Last week, heavy precip-itation has caused structural damage to several homes on Hamill Creek north of Kaslo and impacted various other creeks throughout the region. Highway 31A was closed due to high water running across and a small number of campers at Glacier Creek were stranded.

Glacier Creek Park Regional Park on Duncan Lake is closed until further notice. The park could be closed for at least several weeks, or longer accord-ing to Cary Gaynor, Parks Operations Supervisor for the Regional District of Central Kootenay

A number of small water

systems have been impact-ed or damaged. Water user groups have activated their emergency water plans. Several slides on area creeks have pushed debris into Kootenay Lake. Boaters are advised to exercise caution due to logs and debris.

Kalein Hospice Centre is pleased to announce the appointment of Cindy Fairs as the Centre’s first Executive Director. Originally from Kelowna, Fairs has relo-cated to nelson in order to lead Kalein’s development vision for a unique cam-pus integrating a Centre for Dialogue and Education with a hospice care facility serving those at end-of-life and their families.

“Our board is really pleased and excited to have someone of Cindy’s caliber taking the reins of our young organization,” says Brooke

Leatherman, chair of Kalein’s board of directors, adding that, “her professional background and experience are ideally suited to leading Kalein dur-ing this formative time in the growth of the Centre. Having a full time Executive Director will allow Kalein to advance its plans for Centre develop-ment much more rapidly.”

Speaking of her new role, Fairs says, “understanding and embracing what it means to live fully at all stages of life, even at the end-of-life, and expanding our cultural attitudes and acceptance around death as

a natural part of living, offer us the ability to meet the challenges of a rapidly aging world in entirely new ways. “As a newcomer to the Kootenays” she adds, “I’m looking forward to meeting and connecting with indi-viduals and organizations in every sector of the commu-nity and region.”

For more information on the Kalein Hospice Centre, please visit: www.kaleinhospice.org or call the Centre at 250-352-3331.

being challenged to partici-pate for one day on Tuesday, July 16 to eat for just $1.25.

nAKA is asking partici-pants to donate any excess spending of the $1.25 to nAKA who will use the funds to support program-

ming in Zambia. Since 2008 food prices have spiked with record highs in 2011. Due to droughts Africa has been hardest hit.

Outdoors Club finishes boat launch renovationsThe West Arm Outdoors

Club (WAOC) has finished re-decking the boat launch at Sunshine Bay on the West Arm of Kootenay Lake.

The project was partially completed last year and fin-ished in mid June through the collective efforts of club mem-bers. The work party finished the decking, re-anchored exte-rior floats and improved ramp access. All the lumber for the second phase of the proj-ect was donated by the local mill, Harrop-Procter Forest

Products (HPFP), which is part of the local community forest operations.

The boat launch is main-tained by the club and was donated to the Regional District of Central Kootenay as part of their Sunshine Bay Regional Park facilities.

The club is progress-ing with its next project, re-establishing a fishing wharf at the site of the for-mer Procter Wharf near the outlet to the main body of Kootenay Lake. Once com-

pleted, the fishing platform will be an integral part of the Outlet community.

The West Arm Outdoors Club meets most months on

Wednesday evenings , 7 p.m. at the Harrop Hall. All area residents are invited to join.

Latticework guard-rails

Your neighbour is probably cor-rect. If your deck is more than two feet above grade the rails cannot be climbable. Lattice is easy for a young child to climb and usually

quite weak. The whole railing system should be strong enough to withstand the weight of any adult falling against the guard-rail assembly. The rails should not be climbable, which usu-ally means vertical, with maximum four-inch spaces between rails. If you decide to get creative and you come

up with a “unique” design, do check with your local municipal or regional district building inspector to make sure the design meets Building Code requirements before you begin the project. You’ll find that the Building Code is very specific about the types of rails permitted.

I am building a deck and would like to buy and install in a guard-rail frame those prefabricated latticework panels I’ve seen in a building supply store. I’ve seen other decks like this but my neighbour says he thinks it’s not permitted. Please advise

Why do men have nipples?

I imag-ine that most of us know what pur-pose nipples serve in women; to secrete milk during lactation for infants. In men, however, despite the fact that their nipples are fully developed with a main milk duct, blood vessels and nerves, there is no absolutely no physiological function for nipples. In fact, although some have argued that prehistoric men may have suckled their infants, there are no mammalian species in which

male lactation occurs. So why do men have nipples? Some scientists think that men have nipples just because women do. Just like legs, arms and most other body parts, nipples are a part of the “standard equipment”. In other words, nipples are not what separates males and females. In fact, embryos, whether male or female, develop the same way for about the first six weeks, at which time male hormones begin to affect the develop-ment of male embryos. And it is during this time before sexual differentiation begins, that the development of nipples occurs. There is no arguing, however, that nipples are different in men and

in women. The milk ducts in male nipples do not produce milk because they need to be stimulated with a hormone only produced in females. Therefore, even though nipples are “standard equipment”, sex hormones specify their maleness or femaleness. This is similar to how the voice box, which all of us have, is affected by sex hormones to produce a low voice in men and a higher voice in women. Despite the fact that they serve no purpose, male nipples will probably not be lost because there is no obvious disadvantage to having them… kind of like earlobes actually (but that’s for another Dr. Science column!).

Fighting hunger through gardening educationThe nelson Food Cupboard is

growing solutions to hunger. The local nonprofit has launched a program that aims to address some of the root causes of food insecurity. The Food Skills Project is a skills training pro-gram targeted towards Food Cupboard customers and others who experience challenges accessing healthy food.

The workshop series will cover a wide range of topics related to grow-ing, preparing and preserving healthy

food. According to one workshop participant, “we all left feeling moti-vated and equipped to get into the garden.”

Coordinator Anna Kirkpatrick explains “We see this program as a small step towards a future where emergency food services are no longer needed.”

by Rory CaseLast Saturday, at the nelson

and District Community Complex, the West Kootenay Roller Derby smashed the track with back-to-back bouts. Hundreds of fans from all over the area came out to support the hard-hitting gals.

The first game was between our very own nelson Killjoys and the Salmo Babes of Brutality. Intensity was high from the get-go, but nelson took the early lead and pushed hard to keep it. The Babe’s took advantage of penalties and executed hits in every

opportunity to keep the Killjoys at bay on the scoreboard. The Babe’s didn’t bash enough though; the Killjoys came out strong in the sec-ond half and overpowered in points to attain the 282-93 victory.

up next was the Castlegar Dam City Rollers versus the Slocan Valley Vendettas for the second bout. The crowd was still fired up from the first match and both teams were looking to win. Evenly matched, the game remained with only a few points difference by half time. Determined to win their first

bout, the Dam City Rollers picked up the pace and passed the Vendettas in points. The Vendetta’s didn’t go down with out a fight; throwing big hits and creating crashes on course, keeping the fans on edge. The final whistle blew with a 238-161 win for the Castlegar.

Spinning vinyl and the future of musicOne great show passed, and another on the way!

Last Friday and Saturday the Spiritbar hosted two local DJ’s; Vinyl Richie and DJ Hoola Hoop. Both DJ’s spun vinyl records of great, classic dance jams, as well as mixing it up with some brand new tunes, from some hot artists right now. The good ol’funky beats got everyone out on the dance floor cuttin’ a rug. Their large selection of music shouted experienced; these guys were no rookies to the party scene. The place was packed both nights with lots of locals out celebrating weddings, birthdays, roller derby victories, and

college graduation! You can catch Vinyl Ritchie at Shambhala this year, as well as resident DJ Holla Hoop who also holds the reigns to the living room stage. next up at the Spirit bar is another Yan Zombie Thursday, this week with Kir Mokum of SHAHdjs. He’ll be bringing some jungle, drum n’bass, and footwork to the turntables. Opening with jungle styles for the night is the Philthkids. Show starts at 10 p.m. on Thursday, June 27 and it will be $7 before 11:30 p.m. and $10 afterwards. Come experience the future of music through the lines of bass! PHOTO BY RORY CASE

Elephant Mountain Literary Festival, scheduled for July 11 to 14, has named nelson Brewing Company’s newest addition, Tall Tale Organic Wheat Ale, official beer of the event.

“Story is the beginning of literature,” said Festival direc-tor Lynn Krauss. “And here in Western Canada, tall tales were the first stories people loved to pass along.”

Krauss pointed to the Ogopogo sea monster sup-posedly inhabiting Okanagan Lake, and the mythical side-hill gouger—Cariboo-coun-try range cattle with one leg shorter than the other, confin-ing the animals to a single

hill—as examples of B.C. tall tales.

Theme of the this year’s second annual literary festi-val is “Paths to the Page.” The opening gala will feature local poets, musicians, B.C. wines and nelson Brewing Company products. The event will be held at the Shanti Centre, the former Christian Science Church at 237 Baker St.

Reading on the evening of July 12 at the Hume Room of the Hume Hotel, 422 Vernon St., will be Giller Prize win-ner M.G. Vassanji, 2011 CBC Canada Reads winner novel-ist Terry Fallis, and Order of Canada and Order of B.C.

winner Howard White, pub-lisher, nonfiction author, and poet.

The following evening’s reading at the Hume Room features Trillium Award win-ner novelist Camilla Gibb, along with popular B.C. poet, fiction author and musician John Lent, and Quebec graph-ic novelist Pascal Girard.

The Elephant Mountain Literary Festival also includes credit courses in writing by B.C.’s Interior mountain col-leges, plus publishers Kirstin Cochrane of McClelland & Stewart Doubleday Canada and Tracy Hurren, managing editor of Montreal’s Drawn & Quarterly.

Various panels during the day on July 13, and an opportunity for Festival-goers to pitch their manuscript to a literary agent, round out the event.

Full details on the Festival, including how to reserve tick-ets and register for courses, are available on the Festival web-site, www.emlfestival.com. Festival sponsors, include the Canada Council for the Arts, nelson and District Credit union, Columbia Basin Trust, Kootenay Co-op, College of the Rockies and Selkirk College.

Visiting artists Bristol Diving School (BDS) will be participating in two upcom-ing public events. First up, to celebrate Canada Day in nelson, BDS will present Painting School at Lakeside Park. Taking inspiration from a long history of botanical

watercolour painting, BDS will invite the public to join in on creating postcard-sized studies of local plant speci-mens that will be used to ini-tiate an exchange economy within the Lakeside Park set-ting.

Friday, July 5 is the 25th

celebratory year of ArtWalk in nelson. For ArtWalk 2013, BDS will activate the Oxygen Art Centre gallery space with an installation of different works that manifest the under-taken tangents of research. This presentation is part of an ongoing body of work devel-

oped by BDS, which investi-gates methods of processing information and associative learning formats.

If we really want support in nelson as an arts com-m u n i t y , we have to

support nelson as a com-munity of artists. Artists are visionaries by definition and they are artists 24/7, not just when they are creating art. In fact I believe art is a side effect of being an artist.

So while we promote

the art to tourists, I think we should be promoting our artists. Supporting the art-ists mean supporting their friends as well. It’s time to publicly acknowledge nelson’s cultural diversity and the people that make it possible through our brochures in our efforts to draw people here. I believe people come to nelson to look at the artists and their friends. Lets acknowledge and embrace it.

Publisher’s note

Opinion&editorial

I have a large family and at times I

just don’t feel like speaking to them. It generally stems from being the anti-social type and the fact that they generally visit unannounced (at least to my knowledge). But what about people who just hurt you on a emotional scale because they can?

I’ve known people who have hurt me in the past and as much as they say it only makes your stronger, it feels like the opposite. How do you deal with them? Well first of all, sever your ties if possible depending on the relationship. no single

person is worth suffering for on a emotional plane. If it’s someone whom you are stuck with like a roommate or a family member you need to take care of, try to come to an understanding before jumping to conclu-sions. People generally act based on how they are or were treated, many of them treat others badly as they were treated badly them-selves.

Dealing with people can be hard sometimes. Your best bet is to either cut your ties or come to a reasonable understanding. Everybody hurts but they don’t have to.

“Buy local” means art, too!

Dear Editor,As each gene in the plant genome codes for the produc-

tion of a protein, you are being forced to put an unknown protein into your body. You are not allowed to know the identity of the foreign protein, or even if it exists! Isn’t this a personal assault by Monsanto on every person? With the connivance of our elected governments as well.

Commentary Action on KLH Emergency Room Issuesby Connected Communities for Health Coalition

In October 2012 our coalition started raising the issue of long wait times in the KLH emergency depart-ment. The problems were illustrated in April 2013 with a serious situation that could have resulted in the death of a patient. We finally met with the KLH administrator Cindy Crone, three months later, on January 23, 2013. The only commitment Ms. Crane made was to have sig-nage created so the triage nurse could easily distinguish emergency patients from other people waiting.

In June 2013, no signs are up. Ms. Crane told us she was holding the “17th version of the signs from the Kelowna contractor.”

On June 11 2013, Ingrid Hampf, Acute Area Director of Kootenay-Boundary, informed us the new $13.8 million KLH emergency

room had a “bad design”, more appropriate for a big city with more nurses. She sug-gested they would initiate a Toyota based “ lean study” to streamline the work process in the ER and would review the decision to integrate the emergency patients with those scheduling tests and visitors. We noted one improvement in the coordination between the ward clerk and the triage nurse, but it does not resolve our concerns.

The coalition will con-tinue to press for improve-ments and welcomes your input. For more informa-tion please contact:

Do you own any art by local artists?http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/local_art

In a week’s time, the Nelson & District Arts Council will be celebrating 25 years of ArtWalk, with the Grand Opening event on Friday, July 5th from 6-9 p.m. With 36 artists showing and selling their work in this exhibition, it feels like the perfect time

to ask if YOU support the arts in this community, and how?

Last week’s survey responses:

The Express Survey is not a scientific survey but is intended to promote discussion in our community.

The opinions presented on this page are the opinions of the author and do not represent the opinions of the publisher or staff of the Express News Update

TheSurvey

Are you satisfied with the available hours of the recycling bins at the transfer station?

The recycling is most inconvenient. Furthermore the electronic and paint recycling is at the bottle depot, a long way away from the transfer station and electronic recycling is not enforced!

The blue bag system is ridiculous, all those plastic bags are wasteful. I would prefer to be able to sort and drop off recyclables myself the way we did before.

Sunday hours would be a great help!

I am satisfied with the hours 10.5%

Hours of operation should be extended 26.3%

Recycling bins should be open 24/7 63.2%

SeemS like there are less places and less time to drop recycling. It looks like Nelson and other cit-ies in the region talk the recycling talk but can’t do the recycling walk. While not a bastion of brilliance, the RDCK has recycling depots that are open 24/7 throughout the area. How much effort does it take to make recycling possible for those who don’t fit within the narrow parameters you set for recycling. Nelson likes to put itself forward as open and progressive community. Between this and the huge fight over backyard chickens, I would argue it’s actually old and crusty.

IT works fine for us and together with curbside pick-up, I think it’s easy to recycle

I work long days not get-ting off of work until 6 pm at night, and I also work lots of weekends and it would be nice if the hours were longer at the Recycling Bins.

I feel we should be able to access the bins until 9:00pm in the evening. What are peo-ple who work until 5:30pm or 6:00pm going to do? Especially without a vehicle. Can they do EVERYTHING on a Saturday? I doubt it, and recycling would be at the end of the list.

IT makes absolutely no sense to me that the recy-cling depot should be locked up during evenings and weekends. Every other town or city I’ve been to has open recycling depots 24/7. What is the concern? Is someone going to steal my recycled tin cans?
