Selkirk College student enrolment numbers have dipped slightly for the 2012-13 school year.

As of November 1, there were 1,937 domestic students and 122 international students studying at Selkirk’s eight West Kootenay campuses and learning centres.

Last year’s head counts recorded 20 more students — 17 more domestic and three more international — on the same date.

College spokeswoman Pat Henman said the difference is negligible and numbers may even out in the coming months, as there is still intake available for some of the trades and online programs.

“If we look at these numbers a month from now, we might find we’re up a few heads compared to last year.

The numbers always fluctuate to some extent,” Henman

The Faces of Remembrance

Hundreds of area residents turned out Sunday morning for the annual Remembrance Day ceremony at the Cenotaph.

With a chilly November wind blowing through the common area in front of City Hall, veterans gathered with a number of community groups after a march through the downtown to listen to speeches and the stirring sounds of the day. For more photos turn to pages 2 and 3.

Sheri Walsh

Sheri Walsh easily defeated Bob Price in Saturday’s byelection, 245 to 36. She will wrap up her duties as secretary of the district parent advisory committee in the coming weeks and officially be sworn in on the Kootenay Lake board of education November 20. Her term runs through the fall of 2014.

“Things have improved

somewhat, but there are still problems out there,” Walsh said of the situation that sees some buses arrive much earlier or later than scheduled — the result of routes being eliminated to cut costs.

The Crescent Valley resident pointed to “ongoing” problems with the route she is most familiar with.

“The biggest issue is the bus coming early,” she said.

“The kids are at the stop five minutes early, but if it shows up eight minutes early, they miss it. It’s leaving the high school early as well.”

As she did prior to the election, Walsh encourages those who have problems to contact the district so administrators and trustees are aware.

She said it’s difficult to find a solution without looking at the broader, district-wide picture. Problems have also been reported in the Creston area.

“It’s really difficult to figure out,” she said. “Maybe they still need to tweak the schedule. Maybe it doesn’t really fit the route yet.”

Walsh said parents were promised software that would provide an interactive map of bus routes, but that hasn’t

The new trustee says the school bus situation needs to be addressed.

happened yet and she doesn’t expect it will be ready in the short term.

“All we can do is ask questions and look at the numbers,” she said. “Hopefully it’s more efficient, but is it worth the cost to students and families if kids are having unreasonably long days?”

In a phone interview, Walsh called her election win “very gratifying.” She was disappointed with the turnout, however, which saw just 8.5 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots. She was hoping at least 500 people would turn out, but admitted by-elections are tough, especially on a long weekend.

Walsh’s campaign included a mail-out flyer, door-

knocking in Krestova and Bonnington, attending community events in Slocan and Passmore, and phoning “everybody in the phone book I had ever met.”

She also went to parent advisory committee meetings of the four valley schools and says she intends to continue to do so as trustee.

“It’s going to be very interesting. I’m going to have to learn a lot.”

In an email to the Star, fellow candidate Price congratulated Walsh on her victory.

“I think she will do a great job,” he said.

The by-election was called following the resignation of Barb Lindsay, who has gone to work overseas.

Anglican Church Addition Underway

ABOVE: Work is underway on an addition to St. Saviour’s Pro-Cathedral following a groundbreaking ceremony last week involving from left, general contractor Peter Gosney, church warden Kitty Wright, Rev. Thomas Leadbeater, Rev. Marcella Mugford, and warden Julia Roberts. Leadbeater, now retired, was also there in 1954 for groundbreaking on the addition to the Memorial Hall. RIGHT: Leadbeater is seen at centre right, with warden Fred Irving and Archdeacon Graham holding the spade. The church recently sold the hall and put the proceeds towards exterior upgrades on the church, including cleaning of the stonework and painting of the exterior trim and stucco. The 820 square foot single-storey addition on the building’s east side will have a kitchen, washrooms, and storage space. The church was built in 1898 and rebuilt in 1929 following a fire.

Continued from Page 1 told the Star.

“In some of our online courses, we’re still waiting for more students to register before we start the class, which we could see happen at any point.”

She credits some of the decline in numbers to last year’s cost saving measures that included a reduction in the number of upper level science courses being offered and changing Kootenay School of Arts programs from two-year diplomas to

one-year certificates.

KSA, located on Victoria Street in Nelson, has 56 fewer students this year. Total enrolment went from 220 students in 2011-12 to 164 this year.

But other Selkirk programs are filling in the gap. Henman said enrolment is up in most of the trades programs, citing the carpentry and general mechanics programs as particularly popular.

As well, there are more aboriginal students studying at Selkirk — with 66 enrolled in

various programs this year, compared to 60 last year.

“We opened the Aboriginal Gathering Place at the Castlegar campus last year,” Henman points out. “We’ve had a lot energy going into recruitment of aboriginal students and this shows we’re being successful at it.”

Another area recruiters focus on is attracting more international students, who benefit the school by paying higher tuition rates.

“Our recruiters have really been out there working hard

to get international students,” Henman said, citing Japan, Russia and South American countries as key destinations for recruiters.

“Unfortunately it sometimes comes down to whether governments will grant a student visa, which we can’t control.”

Overall, Henman said she’s pleased to see the school’s enrolment numbers holding steady and said the new 2012-2017 strategic plan will help lead the school into the future.

Editorial

Not a time to get cocky

T

he white coating over the city Monday morning makes it official: winter has arrived to the West Kootenay. For the next five months we can settle into the season that makes this part of the world extra special.

Outdoor lovers can taste the fresh tracks, kids have already taken their first sled runs down their favourite pitch and even the odd snowman appeared on neighbourhood lawns.

With the anticipation of another great winter comes responsibility and the need for extra attention on area streets and highways.

You only need one season in this geography to understand we live in one of the trickiest winter driving maps in the nation. And though you may think you have it mastered, Mother Nature is unforgiving with even the most hardened winter driving veteran.

On Page 13 of today’s paper you can read about a pedestrian accident in the downtown.

Though the snow is not to blame (it happened Friday), it does shed light on just how serious the consequences of brief moments of failure on the roads can be.

Snow is not the only hazard over the next few months. Shorter days, freezing rain and the soon-to-come massive snowbanks also make life on our streets much more challenging.

The responsibility for cutting down on injury and death on winter roads rests with everyone. Not just drivers, but pedestrians need to be aware that extra attention is essential.

If you plopped untested winter drivers from Vancouver or Victoria onto Nelson area roads in mid-winter it would be total chaos. We all know our winter conditions and mountain terrain make us the best in Canada. But don’t let that go to your head. Please ensure this winter is one where tragedy stays out of the headlines.

We want to hear from you.

Council Column — Candace Batycki

A year in the life of city council

O

n November 19, 2011 — almost one year ago — 1,445 Nelson citizens checked my name when their turn came to stand in a voting booth in the Central School gym with a slip of paper and a pencil. It was a bitterly cold day. The first snows of the season had frozen into treacherous clumps. Thank you to those of you who braved the elements and participated in our democracy. It truly is an honour to serve the citizens of Nelson, and I thank you for putting your trust in me.

I do monitor progress on my platform, and try to ensure that the issues I talked about are moving, whether my role in them is large or small.

During a campaign there are lots of ideas, issues and promises.

Once you get down to governing, some issues advance, some shift and some stall. New issues and ideas appear. I do monitor progress on my platform and try to ensure that the issues I talked about are moving, whether my role in them is large or small.

There have been many joys this year. One was helping volunteers with the Seniors Economic Environment Development (SEED) project put the first seeds into pots at the Lakeside greenhouses.

This group has a big dream that includes fresh healthy

food for everyone, with youth and seniors working and sharing side by side.

Another personal highlight was passing a resolution opposing expanding pipelines and tankers on BC’s coast, and speaking at the send-off rally for the Kootenay to Kitimat Karavan.

I am also enjoying serving on the board of Touchstones Nelson, and at the Kootenay Lake Partnership.

There are so many amazing community groups, but I particularly want to recognize the Nelson Transit Community Group for all their great work organizing community involvement in transit issues this year. As transit changes take effect, I hope we will see more and more people getting on the bus, saving money and time and reducing emissions.

I also want to thank all those who have served on the Community Heritage Commission. This year the structure of City commissions and committees was completely revamped, an occasionally stressful process. Some on the commission and in the larger heritage community wondered how Nelson’s heritage, a priceless community asset, would be safeguarded into the future.

After the winter holidays the Cultural Development Commission will strike a heritage working group, as required in the new by-law. Serving on that body is only one of many ways to work for heritage preservation in the Queen City. I am confident for the future of heritage in Nelson.

Candace Batycki (right) on election night a year ago shares the celMegan Cole photo ebration with Donna Macdonald.

Planning for the 2013 budget gets underway this week, and will consume much of our attention for the rest of the year. The Railtown/Cottonwood working group of the Downtown-Waterfront steering committee will hold a public event early in 2013 to talk about how we are collectively, over time, transforming that end of town into a beautiful, welcoming neighbourhood full of art, nature and, yes, heritage, including a new city park on the site of the old transfer station. It will take a while, but together we’ll get there.

This year council passed motions supporting the regional agriculture plan and the proposal for a regional food council. I wonder if we need an urban food strategy, to help us prioritize resources and improve food security for Nelson.

As always, the community needs to lead. Tell us your ideas.

On that note, let’s talk about talking. During the campaign I put up a website, and even tweeted a little, but I’ve since fallen off the social media wagon. One of my resolutions for this mandate is to get back on, so I’m relaunching my website. You can find it at councilorbatycki. org. It’s pretty thin yet, but on the front page you’ll find a link to a feedback survey; please take a few minutes to tell me what’s on your mind. It’s been a full year of budgets, meetings, events, issues and debates. I think I’m getting the hang of it. What do you think?

Candace Batycki is a Nelson city councillor who shares this space with her colleagues around the table.

Letters to the Editor The process and the plan for Area E

The [RDCK] has no vested interest in whether Area E has a plan or not.

Initiated in September 2008 by the community of Harrop-Procter in response to several large land use changes, a community plan for Harrop-Procter was on the RDCK priority list when I took office in December that same year. It was decided to see if all of Area E might be interested in planning because creating a community plan is a time consuming process and it was not likely other parts of Area E could be added within a reasonable timeframe if they wanted to be involved after the fact.

The draft Official Community Plan for Area E is the culmination of three years of community outreach through meetings and the results of a survey that was sent addressed to each property owner.

To our surprise almost

all communities in Area E showed a lot of interest in managing growth and development and there was also interest in a community plan.

Work carried forward to integrate the values expressed in the community survey and at meetings into the draft community plan.

At every meeting in Blewett there have been some individuals who have said “no plan.” However survey results from the area showed their views do not reflect the majority. Some people in Blewett organized to come to the public hearing October 24 to say “stop the plan.”

Many had good questions.

People from other areas also made good points that can be included in the plan.

All of the other rural electoral areas in the RDCK have an Official Community Plan in all or part of their area. It is impossible to address land use disputes or unwanted effects of development in a community on an ad-hoc basis and therefore the choices made today about planning will determine the future.

A recommendation to postpone adoption of the community plan until requested changes can be made and a definitive answer found on Blewett’s participation will be on the November 16 RDCK Agenda. For more information: rdck.bc.ca/development/planning/projects/ area_e_land_use_planning. html.

the future. Just as people plan their finances or monthly budget, an Official Community Plan looks at the present as to the strengths and challenges in our community with an eye to the future. It is not zoning and there are no plans to implement zoning.

The Regional District of Central Kootenay has no vested interest in whether Area E has a plan or not.

COUPON

Re: “Planning in Area E a bad idea,” Letters, November 9 I must admit I was somewhat surprised at Jim Demers’ letter. As a builder he must know that there are many provincial building code regulations required to build a home or barn, such as setbacks from highways septic tanks, water courses, etc. To infer a community plan will regulate these things doesn’t make sense. Area E is not “free” of these requirements.

The Official Community Plan for Area E does not specify the placement or colour of buildings nor in any way interfere with the current legal use of people’s property.

There is little in the way of regulations in the document.

There is a requirement for new larger housing developments of five or more small subdivided lots to develop in a way that considers the surrounding neighbourhood as well as a requirement that new industrial buildings do the same. As well there is a requirement that development by water sources are certified by an environmental professional to protect the waterside habitat for fish and other species because the habitat on the West Arm has been rapidly decreasing.

Basically the plan’s strength is that local residents get to comment on large changes to their community.

The community plan is a statement of what the community looks like at this time and how it wants to grow into

‘Femocracy’ not the democratic way

Your November 7 edition had a story about our local MLA Michelle Mungall who was given the privilege of overseeing the democratic election in the Ukraine.

Mungall was elected to represent the NDP in a decidedly undemocratic way, in that only women were allowed to run. Now I wonder if Mungall would be OK with the Ukrainian election if only... say... men were

allowed to run and women were not afforded an equal opportunity.

She was good with it when the NDP took away the right of men to run to represent the party in Nelson, so what now makes her a “democracy expert”?

And if the NDP is prepared to institute “Femocracy” internally in order to achieve mathematical equality for women in the legisla-

ture, can they be trusted to uphold the principle of “equal opportunity” if they are elected to govern?

Social equality should never be set aside in order to achieve mathematical equality for any group and the NDP cannot be trusted to take over the reins of power until they recognize that fact.

A sincere THANK YOU from Rotary Club of Nelson Daybreak for your contribution to our International Tasting Faire.

Your support has resulted in a salary being raised for a teacher in Haiti and also funds for local community projects such as tagging/defacement removal, city beautification, and the building of a skatepark. Rotary Daybreak could not have done it without you. We hope you will contribute to this fundraising dinner again next year.

Again, Thank You for your support. It is greatly appreciated.

Nelson Reaches Out to Zambia The City of Nelson has a new sibling. Last week, the City signed a municipal partnership agreement with the District of Kaoma, Zambia. Councillors Deb Kozak (far left) and Donna Macdonald (far right) joined Mayor John Dooley and Isabelle Herzig from the Nelson and Area Kaoma Alliance to sign the documents making the relationship official. At last week’s council meeting, Macdonald said the relationship is about friendship and does not include a financial commitment or visits back and forth by delegates. Nelson currently has sister city relationships with Izushi, Japan and Baie-St-Paul, Quebec (which expires in March 2013). The Chamber is currently working on spearheading a partnership with Sandpoint, Idaho.

Nelson city councillor Bob Adams is among the latest local recipients of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for community service.

Adams was presented with his medal on behalf of the Metis Nation of BC. “I found out I was getting one when I went to the annual general meeting of the Metis Nation of BC,” he said. “It was presented in honour of my service to the city and to them.”

The Metis Nation asked Adams for a resumé, which he said included his work for the local Metis group, his time on city council, being president of the Public Works Association BC and four years as a justice of the peace in BC. “I was overwhelmed,” he said. “It was a wonderful thing to get. There were about 250 people at the annual general meeting and I think they gave away 10 medals to Metis people.”

Adams joins fellow city councillor Donna Macdonald as a recipient of the medal, commemorating 60 years of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign.

Various organizations and politicians, including Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall, have been asked to find worthy candidates to receive the medals.

Mungall will present them to Joan Reichardt of Nelson, Shannon Nickisch of Sirdar, Bruce Walker of Kaslo, and Dorothy Hearn of Salmo at a ceremony on Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Hume Hotel.

They were selected as part of a two-month process initiated by Mungall that included an open call for nominations and an online vote.

For 24 years, Reichardt was supervisor of local home support services. She also sat on the boards of BC Transit, Mount St. Francis and the Nelson and District Housing Society.

She’s still involved with the Nelson and District Seniors Coordinating Society and has long been

an advocate for those less inclined to speak for themselves.

“All four medal recipients have done so much for this region,” Mungall said in a release. “It is wonderful to have the opportunity to put on an event to honour them, as well as include all those who were nominated and the community.”

Meanwhile, Alex Atamanenko will present medals Friday to recipients nominated by the Regional District of Central Kootenay, including Macdonald, former MLA Corky Evans, Kaslo’s Aya Higashi, and Ymir’s Hans Cunningham.

Police Beat

Pedestrian hit by car in downtown

On Friday afternoon, a pedestrian was hit crossing JoSam Van Schie photo sephine Street.

Nelson Star Staff

A pedestrian is in hospital after being struck by a vehicle and dragged for about for five metres along the road on Friday at 5:30 p.m.

The 32-year-old woman was crossing Josephine Street at the intersection of Victoria Street, when a man making a left turn from Victoria Street drove into her.

She was transported by BC Ambulance to Kootenay Lake hospital for serious, but not lifethreatening, injuries to her head and pelvis.

Nelson Police Department is investigating the cause of the collision. Drugs and alcohol have been ruled out.

Police would also like to remind drivers and pedestrians to be extra careful on the roads this time of year.

“It is getting dark earlier and with the dipping temperatures the roads can be slippery,” Sgt. Paul Bayes wrote in a press release.

“Pedestrians are encouraged to wear bright or reflective clothing when out in the early mornings or evenings. Drivers should slow down and take an extra moment to look at crosswalks when driving in high pedestrian areas.”

Two More Weekend Wins for Locals

Nelson Star Editor

A pair of weekend wins have put the Nelson Junior Leafs in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League penthouse.

The Leafs topped the Grand Forks Border Bruins 4-1 on Friday night in the Boundary country and then returned home Saturday to edge the Golden Rockets 5-3.

“The boys are playing well,” Leafs coach Frank Maida told the Star. “Games are getting tougher as teams are looking forward to playing us and giving us a good game. But we keep hanging in there and coming up with wins.”

Though it’s been a couple of years since the local club has enjoyed this much success, Maida is familiar with the view from the top.

Maida was the assistant coach to Simon Wheeldon when the pair guided the Leafs to five hugely successful seasons. Other than the first 2005-06 season when Wheeldon inherited a team, the Leafs finished atop the Neil Murdoch Division for four straight seasons. Three of those seasons saw the team first overall in the league in the regular season. In those four seasons the Leafs went 151-38 and only lost seven games in the championship season of 2008-09.

Having seen this script before, Maida knows it is going to take even more determination to hold the position as the top dog.

“We just have to keep working harder,” said Maida.

“They know the teams are out to get us and the boys just continue to get better. They know they have to work hard

There has been plenty to celebrate for the Nelson Junior Leafs of late. On Saturday night they won their ninth game in a row at the NDCC. Bob Hall photo

in practice, and we are doing that.”

After a scoreless opening period on Friday night, Jacob Jeske scored on Leafs starter Cody Boeckman two minutes into the middle frame to give the home side a 1-0 lead.

Less than a minute later Carson Willans tied the score, and with five minutes left in the second, captain Colton Schell gave Nelson the 2-1 lead.

Just under two minutes into the final period Cole Arcuri and Jacob Boyzchuk scored 10 seconds apart to give the visitors a 4-1 lead.

Though Grand Forks fought hard to mount a comeback, Boeckman was solid in preserving the lead and the win.

On Saturday night, the Rockets mounted one of the biggest challenges the Leafs have faced in the recent run.

Linden Horswill opened the scoring seven minutes into the first period to give the home

side the early advantage.

With eight minutes left in the period, Keith Wake notched the score at ones when he scored a shorthanded goal on Leafs starter Brett Soles.

The Leafs outshot the Rockets 14-5 in the opening frame.

Schell regained the lead for Nelson just over eight minutes into the middle period, but once again the Rockets responded to tie the game 2-2 with just under five minutes left.

The teams exchanged goals in the late stages of the period to head into the dressing room tied at three. In a rare stat during the Leafs’ current hot streak, their opposition actually outshot the Leafs in the middle stanza 15-12.

JJ Beitel gave the Leafs the lead once again just over five minutes into the third period when the veteran defenceman scored on the powerplay.

The Rockets kept the heat on the Leafs for the rest of the period, but Soles was solid between the pipes.

Aaron Dunlap scored into the empty net to salt away the win with 44 seconds left.

The win was the Leafs’ ninth in a row.

“We hope it is going to continue,” Maida said of the team’s current streak. “Our goal is a lot more simple than that, we just need to go out and make sure we are responsible in all three zones. If we come back to the dressing room and know we played a honest, hard game... hopefully things will work out.”

The Leafs will now play four games away from the NDCC. On Tuesday night (after Star deadline) they travelled to Fruitvale to take on the Beaver Valley Nitehawks. On the weekend they will travel to the East Kootenay to take on Golden, Kimberley and Columbia Valley.

It is with great sadness that we announce that Doug Reyden of Beasley, B.C. passed away suddenly at home.

Loving husband of 40 years to his wife Katy (nee Dyck); dear father of Jeff and wife Jodie, Mark, and Brian and wife Tia; happy grandpa of Isaiah, Nathan, Lucas and Hayden. Doug was predeceased by his parents Corey and Vivian Reyden and is survived by his brother Don. Doug was born in Nelson, B.C. He was raised at the Emerald Mine near Salmo. His family moved to Fraser Lake in 1963. Doug worked at Endako Mine where he received his electrical apprenticeship. He met and married Katy in 1972. After completing his apprenticeship in 1977, Doug and Katy moved to Beasley to raise a family. Their three sons were born in Nelson. Many happy family times were spent skiing, boating, fishing, camping, and just generally enjoying Kootenay life.

Doug retired from Fortis BC in 2004. After Katy also retired in 2006, they were able to spend 6 more years travelling and enjoying retirement. He liked to ‘putter’ and always had a project on the go - making whirligigs, toy boxes, Adirondack chairs, etc.

Doug was a good man. His death leaves a big hole in our family. He is so greatly missed.

As per Doug’s wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no service. Arrangements are under the direction of Thompson Funeral Service Ltd. Online condolences may be expressed at www.thompsonfs.ca

for what they do. At the end of the Project Days, students share examples or demonstrations of what they learned at a full-school assembly.

“I can’t wait until it’s my turn,” said a student in Grade 4 this year.

Project Days began as a way for students to immerse themselves in an area of interest that they might not have the opportunity for otherwise. Teachers also recognize how important it is for adolescents to meet and work with a variety of different adult mentors as they begin their journey into adulthood and explore their individual interests. Project Days are much anticipated each year, by students and adults alike.

“I get just as much out of it as they do,” said Harder, a local artist who offered a workshop on portraiture.

The next Project Days are March 13 to 15. If you have a passion that you would love to share with youth, contact the Nelson Waldorf school: 250-352-6919.

Youth asked to search for answers SUBMITTED Special to the Nelson Star

The SelfDesign High School TEDx event is now in its third year and has had a strong youth element since its inception.

The first year, local youth hosted the event and led the audience elegantly and strongly through the theme “Co-inspiring the Future.”

Young artists painted live, shared their homemade musical beats, interviewed a local community leader and performed exquisite spoken word.

Year two explored the theme “Through the Crucible: the Pain and Blessing of Conscious Change.” Youth spoke of their life-changing experiences in Haiti, there was a powerful spoken word

piece and a evocative visual statement by a young artist.

This year the TEDx SelfDesign High event takes place at 402 Victoria Street on November 17, turning its full focus on youth by asking, “What do Youth Need to Thrive?” You will have the opportunity to hear a number of youth speak, as well as other experienced and wise perspectives on this topic.

As mentors, we have the honour and pleasure to hear our youth’s voices tackle diverse topics in reflective voices and speak out on what matters to them. Recently, one young person, who has had almost every educational experience possible, wrote a letter to the Nelson Star. She Story continues to Page 17

Q

How should I prepare my home for winter?

A

The cold grip of winter is just around the corner and we have already had a white blanket of it this season. Living in the Kootenays, beautiful as it may be, moisture issues are plentiful. Here is a checklist of winter home maintenance tasks that is typically conducted during a Home Maintenance Inspection.

Indoors:

Printing - Picture Framing - MailBoxes

ONE OF A KIND FRAMING!

• Inspection of your heating system. Clean humidifier two or three times during the winter season.

• Inspect your fireplace and chimney.

• Inspect dryer hoses and exterior dryer vents.

• Check furnace filter. Plan to change your filter every month during the winter to reduce energy costs.

• Check your air ducts. You can simply take off the register covers and vacuum inside if the duct system has been cleaned regularly.

• Check the batteries in your carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors.

• Check gauge on all fire extinguishers; recharge or replace if necessary.

• Inspect your attic to make sure it is getting cool, fresh air and that there is no evidence of condensation.

• Check to ensure sprinkler systems are blown out and winterized and exterior faucets and water lines insulated.

• Check the condition of your deck and waterproofing sealant.

• Check weather-stripping on doors.

• Check caulk on windows.

• Check roof for damaged or missing shingles or problems with flashing.

• Locate your snow removal tools: snow shovel, plows, and snow blowers. Make sure they are ready to go.

The time spent on simple winter maintenance will ensure more money in your pocket, which comes in handy this time of the year and you can enjoy your holiday season without any nasty surprises.

Q

What causes numbness and tingling in my forearms, and how can I treat it?

A

Nerve pain along with symptoms of numbness and tingling in the feet or hands which may spread upward into the legs and arms, burning pain, a sharp or electrical pain, and extreme sensitivity to touch can have a number of causes. This can result from traumatic injuries and repetitive strain, nerve compression, infections, vitamin deficiencies, and autoimmune diseases. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, this type of pain and dysfunction is caused by a blockage or lack of qi and blood circulation. If qi and blood don’t flow properly, it prevents the tissues from receiving nourishment and can lead to pain and functional problems. Acupuncture treatment typically will involve both local points to treat the meridians affected and the symptoms experienced, combined with points for strengthening and building up the body to augment qi-energy and blood.

Acupuncture shows promising results for those suffering from nerve pain. Studies have demonstrated that acupuncture may help to improve nerve conduction, and the World Health Organization recognizes acupuncture as a useful therapy for such neurological symptoms.

Acupuncture often brings immediate relief - especially when there is pain, though it will likely take a series of treatments for the feeling and strength to come back completely and for the body to stay in balance, providing lasting effects. How often or how long treatment should proceed will be individual. For more info on acupuncture and herbal therapy visit www.nelsonacupuncture.com

Q A

CrossFit is intimidating.

How do I take the first step?

CrossFit has developed the reputation of the work out that drop’s you to your knees and is only for the elite. This is far from the truth. Most CrossFit gyms specialize in “On Ramp” or fundamental programs to bring beginners or deconditioned athletes to a place where they are able to integrate into a group class. Even once you have moved out of a fundamentals class any work out can be modified for your fitness level. The unique thing about CrossFit is that the only way to achieve excellence is through failure. Don’t be afraid to fail, there’s always next time. Pushing yourself to fail is more of a mental thing than it is a physical thing. We have conditioned ourselves to think that failing is bad and therefore don’t push ourselves in fear of failure.

Take that fear away and see what you can accomplish.

5 tip for beginners: • It’s about you: You have to keep in mind that everyone is there for the same reason. It is hard not to be intimidated by a class setting but you have to remember that your there to better yourself and not compete with your class mates.

• Ask questions: Ask questions about your coaches back round, certifications and experience to make your more comfortable with the process. At Power By You it’s all about support so utilize the people around you. Remember, everyone was a beginner at one point.

• Scale: Be Honest with yourself and know your limitations. You are not expected to be or should expect to be an elite CrossFitter on your first WOD. Every workout has modifications and can be scaled to any fitness level.

• The good news is, it’s always hard: Yes, CrossFit is challenging. CrossFit never gets easier, you just adapt to the movements. When you start to see yourself getting stronger, leaner and faster you know it is all worth it.

• Take the plunge: The results you see from Crossfit transfer over to other aspects of life. The confidence that it delivers will allow you to perform activities you never thought possible. Not only will you feel better physically, but most people notice changes in their performance at work, at home, and in their relationships.

Just show up and watch what happens. CrossFit will change your life. www.powerbyyou.com or look us up on facebook “Power by You”.

Continued from Page 16 opens, “I am a 17-year-old girl who has had a diverse educational history.” She continues to describe how she is flourishing in this independent school and asks, “why is alternative independent education given less social regard, government funding and academic credibility than the public school system?

Alternative learning has given me more social care, a sense of community and full opportunity to explore and achieve my own learning plans. Learning is completely diverse as are the people invested in it.”

Another youth reveals her

desire for her spirituality to be present in her learning environment, and presents a picture of our current education system, which she feels was, “designed so many years ago to produce conformist factory workers and a small percentage of analytical professionals, and in our modern consumerist and ‘achievement’orientated society, young people are bombarded with pressure to focus on the three ‘R’s, fitting in to cultural ‘norms’ and making the most money.”

Q

What is Caveat Emptor?

A

It is Latin for: “Let the Buyer Beware” And perhaps somewhere way back there in your memory from High School Consumer Ed. Class, you may remember hearing this phrase.

This phrase is incredibly powerful when applied to the rather large investment of Real Property. In order for a Buyer to receive compensation from the Seller for a Latent Defect; the Buyer must prove that the Seller intentionally concealed it; therefore proving Fraud.

A “Latent Defect” is a fault in the property that could not have been discovered by a reasonably thorough inspection before the sale.

There was such a case in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice back in 2010 (Matz v. Copley) where the Buyer claimed that the Seller had deliberately covered up a significant structural defect. There was moisture and mould discovered in the basement behind drywall.

There’s a little too much information about this case to write in this little column, however, the long and short of it was: The Seller was able to prove that the drywall existed when they had purchased the property, therefore there was no fraud. Even though the seller had replaced the drywall during the course of ownership in order to access some plumbing behind it that needed work. The judge felt they had a legitimate cause to remove and replace the drywall.

It was ruled that: “ A vendor of Real Property does not have an obligation to inform the purchaser about Latent Defects, so long as there is no fraudulent step taken to conceal a defect that would otherwise be visible.

Citation: Matz v. Copley, Can Lll-2010 ONSC 5565 Can Lll Richard Hayles, BA, JD

•Use all of your senses when looking at a property, pay attention to your nose. If you have suspicions about something, check it out. I would even recommend taking a video of the inspection.

Q A

How can I be sure I am managing my debt properly?

Debt has been a major news story over the past several months and it is imperative that you have an independent debt manager working for you. Utilizing the free services of a independent Professional like myself will ensure you are protected from paying too much interest on your debts!

As a Mortgage Broker I consult my clients on how we can minimize the interest they pay on all of their outstanding debt. Unlike the banks which work in the best interest of their shareholders I work for the best interest of my clients.

In many cases bank employees cross sell a mortgage with other high interest products to appease management and ultimately the bank’s bottom line. Ask yourself, is the person across from me working in my best interest? I work for my clients not the banks!

Here is a classic example of situations I see every day: A client comes to me with ~$150,000 in debt which is a combination of a mortgage, line of credit and a credit card. In most cases this type of situation garners higher payments with minimal principle pay down. This common combination can take a lifetime to pay down because there is no pressure to pay down principle.

With a short consultation either over the phone or in person I can help to structure a plan to help monthly cash flow with an end date for debt. Call me today to get a Professional Debt Manager on your side!

Q

Certified Professional Coach and Certified Life Coach

But what if I fail?

A

Following on from the other week’s column about do you have GUTS, where we discovered perfection is an illusion. Let’s look at “failure”. What does that mean to you? If you don’t do something correctly did you fail? If the relationship you are in ends, did you fail as a partner? If the painting you are trying to create didn’t turn out as you thought, did you fail as a creative? Your kid is having challenges at school; did you fail as a parent?

No of course you didn’t!

Remember, perfection is an illusion and we have to try things over and over again, re-tweak until things work as we need them to. You know the old saying Ready, Aim, Fire? Ignore it, it’s in the wrong order; people get stuck on the AIM part and they keep waiting until they think it will be spot on, totally perfect before they ever FIRE. Thus, they don’t, as fear of making a mistake, or “failing” shuts them down. So let’s re-tweak the phrase to be READY, FIRE, AIM! Get ready, do whatever it is you want to do and then do it, if necessary tweak the focus. Repeat.

Oprah was fired from one of her early anchor gigs, after being labelled “unfit for TV.” Walt Disney was called “unimaginative with no good ideas” and fired. He started numerous companies that failed before he created Disney.

Lady Gaga was dropped by Island Def Jam Records after only three months.

Dr. Seuss had 27 rejection letters for his first book “To think I saw it on Mulberry Street.”

Marilyn Monroe was booted from 20th Century Fox, as producers declared her “unattractive”.

Beethoven was almost completely deaf when he composed “The Ode to Joy.” He removed the legs from his piano, placed it on the floor, letting the vibrations resonate through his body.

Thomas Edison was told at a young age he was “too stupid to learn anything”. 1000 unsuccessful attempts before the light bulb came into existence.

Verdi was rejected from a prestigious music conservatory in Milan, because he “wasn’t talented enough”. He wrote 28 operas including La Traviata, Aida, and Othello.

Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team.

So the bottom line is – failure is a good thing, from there we learn, re-tweak and venture out again. Remember READY, FIRE, AIM – REPEAT! (Repeating the process is key). Don’t give up, don’t hide under a rock, just re-tweak and try it again.

If you haven’t watched the kid’s movie “Meet the Robinsons”, I highly suggest it.

Q

How can We Make a Difference Together?

A

The power of we is the most powerful force in the world. We come together to have shared experiences that build memories that will enhance and strengthen those relationships in the days and years to come and working together to finish projects makes the workload lighter and more enjoyable. Imagine what can be done when a group of friends, a community, a province, a country or the world comes together to make a positive difference.

The most recent example of this is with Hurricane Sandy with people, communities and the nation coming together to assist those affected by the storm. Within our own community, we have many non-profit and charity organizations that come together to raise funds and support everything from diseases, to local community needs to international needs. Working together helps create change and can make a greater impact than working alone. Small businesses working together instead of viewing each other as competition will create a stronger local economy and open the door for positive changes to occur.

Within our own community, you will see plenty of examples of businesses working together and working with charities. At Mountain Waters Spa and Wellness we have created Karma week, which occurs the week prior to start of our yoga sessions to help benefit different charities. Our yoga instructors volunteer their time and students can participate in different classes by donation. We decided to extend this idea and create a Karma Christmas, with by donation yoga classes on December 24th, 25th and 26th. To make a greater impact to the charities we are planning to assist we have invited the local yoga community to participate not just the teachers of Mountain Waters Spa and Wellness. Sat Kaur has graciously donated the Moving Center space and use of yoga props and we have several yoga teachers from around the community volunteering their time to create a positive change. By working together we know that we can create a greater positive impact.

Take a moment today to think about how you can work with someone else, with another business or with a charity. Let’s celebrate people working together to make a positive difference in the world.

Kaslo, Terre Nouvelle Par : Karine Bégin

té qui aime par-dessus tout faire la fête. Festivals et évènements font partie intégrante de ce village, tout pour mettre en évidence sa riche histoire. Est-ce que vous saviez que Kaslo est la plus vieille communauté incorporée des Kootenays? Plusieurs évènements annuels attirent l’attention de la population mondiale dont le Suffer Fest, une compétition d’endurance athlétique qui se déroule au mois de septembre, et le festival de jazz au mois d’août, 3 jours de musique avec son unique scène flottante sur les

Voilà déjà un an, je mettais pour la première fois les pieds à Kaslo en Colombie-Britannique.

J'ai vécu mes premières années à Québec pour ensuite aller m’installer en Europe. Il y a 5 ans mon amoureux et moi décidions de lever les feutres, direction l’Ouest canadien, plus précisément, Whistler. Cette dernière année fut haute en émotions lorsque nous avons décidé de tout vendre (encore une fois!) pour déménager à Kaslo. Inutile de décrire le choc de s’établir dans une communauté contenant moins de personnes que mon école secondaire. Ma première pensée fut: «Que vaisje faire de moi, ICI?!»

Tout le monde n’avait que de bons commentaires sur Kaslo, pour ma part, tout droit arrivée de ma bulle ‘’Whistler’’, je n’y trouvais absolument rien de formidable. Quelle bonne idée de s’installer dans les Kootenays au début du mois de novembre!

Chers lecteurs, Deux mois déjà de passés depuis le début de l’année scolaire. À l’école des Sept-sommets de Rossland et l’école des Sentiers-alpins de Nelson les journées sont bien remplies et les activités de manquent pas. En voici quelques-unes qui s’en viennent pour les mois de novembre et décembre.

Aux Sentiers-alpins, deux parents sont venus peindre des jeux sur la cour de récréation, ainsi nos enfants peuvent s’amuser avec des jeux de marelle, de ballon carré, et de drapeau.

Aussi aux Sentiers-alpins, nous poursuivons les cours de yoga à chaque deux semaines, et aux Sept-sommets l’automne nous invite à la patinoire pour du patin libre.

Au mois de décembre, les incontournables ateliers et activités reliés à Noël prendront une grande place dans nos écoles.

Et tout ça en français, n’est-ce pas merveilleux?

Bon automne à tous.

JENISH HOUSE DESIGN LIMITED

TWO STOREY

ARTS-AND-CRAFTS CHARM The gently curving lower edge of its two gables lends this two-storey family home a touch of 19th-century Arts-and-Crafts charm. But inside, everything is up-to-date, with a layout that will delight the most discerning 21st-century family.

The covered entry, a bonus in inclement weather, leads into the foyer. A coat closet is on the left, with a two-piece powder room opposite. Also off the foyer is a den, perfectly situated for use as a home office, since clients will not have to traipse through the house.

The den’s closet means it can also serve as a guest room. The great room, located at the back of the home, features a double-height ceiling and a built-in fireplace. Generous windows look onto a covered deck. The dining room, which also overlooks the back garden, features sliding doors that lead to the same deck, the perfect place for all-weather barbecuing.

The kitchen boasts a spacious walk-through pantry, as well as an island with a raised eating bar, ideal for casual snacks and meals. The room is open to both the dining and great room, so the cook can keep tabs on family activities. The laundry room enjoys triple access—from the walk-through pantry, the foyer and the double garage. There’s enough room in the garage for a third car, a large wood-working project or an indoor play area, as well as a workbench.

The second floor, reached via a U-shaped staircase, contains the master suite, with an extra-wide window sill that could double as a cosy window seat. Beyond the large ensuite, which includes a soaker tub and a shower stall, is a roomy walk-in closet. The second and third bedrooms jut out under dormers and share a convenient split bath. Bedroom No. 3 features built-in shelves, as well as an extra-wide window sill.

Outside, shingle siding enhances the home’s curb appeal. Painted trim and pilasters on river-rock bases, partly mullioned windows and a double front door add to its rustic charm, as do the barn-style garage doors. This home measures 42 feet wide and 61 feet deep, for a total of 2,256 square feet. An unfinished basement is included in the plans.

Plans for design 7-3-934 are available for $746 (set of 5), $835 (set of 8) and $890 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.

Kootenay Based Ko W Writer Launches His New Novel H

Introduction to Latin American Culture

“ “Tuscan Dream”

Last Thursday Trafalgar Middle School held an assembly that featured a performance by Amigo Diego, a Latin American music and culture group. Diego Alcatraz has performed as a professional musician for over 50 years.

He was originally one of the trio El Presidantes from Mexico; a very popular group that performed for five Mexican presidents and is still heard on Mexican radio today. Diego has made Penticton his home for the past 30 years.

A total of 450 students clapped, sang, and even gave bull fighting a go.

A closer look into seniors’ health care in rural BC SUBMITTED Special to the Nelson Star

At the BC Ombudsperson’s presentation on seniors’ care in BC that was held in Nelson last September, many seniors and their caregivers asked where they could go locally for help with their present problems, to find options for support and to improve seniors’ living conditions.

It was suggested at these meetings that another local presentation would be advantageous to provide this information.

To this end, there is a free presentation at Selkirk College Rosemont campus in Nelson, Room 16, Thursday from 1 to 3 p.m. to give you this information and to answer your questions.

There will be representatives present from Interior Health Home and Community Care, Mountain Lakes Seniors Community, Lakeview Village, Jubilee Manor, Seniors Coordinating Society, WeCare Home Support, and Anderson Gardens to inform you of your options.

If you need further information, please contact Nelson and District Seniors Coordinating Society at 250-352-6008.

THINK LOCAL FIRST LIVE. SHOP. PLAY NELSON AND AREA What three businesses would you miss if they disappeared from Nelson?

Has it been a while since you shopped there?

Stop in….say hello…and pick something up. Make an ongoing commitment to spend at least $60 in your favorite stores. It’s pretty simple…. It’s your purchases that keep those businesses around When you think local first it allows your money to go full circle, right here at home… 360 degrees right back into our community.

Spend it out of market on line or over the line…..and NOTHING comes home.

S a l o n

B o u t i q u e

• Experienced, Toni and Guy trained Hair Stylists

Think local first. If we all made a commitment to spend more money locally….image the impact it could have on our economy…more jobs…more payroll…more local businesses… which really means a stronger tax base…that helps pay for public services for your family.

• Gel Nail and Brow Waxing Bar

Pick 3 ….Spend $60…your money goes full circle back into our community.

Offers you:

• Natural, Sulphate and Paraben Free Products • Keven Murphy and Lakme Dealer • Pravana, Plant based Natural Hair Color • Free parking

Monday-Sunday Walk-ins Welcome 902 - Nelson Ave Nelson BC Located accross from Lakeside Park Ph 250 505 4625 | follow us

With all the great shops and restaurants in Nelson and area… why stop at 3????
