The Nakusp and Revelstoke RCMP have located the missing 83 yr old Nakusp woman, follow-ing several days of search efforts.

RCMP Air Services discovered the vehicle November 5 submerged in Arrows Lake, followed by a recovery of the deceased woman from her vehicle by

the RCMP diver team on November 6.

She had last been seen on October 24th, 2011, trav-eling to Revelstoke for an eye appointment, but had

not been heard from since. The next of kin were

immediately notified.Released on behalf of:

As he lays a wreath today at the Nelson Remembrance Day Service, Cody Archambeault, 17, of Winlaw, will be passing on a special legacy from The War Amps.

Cody, a right leg ampu-tee due to cancer, is proud to belong to Operation Legacy, in which members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program pass the Association’s remembrance message from war ampu-

tee veterans to the younger generation.

Though Operation Legacy members have not experienced war firsthand, they know what it is like to live without a limb – a bond they share with war ampu-tee veterans. They will con-tinue The War Amps tradi-tion of “amputees helping amputees” and pass on the remembrance message long into the future.

Nelson Cadet mourns at the 2010 Rememberance Day ceremony at City Hall

War Amps legacy lives on

Dog bylaw survey resultsIn August 2011, the

Regional District of Central Kootenay undertook a non-binding Opinion Poll in Electoral Area H (Slocan Valley) to gauge the com-munity’s interest in hav-ing a bylaw to regulate the keeping of dogs.

As of todays’s date, 37.5% of the Opinion Poll surveys were returned with 69.2% of those residents who returned the survey not in favour of

implementing a dog control service in area H.

The Area Director will make a decision as to whether or not to proceed with implementling and enforcing a dog regulato-ry bylaw or taking other actions to reduce the dog conflict issues in Electoal Area H.

On the morning of Wednesday, Nov. 9, the town square in front of Nelson City Hall was a less colourful site than it has been for the previous three weeks. No signs were displayed and no tents were present either. Has the Occupation ended you might wonder? Have the Occupiers gone home?

The answer, I’m glad to relate, is no. We are still here, just temporarily relo-cated around the corner. You can see our Resource tent on the grass just below the parking lot.

What has happened is that in order to honour the Veterans we have moved out of the square so that the

Legion can have full use of the space for Remembrance Day ceremonies on Friday Nov, 11. The reason we moved today is to allow the city to prune the trees and blow-out the sprinkler sys-tem in order to get ready for winter.

The relocation is an example of the way that Occupy Nelson participants have worked with the com-munity in an inclusive and respectful manner. Many among us did not feel that our presence on the square would impede the ceremo-nies, but we heard the voic-es that were concerned, and decided that the best way to honour the Veterans was to listen to them..

We honour our Veterans

To improve the effec-tiveness and efficiency of the transit system, BC Transit customers in Nelson will see a number of sched-ule and route changes start-ing Monday, November 14.

Service changes include a new 10 North Shore run to Balfour. The last trip will now leave Downtown Nelson at 8:40 p.m. and arrive at Balfour at 9:25 p.m.

A new service will also be provided to Blewett. The new route 24 Nelson-Blewett, which will make three return trips a day and will be monitored for cus-tomer use for a period of 6 months.

To improve access to and from Castlegar, a new evening trip on the 99 Nelson-Castlegar will meet the connector leaving Trail, and be of benefit to students and workers. The last trip from Nelson to Castlegar now leaves Ward at Baker at 4:55 p.m. and the last trip from Castlegar to Nelson now leaves Selkirk College at 5:45 p.m. Strong rider-ship aboard the 99 and com-munity feedback has proven the demand for this expand-ed service.

3 Rosemont – route will

continue on Observatory and no longer serve Perrier Road

2 Fairview – route will continue on Gordon and no longer serve Radio Avenue

Waldorf run is discon-tinued

Shuttles are flying, wheels are whirring, and knitting needles are clicking as the members of the Selkirk Weavers and Spinners’ Guild prepare for their annual sale and exhibit this month. Admission is free.

Cotton, linen, wool, silk, alpaca, and mohair are some of the natural fibres which are the first choice of guild members to work with. Tea towels and table linens in a full spectrum of colours are the hottest of items. The variety of weaving patterns, combed with colours, earns these humble items the term “functional art.”

Over the last few years, hand-knit socks have made an appearance at Guild sales.

“We have several members who have such patience and fine knitting skills, fashion-ing the coziest socks in the most delightful colours. One of our members, Sheila Hawton, who knits two socks at a time on circular knit-ting needles,” states Sandra Donohue, a guild member from Robson.

About twenty members make up the Selkirk Weavers’ and Spinners’ Guild. Awong meeting regularly they also run a gift shop with demos in weaving and spinning during the summer months.

Joseph Henry Bourgeois passed away on November 4, 2011 at Jubilee Manor at age 83.

Born in Crescent Valley May 18, 1928 to pioneers Henri and Hortense Bourgeois who moved from Quebec to Nelson in 1905.

They homesteaded in Crescent Valley in 1908, which at that time was called Bourgeois Siding on the CPR railroad. Over the next 25 years Henri built up his farm and dairy business. The barn is still standing today.

Joe’s 7 older brothers and sis-ters took their turns hand milking 30 cows before and after school. At age 16 Joe delivered milk to homes in the South Slocan area. Milk cans were sent to CM&S (Cominco) in Trail by train. Many of Joe’s friends learned to drive the milk truck.

In 1950 Joe began work for West Kootenay Power patrolling power lines, in 1954 he joined the line crew as truck driver/maintenance and construction crew. Upon retirement in 1988 he had a safety record of 38 years.

In 1955, he married Josephine Stonoski. They had 2 children Ron and Christine, living in South Slocan for 47 years. He was resourceful and liked to work with his hands repairing house-hold items and cars. In 2002 they moved to Taghum where he continued to be always on call to help friends, neighbours’ and

community. He is survived by his wife

Josephine of 56 years, son Ron (Pam) grand daughters Nicole and Shay of Madison, Wisconsin, daughter Christine LePage (Doug) of Nelson, grand-son Stuart (Nadine) of Kamloops and grand daughter Renee of Vancouver, brother in law John Stonoski (Hilda) of Abbotsford, brother in law Ed Stonoski (Bev) of Langley. Sister Mariette of Windsor Ontario. Predeceased by parents and siblings Cecile, Gaston, Yvette, Helen, Louis, and Maurice.

Mass of Christian Burial was held at Cathedral of Mary Immaculate,Thursday, November 10, 2011 with Father Jim Ratcliffe as celebrant. Interment followed in the Nelson Memorial Park Cemetery.

Anyone wishing to donate in Joe’s memory, please con-sider Kootenay Lake Hospital Retinology Clinic, Nelson #3 View Street, Nelson VIL 2VI or St. Joseph’s School, 523 Mill Street, Nelson V1L 4S2.

Veterans of war need our support

Remembrance Day is held in Canada on Friday, Nov. 11. The purpose is to remember the members of the armed forces who have died in the line of duty since World War I.

We need to remem-ber, so we can be clear about the need for nonvio-lent solutions to our con-flicts. Veterans are heroes because they fought for their country. Too many come back to Canada liv-

ing with physical disabili-ties. Too many soldiers return with either debili-tating depression or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Being a veteran does not guarantee you a job or housing.

We look forward to a more peaceful world. Our veterans serve to remind us that we need to put an end to war and that there are ways to resolve our conflicts peacefully.

Let the veterans be our teachers.

If elected, what would be one of your first priorities?

Nelson’s mayoral candidatesRichard RowberryJosh Smienk

What I see as a priority is to restore confidence in local government. Having a respite has been very grounding for me, people have been more open to pointing out their concerns with local government. The way the RDCK has been conducting public process-es, discourages the sharing of issues, ideas and con-cerns with your neighbours. The use of counter petition process for raising funds where not one public infor-mation meeting is called and residents objections have to follow a process of col-lecting thousands of signa-tures to have a referendum, is not conducive to open and honest government. I believe it is important to ensure that the RDCK has a policy on consultation which will outline what the public can expect in all pub-lic processes. This should be developed with partici-pation of the public not just elected officials. The recent increases in taxation of up to 40% in some areas in an economic climate when people having trouble mak-ing ends meet is in my opin-ion irresponsible.

Ramona FaustI want to gather all of

the community groups in Area E together to carve out their priorities for the next three years. We have done some great work. With a planned approach we can use our resources strategically. Area E peo-ple have high volunteer-ism and don’t necessar-ily believe in tax con-tributions for recreation. We have three commu-nity halls, two renovated multipurpose churches, two renovated multi pur-pose school buildings, playgrounds, schools, parks, playing fields, a bike park, riding arenas, beaches, a converted ski hill/ recreation area, hik-ing trails. With all of this infrastructure to look after in Area E, the Kootenay Lake Hospital is still very important to residents and people in Blewett and rural Nelson still have a tax commitment to the Nelson Regional Recreation Complex. I would like to get a sense of how they want me to move forward with sup-porting their wishes and hard work.

RDCK Area E

The Express News Update asked all the candidates for Nelson, Regional District Area E and Area F a series of

questions using the contact information provided by the BC government. The answers of all candidates who responded to this

week’s question have been included.

This week we asked the candidates just to tell us a little bit about what

their priorities would be if elected. This concludes our question series for this elec-tion. Please remember to vote on Saturday, Nov. 19!

Ask the Candidates

A Citizens’ Forum: Nelson enjoys a wide vari-ety of opinions about how “they” should do things. A vocal few have the mobil-ity, the time and willingness to express those opinions; many rarely get engaged – either through apathy or a sense that it won’t do any good; and others like things as they are, vote every three years and let it go at that. They all have valid points of view - all need a forum in which to express them.

I would like to get together with wiser heads than mine to develop a series of mech-anisms to facilitate commu-nication and consultation among council, city admin-istration, issue stakehold-ers, community experts, and those who would appreciate the perspectives of others. I envision a combination of public meetings, on-line discussion groups, social media sites, all co-ordinated through the city’s website.

subjects. Ideally, I’ll try to bring what is happening on the streets (i.e. “Occupy!” demonstrations and ide-als) into council chambers. Apply emerging visions of a better, post-capitalist world to what City Hall does.

I need to say here that today, November 11, is Remembrance Day, so I’ll be in front of Nelson’s cenotaph as I have been for war memorial celebra-tions since 2007, protesting war. Grieving our war dead, while confusing that mes-sage with a “victory” cele-bration, is anti-educational. I’m an educator.

So last, I’ll make edu-cating Nelson citizens, about resolving their issues, a priority of my Council work.

Paula KissNelson’s cost of living

is one of our most signifi-cant issues. Young families must find homes here, busi-nesses must be able to hire and retain staff, low income people must be able to live modestly, but comfortably.

Two of my main priori-ties would therefore be to:

1) Address housing affordability by encour-aging development of smaller homes and suites. Progressive leadership can and must shift incentives from building huge homes to creating safe, modestly sized homes/suites for rent or ownership. This can be done by updating building bylaws, restructuring utili-

ties fees and connections rates.

2) Address the burden of car ownership by improv-ing transit and encouraging development of Kootenay Carshare. I will find ways to work with BC transit on improving, routes and frequency of service. If we expect to preserve and enhance mobility, transit (like car sharing) must be not only viable, but func-tional, reliable and enjoy-able to use.

Deb KozakCouncil will be enter-

ing budget deliberations very soon after election. If elected, I want to address two items in the coming year - parks planning and water and sewer rates. The city has proactively addressed long term plan-ning in the areas of sus-tainability, waterfront and downtown development and greenhouse gas reduc-tion strategies to name a few. Considering that we hope to add two more parks on the waterfront in future, we need to have good planning in place to establish and maintain all of our amenities. I’m also interested in taking stock of where we are at in our water and sewer infrastruc-ture upgrades. When we assess our progress, it may be possible to pull back on the aggressive rate increase structure that is in place.

If elected, what would be one of your first priorities?

Nelson’s council candidatesBob Adams:

At the top of my agenda is formulating and ratifying policy to support an increase in the housing options for residents of our community and completion of the rec-ommendations in the stud-ies that the City has com-missioned over the last six years. Action is required.

Candace Batycki:The City has done

some excellent planning in the last two years, with the input of hundreds of citizens and dozens of com-munity groups and orga-nizations, but even the best plans can gather dust without the political will to make them reality. The Path to 2040 Sustainability Strategy is intended to be an umbrella document that guides all future policy and planning decisions. Council now needs to work with city staff to look at all our plans and policies, and develop an implementation action plan. Once we have an action plan we can put in place the working groups and com-mittees that can get to work to make our dreams real, always in consultation with the citizens of Nelson, both formally and informally. I’ll be looking for ways to keep activities effective, transpar-ent and accountable, build bridges and partnerships, attract resources, and keep the public engaged.

Robin CherboI will endeavour is to

establish a friendly, work-ing relationship with the newly elected City council members and the Mayor. My priority will be to look at the subject of public tran-sit. Because six thousand citizens a year have used transit on Sunday, I will work with Council and staff to review the possibility of getting Sunday transit ser-vice back in the City and to be operated by City Public employees. All possibilities for transit can be reviewed, even if it is for reduced hours, to assist seniors, fam-ilies and physical disabled people to be able to travel around the City on Sunday. I also wish to continue to work with staff and council to establish opportunities for public input into any major decisions that affects the community. ‘Principals of Public Participation’ is; “Those affected by a deci-sion have the right to be involved in the decision-making process.”

Charles JeanesTwo personal priori-

ties: establish relations with my council colleagues after being critical of them dur-ing the election campaign; read a lot of documents, research papers and legis-lation affecting this job of being a Nelson councillor, so I can be less at the mercy of city-hall experts on all

If elected, what would be one of your first priorities?Nelson’s council candidates

Donna MacdonaldIf I’m elected, one of

my first priorities will be to work with my Council col-leagues to divvy up the vari-ous committees and portfo-lios. I think we can organize our workload more effec-tively – perhaps moving back to a committee system rather than everyone having to know everything about everything.

A major piece of work ahead is to oversee inte-gration of the plans of the past three years and devel-opment of an action plan.

That’s a priority for me.Then, we’ll need to

begin discussing Council priorities for at least the next year. Because come January, we’ll sharpen our pencils and dive into the financial plan (budget) pro-cess. That’s very intense and complex, and it’s also where things can be made to hap-pen. The greatest ideas, the best campaign intentions, go nowhere if Council doesn’t allocate funds.

It will also be a personal priority for me to remember to go skiing!

Margaret StaceyIt would not be first

a single focal issue; it would be to solidify and define our relationships with the nearest Regional Districts and other cit-ies of the West Kootenay, and that depends on the outcomes of their elec-tions. Our biggest chal-lenge and biggest asset, in my view, is the relation-ship with our neighbours, and no matter what lead-ership we provide on issues in the City of Nelson, stra-tegic regional integration

is the key to our sustain-ability on many fronts, and makes us a more powerful cohort when approaching senior governments and partners regarding our needs.

Locally, however, the City of Nelson has in the queue a series of new implementation strategies and bylaws that have been assigned their priority sta-tus by Council agreement, and my hope is that the next Council will follow what has been carefully considered and set for 2012.

THE ANSWERS TO LAST WEEKS SURVEY

MANUFACTURING, types that employ locally, but don’t destroy our environment. Also, I would like to see the local governments work with these employers. As a small employer we feel the weight of gov-ernment regulations & mounds of paperwork. (RDCK especially)

SMALL business, family based business, more money to creative entrepeneurs and keep the filthy industies in Trail and Castlegar where they are accept with open wallets! Let’s worry about our envi-roment more that our economy. The enviroment means the every land!

I liked Paula’s suggestion for Environmentally based businesses.

YES, if they are like Pacific Insight; no smokestacks, no noise with the bulk of their manufac-tured products being exported and bringing large dollars back to the Kootenays economy; not to men-tion a multi million dollar local pay-roll !!! GREAT SUCCESS STORY!!!

WE have enough industrial cen-ters in BC. Our background begs for something natural and invigo-rating... How about making Nelson & area the center of health & well-ness? People would know our town as the place they can come to heal, breath fresh air, energize, normal-ize their weight, become strong and happy. People are slowly realiz-ing that the health of an individual, and the community in whole, is the economic base for further develop-ment.

INDUSTRIES that create or improve technologies to heat our homes and propell our cars with less fuel.

BIG business comes with sac-rifice, trees get cut, rocks get moved,water gets dirty, people protest, complain. Without com-promise, understanding, give and take, what is out their that would hire a large amount of people and still please all? Still looking for the perfect business.

On Saturday, Nov. 19, we go to the polls to elect a mayor, a city council and a director for the Regional Disctrict. Once in office,

these people have a great responsibility to run our local government in the best inter-est of our community. There are so many different things

different people would like to see improved or fixed.

What do you think the elected candidates first pri-orities should be?

Does Nelson/Slocan/the Regional District need more large industrial employers?

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

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

First Priorities for Local Politicians

Yes44%

No56%

I wouldn’t mind a large employer as long as they were committed to community, honest business prac-tices, environmental responsibility, and social justice. It wouldn’t hurt if they were locally owned and pri-vately or cooperatively held, as well.

INDUSTRY or Economy first? Do we want the same filthy air, land and water quality as Castlegar and Trail? The stink? The poisons? The cancers?

When I leave my house in Uphill there is a lot of snow on the ground, so how come it is rain-ing downtown? A vertical distribution of tempera-ture can affect whether precipitation will fall as rain, snow, sleet or freez-ing rain at the surface. To see why my winter boots are only useful in Uphill, I measured whether there is a significant difference in temperature between Uphill and downtown. I made three stops along Stanley St., at Baker (downhill), at Observatory (mid-hill) and all the way

Should I wear snow boots or rain boots?

at the top (uphill). At each location I measured the ele-vation, the temperature and the snow depth. According to my GPS, there is a 65 metre elevation difference between downhill and mid-hill, and a 114 metre differ-ence in elevation between mid-hill and uphill, for a total of 179 metres. The temperature on Baker was 1.5˚C and the snow depth was a measly 3.5cm (hard-ly worth winter boots!) At Observatory, the tempera-ture was 1.0˚C with a snow depth of 10cm. And, at the top of the hill, it was 0.2˚C and there was at least 18cm of snow on the ground. The temperature drop that occurs

with increasing eleva-tion has been described mathematically by the “lapse rate”. The rate of cooling is approximately 6.5˚C per 1000 metres. So, using this rate and a 179 metre difference in altitude, the difference in temperature between uphill and downhill should be around 1.2˚C. Amazingly enough, (well, I think it is amazing) the difference in temperature between uphill and down-hill was 1.3˚C, almost exactly what we expected using the lapse rate. So enjoy Spring downtown while we enjoy winter in Uphill!
