Alien species invades west kootenayAn extremely aggres-
sive invasive plant species that has the ability to dam-age property, impact bio-diversity, and affect water quality, may be growing in your backyard. The Central Kootenay invasive Plant Committee (CKiPC) is focusing efforts this summer on educating residents of Nelson about invasive knot-weeds and their impacts.
“invasive knotweeds can grow 1m per month and have the ability to push through concrete, brick and asphalt” says Crystal Klym, Executive director of CKiPC. “These knotweeds form such a dense thick-et that nothing will grow underneath them, which impacts biodiversity, water quality and fisheries habitat along stream edges. Once established, these plants are extremely difficult to get rid of.”
Knotweed, also called “false bamboo,” grows up to 5m tall and its roots can spread up to 20m away. The three species in the West Kootenay include Japanese, giant and Bohemian knot-weed. The tall, bamboo like stems and thick patches of this plant makes it relatively easy to identify.
invasive knotweeds are considered to be one of the world’s worst invasive species, and are designat-ed as “noxious” under the BC Weed Control Act. in a recent planning session in Nelson, invasive knotweeds were identified as one of the highest priority species for control.
CKiPC successfully applied for funding from the Columbia Basin Trust Community initiatives Program for the “Not-A-Weed” project in Nelson. CKiPC representatives
Knotweed with person: Invasive knotweeds grow up to 5 m tall and will shade out anything growing beneath them.
will conduct an inventory of knotweed in the City of Nelson, contact residents who have knotweed on their property, and will provide information on its control and safe disposal.
For more information
on this project, contact the Central Kootenay invasive Plant Committee at 250-352-1160 or go to:www.ckipc.ca

Why does skunk spray stink and how can i remove it?
There seem to be many skunks in Nelson this year, and your dog or cat may have the unfortu-nate experience of being sprayed by a skunk. But don’t buy tomato juice just yet! There is no scientific evidence that it helps in removing the smell. Skunk spray con-tains sulfur compounds called thiols (also known
as mercaptans). There are thousands of different kinds of thiols, which have a chemical structure like alcohol except that there is a sulfur atom instead of an oxygen atom. For exam-ple, ethanol has a formula of CH3CH2OH and the thiol, ethyl mercaptan, has a formula of CH3CH2SH. in skunk spray two thiols cause most of the smell: (E)-2-butene-1-thiol and 3-methyl-1-butanethiol.
The guiness Book of World Records calls thiols
the smelliest molecules on earth! To get rid of the skunk smell, it is necessary to chemically neutralize the thiols. in other words, the thiols must be changed into a different type of (non-smelly) molecule. This can be done by using an oxidizing agent which adds an oxygen atom to the thiols. One recipe i found on the internet recommends washing a sprayed dog with a solu-tion containing 1 quart of 3% hydrogen peroxide, ¼
cup baking soda and 1 tsp liquid detergent. The oxygen from the hydro-gen peroxide oxidizes the thiols and converts them to sulfonic acid, a com-pound with no smell. --iMPORTANT -- dO NOT STORE this solution as the oxygen released may cause the container to explode!!!) in contrast, all tomato juice will do is mask the smell of the thiols or, at best, make it slightly easier to wash the spray off the dog’s coat.

Summer Outdoor Leadership & Development Initiatives for YouthAugust 19 -29 Tipi Camp
This summer, 10 youth (aged 16-19) from the Columbia basin can take part in an 11-day outdoor leadership pro-gram. The SOLidiFY program (Summer Outdoor Leadership & development initiatives for Youth) is an opportunity for young adults to develop their communi-cation and problem solving
skills through a series of leadership initiatives, out-door skills workshops and a multi-day backcountry trip. The application deadline is July 15th. Visit www.koo-tenaysolidify.com for more details and to apply online. SOLidiFY is a concept born from several years of high school leadership programs, tripping camps, guiding and
world travel. Ryan van der Marel will be running the program with Monica Nissen, Sandra Bernier and Kate Nott. When asked why this program is important, Ryan said, “i believe in the potential of youth to pro-vide insight and solutions to societal issues and i feel that everyone should know the natural environment as
part of being a global citi-zen. The outdoors is truly an invaluable learning tool and the SOLidiFY program is designed to empower youth to become better global citi-zens.” For more informa-tion, contact: www.kootenaysolidify.com 250-551-0417

Johnsons Landing tragedy: one year laterOn the one-year anni-
versary of the Johnsons Landing landslide that claimed four lives and destroyed numerous homes and properties, the Regional district of Central Kootenay expresses its deepest sym-pathies to those impacted by this event.
John R. Kettle, Chair of the RdCK said that “a year later we are still under emergency order concerning Johnsons Landing. This has been a monumental effort of coordination working with the Premier, Attorney general, and the Ministries of Health; Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations; Transportation
and infrastructure; Community, Sport and Cultural development; and Environment. in addition, Emergency Management BC has been working with our local staff with a sup-port effort nothing short of spectacular.”
“Not everyone will be satisfied with the outcome of this situation,” said Kettle. “it may require a change in legislation to address situations like this in the future. That being said, we continue to treat this hor-rible event with the respect and reverence it demands. The Premier and Ministers have done everything they said they would do and then
some; they have our sincere appreciation and thanks.”
“This has been a dif-ficult year for those prop-erty owners, residents and the families affected by this devastating tragedy and we sympathize with their loss-es.” states Andy Shadrack, Area d director for the RdCK.
Recent monitoring of the land above the tiny commu-nity of Johnson’s Landing revealed that the slope has moved 15 centimetres since May, which is not alarming or unexpected. However, in the interest of public safety, geotechnical engineers have recommended that the evac-uation order remain in place
pending further monitoring in mid-August.
The RdCK is in the pro-cess of examining the recom-mendations of the Johnsons Landing geotechnical Report released in May and will make implemen-tation recommendations in the coming months. in the meantime, the RdCK and the Province continue to work with the affected prop-erty owners in the recovery process. For further infor-mation, please contact:Brian Carruthers, EOC director, RdCK Emergency Operation Centre, (250)352-8152

CommunityNewsPool set to re-open August 6 Auquatic Centre to re-open on Tuesday, August 6
The Nelson and district Community Complex Aquatic Centre is sched-uled to reopen August 6, the Regional district of Central Kootenay announced today.
“All our staff and clients are really looking forward to seeing the busiest aquatic facility in the Kootenays up and running again,” said Joe Chirico, general Manager of Community Services.
With the upper deck ceiling now complete, crews are working on the lower deck ceiling and expect to finish by July 19. dan Maglio Contracting has been working with Morrison installation to apply the ceiling’s spray-foam acoustical treatment
to dampen sound and Kootenay Lake Electric will follow close behind to install the new LEd light-ing system for the pool area. “i know families in particular are anticipat-ing the pool reopening, especially at the height of summer when it’s impor-tant for kids and adults to improve their swimming and lifesaving skills,” said Chirico.
Regular aquatic pro-gramming including swim-ming lessons will also begin on August 6. Parents wish-ing to enroll their children in lessons can contact the NdCC to sign up now. All employees have been recalled from their tempo-
rary layoffs and will return to work in stages between now and August according to seniority and their role at the facility.
“The Recreation Commission is really pleased with progress on the project so far given how unexpected this closure was for our community and how difficult it has been for our user groups in particular. We want to make sure that any improvements we do now ensure that our competitive and synchronized swim-mers, seniors and fami-lies can count on having a really good recreation facil-ity for the long term,” said Ramona Faust, Recreation Commission Chair and Area
E director. This is only the first phase of the project. The RdCK will begin plan-ning for the second and final phase of the repair and reno-vation project in fall 2013 when the community will be invited to provide input into further design options for the aquatic centre to make it a more functional and invit-ing space. Construction for phase two will begin in 2014 with the goal of extending the life of the facility into the coming decades.
The RdCK will contin-ue to update the public regu-larly. The RdCK is thrilled to welcome everyone back to their pool!

Vapour barrier
A question to ask yourself if there any evi-dence of moisture prob-lems in the existing build-ing envelop. The signs to look for here would include water damaged/stained finishes, visible mould growth, blistered or peeling paint, deterio-rated or missing caulk-ing, and condensation on wall, window, or ceiling surfaces. if you see any of these issues present the next step is to determine the severity of moisture within the building. This
may involve cutting holes in wall and ceiling sys-tems to view what is hap-pening behind them.
Additional ways to help reduce the moisture build up inside your home are:
To “sandwich” a vapour barrier between two sheets of drywall may not be a reasonable solution. Just as moisture can build up from the inside you could have moisture in the walls from the exterior. if this moisture condenses at the vapour barrier the wall cavity may not breathe and evaporate the moisture adequately as
it would saturate the first layer of drywall from the exterior. This could create a place for moulds to flourish and potential for rot dam-age within the wall system. Another way of tackling this issue is the use of vapour retardant paints, which may result in a lower cost than removing and re-install-ing the drywall. However you may also want to take advantage of the opportu-nity to increase your insu-lation values if you choose to remove the drywall to add your vapour barrier.
• don’t add extra
moisture by using humidi-fiers or kettles on wood stoves
• Use your kitchen and bathroom fans religiously
• install a dehumidi-stat to your bathroom fan
• Ensure adequate ventilation of roof and crawl-space
• install a vapour bar-rier to exposed earth in your basement or crawlspace
• Ensure roof drain-age is taken away from the building foundation
• Seal all electrical switches and outlets installed in the exterior walls
Can I install a vapour barrier over the existing drywall and install another layer of drywall over top or, should I remove the existing drywall and install the vapour barrier and re-drywall?Home Front by Bill Lynch,

Nelson City Police news: stolen vehicle, boat rescueOn July 10, 2013
Nelson Police received a report of a stolen vehicle. The owner of the vehicle had just moved back to Nelson and had parked her vehicle on the street in front of her residence the previous eve-ning. She also reported she could not find her keys but had advised a friend who believed she saw the vehicle in the Rosemont area during the night. Nelson Police investigators conducted inquiries in the area where
the vehicle was last seen and this led to the recovery of the vehicle abandoned on Bealby Point Rd. Several people were identified in the investigation and have been interviewed by investiga-tors. To date the investiga-tion continues and Nelson Police are asking anyone with information regarding the theft of the vehicle to come forward.
On July 11, 2013, Nelson Police received a report of a boat in distress
on Kootenay Lake just past the Orange Bridge. Nelson Police deployed their boat in order to investigate the report and assist the boat owner. Once out on the lake, it was determined that the initial boat in distress had been assisted by the Nelson Sailing Club, but in turn the Nelson Sailing Club zodiac required assis-tance as it had developed motor issues. NPd towed the NSC boat to the City wharf. Once at the wharf,
it was determined that the NPd boat was in trouble due to debris caught in the jet intake. The members of the Nelson Sailing Club then assisted NPd members in unclogging the jet intake so that NPd could resume marine patrols. We would like to thank the Nelson Sailing Club for rendering assistance to the initial boat in distress then being on hand to assist NPd.

RCMP news: pavement vandalized, capsized canoeOn July 9, 2013 the
Ministry of Transportation reported that new paving in the Krestova area had been damaged by a vehicle spin-ning it’s tires on the fresh asphalt. Walter Popoff, RdCK director also report-ed the incident to police. “The regional district has worked very long and hard on getting this proj-ect approved and it is very upsetting to see mischief occurring.” Together with the RdCK, Nelson RCMP
are asking for the public’s cooperation in protecting this huge investment into the Krestova area. Police are asking anyone seeing a vehicle damaging the new pavement to take down the licence plate number and call Nelson RCMP or CRiME STOPPERS.

Shortly after 4 p.m. on July 16, 2013, police received a call that there
was a capsized canoe with a number of people in the water in the Columbia River at Rock island in Trail.
Police and the Fire department responded, with deployment of the Fire Rescue boat. Prior to the arrival of the res-cue boat, the family of five made it with their canoe to the west shore of the river. After emptying the canoe of water and loading up again, they paddled across to meet with emergency personnel,
and confirmed everything was ok.
While going through the rapids at Rock island, a whirlpool caught the end of the canoe and pulled it in, causing the capsize. Everyone was wearing life jackets and held onto the canoe, eventually getting out of the whirlpool and across to shore. There were no injuries.

if you haven’t bought your tickets yet for “Raising the Curtain for Pat and Maia”, what are you wait-ing for? The show is going to be one to remember with some of Nelson’s fin-est talent volunteering their time to support the fam-ily of Nelson residents Pat Henman and her daughter Maia, who are recovering in a Calgary hospital after a devastating car crash in early June.
Raising the Curtain’s director Karen Agnew describes some of what the audience can expect. “The evening is going to start with
a reuniting of Shenango, a well-loved women’s choir directed by Allison girvan. Pat was a featured singer in this group for many years and they are coming back together just for her. And that’s just the beginning. The show will also feature Lucas Myers singing two of his “infamous” songs, Hiro ida and Thomas Loh will be performing a dance number, Aspen Switzer on the grand piano and Louis Butterfield will reprise one of his numbers from Cabaret, the show Pat directed earlier this year. There is so much more, and
you won’t want to miss the grand finale”, says Agnew. “We’re keeping that hush-hush. You’ll have to be there and believe me you won’t want to miss it.”
Supporting Karen is technical director Rhonda Kirby and stage manager Janet McCulloch. “This event is such a perfect example of how communi-ties come together to take care of their own,” states Kirby. “When we put out a call for performers the response was immediate. Every single person we asked said yes, anything for Pat.”
Tickets are $30 and $50 and are available at the Capitol Theater during box office hours (Noon - 4:30 Tuesday- Friday) or call 250-352-6363.
Tickets can also be pur-chased online at: https://tickets.capitoltheatre.bc.ca/TheatreManager/95/login&event=0

A little over two years ago, Scarlett Jane appeared on the scene as one of the most anticipated new collab-orations in current Canadian music: the marriage of the distinctive songs and haunt-ing voices of Andrea Ramolo and Cindy doire.
Since they began with an impromptu per-formance at a folk music conference, the duo have released their debut Cd, Stranger, played more than 150 shows, toured in five European coun-tries, and were nomi-nated as Best Emerging Artist at the Canadian Folk Music Awards, and best folk/roots group at the Toronto independent
Music Awards. Both Andrea and
Cindy are experienced road warriors; Cindy is a bilingual performer from Timmins, Ontario, who has toured extensively in Canada and France as a solo performer and Andrea is a first generation italian-Canadian with four cross-Canada tours behind her. At all their western Canadian performances, they are joined by fiddle player Sahra Feathertone.
Stranger, their debut recording, captured their strength and vulnerability, and delivered a progressive roots sound which embodies the raw and candid demean-our of Lucinda Williams,
the sensuality of Stevie Nicks and Nick Cave, and the tender playfulness of dolly Parton.
Scarlett Jane is now under the wing of Management Trust, a Toronto-based company that also handles the career of Adam Cohen and a dis-tinguished group of pro-ducers and engineers. Jack Ross, senior vice-president of The Agency group, has been appointed the duo’s agent.
Scarlett Jane is current-ly preparing demo record-ings for their next album. Check the girls out at:www.scarlettjane.com

July MarketFest is almost here Friday, July 26 from 6 - 10:30 p.m, Downtown Nelson
MarketFest is once again back on Baker Street this July 26 starting at 6 p.m. and going until 10:30 p.m. This is a rain or shine event but with some luck the weather will be beautiful, the sun will shine, and the music will soar. This MarketFest musical line up includes Lisa Nicole, James Lamb, Shane Philip, Brian Rosen and the WhatNow and many more.
EcoSociety’s Markets director Jesse R. Woodward is once again working with vendors, business owners, and city agencies to ensure that July MarketFest is a great suc-cess. “June MarketFest was a huge hit and was the biggest MarketFest since it all began 7 years ago” he said. “i think about 2000 people came out to enjoy that event and we are hop-ing for much of the same for July MarketFest.”
MarketFest attendees will have a fantastic variety of products to chose from including hand-made hats and shoes, locally made clothing and jewellery, and an array of body and home care products and, of course, lots of different and delicious ready to eat foods. MarketFest will once again have a food court area on Kootenay Street that makes it very easy for festival goers to find and choose from the wide selection of ready to eat foods that will be on hand. What better
way to spend a warm sum-mer evening than eating scrumptious fresh foods, shopping for locally made goods and listening to wonderful live music.
The West Kootenay EcoSociety operates MarketFest as a project to promote a relocalization of our economy and to create a meeting place for arts, culture and community networking. Ecosociety is able to put on Marketfest due to generous funding from the Columbia Basin Trust, the City of Nelson, Nelson and district Credit Union as well as help from numerous other local businesses including The Bridge, The Nelson Brewing Company and the Kootenay Coop. The EcoSociety also runs the Saturday Cottonwood Community Market at Cottonwood Falls Park and the Wednesday Nelson downtown Local Market on the 400 block of Baker Street.
West Kootenay EcoSociety is a non-prof-it organization located in Nelson BC. Through education, outreach, community building, research, and advocacy, the EcoSociety works to protect the natural envi-ronment while building a just and sustainable post-carbon world.

Iconoclast performer R.A. The Rugged Man Thursday, July 25 at 9 p.m. Finley’s Irish Bar and Grill, Tickets: $20 at the door
On Thursday, July 25 at Finley’s irish Bar and grill, the influential and contro-versial R.A. The Rugged Man will be performing for the first time in Nelson.
Having done over 500 shows in the past few years with the likes of Snoop dog, Odd Future, Maclemore, Atmosphere, Busta Rhymes and the list goes on, R.A The Rugged Man is now on a world tour which is sell-ing out shows everywhere. His Canadian tour starts this week. Afterwards he’ll be headed over to Europe in August to headline Hip Hop Kemp with Kendrick Lamar and KRS-1. He will also be seen rocking the stage in Switzerland with Mac Miller, Yellawolf and Wu-Tang Clan. He’ll then be headed back to the U.S. headlining with Too Short and ghostface Killa at the AC3 festival in Atlanta.
Originally from a bro-ken home in Long island’s Suffolk County, R.A. was raised by a Vietnam vet-
eran/mental patient father whose exposure to Agent Orange left his brother Maxx physically and visu-ally impaired and his sister dee Ann unable to walk or speak. Finding refuge in Hip-Hop, R.A. began his whirlwind rap career at the age of 12. His immedi-ate growth as an artist and constantly raising profile soon caught the attention of the majors and R.A. found himself at the cen-ter of a nine label bidding war. While he eventually signed with Jive, his vile behavior proved too much for the label to handle as they left him to die without an album in stores to his name.
Currently, R.A. finds himself in the studio, readying his new album for Nature Sounds. Joined by celebrated producers Buckwild, Marco Polo, Ayatollah and Lil Fame of M.O.P., it promises to not only live up to his legend-ary standards, but exceed
every grimy expectation. A traditionalist, innovator and trailblazer, R.A. has devot-ed his life to Hip-Hop, stat-ing “The only reason i live is to be the best at what i do and i get better at it every year of my life. i can’t wait to unleash it to the world.”
R.A. The Rugged Man brings with him dR OOP and the opening set is by dJ Ripple. for more information check out the facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/400975873354715/

Juno nominees and raucous roots string wizards, Sultans of String, are touring widely in support of their 3Rd and aptly-titled Cd, MOVE, and hit the sizzlin’ Kaslo Jazz Fest August 2, and local hub, BlueBelle Bistro, August 3!
Known for dizzying roots music jams, polyrhythms and revved up riffs, Sultans of String can’t be pinned down -- it’s Sable island meets the Silk Road, with detours through the gypsy-Jazz coffeehouses of Eastern Europe, next an East Coast Kitchen Party, then over to the streets of Havana.
Seamlessly traversing diverse themes of heart, place and tradition, fiery violin dances with kinetic guitar -- throughout, acoustic strings meet electronic wizardry to create layers and depth of sound.
Led by six-string violinist and bandleader, Chris McKhool grew up in a house bursting with music and diversity. His paternal Makhoul grandparents immigrated to Canada from Lebanon in the early 1900’s. His Egyptian-born mother is a piano and theory teacher. growing up Chris was fed a steady diet of delicious musical-ity along with Middle Eastern cuisine and violin lessons.
From a very young age McKhool was taught the Canadian values of tolerance, respect for all peoples and celebration of culture. His passion for exploring the rhythms and melo-dies has led him to the far corners of the world, collecting instruments and styles everywhere he went. Travels to the Canadian Arctic, indonesia, France, England, Cuba, Peru, guatemala, Costa Rica and the indian Himalayas to perform and conduct music workshops have added to his depth of musical and spiritual under-standing of our global community.

KEITH, Eleanor JoyceKeith, Eleanor Joyce, of Antigonish, passed
away on Friday, July 12th, 2013. Joyce passed with the same dignity with which she met her final illness.
Born in Clarkesville, NS, to parents Edna Bessie ‘Teddy’ (Bulmar) and John Reginald Campbell, she quickly proved to be an ambitious dedicated student, eventually traveling by train twice daily to Windsor for high school. This was followed by a RN diploma from Aberdeen hospital in New Glasgow. Brief stints of nursing in PEI, Nova Scotia, and Ontario served as stepping stones to the glamor of flight as a stewardess of Trans Canada Airlines (TCA). In a recent interview Joyce was quite emphatic that, “I became a flight attendant to be able to fly, not to be a flight attendant”.
Joyce had a regal presence which nicely com-plimented her affection for tradition. Friendship mattered to her greatly, as she was devoted and loyal to her friends throughout her life.
She is survived by her children: Gregory Keith (Joanne Bieler), Nelson, BC: Stacey Ellen Steeves (Brian); Lanark; grandchildren: Benjamin and Christopher Keith, Oliver Steeves (Kara Kilfoil) and JJ Steeves (Matthew Morgan); great grandchil-dren: Charlotte, Beckett, and Ellen Steeves; Sister Helen Rae Meehan (Winston), Upper Rawdon; sis-ters-in-law Joyce Campbell (Ken), Parrsboro and Ada Campbell (Bernard), East Gore; and her many beloved nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be held at C.L. Curry Funeral Home, 135 College St, Antigonish on Wednesday form 2-4pm and 7-9pm. Funeral service will be held in St. David’s United Church, Cape George on Thursday at 11am. Burial in the church cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be directed to the RK Nursing Home Foundation. Online condolences: www.clcurry.com

The mural outside of the old Extra Foods super-market is a w o n d e r f u l
idea because it makes it clear that we must be liv-ing in the present. There really is no time like the present to do all those things we’ve been think-ing about.
While it is true we may pass from this existence at any time, i believe it’s also important to have the
imagination that we will live to be 200 years old. if you have the sense you’re going to live to live till 200, you will create a very sturdy foundation in life for yourself, your family and your community. if you should happen to pass before the 200 years is up, rest assured someone else will take on the projects you have started.
So live your life as if you will reach the age of 200, but don’t procrasti-nate along the way.

wanted to point out some folks that i am a fan of.
First up is a man known as Anthony Fantano, who runs a site/YouTube channel, called “The Needle drop”. He does reviews of newer music of the independent persuasion and provides an in depth service and insight-ful reviews, check him out.
Secondly, is TEd. i’m sure many of you know what that is but for those that don’t; TEd is a global series of conferences that feature numerous speakers on a variety of subjects,
check it out as you’re bound to find a speaker who speaks to you.
Lastly, i mention doug Walker. doug is one of many of the faces of thatguywiththeglass-es.com. They provide a myriad of reviews of var-ious facets of pop culture, from movies to comics; you can find numerous reviews both factious and humorous.
This week’s article was a bit of a detour but i felt it was important to show where i get some of my inspiration from in hopes that i can inspire you as well.

TheSurvey
Does Nelson have enough outdoor recreational facilities?
I would love to see an out-door (or even indoor) run-ning track. It is difficult in Nelson as there is little flat land available, but sports field access is minimal for some sports.
Is this the only town in the Kootenays without an out-door swimming pool? that lake is cold until August
NelsoN is always begging the Provincial and Federal governments for money to pay for the infrastructure and still need to borrow money for infrastructure. That’s because they find all kinds of money for fun stuff rather than necessities.
Is Nelson and area your permanent home?
Finding a home is not always easy. home is not necessarily where you were born or where you have spent most of your life. home, in this question, means a geographical location that
resonates so deeply with your spirit, that you cannot imagine living anywhere else. home means you may travel, but at least you will have somewhere to store your stuff.
