Nelson Hospice offers grief support group
Thursday, Jan. 24, 12-2 p.m. Multipurpose Room, 333 Victoria St., Second Floor, Nelson, BC
Hosted by trained
Nelson Hospice volunteers,
Grief Support Group topics
will include: the needs of
a mourner; why grieving
is different for everyone;
common myths about the
grieving process; resources
and tools for finding hope
and healing our hearts.
There will be time for group
discussion and sharing, as
well as a exploration using
art therapy, journaling,
walking and meditation.
Preregistration is required
for this group.
After the death of someone dear, people often experience a period of time of
intense grieving. As a society, we associate sadness
as a common response to
death, but there are many
other emotions. People
might also experience feelings of loss (what do I do
without that person?), helplessness (where do I turn?),
confusion (why did this
happen?), anger (unfinished
relations), uncertainty (new
roles and expectations),
anxiety (am I going crazy?),
and/or happiness (loved one
is now at rest after a pro-
longed illness). The Grief
Support Group offers a safe
and supported environment
to share these normal feelings of loss.

Comforting massage for slide victims
by Robin Murray
On Dec. 22, 2012 a
group of eight massage volunteers, ranging in age from
14 to 81, visited Johnsons
Landing to share comforting massages with the survivors of the July mudslide.
The mudslide claimed the
lives of several members of
this tiny community at the
end of Kootenay Lake and
left many more homeless or
without safe drinking water
and sanitation.
To bring some Christmas
cheer to this still suffering
community, the massage
team delivered a gift bag
for each participant receiving massages in the village containing gifts from
local Nelson merchants
and homemade cookies.
Jim Mainland, a piper from
Meadow Creek played

people of all groups and

Forestry conversation heats up at Conversation Café
Saturday, Jan. 19, 7 p.m at John Ward Fine Coffee at 503 Baker St.
For some Kootenay residents, forestry represents
an important boost to our
region’s economy. For others, forestry brings to mind
habitat loss and watershed
contamination. Is it possible
to have healthy forests and
a sustainable forestry industry?
That’s the question on
the table at West Kootenay
EcoSociety’s event. The
second Conversation Café
in a series of seven will
ask local forestry and environmental experts to weigh
in on how forestry practices have changed over the
years, and to look at some
new models of forestry.
Guests include Greg
Utzig, who has developed
a model for how climate
change will affect our forests, and Rachel Holt, a
member of the BC Forest
Practices Board. Joern
Wingender will explain the
Harrop-Procter Community
forest model, and Jesper
Neilsen of Selkirk College
will help us understand how
the forestry system works.
Herb Hammond of the Silva
Forest Foundation will also
discuss his groundbreaking work on the services
that healthy forests provide.
After brief discussions with
the guests, the audience will
be invited to join the conversation.
The conversation starts
at 7, p.m. with limited seating. Coffee and snacks will
be available for sale, and a
$2 donation is requested.

On Friday Jan. 11 at
3:50 a.m. Nelson Police
members were conducting
post bar closing patrols
in the downtown core. A
male and a female were
seen loitering near a running vehicle that was
parked outside one of the
bars. Members approached
and spoke with both and
determined they had been
consuming liquor that evening and were likely not
capable of safely operating motor vehicle.
It was also discovered
that the car was registered
to the 34 year old male
and the members let them
know it would be a good
choice to not drive the car
home. The male agreed.
Members continued their
patrols and a short time
later the vehicle was gone.
A quick drive to the owners address found him trying to park it as members
pulled up. He blew a fail

device and faces sanctions
under the Motor vehicle

Tickle tickle tickle, I’m going to get you!
dr. science
Christine Humphries
Are you ticklish? To
most people, the sensation of being tickled is
both positive and negative; they smile and laugh
but also show signs of
distress such as defensive
and withdrawal movements. For example, my
two-year old giggles and
smiles when tickled but
also yells “no!” and tries
to wiggle away. Is she
enjoying it or not?
There are two types of
tickling, the light featherlike tickling, called knismesis and the heavy laughinducing tickling called
gargalesis. Knismesis is
a widespread response in
mammals and probably
originated as an important
survival response for reacting to creepy crawly bugs
on skin. Gargalesis however is less widespread a
response and seems to be
limited to primates.
Although we can feel
knismesis if we lightly
touch our own skin, we
cannot give ourselves
a
Difficulty
heavy tickle. Some scientist believe that, like
Sudoku Classic
the startle response, gargalesis is a simple reflex
that requires unanticipated
stimulation. One study
showed that if the brain
is sending a self-tickle
command, there is less
activation of brain signals
than when someone else is
tickling. In essence, the
brain can somehow cancel
the tickling sensation if it
has prior knowledge of the
action.
So why do we laugh
when tickled by others? The neural pathways
involved
in tickling

include touch and pain
sensors which may acti-
vate the part of the brain
that elicits the fight or flee
response. However it is
unclear why this response
also involves laughing and
smiling. Some scientists
have suggested that the
evolutionary function of
tickling may have been
to promote play-fighting
to improve combat skills.
The laughter and smiling would encourage the
tickler to continue tickling
while the discomfort of
tickling would encourage
the ticklee to learn how to

Amnesty International in Nelson
is hosting their annual film festival. According to local activist Anna
Purcell, “These films are really interesting and inspiring without being too
disheartening. For example, the film
Umoja: No Men Allowed follows a
group of Kenyan women who turn
patriarchy on its head by starting their
own village - with no men allowed.
You will laugh and cheer with these
women, even with the serious social
critique.”
Audiences can watch Umoja at
the Friday night showing along with
the film On The Line, which follows
two men on a fact finding mission
as they bike, hike, kayak and raft
the beautiful route of the proposed
Northern Gateway pipeline. On the
Saturday afternoon will be Big Boys
go Bananas, a film that looks at the
incredible lengths to which big corporations will go to protect their brand.
Saturday night’s film is Ai Weiwei:
Never Sorry about an internationally
famous artist of the digital age who
has been called China’s Andy Warhol.
He blurs the line between art and politics in his highly entertaining fight for
free speech. Also showing Saturday
night is Grace, about a little girl’s
struggle to get to school.
Tickets are available at Otter
Books in Nelson at the price of $10
per showing or all three shows for
$25. There is another chance to see

12 Angry Men famously tells the story of twelve
jurors deliberating over the
outcome of a trial. While
eleven of the jurors are convinced that the defendant
is guilty, one juror is not in
agreement. The play centers
around this juror’s attempts
to sway the deeply held
prejudices and intractable
personalities of his fellow
jurors. Raising questions of
the nature of justice and the
reliability of human judgement, 12 Angry Men is a
timeless classic that continues to resonate today.
“The series has been
so successful that we have
definite plans to carry it
on”, says Richard Rowberry

by Spencer Pollard
The True Cause of Violence
There really is no main
central cause
of violence today. If anything it’s really the glorification of it in the media.
The media finds it far more
interesting to report violent
crimes then human interest
stories and it’s never something I understood.
The world isn’t really
as scary a place as the
media may make you
believe, it seems almost
every day the news shows
mostly nothing but violent crimes and shootings.
Why do they do this? Well
to keep an audience of
course, there’s an audience
who enjoys watching those
type of stories whether they
enjoy them or they just feel
sorry for those involved.
Violence has always
been a problem and it’s
up to us to fix it, there
really isn’t a simple
answer just avoid violent
tendencies whenever you
can. I highly doubt anyone reading this will commit some sort of crime of
that nature, but the way
the world is , violence
stems from anything.
Violence is a substantial
part of human history
and it won’t change any
time soon but having the
foresight to know what
your doing could prevent
something serious.

Life expectancy of a cedar shake roof
Home Front
We recently purchased a 30-year-old house with a cedar shake roof. We are
trying to determine if we should budget to replace the roofing or not because
we’ve heard a lot of conflicting estimates on the life expectancy of cedar
shakes. What would you advise?
by Bill Lynch,
Paul Muntak & Steve Cannon cedar its reputation for lon-
Unfortunately, the average life expectancy and
predicted complete failure
of cedar shakes is difficult
to determine even with a
visual inspection for signs
of deterioration. However,
here are a few theoretical
factors to be considered
when estimating the life
expectancy of your cedar
shake roof. Cedar is rich in
oil content. This oil gives
gevity in wet environments.
Old growth cedar usually has
higher concentrations of oil
than second and third growth
cedar. Therefore, shakes split
from old growth wood often
have significantly longer life
expectancy than shakes from
new growth wood.
Traditionally,
folks
expected that old growth
cedar shakes would protect
them from the elements for
50 to 70 years. This oil-rich
attribute, combined with their
rustic weathered appearance
has long been their appeal
to many builders and home
owners. For second growth
cedar shakes, their life
expectancy can be less than
half that of the original old
growth materials.
Determining if you have
old or new growth cedar
shakes can be tricky. A general rule of thumb is there is
not much old growth cedar to
be purchased today. So, it is
likely that newer cedar shake
roofs have less life expectancy. However, there may
be old growth cedar shakes
mixed into the bundles that
were installed on your roof.
So, it is fair to say that individual cedar shakes on your
roof will likely age and fail
at significantly different rates
depending on the oil content
of each unique shake. If your
roof is more than 15 years
old, expect occasional spot
repairs to keep it watertight.
