Take a “CHILI” dip in the lake on New Year’s DayKootenay Lake Hospital
Foundation welcomes all of Nelson’s swimmers and floaters, young and not so young, to take the plunge for health, personal pride, and appropriately, to raise money to enhance and sup-port surgical services at our local hospital.
The quick dip into Kootenay Lake starts at noon on January 1 at Lakeside Park, and will be preceded by hot choco-late and even hotter chili, which can be purchased by donation, at 11:30 a.m. While the Foundation gladly provides the warm
snack, in turn, they wel-come the environmental-ly conscious. Please feel free to bring your favorite washable bowl, mug, and spoon.
Pledge forms for the Polar Bear Dip can be found at the front desk of Kootenay Lake Hospital in
Nelson, as well as online at www.klhf.org. Donations will also be accepted at the hospital and at Lakeside Park during the event.
Start the New Year with a splash. Bring your sup-porters. Make them pay.

The Nelson Police Department had a total of sixty calls for service between Dec. 21 and 24.
On Saturday, Dec. 22 at 2:23 a.m., Nelson Police were requested to attend a residence in Uphill in regard to a noise complaint result-ing from a large private party. A primary resident of the home was issued with a verbal warning. However, approximately one hour later police were required to re-attend after noise lev-els continued to cause area residents to be disturbed.
While re-attending, officers on scene witnessed a vehicle lose control
attempting to negotiate a turn in deteriorating road conditions. The vehicle col-lided with a snow bank and came to rest partially in the yard of the residence in question. Police observed the driver attempt to free the vehicle before exiting and departing quickly on foot. The driver displayed symptoms of alcohol intox-ication and was arrested a short distance away. The driver was issued with a driving prohibition and fortunately did not sustain injury with only minor damage to the vehicle in question.
While Nelson Police
members were deal-ing simultaneously with both the above matters, an attendee of the party decided to throw snowballs at the responding officers striking two members on scene. The individual was identified and arrested for being intoxicated in a pub-lic place without further incident. The individual was released from police custody when sober and issued with a violation ticket for the offence.
The Nelson Police Department and the Integrated Road Safety Unit released the results of their third checkstop of the
season in the Nelson area conducted Wednesday, Dec 19. 470 vehicles were checked over the course of five hours at several loca-tions in Nelson.
There were three impaired by drug charg-es laid. Three 24 Hour roadside suspensions were issued. One driver was arrested for possession of drugs. Three violation tick-ets issued. Three warning tickets issued.
Nelson and area resi-dents are reminded to cel-ebrate safe and responsibly this holiday season.

RCMP continues investigation of November dog shootingNelson RCMPolice are
investigating a shooting that injured a dog in the 3500 block of Blewett Rd on November 22, 2012 at approximately 3:30 p.m. The owner of the dog heard a gunshot and a short time
later their dog came run-ning home from the power line direction with a gun-shot wound to it’s hind leg. After having the dog tended to by a local veterinarian it was determined the dog was shot by a .22 caliber firearm.
To date there have been no further leads or informa-tion pertaining to this inci-dent. Police are concerned that some one may have been shooting at the dog for no reason and are ask-ing the public’s assistance
for any information regard-ing this incident. Please call Cst Long at Nelson RCMPolice (250)352-2156 or CrimeStoppers.

Mediation program approved by Nelson Police BoardNelson Good Neighbour
free neighbourhood medi-ation program is now approved for referrals from Police and By-Laws servic-es. Approval was granted by the police advisory board late this year after examin-ing the curriculum, training and protocols in place.
The program was initi-ated by Transition Nelson Society and developed in partnership with the Mir Centre for Peace of Selkirk
College.The Program has been available to citizens of Nelson since the end of last summer and provided for free by a team of 12 volun-teer mediators.
The principle of media-tion does not implicate determining right and wrong, nor a winner and loser. Spokesperson Andre Piver explains: “Mediators are entirely neutral and help disputants to understand and feel understood as well
as to arrive at an agreement only if it is mutually accept-able. There is no giving up of individual sovereignty.”
The program is current-ly developing more aware-ness-raising capacity to allay the misperception that mediation involves giving up one’s rights. Partnership is being explored with one of Nelson’s dynamic service clubs and referral from vari-ous social agencies is being organized. The direct and
practical benefits of neigh-bours being able to commu-nicate and collaborate still clearly exist; whether it be about a cup of sugar or let-ting the plumber in while you are away.
More information may be found at: http://www.transitionnelson.org Access to free mediation is available by calling: 250-551-0262

This Every person on this planet has a different level of tolerance to airborne contaminants like moulds, dust particles and air pol-lutants.
Since some of your family are particularly sen-sitive to these contaminates you should be focusing on eliminating as many sources of air pollution as possible. For instance, although high humidity in a building is not an air contaminant in and of itself, high humidity does provide the ideal conditions for moulds, harmful bac-teria and a corresponding increased risk that your chil-dren will develop allergies
Our two children have asthma and chronic bronchitis. I’m sure the air quality in our home has something to do with their breathing problems, but I’m not sure where to begin improv-ing the situation. Is air quality really a source of their problem, and if so, where do we start making changes? Home Front by Bill Lynch,
Paul Muntak & Steve Cannonto air borne pollutants.
Therefore, in my opinion, the first step toward improv-ing your home’s indoor air quality is to lower humid-ity levels. Most sources of high humidity originate out-side the building envelope from uncontrolled roof and surface water that migrates through foundation walls and saturates your indoor air. Controlling these water sources can be complex and site specific. Often, it requires the advice of a certi-fied air quality technician to help find the specific solu-tions to your unique environ-ment.
Once humidity is con-trolled, cleaning your indoor
air should be your next pri-ority. The most common sources of indoor air pol-lution are pets, unattended household cleanups, chemi-cal emissions (off-gassing) from building materials, fresh paints, household fur-nishings and dust particles entering through open win-dows and doors.
Let’s not overlook the unvented nitrous oxides from residential gas cook stoves either. Also, consider pur-chasing a Hepivac filtered vacuum cleaner to ensure better entrapment of indoor air pollutants.
Finally, I recommend that you consider installing the best heat recovery ven-
tilation (HRV) system your budget can afford. There is no better mechanical system for increasing your indoor air quality.
You will be impressed with the immediate and obvious improvement in your home’s air quality. If you cannot find a convenient way to install the HRV duct system, there are models that will adapt to your existing forced air furnace ductwork. A good quality HRV will clean your indoor air, help reduce humidity and “scrub” the old exhaust air of heat before dumping it outside your building envelope. All you are required to do is keep your HRV air filter clean.

What causes bad breath?
The most common cause of bad breath is the presence of bacteria in the mouth. Our mouth is a perfect growing ground for all sorts of odour-produc-ing bacteria. These bacte-ria thrive on the warm and moist environment of the mouth and feast on food stuck between teeth. The problem with these bac-teria is that they release volatile compounds that
stink; these include sulfur compounds such as hydro-gen sulfite (rotten egg smell) and methyl mercap-tan (skunk oil smell).
Good oral hygiene helps to prevent the accu-mulation of food and bac-teria in the mouth. Despite a daily routine of brushing and flossing, many people notice that their breath is particularly pungent in the morning. This “morning breath” is due to the fact that we produce less saliva in our sleep. Saliva is an important mouth cleaner; the moisture cleans the
mouth, dilutes bacterial sulfur by-products and has antibacterial activity. This is why people with chron-ic dry mouth, a condition called xerostomia, often have chronic bad breath. Xerostomia is a common side-effect of many drugs, but also a side-effect of aging.
As we age, our body makes less saliva and “morning breath” becomes all day breath. Eating pun-gent foods, such as garlic and onions, can also cause temporary bad breath. The digestion of these foods
releases volatile molecules that are absorbed in the bloodstream, circulated in the body and released in the lungs, such that each exhala-tion contains some of these foul smelling molecules.
Other conditions, such as sinusitis, gum disease and other medical condi-tions including diabetes, kidney and liver disorders can also cause bad breath. If your family members are ducking away from your kisses in the morning AND in the evening, it might be worth visiting a dentist or a doctor!

Taika Waititi plays an absent father who has to grow up with his two sons in BOY
Arts&EntertainmentFLIKS opens its new film series with New Zealand’s BOYMonday, Jan. 9, 7:30 p.m. at the Capitol Theatre 421 Victoria Street
Movies are back in Nelson January 9th with BOY, the first of FLIKS six-film series of films at the Capitol Theatre Wednesday nights
Opening the series is the New Zealand smash hit BOY on January 9, followed by CHASING ICE on January 23, and Deepa Mehta’s new film MIDNIGHTS CHILDREN plus a few more surprises are in the six-film series.
BOY takes place in 1984, where a New Zealand boy named Boy, lives with his gran, a goat, and a brother with ‘special powers’. Boy imagines his absent father is a hero, but when Dad returns to dig up some bur-ied money, all three ‘boys’ have to grow up together and learn to reconcile fan-tasy with reality. Directed (and acted) by Oscar nomi-nated Taika Waititi (Eagle vs Shark) this is a multi award-winning, charming, funny, and earnest com-ing of age story. Rated PG, BOY screens Wednesday January 9, at 7:30 pm.
CHASING ICE screens January 23. This is an important and stunningly beautiful documentary that proves the earth’s climate is changing. Acclaimed National Geographic pho-tographer James Balog cap-tured a multi year record of the world’s changing glaciers with these time-lapsed images from across the brutal Arctic . This multi-award winning film has to be seen on the big screen! It just wont work on your i-phone!
And then Feb 8-9 the Canadian FLIKS Festival features Velcrow Ripper’s long awaited new film OCCUPY LOVE. Also screening is the wacky documentary LUNARCY, THE FRUIT HUNTERS (from the makers of “Up The Yangtze” ), Sarah Polly’s new film STORIES WE TELL, and Michael McGowan’s dramatic com-edy STILL, plus a few more surprises.

I have d i s c o v -ered that m a k i n g New Years r e s o l u -
tions is very powerful. Writing them down is even more powerful, and sharing them with
the whole world is scary. But here I go anyways: I resolve in the year 2013, to continue to replace my bad addictions with good addictions. I realize that while perfection can never be reached, striv-ing for perfection can happen instantaneously.
Spencer Pollard is an young man living in Nelson BC with an interest in digital arts and writing. His ideas are of benefit to all of Nelson, and to stroke his abnormally large ego
Onwards to 2013!by Spencer PollardMy Opinion
With a new year comes new challenges.
It’s tradition to set yourself a goal to achieve within the new year, it can be some-thing small or something on a large scale, but achieving it can be hard which is why you need to stay committed
What will you set for yourself? A good idea I gen-erally implement is to set a small easily achievable goal and to gradually improve upon it as the year progress-es. An example could be that you want to lose 5 pounds, when you achieve that go for
10 pounds and so on until your satisfied. You could also limit what you achieve so that way regardless of how motivated you are to accom-plish your goal you will still succeed even with a minor amount of effort. Try writ-ing them out as well, having something physical to hang on to always helps me out and helps my resolve.
With a new year comes new opportunities for improvement. Don’t pass any opportunity to improve yourself and your quality of life. I hope you all make meaningful goals for the new year
