The Nelson HENS group (Homegrown Eggs for Nelson Sustainability) is encouraging Nelson resi-dents to attend the City of Nelson’s “Hens & Bees” Open House.
There will be presenta-tions by the regional Apiary (Bee) Inspector and a local expert on bear issues at 7pm sharp. There will be infor-mation about how other municipalities are handling these issues, including some of the concerns and ben-efits. Whether you would
like to learn more about backyard hens and bees or you have some solution-ori-ented ideas to share with council, please attend this important event.
The idea of backyard chickens is not new. Cities as large as Los Angeles, New York and Vancouver have passed bylaws allow-ing residents to keep a few hens, and communities as small and rural as Rossland and Kaslo have also suc-cessfully been keeping hens, so why not Nelson?
Of course, the City of Nelson is unique and home-grown ideas on how to make backyard hens and bees a success in our city are needed. For example, The Nelson Good Neighbours neighbourhood volunteer mediation program was put together precisely to sup-port new initiatives such as this in our city. A few rep-resentatives of the program will be there to explain their potential role.
The information pre-sented will be made avail-
able on the City’s webpage after the event. There will also be an opportunity to leave comments online, so those who cannot attend the Open House can have their input heard.

CommunityNewsPeace activist and former Iraqi hostage speaks in NelsonFriday, Feb. 8, 7 p.m. at the Shambhala Music & Performing Hall, Selkirk CollegeTenth Street Campus, Nelson
In November 2005, Loney and three other men were captured by armed gunmen and held hostage in Iraq. Loney was part of a delegate from Christian Peacemaker Teams – an organization that sends activists trained in nonvio-lence to conflict zones in order to reduce violence. The four were in Iraq in order to work with local organizations on humani-tarian projects, to support local peace and human rights work, and to raise awareness back home about the human rights abuses being perpetrated by the American-backed war in Iraq.
“We are very happy to have James Loney be part of the Mir Centre for Peace Winter Lecture Series. He brings a personal story that is very inspiring” says Randy Janzen, Chair for the Mir Centre for Peace at Selkirk College.
Loney and his three colleagues, fellow Canadian Harmeet Singh Sooden, Norman Kember of Britain
and American Tom Fox, were kidnapped and held hostage in Baghdad in a story that made interna-tional headlines. Their 118 days of captivity were the ultimate test of personal strength. All four captives were handcuffed together which made basic physical tasks like sleeping and eat-ing extremely challenging. Additionally, the boredom, the scarcity of food and not knowing whether one would make it out alive, challenged their psycho-logical and spiritual well-being. Loney, Kember and Sooden were rescued in a high profile military opera-tion after 118 days in cap-tivity. Tom Fox, however, had been killed two weeks before their release.
Loney’s rescue did not end his relationship with his former captors. Loney, Kember and Sooden pub-licly forgave their captors at a press conference in 2006. In 2007, Loney and his col-leagues refused to testify at the trial of their captors, who were being held in

Loney’s story has been captured in his highly acclaimed book, Captivity: 118 Days in Iraq and the Struggle for a World Without War. Loney will be sharing his personal experi-ence of captivity, his vision of a world without war, and his life-long commitment to pacifism.

There are several possi-ble sources of cold from the exterior that can cause water pipes to freeze. Because the pipes at your kitchen sink are the only ones that have been affected this may indi-cate that a small portion of the water piping travels through a section of exterior wall before the pipes reach your sink. Occasionally, for convenience or appearance,
The hot and cold water pipes under my kitchen sink have both frozen during this recent cold snap. None of the other water pipes throughout the house have been effected. Can you suggest a reason for this and possible solutions?

plumbers will install a small portion of the hot and cold piping in an exterior wall just before it comes into the sink cabinet.
Insulation installers in turn, split the insulation batts around the piping which ensures that only half of the wall insulation is installed between the piping and the exterior siding. This means that the piping is protected by R10 instead of R20 insu-lation. During a cold snap this is often insufficient pro-
tection to prevent pipes from freezing.
If during your investi-gation you find that this is the case consider relocat-ing the pipes closer to the inside warm surface of the exterior wall. Also, increase the amount of insulation on the cold side of the wall by installing high-density ridged insulation behind the pipes, which has a higher R-value per inch of thickness than traditional Fiberglas insula-tion.
You can also consider installing heat tape on an exposed portion of the pipe near the area of freezing. Purchase a good quality, thermostatically controlled tape because it will last lon-ger and conserve electricity by coming on only at lower temperatures. Check your heat tape every fall for func-tion before relying on it to protect your pipes.

Scope Creep workshop brings project management expert to NelsonWednesday Jan. 30, 1-4 p.m. at the Prestige Lakeside Resort in Nelson
Lurking in the heart of many proj-ects and contractors is the dreaded Scope Creep. Gradually and subtly, it begins to expand the breadth of the project, already underway, with the addition of new ideas and features.
The result for project staff and contractors can be a loss of time and money, but when handled well, scope change can allow projects to be more tailored to fit client needs, and allow the client to better understand what additional factors should be consid-ered. Jamal Moustafaev, president of Thinktank Consulting and internation-ally acclaimed expert in the areas of project management, scope definition and requirements analysis, will address these issues in a half-day workshop on
managing project scope.“Projects are one of the key ele-
ments to most businesses, whether it is developing a new product or managing a new marketing initiative. Most businesses have experienced the frustration of a project going over budget, over time, or spiralling away with customer change requests. It is not only frustrating, but can impact company profits and brand.” said Amber Hayes, KAST Mentorship and Business Assistance (MBA) Program Coordinator.
“We are fortunate to have the opportunity to learn from an expert like Mr. Moustafev. Making changes to how projects are written and deliv-ered can make a real and very positive
impact on Kootenay businesses.”Mr. Moustafaev is a highly
regarded speaker and the author of “Delivering Exceptional Project Results: A Practical Guide to Project Selection, Scoping, Estimation and Management”, and “Project Scope Management: A Practical Guide for Engineering, Product, Construction, IT and Enterprise Projects”.
The workshop is being offered free of charge and is coordinated by the Kootenay Association for Science and Technology (KAST). Space is limited, and registration is required.

Free Aboriginal business course coming to NelsonAfter being presented to over
1,500 people in 85 communities around BC, the free Aboriginal BEST (Business and Entrepreneurship Skills Training) program is com-ing to Nelson. Aboriginal BEST is open to anyone who self-identifies as Aboriginal, in full or in part. BEST helps participants identify business opportunities and determine their fea-sibility. They learn how to conduct market research, write business plans and explore financing options. If they want, they get to pitch their business idea to a panel of community lead-ers. A wide variety of guest speak-ers round out the training. Graduates then have the unique opportunity to apply to a loan program set up just for BEST participants. And take part in a Dragon’s Den-type business com-
petition in Vancouver in March, all expenses paid.
Nelson resident Bruce Lacroix is the Provincial Coordinator of BEST and created the training program and will be facilitating the Nelson course. “We do not ask for Aboriginal ID at the door. Many Canadians have Aboriginal lineage. A parent, grand parent or great-grand parent who was First Nations, Metis or Inuit means that you are Aboriginal for the pur-pose of this program.
The program is supported by the B.C. Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation and Service Canada. Its goal is giving Aboriginal people the skills needed to create their own jobs and build capacity in local communities. The program has generated many successful busi-
nesses including restaurants, heavy equipment operators, cycle shops, fishing charters, tutors, trainers, cater-ing, native art, furniture manufacturer, lawn care, first-aid trainers, computer recycling, tour-guiding, gift-shop, website developer and home mainte-nance businesses.
The free program will be offered in mid-February in partnership with Community Futures. Anyone interested in finding out more is invited to a free information session on Wednesday, January 30th at Community Futures, 514 Vernon Street. And you can go online to www.aboriginalbest.com to learn more and see what others have to say about the program or to register in advance.

Ever wonder how it is possible to skate on ice?
Skating is a good example of how the laws of physics apply to everyday activities. To get moving the first step in skating is pushing off. Here, Newton’s third law comes into play; it states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When you push off, your back
leg applies a force on the ice and the ice applies an opposite and equal force on your leg causing you to move forward. You now have kinetic energy (motion energy) as you glide forward and, in the-ory, you will keep moving until acted on by an exter-nal force, such as friction (Newton’s second law).
The contact between the blade and ice, how-ever, has a low coefficient of friction such that even a small push will keep you
gliding for a long distance. The low friction between the blade of your skate and the ice is due to a thin layer of water on the sur-face of the ice. Scientists used to think that the ice melted beneath the blade due to heat caused by fric-tion or pressure.
However, scientists have now determined that the top layer of ice always has a thin layer of water because the crystalline structure of ice molecules is not favoured at the ice/
air interface. Without this layer of water, the ice would have a friction coef-ficient similar to concrete!
Stopping on skates also involves physics. Although bumping into the boards is one way to stop, the proper stopping tech-nique involves turning the skate blade perpendicular to the direction of motion to increase the friction between the edge of the blade and the ice. Enjoy skating, and physics, this winter!

What you should know about hens and bees within city limitsCommentary by Grant MacHutchon, Wildlife Biologist, M.Sc., R.P.Bio.
I support the efforts of Nelson residents to raise their own food, however, I also know from my 30+ year professional experience as a biologist specializing in bears that hens and bees can be powerful attrac-tants to bears and other predators.
In principle, it is possible to raise hens and bees and have minimal con-flict with bears and other predators. However, this requires a concerted effort on the part of individual resi-dents and also strong guidance and direction from City staff. I would be more optimistic about this possibil-ity, but, unfortunately, to date City staff and residents have not done a very good job of managing garbage, fruit trees, and other attractants. A revised Waste Management Bylaw with wildlife attractant regulations has been in place since June 2011, but there has not been a concerted effort by City staff to make sure resi-
dents adhere to those regulations. If a better job is not done to regulate and manage all bear attractants, then hens and bees in the City will exac-erbate an already very difficult situa-tion. Multiple bears are killed every year and human property damaged in the City because of the inaction of individuals and the community at large.
Consequently, I would only sup-port the keeping of hens and bees in the City of Nelson if there was a strong bylaw regulating their hus-bandry and effective enforcement of this bylaw to ensure residents were meeting or exceeding the regulations. This bylaw should contain the fol-lowing:
· Beehives and chicken coops must be protected by a properly con-structed and maintained predator-exclusion electric fence. Despite some people’s fears, electric fences
pose little danger to humans. What risk would you rather have, the small possibility that a child is mildly shocked by an electric fence or the larger possibility that they bump into a black bear or grizzly bear roaming the City destroying coops and bee-hives?
· Chickens should be housed in appropriate coops that meet City specifications and should not be roaming freely.
· Chickens should be put in a hard sided hut within the coop at night.
· Chicken feed should be stored in a bear-resistant container or facil-ity and extra chicken feed should be cleaned up every day.
· Residents raising chickens or bees must be registered with the City and sign an agreement to maintain the chickens or bees according to the bylaw.

What to Wear and Why Should I Care?
by Spencer PollardMy Opinion
Often the first thing we do when we get up is decide what to wear;
it can be the most important deci-sion of the day. What do you want others to see you as? As the fun-loving guy in the office or the stern leader? It’s something people often don’t think about too much.
My general process regarding clothing is really non-existent, I generally wear whatever I have gotten good feedback from others. If I remember getting a compli-ment from a shirt i’ve worn to the office it usually is my first choice.
It makes the most sense to choose something you already know will get a positive reception. You should also of course dress the part, just because wearing your dirty old t-shirt at home is alright doesn’t make it appropriate for a work set-ting.
Clothing is important, sure it’s not as important of a thing to talk about as global or economic issues but it’s something we have to deal with everyday. So the next time you decide what to wear for the day, think smart and do what works for everyone.

How do you feel about backyard hens in the City of Nelson?
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/transfer_station
The Nelson Transfer Station will be moving, eventually. This will open up some prime waterfront real estate for potential development.
What do you think would be an appropriate use for this property?Click here or visit the link below
PROS: It’s a great, clean source of fresh high quality nutrition. Would love to see more city farming, greenhouse farming, and fish -stocking in our lake. It’s one more step towards Food Security. Good for citizens and children to be more in touch with the land. It’s traditional. CONS: Hens only, no roosters! Roosters can be brought into town for day visits :) No Killer Bees!
HENS provide valuable services and don’t present a risk to city-dwellers! It’s a no brainer- Nelson get with the times!
AS long as they are being kept in sanitary humane conditions and there is a sys-tem in place for dealing with people not meeting humane conditions. I think the more backyard food production we can all do, the better.
PROVIDES sustainability, better, healthier eggs, one less thing people have to buy from corporations.
IT just needs to be done right.
ATTRACTANT to preda-tors, Noise Potential health hazard.
BECAUSE having chick-en helps to create stronger food security and stronger communities.
THE locallest and freshest eggs possible! Friendly birds! There’s lots of great designs out there for small scale, humane, and neighbourly chicken coops - and the den-sity in my area (Uphill) is definitely low enough that there’s plenty of space to share some with chickens and bees.
NO roosters - they are noisy as soon as the sun comes up.
3 or 4 backyard hens pro-vide good eggs and compost to those who keep them. They are quiet (but not silent) and provide a tiny bit more autonomy a family can have over exactly what it eats.
A major part of my families diet as well as a great tool for teaching my 2 young children some great life lessons and responsibility.
IT’S all part of food secu-rity. We need to produce more of our own food and not rely on everything being trucked/flown in.
I need more information to decide
I do not think backyard hens should be allowed in city
I support backyard hens in Nelson and plan to keep them myself
I support other people keeping backyard hens in Nelson

Last week’s survey comments continued: TheSurvey
IT’S crazy to have such sustainability-minded folk not being able to sustain themselves on their own property!
I can’t see there being a bear problem as long as the chickens are kept enclosed at night and aren’t running all over the neighborhood. As for the noise, most times that’s the rooster...so I agree with limiting it to just hens.
WHY should it be a crime to produce food for ourselves? Shouldn’t we all be more self sustaining? Shouldn’t we help the environment by using local eggs in our backyards than driving to stores where the eggs were also trucked in from hundreds or thousands of kilometers away?
OVERALL people are responsible with their pets/ animals: which department would monitor the care of these hens, if concerns about their care were to arise.
AS long as there are bylaws that are enforced regarding quantity, safety/odor and ani-mal welfare issues, I think having backyard hens (and/or bees) could help with in providing local, sustainable and healthy food sources.
RAISING hens brings food security to people, and keeps them in touch with nature. Hens eat food scraps, thus becoming composters. Hens are wonderful for children to be around, and help with the related chores.
URBAN chicken coops should be occupied by hens only. Crowing roosters are one of the reasons why some people might be opposed.
RAISING our own eggs and chickens locally is a step toward enhanced food secu-rity. I don’t think chickens would be any more irritat-ing to neighbours than dogs already are. And if tensions should arise between neigh-bours over backyard hens, there is a free voluntary mediation service available from the Transition Nelson Good Neighbour program.
HENS don’ scare meI would like to support
this idea but I don’t think that most people realise the work involved in properly cleaning a chicken’s cage/area so that it doesn’t smell bad to their neighbours. It’s a lot of responsibility, and I would only support it if there were guidelines and someone from the city who was responsible for checking on the cleanliness and health of the cages/yards/chickens on a regular basis.
I belive that this would work very well if the num-ber of hens is limited and “farmers” are required to take out an annual permit that the City can keep track of hen holders for statistical reasons and to be able to control non-compliant hen holders.
THE more connected people are to where their food comes from, the bet-ter. If residents of cities like Vancouver, New York and London can have chickens, it’s crazy that we can’t in Nelson!
THEY attract predators to the city which could endan-ger children. It would cost too much to police.
THERE a no problems with the idea that cannot be easily overcome, and we can certainly be more respon-sible for our own food local production.
I support 100 % having domestic birds in the city. I live on the edge of Nelson and worry about attracting predators hoping the meeting will address this and would like to keep goats as well.
ITS ridiculous if you want hens have hens. If you have close neighbours ask then if they will have issue, but real-ly if you take care of them properly your neighbours won’t even know.
A small number of well managed hens reduces our collective carbon footprint and gives good compost.
I kept hens in Procter, a high-density urban-like area for 15 years with no prob-lems with either neighbours, nor wild-life which is certainly prevalent, for the city to be standing in the way is absurd.
HENS will draw coyotes and other animals that prey on chickens. Not everyone will keep their hen coops clean resulting in very smelly air. Houses are too close together in most areas of Nelson so neighbours’ chick-ens will sound as if they are in one’s yard.
CHICKENS are a wonder-ful resource for feeding our-selves with their eggs. They also can be very rewarding in that they are entertaining to watch, can have stunning plumage, and are great for keeping pests out of your garden.
GROWING concerns about food safety and security have led to an increased interest in citizens (such as myself) hav-ing more control over their own food supply. City Council needs to show its leadership on this issue, and can do so by promoting different pro-grams and initiatives that promote local, community food sources. As more people living within urban environ-ments realize the lack of con-nectivity they have with the majority of their food sourc-es, they need to have ways to become more involved in their own food production. Raising a few chickens in a contained environment in their own backyard ensures an accessible, healthy, organic, and local source of nutritious protein in the form of fresh eggs on a daily basis, and is one simple solution to the problem. For the few people that would undertake own-ing and caring for chickens in the city, a simple set of rules laid out by a new City bylaw (such as restricted numbers of chickens per owner, lim-ited coop and pen size vs. lot size, set distances from other buildings, etc.) could easily be set in place to ensure that the City maintains its charm, while further demonstrating that Nelson is a place that promotes sustainable liv-ing, environmental aware-ness, and forward thinking. Surely if larger cities such as Toronto, Vancouver, New York and London have found ways to make it work, a city such as Nelson can as well, not to mention all the other place across BC that are now allowing people to take part in growing their own food.

Anne Chernoff
Anne was born on August 25th, 1920 to Bill and Annie Barabonoff in Pelly, Saskatchewan. She was the older sister to her only sibling Fred. Anne, her parents and brother Fred left Pelly and moved to Salmo, BC.
On December 29th, 1944 Anne married Pete Chernoff and togeth-er they made their per-manent home in Salmo, BC. Pete worked at the Rotter Lumber Mill while Anne stayed back and tended to the household. Unfortunately they were never blessed with any children. In 1971, Pete
passed away at the early age of 51. Anne remained in Salmo and began car-ing for her mother Annie Barabonoff. On November 13th, 1984 Grandmother Barabonoff passed away and Auntie Ann remained in the town of Salmo.
Auntie kept busy and was very well known for her handy-crafts. When you walked into her house she had her cro-cheted doilies placed on the furniture and hung on the walls. Afghans with matching pillows laid everywhere. You knew that if you received a gift it would be one of those items that would be trea-sured forever.
In 1993, she made the move to Castlegar and bought herself a trailer near the “Banana” store (No Frills). There was no mistaking which home belonged to Anne. The flowers seemed to fill
every square inch of her yard; but it was the Red Rose bush in the front that stood out the most.
Auntie spent her time singing with the Nelson Doukhobor Ladies Choir and traveling. She loved travelling but it was her trip to Russia that was the most memorable and would remain in her mind as some of the happiest moments spent in her life. She did take several other trips that included; the Oregon Coast, Laflin, Hawaii as well as the vari-ous bus trips exploring the countless gambling places in the state of Washington.
In 2011, Auntie was moved to Castle Wood Village. During her time there she made many friends and enjoyed an active social life.
On December 23rd, 2012 she was not feel-ing well and was admit-
ted to Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital. Due to complications of her ill-ness she passed away peacefully on January 16, 2013 at the age of 92 years.
She is predeceased by her parents William and Annie Barabonoff, beloved husband Pete Chernoff and numerous 1⁄2 brothers and sisters.
She is survived by her brother Fred, countless nephews and nieces as well as many friends.
A Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, January 24th, 2013 from 9AM until Noon at the Crescent Valley Hall with burial to follow at the Krestova Cemetery.
Online condolences may be expressed at www.thompsonfs.ca
Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Thompson Funeral Service Ltd.
Annie Pearl SylvesterApril 22, 1921 – January 19, 2013
On Saturday, January 19, 2013 at the Fairview
Home, Brandon, MB, Annie “Anne” Pearl Sylvester, beloved wife of the late William (Bill) Sylvester, passed away at the age of 91 years.
Predeceased by her husband William (Bill), her parents; 3 brothers and 2 sisters. Anne is survived by her 2 sons: Robert (Pat) of Nelson, BC; 3 grandchildren Chris (Mel) and their children Cade and Brooke of Amman,
Jordan, Leigh (Elyssa) and their children Tayler and Ty of Edmonton, AB and Tricia (Harold Alexander) of Castlegar, BC; and son Gary (Brenda) of Brandon, MB.
Anne’s life was wrapped up in her home, family and friends.
Should friends so desire, memorial dona-tions may be made to the Portage District General Hospital Foundation, 524
Fifth St S.E., Portage la Prairie, MB, R1N 3A8 or to a charity of the donor’s choice.
Condolences may be sent to the family c/o Omega Funeral Home, 83 Royal Road South, Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, R1N 1T8, 1-800-303-4621 or friends may leave a mes-sage of sympathy on their web site:www.omegafuneralhome.com or www.thompsonfs.ca
