PST return to let business pay online Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government has tabled its long-awaited legislation to kill the harmonized sales tax and return to the old provincial sales tax, with some modernization to make it easier for small businesses to administer and pay the tax. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said Monday the PST will return as scheduled in April 2013, with exemptions for haircuts, restaurant meals, bicycles, movie tickets, gym memberships and all the other rules it had before. Falcon said the only sales tax breaks that won’t return are tempo-

rary exemptions that would have expired by now, including energyconserving windows and appliances, and fuel-efficient cars. Tax changes that were made along with the HST will be maintained. That includes a 12-per-cent provincial tax on privately sold used cars, making the tax equal to that paid at a car dealership. Provincial tobacco taxes were increased seven per cent when the HST came in, and that tax will continue. Liquor taxes will also be adjusted to keep retail prices the same as they are now. NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston said the legislation tabled Monday is relatively simple, with regulations listing the many rules and exemp-

tions still to come this fall so businesses can prepare for next spring. “I think they could have done it faster and they should have done it faster,” Ralston said. The government expects to save about $9 million a year in administration costs by using a new online registration and payment system for business, which B.C. expects to administer with about 100 fewer staff. Businesses will have to set up their computers to comply, with software expected to cost them about $1,000. Low-income families will give up a $230-per-person rebate that was introduced to offset the higher costs of HST to consumers, including children. As of April 2013, the

PST rebate will resume, paying $75 per single adult with an income of $15,000 or less, and $75 per parent for families with an income of $18,000 or less. Falcon noted an independent panel found the end of the HST will mean $520 million less revenue for the the B.C. treasury next year, $645 million less the following year and increasing lost revenue after that. “Clearly, any government in the future is going to have less revenue available to it, there’s no doubt about that,” Falcon said. “And obviously, we’re going to have to manage the challenge of bringing back a tax that is less efficient and conducive to economic development.”

B.C. boosts natural gas for trucks Tom Fletcher Black Press With low natural gas prices and abundant supply, the B.C. government is ramping up efforts to promote transport truck conversion to natural gas. Energy Minister Rich Coleman announced a

regulation change Tuesday that allows natural gas utilities to offer incentives to vehicle fleet operators for switching from diesel. FortisBC, the province’s largest gas supplier, can spend up to $62 million on incentives to refit vehicles and ships and another

$30.5 million on natural gas filling stations. FortisBC vice president Doug Stout said the company sees the subsidy as a good investment to get beyond “early adopters” such as Vedder Transport, which has converted its Abbotsford-based fleet

of milk trucks to LNG. FortisBC set up an LNG filling station in the company’s yard. “The goal is to build for other fleets, spread them out so they’ll be able to go from Vancouver to Prince George to Calgary to Edmonton,” Stout said. “That’s the

vision.” The B.C. government is also offering a separate discount of up to $2,500 off the purchase price of qualifying compressed natural gas vehicles. See CUSTOMERS, Page A4

Spring is in the air and a starling is in the stove

h, the familiar sounds of springtime down on the farm; the frogs croaking, bees buzzing and a starling fluttering inside the stove. We have an unseemly amount of birds on our property — not that I’m complaining. Our woods and wetlands ring with the songs of red-wing blackbirds, robins, grosbeaks, blue jays, swallows, orioles, magpies, crows, chickadees, common redpolls, starlings, nut hatches and an assortment of woodpeckers including hairy, downy, flickers and to our recent great delight, a pair of the pileated kind. The woodpeckers thrive here because of the ridiculous amount of blow down. We have 60 acres in total with only 10 or so in sheep and horse pasture while the rest is dense forest. When we first moved here I had visions of somehow cleaning up all the toppled poplars so we could walk through our prop-

erty without tripping and flailing about through the waistdeep deadfall. I wanted a clean, parklike kind of forest. It will never happen. Instead we have settled for a circular walking trail that we keep clear of tumble down trees (and by “we” I mean Darcy and his trusty chainsaw). We can walk through a small part of our woods on this wide looping pathway, but the rest of the forest is left to the wild. The rotting logs provide homes for birds, butterflies, rabbits, squirrels and all manner of critters and bugs. It also holds a variety of native plants that are so beautiful they

make me question why I garden at all. How much saner it would be if I just walked through the woods, checking out nature’s perfect garden instead. But I digress. Back to the subject at hand; the starling in the stove. Come spring all the birds unleash themselves about the place scouring every tree, every birdhouse and every outbuilding for housing possibilities. The birdhouses are snapped up faster than cheap condos in Vancouver. It’s the early migrates that get the best houses. For the last couple springs the juncos won out, but this year a smug pair of starlings set up housekeeping in the most popular birdhouse just hours before its former tenants arrived. Mr. and Mrs. Junco were properly horrified at the turn of events and exchanged a few heated chirps with the Starling couple, debating previous tenancy rights before apparently losing out to the better

When it comes to nature I try not to take sides, but in this case I felt sorry for the juncos, and not just because it had been their home first. Starlings have a nasty penchant for eating their neighbours’ chil-

dren. Juncos — as far as I know — do not. The next day I glanced out the window and spotted the pileated woodpecker perched on the side of the starlings’ new house. I lunged for my camera and knocked off a couple blurry shots just before he chattered his

Fortunately this only happens two or three times per spring and getting the birds out is a simple matter. We only have to draw the blinds, shut off the lights and open the kitchen door. Then we fling the door to the stove ajar and out the bird soars, heading straight for the rectangle of light and into the wild blue yonder. They always land on the tip of a poplar and burst into song for a few seconds before resuming their search for a nest. They’re either singing out of sheer joy of having survived or letting other birds know to steer clear of the tall silver tube tree. Or in the case of the shady starling, he is probably telling the Junco couple he has found them the perfect nest. Shannon McKinnon is a humour columnist from Northern BC.

Dementia isn’t always a disease of the aged. Evidently, brain function starts to decline at the age of 45. Many risk factors that may contribute to dementia later in life, can occur in middle age. These include high cholesterol, obesity and high blood pressure. So taking care of your body and your brain in your middle years may stave off dementia in the later years.

beak on the bird house filling the air with his trademark RAT-A-TATTAT. In the time it took for the starling couple to think, “What the — ?” he had popped a quarter sized hole in their roof and flew off. I bet Mr. and Mrs. Junco got a kick out of that. As for the starlings, one of them apparently decided to check out our chimney as a hole-less housing possibility. And like all the birds that came before him and all the birds that will come after (pending the rental of a bucket truck and the insertion of a screen) he instead found the chimney to be bottomless. Or almost. The poor birds must feel like Alice in Wonderland tumbling down the rabbit hole. Only instead of seeing a rabbit or a bottle of magic medicine upon landing, they find themselves peering through the glass door of the wood stove straight into the buggy-with-surprise eyes of Cosmo the dog.

Early diagnosis is important in many diseases and doctors are hoping for success in studies being carried out to find a “biomarker” in the blood that would indicate dementia may be brewing. One biomarker has already been found that predicts low oxygen in the brain. This is an early indicator of dementia. More work is to be done but the future is looking brighter for early diagnoses of dementia. With at least five years of post-secondary education and a strong love of science and service, pharmacists love their work.

Customers not convinced 5IJT 8FFLµT $SPTTXPSE Continued from A2 “We think there’s a huge opportunity here,” Coleman said. Environment Minister Terry Lake said an LNG vehicle produces 20 to 30 per cent less greenhouse gas than conventional fuels. “We don’t have the low-hanging fruit like coal-fired plants to shut down, like other

provinces do,” Lake said. “So the transportation sector is a big area where we can make some gains.” Chilliwack-based Westport Innovations sells engine conversions and natural gas filling stations around the world. Bill Larkin, Westport’s chief financial officer, said the incentives are important

now because customers are still not convinced of the fuel savings. “We’re building the new Port Mann Bridge and the South Fraser Perimeter Road to move more goods,”

Larkin said. “If we can get more trucks on LNG and CNG, it reduces the cost of moving goods, reduces emissions and makes our economy more competitive.”

TIPS FROM THE CRD

Generator Safety Downed uƟlity lines, power company blackouts, heavy snow falls or summer storms can all lead to power outages. Many people turn to a portable generator for a temporary soluƟon without knowing the risks. • • • • • •

Generators should be used in well venƟlated locaƟons outside away from all doors, windows and vent openings. Never use a generator in an aƩached garage, even with the door open. Place generators so that exhaust fumes can’t enter the home through windows, doors or other openings in the building. Make sure to install carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in your home. Follow manufacturer’s instrucƟons for correct placement and mounƟng height. Turn oī generators and let them cool down before refueling. Never refuel a generator while it is running Store fuel for the generator in a container that is intended for the purpose and is correctly labeled as such. Store the containers outside of living areas.

When plugging in appliances, make sure they are plugged directly into the generator or a heavy duty outdoor-rated extension cord. The cords should be checked for cuts, tears and that the plug has all three prongs, especially a grounding pin. If you must connect the generator to the house wiring to power appliances, have a qualied electrician install a properly rated transfer switch in accordance with the NaƟonal Electrical Code® (NEC) and all applicable state and local electrical codes.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our rights are being stripped away; they have removed prayer from the classroom!â&#x20AC;? During the past few years much ado has been made in the media and online forums about the growing anxiety and frustration concerning the Separation of Church and State. This Separation Anxiety has caused many Christian people to become vocal about their perception of a secularist plot to banish Christianity from the public sphere. The question must be asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Does removing mandatory prayer and the 10 Commandments from public facilities constitute an attack on the practise of Christianity?â&#x20AC;? Simply put, the answer is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No!â&#x20AC;? In fact, these actions should encourage followers of Jesus to be thankful for this intentional separation of church and state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What, how can you say that Bubba?â&#x20AC;? The answer is found in the historical relationship between church and state that is almost unfathomable to our understanding today. In Martin Lutherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day and even later, during the time of the framing of the Constitution, most of the countries of the world had one of two relationships between church and state. Either the government was controlled directly or indirectly by some national religion (modern Iran, medieval Italy) or a national church is controlled by the leader of

PARSONS PEN BY REVEREND BUBBA the state (beginning of the Church of England, post reformation Scandinavia). In both cases the freedom of religious practise was strongly curtailed and only those religious practises sanctioned by the state church were allowed. To practise a non-state religion was not only viewed as religious heresy, but also as treason against the state, usually punishable by prison or death. To make things worse, state religions could change depending on the ruler that comes to power. For example, in England it could be punishable by death to be a Protestant Christian under a Catholic ruler, then a few years later all Catholics could be punished with death if they did not swear allegiance to the Protestant Church of England. Terror, fear, blood and

instability were the historic results. Further, recognizing the separation of church and state makes room for the legitimate practice of faith within the public sphere. Removing the recitation of the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prayer in public schools, in no way prevents students from praying on those same school grounds. In fact, there are many student lead prayer movements happening in public schools across North America. The difference is that the state is not forcing prayer on the students. They have freedom to practise their faith; however, they are protected from being forced to participate in a faith with which they disagree. Can you imagine the outrage among Christians if prayers to Hindu deities were mandatory in state controlled facilities? Thank God for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Separation of Church and State.â&#x20AC;? Without it we could be living in a religiously despotic country like Iran or in a country, like China, where religion is not protected and religious practise can lead to imprisonment and execution. Separation of Church and State is one of the greatest blessings that we experience in North America. However, does the Separation of Church and State prohibit the legislation of morality? Ah, that is another question entirely...Tune in next time!

Grow a gardener Linda Boyd Interior Health Do your kids think peas come from a bag in the freezer? Do they know potatoes grow underground? Could they recognize a carrot growing if they saw the green tops poking out of the soil? A lot of parents and grandparents are realizing many of today’s children are growing up without an understanding of where their food really comes from. Perhaps you are a seasoned gardener or someone who has just started thinking about getting your hands dirty. I don’t have a lot of gardening experience my-

self, but I do try to grow a few things each year so my kids can appreciate how food is grown. Whatever your gardening experience may be, spring has sprung and now is the perfect time to think about planting and growing with your children. Young children have a natural curiosity about the world around them and gardening is a perfect way to tie in valuable lessons like patience — as they wait for vegetables to grow, responsibility — as they take over watering duties and the value of healthy eating — as children are often more enthusiastic about trying vegetables they have grown themselves.

Gardening doesn’t necessarily require a plot of land or hours of weeding. Gardening can happen in containers on a balcony or patio. In fact, many garden plants such as herbs, lettuce, radishes, and tomatoes do very well in containers. Raised beds can eliminate the need for weeding and are great for compact spaces. Try the square-foot garden method and give your child a square of their own to care for. This popular method teaches gardening skills without being overwhelming. Watching a plant grow

from a seed is like magic for young children, but slow germination rates can be trying for even the most patient child. Plant a mixture of seeds and potted plants to help keep their interest. Sunflowers and beans are fast growing plants from seed. My son started a sunflower from a seed at preschool last year and was absolutely amazed at how tall it grew; he was so proud to share the seeds with all of his little friends. If you lack suitable space to garden at home, consider renting a plot at a community garden. Involving

your kids in a community garden exposes them to an amazing variety of vegetables grown by many different gardeners. Kids and parents involved with community gardens also benefit from the wisdom of other gardeners. Connect with your local food action committee, community or health centre to find out if there is a community garden near you. If you have a child in school, ask if there is interest in starting a school garden. Linda Boyd is a community nutritionist with Interior Health.

Ferry fleet sails into storm

he B.C. government has rolled out its plan to reform BC Ferries, continuing the structural and cultural shift that started when the Crown corporation was quasi-privatized in the early years of B.C. Liberal rule. Politically, there is a lot at stake here. Premier Christy Clark’s year-long “families first” routine boils down to two projects, reining in rate increases at BC Hydro and BC Ferries. For weeks, Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom has been signaling there is bad news to come. Sparring with the NDP in question period, he has bluntly and repeatedly said the days of fully staffed vessels sailing with a third (or less) of their capacity are coming to an end. Tabling legislation to give the ferry commissioner new powers over service levels as well as fares, Lekstrom revealed $80 million worth of sugar to help the tough medicine go down over the next four years. That’s on top of the $150 million annual subsidy. Quadra Island politician Jim Abram was first out with the predictable view of the Gulf Islands elite, dismissing this sum as paltry. It’s difficult to capture how selfcentred and insulting this is, but I’ll try. Consider that the B.C. transportation ministry spent $460 million last year on highway operations. That’s

B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER

for the province’s entire vast, weather-battered road network. This year’s operating subsidy to coastal ferries is approaching $200 million, nearly half of that. And increasingly, it goes to subsidize getaways for those who choose isolation for its own sake. Basic financial information also exposes the falsity of NDP ferry critic Garry Coons’ one-note critique. It’s part of the highway system, he constantly says, comparing empty ferries with empty roads while ignoring the mandatory ferry staff and other costs. This fiscal-fantasy policy implies another huge increase in subsidy, much of it a transfer from working people to the idle rich who can afford Gulf Islands real estate. Coons can’t say how much, probably because he has no idea. A key legislative change will allow BC Ferries to use revenues from its profitable

main routes to subsidize little-used runs. This would be even more important if those revenues hadn’t been squandered. And no, I’m not talking about the “fast ferries.” The story is detailed in Head On! a 2004 book by former B.C. deputy highways minister R.G. Harvey. He describes how the Mike Harcourt government completed the “gross error” of building a new terminal at Duke Point, near Nanaimo.

This run was to take truck and other traffic from congested Horseshoe Bay to the mid-Island from Tsawwassen. An alternative route from Richmond to Gabriola Island, with bridges to Vancouver Island, had been quietly scuttled after the W.A.C. Bennett government was defeated by the NDP’s Dave Barrett in 1972. On a map, it’s clear this would have been the shortest route. Harvey says it would

have cut travel time by half, and likely replaced the congested Horseshoe Bay dock. But Barrett would have had to tell his Nanaimo ferry union supporters that they were losing half their work hours. Tsawwassen to Duke Point is 65 km, compared to 54 km from Horseshoe Bay to Departure Bay. A ferry worker’s shift includes two round trips and loading time. On the Duke Point run this meant at least eight and

a half hours, “thus ensuring the crew at least one hour at double time daily and often more,” Harvey writes. “Later it became a scheduled overtime route.” Something to keep in mind as Adrian Dix and his crew of union bosses prepare to take the helm.

Potato Dreams premieres on July 4 The Potato Dreams play will be performed for the first time on July 4 in conjunction with the Station House Galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening reception of the summer show Community Roots, says artistic director Debra McNie. The audience will have the option to view the gallery exhibit first then go to the Potato House where they will watch Potato Dreams, McNie says. Gallery openings have been moved from Thursdays to Wednesdays through the summer months to accommodate Performances in the Park which take place in Boitanio Park on Thursdays. The Station House Galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer show Community Roots is inspired by the Potato House Sustainability Project. The deadline for artists to submit artwork inspired by the Potato House is coming up on May 31 at 5 p.m. For more details on artist submissions contact Beth or Diane at the Station House Gallery 250-392-6113 or Leah at leahtard@ hotmail.com The Community Roots exhibition will run at the Station House July 6 to Sept. 1. Actors who won

Debra McNie photo parts in the Potato Dreams play and others interested in participating in the production are invited to a play workshop this Sunday, May 20, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Centre next to city hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The workshop will include improvisation, theatre games, movement, and drumming all for the purpose of bringing together the individual pieces that will begin to create Potato Dreams,â&#x20AC;? says artistic director Debra McNie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking for people to help behind the scenes as well.â&#x20AC;?

Grad Nails Set of nails & pedicure with $99 gelish on toes

Potato Dreams is set in the mid 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. A young girl named Isabella is being raised alone by her father as her mother Alma (which means spirit) passed away when Isabella was just a five years old. The young girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents immigrated to Canada in the mid1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and settled with just enough money to buy a small house in a very small village. Peggy McKinlay, McNieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspiration for the present day Isabella is assisting her in editing the script she has written for the play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chris Hutton will

play Andre, young Isabellaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father,â&#x20AC;? McNie says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Young Isabella is yet to be cast but there are a few young gals being considered.â&#x20AC;? McNie says Sandi Alaric, (a noted lakecity singer and musical theatre director) has agreed to play the role of the adult Isabella. An original Potato Dreams song is being written by Pharis and Jason Romero. Some of the dream sequences in process are One Potato by Carl Johnson including an original song by Johnson; Magical Jesaja created and performed by Jesaja Class; Urban Indian, written by Helen Sandy, and performed by Pow Wow and Hip Hop dancers. Will Reierson is creating an original drum song and his mother Barbara Flach joins him during the song. A sequence called Sustainable Mammaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s has been written, staged and performed by Mary Forbes and Juli Harland. Likely Day Drama Camp led by Venta Rutkauskas is writing Yukon Gold which will be performed by the children of the day camp. Spirit is being performed by Lana Wright

Legion ladies night another smash hit There was a full house again for the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 139’s third Hell Yes, ladies night dinner event held in Williams Lake, Wednesday, May 16. The roast beef dinner with all the trimmings was followed by a fashion show featuring clothing from Suzanne’s & Jenny’s, Cariboo Spurs Apparel and Tack and Best Friends Fashions. Featured models were the 2012 Stampede Queen contestants. After the fashion show members of the Lake City Derby Girls roller derby league demonstrated the line dancing moves they have been learning on the Wednesday evening dance nights at the legion. Anyone can go to the legion on Wednesday nights to learn different types of dancing. The derby girls are raising money for their sport with line dancing exhibitions. Pictured here are team members Tanya Seland, (left) a newcomer who hasn’t decided on her derby name yet, Stephanie Ferrari AKA Kriminal Kute, Tamara Garreau AKA Mara-Nator, and Amy Lucas, AKA Red Rum.

Cariboo Gold and Quintet Plus honour dynamic three in concert The Williams Lake Cariboo Gold Dance Band and Quintet Plus choir are teaming up to bring the community a special evening of music May 25. That Swing Thing will include two new songs written and directed by Cariboo Gold director Rocco Catalano. “Every couple of years or so, the Cariboo Gold Dance Band and Quintet Plus join musical forces to present an evening of varied instrumental and vocal music,” Catalano says. “This year, at 7 p.m. on May 25 at St. Andrews United Church, we present That Swing Thing for your listening pleasure.” He says several original choral arrangements have been written so that Quintet Plus can join the Cariboo Gold Dance Band in perfor-

mance. Among the songs, Catalano has also written an original song dedicated to Terry Fox, Steve Fonyo, and Rick Hansen, titled Terry, Steve, and Rick. This song will be premiered by the two groups at the end of the concert, Catalano says. Directed by Catalano, the Cariboo Gold Dance Band is a group of some 15 musicians and two vocalists who share a love for the swing music of the 1940’s and 50’s. The band first came together in 1982 with about eight musicians. Their repertoire includes a broad spectrum of musical genres including Swing, Dixie, Latin, Blues, Jazz, Broadway hits as well as some Western pieces. The mixed voices

Quintet Plus choir won the high point choir award at Cariboo Festival 2012 earlier this spring and their director Debbie Browning won the musical directorship award. “We are a non-auditioned choir and welcome all voices, young and ‘young at heart’ alike,” member Jean-

nine Morgan says. “We sing everything from Bach to the Beatles and then some.” That Swing Thing is a benefit concert for the United Church local outreach in the Williams Lake area and for the Cariboo Music Festival Society. Admission is by donation.

Good Things Come in Small Packages JEAN ATKINSON Richbar Golf and Gardens Good things do come in small packages, especially plants. No, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not talking about seed packages but varieties of shrubs that have all the great qualities of their parent plants but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get quite as big. These new varieties are very handy in small spaces or for those of us who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get around to pruning like we should. I love using Hydrangea paniculataâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Limelightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in my landscape designs. It can reach a height and spread of 2 m, which makes it a beautiful backdrop or hedge. In summer, full bright chartreuse green flowers cover the sturdy canes. As the season progresses the flowers become dusted with shades of pink. Lime-

light is a tough shrub, hardy in zone 3. But not everyone has room for this great shrub once it matures. Now, Proven Winners have developed the dwarf â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Little Limeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hydrangea. It is also easy to grow, hardy and has those big beautiful chartreuse flowers but only grows to a third to half the size of Limelight. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mature height and spread is 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 1.5 m. â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Little Limeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; grows in full sun to partial shade, making it a very valuable plant in the landscape. Another valuable shrub is Physocarpus opulifolius â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sewardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, or more commonly known as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Summerwineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ninebark. This Proven Winner plant has been available for a few years now. Years ago the parent plant â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Diabloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ninebark was a hit in all the garden

centers. Everyone was drawn to the dark reddish purple foliage. It does however; reach a height of 2m. That isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a problem if you are looking for a taller screen. It can easily be controlled in size by pruning but letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be honest, not everyone

gets around to these chores. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Summerwineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rarely needs pruning as it has a natural compact habit of 1.5m height and spread. The deeply cut crimson â&#x20AC;&#x201C;red leaves have a finer texture than â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Diabloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; but have the same pinkish â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

white button like flowers in summer. They even make an interesting cut flower. I find the more sun exposure the plant receives, the darker the leaves are. Ninebarks are one tough group of plants; disease and pest resistant, drought tolerant and hardy (zone 3). If you are just new to gardening or are looking for shrubs that take up a little less of your time I would highly recommend â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Summerwineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ninebark or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Little Limeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Hydrangea. I will be discussing these and other low maintenance tree and shrubs this Sat. April 28 at 10:30 am. The free seminar called First Impressions will teach you simple design techniques to create a welcome and attractive front entrance to your home.

A Rain Garden In Williams Lake and some of the surrounding area where the dry interior weather takes its toll on water loving plants, there are some ways to provide moister environments for those not so â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;drought tolerantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plants. A rain garden is a garden area designed to make use of rainwater run off from roofs and driveways. Pick your location â&#x20AC;&#x201C; either at the base of a downspout from your house gutter, or on a downhill slope where rain naturally pools and snowmelt gathers in spring. Another creative way to design a rain garden is to direct rainwater from your roof down a rock or gravel path to your planned garden area. The illusion of a dry creek bed is very effective visually as a landscape feature. Other benefits of considering a rain garden include being low main-

tenance and saving you time and money otherwise spent on excess watering. Rainwater is oxygen-filled, warmer than tap/well water and provides plants with water neutral in ph, free of salts, minerals, and chlorine. It is more efficient than treated well water at dissolving the nutrients in the soil and passing those on to the plants. Planning your garden involves first determining what type of soil you have â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is it sandy

with good drainage, or is it loam or clay that retains moisture? Dig your garden area 8â&#x20AC;? deep in the middle for sandy soil areas, and up to 20â&#x20AC;? deep if your soil has water retainingclay. Mix your soil with compost (25%), topsoil (25%) and sand (50%), then slope the sides of your garden gradually upward if planting down slope (versus under a drain spout). On the slopes plant more drought tolerant plants,

while more water loving plants should be located in the deepest area of the garden. Native plant choices such as wetland edge wildflowers, rushes, shrubs, sedges and small trees are an excellent choice. These plants are well adapted to the swings in temperature and weather in the Cariboo. Where the soil dries out quickly, refer to our Water Wise Plant guide on line at www.ccconserv.org and go to the Water Wise section for brochures on: Harvesting Rainwater: Rain Barrels & Rain Gardens, Xeriscape Gardening, and the popular Water Wise Plant Guide for the Williams Lake region. You can also pick these up at your local garden centre in Williams Lake. For more on native plants, a great reference book is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plants of Southern Interior British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;? edited by Ray Coupe, Roberta Parish and Dennis Lloyd.

SPRING 2012

Compost is every plantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite food The very best food for any plant is wellbalanced organic matter obtained from domestic compost. This mixture will change depending on what your family eats, but it will always be beneficial for your garden. And because domestic compost is made from readily available plant waste, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost you a cent! Once mixed in, compost gives more consistency to sandy soils and improves their ability to retain moisture. It helps aerate clay soils, making them easier to work with, and it also contains high levels of good bacteria to help

you in your gardening efforts. In other words, compost will increase your gardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s productivity. Here are a few of the ingredients necessary for a well-balanced compost recipe: dry or freshly mown grass cuttings (yours or your neighboursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;!), dead plants and leaves, pine needles, and kitchen waste (cooked or raw fruits and vegetables and egg shells). A compost pile should always remain moist, so be sure to water it during dry spells, and turn it over once a month with a pitchfork. In June, add a 1- to 2-centimetre layer of compost around let-

Compost makes for lush vegetation and glorious flowers.

tuce plants and annual flowers. In August, add it around roses and perennials. Use a handful of compost when planting bulbs in September, as well as every time you plant trees, shrubs, and conifers. Making compost is really very simple, requiring little more than a concern for the environment, a sheltered corner in the garden, a few plants, and about ten minutes per week. And if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have all the necessary ingredients, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry: you can always buy your compost in a bag at the garden centre or hardware store.

Creating coolness in the garden During the long hot days of summer, who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dream of a shady corner in a lushly planted yard where one can relax and escape the stifling heat. To create a shady area in your yard, plant a few trees in a strategic spot. With a bit of time and patience youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to relax in their cooling shade, especially if you choose a fast-growing species. Another, faster way to create shade is to build a wall of trellises, which can then be covered with climbing plants. You could also install a pergola, increasingly popular with gardeners. This is a small structure, made with horizontal beams and columns, which can be used to support climbing plants. For either of these ideas, be sure to think carefully about the positioning in order to make the most of the shade they will provide.

Compost makes for lush vegetation and glorious flowers. A water garden is also a great way to add coolness to a backyard. This kind of project entails a lot of work, of course, but the results are bound to be very

satisfying. You could also think about adding a pump with a water jet to your pond. This will not only help to lower the water temperature but will also aerate the water

for the benefit of your aquatic plants. What joy, to relax in the cooler air created by your water garden and in the shade of a tree you planted with your own hands!
