Residents and patients at Victorian Community Health Centre will benefit from signifi-cant improvements to the Kaslo facility thanks to a $500,000 donation from the estate of long-time resident Mabel Manning.
The donated funds will be used for:
A new nurse call system that will allow for better communica-tions between staff in all areas of the health centre
A refurbished tub room with new equipment for residential care and community clients who
have special bathing needsNew entrances for the emer-
gency and primary care areas with modern door systems, ves-tibules and security features
A secure door to the emer-gency trauma bay that will improve privacy and security for patients, physicians and staff
A new permanent suction system in the emergency depart-ment, replacing an aging por-table unit
“Mabel wanted to help ensure the continuation of the long history of high quality med-

ical services in Kaslo and area”, said Thomas Humphries, execu-tor of Manning’s estate and long-time Kaslo resident. “With her significant donation, I think she has met her goal. Although she never sought recognition, she would be proud of the improve-ments that will be made with her generous gift.”
Any remaining funds will be used for additional improve-ments to the primary care area of the health centre.
Victorian Community Health Centre of Kaslo Ladies
Auxiliary also contributed $30,000 to the nurse call sys-tem.
Mabel Manning and her husband Don spent many happy years in Kaslo. Manning had always wanted to be a nurse, and although that never came to pass, she was a long time sup-porter of the Kaslo Women’s Hospital Auxiliary. She also devoted many hours to the Kaslo and Area Library and other com-munity activities.

The first stage of recovery operations at the site of the Johnsons Landing slide has now concluded with the recovery of two victims.
The BC Coroners Service, in con-junction with its partners in the operation, will now re-assess the reasonable likeli-hood of finding more victims along with the potential risks to searchers before deciding if, and how, to proceed further, said Chief Coroner Lisa Lapointe.
Two persons are believed to still be deceased somewhere in the huge slide.
“Until you actually see it, it’s impos-sible to imagine the immensity of the slide area,” said Lapointe, who has been at the site since July 15. She noted that recovery efforts were concentrated in the area where it was believed the victims were most likely to be found. Despite extensive work with earth-moving equip-ment, the other two victims have not been
located. Lapointe expressed thanks to the
many partners who have joined in the recovery efforts: Kaslo Search and Rescue, Canada Task Force One (the urban heavy search and rescue team), the wildfire management branch, Emergency Management BC, RCMP officers from Nelson and Kaslo, and all of those staff-ing the Command Centre at Kaslo.
“Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family and friends of the deceased as well as to the entire community that has suffered such devastation,” she said.
She stressed that the slide area remains unstable and dangerous. The ongoing risk to searchers is one aspect that will have to be considered in depth before deciding whether to continue with efforts to find the two remaining victims.
A decision on next steps will be taken within the next few days.

No swimming advisoryThe Regional District Central Kootenay (RDCK) has issued
a SWIM ADVISORY for recreational users of Taghum Beach. In keeping with Health Canada’s Guidelines for Canadian Recreational Water Quality (GCRWQ) and Interior Health Authority Beach Water Quality Notification Campaign, the RDCK has posted signage at Taghum Beach to notify the public of poor beach water quality. Warning signs will remain posted until sample results are once again within acceptable limits.
The RDCK and Interior Health recommend that the public refrain from swimming at Taghum Beach until the beach water qual-ity improves. If you have any questions please contact the RDCK at 250-352-6665 or check out our website at www.rdck.bc.ca

Volunteers help to construct Cascadia Green Building Council’s natural building project, a public washroom in Art Gibbon’s Park in Rosemont in partner-ship with the City of Nelson. An earthen plaster workshop will be held July 28/29 to finish these walls. Contact [email protected] for more information.
The Hendryx Street Forest Garden and Cottonwood Herbal Demonstration Garden are pub-lic green spaces in Nelson that have been peaceful sanctuaries and sources of free food to the commu-nity for over 10 years. The gardens were created through a partner-ship with the City of Nelson, and are maintained by dedicated vol-unteers, as well as Cali Olleck, the Community Garden Coordinator of Nelson CARES Society.
Established in 1998, the Hendryx Street Forest Garden is undergoing some major changes this year. A generous grant from Columbia Basin Trust has allowed for the purchase of some more plants and a picnic table. There are plans for the construction of a stone wall and some new signage which will be completed by the end of the
summer. Cali is looking for more volunteers to help out with getting the garden back into its “cared-for” state.
The Garden Patch Club is another way to get involved in your community gardens this sum-mer. The club is open to all, and meets at the Cottonwood Herbal Demonstration Garden every Thursday from 2-4pm and Saturday from 9-11am. This is a great oppor-tunity to garden if space is limited at home, contribute to the beauty of a public space, meet new people, and share the harvest!
If you are interested in volun-teering in the gardens this summer, please contact Cali by email at [email protected] or by phone at 250-352-6011 ext. 17.

Fundraiser for Johnson’s Landing being organized
Nelson theatre artists Richard Rowberry and Jane Sinclair are organizing a fundraiser for the survivors of the Johnsons Landing landslide.
“A while ago I was asked by the city to organize performances in the courtyard at City Hall this summer and it occurs to me that it would have greater value as an oppor-tunity for the Nelson arts community to sup-port our neighbours,” Rowberry explained.
We are looking at Sunday, July 29th from noon to 8 (or beyond) with musicians, sto-rytellers, speakers, poets providing a focus for the people of Nelson to come down and donate. We are hoping to have crafts people and other vendors involved too and to possi-bly arrange a silent auction with donations.”
There will be two performance areas with sound support provided by Hairy Productions and The Royal. Proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross.
Rowberry and Sinclair are asking local artists to step forward and contrib-ute to the cause. They ask anyone inter-ested to contact Richard at 250-505-6900 or [email protected]
The School Works Program pilot, which began its successful run in February, is being offered again this fall to Basin-based businesses and organizations.
School Works provides an $8/hour wage subsidy to encourage small businesses and non-profit, First Nation and public sector organizations in the Basin to provide part-time employment for full-time high school and post-second-ary students in the Basin dur-ing the school year.
“CBT is pleased to be able to continue the School Works Program this fall,” said Sabrina Curtis, CBT Director, Planning and Development. “We are providing $600,000 toward wage subsidies for Basin orga-nizations to increase the avail-ability of jobs for students.”
College of the Rockies delivered the pilot and will continue to work in partnership with CBT to administer the program this fall.
“We are excited to con-
tinue collaborating with CBT after a very successful first run. The School Works Program has had such a positive impact on businesses throughout the Columbia Basin; we are thrilled to be a part of it,” Tracey Whiting, Manager of Contract Training and Business Development at College of the Rockies.
From January to June, 64 businesses throughout the Basin hired students part-time with the support of the School Works Program.
The fall application intake for the School Works Program will begin on a first-come first-served basis on August 14. Check www.cbt.org/school-works for more information.
CBT supports efforts to deliver social, economic and environmental benefits to the residents of the Columbia Basin. To learn more about CBT programs and initia-tives, visit www.cbt.org or call 1.800.505.8998.

Columbia Basin Trust (CBT) has set aside $530,000 to support communities applying for the federal government’s Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF).
On July 5, the federal government launched CIIF, a new program that will invest $150 million across Canada, with $46 million dedicated to Western Canada, over the next two years. CIIF focuses on rehabilitating and improv-ing existing community infra-structure that is non-commer-
cial and accessible to the pub-lic, such as community cen-tres, cultural centres, parks, libraries, recreational facilities and tourism facilities, as well as other existing community infrastructure assets which have a local community impact such as connectivity and broadband and local air-ports.
Applicants, includ-ing local governments, First Nations and non-profits, must leverage at least 50 per cent of the total eligible project costs through funding from sources
other than the federal govern-ment, and projects requesting less than $250,000 will be given priority.
CBT will make a maxi-mum overall commitment of $500,000 and support any successful application to a maximum of $50,000 per project (up to 50 per cent of the communities’ required portion). Project selection will be based on the CIIF crite-ria and CBT’s support will be conditional until approval from CIIF is confirmed.
CBT will also assist
applicants in submitting their CIIF applications to meet the August 2, 2012 deadline by making funds available (max-imum of $2500/application) for communities to hire some-one to assist in compiling the required information for sub-mission to CIIF. A maximum of $30,000 has been commit-ted for this form of support.
For more information about CBT funding and sup-port, call 1.800.505.8998 to be connected with a Community Liaison.

1,750 kids went on Wildsight’s Classroom With Outdoors trips this spring
“Wildsight’s 10 educa-tors just delivered 70 programs to approximately 1,750 kids across the Columbia Basin,” said Monica Nissen, Wildsight’s Education in the Wild manager. “The trips offer experiential, science-based learning about ecology and help kids connect with wild natural places in the region.”
Nissen says Classroom With Outdoors brings science
learning to life. Wildsight offers the field trips through May and June.
“We’re so pleased to sup-port kids in our communities to get outside during the last weeks of school to learn valu-able lessons in a hands-on, experiential way,” Nissen said. “We acknowledge the sponsors who helped us to make this hap-pen, and encourage parents to create opportunities for nature play and discovery throughout the summer months.”

CommunityNewsA new report released June
26 2012, reveals some staggering statistics on poverty in Nelson. The 4th Annual Report Card on Homelessness for Nelson BC documents the following for our community:
Vulnerable & At Risk Populations:
· 75% of female and 53% of male emergency shelter users had a diagnosed
· mental health condition. It is further estimated that more individuals go undiagnosed.
· 78% of local youth sur-veyed with experiences of home-lessness reported being impacted by experiences of abuse or vio-lence.
· “A stay at the Daly (psy-chiatric unit) estimated at $3000 a day. Supported housing $85 per day” Randy Theissen
Team Leader Mental Health & Substance Use, on the effective-ness and economic advantages of housing plus supports for individuals with chronic mental health conditions.
“Homelessness is an invisi-ble issue in Nelson. Our research shows that homelessness has many faces and many stories within our community. It is a misconception that homeless-ness in Nelson can be attrib-uted to a transient population or locals making a lifestyle choice; statistics and front line services speak to a completely differ-ent reality”, comments Katie Tabor, Community Coordinator with the Nelson Committee on Homelessness.

Change for the betterDo you have extra coins
collecting dust at the back of a cupboard or closet? The Nelson Food Cupboard encourages the community to put their spare change to good use this summer. The Food Cupboard’s volun-teers will roll and count any coins donated. All funds collected will be used to support this vital commu-nity organization.
The Nelson Food Cupboard operates a barri-er-free food bank and works to address the root causes of food insecurity. Last month the Food Cupboard received more than 1,200 visits. Food Cupboard customers come from all walks of life and include families with young children, seniors and people with disabilities. A recent survey indicates that the vast majority of custom-ers are long time residents of the Nelson area.
Local resident Poul Henriksen recently donated close to forty pounds of coins. Henriksen’s donation totaled more than $450. Food Cupboard Coordinator Anna Kirkpatrick gratefully accepted the donation and encourages other commu-nity members to follow suit. “Small change adds up. Every donation is a big help,” says Kirkpatrick. Coins can be dropped at the Nelson Food Cupboard during open hours, Monday and Wednesday 9:00am-1:00pm. The Food Cupboard is located at 602 Silica St in the basement of the Nelson United Church. To arrange a drop off out-side of open hours please call 250-354-1633 or email [email protected].

Huge FLOWERS go to the Harrop and Balfour First Responders and to the Nelson Ambulance crew who not once, but twice, withinthe space of two weeks, were summoned to my home to help a visitor. Thank you so much for your expert help and comfort. It is wonderfully reassuring to know what great people you are and that if I ever need you personally, you’ll be there for me too.
Signed: Grateful
Flowers to the hundreds of res-cue workers in Johnsons’s Landing. Flowers to the people of the com-muntiy of Johnson’s Landing. Flowers to the families, friends and neighbours of the homes and people effected. Flowers to all of Nelson for their com-passionate hearts.
Signed: Beauty is Everywhere
The tragedy in Johnson’s Landing last week has affected many people in our com-munity. In my own heart, I cry for the pain and suffering that those who lost their lives must have felt. I cry their family, friends, neighbours. It seems that everyone in the West Kootenay is affected by the events that took place.
I see we have empathy for our neighbours
- we may not know them personally, but we care about them.
In the coming weeks and months, the gov-ernment and others will examine reasons why the slide happened and if anything could have been done to give forewarning. This is also a good opportunity for us in our community to process this tragedy and to help our neigh-bours, families and friends grow closer.
I have seen many baby snails and I am won-dering whether baby snails are born with shells or do they have to go find them?
dr. scienceChristine Humphries
Are snails born with their shells?
Snails belong to the group of gas-tropods in the mollusc phylum. Most gastropods, such as snails, have a spiral-shaped shell. A snail’s shell is a complex multi-layered structure. Unlike a turtle shell, which is part of its endoskeleton and has blood vessels, cells and nerves, the snail’s shell is part of its exoskel-eton. It has very little protein and no cells. Rather, it is largely made up of a mineral, calcium carbonate, and a very small amount (less than 2%) of protein. The function of the protein in the shell is to provide a structural matrix for the calcium carbonate; this gives the shell its shape and hardness. The shell is often covered on the outside with a thin protein layer called the periostracum. The perio-stracum is the part of the shell that gives it its colour.
A snail is born with a shell which is attached via a layer of tissue called
the mantle. Although some animals replace their shells with bigger shells as they grow, such as the hermit crab, the snail keeps its shell during its whole life. Therefore, as it grows, its shell must expand too. The growth of the shell depends on the mantle which enlarges the shell by secreting proteins and miner-als which are added to the existing shell. The newest part of the shell, the part to which the new proteins and minerals are added, is near the opening of the shell and, as the shell grows, it spirals in a clockwise direction (yes, even in the Southern hemisphere!) such that the oldest part of the shell, the part it was born with can be found in the middle of the spiral. A snail’s shell does not continue to expand indefinitely, once the snail begins to reproduce, the shell stops growing and a lip appears at the opening of the shell.

Last week’s survey responses:
86% of our responses say yes to recreating the floating stage, while 14% say no.Do you think Nelson should recreate it’s floating stage?
WHAT a great idea!I remember the old one and it
was fun. Bring it back!IT would bring great bands to
nelson,I’d go,what fun!OR a band shell on land but
let’s encourage outdoor music.BEST suggestion I’ve heard
in a long time. Just make it out of cedar or protect it from the ele-ments from quick distintegra-tion
WHY not? We live on a beau-tiful lake and need to showcase that “front - centre and stage”.
WE’RE concerned about the usage which may result in world class music or other festivals that would use amplified sound; because we live close enough that the noise level could disturb our sleep.
WE weren’t aware that there was once a floating stage here. That’s a fabulous idea!!
LETS forget about floating stages and focus on things that are alreafy in motion. The theatre and Skatepark are still in development.
MAYBE a floating stage might not best, but an out-door arena or amphitheatre with free concerts (mixed with others) would be a huge community addition.
WITHOUT a movie the-atre in town, and not enough outdoor films, this would be something wonderful and unique back to Nelson. Just think of how popular it is at the Kaslo Jazz Fest - locals & tourists will seek it out!!

I think this is a brilliant idea! Perhaps some of our local per-formers could offer proceeds from concerts to start the fund raising.
IF the weather was too unpredictable in the past, it will be unpredictable in the future. Besides, people along the lake might rather enjoy peace and quiet, than someone else’s taste of musc.
I think it is a pretty good idea minus it being used for paying events. The Express seems to be anti-leasing out public space, how would this be any differ-ent?
HA ha. I had no idea about this. I think that is also real-ly neat that the money for the whole thing was raised by the community. So who is going to start this thing... The Express News Update?

What’sHappeningKokanee Creek Park Hosts Ecology Camps for Kids
Curious, inquisitive, adventurous kids will have a chance to become nature detectives this summer, as they explore the forests, thickets and grasslands of Kokanee Creek Provincial Park. Through two, week-long day camps, one in July and one in August, kids aged 9-12 will learn the lore of local plants, discover the micro-world of bugs, and learn to identify birds, animal tracks, and trees. Full of games, field science, nature stories and crafts, each day promises to be an exciting opportu-nity for ecology learning by doing. Day camps run from 9:00-4:00 each day, and kids can be registered for one day or all week. Dates are July 23-27 and August 27-31. To register, contact Monica Nissen at (250) 352-6346 or [email protected]. Registration deadlines: July 19 and August 17, Cost: $40/day or $150 for the week.
