Death in Single vehicle incident

New inland ferry being constructed for Upper Arrow LakeConstruction of a new ferry for the

Upper Arrow Lake route will create local employment and ensure that this safe and reliable transportation service continues for West Kootenay families, businesses and visitors.

The government of British Columbia has awarded a $26.5-million contract to WaterBridge Steel Inc. of Prince George to construct a new ferry for the 30-min-ute crossing between Shelter Bay and Galena Bay. It will be built in Nakusp, and provide employment opportunities for approximately 65 people for up to two years.

The new vessel will be drive-on,

drive-off, open-decked, and capable of transporting 80 cars and 250 passengers. It will have a larger vehicle and weight capacity, and faster loading and unload-ing times, which eliminates the need for an auxiliary ferry during the peak travel season.

“This project will provide good jobs for skilled tradespeople in British Columbia. The fact that a British Columbia company was the success-ful bidder in this competitive process shows that we do have the expertise here to design and build vessels to serve the travelling public,” says Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Blair

Lekstrom.“It is great news that the new ferry

will be constructed in the Village of Nakusp. A project of this size will have a positive effect on our local economy. This will provide our businesses and residents the opportunity to showcase our spectacular scenery and unlimited recreational activities,” says Mayor of Nakusp, Karen Hamling.

On Wednesday morning June 6, 2012, at approximately 8 a.m., the Slocan Lake RCMP received a report of a vehicle driving into Slocan Lake at the Slocan City Boat Launch.

Local Fire Department, Ambulance, RCMP as well as Search and Rescue responded. A car was located submerged in the lake, down from the Boat Launch. A local tow truck was utilized to recover the vehicle, however, it was unoccupied.

Further searches of the sur-rounding lake area were con-ducted. A body was later located under the wharf, about 6 - 8 feet below the water’s surface. (The wharf is beside and runs parallel to the boat launch).

The body was then recov-ered but unfortunately deceased at the scene. Witnesses have confirmed with the RCMP that the deceased was the only occu-pant of the vehicle when the car went into the lake.

The deceased is a local 76-year-old male. The name of the deceased is not being released at this time pending notification of next of kin.

The B.C. Coroner’s Service and RCMP are continuing to investigate the occurrence.

Aspiring and experienced anglers alike can cast their lines for free this Father’s Day weekend, as part of the 13th Annual Free Family Fishing Weekend.

This year’s celebration runs from June 15 to 17, and allows Canadian families to fish for free in most freshwater lakes and non-tidal streams anywhere in B.C. on all three days. With 47 different events planned in communities across the province, families have a wonderful opportunity to learn how to fish and explore our beautiful recreation sites.

These events are sup-ported by the Family Fishing Weekend Society, which provides financial assistance and materials, including fishing gear. The Freshwater Fisheries Society stocks 800 lakes and streams with more than eight million fish each year. Throughout the prov-

ince, hundreds of knowl-edgeable volunteers will share their advice and pas-sion for fishing with all who attend.

Families planning to fish at a location outside of a sponsored event listed on the Family Fishing Society of BC’s website are advised that people fishing for spe-cies requiring a conservation surcharge stamp or on classi-fied waters will still need to purchase these supplemen-tary licences. For informa-tion on these few exceptions, please consult page 61 of the 2011-13 Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis, avail-able online at: http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/fish/regula-tions/

In recognition of IYC2012, Canada Day and the 20th anniversary of the Nelson Electric Tramway Society (NETS), Nelson & District Credit Union (NDCU) is proud to be sponsoring free admission on the streetcar all day on Sunday, July 1, 2012.

July is fast approach-ing, officially marking the last half of 2012, the International Year of Co-operatives. This year, IYC2012, has been declared by the United Nations to highlight the strengths of the co-operative business model in furthering socioeco-nomic development around the world. Regionally, the Upper Columbia Co-op

Council has been celebrat-ing the initiatives of its members, including finan-cial co-operatives, like Nelson & District Credit Union, that have a history of caring about the needs of their members and their communities.

More information on these two longstanding community organizations can be found by stopping by the Nelson branch of Nelson & District Credit Union or jumping on the streetcar and chatting with one of their friendly con-ductors.

Clean. Drain. Dry. These simple steps will prevent zebra mussels and other aquatic invasive species from spreading into the waterways of the Kootenays.

Aquatic invasive spe-cies, such as zebra mus-sels, Eurasian water-milfoil and New Zealand mudsnails have devastating impacts where they are introduced. They can ruin fishing and recreational opportuni-ties, alter aquatic habitat for plants and animals, and block water intake struc-tures for hydro power.

“Our waters are pre-cious” says Margaret Hartley of the Slocan Lake Stewardship Society (SLSS). “We use them for recreation, drinking, and power genera-tion. Zebra mussel infesta-tions would affect all of us. It could mean anything from

higher hydro bills for all of us, or taking the kids to the beach and finding nothing but a smelly bed of dead mussels.”

Aquatic invasive spe-cies hitch rides on boats, equipment, fishing waders, and other gear to spread into new water bodies. If there is a place for water to collect, there is a chance that zebra mussels or other invasive species may be transported. Boats heading for B.C. that have zebra mussel stow-aways have been stopped at checkpoint stations in Idaho and Washington; however, there are currently no check-points for boaters com-ing from Eastern Canada. Luckily, zebra mussels have not been detected in B.C. waters yet although early detection monitoring activi-ties for the species has been very limited in B.C.

Selkirk College celebrated Teck Metals Trail Operation’s contribution to the Aboriginal Gathering Place, Thursday, May 31. Carol Vanelli Worosz, Communications Manager for Teck Metals Ltd., in Trail, accepted a hand-crafted metal art sculpture commissioned from B.C. Aboriginal artist, Clint George, in recognition of Teck’s $50,000.00 donation in support of the completion of the Aboriginal Gathering Place on the Castlegar cam-pus.

Clint George, a member of the Penticton Indian Band in the Okanagan, has been crafting metal art as a career for six years. His father, Grant, taught him how to weld when he was a young teen and together they run a busi-ness named Iron Indian. Clint considers creating artwork for others an honour because he becomes informed about cul-ture, places and stories.

The art piece that Selkirk College commissioned for Teck is representative of the relationship between the col-lege and the company, and

is portrayed in the form of a shield. The scene in the shield represents the rivers and mountains in which the college is located. The eagle represents knowledge and protection, which is welded on a red background that rep-resents strength and courage.

George accepted the com-

mission in March and attend-ed the open house on May 31 to deliver the piece himself.

Why does the hair on my arms not grow as long as the hair on the top of my head?

dr. scienceChristine Humphries

The growth cycle of hair is divided into three stages: anagen, catagen and telogen. Anagen is the phase during which the hair grows. At any given time, about 90% of the hair on your scalp is in the anagen phase; about 1-2% of hair is in the inter-mediate catagen phase, and the remainder is in the telogen resting/shed-

ding phase. (As an aside, it is during the telogen phase that hair naturally sheds, which explains the hair you might find on your pillow-case or in your hairbrush.)

The length that hair grows to on a particular part of the body depends on the duration of the ana-gen phase. For example, anagen lasts approximately 1000 days for scalp hair and only a few months for eyebrow hair. This is why most of us do not need to

use barrettes on our eye-brows!

The duration of the ana-gen phase is determined at the genetic level and con-trolled by many different growth factors and hor-mones. One study, pub-lished in 2003, showed that the epidermal growth fac-tor and its receptor func-tion as a control switch at the beginning and end of the anagen phase and regu-lates the transition from the growth to resting phases

of the hair cycle. Other studies have shown that the female hormone, oes-trogen, regulates the hair growth cycle transition from telogen to anagen and that the male hormone, androgen, regulates the duration of anagen. As such, although you may want dreadlocks on your leg hair, your hormones and growth factors will have the final say on what fashion statement you can make!

What’s in the Cupboard?Recipes from the Nelson Food Cupboard

Did you know?In 2011, Nelson Food Cupboard’s Harvest Rescue project brought in $15,000 worth of fresh produce with the help of 25 volunteers.

Local church donates farmland for the Food CupboardGood things are grow-

ing on Granite Road. The Nelson Food Cupboard is excited to announce a new partnership with Morning Glory Farm and Gardens. Earlier this spring ,local grower Sebastian Ellis began preparing gardens on land provided by the Seventh-day Adventist Church at 1502 Granite Road. So far, Ellis and other church members have built seven raised beds and they intend to farm a quarter acre of land this year. Ellis plans to use to the gar-dens supply fresh produce to the Nelson Food Cupboard. Concerns about local food security inspired Ellis to start the project. “I want every-body to be taken care of. I think people deserve to have healthy, organic food,” says Ellis. To fulfill this mission, Ellis is planning a three-year project that will recruit other churches with unused land

to grow vegetables, fruits and nuts. Squash, green beans, carrots and potatoes are some of the vegetable crops Ellis plans to donate to the Food Cupboard this year.

The Nelson Food Cupboard is a non-profit food bank that strives to provide customers with a variety of healthy food options. The Food Cupboard encourages local growers to donate excess fruits and veg-etables. If needed, the Food Cupboard�s Harvest Rescue volunteers can help bring in the harvest. �We owe our existence to the generous support of the local commu-nity. Each year we receive thousands of dollars’ worth of donated produce. Donations of fresh fruit and vegetables help us stretch our food dol-lars further,” explains Food Cupboard Coordinator Anna Kirkpatrick.

In the long term, Ellis hopes to expand the garden to two or more acres. For now, she is working hard to keep up with farm work and fund rais-ing. Ellis intends to host occa-sional community work parties

during the growing season. For more information

If an election were held today, who would you vote for? Click here or visit the link below

Last week’s survey responses:Are you in favour of free post-secondary education?

I don’t think post-second-ary education should be free, but I think there should be more assistance in the form of no-interest or extremely low interest loans, grants and scholarships. Post-secondary education is not a right to be taken for granted and paid for by the taxpayers; it is an opportunity that should be earned and valued.

P O S T- S E C O N D A R Y education is a necessity in the world of today, just as free elementary and second-ary schooling was necessary in the past, and was fought for and won.

NOT free, but certainly more accessible. I don’t agree with paying taxes for oth-ers to train in a high paying career, however, I don’t think our current system is fair. In Australia you have the option to pay tuition upfront (for a discount) or to pay a percentage of your salary once you graduate and are receiving regular income. That to me is about as fair as we can get.

WHY not make it free and perhaps allow for a raise in the mandatory age before quitting school.

I think it should just be a lot cheaper.

ANYTHING that is free gets abused.

NO Way. People place lit-tle value on things that are free. I am a post-secondary educator and see a huge dif-ference between the com-mitment of students who are paying for their own edu-cation vs. those fully-sup-ported by Mom and Dad. Tuition rates are reason-able as is, but student loans should be interest-free until a year after graduating and very low interest after that.

P O S T- S E C O N D A R Y education is available for those who want it (not necessarily “university”). I lament the new “entitled” generation many of whom have not learned to apply themselves. As a “mature” student at university, I wit-nessed a large number of fel-low students (not paying for themselves, or using student loans for their wants rather than their needs) who think they should party all night and squeak by to graduate. Then they expect pay com-mensurate with their edu-cation... completely ignoring the value of experience and maturity.

“EDUCATION is more than a luxury; it is a respon-sibility that society owes to itself.” (Robin Cook) We haven’t acted very responsi-bly toward education and it’s time to get real. Our future depends on it.

NOTHING is free. Taxpayers pay for everything and we already pay too much taxes.

NO but it should be much less expensive.

HIGH costs of post sec-ondary education are at the root of diverging class and socio-economic groups. We justify exorbitant salaries for certain work by creat-ing exorbitant costs and debt from higher education needed to get those jobs. Let people study what interests them and what they are good at, then let them earn a mod-est salary and contribute to a more equitable society.

I am in favour of reim-bursing tuition to students who maintain a high grade-point average, but I think that our post-secondary sys-tem needs to be revamped to determine who needs credentials and who doesn’t. Many jobs, which were for-merly learned through expe-rience now require post-sec-ondary training. Employers need to step up and train their workers. It makes more sense to me to forgive stu-dent loans than it does to subsidize car manufacturers or banks.

PERHAPS not free, but definitely more financially accessible to legitimate resi-dents!

HIGHER education is essential for our society and our country to survive. It makes no sense to import workers when we have youth unemployed. One of the main problems is universities and colleges have become large bureaucratic messes. The tuition truth - how is taxpayers money being used at universities and colleges?

I believe in an almost-free education. I strongly feel that the students are more committed if they contrib-ute either with their time or minimal amount of money. Let’s learn from Sweden or other European countries. And in return, people are happy to pay taxes for ser-vices because they trust their government. Sorry! Perhaps the banks, the government and those private collection agencies will go bankrupt. Ha!

INSTEAD of making stu-dents go heavily into debt, there needs to at least be a grant portion to the loans. I am in favour of free tuition so youth who come from families-in-need have more access to post-second-ary education. Rural youth are also at a disadvantage because they have to move in order to access their edu-cation. (ie, add rent, food, and other living costs to their tuition costs.)

Publisher’s note Ode to my father for Father’s Day

Nelson Becker

Dear Editor, At its recent biennial

conference in Castlegar at the Mir Centre for Peace, the B.C. Southern Interior Peace Coalition reviewed a range of threats to the peace and security of our world. Delegates unanimously endorsed:

Bill C-363 (for consci-entious objectors, to redi-rect/re-divert that portion of their taxes going to the Department of National Defence to peaceful pur-poses);

Bill C-373 (calling for the establishment of a feder-al Department of Peace), the Occupy Nelson Movement and the stand of university students in Quebec against proposed increases in their tuition.

Bill C-363 and Bill C-373 are both Private Members Bills put for-ward by Alex Atamanenko, Member of Parliament for the Southern Interior of British Columbia, and have received first reading in the House of Commons.

Commentary

The B.C. Coalition is an association of diverse mem-ber groups in the Boundary, Kootenay and Okanagan regions of B.C. Guiding principles are based in equal-ity, non-violence, social and economic justice, protection of the environment, and respectful communication to achieve peaceful solu-tions rather than resorting to violence. It is an avenue for sharing experiences, learn-ing from those experiences and supporting each other’s work for a world free of violence and lived honour-ing, valuing and supporting all humanity and Mother Earth. Member groups also belong to the Canadian Peace Alliance.

The B.C. Southern Interior Peace Coalition meets twice a year, usually in the spring and fall. For further information please contact coordinator Laura Savinkoff at [email protected].

Sincerely,Sandra Hartline

hello

Dear dad,It has been a long time since I spoke with you. I wanted to many times. Your last words to me when I

called you in the hospital still ring loudly to me. I still hear you answer my question with your reassuring words of being okay.

When you were alive, I never felt I got to speak and listen to you enough. Distance was one reason me in Nelson and you in New York. And my own business was, and is, taking up much of my time. But there is no good excuse.

Even though I was adopted by you, I never thought of you as anything other than my father.From you, I learned goodness and caring. From you, I learned to be inventive. I know you can hear me,

because you still answer my questions, and because you still give me encouragement.I love you. - Nelson

Joseph Plasko

passed away with his family by his side at Kootenay Lake Hospital, June 6, 2012

He is survived by his loving wife Lillian, his daughter Rita Shannon (Jim) of Abbotsford and son Neil (Michelle) of Kelowna. As well as his granddaughter Sherry Postnikoff of

Maple Ridge and grandson Steven Joseph Plasko of Kelowna and Great Granddaughter Kahli Postnikoff of Maple Ridge. He was prede-ceased by his son Lonnie in 2007

Joe was born October 11, 1928 in Bremen Saskatchewan. He was the youngest of 6 children of John and Katalin Plasko. He was predeceased by his 3 brothers, Michael, Adam and John as well as his 2 sisters Mary and Annie.

Joe had to end his formal education at the age of 12 as he was a big strong boy, and they needed his help on the family farm.

In 1949 he married Lillian Blaseg, who lived 3⁄4 of a mile away and he then took over a section of his parents farm.

In 1959 they took a trip to Vancouver Island to visit family. Their route took them through the Kootenay’s and Joe fell in love with the Nelson area.

When a business opportunity presented itself in 1962, they packed up their 3 children, moved west and purchased the Blewett Store. Their store and house became a focal point for many of the neighbourhood children

Within the year he also took on the Rural Route mail contracts of RR#2 and RR#3. He

Joseph John Plasko 1928 -2012

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our won-derful husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, Thomas Ainsworth Whitmore on Sunday June 10, 2012 at Castleview Care Hospital.

Tom was born

really enjoyed travelling the scenic roads and interacting with the many friends he made along the routes.

In 1975 they sold the store and Joe built his dream house on 5 acres below the store. He retired from the mail routes in 1989 and enjoyed his days tinkering around the prop-erty clearing brush and chopping wood. He created many miles of beautifully stacked woodpiles throughout the acreage.

In 2002 they sold the property and moved into Nelson.As his mobility decreased he grew to love sitting looking out his big picture window at the view of Nelson and Elephant Mountain. He called it his “big Screen TV”

Lillian has lost her “Bub” of 63 years and his grandchildren and extended family are mourning their “Papa Joe” His greatest joy in life was spending time with his family and he took such pride in all of them..

Joe was always fascinated with planes and took advantage of every opportunity to take a ride with local pilots. Once he moved into town he really enjoyed watching the planes flying in and out of Nelson Airport

Joe will be remembered as a gentle and generous man. He was always there to lend a hand when anyone needed help. Although Joe was large in stature he was a very quiet and modest man and never liked to be the centre of attention, so in accordance with his wishes there will be no memorial service. In memorium donations can be sent to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC & Yukon

Thank you to Dr. Lee, Dr. Murray, Rivka and all the home care workers who took such good care of Joe for the last 2 years.

He is now pain free and at peace after suffering for the last few years with heart dis-ease. God Bless

Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Thompson Funeral Service Ltd. On-line condolence may be expressed at www.thompsonfs.ca

December 21st, 1923 in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan. He was the last survivor of 7 siblings. He met his to be wife Dorothy Paysen in Moose Jaw where they married May 14, 1949. He came to British Columbia in 1953 with his wife and then two small children, Carol and Allen. In 1962, and after the birth of two more children, Janice and Brian, moved to North Bend, BC and then moved to Calgary, Alberta in 1963. Tom’s love of the outdoors resulted in him accepting yet another move with the Canadian Pacific Railway back to Nelson in 1968 where soon after, Wayne, the fifth and final child was born.

After attending Moose Jaw’s Technical School, Tom went to the CPR where he spent 42 years working as either an electrician or electrical foreman before retiring in 1980. His electrical career has passed on to sons and grandsons.

His family was his world and his wife of 63 years was the love of his life. Tom‘s free hours were spent with family and friends in the outdoors either camping, fishing or hunting. His love of gardening kept his family in fresh vegetables and fruit wherever they lived.

Tom will be sadly missed by his wife Dorothy, daughters Carol (Bill), Janice (Sid), and three sons Allen (Diane), Brian (Barb), and Wayne (Barb) and his 10 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.

A memorial service was held at Thompson Funeral Chapel June 14, 2012 with Pastor Ann Pollack officiating. Cremation has taken place and interment was at the Nelson cemetery.

At the family’s request, in lieu of flowers donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in Tom’s name would be appreciated.
