unfinished bonus room. With slanting ceilings and a dormer window, this space would make an ideal play area or studio. This home measures 79 feet wide and 50 feet, seven inches deep, totalling 2,673 square feet, plus an unfinished basement.

Plans for design 7-4-932 are available for $812 (set of 5), $914 (set of 8) and $977 for a super set of 10. Also add $30.00 for Priority charges within B.C. or $55.00 outside of B.C. Please add 12% H.S.T., 13% H.S.T. Or 5% G.S.T (where applicable) to both the plan price and Priority charges.

It’s that timee of year...

September’s Road Kings Weekend

Soap box racers... on your marks SUBMITTED Special to the Nelson Star

Racers in the fourth annual Soap Box Derby are slated to rocket down Kootenay Street on Friday, September 7.

Participants will hit the starting line at Carbonate Street starting at 5 p.m.

Competing in three categories (12 and under, 12 to 18, and over 18), all racers will get a minimum of three runs. The

best two out of three races will qualify racers for the finals.

You can race any style of soap box you like, from a professional racer to a GT Racer with wheels, or maybe a bath tub? Or an outhouse on wheels? Get creative and start building.

One of the only rules is brakes and helmets are mandatory.

Registration forms available at this year’s major spon-

sors, Fair Realty (402 Baker Street), Nelson Chrysler and Nelson Box Office.

Registration closes next

Wednesday at 5 p.m. Entry is free with a donation of a non-perishable food items for the Salvation Army to help support our community.

Nelson Chrysler will be decaling a 2012 Dodge Ram Diesel with all of the sponsor names. Main Jet Motorsports will have their brand new quads and side-by-sides to help pull the cars back up the hill. Kootenay Co-op will also be handing out treats.

The beginning of a new school year is always a stressful time for families struggling to make ends meet. To help relieve some of that stress, the Salvation Army is asking for help in providing school supplies. We are looking for pencils, pens, crayons, pencil crayons, scissors, binders, and scribblers, dividers, glue sticks, rulers, felt pens, duotangs, lined loose leaf, erasers, highlighters, and other items that will help make the school year successful for all children. Very simply we are requesting that when you are picking up supplies for your child, you might pick up something extra to drop in one of the collection boxes placed around town, or you can drop your donation off at the Salvation Army.

Thank you for your help!
