Esperanza Chiasson-Comelli stands in support of the Vow of Silence demonstration happening at LVR Highschool. “It touches on a concept that not alot of people are aware of - the lack of education for youth world wide.” In this issue

On Wednesday, Nov. 30, Canadian organization Free the Children is hold-ing its annual Vow of Silence, an inter-nationally proclaimed day whereby youth worldwide remain silent for 24 hours in solidarity for children glob-ally who are denied their basic human rights. Each year a majority of L.V. Rogers students don black mouthbands and refrain from any form of contact with others in order to raise aware-ness in the youth community about their peers around the world who are silenced by poverty, exploitation, and lack of basic rights such as education;

more than 121 million children, more than half of them girls, are unable to receive a formal education, and this is what Free the Children founder Craig Kielburger’s primary intent on rais-ing awareness is revolving around. To show your support for the youth in our community who are standing in solidarity for their peers across the globe, visit www.freethechildren.com/vowofsilence and make a donation to FTC’s international education fund, which has allowed the organization to build more than twenty schools in rural communities all over the world.

Slocan Valley Community Legacy Society (SVCLS), a recently created community fund with over $180,000 is holding two public information meetings in Slocan Park and New Denver. These meeting will offer a chance for community members to become informed and involved in the exciting work of this society.

The Kootenay Savings Credit Union has donated over $130,000 to the Fund, through the Kootenay Savings Community Foundation, which is in place to provide assis-tance to local community non-profit programs. The SVCLS is also eli-gible for the “Endowment Support Program”, from Columbia Basin Trust (CBT). The program will be used as a fundraiser to receive donations from the community. The donations will then be matched by CBT for up to $50,000.00.

The SVCLS is now an affiliate of the Osprey Community Foundation, which is based in Nelson. In only 11 years, the Osprey Community Foundation, a fund serving Nelson

and RDCK areas E & F, has managed to put $180,000 back into the commu-nities it serves and has a fund totaling over $5.8 million dollars. To learn more visit their website at http://www.ospreycommunityfoundation.ca/.

The current board would like to attract new members to form a larger board of approximately nine direc-tors. They are also looking to attract other professionals to form an advi-sory council. This council would not be a part of the board, instead just be available for professional advice.

To find out more, please attend information meetings, which will be held Nov 29th at Slocan Park Hall, and December 1st at the Knox Hall in New Denver, both starting at 7:00pm. There will be speakers at the meetings who will provide more detailed infor-mation regarding what the SVCLS is about and how you may get involved. Refreshments will be served. Please attend and get involved in this rare and wonderful opportunity.

For more information, contact Deb Corbett 250-355-2484

Members of SVCLS accept cheque. In the photo are Deb Corbett - Chair - SVCLS, Heather Burns - Director - SVCLS, John Brand - South Slocan Branch Manager - CU, Vivien Bower - Executive Director - Osprey Foundation, Tom Murray - Chair - Osprey Foundation

The Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) Central Resource Recovery Committee has recommend-ed that the Board ask staff to pursue opportunities to formally restrict the types of waste management activities that can be undertaken at the proposed future Nelson Transfer Station site. The direction comes in response to public concerns regarding future site development and a perception that landfilling, incineration, or large-scale composting may be planned for the facility.

The RDCK will request that the Ministry of Environment issue an Operational Certificate for the pro-posed transfer station, located at the end of Insight Drive in Blewett. The certificate would list landfilling, com-posting, and waste incineration as unapproved activities for the site. Operational Certificates, which are a regulatory requirement for landfills, are normally not issued for trans-fer stations since the environmental impacts of those facilities are assumed to be minimal.

On Saturday. Nov. 19 MP Alex Atamanenko met with the Nelson Catholic Cathedral Development & Peace Committee to accept our peti-tion to ask the Federal Government to stop the purchases of Bottled Water where potable water is available. This petition of some 1200 names will hopefully be presented in the house of parliament sometime before Christmas break. This initiative was suggested after a group of 90 youth from across the Nelson Catholic Diocese met in Nelson St. Joseph’s school for a Youth Justice Rally in Feb. 2011. At that Rally the needs for reduced use of bottled water in Canada & the world was presented. This was one of the actions that have occured since then in the Diocese.

We are very pleased with the pol-icy of the City of Nelson who banned bottled water in civic institutions some time back and are glad to see both Nelson Mayor, John Dooley and MP Alex Atamanenko have signed

their personal commitment to not use bottled water unless absolutely necessary.

The committee will be follow-ing-up with the Minister responsible for taking action on this petition and will report that information when received. We are also interested in the current policy of the Provincial Government on this issue and will in due course pursue this with our local MLA, Michelle Mungall. It would also be interesting to know the policy of the Regional District of Central Kootenay of which we will make inquiries.

The committee wishes to thank all those many people who signed their personal commitment to not use bottled water and for signing this petition to the Federal Government.

On behalf of the Nelson Cathedral Development & Peace Committee, Barry Nelson, 1918 Silver King Rd., Nelson, BC V1L 1C7, 250-352-2704

Wood stove exchange program

The Regional District of Central Kootenay received $27,500 from

the wood stove exchange program to encourage resi-dents to trade in their

smoky old wood stoves for a high-efficiency model or other clean-burning

appliance, Environment Minister Terry Lake announced today.

Earlier this year, the Province provided $200,000 to the BC Lung Association to continue and expand the successful wood stove exchange program into 2012. The funding allows the regional district and other participating commu-nities to offer a $250 rebate on the purchase of a new wood stove, insert, pellet stove or gas stove/fireplace. Dealers, manufacturers and suppliers may also offer additional discounts.

Does vitamin C help fight off a cold?

dr. scienceMorgan Dehnel

At the first tickle at the back of the throat many people rush out to the pharmacy to buy vitamin C tablets. But is there good proof that vitamin C can prevent or treat a common cold?

Vitamin C is a water soluble mol-ecule of ascorbic acid (meaning “with-out scurvy”), first isolated in 1928 by Dr. Szent-Gyorgyi, a Hungarian biochemist. Humans must obtain at least 10 mg of vitamin C from our diet to prevent scurvy, a disease caused by vitamin C deficiency. Since the publi-cation of “Vitamin C and the Common Cold” by Dr. Pauling in the 1970’s which reported that 1000 mg/day of vitamin C was effective at reducing the incidence of colds by 45%, many people take high doses of vitamin C at the first sign of a cold. Despite the popularity of this vitamin among cold-Dr. Science is in real life, Dr. Morgan Dehnel, a particle accelerator physicist, and resident of Nelson.

Please send comments or questions regarding this column to [email protected]

sufferers, the effectiveness of vitamin C in preventing a cold has remained scientifically controversial. A recent paper published in the journal of the Public Library of Science Medicine compiled data from 59 studies pub-lished between 1940 and 2004 that had reported on the effects of high levels of vitamin C on the incidence, sever-ity or duration of a cold. Analysis of the data from all these studies revealed that the incidence of a cold was only decreased in people who were exposed to extreme physical stress (eg. mara-thon runners, skiers and soldiers). In normally-active adults there was no effect of taking vitamin C on the inci-dence or the severity of a cold. The data did however show a minor reduc-tion in the duration of a cold (8-14% reduction in symptom days) in people taking vitamin C. Any decrease in the duration of a cold, even a very minor one, sounds good to me!

Rita Moir’s book becomes bestseller

“It’s very satisfying when one of our books makes the bestseller list,” says Diane Morriss, owner and publisher of Winlaw-based Sono Nis Press. “It proves we can compete with the big publishers.”

The most recent Sono Nis title to make it into the top ten best-sell-ing titles in British Columbia is Rita Moir’s local photographic history book, The Third Crop: A Personal and Historical Journey into the Photo Albums and Shoeboxes of the Slocan Valley 1800s to early 1940s.

The Third Crop is available through local bookstores or by order-ing direct from the Sono Nis website (www.sononis.com)

More information about Rita Moir and The Third Crop can be found online at www.sononis.com.

& soul, while capturing his mountain upbringing in the Canadian Kootenays. He’s created his own brand of evergreen soul, blending acoustic guitar, strings & piano in 13 stunning tracks. Opening the night will be country/folk sensation, Little Birdie. Be sure to make it out to The Royal for this real Kootenay treat!

Tickets $7 at the door.

SETTING IT STRAIGHT“Get Your Free Radon Testing” errorIn the Friday, Nov. 18

edition of the Express News Update there was an artilce titled “Get your free radon Testing.” This title was not

entirely true. Although the kit is free people wanting the kits are encouraged to make a $15 donation to cover the cost of the device.

This week marks the introduction of the first of two writers to the Kootenay Express Update commu-nity. Signe Bronson and Colin Greenlaw are L.V. Rogers high school stu-dents. They approached me with the idea of writing. I jumped at the opportunity to involve young people in the Update.

This week, Signe is writ-ing about Vow of Silence. We may live in a small town, but we are connected with the rest of the world. Signe reminds us of that.

Next week, Colin is writing about the season opening of Whitewater. He promises to let us know

what is new and exiciting.It is important for people

to feel they are being heard. It is important for people to feel that they can have an effect upon society. Without the belief that we can make a difference, we won’t make a difference.

Not everyone, whether they be high school students or adults understands the amount of power they really have in our society. The reality is that we do have power. All we need to do is express ourselves. I am proud to be able to give an opportunity to Signe and Colin to to communicate to the general public from a youth point of view.

Pets - Purely Natural

After successfully com-plying with all requests issued by the fire department, organizers at Occupy Nelson were hopeful that the City would grant their request to access public electricity. However the City countered with a proposal that involved dismantling the camp.

Today, Occupy Nelson responded. Below is the full text of Occupy Nelson’s response to City Council:

Dear Council and Mayor,While Occupy Nelson

finds your offer of space for a kiosk and use of the power during business hours in exchange for the removal of our tents and structures to be generous we must regretfully decline.

The homelessness issue in Nelson is such that even

our little amount of aid has become part of people’s lives. We cannot in good conscious remove our protest camp without a tenable solution that provides those in need with a safe space for the upcoming winter months.

We feel that the nature of the protest camp would change if such a space were available.

Thank you for your time.Sincerely,Occupy Nelson

In spite of the disman-tling under duress of vari-ous Occupy camps around the country, Occupy Nelson will continue on as it feels occupation serves an impor-tant political point in a time of worsening financial and environmental crisis. It is an appropriate response to the

problems facing our society.Why Occupy? A ques-

tion that is often asked of us at Occupy Nelson is why is it important for us to be occupying City Hall? Aren’t we hurting the grass? And, wouldn’t we be getting our message out just as effec-tively with an information kiosk?

The most immediate answer is that the most dis-tinguishing aspect of the Occupy movement is our tactic. Our message of unit-ing the 99% is a new way of advocating for the same kind of change that social move-ments and activists have been telling us we need for years. The difference with us is that we have committed ourselves to an ongoing occupation to be in solidarity with these movements and to keep their

issues in the spotlight.Public squares have a

long history of being used as a place for communities to assert their voice. When the Egyptians decided to end dictatorship in their country, they went to Tahir Square. To do so they violated many by-laws, possibly trampled a bit of grass, and as Canadians we expressed our full support.

The issues are no less real here. Austerity is com-ing. Working poor are losing their homes. The middle class are going further in debt. And the homeless are left out in the cold.

We are camped out as a constant reminder that the system is not working, and to inspire all of us to work harder as a community for the solutions that we all want to see.

In The HouseThe last two weeks in the House

saw several private members bills intro-duced, including mine, on strengthen-ing protections for students in private post-secondary education and thereby enhancing our domestic and interna-tional reputation as a desirable des-tination of choice for post-secondary students.

This was my first private member’s bill. There are many ways to address issues in the Legislature, and this meth-od allows an MLA who is not a Minister (i.e. in Cabinet) to propose legislation. It is then up to the Cabinet to move the bill onto the two debate stages. In BC, Cabinet rarely moves a private mem-ber’s bill forward, but this doesn’t make presenting them a wasted effort. In my case, for example, I’ve put together some important steps to improve our private post-secondary system since the Liberals have been lax on this issue. Members of the public can now see

Michelle Mungall, MLA for Nelson-Creston

Commentary Updates from the House

Opinion&EditorialOccupy Nelson responds to city proposal By Brett Rhyno on Behalf of Occupy Nelson

where the NDP plans to go on this issue and offer feedback.

To view the bill and watch me presenting it in the Legislature, visit the News section of my website, www.michellemungall.ca.

Being in the House also allows

MLAs to meet more regularly, so I took advantage of that to finally sit down face to face with the Minister for Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to discuss Meadow Creek Cedar located at the North of Kootenay Lake. This was a fruitful meeting where I was able to gather important information about the Ministry’s investigations into the mill’s infractions and what may lie ahead for the community. Additionally, I was able to secure an ongoing working relation-ship with the Ministry on this issue.

The House will now recess until February when we will pick up where we left off. Keep following this column to stay up to date with what’s happening in House in 2012.

THE ANSWERS TO LAST WEEKS SURVEY

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TransferStationThe deadline for submitting responses to these surveys is noon, Thursday, Nov. 17.

We will present the results of this week’s survey in our next Update.

Has the Occupy Movement affected you?continued growth can not continue - they all contrib-ute to over use and deple-tion of resources, Greed is a disease. We need to learn to live more simply and within our means. The O. M. is a tiny yet vibrant call to give us all a ‘kick in the butt’. Most of our society (99%) will continue their old ways, the 1% will continue to work for nec-essary change, which will ultimately ‘save’ the 99% . History has proven that minorities (1% or less) have had a huge impact on the majority (99%). It won’t hap-pen in my Lifetime, but still it’s nice to see that change will happen, the turtle won the race against the hare.

IT didn’t affect me, but makes the City Hall grounds look like a dump.

IT has given me hope.IT’S brought economic

inequality into the open for all to discuss.

RAISED my courage to speak out regarding the disparity in incomes with-in Canada and moreover between Canadians and others across the world.

MADE me aware and empowered to help change for the better.

THE key thing about the O.M. is that it raises aware-ness of main issues (and smaller yet very important other issues, confronting our society). Change can only happen within. Our economic system is ‘sick’. Capitalism, consumerism,

Yes No

Nelsons most valuable communi-ty asset is without doubt our waterfront lands.

Soon the transfer station will be mov-

ing away from one of the most beautiful spots in our commu-nity. The land will then be available for redevelopment.

There are big

obstacles to over-come as the land is built on fill and is potentially hold-ing a lot of pollution underneath. Digging down can end up

being an expensive cleanup project. None the less, there are things that we can do to be able to enjoy to enjoy those lands.

What to do with Nelson Transfer Station Land?
