Capturing a Perfectly Memorable Day in the Life of Nelson Bob Hall photo

On June 28, � ve photographers blanketed the community with their cameras to record the Nelson Star’s annual Day in the Life feature. On a foggy morning, many great images emerged including this one of the Kootenay Rhythm Dragons practicing just after 7 a.m. Check out today’s B-section for 60 more photos from that day.

Kaslo hears of plans to keep cheetahs in town

A couple with close ties to Kaslo is considering bringing their two chee-tahs to the north Kootenay Lake community in hopes of expanding its tourism base while helping an en-dangered species.

Earl Pfeifer and Carol Plato own Kane Manor in Kaslo and a few years ago when it was saved from � re by neighbours and the � re department, the couple realized how truly special

Kaslo is.“We couldn’t get over

how fortunate we were to live in such a wonderful, caring community,” said Pfeifer. “We o� en talked about � nding ways to give back to the town.”

On the evening of June 28 about 40 people attended a presentation made at the Legion Hall in Kaslo to hear about the couple’s idea of bringing their two chee-tahs, now living with them in their second home near Toronto, to town.

“If we were to build this

business back home it would mean a Kaslo business would be o� ering services that cannot be found any-where else in North America and that uniqueness could

be extremely bene� cial for Kaslo,” said Pfeifer.

Needing Kaslo’s support to gain necessary permits, the couple is being proac-tive in the endeavor that is

still likely years away from realization.

� e most di� cult mile-stone of their cheetah proj-ect has been achieved, how-ever. And that is actually getting cheetahs, a “class-one highly endangered cat.”

“� ey are virtually im-possible for all but large zoos to import,” said Pfeifer. “� e good news is that on March 28, a� er two years of work and against all odds, we became the owners of

Seatbelt credited with saveThe Police Beat

A woman suffered only minor injuries when her car left the road at the Highway 3A/6 interchange entering Nelson about 6:20 a.m. Sat-urday.

The vehicle dropped about 15 metres onto a walking path, then flipped onto its roof.

Police say the driver felt asleep at the wheel, but she was wearing her seatbelt and wasn’t seriously hurt. She managed to climb free and seek help. Western Auto Wreckers pulled the car from its precarious position.

PARK DISTURBANCE ENDS WITH ARRESTA man accused of caus-

ing a drunken disturbance in Lakeside Park on Saturday afternoon has an August 13 court date.

Nelson police say they were called around 3:15 p.m. where the 51-year-old man was talking and swearing loudly to himself.

They tried to escort him out of the park.

However, Sgt. Paul Bayes said, “He became verbally abusive to the members who were showing great patience with him and trying to get him somewhere safe.”

When he started swearing in front of the playground and wouldn’t stop, he was arrested and taken to jail to sober up. He was charged with causing a disturbance and released on a condition

not to drink alcohol and to stay out of the park.

PETS BEAT HEAT BY

STAYING HOMESince the temperature has

gone up so have the number of calls for the Nelson police to check on animals left in vehicles.

“During warm weather pet owners must take pre-cautions against the danger of heat exhaustion and heat-stroke for their pets,” Bayes said.

“The temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with the windows partly open, can rapidly reach a level that will seriously harm or even kill your pet.”

Symptoms an animal might be in distress include

exaggerated panting (or the sudden stopping of panting), anxious or staring expression,

and red tongue and lips red. “If it’s hot out, leave your

pets at home,” Bayes said.

Il y a quelques années, j’ai eu le privilège d’organiser un concert intime pour un groupe de musiciens francosaskois (francophones de la Saskatchewan) en visite à Nelson. J’allais enfin pouvoir côtoyer des francophones canadiens non-québécois ! J’avais bien hâte de connaître leur accent, leurs expressions. Après leur magnifique concert, un ami français et moi-même les avons invités à sortir. Que ne fût pas ma déception. Je n’ai rien appris de leurs expressions. Les échanges entre les trois musiciens se disant « fièrement francosaskois » se déroulaient exclusivement en anglais – à moins que mon ami et moi n’usions de contorsion pour les faire revenir au français. Finalement, le français n’était que pour le marketing de leur groupe… Si nous sommes vraiment fiers de notre différence culturelle et bien c’est à nous, et seulement à nous de la démontrer en utilisant notre langue. Si on ne le fait pas, c’est le déclin assuré du français au sein du Canada.

Vous trouvez que je dramatise ? Pourtant les statistiques démontrent un réel problème. Un sondage réalisé en 2011, démontre que 43 % de la population résidant en dehors du Québec ayant le français comme langue maternelle a déclaré parler l'anglais le plus souvent à la maison. Donc, presque la moitié d’entre nous ne parle presque plus le français. Comment voulez-vous que vos enfants aient le goût de l’apprendre ? Comment voulez-vous que le gouvernement nous prenne au sérieux si nous-même nous ne le faisons pas ?

Dans notre pays dit « bilingue », il arrive souvent que les deux langues officielles ne soient pas respectées. Un des exemples frappant de cette réalité est au hockey. Lorsque les

Canadiens vont jouer dans n’importe quelle ville du Canada, l’hymne national est chanté seulement en anglais… la partie en français est complètement mise de côté… Certains vont expliquer cela en disant que les francophones sont très peu présents en dehors du Québec ou concentrés seulement dans des régions spécifiques ce qui ne justifie pas la présence du français. Le très peu d’anglophones du Québec ont pourtant bien droit à l’anglais dans presque n’importe quelles circonstances…

Les anglophones ont parfois l’impression de se faire enfoncer le français dans le fond de la gorge. Je les comprends tout à fait. Il ne faut pas forcer les autres à faire de la place au français, c’est plutôt à nous de nous faire un devoir de garder notre langue vivante et cela commence par parler français, éviter les anglicismes et ne pas toujours parler anglais avec les anglophones qui s’efforcent de pratiquer leur français. Certains d’entre eux le parlent très bien et sont de grands défenseurs du bilinguisme canadien ! Aidez-les à faire avancer notre cause. Fred Pellerin a dit : « Pour réussir à parler français, ça demande une vivacité. C'est beau de la camper dans des dictionnaires, c'est beau de l'écrire et d'avoir de grands auteurs, mais si elle n'est pas là, vivante à chaque jour, ça finit dans deux ou trois générations ». Notre langue est gage de nos racines et de notre histoire particulière. Il ne faut pas miser sur le gouvernement fédéral pour la protéger. Depuis que M. Harper est majoritaire, il coupe dans tout ce qui touche le français et les communautés francophones. Alors, nous sommes notre plus grande force ! Parlons donc cette langue qu’on aime !

Nelson falls short in paint contestNelson won’t get a free

coat of paint coat of paint courtesy Benjamin Moore, but Penticton will.

The Queen City was not among the 20 Canadian and US communities named Monday for the company’s 2013 Main Street Matters program, which will see each receive exterior painting of a two-to-three block stretch of their downtown cores.

Penticton was one of three Canadian cities to make

the cut. The others were Stouffville, Ontario and Halifax.

Originally more than 130 communities were in the running through a six week

online voting period.Actual numbers from

online balloting were not released, so it’s unclear how Nelson fared. During voting, the city was included among

the Movers and Shakers, as one of the top 10 commu-nities securing votes four times.

But in an interview last month, Dianna Ducs, ex-ecutive director of Nelson Kootenay Lake Tourism, was concerned the city was beginning to lag behind.

“We started into this cam-paign with lots of community support, with active voting and conversations on the street — thank you,” she said. “But as the month rushed by, the act of voting became less top of mind.”

Not a winner in Main Street Matters

Due to record high levels of demand, the Regional Dis-trict of Central Kootenay has implemented water conser-

vation measures in Balfour.While the restrictions are

in place, residents are asked to water their gardens, trees and shrubs by sprinkling only one day per week for a maximum of two hours be-

tween 4 and 7 a.m. and 7 and 10 p.m.

Watering of gardens, trees, and shrubs by hose, spring nozzle, or hand-held contain-er is permitted at any time.

However, washing side-

walks, driveways, vehicles, and outdoor surfaces is not permitted, nor is filling out-door hot tubs and swimming pools.

The measures will remain in effect until further notice.

Editorial

This is no ordinary place and those who live here are certainly no ordinary people. As true as that is, on June 28 a

team of five photographers set out to docu-ment an average day in the life of Nelson.

In our special B section of today’s paper you will find the fruits of our labour. We think you will agree that the average day in Nelson is definitely not ordinary.

From the early morning hours to well past sunset, Nelson is a hive of activity. Those who call the Kootenays home are passionate about this place and the 20-page spread called Day in the Life of Nelson is a nice reflection of that reality.

The five photographers — Star staff Sam Van Schie, Kirsten Hildebrand and Bob Hall were joined by freelance photographers Emilee Zaitsoff and Melissa Welsh — didn’t have a very difficult time finding the faces and the places that make Nelson such a cool place every single day of the year.

Out of the morning fog we found folks en-thusiastically embracing the day that awaited. Over the course of the day we found people working away with pride as they carved out their little piece of Nelson. At night the streets came alive as summer truly arrived and MarketFest helped create a festive scene in the downtown that extended well beyond its three-block set up.

So thank you Nelson for being anything but ordinary. You make documenting life in this community an enjoyable experience all 365 days.

An honest reflection

The Nelson Down-town Waterfront Plan was put

forward to make improve-ments and a direct con-nection from downtown to the waterfront for tourists and business. The process is to upgrade the traf-fic, walkability and green spaces to the connection along Hall Street between Baker Street and the wa-terfront, making it more user friendly. Currently, because of the limited sight distance, a concern is the potential accident risk when vehicles are travel-ing up Hall Street to the intersection of Hall Street and Vernon Street.

The focus is to use Hall Street to improve the walkability and traffic flow in making a direct con-nection from Baker Street to the waterfront. A few options were put forward at a recent public meeting held at the Nelson District Chamber of Commerce building. The city staff and consultants explained the proposals and received feedback from people at the meeting as to their concerns.

City staff are appre-hensive about the vehicles travelling up Hall Street to Vernon Street intersection because of the potential accident hazard at the intersection. One proposal is to make Hall Street one-way going down from Ver-non Street to Lake Street which may eliminate an accident hazard, but it has raised a number of con-cerns from local business-es. Such a change could put the main traffic flow along Front Street to Ward Street to access the down-town. Having vehicles only

travelling down Hall Street could also limit the flow of vehicles and business from the waterfront to the north end of Baker Street and Vernon Street raising con-cerns from local business.

Another proposal is to continue with the cur-rent traffic pattern on Hall Street, but with a change to having vehicle uses a “right turn only” onto Ver-non Street. In reducing the accident risk, it may be the more acceptable change, but again it inhibits the traffic flow left towards the Civic Arena and Kootenay Co-op project.

The proposal to change the traffic pattern on Hall Street with one way traffic going down Hall Street to Front Street, could be the most expensive option, as

Cedar Street would also have to be upgraded to one way traffic only, from Front Street to Vernon Street. As well there is a proposal to change the one-way street from Ver-non Street to Baker Street by switching the direction of the traffic flow to go one-way onto Baker Street.

One solution, not discussed, to improve the safety of the intersection of Hall and Vernon Street, without changing the current design could be to install traffic lights so that vehicles coming up Hall Street would see a flashing amber light and vehicles travelling on Vernon Street to the intersection with Hall Street would see a flashing red light along with the stop signs.

The objective of all these proposed improvements is to revamp Hall Street while making it a direct link from Baker Street to the Waterfront to enhance business and tourism. In putting forth the changes it has to be taken into consideration the traffic flow to the businesses that make up the northern end of Baker Street. The goal must be to continue to make this area a viable part of the downtown, especially with the revamp of the Civic Theatre and the proposal for the co-op building project.

Letters to the Editor

Art is the cutting edge of human consciousness. The truly gifted artists know where we are heading before most of our species. Film is art, and Hollywood film is not always artless. So I look for signs in films that might tell us how our minds have altered over just the span of my six-decade life.

Star Wars (1977) was smart, but not revealing of any new direction in human consciousness. It was an old-fashioned Western with em-pires and railroads in space. But Aliens (1979) threw out the notion of governments so central to Star Wars, and showed us a future when cor-porations would rule. Now we’re all sophisticated enough to agree, we can enjoy the

myth-shattering tale of the new Lone Ranger movie.

That film provoked me to ask, without myths of progress and individualism we held dear in the days when western movies were popular, what is to be the foundation-myth of our narrative? The new narra-tive for humanity, says Charles Eisenstein, won’t be based on human dominion over nature — nor believe each ego is separate from other lives, human and non-human.

Humans need myths that tell a credible truth about our purpose. Purposive individual heroes used to be our exemplars. Now a new consciousness evolves: The Emperor has no clothes! The Machine has no idea! We are the I Magi Nation!

I have no certainties, but “knowledge” is less important in this post-modern era than Imagination; I won’t say “I think” — I only hope. (1)The new narrative will destroy our delusions of progress. (2) It will ruin faith that violence can have positive conse-quences for someone. As materialism trashed the niche for fairies in the modern era, empathy will discredit faith in violent humans ac-complishing good. (3) We might re-invent fairies in new guises, as we re-learn how to reverence non-human life.

Those are my ingredients for our narrative; I trust oth-ers are weaving theirs for new cloth.

This week’s question: Are you planning on attending a musical festival this summer?

Last week’s result: Do you like the City of Nelson’s proposed changes to Hall Street? YES 29% NO 71%

Where is the narrative going?

The Regional District of Central Kootenay’s consider-ation of the rezoning ap-plication by the North Shore couple who wants to establish a medical marijuana grow-op on their property completely dishonours the intention of the recent legislative change by Health Canada.

The federal Minister of Health is quoted in a recent Health Canada news release as saying “municipal zoning laws need to be respected,” and that “these changes will strengthen the safety of Canadian communities.” The changes were fueled in part

by the exponential growth of small scale residential grow-ops which have had “unintended consequences for public health, safety and security” (Health Canada, June 10, 2013). This couple’s property is currently zoned residential because it sits in a neighbourhood surrounded by small homes. Changing the zoning won’t change that fact.

The small group of neigh-bours who the proponent says have “gotten together to create resistance” include all five of the property owners who share a boundary with the property in question. The

statement that the amend-ment is supported by the North Shore Water Utility is misleading because the utility is owned by the family of the proponent. His busi-ness plan may keep in tune with his version of the “spirit of the Kootenays,” but not ours. We chose to live in this neighbourhood because of its tranquil atmosphere and natural beauty. These will un-doubtedly be compromised when an industrial operation establishes itself in our neigh-bourhood.

NATASHA BOGDASAVICHOriginally from Regina, Saskatchewan, Natasha

Bogdasavich is an interdisciplinary artist now based in Nelson, BC. She attended Emily Carr University in Vancouver and studied sculpture and linguistics at the University of Regina.

Natasha Bogdasavich’s current body of work con-sists of mixed media paintings which explore the con-cepts of balance, impulsiveness and authenticity. In the form of abstract imagery, her paintings depict or-ganic shapes which are inspired by her connection to nature. Various natural materials are used, including sand, coffee, flour, wood shavings and cotton, and the process involves layering and scraping, along with the addition of mixed media to create texture and three-di-mensionality. With an extensive background in dance, Natasha’s concepts pertaining to movement tend to be at the core of her creative process and her work portrays an essence of movement itself.

Yoshie’s work can be seen at the Kootenay Bakery

during Artwalk, on now until

August 30.

YOSHIE MEASURESYoshie was born in the Iwate prefecture in northern

Japan. She immigrated to Calgary in 1997 and has now lived in the Kootenays for nine years.

Yoshie grew up in Japan surrounded by her fa-ther’s paintings, and was influenced by Japanese pa-per and print arts. She was professionally trained in calligraphy, and is perhaps best known for her simple watercolours on lamps soled by AOKILAMPS, which she has been creating since 2000. Recently she has been working with papers on canvas, using many dif-ferent papers from all over the world. She picks the paper to create three dimensional, deep, colourful im-ages that are influenced by natural facial expressions and nature.

NewsKaslo mayor likes ideaContinued from Page 1two African cheetahs.”

As far as the retired couple knows, they are the only private owners of cheetahs in Canada.

“The two cats are wonderful,” described Pfeifer.

They have a one-year-old fe-male named Annie Rose and a nine-month-old named Robin, who was sired by one of the most famous cheetahs in Africa.

“Right now we are working seven days a week socializing and training the cats.”

Pfiefer described cheetahs as the original “fraidy cat.” There is no record of a wild cheetah ever killing a human being in the 4,000 years since Egyptians first started keeping the cats captive.

Today, there are fewer than 10,000 cheetahs left in the world and their numbers are declining by nearly 1,000 per year due to loss of habitat and farmers being able to kill them.

“By the time a child entering JV Humphries School this fall is 15, the chances of him being able to ever see a cheetah in the wild will be almost zero,” said Pfeifer.

In Africa, cheetahs like Robin’s father — who has been seen by

140,000 school children — are called ambassador cheetahs.

“While not completely tame, they are well trained and social-ized,” said Pfeifer.

In Ontario, there are few laws regarding ownership of exotic animals. The couple understands the hurdles they will have to jump to bring their cheetah program to BC. But Plato said they are com-mitted to doing what’s best for the community and their cats.

“We’re passionately committed to helping save them from extinc-tion, and our resolve is strength-ened by knowing that whatever troubles we face, they are noth-ing compared to the difficulties cheetahs face,” she said. “Hassles, battles, legal issues, current emp-tying of our bank account and fu-ture decimation of our life sav-ings — really — they’re nothing compared to extinction.”

Kaslo Mayor Greg Lay attended the presentation made last month and commended the couple on being innovative and proactive. He heard of the four programs the couple hopes to offer: cheetah

walks that would allow people to walk a cat on a leash; cheetah pursuit training where people would watch cheetahs run at high speeds; cheetah outreach and educational programs and chee-tah encounters that would allow people to have their picture taken while being up close and personal with a cheetah.

Lay said council hasn’t made an official decision and while regula-tions are fuzzy, he supports the idea.

“This would absolutely have a tremendous benefit for Kaslo be-cause it would be the only place in Canada, where people could come to walk with these cheetahs, get their picture taken,” he said.

He understands that people may have difficulty with the idea based on safety issues and con-cerns about keeping wild animals captive, but he sees this cheetah program as good education and stewardship of the animals.

With Kane Manor right across from Kaslo’s school, he feels as-sured by Pfeifer and Plato’s plans to adhere to regulations as they develop their property to protect people and the cheetahs with dou-ble fencing, two feet apart, with electric wire over top.

“Their challenge is to demon-

strate they can, in fact, care for these animals and meet these rath-er difficult requirements that don’t really deal with a small operation like this,” said Lay. “Earl is a very responsible person, not some fly-by-nighter out there. He’s done all the work, been to Africa, he’s talked with several organizations in the United States… He’s trying very hard. He’s highly motivated.”

Pfeifer understands there could be concerns within the community.

“As you can imagine, we are go-ing to be facing nervous people,” he said. “Our house is across the street from the school… We want the people in town on our side.”

They are currently applying for membership with CAZA (Cana-dian Association of Zoos and Aquariums).

“CAZA understands cheetahs very well and they are invested in making this work for us,” said Pfeifer. “We have been told that the BC government relies heavily on CAZA for professional opinion and that if we become registered affiliate members and construct our facility correctly, the BC gov-ernment will rubber stamp the CAZA approval.”

DI D YOU K NOW ?When people think of outdoor storage, they generally envision garden sheds to house their lawn and garden equipment and tools. However, if space doesn’t allow for a large shed, there is no need to fret because there are other storage possibilities. Consider a garden ottoman or bench, for example. This structure can be built from wood and then painted or covered in padded fabric. Store small items inside the ottoman, which can also serve as a table or additional seating. In addition to an ottoman, a garden tool that can keep shovels and rakes organized. Homeowners with a deck can construct lidded deck boxes to store patio cushions or any other outdoor equipment. Utilizing the space under the deck is another idea. Cover the perimeter of the bottom of the deck with lattice and install one piece on a hinge to serve as a door. Store equipment underneath and out of sight. It also will be protected from the elements.

Rep Teams at Provincial B Cup

Nelson Selects come up emptyThe Nelson Selects were

shutout of the medals at the Provincial B Cup this past weekend.

The Nelson Youth Soccer Association rep program sent seven of its eight teams to the provincial tournaments in Prince George (boys) and North Vancouver (girls).

The highest finish by a Nelson team was fifth (U17 Boys), with the other six teams finishing sixth or sev-enth in the eight-team tour-naments.

“I don’t believe as an asso-ciation we would be disap-pointed with the results giv-en that medals are only one measurement of success,” said Nelson Youth Soccer presi-dent Chuck Bennett.

Here is the rundown of the four boys teams that took part in the Prince George tournament. The Star will feature the girl’s side in Fri-day’s edition.

STRONG EFFORT DOES NOT PRODUCE

RESULTS FOR U13sThe U13 Boys had a tough

time with the top-seeded

squad from Saanich in its opening game on Thursday and lost the tournament opener 5-0.

“Our boys played fairly well, but lost to a strong team,” said U13 coach Kerry Dyck. “Both Bradey Sookero and Blake Markin-Helleck-son played well in net. Ezara Foy and Jaden Dyck were solid in central midfield,

forcing most of their play to come up the wings.”

The U13s rebounded to claim a 3-0 win over Wil-liams Lake in the second game on Friday.

Aidan Mushumanski, Ry-land Negreiff and Ezra Foy scored for Nelson in the win.

“It was a solid team per-formance from top to bot-tom,” said Dyck. “Strong defensive performances by Thomas Baxter and Jacob Er-ickson helped fuel the win.”

In the final game of the round-robin, the U13s matched up against Van-couver Island champion LYS United on Saturday morning. They needed a win to have any chance at a medal.

The underdog Selects gave the Lower Mainland squad all they could handle in the contest that ended in a 0-0 draw.

“It was a terrific battle against a strong team,” said coach Dyck. “It was very encouraging to know we were able to go toe-to-toe with the representative from Greater Vancouver. We were very proud of the boys.”

The U13 finished the round robin with a 1-1-1 record and played in the fifth-sixth game on Sunday against Ter-race. The U13s finished the tournament with a 2-0 loss to finish sixth. Surrey FC United won the Provincial B Cup title in the U13 division.TOUGH TOURNAMENT FOR U14s

The U14 Boys had a hard time against

the South Burnaby Metro Strikers in their opening game of the tournament in Prince George as the Lower Mainland team scored a 3-0 win.

The tough competition continued for the U14s in the next two games as they lost a rough game to Prince George 5-1 on Saturday and concluded the round robin with a 4-2 loss to Vancouver Is-land champion Gorge FC to finish the round robin with a 0-3 record.

The U14s managed to end the tour-nament on a high note in Sunday’s seventh-eighth place game with a 1-0 win over Prince George. CCB Galaxy from Vancouver Island captured the gold medal in the U14 Boys division.CLOSE NOT ENOUGH FOR U16s

The U16 Boys dropped a 4-1 decision

to the North Vancouver Fury on Thurs-day afternoon to open the tournament in the red.

“They were the better side, but we also just couldn’t get any breaks,” said U16 coach Chuck Bennett.

James Miller scored the only goal for Nelson late in the match to break the North Vancouver shutout.

The U16s got into the win column with a 2-1 win over Williams Lake in their Friday contest.

Nigel Zeigler scored in the first half to spot the Nelson side a lead going into the half.

Williams Lake tied the score early in the second, but then Miller was pulled


QCo-Signer vs Guarantor?

Derek DienerMortgageBroker

[email protected]

AIf an applicant is unable to qualify for a mortgage independently most lenders will allow someone to back the borrower. As a

mortgage broker often the question comes up about what the difference is between a co-signer and a guarantor. The following explains each of the following.

Co-Signer - A co-signer is basically a co-owner in that they are registered on title and are equally accountable for payments (although it is often the case they will not make any payments). The co-signer will be kept on title and on the mortgage until the primary applicant is able to qualify on their own. When a person takes part in a real estate transaction as a co-signer their names are put both on the mortgage and property title and their net income is applied for mortgage qualification.

Guarantor - A guarantor personally guarantees payments if the original applicant defaults but they have no claim to the property as they are not on title. A guarantor is more often used when the primary applicants income qualifies but has damaged or non-existent credit. A guarantor needs to qualify for the entire mortgage so they need to be a stronger candidate than a co-signer whose income is used to subsidize the applicants. This option is riskier for the guarantor because they have no control of the property but are responsible should the property go into arrears. That being said it is much easier and cost effective to take the person off the mortgage and lenders are often willing to release a guarantor earlier provided the mortgage is in good standing after 12-24 months. Before agreeing to act on behalf of an applicant, guarantors and co-signers need to evaluate the time commitment they are willing to make. Being a co-signer or a guarantor will limit their available credit in the future.

For all of your mortgage questions don’t hesitate to contact me anytime. I work for you not the banks!

AAlthough it is best to practice sun protection by avoiding the high peaks of the day,

wearing UVA/UVB sunscreen, staying in the shade and wearing light coloured long clothing, we all have those days where we are out gardening too long or enjoying the beach. So why don’t you start preventing your sunburn early by including certain foods in your day that may help prevent those painful sunburn days. � is same list of foods may also help soothe a sunburn if you end up with one this summer.

• Tomatoes – they are rich in lycopene, a UV protecting compound – 5 tablespoons of a tomato paste eaten daily, may help to prevent a sunburn

• Potatoes – slice a raw potato and apply to the burned area – the starchy compound will help to relieve the painful sting

• Sweet Potatoes – contains beta-carotene, a type of vitamin A which can help prevent or minimize sunburn damage

• Tea – drinking one to two cups daily of green tea (which contains EGCG) or black tea (which contains quecetin) can help prevent that red skin. Drink the tea hot, which has been proven to be more e� ective than iced. If you do have a burn soak

in a cool bath with green tea bags, or place chilled green tea bags on the burned areas

• Pomegranate - the antioxidants can help to protect your skin from UVA and UVB induced cell damage. � e anti-in� ammatory properties can help soother already burned skin

• Almonds - packed with Vitamin E, which is o� en added to skin creams can defend against sun damage. Approximately 20 almonds a day can help assist you in avoiding those painful days

• Dark Chocolate - full of � avonols may help to bolster resistance to sunburns and these powerful antioxidants can help to increase skin density

• Calendula and Aloe leaf – both of these plants can be used on sunburns to help alleviate the stinging pain of a sunburn

Ensure you are also using sun protection products that protect against both UVA and UVB rays. Ensure your sunglasses, skin care and sunscreen all have the compounds to protect against both. Visit us today to learn more or experience any of our sun protection or a� er sun products.

QWhat is the BC Ser vices Card and how do I get one?

A� e new BC Services Card is part of government’s plan to modernize B.C.’s health care system. It replaces your CareCard, and also acts as your

photo ID. It’s more convenient, more secure and will enable access to other government services in the future. Most adults will have to renew enrolment in the Medical Service Plan (MSP) by 2018 and apply for a BC Service Card at a driver licensing o� ce like the ones at our Castlegar Downtown and New Denver o� ces. Before coming into the o� ce, check your driver’s licence and CareCard to be sure that your name matches exactly on both. If not, call Health Insurance BC at 604-683-7151 or 1-800-633-7100. � e BC Services Card can be issued as a separate piece of photo ID or combined with your driver’s licence (it can not be combined with a BC Identi� cation card or Enhanced Driver’s Licence). � ere’s no additional fee for the BC Services Card; however, if you choose to combine it with your driver’s licence the regular renewal or duplicate driver’s licence fees still apply. If you choose to combine your CardCard with your driver’s licence, your privacy will be protected. Health care providers will not be able to see your driving record and police or ICBC agents will not be able to access your health information.Children under the age of 19 can continue to use their CareCards but newborns enrolled in MSP will be issued non-photo BC Services Cards issued by Heath Insurance BC. Use your BC Services Card the same way you use your CareCard to access health services today. To learn more please contact either the Castlegar Downtown or New Denver RHC Insurance Broker o� ces or go online to BCServicesCard.ca.

QWhat does Wabi Sabi mean?

AAt lunchtime I was flipping through some reading lists and random pages and came across the phrase Wabi-Sabi. What a great phrase!

Thinking back to movies such as “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, it would be the perfect phrase to say before flying through the air to land a most perfect round house kick, whilst balanced on a bamboo stick 40 feet in the air. Or maybe it is an exotic delicious, divine sushi I have never heard of ! I love sushi, thus a Wabi-Sabi must be a new lovely roll filled with rice, perhaps some Ahi Tuna, hopefully it has avocado as they are nectar from the gods, with a delicious dollop of Wasabi rolled up into it. I wonder what else is in it?So I did a little digging, once I got over my initial shock that it wasn’t a delicious new sushi roll that I could make; I giggled with delight when I started reading what the phrase meant. It was perfect and fun and delightful.Pared down its barest essence, Wabi-Sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature, of accepting the natural cycle of growth, decay and death. It’s simple, slow and uncluttered and reveres authenticity above all. It celebrates cracks and crevices and all the other marks that time, weather and loving use leave behind. Through Wabi-Sabi, we learn to embrace liver spots, rust, and frayed edges, and things maybe not being or playing out as we think they should. Wabi-Sabi is underplayed and modest, the kind of quiet, undeclared beauty that waits patiently to be discovered. It’s a fragmentary glimpse: the branch representing the entire tree, shoji screens filtering the sun, the moon 90 percent obscured behind a ribbon of cloud. It’s a richly mellow beauty that’s striking but not obvious, that you can imagine having around you for a long, long time-Katherine Hepburn versus Marilyn Monroe. For the Japanese, it’s the difference between kirei-merely “pretty”-and omoshiroi, the interestingness that kicks something into the realm of beautiful.How delicious is that?To come to a place whether in relationship, work, writing, creating, taking a photo, trying a new sport – instead of being fixated on what is not perfect, we embrace the imperfect and see the beauty in it.So I wish you all Wabi-Sabi!

Q Is it true that I could save money on my utility bills by doing small changes that don’t cost a lot of money?

AYes! � e � rst step is to � nd out where the heat is escaping and wasting your money. � is can be done by having a home energy

assessment. � e assessment includes a ‘blower door’ test, when it is up and running you can physically go around your home and feel exactly where the dra� s are, which is where that heat escapes. � is is called a negative pressure test, and to put it plainly it exaggerates all of the air from the outside and pulls it in through your home. � is test also measures the rate at which heat escapes, plus the Certi� ed Energy Advisor can tell you how big the size of ‘open hole’ to the outside you have in your wall at all times if you were to add up all of those leakages. Some of these areas can be improved by doing very little work and spending little money, and can add to the comfort of your home while saving you money. � e advisor also checks your homes overall energy e� ciency by looking at the insulation, windows, doors, space and water heating plus ventilation. You will receive an EnerGuide rating for your home, and a customized report prioritizing the upgrades that will save you the most. � e advisor knows what rebates are available and will tell you exactly what you need to do in order to access them. By participating in the City of Nelson’s EcoSave program you can receive an assessment for $60 (value of $300-$400), plus this gives you access to � nancing for 3.5%.

SportsCont. from Page 15down on a breakaway in the last minute of the game. Spencer Szabo made good on the penalty kick to give Nelson the 2-1 lead that would stand up at the � nal whistle.

“We owned the play and it could have been a much higher score, but we didn’t � nish,” said Bennett.

Needing a win to get into the medals, the U16s took on the Campbell River Blue Backs on Saturday.

In a rough and tum-ble side game, Dylan Bennett scored on a penalty kick in the � rst half that ended in a 1-1 deadlock. In the second half, Campbell River scored two goals to go up 3-1. Miller scored to give Nelson life, but they could not come up with the equalizer.

“We pushed hard late, but just couldn’t score,” said coach Ben-nett. “� e boys played great. It wasn’t because of lack of e� ort.”

In the fifth-sixth game on Sunday, the U16s dropped a 4-1 decision to Terrace to � nish the tournament in sixth place.

“From a possession standpoint, I thought we were the better side in three of four games,” said coach Bennett. “North Vancouver were the better team in our game against them, but certainly not 4-1 better. How-ever, in the rest of our games we were the

better side from a pos-session standpoint. We also generated more chances than our op-ponents in all three of those games. Ulti-mately, our inability to defend corner kicks and free kicks inside 25 yards was our un-doing.

“� at said, it is nice to know that we can play with the B Cup teams in the province. I think the boys took a lot of pride in knowing that.”

� e North Vancou-ver Fury won the U16 Boys tournament to become provincial champions.

GREAT START FOR U17 BOYS CAN’T BE SUSTAINED� e U17 Selects got

o� to a great start to their run for a title when they received a timely goal from Ethan Perkins to edge out Juan de Fuca 1-0 in � ursday action. Selects keeper Cole Sutherland was solid

in goal to earn the shutout.

The U17s were looking to continue their road to the gold medal match against the top-ranked Surrey FC Rangers on Friday. � e Selects jumped out to a solid start against the powerful Lower Mainland team when Perkins scored to give Nelson the 1-0 � rst half lead.

Though Nelson played a disciplined second half and pushed Surrey to the limit, the Coastal champion managed to score a pair of goals in the second half to take the 2-1 win.

� e U17s saw their chance at getting into the medals � zzle on Saturday with a 1-1 tie with Vernon and 2-0 loss to Terrace. Nolan Derosa scored the only goal of the day for the U17s.

AI was recently out and about doing some groceries, and a local business owner asked me this question. The simplest answer

is: *** Pricing a property correctly from the start. Of course there are other factors at play; however this one is paramount.If you’ve been trying to sell your property for awhile, & there doesn’t seem to be much interest; it’s time to ask why? Sit down with your Realtor® & analyze the situation. *** You must be open to hearing the answers in order to attain your goal. Have you had many prospective Buyers come to see your house? If not, find out why? Ask your Realtor® for some current market data to see where your property sits in the housing market at this time. Find out how many days on average a home is on the market before it sells. Is your home priced accurately? How is your property being marketed? Does your home look appealing on the MLS website & during showings? Are there some quick fixes and affordable solutions that may showcase your home better? Take the emotion out of the equation, and look at your property as a stranger might see it. Remember what attracted you to your property in the first place and make some notes. Discuss these things with your Realtor® and have your ideas incorporated into their marketing strategy. Try and listen to the advice and expertise your Realtor® is offering you. They are on your team and trying to sell your home and get you on your way to the next chapter that awaits you. Make your property a STAR (Stand out, Transform, Attract, and Return on your Investment) if you have further questions, don’t hesitate contacting me.

QWhy should I go to the Chiropractor if I don’t have any pain?

AI am often asked why people would go to a chiropractor if they don’t have any pain. Let’s start with the fact that only approximately 10% of your

nerves actually feel anything…pain, temperature or any sensation. The other roughly 90% control things like your muscle function and your organs. That means you can have nerve root compression resulting in impaired function but not have any pain at all. The goal of Chiropractic is to get your nervous (master) system operating at its best without any interference and to get you the optimal balance between muscle strength and flexibility. Achieving this balance promotes better function and health. By being healthier you are more likely to not miss days from work, more likely to require less medication, be happier and more productive. All of these things are either going to save you money or help you make more of it. It is much easier to help healthy people stay healthy than to help the injured or sick become well. Prevention is the true key to optimal health!Most of us understand this concept, but the area where you may already follow this principal is with your dentist. We know the value of having checkups, getting cleanings, flossing and brushing our teeth. I know a lot of us have gone to the dentist for a routine checkup only to find we have a cavity. Not a big issue, actually a relatively quick fix, but if left unattended it can develop into the dreaded root canal (and even more dreaded bill!). For some reason most of us do not place the same importance to our spinal health. Your vertebrae encompass your spinal cord and this is where all of your nerves branch from to go to the rest of your body. Don’t you think it is important to have your spine working the best that it can be? Having a Chiropractor as a member of your health care team can help you achieve your maximum potential.Next time our new Certified Shiatsu Therapist, Robin Clumpus, will be writing about the benefits of Shitasu!

Continued from Page 16

In the final game of the tournament on Sunday the U17s lost a 2-1 heartbreaker against West Vancouver. Per-kins scored his third goal of the tournament in the loss and the Selects finished fifth.

The tournament was claimed by the Surrey FC Rangers.

Though pleased that Nelson sent an impressive

seven teams as Columbia-Kootenay representatives, president Bennett said the association will review re-sults from the past weekend to see if any improvements can be made.

“Though all the teams played hard, I personally found it disappointing that we didn’t even have one medal game, let alone being shutout of the medals,” said Bennett.

“Obviously, I can’t speak on behalf of the association, since the board has not had a chance to discuss this in detail, but if you look at the scores, you can clearly see that we are very com-petitive with every region in the province which I think speaks to the quality of our program.

“However, I do think that as an association we need to sit down and evaluate our

results and perhaps look at what might have held us back from a better showing at pro-vincials.

“Currently, the NYSA board, with the help and rec-ommendation of our tech-nical director, is looking at substantive changes to how our rep program runs.

“I suspect how we fared at provincials this year will weigh heavily into those dis-cussions.”

Sports

Angels Take Second in TrailThe Nelson Angels (11 to 13-year-olds) travelled to Trail for a tournament last month and returned with a second place finish. The Angels were defeated by Trail in the final. The team includes (L-R) Harry Suh, Jordan McLeod, Justin Lasichuk, Charles Curiston, Sebastian Bodine, Chase May, Connor Comishin, Blair Sookero, Brendan Vulcano, Mikey Zarikoff, Johnny Michalchuk, Coach’s Corbin Comishin and Roger May (missing Coaches Dave Zarikoff and Doug Curiston).

The grand plan for the Nelson Star Day in the Life feature was to have

� ve photographers blanket the community on the � rst day of summer from sun up to sun down.

When the � rst day of summer arrived, the spring rains had yet to vacate the Kootenay. Instead of hand-cu� ng the photographers to a gloomy 17 hours, we waited.

One week later the true Kootenay summer emerged out of the fog and we were there to capture it.

Friday, June 28 started out in dramatic fashion with a thick layer of fog cover-ing most of the city along the West Arm of Kootenay Lake. Given the soggy June, it seemed � tting. As is most o� en the case in Nelson, that valley fog was an indication that it was going to be a great day. It certainly was.

As the fog li� ed and the city came to life, our photog-raphers were there to record it.

It was the Friday of the Canada Day long weekend. School had just let out for summer the day before and folks were anxious to shed a spring that seemed to hang on a little too long.

Enjoy our journey through 17 hours in Nelson. We cer-tainly had a great time watch-ing the city emerge out of the fog and into true summer.

OUT OF THE FOG

AND INTO SUMMER

5:40 am

5:50 am 6:02 am

Rising before the sun comes over the mountains in his upper Fairview home, Jeff Yasinchuk embarked into the fog for his morning bike ride. The L.V. Rogers librarian rides at least three times a week. This morning he was headed to Sproule Creek.

With eerie calmness, the morning fog created a beautiful scene along the shores of Kootenay Lake. Still too early for the traf� c of the morning commute, the Nelson Bridge stood quiet in an-ticipation for what turned out to be a busy morning. At this time of the morning, there was very little activity at Lakeside Park as even morning joggers had yet to make it down to the West Arm track. In short order, however, the area would begin to awake with watercrafts, bikers and dog walkers. By Monday’s Canada Day, the park would become a buzzing hub of activity.

Granite Pointe golf course maintenance boss Ryan Holliday prepares the grass cutting machines for a busy day at the Rosemont course. The crew — which at times can include as many as 11 people — arrives just before 6 am each morning. By 6:05 am the green and fairway mowers are off to get the golf course ready for play at the 18-hole facility.

6:26 am 6:40 am

The sun rises over the mountains of Nelson. If you didn’t know any different, you would have no idea that below the layer of fog a community was starting to awake with the smells of freshly brewed coffee and enthusiasm for the day ahead.

Arriving to work at 5:20 am five days a week, Sidewind-ers baker Cait Cormie gets to work on some delicious muffins at the Baker Street coffeehouse. Sidewind-ers is owned by Mike and Jill Cormie and Cait is the youngest of their five kids. The 27-year-old has been working at Sidewinders since she was 15, learning her mom’s recipes (includ-ing that of the yummy cin-namon buns). Cait and her fiancee Nick Cima work the morning shift and are in the process of buying the busi-ness outright in September. They will get married next summer.

The warehouse on Gov-ernment Road (former Quality Produce) is bustling most week-day mornings. James Redfern (left) of Crag Holdings and Sean Gor-don (right) of GFS load a truck with food that will be delivered to hotels and restaurants during the day. This truck will make 23 stops during the day redistributing the food that arrives from Delta. The shift for the drivers starts at 5 in the morning and usually goes to 4:30 pm.

Special constable Terry Kidd (left) and Consta-ble Jay Noppe go over prisoners’ medication sheets at the Nelson Police Department cells which also double as the local remand centre. There are a total of seven cells that of� cers administer at the downtown station.

With the fog almost lifted, Julia Dinoff (left) and Jamie Arishenkoff (right) sit on the Lakeside Park dock. The pair were starting off the summer right and will attend Grade 9 at LVR in September.

With a great view for his morning’s work, Jeff Bruin of Avail Custom Contracting Inc. measures up the roof of the home he is building in the hospital area. The contemporary design he is using will add a whole new character to the neighbourhood.

City of Nelson crews work on removing the giant elm tree that was taken down the day before on Silica Street. It’s estimated the tree — which grew in front of St. Saviour’s Anglican Church — had been there for 100 years. But it had become a hazard and was removed on an arbor-ist’s advice. Wood from the tree was given to local artisans to create carvings from its massive trunk. The city will replace the tree once the stump is removed.

After a morning of walking, this group heads to the A&W on Railway Street for some coffee and conversation. The group includes (clockwise from top): Trent Nash, Millie Harper, Phyllis Nash, Joy Lobach and Kay Tencza. The group has been walking together for 20 years to stay in shape and in the winter retreats to the NDCC for their morning exercise.

Starting the morn-ing off with poached eggs in Uphill.

Klea (left) and Amaya Schraner head downtown for a morning of grocery shop-ping. The mother and daughter brought along Amaya’s favourite stuffie named Teddy who got the easy ride in the stroller. Amaya had just finished Grade 1 at South Nelson Elementary School the day before and was looking forward to a great summer of fun.

With the scaffolding surrounding the businesses on the corner of Baker and Kootenay Streets down, it was time to get the patio set up at Relish. Dale Hess helps out his son Trevor by giving the deck walls a fresh coat of paint. He doesn’t mind the job of brush to wood — his father was a painter.

Janice Metzner does some landscaping at her rental property in Uphill to fill a space left by a tree that was taken out when its roots started taking over the yard. Using hostas started in her own gar-den that features over an acre of streams, ponds and greenery, the woman loves getting her hands in the earth. Next up were some carpet roses for the sunny front of the home.

Matthew Lehr, Evan Ouchi and Mason Ouchi play ball hockey in the blazing sun at Lions Park. The first day of summer holidays was the perfect chance for these Nelson Minor Hockey players to pick up their hockey sticks. It was the first time they’d done so since the end of their season in April.

Joanne Emily (left) was delighted to share a picnic table at Lakeside Park with a crew of kids who call her Gemma. Her grandkids, daughter and daughter-in-law were all in Nelson for the long weekend. Lunching at Lakeside was just one of many things the extended family enjoyed while spending time together.

The price of lemonade seems immune to in� ation with these kids selling it for the classic 25 cents a glass. Saving up for a trip to Disney World, Paityn, Emma and Chase Lake were joined by Seth and Quinn. They set up their � rst lemonade stand of the summer in Fairview and seemed to be doing a brisk business. Could be the cheapest drink in town?

Donning the controversial “Anonymous” mask, Dawn Marie Harris writes her message on a Stop Harper banner a crew of protesters planned to hang from the Big Orange Bridge on Canada Day. The group had their banner laid out at Lakeside for anyone to contribute their thoughts on the state of the federal government.

10:02 pmThe Big Orange Bridge started the day masked in thick fog as Nelson awoke from a soggy spring on June 28. As the morning fog slowly dissipated, the com-munity and all the amazing threads of its fabric came to life. Over the course of the day and into night, the start of the Canada Day long weekend was one to remember. As the sun set over the mountains, that same bridge again cast a beautiful, glimmering reflection over the West Arm.


Sam Van Schie is a re-porter and photographer at the Nelson Star and editor of {vurb}. She can often be found snapping photos at community events, theatre dress rehearsals and art show openings. This is her second year contributing to Day in the Live of Nelson. When not behind the lens, she can be found taking in all the outdoor wonders of the Kootenays and training for the triathlon.

Bob Hall has been at this a (very) long time and is just happy to be part of the amazing talent of these 20 pages. He started out taking pictures with a K-1000 and a roll of black-and-white film at Junior Leafs games in 1994. He’s still puzzled by the digital technology which he now gets to do most of the work for him. You can find more of his photos on Instagram at bobbyhall10.

When Kirsten Hildebrand returned to work as a reporter last fall, she relished the chance to use big words again. With her life as a stay-at-home mom of three at a close, the resident of Nelson for over a dozen years stopped making soup and laundering kiddie clothes for covering community. (Well, maybe she still makes soup and does laundry.) In her spare time, she is a voracious reader and loves to hike and camp.

Melissa Welsh has been creating photographs in Nelson since 2006. She is an Accredited Professional Photographer and was awarded the Best Pictorial Photograph in Canada in 2013. She has built a career photographing weddings, businesses, and outdoor pursuits. Her work can be found in private collections around the world as well as in regional, national and international publications.

Emilee Zaitsoff of Electrify Photography is a freelance photographer recently returned to her hometown here in Nelson, BC. Her interest in pho-tography was inspired five years ago by the passion and creativity of local bands and musicians. When she’s not out beaching, hiking and camping in the sun, you’ll see her, camera in hand, shooting local events, concerts and weddings.
