Hydro rate trimmed for 2013 Tom Fletcher Black Press Despite controversial private power contracts and approval of two pricy dam refits, BC Hydro’s rate increase will be only 1.44 per cent next year, Energy Minister Rich Coleman announced Tuesday. Coleman said the B.C. government is instructing the B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC) to limit rate increases to a total of 17 per cent for the three-year period ending April 1, 2014. With rates up 7.1 per cent since April of this year and last year’s eight-per-cent hike, the 1.44 per cent increase for next year is to meet a political commitment made by Coleman

and Premier Christy Clark last year to reduce planned rate increases by half. The smallest rate increase in years is to take effect April 1, 2013, just weeks before the next provincial election. And the latest government instruction means a BCUC public hearing on the latest rates won’t proceed. Coleman said in an interview the directed increase was not done for election purposes, but because it was the simplest way to proceed. A “negotiated settlement” with major ratepayer groups means a BCUC hearing that could run for months isn’t necessary, he said. NDP energy critic John Horgan said Tuesday the government’s move is the latest in a series of political in-

terventions into BC Hydro policy. It forced the utility to buy private power on expensive long-term contracts, it imposed the smart meter program and moved ahead on the Site C dam on the Peace River, all without review by the BCUC to see if they are in the best interests of ratepayers, he said. “This is a Crown corporation, the envy of North America, and these guys have run it into the ditch,” Horgan said. Coleman launched a review of BC Hydro last year, after Clark spoke out against the prospect of a 50 per cent increase in hydro rates expected over five years. The review by deputy ministers said reducing BC Hydro staff and in-

house engineering, along with other cost-saving measures, would meet the government’s target of keeping annual rate increases below four per cent. But the BCUC’s rate hearings pushed the increase for the current year up to 7.1 per cent, to increase repayment of debt that has been stacked up in recent years. Auditor General John Doyle issued a report last year that said the government was taking annual dividends from BC Hydro that were not justified by its earnings, and the utility was increasing deferred debt as a result. Coleman announced Tuesday that the province was able to reach its rate goal by forgoing $75 million in dividends over three years.

WL Chapter of MADD AGM Tuesday, June 5 The Williams Lake Chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving will hold its annual general meeting at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, June 5 at the Community Policing/ Williams Lake Downtown Business Improvement Area Association office. On May 29, 2010, the Williams Lake Chapter of MADD opened its garden in Boitanio Park, offering a spot for people to sit and remember loved ones killed or injured by impaired driving. The chapter has just redone the plaques that

were in the garden and says the new plaques will stand the test of time much better. Anyone who would like to put a plaque in the garden for a loved one can contact the chapter at 250-267-2809 or maddwilliamslake@live.com. The new plaques cost the Chapter $250, but are asking the families for only $50 of that — the chapter will cover the rest. The chapter is also looking for volunteers. Anyone wanting to join is asked to contact the Williams Lake Chapter of MADD.

AN APPLE A DAY... World No Tobacco Day is on Thursday, May 31 this year. This is a World Health Organization-sanctioned day to highlight all that’s bad about smoking. Tobacco use is one of the leading preventable causes of death. It’s a global epidemic that kills nearly 6 million people yearly. Make every day a no tobacco day. There are really only 4 pain-relievers on the market in Canada available without a prescription. They are ASA, acetaminophen, naprozen and ibuprofen. Choosing the right one can be difficult. Our pharmacists can help. Many people over the age of 50 are deficient in magnesium and this could raise their risk of stroke. Men need 420mg per day while women need 320mg. You get magnesium from foods such as beans (chick, kidney, black, soy), spinach, halibut, almonds, cashews and yogurt. If you don’t eat these foods, there are supplements available to make up the difference. The Amazon jungle has long been a source of new drugs. Now, the Chinese are looking at traditional Chinese medicines, trying to isolate the main chemical responsible for their positive effect on certain medical conditions. They have already found a product for malaria and soon one for atrial fibrillation. These drugs will be available in China first then soon worldwide. Our pharmacists work hard to keep on top of the latest in drug research. If it’s new or coming soon, we will know about it. Questions? Ask us.

Potential dog park location altered Monica Lamb-Yorski Tribune Staff Writer While it’s still going to be in Boitanio Park, the designated location of the new dog park is being slightly altered. It’s further southwest than the original location between the skate park and picnic shelter.

The dog park committee did a walkabout with city staff and determined a more suitable location, coun. Laurie Walters said. “It had more character, more trees for shading and was all around more suitable so we put forward the recommendation.” A report from the general manager of planning

and operations outlines there is $15,000 put aside to cover the cost of a fence for the park. “The committee will fundraise for any extra costs. It might not all happen at once, but our intent is to fence the area and get it up and running,” Walters explained. “Irrigation, benches and other items will have to

be covered with fundraising.” There are many more details to be ironed out around advertising, and signage, and council will receive more reports as the project develops. Most of council approved the new location; however, Coun. Danica Hughes voted against it. “I’m not opposed

to a dog park but I am opposed to it being in Boitanio Park because of the apartments and residences that surround Boitanio Park that are not allowed to have animals,” Hughes said, adding if the city is thinking long term it would be better to locate the park at the end of Oliver Street so it can tie into trails.

Organizations receive invasive plant funding istry or adversely affect commercial crops. “Once invasive plants take root in a specific area, it can be extremely difficult to protect native species,” says CaribooChilcotin MLA Donna Barnett. “I know this funding will go a long way in helping combat this rural issue.” Methods used to minimize the spread of invasive plants include mechanical treatments (physical removal or destruction), chemical treatments (targeted use of herbicides), and biological controls (using an invasive plant’s natural predators to control its growth).

The man who forgot to plant

he leaves are unfurling on the trees and the potatoes are in the ground. Every year as I drop my seed potatoes into the soil I think about a story from my childhood about a man who homesteaded nearby. As a bachelor he often visited the neighbours both for company and the chance to partake in some home cooking. One of his neighbour’s wives peppered her sentences with “By Gee Whiz!” so often the bachelor took to teasingly calling her By Gee Whiz, as if that were her name. Like so many of those early homesteader women, “By Gee Whiz” was hard working, generous hearted and a fantastic cook. She was also known for her fabulous garden. Needless to say, her family’s home was a favourite destination for the bachelor. One sunny afternoon in July he stopped by and was invited in for dinner featuring new potatoes freshly dug from her garden. After the delicious meal he hurried

SLICE OF LIFE SHANNON McKINNON

home, anxious to check on how his own potatoes were coming along. Later he related the shocking outcome of his search. “I came home, went out to the garden and what do you think?” he asked. “I forgot to plant!” He had poked around in his weed choked garden without success and then found the seed potatoes shrivelled up in a paper bag in the porch right where he had left them. By the time I heard the story it was well over three decades old and the man who forgot to plant had long since moved on. Still, the story was often repeated because people found it funny; even the man himself was said to have

laughed uproariously as he told on himself. But as a child I wasn’t so sure about the funny factor. A gifted worrier, I spent an unseemly amount of time puzzling in private over how The Man Who Forgot to Plant managed to survive. I’d lay awake picturing him in his little log house with the winter winds howling about the corners, his empty potato bin yawning like an unfed wild thing down in the cellar. My grandparents settled here in 1930 on a homestead only five miles from where I live today … and the farm I was raised on is a mile closer than that! I grew up listening to stories about the challenges of those early years. Vegetable gardens were a pretty big deal in the late 1930s when all this took place. Back then — keeping in mind the Peace Country was one of the last areas in Canada to be settled — a trip to town still involved a horse and wagon and a month’s worth of planning. And even if you

could get to town, it was the Great Depression and money was scarce. Without a garden to fill in the gaps there was no doubt about it; you were facing a long, hungry winter. The best you could hope for was a good crop of wild berries and maybe a moose. With every quarter section settled up, and every homesteader packing a gun, competition for any wild game was fierce. Today moose wander through our yard on a daily basis to lick our tires, munch on the roses and nap in the garden. But back then a set of moose tracks was an exciting sight. I remember asking if The Man Who Forgot to Plant was an exceptional hunter or known for berry picking but to my great distress, no one could recall. I wondered if he had kept a milk cow or perhaps a small flock of laying hens. Maybe he was able to barter for vegetables with cream and eggs. Or at the very least, he could drink the milk and eat the eggs him-

self. My anxious inquiries revealed he likely had neither. In desperation I turned to those other staples of a northern wintertime diet — turnips, cabbage and onions. Just because he had failed to plant potatoes didn’t necessarily mean he hadn’t planted anything else. In my little heart I knew my reasoning was faulty and so I didn’t dare ask any more questions. Instead I chose to think of him eating hearty meals of turnips, cabbage and onions. Maybe he just visited By Gee Whiz a lot. It’s funny the stories that stick with you. It’s funny to think of what a little worrier I was. Funnier yet is how I still roll it around in my mind every spring come potato planting time. I may not forget to plant, but I will never forget the man who forgot. Shannon McKinnon is a humour columnist from Northern BC.

B.C. committee rejects pesticide ban Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. Liberal majority on a legislative committee has recommended against a province-wide ban on cosmetic pesticide use, after a year of hearing from farmers, foresters, environmental organizations and interested citizens. Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett chaired the committee whose four B.C. Liberal members outvoted three NDP members calling for a provincewide ban on common household herbicides, insecticides and fungicides used for visual effect. The majority recommended that retail sales should be treated similar to tobacco, kept out of sight and available only by request from someone with training in how to use the chemicals. Bennett said the most compelling testimony came from a representative of Health Canada, which approves such products for use across the country. The commit-

tee was told that B.C. was the first province to ask Health Canada before considering such a ban, and that imposing one would be a political rather than a public health choice, Bennett said. Bennett noted that only five per cent of pesticide application is by household users, using products diluted 100 times or more below the level that shows effects in the most sensitive animal species. The widespread belief that common lawn and garden products cause harm when used as directed is based on “chemophobia” and a lack of scientific literacy, Bennett said. “The majority of the committee concluded that we could not justify second-guessing the 350 scientists who work at Health Canada,” Bennett said. NDP environment critic Rob Fleming noted that Premier Christy Clark formed the committee after publicly agreeing with NDP leader Adrian Dix that the cosmetic pesticide ban should

be enacted. A province-wide ban would equalize a patchwork of municipal restrictions around the province and stop retail sales the public, he said. The committee’s recommendations go

against up to 80 per cent of public opinion, and would leave B.C. “dead last” in provincial regulations, Fleming said. Bennett said he discussed the recommendations with Clark before she left on a trade

out of harm’s way and heard while the storm sewer line goes through a fairly flat area, the out fall line that the city will be auguring in is going to be in a very active area. “The plan is to augur it very deep so it will be well under the existing cliffs that are there,” Goodall said. “Our hope is even if there was a slide that occurred, it would be so deep that it wouldn’t impact it.” Goodall said this time around, it’s a fairly unique process because the work has has to be completed quickly. Staff met with TRUE consultants last week to determine how the work can be designed so that it can be completed as soon as possible. “We’re now confident that we can bring the project in two phases,

and tender both phases. They will be normal tender processes, but we’ll

have to speed up the process and are confident we can get the tender out for

Friday, May 25, 2012 Williams Lake Weekend

Published by Black Press 188 N. 1st Avenue Williams Lake BC, V2G 1Y8

Premier bitten by pest problem P

remier Christy Clark has a new political problem buzzing around her office. A year ago, the newly appointed premier was looking to change the channel for an unpopular government grappling with the fallout of the harmonized sales tax. Newly appointed NDP leader Adrian Dix was touting an idea that is all the rage with urban folks, a ban on “cosmetic pesticides.” All the better B.C. communities already have one, starting with Clark’s old stomping ground of Port Moody in 2003. So she figured she’d better run to the front of this parade, swipe a popular policy from the opposition and do something to redefine the B.C. Liberal Party after the tax-cutting, regulationrepealing decade of Gordon Campbell. But first an all-party committee would hold hearings around the province, chaired by Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett. Bennett presented the committee’s report last week, and one could see what was coming. Bennett is the rifletoting outdoorsman who recently called on his government to abandon the carbon tax, saying it’s silly to keep pretending B.C. can change the world’s climate. He was recently appointed by Clark to co-chair the B.C. Liberal Party policy committee for next year’s election, a

B.C. VIEWS TOM FLETCHER

strong signal of the party’s rightward shift in response to the B.C. Conservative threat. Bennett concluded after 10 months of hearings that the public aversion to common lawn and garden herbicides is based on “chemophobia” that flourishes due to scientific illiteracy. That statement is both politically dangerous and absolutely correct. I first covered this issue in the Okanagan 25 years ago, when environmentalists fought the use of Roundup by the forests ministry to knock down brush and promote new trees. The evidence boils down to this: these complex organic compounds break down in a short period to simpler, common components that pose no threat. Thus, with buffer zones around watercourses and temporary entry restrictions, they are safe. Unfortunately, most people know little or nothing about chemistry and refuse to believe this. It’s part of

the scientific nonsense trend that has grown in B.C. society for decades. We have parents turning their backs on routine immunization because of superstitions about vaccines. We have people panicked about imaginary health effects of smart meters, egged on by shoddy, sensationalist media reporting. The parallels between local government responses to smart meter hysteria and this scientifically ignorant push against “pesticides” is tell-

ing. As Bennett put it, when someone becomes convinced her child is at risk, “that mum is pretty darn compelling when she goes to council.” Few have the courage to stand up to that. The committee sought advice from Health Canada, whose scientists approve conditions of use for chemicals. Health Canada representative Lindsay Hansen said B.C. was the first province to ask for its advice, despite the fact that most provinces have imposed bans. These

bans are political, not public safety measures, University of Guelph toxicologist Keith Solomon told MLAs. The committee also learned that “cosmetic” use accounts for only five per cent of pesticide use. Most of it is in agriculture, forestry and commercial pest control, with no ban proposed. MLAs in farming areas signalled their concern over the effect of this urban gesture politics. Backyard fruit trees go unsprayed and pests spread to orchards and

fields. We have large areas of agricultural land reserve, but 85 per cent of the people who live in those areas don’t farm. The NDP is content to fan public fear and ignore evidence, as with smart meters and oil pipelines. The premier has a choice here. She can do the popular thing, or the right thing.

With Facebook going public and the attention that has been placed on social media, one wonders what it means to be social. According to Wikipedia, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;socialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; refers to a characteristic of living organisms as applied to both the humans and animal population. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Socialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; refers to the interaction of organisms with one another and to their collective co-existence, irrespective of whether they are aware of it or not, and irrespective of whether the interaction is voluntary or involuntary. I believe â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;socialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; means to interact with others through any means, including technical apparatuses, internet, telephone, video, and face to face. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Socialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; simply means to be in relationship with other people. According to experts, social media has many benefits. Social media such as Facebook or Myspace offer opportunities for individuals who have difficulty meeting others with a way to interact. However; if social media is their only form of contact, seclusion and isolation are still a danger. There is much to be said about meeting with people face to face. Through personal contact we observe body language, giving an insight into emotions and

BY BY Captain Captain Randy Randy feelings, enabling us to learn more about a person. Through personal contact we are able to connect at a deeper level. In a letter to the Hebrews, the writer states â&#x20AC;&#x153;23 We must continue to hold firmly to our declaration of faith. The one who made the promise is faithful. 24 We must also consider how to encourage each other to show love and to do good things. 25 We should not stop gathering together with other believers, as some of you are doing. Instead, we must continue to encourage each other even more as we see the day of the Lord coming. Meeting together as a group of believers gives us the opportunity

to connect with one another. Sharing with others our needs and showing our caring for one another. The writer of Hebrews states that it is the gathering of people that is important, not the method used in communicating. When gathering together we become an encouragement one to another. Encouragement comes not only from our words, but also from our actions. A smile can bring relief and release within a soul. Laughter can bring joy to a heart. A gentle touch can bring comfort. Jesus promised his followers that when they gather He would be in the midst of them. Matthew 18:19-20 19 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven: 20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.â&#x20AC;? I encourage connecting with others through social media tools such as Facebook and Myspace for there you will find millions of people waiting to hear about the love of Jesus. Then join with others in person, sharing the joy of gathering together to encourage one another to the coming of Jesus.

10 Cariboo Idol winners Cariboo Idol auditions were held May 14-16 at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre. This year’s top 10 Cariboo Idols are Canim Lake’s Kira Saenger; 100 Mile’s Jillian Thomson, 108 Mile’s Mikayla Mosher, 150 Mile’s Mark Gilman, Amber Bowen and Oren Barter from Williams Lake, Brett Myrfield from Williams Lake, Kenny Sperling of 100 Mile, Jason Ruscheinsky of Roe Lake, and John Goodwin of Quesnel. The competitors ranged in age from 13 to 64 years old and came from as far away as Quesnel and Williams Lake to audition. Organizer Rob Fry says he was “pleasantly surprised” with the talent and turnout. “I feel this will be a fun group to work with this year.” This year, the idols will be playing their own instruments or be accompanied by musicians. They will be having the freedom to mix things up a bit during the concerts this year by performing together with other Idols on stage. Fry says he appreciates everyone who came out to audition, and if they did not make it through this year, he urges them to practice and come out and audition again next year. He also thanks Canlan Ice Sports for the use of the 100 Mile House arena and meeting room. Fry will be interview-

ing the Idols live on his online radio station, Caribooradio.com, as well as having them play a few songs at the station throughout the day. Noting it was the first time for some of them

on stage, he says that even with some stage nerves, everyone worked through it and did very well at their first two concerts of the season. This included the Louisiana Hayride and Family

Barn Dance in the 100 Mile House area. The Idols’ next performance will be at the Relay for Life at Centennial Park in 100 Mile House on June 9, and their summer schedule of shows.

Jakob Larmand Runs for Kids Kids Running for Kids team members Jacob (left), mom Wendy and Jared share their story in support of the team fundraising efforts which will include a garage sale this Saturday, May 26 at Mountview Elementary School. Photo submitted

Angela Manning Special to theTribune In the spring of 2000, Wendy and Dan Larmand started tossing around ideas for their son’s first birthday party. They decided a quiet family event at their home in the Okanagan would be appropriate as their birthday boy, Jakob, was showing flu-like symptoms and had been a little rundown. Like most toddlers, Jakob was usually active and enjoyed socializing with the family’s daycare children. Jakob developed baby roseaola, a common viral infection in children which shows up as a rash with a fever. Wendy visited the hospital emergency room to confirm that her son’s fatigue was only as a result of the virus. As days went on, Jakob’s spirits didn’t pick up. Being concerned, Wendy returned to the hospital to have Jakob assessed.

They left yet again with a diagnosis of the common cold. As time went on, Jakob’s lack of energy didn’t return. Soon after, Wendy entered Jakob’s bedroom to get him from his afternoon nap. To her horror, Jakob couldn’t even rise to his hands and knees. She scooped him from his crib and he collapsed in her arms. They rushed to the hospital not knowing what to expect. Jakob was immediately attended to by a pediatrician who advised that the boy’s immune system was depleted; he

was dehydrated, and was ordered to stay in hospital for a 24 hour assessment. Jakob’s vivacious personality had now totally disappeared as his body lost all strength. Within the following 48-hour period, Jakob was given a chest X-ray which revealed pneumonia. He was immediately administered antibiotics and was scheduled for a spinal tap. Within 45 minutes of the spinal tap, results brought fears of meningitis, the dreaded bacterial infection of the membranes covering the brain

and spinal cord. The infection had travelled from Jakob’s lungs to his bloodstream and into his brain. The next few weeks were spent in Kelowna General Hospital where Jakob made recovery progress. The Larmand family was put in contact with a physical therapist to help Jakob rebuild his strength and skills to crawl and walk again. Though Wendy and Dan were exhausted from watching their first born endure such illness, they were ecstatic to

bring him home. Life at the Larmand residence carried on with Jakob returning to his contented self. Though Wendy’s mother noticed something wasn’t “right,” she would kindly suggest to Wendy and Dan that she thought Jakob’s hearing had been affected. Wendy, being a protective mother, could not bear to think such a thing until one evening when Dan returned home from work. Jakob was sitting on the living room floor surrounded by toys but facing the opposite side of the room that Dan entered. Wendy watched Jakob for a reaction that his father was home — Jakob usually let out a shriek of excitement. This day there nothing from Jakob, not a squeal and not even any body movement to acknowledge his father’s entrance. See RAFFLE Page A20

he responded to words again, and he could fully enjoy all the sounds in life that many of us take for granted. He could again be amused by the sound making toys that made him squeal in delight. Over the following years, Jakob’s hearing system has been upgraded. Jakob has continued regular check-ups at BC Children’s Hospital. He is now finishing Grade 7 as a diligent student. Jakob shines both academically and physically. Jakob is one of our runners with Kids Running for Kids. The Larmand family are thankful for the expertise at such a great facility — BC Children’s Hospital. In doing their part to fundraise for Kids Running for Kids, the Larmand family are heading the last raffle for this group. Tickets are now on sale for $5 each or 5 $20. First place is a limited edition framed print by Arnold Mosley, “Breaking the Morning Chill.” Second place is a Vancouver Fun Package consisting of four passes to a Ladies Vancouver Whitecaps game, four PNE passes, four Big Bus passes, four Vancouver Aquarium passes, and two Wildplay Maple Ridge passes.

News

Raffle started Continued from A18 As Wendy spoke to Dan, she realized that Jakob still didn’t turn their way. Wendy’s mind replayed her mother’s concerns, what if he really can’t hear us? Fearfully, Wendy grabbed two pots and banged them right behind Jakob’s head. To her sadness, Jakob didn’t even flinch. The medical staff in Kelowna tried to help Jakob with his hearing issues by fitting him with hearing aids. These aids did nothing but annoy the child. With the help of their physical therapist, the Larmands had Jakob booked in at BC Children’s Hospital for hearing tests. Unfortunately, the results were disappointing; Jakob had no response to sounds. A CAT scan then revealed total deafness in his left ear and resulted in an emergency cochlear implant in his right ear. A cochlear implant is a surgically implanted electronic device which provides a sense of sound to a person who is profoundly deaf or hard of hearing. At 17 months of age, Jakob was the youngest person in B.C. to have such surgery. The cochlear implant would slowly diminish the use of sign language that the Larmand family had resorted to use. Jakob independently chose not to use sign language as a primary source of communication. He persevered to use his voice in interactions. Jakob finally returned to his happy demeanor,

I hate to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;digâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; up bad memories, but, do you remember the wet summer we had last year? I know most of you would rather forget but there is a reason for the flashback. Last year was a terrible year for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;potato blightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;late blightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The blight, Phytophthora infestans is the very same fungus that caused the Great Irish Famine in the late 1840s. Do you remember those dark blotches that

appeared on the leaves and stems? In some cases, all the foliage turned black and died back right to the ground. The tubers had a brown decay starting at the skin and eventually caused the tuber to rot. Seemingly healthy potatoes later rotted in storage. Blame it on the weather and P. infestans. The spores of this fungus over-winter in the soil. That is why it is so important to rotate your crops this new gardening season. Do not plant either potatoes or toma-

toes in the same location as last year. Potato Blight also overwinters in any tubers that were left in the ground. So get rid of those new â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;volunteersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; as soon as they pop up. It is important to remove all of the infected tubers from the soil. It is better to burn infected foliage rather than compost it. Sometimes the compost isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hot enough to kill the spores on the leaves. To reduce the risk of infection only plant certified seed that is free of late blight. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t over-

crowd plants. Plant seed potatoes 40 cm (16â&#x20AC;?) apart in the row and have rows 90cm (3ft.) apart. Avoid excessive vegetative growth resulting from over-fertilizing or overwatering. Irrigate early in the morning so foliage has a chance to dry out during the day. Tomatoes are in the same family as potatoes so do not plant these in the same location as the infected potatoes. This year we have a new variety of tomato that is tolerant to the late blight disease. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lizzanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a

Plant a container garden Most gardeners who grow vegetables do so in the rich earth of their backyards. But what can you do if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that kind of space available? A container gardens is an increasingly popular solution, one that also adds to the beauty of your yard. In fact, gardeners throughout history have been

growing flowers, herbs, and ornamental plants in all kinds of pots. Some vegetables, such as lettuce and tomatoes, give very good results. The roots of these vegetables adapt well to the confines of a small space and develop quickly. As soon as you have mastered the art of growing simple plants,

you could try more challenging vegetables. Squash and cucumbers, for example, flourish in large pots. Some varieties of squash are also quite decorative with their big yellow flowers. Herbs adapt particularly well to containers, and some of them will be able to be brought inside for winter.

In some ways, container gardening is even simpler than gardening directly in the ground, due in large part to the fact that no weeding is required. The drawback to a container garden is that it will need to be watered at least once a day, or even more during hot weather. Also keep in mind that pots must be

big enough for roots to develop properly, and of course that will depend on the kind of vegetable youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re growing. Self-watering containers can be a help for forgetful gardeners, as they have built-in water reservoirs that allow plants access to water whenever necessary. This type of container is available

Hostas: multigenerational plants Hostas are vigorous plants which, once planted, can live for thirty years or more. Contrary to other perennials, which are usually appreciated for the beauty of their flowers, hostas are noted for the richness of their foliage. Their distinctive leaves are green, variegated, golden, or they might even have a touch of blue, bringing vividness and texture to flower beds and borders. Hostas are perfect plants for the inexperienced gardener. They are easy to grow and thrive equally well in shade or sun. They are best suited to soils rich in compost, so no other fertilizer is necessary. That is a great advantage, especially for new gardeners! Another un-

Hostas are easy to grow and thrive equally well in shade or sun deniable advantage: because of their profuse, tightly packed foliage,

hostas will never be invaded by weeds, saving hours of backbreaking

work. Even though hostas are drought tolerant, it is preferable to spread

mulch around them. This conserves the moist coolness of the soil, which these oriental plants love so much. The main enemy of hostas are slugs, who also love cool, moist places. Even though garden centres do stock effective slug bait, some hosta varieties are more resistant to slugs than others, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;invincibleâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bressingham blueâ&#x20AC;?.Garden centre specialists will be able to advise you about the other available varieties. Hostas can thrive through generations of gardeners, perpetuating the memory of those who first planted them and giving them pride of place in their garden.

patio cherry tomato with good flavor and lots of fruit. I leave you with some good news about the lowly spud. It has a bad rap for being high in carbohydrates and having a fairly high glycemic index (GI). This year we have a variety with a low glycemic index (rating of 58). Nicola has an oval shape with rich yellow skin and yellow waxy flesh. Good for baking or roasting. Nicola is excellent for boiling and salads. I say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bring on the butter!â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Keep cats out of your flower beds Whether it belongs to you or to your neighbours, it seems like thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always at least one very persistent cat trying to claim a flower bed as an outdoor litter box. No matter how cute the little kitty is, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no fun when he does his business on freshly planted flowers! There are many reasons for a catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frequent visits to your backyard: there might be field mice to hunt, loose, freshly turned soil to turn into a giant litter box, or warm mulch and tree trunks to sharpen claws on. Protecting your garden is a more viable solution than trying to

There are many tricks for keeping cats off your flower beds chase cats away. Here are a few tips. 1. Plant species that repel cats. Rue officinale and coleus cani-

na have particular scents that cats do not appreciate. Felines wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t linger where these plants are grown.

2. Cats can also be discouraged by obstacles. Lay chicken wire, jute cloth, or prickly stems from rose

plants over the soil. Kittyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s afternoon siestas in your vegetable plot will no longer be so cozy! 3. Sprinkle pepper on the soil after watering. If you do this on a regular basis at the beginning of the summer, cats will find somewhere else to go for the rest o f the season. Experts say that pepper is more effective than some store products sold for this purpose. 4. Without resorting to cruelty, there is one radical measure that works t e m p o r a r i l y. A short squirt from a garden hose is sure to scare a cat away, at least for a while.

In the Garden by Peter Josephy April 21,1971 - Williams Lake Tribune Written forty one years ago , this is still very good and timely advice. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the time of year again, when nurseries, garden centres and various stores are offering roses and other shrubs for sale. Roses have been very reasonably priced in store outlets, sometimes less than $1.00 each. At these prices some gardeners feel they can afford to buy new roses every year, rather than going to the trouble protecting the old ones. Then these inexpensive packaged roses leave their place of origin, in most cases California, they are probably in perfect shape. Like with other perishable commodities, trouble an easily develop when the product is not stored right. Roses and other plants simply will not stay dormant for more than a few days in 70 degrees temperatures .Now, when we purchase these roses with sprouts up to 6â&#x20AC;? long and plant them out, these sprouts invariably succumb.

98 N Second Avenue not mean that this rose will die, though many do, but it is certainly set back considerably. With our short season this must be avoided, if we want to enjoy these roses by, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say, July. Planting time varies greatly from season to season here in the Cariboo. A minimum soil temperature of 40 degrees F. is necessary for any root action to take place, and many of these packaged roses are planted too early. Many nurseries start roses in containers. These can be set out anytime during spring or sum-

mer. Often a month of growth is gained by planting these started roses. Since roses are heavy feeders, they should be planted in rich, well fertilized soil. Always make sure, that the rose is well watered in, after planting, preferably with a starter solution containing root stimulants as well as major and minor plant nutrients. Up-Start and 20-20-20 are excellent. Prune the canes back to 8â&#x20AC;? before planting. If it is desired to keep this rose over to the next season, plant your rose

deep, the bud union at least 3â&#x20AC;? below soil surface. If possible, try to purchase roses which have been grafted on their own roots, as these are hardier. After the rose is planted, it should be protected by covering it with wet burlap for one to two weeks, when the buds will break. This applies to bare root roses only. Tea roses should always be planted in groups of three or more. If just one specimen shrub is required, it is best to plant a shrub rose.
