Teck is working with communities, First Nations and governments to create an Elk Valley Water Quality Plan that will maintain the health of the watershed and support continued, sustainable mining in the Elk Valley.

We Want to Hear From You

The objective of the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan is to address water quality concerns associated with mining activity in the watershed, including selenium. The process to develop the plan includes several public consultation periods, the first of which took place in fall 2013. The second consultation period will take place from April 9–30, 2014.

During the public consultation period, Teck is asking for your feedback on the work being done to develop the Elk Valley Water Quality Plan. Your input will be considered in the development of the Plan.

Consultation materials, including an online feedback form, will be available at www.teck.com/ElkValley on April 9.

A comprehensive public engagement process on converting some volume-based forest licences to new or expanded area-based tree farm licences will take place over the next two months, For-ests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thom-son announced today.

“We’re only inter-ested in pursuing con-versions in areas where there is support - and we’re proposing that any requests for con-version to be consid-ered on a case-by-case basis. I look forward to the public feedback on the process we’re contemplating,” said Thomson.

People are invited to participate in a public discussion on the ex-pansion of area-based forest management un-til noon May 30, 2014, at: http://engage.gov.bc.ca/foresttenures

This site has refer-ence material, ques-tions and answers, a discussion paper and an interactive blog where a conversation will oc-cur online.

“Given the pressures facing the timber sup-ply in B.C.’s Interior and the impact on com-munities and forest li-censees, it’s important to hear from as many stakeholders and mem-bers of the public as possible before con-sidering changes that would increase area-based forest tenures,” said Consultation lead-er Jim Snetsinger.

To keep the engage-ment open and neutral, an independent facili-tator has been hired. The public engagement process will be led by veteran professional forester Jim Snetsinger, who will compile the feedback and provide a report to government by the end of June. Snetsinger, a former provincial chief forest-er, will also travel to at least 10 different B.C. communities to meet with stakeholders, First Nations, local govern-ments and members of the public who express interest in contributing to the discussion.

The meetings will focus on the potential benefits that propo-

nents seeking conver-sions may be able to provide, the criteria for evaluating applica-tions, and the process for implementing con-versions.

Conversions are not being considered on a provincewide basis. They are one “tool in the toolbox” that may help with mid-term timber supply issues in parts of the Interior that have been impacted by the mountain pine beetle. The results of the engagement pro-cess will inform how government proceeds and whether legislative changes will be needed as a result of the feed-back.

The Province has pro-claimed Make-a-Will Week in recognition of the new Wills, Estates and Succession Act (WESA) that came into force March 31, 2014. The new law makes estate planning simpler and easier for the gen-eral public to under-stand.

“This legislation is a further example of our commitment to modernize laws for all British Columbians. Make-a-Will Week is a reminder to citizens to put their last wishes in writing and the Wills,

Estates and Succession Act has made doing so easier than ever,” said Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Su-zanne Anton.

Throughout this week - March 31 through April 6, 2014 - the Province and various justice partners are raising awareness about the importance of creating or updating your will.

If you want certainty that your final wishes will be carried out, a will can help. A valid will can allow you to:

* Choose who will care for your minor children.

* Divide assets among people and or-ganizations.

* Ease the burden when your loved ones administer your estate.

* Provide direction on funeral and burial preparations.

The new legislation does not invalidate wills made before it came into effect. Some of the laws govern-ing the interpretation of wills have changed, so individuals who al-ready have a will may choose to have it re-viewed by a lawyer to ensure their wishes are upheld.

Have you made your will?

B.C. Viewsby Tom Fletcher

Kootenay Bill Ben-nett has done what I reported last November he was doing: seizing the horns of the sacred cow that is the Agricul-tural Land Reserve.

Henceforth there shall be two land reserves. The Island, South Coast and Okanagan, which produce 85% of B.C.’s total farm revenue on 10% of protected land, retains its strict anti-development rules.

In the much larger area Bennett likes to call “beyond Hope,” non-farm uses will be considered to help maintain the many economically mar-ginal farmers. This is the Interior, Kootenay and North, where de-velopment pressure is mostly an urban myth. In remote areas, ALR diktats with no relation to reality are routinely ignored.

Political critics were quick to call this a B.C. Liberal hidden agenda to pave the ALR for their developer pals. Certainly neither par-ty’s 2013 platform talked about the ALR, although B.C. Liberal leadership candidates Kevin Falcon and Mike de Jong promised relief from its more sense-less bureaucracy to

Peace country farmers in 2011.

When the zone plan was revealed last week, media went to ALR pioneer Harold Steves, the hero of all Lower Mainlanders who try to tell northern farmers what to do.

“My real fear is that they want to open the door for fracking and natural gas and oil,” Steves said.

I’ve got bad news for the socialist sage of south Richmond. Oil and gas companies have operated on farm-land since before the ALR was created in 1974.

Conspiracy buffs should read the del-egation agreement that took effect just weeks after last May’s elec-tion, giving the Oil and Gas Commission authority to administer wells, pipelines and waste pits on farmland. If the ALR interferes with the prescribed handling of drilling waste, it interferes with safety measures.

University of the Fraser Valley “food security” professor Le-nore Newman went on CKNW to refute what she called “uninformed arguments,” and then offered one of her own. This two-zone change is connected to the ex-clusion of large tracts of Peace land for the Site C dam, she said.

Actually, the govern-ment exempted that project last December using the long-standing “provincial interest” provision, so this phase of the alleged capitalist plot against farmland has no effect on Site C.

Steves is also con-cerned about second homes being built be-yond Hope, and later sold rather than be-

ing destroyed as is the current disastrous rule. He warns that farmers might end up with “non-farm neigh-bours,” or as we like to call them up north, “neighbours.”

Again, this is an urban problem projected onto rural B.C., where cost-ly restrictions mainly serve to accelerate the depopulation of rural and remote areas.

Delta South indepen-dent MLA Vicki Hun-tington is livid about the legislation, which has no effect on loss of farmland in her con-stituency. The growing federally regulated port supersedes provincial laws, and the Tsaw-wassen First Nation is growing a big shop-ping centre on its treaty land.

Aboriginal entrepre-neurs are also starting to force big-box de-velopment on south-ern Vancouver Island, home of the purest of the pure left. This is where farmers can’t even protect them-selves against deer.

The most damning charge is that the six regional ALR panels now in place are open to corruption under new rules. Panel mem-bers have always been cabinet appointments, but currently they have to be from outside the region so they are less likely to hand out exemptions to their friends.

That is certainly something to keep an eye on. So is the status of B.C. farms, where the average farmer age is 56 and rising, and half of farms have in-come less than $10,000 a year.

ALR divided, not conquered

Energy Minister Bill Bennett.

A few months back, I received a notification which advised me that I had to declare whether Buckerfields was a ‘pro-ducer’ of printed paper or packaging material. If so, we would have to implement an ‘approved stewardship plan’ to deal with the material. Other-wise we would have to join another ‘steward-ship plan’ and pay fees to that plan holder. I thought it was a scam. But I looked into it fur-ther and determined that there was indeed regula-tory provisions in effect which stated this very thing and according to the regulations, Buck-erfields is now a ‘pro-ducer’ of printed paper and packaging material, with the best example being our Buckerfields feed bags.

I then discussed the alternatives with a Min-istry of Environment of-ficial and came to realize that we had no choice but to join the only approved stewardship plan in the Province, MMBC. We signed the MMBC con-tract. But we also read it. And it stated that MMBC had to file audited finan-cial statements on its web site. I recently went to the web site and there are no audited financial statements.

Now, several months later, I have discovered the following:

MMBC is a corpora-tion under the Societies Act comprised of three Directors, two of which live in Ontario. None of the Directors have public sector credentials. All of the Directors represent large corporate interests.

MMBC is not account-able to any government agency, appointed of-ficial, elected official or any other government body other than the Reg-istrar of Companies un-der the Societies Act

MMBC is not gov-erned by the Province’s Financial Administration Act which sets out the

rules for the administra-tion of all public monies.

None of the monies collected by MMBC, including the fees Buck-erfields is supposed to pay go to the Public Ac-counts of the Province or any other government organization.

MMBC is not subject to oversight by the Audi-tor General of BC

Under MMBC’s ‘stew-ardship plan’ as approved by the Provincial govern-ment, MMBC has the authority to charge com-panies like Buckerfields unlimited fees based on whatever MMBC spends, regardless of what the actual costs are to recycle our feed bags and regardless of the fact that we already pay mu-nicipal taxes in all eight of our locations.

MMBC has the au-thority to come into any municipality in the Prov-ince and offer financial incentives to the locally elected government to do what MMBC wants in the area of waste col-lection and recycling; if the locally elected gov-ernment refuses, MMBC has the authority to do what it wants anyway.

The municipal govern-ments of the province do not know the back-ground of MMBC and don’t yet realize the fees that MMBC is charg-ing to Buckerfields and all the other companies amounts to double taxa-tion The municipal gov-ernments are going to have to give up that tax base they have for waste collection and recycling because the shift to ‘pro-ducers’ paying directly for waste collection and recycling eliminates the need and justification for ‘consumers’ i.e. prop-erty tax payers to pay for these services through the municipalities.

The Provincial govern-ment did not consult with the municipal govern-ments or the public but companies like Buck-erfields are pointing it

out because until it is resolved, we are being taxed twice for the same service and residential taxpayers (including me) are being taxed for some-thing that someone else is actually paying for.

Taxpayers and mu-nicipal governments were not consulted as to whether they really want to shift the financ-ing and control of mu-nicipal waste and recy-cling services out of the municipal jurisdiction, that is, the jurisdiction of democratically elected municipal officials into the hands of a corpora-tion under the Societies Act that is accountable to no one and is outside the jurisdiction of the Pro-vincial Auditor General

Taxpayers and vot-ers are unaware that the fees being charged by MMBC are so oner-ous that they will cause newspaper closures and job losses of 300-500 in the newspaper indus-try in British Columbia, even though recycled newsprint is actually very valuable.

In finding all this out, I lament the fact that none of this was introduced into the legislature for proper debate because it means that instead of spending my days man-aging the sale of chicks and garden supplies at Buckerfields, I have to spend my time trying to revive democratic pro-cesses in British Colum-bia, retroactively. I find it appalling.

My position as of the time of this writing is this, we ain’t paying a dime to MMBC and nei-ther should anyone else, not until:

The provincial govern-ment reconciles what it is doing with the municipal governments and mu-nicipal taxpayers so that taxpayers don’t have to pay twice.

The provincial govern-ment takes back the leg-islation which calls us ‘producers’ and ‘blames us’ for the choices made by manufacturers and indeed consumers that are completely outside of our control.

Any monies charged under the auspices of the Recyling Regulation are included in the Public Accounts of the Province and subject to the provi-sions of the Financial Administration Act and the Auditor General Act.

Whatever is going to be done is introduced into the Legislative Assem-bly in the form of a Bill so that the proper public debate can occur.

Insofar as MMBC has not filed its audited finan-cial statements since in-ception, and the period of time not reported spans more than two years, and insofar as MMBC is actually a taxing and funding agency, there be an independent public enquiry into the finan-cial operations, sources and uses of funds, con-tractual procedures and expenditures of MMBC.

No, Buckerfields is not paying a dime until this cash and power grab is unraveled and revealed for what it is.

One final word, 96% of all printed paper and packaging material is already being picked up or deposited into munici-pally financed facilities. Despite what MMBC is saying, at least 53% of that is already being re-cycled and it is very like-ly that that number was seriously understated to give the government a reason for its MMBC cash and power grab. In reality, there is no basis for setting up a recy-cling dictatorship and charging punitive fees to companies like Bucker-fields at all. Recycling is a booming business with rapidly increasing prices of marketable commodi-ties. Could that be why the Board of MMBC is all big business and outside the jurisdiction of the Auditor General? We don’t have to change a thing to see recycling take off in BC, in the hands of our elected municipal officials. We need to send the MMBC regime to the recycle bin.

~ Kelvin McCullochCEO, Buckerfields

Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth intro-duced his first two cau-cus supporters recently for the NDP leadership race, promising more to come.

Saanich South MLA Lana Popham and Sti-kine MLA Doug Don-aldson are the first to publicly endorse Farn-worth, who finished second to Adrian Dix in the 2011 NDP lead-ership race.

Farnworth is trailing in MLA support behind

Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan, the third-place finisher in 2011, who has 15 caucus members on side. Farn-worth said there will be more MLA supporters when he holds his of-ficial campaign kickoff in Port Coquitlam on Saturday.

Horgan is endorsed by Skeena MLA Robin Austin, Surrey-Newton MLA Harry Bains, B u r n a b y - E d m o n d s MLA Raj Chouhan, New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy, Burnaby-Deer Lake MLA Kathy

Corrigan, Vancouver-Point Grey MLA David Eby, Vancouver-Kens-ington MLA Mable Elmore, Alberni-Pa-cific Rim MLA Scott Fraser, Surrey-Green Timbers MLA Sue Hammell, Victoria-Beacon Hill MLA Car-ole James, Esquimalt-Royal Roads MLA Maurine Karagianis, Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall, Co-wichan Valley MLA Bill Routley, Burnaby-Lougheed MLA Jane Shin and North Island MLA Claire Trevena.

Farnworth said 18,000 party mem-bers voted in the 2011 contest, won by Dix

despite having en-dorsement of only five caucus members. Can-didates have until June

to sign up new mem-bers and Farnworth predicted that member-ship will top 20,000 by

the time the leadership vote is tallied on Sept. 28.

Tip of the Week: Aries is the sign of dawn, daybreak, the moment when the sun peaks above the horizon flooding the plane in view with light. Thus the theme of birth, as in the new day, is linked to Aries. It is tempting to confuse the notion of the Constellation of Aries for that of the actual phenomenal event of the Sun at the moment of daybreak. Yet, there remains this lingering confusion which assumes that the constellations precede and are the foundation of Astrology. Sunrise, culmination at noon, sunset and midnight, which also correspond to East, South, West and North are the true foundations. The division of the day and the year into 4 main quadrants, in turn, also corresponds to the 4 Elements: Fire, Earth, Air and Water. Dividing each quadrant into 3 produces a simple measure of beginning, middle and end of each quarter of the day and of the year. Early, spring, mid-spring and late spring is a basic example and we can say the same of morning, or of each quarter of the day. We can say the same of each quarter of the year, which of course are represented by the seasons and are demarcated by the solstices and equinoxes. The ‘Constellations of the Zodiac’ are thus projections of this experiential and time and date ordered measure of the passage of time. They are not so much objective facts as they are metaphors. So, it is easy to understand then that the 12 Constellations of the Zodiac do not precede the foundations of Astrology; they are actually afterthoughts used for the backdrop that they ably represent for the sake of measuring the movements of the planets which, based on their angular and spatial inter-relationships from the perspective of our experiential reality here on Earth, are the main players in Astrology. P.S. The Sun and Moon are generally classified as ‘planets’ but are specifically referred to as ‘luminaries’.

Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)New realizations are awakening you to perspectives previously hidden. These are linked to some of your closest relationships, perhaps especially among friends. They are activating your mind and imagination. At best they are catalysts for healing which includes clearing subconscious blocks and/or perceptual blind spots. Participate with sincerity for best results. Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)Many ideas, dreams and schemes that have been brewing in the back of your mind are beginning to take form. These may still be in the planning or drafting stage. They are linked to your reputation and place in the world. Yet, you may feel a bit scattered and overwhelmed by all the implications. Allow your dreams to guide you.Gemini (May 21 – Jun 21)A resurgence of your sense of individuality is underway. This turn may feel sharp, sudden and unexpected. Yet it may be just what you have been wanting, asking for, or at least needing. At best it will feel like a new sense of freedom. Still, it may require some sober thought, action and investigation. You likely have something special to share. Name it and you will be half way there.Cancer (Jun 21 – Jul 22)Something big is shaking in your public and professional life. This may not be a new story, but this is the next chapter, or perhaps even the next sequel. The reverberations can be felt close to home and in your most important relationships. It may feel like you have to proceed as on simply a hope and a prayer. Well, there is power in both of these so make the most of them.Leo (Jul 22 – Aug 23)Circumstances are leading you, perhaps even pushing, to go big. To succeed it will require a firm grip. This implies self-control to outline, execute and follow through on key plans. It also includes a healthy balance of collaboration, delegation and research. Prepare to be in the limelight for a while starting in 2-3 weeks.Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)Diving deeply into matters continues. These stand to be linked to finances, income, taxes and so on. While you might rather evade or deny the implications, it best that you don’t. Aim to interpret these events as opportunities to increase your personal power. Meanwhile, people and situations may not be so reliable or predicable just now, so you are wise to remain flexible.

Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)Some shifting and shaking and sifting and sorting on relationship fronts should be keeping you occupied. The quality and mode of your self-expression is woven into this plot. Expressing yourself creatively and according to your own, unique and individual style of late especially is featured. Yet this week the emphasis shifts from self-expression to service and giving.Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)Changes in your daily routine and possibly even your entire lifestyle continue to roll in. This week you might even experience a spike in the graph. Doing work behind the scenes is likely. This includes activities close to home and with family. Cleaning and beautifying your living environment will prove inspiring.Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)How far will you go? The time has come to expand the scope of your influence. Yet, you are wise to think twice and act once now. Some of your ideas may not be so realistic, or at least you do not have enough to follow through with. Not enough information or materials or money or…. Do make plans but wait for some of the missing pieces to fall into place.Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19) Situations at home are influencing your decisions at work and vice versa. Though a common theme, the implications are larger than usual. Questions of money are featured. This is all stirring your thoughts and imagination, perhaps wildly. Consider that self-mastery = emotional self-control = harnessing your imagination to work for and not against you.Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)In this age of massive and global information exchange, many new perspectives are being stimulated. This will be extra evident to you and in your life circumstance now. This is your invitation to take some time out to express your ideas and/or to promote your gifts, talents, skills and offerings. Tune-in by harnessing your imagination and expressing and/or presenting your talents.Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)Laying the foundation for future activity is now in focus. Careful preparation and planning is necessary for success. This implies creative work behind the scenes. Yet, it also features communications with pivotal players on ‘your team’. Your ambitions will rise yet and so too will your work load. For now, rest, plan and prepare.

Corry Williams WOW can’t waitAnna Lee When is it coming?

By Tom FletcherBlack Press

B.C. has signed on to the federal govern-ment’s program to match skills training with employers’ needs, after negotiations to maintain most of the existing programs to assist older and disad-vantaged people.

B.C. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond signed onto the Canada Job Grant program in Ot-tawa Monday, as prov-inces and territories agreed to a program that requires employ-ers to put up a third of training costs. Once the program takes effect, the federal share will be up to $10,000 per trainee with another $5,000 from a sponsor-ing employer.

Federal Employment Minister Kenney said the new program will

address the need for thousands of skilled workers to develop liquefied natural gas plants, pipelines and other projects in B.C. There is no general la-bour shortage in Can-ada, but the $900 mil-lion a year the federal government spends on post-secondary training needs to match up bet-ter with the available jobs, he said.

“So we need to re-engineer our education system,” Kenney said. “B.C. has taken the lead on this, to prepare young people for the jobs of the future, to educate them for the la-bour market.”

The agreement means B.C. will use 40% of Ottawa’s $65 million annual skills training transfer for the new program.

“We very much sup-port the concept of em-

ployer-led and driven employment programs, and I think that’s actu-ally where we ended up with the Canada Job Grant file,” Bond said.

B.C. objected to the program initially, be-cause it would have taken federal money away from existing training programs for disadvantaged groups. Kenney said the amended deal allows 90 per cent of B.C.’s training programs to carry on.

One of those is a 2007 federal-provincial pro-gram for workers aged 55 to 64 in communi-ties with fewer than 250,000 people that have high unemploy-ment or closure of em-ployers.

Interior Health would like to express its ap-preciation to long-standing Board Direc-tor Glenn Sutherland, who retired from the Board when his term expired on March 31.

“Glenn has been a part of our Board for nine years, showing a tremendous commit-ment to health care for our region,” says Board Chair Norman Em-bree. “On behalf of the Board, I would like to acknowledge the dedi-cation he brought to In-terior Health through-out his tenure.”

The Board of Direc-tors functions as the governing body for Interior Health, pro-viding oversight on the organization’s strategic direction to the Senior Executive Team, which is responsible for day-to-day operations. Board members are ap-pointed by the Province of British Columbia.

“Glenn brought a strong governance, business and rural per-spective and passionate voice to the Board for almost a decade. I’d like to wish him well in his future pursuits,”

says Dr. Robert Hal-penny, CEO and Presi-

Retiring IH board member honoured

The Government of B.C. has officially launched its two-page, short-form request for proposals (SRFP) mak-ing it easier for small businesses to sell to government.

The shorter form will be used for government opportunities valued at less than $250,000, where it makes sense. The change streamlines the request for propos-als process, making it easier for small busi-nesses to apply and compete for work. The SRFP is one of several measures announced in 2013 to increase small businesses participation in government procure-ment opportunities.

The scope, process and templates for the two-page form were developed through ex-tensive consultations - 14 sessions with 273 vendors, ministry and broader public sector staff during fall 2013. Several ministries pilot-ed the short form RFP in January and February with positive results.

Benefits of the simpli-fied two-page form:

* Reduces the amount of time required to man-age the request for pro-posals process overall.

* Previously, the aver-age length of a request for proposal was around 18 pages but could be upwards of 80 pages with submitted respons-es being much longer, sometimes up to a few

hundred pages.* Uses a smart form, a

fillable online PDF doc-ument with rules built in that provides consis-tency in the experience for vendors and minis-tries. This includes bet-ter alignment between what is being asked for, and what is being evalu-ated.

The simplified two page form delivers on

a BC Small Business Accord commitment to reduce barriers to gov-ernment’s procurement process. The form also aligns with a recom-mendation to streamline procurement processes and templates, as out-lined in the report Do-ing Business with Gov-ernment Project (http://www.jtst.gov.bc.ca/sell-tobcgov/docs/Doing-

BusinessWithGovtPro-ject_v04.pdf),released by the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training in March.Rec-ommendations in the report are intended to reduce the barriers fac-ingsmall businesses and improve their ability to sell to government.

SPECIAL “HOT BUYS” IN EVERY DEPARTMENT!


Education is the first step in keeping our kids safer in this technology-driven world. It is not uncommon that our children know more about

the workings of the Internet and Social Networking than we as parents do. This presentation is designed to educate even the most computer

illiterate parent. Knowledge and the understanding and application of that knowledge is power. Our presentation will provide the knowledge and information, based upon academically peer reviewed research, that parents need to know about the Internet and Social Networking to help keep their

children safer. To date, thousands of parents (and growing) in British Columbia have heard our very unique “pro-active” message.

Some Of The Topics Covered Include• What is the Internet and Social Networking

• What are our kids doing on-line• What are Chatrooms, IM’s, SMS/MMS and how to stay safer using them

• Cellphone/smartphone and web cam safety• How students are placing their privacy at risk on-line• What is your “digital dossier” and how to protect it

• The good and bad of Social Networks• Parental Risk Management

dent of Interior Health.Sutherland accepted

a position on the IH Board in March of 2005. He made an im-portant contribution over the years, both as a director and in chair-ing the Board’s Audit and Finance, Human Resources and Gover-nance committees. His role with the board also gave him the opportu-

nity to serve as Vice-Chair of the Health Employers Association of BC, and served as a Trustee on Healthcare Benefi t Trust.

“From the executive team to the front lines, everyone is really fo-cused on doing the best thing for everyone at Interior Health,” says Sutherland. “Seeing people at all levels sup-porting patients and each other is touching,

and it really made the whole experience in-credibly rewarding.”

Interior Health’s Board consists of nine Directors appointed by the Minister of Health through a pro-cess established by the government’s Board Resourcing and Devel-opment Offi ce.

Your child is enrolled and ready for kinder-garten, but what about making sure that your child’s immune system is ready too? Kinder-garten boosters are be-ing offered to children between the ages of 4 and 6 at the Cranbrook Health Unit. Clinics are scheduled for April 7, 11 and 14 and appoint-ments can be booked by calling 250-420-2207.

When children reach kindergarten age, it’s time for two booster immunizations of diph-theria, tetanus, pertus-sis, polio and chick-enpox. That’s because as children get older, the protection from in-fant immunizations can wear off. Vaccines trig-ger the immune system to be prepared to pro-tect itself when exposed to certain bacteria and viruses that cause dis-eases such as pertussis (whooping cough) or polio.

Recent outbreaks of pertussis and measles in BC have highlighted the importance of keep-ing disease rates low by keeping immunization rates high. The DTaP-IPV vaccine protects against four diseases all in one shot. Diphtheria is a serious infection of the nose and throat and is spread through the air by sneezing, coughing or directly by skin-to –skin contact. Tetanus, also known as “lockjaw” is caused by a germ mostly found in soil that can enter the skin through a cut or scrape. Pertussis is a serious infection of the lungs and throat that is easily spread by coughing, sneezing or close face-to-face con-tact. Polio, although no longer in Canada, still occurs in other parts of the world and can reappear if immuni-zation rates fall. The chickenpox vaccine is the best way to protect your child against the chickenpox illness and its complications such as pneumonia, enceph-alitis (swelling of the brain), and bacterial infections of the skin. Encephalitis can lead to convulsions, deafness or brain damage. For some people, the chick-enpox virus can become active again later in life and cause a painful rash called shingles.

Vaccines are safe. It

is much safer to get the vaccine than to get sick from the disease. Com-mon reactions to the vaccine include sore-ness, redness and swell-ing where the shot was given. These reactions are mild and gener-ally only last one to two days.

The Kindergarten booster is easy to get. If you live outside the Cranbrook area, you can contact your local Public Health Centre for immunization in-formation, to fi nd out when Kindergarten booster clinics are be-ing held in your area, or to book an appoint-ment. Public Health Centres are listed under Health Authorities in the ‘Blue Pages’ of your local Telus telephone directory, or you can visit our website www.

interiorhealth.ca and follow the links under Health Services/Service

Listings/Public Health Centres. In addition, www.immunizebc.ca is

a great source for infor-mation on vaccinations and immunization.

2. The ALR will be divided into two zones. Zone 1 (lower mainland, Island, Okanagan) will be business as usual; Zone 2 (Kootenays, Cariboo & North) ALC decisions will now consider (in addition to agriculture land protection) economic, social & local government perspectives.

3. ALC decisions will be made by people from the region. The six existing regional panels will be established in law and must have minimum of two members. maximum of 3, all from that region. ALC will now have an obligation to report to Minister on service levels to the public.

College of the Rockies is once again expanding their list of course offer-ings with a new Com-puter Support Techni-cian (CST) certificate program. This innova-tive program combines online learning with hands-on experience in computer hardware, application support, op-erating systems and net-works.

The CST program is being offered in collab-oration with four other post-secondary institu-tions: College of New Caledonia, Northern Lights College, Yukon College and Northwest Community College. Students are admitted to and receive their certifi-cate from College of the Rockies but courses will be offered online by all five institutions.

Information Technol-ogy Department Head Ildi Walkley says, “Businesses depend on computer systems for everything from their web presence to their record-keeping, email and office applications and they need profes-sionals to help keep these systems function-ing. This new program helps prepare graduates for industry certification exams and for entry lev-el positions as computer support technicians.”

Students enrolled in the CST program will complete 10 courses over two semesters starting in September 2014. In the second se-mester of the program, students can choose electives based on their preferred focus: web de-velopment, systems ad-ministration or database administration.

For more information on the Computer Sup-port Technician pro-gram, go to: cotr.ca/cst.

Spring Houseplants1. Wakey, wakey! Spring is the time when we start

to look for signs of life outdoors in yards and gar-dens, but our houseplants are also waking up from their winter slumber and kicking into high gear. We can give them a boost with a little bit of TLC.

2. Spring cleaning. Houseplants use their green leaves to absorb sunlight and produce food in a process called photosynthesis. Dirty leaves cannot photosynthesize, so it is important to get all the dust and possibly insects that have accumulated on your plants over the dry winter months off as soon as they are ready to come out of dormancy.

3. Take a shower. The easiest way to clean your houseplants with hard-surfaced, smooth leaves is to give them a nice, tepid shower. To be sure your plant does not get over-watered in the shower, place the pot in a plastic bag and tie it tightly - without causing injury - around the base of the plant. You may have to lay extra plastic between multiple stems. Put the plant in the shower, making sure the water is neither too warm nor too cold and let the water sprinkle the plant for a few minutes.

4. Gentle touch. Plants with hairy leaves need a bit of dusting with a feather duster or paintbrush be-fore hitting the shower. For prickly cactus and hairy succulents, the shower method is not appropriate - both so you don’t poke yourself and to protect the waxy or hairy coating that protects these plants and helps them to conserve moisture. Stick to dusting or carefully pick off larger dust particles with a pair of tweezers. Another option is to mist your cactus with a spray bottle filled with water and clean the areas that are dirty or dusty.

5. Minerals are not always a good thing. While plants need mineral nutrients in the soil to help them grow, minerals can build up on leaves and the soil surface and actually become harmful to your plants. You can wipe smooth leaves with a dry, clean rag or gently scrape with your thumb. Make sure to sup-port each leaf with your free hand as you work. Min-eral deposits on the soil surface and rim of the pot should be removed completely without damaging the plants’ roots.

6. Bring back the light. Once the plants are clean and shiny, they have to dry completely before being returned to their spot in the light as direct sunlight can burn wet leaves. Set them on towels or old news-papers to dry right in the shower stall. Before you place the plants back on the window sill, clean the glass so the plant gets optimal sunlight.

7. Outgrowing their home. If you have removed mineral build-up from the soil in your pots, adding a fresh layer of potting mix can revive your plants. Sometimes, however, there comes a time when your houseplant outgrows its pot and needs to be trans-planted into a bigger one. If left in a pot that is too small, the plant’s roots may not be able to get water and nutrients they need to grow, look stunted and older leaves may yellow and drop. Repotting is best done in the spring when roots grow quickly, helping the plant recover from the shock of transplanting.

8. Finding a new home. Water the plant well a few days before repotting. The new pot for your house-plant should be about two inches larger in diameter than the old one. Get the plant out of its old home by inverting the pot and gently lifting the plant out, hanging onto the main stem. Loosening the sides with a wide knife can help. Put fresh potting soil in the bottom of the new pot, transfer the plant over and add potting mix so soil is at the same level as in the old pot. Water well and keep out of strong light for a few days to help the plant rest.

9. Getting to the root of it. Root trimming can be ef-fective if you want to keep a plant at its existing size in the original pot and improve its health at the same time. Remove the plant from the pot and trim one to two inches of the outer roots with sharp pruners. When you are finished put the plant back in the pot with some new soil mix. Keep in mind, this method will not work for all plants.

10. Outdoor living. Once it has warmed up out-doors and there is no chance your houseplants could get too cold overnight, consider taking them outside. Start off in a semi-shaded spot to acclimatize them to the sunlight and after a week, move them around to find the perfect spot for the summer.

Carla Lowden and her staff at Cranbrook Curves were overwhelmed by the generosity of their members. They collected 1,671 pounds of food plus $870 for the Cranbrook Food Bank in less than three weeks in March. Curves International allows them to report a pound for every dollar raised so they reached their goal and reported 2541 pounds.

Rising basketball stars from the Kootenays will have an opportunity to play with the best play-ers in the province this spring.

Grand Forks Second-ary (GFSS) is hosting a try-out camp for Under 15 girls (grade 9 and younger) on Saturday, April 5 from 10 a.m. un-til 5 p.m.

The cost to try-out is $55 per player plus $15 for a Basketball B.C. membership. Registra-tion includes t-shirt, socks, insurance and a written evaluation.

The camp will feature individual skill develop-ment as well as scrim-mage games.

“At the camp, coaches will select 10 players for the team plus a few alternates,” said head coach Craig Lindsay. “Those players will have practice sessions on two Saturdays (April 19 and May 3) at GFSS and then travel to compete at the provincial zone tournament in Langley on May long weekend (May 16-18).”

Lindsay said playing on a regional team is

a great opportunity to have fun and improve your skills as well as to meet players from dif-ferent regions.

Players from through-out the Kootenays are eligible as long as they were born in 1999 or later.

“The team will com-pete with seven other zones throughout the province at the Langley Events Centre,” said Lindsay, who coached the junior girls team at GFSS this past year, and has coached several regional teams in Victo-ria. “The competition is really good. You see all the best players from throughout B.C. trying to win the provincial title.”

Lindsay said it’s al-ways interesting and challenging to mix play-

ers from different teams into a regional select team.

“It’s fun and chal-lenging as players get a chance to play with girls from different parts of the Kootenay who you normally might see at one or two tournaments during the year,” he said. “Players who put the time in on their skills in the spring and summer have a definite advan-tage when it comes to the next school season.”

From the provincial zone championship, 40 players will be chosen to attend the U15 provin-cial team selection camp where the two provincial teams are chosen.

For more information call Lindsay at 250-304-4649 or go to basketball.bc.ca.

Four local teams have been awarded spots at the upcoming National Environmental Educa-tion Leadership Clinic that will take place at Nipika Mountain Re-sort from April 26-29. The competition for the 8 available team spots was highly contested, with 22 teams made up of 88 educators from across the country sub-mitting applications.

Jointly hosted by the Columbia Basin Envi-ronmental Education

Network (CBEEN) and the Canadian Network for Environmental Edu-cation and Communi-cation (EECOM), this Leadership Clinic will provide teams with the opportunity to network, team-build, share re-sources, and take action on key goals they have set for themselves.

Local teams include Rocky Mountain School District #6, Wildsight, Wild Voices for Kids and a newly formed group of early childhood educators looking at developing

a plan to provide more opportunities for envi-ronmental education in the early years.

Lisa Lehr, who is the captain of that team said “Our team members are thrilled with the op-portunity to attend this Leadership Clinic. The goal is to create a 10-year plan of action to create awareness, en-courage involvement and design inclusive environmental educa-tion activities in the Early Years community. We are looking forward to share knowledge, re-

sources and funding op-portunities.”

Local teams will have the opportunity to net-work and learn from a wide variety of provin-cial and national teams including Interpreta-tion Canada, the Sas-katchewan Outdoor and Environmental Educa-tion Network, WildBC and Team BC which is made up of representa-tives from the BC En-vironmental Education Provincial Specialist

Association, the Insti-tute for Environmental Learning, Green Com-munities Canada Foun-dation and the Walking the Talk collaborative.

CBEEN Executive Director, Duncan Whit-tick, is very excited about the clinic, ex-pressing that “this will be a fantastic oppor-tunity for some of our local educators to be exposed to high quality programs and profes-sionals from across the

province and beyond”. This initiative was

made possible by gen-erous support from the Columbia Basin Trust, Columbia Power Cor-poration, Columbia Valley Community Foundation, Wild BC, Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, Insti-tute for Environmental Learning, Environmen-tal Education Provin-cial Specialist Associa-tion, Metro Vancouver and Nipika Mountain

Resort. With such a strong

response to this Clinic, CBEEN is looking at hosting this event on an annual basis over the next three years which would allow more local teams to take advantage of this opportunity.
